Hello - this is Breakfast,

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:00:070:00:12

Hundreds of drivers stranded

overnight as heavy snow sweeps

0:00:120:00:15

across the UK.

0:00:150:00:17

Mountain rescue teams are drafted

0:00:170:00:20

in as blizzard conditions leave

motorists stuck for up to 8 hours

0:00:200:00:24

on the M74 in Scotland.

0:00:240:00:31

Good morning - it's

Wednesday 17th January.

0:00:310:00:33

Good morning - it's

Wednesday 17th January.

0:00:490:00:53

Also this morning:

0:00:530:00:55

More nurses are quitting the NHS

in England than joining.

0:00:550:00:58

Senior nurses warn that too many

staff are demoralised by the job.

0:00:580:01:01

Fit for office.

0:01:010:01:02

Donald Trump passes his medical

as the White House doctor

0:01:020:01:05

says his "cognitive

ability" is normal.

0:01:050:01:09

Carillion owed more than a billion

pounds when it went bust -

0:01:090:01:12

but now we didn't even have enough

cash for 5% of the bill.

0:01:120:01:16

This morning I'm looking at why big

businesses can get away

0:01:160:01:19

with making late payment.

0:01:190:01:27

The first goal is awarded by the

video assistant referee.

0:01:320:01:37

And: as the RAF celebrates its 100th

anniversary, the last

0:01:370:01:40

of the Dambusters tells us

about his life in the skies.

0:01:400:01:47

Snow and ice are causing serious

problems on roads across Scotland,

0:01:470:01:52

Northern Ireland and northern

England with drivers stranded in

0:01:520:01:54

long queues. Rescue teams are

helping trapped motorists and people

0:01:540:02:00

in dumb freeze and Galloway are

being advised not to drive. Problems

0:02:000:02:05

in Northern Ireland with schools

closed entrance port affected.

0:02:050:02:11

Rescuing the driver trapped in our

cars overnight on the main motorway

0:02:110:02:15

between England and Scotland. Heavy

snow meant treacherous conditions

0:02:150:02:18

for the emergency services on the

M74. The weather kept some motorists

0:02:180:02:24

in freezing cars for more than eight

hours.

Very little has been

0:02:240:02:29

happening, I'm afraid. With barely

moved. I'm not that far away from

0:02:290:02:33

where I was. In total, very little

movement.

On the Isle of Skye, the

0:02:330:02:40

main road was closed for several

hours in both directions by

0:02:400:02:43

jackknifed lorry. To buses carrying

pupils were forced to return to

0:02:430:02:48

school for the night. Dozens of

schools closed yesterday across

0:02:480:02:53

Scotland affecting thousands of

children. But it wasn't all doom and

0:02:530:02:58

gloom. In Selkirk, the scene was

worthy of a seasonal postcard with

0:02:580:03:04

people living on higher ground

witnessing the heavy snowfall. In

0:03:040:03:09

dumb freeze, snowploughs worked

around the clock to keep motorists

0:03:090:03:12

moving. This was the picture in

Glasgow. And in Edinburgh, only the

0:03:120:03:18

most determined ventured out in our

cars. Grifters have been out through

0:03:180:03:23

the night to avoid a repeat of the

problems for drivers on the M74 but

0:03:230:03:28

police Scotland say if you can avoid

travelling this morning, you should

0:03:280:03:32

do so. Ian Palmer, BBC News.

0:03:320:03:35

Let's speak now to Kenneth Anderson,

who's been stuck in his car

0:03:350:03:38

on the M74 since 8

o'clock last night.

0:03:380:03:42

Understand you arrived home about

ten minutes ago. Tell us about your

0:03:420:03:46

night.

It's been absolutely chaotic.

We left Bromley at about 12 o'clock

0:03:460:03:54

yesterday and have only just arrived

back in Glasgow just now. We

0:03:540:04:02

anticipated about 5:30pm yesterday,

not this morning.

Tells about the

0:04:020:04:07

conditions. At what point did you

think you could be stuck?

At about

0:04:070:04:13

eight o'clock yesterday evening, the

traffic on the M74 had just gotten

0:04:130:04:20

really bad. It is about eight or

nine hours to get moving after that

0:04:200:04:24

point. We were getting little

information. We were going to be

0:04:240:04:31

stuck there overnight and even

through to now.

What did you have

0:04:310:04:34

with you? People say to prepare this

-- about this sort of weather, take

0:04:340:04:41

a spade, some food, extra clothing.

We had just returned from a

0:04:410:04:46

christening so we had a car full of

clothes and our pet dog. She had a

0:04:460:04:53

less than fantastic time.

Whether

loads of other people on the road?

0:04:530:04:59

Did you stay in the vehicle? What

were you told by emergency services?

0:04:590:05:05

We were told nothing other than what

we could glean from Twitter.

0:05:050:05:10

Understand mountain rescue was out

but we never saw them. As the other

0:05:100:05:14

motorists, we only spoke to one of

them. Plenty of cars driving up the

0:05:140:05:21

hard shoulder. We never wanted to

leave the vehicle for fear of

0:05:210:05:24

collision.

I am glad the dog is OK

as well. She is glad to be back in

0:05:240:05:31

her own bed. Get some sleep. So many

stories of people stuck out there.

0:05:310:05:37

The Met Office has issued warnings

for most of the country,

0:05:370:05:40

with many areas at risk

of snow, ice or wind.

0:05:400:05:43

Carol has the latest.

0:05:430:05:46

We have seen

0:05:460:05:47

We have seen a lot of snow as we

have been hearing through yesterday

0:05:470:05:50

and overnight. These are the kind of

depths. The Southern uplands, 37

0:05:500:05:56

they -- 37 centimetres.

0:05:560:06:03

they -- 37 centimetres. A lot of

snow around. What's been happening

0:06:030:06:06

is it's been blowing because it's

been snow windy so there are snow

0:06:060:06:10

drifts. Also blizzard conditions.

Treacherous. Add in the risk of ice

0:06:100:06:17

again. That is another hazard to

watch out for. What you will find is

0:06:170:06:22

the wind will slowly ease in the

wintry showers will not be as heavy

0:06:220:06:26

and Scotland, Northern Ireland and

northern England. But later on

0:06:260:06:31

today, another area of low pressure

and that will introduce heavy rain

0:06:310:06:36

as it crosses the UK, especially in

the south. It will be preceded by a

0:06:360:06:41

spell of heavy snow across Northern

Ireland and northern England and

0:06:410:06:47

southern and central Scotland. It

will be very windy across the South.

0:06:470:06:53

And ice risk. Not out of the woods

yet. If you are travelling, do take

0:06:530:06:58

extra care.

0:06:580:06:58

yet. If you are travelling, do take

extra care. You will be here later

0:06:580:07:03

see you got a busy morning. Thank

you. I was coming from Sheffield. It

0:07:030:07:10

was seriously slippery on the roads.

Send us those pictures. The number

0:07:100:07:15

below. Who knew we had a WhatsApp

number.

0:07:150:07:27

If you have friends stuck there as

well, ask them to get in touch with

0:07:400:07:44

us as well.

0:07:440:07:47

More nurses left the health service

in England last year than joined -

0:07:470:07:51

the first time in 5 years

that there's been a net

0:07:510:07:54

reduction in staff.

0:07:540:07:55

BBC analysis of NHS data found that

just over 33,000 nurses left

0:07:550:07:58

the service - 3,000

more than signed up.

0:07:580:08:00

The Royal College of Nursing says

experienced staff are leaving

0:08:000:08:03

because they're demoralised,

as our health correspondent

0:08:030:08:05

Dominic Hughes reports.

0:08:050:08:09

Nursing is a profession under

pressure. Now a new analysis of

0:08:090:08:13

nurses working in the NHS in England

shows a worrying number choosing to

0:08:130:08:18

leave the profession. Last year,

more than 33,000 nurses walked away

0:08:180:08:23

from their health service jobs.

That's a 20% rise compared to four

0:08:230:08:27

years ago and those leaving

outnumber those joining. One in four

0:08:270:08:31

of those leaving are relatively

young, under 30. This has

0:08:310:08:37

potentially serious implications for

a sustainable profession.

Unless we

0:08:370:08:41

can improve the number of nurses

there to support the new ones coming

0:08:410:08:47

in, it becomes a continuous cycle

where people will not want to say

0:08:470:08:50

because they have not got the

support within the workplace.

0:08:500:08:55

Ministers in England say more nurses

are working in the NHS today than

0:08:550:09:00

2010 and they have launched a

programme to help organisations keep

0:09:000:09:04

hold of

0:09:040:09:14

hold of experienced and highly

skilled staff but retaining nurses

0:09:160:09:18

is a problem across the UK and the

pressures of a tough winter on an

0:09:180:09:22

already stretched health service

will not help. Dominic Hughes, BBC

0:09:220:09:25

News.

0:09:250:09:29

Early this week, a coroner ruled

that Poppi Worthington was sexually

0:09:290:09:34

assaulted by her father.

0:09:340:09:42

assaulted by her father. The

prosecution service says it will

0:09:420:09:44

look carefully at the judgement

along with Cumbria police.

0:09:440:09:46

More details have emerged

of the final days of construction

0:09:460:09:50

giant Carillion in a document put

together by the company's chief

0:09:500:09:53

executive as he prepared

to declare the firm insolvent.

0:09:530:09:55

More details have emerged

of the final days of construction

0:09:550:09:58

giant Carillion in a document put

together by the company's chief

0:09:580:10:01

executive as he prepared to declare

the firm insolvent.

0:10:010:10:08

It is part of this insolvency

process. They started talking to the

0:10:080:10:15

government in October about the

concerns they had about money. The

0:10:150:10:20

banks wanted their money back and

Carillion were struggling because

0:10:200:10:24

they did not have enough cash in the

pot to do that. They were having

0:10:240:10:28

these ongoing talks throughout

November, December that at the end

0:10:280:10:33

of December, on the 31st, they put

in a formal request for a rescue

0:10:330:10:37

plan. What they wanted them to do

was give a guarantee for four months

0:10:370:10:41

after that. That they would

guarantee the payments they are the

0:10:410:10:46

bank. If they couldn't

0:10:460:10:47

afford to give the

0:10:470:10:48

banks of the

0:10:480:10:50

money, the government would put them

back. They

0:10:500:10:53

also wanted to defer how...

Obviously there is lots of questions

0:10:530:11:03

in terms of whether we should have

done that. The government said they

0:11:030:11:07

had to be liquidated. Some people

have been asking me, why couldn't

0:11:070:11:12

they have gone into administration

and not gone on as normal. They

0:11:120:11:16

didn't have enough money in the pot.

We found out from this family had

0:11:160:11:21

£29 million which sounds like a lot

of money. There is 1.3 million.

0:11:210:11:36

of money. There is 1.3 million. Was

it bad management that got them to

0:11:370:11:39

the point? A lot of people are

looking at how much the Chief

0:11:390:11:43

Executive has paid. The gentleman

who was the Chief Executive just

0:11:430:11:48

before the profit warning came out,

took home 1.5 million in bonuses.

0:11:480:11:54

What does that mean? There is now a

formal investigation into Wallabies.

0:11:540:12:07

Police in California have praised

the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

0:12:100:12:13

who escaped from the home

where she and her 12 siblings

0:12:130:12:16

were allegedly being held

captive by their parents.

0:12:160:12:19

David and Louise Turpin -

whose children range in age from 2

0:12:190:12:23

to 29 - are due to appear

in court later this week,

0:12:230:12:26

charged with torture

and child endangerment.

0:12:260:12:27

Investigators say they had had no

previous contacts with the couple.

0:12:270:12:30

I haven't been so shocked in my

life. It broke my heart and all of

0:12:300:12:35

our hearts and I just pray to God to

take care of the kids. She was about

0:12:350:12:40

16 years old. She is 47 now. It's a

problem when they left here. I

0:12:400:12:53

didn't even know where she lived. I

didn't have a name that could

0:12:530:13:02

attract anything. I hope and I do

care who knows. I hope they

0:13:020:13:09

prosecute them. Even if she is my

niece.

0:13:090:13:22

niece. God

0:13:230:13:23

Donald Trump has been advised to eat

a lower fat diet and take more

0:13:230:13:27

exercise, after his first

medical check-up in office.

0:13:270:13:29

However the White House

doctor says the President

0:13:290:13:31

who's 71 is generally

in excellent health

0:13:310:13:33

and that he performed

well in cognitive tests.

0:13:330:13:39

I've gotten to know him pretty well.

I had no concerns about his

0:13:400:13:44

cognitive ability or his

neurological functions. I was not

0:13:440:13:51

going to do a cognitive exam. I had

no intention of doing one. The

0:13:510:13:55

reason we did the cognitive

assessment. The President didn't ask

0:13:550:13:59

me. He came to me and said is there

something we can do or some kind of

0:13:590:14:04

screening we can do to assess my

cognitive ability.

0:14:040:14:13

We have got and we left it in the

office, we actually have got, which

0:14:130:14:18

is really interesting, some parts of

those cognitive tests. He got 30 out

0:14:180:14:23

of 30. It didn't strike me as that

difficult. The sort of like an onset

0:14:230:14:29

dementia test. A lion, a camel, that

sort of thing. We will show you.

I'm

0:14:290:14:40

sure there is some kind of science

behind that. My two-year-old can

0:14:400:14:44

identify a rhinoceros.

0:14:440:14:50

identify a rhinoceros.

I'm not

saying my two-year-old is fit to be

0:14:500:14:54

president.

I'm talking about video

assistant refereeing again. Lastly,

0:14:540:14:59

we were talking about something that

was used. It was used to determine

0:14:590:15:06

whether a goal was offside. Actually

a goal was judged to be on side.

0:15:060:15:12

History was made in English

football last night.

0:15:290:15:31

A first goal awarded by the video

assistant referee as Leicester City

0:15:310:15:34

knocked Fleetwood Town

out of the FA Cup.

0:15:340:15:37

Britain's Kyle Edmund

has reached the third

0:15:370:15:38

round of the Australian Open

for the first time.

0:15:380:15:41

The British number two beat

Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan

0:15:410:15:43

in straight sets.

0:15:430:15:44

Edmund goes on to face world number

0:15:440:15:46

61 Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia

next.

0:15:460:15:48

World heavyweight champion

Anthony Joshua and fellow world

0:15:480:15:50

champion Joseph Parker have come

face to face in Cardiff.

0:15:500:15:53

They will meet in a heavyweight

unification clash at the end

0:15:530:15:56

of March in the Welsh capital.

0:15:560:15:57

World heavyweight champion

Anthony Joshua and fellow world

0:15:570:15:59

champion Joseph Parker have come

face to face in Cardiff.

0:15:590:16:02

They will meet in a heavyweight

unification clash at the end

0:16:020:16:03

of March in the Welsh capital.

0:16:030:16:11

A lot going on with the weather.

A

hectic start.

0:16:140:16:21

A lot going on with the weather.

A

hectic start.

There is a lot going

0:16:210:16:25

on. The snow. This has been updated

in the last few minutes. 39

0:16:250:16:37

centimetres in Eskdalemuir.

0:16:370:16:44

centimetres in Eskdalemuir. If you

are travelling, needless to say,

0:16:440:16:48

there could be disruption, and are

already has been. There is the

0:16:480:16:53

additional hazard of ice. It has

been gusty overnight. On the tops of

0:16:530:16:58

the hills and mountains, blizzard

conditions. Through the next few the

0:16:580:17:05

wind will slowly start to come down.

Snow showers in Scotland and

0:17:050:17:12

Northern Ireland and even northern

England. South of

0:17:120:17:19

England. South of that, a quieter

picture. Cold. Sunshine from the

0:17:260:17:28

word go. Showers in the south,

mostly rain. Heavy ones could be he

0:17:280:17:31

ill and sleet. Windy, but not as

windy. A lot of sunshine further

0:17:310:17:38

south. Feeling nice. Temperatures,

nothing to write home about. In the

0:17:380:17:45

wind, generally cold. The next area

of low pressure coming our way. It

0:17:450:17:52

is deepening across the Atlantic,

bringing a combination of rain,

0:17:520:17:56

snow, and strong winds, gales, in

fact. Through the evening, here it

0:17:560:18:03

comes, pushing in towards the west.

It starts at 8pm. Snow in Northern

0:18:030:18:09

Ireland. Most in the hills. Most in

the north. Not all of Northern

0:18:090:18:15

Ireland will see snow. Hill snow in

Wales. With the graphics you can see

0:18:150:18:22

the heavy snow pushing across

northern England and southern

0:18:220:18:25

Scotland, possibly as far north as

the Central Lowlands. We could be

0:18:250:18:29

looking at it

0:18:290:18:38

looking at it falling to Blackpool.

Heavy rain falling quickly. Don't

0:18:380:18:40

forget, strong winds.

0:18:400:18:51

forget, strong winds. Perhaps 50

miles per hour inland. More than

0:18:510:18:53

that around exposed coasts. Tomorrow

morning, again, the risk of ice on

0:18:530:18:59

untreated surfaces. Possible

disruption if travelling because of

0:18:590:19:01

this combination. Take it easy.

Tomorrow morning, not dissimilar to

0:19:010:19:06

today. We lose the centre of low

pressure quickly and behind that,

0:19:060:19:12

sunshine and showers. Some of them

will be wintry in nature, especially

0:19:120:19:16

in the north and the west. At least

there will be sunshine. A lot going

0:19:160:19:22

on with the weather, Dan and Lou.

There really is. We will let you

0:19:220:19:30

have a cup of tea.

0:19:300:19:33

There really is. We will let you

have a cup of tea.

0:19:330:19:39

Let's take a look at today's papers.

0:19:390:19:42

The Telegraph. Reopening the Poppi

case. She may see justice finally

0:19:420:19:58

after prosecutors decided to review

it. The ex-wife of Rupert Murdoch

0:19:580:20:02

was a security risk because of ties

to Tony Blair.

The Guardian. Talking

0:20:020:20:11

about knife crime. The children of

these parents, one of them, as we

the authorities that they were kept

allegedly captive. They renew their

family, the family in America with

0:20:510:20:54

13 brothers and sisters kept in

horrible conditions in the family

just did that...

I was reading it

0:20:570:21:00

while you were talking. Sorry for

not listening. There is a lot of

0:21:000:21:03

news.

The front page of The Sun, and

There you go. Tried his best.

Running out of time. This is a lad

0:22:190:22:37

called John, a Carpenter, who

decided his fiancee had a better

0:22:370:22:40

time

0:22:400:22:49

time running a nail salon, and

retrained as a nail technician, and

0:22:490:22:52

is making less money, but is more

happy.

Is Arsene Wenger losing it?

0:22:520:22:56

Alexis Sanchez perhaps is going to

Manchester United. Many people in

0:22:560:22:59

the papers saying it is proof Arsene

Wenger is no longer in control at

0:22:590:23:06

Arsenal and should go.

If you have

watched Breakfast for a while, I am

0:23:060:23:13

biased. Labradors are apparently the

best dog in the world. I have two.

0:23:130:23:28

best dog in the world. I have two. I

love Waffle and Ruby. They are both

0:23:310:23:33

my children and I love them equally.

You have the two best dogs in the

0:23:330:23:37

country, then.

0:23:370:23:37

Donald Trump has been given a clean

bill of health by his doctor

0:23:370:23:41

following his first medical

as Commander-in-Chief.

0:23:410:23:43

Dr Ronny Jackson said the President

was in good shape for his age,

0:23:430:23:46

but could benefit from a lower-fat

diet and more exercise.

0:23:460:23:49

He also said he had "no concerns"

about Mr Trump's cognitive ability.

0:23:490:23:52

The examination also flagged up

the medication that the President

0:23:520:23:55

takes, including a drug

to combat hair loss,

0:23:550:23:57

and a daily aspirin.

0:23:570:24:05

Let's speak now to James Norton,

former Deputy Assistant Secretary

0:24:070:24:10

at the Department of

Homeland Security under George W

0:24:100:24:12

Bush.

0:24:120:24:14

Good morning. It seems extraordinary

that president has to reveal

0:24:140:24:17

personal details. What is the

purpose?

It was extraordinary to

0:24:170:24:23

have the Admiral speaking on behalf

of the president. Normally you get a

0:24:230:24:30

simple statement describing the

president's condition. I think this

0:24:300:24:35

White House in particular in the

last 12 months has struggled with

0:24:350:24:39

credibility. I think President Trump

has been criticised for his tweets

0:24:390:24:46

and the way in which they come out.

They are trying to knock down this

0:24:460:24:52

story, showing his physical and

mental health are both OK. There has

0:24:520:25:01

been a lot of conjecture about his

mental health. They wanted to

0:25:010:25:04

address that issue today.

We have a

copy of the Montreal cognitive

0:25:040:25:11

assessment. Looking at it, it seems

extraordinary that he is having to

0:25:110:25:19

identify the difference between a

lion, rhino, and a camel. Will it do

0:25:190:25:27

what is intended?

It will provide

some cover in the sense that this

0:25:270:25:32

was a big story. There were many

stories about his mental capacity

0:25:320:25:38

and tweets and things he has done. I

think it has helped them move the

0:25:380:25:43

ball a bit and get away from

physical and mental health, at least

0:25:430:25:47

for the time being. It is possible

if the tweaks later on today we come

0:25:470:25:52

back to this conversation. -- he

tweets. But it has provided cover.

0:25:520:25:58

So many issues are going on right

now that I am sure we will move onto

0:25:580:26:04

the next issue quickly I understand

some presidents had serious issue is

0:26:040:26:11

not made public after these.

Absolutely. -- issues. There have

0:26:110:26:19

been many, including some of the

first residents, not to mention

0:26:190:26:25

Roosevelt and President Kennedy,

they had serious illnesses that were

0:26:250:26:29

not disclosed. We now have a 24/7

news cycle. Everyone wants to know a

0:26:290:26:38

lot of information. It has become

very part is in in Washington and

0:26:380:26:44

the health of the president has

become a political issue. --

0:26:440:26:47

partisan. It has become more of an

issue than the past.

Looking at this

0:26:470:26:53

test again, it is particular,

specifically for dementia patients.

0:26:530:26:59

Yes. From what I understand from the

doctor, it is a test he requested.

0:26:590:27:08

Donald Trump watches the news quite

a bit and was keenly aware of the

0:27:080:27:11

criticism he was getting. He went

out of his way to get this test

0:27:110:27:18

taken made the decision to have the

doctor discussed the test. --

0:27:180:27:25

discuss. It seems like people they

had to get that out of the way.

--

0:27:250:27:31

like a plan they had.

0:27:310:27:39

We find it difficult to read that

clock, it is so far away.

0:27:390:27:48

clock, it is so far away. It is

6:27. Apparently it is being

0:27:480:27:50

rebooted.

Apparently the

0:27:500:27:57

rebooted.

Apparently the president

had to draw a clock at ten past 11.

0:27:570:27:59

Time to get the news, travel, and

0:27:590:31:20

Saturday. A frosty start on Sunday

is likely.

0:31:200:31:27

I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London Newsroom

0:31:270:31:29

in half an hour.

0:31:290:31:30

Now, though, it's back

to the BBC Breakfast sofa.

0:31:300:31:32

Now, though, it's back

to the BBC Breakfast sofa.

0:31:320:31:33

Bye for now.

0:31:330:31:35

Hello this is Breakfast,

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:31:350:31:38

We'll bring you all the latest news

and sport in a moment,

0:31:380:31:41

but also on Breakfast this morning.

0:31:410:31:42

It's as bad for your health

as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

0:31:420:31:46

Now a new minister has been

appointed to help the 9 million

0:31:460:31:49

people affected by loneliness.

0:31:490:31:52

It's as bad for your health

as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

0:31:520:31:55

Now a new minister has been

appointed to help the 9 million

0:31:550:31:59

people affected by loneliness.

0:31:590:32:00

We'll speak to her shortly.

0:32:000:32:01

Its collapse has left

an estimated 30,000 suppliers

0:32:010:32:03

and subcontractors out of pocket.

0:32:030:32:05

So why was Carillion sitting

on so many unpaid invoices?

0:32:050:32:07

Steph will explore

the issue of late payments.

0:32:070:32:10

I felt like I was actually doing

something useful and doing it well.

0:32:100:32:13

Marking 100 years of the Royal Air

0:32:130:32:15

Force.

0:32:150:32:15

We'll hear from the last surviving

British member of the Dambusters,

0:32:150:32:18

as the RAF prepares to reform

its most famous squadron.

0:32:180:32:21

Here's a summary of today's main

0:32:210:32:23

stories from BBC News.

0:32:230:32:28

Snow and ice are causing serious

problems on roads across Scotland,

0:32:280:32:33

Northern Ireland and northern

England with drivers stranded on

0:32:330:32:35

long queues on the 74 motorway.

Rescue teams are helping motorists

0:32:350:32:45

and people in Dumfries & Galloway

are being advised not to drive. Snow

0:32:450:32:50

has also caused problems forcing

schools to close. We earlier spoke

0:32:500:32:54

to a driver who. In his car all

night.

0:32:540:33:01

We were told nothing

other than what we could

0:33:010:33:04

glean from Twitter.

0:33:040:33:05

I understand mountain rescue was out

but we never saw them.

0:33:050:33:08

As the other motorists,

we only spoke to one of them.

0:33:080:33:11

Plenty of cars driving

up the hard shoulder.

0:33:110:33:13

We never wanted to leave the vehicle

for fear of collision.

0:33:130:33:18

More nurses left the health service

in England last year than joined -

0:33:180:33:21

the first time in 5 years

that there's been a net

0:33:210:33:24

reduction in staff.

0:33:240:33:29

BBC analysis of NHS data found that

just over 33,000 nurses left

0:33:290:33:32

the service - 3,000

more than signed up.

0:33:320:33:34

The Royal College of Nursing says

experienced staff are leaving

0:33:340:33:37

because they're demoralised.

0:33:370:33:38

NHS England's Chief Nursing Officer

says despite pressures,

0:33:380:33:40

front line staff are still

providing good care.

0:33:400:33:48

There are the places that we know

people are staying despite those

0:33:510:33:55

pressures because they know the care

they give is fantastic, they are

0:33:550:33:59

working under enormous pressure,

absolutely. The challenges over the

0:33:590:34:02

past few months in particular have

been significant. Probably more than

0:34:020:34:06

most of them have ever seen but they

are still in, they are still

0:34:060:34:10

working, they are still providing

good care.

0:34:100:34:12

Police in California have praised

the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

0:34:120:34:15

who escaped from the home

where she and her 12 siblings

0:34:150:34:18

were allegedly being held

captive by their parents.

0:34:180:34:21

Police in California have praised

the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

0:34:210:34:24

who escaped from the home

where she and her 12 siblings

0:34:240:34:27

were allegedly being held

captive by their parents.

0:34:270:34:32

David and Louise Turpin -

whose children range in age from 2

0:34:320:34:35

to 29 - are due to appear

in court later this week,

0:34:350:34:38

charged with torture

and child endangerment.

0:34:380:34:40

Investigators say they had had no

previous contacts with the couple.

0:34:400:34:44

I haven't been so

shocked in my life.

0:34:440:34:46

It broke my heart and all of our

hearts and I just pray to God

0:34:460:34:50

they take care of the kids.

0:34:500:34:55

I hope they prosecute her to the

full extent of the law, even though

0:34:550:34:59

she is my niece, because those kids

don't deserve that.

0:34:590:35:04

Donald Trump has been advised to eat

a lower fat diet and take more

0:35:040:35:08

exercise, after his first

medical check-up in office.

0:35:080:35:10

However the White House doctor

says the President -

0:35:100:35:13

who's 71 - is generally in excellent

health and that he performed well

0:35:130:35:16

in cognitive tests.

0:35:160:35:17

The Bayeux Tapestry is to return

to Britain for the first time

0:35:170:35:20

since it was made

in the 11th century.

0:35:200:35:23

The 70m-long embroidery,

which tells the story of the Battle

0:35:230:35:25

of Hastings, has been kept in France

for the last 950 years but will go

0:35:250:35:29

on display in Britain

after months of talks.

0:35:290:35:32

The BBC understands that

French President Emmanuel Macron

0:35:320:35:34

will confirm the loan when he meets

Theresa May tomorrow.

0:35:340:35:38

Should we just quickly tell you

about what is going on. Police

0:35:380:35:42

Scotland has told us in the last few

moments, they are having problems on

0:35:420:35:48

the 74 between junctions 15 and

nine. Many people were still stuck

0:35:480:35:53

there. Vehicles still stuck from

Junction 12 to Junction 9.

0:35:530:35:59

One lane opened northbound but they

will close that soon. Quite a bit of

0:35:590:36:04

detail there for you and we will

have a full update with Carol on the

0:36:040:36:08

weather situation because there is

snow for many parts of the UK.

0:36:080:36:12

Outside, it is all right. It's

totally fine. Coming home from

0:36:120:36:17

Sheffield was a bit brutal.

We are

talking about the video assistant

0:36:170:36:23

referee because he was actually used

properly and could determine if the

0:36:230:36:27

goal was on side of the first time.

Let's have a look at how it panned

0:36:270:36:34

out. This is Leicester and

Fleetwood.

0:36:340:36:41

Fleetwood. No problems there are

all.

0:36:410:36:44

Kelechi Iheanacho put Leicester 1

nil ahead against the League One

0:36:440:36:47

side at the King Power.

0:36:470:36:48

And then came his second,

0:36:480:36:50

at first ruled offside

by the linesman, referred to the VAR

0:36:500:36:53

and after careful consideration

he was judged to have been onside.

0:36:530:37:01

We were a lot better obviously on

the first leg, we knew that we had

0:37:020:37:07

to perform a lot better and be a bit

more professional on the pitch. We

0:37:070:37:11

have done that tonight, got the

result and this man has got the

0:37:110:37:15

goals and it shows that VAR does

work.

0:37:150:37:18

There were no upsets in any of last

night's other four replays.

0:37:180:37:21

West Ham were taken to extra time

by League One Shrewsbury,

0:37:210:37:24

but the Premier League

side made it through.

0:37:240:37:26

Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday

and Reading are also

0:37:260:37:28

through to the fourth round.

0:37:280:37:32

World heavyweight champion

Anthony Joshua and fellow world

0:37:320:37:34

champion Joseph Parker have come

face to face in Cardiff.

0:37:340:37:37

There is some flash

photography coming up.

0:37:370:37:39

They will meet in a heavyweight

unification clash at the end

0:37:390:37:42

of March in the Welsh capital.

0:37:420:37:44

The fight will unify Joshua's WBA

and IBF belts with Parker's WBO

0:37:440:37:47

title, and Joshua says he needs

to box intelligently to beat him.

0:37:470:37:51

He hasn't got that, I want to climb

back up the mountain, because at the

0:37:510:37:56

moment is sitting on top of it but

he has the lion 's mentality that

0:37:560:38:00

anybody climbing up it, he wants to

kick back down. Let's say I'm a

0:38:000:38:04

level below him, I have to be

strategic. By facing head-on, it

0:38:040:38:07

will be a clash of the Titans that

if I get is a tension that way and

0:38:070:38:15

come here and bank amount from the

right, he is not going to see him

0:38:150:38:19

coming.

0:38:190:38:21

Ronnie O'Sullivan rattled

through his first round match

0:38:210:38:23

at the Masters snooker allowing

Marco Fu to pot only 8 balls in a 6

0:38:230:38:27

frames

0:38:270:38:28

to nil thrashing.

0:38:280:38:29

O'Sullivan's won this tournament

a record seven times.

0:38:290:38:31

And he made three century breaks

in the first four frames in a match

0:38:310:38:34

that only lasted just over an hour

and a half at Alexandra

0:38:340:38:38

Palace.

0:38:380:38:38

Amazingly Ronnie reckoned

he's wasn't at his best.

0:38:380:38:43

I have a virus or something and I

just felt very dizzy and I felt sort

0:38:430:38:47

of... Really? You looked in good

form. I just planned off instinct,

0:38:470:38:52

don't think, just pot balls but

really struggling over the last 56

0:38:520:38:57

days.

Have you been struggling with

illness? No, I've just been feeling

0:38:570:39:01

dizzy.

You couldn't give it to me?

Maybe a lack of magnesium I was

0:39:010:39:06

told, I have been eating well for

the last few months.

0:39:060:39:10

Britain's Kyle Edmund

has reached the third

0:39:100:39:12

round of the Australian Open

for the first time.

0:39:120:39:14

The British number two beat

Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan

0:39:140:39:17

in straight sets.

0:39:170:39:18

Edmund goes on to face world number

61 Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia

0:39:180:39:21

next.

0:39:210:39:22

Rafa Nadal is on court right now

against Florian Mayer.

0:39:220:39:27

Coverage of that and all the action,

including a hard fought victory

0:39:270:39:31

for number two seed

Caroline Wozniacki,

0:39:310:39:39

is on Five Live Sports Extra

and the BBC Sport website.

0:39:390:39:42

Where you can also see pictures

of a confused Roger Federer.

0:39:420:39:45

He's having a day off

today but yesterday,

0:39:450:39:47

after reaching the second round,

had to face some tough questions

0:39:470:39:50

from American actor Will Ferrell,

in the guise of character

0:39:500:39:53

Ron Burgundy from

the film Anchorman.

0:39:530:39:57

Tonight you seemed like a gazelle

out there on the court. Would you

0:39:570:40:02

describe your game as a silky

gazelle?

Maybe. Maybe not.

Don't

0:40:020:40:13

they get eaten at the end? Not if

they are fast enough.

0:40:130:40:22

they are fast enough.

Isn't it the

other guy who does the sport in

0:40:220:40:25

anchorman? Brick. That is a better

interview than Brick could manage.

0:40:250:40:34

It's a problem we have returned

to many times on Breakfast -

0:40:340:40:38

loneliness and the growing issue

of social isolation.

0:40:380:40:40

Experts have told us how bad it can

be for our health and we've also

0:40:400:40:44

looked at some of the innovativeNow

the government has accepted

0:40:440:40:47

the scale of the problem and is

launching a national strategy.

0:40:470:40:50

It will be led by minister

Tracey Crouch, who joins us

0:40:500:40:53

from our Westminster studio.

solutions out there.

0:40:530:41:01

Thank you for joining us from

Westminster. The government is

0:41:060:41:10

recognising the scale of this

problem but has it been backed up by

0:41:100:41:13

actual policy?

Absolutely. I'm proud

to have been appointed the minister

0:41:130:41:19

the loneliness to tackle this

problem that we face, not just on

0:41:190:41:23

this occasion but many times before.

We know there is a real impact of

0:41:230:41:29

social isolation and loneliness on

people, their physical and mental

0:41:290:41:34

well-being. And who want to tackle

this challenge. It's going to be

0:41:340:41:39

huge. I have been given the role of

working across government,

0:41:390:41:44

businesses, community organisations

and charities, to tackle this

0:41:440:41:47

challenge.

This is something we

speak about regularly and something

0:41:470:41:52

people would feel quite deeply and

passionately about. Will you get

0:41:520:41:57

extra financial support from the

Chancellor?

We have said we will set

0:41:570:42:03

up a new innovation fund to help

tackle this solution. How big? Many

0:42:030:42:10

millions of pounds but who don't

know the precise figure and that is

0:42:100:42:14

the reason, the commission which has

done excellent work on

0:42:140:42:18

recommendations, wants to help us

design the fund said in a process,

0:42:180:42:23

we will come to a figure but it will

not be one fund, there are others

0:42:230:42:27

out there. And the thing to remember

is, we will be working across

0:42:270:42:33

government and each government

department has funds to tackle the

0:42:330:42:36

issues said this is a real

opportunity to get to grips with

0:42:360:42:40

this problem and it's not just

within the elderly, it's an issue

0:42:400:42:43

which has talked about a lot, but

there are other age groups, other

0:42:430:42:48

groups in society that also face a

real challenge of loneliness and

0:42:480:42:52

that is one of the issues we have to

get to grips with.

Isn't the problem

0:42:520:42:58

that the government, local authority

cuts, and Labourites saying half of

0:42:580:43:05

local authorities did not spend

anything on loneliness services

0:43:050:43:09

because of cuts to those services?

Local authority funding is a

0:43:090:43:14

challenge to the sector. We need to

make sure that we do support those

0:43:140:43:21

charities to continue to do their

excellent work. But we are looking

0:43:210:43:29

at specific issues around tackling

loneliness. Different groups in

0:43:290:43:34

society. A lot of great work going

on out there. We need to have a

0:43:340:43:39

holistic look at how we can deal

with these issues. This is an

0:43:390:43:44

enormous opportunity to build on the

work of Jo Cox and the commission,

0:43:440:43:49

cross-party, across all sectors, to

make sure we look at a framework and

0:43:490:43:55

going forward. This will not be a

single document something we do over

0:43:550:44:00

the next year, something we really

take on and recognise this is a

0:44:000:44:05

generational challenge.

Whenever we

take on this topic, will they talk

0:44:050:44:12

about things like libraries and day

centres which are disappearing. This

0:44:120:44:17

is a financial issue which if those

things were there,...

We will look

0:44:170:44:24

at how we can address those issues.

Those are just parts of that. There

0:44:240:44:29

isn't a single problem or solution.

That is one of the reasons why the

0:44:290:44:34

Prime Minister has set the Minister

to work across the whole of

0:44:340:44:38

government to make sure we have a

joined up approach to this, that we

0:44:380:44:42

do look at some of the issues that

we face in different areas of

0:44:420:44:45

society. You have mentioned there

will be many more and those are one

0:44:450:44:50

of the challenges we face.

There is

a story that has been picked up by

0:44:500:44:55

the papers. Your fellow MP Ben

Bradley, give the jobless

0:44:550:45:01

vasectomies. This is a blog that he

wrote a few years ago and he says he

0:45:010:45:07

has matured a little bit. Doesn't

this get the part of the root of the

0:45:070:45:11

problem for Conservative Party

politicians, engaging with young

0:45:110:45:16

voters?

I don't agree with his

comments. He made those comments

0:45:160:45:20

when he was younger. I think that we

face challenges, engaging with

0:45:200:45:27

youngsters. I am also engaged in

youth policy and working with many

0:45:270:45:35

members of youth groups as I do

already to make sure we engage them

0:45:350:45:39

in the democratic process.

When you

work with those youth groups and

0:45:390:45:42

they tell you about Ben Bradley and

those comments, doesn't this hit the

0:45:420:45:48

Tory party exactly where it hurts?

You are not appealing to these

0:45:480:45:52

people. When somebody who is set to

have a big future in the

0:45:520:45:59

Conservative Party says this, and

has to apologise for it, that is

0:45:590:46:04

more weight added to the opinion

that you are not serving those

0:46:040:46:08

people?

I disagree with you on that.

0:46:080:46:16

We will have to engage with youth,

making sure we engage the issues and

0:46:160:46:23

challenges they face in society.

Young people are as at risk of

0:46:230:46:30

loneliness and social isolation as

the elderly, and I will look at that

0:46:300:46:36

as part of my new role.

0:46:360:46:39

You're watching

Breakfast from BBC News.

0:46:390:46:40

The main stories this morning:

0:46:400:46:42

We are looking at the impact of the

snow. Good morning.

0:46:420:46:48

We are looking at the impact of the

snow. Good morning. We will start by

0:46:480:46:53

looking at the latest snow depths.

39 centimetres of lying snow. That

0:46:530:47:00

is just over 15 inches.

0:47:000:47:07

is just over 15 inches. Some of that

will be blown in by strong winds

0:47:080:47:11

overnight.

0:47:110:47:16

overnight. Lots of hazards if

travelling this morning. Snow

0:47:190:47:22

showers will continue on and off

through the day in Scotland. A risk

0:47:220:47:27

of ice. Strong winds, but they will

very slowly ease through the next

0:47:270:47:34

few hours. The wind is slowing down.

Northern England, a risk of ice.

0:47:340:47:41

Sunshine. It will go away through

the day. Wales and southern England,

0:47:410:47:47

East Anglia, dry weather this

morning. It is cold. The risk of

0:47:470:47:53

ice. Showers will be rainy. Late in

the day, in heavy showers, you might

0:47:530:48:00

see sleet and hail. Showers persist.

Some left in northern England. In

0:48:000:48:11

Northern

0:48:110:48:18

Northern Ireland, easing a touch.

7-8. Feeling cold wherever you are.

0:48:180:48:20

The system behind me is developing

in the Atlantic. This area of low

0:48:200:48:25

pressure will bring a combination of

rain and gales and snow. If we look

0:48:250:48:30

at it, here it comes from the west.

8pm. Strong winds. Northern Ireland,

0:48:300:48:41

snow in the north. It will be in the

hills. Northern Ireland will

0:48:410:48:50

hills. Northern Ireland will not see

much in the hills. As we go east,

0:48:520:48:56

heavy snowfall in two northern

England and parts of Scotland,

0:48:560:48:59

possibly as far north as the Central

Lowlands. This will go through quite

0:48:590:49:02

quickly. This out, rain moving

quickly across accompanied by gales.

0:49:020:49:09

-- the south. Inland,

0:49:090:49:16

-- the south. Inland, gales, gusts

of wind up to 50 miles per hour. In

0:49:170:49:23

Liverpool, 70 miles per hour.

Eastern areas, windy. The threat of

0:49:230:49:29

snow. The coastline, sleet. Not far

inland, in the hills, snow.

0:49:290:49:36

Tomorrow, the risk of ice. Many

hazards. Some could lead to

0:49:360:49:42

disruption. Snow will blow. The wind

will be strong, especially in

0:49:420:49:49

Scotland, as that is where the

centre of low pressure is. Tomorrow,

0:49:490:49:52

that is the system. A lot of showers

and sunshine. Some of those will be

0:49:520:50:00

wintry, even at lower levels, in

parts of Scotland and also Northern

0:50:000:50:03

Ireland. Temperature-wise, feeling

cold, especially in the north. 2-3.

0:50:030:50:10

The Channel Islands is the place to

be, looking at 11.

Police say there

0:50:100:50:17

are still issues, especially on the

M74. If you are driving, you need to

0:50:170:50:22

prepare.

Definitely. And take its

low. Take your winter tyres. They

0:50:220:50:32

could help. Everyone is sensible and

knows how to behave.

Thank you very

0:50:320:50:36

much.

I know you have a busy day and

are keeping us right up-to-date.

I

0:50:360:50:43

have an emergency flapjack in the

glove compartment. That will help

0:50:430:50:49

when you are digging yourself out

0:50:490:50:51

glove compartment. That will help

when you are digging yourself out of

0:50:510:50:51

the snow.

0:50:510:50:56

We are looking at why big businesses

can get away with things. Many

0:50:580:51:04

people are talking about how on

Earth we can get to a point with so

0:51:040:51:09

many suppliers out of pocket, many

of them small businesses.

Good

0:51:090:51:13

morning.

0:51:130:51:14

It's estimated around 30,000

suppliers and subcontractors

0:51:140:51:16

are still owed money

by the construction firm Carillion,

0:51:160:51:18

after it collapsed on Monday.

0:51:180:51:20

This morning, Steph is looking

at why some big businesses can get

0:51:200:51:23

away with paying up late.

0:51:230:51:31

For us, generally, we have a few

customers who are habitually late.

0:51:350:51:44

Unfortunately, from my point of

view, they are large customers. We

0:51:440:51:51

have to make a decision about the

value of the customer and whether or

0:51:510:51:55

not the money is safe. Generally

speaking, we try and not go down the

0:51:550:52:01

legal route, but if we have to, we

have to.

0:52:010:52:04

Alan Laing is MD of Sage UK

and Northern Ireland,

0:52:040:52:07

an accounting software firm that

works with thousands of small

0:52:070:52:10

businesses and campaigns

on late payment.

0:52:100:52:13

Why is this such a problem?

They

conducted a survey into late

0:52:130:52:18

payments, because customers told us

it is an issue. It told us 18% are

0:52:180:52:26

paid late. That is more than any

other in the country we surveyed. It

0:52:260:52:31

is a big issue for small business.

When we say late, what are we

0:52:310:52:35

talking about? How does it work on

average?

Some of the small

0:52:350:52:40

businesses we have talked to have

not set payment terms upfront, which

0:52:400:52:44

is an issue they need to think

about. It can be anything up to 9%

0:52:440:52:49

of invoices never get paid, they are

written off. Translate that to the

0:52:490:52:54

world economy, that is, you know, $3

trillion of money not getting paid.

0:52:540:53:00

It has a big impact on small

business.

What can businesses do?

0:53:000:53:04

The main reason they do this is

because 40% said it is because of

0:53:040:53:11

the relationship, they do not want

to jeopardise the relationship with

0:53:110:53:14

the supplier, and are not having the

discussion. Small businesses are not

0:53:140:53:21

being paid by big business. The

government set out a strategy some

0:53:210:53:26

time ago to make sure it is paid on

time. All businesses need to be

0:53:260:53:31

responsible and make a cultural

change that this is not acceptable.

0:53:310:53:37

It is impacting the productivity of

the UK.

The companies who are not

0:53:370:53:42

paying, how are they getting away

with it? It is hard to understand.

0:53:420:53:47

9% never get the money. How do they

get away with it?

As he said, it is

0:53:470:53:53

difficult to counter. There is the

legal route. Is it there in the

0:53:530:53:59

first place? They don't have the

resources to follow up. There are

0:53:590:54:02

some good things around. There are

industrial strategies. There is a

0:54:020:54:09

great website with information on

how you can seek help.

As well is

0:54:090:54:16

that, there was a strategy about

corrupt payment. Even

0:54:160:54:25

corrupt payment. Even the government

sets out to pay small business in

0:54:250:54:27

time.

There were regulations put

forward on how governments would ask

0:54:270:54:32

companies to register payment. That

is a good initiative but has not

0:54:320:54:39

been followed up. Relatively few

companies have done it.

Will bring

0:54:390:54:43

change given how many companies are

affected?

It is affecting the UK's

0:54:430:54:50

productivity. It is about businesses

having that conversation. It is

0:54:500:54:55

about Britain not liking to talk

about money. You have to pay on

0:54:550:55:01

time, because if you do not, you are

not a bank, you are not.

Thank you.

0:55:010:55:10

We will cover this story for some

time. Get in touch with us if you

0:55:100:55:16

have any thoughts or are connected

to the story.

0:55:160:55:22

Something different. Sneezing. There

was a story about a man who damaged

0:55:220:55:34

himself by blocking his nose while

sneezing.

There is that old wives

0:55:340:55:42

tale that if you

0:55:420:55:50

tale that if you sneeze while

holding your nose, your eyes could

0:55:500:55:53

pop out. We will talk to an expert.

That will not happen.

0:55:530:56:01

That will not happen. Bless you

everybody. Why do we sneeze? All of

0:56:180:56:21

that. It is the season for sniffles.

We should sign a pact to never show

0:56:210:56:25

that again. That was horrible.

You

have been trying to persuade me not

0:56:250:56:28

to do the silent sneeze.

It is

impressive. You need to get to know

0:56:280:56:32

Louise to see it. It is impressive.

I cannot

0:56:320:59:56

A frosty start on Sunday is likely.

0:59:560:59:58

I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London Newsroom

0:59:581:00:00

in half an hour.

1:00:001:00:03

Hello - this is Breakfast,

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:00:311:00:34

Hundreds of drivers stranded

overnight as heavy snow sweeps

1:00:341:00:37

across the UK.

1:00:371:00:37

Mountain rescue teams are drafted

1:00:371:00:39

in as blizzard conditions leave

motorists stuck for up to 8 hours

1:00:391:00:42

on the M74 in Scotland.

1:00:421:00:50

Scotland, Northern Ireland and

northern England are affected by the

1:00:541:01:00

snow. There is more in the way later

on.

1:01:001:01:08

Good morning, it's

Wednesday 17th January.

1:01:151:01:16

Also this morning:

1:01:161:01:18

More nurses are quitting the NHS

in England than joining.

1:01:181:01:23

Senior nurses warn that too many

staff are demoralised by the job.

1:01:231:01:26

Fit for office.

1:01:261:01:27

Donald Trump passes his medical

as the White House doctor

1:01:271:01:30

says his "cognitive

ability" is normal.

1:01:301:01:34

Carillion owed more than a billion

pounds when it went bust -

1:01:341:01:37

but now we didn't even have enough

cash for 5% of the bill.

1:01:371:01:44

It owed more than a billion pounds

to the bank but when Carillion

1:01:441:01:48

collapsed it had just 29

million left in cash.

1:01:481:01:50

The first goal is awarded

by the video assistant referee.

1:01:501:01:58

The last of the dambusters tells

about his life in the skies.

1:02:021:02:08

First, our main story.

1:02:081:02:09

Snow and ice are causing serious

problems on roads across Scotland,

1:02:091:02:12

Northern Ireland and Northern

England, with drivers stranded

1:02:121:02:14

in long queues on the M74 motorway.

1:02:141:02:16

Mountain rescue teams

are helping trapped motorists,

1:02:161:02:18

and people in Dumfries and Galloway

are being advised not to drive.

1:02:181:02:26

Snow has also caused problems

in Northern Ireland,

1:02:261:02:28

forcing schools to close

and disrupting public transport.

1:02:281:02:30

Ian Palmer reports.

1:02:301:02:35

Rescuing the drivers trapped

in their cars overnight on the main

1:02:351:02:38

motorway between

England and Scotland.

1:02:381:02:40

Heavy snow meant treacherous

conditions for the emergency

1:02:401:02:42

services on the M74.

1:02:421:02:48

The icy weather kept some motorists

in freezing cars for more

1:02:481:02:51

than eight hours.

1:02:511:02:52

Very little has been

happening, I'm afraid.

1:02:521:02:54

We've barely moved.

1:02:541:02:58

I'm not that far away

from Motherwell still.

1:02:581:03:01

In total, very little movement.

1:03:011:03:08

BM 74 runs from Gretna Green to

Cosco. The main problems were from

1:03:081:03:13

Junction 12 to 15 and the wild

weather is not going away. The Met

1:03:131:03:18

Office has issued a number of

warnings for:

1:03:181:03:23

On the Isle of Skye,

1:03:231:03:25

the main road was closed for several

1:03:251:03:27

hours in both directions

by jackknifed lorry.

1:03:271:03:29

Two buses carrying pupils

were forced to return to school

1:03:291:03:32

for the night.

1:03:321:03:40

without people hours medical. So

quite a long time. We have managed

1:03:471:03:51

to assist people and get fuel back

to them but mostly it's been

1:03:511:03:54

checking the welfare of people in

our cars.

1:03:541:04:00

Dozens

of schools closed

1:04:001:04:01

yesterday across Scotland affecting

1:04:011:04:02

thousands of children.

1:04:021:04:03

But it wasn't all doom and gloom.

1:04:031:04:05

In Selkirk, the scene was worthy

of a seasonal postcard with people

1:04:051:04:08

living on higher ground

witnessing the heavy snowfall.

1:04:081:04:10

In Dumfries, snowploughs

worked around the clock

1:04:101:04:16

to keep motorists moving.

1:04:161:04:17

This was the picture in Glasgow.

1:04:171:04:19

And in Edinburgh, only the most

determined ventured out in our cars.

1:04:191:04:23

Gritters have been out

through the night to avoid a repeat

1:04:231:04:31

of the problems for drivers

on the M74 but Police Scotland say

1:04:311:04:34

if you can avoid travelling this

morning, you should do so.

1:04:341:04:37

Ian Palmer, BBC News.

1:04:371:04:42

The Met Office has issued warnings

for most of the country,

1:04:421:04:45

with many areas at risk

of snow, ice or wind.

1:04:451:04:48

Carol has the latest.

1:04:481:04:56

He and the weather warning expires

at eight o'clock settings will

1:05:041:05:08

slowly start to improve. Snow

showers across Northern Ireland but

1:05:081:05:12

the intensity of them will ease off

on the strength of the wind will

1:05:121:05:16

slowly ease however later on this

afternoon, a deep area of low

1:05:161:05:19

pressure

1:05:191:05:20

afternoon, a deep area of low

pressure coming in from the Atlantic

1:05:201:05:21

bringing rain, heavy snow and some

gales as we go through the latter

1:05:211:05:26

part of this evening. It will be

largely rain with hill snow, rain

1:05:261:05:31

with hill snow in Wales but heavy

snow across northern England,

1:05:311:05:36

southern and central Scotland. The

strongest winds.

1:05:361:05:44

Gusts of 40- 50 miles an hour. If

you are in an area with running

1:05:441:05:52

snow, we are looking at lizards,

particularly on higher ground. That

1:05:521:05:58

will be gone through the course of

tomorrow morning. We are not out of

1:05:581:06:03

the woods just yet.

1:06:031:06:04

Are you waking up

to snow this morning?

1:06:041:06:06

Have you been stuck

in traffic overnight?

1:06:061:06:08

You can send us your photos

and videos to our new WhatsApp

1:06:081:06:16

More nurses left the health service

in England last year than joined -

1:06:341:06:38

the first time in 5 years

that there's been a net

1:06:381:06:40

reduction in staff.

1:06:401:06:41

Just over 33,000 nurses

left the service -

1:06:411:06:43

3,000 more than signed up.

1:06:431:06:45

The Royal College of Nursing says

more must be done to support younger

1:06:451:06:48

nurses at the start

of their careers.

1:06:481:06:50

Let's speak to our Health

Correspondent Dominic Hughes,

1:06:501:06:52

who's at Birmingham

Children's hospital.

1:06:521:06:54

Dominic, what's the current

situation, what do these statistics

1:06:541:06:56

Dominic, what's the current

situation, what do these statistics

1:06:561:06:59

show us?

1:06:591:06:59

They are worrying. Good morning from

Birmingham Children's Hospital. We

1:06:591:07:06

are in Ward 11 which is part of the

world-renowned cardiology unit. It

1:07:061:07:10

are in Ward 11 which is part of the

world-renowned cardiology unit. It

1:07:101:07:10

is one of the biggest and busiest in

the UK. Here they treat children

1:07:101:07:15

from Little baby infant 's right up

to adolescence. It's a bit gloomy

1:07:151:07:21

behind me. The award is now

beginning to get ready for the next

1:07:211:07:27

day. Why are we here? Today, we are

looking at the work of the UK's

1:07:271:07:33

nurses. We asked the NHS to provide

as figures on these nurses so we can

1:07:331:07:41

get a snapshot on how the profession

is doing as the NHS is quite under a

1:07:411:07:45

bit of stress. All we found is

concerning. We found that more than

1:07:451:07:54

33,000 nurses walked away from their

health services job in the last

1:07:541:07:57

year. That is a 20% increase

compared to the year before. And

1:07:571:08:05

those leaving outnumber those

joining and one in four of those

1:08:051:08:09

leaving are relatively young. The

Department of Health points out that

1:08:091:08:12

in England certainly, there are more

nurses working on hospital wards

1:08:121:08:16

today than there were in 2010 but

it's clear the retention of

1:08:161:08:21

qualified and experienced nursing

staff is a problem, not just in

1:08:211:08:24

England but right across the UK.

1:08:241:08:31

We will be speaking to a nurse from

that hospital later.

1:08:311:08:35

More details have emerged

of the final days of construction

1:08:351:08:38

giant Carillion in a document put

together by the company's chief

1:08:381:08:41

executive as he prepared

to declare the firm insolvent.

1:08:411:08:43

Steph has been looking

into this and joins us now.

1:08:431:08:46

So, what more have we learnt

about how much trouble Carillion

1:08:461:08:49

was in?

1:08:491:08:50

Yes, because it gives you a real

snapshot of what life was like the

1:08:501:08:55

Carillion in the run-up to the

mountain Singh they would be

1:08:551:08:58

liquidated. The first big number in

all of this is how much money they

1:08:581:09:02

have left on the day that they

announced they were going into

1:09:021:09:07

liquidation and its £29 million.

That sounds like an awful lot to us

1:09:071:09:11

that if you think the money they

owed was over 1.5 billion, this is

1:09:111:09:18

small fry. They couldn't keep the

operations running and that is why

1:09:181:09:23

they went into liquidation. There

were lots of meetings with the

1:09:231:09:27

government so the Chief Executive

has been saying they met in October.

1:09:271:09:32

They met with the government to try

and find some way to keep the

1:09:321:09:37

business going and in particular,

get the banks off their backs

1:09:371:09:41

because that was the problem. The

banks, several banks involved, all

1:09:411:09:44

big High Street names, they were

wanting their money back. That all

1:09:441:09:50

came to a head on the 31st of

December. They put in a formal

1:09:501:09:56

request to the government which

involved them wanting a guarantee

1:09:561:10:02

for four months that the government

would cover their payments if they

1:10:021:10:06

couldn't afford to repay the banks.

They also wanted to defer their tax

1:10:061:10:10

payments that they owed. The

government said no to this. Then,

1:10:101:10:17

following that process, they

couldn't continue to run. The banks

1:10:171:10:20

were wanting their money back and

they couldn't afford to pay and keep

1:10:201:10:24

up with it. That's when they went

into liquidation. The business would

1:10:241:10:32

have to start recouping that money.

That's why it went into liquidation.

1:10:321:10:36

They couldn't put it into

administration because there wasn't

1:10:361:10:42

enough money in the pot. Since then,

lots of questions about how on Earth

1:10:421:10:48

did they ever get to this point

where such a huge company, much more

1:10:481:10:53

in the supply chain. Now there is a

fast-tracked investigation which is

1:10:531:11:00

not a shock to anyone because people

want to know, has there been

1:11:001:11:05

mismanagement?

1:11:051:11:11

mismanagement? I know you will be

continuing to talk about it.

1:11:111:11:17

Police in California have praised

the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

1:11:171:11:20

who escaped from the home

where she and her 12 siblings

1:11:201:11:24

were allegedly being held

captive by their parents.

1:11:241:11:28

David and Louise Turpin -

whose children range in age from two

1:11:281:11:31

to 29 - are due to appear

in court later this week,

1:11:311:11:34

charged with torture

and child endangerment.

1:11:341:11:36

Investigators say they had had no

previous contacts with the couple.

1:11:361:11:39

Donald Trump has been given a clean

bill of health by his doctor,

1:11:391:11:42

following his first medical

as commander-in-chief.

1:11:421:11:44

Dr Ronny Jackson said

the President was in good shape

1:11:441:11:47

for his age, but could benefit

from a lower-fat diet

1:11:471:11:49

and more exercise.

1:11:491:11:54

He also said he had "no concerns"

about Mr Trump's cognitive ability.

1:11:541:11:57

The examination also

flagged up the medication

1:11:571:11:59

that the President takes,

including a drug to combat hair

1:11:591:12:01

loss, and a daily asprin.

1:12:011:12:03

As part of his medical the President

took part in a cognitive awareness

1:12:031:12:06

test.

1:12:061:12:10

I think we can show it to you. We

both got one here. A scientific test

1:12:101:12:22

called the Montreal scientific

cognitive assessment test and

1:12:221:12:26

imagine a lot of people would be

looking at this test. It asks some

1:12:261:12:34

questions, and there are a sequence

of letters here. You have to tap

1:12:341:12:38

your hand. It's an early onset

dementia test, isn't it? 30 out of

1:12:381:12:46

30, which you would hope he would

get.

1:12:461:12:49

The Bayeux Tapestry is to return

to Britain for the first time

1:12:491:12:53

since it was made

in the 11th century.

1:12:531:12:55

The 70m-long embroidery,

which tells the story of the Battle

1:12:551:12:58

of Hastings, has been kept in France

for the last 950 years but will go

1:12:581:13:05

on display in Britain

after months of talks.

1:13:051:13:07

The BBC understands that

French President Emmanuel Macron

1:13:071:13:14

will confirm the loan when he meets

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:13:141:13:18

It's not a tapestry, it's an

embroidery. I have some more Bayeux

1:13:181:13:24

tapestry facts for you later on.

1:13:241:13:26

"A dangerous and downward spiral" -

1:13:261:13:28

that's how nursing leaders have

described the news that thousands

1:13:281:13:31

more nurses left the NHS

last year than joined.

1:13:311:13:33

BBC analysis of health service

data has shown that over

1:13:331:13:36

33,000 walked away from already

under-staffed wards.

1:13:361:13:38

Our health correspondent

Dominic Hughes has been

1:13:381:13:39

finding out why.

1:13:391:13:47

She became a nurse to help people,

excited at the prospect of making a

1:13:481:13:53

difference but in the end, the job

overwhelmed Mary Trevelyan.

I would

1:13:531:13:58

end up in tears during a shift

because there was just so much

1:13:581:14:03

pressure and stress.

A never-ending

list of things to do. Guilt over not

1:14:031:14:07

having enough time to care for

patients, stress leading to

1:14:071:14:12

depression and Mary has had to leave

the job she loved.

I want to be a

1:14:121:14:17

great nurse and I want to give my

patients my best but I feel I can't

1:14:171:14:22

do that at the moment because we are

just too short staffed, too busy.

1:14:221:14:26

There are far too many things for us

to be doing.

We have analysed the

1:14:261:14:32

number of nurses working in the NHS

in England. Last year, more than

1:14:321:14:37

33,000 nurses walked away from their

health service jobs. That's a 20%

1:14:371:14:42

rise compared to four years ago and

those leaving outnumber those

1:14:421:14:48

joining. And almost one in four of

those leaving are relatively young,

1:14:481:14:52

under 30. All of this has

potentially serious implications for

1:14:521:14:58

a sustainable nursing profession.

Unless we can actually improve the

1:14:581:15:04

number of nurses that there to

support the new nurses coming in, it

1:15:041:15:08

becomes a continuous vicious cycle

where people won't want to stay

1:15:081:15:12

because they've not got the support

the workplace.

Many nurses are

1:15:121:15:17

thinking about or have already left

the profession and let's just one

1:15:171:15:21

reason why so many hospitals are

struggling to recruit properly

1:15:211:15:26

trained staff. Yet the government

tells us thousands more nurses are

1:15:261:15:31

working in the NHS today than they

were in 2010. In order to retain

1:15:311:15:35

staff to keep them on the books,

they need to give them new

1:15:351:15:39

opportunities. And that's what

nurses like Sarah Dalby are making

1:15:391:15:42

the most of. She is now able to

perform surgery thanks to specialist

1:15:421:15:48

training, developing new skills

which are taken a long way from the

1:15:481:15:52

traditional norm nursing role.

It is

always nice to have an option to

1:15:521:15:55

develop into another pathway or

opportunity of that's what you want

1:15:551:15:59

to do, it's not for everyone,

because nursing is so varied and

1:15:591:16:03

it's so privileged to be a nurse

because patients, they are so

1:16:031:16:08

vulnerable and it's certainly

challenging at the moment but that

1:16:081:16:11

doesn't take away from what we are

doing as a career.

Mary has not

1:16:111:16:15

turned her back on nursing

altogether. Like some of her

1:16:151:16:19

friends, she is now thinking of

working abroad but today's NHS is

1:16:191:16:23

not further and many other nurses

appear to be reaching a similar

1:16:231:16:26

conclusion.

1:16:261:16:33

This is a chief nurse. Good morning.

Thank you for joining us. You are a

1:16:331:16:40

chief nurse. I understand your

nurses are not leaving in the same

1:16:401:16:46

kinds of numbers. Is that the case?

That is correct. Good morning. We

1:16:461:16:54

are slightly more fortunate to be in

a better position. There are many

1:16:541:16:59

factors. First of all, thank you to

the BBC for putting the focus on

1:16:591:17:05

nursing. Everything we said in those

interviews, you picked it up.

1:17:051:17:09

Nursing is the best job in the

world. After 35 years, I think it is

1:17:091:17:14

the best job in the world. We have

to put in a lot of work to make sure

1:17:141:17:22

they stay. There are many factors.

It is a complex issue. We need to

1:17:221:17:29

keep them in the job now. Listen to

what we have to say. Make sure we

1:17:291:17:34

get them in. We need programmes to

get them in.

You are correct.

1:17:341:17:41

Talking to anyone treated in the

NHS, nurses come up so highly. They

1:17:411:17:46

are well respected and wonderful

staff. These are some of the issues.

1:17:461:17:50

One of them we talked about was the

guilt from nurses about not having

1:17:501:17:54

enough time to look after patients

and do their job. Is that something

1:17:541:18:00

you hear people talk about?

Yeah. I

think... Now more than ever you see

1:18:001:18:07

on all of the media the NHS is under

massive stress. We are in the midst

1:18:071:18:14

of winter and have the flu and

people are working incredibly hard.

1:18:141:18:18

We have to look after staff as they

work so hard and ask them what we

1:18:181:18:24

can do to help them, involve them in

decision-making, make it more

1:18:241:18:28

flexible in how we look at it.

Actually, working nights and days,

1:18:281:18:35

we have to say what can we do to be

more flexible and keep you in? I

1:18:351:18:41

have these student nurses coming in.

I tell them what an amazing job it

1:18:411:18:46

is. We have to talk to them and see

what they have to do. Then they will

1:18:461:18:53

come and work for us after training.

We need to do that to get them in.

1:18:531:18:58

But when they are down and are

having difficult shifts, talk to

1:18:581:19:01

them after those. What was it? What

could we do to make it better? How

1:19:011:19:07

can we support you? We know, because

all of the research tells us, happy

1:19:071:19:12

staff means happy patients. We have

to work with them and work well, and

1:19:121:19:21

listen to them, that is how we will

make it better.

Have you got the

1:19:211:19:25

resources to bring in that support?

OK, so, I think it would be kind of

1:19:251:19:31

easy to blame on resources and money

and, don't get me wrong, there is an

1:19:311:19:36

element of that. We know the issues

of finance. But what we have to do

1:19:361:19:40

as nurse leaders is look at what we

can do. Get active recruitment in.

1:19:401:19:45

At the moment, we are struggling.

Nurses have lost their bursary. It

1:19:451:19:52

is hard to get the man when you have

to pay £9,000 and have the privilege

1:19:521:19:57

of working nights and

1:19:571:19:58

shifts. -- them in. I have lost

mature nurses because they cannot

1:19:581:20:06

afford it. The ones that tend to

stay, they are mature nurses. We

1:20:061:20:18

have to find ways to get them in and

different ways of working and when

1:20:181:20:22

they are in, work through them.

You

are clearly incredibly passionate

1:20:221:20:25

about your job, and a breath of

fresh air. Thank you indeed for

1:20:251:20:29

talking to us.

Thank you. Thank you

for giving us the opportunity.

Thank

1:20:291:20:34

you very much.

Is it wrong but I

love her.

I don't think you are

1:20:341:20:46

alone in that.

She is wonderful. We

get repeated messages from everyone

1:20:461:20:52

about how much was that we have for

doctors and nurses. We moan about

1:20:521:20:57

the NHS because we are passionate

about it and we care about it and it

1:20:571:21:01

means so much to so many people for

so many good reasons, and this, her,

1:21:011:21:06

that is one of those reasons.

And

another favourite of mine is

1:21:061:21:11

that is one of those reasons.

And

another favourite of mine is Carol.

1:21:111:21:12

Good morning.

There is a lot going

on with the weather. Look at the

1:21:121:21:19

snow depths.

1:21:191:21:23

Almost 15 inches as the maximum.

1:21:231:21:33

Overnight, we have seen snow and

strong winds.

1:21:331:21:41

strong winds. Blizzards on higher

routes, and snow. The risk of ice.

1:21:411:21:46

Take care. Listen to the radio

station and me. A weather warning

1:21:461:21:52

for Northern Ireland in Scotland for

snow and ice. 8pm, snow will still

1:21:521:22:00

fall in Northern Ireland, Scotland,

and northern England, but less

1:22:001:22:02

intense. Strong winds overnight low

that around we'll ease a touch.

1:22:021:22:09

Showers further south. Fairly rare.

However, if you catch one, it could

1:22:091:22:15

be heavy and at lower levels mostly

of rain through the day. Some sleet

1:22:151:22:22

and hail. Today and in the next

couple of days, strong winds coupled

1:22:221:22:26

with spring tides in the

south-western and western areas.

1:22:261:22:29

Large waves crashing on shore. In

the south, showers. Sunshine.

1:22:291:22:36

Despite that, cold. The north, snow

in Scotland, part of northern

1:22:361:22:41

England, and Northern Ireland as

well. It will feel cold here as

1:22:411:22:45

well. Not out of the woods yet. A

temporary lull, but the next area is

1:22:451:22:55

coming our way. What it will do is

introduce heavy rain, gales, and

1:22:551:23:00

also snow. If we stop this chart at

8pm this evening, you will see rain.

1:23:001:23:05

Snow in Northern Ireland mainly in

the hills, more likely in the north,

1:23:051:23:09

but hill snow in Wales. Beyond that

into tomorrow morning, look at this,

1:23:091:23:16

the snow turns heavier as it crosses

northern England into southern

1:23:161:23:20

Scotland. Possibly far north as the

Central Lowlands. The rain rattles

1:23:201:23:26

across England and Wales.

1:23:261:23:34

across England and Wales. Inland, 50

miles per hour. Liverpool could have

1:23:341:23:36

70. The risk of ice tomorrow

morning. Early on, if you are

1:23:361:23:44

travelling in the east, you could

still see snow in the north-east of

1:23:441:23:48

England and towards Lincolnshire.

Indeed, on the coast, sleek. Inland,

1:23:481:23:53

you do not have to go too far inland

to see the snow. Further disruption

1:23:531:23:59

caused by those elements tomorrow

first thing. Keep in touch. What I

1:23:591:24:04

can tell you is it moves across

quite quickly. Sunshine. Still many

1:24:041:24:11

showers coming in from the west, and

it will still feel cold. But then,

1:24:111:24:15

it is winter.

1:24:151:24:17

it will still feel cold. But then,

it is winter.

Good point. Thank you.

1:24:171:24:20

A good warning about that weather

all week.

1:24:201:24:29

David and Louise Turpin projected

an image of a picture-perfect family

1:24:291:24:32

on social media, posting photos

of themselves with their 13

1:24:321:24:35

children, smiling as they celebrated

birthdays, renewed wedding vows

1:24:351:24:37

and visited Disneyland together.

1:24:371:24:39

But behind the smiles lay

a very different story.

1:24:391:24:41

The couple has been accused

of torture and child endangerment

1:24:411:24:44

after their children were found

shackled and malnourished

1:24:441:24:46

in their Californian home.

1:24:461:24:50

Thank you for coming in on the

programme this morning. Can I ask

1:24:501:24:54

you first of all, and, obviously,

this is your line of work but what

1:24:541:24:59

did you think when you heard about

the details of this extraordinary

1:24:591:25:02

story?

I thought it was horrendous

and tragic. It is a bit puzzling it

1:25:021:25:07

could have gone on for such a long

time without being identified. The

1:25:071:25:10

key point is they have been

identified and they will receive

1:25:101:25:15

rehabilitation and parents will be

charged.

There is a huge age range.

1:25:151:25:20

The 2-year-old is the youngest, 29

is the oldest. From your experience,

1:25:201:25:25

how are those different ages? How

will they process what is going on?

1:25:251:25:32

The two has the best prognosis. They

likely have little language

1:25:321:25:37

development at the age of two, so it

will be difficult to remember it. It

1:25:371:25:43

is like they will not have memory of

it. If they have good care in their

1:25:431:25:50

life, they will have a good

prognosis. We do not know how long

1:25:501:25:53

the abuse has been going on for, if

it got worse over the years. The 17

1:25:531:26:02

to 2090 roles, they will have

difficulty. -- 29-year-olds. The

1:26:021:26:13

17-year-old cried out for help,

meaning she knew something was

1:26:131:26:17

wrong.

I was looking at the details.

Those who are older feel protective

1:26:171:26:25

of each other. How could that

manifests?

It is normal. They were

1:26:251:26:30

not just be protective, but their

parents, primary caregivers, despite

1:26:301:26:38

how bad the treatment was, they will

have had experience as prime

1:26:381:26:44

caregivers. They will be treated for

malnourishment and psychological

1:26:441:26:49

effects, but they will also be

experiencing loss of primary

1:26:491:26:52

caregivers and confusion. They have

a difficult road ahead. Of course,

1:26:521:26:58

they may have supported each other

through the process. Services will

1:26:581:27:02

consider whether to keep them

together and whether, you know, how

1:27:021:27:06

best they will be helped.

This must

have shocked many people all across

1:27:061:27:13

the world. Is this incredibly rare?

It does not seem to be,

1:27:131:27:21

unfortunately. We have cases like

this all around the world. Wind that

1:27:211:27:25

springs to mind is to so far it's

all.

1:27:251:27:38

all. -- One that springs to mind it

Joseph Fritzel. We hear of these

1:27:381:27:42

cases, so it is not unprecedented.

The abuse that took place in Austria

1:27:421:27:45

at the

1:27:451:27:55

at the hands of Joseph went on 21

years, very lengthy. The eldest in

1:28:011:28:04

this case is 29 and that could be

how long she was abused for.

How do

1:28:041:28:09

you keep so many children with such

a huge age range together?

What an

1:28:091:28:12

extraordinary story.

1:28:121:28:13

Still to come on Breakfast.

1:28:131:28:14

2018 marks 100 years of the Royal

Air Force. To celebrate, the RAF is

1:28:141:28:18

reforming its most famous squadron.

Sophie Raworth can tell us more.

1:28:181:28:21

Good morning.

Good morning. Look at

this. I am in the

1:28:211:28:29

this. I am in the cockpit of the

RAF's state-of-the-art F38

1:28:331:28:35

Lightning. This is just a prototype.

They will form the

1:28:351:28:45

They will form the famous RAF

squadron that carried out the dam

1:28:481:28:50

busting raid. I have been to meet

the last surviving member of the

1:28:501:28:53

group. We will also look at what

this can do. I will just

1:28:531:29:02

Hello this is Breakfast,

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:32:341:32:42

Snow and ice are causing serious

problems on roads across Scotland,

1:32:461:32:49

Northern Ireland and northern

England with drivers stranded

1:32:491:32:51

on long queues on the 74 motorway.

1:32:511:32:53

Rescue teams are helping motorists

1:32:531:32:57

and motorists are being

advised not to drive.

1:32:571:33:03

Schools are closed in Northern

Ireland. We also know that there are

1:33:031:33:06

people stuck on the em 74. Still,

people stuck there. Snow on the

1:33:061:33:13

north. Mountain rescue are checking

on people. We will keep you

1:33:131:33:16

up-to-date. Carol is keeping us

up-to-date.

1:33:161:33:22

We spoke to someone earlier on today

who got home just before 6:15 a.m..

1:33:221:33:29

And it left the night before.

1:33:291:33:32

More nurses left the health service

in England last year than joined -

1:33:321:33:35

the first time in 5 years

that there's been a net

1:33:351:33:38

reduction in staff.

1:33:381:33:46

More nurses left the health service

in England last year than joined -

1:33:471:33:51

the first time in 5 years

that there's been a net

1:33:511:33:54

reduction in staff.

1:33:541:33:55

BBC analysis of NHS data found that

just over 33,000 nurses left

1:33:551:33:58

the service - 3,000

more than signed up.

1:33:581:34:00

The Royal College of Nursing says

experienced staff are leaving

1:34:001:34:03

because they're demoralised.

1:34:031:34:04

NHS England's Chief Nursing Officer

says despite pressures,

1:34:041:34:06

front line staff are still

providing good care.

1:34:061:34:08

There are other places that we know

people are staying despite those

1:34:081:34:11

pressures because they know the care

they give is fantastic,

1:34:111:34:14

they are working under enormous

pressure, absolutely.

1:34:141:34:16

The challenges over the past few

months in particular have been

1:34:161:34:19

significant, probably more than most

of them have ever seen

1:34:191:34:21

but they are still in,

they are still working,

1:34:211:34:24

they are still providing good care.

1:34:241:34:26

Police in California have praised

the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

1:34:261:34:29

who escaped from the home

where she and her 12 siblings

1:34:291:34:32

were allegedly being held

captive by their parents.

1:34:401:34:42

David and Louise Turpin -

whose children range in age from 2

1:34:421:34:45

to 29 - are due to appear

in court later this week,

1:34:451:34:48

charged with torture

and child endangerment.

1:34:481:34:50

Investigators say they had had no

previous contacts with the couple.

1:34:501:34:53

Donald Trump has been advised to eat

a lower fat diet and take more

1:34:531:34:57

exercise, after his first

medical check-up in office.

1:34:571:34:59

However the White House doctor

says the President -

1:34:591:35:01

who's 71 - is generally in excellent

health and that he performed well

1:35:011:35:05

in cognitive tests.

1:35:051:35:06

The Bayeux Tapestry is to return

to Britain for the first time

1:35:061:35:09

since it was made

in the 11th century.

1:35:091:35:11

The 70m-long embroidery,

which tells the story of the Battle

1:35:111:35:14

of Hastings, has been kept in France

for the last 950 years but will go

1:35:141:35:18

on display in Britain

after months of talks.

1:35:181:35:20

The BBC understands that

French President Emmanuel Macron

1:35:201:35:22

will confirm the loan when he meets

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:221:35:25

will confirm the loan when he meets

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:251:35:32

I

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:321:35:33

I will

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:331:35:33

I will have

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:331:35:33

I will have some

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:331:35:33

I will have some more

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:331:35:34

I will have some more Bayeux

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:341:35:34

I will have some more Bayeux facts

Theresa May tomorrow.

1:35:341:35:34

I will have some more Bayeux facts

do you later.

1:35:341:35:35

You are keeping me on tenterhooks.

We know people have been stuck

1:35:351:35:41

overnight. Let's speak to Jordan

Gray who has been there all night

1:35:411:35:45

and is still there. Just tell us

where you are. How long have you

1:35:451:35:49

been there?

We have been here for

six hours. We are eventually moving

1:35:491:35:56

now.

Just tell us, what the

conditions have been like overnight

1:35:561:36:02

for you. She's been -- it's been on

and off all night. You have been in

1:36:021:36:13

your car.

Did you have any

suppliers?

No. How have you been?

1:36:131:36:18

How did you keep warm? My mum has

been putting the car on and off to

1:36:181:36:24

keep heating the car.

Just wearing

jackets. You had no food, nothing to

1:36:241:36:30

drink?

We had a bottle of sprites

that was in the boot.

Just one

1:36:301:36:37

bottle between you all night.

When

you first got stuck, how long did

1:36:371:36:41

you wake and did you see mountain

rescue during the night? We saw

1:36:411:36:47

mountain rescue once. It was about

four o'clock in the morning. We were

1:36:471:36:53

stuck around about three hours. As

you ugly, whether other cars around

1:36:531:37:00

you? Nobody really got out apart

from seeing how bad the queue was.

1:37:001:37:10

You are moving now, so how long

should this journey have taken you?

1:37:101:37:16

20 minutes. And you are up to six

hours. Seven hours, it's been. Were

1:37:161:37:24

you worried overnight?

Not really.

1:37:241:37:32

you worried overnight?

Not really. I

was just kind of hoping to go home.

1:37:321:37:35

I was supposed to be at work.

Oh,

goodness me. I am sure they will

1:37:351:37:44

realise why you are late. Talking to

BBC Breakfast.

1:37:441:37:53

BBC Breakfast. Traffic Scotland has

the gritters on the website and they

1:37:531:38:00

are names. The Golden gate gritter.

Luke Snow Walker. This is no

1:38:001:38:08

solution. Ayce buster. And my

favourite, gritty gritty bang bang.

1:38:081:38:18

Gritty mcvitty is going to be there.

The weather has really been

1:38:181:38:23

something out there. Carol has all

the details. Jordan Gray, the family

1:38:231:38:30

shared one bottle of spite between

them. A 20- minute journey has taken

1:38:301:38:35

her seven hours. Judy Murray has

tweeted to say that the gritter

1:38:351:38:45

serving the Dunblane area is called

Sir Andy Flurry. It's good fun,

1:38:451:38:52

isn't it? And wasn't there in

itsy-bitsy teeny-weeny yellow salt

1:38:521:38:58

spreading machine he?

We also have a

good pub question.

1:38:581:39:06

A new one was born overnight.

1:39:061:39:08

Who scored the first goal to be

awarded by the video assistant

1:39:081:39:12

referee, in English football ?

1:39:121:39:13

Kelechi Iheanacho put Leicester 1

nil ahead against the League One

1:39:131:39:16

side at the King Power.

1:39:161:39:17

And then came his second,

1:39:171:39:25

at first ruled offside

by the linesman, referred to the VAR

1:39:281:39:31

and after careful consideration

he was judged to have been onside.

1:39:311:39:39

We were a lot better

obviously on the first leg,

1:39:401:39:46

we knew that we had to perform

a lot better and be a bit

1:39:461:39:50

more professional on the pitch.

1:39:501:39:51

We have done that tonight,

got the result and this man has got

1:39:511:39:55

the goals and it shows

that VAR does work.

1:39:551:39:59

There were no upsets in any of last

night's other four replays.

1:39:591:40:02

West Ham were taken to extra time

by League One Shrewsbury,

1:40:021:40:05

but the Premier League

side made it through.

1:40:051:40:07

Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday

and Reading are also

1:40:071:40:09

through to the fourth round.

1:40:091:40:11

Ronnie O'Sullivan rattled

through his first round match

1:40:111:40:13

at the Masters snooker allowing

Marco Fu to pot only 8 balls in a 6

1:40:131:40:17

frames

1:40:171:40:18

to nil thrashing.

1:40:181:40:23

O'Sullivan's won this tournament

a record seven times.

1:40:231:40:25

And he made three century breaks

in the first four frames in a match

1:40:251:40:29

that only lasted just over an hour

and a half at Alexandra

1:40:291:40:32

Palace.

1:40:321:40:32

Amazingly Ronnie reckoned

he's wasn't at his best.

1:40:321:40:34

I have a virus or something

and I just felt very dizzy

1:40:341:40:38

and I felt sort of...

1:40:381:40:39

Really?

1:40:391:40:39

You looked in good form.

1:40:391:40:41

I just played off instinct -

don't think, just pot balls -

1:40:411:40:44

but really struggling

over the last 5, 6 days.

1:40:441:40:46

Have you been struggling

with illness?

1:40:461:40:48

No, I've just been feeling dizzy.

1:40:481:40:50

You couldn't give it to me?

1:40:501:40:51

I could do with a few days...

1:40:511:40:53

Maybe a lack of magnesium

I was told, but I have been eating

1:40:531:40:57

well for the last few months.

1:40:571:41:02

Lack of magnesium, he needs to eat a

banana.

1:41:021:41:07

Britain's Kyle Edmund

has reached the third

1:41:071:41:08

round of the Australian Open

for the first time.

1:41:081:41:11

The British number two beat

Denis Istomin from Uzbekistan

1:41:111:41:13

in straight sets.

1:41:131:41:14

Edmund goes on to face world number

61 Nikoloz Basilashvili of Georgia

1:41:141:41:17

next.

1:41:171:41:18

Rafa Nadal is on court right now

against Leonardo Mayer.

1:41:181:41:22

Coverage of that and all the action,

including a hard fought victory

1:41:221:41:25

for number two seed

Caroline Wozniacki,

1:41:251:41:27

is on Five Live Sports Extra

and the BBC Sport website.

1:41:271:41:35

Where you can also see pictures

of a confused Roger Federer.

1:41:351:41:38

He's having a day off

today but yesterday,

1:41:381:41:40

after reaching the second round,

had to face some tough questions

1:41:401:41:43

from American actor Will Ferrell,

in the guise of character

1:41:431:41:46

Ron Burgundy from

the film Anchorman.

1:41:461:41:49

Tonight you seemed like a gazelle

out there on the court.

1:41:491:41:53

Would you describe your game

as a silky gazelle?

1:41:531:41:58

Maybe.

1:41:581:42:00

Maybe not.

1:42:001:42:05

Don't they get eaten at the end?

1:42:051:42:09

Not if they're fast enough.

1:42:091:42:16

Ron Burgundy proving that he is not

the sports specialist. We got our

1:42:161:42:25

people mixed up. Champ is the sports

guide. Brick is the weatherman.

1:42:251:42:36

Thousands of contractors with the

group Carillion are waiting to hear

1:42:361:42:42

on their futures.

As we said right when we first

1:42:421:42:45

announced this news. In terms of the

business that they do.

1:42:451:42:57

business that they do. That is what

they are talking about this morning.

1:42:571:43:04

There are a lot of answered

questions of the thousands of people

1:43:041:43:09

who work for them as well. One of

those who lost his job on Monday is

1:43:091:43:14

Philip Ellis.

Walking to work,

thinking you are about to do a days

1:43:141:43:18

work, to be told you laid off. You

can't describe how you feel at that

1:43:181:43:24

point in time. Everybody was the

same, all scratching their heads.

1:43:241:43:30

What are you going to do next? The

only option I've got is to try

1:43:301:43:35

another job. What are my chances?

So

what are the prospects of a

1:43:351:43:44

construction workers like Philip who

found themselves without a job. Tom

1:43:441:43:48

Hadley is from the recruitment and

employment generation. Good morning

1:43:481:43:53

to you. What are the prospects to

someone like Philip?

Are quite good.

1:43:531:44:00

We track the situation and members

are saying it's getting harder and

1:44:001:44:07

harder to find staff. There is a big

demand for construction workers. One

1:44:071:44:11

of the top three shortage areas is

construction. We hopefully can work

1:44:111:44:17

with agencies for the strong demand.

When we spoke to Phillip, we found

1:44:171:44:23

out as soon as he lost his job, he

went straight on the phone,

1:44:231:44:27

specifically construction ones and

they were telling him you are one of

1:44:271:44:32

many from Carillion ringing us. What

about in the short-term? That is the

1:44:321:44:37

hard thing. Bills to pay, he will

need the money.

A further million

1:44:371:44:47

plus in temporary work every single

week. It might take time. Recruiters

1:44:471:44:52

will be getting a lot of calls at

the moment. It might be they can't

1:44:521:44:57

put you straight into a job but

register with them and they will be

1:44:571:45:03

able to give you advice. Where they

are going to need staff because a

1:45:031:45:06

lot of these things are going to

need to be built. Demand is strong

1:45:061:45:10

in construction as in other sectors.

The thing about Carillion, it is a

1:45:101:45:16

company which covers so many

different types of jobs.

Everything

1:45:161:45:21

from school cooks to cleaners in

hospitals. What about the people who

1:45:211:45:25

are working in different areas to

worried about job security. It is a

1:45:251:45:31

very fragmented supply chain.

In the

same way, as we have specialist

1:45:311:45:37

recruitment agencies, we have them

in other sectors as well. It could

1:45:371:45:41

be IT and engineering and admin

staff. The advice would be to start

1:45:411:45:46

putting some feelers out. Speak to

your local job centre all

1:45:461:45:50

recruitment agencies and we work

with agencies which is a good

1:45:501:45:53

message, look at what the market is

doing but we are also seeing demand

1:45:531:45:59

for staff in many different sectors

to this is a difficult time for

1:45:591:46:02

individuals but our message is one

of hope, do speak to local

1:46:021:46:05

recruiters. We have a vital

recruitment.

1:46:051:46:15

Some of these people could have

worked for them for a long time and

1:46:151:46:20

may not have refreshed their CV.

A

good point. Get advice. Skills of

We will talk about

1:46:531:46:57

this more. If you have lost your

job, if you have been affected, get

1:46:571:47:00

in touch.

Thank you.

They have been

business story of the week. The

1:47:001:47:07

Windsor has

1:47:071:47:12

Windsor has been the weather story

of the week. What a picture! --

1:47:121:47:18

winter.

Look at the depth of that

snow. It was sent to us from the

1:47:181:47:23

highland. Thank you.

1:47:231:47:29

highland. Thank you. The snow depths

we have been seeing are on your

1:47:341:47:37

screen. 15 inches!

1:47:371:47:39

we have been seeing are on your

screen. 15 inches!

Some of that will

1:47:391:47:45

have been

1:47:451:47:55

have been blowing, it drifts, in

overnight. Things improving. Ice,

1:48:011:48:03

further disruption still possible.

You can tell it is an improving

1:48:031:48:06

situation. Further south, the risk

of ice. Dry weather. Sunshine. Rain

1:48:061:48:10

possible. You could see sleek and

hail. -- sleet. Snow showers in

1:48:101:48:19

Scotland this afternoon. The

intensity will not be that severe.

1:48:191:48:23

Not as widespread. Northern Ireland,

snow showers fading. Dry conditions.

1:48:231:48:29

More coming your way. Northern

England, again, less intense

1:48:291:48:35

widespread snow showers this

afternoon. Treacherous conditions

1:48:351:48:38

left over from this morning. South

of that, the Midlands, Wales, East

1:48:381:48:44

Anglia, southern counties generally,

lots of sunshine to be feeling cold.

1:48:441:48:48

Showers. Large waves in the west.

What we do have coming our way is a

1:48:481:48:57

new area of low pressure. Developing

in the Atlantic get the moment. I

1:48:571:49:02

stopped this pressure chart at 8pm

in the evening to show you what you

1:49:021:49:08

can expect. Snow on the hills of

Northern Ireland and mostly in the

1:49:081:49:12

north of Northern Ireland. The same

in Wales. Hill snow. Look at the

1:49:121:49:17

isobars. Squeezed together,

strengthening wind. Moving that

1:49:171:49:21

chart forward through the rest of

the night, the snow gets heavier and

1:49:211:49:28

gets into southern Scotland,

possibly as far north as the Central

1:49:281:49:31

Lowlands. Rattling quickly, and so

will the rain in Wales and the rest

1:49:311:49:36

of England, driven by gales. Inland,

wind, 40- 50 miles per hour. Around

1:49:361:49:43

the coast, 70. The first thing

tomorrow morning, snow and strong

1:49:431:49:48

winds in the east. Clearing after

that. If you are travelling this

1:49:481:49:54

evening and tomorrow, tonight, I

should say, severe gales, snow, and

1:49:541:49:58

the risk of ice. There could be

disruption. That will clear rapidly.

1:49:581:50:03

Tomorrow, sunshine and showers.

Still wintry in the west, though.

1:50:031:50:07

Thank you very

1:50:071:50:08

Still wintry in the west, though.

Thank you very much indeed. Look at

1:50:081:50:10

this.

1:50:101:50:15

It's the most famous flying team in

British history.

1:50:151:50:18

Now, almost 75 years after carrying

out the daring Dambusters raid,

1:50:181:50:21

the RAF's 617 squadron

is being reformed.

1:50:211:50:23

It's to mark 100 years

of the Royal British Airforce.

1:50:231:50:25

Let's speak to Sophie Raworth,

who's getting a sneak peak

1:50:251:50:28

of the new jets the

team will be flying.

1:50:281:50:31

And, Sophie, you have a personal

connection with the airforce,

1:50:311:50:33

haven't you?

1:50:331:50:34

It is lovely to see you on

Breakfast. You have a personal

1:50:341:50:37

connection to this.

Yes. This is a

daylight bomber. It was taken in

1:50:371:50:49

1918 in northern France. A plane

made of wood. This man in the middle

1:50:491:50:53

is my grandfather. He was just 18

years old. The sort of planes they

1:50:531:50:58

were flying those days are a far cry

from what we have here right now, a

1:50:581:51:03

simulator for the

1:51:031:51:13

simulator for the brand-new RAF

state-of-the-art F35 Lightning,

1:51:131:51:15

arriving in the UK later this year.

When it does, it will form the 617

1:51:151:51:19

Squadron. I have gone to meet one of

the most famous members of the 617

1:51:191:51:23

Squadron, Johnnie Johnson, the last

surviving member.

1:51:231:51:29

He is 96 years old at the last

surviving member of World War Two's

1:51:291:51:35

famous dambusters raid. He joined

the RAF in 1940, one of many

1:51:351:51:43

teenagers signing up to fight for

their country, saying it was

1:51:431:51:46

thrilling.

I would do the same again

if it throws up. I find that the

1:51:461:51:54

satisfaction, personal satisfaction,

of being able to do that, it was

1:51:541:51:59

more than anything else, that sort

of thing I felt I was doing

1:51:591:52:04

something useful, and doing it well.

It was 75 years ago this may that

1:52:041:52:12

the 617 Squadron took off in their

Lancaster bombers in the mission

1:52:121:52:17

immortalised in the film to attack

Germany's industrial heartland. The

1:52:171:52:26

planes he flew are a world away from

the aircraft used by the RAF

1:52:261:52:31

nowadays, and he is fascinated, just

buy the technology on board, but

1:52:311:52:36

also the pilots learning to fly. --

not just by the.

I would not know

1:52:361:52:43

where to begin. It is not a

Lancaster.

I have always... Flying

1:52:431:52:50

with him is one of the newest

pilots, in order of

1:52:501:53:00

pilots, in order of -- in awe of his

stories.

Determination and

1:53:001:53:05

confidence to know they were doing

what was right for the country. I

1:53:051:53:09

have been lucky enough to choose

this role for myself, they were

1:53:091:53:13

thrust into it, and did it as they

could. It is more my ability to

1:53:131:53:18

measure up to them.

He was one of

133 men who took part in the

1:53:181:53:23

dambusters raid. 53 of them never

came home. He still remembers that

1:53:231:53:27

night vividly.

I will never forget

it. The highlight of that trip for

1:53:271:53:33

me as we came home, we knew by radio

broadcast the dam was breached.

1:53:331:53:44

There was water everywhere. Was

1:53:441:53:52

There was water everywhere. Was just

like an endless sea. Evidence of

1:53:551:53:57

success. It is gone! We have done

it! It is the most famous in the

1:53:571:54:02

history of the Air Force. As they

celebrate theirs and tannery, his

1:54:021:54:07

advice to the next generation...

Whatever you do, do it to the best

1:54:071:54:12

of your ability. -- centenary.

If I

had my time again, I would do the

1:54:121:54:18

same again. I would get the same

happiness and enjoyment out of it as

1:54:181:54:24

I did back then. Thank you to the

Royal Air Force for providing a

1:54:241:54:31

wonderful life for me. It really

was.

He was amazed by the technology

1:54:311:54:38

in that aircraft. He would be

astounded by this. Because

1:54:381:54:51

astounded by this. Because this is

the F35 Lightning, the brand new

1:54:541:54:56

state-of-the-art aircraft arriving

in the UK later this year. This is

1:54:561:54:59

unlike anything they have had

before.

Definitely. I was the Chief

1:54:591:55:02

Executive of Lockheed Martin before

that, I was in the Air Force. What

1:55:021:55:08

we have seen is an incredible

transformation in terms of

1:55:081:55:12

technology. Most of the aircraft I

operated were designed for a

1:55:121:55:17

specific role. This aircraft can do

virtually everything, which is

1:55:171:55:21

remarkable.

It is also incredibly

expensive, around £90 million per

1:55:211:55:27

plane. There has been a lot of

controversy around it.

The value you

1:55:271:55:31

get is this aircraft is designed for

40- 50 years. It has twice the life

1:55:311:55:38

of the aircraft were used to fly.

This one has been designed for 7500

1:55:381:55:45

miles. It will be the backbone of

the Royal Navy and air force for

1:55:451:55:52

decades to come. The other benefit

is the industrial benefit. The UK is

1:55:521:55:57

supporting this programme in a way

which is absolutely incredible. We

1:55:571:56:01

have more than 500 companies in the

UK providing about 50%

1:56:011:56:10

UK providing about 50% of every F35,

there will be at least 3,000 of

1:56:101:56:12

them. To date, we spent $12.9

billion with the UK's supply chain

1:56:121:56:19

copy that is a phenomenal investment

into the UK.

3000 F35s. They are in

1:56:191:56:27

America.

No, sorry, it is 138.

There

has been a lot of criticism that the

1:56:271:56:36

project is over budget. It is not

only... It is not costing more than

1:56:361:56:40

it should, but there have been

technical glitches. MPs on the

1:56:401:56:44

Defence Select Committee said there

should be more transparency.

I gave

1:56:441:56:48

evidence to the committee and gave

all of the technical answers. They

1:56:481:56:53

were satisfied. Looking back of

course, it is a development

1:56:531:56:58

programme and you will have

challenges on any programme. We have

1:56:581:57:03

done to the parliament in production

at the same time, resulting in a

1:57:031:57:07

significant reduction in cost.

1:57:071:57:14

significant reduction in cost. We

reduced the cost by 40%.

I will go

1:57:141:57:18

to the here. We have a squadron

leader based in America at the

1:57:181:57:21

moment who is learning to fly and is

testing them all out. What is it

1:57:211:57:25

like?

It is effortless to fly. That

is really the modus operandi of the

1:57:251:57:33

F35. By design, it is highly

automated. We wanted to make it so

1:57:331:57:37

easy to fly the pilot does not have

to concentrate on that. He needs to

1:57:371:57:43

concentrate on operating this

fantastic, phenomenal, the

1:57:431:57:46

generation game

1:57:461:57:53

generation game changing sensor.

That is what makes us elite.

I will

1:57:531:57:56

leave you to it. Thank you for

joining us. And he is off.

1:57:561:58:05

joining us. And he is off.

That made

me quite nervous watching that, even

1:58:111:58:14

though it is a simulator.

Thank you.

It is lovely to see you on Breakfast

1:58:141:58:19

as well.

We will be back with her

later on through the morning.

blizzard conditions left motorists

stuck for more than eight hours on

2:01:582:02:06

the M74 in Scotland. Conditions will

ease through the morning, but there

2:02:062:02:15

is more on the way.

2:02:152:02:26

Breakfast on the BBC on Wednesday

the 17th of January. More nurses are

2:02:302:02:36

quitting the NHS in England and join

2:03:172:03:22

Good morning.

2:03:222:03:23

First, our main story.

2:03:232:03:24

Snow and ice are causing

serious problems on roads

2:03:242:03:26

across Scotland, Northern Ireland

and Northern England,

2:03:262:03:31

with drivers stranded in long queues

on the M74 motorway overnight.

2:03:312:03:33

Mountain rescue teams were drafted

in to help trapped motorists,

2:03:332:03:37

and people in Dumfries and Galloway

are being advised not to drive.

2:03:372:03:40

Snow has also caused problems

in Northern Ireland,

2:03:402:03:43

forcing schools to close

and disrupting public transport.

2:03:432:03:46

Ian Palmer reports.

2:03:462:03:49

Rescuing the drivers trapped

in their cars overnight

2:03:492:03:51

on the main motorway

between England and Scotland.

2:03:512:03:53

Heavy snow meant treacherous

conditions for the emergency

2:03:532:03:55

services on the M74.

2:03:552:04:03

The icy weather kept some

motorists in freezing cars

2:04:032:04:05

for more than eight hours.

2:04:052:04:07

Very little has been

happening, I'm afraid.

2:04:072:04:08

We've barely moved.

2:04:082:04:09

I'm not far away from

Motherwell, still.

2:04:092:04:11

I think in total,

very little movement.

2:04:112:04:15

The M74 runs from

Gretna Green to Glasgow.

2:04:152:04:17

The worst problems were between

junctions 12 and 15,

2:04:172:04:19

and the wild weather

isn't going away.

2:04:192:04:25

The Met office has issued

a number of Amber warnings

2:04:252:04:28

for Central Tayside and Fife,

Dumfries, Galloway,

2:04:282:04:31

Lothian and Borders,

Strathclyde and Northern Ireland.

2:04:312:04:36

On the Isle of Skye,

the main road was closed for several

2:04:362:04:39

hours in both directions

by a jackknifed lorry.

2:04:392:04:43

Two buses carrying pupils

were forced to return

2:04:432:04:45

to school for the night.

2:04:452:04:48

We've had people who have been stuck

for a good six or eight

2:04:482:04:51

hours in their vehicles.

2:04:512:04:52

So quite a long time.

2:04:522:04:57

We have assisted one or two vehicles

who had completely run out of fuel

2:04:572:05:00

and we have managed to get fuel

back to them.

2:05:002:05:06

Mostly it has been checking

the welfare of people in their cars.

2:05:062:05:09

Dozens of schools were closed

yesterday across Scotland,

2:05:092:05:10

affecting thousands of children.

2:05:102:05:12

But it wasn't all doom and gloom.

2:05:122:05:16

In Selkirk, the scene was worthy

of a seasonal postcard with people

2:05:162:05:19

living on higher ground witnessing

the heaviest snowfall.

2:05:192:05:24

In Dumfries, snow ploughs

worked around the clock

2:05:242:05:27

to keep motorists moving.

2:05:272:05:29

This was the picture in Glasgow.

2:05:292:05:31

And in Edinburgh, only

the most determined

2:05:312:05:33

ventured out in their cars.

2:05:332:05:36

Gritters have been out

through the night to try to avoid

2:05:362:05:38

a repeat of the problems for drivers

on the M74, but Police Scotland

2:05:382:05:43

say if you can avoid

travelling this morning,

2:05:432:05:46

you should do so.

2:05:462:05:49

Ian Palmer, BBC News.

2:05:492:05:55

We have been speaking to people

stuck on the M74 overnight. Bad

2:05:552:06:01

weather also causing some schools to

close across the North of England,

2:06:012:06:05

Northern Ireland and parts of

Scotland. If there is snow in your

2:06:052:06:09

area then you should check with your

local authority about school

2:06:092:06:13

closures as well. Always worth

tuning in to local BBC radio

2:06:132:06:18

stations, or checking out the BBC

website. Carroll will have some

2:06:182:06:22

detail on what might be happening

over the course of the day.

2:06:222:06:28

The Met office has set out in amber

weather warning for northern

2:06:282:06:35

Scotland

2:06:352:06:35

weather warning for northern

Scotland and Northern Ireland, but

2:06:352:06:37

that has just expired. Snow showers

will continue, however, the

2:06:372:06:44

intensity will start to ease. The

wind will also start to ease as

2:06:442:06:48

well. But there is still the risk of

ice. These are the kind of totals we

2:06:482:06:52

have seen, 38 centimetres, close to

15 inches, in the Southern uplands.

2:06:522:07:03

Later in the day, through this

evening and overnight, a period of

2:07:032:07:07

low pressure is coming our way that

will bring in heavy rain, gales and

2:07:072:07:12

heavy snow. We are not out of the

woods just yet. I will tell you all

2:07:122:07:16

the details of that system in the

next weather report at 8:15am.

2:07:162:07:27

Are you waking up

to snow this morning?

2:07:282:07:30

Have you been stuck

in traffic overnight?

2:07:302:07:32

You can send us your photos

and videos to our new WhatsApp

2:07:322:07:35

number: 07 990 99 88 66.

2:07:352:07:43

You can get in touch on social media

and the normal e-mail address as

2:07:432:07:46

well.

2:07:462:07:50

More details have emerged

of the final days of construction

2:07:572:07:59

giant Carillion in a document put

together by the company's chief

2:07:592:08:02

executive as he prepared to declare

the firm insolvent.

2:08:022:08:04

Steph has been looking

into this and joins us now.

2:08:042:08:06

So, what more have we learnt about

how much trouble Carillion was in?

2:08:062:08:09

Some very big numbers. We now know

how much money they had left when

2:08:092:08:13

they announced they would go into

liquidation. That figure is £29

2:08:132:08:16

million. It might sound like a lot

to us, but when you are a huge

2:08:162:08:22

business dealing with contracts

worth billions, and the fact they

2:08:222:08:26

owed more than £1.5 billion, its

small fry, not enough to run the

2:08:262:08:32

business. It's a huge operation,

20,000 people employed by them. That

2:08:322:08:36

meant they had to go into

liquidation. We also know that in

2:08:362:08:40

the run-up to all of this, they

started talking to the government in

2:08:402:08:44

October looking for a rescue plan,

but that came to a head on December

2:08:442:08:51

31 when they formally requested a

rescue plan. That meant they wanted

2:08:512:08:55

four months extra, and a guarantee

from the government that if they

2:08:552:09:01

couldn't afford to pay their money

to the banks who they owed money to,

2:09:012:09:05

they would get a guarantee from the

government that they would step in

2:09:052:09:07

to help. They also wanted to defer

some tax payments. The government

2:09:072:09:12

said no and that's why they went

into liquidation. All this

2:09:122:09:16

information coming out now, and

there will be analysis on whether it

2:09:162:09:20

was bad management that led up to

it, or whatever the reasons were.

2:09:202:09:25

There will be a fast-track

investigation and I imagine we will

2:09:252:09:28

be talking about this story for

quite some time, given how much it

2:09:282:09:32

feeds into so many walks of life,

and 30,000 smaller companies who are

2:09:322:09:37

owed money by Carillion. It's a big

and far-reaching story.

2:09:372:09:42

Police in California have praised

the bravery of the 17-year-old girl

2:09:422:09:45

who escaped from the home

where she and her 12 siblings

2:09:452:09:48

were allegedly being held captive

by their parents.

2:09:482:09:50

David and Louise Turpin -

whose children range

2:09:502:09:53

in age from 2 to 29 -

are due to appear in court

2:09:532:09:57

later this week, charged

with torture and child endangerment.

2:09:572:10:01

Investigators say they had had no

previous contacts with the couple.

2:10:012:10:05

Donald Trump has been given a clean

bill of health by his doctor,

2:10:052:10:08

following his first

medical as commander-in-chief.

2:10:082:10:11

Dr Ronny Jackson said the President

was in good shape for his age,

2:10:112:10:15

but could benefit from a lower-fat

diet and more exercise.

2:10:152:10:19

He also said he had "no concerns"

about Mr Trump's cognitive ability.

2:10:192:10:22

The examination also

flagged up the medication

2:10:222:10:26

that the President takes,

including a drug to combat hair

2:10:262:10:33

and a daily aspirin.

2:10:332:10:38

As part of his medical

the President took part

2:10:382:10:40

in a cognitive awareness test.

2:10:402:10:43

You get marked out of 30 on this

piece of paper. One of the jobs is

2:10:432:10:48

to identify correctly a lion,

rhinoceros and camel.

Various other

2:10:482:10:52

tests. He did get 30 out of 30. Some

other people have got in contact

2:10:522:11:01

today saying they have taken their

family members to take this test

2:11:012:11:06

because it's the Montreal cognitive

assessment, also used to determine

2:11:062:11:10

early-onset Alzheimer's.

2:11:102:11:13

The Bayeux Tapestry is to return

to Britain for the first

2:11:132:11:16

time since it was made

in the 11th century.

2:11:162:11:18

The 70-metre-long embroidery,

which tells the story

2:11:182:11:20

of the Battle of Hastings,

has been kept in France for the last

2:11:202:11:23

950 years but will go on display

in Britain after months of talks.

2:11:232:11:26

The BBC understands that

French President Emmanuel Macron

2:11:262:11:28

will confirm the loan when he meets

Theresa May tomorrow.

2:11:282:11:33

I've been waiting more than an hour

for you to give me some tapestry

2:11:342:11:37

facts.

2:11:372:11:43

facts.

It's not a tapestry, it's an

embroidery. Tapestries woven on a

2:11:432:11:46

loom, where as embroidery has ground

fabric. It was not made by nuns. The

2:11:462:11:52

widely accepted theory is it was

created by teams of nuns across

2:11:522:11:55

England, but a study done in 2012

showed, the University of Manchester

2:11:552:12:03

showed the needlework was consistent

throughout, done by the same group

2:12:032:12:07

of people, not a wider group of

nuns.

We will be speaking to an

2:12:072:12:12

expert from 8:40am. There is also an

exact copy of it in Reading Museum.

2:12:122:12:19

Last year a 2-year-old girl bacame

the youngest person to give evidence

2:12:192:12:22

in a UK criminal case,

something only made possible

2:12:222:12:24

by a team of experts

known as "intermediaries".

2:12:242:12:27

Usually speech therapists,

psychologists, teachers or other

2:12:272:12:30

skilled professionals,

intermediaries make sure the most

2:12:302:12:32

vulnerable have a voice in court.

2:12:322:12:34

But according to a report

from the victims' commisioner,

2:12:342:12:36

they are overstretched

and underfunded.

2:12:362:12:39

We're joined now by Nicola Lewis,

who is a registered intermediary,

2:12:392:12:42

and by Baroness Newlove,

who wrote the report.

2:12:422:12:46

Thank you for joining us. Nicola, if

I can ask you, it seems

2:12:462:12:56

extraordinary in some ways, but a

two-year-old child was able to give

2:12:562:12:59

evidence. You do this work, so how

do you even have a conversation

2:12:592:13:06

about something like that with a

very young child?

The job we do,

2:13:062:13:11

first of all we assess the

vulnerable person to see how they

2:13:112:13:14

can communicate. With the

two-year-old, the range of words

2:13:142:13:18

will be very limited and sometimes

they need to show with a figure or

2:13:182:13:22

object instead of tell. We have

figures we use, and we allow them to

2:13:222:13:27

draw and use visuals. We do a lot of

rapport building. We will meet with

2:13:272:13:33

the child. With that two-year-old,

she initially would not come in the

2:13:332:13:37

room, and the police officer and the

intermediary were just playing. She

2:13:372:13:41

would peep round the door and then

she joined them. They talked to her

2:13:412:13:46

informally. The camera was rolling,

the evidence was recorded over a

2:13:462:13:51

period of time.

You have brought

something 's end. How would you use

2:13:512:13:56

something like this? That's when you

have brought some things in.

This

2:13:562:14:02

was a case where a young child was

trying to explain what happened to

2:14:022:14:09

her. She was not good with

prepositions, so it was easier for

2:14:092:14:12

her to show what happened instead of

using words.

It's incredibly

2:14:122:14:19

interesting work and very important.

How much difference can it make that

2:14:192:14:25

young victims particularly can have

access to this type of person to

2:14:252:14:29

help them?

It makes a huge

difference. They can't communicate

2:14:292:14:33

like we are now. If we can have

registered intermediaries able to

2:14:332:14:44

communicate with victims and police

officers, it's important to have

2:14:442:14:47

this role in this review shows how

important that role is for victims.

2:14:472:14:52

There have been cuts to the criminal

justice system and it's not possible

2:14:522:14:55

to pay for everything.

Funnily

enough, in the review, nobody

2:14:552:15:00

complained about resources. What I

would say, looking at the

2:15:002:15:06

recommendations, if there is funding

needing to be put into this, then

2:15:062:15:08

they have to do that. At the end of

the day, it's about equal justice.

2:15:082:15:14

Victims have a right under the

entitlement in the victims' codes to

2:15:142:15:19

have a registered intermediary. I'm

not getting down on funding, just

2:15:192:15:22

writes for victims.

Do you feel like

you and the services are stretched

2:15:222:15:27

at the moment?

2:15:272:15:33

It is really vital that they get to

speak because perpetrators target

2:15:482:15:51

these people

2:15:512:15:57

these people because they are

vulnerable. They can pull more

2:15:572:16:02

intermediaries in at the top but

until they plug the hole at the

2:16:022:16:05

bottom, the problem is likely to

continue.

Baroness, do you know of

2:16:052:16:10

cases which have collapsed because

of a lack of intermediaries?

The

2:16:102:16:15

review doesn't shine a light on that

but if you look at the waiting time,

2:16:152:16:20

there was an average of four weeks

waiting time for a child to give

2:16:202:16:24

their evidence. Sometimes I can't

remember yesterday, said that is

2:16:242:16:28

horrendous. There shouldn't be a

waiting time for these people to

2:16:282:16:32

communicate the most dramatic things

that have had to happen to them. --

2:16:322:16:37

that have happened to them. These

are children who are trying to give

2:16:372:16:43

evidence in the criminal justice

system and they shouldn't have to

2:16:432:16:45

wait four weeks for an intermediary.

One of the recommendations are my

2:16:452:16:49

review is to have a fast track

system and a central system where

2:16:492:16:52

they can have everybody on data and

if they need to have more registered

2:16:522:16:56

intermediaries available, they can

access them and go to the Ministry

2:16:562:16:59

of Justice or the National Crime

Agency who was responsible to match

2:16:592:17:03

them to work together to ensure

there isn't a waiting list as much

2:17:032:17:06

as they read at the moment.

Baroness

new love, we have spoken to the

2:17:062:17:11

Ministry of Justice, a spokesperson

giving us a statement saying, we

2:17:112:17:16

recently doubled the size of the

scheme, with 90% of requests being

2:17:162:17:23

made to intermediaries. They also

say they will look at this

2:17:232:17:34

recommendations.

Is that enough for

you? They have recruited 30

2:17:342:17:41

intermediaries but it's not about

looking at the recommendations

2:17:412:17:44

alone. This isn't about

intermediaries alone, it is about

2:17:442:17:49

writing the victims code. We are

dealing with children who are

2:17:492:17:54

vulnerable and we are dealing with

adults and children with disability

2:17:542:17:57

needs. That is why I think when you

see what the intermediaries do, they

2:17:572:18:01

are fantastic people to get the most

sensitive information out of it in a

2:18:012:18:06

most relaxed environment and surely

that should be the most relaxed

2:18:062:18:09

environment to make sure children

get equal access to justice.

Thank

2:18:092:18:19

you so much to both of you. It is

8:18am. If you have been watching

2:18:192:18:27

for a while, you will know that

Carol has been a lot more than

2:18:272:18:30

normal this morning. Some parts of

the country really treacherous this

2:18:302:18:34

morning. Carroll has update.

2:18:342:18:37

the country really treacherous this

morning. Carroll has update.

2:18:372:18:37

You are quite right. Treacherous

conditions at their because of

2:18:372:18:42

disruption as we have been hearing

in the news. This photo is of

2:18:422:18:47

Melrose and you can see the lying

snow. This is Ron Tulloch Bridge.

2:18:472:18:51

Look at the Dan Thorpe these now on

that table. -- look at the depth of

2:18:512:18:59

that snow on the table.

2:18:592:19:02

38 centimetres is almost 15 inches.

2:19:062:19:15

There is a lot of snow. The Met

office has had a amber weather

2:19:152:19:19

warning out for Scotland this

morning which has now expired but

2:19:192:19:24

still treacherous conditions if you

are out and about. Slowly, we will

2:19:242:19:30

start to see an improvement. We

still will have some snow showers, a

2:19:302:19:34

plethora of them in Scotland, but

they went to be as widespread and

2:19:342:19:38

neither will they be across Northern

Ireland and northern England. Around

2:19:382:19:42

that, there is a lot of dry weather

and sunshine around, but it will

2:19:422:19:46

still feel cold. Any showers tending

to be of rain or in some of the

2:19:462:19:50

heavier ones, hail or sleet. In

between the snow showers here, there

2:19:502:19:58

will be dry spells. Still a lot of

dry weather across Northern Ireland,

2:19:582:20:02

too, but some showers coming in.

More on that later. For northern

2:20:022:20:06

England, you again will have some

more snow showers but not as intense

2:20:062:20:11

as you have seen. The wind will

continue to ease a touch as well.

2:20:112:20:17

Further south, some sunshine with

some showers dotted around. But with

2:20:172:20:21

the wind, we are looking at large

waves crashing on shore on the west.

2:20:212:20:28

Then the next big Atlantic low comes

our way. This is what you can expect

2:20:282:20:34

this evening, wet, the wind

strengthening, snow in Northern

2:20:342:20:38

Ireland, especially so in the hills

and in the north. There will also be

2:20:382:20:41

held snow in Wales. Move this from

eight o'clock in the evening to five

2:20:412:20:45

o'clock in the morning. This is what

happens. As the snow engages with

2:20:452:20:48

the cold air across Northern

Ireland, we will see more snowfall.

2:20:482:20:54

Heavy across the southern uplands,

and at the same time, we have got

2:20:542:21:01

heavy rain spreading across Wales,

southern England, and gales. 50 mph,

2:21:012:21:11

70 mph quite possible with exposure

in the west. In the east, there

2:21:112:21:16

could be snow across parts of

Yorkshire and Lincolnshire early. If

2:21:162:21:21

you are travelling tonight are

indeed this evening, do bear that in

2:21:212:21:24

mind. We are likely to see

disruption from land. One good thing

2:21:242:21:28

is it moves through quite quickly.

The winds ease the touch, we see

2:21:282:21:33

some sunshine tomorrow but still

some showers coming in from

2:21:332:21:36

some sunshine tomorrow but still

some showers coming in from the

2:21:362:21:36

west.

2:21:362:21:36

some sunshine tomorrow but still

some showers coming in from the

2:21:362:21:37

west. Carol, thank you. We will see

you in about 25 minutes time.

2:21:372:21:42

The NHS is 'haemorrhaging' nurses -

that's according to latest figures

2:21:422:21:45

which show thousands are leaving

the NHS compared to

2:21:452:21:47

those who are joining.

2:21:472:21:48

10% of nursing staff

are walking away

2:21:482:21:50

from hospital wards each year.

2:21:502:21:51

Our health correspondent Dominic

Hughes has been finding out why.

2:21:562:21:58

She became a nurse to help people,

excited at the prospect of making

2:21:582:22:01

a difference but in the end,

the job overwhelmed Mary Trevelyan.

2:22:012:22:05

I would end up in tears during

a shift because there was just

2:22:052:22:08

so much pressure and stress.

2:22:082:22:11

A never-ending list of things to do,

guilt over not having enough time

2:22:112:22:14

to care for patients.

2:22:142:22:17

Stress led to depression and Mary

has had to leave the job she loved.

2:22:172:22:22

I want to be a great nurse

and I want to give my patients my

2:22:222:22:26

best but I feel I can't do that

at the moment because we are just

2:22:262:22:30

too short-staffed, too busy.

2:22:302:22:33

There's far too many

things for us to be doing.

2:22:332:22:37

We have analysed the number

of nurses working in

2:22:372:22:39

the NHS in England.

2:22:392:22:41

Last year, more than

33,000 nurses walked away

2:22:412:22:44

from their health service jobs.

2:22:442:22:47

That's a 20% rise compared to four

years ago and those leaving

2:22:472:22:50

outnumbered those joining.

2:22:502:22:54

And almost one in four

of those leaving are

2:22:542:22:56

relatively young, under 30.

2:22:562:23:01

All of this has potentially serious

implications for a sustainable

2:23:012:23:03

nursing profession.

2:23:032:23:09

Unless we can actually improve

the number of nurses that

2:23:092:23:12

are there to support the new nurses

coming in, it becomes a continuous

2:23:122:23:15

vicious cycle where people

won't want to stay because they've

2:23:152:23:18

not got the support the workplace.

2:23:182:23:23

Many nurses are thinking

about or have already left

2:23:232:23:27

the profession and that's just one

reason why so many hospitals

2:23:272:23:29

are struggling to recruit

properly trained staff.

2:23:292:23:32

Yet the government tells us

thousands more nurses

2:23:322:23:35

are working in the NHS today

than they were in 2010.

2:23:352:23:43

In order to retain staff, to keep

them on the books, they need to give

2:23:442:23:47

them new opportunities.

2:23:472:23:48

And that's what nurses like

Sarah Dalby are making the most of.

2:23:482:23:51

She is now able to perform surgery

thanks to specialist training,

2:23:512:23:54

developing new skills which have

taken her a long way

2:23:542:23:56

from the traditional nursing role.

2:23:562:24:01

It is always nice to have an option

to develop into another pathway

2:24:012:24:04

or opportunity if that's

what you want to do -

2:24:042:24:08

it's not for everyone,

because nursing is so varied

2:24:082:24:15

and it's a privilege to be a nurse.

2:24:152:24:23

We care for patients

at their most

2:24:242:24:26

vulnerable and it's certainly

challenging at the moment

2:24:262:24:28

but that doesn't take away

from what we are doing as a career.

2:24:282:24:31

Mary has not turned her back

on nursing altogether.

2:24:312:24:33

Like some of her friends,

she is now thinking of working

2:24:332:24:36

abroad but today's NHS is not

for her and many other nurses appear

2:24:362:24:39

to be reaching a similar conclusion.

2:24:392:24:40

Dominic Hughes, BBC News.

2:24:402:24:41

Well, there are two different

stories there. Dominic is at

2:24:412:24:45

Birmingham Children's Hospital and I

know you have been speaking to

2:24:452:24:47

nurses that this morning.

Yes,

Louise. We are on the cardiology

2:24:472:24:52

unit. It's one of the biggest,

busiest cardiology units in the

2:24:522:24:58

country. The ward started waking up

about 25 minutes ago. I'm delighted

2:24:582:25:02

to say I am joined by Kyle Adams,

the lead nurse for safety here at

2:25:022:25:09

Birmingham children's. What does

patient safety mean?

It's my job to

2:25:092:25:15

look at how

2:25:152:25:17

patient safety mean?

It's my job to

look at how

2:25:172:25:20

patient safety mean?

It's my job to

look at how deliver our care to make

2:25:202:25:26

sure it is as safe and as good as

possible for our patients.

How long

2:25:262:25:30

have you been a nice?

22 years.

2:25:302:25:39

have you been a nice?

22 years.

How

have things changed? Did roles such

2:25:392:25:41

as yours and the surgical position

we just mentioned exist 22 years

2:25:412:25:44

ago?

I don't remember them existing

but it's a great way of keeping

2:25:442:25:52

people in the profession.

How

important is it that roles like that

2:25:522:25:56

exist to allow people like yourself,

highly experienced and professional,

2:25:562:26:01

to remain in the profession?

It's

really important because we don't

2:26:012:26:05

want to lose people from the

profession he would have all of

2:26:052:26:09

those experiences and training, so

holding onto them is extremely

2:26:092:26:15

important.

The government point out

they have created more than 5000

2:26:152:26:22

extra places for training masses

last year, a 25% increase, and also

2:26:222:26:28

they say that there are more nurses

working in hospitals in England at

2:26:282:26:33

least now than there were in 2010.

Clearly, we know that there are

2:26:332:26:38

problems in Scotland, Wales and

Northern Ireland with the retention

2:26:382:26:41

of experienced staff. So it is a

problem that exists right across the

2:26:412:26:45

United Kingdom.

Thank you very much

indeed.

2:26:452:26:52

Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are.

2:26:522:26:56

We are going to talk about sneezing

a little bit later.

2:26:562:27:00

Anything else he would like to say?

No, that is it.

2:27:002:30:27

which is on your screen now.

2:30:272:30:28

Now though it's back

to Dan and Louise.

2:30:282:30:30

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

2:30:332:30:41

Good morning, thank you for being

with us. Let's bring you up-to-date

2:30:412:30:45

with the news and sport this

morning.

2:30:452:30:48

Snow and ice are causing

serious problems on roads

2:30:482:30:50

across Scotland, Northern Ireland

and Northern England,

2:30:502:30:52

with drivers stranded in long queues

on the M74 motorway overnight.

2:30:522:30:55

Mountain rescue teams have been

helping motorists who were trapped

2:30:552:30:57

in their cars for more

than eight hours.

2:30:572:31:00

The bad weather has caused some

schools to close across the north of

2:31:002:31:03

England, Northern Ireland and parts

of Scotland.

2:31:032:31:11

Carol will have the forecast for

everybody in about ten minutes time.

2:31:132:31:18

More nurses left the health service

in England last year than joined -

2:31:182:31:22

BBC analysis of NHS data found

that just over 33,000

2:31:222:31:24

nurses left the service -

3,000 more than signed up.

2:31:242:31:26

The Royal College of Nursing says

experienced staff are leaving

2:31:262:31:29

because they're demoralised.

2:31:292:31:30

NHS England's Chief Nursing Officer

says despite pressures, front line

2:31:302:31:32

staff are still providing good care.

2:31:322:31:40

The construction firm Carillion was

left with just £29 million when it

2:31:432:31:48

collapsed on Thursday. It owed

billions to its creditors. This is

2:31:482:31:53

according to documents seen by the

BBC. The firm's chief executive

2:31:532:32:00

prepared to make the firm in

solvent. The government has ordered

2:32:002:32:05

a fast track investigation of the

firm's collapse.

2:32:052:32:10

Donald Trump has been advised

to eat a lower fat diet

2:32:102:32:13

and take more exercise, after his

first medical check-up in office.

2:32:132:32:15

However the White House doctor says

the President - who's 71 -

2:32:152:32:18

is generally in excellent health

and that he performed

2:32:182:32:21

well in cognitive tests.

2:32:212:32:23

We have some interesting footage to

show you now.

2:32:232:32:26

When Lindsey Thomson lost her cat

Koshka in a California mudslide

2:32:262:32:29

she didn't give up hope

of finding her alive.

2:32:292:32:34

Thank you so much! We needed

something like this to happen for

2:32:342:32:37

our family.

2:32:372:32:39

That is the emotional moment Lindsey

was reunited with Koshka

2:32:392:32:42

after an incredible effort

to track her down.

2:32:422:32:44

Lindsey was airlifted from her home

by helicopter but was determined

2:32:442:32:46

to find her cat so she contacted

firefighters who kept track

2:32:462:32:49

of muddy paw prints for a week.

2:32:492:32:52

One firefighter then heard cries

and managed to crawl

2:32:522:32:54

through a second-floor window

to rescue her.

2:32:542:33:01

Koshka looks a little bit scared but

back in safe hands. Clearly,

2:33:012:33:06

incredibly brave.

2:33:062:33:12

Is that what you like with the new

dog in your house?

Pretty much! She

2:33:122:33:17

is called Ruby but she is absolutely

lovely.

2:33:172:33:23

That brings you up to date.

2:33:232:33:27

It tells the story of one of our

most famous periods of history,

2:33:272:33:31

but for the last 950 years,

the Bayeux Tapestry

2:33:312:33:33

has lived in France.

2:33:332:33:34

An expert will explain why its

return to Britain is so significant.

2:33:342:33:37

I felt I was actually doing

something useful, and doing

2:33:372:33:41

something well.

2:33:412:33:44

Marking 100 years of

the Royal Air Force.

2:33:442:33:46

We'll hear from the last surviving

British member of the Dambusters,

2:33:462:33:48

as the RAF prepares to reform

its most famous squadron.

2:33:482:33:51

And we'll meet the dancer who's

lifted the lid on balancing a dream

2:33:512:33:54

career as a ballerina,

with the demands of being a mum.

2:33:542:34:02

I should thank all the viewers who

have been sending pictures of their

2:34:042:34:07

dogs.

If you missed it Britain's top dog

2:34:072:34:12

was named as a Labrador and Louise

has two.

2:34:122:34:17

I am not the only person who has got

one and agrees with that.

But you

2:34:172:34:22

would think so, the amount you have

been talking about it!

You are ahead

2:34:222:34:28

of the curve!

2:34:282:34:34

I know we have been talking about

VAR a lot, apologies. Last week was

2:34:342:34:40

the first one was used in football

then it was the first time it was

2:34:402:34:44

properly put into action and last

night was the first we saw whether a

2:34:442:34:48

goal should stand or not. It was

quite a big moment last night.

2:34:482:34:59

It came in Leicester City's 2-0 FA

Cup third round replay

2:34:592:35:02

over Fleetwood Town.

2:35:022:35:03

Kelechi Iheanacho put Leicester 1-0

ahead against the League One side

2:35:032:35:06

at the King Power.

2:35:062:35:08

And then came his

second, at first ruled

2:35:082:35:10

offside by the linesman,

referred to the VAR,

2:35:102:35:12

and after careful consideration

he was judged to have been onside.

2:35:122:35:18

So the goal stands.

We are a lot

better. From the first leg we knew

2:35:192:35:25

we had to perform a lot better and

be more professional on the pitch.

2:35:252:35:29

We have done that tonight. Man has

got the goals and it shows that VAR

2:35:292:35:35

does work.

2:35:352:35:37

There were no upsets in any of last

night's other four replays.

2:35:372:35:40

West Ham were taken to extra time

by League One Shrewsbury,

2:35:402:35:42

but the Premier League side

made it through.

2:35:422:35:44

Cardiff, Sheffield Wednesday

and Reading are also

2:35:442:35:46

through to the fourth round.

2:35:462:35:47

Ronnie O'Sullivan rattled

through his first round match

2:35:472:35:49

at the Masters snooker,

allowing Marco Fu to pot only eight

2:35:492:35:52

balls in a six frames to nil

thrashing O'Sullivan's won this

2:35:522:35:54

tournament a record seven times,

and he made three century breaks

2:35:542:35:58

in the first four frames in a match

that only lasted just over an hour

2:35:582:36:01

and a half at Alexandra Palace.

2:36:012:36:02

Amazingly, Ronnie reckoned

he's wasn't at his best.

2:36:022:36:06

I have a virus or something

and I just felt very dizzy

2:36:062:36:09

and I felt sort of...

2:36:092:36:10

Really?

2:36:102:36:12

You looked in good form.

2:36:122:36:14

I just played off instinct -

don't think, just pot balls -

2:36:142:36:16

but really struggling

over the last 5, 6 days.

2:36:162:36:19

Have you been struggling

with illness?

2:36:192:36:20

No, I've just been feeling dizzy.

2:36:202:36:23

You couldn't give it to me?

2:36:232:36:24

I could do with a few days...

2:36:242:36:26

Maybe a lack of magnesium

I was told, but I have been eating

2:36:262:36:29

well for the last few months.

2:36:292:36:32

He could do with a spot of colour in

his cheeks, couldn't he?

2:36:322:36:38

Britain's Kyle Edmund

has reached the third

2:36:382:36:40

round of the Australian Open

for the first time.

2:36:402:36:42

The British number two

beat Denis Istomin from

2:36:422:36:44

Uzbekistan in straight sets.

2:36:442:36:45

Edmund goes on to face

world number 61 Nikoloz Basilashvili

2:36:452:36:48

of Georgia next.

2:36:482:36:51

Top seed Rafael Nadal

is looking comfortable

2:36:512:36:53

in his second round match

against Argentina's Leonardo Mayer.

2:36:532:37:01

He is through in straight sets.

2:37:042:37:09

Coverage of that and all the action,

including a hard fought

2:37:092:37:12

victory for number two seed

Caroline Wozniacki,

2:37:122:37:16

is on Five Live sports extra

and the BBC sport website.

2:37:162:37:23

Roger Federer went through yesterday

but some tough questions from Ron

2:37:232:37:28

Burgundy from Anchorman.

2:37:282:37:31

Tonight you seemed like a gazelle

out there on the court.

2:37:312:37:34

Would you describe your game

as a silky gazelle?

2:37:342:37:36

Maybe.

2:37:362:37:37

Maybe not.

2:37:372:37:40

Don't they get eaten at the end?

2:37:402:37:43

Not if they're fast enough.

2:37:432:37:50

Roger Federer as a silky gazelle. In

fact, they call him the goat: the

2:37:502:37:57

greatest of all time.

He always deals with that stuff

2:37:572:38:00

brilliantly.

Yes, he is such a good

sport.

2:38:002:38:10

They travel at 200 miles per hour

and can make your eyes

2:38:102:38:13

pop out of your head.

2:38:132:38:14

They're just some of the theories

you've sent in to us since we spoke

2:38:142:38:18

about sneezing yesterday.

2:38:182:38:21

We mention it regularly because when

you sneeze, not a single noise comes

2:38:212:38:26

out of your nose or your mouth.

The

silent sneeze.

We have picked this

2:38:262:38:32

up because of a story we heard

yesterday. A man much at his throat

2:38:322:38:37

while trying to stifle a sneeze. I

remember being told if you open your

2:38:372:38:41

eyes when you sneeze, your eyes pop

out of your head!

2:38:412:38:49

Here to help us separate fact

from fiction when it comes

2:38:492:38:52

to sneezing is John DeCarpentier,

an ear, nose and throat specialist.

2:38:522:38:54

Hello. Good morning. Shall we just

put to rest some of those theories.

2:38:542:39:02

Your eyes?

Will not pop out.

I'm so

glad you said that.

2:39:022:39:07

I have told him. I was told it at

school. Where has that come from?

It

2:39:072:39:14

is an urban myth. You cannot pop you

are out.

Is it because you cannot

2:39:142:39:19

open your eyes when you sneeze?

No,

that is another one. It is possible

2:39:192:39:24

to sneeze with your eyes open. The

vast majority of people close their

2:39:242:39:28

eyes. When you are driving you

blink, you

2:39:282:39:36

blink, you do not have to close

them.

They can be explosive?

They're

2:39:362:39:38

always explosive, that is their

purpose. The purpose of the sneeze

2:39:382:39:40

is to get rid of something which is

irritating your nose normally. So

2:39:402:39:44

you let out a under great pressure

to try and expel the stuff from your

2:39:442:39:49

nose. If you're being polite you try

and divert it through your mouth but

2:39:492:39:53

the job is to get rid of stuff which

is irritating your nose.

There is a

2:39:532:39:59

beautiful picture over your right

shoulder of the explanation from the

2:39:592:40:07

nasal passages and the mouth, how

fast is that travelling? Is it 200

2:40:072:40:11

mph?

Nobody really knows. Some

people have done tests where they

2:40:112:40:16

say up to 200. 100 is the commonly

quoted thing. Nobody really knows.

2:40:162:40:21

It is not something that doctors

really worry about. We know it comes

2:40:212:40:26

out quickly. We always notice when

you least want sneeze in next year

2:40:262:40:31

but other than that we're not

bothered about the speed.

The reason

2:40:312:40:34

we were talking about this in the

first place is because somebody

2:40:342:40:39

damaged themselves by stifling a

sneeze. Is it damaging?

It can be

2:40:392:40:46

damaging. To damage yourself by Sun

Life typically stifling the sneeze

2:40:462:40:49

can be incredibly rare. That is why

it is in name Journal. You can

2:40:492:40:54

fracture your ribs or her to a drum

is but lots of people stifle sneezes

2:40:542:41:01

without a problem but it is unwise.

Unwise. I have been told. I don't

2:41:012:41:09

like sneezing on him because I don't

like people at home having to listen

2:41:092:41:14

to me sneeze so I stifle them.

You

should probably let them out.

Some

2:41:142:41:23

facts have been coming up on the

screen. Do bright lights make people

2:41:232:41:29

sneeze?

About a third of people,

when you go into a bright light it

2:41:292:41:33

will stimulate the nerve in your

face and they will sneeze because of

2:41:332:41:40

a reflex. Two thirds of people

don't. But if you do, you do.

It is

2:41:402:41:45

flu season at the moment and

sneezing is a part of that as well.

2:41:452:41:49

You do need to be courteous and

think of other people.

Yes, you

2:41:492:41:53

should, you should catch it and wash

hands like the campaign says.

2:41:532:42:03

hands like the campaign says. And

the Dracula manoeuvre is a good one,

2:42:032:42:05

where you sneeze into your arm. That

way when you shake somebody's hand,

2:42:052:42:08

you're not transmitting what you

have sneezed out. And when you do

2:42:082:42:13

sneeze and you have got a cold, the

cold virus can survive for a long

2:42:132:42:17

time on services, and that is how it

tends to spread.

Can you tell the

2:42:172:42:21

difference between a sneeze because

of analogy and because you have got

2:42:212:42:25

a virus?

No, they are both just

sneezes. Slicing is one of the four

2:42:252:42:31

major symptoms of analogy. When you

sneeze a lot, it is reasonable to be

2:42:312:42:35

tested to see if you are allergic to

something

2:42:352:42:44

something which is setting you. You

can have straightforward medication

2:42:442:42:46

-- a symptom of an allergy.

I dead

want to ruin people's breakfast that

2:42:462:42:52

babies when they have a cold and

they do the double nostril.

Babies

2:42:522:43:00

do not try and change the pressure,

they get it all up through their

2:43:002:43:04

nose and everything comes out.

Lovely! It has been one of the

2:43:042:43:10

discussions we have had a few times.

I look forward to your first full

2:43:102:43:15

volume sneeze.

I don't know if I can let it out.

If

2:43:152:43:21

you do the Dracula without a sleeve,

it is slightly less...

2:43:212:43:25

Au! Thank you again. I think you

might have crossed a line.

2:43:252:43:31

A while ago! Thank you.

2:43:312:43:39

It's the largest surviving medieval

artefact in the world and it

2:43:392:43:42

documents one of the most important

events in British history.

2:43:422:43:44

But for the last 950 years,

the Bayeux Tapestry

2:43:442:43:47

has been in France.

2:43:472:43:48

Now, a deal struck between

Theresa May and the French President

2:43:482:43:50

means it will return to Britain

to go on display here.

2:43:502:43:55

Let's first have a look at it in its

current home.

2:43:552:44:00

It is magical to be taken back

thousand years in this dark chamber

2:44:002:44:05

to see history spelt out for you. 70

metres long, right down to the end

2:44:052:44:10

and round the back. I have seen this

many times. Every time I see it I

2:44:102:44:19

have to say it just brings the whole

story of William's invasion of

2:44:192:44:25

England alive. This was done by

people living only a few years after

2:44:252:44:31

the event. You really feel the power

and the passion that went into it.

2:44:312:44:36

It is a completely magical work of

art.

2:44:362:44:45

Maggie Kneen is a researcher who has

studied the tapestry

2:44:452:44:48

and she joins us now.

2:44:482:44:52

Thank you for joining us. We talk

about it a lot. What is it like?

It

2:44:522:44:58

is amazing. I have only studied it

for about ten years. Before that, I

2:44:582:45:04

always used to class it in my mind

as something like how you would

2:45:042:45:09

think of the Mona Lisa or something.

It is really iconic, but when you

2:45:092:45:15

get to know it like I have been

lucky enough to do, you realise what

2:45:152:45:20

a treasure, what a treasure house

cities of information about what was

2:45:202:45:26

going on at the time.

2:45:262:45:32

It is so vast and people have tried

to get it back to the United Kingdom

2:45:322:45:36

and it has been turned down by

France. For you, you're smiling

2:45:362:45:40

already. I can see you're excited

about the fact that it is coming

2:45:402:45:44

back for a bit.

This is incredible

and I went to study it in situ,

2:45:442:45:50

there has been talk about whether

the tapestry would ever come back to

2:45:502:45:55

England because it was made in

Canterbury. It is more or less

2:45:552:46:01

proven now through art historical

means. It was always will it, won't

2:46:012:46:06

it? Oh, and it's just come as such a

marvellous piece of news. It's going

2:46:062:46:15

to be so important for children, I

think, to learn from it.

One of the

2:46:152:46:20

things we've been talking today is

there are lots of myths and it is a

2:46:202:46:25

tapestry...

It is not. It's an

embroidery.

You can see the sort of

2:46:252:46:31

individual stitching and it just,

you know, the intricacy of the work

2:46:312:46:35

is stunning.

Yes. I have seen

pictures of the back of it and the

2:46:352:46:41

stitching is as beautiful on the

back as it is on the front.

One of

2:46:412:46:46

the other myths we talked about

earlier was whether it was made by a

2:46:462:46:51

series of nuns, what's your view on

that?

Well, I follow my friend Alex,

2:46:512:47:01

who is an embroiderist. Her theory

is it was made by groups of nuns,

2:47:012:47:07

but in the one place and that place

would have been St Awe gusten's

2:47:072:47:13

Abbey in Canterbury. St Awe gustens

was knocked down in the 16th century

2:47:132:47:22

it is just ruins now.

There have

been many campaigns to try and get

2:47:222:47:26

it back and to have it on display. A

moment ago we saw David Dimbleby

2:47:262:47:35

travelling and he asked whether the

French would mind the tapestry

2:47:352:47:38

coming to Britain and here are the

answers.

2:47:382:47:50

It seems they are as passionate

about it as you are. What about

2:48:232:48:27

Harold getting one in eye. How

accurate is that because that's one

2:48:272:48:30

of the scenes on the tapestry?

From

what I believe, again going back to

2:48:302:48:35

Alex's work, that was a Victorian

addition. The actual arrow that is

2:48:352:48:44

sewn on to the tapestry was added on

later on.

Does it means if it comes

2:48:442:48:49

here, that if people like you can do

more investigation and more research

2:48:492:48:54

as well?

Yes. That would be amazing

and really to see the back of it

2:48:542:48:58

rather than just a CD of images. It

would be tremendous for scholars.

2:48:582:49:10

Theresa May and Emmanuel Macron are

meeting tomorrow. We may hear about

2:49:102:49:14

how long and when we will get the

Bayeux Tapestry. Maggie has been

2:49:142:49:20

studying the tapestry for ten years.

You asked earlier about tapestry and

2:49:202:49:26

embroidery. A tapestry is made on a

loom and embroidery is by hand.

The

2:49:262:49:33

picture is sewn on and drawn on to

the linen directly, I think.

2:49:332:49:38

Fascinating. Thank you very much

indeed. Thanks, Maggie.

My pleasure.

2:49:382:49:43

Here's Carol with a look

at this morning's weather.

2:49:432:49:47

It has been a lovely day for people

who like the snow in many parts of

2:49:472:49:52

the United Kingdom! Look at the dog

behind you.

2:49:522:49:56

the United Kingdom! Look at the dog

behind you. Essenceable. He has got

2:49:562:50:00

his coat on! The heaviest of the

snow has been in Scotland and

2:50:002:50:05

northern England. This picture taken

in County Antrim. Another lovely

2:50:052:50:09

picture, you can see the depth of

the snow in done bain.

2:50:092:50:15

The snow stopped, but it is still

grey. If you are travelling this

2:50:152:50:19

morning, watch out for snow and ice.

Some of us have seen quite deep

2:50:192:50:23

snow. It has been blowing and

drifting as we've gone through the

2:50:232:50:26

course of the night into this

morning, but now it will start to

2:50:262:50:32

use off and the wind will start to

ease as well and the snow showers,

2:50:322:50:36

although they will be around won't

be as widespread. Come south of all

2:50:362:50:40

that snow and we're looking at drier

conditions. It will still feel cold.

2:50:402:50:44

There will be a lot of sunshine

around and any showers at sea level

2:50:442:50:47

will tend to be of rain, maybe with

some of the heavier showers we could

2:50:472:50:52

see sleet and hail. Across Scotland

we hang on to the snow showers. The

2:50:522:50:56

very nature of showers means not

everyone is going to catch one. For

2:50:562:51:00

Northern Ireland, again we've got

showers, some of those will be

2:51:002:51:02

wintry and across northern England

as well, but in between them, there

2:51:022:51:05

will be some sunshine. The wind

continuing to ease, but it will be a

2:51:052:51:09

windy day. South of that again,

through East Anglia and into Kent,

2:51:092:51:14

the Midlands and down towards

Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and

2:51:142:51:16

Wales down to the south-west, a lot

of sunshine. Some showers, but

2:51:162:51:20

mostly of rain, but big waves in the

west. Now through this evening and

2:51:202:51:25

overnight, our next area of low

pressure comes our way. This chart

2:51:252:51:27

has stopped at 8am just to show you

what's going to happen. We have got

2:51:272:51:31

this rain coming our way,

strengthening winds and hill snow.

2:51:312:51:36

Across Northern Ireland, mainly in

the north and across North Wales. If

2:51:362:51:40

we pick up the chart from 8pm until

5am, watch what happens. We're

2:51:402:51:46

looking at heavy snow pushing across

northern England and Southern

2:51:462:51:49

Scotland and possibly into the

Central Lowlands as well. Heavy rain

2:51:492:51:54

scooting across Northern Ireland,

Wales and England. Gusts of wind to

2:51:542:51:59

gale force inland, 40mph to 50mph

gusts. Along the coasts we're

2:51:592:52:03

looking at up to 70mph. Severe gales

along the coasts. There is the risk

2:52:032:52:07

of ice as well. This won't clear

eastern areas during tomorrow

2:52:072:52:13

morning's rush hour. It will be

later for you. Expect disruption

2:52:132:52:16

because of those elements and I will

show you what's going to happen

2:52:162:52:19

through the rest of tomorrow.

Through the morning, the whole low

2:52:192:52:22

pressure does pull away. Behind it,

the winds a touch. There will be

2:52:222:52:25

sunshine, but still a plethora of

showers coming into the west, still

2:52:252:52:29

at lower levels, across Western

Scotland in particular, Lou and Dan.

2:52:292:52:35

Thank you very much indeed, Carol

for looking after us. Thanks.

2:52:352:52:43

It's 8.52am.

2:52:432:52:46

It's just over 50 years

since abortion was first legalised

2:52:462:52:48

in Britain, and for many, it's still

a divisive and emotive subject.

2:52:482:52:52

This weekend a new BBC drama sets

out to explore the issue.

2:52:522:52:56

I Told My Mum I Was Going on an RE

Trip is based on real-life accounts

2:52:562:53:00

by health professionals, women,

men and young people from all sides

2:53:002:53:02

of the debate.

2:53:022:53:07

We'll speak to two of those

involved in the project

2:53:072:53:13

Writer and artistic director

Julia Samuels is here,

2:53:132:53:15

along with the actress Jamie-Lee

O'Donnell.

2:53:152:53:18

How is the drama done?

We are using

a technique called recorded delivery

2:53:182:53:23

which basically means the actors are

listening to the real interviews. It

2:53:232:53:27

is almost all made from real

interviews and they're listening to

2:53:272:53:30

the actual recordings as they

perform. So they're copying what

2:53:302:53:33

they're hearing.

The voices of real

people, everyone is going through,

2:53:332:53:41

you're going through the voices of

real experience with regards to the

2:53:412:53:44

subject matter.

As we're performing

we're listening to the interviews

2:53:442:53:48

and that brings a realism to the

performance. It's not really about

2:53:482:53:52

creating a character because the

people are already there, the

2:53:522:53:54

stories have already happened and

it's just portraying them as true

2:53:542:53:57

and as honest as possible and it is

a really good technique.

Shall we

2:53:572:54:00

have a look at how it works?

2:54:002:54:07

I was pregnant when I

was 16 with Ashley.

2:54:072:54:09

I kind of knew it was my decision

to have her and then March 2012,

2:54:092:54:13

I got pregnant again and I decided

that it was the wrong time

2:54:132:54:19

and that's when I thought I had

to have the abortion and I just

2:54:192:54:24

thought about Ashley,

her dad wasn't about, so I thought

2:54:242:54:27

I had to give her my 110% attention.

2:54:272:54:29

So she kind of made the decision

a bit easier as well.

2:54:292:54:37

It is a really divisive subject

still and people have moral

2:54:412:54:47

objections to abortion. Are you

renchs that in the drama too?

It

2:54:472:54:51

started as a piece of theatre

actually and I did over 50

2:54:512:54:55

interviews with lots of people,

women who had abortions and young

2:54:552:54:58

people with different opinions.

Campaigners, and doctors and there

2:54:582:55:03

is a really interesting section

where there is a doctor who is an

2:55:032:55:08

abortion care provider, but another

doctor who an objector and there are

2:55:082:55:15

scenes where young people are

grappling with how do they feel

2:55:152:55:18

about this? And there is a lot of

people in the middle going, "How do

2:55:182:55:23

I feel about this? I feel OK about

it in some situations, but not

2:55:232:55:29

others." It is exploring the debate

and the issue, something that

2:55:292:55:32

happens to so many women.

You

mentioned something that happens so

2:55:322:55:35

many women. The figures are stark,

aren't they? One in three women in

2:55:352:55:39

the UK will have abortion in their

lifetime. Jamie-Lee, this is still a

2:55:392:55:45

taboo, it is not something that

people talk about, is it?

You're

2:55:452:55:49

correct and where I'm

2:55:492:55:58

correct and where I'm from, it is

still illegal. Why people are

2:55:582:56:02

reluctant to discuss it and why it

makes so many people uncomfortable,

2:56:022:56:08

because of a piece like this will

explore it and get people talking.

2:56:082:56:12

What are the challenges?

It has been

really tricky. We work with a really

2:56:122:56:18

fantastic film and TV director who

worked really closely with us to

2:56:182:56:22

look at how we could translate it

from theatre on to TV. I think

2:56:222:56:27

because it is mostly made from

interviews, the way that those

2:56:272:56:30

interviews were originally done was

a person talking to another person.

2:56:302:56:34

So actually that works quite well on

telly, it is a lot of people talking

2:56:342:56:40

to camera and just describing their

experiences.

You're from Northern

2:56:402:56:42

Ireland. You're also in Derry Girls

at the moment.

Yes.

It has been well

2:56:422:56:49

received, what was that like?

Different.

2:56:492:56:55

LAUGHTER

Derry Girls is brilliant. It was a

2:56:562:56:58

great experience and so much fun to

do. It's a comedy and it's just, it

2:56:582:57:03

was brilliant and it has been so

well received which has been great

2:57:032:57:06

and as an actor getting to do Re

Trip And Derry Girls has been

2:57:062:57:17

fantastic.

Both very good pieces.

Thank you very much for coming on

2:57:172:57:20

and talking about them.

2:57:202:57:23

And you can watch I Told My Mum

I Was Going on an RE Trip

2:57:232:57:26

on Saturday night

on BBC Two at 11.15pm.

2:57:262:57:29

Nice to see you both.

2:57:292:57:32

It's the most famous flying

team in British history.

2:57:322:57:34

Now, almost 75 years after carrying

out the daring Dambusters raid,

2:57:342:57:37

the RAF's 617 Squadron

is being reformed.

2:57:372:57:38

It's to mark 100 years

of the Royal British Air Force.

2:57:382:57:41

Let's speak to Sophie Raworth,

who's getting a sneak peak

2:57:412:57:43

of the new jets the team

will be flying.

2:57:432:57:46

And Sophie, you have

a personal connection

2:57:462:57:48

with the Air Force, haven't you?

2:57:482:57:51

I certainly have. If you have a look

at this, this is a photograph taken

2:57:512:57:56

in 1918 in France. It is a daylight

bomber. The man in the middle there

2:57:562:58:01

that you can see is my grandfather,

Captain Edw Raworth. By World War

2:58:012:58:17

II, of course, technology had moved

on and I have been to meet a man who

2:58:172:58:21

played a rather important part in

RAF history.

2:58:212:58:24

Amazing aircraft that, isn't it?

2:58:252:58:26

Absolutely.

2:58:262:58:29

George Johnny Johnson,

he's 96 years old and the last

2:58:292:58:31

surviving British member

of World War II's

2:58:312:58:33

famous Dambusters raid.

2:58:332:58:37

He joined the RAF in 1940,

one of many teenagers who signed up

2:58:372:58:40

to fight for their country.

2:58:402:58:41

He says it was thrilling.

2:58:412:58:43

I'd do the same again should

the situation arise and I find

2:58:432:58:49

that the satisfaction,

the personal satisfaction,

2:58:492:58:53

in being able to do

that was probably more

2:58:532:58:55

than anything else.

2:58:552:58:58

It's the sort of thing which I felt

I was actually doing something

2:58:582:59:01

useful and doing it well.

2:59:012:59:06

It was 75 years ago this May that

617 Squadron took off

2:59:062:59:11

in their Lancaster bombers

in their mission immortalised

2:59:112:59:18

in the Dambusters film to attack

dams in Germany's industrial

2:59:182:59:20

heartland using Barnes

Wallis' bouncing bomb.

2:59:202:59:22

The planes Johnny Johnson flew

are a world away from the aircraft

2:59:222:59:25

used by the RAF nowadays and he's

fascinated, not just

2:59:252:59:29

by the technology on board,

but also by the pilots learning

2:59:292:59:31

to fly them.

2:59:312:59:35

I can't understand any of it.

I wouldn't know where to begin.

2:59:352:59:40

It's a complete stranger,

but it's not a Lancaster.

2:59:402:59:46

I've always wanted to do it

since the age of four...

2:59:462:59:49

Flying officer Stephanie Searle

is one of the RAF's newest pilots

2:59:492:59:52

in awe of the stories from the past.

2:59:522:59:59

I hope I can measure

up to it to be honest.

2:59:593:00:02

A lot of them joined up

because of what was happening

3:00:023:00:04

in each of the world wars

and it was determination

3:00:043:00:07

and confidence and knowing

they were doing what was right

3:00:073:00:09

for their country.

3:00:093:00:10

I've been lucky enough to choose

this role for myself.

3:00:103:00:13

They were thrusted into it

and they just took to it and did

3:00:133:00:16

the best they could.

3:00:163:00:17

So I think it's more my ability

to measure up to them.

3:00:173:00:20

Johnny Johnson was one

of 133 men who took part

3:00:203:00:22

in the Dambusters raid.

3:00:223:00:23

53 of them never came home.

3:00:233:00:25

He still remembers

that night vividly.

3:00:253:00:26

I shall never forget

that Dambusters raid.

3:00:263:00:28

The highlight of that trip for me

was as we came home our route

3:00:283:00:35

was over what had been the Mohne Dam

and we knew which radio broadcast

3:00:353:00:42

it had been breached.

3:00:423:00:44

There was water everywhere.

It was just like an inland sea.

3:00:443:00:46

That, to me, was the sheer evidence

there had been some success.

3:00:463:00:54

We've done it.

3:00:543:00:57

That raid remains to this day

one of the most famous

3:00:573:01:00

in the Air Force's history.

3:01:003:01:05

So, as the RAF celebrates

its centenary, his advice

3:01:053:01:07

to the next generation.

3:01:073:01:08

Whatever you do, do it

to the best of your ability.

3:01:083:01:11

You'll find it makes you happy.

3:01:113:01:12

Had I had my time over again,

I would do the same again and hope

3:01:123:01:16

to get the same happiness

and enjoyment out of it than I did

3:01:163:01:20

for those 22 years I served.

3:01:203:01:21

I have to say thank

you to the Royal Air Force

3:01:213:01:24

for providing that life for me,

a wonderful life, it really was.

3:01:243:01:32

Johnnie Johnson. He was absolutely

wonderful. I have no idea what he

3:01:383:01:42

will make of this technology. This

is the latest state-of-the-art

3:01:423:01:48

cutting-edge Stealth fighter jet

which is arriving in the UK later

3:01:483:01:51

this year. It is the F 35 Lightning.

Flying it now is a test pilot based

3:01:513:02:03

in America. Tell us what you are

doing now and what it takes to fly?

3:02:033:02:10

I am in highly contested airspace

and I am using the stealth

3:02:103:02:16

characteristics of the F 35 to sneak

up on the aircraft. It is those

3:02:163:02:20

characteristics which allow us to go

where no other aircraft can go.

And

3:02:203:02:26

it can also land vertically?

That is

right. The F-35 was the world's

3:02:263:02:34

first supersonic aircraft.

3:02:343:02:40

first supersonic aircraft.

I was a

Harrier pilot by trade.

3:02:403:02:46

Harrier pilot by trade.

It has got

cruise control. We do not want the

3:02:483:02:51

pilot to be wrestling with his own

aircraft, we want him to be

3:02:513:02:56

concentrating on the adversary

aircraft.

I will allow you to

3:02:563:03:00

concentrate on what you're doing.

I'm going to talk to an RAF

3:03:003:03:04

historian. It is 100 years on the

1st of April that the RAF was

3:03:043:03:09

formed. This new jet will be flown

by both Royal Navy pilots and Royal

3:03:093:03:15

Air Force pilots which is

effectively how the RAF came

3:03:153:03:18

together in the first place?... The

RF originated out of the Royal Navy

3:03:183:03:26

-- the RAF. You have gone full

circle.

Your grandfather would not

3:03:263:03:33

recognise this technology.

And

flight had only just taken place 15

3:03:333:03:39

years before?

That was the case. It

was quickly realised this was a new

3:03:393:03:43

form of warfare. By the end of 1918

it had proven itself as having a

3:03:433:03:48

dramatic affect. A third element of

warfare after land and sea.

And the

3:03:483:03:54

significance of this jet, it is

great timing because it will stand

3:03:543:04:03

up with 617 Squadron, the legendary

Squadron.

Yes, it is one of the RF's

3:04:033:04:09

great squadrons and it is testament

that it will be back on the front

3:04:093:04:12

line for the Royal Air Force.

The

pilots of World War I and World War

3:04:123:04:17

II would not recognise the

technology we have these days but

3:04:173:04:21

also the size of the RAF. It is a

fraction of what it was.

They look

3:04:213:04:25

at an aeroplane, it has two macro

wings and it does effectively the

3:04:253:04:32

same job but the size of the

aircraft is smaller. We do not need

3:04:323:04:34

the hundreds of thousands of

personnel to man the air force. The

3:04:343:04:39

technology is really filling that

gap and so the personnel are more

3:04:393:04:42

highly trained on the technology

which allows us to develop a much

3:04:423:04:46

higher firepower, if you like.

Thank

you very much and to Andy as well

3:04:463:04:52

who was flying behind me. What do

you reckon, would you like a go?

3:04:523:04:57

Apparently it is very easy to fly.

I'm sure, but only in the simulator!

3:04:573:05:04

Thank you, Sophie. It looks amazing.

I'm sure on the 1st of April, the

3:05:043:05:09

anniversary of

3:05:093:05:14

the Royal Air Force, we will be

looking at it again.

3:05:243:05:27

Thank you. I crashed a simulator on

a school trip. I was going on a

3:05:273:05:30

school trip and we had a go on a

stimulator and I crashed within

3:05:303:05:32

about ten seconds.

I have done the same. It is brother

3:05:323:05:34

bleed because we are not pilots.

3:05:343:05:38

In a moment, we'll speak

to a ballerina who's lifting the lid

3:05:383:05:41

on balancing a dream career

as a ballerina,

3:05:413:05:43

with the demands of being a mum.

3:05:433:05:44

First though, here's a last,

brief look at the headlines

3:05:443:07:21

Bye for now.

3:07:213:07:24

Hello, welcome back, you are

watching breakfast.

3:07:313:07:35

When Laura Tye became pregnant, she,

like many mothers wondered how

3:07:353:07:38

she would be able to balance

work and parenthood.

3:07:383:07:40

What sets Laura apart

is that she's a soloist

3:07:403:07:42

for the Birmingham Royal Ballet.

3:07:423:07:43

It's an industry where very few

women have children and return

3:07:433:07:46

to dance at a top level.

3:07:463:07:47

Her journey has been captured

by a documentary team.

3:07:473:07:49

Let's take a look.

3:07:493:07:54

Asking other dancers,

do you want children

3:07:543:07:57

in a very excited way

and you get the response,

3:07:573:08:01

"Oh no.

3:08:013:08:02

No, not when I'm dancing,

3:08:023:08:03

I need to be there for my children".

3:08:033:08:05

I think they forget,

although I'm not there 24/7

3:08:053:08:07

in person, I'm being there,

I'm providing for my children.

3:08:073:08:12

So that kind of hurts,

but I think people don't think

3:08:123:08:15

before they speak and

as a parent you take

3:08:153:08:17

it very personally.

3:08:173:08:18

Some people think that once you

become a mother, you're a mother.

3:08:183:08:22

Other people choose

to have their careers and have

3:08:223:08:23

children after and I've chose to do

it this way.

3:08:233:08:28

There's no right way,

there's no wrong way and I'm sure

3:08:283:08:34

things could have been easier,

but I'm not scared of a bit

3:08:343:08:36

of hard work and if people

judge me, then try a day.

3:08:363:08:42

Just try.

3:08:423:08:43

It's hard.

3:08:433:08:46

It's not easy and I think

I'm doing all right.

3:08:463:08:54

So do I, if I'm allowed to that

opinion!

3:08:553:08:58

Ballerina Laura Tye joins us now.

3:08:583:09:03

Thank you for joining us. You were

talking about the difficulties. And

3:09:033:09:07

presumably, physically, as a

ballerina, and as a mum, to go back,

3:09:073:09:14

you are really challenging yourself?

Yes, ballet by itself is such a

3:09:143:09:19

demanding career. You have to be so

dedicated and you train from such a

3:09:193:09:23

young age, you don't really know

anything else. On the other hand,

3:09:233:09:28

motherhood, nothing prepares you for

how challenging batters, but at the

3:09:283:09:32

same time how rewarding. The two

things are very rewarding things in

3:09:323:09:40

my life and it is wonderful to bring

them together and capture them on

3:09:403:09:43

film.

When you found out you were

pregnant with your first child, did

3:09:433:09:46

you think career-wise, that is over?

When I found out I was pregnant all

3:09:463:09:51

sorts of things flashed through my

mind. Is this the end of my career,

3:09:513:09:56

can I juggle this? I will have to

train for something else while I am

3:09:563:10:00

on maternity leave. But I thought, I

have to work financially, I cannot

3:10:003:10:04

stay at home, that is not an option.

I thought I may as well give it a go

3:10:043:10:09

and do something I love.

How did

other people in the industry

3:10:093:10:16

respond?

I think they thought I was

crazy! It is always a shock when

3:10:163:10:22

someone says they will continue

their career as a ballet dancer.

You

3:10:223:10:27

have two little girls and presumably

they love having a mum who is a

3:10:273:10:32

ballet dancer.

Recently I have said

money is getting older, I might have

3:10:323:10:36

to get a different job and they say

no, please stay

3:10:363:10:49

no, please stay being a ballet

dancer.

What is it like when they

3:10:493:10:51

watch you?

Last year was the first

time they could come to the theatre

3:10:513:10:54

and watch me perform. It was hard

keeping the tears back.

We know how

3:10:543:10:58

physically demanding ballet dancing

is and the strain on the body, what

3:10:583:11:01

was it like coming back to that

after having the children?

I ended

3:11:013:11:06

up with an umbilical hernia. The

first time round I learned a lot.

3:11:063:11:12

You have to take it very slowly

because your bones soften when you

3:11:123:11:18

are pregnant. Your body goes through

a massive change and I think you

3:11:183:11:21

have to not put too much pressure on

yourself. The second time round I

3:11:213:11:26

took my time and did Pilates and a

lot of physical therapy.

The

3:11:263:11:34

documentary is called Balance, but I

don't know how to say it.

It is

3:11:343:11:39

written in French and it is a ballet

step which moves from side to side

3:11:393:11:47

which shows I was trying to juggle

and move from motherhood to a

3:11:473:11:54

career. I always call it Balance

because my French accent is not very

3:11:543:11:59

good!

3:11:593:12:04

good!

Are you managing to go back?

The key moment was when they were in

3:12:043:12:11

the audience. I did not want to have

a go at it and fail and miss out on

3:12:113:12:17

their growing up and not have

something to show and now I have the

3:12:173:12:21

pictures and the film as well to

show what I did and how hard I have

3:12:213:12:26

worked.

When you got pregnant at the

age of 28, you said you considered

3:12:263:12:32

it being the end of your ballet

career. Did you start to retrain and

3:12:323:12:36

do something else?

I was going to

learn Spanish but there is no time

3:12:363:12:40

when you are a new parent.

What

would you do if you were not a

3:12:403:12:45

ballerina?

I'm starting to think

about it now. I would like to break

3:12:453:12:48

down the barriers to the arts

because it is not accessible to

3:12:483:12:51

everybody. I would like to

3:12:513:13:03

bring it to the masses.

Darcey

Bussell went back after having her

3:13:053:13:07

children. Do you think you and her

are inspiring other young

3:13:073:13:09

ballerinas?

I hope so, we should not

have to choose. We have worked so

3:13:093:13:12

hard and I don't think such a

wonderful thing is becoming a parent

3:13:123:13:15

should not be the thing that stops

your career.

Can I say your posture

3:13:153:13:21

is very good! I slouch. I feel I

should sit up correctly.

3:13:213:13:26

It is wonderful to see. And the

documentary is winning prizes.

3:13:263:13:33

The documentary Balance

is available on Amazon Prime.

3:13:333:13:38

We just found out that BBC Breakfast

macro is 35 years old today. Let's

3:13:383:13:44

go and eat cake! Have a great day,

bye-bye.
