0:00:07 > 0:00:15Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:00:17 > 0:00:20Four in five overweight children will battle ill health for the rest

0:00:20 > 0:00:22of their lives, according to a report out today.

0:00:22 > 0:00:25The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says England

0:00:25 > 0:00:28is falling behind Scotland and Wales in trying to improve children's

0:00:28 > 0:00:36health, and says they deserve better.

0:00:42 > 0:00:44Good morning, it is Tuesday 23 January.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48Also this morning: Boris Johnson is expected to push for an extra

0:00:48 > 0:00:51£100 million a week for the NHS, as the health service struggles

0:00:51 > 0:00:56with winter pressures.

0:00:56 > 0:01:01It is just completely under strain, bursting at the seams.

0:01:01 > 0:01:04After three days of shutdown, Donald Trump signs a bill to restart

0:01:04 > 0:01:05the US government.

0:01:05 > 0:01:082,500 business leaders have gathered at the annual World Economic Forum

0:01:08 > 0:01:10event in Davos.

0:01:10 > 0:01:13This morning, I am looking at what is on the agenda.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15Good morning.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19In sport: Britain's Kyle Edmund is 2-1 sets up against Grigor Dimitrov

0:01:19 > 0:01:22in the quarter-finals of the Australian Open.

0:01:22 > 0:01:25And we will be keeping you up to date on his progress

0:01:25 > 0:01:32throughout the programme.

0:01:32 > 0:01:34Come on!So exciting.

0:01:34 > 0:01:38And Matt has the weather.

0:01:38 > 0:01:42It is not just the Australian Open where things are hotting up, 15

0:01:42 > 0:01:46degrees for one or two today, but a little bit of rain during your

0:01:46 > 0:01:49morning rush hour. All the details coming up later.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50Good morning.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53First, our main story: England is lagging behind Scotland and Wales

0:01:53 > 0:01:56when it comes to introducing measures to improve child health,

0:01:56 > 0:01:58according to a new report.

0:01:58 > 0:02:00The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says children

0:02:00 > 0:02:02deserve better, but Westminster insists it has world-leading

0:02:02 > 0:02:03plans in place.

0:02:03 > 0:02:07The college also says four out of five young people who are obese

0:02:07 > 0:02:10will battle ill health for the rest of their lives.

0:02:10 > 0:02:16Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes has more.

0:02:16 > 0:02:18Being healthy when you are young makes a big difference

0:02:18 > 0:02:22to your chances of good health in later life.

0:02:22 > 0:02:26At an after-school gym session in Manchester are sisters Grace

0:02:26 > 0:02:28and Mia.

0:02:28 > 0:02:33Both of them enjoy the rewards a workout gives them.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35Fitter, confident.

0:02:35 > 0:02:38Just happier with yourself, yeah.

0:02:38 > 0:02:46Personally, I just feel good about myself.

0:02:46 > 0:02:51Think I've done well, and achieve better stuff.

0:02:51 > 0:02:54But when it comes to the health of children and young people,

0:02:54 > 0:02:58the report out last year showed the UK was lagging behind other

0:02:58 > 0:02:58European nations.

0:02:58 > 0:03:04So, one year on, has the situation improved?

0:03:04 > 0:03:07In Scotland, there is praise for a new mental health strategy,

0:03:07 > 0:03:09and better support for mothers who breastfeed.

0:03:09 > 0:03:11Likewise in Wales, where a smoking ban in playgrounds

0:03:11 > 0:03:12has been introduced.

0:03:12 > 0:03:15But the report says cuts to public health budgets in England

0:03:15 > 0:03:18are hitting children's services hard, and the issue doesn't get

0:03:18 > 0:03:19the same political attention.

0:03:19 > 0:03:21A healthy child makes a healthy adult.

0:03:21 > 0:03:24A healthy adult is a productive adult, and a productive adult

0:03:24 > 0:03:26population is good for the economy.

0:03:26 > 0:03:28It makes no sense whatsoever to not really target the preservation

0:03:28 > 0:03:30of health in childhood.

0:03:30 > 0:03:33The Department of Health in England says it has world-leading plans

0:03:33 > 0:03:35in place to combat obesity and improve mental health,

0:03:35 > 0:03:43and the sugar tax is funding breakfast clubs and sports.

0:03:43 > 0:03:45Push back with your legs...

0:03:45 > 0:03:48But this report warns, if our children and young people

0:03:48 > 0:03:51don't get a good healthy start in life, they are more likely

0:03:51 > 0:03:52to struggle as adults.

0:03:52 > 0:03:53Dominic Hughes, BBC News.

0:03:53 > 0:03:56Just after 7:00am this morning, we will be speaking to the president

0:03:56 > 0:03:59of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health,

0:03:59 > 0:03:59Neena Modi.

0:03:59 > 0:04:02Concerns about the financial pressures on the NHS in England

0:04:02 > 0:04:05are expected to be discussed at a Cabinet meeting this morning.

0:04:05 > 0:04:07It is understood the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson,

0:04:07 > 0:04:11will call for the service to receive an extra £100 million a week.

0:04:11 > 0:04:13He will make his case when the Health Secretary,

0:04:13 > 0:04:17Jeremy Hunt, gives an update on how the NHS is coping this winter.

0:04:17 > 0:04:20It comes as fresh evidence has emerged of the intense strain

0:04:20 > 0:04:23hospitals across the UK are now under.

0:04:23 > 0:04:29It's just completely under strain, bursting at the seams.

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Come this time next year, the same will happen again, and again, and

0:04:33 > 0:04:39again, and again. And we'll see all these pieces in the news, and the

0:04:39 > 0:04:44horrendous trolley waits, but it doesn't seem to change.

0:04:44 > 0:04:51Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us now.

0:04:51 > 0:04:55It is interesting that we are suddenly seeing Boris Johnson

0:04:55 > 0:04:59possibly going to wade in and ask for more muggy.It is very

0:04:59 > 0:05:05interesting, because the last I checked Boris Johnson was Secretary

0:05:05 > 0:05:08of State for the Foreign Office, so what on earth is he doing

0:05:08 > 0:05:11intervening in the Cabinet meeting about the Health Service, and

0:05:11 > 0:05:15telling the world in advance but that is exactly what he is going to

0:05:15 > 0:05:19do? Well, you will remember that he has a ton of form when it comes to

0:05:19 > 0:05:23making bold promises about NHS funding. He stood in front of the

0:05:23 > 0:05:28vote leave bus with the big promise about Health Service funding during

0:05:28 > 0:05:31the referendum campaign, which critics said was a load of nonsense

0:05:31 > 0:05:37and certainly was regularly challenged. His argument, though, is

0:05:37 > 0:05:40that the Conservatives have to make an argument around the NHS. They

0:05:40 > 0:05:49can't be ceding ground to Labour. Labour have made a similar promise

0:05:49 > 0:05:55of about £5 million extra for the NHS budget, -- £5 billion. It just

0:05:55 > 0:06:00shows how intense the debate is, now, at the top table in politics

0:06:00 > 0:06:06around the NHS, as this winter crisis rolls on.We will see what he

0:06:06 > 0:06:08does actually say in the end, thank you very much.

0:06:08 > 0:06:11Car manufacturing giant Jaguar Land Rover, has announced it

0:06:11 > 0:06:13will cut production at its Halewood plant in Merseyside.

0:06:13 > 0:06:16The firm had reported experiencing a record year,

0:06:16 > 0:06:19but says it is reviewing its plans because of a fall in demand

0:06:19 > 0:06:22because of uncertainty over Brexit and consumer concerns over

0:06:22 > 0:06:25the future of diesel vehicles.

0:06:25 > 0:06:30President Trump has signed a bill to fund the US government for the next

0:06:30 > 0:06:342.5 weeks, ending a shutdown of federal services. Congress passed

0:06:34 > 0:06:37the legislation after the Democrats accepted the promise of a broad

0:06:37 > 0:06:41debate on the issue of immigration. Our Washington correspondent David

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Willis has the details.

0:06:42 > 0:06:46The motion is agreed to.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50The vote brought a high-stakes game of political brinkmanship to an end,

0:06:50 > 0:06:53and will keep the American government open for another 2.5

0:06:53 > 0:06:54weeks.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56I know there's great relief that this episode is coming

0:06:56 > 0:06:57to an end.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01This shutdown did not need to happen.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05However brief, it inflicted needless costs on the country.

0:07:05 > 0:07:09Democrats had insisted on tying a budget deal to what they see

0:07:09 > 0:07:13as the leading civil rights issue of our time,

0:07:13 > 0:07:17the plight of the so-called Dreamers, young people brought

0:07:17 > 0:07:25to this country illegally, who are now facing deportation.

0:07:25 > 0:07:28After several days of deadlock, the Senate majority leader,

0:07:28 > 0:07:31Mitch McConnell, offered a concession - a pledge

0:07:31 > 0:07:34to debate their situation before the deportations are due to begin.

0:07:34 > 0:07:37The Republican leader and I have come to an arrangement...

0:07:37 > 0:07:40It was enough to get the Democrats to sign off on the spending bill,

0:07:40 > 0:07:43but whether it will be enough to protect the Dreamers

0:07:43 > 0:07:48is another question.

0:07:48 > 0:07:51Despite bipartisan sympathy for their plight, there are those

0:07:51 > 0:07:54who also want to see legislation that will deter others

0:07:54 > 0:07:55from following their example.

0:07:55 > 0:07:58A wall along the Mexican border is one plan, a project many

0:07:58 > 0:08:01Democrats find unpalatable, but which President Trump has made

0:08:01 > 0:08:05the centrepiece of his immigration policy.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Before signing the spending bill into law tonight,

0:08:07 > 0:08:11he issued a statement saying his administration would make

0:08:11 > 0:08:14a long-term deal on immigration if and only if it is good

0:08:14 > 0:08:17for our country.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19Money, equality and globalisation are set to top the agenda

0:08:19 > 0:08:22during the first full day of the World Economic Forum

0:08:22 > 0:08:24in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.

0:08:24 > 0:08:27President Trump, Theresa May, Sir Elton John, and the actor

0:08:27 > 0:08:30Cate Blanchett are expected to be among the 2,500 world leaders,

0:08:30 > 0:08:32business representatives and celebrities attending the event.

0:08:32 > 0:08:34Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed is also there.

0:08:34 > 0:08:42Why is Davos so significant?

0:08:45 > 0:08:52What is on the agenda today?Well, I think that the tone here, and I have

0:08:52 > 0:08:56been coming to Davos for the best part of ten years, but I think the

0:08:56 > 0:09:02tone in some respects is one of optimism. Global growth is being

0:09:02 > 0:09:06upgraded to its strongest levels since the financial crisis in 2007

0:09:06 > 0:09:12and 2008. But within that optimism there are some real issues.

0:09:12 > 0:09:17Fractures, as it is called here, issues around equality, the haves

0:09:17 > 0:09:23and have-nots, and issues around gender equality, as Louise

0:09:23 > 0:09:28mentioned. Just take the fact that here, there are far fewer female

0:09:28 > 0:09:31than male delegates. So today we will see big speeches from Narendra

0:09:31 > 0:09:37Modi, the Prime Minister of India. But everyone is looking forward to

0:09:37 > 0:09:42the big moment at the end of the week, on Friday. President Trump

0:09:42 > 0:09:46arrives in Davos, the first President since the year 2000 to

0:09:46 > 0:09:50come here. What outlook for the global economy will he sat, and what

0:09:50 > 0:09:55tone will he said, will be the most interesting event here at the end of

0:09:55 > 0:10:00the week.Lovely, thank you very much. Plenty more from Davos

0:10:00 > 0:10:04throughout the programme, and Steph will look at what is on the agenda.

0:10:04 > 0:10:06Police in Yorkshire looking for a missing schoolgirl have found

0:10:06 > 0:10:08a body in a river.

0:10:08 > 0:10:11Ursula Keogh, who is from Halifax, was last seen on Monday afternoon

0:10:11 > 0:10:12dressed in her school uniform.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death,

0:10:15 > 0:10:17but are continuing to establish the cause.

0:10:17 > 0:10:25Her family have been told.

0:10:28 > 0:10:31Around 1500 people have been evacuated from a nightclub after a

0:10:31 > 0:10:35gas leak was discovered in central London this morning. The area around

0:10:35 > 0:10:39the Strand has been cordoned off. Motorists have been advised to avoid

0:10:39 > 0:10:45the area as firefighters investigate the cause.

0:10:45 > 0:10:47Neil Diamond has announced his retirement from touring

0:10:47 > 0:10:49after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52The singer, who is 76, said he had made the decision

0:10:52 > 0:10:54with great reluctance, and apologised to fans who had

0:10:54 > 0:10:55already bought tickets.

0:10:55 > 0:11:03He said he would continue writing and recording.

0:11:07 > 0:11:18And yesterday, remember our Minnie Mouse news?

0:11:18 > 0:11:21Now, yesterday we told you about one of Hollywood's leading ladies

0:11:21 > 0:11:24finally receiving her star on the walk of fame.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Well, here is Minnie Mouse seeing her accolade for the first time.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30She was presented with the award by singer Katy Perry,

0:11:30 > 0:11:3240 years after her on-screen partner, Mickey.

0:11:32 > 0:11:38And Katy Perry was wearing a similar outfit, a kind of spotted dress.

0:11:38 > 0:11:43Very well spotted.

0:11:45 > 0:11:52And Kyle Edmund looks in good condition.

0:11:52 > 0:12:00Sonali is here with the sport.

0:12:00 > 0:12:05He was saying he was not going to celebrate, and he really believes he

0:12:05 > 0:12:10can go all the way. I don't think he is overconfident, but he believes in

0:12:10 > 0:12:14his own game and says the results are coming through. He has just

0:12:14 > 0:12:26broken Grigor Dimitrov in the fourth set.

0:12:27 > 0:12:29Kyle Edmund is a set away from a place in

0:12:29 > 0:12:33the Australian Open semi- final.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36The Brit is 2-1 sets up against third seed

0:12:36 > 0:12:41Grigor Dimitrov in Melbourne.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45Edmund is aiming to reach his first ever Grand Slam semi-final.

0:12:45 > 0:12:48Last week, Liverpool beat the top of the Premier League,

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Manchester City, but last night they were beaten by bottom side

0:12:51 > 0:12:52Swansea.

0:12:52 > 0:12:56Alfie Mawson's goal was enough for a 1-0 win that saw the Swans

0:12:56 > 0:12:58move to within three points of safety.

0:12:58 > 0:13:01We have been expecting the news for days, but finally it has been

0:13:01 > 0:13:04confirmed that Alexis Sanchez has signed for Manchester United

0:13:04 > 0:13:06from Arsenal, in a swap deal with Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

0:13:06 > 0:13:10Sanchez has signed a 4.5-year deal, and is expected to earn £14 million

0:13:10 > 0:13:11a year after tax.

0:13:11 > 0:13:14And England's netballers have missed out on their first win over

0:13:14 > 0:13:15Australia in five years.

0:13:15 > 0:13:18They narrowly lost 50-46 to the world champions in the second

0:13:18 > 0:13:19game of the Quad Series.

0:13:19 > 0:13:23They will now travel to Johannesburg to face South Africa in the final

0:13:23 > 0:13:28match on Sunday.

0:13:28 > 0:13:36I am slightly staggered by the amount of money.After tax.But he

0:13:36 > 0:13:40says it is not about the money, it is about the history of the club,

0:13:40 > 0:13:47and that he has always wanted to play at Manchester United.A lot of

0:13:47 > 0:13:53speculation.A lot of work has gone into that.Maybe that is why it to

0:13:53 > 0:14:01deal took so long. -- maybe that is why the deal took so long. And we

0:14:01 > 0:14:05will keep you up-to-date with Kyle Edmund, as well. We are watching it

0:14:05 > 0:14:15out of the corner of our eyes.I am trying to do that split I think.

0:14:15 > 0:14:20After the chill of last week, things are much different today but a much

0:14:20 > 0:14:24milder day than we have been used to. Quite an easier time is that

0:14:24 > 0:14:30there will be a bit of rain in the forecast. Wind coming up in the

0:14:30 > 0:14:35south-west. Temperatures in double figures. But notice on the charts,

0:14:35 > 0:14:40you can expect some rain through the morning rush-hour, heavy bursts in

0:14:40 > 0:14:46Scotland pushing east. Eastern Scotland, largely dry. Temperatures

0:14:46 > 0:14:50rising after a cool start. Occasional rain to get you through

0:14:50 > 0:14:55the rush-hour in Northern Ireland. That will get to the eastern side of

0:14:55 > 0:15:00the Pennines. Eight o'clock, some rain. After a bright start across

0:15:00 > 0:15:05eastern England, expect some rain before the rush-hour ends. The

0:15:05 > 0:15:11heaviest bursts in Wales and the south-west. Cloudy through the

0:15:11 > 0:15:16rush-hour. Misty through the second half in the hills. Breezy parole.

0:15:16 > 0:15:20Cloudy conditions this morning, occasional rain across all parts of

0:15:20 > 0:15:26the UK. Brighter skies and sunshine at times. One or two showers and

0:15:26 > 0:15:32temperatures on the up. These are general figures. One or two spots,

0:15:32 > 0:15:3815 degrees is not out of the question. As we go into the evening,

0:15:38 > 0:15:43fairly mild. Outbreaks of rain extending in. Have you bursts later

0:15:43 > 0:15:49on. Temperatures dropping around two or three degrees. A bit of snow on

0:15:49 > 0:15:53the hills for a time. Into Wednesday, this is the chart

0:15:53 > 0:15:58dominating, the area of low pressure. A windy day. A weather

0:15:58 > 0:16:02front pushing its way quickly during the morning across northern parts of

0:16:02 > 0:16:11England. That will push into East Anglia and the south-east. A cooler

0:16:11 > 0:16:17deal with showers turning wintry. Heavy rain, particularly early in

0:16:17 > 0:16:27the day. Tomorrow will feel that it cooler. Cold at pushing its way in.

0:16:27 > 0:16:34A chilly day on Thursday and indeed into Friday. Still a bit breezy in

0:16:34 > 0:16:40tables. Across some western areas, the sunshine throughout the day.

0:16:40 > 0:16:46Thursday night into Friday, the greatest chance of some frost but

0:16:46 > 0:16:51into Friday, many will have a fine end to the week. Not especially warm

0:16:51 > 0:16:59but some slightly milder air. Back to Dan and Louise. 15, it's like

0:16:59 > 0:16:59but some slightly milder air. Back to Dan and Louise. 15, it's like

0:16:59 > 0:17:08summer. We should be celebrating 15 degrees. At what point do you get

0:17:08 > 0:17:14shorts on?It depends on the circumstances.20 degrees, I get out

0:17:14 > 0:17:21the flip-flops. What's wrong with flip-flops?It's about 20 degrees in

0:17:21 > 0:17:28the studio now. Especially if you're on a bus or a tube and you can see

0:17:28 > 0:17:32their feet.I wouldn't do flip-flops in this country in a public space,

0:17:32 > 0:17:38only on holidays. You don't want to see anybody's toes on the tube.

0:17:38 > 0:17:46Carry on. This is the front page of the Times. Johnson demands £5

0:17:46 > 0:17:51billion extra for the NHS. Boris Johnson will see the floor at a

0:17:51 > 0:17:57meeting of Cabinet today. This is a picture on the front page of many of

0:17:57 > 0:18:04the papers. Princess Eugenie. Another royal wedding. The Daily

0:18:04 > 0:18:10Telegraph are discussing the story we have. Talking about the impact on

0:18:10 > 0:18:17the health of children. This one as well at the bottom. There are things

0:18:17 > 0:18:22you didn't know that you could know? Whether your cat uses its left or

0:18:22 > 0:18:29right poor. A study by Queen's University Belfast bound the

0:18:29 > 0:18:33majority of cats show preference for a certain paw. Males, there left

0:18:33 > 0:18:45paw. While females use their right paw. They also use, they have

0:18:45 > 0:18:49discovered, left limbed dogs are more pessimistic than write limbed

0:18:49 > 0:18:52dogs. I don't know how they worked it out.

0:18:52 > 0:18:59Aren't all dogs pessimistic?Dogs are not pessimistic. They are

0:18:59 > 0:19:04enthusiastic and positive.What about polar bears being left-handed?

0:19:04 > 0:19:08That is another rubbish thing. The Daily Mirror. A ridiculous picture.

0:19:08 > 0:19:14This gentleman was travelling at 60 miles an hour with both hands on his

0:19:14 > 0:19:20mobile phone. The message is not getting through.The Daily Mail, we

0:19:20 > 0:19:26talked about this yesterday. Say in that Vladimir Putin could start

0:19:26 > 0:19:33hostilities against the West sooner than we expect.Some lovely tributes

0:19:33 > 0:19:39to Jimmy Armfield who died yesterday at the age of 82. A voice that so

0:19:39 > 0:19:44many people grew up listening to. He was a wonder to work with, a kind

0:19:44 > 0:19:51man and a real gentleman.Everyone is talking about Davos at the

0:19:51 > 0:19:55moment. This is the World Economic Forum where basically a lot of

0:19:55 > 0:19:59people get together and try to work out how they are going to solve all

0:19:59 > 0:20:06the global economic problems. I was talking about robots in retail that

0:20:06 > 0:20:11got sacked because the customer didn't like them. There is a shop in

0:20:11 > 0:20:17Seattle where it is entirely based on robots but the robots are rise on

0:20:17 > 0:20:23the shelves. You don't pay, there are not any pills. You go in, you

0:20:23 > 0:20:28have the Apple and the eyes watch you and work out what you spend and

0:20:28 > 0:20:34is seen as you step out, it kills you.Somebody tried to shoplift,

0:20:34 > 0:20:38they were charged as they left the store.We were talking about

0:20:38 > 0:20:43Sanchez. Is he playing the piano in a promo video when they announced

0:20:43 > 0:20:50his move to Manchester? Apparently he can play. He was taking so long

0:20:50 > 0:20:54learning the Manchester United song. But if he can play, why did they not

0:20:54 > 0:21:00show him? Something to talk about. All the papers, lovely tributes to

0:21:00 > 0:21:07Jimmy Armfield.We have pictures of him playing Canada later.I will

0:21:07 > 0:21:12tell you about Peter Jackson film about the song later on. No, we

0:21:12 > 0:21:16haven't got any time. Let's move on.

0:21:16 > 0:21:18Sheltered housing is designed to offer older people a safe

0:21:18 > 0:21:20environment with varying levels of support.

0:21:20 > 0:21:23Yet the BBC has learned of tens of thousands of reported cases

0:21:23 > 0:21:26of abuse and neglect in this type of accommodation over

0:21:26 > 0:21:28the last three years.

0:21:28 > 0:21:31Some fear the actual extent of abuse could be even greater.

0:21:31 > 0:21:34Sheltered housing does not undergo the same inspections and ratings

0:21:34 > 0:21:37as care homes and this has led to questions over how well

0:21:37 > 0:21:39residents are protected.

0:21:39 > 0:21:47Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has more.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53Just a very sad. Andrea last saw her mum on New Year's Eve. Three months

0:21:53 > 0:21:57later she received a phone call from police saying she had been found

0:21:57 > 0:22:01dead in a council run sheltered accommodation.We don't know if she

0:22:01 > 0:22:05laid bare, whether it was an instant incident, whether it was a heart

0:22:05 > 0:22:13attack or did she lie there. You know, in pain.We just don't know.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17Andrea's mum suffered from depression and she often withdrew

0:22:17 > 0:22:20from family and friends. Her daughter hoped she would be safe in

0:22:20 > 0:22:24sheltered housing, staff keeping a night out but the local authority

0:22:24 > 0:22:28said Hazel liked her privity and requested they did not contact her.

0:22:28 > 0:22:33You are moving in because you think there is a warden and 24/7 support,

0:22:33 > 0:22:37if you fall, you are not feeling well, you can pull a broad accord --

0:22:37 > 0:22:43pull the cord and

0:22:51 > 0:22:54pull the cord and get support.There was no care. She really just got

0:22:54 > 0:22:56accommodation. That's all she got, accommodation. The council have told

0:22:56 > 0:22:59us they have changed their procedures to ensure every resident

0:22:59 > 0:23:02gets weekly contact. BBC Radio 4 plasma programme has tried to

0:23:02 > 0:23:05establish the level of risk. They were told of almost 31,000

0:23:05 > 0:23:10safeguarding incidents in the last 3.5 years. The most common were

0:23:10 > 0:23:14neglect, physical abuse and financial abuse. Those figures had

0:23:14 > 0:23:20increased 30% over that time.Are you surprised? No, frankly I'm not

0:23:20 > 0:23:25surprised by those figures. I strongly suspect they are an

0:23:25 > 0:23:29underestimate. There are some sectors are now adult social care

0:23:29 > 0:23:33which are less regulated unregulated. We have to look at the

0:23:33 > 0:23:38adequacy of the regulatory and inspection oversight.Not only is

0:23:38 > 0:23:41there no independent inspection regime in England, Wales and

0:23:41 > 0:23:46Northern Ireland, there is no legal requirement for professionals to

0:23:46 > 0:23:50actually report neglect or financial abuse. In Scotland, more

0:23:50 > 0:23:54wide-ranging powers but Westminster tell us that abuse and neglect is

0:23:54 > 0:23:58unacceptable. They say they changed the law so local authorities must

0:23:58 > 0:24:02ensure their services are safe and they will look again at reforming

0:24:02 > 0:24:07social care in the summer. But there is still a gap between this --

0:24:07 > 0:24:10between the perception of sheltered accommodation and the reality for

0:24:10 > 0:24:11some.

0:24:11 > 0:24:13Rachael Nicholson-Wright from the charity Action

0:24:13 > 0:24:18on Elder Abuse joins us now.

0:24:18 > 0:24:25We heard from the professor there. I was watching you nodding along. Is

0:24:25 > 0:24:29that something which tallies with your own experience?Absolutely.

0:24:29 > 0:24:36This is the tip of the iceberg. The figures that came from the

0:24:36 > 0:24:42investigation were only from a small percentage of councils. We don't

0:24:42 > 0:24:47have the full picture. What we know is that elder abuse is underreported

0:24:47 > 0:24:53for a wide range of regions -- reasons. It's concerning but not the

0:24:53 > 0:24:57full picture.One of the points is about inspections. You agree that

0:24:57 > 0:25:03type of accommodation should have an inspection scheme?Yes. Nursing

0:25:03 > 0:25:09homes and care homes, where people go to live, are under inspections

0:25:09 > 0:25:14for good reason. Sheltered housing doesn't come under social care, it

0:25:14 > 0:25:19comes in the housing. It doesn't have anything like we would expect.

0:25:19 > 0:25:23We have more and more older people and vulnerable people going into

0:25:23 > 0:25:28sheltered housing and nobody is checking where we go, and having the

0:25:28 > 0:25:32life they deserve to have.What are the other solutions. This is

0:25:32 > 0:25:37something we should care passionately about. There are lots

0:25:37 > 0:25:41of things to do. We know that at the moment, we are failing older people.

0:25:41 > 0:25:46And they go into sheltered housing, they are not being inspected. We

0:25:46 > 0:25:51need standard inspection across the country. So that when we know that

0:25:51 > 0:25:57our grandparents or parents, ice in a few years, are in these homes, we

0:25:57 > 0:26:02are safe. Should we talk a little bit about the reporting of it?

0:26:02 > 0:26:08People feeling unable to do that. What sort of impact does that have?

0:26:08 > 0:26:15Are people afraid to report?We have a helpline for people reporting.

0:26:15 > 0:26:21What we hear all the time is from older people themselves, they don't

0:26:21 > 0:26:25want to bother the police. If it's from family members the abuses

0:26:25 > 0:26:30happening, or trusted care workers, they don't want somebody to be in

0:26:30 > 0:26:36trouble. Even though what we are talking about, we are talking about

0:26:36 > 0:26:44theft and serious assaults. Older people don't want to report it.What

0:26:44 > 0:26:49is your advice this morning? People thinking, I know somebody in my

0:26:49 > 0:26:55family might be going through this. What should they do?We have a

0:26:55 > 0:27:00helpline that will help with abuse. At home or in hospital. It's about

0:27:00 > 0:27:05reporting. We need to encourage reporting. Whether in older person

0:27:05 > 0:27:10or family member, to help that older person have the strength to go

0:27:10 > 0:27:14forward, to report anything that is happening to them is which can stop.

0:27:14 > 0:27:16The less we know, we can't stop it.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19A Government spokesperson told us that "abuse and neglect

0:27:19 > 0:27:22is unacceptable and has no place in the social care system -

0:27:22 > 0:27:25that's why we changed the law so local authorities must ensure

0:27:25 > 0:27:27that the services they commission are safe, effective

0:27:27 > 0:27:28and of high quality.

0:27:28 > 0:27:32We are committed to reforming social care and will publish a green paper

0:27:32 > 0:27:38in the summer."

0:27:38 > 0:27:42You can hear more on this story on tonight's File on 4 at 8pm

0:27:42 > 0:27:43on BBC Radio 4.

0:27:43 > 0:27:50Now it's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

0:27:51 > 0:27:59Are also, we are keeping up-to-date on the Australian Open where Kyle

0:27:59 > 0:28:05Edmund is to set up against Grigor Dimitrov and if he gets into the

0:28:05 > 0:28:09final, he overtakes Andy Murray as British number one. It is very

0:28:09 > 0:31:29exciting.

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

0:31:31 > 0:31:33Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

0:31:33 > 0:31:36Now, though, it's back to Breakfast with Louise and Dan.

0:31:37 > 0:31:40Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:31:40 > 0:31:41It is 6:30am.

0:31:41 > 0:31:48We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment.

0:31:48 > 0:31:54But also on Breakfast this morning:

0:31:54 > 0:31:59It just feels like a disaster zone, isn't it? It is just completely

0:31:59 > 0:32:01under strain, bursting at the seams.

0:32:01 > 0:32:04As hospitals struggle to cope with intense winter pressures,

0:32:04 > 0:32:07we go behind the scenes of one A&E department, and get

0:32:07 > 0:32:09reaction from the Chair of the Commons Health

0:32:09 > 0:32:09Select Committee.

0:32:09 > 0:32:13In a week that saw millions of people march for women's rights,

0:32:13 > 0:32:15after 9:00am, we will speak to the co-founder

0:32:15 > 0:32:16of the Women's Equality Party,

0:32:16 > 0:32:18Catherine Mayer, about why she believes gender equality

0:32:18 > 0:32:22can save the world.

0:32:22 > 0:32:25And we find out about the clever crows, thought to be the only

0:32:25 > 0:32:28species besides humans to engineer hooks as tools.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Good morning.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34Here is a summary of today's main stories from BBC News:

0:32:34 > 0:32:37England is lagging behind Scotland and Wales when it comes

0:32:37 > 0:32:39to introducing measures to improve child health,

0:32:39 > 0:32:41according to a new report.

0:32:41 > 0:32:45The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says children

0:32:45 > 0:32:47deserve better, but Westminster insists it has world-leading

0:32:47 > 0:32:51plans in place.

0:32:51 > 0:32:54The college also says four out of five young people who are obese

0:32:54 > 0:32:57will battle ill health for the rest of their lives.

0:32:57 > 0:33:01Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes has more.

0:33:01 > 0:33:04Being healthy when you are young makes a big difference

0:33:04 > 0:33:08to your chances of good health in later life.

0:33:08 > 0:33:10At an after-school gym session in Manchester are sisters

0:33:10 > 0:33:11Grace and Mia.

0:33:11 > 0:33:14Both of them enjoy the rewards a workout gives them.

0:33:14 > 0:33:16Fitter, confident.

0:33:16 > 0:33:20Just happier with yourself, yeah.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23Personally, I just feel good about myself, think I've done well,

0:33:23 > 0:33:25and achieve better stuff.

0:33:25 > 0:33:28But, when it comes to the health of children and young people,

0:33:28 > 0:33:31the report out last year showed the UK was lagging behind other

0:33:31 > 0:33:33European nations.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37So, one year on, has the situation improved?

0:33:37 > 0:33:40In Scotland, there is praise for a new mental health strategy,

0:33:40 > 0:33:42and better support for mothers who breastfeed.

0:33:42 > 0:33:45Likewise in Wales, where a smoking ban in playgrounds

0:33:45 > 0:33:46has been introduced.

0:33:46 > 0:33:50But the report says cuts to public health budgets in England

0:33:50 > 0:33:53are hitting children's services hard, and the issue doesn't get

0:33:53 > 0:33:55the same political attention.

0:33:55 > 0:33:58A healthy child makes a healthy adult.

0:33:58 > 0:34:01A healthy adult is a productive adult, and a productive adult

0:34:01 > 0:34:04population is good for the economy.

0:34:04 > 0:34:11It makes no sense whatsoever to not really target the preservation

0:34:11 > 0:34:12of health in childhood.

0:34:12 > 0:34:15The Department of Health in England says it has world-leading plans

0:34:15 > 0:34:19in place to combat obesity and improve mental health,

0:34:19 > 0:34:22and the sugar tax is funding breakfast clubs and sports.

0:34:22 > 0:34:24Push back with your legs...

0:34:24 > 0:34:30But this report warns, if our children and young people

0:34:30 > 0:34:33don't get a good healthy start in life, they are more likely

0:34:33 > 0:34:34to struggle as adults.

0:34:34 > 0:34:35Dominic Hughes, BBC News.

0:34:35 > 0:34:37The BBC understands the Foreign Secretary will use

0:34:37 > 0:34:40a Cabinet meeting this morning to push for an extra £100 million

0:34:40 > 0:34:43a week of funding for the NHS in England.

0:34:43 > 0:34:45He will make his case when the Health Secretary,

0:34:45 > 0:34:49Jeremy Hunt, gives an update on how the NHS is coping this winter.

0:34:49 > 0:34:51Downing Street says the NHS was given top priority

0:34:51 > 0:34:54in the Budget, with an extra £2.8 billion committed

0:34:54 > 0:35:02to funding the service.

0:35:02 > 0:35:07Nigel Farage has said the refusal of the UKIP leader, Henry Bolton, to

0:35:07 > 0:35:11resign could be a lifeline for the party. 14 members of Mr Bolton's

0:35:11 > 0:35:15senior team have quit following the controversy over his former

0:35:15 > 0:35:21girlfriend making racist remarks about Meghan Markle. Writing for the

0:35:21 > 0:35:25Daily Telegraph website, as the Farrow said if he had the courage,

0:35:25 > 0:35:31Mr Bolton produced the situation to force UKIP to change.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33Car manufacturing giant Jaguar Land Rover has announced it

0:35:33 > 0:35:36will cut production at its Halewood plant in Merseyside.

0:35:36 > 0:35:38The firm had reported experiencing a record year,

0:35:38 > 0:35:41but says it is reviewing its plans because of a fall in demand,

0:35:41 > 0:35:44because of uncertainty over Brexit and consumer concerns over

0:35:44 > 0:35:45the future of diesel vehicles.

0:35:45 > 0:35:47The US government shutdown ended overnight after Republicans

0:35:47 > 0:35:49and Democrats voted for a temporary funding bill.

0:35:49 > 0:35:52Congress passed the legislation after the Democrats accepted

0:35:52 > 0:35:55the promise of a broad debate on the issue of immigration.

0:35:55 > 0:35:57The so-called continuing resolution keeps the government funded

0:35:57 > 0:35:59until eight February, in the hope that Congress can reach

0:35:59 > 0:36:06a longer-term budget agreement in the meantime.

0:36:06 > 0:36:09I know there's great relief that this episode is coming

0:36:09 > 0:36:10to an end.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13This shutdown did not need to happen.

0:36:13 > 0:36:20However brief, it inflicted needless costs on the country.

0:36:20 > 0:36:23Police in Yorkshire looking for a missing schoolgirl have found

0:36:23 > 0:36:24a body in a river.

0:36:24 > 0:36:27Ursula Keogh, who is from Halifax, was last seen on Monday afternoon

0:36:27 > 0:36:29dressed in her school uniform.

0:36:29 > 0:36:32Police say there are no suspicious circumstances surrounding the death,

0:36:32 > 0:36:33but are continuing to establish the cause.

0:36:33 > 0:36:41Her family have been told.

0:36:41 > 0:36:45Charing Cross station has been closed and an area around the Strand

0:36:45 > 0:36:50in Central London has been cordoned off, because of a gas leak.

0:36:50 > 0:36:51Around 1,500 people were evacuated overnight

0:36:51 > 0:36:55from a nightclub and a hotel.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57Motorists have also been advised to avoid the area,

0:36:57 > 0:36:59as a number of roads have been closed.

0:36:59 > 0:37:03The London Fire Brigade says they are still investigating the cause.

0:37:03 > 0:37:04Neil Diamond has announced his retirement from touring

0:37:04 > 0:37:06after he was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

0:37:06 > 0:37:09The singer, who is 76, said he had made the decision

0:37:09 > 0:37:10with great reluctance.

0:37:10 > 0:37:13In a statement, he apologised to fans who had already bought

0:37:13 > 0:37:16tickets for his tour in Australia and New Zealand.

0:37:16 > 0:37:24He said he would continue writing and recording.

0:37:24 > 0:37:29Do you know what was happening while you were...I was trying to read

0:37:29 > 0:37:35while people in the studio were going yes!Kyle Edmund has just won,

0:37:35 > 0:37:39everybody. He is into the semifinals of the Australian Open. Sonali, it

0:37:39 > 0:37:44is perfect timing because you are here to do the sport anyway.And it

0:37:44 > 0:37:48was so dramatic at the end, because the final point, as often is, was

0:37:48 > 0:37:53challenged. He has never defeated the top five player in the world,

0:37:53 > 0:37:56Grigor Dimitrov with the number three seed and he has done it at his

0:37:56 > 0:38:01very first semi-final at the Australian Open.You can see Tim

0:38:01 > 0:38:06Henman in the crowd.He is representing England, and flew out a

0:38:06 > 0:38:09couple of days ago, and you could see it happening as we were

0:38:09 > 0:38:15watching, I have been up since 3:30am this morning. You can't not

0:38:15 > 0:38:19watch it on a day like today but it is absolutely brilliant. He faces

0:38:19 > 0:38:25either Nadal or Cilic, who play later today.He played fantastically

0:38:25 > 0:38:30well. And when Andy Murray was not able to play in the Australian Open,

0:38:30 > 0:38:37Jo Konta went out, Kyle Edmund has done magnificently well. And Louise

0:38:37 > 0:38:42was asking why everyone is wearing pink.Because the kit sponsors have

0:38:42 > 0:38:46worked out what colour works best against the blue background of the

0:38:46 > 0:38:46court.

0:38:46 > 0:38:50We can speak now to Paul Layfield, who is a coach at Kyle Edmund's

0:38:50 > 0:38:53former tennis club in Hull.

0:38:53 > 0:38:58Good morning.Good morning. Fantastic news.Absolutely

0:38:58 > 0:39:05delighted. I have unfortunately not seen the end of the match, because I

0:39:05 > 0:39:09am staring at the camera at the moment but we are absolutely over

0:39:09 > 0:39:13the moon.And then you had to listen to us talking about at all and you

0:39:13 > 0:39:17have not been able to see the final point. Have you been able to see the

0:39:17 > 0:39:22rest of it? What have you made of Kyle 's performance this morning?It

0:39:22 > 0:39:26has been fantastic, I have had it on the radio ready much all morning,

0:39:26 > 0:39:30and have been to help with the BBC and stuff and it has just been

0:39:30 > 0:39:35fantastic. Well deserved. I mean, he has had a long journey to get there.

0:39:35 > 0:39:38It has been small steps, but he thoroughly deserves everything he

0:39:38 > 0:39:46has got.In the last time he met Dimitrov, he was pushed to the very

0:39:46 > 0:39:50end, wasn't he? Does it come as much of a surprise that he has been able

0:39:50 > 0:39:53to overcome him and is through to the semifinals of the Australian

0:39:53 > 0:39:58Open?It is not a massive surprise to us here. The last time he played

0:39:58 > 0:40:02Dimitrov was only a couple of weeks ago at Brisbane, and he was very

0:40:02 > 0:40:07close to winning that one, 4-4 when he turned his ankle towards the end

0:40:07 > 0:40:11of the match in the final set. His progress so far in his career has

0:40:11 > 0:40:16been very, very steady. He has had a year-on-year increase in his ranking

0:40:16 > 0:40:21all the way through for the last several years, except for last year,

0:40:21 > 0:40:26when he stayed around 50. It is no surprise to us where he is but we

0:40:26 > 0:40:30are absolutely proud as punch of him. He is a fantastic ambassador

0:40:30 > 0:40:34for Hull.And you know the family very well, you were involved in

0:40:34 > 0:40:40organising his very first coach, and the family are still members of the

0:40:40 > 0:40:44club where you are. What will they be thinking in this moment, when he

0:40:44 > 0:40:48has just got through to the semifinals of a Grand Slam?Yes, I

0:40:48 > 0:40:52obviously haven't spoken to them this morning, but I do see both his

0:40:52 > 0:40:58mother, Denise, and father fairly regularly. Stephen in fact take some

0:40:58 > 0:41:02time on court with us when he came to do some tennis with us, still,

0:41:02 > 0:41:07which is great. So obviously we are lots of interaction with his

0:41:07 > 0:41:12parents, and when Kyle is about we see him and he fills us in on what

0:41:12 > 0:41:15is going on.Can you bring yourself to think about that semi-final

0:41:15 > 0:41:22against either Rafael Nadal or Marin Cilic?Yes, my preference would be

0:41:22 > 0:41:28Marin Cilic. I know that Nadal would be a tougher prospect. But I think

0:41:28 > 0:41:35Nadal is also a part of his history. I think when Kyle was only about 15

0:41:35 > 0:41:39years of age, Nadal actually asked for Kyle to be his practice partner

0:41:39 > 0:41:44at Wimbledon, so I think that is a good credit to Nadal.What is your

0:41:44 > 0:41:50message for Kyle this morning, just in case he watches back?Just many,

0:41:50 > 0:41:53many congratulations, and he deserves everything he has got. He

0:41:53 > 0:42:00has huge support, we have a massive contingent following him. The vibe

0:42:00 > 0:42:05all about this club is all Kyle

0:42:05 > 0:42:06contingent following him. The vibe all about this club is all Kyle,

0:42:06 > 0:42:06Kyle

0:42:06 > 0:42:07all about this club is all Kyle, Kyle, Kyle

0:42:07 > 0:42:09all about this club is all Kyle, Kyle, Kyle. There is no question

0:42:09 > 0:42:14what we will be doing on Thursday morning.No question at all. I will

0:42:14 > 0:42:18let you go and see the winning point, as we were taking you hostage

0:42:18 > 0:42:20at that point. Thank you so much.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23A little later in the programme, I will be speaking to

0:42:23 > 0:42:23Kyle's good friend.

0:42:23 > 0:42:25That is coming up at 7:35am.

0:42:25 > 0:42:27After brilliantly ending Manchester City's unbeaten run last

0:42:27 > 0:42:29weekend, Liverpool followed up that result with defeat

0:42:29 > 0:42:31against the Premier League's bottom side.

0:42:31 > 0:42:33Swansea City stayed in touch with their relegation rivals

0:42:33 > 0:42:36with a crucial 1-0 win at the Liberty Stadium.

0:42:36 > 0:42:39Alfie Mawson's first-half goal saw them move to within three

0:42:39 > 0:42:39points of safety.

0:42:39 > 0:42:47Liverpool missed the chance to go third.

0:43:00 > 0:43:03I did not use the word frustration too often,

0:43:03 > 0:43:06because it's a little bit

0:43:06 > 0:43:09differen in the English language and the German language.

0:43:09 > 0:43:10It was not necessary, obviously.

0:43:10 > 0:43:12It was not a good game for us.

0:43:12 > 0:43:14Especially offensively, it was not good enough,

0:43:14 > 0:43:16we lost the game in the first half.

0:43:16 > 0:43:20The confidence is more higher in this moment. The team is organised,

0:43:20 > 0:43:27and we win because we have a part of the game where we got lucky, we had

0:43:27 > 0:43:31luck in the game. But my players were brave, they were organised. We

0:43:31 > 0:43:33prepared very well in the game.

0:43:33 > 0:43:35Tributes have been paid to the former England captain

0:43:35 > 0:43:38Jimmy Armfield, who died yesterday at the age of 82.

0:43:38 > 0:43:41Described as a national hero and a football legend,

0:43:41 > 0:43:44Armfield made 43 appearances for his country and a record 627

0:43:44 > 0:43:46for Blackpool, staying with the club his whole career.

0:43:46 > 0:43:48After playing, he went on to become a manager,

0:43:48 > 0:43:56and worked as a summariser for BBC Radio for almost 40 years.

0:43:57 > 0:44:04I have always tried to earn my coin. I think that is the thing, really.

0:44:04 > 0:44:08And I think that came with my generation. I think most players in

0:44:08 > 0:44:13my time, as well, have done that. I have always tried to be loyal, and I

0:44:13 > 0:44:17have never left Blackpool in that respect. It is just the generation I

0:44:17 > 0:44:22was brought up in.So you want to be known as a reader, and as loyal?

0:44:22 > 0:44:25Yes, I think so, and a half decent player.

0:44:25 > 0:44:28The Scottish Football Association's search for a manager continues,

0:44:28 > 0:44:29after Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill

0:44:29 > 0:44:30declined their offer.

0:44:30 > 0:44:33O'Neill said he had given the matter a great deal of thought,

0:44:33 > 0:44:36and had been the preferred candidate for the role.

0:44:36 > 0:44:39Scotland have been without a manager since Gordon Strachan left

0:44:39 > 0:44:41in October after failing to qualify for the World Cup.

0:44:41 > 0:44:45Ben Stokes has revealed on Twitter that he won't join up with England

0:44:45 > 0:44:48for the tour of New Zealand until after his court appearance

0:44:48 > 0:44:49on 13 February.

0:44:49 > 0:44:51The all-rounder is due at Bristol Magistrates' Court

0:44:51 > 0:44:54on the same day he was supposed to be making his international

0:44:54 > 0:44:56comeback in a Twenty20 match.

0:44:56 > 0:44:59Stokes has been charged with affray after an incident outside a Bristol

0:44:59 > 0:45:04nightclub in September.

0:45:04 > 0:45:06England's netballers have narrowly lost to world champions Australia

0:45:06 > 0:45:08in the second match of their Quad Series.

0:45:08 > 0:45:11The Roses were searching for their first win over

0:45:11 > 0:45:14the top-ranked side in five years, but just couldn't fight back

0:45:14 > 0:45:16in the final quarter at London's Copperbox Arena,

0:45:16 > 0:45:16losing 50-46.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19England will now travel to Johannesburg to face South Africa

0:45:19 > 0:45:26in the final match on Sunday.

0:45:26 > 0:45:29Now, football teams are coming up with more creative and innovative

0:45:29 > 0:45:31ways than ever to announce their new signings, but how

0:45:31 > 0:45:33about this from Manchester United last night?

0:45:33 > 0:45:36Alexis Sanchez was rumoured to be signing for them

0:45:36 > 0:45:37for several days now.

0:45:37 > 0:45:39It has been made official, and this was released

0:45:39 > 0:45:41on United's Twitter feed, the Chilean forward apparently

0:45:41 > 0:45:49playing Glory, Glory Man United on the piano.

0:45:52 > 0:45:57He can play the piano, but I just don't understand why they didn't

0:45:57 > 0:46:04fully show him. If he really can play it, why not...It is the sort

0:46:04 > 0:46:13of reveal, so you know...It was, very much so.Like the mystery guest

0:46:13 > 0:46:21of professional sport.I think we would all know the answer.It is a

0:46:21 > 0:46:26slight flaw in the plant.Huge congratulations to Kyle Edmund, and

0:46:26 > 0:46:37Andy Murray has tweeted already.

0:46:40 > 0:46:44Andy Murray has put a message on Twitter. Congratulations to Kyle

0:46:44 > 0:46:53Edmund. It's a little bit warmer, isn't it? Good morning to you.

0:46:53 > 0:46:58Compare to what we have seen over the last week or two. But it does

0:46:58 > 0:47:04come at a price. The mild weather is with us. Certainly through the

0:47:04 > 0:47:09morning rush-hour, be prepared. The weather is coming all the way from

0:47:09 > 0:47:24the mid-Atlantic. Warmer our coming our way. Not a washout by any means.

0:47:24 > 0:47:32There will be some rain on through the day. Some heady bursts losing

0:47:32 > 0:47:39some of the heavy rain. Pushing through eastern areas. Staying dry

0:47:39 > 0:47:45between eight and nine o'clock. Heavy bursts of rain. Lighter and

0:47:45 > 0:47:50patchier. Quite misty and great through this morning. Temperatures

0:47:50 > 0:47:56already in double figures. Quite a breezy day. That will push away some

0:47:56 > 0:48:01of the morning cloud. Greater chance of seeing some sunshine. Still a few

0:48:01 > 0:48:06showers coming and going. These temperatures when the sun is out

0:48:06 > 0:48:10through the afternoon. When you get some sunshine through the north and

0:48:10 > 0:48:17east of Wales, up to 15 degrees. An incredibly mild day. They say it is

0:48:17 > 0:48:22breezy tonight. Then some more wet weather starts to spread through the

0:48:22 > 0:48:27West. Gale winds expected. Temperatures temporarily dipping

0:48:27 > 0:48:33down through the night and into the morning. This is the area of

0:48:33 > 0:48:38pressure driving things. Lots of isobars on the chart. This is the

0:48:38 > 0:48:41weather front which will produce rain for the rush-hour. That will

0:48:41 > 0:48:45spread to the south and east through the afternoon were it will linger.

0:48:45 > 0:48:51And gale force winds for the timing. After some early rain, to many, the

0:48:51 > 0:48:54afternoon looking a bit brighter. Some scattering of showers but

0:48:54 > 0:49:00cooler air in place. Temperatures down to single figures for many.

0:49:00 > 0:49:05There could be some minor flooding. Dry into Thursday. Sunshine and

0:49:05 > 0:49:12showers the many. Still a bit windy where will -- where we will see the

0:49:12 > 0:49:17bulk of the showers. Temperatures will drop. A frost in place to take

0:49:17 > 0:49:24us into Friday. Not a bad end to the week. Most places dry with some

0:49:24 > 0:49:27sunny spells before cloudy conditions return to the weekend.

0:49:27 > 0:49:30sunny spells before cloudy conditions return to the weekend.

0:49:30 > 0:49:33I've got the FA Cup this weekend so I'm quite happy.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36What do the President Trump, Sir Elton John and the actor

0:49:36 > 0:49:38Cate Blanchett have in common?

0:49:38 > 0:49:41This week, they're all planning to attend one of the biggest events

0:49:41 > 0:49:44in the business and political calendar.

0:49:44 > 0:49:47So why does the World Economic Forum in Davos,

0:49:47 > 0:49:50Swizerland, attract such an eclectic mix of people and why

0:49:50 > 0:49:50does it matter?

0:49:50 > 0:49:58Steph is here to tell us more.

0:49:58 > 0:50:03I think you hit the nail on the head, it's all for the social life.

0:50:03 > 0:50:09That's why I try and get there every year. There is a serious side.

0:50:09 > 0:50:13Davos is actually the name of village in the Swiss Alps -

0:50:13 > 0:50:15usually pretty sleepy, but not this week.

0:50:15 > 0:50:172,500 people will be making their way

0:50:17 > 0:50:19there to talk money and policy and no doubt enjoy

0:50:19 > 0:50:20a little apres-ski.

0:50:20 > 0:50:24It's aim is to look at how globalisation is shaping the world

0:50:24 > 0:50:30and try to find solutions.

0:50:30 > 0:50:33And it's big money - tickets to get in to some

0:50:33 > 0:50:35of the events cost tens of thousands of pounds.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37So who's going?

0:50:37 > 0:50:43Well, quite a few big names you'll recognise.

0:50:43 > 0:50:44there

0:50:44 > 0:50:48Our Prime Minister, Theresa May, will be

0:50:48 > 0:50:49there as well as Shadow

0:50:49 > 0:50:50Chancellor John McDonnell.

0:50:50 > 0:50:53They'll be joined by business leaders from all over the world -

0:50:53 > 0:50:55including this guy.

0:50:55 > 0:50:57And 35 other heads of state.

0:50:57 > 0:50:59The rest - well it's a mix of businesses,

0:50:59 > 0:51:01including tech giants like Google and Facebook,

0:51:01 > 0:51:02plus banks and charities.

0:51:02 > 0:51:04Even a few celebs, including Cate Blanchett

0:51:04 > 0:51:06and Elton John will be there too.

0:51:06 > 0:51:08There is a serious side to all of this.

0:51:08 > 0:51:11The boss of the International Monetary Fund laid out the scale

0:51:11 > 0:51:19of the problems they need to try and solve.

0:51:19 > 0:51:24There are still too many people who are left out of that recovery and

0:51:24 > 0:51:29acts of aggression of growth. In fact, about one fifth of emerging

0:51:29 > 0:51:36and developing countries, one fifth of emerging and developing

0:51:36 > 0:51:42countries, saw their per capita income decline in 2017. The scars

0:51:42 > 0:51:45from the crisis, the low productivity, the ageing population

0:51:45 > 0:51:55and on and on and future potential growth, all of that will continue to

0:51:55 > 0:51:57weigh on medium-term prospects.

0:51:57 > 0:52:01So what's on the agenda?

0:52:01 > 0:52:03It's a fair question.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05Davos is often criticised

0:52:05 > 0:52:07as a "talking shop" and "echo chamber".

0:52:07 > 0:52:10But it is true that amongst the parties and private jets

0:52:10 > 0:52:12the event does tackle some big subjects -

0:52:12 > 0:52:15from global economic prospects, wealth and how new tech could hit

0:52:15 > 0:52:17wages.

0:52:17 > 0:52:20This years theme is all about equality -

0:52:20 > 0:52:22which is not a suprise given the high profile campaigns

0:52:22 > 0:52:24around gender discrimination.

0:52:24 > 0:52:29But it's worth bearing in mind only 1 in every 5

0:52:29 > 0:52:31delegates in Davos will be female.

0:52:31 > 0:52:37And that's actually the highest it's ever been.

0:52:37 > 0:52:40So we can expect a fair few headlines from the event,

0:52:40 > 0:52:48not least when President Trump takes to the stage.

0:52:53 > 0:52:57£27,000 that tickets is an extraordinary amount of money.

0:52:57 > 0:53:07You can sneak into some, can't you? Thank you very much. Let's hope they

0:53:07 > 0:53:12do something.I lost my pen their momentarily, don't panic.

0:53:12 > 0:53:15New Caledonian Crows have been known to use sticks to catch their prey,

0:53:15 > 0:53:18but some now appear hooked on using more advanced tools.

0:53:18 > 0:53:20Researchers have witnessed the birds engineering hooks out

0:53:20 > 0:53:23of twigs, which they use to prise grubs out of trees.

0:53:23 > 0:53:25Our ccience correspondent, Victoria Gill, explains why

0:53:25 > 0:53:28the finding is so significant.

0:53:29 > 0:53:32A very crafty crow.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35These birds are carefully manufacturing hooks,

0:53:35 > 0:53:38out of sticks, that they will use to snag spiders and grubs that

0:53:38 > 0:53:41are hiding in three holes.

0:53:41 > 0:53:44They use their bills like a precision instrument.

0:53:44 > 0:53:48They will take away small fibres of wood to get this really pointed

0:53:48 > 0:53:51and sharp, so they can snap their prey with it.

0:53:51 > 0:53:53In tests carried out in these purpose-built aviaries,

0:53:53 > 0:53:57when the crows made and used their specialised hooks,

0:53:57 > 0:54:01they captured their food 10 times faster than using a simple twig.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04This, the scientists say, means the crows have revealed

0:54:04 > 0:54:07a glimpse of why a new technology is invented and developed.

0:54:07 > 0:54:09Since researchers first observed our closest primate

0:54:09 > 0:54:13cousins, the chimpanzees, using sticks as tools,

0:54:13 > 0:54:17many creatures have joined the ranks of tool-using animals.

0:54:17 > 0:54:20These sea otters use rocks as hammers to crack open shellfish,

0:54:20 > 0:54:24and these elephants in Sri Lanka are using branches

0:54:24 > 0:54:25to swat away flies.

0:54:25 > 0:54:29But only humans and New Caledonian crows have independently engineered

0:54:29 > 0:54:31the simple yet hugely important hook.

0:54:31 > 0:54:38The very earliest human-made fishing hooks were made just

0:54:38 > 0:54:4023,000 years ago.

0:54:40 > 0:54:43And crucially, these were a big technological breakthrough for each

0:54:43 > 0:54:46species, a way of foraging for food much more efficiently

0:54:46 > 0:54:49to increase their chances of survival.

0:54:49 > 0:54:53Technology that could be passed from generation to generation.

0:54:53 > 0:55:01It's fascinating to have these birds that have made tools

0:55:01 > 0:55:03which are believed to have been a very major innovation

0:55:03 > 0:55:05in humans' technological evolution.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07When you look at how our ancestors refined their technology,

0:55:07 > 0:55:11the invention of the hook was a key event.

0:55:11 > 0:55:13There are signs that some of the wild birds

0:55:13 > 0:55:16are fine-tuning their hook designs, so it seems these remarkable crows

0:55:16 > 0:55:18could be on their very own technological journey.

0:55:18 > 0:55:26Victoria Gill, BBC News, St Andrews.

0:55:29 > 0:55:36So really, really clever Crows. They are in fact new Caledonian Crows.

0:55:36 > 0:55:45Thank you for that. What could they do next? Phil

0:55:45 > 0:55:49learned a lot from the Crows this morning.

0:55:49 > 0:55:52You're watching Breakfast.

0:55:52 > 0:55:54Still to come this morning: We find out how artificial

0:55:54 > 0:55:57intelligence and new technology could be used to save us time

0:55:57 > 0:55:58at the till.

0:55:58 > 0:56:03In this particular shop, there are no more tills. It's the future.

0:56:03 > 0:56:08You are shaking your head. I like talking to people.

0:56:08 > 0:56:14I am totally with you. I like talking to people in shops, on train

0:56:14 > 0:56:18stations. Maybe this is why we do this as a job. We should be

0:56:18 > 0:56:22encouraging conversation in life. On this, I totally agree.

0:56:22 > 0:56:27Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

0:56:27 > 0:59:46Wherever

0:59:46 > 0:59:47in half an hour.

0:59:47 > 0:59:50Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

0:59:50 > 0:59:53Bye for now.

1:00:26 > 1:00:29Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:00:29 > 1:00:32Four in five overweight children will battle ill health for the rest

1:00:32 > 1:00:37of their lives, according to a new report.

1:00:37 > 1:00:40The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says England

1:00:40 > 1:00:43is falling behind Scotland and Wales in trying to improve children's

1:00:43 > 1:00:51health, and says they deserve better.

1:00:58 > 1:01:03Good morning, it is Tuesday 23 January.

1:01:03 > 1:01:06Also this morning: Kyle Edmund makes it through to the

1:01:06 > 1:01:08semi-finals of the Australian Open,

1:01:08 > 1:01:10after beating world number three Grigor Dimitrov in the

1:01:10 > 1:01:18quarter-finals this morning.

1:01:25 > 1:01:28Boris Johnson is expected to push for an extra £100 million a week

1:01:28 > 1:01:34for the NHS, as the health service struggles with winter pressures.

1:01:34 > 1:01:39It's just completely under strain, bursting at the seams.

1:01:39 > 1:01:43After three days of shutdown, Donald Trump signs a bill to restart

1:01:43 > 1:01:50the US government.

1:01:51 > 1:01:56Record raking revenues at the world's biggest football clubs. I am

1:01:56 > 1:02:00looking way that money comes from and what it means for football as a

1:02:00 > 1:02:02business -- record-breaking.

1:02:02 > 1:02:05And Matt has the weather.

1:02:05 > 1:02:10After a chill in the last few days, one or two makes pots could hit 15

1:02:10 > 1:02:14degrees. Expect some rain for your morning rush hour. -- one or two

1:02:14 > 1:02:15spots.

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Good morning.

1:02:17 > 1:02:20First, our main story: England is lagging behind Scotland and Wales

1:02:20 > 1:02:22when it comes to introducing measures to improve child health,

1:02:22 > 1:02:24according to a new report.

1:02:24 > 1:02:27The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says children

1:02:27 > 1:02:29deserve better, but Westminster insists it has world-leading

1:02:29 > 1:02:31plans in place.

1:02:31 > 1:02:34The college also says four out of five young people who are obese

1:02:34 > 1:02:37will battle ill health for the rest of their lives.

1:02:37 > 1:02:41Our health correspondent Dominic Hughes has more.

1:02:41 > 1:02:44Being healthy when you are young makes a big difference

1:02:44 > 1:02:46to your chances of good health in later life.

1:02:46 > 1:02:49At an after-school gym session in Manchester are sisters

1:02:49 > 1:02:50Grace and Mia.

1:02:50 > 1:02:53Both of them enjoy the rewards a workout gives them.

1:02:53 > 1:02:55Fitter, confident.

1:02:55 > 1:02:57Just happier with yourself, yeah.

1:02:57 > 1:03:00Personally, I just feel good about myself, think I've done well,

1:03:00 > 1:03:02and achieve better stuff.

1:03:02 > 1:03:06But, when it comes to the health of children and young people,

1:03:06 > 1:03:09a report out last year showed the UK was lagging behind other

1:03:09 > 1:03:11European nations.

1:03:11 > 1:03:14So, one year on, has the situation improved?

1:03:14 > 1:03:17In Scotland, there is praise for a new mental health strategy,

1:03:17 > 1:03:20and better support for mothers who breastfeed.

1:03:20 > 1:03:22Likewise in Wales, where a smoking ban in playgrounds

1:03:22 > 1:03:24has been introduced.

1:03:24 > 1:03:27But the report says cuts to public health budgets in England

1:03:27 > 1:03:30are hitting children's services hard, and the issue doesn't get

1:03:30 > 1:03:32the same political attention.

1:03:32 > 1:03:36A healthy child makes a healthy adult.

1:03:36 > 1:03:39A healthy adult is a productive adult, and a productive adult

1:03:39 > 1:03:42population is good for the economy.

1:03:42 > 1:03:45It makes no sense whatsoever to not really target the preservation

1:03:45 > 1:03:53of health in childhood.

1:03:53 > 1:03:56The Department of Health in England says it has world-leading plans

1:03:56 > 1:03:58in place to combat obesity and improve mental health,

1:03:58 > 1:04:01and the sugar tax is funding breakfast clubs and sports.

1:04:01 > 1:04:02Push back with your legs...

1:04:02 > 1:04:05But this report warns that, if our children and young people

1:04:05 > 1:04:08don't get a good healthy start in life, they are more likely

1:04:08 > 1:04:13to struggle as adults.

1:04:13 > 1:04:14Dominic Hughes, BBC News.

1:04:14 > 1:04:18Just after 7:00am this morning, we will be speaking to the President

1:04:18 > 1:04:20of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health,

1:04:20 > 1:04:24Neena Modi.

1:04:24 > 1:04:28If you are just waking up, good news from the Australian Open. British

1:04:28 > 1:04:33number two tennis player, Kyle Edmund, has beaten world number

1:04:33 > 1:04:38three

1:04:38 > 1:04:43three Grigor Dimitrov to make the semifinals of the Australian Open. A

1:04:43 > 1:04:47fantastic achievement for him.A fantastic achievement, the first

1:04:47 > 1:04:52Brit other than Andy Murray since John Lloyd in 1977 to get to the

1:04:52 > 1:04:55semifinals of the Australian Open. And the first Brit other than Andy

1:04:55 > 1:05:02Murray since Tim Henman in 2004 at any Grand Slam. He is world number

1:05:02 > 1:05:0749, and after this tournament he will move into the top 30 for the

1:05:07 > 1:05:11first time. He has never beaten the top five player before, and I think

1:05:11 > 1:05:15this has been coming. We were talking to a coach who knows the

1:05:15 > 1:05:19family really well, one of his coaches yesterday, and he has been

1:05:19 > 1:05:23really ticking over over the years. He has been dropping half ranking

1:05:23 > 1:05:28every so often, it has been steady progress. And everyone you speak to

1:05:28 > 1:05:33says he has always had all the armoury, it is just he hasn't known

1:05:33 > 1:05:37how to finish matches. So the last few coaching decisions he has made,

1:05:37 > 1:05:42he has just moved to the Bahamas, all of that I think is why he is

1:05:42 > 1:05:46doing so well today. He is through to Thursday's semi-final, either

1:05:46 > 1:05:51against Rafael Nadal or Marin Cilic. I was listening to Nadal the other

1:05:51 > 1:05:56day talking about how well Kyle Edmund was playing.A massive serve,

1:05:56 > 1:06:01both of his parents at all, he is a huge guy, and it is whether he knew

1:06:01 > 1:06:06how to use it.He has proven today he can do all of that.

1:06:06 > 1:06:09Congratulations to him, and congratulations also coming in from

1:06:09 > 1:06:17Andy Murray. Simply tweeting wow. Yes, there you go. It is very

1:06:17 > 1:06:21descriptive.He has trained for years with Andy Murray as his

1:06:21 > 1:06:24hitting partner, so they know each other very well and they are very

1:06:24 > 1:06:29good friends. And whenever we have success in British tennis we have to

1:06:29 > 1:06:38come up with Henman Hill, Murray mound, maybe Kyle's pile? I like the

1:06:38 > 1:06:45ring of that.I think Edmund's embankment.

1:06:45 > 1:06:48Concerns about the financial pressures on the NHS in England

1:06:48 > 1:06:51are expected to be discussed at a Cabinet meeting this morning.

1:06:51 > 1:06:53It is understood the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson,

1:06:53 > 1:06:56will call for the service to receive an extra £100 million a week.

1:06:56 > 1:06:59He will make his case when the Health Secretary,

1:06:59 > 1:07:02Jeremy Hunt, gives an update on how the NHS is coping this winter.

1:07:02 > 1:07:05It comes as fresh evidence has emerged of the intense strain

1:07:05 > 1:07:09hospitals across the UK are now under.

1:07:09 > 1:07:14It's just completely under strain, bursting at the seams.

1:07:14 > 1:07:17Come this time next year, the same will happen again.

1:07:17 > 1:07:20And again, and again, and again.

1:07:20 > 1:07:25And we'll see all these pieces in the news, and the horrendous

1:07:25 > 1:07:32trolley waits, but it doesn't seem to change.

1:07:32 > 1:07:38Our political correspondent Chris Mason joins us now.

1:07:39 > 1:07:44It seems quite extraordinary that is Johnson is going to be talking about

1:07:44 > 1:07:49the NHS, but that appears to be what will happen.It is extraordinary,

1:07:49 > 1:07:52really. Obviously this is a huge political talking point at the

1:07:52 > 1:07:56moment, but the curious thing, Louise, is as a reporter I often

1:07:56 > 1:08:01feel like I am on the cusp of being in the loop, but the last time I

1:08:01 > 1:08:05checked, Boris Johnson was Secretary of State for the foreign and common

1:08:05 > 1:08:09office, so what is he doing talking about the NHS, and more than that,

1:08:09 > 1:08:14why he telling the world in advance what he will stay in a private

1:08:14 > 1:08:17meeting around the Cabinet table? He is articulating a frustration we

1:08:17 > 1:08:24have seen from other MPs in recent weeks about what they see as a lack

1:08:24 > 1:08:29of oomph in the Central government, on the NHS and on other issues, and

1:08:29 > 1:08:34also something we have seen during the EU referendum, about the amount

1:08:34 > 1:08:39of money which would be available to the NHS after the vote, a hugely

1:08:39 > 1:08:48controversial claim. He is speaking of a broader frustration, and a

1:08:48 > 1:08:52desire to make sure Labour doesn't get ahead of them on all things NHS.

1:08:52 > 1:08:56They don't want to be, in the eyes or the words of one critic, a

1:08:56 > 1:09:00government of boiled rabbits. It is not a phrase I had heard before

1:09:00 > 1:09:05either. I don't think it is meant as a compliment.I can see that. What

1:09:05 > 1:09:10an extraordinary comment.I am trying to work out what is the

1:09:10 > 1:09:12analogy, but I am sure it works on some level.

1:09:12 > 1:09:15Nigel Farage has said the refusal of the Ukip leader,

1:09:15 > 1:09:19Henry Bolton, to resign could be a lifeline for the party.

1:09:19 > 1:09:2114 members of Mr Bolton's senior team have quit

1:09:21 > 1:09:23following the controversy over his former girlfriend making

1:09:23 > 1:09:24racist remarks about Meghan Markle.

1:09:24 > 1:09:27Writing for the Daily Telegraph website, Mr Farage said,

1:09:27 > 1:09:30if he had the courage, Mr Bolton could use the situation

1:09:30 > 1:09:31to force Ukip to change.

1:09:31 > 1:09:33The US government shutdown ended overnight, after Republicans

1:09:33 > 1:09:35and Democrats voted for a temporary funding bill.

1:09:35 > 1:09:37Congress passed the legislation after the Democrats accepted

1:09:37 > 1:09:40the promise of a broad debate on the issue of immigration.

1:09:40 > 1:09:43The so-called continuing resolution keeps the government funded until 8

1:09:43 > 1:09:46February, in the hope that Congress can reach a longer-term budget

1:09:46 > 1:09:53agreement in the meantime.

1:09:53 > 1:09:56I know there's great relief that this episode is coming

1:09:56 > 1:09:59to an end.

1:09:59 > 1:10:02This shutdown did not need to happen.

1:10:02 > 1:10:07However brief, it inflicted needless costs on the country.

1:10:07 > 1:10:12Money, equality and globalisation are set to top the agenda

1:10:12 > 1:10:15during the first full day of the World Economic Forum

1:10:15 > 1:10:18in the Swiss ski resort of Davos.

1:10:18 > 1:10:21President Trump, Theresa May, Sir Elton John, and the actor

1:10:21 > 1:10:24Cate Blanchett are expected to be among the 2,500 world leaders,

1:10:24 > 1:10:27business representatives and celebrities attending the event.

1:10:27 > 1:10:32Our economics editor Kamal Ahmed is also there.

1:10:32 > 1:10:36Good morning to you once again. Steph has been telling us about what

1:10:36 > 1:10:40sort of things are on the agenda. I suppose it is important to remember

1:10:40 > 1:10:46why Davos is so significant.Well, I think that list of names hints at

1:10:46 > 1:10:50that. Lots of global leaders come here, lots of business leaders come

1:10:50 > 1:10:57here, really for a scent check of the health of the economy and the

1:10:57 > 1:11:02health of politics. Three big trends I think in Davos. Firstly, more

1:11:02 > 1:11:07optimism. I have been coming to Davos for almost ten years, and this

1:11:07 > 1:11:10is the first time since the global financial crisis that growth is

1:11:10 > 1:11:16coming back, globally. One exception is the UK Brexit risk, seen as

1:11:16 > 1:11:18something of an outlay, some negative sentiment around Britain.

1:11:18 > 1:11:22Second point, lots of European leaders coming here. The French

1:11:22 > 1:11:28leader, the German leader, Theresa May, of course, and the Italian

1:11:28 > 1:11:32leader, trying to sell the European model is the way forward for the

1:11:32 > 1:11:37global economy. And finally, Friday, the arrival of President Trumper,

1:11:37 > 1:11:41the first serving President to visit Davos since 2000, and Bill Clinton.

1:11:41 > 1:11:46I think a big signal that -- president Trump. What will the

1:11:46 > 1:11:50president's Toby, will it be quite aggressive, looking to tell the

1:11:50 > 1:11:57world how it should be, or will there be a more conciliatory tone

1:11:57 > 1:12:00given the greater optimism around the world at the moment? It will be

1:12:00 > 1:12:04fascinating to see his speech on Friday, which will wrap up the World

1:12:04 > 1:12:07Economic Forum.

1:12:07 > 1:12:10Charing Cross station has been closed and an area around the Strand

1:12:10 > 1:12:13in Central London has been cordoned off because of a gas leak.

1:12:13 > 1:12:16Around 1,500 people were evacuated overnight from a nightclub

1:12:16 > 1:12:18and a hotel.

1:12:18 > 1:12:20Motorists have also been advised to avoid the area,

1:12:20 > 1:12:22as a number of roads have been closed.

1:12:22 > 1:12:30The London Fire Brigade says they are still investigating the cause.

1:12:33 > 1:12:38Thank you for being with us on this Tuesday morning. Tuesday?

1:12:38 > 1:12:41Definitely.It is Tuesday.

1:12:41 > 1:12:44Introducing a sugar tax on fizzy drinks and funding additional

1:12:44 > 1:12:46breakfast clubs and sports facilities - these are just some

1:12:46 > 1:12:49of the ways the Government says it is tackling childhood obesity.

1:12:49 > 1:12:52But a new study warns the measures don't go far enough,

1:12:52 > 1:12:54and predicts four out of five overweight children

1:12:54 > 1:12:56will become obese adults.

1:12:56 > 1:12:58The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says that

1:12:58 > 1:13:01will result in them losing between ten and 20 years

1:13:01 > 1:13:02of healthy life.

1:13:02 > 1:13:05It says Westminster is still lagging behind Scotland and Wales

1:13:05 > 1:13:07in prioritising the issue, and suggests public health cuts

1:13:07 > 1:13:15in England are disproportionately affecting children's services.

1:13:23 > 1:13:26Let's speak to the president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and

1:13:26 > 1:13:29Child Health, who looked at all of this. Thank you for joining us.

1:13:29 > 1:13:33Let's speak a little bit about the impact of overweight children, and

1:13:33 > 1:13:36you are very concerned about it, aren't you?We are extremely

1:13:36 > 1:13:42concerned about it. It is not only a problem for the children themselves

1:13:42 > 1:13:46but will remain a problem for the children when they grow up.And why

1:13:46 > 1:13:51do you think this is happening? Well, it is a problem which has been

1:13:51 > 1:13:56recognised for quite sometime now. We issued a state of child health

1:13:56 > 1:14:00report a year ago, pretty much to in which we pointed to the rising

1:14:00 > 1:14:04problem of childhood obesity. One year on we have issued a series of

1:14:04 > 1:14:09scorecards looking at how each of the three nations, Scotland, Wales

1:14:09 > 1:14:14and England, have doing. And I am afraid the overriding concern is

1:14:14 > 1:14:19that there just does not seem to be the integrated, overarching strategy

1:14:19 > 1:14:25to tackle this properly, that we really, really do need to see.It is

1:14:25 > 1:14:27interesting that you make this comparison between what is going on

1:14:27 > 1:14:34in England, Wales and Scotland. Firstly, he said and Scotland had

1:14:34 > 1:14:40better procedures in place. So what are they doing that is right?One of

1:14:40 > 1:14:43the cardinal points in tackling obesity is prevention. Once obesity

1:14:43 > 1:14:48has set in, it is very, very difficult to get rid of, as many

1:14:48 > 1:14:53people know. So Scotland and Wales have got a much better record on

1:14:53 > 1:14:56their preventative measures, preventative health measures. But we

1:14:56 > 1:15:01are not seeing that same focus on preventative health in England.

1:15:01 > 1:15:06England in fact has seen a 5% cut in a big health services between

1:15:06 > 1:15:102013-14 and the present time, which equates to some £800 million in cuts

1:15:10 > 1:15:14each year. And children are being disproportionately affected. It

1:15:14 > 1:15:18makes no sense whatsoever to be tightfisted, to skimp on prevention,

1:15:18 > 1:15:24because that is really going to be the fundamental way of dealing with

1:15:24 > 1:15:31this problem, and indeed other health problems, as well.

1:15:35 > 1:15:37procedures they have in place, the government saving, they have world

1:15:37 > 1:15:42leading plans in to safeguard child health, vaccinate against some of

1:15:42 > 1:15:47the world's deadliest diseases. Teen pregnancy and child mortality have

1:15:47 > 1:15:53fallen, the soft drink that he has funded Breakfast clubs. In some ways

1:15:53 > 1:16:00they disagree with you.These are all very good things and we wouldn't

1:16:00 > 1:16:06disagree with that at all. We are delighted. What we are not seeing is

1:16:06 > 1:16:10an integrated strategy and we are not seeing a long vision. What we

1:16:10 > 1:16:18are also not seeing is the joined up thinking. It should take place

1:16:18 > 1:16:23across the UK. It seems invidious that the nation should be fragmented

1:16:23 > 1:16:26in the way it addresses its preventative health measures. This

1:16:26 > 1:16:31does not make any sense at all. The facts are quite stark. The majority

1:16:31 > 1:16:36of children who are obese will remain so until adulthood. If you

1:16:36 > 1:16:41are an obese adult this will take a substantial number of years of

1:16:41 > 1:16:46healthy life of your total life expectancy. These are really serious

1:16:46 > 1:16:52issues.You talk about strategy. Have you monitored what difference

1:16:52 > 1:16:56they are making and the performance in each nation? Whether they have

1:16:56 > 1:17:04fewer children who are obese in Wales and Scotland?

1:17:04 > 1:17:06Wales and Scotland?We are monitoring the situation. We have

1:17:06 > 1:17:09been concerned for quite some time. That's why we brought about a

1:17:09 > 1:17:15scorecard. We will certainly be monitoring the situation going

1:17:15 > 1:17:24forward. Change takes time. Children who are obese today will, as I say,

1:17:31 > 1:17:35around in generation of children, it's not going to be something that

1:17:35 > 1:17:41takes place quickly. It will need sustained and long-term visionary

1:17:41 > 1:17:45thinking which is maintained across successive parliaments.Thank you

1:17:45 > 1:17:53very much real-time. Let's find out what is happening with the weather.

1:17:53 > 1:17:59Long gone are the pictures of snow behind you. Far more mild this week.

1:18:03 > 1:18:07We have temperatures up where they shouldn't be. You can put the winter

1:18:07 > 1:18:12jacket at the back of the cupboard. Today, temperatures are on the rise

1:18:12 > 1:18:17thanks to some blustery Southwest winds. You also need something

1:18:17 > 1:18:24waterproof. Bringing the mild air. Those above average temperatures. A

1:18:24 > 1:18:31smattering of blue. Some heady bursts of rain pushing into the west

1:18:31 > 1:18:37of Scotland. They will work their way eastwards. Heavy bursts of rain

1:18:37 > 1:18:42at the moment. They will ease off a little bit. Pushing across to the

1:18:42 > 1:18:49Isle of Man. We've got some rain across eastern England at the moment

1:18:49 > 1:18:52and will reach Norfolk and Suffolk by the end of the rush-hour. Dry

1:18:52 > 1:19:03here at the moment. Quite cloudy, misty over the hills. There will be

1:19:03 > 1:19:08the odd heavy shower to come through the day. A bit more sunshine between

1:19:08 > 1:19:12what showers we do have in the afternoon. Staying dry through the

1:19:12 > 1:19:18second half of the day. South-westerly wind, quite wide

1:19:18 > 1:19:24across the country. 14 degrees in some parts of south-west Scotland.

1:19:24 > 1:19:32Tonight, we stick with the mild theme into the evening. Increasingly

1:19:32 > 1:19:37windy weather after a brief drop of temperatures. We could see some snow

1:19:37 > 1:19:42over the hills of Scotland. Tomorrow, the weather driven by this

1:19:42 > 1:19:50area of low pressure. Life -- lots of isobars. Gale force winds. Some

1:19:50 > 1:19:54very heavy rain swelled to start the day across northern England and

1:19:54 > 1:19:58Wales and the south-west. The rain becomes confined to East Anglia. A

1:19:58 > 1:20:05scattering of showers. Tending wintry across the Scottish hills.

1:20:05 > 1:20:09The mildest weather today, still not bad tomorrow. But backed down into

1:20:09 > 1:20:14single figures were many. The cooler weather at this weather since

1:20:14 > 1:20:21Thursday. Sunshine in blustery showers. Eastern areas, a bit dry

1:20:21 > 1:20:26and brighter. Through Thursday into Friday, we will see frost develop

1:20:26 > 1:20:29here and there. Particularly across northern and eastern parts of the

1:20:29 > 1:20:35country. Friday, quite pleasant. A few showers across the east but most

1:20:35 > 1:20:40places, dry with sunshine. Dan and Louise, milder weather is back for

1:20:40 > 1:20:45the weekend.

1:20:45 > 1:20:45Louise, milder weather is back for the weekend.

1:20:45 > 1:20:54We are looking at the business of sport. Also, easyJet and Vauxhall.

1:20:54 > 1:21:05Also, research and how much money football clubs have been making.

1:21:05 > 1:21:08You won't be surprised to hear that the world's

1:21:08 > 1:21:10biggest football clubs are making more money than ever before.

1:21:10 > 1:21:13Manchester United has topped the table as the richest club.

1:21:13 > 1:21:16The figures show the combined revenues of the top 20 clubs has

1:21:16 > 1:21:18risen 6% to almost £7 billion.

1:21:18 > 1:21:21I'll be talking to the author of the research later.

1:21:21 > 1:21:26Talks between Britain's biggest union and the owners

1:21:26 > 1:21:28of Vauxhall were "frank" but useful, both sides have said.

1:21:28 > 1:21:36The union wants more in investment in jobs at Ellesmere Port

1:21:36 > 1:21:38and they have agreed to continue talks.

1:21:38 > 1:21:45PSA, which also owns Peugeot and Citroen,

1:21:47 > 1:21:50said last year that it wants to build the new Astra

1:21:50 > 1:21:51model at Ellesmere.

1:21:51 > 1:21:54But that has not eased worries about the plant's future.

1:21:54 > 1:21:58Pets at Home.

1:21:58 > 1:22:03It says it has done well on the back of reducing prices and hence

1:22:03 > 1:22:07increased the number of stores and says that that side of the business

1:22:07 > 1:22:11is helping them. Also, from making sure customers have lots of options

1:22:11 > 1:22:16to buy what they call the omni channel capabilities. We don't often

1:22:16 > 1:22:26talk about them at this time. I go to pet shops quite often.Are

1:22:26 > 1:22:31you one of those pet owners who goes wild in a pet store?

1:22:31 > 1:22:36She is one of those pet owners who never stops talking about it.

1:22:36 > 1:22:42Believe me, it is busy. We need her in on the sofa at some point. We

1:22:42 > 1:22:49will wait a little bit. It's dirty enough as it is.

1:22:49 > 1:22:52In a move that could revolutionise the way we buy our groceries,

1:22:52 > 1:22:54Amazon has opened a supermarket without check-outs.

1:22:54 > 1:22:56Hundreds of cameras and sensors track the customer, before

1:22:56 > 1:22:58charging their credit card via an app.

1:22:58 > 1:23:01But this isn't the only example of how new technology

1:23:01 > 1:23:03and artificial intelligence is changing the way we shop.

1:23:03 > 1:23:06BBC Click's Lara Newington, has been to one store

1:23:06 > 1:23:14in North London to find out more.

1:23:17 > 1:23:22Unexpected item in bagging area. Please remove item for continuing.

1:23:22 > 1:23:26The inevitable words when you are in a hurry and the queue for the good

1:23:26 > 1:23:30old-fashioned checkout had been so much longer but things could be

1:23:30 > 1:23:37about to change. Well, it is time for a rather unconventional shopping

1:23:37 > 1:23:42experience. The first thing I'm going to do is get my bag out. This

1:23:42 > 1:23:47north London convenience store is trialling a prototype instant

1:23:47 > 1:23:50checkout with the finished product being prepared for its debut later

1:23:50 > 1:23:56this year. Because when it comes to actually checking out, the RFID tags

1:23:56 > 1:24:00which sit on all the products will be instantly scanned in one go, you

1:24:00 > 1:24:04can just put everything in here straightaway although it does sort

1:24:04 > 1:24:09of feel wrong. And something sweet. So I have everything they need in my

1:24:09 > 1:24:14shopping bag but I can't leave just yet. In fact, this is the fun bit.

1:24:14 > 1:24:18It's time to the instant checkout. I popped down my bag full of items and

1:24:18 > 1:24:26immediately, what's in that bag seamlessly comes up on the screen.

1:24:26 > 1:24:29At this point, you get out your smartphone where you should have

1:24:29 > 1:24:32downloaded the app and had your payment details securely stored. You

1:24:32 > 1:24:36should insure your Bluetooth is on and you just tap the reader. A

1:24:36 > 1:24:39process so quick that even if the store becomes busy, a queue is

1:24:39 > 1:24:44unlikely to develop. So now, I can actually lead. But what of the

1:24:44 > 1:24:48public been making of this?It really quick, it's excellent.I

1:24:48 > 1:24:53really must say would prefer to pay a person.I found that really cool.

1:24:53 > 1:24:57One thing I struggle with self checkouts is finding the barcoding

1:24:57 > 1:25:01scanning it and it's really annoying and the fact that I put it on there,

1:25:01 > 1:25:06it's done.IBM's long-term hope is that this technology to be rolled

1:25:06 > 1:25:10out along all areas of retail. Alongside suitable checkout areas

1:25:10 > 1:25:14and the repositioning of shop assistants to assist you around the

1:25:14 > 1:25:18shop. Of course, security has been treated as a priority, with a cloud

1:25:18 > 1:25:22-based payment system meaning no details are actually presented in

1:25:22 > 1:25:26store. But for those customers who are happy to share their behaviour

1:25:26 > 1:25:31and habits, artificial intelligence will come into play to combine that

1:25:31 > 1:25:36information or data on their surroundings.Weather and traffic

1:25:36 > 1:25:40for a convenience store like this will drastically change what people

1:25:40 > 1:25:45are going to come in and buy, how many people are going to come in and

1:25:45 > 1:25:48when. Being able to use all those mass volumes of data, the analytics,

1:25:48 > 1:25:52all that merged together means we will be able to tell the retailer

1:25:52 > 1:25:59watch to keep in stock and when. Meanwhile, yesterday's launch of

1:25:59 > 1:26:05Amazon's cashier was store was successful and after being tracked

1:26:05 > 1:26:08by cameras and sensors to see what they pick up, have their Amazon

1:26:08 > 1:26:12account instantly charged. But while this sort of convenience may appeal

1:26:12 > 1:26:19to some, you can't of course please everyone. You liked it but on

1:26:19 > 1:26:23balance, you prefer a person.I would still prefer Burson.Lara

1:26:23 > 1:26:28Lewington, BBC Breakfast.

1:26:28 > 1:26:36The thing is, we are chatters. If that's the future, I'm out. What are

1:26:36 > 1:26:40you going to do? I like the idea of having somebody you see regularly in

1:26:40 > 1:26:44the shop. The removal of other humans from our lives, I'm sure

1:26:44 > 1:26:53that's not a positive thing. We like talking to people. I like random

1:26:53 > 1:26:57conversations. It is what makes my world good.

1:26:57 > 1:30:19What a massive broccoli you have there. He will talk to about

1:30:19 > 1:30:20in half an hour.

1:30:20 > 1:30:23Plenty more on our website at the usual address with updates

1:30:44 > 1:30:48that four out of five obese children will continue to battle ill health

1:30:48 > 1:30:52throughout their lives.

1:30:52 > 1:30:54Westminster insists it has world-leading plans in place

1:30:58 > 1:31:03mortality have fallen to all-time lows.

1:31:03 > 1:31:05The BBC understands the Foreign Secretary will use

1:31:05 > 1:31:08a Cabinet meeting this morning to push for an extra £100 million

1:31:08 > 1:31:10a week of funding for the NHS in England.

1:31:10 > 1:31:13He will make his case when the Health Secretary,

1:31:13 > 1:31:16Jeremy Hunt, gives an update on how the NHS is coping this winter.

1:31:16 > 1:31:19Downing Street says the NHS was given top priority

1:31:19 > 1:31:21in the Budget, with an extra £2.8 billion committed

1:31:21 > 1:31:29to funding the service.

1:31:30 > 1:31:32Nigel Farage has said the refusal of the Ukip leader,

1:31:32 > 1:31:35Henry Bolton, to resign could be a lifeline for the party.

1:31:35 > 1:31:3814 members of Mr Bolton's senior team have quit

1:31:38 > 1:31:40following the controversy over his former girlfriend making

1:31:40 > 1:31:41racist remarks about Meghan Markle.

1:31:41 > 1:31:44Writing for the Daily Telegraph website, Mr Farage said,

1:31:44 > 1:31:47if he had the courage, Mr Bolton could use the situation

1:31:47 > 1:31:48to force Ukip to change.

1:31:48 > 1:31:51Car manufacturing giant Jaguar Land Rover, has announced it

1:31:51 > 1:31:53will cut production at its Halewood plant in Merseyside.

1:31:53 > 1:31:55The firm had reported experiencing a record year,

1:31:55 > 1:31:59but says it is reviewing its plans because of a fall in demand,

1:31:59 > 1:32:01because of uncertainty over Brexit and consumer concerns over

1:32:01 > 1:32:09the future of diesel vehicles.

1:32:10 > 1:32:12The US government shutdown ended overnight after Republicans

1:32:12 > 1:32:15and Democrats voted for a temporary funding bill.

1:32:15 > 1:32:17Congress passed the legislation after the Democrats accepted

1:32:17 > 1:32:20the promise of a broad debate on the issue of immigration.

1:32:20 > 1:32:23The so-called continuing resolution keeps the government funded until 8

1:32:23 > 1:32:26February, in the hope that Congress can reach a longer-term budget

1:32:26 > 1:32:33agreement in the meantime.

1:32:56 > 1:32:59Charing Cross station has been closed and an area around the Strand

1:32:59 > 1:33:03in Central London has been cordoned off because of a gas leak.

1:33:03 > 1:33:05Around 1,500 people were evacuated overnight from a nightclub

1:33:05 > 1:33:08and a hotel.

1:33:08 > 1:33:11Motorists have also been advised to avoid the area,

1:33:11 > 1:33:13as a number of roads have been closed.

1:33:13 > 1:33:17The London Fire Brigade says they are still investigating the cause.

1:33:17 > 1:33:19Neil Diamond has announced his retirement from touring,

1:33:24 > 1:33:25with great reluctance.

1:33:25 > 1:33:28In a statement, he apologised to fans who had already bought

1:33:28 > 1:33:31tickets for his tour in Australia and New Zealand.

1:33:31 > 1:33:39He said he would continue writing and recording.

1:33:44 > 1:33:48You are watching Breakfast from the BBC, and if you have just switched

1:33:48 > 1:33:53on and you are wondering what happened to Kyle Edmund, well,

1:33:53 > 1:33:59Sonali can tell us. Great news this morning.Fantastic news, he becomes

1:33:59 > 1:34:05only the sixth mail Grand Slam semifinalist in the open era from

1:34:05 > 1:34:09Britain. He will move into the world's top 30 after the tournament,

1:34:09 > 1:34:17meeting either Rafael Nadal or Marin Cilic on Thursday.And it was a

1:34:17 > 1:34:20really convincing win.He really held his nerve, Grigor Dimitrov

1:34:20 > 1:34:24wasn't at his best, I think he had seven double faults, but that is not

1:34:24 > 1:34:29to take anything away from Kyle Edmund, who really held his nerve,

1:34:29 > 1:34:35winning the first set and coming out talking, basically. Now he is

1:34:35 > 1:34:36through to the Australian Open semifinals.

1:34:36 > 1:34:39Let's have a look at the winning point.

1:34:39 > 1:34:42An ace from Edmund brought up match point, and then Dimitrov sliced

1:34:42 > 1:34:47a backhand long, which was confirmed by Hawkeye.

1:34:47 > 1:34:51He will play top seed Rafael Nadal or sixth seed Marin Cilic

1:34:51 > 1:34:59on Thursday for a place in the Australian Open final.

1:35:00 > 1:35:03That will be a night match in Melbourne, so everyone can watch it

1:35:03 > 1:35:09during the day. I am not sure how many people will go to work in the

1:35:09 > 1:35:09morning.

1:35:09 > 1:35:12Joining us now from East Yorkshire is Kyle Edmund's friend Tom Davies.

1:35:12 > 1:35:17Good morning. I should say congratulations to you, were you

1:35:17 > 1:35:21watching?I watched the last set, the end of the last set.You didn't

1:35:21 > 1:35:27get up at 3:30am on the morning? You call yourself a friend!A little bit

1:35:27 > 1:35:34early for me, that one.You have known Kyle since you were eight

1:35:34 > 1:35:40years old, so how do you feel?Yes, great to see him achieve something

1:35:40 > 1:35:44like this, and the work he puts in over the years, and for someone who

1:35:44 > 1:35:48is local to us, to do something like this is great.And he showed

1:35:48 > 1:35:52strength on court, holding his nerve, and in the post interview he

1:35:52 > 1:35:57was really calm as well, not overly excited at all. I know he is known

1:35:57 > 1:36:03as a bit of a shy character. How do you think he will handle the media

1:36:03 > 1:36:07attention? He says he kind of know is how it feels to be Andy Murray at

1:36:07 > 1:36:14the moment, with the attention on him.Yes, Kyle is a very grounded

1:36:14 > 1:36:18person, just the way he deals with things and the way he is, obviously

1:36:18 > 1:36:21it is something that has helped him achieve what he has achieved. It is

1:36:21 > 1:36:26part and parcel of the game now, unfortunately, with how successful

1:36:26 > 1:36:29he is, there will be a lot more attention on him. But he will do

1:36:29 > 1:36:36what he needs to do and get ready for the semifinals.You say he is a

1:36:36 > 1:36:41down-to-earth character. How much is his mental strength part of this

1:36:41 > 1:36:47when?Yes, massive. I mean, tennis is a very mental sport anyway. And

1:36:47 > 1:36:52to get to that level you have to be tough, and it has been something for

1:36:52 > 1:36:56me seeing him towards the end of last year at the start of this year,

1:36:56 > 1:37:00there is a huge improvement in his mental game which has seen him get

1:37:00 > 1:37:04to the semi-final of the first Grand Slam of the year, and massive

1:37:04 > 1:37:06confidence going into the semi-final. Nothing to lose if he

1:37:06 > 1:37:11plays as he has been playing, and a big chance again.On Thursday he

1:37:11 > 1:37:17plays for a place in the Australian Open final. Will he allow himself to

1:37:17 > 1:37:21enjoy this moment and celebrate it, or will he only do that when he has

1:37:21 > 1:37:26finished playing?Of course, it is a massive achievement and he will

1:37:26 > 1:37:30enjoy it today, but when it comes tomorrow he will be back on the

1:37:30 > 1:37:33practice court, focusing on the semi-final. It is a big opportunity

1:37:33 > 1:37:39for him to go one further, and he will not let that opportunity go.

1:37:39 > 1:37:43Have you messaged him yet?A brief message yesterday before he went on,

1:37:43 > 1:37:48I have not spoken to him after the match.What did you say in that

1:37:48 > 1:37:53message?Just good luck, leave everything on there, keep doing what

1:37:53 > 1:37:57you have been doing. He knows what he needs to do, and obviously I woke

1:37:57 > 1:38:01up this morning and he has gone and done it.Such brilliant news. Thank

1:38:01 > 1:38:06you so much for joining us this morning.No problem, thank you very

1:38:06 > 1:38:07much.

1:38:07 > 1:38:09After brilliantly ending Manchester City's unbeaten run last

1:38:09 > 1:38:11weekend, Liverpool followed up that result with defeat

1:38:11 > 1:38:13against the Premier League's bottom side.

1:38:13 > 1:38:15Swansea City stayed in touch with their relegation rivals

1:38:15 > 1:38:18with a crucial 1-0 win at the Liberty Stadium.

1:38:18 > 1:38:20Alfie Mawson's first-half goal saw them move to within three

1:38:20 > 1:38:21points of safety.

1:38:21 > 1:38:27Liverpool missed the chance to go third.

1:38:27 > 1:38:29Tributes have been paid to the former England captain

1:38:29 > 1:38:32Jimmy Armfield, who died yesterday at the age of 82.

1:38:32 > 1:38:34Described as a national hero and a football legend,

1:38:34 > 1:38:37Armfield made 43 appearances for his country and a record 627

1:38:37 > 1:38:40for Blackpool, staying with the club his whole career.

1:38:40 > 1:38:42After playing, he went on to become a manager,

1:38:42 > 1:38:50and worked as a summariser for BBC Radio for almost 40 years.

1:38:51 > 1:38:53I've always tried to earn my coin.

1:38:53 > 1:38:56I think that's the thing, really, and I think that came

1:38:56 > 1:39:00with my generation.

1:39:00 > 1:39:03I think most players in my time, as well, have done that.

1:39:03 > 1:39:06I've always tried to be loyal, and I've never left Blackpool,

1:39:06 > 1:39:07in that respect.

1:39:07 > 1:39:10It's just the generation I was brought up in.

1:39:10 > 1:39:13So you want to be known as a reader, and as loyal?

1:39:13 > 1:39:14Yes, I think so.

1:39:14 > 1:39:22And a half-decent player.

1:39:22 > 1:39:26So many of us grew up listening to that voice.

1:39:26 > 1:39:28The Scottish Football Association's search for a manager continues,

1:39:28 > 1:39:30after Northern Ireland boss Michael O'Neill

1:39:30 > 1:39:30declined their offer.

1:39:30 > 1:39:34O'Neill said he had given the matter a great deal of thought,

1:39:34 > 1:39:36and had been the preferred candidate for the role.

1:39:36 > 1:39:39Scotland have been without a manager since Gordon Strachan left

1:39:39 > 1:39:42in October after failing to qualify for the World Cup.

1:39:42 > 1:39:45Ben Stokes has revealed on Twitter that he won't join up with England

1:39:45 > 1:39:48for the tour of New Zealand until after his court appearance

1:39:48 > 1:39:49on 13 February.

1:39:49 > 1:39:52The all-rounder is due at Bristol Magistrates' Court

1:39:52 > 1:39:55on the same day he was supposed to be making his international

1:39:55 > 1:39:56comeback in a Twenty20 match.

1:39:56 > 1:39:59Stokes has been charged with affray after an incident outside a Bristol

1:39:59 > 1:40:00nightclub in September.

1:40:00 > 1:40:03England's netballers have narrowly lost to world champions Australia

1:40:03 > 1:40:05in the second match of their Quad Series.

1:40:05 > 1:40:07The Roses were searching for their first win over

1:40:07 > 1:40:10the top-ranked side in five years, but just couldn't fight back

1:40:10 > 1:40:12in the final quarter at London's Copperbox Arena,

1:40:12 > 1:40:16losing 50-46.

1:40:16 > 1:40:19England will now travel to Johannesburg to face South Africa

1:40:19 > 1:40:27in the final match on Sunday.

1:40:27 > 1:40:30Now, football teams are coming up with more creative and innovative

1:40:30 > 1:40:33ways than ever to announce their new signings, but how

1:40:33 > 1:40:38about this from Manchester United last night?

1:40:38 > 1:40:40Alexis Sanchez was rumoured to be signing for them

1:40:40 > 1:40:41for several days now.

1:40:41 > 1:40:44It has been made official, and this was released

1:40:44 > 1:40:46on United's Twitter feed, the Chilean forward apparently

1:40:46 > 1:40:52playing Glory, Glory Man United on the piano.

1:40:52 > 1:40:56I thought you were about to say he will be available for playing at

1:40:56 > 1:41:01parties.Maybe that is a post- career. It is a deal worth £600,000

1:41:01 > 1:41:08a week in total.We will talk about money in football in a minute, but

1:41:08 > 1:41:13on Kyle Edmund, whenever anyone in British tennis does well, Henman

1:41:13 > 1:41:20Hill...And we have a few options. I have got involved. Currently we have

1:41:20 > 1:41:33four options. You have Edmund Embankment, Edmund Hillary, Kyle's

1:41:33 > 1:41:43Embankments, or the record, Kyle-imanjaro.I think Louise's

1:41:43 > 1:41:51option is great.Edmund Hillary, I just think it is clever. Only 9%

1:41:51 > 1:41:58with that one. 61% for Kyle-imanjaro.And we will talk more

1:41:58 > 1:42:00about money in football.

1:42:00 > 1:42:03A record ten English sides feature in the annual list of the 20

1:42:03 > 1:42:05football clubs which generate the most revenue.

1:42:05 > 1:42:08Steph has been looking into where that money comes from,

1:42:08 > 1:42:14and what it means for clubs as a business.

1:42:14 > 1:42:17Manchester United have topped the table of the world's 20

1:42:17 > 1:42:20richest football clubs.

1:42:20 > 1:42:23That is according to research done by accountancy firm Deloitte.

1:42:23 > 1:42:27You can see the top five here.

1:42:27 > 1:42:29Its Football Money League, based on season 2016-17,

1:42:29 > 1:42:33also shows the combined revenues of the 20 clubs has risen 6%

1:42:33 > 1:42:35to almost £7 billion, a new record.

1:42:35 > 1:42:38Dan Jones is from the research team at Deloitte who pulled

1:42:38 > 1:42:42these figures together.

1:42:42 > 1:42:46Good morning to you. This is an annual thing, isn't it, for us to

1:42:46 > 1:42:49chat about what is going on in money and football, and every single time

1:42:49 > 1:42:55it is going up. And this is a record, tell us about it.It is the

1:42:55 > 1:42:5821st time we have done it, and it has gone up every time. Manchester

1:42:58 > 1:43:03United topping the table for the 10th time. This is the narrowest

1:43:03 > 1:43:08margin ever, they just shaded it from Real Madrid, by winning the

1:43:08 > 1:43:12Europa League competition. That is sometimes run down as not as

1:43:12 > 1:43:16important as the Champions League, but that one game against Ajax made

1:43:16 > 1:43:21the number one, not number two.So where is the money coming from,

1:43:21 > 1:43:25generally?So out of every £20 that comes into these big 20 clubs, nine

1:43:25 > 1:43:34towns of it comes from broadcasting -- £9 of it. The rest comes from

1:43:34 > 1:43:36sponsorships, advertising, merchandising and things like that.

1:43:36 > 1:43:40So broadcasting is the biggest thing but not the only thing. One

1:43:40 > 1:43:44important thing is how important stadium is still up for clubs,

1:43:44 > 1:43:48because 70,000 people watching the match is what people on TV and

1:43:48 > 1:43:51sponsors get hooked into as well. People talk about the match itself

1:43:51 > 1:43:55not being that important but it is still a fundamental part of what

1:43:55 > 1:43:58these clubs are about.Yes, because it is interesting when we talk about

1:43:58 > 1:44:02football and the money in it, there is always criticism about how much

1:44:02 > 1:44:07fans are charged for ticket prices, and one of our business presenters

1:44:07 > 1:44:10interviewed Vincent Kompany about this, who said that ticket prices

1:44:10 > 1:44:13should be lowered to just keep the atmosphere and make it easier for

1:44:13 > 1:44:19everyone to be able to go. What are your thoughts on that?I think the

1:44:19 > 1:44:22things that Vincent Kompany had to say were very interesting and on our

1:44:22 > 1:44:26list is here you have a couple of English clubs, West Ham and Everton,

1:44:26 > 1:44:30both of whom have appeared in the top 20 which they don't do every

1:44:30 > 1:44:34year, but they have reduced ticket prices and use that as a means of

1:44:34 > 1:44:37building that atmosphere and getting success on the pitch that way. It is

1:44:37 > 1:44:40definitely something top of mind for clubs, how to get that balance

1:44:40 > 1:44:44right. A lot of times they have demand for tickets, but making it

1:44:44 > 1:44:50accessible.And we talk about the top 20, and we can see the top five

1:44:50 > 1:44:55here, how different is it if you are not in the Premier League? Like my

1:44:55 > 1:44:58club, Middlesbrough. You can think all football clubs are rich, but the

1:44:58 > 1:45:04reality is, there is a lot that aren't.There is a huge gap to win

1:45:04 > 1:45:07the championship and the Premier League. We have Bournemouth in the

1:45:07 > 1:45:11top 30, the first time we did this, Bournemouth had a turnover of £1

1:45:11 > 1:45:15million and they were down on the 83rd spot, among the richest clubs

1:45:15 > 1:45:19in the UK. It shows that progression on the pitch into the Premier League

1:45:19 > 1:45:24is the crucial thing to get you into this list.And the buying and

1:45:24 > 1:45:27selling of players always makes the headlines, not least today with

1:45:27 > 1:45:33Sanchez and the record deal. Will that ever hit a peak? A deal worth

1:45:33 > 1:45:38£14 million is incredible.It is, but it keeps going because the money

1:45:38 > 1:45:42is there. And the key thing for most clubs as they are not about trying

1:45:42 > 1:45:47to make a profit to win matches, and away you win matches is to have the

1:45:47 > 1:45:51best plays you can get, and that cost. With the Sanchez deal, people

1:45:51 > 1:45:55look at the whole package. What do we have to pay to the club, the

1:45:55 > 1:45:59agent, and a player in wages? You have to look at it as a whole

1:45:59 > 1:46:02package, they broadly have a lower transfer fee, but the player has

1:46:02 > 1:46:07done well in wages because of that. Lovely to talk to you about this.

1:46:07 > 1:46:13That's it for me for now.

1:46:19 > 1:46:21about money in football. There is. The weather, Matt easier to tell is

1:46:21 > 1:46:24a more about it. Is it more normal this week?

1:46:24 > 1:46:29a more about it. Is it more normal this week? Today, probably a bit

1:46:29 > 1:46:34warmer than it should be. Quite a mild day. A little bit of mourning

1:46:34 > 1:46:44brightness. Some rather colourful skies. A rather grey staff are many.

1:46:44 > 1:46:52It is milder. The temperatures boosted today. Out there at the

1:46:52 > 1:47:02moment, on the chart, its own story. Some heavy rain pushing in. That is

1:47:02 > 1:47:09going to push its way eastwards. Largely dry through the rush-hour.

1:47:09 > 1:47:13The rain in Northern Ireland will come and go. It is going to turn

1:47:13 > 1:47:22wedged across the Isle of Man. Norfolk and Suffolk, you have had a

1:47:22 > 1:47:28dry morning so far. Further west, the rain lighter and patchy. A bit

1:47:28 > 1:47:37misty over some hills. A little but sunshine here and there. More of you

1:47:37 > 1:47:46will see the sunshine. While you've got the sunshine, you could see

1:47:46 > 1:47:54temperatures in south-east Scotland, 14 degrees. 15 Celsius, way above

1:47:54 > 1:48:01where we should be. Temperatures will temporarily drop in Scotland.

1:48:01 > 1:48:07We will see some snow for a time. Temperatures above where they should

1:48:07 > 1:48:17be. It's all tied in with this area of low pressure. Tomorrow will be

1:48:17 > 1:48:21windier than today. Severe gales across the north-west of the

1:48:21 > 1:48:26country.

1:48:26 > 1:48:29country. It will sit across south-eastern East Anglia, even

1:48:29 > 1:48:35towards the end of the day. There could be some minor flooding around.

1:48:35 > 1:48:45Sunshine and flowers -- showers many. 6- nine degrees.

1:48:45 > 1:48:47many. 6- nine degrees. Sunshine and showers. Showers most prevalent the

1:48:47 > 1:48:55West. As those clear into Thursday night. The chance of a frost

1:48:55 > 1:48:58developing, particularly in northern and eastern parts of the country.

1:48:58 > 1:49:03That leads us into a reasonably pleasant day. Some warning rain to

1:49:03 > 1:49:11the north-east of England. That will clear and lots of sunshine around.

1:49:11 > 1:49:14Nice to have a little bit of sunshine.

1:49:14 > 1:49:16They're designed to help ease traffic congestion,

1:49:16 > 1:49:19through variable speed limits and using the hard shoulder

1:49:19 > 1:49:21as an extra lane during busy times.

1:49:21 > 1:49:23But a survey of AA members has ranked so-called "smart

1:49:23 > 1:49:29motorways" joint-second amongst the most dangerous roads

1:49:29 > 1:49:30in the country.

1:49:30 > 1:49:33(PRES) It comes as Highways England has promised to increase lay-bys

1:49:33 > 1:49:40in order to improve safety.

1:49:40 > 1:49:43We'll discuss this in a moment, but first let's take a look at how

1:49:43 > 1:49:47smart motorways work.

1:49:47 > 1:49:55Motorways are becoming smarter to help traffic flow smoother. For

1:49:55 > 1:50:02instance, when Alleyne is closed for safety reasons, you will

1:50:02 > 1:50:03instance, when Alleyne is closed for safety reasons, you will see a

1:50:03 > 1:50:06Redbacks clearly displayed. You will need to move into another lane.

1:50:06 > 1:50:14Signs will an it -- will show it is reopened. When your car breaks down,

1:50:14 > 1:50:18you pull over into the hard shoulder. But now the hot shoulder

1:50:18 > 1:50:22can become a driving lane and you will have to come up at the next

1:50:22 > 1:50:28service is exit or emergency refuge area.

1:50:28 > 1:50:32We're joined now by Paul Hutton, who's the editor of Smart Highways

1:50:32 > 1:50:35Magazine and Ann Helsby who's car broke down on a stretch of motorway

1:50:35 > 1:50:37where there was no hard shoulder.

1:50:37 > 1:50:40The President of the AA - Edmund King is also in our London

1:50:40 > 1:50:47studio.

1:50:47 > 1:50:52You have done this research. It seems people are quite concerned. It

1:50:52 > 1:50:57is is it because we are not accustomed to these motorways?The

1:50:57 > 1:51:02main concern is that people breakdown on the smart motorway.

1:51:02 > 1:51:07They are then stuck in a live lane where the advice is, put on your

1:51:07 > 1:51:14hazard lights and dial 999. If you can move over to left-hand side, and

1:51:14 > 1:51:19it is possible to get out of the left-hand side, you can. We have

1:51:19 > 1:51:24seen a lot of instances on smart motorways, if you look in local

1:51:24 > 1:51:28press cuttings, where that has happened and another vehicles, and

1:51:28 > 1:51:33smashed into the back. That is the concern. We have argued for five

1:51:33 > 1:51:39years that you need twice as many lay byes on smart motorways. If the

1:51:39 > 1:51:46driver can see a layby ahead of them, 95% will get to that layby. If

1:51:46 > 1:51:50they can't, 55% will only drive half a mile and basically, they are

1:51:50 > 1:51:55sitting ducks.And, you can hopefully tell us about your

1:51:55 > 1:52:06experience.We broke down on the M42 on the hottest day of the year last

1:52:06 > 1:52:10year. We were near a refuge area. We drove in and managed to stop before

1:52:10 > 1:52:17we hit her. There was absolutely to stand. Enough room to get out of the

1:52:17 > 1:52:24car. It was 30 plus degrees. We had the dog in the car, we couldn't even

1:52:24 > 1:52:32get him out. We were facing the road. When I got home, the AA came

1:52:32 > 1:52:37and moved the lady in front of us. We were not in the AA. He said you

1:52:37 > 1:52:42can't stay here, it is so dangerous and he got us off the motorway.

1:52:42 > 1:52:46Motor Highways England and the transport Department, they said, why

1:52:46 > 1:52:53didn't the traffic officers help us? The answer was, you weren't in an

1:52:53 > 1:52:56emergency, you were perfectly safe. Traffic whizzing past us. We

1:52:56 > 1:53:06couldn't get away from the car. We were like sitting ducks.Paul

1:53:06 > 1:53:11Harton, presumably, do you see a benefit in smart motorways. And what

1:53:11 > 1:53:16about this point of us being sitting ducks.One of the things when I

1:53:16 > 1:53:21first wrote about smart motorways, the refuge areas needed to be closer

1:53:21 > 1:53:25together. The issue is, we've got a capacity problem and a Budget

1:53:25 > 1:53:29problem. Trying to build our way with more lanes on the motorway

1:53:29 > 1:53:33would be the ideal thing to do but there is in the Budget for it.

1:53:33 > 1:53:37Consequently using technology to monitor the way people are moving

1:53:37 > 1:53:42along the roads. There are cameras that will see if you have stopped,

1:53:42 > 1:53:50there are radars to see if you have stopped. In

1:53:50 > 1:53:53stopped. In theory, the Redbacks should go up above the running lane.

1:53:53 > 1:54:01You should be safe. There is an awful lot more technology than there

1:54:01 > 1:54:05would be where on the hard shoulder, you're on a dangerous position, even

1:54:05 > 1:54:13if you have that laid yourself. There is that nor the appetite to

1:54:13 > 1:54:20spend on widening --a winding motorways.If there had been a

1:54:20 > 1:54:24consultation on this after the 40 to experiment, we said straightaway,

1:54:24 > 1:54:29you need twice as many refuge areas. If they are built in the earliest

1:54:29 > 1:54:33stage, it is much more cost-effective. The problem is, we

1:54:33 > 1:54:37are not getting the congestion benefits because 38% of drivers,

1:54:37 > 1:54:42they do not use the inside lane because they are worried that there

1:54:42 > 1:54:47will be broken down vehicle in front. And if there is a broken down

1:54:47 > 1:54:51vehicle and the Redbacks comes up, you are putting out one or two lanes

1:54:51 > 1:54:56of traffic which causes immense congestion. Where is it that vehicle

1:54:56 > 1:55:01can get onto a layby or a hard shoulder, it doesn't cause

1:55:01 > 1:55:06congestion. We need to go back to the drawing board. Motorists are

1:55:06 > 1:55:09worried, we are worried, we have been consistent in calling per twice

1:55:09 > 1:55:14as many lay byes. We know Highways England are looking for it. We

1:55:14 > 1:55:22haven't seen the full report about what they are proposing to do.

1:55:22 > 1:55:26Highways England say they are planning to increase the amount of

1:55:26 > 1:55:32lay byes. 1.5 miles will be reduced to a mile to provide a greater

1:55:32 > 1:55:40reassurance. They also said they are going to get bright orange surfaces

1:55:40 > 1:55:45and other things as well. And just briefly, what would have helped you

1:55:45 > 1:55:52in that instance?The traffic officers passed us. The other thing

1:55:52 > 1:55:59we didn't know, you are supposed to use the SOS phone. We used our

1:55:59 > 1:56:03mobile, as did the woman in front. You should have used the phone in

1:56:03 > 1:56:08the layby.But they wouldn't have come to us because what the Highways

1:56:08 > 1:56:14Agency entrance for departments say is that you are not in an emergency.

1:56:14 > 1:56:18Sorry, if they are stuck there with all these boats and caravans

1:56:18 > 1:56:26whizzing past, they might have thought differently.Alan is saying,

1:56:26 > 1:56:31these are anything but smart, very discomforting to drive on. Vicki

1:56:31 > 1:56:34says variable signs are not very smart at the moment. They usually

1:56:34 > 1:59:58aren't accurate or believed.

1:59:58 > 2:00:00with a little bit of sunshine.

2:00:00 > 2:00:02I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

2:00:02 > 2:00:04in half an hour.

2:00:04 > 2:00:06Plenty more on our website at the usual address with updates

2:00:06 > 2:00:08on that gas leak.

2:01:56 > 2:01:57of supermarkets without check outs.

2:01:57 > 2:02:03And Matt has the weather.

2:02:03 > 2:02:08forget the wintry chill of the last few weeks, and incredibly mild day

2:02:08 > 2:02:12today, especially when the sun is out later.A little rain for the

2:02:12 > 2:02:16morning rush hour. All the details and 15 minutes.

2:02:16 > 2:02:18Good morning. First, our main story.

2:02:18 > 2:02:20England is lagging behind Scotland and Wales when it comes

2:02:20 > 2:02:22to introducing measures to improve child health, according

2:02:22 > 2:02:23to a new report.

2:02:23 > 2:02:25The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says

2:02:25 > 2:02:27children "deserve better", but Westminster insists it has

2:02:27 > 2:02:28"world-leading plans" in place.

2:02:28 > 2:02:31The college also warns that obesity could cause children to face

2:02:31 > 2:02:32a lifelong battle with poor health.

2:02:32 > 2:02:40Our Health Correspondent, Dominic Hughes, has more.

2:02:40 > 2:02:42Being healthy when you are young makes a big difference

2:02:42 > 2:02:45to your chances of good health in later life.

2:02:45 > 2:02:48At an after-school gym session in Manchester are sisters

2:02:48 > 2:02:51Grace and Mia.

2:02:51 > 2:02:54Both of them enjoy the rewards a work-out gives them.

2:02:54 > 2:02:56Fitter, confident.

2:02:56 > 2:02:59Just happier with yourself, yeah.

2:02:59 > 2:03:02Personally, I just feel good about myself, think I've done well,

2:03:02 > 2:03:04and achieve better stuff.

2:03:04 > 2:03:07But, when it comes to the health of children and young people,

2:03:07 > 2:03:10a report out last year showed the UK was lagging behind other

2:03:10 > 2:03:12European nations.

2:03:12 > 2:03:18So, one year on, has the situation improved?

2:03:18 > 2:03:19In Scotland, there is praise for a new mental health strategy,

2:03:19 > 2:03:22and better support for mothers who breast-feed.

2:03:22 > 2:03:25Likewise in Wales, where a smoking ban in playgrounds

2:03:25 > 2:03:26has been introduced.

2:03:26 > 2:03:28But the report says cuts to public health budgets in England

2:03:28 > 2:03:31are hitting children's services hard, and the issue doesn't get

2:03:31 > 2:03:34the same political attention.

2:03:34 > 2:03:36A healthy child makes a healthy adult.

2:03:36 > 2:03:39A healthy adult is a productive adult, and a productive adult

2:03:39 > 2:03:44population is good for the economy.

2:03:44 > 2:03:47It makes no sense whatsoever to not really target the preservation

2:03:47 > 2:03:52of health in childhood.

2:03:52 > 2:03:54The Department of Health in England says it has world-leading plans

2:03:54 > 2:03:58in place to combat obesity and improve mental health,

2:03:58 > 2:04:01and the sugar tax is funding breakfast clubs and sports.

2:04:01 > 2:04:02Push back with your legs...

2:04:02 > 2:04:05But this report warns that, if our children and young people

2:04:05 > 2:04:08don't get a good healthy start in life, they are more likely

2:04:08 > 2:04:09to struggle as adults.

2:04:09 > 2:04:17Dominic Hughes, BBC News.

2:04:18 > 2:04:20British number two tennis player, Kyle Edmund, has beaten

2:04:20 > 2:04:22the world number three, Grigor Dimitrov, to reach the semi

2:04:22 > 2:04:27finals of the Australian Open.

2:04:27 > 2:04:30He's already said he believes he can win a grand slam.

2:04:30 > 2:04:32Sonali's here - how big an achievement is this and how

2:04:32 > 2:04:40much further can he go?

2:04:40 > 2:04:44We've all been watching. He won just as we were coming to the sport a

2:04:44 > 2:04:49couple of hours ago. Brilliant news. World number 49, he will now be in

2:04:49 > 2:04:55the top 30 after this tournament, maybe around 25, but what an

2:04:55 > 2:04:59achievement! Joining some of his idols. He is only the sixth British

2:04:59 > 2:05:05man to be in the grand slam semifinal in the open error, and a

2:05:05 > 2:05:16fantastic achievement. Andy Murray summed it up when he tweeted, wow.

2:05:16 > 2:05:20He takes British number one from Andy Murray, doesn't he?Almost

2:05:20 > 2:05:24unthinkable. It was a brave performance today. He probably

2:05:24 > 2:05:31wasn't at his best, but neither was Grigor Dimitrov. It just shows what

2:05:31 > 2:05:41he can do. Leon Smith, the Davis Cup captain who won the Davis Cup with

2:05:41 > 2:05:45them to eat it, I have just given him the biggest man how and I hope I

2:05:45 > 2:05:51haven't injured him ahead of Thursday. No rest for Kyle Edmund.

2:05:51 > 2:05:54Thank you.

2:05:54 > 2:05:56Concerns about the financial pressures on the NHS in England

2:05:56 > 2:05:59are expected to be discussed at a Cabinet meeting this morning.

2:05:59 > 2:06:00It's understood the Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson,

2:06:00 > 2:06:04will call for the service to receive an extra 100 million pounds a week.

2:06:04 > 2:06:06He'll make his case when the Health Secretary,

2:06:06 > 2:06:11Jeremy Hunt, gives an update on how the NHS is coping this winter.

2:06:11 > 2:06:13It comes as fresh evidence has emerged of the intense strain

2:06:13 > 2:06:21hospitals across the UK are now under.

2:06:22 > 2:06:26Our political correspondent, Chris Mason, joins us now.

2:06:26 > 2:06:29Chris, the Department of Health says it has already committed millions

2:06:29 > 2:06:31of pounds in additional funding to the health service,

2:06:31 > 2:06:33so why is the Foreign Secretary expected to push for more?

2:06:33 > 2:06:39Boris Johnson is not averse to a spot of extracurricular freelancing,

2:06:39 > 2:06:46and it would appear he is doing the same again this morning. He has

2:06:46 > 2:06:50decided to tell the world in advance that he plans to talk about the NHS

2:06:50 > 2:06:57in Cabinet. His argument is that the NHS needs significant more money,

2:06:57 > 2:07:01around £5 billion extra per year, and to put that in context, the

2:07:01 > 2:07:06total bill for the NHS is around £115 billion per year in England.

2:07:06 > 2:07:10Labour have made similar promises. There is a concern in the

2:07:10 > 2:07:14Conservatives that Labour are making the running on the NHS and they have

2:07:14 > 2:07:17to take the fight to Jeremy Corbyn, but there are others who are raising

2:07:17 > 2:07:22something of an eyebrow about Boris Johnson's intervention. The

2:07:22 > 2:07:24Chancellor, Philip Hammond, has just turned up a meeting in Brussels and

2:07:24 > 2:07:33was asked this. The opening line of his response was a rather tart, Mr

2:07:33 > 2:07:37Johnson is the Foreign Secretary. Perhaps a suggestion that he should

2:07:37 > 2:07:46stick to the day job.We have to move on, Chris. Thank you.

2:07:46 > 2:07:49Nigel Farage has said the refusal of the UKIP leader, Henry Bolton,

2:07:49 > 2:07:51to resign could be a "lifeline" for the party.

2:07:51 > 2:07:5314 members of Mr Bolton's senior team have quit

2:07:53 > 2:07:55following the controversy over his former girlfriend making

2:07:55 > 2:07:58racist remarks about Meghan Markle.

2:07:58 > 2:08:00Writing for the Daily Telegraph website, Mr Farage said

2:08:00 > 2:08:03if he had the courage, Mr Bolton could use the situation

2:08:03 > 2:08:09to force UKIP to change.

2:08:09 > 2:08:13We will be speaking to Mr Bolton in around 20 minutes.

2:08:13 > 2:08:15The US government shutdown ended overnight after Republicans

2:08:15 > 2:08:17and Democrats voted for a temporary funding bill.

2:08:17 > 2:08:19Congress passed the legislation, after the Democrats accepted

2:08:19 > 2:08:21the promise of a broad debate on the issue of immigration.

2:08:21 > 2:08:23The so-called continuing resolution keeps the government funded

2:08:23 > 2:08:26until February the 8th in the hope that Congress can reach

2:08:26 > 2:08:34a longer term budget agreement in the meantime.

2:08:38 > 2:08:40Money, equality and globalisation are set to top the agenda

2:08:40 > 2:08:43during the first full day of the World Economic Forum

2:08:43 > 2:08:44in the Swiss ski-resort of Davos.

2:08:44 > 2:08:50President Trump, Theresa May, Sir Elton John and the actor

2:08:50 > 2:08:52Cate Blanchett are expected to be among the two-and-a-half-thousand

2:08:52 > 2:08:53world leaders, business representatives and celebrities

2:08:53 > 2:08:59attending the event.

2:08:59 > 2:09:02Plenty of coverage across the next few days.

2:09:02 > 2:09:05Charing Cross station has been closed and an area around the Strand

2:09:05 > 2:09:08in central London has been cordoned off, because of a gas leak.

2:09:08 > 2:09:09Around fifteen-hundred people were evacuated overnight

2:09:09 > 2:09:11from a nightclub and a hotel.

2:09:11 > 2:09:14Motorists have also been advised to avoid the area as a number

2:09:14 > 2:09:16of roads have been closed.

2:09:16 > 2:09:24The London Fire Brigade says they are still investigating the cause.

2:09:26 > 2:09:34Those are the main stories this morning. As we've been hearing, the

2:09:34 > 2:09:36BBC understands that this Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson will call

2:09:36 > 2:09:41for more funding for the NHS. He is expected to speak at a cabinet

2:09:41 > 2:09:44meeting where Jeremy Pied will provide an update on how the system

2:09:44 > 2:09:46has been coping amid all the pressure we have talked about over

2:09:46 > 2:09:51the winter.

2:09:51 > 2:09:52Our Special Correspondent, Ed Thomas, has spent a number

2:09:52 > 2:09:56of days with staff and patients at one hospital in the North East of

2:09:56 > 2:10:04England to witness how it is coping.

2:10:04 > 2:10:10The University Hospital of North Tees. It has some of the best A&E

2:10:10 > 2:10:14waiting times in England, but it was so full at one point this month, it

2:10:14 > 2:10:21had to close its doors. It's Friday, and we are in the rapid assessment

2:10:21 > 2:10:29unit.This one.It used to be the hospital's gym. Patients with less

2:10:29 > 2:10:36severe symptoms can be said here instead of A&E.They don't have the

2:10:36 > 2:10:39time to look after the patients and do their own jobs and everything.

2:10:39 > 2:10:44It's terrible.The nurses get really upset, don't they? They really do

2:10:44 > 2:10:51get upset.If the patients weren't here, where would they be?Sat in

2:10:51 > 2:10:57A&E.Saturday, and A&E is filling up. The rapid assessment unit is

2:10:57 > 2:11:03closed.Lady out of 12 is going into nine.LeeAnn, the nurse in charge,

2:11:03 > 2:11:08must find space. What are your concerns?We don't have the capacity

2:11:08 > 2:11:13to safety look after them out of patients coming through the door.By

2:11:13 > 2:11:214pm, ambulances are backing up outside A&E. Inside, paramedics wait

2:11:21 > 2:11:38with their patients. Blanche is 83. And she's struggling to breathe.

2:11:38 > 2:11:48They are marvellous, these two men. I'm in agony.

2:11:49 > 2:11:52I'm in agony.A lot of discomfort and pain, and being sat in a

2:11:52 > 2:11:56stretcher in a corridor is not where she needs to be. We've given her

2:11:56 > 2:12:01what we can in terms of pain relief. What does she need right now?To be

2:12:01 > 2:12:07seen by a doctor.When you see that lady down there for an hour...It's

2:12:07 > 2:12:14awful. We don't like it. Nobody likes their patients to be in a

2:12:14 > 2:12:19corridor, but I physically have no room to put this lady in.Many

2:12:19 > 2:12:24hospitals are also facing a major flu outbreak. Here, it means that by

2:12:24 > 2:12:29Sunday, every bed on every medical ward is full.Discharging, but then

2:12:29 > 2:12:34when you discharge...It has been nonstop, we have had that many

2:12:34 > 2:12:41people through today.How does that make you feel?Frustrated and sad, I

2:12:41 > 2:12:45would say.At this moment in time, I would say I probably have about five

2:12:45 > 2:12:52years left, tops. And so far, my career has been for years long. I

2:12:52 > 2:12:57won't say I would do a long career in the NHS.Come next year, this

2:12:57 > 2:13:01thing will happen again, and again, and again, and again. We see

2:13:01 > 2:13:06pictures in the News of the horrendous trolley waiting, and it

2:13:06 > 2:13:16doesn't seem to change.Thank you to everybody who spoke to Ed Thomas in

2:13:16 > 2:13:20that report. Blanche has recovered and has gone home.

2:13:20 > 2:13:22In a statement, the Department of Health and Social Care said:

2:13:22 > 2:13:24"This Government is committed to supporting A&E departments

2:13:24 > 2:13:28to improve patient waiting times and has supported the NHS to do this

2:13:28 > 2:13:30with an additional £437 million of funding this winter,

2:13:30 > 2:13:37alongside one-billion pounds for social care this year."

2:13:37 > 2:13:39We can speak now to Dr Sarah Wollaston, who's the Chair

2:13:39 > 2:13:41of the Commons Health Select Committee.

2:13:41 > 2:13:50Good morning to you. People are reacting to enter's report that was

2:13:50 > 2:13:53on the Ten O'Clock News last night. Watching that, it is heartbreaking

2:13:53 > 2:13:59to see the NHS at breaking point like that, isn't it?The pressure is

2:13:59 > 2:14:02relentless, and it is not just that there are more people coming in but

2:14:02 > 2:14:09they are more unwell. It is not just about funding now and focusing on

2:14:09 > 2:14:13the issues that report highlighted, but looking at the long-term funding

2:14:13 > 2:14:17for health, social care and preventative side of health care,

2:14:17 > 2:14:22public health.We been told by one senior MP from your party that the

2:14:22 > 2:14:27problem is, at the centre, there was no decision-making. The you agree?

2:14:27 > 2:14:31Are not enough decisions being made because it is too hard to make them?

2:14:31 > 2:14:36We have to recognise in a hung parliament how it is to get

2:14:36 > 2:14:39difficult funding choices across. That is why myself and colleagues

2:14:39 > 2:14:42from across the House had been calling on the Government to take a

2:14:42 > 2:14:47cross-party approach so we don't keep having the same sterile

2:14:47 > 2:14:51discussions about a death tax or dementia tax.What is your reaction

2:14:51 > 2:14:56to the call for that?I would like to see Theresa May take that call

2:14:56 > 2:15:00seriously. At the moment, she has a plan for a social care Green paper

2:15:00 > 2:15:03later this summer that looked older adults, but we are calling for that

2:15:03 > 2:15:08not just a look at older adult social care but the whole of social

2:15:08 > 2:15:12care, including young, working age adults, and to look at health and

2:15:12 > 2:15:17prevention side all as one system. We know there have been countless

2:15:17 > 2:15:21reviews looking at how that money could come in, but what we now need

2:15:21 > 2:15:26is action. We need to set those are clearly for the public so they can

2:15:26 > 2:15:30make a decision.It is hard to watch reports like that and listen to the

2:15:30 > 2:15:37quotes. Blanche, 83, can't breathe and stuck in a corridor for hours.

2:15:37 > 2:15:41Amazes doing a nursing -- nurses doing an amazing job and saying they

2:15:41 > 2:15:47cannot see themselves going on more than five years, more nurses leaving

2:15:47 > 2:15:51the NHS than joining. Trying to be positive, is there a way out of the

2:15:51 > 2:15:56current situation?

2:15:56 > 2:15:59We have to recognise the scale of the increased demand and fund it

2:15:59 > 2:16:02properly, but look at the important workforce challenges your report

2:16:02 > 2:16:06highlighted and how we get health and social care working together

2:16:06 > 2:16:11much more effectively because for people like Blanch it is not just

2:16:11 > 2:16:14about the immediate treatment they have in hospital, it's about

2:16:14 > 2:16:17preventing them needing to go in the first place and making sure that

2:16:17 > 2:16:20when they're ready to leave hospital that everything is there ready for

2:16:20 > 2:16:23them in the community to make sure they can be supported in the way

2:16:23 > 2:16:26that means they don't have to come back into hospital. So we have to

2:16:26 > 2:16:30look at this as a hole system, not just the NHS in one place and social

2:16:30 > 2:16:34care in another place, but how we make the whole system work together,

2:16:34 > 2:16:38but we have to fund it properly that meets the sort of scale of the tin

2:16:38 > 2:16:42cease in demand.As a doctor I appreciate you have a unique insight

2:16:42 > 2:16:49on this, but you heard the consul as we all did, saying, "We see these

2:16:49 > 2:16:53pictures all the time. This is what happens every year and nothing

2:16:53 > 2:16:56happens."The point the Health Select Committee made in the past,

2:16:56 > 2:17:01it is not just that we have winter pressures now, those pressures

2:17:01 > 2:17:08extend year round and in the winter when we have a flu epidemic and

2:17:08 > 2:17:12Norovirus, I'm frayed the system doesn't have enough spare capacity

2:17:12 > 2:17:16to meet that demand and the whole system can grind to a halt and

2:17:16 > 2:17:19that's why we need to make sure we have got the right capacity there

2:17:19 > 2:17:23and workforce is really key to this. Just piling in some extra cash

2:17:23 > 2:17:26without thinking about the workforce won't work. We have to look at the

2:17:26 > 2:17:29whole system and we have to start doing that now.One quick before we

2:17:29 > 2:17:34let you go. On the sort of figure side of it and the obsession, you

2:17:34 > 2:17:38know, judging on where things are with regards to the A&E waiting

2:17:38 > 2:17:43times, it looks as though, I mean, according to BBC Research,

2:17:43 > 2:17:48university hospitals in Coventry and Warwickshire they are including it

2:17:48 > 2:17:52walk-in centre times in their A&E waiting time analysis which improved

2:17:52 > 2:18:01things by about 5%, but that's being run by Virgin Care Services which is

2:18:01 > 2:18:06nothing to do with the trust. This is manipulation of the figures,

2:18:06 > 2:18:11isn't it?I think what we need to do is be clear what we are talking

2:18:11 > 2:18:14about, type one accident departments, and separate the data

2:18:14 > 2:18:18out from them, but there is a complication here because some

2:18:18 > 2:18:21accident departments, accident and emergency departments it would make

2:18:21 > 2:18:26things better for those who are waiting for example some types of

2:18:26 > 2:18:29specialist cases being able to go to the ward to be assessed and that

2:18:29 > 2:18:33maybe a good thing and show a good way of actually showing that you can

2:18:33 > 2:18:38improve waiting time in A&E, so this is a complex way of how you actually

2:18:38 > 2:18:43show the figures both around the specialist units within hospitals

2:18:43 > 2:18:46themselves and walk-in centre, but clarity about the data and being

2:18:46 > 2:18:51able to track that year-on-year is extremely important.I appreciate

2:18:51 > 2:18:55you talking to us. Thank you very much for your time.Thank you.

2:18:55 > 2:18:58I appreciate the doctors, nurses, consultants and patients as well

2:18:58 > 2:19:03that talked to us. And for being in touch with us, because I know you

2:19:03 > 2:19:09all care deeply about this too. It is 8.18am. Matt is looking at the

2:19:09 > 2:19:16weather. Different temperatures to what we've become used to.

2:19:16 > 2:19:23A different day out there. Not necessarily a dry day. But we've got

2:19:23 > 2:19:26south-westerly winds with us. That is what's bringing mild air, but

2:19:26 > 2:19:29often this time of year you get the mild air and you get the

2:19:29 > 2:19:32south-westerly winds and the price to pay is can cloud and rain. Lots

2:19:32 > 2:19:38of cloud around and outbreaks into far east and south-east of England.

2:19:38 > 2:19:44Heavier bursts over the next few hours. In between, a few spots of

2:19:44 > 2:19:48rain, but notice through the afternoon we will see bigger gaps

2:19:48 > 2:19:52appear in the cloud and sunshine too. By the time you hit the school

2:19:52 > 2:19:55run and the evening rush hour there will be clearer skies around and

2:19:55 > 2:19:59just a few showers across Scotland and Northern Ireland by this stage.

2:19:59 > 2:20:03Temperatures will have dropped a little bit through the afternoon

2:20:03 > 2:20:06compared to what we will see this morning, peaking around 13 Celsius

2:20:06 > 2:20:10or 14 Celsius. Into England and Wales, there will be a zone of

2:20:10 > 2:20:13cloudier weather from the north-east down towards south-east England,

2:20:13 > 2:20:18that will work its way eastwards. Back into the west of Wales, Devon

2:20:18 > 2:20:22and Cornwall and we could see temperatures in one or two spots hit

2:20:22 > 2:20:2714 or 15 Celsius. A blustery day and blustery night to come tonight.

2:20:27 > 2:20:31Temperatures will drop a little bit tonight across Northern Scotland. An

2:20:31 > 2:20:35area of rain moving in to other parts and that will turn to snow

2:20:35 > 2:20:39briefly over the mountains. Temperatures at their lowest here,

2:20:39 > 2:20:42but for most, these values, are above where they should be by day

2:20:42 > 2:20:46never mind by night. We start with mild air in this little segment here

2:20:46 > 2:20:50bounded by weather fronts. This will be an active weather front bringing

2:20:50 > 2:20:53heavy rain to Scotland and Northern Ireland and sweeping southwards

2:20:53 > 2:20:57across England and Wales. Wettest in northern England and Wales for the

2:20:57 > 2:21:03rush hour. That could cause minor flooding add in to the fact that we

2:21:03 > 2:21:07have got saturated ground and snow melt. Gales and severe gales

2:21:07 > 2:21:11possible, but further north sunshine and showers. Brighter in the

2:21:11 > 2:21:13afternoon, but temperatures dropping in the afternoon back down to single

2:21:13 > 2:21:17figures for many. A cool day to come on Thursday. We have got showers as

2:21:17 > 2:21:20well. They will be circulating around another area of low pressure,

2:21:20 > 2:21:23across Northern Ireland and Southern Scotland bringing the showers across

2:21:23 > 2:21:27western parts of England and Wales. Sunshine in between and one or two

2:21:27 > 2:21:31staying dry and as a lot of that fades away through the night and

2:21:31 > 2:21:34clear skies develop, there will be frost. Scotland and Northern

2:21:34 > 2:21:37Ireland, into Friday, early showers and rain in the far south-east of

2:21:37 > 2:21:41the country and it will clear. Friday, for many, not a bad day.

2:21:41 > 2:21:44Temperatures will have dropped, but by the weekend they are on the up

2:21:44 > 2:21:47again.

2:21:47 > 2:21:55Good. Thank you, Matt. Steph is here looking at the

2:21:55 > 2:21:59business of sport and how much dosh is floating around football.It is a

2:21:59 > 2:22:02lot! LAUGHTER

2:22:02 > 2:22:07Good morning. We are talking about football. You won't be surprised to

2:22:07 > 2:22:09hear the world's biggest football clubs are making more money than

2:22:09 > 2:22:13ever before. Look at this table behind me. You can see Manchester

2:22:13 > 2:22:17United has topped the table as the richest club and the figures show

2:22:17 > 2:22:21that the combined revenues of the top 20 clubs has risen 6% to almost

2:22:21 > 2:22:29£7 billion. That's a lot of money. A couple of other stories. Talks

2:22:29 > 2:22:34between Britain's biggest union and Vauxhall were frank, but useful. PSA

2:22:34 > 2:22:41says it wants to build the new Astra model at the Ellesmere Port plant,

2:22:41 > 2:22:45but that hasn't eased worries about the jobs there. EasyJet and Pets At

2:22:45 > 2:22:48Home, both different businesses, but seem to have had a good run

2:22:48 > 2:22:51recently. EasyJet says it has increased the number of passengers

2:22:51 > 2:22:57who flew with the airline at the end of last year and then looking at the

2:22:57 > 2:23:02pet chain, Pets At Home it has done well off the back of reducing prices

2:23:02 > 2:23:05and it has increased the number of stores and says it is the vet side

2:23:05 > 2:23:09of the business which is growing wm. Always an excuse to show some cute

2:23:09 > 2:23:15pictures of dogs!I think they are Labrador puppies.Ah, here we go

2:23:15 > 2:23:21again.I can't think of anyone who has got' ten weekend Labrador, but

2:23:21 > 2:23:31me! -- ten week old Labrador.

2:23:31 > 2:23:33British tennis player, Kyle Edmund, has beaten

2:23:33 > 2:23:35the world number three, Grigor Dimitrov, to reach the semi

2:23:35 > 2:23:36final of the Australian Open.

2:23:36 > 2:23:39Let's get reaction from Leon Smith, who works with Kyle closely

2:23:39 > 2:23:40as Davis Cup Captain.

2:23:40 > 2:23:43You have seen him afterwards, how is he doing?Well, look, he is buzzing.

2:23:43 > 2:23:47I think he was just soaking it all in. I went to see him as he was

2:23:47 > 2:23:51doing his cool down in the gym on the exercise bike. It will take a

2:23:51 > 2:23:55little bit of time to sink in, but boy, did he deserve it. It was a

2:23:55 > 2:23:59fantastic performance from him today.He goes into the semifinal.

2:23:59 > 2:24:03What's been the difference this year?Well, I think a couple of

2:24:03 > 2:24:08things. He spent the off season working hard with his coaching team

2:24:08 > 2:24:13and in particular, you can see his serve is a big improvement. It is

2:24:13 > 2:24:18way more consistent. His numbers are up on serve. Physically he looks in

2:24:18 > 2:24:22great shape. His fore hand is a massive weapon, but probably one of

2:24:22 > 2:24:26the biggest things that happened in the first round when he beat Kevin

2:24:26 > 2:24:30Anderson, he was number ten or number 11 in the world, he hasn't

2:24:30 > 2:24:34beaten any of those guys before, he has come close and has been knocking

2:24:34 > 2:24:39on the door, but nothing beats winning and that has given him

2:24:39 > 2:24:44confidence and he has just gone from strength to strength.Sometimes it

2:24:44 > 2:24:49is about being mentally prepared and being able to cope. How is he able

2:24:49 > 2:24:53to deal with that?He has done a good job with it. I noticed there

2:24:53 > 2:24:57was a different look to Kyle Edmund as he walked in. People have

2:24:57 > 2:25:01followed him before, sometimes he can be a little bit in his shell and

2:25:01 > 2:25:04I know his coaching team and himself have been trying to get more out of

2:25:04 > 2:25:10him, whether it is shouting, "Come on" or more fist pumps, but he

2:25:10 > 2:25:15walked on to the arena in front of 15,000 and he walked tall and he had

2:25:15 > 2:25:19his head up and I thought he is in a really good mood and he is in a good

2:25:19 > 2:25:23state and that's come from getting some great wins across this

2:25:23 > 2:25:26fortnight and that confidence will really help him moving forwards this

2:25:26 > 2:25:32year.We've got a picture that you've tweeted of you and him with

2:25:32 > 2:25:34wide smiles there. Looking ahead, what will his preparations be like

2:25:34 > 2:25:38now?Well, I mean, after the match, it's really important that he works

2:25:38 > 2:25:43with his trainer and does the recovery, you know, like a lot of

2:25:43 > 2:25:48players these days he has got his own methods. He uses the ice baths,

2:25:48 > 2:25:51so once he has stretched off and had time in the bike he will head over

2:25:51 > 2:25:55and do an ice bath and it is constant refuelling and then at a

2:25:55 > 2:26:00Grand Slam you have a day's grace, tomorrow he'll come in and get some

2:26:00 > 2:26:06more treatment, make sure the body is feeling good and do a very light

2:26:06 > 2:26:1415 or 20 minutes and get ready for, you know, you will be watching a

2:26:14 > 2:26:18little bit, Nadal.He will be watching that, will he and looking

2:26:18 > 2:26:22at how they are playing?He will watch a little bit. You can't help

2:26:22 > 2:26:26yourself whether you are in the ice bath or in the locker room, there is

2:26:26 > 2:26:29TV screens everywhere following the matches, so you can't help, but have

2:26:29 > 2:26:33a glance. He doesn't want to look too much about it because what he

2:26:33 > 2:26:36has done well, the mental preparation, he was really focussed

2:26:36 > 2:26:40on himself and realised what things are really making him play his best

2:26:40 > 2:26:47tennis and that's the most important thing, no matter if it is Nadal or

2:26:47 > 2:26:51Cilic, but it is more about what Kyle Edmund is going to bring to the

2:26:51 > 2:26:58court.I'd like to ask you about the Davis Cup, but shall we leave that

2:26:58 > 2:27:04until next week? Thank you very much indeed.

2:38:57 > 2:39:04I will stay with my job.I am leader until the members vote me down. If

2:39:04 > 2:39:09they choose to do so. About people who are resigning from senior posts

2:39:09 > 2:39:13within the party, I would say, that does not help things at all, if they

2:39:13 > 2:39:18want to call for me to resign, that is one thing, but to desert their

2:39:18 > 2:39:21posts, when the party actually needs to continue functioning, that is not

2:39:21 > 2:39:25helpful in the slightest.It will cut about it is not being helpful,

2:39:25 > 2:39:29it is your personal life, that has been dominating the headlines, do

2:39:29 > 2:39:35you not concede that you are a distraction?It is not distracting

2:39:35 > 2:39:42me in the slightest, I am still pursuing the agenda of internal

2:39:42 > 2:39:45reforms, sorting out internal communications, electronic

2:39:45 > 2:39:48communications, sorting out finances. Getting policy mechanisms

2:39:48 > 2:39:54in place, so that the party has a firm place to predict politics in

2:39:54 > 2:39:58the European debate. The European Union debate. That is what this is

2:39:58 > 2:40:02about, that is where my focus is, my determination, that is where all of

2:40:02 > 2:40:06my effort is.That is what has got to be done. How do you do that when

2:40:06 > 2:40:14the top team are resigning around you?I'm not my post and they are,

2:40:14 > 2:40:17and I am constitutionally still the leader, I am simply following the

2:40:17 > 2:40:22constitutional process here, nothing more, nothing less, and the NEC vote

2:40:22 > 2:40:26itself, I did point out to the national executive committee, before

2:40:26 > 2:40:33they took the vote, it is incumbent upon you, as a body, to bear in mind

2:40:33 > 2:40:36the financial and political consequences of actually going down

2:40:36 > 2:40:42this route. Nonetheless, they have pursued it, it is their decision.

2:40:42 > 2:40:45Not for the first time they are exposing the body to financial and

2:40:45 > 2:40:49political risk. Actually, they should have been working towards

2:40:49 > 2:40:54unity and cohesion of the party and dealing with internal factions who

2:40:54 > 2:40:58have for a very long time since before I became leader worked to

2:40:58 > 2:41:02undermine the party for their own self-centred aims.Talking about

2:41:02 > 2:41:06internal factions, let's be clear, you will not resign unless the

2:41:06 > 2:41:11membership decides that is what needs to happen.Yes, and in that

2:41:11 > 2:41:14case, it will not be a resignation, it will simply be that the members

2:41:14 > 2:41:18decide I should no longer be leader. Resignation won't be necessary, I

2:41:18 > 2:41:24will step down.Thank you very much, I know that we talked to you last

2:41:24 > 2:41:30week, and this week again, thank you very much.

2:41:30 > 2:41:44Talking about smart motorways and smart shopping, now, intelligent

2:41:44 > 2:41:48crows... New Caledonian Crows have been known to use sticks to catch

2:41:48 > 2:41:50their prey, but some now appear 'hooked' on using more advanced

2:41:50 > 2:41:53tools. Researchers have witnessed the birds engineering hooks out of

2:41:53 > 2:41:58twigs, which they use to prise grubs out of trees. We're joined now by

2:41:58 > 2:41:59Professor Christian Rutz from the University of St Andrews who led the

2:41:59 > 2:42:02study. You have brought something that the crows can understand, that

2:42:02 > 2:42:11they can use.You can see, at the tip here, it has a nice little hook,

2:42:11 > 2:42:15and that is something that the Crow made itself, not part of the natural

2:42:15 > 2:42:24part of the material, it is shaped by the this crow.Does he bended

2:42:24 > 2:42:29with the big?You are absolutely right, they use their bills... The

2:42:29 > 2:42:34bill, that is the word I'm looking for. Yes, they may stand on it, to

2:42:34 > 2:42:38secure it, but they use their bill to chisel the material into this

2:42:38 > 2:42:46neat little hook, and it is only us humans, and crows, that can use

2:42:46 > 2:42:53hooks.I have brought this in for you... Little plastic bug here, so

2:42:53 > 2:42:59they try to snag one of the legs, and then they draw it out of its

2:42:59 > 2:43:02hiding place. Sounds incredibly elaborate, how clever are these

2:43:02 > 2:43:11crows, then.We do not know yet, we still do not know how exactly a

2:43:11 > 2:43:15young new Caledonian Crow can learn how to make this special tool. It

2:43:15 > 2:43:20may be that there is a genetic predisposition and it is hard-wired.

2:43:20 > 2:43:31Or it could be they have to learn from older birds

2:43:31 > 2:43:33from older birds that are proficient in using tools and these are the

2:43:33 > 2:43:38only birds that can do this, they live in new Caledonia, very

2:43:38 > 2:43:43tropical, very isolated, they look similar to our own crows but they

2:43:43 > 2:43:50are a species in their own right.Is is the only way they can get food.

2:43:50 > 2:43:56What is unusual is there is no woodpeckers, no competition for

2:43:56 > 2:43:59getting grubs from Deadwood and vegetation so they are filling the

2:43:59 > 2:44:05woodpecker niche, but rather than using their bills, they use tools.

2:44:05 > 2:44:13-- dead wood.What is the next step in what they may be able to do?We

2:44:13 > 2:44:19have discovered that these tools are considerably better than tools that

2:44:19 > 2:44:23are not hooked, for extracting prey, we are seeing signs of technological

2:44:23 > 2:44:28advancement, tools that are more and more efficient, that is a hallmark

2:44:28 > 2:44:33of human technological revolution, engineers looking to make things

2:44:33 > 2:44:36faster and better and more reliable. It is anybody's guess what they will

2:44:36 > 2:44:46come up with next.Fascinating, that is fascinating. So, could they

2:44:46 > 2:44:51seriously harness different technology?What timescale? The

2:44:51 > 2:44:56interesting thing is that we humans only invented the fish-hook 23,000

2:44:56 > 2:45:01ago. In generation time, that is 1000 generations, revolution

2:45:01 > 2:45:06eyeblink. If you think that our species went from carving the first

2:45:06 > 2:45:11rudimentary fish out of seashell, like this one, to building space

2:45:11 > 2:45:15shuttles, in 1000 generations, it is mind-boggling! I would not suggest

2:45:15 > 2:45:18these crows will be building space shuttles in 1000 generations but I

2:45:18 > 2:45:28don't think it is the end the journey for them.Crows in space!

2:45:28 > 2:45:33I have a good vision now of a crow using one of those hooks to get a

2:45:33 > 2:45:36grub!Shall we catch up on the weather?

2:45:36 > 2:45:41Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

2:45:41 > 2:45:42Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

2:45:42 > 2:45:45Temperatures are looking up! Good morning. Temperatures on the up,

2:45:45 > 2:45:49that means of the snow lying across the country, this was taken a short

2:45:49 > 2:45:53while ago in North Yorkshire, that will disappear in the next 24 hours,

2:45:53 > 2:45:58some milder air on the way towards us. For most it is with us already.

2:45:58 > 2:46:02South-westerly winds bringing in some cloud and outbreaks of rain.

2:46:02 > 2:46:08Damp in the morning wash -- rush-hour. In north-west England,

2:46:08 > 2:46:12some spots of rain, some cloud breaks appearing and more in the way

2:46:12 > 2:46:16of cloud breaks into the afternoon. Dry in the second half of the day.

2:46:16 > 2:46:20For the bulk of the time, some shadows around. Some rushing into

2:46:20 > 2:46:25parts of northern and western Scotland. It will feel pleasant.

2:46:25 > 2:46:30Temperatures in double figures for a few. Things ease off through the

2:46:30 > 2:46:34afternoon. In Northern Ireland, some showers, more in the way of sunshine

2:46:34 > 2:46:38in the second half of the day. Brighter skies towards school

2:46:38 > 2:46:43pick-up time. In the evening rush hour, in northern and western parts

2:46:43 > 2:46:47of England. Cloud in the Midlands. In the south-west, some spots of

2:46:47 > 2:46:52rain. More in the way of dry weather. A blustery day,

2:46:52 > 2:46:57temperatures of 13-15d to the east of high ground, we stick with a

2:46:57 > 2:46:59south-westerly wind, temperatures shouldn't drop too much, dropping a

2:46:59 > 2:47:05little in Scotland, we will see some snow for some time but heavy rain

2:47:05 > 2:47:08tonight, Scotland and Northern Ireland in particular, by the end of

2:47:08 > 2:47:12the night and into northern and western parts of England and Wales,

2:47:12 > 2:47:16a mild start to tomorrow morning, this area of low pressure

2:47:16 > 2:47:21dominating, isobars plentiful on the chart here. Some severe gales, a

2:47:21 > 2:47:26windy day today. Heavy rain in the morning rush-hour. That spreads

2:47:26 > 2:47:30through the Midlands during the rush-hour into parts of the

2:47:30 > 2:47:33south-east where it sits on to the afternoon. Sunshine and showers

2:47:33 > 2:47:40through the rest of the day. A wet start. Dry weather, feeling a touch

2:47:40 > 2:47:44cool again. There will be some snow melt, higher temperatures and rain.

2:47:44 > 2:47:50There could be some minor flooding. Some showers on Thursday. The longer

2:47:50 > 2:47:56spell of rain in the central part of the UK. Sunny skies between. On

2:47:56 > 2:47:58Thursday night in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and parts of

2:47:58 > 2:48:05northern England, this is where we are most likely to see some frost.

2:48:05 > 2:48:09Further west, it looks like it will be a fine day, dry and reasonably

2:48:09 > 2:48:14sunny weather around. A cool day on Friday, mild weather is back for the

2:48:14 > 2:48:17weekend. More on that tomorrow.

2:48:18 > 2:48:21Thank you.

2:48:21 > 2:48:24Sheltered housing is designed to offer older people a safe

2:48:24 > 2:48:25environment with varying levels of support.

2:48:25 > 2:48:28Yet the BBC has learned of tens of thousands of reported cases

2:48:28 > 2:48:30of abuse and neglect in this type of accommodation over

2:48:30 > 2:48:31the last three years.

2:48:31 > 2:48:34Some fear the actual extent of abuse could be even greater.

2:48:34 > 2:48:36Sheltered housing does not undergo the same inspections and ratings

2:48:36 > 2:48:39as care homes and this has led to questions over how well

2:48:39 > 2:48:41residents are protected.

2:48:41 > 2:48:46Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin has more.

2:48:46 > 2:48:47Just very sad.

2:48:47 > 2:48:49Andrea last saw her mum on New Year's Eve.

2:48:49 > 2:48:52Three months later, she received a phone call from police saying

2:48:52 > 2:48:54she had been found dead in her council-run

2:48:54 > 2:49:00sheltered accommodation.

2:49:00 > 2:49:03We don't know if she lay there, whether it was an instant incident,

2:49:03 > 2:49:06whether it was a heart attack, or did she lie there,

2:49:06 > 2:49:08you know, in pain?

2:49:08 > 2:49:11We just don't know.

2:49:11 > 2:49:13Andrea's mum suffered from depression and she often

2:49:13 > 2:49:16withdrew from family and friends.

2:49:16 > 2:49:19Her daughter hoped she would be safe in sheltered housing,

2:49:19 > 2:49:27staff would keep an eye out, but the local authority said Hazel

2:49:27 > 2:49:30liked her privacy and requested they did not contact her.

2:49:30 > 2:49:32You're moving in there because you think there's a warden,

2:49:32 > 2:49:34there's 24/7 support, if you fall, you are not

2:49:34 > 2:49:37feeling well, you can pull a cord and get support.

2:49:37 > 2:49:38There was no care.

2:49:38 > 2:49:39She really just got accommodation.

2:49:39 > 2:49:45That's really all she got, was accommodation.

2:49:45 > 2:49:48The council have told us they have changed their procedures to ensure

2:49:48 > 2:49:50every resident gets weekly contact.

2:49:50 > 2:49:53BBC Radio 4's File on 4 programme has tried to establish the level

2:49:53 > 2:49:58of risk in sheltered housing.

2:49:58 > 2:50:00They contacted councils in England, Wales and Scotland and health

2:50:00 > 2:50:03and social care trusts in Northern Ireland.

2:50:03 > 2:50:05They were told of almost 31,000 safeguarding incidents

2:50:05 > 2:50:07in the last 3.5 years.

2:50:07 > 2:50:11The most common were neglect, physical abuse and financial abuse.

2:50:11 > 2:50:13Those figures had increased 30% over that time.

2:50:13 > 2:50:14Are you surprised?

2:50:14 > 2:50:19No, frankly, I'm not surprised by the figures.

2:50:19 > 2:50:24I strongly suspect that they are an underestimate.

2:50:24 > 2:50:27There are some sectors within adult social care that are less

2:50:27 > 2:50:33regulated or unregulated.

2:50:33 > 2:50:35We have to look at the adequacy of the regulatory and

2:50:35 > 2:50:36inspection oversight.

2:50:36 > 2:50:39Not only is there no independent inspection regime in England,

2:50:39 > 2:50:42Wales and Northern Ireland, there's no legal requirement

2:50:42 > 2:50:45for professionals to actually report neglect or financial abuse.

2:50:45 > 2:50:49In Scotland, there are more wide-ranging powers

2:50:49 > 2:50:51but the governement in Westminster tell us that abuse and

2:50:51 > 2:50:53neglect is unacceptable.

2:50:53 > 2:50:56They say they've changed the law so local authorities must

2:50:56 > 2:50:58ensure their services are safe and they will look again at

2:50:58 > 2:51:00reforming social care in the summer.

2:51:00 > 2:51:02But there is still a gap between the perception

2:51:02 > 2:51:06of sheltered accommodation and the reality for some.

2:51:06 > 2:51:13Jayne McCubbin, BBC News.

2:51:13 > 2:51:14It is really worrying that.

2:51:14 > 2:51:16The former Care Minister Norman Lamb joins us

2:51:16 > 2:51:17from our Westminster studio.

2:51:17 > 2:51:22I know that you were listening to that as well. Are those figures that

2:51:22 > 2:51:27we are hearing this morning from the BBC investigation, are they

2:51:27 > 2:51:32surprising to you at all?They are pretty shocking. It does, I think

2:51:32 > 2:51:38highlight a in the system and what we have seen over many years now is

2:51:38 > 2:51:46a retreat by local authorities in terms of the services and support

2:51:46 > 2:51:50that is provided to people living in sheltered accommodation. In the old

2:51:50 > 2:51:53days it was all provided by the council but no accommodation is

2:51:53 > 2:51:58often provided by a housing association but the services are

2:51:58 > 2:52:02provided by someone else. As councils have cut back on the

2:52:02 > 2:52:07support services available for vulnerable people, the risk of

2:52:07 > 2:52:10neglect, I think, increases significantly.And when you watch

2:52:10 > 2:52:14that, as the former care minister, hindsight is easy to judge things

2:52:14 > 2:52:17with, could you have done more to regulate them, is that the answer

2:52:17 > 2:52:25going forward?We took the care act through Parliament, it is good

2:52:25 > 2:52:30legislation and what undermines it, though, it is simply insufficient

2:52:30 > 2:52:35resources. I've been making the case for the last two years that parties

2:52:35 > 2:52:41need to work together to come up with a new settlement for both the

2:52:41 > 2:52:48NHS but also critically for care. Until we do that, these examples of

2:52:48 > 2:52:52neglect will simply continue. I do think it is a combination of

2:52:52 > 2:52:55resources needed to keep pupils safe. We just have to confront the

2:52:55 > 2:53:01fact that it does cost money if you are to provide proper support for an

2:53:01 > 2:53:04elderly person living alone in sheltered accommodation. But also,

2:53:04 > 2:53:09there are questions where the Care Quality Commission should be

2:53:09 > 2:53:13bringing within its remit the services provided to people in

2:53:13 > 2:53:18sheltered housing. This is the value of investigations like this that the

2:53:18 > 2:53:22BBC is undertaking. It exposing the areas where a concern is developed

2:53:22 > 2:53:27where the government has to respond. There is a difference between

2:53:27 > 2:53:31something slipping through the net and the net being entirely useless.

2:53:31 > 2:53:36The government is releasing a green paper, later this year, in the

2:53:36 > 2:53:41summer, and social care. What needs to be in there? What would you like

2:53:41 > 2:53:45it to say?For a start, they are pursuing the wrong approach.

2:53:45 > 2:53:50Effectively they are going to publish a discussion document over

2:53:50 > 2:53:54the summer. That is wholly inadequate. We have a crisis here

2:53:54 > 2:54:03and now. That is why I and 90 M' from across Parliament wrote to the

2:54:03 > 2:54:07Prime Minister and Chancellor 's in November to say that there is an

2:54:07 > 2:54:13urgency in this and we need settlement now. We shouldn't have a

2:54:13 > 2:54:16discussion document. I can guarantee that there is no legislation for the

2:54:16 > 2:54:23rest of this Parliament. There is a sense of inertia, that there is an

2:54:23 > 2:54:27urgency that the government is persistently failing to recognise.

2:54:27 > 2:54:31Norman Lamb, it is good to talk to you. Thank you.

2:54:31 > 2:54:34The Government says it has "changed the law so local authorities ensure

2:54:34 > 2:54:36that services are safe, effective and of high quality."

2:54:36 > 2:54:38It also says it is "committed to reforming social care

2:54:38 > 2:54:44and will publish a green paper in the summer."

2:54:44 > 2:54:49Very worrying statistics there this morning. Another set of worrying

2:54:49 > 2:54:50statistics when it comes to health care.

2:54:50 > 2:54:52British tennis player, Kyle Edmund, has beaten

2:54:52 > 2:54:54the world number three, Grigor Dimitrov, to reach the

2:54:54 > 2:54:56semifinal of the Australian Open.

2:54:56 > 2:54:58Our reporter Linsey Smith is at Kyle's former tennis club

2:54:58 > 2:55:01in Hull this morning.

2:55:01 > 2:55:07I imagine they are more than delighted there? Good morning.Good

2:55:07 > 2:55:11morning, they are delighted, they are proud. There is a real sense of

2:55:11 > 2:55:16celebration here today, the boy has done good, but on all the way from a

2:55:16 > 2:55:20very small village around here, to be in the semifinals of the

2:55:20 > 2:55:24Australian open. They've told me little stories about him, apparently

2:55:24 > 2:55:28he came here from the age of seven, and ran around causing mischief in

2:55:28 > 2:55:33the cafe is next door. He was then encouraged to pick up a tennis

2:55:33 > 2:55:37racket and thank goodness, he was identified as having skill and power

2:55:37 > 2:55:44very early on. From that he gave up his first love in sport, swimming,

2:55:44 > 2:55:49and also cricket. I will interrupt their game here, guys, can I have a

2:55:49 > 2:55:58little chat? Come on over. Mike, tell me, you coach here. You must be

2:55:58 > 2:56:02very proud today?Completely! Kyle

2:56:02 > 2:56:02tell me, you coach here. You must be very proud today?Completely! Kyle,

2:56:02 > 2:56:09he started his tennis here and he has a huge following. Mike and

2:56:09 > 2:56:13myself, we were involved in the coaching programme and worked

2:56:13 > 2:56:18directly with him in the early days. It has been fantastic. We are so

2:56:18 > 2:56:23thrilled. We will continue to support him on Thursday.And he is

2:56:23 > 2:56:28travelling the world now and doing great things, do you ever see him

2:56:28 > 2:56:34now?Yes, when he is back in the UK, his mum and dad are members of the

2:56:34 > 2:56:42club, he comes in. He runs clinics with me, with the juniors. Kyle is

2:56:42 > 2:56:47Kyle, the same boy that he was. It wonderful personality. But as things

2:56:47 > 2:56:54have progressed, he will be spending less time in the UK.That must be

2:56:54 > 2:57:01great inspiration for the youngsters who still play here?Yes, we have

2:57:01 > 2:57:06players who have played from the age of five who are now 16. They are

2:57:06 > 2:57:14watching him play the match.We will try and interrupt these guys, they

2:57:14 > 2:57:18are members of the club. They are fans of Kyle Edmund. Come on over,

2:57:18 > 2:57:25what did you make of that win?It is fantastic, I was coming into play

2:57:25 > 2:57:30tennis this morning and heard, it's fantastic news. You can make it all

2:57:30 > 2:57:35the way.Does it inspire you?Of course

2:57:35 > 2:57:38the way.Does it inspire you?Of course, he has been here a few

2:57:38 > 2:57:43times. His striking and timing is fantastic.How far do you think he

2:57:43 > 2:57:50can go?Federer is the big one but also Nadal, but I think he can go

2:57:50 > 2:57:55all the way. His serve has gone agriculture on. No reason why he

2:57:55 > 2:58:01cannot win it.We are told that there will be queues here, of all of

2:58:01 > 2:58:06the youngsters who one day want to follow in his footsteps.Absolutely,

2:58:06 > 2:58:08he is

2:58:08 > 2:58:11really inspiring. Thank you. Go on, pick up a tennis racquet!Do you

2:58:11 > 2:58:16like to play?When I was a youngster, I used to play a lot.You

2:58:16 > 2:58:22have the height for it! I would be scared...I used to play in the

2:58:22 > 2:58:26under 12s, and I would play people who are half my height. But then

2:58:26 > 2:58:32everybody else caught up with me and I realised I was distinctly average!

2:58:32 > 2:58:34In a move that could revolutionise the way

2:58:34 > 2:58:36we buy our groceries, Amazon has opened a supermarket

2:58:36 > 2:58:37without check-outs.

2:58:37 > 2:58:39Hundreds of cameras and sensors track the customer, before

2:58:39 > 2:58:43charging their credit card via an App.

2:58:43 > 2:58:47We have had a debate about this this morning! Some people hate the fact

2:58:47 > 2:58:54that there are no assistants and other people say, this is brilliant,

2:58:54 > 2:58:55I don't like to talk to people!

2:58:55 > 2:58:58But this isn't the only example of how new technology and artificial

2:58:58 > 2:59:03intelligence is changing the way we shop.

2:59:03 > 2:59:05BBC Click's Lara Lewington has been to one store

2:59:05 > 2:59:08in North London to find out more.

2:59:10 > 2:59:11Unexpected item in bagging area.

2:59:11 > 2:59:12Please remove item before continuing.

2:59:12 > 2:59:14The inevitable words when you are in a hurry

2:59:14 > 2:59:17and the queue for the good old-fashioned checkout had been

2:59:17 > 2:59:21so much longer but things could be about to change.

2:59:21 > 2:59:23Well, it is time for a rather unconventional shopping experience.

2:59:23 > 2:59:31The first thing I'm going to do is get my bag out.

2:59:36 > 2:59:38This north London convenience store is trialling a prototype instant

2:59:38 > 2:59:40checkout with the finished product being prepared for its

2:59:40 > 2:59:41debut later this year.

2:59:41 > 2:59:43Because when it comes to actually checking out,

2:59:43 > 2:59:45the RFID tags which sit on all the products will be

2:59:45 > 2:59:48instantly scanned in one go, you can just put everything

2:59:48 > 2:59:50in here straightaway, although it does sort of feel wrong.

2:59:50 > 2:59:57And something sweet.

2:59:57 > 2:59:59So I have everything I need in my shopping bag

2:59:59 > 3:00:07but I can't leave just yet.

3:00:10 > 3:00:12In fact, this is the fun bit.

3:00:12 > 3:00:13It's time for the instant checkout.

3:00:13 > 3:00:16I popped down my bag full of items and immediately,

3:00:16 > 3:00:18what's in that bag seamlessly comes up on the screen.

3:00:18 > 3:00:20At this point, you get out your smartphone,

3:00:20 > 3:00:23where you should have already downloaded the app and had your

3:00:23 > 3:00:24payment details securely stored.

3:00:24 > 3:00:27You need to make sure your Bluetooth is turned on and at this point,

3:00:27 > 3:00:28you simply tap the reader.

3:00:28 > 3:00:31A process so quick that even if the store becomes busy,

3:00:31 > 3:00:32a queue is unlikely to develop.

3:00:32 > 3:00:34So now, I can actually leave.

3:00:34 > 3:00:36But what have the public been making of this?

3:00:36 > 3:00:38I thought it really quick, it's excellent.

3:00:38 > 3:00:40I really must say would prefer to pay a person.

3:00:40 > 3:00:42I found that really, really cool.

3:00:42 > 3:00:44One thing I struggle with self-checkouts is finding

3:00:44 > 3:00:46the bar code and scanning it and it's really annoying

3:00:46 > 3:00:49and the fact that I put it on there, it's done.

3:00:49 > 3:00:51IBM's long-term hope is for this technology they've created to be

3:00:51 > 3:00:54rolled out along all areas of retail alongside with suitable checkout

3:00:54 > 3:00:56areas and the repositioning of shop assistants to actually assist

3:00:56 > 3:01:03you around the shop.

3:01:03 > 3:01:08Of course, security has been treated as a priority,

3:01:08 > 3:01:09with a cloud-based payment system

3:01:09 > 3:01:11meaning no details are actually presented in store.

3:01:11 > 3:01:13But for those customers who are happy to share

3:01:13 > 3:01:15their behaviour and habits, artificial intelligence will come

3:01:15 > 3:01:17into play to combine that information with data

3:01:17 > 3:01:22on their surroundings.

3:01:22 > 3:01:25Weather and traffic for a convenience store like this

3:01:27 > 3:01:29-- Weather and traffic for a convenience store like this

3:01:29 > 3:01:32will drastically change what people are going to come in and buy,

3:01:32 > 3:01:34how many people come in and when.

3:01:34 > 3:01:36Being able to use all those mass volumes of data,

3:01:36 > 3:01:38do predictive analytics, all that merged together means

3:01:38 > 3:01:45we will be able to tell the retailer what to keep in stock and when.

3:01:45 > 3:01:52Meanwhile,

3:01:52 > 3:01:56yesterday's launch of Amazon GO's

3:01:56 > 3:01:57cashierless Seattle store

3:01:57 > 3:01:59provides a place where customers can scan their phone

3:01:59 > 3:02:02on arrival and after being tracked by cameras and sensors to see

3:02:02 > 3:02:04what they've pick up, have their Amazon account

3:02:04 > 3:02:05instantly charged.

3:02:05 > 3:02:08But whilst this sort of convenience may appeal to some, you can't,

3:02:09 > 3:02:11You liked it but on balance, you prefer a person.

3:02:11 > 3:02:12I'd still prefer a person.

3:02:12 > 3:02:18Lara Lewington, BBC Breakfast.

3:02:18 > 3:02:22Thank you for getting in touch.

3:02:22 > 3:02:24And you can see more on this and other technology

3:02:24 > 3:02:26stories on BBC Click,

3:02:26 > 3:02:31and we'll show it here on Breakfast this weekend.

3:02:31 > 3:02:34And here to tell us more about how it all works is Media

3:02:34 > 3:02:38and Technology consultant, Martin Bryant.

3:02:38 > 3:02:42While we were watching, we were talking, what is your overall take?

3:02:42 > 3:02:47As a man who lives and breathes technology, will you embrace it?

3:02:47 > 3:02:56Just for the experience I'm going to try it.

3:02:56 > 3:02:58try it. There is an app where you can scan your item on the shelf and

3:02:58 > 3:03:04walk out with it, using an app on your phone and I do it and it feels

3:03:04 > 3:03:08weird, feels like I'm doing something wrong. Interesting, yeah,

3:03:08 > 3:03:14this morning, saying, I cannot wait to try this, never have to speak

3:03:14 > 3:03:20with anybody in a shop again. Brilliant. Other people have said, I

3:03:20 > 3:03:24like speaking to people.You have touched on a nerve, technology does

3:03:24 > 3:03:28brilliant things, we can all agree with that, but there is something to

3:03:28 > 3:03:33me about chatting randomly to people, I like it. I love a chinwag,

3:03:33 > 3:03:41not everybody does but it removes something that is important.Yeah,

3:03:41 > 3:03:44and I don't think we will see the end of staff in shops, there are

3:03:44 > 3:03:47staff in these stores, but they do different things.Maybe that is the

3:03:47 > 3:03:52point.You can pick things up and walk out, so you have somebody

3:03:52 > 3:03:56standing by the alcohol to make sure you all done up to buy it. Staff to

3:03:56 > 3:04:03cook things, to buy things fresh on the day. Things doing -- people

3:04:03 > 3:04:08doing different things. Staff on the door to make sure that you can get

3:04:08 > 3:04:13in. Although they are talking about no queueing, ironically there has

3:04:13 > 3:04:17been a massive queue of people outside wanting to get in!LAUGHTER

3:04:17 > 3:04:22To see how it all works. The other thing people making a comment about,

3:04:22 > 3:04:25staff are employed in different ways but essentially, it will see an end

3:04:25 > 3:04:31to those human jobs, at some stage, check out the system.Yet, although,

3:04:31 > 3:04:36the counter argument is that automation comes along and get rid

3:04:36 > 3:04:41of jobs but creates new jobs, so there are jobs in banks, being faced

3:04:41 > 3:04:48by other jobs, and so interesting to see whether that happens in

3:04:48 > 3:04:52supermarkets. But we have already seen the huge growth in the

3:04:52 > 3:04:59automated checkouts, which some people find a pain but other people,

3:04:59 > 3:05:02I tend to gravitate towards them, because I can keep my headphones in.

3:05:02 > 3:05:07I can keep my music on.What they are concerned about his loyalty,

3:05:07 > 3:05:12brand loyalty, what is the impact of technology on that? Does it depend

3:05:12 > 3:05:17upon the person you are?The technology here, interesting to see

3:05:17 > 3:05:22how Amazon will interact with the data that it has about you from you

3:05:22 > 3:05:32with the store. Maybe it will, maybe it will say, you should try this,

3:05:32 > 3:05:36this and this. And it will have things ready for you, perhaps. There

3:05:36 > 3:05:39is lots of interesting ways they could use the data they have about

3:05:39 > 3:05:44you, which some people may find creepy.Some people do not want to

3:05:44 > 3:05:49give their data... Can they protect it?That is where we may see a

3:05:49 > 3:05:54kickback, the traditional stores may hang onto people who do not want

3:05:54 > 3:05:58anything to do with data, they just want to buy some breakfast cereal,

3:05:58 > 3:06:05or whatever.Was eating Hackman, enemy of the state, he lived in a

3:06:05 > 3:06:11shared! And metal shed, I am half tempted to do that, never look up. I

3:06:11 > 3:06:15want to raise technology at the same time but still... Gene Hackman in

3:06:15 > 3:06:21Enemy of the State --. Please don't go to live in a shared.No, I won't

3:06:21 > 3:06:28go to live in a shared! -- shed.

3:06:29 > 3:06:31Author Catherine Mayer, who co-founded the Women's Equality

3:06:31 > 3:06:32Party will join us in a moment.

3:06:32 > 3:08:06Party will join us in a moment. latest on the gas leak in central

3:08:06 > 3:08:09London, keep up-to-date through the website, now though, back to Dan and

3:08:09 > 3:08:15Louise.

3:08:17 > 3:08:20This week, millions of people from around the world have been

3:08:20 > 3:08:21marching for women's rights.

3:08:21 > 3:08:24It's a subject that has dominated the headlines in recent months,

3:08:24 > 3:08:26with revelations around the gender pay gap and harassment

3:08:26 > 3:08:30scandals stretching from Westminster to Hollywood.

3:08:30 > 3:08:32We're joined by the author, Catherine Mayer,who co-founded

3:08:32 > 3:08:34the Women's Equality Party and believes ending discrimination

3:08:34 > 3:08:41could help save the world.

3:08:41 > 3:08:46You have written a book about this, explained the premise.The funny

3:08:46 > 3:08:51thing is, there is huge consensus around this point, from all sorts of

3:08:51 > 3:08:56different parts of the world, if you look at business, they know that

3:08:56 > 3:09:01business works better if they have real diversity throughout all levels

3:09:01 > 3:09:05of business. Politics, nobody thinks politics is going that well at the

3:09:05 > 3:09:08moment and one of the things that makes it go better is if you have

3:09:08 > 3:09:15more diversity. The reason things go wrong is not just that there are too

3:09:15 > 3:09:20many men in charge, it is too many men thinking the same way and not

3:09:20 > 3:09:23challenging each other's views. There is some really quick fixes we

3:09:23 > 3:09:29can do to make things better. And there is social benefits. It is, by

3:09:29 > 3:09:34the way, believe it or not, better for men, countries that have more

3:09:34 > 3:09:39gender equality have happier men, healthier men. So, we are missing

3:09:39 > 3:09:44out on all of these benefits. One of the reason Sandi Toksvig and I

3:09:44 > 3:09:49co-founded the party was we looked around and we thought, people are

3:09:49 > 3:09:52apparently agreeing on this stuff and yet it is not happening, the old

3:09:52 > 3:09:57parties are not delivering. We need to do something about it.A lot of

3:09:57 > 3:10:02these conversations, some people can be immediately alienated, one of the

3:10:02 > 3:10:09things for the party, you have male members.Yes, and I am really keen

3:10:09 > 3:10:14to build the male involvement in the party and I am always saying to men,

3:10:14 > 3:10:19I don't understand why you are not out there, working for gender

3:10:19 > 3:10:22equality yourselves, for all of these reasons in terms of how much

3:10:22 > 3:10:27better it is for you. But it is one of the things that men are brought

3:10:27 > 3:10:32up to think of this as being something separate from them. You

3:10:32 > 3:10:35hear men talking about women's issues, when talking about

3:10:35 > 3:10:40childcare, as if it was not something that is a people issue.A

3:10:40 > 3:10:44lot of men are doing that, not shouting about it, but there are

3:10:44 > 3:10:49quite a few men trying to address those issues.And gets nervous about

3:10:49 > 3:10:55it, and there are reasons why you might think you would be angry if

3:10:55 > 3:10:59you occupied the space that we are trying to make for women, but I

3:10:59 > 3:11:04think they are also doing it for themselves.This is something you

3:11:04 > 3:11:10have talked about for years, do you get a sense that 2017/18 there has

3:11:10 > 3:11:16been a real change in the conversation.I started to say, we

3:11:16 > 3:11:19co-founded the party because there was apparent consensus but what we

3:11:19 > 3:11:26then had was it became visible what the mechanisms were that were

3:11:26 > 3:11:31holding women back, not all of them, people still do not understand why

3:11:31 > 3:11:37there is a pay gap, women apparently choose to be paid less. But, what

3:11:37 > 3:11:40happened was, things like the election of Donald Trump laid bare

3:11:40 > 3:11:51the idea, the lie, that we were all on the same page on this.

3:11:52 > 3:11:54on the same page on this. And I believe that he deserves a medal,

3:11:54 > 3:12:01for having galvanised women and the forces of these progressive values

3:12:01 > 3:12:06in the way that he did. You mention the marches, that is what that is

3:12:06 > 3:12:10about, people are seeing what we are up against and they are reacting.

3:12:10 > 3:12:16And then, the meat to movement came along, and that began to show the

3:12:16 > 3:12:21world what women have known all the time. -- #Me Too.What about the

3:12:21 > 3:12:24programme you did with Grayson Perry, will that be on later this

3:12:24 > 3:12:29year?No, it is... Grayson Perry and I are doing a show called, hello

3:12:29 > 3:12:38boys. And I mentioned a medal for Donald Trump, we are... Grayson is

3:12:38 > 3:12:43making a medal for Donald Trump to award to him for having done so much

3:12:43 > 3:12:50to promote, to galvanise women worldwide. But, hello boys, what we

3:12:50 > 3:12:56are doing is in courage in people to come along and bring along

3:12:56 > 3:12:59antifeminist, people unconvinced by the arguments of feminism, we will

3:12:59 > 3:13:05try to convert them in one evening...!You have got to get them

3:13:05 > 3:13:13to watch it to come along and be converted.

3:13:14 > 3:13:20converted. You want to say something...

3:13:20 > 3:13:23Catherine's book is called

3:13:23 > 3:13:25"Attack of the 50 Foot Women:

3:13:25 > 3:13:27How Gender Equality can Save the World".
