12/01/2018 Breakfast

with Charlie Stayt

and Naga Munchetty.

Donald Trump abandons

his plans to visit

Britain next month.

The US President had been due

to open the new American embassy

in London, with protests

planned by groups opposed

to his administration.

In the past hour, he's tweeted

that he has no intention of cutting

the ribbon because the building

represents a bad deal

for the United States.

Tributes are paid to an 18-year-old

woman who's died after catching

the flu virus, as figures show

a significant surge in cases.

The devastation continues

from the California mudslides.

Officials say four children

are among the 17 people confirmed

to have been killed.

The way we bank, borrow

and save is about to change forever

and it starts tomorrow.

It's called Open Banking and means

you'll be able to ask your bank

to share your details with other

companies to get better deals.

I'll explain all you need to know.

In sport, it's too late

to make any difference,

but the referee, who awarded

a controversial penalty

which eventually cost

Northern Ireland their World Cup

play-off against Switzerland,

has now admitted, he made a mistake.

And as the Queen marks 65 years

since her Coronation,

for the first time Her Majesty lifts

the lid on what life

is like when you have

to wear a crown.

You can't look down to read the

speech, you have to take the speech

up because if you do, your neck

could break.

Today, misty and

frosty. Details on that in your

weekend forecast a news on even cold

weather on the way next week. That

is next.

In the last hour Donald Trump has

confirmed he won't visit

Britain next month.

The US President tweeted that he had

cancelled the planned

visit as he didn't want open

the new American embassy

commissioned by his

predecessor, Barack Obama.

Dan Johnson has got the latest.

After nearly 60 years flying

above London's Grosvenor Square,

the Stars and Stripes

were lowered this week,

ready for the opening

of the new US embassy.

It is a $1 billion building

on the Southbank, and Donald Trump

was due to officially

open it next month.

Is it because it would be

embarrassed the Queen and the rest

of the UK. Theresa May was the first

world leader to reach out to the new

president and a return trip, a state

visit, was promised soon but then,

the President strained at the

special relationship by sharing on

line far right videos from the group

called Britain first. When Theresa

May command -- condemned, he even

retorted. Just last weekend, she

confirmed the invite still stands.

He is taking decisions in the best

interests of the United States.

interests of the United States. And

she has done over six remarkable

decades.

decades.

At opening this place was

never the same as a state visit.

Meeting the Queen is still on,

expected this year. The President is

denying this decision was down to

politics but after he offended more

countries with a foulmouthed remark

last night, the list of places he is

welcome certainly isn't growing.

We can talk now to our

North America Corrspondent,

Peter Bowes who is in our

Los Angeles studio.

What has Donald Trump been tweeting.

The tweet came out at about midnight

east coast time. Essentially he is

saying that he did not want to be

associated with a decision that half

-- harks back to the Obama

administration, that the decision

was a bad decision as he put it, a

bad deal and he didn't want to cut

the ribbon. It is interesting

because I have here a press release

from the US Embassy which is dated

the second of October 2008. Before

the President was elected into

office. Announcing this new embassy

on the Southbank in London. It says

the new embassy will close -- serve

as a catalyst to the regeneration of

the area. It was a decision made

before President Obama. There is a

lot more that we will hear about

this controversy. Another one the

President has been involved in. Some

very tough language that he has been

using, uncouth language many would

say in terms of the debate about

immigration. It is caused a huge row

this year 's. He said Whiley having

these people from these countries?

He used a crude expression to

describe Katie, El Salvador and

other countries. What do we want all

these people from Africa here? --

Haiti. We should have people from

places like Norway. The

Nigel Farage has clarified remarks

he made yesterday calling

for a second EU referendum.

The former UKIP leader has said

although another vote

was the "last thing" he wanted,

he thought it might be forced

on the country by parliament.

Our Political Correspondent

Eleanor Garnier joins us

now from Westminster.

no longer an MP, Nigel Bharucha.

But

his words resonate with Amy.

Certainly, the idea of a second

referendum is not in Nigel Farage's

gift but it seems like an unlikely

alliance.

Nigel Farage, the man

instrumental in getting that

referendum, his long fought

referendum to leave the EU, agreeing

with remain campaigners who believe

the referendum should be revisited.

We had some Labour MPs, Liberal

Democrats agreeing with Nigel

Farage. The former leader, Nick

Clegg, tweeted I agree with Nigel.

His motivations for another vote are

different from those who want to

keep open the option of staying in

the EU. He believes that there was

another boat, people would back

Brexit and it would end the moaning

of the whingeing of some of the

Remain campaigners.

The Nick Clegg

and Tony Blair types, they will

never give up. They will go on

whingeing and whining and moaning.

Maybe, just maybe, we should have a

second referendum on EU membership.

The whole thing?

Of course. I think

if we had a second referendum, we

could make it for a generation.

He

said he was clarifying his remarks

and the second referendum was the

last thing he wanted but Parliament

might demand one so Brexit

supporters should be prepared for

one last battle. Whatever the

result, because opinion polls are

not clear on what it would be, other

Brexit supporters have not agree

with him. The current Ukip leader

said it would undermine the fabric

of our democratic intervals. Number

ten has rejected the idea, saying

the British people had made their

decision.

Thank you for explaining

all that. We will talk to Nigel

Farage about this. He is on the

programme at 830.

An 18-year-old from the Scottish

highlands has died after contracting

the flu virus.

Bethany Walker was

airlifted to hospital

in Inverness from her home

in Wester Ross, but her illness had

developed into pneumonia and staff

were unable to save her.

In England, there has been a sharp

rise in the number of flu cases seen

by GPs - up 78% from last week.

Police have released

the names of 17 people -

including four children -

who are confirmed to have died

in a mudslide which struck a small

town in southern California.

All of the dead were

residents of Montecito.

There's confusion about how

many people are missing

with one official estimate putting

the figure as high as 43.

Our North America Correspondent

James Cook reports.

In Montecito, the authorities insist

they are still in rescue mode but

the chances of finding anyone alive

are now slim. Police have released

the names of the first victims to be

identified. They include for

children aged three, six, ten and

12. And the number of people missing

may be higher than first thought.

We

certainly hope there are going to be

far fewer than that. We hope there

is not going to be any more but

realistically we suspect we are

going to continue to have discovery

of people who were killed.

Questions

are now being asked about whether

this area should have been

evacuated. Nowell fled with her two

children just before the storm but

many of my neighbours did not.

This

is like a warzone here. There are

homes that are just missing and I

walked down the street and I see

balls and toys and bicycles and

shoes and socks.

The storm didn't

just strike on the Pacific coast.

This was a surreal scene in the LA

suburb of Burbank is a mudslide

swept downhill. But the damage in --

Montecito was far worse. The

mudslide came roaring down here,

sweeping are before it and if you

want to know how houses can be swept

from their foundations so easily,

this is the answer. Just look at the

size of the boulders that were

pushed down from the mountains. Rain

was not the only cause of this

carnage. The debris was watched --

washed down of mountains stripped

bare and baked hard by a huge

wildfire. James Cook, BBC News,

Montecito.

The Queen has been talking

about some of the challenges

she faced at her Coronation,

including the weight

of the Imperial State Crown.

Her Majesty doesn't

normally do interviews,

but she spoke to the royal

commentator Alastair Bruce as part

of an upcoming BBC programme marking

the 65th anniversary

of the ceremony.

Our Royal Correspondent

Nicholas Witchell reports.

She famously doesn't do interviews.

This is probably as close as she

will get. A conversation with

questions about the Coronation, the

Crown jewels and the Imperial State

Crown warned by her and her father,

King George VI.

Fortunately my

father and I have about the same

shaped head. Once you put it on, it

stays.

It remains itself. You have

to keep your head very still.

Yes,

and you can't look down to read the

speech, you have to take the speech

up because if you did, your neck

would break, it would fall off. So

there are some disadvantages to

crowns but otherwise, they are quite

important things.

She wrote her

coronation in the gold state coach.

It weighs four times. It's not built

for.

Horrible. It's not meant for

travelling in at all. Certainly

strung on leather. So it rocks

around a lot?

Not very comfortable.

Were you in it for a long time? I

wrote around London.

Really? We must

have gone for five miles. You can

only go at walking pace. The horses

couldn't possibly go any faster.

It's so heavy. 65 years later, a

monarch talking about her

coronation. The Crown, the real one.

You can watch the Coronation on BBC

One at eight o'clock this evening.

We will talk to Alistair admitted

later. A conversation with

questions. It wasn't an interview.

What have you got fries this

morning?

Do you remember a famous

incident last November? Northern

Ireland felt really hard done by

when a penalty was awarded against

them when it was judged that Cory

Evans had acted like that?

I threw a ball at you at the time. A

lot of anger about that. It cost

Northern Ireland a place in the

World Cup. Now, the referee awarded

that penalty which cost them so much

has admitted he made a mistake.

Romanian referee Ovidiu

Hategan, has accepted

that his handball decision

against Corry Evans was wrong.

Ricardo Rodriguez's penalty,

was the only goal in the two legs,

as Switzerland booked

a World Cup spot.

Tottenham's new stadium will host

an, American football game,

for the first time,

when the Seattle Seahawks play

the Oakland Raiders, in October.

It'll be the first, of three,

N.F.L games staged in London this

year.

British bobsleigher Bruce Tasker has

been ruled out of competing at next

month's Winter Olympics

after suffering a minor

stroke last week.

Tasker is expected to make a full

recovery and resume his bobsleigh

career next season.

And it's been a good start to 2018,

for Wales' Jamie Donaldson.

He got this hole-in-one

during his opening round at

the South Africa Open yesterday.

That was a good shot, wasn't it?

Just a bit.

Fabulous.

We will take a

look at the papers.

Sorry about the

rustling noises, we are getting

sorted out.

Let's take a look at the

front page of the Times, it is

taking a look at the flu problems,

thousands more patients went to

hospital with the flu last week.

Cases have risen by half and there

are renewed calls for compulsory

vaccinations for frontline NHS

staff. The Queen returning to

Buckingham Palace after her

coronation, and she has been talking

about the weight of wearing that

Crown. We will be talking to a royal

commentator who has been talking to

the Queen.

And on quite a few

papers, this is Bethany Walker, who

died despite being airlifted to

hospital when she first became ill

with the flu. We are hearing a lot

more about people who have been

affected by that.

The Daily Mail

also picturing Bethany Walker. Its

main story takes a look at Donald

Trump cancelling his visit to

Britain for an embassy opening, amid

two fears. He will not be made

welcome, and he has tweeted in the

last hour or so that he wasn't happy

about the positioning of the US

Embassy which was put out, all was

constructed under President Obama's

administration.

And on the front

page of the Mirror, if you are

confused about Nigel Farage's

comments, initially suggesting he

wanted a second referendum, he has

clarified to a degree saying he

thinks there is an air of

inevitability. It is not something

he seeks, a second referendum on the

EU votes, but we will be speaking to

Nigel Farage so we can hear what he

says for himself. That is coming up

at about 8:30am this morning.

How

many times can we talk about Brexit

in a week, do you think?

I dread to

think what to many!

What is the

issue this week?

Different

industries are jostling for position

as far as Brexit is concerned, be at

the car industry, retail. Yesterday

Theresa May had a lot of bank bosses

to Downing Street to talk about the

future they would have in the new EU

relationship. In the Financial Times

this morning, Theresa May to

prioritise City in Brexit talks.

That will anger a low of people, as

there is anger point that are city

in terms of the financial crisis and

its role in it. It is one of our

biggest exports, though, and a huge

employer of staff in the UK. A lot

of people saying these deals are all

done behind closed doors and if you

look at the front of the Telegraph

this morning, this big picture tells

you all you need to know, fingers on

lips, not giving anything away, and

the suggestion that all of these

deals are too secretive and many

people wanting to know what exactly

Theresa May has agreed with the bank

losses as far as Brexit talks are

concerned.

Talking of deals, there

is a lot of talk about the transfer

from Arsenal of Alexis Sanchez, it

looks like he is going to

Manchester, we thought Manchester

City but a lot of papers saying

Manchester United are planning to

hijack that deal, but other papers

disputing that, saying no way, Jose.

Apparently he has turned down

Manchester United and has his heart

set on going to Manchester City. Far

more important is that in Saudi

Arabia tonight women will be able to

go to a football match for the first

time, which is pretty incredible,

isn't it? One friend says she has

been waiting since she was ten years

old and doesn't really know how to

explain how she is feeling today.

This is the passion of Saudi women

at a foot or game in full when Saudi

Arabia played Australia, because

they were allowed to go to that

match in London, but until tonight

they have not been allowed to go

inside a football stadium. They

could watch it on TV, but that will

all change.

Are they sitting in the

stand amongst men?

I think there are

segregated areas for now, at least,

but at least they are in.

Here is Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

Here is Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

It was really foggy yesterday, has

that cleared up?

No, same again

today. If you are fed up with great,

I have news of changes on the way.

Foremost, a grey start to the day.

Lots of cloud and some fog as well

across western dense patches of fog.

You may go from good visibility to

bad visibility in a short space of

time. And frost where the sky is

clear, in northern fringes of

England and Wales, temperatures

above freezing, too much cloud to

have dropped overnight, but

relentless grey skies for the vast

majority. Mist and fog across

western areas will take awhile to if

it does at all. The cloud thickener

finny scenarios for patchy light

rain and drizzle. Parts of western

Wales, north-west England and into

Scotland will clear up, we will see

sunshine yet again, but sunshine or

cloud, temperatures around where

they should be this time of year.

Around seven to nine degrees. Always

feeling better where you have the

sunny conditions. In the tonight,

some patchy drizzle across eastern

areas. Most places will be driver

time but through the night,

gradually turning letter from the

west in Northern Ireland. The same

in the far west of Wales and also

across Cornwall. Breezy conditions

with it. Temperatures about six or

seven degrees and the chance of a

touch of frost and some clearer

spots elsewhere. Northern Scotland

the Best of that into Saturday

morning. For many, as we go into the

weekend, grey skies for many.

Northern and eastern parts of

Scotland, maybe eastern parts of

England, as the breeze picks up, a

damp day. In Northern Ireland, not

clearing until later on. Turning

letter during the afternoon the part

of western Scotland, much of western

Wales, Cornwall and then into parts

of Devon as well. Temperatures

fairly similar to today's values.

Saturday night our weather front

grinds to a halt. We have wind is

coming in from either direction. It

just fizzles out to bring a rather

damp day across parts of Scotland,

western England and Wales. Patchy,

light rain and drizzle. Further east

a chilly start, but brightening up

as the breeze starts to pick up

during the day. By the end of the

day, wet and windy across parts of

western Scotland and Northern

Ireland. From Saturday night in the

Monday we will see wet and windy

weather. Gales and severe gales

sweeping its way eastwards. As that

departs Monday and into the end of

next week, the rest of next week,

low pressure to the east of Iceland

dominating things. Firing down some

pretty cold they are all way from

Greenland. So if you are fed up with

the grey and fog, some colder

conditions to go with it, but

clearing, may be severe gales for

one or two, and frequent showers,

heavy with hail and thunder, and

also some sleet and snow as well.

But at least if you have had it a

bit grey, a change coming.

Let's return to our main story,

and the news that Donald Trump has

abandoned his plans to visit

Britain next month.

Let's discuss this in more detail

now with John Tonge,

who is a politics professor

at the University of Liverpool.

It was a day of wavering

in Westminster yesterday.

First, Nigel Farage suggested

he would like a second referendum

on leaving the EU.

Then he said, actually, he didn't.

He has a way about his tweets,

particularly. This happened in the

last hour

particularly. This happened in the

last hour and a quarter, around

midnight, we are told, he has put

this one on Twitter. What do you

make of his explanation for not

coming?

He didn't waste any

opportunity to criticise the

previous administration. He says it

was an unnecessary sale of the

previous embassy and all Obama's

fault. That has been a consistent

theme for Donald Trump, he has tried

to reverse a lot of what Barack

Obama did. It will be a relief to

many in the UK. Critics will say one

visit is enough to the UK, and let's

remember the State visit is still

on. It will probably happen sometime

next autumn. This is the

cancellation of the embassy opening

visit, which I suppose you could say

in terms of the special relationship

that might be a bit embarrassing,

but frankly there will be an awful

lot of relief, I think, in the

British government. The level of

security which is required for a

presidential visit will be colossal

and there are bound to be processed,

and frankly you don't want that. You

might even put off the state visit

had it gone wrong with the opening

of the embassy.

Should we read much

into it in terms of the

relationship, or take it that Donald

Trump doesn't want anything to do

with the old administration, and it

is the politics of the US and not

internationally?

Welcome offer all

the bluster, I don't think they have

really developed a relationship.

There has been friction over the

Britain First retweet, and the

response from the American

administration was very, very sharp

indeed. So things have been frosty.

There is no sun on the horizon with

this trade deal which Britain wants

to complete with the UK fairly

quickly. All the talk of the special

relationship, I don't think there is

one at the moment with the Trump

administration.

So are the sort of

vaguely connected, Nigel Farage,

claiming to be pals with Donald

Trump. We will speak to him later,

because he has been clarifying some

comments he made. Could there be

another referendum? Here sort of

saying that he feels there is a

sense of inevitability about it, if

for no other reason than to shut

down those voices from elsewhere. Do

you want to talk us through what

mechanisms they could be for another

referendum?

I think it is

inconceivable there would be another

referendum of simply remain versus

leave. The call from Nigel Farage,

although he has backtracked from it

somewhat, I don't think that is

politically tenable. Both parties

have ruled that out categorically.

What might happen is that if the EU

offers us an unacceptable trade deal

the Westminster Parliament could

vote that down. And then we are not

in the EU land, we are not in the

single market land, not in the

customs unit land, and then what do

we do? Do we go back to the European

Union and seek a better deal? And at

some point, do we put the terms of

that deal to the British people? So

they could be a second referendum on

the terms of any deal. If the UK

parliament says the deal that the EU

is offering is not good enough, then

at some point the people may be

entitled to on whether what the EU

is offering is good enough. So I

wouldn't rule out a second

referendum, but it won't be a

straightforward remain versus leave.

It is not as simple as that. You

simply cannot rerun what happened on

23 June 20 16.

Always good to have

you on the sofa, thank you

again, Sunday mostly dry, very windy

by the end of the day. Rain on

Monday.

I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London newsroom

in half an hour.

Bye for now.

Hello - this is Breakfast

with Charlie Stayt and Naga

Munchetty.

We'll bring you the latest news

and sport in just a moment.

Here's what's coming

up on Breakfast today.

The way we manage our money

is getting a shake-up.

We'll look at whether Open Banking,

will really get you a better deal

on current accounts and savings.

Her Majesty's verdict

on the golden coach that

took her to the Coronation.

We'll speak to the man who managed

to get the Monarch to break

the spell of pomp and pageantry

of that day for a new documentary.

-- From pulpits to parishioners.

We'll meet the vicars who feature

in a new series that looks

at the role they have to play

in rural communities

and how their faith fits

in the modern world.

In the last hour, Donald Trump has

confirmed he will not visit Britain

next month. He tweeted that he had

cancelled a planned visit as he did

not want to open the new American

Embassy commissioned by his

predecessor, Barack Obama.

After nearly 60 years flying a love

-- flying above London's Grosvenor

Square, the Stars and Stripes were

lowered ready to the opening of the

new US embassy. It's billion-dollar

building on the Southbank and Donald

Trump was due to open it next month.

Now we know he won't and early this

morning, he posted his reasons on

Twitter:

Twitter: but did the prospect of

protests like this also put off?

This was the response to his ban on

travellers from certain Muslim

countries. A petition drew 1.8

million signatures with calls to ban

him.

It shouldn't be a state visit

because it would be embarrassing to

the Queen and the rest of the UK.

Theresa May was the first world

leader to reach out to the new

president and a return trip, a state

visit, was promised soon. But then

the President strain the special

relationship by sharing on line far

right videos from the group called

Britain First. When Theresa May

condemned, he then retorted. Just

last weekend, she confirmed the

invite still stands.

He is taking

decisions in the best interests of

the United States.

And he is coming

to this country?

You will be coming

to the country.

The Foreign

Secretary denied the Queen would be

embarrassed.

I think Her Majesty the

Queen is capable of taking this

American president or any American

president in her stride, as she has

done over six remarkable decades.

Let's be clear. Opening this place

was never the same as a state visit.

It would have been a shorter, less

formal trip. Meeting the Queen is

still on, expected this year, but no

date has been set. The President is

denying this decision is down to

politics but after he offended more

countries with a foulmouthed remark

last night, the list of places he is

welcome certainly isn't growing.

An 18-year-old from the Scottish

highlands has died after contracting

the flu virus.

Bethany Walker was

airlifted to hospital

in Inverness from her home

in Wester Ross, but her illness had

developed into pneumonia and staff

were unable to save her.

Elsewhere, in England,

there has been a sharp rise

in the number of flu

cases seen by GPs -

up 78 per cent from last week.

The conduct of the media is expected

to be examined by the independent

review into the response

to the Manchester Arena bombing.

22 people were killed when a bomb

was set off after a pop

concert at the venue in May.

Several of the bereaved families

have raised concerns

about the reporting of the attack.

The review will also look

at the role played by social media.

The Queen has been talking

about some of the challenges

she faced

at her Coronation 65 years ago.

As part of a BBC programme,

she spoke candidly about her journey

to the catherdral and the heaviness

of the crown she wore

when she was coronated.

What

'The Coronation' will air

on BBC One at 8pm this Sunday.

You can't look down to read

the speech, you have to take

the speech up because

if you do, your neck

could break.

So there are some disadvantages

to crowns but otherwise,

they are quite important things.

to do it initially. Then I found the

see, it's not that easy now.

There is a black pudding World

hit by one. Not that I have been.

Very useful to have around.

How big

are the black puddings?

It depends

on the category you're a competing

in. It's really not complicated.

Have you finished talking about

black pudding?

Yeah when we make

mistakes?

mistakes? When it's a big one that

costs your country a place of the

World Cup. It hurts now that the

referee has said.

The referee who awarded that

controversial penalty

which eventually cost

Northern Ireland their World Cup

play-off against Switzerland last

year has now admitted,

he made a mistake.

Ovidiu Hategan ruled

Northern Ireland's Corry Evans

blocked a shot, with his arm

during the first leg,

despite replays showing the ball

struck the player's shoulder.

Michael O'Neill's side went

on to lose the match 1-nil,

ending their hopes of reaching

a World Cup for the first time

in 32 years.

It was a sad and unpleasant moments

to me. Sad, because I made a

mistake. Painful, because with my

team of officials we had been

working well. In my world, the

referees are the same as the

goalkeepers. Everybody has made a

mistake.

Stephen Craig says two

months after the event, it is

pathetic.

This match saw a meeting of two

of the Eastern Conferences most

exciting teams, with

Staying with American

sports in the capital,

and Tottenham's hopes

of starting the new season

in their new White Hart Lane

stadium have been boosted,

after it was announced Spurs'

refurbished ground will host

the first match of the NFL

London Series in 2018.

Seattle Seahawks will play

the Oakland Raiders

at White Hart Lane in October,

and the new stadium has special

features so both football

and American football

will have their own

playing surface,

apparently.

it has been my dream for a number of

years to crate something special not

just for our fans but for an owl fan

-- and it bans local area and I

believe NFL and Premier League

soccer together, it will be

something unique in the world.

We

have got to pictures. The NFL

picture is the lower pitch. The

Premier League One will go under the

South stand. It will enable the NFL

to have as many games as they want

during that period.

England's Trina Gulliver,

still looks like the woman to beat

at darts,' B.D.O World Championship.

She's already won this tournament

ten times previously,

now she's into this year's

semi-finals at Lakeside.

She beat the Netherland's Aileen de

British bobsleigher Bruce Tasker,

has been ruled out of competing,

at next month's Winter Olympics,

after suffering a minor

stroke last week.

Tasker was due to

compete in his second

Winter Games in Pyeongchang.

He was taken to hospital

on the 4th of January,

after experiencing dizziness

and nausea, but he is expected

to make a full recovery,

and resume his bobsleigh career

by next season.

And how about this for a good way

to start off the golfing year

for Wales' Jamie Donaldson.

This was his tee shot,

at the par three 14th hole

at the South Africa Open in Edevale.

And it went in for a hole in one.

Donaldson finished his round at two

under par, five shots off

the leader.

I know what it's like to have that

feeling when you see it go all the

way in.

You have had a hole in one?

At crazy golf.

It all counts. In

training for the World

Championships.

I'm not going to beat

that.

Dozens of senior Accident

and Emergency doctors in England

and Wales have written a letter

to the Prime Minister warning that

patients are dying in hospital

corridors and conditions

are at times 'intolerable'.

(PRES) It follows a number

of reports of patients waiting hours

for beds or being left on trollies.

Health bosses say 'very high' rates

of flu is placing pressure

on the NHS.

Stephen Lord is one of the medics

who signed the letter to Theresa

May.

He joins us now.

This is unprecedented. We haven't

seen a group, people like you get

together and sign this matter. What

is taking you to this point? We

expect every winter to be tough on

patience. But this winter has proved

tougher than any of the previous

ones we have worked. We put patient

care at the centre of our focus.

This winter, we have seen on

unprecedented levels, but care being

compromised, delays in treatment,

not being able to see patients in a

timely manner. We decided it was

time to speak up and raise our

concerns. You are a clinical

director who oversees a A&E

department. Are you worried about

people dying in your department when

they potentially shouldn't be?

I

worry about patients coming to harm.

I have long ambulance queues at

times. Waiting to get into a cubicle

to be seen by my staff. All the time

that they are delayed, they are not

getting the care that they need.

You

speak in very measured terms. You

have signed a public letter asking

for action from the government, from

the Prime Minister.

Have you had a

response? Not yet other than the

bits that were in the media

yesterday. The letter was signed on

Wednesday and went out yesterday,

which was leaked by the Health

Service Journal.

The stock response

right now it is what the government

line is. Extra resources have been

put in place. There is a plan to

deal with what we are dealing with

now. That is the stock response to

what your saying.

Every winter, we

have a plan going into winter. Every

plan needs resources in both real

estate, people but also the finances

to back it. We have seen this

winter, our hospital sitting at

around 95% occupancy. Efficiency

relies on about 85% occupancy. It

means we can't get patients through

the hospital quicken up. There is

not enough social care are out there

to look after an elderly population.

We often hear about the precipice,

the edge of something. Can you give

us a picture of what the next stage

is that it carries on like this?

What is the next stage? What does

that look like? The next stage will

be large numbers of patients coming

to a significant harm.

Increasing

mortality across hospitals because

patients are not getting the

treatment they require in the time

they require.

Give me an idea of numbers.

This

year in my department we have seen a

2% increase in attendances but we

have admitted another five or 6% of

patients to the hospital. So from my

department that is about another

five patients per day. On our worst

day we admitted another 20 patients

over where we would expect to admit

on a normal day. And that is on top

of all the normal work. And these

patients at times are waiting more

than 12 hours in my department. You

know, that is three times the length

of time that people should be

waiting. We should see, and we

should discharge and had met people

in four hours. But people are

waiting 20 hours.

What would you say

to someone at this moment in time

needs to take someone to A&E or send

someone to A&E. People hearing this

will think I don't want to send a

relative if there is a risk of

coming to harm.

We always see people

in a priority order. Everyone is

triage at the front door, so we will

see them at the order of their

clinical need. We will see everyone

and give them the treatments they

require, but unless we can sort the

system out, we will make no

guarantees. In -- even senior

doctors can't make that guarantee.

And we will be keeping an eye on

that story this morning. We are also

looking at the weather picture as

well.

Here is Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

Very good morning to you, and no big

changes on the weather front at the

moment. There will

changes on the weather front at the

moment. There will be next week, as

I will show you. Out there today we

have the familiar colour of grey

overhead for the vast majority. Some

will brighten up a early-morning

commuters on the roads across

western parts of the UK will have

some fog around, and these areas are

most likely to see some frost.

Temperatures dropping down to -3, -4

in northern Scotland, just below

freezing in the south-west. Either

side of it you are frost free but

the figures cloud is producing rain

and drizzle around the eastern

areas, from London all the way

towards the Wash at the moment. The

odd heavy burst here and they will

come and go all day long across some

parts of eastern England. For most

it is a dry day and some of the mist

and fog will clear. Some of you will

see some sunshine. The best chance

of sunshine in western Wales, parts

of north-west England and the North

of Scotland and while temperatures

across the border fairly similar,

that bit sunshine will make him feel

much better. Into the night, the

wind coming from the south-east. No

push from the Atlantic at the

moment, this weather front trying to

push its way in. It will bring rain

by the end of the night in Northern

Ireland and Pembrokeshire and

Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Most generally dry. The odd spot of

light rain and drizzle in the breeze

as we have seen the past few nights

and lots of cloud into Saturday

morning. So another grey start for

the start of the weekend. Wet in

Northern Ireland, turning wet in

western Scotland for a good part of

western Wales, Cornwall and parts of

Devon. More so across Scotland,

parts of eastern Wales will stay

dry. The better chance of a few

cloud breaks to the south and east

tomorrow compared with recent days,

and temperatures similar to today.

Through Saturday night and into

Sunday, that weather front coming

off the Atlantic sits in place

across parts of Scotland, Wales,

towards the south-west. Here we will

see the greatest conditions --

greatest conditions to begin with. A

few breaks in the South and East

with early-morning frost and fog.

Temperatures struggling after the

chilly start by the end of the day

western Scotland and Northern

Ireland will have heavy rain and

gusty winds spreading its weight in.

Through Sunday night into Monday,

here comes the change. Gales and

severe gale force winds. Clear in

the south-east and by the time we

get to the end of Monday, just

follow the isobars back all the wage

agreement from North Canada, much

colder air will follow in its wake.

That will sweep away the grade, the

murkiness, the mist that we have

seen over this week on introducing

crisper conditions at times, but it

will feel colder. Pretty windy as

well, widespread gales expected and

lots of showers around. Heavy with

hail and thunder and increasingly

sleet and snow across northern and

western areas as well. A big change

from what we have just now.

I think

you should have stopped that windy.

Thank you very much.

This is a new one on me, Ben, the

idea of open banking.

It is a bit

complicated and it will take awhile

to its presence felt but it is a

really significant change to the way

we do our banking. The way that we

bank, borrow and save is about to

change forever. It is called open

banking and it is the biggest

shakeup in a generation. So why is

it happening and what does it mean

for us? For years, our High Street

banks have dominated the market for

savings and current accounts. Most

of us stay with the same bank for

decades and so the regulator wants

to make it easier to shop around,

creating more competition. We could

save nearly £100 a year just by

switching banks and even more if you

regularly use alone, an overdraft or

a mortgage. At the moment there are

just too many forms to fill in each

time we want to sign up for

something new. And so new EU rules

mean big banks will be forced to

share our information if we ask them

to, so we can signup to new deals,

switch or get better interest rates,

all at the click of a button.

Number

one, personal budgeting, the ability

to see where my money comes from

under categories I am spending it

on. I'm getting better visibility

with that. The second one is the

ability to bring all my accounts

into one place, so I might look on a

smartphone or banking out and see

not just the current account from

the tank, but other products and

services that I might have, alone

overdraft, for example. And

services that I might have, alone

overdraft, for example. And the

third one would be around financial

management, and that would be things

like overdraft alerts, for example,

so the ability to find better

products which are more suited to me

and the ability to switch to those

products as well.

But just how safe

is it? When you sign up a new

product you will be asked if you

want to share your financial data

and who you want to share it with.

If you don't agree, it won't be

shared. But not everyone is made

confident by those changes. A recent

survey found the majority of

consumers are still sceptical about

sharing their financial data. One of

the biggest concerns is security.

People will be sharing sensitive

financial data. Third parties,

perhaps brands you have never heard

of, will be able to take a real peek

into your current account and look

at where you spend, your habits and

your vices, and do you feel

comfortable sharing that? Of course

there is the risk that that data

could go astray or it could be

intercepted by fraudsters, and they

would really hold the keys to your

financial life.

But remember, you

have to give your permission before

anyone can see that data. In theory

it should make it easier to shop

around. Remember, it all officially

begins tomorrow. Just a small number

of banks say they are ready for

these changes, others have been

given more time to comply. Credit

card companies, mortgage firms and

insurers will sign up as well. You

might not notice any changes just

yet but the changes are coming, and

that revolution starts tomorrow.

Thank you very much.

If you visit Thirlmere,

in the Lake District,

the only sounds you will hear

are the chirping of birds

and the trickle of a nearby stream.

That could soon change, though.

A consultation on the construction

of a new zip wire across

the reservoir ends today.

Developers say it will bring

new tourists to the area.

But the proposal hasn't gone down

well with conservationists,

as Breakfast Graham

Satchell reports.

Hidden in the trees next to Lake

Windermere, is acquire. -- zip wire.

Kia and will are about to go down

for the first time.

IBook this was

his birthday.

Would you normally

come to the Lakes anywhere?

We

haven't been before, no.

Go!

Bringing new people to the Lakes is

just one reason. Treetop trek want

to build one more zip wire half an

hour at the road at Thirlmere. So

you can't really do this story

without actually having a go. So

here we go. One, two at three! So

the people behind this new zip wire

say it will create 15 new jobs, and

should create £600,000 for the

economy, and there should be 50,000

people a year using it.

It is about

getting outdoors, doing something

you wouldn't normally do,

challenging yourself. And I think

the more people we can encourage to

get outdoors and to get up into the

cells and to get around the lakes,

the better.

The plans would see four

wires going across the water one way

at Thirlmere, a quick track, and

then four wires going back to the

other side.

other side. And this is Thirlmere.

Breathtaking, Majestic, Sareen, and

surprising. It is surprising

because, actually, most of what you

can see here is man-made. The trees,

for example, were planted in the

early 1900s, and the water is not a

lake on it is a reservoir, built in

the 1890s to supply water to

Manchester, which it still does

today. There was a huge row when

this reservoir was built between

industrialists and city folk to the

south and a group of locals,

including the poet and philosopher

John Ruskin, who many consider to be

the founding father of modern

conservation is. Rusk and lost the

first battle of Thirlmere, but the

group he was part of, now called the

friends of the Lakes district, is

determined not to lose this one.

I

love getting out, getting away from

it all. And I think having all these

visitors here will spoil that, will

spoil the landscape.

Zip wires have

a place, but not in urban landscape,

and certainly not across an expanse

of open water.

I have been on one,

you do scream, you can't help it. It

would just be awful to have that

here, when you come here for

peaceful walks in nature.

What do

you think John Ruskin would have

made of your zip wires proposal?

I

have absolutely no idea whatsoever.

But we shouldn't be afraid of words

like thrill and fun. They should go

hand-in-hand with words like his

ability.

These pictures show what it

might be like to go the proposed new

zip wire. There is a big question

here. Should the late district be

opened up to more people who

wouldn't normally come, or should be

left in peace, it is?

That makes me want to go to the Lake

District this weekend.

And you can

understand why sentiments run high,

because it looks so stunning.

the breeze will pick up a touch, so

mist and fog not too much an issue

in the tomorrow morning. A few spots

of rain. A low cloud around again.

Those four or five Celsius. Now,

temperatures will go down a touch

over the course of the weekend. A

lot of cloud around. Mostly dry,

some brighter spells that time.

Turning windy by the end of Sunday.

And then it is a wet start to the

new working week.

And then it is a wet start to the

Details on that in your weekend

forecast a news on even cold

weather on the way next week.

That is next.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Donald Trump has

confirmed he won't visit

Britain next month.

The US President tweeted that he had

cancelled the planned

visit as he didn't want open

the new American embassy

commissioned by his

predecessor, Barack Obama.

Dan Johnson has got the latest.

After nearly 60 years flying

above London's Grosvenor Square,

the Stars and Stripes

were lowered this week,

ready for the opening

of the new US embassy.

It is a $1 billion building

on the Southbank, and Donald Trump

was due to officially

open it next month.

Now, we know he won't.

Some sources say the President

did not want to be associated

Donald Trump has got to go!

But did the prospect of protests

like this also put off?

This was the response to his ban

on travellers from certain

Muslim countries.

A petition drew 1.8 million

signatures with calls to ban him.

It shouldn't be a state visit

because it would be embarrassing

to the Queen and the rest of the UK.

Theresa May was the first

world leader to reach out

to the new President and a return

trip, a state visit,

was promised soon.

But then the President strained

the special relationship by sharing

online far-right videos

from the group called Britain First.

When Theresa May condemned,

he then retorted.

When Theresa May condemned,

he even retorted.

But just last weekend, she confirmed

the invite still stands.

He is taking decisions in the best

interests of the United States.

And he is coming to this country?

He will be coming to the country.

The Foreign Secretary denied

the Queen would be embarrassed.

I think Her Majesty the Queen

is capable of taking this

American President or any American

president in her stride,

as she has done over

six remarkable decades.

Let's be clear.

Opening this place was never

the same as a state visit.

It would have been a shorter,

less formal trip.

Meeting the Queen is still on,

expected this year, but no date

has been set.

The President is denying this

decision is down to politics

but after he offended more countries

with a foulmouthed remark last

night, the list of places he is

welcome certainly isn't growing.

We can talk now to our

North America Corrspondent,

Eleanor Garnier who is in our

Los Angeles studio.

How special is this relationship?

Some may say it is a snub. It is not

a good look to have

a good look to have another bit of

having said that, is he doing it

deliberately to annoy the British

government? I don't think so. It is

a backdrop of a strained

relationship it has been strained at

times. It was only last week we

heard the Prime Minister was saying

that the President would be visiting

the UK. The state visit, that's with

all the pomp and ceremony where

Donald Trump would be seeing the

Queen, that has been on the

backburner but there is a more

straightforward visit, a working

visit, and it was due to take place

next month. We know Donald Trump's

public official reason becoming is

because he is unhappy with the

building and its relocation, all the

BBC understands although Donald

Trump is blaming the Obama

administration, the decision was

taken before President Obama came

into office. There are other reasons

being suggested for coming? The

threat of anti-Trump demonstrations.

The Mayor of London has made it

clear that he doesn't think he is

welcome in this country. Another

difficulty is that when Theresa May

made that invitation to Donald Trump

to come to the UK that state visit,

it was very early on. It became a

very controversial invitation.

Formerly made by the Queen. There's

a lot of pressure on this visit. It

is ratcheted up the diplomatic

pressure. I think that is why it

might feel a bit uncomfortable for

those at Number 10.

An 18-year-old from the Scottish

highlands has died after contracting

the flu virus.

Bethany Walker was

airlifted to hospital

in Inverness from her home

in Wester Ross, but her illness had

developed into pneumonia and staff

were unable to save her.

In England, there has been a sharp

rise in the number of flu cases seen

Away this winter has proved very

tough. We as doctors put patient

care is our number one focus. We

seek optimisers in treatment,

delays, not seeing patients in a

timely manner. Through that, we

decided it's time to speak up and

raise our concerns.

The Queen has been talking

about some of the challenges

she faced at her Coronation,

including the weight

of the Imperial State Crown.

Her Majesty doesn't

normally do interviews,

but she spoke to the royal

commentator Alastair Bruce as part

of an upcoming BBC programme marking

the 65th anniversary

of the ceremony.

Our Royal Correspondent

Nicholas Witchell reports.

She famously doesn't do interviews.

This is probably as

close as she will get.

A conversation with questions

about the Coronation,

the Crown Jewels and

the Imperial State

Crown warned by her and her

father, King George VI.

Fortunately my father

and I have about the same

sort of shaped head.

Once you put it on, it stays.

It just remains itself.

You have to keep your

head very still.

Yes, and you can't look

down to read the speech,

you have to take the speech

up because if you did,

your neck would break,

it would fall off.

So there are some disadvantages

to crowns but otherwise,

they're quite important things.

She rode her coronation

in the gold state coach.

It weighs four tonnes.

It's not built for comfort.

Horrible.

It's not meant for

travelling in at all.

It's only sprung on leather.

So it rocks around a lot?

Not very comfortable.

Were you in it for a long time?

I rode around London.

Really?

We must have gone

four or five miles.

You can only go at walking pace.

The horses couldn't

possibly go any faster.

It's so heavy.

coronation.

going to bring the weather.

Flamboyant, confident and a young

man who loved to be the centre

of attention, Martyn Hett was among

the 22 people killed

in the attack last May.

His family found themselves

in the media spotlight,

almost from the very moment

they heard about the explosion.

Judith Moritz has this report.

The Manchester Arena explosion

shattered countless lives. 22 were

lost, many more were changed

forever. He made international

headlines and that meant there was

huge media interest in the stories

of those most closely affected. They

included the family of Martyn Hett,

one of those killed in the blast. He

had a large social media following

and had previously been on TV, and

possibly as a result, his family

found themselves in the spotlight

almost from the very moment they

heard about their explosion and

before they knew Martyn had died.

It

seems a bit dissed tasteful, really.

How can anybody be so cool and say

sorry for your loss? We didn't find

out officially this evening until he

was dead.

Now an independent panel

will consider the way the media

covered the stories of the breeds

and injured. The review panel will

recommend that public organisations

adopt a charter which uses lessons

learned from the Hillsborough

disaster. It states that the

bereaved and vulnerable should be

treated with respect and put first

by those responding to such public

tragedies.

Joining us as Lord Kerslake, the

chair of the review. And Stuart

Murray, Martyn Hett's father. How do

you feel now? No one can put a time

on how long to grieve and how much

you miss. You will always miss

Martyn. How do you think you are

treated or approached by the media?

I think, media point of view, if you

imagine that one minute, you are at

home watching it on the TV and you

go to the arena to get some news and

if you imagine how it would feel,

you leave your children at home.

Your teenagers while you are trying

to find out news of what happens,

and while you are there, you don't

even know what has happened. There

are people knocking on the door at

home to your children. Saving our

condolences about your brother,

would you like to talk about it?

That is nine and ten o'clock in the

morning. We won't even told until

ten o'clock at night. But was

confirmed. How would you feel is

apparent that was happening to your

children?

How did you know that had

happened? The children account of

the stories. They told you about

that.

It was our children and those

where we lived, the media found the

address of our children who don't

live at home and some of Martyn's

friends, his flatmates.

friends, his flatmates. This is

before we even had news and

confirmation of what had happened.

Those people it happened to, those

enquiries by the media? What was the

impact of that?

impact of that?

I suppose that makes

you, the people involved angry and

cautious how they would deal with

the media thereafter. If you're

trying to make an impression that is

not the way to make an impression if

you want to try were to be involved

with them. It's not a good way to

start.

We will talk about that

because we've spoken to you before.

Lord Kerslake, you have spoken to

members of the family, family

members, survivors, people who are

at the media. What has been your

impression about how the media has

behaved? How has that been

inappropriate in terms of media

guidelines?

We really wanted to tell

the story in terms of the bereaved

and injured. A lot of the media

handed -- handled things

respectfully but there were

occasions where they didn't. What

you find here is that with social

media, the identity of those were

missing becomes known quite quickly.

Then it is, how does the media

respond to that situation? We have

heard, I think, of an example where

they did badly. We wanted to look at

and go through the detail of this,

what can we learn from this? Have

the lessons of previous events like

this been learned? Its early stages.

Have you been able to draw any

conclusions about that? There are

certain realities here which you

have come to deal with. Social media

exists. Social media is going to

appear. That will not change. What

can be done?

We want to do a bit

more work, you are quite right,

before we reach a conclusion. But

most people would think it would be

quite wrong to go to the door of

somebody's house where the family

don't yet know the outcome

themselves, as we have heard from

Stuart, and express condolences for

their loss. We must find a way in

which that doesn't happen.

There is

a balance, isn't there, Stuart, in

terms of what people want to know.

You have been on the sofa talking

about Martin, remembering him, and

people are interested. People want

to know about the people who are

victims of this atrocity. There is a

way that the media needs to get that

across to people, when we see

something like what happened at the

Manchester Arena. Where do you think

the lines have been blurred, or

perhaps stepped over

inappropriately?

I think as one of

the victims' families, I think our

role is to describe what has

happened, and then let all the

individual organisations decide

whether what they did was right. I

don't want to be seen to be saying

this is what you must do. There are

lots of different things happen, and

you have to look at what happens to

everyone. We feed it back and then

we want all the different

organisations who have been involved

in looking after us afterwards to

say what they did, was it right,

could they have improved it?

You

described the immediate aftermath,

and soul of those hours immediately

afterwards, when the press were

doing those things. In the longer
