by heavily armed militants. | 0:00:15 | 0:00:18 | |
Five people were killed
but security forces | 0:00:18 | 0:00:20 | |
were able to free
more than 100 guests. | 0:00:20 | 0:00:28 | |

Thomas has the weather. Be prepared
for a bit of snow this morning. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:17 | |
Quite tricky on some of the roads.
The snows will not be the same | 0:01:17 | 0:01:26 | |
everywhere. More later. | 0:01:26 | 0:01:27 | |
Good morning, first our main story. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:28 | |
The authorities in Afghanistan say
a siege of a luxury hotel in Kabul | 0:01:28 | 0:01:32 | |
has come to an end,
more than twelve hours | 0:01:32 | 0:01:34 | |
after it was attacked by gunmen. | 0:01:34 | 0:01:36 | |
An interior ministry
spokesman said five civilians | 0:01:36 | 0:01:38 | |
including one foreigner were killed
at the Intercontinental Hotel, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:40 | |
along with all three attackers. | 0:01:40 | 0:01:42 | |
More than 100 people
have been rescued. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:43 | |
Andrew Plant reports. | 0:01:43 | 0:01:47 | |
The Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul,
at dawn on Sunday morning, | 0:01:47 | 0:01:50 | |
blackened and smoking
after an 11-hour siege that's seen | 0:01:50 | 0:01:58 | |
at least five people killed
and several more wounded. | 0:01:58 | 0:02:01 | |
The shooting started
after nightfall on Saturday, | 0:02:01 | 0:02:03 | |
several gunmen armed with grenades
and automatic weapons. | 0:02:03 | 0:02:05 | |
TRANSLATION: At first,
I heard some gunfire and then, | 0:02:05 | 0:02:07 | |
after 15 minutes, a worker
from the hotel approached and said | 0:02:07 | 0:02:10 | |
that suicide attackers
entered the hotel. | 0:02:10 | 0:02:12 | |
Security forces were fighting
the gunmen floor by floor | 0:02:12 | 0:02:15 | |
with reports of
hostages being taken. | 0:02:15 | 0:02:20 | |
We now know that around 100 guests
have been allowed to leave. | 0:02:20 | 0:02:23 | |
It's thought the security guards
at the entrance to the 5-storey | 0:02:23 | 0:02:26 | |
building are among those
who came under fire. | 0:02:26 | 0:02:29 | |
The Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul
is popular with foreign guests. | 0:02:29 | 0:02:31 | |
Situated on a hilltop a few
miles outside the city, | 0:02:31 | 0:02:34 | |
it has been the target
of an attack before, | 0:02:34 | 0:02:39 | |
in 2011, when 21 people died,
including nine attackers. | 0:02:39 | 0:02:42 | |
Security forces said two
of the gunmen had been shot | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
and killed, two more were thought
to be hiding in the building. | 0:02:46 | 0:02:49 | |
It is not yet clear
whether they are still on the loose. | 0:02:49 | 0:02:57 | |
The attack comes days after the US
embassy in Kabul issued a warning | 0:02:58 | 0:03:02 | |
about hotels in the city,
saying extremist groups could be | 0:03:02 | 0:03:05 | |
planning an attack, saying hotels
as well as public gatherings | 0:03:05 | 0:03:07 | |
could be potential targets. | 0:03:07 | 0:03:08 | |
Officials have not yet said
if all the guests and staff | 0:03:08 | 0:03:15 | |
With the procedures come to an end.
This is a shot in the centre of | 0:03:15 | 0:03:23 | |
Kabul. The Intercontinental Hotel.
This comes days after warning about | 0:03:23 | 0:03:31 | |
hotels in the city. An investigation
is under way to find how the | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
attackers were able to get access to
that hotel in the centre of Kabul | 0:03:36 | 0:03:40 | |
city.
The second time it has been hit. | 0:03:40 | 0:03:44 | |
There was an attack at hotel in
2011. | 0:03:44 | 0:03:46 | |
Large-scale recalls of dangerous
and faulty goods will be managed | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
by a new body from today. | 0:03:49 | 0:03:53 | |
'The Office for Product
Safety and Standards' | 0:03:53 | 0:03:55 | |
will ensure they're removed
from homes and shelves more quickly. | 0:03:55 | 0:03:57 | |
Our business correspondent
Joe Lynam reports. | 0:03:57 | 0:04:00 | |
In recent years, there have been
notable product recalls such as the | 0:04:00 | 0:04:05 | |
Samsung Galaxy Note and some
whirlpool tumble dryers. Now the | 0:04:05 | 0:04:09 | |
government hopes to accelerate the
time between recognising the problem | 0:04:09 | 0:04:12 | |
and removing the product from shops
and homes. The new 'The Office for | 0:04:12 | 0:04:18 | |
Product safety and Standards' will
primarily cover electrical white | 0:04:18 | 0:04:20 | |
goods like washing machines or
produce and will have a panel of | 0:04:20 | 0:04:24 | |
experts to decide whether a minor or
local issue requires a national | 0:04:24 | 0:04:27 | |
recall and will ensure that imported
EU goods will be properly checked | 0:04:27 | 0:04:31 | |
once the UK leaves next year. What
this new body will do is ensure the | 0:04:31 | 0:04:36 | |
know-how and technical expertise is
available to prevent any delays and | 0:04:36 | 0:04:41 | |
keep the public as safe as possible.
Hundreds of products are recalled in | 0:04:41 | 0:04:45 | |
Britain every year but this new
agency hopes to prevent these kinds | 0:04:45 | 0:04:48 | |
of incidents. | 0:04:48 | 0:04:57 | |
The future of the UKIP leader,
Henry Bolton will be up | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
for discussion when the party's
national executive holds | 0:05:00 | 0:05:02 | |
an emergency meeting later today. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:03 | |
There have been calls
for him to step down | 0:05:03 | 0:05:06 | |
after it was reported his girlfriend
had sent offensive texts, | 0:05:06 | 0:05:09 | |
including racist comments
about Prince Harry's fiance Meghan | 0:05:09 | 0:05:11 | |
Markle. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:11 | |
Let's talk to our political
correspondent, Emma Vardy. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
If he did go, this would be the
fourth leadership contest in two | 0:05:14 | 0:05:18 | |
years. This is a crunch moment in a
saga that has been playing out since | 0:05:18 | 0:05:23 | |
Christmas. Henry Bolte and has been
under pressure to step down ever | 0:05:23 | 0:05:26 | |
since his relationship hit the
headlines and those of offensive and | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
racist text messages were leaked to
the news papers. Henry Bolte and | 0:05:31 | 0:05:38 | |
says he wants to keep his job that
he was spotted in a bar just days | 0:05:38 | 0:05:47 | |
after with Jo Marney, after
declaring their relationship is | 0:05:47 | 0:05:50 | |
over. He says he has been supporting
her during death threats and said | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
that text messages that were leaked
did not represent her core beliefs. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
Nonetheless, Henry Bolte and has
lost the confidence of many people | 0:05:59 | 0:06:03 | |
in Ukip. It would have to go to a
vote of the wider party but he may | 0:06:03 | 0:06:10 | |
decide to step down and if he does,
is going to compound what's been a | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
pretty catastrophic yet the party.
Difficult time the party. We will | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
speak to Gerard Batten, the party's
Brexit spokesperson after eight | 0:06:20 | 0:06:24 | |
o'clock. | 0:06:24 | 0:06:26 | |
Turkey has warned that it
could deploy ground forces today | 0:06:26 | 0:06:28 | |
after launching air attacks
against Kurdish fighters in northern | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
Syria. | 0:06:31 | 0:06:31 | |
More than a hundred targets
were bombed in the Afrin region | 0:06:31 | 0:06:36 | |
with the Syrian Kurds backed
by the US, but Turkey | 0:06:36 | 0:06:39 | |
calls them terrorists. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:40 | |
People with hidden disabilities
in England could soon be entitled | 0:06:40 | 0:06:42 | |
to blue badge permits
for free parking. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
The Department for
Transport said the change | 0:06:44 | 0:06:46 | |
would make it easier for those
with conditions such as autism | 0:06:46 | 0:06:49 | |
and dementia to access
services they needed. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:51 | |
Helena Lee has this report. | 0:06:51 | 0:06:58 | |
The blue badge scheme was first
introduced in England in the 1970s. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:05 | |
Today, around 2.4 million people
with disabilities have one. It | 0:07:05 | 0:07:08 | |
allows them to park free of charge
on roads and normally without time | 0:07:08 | 0:07:13 | |
limits. The government is now
proposing to extend the scheme. It | 0:07:13 | 0:07:18 | |
wants people with disabilities and
conditions like autism and dementia | 0:07:18 | 0:07:23 | |
to be able to qualify for a blue
badge so they too can enjoy the | 0:07:23 | 0:07:27 | |
freedom to get out where and when
they want. The Department for | 0:07:27 | 0:07:33 | |
Transport says only some councils
recognise hidden disabilities under | 0:07:33 | 0:07:37 | |
the current scheme because they
interpret the existing rules | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
differently. The proposals would be
the biggest change to the scheme | 0:07:40 | 0:07:44 | |
since it was first introduced. The
plans will now go through in a tight | 0:07:44 | 0:07:51 | |
public consultation. Helena Lee, BBC

They say a man's home is his castle,
and for one artist in Brazil | 0:07:56 | 0:07:59 | |
it really is. | 0:07:59 | 0:08:00 | |
Marcio Matolias has lived
in a sandcastle for 22 years | 0:08:00 | 0:08:03 | |
in an upmarket neighbourhood
of Rio De Janeiro. | 0:08:03 | 0:08:07 | |
It isn't huge inside,
but he has everything he needs. | 0:08:07 | 0:08:10 | |
Marcio says if there is heavy rain
he just sculpts himself | 0:08:10 | 0:08:13 | |
a new sandcastle. | 0:08:13 | 0:08:14 | |
He compares his style
to Niemeyer and Gaudi, | 0:08:14 | 0:08:16 | |
and makes money from donations
and runs a book exchange. | 0:08:16 | 0:08:24 | |
I am glad he has built it far enough
back from the tide. | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
You're on that beach, won't you?
Yes. You see these incredible | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
sandcastles and they truly are works
of art. And that's pretty | 0:08:41 | 0:08:44 | |
phenomenal. Let's just take a look
at the papers this morning. Start | 0:08:44 | 0:08:51 | |
with the Sunday Telegraph. | 0:08:51 | 0:08:57 | |
with the Sunday Telegraph. Having
this headline about Boris Johnson. | 0:08:57 | 0:09:03 | |
Ties for America are vital.
Extraordinary economic relationship. | 0:09:03 | 0:09:11 | |
The Sunday Times. After 50 -- up to
50 Labour MPs on the deselection hit | 0:09:11 | 0:09:18 | |
list. Moderate Labour MPs have been
warned that Jeremy Corbyn allies | 0:09:18 | 0:09:26 | |
want centrist candidates replaced
with more left-leaning ones. And the | 0:09:26 | 0:09:34 | |
Observer is talking about Theresa
May's government planning to | 0:09:34 | 0:09:39 | |
announce irresponsible company
bosses who fail to protect workers | 0:09:39 | 0:09:43 | |
pensions will be hit by huge fines,
coming in the way of the collapse of | 0:09:43 | 0:09:50 | |
Carillion, of course, and the fact
that 20,000 members of the company | 0:09:50 | 0:09:54 | |
are expected to face huge cuts to
their retirement funds. The Sunday | 0:09:54 | 0:09:58 | |
Express, Brexit. Demands that
Theresa May to end free movement the | 0:09:58 | 0:10:06 | |
second we leave the European Union
on March 29 next year. They also say | 0:10:06 | 0:10:11 | |
inside that they want the transition
period to finish much sooner than | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
2021. It will probably finish after
a year if they had their way. Let us | 0:10:15 | 0:10:23 | |
catch up with the weather. He was
Thomas. | 0:10:23 | 0:10:30 | |
A cold morning? Yes, it is. Is the
coldest night of the winter so far | 0:10:30 | 0:10:37 | |
in Scotland, -13 degrees, really
cold but the contrast across the UK | 0:10:37 | 0:10:41 | |
where it is mild and colder are huge
at the moment and that is leading to | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
ice and snow, a battleground between
the cold in the north and mild in | 0:10:46 | 0:10:51 | |
the south. Quite tricky to some of
us. If you are happening to travel | 0:10:51 | 0:10:58 | |
this morning. This is what it looks
like around nine o'clock. By this | 0:10:58 | 0:11:03 | |
stage, I think it's starting to turn
to rain across Northern Ireland and | 0:11:03 | 0:11:07 | |
has been snowing here very heavily
in the last few hours or so. But | 0:11:07 | 0:11:11 | |
look at that. We've got some snow
across mostly the hills of Wales, | 0:11:11 | 0:11:16 | |
certainly through the Midlands which
cuts off for the snow around here | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
somewhere. Southern Wales through
Bristol down into central and | 0:11:21 | 0:11:25 | |
southern parts of England and
probably the M4 northwards. If we | 0:11:25 | 0:11:30 | |
are north of that, some sleet and
snow falling today. How much? | 0:11:30 | 0:11:35 | |
Probably covering some areas but the
amounts that will get on the ground | 0:11:35 | 0:11:45 | |
will vary greatly, particularly
across Scotland, up to ten | 0:11:45 | 0:11:48 | |
centimetres and some freezing rain
so really messy. But this is only | 0:11:48 | 0:11:53 | |
temporary because that weather front
is out of the way through this | 0:11:53 | 0:11:57 | |
evening and overnight and you start
getting much milder row coming off | 0:11:57 | 0:12:00 | |
the Atlantic. It is going to snow
today. A bitterly cold day but this | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
is only temporary through this
afternoon. Tomorrow, a completely | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
different story. We have much milder
row coming off the Atlantic. The | 0:12:09 | 0:12:13 | |
difference between today and
tomorrow across the UK will be | 0:12:13 | 0:12:18 | |
absolutely huge and in fact as we
head into Monday in the week ahead, | 0:12:18 | 0:12:22 | |
we start to see milder air pushing
in the Atlantic. That means things | 0:12:22 | 0:12:27 | |
are going to turn quite a bit
milder. The temperatures around 13 | 0:12:27 | 0:12:31 | |
degrees in London. Much milder as
well. There is some snow on the way | 0:12:31 | 0:12:38 | |
this morning. There will be a
covering. Some of us no doubt will | 0:12:38 | 0:12:43 | |
go out and build a snowman but stay
careful on the roads and by | 0:12:43 | 0:12:48 | |
tomorrow, a lot of it will be gone.
How are we supposed to dress that? | 0:12:48 | 0:12:54 | |
Winter wardrobe, summer wardrobe.
Don't ask me, I'm just the reporter. | 0:12:54 | 0:12:59 | |
We want everything from you Thomas.
It is set to be cold today. | 0:12:59 | 0:13:05 | |
It was cold on the way in. | 0:13:05 | 0:13:08 | |
The bitter blame game over
the government shutdown | 0:13:08 | 0:13:10 | |
in the United States
could be over today. | 0:13:10 | 0:13:12 | |
The Senate's will be back in session
to try and break the impasse | 0:13:12 | 0:13:15 | |
on spending legislation. | 0:13:15 | 0:13:16 | |
It all started when a bill to fund
the federal government | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
did not get the number of votes it
needed by the deadline | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
of midnight on Friday. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:24 | |
Joining us now from Washington DC,
is David Smith, who's the Washington | 0:13:24 | 0:13:27 | |
bureau chief for
The Guardian newspaper. | 0:13:27 | 0:13:28 | |
David, good morning. For those of us
who want familiar with the workings | 0:13:28 | 0:13:36 | |
of the Federal Government, what is
this shutdown about? It's a | 0:13:36 | 0:13:40 | |
fundamental failure for agreement on
the government's Budget, where it | 0:13:40 | 0:13:47 | |
will allocate its money, and without
Republicans and Democrats in the | 0:13:47 | 0:13:52 | |
house and the Senate reaching an
agreement, there is and money for | 0:13:52 | 0:14:00 | |
government functions, some
government agencies. It is not | 0:14:00 | 0:14:06 | |
literally mean that absolutely
everything stops. I was out and | 0:14:06 | 0:14:09 | |
about in Washington today. Some
things were going on as normal. | 0:14:09 | 0:14:13 | |
Essential services such as the
military and the police carry on. | 0:14:13 | 0:14:19 | |
But to give you one example, this
particular shutdown, national parks | 0:14:19 | 0:14:25 | |
would also remain open but litter
would not be collected, toilets | 0:14:25 | 0:14:29 | |
would not be cleaned. For tourists
in New York, the Statue of Liberty | 0:14:29 | 0:14:36 | |
has closed down. Also, around
800,000 federal workers who might | 0:14:36 | 0:14:42 | |
not turn up on Monday, it is
ultimately very costly to the | 0:14:42 | 0:14:47 | |
government until the Budget is
agreed upon. And it is costly | 0:14:47 | 0:14:52 | |
because time is money, the clock is
ticking. What is the latest you are | 0:14:52 | 0:14:57 | |
hearing? Hour by hour, it's been
changing on Capitol Hill. At one | 0:14:57 | 0:15:06 | |
point, things seemed quite hopeful
that an agreement would be reached, | 0:15:06 | 0:15:13 | |
perhaps before the end of the
weekend, however those hopes have | 0:15:13 | 0:15:17 | |
gone backwards again. Really, the
Republicans and the Democrats, they | 0:15:17 | 0:15:23 | |
are digging in their heels, blaming
one another for this impasse and | 0:15:23 | 0:15:30 | |
nobody seems willing to give an inch
and as you can imagine, it's | 0:15:30 | 0:15:35 | |
overshadowed the first anniversary
of Donald Trump's inauguration. How | 0:15:35 | 0:15:40 | |
significant you think it is a Trump
administration and the Donald Trump? | 0:15:40 | 0:15:49 | |
It is terrible timing that he marks
one year in office with the | 0:15:49 | 0:15:54 | |
government shutdown. The Democrats,
unsurprisingly, have been very quick | 0:15:54 | 0:16:02 | |
to blame him for that, pointing to
remark he made a while ago saying | 0:16:02 | 0:16:07 | |
that what this government needs is a
good shot down. -- shut down. The | 0:16:07 | 0:16:13 | |
infamous meeting at the White House
about ten days ago where he used | 0:16:13 | 0:16:18 | |
some very derogatory language about
immigrants from Haiti and Africa, | 0:16:18 | 0:16:21 | |
has come back to haunt him. It's
from that moment that we saw a | 0:16:21 | 0:16:27 | |
downward spiral in the negotiations
and bitterness on both sides. It | 0:16:27 | 0:16:33 | |
really has undermined what he would
like to see as his unique selling | 0:16:33 | 0:16:38 | |
point which is a businessman and
dealmaker. This was one deal he | 0:16:38 | 0:16:45 | |
spectacularly failed to pull off.
David, is a deal imminent? No, not | 0:16:45 | 0:16:53 | |
particularly. I think they will get
there eventually, as they always do. | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
Right now, it's hard to see who is
going to blink first on this. I | 0:16:57 | 0:17:03 | |
suspect it will depend on pressure
from the public, which ever party | 0:17:03 | 0:17:09 | |
thinks it's losing the of public
opinion may have to budge. David | 0:17:09 | 0:17:17 | |
Smith, thank you. I have an alert
system on my Twitter feed, I can | 0:17:17 | 0:17:28 | |
tell you who he is blaming added the
Democrats, believe me. | 0:17:28 | 0:17:31 | |
We'll be back with
the headlines at 6.30, | 0:17:31 | 0:17:34 | |
but now it's time for
the Film Review with Jane Hill | 0:17:34 | 0:17:37 | |
and Mark Kermode. | 0:17:37 | 0:17:45 | |
A warm welcome to The Film
Review on BBC News. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:52 | |
To take us through this week's
cinema releases is Mark Kermode. | 0:17:52 | 0:17:55 | |
What have you been
watching this week? | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
Very exciting week. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:00 | |
We have The Post, starring
Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep. | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
Coco, the new animation from Pixar. | 0:18:04 | 0:18:08 | |
And The Commuter, the new Liam
Neeson action vehicle. | 0:18:08 | 0:18:14 | |
And The Post, it's about journalism. | 0:18:14 | 0:18:16 | |
I can't wait, I'm excited. | 0:18:16 | 0:18:17 | |
Did you like it? | 0:18:17 | 0:18:18 | |
I really did, it's a newsroom
thriller about the revelations | 0:18:18 | 0:18:24 | |
of the Pentagon Papers,
a report which basically said that | 0:18:24 | 0:18:27 | |
successive US administrations had
misled the country about the Vietnam | 0:18:27 | 0:18:30 | |
War. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:32 | |
The film is largely set in 1971. | 0:18:32 | 0:18:34 | |
Tom Hanks is Ben Bradley,
the editor of the Washington Post. | 0:18:34 | 0:18:37 | |
He is eager for a scoop. | 0:18:37 | 0:18:39 | |
Meryl Streep is Catherine 'Kate'
Graham, the publisher and proprieter | 0:18:39 | 0:18:45 | |
of the Washington Post. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:46 | |
It's going to the stock
exchange, so its finances | 0:18:46 | 0:18:49 | |
are slightly precarious. | 0:18:49 | 0:18:56 | |
After the White House gets
an injunction on the New York Times, | 0:18:56 | 0:19:00 | |
after they publish some
of the Pentagon Papers, | 0:19:00 | 0:19:02 | |
Ben Bradley wants to publish. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:03 | |
But Meryl Streep says, hang on,
there are reasons why we can't do | 0:19:03 | 0:19:07 | |
this, not least of all that it might
actually endanger the paper. | 0:19:07 | 0:19:10 | |
Here is a clip. | 0:19:10 | 0:19:11 | |
Do you have the papers? | 0:19:11 | 0:19:13 | |
Not yet. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:15 | |
Oh gosh, oh gosh, because you know
the position that would put me in. | 0:19:15 | 0:19:19 | |
You know, we have language
in the prospectus. | 0:19:19 | 0:19:27 | |
Yeah, I know, I know
that the backers can | 0:19:27 | 0:19:30 | |
change their mind. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:30 | |
I know what's at stake. | 0:19:30 | 0:19:34 | |
You know, the only couple I knew
that both Kennedy and LBJ wanted | 0:19:34 | 0:19:38 | |
to socialise with was
you and your husband, | 0:19:38 | 0:19:40 | |
and you own the damn paper. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:41 | |
It's just the way things worked. | 0:19:41 | 0:19:45 | |
Politicians and the press,
they trusted each other | 0:19:45 | 0:19:48 | |
so they could go to the same dinner
party, and drink cocktails and tell | 0:19:48 | 0:19:51 | |
jokes, while there was
a war raging in Vietnam. | 0:19:51 | 0:19:54 | |
I don't know what
we're talking about. | 0:19:54 | 0:19:56 | |
I'm not protecting Lyndon. | 0:19:56 | 0:19:57 | |
No, you've got the man
who commissioned the study, | 0:19:57 | 0:19:59 | |
he's one of about a dozen party
guests out on your... | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
And protecting the paper. | 0:20:02 | 0:20:09 | |
The thing I like about this
film is it has a number | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
of intertwining stories. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
One is the story of Kay Graham
finding her own voice. | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
She's surrounded by men
in boardrooms at the beginning. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:18 | |
She doesn't really speak,
she's slightly like a fish | 0:20:18 | 0:20:21 | |
out of water. | 0:20:21 | 0:20:21 | |
But during the course of this,
she has to step up to the mark | 0:20:21 | 0:20:25 | |
and decide what's
the right thing to do. | 0:20:25 | 0:20:27 | |
Second thing is, it runs
almost like a prequel | 0:20:27 | 0:20:30 | |
to All the President's Men. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:31 | |
The end of this film runs
right into the beginning | 0:20:31 | 0:20:34 | |
of All the President's Men,
which is a film that I was really, | 0:20:34 | 0:20:37 | |
really affected by in
the 1970s when it came out. | 0:20:37 | 0:20:40 | |
I was a kid when I saw
it, and loved it. | 0:20:40 | 0:20:43 | |
There's great period detail,
sequences in the printing presses | 0:20:43 | 0:20:46 | |
of the Washington Post. | 0:20:46 | 0:20:47 | |
We're looking at the hot metal
machinery, the old linotype | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
machines. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:51 | |
On a third level and most
importantly, it's a really | 0:20:51 | 0:20:54 | |
contemporary story. | 0:20:54 | 0:20:55 | |
Yes, it's set in 1971. | 0:20:55 | 0:20:57 | |
Yes, the period detail is great,
the performances are great, | 0:20:57 | 0:21:00 | |
Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks
are fantastic, the whole ensemble | 0:21:00 | 0:21:02 | |
cast is great. | 0:21:02 | 0:21:03 | |
But this is a really
contemporary story about, | 0:21:03 | 0:21:05 | |
in this particular case, a corrupt
president in the White House | 0:21:05 | 0:21:08 | |
attempting to stop the press
from expressing you know, | 0:21:08 | 0:21:11 | |
the right of free speech. | 0:21:11 | 0:21:12 | |
And you look at that,
and you look at what's happening | 0:21:12 | 0:21:15 | |
today, in which the press is under
attack, all the stuff | 0:21:15 | 0:21:18 | |
about fake news. | 0:21:18 | 0:21:19 | |
Recently we had the so-called
Fake News Awards. | 0:21:19 | 0:21:23 | |
It's a film almost like a call
to arms for the press, | 0:21:23 | 0:21:26 | |
the independent press. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:27 | |
From a free press,
to truth to power. | 0:21:27 | 0:21:29 | |
And it's interesting that
what Spielberg has done is to take | 0:21:29 | 0:21:32 | |
a period piece and tell
the story straight, you know, | 0:21:32 | 0:21:35 | |
it's not twisted in any way at all,
and tell it in a way which makes it | 0:21:35 | 0:21:39 | |
seem urgently contemporary,
in terms of its gender politics, | 0:21:39 | 0:21:42 | |
in terms of its newspaper politics,
in terms of the way it talks | 0:21:42 | 0:21:45 | |
about the necessity for a free
speech and good reporting, | 0:21:45 | 0:21:48 | |
good factual reporting,
to keep check on authorities. | 0:21:48 | 0:21:50 | |
I mean, I - I've seen the film twice
now, and would happily go back | 0:21:50 | 0:21:54 | |
and see it a third time. | 0:21:54 | 0:21:56 | |
And you don't need to be
interested in journalism, | 0:21:56 | 0:21:58 | |
or in the issues you've just raised,
to like it as a film? | 0:21:58 | 0:22:02 | |
I think that helps, and I certainly
know some people who aren't | 0:22:02 | 0:22:05 | |
interested in those things,
and aren't interested in that | 0:22:05 | 0:22:08 | |
particular bit of history,
who have said, why would you go | 0:22:08 | 0:22:11 | |
and see it? | 0:22:11 | 0:22:11 | |
You see it because it is a personal
drama about those two characters, | 0:22:11 | 0:22:15 | |
but also something that leads
you very much by the hand. | 0:22:15 | 0:22:18 | |
It does assume from the beginning
you might not know this stuff, | 0:22:18 | 0:22:21 | |
so it gives you a primer. | 0:22:21 | 0:22:23 | |
It starts you in a battlefield,
and it leads you and tells | 0:22:23 | 0:22:26 | |
you all you need to know. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:28 | |
I would encourage anyone to go
and see it, because I think it's | 0:22:28 | 0:22:31 | |
a film that is timely,
although it is a period piece. | 0:22:31 | 0:22:34 | |
And I think you don't have to be
specifically interested in that war | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
or the Pentagon Papers or journalism
to find it a gripping drama. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:41 | |
And the performances are just great. | 0:22:41 | 0:22:43 | |
OK, fantastic. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:43 | |
An animated film
is your second choice. | 0:22:43 | 0:22:45 | |
And a really good one, Coco,
the new film from Pixar, | 0:22:45 | 0:22:48 | |
set at the Mexican Day
of the Dead festivities. | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
So 12-year-old Miguel
longs to be a musician, | 0:22:51 | 0:22:53 | |
but his family have banned music,
because his great-grandfather years | 0:22:53 | 0:22:56 | |
ago chose music over family. | 0:22:56 | 0:22:57 | |
So therefore there was no more music
in the family anymore. | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
On the magical Day of the Dead,
Fate takes a hand in the land | 0:23:00 | 0:23:04 | |
of the dead. | 0:23:04 | 0:23:04 | |
I thought this was terrifically
entertaining, and also very, | 0:23:04 | 0:23:07 | |
very touching fare. | 0:23:07 | 0:23:08 | |
On the one hand, it has lovely
animation and slapstick sequences, | 0:23:08 | 0:23:11 | |
and all the sort of stuff you would
expect from a Pixar vehicle. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:14 | |
More importantly, it has
great songs, great music. | 0:23:14 | 0:23:16 | |
But it's dealing with some very
difficult subjects - | 0:23:16 | 0:23:19 | |
it's dealing with dementia,
it's dealing with memory, | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
it's dealing with death and life,
it's dealing with loss. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:24 | |
It's dealing with the way people
live on, as long as they live | 0:23:24 | 0:23:27 | |
on in our memory. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:28 | |
And also the way songs and music
will linger in our minds sometimes, | 0:23:28 | 0:23:32 | |
you know, if anybody has had any
experience of people with dementia, | 0:23:32 | 0:23:35 | |
music somehow cuts through. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
Cuts through, doesn't it? | 0:23:38 | 0:23:41 | |
There are moments that will make
you weep, moments that | 0:23:41 | 0:23:43 | |
will make you laugh. | 0:23:43 | 0:23:44 | |
In the end, it'll make you cheer. | 0:23:44 | 0:23:47 | |
If you liked this film,
you see it and you like it, | 0:23:47 | 0:23:50 | |
and I really think you will do,
there's another film from a few | 0:23:50 | 0:23:54 | |
years ago, from 2014,
called Book of Life, | 0:23:54 | 0:23:56 | |
which got overlooked. | 0:23:56 | 0:23:58 | |
It does have thematic depth. | 0:23:58 | 0:23:59 | |
They make a nice companion. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Go and get Book of Life on DVD,
because it's a different film, | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
but there are great similarities
and they are both terrific. | 0:24:04 | 0:24:07 | |
OK, The Commuter. | 0:24:07 | 0:24:08 | |
The premise of the story
is quite gripping. | 0:24:08 | 0:24:16 | |
The Commuter - does it deliver? | 0:24:16 | 0:24:17 | |
Liam Neeson is a ex-cop working
as an insurance salesman. | 0:24:17 | 0:24:22 | |
The beginning of the film,
he loses his job, he's | 0:24:22 | 0:24:25 | |
doing his commute. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:25 | |
He needs money because he has to pay
for his kids' tuition. | 0:24:25 | 0:24:33 | |
Suddenly, Vera Farmiga turns up
and says, I want you to find | 0:24:33 | 0:24:36 | |
someone for me. | 0:24:36 | 0:24:37 | |
I can't tell you who they are,
or what they look like, | 0:24:37 | 0:24:40 | |
but if you do it there
will be a reward. | 0:24:40 | 0:24:43 | |
Here's a clip. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:43 | |
Someone on this train
does not belong. | 0:24:43 | 0:24:45 | |
All you have to do is find them. | 0:24:45 | 0:24:47 | |
That's it. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:48 | |
This person is carrying a bag. | 0:24:48 | 0:24:50 | |
You don't know what it looks like,
but inside that bag is something | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
they have stolen. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:55 | |
This person goes by
the name of Prynne. | 0:24:55 | 0:24:58 | |
It's not a real name. | 0:24:58 | 0:24:59 | |
They will be on this
train until Coldspring. | 0:24:59 | 0:25:02 | |
You find them, you find the bag,
the $100,000 is yours. | 0:25:02 | 0:25:06 | |
Don't leave the train
before finding the bag. | 0:25:06 | 0:25:14 | |
Don't tell anyone about this offer. | 0:25:14 | 0:25:16 | |
Wait a minute, wait a minute. | 0:25:16 | 0:25:17 | |
Simple. | 0:25:17 | 0:25:18 | |
I thought this was hypothetical. | 0:25:18 | 0:25:20 | |
It's just a little thing. | 0:25:20 | 0:25:24 | |
Shouldn't be too hard for an ex-cop. | 0:25:24 | 0:25:26 | |
How did you know? | 0:25:26 | 0:25:27 | |
Oh, that's me. | 0:25:27 | 0:25:28 | |
You're being serious, right? | 0:25:28 | 0:25:31 | |
You have until next stop to decide. | 0:25:31 | 0:25:33 | |
What kind of person are you? | 0:25:33 | 0:25:38 | |
OK, so it's intriguing setup. | 0:25:38 | 0:25:39 | |
They're strangers on a train. | 0:25:39 | 0:25:40 | |
She has this - find the person,
can't tell you why, | 0:25:40 | 0:25:43 | |
there will be reward. | 0:25:43 | 0:25:44 | |
Hitchcock thrillers -
you set up those rules. | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
The rules have to make sense,
and you have to obey the rules. | 0:25:48 | 0:25:51 | |
What happens, it has
an interesting premise and setup, | 0:25:51 | 0:25:54 | |
and 20 minutes in it goes,
none of this makes sense, | 0:25:54 | 0:25:57 | |
and actually, we don't care. | 0:25:57 | 0:25:58 | |
It throws the rules out the window. | 0:25:58 | 0:26:00 | |
Why would he do it? | 0:26:00 | 0:26:02 | |
That is thrown out. | 0:26:02 | 0:26:03 | |
And it just gets back
into Liam Neeson walking around | 0:26:03 | 0:26:05 | |
the train punching people. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:06 | |
And the most frustrating thing
is that when you see that clip, | 0:26:06 | 0:26:10 | |
you think it's intriguing. | 0:26:10 | 0:26:11 | |
What's going on? | 0:26:11 | 0:26:13 | |
It's literally 20 minutes in,
the film goes, I don't care. | 0:26:13 | 0:26:16 | |
I don't think these rules
add up to anything. | 0:26:16 | 0:26:19 | |
The whole scenario doesn't make a... | 0:26:19 | 0:26:20 | |
Shall we just have him
punching somebody? | 0:26:20 | 0:26:22 | |
And you get the first punching
sequence, and then you go, | 0:26:22 | 0:26:25 | |
OK, fine, it is Taken on a train. | 0:26:25 | 0:26:32 | |
It's that film you've seen
all those times before, | 0:26:32 | 0:26:35 | |
except on a train. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:36 | |
It reminds you, what happened
to that really interesting idea | 0:26:36 | 0:26:38 | |
you threw out the window? | 0:26:38 | 0:26:43 | |
OK, fine, moving swiftly on. | 0:26:43 | 0:26:48 | |
Clearly not a patch on the film
of the week, Three Billboards, | 0:26:48 | 0:26:51 | |
which I have not... | 0:26:51 | 0:26:52 | |
I've thought about it every
single day since I saw it, | 0:26:52 | 0:26:55 | |
which is interesting in itself. | 0:26:55 | 0:26:57 | |
Brilliant performance
by Frances McDormand, | 0:26:57 | 0:27:02 | |
Who has a strong chance of winning
the Best Actress Oscar. | 0:27:02 | 0:27:05 | |
Martin McDonagh, who wrote
and directed, has done | 0:27:05 | 0:27:07 | |
a really terrific job. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:08 | |
Made a tragicomedy that is comic
and genuinely tragic. | 0:27:08 | 0:27:10 | |
I know it is divisive. | 0:27:10 | 0:27:14 | |
Some take against it,
and don't get on at all. | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
But I laughed in the bits that
are funny, but I also cried, | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
because I think it really deals
with tragedy, it really | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
deals with loss. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:24 | |
It's really well filmed. | 0:27:24 | 0:27:25 | |
There are moments in it that
are almost transcendent. | 0:27:25 | 0:27:32 | |
They are about, like with
Coco, life and death. | 0:27:32 | 0:27:35 | |
The Chaucerian ear for obscenity
that Martin McDonagh has rings true. | 0:27:35 | 0:27:38 | |
Did you love it? | 0:27:38 | 0:27:39 | |
With hindsight, I loved it,
I wasn't sure as I was watching, | 0:27:39 | 0:27:42 | |
but I think the script is terrific,
and it's really stayed with me | 0:27:42 | 0:27:46 | |
in a positive way. | 0:27:46 | 0:27:47 | |
Don't take somebody
who doesn't like swearing. | 0:27:47 | 0:27:49 | |
That goes without saying. | 0:27:49 | 0:27:50 | |
That's the only caveat, isn't it,
it's a very striking film. | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
For DVD? | 0:27:53 | 0:27:56 | |
So I Am Not a Witch. | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
It turned out in the Outstanding
Debut category at the Baftas. | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
A satirical, surreal tale of a young
girl who is given the chance | 0:28:01 | 0:28:05 | |
to accept life as a witch,
or turn into a goat. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:08 | |
The director has done
a brilliant job. | 0:28:08 | 0:28:15 | |
I thought it was a really remarkable
feature, something which, | 0:28:15 | 0:28:18 | |
yes, it's funny, yes,
it's satirical, but it's also | 0:28:18 | 0:28:20 | |
about misogyny and magic. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:21 | |
One of those films, again,
sometimes you're watching it | 0:28:21 | 0:28:24 | |
and don't know whether to laugh
or cry, and end up doing both. | 0:28:24 | 0:28:27 | |
It's really well worth checking out. | 0:28:27 | 0:28:29 | |
Thank you, Mark. | 0:28:29 | 0:28:30 | |
A really, really intriguing week. | 0:28:30 | 0:28:33 | |
And many more like that to come,
because we're building up | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |

Plenty to come. | 0:28:37 | 0:28:38 | |

Hello, this is Breakfast
with Christian Fraser | 0:30:09 | 0:30:11 | |
and Babita Sharma. | 0:30:11 | 0:30:15 | |
Here's a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:23 | |
Afghan security forces say the siege
of a luxury hotel in Kabul has come | 0:30:23 | 0:30:27 | |
to an end more than 12 hours after
it was attacked by heavily armed | 0:30:27 | 0:30:31 | |
militants. Five civilians were
killed at the Intercontinental | 0:30:31 | 0:30:37 | |
Hotel. More than 100 people
including 16 foreigners have been | 0:30:37 | 0:30:41 | |
rescued. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:41 | |
Let's now see the scene
live in Kabul. | 0:30:41 | 0:30:43 | |
You can see the Intercontinental
Hotel there in the background, | 0:30:43 | 0:30:46 | |
where security services have now
brought that 12 hour seige | 0:30:46 | 0:30:48 | |
to an end. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:49 | |
The smokers stopped but this went on
for 12 hours. There are some reports | 0:30:49 | 0:30:54 | |
that the attackers managed to get
through the backdoor. We understand | 0:30:54 | 0:30:57 | |
the siege is over. There will a huge
investigation into exactly what | 0:30:57 | 0:31:02 | |
happened at the hotel and how the
attackers managed to gain access. | 0:31:02 | 0:31:16 | |
A new body for product recall is has
been set up called the fice for | 0:31:22 | 0:31:29 | |
Product safety and Standards, and it
will take over the monitoring of | 0:31:29 | 0:31:32 | |
goods imported from the EU after
Brexit. | 0:31:32 | 0:31:36 | |
Ukip's National Executive Committee
will meet discussing the controversy | 0:31:36 | 0:31:40 | |
surrounding the party's leader,
Henry Bolton. He faced calls to step | 0:31:40 | 0:31:47 | |
down after it was revealed his
girlfriend sent a series of | 0:31:47 | 0:31:52 | |
offensive texts including racist
messages about Prince Harry's | 0:31:52 | 0:31:55 | |
girlfriend, Meghan Markle. | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
More than 100 targets were bombed in
the Afrin reason -- region. A fresh | 0:31:59 | 0:32:10 | |
attempt to break the deadlock which
has led to the shutdown of parts of | 0:32:10 | 0:32:14 | |
the US government. A fresh vote is
set to take place in the Senate. | 0:32:14 | 0:32:24 | |
Democrats say Donald Trump blocked
the deal but the | 0:32:24 | 0:32:29 | |
claim has been denied by the White
House. People with hidden | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
disabilities in England could soon
be entitled to blue badge permits | 0:32:32 | 0:32:36 | |
for free parking. The Department of
Transport said the change would make | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
it easier for those with conditions
such as autism and dementia to | 0:32:40 | 0:32:44 | |
access services they needed. The
proposals would be the biggest | 0:32:44 | 0:32:48 | |
change to the blue badge scheme
since it was first introduced in | 0:32:48 | 0:32:51 | |
1970. | 0:32:51 | 0:32:53 | |
They say a man's home is his castle
and the one artist in Brazil, it | 0:32:53 | 0:32:58 | |
really is. He has lived in a San
Castleford 22 years in an upmarket | 0:32:58 | 0:33:07 | |
neighbourhood of Rio de Janeiro. It
is a very big inside but it has | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
everything you could possibly think
of. He says if there is rain, he can | 0:33:11 | 0:33:15 | |
sculpt himself a brand-new
sandcastle. Impaired his style to | 0:33:15 | 0:33:21 | |
Gaudi and runs a book exchange. He
has the weather for it but running | 0:33:21 | 0:33:26 | |
repairs would take a ball his time. | 0:33:26 | 0:33:28 | |
The view is not bad though. JJ is
here with the sport. A busy day in | 0:33:28 | 0:33:37 | |
Australia?
Certainly. Cricket and tennis. The | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
British number two, Kyle Edmund.
He's been doing very well in the | 0:33:40 | 0:33:47 | |
competition so far. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:48 | |
Yes let's start with tennis
because Kyle Edmund is attempting | 0:33:48 | 0:33:50 | |
to reach a Grand Slam quarter
final for the first time. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:53 | |
Britain's number two has already
seen off the eleventh seed | 0:33:53 | 0:33:56 | |
Kevin Anderson and dealt with some
incredibly hot conditions | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
in Melbourne on his way
to the last sixteen. | 0:33:58 | 0:34:02 | |
It's much cooler today,
just 26 degrees. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:06 | |
But the battle is just as intense
against Andreas Seppi. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:09 | |
Edmund is 26 places
above the Italian in the world | 0:34:09 | 0:34:11 | |
rankings, although you wouldn't know
that from watching so far as it's | 0:34:11 | 0:34:15 | |
been incredibly tight. | 0:34:15 | 0:34:22 | |
England's cricketers can
clinch their one day series | 0:34:22 | 0:34:24 | |
with victory over Australia
in the third one day | 0:34:24 | 0:34:26 | |
international in Sydney. | 0:34:26 | 0:34:27 | |
Australia won the toss
and put England into bat. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:33 | |
They've not had an easy
time at the crease. | 0:34:33 | 0:34:37 | |
Six wickets have fallen,
captain Owen Morgan out for 41 // | 0:34:37 | 0:34:40 | |
and Moeen Ali didn't last much
longer after replacing him. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:45 | |
Gone for just six. | 0:34:45 | 0:34:47 | |
Jos Buttler is there and keeping
England ticking over. | 0:34:47 | 0:34:49 | |
He's just got his half century
in the last few minutes. | 0:34:49 | 0:34:54 | |
England 201/6 with
ten overs to play. | 0:34:54 | 0:35:02 | |
Alexis Sanchez is on the verge
of joining Manchester United | 0:35:08 | 0:35:10 | |
from Arsenal, after United
midfielder Henrikh Mkhitaryan agreed | 0:35:10 | 0:35:12 | |
to be part of a direct swap. | 0:35:12 | 0:35:14 | |
The players will both
have their medicals today. | 0:35:14 | 0:35:17 | |
Mkhitaryan's paperwork for his
transfer was completed yesterday. | 0:35:17 | 0:35:19 | |
The length of the Armenian's
contract at Arsenal, | 0:35:19 | 0:35:21 | |
and his salary, is undisclosed. | 0:35:21 | 0:35:22 | |
Sanchez missed Arsenal's 4-1
win over Crystal Palace | 0:35:22 | 0:35:24 | |
because he was travelling
to Manchester. | 0:35:24 | 0:35:32 | |
The Premier League paid
tribute to Cyrille Regis, | 0:35:36 | 0:35:38 | |
with fans across the country taking
time to remember the former England | 0:35:38 | 0:35:41 | |
striker, who died last week. | 0:35:41 | 0:35:42 | |
On the field, there were few
surprises with those fighting | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
for a top four finich all winning,
as Drew Savage reports. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:53 | |
Before the action, time for
reflection. Football took a minute | 0:35:56 | 0:36:00 | |
to celebrate the life of West Brom
commentary and England striker | 0:36:00 | 0:36:05 | |
Cyrille Regis who died this week at
the age of 59. And then, business as | 0:36:05 | 0:36:10 | |
usual. Manchester City took another
step towards the Premier league | 0:36:10 | 0:36:15 | |
title with scorer Sergio Aguerro at
it again. Last week's game against | 0:36:15 | 0:36:23 | |
Liverpool a distant memory. Beaten
3-1. It is so important because we | 0:36:23 | 0:36:30 | |
need goals and we score in the past
and present and we will score the | 0:36:30 | 0:36:35 | |
future. It is an important finish.
City are still 12 points ahead of | 0:36:35 | 0:36:40 | |
Manchester United. Family had two on
target. | 0:36:40 | 0:36:48 | |
target. Lukaku put on the hard
yards. Martial put it away. That | 0:36:48 | 0:36:52 | |
puts the site in second place,
points ahead of Chelsea. They | 0:36:52 | 0:36:56 | |
started with five draws and struggle
to goals. In Brighton, that was no | 0:36:56 | 0:37:00 | |
longer a problem. There is a lovely
flow about Chelsea here, absolutely | 0:37:00 | 0:37:05 | |
sensational, what a wonderful goal.
A great afternoon for Hazard, he | 0:37:05 | 0:37:14 | |
scored to make himself and made this
young man's day. Arsenal reacted to | 0:37:14 | 0:37:19 | |
last week's lost the Bournemouth by
destroying Crystal Palace. Goals in | 0:37:19 | 0:37:24 | |
the first few minutes although there
are a few -- our long way from | 0:37:24 | 0:37:29 | |
Champions League places. And Stoke
responded to their new manager with | 0:37:29 | 0:37:32 | |
their first win in months. It means
they are out of the relegation zone. | 0:37:32 | 0:37:41 | |
Elsewhere, Leicester are up
to seventh after beating Watford. | 0:37:41 | 0:37:44 | |
Everton versus West Brom
and West Ham versus Bournemouth | 0:37:44 | 0:37:46 | |
both finished 1-all. | 0:37:46 | 0:37:47 | |
Southampton hosts Spurs later today. | 0:37:47 | 0:37:52 | |
Celtic cruised into the Scottish Cup
fifth round with a 5-nil thrashing | 0:37:52 | 0:37:55 | |
of Brechin City. | 0:37:55 | 0:37:57 | |
The Scottish Premiership
champions have had a 3-week | 0:37:57 | 0:37:59 | |
winter break, and looked
refreshed at Celtic Park. | 0:37:59 | 0:38:01 | |
Brendan Rodgers fielded a strong
team, despite his opponents | 0:38:01 | 0:38:03 | |
currently sitting bottom of Scottish
football's second tier, | 0:38:03 | 0:38:07 | |
without a league win all season. | 0:38:07 | 0:38:10 | |
Saracens are still in with a chance
of retaining their Champions Cup | 0:38:10 | 0:38:13 | |
trophy, after beating
Northampton Saints 62-14. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:16 | |
The defending champions had
to win against Saint | 0:38:16 | 0:38:21 | |
to have a chance of making
the quarterfinals. | 0:38:21 | 0:38:24 | |
But they still need other results
to go their way today | 0:38:24 | 0:38:27 | |
if they are to make the last eight. | 0:38:27 | 0:38:33 | |
Scarlets have no such worries. | 0:38:33 | 0:38:34 | |
They beat Toulon to become the first
Welsh side to qualify | 0:38:34 | 0:38:39 | |
for the quarter finals since 2012. | 0:38:39 | 0:38:41 | |
Bath and Ospreys are out though. | 0:38:41 | 0:38:43 | |
England's Ross Fisher is tied
for the lead heading into the final | 0:38:43 | 0:38:46 | |
day of the Abu Dhabi International,
with Rory McIlroy also | 0:38:46 | 0:38:49 | |
in contention. | 0:38:49 | 0:38:54 | |
McIlroy, who's only just
returned from injury, | 0:38:54 | 0:38:56 | |
is third - one shot off the pace,
after hitting eight birdies | 0:38:56 | 0:38:59 | |
in his third round. | 0:38:59 | 0:39:00 | |
Fisher produced some of his best
golf, hitting a round of seven under | 0:39:00 | 0:39:04 | |
par to take the lead -
and move to 17 under | 0:39:04 | 0:39:07 | |
for the tournament. | 0:39:07 | 0:39:10 | |
There will be a new name
on the Masters trophy this evening | 0:39:10 | 0:39:15 | |
with Mark Allen taking
on Kyren Wilson. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:17 | |
Neither player has reached
this stage before. | 0:39:17 | 0:39:19 | |
Allen knocked out two-time winner
John Higgins in his semi-final, | 0:39:19 | 0:39:21 | |
having already beaten
Ronnie O'Sullivan. | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
Wilson defeated world number three
Judd Trump to make his first | 0:39:23 | 0:39:26 | |
Masters final. | 0:39:26 | 0:39:33 | |
England won their opening match
of the Netball Quad Series | 0:39:33 | 0:39:36 | |
against New Zealand 64 points to 57
at the Copper Box Arena | 0:39:36 | 0:39:42 | |
in London last night. | 0:39:42 | 0:39:44 | |
The match had to go to extra
time after the score | 0:39:44 | 0:39:47 | |
was level at 49 points
all at the end of regulation time. | 0:39:47 | 0:39:50 | |
It's the fourth edition
of the round robin format series | 0:39:50 | 0:39:53 | |
between England, South Africa,
New Zealand and Australia, | 0:39:53 | 0:39:55 | |
with all the teams preparing
for April's Commonwealth Games | 0:39:55 | 0:39:57 | |
on the Gold Coast. | 0:39:57 | 0:40:03 | |
History was made at Ascot
yesterday as Un De So won | 0:40:03 | 0:40:06 | |
the Clarence House Chase
for a record third time. | 0:40:06 | 0:40:09 | |
In testing conditions,
jockey Paul Townend patiently guided | 0:40:09 | 0:40:11 | |
the favourite home. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:12 | |
It's the 8th grade one win
for Un De So who's trained | 0:40:12 | 0:40:15 | |
in Ireland by Wille Mullins. | 0:40:15 | 0:40:21 | |
How's this for impressive driving? | 0:40:21 | 0:40:22 | |
A mistake in heat one saw
British Bobsleigh duo Meesha McNeill | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
and Montell Douglas nearly come out
of their sled at the final World Cup | 0:40:25 | 0:40:29 | |
event before the Winter Olympics,
but thanks to McNeill's quick | 0:40:29 | 0:40:31 | |
reactions the pair
narrowly escaped crashing. | 0:40:31 | 0:40:36 | |
A walk in the countryside -
a simple activity that has inspired | 0:40:36 | 0:40:39 | |
Goodness me, that puts me on the
edge of my seat. It makes me feel | 0:40:43 | 0:40:49 | |
uncomfortable. We have lots of that
kind of thing to look forward to. | 0:40:49 | 0:40:52 | |
Indeed. Are we all excited for the
coming curling experts? Thank you | 0:40:52 | 0:40:59 | |
very much. | 0:40:59 | 0:41:01 | |
A walk in the countryside -
a simple activity that has inspired | 0:41:01 | 0:41:04 | |
artists, writers and even
the Prime Minister! | 0:41:04 | 0:41:06 | |
Now a 2004 trek taken by a group
of men has been turned into a play. | 0:41:06 | 0:41:10 | |
Black Men Walking covers a few miles
in the Peak District, | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
but 2,000 years of black history. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:15 | |
Ali Fortescue put on her walking
boots to meet the cast and the real | 0:41:15 | 0:41:19 | |
men they portray. | 0:41:19 | 0:41:27 | |
We are all. We are home. We are
home. 2000 years of black British | 0:41:31 | 0:41:41 | |
history told on a walk in the Peak
District. We walked England before | 0:41:41 | 0:41:47 | |
the English. It's a play inspired by
a real walking group and just days | 0:41:47 | 0:41:53 | |
before the first curtain call, the
cast of come back to where the story | 0:41:53 | 0:41:58 | |
started for a final run through and
to meet the man who inspired the | 0:41:58 | 0:42:02 | |
play. The story takes place on the
day when the walkers probably | 0:42:02 | 0:42:06 | |
shouldn't be going out because of
weather warnings and along the way, | 0:42:06 | 0:42:10 | |
they encounter over 500 years of
Black British history, characters | 0:42:10 | 0:42:15 | |
from the past emerging. Watch the
play is really looking at is how | 0:42:15 | 0:42:20 | |
long do you have to be in a place to
be part of it? How long do you have | 0:42:20 | 0:42:25 | |
to be in Yorkshire to become a
Yorkshireman? Today is all about | 0:42:25 | 0:42:28 | |
getting the actors into characters
so here we are in the Peak District | 0:42:28 | 0:42:32 | |
and this is of course all about
walking group so shall we do some | 0:42:32 | 0:42:36 | |
walking? We are joining the original
walkers on the route they have done | 0:42:36 | 0:42:40 | |
many times. It's a long stretch
along the Yorkshire Derbyshire | 0:42:40 | 0:42:45 | |
border, more than enough time to the
actors to get to know the walkers | 0:42:45 | 0:42:49 | |
and the story they will be bringing
to the stage. You are one of the | 0:42:49 | 0:42:53 | |
founding members of the original
group? Why was it started? Something | 0:42:53 | 0:42:58 | |
healthy, something that gave as an
opportunity to share and talk and | 0:42:58 | 0:43:02 | |
discuss with each other because it's
something that men don't do, | 0:43:02 | 0:43:06 | |
particularly men within perhaps the
black community and we felt that we | 0:43:06 | 0:43:10 | |
wanted to continue to develop our
friendship. And they have inspired a | 0:43:10 | 0:43:15 | |
play. It's amazing, to think that is
the case. So we are looking forward | 0:43:15 | 0:43:21 | |
to seeing what the play will do and
say about the group but also what it | 0:43:21 | 0:43:26 | |
has to say about living in Britain
today in the 21st century. There is | 0:43:26 | 0:43:30 | |
a real kind of misunderstanding that
the black community has just arrived | 0:43:30 | 0:43:37 | |
recently on -- on Windrush, for
example. We have been here for | 0:43:37 | 0:43:41 | |
centuries. I wanted to reflect that,
tell those stories, the hidden | 0:43:41 | 0:43:45 | |
British history is in my thesis.
Those of the stories we are telling. | 0:43:45 | 0:43:53 | |
More than ten years since they
started walking, this is one they | 0:43:53 | 0:43:57 | |
will never forget. As the Sheffield
walkers bid farewell to the actors | 0:43:57 | 0:44:02 | |
will be taking their story around
the country. BBC News. | 0:44:02 | 0:44:06 | |
Black Men Walking is on at
the Royal Exchange theatre | 0:44:06 | 0:44:09 | |
in Manchester until the 3rd
of February before going | 0:44:09 | 0:44:11 | |
on a nationwide tour. | 0:44:11 | 0:44:12 | |
Really looking forward to seeing
that. Absolutely. It is a day for | 0:44:12 | 0:44:17 | |
walking, it's nice and fresh but
it's very cold. Some freezing rain | 0:44:17 | 0:44:29 | |
on the way and how much snow are
going to get today? | 0:44:29 | 0:44:32 | |
on the way and how much snow are
going to get today? This picture is | 0:44:32 | 0:44:33 | |
pretty good. It gives you an example
of the amounts of snow that some of | 0:44:33 | 0:44:38 | |
us are getting through the course of
this morning. A lot of areas have | 0:44:38 | 0:44:42 | |
not had the snow yet. At the moment,
it is across some of the western | 0:44:42 | 0:44:48 | |
areas. Look at coal that he is in
Scotland. And it is the coldest | 0:44:48 | 0:44:55 | |
night of the winter so far. But some
of the weather then around one | 0:44:55 | 0:45:00 | |
o'clock in the morning. By this
stage, milder wearer has reached a | 0:45:00 | 0:45:05 | |
Northern Ireland. We are talking
about rainfall. The weather front is | 0:45:05 | 0:45:09 | |
just about approaching the
north-west of England, Lancashire | 0:45:09 | 0:45:12 | |
here, turning to snow across
northern parts of Wales through the | 0:45:12 | 0:45:17 | |
Midlands, just about almost into
central and southern England. | 0:45:17 | 0:45:19 | |
Cornwall in Devon, no snow for you.
It's going to be rainfall. The mild | 0:45:19 | 0:45:26 | |
air is coming in. Look at what
happens. You get this whole line of | 0:45:26 | 0:45:31 | |
snow. This is the weather front
which is basically moving in, | 0:45:31 | 0:45:35 | |
sliding into that cold air is
sitting across eastern parts of the | 0:45:35 | 0:45:39 | |
country. And you know, it's going to
be a real headache to predict who | 0:45:39 | 0:45:44 | |
actually gets the snow and who gets
the street. Who gets the snow | 0:45:44 | 0:45:48 | |
turning to rain. One of those messy
pictures where if you want to snow, | 0:45:48 | 0:45:52 | |
you might be disappointed. And the
other way around as well. Really | 0:45:52 | 0:45:57 | |
messy, wintry picture. But it's only
going to last for a few hours. That | 0:45:57 | 0:46:01 | |
means by tomorrow morning, we are
all in the milder Atlantic SO no | 0:46:01 | 0:46:07 | |
snow in the forecast for tomorrow in
a very different dates are many of | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
us. So much better tomorrow. A lot
brighter. A couple of light show or | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
showers. Then the weekend is looking
different. Milder rare from the | 0:46:15 | 0:46:21 | |
Atlantic. -- milder out.
Temperatures climbing. When we get | 0:46:21 | 0:46:32 | |
milder coming in off the Atlantic,
it's not ideal. You can see cloud | 0:46:32 | 0:46:38 | |
and rain coming in. Over the next
few hours, a period of snow in the | 0:46:38 | 0:46:43 | |
recap. Clicking on the roads. I
surround. The most of us, is just | 0:46:43 | 0:46:52 | |
going to come and go. Hot, cold. | 0:46:52 | 0:46:58 | |
We'll be back with
the headlines at 7:00. | 0:46:58 | 0:47:00 | |
But first, It's time
for Click with Spencer Kelly. | 0:47:00 | 0:47:08 | |
At the oily roads mixed with fresh
water have become a lethal recipe | 0:47:45 | 0:47:51 | |
for disaster. The Veide Highway
Patrol, it is someone calling 911 or | 0:47:51 | 0:48:03 | |
driving apps. It provides him with
details and the best route to get to | 0:48:03 | 0:48:08 | |
the scene. | 0:48:08 | 0:48:18 | |
the scene. It will show that any
responders. | 0:48:18 | 0:48:24 | |
It'll tell me the location,
what kind of accident, | 0:48:45 | 0:48:47 | |
if it's debris, how long it's
going and if there's any responders | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
that are assigned to the call
that are on their way. | 0:48:50 | 0:48:53 | |
It constantly updates him
on the situation as it develops. | 0:48:53 | 0:48:56 | |
Having a robust system
in place doesn't just help | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
with weather-related collisions. | 0:48:58 | 0:48:59 | |
With our Route 91 shooting
that we had at Mandalay, | 0:48:59 | 0:49:02 | |
for the portion that we handled
in the Highway Patrol, | 0:49:02 | 0:49:05 | |
it's really getting the public
that's on the strip off the highway | 0:49:05 | 0:49:08 | |
as quickly as possible,
or closing off the freeway | 0:49:08 | 0:49:10 | |
so we can have those
critical resources, fire, | 0:49:10 | 0:49:13 | |
medical, ambulances,
to get people to the hospital | 0:49:13 | 0:49:15 | |
and get there quickly. | 0:49:15 | 0:49:16 | |
In 2017, 15,000 crashes were tended
to, with over 300 people dying | 0:49:16 | 0:49:19 | |
on average each year in road
accidents in Nevada. | 0:49:19 | 0:49:22 | |
Getting emergency services
to the scene as quickly | 0:49:22 | 0:49:24 | |
as possible is critical. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:25 | |
We're gonna send injury to it
and it's camera 217. | 0:49:25 | 0:49:27 | |
The system has been running
through the Regional Transportation | 0:49:27 | 0:49:30 | |
Commission's Traffic Management
Center for the past three months. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:32 | |
Now because we're getting
information through so many | 0:49:32 | 0:49:35 | |
different data streams,
not just the dispatchers, | 0:49:35 | 0:49:36 | |
but we're getting it
through social media, | 0:49:36 | 0:49:38 | |
things like the Waze app,
so people are tagging them | 0:49:38 | 0:49:41 | |
in as they're driving. | 0:49:41 | 0:49:42 | |
Because all of this is happening
so quickly, we might have already | 0:49:42 | 0:49:45 | |
sent out all of that information
and had everybody in this room | 0:49:45 | 0:49:49 | |
aware before the first
911 call comes in. | 0:49:49 | 0:49:51 | |
So we're talking about possibly ten
to 15 minutes of improvement | 0:49:51 | 0:49:54 | |
in response time in some
of these incidents. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:56 | |
That's major when you're dealing
with traffic incidents. | 0:49:56 | 0:49:58 | |
Waycare pulls in data
from several sources - | 0:49:58 | 0:50:01 | |
traffic signals, CCTV cameras,
in vehicle sensors and information | 0:50:01 | 0:50:03 | |
from driving apps. | 0:50:03 | 0:50:04 | |
It factors in things
like what day of the year it is, | 0:50:04 | 0:50:07 | |
the time of day and the weather. | 0:50:07 | 0:50:09 | |
Responding to incidents
rapidly is one thing, | 0:50:09 | 0:50:11 | |
but the point is to be able
to predict incidents before | 0:50:11 | 0:50:14 | |
they happen, so the responders
can be better prepared | 0:50:14 | 0:50:16 | |
and in the right location. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:18 | |
Using deep learning,
what we do is we look | 0:50:18 | 0:50:20 | |
at the historical data,
run it through algorithms to develop | 0:50:20 | 0:50:23 | |
patterns that are emerging and tie
it to what's happening now | 0:50:23 | 0:50:26 | |
on the road. | 0:50:26 | 0:50:27 | |
By doing that we're essentially able
to look forward in time to identify | 0:50:27 | 0:50:30 | |
where these incidents
are likely to occur. | 0:50:30 | 0:50:32 | |
Unfortunately, Waycare wasn't able
to predict this one. | 0:50:32 | 0:50:34 | |
The trooper's taking pictures. | 0:50:34 | 0:50:35 | |
It looks like it's the rear. | 0:50:35 | 0:50:37 | |
You see how she was spinning out? | 0:50:37 | 0:50:39 | |
She did a full 180
and struck right here. | 0:50:39 | 0:50:43 | |
Being able to foresee accidents
here could really save lives. | 0:50:43 | 0:50:46 | |
The hope is that as the data
gets more sophisticated, | 0:50:46 | 0:50:48 | |
the predictions
will become more accurate. | 0:50:48 | 0:50:50 | |
Every day we get more and more
evidence about what causes... | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
..what triggers an incident
and the artificial learning gets | 0:50:53 | 0:50:55 | |
smarter and smarter
and more capable. | 0:50:55 | 0:50:57 | |
For Nevada now, though,
the initial results are promising. | 0:50:57 | 0:50:59 | |
They get there faster,
we clear it faster and that | 0:50:59 | 0:51:05 | |
means less secondary accidents and,
if you think about it, | 0:51:05 | 0:51:12 | |
secondary accidents have... | 0:51:12 | 0:51:20 | |
Basically 18% of secondary
accidents are fatalities. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:22 | |
So we're reducing the
fatalities on the roadway. | 0:51:22 | 0:51:30 | |
And of course the goal is to prevent
accidents altogether | 0:51:30 | 0:51:33 | |
and Richard Taylor and Lara
Lewington have been looking at some | 0:51:33 | 0:51:35 | |
in-car technologies that may help
make that a reality. | 0:51:35 | 0:51:38 | |
At CES, as you might expect,
there's a lot of interest in self | 0:51:38 | 0:51:41 | |
driving cars and it's pretty clear
that we are on a one-way street | 0:51:41 | 0:51:45 | |
towards full autonomy. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:47 | |
But that does still seem to be a way
off, although we don't know | 0:51:47 | 0:51:55 | |
exactly how far. | 0:51:55 | 0:51:57 | |
In the meantime, though,
there is plenty of innovation to be | 0:51:57 | 0:52:01 | |
seen before we reach
our final destination. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:03 | |
Unsurprisingly, the move
towards autonomated driving | 0:52:03 | 0:52:07 | |
is focused largely on safety,
with Hyundai creating a system | 0:52:07 | 0:52:15 | |
to intervene when we
need it the most. | 0:52:15 | 0:52:18 | |
The car's fitted with a combination
of biometric sensors in the seat, | 0:52:18 | 0:52:26 | |
they're tracking heart rate,
and a low resolution camera | 0:52:26 | 0:52:29 | |
which is tracking your
facial movements. | 0:52:29 | 0:52:35 | |
The reason it's low resolution
is so that the refresh | 0:52:35 | 0:52:38 | |
rate is quicker. | 0:52:38 | 0:52:38 | |
So if there's a problem,
if it seems you've lost | 0:52:38 | 0:52:41 | |
concentration or you're
drifting off to sleep, | 0:52:41 | 0:52:43 | |
then the car can quickly react
toautonomously be moved off | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
the road to a safe spot. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:47 | |
And the basic premise of this
technology could be available | 0:52:47 | 0:52:50 | |
in just a year. | 0:52:50 | 0:52:51 | |
Meanwhile, Nissan has a different,
even more futuristic twist | 0:52:51 | 0:52:54 | |
on biometrics, using my grey matter. | 0:52:54 | 0:52:55 | |
The idea of this system is really
to provide an interaction | 0:52:55 | 0:52:58 | |
between man and machine,
between my brain and the AI. | 0:52:58 | 0:53:01 | |
And the concept here with Nissan
is that even in a world | 0:53:01 | 0:53:04 | |
of autonomous vehicles,
there will be roles | 0:53:04 | 0:53:06 | |
for humans to play. | 0:53:06 | 0:53:07 | |
After all, a lot of people do find
driving quite a positive experience. | 0:53:07 | 0:53:11 | |
It can interpret the signals coming
from the human and actually | 0:53:11 | 0:53:14 | |
enhance the ride. | 0:53:14 | 0:53:15 | |
This so-called brain to vehicle tech
currently involves wearing | 0:53:15 | 0:53:17 | |
this bizarre looking electrode
studded helmet to capture my brain | 0:53:17 | 0:53:20 | |
activity and interpret the signals
as much as half a second | 0:53:20 | 0:53:23 | |
before my muscles do. | 0:53:23 | 0:53:24 | |
So, as I'm about to say "change
lane" or "hit the brakes", | 0:53:24 | 0:53:27 | |
it will initiate the action for me,
giving me a smoother ride, | 0:53:27 | 0:53:30 | |
and yet still allowing me
a sense of control. | 0:53:30 | 0:53:33 | |
They do need to sort out
that helmet, though. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:41 | |
LAUGHS | 0:53:41 | 0:53:42 | |
Oh, dear. | 0:53:42 | 0:53:50 | |
I'm not driving very well here. | 0:53:54 | 0:53:56 | |
Yet what we can't hide away
from is the fact that when full | 0:53:56 | 0:54:00 | |
autonomy does come to pass,
it's not simply about cars. | 0:54:00 | 0:54:02 | |
This is Yamaha's concept motorbike. | 0:54:02 | 0:54:04 | |
A self-driving racing vehicle that
should be able to do speeds of over | 0:54:04 | 0:54:07 | |
120 mph, although not
on actual roads you'd hope. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:10 | |
But whatever the form
of autonomous vehicle, | 0:54:10 | 0:54:12 | |
it'll need to interact
safely with pedestrians | 0:54:12 | 0:54:13 | |
and cyclists too, a challenge that
Ford are hoping to overcome | 0:54:13 | 0:54:16 | |
in their vehicles. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:24 | |
Initially, cyclists will have to be
seen by the vehicles | 0:54:31 | 0:54:34 | |
and we are building perception
into our autonomous vehicle that | 0:54:34 | 0:54:36 | |
allows it to detect the cyclists,
objects, to understand their intent | 0:54:36 | 0:54:39 | |
and ensure that we can be safely
navigating in the same space. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:43 | |
And Ford are just one of the big
brands who've called | 0:54:43 | 0:54:46 | |
on the help of Nvidia,
whose processes, combined | 0:54:46 | 0:54:48 | |
with intelligence software,
can make the environment | 0:54:48 | 0:54:50 | |
around the vehicle safer. | 0:54:50 | 0:54:51 | |
For example, using LiDAR
sensors to alert a driver | 0:54:51 | 0:54:53 | |
who is about to open a car
door onto a cyclist. | 0:54:53 | 0:55:01 | |
And AI is fuelling other experiences
inside the car, too. | 0:55:01 | 0:55:03 | |
Speech recognition specialists
Nuance power many of today's in-car | 0:55:03 | 0:55:06 | |
interactions and they showed off how
they'll look in future as well. | 0:55:06 | 0:55:12 | |
Today we think about the assistant
as something that we interact | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
with using voice, but we can
add other modalities. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:18 | |
Of course we have the screen,
we have touch, but maybe we can use | 0:55:18 | 0:55:22 | |
gestures and in this specific
prototype we introduced eye | 0:55:22 | 0:55:24 | |
tracking, as a way of helping
the assistant understand what am I, | 0:55:24 | 0:55:27 | |
as a driver, looking
at and then I can ask questions | 0:55:27 | 0:55:30 | |
about my environment. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:31 | |
So if I see a coffee
shop in front of me, | 0:55:31 | 0:55:39 | |
I can just ask
a question about it. | 0:55:43 | 0:55:45 | |
What is the user rating
of this coffee shop? | 0:55:45 | 0:55:48 | |
Starbucks coffee has a user
rating of three stars. | 0:55:48 | 0:55:50 | |
Until when is it open? | 0:55:50 | 0:55:51 | |
It closes at 11pm. | 0:55:51 | 0:55:59 | |
Send a message to Frank Baker,
saying, "Let's have coffee tonight". | 0:55:59 | 0:56:02 | |
OK, sending a message
to Frank Baker, saying, | 0:56:02 | 0:56:04 | |
"Let's have coffee tonight". | 0:56:04 | 0:56:05 | |
Ready to send it? | 0:56:05 | 0:56:06 | |
Yes. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:08 | |
So the other part of this system
is that there are microphones placed | 0:56:08 | 0:56:12 | |
in different parts of the car,
which means the AI can respond | 0:56:12 | 0:56:15 | |
according to where the
different passengers are. | 0:56:15 | 0:56:17 | |
So here on the passenger
seat I can say, "hello, | 0:56:17 | 0:56:20 | |
Dragon, I'm cold". | 0:56:20 | 0:56:22 | |
OK, raising the temperature in zone
two to 71.0 degrees. | 0:56:22 | 0:56:30 | |
There's definitely a trend
towards making our journeys more | 0:56:34 | 0:56:36 | |
enjoyable as well as safer. | 0:56:36 | 0:56:37 | |
Toyota have even updated
their happiness tracking concept | 0:56:37 | 0:56:39 | |
car, aiming for a more
pleasurable journey and even | 0:56:39 | 0:56:42 | |
suggesting where you
might want to go, | 0:56:42 | 0:56:44 | |
for anyone who needs
their car to tell them. | 0:56:44 | 0:56:51 | |
Since you are a foodie,
I'll tell you something interesting. | 0:56:51 | 0:56:54 | |
There are many options around
Union Square from casual dining | 0:56:54 | 0:56:57 | |
to Michelin starred. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:57 | |
High-end restaurants
as well as popular cafes. | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
Do you like it? | 0:56:59 | 0:57:05 | |
Yes. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:06 | |
That was a bit of fun,
but I didn't need the AI to tell me | 0:57:06 | 0:57:10 | |
that I was ready for dinner. | 0:57:10 | 0:57:13 | |
Sushi? | 0:57:13 | 0:57:13 | |
Yeah, let's go.
Let's go. | 0:57:13 | 0:57:14 | |
And, from Boeing to boozing,
I'm on my way to the Tipsy Robot, | 0:57:14 | 0:57:18 | |
where mixology has been
given a hi-tech makeover. | 0:57:18 | 0:57:20 | |
Here, the drinks are shaken
and served by these two chaps. | 0:57:20 | 0:57:23 | |
I can even invent my own cocktail,
by choosing from some of the 120-odd | 0:57:23 | 0:57:27 | |
spirits hanging from the ceiling -
or, I assume, all of the 120-odd | 0:57:27 | 0:57:33 | |
spirits in one. | 0:57:33 | 0:57:34 | |
Can I do that? | 0:57:34 | 0:57:42 | |
No, I can't do that, apparently. | 0:57:42 | 0:57:48 | |
These droids can mix 100 cocktails
an hour between the two of them. | 0:57:48 | 0:57:51 | |
That sounded impressive,
until I discovered some human | 0:57:51 | 0:57:53 | |
bartenders can do ten times that. | 0:57:53 | 0:57:59 | |
And that's it for Click
in the US for this week. | 0:57:59 | 0:58:01 | |
Don't forget you can
follow us on Twitter, | 0:58:01 | 0:58:05 | |
where you can see loads of extra
backstage videos and photos. | 0:58:05 | 0:58:13 | |
Although, trust me, you don't
want to see what happens | 0:58:13 | 0:58:21 | |
after I have one or two of these. | 0:58:22 | 0:58:30 | |
Cheers, see you soon. | 0:58:42 | 0:58:43 | |
Oh, fruity! | 0:58:43 | 0:58:45 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast | 1:00:05 | 1:00:06 | |
with Christian Frazer
and Babita Sharma. | 1:00:06 | 1:00:08 | |
The siege of a luxury hotel in Kabul
has come to an end - | 1:00:08 | 1:00:12 | |
12 hours after it was stormed
by heavily armed militants. | 1:00:12 | 1:00:14 | |
Five people were killed
but security forces | 1:00:14 | 1:00:16 | |
were able to free
more than 100 guests. | 1:00:16 | 1:00:24 | |
Good morning, it's
Sunday 21 January. | 1:00:33 | 1:00:35 | |
Also this morning: | 1:00:35 | 1:00:36 | |
New plans to make sure faulty goods
are removed more quickly from shops | 1:00:36 | 1:00:39 | |
and homes. | 1:00:39 | 1:00:43 | |
The Ukip leader Henry Bolton fights
to keep his job as the party holds | 1:00:43 | 1:00:46 | |
an emergency meeting

Blue badge permits for free parking
are to be made easier to get | 1:00:53 | 1:00:56 | |
for people with
dementia and autism. | 1:00:56 | 1:00:58 | |
And in sport, Britain's Karl Edmund
loses the first set of his last 16 | 1:00:58 | 1:01:02 | |
match against Italy's Andreas Seppi
at the Australian Open. | 1:01:02 | 1:01:04 | |
Tomasz has the weather. | 1:01:04 | 1:01:06 | |
Be prepared for a bit
of snow this morning. | 1:01:06 | 1:01:09 | |
Quite tricky on some of the roads. | 1:01:09 | 1:01:14 | |
The snows will not
be last everywhere. | 1:01:14 | 1:01:19 | |
It may turn milder tomorrow. | 1:01:19 | 1:01:20 | |
Good morning, first our main story. | 1:01:20 | 1:01:22 | |
The authorities in Afghanistan say
a siege of a luxury hotel in Kabul | 1:01:22 | 1:01:26 | |
has come to an end,
more than twelve hours | 1:01:26 | 1:01:28 | |
after it was attacked by gunmen. | 1:01:28 | 1:01:30 | |
An interior ministry
spokesman said five civilians | 1:01:30 | 1:01:32 | |
including one foreigner were killed
at the Intercontinental Hotel, | 1:01:32 | 1:01:36 | |
along with all three attackers. | 1:01:36 | 1:01:38 | |
More than 100 people
have been rescued. | 1:01:38 | 1:01:40 | |
Andrew Plant reports. | 1:01:40 | 1:01:42 | |
The Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul,
at dawn on Sunday morning, | 1:01:42 | 1:01:50 | |
blackened and smoking
after an 11-hour siege. | 1:01:50 | 1:01:56 | |
The shooting started
after nightfall, | 1:01:56 | 1:01:57 | |
several gunmen armed with grenades
and automatic weapons. | 1:01:57 | 1:01:59 | |
TRANSLATION: At first,
I heard some gunfire and then, | 1:01:59 | 1:02:02 | |
after 15 minutes, a worker
from the hotel approached and said | 1:02:02 | 1:02:05 | |
that suicide attackers
entered the hotel. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:07 | |
Security forces were fighting
the gunmen floor by floor | 1:02:07 | 1:02:09 | |
with reports of
hostages being taken. | 1:02:09 | 1:02:11 | |
We now know that around 100 guests
have been allowed to leave. | 1:02:11 | 1:02:14 | |
It's thought the security guards
at the entrance to the 5-storey | 1:02:14 | 1:02:17 | |
building are among those
who came under fire. | 1:02:17 | 1:02:21 | |
The Intercontinental Hotel in Kabul
is popular with foreign guests. | 1:02:21 | 1:02:25 | |
Situated on a hilltop a few
miles outside the city, | 1:02:25 | 1:02:28 | |
it has been the target
of an attack before, | 1:02:28 | 1:02:32 | |
in 2011, when 21 people died,
including nine attackers. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:35 | |
Security forces said two
of the gunmen had been shot | 1:02:35 | 1:02:38 | |
and killed, two more were thought
to be hiding in the building. | 1:02:38 | 1:02:42 | |
It is not yet clear
whether they are still on the loose. | 1:02:42 | 1:02:46 | |
The attack comes days after the US
embassy in Kabul issued a warning | 1:02:46 | 1:02:53 | |
about hotels in the city,
saying extremist groups could be | 1:02:53 | 1:03:00 | |
planning an attack, saying hotels
as well as public gatherings | 1:03:00 | 1:03:02 | |
could be potential targets. | 1:03:02 | 1:03:10 | |
It has been a long night of the
Special Forces. You can see the | 1:03:10 | 1:03:15 | |
Intercontinental hotel. The smoke
has been pouring from the roof. Very | 1:03:15 | 1:03:19 | |
lucky to get out alive. We
understand they were at least 40 | 1:03:19 | 1:03:24 | |
foreigners inside the hotel but were
rescued. One foreign national was | 1:03:24 | 1:03:29 | |
killed in the attack. We have not
yet heard the nationality of the | 1:03:29 | 1:03:34 | |
foreign national. We understand the
security forces are carrying out an | 1:03:34 | 1:03:41 | |
investigation. | 1:03:41 | 1:03:47 | |
investigation. No group has claimed
responsibility yet. | 1:03:47 | 1:03:51 | |
Large-scale recalls of dangerous
and faulty goods will be managed | 1:03:51 | 1:03:53 | |
by a new body from today. | 1:03:53 | 1:03:55 | |
The Office for Product
Safety and Standards | 1:03:55 | 1:03:57 | |
will ensure they're removed
from homes and shelves more quickly. | 1:03:57 | 1:04:00 | |
Our business correspondent
Joe Lynam reports. | 1:04:00 | 1:04:01 | |
In recent years, there have been
notable product recalls such | 1:04:01 | 1:04:04 | |
as the Samsung Galaxy Note and some
Whirlpool tumble dryers. | 1:04:04 | 1:04:07 | |
Now the government hopes
to accelerate the time | 1:04:07 | 1:04:09 | |
between recognising the problem
and removing the product | 1:04:09 | 1:04:14 | |
from shops and homes. | 1:04:14 | 1:04:15 | |
The new Office for Product Safety
and Standards will primarily cover | 1:04:15 | 1:04:19 | |
electrical or white goods
like washing machines or fridges | 1:04:19 | 1:04:22 | |
and will have a panel of experts
to decide whether a minor or local | 1:04:22 | 1:04:27 | |
issue requires a national recall
and it will ensure that imported | 1:04:27 | 1:04:30 | |
goods from the EU will be
properly checked once the UK | 1:04:30 | 1:04:33 | |
leaves next year. | 1:04:33 | 1:04:36 | |
What this new body will do is it
will ensure that the know-how | 1:04:36 | 1:04:39 | |
and the technical expertise
is available to prevent any delays | 1:04:39 | 1:04:42 | |
and to keep the public
as safe as possible. | 1:04:42 | 1:04:45 | |
Hundreds of electrical products
are recalled in Britain every year | 1:04:45 | 1:04:47 | |
but this new agency hopes to prevent
these kinds of incidents. | 1:04:47 | 1:04:50 | |

The future of the UKIP leader,
Henry Bolton will be up | 1:04:53 | 1:04:56 | |
for discussion when the party's
national executive holds | 1:04:56 | 1:04:58 | |
an emergency meeting later today. | 1:04:58 | 1:04:59 | |
There have been calls
for him to step down | 1:04:59 | 1:05:02 | |
after it was reported his girlfriend
had sent offensive texts, | 1:05:02 | 1:05:07 | |
including racist comments
about Prince Harry's fiance Meghan | 1:05:07 | 1:05:09 | |
Markle. | 1:05:09 | 1:05:10 | |
Let's talk to our political
correspondent, Emma Vardy. | 1:05:10 | 1:05:15 | |
It seems they are dammed if they do,
dammed if they don't. There are some | 1:05:15 | 1:05:19 | |
who are worried about another
leadership contest. As you say, the | 1:05:19 | 1:05:24 | |
fear of yet another rather
embarrassing leadership contest | 1:05:24 | 1:05:27 | |
under the circumstances might just
save him but we will have to wait | 1:05:27 | 1:05:32 | |
and see the outcome of that meeting
today. He will certainly be fighting | 1:05:32 | 1:05:35 | |
to try to save his job. He is
expected to face a vote of | 1:05:35 | 1:05:40 | |
confidence from the NEC committee,
the party's ruling body at the NEC | 1:05:40 | 1:05:44 | |
don't have the power to sack Henry
Bolton, that would have to go to a | 1:05:44 | 1:05:49 | |
vote of wider members in the party.
This is all coming to a head because | 1:05:49 | 1:05:53 | |
the saga has been unfolding since
Christmas over the relationship with | 1:05:53 | 1:05:58 | |
his girlfriend, Jo Marney, and those
text messages which were released to | 1:05:58 | 1:06:02 | |
the press. He says the relationship
is now over yet many people, he has | 1:06:02 | 1:06:06 | |
lost the confidence of many people
within Ukip. If he does go later | 1:06:06 | 1:06:10 | |
today, he will see what that meeting
brings, leaving you keep looking for | 1:06:10 | 1:06:15 | |
its fifth leader in just over one
year. -- leaving Ukip. The party's | 1:06:15 | 1:06:22 | |
Brexit spokesman will be on were
last later, Gerard Batten. | 1:06:22 | 1:06:26 | |
Turkey has warned that it
could deploy ground forces today | 1:06:26 | 1:06:29 | |
after launching air attacks
against Kurdish fighters in northern | 1:06:29 | 1:06:32 | |
Syria. | 1:06:32 | 1:06:32 | |
More than a hundred targets
were bombed in the Afrin region | 1:06:32 | 1:06:35 | |
with the Syrian Kurds backed
by the US, but Turkey | 1:06:35 | 1:06:38 | |
calls them terrorists. | 1:06:38 | 1:06:38 | |
The first strikes of the new front
in Syria's war. Turkish F-16s | 1:06:38 | 1:06:44 | |
pounding Kurdish positions from the
air. Thick plumes riding -- rising | 1:06:44 | 1:06:48 | |
above the enclave Afrin held by the
YPG. Turkey sees them as terrorists | 1:06:48 | 1:06:56 | |
linked to the Kurdish militant group
the PKK which has waged insurgency | 1:06:56 | 1:07:00 | |
in Turkey since the 1980s. The
strikes were backed by Turkish | 1:07:00 | 1:07:05 | |
artillery from the border, tanks in
place, ready to roll in. The aim of | 1:07:05 | 1:07:09 | |
Turkey is to stop the Kurds
extending their territorial control | 1:07:09 | 1:07:13 | |
in northern Syria. Standing
side-by-side with Turkey, Syria and | 1:07:13 | 1:07:17 | |
rebel fighters leading the ground
offensive now. The incursion is | 1:07:17 | 1:07:22 | |
called operation olive branch yet it
is anything but peaceful. Turkey is | 1:07:22 | 1:07:27 | |
up against Kurdish military might.
They have been backed by the US in | 1:07:27 | 1:07:32 | |
the war against Islamic state which
has incensed the Turkish government. | 1:07:32 | 1:07:35 | |
An estimated half a million have
been killed in Syria's war. The | 1:07:35 | 1:07:39 | |
theory is with this new offensive,
that number could rise again. BBC | 1:07:39 | 1:07:46 | |
News, on the Turkey Syria border. | 1:07:46 | 1:07:48 | |
A fresh attempt will be made
to break the deadlock that has led | 1:07:48 | 1:07:52 | |
to the shutdown of parts
of the US government. | 1:07:52 | 1:07:54 | |
A fresh vote is due to take place
in the Senate tomorrow. | 1:07:54 | 1:07:58 | |
Hundreds of thousands of American
government workers face the prospect | 1:07:58 | 1:08:00 | |
of unpaid leave if the
stand off continues. | 1:08:00 | 1:08:02 | |
Democrats say Donald Trump
blocked a compromise deal - | 1:08:02 | 1:08:05 | |
the claim has been denied
by the White House. | 1:08:05 | 1:08:13 | |
Theresa May has said she will crack
down on company executives. Writing | 1:08:14 | 1:08:18 | |
in the Observer, she described the
practice and is an unacceptable | 1:08:18 | 1:08:23 | |
abuse that will be ended. | 1:08:23 | 1:08:25 | |
People with hidden disabilities
in England could soon be entitled | 1:08:25 | 1:08:27 | |
to blue badge permits
for free parking. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:29 | |
The Department for
Transport said the change | 1:08:29 | 1:08:31 | |
would make it easier for those
with conditions such as autism | 1:08:31 | 1:08:34 | |
and dementia to access
services they needed. | 1:08:34 | 1:08:36 | |
Helena Lee has this report. | 1:08:36 | 1:08:42 | |
The blue badge scheme was first
introduced in England in the 1970s. | 1:08:42 | 1:08:46 | |
Today, around 2.4 million people
with disabilities have one. | 1:08:46 | 1:08:49 | |
It allows them to park free
of charge on roads and normally | 1:08:49 | 1:08:52 | |
without time limits. | 1:08:52 | 1:08:53 | |
The government is now proposing
to extend the scheme. | 1:08:53 | 1:08:56 | |
It wants people with disabilities
and conditions like autism | 1:08:56 | 1:08:59 | |
and dementia to be able to qualify
for a blue badge so they too can | 1:08:59 | 1:09:03 | |
enjoy the freedom to get out
where and when they want. | 1:09:03 | 1:09:06 | |
The Department for Transport says
only some councils recognise hidden | 1:09:06 | 1:09:14 | |
disabilities under the current
scheme because they interpret | 1:09:16 | 1:09:18 | |
the existing rules differently. | 1:09:18 | 1:09:19 | |
The proposals would be the biggest
change to the scheme | 1:09:19 | 1:09:24 | |
since it was first introduced. | 1:09:24 | 1:09:25 | |
The plans will now go through
an 8-week public consultation. | 1:09:25 | 1:09:28 | |
Helena Lee, BBC News. | 1:09:28 | 1:09:34 | |
They say a man's home is his castle,
and for one artist in Brazil | 1:09:34 | 1:09:38 | |
it really is. | 1:09:38 | 1:09:38 | |
Marcio Matolias has lived
in a sandcastle for 22 years | 1:09:38 | 1:09:41 | |
in an upmarket neighbourhood
of Rio De Janeiro. | 1:09:41 | 1:09:43 | |
It isn't huge inside,
but he has everything he needs. | 1:09:43 | 1:09:46 | |
Marcio says if there is heavy rain
he just sculpts himself | 1:09:46 | 1:09:49 | |
a new sandcastle. | 1:09:49 | 1:09:50 | |
He compares his style
to Niemeyer and Gaudi, | 1:09:50 | 1:09:57 | |
and makes money from donations
and runs a book exchange. | 1:09:57 | 1:09:59 | |
I am glad he has built it far
enough back from the tide. | 1:09:59 | 1:10:07 | |
In the past few years,
several fires have been linked | 1:10:18 | 1:10:21 | |
to faulty fridge freezers
and tumble dryers. | 1:10:21 | 1:10:23 | |
Now, the recall of these defective
products will be managed | 1:10:23 | 1:10:25 | |
by a new body called 'The Office
for Product Safety and Standards'. | 1:10:25 | 1:10:29 | |
It's hoped this new
organisation will speed up | 1:10:29 | 1:10:31 | |
the time between recognising
a problem with a product | 1:10:31 | 1:10:33 | |
the time between recognising
a problem with a product | 1:10:33 | 1:10:33 | |
and removing it. | 1:10:33 | 1:10:34 | |

and consumer analyst, | 1:10:34 | 1:10:36 | |
Kate Hardcastle. | 1:10:36 | 1:10:39 | |
Kate Hardcastle. | 1:10:39 | 1:10:40 | |
A big change? It's a welcome change.
Lots of confusion and challenges, | 1:10:40 | 1:10:47 | |
many reports on why things like
these are needed so it's definitely | 1:10:47 | 1:10:50 | |
welcome news. That is borne out by
the fact that although there are | 1:10:50 | 1:10:55 | |
many procedures in place, there is
not clarity and the most important | 1:10:55 | 1:11:01 | |
part is the consumer. It are nowhere
to get the messages from product | 1:11:01 | 1:11:06 | |
safety. We have over for domestic
appliances in the average household | 1:11:06 | 1:11:11 | |
with all of them having the
potential to cause harm. When they | 1:11:11 | 1:11:15 | |
come with warranties and guarantees,
that is the piece of paperwork you | 1:11:15 | 1:11:21 | |
throw into a draw. That means you
don't get information. Explained was | 1:11:21 | 1:11:25 | |
what happens when is a product
recall? What sort of information is | 1:11:25 | 1:11:30 | |
sent out? What are they obliged to
do? There is the European Union | 1:11:30 | 1:11:36 | |
website, local Trading Standards
will get involved, but because it is | 1:11:36 | 1:11:39 | |
local Trading Standards, that is lot
of different authorities. Also, it's | 1:11:39 | 1:11:45 | |
very much down to the consumer to
react to something they might have | 1:11:45 | 1:11:49 | |
heard. To then go and find out more
information. What this is going to | 1:11:49 | 1:11:58 | |
look at is one body making
recommendations, much more research, | 1:11:58 | 1:12:03 | |
encouraging the consumers to get
more involved, which is brilliant. | 1:12:03 | 1:12:10 | |
And the product recall steps are
standardised. Very similar to the | 1:12:10 | 1:12:15 | |
Food Standards Agency. What happens
if you miss that letter in the post | 1:12:15 | 1:12:19 | |
about the recall? That happens a
lot. What is the best way of | 1:12:19 | 1:12:23 | |
ensuring that a consumer knows what
is going on with what their | 1:12:23 | 1:12:27 | |
appliances are doing? They can only
look at best practice. Countries | 1:12:27 | 1:12:31 | |
like America which have good
information. How can they have | 1:12:31 | 1:12:37 | |
websites where you worry about one
product and go to another website. | 1:12:37 | 1:12:41 | |
But the challenges are that
sometimes we don't even give the | 1:12:41 | 1:12:44 | |
information to the retailer to let
them know we have purchased a | 1:12:44 | 1:12:47 | |
product. We are reliant on news
outlets to try and work out that | 1:12:47 | 1:12:55 | |
even in the case like Whirlpool,
there were four different brand | 1:12:55 | 1:12:58 | |
names. You might not realise it is
another home -- it is another one. | 1:12:58 | 1:13:03 | |
It will ensure information is much
more clear to the consumer. | 1:13:03 | 1:13:08 | |
Whirlpool have sent us a statement
on this saying their extensive | 1:13:08 | 1:13:14 | |
campaign has achieved a resolution
rate more than three times the | 1:13:14 | 1:13:17 | |
industry average for a product
recall. Maybe they are one of the | 1:13:17 | 1:13:21 | |
better ones, I don't know. Tel is
about the new group. What will the | 1:13:21 | 1:13:26 | |
website entail? It will be around
the research, procedures, the body | 1:13:26 | 1:13:33 | |
they will put in place that will
bring clarity and formality to | 1:13:33 | 1:13:38 | |
processes. They are going to engage
the consumer which I think is the | 1:13:38 | 1:13:45 | |
most important part. And not be
worried that there is some kind of | 1:13:45 | 1:13:51 | |
marketing. Keeping the family say.
Generally make sure they are | 1:13:51 | 1:13:56 | |
following best practice. OK, Kate,
thank you to coming in. It sounds | 1:13:56 | 1:14:03 | |
interesting. Very important,
although safety concerns. That is | 1:14:03 | 1:14:08 | |
catch up with the weather. Good
morning. : after you? Oh, wow. | 1:14:08 | 1:14:18 | |
catch up with the weather. Good
morning. : after you? Oh, wow. In | 1:14:18 | 1:14:20 | |
the Highlands, a bit sleepy. It's a
bit extreme. | 1:14:20 | 1:14:34 | |
bit extreme. Got snow and ice. A bit
of a problem. This is where the cold | 1:14:34 | 1:14:41 | |
air is sitting. The weather fronts
moving through. Starting to snow | 1:14:41 | 1:14:48 | |
across parts of the UK. Not
everybody is going to get the snow | 1:14:48 | 1:14:52 | |
today but the some of us across
northern and eastern and central | 1:14:52 | 1:14:56 | |
areas, there will be a bit Smalling
-- but falling through this | 1:14:56 | 1:15:00 | |
afternoon. By around nine o'clock,
mostly rain. It's just about | 1:15:00 | 1:15:05 | |
starting to snow in western areas.
Most of it around about here. | 1:15:05 | 1:15:11 | |
Certainly the Midlands into some
snow. The Midlands, Yorkshire, East | 1:15:11 | 1:15:15 | |
Anglia. Certainly Scotland, it goes
without saying, cold right now. Can | 1:15:15 | 1:15:23 | |
see that track, trail of snow across
eastern areas of the UK. How much? | 1:15:23 | 1:15:29 | |
Over the hills as is often the case.
Five, maybe ten centimetres. | 1:15:29 | 1:15:37 | |
Throughout the Midlands and a bit
further south. Maybe a good | 1:15:37 | 1:15:42 | |
covering. And there is freezing rain
as well. The roads will be quite | 1:15:42 | 1:15:49 | |
icy. But this is only temporary.
It's what we call transient snow. | 1:15:49 | 1:15:58 | |
By the time we get it tomorrow, the
snow is long gone. For most of us, | 1:15:58 | 1:16:04 | |
tomorrow is a very different day. A
lot more mild, temperatures eight - | 1:16:04 | 1:16:10 | |
10 degrees higher across the east
and the week ahead, milder air | 1:16:10 | 1:16:14 | |
wafting in from the south. From
these temperatures, you can gather | 1:16:14 | 1:16:21 | |
this spell of cold weather we have
right now is only going to last for | 1:16:21 | 1:16:25 | |
a short while. A bit of a snow day
for some of us. Maybe enough to | 1:16:25 | 1:16:33 | |
build a snowman in some areas but
certainly not everywhere. | 1:16:33 | 1:16:38 | |
build a snowman in some areas but
certainly not everywhere. | 1:16:38 | 1:16:39 | |
Is -13 to coldest we have had? Yes.
So far for this winter. It could | 1:16:39 | 1:16:48 | |
even dropped to -14 in the next hour
or so. I will let you know. I will | 1:16:48 | 1:16:53 | |
keep you hanging. Wrapup. | 1:16:53 | 1:17:00 | |
Last year women around the world
held protests on the first day | 1:17:00 | 1:17:04 | |
of Donald Trump's Presidency. | 1:17:04 | 1:17:05 | |
They marked the start of a year
in which issues like gender equality | 1:17:05 | 1:17:08 | |
and sexual harrassment were faced
head-on in every industry, | 1:17:08 | 1:17:11 | |
from politics to Hollywood. | 1:17:11 | 1:17:12 | |
Today women from 250 countries
will mark the anniversary | 1:17:12 | 1:17:14 | |
by marching again. | 1:17:14 | 1:17:15 | |
One of the events will be a rally
opposite Downing Street. | 1:17:15 | 1:17:18 | |
Let's speak now to Shola
Mos-Shog-bamimu, one | 1:17:18 | 1:17:20 | |
of the organisers. | 1:17:20 | 1:17:23 | |
Talk through what is happening
today. Amazing things. We are | 1:17:28 | 1:17:35 | |
gathering in solidarity to make sure
we are calling for action to bring | 1:17:35 | 1:17:40 | |
an end to a number of issues that
continue to prevail in our society | 1:17:40 | 1:17:44 | |
and are unacceptable. You mentioned
the word Time's Up, that is the hash | 1:17:44 | 1:17:51 | |
tag. We saw huge numbers in protest
in America. You hoping to attract | 1:17:51 | 1:18:00 | |
large numbers like that here in
London? The reality is we can't | 1:18:00 | 1:18:08 | |
predict the numbers that evident
from the masses of people that came | 1:18:08 | 1:18:11 | |
last year, there is a strong number
of people in the country that | 1:18:11 | 1:18:17 | |
resonate with the issues we have
raised stop those other supporters | 1:18:17 | 1:18:22 | |
off-line and online as well. We are
at and confident that we will be | 1:18:22 | 1:18:27 | |
able to stand in solidarity on a
number of these issues. Hardier | 1:18:27 | 1:18:33 | |
assess how successful it will be a
close I know this time last year, | 1:18:33 | 1:18:38 | |
you would say it was exactly what
you wanted to do. -- Powell do you | 1:18:38 | 1:18:47 | |
assess -- how do you. A number of
things have changed. There has been | 1:18:47 | 1:18:55 | |
a cultural paradigms shift in our
thinking. Women's voices have been | 1:18:55 | 1:19:02 | |
amplified. More institutions and
people have been held to account in | 1:19:02 | 1:19:08 | |
respect of a number of these issues
from gender pay gap, sexual | 1:19:08 | 1:19:13 | |
harassment. There is a paradigms
shift and that is very evident and I | 1:19:13 | 1:19:17 | |
think that is a product from the
women's movement. Did think that | 1:19:17 | 1:19:22 | |
perhaps people get confused as to
what exactly you are calling for and | 1:19:22 | 1:19:27 | |
asking for with the hash tag Time's
Up and the hash tag | 1:19:27 | 1:19:40 | |
Up and the hash tag me too. Jetta is
empowering women to share their | 1:19:40 | 1:19:44 | |
stories and experiences. -- it is
empowering women. There shouldn't be | 1:19:44 | 1:19:49 | |
any confusion. The women's march is
grounds routes. Things that | 1:19:49 | 1:20:01 | |
transcend colour, race and creed.
This is a call for action. We need | 1:20:01 | 1:20:04 | |
to understand that complacency gets
us Trump and Brexit. If you do not | 1:20:04 | 1:20:11 | |
show up, stand up, speak up, that if
he did stand-up comedy went get what | 1:20:11 | 1:20:19 | |
you want. -- if you don't do stand
up, you won't get what you want. We | 1:20:19 | 1:20:32 | |
want to achieve, through the march,
we want to put together a | 1:20:32 | 1:20:36 | |
presentation in Parliament. What we
are training to achieve here is a | 1:20:36 | 1:20:46 | |
cultural development. Time's Up on
the cultural oppression of women. In | 1:20:46 | 1:20:56 | |
2016, only 9% of | 1:20:56 | 1:21:05 | |
2016, only 9% of female funds were
able to get funding. We are calling | 1:21:05 | 1:21:09 | |
Time's Up on so much from transfer
the, Islamaphobia, homophobia, | 1:21:09 | 1:21:16 | |
anti-Semitism. We are calling times
on the harassment of violence | 1:21:16 | 1:21:21 | |
against women. | 1:21:21 | 1:21:28 | |
against women. -- transphobia. We
are grateful the time. We will be | 1:21:28 | 1:21:34 | |
watching the protest shortly. | 1:21:34 | 1:21:36 | |

disabilities to qualifty

winds of 60 miles per hour to become
the largest all-female group to ski | 1:22:48 | 1:22:52 | |
coast-to-coast across Antarctica. | 1:22:52 | 1:22:53 | |
