Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 0:00:07 | 0:00:12 | |
Crunch time for Carillion -
emergency talks continue | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
to save the construction giant
who runs 900 schools, | 0:00:14 | 0:00:17 | |
highways and prisons. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:17 | |
But critics say warnings
about the firm's financial | 0:00:17 | 0:00:20 | |
troubles were ignored. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:28 | |
I'll be looking at what it means for
the 20,000 UK workers and projects | 0:00:31 | 0:00:38 | |
like HS2. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:43 | |
Good morning, it's
Monday 15th January. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:47 | |
Also this morning - | 0:00:47 | 0:00:54 | |
Under pressure - UKIP leader,
Henry Bolton, faces calls to quit, | 0:00:54 | 0:00:57 | |
after his girlfriend
made racist remarks | 0:00:57 | 0:00:59 | |
about Prince Harry's fiancee. | 0:00:59 | 0:01:04 | |
Inside the world's largest
refugee camp in Bangladesh, | 0:01:04 | 0:01:06 | |
where hundreds of thousands
of Rohingya refugees have fled | 0:01:06 | 0:01:08 | |
violence in Myanmar. | 0:01:08 | 0:01:15 | |
In sport -
its Giggs for Wales. | 0:01:15 | 0:01:17 | |
The Manchester United legend will be
named the new national coach later - | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
replacing Chris Coleman. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:21 | |
And Carol has the weather. | 0:01:21 | 0:01:25 | |
Good morning from outside the BBC
here in London. I will tell you why | 0:01:25 | 0:01:30 | |
you're a here as a go through the
morning but in the weather, while we | 0:01:30 | 0:01:33 | |
have a band of heavy rain and strong
winds, behind it, we have lost three | 0:01:33 | 0:01:37 | |
showers, some of which will be
wintry in the hills in the north. -- | 0:01:37 | 0:01:42 | |
blustery. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
Crucial talks are due to take place
between creditors and government | 0:01:47 | 0:01:51 | |
officials later in an attempt to
save one of Britain's biggest | 0:01:51 | 0:01:55 | |
construction -- construction firms.
Karelian is involved in HS2 and | 0:01:55 | 0:01:59 | |
crossrail and it has £900 million of
debts. -- Carillion. | 0:01:59 | 0:02:06 | |
From schools, hospitals, prisons,
roads, railways and the National | 0:02:06 | 0:02:10 | |
Grid. Carillion is at the greed of
the vast portfolio of public sector | 0:02:10 | 0:02:15 | |
construction projects and
maintenance services. But it is in | 0:02:15 | 0:02:19 | |
deep financial trouble. Problems are
broad and spiralling costs on some | 0:02:19 | 0:02:23 | |
major here mean it is struggling to
manage debts of around £900 million. | 0:02:23 | 0:02:30 | |
And attention deficit of over half a
billion. The banks that Karelian | 0:02:30 | 0:02:34 | |
owes money to will meet government
officials today at Whitehall -- | 0:02:34 | 0:02:38 | |
Carillion. They will be trying to
avoid administration. They want the | 0:02:38 | 0:02:44 | |
government to guarantee money if
Carillion can't make its payments | 0:02:44 | 0:02:47 | |
but in fact, that would be bailing
out a private company, one that had | 0:02:47 | 0:02:51 | |
been paying out dividends to its
shareholder was as recently as last | 0:02:51 | 0:02:55 | |
June. -- shareholders. With hundreds
and thousands of subcontractors | 0:02:55 | 0:03:01 | |
working on Carillion projects, the
effects of the firm going under | 0:03:01 | 0:03:04 | |
could be devastating. | 0:03:04 | 0:03:07 | |
So much to chat about. We know the
talks are ongoing, Steph. How did | 0:03:07 | 0:03:13 | |
they get into this situation? It is
interesting because it is a huge | 0:03:13 | 0:03:19 | |
company that runs so many different
parts of our lives, hospitals, | 0:03:19 | 0:03:22 | |
schools, as I was saying. Also big
construction projects. The problem | 0:03:22 | 0:03:27 | |
is, there is not as much money to be
made in these areas now. When these | 0:03:27 | 0:03:31 | |
companies are fighting for
government projects, they will often | 0:03:31 | 0:03:34 | |
put in pretty low margins in order
to be able to do it. If anything | 0:03:34 | 0:03:38 | |
goes wrong in those projects, it
means that if there is any delays, | 0:03:38 | 0:03:43 | |
which they have been in some of the
big ones, like the Royal Liverpool | 0:03:43 | 0:03:47 | |
Hospital, it can mean they don't
have enough money to keep things | 0:03:47 | 0:03:50 | |
going because they are not making a
massive amount of money any more. | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
They have seen big projects not make
as much money because of delays and | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
various other things. Also some of
their contracts abroad. In the | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
Middle East, they have been slow
getting payments from that. It is | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
their cash flow. This is not a
business that does not have any | 0:04:09 | 0:04:13 | |
business. It not like when sometimes
we talk about retailers and they | 0:04:13 | 0:04:16 | |
have lost customers. It is the fact
they have not managed their cash | 0:04:16 | 0:04:20 | |
flow. They haven't got the money now
to be able to pay the debts so they | 0:04:20 | 0:04:25 | |
owe the banks a lot of money and the
banks have been kind to them already | 0:04:25 | 0:04:29 | |
recently by allowing them to not
have too pay them so fast. It is | 0:04:29 | 0:04:33 | |
coming to the point where everyone
is going, hang on a minute, we have | 0:04:33 | 0:04:37 | |
given the ages. What are you doing
about it, we are still struggling to | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
get our money back. That is the
issue. Even though there are lots of | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
talks going on to work out whether
they can afford to make these | 0:04:45 | 0:04:49 | |
payments, the banks will be asking
for a bit of a commitment from the | 0:04:49 | 0:04:52 | |
government but then the alarm bells
started ringing, are we bailing out | 0:04:52 | 0:04:56 | |
another company? Will that cost the
taxpayer? . Plenty more detail on | 0:04:56 | 0:05:02 | |
that throughout the morning. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:04 | |
There's mounting pressure this
morning on the UKIP leader, | 0:05:04 | 0:05:06 | |
Henry Bolton, to resign. | 0:05:06 | 0:05:07 | |
It's after his girlfriend,
Jo Marney, was suspended | 0:05:07 | 0:05:09 | |
from the party for making racist
remarks about Prince Harry's | 0:05:09 | 0:05:12 | |
fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 0:05:12 | 0:05:13 | |
Our political correspondent,
Iain Watson, joins us from | 0:05:13 | 0:05:15 | |
Westminster. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:15 | |
Iain, is Mr Bolton
likely to stand down? | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
Hopefully we speak to Mr Bolton in
half an hour. Will he be likely to | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
stand down? So far, he has remained
defiant. He says no, he won't go. Of | 0:05:26 | 0:05:32 | |
course, Henry Bolton who was only
elected as leader of UKIP last | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
September, he wanted the party to
refocus on Brexit. Since then, it | 0:05:36 | 0:05:42 | |
has been his personal life all over
the papers. The most recent incident | 0:05:42 | 0:05:45 | |
where those remarks by his
girlfriend Jo Marney suggesting that | 0:05:45 | 0:05:48 | |
Mick and Michael Will Paynter the
Royal family. She has apologised. -- | 0:05:48 | 0:05:56 | |
Meghan Markle will taint. There are
a couple of current MEPs saying he | 0:05:56 | 0:06:09 | |
should consider his position. One
thing for certain, he has come back | 0:06:09 | 0:06:12 | |
a couple of times before but we are
told that Nigel Farage is not up for | 0:06:12 | 0:06:19 | |
another go at leadership this time. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
We'll be speaking to Henry Bolton
in just over half an hour. | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
The government is being urged
to drop its target of reducing net | 0:06:25 | 0:06:29 | |
migration to the "tens
of thousands" a year, | 0:06:29 | 0:06:31 | |
because MPs say it "undermines"
trust in the state's ability | 0:06:31 | 0:06:33 | |
to control immigration. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:34 | |
A report from the home affairs
Committee also warns that a lack | 0:06:34 | 0:06:38 | |
of official data has allowed
anxiety over the number of people | 0:06:38 | 0:06:40 | |
illegally living in the UK
to grow "unchecked". | 0:06:40 | 0:06:43 | |
Our home affairs correspondent,
Danny Shaw, has more. | 0:06:43 | 0:06:51 | |
Britain is preparing to leave the
European Union and when it does, | 0:06:51 | 0:06:55 | |
there will be a new set of laws
about immigration from EU countries. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:59 | |
Some believe it is a chance to
reassess the government target on | 0:06:59 | 0:07:03 | |
net migration, set by David Cameron
eight years ago. Net migration is | 0:07:03 | 0:07:07 | |
the difference between a number of
people coming to live in the UK and | 0:07:07 | 0:07:13 | |
those leaving the country. It is
currently 230,000, more than double | 0:07:13 | 0:07:16 | |
the target in less than 100,000. A
target that has never been met. The | 0:07:16 | 0:07:23 | |
problem with a target if it treats
all immigration the same and we have | 0:07:23 | 0:07:28 | |
seen strong evidence that people
think different kinds of migration | 0:07:28 | 0:07:31 | |
should be treated differently and
you certainly shouldn't have a | 0:07:31 | 0:07:34 | |
student in the target. That is why
we think the whole target should be | 0:07:34 | 0:07:38 | |
replaced by a new framework. In its
report, the home affairs Committee | 0:07:38 | 0:07:44 | |
makes recommendations to resolve
confidence in the immigration system | 0:07:44 | 0:07:46 | |
and it says that the government
should challenge myths. It calls for | 0:07:46 | 0:07:52 | |
a three-year migration plan to build
consensus. It also says an official | 0:07:52 | 0:07:57 | |
estimate of illegal immigration is
needed to reassure people the issue | 0:07:57 | 0:08:00 | |
is being taken seriously. People
want to see migrants contribute | 0:08:00 | 0:08:06 | |
through the work, the skills they
bring. They also want a system that | 0:08:06 | 0:08:11 | |
is competently controlled. The Home
Office says it remains committed to | 0:08:11 | 0:08:21 | |
reducing migration to sustainable
levels. The department says Bates | 0:08:21 | 0:08:24 | |
nature it is not possible to produce
an estimate. -- by its nature. | 0:08:24 | 0:08:31 | |
President Trump has
denied being a racist - | 0:08:31 | 0:08:33 | |
as a row continues over offensive
language he allegedly used | 0:08:33 | 0:08:36 | |
to describe immigrants
from Haiti and Africa. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:38 | |
He is accused of using
the word during a private | 0:08:38 | 0:08:40 | |
meeting on immigration
in the White House. | 0:08:40 | 0:08:42 | |
In his first direct response
to accusations of racism, | 0:08:42 | 0:08:45 | |
Donald Trump told reporters he had
not made the comments. | 0:08:45 | 0:08:51 | |
No. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:51 | |
No, I'm not a racist. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:52 | |
I'm the least racist person
you have ever interviewed, | 0:08:52 | 0:08:55 | |
that I can tell you. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:58 | |
A cross-part group of MP's
are launching an inquiry | 0:09:06 | 0:09:08 | |
into what more can be done to tackle
sexual harrassment in public places, | 0:09:08 | 0:09:12 | |
such as on the street
and in bars and clubs. | 0:09:12 | 0:09:14 | |
Research by YouGov suggests 85%
of women between 18 and 24 years | 0:09:14 | 0:09:21 | |
have experienced unwanted sexual
attention in public. | 0:09:21 | 0:09:23 | |
The Women and Equalities Committee
says it wants to understand why it | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
happens and establish what can be
done to combat the problem. | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
A leading charity is claiming
thousands of parents in England | 0:09:30 | 0:09:34 | |
are struggling to pay nursery fees,
because of problems accessing | 0:09:34 | 0:09:37 | |
a government website. | 0:09:37 | 0:09:40 | |
The Pre-school Learning Alliance
says glitches on the HMRC | 0:09:40 | 0:09:43 | |
site mean some parents are missing
out on their right to 30 hours free | 0:09:43 | 0:09:46 | |
childcare or tax breaks. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:54 | |
But the government says fewer
than 2% of parents who have opened | 0:09:55 | 0:09:58 | |
accounts had encountered problems. | 0:09:58 | 0:10:00 | |
Representatives from North
and South Korea are meeting | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
to discuss details of the North's
participation in next month's Winter | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
Olympics. | 0:10:05 | 0:10:05 | |
Talks are being held
inside the demilitarised zone | 0:10:05 | 0:10:07 | |
between the two countries. | 0:10:07 | 0:10:08 | |
Our correspondent,
Sophie Long, is in Seoul - | 0:10:08 | 0:10:10 | |
has any progress been made? | 0:10:10 | 0:10:18 | |
Louise, these talks this morning
have very narrow focus and that is | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
the artistic troupe that North Korea
says it wants to send to the Winter | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
Olympics which get under way in the
south next month. Details of the | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
size of that delegation, potentially
how they will travel to South Korea | 0:10:34 | 0:10:39 | |
and the exact performance schedule
as well. Last week, we saw | 0:10:39 | 0:10:43 | |
government level talks taking place
at the talks today are also | 0:10:43 | 0:10:47 | |
happening. Today, on the north side
but on the south side last week. The | 0:10:47 | 0:10:53 | |
delegation is different this time.
There is a member of the lead singer | 0:10:53 | 0:10:59 | |
of a North Korean girl band present.
Very different level of talks. We | 0:10:59 | 0:11:05 | |
have also had a separate level of
development. They are talking about | 0:11:05 | 0:11:13 | |
other aspects of their attendance at
the Olympics next month. That will | 0:11:13 | 0:11:16 | |
take place on the 17th of January.
Wednesday and again on Saturday, | 0:11:16 | 0:11:22 | |
talks taking place in the IRC about
the number of athletes and | 0:11:22 | 0:11:29 | |
competitors that will attend.
Today's talks, just one level of | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
many working level talks to take
place in the run-up to the Winter | 0:11:33 | 0:11:41 | |
Olympics in that North Korea will
send a delegation. | 0:11:41 | 0:11:45 | |
If you have a fear of flying
you might want to look away now. | 0:11:45 | 0:11:49 | |
These are the incredible
pictures of the aftermath | 0:11:49 | 0:11:51 | |
of an incident at
an airport in Turkey. | 0:11:51 | 0:11:54 | |
Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7 lost
control, before skidding off | 0:11:54 | 0:11:57 | |
the runway, plunging over a cliff
and coming to rest just before | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
hitting the sea. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:01 | |
Pictures taken from inside
the plane have also | 0:12:01 | 0:12:04 | |
emerged - giving us an insight
into the reaction of passengers | 0:12:04 | 0:12:07 | |
inside the aircraft. | 0:12:07 | 0:12:08 | |
Incredibly, all of the 168
passengers and crew | 0:12:08 | 0:12:10 | |
escaped without injury. | 0:12:10 | 0:12:18 | |
Just... Terrifying. Meters away from
being in the sea. Incredibly, they | 0:12:21 | 0:12:30 | |
all got away. Don't understand why
all how it stopped. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:39 | |
We are also hit to look at the day's
sport. -- why or how. I remember | 0:12:39 | 0:12:51 | |
saying Ryan | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
saying Ryan Giggs was in there. He
hasn't got any manager experience, | 0:12:58 | 0:13:02 | |
he is not interested in playing for
Wales. They say! Here he is now, | 0:13:02 | 0:13:09 | |
about to be unveiled as the Wales
manager. It has had a mixed | 0:13:09 | 0:13:14 | |
response. | 0:13:14 | 0:13:16 | |
There's a press conference
scheduled for this afternoon, | 0:13:16 | 0:13:18 | |
where Ryan Giggs is
expected to be named | 0:13:18 | 0:13:20 | |
as the new manager of Wales. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:22 | |
He succeeds Chris Coleman,
who stood down in November. | 0:13:22 | 0:13:24 | |
It'll be his first full-time
job in management - | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
he took charge of Manchester United
for four games in 2014, | 0:13:27 | 0:13:30 | |
after David Moyes was sacked. | 0:13:30 | 0:13:31 | |
Manchester City have been
beaten for the first time | 0:13:31 | 0:13:34 | |
in the Premier League this season -
they lost 4-3 at Liverpool - | 0:13:34 | 0:13:37 | |
City manager Pep Guardiola said
they'd learned good lessons - | 0:13:37 | 0:13:40 | |
and they're still 15 points clear
at the top of the table. | 0:13:40 | 0:13:43 | |
Britain's Kyle Edmund has claimed
the biggest win of his career, | 0:13:43 | 0:13:46 | |
beating Kevin Anderson in five
sets to reach the second | 0:13:46 | 0:13:49 | |
round of the Australian
Open in Melbourne. | 0:13:49 | 0:13:51 | |
Anderson was the 11th seed,
and reached the final of the US Open | 0:13:51 | 0:13:54 | |
in September. | 0:13:54 | 0:13:55 | |
And there was a major shock
at the UK Masters Snooker - | 0:13:55 | 0:14:01 | |
world number one Mark Selby has been
knocked out in the first round, | 0:14:01 | 0:14:04 | |
losing in a final-frame
decider to Mark Williams. | 0:14:04 | 0:14:06 | |
Selby was also eliminated early
in the UK Championship last month. | 0:14:06 | 0:14:14 | |
You going to hang around? | 0:14:16 | 0:14:22 | |
It's windy where you are, Carol,
isn't it? | 0:14:24 | 0:14:31 | |
It certainly is, good morning,
everyone. It is windy and wet for us | 0:14:31 | 0:14:36 | |
this morning, the wind and the rain
clearing into the North Sea through | 0:14:36 | 0:14:39 | |
the course of the day followed by
some blustery showers. The showers | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
across the north of the country will
be wintry in nature, but at this | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
stage mostly high ground. As we
start the forecast at 9am, in | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
Scotland we have some snow showers,
as I mentioned, mostly at high | 0:14:51 | 0:14:55 | |
ground that this stage. Later in the
day we will see them at higher | 0:14:55 | 0:14:59 | |
levels, and some dry and bright
conditions. Living in the northern | 0:14:59 | 0:15:03 | |
England, a plethora of showers, some
of them merging so we will see some | 0:15:03 | 0:15:07 | |
heavy ones at times. That continue
southwards through the Midlands, | 0:15:07 | 0:15:11 | |
East Anglia, and the south-east
quarter generally. This is where we | 0:15:11 | 0:15:14 | |
have the rain and the stronger
winds, continuing to push into the | 0:15:14 | 0:15:18 | |
south-east. In towards the
south-west, a wet start for you as | 0:15:18 | 0:15:23 | |
well, as it is across Wales. Not
that he could be cold this morning, | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
though, still quite blustery. -- not
particularly cold. As we head into | 0:15:27 | 0:15:32 | |
Northern Ireland, some dry weather
for you this morning, but there | 0:15:32 | 0:15:35 | |
still are some showers. That is
going to change. As we head through | 0:15:35 | 0:15:39 | |
the course of the day, what you will
find is increasingly the snow | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
showers will come down to lower
levels across Scotland, and later on | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
in the day into Northern Ireland.
The rain pushes away from the | 0:15:48 | 0:15:52 | |
south-east, with its strongest
winds, but high but there will be a | 0:15:52 | 0:15:56 | |
lot of blustery showers around.
Already we are in the colder in the | 0:15:56 | 0:16:00 | |
north of the country, hence the snow
getting into lower levels, but in | 0:16:00 | 0:16:04 | |
the south we are hanging on by the
skin of our teeth. Through the day | 0:16:04 | 0:16:08 | |
you will find that as the cold air
penetrates further south the | 0:16:08 | 0:16:11 | |
temperature will tend to drop. As we
head through the evening and | 0:16:11 | 0:16:14 | |
overnight, the snow levels
increasingly getting down to lower | 0:16:14 | 0:16:17 | |
levels across Scotland, Northern
Ireland and northern England. You | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
could cease no further south across
the south Wales and south-west | 0:16:20 | 0:16:24 | |
England, but that will generally be
with height. So tonight there is the | 0:16:24 | 0:16:28 | |
risk of ice on untreated surfaces as
well. Cold in the north, not as cold | 0:16:28 | 0:16:32 | |
as we come further south. Tomorrow
morning we will start to see the | 0:16:32 | 0:16:37 | |
snow accumulate, especially across
Scotland and Northern Ireland, but | 0:16:37 | 0:16:40 | |
also to a lesser extent across
northern England. Still, any snow we | 0:16:40 | 0:16:44 | |
see in the south will tend to be on
higher ground. But there will be a | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
lot of showers around, and some of
those will have hail and thunder | 0:16:49 | 0:16:52 | |
embedded in them. And we are looking
at strong winds and gales in the | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
south-west. Still blustery day, a
lot of dry weather on Wednesday, but | 0:16:56 | 0:17:00 | |
you can see what is coming in the
west, initially in the shape of | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
rain. This is because of an area of
low pressure coming our way and at | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
the moment it looks like on its
northern flank we could see some | 0:17:07 | 0:17:11 | |
disruptive snow and on its western
and southern flank we could see some | 0:17:11 | 0:17:15 | |
disruptive wind. If you are
travelling, that is something | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
certainly to keep in touch with the
weather forecast for. So loads going | 0:17:18 | 0:17:21 | |
on as we enter this new working
week. There really is, take | 0:17:21 | 0:17:26 | |
on as we enter this new working
week. There really is, take care. We | 0:17:26 | 0:17:26 | |
will see you later. Let's have a
look at some of the papers, and | 0:17:26 | 0:17:31 | |
start with the Daily Mail, has we | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
look at some of the papers, and
start with the Daily Mail, has we | 0:17:35 | 0:17:35 | |
will be speaking | 0:17:35 | 0:17:36 | |
start with the Daily Mail, has we
will be speaking to the UKIP leader, | 0:17:36 | 0:17:37 | |
Mr Henry Bolton, at 6:40am this
morning. He is on the front page of | 0:17:37 | 0:17:42 | |
the papers with his girlfriend, and
many people saying in the party he | 0:17:42 | 0:17:46 | |
needs to choose between being party
leader and his girlfriend, so we | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
will put that question to him later
on. The main story, Facebook | 0:17:50 | 0:17:57 | |
peddling drugs to children on social
media. The Telegraph leads with | 0:17:57 | 0:18:01 | |
patients' data, the data of cancer
victims given to affirm representing | 0:18:01 | 0:18:11 | |
one of the world's biggest tobacco
companies. I was just going to | 0:18:11 | 0:18:16 | |
mention... This can be your
addition, job! I will never get your | 0:18:16 | 0:18:22 | |
job, you are very, very good at it.
And on the front page, they are | 0:18:22 | 0:18:29 | |
talking about Carillion, and I am
sure Steph will give you details in | 0:18:29 | 0:18:35 | |
a moment. The front page of the
Times, I mentioned the flight in | 0:18:35 | 0:18:41 | |
Turkey slipping down into the water.
This is the picture on the front | 0:18:41 | 0:18:45 | |
page of the Times this morning.
Thankfully all 162 passengers | 0:18:45 | 0:18:49 | |
escaped the plane fire. There was
water on the runway, it slipped and | 0:18:49 | 0:18:53 | |
careered down here and somehow
stopped, and everybody got off | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
safely. There is footage from on the
plane as well. Ministers dismissed | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
warnings on failing firm, again
talking about Carillion on the front | 0:19:01 | 0:19:06 | |
of the Times. Are you auditioning
for her job now? And on the front | 0:19:06 | 0:19:12 | |
page of the papers, a picture of
Ant, he is getting divorced. I | 0:19:12 | 0:19:22 | |
couldn't see it, I was just having a
look to see what you are showing, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
thank you! What have you got there?
Well, we are talking about | 0:19:26 | 0:19:32 | |
Carillion, such a big deal, such a
huge company. 20,000 people working | 0:19:32 | 0:19:37 | |
for them. But the biggest thing is,
if you think of that one company, | 0:19:37 | 0:19:41 | |
there are so many supplier companies
who are owed money, for example, and | 0:19:41 | 0:19:44 | |
that is what the Telegraph is
talking about this morning. They are | 0:19:44 | 0:19:48 | |
saying that given things remain in
doubt at the moment, in terms of | 0:19:48 | 0:19:52 | |
what will happen for the future of
Carillion, obviously it is really | 0:19:52 | 0:19:55 | |
important to point out when
companies are struggling with money, | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
it doesn't mean everything suddenly
stops. So even if Carillion goes | 0:19:58 | 0:20:03 | |
into administration, there is
already a company in the wings, an | 0:20:03 | 0:20:07 | |
accountancy firm who are ready to
take over and carry on running that | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
this is. But it puts into doubt lots
of different things about the supply | 0:20:11 | 0:20:15 | |
companies, what will happen with
their contracts, with their | 0:20:15 | 0:20:17 | |
payments, with all the people who
work for them. That is the issue. | 0:20:17 | 0:20:21 | |
Tell me about the fun of the
Financial Times. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:23 | |
this is incredibly dangerous, but
Lloyd's of London, you know they | 0:20:23 | 0:20:27 | |
have the amazing Richard Rogers
building, apparently it is really | 0:20:27 | 0:20:31 | |
easy to climb. Has pipes on the
outside, hasn't it? They have had 20 | 0:20:31 | 0:20:37 | |
people last year who managed to
climb to the top and get a photo | 0:20:37 | 0:20:41 | |
like this. And at the end of that
crane, I would say an idiot, getting | 0:20:41 | 0:20:47 | |
a picture. They spent more than
£80,000 on enhanced security to try | 0:20:47 | 0:20:51 | |
and stop people climbing to the top.
Just a couple of bits from me on the | 0:20:51 | 0:20:55 | |
sports pages. This is the start of
the Australian Open in Melbourne, so | 0:20:55 | 0:20:59 | |
a reminder for people who want to
watch the live sport that it is | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
happening down under. Roger Federer
saying he really shouldn't be | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
favourite at the age of 36, but
unfortunately, if you are Roger | 0:21:06 | 0:21:10 | |
Federer, you probably will be
favourite for every tournament you | 0:21:10 | 0:21:14 | |
enter until you retire. And some
good news in terms of European golf | 0:21:14 | 0:21:18 | |
in a Ryder Cup year. They have
lifted the Eurasia cup, which is | 0:21:18 | 0:21:23 | |
Europe against Asia, which as this
writer in the Daily Mail points out, | 0:21:23 | 0:21:28 | |
he says it is a bit like holding
aloft the charity shield in a season | 0:21:28 | 0:21:32 | |
when you are hoping to lift the
Champions League trophy. At some | 0:21:32 | 0:21:36 | |
good markers have been laid down for
European golf, in what will be a | 0:21:36 | 0:21:40 | |
huge year for the team ahead of the
Ryder Cup. So that is a lot to look | 0:21:40 | 0:21:45 | |
forward to. Shall we have a little
bit of good news? Yes. This dog | 0:21:45 | 0:21:50 | |
called Morse went missing, and he
got stolen, he just nipped out... He | 0:21:50 | 0:21:57 | |
may not have been stolen. He wasn't
stolen, was the whole point, he just | 0:21:57 | 0:22:05 | |
ran off. They said two people put
him on the back of a van, but maybe | 0:22:05 | 0:22:09 | |
they got it wrong. Anyway, he is
back. That is the point of the | 0:22:09 | 0:22:13 | |
story. After several weeks, £10,000
reward, he is actually back with his | 0:22:13 | 0:22:18 | |
owner. Morse is a good name for a
dog. That is what I was going to | 0:22:18 | 0:22:25 | |
say. We will do papers later on, I
will show you the UK's oldest ballet | 0:22:25 | 0:22:30 | |
dancer, and I will tell you a little
secret about the next series of the | 0:22:30 | 0:22:35 | |
Crown. | 0:22:35 | 0:22:36 | |
Since August of last year,
more than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims | 0:22:36 | 0:22:39 | |
have been forced to flee violence
and persecution in Myanmar. | 0:22:39 | 0:22:42 | |
The United Nations has described
the military offensive that provoked | 0:22:42 | 0:22:44 | |
the exodus as a textbook example
of ethnic cleansing. | 0:22:44 | 0:22:47 | |
Many have sought refuge
in neighbouring Bangladesh, | 0:22:47 | 0:22:49 | |
in what has become the world's
largest refugee camp. | 0:22:49 | 0:22:51 | |
Our South Asia correspondent,
Justin Rowlatt, is there | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
for us this morning. | 0:22:53 | 0:22:54 | |
What are conditions like? | 0:22:54 | 0:23:02 | |
Give us a look around, what is
happening there this morning? Yes, | 0:23:05 | 0:23:11 | |
as you say, it is absolutely huge.
There are 800,000 refugees in total, | 0:23:11 | 0:23:17 | |
650,000 just in this refugee camp.
Take a look at this, you can see, | 0:23:17 | 0:23:21 | |
very densely populated. The biggest
refugee camp and also one of the | 0:23:21 | 0:23:26 | |
most densely populated, and these
shacks which were made when refugees | 0:23:26 | 0:23:30 | |
first arrived, with simple bamboo,
and covered in tarpaulins. There is | 0:23:30 | 0:23:33 | |
effectively an open sewer running in
the middle here, which is why | 0:23:33 | 0:23:38 | |
diseases such an issue. At the
moment they are battling an outbreak | 0:23:38 | 0:23:43 | |
of potentially fatal diphtheria.
Yesterday, or a couple of days ago, | 0:23:43 | 0:23:46 | |
I should say, I went out with a team
whose job it is to train track down | 0:23:46 | 0:23:51 | |
people who might have been infected,
and stop the disease spreading. | 0:23:51 | 0:23:57 | |
This boy is category red. He has a
serious diphtheria infection. This | 0:23:57 | 0:24:03 | |
bacterial disease blocks the
airways, and is often fatal if it | 0:24:03 | 0:24:06 | |
isn't treated. It is also highly
contagious. It is this Doctor's job | 0:24:06 | 0:24:12 | |
to try and stop the outbreak
spreading. He runs a team of | 0:24:12 | 0:24:18 | |
outreach workers when a diphtheria
case comes in. They work begins. | 0:24:18 | 0:24:22 | |
They trek through this giant refugee
camp, now the biggest in the world, | 0:24:22 | 0:24:29 | |
trying to find people who might have
been exposed to the disease. The | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
outreach workers can see up to ten
cases every day, which can mean a | 0:24:33 | 0:24:38 | |
lot of walking. So the challenge for
this team is to hunt down infection | 0:24:38 | 0:24:45 | |
and then stamp it out. The hunt
begins at the boy's home. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:56 | |
begins at the boy's home. Rita and
Repa need to take care. Close | 0:25:02 | 0:25:04 | |
contact can be dangerous even if you
have had the vaccination. Some | 0:25:04 | 0:25:08 | |
members of the medical team have
been infected. | 0:25:08 | 0:25:19 | |
been infected. They explain how
dangerous diphtheria can be, and | 0:25:19 | 0:25:22 | |
give everyone in the family
antibiotics. That. The disease | 0:25:22 | 0:25:27 | |
developing. Anyone who has been in
close contact with a patient for | 0:25:27 | 0:25:31 | |
more than an hour needs to be
treated. -- that will prevent the | 0:25:31 | 0:25:38 | |
disease developing. How dangerous is
it out here? It is not as dangerous | 0:25:38 | 0:25:42 | |
for us, but it is dangerous for the
Rohingya community if they were not | 0:25:42 | 0:25:46 | |
vaccinated when they arrived. So
what is happening now? Are you | 0:25:46 | 0:25:50 | |
getting this disease under control?
We hope we can control it through | 0:25:50 | 0:25:53 | |
vaccination, with preventative
medicine, as well as treating the | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
cases. The signs are that this
disease, long forgotten in countries | 0:25:57 | 0:26:00 | |
where vaccinations are commonplace,
is now being brought under control. | 0:26:00 | 0:26:06 | |
At the hunt continues. With more
than 800,000 people packed together | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
in these vast refugee camps, the
team can't take any chances. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:18 | |
Now, what you will be wondering is
how the kid you saw in that report | 0:26:18 | 0:26:24 | |
is, and I am very glad to be able to
say he is recovering very well. But | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
disease is just one of the issues
they face here in the camps. I am | 0:26:28 | 0:26:33 | |
joined by Andrew Gardner of the Red
Cross. What other challenges are | 0:26:33 | 0:26:36 | |
there, dealing with effectively a
large city which has grown up here | 0:26:36 | 0:26:41 | |
in this area? Direct, without the
right infrastructure and services, | 0:26:41 | 0:26:45 | |
disease is a risk in the camp, given
the density of the population, but | 0:26:45 | 0:26:49 | |
also given how these camps are
spontaneous, and people just have to | 0:26:49 | 0:26:53 | |
use the available space. As you can
see, most of the shelters you can | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
see are actually built under the
sides of hills. In the coming | 0:26:57 | 0:27:01 | |
months, the rainy season will
happen, and at that time, as well is | 0:27:01 | 0:27:04 | |
potential for flooding, there is
also potential for landslides. So | 0:27:04 | 0:27:07 | |
making sure the infrastructure is
right to protect people. But also we | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
should as an international community
not forget that the events here have | 0:27:12 | 0:27:16 | |
also affected the local population
here. Prior to the population | 0:27:16 | 0:27:19 | |
movement there was about 300,000
people, and now there might be | 0:27:19 | 0:27:25 | |
between 800,000 900,000 refugees,
which number three to one on local | 0:27:25 | 0:27:28 | |
population. They already are poor
and have stretched services, and | 0:27:28 | 0:27:32 | |
they are facing the situation as
well. Thank you very much indeed. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:37 | |
Huge challenges here, and we will be
continuing to report from this | 0:27:37 | 0:27:41 | |
refugee camp throughout the morning.
Thank you very much for being with | 0:27:41 | 0:27:44 | |
us this morning. | 0:27:44 | 0:27:50 | |
In a moment we will get the news,
travel and weather where you are, | 0:27:50 | 0:27:54 | |
but you have an update. You remember
we had some cricketers Torquay about | 0:27:54 | 0:27:59 | |
the pod casts, and since then they
have won Best broadcast in the | 0:27:59 | 0:28:03 | |
country, and test new show, and
Freddie Flintoff has been named best | 0:28:03 | 0:28:07 | |
presenter. Is the best news
presenter? No, just best presenter. | 0:28:07 | 0:28:13 | |
I am wondering how the others like
that. And also, 500 Words, radio | 0:28:13 | 0:28:21 | |
two, and the launch of that. And we
will be talking about the launch of | 0:28:21 | 0:28:28 | |
that. | 0:28:28 | 0:28:29 | |
Time now to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 0:28:29 | 0:31:47 | |
the edge of the temperatures. A lot
of sunshine in the middle part of | 0:31:47 | 0:31:50 | |
the week. Watch for some wet and
windy weather on Thursday morning. | 0:31:50 | 0:31:54 | |

we'll be getting tips | 0:32:41 | 0:32:43 | |
from the experts on how to write
sensational short stories. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:46 | |
Good morning. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:46 | |
Here's a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News. | 0:32:46 | 0:32:54 | |
Crucial talks are due to take place
this morning between creditors and | 0:32:57 | 0:33:01 | |
government officials in an attempt
to save one of Britain's biggest | 0:33:01 | 0:33:05 | |
construction firms. Carillion which
directly employs 20,000 staff in the | 0:33:05 | 0:33:10 | |
UK and has major roads, and Public
billion -- public projects, is 900 | 0:33:10 | 0:33:19 | |
million dollars in debt. | 0:33:19 | 0:33:23 | |
The leader of UKIP is growing a face
-- is facing a growing number of | 0:33:23 | 0:33:28 | |
calls after his girlfriend Jo Marney
made racist remarks about Prince | 0:33:28 | 0:33:32 | |
Harry's Beyonce Meghan Markle.
Members of his own party are among | 0:33:32 | 0:33:37 | |
those who have called for his
resignation. -- fiance. | 0:33:37 | 0:33:49 | |
The government has been urged to
read juice net migration. -- | 0:33:49 | 0:33:57 | |
reduced. A report from the home
affairs Committee also warns that | 0:33:57 | 0:34:01 | |
anxiety over the number of people
living in the UK illegally has been | 0:34:01 | 0:34:04 | |
allowed to grow unchecked because of
a lack of official data. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:08 | |
President Trump has
denied being a racist - | 0:34:08 | 0:34:10 | |
as a row continues over offensive
language he allegedly used | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
to describe immigrants
from Haiti and Africa. | 0:34:13 | 0:34:15 | |
He is accused of using
the word during a private | 0:34:15 | 0:34:17 | |
meeting on immigration
in the White House. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
In his first direct response
to accusations of racism, | 0:34:19 | 0:34:22 | |
Donald Trump told reporters he had
not made the comments. | 0:34:22 | 0:34:30 | |
Police in East Yorkshire believe
they have found the body of a man | 0:34:49 | 0:34:53 | |
believed to have used a crossbow to
kill his neighbour. But began to | 0:34:53 | 0:34:57 | |
search for the 56-year-old after the
death of Shane Gilmour on Friday. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:03 | |
His girlfriend Laura Sugden was also
seriously wounded in that attack. | 0:35:03 | 0:35:07 | |
A senior coroner will today deliver
his conclusions into the second | 0:35:07 | 0:35:12 | |
inquest of the Toffler Poppi
Worthington. She was found with | 0:35:12 | 0:35:17 | |
serious injuries at her home in
Cumbria in 2012. The controversial | 0:35:17 | 0:35:21 | |
first inquest was quashed by the
High Court after it lasted just | 0:35:21 | 0:35:25 | |
seven minutes and was shrouded in
secrecy. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:31 | |
Henry Ford famously quipped
that his Model T car was available | 0:35:31 | 0:35:34 | |
in "any colour you like,
as long as it's black". | 0:35:34 | 0:35:37 | |
More than a century later,
it's still the most popular | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
colour for cars. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:40 | |
According to the Society
of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, | 0:35:40 | 0:35:43 | |
more than half a million black
cars were sold in 2017. | 0:35:43 | 0:35:45 | |
But the fastest growing
colour last year was gold. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:53 | |
I can't believe it. I have a black
car and a navy blue car. Johnny two | 0:35:53 | 0:36:04 | |
cars over there. | 0:36:04 | 0:36:09 | |
cars over there. I have read car.
It's a little. Gold was very trendy. | 0:36:09 | 0:36:17 | |
The last few years. It has had a bit
of their resurgent. --A bit of a | 0:36:17 | 0:36:29 | |
resurgence. | 0:36:29 | 0:36:34 | |
resurgence. Gold is fast approaching
the top of the league. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:48 | |
Ryan Giggs is set to be named
as the manager of the Wales national | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
team today, succeeding
Chris Coleman. | 0:36:52 | 0:36:59 | |
Giggs' only managerial experience
so far was four games | 0:36:59 | 0:37:02 | |
in charge of Manchester United
when David Moyes was sacked in 2014. | 0:37:02 | 0:37:05 | |
Coleman stepped down in November,
after Wales failed to qualify | 0:37:05 | 0:37:08 | |
for this year's World Cup. | 0:37:08 | 0:37:16 | |
After 30 games and 281 days,
Manchester City's unbeaten | 0:37:26 | 0:37:28 | |
Premier League run
is finally over. | 0:37:28 | 0:37:36 | |
They lost 4-3 to Liverpool,
in an incredible match at Anfield. | 0:37:37 | 0:37:44 | |
Liverpool scored three
goals in eight minutes, | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
to go 4-1 up in the second half. | 0:37:50 | 0:37:52 | |
City did fight back,
but they couldn't find an equaliser | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
- they are still 15 points clear
at the top of the table | 0:37:55 | 0:38:01 | |
but Liverpool are celebrating
a famous victory. | 0:38:01 | 0:38:06 | |
Is possible that yesterday was a
historical game. We will talk about | 0:38:06 | 0:38:12 | |
it in 20 years when we watch back
and think about they lost one game, | 0:38:12 | 0:38:19 | |
Man City. A big respect for their
performance of course. | 0:38:19 | 0:38:29 | |
Liverpool are demanding a lot. They
punish you. | 0:38:29 | 0:38:37 | |
punish you. With Mohammed | 0:38:37 | 0:38:46 | |
. Hopefully we can learn from it. | 0:38:47 | 0:38:48 | |
And for the first time ever
Bournemouth beat Arsenal, | 0:38:48 | 0:38:51 | |
coming from behind at infront
of their home crowd to win 2-1 | 0:38:51 | 0:38:54 | |
thanks to Jordan Ibe. | 0:38:54 | 0:38:55 | |
His first goal for the club
and what a time to score it. | 0:38:55 | 0:38:59 | |
Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed
the biggest win of his career, | 0:38:59 | 0:39:02 | |
beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson
in the first round of the Australian | 0:39:02 | 0:39:06 | |
Open. | 0:39:06 | 0:39:07 | |
He twice came from a set down
and was trailing 2-0 | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
in the deciding set before he took
the match and reached the second | 0:39:10 | 0:39:14 | |
round in Melbourne for
only the second time. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:16 | |
He'll face Denis Istomin next. | 0:39:16 | 0:39:24 | |
A couple of surprises in the women's
draw. Venus Williams and Sloane | 0:39:24 | 0:39:29 | |
Stephens have both been knocked out
in the opening round of the | 0:39:29 | 0:39:33 | |
Australian Open. It just got started
this morning. | 0:39:33 | 0:39:35 | |
Billy Vunipola is set to miss
England's Six Nations campaign | 0:39:35 | 0:39:38 | |
after fracturing his forearm
during Saracens draw with Ospreys | 0:39:38 | 0:39:40 | |
in the European Champions
Cup over the weekend. | 0:39:40 | 0:39:42 | |
Vunipola was forced off
at half-time in the match. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:45 | |
He'd only recently returned
to action after undergoing a knee | 0:39:45 | 0:39:48 | |
operation last summer. | 0:39:48 | 0:39:48 | |
The 25-year-old is set to see
a specialist this week - | 0:39:48 | 0:39:51 | |
the initial impressions
are that he could be out | 0:39:51 | 0:39:54 | |
for ten weeks. | 0:39:54 | 0:39:55 | |
England start their campaign
against Italy in Rome | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
on the third of February. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:02 | |
There was a shock on the opening day
of the UK Masters snooker event | 0:40:02 | 0:40:06 | |
at Alexandra Palace. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:06 | |
World champion Mark Selby
is out after losing | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
6-5 against former world
number one, Mark Williams. | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
Selby was also eliminated early
in the UK Championship last month. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:14 | |
Now, how about this
for marital teamwork? | 0:40:14 | 0:40:16 | |
England's Chris Paisley has
claimed his first European Tour | 0:40:16 | 0:40:18 | |
title, winning the South Africa
Open, where his wife | 0:40:18 | 0:40:21 | |
was his caddie.. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:21 | |
Paisley held off the challenge
of home favourite Branden Grace | 0:40:21 | 0:40:24 | |
with a round 66 to win
the title by three strokes. | 0:40:24 | 0:40:27 | |
A Big hug from his wife
Keri, who was making | 0:40:27 | 0:40:30 | |
her debut as caddie
after the Englishman's regular | 0:40:30 | 0:40:32 | |
bagman was on holiday. | 0:40:32 | 0:40:33 | |
I think you need a certain type of
marriage to survive that pressure | 0:40:33 | 0:40:37 | |
together. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:42 | |
together. She doesn't know much
about golf but she knows me better | 0:40:42 | 0:40:45 | |
than anyone. At times when she knew
I was getting a bit uptight, she | 0:40:45 | 0:40:50 | |
would come me down. She was just a
massive this week and I can't say | 0:40:50 | 0:40:57 | |
enough about it. | 0:40:57 | 0:40:59 | |
It helps if you have played well.
There is a lot of pressure. There is | 0:40:59 | 0:41:08 | |
a mistaken someone you know very
well that you can blame. He is one | 0:41:08 | 0:41:15 | |
of the nicest of blokes on the tour. | 0:41:15 | 0:41:22 | |
Today is the so-called blue Monday.
I feel all right, actually. | 0:41:22 | 0:41:32 | |
I feel all right, actually. The
Christmas spending hangover can ramp | 0:41:32 | 0:41:33 | |
up. Steph, you feeling blue? This is
when all the credit card bills land. | 0:41:33 | 0:41:46 | |
They might not feel particularly
great. | 0:41:46 | 0:41:57 | |
great. Nothing new, talking about
debt. Paintings on credit. -- | 0:41:57 | 0:42:05 | |
buying. Other people, just keeping
their heads above water. The BBC | 0:42:05 | 0:42:14 | |
colleagues have been looking at this
and a special edition of Insider. | 0:42:14 | 0:42:19 | |
They spoke to a lot of people from
all over the UK who stepped became | 0:42:19 | 0:42:24 | |
too much. | 0:42:24 | 0:42:28 | |
For me, personally, it's a
generational thing. Now I'm | 0:42:28 | 0:42:31 | |
struggling to pay the bills and even
getting onto the property, can't | 0:42:31 | 0:42:36 | |
even find a home. Paint the best
deals and managing the debts, it | 0:42:36 | 0:42:44 | |
seems impractical, impossible. Even
though sometimes unsmiling on the | 0:42:44 | 0:42:50 | |
outside, I'm not smiling on the
inside but don't show it. To them. | 0:42:50 | 0:42:57 | |
It's like, sometimes when I am down,
yeah, I'm fine, darling, don't worry | 0:42:57 | 0:43:02 | |
about money. You know? Some of my
family have noticed how this is | 0:43:02 | 0:43:10 | |
getting me very down and I don't
sleep a lot because it's just going | 0:43:10 | 0:43:17 | |
round and round in my mind all the
time. Bankruptcy at the moment seems | 0:43:17 | 0:43:26 | |
the best option. It was probably the
worst time in my life. I hit the | 0:43:26 | 0:43:33 | |
most almighty low that anybody could
hit. I'm thankful that happened now. | 0:43:33 | 0:43:37 | |
Lost everything, my home, my job.
Everything fell apart but I am so | 0:43:37 | 0:43:46 | |
pleased it did because I don't think
I would be here sat talking to you | 0:43:46 | 0:43:51 | |
if it hadn't. It got that bad. I was
in such a mess that I almost ended | 0:43:51 | 0:43:55 | |
my life. | 0:43:55 | 0:44:00 | |
Joining me now is Jazmine Birtles.
They have been working on the Inside | 0:44:00 | 0:44:08 | |
team. | 0:44:08 | 0:44:13 | |
team. People might think they have
got themselves in a mess but lots of | 0:44:13 | 0:44:17 | |
people, it might not necessarily be
their fault. Something might have | 0:44:17 | 0:44:20 | |
happened out of their control. It's
an extremely common thing. As a | 0:44:20 | 0:44:25 | |
nation, we are 1.5 trillion in debt.
The majority of that is mortgages | 0:44:25 | 0:44:30 | |
that we are over 200 billion in
loans, credit cards, that kind of | 0:44:30 | 0:44:36 | |
thing. It is really common. As you
say, with a lot of people, it | 0:44:36 | 0:44:40 | |
suddenly comes over them. Quite
often, they don't really know how to | 0:44:40 | 0:44:45 | |
budget. Nobody has taught us, let's
be honest. Then something happens. | 0:44:45 | 0:44:50 | |
Quite often, if they are on
benefits, there have been problems | 0:44:50 | 0:44:54 | |
with universal credit. They haven't
had the money and time. Once you are | 0:44:54 | 0:44:58 | |
not able to pay a bill in time, it
increases. There is interest, | 0:44:58 | 0:45:04 | |
charges, and then suddenly, you find
yourself horribly in debt and you | 0:45:04 | 0:45:07 | |
don't know what to do about it. At
that point, what should you do? I | 0:45:07 | 0:45:12 | |
say to people going get help
immediately. Even if you think it is | 0:45:12 | 0:45:16 | |
nothing, whatever, there are three
debt advice charities, really good | 0:45:16 | 0:45:22 | |
ones, like a step change, citizens
advice. National Debt Line, | 0:45:22 | 0:45:30 | |
Christians Against that make poverty
-- Against Poverty. | 0:45:30 | 0:45:45 | |
I had an experience lately where the
payment was cancelled and it was | 0:45:45 | 0:45:48 | |
handed over to the debt selection
team, and when it came to sort it | 0:45:48 | 0:45:52 | |
out, they said can you afford this?
You are not stopping paying a | 0:45:52 | 0:45:56 | |
utility bill to pay this, are you?
So people are thinking quite | 0:45:56 | 0:46:00 | |
differently about how are you
prioritise your debt now, as well. | 0:46:00 | 0:46:06 | |
Absolutely, and it is good they are
doing that, because people have been | 0:46:06 | 0:46:10 | |
literally not eating in order to pay
bills, and quite often they are | 0:46:10 | 0:46:14 | |
bills that they don't have to pay.
And this is another thing you can | 0:46:14 | 0:46:17 | |
get help with from these charities.
There are some bills you really need | 0:46:17 | 0:46:21 | |
to pay to keep a roof over your
head, for example council tax. | 0:46:21 | 0:46:24 | |
People don't realise that is pretty
important to pay. But the credit | 0:46:24 | 0:46:28 | |
card companies, although they will
send you nasty letters and they seem | 0:46:28 | 0:46:32 | |
scary, those ones you can actually
put to the side and pay a small | 0:46:32 | 0:46:36 | |
amount, just as long as you pay your
gas and electricity. Those are the | 0:46:36 | 0:46:40 | |
more important ones. What they do
all catch up with you eventually, | 0:46:40 | 0:46:45 | |
don't they? Exactly, so do catch up
with them. Even if you get a friend | 0:46:45 | 0:46:49 | |
around to help you go through your
statements, have a look at your | 0:46:49 | 0:46:53 | |
bills, get an idea of where you
actually are, and then they can sit | 0:46:53 | 0:46:57 | |
with you while you phone up various
creditors and say I am having a | 0:46:57 | 0:47:01 | |
problem. Because it is really
surprising, when you phone your | 0:47:01 | 0:47:04 | |
creditors, quite often they are
nice. Like you say, you phone your | 0:47:04 | 0:47:09 | |
insurance company and they are like,
fine, we know what it is like. They | 0:47:09 | 0:47:13 | |
are not always going to be like
that, but often they are. And we | 0:47:13 | 0:47:22 | |
will be looking at the issue of debt
tonight at 7:30 p.m.. And we will be | 0:47:22 | 0:47:29 | |
live at 8pm to answer your
questions, details of organisations | 0:47:29 | 0:47:32 | |
offering that kind of support. To
have a look on their if you want to | 0:47:32 | 0:47:41 | |
find out more. | 0:47:41 | 0:47:45 | |
Here is Carol with a look
at this morning's weather, | 0:47:45 | 0:47:48 | |
and she is outside BBC
Broadcasting House in Central | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
London. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:50 | |
It is a bit blustery in places, and
Carol has lots to tell us. | 0:47:50 | 0:47:56 | |
It is a bit blustery in places, and
Carol has lots to tell us. Good | 0:47:56 | 0:47:59 | |
morning all. That's right, and if
you're wondering why I'm here, I | 0:47:59 | 0:48:03 | |
will tell you as we go through the
morning. Something very special has | 0:48:03 | 0:48:07 | |
just arrived in this piazza. Daniel
was right when he said it was wet | 0:48:07 | 0:48:16 | |
and windy. Follow behind with a bit
of blustery showers. Wet and windy | 0:48:16 | 0:48:20 | |
weather in the south-east will
clear, but it will be replaced by | 0:48:20 | 0:48:24 | |
blustery showers. If you are heading
out ring a sturdy umbrella with you. | 0:48:24 | 0:48:28 | |
9am this morning shows you what is
happening in Scotland. Again, a | 0:48:28 | 0:48:31 | |
plethora of showers. Some of those
wintry on the hills, interspersed | 0:48:31 | 0:48:35 | |
with some brighter skies. Cold air
is already in Scotland, and that | 0:48:35 | 0:48:40 | |
will fill south as we go through the
course of the day. For many of us | 0:48:40 | 0:48:44 | |
the highest Bridge will be this
morning. It will actually drop as we | 0:48:44 | 0:48:47 | |
head into the afternoon. Moving
across England there are a lot of | 0:48:47 | 0:48:51 | |
showers, some of them merging, some
of them blustery as well. The | 0:48:51 | 0:48:55 | |
strongest winds are across the
south-eastern quarter. Here we have | 0:48:55 | 0:48:57 | |
the heaviest rain. That will
continue to drift off into southern | 0:48:57 | 0:49:00 | |
parts of the North Sea and the near
continent as we go through the | 0:49:00 | 0:49:04 | |
morning. For the south-west it is a
wet start for you. Not cold, though. | 0:49:04 | 0:49:09 | |
In Plymouth 11, they are already 11
in St Marys. 10 Celsius in Cardiff, | 0:49:09 | 0:49:14 | |
where it is pretty wet to start the
day. For Northern Ireland the rain | 0:49:14 | 0:49:18 | |
has already cleared and you are in a
mixture of bright spells and | 0:49:18 | 0:49:22 | |
showers. As we go through the day
and the temperature drops, | 0:49:22 | 0:49:26 | |
increasingly across Scotland you
will see some of the snow falling at | 0:49:26 | 0:49:29 | |
lower levels. Later in the day we
will see that happen across Northern | 0:49:29 | 0:49:32 | |
Ireland. Tonight it will be northern
England's turn. But through the day, | 0:49:32 | 0:49:36 | |
for much of England and Wales, it
will be rain showers you have, and | 0:49:36 | 0:49:40 | |
blustery. Cooler in the north, not
as cold as we come further south. | 0:49:40 | 0:49:45 | |
Through the evening and overnight,
the snow will continue to fall | 0:49:45 | 0:49:48 | |
across Scotland and Northern Ireland
at lower levels, and also | 0:49:48 | 0:49:51 | |
increasingly northern England at
lower levels. We will see some snow | 0:49:51 | 0:49:55 | |
showers as well across South Wales,
and also the Moors in the | 0:49:55 | 0:49:59 | |
south-west, but most of those will
be in the hills. And we are looking | 0:49:59 | 0:50:02 | |
at rain showers elsewhere, some with
a little bit of hail mixed in. A | 0:50:02 | 0:50:06 | |
cold night in the north with the
risk of ice on untreated surfaces. | 0:50:06 | 0:50:10 | |
Not as cold as we come further
south. The Tuesday morning, again we | 0:50:10 | 0:50:14 | |
will have this in the northern half
of the country, and through the day | 0:50:14 | 0:50:18 | |
it will continue to fall. So we will
start to see some accumulations. The | 0:50:18 | 0:50:22 | |
most will be across Scotland and
Northern Ireland, though we could | 0:50:22 | 0:50:25 | |
have zero to three centimetres in
the north of England. In the south, | 0:50:25 | 0:50:29 | |
a lot of showers around, some of
those wintry in nature. Most will be | 0:50:29 | 0:50:33 | |
of rain, and we will have some hail
and thunder thrown in as well. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:38 | |
Wednesday a quieter day, at rain
coming in from the west. That is an | 0:50:38 | 0:50:42 | |
area of low pressure coming our way.
Keep tuned to this, because it could | 0:50:42 | 0:50:46 | |
be disruptive. It is likely to have
some snow on it northern flank and | 0:50:46 | 0:50:50 | |
on its western and southern flank we
could well have some disruptive | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
winds. So at the moment, well, it is
kind of quiet. Just a bit wet and | 0:50:53 | 0:50:57 | |
windy, but some of us will see snow
as it turns colder this week. We | 0:50:57 | 0:51:02 | |
look forward to your announcement a
little bit later on. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:11 | |
The UKIP leader is facing pressure
to resign after his girlfriend made | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
offensive comments, including racist
remarks about twins Harry's fiancee, | 0:51:15 | 0:51:21 | |
Meghan Markle. Mr Bolton joins us
now. Thank you very much for coming | 0:51:21 | 0:51:28 | |
on BBC Breakfast and talking about
this. Good morning to you. I am sure | 0:51:28 | 0:51:32 | |
you have had a look at some of the
front pages of the papers. Your | 0:51:32 | 0:51:36 | |
party are in those headlines calling
for you to choose between your | 0:51:36 | 0:51:39 | |
girlfriend and your future as party
leader. So what decision have you | 0:51:39 | 0:51:43 | |
come to? | 0:51:43 | 0:51:43 | |
leader. So what decision have you
come to? We have together made the | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
decision that the romantic element
of our relationship should end. She | 0:51:45 | 0:51:49 | |
is utterly distraught, close to
breakdown, of this. She never | 0:51:49 | 0:51:55 | |
intended these comments to ever be
made public. They were made sometime | 0:51:55 | 0:52:00 | |
ago, and indeed, although utterly
indefensible, there is some context | 0:52:00 | 0:52:07 | |
to them, which in time will be
revealed. But the fact is that I am | 0:52:07 | 0:52:15 | |
going to be supporting her family
and supporting her in rebuilding her | 0:52:15 | 0:52:19 | |
life going forward. You say they are
indefensible and talk about that | 0:52:19 | 0:52:24 | |
context, why can't you explain the
context now? To explain the context, | 0:52:24 | 0:52:29 | |
she was talking about the fact that
Meghan Markle could take the Royal | 0:52:29 | 0:52:32 | |
Family, you said she had a tiny
brain, and that this was Britain and | 0:52:32 | 0:52:36 | |
not Africa. What is the context
around those comments? In that | 0:52:36 | 0:52:40 | |
particular case, there is no context
that defends or justifies the | 0:52:40 | 0:52:46 | |
comments that were made. And I was
as appalled and shocked as anybody | 0:52:46 | 0:52:50 | |
else when I saw them first. Some of
the other comments she has made do | 0:52:50 | 0:52:55 | |
have a context, and indeed, there
are elements of that which at the | 0:52:55 | 0:53:01 | |
appropriate time we will explain
what they are. I understand this | 0:53:01 | 0:53:05 | |
obviously has been a difficult
decision for you to come to, and you | 0:53:05 | 0:53:09 | |
have been discussing this with her
over the weekend, do you think this | 0:53:09 | 0:53:13 | |
saves your position as party leader
of UKIP, then? What sort of work do | 0:53:13 | 0:53:17 | |
you have to do now? The important
work now is indeed ongoing. It is | 0:53:17 | 0:53:21 | |
work which has already started,
which is to create a solid | 0:53:21 | 0:53:26 | |
administrative, financial,
logistical planning base for the | 0:53:26 | 0:53:29 | |
party, so we can actually protect
ourselves going forward. And I said | 0:53:29 | 0:53:33 | |
a couple of days ago that what we
want to see was a coming together or | 0:53:33 | 0:53:38 | |
co-ordination of the different leave
campaigns, and a mobilisation to | 0:53:38 | 0:53:42 | |
ensure we have the government
delivering the mandate they were | 0:53:42 | 0:53:46 | |
given on 23 June 20 16. That is the
core task. The problem is it is hard | 0:53:46 | 0:53:53 | |
for people to think about policy,
because the headlines have been | 0:53:53 | 0:53:56 | |
dominated by what has been happening
to you. Now, in terms of your future | 0:53:56 | 0:54:01 | |
as party leader, you ran a campaign
to be party leader based in you | 0:54:01 | 0:54:08 | |
being a happily married man. I
dispute that, I was married, I still | 0:54:08 | 0:54:13 | |
am married. But you did make that
part of your campaign, and you then | 0:54:13 | 0:54:17 | |
enter that relationship with your
wife. Did you not use the fact that | 0:54:17 | 0:54:20 | |
you were married as a part of that
campaign? Are you denying that? I | 0:54:20 | 0:54:24 | |
was asked whether I was married and
whether I had children, and I said | 0:54:24 | 0:54:28 | |
yes. I didn't make a big issue or
song and dance about it. The fact is | 0:54:28 | 0:54:35 | |
I was married, I still am married.
Obviously there are things in my | 0:54:35 | 0:54:38 | |
personal life now and there have
been since before Christmas that I | 0:54:38 | 0:54:42 | |
need to address. But I didn't make
that a central plank in any way of | 0:54:42 | 0:54:46 | |
my campaign. My campaign was about
getting the party on its feet, | 0:54:46 | 0:54:49 | |
sorting out it internal
organisations, so that we can | 0:54:49 | 0:54:52 | |
deliver effective politics. And that
is what I was consistently saying. | 0:54:52 | 0:54:57 | |
Can you understand why people would
look at you this morning and over | 0:54:57 | 0:55:01 | |
the weekend and question your trust
and judgement? And not just people | 0:55:01 | 0:55:04 | |
who may have voted UKIP in the past,
whom I consider voting UKIP in the | 0:55:04 | 0:55:09 | |
future, but people inside your own
party. To quote your own people, one | 0:55:09 | 0:55:13 | |
near UKIP activist says you must go
before you destroy the party. | 0:55:13 | 0:55:19 | |
Another says there is scandal on top
of scandal on top of scandal with | 0:55:19 | 0:55:23 | |
the leadership. And Bill Etheridge
says go now, go quietly, and leave | 0:55:23 | 0:55:26 | |
us to deal with what is left.
Because you are naive political | 0:55:26 | 0:55:31 | |
lightweight. These are people in
your own party. Yes, indeed, and in | 0:55:31 | 0:55:35 | |
fact two of the names you mentioned
were part of the leadership contest | 0:55:35 | 0:55:40 | |
themselves, and still have
aspirations in that direction. I | 0:55:40 | 0:55:43 | |
would suggest that those two
individuals, Mr Walker and Mr | 0:55:43 | 0:55:47 | |
Etheridge, should actually start
working towards the betterment of | 0:55:47 | 0:55:49 | |
the party itself, working as part of
a team, rather than coming up with | 0:55:49 | 0:55:56 | |
divisive and self-interested
comments. The point at the moment is | 0:55:56 | 0:55:59 | |
that we have got to work together.
If we fail to work together, then | 0:55:59 | 0:56:02 | |
indeed the party will fail to go
forward. And right from the | 0:56:02 | 0:56:06 | |
beginning, both of those individuals
have been following their own path. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:11 | |
How can you paint a picture of a
successful future for UKIP when it | 0:56:11 | 0:56:18 | |
is all about politics and what is
happening with you at the moment. In | 0:56:18 | 0:56:23 | |
the last election you lost 3.4
million voters compared to what you | 0:56:23 | 0:56:26 | |
got in 2015. Does the party have an
actual future? Absolutely it does. | 0:56:26 | 0:56:33 | |
We are moving steadily back up in
the polls. One of the problems for | 0:56:33 | 0:56:36 | |
the party was in total organisation,
problems with internal | 0:56:36 | 0:56:40 | |
communications, funding and so on,
and campaign planning. These are all | 0:56:40 | 0:56:44 | |
things which for the last three
months I have been working hard on | 0:56:44 | 0:56:48 | |
sorting out. And in the coming two
months or so, those things will | 0:56:48 | 0:56:51 | |
start to emerge more publicly, and
you will see the impact of what I | 0:56:51 | 0:56:56 | |
have been doing. So this doesn't...
You don't turn around a political | 0:56:56 | 0:57:01 | |
party overnight. It takes a bit of
time. So indeed, there is a fine | 0:57:01 | 0:57:05 | |
future. And indeed, the political
context at the moment is that the | 0:57:05 | 0:57:10 | |
British government at the moment is
not delivering on an effective exit | 0:57:10 | 0:57:13 | |
of the European Union. There is no
clear vision, there are no clear | 0:57:13 | 0:57:18 | |
objectives, and the 16 position
papers they have put to Brussels | 0:57:18 | 0:57:21 | |
art... I would call them vacuous,
they are very vague statements of | 0:57:21 | 0:57:25 | |
intent rather than providing a
negotiating base. It is a total | 0:57:25 | 0:57:29 | |
failure back, and somebody needs to
be holding the government to account | 0:57:29 | 0:57:33 | |
and getting them moving, getting the
planning actually mobilised, which | 0:57:33 | 0:57:35 | |
they have failed to do themselves.
Before we let you go, you told us | 0:57:35 | 0:57:39 | |
that you have entered your
relationship with your girlfriend, | 0:57:39 | 0:57:42 | |
Jo Marnie, and she has ended her
relationship with the party. She has | 0:57:42 | 0:57:51 | |
in my view quite rightly been
suspended, pending the establishment | 0:57:51 | 0:57:55 | |
of a board to look into the case --
Jo Marney. And that board will be | 0:57:55 | 0:58:00 | |
convened under the chairmanship of
the director-general of the party. | 0:58:00 | 0:58:05 | |
They will make whatever decision
they come to and I will support that | 0:58:05 | 0:58:08 | |
decision, whatever it is. Henry
Bolton, leader of the UKIP party, | 0:58:08 | 0:58:13 | |
thank | 0:58:13 | 1:01:34 | |
Vanessa Feltz is on BBC radio London
and I will be back in half an hour | 1:01:34 | 1:01:39 | |
with the next update. | 1:01:39 | 1:01:42 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 1:01:42 | 1:01:50 | |
Willian has gone into liquidation.
-- Carillion has gone into | 1:01:50 | 1:01:56 | |
liquidation. | 1:01:56 | 1:01:57 | |
I'll be looking at what it means
for the 20,000 UK workers | 1:01:57 | 1:02:00 | |
and projects like HS2. | 1:02:00 | 1:02:08 | |
Good morning, it's
Monday 15th January. | 1:02:16 | 1:02:17 | |
Also this morning - | 1:02:17 | 1:02:18 | |
Under pressure - UKIP leader,
Henry Bolton, faces calls to quit, | 1:02:18 | 1:02:21 | |
after his girlfriend
made racist remarks | 1:02:21 | 1:02:23 | |
about Prince Harry's fiancee. | 1:02:23 | 1:02:31 | |
We have both made the agreement that
the romantic element of our | 1:02:36 | 1:02:40 | |
relationship should end. She is
close to breakdown over all of this. | 1:02:40 | 1:02:44 | |
Inside the world's largest
refugee camp in Bangladesh, | 1:02:44 | 1:02:46 | |
where hundreds of thousands
of Rohingya refugees have fled | 1:02:46 | 1:02:48 | |
violence in Myanmar. | 1:02:48 | 1:02:51 | |
In sport -
its Giggs for Wales. | 1:02:51 | 1:02:53 | |
The Manchester United legend will be
named the new national coach later - | 1:02:53 | 1:02:56 | |
replacing Chris Coleman. | 1:02:56 | 1:02:58 | |
And Carol has the weather. | 1:02:58 | 1:03:04 | |
Morning. We are outside the BBC in
London it has been wet. We have | 1:03:04 | 1:03:11 | |
gusty winds moving across the
south-western quarter. We have | 1:03:11 | 1:03:16 | |
blustery showers following on. More
details in 15 minutes. | 1:03:16 | 1:03:26 | |
Carroll, thank you, we can see that
it is windy. | 1:03:26 | 1:03:32 | |
Last bid talks to secure a rescue
package for construction firm | 1:03:32 | 1:03:35 | |
Carillion have failed - | 1:03:35 | 1:03:36 | |
and in the last few minutes it's
been announced the company | 1:03:36 | 1:03:39 | |
is entering liquidation. | 1:03:39 | 1:03:40 | |
Carillion - which is involved
in projects including HS2 | 1:03:40 | 1:03:42 | |
and crossrail - has 900-million
pounds worth of debts. | 1:03:42 | 1:03:45 | |
Steph's here with more. | 1:03:45 | 1:03:46 | |
How did Carillion get
into this situation? | 1:03:46 | 1:03:54 | |
They run so many different types of
projects. They are building lots of | 1:03:56 | 1:04:02 | |
things like the Royal Liverpool
Hospital, the Aberdeen pass. They | 1:04:02 | 1:04:06 | |
are also doing a lot of maintenance
and facilities across the public. | 1:04:06 | 1:04:13 | |
They serve 36,000 school dinners
every single day. A big portfolio. | 1:04:13 | 1:04:20 | |
The company is now what is called
compulsory liquidation. That means | 1:04:20 | 1:04:26 | |
the company is now going to be wound
up. They are going to sell off the | 1:04:26 | 1:04:31 | |
assets in order to be able to recoup
some of the money they owe the banks | 1:04:31 | 1:04:36 | |
and the rest of the creditors. This
is a company that has really | 1:04:36 | 1:04:39 | |
struggled with a huge debt pile.
They have £900 million worth of debt | 1:04:39 | 1:04:45 | |
and on top of that, a huge deficit
of nearly half a billion. --A huge | 1:04:45 | 1:04:53 | |
pension deficit. There has been a
cash flow problem. Now it is the | 1:04:53 | 1:04:57 | |
case of the banks and the people
owed money wants their money. That | 1:04:57 | 1:05:05 | |
is when the company is being
liquidated. Administration would | 1:05:05 | 1:05:11 | |
have seen them continue. With
administration, a company will come | 1:05:11 | 1:05:22 | |
in, Ernst and Young, for example,
they will try and run the business | 1:05:22 | 1:05:27 | |
as is and trains sell it.
Liquidation is where it is literally | 1:05:27 | 1:05:32 | |
wound up and they have to sell off
their bit as fast as they can in | 1:05:32 | 1:05:36 | |
order to get the money back. What it
means in the short-term for everyone | 1:05:36 | 1:05:40 | |
who is now thinking, hang on a
minute, what about all of these | 1:05:40 | 1:05:44 | |
things they run, we have been told
that the government will be | 1:05:44 | 1:05:47 | |
providing the necessary funding
required by the official receiver to | 1:05:47 | 1:05:54 | |
maintain the public services carried
out by Carillion. | 1:05:54 | 1:06:02 | |
out by Carillion. Subcontractors and
suppliers. It is a case of now the | 1:06:02 | 1:06:05 | |
management will be completely
different in terms of how they run | 1:06:05 | 1:06:08 | |
this and clearly the priority for
them, the government needs to make | 1:06:08 | 1:06:12 | |
sure the public services still
happen. You talk about the size of | 1:06:12 | 1:06:15 | |
the problem, we will be talking to
union Westminster. It will be | 1:06:15 | 1:06:25 | |
injured in to hear about the
political implication. -- Ian in | 1:06:25 | 1:06:31 | |
Westminster. Huge news. Bury bad
news for those who work for | 1:06:31 | 1:06:39 | |
Carillion but I think they will be
political implications. Labour is | 1:06:39 | 1:06:44 | |
ramping up pressure on the
government. -- very bad news. Why | 1:06:44 | 1:06:49 | |
had they awarded the rail link to
Carillion after the warnings. They | 1:06:49 | 1:07:00 | |
had taken a huge diet and why would
the government either not engaging, | 1:07:00 | 1:07:04 | |
as they would see it, with
Carillion, or doing in fact the | 1:07:04 | 1:07:08 | |
opposite and awarding contracts to a
company that was in trouble. There | 1:07:08 | 1:07:12 | |
is also across party company of MPs,
the Conservative MP Ben Jenkin, he | 1:07:12 | 1:07:20 | |
says his public administration will
want to look into this issue as | 1:07:20 | 1:07:23 | |
well. Issues for the government and
the very top of management of | 1:07:23 | 1:07:29 | |
Carillion to answer as to why they
have reached this situation of going | 1:07:29 | 1:07:35 | |
into liquidation, compulsory
liquidation. A very serious move. | 1:07:35 | 1:07:39 | |
Will be those questions to the
shadow business secretary on BBC | 1:07:39 | 1:07:42 | |
breakfast this morning. | 1:07:42 | 1:07:43 | |
There's mounting pressure this
morning on the UKIP leader, | 1:07:43 | 1:07:46 | |
Henry Bolton, to resign. | 1:07:46 | 1:07:47 | |
It's after his girlfriend,
Jo Marney, was suspended | 1:07:47 | 1:07:49 | |
from the party for making racist
remarks about Prince Harry's | 1:07:49 | 1:07:52 | |
fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 1:07:52 | 1:07:53 | |
Our political correspondent,
Iain Watson, joins us from | 1:07:53 | 1:07:55 | |
Westminster. | 1:07:55 | 1:07:55 | |
Iain, is Mr Bolton
likely to stand down? | 1:07:55 | 1:08:03 | |
He was told he had to make a choice
at between his job and his | 1:08:09 | 1:08:16 | |
girlfriend. Don't forget what she
was accused of, racist comments | 1:08:16 | 1:08:20 | |
including suggesting that Meghan
Markle would taint the Royal family. | 1:08:20 | 1:08:25 | |
Further disparaging comments.
Effectively, she apologised for the | 1:08:25 | 1:08:31 | |
reckless comments but they were
taken out of context. Nonetheless, | 1:08:31 | 1:08:34 | |
in the past few minutes, Bolton told
this programme... We have together | 1:08:34 | 1:08:41 | |
made the decision that the romantic
element of our relationship should | 1:08:41 | 1:08:44 | |
end. She is utterly distraught,
close to breakdown, over all of | 1:08:44 | 1:08:50 | |
this. She never intended these
comments to ever be made public. | 1:08:50 | 1:08:54 | |
They were made ago. Indeed, although
utterly indefensible, there is some | 1:08:54 | 1:09:01 | |
context to them. -- they were made
some time ago. In time, they will be | 1:09:01 | 1:09:09 | |
revealed. I will be supporting her
family and supporting her and | 1:09:09 | 1:09:14 | |
rebuilding her life going forward.
Element he said he will help her | 1:09:14 | 1:09:22 | |
rebuild her life. -- he said he will
help her. It suggests he has | 1:09:22 | 1:09:30 | |
sympathy for Jo Marney rather than
condemnation. He was elected back in | 1:09:30 | 1:09:36 | |
September as the leader of UKIP.
Nonetheless, the pressure of him to | 1:09:36 | 1:09:41 | |
go -- for him to go will be there
still. Two former leadership | 1:09:41 | 1:09:48 | |
candidates are saying it is just
scandal after scandal with Henry | 1:09:48 | 1:09:53 | |
Bolton. The people of UKIP want him
to end their political relationship | 1:09:53 | 1:10:00 | |
with them. | 1:10:00 | 1:10:05 | |
We know that Carillion has gone into
liquidation and we will be speaking | 1:10:05 | 1:10:08 | |
to the shadow business secretary
coming up. | 1:10:08 | 1:10:10 | |
The government is being urged
to drop its target of reducing net | 1:10:10 | 1:10:14 | |
migration to the "tens
of thousands" a year, | 1:10:14 | 1:10:16 | |
because MPs say it "undermines"
trust in the state's ability | 1:10:16 | 1:10:18 | |
to control immigration. | 1:10:18 | 1:10:19 | |
A report from the home affairs
Committee also warns that a lack | 1:10:19 | 1:10:23 | |
of official data has allowed
anxiety over the number of people | 1:10:23 | 1:10:26 | |
illegally living in the UK
to grow "unchecked". | 1:10:26 | 1:10:28 | |
Our home affairs correspondent,
Danny Shaw, has more. | 1:10:28 | 1:10:36 | |
-- President Trump has
denied being a racist - | 1:10:40 | 1:10:43 | |
as a row continues over offensive
language he allegedly used | 1:10:43 | 1:10:46 | |
to describe immigrants
from Haiti and Africa. | 1:10:46 | 1:10:47 | |
He is accused of using
the word during a private | 1:10:47 | 1:10:50 | |
meeting on immigration
in the White House. | 1:10:50 | 1:10:52 | |
In his first direct response
to accusations of racism, | 1:10:52 | 1:10:55 | |
Donald Trump told reporters he had
not made the comments. | 1:10:55 | 1:10:57 | |
Will bring you the clever bit later
in the programme. | 1:11:03 | 1:11:07 | |
A leading charity is claiming
thousands of parents in England | 1:11:07 | 1:11:10 | |
are struggling to pay nursery fees,
because of problems accessing | 1:11:10 | 1:11:12 | |
a government website. | 1:11:12 | 1:11:13 | |
The Pre-school Learning Alliance
says glitches on the HMRC | 1:11:13 | 1:11:16 | |
site mean some parents are missing
out on their right to 30 hours free | 1:11:16 | 1:11:19 | |
childcare or tax breaks. | 1:11:19 | 1:11:21 | |
But the government says fewer
than 2% of parents who have opened | 1:11:21 | 1:11:24 | |
accounts had encountered problems. | 1:11:24 | 1:11:32 | |
If you have a fear of flying
you might want to look away now. | 1:11:32 | 1:11:36 | |
These are the incredible
pictures of the aftermath | 1:11:36 | 1:11:44 | |
of an incident at
an airport in Turkey. | 1:11:45 | 1:11:47 | |
Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7 lost
control, before skidding off | 1:11:47 | 1:11:49 | |
the runway, plunging over a cliff
and coming to rest just before | 1:11:49 | 1:11:53 | |
hitting the sea. | 1:11:53 | 1:11:53 | |
Pictures taken from inside
the plane have also | 1:11:53 | 1:11:56 | |
emerged - giving us an insight
into the reaction of passengers | 1:11:56 | 1:11:59 | |
inside the aircraft. | 1:11:59 | 1:11:59 | |
Incredibly, all of the 168
passengers and crew | 1:11:59 | 1:12:02 | |
escaped without injury. | 1:12:02 | 1:12:10 | |
Banks have been with us this
morning. Plenty of breaking news on | 1:12:13 | 1:12:19 | |
Breakfast this morning. | 1:12:19 | 1:12:26 | |
As we've just been hearing,
last ditch attempts to save one | 1:12:26 | 1:12:29 | |
of Britain's biggest
construction firms, | 1:12:29 | 1:12:30 | |
Carillion, have failed. | 1:12:30 | 1:12:31 | |
In the last half hour,
the company has revealed it has no | 1:12:31 | 1:12:34 | |
choice but to take steps to enter
into liquidation with immediate | 1:12:34 | 1:12:37 | |
effect. | 1:12:37 | 1:12:38 | |
Carillion was involved
in projects including HS2 | 1:12:38 | 1:12:40 | |
and crossrail and directly
employed more than 20,000, | 1:12:40 | 1:12:42 | |
with many more on contracts. | 1:12:42 | 1:12:43 | |
Joining us now is the Shadow
Buisness Secretary, Rebecca | 1:12:43 | 1:12:46 | |
Long-Bailey. | 1:12:46 | 1:12:49 | |
It has gone into liquidation, it has
a huge amount of employees and | 1:12:49 | 1:12:54 | |
obviously big projects ongoing.
What, for you, is the priority this | 1:12:54 | 1:12:58 | |
moment? It is extremely worrying and
there will be a lot of workers this | 1:12:58 | 1:13:02 | |
morning worrying about their future
and not to mention the companies in | 1:13:02 | 1:13:06 | |
the supply chain of those relying on
the company's pension fund. The | 1:13:06 | 1:13:10 | |
company must act quickly. We have
been asking them to step in and take | 1:13:10 | 1:13:14 | |
these contracts back into public
control so there is no delay in the | 1:13:14 | 1:13:27 | |
provision of any particular
services. We are also asking for a | 1:13:27 | 1:13:30 | |
full investigation into the
government's conduct of this matter. | 1:13:30 | 1:13:33 | |
This company issued three profit
warnings in the last six months and | 1:13:33 | 1:13:36 | |
yet, despite those warnings, the
government continued to grant | 1:13:36 | 1:13:38 | |
contracts to this company. This
completely contravenes policy. The | 1:13:38 | 1:13:41 | |
strategic management of risks. They
were entitled to deem this company | 1:13:41 | 1:13:46 | |
as high risk and they didn't do
this. They should have ensured that | 1:13:46 | 1:13:50 | |
Crown official was appointed to deal
with the company and mitigate any | 1:13:50 | 1:13:54 | |
potential losses that might have
occurred. Those are the questions | 1:13:54 | 1:13:57 | |
that will be asked in the days to
come. A stalk about today. We have a | 1:13:57 | 1:14:02 | |
statement from Carillion and says,
"We understand that the government | 1:14:02 | 1:14:06 | |
will providing the necessary funding
required to maintain public services | 1:14:06 | 1:14:12 | |
carried out by Carillion and related
suppliers." From what we understand, | 1:14:12 | 1:14:21 | |
school meals will still happen.
You'll agree what to see full | 1:14:21 | 1:14:24 | |
details from the government today we
expect a statement. --. We want to | 1:14:24 | 1:14:32 | |
see full details. | 1:14:32 | 1:14:37 | |
see full details. We don't want to
see the companies that are | 1:14:37 | 1:14:41 | |
profitable simply sold on and the
ones that aren't cut off. We want to | 1:14:41 | 1:14:45 | |
see this fully examined, in detail.
By the actions of the company but | 1:14:45 | 1:14:49 | |
the actions of the government
itself. In the meantime, we also | 1:14:49 | 1:14:52 | |
need to make sure that all of these
contracts are brought back into | 1:14:52 | 1:14:56 | |
public control. There is public
sector contracts, private sector | 1:14:56 | 1:15:01 | |
contracts. Bello we are talking
about public sector contracts. -- we | 1:15:01 | 1:15:05 | |
are talking about the public sector.
There are some things we are not | 1:15:05 | 1:15:09 | |
concerned with. All of the
government contracts that Carillion | 1:15:09 | 1:15:14 | |
holds. Are you concerned, for
example, about the funding of all of | 1:15:14 | 1:15:23 | |
this? I have quite a lot of concerns
about that. We want to see exactly | 1:15:23 | 1:15:28 | |
what is being put on the table, make
sure that the British taxpayer is | 1:15:28 | 1:15:31 | |
not going to lose out by the actions
of the government and this company, | 1:15:31 | 1:15:35 | |
and we need a full plan going
forward not just about dealing with | 1:15:35 | 1:15:39 | |
the issues today, of making sure
there is a seamless provision of | 1:15:39 | 1:15:42 | |
service. We want to find out why
this happened. | 1:15:42 | 1:15:51 | |
this happened. Why did the
government not act when profit | 1:15:51 | 1:15:54 | |
warnings were issued? Why have they
chosen to wait until the 11th hour | 1:15:54 | 1:15:57 | |
to step in and try and remediate any
potential losses that might be | 1:15:57 | 1:16:01 | |
incurred. One of the reasons, and
there will be obviously a myriad of | 1:16:01 | 1:16:04 | |
reasons, and we will discover all of
these. Part of the reason why | 1:16:04 | 1:16:08 | |
Carillion have been in trouble is
down to PFI, private finance | 1:16:08 | 1:16:11 | |
initiatives. So many of those were
rolled out during a Labour | 1:16:11 | 1:16:14 | |
government. Do you in some ways feel
responsible? Well, it has been eight | 1:16:14 | 1:16:17 | |
years since we had a Labour
government in power, and there have | 1:16:17 | 1:16:20 | |
been a lot of lessons learnt across
all political parties about PFI, it | 1:16:20 | 1:16:24 | |
simply doesn't work. When you have
contracts such as one in Bristol | 1:16:24 | 1:16:28 | |
when the school was charged £8,000
for a blind, we know this isn't a | 1:16:28 | 1:16:33 | |
system that works. So you are
admitting that PFI, in your view it | 1:16:33 | 1:16:36 | |
was wrong to do that. I don't agree
with PFI at all, I don't think it | 1:16:36 | 1:16:42 | |
was the delivery method that should
have been used, and I understand at | 1:16:42 | 1:16:47 | |
the time it was used it was supposed
to mitigate the risk to the public | 1:16:47 | 1:16:51 | |
sector, but that is not what has
happened in practice. We need to | 1:16:51 | 1:16:55 | |
recognise that and we need a new
method to provide these public | 1:16:55 | 1:16:58 | |
infrastructure schemes, and also a
stake. Iron it is a worrying time | 1:16:58 | 1:17:02 | |
for all those people watching
Breakfast this morning who in some | 1:17:02 | 1:17:05 | |
part work for or supply Carillion.
What can you do to help reassure | 1:17:05 | 1:17:10 | |
them that they will be... This will
be sorted out? Well, the government | 1:17:10 | 1:17:14 | |
has to step in immediately. That is
the crucial factor here that needs | 1:17:14 | 1:17:18 | |
to be put into place today. That
will give reassurance to workers | 1:17:18 | 1:17:23 | |
that they will be transferred across
into potential government | 1:17:23 | 1:17:25 | |
institutions which will provide
these services. It will also give | 1:17:25 | 1:17:29 | |
comfort to those companies in the
supply chain who rely on Carillion. | 1:17:29 | 1:17:34 | |
Thank you very much for being here,
and we will of course be putting in | 1:17:34 | 1:17:38 | |
calls as well to the government to
get a response. Thank you very much | 1:17:38 | 1:17:42 | |
for your time. That is our lead
story this morning. | 1:17:42 | 1:17:46 | |
Here is Carol with a look
at this morning's weather, | 1:17:46 | 1:17:48 | |
and she is outside BBC
Broadcasting House, in Central | 1:17:48 | 1:17:51 | |
London. | 1:17:51 | 1:17:51 | |
When are you going to reveal this
big secret? Is it later on, after | 1:17:51 | 1:17:55 | |
eight a.m.? That's right, at 8am we
have something very exciting in the | 1:17:55 | 1:18:00 | |
Alps with us, but all will be
revealed. -- | 1:18:00 | 1:18:11 | |
revealed. -- Piazza. Some of us will
cease no, even at lower levels, and | 1:18:12 | 1:18:16 | |
the wind will strengthen. If we
focus on today first of all, rain | 1:18:16 | 1:18:20 | |
across the south-east with gusty
winds. That will clear, and then all | 1:18:20 | 1:18:24 | |
of us are looking at blustery
showers. Some wintry this morning. | 1:18:24 | 1:18:28 | |
Increasingly through the day, as
temperatures dropped, we will see | 1:18:28 | 1:18:31 | |
that at lower levels. We start the
forecast at 9am in Scotland. You can | 1:18:31 | 1:18:35 | |
see where we have the showers, at
this stage the winter in is in the | 1:18:35 | 1:18:40 | |
hills. Some dry and bright
conditions, and into northern | 1:18:40 | 1:18:43 | |
England we are back in the showers.
Showers through the Midlands, some | 1:18:43 | 1:18:47 | |
of those merging, and from East
Anglia in towards the south-eastern | 1:18:47 | 1:18:51 | |
quarter generally, this is where we
have the | 1:18:51 | 1:18:53 | |
quarter generally, this is where we
have the heaviest rain continuing to | 1:18:53 | 1:18:55 | |
push towards the south-east,
eventually clearing, accompanied by | 1:18:55 | 1:18:58 | |
gusty winds. In southern counties
generally we are looking at a wet | 1:18:58 | 1:19:03 | |
start to the day. There are some
showers, some of those heavy. 11 in | 1:19:03 | 1:19:07 | |
Plymouth by 9am, so not particular
cold. Ten in Cardiff, and across | 1:19:07 | 1:19:11 | |
much of Wales again it is a wet
start for you. We are looking at | 1:19:11 | 1:19:17 | |
showers, but some of them merging.
Northern Ireland, the rain has | 1:19:17 | 1:19:20 | |
cleared you, so you will have a
mixture of bright spells and some | 1:19:20 | 1:19:23 | |
showers. Through the course of the
day, the cold air already in | 1:19:23 | 1:19:27 | |
Scotland starts to sink a bit
further south. The wintry showers in | 1:19:27 | 1:19:31 | |
Scotland increasingly getting to
lower levels. They are showers, so | 1:19:31 | 1:19:34 | |
not all of us will see them. The
rain clears away from the south-east | 1:19:34 | 1:19:39 | |
and for England, Wales and Northern
Ireland we are looking at Leicester | 1:19:39 | 1:19:42 | |
is showers. Later in the day we will
see some wintriness getting down to | 1:19:42 | 1:19:46 | |
lower levels in Northern Ireland as
well. Temperatures colder in the | 1:19:46 | 1:19:49 | |
north but not as cold in the south.
Through the evening and the | 1:19:49 | 1:19:53 | |
overnight period, we continue with
snow at lower levels in parts of | 1:19:53 | 1:19:56 | |
Scotland, Northern Ireland and
northern England. Light windy as | 1:19:56 | 1:19:59 | |
well. Further south there will be
some wintriness in the forecast for | 1:19:59 | 1:20:03 | |
south Wales, the moors of the
south-west, but the wintriness will | 1:20:03 | 1:20:06 | |
tend to be a height at lower levels.
We are looking at showers and | 1:20:06 | 1:20:10 | |
perhaps some hail in there. The risk
of ice with lower temperatures in | 1:20:10 | 1:20:15 | |
the north, not as cold further south
but it will feel cold. Tuesday, we | 1:20:15 | 1:20:19 | |
are starting to see the snow
accumulates across northern England, | 1:20:19 | 1:20:22 | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. Snow
showers almost anywhere, but as we | 1:20:22 | 1:20:27 | |
come further south most of them will
be in the hills, and we are looking | 1:20:27 | 1:20:32 | |
at some hail and some thunder, the
colder air filtering further south. | 1:20:32 | 1:20:36 | |
That leads us into Wednesday, where
it is a quieter day. A lot of dry | 1:20:36 | 1:20:42 | |
weather, with a few showers, but
rain coming in from the west. That | 1:20:42 | 1:20:45 | |
is an area of low pressure. At this
stage it is looking quite potent. It | 1:20:45 | 1:20:50 | |
may bring some disruptive weather.
In the north we could see some snow, | 1:20:50 | 1:20:54 | |
in the west in the south we could
see some very strong winds. If you | 1:20:54 | 1:20:58 | |
are travelling Wednesday into
Thursday, keep in touch with the | 1:20:58 | 1:21:01 | |
weather forecast. We have been
warned, thank you very much indeed. | 1:21:01 | 1:21:12 | |
Since August of last year,
more than 500,000 Rohingya Muslims | 1:21:12 | 1:21:14 | |
have been forced to flee violence
and persecution in Myanmar. | 1:21:14 | 1:21:17 | |
The United Nations has described
the military offensive that provoked | 1:21:17 | 1:21:20 | |
the exodus as a textbook example
of ethnic cleansing. | 1:21:20 | 1:21:22 | |
Many have sought refuge
in neighbouring Bangladesh, | 1:21:22 | 1:21:24 | |
Many have sought refuge
in neighbouring Bangladesh, | 1:21:24 | 1:21:24 | |
in what has become the world's
largest refugee camp. | 1:21:24 | 1:21:27 | |
Our South Asia correspondent
Justin Rowlatt is there | 1:21:27 | 1:21:29 | |
for us this morning. | 1:21:29 | 1:21:33 | |
Justin, we can see what conditions
are like in some ways, but tell us | 1:21:33 | 1:21:37 | |
what you have been finding. Yes,
there are 800,000 people packed in | 1:21:37 | 1:21:43 | |
to the refugee camps just in this
area, and you can get an idea of | 1:21:43 | 1:21:48 | |
what life is like for them, just
looking at the scene we see here. | 1:21:48 | 1:21:51 | |
Take a look at this. Down in the
middle, you can see the pump in the | 1:21:51 | 1:21:56 | |
middle and what is effectively an
open sewer running through the lane. | 1:21:56 | 1:21:59 | |
At the houses. These houses were
built the refugees when they first | 1:21:59 | 1:22:02 | |
arrived here. They are made out of
bamboo and tarpaulin. Very | 1:22:02 | 1:22:07 | |
rudimentary, and in just a couple of
months the first cyclones are meant | 1:22:07 | 1:22:11 | |
to come in, the beginning of the
rainy season which comes in the | 1:22:11 | 1:22:15 | |
summer. So these are very
vulnerable, and these densely packed | 1:22:15 | 1:22:19 | |
communities explain why disease is
spreading through these communities. | 1:22:19 | 1:22:22 | |
At the moment they are battling an
outbreak of deadly diphtheria. A | 1:22:22 | 1:22:26 | |
couple of days ago I was out with
outreach workers whose job it was to | 1:22:26 | 1:22:31 | |
try and find people who might be
infected, and stop this outbreak | 1:22:31 | 1:22:34 | |
spreading. | 1:22:34 | 1:22:38 | |
Yassim is category red. | 1:22:38 | 1:22:39 | |
He has a serious
diphtheria infection. | 1:22:39 | 1:22:41 | |
This bacterial disease blocks
the airways, and is often fatal | 1:22:41 | 1:22:44 | |
if it isn't treated. | 1:22:44 | 1:22:45 | |
It is also highly contagious. | 1:22:45 | 1:22:53 | |
It is Dr Haldar's job to try
and stop the outbreak spreading. | 1:22:53 | 1:22:57 | |
He runs a team of outreach workers. | 1:22:57 | 1:22:59 | |
When a diphtheria case comes
in, their work begins. | 1:22:59 | 1:23:02 | |
They trek through this giant refugee
camp, now the biggest in the world, | 1:23:02 | 1:23:05 | |
trying to find people who might have
been exposed to the disease. | 1:23:05 | 1:23:09 | |
The outreach workers can see up
to ten cases every day, | 1:23:09 | 1:23:13 | |
which can mean a lot of walking. | 1:23:13 | 1:23:20 | |
So the challenge for this team
is to hunt down infection, | 1:23:20 | 1:23:23 | |
and then stamp it out. | 1:23:23 | 1:23:28 | |
The hunt begins at Yassim's home. | 1:23:28 | 1:23:34 | |
Rita and Repa need to take care. | 1:23:34 | 1:23:36 | |
Close contact can be
dangerous, even if you have | 1:23:36 | 1:23:38 | |
had the vaccination. | 1:23:38 | 1:23:43 | |
Some members of the medical
team have been infected. | 1:23:43 | 1:23:51 | |
They explain how dangerous
diphtheria can be, and give everyone | 1:23:53 | 1:23:58 | |
in the family antibiotics. | 1:23:58 | 1:24:02 | |
That will stop the
disease developing. | 1:24:02 | 1:24:05 | |
Anyone who has been in close contact
with a patient for more than an hour | 1:24:05 | 1:24:09 | |
needs to be treated. | 1:24:09 | 1:24:17 | |
Well, listen, how dangerous is it
for us, just sitting out here? | 1:24:20 | 1:24:23 | |
It's not as dangerous for us,
but it's dangerous for the Rohingya | 1:24:23 | 1:24:27 | |
community, if they were not
vaccinated when they arrived. | 1:24:27 | 1:24:29 | |
So what is happening now? | 1:24:29 | 1:24:30 | |
Are you getting this
disease under control? | 1:24:30 | 1:24:32 | |
We hope that we can control it
through vaccination, | 1:24:32 | 1:24:35 | |
with preventative medicine,
as well as with treating the cases. | 1:24:35 | 1:24:38 | |
The signs are that this disease,
long forgotten in countries | 1:24:38 | 1:24:40 | |
where vaccination is commonplace,
is now being brought under control. | 1:24:40 | 1:24:43 | |
But the hunt continues. | 1:24:43 | 1:24:44 | |
With more than 800,000 people packed
together in these vast refugee | 1:24:44 | 1:24:47 | |
camps, the team can't
take any chances. | 1:24:47 | 1:24:55 | |
So I am sure you will be wondering
how Yassim, the boy we featured at | 1:25:00 | 1:25:06 | |
the beginning of the report, is, and
I am pleased to say he is doing very | 1:25:06 | 1:25:11 | |
well. I am joined by a
representative from the UNHCR. What | 1:25:11 | 1:25:15 | |
challenges are there for refugees
living in these huge camps? Well, | 1:25:15 | 1:25:21 | |
what the refugees tell us if they
want what we want. They want to be | 1:25:21 | 1:25:25 | |
safe and secure, they want their
children to be safe and secure. They | 1:25:25 | 1:25:28 | |
want health, they want to be able to
cook a decent meal. Nutrition for | 1:25:28 | 1:25:32 | |
their children. They want a future
for their children, that they can do | 1:25:32 | 1:25:36 | |
something recreational, educational,
and they want to be able to support | 1:25:36 | 1:25:39 | |
themselves. They are a resilient.
They built these shelters, and they | 1:25:39 | 1:25:43 | |
care for their elderly, and they are
extremely close with each other. And | 1:25:43 | 1:25:47 | |
so our priority at the UN refugee
agency, UNHCR, is to build on the | 1:25:47 | 1:25:53 | |
resilience and capacities by
recruiting community outreach | 1:25:53 | 1:26:00 | |
members, and get information on
their needs and priorities. Thank | 1:26:00 | 1:26:05 | |
you very much indeed, and I can
endorse what she said. I have been | 1:26:05 | 1:26:09 | |
here since the beginning of this
crisis and the refugees really have | 1:26:09 | 1:26:12 | |
shown incredible resilience. We will
be reporting here throughout the day | 1:26:12 | 1:26:17 | |
on the BBC. Enqueue much, thank you. | 1:26:17 | 1:26:24 | |
-- thank you very much. Thank you. | 1:26:24 | 1:26:27 | |
You are watching Breakfast. | 1:26:27 | 1:26:29 | |
Still to come this morning: | 1:26:29 | 1:26:33 | |
Strange people are watching you say
hello to your dad, and you are | 1:26:33 | 1:26:38 | |
thinking why are you watching us?
Can we not have anything private? | 1:26:38 | 1:26:41 | |
Flynn
was just four years old when his dad | 1:26:41 | 1:26:44 | |
was sent to prison. | 1:26:44 | 1:26:45 | |
He will be here to explain
what it is like to have a parent | 1:26:45 | 1:26:48 | |
behind bars. | 1:26:48 | 1:26:49 | |
In the next few minutes we will have
more on Carillion. | 1:26:49 | 1:30:12 | |

Hello, this is Breakfast
with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 1:30:21 | 1:30:24 | |
Here's a summary of this morning's
main stories from BBC News. | 1:30:24 | 1:30:32 | |
One of Britain's biggest
construction companies, | 1:30:33 | 1:30:34 | |
Carillion, has been placed
into liquidation this morning. | 1:30:34 | 1:30:36 | |
Government officials had been
holding talks with the firm's | 1:30:36 | 1:30:39 | |
creditors throughout the weekend,
but appear to have been unable | 1:30:39 | 1:30:42 | |
to reach a rescue deal. | 1:30:42 | 1:30:43 | |
Carillion, which was involved
in many major contracts - | 1:30:43 | 1:30:45 | |
including HS2 and crossrail -
had 900-million pounds worth | 1:30:45 | 1:30:48 | |
of debts and directly employed
20,000 workers in the UK. | 1:30:48 | 1:30:56 | |
Explain the difference between
liquidation and administration. The | 1:31:00 | 1:31:02 | |
iMac this company will now be run by
the receivers. | 1:31:02 | 1:31:11 | |
the receivers. -- this company will
now be run by. Banks, suppliers they | 1:31:12 | 1:31:17 | |
haven't paid, that is what
liquidation means. The difference | 1:31:17 | 1:31:21 | |
between that and administration, in
administration, the company would | 1:31:21 | 1:31:24 | |
carry on as normal in the hope of
selling off the business as it is. | 1:31:24 | 1:31:29 | |
In this case, liquidation, they are
selling it off as fast as possible. | 1:31:29 | 1:31:35 | |
Element it is a huge company. --. --
it is a huge company. They are | 1:31:35 | 1:31:46 | |
building things like the Royal
Liverpool Hospital but also public | 1:31:46 | 1:31:50 | |
sector areas. For example, they
provide over 30,000 school meals | 1:31:50 | 1:31:55 | |
everyday. There is loads of
different areas of life. This is why | 1:31:55 | 1:32:01 | |
people are so concerned. Not least
because there are 20,000 people who | 1:32:01 | 1:32:04 | |
work there who will now be worried
about their jobs but the wider | 1:32:04 | 1:32:08 | |
ripple effect. We understand from
the statement put out this morning | 1:32:08 | 1:32:13 | |
that the government will continue to
provide those public services. It | 1:32:13 | 1:32:16 | |
won't be a case to your kid won't be
able to go to school this morning, | 1:32:16 | 1:32:21 | |
it they won't be fed. It is the
bigger picture. It is what will | 1:32:21 | 1:32:28 | |
happen to the supplier now in terms
of their contracts. That's what | 1:32:28 | 1:32:35 | |
needs to be sorted out. We will get
more information. | 1:32:35 | 1:32:42 | |
Our reporter, Peter Plisner,
is outside Carillion's | 1:32:42 | 1:32:43 | |
headquarters in Wolverhampton. | 1:32:43 | 1:32:44 | |
Peter, what happens
to the workers now? | 1:32:44 | 1:32:52 | |
Bello it is unclear. 400 workers
based here in the headquarters. -- | 1:32:57 | 1:33:03 | |
it is unclear. There is 20,000
workers across the world working for | 1:33:03 | 1:33:09 | |
Carillion. They -- their jobs are
clearly insecure. It is the company | 1:33:09 | 1:33:19 | |
that "Runs Britain". It has evolved
from a construction company to a | 1:33:19 | 1:33:28 | |
services company, maintaining
Ministry of Defence homes, building | 1:33:28 | 1:33:33 | |
and maintaining hospitals and
schools and some prisons. They have | 1:33:33 | 1:33:36 | |
major contracts here in the
Midlands. You already mentioned | 1:33:36 | 1:33:40 | |
high-speed rail. There is also a
major regeneration in the centre of | 1:33:40 | 1:33:44 | |
Birmingham and that is a private
scheme. No doubt, the company behind | 1:33:44 | 1:33:48 | |
that will need to find a new
contract in the coming weeks. There | 1:33:48 | 1:33:52 | |
is also a public sector scheme for a
new hospital and that is what is | 1:33:52 | 1:33:56 | |
known as a PFI scheme where
Carillion is effectively doing it | 1:33:56 | 1:34:06 | |
with their own money. It is unclear
what is happening. It is a sad day | 1:34:06 | 1:34:12 | |
for the construction industry and
indeed, the UK. Step will be back in | 1:34:12 | 1:34:19 | |
a few minutes to get us a union
reaction. -- Steph. UK's second | 1:34:19 | 1:34:28 | |
biggest construction company, it
employed 20,000 people in this | 1:34:28 | 1:34:31 | |
country, over 40,000 around the
world, has gone into liquidation | 1:34:31 | 1:34:34 | |
this morning, Carillion. | 1:34:34 | 1:34:34 | |
UKIP's under-fire leader has told
Breakfast he is no longer | 1:34:34 | 1:34:37 | |
romantically involved with the woman
The leader of UKIP is facing | 1:34:37 | 1:34:40 | |
a growing number of calls
to stand down this morning, | 1:34:40 | 1:34:43 | |
after it emerged his girlfriend,
Jo Marney, made racist remarks | 1:34:43 | 1:34:46 | |
about Prince Harry's
fiance, Meghan Markle. | 1:34:46 | 1:34:49 | |
Members of his own party are among
those who have called | 1:34:49 | 1:34:52 | |
for his resignation and have
urged Mr Bolton to leave | 1:34:52 | 1:34:55 | |
"quickly" and "quietly". | 1:34:55 | 1:34:58 | |
He told this programme is leadership
was needed to hold this government | 1:34:58 | 1:35:02 | |
to account on Brexit. | 1:35:02 | 1:35:05 | |
The government is being urged
to drop its target of reducing net | 1:35:05 | 1:35:08 | |
migration to the "tens
of thousands", because MPs warn it | 1:35:08 | 1:35:11 | |
undermines trust in the state's
ability to control immigration. | 1:35:11 | 1:35:13 | |
A report from the home affairs
Committee also warns that anxiety | 1:35:13 | 1:35:16 | |
over the number of people
living in the UK illegally has been | 1:35:16 | 1:35:20 | |
allowed to grow "unchecked"
because of a lack of official data | 1:35:20 | 1:35:23 | |
on the scale of the problem. | 1:35:23 | 1:35:25 | |
Police in East Yorkshire believe
they've found the body of a man, | 1:35:25 | 1:35:28 | |
suspected of using a crossbow
to kill his neighbour. | 1:35:28 | 1:35:30 | |
Officers in Humberside began
searching for 56-year-old | 1:35:30 | 1:35:32 | |
Anthony Lawrence, following
the death of Shane Gilmer on Friday. | 1:35:32 | 1:35:35 | |
His pregnant girlfriend,
Laura Sugden, was also seriously | 1:35:35 | 1:35:37 | |
wounded in the attack. | 1:35:37 | 1:35:45 | |
A senior coroner will today
deliver his conclusions | 1:35:46 | 1:35:48 | |
at the second inquest
into the death of the toddler, | 1:35:48 | 1:35:51 | |
Poppi Worthington. | 1:35:51 | 1:35:51 | |
The 13-month old was found
with serious injuries | 1:35:51 | 1:35:53 | |
at her home
in Cumbria in 2012. | 1:35:53 | 1:35:55 | |
The controversial first inquest
was quashed by the High Court | 1:35:55 | 1:35:58 | |
after it lasted just seven minutes
and was shrouded in secrecy. | 1:35:58 | 1:36:06 | |
25 minutes until Carol is going to
unveil a surprise for us outside | 1:36:06 | 1:36:09 | |
that broadcasting house. | 1:36:09 | 1:36:17 | |
Also being unveiled today, we
suspect it is going to be Ryan Giggs | 1:36:17 | 1:36:24 | |
as the new Wales boss. Big issues to
fill. | 1:36:24 | 1:36:31 | |
fill. The hopes of Wales now, if
they make it to another tournament, | 1:36:37 | 1:36:41 | |
are pinned on Ryan Giggs. Many Wales
fans are saying he is probably not | 1:36:41 | 1:36:46 | |
the right man for the job. A mixed
response to the news that he is said | 1:36:46 | 1:36:50 | |
to be named manager of the Wales
national side, succeeding Chris | 1:36:50 | 1:36:54 | |
Coleman. | 1:36:54 | 1:36:55 | |
Giggs' only managerial experience
so far was four games | 1:36:55 | 1:36:57 | |
in charge of Manchester United
when David Moyes was sacked in 2014. | 1:36:57 | 1:37:01 | |
Coleman stepped down in November,
after Wales failed to qualify | 1:37:01 | 1:37:03 | |
for this year's World Cup. | 1:37:03 | 1:37:10 | |
After 30 games and 281 days,
Manchester City's unbeaten | 1:37:10 | 1:37:14 | |
Premier League run
is finally over. | 1:37:14 | 1:37:16 | |
They lost 4-3 to Liverpool,
in an incredible match at Anfield. | 1:37:16 | 1:37:19 | |
Liverpool scored three
goals in eight minutes, | 1:37:19 | 1:37:21 | |
to go 4-1 up in the second half. | 1:37:21 | 1:37:23 | |
City did fight back,
but they couldn't find an equaliser | 1:37:23 | 1:37:26 | |
- they are still 15 points clear
at the top of the table | 1:37:26 | 1:37:29 | |
but Liverpool are celebrating
a famous victory.. | 1:37:29 | 1:37:37 | |
It's possible that yesterday
was a historical game. | 1:37:37 | 1:37:39 | |
We will talk about it in 20 years
when we watch back and think | 1:37:39 | 1:37:44 | |
about the champion in 17-18,
Man City, lost one game because it | 1:37:44 | 1:37:47 | |
looks like they will
not lose another one. | 1:37:47 | 1:37:49 | |
Big respect for their performance
and of course what we did today. | 1:37:49 | 1:37:57 | |
Liverpool demanding a lot,
you make a mistake, they punish you. | 1:38:00 | 1:38:04 | |
With Salah, with Chamberlain
so with a team with the quality, | 1:38:04 | 1:38:06 | |
to run and to make fast attacks. | 1:38:06 | 1:38:08 | |
Hopefully we can learn
from that for the future. | 1:38:08 | 1:38:16 | |
And for the first time ever
Bournemouth beat Arsenal, | 1:38:18 | 1:38:21 | |
coming from behind in front
of their home crowd to win 2-1 - | 1:38:21 | 1:38:24 | |
thanks to Jordan Ibe. | 1:38:24 | 1:38:25 | |
His first goal for the club
and what a time to score it. | 1:38:25 | 1:38:33 | |
Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed
the biggest win of his career, | 1:38:35 | 1:38:38 | |
beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson
in the first round of the Australian | 1:38:38 | 1:38:41 | |
Open. | 1:38:41 | 1:38:42 | |
He twice came from a set down
and was trailing 2-0 | 1:38:42 | 1:38:45 | |
in the deciding set before he took
the match and reached the second | 1:38:45 | 1:38:48 | |
round in Melbourne for
only the second time. | 1:38:48 | 1:38:50 | |
He'll face Denis Istomin next. | 1:38:50 | 1:38:53 | |
And there were a couple of surprises
in the women's draw - | 1:38:53 | 1:38:57 | |
Venus Williams and the US Open
champion Sloane Stephens have both | 1:38:57 | 1:39:00 | |
been knocked out in
the opening round. | 1:39:00 | 1:39:04 | |
Billy Vunipola is set to miss
England's Six Nations campaign. | 1:39:04 | 1:39:06 | |
He broke his arm playing
for Saracens in their draw | 1:39:06 | 1:39:09 | |
with Ospreys over the weekend. | 1:39:09 | 1:39:10 | |
It was only his second game back
after a long lay-off after a knee | 1:39:10 | 1:39:14 | |
operation. | 1:39:14 | 1:39:21 | |
There was a shock on the opening day
of the UK Masters snooker event | 1:39:21 | 1:39:25 | |
at Alexandra Palace. | 1:39:25 | 1:39:26 | |
World champion Mark Selby
is out after losing 6-5 | 1:39:26 | 1:39:28 | |
to the former world number
one, Mark Williams. | 1:39:28 | 1:39:30 | |
Selby was also eliminated early
in the UK Championship last month. | 1:39:30 | 1:39:38 | |
Defending champion Glen Durrant has
retained his BDO World darts title | 1:39:40 | 1:39:43 | |
with a dramatic win in the deciding
set against Mark McGeeney. | 1:39:43 | 1:39:46 | |
These were this year's top two
seeds in the competition. | 1:39:46 | 1:39:49 | |
McGeeney did have darts to win
the match, but Durrant | 1:39:49 | 1:39:51 | |
forced his way back to win by seven
sets to six and take the second | 1:39:51 | 1:39:55 | |
Lakeside title of his career. | 1:39:55 | 1:39:57 | |
Now, how about this
for marital teamwork? | 1:39:57 | 1:39:59 | |
England's Chris Paisley has
won his first European Tour title - | 1:39:59 | 1:40:02 | |
and his wife was his caddy. | 1:40:02 | 1:40:03 | |
He closed with a round of 66 to win
the South Africa Open - | 1:40:03 | 1:40:07 | |
and there to congratulate him
was wife Keri, who was carrying his | 1:40:07 | 1:40:10 | |
clubs for the first time. | 1:40:10 | 1:40:12 | |
His regular caddie was on holiday -
will he get his job back, | 1:40:12 | 1:40:15 | |
I wonder? | 1:40:15 | 1:40:19 | |
She doesn't know much about golf
but she knows me better | 1:40:19 | 1:40:22 | |
than anyone. | 1:40:22 | 1:40:23 | |
At times when she knew
I was getting a bit uptight, | 1:40:23 | 1:40:26 | |
she would come me down. | 1:40:26 | 1:40:27 | |
She was just a massive this week
and I can't say enough about it. | 1:40:27 | 1:40:35 | |
She obviously knows her golf as
well. Is not an easy job, being a | 1:40:36 | 1:40:43 | |
caddy. It's not just carrying a bag.
At a pink --I don't think mind would | 1:40:43 | 1:40:53 | |
cope. -- my husband. | 1:40:53 | 1:40:59 | |
A quarter of a million children
in the UK have a parent in prison, | 1:40:59 | 1:41:03 | |
but it can be a subject that many
find difficult to talk about. | 1:41:03 | 1:41:06 | |
11-year-old Flynn is one of a group
of children who have taken part | 1:41:06 | 1:41:10 | |
in a new CBBC documentary,
which explores | 1:41:10 | 1:41:12 | |
what it's like to have a family
member behind bars. | 1:41:12 | 1:41:14 | |
He's here, along with his mum, Sue. | 1:41:14 | 1:41:16 | |
We'll speak to them in a moment,
but first let's see a clip of Flynn | 1:41:16 | 1:41:20 | |
sharing his thoughts with a friend. | 1:41:20 | 1:41:24 | |
What's this prison life when you go
to prison? There is strange people | 1:41:24 | 1:41:30 | |
just watching you, saying hello to
your data. You are just like, why | 1:41:30 | 1:41:35 | |
are you watching, why did you need
to watch us, do we not have anything | 1:41:35 | 1:41:40 | |
private? -- Dad. I want him to come
back so he can come and watch me | 1:41:40 | 1:41:48 | |
play football. I'm always here when
you need me. Blair it feels good to | 1:41:48 | 1:41:53 | |
talk to you about it. I've been
keeping it in. -- I've been keeping | 1:41:53 | 1:42:01 | |
it in. Now you have asked me these
questions, I have no more worries | 1:42:01 | 1:42:05 | |
any more falls of. | 1:42:05 | 1:42:11 | |
I'm delighted to say that Flynn is
here now. Great to have you. Can you | 1:42:11 | 1:42:19 | |
explain. It must have been a big
step for you as a family to take | 1:42:19 | 1:42:25 | |
part in this documentary. It was
hard because I was worried about the | 1:42:25 | 1:42:30 | |
children and the journey that they
would be taking, emotionally. It's | 1:42:30 | 1:42:34 | |
something we all felt strongly
about. We need to reduce the stigma | 1:42:34 | 1:42:38 | |
attached to the subject because so
many people find it hard to talk | 1:42:38 | 1:42:42 | |
about. It's a difficult subject. You
were talking to your friend, why did | 1:42:42 | 1:42:47 | |
you want to talk about it? Did you
want to tell other people what it's | 1:42:47 | 1:42:51 | |
like? I wanted to tell people,
people who have parenting prison, I | 1:42:51 | 1:43:01 | |
told him all my feelings inside,
what was wrong and all of that. | 1:43:01 | 1:43:08 | |
There must be so many things that
are really difficult. You can't see | 1:43:08 | 1:43:16 | |
your dad very often. What is the
most difficult? Probably that he | 1:43:16 | 1:43:20 | |
can't give me hugs. Tell me how it
works when you go and visit him. You | 1:43:20 | 1:43:29 | |
go in through the door and you have
to take all your shoes and | 1:43:29 | 1:43:33 | |
everything off and fingerprints
which the adults do and then you | 1:43:33 | 1:43:37 | |
have to put your shoes through the
scanner thing like the airport and | 1:43:37 | 1:43:45 | |
then you have to go through a big
metal detector which stands up. Is | 1:43:45 | 1:43:55 | |
he allowed to give you one hard at
the beginning? When we go in, we can | 1:43:55 | 1:44:00 | |
have a heart. -- hug. Practically,
it is not things you think about. | 1:44:00 | 1:44:10 | |
You love football but your dad has
never seen you. You take videos and | 1:44:10 | 1:44:14 | |
show them he can see you? Download
it onto a hard drive so when he | 1:44:14 | 1:44:21 | |
comes home... What's it like for
you, Flynn? I don't know. Do you | 1:44:21 | 1:44:30 | |
find it difficult? Is that why you
find it hard to talk to your | 1:44:30 | 1:44:34 | |
friends? Kind of, yeah. You talked
about the stigma. When he first went | 1:44:34 | 1:44:41 | |
into prison, what did you tell the
children and have you learned | 1:44:41 | 1:44:45 | |
anything from the way that you have
all dealt with it? Initially, the | 1:44:45 | 1:44:50 | |
children knew because when he was
arrested it was first thing in the | 1:44:50 | 1:44:54 | |
morning so we all witnessed that
which was very traumatic in itself. | 1:44:54 | 1:44:58 | |
I wasn't able to really tell the
children an awful lot because we | 1:44:58 | 1:45:03 | |
have never been in this situation
before and there was no one in our | 1:45:03 | 1:45:06 | |
area he could give us any
information. For any support. We | 1:45:06 | 1:45:10 | |
were kind of floundering. It didn't
take them the first 6-8 weeks to | 1:45:10 | 1:45:16 | |
visit because it was traumatic. | 1:45:16 | 1:45:22 | |
visit because it was traumatic. And
when the sentence did come, I wasn't | 1:45:22 | 1:45:25 | |
really able to tell the children,
because I couldn't deal with it | 1:45:25 | 1:45:29 | |
myself. Unfortunately our elder
daughter, who didn't take part in | 1:45:29 | 1:45:33 | |
the photos, she found out by social
media at school, before I had even | 1:45:33 | 1:45:38 | |
got home from court, which had a
massive impact. So what have you | 1:45:38 | 1:45:44 | |
learnt? Were there other things that
you would do differently, if you | 1:45:44 | 1:45:47 | |
could go back? Be as honest as you
possibly can be, don't... Once I | 1:45:47 | 1:45:54 | |
knew the sentence, I couldn't tell
the children at the time, because I | 1:45:54 | 1:46:01 | |
couldn't deal with it, so I just
said he couldn't come home yet. When | 1:46:01 | 1:46:05 | |
I did tell them, they already knew
because people had been talking | 1:46:05 | 1:46:08 | |
about it. So instead of protecting
them, I think I had broken the trust | 1:46:08 | 1:46:12 | |
that we have between us. So I think
just be as honest as you can. It is | 1:46:12 | 1:46:17 | |
understandable, isn't it? As a mum,
you want to protect them. And how | 1:46:17 | 1:46:22 | |
have your friends responded? How has
that been, since you have told the | 1:46:22 | 1:46:26 | |
people? They understand, but I think
if they go out and meet another | 1:46:26 | 1:46:34 | |
friend who has got a parent in
prison, they will understand as | 1:46:34 | 1:46:37 | |
well. And that is really important,
isn't it? Yes. Now, I know you are a | 1:46:37 | 1:46:44 | |
big football fan. Do you know Robbie
Savage, and if you are able to hang | 1:46:44 | 1:46:51 | |
around, you will be able to get a
picture and have a chat with them. I | 1:46:51 | 1:46:55 | |
know he never played for Spurs, but
you can still have a chat with him. | 1:46:55 | 1:47:02 | |
And that documentary is on CBBC this
evening, and if you can't catch it, | 1:47:02 | 1:47:10 | |
you can get it later on iPlayer. | 1:47:10 | 1:47:17 | |
And this is the fun part where we go
and see where Karalis. | 1:47:17 | 1:47:21 | |
She is outside BBC Broadcasting
House in Central London. | 1:47:21 | 1:47:24 | |
She is outside BBC Broadcasting
House in Central London. | 1:47:24 | 1:47:26 | |
We are 15 minutes away from the
secret, and it is a good one. -- | 1:47:26 | 1:47:31 | |
where Carol is. Many of us are
staying in the high single figures, | 1:47:31 | 1:47:37 | |
some even into double figures. It is
wet and windy. Not just have we got | 1:47:37 | 1:47:41 | |
that today, but we also have
blustery showers. So as a wet and | 1:47:41 | 1:47:45 | |
windy weather clears away from the
south-east, it will be replaced with | 1:47:45 | 1:47:49 | |
blustery showers, and as we had
through this week it is going to | 1:47:49 | 1:47:53 | |
turn increasingly cold, with some of
us seeing some snow and | 1:47:53 | 1:47:56 | |
strengthening winds. So this morning
across Scotland we do have some | 1:47:56 | 1:47:59 | |
wintry showers, but at this stage
they are largely on the hills. | 1:47:59 | 1:48:02 | |
Showers will be interspersed with
bright spells, and as is the case | 1:48:02 | 1:48:05 | |
with showers, not all of us will see
them. Across northern England and | 1:48:05 | 1:48:09 | |
the Midlands, further showers, some
of them merging, so you will see | 1:48:09 | 1:48:13 | |
some heavy bursts. Across East
Anglia and the south-eastern corner | 1:48:13 | 1:48:17 | |
of England, it is wet. We have heavy
rain, gusty winds, pushing off into | 1:48:17 | 1:48:22 | |
the near continent. As we move along
the other side of the southern | 1:48:22 | 1:48:26 | |
counties of England, towards the
south-west, it is a wet start to the | 1:48:26 | 1:48:30 | |
day. Some showers or some rain, but
not particular cold. It is very wet | 1:48:30 | 1:48:35 | |
across Wales at the moment, the rain
continuing to go through the course | 1:48:35 | 1:48:38 | |
of the morning. For Northern
Ireland, the rain has cleared you | 1:48:38 | 1:48:42 | |
and you have a mixture of bright
spells and showers. Through the | 1:48:42 | 1:48:45 | |
course of the day what you will find
as the rain and gusty winds clearing | 1:48:45 | 1:48:49 | |
away from the south-east. Then for
most of the UK it will be a day of | 1:48:49 | 1:48:53 | |
lost three showers, some sunny
spells, and also we will see some | 1:48:53 | 1:48:57 | |
bright spells. But the cold air
already embedded across Scotland | 1:48:57 | 1:49:00 | |
will filter further south. So the
temperatures will go down in the | 1:49:00 | 1:49:04 | |
afternoon across Northern Ireland
and the far north of northern | 1:49:04 | 1:49:06 | |
England. Increasingly we will start
to see some snow at low levels. | 1:49:06 | 1:49:10 | |
Especially for the evening and
overnight. That is for Scotland, | 1:49:10 | 1:49:13 | |
Northern Ireland and northern
England. Further south, in some of | 1:49:13 | 1:49:17 | |
the showers across South Wales and
the south-west Moors, for | 1:49:17 | 1:49:28 | |
the south-west Moors, for example,
we could also see some wintriness, | 1:49:28 | 1:49:31 | |
but that will generally be in the
hills. But with some of the heavier | 1:49:31 | 1:49:34 | |
showers we could also see some hail.
Cold in the north, with some ice. | 1:49:34 | 1:49:38 | |
Not as cold further south. Starting
off tomorrow, the snow will still be | 1:49:38 | 1:49:41 | |
falling across parts of Scotland,
northern England and Northern | 1:49:41 | 1:49:44 | |
Ireland. We could see it mount up,
especially the northern Scotland, | 1:49:44 | 1:49:47 | |
and for Northern Ireland, falling
across northern England. Further | 1:49:47 | 1:49:49 | |
south, we could see wintry showers
everywhere, but most of the | 1:49:49 | 1:49:52 | |
wintriness will be on the hills. In
some of the heavier showers expect | 1:49:52 | 1:49:56 | |
some hail and thunder, with gales
across the south-west. As we head | 1:49:56 | 1:50:00 | |
into Wednesday, a quieter day, a dry
day weatherwise. Some sunshine and a | 1:50:00 | 1:50:03 | |
few showers and then an area of low
pressure coming in from the west. | 1:50:03 | 1:50:07 | |
This is what we think at the moment.
It will be quite potent and could | 1:50:07 | 1:50:11 | |
wring some snow across the north of
the country. But some disruptive | 1:50:11 | 1:50:14 | |
winds across the west in the south,
so something worth keeping tuned to | 1:50:14 | 1:50:17 | |
the weather forecast for that alone,
and everything else, of course. | 1:50:17 | 1:50:21 | |
Thank you very much, so we are
waiting, and in ten minutes we will | 1:50:21 | 1:50:25 | |
have the announcement, whatever the
surprises. Genuinely excited. We | 1:50:25 | 1:50:32 | |
promised you Steph will be back
about 7:50 a.m.. | 1:50:32 | 1:50:38 | |
Talks between Carillion,
its creditors and the Government | 1:50:38 | 1:50:40 | |
have failed to reach a deal,
and now the company | 1:50:40 | 1:50:43 | |
is to go into liquidation. | 1:50:43 | 1:50:44 | |
is to go into liquidation. | 1:50:44 | 1:50:44 | |
What this will mean for the more
than 40,000 employees, | 1:50:44 | 1:50:47 | |
including 20,000 in
the UK, is unknown. | 1:50:47 | 1:50:49 | |
Steph is speaking to
the union this morning. | 1:50:49 | 1:50:51 | |
Lots of people already bringing
statements out, because this is | 1:50:51 | 1:50:54 | |
massive news. The tentacles of their
business spread into so many | 1:50:54 | 1:50:57 | |
different parts of our lives. I will
tell you about that and then we will | 1:50:57 | 1:51:01 | |
talk to Unite about this. This is a
company working on billions of | 1:51:01 | 1:51:05 | |
pounds of public sector contracts,
in our hospitals, schools, prisons | 1:51:05 | 1:51:08 | |
and railways. | 1:51:08 | 1:51:10 | |
Going into liquidation means it
will now be run by accountancy firm | 1:51:10 | 1:51:13 | |
PwC. | 1:51:13 | 1:51:14 | |
They will be looking to see off
assets from the firm. | 1:51:14 | 1:51:20 | |
It is a lengthy process, there is
lots of uncertainty around it, but | 1:51:20 | 1:51:24 | |
of course want of the biggest issues
is what it will mean for the 20,000 | 1:51:24 | 1:51:28 | |
people in the UK who work for
Carillion. | 1:51:28 | 1:51:30 | |
Joining me from London
is Jim Kennedy, national officer | 1:51:30 | 1:51:33 | |
for local authorities
at the Unite Union. | 1:51:33 | 1:51:34 | |
Good morning to you. What is your
reaction to this news, then? Well, | 1:51:34 | 1:51:38 | |
it is obviously devastating news
this morning that we have had for | 1:51:38 | 1:51:43 | |
our members within Carillion and the
wider workforce in Carillion. The | 1:51:43 | 1:51:50 | |
insecurity over the weekend, the
radio silence that prevailed over | 1:51:50 | 1:51:55 | |
the weekend, in terms of the future
of Carillion, was obviously | 1:51:55 | 1:52:02 | |
unhelpful four are members, and this
morning, obviously, the latest news | 1:52:02 | 1:52:07 | |
is quite awful. And what we seek,
obviously, this morning is some | 1:52:07 | 1:52:12 | |
assurances from the government, both
on jobs, wages and pensions. For | 1:52:12 | 1:52:17 | |
those directly employed by
Carillion, and indeed those among | 1:52:17 | 1:52:22 | |
the wider supply chain, of which
there are many, many thousands. Do | 1:52:22 | 1:52:26 | |
you have any ideas yet, Jim, about
those jobs? About the 20,000 people? | 1:52:26 | 1:52:34 | |
Have they been told anything yet?
Know, from what we are aware at the | 1:52:34 | 1:52:39 | |
moment, there has been no news
relayed to the workers at all, which | 1:52:39 | 1:52:42 | |
is quite awful state of affairs.
These are directly employed workers | 1:52:42 | 1:52:46 | |
delivering in the main public sector
contracts and delivering essential | 1:52:46 | 1:52:51 | |
public services. So there is huge
insecurity about jobs and huge | 1:52:51 | 1:52:56 | |
insecurity about the future delivery
of those services. I mentioned at | 1:52:56 | 1:52:59 | |
the beginning, Jim, about the fact
that this is a business with | 1:52:59 | 1:53:04 | |
tentacles and so many parts of our
lives. Can you just explain a bit | 1:53:04 | 1:53:07 | |
about what types of jobs those
20,000 jobs are? They are right | 1:53:07 | 1:53:11 | |
across the public sector. They
include the maintenance of MoD | 1:53:11 | 1:53:17 | |
properties, they are dinner staff at
schools, delivering meals in the | 1:53:17 | 1:53:21 | |
NHS, and indeed delivering services
in local government. So across the | 1:53:21 | 1:53:25 | |
whole of the public sector,
Carillion has what you term its | 1:53:25 | 1:53:30 | |
tentacles involved in this, and it
is quite worrying, of course, that | 1:53:30 | 1:53:33 | |
despite repeated profit warnings,
the government still awarded a | 1:53:33 | 1:53:38 | |
public sector contract, and MoD
contract, in excess of £150 million, | 1:53:38 | 1:53:47 | |
after the profit warnings, and
indeed after the profit warnings, | 1:53:47 | 1:53:50 | |
the £1.4 billion contract for HS2.
Just looking at some of this, | 1:53:50 | 1:53:57 | |
obviously you mentioned there about
all the different kinds of jobs, and | 1:53:57 | 1:54:01 | |
we found out this morning from the
statement that there will be funding | 1:54:01 | 1:54:05 | |
provided to keep the NHS, prisons,
and everything going today. So it is | 1:54:05 | 1:54:09 | |
not a case of those jobs have gone.
Those people will still be getting | 1:54:09 | 1:54:13 | |
paid, those jobs and services will
still be provided. You are right, | 1:54:13 | 1:54:18 | |
but a two line statement does not
allay the concerns of the workforce. | 1:54:18 | 1:54:22 | |
What we would like to see, I mean,
these services are public services, | 1:54:22 | 1:54:26 | |
and we would like to see those
services brought in-house, so the | 1:54:26 | 1:54:30 | |
profit imperative is taken away from
the delivery of public services. The | 1:54:30 | 1:54:34 | |
profit imperative that has
spectacularly failed in the case of | 1:54:34 | 1:54:38 | |
Carillion. So what happens next?
Well, we wait for some statements | 1:54:38 | 1:54:44 | |
from government around assurances on
jobs and pensions, et cetera, and | 1:54:44 | 1:54:49 | |
indeed the future delivery of those
contract. I mean, this statement | 1:54:49 | 1:54:52 | |
came out about an hour ago. We are
in unknown territory. Previously, | 1:54:52 | 1:54:57 | |
when other companies have gone bust,
there has been other private-sector | 1:54:57 | 1:55:00 | |
contracts, contractors, pick up the
profitable parts of those contract, | 1:55:00 | 1:55:07 | |
and the nonprofitable parts have
remained in the public sector. Now, | 1:55:07 | 1:55:11 | |
that can't happen again. Thank you
very much for your time this | 1:55:11 | 1:55:15 | |
morning. That is Jim Kennedy from
The Unite union, talking about the | 1:55:15 | 1:55:20 | |
20,000 people who work for Carillion
in the UK. And I know so many people | 1:55:20 | 1:55:26 | |
this morning will be really
concerned about that, so we will | 1:55:26 | 1:55:30 | |
continue talking about this story,
and we are trying to get hold of | 1:55:30 | 1:55:34 | |
somebody from the government,
essentially, as so many questions | 1:55:34 | 1:55:37 | |
have been raised there. So many will
want answers, especially if you work | 1:55:37 | 1:55:41 | |
for Carillion or in one of the
supply chains, as well. We will try | 1:55:41 | 1:55:45 | |
and get some of the answers for you
in the next hour. We will continue | 1:55:45 | 1:55:56 | |
to interview Henry Bolton, the
leader of UKIP, who wants to | 1:55:56 | 1:56:01 | |
continue as you letter. And as well,
at the completely other end of the | 1:56:01 | 1:56:04 | |
scale, which is what we like to do
on BBC Breakfast, we have Andrew | 1:56:04 | 1:56:08 | |
Flintoff, Robbie Savage and the
third member of their award-winning | 1:56:08 | 1:56:16 | |
pod cast. | 1:56:16 | 1:56:22 | |
pod cast. Flintoff, Savage, and the
Ping-pong Guy. And Carol's dig | 1:56:22 | 1:56:31 | |
secret revealed, coming up very
shortly. | 1:56:31 | 1:56:41 | |
shortly. I | 1:56:41 | 2:00:00 | |
shortly. I | 2:00:00 | 2:00:04 | |
There is more on the UKIP row with
Vanessa Feltz. I will be back with | 2:00:04 | 2:00:10 | |
more in half an hour. Goodbye. | 2:00:10 | 2:00:12 | |
Hello. | 2:00:27 | 2:00:28 | |
This is Breakfast. | 2:00:28 | 2:00:29 | |
With Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. | 2:00:29 | 2:00:31 | |
Construction giant Carillion has
gone into liquidation. | 2:00:31 | 2:00:33 | |
The firm runs 900 schools,
highways and prisons. | 2:00:33 | 2:00:35 | |
Critics say the Government ignored
warnings about the company's | 2:00:35 | 2:00:37 | |
financial problems. | 2:00:37 | 2:00:45 | |
I'll be looking at what it
means for the 20,000 UK | 2:00:45 | 2:00:47 | |
workers, and for government
projects like HS2. | 2:00:47 | 2:00:55 | |
Good morning. | 2:01:04 | 2:01:05 | |
It's Monday, 15th January. | 2:01:05 | 2:01:06 | |
Also this morning: | 2:01:06 | 2:01:12 | |
Ukip leader Henry Bolton tells
Breakfast he won't quit, | 2:01:12 | 2:01:14 | |
after his girlfriend made racist
remarks about Meghan Markle. | 2:01:14 | 2:01:21 | |
Together, we have made the decision
that the romantic element of our | 2:01:21 | 2:01:25 | |
relationship should end. She is
utterly distraught. Close to | 2:01:25 | 2:01:30 | |
breakdown of all this. | 2:01:30 | 2:01:33 | |
We'll be live inside the world's
largest refugee camp, in Bangladesh, | 2:01:33 | 2:01:36 | |
where hundreds of thousands
of Rohingya refugees have fled | 2:01:36 | 2:01:38 | |
violence in Myanmar. | 2:01:38 | 2:01:41 | |
Good morning. | 2:01:41 | 2:01:41 | |
Good morning. | 2:01:41 | 2:01:45 | |
In Sport: It's Giggs for Wales. | 2:01:45 | 2:01:46 | |
The Manchester United legend will be
named the new national coach later, | 2:01:46 | 2:01:49 | |
replacing Chris Coleman. | 2:01:49 | 2:01:50 | |
And Carol has the weather. | 2:01:50 | 2:01:53 | |
And something else, good morning.
Good morning from bang bang. Look at | 2:01:53 | 2:01:59 | |
this fabulous car! This morning,
Chris Evans is launching 500 Words, | 2:01:59 | 2:02:07 | |
a writing competition for children
between five and 13 and part of the | 2:02:07 | 2:02:12 | |
prize, the first prize, is a little
ride in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. | 2:02:12 | 2:02:19 | |
Let's hope the weather is better
then, today it is at rainy and | 2:02:19 | 2:02:24 | |
windy, clearing from the South East
followed by a what blustery showers. | 2:02:24 | 2:02:30 | |
More from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang
and the weather later. | 2:02:30 | 2:02:34 | |
Excellent, Carol! Thank you! What a
wagon! I enjoyed that. Good morning. | 2:02:34 | 2:02:40 | |
First, our main story. | 2:02:40 | 2:02:41 | |
Last-bid talks to secure a rescue
package for construction firm | 2:02:41 | 2:02:43 | |
Carillion have failed,
and it's been announced the company | 2:02:43 | 2:02:45 | |
is entering liquidation. | 2:02:45 | 2:02:47 | |
Carillion - which is involved
in projects including HS2 - | 2:02:47 | 2:02:52 | |
employed 40,000 workers,
including 20,000 in the UK. | 2:02:52 | 2:02:54 | |
Steph's here with more. | 2:02:54 | 2:03:01 | |
This is a really significant story. | 2:03:01 | 2:03:05 | |
How did Carillion get
into this situation? | 2:03:05 | 2:03:10 | |
A huge company that has run out of
money. They cannot pay back the | 2:03:10 | 2:03:14 | |
money they owe money to and so the
banks, who are angry about this, and | 2:03:14 | 2:03:19 | |
they're supplying companies and
other people they owe money to, that | 2:03:19 | 2:03:21 | |
has got to a point where they have
been forced into compulsory | 2:03:21 | 2:03:27 | |
liquidation. That means now a
company, an accountancy firm called | 2:03:27 | 2:03:33 | |
PWC will take over the company and
sell off assets to try and make | 2:03:33 | 2:03:37 | |
money back to pay off those people
who have borrowed money. The 20,000 | 2:03:37 | 2:03:43 | |
people who work there in UK, we do
not know as yet. We were talking to | 2:03:43 | 2:03:48 | |
the union and they have not been
told anything. This is a company who | 2:03:48 | 2:03:53 | |
has its tentacles in so many parts
of our lives. They run school | 2:03:53 | 2:03:58 | |
dinners, they build huge hospitals,
they are involved in the roads and | 2:03:58 | 2:04:03 | |
railways. Sub various people
involved in different areas of our | 2:04:03 | 2:04:06 | |
lives have said, don't worry, the
trains will run. Network Rail have | 2:04:06 | 2:04:10 | |
said, whatever their involvement
with us, things will be fine on the | 2:04:10 | 2:04:13 | |
trains. The Government have said
this morning, they will make sure | 2:04:13 | 2:04:18 | |
our public services are still
funded. It is not like we certainly | 2:04:18 | 2:04:21 | |
will not have children being fed at
school. The idea is to run the buses | 2:04:21 | 2:04:30 | |
-- the business but to sell off the
assets and the background to get | 2:04:30 | 2:04:32 | |
this money back. It is so
complicated because it is the second | 2:04:32 | 2:04:36 | |
biggest construction firm in the UK,
involved in prisons, hospitals, | 2:04:36 | 2:04:40 | |
roads, railways, it touches so many
parts of people's lives and this is | 2:04:40 | 2:04:45 | |
why there is concern, what does it
mean for the suppliers as well? That | 2:04:45 | 2:04:49 | |
is what has been called into
question this morning. Thanks for | 2:04:49 | 2:04:52 | |
the moment. Plenty of questions
about that. | 2:04:52 | 2:04:56 | |
Our political correspondent,
Iain Watson, has been following | 2:04:56 | 2:04:57 | |
developments from Westminster. | 2:04:57 | 2:04:59 | |
What's the political
significance of this, Iain? | 2:04:59 | 2:05:04 | |
In one of the papers over the
weekend, it said that Carillion | 2:05:04 | 2:05:08 | |
almost runs the UK, big political
significance, the story. Absolutely. | 2:05:08 | 2:05:15 | |
The second biggest construction
company in Britain, so many | 2:05:15 | 2:05:19 | |
employees directly employed and so
many others directly employed and | 2:05:19 | 2:05:24 | |
depended on contracts. They manage
and maintain so many public | 2:05:24 | 2:05:27 | |
services. The Government is likely
to make a formal statement but over | 2:05:27 | 2:05:33 | |
the weekend, talks were going on in
Whitehall to try to avert compulsory | 2:05:33 | 2:05:37 | |
liquidation. But those talks have
failed, it has happened. Now we are | 2:05:37 | 2:05:41 | |
into a political blame game. Labour
have said, why was it the Government | 2:05:41 | 2:05:46 | |
awarded three contracts worth nearly
£2 billion after the company had | 2:05:46 | 2:05:51 | |
issued a profits warning? A signal
that things were potentially going | 2:05:51 | 2:05:54 | |
wrong. The share price had
plummeted. Get the comment was still | 2:05:54 | 2:05:58 | |
awarding contracts. They want an
investigation into that. And when it | 2:05:58 | 2:06:02 | |
comes to this question of selling
off assets, as far as the public | 2:06:02 | 2:06:06 | |
service contracts are concerned,
this company has such a big | 2:06:06 | 2:06:09 | |
footprint, a lot of activity in the
private sector. Some contracts were | 2:06:09 | 2:06:15 | |
profitable and some not profitable
and they want the Government to take | 2:06:15 | 2:06:18 | |
over all those contracts and not
simply to bail the company out for | 2:06:18 | 2:06:22 | |
the unprofitable work. So demands
from the opposition and likely to be | 2:06:22 | 2:06:26 | |
a cross-party investigation and the
Conservative chairman of the public | 2:06:26 | 2:06:31 | |
administration committee. And just
to give you an idea of how this is | 2:06:31 | 2:06:34 | |
going to go for the rest of the day,
within minutes of the announcement, | 2:06:34 | 2:06:38 | |
the pro-EU group Open Britain were
labouring Brexit for the collapse of | 2:06:38 | 2:06:45 | |
Carillion. So a lot of people out to
ascribe reasons for this collapse | 2:06:45 | 2:06:50 | |
all the blame those in charge of the
company or to blame the Government | 2:06:50 | 2:06:53 | |
for not getting involved earlier
with Carillion when it went into | 2:06:53 | 2:06:58 | |
difficulties. We expect a statement
from the Government in the House of | 2:06:58 | 2:07:02 | |
Commons later today, but expect a
lot of criticism as well. We will | 2:07:02 | 2:07:06 | |
follow that and hopefully speak to
David Lidington later from the | 2:07:06 | 2:07:09 | |
Cabinet Office about that. Also this
morning. | 2:07:09 | 2:07:13 | |
And we've also been hearing
from the leader of Ukip - | 2:07:13 | 2:07:15 | |
Henry Bolton - this morning. | 2:07:15 | 2:07:19 | |
Speculation over his future in his
job after unsavoury things his | 2:07:19 | 2:07:26 | |
girlfriend Jo Marney said. He said
he wouldn't that relationship with | 2:07:26 | 2:07:32 | |
Jo Marney was desperate to stay as
leader. Yes, if Ukip was a company | 2:07:32 | 2:07:36 | |
like Carillion, you would have seen
its share price plummeting, it lost | 2:07:36 | 2:07:40 | |
a lot of voters in the 2017 election
and it has had four said that | 2:07:40 | 2:07:46 | |
leaders since the EU referendum.
What Henry Bolton was supposed to do | 2:07:46 | 2:07:49 | |
was to get the party back on track
and to take the fight over Brexit to | 2:07:49 | 2:07:54 | |
the government but his personal life
is all over the papers because of | 2:07:54 | 2:07:57 | |
comments by his now ex-girlfriend Jo
Marney. To remind you, she made | 2:07:57 | 2:08:03 | |
comments regarded as racist,
including suggesting that Meghan | 2:08:03 | 2:08:07 | |
Markle might taint the Royal Family.
She has since apologised and said | 2:08:07 | 2:08:11 | |
those comments were taken out of
context. Many people in Ukip felt | 2:08:11 | 2:08:16 | |
Henry Bolton had to make a choice
between his job as leader and his | 2:08:16 | 2:08:19 | |
girlfriend and he made that was very
clear early on this programme. | 2:08:19 | 2:08:23 | |
Together, we have made this decision
that the romantic element of our | 2:08:23 | 2:08:28 | |
relationship should end. She is
utterly distraught, close to | 2:08:28 | 2:08:34 | |
breakdown of all this. She never
intended these comments to be made | 2:08:34 | 2:08:37 | |
public. They were made some time
ago. And indeed, although utterly | 2:08:37 | 2:08:44 | |
indefensible, there is some context
to them which, in time, will be | 2:08:44 | 2:08:48 | |
revealed. But the fact is that I am
going to be supporting her family | 2:08:48 | 2:08:58 | |
and supporting her in rebuilding her
life, going forward. The question is | 2:08:58 | 2:09:02 | |
whether Henry Bolton can rebuild his
leadership. He has certainly | 2:09:02 | 2:09:06 | |
distanced himself from his
girlfriend Jo Marney and he has said | 2:09:06 | 2:09:09 | |
these comments were indefensible.
But that senior figures in Ukip | 2:09:09 | 2:09:15 | |
including MEPs and a couple of
people who contested the leadership | 2:09:15 | 2:09:19 | |
in the past who think this is a huge
distraction and they want to see a | 2:09:19 | 2:09:23 | |
fresh start. Thank you very much.
Really interesting to talk to any | 2:09:23 | 2:09:26 | |
number of issues. Some sad news now.
Cyrille Regis, former West Bromwich | 2:09:26 | 2:09:35 | |
and England forward has died at the
age of 59, such a big name to so | 2:09:35 | 2:09:42 | |
many football fans, a big hero at
West Bromwich and Coventry and a | 2:09:42 | 2:09:46 | |
pioneer for black players, appointed
MBE in 2008. We will get more detail | 2:09:46 | 2:09:53 | |
on that, but sorry to bring you
that, news that Cyrille Regis has | 2:09:53 | 2:09:57 | |
passed away at the news of -- at the
age of 59. We will talk more about | 2:09:57 | 2:10:05 | |
that later. | 2:10:05 | 2:10:06 | |
President Trump has denied
being a racist, as a row continues | 2:10:06 | 2:10:09 | |
over offensive language he allegedly
used to describe immigrants | 2:10:09 | 2:10:11 | |
from Haiti and Africa. | 2:10:11 | 2:10:15 | |
He is accused of using a particular
word during a private meeting | 2:10:15 | 2:10:18 | |
on immigration in the White House. | 2:10:18 | 2:10:19 | |
In his first direct response
to accusations of racism, | 2:10:19 | 2:10:22 | |
Donald Trump told reporters he had
not made the comments. | 2:10:22 | 2:10:25 | |
You might have seen these pictures. | 2:10:40 | 2:10:45 | |
If you have a fear of flying,
you might want to look away now. | 2:10:45 | 2:10:48 | |
These are the incredible pictures
of the aftermath of an incident | 2:10:48 | 2:10:51 | |
at an airport in Turkey. | 2:10:51 | 2:10:52 | |
Pegasus Airlines Boeing 7-3-7
lost control, before | 2:10:52 | 2:10:54 | |
skidding off the runway,
plunging over a cliff and coming | 2:10:54 | 2:10:56 | |
to rest just before hitting the sea. | 2:10:56 | 2:11:04 | |
SHOUTING. | 2:11:04 | 2:11:08 | |
This was the reaction
of passengers inside the plane. | 2:11:08 | 2:11:11 | |
Incredibly, all of the 168
passengers and crew | 2:11:11 | 2:11:12 | |
escaped without injury. | 2:11:12 | 2:11:17 | |
But I am not sure they will forget
that in a hurry. It is awful to | 2:11:17 | 2:11:21 | |
think what would be going through
your mind. | 2:11:21 | 2:11:24 | |
116 people on board and everybody
got off the plane without injury, | 2:11:24 | 2:11:27 | |
amazing. | 2:11:27 | 2:11:29 | |
The UKIP leader, Henry Bolton,
is facing growing pressure to resign | 2:11:29 | 2:11:32 | |
"quickly and quietly". | 2:11:32 | 2:11:37 | |
It's after his girlfriend
was suspended from the party | 2:11:37 | 2:11:39 | |
for making offensive comments,
including racist remarks | 2:11:39 | 2:11:41 | |
about Prince Harry's
fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 2:11:41 | 2:11:46 | |
Earlier, he said he was putting his
party ahead of his relationship. We | 2:11:46 | 2:11:51 | |
have together made the decision that
the romantic element of our | 2:11:51 | 2:11:53 | |
relationship should end. She is
utterly distraught, close to | 2:11:53 | 2:12:01 | |
breakdown of or all of this. She
never intended these comments to | 2:12:01 | 2:12:04 | |
ever be made public. They were made
some time ago. And indeed, although | 2:12:04 | 2:12:08 | |
the week didn't -- indefensible,
there is some context to them which | 2:12:08 | 2:12:17 | |
in time will be revealed -- although
utterly indefensible. But the fact | 2:12:17 | 2:12:21 | |
is that I am going to be supporting
her family and supporting her in | 2:12:21 | 2:12:26 | |
rebuilding her life, going forward.
You say they were indefensible and | 2:12:26 | 2:12:29 | |
you talk about the context, why can
you not explain the context now? To | 2:12:29 | 2:12:33 | |
remind people, she was talking about
the fact Meghan Markle could taint | 2:12:33 | 2:12:38 | |
the Royal Family, she said she had a
tiny brain and she said this was | 2:12:38 | 2:12:42 | |
Britain and not Africa. What is the
context around those comments? In | 2:12:42 | 2:12:46 | |
that particular case, there is no
context that defends or justifies | 2:12:46 | 2:12:52 | |
the comments that were made. I was
as appalled and shocked when I saw | 2:12:52 | 2:12:57 | |
them first. Some of the other, she
has made the do have a contract cost | 2:12:57 | 2:13:05 | |
just a context and there are
elements of that that, at the | 2:13:05 | 2:13:09 | |
appropriate time, we will explain
what they are. X -- I understand | 2:13:09 | 2:13:15 | |
this has been a difficult decision
and you have discussed this with her | 2:13:15 | 2:13:18 | |
over the weekend, do you think this
saves short position as party | 2:13:18 | 2:13:23 | |
leader, what work you have to do
now? The important work now is | 2:13:23 | 2:13:27 | |
ongoing and it is work that has
started, to create a solid, | 2:13:27 | 2:13:33 | |
administrative, financial,
logistical planning base for the | 2:13:33 | 2:13:36 | |
party. So we can project ourselves
going forward. I said the other day | 2:13:36 | 2:13:40 | |
that what we wanted to see was a
coming together of coordination of | 2:13:40 | 2:13:47 | |
the different Life campaigns and
immobilisation to make sure we do | 2:13:47 | 2:13:50 | |
get the Government delivering the
mandate and June 23rd 2016. That is | 2:13:50 | 2:13:56 | |
the task. The problem is, Mr Bolton,
it is hard for people to think about | 2:13:56 | 2:14:02 | |
policy because the headlines have
been dominated by what has been | 2:14:02 | 2:14:04 | |
happening to you. In terms of your
future as party leader, you run a | 2:14:04 | 2:14:09 | |
campaign to beat Ukip party leader
based on you being a happily married | 2:14:09 | 2:14:13 | |
man. I dispute that. I was married
and I still unmarried. You did make | 2:14:13 | 2:14:20 | |
that part of your campaign. You
enter that relationship with your | 2:14:20 | 2:14:23 | |
wife. Did you not use the fact you
were married as part of that | 2:14:23 | 2:14:28 | |
campaign? Are you denying that? I
was asked whether I was married and | 2:14:28 | 2:14:32 | |
whether I had children and the
answer was yes, I did not make a big | 2:14:32 | 2:14:35 | |
issue of it. The fact is I was
married, I am still married. There | 2:14:35 | 2:14:40 | |
are things of my personal life now
and there have been since before | 2:14:40 | 2:14:43 | |
Christmas that need to be, I need to
address. But I did not make that a | 2:14:43 | 2:14:49 | |
central plank in any way of my
campaign. My campaign was about | 2:14:49 | 2:14:54 | |
getting the party on its feet,
sorting out its internal | 2:14:54 | 2:14:58 | |
organisation, so that we can deliver
effective politics. That is what I | 2:14:58 | 2:15:03 | |
was consistently saying. Can you
understand why people would look at | 2:15:03 | 2:15:05 | |
you this morning and over the
weekend and question your trust and | 2:15:05 | 2:15:10 | |
judgment? Not just people who voted
Ukip in the past and he might | 2:15:10 | 2:15:13 | |
consider it in the future, people
within your own party. | 2:15:13 | 2:15:21 | |
Ben Walker says you must go. Suzanne
Evans says scandal after scandal | 2:15:21 | 2:15:29 | |
with you at the leadership and Bill
eth ridge says "Go quietly and leave | 2:15:29 | 2:15:36 | |
us to deal with what's left. He
calls you a political lightweight." | 2:15:36 | 2:15:41 | |
These are people within your party?
Two of the names were part of the | 2:15:41 | 2:15:46 | |
leadership contest and still have
aspirations in that direction. I | 2:15:46 | 2:15:49 | |
would suggest that those two
individuals should start working | 2:15:49 | 2:15:55 | |
towards the betterment of the party
itself, working as part of team | 2:15:55 | 2:16:00 | |
rather than coming up with divisive
and self interested comments. The | 2:16:00 | 2:16:03 | |
point at the moment is that we've
got to work together. If we fail to | 2:16:03 | 2:16:07 | |
work together then indeed the party
will fail to go forward and right | 2:16:07 | 2:16:12 | |
from the beginning both those
individuals have been following | 2:16:12 | 2:16:16 | |
their own path.
That was an interview we did | 2:16:16 | 2:16:22 | |
earlier.
Shall we catch up with Carol. We | 2:16:22 | 2:16:30 | |
said she had a surprise. Explain
what's going on behind you. | 2:16:30 | 2:16:34 | |
said she had a surprise. Explain
what's going on behind you. | 2:16:34 | 2:16:39 | |
Well, this is chilly, chilly bang
bang. Chris Evans is launching a | 2:16:40 | 2:16:52 | |
writing competition. It is a
competition and one of prizes that | 2:16:52 | 2:16:55 | |
you will win is a spin in this car
at the Hampshire Court Festival in | 2:16:55 | 2:17:01 | |
June. So, lots of other prizes on
offer, we will talk about them as we | 2:17:01 | 2:17:05 | |
go through the morning. Let's hope
the weather is better than it is | 2:17:05 | 2:17:08 | |
today. The forecast today is a wet
one. We have got heavy rain pushing | 2:17:08 | 2:17:12 | |
away from the South East and for all
of us, we are looking at blustery | 2:17:12 | 2:17:16 | |
showers. So if you start the
forecast in Scotland this morning, | 2:17:16 | 2:17:20 | |
at 9am, there are some showers
around and some of those will be | 2:17:20 | 2:17:23 | |
wintry. At this stage mostly on the
hills. But what you will find later | 2:17:23 | 2:17:27 | |
is the snow will come down to sea
level, but the showers, so not all | 2:17:27 | 2:17:31 | |
of us seeing it. Across northern
England and into the Midlands, again | 2:17:31 | 2:17:35 | |
we've got showers. Some merging to
give lengthier spells of rain. The | 2:17:35 | 2:17:39 | |
heaviest rain is across the
south-eastern quarter of England and | 2:17:39 | 2:17:42 | |
here we have got gusty winds, that's
what will push away into the near | 2:17:42 | 2:17:47 | |
Continent and the North Sea as we go
through the morning. Southern | 2:17:47 | 2:17:51 | |
counties generally wet. In Plymouth
the temperature will be around 11 | 2:17:51 | 2:17:55 | |
Celsius. But it is wet across Wales
at the moment and it will remain so | 2:17:55 | 2:17:58 | |
as we go through the course of this
morning. For Northern Ireland, the | 2:17:58 | 2:18:03 | |
heaviest of rain has cleared you,
but behind we are looking at a | 2:18:03 | 2:18:06 | |
mixture of bright spells and sunny
spells and showers. Now we've | 2:18:06 | 2:18:10 | |
already got cold air across Scotland
and through the day that will sink | 2:18:10 | 2:18:14 | |
southwards. Some of us will see our
maximum temperatures this morning | 2:18:14 | 2:18:18 | |
with the temperature going down as
we go through the afternoon. That's | 2:18:18 | 2:18:21 | |
why increasingly we are looking at
the snow getting to lower levels | 2:18:21 | 2:18:24 | |
across parts of Scotland. Later, low
levels across parts of Northern | 2:18:24 | 2:18:27 | |
Ireland. The rain clears away from
the South East, leaving blustery | 2:18:27 | 2:18:32 | |
showers behind and again, some of
those may well have hail embedded in | 2:18:32 | 2:18:37 | |
them too. As we head on through the
evening and overnight, increasingly | 2:18:37 | 2:18:41 | |
as it gets colder, the snow will
come down to lower levels, not just | 2:18:41 | 2:18:44 | |
in Scotland and Northern Ireland,
but northern England too. Any snow | 2:18:44 | 2:18:48 | |
in south and South Wales and the
moors and the south-west of England | 2:18:48 | 2:18:51 | |
will be on the hills, but again, you
could see hail in there. And | 2:18:51 | 2:18:54 | |
temperatures, well, cold in the
north, temperatures freezing or | 2:18:54 | 2:18:57 | |
below, a little bit higher than that
as we come further south, but it | 2:18:57 | 2:19:01 | |
will feel cold. So there is the risk
of again ice on untreated surfaces. | 2:19:01 | 2:19:06 | |
Tomorrow, we will be starting to see
the snow April cumulate across | 2:19:06 | 2:19:10 | |
Scotland in particular and then
Northern Ireland and then northern | 2:19:10 | 2:19:13 | |
England. We could have between zero
and three centimetres across | 2:19:13 | 2:19:17 | |
northern England for example and
tomorrow we could see wintry showers | 2:19:17 | 2:19:21 | |
anywhere elsewhere, but what you
will find is the wintry flavour will | 2:19:21 | 2:19:24 | |
tend to be on the hills, but you
could see some hail and thunder and | 2:19:24 | 2:19:28 | |
lightening. Temperature wise, cold
in the north and the colder air | 2:19:28 | 2:19:32 | |
filtering further south. It is the
very far south that hangs into the | 2:19:32 | 2:19:36 | |
higher temperatures. As we move into
Wednesday, well a lot of dry | 2:19:36 | 2:19:40 | |
weather, but we have an area of low
pressure coming in from the west | 2:19:40 | 2:19:43 | |
which at the moment looks like it
will bring snow to the north of the | 2:19:43 | 2:19:48 | |
country, but strong winds,
positively disruptive winds across | 2:19:48 | 2:19:52 | |
the west and the south. So keep in
touch with the weather forecast, Dan | 2:19:52 | 2:19:56 | |
and Lou. Oh, well, indeed. You
talked about the 500 word | 2:19:56 | 2:20:00 | |
competition. We're talking about
that later as well. Carol, thank you | 2:20:00 | 2:20:04 | |
very much indeed. | 2:20:04 | 2:20:06 | |
It is one of my favourite films. I
loved it! It is that machine that he | 2:20:08 | 2:20:14 | |
makes that makes breakfast that
cracks the eggs and all that. | 2:20:14 | 2:20:22 | |
cracks the eggs and all that. Your
children can't enter as you work for | 2:20:22 | 2:20:24 | |
the BBC. | 2:20:24 | 2:20:26 | |
Let's return to our top story
and news that one of Britain's | 2:20:26 | 2:20:29 | |
biggest construction firms
is going into liquidation. | 2:20:29 | 2:20:32 | |
Steph has been bringing us the
details about the size of Carillion, | 2:20:32 | 2:20:36 | |
I suppose when they're involved in
so much of the infrastructure in the | 2:20:36 | 2:20:41 | |
UK, it is those other businesses
that this will impact on as well? | 2:20:41 | 2:20:44 | |
That's right. It is a company which
has its tentacles in so many | 2:20:44 | 2:20:48 | |
different parts of our lives that
there is lots of other businesses | 2:20:48 | 2:20:51 | |
that rely on Carillion as well and
that's what we want to look at now. | 2:20:51 | 2:20:54 | |
We are trying to look at every part
of this. Good morning to you. This | 2:20:54 | 2:20:58 | |
is a huge company. Working on
billions of pounds worth of public | 2:20:58 | 2:21:03 | |
sector contracts in our hospitals,
schools, prisons, roads and | 2:21:03 | 2:21:06 | |
railways. | 2:21:06 | 2:21:11 | |
PWC will look to sell off the assets
to pay off the people that Carillion | 2:21:11 | 2:21:15 | |
owes money to because it is in a lot
of debt and including to its | 2:21:15 | 2:21:20 | |
suppliers as well. Now, the Chief
Executive of the specialist | 2:21:20 | 2:21:26 | |
engineering contractors group. They
represent many suppliers who work | 2:21:26 | 2:21:32 | |
for Carillion. Can you explain how
it works with suppliers and | 2:21:32 | 2:21:35 | |
Carillion? Well, yes, every time you
look at construction sites, you see | 2:21:35 | 2:21:43 | |
the name of Carillion plastered
everywhere. The trouble is that they | 2:21:43 | 2:21:49 | |
outsourced all their work. They did
very little of the work. I think | 2:21:49 | 2:21:53 | |
that the general public didn't
really understand this. So we have a | 2:21:53 | 2:21:58 | |
situation where all the work is done
by suppliers and unfortunately as | 2:21:58 | 2:22:05 | |
far as my sector is concerned which
is the specialist engineering sector | 2:22:05 | 2:22:08 | |
they are going to be owed lots and
lots of money by Carillion because | 2:22:08 | 2:22:12 | |
of the work that they've done over
the past few months and possibly | 2:22:12 | 2:22:16 | |
years. So are they worried? Are your
suppliers worried? Yes, I mean, they | 2:22:16 | 2:22:22 | |
are extremely worried. I mean, we're
quite annoyed actually at the fact | 2:22:22 | 2:22:28 | |
that the Government has effectively
appointed even over the last six | 2:22:28 | 2:22:33 | |
months a company that has really no
assets to carry out millions of | 2:22:33 | 2:22:38 | |
pounds worth of work knowing full
well, of course, that work is to be | 2:22:38 | 2:22:42 | |
done by the supply chain and it is
the supply chain who is going to | 2:22:42 | 2:22:50 | |
have to bear this massive loss and
the question is to what extent can | 2:22:50 | 2:22:55 | |
they bear the loss and the worry is
that a lot of firms in the supply | 2:22:55 | 2:22:58 | |
chain could end up going to
insolvency themselves. So do you | 2:22:58 | 2:23:02 | |
think the suppliers could collapse
as a result of this? Oh yes. It's | 2:23:02 | 2:23:06 | |
hard to say at this stage how many.
We're going to have to look into the | 2:23:06 | 2:23:12 | |
extent of exposure of these firms
this week. But there could be a | 2:23:12 | 2:23:18 | |
large number of firms seriously
affected, if not going into | 2:23:18 | 2:23:23 | |
insolvency, but experience
substantial financial distress. | 2:23:23 | 2:23:26 | |
Rudi, thank you very much for your
time. I appreciate it is a quickly | 2:23:26 | 2:23:30 | |
moving story, but that's it from me,
for now, thanks. Thank you very | 2:23:30 | 2:23:33 | |
much, Steph. We will be continuing
to talk about it here on Breakfast | 2:23:33 | 2:23:36 | |
as well. Thank you. | 2:23:36 | 2:23:46 | |
What can be done to stop sexual
harassment in public places? | 2:23:48 | 2:23:55 | |
We're joined now by Eliza Hatch,
a photographer who has | 2:23:55 | 2:23:58 | |
worked with abuse victims. | 2:23:58 | 2:24:00 | |
You started a project on this
particularly. Why did you want to | 2:24:00 | 2:24:04 | |
start looking at this? I started
Cheer Up Love a year ago and it is a | 2:24:04 | 2:24:15 | |
project that retells women's
accounts of street harassment. I | 2:24:15 | 2:24:20 | |
publish the stories for everyone to
see. And it is called Cheer Up Love | 2:24:20 | 2:24:24 | |
because? It is a common phrase that
I've had experience with in my life. | 2:24:24 | 2:24:30 | |
I have had it many time and it
doesn't get any less annoying the | 2:24:30 | 2:24:35 | |
more you hear it. A man walked past
me and told me to cheer up and it | 2:24:35 | 2:24:40 | |
was a year ago and for some reason I
couldn't let it go and I wanted to | 2:24:40 | 2:24:44 | |
challenge that. You talked, didn't
you, to your friends and both male | 2:24:44 | 2:24:50 | |
and female and what was their
reaction when you started discussing | 2:24:50 | 2:24:52 | |
this? I started this project like I
didn't know the reaction I would | 2:24:52 | 2:24:56 | |
get. I didn't know if this was
something that happened outside my | 2:24:56 | 2:25:00 | |
close group of friends and when I
started asking these questions and | 2:25:00 | 2:25:04 | |
asking do you experience sexual
harassment, I got two responses and | 2:25:04 | 2:25:09 | |
the first response was oh, yeah, of
course, which one of my ten stories | 2:25:09 | 2:25:12 | |
do you want? The other kind of
response was, "I don't think | 2:25:12 | 2:25:17 | |
anything that bad has ever happened
to me." That's when I had to be like | 2:25:17 | 2:25:21 | |
as anybody ever shouted something
from a moving vehicle at you or | 2:25:21 | 2:25:26 | |
given you an unwanted compliment or
made you feel uncomfortable? Then it | 2:25:26 | 2:25:31 | |
was, oh, of course, the floodgates
just opened. The women and | 2:25:31 | 2:25:36 | |
equalities committee are going to
look at this and they are asking for | 2:25:36 | 2:25:38 | |
evidence from women and you are
talking about evidence there. What | 2:25:38 | 2:25:40 | |
do you think can be done to change?
And just a comment like that, what | 2:25:40 | 2:25:45 | |
do you think needs to be done for
example? Well, it is really about | 2:25:45 | 2:25:50 | |
changing attitudes, I think, and
it's really about kind of continuing | 2:25:50 | 2:25:54 | |
to raise that awareness and
education at a younger age, this | 2:25:54 | 2:25:59 | |
being taught at school, you know,
this is not appropriate behaviour, | 2:25:59 | 2:26:02 | |
you know, you can't treat people
like this in public spaces. I know | 2:26:02 | 2:26:05 | |
for one when I was growing up, we
never had that education, we had | 2:26:05 | 2:26:10 | |
your basic sex education, but there
was never anything to do with like | 2:26:10 | 2:26:13 | |
harassment. So I think really, if
attitudes are to change that needs | 2:26:13 | 2:26:19 | |
to happen. We have got pictures of
some of you that contacted you that | 2:26:19 | 2:26:25 | |
you've taken. Have you had much
feedback from men as well? Yes. | 2:26:25 | 2:26:30 | |
Yeah, I was, I didn't really know
the kind of response that I would | 2:26:30 | 2:26:33 | |
get from men. I was expecting a
backlash, but the more positive | 2:26:33 | 2:26:39 | |
responses that I got were basically
I had fathers, e-mailing me | 2:26:39 | 2:26:44 | |
concerned for their daughters
shocked with no idea that this stuff | 2:26:44 | 2:26:47 | |
happened and I even had elderly men
get in touch with me, apologising | 2:26:47 | 2:26:51 | |
and saying, "I had no idea. I think
I was one of those perpetrators. I'm | 2:26:51 | 2:26:57 | |
sorry. Thank you for bringing light
to this." Thank you very much | 2:26:57 | 2:27:00 | |
indeed. I think that meeting with
the women and equalities committee | 2:27:00 | 2:27:03 | |
takes place in March and we'll
report on it going up to that and | 2:27:03 | 2:27:07 | |
after it as well. 5th March.
I am sure people can find out more | 2:27:07 | 2:27:15 | |
online. Yes, Instagram. | 2:27:15 | 2:27:18 | |
It's time to get the news,
travel and weather where you are. | 2:27:18 | 2:30:39 | |
Van is talking about that bus
announcement on her show. | 2:30:39 | 2:30:49 | |
Hello. You are watching with Dan and
Louise. Let us bring you up-to-date | 2:30:49 | 2:30:54 | |
with some of the main stories. | 2:30:54 | 2:30:56 | |
Let us bring you up-to-date
with some of the main stories. | 2:30:56 | 2:30:59 | |
One of Britain's biggest
construction companies, | 2:30:59 | 2:31:01 | |
Carillion, has been placed
into liquidation this morning. | 2:31:01 | 2:31:02 | |
Government officials had been
holding talks with the firm's | 2:31:02 | 2:31:05 | |
creditors throughout the weekend,
but appear to have been unable | 2:31:05 | 2:31:07 | |
to reach a rescue deal. | 2:31:07 | 2:31:08 | |
Carillion, which was involved
in many major contracts - | 2:31:08 | 2:31:10 | |
It's a sad day. Not the outcome that
workers here in Wolverhampton were | 2:31:33 | 2:31:38 | |
expecting. We have been trying to
speak to some of them but they | 2:31:38 | 2:31:42 | |
basically have been told not to
comment to the media, of course, | 2:31:42 | 2:31:47 | |
Carillion, the company quoted as the
organisation that effectively runs | 2:31:47 | 2:31:51 | |
Britain. They started out as a pure
construction firm, but have evolved | 2:31:51 | 2:31:57 | |
into a construction and services
company, they employ round 400 | 2:31:57 | 2:32:00 | |
people here, but as you said, 20,000
people across the UK, but another | 2:32:00 | 2:32:06 | |
20,000 people across the world, and,
we don't know what will happen to | 2:32:06 | 2:32:10 | |
those job, of course there are
questions about what happens to the | 2:32:10 | 2:32:14 | |
wider supply chain, contracting
firm, manufacturers who provide | 2:32:14 | 2:32:18 | |
materials for the constructing firms
and recruitment firms, who rely on a | 2:32:18 | 2:32:24 | |
lot of the work from Krill I don't
know appoint people, but a sad day | 2:32:24 | 2:32:30 | |
here, an sad day across the UK for
the construction industry. So many | 2:32:30 | 2:32:33 | |
questions we need answered at the
moment. | 2:32:33 | 2:32:36 | |
Ukip's under-fire leader has refused
to resign from his position, | 2:32:36 | 2:32:39 | |
but has this morning told Breakfast
he's no longer romantically involved | 2:32:39 | 2:32:41 | |
with his girlfriend -
after it emerged Jo Marney made | 2:32:41 | 2:32:44 | |
racist remarks about Prince Harry's
fiancee, Meghan Markle. | 2:32:44 | 2:32:46 | |
Several senior Ukip members have
called for Mr Bolton's | 2:32:46 | 2:32:48 | |
swift resignation. | 2:32:48 | 2:32:49 | |
But he told this programme his
leadership was needed | 2:32:49 | 2:32:51 | |
to hold the Government
to account on Brexit. | 2:32:51 | 2:32:58 | |
We've together made the decision
that the romantic element | 2:32:58 | 2:33:00 | |
of our relationship should end. | 2:33:00 | 2:33:02 | |
She is utterly distraught, close
to break down over all of this. | 2:33:02 | 2:33:09 | |
Se never intended these comments
to ever be made public, | 2:33:09 | 2:33:12 | |
they were made some time ago,
and indeed, although utterly | 2:33:12 | 2:33:15 | |
indefensible, there is some context
to them, which in time | 2:33:15 | 2:33:18 | |
will be revealed. | 2:33:18 | 2:33:19 | |
But the fact is that I'm going to be
supporting her family | 2:33:19 | 2:33:22 | |
and supporting her in rebuilding her
life, going forward. | 2:33:22 | 2:33:30 | |
Police in East Yorkshire believe
they've found the body of a man, | 2:33:46 | 2:33:49 | |
suspected of using a crossbow
to kill his neighbour. | 2:33:49 | 2:33:51 | |
Officers in Humberside began
searching for 56-year-old | 2:33:51 | 2:33:53 | |
Anthony Lawrence, following
the death of Shane Gilmer on Friday. | 2:33:53 | 2:33:55 | |
His pregnant girlfriend,
Laura Sugden, was also seriously | 2:33:55 | 2:33:57 | |
wounded in the attack. | 2:33:57 | 2:34:01 | |
A senior coroner will today
deliver his conclusions | 2:34:01 | 2:34:03 | |
at the second inquest into the death
of the toddler, Poppi Worthington. | 2:34:03 | 2:34:06 | |
The 13-month-old was found
with serious injuries | 2:34:06 | 2:34:07 | |
at her home in Cumbria in 2012. | 2:34:07 | 2:34:09 | |
The controversial first inquest
was quashed by the High Court | 2:34:09 | 2:34:12 | |
after it lasted just seven minutes
and was shrouded in secrecy. | 2:34:12 | 2:34:19 | |
Carillion appoint people, but a sad
day here, an sad day across the UK | 2:34:25 | 2:34:28 | |
for the construction industry. So
many questions we need answered at | 2:34:28 | 2:34:30 | |
the moment.
Coming up. Our reporters inside the | 2:34:30 | 2:34:34 | |
largest refugee camp. With the
launch of 500 words creative writing | 2:34:34 | 2:34:42 | |
competition, we will get tips on how
to spendisational short stories. | 2:34:42 | 2:34:50 | |
We will win in Adelaide and we will
get beat in pert and win in | 2:34:50 | 2:34:56 | |
Melbourne. When it comes to ashing
predictions they may no always be | 2:34:56 | 2:35:01 | |
right but they are not afraid to
voice their opinion. | 2:35:01 | 2:35:07 | |
Andrew Flintoff, Robbie Savage
and the Ping Pong guy, | 2:35:07 | 2:35:09 | |
Matthew Syed will be
here as their award-winning podcast | 2:35:09 | 2:35:11 | |
returns for a new series. | 2:35:11 | 2:35:14 | |
I amount sure with them we should
reflect on the sad news of the death | 2:35:14 | 2:35:23 | |
of Cyril Regis.
He was a pioneering figures one of | 2:35:23 | 2:35:31 | |
the first generation of black
footballers to kind of change the | 2:35:31 | 2:35:33 | |
face of game. We see players from
all minorities, from all walks of | 2:35:33 | 2:35:41 | |
life on the pitch these days and
Cyril Regis was one of the first, he | 2:35:41 | 2:35:46 | |
started playing in the '70s when the
attitude of fans and the game was | 2:35:46 | 2:35:51 | |
perhaps different. He received awful
abuse. He has to live there, play | 2:35:51 | 2:35:57 | |
through, you know him, you said...
He was on Football Focus regularly. | 2:35:57 | 2:36:03 | |
It came as a shock. He is is a nice
bloke. All the clubs he has played | 2:36:03 | 2:36:08 | |
for, he is considered a real hero.
People have so much affect hundred | 2:36:08 | 2:36:13 | |
for him. Many people will be
emotional at news that he has passed | 2:36:13 | 2:36:18 | |
away.
At such a young age. | 2:36:18 | 2:36:22 | |
The former England striker Cyrille
Regis has died at the age of 59. | 2:36:22 | 2:36:25 | |
It's understood he'd
suffered a heart attack. | 2:36:25 | 2:36:27 | |
Regis was most famous for playing
at West Bromwich Albion, | 2:36:27 | 2:36:29 | |
where he's considered a legend,
as well as Coventry and Aston Villa. | 2:36:29 | 2:36:32 | |
He was one of the first black
players to be capped by England. | 2:36:32 | 2:36:40 | |
Ryan Giggs is set to be named
as the manager of the Wales | 2:36:42 | 2:36:45 | |
national team today,
succeeding Chris Coleman. | 2:36:45 | 2:36:46 | |
Giggs' only managerial experience
so far was four games in charge | 2:36:46 | 2:36:49 | |
of Manchester United
when David Moyes was sacked in 2014. | 2:36:49 | 2:36:51 | |
Coleman stepped down in November,
after Wales failed to qualify | 2:36:51 | 2:36:54 | |
for this year's World Cup. | 2:36:54 | 2:37:01 | |
After 30 games and 281 days,
Manchester City's unbeaten | 2:37:01 | 2:37:04 | |
Premier League run is finally over. | 2:37:04 | 2:37:07 | |
They lost 4-3 to Liverpool,
in an incredible match at Anfield. | 2:37:07 | 2:37:10 | |
Liverpool scored three
goals in eight minutes, | 2:37:10 | 2:37:11 | |
to go 4-1 up in the second half. | 2:37:11 | 2:37:19 | |
City did fight back, but they
couldn't find an equaliser - | 2:37:20 | 2:37:23 | |
they are still 15 points clear
at the top of the table | 2:37:23 | 2:37:26 | |
but Liverpool are celebrating
a famous victory. | 2:37:26 | 2:37:29 | |
And - for the first time ever -
Bournemouth beat Arsenal, | 2:37:29 | 2:37:32 | |
coming from behind in front
of their home crowd to win 2-1, | 2:37:32 | 2:37:35 | |
thanks to Jordan Ibe. | 2:37:35 | 2:37:36 | |
His first goal for the club... | 2:37:36 | 2:37:37 | |
And what a time to score it. | 2:37:37 | 2:37:43 | |
Britain's Kyle Edmund has enjoyed
the biggest win of his career, | 2:37:43 | 2:37:46 | |
beating the 11th seed Kevin Anderson
in the first round of | 2:37:46 | 2:37:48 | |
the Australian Open. | 2:37:48 | 2:37:49 | |
He twice came from a set down
and was trailing 2-0 in the deciding | 2:37:49 | 2:37:53 | |
set before he took the match
and reached the second round in | 2:37:53 | 2:37:55 | |
Melbourne for only the second time. | 2:37:55 | 2:37:57 | |
He'll face Denis Istomin next. | 2:37:57 | 2:38:00 | |
And there were a couple of surprises
in the women's draw - | 2:38:00 | 2:38:03 | |
Venus Williams and the US Open
champion Sloane Stephens have | 2:38:03 | 2:38:06 | |
both been knocked out
in the opening round. | 2:38:06 | 2:38:13 | |
Billy Vunipola is set to miss
England's Six Nations campaign. | 2:38:16 | 2:38:19 | |
He broke his arm playing
for Saracens in their draw | 2:38:19 | 2:38:21 | |
with Ospreys over the weekend. | 2:38:21 | 2:38:22 | |
It was only his second game back
after a long lay-off | 2:38:22 | 2:38:25 | |
after a knee operation. | 2:38:25 | 2:38:31 | |
More bad luck I am afraid for Billy
Vunipola. He was one of the players | 2:38:31 | 2:38:36 | |
who spoke out about the risk that
rugby player put themselves at by | 2:38:36 | 2:38:45 | |
playing so hard, once again another
injury for poor old Billy. | 2:38:45 | 2:38:50 | |
A really big issue, he has been one
of the more outspoken players on the | 2:38:50 | 2:38:54 | |
issue. | 2:38:54 | 2:38:54 | |
issue. | 2:38:54 | 2:38:57 | |
Since August of last year,
more than half a million | 2:38:57 | 2:39:00 | |
Rohingya Muslims, have been forced
to flee violence and | 2:39:00 | 2:39:02 | |
persecution in Myanmar. | 2:39:02 | 2:39:03 | |
The United Nations has described
the military offensive that provoked | 2:39:03 | 2:39:05 | |
the exodus as a "textbook example
of ethnic cleansing". | 2:39:05 | 2:39:07 | |
Many have sought refuge
in neighbouring Bangladesh, | 2:39:07 | 2:39:09 | |
in what has become the world's
largest refugee camp. | 2:39:09 | 2:39:11 | |
Our South Asia Correspondent,
Justin Rowlatt, is there | 2:39:11 | 2:39:13 | |
Our South Asia correspondent,
Justin Rowlatt, is there | 2:39:13 | 2:39:15 | |
for us this morning. | 2:39:15 | 2:39:24 | |
Good morning to you. We are right in
the middle of this huge camp. There | 2:39:25 | 2:39:35 | |
is 850,000 refugees roughly in the
south-east corner of Bangladesh, we | 2:39:35 | 2:39:38 | |
are in the middle of the largest
camp. There was about 650,000 people | 2:39:38 | 2:39:44 | |
here. I am joined by Tony Stewart of
the World Health Organisation. It is | 2:39:44 | 2:39:48 | |
your job to manage health within the
camp. This is fairly typical. It is | 2:39:48 | 2:39:53 | |
a nice bit of refugee camp but this
is fairly typical. Take a look at | 2:39:53 | 2:39:56 | |
this and tell us what risks can you
as an expert see a looking at the | 2:39:56 | 2:40:01 | |
camp. You can see there are open
drains, that will be a problem when | 2:40:01 | 2:40:06 | |
the wet season comes along, in a
couple of months, we have to be | 2:40:06 | 2:40:12 | |
prepared for that, the other is
mosquito borne diseases, the risk of | 2:40:12 | 2:40:19 | |
things like malaria Kevin lie tips,
that is high. We are preparing for | 2:40:19 | 2:40:23 | |
the problems but we need to stop the
outbreaks before they start. That is | 2:40:23 | 2:40:26 | |
a menu of illness you have listed
there. But the rains begin soon, | 2:40:26 | 2:40:32 | |
they begin in April. More, twice as
much rain in April than in the | 2:40:32 | 2:40:37 | |
rainiest month in Britain. It only
gets wetter after that. That is a | 2:40:37 | 2:40:41 | |
huge challenge here isn't it. It is
enormous, it is one of the things we | 2:40:41 | 2:40:45 | |
are most worry about. The risk of
waterborne diseases are enormous, we | 2:40:45 | 2:40:52 | |
have got programmes in place for
vaccination to presoent of these | 2:40:52 | 2:40:57 | |
thing, that we will focus on those
most. One of the things that struck | 2:40:57 | 2:41:00 | |
me, I was here at the beginning of
September when the crisis begun, is | 2:41:00 | 2:41:06 | |
how resilient, how strong the people
have been. | 2:41:06 | 2:41:08 | |
how resilient, how strong the people
have been. They have built these | 2:41:08 | 2:41:11 | |
community, it may look like shacks
but they are sturdy construction, | 2:41:11 | 2:41:14 | |
how do you feel, you have worked
with the people. How strong are | 2:41:14 | 2:41:18 | |
they? How well have they responded
to this. They are very resilient, | 2:41:18 | 2:41:25 | |
that is something we need to lean
upon because community based | 2:41:25 | 2:41:30 | |
programmes looking for new cases of
disease and to work for getting out | 2:41:30 | 2:41:34 | |
health care messages will be crucial
to this. The Government's been | 2:41:34 | 2:41:38 | |
supportive, we are working with
Government and partners to role roll | 2:41:38 | 2:41:43 | |
these programmes out and we will
lean heavily on the community worker | 2:41:43 | 2:41:48 | |
hearse, helping to control health
and prevent outbreaks of disease | 2:41:48 | 2:41:50 | |
here. Excellent Tony Stewart of the
World Health Organisation, thank you | 2:41:50 | 2:41:54 | |
very much indeed. So as I say, the
first cyclone, this is a really | 2:41:54 | 2:41:59 | |
cyclone prone area, the first
cyclones are likely to come in in | 2:41:59 | 2:42:02 | |
April. You have months of them and
this awful monsoon season, look at | 2:42:02 | 2:42:07 | |
this environment, look at the house,
look at the conditions here and just | 2:42:07 | 2:42:11 | |
imagine what it will be like when
the rains come, huge challenges for | 2:42:11 | 2:42:15 | |
the people here, but challenges that
they are rising to, so from the | 2:42:15 | 2:42:20 | |
refugee camps here in Bangladesh,
back to you in Britain. | 2:42:20 | 2:42:28 | |
Thank you for that, the drone
footage shows you the sheer size and | 2:42:29 | 2:42:33 | |
scale. | 2:42:33 | 2:42:37 | |
Carillion employees should keep
coming to work and will get paid. | 2:42:37 | 2:42:40 | |
That's the message this morning
from the government, | 2:42:40 | 2:42:42 | |
which says it will provide funding
to maintain services after the firm | 2:42:42 | 2:42:45 | |
went into liquidation. | 2:42:45 | 2:42:46 | |
David Liddington is the Cabinet
Office Minister and he joins us now. | 2:42:46 | 2:42:52 | |
Morning to you, thank you very much.
So many questions to find out about | 2:42:52 | 2:42:55 | |
the impact of all o this. Carillion
going into liquidation today, 20,000 | 2:42:55 | 2:43:01 | |
jobs are they safe? Anybody who is
employed on a public service | 2:43:01 | 2:43:06 | |
contract should come into work
confident their wages and salaries | 2:43:06 | 2:43:09 | |
will be paid, we made arrangements
as Government and this is working | 2:43:09 | 2:43:14 | |
through the rest of the state
system, to pay to the official serve | 2:43:14 | 2:43:19 | |
who is in charge of winding up
Carillion, rather than Carillion, we | 2:43:19 | 2:43:25 | |
had the money earmarked from the
wages and salary in Government | 2:43:25 | 2:43:29 | |
budgets so we are continuing to pay
those today. People should come into | 2:43:29 | 2:43:33 | |
work. Let us talk about the services
they currently run. They are | 2:43:33 | 2:43:37 | |
involved in all sorts of thing, in
school, hospitalses, prisons and on | 2:43:37 | 2:43:42 | |
the railway, what happens to those?
That work continues which is why we | 2:43:42 | 2:43:46 | |
need the people to carry on. I have
been clear and the Government has | 2:43:46 | 2:43:49 | |
been clear, that it is not our
responsibility to bail out the | 2:43:49 | 2:43:56 | |
shareholders, or lenders of
Carillion, and they sadly are going | 2:43:56 | 2:44:00 | |
to take a big hit from the collapse
of the company, our priority is to | 2:44:00 | 2:44:05 | |
protect key public services, and
that is what we are doing, in | 2:44:05 | 2:44:09 | |
ensuring that those service
contracts continue to be funded via | 2:44:09 | 2:44:13 | |
the official receiver, now, as the
official receiver analyses | 2:44:13 | 2:44:18 | |
Carillion's businesses, its
different contract, what we will see | 2:44:18 | 2:44:21 | |
is some of that public service
business being let out to | 2:44:21 | 2:44:26 | |
alternative contractors, other
aspects may well be brought in house | 2:44:26 | 2:44:30 | |
by the particular Government
department or agency, or local | 2:44:30 | 2:44:36 | |
authority concerned, and that will
be done in an ordinary gradual | 2:44:36 | 2:44:40 | |
fashion. Can we talk about the
money, you say you have it | 2:44:40 | 2:44:43 | |
earmarked, how much will it cost? It
is Michelle Obama we are paying | 2:44:43 | 2:44:47 | |
anywhere, we are not paying twice,
we pay for the service as we receive | 2:44:47 | 2:44:51 | |
them, whether that is maintenance in
the Prison Service, or whether that | 2:44:51 | 2:44:57 | |
is a construction contract, or
whether it is cleaning in a | 2:44:57 | 2:45:01 | |
hospital, we were up to yesterday
paying that money to Krill I don't | 2:45:01 | 2:45:05 | |
know for services given. We will be
paying it through the official | 2:45:05 | 2:45:08 | |
serve. It the same money. Let us
talk about the major projects, | 2:45:08 | 2:45:14 | |
investments for example and there is
many of them. The royal Liverpool | 2:45:14 | 2:45:19 | |
hospital, the Doon bypass, HS2, what
happens to those? Well, in many | 2:45:19 | 2:45:25 | |
cases those are the subject of joint
venture arrangement where Carillion | 2:45:25 | 2:45:30 | |
was one of a number of different
contractors involved, and the HS2 | 2:45:30 | 2:45:35 | |
contract, it is true of some of the
defence maintenance contracts and in | 2:45:35 | 2:45:41 | |
those case, the other partners now
come in and they take up Carillion's | 2:45:41 | 2:45:45 | |
share of the business. So if it was
a three-way contract it becomes two | 2:45:45 | 2:45:51 | |
contractors who split the costs and
the opportunities 50-50. | 2:45:51 | 2:45:59 | |
I know there was stress testing
before some of these, but they are | 2:45:59 | 2:46:03 | |
in place to take on these last
contracts. In many cases, there is a | 2:46:03 | 2:46:09 | |
contractual obligation that all of
those contractors knew when they | 2:46:09 | 2:46:13 | |
signed up. And yes, this is
something that the different | 2:46:13 | 2:46:18 | |
government departments and agencies,
who are responsible for various | 2:46:18 | 2:46:22 | |
aspects of the Carillion contracting
have been looking at over recent | 2:46:22 | 2:46:27 | |
weeks, in some cases, months, and
checking there is the capacity to | 2:46:27 | 2:46:31 | |
take things up. You mentioned
Aberdeen. Where something is | 2:46:31 | 2:46:34 | |
devolved, there is the Scottish
Government there. Some other | 2:46:34 | 2:46:41 | |
contracts might be administered by
local authorities. The relevant | 2:46:41 | 2:46:44 | |
Whitehall departments have been in
touch there and we have been keeping | 2:46:44 | 2:46:49 | |
the devolved administrations in
Scotland and Wales in the loop as | 2:46:49 | 2:46:52 | |
well. Can I ask why the government
was giving out new contracts when | 2:46:52 | 2:46:57 | |
the company had already issued
profit warnings? Why did that | 2:46:57 | 2:47:02 | |
happen? Each department operated on
the basis of the publicly known in | 2:47:02 | 2:47:07 | |
legal rules that govern the award of
government contracts, and in the way | 2:47:07 | 2:47:12 | |
that I have just described, if you
look at those central government | 2:47:12 | 2:47:16 | |
contracts that were agreed, that
involved Carillion post July 2017, | 2:47:16 | 2:47:22 | |
you will see that they had joint
bench partners who are there to take | 2:47:22 | 2:47:28 | |
up the slack so that risk was
covered. We have been told this | 2:47:28 | 2:47:33 | |
morning on this programme, and there
is so much concern about this from | 2:47:33 | 2:47:38 | |
an organisation representing
suppliers, that some of them will | 2:47:38 | 2:47:41 | |
collapse. This will have impacts on
all sorts of people. What about the | 2:47:41 | 2:47:45 | |
suppliers, what about the people who
work for them? Just as we are saying | 2:47:45 | 2:47:51 | |
to employees, that we are continuing
to pay your wages and salaries, so | 2:47:51 | 2:47:55 | |
we are saying to suppliers, you can
continue to supply, we will continue | 2:47:55 | 2:48:02 | |
to pay you for those supplies, it
will be rooted by the official | 2:48:02 | 2:48:07 | |
receiver and not Carillion. Who say
the money is there. Some people are | 2:48:07 | 2:48:11 | |
concerned that the taxpayer will be
left with a large bill because this | 2:48:11 | 2:48:16 | |
has happened. We are not paying
twice. So for example, if there is a | 2:48:16 | 2:48:23 | |
contract that Carillion should carry
out, hospital cleaning and | 2:48:23 | 2:48:29 | |
maintenance somewhere, then that
money will have been a marked in the | 2:48:29 | 2:48:32 | |
budget by the Department of Health
or the local NHS Trust. But money | 2:48:32 | 2:48:36 | |
will still be there in the budget
from this morning onwards, instead | 2:48:36 | 2:48:39 | |
of that money going into Carillion's
bank account, that will go into the | 2:48:39 | 2:48:43 | |
bank account of the official
receiver so it can be passed on to | 2:48:43 | 2:48:48 | |
the suppliers accordingly. And I
know you will be involved in these | 2:48:48 | 2:48:51 | |
talks, when it came to the fact that
this would have to be liquidated, do | 2:48:51 | 2:48:57 | |
see it as a failure? I think it is a
matter of great regret that the | 2:48:57 | 2:49:01 | |
company which had been very hopeful,
that they had come to deal with | 2:49:01 | 2:49:05 | |
their lenders, was unsuccessful in
doing that. It could not be for | 2:49:05 | 2:49:12 | |
taxpayers to come forward and
bailout private sector risk. Our job | 2:49:12 | 2:49:16 | |
as government was to protect the
continuity of public services. That | 2:49:16 | 2:49:20 | |
is where our focus remains.
David Liddington, thank you. I feel | 2:49:20 | 2:49:25 | |
we need to give Carol a proper
introduction today. Oh, lovely Carol | 2:49:25 | 2:49:31 | |
Kirkwood, pretty Carol Kirkwood we
love you! That was fabulous. That | 2:49:31 | 2:49:37 | |
was probably the best introduction I
have ever had in my life! I am in | 2:49:37 | 2:49:47 | |
front of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.
Why? Because Chris Evans on his | 2:49:47 | 2:49:50 | |
Radio 2 show launched the
competition 500 words. This is to | 2:49:50 | 2:49:56 | |
encourage children to read and write
more and they are encouraged to | 2:49:56 | 2:50:00 | |
write 500 words of fiction and enter
it into the competition. The closing | 2:50:00 | 2:50:05 | |
date is Thursday 22nd of February
and the live final will take place | 2:50:05 | 2:50:09 | |
on Friday the 8th of June. That will
happen at Hampton Court Palace | 2:50:09 | 2:50:15 | |
Festival where you may see
characters like Henry VIII and Anne | 2:50:15 | 2:50:18 | |
Boleyn. Good morning. Don't they
look fabulous? If you want to take | 2:50:18 | 2:50:25 | |
part, you can find details on the
BBC Radio to website and on Facebook | 2:50:25 | 2:50:30 | |
as well. Some of the prizes for
first prize include a spin in Chitty | 2:50:30 | 2:50:35 | |
Chitty Bang Bang around the Hampton
Court Palace Festival. But other | 2:50:35 | 2:50:41 | |
things, the children will win Chris
Evans' height in books for | 2:50:41 | 2:50:48 | |
themselves and the children who come
second and third will also win books | 2:50:48 | 2:50:53 | |
for themselves and books for their
school. So well worth getting | 2:50:53 | 2:50:58 | |
involved in this. Hopefully, the
weather on that day will be better | 2:50:58 | 2:51:01 | |
than it is today. Today, what we
have is a wet start for many of us. | 2:51:01 | 2:51:06 | |
We have rain across the south-east
with blustery winds and as the rain | 2:51:06 | 2:51:10 | |
clears from the south-east, all of
us will have a day of blustery | 2:51:10 | 2:51:16 | |
showers. | 2:51:16 | 2:51:17 | |
Increasingly through the day it will
turn colder. In Scotland we have | 2:51:21 | 2:51:26 | |
some showers and snow showers.
Across the north of England we have | 2:51:26 | 2:51:33 | |
showers and heavy bursts. In the
south-east we have again heavy rain | 2:51:33 | 2:51:36 | |
and gusty winds. That will move away
to the near continent. For the rest | 2:51:36 | 2:51:40 | |
of southern England, still some rain
around, as there is a cross Wales | 2:51:40 | 2:51:44 | |
but it is not a cold start to the
day here. Temperatures are already | 2:51:44 | 2:51:51 | |
1011 selfies. The Northern Ireland
you will find the rain has already | 2:51:51 | 2:51:56 | |
cleared and there we have bright
spells and Sunnis of -- 10-11dC. | 2:51:56 | 2:52:07 | |
This morning temperatures will go
down as we go through the course of | 2:52:07 | 2:52:10 | |
the afternoon. All of us will see
some blustery showers increasingly | 2:52:10 | 2:52:16 | |
to lower levels across Scotland and
then later across lower levels to | 2:52:16 | 2:52:21 | |
Northern Ireland. It will be cold in
the north. Temperatures are little | 2:52:21 | 2:52:25 | |
higher as we come through the south.
This evening and overnight we | 2:52:25 | 2:52:28 | |
continue with snow at lower levels
across Scotland, Northern Ireland | 2:52:28 | 2:52:33 | |
and northern England. There will
also be some winteriness in the | 2:52:33 | 2:52:36 | |
showers | 2:52:36 | 2:52:41 | |
showers across Wales and we could
see them hail and it will be cold | 2:52:41 | 2:52:45 | |
enough for the risk of ice on
untreated surfaces. Tomorrow we | 2:52:45 | 2:52:50 | |
start with snow across Scotland,
Northern Ireland and northern | 2:52:50 | 2:52:55 | |
England, starting to cumin eight.
Almost anywhere tomorrow we could | 2:52:55 | 2:53:01 | |
see some winteriness coming out of
the showers. The further south you | 2:53:01 | 2:53:05 | |
are the likelihood is it will be on
the hills. Do expect some hail and | 2:53:05 | 2:53:09 | |
also some thunder and lightning.
Cold in the north, not as cold in | 2:53:09 | 2:53:15 | |
the south. For Wednesday, drier,
still a breezy day. Then we have an | 2:53:15 | 2:53:20 | |
area of low pressure coming in from
the west. It will bring some snowed | 2:53:20 | 2:53:27 | |
in northern parts of the UK and
possibly destructive winds across | 2:53:27 | 2:53:31 | |
the West and south. That is
something to keep an eye on the | 2:53:31 | 2:53:34 | |
specially later on Wednesday into
Thursday. What a pleasure it has | 2:53:34 | 2:53:40 | |
been being here. I want to show you
something. Listen to this. | 2:53:40 | 2:53:54 | |
HORN TOOTS. Thank you, Carol! | 2:53:55 | 2:54:00 | |
Joining us on the sofa to talk
about the BBC Radio 2, | 2:54:05 | 2:54:08 | |
500 words competition,
are former Blue Peter presenters | 2:54:08 | 2:54:09 | |
Barney Harwood and Helen Skelton
and author Charlie Higson. | 2:54:09 | 2:54:17 | |
Good morning, all. Thank you for
joining us. I don't know where to | 2:54:18 | 2:54:21 | |
start after all of that! 500 words
is a short amount getting to a | 2:54:21 | 2:54:29 | |
cracking story. Yes and writing
things shorter can be so much | 2:54:29 | 2:54:33 | |
harder. But I think it is good for a
kid because it is not intimidating. | 2:54:33 | 2:54:41 | |
They only have to write 500 words
and as long as they think of it like | 2:54:41 | 2:54:44 | |
a joke. It needs to pack a punch.
You can really do that in 500 words. | 2:54:44 | 2:54:48 | |
The kids to have written stories
over the years have been so | 2:54:48 | 2:54:51 | |
innovative in the way they have used
the format and played with the idea. | 2:54:51 | 2:54:59 | |
Some of them are truly brilliant.
You have been involved right from | 2:54:59 | 2:55:01 | |
the start and it has spiralled into
this huge beast. Sam-macro three | 2:55:01 | 2:55:05 | |
quarters of a million children have
got in touch and written the | 2:55:05 | 2:55:08 | |
stories. What we're doing is
unlocking the imagination and saying | 2:55:08 | 2:55:12 | |
you can do what you want. The genius
that Chris Evans came up with the | 2:55:12 | 2:55:21 | |
idea. You don't expect them, I don't
know why you don't expect children | 2:55:21 | 2:55:28 | |
to be able to do it. You think, I
see what they did there. Some | 2:55:28 | 2:55:34 | |
stories make you cry. And the
stories get read out by really | 2:55:34 | 2:55:42 | |
famous actors... And me
occasionally! Don't do yourself | 2:55:42 | 2:55:46 | |
down!
It is wonderful hearing them, isn't | 2:55:46 | 2:55:50 | |
it? And I think it has got so big
and they are of such good quality | 2:55:50 | 2:55:56 | |
which is why BBC Learning have
launched this live lesson. Charlie | 2:55:56 | 2:56:02 | |
is involved, we have Madelyn Harris
from Paddington and all teachers | 2:56:02 | 2:56:06 | |
have to do is log on to the website
and they can watch it. We are your | 2:56:06 | 2:56:12 | |
teachers for the day effectively. In
terms of tips, we have also got, the | 2:56:12 | 2:56:18 | |
idea is about how to write a good
book from David Walliams who I think | 2:56:18 | 2:56:22 | |
knows a thing or two. I think he has
the top five in the world. | 2:56:22 | 2:56:30 | |
The top tip I'd say to you is write
the kind of story that | 2:56:30 | 2:56:33 | |
you would like to read. | 2:56:33 | 2:56:34 | |
And you can't make other
people laugh unless you | 2:56:34 | 2:56:37 | |
make yourself laugh. | 2:56:37 | 2:56:37 | |
So, if you're sat there chuckling
as you're writing your story, | 2:56:37 | 2:56:40 | |
you're on to something good. | 2:56:40 | 2:56:41 | |
If you're coming up with a scary
story and you yourself | 2:56:41 | 2:56:44 | |
are scared by what's
going on in your imagination, | 2:56:44 | 2:56:46 | |
you're on to something good. | 2:56:46 | 2:56:51 | |
Absolutely. So while you are here,
having written a good few books | 2:56:51 | 2:56:57 | |
yourself, top tips? That is what I
love as children Potter author, | 2:56:57 | 2:57:03 | |
being by David Walliams! -- as a
children's author. What was the | 2:57:03 | 2:57:11 | |
question? Give us some top tips on
how to write this. The thing is is | 2:57:11 | 2:57:17 | |
to enjoy it. What I love about this
competition is it is not something | 2:57:17 | 2:57:21 | |
you have to do for school, it is
something to do for fun. The ones we | 2:57:21 | 2:57:25 | |
love reading the most are the ones
where you can tell the kid has had a | 2:57:25 | 2:57:30 | |
lot of fun writing the story and
coming up with ideas. You don't have | 2:57:30 | 2:57:34 | |
to worry about spelling and
punctuation, just | 2:57:34 | 2:57:41 | |
tell a great little story and have
fun and entertain someone. There | 2:57:49 | 2:57:51 | |
will be some children who will do
this as part of lets all write a | 2:57:51 | 2:57:54 | |
story together, and you can feel
anxious. It does not have to be the | 2:57:54 | 2:57:57 | |
greatest story in the world, it is
about letting your imagination flow | 2:57:57 | 2:58:00 | |
a bit? There are no right or wrong
answers. We were talking about what | 2:58:00 | 2:58:03 | |
is a great end or a great beginning?
Anything goes. Some of the | 2:58:03 | 2:58:08 | |
successful ones have been a bit
quirky. One was a series of e-mails | 2:58:08 | 2:58:14 | |
or text. Anything goes and you
cannot go wrong. It all starts with | 2:58:14 | 2:58:20 | |
one idea. Just drop that idea down
and draw the lines of it and see | 2:58:20 | 2:58:26 | |
where it goes. We have a machine
called a fabulator and it put words | 2:58:26 | 2:58:35 | |
on the screen. You can get ideas
from anywhere. He has got a set with | 2:58:35 | 2:58:41 | |
toys in it. And costumes! And tell
us about the prizes, they are | 2:58:41 | 2:58:49 | |
wonderful prizes. It is £1 million
first prize! I think it is books. | 2:58:49 | 2:58:57 | |
You win your height in books or
Chris Evans' height in books and | 2:58:57 | 2:59:03 | |
also the Duchess of Cornwall. It is
all in Hampton Court and you get to | 2:59:03 | 2:59:11 | |
drive in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,
you get the on the Thames. And it is | 2:59:11 | 2:59:16 | |
a great day. It is fantastic and it
is all done live on Chris's show. | 2:59:16 | 2:59:23 | |
And there are fantastic actors to
read the stories, and you can see | 2:59:23 | 2:59:26 | |
that the kids just love it. And I
think the parents love it as well. | 2:59:26 | 2:59:31 | |
Everyone is proud of their kid's
picture or drawing, but to hear your | 2:59:31 | 2:59:36 | |
child's story read out on national
radio by an award-winning actor. And | 2:59:36 | 2:59:42 | |
I suppose back on the day when it
started, I know some people have it | 2:59:42 | 2:59:45 | |
as part of lessons but in the
beginning it was not like that? | 2:59:45 | 2:59:52 | |
It wasn't so much Chris's work that
got it to where it is, it was the | 2:59:52 | 2:59:57 | |
children that picked it up and went,
we can do this, they want us to. It | 2:59:57 | 3:00:02 | |
has gone mad. We are encouraging
teachers to log on and watch it on | 3:00:02 | 3:00:05 | |
the website. It doesn't have to be
in a classroom, you can do it after | 3:00:05 | 3:00:09 | |
home after school. You go on the
live lessons website. How old were | 3:00:09 | 3:00:16 | |
you when you started writing? Nine
or ten. Did you choose to do it. I | 3:00:16 | 3:00:20 | |
loved it. The idea you could take a
pen and paper and you could make up | 3:00:20 | 3:00:26 | |
something that had hasn't existed
before. Storied that never been | 3:00:26 | 3:00:30 | |
told, I thought that was a kind of
magic and I still do. You have | 3:00:30 | 3:00:36 | |
written books as well. No, I read,
them. Less successfully than | 3:00:36 | 3:00:40 | |
Charlie. Is it the seed of an idea.
I rambled and rambled and the | 3:00:40 | 3:00:49 | |
publisher was like, no you need to
put it into one, let us slim this | 3:00:49 | 3:00:53 | |
down. It goes and I think the
hardest thing for me was finding an | 3:00:53 | 3:00:59 | |
ending, so's I have had a good idea
for a book, it is about a granny who | 3:00:59 | 3:01:07 | |
steals the Crown jewels from the
Tower of London. She is a bit of a | 3:01:07 | 3:01:10 | |
gangster... I think someone has...
Last night we saw what the Crown | 3:01:10 | 3:01:15 | |
jewels looked like, if anybody was
watching the Queen talking about... | 3:01:15 | 3:01:21 | |
She was throwing them round like she
owns them. Radio 2's story writing | 3:01:21 | 3:01:27 | |
competition opens today.
Entries close... On 22nd February, | 3:01:27 | 3:01:33 | |
full details can be found on the 500
words 2018 website. Thank you for | 3:01:33 | 3:01:39 | |
coming | 3:01:39 | 3:01:39 | |
words 2018 website. | 3:01:39 | 3:01:40 | |
in. | 3:01:40 | 3:01:40 | |
Thank you for coming in. | 3:01:40 | 3:01:41 | |
In a few moments, we'll be joined
by Freddie Flintoff, | 3:01:41 | 3:01:44 | |
Robbie Savage and the Ping Pong guy,
Matthew Syed. | 3:01:44 | 3:01:46 | |
First though, let's take a last,
brief look at the headlines | 3:01:46 | 3:01:48 | |
where you are this morning. | 3:01:48 | 3:03:33 | |
It's a simple concept. | 3:03:43 | 3:03:45 | |
A former cricketer, an ex-footballer
and a table-tennis-player | 3:03:45 | 3:03:46 | |
turned sports-writer come together
to discuss some of the biggest | 3:03:46 | 3:03:49 | |
sporting issues of the week. | 3:03:49 | 3:03:50 | |
Yet, "Flintoff, Savage
and the Ping Pong Guy" has become | 3:03:50 | 3:03:57 | |
a multi-award winning podcast. | 3:03:57 | 3:04:01 | |
It includes a healthy dose of fun
but - covering everything from life | 3:04:01 | 3:04:04 | |
on other planets to depression
amongst sportspeople - | 3:04:04 | 3:04:06 | |
the hosts aren't afraid to tackle
more difficult subjects too. | 3:04:06 | 3:04:08 | |
In a moment, we'll speak
to the men behind the show - | 3:04:08 | 3:04:11 | |
Andrew Flintoff, Robbie Savage
and Matthew Syed. | 3:04:11 | 3:04:13 | |
But first here's a taste. | 3:04:13 | 3:04:20 | |
Do you think there are aliens,
like, hanging round? | 3:04:22 | 3:04:26 | |
Why wouldn't there be? | 3:04:26 | 3:04:28 | |
Hang on, there's aliens
walking around now. | 3:04:28 | 3:04:30 | |
What, do you think there is a chance
that Robbie is an alien? | 3:04:30 | 3:04:33 | |
He's different, but I wouldn't
say he's an alien. | 3:04:33 | 3:04:35 | |
The person who has severe mental
illness, and has done for 30 years, | 3:04:35 | 3:04:38 | |
over 30 years, won't publicly
talk about it. | 3:04:38 | 3:04:40 | |
So I can't talk
about it, this person. | 3:04:40 | 3:04:48 | |
Why is it so expensive
to watch football? | 3:04:52 | 3:04:54 | |
I agree with that,
I agree with that. | 3:04:54 | 3:04:56 | |
Bring the prices down. | 3:04:56 | 3:04:57 | |
Bring them down. | 3:04:57 | 3:04:58 | |
But that guy, that guy
in the white van... | 3:04:58 | 3:05:00 | |
Don't charge £6 for a pint and £14
for a burger and a dodgy pie. | 3:05:00 | 3:05:03 | |
Make it inclusive. | 3:05:03 | 3:05:04 | |
Bring your family. | 3:05:04 | 3:05:05 | |
I agree. | 3:05:05 | 3:05:07 | |
I'll never forgive myself. | 3:05:07 | 3:05:08 | |
I've not told this to many people,
but you know they used to go | 3:05:08 | 3:05:12 | |
every day to Wrexham,
and that day, I wasn't | 3:05:12 | 3:05:14 | |
there, you know... | 3:05:14 | 3:05:15 | |
I'll never forgive myself for that. | 3:05:15 | 3:05:20 | |
Joining us on the sofa now
are Andrew Flintoff, | 3:05:20 | 3:05:22 | |
Robbie Savage and Matthew Syed. | 3:05:22 | 3:05:27 | |
I was running through your awards.
Who knows, how many have brow got? | 3:05:27 | 3:05:33 | |
Three, two for the show, one
individually for Andrew and best new | 3:05:33 | 3:05:35 | |
presenter. I'm 40! Best new
presenter! And worse he doesn't | 3:05:35 | 3:05:42 | |
present the show. I knew there are
would be sore feelings about it. We | 3:05:42 | 3:05:47 | |
are meant to be a team. You don't
want to start the new series with | 3:05:47 | 3:05:53 | |
awkwardness. It is about 75% of the
show, I enjoy, is conflict. Mainly | 3:05:53 | 3:05:59 | |
between Fred and Robbie. Robbie gets
hammered a lot. You two shop at | 3:05:59 | 3:06:06 | |
different places. He is looking
great and you have just got off your | 3:06:06 | 3:06:12 | |
yacht. At least a made an effort.
Last time you were on you were | 3:06:12 | 3:06:20 | |
ripping it out of him because you
say he wore the wrong shirt, the | 3:06:20 | 3:06:27 | |
podcast was you caning him. He had a
light blue shirt, the biggest sweat | 3:06:27 | 3:06:33 | |
patch upon the next hour we were
trying to say Matthew, you looked | 3:06:33 | 3:06:38 | |
all right. Mike, the producer, a
brilliant producer consummate | 3:06:38 | 3:06:45 | |
professional. Freddie is with in one
of those moods. He got hammered. But | 3:06:45 | 3:06:51 | |
there is nice stuff on the show too.
I glad you mentioned about life on | 3:06:51 | 3:06:58 | |
other planet, the flat earth. We did
one of the pods, I love a conspiracy | 3:06:58 | 3:07:04 | |
theory, so we did conspiracy theory,
I listened to a podcast called the | 3:07:04 | 3:07:09 | |
flat earther, if you listen to them
they will convince you the world is | 3:07:09 | 3:07:12 | |
flat. It is brilliant. I had come
off the back of a flat earth podcast | 3:07:12 | 3:07:18 | |
thinking the world is flat. It was
their conspiracy, all of a sudden | 3:07:18 | 3:07:24 | |
I'm a flat earther. I am glad you
have made that clear. I think it is | 3:07:24 | 3:07:29 | |
morph a turnip. I spent a bit of
time listening to your ashes | 3:07:29 | 3:07:34 | |
forecasts. They went very good.
Shall we have than. To remind you in | 3:07:34 | 3:07:39 | |
case you can't remember. We will
lose at the Gabba, the pink ball. | 3:07:39 | 3:07:49 | |
That will suit England. We will get
beat in Perth. Fast and bouncy, then | 3:07:49 | 3:07:55 | |
we will win in Melbourne and Sydney.
3-2. It's highbrow stuff isn't it. | 3:07:55 | 3:08:02 | |
It is all about opinion, you have to
throw them out there. I think the | 3:08:02 | 3:08:07 | |
world is flat. But I didn't see much
of the Ashes. But, let us be honest | 3:08:07 | 3:08:12 | |
we got outplayed. That was plain and
simple. A lot people put different | 3:08:12 | 3:08:17 | |
reasons why we got beat, we weren't
good enough. But, you know what, it | 3:08:17 | 3:08:24 | |
takes the heat off me getting 5-0 as
Captain. I took the blame for that. | 3:08:24 | 3:08:27 | |
I am not having that any more. How
do you come up with the ideas? You | 3:08:27 | 3:08:33 | |
discuss all sort of things. It is a
broad range, we have done mental | 3:08:33 | 3:08:40 | |
health, conspiracy theory, we talked
about the one time in hiss triwe | 3:08:40 | 3:08:43 | |
would most like to go back and see,
I chose going back and seeing Jesus | 3:08:43 | 3:08:48 | |
Christ, it would be fascinating,
Freddie came up with another time, | 3:08:48 | 3:08:53 | |
decided he wanted to go back to the
Wild West, wear a stet son and go | 3:08:53 | 3:08:57 | |
into a bar. Butch Cassidy type. That
would have suited you. I said I | 3:08:57 | 3:09:04 | |
wanted to see horses. You can see
them without travelling back in | 3:09:04 | 3:09:07 | |
time. I understand that, I thought
about being a cowboy, I can see them | 3:09:07 | 3:09:13 | |
where I live. Robbie is like the
executive producer, Robbie it is | 3:09:13 | 3:09:20 | |
fair to say he is on the phone all
the time, perhaps slightly too much, | 3:09:20 | 3:09:26 | |
on the whats an group, triggering
ideas, if he is worried that it | 3:09:26 | 3:09:30 | |
might cross the line, he is on the
phone to a lawyer, would this be | 3:09:30 | 3:09:34 | |
defamatory, he is all over it. You
have to be careful. He is the one | 3:09:34 | 3:09:38 | |
who drives it. He does. When we
started the podcast, we enjoyed | 3:09:38 | 3:09:44 | |
doing it. We never expected the how
popular, working with Rob, and we | 3:09:44 | 3:09:50 | |
never expected awards or anything
like that, because it will honest | 3:09:50 | 3:09:55 | |
doing it is enough. Out of all the
stuff I do I enjoy, we turn up, talk | 3:09:55 | 3:10:00 | |
for a lot. He is does a lot. That is
great thing, when you start | 3:10:00 | 3:10:06 | |
listening you never know the
trekkion it is going to go in. I | 3:10:06 | 3:10:09 | |
don't think we do to be honest. That
is part of the magic. Will you touch | 3:10:09 | 3:10:14 | |
on Wales today and Ryan Giggs, this
afternoon should be unveiled as the | 3:10:14 | 3:10:18 | |
new manager. It is a sore subject,
he thought he was going to get it. | 3:10:18 | 3:10:25 | |
Well I didn't Andrew, I think it
will be a fantastic appointment. | 3:10:25 | 3:10:29 | |
People saying he didn't play that
many friendlies for his country, | 3:10:29 | 3:10:33 | |
but, he was a passionate Welshman,
no doubt about it. Mark Hughes's | 3:10:33 | 3:10:38 | |
first job had no experience, he was
playing for Southampton when he got | 3:10:38 | 3:10:43 | |
the job, he took the job are and did
well. His first opportunity as a | 3:10:43 | 3:10:48 | |
Welsh manager. I think he will be
good. He was my Captain, and he has | 3:10:48 | 3:10:53 | |
an aura about him, for the
youngster, they will listen to him. | 3:10:53 | 3:10:56 | |
He has been there, done it. It is a
fantastic appointment. That could be | 3:10:56 | 3:11:02 | |
a good topic, my sense is players
get to the end of their careers and | 3:11:02 | 3:11:06 | |
they assume because they have been
good players and Giggs one of the | 3:11:06 | 3:11:10 | |
greatest, they can transition into
being a great coach. My sense is by | 3:11:10 | 3:11:14 | |
and large coaching is a different
set of skill, you have to empathise | 3:11:14 | 3:11:20 | |
be people, explain stuff. Fred and
Rob are nodding off at this point. I | 3:11:20 | 3:11:25 | |
wish you could have seen that. I
wish we could have seen you having a | 3:11:25 | 3:11:31 | |
snuggle on the sofa. At that point
you lose concentration do you. | 3:11:31 | 3:11:39 | |
That's when he gets edited out. I
like the psychology, I am with you. | 3:11:39 | 3:11:45 | |
And these two, they do get, that I
get into that part of it, you know, | 3:11:45 | 3:11:48 | |
some of the stuff I have learned
like parenting, we talked about | 3:11:48 | 3:11:54 | |
parenting, I have younger kids than
Rob and Fred, but how do you | 3:11:54 | 3:11:57 | |
encourage your kids to be in to
sport, and to, but not to push them, | 3:11:57 | 3:12:02 | |
no to take the fun out of sport. We
are on the podcast as well. | 3:12:02 | 3:12:09 | |
Something else, sad news, get your
take on this, talking about the | 3:12:09 | 3:12:12 | |
death of Cyrille Regis at the age of
59. He is someone who was a | 3:12:12 | 3:12:17 | |
trailblazer, one of the first
generation of black footballers and | 3:12:17 | 3:12:20 | |
had a real impact, not just on
football but across sport. It was so | 3:12:20 | 3:12:24 | |
racially abused in the '70s, and way
he spoke about in his later career, | 3:12:24 | 3:12:29 | |
he was important for so many other
footballers. That was a big | 3:12:29 | 3:12:34 | |
watershed, no just in sport, I went
to the first game that a black | 3:12:34 | 3:12:39 | |
player played for England, Viv
Anderson in 1978. Cyrille Regis was | 3:12:39 | 3:12:43 | |
in that cohort of player who took
terrible abuse from the strands, -- | 3:12:43 | 3:12:47 | |
stands and had to show resilience
and grace to get through it and to | 3:12:47 | 3:12:51 | |
excel as a flawer. I am from an
ethnic minority background. They | 3:12:51 | 3:12:58 | |
were massively important not just in
sporting terms but cultural terms. | 3:12:58 | 3:13:02 | |
It is sad news, he is an icon, that
goal I think was goal of the season | 3:13:02 | 3:13:07 | |
in 1981, 82. What a player, he will
sorely missed. A legend in the | 3:13:07 | 3:13:13 | |
Midland but loved across the
football family. A remarkable guy, | 3:13:13 | 3:13:20 | |
great footballer and I think that, I
think football has been powerful. | 3:13:20 | 3:13:23 | |
The amount of people who flay
football from knit minority | 3:13:23 | 3:13:27 | |
background, this is a symbolic
thing, he will be remembered as a | 3:13:27 | 3:13:30 | |
pioneer. Thank you all. You are off
to go and record it shortly. | 3:13:30 | 3:13:36 | |
Right now. | 3:13:36 | 3:13:36 | |
Right now. | 3:13:36 | 3:13:37 | |
The next episode of "Flintoff,
Savage and the Ping Pong Guy" | 3:13:37 | 3:13:40 | |
will be available later today. | 3:13:40 | 3:13:43 | |
That it is from us, we will be back
tomorrow, from six, thank you | 3:13:43 | 3:13:48 | |
gentlemen, | 3:13:48 | 3:13:53 |
