22/01/2018 Breakfast

Hello. Very good morning.

This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker

and Louise Minchin.

The head of the Army says Britain's

military needs more money to match

potential enemies

on the battlefield.

General Sir Nick Carter's warning

comes after Russia practised

simulated attacks

across northern Europe.

Very good morning.

It's Monday the 22nd of January.

Also this morning:

More turmoil for UKIP.

The leader, Henry Bolton,

refuses to step down,

but the party's deputy resigns

saying he's got to go.

Good morning. We have first sight of

a parliamentary report into

nutrition. We are asking what are

the causes and cures for

malnutrition.

Union leaders will be meeting

the bosses of the car maker,

Vauxhall, today.

They'll be discussing the job

losses at Ellesmere Port.

I'll have all the details shortly.

Good morning.

In sport, the defending champion,

Roger Federer, is in action

at the Australian Open,

looking to emulate yesterday's

achievement of Kyle Edmund

in reaching the quarter-finals.

And Sarah has the weather.

Good

Good morning. A lot of lying snow in

the north of the country, but milder

air pushing through all regions

today. I will bring you a full

forecast in about 15 minutes. Thank

you. See you

forecast in about 15 minutes. Thank

you. See you later on.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

The head of the Army will warn today

that Britain's military risks

falling behind that

of its enemies unless it

gets additional investment.

In a speech to the defence think

tank, the Royal United Services

Institute, General Sir Nick Carter

is expected to say that Russia now

has superior battlefield

capabilities to the UK,

and poses a significant threat

in terms of cyber warfare.

Simon Clemison reports.

Images showing what Russia said was

a strike in Syria. The missiles come

not from the Mediterranean Sea, but

the Caspian sea, 900 miles away.

Russia is building an increasingly

aggressive military, which the UK is

struggling to match. Russia has also

been scintillating attacks closer to

home, conducting large-scale

exercises. -- simulating. General

Sir Nick Carter will warn return

must take notice of what is going on

around us and keep up, all we could

be constrained. -- or. He will say

the threats are not thousands of

miles away, but on our doorstep. He

says cyber warfare can also disrupt

the lives of normal people. The head

of the army is not saying this in so

many words, but one way to avoid the

possibility of falling behind in

combat could be money from the

Chancellor at Number 11. He will not

want to see any cuts. The speech

will be made with the approval of

the Defence Secretary who has said

80% rise be a base, not a ceiling.

Simon Cleminson, BBC News -- said a

2% rise.

And in just over half an hour, we'll

speak to a former British Military

Commander. That's at 7:40.

UKIP's deputy leader, Margot Parker,

has resigned from her position

after the party's leader,

Henry Bolton, refused to stand down

following a vote of no

confidence yesterday.

She told the BBC that Mr Bolton's

refusal had left the party

in "limbo" and that he should go

"sooner rather than later."

Our political correspondent,

Chris Mason, joins us from

Westminster.

Last weekend was a hard one for

UKIP. More difficulties.

Yes. The

word extraordinary can be deservedly

thrown around with UKIP. Now it can

be officially attached to a meeting

coming up in the next week to

resolve the leadership issue. You

will remember the row about the

leader, Henry Bolton, he's now

ex-girlfriend's racist comments

popping up in the newspapers. He

said he will not resign. But the

party says he should. He still is

refusing to go. Now his deputy this

morning has walk the plank and

suggested he should follow her along

it. But, no, he doesn't want to go.

There will be an extraordinary

meeting taking place in the next 28

days. It will likely be towards the

tail-end of that period. It requires

250 members to turn up and they will

get a vote to say if he should stay

up it is impossible to say if he

will stay or go. You will have to

ask Jeremy Corbyn about the prospect

of managing to cling on as a leader

when many people in your party wants

to get rid of you. He is still

around, so Bolton may be sticking

around as well.

We will have more on

that later ran. -- later on.

The Foreign Secretary,

Boris Johnson, will meet his US

counterpart, Rex Tillerson,

in London today for talks on Syria,

Iran and Yemen.

It comes after President Donald

Trump refused to visit the UK

and open the new US embassy.

Here's our diplomatic

correspondent, James Landale.

Donald Trump may not be coming to

Britain, but his Secretary of State

is. Rex Tillerson arrived in London

last night for a fresh round of

diplomacy in European capitals. The

foreign policy chief of America is

expected to go to the new US embassy

in London, the one Donald Trump said

he does not like, and try to smooth

ruffled feathers with assurances of

the importance of the UK - US

relationship. But he is meeting

Boris Johnson. Rex Tillerson is also

expected to seek common ground on

key international issues. On Syria,

they will discuss not only the new

Turkish assault on Kurdish forces in

the north, but also upcoming

meetings in Geneva and elsewhere, to

seek, yet again, some kind of

political solution to the conflict.

Rex Tillerson also wants to discuss

Iran, where Britain and Europe are

at odds with the US over deals to

restrict the nuclear programme. He

wants to look at new ways of curbing

the ballistic missiles of Iran. Both

sides will also want to talk about

Yemen and the fighting in the

humanitarian situation continuing to

get worse in what has become a proxy

war between Iran in Saudi Arabia.

But attention, as ever, will focus

on the UK-US relationship which has

contested by Donald Trump's apparent

indifference and reluctance to

visit. Today's diplomacy will pave

the way for the president's meeting

with the Prime Minister Theresa May

expected in the Swedish port of

Davos later this week. James

Landale, BBC News.

The US federal government

will remain closed today

after the Senate delayed a vote

on a budget measure,

which would have allowed civil

servants to go back to work.

Democrats want President Trump

to negotiate over immigration,

but Republicans say no deal

is possible while federal government

services are closed.

The last government shutdown

was in 2013, and lasted for 16 days.

Britain should prepare for a much

more economically optimistic 2018

because global growth

is better than predicted.

That's the argument

of Lord Jim O'Neill,

the former Conservative Treasury

minister and Remain supporter.

He says the gloomy predictions

of the possible effects of Brexit

are likely to be "dwarfed"

by the more positive figures.

A charity says one in three young

women in the UK are embarrassed to

attend smear tests for cervical

cancer because of issues with body

image.

Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust,

which surveyed more than 2,000 women

aged between 25 and 35,

said it was worried about the impact

on screening rates, which have

fallen to a 20-year low.

The key finding which has come out

is that one in three women

researched say that body image is a

significant factor. That is a big

concern. For those under 35, it is

the most common cancer. Potentially,

lives could be put at risk if they

are not going to screenings.

A man's been rescued after a week

of being cut off by the snow.

The 64-year-old, who lives

in Dumfries and Galloway,

had been attempting to reach

the nearest village,

but his path was

blocked by deep snow.

A mountain rescue team

tried to drive to him,

but had to abandon the car and go

on foot to help him.

They finally managed to reach

the man after battling

through drifts for two hours.

Gosh, at least they got him.

Three Billboards Outside Ebbing,

Missouri, has won the top awards

at this year's Screen Actors Guild

Awards in Hollywood.

For the first time in its history,

all the presenters were women.

It was planned before the Me Too

and Times Up movements took off,

in response to the sexual harassment

scandal that's shaken Hollywood.

The awards themselves are a good

indicator of which films are likely

to do well at the Oscars.

Gary Oldman was overcome

with emotion as he accepted his

prize.

We will go through the winners

later. A little bit more gender

equality for you.

Go on, then.

Now here's some positive news

in the gender equality

movement in Hollywood.

Minnie Mouse is finally

due to receive a star

on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

I thought she was going to get equal

pay or something.

She's been in the entertainment

industry for 90 years,

and many Disney fans

say her star is long overdue.

Her beloved Mickey was honoured

with a star four decades ago.

Many of her fellow Disney characters

already have stars on the Walk

of Fame, including Donald Duck,

Tinker Bell, Winnie The Poo,

Snow White, and Kermit the Frog.

Miss Piggy, however,

does not have a star of her own.

I never thought I would be

celebrating for Minnie Mouse.

It is

a disgrace Miss Piggy hasn't got

one.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Britain's Kyle Edmund is already

into the last eight.

He is all the talk. We will know

tomorrow what happens.

Can Novak Djokovic and

Roger Federer join him?

The defending champion is currently

in action and two sets up

in his last 16 match.

Mark Allen has won the Masters

snooker for the first time.

The Northern Irishman beat

England's Kyren Wilson 10-7

in a tight match.

Tommy Fleetwood won his fourth

European Tour title yesterday

by retaining the Abu

Dhabi Championship title.

The European number one started

the day two shots behind

the overnight leaders but shot eight

birdies to win the tournament.

And an's cricketers have salvage

something from their tour of

Australia. -- And England's. Jos

Buttler scored a century. We will be

talking to Kyle Edmund's coach

later.

He has done incredibly well.

And in over 40 degrees.

And in over 40 degrees.

There you

go. Talking about warmth. I will

mention this in the papers. If your

nose is colder than normal, it is a

sign you are working too hard.

I

don't believe that.

I cannot

I cannot believe

you are talking down about

scientific research.

Check your nose

now.

Lots of people believe the

thing about eyeballs coming out of

your head if you hold your sneeze.

If you are thinking too much, blood

goes to the wrong part of your body.

Here you go. Proved. Scientists say

there is a link between mental

overload and facial temperature.

overload and facial temperature. A

cold hooter is a sign of thinking

too hard in a study with thermal

imaging. They found the nose

temperatures of those overwhelmed

dropped by one degree.

That is

amazing.

That is one of my favourite

bits of research you have ever

brought up.

Mining is absolutely

freezing cold.

Things will warm up.

The rest of

freezing cold.

Things will warm up.

The rest of your body will not be as

cold as it was over the weekend.

This is a picture taken by a Weather

Watcher in Cumbria yesterday.

A lot of snow in the north of the

country. Things will change. Looking

at Sunday afternoon. Yesterday, many

places struggled to get above

end of the week. But not as cold as

it has been.

Guardian first. Steroid abuse in

Britain. This is one of the pictures

from quite a few people in London

yesterday taking part in a global

women's march following a number of

events in America and around the

world.

Lots of papers covering this story.

She is called Miley Billingham, she

was stabbed to death. -- Mylee. The

front page of several papers. This

is one of the stories we are

covering. The Daily Telegraph, the

army can't keep up with Russia.

Matching Moscow on the battlefield.

Concerns about the transatlantic

cables, underwater cables. We

haven't got the apparent ability to

defend them. And the wintry flurry

is core to the Queen by surprise at

Sandringham yesterday.

It was bitter, wasn't it? It was a

proper stay inside day.

If you are out too long, your chin

goes cold.

Col chairman anyone?

That's what you

get from a motorbike? A cold chin?

What have you got? Obviously, still

loads of analysis about Carillion,

and I will give you more on that. We

have been talking about robots

taking over the world, robots will

do everything. There is a shop in

Edinburgh which took on a robot and

he has been sacked after a week. Bad

attitude? Apparently it's because,

he had a promising start, he was

greeting customers well but then he

didn't really know what he was

doing. Someone asked him, where is

Libya? In the alcohol section. And

when one of the customers came in,

he said Hadlow, gorgeous. He hasn't

done too well. Fabio the shop bot is

no more.

One shop, there was an

experiment with a hologram. She has

been booted out.

Do you say hello to

them?

I do. No, I don't. Because I

would rather talk to a person.

I

talk to cash machines sometimes as

well.

Thank you for my money.

Kyle

Adnam and is all over the back

pages. Five things you didn't know.

-- Edmund. He was born in

Johannesburg, moved to the UK at

three, grew up in Tipton in East

Yorkshire, near Beverley. Cricket

was his first love, he loves

Liverpool, is a petrol hedge -- is a

petrolhead and has been friends with

Andy Murray, practised with him for

five years. Now he is doing his own

training schedule. And Sanchez is

all over the papers as well. This is

what the Sun has gone with.

United

have dealt the city a major blow.

Let me show you a picture of this.

Apparently he has got 400,000

followers on Instagram. What I find

extraordinary is that he looks like

he is taking the photo.

It's all

cleverly set up.

How is that done,

there must be a biscuit on the side?

Some sort of small fish on the side

of the camera.

Well done, nanny.

High-level research about if you

have got a cold nose, it means you

are working too hard. I often have a

cold nose but I have quite a big

nose. Yes, I have quite an

extremity. My son asked me about six

months ago, dad, will miners be as

big as yours? I sent him to his

room. He has got his mother's nose.

This morning we're talking

about malnutrition in the elderly

in the UK.

BBC Breakfast has exclusively seen

a report which estimates 1.3

million older people

suffer from hunger.

Breakfast's John Maguire

can tell us more.

He's in St Albans

for us this morning.

Good morning to you, John. We are at

the Hertfordshire independent living

service kitchens in Saint all bones.

These are some of the meals on

wheels being loaded up into the

oven. We have all-day Breakfast on a

summer fruit crumble, looking down

the menu list, salmon all,

Cumberland sausage, steak and kidney

pie, 1500 meals across

Hertfordshire. Good morning. The

staff are loading up these boxes.

These are home from hospital packs,

the idea to make sure the people,

when they get home from hospital,

have some food they are able to cook

as well obviously as the daily meals

on wheels service. They can get

lunch and an afternoon tea. The

important thing is not only the food

but it's the contact and also here,

they have a community cafe, giving

it back, tried to tackle isolation

which is one of the main causes.

He always managed to finish what we

deliver to you?

Janet is receiving a

check up this morning from Annabel

Martin, a nutritionist on the

Hertfordshire independent living

service.

OK, and that's a slightly

more than you were last times that's

fantastic.

She is malnourished but

today there is good news, she is

putting on weight. Malnourishment is

defined as when the body doesn't get

the nutrients it needs to function

properly. A Parliamentary report

published today says it's a fact --

it affects 1.3 million elderly

people but it is an estimate. The

data comes from 2011 so it is for

updated information. Those who

provide meals on wheels suspect it's

a much bigger problem.

Well, we are

dealing will malnutrition on a daily

basis. We've done our own research

screening clients when they first

come to our meals on wheels service

and we discover that 44% of them are

malnourished to some extent. It

seems crazy to me that hunger

amongst the elderly is something

which is still prevalent in this

country.

And the best guest of the

cost of the problem is almost £12

billion and rising.

Partly about

ageing population, may be partly

through poverty, more so because of

isolation but none of that is the

reason for the government -- the

government not thinking more

imaginatively how it might spend a

very small part of the pension

Budget in a way which really helps

people in dire need.

Turn it up a

bit. The report makes several

recommendations. They include taking

winter Fuel Payments from the

wealthiest pensioners to help fund

community support. More meals on

wheels, not only to provide food but

also tackle isolation and

loneliness. And an increased role

from supermarkets to offer slower

shopping lanes and lunch clubs for

the install cafe. Hello, Ruth. Ruth

has just turned 91. Hi, Ruth. And

still cooks herself in the evening.

But has a daily lunch delivery. Oh,

that looks nice. That looks lovely.

She is well nourished and enjoys the

social contact.

I can't grumble

because they never miss, they always

come every day regardless of the

climate and the weather.

The report

recognises that government and local

authority budgets are under pressure

and social services directors say

they work needs proper funding.

The

money talked about in the report, in

my view, would be significantly

insignificant when we talk about the

amount of money that is required to

truly puts social care on the

sustainable footing.

National

governments across the UK say they

are taking steps to tackle

malnutrition and in England, for

example, the care act makes sure

that vulnerable people's needs are

met by the local authorities. But

today's report is a challenge to us

all to do something about it.

Let us pick on those issues with

Sarah ran in those reports. -- Sarah

Wren from that report. What would

make the biggest difference?

A lot

of people think it is normal to lose

weight as someone ages and it's not.

If someone is losing weight, it

shows something wrong. Recognising

that is a great starting point but

giving people access to services

like meals on wheels so they can

have really good food and daily

support to become properly

nourished.

Simon, the causes are

complex. Talk is through some and

what we can do?

Mainly disease

related malnutrition in England.

Also social and environmental

causes. Predominantly, disease

related undernutrition. That is

related to underlying GI disease,

neurological and respiratory

diseases, usually very

multifactorial LinkedIn with social

elements as well.

When it is so

complex it is presumably deep --

difficult.

It is and we had to

address it. We actually have to

tackle the problem topple it.

And

this report, very keen to highlight

the issues. Also to get some sense

of how widespread and prevalent to

tears.

A good opportunity to raise

the profile of this issue. We can do

an immense amount as a nation to

overcome this problem. It's helpful

to see it portrayed this way.

Thank

you very much indeed, much more

later. From Hertfordshire, we will

hand you to our

in half an hour.

Plenty more on our website

at the usual address.

Bye for now.

Hello.

This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker

and Louise Minchin.

It's Monday the 22nd of January.

Coming up on Breakfast today:

We look at the future of Vauxhall's

car plant in Ellesmere Port.

Hundreds of jobs have

already gone and there's

an important meeting today.

Steph will have the latest

Steph will have the latest for us.

Britain's new tennis hero,

Kyle Edmund, is in the quarter

finals of the Australian Open.

We'll ask his former coach

if he can go all the way.

And the awards season

is in full swing.

We'll bring you the winners

from the Screen Actors Guild Awards

in LA overnight.

Good morning.

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

arrested.

arrested. Boris Johnson will meet

his US counterpart, Rex Tillerson,

in London today, for talks around

Syria, Iran, and Yemen. Rex

Tillerson arrived last night. The

meeting comes after Donald Trump

refused to visit the UK. The day's

diplomacy will pave the way for the

meeting with the Prime Minister

plans this week in the Swiss resort

of Davos.

The US federal government

will remain closed today

after the Senate delayed a vote

on a budget measure,

which would have allowed civil

servants to go back to work.

Democrats want President Trump

to negotiate over immigration,

but Republicans say no deal

is possible while federal government

services are closed.

The last government shutdown

was in 2013, and lasted for 16 days.

Tokyo held its first missile

evacuation drill early this morning.

Volunteers to cover in

Volunteers to cover in underground

spaces that will double as bases in

the event of a North Korean strike.

Critics say it is a war game.

Hundreds of thousands of parents

have been left with no idea of how

good their local child centre is.

Partial inspections are taking

place. Gary Oldman has cemented his

status as favourite to win an Oscar

this year. He got the award for Best

Actor in a film at the Screen Actors

Guild awards tonight. He got it for

his role as Sir Winston Churchill in

The Darkest Hour.

Winston Churchill

reminds us we make a living with

what we get and make a life with

what we give. And you have given me

an enormous honour, and I am proud

to receive this magnificent award.

We spoke to him one and apparently

skiing. Organisers said they wanted

to give an example of how to pray

and compete. Honestly! They are

and compete. Honestly! They are not

even wearing ski trousers.

Fantastic!

I could watch this for

quite some time. Look at that!

It

looks like something out of a movie.

I will show that again later.

I will show that again later.

To

another more professional sport.

Australian Open tennis.

We have one Brit in the

quarter-finals of the Australian

Open.

No Andy murray.

England got off to a slow start,

but an unbeaten century

from Jos Buttler and 52 not out

for Chris Woakes helped them finish

on 302 for six.

Six time champion Novak Djokovic

will be in action at the conclusion.

It has been 24

It has been 24 hours of chaos for

Watford.

Watford have sacked their manager

and appointed another one

all in the space of a day.

Marco Silva was sacked on Sunday

morning with Watford 10th

in the Premier League, four points

avoid the relegation zone.

The club, blaming the need

for change on Everton

for their interest in

Silva before Christmas.

Spaniard Javi Gracia

is his replacement, his last club

was Russian side Rubin Kazan.

Silva is the eighth Premier League

manager to lose his job this season.

Harry Kane struck his 99th

Premier League goal for Tottenham,

but couldn't prevent them

from losing ground in the race

for the top four as his Spurs side

drew 1-1 at Southampton.

The home side made a fast start.

An own goal from Davinson Sanchez

gave Saints the lead in the opening

quarter of an hour.

Then came Kane's equaliser.

Spurs miss out on the chance to go

level with fourth-placed Liverpool

who take on Swansea tonight.

Southampton, meanwhile,

are still in the relegation zone.

You know, you watch everyone else

play and win, and you have to

decide. That makes it more

difficult. Obviously, there is still

a long way to go and many ups and

downs, I am sure. We just need to

keep working hard and keep fighting.

Holders, Celtic, have been drawn

Qualification for the quarter-finals

of Rugby Union's European Champions

Cup has been finalised. Holders,

Saracens, have scraped through and

Welsh side Scarlets have been

rewarded for their good form with a

home tie. There's no room for Wasps,

though. Despite running in four

tries past Ulster, other results

didn't go their way and they miss

out. The quarter-finals will be

played at the end of March.

Tommy Fleetwood has won his fourth

European Tour event by retaining his

Abu Dhabi Championship title.

Fleetwood started the day two shots

off the lead but hit eight birdies

in his final round to win by two,

ahead of fellow Englishman Ross

Fisher.

Rory McIlroy finished

two shots further back.

It was just important that we carry

on going forward. It is so well and

good having a great year. It was the

best year of my life. But we need to

take it to the next level. We need

to keep improving. We had to do that

this week, and it just feels like

another step in the right way.

Mark Allen has won the Masters

snooker for a first time.

In a tight match against

England's Kyren Wilson,

Allen made the only century break

in the 12th frame to make it seven

frames to five.

He went on to win 10-7.

And becomes the first

Northern Irishman since Denis Taylor

in 1987 to take the title.

I felt calm all week except for the

first session today. I was on edge.

As the match went on, I got

stronger. I felt more at ease with

myself. Yeah, I am just very, very

pleased to be on the right end of it

for a change.

She finally looked around. And Roger

Federer is through. Just letting you

know.

England got off to a slow start,

but an unbeaten century

from Jos Buttler and 52 not out

for Chris Woakes helped them finish

on 302 for six.

Australia were in contention before

some impressive bowling

from Mark Wood meant the hosts

needed an unlikely 22 off

the final over.

British skiier, Dave Ryding,

clocked the fastest time of the day

on his second run in the World Cup

slalom in Kitzbuhel yesterday.

The 31-year-old was 25th

after his first run,

having made a big mistake.

But he was more than six seconds

quicker on his second,

moving him up to

ninth place overall.

And finally, Cristiano Ronaldo's

modelling career may be

on the line this morning.

His face is still there, you can

relax.

He scored twice in Real Madrid's 7-1

thrashing of Deportivo yesterday,

but in doing so, he took

a boot to the face.

There was concern amongst the Madrid

staff for some time,

as he needed lengthy medical

treatment for a cut to the cheek.

But as he got up to his feet,

what was the first thing

he asked for?

A mirror, or rather, a phone,

to make sure the killer looks

are still there.

Perhaps it was a quick selfie. No,

just checking.

That is a nasty

injury.

injury.

Welcome to the world of the

modern footballer. If they score

goals in the first half, obviously,

they will be picked up by the

cameras as they walk off. A few of

them they check it out.

Especially

Cristiano Ronaldo. Thank you.

Good morning.

There's a stark warning

from the head of the British Army

this morning.

General Sir Nick Carter says

Russia's building an increasingly

aggressive military with weapons

the UK would struggle to match.

His speech later on today at

the Royal United Services Institute

will also be interpreted as a call

for more money for the armed forces.

Joining us now from our London

newsroom is Colonel Rupert Wieloch,

a former senior British

Military Commander in Libya.

Good morning. Thank you for joining

us. We know a lot of what General

Sir Nick Carter will say today. What

are the key concerns?

I certainly

agree with General Sir Nick Carter

that there is a Russian threat out

there. I visited Russia last year

for the May Day parade. I found

their capability was awesome, not

only in the conventional sense, but

also, the developments with cyber

warfare. I think it is right to be

worried about what Russia is doing.

I think, in terms of what he needs

to set out today, the reasons why

the risk to Britain are increasing

at this time, and why we need to

make sure the armed forces and their

commitments are carried through.

That stock about the risks. What are

the risks?

the risks? -- Let's talk about the.

Is Britain a target?

We have

Is Britain a target?

We have seen

how Russia works. It is eyeing up

the Baltics. We have advanced Nato

contributions in places like Estonia

to make sure they are protected.

Russia has been operating in Syria

with much excess. Again, you would

have heard about the developments.

-- success. They have been doing

exercises all over Russia, in

particular, ones on the European

front.

One other thing that came out

in 2016, Russian artillery and

dreams destroyed two Ukrainian

infantry battalions in 15 minutes.

How do we combat that?

The strategy

and tactics of Nato, you do not want

to give it away. But in terms of the

capability, one of the most

important aspects is to deter any

aggression. You can only do that

with a strong army and a forward

presence. I think, again, you need

backup to sustain that. That means a

significant size in terms of the

army. People will be working out

what that size. Any aspect, any

thought, of reducing the army below

the numbers we have at the moment,

about 80,000, I think that would put

that at risk.

We have heard this

over and over again that we need

more money for defence. The money is

tight. Why should it go to defence

rather than any where else?

There

are two aspects to that. The first

is that if you go back to the

planning round in 2012 when the army

was reduced to 80,000, there was a

promise made of an uplift to make

sure the army of 2020 was properly

equipped and capable. It seems to me

the government of the moment is

threatening to reduce that, and I

think it would be a big mistake. Go

on.

Thank you. I just want to ask

one thing as well. We talked heavily

about the modern army and forces on

the ground, what about what is going

on in cyberspace? How dangerous is

what is happening there regular it

is very dangerous, but not only in

the Russian area, it is also in the

Chinese and terraced area. -- there?

-- terrorist. International

terrorists are good at using social

media and images and messages which

can influence young people. We have

seen an enormous uplift in our

rivals in that area. Money needs to

be spent there.

Yes, it does. There

is confusion between what I would

describe as money for security and

money for the Armed Forces. The

Armed Forces are designed to help in

terms of Britain's foreign policy

whereas the cyber threat is very

much an internal Home Office type of

activity. For the last 5-6 years, we

have confused money between security

and defence. We need to get back to

the state where defence and money

for the Armed Forces is ringfenced

and not able to be taken away for at

home such as cyber defence.

touch mild than yesterday. Well, it

certainly been a wintry weekend.

Around about ten centimetres of snow

in Cumbria. Across parts of Highland

Scotton, still 26. -- still 26

centimetres of snow. A lot of snow

will be falling out. Yesterday, many

of us saw temperatures struggling to

get above freezing. By tomorrow

afternoon, we will all be back in

double figures. Things are turning

milder. Some of that mild are moving

in. The yellow colours returning to

the map through the day. Got some

outbreaks. Showers in the north and

West Corp. -- western Scotland. It

is a largely dry story towards the

Midlands and East Anglia that

southern England, rain to stop the

morning. Quite a wet morning commute

to Kent, Somerset, much of Devon and

Cornwall. Just the odd isolated

shower around. Many of us, and

improving day. We will slowly lose

that rain from the south-east of

England and the showers across

Scotland believes. Drying up in

Northern Ireland, northern England,

a little bit of sunshine breaking

through this afternoon, especially

towards the east of higher ground

and those temperatures are a lot of

milder than they have been. Selley

and the down a largely quiet and dry

note. Quite chilly but through the

second half of the night, that is

the winds really pick up. Outbreaks

of rain working in from the west.

Many of us wake up to a soggy start

to Tuesday morning. Frost free. Much

milder in place. When you in the

cloud and the outbreaks of rain, a

chilly start but through the day,

these bands of rain will shift

slowly eastwards. Perhaps sunnier,

heading in from the north-west but

squally showers set to continue for

all of us but temperatures will be

around ten, 13 degrees. Much milder

than they have been. Wednesday,

another wet and windy day. The heavy

spell of rain moving eastwards

across the country. Temperatures

around eight, 13 degrees but

remaining unsettled through the

middle of the week. A hint of

something a little bit colder once

again but not as cold as a wintry

weather we had last week. We will

talk about winter kit now. You've

got to dress for success.

talk about winter kit now. You've

got to dress for success. Only a

couple of weeks from the start of

the Winter Olympics and today is the

day members of Team GB have their

kids unveiled.

I love these days.

Jane is there where athletes will

get suited and booted. Good morning.

Like getting a new coat. Seriously?

Come on, it is better than that. The

next three days, this will be Team

GB HQ because this is where they are

getting kitted out. This is all the

kit they will possibly need. To take

them to Pyeongchang. And hopefully,

hopefully onto a podium. M K is the

chef demission. Did I say that

correctly? You're the in charge.

Tell us why this jacket is so

important?

This is the one you will

see the team in the Opening Ceremony

dressed in but more importantly on

the podium, this is the podium

jacket. Hopefully warm for what will

be a cold Olympics.

And hopefully

very successful.

The target is five

medals at least, one more than we

got four years ago. We want to keep

going forward from there.

You are

the man in charge then and hopefully

you will be the man leading us to

more gold success. What will the

atmosphere be like?

A great

experience we hope. They have been

selected so this is the time to get

the rings on the chest, which will

be a great moment. Come in as a

bobsleigh, a skeleton or a curling

athlete and Leavers one team, Team

GB.

Good luck with everything. Hang

around for a bit. Michael's game in

the past was curling. We have

something special. You will be

chatting to some of the key

athletes, busy's athletes, in a

little bit, including Lizzie Arnold.

She will be on the sofa soon but we

have some of the Team GB ambassadors

around here. Good morning, ladies.

Give us a wave. Good morning. Jenny

Jones, I know this isn't your sport.

Amy, this isn't your sport but take

it away. Let's have a go on the

curling. Not bad. Not bad. Go on.

Oh, I think Amy Williams, Amy

Williams, you just about nailed it.

A bit more practice. There is ice,

though. Bake ice.

Skeleton.

Fantastic.

Jenny Jones?

Snowboarder,

no ice hopefully.

How exciting is

it? You have been through this

before. What is going through your

head?

It's really exciting. You feel

that you are actually part of the

team, are very proud moment but that

the T-shirt on, the jumpers on so

you initially don't think much of it

but when you do it, you are blown

away.

Eight years ago from Vancouver

and I remember coming to work

kitting out day and having those

five rings on your chest, the of it

is such an emotional moment that you

are suddenly representing your

country at the highest level so this

is really exciting.

What is

possible, what you might be wearing.

You are at the Opening Ceremony

behind that Union Jack flag and you

have the rings and Team GB on you

and it's a symbol but...

What do you

think of it this year? It's very

blue.

We get to have a proper look

in a bit.

Can you do some modelling

for us? Modelling and curling. What

you think is going to happen?

Skiing

and snowboarding for freestylers is

looking great. I think of got a

strong team in that department and

if we look at skeleton and things...

We have our greatest team so far.

With the most amount of potential

athletes winning medals. Skeleton,

we always very strong. Let's hope we

get another one with Lizzie or

Laura. I have my money on a lease

Christie.

Literally?

No, I haven't.

You seem interested in that. Are you

going to take some tips? We are

going to do that a little later,

definitely. We will chat to you more

later. The hell kitting out ceremony

is important. What is happening in

Russia with the doping ceremony,

they are having their kitting out.

They have a minimal team carefully

selected and they haven't been able

to use their full pay to the colours

because of that scandal and they

have gone to something very neutral,

they have had to. Something beige.

I

haven't seen it. At least we are

going to be out there with our

Blues, reds, whites. Flying the flag

of Great Britain. We always do

special things in each days of the

team always looks exactly the same.

You sit in the food hall. Go Team

GB.

We are going to chat to you more

later. Back to you now.

I completely

and utterly share their excitement.

There is nothing like getting new

kit. I have kids envy.

Oh, look at

that. That's what she was saying. A

guy called Chris Young put an appeal

on social media trying to find his

teacher called Lynden Ward who looks

after school in the 1970s. He has

bought a book out. He launched this

to try and find Miss Ward. He is

still looking for her.

still looking for her. I'm sure you

are trying. Banks are telling us

about your favourite teachers.

Beverley says Miss James taught

music, inspire my love of musical

theatre and opera. Katie says my

favourite teacher was called Mrs

Tuck, the director of special

schools for Hertfordshire and wrote

loads of books on special education,

made a massive difference. Caroline

says Mrs Field had faith in me when

others didn't. She said I could

achieve all I could and I did. Do

keep in touch. My favourite teacher

was my Spanish teacher. Tennis at

lunchtime and did a bit of

everything. A guy called Mr lowell.

I did a history degree because of

him. Let's get the news and travel

where you

Plenty more on our website

at the usual address.

Hello.

Very good morning.

This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker

and Louise Minchin.

The head of the Army says Britain's

military needs more money to match

potential enemies

on the battlefield.

General Sir Nick Carter's warning

comes after Russia practised

simulated attacks

across northern Europe.

It's Monday the 22nd of January.

Also this morning:

More turmoil for UKIP.

The leader, Henry Bolton,

refuses to step down,

but the party's deputy resigns

saying he's got to go.

We have first sight

of a parliamentary report

into malnutrition with the elderly.

We are asking what are the causes

and cures for malnutrition.

One week on from the collapse of the

construction

construction giant, Carillion, I'm

asking how to minimise the cost to

taxpayers.

In sport, the defending champion,

Roger Federer, is in action

at the Australian Open,

looking to emulate yesterday's

achievement of Kyle Edmund

in reaching the quarter-finals.

And there has been reduced excess at

the Screen Actors Guild in

Hollywood. -- British success.

The

award goes to Gary Oldman.

And Sarah

has the weather.

A lot of lying snow in the north

of the country, but milder air

pushing through all regions today.

Most of us should the brightness as

well. All of the details in 15

minutes. Thank you.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

The head of the Army will warn today

that Britain's military risks

falling behind that

of its enemies unless it

gets additional investment.

In a speech to the defence think

tank, the Royal United Services

Institute, General Sir Nick Carter

is expected to say that Russia now

has superior battlefield

capabilities to the UK,

and poses a significant threat

in terms of cyber warfare.

Simon Clemison reports.

Images showing what Russia said

was a strike on Syria.

But the rockets come not

from the Mediterranean Sea,

but the Caspian Sea,

more than 900 miles away.

The head of the Army says Russia

is building an increasingly

aggressive military,

which the UK is struggling to match.

Russia has also been simulating

attacks closer to home,

conducting large-scale exercises.

This, the heavily armed Klinongrad

bordering Lithuania.

General Sir Nick Carter will warn

Britain must take notice

of what is going on around us

and keep up, or we could be

massively constrained.

He will say the threats are not

thousands of miles away,

but are now on our doorstep.

He says cyber warfare can also

disrupt the lives of normal people.

One of the most important aspects

is to deter any aggression.

You can only do that with a forward

army and forward presence. We need a

significant size in terms of the

army. Any thought of reducing the

army below the numbers we have at

the moment, about 80,000, I think it

would put security at risk.

The head of the army is not saying

this in so many words,

but one way to avoid the possibility

of Britain falling behind in combat

could be money from the Chancellor

here at Number 11.

He certainly won't

want to see any cuts.

The speech will be made

with the approval of

the Defence Secretary who has

already said a 2% rise should be

a base,

not a ceiling.

No word yet from the Chancellor.

Simon Cleminson, BBC News.

UKIP's deputy leader, Margot Parker,

has resigned from her position

after the party's leader,

Henry Bolton, refused to stand down

following a vote of no

confidence yesterday.

She told the BBC that Mr Bolton's

refusal had left the party

in "limbo" and that he should go

"sooner rather than later."

sOur political correspondent,

Chris Mason, joins us from

Westminster.

What happens next?

There will be an

emergency general meeting for the

party which will take place within

one month. It has not yet been

scheduled. What will happen is that

as long as 250 members of the party

turns up, that makes it legitimate,

and there is a vote among those

members to decide whether Bolton

stays or goes. He is absolutely

determined to cling on.

determined to cling on. He won the

leadership race recently relatively

comfortably. If you can assemble in

our support is at the meeting, it is

entirely possible despite the fact

his deputy has resigned because he

will not go, despite the fact

everyone on the national executive

other than him says he issued

resigned, he might still be able to

cling on. Word around these parts

talk about Jeremy Corbyn and how his

members wanted him to stay despite

his party wanting him to leave, and

he is still here.

Thank you very

much. We will talk about it in the

next two days. Thank you. -- few

days.

The Foreign Secretary,

Boris Johnson, will meet his US

counterpart, Rex Tillerson,

in London today for talks on Syria,

Iran and Yemen.

It comes after President Donald

Trump refused to visit the UK

and open the new US embassy.

Here's our diplomatic

correspondent, James Landale.

The US federal government

will remain closed today

after the Senate delayed a vote

on a budget measure,

which would have allowed civil

servants to go back to work.

Democrats want President Trump

to negotiate over immigration,

but Republicans say no deal

is possible while federal government

services are closed.

The last government shutdown

was in 2013, and lasted for 16 days.

Britain should prepare for a much

more economically optimistic 2018

because global growth

is better than predicted.

That's the argument

of Lord Jim O'Neill,

the former Conservative Treasury

minister and Remain supporter.

He says the gloomy predictions

of the possible effects of Brexit

are likely to be "dwarfed"

by the more positive figures.

Hundreds of people have paid

their respects to the Cranberries

singer, Dolores O'Riordan,

in her home city of Limerick.

She died suddenly in London

last week, aged 46.

Large crowds gathered

at St Joseph's Church

to view her open coffin ahead

of her funeral tomorrow.

Nearly 1,000 children's centres

across England have not been

inspected by Ofsted

for more than five years.

The government temporarily suspended

inspections in 2015.

The charity Action for Children says

it's left hundreds of thousands

of parents with no idea how

good their local centre is,

as Marc Ashdown reports.

Gary Oldman has cemented his status

as favourite to win

an Oscar this year.

He won the award for Best Actor

at the Screen Actors

Guild Awards overnight.

It's for his role as Sir Winston

Churchill in the Darkest Hour.

The British actor was overcome with

emotion as he accepted his prize.

Churchill reminds us we make

a living with what we get and make

a life with what we give.

And you have given me an enormous

honour, and I am proud to receive

this magnificent award.

Now here's some positive news in the

gender equality movement in

Hollywood. I think I

Hollywood. I think I called her

Minnie the Mouse earlier. There's no

"the" in it

Minnie Mouse is finally

due to receive a star

"the" in it receive a star

on the Hollywood Walk of Fame today.

She's been in the entertainment

industry for 90 years,

and many Disney fans

say her star is long overdue.

Her beloved Mickey was honoured

with a star four decades ago.

Many of her fellow Disney characters

already have stars on the Walk

of Fame, including Donald Duck,

Tinker Bell, Winnie The Poo,

Snow White, and Kermit the Frog.

Miss Piggy, however,

does not have a star of her own.

All is not right.

It needs to be

looked at.

It's a week on since the collapse

of construction services company

Carillion.

Many questions remain unanswered,

including the overall cost

to the taxpayer of its failure.

Steph's here to try and shed some

light on where we are

now

and how the Government

is trying to move forward.

We will talk about where we are now

and what the government is trying to

do.

It was this time last week I

announced the company was going into

liquidation because it was basically

drowning under the weight of its

debt, £1.3 million. We found out

more about the financials behind it.

We knew they only had $27 billion

left in the bank when they went into

administration, sorry, liquidation.

Sorry, million. We have been talking

to many workers about it and it is a

mixed picture. Some have been taken

on by other companies. For example,

the HS2 Project. They have carried

on in jobs paid by the government,

services. It is a mixed picture. It

is especially uncertain for

subcontractors and suppliers. We

have heard various MPs talking about

it. The chief Secretary to the

Treasury, Liz Truss, but we do not

know what the cost will be to the

taxpayer. Chris Grayling, the tramp

of secretary, will be in front of a

Select Committee today explaining

why the government did not do much

about it. The Prime Minister says

she wants to clamp down on anyone

lying in these situations like

bosses and companies.

And pensions

are important to many of them.

Many

people have asked about pensions.

Carillion have 27,000 people

receiving a pension or are set to

receive one. It is rejected by the

pension fund, which is good news.

People will still get them. There is

a lot of money in it. It is designed

to help people when a company goes

bust. There are £34 billion of

assets in this fund. There is enough

money. If you are already retired,

you will get the full amount. What

is more tricky is if you have not

retired yet, you will get 90%. You

will lose basically 10% of it. But,

yeah, people were worried about

that, but it is much better news for

pensioners.

Many people are getting

in contact to be we will try to

answer more questions. -- in

contact.

Former Pensions Minister Sir Steve

Webb, who is the director of policy

at the Royal London Pensions

Company, joins us now

from our newsroom in Bristol.

Thank you. I know you were

listening. What is the latest advice

for those impacted by the

liquidation of Carillion last week?

Some workers will be completely

unaffected. If you joined Carillion

recently and have a new style

pension, a pot of money with your

name on it, it is unaffected. That

is good news that be if you are

already in the pension scheme, it

will continue to be paid. Sooner or

later, the pension protection fund

will be in touch with you. There is

nothing you can do to change the

situation. As she said, it is a

robust insurance scheme.

She also

mentioned the words from Prime

Minister Theresa May, she wants to

crack down on executives in order to

protect pensions of workers. We have

heard this before from the Prime

Minister. What do you think of the

proposals and what will they entail?

One of the challenges with a profit

in company if it wants to invest it

back in the business and pay-out to

shareholders and senior executives.

There is an issue of the balance

between bat. With Carillion, one of

the concerns was dividends where

increased year after year with a

huge hole in the pension scheme.

Regulators should be able to say the

pension schemes and employers, too

much money is going out in dividends

and top pay and not enough to the

pension. We heard Sports Direct last

year. Now we have Carillion. 5500 of

these schemes are out there and two

thirds of them have a deficit.

I

wanted to talk about that. 5.5

thousand. How many are in deficit?

Two thirds. It is like a race. There

can be a deficit allowed, but there

has to be a plan to fix it. In

normal circumstances, employers will

fix it over a 5- ten year period.

What often happens is sometimes

fortunes can change quickly before

it is plugged. There will be more

insolvencies and pension funds going

into the pension protection fund.

Not if, but how many.

Many people

involved in the scheme is have asked

questions. What is your advice for

those impacted?

pensions will be paid, there is a

good solid skin behind it so there

is no need to panic so it is right

the government to look at these

things. It is a matter of urgency.

The danger could be years away from

changing the law of the land.

Really

handy advice. Thank you very much

for joining us.

It was a bitter weekend, wasn't it?

It really was. Hope you have some

better news on the horizon.

It really was. Hope you have some

better news on the horizon.

Love it or loathe it, we had a lot

of lying snow around that most of

the snow across northern England and

Scotland and Northern Ireland will

be falling out of the next day or

two because temperatures are going

to be on the rise. If you compare

temperatures we saw yesterday

afternoon, many places struggling to

get much above freezing. Still

holding on to a little bit of cold

air this morning, first thing. But

much milder our sweeping in from the

south-west. Through today and on

into tomorrow. If you are heading

out tomorrow, across Scotland, quite

a bit of wet and windy weather.

Showers in the north and west. Most

of these showers should ease away,

and in improving picture. Try and

frost free. Some heady bursts of

rain across the South coast of

England. Much of Devon and Cornwall

should stay dry. Quite cloudy but

dry across Wales. In improving

picture. The rain clears away from

the south-east of England. A few

showers towards the west of

Scotland.

Scotland. Anywhere towards the east

of higher ground, we will just about

see those temperatures, at least in

the South into double figures in

through the first part of tonight,

fairly chilly and mostly dry. Things

are set to change as rain sweeps in

from the West. The wind picking up

as well. Quite a wet and windy start

for Tuesday morning but frost free

with the milder in charge and that

they will pile in from the

south-west as we head through the

day tomorrow. Certainly milder but

we will see a lot of windy and wet

weather sweeping from west to east

across the country during Tuesday.

Some heady bursts of southern

England and Scotland through the

morning. 'S quarterly wins as well.

It will feel pretty unsubtle.

Although the temperatures are much

milder, it won't feel particularly

pleasant with outbreaks of rain and

strong wind. Wednesday, more of the

same. Another front from west to

east. A spell of fairly heavy rain.

Brisk winds as well and return to

some sunshine and showers from the

West. It looks like the temperatures

will dip a bit towards the end of

the week, staying fairly unsettled

but certainly today, not a bad day

and temperatures are on the rise.

This morning we're talking

about malnutrition in the elderly

in the UK.

BBC Breakfast has exclusively seen

a report which estimates 1.3

million older people

suffer from hunger.

Breakfast's John Maguire

can tell us more.

Good morning to you, John.

We are at the Hertfordshire

Independent Living

Service kitchens in St Albans.

It is a well oiled machine. You can

It is a well oiled machine. You can

see Lizzie is taking out one of the

meals. Stabbing it with the

temperature probe, it needs to be 83

degrees. That is an all-day

Breakfast which is one of the most

popular things that the folks who

take advantage of this enjoy. You

can see that they get an afternoon

tea as well. Around £4 55, I think

it is, for a meal. The afternoon tea

goes on top of that. The other thing

that is very interesting about where

we are at the moment in Saint Alden

is, there is also a community cafe

here and I think we got a

good-looking full Breakfast about to

be taken by Gemma off to one of the

tables. Something to look forward

to. The community cafe offers a

different aspect because one of the

things about meals on wheels, places

like this, it's not just about the

food and nutrition, it's about that

social contact, tackling isolation.

Do you always manage to finish

what we deliver to you?

Yeah.

Janet is receiving a check up-this

morning from Annabel Martin,

a nutritionist from

the Hertfordshire Independent

Living Service.

OK, and that's a slightly more

than you were last time

so that's fantastic.

She is malnourished but today

there is good news,

putting on weight.

Malnourishment is defined

as when the body doesn't get

the nutrients it needs

to function properly.

A parliamentary report published

today says it affects 1.3 million

elderly people,

but it's an estimate.

The data comes from 2011 so it's

calling for updated information.

Those who provide Meals on Wheels

suspect it's a much bigger problem.

Well, we're dealing

with malnutrition on a daily basis.

We've done our own research

screening clients when they first

come to our Meals on Wheels service

and we discover that 44% of them

are malnourished to some extent.

It seems crazy to me that hunger

amongst the elderly is something

which is still prevalent

in this country.

And the best guess for the cost

of the problem is almost £12

billion and rising.

Partly about ageing population,

maybe partly through poverty,

more so because of isolation

but none of that is a reason

for the government not thinking more

imaginatively how it might spend

a very small part of the pension

budget in a way which really helps

people in dire need.

Turn it up a bit.

The report makes several

recommendations.

They include taking winter fuel

payments from the wealthiest

pensioners to help fund

community support.

More Meals on Wheels,

not only to provide food but also

tackle isolation and loneliness.

And an increased role

from supermarkets to offer slower

shopping lanes and lunch clubs

for the in-store cafe.

Hello, Ruth.

Ruth has just turned 91...

Hi, Ruth.

..and still cooks

herself in the evening

but has a daily lunch delivery.

Lemon chicken today.
