Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:00:070:00:12

Crunch time for Carillion -

emergency talks continue

0:00:120:00:14

to save the construction giant

who runs 900 schools,

0:00:140:00:17

highways and prisons.

0:00:170:00:17

But critics say warnings

about the firm's financial

0:00:170:00:20

troubles were ignored.

0:00:200:00:28

I'll be looking at what it means for

the 20,000 UK workers and projects

0:00:310:00:38

like HS2.

0:00:380:00:43

Good morning, it's

Monday 15th January.

0:00:450:00:47

Also this morning -

0:00:470:00:54

Under pressure - UKIP leader,

Henry Bolton, faces calls to quit,

0:00:540:00:57

after his girlfriend

made racist remarks

0:00:570:00:59

about Prince Harry's fiancee.

0:00:590:01:04

Inside the world's largest

refugee camp in Bangladesh,

0:01:040:01:06

where hundreds of thousands

of Rohingya refugees have fled

0:01:060:01:08

violence in Myanmar.

0:01:080:01:15

In sport -

its Giggs for Wales.

0:01:150:01:17

The Manchester United legend will be

named the new national coach later -

0:01:170:01:20

replacing Chris Coleman.

0:01:200:01:21

And Carol has the weather.

0:01:210:01:25

Good morning from outside the BBC

here in London. I will tell you why

0:01:250:01:30

you're a here as a go through the

morning but in the weather, while we

0:01:300:01:33

have a band of heavy rain and strong

winds, behind it, we have lost three

0:01:330:01:37

showers, some of which will be

wintry in the hills in the north. --

0:01:370:01:42

blustery.

0:01:420:01:47

Crucial talks are due to take place

between creditors and government

0:01:470:01:51

officials later in an attempt to

save one of Britain's biggest

0:01:510:01:55

construction -- construction firms.

Karelian is involved in HS2 and

0:01:550:01:59

crossrail and it has £900 million of

debts. -- Carillion.

0:01:590:02:06

From schools, hospitals, prisons,

roads, railways and the National

0:02:060:02:10

Grid. Carillion is at the greed of

the vast portfolio of public sector

0:02:100:02:15

construction projects and

maintenance services. But it is in

0:02:150:02:19

deep financial trouble. Problems are

broad and spiralling costs on some

0:02:190:02:23

major here mean it is struggling to

manage debts of around £900 million.

0:02:230:02:30

And attention deficit of over half a

billion. The banks that Karelian

0:02:300:02:34

owes money to will meet government

officials today at Whitehall --

0:02:340:02:38

Carillion. They will be trying to

avoid administration. They want the

0:02:380:02:44

government to guarantee money if

Carillion can't make its payments

0:02:440:02:47

but in fact, that would be bailing

out a private company, one that had

0:02:470:02:51

been paying out dividends to its

shareholder was as recently as last

0:02:510:02:55

June. -- shareholders. With hundreds

and thousands of subcontractors

0:02:550:03:01

working on Carillion projects, the

effects of the firm going under

0:03:010:03:04

could be devastating.

0:03:040:03:07

So much to chat about. We know the

talks are ongoing, Steph. How did

0:03:070:03:13

they get into this situation?

It is

interesting because it is a huge

0:03:130:03:19

company that runs so many different

parts of our lives, hospitals,

0:03:190:03:22

schools, as I was saying. Also big

construction projects. The problem

0:03:220:03:27

is, there is not as much money to be

made in these areas now. When these

0:03:270:03:31

companies are fighting for

government projects, they will often

0:03:310:03:34

put in pretty low margins in order

to be able to do it. If anything

0:03:340:03:38

goes wrong in those projects, it

means that if there is any delays,

0:03:380:03:43

which they have been in some of the

big ones, like the Royal Liverpool

0:03:430:03:47

Hospital, it can mean they don't

have enough money to keep things

0:03:470:03:50

going because they are not making a

massive amount of money any more.

0:03:500:03:54

They have seen big projects not make

as much money because of delays and

0:03:540:04:00

various other things. Also some of

their contracts abroad. In the

0:04:000:04:05

Middle East, they have been slow

getting payments from that. It is

0:04:050:04:09

their cash flow. This is not a

business that does not have any

0:04:090:04:13

business. It not like when sometimes

we talk about retailers and they

0:04:130:04:16

have lost customers. It is the fact

they have not managed their cash

0:04:160:04:20

flow. They haven't got the money now

to be able to pay the debts so they

0:04:200:04:25

owe the banks a lot of money and the

banks have been kind to them already

0:04:250:04:29

recently by allowing them to not

have too pay them so fast. It is

0:04:290:04:33

coming to the point where everyone

is going, hang on a minute, we have

0:04:330:04:37

given the ages. What are you doing

about it, we are still struggling to

0:04:370:04:41

get our money back. That is the

issue. Even though there are lots of

0:04:410:04:45

talks going on to work out whether

they can afford to make these

0:04:450:04:49

payments, the banks will be asking

for a bit of a commitment from the

0:04:490:04:52

government but then the alarm bells

started ringing, are we bailing out

0:04:520:04:56

another company? Will that cost the

taxpayer? .

Plenty more detail on

0:04:560:05:02

that throughout the morning.

0:05:020:05:04

There's mounting pressure this

morning on the UKIP leader,

0:05:040:05:06

Henry Bolton, to resign.

0:05:060:05:07

It's after his girlfriend,

Jo Marney, was suspended

0:05:070:05:09

from the party for making racist

remarks about Prince Harry's

0:05:090:05:12

fiancee, Meghan Markle.

0:05:120:05:13

Our political correspondent,

Iain Watson, joins us from

0:05:130:05:15

Westminster.

0:05:150:05:15

Iain, is Mr Bolton

likely to stand down?

0:05:150:05:21

Hopefully we speak to Mr Bolton in

half an hour. Will he be likely to

0:05:210:05:26

stand down?

So far, he has remained

defiant. He says no, he won't go. Of

0:05:260:05:32

course, Henry Bolton who was only

elected as leader of UKIP last

0:05:320:05:36

September, he wanted the party to

refocus on Brexit. Since then, it

0:05:360:05:42

has been his personal life all over

the papers. The most recent incident

0:05:420:05:45

where those remarks by his

girlfriend Jo Marney suggesting that

0:05:450:05:48

Mick and Michael Will Paynter the

Royal family. She has apologised. --

0:05:480:05:56

Meghan Markle will taint. There are

a couple of current MEPs saying he

0:05:560:06:09

should consider his position. One

thing for certain, he has come back

0:06:090:06:12

a couple of times before but we are

told that Nigel Farage is not up for

0:06:120:06:19

another go at leadership this time.

0:06:190:06:22

We'll be speaking to Henry Bolton

in just over half an hour.

0:06:220:06:25

The government is being urged

to drop its target of reducing net

0:06:250:06:29

migration to the "tens

of thousands" a year,

0:06:290:06:31

because MPs say it "undermines"

trust in the state's ability

0:06:310:06:33

to control immigration.

0:06:330:06:34

A report from the home affairs

Committee also warns that a lack

0:06:340:06:38

of official data has allowed

anxiety over the number of people

0:06:380:06:40

illegally living in the UK

to grow "unchecked".

0:06:400:06:43

Our home affairs correspondent,

Danny Shaw, has more.

0:06:430:06:51

Britain is preparing to leave the

European Union and when it does,

0:06:510:06:55

there will be a new set of laws

about immigration from EU countries.

0:06:550:06:59

Some believe it is a chance to

reassess the government target on

0:06:590:07:03

net migration, set by David Cameron

eight years ago. Net migration is

0:07:030:07:07

the difference between a number of

people coming to live in the UK and

0:07:070:07:13

those leaving the country. It is

currently 230,000, more than double

0:07:130:07:16

the target in less than 100,000. A

target that has never been met.

The

0:07:160:07:23

problem with a target if it treats

all immigration the same and we have

0:07:230:07:28

seen strong evidence that people

think different kinds of migration

0:07:280:07:31

should be treated differently and

you certainly shouldn't have a

0:07:310:07:34

student in the target. That is why

we think the whole target should be

0:07:340:07:38

replaced by a new framework.

In its

report, the home affairs Committee

0:07:380:07:44

makes recommendations to resolve

confidence in the immigration system

0:07:440:07:46

and it says that the government

should challenge myths. It calls for

0:07:460:07:52

a three-year migration plan to build

consensus. It also says an official

0:07:520:07:57

estimate of illegal immigration is

needed to reassure people the issue

0:07:570:08:00

is being taken seriously.

People

want to see migrants contribute

0:08:000:08:06

through the work, the skills they

bring. They also want a system that

0:08:060:08:11

is competently controlled.

The Home

Office says it remains committed to

0:08:110:08:21

reducing migration to sustainable

levels. The department says Bates

0:08:210:08:24

nature it is not possible to produce

an estimate. -- by its nature.

0:08:240:08:31

President Trump has

denied being a racist -

0:08:310:08:33

as a row continues over offensive

language he allegedly used

0:08:330:08:36

to describe immigrants

from Haiti and Africa.

0:08:360:08:38

He is accused of using

the word during a private

0:08:380:08:40

meeting on immigration

in the White House.

0:08:400:08:42

In his first direct response

to accusations of racism,

0:08:420:08:45

Donald Trump told reporters he had

not made the comments.

0:08:450:08:51

No.

0:08:510:08:51

No, I'm not a racist.

0:08:510:08:52

I'm the least racist person

you have ever interviewed,

0:08:520:08:55

that I can tell you.

0:08:550:08:58

A cross-part group of MP's

are launching an inquiry

0:09:060:09:08

into what more can be done to tackle

sexual harrassment in public places,

0:09:080:09:12

such as on the street

and in bars and clubs.

0:09:120:09:14

Research by YouGov suggests 85%

of women between 18 and 24 years

0:09:140:09:21

have experienced unwanted sexual

attention in public.

0:09:210:09:23

The Women and Equalities Committee

says it wants to understand why it

0:09:230:09:27

happens and establish what can be

done to combat the problem.

0:09:270:09:30

A leading charity is claiming

thousands of parents in England

0:09:300:09:34

are struggling to pay nursery fees,

because of problems accessing

0:09:340:09:37

a government website.

0:09:370:09:40

The Pre-school Learning Alliance

says glitches on the HMRC

0:09:400:09:43

site mean some parents are missing

out on their right to 30 hours free

0:09:430:09:46

childcare or tax breaks.

0:09:460:09:54

But the government says fewer

than 2% of parents who have opened

0:09:550:09:58

accounts had encountered problems.

0:09:580:10:00

Representatives from North

and South Korea are meeting

0:10:000:10:02

to discuss details of the North's

participation in next month's Winter

0:10:020:10:05

Olympics.

0:10:050:10:05

Talks are being held

inside the demilitarised zone

0:10:050:10:07

between the two countries.

0:10:070:10:08

Our correspondent,

Sophie Long, is in Seoul -

0:10:080:10:10

has any progress been made?

0:10:100:10:18

Louise, these talks this morning

have very narrow focus and that is

0:10:210:10:26

the artistic troupe that North Korea

says it wants to send to the Winter

0:10:260:10:30

Olympics which get under way in the

south next month. Details of the

0:10:300:10:34

size of that delegation, potentially

how they will travel to South Korea

0:10:340:10:39

and the exact performance schedule

as well. Last week, we saw

0:10:390:10:43

government level talks taking place

at the talks today are also

0:10:430:10:47

happening. Today, on the north side

but on the south side last week. The

0:10:470:10:53

delegation is different this time.

There is a member of the lead singer

0:10:530:10:59

of a North Korean girl band present.

Very different level of talks. We

0:10:590:11:05

have also had a separate level of

development. They are talking about

0:11:050:11:13

other aspects of their attendance at

the Olympics next month. That will

0:11:130:11:16

take place on the 17th of January.

Wednesday and again on Saturday,

0:11:160:11:22

talks taking place in the IRC about

the number of athletes and

0:11:220:11:29

competitors that will attend.

Today's talks, just one level of

0:11:290:11:33

many working level talks to take

place in the run-up to the Winter

0:11:330:11:41

Olympics in that North Korea will

send a delegation.

0:11:410:11:45

If you have a fear of flying

you might want to look away now.

0:11:450:11:49

These are the incredible

pictures of the aftermath

0:11:490:11:51

of an incident at

an airport in Turkey.

0:11:510:11:54

Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7 lost

control, before skidding off

0:11:540:11:57

the runway, plunging over a cliff

and coming to rest just before

0:11:570:12:00

hitting the sea.

0:12:000:12:01

Pictures taken from inside

the plane have also

0:12:010:12:04

emerged - giving us an insight

into the reaction of passengers

0:12:040:12:07

inside the aircraft.

0:12:070:12:08

Incredibly, all of the 168

passengers and crew

0:12:080:12:10

escaped without injury.

0:12:100:12:18

Just... Terrifying. Meters away from

being in the sea. Incredibly, they

0:12:210:12:30

all got away. Don't understand why

all how it stopped.

0:12:300:12:39

We are also hit to look at the day's

sport. -- why or how. I remember

0:12:390:12:51

saying Ryan

0:12:510:12:56

saying Ryan Giggs was in there. He

hasn't got any manager experience,

0:12:580:13:02

he is not interested in playing for

Wales. They say! Here he is now,

0:13:020:13:09

about to be unveiled as the Wales

manager. It has had a mixed

0:13:090:13:14

response.

0:13:140:13:16

There's a press conference

scheduled for this afternoon,

0:13:160:13:18

where Ryan Giggs is

expected to be named

0:13:180:13:20

as the new manager of Wales.

0:13:200:13:22

He succeeds Chris Coleman,

who stood down in November.

0:13:220:13:24

It'll be his first full-time

job in management -

0:13:240:13:27

he took charge of Manchester United

for four games in 2014,

0:13:270:13:30

after David Moyes was sacked.

0:13:300:13:31

Manchester City have been

beaten for the first time

0:13:310:13:34

in the Premier League this season -

they lost 4-3 at Liverpool -

0:13:340:13:37

City manager Pep Guardiola said

they'd learned good lessons -

0:13:370:13:40

and they're still 15 points clear

at the top of the table.

0:13:400:13:43

Britain's Kyle Edmund has claimed

the biggest win of his career,

0:13:430:13:46

beating Kevin Anderson in five

sets to reach the second

0:13:460:13:49

round of the Australian

Open in Melbourne.

0:13:490:13:51

Anderson was the 11th seed,

and reached the final of the US Open

0:13:510:13:54

in September.

0:13:540:13:55

And there was a major shock

at the UK Masters Snooker -

0:13:550:14:01

world number one Mark Selby has been

knocked out in the first round,

0:14:010:14:04

losing in a final-frame

decider to Mark Williams.

0:14:040:14:06

Selby was also eliminated early

in the UK Championship last month.

0:14:060:14:14

You going to hang around?

0:14:160:14:22

It's windy where you are, Carol,

isn't it?

0:14:240:14:31

It certainly is, good morning,

everyone. It is windy and wet for us

0:14:310:14:36

this morning, the wind and the rain

clearing into the North Sea through

0:14:360:14:39

the course of the day followed by

some blustery showers. The showers

0:14:390:14:43

across the north of the country will

be wintry in nature, but at this

0:14:430:14:48

stage mostly high ground. As we

start the forecast at 9am, in

0:14:480:14:51

Scotland we have some snow showers,

as I mentioned, mostly at high

0:14:510:14:55

ground that this stage. Later in the

day we will see them at higher

0:14:550:14:59

levels, and some dry and bright

conditions. Living in the northern

0:14:590:15:03

England, a plethora of showers, some

of them merging so we will see some

0:15:030:15:07

heavy ones at times. That continue

southwards through the Midlands,

0:15:070:15:11

East Anglia, and the south-east

quarter generally. This is where we

0:15:110:15:14

have the rain and the stronger

winds, continuing to push into the

0:15:140:15:18

south-east. In towards the

south-west, a wet start for you as

0:15:180:15:23

well, as it is across Wales. Not

that he could be cold this morning,

0:15:230:15:27

though, still quite blustery. -- not

particularly cold. As we head into

0:15:270:15:32

Northern Ireland, some dry weather

for you this morning, but there

0:15:320:15:35

still are some showers. That is

going to change. As we head through

0:15:350:15:39

the course of the day, what you will

find is increasingly the snow

0:15:390:15:43

showers will come down to lower

levels across Scotland, and later on

0:15:430:15:48

in the day into Northern Ireland.

The rain pushes away from the

0:15:480:15:52

south-east, with its strongest

winds, but high but there will be a

0:15:520:15:56

lot of blustery showers around.

Already we are in the colder in the

0:15:560:16:00

north of the country, hence the snow

getting into lower levels, but in

0:16:000:16:04

the south we are hanging on by the

skin of our teeth. Through the day

0:16:040:16:08

you will find that as the cold air

penetrates further south the

0:16:080:16:11

temperature will tend to drop. As we

head through the evening and

0:16:110:16:14

overnight, the snow levels

increasingly getting down to lower

0:16:140:16:17

levels across Scotland, Northern

Ireland and northern England. You

0:16:170:16:20

could cease no further south across

the south Wales and south-west

0:16:200:16:24

England, but that will generally be

with height. So tonight there is the

0:16:240:16:28

risk of ice on untreated surfaces as

well. Cold in the north, not as cold

0:16:280:16:32

as we come further south. Tomorrow

morning we will start to see the

0:16:320:16:37

snow accumulate, especially across

Scotland and Northern Ireland, but

0:16:370:16:40

also to a lesser extent across

northern England. Still, any snow we

0:16:400:16:44

see in the south will tend to be on

higher ground. But there will be a

0:16:440:16:49

lot of showers around, and some of

those will have hail and thunder

0:16:490:16:52

embedded in them. And we are looking

at strong winds and gales in the

0:16:520:16:56

south-west. Still blustery day, a

lot of dry weather on Wednesday, but

0:16:560:17:00

you can see what is coming in the

west, initially in the shape of

0:17:000:17:04

rain. This is because of an area of

low pressure coming our way and at

0:17:040:17:07

the moment it looks like on its

northern flank we could see some

0:17:070:17:11

disruptive snow and on its western

and southern flank we could see some

0:17:110:17:15

disruptive wind. If you are

travelling, that is something

0:17:150:17:18

certainly to keep in touch with the

weather forecast for. So loads going

0:17:180:17:21

on as we enter this new working

week.

There really is, take

0:17:210:17:26

on as we enter this new working

week.

There really is, take care. We

0:17:260:17:26

will see you later. Let's have a

look at some of the papers, and

0:17:260:17:31

start with the Daily Mail, has we

0:17:310:17:35

look at some of the papers, and

start with the Daily Mail, has we

0:17:350:17:35

will be speaking

0:17:350:17:36

start with the Daily Mail, has we

will be speaking to the UKIP leader,

0:17:360:17:37

Mr Henry Bolton, at 6:40am this

morning. He is on the front page of

0:17:370:17:42

the papers with his girlfriend, and

many people saying in the party he

0:17:420:17:46

needs to choose between being party

leader and his girlfriend, so we

0:17:460:17:50

will put that question to him later

on. The main story, Facebook

0:17:500:17:57

peddling drugs to children on social

media. The Telegraph leads with

0:17:570:18:01

patients' data, the data of cancer

victims given to affirm representing

0:18:010:18:11

one of the world's biggest tobacco

companies. I was just going to

0:18:110:18:16

mention...

This can be your

addition, job!

I will never get your

0:18:160:18:22

job, you are very, very good at it.

And on the front page, they are

0:18:220:18:29

talking about Carillion, and I am

sure Steph will give you details in

0:18:290:18:35

a moment. The front page of the

Times, I mentioned the flight in

0:18:350:18:41

Turkey slipping down into the water.

This is the picture on the front

0:18:410:18:45

page of the Times this morning.

Thankfully all 162 passengers

0:18:450:18:49

escaped the plane fire. There was

water on the runway, it slipped and

0:18:490:18:53

careered down here and somehow

stopped, and everybody got off

0:18:530:18:57

safely. There is footage from on the

plane as well. Ministers dismissed

0:18:570:19:01

warnings on failing firm, again

talking about Carillion on the front

0:19:010:19:06

of the Times.

Are you auditioning

for her job now?

And on the front

0:19:060:19:12

page of the papers, a picture of

Ant, he is getting divorced.

I

0:19:120:19:22

couldn't see it, I was just having a

look to see what you are showing,

0:19:220:19:26

thank you! What have you got there?

Well, we are talking about

0:19:260:19:32

Carillion, such a big deal, such a

huge company. 20,000 people working

0:19:320:19:37

for them. But the biggest thing is,

if you think of that one company,

0:19:370:19:41

there are so many supplier companies

who are owed money, for example, and

0:19:410:19:44

that is what the Telegraph is

talking about this morning. They are

0:19:440:19:48

saying that given things remain in

doubt at the moment, in terms of

0:19:480:19:52

what will happen for the future of

Carillion, obviously it is really

0:19:520:19:55

important to point out when

companies are struggling with money,

0:19:550:19:58

it doesn't mean everything suddenly

stops. So even if Carillion goes

0:19:580:20:03

into administration, there is

already a company in the wings, an

0:20:030:20:07

accountancy firm who are ready to

take over and carry on running that

0:20:070:20:11

this is. But it puts into doubt lots

of different things about the supply

0:20:110:20:15

companies, what will happen with

their contracts, with their

0:20:150:20:17

payments, with all the people who

work for them. That is the issue.

0:20:170:20:21

Tell me about the fun of the

Financial Times.

0:20:210:20:23

this is incredibly dangerous, but

Lloyd's of London, you know they

0:20:230:20:27

have the amazing Richard Rogers

building, apparently it is really

0:20:270:20:31

easy to climb.

Has pipes on the

outside, hasn't it?

They have had 20

0:20:310:20:37

people last year who managed to

climb to the top and get a photo

0:20:370:20:41

like this. And at the end of that

crane, I would say an idiot, getting

0:20:410:20:47

a picture. They spent more than

£80,000 on enhanced security to try

0:20:470:20:51

and stop people climbing to the top.

Just a couple of bits from me on the

0:20:510:20:55

sports pages. This is the start of

the Australian Open in Melbourne, so

0:20:550:20:59

a reminder for people who want to

watch the live sport that it is

0:20:590:21:03

happening down under. Roger Federer

saying he really shouldn't be

0:21:030:21:06

favourite at the age of 36, but

unfortunately, if you are Roger

0:21:060:21:10

Federer, you probably will be

favourite for every tournament you

0:21:100:21:14

enter until you retire. And some

good news in terms of European golf

0:21:140:21:18

in a Ryder Cup year. They have

lifted the Eurasia cup, which is

0:21:180:21:23

Europe against Asia, which as this

writer in the Daily Mail points out,

0:21:230:21:28

he says it is a bit like holding

aloft the charity shield in a season

0:21:280:21:32

when you are hoping to lift the

Champions League trophy. At some

0:21:320:21:36

good markers have been laid down for

European golf, in what will be a

0:21:360:21:40

huge year for the team ahead of the

Ryder Cup. So that is a lot to look

0:21:400:21:45

forward to.

Shall we have a little

bit of good news?

Yes.

This dog

0:21:450:21:50

called Morse went missing, and he

got stolen, he just nipped out...

He

0:21:500:21:57

may not have been stolen. He wasn't

stolen, was the whole point, he just

0:21:570:22:05

ran off.

They said two people put

him on the back of a van, but maybe

0:22:050:22:09

they got it wrong. Anyway, he is

back. That is the point of the

0:22:090:22:13

story. After several weeks, £10,000

reward, he is actually back with his

0:22:130:22:18

owner.

Morse is a good name for a

dog.

That is what I was going to

0:22:180:22:25

say.

We will do papers later on, I

will show you the UK's oldest ballet

0:22:250:22:30

dancer, and I will tell you a little

secret about the next series of the

0:22:300:22:35

Crown.

0:22:350:22:36

Since August of last year,

more than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims

0:22:360:22:39

have been forced to flee violence

and persecution in Myanmar.

0:22:390:22:42

The United Nations has described

the military offensive that provoked

0:22:420:22:44

the exodus as a textbook example

of ethnic cleansing.

0:22:440:22:47

Many have sought refuge

in neighbouring Bangladesh,

0:22:470:22:49

in what has become the world's

largest refugee camp.

0:22:490:22:51

Our South Asia correspondent,

Justin Rowlatt, is there

0:22:510:22:53

for us this morning.

0:22:530:22:54

What are conditions like?

0:22:540:23:02

Give us a look around, what is

happening there this morning?

Yes,

0:23:050:23:11

as you say, it is absolutely huge.

There are 800,000 refugees in total,

0:23:110:23:17

650,000 just in this refugee camp.

Take a look at this, you can see,

0:23:170:23:21

very densely populated. The biggest

refugee camp and also one of the

0:23:210:23:26

most densely populated, and these

shacks which were made when refugees

0:23:260:23:30

first arrived, with simple bamboo,

and covered in tarpaulins. There is

0:23:300:23:33

effectively an open sewer running in

the middle here, which is why

0:23:330:23:38

diseases such an issue. At the

moment they are battling an outbreak

0:23:380:23:43

of potentially fatal diphtheria.

Yesterday, or a couple of days ago,

0:23:430:23:46

I should say, I went out with a team

whose job it is to train track down

0:23:460:23:51

people who might have been infected,

and stop the disease spreading.

0:23:510:23:57

This boy is category red. He has a

serious diphtheria infection. This

0:23:570:24:03

bacterial disease blocks the

airways, and is often fatal if it

0:24:030:24:06

isn't treated. It is also highly

contagious. It is this Doctor's job

0:24:060:24:12

to try and stop the outbreak

spreading. He runs a team of

0:24:120:24:18

outreach workers when a diphtheria

case comes in. They work begins.

0:24:180:24:22

They trek through this giant refugee

camp, now the biggest in the world,

0:24:220:24:29

trying to find people who might have

been exposed to the disease. The

0:24:290:24:33

outreach workers can see up to ten

cases every day, which can mean a

0:24:330:24:38

lot of walking. So the challenge for

this team is to hunt down infection

0:24:380:24:45

and then stamp it out. The hunt

begins at the boy's home.

0:24:450:24:56

begins at the boy's home. Rita and

Repa need to take care. Close

0:25:020:25:04

contact can be dangerous even if you

have had the vaccination. Some

0:25:040:25:08

members of the medical team have

been infected.

0:25:080:25:19

been infected. They explain how

dangerous diphtheria can be, and

0:25:190:25:22

give everyone in the family

antibiotics. That. The disease

0:25:220:25:27

developing. Anyone who has been in

close contact with a patient for

0:25:270:25:31

more than an hour needs to be

treated. -- that will prevent the

0:25:310:25:38

disease developing. How dangerous is

it out here?

It is not as dangerous

0:25:380:25:42

for us, but it is dangerous for the

Rohingya community if they were not

0:25:420:25:46

vaccinated when they arrived.

So

what is happening now? Are you

0:25:460:25:50

getting this disease under control?

We hope we can control it through

0:25:500:25:53

vaccination, with preventative

medicine, as well as treating the

0:25:530:25:57

cases.

The signs are that this

disease, long forgotten in countries

0:25:570:26:00

where vaccinations are commonplace,

is now being brought under control.

0:26:000:26:06

At the hunt continues. With more

than 800,000 people packed together

0:26:060:26:10

in these vast refugee camps, the

team can't take any chances.

0:26:100:26:18

Now, what you will be wondering is

how the kid you saw in that report

0:26:180:26:24

is, and I am very glad to be able to

say he is recovering very well. But

0:26:240:26:28

disease is just one of the issues

they face here in the camps. I am

0:26:280:26:33

joined by Andrew Gardner of the Red

Cross. What other challenges are

0:26:330:26:36

there, dealing with effectively a

large city which has grown up here

0:26:360:26:41

in this area?

Direct, without the

right infrastructure and services,

0:26:410:26:45

disease is a risk in the camp, given

the density of the population, but

0:26:450:26:49

also given how these camps are

spontaneous, and people just have to

0:26:490:26:53

use the available space. As you can

see, most of the shelters you can

0:26:530:26:57

see are actually built under the

sides of hills. In the coming

0:26:570:27:01

months, the rainy season will

happen, and at that time, as well is

0:27:010:27:04

potential for flooding, there is

also potential for landslides. So

0:27:040:27:07

making sure the infrastructure is

right to protect people. But also we

0:27:070:27:12

should as an international community

not forget that the events here have

0:27:120:27:16

also affected the local population

here. Prior to the population

0:27:160:27:19

movement there was about 300,000

people, and now there might be

0:27:190:27:25

between 800,000 900,000 refugees,

which number three to one on local

0:27:250:27:28

population. They already are poor

and have stretched services, and

0:27:280:27:32

they are facing the situation as

well.

Thank you very much indeed.

0:27:320:27:37

Huge challenges here, and we will be

continuing to report from this

0:27:370:27:41

refugee camp throughout the morning.

Thank you very much for being with

0:27:410:27:44

us this morning.

0:27:440:27:50

In a moment we will get the news,

travel and weather where you are,

0:27:500:27:54

but you have an update.

You remember

we had some cricketers Torquay about

0:27:540:27:59

the pod casts, and since then they

have won Best broadcast in the

0:27:590:28:03

country, and test new show, and

Freddie Flintoff has been named best

0:28:030:28:07

presenter.

Is the best news

presenter?

No, just best presenter.

0:28:070:28:13

I am wondering how the others like

that. And also, 500 Words, radio

0:28:130:28:21

two, and the launch of that. And we

will be talking about the launch of

0:28:210:28:28

that.

0:28:280:28:29

Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are.

0:28:290:31:47

the edge of the temperatures. A lot

of sunshine in the middle part of

0:31:470:31:50

the week. Watch for some wet and

windy weather on Thursday morning.

0:31:500:31:54

I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London newsroom

0:31:540:31:56

in half an hour.

0:31:560:31:58

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:31:580:32:01

It's 6:30.

0:32:010:32:01

We'll bring you all the latest news

and sport in a moment,

0:32:010:32:05

but also on Breakfast this morning.

0:32:050:32:06

With questions hanging

over his personal life and political

0:32:060:32:09

future - following offensive remarks

from his girlfriend -

0:32:090:32:11

we'll be speaking to UKIP leader,

Henry Bolton, in around ten minutes.

0:32:110:32:14

Flynn was just four years

old when his dad was sent to prison.

0:32:140:32:22

There are strange people hanging

over you while you are watching over

0:32:240:32:30

your dad.

Can we not have anything

private?

0:32:300:32:34

He'll be here to explain what it's

like to have a parent behind bars.

0:32:340:32:38

With the launch of Radio 2's "500

words" creative writing

0:32:380:32:41

competition for children,

we'll be getting tips

0:32:410:32:43

from the experts on how to write

sensational short stories.

0:32:430:32:46

Good morning.

0:32:460:32:46

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

0:32:460:32:54

Crucial talks are due to take place

this morning between creditors and

0:32:570:33:01

government officials in an attempt

to save one of Britain's biggest

0:33:010:33:05

construction firms. Carillion which

directly employs 20,000 staff in the

0:33:050:33:10

UK and has major roads, and Public

billion -- public projects, is 900

0:33:100:33:19

million dollars in debt.

0:33:190:33:23

The leader of UKIP is growing a face

-- is facing a growing number of

0:33:230:33:28

calls after his girlfriend Jo Marney

made racist remarks about Prince

0:33:280:33:32

Harry's Beyonce Meghan Markle.

Members of his own party are among

0:33:320:33:37

those who have called for his

resignation. -- fiance.

0:33:370:33:49

The government has been urged to

read juice net migration. --

0:33:490:33:57

reduced. A report from the home

affairs Committee also warns that

0:33:570:34:01

anxiety over the number of people

living in the UK illegally has been

0:34:010:34:04

allowed to grow unchecked because of

a lack of official data.

0:34:040:34:08

President Trump has

denied being a racist -

0:34:080:34:10

as a row continues over offensive

language he allegedly used

0:34:100:34:13

to describe immigrants

from Haiti and Africa.

0:34:130:34:15

He is accused of using

the word during a private

0:34:150:34:17

meeting on immigration

in the White House.

0:34:170:34:19

In his first direct response

to accusations of racism,

0:34:190:34:22

Donald Trump told reporters he had

not made the comments.

0:34:220:34:30

Police in East Yorkshire believe

they have found the body of a man

0:34:490:34:53

believed to have used a crossbow to

kill his neighbour. But began to

0:34:530:34:57

search for the 56-year-old after the

death of Shane Gilmour on Friday.

0:34:570:35:03

His girlfriend Laura Sugden was also

seriously wounded in that attack.

0:35:030:35:07

A senior coroner will today deliver

his conclusions into the second

0:35:070:35:12

inquest of the Toffler Poppi

Worthington. She was found with

0:35:120:35:17

serious injuries at her home in

Cumbria in 2012. The controversial

0:35:170:35:21

first inquest was quashed by the

High Court after it lasted just

0:35:210:35:25

seven minutes and was shrouded in

secrecy.

0:35:250:35:31

Henry Ford famously quipped

that his Model T car was available

0:35:310:35:34

in "any colour you like,

as long as it's black".

0:35:340:35:37

More than a century later,

it's still the most popular

0:35:370:35:39

colour for cars.

0:35:390:35:40

According to the Society

of Motor Manufacturers and Traders,

0:35:400:35:43

more than half a million black

cars were sold in 2017.

0:35:430:35:45

But the fastest growing

colour last year was gold.

0:35:450:35:53

I can't believe it. I have a black

car and a navy blue car. Johnny two

0:35:530:36:04

cars over there.

0:36:040:36:09

cars over there. I have read car.

It's a little. Gold was very trendy.

0:36:090:36:17

The last few years. It has had a bit

of their resurgent. --A bit of a

0:36:170:36:29

resurgence.

0:36:290:36:34

resurgence. Gold is fast approaching

the top of the league.

0:36:410:36:48

Ryan Giggs is set to be named

as the manager of the Wales national

0:36:480:36:52

team today, succeeding

Chris Coleman.

0:36:520:36:59

Giggs' only managerial experience

so far was four games

0:36:590:37:02

in charge of Manchester United

when David Moyes was sacked in 2014.

0:37:020:37:05

Coleman stepped down in November,

after Wales failed to qualify

0:37:050:37:08

for this year's World Cup.

0:37:080:37:16

After 30 games and 281 days,

Manchester City's unbeaten

0:37:260:37:28

Premier League run

is finally over.

0:37:280:37:36

They lost 4-3 to Liverpool,

in an incredible match at Anfield.

0:37:370:37:44

Liverpool scored three

goals in eight minutes,

0:37:480:37:50

to go 4-1 up in the second half.

0:37:500:37:52

City did fight back,

but they couldn't find an equaliser

0:37:520:37:55

- they are still 15 points clear

at the top of the table

0:37:550:38:01

but Liverpool are celebrating

a famous victory.

0:38:010:38:06

Is possible that yesterday was a

historical game. We will talk about

0:38:060:38:12

it in 20 years when we watch back

and think about they lost one game,

0:38:120:38:19

Man City. A big respect for their

performance of course.

0:38:190:38:29

Liverpool are demanding a lot. They

punish you.

0:38:290:38:37

punish you. With Mohammed

0:38:370:38:46

. Hopefully we can learn from it.

0:38:470:38:48

And for the first time ever

Bournemouth beat Arsenal,

0:38:480:38:51

coming from behind at infront

of their home crowd to win 2-1

0:38:510:38:54

thanks to Jordan Ibe.

0:38:540:38:55

His first goal for the club

and what a time to score it.

0:38:550:38:59

Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed

the biggest win of his career,

0:38:590:39:02

beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson

in the first round of the Australian

0:39:020:39:06

Open.

0:39:060:39:07

He twice came from a set down

and was trailing 2-0

0:39:070:39:10

in the deciding set before he took

the match and reached the second

0:39:100:39:14

round in Melbourne for

only the second time.

0:39:140:39:16

He'll face Denis Istomin next.

0:39:160:39:24

A couple of surprises in the women's

draw. Venus Williams and Sloane

0:39:240:39:29

Stephens have both been knocked out

in the opening round of the

0:39:290:39:33

Australian Open. It just got started

this morning.

0:39:330:39:35

Billy Vunipola is set to miss

England's Six Nations campaign

0:39:350:39:38

after fracturing his forearm

during Saracens draw with Ospreys

0:39:380:39:40

in the European Champions

Cup over the weekend.

0:39:400:39:42

Vunipola was forced off

at half-time in the match.

0:39:420:39:45

He'd only recently returned

to action after undergoing a knee

0:39:450:39:48

operation last summer.

0:39:480:39:48

The 25-year-old is set to see

a specialist this week -

0:39:480:39:51

the initial impressions

are that he could be out

0:39:510:39:54

for ten weeks.

0:39:540:39:55

England start their campaign

against Italy in Rome

0:39:550:39:57

on the third of February.

0:39:570:40:02

There was a shock on the opening day

of the UK Masters snooker event

0:40:020:40:06

at Alexandra Palace.

0:40:060:40:06

World champion Mark Selby

is out after losing

0:40:060:40:09

6-5 against former world

number one, Mark Williams.

0:40:090:40:11

Selby was also eliminated early

in the UK Championship last month.

0:40:110:40:14

Now, how about this

for marital teamwork?

0:40:140:40:16

England's Chris Paisley has

claimed his first European Tour

0:40:160:40:18

title, winning the South Africa

Open, where his wife

0:40:180:40:21

was his caddie..

0:40:210:40:21

Paisley held off the challenge

of home favourite Branden Grace

0:40:210:40:24

with a round 66 to win

the title by three strokes.

0:40:240:40:27

A Big hug from his wife

Keri, who was making

0:40:270:40:30

her debut as caddie

after the Englishman's regular

0:40:300:40:32

bagman was on holiday.

0:40:320:40:33

I think you need a certain type of

marriage to survive that pressure

0:40:330:40:37

together.

0:40:370:40:42

together.

She doesn't know much

about golf but she knows me better

0:40:420:40:45

than anyone. At times when she knew

I was getting a bit uptight, she

0:40:450:40:50

would come me down. She was just a

massive this week and I can't say

0:40:500:40:57

enough about it.

0:40:570:40:59

It helps if you have played well.

There is a lot of pressure. There is

0:40:590:41:08

a mistaken someone you know very

well that you can blame.

He is one

0:41:080:41:15

of the nicest of blokes on the tour.

0:41:150:41:22

Today is the so-called blue Monday.

I feel all right, actually.

0:41:220:41:32

I feel all right, actually. The

Christmas spending hangover can ramp

0:41:320:41:33

up. Steph, you feeling blue?

This is

when all the credit card bills land.

0:41:330:41:46

They might not feel particularly

great.

0:41:460:41:57

great. Nothing new, talking about

debt. Paintings on credit. --

0:41:570:42:05

buying. Other people, just keeping

their heads above water. The BBC

0:42:050:42:14

colleagues have been looking at this

and a special edition of Insider.

0:42:140:42:19

They spoke to a lot of people from

all over the UK who stepped became

0:42:190:42:24

too much.

0:42:240:42:28

For me, personally, it's a

generational thing. Now I'm

0:42:280:42:31

struggling to pay the bills and even

getting onto the property, can't

0:42:310:42:36

even find a home. Paint the best

deals and managing the debts, it

0:42:360:42:44

seems impractical, impossible.

Even

though sometimes unsmiling on the

0:42:440:42:50

outside, I'm not smiling on the

inside but don't show it. To them.

0:42:500:42:57

It's like, sometimes when I am down,

yeah, I'm fine, darling, don't worry

0:42:570:43:02

about money. You know? Some of my

family have noticed how this is

0:43:020:43:10

getting me very down and I don't

sleep a lot because it's just going

0:43:100:43:17

round and round in my mind all the

time. Bankruptcy at the moment seems

0:43:170:43:26

the best option.

It was probably the

worst time in my life. I hit the

0:43:260:43:33

most almighty low that anybody could

hit. I'm thankful that happened now.

0:43:330:43:37

Lost everything, my home, my job.

Everything fell apart but I am so

0:43:370:43:46

pleased it did because I don't think

I would be here sat talking to you

0:43:460:43:51

if it hadn't. It got that bad. I was

in such a mess that I almost ended

0:43:510:43:55

my life.

0:43:550:44:00

Joining me now is Jazmine Birtles.

They have been working on the Inside

0:44:000:44:08

team.

0:44:080:44:13

team. People might think they have

got themselves in a mess but lots of

0:44:130:44:17

people, it might not necessarily be

their fault. Something might have

0:44:170:44:20

happened out of their control.

It's

an extremely common thing. As a

0:44:200:44:25

nation, we are 1.5 trillion in debt.

The majority of that is mortgages

0:44:250:44:30

that we are over 200 billion in

loans, credit cards, that kind of

0:44:300:44:36

thing. It is really common. As you

say, with a lot of people, it

0:44:360:44:40

suddenly comes over them. Quite

often, they don't really know how to

0:44:400:44:45

budget. Nobody has taught us, let's

be honest. Then something happens.

0:44:450:44:50

Quite often, if they are on

benefits, there have been problems

0:44:500:44:54

with universal credit. They haven't

had the money and time. Once you are

0:44:540:44:58

not able to pay a bill in time, it

increases. There is interest,

0:44:580:45:04

charges, and then suddenly, you find

yourself horribly in debt and you

0:45:040:45:07

don't know what to do about it.

At

that point, what should you do?

I

0:45:070:45:12

say to people going get help

immediately. Even if you think it is

0:45:120:45:16

nothing, whatever, there are three

debt advice charities, really good

0:45:160:45:22

ones, like a step change, citizens

advice. National Debt Line,

0:45:220:45:30

Christians Against that make poverty

-- Against Poverty.

0:45:300:45:45

I had an experience lately where the

payment was cancelled and it was

0:45:450:45:48

handed over to the debt selection

team, and when it came to sort it

0:45:480:45:52

out, they said can you afford this?

You are not stopping paying a

0:45:520:45:56

utility bill to pay this, are you?

So people are thinking quite

0:45:560:46:00

differently about how are you

prioritise your debt now, as well.

0:46:000:46:06

Absolutely, and it is good they are

doing that, because people have been

0:46:060:46:10

literally not eating in order to pay

bills, and quite often they are

0:46:100:46:14

bills that they don't have to pay.

And this is another thing you can

0:46:140:46:17

get help with from these charities.

There are some bills you really need

0:46:170:46:21

to pay to keep a roof over your

head, for example council tax.

0:46:210:46:24

People don't realise that is pretty

important to pay. But the credit

0:46:240:46:28

card companies, although they will

send you nasty letters and they seem

0:46:280:46:32

scary, those ones you can actually

put to the side and pay a small

0:46:320:46:36

amount, just as long as you pay your

gas and electricity. Those are the

0:46:360:46:40

more important ones.

What they do

all catch up with you eventually,

0:46:400:46:45

don't they?

Exactly, so do catch up

with them. Even if you get a friend

0:46:450:46:49

around to help you go through your

statements, have a look at your

0:46:490:46:53

bills, get an idea of where you

actually are, and then they can sit

0:46:530:46:57

with you while you phone up various

creditors and say I am having a

0:46:570:47:01

problem. Because it is really

surprising, when you phone your

0:47:010:47:04

creditors, quite often they are

nice. Like you say, you phone your

0:47:040:47:09

insurance company and they are like,

fine, we know what it is like. They

0:47:090:47:13

are not always going to be like

that, but often they are.

And we

0:47:130:47:22

will be looking at the issue of debt

tonight at 7:30 p.m.. And we will be

0:47:220:47:29

live at 8pm to answer your

questions, details of organisations

0:47:290:47:32

offering that kind of support. To

have a look on their if you want to

0:47:320:47:41

find out more.

0:47:410:47:45

Here is Carol with a look

at this morning's weather,

0:47:450:47:48

and she is outside BBC

Broadcasting House in Central

0:47:480:47:50

London.

0:47:500:47:50

It is a bit blustery in places, and

Carol has lots to tell us.

0:47:500:47:56

It is a bit blustery in places, and

Carol has lots to tell us.

Good

0:47:560:47:59

morning all. That's right, and if

you're wondering why I'm here, I

0:47:590:48:03

will tell you as we go through the

morning. Something very special has

0:48:030:48:07

just arrived in this piazza. Daniel

was right when he said it was wet

0:48:070:48:16

and windy. Follow behind with a bit

of blustery showers. Wet and windy

0:48:160:48:20

weather in the south-east will

clear, but it will be replaced by

0:48:200:48:24

blustery showers. If you are heading

out ring a sturdy umbrella with you.

0:48:240:48:28

9am this morning shows you what is

happening in Scotland. Again, a

0:48:280:48:31

plethora of showers. Some of those

wintry on the hills, interspersed

0:48:310:48:35

with some brighter skies. Cold air

is already in Scotland, and that

0:48:350:48:40

will fill south as we go through the

course of the day. For many of us

0:48:400:48:44

the highest Bridge will be this

morning. It will actually drop as we

0:48:440:48:47

head into the afternoon. Moving

across England there are a lot of

0:48:470:48:51

showers, some of them merging, some

of them blustery as well. The

0:48:510:48:55

strongest winds are across the

south-eastern quarter. Here we have

0:48:550:48:57

the heaviest rain. That will

continue to drift off into southern

0:48:570:49:00

parts of the North Sea and the near

continent as we go through the

0:49:000:49:04

morning. For the south-west it is a

wet start for you. Not cold, though.

0:49:040:49:09

In Plymouth 11, they are already 11

in St Marys. 10 Celsius in Cardiff,

0:49:090:49:14

where it is pretty wet to start the

day. For Northern Ireland the rain

0:49:140:49:18

has already cleared and you are in a

mixture of bright spells and

0:49:180:49:22

showers. As we go through the day

and the temperature drops,

0:49:220:49:26

increasingly across Scotland you

will see some of the snow falling at

0:49:260:49:29

lower levels. Later in the day we

will see that happen across Northern

0:49:290:49:32

Ireland. Tonight it will be northern

England's turn. But through the day,

0:49:320:49:36

for much of England and Wales, it

will be rain showers you have, and

0:49:360:49:40

blustery. Cooler in the north, not

as cold as we come further south.

0:49:400:49:45

Through the evening and overnight,

the snow will continue to fall

0:49:450:49:48

across Scotland and Northern Ireland

at lower levels, and also

0:49:480:49:51

increasingly northern England at

lower levels. We will see some snow

0:49:510:49:55

showers as well across South Wales,

and also the Moors in the

0:49:550:49:59

south-west, but most of those will

be in the hills. And we are looking

0:49:590:50:02

at rain showers elsewhere, some with

a little bit of hail mixed in. A

0:50:020:50:06

cold night in the north with the

risk of ice on untreated surfaces.

0:50:060:50:10

Not as cold as we come further

south. The Tuesday morning, again we

0:50:100:50:14

will have this in the northern half

of the country, and through the day

0:50:140:50:18

it will continue to fall. So we will

start to see some accumulations. The

0:50:180:50:22

most will be across Scotland and

Northern Ireland, though we could

0:50:220:50:25

have zero to three centimetres in

the north of England. In the south,

0:50:250:50:29

a lot of showers around, some of

those wintry in nature. Most will be

0:50:290:50:33

of rain, and we will have some hail

and thunder thrown in as well.

0:50:330:50:38

Wednesday a quieter day, at rain

coming in from the west. That is an

0:50:380:50:42

area of low pressure coming our way.

Keep tuned to this, because it could

0:50:420:50:46

be disruptive. It is likely to have

some snow on it northern flank and

0:50:460:50:50

on its western and southern flank we

could well have some disruptive

0:50:500:50:53

winds. So at the moment, well, it is

kind of quiet. Just a bit wet and

0:50:530:50:57

windy, but some of us will see snow

as it turns colder this week.

We

0:50:570:51:02

look forward to your announcement a

little bit later on.

0:51:020:51:11

The UKIP leader is facing pressure

to resign after his girlfriend made

0:51:110:51:15

offensive comments, including racist

remarks about twins Harry's fiancee,

0:51:150:51:21

Meghan Markle. Mr Bolton joins us

now. Thank you very much for coming

0:51:210:51:28

on BBC Breakfast and talking about

this. Good morning to you. I am sure

0:51:280:51:32

you have had a look at some of the

front pages of the papers. Your

0:51:320:51:36

party are in those headlines calling

for you to choose between your

0:51:360:51:39

girlfriend and your future as party

leader. So what decision have you

0:51:390:51:43

come to?

0:51:430:51:43

leader. So what decision have you

come to?

We have together made the

0:51:430:51:45

decision that the romantic element

of our relationship should end. She

0:51:450:51:49

is utterly distraught, close to

breakdown, of this. She never

0:51:490:51:55

intended these comments to ever be

made public. They were made sometime

0:51:550:52:00

ago, and indeed, although utterly

indefensible, there is some context

0:52:000:52:07

to them, which in time will be

revealed. But the fact is that I am

0:52:070:52:15

going to be supporting her family

and supporting her in rebuilding her

0:52:150:52:19

life going forward.

You say they are

indefensible and talk about that

0:52:190:52:24

context, why can't you explain the

context now? To explain the context,

0:52:240:52:29

she was talking about the fact that

Meghan Markle could take the Royal

0:52:290:52:32

Family, you said she had a tiny

brain, and that this was Britain and

0:52:320:52:36

not Africa. What is the context

around those comments?

In that

0:52:360:52:40

particular case, there is no context

that defends or justifies the

0:52:400:52:46

comments that were made. And I was

as appalled and shocked as anybody

0:52:460:52:50

else when I saw them first. Some of

the other comments she has made do

0:52:500:52:55

have a context, and indeed, there

are elements of that which at the

0:52:550:53:01

appropriate time we will explain

what they are.

I understand this

0:53:010:53:05

obviously has been a difficult

decision for you to come to, and you

0:53:050:53:09

have been discussing this with her

over the weekend, do you think this

0:53:090:53:13

saves your position as party leader

of UKIP, then? What sort of work do

0:53:130:53:17

you have to do now?

The important

work now is indeed ongoing. It is

0:53:170:53:21

work which has already started,

which is to create a solid

0:53:210:53:26

administrative, financial,

logistical planning base for the

0:53:260:53:29

party, so we can actually protect

ourselves going forward. And I said

0:53:290:53:33

a couple of days ago that what we

want to see was a coming together or

0:53:330:53:38

co-ordination of the different leave

campaigns, and a mobilisation to

0:53:380:53:42

ensure we have the government

delivering the mandate they were

0:53:420:53:46

given on 23 June 20 16. That is the

core task.

The problem is it is hard

0:53:460:53:53

for people to think about policy,

because the headlines have been

0:53:530:53:56

dominated by what has been happening

to you. Now, in terms of your future

0:53:560:54:01

as party leader, you ran a campaign

to be party leader based in you

0:54:010:54:08

being a happily married man.

I

dispute that, I was married, I still

0:54:080:54:13

am married.

But you did make that

part of your campaign, and you then

0:54:130:54:17

enter that relationship with your

wife. Did you not use the fact that

0:54:170:54:20

you were married as a part of that

campaign? Are you denying that?

I

0:54:200:54:24

was asked whether I was married and

whether I had children, and I said

0:54:240:54:28

yes. I didn't make a big issue or

song and dance about it. The fact is

0:54:280:54:35

I was married, I still am married.

Obviously there are things in my

0:54:350:54:38

personal life now and there have

been since before Christmas that I

0:54:380:54:42

need to address. But I didn't make

that a central plank in any way of

0:54:420:54:46

my campaign. My campaign was about

getting the party on its feet,

0:54:460:54:49

sorting out it internal

organisations, so that we can

0:54:490:54:52

deliver effective politics. And that

is what I was consistently saying.

0:54:520:54:57

Can you understand why people would

look at you this morning and over

0:54:570:55:01

the weekend and question your trust

and judgement? And not just people

0:55:010:55:04

who may have voted UKIP in the past,

whom I consider voting UKIP in the

0:55:040:55:09

future, but people inside your own

party. To quote your own people, one

0:55:090:55:13

near UKIP activist says you must go

before you destroy the party.

0:55:130:55:19

Another says there is scandal on top

of scandal on top of scandal with

0:55:190:55:23

the leadership. And Bill Etheridge

says go now, go quietly, and leave

0:55:230:55:26

us to deal with what is left.

Because you are naive political

0:55:260:55:31

lightweight. These are people in

your own party.

Yes, indeed, and in

0:55:310:55:35

fact two of the names you mentioned

were part of the leadership contest

0:55:350:55:40

themselves, and still have

aspirations in that direction. I

0:55:400:55:43

would suggest that those two

individuals, Mr Walker and Mr

0:55:430:55:47

Etheridge, should actually start

working towards the betterment of

0:55:470:55:49

the party itself, working as part of

a team, rather than coming up with

0:55:490:55:56

divisive and self-interested

comments. The point at the moment is

0:55:560:55:59

that we have got to work together.

If we fail to work together, then

0:55:590:56:02

indeed the party will fail to go

forward. And right from the

0:56:020:56:06

beginning, both of those individuals

have been following their own path.

0:56:060:56:11

How can you paint a picture of a

successful future for UKIP when it

0:56:110:56:18

is all about politics and what is

happening with you at the moment. In

0:56:180:56:23

the last election you lost 3.4

million voters compared to what you

0:56:230:56:26

got in 2015. Does the party have an

actual future?

Absolutely it does.

0:56:260:56:33

We are moving steadily back up in

the polls. One of the problems for

0:56:330:56:36

the party was in total organisation,

problems with internal

0:56:360:56:40

communications, funding and so on,

and campaign planning. These are all

0:56:400:56:44

things which for the last three

months I have been working hard on

0:56:440:56:48

sorting out. And in the coming two

months or so, those things will

0:56:480:56:51

start to emerge more publicly, and

you will see the impact of what I

0:56:510:56:56

have been doing. So this doesn't...

You don't turn around a political

0:56:560:57:01

party overnight. It takes a bit of

time. So indeed, there is a fine

0:57:010:57:05

future. And indeed, the political

context at the moment is that the

0:57:050:57:10

British government at the moment is

not delivering on an effective exit

0:57:100:57:13

of the European Union. There is no

clear vision, there are no clear

0:57:130:57:18

objectives, and the 16 position

papers they have put to Brussels

0:57:180:57:21

art... I would call them vacuous,

they are very vague statements of

0:57:210:57:25

intent rather than providing a

negotiating base. It is a total

0:57:250:57:29

failure back, and somebody needs to

be holding the government to account

0:57:290:57:33

and getting them moving, getting the

planning actually mobilised, which

0:57:330:57:35

they have failed to do themselves.

Before we let you go, you told us

0:57:350:57:39

that you have entered your

relationship with your girlfriend,

0:57:390:57:42

Jo Marnie, and she has ended her

relationship with the party.

She has

0:57:420:57:51

in my view quite rightly been

suspended, pending the establishment

0:57:510:57:55

of a board to look into the case --

Jo Marney. And that board will be

0:57:550:58:00

convened under the chairmanship of

the director-general of the party.

0:58:000:58:05

They will make whatever decision

they come to and I will support that

0:58:050:58:08

decision, whatever it is.

Henry

Bolton, leader of the UKIP party,

0:58:080:58:13

thank

0:58:131:01:34

Vanessa Feltz is on BBC radio London

and I will be back in half an hour

1:01:341:01:39

with the next update.

1:01:391:01:42

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:01:421:01:50

Willian has gone into liquidation.

-- Carillion has gone into

1:01:501:01:56

liquidation.

1:01:561:01:57

I'll be looking at what it means

for the 20,000 UK workers

1:01:571:02:00

and projects like HS2.

1:02:001:02:08

Good morning, it's

Monday 15th January.

1:02:161:02:17

Also this morning -

1:02:171:02:18

Under pressure - UKIP leader,

Henry Bolton, faces calls to quit,

1:02:181:02:21

after his girlfriend

made racist remarks

1:02:211:02:23

about Prince Harry's fiancee.

1:02:231:02:31

We have both made the agreement that

the romantic element of our

1:02:361:02:40

relationship should end. She is

close to breakdown over all of this.

1:02:401:02:44

Inside the world's largest

refugee camp in Bangladesh,

1:02:441:02:46

where hundreds of thousands

of Rohingya refugees have fled

1:02:461:02:48

violence in Myanmar.

1:02:481:02:51

In sport -

its Giggs for Wales.

1:02:511:02:53

The Manchester United legend will be

named the new national coach later -

1:02:531:02:56

replacing Chris Coleman.

1:02:561:02:58

And Carol has the weather.

1:02:581:03:04

Morning. We are outside the BBC in

London it has been wet. We have

1:03:041:03:11

gusty winds moving across the

south-western quarter. We have

1:03:111:03:16

blustery showers following on. More

details in 15 minutes.

1:03:161:03:26

Carroll, thank you, we can see that

it is windy.

1:03:261:03:32

Last bid talks to secure a rescue

package for construction firm

1:03:321:03:35

Carillion have failed -

1:03:351:03:36

and in the last few minutes it's

been announced the company

1:03:361:03:39

is entering liquidation.

1:03:391:03:40

Carillion - which is involved

in projects including HS2

1:03:401:03:42

and crossrail - has 900-million

pounds worth of debts.

1:03:421:03:45

Steph's here with more.

1:03:451:03:46

How did Carillion get

into this situation?

1:03:461:03:54

They run so many different types of

projects. They are building lots of

1:03:561:04:02

things like the Royal Liverpool

Hospital, the Aberdeen pass. They

1:04:021:04:06

are also doing a lot of maintenance

and facilities across the public.

1:04:061:04:13

They serve 36,000 school dinners

every single day. A big portfolio.

1:04:131:04:20

The company is now what is called

compulsory liquidation. That means

1:04:201:04:26

the company is now going to be wound

up. They are going to sell off the

1:04:261:04:31

assets in order to be able to recoup

some of the money they owe the banks

1:04:311:04:36

and the rest of the creditors. This

is a company that has really

1:04:361:04:39

struggled with a huge debt pile.

They have £900 million worth of debt

1:04:391:04:45

and on top of that, a huge deficit

of nearly half a billion. --A huge

1:04:451:04:53

pension deficit. There has been a

cash flow problem. Now it is the

1:04:531:04:57

case of the banks and the people

owed money wants their money. That

1:04:571:05:05

is when the company is being

liquidated.

Administration would

1:05:051:05:11

have seen them continue.

With

administration, a company will come

1:05:111:05:22

in, Ernst and Young, for example,

they will try and run the business

1:05:221:05:27

as is and trains sell it.

Liquidation is where it is literally

1:05:271:05:32

wound up and they have to sell off

their bit as fast as they can in

1:05:321:05:36

order to get the money back. What it

means in the short-term for everyone

1:05:361:05:40

who is now thinking, hang on a

minute, what about all of these

1:05:401:05:44

things they run, we have been told

that the government will be

1:05:441:05:47

providing the necessary funding

required by the official receiver to

1:05:471:05:54

maintain the public services carried

out by Carillion.

1:05:541:06:02

out by Carillion. Subcontractors and

suppliers. It is a case of now the

1:06:021:06:05

management will be completely

different in terms of how they run

1:06:051:06:08

this and clearly the priority for

them, the government needs to make

1:06:081:06:12

sure the public services still

happen.

You talk about the size of

1:06:121:06:15

the problem, we will be talking to

union Westminster. It will be

1:06:151:06:25

injured in to hear about the

political implication. -- Ian in

1:06:251:06:31

Westminster.

Huge news. Bury bad

news for those who work for

1:06:311:06:39

Carillion but I think they will be

political implications. Labour is

1:06:391:06:44

ramping up pressure on the

government. -- very bad news. Why

1:06:441:06:49

had they awarded the rail link to

Carillion after the warnings. They

1:06:491:07:00

had taken a huge diet and why would

the government either not engaging,

1:07:001:07:04

as they would see it, with

Carillion, or doing in fact the

1:07:041:07:08

opposite and awarding contracts to a

company that was in trouble. There

1:07:081:07:12

is also across party company of MPs,

the Conservative MP Ben Jenkin, he

1:07:121:07:20

says his public administration will

want to look into this issue as

1:07:201:07:23

well. Issues for the government and

the very top of management of

1:07:231:07:29

Carillion to answer as to why they

have reached this situation of going

1:07:291:07:35

into liquidation, compulsory

liquidation. A very serious move.

1:07:351:07:39

Will be those questions to the

shadow business secretary on BBC

1:07:391:07:42

breakfast this morning.

1:07:421:07:43

There's mounting pressure this

morning on the UKIP leader,

1:07:431:07:46

Henry Bolton, to resign.

1:07:461:07:47

It's after his girlfriend,

Jo Marney, was suspended

1:07:471:07:49

from the party for making racist

remarks about Prince Harry's

1:07:491:07:52

fiancee, Meghan Markle.

1:07:521:07:53

Our political correspondent,

Iain Watson, joins us from

1:07:531:07:55

Westminster.

1:07:551:07:55

Iain, is Mr Bolton

likely to stand down?

1:07:551:08:03

He was told he had to make a choice

at between his job and his

1:08:091:08:16

girlfriend. Don't forget what she

was accused of, racist comments

1:08:161:08:20

including suggesting that Meghan

Markle would taint the Royal family.

1:08:201:08:25

Further disparaging comments.

Effectively, she apologised for the

1:08:251:08:31

reckless comments but they were

taken out of context. Nonetheless,

1:08:311:08:34

in the past few minutes, Bolton told

this programme...

We have together

1:08:341:08:41

made the decision that the romantic

element of our relationship should

1:08:411:08:44

end. She is utterly distraught,

close to breakdown, over all of

1:08:441:08:50

this. She never intended these

comments to ever be made public.

1:08:501:08:54

They were made ago. Indeed, although

utterly indefensible, there is some

1:08:541:09:01

context to them. -- they were made

some time ago. In time, they will be

1:09:011:09:09

revealed. I will be supporting her

family and supporting her and

1:09:091:09:14

rebuilding her life going forward.

Element he said he will help her

1:09:141:09:22

rebuild her life.

-- he said he will

help her. It suggests he has

1:09:221:09:30

sympathy for Jo Marney rather than

condemnation. He was elected back in

1:09:301:09:36

September as the leader of UKIP.

Nonetheless, the pressure of him to

1:09:361:09:41

go -- for him to go will be there

still. Two former leadership

1:09:411:09:48

candidates are saying it is just

scandal after scandal with Henry

1:09:481:09:53

Bolton. The people of UKIP want him

to end their political relationship

1:09:531:10:00

with them.

1:10:001:10:05

We know that Carillion has gone into

liquidation and we will be speaking

1:10:051:10:08

to the shadow business secretary

coming up.

1:10:081:10:10

The government is being urged

to drop its target of reducing net

1:10:101:10:14

migration to the "tens

of thousands" a year,

1:10:141:10:16

because MPs say it "undermines"

trust in the state's ability

1:10:161:10:18

to control immigration.

1:10:181:10:19

A report from the home affairs

Committee also warns that a lack

1:10:191:10:23

of official data has allowed

anxiety over the number of people

1:10:231:10:26

illegally living in the UK

to grow "unchecked".

1:10:261:10:28

Our home affairs correspondent,

Danny Shaw, has more.

1:10:281:10:36

-- President Trump has

denied being a racist -

1:10:401:10:43

as a row continues over offensive

language he allegedly used

1:10:431:10:46

to describe immigrants

from Haiti and Africa.

1:10:461:10:47

He is accused of using

the word during a private

1:10:471:10:50

meeting on immigration

in the White House.

1:10:501:10:52

In his first direct response

to accusations of racism,

1:10:521:10:55

Donald Trump told reporters he had

not made the comments.

1:10:551:10:57

Will bring you the clever bit later

in the programme.

1:11:031:11:07

A leading charity is claiming

thousands of parents in England

1:11:071:11:10

are struggling to pay nursery fees,

because of problems accessing

1:11:101:11:12

a government website.

1:11:121:11:13

The Pre-school Learning Alliance

says glitches on the HMRC

1:11:131:11:16

site mean some parents are missing

out on their right to 30 hours free

1:11:161:11:19

childcare or tax breaks.

1:11:191:11:21

But the government says fewer

than 2% of parents who have opened

1:11:211:11:24

accounts had encountered problems.

1:11:241:11:32

If you have a fear of flying

you might want to look away now.

1:11:321:11:36

These are the incredible

pictures of the aftermath

1:11:361:11:44

of an incident at

an airport in Turkey.

1:11:451:11:47

Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7 lost

control, before skidding off

1:11:471:11:49

the runway, plunging over a cliff

and coming to rest just before

1:11:491:11:53

hitting the sea.

1:11:531:11:53

Pictures taken from inside

the plane have also

1:11:531:11:56

emerged - giving us an insight

into the reaction of passengers

1:11:561:11:59

inside the aircraft.

1:11:591:11:59

Incredibly, all of the 168

passengers and crew

1:11:591:12:02

escaped without injury.

1:12:021:12:10

Banks have been with us this

morning. Plenty of breaking news on

1:12:131:12:19

Breakfast this morning.

1:12:191:12:26

As we've just been hearing,

last ditch attempts to save one

1:12:261:12:29

of Britain's biggest

construction firms,

1:12:291:12:30

Carillion, have failed.

1:12:301:12:31

In the last half hour,

the company has revealed it has no

1:12:311:12:34

choice but to take steps to enter

into liquidation with immediate

1:12:341:12:37

effect.

1:12:371:12:38

Carillion was involved

in projects including HS2

1:12:381:12:40

and crossrail and directly

employed more than 20,000,

1:12:401:12:42

with many more on contracts.

1:12:421:12:43

Joining us now is the Shadow

Buisness Secretary, Rebecca

1:12:431:12:46

Long-Bailey.

1:12:461:12:49

It has gone into liquidation, it has

a huge amount of employees and

1:12:491:12:54

obviously big projects ongoing.

What, for you, is the priority this

1:12:541:12:58

moment?

It is extremely worrying and

there will be a lot of workers this

1:12:581:13:02

morning worrying about their future

and not to mention the companies in

1:13:021:13:06

the supply chain of those relying on

the company's pension fund. The

1:13:061:13:10

company must act quickly. We have

been asking them to step in and take

1:13:101:13:14

these contracts back into public

control so there is no delay in the

1:13:141:13:27

provision of any particular

services. We are also asking for a

1:13:271:13:30

full investigation into the

government's conduct of this matter.

1:13:301:13:33

This company issued three profit

warnings in the last six months and

1:13:331:13:36

yet, despite those warnings, the

government continued to grant

1:13:361:13:38

contracts to this company. This

completely contravenes policy. The

1:13:381:13:41

strategic management of risks. They

were entitled to deem this company

1:13:411:13:46

as high risk and they didn't do

this. They should have ensured that

1:13:461:13:50

Crown official was appointed to deal

with the company and mitigate any

1:13:501:13:54

potential losses that might have

occurred.

Those are the questions

1:13:541:13:57

that will be asked in the days to

come. A stalk about today. We have a

1:13:571:14:02

statement from Carillion and says,

"We understand that the government

1:14:021:14:06

will providing the necessary funding

required to maintain public services

1:14:061:14:12

carried out by Carillion and related

suppliers." From what we understand,

1:14:121:14:21

school meals will still happen.

You'll agree what to see full

1:14:211:14:24

details from the government today we

expect a statement. --.

We want to

1:14:241:14:32

see full details.

1:14:321:14:37

see full details. We don't want to

see the companies that are

1:14:371:14:41

profitable simply sold on and the

ones that aren't cut off. We want to

1:14:411:14:45

see this fully examined, in detail.

By the actions of the company but

1:14:451:14:49

the actions of the government

itself. In the meantime, we also

1:14:491:14:52

need to make sure that all of these

contracts are brought back into

1:14:521:14:56

public control.

There is public

sector contracts, private sector

1:14:561:15:01

contracts. Bello we are talking

about public sector contracts. -- we

1:15:011:15:05

are talking about the public sector.

There are some things we are not

1:15:051:15:09

concerned with. All of the

government contracts that Carillion

1:15:091:15:14

holds.

Are you concerned, for

example, about the funding of all of

1:15:141:15:23

this?

I have quite a lot of concerns

about that. We want to see exactly

1:15:231:15:28

what is being put on the table, make

sure that the British taxpayer is

1:15:281:15:31

not going to lose out by the actions

of the government and this company,

1:15:311:15:35

and we need a full plan going

forward not just about dealing with

1:15:351:15:39

the issues today, of making sure

there is a seamless provision of

1:15:391:15:42

service. We want to find out why

this happened.

1:15:421:15:51

this happened. Why did the

government not act when profit

1:15:511:15:54

warnings were issued? Why have they

chosen to wait until the 11th hour

1:15:541:15:57

to step in and try and remediate any

potential losses that might be

1:15:571:16:01

incurred.

One of the reasons, and

there will be obviously a myriad of

1:16:011:16:04

reasons, and we will discover all of

these. Part of the reason why

1:16:041:16:08

Carillion have been in trouble is

down to PFI, private finance

1:16:081:16:11

initiatives. So many of those were

rolled out during a Labour

1:16:111:16:14

government. Do you in some ways feel

responsible?

Well, it has been eight

1:16:141:16:17

years since we had a Labour

government in power, and there have

1:16:171:16:20

been a lot of lessons learnt across

all political parties about PFI, it

1:16:201:16:24

simply doesn't work. When you have

contracts such as one in Bristol

1:16:241:16:28

when the school was charged £8,000

for a blind, we know this isn't a

1:16:281:16:33

system that works.

So you are

admitting that PFI, in your view it

1:16:331:16:36

was wrong to do that.

I don't agree

with PFI at all, I don't think it

1:16:361:16:42

was the delivery method that should

have been used, and I understand at

1:16:421:16:47

the time it was used it was supposed

to mitigate the risk to the public

1:16:471:16:51

sector, but that is not what has

happened in practice. We need to

1:16:511:16:55

recognise that and we need a new

method to provide these public

1:16:551:16:58

infrastructure schemes, and also a

stake. Iron it is a worrying time

1:16:581:17:02

for all those people watching

Breakfast this morning who in some

1:17:021:17:05

part work for or supply Carillion.

What can you do to help reassure

1:17:051:17:10

them that they will be... This will

be sorted out? Well, the government

1:17:101:17:14

has to step in immediately. That is

the crucial factor here that needs

1:17:141:17:18

to be put into place today. That

will give reassurance to workers

1:17:181:17:23

that they will be transferred across

into potential government

1:17:231:17:25

institutions which will provide

these services. It will also give

1:17:251:17:29

comfort to those companies in the

supply chain who rely on Carillion.

1:17:291:17:34

Thank you very much for being here,

and we will of course be putting in

1:17:341:17:38

calls as well to the government to

get a response. Thank you very much

1:17:381:17:42

for your time. That is our lead

story this morning.

1:17:421:17:46

Here is Carol with a look

at this morning's weather,

1:17:461:17:48

and she is outside BBC

Broadcasting House, in Central

1:17:481:17:51

London.

1:17:511:17:51

When are you going to reveal this

big secret? Is it later on, after

1:17:511:17:55

eight a.m.?

That's right, at 8am we

have something very exciting in the

1:17:551:18:00

Alps with us, but all will be

revealed. --

1:18:001:18:11

revealed. -- Piazza. Some of us will

cease no, even at lower levels, and

1:18:121:18:16

the wind will strengthen. If we

focus on today first of all, rain

1:18:161:18:20

across the south-east with gusty

winds. That will clear, and then all

1:18:201:18:24

of us are looking at blustery

showers. Some wintry this morning.

1:18:241:18:28

Increasingly through the day, as

temperatures dropped, we will see

1:18:281:18:31

that at lower levels. We start the

forecast at 9am in Scotland. You can

1:18:311:18:35

see where we have the showers, at

this stage the winter in is in the

1:18:351:18:40

hills. Some dry and bright

conditions, and into northern

1:18:401:18:43

England we are back in the showers.

Showers through the Midlands, some

1:18:431:18:47

of those merging, and from East

Anglia in towards the south-eastern

1:18:471:18:51

quarter generally, this is where we

have the

1:18:511:18:53

quarter generally, this is where we

have the heaviest rain continuing to

1:18:531:18:55

push towards the south-east,

eventually clearing, accompanied by

1:18:551:18:58

gusty winds. In southern counties

generally we are looking at a wet

1:18:581:19:03

start to the day. There are some

showers, some of those heavy. 11 in

1:19:031:19:07

Plymouth by 9am, so not particular

cold. Ten in Cardiff, and across

1:19:071:19:11

much of Wales again it is a wet

start for you. We are looking at

1:19:111:19:17

showers, but some of them merging.

Northern Ireland, the rain has

1:19:171:19:20

cleared you, so you will have a

mixture of bright spells and some

1:19:201:19:23

showers. Through the course of the

day, the cold air already in

1:19:231:19:27

Scotland starts to sink a bit

further south. The wintry showers in

1:19:271:19:31

Scotland increasingly getting to

lower levels. They are showers, so

1:19:311:19:34

not all of us will see them. The

rain clears away from the south-east

1:19:341:19:39

and for England, Wales and Northern

Ireland we are looking at Leicester

1:19:391:19:42

is showers. Later in the day we will

see some wintriness getting down to

1:19:421:19:46

lower levels in Northern Ireland as

well. Temperatures colder in the

1:19:461:19:49

north but not as cold in the south.

Through the evening and the

1:19:491:19:53

overnight period, we continue with

snow at lower levels in parts of

1:19:531:19:56

Scotland, Northern Ireland and

northern England. Light windy as

1:19:561:19:59

well. Further south there will be

some wintriness in the forecast for

1:19:591:20:03

south Wales, the moors of the

south-west, but the wintriness will

1:20:031:20:06

tend to be a height at lower levels.

We are looking at showers and

1:20:061:20:10

perhaps some hail in there. The risk

of ice with lower temperatures in

1:20:101:20:15

the north, not as cold further south

but it will feel cold. Tuesday, we

1:20:151:20:19

are starting to see the snow

accumulates across northern England,

1:20:191:20:22

Northern Ireland and Scotland. Snow

showers almost anywhere, but as we

1:20:221:20:27

come further south most of them will

be in the hills, and we are looking

1:20:271:20:32

at some hail and some thunder, the

colder air filtering further south.

1:20:321:20:36

That leads us into Wednesday, where

it is a quieter day. A lot of dry

1:20:361:20:42

weather, with a few showers, but

rain coming in from the west. That

1:20:421:20:45

is an area of low pressure. At this

stage it is looking quite potent. It

1:20:451:20:50

may bring some disruptive weather.

In the north we could see some snow,

1:20:501:20:54

in the west in the south we could

see some very strong winds. If you

1:20:541:20:58

are travelling Wednesday into

Thursday, keep in touch with the

1:20:581:21:01

weather forecast.

We have been

warned, thank you very much indeed.

1:21:011:21:12

Since August of last year,

more than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims

1:21:121:21:14

have been forced to flee violence

and persecution in Myanmar.

1:21:141:21:17

The United Nations has described

the military offensive that provoked

1:21:171:21:20

the exodus as a textbook example

of ethnic cleansing.

1:21:201:21:22

Many have sought refuge

in neighbouring Bangladesh,

1:21:221:21:24

Many have sought refuge

in neighbouring Bangladesh,

1:21:241:21:24

in what has become the world's

largest refugee camp.

1:21:241:21:27

Our South Asia correspondent

Justin Rowlatt is there

1:21:271:21:29

for us this morning.

1:21:291:21:33

Justin, we can see what conditions

are like in some ways, but tell us

1:21:331:21:37

what you have been finding.

Yes,

there are 800,000 people packed in

1:21:371:21:43

to the refugee camps just in this

area, and you can get an idea of

1:21:431:21:48

what life is like for them, just

looking at the scene we see here.

1:21:481:21:51

Take a look at this. Down in the

middle, you can see the pump in the

1:21:511:21:56

middle and what is effectively an

open sewer running through the lane.

1:21:561:21:59

At the houses. These houses were

built the refugees when they first

1:21:591:22:02

arrived here. They are made out of

bamboo and tarpaulin. Very

1:22:021:22:07

rudimentary, and in just a couple of

months the first cyclones are meant

1:22:071:22:11

to come in, the beginning of the

rainy season which comes in the

1:22:111:22:15

summer. So these are very

vulnerable, and these densely packed

1:22:151:22:19

communities explain why disease is

spreading through these communities.

1:22:191:22:22

At the moment they are battling an

outbreak of deadly diphtheria. A

1:22:221:22:26

couple of days ago I was out with

outreach workers whose job it was to

1:22:261:22:31

try and find people who might be

infected, and stop this outbreak

1:22:311:22:34

spreading.

1:22:341:22:38

Yassim is category red.

1:22:381:22:39

He has a serious

diphtheria infection.

1:22:391:22:41

This bacterial disease blocks

the airways, and is often fatal

1:22:411:22:44

if it isn't treated.

1:22:441:22:45

It is also highly contagious.

1:22:451:22:53

It is Dr Haldar's job to try

and stop the outbreak spreading.

1:22:531:22:57

He runs a team of outreach workers.

1:22:571:22:59

When a diphtheria case comes

in, their work begins.

1:22:591:23:02

They trek through this giant refugee

camp, now the biggest in the world,

1:23:021:23:05

trying to find people who might have

been exposed to the disease.

1:23:051:23:09

The outreach workers can see up

to ten cases every day,

1:23:091:23:13

which can mean a lot of walking.

1:23:131:23:20

So the challenge for this team

is to hunt down infection,

1:23:201:23:23

and then stamp it out.

1:23:231:23:28

The hunt begins at Yassim's home.

1:23:281:23:34

Rita and Repa need to take care.

1:23:341:23:36

Close contact can be

dangerous, even if you have

1:23:361:23:38

had the vaccination.

1:23:381:23:43

Some members of the medical

team have been infected.

1:23:431:23:51

They explain how dangerous

diphtheria can be, and give everyone

1:23:531:23:58

in the family antibiotics.

1:23:581:24:02

That will stop the

disease developing.

1:24:021:24:05

Anyone who has been in close contact

with a patient for more than an hour

1:24:051:24:09

needs to be treated.

1:24:091:24:17

Well, listen, how dangerous is it

for us, just sitting out here?

1:24:201:24:23

It's not as dangerous for us,

but it's dangerous for the Rohingya

1:24:231:24:27

community, if they were not

vaccinated when they arrived.

1:24:271:24:29

So what is happening now?

1:24:291:24:30

Are you getting this

disease under control?

1:24:301:24:32

We hope that we can control it

through vaccination,

1:24:321:24:35

with preventative medicine,

as well as with treating the cases.

1:24:351:24:38

The signs are that this disease,

long forgotten in countries

1:24:381:24:40

where vaccination is commonplace,

is now being brought under control.

1:24:401:24:43

But the hunt continues.

1:24:431:24:44

With more than 800,000 people packed

together in these vast refugee

1:24:441:24:47

camps, the team can't

take any chances.

1:24:471:24:55

So I am sure you will be wondering

how Yassim, the boy we featured at

1:25:001:25:06

the beginning of the report, is, and

I am pleased to say he is doing very

1:25:061:25:11

well. I am joined by a

representative from the UNHCR. What

1:25:111:25:15

challenges are there for refugees

living in these huge camps?

Well,

1:25:151:25:21

what the refugees tell us if they

want what we want. They want to be

1:25:211:25:25

safe and secure, they want their

children to be safe and secure. They

1:25:251:25:28

want health, they want to be able to

cook a decent meal. Nutrition for

1:25:281:25:32

their children. They want a future

for their children, that they can do

1:25:321:25:36

something recreational, educational,

and they want to be able to support

1:25:361:25:39

themselves. They are a resilient.

They built these shelters, and they

1:25:391:25:43

care for their elderly, and they are

extremely close with each other. And

1:25:431:25:47

so our priority at the UN refugee

agency, UNHCR, is to build on the

1:25:471:25:53

resilience and capacities by

recruiting community outreach

1:25:531:26:00

members, and get information on

their needs and priorities.

Thank

1:26:001:26:05

you very much indeed, and I can

endorse what she said. I have been

1:26:051:26:09

here since the beginning of this

crisis and the refugees really have

1:26:091:26:12

shown incredible resilience. We will

be reporting here throughout the day

1:26:121:26:17

on the BBC.

Enqueue much, thank you.

1:26:171:26:24

-- thank you very much. Thank you.

1:26:241:26:27

You are watching Breakfast.

1:26:271:26:29

Still to come this morning:

1:26:291:26:33

Strange people are watching you say

hello to your dad, and you are

1:26:331:26:38

thinking why are you watching us?

Can we not have anything private?

1:26:381:26:41

Flynn

was just four years old when his dad

1:26:411:26:44

was sent to prison.

1:26:441:26:45

He will be here to explain

what it is like to have a parent

1:26:451:26:48

behind bars.

1:26:481:26:49

In the next few minutes we will have

more on Carillion.

Vanessa Feltz is on BBC radio London

and in a few minutes she is talking

1:30:171:30:21

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:30:211:30:24

Here's a summary of this morning's

main stories from BBC News.

1:30:241:30:32

One of Britain's biggest

construction companies,

1:30:331:30:34

Carillion, has been placed

into liquidation this morning.

1:30:341:30:36

Government officials had been

holding talks with the firm's

1:30:361:30:39

creditors throughout the weekend,

but appear to have been unable

1:30:391:30:42

to reach a rescue deal.

1:30:421:30:43

Carillion, which was involved

in many major contracts -

1:30:431:30:45

including HS2 and crossrail -

had 900-million pounds worth

1:30:451:30:48

of debts and directly employed

20,000 workers in the UK.

1:30:481:30:56

Explain the difference between

liquidation and administration. The

1:31:001:31:02

iMac this company will now be run by

the receivers.

1:31:021:31:11

the receivers. -- this company will

now be run by.

Banks, suppliers they

1:31:121:31:17

haven't paid, that is what

liquidation means. The difference

1:31:171:31:21

between that and administration, in

administration, the company would

1:31:211:31:24

carry on as normal in the hope of

selling off the business as it is.

1:31:241:31:29

In this case, liquidation, they are

selling it off as fast as possible.

1:31:291:31:35

Element it is a huge company. --.

--

it is a huge company. They are

1:31:351:31:46

building things like the Royal

Liverpool Hospital but also public

1:31:461:31:50

sector areas. For example, they

provide over 30,000 school meals

1:31:501:31:55

everyday. There is loads of

different areas of life. This is why

1:31:551:32:01

people are so concerned. Not least

because there are 20,000 people who

1:32:011:32:04

work there who will now be worried

about their jobs but the wider

1:32:041:32:08

ripple effect. We understand from

the statement put out this morning

1:32:081:32:13

that the government will continue to

provide those public services. It

1:32:131:32:16

won't be a case to your kid won't be

able to go to school this morning,

1:32:161:32:21

it they won't be fed. It is the

bigger picture. It is what will

1:32:211:32:28

happen to the supplier now in terms

of their contracts. That's what

1:32:281:32:35

needs to be sorted out.

We will get

more information.

1:32:351:32:42

Our reporter, Peter Plisner,

is outside Carillion's

1:32:421:32:43

headquarters in Wolverhampton.

1:32:431:32:44

Peter, what happens

to the workers now?

1:32:441:32:52

Bello it is unclear. 400 workers

based here in the headquarters. --

1:32:571:33:03

it is unclear.

There is 20,000

workers across the world working for

1:33:031:33:09

Carillion. They -- their jobs are

clearly insecure. It is the company

1:33:091:33:19

that "Runs Britain". It has evolved

from a construction company to a

1:33:191:33:28

services company, maintaining

Ministry of Defence homes, building

1:33:281:33:33

and maintaining hospitals and

schools and some prisons. They have

1:33:331:33:36

major contracts here in the

Midlands. You already mentioned

1:33:361:33:40

high-speed rail. There is also a

major regeneration in the centre of

1:33:401:33:44

Birmingham and that is a private

scheme. No doubt, the company behind

1:33:441:33:48

that will need to find a new

contract in the coming weeks. There

1:33:481:33:52

is also a public sector scheme for a

new hospital and that is what is

1:33:521:33:56

known as a PFI scheme where

Carillion is effectively doing it

1:33:561:34:06

with their own money. It is unclear

what is happening. It is a sad day

1:34:061:34:12

for the construction industry and

indeed, the UK.

Step will be back in

1:34:121:34:19

a few minutes to get us a union

reaction. -- Steph. UK's second

1:34:191:34:28

biggest construction company, it

employed 20,000 people in this

1:34:281:34:31

country, over 40,000 around the

world, has gone into liquidation

1:34:311:34:34

this morning, Carillion.

1:34:341:34:34

UKIP's under-fire leader has told

Breakfast he is no longer

1:34:341:34:37

romantically involved with the woman

The leader of UKIP is facing

1:34:371:34:40

a growing number of calls

to stand down this morning,

1:34:401:34:43

after it emerged his girlfriend,

Jo Marney, made racist remarks

1:34:431:34:46

about Prince Harry's

fiance, Meghan Markle.

1:34:461:34:49

Members of his own party are among

those who have called

1:34:491:34:52

for his resignation and have

urged Mr Bolton to leave

1:34:521:34:55

"quickly" and "quietly".

1:34:551:34:58

He told this programme is leadership

was needed to hold this government

1:34:581:35:02

to account on Brexit.

1:35:021:35:05

The government is being urged

to drop its target of reducing net

1:35:051:35:08

migration to the "tens

of thousands", because MPs warn it

1:35:081:35:11

undermines trust in the state's

ability to control immigration.

1:35:111:35:13

A report from the home affairs

Committee also warns that anxiety

1:35:131:35:16

over the number of people

living in the UK illegally has been

1:35:161:35:20

allowed to grow "unchecked"

because of a lack of official data

1:35:201:35:23

on the scale of the problem.

1:35:231:35:25

Police in East Yorkshire believe

they've found the body of a man,

1:35:251:35:28

suspected of using a crossbow

to kill his neighbour.

1:35:281:35:30

Officers in Humberside began

searching for 56-year-old

1:35:301:35:32

Anthony Lawrence, following

the death of Shane Gilmer on Friday.

1:35:321:35:35

His pregnant girlfriend,

Laura Sugden, was also seriously

1:35:351:35:37

wounded in the attack.

1:35:371:35:45

A senior coroner will today

deliver his conclusions

1:35:461:35:48

at the second inquest

into the death of the toddler,

1:35:481:35:51

Poppi Worthington.

1:35:511:35:51

The 13-month old was found

with serious injuries

1:35:511:35:53

at her home

in Cumbria in 2012.

1:35:531:35:55

The controversial first inquest

was quashed by the High Court

1:35:551:35:58

after it lasted just seven minutes

and was shrouded in secrecy.

1:35:581:36:06

25 minutes until Carol is going to

unveil a surprise for us outside

1:36:061:36:09

that broadcasting house.

1:36:091:36:17

Also being unveiled today, we

suspect it is going to be Ryan Giggs

1:36:171:36:24

as the new Wales boss. Big issues to

fill.

1:36:241:36:31

fill. The hopes of Wales now, if

they make it to another tournament,

1:36:371:36:41

are pinned on Ryan Giggs. Many Wales

fans are saying he is probably not

1:36:411:36:46

the right man for the job. A mixed

response to the news that he is said

1:36:461:36:50

to be named manager of the Wales

national side, succeeding Chris

1:36:501:36:54

Coleman.

1:36:541:36:55

Giggs' only managerial experience

so far was four games

1:36:551:36:57

in charge of Manchester United

when David Moyes was sacked in 2014.

1:36:571:37:01

Coleman stepped down in November,

after Wales failed to qualify

1:37:011:37:03

for this year's World Cup.

1:37:031:37:10

After 30 games and 281 days,

Manchester City's unbeaten

1:37:101:37:14

Premier League run

is finally over.

1:37:141:37:16

They lost 4-3 to Liverpool,

in an incredible match at Anfield.

1:37:161:37:19

Liverpool scored three

goals in eight minutes,

1:37:191:37:21

to go 4-1 up in the second half.

1:37:211:37:23

City did fight back,

but they couldn't find an equaliser

1:37:231:37:26

- they are still 15 points clear

at the top of the table

1:37:261:37:29

but Liverpool are celebrating

a famous victory..

1:37:291:37:37

It's possible that yesterday

was a historical game.

1:37:371:37:39

We will talk about it in 20 years

when we watch back and think

1:37:391:37:44

about the champion in 17-18,

Man City, lost one game because it

1:37:441:37:47

looks like they will

not lose another one.

1:37:471:37:49

Big respect for their performance

and of course what we did today.

1:37:491:37:57

Liverpool demanding a lot,

you make a mistake, they punish you.

1:38:001:38:04

With Salah, with Chamberlain

so with a team with the quality,

1:38:041:38:06

to run and to make fast attacks.

1:38:061:38:08

Hopefully we can learn

from that for the future.

1:38:081:38:16

And for the first time ever

Bournemouth beat Arsenal,

1:38:181:38:21

coming from behind in front

of their home crowd to win 2-1 -

1:38:211:38:24

thanks to Jordan Ibe.

1:38:241:38:25

His first goal for the club

and what a time to score it.

1:38:251:38:33

Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed

the biggest win of his career,

1:38:351:38:38

beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson

in the first round of the Australian

1:38:381:38:41

Open.

1:38:411:38:42

He twice came from a set down

and was trailing 2-0

1:38:421:38:45

in the deciding set before he took

the match and reached the second

1:38:451:38:48

round in Melbourne for

only the second time.

1:38:481:38:50

He'll face Denis Istomin next.

1:38:501:38:53

And there were a couple of surprises

in the women's draw -

1:38:531:38:57

Venus Williams and the US Open

champion Sloane Stephens have both

1:38:571:39:00

been knocked out in

the opening round.

1:39:001:39:04

Billy Vunipola is set to miss

England's Six Nations campaign.

1:39:041:39:06

He broke his arm playing

for Saracens in their draw

1:39:061:39:09

with Ospreys over the weekend.

1:39:091:39:10

It was only his second game back

after a long lay-off after a knee

1:39:101:39:14

operation.

1:39:141:39:21

There was a shock on the opening day

of the UK Masters snooker event

1:39:211:39:25

at Alexandra Palace.

1:39:251:39:26

World champion Mark Selby

is out after losing 6-5

1:39:261:39:28

to the former world number

one, Mark Williams.

1:39:281:39:30

Selby was also eliminated early

in the UK Championship last month.

1:39:301:39:38

Defending champion Glen Durrant has

retained his BDO World darts title

1:39:401:39:43

with a dramatic win in the deciding

set against Mark McGeeney.

1:39:431:39:46

These were this year's top two

seeds in the competition.

1:39:461:39:49

McGeeney did have darts to win

the match, but Durrant

1:39:491:39:51

forced his way back to win by seven

sets to six and take the second

1:39:511:39:55

Lakeside title of his career.

1:39:551:39:57

Now, how about this

for marital teamwork?

1:39:571:39:59

England's Chris Paisley has

won his first European Tour title -

1:39:591:40:02

and his wife was his caddy.

1:40:021:40:03

He closed with a round of 66 to win

the South Africa Open -

1:40:031:40:07

and there to congratulate him

was wife Keri, who was carrying his

1:40:071:40:10

clubs for the first time.

1:40:101:40:12

His regular caddie was on holiday -

will he get his job back,

1:40:121:40:15

I wonder?

1:40:151:40:19

She doesn't know much about golf

but she knows me better

1:40:191:40:22

than anyone.

1:40:221:40:23

At times when she knew

I was getting a bit uptight,

1:40:231:40:26

she would come me down.

1:40:261:40:27

She was just a massive this week

and I can't say enough about it.

1:40:271:40:35

She obviously knows her golf as

well.

Is not an easy job, being a

1:40:361:40:43

caddy. It's not just carrying a bag.

At a pink --I don't think mind would

1:40:431:40:53

cope. -- my husband.

1:40:531:40:59

A quarter of a million children

in the UK have a parent in prison,

1:40:591:41:03

but it can be a subject that many

find difficult to talk about.

1:41:031:41:06

11-year-old Flynn is one of a group

of children who have taken part

1:41:061:41:10

in a new CBBC documentary,

which explores

1:41:101:41:12

what it's like to have a family

member behind bars.

1:41:121:41:14

He's here, along with his mum, Sue.

1:41:141:41:16

We'll speak to them in a moment,

but first let's see a clip of Flynn

1:41:161:41:20

sharing his thoughts with a friend.

1:41:201:41:24

What's this prison life when you go

to prison?

There is strange people

1:41:241:41:30

just watching you, saying hello to

your data. You are just like, why

1:41:301:41:35

are you watching, why did you need

to watch us, do we not have anything

1:41:351:41:40

private? -- Dad. I want him to come

back so he can come and watch me

1:41:401:41:48

play football.

I'm always here when

you need me. Blair it feels good to

1:41:481:41:53

talk to you about it. I've been

keeping it in.

-- I've been keeping

1:41:531:42:01

it in. Now you have asked me these

questions, I have no more worries

1:42:011:42:05

any more falls of.

1:42:051:42:11

I'm delighted to say that Flynn is

here now. Great to have you. Can you

1:42:111:42:19

explain. It must have been a big

step for you as a family to take

1:42:191:42:25

part in this documentary.

It was

hard because I was worried about the

1:42:251:42:30

children and the journey that they

would be taking, emotionally. It's

1:42:301:42:34

something we all felt strongly

about. We need to reduce the stigma

1:42:341:42:38

attached to the subject because so

many people find it hard to talk

1:42:381:42:42

about. It's a difficult subject.

You

were talking to your friend, why did

1:42:421:42:47

you want to talk about it? Did you

want to tell other people what it's

1:42:471:42:51

like?

I wanted to tell people,

people who have parenting prison, I

1:42:511:43:01

told him all my feelings inside,

what was wrong and all of that.

1:43:011:43:08

There must be so many things that

are really difficult. You can't see

1:43:081:43:16

your dad very often. What is the

most difficult?

Probably that he

1:43:161:43:20

can't give me hugs.

Tell me how it

works when you go and visit him.

You

1:43:201:43:29

go in through the door and you have

to take all your shoes and

1:43:291:43:33

everything off and fingerprints

which the adults do and then you

1:43:331:43:37

have to put your shoes through the

scanner thing like the airport and

1:43:371:43:45

then you have to go through a big

metal detector which stands up.

Is

1:43:451:43:55

he allowed to give you one hard at

the beginning?

When we go in, we can

1:43:551:44:00

have a heart. -- hug.

Practically,

it is not things you think about.

1:44:001:44:10

You love football but your dad has

never seen you. You take videos and

1:44:101:44:14

show them he can see you?

Download

it onto a hard drive so when he

1:44:141:44:21

comes home...

What's it like for

you, Flynn?

I don't know.

Do you

1:44:211:44:30

find it difficult? Is that why you

find it hard to talk to your

1:44:301:44:34

friends?

Kind of, yeah.

You talked

about the stigma. When he first went

1:44:341:44:41

into prison, what did you tell the

children and have you learned

1:44:411:44:45

anything from the way that you have

all dealt with it?

Initially, the

1:44:451:44:50

children knew because when he was

arrested it was first thing in the

1:44:501:44:54

morning so we all witnessed that

which was very traumatic in itself.

1:44:541:44:58

I wasn't able to really tell the

children an awful lot because we

1:44:581:45:03

have never been in this situation

before and there was no one in our

1:45:031:45:06

area he could give us any

information. For any support. We

1:45:061:45:10

were kind of floundering. It didn't

take them the first 6-8 weeks to

1:45:101:45:16

visit because it was traumatic.

1:45:161:45:22

visit because it was traumatic. And

when the sentence did come, I wasn't

1:45:221:45:25

really able to tell the children,

because I couldn't deal with it

1:45:251:45:29

myself. Unfortunately our elder

daughter, who didn't take part in

1:45:291:45:33

the photos, she found out by social

media at school, before I had even

1:45:331:45:38

got home from court, which had a

massive impact.

So what have you

1:45:381:45:44

learnt? Were there other things that

you would do differently, if you

1:45:441:45:47

could go back?

Be as honest as you

possibly can be, don't... Once I

1:45:471:45:54

knew the sentence, I couldn't tell

the children at the time, because I

1:45:541:46:01

couldn't deal with it, so I just

said he couldn't come home yet. When

1:46:011:46:05

I did tell them, they already knew

because people had been talking

1:46:051:46:08

about it. So instead of protecting

them, I think I had broken the trust

1:46:081:46:12

that we have between us. So I think

just be as honest as you can.

It is

1:46:121:46:17

understandable, isn't it? As a mum,

you want to protect them. And how

1:46:171:46:22

have your friends responded? How has

that been, since you have told the

1:46:221:46:26

people?

They understand, but I think

if they go out and meet another

1:46:261:46:34

friend who has got a parent in

prison, they will understand as

1:46:341:46:37

well.

And that is really important,

isn't it?

Yes.

Now, I know you are a

1:46:371:46:44

big football fan. Do you know Robbie

Savage, and if you are able to hang

1:46:441:46:51

around, you will be able to get a

picture and have a chat with them. I

1:46:511:46:55

know he never played for Spurs, but

you can still have a chat with him.

1:46:551:47:02

And that documentary is on CBBC this

evening, and if you can't catch it,

1:47:021:47:10

you can get it later on iPlayer.

1:47:101:47:17

And this is the fun part where we go

and see where Karalis.

1:47:171:47:21

She is outside BBC Broadcasting

House in Central London.

1:47:211:47:24

She is outside BBC Broadcasting

House in Central London.

1:47:241:47:26

We are 15 minutes away from the

secret, and it is a good one. --

1:47:261:47:31

where Carol is. Many of us are

staying in the high single figures,

1:47:311:47:37

some even into double figures. It is

wet and windy. Not just have we got

1:47:371:47:41

that today, but we also have

blustery showers. So as a wet and

1:47:411:47:45

windy weather clears away from the

south-east, it will be replaced with

1:47:451:47:49

blustery showers, and as we had

through this week it is going to

1:47:491:47:53

turn increasingly cold, with some of

us seeing some snow and

1:47:531:47:56

strengthening winds. So this morning

across Scotland we do have some

1:47:561:47:59

wintry showers, but at this stage

they are largely on the hills.

1:47:591:48:02

Showers will be interspersed with

bright spells, and as is the case

1:48:021:48:05

with showers, not all of us will see

them. Across northern England and

1:48:051:48:09

the Midlands, further showers, some

of them merging, so you will see

1:48:091:48:13

some heavy bursts. Across East

Anglia and the south-eastern corner

1:48:131:48:17

of England, it is wet. We have heavy

rain, gusty winds, pushing off into

1:48:171:48:22

the near continent. As we move along

the other side of the southern

1:48:221:48:26

counties of England, towards the

south-west, it is a wet start to the

1:48:261:48:30

day. Some showers or some rain, but

not particular cold. It is very wet

1:48:301:48:35

across Wales at the moment, the rain

continuing to go through the course

1:48:351:48:38

of the morning. For Northern

Ireland, the rain has cleared you

1:48:381:48:42

and you have a mixture of bright

spells and showers. Through the

1:48:421:48:45

course of the day what you will find

as the rain and gusty winds clearing

1:48:451:48:49

away from the south-east. Then for

most of the UK it will be a day of

1:48:491:48:53

lost three showers, some sunny

spells, and also we will see some

1:48:531:48:57

bright spells. But the cold air

already embedded across Scotland

1:48:571:49:00

will filter further south. So the

temperatures will go down in the

1:49:001:49:04

afternoon across Northern Ireland

and the far north of northern

1:49:041:49:06

England. Increasingly we will start

to see some snow at low levels.

1:49:061:49:10

Especially for the evening and

overnight. That is for Scotland,

1:49:101:49:13

Northern Ireland and northern

England. Further south, in some of

1:49:131:49:17

the showers across South Wales and

the south-west Moors, for

1:49:171:49:28

the south-west Moors, for example,

we could also see some wintriness,

1:49:281:49:31

but that will generally be in the

hills. But with some of the heavier

1:49:311:49:34

showers we could also see some hail.

Cold in the north, with some ice.

1:49:341:49:38

Not as cold further south. Starting

off tomorrow, the snow will still be

1:49:381:49:41

falling across parts of Scotland,

northern England and Northern

1:49:411:49:44

Ireland. We could see it mount up,

especially the northern Scotland,

1:49:441:49:47

and for Northern Ireland, falling

across northern England. Further

1:49:471:49:49

south, we could see wintry showers

everywhere, but most of the

1:49:491:49:52

wintriness will be on the hills. In

some of the heavier showers expect

1:49:521:49:56

some hail and thunder, with gales

across the south-west. As we head

1:49:561:50:00

into Wednesday, a quieter day, a dry

day weatherwise. Some sunshine and a

1:50:001:50:03

few showers and then an area of low

pressure coming in from the west.

1:50:031:50:07

This is what we think at the moment.

It will be quite potent and could

1:50:071:50:11

wring some snow across the north of

the country. But some disruptive

1:50:111:50:14

winds across the west in the south,

so something worth keeping tuned to

1:50:141:50:17

the weather forecast for that alone,

and everything else, of course.

1:50:171:50:21

Thank you very much, so we are

waiting, and in ten minutes we will

1:50:211:50:25

have the announcement, whatever the

surprises.

Genuinely excited. We

1:50:251:50:32

promised you Steph will be back

about 7:50 a.m..

1:50:321:50:38

Talks between Carillion,

its creditors and the Government

1:50:381:50:40

have failed to reach a deal,

and now the company

1:50:401:50:43

is to go into liquidation.

1:50:431:50:44

is to go into liquidation.

1:50:441:50:44

What this will mean for the more

than 40,000 employees,

1:50:441:50:47

including 20,000 in

the UK, is unknown.

1:50:471:50:49

Steph is speaking to

the union this morning.

1:50:491:50:51

Lots of people already bringing

statements out, because this is

1:50:511:50:54

massive news. The tentacles of their

business spread into so many

1:50:541:50:57

different parts of our lives. I will

tell you about that and then we will

1:50:571:51:01

talk to Unite about this. This is a

company working on billions of

1:51:011:51:05

pounds of public sector contracts,

in our hospitals, schools, prisons

1:51:051:51:08

and railways.

1:51:081:51:10

Going into liquidation means it

will now be run by accountancy firm

1:51:101:51:13

PwC.

1:51:131:51:14

They will be looking to see off

assets from the firm.

1:51:141:51:20

It is a lengthy process, there is

lots of uncertainty around it, but

1:51:201:51:24

of course want of the biggest issues

is what it will mean for the 20,000

1:51:241:51:28

people in the UK who work for

Carillion.

1:51:281:51:30

Joining me from London

is Jim Kennedy, national officer

1:51:301:51:33

for local authorities

at the Unite Union.

1:51:331:51:34

Good morning to you. What is your

reaction to this news, then?

Well,

1:51:341:51:38

it is obviously devastating news

this morning that we have had for

1:51:381:51:43

our members within Carillion and the

wider workforce in Carillion. The

1:51:431:51:50

insecurity over the weekend, the

radio silence that prevailed over

1:51:501:51:55

the weekend, in terms of the future

of Carillion, was obviously

1:51:551:52:02

unhelpful four are members, and this

morning, obviously, the latest news

1:52:021:52:07

is quite awful. And what we seek,

obviously, this morning is some

1:52:071:52:12

assurances from the government, both

on jobs, wages and pensions. For

1:52:121:52:17

those directly employed by

Carillion, and indeed those among

1:52:171:52:22

the wider supply chain, of which

there are many, many thousands.

Do

1:52:221:52:26

you have any ideas yet, Jim, about

those jobs? About the 20,000 people?

1:52:261:52:34

Have they been told anything yet?

Know, from what we are aware at the

1:52:341:52:39

moment, there has been no news

relayed to the workers at all, which

1:52:391:52:42

is quite awful state of affairs.

These are directly employed workers

1:52:421:52:46

delivering in the main public sector

contracts and delivering essential

1:52:461:52:51

public services. So there is huge

insecurity about jobs and huge

1:52:511:52:56

insecurity about the future delivery

of those services.

I mentioned at

1:52:561:52:59

the beginning, Jim, about the fact

that this is a business with

1:52:591:53:04

tentacles and so many parts of our

lives. Can you just explain a bit

1:53:041:53:07

about what types of jobs those

20,000 jobs are?

They are right

1:53:071:53:11

across the public sector. They

include the maintenance of MoD

1:53:111:53:17

properties, they are dinner staff at

schools, delivering meals in the

1:53:171:53:21

NHS, and indeed delivering services

in local government. So across the

1:53:211:53:25

whole of the public sector,

Carillion has what you term its

1:53:251:53:30

tentacles involved in this, and it

is quite worrying, of course, that

1:53:301:53:33

despite repeated profit warnings,

the government still awarded a

1:53:331:53:38

public sector contract, and MoD

contract, in excess of £150 million,

1:53:381:53:47

after the profit warnings, and

indeed after the profit warnings,

1:53:471:53:50

the £1.4 billion contract for HS2.

Just looking at some of this,

1:53:501:53:57

obviously you mentioned there about

all the different kinds of jobs, and

1:53:571:54:01

we found out this morning from the

statement that there will be funding

1:54:011:54:05

provided to keep the NHS, prisons,

and everything going today. So it is

1:54:051:54:09

not a case of those jobs have gone.

Those people will still be getting

1:54:091:54:13

paid, those jobs and services will

still be provided.

You are right,

1:54:131:54:18

but a two line statement does not

allay the concerns of the workforce.

1:54:181:54:22

What we would like to see, I mean,

these services are public services,

1:54:221:54:26

and we would like to see those

services brought in-house, so the

1:54:261:54:30

profit imperative is taken away from

the delivery of public services. The

1:54:301:54:34

profit imperative that has

spectacularly failed in the case of

1:54:341:54:38

Carillion.

So what happens next?

Well, we wait for some statements

1:54:381:54:44

from government around assurances on

jobs and pensions, et cetera, and

1:54:441:54:49

indeed the future delivery of those

contract. I mean, this statement

1:54:491:54:52

came out about an hour ago. We are

in unknown territory. Previously,

1:54:521:54:57

when other companies have gone bust,

there has been other private-sector

1:54:571:55:00

contracts, contractors, pick up the

profitable parts of those contract,

1:55:001:55:07

and the nonprofitable parts have

remained in the public sector. Now,

1:55:071:55:11

that can't happen again.

Thank you

very much for your time this

1:55:111:55:15

morning. That is Jim Kennedy from

The Unite union, talking about the

1:55:151:55:20

20,000 people who work for Carillion

in the UK.

And I know so many people

1:55:201:55:26

this morning will be really

concerned about that, so we will

1:55:261:55:30

continue talking about this story,

and we are trying to get hold of

1:55:301:55:34

somebody from the government,

essentially, as so many questions

1:55:341:55:37

have been raised there. So many will

want answers, especially if you work

1:55:371:55:41

for Carillion or in one of the

supply chains, as well. We will try

1:55:411:55:45

and get some of the answers for you

in the next hour.

We will continue

1:55:451:55:56

to interview Henry Bolton, the

leader of UKIP, who wants to

1:55:561:56:01

continue as you letter. And as well,

at the completely other end of the

1:56:011:56:04

scale, which is what we like to do

on BBC Breakfast, we have Andrew

1:56:041:56:08

Flintoff, Robbie Savage and the

third member of their award-winning

1:56:081:56:16

pod cast.

1:56:161:56:22

pod cast. Flintoff, Savage, and the

Ping-pong Guy. And Carol's dig

1:56:221:56:31

secret revealed, coming up very

shortly.

1:56:311:56:41

shortly. I

1:56:412:00:00

shortly. I

2:00:002:00:04

There is more on the UKIP row with

Vanessa Feltz. I will be back with

2:00:042:00:10

more in half an hour. Goodbye.

2:00:102:00:12

Hello.

2:00:272:00:28

This is Breakfast.

2:00:282:00:29

With Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

2:00:292:00:31

Construction giant Carillion has

gone into liquidation.

2:00:312:00:33

The firm runs 900 schools,

highways and prisons.

2:00:332:00:35

Critics say the Government ignored

warnings about the company's

2:00:352:00:37

financial problems.

2:00:372:00:45

I'll be looking at what it

means for the 20,000 UK

2:00:452:00:47

workers, and for government

projects like HS2.

2:00:472:00:55

Good morning.

2:01:042:01:05

It's Monday, 15th January.

2:01:052:01:06

Also this morning:

2:01:062:01:12

Ukip leader Henry Bolton tells

Breakfast he won't quit,

2:01:122:01:14

after his girlfriend made racist

remarks about Meghan Markle.

2:01:142:01:21

Together, we have made the decision

that the romantic element of our

2:01:212:01:25

relationship should end. She is

utterly distraught. Close to

2:01:252:01:30

breakdown of all this.

2:01:302:01:33

We'll be live inside the world's

largest refugee camp, in Bangladesh,

2:01:332:01:36

where hundreds of thousands

of Rohingya refugees have fled

2:01:362:01:38

violence in Myanmar.

2:01:382:01:41

Good morning.

2:01:412:01:41

Good morning.

2:01:412:01:45

In Sport: It's Giggs for Wales.

2:01:452:01:46

The Manchester United legend will be

named the new national coach later,

2:01:462:01:49

replacing Chris Coleman.

2:01:492:01:50

And Carol has the weather.

2:01:502:01:53

And something else, good morning.

Good morning from bang bang. Look at

2:01:532:01:59

this fabulous car! This morning,

Chris Evans is launching 500 Words,

2:01:592:02:07

a writing competition for children

between five and 13 and part of the

2:02:072:02:12

prize, the first prize, is a little

ride in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

2:02:122:02:19

Let's hope the weather is better

then, today it is at rainy and

2:02:192:02:24

windy, clearing from the South East

followed by a what blustery showers.

2:02:242:02:30

More from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang

and the weather later.

2:02:302:02:34

Excellent, Carol! Thank you! What a

wagon! I enjoyed that. Good morning.

2:02:342:02:40

First, our main story.

2:02:402:02:41

Last-bid talks to secure a rescue

package for construction firm

2:02:412:02:43

Carillion have failed,

and it's been announced the company

2:02:432:02:45

is entering liquidation.

2:02:452:02:47

Carillion - which is involved

in projects including HS2 -

2:02:472:02:52

employed 40,000 workers,

including 20,000 in the UK.

2:02:522:02:54

Steph's here with more.

2:02:542:03:01

This is a really significant story.

2:03:012:03:05

How did Carillion get

into this situation?

2:03:052:03:10

A huge company that has run out of

money. They cannot pay back the

2:03:102:03:14

money they owe money to and so the

banks, who are angry about this, and

2:03:142:03:19

they're supplying companies and

other people they owe money to, that

2:03:192:03:21

has got to a point where they have

been forced into compulsory

2:03:212:03:27

liquidation. That means now a

company, an accountancy firm called

2:03:272:03:33

PWC will take over the company and

sell off assets to try and make

2:03:332:03:37

money back to pay off those people

who have borrowed money. The 20,000

2:03:372:03:43

people who work there in UK, we do

not know as yet. We were talking to

2:03:432:03:48

the union and they have not been

told anything. This is a company who

2:03:482:03:53

has its tentacles in so many parts

of our lives. They run school

2:03:532:03:58

dinners, they build huge hospitals,

they are involved in the roads and

2:03:582:04:03

railways. Sub various people

involved in different areas of our

2:04:032:04:06

lives have said, don't worry, the

trains will run. Network Rail have

2:04:062:04:10

said, whatever their involvement

with us, things will be fine on the

2:04:102:04:13

trains. The Government have said

this morning, they will make sure

2:04:132:04:18

our public services are still

funded. It is not like we certainly

2:04:182:04:21

will not have children being fed at

school. The idea is to run the buses

2:04:212:04:30

-- the business but to sell off the

assets and the background to get

2:04:302:04:32

this money back. It is so

complicated because it is the second

2:04:322:04:36

biggest construction firm in the UK,

involved in prisons, hospitals,

2:04:362:04:40

roads, railways, it touches so many

parts of people's lives and this is

2:04:402:04:45

why there is concern, what does it

mean for the suppliers as well? That

2:04:452:04:49

is what has been called into

question this morning.

Thanks for

2:04:492:04:52

the moment. Plenty of questions

about that.

2:04:522:04:56

Our political correspondent,

Iain Watson, has been following

2:04:562:04:57

developments from Westminster.

2:04:572:04:59

What's the political

significance of this, Iain?

2:04:592:05:04

In one of the papers over the

weekend, it said that Carillion

2:05:042:05:08

almost runs the UK, big political

significance, the story. Absolutely.

2:05:082:05:15

The second biggest construction

company in Britain, so many

2:05:152:05:19

employees directly employed and so

many others directly employed and

2:05:192:05:24

depended on contracts.

They manage

and maintain so many public

2:05:242:05:27

services. The Government is likely

to make a formal statement but over

2:05:272:05:33

the weekend, talks were going on in

Whitehall to try to avert compulsory

2:05:332:05:37

liquidation. But those talks have

failed, it has happened. Now we are

2:05:372:05:41

into a political blame game. Labour

have said, why was it the Government

2:05:412:05:46

awarded three contracts worth nearly

£2 billion after the company had

2:05:462:05:51

issued a profits warning? A signal

that things were potentially going

2:05:512:05:54

wrong. The share price had

plummeted. Get the comment was still

2:05:542:05:58

awarding contracts. They want an

investigation into that. And when it

2:05:582:06:02

comes to this question of selling

off assets, as far as the public

2:06:022:06:06

service contracts are concerned,

this company has such a big

2:06:062:06:09

footprint, a lot of activity in the

private sector. Some contracts were

2:06:092:06:15

profitable and some not profitable

and they want the Government to take

2:06:152:06:18

over all those contracts and not

simply to bail the company out for

2:06:182:06:22

the unprofitable work. So demands

from the opposition and likely to be

2:06:222:06:26

a cross-party investigation and the

Conservative chairman of the public

2:06:262:06:31

administration committee. And just

to give you an idea of how this is

2:06:312:06:34

going to go for the rest of the day,

within minutes of the announcement,

2:06:342:06:38

the pro-EU group Open Britain were

labouring Brexit for the collapse of

2:06:382:06:45

Carillion. So a lot of people out to

ascribe reasons for this collapse

2:06:452:06:50

all the blame those in charge of the

company or to blame the Government

2:06:502:06:53

for not getting involved earlier

with Carillion when it went into

2:06:532:06:58

difficulties. We expect a statement

from the Government in the House of

2:06:582:07:02

Commons later today, but expect a

lot of criticism as well.

We will

2:07:022:07:06

follow that and hopefully speak to

David Lidington later from the

2:07:062:07:09

Cabinet Office about that. Also this

morning.

2:07:092:07:13

And we've also been hearing

from the leader of Ukip -

2:07:132:07:15

Henry Bolton - this morning.

2:07:152:07:19

Speculation over his future in his

job after unsavoury things his

2:07:192:07:26

girlfriend Jo Marney said. He said

he wouldn't that relationship with

2:07:262:07:32

Jo Marney was desperate to stay as

leader.

Yes, if Ukip was a company

2:07:322:07:36

like Carillion, you would have seen

its share price plummeting, it lost

2:07:362:07:40

a lot of voters in the 2017 election

and it has had four said that

2:07:402:07:46

leaders since the EU referendum.

What Henry Bolton was supposed to do

2:07:462:07:49

was to get the party back on track

and to take the fight over Brexit to

2:07:492:07:54

the government but his personal life

is all over the papers because of

2:07:542:07:57

comments by his now ex-girlfriend Jo

Marney. To remind you, she made

2:07:572:08:03

comments regarded as racist,

including suggesting that Meghan

2:08:032:08:07

Markle might taint the Royal Family.

She has since apologised and said

2:08:072:08:11

those comments were taken out of

context. Many people in Ukip felt

2:08:112:08:16

Henry Bolton had to make a choice

between his job as leader and his

2:08:162:08:19

girlfriend and he made that was very

clear early on this programme.

2:08:192:08:23

Together, we have made this decision

that the romantic element of our

2:08:232:08:28

relationship should end. She is

utterly distraught, close to

2:08:282:08:34

breakdown of all this. She never

intended these comments to be made

2:08:342:08:37

public. They were made some time

ago. And indeed, although utterly

2:08:372:08:44

indefensible, there is some context

to them which, in time, will be

2:08:442:08:48

revealed. But the fact is that I am

going to be supporting her family

2:08:482:08:58

and supporting her in rebuilding her

life, going forward.

The question is

2:08:582:09:02

whether Henry Bolton can rebuild his

leadership. He has certainly

2:09:022:09:06

distanced himself from his

girlfriend Jo Marney and he has said

2:09:062:09:09

these comments were indefensible.

But that senior figures in Ukip

2:09:092:09:15

including MEPs and a couple of

people who contested the leadership

2:09:152:09:19

in the past who think this is a huge

distraction and they want to see a

2:09:192:09:23

fresh start.

Thank you very much.

Really interesting to talk to any

2:09:232:09:26

number of issues. Some sad news now.

Cyrille Regis, former West Bromwich

2:09:262:09:35

and England forward has died at the

age of 59, such a big name to so

2:09:352:09:42

many football fans, a big hero at

West Bromwich and Coventry and a

2:09:422:09:46

pioneer for black players, appointed

MBE in 2008. We will get more detail

2:09:462:09:53

on that, but sorry to bring you

that, news that Cyrille Regis has

2:09:532:09:57

passed away at the news of -- at the

age of 59. We will talk more about

2:09:572:10:05

that later.

2:10:052:10:06

President Trump has denied

being a racist, as a row continues

2:10:062:10:09

over offensive language he allegedly

used to describe immigrants

2:10:092:10:11

from Haiti and Africa.

2:10:112:10:15

He is accused of using a particular

word during a private meeting

2:10:152:10:18

on immigration in the White House.

2:10:182:10:19

In his first direct response

to accusations of racism,

2:10:192:10:22

Donald Trump told reporters he had

not made the comments.

2:10:222:10:25

You might have seen these pictures.

2:10:402:10:45

If you have a fear of flying,

you might want to look away now.

2:10:452:10:48

These are the incredible pictures

of the aftermath of an incident

2:10:482:10:51

at an airport in Turkey.

2:10:512:10:52

Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7

lost control, before

2:10:522:10:54

skidding off the runway,

plunging over a cliff and coming

2:10:542:10:56

to rest just before hitting the sea.

2:10:562:11:04

SHOUTING.

2:11:042:11:08

This was the reaction

of passengers inside the plane.

2:11:082:11:11

Incredibly, all of the 168

passengers and crew

2:11:112:11:12

escaped without injury.

2:11:122:11:17

But I am not sure they will forget

that in a hurry. It is awful to

2:11:172:11:21

think what would be going through

your mind.

2:11:212:11:24

116 people on board and everybody

got off the plane without injury,

2:11:242:11:27

amazing.

2:11:272:11:29

The UKIP leader, Henry Bolton,

is facing growing pressure to resign

2:11:292:11:32

"quickly and quietly".

2:11:322:11:37

It's after his girlfriend

was suspended from the party

2:11:372:11:39

for making offensive comments,

including racist remarks

2:11:392:11:41

about Prince Harry's

fiancee, Meghan Markle.

2:11:412:11:46

Earlier, he said he was putting his

party ahead of his relationship.

We

2:11:462:11:51

have together made the decision that

the romantic element of our

2:11:512:11:53

relationship should end. She is

utterly distraught, close to

2:11:532:12:01

breakdown of or all of this. She

never intended these comments to

2:12:012:12:04

ever be made public. They were made

some time ago. And indeed, although

2:12:042:12:08

the week didn't -- indefensible,

there is some context to them which

2:12:082:12:17

in time will be revealed -- although

utterly indefensible. But the fact

2:12:172:12:21

is that I am going to be supporting

her family and supporting her in

2:12:212:12:26

rebuilding her life, going forward.

You say they were indefensible and

2:12:262:12:29

you talk about the context, why can

you not explain the context now? To

2:12:292:12:33

remind people, she was talking about

the fact Meghan Markle could taint

2:12:332:12:38

the Royal Family, she said she had a

tiny brain and she said this was

2:12:382:12:42

Britain and not Africa. What is the

context around those comments?

In

2:12:422:12:46

that particular case, there is no

context that defends or justifies

2:12:462:12:52

the comments that were made. I was

as appalled and shocked when I saw

2:12:522:12:57

them first. Some of the other, she

has made the do have a contract cost

2:12:572:13:05

just a context and there are

elements of that that, at the

2:13:052:13:09

appropriate time, we will explain

what they are.

X -- I understand

2:13:092:13:15

this has been a difficult decision

and you have discussed this with her

2:13:152:13:18

over the weekend, do you think this

saves short position as party

2:13:182:13:23

leader, what work you have to do

now?

The important work now is

2:13:232:13:27

ongoing and it is work that has

started, to create a solid,

2:13:272:13:33

administrative, financial,

logistical planning base for the

2:13:332:13:36

party. So we can project ourselves

going forward. I said the other day

2:13:362:13:40

that what we wanted to see was a

coming together of coordination of

2:13:402:13:47

the different Life campaigns and

immobilisation to make sure we do

2:13:472:13:50

get the Government delivering the

mandate and June 23rd 2016.

That is

2:13:502:13:56

the task. The problem is, Mr Bolton,

it is hard for people to think about

2:13:562:14:02

policy because the headlines have

been dominated by what has been

2:14:022:14:04

happening to you. In terms of your

future as party leader, you run a

2:14:042:14:09

campaign to beat Ukip party leader

based on you being a happily married

2:14:092:14:13

man.

I dispute that. I was married

and I still unmarried.

You did make

2:14:132:14:20

that part of your campaign. You

enter that relationship with your

2:14:202:14:23

wife. Did you not use the fact you

were married as part of that

2:14:232:14:28

campaign?

Are you denying that? I

was asked whether I was married and

2:14:282:14:32

whether I had children and the

answer was yes, I did not make a big

2:14:322:14:35

issue of it. The fact is I was

married, I am still married. There

2:14:352:14:40

are things of my personal life now

and there have been since before

2:14:402:14:43

Christmas that need to be, I need to

address. But I did not make that a

2:14:432:14:49

central plank in any way of my

campaign. My campaign was about

2:14:492:14:54

getting the party on its feet,

sorting out its internal

2:14:542:14:58

organisation, so that we can deliver

effective politics. That is what I

2:14:582:15:03

was consistently saying.

Can you

understand why people would look at

2:15:032:15:05

you this morning and over the

weekend and question your trust and

2:15:052:15:10

judgment? Not just people who voted

Ukip in the past and he might

2:15:102:15:13

consider it in the future, people

within your own party.

2:15:132:15:21

Ben Walker says you must go. Suzanne

Evans says scandal after scandal

2:15:212:15:29

with you at the leadership and Bill

eth ridge says "Go quietly and leave

2:15:292:15:36

us to deal with what's left. He

calls you a political lightweight."

2:15:362:15:41

These are people within your party?

Two of the names were part of the

2:15:412:15:46

leadership contest and still have

aspirations in that direction. I

2:15:462:15:49

would suggest that those two

individuals should start working

2:15:492:15:55

towards the betterment of the party

itself, working as part of team

2:15:552:16:00

rather than coming up with divisive

and self interested comments. The

2:16:002:16:03

point at the moment is that we've

got to work together. If we fail to

2:16:032:16:07

work together then indeed the party

will fail to go forward and right

2:16:072:16:12

from the beginning both those

individuals have been following

2:16:122:16:16

their own path.

That was an interview we did

2:16:162:16:22

earlier.

Shall we catch up with Carol. We

2:16:222:16:30

said she had a surprise. Explain

what's going on behind you.

2:16:302:16:34

said she had a surprise. Explain

what's going on behind you.

2:16:342:16:39

Well, this is chilly, chilly bang

bang. Chris Evans is launching a

2:16:402:16:52

writing competition. It is a

competition and one of prizes that

2:16:522:16:55

you will win is a spin in this car

at the Hampshire Court Festival in

2:16:552:17:01

June. So, lots of other prizes on

offer, we will talk about them as we

2:17:012:17:05

go through the morning. Let's hope

the weather is better than it is

2:17:052:17:08

today. The forecast today is a wet

one. We have got heavy rain pushing

2:17:082:17:12

away from the South East and for all

of us, we are looking at blustery

2:17:122:17:16

showers. So if you start the

forecast in Scotland this morning,

2:17:162:17:20

at 9am, there are some showers

around and some of those will be

2:17:202:17:23

wintry. At this stage mostly on the

hills. But what you will find later

2:17:232:17:27

is the snow will come down to sea

level, but the showers, so not all

2:17:272:17:31

of us seeing it. Across northern

England and into the Midlands, again

2:17:312:17:35

we've got showers. Some merging to

give lengthier spells of rain. The

2:17:352:17:39

heaviest rain is across the

south-eastern quarter of England and

2:17:392:17:42

here we have got gusty winds, that's

what will push away into the near

2:17:422:17:47

Continent and the North Sea as we go

through the morning. Southern

2:17:472:17:51

counties generally wet. In Plymouth

the temperature will be around 11

2:17:512:17:55

Celsius. But it is wet across Wales

at the moment and it will remain so

2:17:552:17:58

as we go through the course of this

morning. For Northern Ireland, the

2:17:582:18:03

heaviest of rain has cleared you,

but behind we are looking at a

2:18:032:18:06

mixture of bright spells and sunny

spells and showers. Now we've

2:18:062:18:10

already got cold air across Scotland

and through the day that will sink

2:18:102:18:14

southwards. Some of us will see our

maximum temperatures this morning

2:18:142:18:18

with the temperature going down as

we go through the afternoon. That's

2:18:182:18:21

why increasingly we are looking at

the snow getting to lower levels

2:18:212:18:24

across parts of Scotland. Later, low

levels across parts of Northern

2:18:242:18:27

Ireland. The rain clears away from

the South East, leaving blustery

2:18:272:18:32

showers behind and again, some of

those may well have hail embedded in

2:18:322:18:37

them too. As we head on through the

evening and overnight, increasingly

2:18:372:18:41

as it gets colder, the snow will

come down to lower levels, not just

2:18:412:18:44

in Scotland and Northern Ireland,

but northern England too. Any snow

2:18:442:18:48

in south and South Wales and the

moors and the south-west of England

2:18:482:18:51

will be on the hills, but again, you

could see hail in there. And

2:18:512:18:54

temperatures, well, cold in the

north, temperatures freezing or

2:18:542:18:57

below, a little bit higher than that

as we come further south, but it

2:18:572:19:01

will feel cold. So there is the risk

of again ice on untreated surfaces.

2:19:012:19:06

Tomorrow, we will be starting to see

the snow April cumulate across

2:19:062:19:10

Scotland in particular and then

Northern Ireland and then northern

2:19:102:19:13

England. We could have between zero

and three centimetres across

2:19:132:19:17

northern England for example and

tomorrow we could see wintry showers

2:19:172:19:21

anywhere elsewhere, but what you

will find is the wintry flavour will

2:19:212:19:24

tend to be on the hills, but you

could see some hail and thunder and

2:19:242:19:28

lightening. Temperature wise, cold

in the north and the colder air

2:19:282:19:32

filtering further south. It is the

very far south that hangs into the

2:19:322:19:36

higher temperatures. As we move into

Wednesday, well a lot of dry

2:19:362:19:40

weather, but we have an area of low

pressure coming in from the west

2:19:402:19:43

which at the moment looks like it

will bring snow to the north of the

2:19:432:19:48

country, but strong winds,

positively disruptive winds across

2:19:482:19:52

the west and the south. So keep in

touch with the weather forecast, Dan

2:19:522:19:56

and Lou.

Oh, well, indeed. You

talked about the 500 word

2:19:562:20:00

competition. We're talking about

that later as well. Carol, thank you

2:20:002:20:04

very much indeed.

2:20:042:20:06

It is one of my favourite films. I

loved it! It is that machine that he

2:20:082:20:14

makes that makes breakfast that

cracks the eggs and all that.

2:20:142:20:22

cracks the eggs and all that.

Your

children can't enter as you work for

2:20:222:20:24

the BBC.

2:20:242:20:26

Let's return to our top story

and news that one of Britain's

2:20:262:20:29

biggest construction firms

is going into liquidation.

2:20:292:20:32

Steph has been bringing us the

details about the size of Carillion,

2:20:322:20:36

I suppose when they're involved in

so much of the infrastructure in the

2:20:362:20:41

UK, it is those other businesses

that this will impact on as well?

2:20:412:20:44

That's right. It is a company which

has its tentacles in so many

2:20:442:20:48

different parts of our lives that

there is lots of other businesses

2:20:482:20:51

that rely on Carillion as well and

that's what we want to look at now.

2:20:512:20:54

We are trying to look at every part

of this. Good morning to you. This

2:20:542:20:58

is a huge company. Working on

billions of pounds worth of public

2:20:582:21:03

sector contracts in our hospitals,

schools, prisons, roads and

2:21:032:21:06

railways.

2:21:062:21:11

PWC will look to sell off the assets

to pay off the people that Carillion

2:21:112:21:15

owes money to because it is in a lot

of debt and including to its

2:21:152:21:20

suppliers as well. Now, the Chief

Executive of the specialist

2:21:202:21:26

engineering contractors group. They

represent many suppliers who work

2:21:262:21:32

for Carillion. Can you explain how

it works with suppliers and

2:21:322:21:35

Carillion?

Well, yes, every time you

look at construction sites, you see

2:21:352:21:43

the name of Carillion plastered

everywhere. The trouble is that they

2:21:432:21:49

outsourced all their work. They did

very little of the work. I think

2:21:492:21:53

that the general public didn't

really understand this. So we have a

2:21:532:21:58

situation where all the work is done

by suppliers and unfortunately as

2:21:582:22:05

far as my sector is concerned which

is the specialist engineering sector

2:22:052:22:08

they are going to be owed lots and

lots of money by Carillion because

2:22:082:22:12

of the work that they've done over

the past few months and possibly

2:22:122:22:16

years.

So are they worried? Are your

suppliers worried?

Yes, I mean, they

2:22:162:22:22

are extremely worried. I mean, we're

quite annoyed actually at the fact

2:22:222:22:28

that the Government has effectively

appointed even over the last six

2:22:282:22:33

months a company that has really no

assets to carry out millions of

2:22:332:22:38

pounds worth of work knowing full

well, of course, that work is to be

2:22:382:22:42

done by the supply chain and it is

the supply chain who is going to

2:22:422:22:50

have to bear this massive loss and

the question is to what extent can

2:22:502:22:55

they bear the loss and the worry is

that a lot of firms in the supply

2:22:552:22:58

chain could end up going to

insolvency themselves.

So do you

2:22:582:23:02

think the suppliers could collapse

as a result of this?

Oh yes. It's

2:23:022:23:06

hard to say at this stage how many.

We're going to have to look into the

2:23:062:23:12

extent of exposure of these firms

this week. But there could be a

2:23:122:23:18

large number of firms seriously

affected, if not going into

2:23:182:23:23

insolvency, but experience

substantial financial distress.

2:23:232:23:26

Rudi, thank you very much for your

time. I appreciate it is a quickly

2:23:262:23:30

moving story, but that's it from me,

for now, thanks.

Thank you very

2:23:302:23:33

much, Steph. We will be continuing

to talk about it here on Breakfast

2:23:332:23:36

as well. Thank you.

2:23:362:23:46

What can be done to stop sexual

harassment in public places?

2:23:482:23:55

We're joined now by Eliza Hatch,

a photographer who has

2:23:552:23:58

worked with abuse victims.

2:23:582:24:00

You started a project on this

particularly. Why did you want to

2:24:002:24:04

start looking at this?

I started

Cheer Up Love a year ago and it is a

2:24:042:24:15

project that retells women's

accounts of street harassment. I

2:24:152:24:20

publish the stories for everyone to

see.

And it is called Cheer Up Love

2:24:202:24:24

because?

It is a common phrase that

I've had experience with in my life.

2:24:242:24:30

I have had it many time and it

doesn't get any less annoying the

2:24:302:24:35

more you hear it. A man walked past

me and told me to cheer up and it

2:24:352:24:40

was a year ago and for some reason I

couldn't let it go and I wanted to

2:24:402:24:44

challenge that.

You talked, didn't

you, to your friends and both male

2:24:442:24:50

and female and what was their

reaction when you started discussing

2:24:502:24:52

this?

I started this project like I

didn't know the reaction I would

2:24:522:24:56

get. I didn't know if this was

something that happened outside my

2:24:562:25:00

close group of friends and when I

started asking these questions and

2:25:002:25:04

asking do you experience sexual

harassment, I got two responses and

2:25:042:25:09

the first response was oh, yeah, of

course, which one of my ten stories

2:25:092:25:12

do you want? The other kind of

response was, "I don't think

2:25:122:25:17

anything that bad has ever happened

to me." That's when I had to be like

2:25:172:25:21

as anybody ever shouted something

from a moving vehicle at you or

2:25:212:25:26

given you an unwanted compliment or

made you feel uncomfortable? Then it

2:25:262:25:31

was, oh, of course, the floodgates

just opened.

The women and

2:25:312:25:36

equalities committee are going to

look at this and they are asking for

2:25:362:25:38

evidence from women and you are

talking about evidence there. What

2:25:382:25:40

do you think can be done to change?

And just a comment like that, what

2:25:402:25:45

do you think needs to be done for

example?

Well, it is really about

2:25:452:25:50

changing attitudes, I think, and

it's really about kind of continuing

2:25:502:25:54

to raise that awareness and

education at a younger age, this

2:25:542:25:59

being taught at school, you know,

this is not appropriate behaviour,

2:25:592:26:02

you know, you can't treat people

like this in public spaces. I know

2:26:022:26:05

for one when I was growing up, we

never had that education, we had

2:26:052:26:10

your basic sex education, but there

was never anything to do with like

2:26:102:26:13

harassment. So I think really, if

attitudes are to change that needs

2:26:132:26:19

to happen.

We have got pictures of

some of you that contacted you that

2:26:192:26:25

you've taken. Have you had much

feedback from men as well?

Yes.

2:26:252:26:30

Yeah, I was, I didn't really know

the kind of response that I would

2:26:302:26:33

get from men. I was expecting a

backlash, but the more positive

2:26:332:26:39

responses that I got were basically

I had fathers, e-mailing me

2:26:392:26:44

concerned for their daughters

shocked with no idea that this stuff

2:26:442:26:47

happened and I even had elderly men

get in touch with me, apologising

2:26:472:26:51

and saying, "I had no idea. I think

I was one of those perpetrators. I'm

2:26:512:26:57

sorry. Thank you for bringing light

to this."

Thank you very much

2:26:572:27:00

indeed. I think that meeting with

the women and equalities committee

2:27:002:27:03

takes place in March and we'll

report on it going up to that and

2:27:032:27:07

after it as well. 5th March.

I am sure people can find out more

2:27:072:27:15

online.

Yes, Instagram.

2:27:152:27:18

It's time to get the news,

travel and weather where you are.

2:27:182:30:39

Van is talking about that bus

announcement on her show.

2:30:392:30:49

Hello. You are watching with Dan and

Louise. Let us bring you up-to-date

2:30:492:30:54

with some of the main stories.

2:30:542:30:56

Let us bring you up-to-date

with some of the main stories.

2:30:562:30:59

One of Britain's biggest

construction companies,

2:30:592:31:01

Carillion, has been placed

into liquidation this morning.

2:31:012:31:02

Government officials had been

holding talks with the firm's

2:31:022:31:05

creditors throughout the weekend,

but appear to have been unable

2:31:052:31:07

to reach a rescue deal.

2:31:072:31:08

Carillion, which was involved

in many major contracts -

2:31:082:31:10

It's a sad day. Not the outcome that

workers here in Wolverhampton were

2:31:332:31:38

expecting. We have been trying to

speak to some of them but they

2:31:382:31:42

basically have been told not to

comment to the media, of course,

2:31:422:31:47

Carillion, the company quoted as the

organisation that effectively runs

2:31:472:31:51

Britain. They started out as a pure

construction firm, but have evolved

2:31:512:31:57

into a construction and services

company, they employ round 400

2:31:572:32:00

people here, but as you said, 20,000

people across the UK, but another

2:32:002:32:06

20,000 people across the world, and,

we don't know what will happen to

2:32:062:32:10

those job, of course there are

questions about what happens to the

2:32:102:32:14

wider supply chain, contracting

firm, manufacturers who provide

2:32:142:32:18

materials for the constructing firms

and recruitment firms, who rely on a

2:32:182:32:24

lot of the work from Krill I don't

know appoint people, but a sad day

2:32:242:32:30

here, an sad day across the UK for

the construction industry.

So many

2:32:302:32:33

questions we need answered at the

moment.

2:32:332:32:36

Ukip's under-fire leader has refused

to resign from his position,

2:32:362:32:39

but has this morning told Breakfast

he's no longer romantically involved

2:32:392:32:41

with his girlfriend -

after it emerged Jo Marney made

2:32:412:32:44

racist remarks about Prince Harry's

fiancee, Meghan Markle.

2:32:442:32:46

Several senior Ukip members have

called for Mr Bolton's

2:32:462:32:48

swift resignation.

2:32:482:32:49

But he told this programme his

leadership was needed

2:32:492:32:51

to hold the Government

to account on Brexit.

2:32:512:32:58

We've together made the decision

that the romantic element

2:32:582:33:00

of our relationship should end.

2:33:002:33:02

She is utterly distraught, close

to break down over all of this.

2:33:022:33:09

Se never intended these comments

to ever be made public,

2:33:092:33:12

they were made some time ago,

and indeed, although utterly

2:33:122:33:15

indefensible, there is some context

to them, which in time

2:33:152:33:18

will be revealed.

2:33:182:33:19

But the fact is that I'm going to be

supporting her family

2:33:192:33:22

and supporting her in rebuilding her

life, going forward.

2:33:222:33:30

Police in East Yorkshire believe

they've found the body of a man,

2:33:462:33:49

suspected of using a crossbow

to kill his neighbour.

2:33:492:33:51

Officers in Humberside began

searching for 56-year-old

2:33:512:33:53

Anthony Lawrence, following

the death of Shane Gilmer on Friday.

2:33:532:33:55

His pregnant girlfriend,

Laura Sugden, was also seriously

2:33:552:33:57

wounded in the attack.

2:33:572:34:01

A senior coroner will today

deliver his conclusions

2:34:012:34:03

at the second inquest into the death

of the toddler, Poppi Worthington.

2:34:032:34:06

The 13-month-old was found

with serious injuries

2:34:062:34:07

at her home in Cumbria in 2012.

2:34:072:34:09

The controversial first inquest

was quashed by the High Court

2:34:092:34:12

after it lasted just seven minutes

and was shrouded in secrecy.

2:34:122:34:19

Carillion appoint people, but a sad

day here, an sad day across the UK

2:34:252:34:28

for the construction industry. So

many questions we need answered at

2:34:282:34:30

the moment.

Coming up. Our reporters inside the

2:34:302:34:34

largest refugee camp. With the

launch of 500 words creative writing

2:34:342:34:42

competition, we will get tips on how

to spendisational short stories.

2:34:422:34:50

We will win in Adelaide and we will

get beat in pert and win in

2:34:502:34:56

Melbourne.

When it comes to ashing

predictions they may no always be

2:34:562:35:01

right but they are not afraid to

voice their opinion.

2:35:012:35:07

Andrew Flintoff, Robbie Savage

and the Ping Pong guy,

2:35:072:35:09

Matthew Syed will be

here as their award-winning podcast

2:35:092:35:11

returns for a new series.

2:35:112:35:14

I amount sure with them we should

reflect on the sad news of the death

2:35:142:35:23

of Cyril Regis.

He was a pioneering figures one of

2:35:232:35:31

the first generation of black

footballers to kind of change the

2:35:312:35:33

face of game. We see players from

all minorities, from all walks of

2:35:332:35:41

life on the pitch these days and

Cyril Regis was one of the first, he

2:35:412:35:46

started playing in the '70s when the

attitude of fans and the game was

2:35:462:35:51

perhaps different. He received awful

abuse. He has to live there, play

2:35:512:35:57

through, you know him, you said...

He was on Football Focus regularly.

2:35:572:36:03

It came as a shock. He is is a nice

bloke. All the clubs he has played

2:36:032:36:08

for, he is considered a real hero.

People have so much affect hundred

2:36:082:36:13

for him. Many people will be

emotional at news that he has passed

2:36:132:36:18

away.

At such a young age.

2:36:182:36:22

The former England striker Cyrille

Regis has died at the age of 59.

2:36:222:36:25

It's understood he'd

suffered a heart attack.

2:36:252:36:27

Regis was most famous for playing

at West Bromwich Albion,

2:36:272:36:29

where he's considered a legend,

as well as Coventry and Aston Villa.

2:36:292:36:32

He was one of the first black

players to be capped by England.

2:36:322:36:40

Ryan Giggs is set to be named

as the manager of the Wales

2:36:422:36:45

national team today,

succeeding Chris Coleman.

2:36:452:36:46

Giggs' only managerial experience

so far was four games in charge

2:36:462:36:49

of Manchester United

when David Moyes was sacked in 2014.

2:36:492:36:51

Coleman stepped down in November,

after Wales failed to qualify

2:36:512:36:54

for this year's World Cup.

2:36:542:37:01

After 30 games and 281 days,

Manchester City's unbeaten

2:37:012:37:04

Premier League run is finally over.

2:37:042:37:07

They lost 4-3 to Liverpool,

in an incredible match at Anfield.

2:37:072:37:10

Liverpool scored three

goals in eight minutes,

2:37:102:37:11

to go 4-1 up in the second half.

2:37:112:37:19

City did fight back, but they

couldn't find an equaliser -

2:37:202:37:23

they are still 15 points clear

at the top of the table

2:37:232:37:26

but Liverpool are celebrating

a famous victory.

2:37:262:37:29

And - for the first time ever -

Bournemouth beat Arsenal,

2:37:292:37:32

coming from behind in front

of their home crowd to win 2-1,

2:37:322:37:35

thanks to Jordan Ibe.

2:37:352:37:36

His first goal for the club...

2:37:362:37:37

And what a time to score it.

2:37:372:37:43

Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed

the biggest win of his career,

2:37:432:37:46

beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson

in the first round of

2:37:462:37:48

the Australian Open.

2:37:482:37:49

He twice came from a set down

and was trailing 2-0 in the deciding

2:37:492:37:53

set before he took the match

and reached the second round in

2:37:532:37:55

Melbourne for only the second time.

2:37:552:37:57

He'll face Denis Istomin next.

2:37:572:38:00

And there were a couple of surprises

in the women's draw -

2:38:002:38:03

Venus Williams and the US Open

champion Sloane Stephens have

2:38:032:38:06

both been knocked out

in the opening round.

2:38:062:38:13

Billy Vunipola is set to miss

England's Six Nations campaign.

2:38:162:38:19

He broke his arm playing

for Saracens in their draw

2:38:192:38:21

with Ospreys over the weekend.

2:38:212:38:22

It was only his second game back

after a long lay-off

2:38:222:38:25

after a knee operation.

2:38:252:38:31

More bad luck I am afraid for Billy

Vunipola. He was one of the players

2:38:312:38:36

who spoke out about the risk that

rugby player put themselves at by

2:38:362:38:45

playing so hard, once again another

injury for poor old Billy.

2:38:452:38:50

A really big issue, he has been one

of the more outspoken players on the

2:38:502:38:54

issue.

2:38:542:38:54

issue.

2:38:542:38:57

Since August of last year,

more than half a million

2:38:572:39:00

Rohingya Muslims, have been forced

to flee violence and

2:39:002:39:02

persecution in Myanmar.

2:39:022:39:03

The United Nations has described

the military offensive that provoked

2:39:032:39:05

the exodus as a "textbook example

of ethnic cleansing".

2:39:052:39:07

Many have sought refuge

in neighbouring Bangladesh,

2:39:072:39:09

in what has become the world's

largest refugee camp.

2:39:092:39:11

Our South Asia Correspondent,

Justin Rowlatt, is there

2:39:112:39:13

Our South Asia correspondent,

Justin Rowlatt, is there

2:39:132:39:15

for us this morning.

2:39:152:39:24

Good morning to you.

We are right in

the middle of this huge camp. There

2:39:252:39:35

is 850,000 refugees roughly in the

south-east corner of Bangladesh, we

2:39:352:39:38

are in the middle of the largest

camp. There was about 650,000 people

2:39:382:39:44

here. I am joined by Tony Stewart of

the World Health Organisation.

It is

2:39:442:39:48

your job to manage health within the

camp. This is fairly typical. It is

2:39:482:39:53

a nice bit of refugee camp but this

is fairly typical. Take a look at

2:39:532:39:56

this and tell us what risks can you

as an expert see a looking at the

2:39:562:40:01

camp.

You can see there are open

drains, that will be a problem when

2:40:012:40:06

the wet season comes along, in a

couple of months, we have to be

2:40:062:40:12

prepared for that, the other is

mosquito borne diseases, the risk of

2:40:122:40:19

things like malaria Kevin lie tips,

that is high. We are preparing for

2:40:192:40:23

the problems but we need to stop the

outbreaks before they start.

That is

2:40:232:40:26

a menu of illness you have listed

there. But the rains begin soon,

2:40:262:40:32

they begin in April. More, twice as

much rain in April than in the

2:40:322:40:37

rainiest month in Britain. It only

gets wetter after that. That is a

2:40:372:40:41

huge challenge here isn't it.

It is

enormous, it is one of the things we

2:40:412:40:45

are most worry about. The risk of

waterborne diseases are enormous, we

2:40:452:40:52

have got programmes in place for

vaccination to presoent of these

2:40:522:40:57

thing, that we will focus on those

most.

One of the things that struck

2:40:572:41:00

me, I was here at the beginning of

September when the crisis begun, is

2:41:002:41:06

how resilient, how strong the people

have been.

2:41:062:41:08

how resilient, how strong the people

have been. They have built these

2:41:082:41:11

community, it may look like shacks

but they are sturdy construction,

2:41:112:41:14

how do you feel, you have worked

with the people. How strong are

2:41:142:41:18

they? How well have they responded

to this.

They are very resilient,

2:41:182:41:25

that is something we need to lean

upon because community based

2:41:252:41:30

programmes looking for new cases of

disease and to work for getting out

2:41:302:41:34

health care messages will be crucial

to this. The Government's been

2:41:342:41:38

supportive, we are working with

Government and partners to role roll

2:41:382:41:43

these programmes out and we will

lean heavily on the community worker

2:41:432:41:48

hearse, helping to control health

and prevent outbreaks of disease

2:41:482:41:50

here.

Excellent Tony Stewart of the

World Health Organisation, thank you

2:41:502:41:54

very much indeed. So as I say, the

first cyclone, this is a really

2:41:542:41:59

cyclone prone area, the first

cyclones are likely to come in in

2:41:592:42:02

April. You have months of them and

this awful monsoon season, look at

2:42:022:42:07

this environment, look at the house,

look at the conditions here and just

2:42:072:42:11

imagine what it will be like when

the rains come, huge challenges for

2:42:112:42:15

the people here, but challenges that

they are rising to, so from the

2:42:152:42:20

refugee camps here in Bangladesh,

back to you in Britain.

2:42:202:42:28

Thank you for that, the drone

footage shows you the sheer size and

2:42:292:42:33

scale.

2:42:332:42:37

Carillion employees should keep

coming to work and will get paid.

2:42:372:42:40

That's the message this morning

from the government,

2:42:402:42:42

which says it will provide funding

to maintain services after the firm

2:42:422:42:45

went into liquidation.

2:42:452:42:46

David Liddington is the Cabinet

Office Minister and he joins us now.

2:42:462:42:52

Morning to you, thank you very much.

So many questions to find out about

2:42:522:42:55

the impact of all o this. Carillion

going into liquidation today, 20,000

2:42:552:43:01

jobs are they safe?

Anybody who is

employed on a public service

2:43:012:43:06

contract should come into work

confident their wages and salaries

2:43:062:43:09

will be paid, we made arrangements

as Government and this is working

2:43:092:43:14

through the rest of the state

system, to pay to the official serve

2:43:142:43:19

who is in charge of winding up

Carillion, rather than Carillion, we

2:43:192:43:25

had the money earmarked from the

wages and salary in Government

2:43:252:43:29

budgets so we are continuing to pay

those today. People should come into

2:43:292:43:33

work.

Let us talk about the services

they currently run. They are

2:43:332:43:37

involved in all sorts of thing, in

school, hospitalses, prisons and on

2:43:372:43:42

the railway, what happens to those?

That work continues which is why we

2:43:422:43:46

need the people to carry on. I have

been clear and the Government has

2:43:462:43:49

been clear, that it is not our

responsibility to bail out the

2:43:492:43:56

shareholders, or lenders of

Carillion, and they sadly are going

2:43:562:44:00

to take a big hit from the collapse

of the company, our priority is to

2:44:002:44:05

protect key public services, and

that is what we are doing, in

2:44:052:44:09

ensuring that those service

contracts continue to be funded via

2:44:092:44:13

the official receiver, now, as the

official receiver analyses

2:44:132:44:18

Carillion's businesses, its

different contract, what we will see

2:44:182:44:21

is some of that public service

business being let out to

2:44:212:44:26

alternative contractors, other

aspects may well be brought in house

2:44:262:44:30

by the particular Government

department or agency, or local

2:44:302:44:36

authority concerned, and that will

be done in an ordinary gradual

2:44:362:44:40

fashion.

Can we talk about the

money, you say you have it

2:44:402:44:43

earmarked, how much will it cost?

It

is Michelle Obama we are paying

2:44:432:44:47

anywhere, we are not paying twice,

we pay for the service as we receive

2:44:472:44:51

them, whether that is maintenance in

the Prison Service, or whether that

2:44:512:44:57

is a construction contract, or

whether it is cleaning in a

2:44:572:45:01

hospital, we were up to yesterday

paying that money to Krill I don't

2:45:012:45:05

know for services given. We will be

paying it through the official

2:45:052:45:08

serve. It the same money.

Let us

talk about the major projects,

2:45:082:45:14

investments for example and there is

many of them. The royal Liverpool

2:45:142:45:19

hospital, the Doon bypass, HS2, what

happens to those?

Well, in many

2:45:192:45:25

cases those are the subject of joint

venture arrangement where Carillion

2:45:252:45:30

was one of a number of different

contractors involved, and the HS2

2:45:302:45:35

contract, it is true of some of the

defence maintenance contracts and in

2:45:352:45:41

those case, the other partners now

come in and they take up Carillion's

2:45:412:45:45

share of the business. So if it was

a three-way contract it becomes two

2:45:452:45:51

contractors who split the costs and

the opportunities 50-50.

2:45:512:45:59

I know there was stress testing

before some of these, but they are

2:45:592:46:03

in place to take on these last

contracts.

In many cases, there is a

2:46:032:46:09

contractual obligation that all of

those contractors knew when they

2:46:092:46:13

signed up. And yes, this is

something that the different

2:46:132:46:18

government departments and agencies,

who are responsible for various

2:46:182:46:22

aspects of the Carillion contracting

have been looking at over recent

2:46:222:46:27

weeks, in some cases, months, and

checking there is the capacity to

2:46:272:46:31

take things up. You mentioned

Aberdeen. Where something is

2:46:312:46:34

devolved, there is the Scottish

Government there. Some other

2:46:342:46:41

contracts might be administered by

local authorities. The relevant

2:46:412:46:44

Whitehall departments have been in

touch there and we have been keeping

2:46:442:46:49

the devolved administrations in

Scotland and Wales in the loop as

2:46:492:46:52

well.

Can I ask why the government

was giving out new contracts when

2:46:522:46:57

the company had already issued

profit warnings? Why did that

2:46:572:47:02

happen?

Each department operated on

the basis of the publicly known in

2:47:022:47:07

legal rules that govern the award of

government contracts, and in the way

2:47:072:47:12

that I have just described, if you

look at those central government

2:47:122:47:16

contracts that were agreed, that

involved Carillion post July 2017,

2:47:162:47:22

you will see that they had joint

bench partners who are there to take

2:47:222:47:28

up the slack so that risk was

covered.

We have been told this

2:47:282:47:33

morning on this programme, and there

is so much concern about this from

2:47:332:47:38

an organisation representing

suppliers, that some of them will

2:47:382:47:41

collapse. This will have impacts on

all sorts of people. What about the

2:47:412:47:45

suppliers, what about the people who

work for them?

Just as we are saying

2:47:452:47:51

to employees, that we are continuing

to pay your wages and salaries, so

2:47:512:47:55

we are saying to suppliers, you can

continue to supply, we will continue

2:47:552:48:02

to pay you for those supplies, it

will be rooted by the official

2:48:022:48:07

receiver and not Carillion.

Who say

the money is there. Some people are

2:48:072:48:11

concerned that the taxpayer will be

left with a large bill because this

2:48:112:48:16

has happened.

We are not paying

twice. So for example, if there is a

2:48:162:48:23

contract that Carillion should carry

out, hospital cleaning and

2:48:232:48:29

maintenance somewhere, then that

money will have been a marked in the

2:48:292:48:32

budget by the Department of Health

or the local NHS Trust. But money

2:48:322:48:36

will still be there in the budget

from this morning onwards, instead

2:48:362:48:39

of that money going into Carillion's

bank account, that will go into the

2:48:392:48:43

bank account of the official

receiver so it can be passed on to

2:48:432:48:48

the suppliers accordingly.

And I

know you will be involved in these

2:48:482:48:51

talks, when it came to the fact that

this would have to be liquidated, do

2:48:512:48:57

see it as a failure?

I think it is a

matter of great regret that the

2:48:572:49:01

company which had been very hopeful,

that they had come to deal with

2:49:012:49:05

their lenders, was unsuccessful in

doing that. It could not be for

2:49:052:49:12

taxpayers to come forward and

bailout private sector risk. Our job

2:49:122:49:16

as government was to protect the

continuity of public services. That

2:49:162:49:20

is where our focus remains.

David Liddington, thank you. I feel

2:49:202:49:25

we need to give Carol a proper

introduction today. Oh, lovely Carol

2:49:252:49:31

Kirkwood, pretty Carol Kirkwood we

love you! That was fabulous. That

2:49:312:49:37

was probably the best introduction I

have ever had in my life! I am in

2:49:372:49:47

front of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Why? Because Chris Evans on his

2:49:472:49:50

Radio 2 show launched the

competition 500 words. This is to

2:49:502:49:56

encourage children to read and write

more and they are encouraged to

2:49:562:50:00

write 500 words of fiction and enter

it into the competition. The closing

2:50:002:50:05

date is Thursday 22nd of February

and the live final will take place

2:50:052:50:09

on Friday the 8th of June. That will

happen at Hampton Court Palace

2:50:092:50:15

Festival where you may see

characters like Henry VIII and Anne

2:50:152:50:18

Boleyn. Good morning. Don't they

look fabulous? If you want to take

2:50:182:50:25

part, you can find details on the

BBC Radio to website and on Facebook

2:50:252:50:30

as well. Some of the prizes for

first prize include a spin in Chitty

2:50:302:50:35

Chitty Bang Bang around the Hampton

Court Palace Festival. But other

2:50:352:50:41

things, the children will win Chris

Evans' height in books for

2:50:412:50:48

themselves and the children who come

second and third will also win books

2:50:482:50:53

for themselves and books for their

school. So well worth getting

2:50:532:50:58

involved in this. Hopefully, the

weather on that day will be better

2:50:582:51:01

than it is today. Today, what we

have is a wet start for many of us.

2:51:012:51:06

We have rain across the south-east

with blustery winds and as the rain

2:51:062:51:10

clears from the south-east, all of

us will have a day of blustery

2:51:102:51:16

showers.

2:51:162:51:17

Increasingly through the day it will

turn colder. In Scotland we have

2:51:212:51:26

some showers and snow showers.

Across the north of England we have

2:51:262:51:33

showers and heavy bursts. In the

south-east we have again heavy rain

2:51:332:51:36

and gusty winds. That will move away

to the near continent. For the rest

2:51:362:51:40

of southern England, still some rain

around, as there is a cross Wales

2:51:402:51:44

but it is not a cold start to the

day here. Temperatures are already

2:51:442:51:51

1011 selfies. The Northern Ireland

you will find the rain has already

2:51:512:51:56

cleared and there we have bright

spells and Sunnis of -- 10-11dC.

2:51:562:52:07

This morning temperatures will go

down as we go through the course of

2:52:072:52:10

the afternoon. All of us will see

some blustery showers increasingly

2:52:102:52:16

to lower levels across Scotland and

then later across lower levels to

2:52:162:52:21

Northern Ireland. It will be cold in

the north. Temperatures are little

2:52:212:52:25

higher as we come through the south.

This evening and overnight we

2:52:252:52:28

continue with snow at lower levels

across Scotland, Northern Ireland

2:52:282:52:33

and northern England. There will

also be some winteriness in the

2:52:332:52:36

showers

2:52:362:52:41

showers across Wales and we could

see them hail and it will be cold

2:52:412:52:45

enough for the risk of ice on

untreated surfaces. Tomorrow we

2:52:452:52:50

start with snow across Scotland,

Northern Ireland and northern

2:52:502:52:55

England, starting to cumin eight.

Almost anywhere tomorrow we could

2:52:552:53:01

see some winteriness coming out of

the showers. The further south you

2:53:012:53:05

are the likelihood is it will be on

the hills. Do expect some hail and

2:53:052:53:09

also some thunder and lightning.

Cold in the north, not as cold in

2:53:092:53:15

the south. For Wednesday, drier,

still a breezy day. Then we have an

2:53:152:53:20

area of low pressure coming in from

the west. It will bring some snowed

2:53:202:53:27

in northern parts of the UK and

possibly destructive winds across

2:53:272:53:31

the West and south. That is

something to keep an eye on the

2:53:312:53:34

specially later on Wednesday into

Thursday. What a pleasure it has

2:53:342:53:40

been being here. I want to show you

something. Listen to this.

2:53:402:53:54

HORN TOOTS. Thank you, Carol!

2:53:552:54:00

Joining us on the sofa to talk

about the BBC Radio 2,

2:54:052:54:08

500 words competition,

are former Blue Peter presenters

2:54:082:54:09

Barney Harwood and Helen Skelton

and author Charlie Higson.

2:54:092:54:17

Good morning, all. Thank you for

joining us. I don't know where to

2:54:182:54:21

start after all of that! 500 words

is a short amount getting to a

2:54:212:54:29

cracking story.

Yes and writing

things shorter can be so much

2:54:292:54:33

harder. But I think it is good for a

kid because it is not intimidating.

2:54:332:54:41

They only have to write 500 words

and as long as they think of it like

2:54:412:54:44

a joke. It needs to pack a punch.

You can really do that in 500 words.

2:54:442:54:48

The kids to have written stories

over the years have been so

2:54:482:54:51

innovative in the way they have used

the format and played with the idea.

2:54:512:54:59

Some of them are truly brilliant.

You have been involved right from

2:54:592:55:01

the start and it has spiralled into

this huge beast. Sam-macro three

2:55:012:55:05

quarters of a million children have

got in touch and written the

2:55:052:55:08

stories. What we're doing is

unlocking the imagination and saying

2:55:082:55:12

you can do what you want. The genius

that Chris Evans came up with the

2:55:122:55:21

idea.

You don't expect them, I don't

know why you don't expect children

2:55:212:55:28

to be able to do it.

You think, I

see what they did there.

Some

2:55:282:55:34

stories make you cry.

And the

stories get read out by really

2:55:342:55:42

famous actors...

And me

occasionally!

Don't do yourself

2:55:422:55:46

down!

It is wonderful hearing them, isn't

2:55:462:55:50

it?

And I think it has got so big

and they are of such good quality

2:55:502:55:56

which is why BBC Learning have

launched this live lesson. Charlie

2:55:562:56:02

is involved, we have Madelyn Harris

from Paddington and all teachers

2:56:022:56:06

have to do is log on to the website

and they can watch it.

We are your

2:56:062:56:12

teachers for the day effectively.

In

terms of tips, we have also got, the

2:56:122:56:18

idea is about how to write a good

book from David Walliams who I think

2:56:182:56:22

knows a thing or two. I think he has

the top five in the world.

2:56:222:56:30

The top tip I'd say to you is write

the kind of story that

2:56:302:56:33

you would like to read.

2:56:332:56:34

And you can't make other

people laugh unless you

2:56:342:56:37

make yourself laugh.

2:56:372:56:37

So, if you're sat there chuckling

as you're writing your story,

2:56:372:56:40

you're on to something good.

2:56:402:56:41

If you're coming up with a scary

story and you yourself

2:56:412:56:44

are scared by what's

going on in your imagination,

2:56:442:56:46

you're on to something good.

2:56:462:56:51

Absolutely. So while you are here,

having written a good few books

2:56:512:56:57

yourself, top tips?

That is what I

love as children Potter author,

2:56:572:57:03

being by David Walliams! -- as a

children's author. What was the

2:57:032:57:11

question?

Give us some top tips on

how to write this.

The thing is is

2:57:112:57:17

to enjoy it. What I love about this

competition is it is not something

2:57:172:57:21

you have to do for school, it is

something to do for fun. The ones we

2:57:212:57:25

love reading the most are the ones

where you can tell the kid has had a

2:57:252:57:30

lot of fun writing the story and

coming up with ideas. You don't have

2:57:302:57:34

to worry about spelling and

punctuation, just

2:57:342:57:41

tell a great little story and have

fun and entertain someone.

There

2:57:492:57:51

will be some children who will do

this as part of lets all write a

2:57:512:57:54

story together, and you can feel

anxious. It does not have to be the

2:57:542:57:57

greatest story in the world, it is

about letting your imagination flow

2:57:572:58:00

a bit?

There are no right or wrong

answers. We were talking about what

2:58:002:58:03

is a great end or a great beginning?

Anything goes. Some of the

2:58:032:58:08

successful ones have been a bit

quirky. One was a series of e-mails

2:58:082:58:14

or text. Anything goes and you

cannot go wrong.

It all starts with

2:58:142:58:20

one idea. Just drop that idea down

and draw the lines of it and see

2:58:202:58:26

where it goes. We have a machine

called a fabulator and it put words

2:58:262:58:35

on the screen. You can get ideas

from anywhere.

He has got a set with

2:58:352:58:41

toys in it.

And costumes!

And tell

us about the prizes, they are

2:58:412:58:49

wonderful prizes.

It is £1 million

first prize!

I think it is books.

2:58:492:58:57

You win your height in books or

Chris Evans' height in books and

2:58:572:59:03

also the Duchess of Cornwall.

It is

all in Hampton Court and you get to

2:59:032:59:11

drive in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,

you get the on the Thames.

And it is

2:59:112:59:16

a great day.

It is fantastic and it

is all done live on Chris's show.

2:59:162:59:23

And there are fantastic actors to

read the stories, and you can see

2:59:232:59:26

that the kids just love it.

And I

think the parents love it as well.

2:59:262:59:31

Everyone is proud of their kid's

picture or drawing, but to hear your

2:59:312:59:36

child's story read out on national

radio by an award-winning actor.

And

2:59:362:59:42

I suppose back on the day when it

started, I know some people have it

2:59:422:59:45

as part of lessons but in the

beginning it was not like that?

2:59:452:59:52

It wasn't so much Chris's work that

got it to where it is, it was the

2:59:522:59:57

children that picked it up and went,

we can do this, they want us to. It

2:59:573:00:02

has gone mad.

We are encouraging

teachers to log on and watch it on

3:00:023:00:05

the website. It doesn't have to be

in a classroom, you can do it after

3:00:053:00:09

home after school. You go on the

live lessons website.

How old were

3:00:093:00:16

you when you started writing?

Nine

or ten.

Did you choose to do it.

I

3:00:163:00:20

loved it. The idea you could take a

pen and paper and you could make up

3:00:203:00:26

something that had hasn't existed

before. Storied that never been

3:00:263:00:30

told, I thought that was a kind of

magic and I still do.

You have

3:00:303:00:36

written books as well. No, I

read,

them.

Less successfully than

3:00:363:00:40

Charlie.

Is it the seed of an idea.

I rambled and rambled and the

3:00:403:00:49

publisher was like, no you need to

put it into one, let us slim this

3:00:493:00:53

down. It goes and I think the

hardest thing for me was finding an

3:00:533:00:59

ending, so's

I have had a good idea

for a book, it is about a granny who

3:00:593:01:07

steals the Crown jewels from the

Tower of London. She is a bit of a

3:01:073:01:10

gangster...

I think someone has...

Last night we saw what the Crown

3:01:103:01:15

jewels looked like, if anybody was

watching the Queen talking about...

3:01:153:01:21

She was throwing them round like she

owns them. Radio 2's story writing

3:01:213:01:27

competition opens today.

Entries close... On 22nd February,

3:01:273:01:33

full details can be found on the 500

words 2018 website. Thank you for

3:01:333:01:39

coming

3:01:393:01:39

words 2018 website.

3:01:393:01:40

in.

3:01:403:01:40

Thank you for coming in.

3:01:403:01:41

In a few moments, we'll be joined

by Freddie Flintoff,

3:01:413:01:44

Robbie Savage and the Ping Pong guy,

Matthew Syed.

3:01:443:01:46

First though, let's take a last,

brief look at the headlines

3:01:463:01:48

where you are this morning.

3:01:483:03:33

It's a simple concept.

3:03:433:03:45

A former cricketer, an ex-footballer

and a table-tennis-player

3:03:453:03:46

turned sports-writer come together

to discuss some of the biggest

3:03:463:03:49

sporting issues of the week.

3:03:493:03:50

Yet, "Flintoff, Savage

and the Ping Pong Guy" has become

3:03:503:03:57

a multi-award winning podcast.

3:03:573:04:01

It includes a healthy dose of fun

but - covering everything from life

3:04:013:04:04

on other planets to depression

amongst sportspeople -

3:04:043:04:06

the hosts aren't afraid to tackle

more difficult subjects too.

3:04:063:04:08

In a moment, we'll speak

to the men behind the show -

3:04:083:04:11

Andrew Flintoff, Robbie Savage

and Matthew Syed.

3:04:113:04:13

But first here's a taste.

3:04:133:04:20

Do you think there are aliens,

like, hanging round?

3:04:223:04:26

Why wouldn't there be?

3:04:263:04:28

Hang on, there's aliens

walking around now.

3:04:283:04:30

What, do you think there is a chance

that Robbie is an alien?

3:04:303:04:33

He's different, but I wouldn't

say he's an alien.

3:04:333:04:35

The person who has severe mental

illness, and has done for 30 years,

3:04:353:04:38

over 30 years, won't publicly

talk about it.

3:04:383:04:40

So I can't talk

about it, this person.

3:04:403:04:48

Why is it so expensive

to watch football?

3:04:523:04:54

I agree with that,

I agree with that.

3:04:543:04:56

Bring the prices down.

3:04:563:04:57

Bring them down.

3:04:573:04:58

But that guy, that guy

in the white van...

3:04:583:05:00

Don't charge £6 for a pint and £14

for a burger and a dodgy pie.

3:05:003:05:03

Make it inclusive.

3:05:033:05:04

Bring your family.

3:05:043:05:05

I agree.

3:05:053:05:07

I'll never forgive myself.

3:05:073:05:08

I've not told this to many people,

but you know they used to go

3:05:083:05:12

every day to Wrexham,

and that day, I wasn't

3:05:123:05:14

there, you know...

3:05:143:05:15

I'll never forgive myself for that.

3:05:153:05:20

Joining us on the sofa now

are Andrew Flintoff,

3:05:203:05:22

Robbie Savage and Matthew Syed.

3:05:223:05:27

I was running through your awards.

Who knows, how many have brow got?

3:05:273:05:33

Three, two for the show, one

individually for Andrew and best new

3:05:333:05:35

presenter.

I'm 40! Best new

presenter!

And worse he doesn't

3:05:353:05:42

present the show. I knew there are

would be sore feelings about it.

We

3:05:423:05:47

are meant to be a team.

You don't

want to start the new series with

3:05:473:05:53

awkwardness.

It is about 75% of the

show, I enjoy, is conflict. Mainly

3:05:533:05:59

between Fred and Robbie. Robbie gets

hammered a lot.

You two shop at

3:05:593:06:06

different places. He is looking

great and you have just got off your

3:06:063:06:12

yacht.

At least a made an effort.

Last time you were on you were

3:06:123:06:20

ripping it out of him because you

say he wore the wrong shirt, the

3:06:203:06:27

podcast was you caning him.

He had a

light blue shirt, the biggest sweat

3:06:273:06:33

patch upon the next hour we were

trying to say Matthew, you looked

3:06:333:06:38

all right.

Mike, the producer, a

brilliant producer consummate

3:06:383:06:45

professional. Freddie is with in one

of those moods. He got hammered. But

3:06:453:06:51

there is nice stuff on the show too.

I glad you mentioned about life on

3:06:513:06:58

other planet, the flat earth.

We did

one of the pods, I love a conspiracy

3:06:583:07:04

theory, so we did conspiracy theory,

I listened to a podcast called the

3:07:043:07:09

flat earther, if you listen to them

they will convince you the world is

3:07:093:07:12

flat. It is brilliant. I had come

off the back of a flat earth podcast

3:07:123:07:18

thinking the world is flat. It was

their conspiracy, all of a sudden

3:07:183:07:24

I'm a flat earther.

I am glad you

have made that clear.

I think it is

3:07:243:07:29

morph a turnip.

I spent a bit of

time listening to your ashes

3:07:293:07:34

forecasts.

They went very good.

Shall we have than. To remind you in

3:07:343:07:39

case you can't remember.

We will

lose at the Gabba, the pink ball.

3:07:393:07:49

That will suit England.

We will get

beat in Perth. Fast and bouncy, then

3:07:493:07:55

we will win in Melbourne and Sydney.

3-2.

It's highbrow stuff isn't it.

3:07:553:08:02

It is all about opinion, you have to

throw them out there.

I think the

3:08:023:08:07

world is flat. But I didn't see much

of the Ashes. But, let us be honest

3:08:073:08:12

we got outplayed. That was plain and

simple. A lot people put different

3:08:123:08:17

reasons why we got beat, we weren't

good enough. But, you know what, it

3:08:173:08:24

takes the heat off me getting 5-0 as

Captain. I took the blame for that.

3:08:243:08:27

I am not having that any more.

How

do you come up with the ideas? You

3:08:273:08:33

discuss all sort of things.

It is a

broad range, we have done mental

3:08:333:08:40

health, conspiracy theory, we talked

about the one time in hiss triwe

3:08:403:08:43

would most like to go back and see,

I chose going back and seeing Jesus

3:08:433:08:48

Christ, it would be fascinating,

Freddie came up with another time,

3:08:483:08:53

decided he wanted to go back to the

Wild West, wear a stet son and go

3:08:533:08:57

into a bar.

Butch Cassidy type. That

would have suited you.

I said I

3:08:573:09:04

wanted to see horses.

You can see

them without travelling back in

3:09:043:09:07

time.

I understand that, I thought

about being a cowboy, I can see them

3:09:073:09:13

where I live.

Robbie is like the

executive producer, Robbie it is

3:09:133:09:20

fair to say he is on the phone all

the time, perhaps slightly too much,

3:09:203:09:26

on the whats an group, triggering

ideas, if he is worried that it

3:09:263:09:30

might cross the line, he is on the

phone to a lawyer, would this be

3:09:303:09:34

defamatory, he is all over it.

You

have to be careful.

He is the one

3:09:343:09:38

who drives it.

He does.

When we

started the podcast, we enjoyed

3:09:383:09:44

doing it. We never expected the how

popular, working with Rob, and we

3:09:443:09:50

never expected awards or anything

like that, because it will honest

3:09:503:09:55

doing it is enough. Out of all the

stuff I do I enjoy, we turn up, talk

3:09:553:10:00

for a lot.

He is does a lot.

That is

great thing, when you start

3:10:003:10:06

listening you never know the

trekkion it is going to go in.

I

3:10:063:10:09

don't think we do to be honest.

That

is part of the magic. Will you touch

3:10:093:10:14

on Wales today and Ryan Giggs, this

afternoon should be unveiled as the

3:10:143:10:18

new manager.

It is a sore subject,

he thought he was going to get it.

3:10:183:10:25

Well I didn't Andrew, I think it

will be a fantastic appointment.

3:10:253:10:29

People saying he didn't play that

many friendlies for his country,

3:10:293:10:33

but, he was a passionate Welshman,

no doubt about it. Mark Hughes's

3:10:333:10:38

first job had no experience, he was

playing for Southampton when he got

3:10:383:10:43

the job, he took the job are and did

well. His first opportunity as a

3:10:433:10:48

Welsh manager. I think he will be

good. He was my Captain, and he has

3:10:483:10:53

an aura about him, for the

youngster, they will listen to him.

3:10:533:10:56

He has been there, done it. It is a

fantastic appointment.

That could be

3:10:563:11:02

a good topic, my sense is players

get to the end of their careers and

3:11:023:11:06

they assume because they have been

good players and Giggs one of the

3:11:063:11:10

greatest, they can transition into

being a great coach. My sense is by

3:11:103:11:14

and large coaching is a different

set of skill, you have to empathise

3:11:143:11:20

be people, explain stuff. Fred and

Rob are nodding off at this point.

I

3:11:203:11:25

wish you could have seen that. I

wish we could have seen you having a

3:11:253:11:31

snuggle on the sofa. At that point

you lose concentration do you.

3:11:313:11:39

That's when he gets edited out.

I

like the psychology, I am with you.

3:11:393:11:45

And these two, they do get, that I

get into that part of it, you know,

3:11:453:11:48

some of the stuff I have learned

like parenting, we talked about

3:11:483:11:54

parenting, I have younger kids than

Rob and Fred, but how do you

3:11:543:11:57

encourage your kids to be in to

sport, and to, but not to push them,

3:11:573:12:02

no to take the fun out of sport.

We

are on the podcast as well.

3:12:023:12:09

Something else, sad news, get your

take on this, talking about the

3:12:093:12:12

death of Cyrille Regis at the age of

59. He is someone who was a

3:12:123:12:17

trailblazer, one of the first

generation of black footballers and

3:12:173:12:20

had a real impact, not just on

football but across sport. It was so

3:12:203:12:24

racially abused in the '70s, and way

he spoke about in his later career,

3:12:243:12:29

he was important for so many other

footballers.

That was a big

3:12:293:12:34

watershed, no just in sport, I went

to the first game that a black

3:12:343:12:39

player played for England, Viv

Anderson in 1978. Cyrille Regis was

3:12:393:12:43

in that cohort of player who took

terrible abuse from the strands, --

3:12:433:12:47

stands and had to show resilience

and grace to get through it and to

3:12:473:12:51
