0:00:07 > 0:00:12Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
0:00:12 > 0:00:14Crunch time for Carillion - emergency talks continue
0:00:14 > 0:00:17to save the construction giant who runs 900 schools,
0:00:17 > 0:00:17highways and prisons.
0:00:17 > 0:00:20But critics say warnings about the firm's financial
0:00:20 > 0:00:28troubles were ignored.
0:00:31 > 0:00:38I'll be looking at what it means for the 20,000 UK workers and projects
0:00:38 > 0:00:43like HS2.
0:00:45 > 0:00:47Good morning, it's Monday 15th January.
0:00:47 > 0:00:54Also this morning -
0:00:54 > 0:00:57Under pressure - UKIP leader, Henry Bolton, faces calls to quit,
0:00:57 > 0:00:59after his girlfriend made racist remarks
0:00:59 > 0:01:04about Prince Harry's fiancee.
0:01:04 > 0:01:06Inside the world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh,
0:01:06 > 0:01:08where hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees have fled
0:01:08 > 0:01:15violence in Myanmar.
0:01:15 > 0:01:17In sport - its Giggs for Wales.
0:01:17 > 0:01:20The Manchester United legend will be named the new national coach later -
0:01:20 > 0:01:21replacing Chris Coleman.
0:01:21 > 0:01:25And Carol has the weather.
0:01:25 > 0:01:30Good morning from outside the BBC here in London. I will tell you why
0:01:30 > 0:01:33you're a here as a go through the morning but in the weather, while we
0:01:33 > 0:01:37have a band of heavy rain and strong winds, behind it, we have lost three
0:01:37 > 0:01:42showers, some of which will be wintry in the hills in the north. --
0:01:42 > 0:01:47blustery.
0:01:47 > 0:01:51Crucial talks are due to take place between creditors and government
0:01:51 > 0:01:55officials later in an attempt to save one of Britain's biggest
0:01:55 > 0:01:59construction -- construction firms. Karelian is involved in HS2 and
0:01:59 > 0:02:06crossrail and it has £900 million of debts. -- Carillion.
0:02:06 > 0:02:10From schools, hospitals, prisons, roads, railways and the National
0:02:10 > 0:02:15Grid. Carillion is at the greed of the vast portfolio of public sector
0:02:15 > 0:02:19construction projects and maintenance services. But it is in
0:02:19 > 0:02:23deep financial trouble. Problems are broad and spiralling costs on some
0:02:23 > 0:02:30major here mean it is struggling to manage debts of around £900 million.
0:02:30 > 0:02:34And attention deficit of over half a billion. The banks that Karelian
0:02:34 > 0:02:38owes money to will meet government officials today at Whitehall --
0:02:38 > 0:02:44Carillion. They will be trying to avoid administration. They want the
0:02:44 > 0:02:47government to guarantee money if Carillion can't make its payments
0:02:47 > 0:02:51but in fact, that would be bailing out a private company, one that had
0:02:51 > 0:02:55been paying out dividends to its shareholder was as recently as last
0:02:55 > 0:03:01June. -- shareholders. With hundreds and thousands of subcontractors
0:03:01 > 0:03:04working on Carillion projects, the effects of the firm going under
0:03:04 > 0:03:07could be devastating.
0:03:07 > 0:03:13So much to chat about. We know the talks are ongoing, Steph. How did
0:03:13 > 0:03:19they get into this situation?It is interesting because it is a huge
0:03:19 > 0:03:22company that runs so many different parts of our lives, hospitals,
0:03:22 > 0:03:27schools, as I was saying. Also big construction projects. The problem
0:03:27 > 0:03:31is, there is not as much money to be made in these areas now. When these
0:03:31 > 0:03:34companies are fighting for government projects, they will often
0:03:34 > 0:03:38put in pretty low margins in order to be able to do it. If anything
0:03:38 > 0:03:43goes wrong in those projects, it means that if there is any delays,
0:03:43 > 0:03:47which they have been in some of the big ones, like the Royal Liverpool
0:03:47 > 0:03:50Hospital, it can mean they don't have enough money to keep things
0:03:50 > 0:03:54going because they are not making a massive amount of money any more.
0:03:54 > 0:04:00They have seen big projects not make as much money because of delays and
0:04:00 > 0:04:05various other things. Also some of their contracts abroad. In the
0:04:05 > 0:04:09Middle East, they have been slow getting payments from that. It is
0:04:09 > 0:04:13their cash flow. This is not a business that does not have any
0:04:13 > 0:04:16business. It not like when sometimes we talk about retailers and they
0:04:16 > 0:04:20have lost customers. It is the fact they have not managed their cash
0:04:20 > 0:04:25flow. They haven't got the money now to be able to pay the debts so they
0:04:25 > 0:04:29owe the banks a lot of money and the banks have been kind to them already
0:04:29 > 0:04:33recently by allowing them to not have too pay them so fast. It is
0:04:33 > 0:04:37coming to the point where everyone is going, hang on a minute, we have
0:04:37 > 0:04:41given the ages. What are you doing about it, we are still struggling to
0:04:41 > 0:04:45get our money back. That is the issue. Even though there are lots of
0:04:45 > 0:04:49talks going on to work out whether they can afford to make these
0:04:49 > 0:04:52payments, the banks will be asking for a bit of a commitment from the
0:04:52 > 0:04:56government but then the alarm bells started ringing, are we bailing out
0:04:56 > 0:05:02another company? Will that cost the taxpayer? .Plenty more detail on
0:05:02 > 0:05:04that throughout the morning.
0:05:04 > 0:05:06There's mounting pressure this morning on the UKIP leader,
0:05:06 > 0:05:07Henry Bolton, to resign.
0:05:07 > 0:05:09It's after his girlfriend, Jo Marney, was suspended
0:05:09 > 0:05:12from the party for making racist remarks about Prince Harry's
0:05:12 > 0:05:13fiancee, Meghan Markle.
0:05:13 > 0:05:15Our political correspondent, Iain Watson, joins us from
0:05:15 > 0:05:15Westminster.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21Iain, is Mr Bolton likely to stand down?
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Hopefully we speak to Mr Bolton in half an hour. Will he be likely to
0:05:26 > 0:05:32stand down?So far, he has remained defiant. He says no, he won't go. Of
0:05:32 > 0:05:36course, Henry Bolton who was only elected as leader of UKIP last
0:05:36 > 0:05:42September, he wanted the party to refocus on Brexit. Since then, it
0:05:42 > 0:05:45has been his personal life all over the papers. The most recent incident
0:05:45 > 0:05:48where those remarks by his girlfriend Jo Marney suggesting that
0:05:48 > 0:05:56Mick and Michael Will Paynter the Royal family. She has apologised. --
0:05:56 > 0:06:09Meghan Markle will taint. There are a couple of current MEPs saying he
0:06:09 > 0:06:12should consider his position. One thing for certain, he has come back
0:06:12 > 0:06:19a couple of times before but we are told that Nigel Farage is not up for
0:06:19 > 0:06:22another go at leadership this time.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25We'll be speaking to Henry Bolton in just over half an hour.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29The government is being urged to drop its target of reducing net
0:06:29 > 0:06:31migration to the "tens of thousands" a year,
0:06:31 > 0:06:33because MPs say it "undermines" trust in the state's ability
0:06:33 > 0:06:34to control immigration.
0:06:34 > 0:06:38A report from the home affairs Committee also warns that a lack
0:06:38 > 0:06:40of official data has allowed anxiety over the number of people
0:06:40 > 0:06:43illegally living in the UK to grow "unchecked".
0:06:43 > 0:06:51Our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, has more.
0:06:51 > 0:06:55Britain is preparing to leave the European Union and when it does,
0:06:55 > 0:06:59there will be a new set of laws about immigration from EU countries.
0:06:59 > 0:07:03Some believe it is a chance to reassess the government target on
0:07:03 > 0:07:07net migration, set by David Cameron eight years ago. Net migration is
0:07:07 > 0:07:13the difference between a number of people coming to live in the UK and
0:07:13 > 0:07:16those leaving the country. It is currently 230,000, more than double
0:07:16 > 0:07:23the target in less than 100,000. A target that has never been met.The
0:07:23 > 0:07:28problem with a target if it treats all immigration the same and we have
0:07:28 > 0:07:31seen strong evidence that people think different kinds of migration
0:07:31 > 0:07:34should be treated differently and you certainly shouldn't have a
0:07:34 > 0:07:38student in the target. That is why we think the whole target should be
0:07:38 > 0:07:44replaced by a new framework.In its report, the home affairs Committee
0:07:44 > 0:07:46makes recommendations to resolve confidence in the immigration system
0:07:46 > 0:07:52and it says that the government should challenge myths. It calls for
0:07:52 > 0:07:57a three-year migration plan to build consensus. It also says an official
0:07:57 > 0:08:00estimate of illegal immigration is needed to reassure people the issue
0:08:00 > 0:08:06is being taken seriously.People want to see migrants contribute
0:08:06 > 0:08:11through the work, the skills they bring. They also want a system that
0:08:11 > 0:08:21is competently controlled.The Home Office says it remains committed to
0:08:21 > 0:08:24reducing migration to sustainable levels. The department says Bates
0:08:24 > 0:08:31nature it is not possible to produce an estimate. -- by its nature.
0:08:31 > 0:08:33President Trump has denied being a racist -
0:08:33 > 0:08:36as a row continues over offensive language he allegedly used
0:08:36 > 0:08:38to describe immigrants from Haiti and Africa.
0:08:38 > 0:08:40He is accused of using the word during a private
0:08:40 > 0:08:42meeting on immigration in the White House.
0:08:42 > 0:08:45In his first direct response to accusations of racism,
0:08:45 > 0:08:51Donald Trump told reporters he had not made the comments.
0:08:51 > 0:08:51No.
0:08:51 > 0:08:52No, I'm not a racist.
0:08:52 > 0:08:55I'm the least racist person you have ever interviewed,
0:08:55 > 0:08:58that I can tell you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08A cross-part group of MP's are launching an inquiry
0:09:08 > 0:09:12into what more can be done to tackle sexual harrassment in public places,
0:09:12 > 0:09:14such as on the street and in bars and clubs.
0:09:14 > 0:09:21Research by YouGov suggests 85% of women between 18 and 24 years
0:09:21 > 0:09:23have experienced unwanted sexual attention in public.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27The Women and Equalities Committee says it wants to understand why it
0:09:27 > 0:09:30happens and establish what can be done to combat the problem.
0:09:30 > 0:09:34A leading charity is claiming thousands of parents in England
0:09:34 > 0:09:37are struggling to pay nursery fees, because of problems accessing
0:09:37 > 0:09:40a government website.
0:09:40 > 0:09:43The Pre-school Learning Alliance says glitches on the HMRC
0:09:43 > 0:09:46site mean some parents are missing out on their right to 30 hours free
0:09:46 > 0:09:54childcare or tax breaks.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58But the government says fewer than 2% of parents who have opened
0:09:58 > 0:10:00accounts had encountered problems.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02Representatives from North and South Korea are meeting
0:10:02 > 0:10:05to discuss details of the North's participation in next month's Winter
0:10:05 > 0:10:05Olympics.
0:10:05 > 0:10:07Talks are being held inside the demilitarised zone
0:10:07 > 0:10:08between the two countries.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10Our correspondent, Sophie Long, is in Seoul -
0:10:10 > 0:10:18has any progress been made?
0:10:21 > 0:10:26Louise, these talks this morning have very narrow focus and that is
0:10:26 > 0:10:30the artistic troupe that North Korea says it wants to send to the Winter
0:10:30 > 0:10:34Olympics which get under way in the south next month. Details of the
0:10:34 > 0:10:39size of that delegation, potentially how they will travel to South Korea
0:10:39 > 0:10:43and the exact performance schedule as well. Last week, we saw
0:10:43 > 0:10:47government level talks taking place at the talks today are also
0:10:47 > 0:10:53happening. Today, on the north side but on the south side last week. The
0:10:53 > 0:10:59delegation is different this time. There is a member of the lead singer
0:10:59 > 0:11:05of a North Korean girl band present. Very different level of talks. We
0:11:05 > 0:11:13have also had a separate level of development. They are talking about
0:11:13 > 0:11:16other aspects of their attendance at the Olympics next month. That will
0:11:16 > 0:11:22take place on the 17th of January. Wednesday and again on Saturday,
0:11:22 > 0:11:29talks taking place in the IRC about the number of athletes and
0:11:29 > 0:11:33competitors that will attend. Today's talks, just one level of
0:11:33 > 0:11:41many working level talks to take place in the run-up to the Winter
0:11:41 > 0:11:45Olympics in that North Korea will send a delegation.
0:11:45 > 0:11:49If you have a fear of flying you might want to look away now.
0:11:49 > 0:11:51These are the incredible pictures of the aftermath
0:11:51 > 0:11:54of an incident at an airport in Turkey.
0:11:54 > 0:11:57Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7 lost control, before skidding off
0:11:57 > 0:12:00the runway, plunging over a cliff and coming to rest just before
0:12:00 > 0:12:01hitting the sea.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04Pictures taken from inside the plane have also
0:12:04 > 0:12:07emerged - giving us an insight into the reaction of passengers
0:12:07 > 0:12:08inside the aircraft.
0:12:08 > 0:12:10Incredibly, all of the 168 passengers and crew
0:12:10 > 0:12:18escaped without injury.
0:12:21 > 0:12:30Just... Terrifying. Meters away from being in the sea. Incredibly, they
0:12:30 > 0:12:39all got away. Don't understand why all how it stopped.
0:12:39 > 0:12:51We are also hit to look at the day's sport. -- why or how. I remember
0:12:51 > 0:12:56saying Ryan
0:12:58 > 0:13:02saying Ryan Giggs was in there. He hasn't got any manager experience,
0:13:02 > 0:13:09he is not interested in playing for Wales. They say! Here he is now,
0:13:09 > 0:13:14about to be unveiled as the Wales manager. It has had a mixed
0:13:14 > 0:13:16response.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18There's a press conference scheduled for this afternoon,
0:13:18 > 0:13:20where Ryan Giggs is expected to be named
0:13:20 > 0:13:22as the new manager of Wales.
0:13:22 > 0:13:24He succeeds Chris Coleman, who stood down in November.
0:13:24 > 0:13:27It'll be his first full-time job in management -
0:13:27 > 0:13:30he took charge of Manchester United for four games in 2014,
0:13:30 > 0:13:31after David Moyes was sacked.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Manchester City have been beaten for the first time
0:13:34 > 0:13:37in the Premier League this season - they lost 4-3 at Liverpool -
0:13:37 > 0:13:40City manager Pep Guardiola said they'd learned good lessons -
0:13:40 > 0:13:43and they're still 15 points clear at the top of the table.
0:13:43 > 0:13:46Britain's Kyle Edmund has claimed the biggest win of his career,
0:13:46 > 0:13:49beating Kevin Anderson in five sets to reach the second
0:13:49 > 0:13:51round of the Australian Open in Melbourne.
0:13:51 > 0:13:54Anderson was the 11th seed, and reached the final of the US Open
0:13:54 > 0:13:55in September.
0:13:55 > 0:14:01And there was a major shock at the UK Masters Snooker -
0:14:01 > 0:14:04world number one Mark Selby has been knocked out in the first round,
0:14:04 > 0:14:06losing in a final-frame decider to Mark Williams.
0:14:06 > 0:14:14Selby was also eliminated early in the UK Championship last month.
0:14:16 > 0:14:22You going to hang around?
0:14:24 > 0:14:31It's windy where you are, Carol, isn't it?
0:14:31 > 0:14:36It certainly is, good morning, everyone. It is windy and wet for us
0:14:36 > 0:14:39this morning, the wind and the rain clearing into the North Sea through
0:14:39 > 0:14:43the course of the day followed by some blustery showers. The showers
0:14:43 > 0:14:48across the north of the country will be wintry in nature, but at this
0:14:48 > 0:14:51stage mostly high ground. As we start the forecast at 9am, in
0:14:51 > 0:14:55Scotland we have some snow showers, as I mentioned, mostly at high
0:14:55 > 0:14:59ground that this stage. Later in the day we will see them at higher
0:14:59 > 0:15:03levels, and some dry and bright conditions. Living in the northern
0:15:03 > 0:15:07England, a plethora of showers, some of them merging so we will see some
0:15:07 > 0:15:11heavy ones at times. That continue southwards through the Midlands,
0:15:11 > 0:15:14East Anglia, and the south-east quarter generally. This is where we
0:15:14 > 0:15:18have the rain and the stronger winds, continuing to push into the
0:15:18 > 0:15:23south-east. In towards the south-west, a wet start for you as
0:15:23 > 0:15:27well, as it is across Wales. Not that he could be cold this morning,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32though, still quite blustery. -- not particularly cold. As we head into
0:15:32 > 0:15:35Northern Ireland, some dry weather for you this morning, but there
0:15:35 > 0:15:39still are some showers. That is going to change. As we head through
0:15:39 > 0:15:43the course of the day, what you will find is increasingly the snow
0:15:43 > 0:15:48showers will come down to lower levels across Scotland, and later on
0:15:48 > 0:15:52in the day into Northern Ireland. The rain pushes away from the
0:15:52 > 0:15:56south-east, with its strongest winds, but high but there will be a
0:15:56 > 0:16:00lot of blustery showers around. Already we are in the colder in the
0:16:00 > 0:16:04north of the country, hence the snow getting into lower levels, but in
0:16:04 > 0:16:08the south we are hanging on by the skin of our teeth. Through the day
0:16:08 > 0:16:11you will find that as the cold air penetrates further south the
0:16:11 > 0:16:14temperature will tend to drop. As we head through the evening and
0:16:14 > 0:16:17overnight, the snow levels increasingly getting down to lower
0:16:17 > 0:16:20levels across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. You
0:16:20 > 0:16:24could cease no further south across the south Wales and south-west
0:16:24 > 0:16:28England, but that will generally be with height. So tonight there is the
0:16:28 > 0:16:32risk of ice on untreated surfaces as well. Cold in the north, not as cold
0:16:32 > 0:16:37as we come further south. Tomorrow morning we will start to see the
0:16:37 > 0:16:40snow accumulate, especially across Scotland and Northern Ireland, but
0:16:40 > 0:16:44also to a lesser extent across northern England. Still, any snow we
0:16:44 > 0:16:49see in the south will tend to be on higher ground. But there will be a
0:16:49 > 0:16:52lot of showers around, and some of those will have hail and thunder
0:16:52 > 0:16:56embedded in them. And we are looking at strong winds and gales in the
0:16:56 > 0:17:00south-west. Still blustery day, a lot of dry weather on Wednesday, but
0:17:00 > 0:17:04you can see what is coming in the west, initially in the shape of
0:17:04 > 0:17:07rain. This is because of an area of low pressure coming our way and at
0:17:07 > 0:17:11the moment it looks like on its northern flank we could see some
0:17:11 > 0:17:15disruptive snow and on its western and southern flank we could see some
0:17:15 > 0:17:18disruptive wind. If you are travelling, that is something
0:17:18 > 0:17:21certainly to keep in touch with the weather forecast for. So loads going
0:17:21 > 0:17:26on as we enter this new working week.There really is, take
0:17:26 > 0:17:26on as we enter this new working week.There really is, take care. We
0:17:26 > 0:17:31will see you later. Let's have a look at some of the papers, and
0:17:31 > 0:17:35start with the Daily Mail, has we
0:17:35 > 0:17:35look at some of the papers, and start with the Daily Mail, has we
0:17:35 > 0:17:36will be speaking
0:17:36 > 0:17:37start with the Daily Mail, has we will be speaking to the UKIP leader,
0:17:37 > 0:17:42Mr Henry Bolton, at 6:40am this morning. He is on the front page of
0:17:42 > 0:17:46the papers with his girlfriend, and many people saying in the party he
0:17:46 > 0:17:50needs to choose between being party leader and his girlfriend, so we
0:17:50 > 0:17:57will put that question to him later on. The main story, Facebook
0:17:57 > 0:18:01peddling drugs to children on social media. The Telegraph leads with
0:18:01 > 0:18:11patients' data, the data of cancer victims given to affirm representing
0:18:11 > 0:18:16one of the world's biggest tobacco companies. I was just going to
0:18:16 > 0:18:22mention...This can be your addition, job!I will never get your
0:18:22 > 0:18:29job, you are very, very good at it. And on the front page, they are
0:18:29 > 0:18:35talking about Carillion, and I am sure Steph will give you details in
0:18:35 > 0:18:41a moment. The front page of the Times, I mentioned the flight in
0:18:41 > 0:18:45Turkey slipping down into the water. This is the picture on the front
0:18:45 > 0:18:49page of the Times this morning. Thankfully all 162 passengers
0:18:49 > 0:18:53escaped the plane fire. There was water on the runway, it slipped and
0:18:53 > 0:18:57careered down here and somehow stopped, and everybody got off
0:18:57 > 0:19:01safely. There is footage from on the plane as well. Ministers dismissed
0:19:01 > 0:19:06warnings on failing firm, again talking about Carillion on the front
0:19:06 > 0:19:12of the Times.Are you auditioning for her job now?And on the front
0:19:12 > 0:19:22page of the papers, a picture of Ant, he is getting divorced.I
0:19:22 > 0:19:26couldn't see it, I was just having a look to see what you are showing,
0:19:26 > 0:19:32thank you! What have you got there? Well, we are talking about
0:19:32 > 0:19:37Carillion, such a big deal, such a huge company. 20,000 people working
0:19:37 > 0:19:41for them. But the biggest thing is, if you think of that one company,
0:19:41 > 0:19:44there are so many supplier companies who are owed money, for example, and
0:19:44 > 0:19:48that is what the Telegraph is talking about this morning. They are
0:19:48 > 0:19:52saying that given things remain in doubt at the moment, in terms of
0:19:52 > 0:19:55what will happen for the future of Carillion, obviously it is really
0:19:55 > 0:19:58important to point out when companies are struggling with money,
0:19:58 > 0:20:03it doesn't mean everything suddenly stops. So even if Carillion goes
0:20:03 > 0:20:07into administration, there is already a company in the wings, an
0:20:07 > 0:20:11accountancy firm who are ready to take over and carry on running that
0:20:11 > 0:20:15this is. But it puts into doubt lots of different things about the supply
0:20:15 > 0:20:17companies, what will happen with their contracts, with their
0:20:17 > 0:20:21payments, with all the people who work for them. That is the issue.
0:20:21 > 0:20:23Tell me about the fun of the Financial Times.
0:20:23 > 0:20:27this is incredibly dangerous, but Lloyd's of London, you know they
0:20:27 > 0:20:31have the amazing Richard Rogers building, apparently it is really
0:20:31 > 0:20:37easy to climb.Has pipes on the outside, hasn't it?They have had 20
0:20:37 > 0:20:41people last year who managed to climb to the top and get a photo
0:20:41 > 0:20:47like this. And at the end of that crane, I would say an idiot, getting
0:20:47 > 0:20:51a picture. They spent more than £80,000 on enhanced security to try
0:20:51 > 0:20:55and stop people climbing to the top. Just a couple of bits from me on the
0:20:55 > 0:20:59sports pages. This is the start of the Australian Open in Melbourne, so
0:20:59 > 0:21:03a reminder for people who want to watch the live sport that it is
0:21:03 > 0:21:06happening down under. Roger Federer saying he really shouldn't be
0:21:06 > 0:21:10favourite at the age of 36, but unfortunately, if you are Roger
0:21:10 > 0:21:14Federer, you probably will be favourite for every tournament you
0:21:14 > 0:21:18enter until you retire. And some good news in terms of European golf
0:21:18 > 0:21:23in a Ryder Cup year. They have lifted the Eurasia cup, which is
0:21:23 > 0:21:28Europe against Asia, which as this writer in the Daily Mail points out,
0:21:28 > 0:21:32he says it is a bit like holding aloft the charity shield in a season
0:21:32 > 0:21:36when you are hoping to lift the Champions League trophy. At some
0:21:36 > 0:21:40good markers have been laid down for European golf, in what will be a
0:21:40 > 0:21:45huge year for the team ahead of the Ryder Cup. So that is a lot to look
0:21:45 > 0:21:50forward to.Shall we have a little bit of good news?Yes.This dog
0:21:50 > 0:21:57called Morse went missing, and he got stolen, he just nipped out...He
0:21:57 > 0:22:05may not have been stolen. He wasn't stolen, was the whole point, he just
0:22:05 > 0:22:09ran off.They said two people put him on the back of a van, but maybe
0:22:09 > 0:22:13they got it wrong. Anyway, he is back. That is the point of the
0:22:13 > 0:22:18story. After several weeks, £10,000 reward, he is actually back with his
0:22:18 > 0:22:25owner.Morse is a good name for a dog.That is what I was going to
0:22:25 > 0:22:30say.We will do papers later on, I will show you the UK's oldest ballet
0:22:30 > 0:22:35dancer, and I will tell you a little secret about the next series of the
0:22:35 > 0:22:36Crown.
0:22:36 > 0:22:39Since August of last year, more than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims
0:22:39 > 0:22:42have been forced to flee violence and persecution in Myanmar.
0:22:42 > 0:22:44The United Nations has described the military offensive that provoked
0:22:44 > 0:22:47the exodus as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing.
0:22:47 > 0:22:49Many have sought refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh,
0:22:49 > 0:22:51in what has become the world's largest refugee camp.
0:22:51 > 0:22:53Our South Asia correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, is there
0:22:53 > 0:22:54for us this morning.
0:22:54 > 0:23:02What are conditions like?
0:23:05 > 0:23:11Give us a look around, what is happening there this morning?Yes,
0:23:11 > 0:23:17as you say, it is absolutely huge. There are 800,000 refugees in total,
0:23:17 > 0:23:21650,000 just in this refugee camp. Take a look at this, you can see,
0:23:21 > 0:23:26very densely populated. The biggest refugee camp and also one of the
0:23:26 > 0:23:30most densely populated, and these shacks which were made when refugees
0:23:30 > 0:23:33first arrived, with simple bamboo, and covered in tarpaulins. There is
0:23:33 > 0:23:38effectively an open sewer running in the middle here, which is why
0:23:38 > 0:23:43diseases such an issue. At the moment they are battling an outbreak
0:23:43 > 0:23:46of potentially fatal diphtheria. Yesterday, or a couple of days ago,
0:23:46 > 0:23:51I should say, I went out with a team whose job it is to train track down
0:23:51 > 0:23:57people who might have been infected, and stop the disease spreading.
0:23:57 > 0:24:03This boy is category red. He has a serious diphtheria infection. This
0:24:03 > 0:24:06bacterial disease blocks the airways, and is often fatal if it
0:24:06 > 0:24:12isn't treated. It is also highly contagious. It is this Doctor's job
0:24:12 > 0:24:18to try and stop the outbreak spreading. He runs a team of
0:24:18 > 0:24:22outreach workers when a diphtheria case comes in. They work begins.
0:24:22 > 0:24:29They trek through this giant refugee camp, now the biggest in the world,
0:24:29 > 0:24:33trying to find people who might have been exposed to the disease. The
0:24:33 > 0:24:38outreach workers can see up to ten cases every day, which can mean a
0:24:38 > 0:24:45lot of walking. So the challenge for this team is to hunt down infection
0:24:45 > 0:24:56and then stamp it out. The hunt begins at the boy's home.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04begins at the boy's home. Rita and Repa need to take care. Close
0:25:04 > 0:25:08contact can be dangerous even if you have had the vaccination. Some
0:25:08 > 0:25:19members of the medical team have been infected.
0:25:19 > 0:25:22been infected. They explain how dangerous diphtheria can be, and
0:25:22 > 0:25:27give everyone in the family antibiotics. That. The disease
0:25:27 > 0:25:31developing. Anyone who has been in close contact with a patient for
0:25:31 > 0:25:38more than an hour needs to be treated. -- that will prevent the
0:25:38 > 0:25:42disease developing. How dangerous is it out here?It is not as dangerous
0:25:42 > 0:25:46for us, but it is dangerous for the Rohingya community if they were not
0:25:46 > 0:25:50vaccinated when they arrived.So what is happening now? Are you
0:25:50 > 0:25:53getting this disease under control? We hope we can control it through
0:25:53 > 0:25:57vaccination, with preventative medicine, as well as treating the
0:25:57 > 0:26:00cases.The signs are that this disease, long forgotten in countries
0:26:00 > 0:26:06where vaccinations are commonplace, is now being brought under control.
0:26:06 > 0:26:10At the hunt continues. With more than 800,000 people packed together
0:26:10 > 0:26:18in these vast refugee camps, the team can't take any chances.
0:26:18 > 0:26:24Now, what you will be wondering is how the kid you saw in that report
0:26:24 > 0:26:28is, and I am very glad to be able to say he is recovering very well. But
0:26:28 > 0:26:33disease is just one of the issues they face here in the camps. I am
0:26:33 > 0:26:36joined by Andrew Gardner of the Red Cross. What other challenges are
0:26:36 > 0:26:41there, dealing with effectively a large city which has grown up here
0:26:41 > 0:26:45in this area?Direct, without the right infrastructure and services,
0:26:45 > 0:26:49disease is a risk in the camp, given the density of the population, but
0:26:49 > 0:26:53also given how these camps are spontaneous, and people just have to
0:26:53 > 0:26:57use the available space. As you can see, most of the shelters you can
0:26:57 > 0:27:01see are actually built under the sides of hills. In the coming
0:27:01 > 0:27:04months, the rainy season will happen, and at that time, as well is
0:27:04 > 0:27:07potential for flooding, there is also potential for landslides. So
0:27:07 > 0:27:12making sure the infrastructure is right to protect people. But also we
0:27:12 > 0:27:16should as an international community not forget that the events here have
0:27:16 > 0:27:19also affected the local population here. Prior to the population
0:27:19 > 0:27:25movement there was about 300,000 people, and now there might be
0:27:25 > 0:27:28between 800,000 900,000 refugees, which number three to one on local
0:27:28 > 0:27:32population. They already are poor and have stretched services, and
0:27:32 > 0:27:37they are facing the situation as well.Thank you very much indeed.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41Huge challenges here, and we will be continuing to report from this
0:27:41 > 0:27:44refugee camp throughout the morning. Thank you very much for being with
0:27:44 > 0:27:50us this morning.
0:27:50 > 0:27:54In a moment we will get the news, travel and weather where you are,
0:27:54 > 0:27:59but you have an update.You remember we had some cricketers Torquay about
0:27:59 > 0:28:03the pod casts, and since then they have won Best broadcast in the
0:28:03 > 0:28:07country, and test new show, and Freddie Flintoff has been named best
0:28:07 > 0:28:13presenter.Is the best news presenter?No, just best presenter.
0:28:13 > 0:28:21I am wondering how the others like that. And also, 500 Words, radio
0:28:21 > 0:28:28two, and the launch of that. And we will be talking about the launch of

0:40:06 > 0:40:09World champion Mark Selby is out after losing
0:40:09 > 0:40:116-5 against former world number one, Mark Williams.
0:40:11 > 0:40:14Selby was also eliminated early in the UK Championship last month.
0:40:14 > 0:40:16Now, how about this for marital teamwork?
0:40:16 > 0:40:18England's Chris Paisley has claimed his first European Tour
0:40:18 > 0:40:21title, winning the South Africa Open, where his wife
0:40:21 > 0:40:21was his caddie..
0:40:21 > 0:40:24Paisley held off the challenge of home favourite Branden Grace
0:40:24 > 0:40:27with a round 66 to win the title by three strokes.
0:40:27 > 0:40:30A Big hug from his wife Keri, who was making
0:40:30 > 0:40:32her debut as caddie after the Englishman's regular
0:40:32 > 0:40:33bagman was on holiday.
0:40:33 > 0:40:37I think you need a certain type of marriage to survive that pressure
0:40:37 > 0:40:42together.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45together.She doesn't know much about golf but she knows me better
0:40:45 > 0:40:50than anyone. At times when she knew I was getting a bit uptight, she
0:40:50 > 0:40:57would come me down. She was just a massive this week and I can't say
0:40:57 > 0:40:59enough about it.
0:40:59 > 0:41:08It helps if you have played well. There is a lot of pressure. There is
0:41:08 > 0:41:15a mistaken someone you know very well that you can blame.He is one
0:41:15 > 0:41:22of the nicest of blokes on the tour.
0:41:22 > 0:41:32Today is the so-called blue Monday. I feel all right, actually.
0:41:32 > 0:41:33I feel all right, actually. The Christmas spending hangover can ramp
0:41:33 > 0:41:46up. Steph, you feeling blue?This is when all the credit card bills land.
0:41:46 > 0:41:57They might not feel particularly great.
0:41:57 > 0:42:05great. Nothing new, talking about debt. Paintings on credit. --
0:42:05 > 0:42:14buying. Other people, just keeping their heads above water. The BBC
0:42:14 > 0:42:19colleagues have been looking at this and a special edition of Insider.
0:42:19 > 0:42:24They spoke to a lot of people from all over the UK who stepped became
0:42:24 > 0:42:28too much.
0:42:28 > 0:42:31For me, personally, it's a generational thing. Now I'm
0:42:31 > 0:42:36struggling to pay the bills and even getting onto the property, can't
0:42:36 > 0:42:44even find a home. Paint the best deals and managing the debts, it
0:42:44 > 0:42:50seems impractical, impossible.Even though sometimes unsmiling on the
0:42:50 > 0:42:57outside, I'm not smiling on the inside but don't show it. To them.
0:42:57 > 0:43:02It's like, sometimes when I am down, yeah, I'm fine, darling, don't worry
0:43:02 > 0:43:10about money. You know? Some of my family have noticed how this is
0:43:10 > 0:43:17getting me very down and I don't sleep a lot because it's just going
0:43:17 > 0:43:26round and round in my mind all the time. Bankruptcy at the moment seems
0:43:26 > 0:43:33the best option.It was probably the worst time in my life. I hit the
0:43:33 > 0:43:37most almighty low that anybody could hit. I'm thankful that happened now.
0:43:37 > 0:43:46Lost everything, my home, my job. Everything fell apart but I am so
0:43:46 > 0:43:51pleased it did because I don't think I would be here sat talking to you
0:43:51 > 0:43:55if it hadn't. It got that bad. I was in such a mess that I almost ended
0:43:55 > 0:44:00my life.
0:44:00 > 0:44:08Joining me now is Jazmine Birtles. They have been working on the Inside
0:44:08 > 0:44:13team.
0:44:13 > 0:44:17team. People might think they have got themselves in a mess but lots of
0:44:17 > 0:44:20people, it might not necessarily be their fault. Something might have
0:44:20 > 0:44:25happened out of their control.It's an extremely common thing. As a
0:44:25 > 0:44:30nation, we are 1.5 trillion in debt. The majority of that is mortgages
0:44:30 > 0:44:36that we are over 200 billion in loans, credit cards, that kind of
0:44:36 > 0:44:40thing. It is really common. As you say, with a lot of people, it
0:44:40 > 0:44:45suddenly comes over them. Quite often, they don't really know how to
0:44:45 > 0:44:50budget. Nobody has taught us, let's be honest. Then something happens.
0:44:50 > 0:44:54Quite often, if they are on benefits, there have been problems
0:44:54 > 0:44:58with universal credit. They haven't had the money and time. Once you are
0:44:58 > 0:45:04not able to pay a bill in time, it increases. There is interest,
0:45:04 > 0:45:07charges, and then suddenly, you find yourself horribly in debt and you
0:45:07 > 0:45:12don't know what to do about it.At that point, what should you do?I
0:45:12 > 0:45:16say to people going get help immediately. Even if you think it is
0:45:16 > 0:45:22nothing, whatever, there are three debt advice charities, really good
0:45:22 > 0:45:30ones, like a step change, citizens advice. National Debt Line,
0:45:30 > 0:45:45Christians Against that make poverty -- Against Poverty.
0:45:45 > 0:45:48I had an experience lately where the payment was cancelled and it was
0:45:48 > 0:45:52handed over to the debt selection team, and when it came to sort it
0:45:52 > 0:45:56out, they said can you afford this? You are not stopping paying a
0:45:56 > 0:46:00utility bill to pay this, are you? So people are thinking quite
0:46:00 > 0:46:06differently about how are you prioritise your debt now, as well.
0:46:06 > 0:46:10Absolutely, and it is good they are doing that, because people have been
0:46:10 > 0:46:14literally not eating in order to pay bills, and quite often they are
0:46:14 > 0:46:17bills that they don't have to pay. And this is another thing you can
0:46:17 > 0:46:21get help with from these charities. There are some bills you really need
0:46:21 > 0:46:24to pay to keep a roof over your head, for example council tax.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28People don't realise that is pretty important to pay. But the credit
0:46:28 > 0:46:32card companies, although they will send you nasty letters and they seem
0:46:32 > 0:46:36scary, those ones you can actually put to the side and pay a small
0:46:36 > 0:46:40amount, just as long as you pay your gas and electricity. Those are the
0:46:40 > 0:46:45more important ones.What they do all catch up with you eventually,
0:46:45 > 0:46:49don't they?Exactly, so do catch up with them. Even if you get a friend
0:46:49 > 0:46:53around to help you go through your statements, have a look at your
0:46:53 > 0:46:57bills, get an idea of where you actually are, and then they can sit
0:46:57 > 0:47:01with you while you phone up various creditors and say I am having a
0:47:01 > 0:47:04problem. Because it is really surprising, when you phone your
0:47:04 > 0:47:09creditors, quite often they are nice. Like you say, you phone your
0:47:09 > 0:47:13insurance company and they are like, fine, we know what it is like. They
0:47:13 > 0:47:22are not always going to be like that, but often they are.And we
0:47:22 > 0:47:29will be looking at the issue of debt tonight at 7:30 p.m.. And we will be
0:47:29 > 0:47:32live at 8pm to answer your questions, details of organisations
0:47:32 > 0:47:41offering that kind of support. To have a look on their if you want to
0:47:41 > 0:47:45find out more.
0:47:45 > 0:47:48Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather,
0:47:48 > 0:47:50and she is outside BBC Broadcasting House in Central
0:47:50 > 0:47:50London.
0:47:50 > 0:47:56It is a bit blustery in places, and Carol has lots to tell us.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59It is a bit blustery in places, and Carol has lots to tell us.Good
0:47:59 > 0:48:03morning all. That's right, and if you're wondering why I'm here, I
0:48:03 > 0:48:07will tell you as we go through the morning. Something very special has
0:48:07 > 0:48:16just arrived in this piazza. Daniel was right when he said it was wet
0:48:16 > 0:48:20and windy. Follow behind with a bit of blustery showers. Wet and windy
0:48:20 > 0:48:24weather in the south-east will clear, but it will be replaced by
0:48:24 > 0:48:28blustery showers. If you are heading out ring a sturdy umbrella with you.
0:48:28 > 0:48:319am this morning shows you what is happening in Scotland. Again, a
0:48:31 > 0:48:35plethora of showers. Some of those wintry on the hills, interspersed
0:48:35 > 0:48:40with some brighter skies. Cold air is already in Scotland, and that
0:48:40 > 0:48:44will fill south as we go through the course of the day. For many of us
0:48:44 > 0:48:47the highest Bridge will be this morning. It will actually drop as we
0:48:47 > 0:48:51head into the afternoon. Moving across England there are a lot of
0:48:51 > 0:48:55showers, some of them merging, some of them blustery as well. The
0:48:55 > 0:48:57strongest winds are across the south-eastern quarter. Here we have
0:48:57 > 0:49:00the heaviest rain. That will continue to drift off into southern
0:49:00 > 0:49:04parts of the North Sea and the near continent as we go through the
0:49:04 > 0:49:09morning. For the south-west it is a wet start for you. Not cold, though.
0:49:09 > 0:49:14In Plymouth 11, they are already 11 in St Marys. 10 Celsius in Cardiff,
0:49:14 > 0:49:18where it is pretty wet to start the day. For Northern Ireland the rain
0:49:18 > 0:49:22has already cleared and you are in a mixture of bright spells and
0:49:22 > 0:49:26showers. As we go through the day and the temperature drops,
0:49:26 > 0:49:29increasingly across Scotland you will see some of the snow falling at
0:49:29 > 0:49:32lower levels. Later in the day we will see that happen across Northern
0:49:32 > 0:49:36Ireland. Tonight it will be northern England's turn. But through the day,
0:49:36 > 0:49:40for much of England and Wales, it will be rain showers you have, and
0:49:40 > 0:49:45blustery. Cooler in the north, not as cold as we come further south.
0:49:45 > 0:49:48Through the evening and overnight, the snow will continue to fall
0:49:48 > 0:49:51across Scotland and Northern Ireland at lower levels, and also
0:49:51 > 0:49:55increasingly northern England at lower levels. We will see some snow
0:49:55 > 0:49:59showers as well across South Wales, and also the Moors in the
0:49:59 > 0:50:02south-west, but most of those will be in the hills. And we are looking
0:50:02 > 0:50:06at rain showers elsewhere, some with a little bit of hail mixed in. A
0:50:06 > 0:50:10cold night in the north with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces.
0:50:10 > 0:50:14Not as cold as we come further south. The Tuesday morning, again we
0:50:14 > 0:50:18will have this in the northern half of the country, and through the day
0:50:18 > 0:50:22it will continue to fall. So we will start to see some accumulations. The
0:50:22 > 0:50:25most will be across Scotland and Northern Ireland, though we could
0:50:25 > 0:50:29have zero to three centimetres in the north of England. In the south,
0:50:29 > 0:50:33a lot of showers around, some of those wintry in nature. Most will be
0:50:33 > 0:50:38of rain, and we will have some hail and thunder thrown in as well.
0:50:38 > 0:50:42Wednesday a quieter day, at rain coming in from the west. That is an
0:50:42 > 0:50:46area of low pressure coming our way. Keep tuned to this, because it could
0:50:46 > 0:50:50be disruptive. It is likely to have some snow on it northern flank and
0:50:50 > 0:50:53on its western and southern flank we could well have some disruptive
0:50:53 > 0:50:57winds. So at the moment, well, it is kind of quiet. Just a bit wet and
0:50:57 > 0:51:02windy, but some of us will see snow as it turns colder this week.We
0:51:02 > 0:51:11look forward to your announcement a little bit later on.
0:51:11 > 0:51:15The UKIP leader is facing pressure to resign after his girlfriend made
0:51:15 > 0:51:21offensive comments, including racist remarks about twins Harry's fiancee,
0:51:21 > 0:51:28Meghan Markle. Mr Bolton joins us now. Thank you very much for coming
0:51:28 > 0:51:32on BBC Breakfast and talking about this. Good morning to you. I am sure
0:51:32 > 0:51:36you have had a look at some of the front pages of the papers. Your
0:51:36 > 0:51:39party are in those headlines calling for you to choose between your
0:51:39 > 0:51:43girlfriend and your future as party leader. So what decision have you
0:51:43 > 0:51:43come to?
0:51:43 > 0:51:45leader. So what decision have you come to?We have together made the
0:51:45 > 0:51:49decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end. She
0:51:49 > 0:51:55is utterly distraught, close to breakdown, of this. She never
0:51:55 > 0:52:00intended these comments to ever be made public. They were made sometime
0:52:00 > 0:52:07ago, and indeed, although utterly indefensible, there is some context
0:52:07 > 0:52:15to them, which in time will be revealed. But the fact is that I am
0:52:15 > 0:52:19going to be supporting her family and supporting her in rebuilding her
0:52:19 > 0:52:24life going forward.You say they are indefensible and talk about that
0:52:24 > 0:52:29context, why can't you explain the context now? To explain the context,
0:52:29 > 0:52:32she was talking about the fact that Meghan Markle could take the Royal
0:52:32 > 0:52:36Family, you said she had a tiny brain, and that this was Britain and
0:52:36 > 0:52:40not Africa. What is the context around those comments?In that
0:52:40 > 0:52:46particular case, there is no context that defends or justifies the
0:52:46 > 0:52:50comments that were made. And I was as appalled and shocked as anybody
0:52:50 > 0:52:55else when I saw them first. Some of the other comments she has made do
0:52:55 > 0:53:01have a context, and indeed, there are elements of that which at the
0:53:01 > 0:53:05appropriate time we will explain what they are.I understand this
0:53:05 > 0:53:09obviously has been a difficult decision for you to come to, and you
0:53:09 > 0:53:13have been discussing this with her over the weekend, do you think this
0:53:13 > 0:53:17saves your position as party leader of UKIP, then? What sort of work do
0:53:17 > 0:53:21you have to do now?The important work now is indeed ongoing. It is
0:53:21 > 0:53:26work which has already started, which is to create a solid
0:53:26 > 0:53:29administrative, financial, logistical planning base for the
0:53:29 > 0:53:33party, so we can actually protect ourselves going forward. And I said
0:53:33 > 0:53:38a couple of days ago that what we want to see was a coming together or
0:53:38 > 0:53:42co-ordination of the different leave campaigns, and a mobilisation to
0:53:42 > 0:53:46ensure we have the government delivering the mandate they were
0:53:46 > 0:53:53given on 23 June 20 16. That is the core task.The problem is it is hard
0:53:53 > 0:53:56for people to think about policy, because the headlines have been
0:53:56 > 0:54:01dominated by what has been happening to you. Now, in terms of your future
0:54:01 > 0:54:08as party leader, you ran a campaign to be party leader based in you
0:54:08 > 0:54:13being a happily married man.I dispute that, I was married, I still
0:54:13 > 0:54:17am married.But you did make that part of your campaign, and you then
0:54:17 > 0:54:20enter that relationship with your wife. Did you not use the fact that
0:54:20 > 0:54:24you were married as a part of that campaign? Are you denying that?I
0:54:24 > 0:54:28was asked whether I was married and whether I had children, and I said
0:54:28 > 0:54:35yes. I didn't make a big issue or song and dance about it. The fact is
0:54:35 > 0:54:38I was married, I still am married. Obviously there are things in my
0:54:38 > 0:54:42personal life now and there have been since before Christmas that I
0:54:42 > 0:54:46need to address. But I didn't make that a central plank in any way of
0:54:46 > 0:54:49my campaign. My campaign was about getting the party on its feet,
0:54:49 > 0:54:52sorting out it internal organisations, so that we can
0:54:52 > 0:54:57deliver effective politics. And that is what I was consistently saying.
0:54:57 > 0:55:01Can you understand why people would look at you this morning and over
0:55:01 > 0:55:04the weekend and question your trust and judgement? And not just people
0:55:04 > 0:55:09who may have voted UKIP in the past, whom I consider voting UKIP in the
0:55:09 > 0:55:13future, but people inside your own party. To quote your own people, one
0:55:13 > 0:55:19near UKIP activist says you must go before you destroy the party.
0:55:19 > 0:55:23Another says there is scandal on top of scandal on top of scandal with
0:55:23 > 0:55:26the leadership. And Bill Etheridge says go now, go quietly, and leave
0:55:26 > 0:55:31us to deal with what is left. Because you are naive political
0:55:31 > 0:55:35lightweight. These are people in your own party.Yes, indeed, and in
0:55:35 > 0:55:40fact two of the names you mentioned were part of the leadership contest
0:55:40 > 0:55:43themselves, and still have aspirations in that direction. I
0:55:43 > 0:55:47would suggest that those two individuals, Mr Walker and Mr
0:55:47 > 0:55:49Etheridge, should actually start working towards the betterment of
0:55:49 > 0:55:56the party itself, working as part of a team, rather than coming up with
0:55:56 > 0:55:59divisive and self-interested comments. The point at the moment is
0:55:59 > 0:56:02that we have got to work together. If we fail to work together, then
0:56:02 > 0:56:06indeed the party will fail to go forward. And right from the
0:56:06 > 0:56:11beginning, both of those individuals have been following their own path.
0:56:11 > 0:56:18How can you paint a picture of a successful future for UKIP when it
0:56:18 > 0:56:23is all about politics and what is happening with you at the moment. In
0:56:23 > 0:56:26the last election you lost 3.4 million voters compared to what you
0:56:26 > 0:56:33got in 2015. Does the party have an actual future?Absolutely it does.
0:56:33 > 0:56:36We are moving steadily back up in the polls. One of the problems for
0:56:36 > 0:56:40the party was in total organisation, problems with internal
0:56:40 > 0:56:44communications, funding and so on, and campaign planning. These are all
0:56:44 > 0:56:48things which for the last three months I have been working hard on
0:56:48 > 0:56:51sorting out. And in the coming two months or so, those things will
0:56:51 > 0:56:56start to emerge more publicly, and you will see the impact of what I
0:56:56 > 0:57:01have been doing. So this doesn't... You don't turn around a political
0:57:01 > 0:57:05party overnight. It takes a bit of time. So indeed, there is a fine
0:57:05 > 0:57:10future. And indeed, the political context at the moment is that the
0:57:10 > 0:57:13British government at the moment is not delivering on an effective exit
0:57:13 > 0:57:18of the European Union. There is no clear vision, there are no clear
0:57:18 > 0:57:21objectives, and the 16 position papers they have put to Brussels
0:57:21 > 0:57:25art... I would call them vacuous, they are very vague statements of
0:57:25 > 0:57:29intent rather than providing a negotiating base. It is a total
0:57:29 > 0:57:33failure back, and somebody needs to be holding the government to account
0:57:33 > 0:57:35and getting them moving, getting the planning actually mobilised, which
0:57:35 > 0:57:39they have failed to do themselves. Before we let you go, you told us
0:57:39 > 0:57:42that you have entered your relationship with your girlfriend,
0:57:42 > 0:57:51Jo Marnie, and she has ended her relationship with the party.She has
0:57:51 > 0:57:55in my view quite rightly been suspended, pending the establishment
0:57:55 > 0:58:00of a board to look into the case -- Jo Marney. And that board will be
0:58:00 > 0:58:05convened under the chairmanship of the director-general of the party.
0:58:05 > 0:58:08They will make whatever decision they come to and I will support that
0:58:08 > 0:58:13decision, whatever it is.Henry Bolton, leader of the UKIP party,
0:58:13 > 1:01:34thank

1:01:56 > 1:01:57liquidation.
1:01:57 > 1:02:00I'll be looking at what it means for the 20,000 UK workers
1:02:00 > 1:02:08and projects like HS2.
1:02:16 > 1:02:17Good morning, it's Monday 15th January.
1:02:17 > 1:02:18Also this morning -
1:02:18 > 1:02:21Under pressure - UKIP leader, Henry Bolton, faces calls to quit,
1:02:21 > 1:02:23after his girlfriend made racist remarks
1:02:23 > 1:02:31about Prince Harry's fiancee.
1:02:36 > 1:02:40We have both made the agreement that the romantic element of our
1:02:40 > 1:02:44relationship should end. She is close to breakdown over all of this.
1:02:44 > 1:02:46Inside the world's largest refugee camp in Bangladesh,
1:02:46 > 1:02:48where hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees have fled
1:02:48 > 1:02:51violence in Myanmar.
1:02:51 > 1:02:53In sport - its Giggs for Wales.
1:02:53 > 1:02:56The Manchester United legend will be named the new national coach later -
1:02:56 > 1:02:58replacing Chris Coleman.
1:02:58 > 1:03:04And Carol has the weather.
1:03:04 > 1:03:11Morning. We are outside the BBC in London it has been wet. We have
1:03:11 > 1:03:16gusty winds moving across the south-western quarter. We have
1:03:16 > 1:03:26blustery showers following on. More details in 15 minutes.
1:03:26 > 1:03:32Carroll, thank you, we can see that it is windy.
1:03:32 > 1:03:35Last bid talks to secure a rescue package for construction firm
1:03:35 > 1:03:36Carillion have failed -
1:03:36 > 1:03:39and in the last few minutes it's been announced the company
1:03:39 > 1:03:40is entering liquidation.
1:03:40 > 1:03:42Carillion - which is involved in projects including HS2
1:03:42 > 1:03:45and crossrail - has 900-million pounds worth of debts.
1:03:45 > 1:03:46Steph's here with more.
1:03:46 > 1:03:54How did Carillion get into this situation?
1:03:56 > 1:04:02They run so many different types of projects. They are building lots of
1:04:02 > 1:04:06things like the Royal Liverpool Hospital, the Aberdeen pass. They
1:04:06 > 1:04:13are also doing a lot of maintenance and facilities across the public.
1:04:13 > 1:04:20They serve 36,000 school dinners every single day. A big portfolio.
1:04:20 > 1:04:26The company is now what is called compulsory liquidation. That means
1:04:26 > 1:04:31the company is now going to be wound up. They are going to sell off the
1:04:31 > 1:04:36assets in order to be able to recoup some of the money they owe the banks
1:04:36 > 1:04:39and the rest of the creditors. This is a company that has really
1:04:39 > 1:04:45struggled with a huge debt pile. They have £900 million worth of debt
1:04:45 > 1:04:53and on top of that, a huge deficit of nearly half a billion. --A huge
1:04:53 > 1:04:57pension deficit. There has been a cash flow problem. Now it is the
1:04:57 > 1:05:05case of the banks and the people owed money wants their money. That
1:05:05 > 1:05:11is when the company is being liquidated.Administration would
1:05:11 > 1:05:22have seen them continue.With administration, a company will come
1:05:22 > 1:05:27in, Ernst and Young, for example, they will try and run the business
1:05:27 > 1:05:32as is and trains sell it. Liquidation is where it is literally
1:05:32 > 1:05:36wound up and they have to sell off their bit as fast as they can in
1:05:36 > 1:05:40order to get the money back. What it means in the short-term for everyone
1:05:40 > 1:05:44who is now thinking, hang on a minute, what about all of these
1:05:44 > 1:05:47things they run, we have been told that the government will be
1:05:47 > 1:05:54providing the necessary funding required by the official receiver to
1:05:54 > 1:06:02maintain the public services carried out by Carillion.
1:06:02 > 1:06:05out by Carillion. Subcontractors and suppliers. It is a case of now the
1:06:05 > 1:06:08management will be completely different in terms of how they run
1:06:08 > 1:06:12this and clearly the priority for them, the government needs to make
1:06:12 > 1:06:15sure the public services still happen.You talk about the size of
1:06:15 > 1:06:25the problem, we will be talking to union Westminster. It will be
1:06:25 > 1:06:31injured in to hear about the political implication. -- Ian in
1:06:31 > 1:06:39Westminster.Huge news. Bury bad news for those who work for
1:06:39 > 1:06:44Carillion but I think they will be political implications. Labour is
1:06:44 > 1:06:49ramping up pressure on the government. -- very bad news. Why
1:06:49 > 1:07:00had they awarded the rail link to Carillion after the warnings. They
1:07:00 > 1:07:04had taken a huge diet and why would the government either not engaging,
1:07:04 > 1:07:08as they would see it, with Carillion, or doing in fact the
1:07:08 > 1:07:12opposite and awarding contracts to a company that was in trouble. There
1:07:12 > 1:07:20is also across party company of MPs, the Conservative MP Ben Jenkin, he
1:07:20 > 1:07:23says his public administration will want to look into this issue as
1:07:23 > 1:07:29well. Issues for the government and the very top of management of
1:07:29 > 1:07:35Carillion to answer as to why they have reached this situation of going
1:07:35 > 1:07:39into liquidation, compulsory liquidation. A very serious move.
1:07:39 > 1:07:42Will be those questions to the shadow business secretary on BBC
1:07:42 > 1:07:43breakfast this morning.
1:07:43 > 1:07:46There's mounting pressure this morning on the UKIP leader,
1:07:46 > 1:07:47Henry Bolton, to resign.
1:07:47 > 1:07:49It's after his girlfriend, Jo Marney, was suspended
1:07:49 > 1:07:52from the party for making racist remarks about Prince Harry's
1:07:52 > 1:07:53fiancee, Meghan Markle.
1:07:53 > 1:07:55Our political correspondent, Iain Watson, joins us from
1:07:55 > 1:07:55Westminster.
1:07:55 > 1:08:03Iain, is Mr Bolton likely to stand down?
1:08:09 > 1:08:16He was told he had to make a choice at between his job and his
1:08:16 > 1:08:20girlfriend. Don't forget what she was accused of, racist comments
1:08:20 > 1:08:25including suggesting that Meghan Markle would taint the Royal family.
1:08:25 > 1:08:31Further disparaging comments. Effectively, she apologised for the
1:08:31 > 1:08:34reckless comments but they were taken out of context. Nonetheless,
1:08:34 > 1:08:41in the past few minutes, Bolton told this programme...We have together
1:08:41 > 1:08:44made the decision that the romantic element of our relationship should
1:08:44 > 1:08:50end. She is utterly distraught, close to breakdown, over all of
1:08:50 > 1:08:54this. She never intended these comments to ever be made public.
1:08:54 > 1:09:01They were made ago. Indeed, although utterly indefensible, there is some
1:09:01 > 1:09:09context to them. -- they were made some time ago. In time, they will be
1:09:09 > 1:09:14revealed. I will be supporting her family and supporting her and
1:09:14 > 1:09:22rebuilding her life going forward. Element he said he will help her
1:09:22 > 1:09:30rebuild her life.-- he said he will help her. It suggests he has
1:09:30 > 1:09:36sympathy for Jo Marney rather than condemnation. He was elected back in
1:09:36 > 1:09:41September as the leader of UKIP. Nonetheless, the pressure of him to
1:09:41 > 1:09:48go -- for him to go will be there still. Two former leadership
1:09:48 > 1:09:53candidates are saying it is just scandal after scandal with Henry
1:09:53 > 1:10:00Bolton. The people of UKIP want him to end their political relationship
1:10:00 > 1:10:05with them.
1:10:05 > 1:10:08We know that Carillion has gone into liquidation and we will be speaking
1:10:08 > 1:10:10to the shadow business secretary coming up.
1:10:10 > 1:10:14The government is being urged to drop its target of reducing net
1:10:14 > 1:10:16migration to the "tens of thousands" a year,
1:10:16 > 1:10:18because MPs say it "undermines" trust in the state's ability
1:10:18 > 1:10:19to control immigration.
1:10:19 > 1:10:23A report from the home affairs Committee also warns that a lack
1:10:23 > 1:10:26of official data has allowed anxiety over the number of people
1:10:26 > 1:10:28illegally living in the UK to grow "unchecked".
1:10:28 > 1:10:36Our home affairs correspondent, Danny Shaw, has more.
1:10:40 > 1:10:43-- President Trump has denied being a racist -
1:10:43 > 1:10:46as a row continues over offensive language he allegedly used
1:10:46 > 1:10:47to describe immigrants from Haiti and Africa.
1:10:47 > 1:10:50He is accused of using the word during a private
1:10:50 > 1:10:52meeting on immigration in the White House.
1:10:52 > 1:10:55In his first direct response to accusations of racism,
1:10:55 > 1:10:57Donald Trump told reporters he had not made the comments.
1:11:03 > 1:11:07Will bring you the clever bit later in the programme.
1:11:07 > 1:11:10A leading charity is claiming thousands of parents in England
1:11:10 > 1:11:12are struggling to pay nursery fees, because of problems accessing
1:11:12 > 1:11:13a government website.
1:11:13 > 1:11:16The Pre-school Learning Alliance says glitches on the HMRC
1:11:16 > 1:11:19site mean some parents are missing out on their right to 30 hours free
1:11:19 > 1:11:21childcare or tax breaks.
1:11:21 > 1:11:24But the government says fewer than 2% of parents who have opened
1:11:24 > 1:11:32accounts had encountered problems.
1:11:32 > 1:11:36If you have a fear of flying you might want to look away now.
1:11:36 > 1:11:44These are the incredible pictures of the aftermath
1:11:45 > 1:11:47of an incident at an airport in Turkey.
1:11:47 > 1:11:49Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7 lost control, before skidding off
1:11:49 > 1:11:53the runway, plunging over a cliff and coming to rest just before
1:11:53 > 1:11:53hitting the sea.
1:11:53 > 1:11:56Pictures taken from inside the plane have also
1:11:56 > 1:11:59emerged - giving us an insight into the reaction of passengers
1:11:59 > 1:11:59inside the aircraft.
1:11:59 > 1:12:02Incredibly, all of the 168 passengers and crew
1:12:02 > 1:12:10escaped without injury.
1:12:13 > 1:12:19Banks have been with us this morning. Plenty of breaking news on
1:12:19 > 1:12:26Breakfast this morning.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29As we've just been hearing, last ditch attempts to save one
1:12:29 > 1:12:30of Britain's biggest construction firms,
1:12:30 > 1:12:31Carillion, have failed.
1:12:31 > 1:12:34In the last half hour, the company has revealed it has no
1:12:34 > 1:12:37choice but to take steps to enter into liquidation with immediate
1:12:37 > 1:12:38effect.
1:12:38 > 1:12:40Carillion was involved in projects including HS2
1:12:40 > 1:12:42and crossrail and directly employed more than 20,000,
1:12:42 > 1:12:43with many more on contracts.
1:12:43 > 1:12:46Joining us now is the Shadow Buisness Secretary, Rebecca
1:12:46 > 1:12:49Long-Bailey.
1:12:49 > 1:12:54It has gone into liquidation, it has a huge amount of employees and
1:12:54 > 1:12:58obviously big projects ongoing. What, for you, is the priority this
1:12:58 > 1:13:02moment?It is extremely worrying and there will be a lot of workers this
1:13:02 > 1:13:06morning worrying about their future and not to mention the companies in
1:13:06 > 1:13:10the supply chain of those relying on the company's pension fund. The
1:13:10 > 1:13:14company must act quickly. We have been asking them to step in and take
1:13:14 > 1:13:27these contracts back into public control so there is no delay in the
1:13:27 > 1:13:30provision of any particular services. We are also asking for a
1:13:30 > 1:13:33full investigation into the government's conduct of this matter.
1:13:33 > 1:13:36This company issued three profit warnings in the last six months and
1:13:36 > 1:13:38yet, despite those warnings, the government continued to grant
1:13:38 > 1:13:41contracts to this company. This completely contravenes policy. The
1:13:41 > 1:13:46strategic management of risks. They were entitled to deem this company
1:13:46 > 1:13:50as high risk and they didn't do this. They should have ensured that
1:13:50 > 1:13:54Crown official was appointed to deal with the company and mitigate any
1:13:54 > 1:13:57potential losses that might have occurred.Those are the questions
1:13:57 > 1:14:02that will be asked in the days to come. A stalk about today. We have a
1:14:02 > 1:14:06statement from Carillion and says, "We understand that the government
1:14:06 > 1:14:12will providing the necessary funding required to maintain public services
1:14:12 > 1:14:21carried out by Carillion and related suppliers." From what we understand,
1:14:21 > 1:14:24school meals will still happen. You'll agree what to see full
1:14:24 > 1:14:32details from the government today we expect a statement. --.We want to
1:14:32 > 1:14:37see full details.
1:14:37 > 1:14:41see full details. We don't want to see the companies that are
1:14:41 > 1:14:45profitable simply sold on and the ones that aren't cut off. We want to
1:14:45 > 1:14:49see this fully examined, in detail. By the actions of the company but
1:14:49 > 1:14:52the actions of the government itself. In the meantime, we also
1:14:52 > 1:14:56need to make sure that all of these contracts are brought back into
1:14:56 > 1:15:01public control.There is public sector contracts, private sector
1:15:01 > 1:15:05contracts. Bello we are talking about public sector contracts. -- we
1:15:05 > 1:15:09are talking about the public sector. There are some things we are not
1:15:09 > 1:15:14concerned with. All of the government contracts that Carillion
1:15:14 > 1:15:23holds.Are you concerned, for example, about the funding of all of
1:15:23 > 1:15:28this?I have quite a lot of concerns about that. We want to see exactly
1:15:28 > 1:15:31what is being put on the table, make sure that the British taxpayer is
1:15:31 > 1:15:35not going to lose out by the actions of the government and this company,
1:15:35 > 1:15:39and we need a full plan going forward not just about dealing with
1:15:39 > 1:15:42the issues today, of making sure there is a seamless provision of
1:15:42 > 1:15:51service. We want to find out why this happened.
1:15:51 > 1:15:54this happened. Why did the government not act when profit
1:15:54 > 1:15:57warnings were issued? Why have they chosen to wait until the 11th hour
1:15:57 > 1:16:01to step in and try and remediate any potential losses that might be
1:16:01 > 1:16:04incurred.One of the reasons, and there will be obviously a myriad of
1:16:04 > 1:16:08reasons, and we will discover all of these. Part of the reason why
1:16:08 > 1:16:11Carillion have been in trouble is down to PFI, private finance
1:16:11 > 1:16:14initiatives. So many of those were rolled out during a Labour
1:16:14 > 1:16:17government. Do you in some ways feel responsible?Well, it has been eight
1:16:17 > 1:16:20years since we had a Labour government in power, and there have
1:16:20 > 1:16:24been a lot of lessons learnt across all political parties about PFI, it
1:16:24 > 1:16:28simply doesn't work. When you have contracts such as one in Bristol
1:16:28 > 1:16:33when the school was charged £8,000 for a blind, we know this isn't a
1:16:33 > 1:16:36system that works.So you are admitting that PFI, in your view it
1:16:36 > 1:16:42was wrong to do that.I don't agree with PFI at all, I don't think it
1:16:42 > 1:16:47was the delivery method that should have been used, and I understand at
1:16:47 > 1:16:51the time it was used it was supposed to mitigate the risk to the public
1:16:51 > 1:16:55sector, but that is not what has happened in practice. We need to
1:16:55 > 1:16:58recognise that and we need a new method to provide these public
1:16:58 > 1:17:02infrastructure schemes, and also a stake. Iron it is a worrying time
1:17:02 > 1:17:05for all those people watching Breakfast this morning who in some
1:17:05 > 1:17:10part work for or supply Carillion. What can you do to help reassure
1:17:10 > 1:17:14them that they will be... This will be sorted out? Well, the government
1:17:14 > 1:17:18has to step in immediately. That is the crucial factor here that needs
1:17:18 > 1:17:23to be put into place today. That will give reassurance to workers
1:17:23 > 1:17:25that they will be transferred across into potential government
1:17:25 > 1:17:29institutions which will provide these services. It will also give
1:17:29 > 1:17:34comfort to those companies in the supply chain who rely on Carillion.
1:17:34 > 1:17:38Thank you very much for being here, and we will of course be putting in
1:17:38 > 1:17:42calls as well to the government to get a response. Thank you very much
1:17:42 > 1:17:46for your time. That is our lead story this morning.
1:17:46 > 1:17:48Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather,
1:17:48 > 1:17:51and she is outside BBC Broadcasting House, in Central
1:17:51 > 1:17:51London.
1:17:51 > 1:17:55When are you going to reveal this big secret? Is it later on, after
1:17:55 > 1:18:00eight a.m.?That's right, at 8am we have something very exciting in the
1:18:00 > 1:18:11Alps with us, but all will be revealed. --
1:18:12 > 1:18:16revealed. -- Piazza. Some of us will cease no, even at lower levels, and
1:18:16 > 1:18:20the wind will strengthen. If we focus on today first of all, rain
1:18:20 > 1:18:24across the south-east with gusty winds. That will clear, and then all
1:18:24 > 1:18:28of us are looking at blustery showers. Some wintry this morning.
1:18:28 > 1:18:31Increasingly through the day, as temperatures dropped, we will see
1:18:31 > 1:18:35that at lower levels. We start the forecast at 9am in Scotland. You can
1:18:35 > 1:18:40see where we have the showers, at this stage the winter in is in the
1:18:40 > 1:18:43hills. Some dry and bright conditions, and into northern
1:18:43 > 1:18:47England we are back in the showers. Showers through the Midlands, some
1:18:47 > 1:18:51of those merging, and from East Anglia in towards the south-eastern
1:18:51 > 1:18:53quarter generally, this is where we have the
1:18:53 > 1:18:55quarter generally, this is where we have the heaviest rain continuing to
1:18:55 > 1:18:58push towards the south-east, eventually clearing, accompanied by
1:18:58 > 1:19:03gusty winds. In southern counties generally we are looking at a wet
1:19:03 > 1:19:07start to the day. There are some showers, some of those heavy. 11 in
1:19:07 > 1:19:11Plymouth by 9am, so not particular cold. Ten in Cardiff, and across
1:19:11 > 1:19:17much of Wales again it is a wet start for you. We are looking at
1:19:17 > 1:19:20showers, but some of them merging. Northern Ireland, the rain has
1:19:20 > 1:19:23cleared you, so you will have a mixture of bright spells and some
1:19:23 > 1:19:27showers. Through the course of the day, the cold air already in
1:19:27 > 1:19:31Scotland starts to sink a bit further south. The wintry showers in
1:19:31 > 1:19:34Scotland increasingly getting to lower levels. They are showers, so
1:19:34 > 1:19:39not all of us will see them. The rain clears away from the south-east
1:19:39 > 1:19:42and for England, Wales and Northern Ireland we are looking at Leicester
1:19:42 > 1:19:46is showers. Later in the day we will see some wintriness getting down to
1:19:46 > 1:19:49lower levels in Northern Ireland as well. Temperatures colder in the
1:19:49 > 1:19:53north but not as cold in the south. Through the evening and the
1:19:53 > 1:19:56overnight period, we continue with snow at lower levels in parts of
1:19:56 > 1:19:59Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. Light windy as
1:19:59 > 1:20:03well. Further south there will be some wintriness in the forecast for
1:20:03 > 1:20:06south Wales, the moors of the south-west, but the wintriness will
1:20:06 > 1:20:10tend to be a height at lower levels. We are looking at showers and
1:20:10 > 1:20:15perhaps some hail in there. The risk of ice with lower temperatures in
1:20:15 > 1:20:19the north, not as cold further south but it will feel cold. Tuesday, we
1:20:19 > 1:20:22are starting to see the snow accumulates across northern England,
1:20:22 > 1:20:27Northern Ireland and Scotland. Snow showers almost anywhere, but as we
1:20:27 > 1:20:32come further south most of them will be in the hills, and we are looking
1:20:32 > 1:20:36at some hail and some thunder, the colder air filtering further south.
1:20:36 > 1:20:42That leads us into Wednesday, where it is a quieter day. A lot of dry
1:20:42 > 1:20:45weather, with a few showers, but rain coming in from the west. That
1:20:45 > 1:20:50is an area of low pressure. At this stage it is looking quite potent. It
1:20:50 > 1:20:54may bring some disruptive weather. In the north we could see some snow,
1:20:54 > 1:20:58in the west in the south we could see some very strong winds. If you
1:20:58 > 1:21:01are travelling Wednesday into Thursday, keep in touch with the
1:21:01 > 1:21:12weather forecast.We have been warned, thank you very much indeed.
1:21:12 > 1:21:14Since August of last year, more than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims
1:21:14 > 1:21:17have been forced to flee violence and persecution in Myanmar.
1:21:17 > 1:21:20The United Nations has described the military offensive that provoked
1:21:20 > 1:21:22the exodus as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing.
1:21:22 > 1:21:24Many have sought refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh,
1:21:24 > 1:21:24Many have sought refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh,
1:21:24 > 1:21:27in what has become the world's largest refugee camp.
1:21:27 > 1:21:29Our South Asia correspondent Justin Rowlatt is there
1:21:29 > 1:21:33for us this morning.
1:21:33 > 1:21:37Justin, we can see what conditions are like in some ways, but tell us
1:21:37 > 1:21:43what you have been finding.Yes, there are 800,000 people packed in
1:21:43 > 1:21:48to the refugee camps just in this area, and you can get an idea of
1:21:48 > 1:21:51what life is like for them, just looking at the scene we see here.
1:21:51 > 1:21:56Take a look at this. Down in the middle, you can see the pump in the
1:21:56 > 1:21:59middle and what is effectively an open sewer running through the lane.
1:21:59 > 1:22:02At the houses. These houses were built the refugees when they first
1:22:02 > 1:22:07arrived here. They are made out of bamboo and tarpaulin. Very
1:22:07 > 1:22:11rudimentary, and in just a couple of months the first cyclones are meant
1:22:11 > 1:22:15to come in, the beginning of the rainy season which comes in the
1:22:15 > 1:22:19summer. So these are very vulnerable, and these densely packed
1:22:19 > 1:22:22communities explain why disease is spreading through these communities.
1:22:22 > 1:22:26At the moment they are battling an outbreak of deadly diphtheria. A
1:22:26 > 1:22:31couple of days ago I was out with outreach workers whose job it was to
1:22:31 > 1:22:34try and find people who might be infected, and stop this outbreak
1:22:34 > 1:22:38spreading.
1:22:38 > 1:22:39Yassim is category red.
1:22:39 > 1:22:41He has a serious diphtheria infection.
1:22:41 > 1:22:44This bacterial disease blocks the airways, and is often fatal
1:22:44 > 1:22:45if it isn't treated.
1:22:45 > 1:22:53It is also highly contagious.
1:22:53 > 1:22:57It is Dr Haldar's job to try and stop the outbreak spreading.
1:22:57 > 1:22:59He runs a team of outreach workers.
1:22:59 > 1:23:02When a diphtheria case comes in, their work begins.
1:23:02 > 1:23:05They trek through this giant refugee camp, now the biggest in the world,
1:23:05 > 1:23:09trying to find people who might have been exposed to the disease.
1:23:09 > 1:23:13The outreach workers can see up to ten cases every day,
1:23:13 > 1:23:20which can mean a lot of walking.
1:23:20 > 1:23:23So the challenge for this team is to hunt down infection,
1:23:23 > 1:23:28and then stamp it out.
1:23:28 > 1:23:34The hunt begins at Yassim's home.
1:23:34 > 1:23:36Rita and Repa need to take care.
1:23:36 > 1:23:38Close contact can be dangerous, even if you have
1:23:38 > 1:23:43had the vaccination.
1:23:43 > 1:23:51Some members of the medical team have been infected.
1:23:53 > 1:23:58They explain how dangerous diphtheria can be, and give everyone
1:23:58 > 1:24:02in the family antibiotics.
1:24:02 > 1:24:05That will stop the disease developing.
1:24:05 > 1:24:09Anyone who has been in close contact with a patient for more than an hour
1:24:09 > 1:24:17needs to be treated.
1:24:20 > 1:24:23Well, listen, how dangerous is it for us, just sitting out here?
1:24:23 > 1:24:27It's not as dangerous for us, but it's dangerous for the Rohingya
1:24:27 > 1:24:29community, if they were not vaccinated when they arrived.
1:24:29 > 1:24:30So what is happening now?
1:24:30 > 1:24:32Are you getting this disease under control?
1:24:32 > 1:24:35We hope that we can control it through vaccination,
1:24:35 > 1:24:38with preventative medicine, as well as with treating the cases.
1:24:38 > 1:24:40The signs are that this disease, long forgotten in countries
1:24:40 > 1:24:43where vaccination is commonplace, is now being brought under control.
1:24:43 > 1:24:44But the hunt continues.
1:24:44 > 1:24:47With more than 800,000 people packed together in these vast refugee
1:24:47 > 1:24:55camps, the team can't take any chances.
1:25:00 > 1:25:06So I am sure you will be wondering how Yassim, the boy we featured at
1:25:06 > 1:25:11the beginning of the report, is, and I am pleased to say he is doing very
1:25:11 > 1:25:15well. I am joined by a representative from the UNHCR. What
1:25:15 > 1:25:21challenges are there for refugees living in these huge camps?Well,
1:25:21 > 1:25:25what the refugees tell us if they want what we want. They want to be
1:25:25 > 1:25:28safe and secure, they want their children to be safe and secure. They
1:25:28 > 1:25:32want health, they want to be able to cook a decent meal. Nutrition for
1:25:32 > 1:25:36their children. They want a future for their children, that they can do
1:25:36 > 1:25:39something recreational, educational, and they want to be able to support
1:25:39 > 1:25:43themselves. They are a resilient. They built these shelters, and they
1:25:43 > 1:25:47care for their elderly, and they are extremely close with each other. And
1:25:47 > 1:25:53so our priority at the UN refugee agency, UNHCR, is to build on the
1:25:53 > 1:26:00resilience and capacities by recruiting community outreach
1:26:00 > 1:26:05members, and get information on their needs and priorities.Thank
1:26:05 > 1:26:09you very much indeed, and I can endorse what she said. I have been
1:26:09 > 1:26:12here since the beginning of this crisis and the refugees really have
1:26:12 > 1:26:17shown incredible resilience. We will be reporting here throughout the day
1:26:17 > 1:26:24on the BBC.Enqueue much, thank you.
1:26:24 > 1:26:27-- thank you very much. Thank you.
1:26:27 > 1:26:29You are watching Breakfast.
1:26:29 > 1:26:33Still to come this morning:
1:26:33 > 1:26:38Strange people are watching you say hello to your dad, and you are
1:26:38 > 1:26:41thinking why are you watching us? Can we not have anything private?
1:26:41 > 1:26:44Flynn was just four years old when his dad
1:26:44 > 1:26:45was sent to prison.
1:26:45 > 1:26:48He will be here to explain what it is like to have a parent
1:26:48 > 1:26:49behind bars.
1:26:49 > 1:30:12In the next few minutes we will have more on Carillion.
1:30:12 > 1:30:14Vanessa Feltz is on BBC radio
1:30:14 > 1:30:17Vanessa Feltz is on BBC radio London and in a few minutes she is talking
1:30:17 > 1:30:21about transgender surgery, with a consultant. Goodbye for now.
1:30:21 > 1:30:24Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:30:24 > 1:30:32Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.
1:30:33 > 1:30:34One of Britain's biggest construction companies,
1:30:34 > 1:30:36Carillion, has been placed into liquidation this morning.
1:30:36 > 1:30:39Government officials had been holding talks with the firm's
1:30:39 > 1:30:42creditors throughout the weekend, but appear to have been unable
1:30:42 > 1:30:43to reach a rescue deal.
1:30:43 > 1:30:45Carillion, which was involved in many major contracts -
1:30:45 > 1:30:48including HS2 and crossrail - had 900-million pounds worth
1:30:48 > 1:30:56of debts and directly employed 20,000 workers in the UK.
1:31:00 > 1:31:02Explain the difference between liquidation and administration. The
1:31:02 > 1:31:11iMac this company will now be run by the receivers.
1:31:12 > 1:31:17the receivers. -- this company will now be run by.Banks, suppliers they
1:31:17 > 1:31:21haven't paid, that is what liquidation means. The difference
1:31:21 > 1:31:24between that and administration, in administration, the company would
1:31:24 > 1:31:29carry on as normal in the hope of selling off the business as it is.
1:31:29 > 1:31:35In this case, liquidation, they are selling it off as fast as possible.
1:31:35 > 1:31:46Element it is a huge company. --.-- it is a huge company. They are
1:31:46 > 1:31:50building things like the Royal Liverpool Hospital but also public
1:31:50 > 1:31:55sector areas. For example, they provide over 30,000 school meals
1:31:55 > 1:32:01everyday. There is loads of different areas of life. This is why
1:32:01 > 1:32:04people are so concerned. Not least because there are 20,000 people who
1:32:04 > 1:32:08work there who will now be worried about their jobs but the wider
1:32:08 > 1:32:13ripple effect. We understand from the statement put out this morning
1:32:13 > 1:32:16that the government will continue to provide those public services. It
1:32:16 > 1:32:21won't be a case to your kid won't be able to go to school this morning,
1:32:21 > 1:32:28it they won't be fed. It is the bigger picture. It is what will
1:32:28 > 1:32:35happen to the supplier now in terms of their contracts. That's what
1:32:35 > 1:32:42needs to be sorted out.We will get more information.
1:32:42 > 1:32:43Our reporter, Peter Plisner, is outside Carillion's
1:32:43 > 1:32:44headquarters in Wolverhampton.
1:32:44 > 1:32:52Peter, what happens to the workers now?
1:32:57 > 1:33:03Bello it is unclear. 400 workers based here in the headquarters. --
1:33:03 > 1:33:09it is unclear.There is 20,000 workers across the world working for
1:33:09 > 1:33:19Carillion. They -- their jobs are clearly insecure. It is the company
1:33:19 > 1:33:28that "Runs Britain". It has evolved from a construction company to a
1:33:28 > 1:33:33services company, maintaining Ministry of Defence homes, building
1:33:33 > 1:33:36and maintaining hospitals and schools and some prisons. They have
1:33:36 > 1:33:40major contracts here in the Midlands. You already mentioned
1:33:40 > 1:33:44high-speed rail. There is also a major regeneration in the centre of
1:33:44 > 1:33:48Birmingham and that is a private scheme. No doubt, the company behind
1:33:48 > 1:33:52that will need to find a new contract in the coming weeks. There
1:33:52 > 1:33:56is also a public sector scheme for a new hospital and that is what is
1:33:56 > 1:34:06known as a PFI scheme where Carillion is effectively doing it
1:34:06 > 1:34:12with their own money. It is unclear what is happening. It is a sad day
1:34:12 > 1:34:19for the construction industry and indeed, the UK.Step will be back in
1:34:19 > 1:34:28a few minutes to get us a union reaction. -- Steph. UK's second
1:34:28 > 1:34:31biggest construction company, it employed 20,000 people in this
1:34:31 > 1:34:34country, over 40,000 around the world, has gone into liquidation
1:34:34 > 1:34:34this morning, Carillion.
1:34:34 > 1:34:37UKIP's under-fire leader has told Breakfast he is no longer
1:34:37 > 1:34:40romantically involved with the woman The leader of UKIP is facing
1:34:40 > 1:34:43a growing number of calls to stand down this morning,
1:34:43 > 1:34:46after it emerged his girlfriend, Jo Marney, made racist remarks
1:34:46 > 1:34:49about Prince Harry's fiance, Meghan Markle.
1:34:49 > 1:34:52Members of his own party are among those who have called
1:34:52 > 1:34:55for his resignation and have urged Mr Bolton to leave
1:34:55 > 1:34:58"quickly" and "quietly".
1:34:58 > 1:35:02He told this programme is leadership was needed to hold this government
1:35:02 > 1:35:05to account on Brexit.
1:35:05 > 1:35:08The government is being urged to drop its target of reducing net
1:35:08 > 1:35:11migration to the "tens of thousands", because MPs warn it
1:35:11 > 1:35:13undermines trust in the state's ability to control immigration.
1:35:13 > 1:35:16A report from the home affairs Committee also warns that anxiety
1:35:16 > 1:35:20over the number of people living in the UK illegally has been
1:35:20 > 1:35:23allowed to grow "unchecked" because of a lack of official data
1:35:23 > 1:35:25on the scale of the problem.
1:35:25 > 1:35:28Police in East Yorkshire believe they've found the body of a man,
1:35:28 > 1:35:30suspected of using a crossbow to kill his neighbour.
1:35:30 > 1:35:32Officers in Humberside began searching for 56-year-old
1:35:32 > 1:35:35Anthony Lawrence, following the death of Shane Gilmer on Friday.
1:35:35 > 1:35:37His pregnant girlfriend, Laura Sugden, was also seriously
1:35:37 > 1:35:45wounded in the attack.
1:35:46 > 1:35:48A senior coroner will today deliver his conclusions
1:35:48 > 1:35:51at the second inquest into the death of the toddler,
1:35:51 > 1:35:51Poppi Worthington.
1:35:51 > 1:35:53The 13-month old was found with serious injuries
1:35:53 > 1:35:55at her home in Cumbria in 2012.
1:35:55 > 1:35:58The controversial first inquest was quashed by the High Court
1:35:58 > 1:36:06after it lasted just seven minutes and was shrouded in secrecy.
1:36:06 > 1:36:0925 minutes until Carol is going to unveil a surprise for us outside
1:36:09 > 1:36:17that broadcasting house.
1:36:17 > 1:36:24Also being unveiled today, we suspect it is going to be Ryan Giggs
1:36:24 > 1:36:31as the new Wales boss. Big issues to fill.
1:36:37 > 1:36:41fill. The hopes of Wales now, if they make it to another tournament,
1:36:41 > 1:36:46are pinned on Ryan Giggs. Many Wales fans are saying he is probably not
1:36:46 > 1:36:50the right man for the job. A mixed response to the news that he is said
1:36:50 > 1:36:54to be named manager of the Wales national side, succeeding Chris
1:36:54 > 1:36:55Coleman.
1:36:55 > 1:36:57Giggs' only managerial experience so far was four games
1:36:57 > 1:37:01in charge of Manchester United when David Moyes was sacked in 2014.
1:37:01 > 1:37:03Coleman stepped down in November, after Wales failed to qualify
1:37:03 > 1:37:10for this year's World Cup.
1:37:10 > 1:37:14After 30 games and 281 days, Manchester City's unbeaten
1:37:14 > 1:37:16Premier League run is finally over.
1:37:16 > 1:37:19They lost 4-3 to Liverpool, in an incredible match at Anfield.
1:37:19 > 1:37:21Liverpool scored three goals in eight minutes,
1:37:21 > 1:37:23to go 4-1 up in the second half.
1:37:23 > 1:37:26City did fight back, but they couldn't find an equaliser
1:37:26 > 1:37:29- they are still 15 points clear at the top of the table
1:37:29 > 1:37:37but Liverpool are celebrating a famous victory..
1:37:37 > 1:37:39It's possible that yesterday was a historical game.
1:37:39 > 1:37:44We will talk about it in 20 years when we watch back and think
1:37:44 > 1:37:47about the champion in 17-18, Man City, lost one game because it
1:37:47 > 1:37:49looks like they will not lose another one.
1:37:49 > 1:37:57Big respect for their performance and of course what we did today.
1:38:00 > 1:38:04Liverpool demanding a lot, you make a mistake, they punish you.
1:38:04 > 1:38:06With Salah, with Chamberlain so with a team with the quality,
1:38:06 > 1:38:08to run and to make fast attacks.
1:38:08 > 1:38:16Hopefully we can learn from that for the future.
1:38:18 > 1:38:21And for the first time ever Bournemouth beat Arsenal,
1:38:21 > 1:38:24coming from behind in front of their home crowd to win 2-1 -
1:38:24 > 1:38:25thanks to Jordan Ibe.
1:38:25 > 1:38:33His first goal for the club and what a time to score it.
1:38:35 > 1:38:38Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed the biggest win of his career,
1:38:38 > 1:38:41beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson in the first round of the Australian
1:38:41 > 1:38:42Open.
1:38:42 > 1:38:45He twice came from a set down and was trailing 2-0
1:38:45 > 1:38:48in the deciding set before he took the match and reached the second
1:38:48 > 1:38:50round in Melbourne for only the second time.
1:38:50 > 1:38:53He'll face Denis Istomin next.
1:38:53 > 1:38:57And there were a couple of surprises in the women's draw -
1:38:57 > 1:39:00Venus Williams and the US Open champion Sloane Stephens have both
1:39:00 > 1:39:04been knocked out in the opening round.
1:39:04 > 1:39:06Billy Vunipola is set to miss England's Six Nations campaign.
1:39:06 > 1:39:09He broke his arm playing for Saracens in their draw
1:39:09 > 1:39:10with Ospreys over the weekend.
1:39:10 > 1:39:14It was only his second game back after a long lay-off after a knee
1:39:14 > 1:39:21operation.
1:39:21 > 1:39:25There was a shock on the opening day of the UK Masters snooker event
1:39:25 > 1:39:26at Alexandra Palace.
1:39:26 > 1:39:28World champion Mark Selby is out after losing 6-5
1:39:28 > 1:39:30to the former world number one, Mark Williams.
1:39:30 > 1:39:38Selby was also eliminated early in the UK Championship last month.
1:39:40 > 1:39:43Defending champion Glen Durrant has retained his BDO World darts title
1:39:43 > 1:39:46with a dramatic win in the deciding set against Mark McGeeney.
1:39:46 > 1:39:49These were this year's top two seeds in the competition.
1:39:49 > 1:39:51McGeeney did have darts to win the match, but Durrant
1:39:51 > 1:39:55forced his way back to win by seven sets to six and take the second
1:39:55 > 1:39:57Lakeside title of his career.
1:39:57 > 1:39:59Now, how about this for marital teamwork?
1:39:59 > 1:40:02England's Chris Paisley has won his first European Tour title -
1:40:02 > 1:40:03and his wife was his caddy.
1:40:03 > 1:40:07He closed with a round of 66 to win the South Africa Open -
1:40:07 > 1:40:10and there to congratulate him was wife Keri, who was carrying his
1:40:10 > 1:40:12clubs for the first time.
1:40:12 > 1:40:15His regular caddie was on holiday - will he get his job back,
1:40:15 > 1:40:19I wonder?
1:40:19 > 1:40:22She doesn't know much about golf but she knows me better
1:40:22 > 1:40:23than anyone.
1:40:23 > 1:40:26At times when she knew I was getting a bit uptight,
1:40:26 > 1:40:27she would come me down.
1:40:27 > 1:40:35She was just a massive this week and I can't say enough about it.
1:40:36 > 1:40:43She obviously knows her golf as well.Is not an easy job, being a
1:40:43 > 1:40:53caddy. It's not just carrying a bag. At a pink --I don't think mind would
1:40:53 > 1:40:59cope. -- my husband.
1:40:59 > 1:41:03A quarter of a million children in the UK have a parent in prison,
1:41:03 > 1:41:06but it can be a subject that many find difficult to talk about.
1:41:06 > 1:41:1011-year-old Flynn is one of a group of children who have taken part
1:41:10 > 1:41:12in a new CBBC documentary, which explores
1:41:12 > 1:41:14what it's like to have a family member behind bars.
1:41:14 > 1:41:16He's here, along with his mum, Sue.
1:41:16 > 1:41:20We'll speak to them in a moment, but first let's see a clip of Flynn
1:41:20 > 1:41:24sharing his thoughts with a friend.
1:41:24 > 1:41:30What's this prison life when you go to prison?There is strange people
1:41:30 > 1:41:35just watching you, saying hello to your data. You are just like, why
1:41:35 > 1:41:40are you watching, why did you need to watch us, do we not have anything
1:41:40 > 1:41:48private? -- Dad. I want him to come back so he can come and watch me
1:41:48 > 1:41:53play football.I'm always here when you need me. Blair it feels good to
1:41:53 > 1:42:01talk to you about it. I've been keeping it in.-- I've been keeping
1:42:01 > 1:42:05it in. Now you have asked me these questions, I have no more worries
1:42:05 > 1:42:11any more falls of.
1:42:11 > 1:42:19I'm delighted to say that Flynn is here now. Great to have you. Can you
1:42:19 > 1:42:25explain. It must have been a big step for you as a family to take
1:42:25 > 1:42:30part in this documentary.It was hard because I was worried about the
1:42:30 > 1:42:34children and the journey that they would be taking, emotionally. It's
1:42:34 > 1:42:38something we all felt strongly about. We need to reduce the stigma
1:42:38 > 1:42:42attached to the subject because so many people find it hard to talk
1:42:42 > 1:42:47about. It's a difficult subject.You were talking to your friend, why did
1:42:47 > 1:42:51you want to talk about it? Did you want to tell other people what it's
1:42:51 > 1:43:01like?I wanted to tell people, people who have parenting prison, I
1:43:01 > 1:43:08told him all my feelings inside, what was wrong and all of that.
1:43:08 > 1:43:16There must be so many things that are really difficult. You can't see
1:43:16 > 1:43:20your dad very often. What is the most difficult?Probably that he
1:43:20 > 1:43:29can't give me hugs.Tell me how it works when you go and visit him.You
1:43:29 > 1:43:33go in through the door and you have to take all your shoes and
1:43:33 > 1:43:37everything off and fingerprints which the adults do and then you
1:43:37 > 1:43:45have to put your shoes through the scanner thing like the airport and
1:43:45 > 1:43:55then you have to go through a big metal detector which stands up.Is
1:43:55 > 1:44:00he allowed to give you one hard at the beginning?When we go in, we can
1:44:00 > 1:44:10have a heart. -- hug.Practically, it is not things you think about.
1:44:10 > 1:44:14You love football but your dad has never seen you. You take videos and
1:44:14 > 1:44:21show them he can see you?Download it onto a hard drive so when he
1:44:21 > 1:44:30comes home...What's it like for you, Flynn?I don't know.Do you
1:44:30 > 1:44:34find it difficult? Is that why you find it hard to talk to your
1:44:34 > 1:44:41friends?Kind of, yeah.You talked about the stigma. When he first went
1:44:41 > 1:44:45into prison, what did you tell the children and have you learned
1:44:45 > 1:44:50anything from the way that you have all dealt with it?Initially, the
1:44:50 > 1:44:54children knew because when he was arrested it was first thing in the
1:44:54 > 1:44:58morning so we all witnessed that which was very traumatic in itself.
1:44:58 > 1:45:03I wasn't able to really tell the children an awful lot because we
1:45:03 > 1:45:06have never been in this situation before and there was no one in our
1:45:06 > 1:45:10area he could give us any information. For any support. We
1:45:10 > 1:45:16were kind of floundering. It didn't take them the first 6-8 weeks to
1:45:16 > 1:45:22visit because it was traumatic.
1:45:22 > 1:45:25visit because it was traumatic. And when the sentence did come, I wasn't
1:45:25 > 1:45:29really able to tell the children, because I couldn't deal with it
1:45:29 > 1:45:33myself. Unfortunately our elder daughter, who didn't take part in
1:45:33 > 1:45:38the photos, she found out by social media at school, before I had even
1:45:38 > 1:45:44got home from court, which had a massive impact.So what have you
1:45:44 > 1:45:47learnt? Were there other things that you would do differently, if you
1:45:47 > 1:45:54could go back?Be as honest as you possibly can be, don't... Once I
1:45:54 > 1:46:01knew the sentence, I couldn't tell the children at the time, because I
1:46:01 > 1:46:05couldn't deal with it, so I just said he couldn't come home yet. When
1:46:05 > 1:46:08I did tell them, they already knew because people had been talking
1:46:08 > 1:46:12about it. So instead of protecting them, I think I had broken the trust
1:46:12 > 1:46:17that we have between us. So I think just be as honest as you can.It is
1:46:17 > 1:46:22understandable, isn't it? As a mum, you want to protect them. And how
1:46:22 > 1:46:26have your friends responded? How has that been, since you have told the
1:46:26 > 1:46:34people?They understand, but I think if they go out and meet another
1:46:34 > 1:46:37friend who has got a parent in prison, they will understand as
1:46:37 > 1:46:44well.And that is really important, isn't it?Yes.Now, I know you are a
1:46:44 > 1:46:51big football fan. Do you know Robbie Savage, and if you are able to hang
1:46:51 > 1:46:55around, you will be able to get a picture and have a chat with them. I
1:46:55 > 1:47:02know he never played for Spurs, but you can still have a chat with him.
1:47:02 > 1:47:10And that documentary is on CBBC this evening, and if you can't catch it,
1:47:10 > 1:47:17you can get it later on iPlayer.
1:47:17 > 1:47:21And this is the fun part where we go and see where Karalis.
1:47:21 > 1:47:24She is outside BBC Broadcasting House in Central London.
1:47:24 > 1:47:26She is outside BBC Broadcasting House in Central London.
1:47:26 > 1:47:31We are 15 minutes away from the secret, and it is a good one. --
1:47:31 > 1:47:37where Carol is. Many of us are staying in the high single figures,
1:47:37 > 1:47:41some even into double figures. It is wet and windy. Not just have we got
1:47:41 > 1:47:45that today, but we also have blustery showers. So as a wet and
1:47:45 > 1:47:49windy weather clears away from the south-east, it will be replaced with
1:47:49 > 1:47:53blustery showers, and as we had through this week it is going to
1:47:53 > 1:47:56turn increasingly cold, with some of us seeing some snow and
1:47:56 > 1:47:59strengthening winds. So this morning across Scotland we do have some
1:47:59 > 1:48:02wintry showers, but at this stage they are largely on the hills.
1:48:02 > 1:48:05Showers will be interspersed with bright spells, and as is the case
1:48:05 > 1:48:09with showers, not all of us will see them. Across northern England and
1:48:09 > 1:48:13the Midlands, further showers, some of them merging, so you will see
1:48:13 > 1:48:17some heavy bursts. Across East Anglia and the south-eastern corner
1:48:17 > 1:48:22of England, it is wet. We have heavy rain, gusty winds, pushing off into
1:48:22 > 1:48:26the near continent. As we move along the other side of the southern
1:48:26 > 1:48:30counties of England, towards the south-west, it is a wet start to the
1:48:30 > 1:48:35day. Some showers or some rain, but not particular cold. It is very wet
1:48:35 > 1:48:38across Wales at the moment, the rain continuing to go through the course
1:48:38 > 1:48:42of the morning. For Northern Ireland, the rain has cleared you
1:48:42 > 1:48:45and you have a mixture of bright spells and showers. Through the
1:48:45 > 1:48:49course of the day what you will find as the rain and gusty winds clearing
1:48:49 > 1:48:53away from the south-east. Then for most of the UK it will be a day of
1:48:53 > 1:48:57lost three showers, some sunny spells, and also we will see some
1:48:57 > 1:49:00bright spells. But the cold air already embedded across Scotland
1:49:00 > 1:49:04will filter further south. So the temperatures will go down in the
1:49:04 > 1:49:06afternoon across Northern Ireland and the far north of northern
1:49:06 > 1:49:10England. Increasingly we will start to see some snow at low levels.
1:49:10 > 1:49:13Especially for the evening and overnight. That is for Scotland,
1:49:13 > 1:49:17Northern Ireland and northern England. Further south, in some of
1:49:17 > 1:49:28the showers across South Wales and the south-west Moors, for
1:49:28 > 1:49:31the south-west Moors, for example, we could also see some wintriness,
1:49:31 > 1:49:34but that will generally be in the hills. But with some of the heavier
1:49:34 > 1:49:38showers we could also see some hail. Cold in the north, with some ice.
1:49:38 > 1:49:41Not as cold further south. Starting off tomorrow, the snow will still be
1:49:41 > 1:49:44falling across parts of Scotland, northern England and Northern
1:49:44 > 1:49:47Ireland. We could see it mount up, especially the northern Scotland,
1:49:47 > 1:49:49and for Northern Ireland, falling across northern England. Further
1:49:49 > 1:49:52south, we could see wintry showers everywhere, but most of the
1:49:52 > 1:49:56wintriness will be on the hills. In some of the heavier showers expect
1:49:56 > 1:50:00some hail and thunder, with gales across the south-west. As we head
1:50:00 > 1:50:03into Wednesday, a quieter day, a dry day weatherwise. Some sunshine and a
1:50:03 > 1:50:07few showers and then an area of low pressure coming in from the west.
1:50:07 > 1:50:11This is what we think at the moment. It will be quite potent and could
1:50:11 > 1:50:14wring some snow across the north of the country. But some disruptive
1:50:14 > 1:50:17winds across the west in the south, so something worth keeping tuned to
1:50:17 > 1:50:21the weather forecast for that alone, and everything else, of course.
1:50:21 > 1:50:25Thank you very much, so we are waiting, and in ten minutes we will
1:50:25 > 1:50:32have the announcement, whatever the surprises.Genuinely excited. We
1:50:32 > 1:50:38promised you Steph will be back about 7:50 a.m..
1:50:38 > 1:50:40Talks between Carillion, its creditors and the Government
1:50:40 > 1:50:43have failed to reach a deal, and now the company
1:50:43 > 1:50:44is to go into liquidation.
1:50:44 > 1:50:44is to go into liquidation.
1:50:44 > 1:50:47What this will mean for the more than 40,000 employees,
1:50:47 > 1:50:49including 20,000 in the UK, is unknown.
1:50:49 > 1:50:51Steph is speaking to the union this morning.
1:50:51 > 1:50:54Lots of people already bringing statements out, because this is
1:50:54 > 1:50:57massive news. The tentacles of their business spread into so many
1:50:57 > 1:51:01different parts of our lives. I will tell you about that and then we will
1:51:01 > 1:51:05talk to Unite about this. This is a company working on billions of
1:51:05 > 1:51:08pounds of public sector contracts, in our hospitals, schools, prisons
1:51:08 > 1:51:10and railways.
1:51:10 > 1:51:13Going into liquidation means it will now be run by accountancy firm
1:51:13 > 1:51:14PwC.
1:51:14 > 1:51:20They will be looking to see off assets from the firm.
1:51:20 > 1:51:24It is a lengthy process, there is lots of uncertainty around it, but
1:51:24 > 1:51:28of course want of the biggest issues is what it will mean for the 20,000
1:51:28 > 1:51:30people in the UK who work for Carillion.
1:51:30 > 1:51:33Joining me from London is Jim Kennedy, national officer
1:51:33 > 1:51:34for local authorities at the Unite Union.
1:51:34 > 1:51:38Good morning to you. What is your reaction to this news, then?Well,
1:51:38 > 1:51:43it is obviously devastating news this morning that we have had for
1:51:43 > 1:51:50our members within Carillion and the wider workforce in Carillion. The
1:51:50 > 1:51:55insecurity over the weekend, the radio silence that prevailed over
1:51:55 > 1:52:02the weekend, in terms of the future of Carillion, was obviously
1:52:02 > 1:52:07unhelpful four are members, and this morning, obviously, the latest news
1:52:07 > 1:52:12is quite awful. And what we seek, obviously, this morning is some
1:52:12 > 1:52:17assurances from the government, both on jobs, wages and pensions. For
1:52:17 > 1:52:22those directly employed by Carillion, and indeed those among
1:52:22 > 1:52:26the wider supply chain, of which there are many, many thousands.Do
1:52:26 > 1:52:34you have any ideas yet, Jim, about those jobs? About the 20,000 people?
1:52:34 > 1:52:39Have they been told anything yet? Know, from what we are aware at the
1:52:39 > 1:52:42moment, there has been no news relayed to the workers at all, which
1:52:42 > 1:52:46is quite awful state of affairs. These are directly employed workers
1:52:46 > 1:52:51delivering in the main public sector contracts and delivering essential
1:52:51 > 1:52:56public services. So there is huge insecurity about jobs and huge
1:52:56 > 1:52:59insecurity about the future delivery of those services.I mentioned at
1:52:59 > 1:53:04the beginning, Jim, about the fact that this is a business with
1:53:04 > 1:53:07tentacles and so many parts of our lives. Can you just explain a bit
1:53:07 > 1:53:11about what types of jobs those 20,000 jobs are?They are right
1:53:11 > 1:53:17across the public sector. They include the maintenance of MoD
1:53:17 > 1:53:21properties, they are dinner staff at schools, delivering meals in the
1:53:21 > 1:53:25NHS, and indeed delivering services in local government. So across the
1:53:25 > 1:53:30whole of the public sector, Carillion has what you term its
1:53:30 > 1:53:33tentacles involved in this, and it is quite worrying, of course, that
1:53:33 > 1:53:38despite repeated profit warnings, the government still awarded a
1:53:38 > 1:53:47public sector contract, and MoD contract, in excess of £150 million,
1:53:47 > 1:53:50after the profit warnings, and indeed after the profit warnings,
1:53:50 > 1:53:57the £1.4 billion contract for HS2. Just looking at some of this,
1:53:57 > 1:54:01obviously you mentioned there about all the different kinds of jobs, and
1:54:01 > 1:54:05we found out this morning from the statement that there will be funding
1:54:05 > 1:54:09provided to keep the NHS, prisons, and everything going today. So it is
1:54:09 > 1:54:13not a case of those jobs have gone. Those people will still be getting
1:54:13 > 1:54:18paid, those jobs and services will still be provided.You are right,
1:54:18 > 1:54:22but a two line statement does not allay the concerns of the workforce.
1:54:22 > 1:54:26What we would like to see, I mean, these services are public services,
1:54:26 > 1:54:30and we would like to see those services brought in-house, so the
1:54:30 > 1:54:34profit imperative is taken away from the delivery of public services. The
1:54:34 > 1:54:38profit imperative that has spectacularly failed in the case of
1:54:38 > 1:54:44Carillion.So what happens next? Well, we wait for some statements
1:54:44 > 1:54:49from government around assurances on jobs and pensions, et cetera, and
1:54:49 > 1:54:52indeed the future delivery of those contract. I mean, this statement
1:54:52 > 1:54:57came out about an hour ago. We are in unknown territory. Previously,
1:54:57 > 1:55:00when other companies have gone bust, there has been other private-sector
1:55:00 > 1:55:07contracts, contractors, pick up the profitable parts of those contract,
1:55:07 > 1:55:11and the nonprofitable parts have remained in the public sector. Now,
1:55:11 > 1:55:15that can't happen again.Thank you very much for your time this
1:55:15 > 1:55:20morning. That is Jim Kennedy from The Unite union, talking about the
1:55:20 > 1:55:2620,000 people who work for Carillion in the UK.And I know so many people
1:55:26 > 1:55:30this morning will be really concerned about that, so we will
1:55:30 > 1:55:34continue talking about this story, and we are trying to get hold of
1:55:34 > 1:55:37somebody from the government, essentially, as so many questions
1:55:37 > 1:55:41have been raised there. So many will want answers, especially if you work
1:55:41 > 1:55:45for Carillion or in one of the supply chains, as well. We will try
1:55:45 > 1:55:56and get some of the answers for you in the next hour.We will continue
1:55:56 > 1:56:01to interview Henry Bolton, the leader of UKIP, who wants to
1:56:01 > 1:56:04continue as you letter. And as well, at the completely other end of the
1:56:04 > 1:56:08scale, which is what we like to do on BBC Breakfast, we have Andrew
1:56:08 > 1:56:16Flintoff, Robbie Savage and the third member of their award-winning
1:56:16 > 1:56:22pod cast.
1:56:22 > 1:56:31pod cast. Flintoff, Savage, and the Ping-pong Guy. And Carol's dig
1:56:31 > 1:56:41secret revealed, coming up very shortly.
1:56:41 > 2:00:00shortly. I
2:00:00 > 2:00:04shortly. I
2:00:04 > 2:00:10There is more on the UKIP row with Vanessa Feltz. I will be back with
2:00:10 > 2:00:12more in half an hour. Goodbye.
2:00:27 > 2:00:28Hello.
2:00:28 > 2:00:29This is Breakfast.
2:00:29 > 2:00:31With Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:00:31 > 2:00:33Construction giant Carillion has gone into liquidation.
2:00:33 > 2:00:35The firm runs 900 schools, highways and prisons.
2:00:35 > 2:00:37Critics say the Government ignored warnings about the company's
2:00:37 > 2:00:45financial problems.
2:00:45 > 2:00:47I'll be looking at what it means for the 20,000 UK
2:00:47 > 2:00:55workers, and for government projects like HS2.
2:01:04 > 2:01:05Good morning.
2:01:05 > 2:01:06It's Monday, 15th January.
2:01:06 > 2:01:12Also this morning:
2:01:12 > 2:01:14Ukip leader Henry Bolton tells Breakfast he won't quit,
2:01:14 > 2:01:21after his girlfriend made racist remarks about Meghan Markle.
2:01:21 > 2:01:25Together, we have made the decision that the romantic element of our
2:01:25 > 2:01:30relationship should end. She is utterly distraught. Close to
2:01:30 > 2:01:33breakdown of all this.
2:01:33 > 2:01:36We'll be live inside the world's largest refugee camp, in Bangladesh,
2:01:36 > 2:01:38where hundreds of thousands of Rohingya refugees have fled
2:01:38 > 2:01:41violence in Myanmar.
2:01:41 > 2:01:41Good morning.
2:01:41 > 2:01:45Good morning.
2:01:45 > 2:01:46In Sport: It's Giggs for Wales.
2:01:46 > 2:01:49The Manchester United legend will be named the new national coach later,
2:01:49 > 2:01:50replacing Chris Coleman.
2:01:50 > 2:01:53And Carol has the weather.
2:01:53 > 2:01:59And something else, good morning. Good morning from bang bang. Look at
2:01:59 > 2:02:07this fabulous car! This morning, Chris Evans is launching 500 Words,
2:02:07 > 2:02:12a writing competition for children between five and 13 and part of the
2:02:12 > 2:02:19prize, the first prize, is a little ride in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
2:02:19 > 2:02:24Let's hope the weather is better then, today it is at rainy and
2:02:24 > 2:02:30windy, clearing from the South East followed by a what blustery showers.
2:02:30 > 2:02:34More from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and the weather later.
2:02:34 > 2:02:40Excellent, Carol! Thank you! What a wagon! I enjoyed that. Good morning.
2:02:40 > 2:02:41First, our main story.
2:02:41 > 2:02:43Last-bid talks to secure a rescue package for construction firm
2:02:43 > 2:02:45Carillion have failed, and it's been announced the company
2:02:45 > 2:02:47is entering liquidation.
2:02:47 > 2:02:52Carillion - which is involved in projects including HS2 -
2:02:52 > 2:02:54employed 40,000 workers, including 20,000 in the UK.
2:02:54 > 2:03:01Steph's here with more.
2:03:01 > 2:03:05This is a really significant story.
2:03:05 > 2:03:10How did Carillion get into this situation?
2:03:10 > 2:03:14A huge company that has run out of money. They cannot pay back the
2:03:14 > 2:03:19money they owe money to and so the banks, who are angry about this, and
2:03:19 > 2:03:21they're supplying companies and other people they owe money to, that
2:03:21 > 2:03:27has got to a point where they have been forced into compulsory
2:03:27 > 2:03:33liquidation. That means now a company, an accountancy firm called
2:03:33 > 2:03:37PWC will take over the company and sell off assets to try and make
2:03:37 > 2:03:43money back to pay off those people who have borrowed money. The 20,000
2:03:43 > 2:03:48people who work there in UK, we do not know as yet. We were talking to
2:03:48 > 2:03:53the union and they have not been told anything. This is a company who
2:03:53 > 2:03:58has its tentacles in so many parts of our lives. They run school
2:03:58 > 2:04:03dinners, they build huge hospitals, they are involved in the roads and
2:04:03 > 2:04:06railways. Sub various people involved in different areas of our
2:04:06 > 2:04:10lives have said, don't worry, the trains will run. Network Rail have
2:04:10 > 2:04:13said, whatever their involvement with us, things will be fine on the
2:04:13 > 2:04:18trains. The Government have said this morning, they will make sure
2:04:18 > 2:04:21our public services are still funded. It is not like we certainly
2:04:21 > 2:04:30will not have children being fed at school. The idea is to run the buses
2:04:30 > 2:04:32-- the business but to sell off the assets and the background to get
2:04:32 > 2:04:36this money back. It is so complicated because it is the second
2:04:36 > 2:04:40biggest construction firm in the UK, involved in prisons, hospitals,
2:04:40 > 2:04:45roads, railways, it touches so many parts of people's lives and this is
2:04:45 > 2:04:49why there is concern, what does it mean for the suppliers as well? That
2:04:49 > 2:04:52is what has been called into question this morning.Thanks for
2:04:52 > 2:04:56the moment. Plenty of questions about that.
2:04:56 > 2:04:57Our political correspondent, Iain Watson, has been following
2:04:57 > 2:04:59developments from Westminster.
2:04:59 > 2:05:04What's the political significance of this, Iain?
2:05:04 > 2:05:08In one of the papers over the weekend, it said that Carillion
2:05:08 > 2:05:15almost runs the UK, big political significance, the story. Absolutely.
2:05:15 > 2:05:19The second biggest construction company in Britain, so many
2:05:19 > 2:05:24employees directly employed and so many others directly employed and
2:05:24 > 2:05:27depended on contracts.They manage and maintain so many public
2:05:27 > 2:05:33services. The Government is likely to make a formal statement but over
2:05:33 > 2:05:37the weekend, talks were going on in Whitehall to try to avert compulsory
2:05:37 > 2:05:41liquidation. But those talks have failed, it has happened. Now we are
2:05:41 > 2:05:46into a political blame game. Labour have said, why was it the Government
2:05:46 > 2:05:51awarded three contracts worth nearly £2 billion after the company had
2:05:51 > 2:05:54issued a profits warning? A signal that things were potentially going
2:05:54 > 2:05:58wrong. The share price had plummeted. Get the comment was still
2:05:58 > 2:06:02awarding contracts. They want an investigation into that. And when it
2:06:02 > 2:06:06comes to this question of selling off assets, as far as the public
2:06:06 > 2:06:09service contracts are concerned, this company has such a big
2:06:09 > 2:06:15footprint, a lot of activity in the private sector. Some contracts were
2:06:15 > 2:06:18profitable and some not profitable and they want the Government to take
2:06:18 > 2:06:22over all those contracts and not simply to bail the company out for
2:06:22 > 2:06:26the unprofitable work. So demands from the opposition and likely to be
2:06:26 > 2:06:31a cross-party investigation and the Conservative chairman of the public
2:06:31 > 2:06:34administration committee. And just to give you an idea of how this is
2:06:34 > 2:06:38going to go for the rest of the day, within minutes of the announcement,
2:06:38 > 2:06:45the pro-EU group Open Britain were labouring Brexit for the collapse of
2:06:45 > 2:06:50Carillion. So a lot of people out to ascribe reasons for this collapse
2:06:50 > 2:06:53all the blame those in charge of the company or to blame the Government
2:06:53 > 2:06:58for not getting involved earlier with Carillion when it went into
2:06:58 > 2:07:02difficulties. We expect a statement from the Government in the House of
2:07:02 > 2:07:06Commons later today, but expect a lot of criticism as well.We will
2:07:06 > 2:07:09follow that and hopefully speak to David Lidington later from the
2:07:09 > 2:07:13Cabinet Office about that. Also this morning.
2:07:13 > 2:07:15And we've also been hearing from the leader of Ukip -
2:07:15 > 2:07:19Henry Bolton - this morning.
2:07:19 > 2:07:26Speculation over his future in his job after unsavoury things his
2:07:26 > 2:07:32girlfriend Jo Marney said. He said he wouldn't that relationship with
2:07:32 > 2:07:36Jo Marney was desperate to stay as leader.Yes, if Ukip was a company
2:07:36 > 2:07:40like Carillion, you would have seen its share price plummeting, it lost
2:07:40 > 2:07:46a lot of voters in the 2017 election and it has had four said that
2:07:46 > 2:07:49leaders since the EU referendum. What Henry Bolton was supposed to do
2:07:49 > 2:07:54was to get the party back on track and to take the fight over Brexit to
2:07:54 > 2:07:57the government but his personal life is all over the papers because of
2:07:57 > 2:08:03comments by his now ex-girlfriend Jo Marney. To remind you, she made
2:08:03 > 2:08:07comments regarded as racist, including suggesting that Meghan
2:08:07 > 2:08:11Markle might taint the Royal Family. She has since apologised and said
2:08:11 > 2:08:16those comments were taken out of context. Many people in Ukip felt
2:08:16 > 2:08:19Henry Bolton had to make a choice between his job as leader and his
2:08:19 > 2:08:23girlfriend and he made that was very clear early on this programme.
2:08:23 > 2:08:28Together, we have made this decision that the romantic element of our
2:08:28 > 2:08:34relationship should end. She is utterly distraught, close to
2:08:34 > 2:08:37breakdown of all this. She never intended these comments to be made
2:08:37 > 2:08:44public. They were made some time ago. And indeed, although utterly
2:08:44 > 2:08:48indefensible, there is some context to them which, in time, will be
2:08:48 > 2:08:58revealed. But the fact is that I am going to be supporting her family
2:08:58 > 2:09:02and supporting her in rebuilding her life, going forward.The question is
2:09:02 > 2:09:06whether Henry Bolton can rebuild his leadership. He has certainly
2:09:06 > 2:09:09distanced himself from his girlfriend Jo Marney and he has said
2:09:09 > 2:09:15these comments were indefensible. But that senior figures in Ukip
2:09:15 > 2:09:19including MEPs and a couple of people who contested the leadership
2:09:19 > 2:09:23in the past who think this is a huge distraction and they want to see a
2:09:23 > 2:09:26fresh start.Thank you very much. Really interesting to talk to any
2:09:26 > 2:09:35number of issues. Some sad news now. Cyrille Regis, former West Bromwich
2:09:35 > 2:09:42and England forward has died at the age of 59, such a big name to so
2:09:42 > 2:09:46many football fans, a big hero at West Bromwich and Coventry and a
2:09:46 > 2:09:53pioneer for black players, appointed MBE in 2008. We will get more detail
2:09:53 > 2:09:57on that, but sorry to bring you that, news that Cyrille Regis has
2:09:57 > 2:10:05passed away at the news of -- at the age of 59. We will talk more about
2:10:05 > 2:10:06that later.
2:10:06 > 2:10:09President Trump has denied being a racist, as a row continues
2:10:09 > 2:10:11over offensive language he allegedly used to describe immigrants
2:10:11 > 2:10:15from Haiti and Africa.
2:10:15 > 2:10:18He is accused of using a particular word during a private meeting
2:10:18 > 2:10:19on immigration in the White House.
2:10:19 > 2:10:22In his first direct response to accusations of racism,
2:10:22 > 2:10:25Donald Trump told reporters he had not made the comments.
2:10:40 > 2:10:45You might have seen these pictures.
2:10:45 > 2:10:48If you have a fear of flying, you might want to look away now.
2:10:48 > 2:10:51These are the incredible pictures of the aftermath of an incident
2:10:51 > 2:10:52at an airport in Turkey.
2:10:52 > 2:10:54Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7 lost control, before
2:10:54 > 2:10:56skidding off the runway, plunging over a cliff and coming
2:10:56 > 2:11:04to rest just before hitting the sea.
2:11:04 > 2:11:08SHOUTING.
2:11:08 > 2:11:11This was the reaction of passengers inside the plane.
2:11:11 > 2:11:12Incredibly, all of the 168 passengers and crew
2:11:12 > 2:11:17escaped without injury.
2:11:17 > 2:11:21But I am not sure they will forget that in a hurry. It is awful to
2:11:21 > 2:11:24think what would be going through your mind.
2:11:24 > 2:11:27116 people on board and everybody got off the plane without injury,
2:11:27 > 2:11:29amazing.
2:11:29 > 2:11:32The UKIP leader, Henry Bolton, is facing growing pressure to resign
2:11:32 > 2:11:37"quickly and quietly".
2:11:37 > 2:11:39It's after his girlfriend was suspended from the party
2:11:39 > 2:11:41for making offensive comments, including racist remarks
2:11:41 > 2:11:46about Prince Harry's fiancee, Meghan Markle.
2:11:46 > 2:11:51Earlier, he said he was putting his party ahead of his relationship.We
2:11:51 > 2:11:53have together made the decision that the romantic element of our
2:11:53 > 2:12:01relationship should end. She is utterly distraught, close to
2:12:01 > 2:12:04breakdown of or all of this. She never intended these comments to
2:12:04 > 2:12:08ever be made public. They were made some time ago. And indeed, although
2:12:08 > 2:12:17the week didn't -- indefensible, there is some context to them which
2:12:17 > 2:12:21in time will be revealed -- although utterly indefensible. But the fact
2:12:21 > 2:12:26is that I am going to be supporting her family and supporting her in
2:12:26 > 2:12:29rebuilding her life, going forward. You say they were indefensible and
2:12:29 > 2:12:33you talk about the context, why can you not explain the context now? To
2:12:33 > 2:12:38remind people, she was talking about the fact Meghan Markle could taint
2:12:38 > 2:12:42the Royal Family, she said she had a tiny brain and she said this was
2:12:42 > 2:12:46Britain and not Africa. What is the context around those comments?In
2:12:46 > 2:12:52that particular case, there is no context that defends or justifies
2:12:52 > 2:12:57the comments that were made. I was as appalled and shocked when I saw
2:12:57 > 2:13:05them first. Some of the other, she has made the do have a contract cost
2:13:05 > 2:13:09just a context and there are elements of that that, at the
2:13:09 > 2:13:15appropriate time, we will explain what they are.X -- I understand
2:13:15 > 2:13:18this has been a difficult decision and you have discussed this with her
2:13:18 > 2:13:23over the weekend, do you think this saves short position as party
2:13:23 > 2:13:27leader, what work you have to do now?The important work now is
2:13:27 > 2:13:33ongoing and it is work that has started, to create a solid,
2:13:33 > 2:13:36administrative, financial, logistical planning base for the
2:13:36 > 2:13:40party. So we can project ourselves going forward. I said the other day
2:13:40 > 2:13:47that what we wanted to see was a coming together of coordination of
2:13:47 > 2:13:50the different Life campaigns and immobilisation to make sure we do
2:13:50 > 2:13:56get the Government delivering the mandate and June 23rd 2016.That is
2:13:56 > 2:14:02the task. The problem is, Mr Bolton, it is hard for people to think about
2:14:02 > 2:14:04policy because the headlines have been dominated by what has been
2:14:04 > 2:14:09happening to you. In terms of your future as party leader, you run a
2:14:09 > 2:14:13campaign to beat Ukip party leader based on you being a happily married
2:14:13 > 2:14:20man.I dispute that. I was married and I still unmarried.You did make
2:14:20 > 2:14:23that part of your campaign. You enter that relationship with your
2:14:23 > 2:14:28wife. Did you not use the fact you were married as part of that
2:14:28 > 2:14:32campaign?Are you denying that? I was asked whether I was married and
2:14:32 > 2:14:35whether I had children and the answer was yes, I did not make a big
2:14:35 > 2:14:40issue of it. The fact is I was married, I am still married. There
2:14:40 > 2:14:43are things of my personal life now and there have been since before
2:14:43 > 2:14:49Christmas that need to be, I need to address. But I did not make that a
2:14:49 > 2:14:54central plank in any way of my campaign. My campaign was about
2:14:54 > 2:14:58getting the party on its feet, sorting out its internal
2:14:58 > 2:15:03organisation, so that we can deliver effective politics. That is what I
2:15:03 > 2:15:05was consistently saying.Can you understand why people would look at
2:15:05 > 2:15:10you this morning and over the weekend and question your trust and
2:15:10 > 2:15:13judgment? Not just people who voted Ukip in the past and he might
2:15:13 > 2:15:21consider it in the future, people within your own party.
2:15:21 > 2:15:29Ben Walker says you must go. Suzanne Evans says scandal after scandal
2:15:29 > 2:15:36with you at the leadership and Bill eth ridge says "Go quietly and leave
2:15:36 > 2:15:41us to deal with what's left. He calls you a political lightweight."
2:15:41 > 2:15:46These are people within your party? Two of the names were part of the
2:15:46 > 2:15:49leadership contest and still have aspirations in that direction. I
2:15:49 > 2:15:55would suggest that those two individuals should start working
2:15:55 > 2:16:00towards the betterment of the party itself, working as part of team
2:16:00 > 2:16:03rather than coming up with divisive and self interested comments. The
2:16:03 > 2:16:07point at the moment is that we've got to work together. If we fail to
2:16:07 > 2:16:12work together then indeed the party will fail to go forward and right
2:16:12 > 2:16:16from the beginning both those individuals have been following
2:16:16 > 2:16:22their own path. That was an interview we did
2:16:22 > 2:16:30earlier. Shall we catch up with Carol. We
2:16:30 > 2:16:34said she had a surprise. Explain what's going on behind you.
2:16:34 > 2:16:39said she had a surprise. Explain what's going on behind you.
2:16:40 > 2:16:52Well, this is chilly, chilly bang bang. Chris Evans is launching a
2:16:52 > 2:16:55writing competition. It is a competition and one of prizes that
2:16:55 > 2:17:01you will win is a spin in this car at the Hampshire Court Festival in
2:17:01 > 2:17:05June. So, lots of other prizes on offer, we will talk about them as we
2:17:05 > 2:17:08go through the morning. Let's hope the weather is better than it is
2:17:08 > 2:17:12today. The forecast today is a wet one. We have got heavy rain pushing
2:17:12 > 2:17:16away from the South East and for all of us, we are looking at blustery
2:17:16 > 2:17:20showers. So if you start the forecast in Scotland this morning,
2:17:20 > 2:17:23at 9am, there are some showers around and some of those will be
2:17:23 > 2:17:27wintry. At this stage mostly on the hills. But what you will find later
2:17:27 > 2:17:31is the snow will come down to sea level, but the showers, so not all
2:17:31 > 2:17:35of us seeing it. Across northern England and into the Midlands, again
2:17:35 > 2:17:39we've got showers. Some merging to give lengthier spells of rain. The
2:17:39 > 2:17:42heaviest rain is across the south-eastern quarter of England and
2:17:42 > 2:17:47here we have got gusty winds, that's what will push away into the near
2:17:47 > 2:17:51Continent and the North Sea as we go through the morning. Southern
2:17:51 > 2:17:55counties generally wet. In Plymouth the temperature will be around 11
2:17:55 > 2:17:58Celsius. But it is wet across Wales at the moment and it will remain so
2:17:58 > 2:18:03as we go through the course of this morning. For Northern Ireland, the
2:18:03 > 2:18:06heaviest of rain has cleared you, but behind we are looking at a
2:18:06 > 2:18:10mixture of bright spells and sunny spells and showers. Now we've
2:18:10 > 2:18:14already got cold air across Scotland and through the day that will sink
2:18:14 > 2:18:18southwards. Some of us will see our maximum temperatures this morning
2:18:18 > 2:18:21with the temperature going down as we go through the afternoon. That's
2:18:21 > 2:18:24why increasingly we are looking at the snow getting to lower levels
2:18:24 > 2:18:27across parts of Scotland. Later, low levels across parts of Northern
2:18:27 > 2:18:32Ireland. The rain clears away from the South East, leaving blustery
2:18:32 > 2:18:37showers behind and again, some of those may well have hail embedded in
2:18:37 > 2:18:41them too. As we head on through the evening and overnight, increasingly
2:18:41 > 2:18:44as it gets colder, the snow will come down to lower levels, not just
2:18:44 > 2:18:48in Scotland and Northern Ireland, but northern England too. Any snow
2:18:48 > 2:18:51in south and South Wales and the moors and the south-west of England
2:18:51 > 2:18:54will be on the hills, but again, you could see hail in there. And
2:18:54 > 2:18:57temperatures, well, cold in the north, temperatures freezing or
2:18:57 > 2:19:01below, a little bit higher than that as we come further south, but it
2:19:01 > 2:19:06will feel cold. So there is the risk of again ice on untreated surfaces.
2:19:06 > 2:19:10Tomorrow, we will be starting to see the snow April cumulate across
2:19:10 > 2:19:13Scotland in particular and then Northern Ireland and then northern
2:19:13 > 2:19:17England. We could have between zero and three centimetres across
2:19:17 > 2:19:21northern England for example and tomorrow we could see wintry showers
2:19:21 > 2:19:24anywhere elsewhere, but what you will find is the wintry flavour will
2:19:24 > 2:19:28tend to be on the hills, but you could see some hail and thunder and
2:19:28 > 2:19:32lightening. Temperature wise, cold in the north and the colder air
2:19:32 > 2:19:36filtering further south. It is the very far south that hangs into the
2:19:36 > 2:19:40higher temperatures. As we move into Wednesday, well a lot of dry
2:19:40 > 2:19:43weather, but we have an area of low pressure coming in from the west
2:19:43 > 2:19:48which at the moment looks like it will bring snow to the north of the
2:19:48 > 2:19:52country, but strong winds, positively disruptive winds across
2:19:52 > 2:19:56the west and the south. So keep in touch with the weather forecast, Dan
2:19:56 > 2:20:00and Lou.Oh, well, indeed. You talked about the 500 word
2:20:00 > 2:20:04competition. We're talking about that later as well. Carol, thank you
2:20:04 > 2:20:06very much indeed.
2:20:08 > 2:20:14It is one of my favourite films. I loved it! It is that machine that he
2:20:14 > 2:20:22makes that makes breakfast that cracks the eggs and all that.
2:20:22 > 2:20:24cracks the eggs and all that.Your children can't enter as you work for
2:20:24 > 2:20:26the BBC.
2:20:26 > 2:20:29Let's return to our top story and news that one of Britain's
2:20:29 > 2:20:32biggest construction firms is going into liquidation.
2:20:32 > 2:20:36Steph has been bringing us the details about the size of Carillion,
2:20:36 > 2:20:41I suppose when they're involved in so much of the infrastructure in the
2:20:41 > 2:20:44UK, it is those other businesses that this will impact on as well?
2:20:44 > 2:20:48That's right. It is a company which has its tentacles in so many
2:20:48 > 2:20:51different parts of our lives that there is lots of other businesses
2:20:51 > 2:20:54that rely on Carillion as well and that's what we want to look at now.
2:20:54 > 2:20:58We are trying to look at every part of this. Good morning to you. This
2:20:58 > 2:21:03is a huge company. Working on billions of pounds worth of public
2:21:03 > 2:21:06sector contracts in our hospitals, schools, prisons, roads and
2:21:06 > 2:21:11railways.
2:21:11 > 2:21:15PWC will look to sell off the assets to pay off the people that Carillion
2:21:15 > 2:21:20owes money to because it is in a lot of debt and including to its
2:21:20 > 2:21:26suppliers as well. Now, the Chief Executive of the specialist
2:21:26 > 2:21:32engineering contractors group. They represent many suppliers who work
2:21:32 > 2:21:35for Carillion. Can you explain how it works with suppliers and
2:21:35 > 2:21:43Carillion?Well, yes, every time you look at construction sites, you see
2:21:43 > 2:21:49the name of Carillion plastered everywhere. The trouble is that they
2:21:49 > 2:21:53outsourced all their work. They did very little of the work. I think
2:21:53 > 2:21:58that the general public didn't really understand this. So we have a
2:21:58 > 2:22:05situation where all the work is done by suppliers and unfortunately as
2:22:05 > 2:22:08far as my sector is concerned which is the specialist engineering sector
2:22:08 > 2:22:12they are going to be owed lots and lots of money by Carillion because
2:22:12 > 2:22:16of the work that they've done over the past few months and possibly
2:22:16 > 2:22:22years.So are they worried? Are your suppliers worried?Yes, I mean, they
2:22:22 > 2:22:28are extremely worried. I mean, we're quite annoyed actually at the fact
2:22:28 > 2:22:33that the Government has effectively appointed even over the last six
2:22:33 > 2:22:38months a company that has really no assets to carry out millions of
2:22:38 > 2:22:42pounds worth of work knowing full well, of course, that work is to be
2:22:42 > 2:22:50done by the supply chain and it is the supply chain who is going to
2:22:50 > 2:22:55have to bear this massive loss and the question is to what extent can
2:22:55 > 2:22:58they bear the loss and the worry is that a lot of firms in the supply
2:22:58 > 2:23:02chain could end up going to insolvency themselves.So do you
2:23:02 > 2:23:06think the suppliers could collapse as a result of this?Oh yes. It's
2:23:06 > 2:23:12hard to say at this stage how many. We're going to have to look into the
2:23:12 > 2:23:18extent of exposure of these firms this week. But there could be a
2:23:18 > 2:23:23large number of firms seriously affected, if not going into
2:23:23 > 2:23:26insolvency, but experience substantial financial distress.
2:23:26 > 2:23:30Rudi, thank you very much for your time. I appreciate it is a quickly
2:23:30 > 2:23:33moving story, but that's it from me, for now, thanks.Thank you very
2:23:33 > 2:23:36much, Steph. We will be continuing to talk about it here on Breakfast
2:23:36 > 2:23:46as well. Thank you.
2:23:48 > 2:23:55What can be done to stop sexual harassment in public places?
2:23:55 > 2:23:58We're joined now by Eliza Hatch, a photographer who has
2:23:58 > 2:24:00worked with abuse victims.
2:24:00 > 2:24:04You started a project on this particularly. Why did you want to
2:24:04 > 2:24:15start looking at this?I started Cheer Up Love a year ago and it is a
2:24:15 > 2:24:20project that retells women's accounts of street harassment. I
2:24:20 > 2:24:24publish the stories for everyone to see.And it is called Cheer Up Love
2:24:24 > 2:24:30because?It is a common phrase that I've had experience with in my life.
2:24:30 > 2:24:35I have had it many time and it doesn't get any less annoying the
2:24:35 > 2:24:40more you hear it. A man walked past me and told me to cheer up and it
2:24:40 > 2:24:44was a year ago and for some reason I couldn't let it go and I wanted to
2:24:44 > 2:24:50challenge that.You talked, didn't you, to your friends and both male
2:24:50 > 2:24:52and female and what was their reaction when you started discussing
2:24:52 > 2:24:56this?I started this project like I didn't know the reaction I would
2:24:56 > 2:25:00get. I didn't know if this was something that happened outside my
2:25:00 > 2:25:04close group of friends and when I started asking these questions and
2:25:04 > 2:25:09asking do you experience sexual harassment, I got two responses and
2:25:09 > 2:25:12the first response was oh, yeah, of course, which one of my ten stories
2:25:12 > 2:25:17do you want? The other kind of response was, "I don't think
2:25:17 > 2:25:21anything that bad has ever happened to me." That's when I had to be like
2:25:21 > 2:25:26as anybody ever shouted something from a moving vehicle at you or
2:25:26 > 2:25:31given you an unwanted compliment or made you feel uncomfortable? Then it
2:25:31 > 2:25:36was, oh, of course, the floodgates just opened.The women and
2:25:36 > 2:25:38equalities committee are going to look at this and they are asking for
2:25:38 > 2:25:40evidence from women and you are talking about evidence there. What
2:25:40 > 2:25:45do you think can be done to change? And just a comment like that, what
2:25:45 > 2:25:50do you think needs to be done for example?Well, it is really about
2:25:50 > 2:25:54changing attitudes, I think, and it's really about kind of continuing
2:25:54 > 2:25:59to raise that awareness and education at a younger age, this
2:25:59 > 2:26:02being taught at school, you know, this is not appropriate behaviour,
2:26:02 > 2:26:05you know, you can't treat people like this in public spaces. I know
2:26:05 > 2:26:10for one when I was growing up, we never had that education, we had
2:26:10 > 2:26:13your basic sex education, but there was never anything to do with like
2:26:13 > 2:26:19harassment. So I think really, if attitudes are to change that needs
2:26:19 > 2:26:25to happen.We have got pictures of some of you that contacted you that
2:26:25 > 2:26:30you've taken. Have you had much feedback from men as well?Yes.
2:26:30 > 2:26:33Yeah, I was, I didn't really know the kind of response that I would
2:26:33 > 2:26:39get from men. I was expecting a backlash, but the more positive
2:26:39 > 2:26:44responses that I got were basically I had fathers, e-mailing me
2:26:44 > 2:26:47concerned for their daughters shocked with no idea that this stuff
2:26:47 > 2:26:51happened and I even had elderly men get in touch with me, apologising
2:26:51 > 2:26:57and saying, "I had no idea. I think I was one of those perpetrators. I'm
2:26:57 > 2:27:00sorry. Thank you for bringing light to this."Thank you very much
2:27:00 > 2:27:03indeed. I think that meeting with the women and equalities committee
2:27:03 > 2:27:07takes place in March and we'll report on it going up to that and
2:27:07 > 2:27:15after it as well. 5th March. I am sure people can find out more
2:27:15 > 2:27:18online.Yes, Instagram.
2:27:18 > 2:30:39It's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
2:30:39 > 2:30:49Van is talking about that bus announcement on her show.
2:30:49 > 2:30:54Hello. You are watching with Dan and Louise. Let us bring you up-to-date
2:30:54 > 2:30:56with some of the main stories.
2:30:56 > 2:30:59Let us bring you up-to-date with some of the main stories.
2:30:59 > 2:31:01One of Britain's biggest construction companies,
2:31:01 > 2:31:02Carillion, has been placed into liquidation this morning.
2:31:02 > 2:31:05Government officials had been holding talks with the firm's
2:31:05 > 2:31:07creditors throughout the weekend, but appear to have been unable
2:31:07 > 2:31:08to reach a rescue deal.
2:31:08 > 2:31:10Carillion, which was involved in many major contracts -
2:31:33 > 2:31:38It's a sad day. Not the outcome that workers here in Wolverhampton were
2:31:38 > 2:31:42expecting. We have been trying to speak to some of them but they
2:31:42 > 2:31:47basically have been told not to comment to the media, of course,
2:31:47 > 2:31:51Carillion, the company quoted as the organisation that effectively runs
2:31:51 > 2:31:57Britain. They started out as a pure construction firm, but have evolved
2:31:57 > 2:32:00into a construction and services company, they employ round 400
2:32:00 > 2:32:06people here, but as you said, 20,000 people across the UK, but another
2:32:06 > 2:32:1020,000 people across the world, and, we don't know what will happen to
2:32:10 > 2:32:14those job, of course there are questions about what happens to the
2:32:14 > 2:32:18wider supply chain, contracting firm, manufacturers who provide
2:32:18 > 2:32:24materials for the constructing firms and recruitment firms, who rely on a
2:32:24 > 2:32:30lot of the work from Krill I don't know appoint people, but a sad day
2:32:30 > 2:32:33here, an sad day across the UK for the construction industry.So many
2:32:33 > 2:32:36questions we need answered at the moment.
2:32:36 > 2:32:39Ukip's under-fire leader has refused to resign from his position,
2:32:39 > 2:32:41but has this morning told Breakfast he's no longer romantically involved
2:32:41 > 2:32:44with his girlfriend - after it emerged Jo Marney made
2:32:44 > 2:32:46racist remarks about Prince Harry's fiancee, Meghan Markle.
2:32:46 > 2:32:48Several senior Ukip members have called for Mr Bolton's
2:32:48 > 2:32:49swift resignation.
2:32:49 > 2:32:51But he told this programme his leadership was needed
2:32:51 > 2:32:58to hold the Government to account on Brexit.
2:32:58 > 2:33:00We've together made the decision that the romantic element
2:33:00 > 2:33:02of our relationship should end.
2:33:02 > 2:33:09She is utterly distraught, close to break down over all of this.
2:33:09 > 2:33:12Se never intended these comments to ever be made public,
2:33:12 > 2:33:15they were made some time ago, and indeed, although utterly
2:33:15 > 2:33:18indefensible, there is some context to them, which in time
2:33:18 > 2:33:19will be revealed.
2:33:19 > 2:33:22But the fact is that I'm going to be supporting her family
2:33:22 > 2:33:30and supporting her in rebuilding her life, going forward.
2:33:46 > 2:33:49Police in East Yorkshire believe they've found the body of a man,
2:33:49 > 2:33:51suspected of using a crossbow to kill his neighbour.
2:33:51 > 2:33:53Officers in Humberside began searching for 56-year-old
2:33:53 > 2:33:55Anthony Lawrence, following the death of Shane Gilmer on Friday.
2:33:55 > 2:33:57His pregnant girlfriend, Laura Sugden, was also seriously
2:33:57 > 2:34:01wounded in the attack.
2:34:01 > 2:34:03A senior coroner will today deliver his conclusions
2:34:03 > 2:34:06at the second inquest into the death of the toddler, Poppi Worthington.
2:34:06 > 2:34:07The 13-month-old was found with serious injuries
2:34:07 > 2:34:09at her home in Cumbria in 2012.
2:34:09 > 2:34:12The controversial first inquest was quashed by the High Court
2:34:12 > 2:34:19after it lasted just seven minutes and was shrouded in secrecy.
2:34:25 > 2:34:28Carillion appoint people, but a sad day here, an sad day across the UK
2:34:28 > 2:34:30for the construction industry. So many questions we need answered at
2:34:30 > 2:34:34the moment. Coming up. Our reporters inside the
2:34:34 > 2:34:42largest refugee camp. With the launch of 500 words creative writing
2:34:42 > 2:34:50competition, we will get tips on how to spendisational short stories.
2:34:50 > 2:34:56We will win in Adelaide and we will get beat in pert and win in
2:34:56 > 2:35:01Melbourne.When it comes to ashing predictions they may no always be
2:35:01 > 2:35:07right but they are not afraid to voice their opinion.
2:35:07 > 2:35:09Andrew Flintoff, Robbie Savage and the Ping Pong guy,
2:35:09 > 2:35:11Matthew Syed will be here as their award-winning podcast
2:35:11 > 2:35:14returns for a new series.
2:35:14 > 2:35:23I amount sure with them we should reflect on the sad news of the death
2:35:23 > 2:35:31of Cyril Regis. He was a pioneering figures one of
2:35:31 > 2:35:33the first generation of black footballers to kind of change the
2:35:33 > 2:35:41face of game. We see players from all minorities, from all walks of
2:35:41 > 2:35:46life on the pitch these days and Cyril Regis was one of the first, he
2:35:46 > 2:35:51started playing in the '70s when the attitude of fans and the game was
2:35:51 > 2:35:57perhaps different. He received awful abuse. He has to live there, play
2:35:57 > 2:36:03through, you know him, you said... He was on Football Focus regularly.
2:36:03 > 2:36:08It came as a shock. He is is a nice bloke. All the clubs he has played
2:36:08 > 2:36:13for, he is considered a real hero. People have so much affect hundred
2:36:13 > 2:36:18for him. Many people will be emotional at news that he has passed
2:36:18 > 2:36:22away. At such a young age.
2:36:22 > 2:36:25The former England striker Cyrille Regis has died at the age of 59.
2:36:25 > 2:36:27It's understood he'd suffered a heart attack.
2:36:27 > 2:36:29Regis was most famous for playing at West Bromwich Albion,
2:36:29 > 2:36:32where he's considered a legend, as well as Coventry and Aston Villa.
2:36:32 > 2:36:40He was one of the first black players to be capped by England.
2:36:42 > 2:36:45Ryan Giggs is set to be named as the manager of the Wales
2:36:45 > 2:36:46national team today, succeeding Chris Coleman.
2:36:46 > 2:36:49Giggs' only managerial experience so far was four games in charge
2:36:49 > 2:36:51of Manchester United when David Moyes was sacked in 2014.
2:36:51 > 2:36:54Coleman stepped down in November, after Wales failed to qualify
2:36:54 > 2:37:01for this year's World Cup.
2:37:01 > 2:37:04After 30 games and 281 days, Manchester City's unbeaten
2:37:04 > 2:37:07Premier League run is finally over.
2:37:07 > 2:37:10They lost 4-3 to Liverpool, in an incredible match at Anfield.
2:37:10 > 2:37:11Liverpool scored three goals in eight minutes,
2:37:11 > 2:37:19to go 4-1 up in the second half.
2:37:20 > 2:37:23City did fight back, but they couldn't find an equaliser -
2:37:23 > 2:37:26they are still 15 points clear at the top of the table
2:37:26 > 2:37:29but Liverpool are celebrating a famous victory.
2:37:29 > 2:37:32And - for the first time ever - Bournemouth beat Arsenal,
2:37:32 > 2:37:35coming from behind in front of their home crowd to win 2-1,
2:37:35 > 2:37:36thanks to Jordan Ibe.
2:37:36 > 2:37:37His first goal for the club...
2:37:37 > 2:37:43And what a time to score it.
2:37:43 > 2:37:46Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed the biggest win of his career,
2:37:46 > 2:37:48beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson in the first round of
2:37:48 > 2:37:49the Australian Open.
2:37:49 > 2:37:53He twice came from a set down and was trailing 2-0 in the deciding
2:37:53 > 2:37:55set before he took the match and reached the second round in
2:37:55 > 2:37:57Melbourne for only the second time.
2:37:57 > 2:38:00He'll face Denis Istomin next.
2:38:00 > 2:38:03And there were a couple of surprises in the women's draw -
2:38:03 > 2:38:06Venus Williams and the US Open champion Sloane Stephens have
2:38:06 > 2:38:13both been knocked out in the opening round.
2:38:16 > 2:38:19Billy Vunipola is set to miss England's Six Nations campaign.
2:38:19 > 2:38:21He broke his arm playing for Saracens in their draw
2:38:21 > 2:38:22with Ospreys over the weekend.
2:38:22 > 2:38:25It was only his second game back after a long lay-off
2:38:25 > 2:38:31after a knee operation.
2:38:31 > 2:38:36More bad luck I am afraid for Billy Vunipola. He was one of the players
2:38:36 > 2:38:45who spoke out about the risk that rugby player put themselves at by
2:38:45 > 2:38:50playing so hard, once again another injury for poor old Billy.
2:38:50 > 2:38:54A really big issue, he has been one of the more outspoken players on the
2:38:54 > 2:38:54issue.
2:38:54 > 2:38:57issue.
2:38:57 > 2:39:00Since August of last year, more than half a million
2:39:00 > 2:39:02Rohingya Muslims, have been forced to flee violence and
2:39:02 > 2:39:03persecution in Myanmar.
2:39:03 > 2:39:05The United Nations has described the military offensive that provoked
2:39:05 > 2:39:07the exodus as a "textbook example of ethnic cleansing".
2:39:07 > 2:39:09Many have sought refuge in neighbouring Bangladesh,
2:39:09 > 2:39:11in what has become the world's largest refugee camp.
2:39:11 > 2:39:13Our South Asia Correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, is there
2:39:13 > 2:39:15Our South Asia correspondent, Justin Rowlatt, is there
2:39:15 > 2:39:24for us this morning.
2:39:25 > 2:39:35Good morning to you.We are right in the middle of this huge camp. There
2:39:35 > 2:39:38is 850,000 refugees roughly in the south-east corner of Bangladesh, we
2:39:38 > 2:39:44are in the middle of the largest camp. There was about 650,000 people
2:39:44 > 2:39:48here. I am joined by Tony Stewart of the World Health Organisation.It is
2:39:48 > 2:39:53your job to manage health within the camp. This is fairly typical. It is
2:39:53 > 2:39:56a nice bit of refugee camp but this is fairly typical. Take a look at
2:39:56 > 2:40:01this and tell us what risks can you as an expert see a looking at the
2:40:01 > 2:40:06camp.You can see there are open drains, that will be a problem when
2:40:06 > 2:40:12the wet season comes along, in a couple of months, we have to be
2:40:12 > 2:40:19prepared for that, the other is mosquito borne diseases, the risk of
2:40:19 > 2:40:23things like malaria Kevin lie tips, that is high. We are preparing for
2:40:23 > 2:40:26the problems but we need to stop the outbreaks before they start.That is
2:40:26 > 2:40:32a menu of illness you have listed there. But the rains begin soon,
2:40:32 > 2:40:37they begin in April. More, twice as much rain in April than in the
2:40:37 > 2:40:41rainiest month in Britain. It only gets wetter after that. That is a
2:40:41 > 2:40:45huge challenge here isn't it.It is enormous, it is one of the things we
2:40:45 > 2:40:52are most worry about. The risk of waterborne diseases are enormous, we
2:40:52 > 2:40:57have got programmes in place for vaccination to presoent of these
2:40:57 > 2:41:00thing, that we will focus on those most.One of the things that struck
2:41:00 > 2:41:06me, I was here at the beginning of September when the crisis begun, is
2:41:06 > 2:41:08how resilient, how strong the people have been.
2:41:08 > 2:41:11how resilient, how strong the people have been. They have built these
2:41:11 > 2:41:14community, it may look like shacks but they are sturdy construction,
2:41:14 > 2:41:18how do you feel, you have worked with the people. How strong are
2:41:18 > 2:41:25they? How well have they responded to this.They are very resilient,
2:41:25 > 2:41:30that is something we need to lean upon because community based
2:41:30 > 2:41:34programmes looking for new cases of disease and to work for getting out
2:41:34 > 2:41:38health care messages will be crucial to this. The Government's been
2:41:38 > 2:41:43supportive, we are working with Government and partners to role roll
2:41:43 > 2:41:48these programmes out and we will lean heavily on the community worker
2:41:48 > 2:41:50hearse, helping to control health and prevent outbreaks of disease
2:41:50 > 2:41:54here.Excellent Tony Stewart of the World Health Organisation, thank you
2:41:54 > 2:41:59very much indeed. So as I say, the first cyclone, this is a really
2:41:59 > 2:42:02cyclone prone area, the first cyclones are likely to come in in
2:42:02 > 2:42:07April. You have months of them and this awful monsoon season, look at
2:42:07 > 2:42:11this environment, look at the house, look at the conditions here and just
2:42:11 > 2:42:15imagine what it will be like when the rains come, huge challenges for
2:42:15 > 2:42:20the people here, but challenges that they are rising to, so from the
2:42:20 > 2:42:28refugee camps here in Bangladesh, back to you in Britain.
2:42:29 > 2:42:33Thank you for that, the drone footage shows you the sheer size and
2:42:33 > 2:42:37scale.
2:42:37 > 2:42:40Carillion employees should keep coming to work and will get paid.
2:42:40 > 2:42:42That's the message this morning from the government,
2:42:42 > 2:42:45which says it will provide funding to maintain services after the firm
2:42:45 > 2:42:46went into liquidation.
2:42:46 > 2:42:52David Liddington is the Cabinet Office Minister and he joins us now.
2:42:52 > 2:42:55Morning to you, thank you very much. So many questions to find out about
2:42:55 > 2:43:01the impact of all o this. Carillion going into liquidation today, 20,000
2:43:01 > 2:43:06jobs are they safe?Anybody who is employed on a public service
2:43:06 > 2:43:09contract should come into work confident their wages and salaries
2:43:09 > 2:43:14will be paid, we made arrangements as Government and this is working
2:43:14 > 2:43:19through the rest of the state system, to pay to the official serve
2:43:19 > 2:43:25who is in charge of winding up Carillion, rather than Carillion, we
2:43:25 > 2:43:29had the money earmarked from the wages and salary in Government
2:43:29 > 2:43:33budgets so we are continuing to pay those today. People should come into
2:43:33 > 2:43:37work.Let us talk about the services they currently run. They are
2:43:37 > 2:43:42involved in all sorts of thing, in school, hospitalses, prisons and on
2:43:42 > 2:43:46the railway, what happens to those? That work continues which is why we
2:43:46 > 2:43:49need the people to carry on. I have been clear and the Government has
2:43:49 > 2:43:56been clear, that it is not our responsibility to bail out the
2:43:56 > 2:44:00shareholders, or lenders of Carillion, and they sadly are going
2:44:00 > 2:44:05to take a big hit from the collapse of the company, our priority is to
2:44:05 > 2:44:09protect key public services, and that is what we are doing, in
2:44:09 > 2:44:13ensuring that those service contracts continue to be funded via
2:44:13 > 2:44:18the official receiver, now, as the official receiver analyses
2:44:18 > 2:44:21Carillion's businesses, its different contract, what we will see
2:44:21 > 2:44:26is some of that public service business being let out to
2:44:26 > 2:44:30alternative contractors, other aspects may well be brought in house
2:44:30 > 2:44:36by the particular Government department or agency, or local
2:44:36 > 2:44:40authority concerned, and that will be done in an ordinary gradual
2:44:40 > 2:44:43fashion.Can we talk about the money, you say you have it
2:44:43 > 2:44:47earmarked, how much will it cost?It is Michelle Obama we are paying
2:44:47 > 2:44:51anywhere, we are not paying twice, we pay for the service as we receive
2:44:51 > 2:44:57them, whether that is maintenance in the Prison Service, or whether that
2:44:57 > 2:45:01is a construction contract, or whether it is cleaning in a
2:45:01 > 2:45:05hospital, we were up to yesterday paying that money to Krill I don't
2:45:05 > 2:45:08know for services given. We will be paying it through the official
2:45:08 > 2:45:14serve. It the same money.Let us talk about the major projects,
2:45:14 > 2:45:19investments for example and there is many of them. The royal Liverpool
2:45:19 > 2:45:25hospital, the Doon bypass, HS2, what happens to those?Well, in many
2:45:25 > 2:45:30cases those are the subject of joint venture arrangement where Carillion
2:45:30 > 2:45:35was one of a number of different contractors involved, and the HS2
2:45:35 > 2:45:41contract, it is true of some of the defence maintenance contracts and in
2:45:41 > 2:45:45those case, the other partners now come in and they take up Carillion's
2:45:45 > 2:45:51share of the business. So if it was a three-way contract it becomes two
2:45:51 > 2:45:59contractors who split the costs and the opportunities 50-50.
2:45:59 > 2:46:03I know there was stress testing before some of these, but they are
2:46:03 > 2:46:09in place to take on these last contracts.In many cases, there is a
2:46:09 > 2:46:13contractual obligation that all of those contractors knew when they
2:46:13 > 2:46:18signed up. And yes, this is something that the different
2:46:18 > 2:46:22government departments and agencies, who are responsible for various
2:46:22 > 2:46:27aspects of the Carillion contracting have been looking at over recent
2:46:27 > 2:46:31weeks, in some cases, months, and checking there is the capacity to
2:46:31 > 2:46:34take things up. You mentioned Aberdeen. Where something is
2:46:34 > 2:46:41devolved, there is the Scottish Government there. Some other
2:46:41 > 2:46:44contracts might be administered by local authorities. The relevant
2:46:44 > 2:46:49Whitehall departments have been in touch there and we have been keeping
2:46:49 > 2:46:52the devolved administrations in Scotland and Wales in the loop as
2:46:52 > 2:46:57well.Can I ask why the government was giving out new contracts when
2:46:57 > 2:47:02the company had already issued profit warnings? Why did that
2:47:02 > 2:47:07happen?Each department operated on the basis of the publicly known in
2:47:07 > 2:47:12legal rules that govern the award of government contracts, and in the way
2:47:12 > 2:47:16that I have just described, if you look at those central government
2:47:16 > 2:47:22contracts that were agreed, that involved Carillion post July 2017,
2:47:22 > 2:47:28you will see that they had joint bench partners who are there to take
2:47:28 > 2:47:33up the slack so that risk was covered.We have been told this
2:47:33 > 2:47:38morning on this programme, and there is so much concern about this from
2:47:38 > 2:47:41an organisation representing suppliers, that some of them will
2:47:41 > 2:47:45collapse. This will have impacts on all sorts of people. What about the
2:47:45 > 2:47:51suppliers, what about the people who work for them?Just as we are saying
2:47:51 > 2:47:55to employees, that we are continuing to pay your wages and salaries, so
2:47:55 > 2:48:02we are saying to suppliers, you can continue to supply, we will continue
2:48:02 > 2:48:07to pay you for those supplies, it will be rooted by the official
2:48:07 > 2:48:11receiver and not Carillion.Who say the money is there. Some people are
2:48:11 > 2:48:16concerned that the taxpayer will be left with a large bill because this
2:48:16 > 2:48:23has happened.We are not paying twice. So for example, if there is a
2:48:23 > 2:48:29contract that Carillion should carry out, hospital cleaning and
2:48:29 > 2:48:32maintenance somewhere, then that money will have been a marked in the
2:48:32 > 2:48:36budget by the Department of Health or the local NHS Trust. But money
2:48:36 > 2:48:39will still be there in the budget from this morning onwards, instead
2:48:39 > 2:48:43of that money going into Carillion's bank account, that will go into the
2:48:43 > 2:48:48bank account of the official receiver so it can be passed on to
2:48:48 > 2:48:51the suppliers accordingly.And I know you will be involved in these
2:48:51 > 2:48:57talks, when it came to the fact that this would have to be liquidated, do
2:48:57 > 2:49:01see it as a failure?I think it is a matter of great regret that the
2:49:01 > 2:49:05company which had been very hopeful, that they had come to deal with
2:49:05 > 2:49:12their lenders, was unsuccessful in doing that. It could not be for
2:49:12 > 2:49:16taxpayers to come forward and bailout private sector risk. Our job
2:49:16 > 2:49:20as government was to protect the continuity of public services. That
2:49:20 > 2:49:25is where our focus remains. David Liddington, thank you. I feel
2:49:25 > 2:49:31we need to give Carol a proper introduction today. Oh, lovely Carol
2:49:31 > 2:49:37Kirkwood, pretty Carol Kirkwood we love you! That was fabulous. That
2:49:37 > 2:49:47was probably the best introduction I have ever had in my life! I am in
2:49:47 > 2:49:50front of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Why? Because Chris Evans on his
2:49:50 > 2:49:56Radio 2 show launched the competition 500 words. This is to
2:49:56 > 2:50:00encourage children to read and write more and they are encouraged to
2:50:00 > 2:50:05write 500 words of fiction and enter it into the competition. The closing
2:50:05 > 2:50:09date is Thursday 22nd of February and the live final will take place
2:50:09 > 2:50:15on Friday the 8th of June. That will happen at Hampton Court Palace
2:50:15 > 2:50:18Festival where you may see characters like Henry VIII and Anne
2:50:18 > 2:50:25Boleyn. Good morning. Don't they look fabulous? If you want to take
2:50:25 > 2:50:30part, you can find details on the BBC Radio to website and on Facebook
2:50:30 > 2:50:35as well. Some of the prizes for first prize include a spin in Chitty
2:50:35 > 2:50:41Chitty Bang Bang around the Hampton Court Palace Festival. But other
2:50:41 > 2:50:48things, the children will win Chris Evans' height in books for
2:50:48 > 2:50:53themselves and the children who come second and third will also win books
2:50:53 > 2:50:58for themselves and books for their school. So well worth getting
2:50:58 > 2:51:01involved in this. Hopefully, the weather on that day will be better
2:51:01 > 2:51:06than it is today. Today, what we have is a wet start for many of us.
2:51:06 > 2:51:10We have rain across the south-east with blustery winds and as the rain
2:51:10 > 2:51:16clears from the south-east, all of us will have a day of blustery
2:51:16 > 2:51:17showers.
2:51:21 > 2:51:26Increasingly through the day it will turn colder. In Scotland we have
2:51:26 > 2:51:33some showers and snow showers. Across the north of England we have
2:51:33 > 2:51:36showers and heavy bursts. In the south-east we have again heavy rain
2:51:36 > 2:51:40and gusty winds. That will move away to the near continent. For the rest
2:51:40 > 2:51:44of southern England, still some rain around, as there is a cross Wales
2:51:44 > 2:51:51but it is not a cold start to the day here. Temperatures are already
2:51:51 > 2:51:561011 selfies. The Northern Ireland you will find the rain has already
2:51:56 > 2:52:07cleared and there we have bright spells and Sunnis of -- 10-11dC.
2:52:07 > 2:52:10This morning temperatures will go down as we go through the course of
2:52:10 > 2:52:16the afternoon. All of us will see some blustery showers increasingly
2:52:16 > 2:52:21to lower levels across Scotland and then later across lower levels to
2:52:21 > 2:52:25Northern Ireland. It will be cold in the north. Temperatures are little
2:52:25 > 2:52:28higher as we come through the south. This evening and overnight we
2:52:28 > 2:52:33continue with snow at lower levels across Scotland, Northern Ireland
2:52:33 > 2:52:36and northern England. There will also be some winteriness in the
2:52:36 > 2:52:41showers
2:52:41 > 2:52:45showers across Wales and we could see them hail and it will be cold
2:52:45 > 2:52:50enough for the risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Tomorrow we
2:52:50 > 2:52:55start with snow across Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern
2:52:55 > 2:53:01England, starting to cumin eight. Almost anywhere tomorrow we could
2:53:01 > 2:53:05see some winteriness coming out of the showers. The further south you
2:53:05 > 2:53:09are the likelihood is it will be on the hills. Do expect some hail and
2:53:09 > 2:53:15also some thunder and lightning. Cold in the north, not as cold in
2:53:15 > 2:53:20the south. For Wednesday, drier, still a breezy day. Then we have an
2:53:20 > 2:53:27area of low pressure coming in from the west. It will bring some snowed
2:53:27 > 2:53:31in northern parts of the UK and possibly destructive winds across
2:53:31 > 2:53:34the West and south. That is something to keep an eye on the
2:53:34 > 2:53:40specially later on Wednesday into Thursday. What a pleasure it has
2:53:40 > 2:53:54been being here. I want to show you something. Listen to this.
2:53:55 > 2:54:00HORN TOOTS. Thank you, Carol!
2:54:05 > 2:54:08Joining us on the sofa to talk about the BBC Radio 2,
2:54:08 > 2:54:09500 words competition, are former Blue Peter presenters
2:54:09 > 2:54:17Barney Harwood and Helen Skelton and author Charlie Higson.
2:54:18 > 2:54:21Good morning, all. Thank you for joining us. I don't know where to
2:54:21 > 2:54:29start after all of that! 500 words is a short amount getting to a
2:54:29 > 2:54:33cracking story.Yes and writing things shorter can be so much
2:54:33 > 2:54:41harder. But I think it is good for a kid because it is not intimidating.
2:54:41 > 2:54:44They only have to write 500 words and as long as they think of it like
2:54:44 > 2:54:48a joke. It needs to pack a punch. You can really do that in 500 words.
2:54:48 > 2:54:51The kids to have written stories over the years have been so
2:54:51 > 2:54:59innovative in the way they have used the format and played with the idea.
2:54:59 > 2:55:01Some of them are truly brilliant. You have been involved right from
2:55:01 > 2:55:05the start and it has spiralled into this huge beast. Sam-macro three
2:55:05 > 2:55:08quarters of a million children have got in touch and written the
2:55:08 > 2:55:12stories. What we're doing is unlocking the imagination and saying
2:55:12 > 2:55:21you can do what you want. The genius that Chris Evans came up with the
2:55:21 > 2:55:28idea.You don't expect them, I don't know why you don't expect children
2:55:28 > 2:55:34to be able to do it.You think, I see what they did there.Some
2:55:34 > 2:55:42stories make you cry.And the stories get read out by really
2:55:42 > 2:55:46famous actors...And me occasionally!Don't do yourself
2:55:46 > 2:55:50down! It is wonderful hearing them, isn't
2:55:50 > 2:55:56it?And I think it has got so big and they are of such good quality
2:55:56 > 2:56:02which is why BBC Learning have launched this live lesson. Charlie
2:56:02 > 2:56:06is involved, we have Madelyn Harris from Paddington and all teachers
2:56:06 > 2:56:12have to do is log on to the website and they can watch it.We are your
2:56:12 > 2:56:18teachers for the day effectively.In terms of tips, we have also got, the
2:56:18 > 2:56:22idea is about how to write a good book from David Walliams who I think
2:56:22 > 2:56:30knows a thing or two. I think he has the top five in the world.
2:56:30 > 2:56:33The top tip I'd say to you is write the kind of story that
2:56:33 > 2:56:34you would like to read.
2:56:34 > 2:56:37And you can't make other people laugh unless you
2:56:37 > 2:56:37make yourself laugh.
2:56:37 > 2:56:40So, if you're sat there chuckling as you're writing your story,
2:56:40 > 2:56:41you're on to something good.
2:56:41 > 2:56:44If you're coming up with a scary story and you yourself
2:56:44 > 2:56:46are scared by what's going on in your imagination,
2:56:46 > 2:56:51you're on to something good.
2:56:51 > 2:56:57Absolutely. So while you are here, having written a good few books
2:56:57 > 2:57:03yourself, top tips?That is what I love as children Potter author,
2:57:03 > 2:57:11being by David Walliams! -- as a children's author. What was the
2:57:11 > 2:57:17question?Give us some top tips on how to write this.The thing is is
2:57:17 > 2:57:21to enjoy it. What I love about this competition is it is not something
2:57:21 > 2:57:25you have to do for school, it is something to do for fun. The ones we
2:57:25 > 2:57:30love reading the most are the ones where you can tell the kid has had a
2:57:30 > 2:57:34lot of fun writing the story and coming up with ideas. You don't have
2:57:34 > 2:57:41to worry about spelling and punctuation, just
2:57:49 > 2:57:51tell a great little story and have fun and entertain someone.There
2:57:51 > 2:57:54will be some children who will do this as part of lets all write a
2:57:54 > 2:57:57story together, and you can feel anxious. It does not have to be the
2:57:57 > 2:58:00greatest story in the world, it is about letting your imagination flow
2:58:00 > 2:58:03a bit?There are no right or wrong answers. We were talking about what
2:58:03 > 2:58:08is a great end or a great beginning? Anything goes. Some of the
2:58:08 > 2:58:14successful ones have been a bit quirky. One was a series of e-mails
2:58:14 > 2:58:20or text. Anything goes and you cannot go wrong.It all starts with
2:58:20 > 2:58:26one idea. Just drop that idea down and draw the lines of it and see
2:58:26 > 2:58:35where it goes. We have a machine called a fabulator and it put words
2:58:35 > 2:58:41on the screen. You can get ideas from anywhere.He has got a set with
2:58:41 > 2:58:49toys in it.And costumes!And tell us about the prizes, they are
2:58:49 > 2:58:57wonderful prizes.It is £1 million first prize!I think it is books.
2:58:57 > 2:59:03You win your height in books or Chris Evans' height in books and
2:59:03 > 2:59:11also the Duchess of Cornwall.It is all in Hampton Court and you get to
2:59:11 > 2:59:16drive in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, you get the on the Thames.And it is
2:59:16 > 2:59:23a great day.It is fantastic and it is all done live on Chris's show.
2:59:23 > 2:59:26And there are fantastic actors to read the stories, and you can see
2:59:26 > 2:59:31that the kids just love it.And I think the parents love it as well.
2:59:31 > 2:59:36Everyone is proud of their kid's picture or drawing, but to hear your
2:59:36 > 2:59:42child's story read out on national radio by an award-winning actor.And
2:59:42 > 2:59:45I suppose back on the day when it started, I know some people have it
2:59:45 > 2:59:52as part of lessons but in the beginning it was not like that?
2:59:52 > 2:59:57It wasn't so much Chris's work that got it to where it is, it was the
2:59:57 > 3:00:02children that picked it up and went, we can do this, they want us to. It
3:00:02 > 3:00:05has gone mad.We are encouraging teachers to log on and watch it on
3:00:05 > 3:00:09the website. It doesn't have to be in a classroom, you can do it after
3:00:09 > 3:00:16home after school. You go on the live lessons website.How old were
3:00:16 > 3:00:20you when you started writing?Nine or ten.Did you choose to do it.I
3:00:20 > 3:00:26loved it. The idea you could take a pen and paper and you could make up
3:00:26 > 3:00:30something that had hasn't existed before. Storied that never been
3:00:30 > 3:00:36told, I thought that was a kind of magic and I still do.You have
3:00:36 > 3:00:40written books as well. No, Iread, them.Less successfully than
3:00:40 > 3:00:49Charlie.Is it the seed of an idea. I rambled and rambled and the
3:00:49 > 3:00:53publisher was like, no you need to put it into one, let us slim this
3:00:53 > 3:00:59down. It goes and I think the hardest thing for me was finding an
3:00:59 > 3:01:07ending, so'sI have had a good idea for a book, it is about a granny who
3:01:07 > 3:01:10steals the Crown jewels from the Tower of London. She is a bit of a
3:01:10 > 3:01:15gangster...I think someone has... Last night we saw what the Crown
3:01:15 > 3:01:21jewels looked like, if anybody was watching the Queen talking about...
3:01:21 > 3:01:27She was throwing them round like she owns them. Radio 2's story writing
3:01:27 > 3:01:33competition opens today. Entries close... On 22nd February,
3:01:33 > 3:01:39full details can be found on the 500 words 2018 website. Thank you for

3:01:40 > 3:01:41Thank you for coming in.
3:01:41 > 3:01:44In a few moments, we'll be joined by Freddie Flintoff,
3:01:44 > 3:01:46Robbie Savage and the Ping Pong guy, Matthew Syed.
3:01:46 > 3:01:48First though, let's take a last, brief look at the headlines
3:01:48 > 3:03:33where you are this morning.
3:03:43 > 3:03:45It's a simple concept.
3:03:45 > 3:03:46A former cricketer, an ex-footballer and a table-tennis-player
3:03:46 > 3:03:49turned sports-writer come together to discuss some of the biggest
3:03:49 > 3:03:50sporting issues of the week.
3:03:50 > 3:03:57Yet, "Flintoff, Savage and the Ping Pong Guy" has become
3:03:57 > 3:04:01a multi-award winning podcast.
3:04:01 > 3:04:04It includes a healthy dose of fun but - covering everything from life
3:04:04 > 3:04:06on other planets to depression amongst sportspeople -
3:04:06 > 3:04:08the hosts aren't afraid to tackle more difficult subjects too.
3:04:08 > 3:04:11In a moment, we'll speak to the men behind the show -
3:04:11 > 3:04:13Andrew Flintoff, Robbie Savage and Matthew Syed.
3:04:13 > 3:04:20But first here's a taste.
3:04:22 > 3:04:26Do you think there are aliens, like, hanging round?
3:04:26 > 3:04:28Why wouldn't there be?
3:04:28 > 3:04:30Hang on, there's aliens walking around now.
3:04:30 > 3:04:33What, do you think there is a chance that Robbie is an alien?
3:04:33 > 3:04:35He's different, but I wouldn't say he's an alien.
3:04:35 > 3:04:38The person who has severe mental illness, and has done for 30 years,
3:04:38 > 3:04:40over 30 years, won't publicly talk about it.
3:04:40 > 3:04:48So I can't talk about it, this person.
3:04:52 > 3:04:54Why is it so expensive to watch football?
3:04:54 > 3:04:56I agree with that, I agree with that.
3:04:56 > 3:04:57Bring the prices down.
3:04:57 > 3:04:58Bring them down.
3:04:58 > 3:05:00But that guy, that guy in the white van...
3:05:00 > 3:05:03Don't charge £6 for a pint and £14 for a burger and a dodgy pie.
3:05:03 > 3:05:04Make it inclusive.
3:05:04 > 3:05:05Bring your family.
3:05:05 > 3:05:07I agree.
3:05:07 > 3:05:08I'll never forgive myself.
3:05:08 > 3:05:12I've not told this to many people, but you know they used to go
3:05:12 > 3:05:14every day to Wrexham, and that day, I wasn't
3:05:14 > 3:05:15there, you know...
3:05:15 > 3:05:20I'll never forgive myself for that.
3:05:20 > 3:05:22Joining us on the sofa now are Andrew Flintoff,
3:05:22 > 3:05:27Robbie Savage and Matthew Syed.
3:05:27 > 3:05:33I was running through your awards. Who knows, how many have brow got?
3:05:33 > 3:05:35Three, two for the show, one individually for Andrew and best new
3:05:35 > 3:05:42presenter.I'm 40! Best new presenter!And worse he doesn't
3:05:42 > 3:05:47present the show. I knew there are would be sore feelings about it.We
3:05:47 > 3:05:53are meant to be a team.You don't want to start the new series with
3:05:53 > 3:05:59awkwardness.It is about 75% of the show, I enjoy, is conflict. Mainly
3:05:59 > 3:06:06between Fred and Robbie. Robbie gets hammered a lot.You two shop at
3:06:06 > 3:06:12different places. He is looking great and you have just got off your
3:06:12 > 3:06:20yacht.At least a made an effort. Last time you were on you were
3:06:20 > 3:06:27ripping it out of him because you say he wore the wrong shirt, the
3:06:27 > 3:06:33podcast was you caning him.He had a light blue shirt, the biggest sweat
3:06:33 > 3:06:38patch upon the next hour we were trying to say Matthew, you looked
3:06:38 > 3:06:45all right.Mike, the producer, a brilliant producer consummate
3:06:45 > 3:06:51professional. Freddie is with in one of those moods. He got hammered. But
3:06:51 > 3:06:58there is nice stuff on the show too. I glad you mentioned about life on
3:06:58 > 3:07:04other planet, the flat earth.We did one of the pods, I love a conspiracy
3:07:04 > 3:07:09theory, so we did conspiracy theory, I listened to a podcast called the
3:07:09 > 3:07:12flat earther, if you listen to them they will convince you the world is
3:07:12 > 3:07:18flat. It is brilliant. I had come off the back of a flat earth podcast
3:07:18 > 3:07:24thinking the world is flat. It was their conspiracy, all of a sudden
3:07:24 > 3:07:29I'm a flat earther.I am glad you have made that clear.I think it is
3:07:29 > 3:07:34morph a turnip.I spent a bit of time listening to your ashes
3:07:34 > 3:07:39forecasts.They went very good. Shall we have than. To remind you in
3:07:39 > 3:07:49case you can't remember.We will lose at the Gabba, the pink ball.
3:07:49 > 3:07:55That will suit England.We will get beat in Perth. Fast and bouncy, then
3:07:55 > 3:08:02we will win in Melbourne and Sydney. 3-2.It's highbrow stuff isn't it.
3:08:02 > 3:08:07It is all about opinion, you have to throw them out there.I think the
3:08:07 > 3:08:12world is flat. But I didn't see much of the Ashes. But, let us be honest
3:08:12 > 3:08:17we got outplayed. That was plain and simple. A lot people put different
3:08:17 > 3:08:24reasons why we got beat, we weren't good enough. But, you know what, it
3:08:24 > 3:08:27takes the heat off me getting 5-0 as Captain. I took the blame for that.
3:08:27 > 3:08:33I am not having that any more.How do you come up with the ideas? You
3:08:33 > 3:08:40discuss all sort of things.It is a broad range, we have done mental
3:08:40 > 3:08:43health, conspiracy theory, we talked about the one time in hiss triwe
3:08:43 > 3:08:48would most like to go back and see, I chose going back and seeing Jesus
3:08:48 > 3:08:53Christ, it would be fascinating, Freddie came up with another time,
3:08:53 > 3:08:57decided he wanted to go back to the Wild West, wear a stet son and go
3:08:57 > 3:09:04into a bar.Butch Cassidy type. That would have suited you.I said I
3:09:04 > 3:09:07wanted to see horses.You can see them without travelling back in
3:09:07 > 3:09:13time.I understand that, I thought about being a cowboy, I can see them
3:09:13 > 3:09:20where I live.Robbie is like the executive producer, Robbie it is
3:09:20 > 3:09:26fair to say he is on the phone all the time, perhaps slightly too much,
3:09:26 > 3:09:30on the whats an group, triggering ideas, if he is worried that it
3:09:30 > 3:09:34might cross the line, he is on the phone to a lawyer, would this be
3:09:34 > 3:09:38defamatory, he is all over it.You have to be careful.He is the one
3:09:38 > 3:09:44who drives it.He does.When we started the podcast, we enjoyed
3:09:44 > 3:09:50doing it. We never expected the how popular, working with Rob, and we
3:09:50 > 3:09:55never expected awards or anything like that, because it will honest
3:09:55 > 3:10:00doing it is enough. Out of all the stuff I do I enjoy, we turn up, talk
3:10:00 > 3:10:06for a lot.He is does a lot.That is great thing, when you start
3:10:06 > 3:10:09listening you never know the trekkion it is going to go in.I
3:10:09 > 3:10:14don't think we do to be honest.That is part of the magic. Will you touch
3:10:14 > 3:10:18on Wales today and Ryan Giggs, this afternoon should be unveiled as the
3:10:18 > 3:10:25new manager.It is a sore subject, he thought he was going to get it.
3:10:25 > 3:10:29Well I didn't Andrew, I think it will be a fantastic appointment.
3:10:29 > 3:10:33People saying he didn't play that many friendlies for his country,
3:10:33 > 3:10:38but, he was a passionate Welshman, no doubt about it. Mark Hughes's
3:10:38 > 3:10:43first job had no experience, he was playing for Southampton when he got
3:10:43 > 3:10:48the job, he took the job are and did well. His first opportunity as a
3:10:48 > 3:10:53Welsh manager. I think he will be good. He was my Captain, and he has
3:10:53 > 3:10:56an aura about him, for the youngster, they will listen to him.
3:10:56 > 3:11:02He has been there, done it. It is a fantastic appointment.That could be
3:11:02 > 3:11:06a good topic, my sense is players get to the end of their careers and
3:11:06 > 3:11:10they assume because they have been good players and Giggs one of the
3:11:10 > 3:11:14greatest, they can transition into being a great coach. My sense is by
3:11:14 > 3:11:20and large coaching is a different set of skill, you have to empathise
3:11:20 > 3:11:25be people, explain stuff. Fred and Rob are nodding off at this point.I
3:11:25 > 3:11:31wish you could have seen that. I wish we could have seen you having a
3:11:31 > 3:11:39snuggle on the sofa. At that point you lose concentration do you.
3:11:39 > 3:11:45That's when he gets edited out.I like the psychology, I am with you.
3:11:45 > 3:11:48And these two, they do get, that I get into that part of it, you know,
3:11:48 > 3:11:54some of the stuff I have learned like parenting, we talked about
3:11:54 > 3:11:57parenting, I have younger kids than Rob and Fred, but how do you
3:11:57 > 3:12:02encourage your kids to be in to sport, and to, but not to push them,
3:12:02 > 3:12:09no to take the fun out of sport.We are on the podcast as well.
3:12:09 > 3:12:12Something else, sad news, get your take on this, talking about the
3:12:12 > 3:12:17death of Cyrille Regis at the age of 59. He is someone who was a
3:12:17 > 3:12:20trailblazer, one of the first generation of black footballers and
3:12:20 > 3:12:24had a real impact, not just on football but across sport. It was so
3:12:24 > 3:12:29racially abused in the '70s, and way he spoke about in his later career,
3:12:29 > 3:12:34he was important for so many other footballers.That was a big
3:12:34 > 3:12:39watershed, no just in sport, I went to the first game that a black
3:12:39 > 3:12:43player played for England, Viv Anderson in 1978. Cyrille Regis was
3:12:43 > 3:12:47in that cohort of player who took terrible abuse from the strands, --
3:12:47 > 3:12:51stands and had to show resilience and grace to get through it and to
3:12:51 > 3:12:58excel as a flawer. I am from an ethnic minority background. They
3:12:58 > 3:13:02were massively important not just in sporting terms but cultural terms.
3:13:02 > 3:13:07It is sad news, he is an icon, that goal I think was goal of the season
3:13:07 > 3:13:13in 1981, 82. What a player, he will sorely missed.A legend in the
3:13:13 > 3:13:20Midland but loved across the football family.A remarkable guy,
3:13:20 > 3:13:23great footballer and I think that, I think football has been powerful.
3:13:23 > 3:13:27The amount of people who flay football from knit minority
3:13:27 > 3:13:30background, this is a symbolic thing, he will be remembered as a
3:13:30 > 3:13:36pioneer.Thank you all. You are off to go and record it shortly.
3:13:36 > 3:13:36Right now.
3:13:36 > 3:13:37Right now.
3:13:37 > 3:13:40The next episode of "Flintoff, Savage and the Ping Pong Guy"
3:13:40 > 3:13:43will be available later today.
3:13:43 > 3:13:48That it is from us, we will be back tomorrow, from six, thank you
3:13:48 > 3:13:53gentlemen,
