0:00:07 > 0:00:12Hello - this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15Hundreds of drivers stranded overnight as heavy snow sweeps

0:00:15 > 0:00:17across the UK.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Mountain rescue teams are drafted

0:00:20 > 0:00:24in as blizzard conditions leave motorists stuck for up to 8 hours

0:00:24 > 0:00:31on the M74 in Scotland.

0:00:31 > 0:00:33Good morning - it's Wednesday 17th January.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53Good morning - it's Wednesday 17th January.

0:00:53 > 0:00:55Also this morning:

0:00:55 > 0:00:58More nurses are quitting the NHS in England than joining.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01Senior nurses warn that too many staff are demoralised by the job.

0:01:01 > 0:01:02Fit for office.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Donald Trump passes his medical as the White House doctor

0:01:05 > 0:01:09says his "cognitive ability" is normal.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12Carillion owed more than a billion pounds when it went bust -

0:01:12 > 0:01:16but now we didn't even have enough cash for 5% of the bill.

0:01:16 > 0:01:19This morning I'm looking at why big businesses can get away

0:01:19 > 0:01:27with making late payment.

0:01:32 > 0:01:37The first goal is awarded by the video assistant referee.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40And: as the RAF celebrates its 100th anniversary, the last

0:01:40 > 0:01:47of the Dambusters tells us about his life in the skies.

0:01:47 > 0:01:52Snow and ice are causing serious problems on roads across Scotland,

0:01:52 > 0:01:54Northern Ireland and northern England with drivers stranded in

0:01:54 > 0:02:00long queues. Rescue teams are helping trapped motorists and people

0:02:00 > 0:02:05in dumb freeze and Galloway are being advised not to drive. Problems

0:02:05 > 0:02:11in Northern Ireland with schools closed entrance port affected.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15Rescuing the driver trapped in our cars overnight on the main motorway

0:02:15 > 0:02:18between England and Scotland. Heavy snow meant treacherous conditions

0:02:18 > 0:02:24for the emergency services on the M74. The weather kept some motorists

0:02:24 > 0:02:29in freezing cars for more than eight hours.Very little has been

0:02:29 > 0:02:33happening, I'm afraid. With barely moved. I'm not that far away from

0:02:33 > 0:02:40where I was. In total, very little movement.On the Isle of Skye, the

0:02:40 > 0:02:43main road was closed for several hours in both directions by

0:02:43 > 0:02:48jackknifed lorry. To buses carrying pupils were forced to return to

0:02:48 > 0:02:53school for the night. Dozens of schools closed yesterday across

0:02:53 > 0:02:58Scotland affecting thousands of children. But it wasn't all doom and

0:02:58 > 0:03:04gloom. In Selkirk, the scene was worthy of a seasonal postcard with

0:03:04 > 0:03:09people living on higher ground witnessing the heavy snowfall. In

0:03:09 > 0:03:12dumb freeze, snowploughs worked around the clock to keep motorists

0:03:12 > 0:03:18moving. This was the picture in Glasgow. And in Edinburgh, only the

0:03:18 > 0:03:23most determined ventured out in our cars. Grifters have been out through

0:03:23 > 0:03:28the night to avoid a repeat of the problems for drivers on the M74 but

0:03:28 > 0:03:32police Scotland say if you can avoid travelling this morning, you should

0:03:32 > 0:03:35do so. Ian Palmer, BBC News.

0:03:35 > 0:03:38Let's speak now to Kenneth Anderson, who's been stuck in his car

0:03:38 > 0:03:42on the M74 since 8 o'clock last night.

0:03:42 > 0:03:46Understand you arrived home about ten minutes ago. Tell us about your

0:03:46 > 0:03:54night.It's been absolutely chaotic. We left Bromley at about 12 o'clock

0:03:54 > 0:04:02yesterday and have only just arrived back in Glasgow just now. We

0:04:02 > 0:04:07anticipated about 5:30pm yesterday, not this morning.Tells about the

0:04:07 > 0:04:13conditions. At what point did you think you could be stuck?At about

0:04:13 > 0:04:20eight o'clock yesterday evening, the traffic on the M74 had just gotten

0:04:20 > 0:04:24really bad. It is about eight or nine hours to get moving after that

0:04:24 > 0:04:31point. We were getting little information. We were going to be

0:04:31 > 0:04:34stuck there overnight and even through to now.What did you have

0:04:34 > 0:04:41with you? People say to prepare this -- about this sort of weather, take

0:04:41 > 0:04:46a spade, some food, extra clothing. We had just returned from a

0:04:46 > 0:04:53christening so we had a car full of clothes and our pet dog. She had a

0:04:53 > 0:04:59less than fantastic time.Whether loads of other people on the road?

0:04:59 > 0:05:05Did you stay in the vehicle? What were you told by emergency services?

0:05:05 > 0:05:10We were told nothing other than what we could glean from Twitter.

0:05:10 > 0:05:14Understand mountain rescue was out but we never saw them. As the other

0:05:14 > 0:05:21motorists, we only spoke to one of them. Plenty of cars driving up the

0:05:21 > 0:05:24hard shoulder. We never wanted to leave the vehicle for fear of

0:05:24 > 0:05:31collision.I am glad the dog is OK as well. She is glad to be back in

0:05:31 > 0:05:37her own bed. Get some sleep. So many stories of people stuck out there.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40The Met Office has issued warnings for most of the country,

0:05:40 > 0:05:43with many areas at risk of snow, ice or wind.

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Carol has the latest.

0:05:46 > 0:05:47We have seen

0:05:47 > 0:05:50We have seen a lot of snow as we have been hearing through yesterday

0:05:50 > 0:05:56and overnight. These are the kind of depths. The Southern uplands, 37

0:05:56 > 0:06:03they -- 37 centimetres.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06they -- 37 centimetres. A lot of snow around. What's been happening

0:06:06 > 0:06:10is it's been blowing because it's been snow windy so there are snow

0:06:10 > 0:06:17drifts. Also blizzard conditions. Treacherous. Add in the risk of ice

0:06:17 > 0:06:22again. That is another hazard to watch out for. What you will find is

0:06:22 > 0:06:26the wind will slowly ease in the wintry showers will not be as heavy

0:06:26 > 0:06:31and Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. But later on

0:06:31 > 0:06:36today, another area of low pressure and that will introduce heavy rain

0:06:36 > 0:06:41as it crosses the UK, especially in the south. It will be preceded by a

0:06:41 > 0:06:47spell of heavy snow across Northern Ireland and northern England and

0:06:47 > 0:06:53southern and central Scotland. It will be very windy across the South.

0:06:53 > 0:06:58And ice risk. Not out of the woods yet. If you are travelling, do take

0:06:58 > 0:06:58extra care.

0:06:58 > 0:07:03yet. If you are travelling, do take extra care. You will be here later

0:07:03 > 0:07:10see you got a busy morning. Thank you. I was coming from Sheffield. It

0:07:10 > 0:07:15was seriously slippery on the roads. Send us those pictures. The number

0:07:15 > 0:07:27below. Who knew we had a WhatsApp number.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44If you have friends stuck there as well, ask them to get in touch with

0:07:44 > 0:07:47us as well.

0:07:47 > 0:07:51More nurses left the health service in England last year than joined -

0:07:51 > 0:07:54the first time in 5 years that there's been a net

0:07:54 > 0:07:55reduction in staff.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58BBC analysis of NHS data found that just over 33,000 nurses left

0:07:58 > 0:08:00the service - 3,000 more than signed up.

0:08:00 > 0:08:03The Royal College of Nursing says experienced staff are leaving

0:08:03 > 0:08:05because they're demoralised, as our health correspondent

0:08:05 > 0:08:09Dominic Hughes reports.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13Nursing is a profession under pressure. Now a new analysis of

0:08:13 > 0:08:18nurses working in the NHS in England shows a worrying number choosing to

0:08:18 > 0:08:23leave the profession. Last year, more than 33,000 nurses walked away

0:08:23 > 0:08:27from their health service jobs. That's a 20% rise compared to four

0:08:27 > 0:08:31years ago and those leaving outnumber those joining. One in four

0:08:31 > 0:08:37of those leaving are relatively young, under 30. This has

0:08:37 > 0:08:41potentially serious implications for a sustainable profession.Unless we

0:08:41 > 0:08:47can improve the number of nurses there to support the new ones coming

0:08:47 > 0:08:50in, it becomes a continuous cycle where people will not want to say

0:08:50 > 0:08:55because they have not got the support within the workplace.

0:08:55 > 0:09:00Ministers in England say more nurses are working in the NHS today than

0:09:00 > 0:09:042010 and they have launched a programme to help organisations keep

0:09:04 > 0:09:14hold of

0:09:16 > 0:09:18hold of experienced and highly skilled staff but retaining nurses

0:09:18 > 0:09:22is a problem across the UK and the pressures of a tough winter on an

0:09:22 > 0:09:25already stretched health service will not help. Dominic Hughes, BBC

0:09:25 > 0:09:29News.

0:09:29 > 0:09:34Early this week, a coroner ruled that Poppi Worthington was sexually

0:09:34 > 0:09:42assaulted by her father.

0:09:42 > 0:09:44assaulted by her father. The prosecution service says it will

0:09:44 > 0:09:46look carefully at the judgement along with Cumbria police.

0:09:46 > 0:09:50More details have emerged of the final days of construction

0:09:50 > 0:09:53giant Carillion in a document put together by the company's chief

0:09:53 > 0:09:55executive as he prepared to declare the firm insolvent.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58More details have emerged of the final days of construction

0:09:58 > 0:10:01giant Carillion in a document put together by the company's chief

0:10:01 > 0:10:08executive as he prepared to declare the firm insolvent.

0:10:08 > 0:10:15It is part of this insolvency process. They started talking to the

0:10:15 > 0:10:20government in October about the concerns they had about money. The

0:10:20 > 0:10:24banks wanted their money back and Carillion were struggling because

0:10:24 > 0:10:28they did not have enough cash in the pot to do that. They were having

0:10:28 > 0:10:33these ongoing talks throughout November, December that at the end

0:10:33 > 0:10:37of December, on the 31st, they put in a formal request for a rescue

0:10:37 > 0:10:41plan. What they wanted them to do was give a guarantee for four months

0:10:41 > 0:10:46after that. That they would guarantee the payments they are the

0:10:46 > 0:10:47bank. If they couldn't

0:10:47 > 0:10:48afford to give the

0:10:48 > 0:10:50banks of the

0:10:50 > 0:10:53money, the government would put them back. They

0:10:53 > 0:11:03also wanted to defer how... Obviously there is lots of questions

0:11:03 > 0:11:07in terms of whether we should have done that. The government said they

0:11:07 > 0:11:12had to be liquidated. Some people have been asking me, why couldn't

0:11:12 > 0:11:16they have gone into administration and not gone on as normal. They

0:11:16 > 0:11:21didn't have enough money in the pot. We found out from this family had

0:11:21 > 0:11:36£29 million which sounds like a lot of money. There is 1.3 million.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39of money. There is 1.3 million. Was it bad management that got them to

0:11:39 > 0:11:43the point? A lot of people are looking at how much the Chief

0:11:43 > 0:11:48Executive has paid. The gentleman who was the Chief Executive just

0:11:48 > 0:11:54before the profit warning came out, took home 1.5 million in bonuses.

0:11:54 > 0:12:07What does that mean? There is now a formal investigation into Wallabies.

0:12:10 > 0:12:13Police in California have praised the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

0:12:13 > 0:12:16who escaped from the home where she and her 12 siblings

0:12:16 > 0:12:19were allegedly being held captive by their parents.

0:12:19 > 0:12:23David and Louise Turpin - whose children range in age from 2

0:12:23 > 0:12:26to 29 - are due to appear in court later this week,

0:12:26 > 0:12:27charged with torture and child endangerment.

0:12:27 > 0:12:30Investigators say they had had no previous contacts with the couple.

0:12:30 > 0:12:35I haven't been so shocked in my life. It broke my heart and all of

0:12:35 > 0:12:40our hearts and I just pray to God to take care of the kids. She was about

0:12:40 > 0:12:5316 years old. She is 47 now. It's a problem when they left here. I

0:12:53 > 0:13:02didn't even know where she lived. I didn't have a name that could

0:13:02 > 0:13:09attract anything. I hope and I do care who knows. I hope they

0:13:09 > 0:13:22prosecute them. Even if she is my niece.

0:13:23 > 0:13:23niece. God

0:13:23 > 0:13:27Donald Trump has been advised to eat a lower fat diet and take more

0:13:27 > 0:13:29exercise, after his first medical check-up in office.

0:13:29 > 0:13:31However the White House doctor says the President

0:13:31 > 0:13:33who's 71 is generally in excellent health

0:13:33 > 0:13:39and that he performed well in cognitive tests.

0:13:40 > 0:13:44I've gotten to know him pretty well. I had no concerns about his

0:13:44 > 0:13:51cognitive ability or his neurological functions. I was not

0:13:51 > 0:13:55going to do a cognitive exam. I had no intention of doing one. The

0:13:55 > 0:13:59reason we did the cognitive assessment. The President didn't ask

0:13:59 > 0:14:04me. He came to me and said is there something we can do or some kind of

0:14:04 > 0:14:13screening we can do to assess my cognitive ability.

0:14:13 > 0:14:18We have got and we left it in the office, we actually have got, which

0:14:18 > 0:14:23is really interesting, some parts of those cognitive tests. He got 30 out

0:14:23 > 0:14:29of 30. It didn't strike me as that difficult. The sort of like an onset

0:14:29 > 0:14:40dementia test. A lion, a camel, that sort of thing. We will show you.I'm

0:14:40 > 0:14:44sure there is some kind of science behind that. My two-year-old can

0:14:44 > 0:14:50identify a rhinoceros.

0:14:50 > 0:14:54identify a rhinoceros.I'm not saying my two-year-old is fit to be

0:14:54 > 0:14:59president.I'm talking about video assistant refereeing again. Lastly,

0:14:59 > 0:15:06we were talking about something that was used. It was used to determine

0:15:06 > 0:15:12whether a goal was offside. Actually a goal was judged to be on side.

0:15:29 > 0:15:31History was made in English football last night.

0:15:31 > 0:15:34A first goal awarded by the video assistant referee as Leicester City

0:15:34 > 0:15:37knocked Fleetwood Town out of the FA Cup.

0:15:37 > 0:15:38Britain's Kyle Edmund has reached the third

0:15:38 > 0:15:41round of the Australian Open for the first time.

0:15:41 > 0:15:43The British number two beat Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan

0:15:43 > 0:15:44in straight sets.

0:15:44 > 0:15:46Edmund goes on to face world number

0:15:48 > 0:15:50World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and fellow world

0:15:50 > 0:15:53champion Joseph Parker have come face to face in Cardiff.

0:16:14 > 0:16:21A lot going on with the weather.A hectic start.

0:16:21 > 0:16:25A lot going on with the weather.A hectic start.There is a lot going

0:16:25 > 0:16:37on. The snow. This has been updated in the last few minutes. 39

0:16:37 > 0:16:44centimetres in Eskdalemuir.

0:16:44 > 0:16:48centimetres in Eskdalemuir. If you are travelling, needless to say,

0:16:48 > 0:16:53there could be disruption, and are already has been. There is the

0:16:53 > 0:16:58additional hazard of ice. It has been gusty overnight. On the tops of

0:16:58 > 0:17:05the hills and mountains, blizzard conditions. Through the next few the

0:17:05 > 0:17:12wind will slowly start to come down. Snow showers in Scotland and

0:17:12 > 0:17:19Northern Ireland and even northern England. South of

0:17:26 > 0:17:28England. South of that, a quieter picture. Cold. Sunshine from the

0:17:28 > 0:17:31word go. Showers in the south, mostly rain. Heavy ones could be he

0:17:31 > 0:17:38ill and sleet. Windy, but not as windy. A lot of sunshine further

0:17:38 > 0:17:45south. Feeling nice. Temperatures, nothing to write home about. In the

0:17:45 > 0:17:52wind, generally cold. The next area of low pressure coming our way. It

0:17:52 > 0:17:56is deepening across the Atlantic, bringing a combination of rain,

0:17:56 > 0:18:03snow, and strong winds, gales, in fact. Through the evening, here it

0:18:03 > 0:18:09comes, pushing in towards the west. It starts at 8pm. Snow in Northern

0:18:09 > 0:18:15Ireland. Most in the hills. Most in the north. Not all of Northern

0:18:15 > 0:18:22Ireland will see snow. Hill snow in Wales. With the graphics you can see

0:18:22 > 0:18:25the heavy snow pushing across northern England and southern

0:18:25 > 0:18:29Scotland, possibly as far north as the Central Lowlands. We could be

0:18:29 > 0:18:38looking at it

0:18:38 > 0:18:40looking at it falling to Blackpool. Heavy rain falling quickly. Don't

0:18:40 > 0:18:51forget, strong winds.

0:18:51 > 0:18:53forget, strong winds. Perhaps 50 miles per hour inland. More than

0:18:53 > 0:18:59that around exposed coasts. Tomorrow morning, again, the risk of ice on

0:18:59 > 0:19:01untreated surfaces. Possible disruption if travelling because of

0:19:01 > 0:19:06this combination. Take it easy. Tomorrow morning, not dissimilar to

0:19:06 > 0:19:12today. We lose the centre of low pressure quickly and behind that,

0:19:12 > 0:19:16sunshine and showers. Some of them will be wintry in nature, especially

0:19:16 > 0:19:22in the north and the west. At least there will be sunshine. A lot going

0:19:22 > 0:19:30on with the weather, Dan and Lou. There really is. We will let you

0:19:30 > 0:19:33have a cup of tea.

0:19:33 > 0:19:39There really is. We will let you have a cup of tea.

0:21:48 > 0:21:58we could get it to.

0:22:19 > 0:22:37Merci.There you go. Tried his best. Running out of time. This is a lad

0:22:37 > 0:22:40called John, a Carpenter, who decided his fiancee had a better

0:22:40 > 0:22:49time

0:22:49 > 0:22:52time running a nail salon, and retrained as a nail technician, and

0:22:52 > 0:22:56is making less money, but is more happy.Is Arsene Wenger losing it?

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Alexis Sanchez perhaps is going to Manchester United. Many people in

0:22:59 > 0:23:06the papers saying it is proof Arsene Wenger is no longer in control at

0:23:06 > 0:23:13Arsenal and should go.If you have watched Breakfast for a while, I am

0:23:13 > 0:23:28biased. Labradors are apparently the best dog in the world. I have two.

0:23:31 > 0:23:33best dog in the world. I have two. I love Waffle and Ruby. They are both

0:23:33 > 0:23:37my children and I love them equally. You have the two best dogs in the

0:23:37 > 0:23:37country, then.

0:23:37 > 0:23:41Donald Trump has been given a clean bill of health by his doctor

0:23:41 > 0:23:43following his first medical as Commander-in-Chief.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46Dr Ronny Jackson said the President was in good shape for his age,

0:23:46 > 0:23:49but could benefit from a lower-fat diet and more exercise.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52He also said he had "no concerns" about Mr Trump's cognitive ability.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55The examination also flagged up the medication that the President

0:23:55 > 0:23:57takes, including a drug to combat hair loss,

0:23:57 > 0:24:05and a daily aspirin.

0:24:07 > 0:24:10Let's speak now to James Norton, former Deputy Assistant Secretary

0:24:10 > 0:24:12at the Department of Homeland Security under George W

0:24:12 > 0:24:14Bush.

0:24:14 > 0:24:17Good morning. It seems extraordinary that president has to reveal

0:24:17 > 0:24:23personal details. What is the purpose?It was extraordinary to

0:24:23 > 0:24:30have the Admiral speaking on behalf of the president. Normally you get a

0:24:30 > 0:24:35simple statement describing the president's condition. I think this

0:24:35 > 0:24:39White House in particular in the last 12 months has struggled with

0:24:39 > 0:24:46credibility. I think President Trump has been criticised for his tweets

0:24:46 > 0:24:52and the way in which they come out. They are trying to knock down this

0:24:52 > 0:25:01story, showing his physical and mental health are both OK. There has

0:25:01 > 0:25:04been a lot of conjecture about his mental health. They wanted to

0:25:04 > 0:25:11address that issue today.We have a copy of the Montreal cognitive

0:25:11 > 0:25:19assessment. Looking at it, it seems extraordinary that he is having to

0:25:19 > 0:25:27identify the difference between a lion, rhino, and a camel. Will it do

0:25:27 > 0:25:32what is intended?It will provide some cover in the sense that this

0:25:32 > 0:25:38was a big story. There were many stories about his mental capacity

0:25:38 > 0:25:43and tweets and things he has done. I think it has helped them move the

0:25:43 > 0:25:47ball a bit and get away from physical and mental health, at least

0:25:47 > 0:25:52for the time being. It is possible if the tweaks later on today we come

0:25:52 > 0:25:58back to this conversation. -- he tweets. But it has provided cover.

0:25:58 > 0:26:04So many issues are going on right now that I am sure we will move onto

0:26:04 > 0:26:11the next issue quickly I understand some presidents had serious issue is

0:26:11 > 0:26:19not made public after these. Absolutely. -- issues. There have

0:26:19 > 0:26:25been many, including some of the first residents, not to mention

0:26:25 > 0:26:29Roosevelt and President Kennedy, they had serious illnesses that were

0:26:29 > 0:26:38not disclosed. We now have a 24/7 news cycle. Everyone wants to know a

0:26:38 > 0:26:44lot of information. It has become very part is in in Washington and

0:26:44 > 0:26:47the health of the president has become a political issue. --

0:26:47 > 0:26:53partisan. It has become more of an issue than the past.Looking at this

0:26:53 > 0:26:59test again, it is particular, specifically for dementia patients.

0:26:59 > 0:27:08Yes. From what I understand from the doctor, it is a test he requested.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Donald Trump watches the news quite a bit and was keenly aware of the

0:27:11 > 0:27:18criticism he was getting. He went out of his way to get this test

0:27:18 > 0:27:25taken made the decision to have the doctor discussed the test. --

0:27:25 > 0:27:31discuss. It seems like people they had to get that out of the way.--

0:27:31 > 0:27:39like a plan they had.

0:27:39 > 0:27:48We find it difficult to read that clock, it is so far away.

0:27:48 > 0:27:50clock, it is so far away. It is 6:27. Apparently it is being

0:27:50 > 0:27:57rebooted.Apparently the

0:27:57 > 0:27:59rebooted.Apparently the president had to draw a clock at ten past 11.

0:27:59 > 0:31:20Time to get the news, travel, and

0:31:20 > 0:31:27Saturday. A frosty start on Sunday is likely.

0:31:27 > 0:31:29I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

0:31:29 > 0:31:30in half an hour.

0:31:30 > 0:31:32Now, though, it's back to the BBC Breakfast sofa.

0:31:32 > 0:31:33Now, though, it's back to the BBC Breakfast sofa.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35Bye for now.

0:31:35 > 0:31:38Hello this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41We'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment,

0:31:41 > 0:31:42but also on Breakfast this morning.

0:31:42 > 0:31:46It's as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Now a new minister has been appointed to help the 9 million

0:31:49 > 0:31:52people affected by loneliness.

0:31:52 > 0:31:55It's as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

0:31:55 > 0:31:59Now a new minister has been appointed to help the 9 million

0:31:59 > 0:32:00people affected by loneliness.

0:32:00 > 0:32:01We'll speak to her shortly.

0:32:01 > 0:32:03Its collapse has left an estimated 30,000 suppliers

0:32:03 > 0:32:05and subcontractors out of pocket.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07So why was Carillion sitting on so many unpaid invoices?

0:32:07 > 0:32:10Steph will explore the issue of late payments.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13I felt like I was actually doing something useful and doing it well.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15Marking 100 years of the Royal Air

0:32:15 > 0:32:15Force.

0:32:15 > 0:32:18We'll hear from the last surviving British member of the Dambusters,

0:32:18 > 0:32:21as the RAF prepares to reform its most famous squadron.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23Here's a summary of today's main

0:32:23 > 0:32:28stories from BBC News.

0:32:28 > 0:32:33Snow and ice are causing serious problems on roads across Scotland,

0:32:33 > 0:32:35Northern Ireland and northern England with drivers stranded on

0:32:35 > 0:32:45long queues on the 74 motorway. Rescue teams are helping motorists

0:32:45 > 0:32:50and people in Dumfries & Galloway are being advised not to drive. Snow

0:32:50 > 0:32:54has also caused problems forcing schools to close. We earlier spoke

0:32:54 > 0:33:01to a driver who. In his car all night.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04We were told nothing other than what we could

0:33:04 > 0:33:05glean from Twitter.

0:33:05 > 0:33:08I understand mountain rescue was out but we never saw them.

0:33:08 > 0:33:11As the other motorists, we only spoke to one of them.

0:33:11 > 0:33:13Plenty of cars driving up the hard shoulder.

0:33:13 > 0:33:18We never wanted to leave the vehicle for fear of collision.

0:33:18 > 0:33:21More nurses left the health service in England last year than joined -

0:33:21 > 0:33:24the first time in 5 years that there's been a net

0:33:24 > 0:33:29reduction in staff.

0:33:29 > 0:33:32BBC analysis of NHS data found that just over 33,000 nurses left

0:33:32 > 0:33:34the service - 3,000 more than signed up.

0:33:34 > 0:33:37The Royal College of Nursing says experienced staff are leaving

0:33:37 > 0:33:38because they're demoralised.

0:33:38 > 0:33:40NHS England's Chief Nursing Officer says despite pressures,

0:33:40 > 0:33:48front line staff are still providing good care.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55There are the places that we know people are staying despite those

0:33:55 > 0:33:59pressures because they know the care they give is fantastic, they are

0:33:59 > 0:34:02working under enormous pressure, absolutely. The challenges over the

0:34:02 > 0:34:06past few months in particular have been significant. Probably more than

0:34:06 > 0:34:10most of them have ever seen but they are still in, they are still

0:34:10 > 0:34:12working, they are still providing good care.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15Police in California have praised the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

0:34:15 > 0:34:18who escaped from the home where she and her 12 siblings

0:34:18 > 0:34:21were allegedly being held captive by their parents.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Police in California have praised the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

0:34:24 > 0:34:27who escaped from the home where she and her 12 siblings

0:34:27 > 0:34:32were allegedly being held captive by their parents.

0:34:32 > 0:34:35David and Louise Turpin - whose children range in age from 2

0:34:35 > 0:34:38to 29 - are due to appear in court later this week,

0:34:38 > 0:34:40charged with torture and child endangerment.

0:34:40 > 0:34:44Investigators say they had had no previous contacts with the couple.

0:34:44 > 0:34:46I haven't been so shocked in my life.

0:34:46 > 0:34:50It broke my heart and all of our hearts and I just pray to God

0:34:50 > 0:34:55they take care of the kids.

0:34:55 > 0:34:59I hope they prosecute her to the full extent of the law, even though

0:34:59 > 0:35:04she is my niece, because those kids don't deserve that.

0:35:04 > 0:35:08Donald Trump has been advised to eat a lower fat diet and take more

0:35:08 > 0:35:10exercise, after his first medical check-up in office.

0:35:10 > 0:35:13However the White House doctor says the President -

0:35:13 > 0:35:16who's 71 - is generally in excellent health and that he performed well

0:35:16 > 0:35:17in cognitive tests.

0:35:17 > 0:35:20The Bayeux Tapestry is to return to Britain for the first time

0:35:20 > 0:35:23since it was made in the 11th century.

0:35:23 > 0:35:25The 70m-long embroidery, which tells the story of the Battle

0:35:25 > 0:35:29of Hastings, has been kept in France for the last 950 years but will go

0:35:29 > 0:35:32on display in Britain after months of talks.

0:35:32 > 0:35:34The BBC understands that French President Emmanuel Macron

0:35:34 > 0:35:38will confirm the loan when he meets Theresa May tomorrow.

0:35:38 > 0:35:42Should we just quickly tell you about what is going on. Police

0:35:42 > 0:35:48Scotland has told us in the last few moments, they are having problems on

0:35:48 > 0:35:53the 74 between junctions 15 and nine. Many people were still stuck

0:35:53 > 0:35:59there. Vehicles still stuck from Junction 12 to Junction 9.

0:35:59 > 0:36:04One lane opened northbound but they will close that soon. Quite a bit of

0:36:04 > 0:36:08detail there for you and we will have a full update with Carol on the

0:36:08 > 0:36:12weather situation because there is snow for many parts of the UK.

0:36:12 > 0:36:17Outside, it is all right. It's totally fine. Coming home from

0:36:17 > 0:36:23Sheffield was a bit brutal.We are talking about the video assistant

0:36:23 > 0:36:27referee because he was actually used properly and could determine if the

0:36:27 > 0:36:34goal was on side of the first time. Let's have a look at how it panned

0:36:34 > 0:36:41out. This is Leicester and Fleetwood.

0:36:41 > 0:36:44Fleetwood. No problems there are all.

0:36:44 > 0:36:47Kelechi Iheanacho put Leicester 1 nil ahead against the League One

0:36:47 > 0:36:48side at the King Power.

0:36:48 > 0:36:50And then came his second,

0:36:50 > 0:36:53at first ruled offside by the linesman, referred to the VAR

0:36:53 > 0:37:01and after careful consideration he was judged to have been onside.

0:37:02 > 0:37:07We were a lot better obviously on the first leg, we knew that we had

0:37:07 > 0:37:11to perform a lot better and be a bit more professional on the pitch. We

0:37:11 > 0:37:15have done that tonight, got the result and this man has got the

0:37:15 > 0:37:18goals and it shows that VAR does work.

0:37:18 > 0:37:21There were no upsets in any of last night's other four replays.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24West Ham were taken to extra time by League One Shrewsbury,

0:37:24 > 0:37:26but the Premier League side made it through.

0:37:26 > 0:37:28Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday and Reading are also

0:37:28 > 0:37:32through to the fourth round.

0:37:32 > 0:37:34World heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua and fellow world

0:37:34 > 0:37:37champion Joseph Parker have come face to face in Cardiff.

0:37:37 > 0:37:39There is some flash photography coming up.

0:37:39 > 0:37:42They will meet in a heavyweight unification clash at the end

0:37:42 > 0:37:44of March in the Welsh capital.

0:37:44 > 0:37:47The fight will unify Joshua's WBA and IBF belts with Parker's WBO

0:37:47 > 0:37:51title, and Joshua says he needs to box intelligently to beat him.

0:37:51 > 0:37:56He hasn't got that, I want to climb back up the mountain, because at the

0:37:56 > 0:38:00moment is sitting on top of it but he has the lion 's mentality that

0:38:00 > 0:38:04anybody climbing up it, he wants to kick back down. Let's say I'm a

0:38:04 > 0:38:07level below him, I have to be strategic. By facing head-on, it

0:38:07 > 0:38:15will be a clash of the Titans that if I get is a tension that way and

0:38:15 > 0:38:19come here and bank amount from the right, he is not going to see him

0:38:19 > 0:38:21coming.

0:38:21 > 0:38:23Ronnie O'Sullivan rattled through his first round match

0:38:23 > 0:38:27at the Masters snooker allowing Marco Fu to pot only 8 balls in a 6

0:38:27 > 0:38:28frames

0:38:28 > 0:38:29to nil thrashing.

0:38:29 > 0:38:31O'Sullivan's won this tournament a record seven times.

0:38:31 > 0:38:34And he made three century breaks in the first four frames in a match

0:38:34 > 0:38:38that only lasted just over an hour and a half at Alexandra

0:38:38 > 0:38:38Palace.

0:38:38 > 0:38:43Amazingly Ronnie reckoned he's wasn't at his best.

0:38:43 > 0:38:47I have a virus or something and I just felt very dizzy and I felt sort

0:38:47 > 0:38:52of... Really? You looked in good form. I just planned off instinct,

0:38:52 > 0:38:57don't think, just pot balls but really struggling over the last 56

0:38:57 > 0:39:01days.Have you been struggling with illness? No, I've just been feeling

0:39:01 > 0:39:06dizzy.You couldn't give it to me? Maybe a lack of magnesium I was

0:39:06 > 0:39:10told, I have been eating well for the last few months.

0:39:10 > 0:39:12Britain's Kyle Edmund has reached the third

0:39:12 > 0:39:14round of the Australian Open for the first time.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17The British number two beat Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan

0:39:17 > 0:39:18in straight sets.

0:39:18 > 0:39:21Edmund goes on to face world number 61 Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia

0:39:21 > 0:39:22next.

0:39:22 > 0:39:27Rafa Nadal is on court right now against Florian Mayer.

0:39:27 > 0:39:31Coverage of that and all the action, including a hard fought victory

0:39:31 > 0:39:39for number two seed Caroline Wozniacki,

0:39:39 > 0:39:42is on Five Live Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Where you can also see pictures of a confused Roger Federer.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47He's having a day off today but yesterday,

0:39:47 > 0:39:50after reaching the second round, had to face some tough questions

0:39:50 > 0:39:53from American actor Will Ferrell, in the guise of character

0:39:53 > 0:39:57Ron Burgundy from the film Anchorman.

0:39:57 > 0:40:02Tonight you seemed like a gazelle out there on the court. Would you

0:40:02 > 0:40:13describe your game as a silky gazelle?Maybe. Maybe not.Don't

0:40:13 > 0:40:22they get eaten at the end? Not if they are fast enough.

0:40:22 > 0:40:25they are fast enough.Isn't it the other guy who does the sport in

0:40:25 > 0:40:34anchorman? Brick. That is a better interview than Brick could manage.

0:40:34 > 0:40:38It's a problem we have returned to many times on Breakfast -

0:40:38 > 0:40:40loneliness and the growing issue of social isolation.

0:40:40 > 0:40:44Experts have told us how bad it can be for our health and we've also

0:40:44 > 0:40:47looked at some of the innovativeNow the government has accepted

0:40:47 > 0:40:50the scale of the problem and is launching a national strategy.

0:40:50 > 0:40:53It will be led by minister Tracey Crouch, who joins us

0:40:53 > 0:41:01from our Westminster studio. solutions out there.

0:41:06 > 0:41:10Thank you for joining us from Westminster. The government is

0:41:10 > 0:41:13recognising the scale of this problem but has it been backed up by

0:41:13 > 0:41:19actual policy?Absolutely. I'm proud to have been appointed the minister

0:41:19 > 0:41:23the loneliness to tackle this problem that we face, not just on

0:41:23 > 0:41:29this occasion but many times before. We know there is a real impact of

0:41:29 > 0:41:34social isolation and loneliness on people, their physical and mental

0:41:34 > 0:41:39well-being. And who want to tackle this challenge. It's going to be

0:41:39 > 0:41:44huge. I have been given the role of working across government,

0:41:44 > 0:41:47businesses, community organisations and charities, to tackle this

0:41:47 > 0:41:52challenge.This is something we speak about regularly and something

0:41:52 > 0:41:57people would feel quite deeply and passionately about. Will you get

0:41:57 > 0:42:03extra financial support from the Chancellor?We have said we will set

0:42:03 > 0:42:10up a new innovation fund to help tackle this solution. How big? Many

0:42:10 > 0:42:14millions of pounds but who don't know the precise figure and that is

0:42:14 > 0:42:18the reason, the commission which has done excellent work on

0:42:18 > 0:42:23recommendations, wants to help us design the fund said in a process,

0:42:23 > 0:42:27we will come to a figure but it will not be one fund, there are others

0:42:27 > 0:42:33out there. And the thing to remember is, we will be working across

0:42:33 > 0:42:36government and each government department has funds to tackle the

0:42:36 > 0:42:40issues said this is a real opportunity to get to grips with

0:42:40 > 0:42:43this problem and it's not just within the elderly, it's an issue

0:42:43 > 0:42:48which has talked about a lot, but there are other age groups, other

0:42:48 > 0:42:52groups in society that also face a real challenge of loneliness and

0:42:52 > 0:42:58that is one of the issues we have to get to grips with.Isn't the problem

0:42:58 > 0:43:05that the government, local authority cuts, and Labourites saying half of

0:43:05 > 0:43:09local authorities did not spend anything on loneliness services

0:43:09 > 0:43:14because of cuts to those services? Local authority funding is a

0:43:14 > 0:43:21challenge to the sector. We need to make sure that we do support those

0:43:21 > 0:43:29charities to continue to do their excellent work. But we are looking

0:43:29 > 0:43:34at specific issues around tackling loneliness. Different groups in

0:43:34 > 0:43:39society. A lot of great work going on out there. We need to have a

0:43:39 > 0:43:44holistic look at how we can deal with these issues. This is an

0:43:44 > 0:43:49enormous opportunity to build on the work of Jo Cox and the commission,

0:43:49 > 0:43:55cross-party, across all sectors, to make sure we look at a framework and

0:43:55 > 0:44:00going forward. This will not be a single document something we do over

0:44:00 > 0:44:05the next year, something we really take on and recognise this is a

0:44:05 > 0:44:12generational challenge.Whenever we take on this topic, will they talk

0:44:12 > 0:44:17about things like libraries and day centres which are disappearing. This

0:44:17 > 0:44:24is a financial issue which if those things were there,...We will look

0:44:24 > 0:44:29at how we can address those issues. Those are just parts of that. There

0:44:29 > 0:44:34isn't a single problem or solution. That is one of the reasons why the

0:44:34 > 0:44:38Prime Minister has set the Minister to work across the whole of

0:44:38 > 0:44:42government to make sure we have a joined up approach to this, that we

0:44:42 > 0:44:45do look at some of the issues that we face in different areas of

0:44:45 > 0:44:50society. You have mentioned there will be many more and those are one

0:44:50 > 0:44:55of the challenges we face.There is a story that has been picked up by

0:44:55 > 0:45:01the papers. Your fellow MP Ben Bradley, give the jobless

0:45:01 > 0:45:07vasectomies. This is a blog that he wrote a few years ago and he says he

0:45:07 > 0:45:11has matured a little bit. Doesn't this get the part of the root of the

0:45:11 > 0:45:16problem for Conservative Party politicians, engaging with young

0:45:16 > 0:45:20voters?I don't agree with his comments. He made those comments

0:45:20 > 0:45:27when he was younger. I think that we face challenges, engaging with

0:45:27 > 0:45:35youngsters. I am also engaged in youth policy and working with many

0:45:35 > 0:45:39members of youth groups as I do already to make sure we engage them

0:45:39 > 0:45:42in the democratic process.When you work with those youth groups and

0:45:42 > 0:45:48they tell you about Ben Bradley and those comments, doesn't this hit the

0:45:48 > 0:45:52Tory party exactly where it hurts? You are not appealing to these

0:45:52 > 0:45:59people. When somebody who is set to have a big future in the

0:45:59 > 0:46:04Conservative Party says this, and has to apologise for it, that is

0:46:04 > 0:46:08more weight added to the opinion that you are not serving those

0:46:08 > 0:46:16people?I disagree with you on that.

0:46:16 > 0:46:23We will have to engage with youth, making sure we engage the issues and

0:46:23 > 0:46:30challenges they face in society. Young people are as at risk of

0:46:30 > 0:46:36loneliness and social isolation as the elderly, and I will look at that

0:46:36 > 0:46:39as part of my new role.

0:46:39 > 0:46:40You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:46:40 > 0:46:42The main stories this morning:

0:46:42 > 0:46:48We are looking at the impact of the snow. Good morning.

0:46:48 > 0:46:53We are looking at the impact of the snow. Good morning. We will start by

0:46:53 > 0:47:00looking at the latest snow depths. 39 centimetres of lying snow. That

0:47:00 > 0:47:07is just over 15 inches.

0:47:08 > 0:47:11is just over 15 inches. Some of that will be blown in by strong winds

0:47:11 > 0:47:16overnight.

0:47:19 > 0:47:22overnight. Lots of hazards if travelling this morning. Snow

0:47:22 > 0:47:27showers will continue on and off through the day in Scotland. A risk

0:47:27 > 0:47:34of ice. Strong winds, but they will very slowly ease through the next

0:47:34 > 0:47:41few hours. The wind is slowing down. Northern England, a risk of ice.

0:47:41 > 0:47:47Sunshine. It will go away through the day. Wales and southern England,

0:47:47 > 0:47:53East Anglia, dry weather this morning. It is cold. The risk of

0:47:53 > 0:48:00ice. Showers will be rainy. Late in the day, in heavy showers, you might

0:48:00 > 0:48:11see sleet and hail. Showers persist. Some left in northern England. In

0:48:11 > 0:48:18Northern

0:48:18 > 0:48:20Northern Ireland, easing a touch. 7-8. Feeling cold wherever you are.

0:48:20 > 0:48:25The system behind me is developing in the Atlantic. This area of low

0:48:25 > 0:48:30pressure will bring a combination of rain and gales and snow. If we look

0:48:30 > 0:48:41at it, here it comes from the west. 8pm. Strong winds. Northern Ireland,

0:48:41 > 0:48:50snow in the north. It will be in the hills. Northern Ireland will

0:48:52 > 0:48:56hills. Northern Ireland will not see much in the hills. As we go east,

0:48:56 > 0:48:59heavy snowfall in two northern England and parts of Scotland,

0:48:59 > 0:49:02possibly as far north as the Central Lowlands. This will go through quite

0:49:02 > 0:49:09quickly. This out, rain moving quickly across accompanied by gales.

0:49:09 > 0:49:16-- the south. Inland,

0:49:17 > 0:49:23-- the south. Inland, gales, gusts of wind up to 50 miles per hour. In

0:49:23 > 0:49:29Liverpool, 70 miles per hour. Eastern areas, windy. The threat of

0:49:29 > 0:49:36snow. The coastline, sleet. Not far inland, in the hills, snow.

0:49:36 > 0:49:42Tomorrow, the risk of ice. Many hazards. Some could lead to

0:49:42 > 0:49:49disruption. Snow will blow. The wind will be strong, especially in

0:49:49 > 0:49:52Scotland, as that is where the centre of low pressure is. Tomorrow,

0:49:52 > 0:50:00that is the system. A lot of showers and sunshine. Some of those will be

0:50:00 > 0:50:03wintry, even at lower levels, in parts of Scotland and also Northern

0:50:03 > 0:50:10Ireland. Temperature-wise, feeling cold, especially in the north. 2-3.

0:50:10 > 0:50:17The Channel Islands is the place to be, looking at 11.Police say there

0:50:17 > 0:50:22are still issues, especially on the M74. If you are driving, you need to

0:50:22 > 0:50:32prepare.Definitely. And take its low. Take your winter tyres. They

0:50:32 > 0:50:36could help. Everyone is sensible and knows how to behave.Thank you very

0:50:36 > 0:50:43much.I know you have a busy day and are keeping us right up-to-date.I

0:50:43 > 0:50:49have an emergency flapjack in the glove compartment. That will help

0:50:49 > 0:50:51when you are digging yourself out

0:50:51 > 0:50:51glove compartment. That will help when you are digging yourself out of

0:50:51 > 0:50:56the snow.

0:50:58 > 0:51:04We are looking at why big businesses can get away with things. Many

0:51:04 > 0:51:09people are talking about how on Earth we can get to a point with so

0:51:09 > 0:51:13many suppliers out of pocket, many of them small businesses.Good

0:51:13 > 0:51:14morning.

0:51:14 > 0:51:16It's estimated around 30,000 suppliers and subcontractors

0:51:16 > 0:51:18are still owed money by the construction firm Carillion,

0:51:18 > 0:51:20after it collapsed on Monday.

0:51:20 > 0:51:23This morning, Steph is looking at why some big businesses can get

0:51:23 > 0:51:31away with paying up late.

0:51:35 > 0:51:44For us, generally, we have a few customers who are habitually late.

0:51:44 > 0:51:51Unfortunately, from my point of view, they are large customers. We

0:51:51 > 0:51:55have to make a decision about the value of the customer and whether or

0:51:55 > 0:52:01not the money is safe. Generally speaking, we try and not go down the

0:52:01 > 0:52:04legal route, but if we have to, we have to.

0:52:04 > 0:52:07Alan Laing is MD of Sage UK and Northern Ireland,

0:52:07 > 0:52:10an accounting software firm that works with thousands of small

0:52:10 > 0:52:13businesses and campaigns on late payment.

0:52:13 > 0:52:18Why is this such a problem?They conducted a survey into late

0:52:18 > 0:52:26payments, because customers told us it is an issue. It told us 18% are

0:52:26 > 0:52:31paid late. That is more than any other in the country we surveyed. It

0:52:31 > 0:52:35is a big issue for small business. When we say late, what are we

0:52:35 > 0:52:40talking about? How does it work on average?Some of the small

0:52:40 > 0:52:44businesses we have talked to have not set payment terms upfront, which

0:52:44 > 0:52:49is an issue they need to think about. It can be anything up to 9%

0:52:49 > 0:52:54of invoices never get paid, they are written off. Translate that to the

0:52:54 > 0:53:00world economy, that is, you know, $3 trillion of money not getting paid.

0:53:00 > 0:53:04It has a big impact on small business.What can businesses do?

0:53:04 > 0:53:11The main reason they do this is because 40% said it is because of

0:53:11 > 0:53:14the relationship, they do not want to jeopardise the relationship with

0:53:14 > 0:53:21the supplier, and are not having the discussion. Small businesses are not

0:53:21 > 0:53:26being paid by big business. The government set out a strategy some

0:53:26 > 0:53:31time ago to make sure it is paid on time. All businesses need to be

0:53:31 > 0:53:37responsible and make a cultural change that this is not acceptable.

0:53:37 > 0:53:42It is impacting the productivity of the UK.The companies who are not

0:53:42 > 0:53:47paying, how are they getting away with it? It is hard to understand.

0:53:47 > 0:53:539% never get the money. How do they get away with it?As he said, it is

0:53:53 > 0:53:59difficult to counter. There is the legal route. Is it there in the

0:53:59 > 0:54:02first place? They don't have the resources to follow up. There are

0:54:02 > 0:54:09some good things around. There are industrial strategies. There is a

0:54:09 > 0:54:16great website with information on how you can seek help.As well is

0:54:16 > 0:54:25that, there was a strategy about corrupt payment. Even

0:54:25 > 0:54:27corrupt payment. Even the government sets out to pay small business in

0:54:27 > 0:54:32time.There were regulations put forward on how governments would ask

0:54:32 > 0:54:39companies to register payment. That is a good initiative but has not

0:54:39 > 0:54:43been followed up. Relatively few companies have done it.Will bring

0:54:43 > 0:54:50change given how many companies are affected?It is affecting the UK's

0:54:50 > 0:54:55productivity. It is about businesses having that conversation. It is

0:54:55 > 0:55:01about Britain not liking to talk about money. You have to pay on

0:55:01 > 0:55:10time, because if you do not, you are not a bank, you are not.Thank you.

0:55:10 > 0:55:16We will cover this story for some time. Get in touch with us if you

0:55:16 > 0:55:22have any thoughts or are connected to the story.

0:55:22 > 0:55:34Something different. Sneezing. There was a story about a man who damaged

0:55:34 > 0:55:42himself by blocking his nose while sneezing.There is that old wives

0:55:42 > 0:55:50tale that if you

0:55:50 > 0:55:53tale that if you sneeze while holding your nose, your eyes could

0:55:53 > 0:56:01pop out. We will talk to an expert. That will not happen.

0:56:18 > 0:56:21That will not happen. Bless you everybody. Why do we sneeze? All of

0:56:21 > 0:56:25that. It is the season for sniffles. We should sign a pact to never show

0:56:25 > 0:56:28that again. That was horrible.You have been trying to persuade me not

0:56:28 > 0:56:32to do the silent sneeze.It is impressive. You need to get to know

0:56:32 > 0:59:56Louise to see it. It is impressive. I cannot

0:59:56 > 0:59:58A frosty start on Sunday is likely.

0:59:58 > 1:00:00I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

1:00:00 > 1:00:03in half an hour.

1:00:31 > 1:00:34Hello - this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:00:34 > 1:00:37Hundreds of drivers stranded overnight as heavy snow sweeps

1:00:37 > 1:00:37across the UK.

1:00:37 > 1:00:39Mountain rescue teams are drafted

1:00:39 > 1:00:42in as blizzard conditions leave motorists stuck for up to 8 hours

1:00:42 > 1:00:50on the M74 in Scotland.

1:00:54 > 1:01:00Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England are affected by the

1:01:00 > 1:01:08snow. There is more in the way later on.

1:01:15 > 1:01:16Good morning, it's Wednesday 17th January.

1:01:16 > 1:01:18Also this morning:

1:01:18 > 1:01:23More nurses are quitting the NHS in England than joining.

1:01:23 > 1:01:26Senior nurses warn that too many staff are demoralised by the job.

1:01:26 > 1:01:27Fit for office.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30Donald Trump passes his medical as the White House doctor

1:01:30 > 1:01:34says his "cognitive ability" is normal.

1:01:34 > 1:01:37Carillion owed more than a billion pounds when it went bust -

1:01:37 > 1:01:44but now we didn't even have enough cash for 5% of the bill.

1:01:44 > 1:01:48It owed more than a billion pounds to the bank but when Carillion

1:01:48 > 1:01:50collapsed it had just 29 million left in cash.

1:01:50 > 1:01:58The first goal is awarded by the video assistant referee.

1:02:02 > 1:02:08The last of the dambusters tells about his life in the skies.

1:02:08 > 1:02:09First, our main story.

1:02:09 > 1:02:12Snow and ice are causing serious problems on roads across Scotland,

1:02:12 > 1:02:14Northern Ireland and Northern England, with drivers stranded

1:02:14 > 1:02:16in long queues on the M74 motorway.

1:02:16 > 1:02:18Mountain rescue teams are helping trapped motorists,

1:02:18 > 1:02:26and people in Dumfries and Galloway are being advised not to drive.

1:02:26 > 1:02:28Snow has also caused problems in Northern Ireland,

1:02:28 > 1:02:30forcing schools to close and disrupting public transport.

1:02:30 > 1:02:35Ian Palmer reports.

1:02:35 > 1:02:38Rescuing the drivers trapped in their cars overnight on the main

1:02:38 > 1:02:40motorway between England and Scotland.

1:02:40 > 1:02:42Heavy snow meant treacherous conditions for the emergency

1:02:42 > 1:02:48services on the M74.

1:02:48 > 1:02:51The icy weather kept some motorists in freezing cars for more

1:02:51 > 1:02:52than eight hours.

1:02:52 > 1:02:54Very little has been happening, I'm afraid.

1:02:54 > 1:02:58We've barely moved.

1:02:58 > 1:03:01I'm not that far away from Motherwell still.

1:03:01 > 1:03:08In total, very little movement.

1:03:08 > 1:03:13BM 74 runs from Gretna Green to Cosco. The main problems were from

1:03:13 > 1:03:18Junction 12 to 15 and the wild weather is not going away. The Met

1:03:18 > 1:03:23Office has issued a number of warnings for:

1:03:23 > 1:03:25On the Isle of Skye,

1:03:25 > 1:03:27the main road was closed for several

1:03:27 > 1:03:29hours in both directions by jackknifed lorry.

1:03:29 > 1:03:32Two buses carrying pupils were forced to return to school

1:03:32 > 1:03:40for the night.

1:03:47 > 1:03:51without people hours medical. So quite a long time. We have managed

1:03:51 > 1:03:54to assist people and get fuel back to them but mostly it's been

1:03:54 > 1:04:00checking the welfare of people in our cars.

1:04:00 > 1:04:01Dozens of schools closed

1:04:01 > 1:04:02yesterday across Scotland affecting

1:04:02 > 1:04:03thousands of children.

1:04:03 > 1:04:05But it wasn't all doom and gloom.

1:04:05 > 1:04:08In Selkirk, the scene was worthy of a seasonal postcard with people

1:04:08 > 1:04:10living on higher ground witnessing the heavy snowfall.

1:04:10 > 1:04:16In Dumfries, snowploughs worked around the clock

1:04:16 > 1:04:17to keep motorists moving.

1:04:17 > 1:04:19This was the picture in Glasgow.

1:04:19 > 1:04:23And in Edinburgh, only the most determined ventured out in our cars.

1:04:23 > 1:04:31Gritters have been out through the night to avoid a repeat

1:04:31 > 1:04:34of the problems for drivers on the M74 but Police Scotland say

1:04:34 > 1:04:37if you can avoid travelling this morning, you should do so.

1:04:37 > 1:04:42Ian Palmer, BBC News.

1:04:42 > 1:04:45The Met Office has issued warnings for most of the country,

1:04:45 > 1:04:48with many areas at risk of snow, ice or wind.

1:04:48 > 1:04:56Carol has the latest.

1:05:04 > 1:05:08He and the weather warning expires at eight o'clock settings will

1:05:08 > 1:05:12slowly start to improve. Snow showers across Northern Ireland but

1:05:12 > 1:05:16the intensity of them will ease off on the strength of the wind will

1:05:16 > 1:05:19slowly ease however later on this afternoon, a deep area of low

1:05:19 > 1:05:20pressure

1:05:20 > 1:05:21afternoon, a deep area of low pressure coming in from the Atlantic

1:05:21 > 1:05:26bringing rain, heavy snow and some gales as we go through the latter

1:05:26 > 1:05:31part of this evening. It will be largely rain with hill snow, rain

1:05:31 > 1:05:36with hill snow in Wales but heavy snow across northern England,

1:05:36 > 1:05:44southern and central Scotland. The strongest winds.

1:05:44 > 1:05:52Gusts of 40- 50 miles an hour. If you are in an area with running

1:05:52 > 1:05:58snow, we are looking at lizards, particularly on higher ground. That

1:05:58 > 1:06:03will be gone through the course of tomorrow morning. We are not out of

1:06:03 > 1:06:04the woods just yet.

1:06:04 > 1:06:06Are you waking up to snow this morning?

1:06:06 > 1:06:08Have you been stuck in traffic overnight?

1:06:08 > 1:06:16You can send us your photos and videos to our new WhatsApp

1:06:34 > 1:06:38More nurses left the health service in England last year than joined -

1:06:38 > 1:06:40the first time in 5 years that there's been a net

1:06:40 > 1:06:41reduction in staff.

1:06:41 > 1:06:43Just over 33,000 nurses left the service -

1:06:43 > 1:06:453,000 more than signed up.

1:06:45 > 1:06:48The Royal College of Nursing says more must be done to support younger

1:06:48 > 1:06:50nurses at the start of their careers.

1:06:50 > 1:06:52Let's speak to our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes,

1:06:52 > 1:06:54who's at Birmingham Children's hospital.

1:06:54 > 1:06:56Dominic, what's the current situation, what do these statistics

1:06:56 > 1:06:59Dominic, what's the current situation, what do these statistics

1:06:59 > 1:06:59show us?

1:06:59 > 1:07:06They are worrying. Good morning from Birmingham Children's Hospital. We

1:07:06 > 1:07:10are in Ward 11 which is part of the world-renowned cardiology unit. It

1:07:10 > 1:07:10are in Ward 11 which is part of the world-renowned cardiology unit. It

1:07:10 > 1:07:15is one of the biggest and busiest in the UK. Here they treat children

1:07:15 > 1:07:21from Little baby infant 's right up to adolescence. It's a bit gloomy

1:07:21 > 1:07:27behind me. The award is now beginning to get ready for the next

1:07:27 > 1:07:33day. Why are we here? Today, we are looking at the work of the UK's

1:07:33 > 1:07:41nurses. We asked the NHS to provide as figures on these nurses so we can

1:07:41 > 1:07:45get a snapshot on how the profession is doing as the NHS is quite under a

1:07:45 > 1:07:54bit of stress. All we found is concerning. We found that more than

1:07:54 > 1:07:5733,000 nurses walked away from their health services job in the last

1:07:57 > 1:08:05year. That is a 20% increase compared to the year before. And

1:08:05 > 1:08:09those leaving outnumber those joining and one in four of those

1:08:09 > 1:08:12leaving are relatively young. The Department of Health points out that

1:08:12 > 1:08:16in England certainly, there are more nurses working on hospital wards

1:08:16 > 1:08:21today than there were in 2010 but it's clear the retention of

1:08:21 > 1:08:24qualified and experienced nursing staff is a problem, not just in

1:08:24 > 1:08:31England but right across the UK.

1:08:31 > 1:08:35We will be speaking to a nurse from that hospital later.

1:08:35 > 1:08:38More details have emerged of the final days of construction

1:08:38 > 1:08:41giant Carillion in a document put together by the company's chief

1:08:41 > 1:08:43executive as he prepared to declare the firm insolvent.

1:08:43 > 1:08:46Steph has been looking into this and joins us now.

1:08:46 > 1:08:49So, what more have we learnt about how much trouble Carillion

1:08:49 > 1:08:50was in?

1:08:50 > 1:08:55Yes, because it gives you a real snapshot of what life was like the

1:08:55 > 1:08:58Carillion in the run-up to the mountain Singh they would be

1:08:58 > 1:09:02liquidated. The first big number in all of this is how much money they

1:09:02 > 1:09:07have left on the day that they announced they were going into

1:09:07 > 1:09:11liquidation and its £29 million. That sounds like an awful lot to us

1:09:11 > 1:09:18that if you think the money they owed was over 1.5 billion, this is

1:09:18 > 1:09:23small fry. They couldn't keep the operations running and that is why

1:09:23 > 1:09:27they went into liquidation. There were lots of meetings with the

1:09:27 > 1:09:32government so the Chief Executive has been saying they met in October.

1:09:32 > 1:09:37They met with the government to try and find some way to keep the

1:09:37 > 1:09:41business going and in particular, get the banks off their backs

1:09:41 > 1:09:44because that was the problem. The banks, several banks involved, all

1:09:44 > 1:09:50big High Street names, they were wanting their money back. That all

1:09:50 > 1:09:56came to a head on the 31st of December. They put in a formal

1:09:56 > 1:10:02request to the government which involved them wanting a guarantee

1:10:02 > 1:10:06for four months that the government would cover their payments if they

1:10:06 > 1:10:10couldn't afford to repay the banks. They also wanted to defer their tax

1:10:10 > 1:10:17payments that they owed. The government said no to this. Then,

1:10:17 > 1:10:20following that process, they couldn't continue to run. The banks

1:10:20 > 1:10:24were wanting their money back and they couldn't afford to pay and keep

1:10:24 > 1:10:32up with it. That's when they went into liquidation. The business would

1:10:32 > 1:10:36have to start recouping that money. That's why it went into liquidation.

1:10:36 > 1:10:42They couldn't put it into administration because there wasn't

1:10:42 > 1:10:48enough money in the pot. Since then, lots of questions about how on Earth

1:10:48 > 1:10:53did they ever get to this point where such a huge company, much more

1:10:53 > 1:11:00in the supply chain. Now there is a fast-tracked investigation which is

1:11:00 > 1:11:05not a shock to anyone because people want to know, has there been

1:11:05 > 1:11:11mismanagement?

1:11:11 > 1:11:17mismanagement? I know you will be continuing to talk about it.

1:11:17 > 1:11:20Police in California have praised the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

1:11:20 > 1:11:24who escaped from the home where she and her 12 siblings

1:11:24 > 1:11:28were allegedly being held captive by their parents.

1:11:28 > 1:11:31David and Louise Turpin - whose children range in age from two

1:11:31 > 1:11:34to 29 - are due to appear in court later this week,

1:11:34 > 1:11:36charged with torture and child endangerment.

1:11:36 > 1:11:39Investigators say they had had no previous contacts with the couple.

1:11:39 > 1:11:42Donald Trump has been given a clean bill of health by his doctor,

1:11:42 > 1:11:44following his first medical as commander-in-chief.

1:11:44 > 1:11:47Dr Ronny Jackson said the President was in good shape

1:11:47 > 1:11:49for his age, but could benefit from a lower-fat diet

1:11:49 > 1:11:54and more exercise.

1:11:54 > 1:11:57He also said he had "no concerns" about Mr Trump's cognitive ability.

1:11:57 > 1:11:59The examination also flagged up the medication

1:11:59 > 1:12:01that the President takes, including a drug to combat hair

1:12:01 > 1:12:03loss, and a daily asprin.

1:12:03 > 1:12:06As part of his medical the President took part in a cognitive awareness

1:12:06 > 1:12:10test.

1:12:10 > 1:12:22I think we can show it to you. We both got one here. A scientific test

1:12:22 > 1:12:26called the Montreal scientific cognitive assessment test and

1:12:26 > 1:12:34imagine a lot of people would be looking at this test. It asks some

1:12:34 > 1:12:38questions, and there are a sequence of letters here. You have to tap

1:12:38 > 1:12:46your hand. It's an early onset dementia test, isn't it? 30 out of

1:12:46 > 1:12:4930, which you would hope he would get.

1:12:49 > 1:12:53The Bayeux Tapestry is to return to Britain for the first time

1:12:53 > 1:12:55since it was made in the 11th century.

1:12:55 > 1:12:58The 70m-long embroidery, which tells the story of the Battle

1:12:58 > 1:13:05of Hastings, has been kept in France for the last 950 years but will go

1:13:05 > 1:13:07on display in Britain after months of talks.

1:13:07 > 1:13:14The BBC understands that French President Emmanuel Macron

1:13:14 > 1:13:18will confirm the loan when he meets Theresa May tomorrow.

1:13:18 > 1:13:24It's not a tapestry, it's an embroidery. I have some more Bayeux

1:13:24 > 1:13:26tapestry facts for you later on.

1:13:26 > 1:13:28"A dangerous and downward spiral" -

1:13:28 > 1:13:31that's how nursing leaders have described the news that thousands

1:13:31 > 1:13:33more nurses left the NHS last year than joined.

1:13:33 > 1:13:36BBC analysis of health service data has shown that over

1:13:36 > 1:13:3833,000 walked away from already under-staffed wards.

1:13:38 > 1:13:39Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes has been

1:13:39 > 1:13:47finding out why.

1:13:48 > 1:13:53She became a nurse to help people, excited at the prospect of making a

1:13:53 > 1:13:58difference but in the end, the job overwhelmed Mary Trevelyan.I would

1:13:58 > 1:14:03end up in tears during a shift because there was just so much

1:14:03 > 1:14:07pressure and stress.A never-ending list of things to do. Guilt over not

1:14:07 > 1:14:12having enough time to care for patients, stress leading to

1:14:12 > 1:14:17depression and Mary has had to leave the job she loved.I want to be a

1:14:17 > 1:14:22great nurse and I want to give my patients my best but I feel I can't

1:14:22 > 1:14:26do that at the moment because we are just too short staffed, too busy.

1:14:26 > 1:14:32There are far too many things for us to be doing.We have analysed the

1:14:32 > 1:14:37number of nurses working in the NHS in England. Last year, more than

1:14:37 > 1:14:4233,000 nurses walked away from their health service jobs. That's a 20%

1:14:42 > 1:14:48rise compared to four years ago and those leaving outnumber those

1:14:48 > 1:14:52joining. And almost one in four of those leaving are relatively young,

1:14:52 > 1:14:58under 30. All of this has potentially serious implications for

1:14:58 > 1:15:04a sustainable nursing profession. Unless we can actually improve the

1:15:04 > 1:15:08number of nurses that there to support the new nurses coming in, it

1:15:08 > 1:15:12becomes a continuous vicious cycle where people won't want to stay

1:15:12 > 1:15:17because they've not got the support the workplace.Many nurses are

1:15:17 > 1:15:21thinking about or have already left the profession and let's just one

1:15:21 > 1:15:26reason why so many hospitals are struggling to recruit properly

1:15:26 > 1:15:31trained staff. Yet the government tells us thousands more nurses are

1:15:31 > 1:15:35working in the NHS today than they were in 2010. In order to retain

1:15:35 > 1:15:39staff to keep them on the books, they need to give them new

1:15:39 > 1:15:42opportunities. And that's what nurses like Sarah Dalby are making

1:15:42 > 1:15:48the most of. She is now able to perform surgery thanks to specialist

1:15:48 > 1:15:52training, developing new skills which are taken a long way from the

1:15:52 > 1:15:55traditional norm nursing role.It is always nice to have an option to

1:15:55 > 1:15:59develop into another pathway or opportunity of that's what you want

1:15:59 > 1:16:03to do, it's not for everyone, because nursing is so varied and

1:16:03 > 1:16:08it's so privileged to be a nurse because patients, they are so

1:16:08 > 1:16:11vulnerable and it's certainly challenging at the moment but that

1:16:11 > 1:16:15doesn't take away from what we are doing as a career.Mary has not

1:16:15 > 1:16:19turned her back on nursing altogether. Like some of her

1:16:19 > 1:16:23friends, she is now thinking of working abroad but today's NHS is

1:16:23 > 1:16:26not further and many other nurses appear to be reaching a similar

1:16:26 > 1:16:33conclusion.

1:16:33 > 1:16:40This is a chief nurse. Good morning. Thank you for joining us. You are a

1:16:40 > 1:16:46chief nurse. I understand your nurses are not leaving in the same

1:16:46 > 1:16:54kinds of numbers. Is that the case? That is correct. Good morning. We

1:16:54 > 1:16:59are slightly more fortunate to be in a better position. There are many

1:16:59 > 1:17:05factors. First of all, thank you to the BBC for putting the focus on

1:17:05 > 1:17:09nursing. Everything we said in those interviews, you picked it up.

1:17:09 > 1:17:14Nursing is the best job in the world. After 35 years, I think it is

1:17:14 > 1:17:22the best job in the world. We have to put in a lot of work to make sure

1:17:22 > 1:17:29they stay. There are many factors. It is a complex issue. We need to

1:17:29 > 1:17:34keep them in the job now. Listen to what we have to say. Make sure we

1:17:34 > 1:17:41get them in. We need programmes to get them in.You are correct.

1:17:41 > 1:17:46Talking to anyone treated in the NHS, nurses come up so highly. They

1:17:46 > 1:17:50are well respected and wonderful staff. These are some of the issues.

1:17:50 > 1:17:54One of them we talked about was the guilt from nurses about not having

1:17:54 > 1:18:00enough time to look after patients and do their job. Is that something

1:18:00 > 1:18:07you hear people talk about?Yeah. I think... Now more than ever you see

1:18:07 > 1:18:14on all of the media the NHS is under massive stress. We are in the midst

1:18:14 > 1:18:18of winter and have the flu and people are working incredibly hard.

1:18:18 > 1:18:24We have to look after staff as they work so hard and ask them what we

1:18:24 > 1:18:28can do to help them, involve them in decision-making, make it more

1:18:28 > 1:18:35flexible in how we look at it. Actually, working nights and days,

1:18:35 > 1:18:41we have to say what can we do to be more flexible and keep you in? I

1:18:41 > 1:18:46have these student nurses coming in. I tell them what an amazing job it

1:18:46 > 1:18:53is. We have to talk to them and see what they have to do. Then they will

1:18:53 > 1:18:58come and work for us after training. We need to do that to get them in.

1:18:58 > 1:19:01But when they are down and are having difficult shifts, talk to

1:19:01 > 1:19:07them after those. What was it? What could we do to make it better? How

1:19:07 > 1:19:12can we support you? We know, because all of the research tells us, happy

1:19:12 > 1:19:21staff means happy patients. We have to work with them and work well, and

1:19:21 > 1:19:25listen to them, that is how we will make it better.Have you got the

1:19:25 > 1:19:31resources to bring in that support? OK, so, I think it would be kind of

1:19:31 > 1:19:36easy to blame on resources and money and, don't get me wrong, there is an

1:19:36 > 1:19:40element of that. We know the issues of finance. But what we have to do

1:19:40 > 1:19:45as nurse leaders is look at what we can do. Get active recruitment in.

1:19:45 > 1:19:52At the moment, we are struggling. Nurses have lost their bursary. It

1:19:52 > 1:19:57is hard to get the man when you have to pay £9,000 and have the privilege

1:19:57 > 1:19:58of working nights and

1:19:58 > 1:20:06shifts. -- them in. I have lost mature nurses because they cannot

1:20:06 > 1:20:18afford it. The ones that tend to stay, they are mature nurses. We

1:20:18 > 1:20:22have to find ways to get them in and different ways of working and when

1:20:22 > 1:20:25they are in, work through them.You are clearly incredibly passionate

1:20:25 > 1:20:29about your job, and a breath of fresh air. Thank you indeed for

1:20:29 > 1:20:34talking to us.Thank you. Thank you for giving us the opportunity.Thank

1:20:34 > 1:20:46you very much.Is it wrong but I love her.I don't think you are

1:20:46 > 1:20:52alone in that.She is wonderful. We get repeated messages from everyone

1:20:52 > 1:20:57about how much was that we have for doctors and nurses. We moan about

1:20:57 > 1:21:01the NHS because we are passionate about it and we care about it and it

1:21:01 > 1:21:06means so much to so many people for so many good reasons, and this, her,

1:21:06 > 1:21:11that is one of those reasons.And another favourite of mine is

1:21:11 > 1:21:12that is one of those reasons.And another favourite of mine is Carol.

1:21:12 > 1:21:19Good morning.There is a lot going on with the weather. Look at the

1:21:19 > 1:21:23snow depths.

1:21:23 > 1:21:33Almost 15 inches as the maximum.

1:21:33 > 1:21:41Overnight, we have seen snow and strong winds.

1:21:41 > 1:21:46strong winds. Blizzards on higher routes, and snow. The risk of ice.

1:21:46 > 1:21:52Take care. Listen to the radio station and me. A weather warning

1:21:52 > 1:22:00for Northern Ireland in Scotland for snow and ice. 8pm, snow will still

1:22:00 > 1:22:02fall in Northern Ireland, Scotland, and northern England, but less

1:22:02 > 1:22:09intense. Strong winds overnight low that around we'll ease a touch.

1:22:09 > 1:22:15Showers further south. Fairly rare. However, if you catch one, it could

1:22:15 > 1:22:22be heavy and at lower levels mostly of rain through the day. Some sleet

1:22:22 > 1:22:26and hail. Today and in the next couple of days, strong winds coupled

1:22:26 > 1:22:29with spring tides in the south-western and western areas.

1:22:29 > 1:22:36Large waves crashing on shore. In the south, showers. Sunshine.

1:22:36 > 1:22:41Despite that, cold. The north, snow in Scotland, part of northern

1:22:41 > 1:22:45England, and Northern Ireland as well. It will feel cold here as

1:22:45 > 1:22:55well. Not out of the woods yet. A temporary lull, but the next area is

1:22:55 > 1:23:00coming our way. What it will do is introduce heavy rain, gales, and

1:23:00 > 1:23:05also snow. If we stop this chart at 8pm this evening, you will see rain.

1:23:05 > 1:23:09Snow in Northern Ireland mainly in the hills, more likely in the north,

1:23:09 > 1:23:16but hill snow in Wales. Beyond that into tomorrow morning, look at this,

1:23:16 > 1:23:20the snow turns heavier as it crosses northern England into southern

1:23:20 > 1:23:26Scotland. Possibly far north as the Central Lowlands. The rain rattles

1:23:26 > 1:23:34across England and Wales.

1:23:34 > 1:23:36across England and Wales. Inland, 50 miles per hour. Liverpool could have

1:23:36 > 1:23:4470. The risk of ice tomorrow morning. Early on, if you are

1:23:44 > 1:23:48travelling in the east, you could still see snow in the north-east of

1:23:48 > 1:23:53England and towards Lincolnshire. Indeed, on the coast, sleek. Inland,

1:23:53 > 1:23:59you do not have to go too far inland to see the snow. Further disruption

1:23:59 > 1:24:04caused by those elements tomorrow first thing. Keep in touch. What I

1:24:04 > 1:24:11can tell you is it moves across quite quickly. Sunshine. Still many

1:24:11 > 1:24:15showers coming in from the west, and it will still feel cold. But then,

1:24:15 > 1:24:17it is winter.

1:24:17 > 1:24:20it will still feel cold. But then, it is winter.Good point. Thank you.

1:24:20 > 1:24:29A good warning about that weather all week.

1:24:29 > 1:24:32David and Louise Turpin projected an image of a picture-perfect family

1:24:32 > 1:24:35on social media, posting photos of themselves with their 13

1:24:35 > 1:24:37children, smiling as they celebrated birthdays, renewed wedding vows

1:24:37 > 1:24:39and visited Disneyland together.

1:24:39 > 1:24:41But behind the smiles lay a very different story.

1:24:41 > 1:24:44The couple has been accused of torture and child endangerment

1:24:44 > 1:24:46after their children were found shackled and malnourished

1:24:46 > 1:24:50in their Californian home.

1:24:50 > 1:24:54Thank you for coming in on the programme this morning. Can I ask

1:24:54 > 1:24:59you first of all, and, obviously, this is your line of work but what

1:24:59 > 1:25:02did you think when you heard about the details of this extraordinary

1:25:02 > 1:25:07story?I thought it was horrendous and tragic. It is a bit puzzling it

1:25:07 > 1:25:10could have gone on for such a long time without being identified. The

1:25:10 > 1:25:15key point is they have been identified and they will receive

1:25:15 > 1:25:20rehabilitation and parents will be charged.There is a huge age range.

1:25:20 > 1:25:25The 2-year-old is the youngest, 29 is the oldest. From your experience,

1:25:25 > 1:25:32how are those different ages? How will they process what is going on?

1:25:32 > 1:25:37The two has the best prognosis. They likely have little language

1:25:37 > 1:25:43development at the age of two, so it will be difficult to remember it. It

1:25:43 > 1:25:50is like they will not have memory of it. If they have good care in their

1:25:50 > 1:25:53life, they will have a good prognosis. We do not know how long

1:25:53 > 1:26:02the abuse has been going on for, if it got worse over the years. The 17

1:26:02 > 1:26:13to 2090 roles, they will have difficulty. -- 29-year-olds. The

1:26:13 > 1:26:1717-year-old cried out for help, meaning she knew something was

1:26:17 > 1:26:25wrong.I was looking at the details. Those who are older feel protective

1:26:25 > 1:26:30of each other. How could that manifests?It is normal. They were

1:26:30 > 1:26:38not just be protective, but their parents, primary caregivers, despite

1:26:38 > 1:26:44how bad the treatment was, they will have had experience as prime

1:26:44 > 1:26:49caregivers. They will be treated for malnourishment and psychological

1:26:49 > 1:26:52effects, but they will also be experiencing loss of primary

1:26:52 > 1:26:58caregivers and confusion. They have a difficult road ahead. Of course,

1:26:58 > 1:27:02they may have supported each other through the process. Services will

1:27:02 > 1:27:06consider whether to keep them together and whether, you know, how

1:27:06 > 1:27:13best they will be helped.This must have shocked many people all across

1:27:13 > 1:27:21the world. Is this incredibly rare? It does not seem to be,

1:27:21 > 1:27:25unfortunately. We have cases like this all around the world. Wind that

1:27:25 > 1:27:38springs to mind is to so far it's all.

1:27:38 > 1:27:42all. -- One that springs to mind it Joseph Fritzel. We hear of these

1:27:42 > 1:27:45cases, so it is not unprecedented. The abuse that took place in Austria

1:27:45 > 1:27:55at the

1:28:01 > 1:28:04at the hands of Joseph went on 21 years, very lengthy. The eldest in

1:28:04 > 1:28:09this case is 29 and that could be how long she was abused for.How do

1:28:09 > 1:28:12you keep so many children with such a huge age range together?What an

1:28:12 > 1:28:13extraordinary story.

1:28:13 > 1:28:14Still to come on Breakfast.

1:28:14 > 1:28:182018 marks 100 years of the Royal Air Force. To celebrate, the RAF is

1:28:18 > 1:28:21reforming its most famous squadron. Sophie Raworth can tell us more.

1:34:04 > 1:34:06NHS England's Chief Nursing Officer says despite pressures,

1:34:06 > 1:34:08front line staff are still providing good care.

1:34:08 > 1:34:11There are other places that we know people are staying despite those

1:34:11 > 1:34:14pressures because they know the care they give is fantastic,

1:34:14 > 1:34:16they are working under enormous pressure, absolutely.

1:34:16 > 1:34:19The challenges over the past few months in particular have been

1:34:19 > 1:34:21significant, probably more than most of them have ever seen

1:34:21 > 1:34:24but they are still in, they are still working,

1:36:30 > 1:36:37drink?We had a bottle of sprites that was in the boot.Just one

1:36:37 > 1:36:41bottle between you all night.When you first got stuck, how long did

1:36:41 > 1:36:47you wake and did you see mountain rescue during the night? We saw

1:36:47 > 1:36:53mountain rescue once. It was about four o'clock in the morning. We were

1:36:53 > 1:37:00stuck around about three hours. As you ugly, whether other cars around

1:37:00 > 1:37:10you? Nobody really got out apart from seeing how bad the queue was.

1:37:10 > 1:37:16You are moving now, so how long should this journey have taken you?

1:37:16 > 1:37:2420 minutes. And you are up to six hours. Seven hours, it's been. Were

1:37:24 > 1:37:32you worried overnight?Not really.

1:37:32 > 1:37:35you worried overnight?Not really. I was just kind of hoping to go home.

1:37:35 > 1:37:44I was supposed to be at work.Oh, goodness me. I am sure they will

1:37:44 > 1:37:53realise why you are late. Talking to BBC Breakfast.

1:37:53 > 1:38:00BBC Breakfast. Traffic Scotland has the gritters on the website and they

1:38:00 > 1:38:08are names. The Golden gate gritter. Luke Snow Walker. This is no

1:38:08 > 1:38:18solution. Ayce buster. And my favourite, gritty gritty bang bang.

1:38:18 > 1:38:23Gritty mcvitty is going to be there. The weather has really been

1:38:23 > 1:38:30something out there. Carol has all the details. Jordan Gray, the family

1:38:30 > 1:38:35shared one bottle of spite between them. A 20- minute journey has taken

1:38:35 > 1:38:45her seven hours. Judy Murray has tweeted to say that the gritter

1:38:45 > 1:38:52serving the Dunblane area is called Sir Andy Flurry. It's good fun,

1:39:28 > 1:39:31at first ruled offside by the linesman, referred to the VAR

1:39:31 > 1:39:39and after careful consideration he was judged to have been onside.

1:39:40 > 1:39:46We were a lot better obviously on the first leg,

1:39:46 > 1:39:50we knew that we had to perform a lot better and be a bit

1:39:50 > 1:39:51more professional on the pitch.

1:39:51 > 1:39:55We have done that tonight, got the result and this man has got

1:39:55 > 1:39:59the goals and it shows that VAR does work.

1:39:59 > 1:40:02There were no upsets in any of last night's other four replays.

1:40:02 > 1:40:05West Ham were taken to extra time by League One Shrewsbury,

1:40:17 > 1:40:18frames

1:40:18 > 1:40:23to nil thrashing.

1:40:23 > 1:40:25O'Sullivan's won this tournament a record seven times.

1:40:25 > 1:40:29And he made three century breaks in the first four frames in a match

1:40:29 > 1:40:32that only lasted just over an hour and a half at Alexandra

1:40:32 > 1:40:32Palace.

1:40:32 > 1:40:34Amazingly Ronnie reckoned he's wasn't at his best.

1:40:34 > 1:40:38I have a virus or something and I just felt very dizzy

1:40:38 > 1:40:39and I felt sort of...

1:40:39 > 1:40:39Really?

1:40:39 > 1:40:41You looked in good form.

1:40:41 > 1:40:44I just played off instinct - don't think, just pot balls -

1:40:44 > 1:40:46but really struggling over the last 5, 6 days.

1:40:46 > 1:40:48Have you been struggling with illness?

1:40:48 > 1:40:50No, I've just been feeling dizzy.

1:40:50 > 1:40:51You couldn't give it to me?

1:40:51 > 1:40:53I could do with a few days...

1:40:53 > 1:40:57Maybe a lack of magnesium I was told, but I have been eating

1:40:57 > 1:41:02well for the last few months.

1:41:02 > 1:41:07Lack of magnesium, he needs to eat a banana.

1:41:07 > 1:41:08Britain's Kyle Edmund has reached the third

1:41:08 > 1:41:11round of the Australian Open for the first time.

1:41:11 > 1:41:13The British number two beat Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan

1:41:17 > 1:41:18next.

1:41:18 > 1:41:22Rafa Nadal is on court right now against Leonardo Mayer.

1:41:22 > 1:41:25Coverage of that and all the action, including a hard fought victory

1:41:25 > 1:41:27for number two seed Caroline Wozniacki,

1:41:27 > 1:41:35is on Five Live Sports Extra and the BBC Sport website.

1:41:35 > 1:41:38Where you can also see pictures of a confused Roger Federer.

1:41:38 > 1:41:40He's having a day off today but yesterday,

1:41:40 > 1:41:43after reaching the second round, had to face some tough questions

1:41:43 > 1:41:46from American actor Will Ferrell, in the guise of character

1:41:46 > 1:41:49Ron Burgundy from the film Anchorman.

1:41:49 > 1:41:53Tonight you seemed like a gazelle out there on the court.

1:41:53 > 1:41:58Would you describe your game as a silky gazelle?

1:41:58 > 1:42:00Maybe.

1:42:00 > 1:42:05Maybe not.

1:42:05 > 1:42:09Don't they get eaten at the end?

1:42:09 > 1:42:16Not if they're fast enough.

1:42:16 > 1:42:25Ron Burgundy proving that he is not the sports specialist. We got our

1:42:25 > 1:42:36people mixed up. Champ is the sports guide. Brick is the weatherman.

1:42:36 > 1:42:42Thousands of contractors with the group Carillion are waiting to hear

1:42:42 > 1:42:45on their futures. As we said right when we first

1:42:45 > 1:42:57announced this news. In terms of the business that they do.

1:42:57 > 1:43:04business that they do. That is what they are talking about this morning.

1:43:04 > 1:43:09There are a lot of answered questions of the thousands of people

1:43:09 > 1:43:14who work for them as well. One of those who lost his job on Monday is

1:43:14 > 1:43:18Philip Ellis.Walking to work, thinking you are about to do a days

1:43:18 > 1:43:24work, to be told you laid off. You can't describe how you feel at that

1:43:24 > 1:43:30point in time. Everybody was the same, all scratching their heads.

1:43:30 > 1:43:35What are you going to do next? The only option I've got is to try

1:43:35 > 1:43:44another job. What are my chances?So what are the prospects of a

1:43:44 > 1:43:48construction workers like Philip who found themselves without a job. Tom

1:43:48 > 1:43:53Hadley is from the recruitment and employment generation. Good morning

1:43:53 > 1:44:00to you. What are the prospects to someone like Philip?Are quite good.

1:44:00 > 1:44:07We track the situation and members are saying it's getting harder and

1:44:07 > 1:44:11harder to find staff. There is a big demand for construction workers. One

1:44:11 > 1:44:17of the top three shortage areas is construction. We hopefully can work

1:44:17 > 1:44:23with agencies for the strong demand. When we spoke to Phillip, we found

1:44:23 > 1:44:27out as soon as he lost his job, he went straight on the phone,

1:44:27 > 1:44:32specifically construction ones and they were telling him you are one of

1:44:32 > 1:44:37many from Carillion ringing us. What about in the short-term? That is the

1:44:37 > 1:44:47hard thing. Bills to pay, he will need the money.A further million

1:44:47 > 1:44:52plus in temporary work every single week. It might take time. Recruiters

1:44:52 > 1:44:57will be getting a lot of calls at the moment. It might be they can't

1:44:57 > 1:45:03put you straight into a job but register with them and they will be

1:45:03 > 1:45:06able to give you advice. Where they are going to need staff because a

1:45:06 > 1:45:10lot of these things are going to need to be built. Demand is strong

1:45:10 > 1:45:16in construction as in other sectors. The thing about Carillion, it is a

1:45:16 > 1:45:21company which covers so many different types of jobs.Everything

1:45:21 > 1:45:25from school cooks to cleaners in hospitals. What about the people who

1:45:25 > 1:45:31are working in different areas to worried about job security. It is a

1:45:31 > 1:45:37very fragmented supply chain.In the same way, as we have specialist

1:45:37 > 1:45:41recruitment agencies, we have them in other sectors as well. It could

1:45:41 > 1:45:46be IT and engineering and admin staff. The advice would be to start

1:45:46 > 1:45:50putting some feelers out. Speak to your local job centre all

1:45:50 > 1:45:53recruitment agencies and we work with agencies which is a good

1:45:53 > 1:45:59message, look at what the market is doing but we are also seeing demand

1:45:59 > 1:46:02for staff in many different sectors to this is a difficult time for

1:46:02 > 1:46:05individuals but our message is one of hope, do speak to local

1:46:05 > 1:46:15recruiters. We have a vital recruitment.

1:46:15 > 1:46:20Some of these people could have worked for them for a long time and

1:46:20 > 1:46:26may not have refreshed their CV.A good point. Get advice. Skills of

1:46:26 > 1:46:34all.

1:46:34 > 1:46:38all. -- evolve. They need to freshen up their CV. Recruitment

1:46:38 > 1:46:45professionals can give advice

1:46:51 > 1:46:53professionals can give advice to help them refresh their CV and

1:46:53 > 1:46:57skills and take the next step in their career.We will talk about

1:46:57 > 1:47:00this more. If you have lost your job, if you have been affected, get

1:47:00 > 1:47:07in touch.Thank you.They have been business story of the week. The

1:47:07 > 1:47:12Windsor has

1:47:12 > 1:47:18Windsor has been the weather story of the week. What a picture! --

1:47:18 > 1:47:23winter.Look at the depth of that snow. It was sent to us from the

1:47:23 > 1:47:29highland. Thank you.

1:47:34 > 1:47:37highland. Thank you. The snow depths we have been seeing are on your

1:47:37 > 1:47:39screen. 15 inches!

1:47:39 > 1:47:45we have been seeing are on your screen. 15 inches!Some of that will

1:47:45 > 1:47:55have been

1:48:01 > 1:48:03have been blowing, it drifts, in overnight. Things improving. Ice,

1:48:03 > 1:48:06further disruption still possible. You can tell it is an improving

1:48:06 > 1:48:10situation. Further south, the risk of ice. Dry weather. Sunshine. Rain

1:48:10 > 1:48:19possible. You could see sleek and hail. -- sleet. Snow showers in

1:48:19 > 1:48:23Scotland this afternoon. The intensity will not be that severe.

1:48:23 > 1:48:29Not as widespread. Northern Ireland, snow showers fading. Dry conditions.

1:48:29 > 1:48:35More coming your way. Northern England, again, less intense

1:48:35 > 1:48:38widespread snow showers this afternoon. Treacherous conditions

1:48:38 > 1:48:44left over from this morning. South of that, the Midlands, Wales, East

1:48:44 > 1:48:48Anglia, southern counties generally, lots of sunshine to be feeling cold.

1:48:48 > 1:48:57Showers. Large waves in the west. What we do have coming our way is a

1:48:57 > 1:49:02new area of low pressure. Developing in the Atlantic get the moment. I

1:49:02 > 1:49:08stopped this pressure chart at 8pm in the evening to show you what you

1:49:08 > 1:49:12can expect. Snow on the hills of Northern Ireland and mostly in the

1:49:12 > 1:49:17north of Northern Ireland. The same in Wales. Hill snow. Look at the

1:49:17 > 1:49:21isobars. Squeezed together, strengthening wind. Moving that

1:49:21 > 1:49:28chart forward through the rest of the night, the snow gets heavier and

1:49:28 > 1:49:31gets into southern Scotland, possibly as far north as the Central

1:49:31 > 1:49:36Lowlands. Rattling quickly, and so will the rain in Wales and the rest

1:49:36 > 1:49:43of England, driven by gales. Inland, wind, 40- 50 miles per hour. Around

1:49:43 > 1:49:48the coast, 70. The first thing tomorrow morning, snow and strong

1:49:48 > 1:49:54winds in the east. Clearing after that. If you are travelling this

1:49:54 > 1:49:58evening and tomorrow, tonight, I should say, severe gales, snow, and

1:49:58 > 1:50:03the risk of ice. There could be disruption. That will clear rapidly.

1:50:03 > 1:50:07Tomorrow, sunshine and showers. Still wintry in the west, though.

1:50:07 > 1:50:08Thank you very

1:50:08 > 1:50:10Still wintry in the west, though. Thank you very much indeed. Look at

1:50:10 > 1:50:15this.

1:50:15 > 1:50:18It's the most famous flying team in British history.

1:50:18 > 1:50:21Now, almost 75 years after carrying out the daring Dambusters raid,

1:50:21 > 1:50:23the RAF's 617 squadron is being reformed.

1:50:23 > 1:50:25It's to mark 100 years of the Royal British Airforce.

1:50:25 > 1:50:28Let's speak to Sophie Raworth, who's getting a sneak peak

1:50:28 > 1:50:31of the new jets the team will be flying.

1:50:31 > 1:50:33And, Sophie, you have a personal connection with the airforce,

1:50:33 > 1:50:34haven't you?

1:50:34 > 1:50:37It is lovely to see you on Breakfast. You have a personal

1:50:37 > 1:50:49connection to this.Yes. This is a daylight bomber. It was taken in

1:50:49 > 1:50:531918 in northern France. A plane made of wood. This man in the middle

1:50:53 > 1:50:58is my grandfather. He was just 18 years old. The sort of planes they

1:50:58 > 1:51:03were flying those days are a far cry from what we have here right now, a

1:51:03 > 1:51:13simulator for the

1:51:13 > 1:51:15simulator for the brand-new RAF state-of-the-art F35 Lightning,

1:51:15 > 1:51:19arriving in the UK later this year. When it does, it will form the 617

1:51:19 > 1:51:23Squadron. I have gone to meet one of the most famous members of the 617

1:51:23 > 1:51:29Squadron, Johnnie Johnson, the last surviving member.

1:51:29 > 1:51:35He is 96 years old at the last surviving member of World War Two's

1:51:35 > 1:51:43famous dambusters raid. He joined the RAF in 1940, one of many

1:51:43 > 1:51:46teenagers signing up to fight for their country, saying it was

1:51:46 > 1:51:54thrilling.I would do the same again if it throws up. I find that the

1:51:54 > 1:51:59satisfaction, personal satisfaction, of being able to do that, it was

1:51:59 > 1:52:04more than anything else, that sort of thing I felt I was doing

1:52:04 > 1:52:12something useful, and doing it well. It was 75 years ago this may that

1:52:12 > 1:52:17the 617 Squadron took off in their Lancaster bombers in the mission

1:52:17 > 1:52:26immortalised in the film to attack Germany's industrial heartland. The

1:52:26 > 1:52:31planes he flew are a world away from the aircraft used by the RAF

1:52:31 > 1:52:36nowadays, and he is fascinated, just buy the technology on board, but

1:52:36 > 1:52:43also the pilots learning to fly. -- not just by the.I would not know

1:52:43 > 1:52:50where to begin. It is not a Lancaster.I have always... Flying

1:52:50 > 1:53:00with him is one of the newest pilots, in order of

1:53:00 > 1:53:05pilots, in order of -- in awe of his stories.Determination and

1:53:05 > 1:53:09confidence to know they were doing what was right for the country. I

1:53:09 > 1:53:13have been lucky enough to choose this role for myself, they were

1:53:13 > 1:53:18thrust into it, and did it as they could. It is more my ability to

1:53:18 > 1:53:23measure up to them.He was one of 133 men who took part in the

1:53:23 > 1:53:27dambusters raid. 53 of them never came home. He still remembers that

1:53:27 > 1:53:33night vividly.I will never forget it. The highlight of that trip for

1:53:33 > 1:53:44me as we came home, we knew by radio broadcast the dam was breached.

1:53:44 > 1:53:52There was water everywhere. Was

1:53:55 > 1:53:57There was water everywhere. Was just like an endless sea. Evidence of

1:53:57 > 1:54:02success. It is gone! We have done it! It is the most famous in the

1:54:02 > 1:54:07history of the Air Force. As they celebrate theirs and tannery, his

1:54:07 > 1:54:12advice to the next generation... Whatever you do, do it to the best

1:54:12 > 1:54:18of your ability. -- centenary.If I had my time again, I would do the

1:54:18 > 1:54:24same again. I would get the same happiness and enjoyment out of it as

1:54:24 > 1:54:31I did back then. Thank you to the Royal Air Force for providing a

1:54:31 > 1:54:38wonderful life for me. It really was.He was amazed by the technology

1:54:38 > 1:54:51in that aircraft. He would be astounded by this. Because

1:54:54 > 1:54:56astounded by this. Because this is the F35 Lightning, the brand new

1:54:56 > 1:54:59state-of-the-art aircraft arriving in the UK later this year. This is

1:54:59 > 1:55:02unlike anything they have had before.Definitely. I was the Chief

1:55:02 > 1:55:08Executive of Lockheed Martin before that, I was in the Air Force. What

1:55:08 > 1:55:12we have seen is an incredible transformation in terms of

1:55:12 > 1:55:17technology. Most of the aircraft I operated were designed for a

1:55:17 > 1:55:21specific role. This aircraft can do virtually everything, which is

1:55:21 > 1:55:27remarkable.It is also incredibly expensive, around £90 million per

1:55:27 > 1:55:31plane. There has been a lot of controversy around it.The value you

1:55:31 > 1:55:38get is this aircraft is designed for 40- 50 years. It has twice the life

1:55:38 > 1:55:45of the aircraft were used to fly. This one has been designed for 7500

1:55:45 > 1:55:52miles. It will be the backbone of the Royal Navy and air force for

1:55:52 > 1:55:57decades to come. The other benefit is the industrial benefit. The UK is

1:55:57 > 1:56:01supporting this programme in a way which is absolutely incredible. We

1:56:01 > 1:56:10have more than 500 companies in the UK providing about 50%

1:56:10 > 1:56:12UK providing about 50% of every F35, there will be at least 3,000 of

1:56:12 > 1:56:19them. To date, we spent $12.9 billion with the UK's supply chain

1:56:19 > 1:56:27copy that is a phenomenal investment into the UK.3000 F35s. They are in

1:56:27 > 1:56:36America.No, sorry, it is 138.There has been a lot of criticism that the

1:56:36 > 1:56:40project is over budget. It is not only... It is not costing more than

1:56:40 > 1:56:44it should, but there have been technical glitches. MPs on the

1:56:44 > 1:56:48Defence Select Committee said there should be more transparency.I gave

1:56:48 > 1:56:53evidence to the committee and gave all of the technical answers. They

1:56:53 > 1:56:58were satisfied. Looking back of course, it is a development

1:56:58 > 1:57:03programme and you will have challenges on any programme. We have

1:57:03 > 1:57:07done to the parliament in production at the same time, resulting in a

1:57:07 > 1:57:14significant reduction in cost.

1:57:14 > 1:57:18significant reduction in cost. We reduced the cost by 40%.I will go

1:57:18 > 1:57:21to the here. We have a squadron leader based in America at the

1:57:21 > 1:57:25moment who is learning to fly and is testing them all out. What is it

1:57:25 > 1:57:33like?It is effortless to fly. That is really the modus operandi of the

1:57:33 > 1:57:37F35. By design, it is highly automated. We wanted to make it so

1:57:37 > 1:57:43easy to fly the pilot does not have to concentrate on that. He needs to

1:57:43 > 1:57:46concentrate on operating this fantastic, phenomenal, the

1:57:46 > 1:57:53generation game

1:57:53 > 1:57:56generation game changing sensor. That is what makes us elite.I will

1:57:56 > 1:58:05leave you to it. Thank you for joining us. And he is off.

1:58:11 > 1:58:14joining us. And he is off.That made me quite nervous watching that, even

1:58:14 > 1:58:19though it is a simulator.Thank you. It is lovely to see you on Breakfast

1:58:19 > 2:01:40as well.We will be back with her later on through the morning.Time

2:01:40 > 2:01:45to wake up to a frosty start on Sunday.

2:01:45 > 2:01:51Hello this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:01:51 > 2:01:51Hundreds with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:01:51 > 2:01:51Hundreds of with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:01:51 > 2:01:52Hundreds of drivers with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:01:52 > 2:01:53Hundreds of drivers stranded with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:01:53 > 2:01:54Hundreds of drivers stranded overnight as heavy snow sweeps

2:01:54 > 2:01:58across the United Kingdom. Mountain rescue teams were drafted in as

2:01:58 > 2:02:06blizzard conditions left motorists stuck for more than eight hours on

2:02:06 > 2:02:15the M74 in Scotland. Conditions will ease through the morning, but there

2:02:15 > 2:02:26is more on the way.

2:02:30 > 2:02:36Breakfast on the BBC on Wednesday the 17th of January. More nurses are

2:02:36 > 2:02:40quitting the NHS in England and join in. We hear a warning that too many

2:02:40 > 2:02:45staff are demoralised by the job. Fit for office, Donald Trump passes

2:02:45 > 2:02:48his medical as the White House doctor says his cognitive ability is

2:02:48 > 2:02:51normal.

2:02:51 > 2:02:54Carillion owed more than a billion pounds when it went bust -

2:02:54 > 2:02:58but now we know it had just £29 million left in the bank.

2:02:58 > 2:03:00We'll get the latest on the collapse of the construction giant.

2:03:00 > 2:03:02In sport, history is made in English football.

2:03:02 > 2:03:05A first goal is awarded by the video assistant referee as Leicester City

2:03:05 > 2:03:12knock Fleetwood Town out of the FA Cup.

2:03:13 > 2:03:17As the RAF celebrates its 100th anniversary, the last of the Dam

2:03:17 > 2:03:22Busters tells us about his life in the skies.

2:03:22 > 2:03:23Good morning.

2:03:23 > 2:03:24First, our main story.

2:03:24 > 2:03:26Snow and ice are causing serious problems on roads

2:03:26 > 2:03:31across Scotland, Northern Ireland and Northern England,

2:03:31 > 2:03:33with drivers stranded in long queues on the M74 motorway overnight.

2:03:33 > 2:03:37Mountain rescue teams were drafted in to help trapped motorists,

2:03:37 > 2:03:40and people in Dumfries and Galloway are being advised not to drive.

2:03:40 > 2:03:43Snow has also caused problems in Northern Ireland,

2:03:43 > 2:03:46forcing schools to close and disrupting public transport.

2:03:46 > 2:03:49Ian Palmer reports.

2:03:49 > 2:03:51Rescuing the drivers trapped in their cars overnight

2:03:51 > 2:03:53on the main motorway between England and Scotland.

2:03:53 > 2:03:55Heavy snow meant treacherous conditions for the emergency

2:03:55 > 2:04:03services on the M74.

2:04:03 > 2:04:05The icy weather kept some motorists in freezing cars

2:04:05 > 2:04:07for more than eight hours.

2:04:07 > 2:04:08Very little has been happening, I'm afraid.

2:04:08 > 2:04:09We've barely moved.

2:04:09 > 2:04:11I'm not far away from Motherwell, still.

2:04:11 > 2:04:15I think in total, very little movement.

2:04:15 > 2:04:17The M74 runs from Gretna Green to Glasgow.

2:04:17 > 2:04:19The worst problems were between junctions 12 and 15,

2:04:19 > 2:04:25and the wild weather isn't going away.

2:04:25 > 2:04:28The Met office has issued a number of Amber warnings

2:04:28 > 2:04:31for Central Tayside and Fife, Dumfries, Galloway,

2:04:31 > 2:04:36Lothian and Borders, Strathclyde and Northern Ireland.

2:04:36 > 2:04:39On the Isle of Skye, the main road was closed for several

2:04:39 > 2:04:43hours in both directions by a jackknifed lorry.

2:04:43 > 2:04:45Two buses carrying pupils were forced to return

2:04:45 > 2:04:48to school for the night.

2:04:48 > 2:04:51We've had people who have been stuck for a good six or eight

2:04:51 > 2:04:52hours in their vehicles.

2:04:52 > 2:04:57So quite a long time.

2:04:57 > 2:05:00We have assisted one or two vehicles who had completely run out of fuel

2:05:00 > 2:05:06and we have managed to get fuel back to them.

2:05:06 > 2:05:09Mostly it has been checking the welfare of people in their cars.

2:05:09 > 2:05:10Dozens of schools were closed yesterday across Scotland,

2:05:10 > 2:05:12affecting thousands of children.

2:05:12 > 2:05:16But it wasn't all doom and gloom.

2:05:16 > 2:05:19In Selkirk, the scene was worthy of a seasonal postcard with people

2:05:19 > 2:05:24living on higher ground witnessing the heaviest snowfall.

2:05:24 > 2:05:27In Dumfries, snow ploughs worked around the clock

2:05:27 > 2:05:29to keep motorists moving.

2:05:29 > 2:05:31This was the picture in Glasgow.

2:05:31 > 2:05:33And in Edinburgh, only the most determined

2:05:33 > 2:05:36ventured out in their cars.

2:05:36 > 2:05:38Gritters have been out through the night to try to avoid

2:05:38 > 2:05:43a repeat of the problems for drivers on the M74, but Police Scotland

2:05:43 > 2:05:46say if you can avoid travelling this morning,

2:05:46 > 2:05:49you should do so.

2:05:49 > 2:05:55Ian Palmer, BBC News.

2:05:55 > 2:06:01We have been speaking to people stuck on the M74 overnight. Bad

2:06:01 > 2:06:05weather also causing some schools to close across the North of England,

2:06:05 > 2:06:09Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland. If there is snow in your

2:06:09 > 2:06:13area then you should check with your local authority about school

2:06:13 > 2:06:18closures as well. Always worth tuning in to local BBC radio

2:06:18 > 2:06:22stations, or checking out the BBC website. Carroll will have some

2:06:22 > 2:06:28detail on what might be happening over the course of the day.

2:06:28 > 2:06:35The Met office has set out in amber weather warning for northern

2:06:35 > 2:06:35Scotland

2:06:35 > 2:06:37weather warning for northern Scotland and Northern Ireland, but

2:06:37 > 2:06:44that has just expired. Snow showers will continue, however, the

2:06:44 > 2:06:48intensity will start to ease. The wind will also start to ease as

2:06:48 > 2:06:52well. But there is still the risk of ice. These are the kind of totals we

2:06:52 > 2:07:03have seen, 38 centimetres, close to 15 inches, in the Southern uplands.

2:07:03 > 2:07:07Later in the day, through this evening and overnight, a period of

2:07:07 > 2:07:12low pressure is coming our way that will bring in heavy rain, gales and

2:07:12 > 2:07:16heavy snow. We are not out of the woods just yet. I will tell you all

2:07:16 > 2:07:27the details of that system in the next weather report at 8:15am.

2:07:28 > 2:07:30Are you waking up to snow this morning?

2:07:30 > 2:07:32Have you been stuck in traffic overnight?

2:07:32 > 2:07:35You can send us your photos and videos to our new WhatsApp

2:07:35 > 2:07:43number: 07 990 99 88 66.

2:07:43 > 2:07:46You can get in touch on social media and the normal e-mail address as

2:07:46 > 2:07:50well.

2:07:57 > 2:07:59More details have emerged of the final days of construction

2:07:59 > 2:08:02giant Carillion in a document put together by the company's chief

2:08:02 > 2:08:04executive as he prepared to declare the firm insolvent.

2:08:04 > 2:08:06Steph has been looking into this and joins us now.

2:08:06 > 2:08:09So, what more have we learnt about how much trouble Carillion was in?

2:08:09 > 2:08:13Some very big numbers. We now know how much money they had left when

2:08:13 > 2:08:16they announced they would go into liquidation. That figure is £29

2:08:16 > 2:08:22million. It might sound like a lot to us, but when you are a huge

2:08:22 > 2:08:26business dealing with contracts worth billions, and the fact they

2:08:26 > 2:08:32owed more than £1.5 billion, its small fry, not enough to run the

2:08:32 > 2:08:36business. It's a huge operation, 20,000 people employed by them. That

2:08:36 > 2:08:40meant they had to go into liquidation. We also know that in

2:08:40 > 2:08:44the run-up to all of this, they started talking to the government in

2:08:44 > 2:08:51October looking for a rescue plan, but that came to a head on December

2:08:51 > 2:08:5531 when they formally requested a rescue plan. That meant they wanted

2:08:55 > 2:09:01four months extra, and a guarantee from the government that if they

2:09:01 > 2:09:05couldn't afford to pay their money to the banks who they owed money to,

2:09:05 > 2:09:07they would get a guarantee from the government that they would step in

2:09:07 > 2:09:12to help. They also wanted to defer some tax payments. The government

2:09:12 > 2:09:16said no and that's why they went into liquidation. All this

2:09:16 > 2:09:20information coming out now, and there will be analysis on whether it

2:09:20 > 2:09:25was bad management that led up to it, or whatever the reasons were.

2:09:25 > 2:09:28There will be a fast-track investigation and I imagine we will

2:09:28 > 2:09:32be talking about this story for quite some time, given how much it

2:09:32 > 2:09:37feeds into so many walks of life, and 30,000 smaller companies who are

2:09:37 > 2:09:42owed money by Carillion. It's a big and far-reaching story.

2:09:42 > 2:09:45Police in California have praised the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

2:09:45 > 2:09:48who escaped from the home where she and her 12 siblings

2:09:48 > 2:09:50were allegedly being held captive by their parents.

2:09:50 > 2:09:53David and Louise Turpin - whose children range

2:09:53 > 2:09:57in age from 2 to 29 - are due to appear in court

2:09:57 > 2:10:01later this week, charged with torture and child endangerment.

2:10:01 > 2:10:05Investigators say they had had no previous contacts with the couple.

2:10:05 > 2:10:08Donald Trump has been given a clean bill of health by his doctor,

2:10:08 > 2:10:11following his first medical as commander-in-chief.

2:10:11 > 2:10:15Dr Ronny Jackson said the President was in good shape for his age,

2:10:15 > 2:10:19but could benefit from a lower-fat diet and more exercise.

2:10:19 > 2:10:22He also said he had "no concerns" about Mr Trump's cognitive ability.

2:10:22 > 2:10:26The examination also flagged up the medication

2:10:26 > 2:10:33that the President takes, including a drug to combat hair

2:10:33 > 2:10:38and a daily aspirin.

2:10:38 > 2:10:40As part of his medical the President took part

2:10:40 > 2:10:43in a cognitive awareness test.

2:10:43 > 2:10:48You get marked out of 30 on this piece of paper. One of the jobs is

2:10:48 > 2:10:52to identify correctly a lion, rhinoceros and camel.Various other

2:10:52 > 2:11:01tests. He did get 30 out of 30. Some other people have got in contact

2:11:01 > 2:11:06today saying they have taken their family members to take this test

2:11:06 > 2:11:10because it's the Montreal cognitive assessment, also used to determine

2:11:10 > 2:11:13early-onset Alzheimer's.

2:11:13 > 2:11:16The Bayeux Tapestry is to return to Britain for the first

2:11:16 > 2:11:18time since it was made in the 11th century.

2:11:18 > 2:11:20The 70-metre-long embroidery, which tells the story

2:11:20 > 2:11:23of the Battle of Hastings, has been kept in France for the last

2:11:23 > 2:11:26950 years but will go on display in Britain after months of talks.

2:11:26 > 2:11:28The BBC understands that French President Emmanuel Macron

2:11:28 > 2:11:33will confirm the loan when he meets Theresa May tomorrow.

2:11:34 > 2:11:37I've been waiting more than an hour for you to give me some tapestry

2:11:37 > 2:11:43facts.

2:11:43 > 2:11:46facts.It's not a tapestry, it's an embroidery. Tapestries woven on a

2:11:46 > 2:11:52loom, where as embroidery has ground fabric. It was not made by nuns. The

2:11:52 > 2:11:55widely accepted theory is it was created by teams of nuns across

2:11:55 > 2:12:03England, but a study done in 2012 showed, the University of Manchester

2:12:03 > 2:12:07showed the needlework was consistent throughout, done by the same group

2:12:07 > 2:12:12of people, not a wider group of nuns.We will be speaking to an

2:12:12 > 2:12:19expert from 8:40am. There is also an exact copy of it in Reading Museum.

2:12:19 > 2:12:22Last year a 2-year-old girl bacame the youngest person to give evidence

2:12:22 > 2:12:24in a UK criminal case, something only made possible

2:12:24 > 2:12:27by a team of experts known as "intermediaries".

2:12:27 > 2:12:30Usually speech therapists, psychologists, teachers or other

2:12:30 > 2:12:32skilled professionals, intermediaries make sure the most

2:12:32 > 2:12:34vulnerable have a voice in court.

2:12:34 > 2:12:36But according to a report from the victims' commisioner,

2:12:36 > 2:12:39they are overstretched and underfunded.

2:12:39 > 2:12:42We're joined now by Nicola Lewis, who is a registered intermediary,

2:12:42 > 2:12:46and by Baroness Newlove, who wrote the report.

2:12:46 > 2:12:56Thank you for joining us. Nicola, if I can ask you, it seems

2:12:56 > 2:12:59extraordinary in some ways, but a two-year-old child was able to give

2:12:59 > 2:13:06evidence. You do this work, so how do you even have a conversation

2:13:06 > 2:13:11about something like that with a very young child?The job we do,

2:13:11 > 2:13:14first of all we assess the vulnerable person to see how they

2:13:14 > 2:13:18can communicate. With the two-year-old, the range of words

2:13:18 > 2:13:22will be very limited and sometimes they need to show with a figure or

2:13:22 > 2:13:27object instead of tell. We have figures we use, and we allow them to

2:13:27 > 2:13:33draw and use visuals. We do a lot of rapport building. We will meet with

2:13:33 > 2:13:37the child. With that two-year-old, she initially would not come in the

2:13:37 > 2:13:41room, and the police officer and the intermediary were just playing. She

2:13:41 > 2:13:46would peep round the door and then she joined them. They talked to her

2:13:46 > 2:13:51informally. The camera was rolling, the evidence was recorded over a

2:13:51 > 2:13:56period of time.You have brought something 's end. How would you use

2:13:56 > 2:14:02something like this? That's when you have brought some things in.This

2:14:02 > 2:14:09was a case where a young child was trying to explain what happened to

2:14:09 > 2:14:12her. She was not good with prepositions, so it was easier for

2:14:12 > 2:14:19her to show what happened instead of using words.It's incredibly

2:14:19 > 2:14:25interesting work and very important. How much difference can it make that

2:14:25 > 2:14:29young victims particularly can have access to this type of person to

2:14:29 > 2:14:33help them?It makes a huge difference. They can't communicate

2:14:33 > 2:14:44like we are now. If we can have registered intermediaries able to

2:14:44 > 2:14:47communicate with victims and police officers, it's important to have

2:14:47 > 2:14:52this role in this review shows how important that role is for victims.

2:14:52 > 2:14:55There have been cuts to the criminal justice system and it's not possible

2:14:55 > 2:15:00to pay for everything.Funnily enough, in the review, nobody

2:15:00 > 2:15:06complained about resources. What I would say, looking at the

2:15:06 > 2:15:08recommendations, if there is funding needing to be put into this, then

2:15:08 > 2:15:14they have to do that. At the end of the day, it's about equal justice.

2:15:14 > 2:15:19Victims have a right under the entitlement in the victims' codes to

2:15:19 > 2:15:22have a registered intermediary. I'm not getting down on funding, just

2:15:22 > 2:15:27writes for victims.Do you feel like you and the services are stretched

2:15:27 > 2:15:33at the moment?

2:15:48 > 2:15:51It is really vital that they get to speak because perpetrators target

2:15:51 > 2:15:57these people

2:15:57 > 2:16:02these people because they are vulnerable. They can pull more

2:16:02 > 2:16:05intermediaries in at the top but until they plug the hole at the

2:16:05 > 2:16:10bottom, the problem is likely to continue.Baroness, do you know of

2:16:10 > 2:16:15cases which have collapsed because of a lack of intermediaries?The

2:16:15 > 2:16:20review doesn't shine a light on that but if you look at the waiting time,

2:16:20 > 2:16:24there was an average of four weeks waiting time for a child to give

2:16:24 > 2:16:28their evidence. Sometimes I can't remember yesterday, said that is

2:16:28 > 2:16:32horrendous. There shouldn't be a waiting time for these people to

2:16:32 > 2:16:37communicate the most dramatic things that have had to happen to them. --

2:16:37 > 2:16:43that have happened to them. These are children who are trying to give

2:16:43 > 2:16:45evidence in the criminal justice system and they shouldn't have to

2:16:45 > 2:16:49wait four weeks for an intermediary. One of the recommendations are my

2:16:49 > 2:16:52review is to have a fast track system and a central system where

2:16:52 > 2:16:56they can have everybody on data and if they need to have more registered

2:16:56 > 2:16:59intermediaries available, they can access them and go to the Ministry

2:16:59 > 2:17:03of Justice or the National Crime Agency who was responsible to match

2:17:03 > 2:17:06them to work together to ensure there isn't a waiting list as much

2:17:06 > 2:17:11as they read at the moment.Baroness new love, we have spoken to the

2:17:11 > 2:17:16Ministry of Justice, a spokesperson giving us a statement saying, we

2:17:16 > 2:17:23recently doubled the size of the scheme, with 90% of requests being

2:17:23 > 2:17:34made to intermediaries. They also say they will look at this

2:17:34 > 2:17:41recommendations.Is that enough for you? They have recruited 30

2:17:41 > 2:17:44intermediaries but it's not about looking at the recommendations

2:17:44 > 2:17:49alone. This isn't about intermediaries alone, it is about

2:17:49 > 2:17:54writing the victims code. We are dealing with children who are

2:17:54 > 2:17:57vulnerable and we are dealing with adults and children with disability

2:17:57 > 2:18:01needs. That is why I think when you see what the intermediaries do, they

2:18:01 > 2:18:06are fantastic people to get the most sensitive information out of it in a

2:18:06 > 2:18:09most relaxed environment and surely that should be the most relaxed

2:18:09 > 2:18:19environment to make sure children get equal access to justice.Thank

2:18:19 > 2:18:27you so much to both of you. It is 8:18am. If you have been watching

2:18:27 > 2:18:30for a while, you will know that Carol has been a lot more than

2:18:30 > 2:18:34normal this morning. Some parts of the country really treacherous this

2:18:34 > 2:18:37morning. Carroll has update.

2:18:37 > 2:18:37the country really treacherous this morning. Carroll has update.

2:18:37 > 2:18:42You are quite right. Treacherous conditions at their because of

2:18:42 > 2:18:47disruption as we have been hearing in the news. This photo is of

2:18:47 > 2:18:51Melrose and you can see the lying snow. This is Ron Tulloch Bridge.

2:18:51 > 2:18:59Look at the Dan Thorpe these now on that table. -- look at the depth of

2:18:59 > 2:19:02that snow on the table.

2:19:06 > 2:19:1538 centimetres is almost 15 inches.

2:19:15 > 2:19:19There is a lot of snow. The Met office has had a amber weather

2:19:19 > 2:19:24warning out for Scotland this morning which has now expired but

2:19:24 > 2:19:30still treacherous conditions if you are out and about. Slowly, we will

2:19:30 > 2:19:34start to see an improvement. We still will have some snow showers, a

2:19:34 > 2:19:38plethora of them in Scotland, but they went to be as widespread and

2:19:38 > 2:19:42neither will they be across Northern Ireland and northern England. Around

2:19:42 > 2:19:46that, there is a lot of dry weather and sunshine around, but it will

2:19:46 > 2:19:50still feel cold. Any showers tending to be of rain or in some of the

2:19:50 > 2:19:58heavier ones, hail or sleet. In between the snow showers here, there

2:19:58 > 2:20:02will be dry spells. Still a lot of dry weather across Northern Ireland,

2:20:02 > 2:20:06too, but some showers coming in. More on that later. For northern

2:20:06 > 2:20:11England, you again will have some more snow showers but not as intense

2:20:11 > 2:20:17as you have seen. The wind will continue to ease a touch as well.

2:20:17 > 2:20:21Further south, some sunshine with some showers dotted around. But with

2:20:21 > 2:20:28the wind, we are looking at large waves crashing on shore on the west.

2:20:28 > 2:20:34Then the next big Atlantic low comes our way. This is what you can expect

2:20:34 > 2:20:38this evening, wet, the wind strengthening, snow in Northern

2:20:38 > 2:20:41Ireland, especially so in the hills and in the north. There will also be

2:20:41 > 2:20:45held snow in Wales. Move this from eight o'clock in the evening to five

2:20:45 > 2:20:48o'clock in the morning. This is what happens. As the snow engages with

2:20:48 > 2:20:54the cold air across Northern Ireland, we will see more snowfall.

2:20:54 > 2:21:01Heavy across the southern uplands, and at the same time, we have got

2:21:01 > 2:21:11heavy rain spreading across Wales, southern England, and gales. 50 mph,

2:21:11 > 2:21:1670 mph quite possible with exposure in the west. In the east, there

2:21:16 > 2:21:21could be snow across parts of Yorkshire and Lincolnshire early. If

2:21:21 > 2:21:24you are travelling tonight are indeed this evening, do bear that in

2:21:24 > 2:21:28mind. We are likely to see disruption from land. One good thing

2:21:28 > 2:21:33is it moves through quite quickly. The winds ease the touch, we see

2:21:33 > 2:21:36some sunshine tomorrow but still some showers coming in from

2:21:36 > 2:21:36some sunshine tomorrow but still some showers coming in from the

2:21:36 > 2:21:36west.

2:21:36 > 2:21:37some sunshine tomorrow but still some showers coming in from the

2:21:37 > 2:21:42west. Carol, thank you. We will see you in about 25 minutes time.

2:21:42 > 2:21:45The NHS is 'haemorrhaging' nurses - that's according to latest figures

2:21:45 > 2:21:47which show thousands are leaving the NHS compared to

2:21:47 > 2:21:48those who are joining.

2:21:48 > 2:21:5010% of nursing staff are walking away

2:21:50 > 2:21:51from hospital wards each year.

2:21:56 > 2:21:58Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes has been finding out why.

2:21:58 > 2:22:01She became a nurse to help people, excited at the prospect of making

2:22:01 > 2:22:05a difference but in the end, the job overwhelmed Mary Trevelyan.

2:22:05 > 2:22:08I would end up in tears during a shift because there was just

2:22:08 > 2:22:11so much pressure and stress.

2:22:11 > 2:22:14A never-ending list of things to do, guilt over not having enough time

2:22:14 > 2:22:17to care for patients.

2:22:17 > 2:22:22Stress led to depression and Mary has had to leave the job she loved.

2:22:22 > 2:22:26I want to be a great nurse and I want to give my patients my

2:22:26 > 2:22:30best but I feel I can't do that at the moment because we are just
