24/01/2018 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

A rise in the number

of prosections collapsing

because of mistakes

over sharing evidence

New figures show a 70% rise

in cases being dropped

in England and Wales

because information was incorrectly

handled by police and prosecutors.

Good morning, it's Wednesday

the 24th of January.

Also this morning:

The level

of addiction to drugs

like painkillers and antidepressants

is to be investigated health

officials, ministers describe it

as a growing problem.

As heavy snows in the Alps

leave resorts cut off,

we've a special report

on the measures being taken

to prevent dangerous avalanches

adding to the hazards.

Good morning from the UK's biggest

toy fair, we spend over £3 billion

on them last year, that's a fall

compared to the year before. I'm

going to be looking at why.

Phil

Neville is the UK's women's manager

but the former Manchester United and

England defender's appointment has

come in for a steady flow of

criticism for his lack of experience

at international level.

Three awards at the National

Televisions Awards for presenters

Ant and Dec, and an emotional speech

from Ant after spending time

in rehab.

It's been a very emotional night

tonight. It's been quite a year,

it's been quite a tough 12 months,

so winning this tonight really,

really means a lot.

And Matt has the weather.

Good morning, Storm Georgina is here

today bringing severe gales to

western areas and heavy rain around

too. I've got your full forecast in

around 15 minutes. See you then.

Good morning.

First, our main story:

The number of prosecutions

which have collapsed because police

or prosecutors didn't follow rules

about disclosing evidence has risen

by 70% in England and Wales

over the past two years.

Proceedings were dropped

against more than 900 people

in the 12 months to last April,

because of problems with evidence.

Our home affairs correspondent

Danny Shaw reports.

I was relieved for myself but also

everyone that's been with me every

step of the way.

Under investigation for eight for

two years, Liam Allen's life was on

hold them three days into his trial,

his legal team received crucial

information and the prosecution was

halted. The case highlighted

problems with disclosure, the duty

on police and prosecutors to pass on

material which might assist the

defence case or undermine the

prosecution's.

BBC News has obtained figures on how

many people have been cleared or had

allegations dropped against them

because of disclosure failings.

In 2014 to 15, proceedings were

halted against 537 people. By last

year that number had risen to 916.

That's a 70% increase in two years

in the number of the tendons cleared

after disclosure failings emerged.

The entire criminal justice system

has to run on the public trusting

and having confidence in it. It's

seen as a very serious issue now at

all levels and rightly so because

unless the defence can have

confidence, unless the public can

have confidence in the disclosure

regime, we're going to have

problems.

The Crown Prosecution Service

pointed out that the number of cases

which failed because of disclosure

issues represented only a fraction,

0.15% of all prosecutions. But the

CPS said that was still too many and

it would take a collective effort

across the criminal justice system

to bring about an improvement. Danny

Shaw, BBC News.

We'll be discussing this

with a leading defence Barrister

just after 7am.

One in every 11 patients in England

is being prescribed medication

which could be addictive,

or difficult to stop taking,

according to new NHS data.

Public Health England

is launching a year long review

into what it calls the growing

problem of prescription drug

addiction.

Alexander Mackenzie has more.

Routine prescription drugs. Most of

us use them and suffer no ill

effects. But for some, powerful and

commonly prescribed the drugs like

cocaine, morphine or tramadol can

lead to a crippling and potentially

fatal addiction. The problem could

start with a legitimate prescription

or medication following an

operation. A patient becomes

dependent and some drugs are then

cheap and easily available.

Prescriptions for addictive

medicines have risen by 3% in five

years.

The use of antidepressants has more

than doubled in the past decade.

And 8.9%, or one in 11 of all

patients, have been prescribed a

potentially addictive drug.

Dependence on prescription drugs,

particularly opioids, has become a

massive problem in the United

States. This new review by Public

Health England will last a year.

Its aim is to establish just how

serious an issue it is here and what

needs to be done to prevent more

lives being ruined by addiction.

Alexandra Mackenzie, BBC News.

A former doctor for the USA

gymnastics team, who admitted

sexually abusing dozens of girls,

is due to be sentenced later today.

Many of his victims were gymnasts

while working for USA

Gymnastics and Michigan

State University.

The BBC's Rajini

Vaidyanathan has more.

Larry Nassar has already pleaded

guilty to ten council sex abuse. As

part of his sentencing, the judge

invited any other of his victims to

come forward. More than 150 did.

18-year-old Emily Mirallas was one

of them.

I still believed in you and have

sympathy for you, how could I have

been so naive? How could a person

who I thought to be so genuine and

kind and genuine be in fact the

opposite? I will never understand.

But now I have said that I want you

to look at me, I believe in

forgiveness, Larry.

Larry Nassar's due to be sentenced

today. Many of the women also want

him to show the Morse.

I want you to

apologise to me right here. I want

to forgive you but I also want to

hear you tell me you regret all of

the hurt you have caused.

Thank you.

The judge has described

the women who have shared their

stories as sister survivors. Their

testimony has been harrowing but

also inspiring. It takes a lot for a

survivor of sex abuse to relive

their ordeal. It's even harder to do

that in front of their attacker in

court. Rajini Vaidyanathan, BBC

News, Lansing, Michigan.

Dame Tessa Jowell, the former Labour

minister, has spoken for the first

time about being diagnosed

with a severe form of brain cancer.

As Culture Secretary

in Tony Blair's government

she led

the successful bid for London

to host the 2012 Olympic Games.

On Thursday she'll give a speech

in the House of Lords

about her illness and her thoughts

on the way cancer treatment

could be improved.

She's been speaking

to the Today programme's Nick

Robinson.

I feel every single bit of my

determination to go on creating

better opportunities for people

managing cancer.

managing cancer. I feel very clear

about my sense of purpose and what I

want to do and how do I know how

long it's going to last? I'm

certainly going to do everything I

can to make it a very long time.

A new inquest is due to open

into the death of a soldier

at Deepcut Barracks in 1995.

Private Sean Benton was the first

of four young soldiers found dead

at the barracks in Surrey over

a seven year period.

A coroner has previously ruled

that he took his own life.

The new hearing was ordered

after family lawyers got access

to thousands of documents

relating to his case.

Our home affairs correspondent

June Kelly reports.

Sean Benton passed out

from his basic army training

in the autumn of 1994.

He had fulfilled his boyhood dream.

He was sent to Deepcut Barracks

in Surrey to finish his training.

Nine months after he arrived

here, he was dead.

He was found with a rifle at his

side and five bullet wounds to his

chest.

Sean's sister, Tracy,

remembers how he changed

in the army.

That's you and him?

Yeah.

She's clear on what she wants

from the new inquest.

To find out what happened,

what were his last moments.

Like, the bullying and the culture

in that camp, why do they let

it go on.

Sean Benton, he was found shot...

Sean's parents, Harry

and Linda, didn't live to see

this new inquest.

I promised my mum I would carry

on for her, but I feel sad,

because they should be fighting

to get some justice for him.

Sean Benton was the first of four

young soldiers to die at Deepcut

over a seven-year period to be

all suffered shotgun wounds.

A fresh inquest on one of the four,

Private Cheryl James,

concluded she had

taken her own life.

Like Cheryl, Sean died 23 years ago.

Now, for the first time,

his days at Deepcut will be examined

in detail in public.

June Kelly, BBC News.

Talks aimed at restoring

the coalition government

in Northern Ireland are due

to start later today.

Newly appointed Northern

Ireland Secretary

Karen Bradley will attend

the talks at Stormont,

along with representatives

from the region's five main parties.

There hasn't been a functioning

powersharing executive

for over a year.

The coalition between

the Democratic Unionists

and Sinn Fein collapsed

last January.

Stars of the small screen

were on the red carpet last night,

that was for the annual

National Television Awards.

Best Drama was won by the BBC

series Doctor Foster,

with its star Suranne Jones taking

home Best Drama Performance.

Congratulations. Ant and Dec were

the biggest winners again. They were

named best presenters for the 17th

time and also picked up the first

ever Bruce Forsyth entertainment

award.

It's been a very emotional night

tonight. It's been quite a year.

It's been quite a tough 12 months,

so winning this tonight really,

really means a lot.

I'd personally like to thank a lot

of my family and friends, some of

whom are here tonight, so thank you

very much. Thank you for all your

support, it's help me get through,

bags do all the gang, I love you,

thank you. Let's not cry.

17 years in a row! It isn't just

that one, they win so many!

Yesterday was all about Kyle Edman,

we have that tomorrow, today it is

Phil Neville?

He will lead the

England women's. There's two sides

to this, he's the most high manager

they've had. It will bring a lot of

attention to the game. --

high-profile manager. One former

player said if he was managing at

the time she was playing it would be

inspiring, someone who has worked

under Alex Ferguson, 60 England

caps, but he hasn't had much

managerial experience and that is

what everyone is talking about.

The former Manchester United

and England defender Phil Neville

has been appointed head coach

of the England women's team

on a three and a half year deal.

He's worked as a coach at several

clubs but has only managed one game

at Salford City, a team he co-owns.

His lack of experience has come

in for some criticism.

Manchester City are into the final

of the Carabao Cup.

They were made to work hard for it

by Bristol City but eventually beat

the Championship side 3-2

on the night, 5-3 on aggregate.

It sets up manager Pep Guardiola's

first cup final in charge.

Celtic came from behind

to beat Partick Thistle

and stretch their lead at the top

of the Scottish Premiership

to 11 points.

Leigh Griffiths scored

the winner in the second half.

After beating Novak Djockavic

in the previous round,

21-year-old Hyeon Chung

has become the first

South Korean Grand Slam

semi-finalist with a straight-set

win over American Tennys Sandgren

at the Australian Open.

He's really beaten Djokovic at his

own game, interesting to see that

quarter-final.

What time is Kyle

Edmund on tomorrow?

8:30 a.m., just

as we are coming off. It is daytime.

Perfect for you!

I don't have to get

up at 3:30am to watch.

do in the morning, and then watched

best of the start to get the under

some pretty lively weather,

particularly this morning. A spell

of heavy rain as well. Coupled with

further snow melting, minor

flooding.

Scotland. Storm Georgina, the eye of

the storm is north-west of us at the

moment. Strong wind tied in with

this bank of cloud and the heaviest

of the rain, parts of south-east

Scotland and northern England and

Wales, strong wind pushing its way

into the Midlands. The strongest of

the wind, by the time we get to the

rush-hour. Could see wins gusting in

excess of 70 miles per hour. Lots of

showers, persistent rain across

Shetland. Clear skies and a few

showers around. Into England and

Wales, a mild start to the very

windy. Heavy rain through this

morning. Into the Midlands. Within

that, a brief spell of torrential

rain as well. To the south and east,

lighter rain to begin with. Some

places starting drive at the wet and

increasingly windy weather will

spread to the end of the morning and

the start of the afternoon. It does

mean if you've got weighed in,

things will brighten up. Sunshine

and showers through the afternoon

and by the end of the afternoon, the

south-east corner and across the far

northern Scotland. The peak of the

temperatures, dropping off into

afternoon. Certainly cooler is the

night gone. Continuing to feed in

some showers across western areas. A

gone. Particularly in eastern areas.

Tomorrow, a little bit more

straightforward. Sunny conditions. A

bit wintry in the tops of the hills.

It will feel a bit colder. But

nothing untoward this time of year.

Temperatures where they should be at

around 4- nine Celsius. The showers

will clear away. A brief ridge of

high pressure pushing in to take

this into the start of Friday. A few

overnight showers lingering. In the

West, a frosty start but not a bad

day. The driest, brightest day of

the week. Some sunny spells and a

little on the cool side but as we go

into the weekend, a lot of cloud

around. Dan and Louise, compared to

last weekend, a good deal milder as

well.

Let's take a look

at today's papers..

That's an interesting story.

There are 900 restaurants. 100

The Daily

Express have a story about

arthritis. And also, looking at the

Worboys story, the police doing

another investigation.

As you

mentioned, Kyle Edmund is all over

the papers. Also, his matchup with

Marin Cilic after Rafael Nadal. The

ecstasy of Kyle Edmund and the agony

of Rafael Nadal. He often doesn't

pull out of matches. The first,

sorry, second time in 264 matches.

He says the schedule needs to change

to prevent these injuries. The

matchup between Kyle Edmund and

Marin Cilic. Also, the sexism row.

As soon as he said how honoured he

wasn't getting the job on Twitter,

he said goodbye to Twitter and left.

The press have looked at historical

tweets. A couple of controversial

ones. One of the book is about, you

women always want a quality when you

come to paying the Bills, also, good

morning, men. A couple of hours of

cricket sets me up. When asked why

he addressed men, he said he thought

women would be busy preparing

Breakfast in getting the kids ready.

A lot of Twitter, his tongue is

firmly in his cheek. He has sort of

said goodbye. On the Kyle Edmund

thing, his mum is not going to the

semi-final. If he gets to the final.

She says she is not going out to the

semi-final because she doesn't want

to annoy her son by nagging him

about whether he should be wearing

suncream in the Aussie heat.

It's

always the job of a mum to know how

annoying nagging can be.

They have

also used our thing from yesterday

calling him Kyle-manjaro. We get a

little mentioned. We ran a poll and

it came out on top. 60% went to the

Kyle-manjaro.

If he is at Wimbledon

and he is renamed Kyle-manjaro, it

was down to you.

Not entirely you.

You wanted Edmund Hillary.

But the second time this month,

thousands of tourists have been

stranded in the squiz ski resort of

Zermatt. The weather has affected

parts of Austria and Italy. The

avalanche risk at maximum. Our

correspondence Imogen Foulkes joins

us from Bern.

Massive amounts of

snow in the Alps, up to three

metres. Imagine that, 12 feet of

snow. Not down here, you won't see

much snow. Intense rain, riverbanks.

The skies are clearing. That is good

news for tourists up in the Alps

because the ski slopes are open

again.

again. But that is thanks to some

very hard work in avalanche control.

100 years ago, Zermatt was cut off

every winter or winter. To keep this

resort accessible and safe today

requires some behind very high

technology. The mountainsides are

monitored and risk mapped. Zermatt

is protected by over 60 other large

towers.

Each avalanche tower

consists of a metallic tower

installed in the avalanche zone and

there is a deployment box placed on

that Towler. In the hour, there are

12 explosive charges, an electronic

controls, solar panels to supply the

system with power.

The towers are

best seen from the air. When

monitors detect a snow build-up, the

explosives are detonated remotely

from down in the valley. The air

burst creates a controlled snow

slide. Exploding towers on every

mountainside may sound alarming but

today, although more people are

coming to the Alps, there are fewer

avalanche victims. 33 years ago, 11

people died in an avalanche on the

road to Zermatt. Such accidents

should now be prevented.

TRANSLATION: nowadays with new

technology we can guarantee to a

very large extent people are safe.

The accidents were used to have

won't happen but of course, there is

no such thing as 100% safety.

Alpine

Road and rail lines do still

sometimes close but for shorter

periods. Winter visitors may

occasionally suffer a little delay

but whenever they arrive, the view

is certainly worth it.

As you see, the slopes will open

again in Zermatt today. The skiers

can enjoy themselves and I'm also

told by the authorities that they

are hoping the rail line will open

as well. If not, those helicopter

shuttles will keep on going. But, as

you see, clear skies, beautiful day

for skiing. Enjoy it if you are up

in the mountains because more snow

is forecast for the weekend.

Interesting seeing the work to make

sure people are safe. We will be

back with you a bit later.

Coming up later in the programme.

We spent more than 3 billion

pounds on toys last year -

but that's less than in 2016.

Steph's at the UK's biggest toy

trade show in London,

finding out why.

Sunday.

from the BBC London newsroom

in half an hour.

Plenty more on our website

at the usual address.

Hello, this is Breakfast,

with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

We'll bring you all the latest news

and sport in a moment,

but also on Breakfast this morning:

We'll speak to International Trade

Secretary Liam Fox about the state

of Theresa May's cabinet

after she rebuked Boris Johnson

over his comments on the NHS.

We meet Anna Hursey.

She'll represent Wales

at the Commonwealth Games

in Australia at the age of 11.

And comedian Rhod Gilbert

will be here to tell us why

despite his fame he's often too

shy to order a coffee.

Good morning,

here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

The number of prosecutions

which have collapsed because police

or prosecutors didn't follow rules

about disclosing evidence,

has risen by 70% in England

and Wales over the past two years.

Proceedings were dropped

against more than 900 people

in the 12 months to last April,

because of problems with evidence.

The issue has been highlighted

by some recent rape trials,

which have put the judicial

process under scrutiny.

The entire criminal justice system

has to run on the public trusting

and having confidence in it.

It's seen as a very serious issue

now at all levels and rightly

so because unless the defence

can have confidence,

unless the public can have

confidence in the disclosure regime,

we're going to have problems.

One in every 11 patients in England

is being prescribed medication which

could be addictive or difficult to

stop taking according to new NHS

data. Public Health England is

launching a year-long review into

what it calls the growing problem of

prescription drug addiction. It'll

look at sedatives, painkillers and

antidepressants.

Two newspapers have threatened legal

action if the Parole Board does not

publish its reasons for agreeing

to release the convicted rapist John

Worboys.

The Sun and the Daily Mail have

written to the board,

and Justice Secretary David Gauke,

demanding the report within seven

days or they will apply

for a judicial review.

Both the board and Ministry

of Justice said they are legally

prohibited from disclosing

such decisions.

Two children have been killed and 17

wounded in a shooting at a school

in the US state of Kentucky.

A 15-year-old boy has been arrested.

Pupils were seen running

out of a building at

Marshal County High School

in the town of Benton

There hasn't been a functioning

power-sharing executive in Northern

Ireland for over a year. The

coalition between the Democratic

Unionist and Sinn Fein collapsed

last January.

It was the National Television

Awards last night and there was

another big win for Ant and Dec.

Amazing. There was one award that

people around the world, and that we

are going to do something to protect

our beautiful world, then all of us

will be very pleased. Thank you so

much.

And I'd like to say thank you for

the memories.

Thank you, everybody. Good night!

The

winners last night from the National

Television Awards.

We weren't there,

just every other year, we don't have

to go every year!

Good morning, Sonali.

Phil Neville had started following

England players on Twitter and that

was a sign something was going on!

He might have been doing his

homework. He has been, he's been

given that head job of the England

women's team. Two sides to this,

he's a high-profile figure, he has

won lots of trophies. He knows what

it's like to be at the top so he can

inspire in that way but people are

questioning his lack of experience

as a manager and also of the women's

game so it depends on the way you're

looking at it.

The former Manchester United

and England defender Phil Neville

has appointed as the new head coach

of the England women's team.

Neville has worked

as a coach with United

as well as Everton and Valencia.

He's signed a three and a half year

deal with the Lionesses,

but his lack of experience managing

in women's football has come

in for criticism.

It's an interesting one, he's been

involved in the game at the top

level in terms of being a player,

he's been assistant manager so maybe

the FA thought this was the right

appointment, he could add insights

and obviously he hasn't worked in

the women's game, that will be the

main thing people will look at but

he has people around him to draw on

and obviously having the experience

of the players like Casey Stoney,

who is looking to work into a

coaching role or managerial role, so

as long he has the right network of

people around him I'm sure he'll be

fine.

Neville deleted his Twitter account

last night after he some

of his social media

posts were discovered.

Back to 2012, he had said,

"Morning men, couple of hours

cricket before

work sets me up nicely for the day."

When people responded asking

whether he would address women,

he wrote, "When I said morning

men I thought the women

would of been busy preparing

breakfast/getting kids ready/making

beds.

Sorry, morning women!"

Manchester City are the first team

into the final of the Carabao Cup.

They beat Bristol City 3-2

on the night, 5-3 on aggregate

thanks to goals from Leroy Sane,

Sergio Aguero and Kevin de Bruyne.

It brings an end to the Championship

side's remarkable cup run which has

seen them beat Manchester United

along the way, and gives

Pep Guardiola his first chance

to manage City in a cup final.

Well, tonight, Arsenal and Chelsea

go the other place in the final.

It's poised at 0-0 on aggregate

after a goalless first leg

at Stamford Bridge.

It's an important game. We want to

go to the final. We have an

opportunity to do it at home against

Chelsea. I think the two teams know

each other very well. I think the

first leg was very blocked, I think

the second leg will certainly be

more open because at some stage the

teams will have to open up to try to

win the game so it should be much

more spectacular than the first one.

Celtic came from behind

in their Glasgow derby

at Partick Thistle to win 2-1.

Partick had taken the lead

through a penalty,

but Celtic equalised with a penalty

of their own before Leigh Griffiths

scored the winner

in the second half.

That win stretches the Premiership

champions' lead at the top

of the table to 11 points.

After beating Novak Djokovic in the

quarter-final charm has become the

first South Korean grandslam

semifinalist with a straight sets

win over American sand grain at the

Australian Open.

Meanwhile, In the last half hour

world number one Simona Halep beat

Karolina Pliskova to reach

the womens semi-finals.

Halep will face Angelique Kerber

in the last four after the German

thrashed Madison Keys earlier.

Crowdfunded athletes Mica McNeill

and Mica Moore have been included

in Great Britain's bobsleigh team

of ten for the Winter Olympics in

Pyeongchang.

The pair were only able to compete

on the World Cup circuit

this season after raising more

than £30,000

following an overspend

by the governing body.

They finished in the top ten in four

of their eight World Cup races.

And if you were watching

the programme yesterday you'll have

seen the unique way Manchester

United revealed their latest signing

Alexis Sanchez on Twitter.

Well, it seems some other teams have

been inspired by United's

social media efforts,

this is Scottish Premiership side

Motherwell's big reveal

for their latest signing,

former Harlepool United

defender Pete Hartley.

You'll notice he too has gone

for his first name on the back

of his shirt, but Pete doesn't seem

to have Alexis' piano skills.

It was only a matter of time.

Brilliant. So much I love about

that.

I have that little baby grand

piano at home.

He broke it! A bit of

dramatic affect.

I have one of

theirs at home so I could recreate

that video.

Queue more parodies.

Hilarious! We need more of that in

our lives!

It was a bit cheesy,

wasn't it?

Exactly, it needs fun

poked at it.

If you've been to a concert

recently, you may have noticed

an extra performer at

the side of the stage.

People who are deaf

have the right to request

sign language interpreters.

But when a mum bought her

daughter tickets to see

Little Mix, she had to threaten

legal action to make the promoter

provide a signer.

Now she's suing them because that

signer was present only

for the main act.

Our legal correspondent

Clive Coleman reports.

Cake, Mary and her friend Megan are

massive Little Mix fans. -- Kate.

Last year Kate's Mum Sally bought

tickets to see the band in concert.

Sally's death and booked for her and

to their friends to go with her

daughters. She asked the organisers,

LH G Live, to provide a British sign

language interpreter.

We asked two

or three times initially, please can

you provide the interpreter for us.

The explanation we got back was no,

we didn't have any reason behind it.

Eventually we became so frustrated

and I wanted to share the same

experience my daughter had and my

friends were there too, they just

wanted access to the songs.

Under

the equality act any organisation

providing a service to the public is

under a duty to make reasonable

adjustments to ensure disabled

people's experience is as close as

possible to those without a

disability. With just days to go

before the concert and no

interpreter in place, Sally took an

unprecedented legal step. She

instructed lawyers to apply for a

court injunction to force LH G Live

to provide a British sign language

interpreter, and it worked. The

girls and their mums got to go to

the concert and when Little Mix took

to the stage, their lyrics were

interpreted for Sally and her

friends. But earlier on there word

two supporting acts. And interpreter

hadn't been booked to cover them.

I

felt we were really part of the

Little Mix experience and because it

was so good I realised we'd missed

out on the first two acts. It was

very much a disparity of experience

to everyone else, we got only access

to the last act. If you went to see

a film can you imagine only having

access to the last 20 minutes? The

music promoters bore venues have to

be aware that we've paid for our

ticket the same as everyone else.

In

a statement LH G Live told the BBC:

For Kate and Mary, there's only one

thing that matters.

Because I really love my mum and I

really want her to come to the

consonants with me.

concerts.

Very interesting. We are signed on

the news channel so good morning!

Let's find out what's going on in

the weather.

It is not

It is not looking good the sum.

Storm Georgina is set to bring

gales. Severe gales for a time in

the West. A spell of heavy rain as

well which will cause surface water

on some of the roads. This massive

swell of cloud. The core of the

storm just around this work, pushing

towards the Hebrides. This bank of

cloud as the weather front. Narrow

band of torrential rain. Might only

last about ten, 20 minutes. Pollard

still buy some rein in its wake. The

strongest winds over the next few

hours, 70, 80 miles per hour in the

Hebrides. Persistent rain in

Shetland. Southern and eastern

Scotland, clearer skies. Sunshine

and showers. Northern England, some

heavy rain.

heavy rain. Parts of Wales, edging

into south-west England. The wind,

50, 60 miles an hour. A few spots of

rain. Some brighter weather to begin

with. That spell of heavy rain and

some gusty wind. Winds that a

strongest by the end of the

afternoon around the Kent coast and

the far north of Scotland. In

between, sunshine and showers

through the afternoon. Temperatures

drop from some mild conditions.

Single figure is the most as we

finished the day. A scattering of

showers in the West. Nowhere near as

windy as last night. But it will be

cold tonight. Particularly across

northern and eastern areas, you may

wake up to a touch of frost. The

morning rush-hour, nowhere near as

horrendous as it will be. Showers in

the West. They will push eastwards.

Particularly East Anglia and the

south-east, will get through the day

drive that feeling cooler.

Temperatures the most in single

figures. Thursday night into Friday,

showers continuing. A rigid high

pressure in the West. That means

Friday morning, we finished the week

with more in the way of frost. Very

chilly start. Still a few showers to

begin with. Not a bad day to many.

Lots of sunshine through the

afternoon. As we go into the

weekend, nowhere near as cold as

last weekend, that is for sure. Rain

from West to east. Temperatures on

the rise. Much, much milder as we go

to a fairly cloudy weekend.

We like a bit

We like a bit of a rising

temperatures. We've been talking

about sales of toys which were down

in the UK which is given 's a

magnificent opportunity to have fun

at a giant fair.

What is going on is

mesmerising. Good morning everybody.

These are some of the toys that are

being shown that toy fair. It's a

busy few days to the toy industry.

Probably ready for next Christmas.

It has been a tough year for the toy

industry because sales have fallen.

But we have a couple of guests.

These are some of the toys which are

on display here. We have some new

inventions. Nicky, tell us about

this bear. This is Max.

He is a band who plays guided

meditations and even teaches

children mindfulness. He has a box

set which teaches children emotional

awareness and being positive.

And

this is all because you were in an

accident. You didn't have any

experience in no experience.

I used

to be a writer and I had a career

ending accident. I saw a gap in the

market with the rise of anxiety

rates and I thought, this is

something I could do to help.

Good

luck with it. We will be talking to

some other inventors later. But a

bigger picture on the industry.

Natasha and Emily. Natasha, you are

from the association which

represents the toy industry. What is

happening, why did sales fall?

A bit

of uncertainty in the industry last

year. We pay for our toys to be made

in American dollars and we sell and

sterling so the fluctuations with

breaks it caused uncertainty. We are

coping with a little bit of

consumers being uncertain in the

market and also, we are seeing more

counterfeits coming into the market

and we have seen before. That will

hit the bottom line as well as

having safety of locations.

Emily,

for retail week, is that endemic

across the sector?

Some of these

trends we have seen across non-food

in particular. People did splash out

on food. They are cutting back on

discretionary items. As we

mentioned, toys are getting a bit

more expensive.

I think people are

cutting back. It has been good news

for the value players. It is a sign

that customers are definitely

cutting back.

It's interesting,

Natasha, because we are innovative

when it comes to toys. Look at my

scooter. Something like 26,000 new

tool has launched last year. That

seems huge.

It's about 31% of the

whole toy market. It changes

year-on-year. Lots of innovation.

It's about 60% of toys are new every

year. We have lots of innovation.

Different price points. The point of

families needing to have something

that fits with our family pocket, we

do meet as an industry and we have

seen that. Maybe in the collectables

market. It was up 17% last year. The

smaller price point, collectable

toys. And I think the numbers of

toys that people are buying are

still the same. We are a nation that

likes children to play. Maybe we are

seeing people having to be a little

more cautious.

Thank you very much

real-time. I'm going to chat to

another one of the inventors. You

have just won an award.

We have won

a few awards but last night, we got

voted by Forbes as one of the

hottest toys for 2018. It is opening

up architecture and creative play to

children as never before. They can

now build beautiful position

architecture models. It's a

freethinking gender neutral product

that is fun and educational.

You

came up with it yourself.

I am an

architect by profession. I was

looking for a new way to make

architectural models. Being able to

use them again. This is very

free-form.

The horns are loose. Is

it a posh Lego?

If you'd like to

call it that, I am delighted.

It is

made in Ireland. Good luck with it.

Appreciate it. It's important that I

have another race with Tom. Should

we go correct? Obviously have to put

my helmet on. -- should be go for

it? Who is going to win? The girl

with a long legs but no power or

young Tommy?

My money is on you,

step. Right, go! Excellent.

Very

impressive.

impressive. Some of the front pages.

The Daily Mail. Herbal pills. They

are saying that millions of people

could be risking their health by

taking herbal remedies alongside

prescription drugs at the same time.

Lots of papers looking at the

National television awards. And the

50- 50 badge

50- 50 badge worn by Suranne Jones.

Lots of pictures of Suranne Jones.

On the front pages of the Express.

Arthritis, new pill to fight the

pain. We are looking prescription

drugs, whether they are addictive.

More than 2 billion older people --

2 million older people will have

serious illnesses because of obesity

and lazy lifestyles according to

another study. We talk about that a

lot on Breakfast. Dunkirk, it is in

contention to eight Oscars after

nominations revealed that breast

showing for British actors in 25

years.

Yesterday, a story about

director Peter Jackson who is re-

colourings some ageing footage from

World War I which will be on later

in the air. Taken the original

black-and-white footage. Most of it

is like the spat up on shaky. I

don't know quite how they have done

it. Everything is now in glorious

colour. They've adjusted the speed

and it looks sensational. His take

on audio, hours and hours of audio

of actual soldiers who took part and

he is remaking that as well. Like

you say, a sort of documentary. The

front page of the mirror. Their main

story here is about Jon Worboys, new

investigation.

Kyle Adnam, he went

through to the semifinals.

Celebrating the front page of The

Daily Telegraph.

World leaders are in the Swiss town

of Davos this week for the annual

World Economic Forum.

It's a chance for the movers

and shakers to meet and do deals

which could affect us all.

That is why International Trade

Secretary Liam Fox is there.

He's hoping to clinch trade

agreements that can be put

in place after Brexit.

We can speak to him now.

I hope it is warmer in your studio.

It is. Just looking at these trade

deals. Informal talks with about 12

nations.

About 14 trade working

groups. A lot of bogus year on Davos

is about the export side. A big

growth in the globe --a big growth

in the global economy. We are

looking to see where we might be a

will to use an investment. Remember,

last year, we had a record amount of

foreign direct investment into the

UK. We need to harness that an

improved global growth, includes the

prospects for prosperity and growth

in the UK.

One of the deals you

would like to get is with the US. We

know Donald Trump is due to arrive

today and we understand he is

talking about America first. Can we

get a good deal with America?

We

want to get an agreement with the

United States that is in both our

interests. Where we have advantages,

we are relatively similar types of

economies. Of course, one of

President from's main

President from's main concerns but

the United States is a very tough

negotiator. Exploring the shorter

shape he might have with a future

agreement.

Kenny also talk to us

about what Boris Johnson was talking

about? £100 million should be given

to the NHS after Brexit. Do you

agree?

Let me save you time and sale

never comment on anything. There

were our direction of travel is. We

have spelt -- we have spent $12.5

billion more. $16 billion more by

2020 and we see next money for

winter pressures. The money is going

in. If we have to have a debate in

this country about how we spend that

money, how we get better efficiency,

and make sure more of the money goes

through to patients, that will be a

thing.

BBC News has obtained figures on how

many people have been cleared or had

allegations dropped against them

because of disclosure failings.

In 2014-15, proceedings

were halted against 537 people.

By last year, that

number had risen to 916.

That's a 70% increase in two years

in the number of defendants cleared

after disclosure failings emerged.

The entire criminal justice system

has to run on the public trusting

and having confidence in it.

It's seen as a very serious issue

now at all levels and rightly

so because unless the defence

can have confidence,

unless the public can have

confidence in the disclosure regime,

we're going to have problems.

The Crown Prosecution Service

pointed out that the number of cases

which failed because of disclosure

issues represented only a fraction,

0.15% of all prosecutions.

But the CPS said that was still too

many and it would take a collective

effort across the criminal

justice system to bring

about an improvement.

Danny Shaw, BBC News.

One in every 11 patients in England

is being prescribed medication

which could be addictive,

or difficult to stop taking,

according to new NHS data.

Public Health England

is launching a year long review

into what it calls the growing

problem of prescription drug

addiction.

Alexander Mackenzie has more.

Routine prescription drugs.

Most of us use them

and suffer no ill effects.

But for some, powerful and commonly

prescribed the drugs like codeine,

morphine or tramadol

can lead to a crippling

and potentially fatal addiction.

The problem could start

with a legitimate prescription

or medication

following an operation.

A patient becomes dependent and some

drugs are then cheap

and easily available.

Prescriptions for addictive

medicines have risen by 3%

in five years.

The use of antidepressants has more

than doubled in the past decade.

And 8.9%, or one in 11

of all patients, have been

prescribed a potentially

addictive drug.

Dependence on prescription drugs,

particularly opioids,

has become a massive problem

in the United States.

This new review by Public Health

England will last a year.

Its aim is to establish just

how serious an issue

it is here and what needs to be done

to prevent more lives

being ruined by addiction.

Alexander Mackenzie, BBC News.

A former doctor for the USA

Gymnastics team who admitted

sexually abusing dozens of girls

is due to be sentenced later today.

Many of his victims were gymnasts

while working for USA

Gymnastics and Michigan

State University.

The BBC's Rajini

Vaidyanathan has more.

Larry Nassar has already pleaded

guilty to ten counts of sex abuse.

As part of his sentencing,

the judge invited any other

of his victims to come forward.

More than 150 did.

18-year-old Emily Morales

was one of them.

I still believed in you and had

sympathy for you, how could I have

been so naive?

How could a person that I thought

to be so genuine and kind

and caring be in fact the opposite?

I will never understand.

But now that I've said that,

I want you to look at me,

I believe in forgiveness, Larry.

Larry Nassar's due

to be sentenced today.

Many of the women also

want him to show remorse.

I want you to apologise

to me right here.

I want to forgive you but I also

want to hear you tell me you regret

all of the hurt you have caused.

Thank you.

The judge has described the women

who've shared their stories

as sister survivors.

Their testimony has been

harrowing but also inspiring.

It takes a lot for a survivor of sex

abuse to relive their ordeal.

It's even harder to do that in front

of their attacker in court.

Rajini Vaidyanathan,

BBC News, Lansing, Michigan.

Really powerful, isn't it?

Dame Tessa Jowell, the former Labour

minister, has spoken for the first

time about being diagnosed

with a severe form of brain cancer.

As Culture Secretary

in Tony Blair's government

she led

the successful bid for London

to host the 2012 Olympic Games.

On Thursday she'll give a speech

in the House of Lords

about her illness and her thoughts

on the way cancer treatment

could be improved.

She's been speaking

to the Today programme's Nick

Robinson.

I feel every single bit

of my determination to go

on creating better opportunities

for people managing cancer.

I feel very clear about my sense

of purpose and what I want to do

and how do I know how

long it's going to last?

I'm certainly going to do everything

I can to make it a very long time.

Talks aimed at restoring

the coalition government

in Northern Ireland are due

to start later today.

Newly appointed Northern

Ireland Secretary

Karen Bradley will attend

the talks at Stormont,

along with representatives

from the region's five main parties.

There hasn't been a functioning

powersharing executive

for over a year.

The coalition between

the Democratic Unionists

and Sinn Fein collapsed

last January.

Stars of the small screen

were on the red carpet last night

for the annual National

Television Awards.

Best Drama was won by the BBC

series Doctor Foster,

with its star Suranne Jones taking

home Best Drama Performance.

Ant and Dec were the

biggest winners again.

They were named Best Presenters

for the 17th time and also picked up

the first ever Bruce Forsyth

Entertainment Award.

It's been a very

emotional night tonight.

It's been quite a year.

It's been quite a tough 12 months,

so winning this tonight really,

really means a lot.

I'd personally like to thank

all my family and friends,

some of you are here tonight,

so thank you very much.

Thank you for all your support,

it really means the world to me

and helped me get through,

thanks to all the gang,

I love you, thank you.

Let's not cry.

There has been a significant

increase in the number

of prosecutions in England and Wales

which have collapsed because police

or prosecutors didn't follow rules

about disclosing evidence.

The issue has been highlighted

by some recent rape trials,

which have put the judicial

process under scrutiny.

In December, 22-year-old Liam Allan

was cleared of 12 counts

of rape and sexual assault.

His case was dropped after three

days at Croydon Crown Court

when police were ordered

to hand over phone records.

Just a few weeks ago,

Danny Kay had a rape conviction

overturned after deleted Facebook

messages were found.

He'd spent two years in prison

for a crime he didn't commit.

He spoke Breakfast shortly

after being released.

Devastating. For a system that you

trust to let you down like that. I

had complete faith in it. I trusted

that the truth would come out in

trial and it didn't. It's always

going to be difficult, it's always

going to be on my name.

Do you feel

that, do you feel no matter what

happened, the conviction is quashed,

do you feel like it should never

have happened, do you feel like it

hangs over you?

There's always going

to be people out there Mac thinking

about it.

We are joined by a defence

barrister.

If you can let's be clear, evidence

should be handed over by whom and

for what reason?

When the investigating agencies

investigate, all the

investigate, all the material they

have falls into two categories in

the main. One is the material they

intend to use and the other is the

material that either is irrelevant

or undermines their case or assists

the defence case. It's only when

that latter material is reviewed

properly can that be given over to

the defence and the defence have a

fair trial, because only when they

have a material can they present it

to the court.

I suppose as a defence

lawyer, or barrister, you've got to

trust that all that information is

coming to you and if you start to

think old on, something is being

held back, that's when the process

doesn't really work.

-- hold on. Versus why this is such

a fundamental programme, -- that is

why this is such a fundamental

problem, if this isn't given to the

defence, how can they have a fair

trial? That will in some cases lead

to miscarriages of justice and. The

figures you got show there has been

cases that have not proceeded

further but what about the cases

that have been adjourned because

disclosure failings have existed and

prosecuting agencies have been given

more opportunity to put their house

in order?

Where is the problem, why

is this happening?

The problem can

be in various places in the chain,

it can be at the investigation

stage, it can be when the police are

putting the material together, it

can be the prosecuting agencies who

are reviewing it. This is what needs

to be looked at very carefully. It's

the entire process, where these

failings are happening and why

they're happening. Is it the fact

they don't understand what should be

done? Is a lack of resources or some

other reason? Clearly we have

something here that is hitting at

the heart of the criminal justice

system that needs a clear review

before we start ending up with a

series of miscarriages of justice.

In a recent interview, I'm sure you

saw it, not judge suggested that it

could be the case where jury is

question the evidence put in front

of them -- Lord Judge.

That questions the quality of the

justice system?

-- jury is.

You need to have confidence in a...

Juries

for statistics to be... 0.15% or

whatever it should be, there's an

element of irresponsibility in

trying to brush these types of

issues away from the main. We seen

examples of rape cases taking the

limelight, but now we know, and the

profession has always known, that

the problem is wider, it's not

regional, its national as well.

You

talked about the rape cases, what

other types are being affected?

I'm

not meant to exclude any cases but

fraud cases are another aspect when

there are long delays in those cases

regularly. The prosecution

authorities are given more and more

opportunity to put their house in

order. There is significant amounts

of documents when resources are not

made available for those matters and

for the review to take place as it

should. That's another end.

Does

this require legislation to sort

out?

just ends nobody seems to be

following

just ends nobody seems to be

following it.

The cases that we've

highlighted. It hasn't been

followed. We need to know why. Let's

work out the problem first. Then we

can look at the solution. The

solution might be, we just need

people to follow what is there.

Of

course, as we mentioned earlier,

this has a serious impact on

people's lives.

Of course. We have

examples not only a prosecution is

failing the people 's lives being

put on hold with criminal

proceedings hanging over their heads

the many years because of these

types of issues. And that's not

buried.

Wendy think it is going to

change?

When somebody has a proper

look. Put some resources into taking

an independent review of the entire

process and come to some firm

decisions rather than playing

statistics.

It's interesting talking

to you. Thank you very much indeed.

Here's Matt with a look

at this morning's weather.

You have been dropping the word mild

in.

Very mild across parts of the UK. To

get is there, we have some lively

conditions. Storm Georgina is

Windows, bringing gales across the

country. Heavy rain as well.

Certainly if you are travelling over

some of the bridges, the ferry

services across Scotland have been

disrupted. The wind at the moment

peeking across every day. 75 miles

an hour. Across many parts of

south-west Scotland, western England

and Wales, gusts over 60 miles an

hour. Storm Georgina is to the

north-west of the country. Heavy

rain sweeping out. On that, a brief

spell of torrential rain which could

cause a few problems on the roads.

Up to around nine o'clock, some

heavy rain across northern Scotland.

The wind peeking at the moment.

Gales across the rest of Scotland,

Northern Ireland. Writing up in

northern England.

northern England. It eases back into

more general rain.

more general rain. At the moment,

most places reasonably dry.

Strongest winds around the Kent

coast. In between, Sunshine and

showers. Temperatures peaking at the

moment. By the afternoon, back down

into single figures. That does mean

tonight, Julian Knight them last

night. Showers mainly in the West,

some eastern areas clear. Maybe

tomorrow morning, frosty rather than

a windy start to the day. A bit

breezy in places. Still showers to

begin with. Eastern areas, dry. Dry

the bulk if not all of the day in

the east. Showers pushing to east.

Temperatures single figures

foremost, a roundabout where it

should be. Thursday night into

Friday, showers for a time, becoming

confined to the east of the country.

The showers killed off. Frosty start

the much of the UK on Friday. The

device around as well. Not a bad

day. One of the more pleasant days

of the week. As the plans of the

weekend, if last weekend was to

Coles view, it's turning milder.

Lots of cloud around. Just a bit

patchy rain around on Sunday. That

is how it is looking.

Matt is saying it is milder than a

lot of snow around parts of Europe.

For the second time this month,

thousands of tourists have been

stranded in the ski

ski resort of Zermatt.

The weather has affected parts

of Austria and Italy.

The avalanche risk is at maximum.

Rail and road traffic

has been stopped.

Our correspondent

Imogen Foulkes joins

us from Bern.

You can tell is what they are doing

to stop these.

The sun is coming up

behind me, clear skies. The

authorities in those alpine resorts

will be happy to see that because

they have had three metres, if you

can imagine, ten feet of fresh snow

on Saturday, Sunday into Monday.

Roads closed, rail lines closed, ski

slopes closed which is not great for

those on the winter sports holidays.

Now things are looking a lot better

but that is because of some very,

very intense work to control the

risk of avalanche and make sure that

when people do go out on the slopes,

for they do go out of their chalets,

they are actually safe.

100 years ago, Zermatt was cut off

every winter, all winter.

To keep this resort accessible

and above all safe today requires

some behind-the-scenes

very high technology.

The mountainsides are

monitored and risk-mapped.

Zermatt is protected by over

60 avalanche towers.

Each avalanche tower consists

of a metallic tower installed

in the avalanche starting zone

and there is a deployment box placed

on that tower.

In there, there are 12 explosive

charges, an electronic controls,

solar panels to supply

the system with power.

The towers are best

seen from the air.

When monitors detect a snow

build-up, the explosives

are detonated remotely

from down in the valley.

The air burst creates

a controlled snow slide.

Exploding towers on every

mountainside may sound alarming

but today, although more people

are coming to the Alps,

there are fewer avalanche victims.

33 years ago, 11 people

died in an avalanche

on the road to Zermatt.

Such accidents should

now be prevented.

TRANSLATION:

Nowadays

with new technology we can guarantee

to a very large extent

people are safe.

The accidents we used to have

won't happen but of course,

there is no such

thing as 100% safety.

Alpine road and rail lines do

still sometimes close,

but for shorter periods.

Winter visitors may occasionally

suffer a little delay but whenever

they arrive, the view

is certainly worth it.

Well, the view will be worth it in

Zermatt today in the ski slopes will

be open. It looks as if the rail

line will be reopened as well.

Interesting fact, those avalanche

towers, they have 12 charges in each

of them which should last season.

Some of them are already empty. That

is the scale of the snow and the

scale of the avalanche control that

is going on in the Swiss outs.

is going on in the Swiss outs.

A

rather lovely day there at the

moment. Pictures from the National

television awards last night. A
