0:01:18 > 0:01:20Three million people fall victim to scams,

0:01:20 > 0:01:22tricked out of millions of pounds a year.

0:01:22 > 0:01:26So there's a new scheme launched today to warn people of the dangers

0:01:26 > 0:01:27and how to spot dodgy deals.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30I'll look at how it works.

0:01:36 > 0:01:39I'm still standing after all this time...

0:01:39 > 0:01:43A long goodbye from Sir Elton John as he announces an end to touring

0:01:43 > 0:01:44after 300 more concerts.

0:01:44 > 0:01:46And Matt has the weather

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Good morning. Nowhere near as work and indie out there this morning but

0:01:50 > 0:01:54cooler, most start dry but showers developing later. Details on that

0:01:54 > 0:01:59and your full weekend forecast coming up.Thanks, Matt, see you

0:01:59 > 0:01:59later.

0:01:59 > 0:02:00Good morning.

0:02:00 > 0:02:01First our main story:

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Theresa May will use a speech at the World Economic Forum

0:02:04 > 0:02:06in Switzerland to put more pressure on technology companies

0:02:06 > 0:02:09like Facebook and Twitter to tackle extremist material online.

0:02:09 > 0:02:12She'll be speaking in Davos just hours before she sits down

0:02:12 > 0:02:14with US President Donald Trump, their first meeting since

0:02:14 > 0:02:16she criticised him for sharing racist videos tweeted

0:02:16 > 0:02:18by the far-right group, Britain First.

0:02:18 > 0:02:24Our business correspondent Sally Bundock is in Davos.

0:02:24 > 0:02:28Good morning, Sally, good to see you. Any details on what Theresa May

0:02:28 > 0:02:32is going to say today?

0:02:32 > 0:02:37We do. She's going to stay right on message and she's got quite an

0:02:37 > 0:02:41audience here at the World Economic Forum this year because not only are

0:02:41 > 0:02:46there more heads of state than for many years, also US President Donald

0:02:46 > 0:02:52Trump arriving in a few hours, but the bosses of some of the top tech

0:02:52 > 0:02:58companies in the world. The boss of Microsoft, Alibaba, Google, but also

0:02:58 > 0:03:02Sheryl Sandberg, the chief operating officer of Facebook, so what she's

0:03:02 > 0:03:09going to say is they need to do more to get rid of extremist material on

0:03:09 > 0:03:13their platforms, like hate speech, sexual harassment, fake news,

0:03:13 > 0:03:16anything to do with child pornography. They need to be much

0:03:16 > 0:03:21more proactive but all so she's very aware of her audience here. 3000

0:03:21 > 0:03:27delegates, billionaire businessmen and women, who invest, and their

0:03:27 > 0:03:30decisions on investment make a difference and she's appealing to

0:03:30 > 0:03:35them as investors and shareholders to think about the social impact of

0:03:35 > 0:03:39the companies that they invest in and she's basically saying as

0:03:39 > 0:03:43shareholders you can use your implements to ensure these issues

0:03:43 > 0:03:48are taken seriously.Of course that's the business end of it but

0:03:48 > 0:03:53there's also the political end and we keep a very close eye on the

0:03:53 > 0:03:56relationship she has with Donald Trump, who is also making an

0:03:56 > 0:04:01appearance in Davos?Yes indeed, they are going to meet, there is

0:04:01 > 0:04:05expected to have a meeting today, he's going to be delivering this

0:04:05 > 0:04:10speech to the delegates here tomorrow but today this agenda is

0:04:10 > 0:04:13very much about the meetings with various world leaders and Theresa

0:04:13 > 0:04:20May is one of those. They are said to be discussing important

0:04:20 > 0:04:24geopolitical issues like North Korea, like the situation with Iran

0:04:24 > 0:04:29and its nuclear programme, and the lifting of sanctions. Of course

0:04:29 > 0:04:33Donald Trump has been pretty vocal about this thoughts on that, the

0:04:33 > 0:04:37deal brokered with this predecessor, President Barack Obama, and also

0:04:37 > 0:04:42there going to discuss terrorism, the so-called Islamic State and what

0:04:42 > 0:04:48its activities have been and the issue of the worry about terrorism

0:04:48 > 0:04:53and the threat to the United States and of course to Great Britain. It's

0:04:53 > 0:04:57very much a geopolitical agenda but I would imagine as well of course

0:04:57 > 0:05:02Theresa May has got her message that Britain is open for business and of

0:05:02 > 0:05:06course Donald Trump's message is America first, so they may even

0:05:06 > 0:05:12discuss trade as well. A lot on the agenda here at the World Economic

0:05:12 > 0:05:17Forum. It's going to be a busy day. Back to you both.Enjoy it, Sally,

0:05:17 > 0:05:22keep warm. Sally Bundock there.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25The Education Minister Nadhim Zahawi has been summoned by the Government

0:05:25 > 0:05:27chief whip to explain his version of events

0:05:27 > 0:05:29at a men-only charity dinner.

0:05:29 > 0:05:31Mr Zahawi attended The Presidents Club's function

0:05:31 > 0:05:33at the Dorchester Hotel, where women employed as hostesses

0:05:33 > 0:05:34say they were groped.

0:05:34 > 0:05:36The minister said he felt uncomfortable and left

0:05:36 > 0:05:37the event early.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42Alexandra Mackenzie reports.

0:05:42 > 0:05:46The annual Presidents cloud charity dinner for men only at the

0:05:46 > 0:05:51Dorchester hotel. Women were hired as table hostesses. There were

0:05:51 > 0:05:57claims they were groped, they were made to were revealing outfits and

0:05:57 > 0:06:02specific underwear and their phones were confiscated. One of those

0:06:02 > 0:06:05summoned to explain his attendance was Education Minister Nadhim

0:06:05 > 0:06:09Zahawi. He was called in to see the Chief Whip. On social media, Mr

0:06:09 > 0:06:19World Economic -- Mr Zahawi said:

0:06:21 > 0:06:25He didn't say long, he went home shortly after the hostesses were

0:06:25 > 0:06:33announced by the presenter and paraded around the room.I think

0:06:33 > 0:06:37that indicates to me that he was shocked by the events, didn't like

0:06:37 > 0:06:41the culture, the atmosphere and left.

0:06:41 > 0:06:45The president's club, which said it was appalled by the allegations

0:06:45 > 0:06:49surrounding the event last week, said it would distribute remaining

0:06:49 > 0:06:53funds to children's charities before shutting down in the wake of the

0:06:53 > 0:06:58scandal. Alexandra Mackenzie, BBC News.

0:06:58 > 0:07:01Kyle Edmund will try to extend his remarkable Australian Open run

0:07:01 > 0:07:02on

0:07:02 > 0:07:05and reach his first Grand Slam final when he takes

0:07:05 > 0:07:06on Marin Cilic this morning.

0:07:06 > 0:07:08Victory would mean that the 23-year-old replace

0:07:08 > 0:07:09Andy Murray as British number one.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14Our Australia correspondent Hywel Griffith is live in Melbourne

0:07:14 > 0:07:19Good morning. This is a great day for British tennis no matter what

0:07:19 > 0:07:27happens in the next few hours? Absolutely. Are doubly nothing to

0:07:27 > 0:07:30lose. Another hot day in Melbourne in what's been a punishing

0:07:30 > 0:07:35tournament so far for the big names, Nadal has gone home, Djokovic too,

0:07:35 > 0:07:40Andy Murray didn't even get to Melbourne, all of that has opened up

0:07:40 > 0:07:45an opportunity for Kyle Edmund. He arrived unseeded, unfancied, but now

0:07:45 > 0:07:51he is one game away from a grand slam final.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Under Melbourne's sweltering sun, plenty would feel the pressure. This

0:07:55 > 0:07:59is tennis's biggest stage where reputations are made. If Kyle Edmund

0:07:59 > 0:08:04is feeling the pressure, he's not letting it showed. Last night was

0:08:04 > 0:08:09spent relaxing with friends.He's in a really good place, had dinner with

0:08:09 > 0:08:13him last night, he's happy, he's laughing, he should be, he's in the

0:08:13 > 0:08:16semi-final of a slam and he's playing great tennis and a lot of

0:08:16 > 0:08:20the tennis world now talking about him. He's going to believe he's

0:08:20 > 0:08:23arrived on that stage and belongs there and I think the rest of the

0:08:23 > 0:08:27tour will realise he's going to be tough to beat moving forward.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32That is, after knocking out some of the game. His victory over world

0:08:32 > 0:08:36number three Grigor Dimitrov showed he could match an aggressive style

0:08:36 > 0:08:41with mature mental strength. Now he faces the world number six. There

0:08:41 > 0:08:46will be plenty of British tennis fans cheering him on, thirsty for a

0:08:46 > 0:08:50new six story.It's amazing, it's amazing, the biggest stage of his

0:08:50 > 0:08:54life, we are all behind him.We are surprised but we're happy he's here.

0:08:54 > 0:08:59It's going to be fantastic, think he will deliver pride back to the

0:08:59 > 0:09:04British I think. Win today and Kyle Edmund will be in

0:09:04 > 0:09:09a grand slam final. All he needs to do is keep cool and carry on.

0:09:09 > 0:09:13This will be Kyle Edmund's biggest game ever but the team around tell

0:09:13 > 0:09:16me he's ready, they've noticed something different in him, a bit of

0:09:16 > 0:09:21steely determination in the eyes and someone who can enjoy himself on the

0:09:21 > 0:09:24big stage, maybe all those years in Andy Murray's shadow actually help.

0:09:24 > 0:09:30He's ready, the crowd here is building, we will see in a few hours

0:09:30 > 0:09:32how he fared is. We will keep you up-to-date with

0:09:32 > 0:09:41what happens through the morning. -- how he fared is.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44A judge in California has barred a mother and father

0:09:44 > 0:09:47accused of the imprisonment and torture of their 13 sons

0:09:47 > 0:09:49and daughters from having any contact with them.

0:09:49 > 0:09:51David and Louise Turpin appeared in court to

0:09:51 > 0:09:52deny the charges.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55The siblings will now be separated, with the adult children living

0:09:55 > 0:09:57in one location and the six youngsters divided between

0:09:57 > 0:09:58two foster homes.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01Scientist says making one cigarette a day is much more dangerous than

0:10:01 > 0:10:05previously thought. Researchers at University College London said

0:10:05 > 0:10:10smoking one a day can lead to a higher risk of heart attack and

0:10:10 > 0:10:12stroke. They say people should give up rather than cut down.

0:10:12 > 0:10:16Plans to set up tens of thousands of free water refill points

0:10:16 > 0:10:17across England are being announced today.

0:10:17 > 0:10:20Water UK, which represents water companies and suppliers,

0:10:20 > 0:10:23says it wants to expand a refill scheme first launched in 2015.

0:10:23 > 0:10:26It hopes this will help reduce pollution caused by plastic bottles

0:10:26 > 0:10:30being thrown away.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35I actually know where the spots are where I can refill my water bottle

0:10:35 > 0:10:39so I would not necessarily need it. That would be really good, that

0:10:39 > 0:10:44would be ace, definitely.Not a bad idea. I think the biggest waste is

0:10:44 > 0:10:47plastic bottles and coffee cups, isn't it?I don't know if all

0:10:47 > 0:10:51companies will be happy doing that, but it's an amazing idea.

0:10:51 > 0:10:53Sir Elton John has announced a farewell tour.

0:10:53 > 0:10:56He says he wants to stop touring to spend more time

0:10:56 > 0:10:58with his young children, but only after a three-year

0:10:58 > 0:11:06extravaganza featuring 300 gigs around the globe.

0:11:07 > 0:11:11I've been travelling since I was 17 in the back of a van

0:11:11 > 0:11:12up and down the M1.

0:11:12 > 0:11:15Although I travel in the most fantastic way, it's exhausting

0:11:15 > 0:11:16and I don't enjoy it.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18It's a long goodbye. It's a long goodbye.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Three years, 300 shows but I'm really, really looking forward to it

0:11:22 > 0:11:25and they will be happy shows, I won't regret it and I just

0:11:25 > 0:11:33want to give my fans the best farewell possible.

0:11:33 > 0:11:37They will be happy shows, he's definitely going to go out with a

0:11:37 > 0:11:39bang.

0:11:39 > 0:11:43Such an exciting morning in the sport and the timing of the match,

0:11:43 > 0:11:488:30 a.m., no excuse unless you have a real job! No excuse not to follow

0:11:48 > 0:11:53it.Who would have thought he would have got here, there were mumblings.

0:11:53 > 0:11:56He is the British number two, a Davis Cup winner, but he's always

0:11:56 > 0:12:01been in the shadow of Andy Murray, so much so that he was Murray's

0:12:01 > 0:12:07hitting partner in Miami when he was doing warm weather training, they

0:12:07 > 0:12:11are good friends and they won the Davis Cup together but this year

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Andy said to him you need to have your own setup, it is time for you

0:12:15 > 0:12:22to start censoring your training around you. So he built up a new

0:12:22 > 0:12:26base in the Bahamas, the Lleyton Hewitt academy is there, he was

0:12:26 > 0:12:31training there, and he took out a couple of British juniors himself so

0:12:31 > 0:12:35he is in charge of what he's doing and it's all centred around him and

0:12:35 > 0:12:39you can see the rewards and the change in that setup and one of his

0:12:39 > 0:12:43coaches said he always had the goods but he used a golfing analogy, he

0:12:43 > 0:12:46was always using a driver on the putting green, it's knowing how to

0:12:46 > 0:12:49use what and when.

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Let's have a look at the moment Kedders,

0:12:52 > 0:12:56as his friends know him as, knew he was in the semi-final.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58The British number two beat the third seed Grigor Dimitrov

0:12:58 > 0:12:59in the quarterfinal.

0:12:59 > 0:13:01Tim Henman in the crowd there.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04Kyle has been video messaging his family in Yorkshire every day,

0:13:04 > 0:13:07they're planning to go out if he reaches the final.

0:13:07 > 0:13:11The semi-final action has already started in Australia. Simona Halep

0:13:11 > 0:13:15is a setup against Angelique Kerber. Caroline Wozniak has already made it

0:13:15 > 0:13:20through to her third major final and if Kerber wins, Wozniak will

0:13:20 > 0:13:25overtake Halep as the new world number one.

0:13:25 > 0:13:26Arsenal will play Manchester City

0:13:26 > 0:13:28in the final of the League Cup next month.

0:13:28 > 0:13:32They came from behind to beat Chelsea 2-1 in the second leg.

0:13:32 > 0:13:33Granit Xhaka scoring the decisive goal.

0:13:33 > 0:13:37The FA say it won't be charging the new England womens head coach

0:13:37 > 0:13:39Phil Neville over past comments he's made on social media.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43There had already been controversy over his appointment due to his lack

0:13:43 > 0:13:51of both management experience and involvement in the womens game.

0:13:53 > 0:13:59We are looking forward to it. We will be looking at this story. There

0:13:59 > 0:14:03was the young table tennis girl that we interviewed yesterday.Really

0:14:03 > 0:14:08eloquent for an 11-year-old!She was used to the limelight. The inside

0:18:01 > 0:18:06picture.

0:18:08 > 0:18:11picture. This is Zong Zong and Hua Hua. They are genetically identical

0:18:11 > 0:18:16and were successfully cloned in China by a scientist. To see how big

0:18:16 > 0:18:23they are, this is a tennis ball. They are tiny.Just one more thing

0:18:23 > 0:18:29on the Presidents Club. That story is having many repercussions.It is

0:18:29 > 0:18:34interesting. City and culture has been caught up. Many will say that

0:18:34 > 0:18:43is of an era now gone. It is

0:18:43 > 0:18:45is of an era now gone. It is not the All Boy's Club of the past. But

0:18:45 > 0:18:52there are clearly places where that happens still. Is where the jobs

0:18:52 > 0:18:58figures yesterday. Firms struggling to fill 810,000 job vacancies. That

0:18:58 > 0:19:04is because the number of people in employment yesterday rose to its

0:19:04 > 0:19:08highest level, 32.2 million, the total number of people in

0:19:08 > 0:19:13employment. Taking the unemployment rate to a record low. The Times.

0:19:13 > 0:19:21Pricing goes into reverse, it says. Britain hits peak car. The people

0:19:21 > 0:19:29not driving falling 40%. Perhaps we are sharing cars, using public

0:19:29 > 0:19:37transport, a variety of reasons.It is too expensive.Kyle Edmund is all

0:19:37 > 0:19:41over the back pages, as you can imagine. His coach is talking about

0:19:41 > 0:19:45how he could afford a Ferrari but would not go out and get one after

0:19:45 > 0:19:51this match. Andy Murray memorably treated himself to a red Ferrari and

0:19:51 > 0:19:55quickly sold it in a few months saying when he got out of it he felt

0:19:55 > 0:20:03like an idiot. Actually, Kyle Edmund is a huge Formula 1 fan and wanted

0:20:03 > 0:20:10to do that is not tennis. The top five tips to beat Marin Cilic, using

0:20:10 > 0:20:14the forehand, the top five in the world. Revel in the atmosphere,

0:20:14 > 0:20:18nothing to lose and lots to gain. And remember that the underdog can

0:20:18 > 0:20:25win. And the Leeds United badge. Yesterday, the club showed off their

0:20:25 > 0:20:30new badge, but within hours, 60,000 signatures saying it has to be

0:20:30 > 0:20:37changed. Many people saying it looks like a famous indigestion logo.

0:20:37 > 0:20:43Thank you so much.Very funny, nevertheless. Thank you.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46Knife crime is at its highest level in England and Wales for six years.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48There were almost 37,000 offences last year.

0:20:48 > 0:20:51So, what can be done to tackle the problem?

0:20:51 > 0:20:54In Scotland, violent crime is treated as a public health

0:20:54 > 0:20:56problem, a disease to be cured, with long-term plans

0:20:56 > 0:20:59to tackle its causes, and it seems to be working.

0:20:59 > 0:21:07Breakfast's John Maguire is in Glasgow this morning.

0:21:08 > 0:21:15Good morning. The sandwiches are ready. Tell us what is going on in

0:21:15 > 0:21:20terms of knife crime in Glasgow. Good morning. The kitchen is in full

0:21:20 > 0:21:25swing already this morning. It is quite right to say they have

0:21:25 > 0:21:31experienced a great improvement in knife crime. Glasgow, where we are,

0:21:31 > 0:21:34was one of the most violent cities in Europe. It still has problems, of

0:21:34 > 0:21:39course, but nothing similar to what was. Look at some of the wonderful

0:21:39 > 0:21:44things they are cooking to sell to the public at this cafe. Mango

0:21:44 > 0:21:51chutney! This is a trendy caravan built in California in the 70s.

0:21:51 > 0:22:01These people are ex-offenders. They are trained in what to do. Look at

0:22:01 > 0:22:07some of the food they are cooking. A sausage, a square sausage, black

0:22:07 > 0:22:15pudding. Lots of wonderful fare. What are they doing so well here?

0:22:15 > 0:22:20Can the model be copiedis, especially in London. I went to find

0:22:20 > 0:22:24out what is happening.

0:22:24 > 0:22:29Shot twice before he was 21, this former gang member says he is lucky

0:22:29 > 0:22:37to be alive.When I was younger, I was smoking weed and staying on the

0:22:37 > 0:22:40street and not doing anything positive.And the reason he is here

0:22:40 > 0:22:44today to tell his story, while in hospital for the second shooting, he

0:22:44 > 0:22:48met a youth worker who helped him to see another way.I was in hospital,

0:22:48 > 0:22:53you know? I do not want to speak to the police. The charity approached

0:22:53 > 0:22:57me and made me feel I could trust them and talk about anything. I

0:22:57 > 0:23:02never had that before. When I was 16, I got shot. No one came to me in

0:23:02 > 0:23:07hospital. Later, thank God, someone said let's change the situation and

0:23:07 > 0:23:12put you on the street road. We are here to help.St Mary's Hospital in

0:23:12 > 0:23:17Paddington is one of London's four major trauma centres. Besides the

0:23:17 > 0:23:22winter pressures of all emergency departments, here, they also deal

0:23:22 > 0:23:27with the brutal consequences of gang violence.The big thing we do see is

0:23:27 > 0:23:30a lot of stabbings. We have also been getting a lot of shootings.

0:23:30 > 0:23:34Trauma numbers in general have been going up year on year, which is

0:23:34 > 0:23:41reflected in all of the trauma centres.But over the past three

0:23:41 > 0:23:45years, they have had youth workers from the charity alongside the

0:23:45 > 0:23:50workers and nurses here, and they say it is making a difference.The

0:23:50 > 0:23:55youth workers we have here help the young people coming to hospital, and

0:23:55 > 0:24:00it is about trying to get them out of that cycle of violence, break

0:24:00 > 0:24:03them out and give them help and get them in the right direction.It

0:24:03 > 0:24:09remains, though, a major problem. The latest crime figures for England

0:24:09 > 0:24:12and Wales are published later this morning. The most recent showed 1.2

0:24:12 > 0:24:17million violent incidents. Among those, almost 37,000 knife attacks,

0:24:17 > 0:24:25the highest since 2011, and a 26% increase on the previous year. And

0:24:25 > 0:24:31behind every single number is an attacker and a victim. He knows he

0:24:31 > 0:24:41cheated death, twice! But others will not be so fortunate.

0:24:41 > 0:24:50So, how do you keep people out of trouble? We have some guests from

0:24:50 > 0:24:53the violence reduction unit. How does it work and tell it primarily

0:24:53 > 0:24:57through people. We have people who want to change their life. They have

0:24:57 > 0:25:01had significant challenges and have been insignificant trouble through

0:25:01 > 0:25:06the early part of their life.We offer them an opportunity to move on

0:25:06 > 0:25:11and make changes, not just for themselves, but their families. It

0:25:11 > 0:25:17works because we offer them chances, and support, which is the most

0:25:17 > 0:25:21important thing is to be change is not easy and needs support.We were

0:25:21 > 0:25:28talking for. You used an interesting phrase, care, not scare.We try to

0:25:28 > 0:25:35get people to change. We try to support individuals, many have not

0:25:35 > 0:25:41had support before. It is important to get that support.And you are

0:25:41 > 0:25:48expanding, right?There is a lot of demand. We want to scale up. That is

0:25:48 > 0:25:57the mission.Thank you so much. Look at these people. Callum

0:25:59 > 0:26:02at these people. Callum is chopping vegetables for a sandwich. We might

0:26:02 > 0:26:06get some more light later on. We will talk about the fascinating

0:26:06 > 0:26:09scheme. People are making a difference to everyone's lives

0:26:09 > 0:26:16across the UK.Thank you very much. This is Breakfast from BBC News.

0:26:16 > 0:26:23Plenty to come. In two hours, Kyle Edmund will become the sixth British

0:26:23 > 0:26:30man to contest a grand slam semi-final in the Open era. We are

0:26:30 > 0:26:36at his former school where it all began.Good morning. I am in

0:26:36 > 0:26:41Yorkshire trying to avoid getting hit by these children. They are up

0:26:41 > 0:26:46early in the morning and are excited because Kyle Edmund will be in

0:26:46 > 0:26:53action soon. It is building. People are getting excited. This is where

0:26:53 > 0:26:57it all began to be this sports hall was once the train station for the

0:26:57 > 0:27:04local area. Kyle Edmund was always sporty. He used to swim and played

0:27:04 > 0:27:11cricket. He still has records here. And he was just this size. These

0:27:11 > 0:27:16children are getting excited. Give us a wave. Good morning.Good

0:27:16 > 0:27:23morning.It is starting to build. The excitement is fantastic. These

0:27:23 > 0:27:30are the people who are getting very excited, and we will be watching in

0:31:13 > 0:31:17A new scheme is hoping we will do just that to help the environment.

0:31:17 > 0:31:18Also this morning:

0:31:18 > 0:31:20They are the extreme athletes

0:31:20 > 0:31:23of the animal kingdom but when it comes to hunting prey,

0:31:23 > 0:31:31being the fastest is not necessarily best.

0:31:40 > 0:31:43Elton John says he'll quit touring to spend more time

0:31:43 > 0:31:46with his children.

0:31:46 > 0:31:49Good morning, here's a summary of today's main

0:31:49 > 0:31:50stories from BBC News:

0:31:50 > 0:31:53Theresa May will use a speech at the World Economic Forum

0:31:53 > 0:31:55in Switzerland to put more pressure on technology companies

0:31:55 > 0:31:58like Facebook and Twitter to tackle extremist material online.

0:31:58 > 0:32:01She'll be speaking in Davos just hours before she sits down

0:32:01 > 0:32:03with US President Donald Trump, their first meeting since

0:32:03 > 0:32:05she criticised him for sharing racist videos tweeted

0:32:05 > 0:32:10by the far-right group, Britain First.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13The Education Minister Nadhim Zahawi has been summoned by the Government

0:32:13 > 0:32:16Chief Whip to explain his version of events

0:32:16 > 0:32:21at a men-only charity dinner.

0:32:21 > 0:32:23Mr Zahawi attended The Presidents Club's function

0:32:23 > 0:32:25at the Dorchester Hotel, where women employed as hostesses

0:32:25 > 0:32:26say they were groped.

0:32:26 > 0:32:29The minister said he felt uncomfortable and left

0:32:29 > 0:32:33the event early.

0:32:33 > 0:32:37the Charity commission said it is investigating the allegations as a

0:32:37 > 0:32:39matter of urgency.

0:32:39 > 0:32:42A judge in California has barred a mother and father accused

0:32:42 > 0:32:45of the imprisonment and torture of their 13 sons and daughters

0:32:45 > 0:32:47from having any contact with them.

0:32:47 > 0:32:50David and Louise Turpin appeared in court to deny the charges.

0:32:50 > 0:32:53The siblings will now be separated, with the adult children living

0:32:53 > 0:32:55in one location and the six youngsters divided between

0:32:55 > 0:33:00two foster homes.

0:33:00 > 0:33:03Scientist say smoking one cigarette a day is much more dangerous

0:33:03 > 0:33:06than previously thought.

0:33:06 > 0:33:14Researchers at University College London said low levels can

0:33:15 > 0:33:18alter the way the heart, lungs and vessels work,

0:33:18 > 0:33:20leading to a higher risk of heart attack and stroke.

0:33:20 > 0:33:23They say people should give up rather than cut down.

0:33:23 > 0:33:26Plans to set up tens of thousands of free water refill points

0:33:26 > 0:33:28across England are being announced today.

0:33:28 > 0:33:30Water UK, which represents water companies and suppliers,

0:33:30 > 0:33:33says it wants to expand a refill scheme first launched in 2015.

0:33:33 > 0:33:36It hopes this will help reduce pollution caused by plastic bottles

0:33:36 > 0:33:37being thrown away.

0:33:37 > 0:33:41There's been controversy at this year's camel beauty contest

0:33:41 > 0:33:44in Saudi Arabia.

0:33:44 > 0:33:48Yes, I did say the camel beauty contest!

0:33:48 > 0:33:49A dozen animals have been banned

0:33:49 > 0:33:52because their handlers used Botox to make them more handsome!

0:33:52 > 0:33:56It's that age-old problem, isn't it?

0:33:56 > 0:33:59The annual contest sees judges rate the size of the camels'

0:33:59 > 0:34:00lips, cheeks, heads and knees.

0:34:00 > 0:34:05It's no surprise there's a temptation to cheat.

0:34:05 > 0:34:08The races and competitions have a combined prize fund

0:34:08 > 0:34:13of £40 million.

0:34:13 > 0:34:19Who's a pretty camel!How would you know?The age-old trick is whether

0:34:19 > 0:34:24or not their lips are moving freely. If people have Botox there is no

0:34:24 > 0:34:31movement up there.And they act well in a movie!Good morning, Sonali, it

0:34:31 > 0:34:36is all just fixed expressions! To me the interesting bit was in the

0:34:36 > 0:34:40knees, didn't know you could Botox your knees.To make them look less

0:34:40 > 0:34:47wrinkly? Actors do it, don't they? Botox in the knees?I think you can

0:34:47 > 0:34:53have it to stop the knobbly knees. Certain things a Jew, your hands

0:34:53 > 0:34:58always show your age even if your face doesn't, -- certain things age

0:34:58 > 0:35:05you.If you're doing a lot of knee shots then you want to look young. I

0:35:05 > 0:35:12didn't know that! What have we got, two hours until the big-game?Until

0:35:12 > 0:35:17Andy Murray... Andy Murray! Even I'm thinking of Andy Murray!Automatic,

0:35:17 > 0:35:23isn't it?Kyle Edmund. I am used to years of saying Andy Murray and now

0:35:23 > 0:35:28Kyle Edmund has come in.He will love the fact people are now talking

0:35:28 > 0:35:32about him in the same way.He says he knows what it feels like to be

0:35:32 > 0:35:36Andy Murray with all the attention, I hope he enjoys it and I hope it

0:35:36 > 0:35:41hasn't taken out too much energy for the semi-final against Marin Cilic.

0:35:41 > 0:35:46Marin Cilic is world number six, he already beat the world number three,

0:35:46 > 0:35:50Edmund is the underdog but it isn't impossible, as we have seen this

0:35:50 > 0:35:54week and Marin Cilic has been known to have wobbles at crucial moments

0:35:54 > 0:35:59so there's certainly a chance there. This is how delighted Kyle was to

0:35:59 > 0:36:04have reached the semi-final after he beat Dimitrov in the quarter-final.

0:36:04 > 0:36:08A five-time champion in Melbourne thinks that the Britain has a

0:36:08 > 0:36:10fighting chance against Marin Cilic.

0:36:10 > 0:36:16It is two steps away, you know? A lot of stuff can happen. You play

0:36:16 > 0:36:21one good one and the other guy plays one bad one, usually there is no bad

0:36:21 > 0:36:27matches any more in semi-final plays. But it's a good situation to

0:36:27 > 0:36:32be in and he can hit freely now and no expectations whatsoever, so maybe

0:36:32 > 0:36:36he'll never be in this position ever again to have so little expectations

0:36:36 > 0:36:39in some ways.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42In the women's semi-final Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber are tied

0:36:42 > 0:36:47at 1-1 and it's into a decider.

0:36:47 > 0:36:50Caroline Wozniacki has already made it through to her third major final.

0:36:50 > 0:36:52If Kerber wins, Wozniacki will take Halep's spot

0:36:52 > 0:36:53as the world number one.

0:36:53 > 0:36:56Arsene Wenger took a big step towards winning the League Cup

0:36:56 > 0:37:00for the first time at Arsenal with a 2-1 semi-final win over

0:37:00 > 0:37:01Chelsea last night.

0:37:01 > 0:37:03The first leg ended 0-1, but Chelsea already had a goal

0:37:03 > 0:37:06disallowed by the time Eden Hazard put them ahead.

0:37:06 > 0:37:07Arsenal were soon

0:37:07 > 0:37:10back level, though, a double-deflection off

0:37:10 > 0:37:12Nacho Monreal's header made it 1-1 after only 11 minutes.

0:37:12 > 0:37:15The winner took a bit longer to arrive,

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Granit Xhaka poking it home, to send his side to Wembley

0:37:18 > 0:37:22to face Manchester City on February the 25th.

0:37:22 > 0:37:27We looked like always we could win this game. At the end I've said it

0:37:27 > 0:37:31was a little bit lucky with a deflected goal with the first and

0:37:31 > 0:37:35the second one as well was a bit lucky, but overall I felt we

0:37:35 > 0:37:39controlled well the game in the second half.

0:37:39 > 0:37:41In Scotland, Rangers jumped above Aberdeen into second

0:37:41 > 0:37:43after beating them 2-0 at Ibrox.

0:37:43 > 0:37:46But Hibs are now just five points behind both sides

0:37:46 > 0:37:47after beating Dundee away.

0:37:47 > 0:37:49John McGinn's goal was enough to seal victory.

0:37:49 > 0:37:52Hearts beat Hamilton and bottom side Ross County lost to Motherwell.

0:37:52 > 0:37:55Celtic didn't play but are still 11 points clear at the top.

0:37:55 > 0:37:57The Football Association say England Women's newly-appointed head

0:37:57 > 0:38:00coach Phil Neville won't face any disciplinary action over

0:38:00 > 0:38:01historic sexist tweets.

0:38:01 > 0:38:03Neville was announced as the Lionesses manager on Tuesday

0:38:03 > 0:38:06but posts on his social media accounts subsequently emerged of him

0:38:06 > 0:38:08apparently assuming women would be cooking breakfast instead

0:38:08 > 0:38:09of watching sport.

0:38:09 > 0:38:12His wife has been among those to defend him,

0:38:12 > 0:38:15and the Women in Football group say more attention should be paid

0:38:15 > 0:38:18instead to how the next women's coaches can be brought through.

0:38:18 > 0:38:23There are less than 10% of football coaches in England are female.

0:38:23 > 0:38:26That's a shocking start and terrible when you compare it to Germany,

0:38:26 > 0:38:30which is more like 30%. We need to make sure in four years' time we

0:38:30 > 0:38:34have an abundance of coaches, male and female, who are specialist in

0:38:34 > 0:38:38the women's game and we can really look to for that sort of strength

0:38:38 > 0:38:47and depth in talent.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50England are looking to defend their 6 Nations title for the second

0:38:50 > 0:38:53year running, the tournament starts next weekend and they face

0:38:53 > 0:38:54Italy in their opening match.

0:38:54 > 0:38:57All of the 6 Nations were in London for the tournament

0:38:57 > 0:38:58launch yesterday.

0:38:58 > 0:39:00England are favourites but Ireland and Scotland pose

0:39:00 > 0:39:01a significant threat.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04You've got some great teams in this competition, you've got island

0:39:04 > 0:39:06flying, Scotland flying, Wales have been the benchmark in European

0:39:06 > 0:39:10rugby, we know what France can do and Italy can play some

0:39:10 > 0:39:12extraordinary rugby so it's this great tournament, this intense

0:39:12 > 0:39:16competition between countries that sleep next to each other. It's

0:39:16 > 0:39:18fantastic.

0:39:18 > 0:39:22We know if we perform well we can put ourselves in a very good

0:39:22 > 0:39:25position, but we also aren't naive enough to think other countries

0:39:25 > 0:39:29aren't thinking the same thing. A lot of the other countries in the

0:39:29 > 0:39:33Six Nations had good autumns as well and had fantastic years, years of

0:39:33 > 0:39:38success in the Six Nations, so we've just scratched the surface of that

0:39:38 > 0:39:43really.Friend of the show, John Barclay there, we spoke to him

0:39:43 > 0:39:43yesterday.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46And finally a story that's got a lot of football fans talking.

0:39:46 > 0:39:49This is the new club badge Leeds United put forward

0:39:49 > 0:39:52to their fans, it was unveiled yesterday with the club saying

0:39:52 > 0:39:53they spent six months consulting

0:39:53 > 0:39:5510,000 fans to reach the end result.

0:39:55 > 0:39:59But the reaction on social media has forced the club into a rethink.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02These were the thoughts of the Times sportswriter Henry Winter,

0:40:02 > 0:40:05and one fan on social media noticed the badge has a striking resemblance

0:40:05 > 0:40:07to a well-known indigestion treatment.

0:40:07 > 0:40:11The club now say they'll re-open the consultation process.

0:40:11 > 0:40:15It is so unfair, the number of times you see players vying for their

0:40:15 > 0:40:20country or their club do that.Be consulted the fans in a

0:40:20 > 0:40:24questionnaire and people said, do you like that salute? -- be

0:40:24 > 0:40:33consulted. -- they consulted.We look forward to the next version!I

0:40:33 > 0:40:35hope people are happy with that!

0:40:35 > 0:40:39How would you feel about walking into a shop or cafe and asking them

0:40:39 > 0:40:41to refill your water bottle for free?

0:40:41 > 0:40:42Water UK, which represents water companies

0:40:42 > 0:40:45and suppliers, is announcing plans to encourage tens of thousands

0:40:45 > 0:40:48of businesses in England to open their doors to passers-by

0:40:48 > 0:40:49who need a top up.

0:40:49 > 0:40:52They're hoping it will drastically reduce pollution caused by plastic

0:40:52 > 0:41:00bottles, as Breakfast's Tim Muffett reports.

0:41:03 > 0:41:08Across Bristol, since 2015, businesses have been inviting people

0:41:08 > 0:41:13in not to spend money but to refill water bottles for free.

0:41:13 > 0:41:17People want really practical ways of how they can stop using as much

0:41:17 > 0:41:20single use plastic in their lives and refill is a really obvious way

0:41:20 > 0:41:28of doing that.Natalie Fee set up the scheme, an app tells people were

0:41:28 > 0:41:32refills are available, as do these signs.I think it's great as a way

0:41:32 > 0:41:37of not using as much plastic. It's a nice, easy thing to do,

0:41:37 > 0:41:42increases foot fall to the cafe. There are now 200 reef all points

0:41:42 > 0:41:46across Bristol. The scheme spread to other places including Durham,

0:41:46 > 0:41:50Norwich and Brighton but it's about to get much bigger.Every water

0:41:50 > 0:41:55company by September this year is going to do to sign up more

0:41:55 > 0:41:59businesses to provide free refill points. We want tens of thousands of

0:41:59 > 0:42:04refill points by 2021, we think we can take tens of millions of plastic

0:42:04 > 0:42:09bottles out of the waste stream.So more of this, less, it is hoped, of

0:42:09 > 0:42:13this.It's just horrible down here, along the banks of the River Avon,

0:42:13 > 0:42:17and there are hundreds of plastic bottles down here, it's disgusting.

0:42:17 > 0:42:24So many of them are drinking water bottles.Your project, your

0:42:24 > 0:42:28initiative, is going to be run on a national scale, that must be very

0:42:28 > 0:42:32exciting?It is. For this to really work it needs to be on every high

0:42:32 > 0:42:35street in every shop and cafe. In the UK, we buy more than 1.7

0:42:35 > 0:42:41billion litres of plain old water every year according to the Grocer

0:42:41 > 0:42:47magazine. For the first time sales are outstripping that of Kohler, but

0:42:47 > 0:42:52soon it will be far simpler to refill a bottle with tap water, what

0:42:52 > 0:42:56effect will that have on demand for these?I don't think it's going to

0:42:56 > 0:43:02have a significant impact.This woman runs the natural hydration

0:43:02 > 0:43:08council and supported by companies that produce bottled water.Bottled

0:43:08 > 0:43:13water is different to tap water in the sense that it is naturally

0:43:13 > 0:43:16sourced, it's not chemically treated and a lot of people choose it for

0:43:16 > 0:43:21those reasons or for taste reasons. The national hydration council said

0:43:21 > 0:43:26it backs the refill steam as it wants more people to drink water,

0:43:26 > 0:43:31but it believes disposing of bottles responsibly is a bigger issue.The

0:43:31 > 0:43:35bottles themselves are 100% recyclable, the bottle, the label,

0:43:35 > 0:43:41the lead.Whether it's recyclable or not really isn't the point. Half of

0:43:41 > 0:43:44plastic bottles used in the UK aren't getting recycled and the

0:43:44 > 0:43:47majority of them are escaping the waste system and ending up in places

0:43:47 > 0:43:54like these.Ending plastic pollution will require major change. Natalie

0:43:54 > 0:43:57hopes that's one step closer. Tim Muffet, BBC News.

0:43:57 > 0:43:59Chris Sherrington is Head of Environmental Policy

0:43:59 > 0:44:02and Economics at a consultancy that helps businesses become more

0:44:02 > 0:44:04environmentally friendly.

0:44:04 > 0:44:10Good morning.Good morning.You saw in their, it's about recycling these

0:44:10 > 0:44:14plastic bottles that seems to be the major concern, that's why people are

0:44:14 > 0:44:19encouraged to use less of them, but how much environmental impact to

0:44:19 > 0:44:23plastic bottles have?Recycling bottles is the best thing we can do

0:44:23 > 0:44:27if we use them but one of the key challenges with these bottles is

0:44:27 > 0:44:31because by their very nature they are single use, we will use them,

0:44:31 > 0:44:35drink the water and throw them away so in the best case they will get

0:44:35 > 0:44:39recycled but we're not anywhere near the rate of recycling we could be

0:44:39 > 0:44:43for plastic bottles and when they're not recycled they will often end up

0:44:43 > 0:44:47in landfill or increasingly be incinerated.When you say their

0:44:47 > 0:44:52single use, is that because it's not safe to use them again or because we

0:44:52 > 0:44:56only use them once? You hear these myths that you shouldn't refill

0:44:56 > 0:45:00plastic bottles, you shouldn't keep them in the car, so people tend to

0:45:00 > 0:45:04dispose of them but do they really need to?You're pretty close to the

0:45:04 > 0:45:08truth, you say we hear these myths and I'd never heard any scientific

0:45:08 > 0:45:14evidence you shouldn't refill a normal single use water bottle and

0:45:14 > 0:45:21most are used and then we get rid of them.One of the principles in this

0:45:21 > 0:45:26is Corp, it's one of the heart of the issues, would you walk into a

0:45:26 > 0:45:29restaurant or a shop or a cafe with your empty bottle and say, fill it

0:45:29 > 0:45:38up, how are they going to react? It's quite a big cultural shift.

0:45:38 > 0:45:43We want to change the social norm. For many years, I have gone into

0:45:43 > 0:45:47places and asked them to refill a bottle to see what their reaction

0:45:47 > 0:45:53would be.What was it?Fairly positive.And when it is not?There

0:45:53 > 0:45:59is a bit of discussion about offering to pay for it. I think

0:45:59 > 0:46:06having the refill scheme says this is OK, this is normal, it is

0:46:06 > 0:46:11acceptable.Many people will be interested. Will you come back to us

0:46:11 > 0:46:21later on?Yeah.If you have thoughts on that issue, let us know. On

0:46:21 > 0:46:26Twitter, this woman says they used to be water fountains in parks.

0:46:26 > 0:46:33Reintroduce them? Is it weather to go through the park?Certainly is

0:46:33 > 0:46:34Reintroduce them? Is it weather to go through the park?Certainly is an

0:46:49 > 0:47:01yesterday. Mile air and snowmelt has set rivers rising.

0:47:02 > 0:47:05set rivers rising. The Mild air has gone off to the near continent, but

0:47:05 > 0:47:09further snowmelt soon. The storm from yesterday has gone to northern

0:47:09 > 0:47:15Europe.

0:47:15 > 0:47:17Europe. Cooler weather in between today and tomorrow. Chillier than

0:47:17 > 0:47:24yesterday. A scattering of showers. Many places starting dry. Parts of

0:47:24 > 0:47:28central Scotland and Glasgow and Edinburgh, you may get away with a

0:47:28 > 0:47:34dry day by and large. A few showers across the bulk of England. The west

0:47:34 > 0:47:41of Wales, south-west England, frequent showers in the next few

0:47:41 > 0:47:45hours. A few in Kent and Sussex. Parts of East Anglia, the

0:47:45 > 0:47:51south-east, south-east Midlands, largely dry. A few showers in

0:47:51 > 0:47:54western areas. Longer spells of rain in southern Scotland and the

0:47:54 > 0:48:01south-west of Wales. The wind will be a bit lost three, driving showers

0:48:06 > 0:48:12should be. A cool day. Tonight, a few showers around. By the end of

0:48:12 > 0:48:18the night, showers largely confined to eastern England and eastern

0:48:18 > 0:48:23Scotland. Most other areas in the west, dry and clear. That will lead

0:48:23 > 0:48:32to a frosty night tonight. Friday does not look bad. Some showers for

0:48:32 > 0:48:38commuters. Most will have a dry day with sunny spells. Temperatures,

0:48:38 > 0:48:45similar to today. Not feeling bad at all. As I said, more cloud for the

0:48:45 > 0:48:49weekend. Weather fronts gathering in the west will work their way in on

0:48:49 > 0:48:54Saturday. Brightness in the eastern half of England. Overall, a cloudy

0:48:54 > 0:48:59day on Saturday. Outbreaks of rain from the west quite quickly. Some

0:48:59 > 0:49:05will be heavy. Severe gales in Scotland expected. Breezy elsewhere.

0:49:05 > 0:49:15That is, from the south-west for Sunday. Dragging

0:49:33 > 0:49:35Around three million people fall victim to scams every year,

0:49:35 > 0:49:36costing millions of pounds.

0:49:36 > 0:49:40So Ben's looking at a new scheme to help spot the scammers.

0:49:40 > 0:49:41Yes, the numbers are staggering.

0:49:41 > 0:49:43Millions of people fall victim to scams every year.

0:49:43 > 0:49:44Sankey. Good morning.

0:49:44 > 0:49:48The cost to consumers as a result of these scams is estimated to be

0:49:48 > 0:49:50between £5 and £10 billion a year.

0:49:50 > 0:49:53That's a broad range, but there's a good reason for that.

0:49:53 > 0:49:55Only 5% of scams get reported to the authorities,

0:49:55 > 0:50:00like the police or Trading Standards.

0:50:00 > 0:50:02This week, an initiative has been launched to raise awareness

0:50:02 > 0:50:05of the problem, and to train a million scam spotters,

0:50:05 > 0:50:11or "Friends Against Scams," by 2020.

0:50:11 > 0:50:13Neil Masters is from National Trading Standards.

0:50:13 > 0:50:16He's heading up the scheme.

0:50:16 > 0:50:23Good morning.Good morning.What are we talking about? What is a scam?

0:50:23 > 0:50:30Fraud. That is the crime. The kinds of crimes we see with Trading

0:50:30 > 0:50:36Standards, rogue traders knocking on your door saying you have something

0:50:36 > 0:50:47missing and they escalate the crisis.

0:50:47 > 0:50:51crisis. And even on line lotteries saying you won but never entered.

0:50:51 > 0:51:00People saying they can get in touch with loved ones.People will feel a

0:51:00 > 0:51:03little bit stupid if they fall victim to it. That is why many

0:51:03 > 0:51:11crimes are not reported.Yes, people do, unnecessarily. They feel they

0:51:11 > 0:51:18cannot come forward. That is completely false. There are a number

0:51:18 > 0:51:31of organisations like the consumer helpline and Victim Support, AIDUK,

0:51:31 > 0:51:34they are there to help those victims. People should not feel

0:51:34 > 0:51:38embarrassed. They are not stupid. There is no shame in saying I fell

0:51:38 > 0:51:45victim, even if it was my own fault. There is help available.There is

0:51:45 > 0:51:50always help available through these organisations. They are there to

0:51:50 > 0:51:53support and not judge.You are launching a scheme today which is

0:51:53 > 0:51:57crucial because it is trying to train people to spot these things

0:51:57 > 0:52:01before they happen. It is one thing to deal with it once it has

0:52:01 > 0:52:06happened, but you want toit in the first base.We believe the way to

0:52:06 > 0:52:12protect people is to introduce Friends Against Scams to stop it

0:52:12 > 0:52:19before it happens. We have recruited 30,000 people from the public, some

0:52:19 > 0:52:31of which have been victims of fraud themselves.

0:52:31 > 0:52:33themselves. They spread counter-fraud messages in the

0:52:33 > 0:52:36community and encourage reporting to police. They help to identify

0:52:36 > 0:52:40victims in communities so we can give them support.Top tips? What

0:52:40 > 0:52:45should be your first port of call if you fall victim? What will make more

0:52:45 > 0:52:58people report these?The first port of call

0:53:04 > 0:53:06of call should be Action Fraud, the national reporting centre for fraud

0:53:06 > 0:53:10run by the City of London Police. They have a phone number and a

0:53:10 > 0:53:16website. Also, if

0:53:20 > 0:53:22website. Also, if you feel too embarassed, Victim Support and other

0:53:22 > 0:53:25organisations will help you report without judgement.Thank you for

0:53:25 > 0:53:32explaining. We will put the contact details, especially for the website,

0:53:32 > 0:53:38on our social media page. We will have results from Sky as well soon.

0:53:38 > 0:53:39Thank you so much.

0:53:39 > 0:53:42The countdown to the men's Australian Open semi-final has well

0:53:42 > 0:53:43and truly begun.

0:53:43 > 0:53:46In just under two hours, Kyle Edmund will walk onto court.

0:53:46 > 0:53:49It's the first time he's made it so far in a Grand Slam tournament,

0:53:49 > 0:53:52and the 23-year-old is aiming to overtake Andy Murray

0:53:52 > 0:53:53as British number one.

0:53:53 > 0:53:56A proud moment, then, for family and friends back home

0:53:56 > 0:53:58in Yorkshire, and JJ Chalmers is at his old school

0:53:58 > 0:54:02in East Yorkshire for us this morning.

0:54:02 > 0:54:11I can't imagine the excitement. Surely, 830, lessons are off?For

0:54:11 > 0:54:17some of the kids, they were lucky to get time off. Kyle Edmund is

0:54:17 > 0:54:21becoming a household name across the country. But here at his old school

0:54:21 > 0:54:27in the local area, he has been a superstar for a long time. The

0:54:27 > 0:54:31children are out of the early because of the time difference. They

0:54:31 > 0:54:35are preparing and making banners and warming up themselves. We have come

0:54:35 > 0:54:42here today to find out who she is inspiring and who inspired him? --

0:54:42 > 0:54:48who he is. He was first spotted as a tennis talent at ten years old. He

0:54:48 > 0:54:53also played cricket and did swimming. We will speak to his

0:54:53 > 0:55:00teachers. What were your first memories of him?He was a lovely

0:55:00 > 0:55:06young man as a pupil, he did everything wholeheartedly.

0:55:06 > 0:55:13Especially with sports, of course. That is where he showed his talent.

0:55:13 > 0:55:18You were the man who spotted how good he was. What made him stand

0:55:18 > 0:55:25out?When he was just 11, he played at the under 12 championships. I

0:55:25 > 0:55:34invited him to play. He won that. Tremendous. These boys were a year

0:55:34 > 0:55:40older. He showed tremendous talent at that time. I thought if he chose

0:55:40 > 0:55:46tennis for his career, he could really make it.Thank you so much.

0:55:46 > 0:55:50We will talk to you later. Excitement is building here and

0:55:50 > 0:55:56across the country. The children here are

0:55:57 > 0:56:00here are making banners. Give us a cheer. CHEERING. It is not just the

0:56:00 > 0:56:07children, but adults and teachers. One last cheer. CHEERING. We hope

0:56:07 > 0:56:14you are excited as well.How could you not?If you want insight into

0:56:14 > 0:56:25what is happening,

0:56:29 > 0:56:32what is happening, Andrew Castle, and Kyle's coach as well. We will

0:56:32 > 0:56:38forgive you if you want to follow it later on. You can see that on 5Live.

0:56:38 > 0:59:59Highlights will be at five o'clock if you

0:59:59 > 1:00:02Plenty more on the website at the usual address.

1:00:02 > 1:00:02Bye for now.

1:00:34 > 1:00:35Hello, this is Breakfast,

1:00:43 > 1:00:44for the World Economic Forum.

1:00:44 > 1:00:47Theresa May will tell world leaders that leading social media

1:00:47 > 1:00:54firms must do more to remove terrorist and extremist content.

1:01:04 > 1:01:07Good morning, it's Thursday the 25th of January.

1:01:07 > 1:01:09Also this morning:

1:01:09 > 1:01:12A crucial day at the Australian Open for Britain's Kyle Edmund.

1:01:12 > 1:01:14Good morning!

1:01:14 > 1:01:19Yes, it's been quite a week for Kyle already and there are just

1:01:19 > 1:01:221.5 hours to go until the Brit begins the battle

1:01:22 > 1:01:25for a place in his first Grand Slam final.

1:01:25 > 1:01:27The semi against Marin Cilic starts at 8:30am.

1:01:27 > 1:01:30Pressure on the Education Minister, who attended a controversial

1:01:30 > 1:01:31men-only charity dinner.

1:01:31 > 1:01:34The Government Chief Whip summons him to explain his presence.

1:01:34 > 1:01:37Tens of thousands of free water-refill points will be set up

1:01:37 > 1:01:40across England in a bid cut the number of plastic bottles

1:01:40 > 1:01:46being thrown away.

1:01:46 > 1:01:52It's been a tough week for the pay-TV firm Sky after the regulator

1:01:52 > 1:01:55block its takeover, warning it wasn't in the public interest. So

1:01:55 > 1:02:02what next? We'll get its latest results in the next few minutes.

1:02:02 > 1:02:04And Matt has the weather

1:02:04 > 1:02:09After the wild and windy weather yesterday, not as wet or windy

1:02:09 > 1:02:12today, showers developing later after starting dry, details on that

1:02:12 > 1:02:17and the weekend forecast coming up.

1:02:17 > 1:02:17Good morning.

1:02:17 > 1:02:18First our main story:

1:02:18 > 1:02:21Theresa May will use a speech at the World Economic Forum

1:02:21 > 1:02:24in Switzerland to put more pressure on technology companies

1:02:24 > 1:02:26like Facebook and Twitter to tackle extremist material online.

1:02:26 > 1:02:29She'll be speaking in Davos just hours before she sits down

1:02:29 > 1:02:32with US President Donald Trump, their first meeting since

1:02:32 > 1:02:34she criticised him for sharing racist videos tweeted

1:02:34 > 1:02:37by the far-right group, Britain First.

1:02:37 > 1:02:41Matt Hancock joins us from Davos. Thanks for your time. Could you

1:02:41 > 1:02:46please outline some of the themes in the speech Theresa May will be

1:02:46 > 1:02:52making later? She's going to be talking about the

1:02:52 > 1:02:58fact we have this amazing new digital technology, the Internet,

1:02:58 > 1:03:03and in the main it is a great force for good but we need to make sure we

1:03:03 > 1:03:07tackle some of the harms it brings and we can't do that alone as

1:03:07 > 1:03:11government. Companies need to step up to the plate. They have been

1:03:11 > 1:03:15making some progress but there is clearly more to do to tackle some of

1:03:15 > 1:03:21the harms that we see online, the terrorist material that exists there

1:03:21 > 1:03:26and also making sure children are protected and getting the balance

1:03:26 > 1:03:30right between the great freedom the Internet brings but also making sure

1:03:30 > 1:03:37we mitigate harms to others is a very important project and the Prime

1:03:37 > 1:03:42Minister will be setting out more details on that.Mr Hancock, why do

1:03:42 > 1:03:46people feel such frustration and why are we asking these companies, if

1:03:46 > 1:03:50you like pleading with them to do something voluntarily, why are we

1:03:50 > 1:03:55doing that, why don't we take more Draconian action and force them?In

1:03:55 > 1:04:00some areas we are legislating as we speak. There is legislation on data

1:04:00 > 1:04:04protection in front of the House of Commons, which tackles some of these

1:04:04 > 1:04:08issues. By the nature of the platforms you've got to do it

1:04:08 > 1:04:12through the platforms, but we're certainly willing to look at all

1:04:12 > 1:04:18options. Getting that balance to make sure the material that is

1:04:18 > 1:04:23harmful is taken down and preferably taken down before anybody sees it...

1:04:23 > 1:04:29Yet normal people trying to use the Internet in a perfectly positive way

1:04:29 > 1:04:33like most people do have the freedom to do so. Getting that balance is

1:04:33 > 1:04:38what we need to achieve. Clearly the companies need to do more and

1:04:38 > 1:04:42there's something else the Prime Minister will be saying today and

1:04:42 > 1:04:45articulating, which is it is in the interests of the investors in the

1:04:45 > 1:04:50company to get this right. Gone are the days these companies can think

1:04:50 > 1:04:55the government should just get out of the way. It's clear we need to

1:04:55 > 1:05:00make sure we have norms and rules in place to make sure that we harness

1:05:00 > 1:05:05the Internet as a force for good. The investors have got a very

1:05:05 > 1:05:10important part to play in that.When use that phrase we're looking at all

1:05:10 > 1:05:15options, it sounds like one of those phrases people used to kick a

1:05:15 > 1:05:20problem down the road -- when you use. Does that mean you're thinking

1:05:20 > 1:05:23about legal restrictions? Are you poking about something much more

1:05:23 > 1:05:29serious?Well, we don't rule out further legislation. As I said Mawae

1:05:29 > 1:05:32legislating right now, there's a bill in front of the House of

1:05:32 > 1:05:38Commons, it's about tackling some of these issues -- as I say, we are

1:05:38 > 1:05:43legislating. There's a broad range of challenges. There's the impact on

1:05:43 > 1:05:47terrorism and making sure Jordan are protected online, there's the need

1:05:47 > 1:05:52to intellectual property online and make sure we tackle bullying --

1:05:52 > 1:05:56children are protected. There's a broad range of issues and each of

1:05:56 > 1:06:00them needs to be addressed properly. But the leadership that the Prime

1:06:00 > 1:06:04Minister is showing here talking to other global leaders is to say that

1:06:04 > 1:06:09we can't just ignore this problem, or you can think because the

1:06:09 > 1:06:13Internet companies are global, therefore individual countries can't

1:06:13 > 1:06:18do anything about it, we absolutely can and we're determined to and

1:06:18 > 1:06:21we're going to be publishing more on that later today.

1:06:21 > 1:06:27Mr Hancock, wanted to ask you a few questions the Presidents Club story,

1:06:27 > 1:06:33some of your remit covers the charity sector. Many people possibly

1:06:33 > 1:06:37at the event are in themselves why were they there and is what's

1:06:37 > 1:06:42happening

1:06:43 > 1:06:46happening OK, Nadim Zahawi, the Education Minister, might be asking

1:06:46 > 1:06:50himself those questions, what are your reflections on the fact he was

1:06:50 > 1:06:54there and were it not for the FT investigation apparently that would

1:06:54 > 1:07:01have been OK?I'm very glad this club has been shut down and I think

1:07:01 > 1:07:09that it's part of a wider change that we need to make sure that you

1:07:09 > 1:07:13have genuine equality of opportunity in this country, in our country, and

1:07:13 > 1:07:17making sure men and women are treated equally and I think you see

1:07:17 > 1:07:23this across a range of different areas. Making sure we have equal pay

1:07:23 > 1:07:26is still unfinished business and there's more to do. I'm very glad

1:07:26 > 1:07:31that the club has been shut down. I was appalled when I read it for the

1:07:31 > 1:07:37first time on the FT website and I'm glad it's gone.

1:07:37 > 1:07:42If I may, part of this is about sending out messages and the fact

1:07:42 > 1:07:46and Education Minister in the current government saw it fit to be

1:07:46 > 1:07:50at an event that apparently within the charity sector many people knew

1:07:50 > 1:07:55had quite an extreme reputation, it wasn't a surprise to a lot of

1:07:55 > 1:07:59people, these revelations coming out, shocking as they are. Why was a

1:07:59 > 1:08:05government minister going there? I understand that he was invited

1:08:05 > 1:08:09because it was a charity fundraiser and he left early because he felt

1:08:09 > 1:08:14uncomfortable with it. That's what I'm told. I also understand that

1:08:14 > 1:08:18he's spoken to the chief whip and had a common station with the Chief

1:08:18 > 1:08:22Whip about it. But there's a broader point, which is we need to make sure

1:08:22 > 1:08:29that we don't have events this that are clearly frankly so sexist.

1:08:29 > 1:08:36What are you going to do in your role as Secretary of State to ensure

1:08:36 > 1:08:41that something changes? Everyone is thinking the same thing and saying

1:08:41 > 1:08:45the same words, but sometimes unless there's some form of government

1:08:45 > 1:08:51legislation or further action people facing penalties... What are you

1:08:51 > 1:08:55going to do in practice?We have a regulator, the charities commission,

1:08:55 > 1:09:00whose role is to make sure charities behave in appropriate ways.It

1:09:00 > 1:09:05demonstrates that is not working surely?

1:09:05 > 1:09:10The fact the club has shut down I think is a good thing and... Had it

1:09:10 > 1:09:14not then it would have been the sort of thing the charities commission

1:09:14 > 1:09:18would have made the choice about whether or not to look into but it

1:09:18 > 1:09:22certainly has the powers it needs. In fact we strengthen that

1:09:22 > 1:09:27legislation two years ago to make sure it has the powers it needs in

1:09:27 > 1:09:30this kind of circumstance. Do you think Nadhim Zahawi should

1:09:30 > 1:09:33stay in his role as Education Minister?

1:09:33 > 1:09:38As I say, he's had a conversation with the Chief Whip. It's very much

1:09:38 > 1:09:44a matter for the Whips and the Prime Minister rather than for me. But his

1:09:44 > 1:09:48explanation is that he was invited because it was a charity fundraiser

1:09:48 > 1:09:55and then that he left early. Matth Hancock, appreciate your time

1:09:55 > 1:09:58this morning, Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport,

1:09:58 > 1:10:02speaking to us from what looks like a very cold Davos.

1:10:02 > 1:10:05Chilly but beautiful.Thank you very much!

1:10:05 > 1:10:08Kyle Edmund will try to extend his remarkable Australian Open run

1:10:08 > 1:10:10and reach his first Grand Slam final when he takes

1:10:10 > 1:10:12on Marin Cilic this morning.

1:10:12 > 1:10:14Victory would mean that the 23-year-old replace Andy Murray

1:10:14 > 1:10:15as British number one.

1:10:15 > 1:10:23Our Australia correspondent Hywel Griffith is live in Melbourne.

1:10:26 > 1:10:32We're excited here, what is the atmosphere like where you are?

1:10:32 > 1:10:36Good morning, welcome back to Melbourne. It's definitely building,

1:10:36 > 1:10:41just under 90 minutes to go until Kyle Edmund walks out on the Rod

1:10:41 > 1:10:45Laver arena. He arrived here of course unseeded and unfancied and

1:10:45 > 1:10:51dare I say unknown to most viewers and people outside of the tennis

1:10:51 > 1:10:54court but in the last few weeks he's played with the confidence that

1:10:54 > 1:10:58means he can no longer be ignored. For years he's been in the shadow of

1:10:58 > 1:11:02Andy Murray but without his great friend here, he's definitely soaked

1:11:02 > 1:11:05up the limelight and he seems to be enjoying it.

1:11:05 > 1:11:09Under Melbourne's sweltering sun, plenty would feel the pressure.

1:11:09 > 1:11:12This is tennis's biggest stage where reputations are made.

1:11:12 > 1:11:14If Kyle Edmund is feeling the pressure, he's not

1:11:14 > 1:11:16letting it show.

1:11:16 > 1:11:19Last night was spent relaxing with friends.

1:11:19 > 1:11:24He's in a really good place, had dinner with him last night,

1:11:24 > 1:11:27he's happy, he's laughing, he should be, he's in the semi-final

1:11:27 > 1:11:31of a slam and he's playing great tennis and a lot of the tennis world

1:11:31 > 1:11:32are now talking about him.

1:11:32 > 1:11:38He's going to believe he's arrived on that stage and belongs

1:11:38 > 1:11:40there, and I think the rest

1:11:40 > 1:11:43of the tour will realise he's going to be tough to

1:11:43 > 1:11:49beat moving forward.

1:11:49 > 1:11:53That's come after knocking out some of best names in the game.

1:11:53 > 1:11:55His victory over world number three Grigor Dimitrov showed

1:11:55 > 1:11:58he could match an aggressive style with mature mental strength.

1:11:58 > 1:12:00Now he faces the world number six.

1:12:00 > 1:12:03There will be plenty of British tennis fans cheering him on,

1:12:03 > 1:12:04thirsty for a new six story.

1:12:04 > 1:12:07It's amazing, it's amazing, the biggest stage of his life,

1:12:07 > 1:12:08we are all behind him.

1:12:08 > 1:12:10We are surprised but we're happy he's here.

1:12:10 > 1:12:13It's going to be fantastic, think he will deliver pride back

1:12:13 > 1:12:15to the British I think.

1:12:15 > 1:12:18Win today and Kyle Edmund will be in a grand slam final.

1:12:18 > 1:12:25All he needs to do is keep cool and carry on.

1:12:25 > 1:12:29The pressure is on him but so far he's been responding very well and

1:12:29 > 1:12:34those around him tell me there's been a change over the last few

1:12:34 > 1:12:38months, he used to walk on court with his cap down and his bag on his

1:12:38 > 1:12:41shoulders, now he's looking up and enjoying his time and things have

1:12:41 > 1:12:46opened up nicely for him. No Rafa Nadal, Djokovic has gone home, Andy

1:12:46 > 1:12:50Murray didn't even play. Roger Federer remains on the other side of

1:12:50 > 1:12:55the draw, most people think Roger Federer will be on the final -- in

1:12:55 > 1:13:00the final on Sunday, who will be his opponent? In about 75 minutes we

1:13:00 > 1:13:04will start to find out. Win or lose, Kyle Edmund has announced himself to

1:13:04 > 1:13:10the tennis world and will have won himself a huge amount of fans in

1:13:10 > 1:13:15Great Britain.That's it, thanks very much, Hywel.Enjoy it, whatever

1:13:15 > 1:13:20you do, enjoy it!That's what he's been doing throughout his whole

1:13:20 > 1:13:20tournament!

1:13:20 > 1:13:24And you can listen to live coverage of the match on BBC

1:13:24 > 1:13:26Five Live this morning.

1:13:26 > 1:13:29Highlights will be on BBC Two this evening at 5pm.

1:13:29 > 1:13:32A judge in California has barred a mother and father

1:13:32 > 1:13:34accused of the imprisonment and torture of their 13 sons

1:13:34 > 1:13:36and daughters from having any contact with them.

1:13:36 > 1:13:39David and Louise Turpin appeared in court to

1:13:39 > 1:13:39deny the charges.

1:13:39 > 1:13:42The siblings will now be separated, with the adult children living

1:13:42 > 1:13:45in one location and the six youngsters divided between

1:13:45 > 1:13:48two foster homes.

1:13:48 > 1:13:50Sir Elton John has announced a farewell tour.

1:13:50 > 1:13:53He says he wants to stop touring to spend more time

1:13:53 > 1:13:56with his young children, but only after a three-year

1:13:56 > 1:14:01extravaganza featuring 300 gigs around the globe.

1:14:01 > 1:14:03He told our US correspondent Nick Bryant.

1:14:03 > 1:14:07I've been travelling since I was 17 in the back of a van up

1:14:07 > 1:14:08and down the M1.

1:14:08 > 1:14:10Although I travel in the most fantastic way, it's exhausting

1:14:10 > 1:14:12and I don't enjoy it.

1:14:12 > 1:14:14It's a long goodbye. It's a long goodbye.

1:14:14 > 1:14:17Three years, 300 shows but I'm really, really looking forward to it

1:14:17 > 1:14:25and they will be happy shows, I won't regret it.

1:14:26 > 1:14:31Happy shows. I can well imagine!

1:14:31 > 1:14:36Let's find out what's happening in the weather with Matt. You put out

1:14:36 > 1:14:40there 15 degrees, it is still January, isn't it?It is,

1:14:40 > 1:14:47potentially 15 on Sunday. We saw 15 yesterday in one or two spots.

1:14:50 > 1:14:58After yesterday, wet and windy. Temperatures in the teens. A

1:14:58 > 1:15:05difficult comment. But nowhere

1:15:05 > 1:15:07difficult comment. But nowhere near as wet as yesterday. The storm has

1:15:07 > 1:15:13gone to northern Europe.At the moment, slightly colder air. The

1:15:13 > 1:15:17shower clouds are pushing in through Ireland to the western fringes of

1:15:17 > 1:15:23the UK. Wet weather to start the day for some. A few showers in Northern

1:15:23 > 1:15:28Ireland. Central and southern Scotland, a dry and bright start.

1:15:28 > 1:15:32The bulk of England, a dry start of the cloud pushing into north-west

1:15:32 > 1:15:39England. Showers in Wales. Heavy. Not as windy as yesterday, but

1:15:39 > 1:15:47blustery. The odd shower in Kent and Sussex. A rumble of thunder. East

1:15:47 > 1:15:53Anglia, the south-east of England, starting dry. A few more showers

1:15:53 > 1:15:58developing through the day pushing from the west further east. Spells

1:15:58 > 1:16:03of rain in the far south of Scotland and northern England and Wales.

1:16:03 > 1:16:12Brightness and between. East Anglia, dry throughout. Nothing untoward.

1:16:12 > 1:16:17Tonight. Showers continue for a time in England and Wales and eastern

1:16:17 > 1:16:22Scotland. Confined to eastern areas, Pembrokeshire, Cornwall. Western

1:16:22 > 1:16:30areas becoming dry and clear. Mist and fog. Widespread frost. Tomorrow

1:16:30 > 1:16:35look like a decent day. Showers in eastern England fading away. Sunny

1:16:35 > 1:16:39spells into the afternoon. Hazy for the west later on. Temperatures

1:16:39 > 1:16:48tomorrow, 4-9. Down on the values of the day. Back into the sunshine and

1:16:48 > 1:16:57white wind. Changing on the weekend. -- light wind. A spell of rain from

1:16:57 > 1:17:02west to east on Saturday rapidly. The heaviest rain in Scotland.

1:17:02 > 1:17:05Severe gales in the final. Temperatures on the rise through the

1:17:05 > 1:17:11day. -- far north. South-westerly winds return. This is what you want

1:17:11 > 1:17:18to hear. I cannot promise sunshine everywhere, but the east of England

1:17:18 > 1:17:27could see some sunshine at times. And it could even be 15 degrees.I

1:17:27 > 1:17:30will believe it when the numbers are on the map. OK, I

1:17:30 > 1:17:31will believe it when the numbers are on the map. OK, I will try.Thank

1:17:31 > 1:17:39you.

1:17:39 > 1:17:47The man that only annual dinner of the Presidents Club has gone on for

1:17:47 > 1:17:5530 years. -- the men-only. A number of charities say they will return

1:17:55 > 1:18:02donations they have received due to allegations of grouping. We are

1:18:02 > 1:18:09joined from the Charity Commission. Thank you for joining us. How has

1:18:09 > 1:18:14your knowledge of what happened come through? When did you find out about

1:18:14 > 1:18:22the implications of this event?We first learned about this when the

1:18:22 > 1:18:30FTP was first published on line. The other evening, half past eight. The

1:18:30 > 1:18:35behave described has no place in charity. It is very serious. We got

1:18:35 > 1:18:40in

1:18:40 > 1:18:44in touch with the trustees yesterday morning. They said they will close

1:18:44 > 1:18:49the charity. They will be held accountable for their actions. As it

1:18:49 > 1:18:59is closing, we have an important role in making sure it

1:18:59 > 1:19:02role in making sure it does so in an orderly way, and the charitable

1:19:02 > 1:19:05money they have goes somewhere good. You referred to the evening of the

1:19:05 > 1:19:12Presidents Club as a charity.Yes. It is on our register and is a

1:19:12 > 1:19:18charity. They have responsibilities under charity law to fund raise

1:19:18 > 1:19:23ethically and responsibly in line with the values we uphold. They have

1:19:23 > 1:19:29to make sure people who get involved are safe and their well-being is

1:19:29 > 1:19:36protected. There are clear concerns that this has not been undertaken

1:19:36 > 1:19:40properly.What is your responsibility to make sure they

1:19:40 > 1:19:44abide by the rules?Charity trustees are responsible for running

1:19:44 > 1:19:50charities along with the law. We set out the possibilities and guidance

1:19:50 > 1:19:57on our website. -- responsibilities. It is very clear that be if they

1:19:57 > 1:20:06breached those, and that is the concern, we have the power to take

1:20:06 > 1:20:15action. This does not end the remit by closing.You give guidelines on

1:20:15 > 1:20:23what to do but you do not act upon ensuring they are met until you are

1:20:23 > 1:20:27told they have done something wrong and then you take action?When any

1:20:27 > 1:20:33concerns like this come to us, we immediately act. As soon as we had

1:20:33 > 1:20:40any awareness this had happened in a charity, we acted very swiftly.

1:20:40 > 1:20:43Clearly, there is a wider problem about people reporting concerns like

1:20:43 > 1:20:48this. I encourage anyone with any concerns about any kind of behaviour

1:20:48 > 1:20:56like this in a charity to be clear this behaviour has no place in a

1:20:56 > 1:20:59charity, it is unacceptable, and if you have any cause to be concerned,

1:20:59 > 1:21:03that the regulator no. We have the power to act and hold them

1:21:03 > 1:21:09accountable. -- know.That is the message today. Will you actively do

1:21:09 > 1:21:13something to encourage charities who are part of the commission to take a

1:21:13 > 1:21:18closer look at the events held in their name?Absolutely. It has been

1:21:18 > 1:21:23really important, not only that we are proactive in our response to

1:21:23 > 1:21:28this specific case, but that we are clear publicly, which is why I have

1:21:28 > 1:21:33come on the programme, to other charities that this is unacceptable.

1:21:33 > 1:21:38Let's be clear, fundraisers are horrified by what they have heard.

1:21:38 > 1:21:44The secretary is reeling from this. The response of charity leaders and

1:21:44 > 1:21:48fundraisers has also been strong in saying this behaviour has no place

1:21:48 > 1:21:52in charity. It is a strong message from the regulator and the charity

1:21:52 > 1:21:58sector.Thank you very much for talking to us on Breakfast this

1:21:58 > 1:22:03morning.

1:22:07 > 1:22:10Sky have just announced how well they've been doing.

1:22:10 > 1:22:13Ben has more on that and the other main business stories.

1:22:13 > 1:22:19They are up 5% after signing 255,000 new customers, taking the total to

1:22:19 > 1:22:2923 million. The regulator blocked the take over of Sky by Fox. They

1:22:29 > 1:22:34said the deal could give the Rupert Murdoch family too much control over

1:22:34 > 1:22:37news in the UK.

1:22:37 > 1:22:40Around three million people fall victim to scams every year,

1:22:40 > 1:22:41costing millions of pounds.

1:22:41 > 1:22:44Trading Standards have set up a new scheme to help

1:22:44 > 1:22:45spot the scammers.

1:22:45 > 1:22:48Only 5% of scams are reported to the authorities, like the police

1:22:48 > 1:22:49or Trading Standards.

1:22:49 > 1:22:52So they want more people to be aware of the problem and know how

1:22:52 > 1:22:53to deal with it.

1:22:53 > 1:22:57The scheme will also train a million so-called "Scam Spotters" by 2020.

1:22:57 > 1:22:59The number of teenagers holding a driving licence has fallen

1:22:59 > 1:23:01by almost 40% in two decades.

1:23:01 > 1:23:04The Government backed research revealed as more people communicate

1:23:04 > 1:23:07on line than face to face, not owning a car is likely to be

1:23:07 > 1:23:15the "new norm."

1:23:19 > 1:23:28More on those stories in half an hour. We will look at the potential

1:23:28 > 1:23:33takeover that has been ruled out. That could mean they restructure.

1:23:33 > 1:23:36Thank you very much.

1:23:36 > 1:23:40Knife crime is at the highest level in England and Wales for six years.

1:23:40 > 1:23:42There were almost 37,000 offences last year.

1:23:42 > 1:23:44So, what can be done to tackle the problem?

1:23:44 > 1:23:47In Scotland, violent crime is treated as a public health

1:23:47 > 1:23:49problem, a disease to be cured, with long-term plans

1:23:49 > 1:23:52to tackle its causes, and it seems to be working.

1:23:52 > 1:24:00Breakfast's John Maguire is in Glasgow this morning.

1:24:00 > 1:24:08Good morning.Good morning.This is one of the ways they are helping to

1:24:08 > 1:24:13tackle this problem. It is a street cafe serving street food. This is

1:24:13 > 1:24:24the name of

1:24:24 > 1:24:26the name of it, Street and Narrow, run by ex-offenders working here. It

1:24:26 > 1:24:31is a trendy caravan converted in the style of the 70s in California. They

1:24:31 > 1:24:38made me a delicious sandwich. They have link sausages, good Scottish

1:24:38 > 1:24:44fare. Look at this. That looks delicious, getting your taste buds

1:24:44 > 1:24:52going first thing in the morning. What is the super?

1:24:52 > 1:24:57What is the super?Lentil, tomato, and chilli. Delicious.-- soup

1:24:57 > 1:25:03today. You work here last year. What was it like working here for you?It

1:25:03 > 1:25:11was great. It gave us the ability to change our lives around. I really

1:25:11 > 1:25:22enjoyed it.What did you enjoy working here? To the public make the

1:25:22 > 1:25:31difference?Getting involved.You have gone on to find work?Yes.How

1:25:31 > 1:25:55do you find it?It is great. Inspector, people like Colin are

1:25:55 > 1:25:58perfect role models for these schemes and the work you do reducing

1:25:58 > 1:26:03violent crime.He is a role model to his family and others who want to

1:26:03 > 1:26:07get involved. It is a great example of how people can change.Why does a

1:26:07 > 1:26:10scheme like this work?People can reconnect. It gives them the

1:26:10 > 1:26:16opportunity to be the best they were meant to be. They can change their

1:26:16 > 1:26:21lives and become regular members of society.It is a big scheme and

1:26:21 > 1:26:30works in many ways. It works with public health, getting involved in

1:26:30 > 1:26:34hospitals, perhaps when they have been involved in a violent incident.

1:26:34 > 1:26:41Yes. We are based in Glasgow and Edinburgh. People are directed to

1:26:41 > 1:26:47us. We join up the dots.Thank you very much for chatting to us this

1:26:47 > 1:26:53morning. Just working away getting things ready to open up for

1:26:53 > 1:26:58breakfast and lunch. Schemes like this, especially what we were

1:26:58 > 1:27:03talking about in hospitals, they are finding their way down to England

1:27:03 > 1:27:07and Wales. There was a hospital in London looking at that work. We have

1:27:07 > 1:27:12the figures and we will give them see you later on. This works with

1:27:12 > 1:30:40the backdrop of decreasing violent crime.Thank you.It is time to

1:30:40 > 1:30:42I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

1:30:42 > 1:30:43in half an hour.

1:30:43 > 1:30:46Now, though, it's back to the Breakfast sofa.

1:30:46 > 1:30:46Bye for now.

1:30:48 > 1:30:49Hello, this is Breakfast

1:30:49 > 1:30:55with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

1:30:55 > 1:30:58Good morning, here's a summary of today's main

1:30:58 > 1:31:02stories from BBC News:

1:31:02 > 1:31:06In the past half-hour culture Secretary Matth Hancock has said he

1:31:06 > 1:31:08welcomes the closure of the Presidents Club. His comments come

1:31:08 > 1:31:18after women employed as hostesses at a charity dinner were groped.

1:31:18 > 1:31:22I'm very glad this club has been shut down and it's part of that

1:31:22 > 1:31:27shutting it down is part of a wider change that we need to make sure

1:31:27 > 1:31:34that you have genuine equality of opportunity in this country, in our

1:31:34 > 1:31:37country and making sure men and women are treated equally and you

1:31:37 > 1:31:41see this across a range of different areas, like making sure we have

1:31:41 > 1:31:52equal pay is still unfinished business and there is more to do.

1:31:52 > 1:31:54The Education Minister Nadhim Zahawi has been summoned by the Government

1:31:54 > 1:31:57Chief Whip to explain his version of events

1:31:57 > 1:31:58at a men-only charity dinner.

1:31:58 > 1:32:00The minister said he felt uncomfortable and left

1:32:00 > 1:32:01the event early.

1:32:01 > 1:32:03The Charity Commission said it is investigating the allegations

1:32:03 > 1:32:05as a matter of urgency.

1:32:05 > 1:32:08Theresa May will use a speech at the World Economic Forum

1:32:08 > 1:32:10in Switzerland to put more pressure on technology companies

1:32:10 > 1:32:13like Facebook and Twitter to tackle extremist material online.

1:32:13 > 1:32:16She'll be speaking in Davos just hours before she sits down

1:32:16 > 1:32:18with US President Donald Trump, their first meeting since

1:32:18 > 1:32:20she criticised him for sharing racist videos tweeted

1:32:20 > 1:32:28by the far-right group, Britain First.

1:32:28 > 1:32:31A judge in California has barred a mother and father accused

1:32:31 > 1:32:34of the imprisonment and torture of their 13 sons and daughters

1:32:34 > 1:32:36from having any contact with them.

1:32:36 > 1:32:39David and Louise Turpin appeared in court to deny the charges.

1:32:39 > 1:32:42The siblings will now be separated, with the adult children living

1:32:42 > 1:32:44in one location and the six youngsters divided between

1:32:44 > 1:32:52two foster homes.

1:32:52 > 1:32:54Insurers say they will pay more than £30 million

1:32:54 > 1:32:56to businesses which are owed money by Carillion,

1:32:56 > 1:33:02the failed construction and services company.

1:33:02 > 1:33:04Sums between £5,000 and several million are being paid

1:33:04 > 1:33:07out but only to the minority of firms which had insurance cover

1:33:07 > 1:33:08against bad debts.

1:33:08 > 1:33:11Carillion went under last week leaving its 30,000 suppliers facing

1:33:11 > 1:33:12an uncertain future.

1:33:12 > 1:33:15Scientist say smoking one cigarette a day is much more dangerous

1:33:15 > 1:33:16than previously thought.

1:33:16 > 1:33:19The team at University College London said low levels can alter

1:33:19 > 1:33:22the way the heart, lungs and vessels work, leading to a higher risk

1:33:22 > 1:33:23of heart attack and stroke.

1:33:23 > 1:33:26They say people should give up rather than cut down.

1:33:26 > 1:33:29Plans to set up tens of thousands of free water refill points

1:33:29 > 1:33:31across England are being announced today.

1:33:31 > 1:33:33Water UK, which represents water companies and suppliers,

1:33:33 > 1:33:37says it wants to expand a refill scheme first launched in 2015.

1:33:37 > 1:33:40It hopes this will help reduce pollution caused by plastic bottles

1:33:40 > 1:33:46being thrown away.

1:33:46 > 1:33:49The organisers of this year's Winter Olympics

1:33:49 > 1:33:50revealed their security forces yesterday,

1:33:50 > 1:33:57and in a way you might not expect.

1:33:57 > 1:33:59While most military drills can be somewhat

1:33:59 > 1:34:01formal, not in Pyeongchang!

1:34:01 > 1:34:04The South Korean Guard of Honour were showing off their moves

1:34:04 > 1:34:08as they rehearsed for the start of the games, which get under way

1:34:08 > 1:34:14on the ninth February.

1:34:14 > 1:34:19Very snazzy moves they are too! You're just enjoying that?

1:34:19 > 1:34:31It's an odd combination of choreography and fits of violence.

1:34:31 > 1:34:36It isn't really Strictly, is it? Good morning, Sonali. I think they

1:34:36 > 1:34:40did well! There was the moment when they did that quickly with the guns.

1:34:40 > 1:34:48It might have been the camera angle!

1:34:48 > 1:34:52We have been counting down!We have one hour to go until the big match,

1:34:52 > 1:34:58until Kyle Edmund is in his first grand slams and.

1:34:58 > 1:35:03He looked like he was starting to enjoy it at the end of the last

1:35:03 > 1:35:07match and I hope there hasn't been a huge emotional toll in getting this

1:35:07 > 1:35:11far in a grand slam because he's only ever been into the fourth round

1:35:11 > 1:35:15at the US Open. This is what he's been working towards for a very long

1:35:15 > 1:35:19time so he's been playing since the age of ten so you would expect that.

1:35:19 > 1:35:23This is how delighted Kyle himself was to reach the semi final.

1:35:23 > 1:35:26He'd just beaten world number three Grigor Dimitrov in the quarters.

1:35:26 > 1:35:28Another semi-finalist, a five-time champion in Melbourne,

1:35:28 > 1:35:30thinks the Briton has a fighting chance against Marin Cilic.

1:35:30 > 1:35:32It is two steps away, you know?

1:35:32 > 1:35:34A lot of stuff can happen.

1:35:34 > 1:35:38You play one good one and the other guy plays one bad one,

1:35:38 > 1:35:42usually there is no bad matches any more in semi-final plays.

1:35:42 > 1:35:47But it's a good situation to be in and he can hit freely now and no

1:35:47 > 1:35:49expectations whatsoever, so maybe he'll never be in this

1:35:49 > 1:35:55position ever again to have so little expectations in some ways.

1:35:55 > 1:35:58And we'll be speaking to Andrew Castle about Kyle in just

1:35:58 > 1:35:59a few minutes.

1:35:59 > 1:36:06In the women's semi-finals, Simona Halep and Angelique Kerber

1:36:06 > 1:36:08are tied at 1-1, it's in the final stages

1:36:08 > 1:36:10of the decider.

1:36:10 > 1:36:13Halep is leading 8-7.

1:36:13 > 1:36:16Caroline Wozniacki has already made it through to her third major final.

1:36:16 > 1:36:17If Kerber wins, Wozniacki will take

1:36:17 > 1:36:21Halep's spot as the world number one.

1:36:21 > 1:36:24Arsene Wenger took a big step towards winning the League Cup

1:36:24 > 1:36:27for the first time at Arsenal with a 2-1 semi-final win over

1:36:27 > 1:36:28Chelsea last night.

1:36:28 > 1:36:31The first leg ended 0-1, but Chelsea already had a goal

1:36:31 > 1:36:34disallowed by the time Eden Hazard put them ahead.

1:36:34 > 1:36:34Arsenal were soon

1:36:34 > 1:36:36back level, though, a double-deflection off

1:36:36 > 1:36:39Nacho Monreal's header made it 1-1 after only 11 minutes.

1:36:39 > 1:36:41The winner took a bit longer to arrive,

1:36:41 > 1:36:44Granit Xhaka poking it home, to send his side to Wembley

1:36:44 > 1:36:46to face Manchester City on February the 25th.

1:36:46 > 1:36:50We looked like always we could win this game.

1:36:50 > 1:36:55At the end I've said it was a little bit lucky with a deflected goal

1:36:55 > 1:36:58with the first and the second one as well was a bit lucky,

1:36:58 > 1:37:02but overall I felt we controlled well the game in the second half.

1:37:02 > 1:37:04In Scotland, Rangers jumped above Aberdeen into second

1:37:04 > 1:37:06after beating them 2-0 at Ibrox.

1:37:06 > 1:37:08But Hibs are now just five points behind both sides

1:37:08 > 1:37:10after beating Dundee away.

1:37:10 > 1:37:12John McGinn's goal was enough to seal victory.

1:37:12 > 1:37:15Hearts beat Hamilton and bottom side Ross County lost to Motherwell.

1:37:15 > 1:37:23Celtic didn't play but are still 11 points clear at the top.

1:37:25 > 1:37:27The Football Association say England women's newly-appointed head

1:37:27 > 1:37:29coach Phil Neville won't face any disciplinary action over

1:37:29 > 1:37:34historic sexist tweets.

1:37:34 > 1:37:37Posts on his social media accounts subsequently emerged of him

1:37:37 > 1:37:39apparently assuming women would be cooking breakfast instead

1:37:39 > 1:37:43of watching sport.

1:37:43 > 1:37:46The Women in Football group say more attention should be paid

1:37:46 > 1:37:49instead to how the next women's coaches can be brought through.

1:37:49 > 1:37:51There are less than 10% of football coaches in England are female.

1:37:51 > 1:37:55That's a shocking stat and terrible when you compare it to Germany,

1:37:55 > 1:37:56which is more like 30%.

1:37:56 > 1:38:00We need to make sure in four years' time we have an abundance

1:38:00 > 1:38:03of coaches, male and female, who are specialist in the women's

1:38:03 > 1:38:06game and we can really look to for that sort of strength

1:38:06 > 1:38:07and depth in talent.

1:38:07 > 1:38:10England are looking to defend their 6 Nations title for the second

1:38:10 > 1:38:13year running, the tournament starts next weekend and they face

1:38:13 > 1:38:14Italy in their opening match.

1:38:14 > 1:38:17All of the 6 Nations were in London for the tournament

1:38:17 > 1:38:18launch yesterday.

1:38:18 > 1:38:20England are favourites but Ireland and Scotland pose

1:38:20 > 1:38:23a significant threat.

1:38:23 > 1:38:25You've got some great teams in this competition,

1:38:25 > 1:38:28you've got Ireland flying, Scotland flying, Wales have been

1:38:28 > 1:38:31the benchmark in European rugby, we know what France can do and Italy

1:38:31 > 1:38:34can play some extraordinary rugby so it's this

1:38:34 > 1:38:36great tournament, this intense competition between countries that

1:38:36 > 1:38:44sleep next to each other.

1:38:45 > 1:38:48It's fantastic.

1:38:48 > 1:38:52We know if we perform well we can put ourselves in a very good

1:38:52 > 1:38:54position, but we also aren't naive enough to think other countries

1:38:54 > 1:38:56aren't thinking the same thing.

1:38:56 > 1:38:59A lot of the other countries in the Six Nations had good autumns

1:38:59 > 1:39:03as well and had fantastic years, years of success in the Six Nations,

1:39:03 > 1:39:07so we've just scratched the surface of that really.

1:39:07 > 1:39:10England cricketer Anya Shrubsole has become the first female cricketer

1:39:10 > 1:39:12to appear on the front cover of the iconic cricketers'

1:39:12 > 1:39:13almanack, Wisden.

1:39:13 > 1:39:16Shrubsole took five wickets in 19 balls to help England's beat

1:39:16 > 1:39:19India to win the World Cup final last summer and was also nominated

1:39:19 > 1:39:22for the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

1:39:22 > 1:39:25She called the Wisden cover an amazing honour and privilege

1:39:25 > 1:39:33and a clear representation of the strength of the women's game.

1:39:33 > 1:39:37And finally a story that's got a lot of football fans talking.

1:39:37 > 1:39:39This is the new club badge Leeds United put forward

1:39:39 > 1:39:42to their fans, it was unveiled yesterday with the club saying

1:39:42 > 1:39:44they spent six months consulting

1:39:44 > 1:39:4610,000 fans to reach the end result.

1:39:46 > 1:39:49But the reaction on social media has forced the club into a rethink.

1:39:49 > 1:39:52These were the thoughts of the Times sportswriter Henry Winter,

1:39:52 > 1:39:55and one fan on social media noticed the badge has a striking resemblance

1:39:55 > 1:39:57to a well-known indigestion treatment.

1:39:57 > 1:40:04The club now say they'll re-open the consultation process.

1:40:04 > 1:40:09I think it's giving a lot of people in digestion looking at the badge!

1:40:09 > 1:40:17Don't you like it?It isn't for me to like or dislike, I'm not a fan!I

1:40:17 > 1:40:23quite like it!I'm not, I don't know about Charlie, are you a Leeds

1:40:23 > 1:40:30United fan?No!OK!You're still allowed to comment on what the thing

1:40:30 > 1:40:34looks like!I think the spirit is great!They should have consulted

1:40:34 > 1:40:35both of you!

1:40:35 > 1:40:39So, Kyle Edmund will be on court in just an hour's time.

1:40:39 > 1:40:42How will he handle his first Grand Slam semi-final?

1:40:42 > 1:40:44Someone who knows something about the pressure of carrying

1:40:44 > 1:40:47Britain's hopes on his shoulders is former British number one,

1:40:47 > 1:40:49Andrew Castle.

1:40:49 > 1:40:53From an Arsenal fan, this is difficult to do, but I will do it

1:40:53 > 1:40:59anyway! For a lot of people, this week has

1:40:59 > 1:41:03been an introduction to Kyle Edmund, I know he's a former Davis Cup

1:41:03 > 1:41:06winner but lots of people getting to know him through the papers and

1:41:06 > 1:41:10finding out more about him but he's not an overnight success?We do our

1:41:10 > 1:41:16tweeting thing every now and again. Thank you for noticing for a start,

1:41:16 > 1:41:21someone paying attention! When he won the Davis Cup and obviously Andy

1:41:21 > 1:41:24Murray at that unbelievable year when they won in 2015, when you've

1:41:24 > 1:41:30been in a Davis Cup final and the fourth round of a grand slam in 2016

1:41:30 > 1:41:35at the US Open, semi-final of Tour events, world ranking rising up to a

1:41:35 > 1:41:39high of 48 couple of years ago, you're not an overnight success.

1:41:39 > 1:41:46There's no such thing in sport for me other than merit. He's got there

1:41:46 > 1:41:50on achievement, effort, talent, great family behind him. I just want

1:41:50 > 1:41:55to reflect that. Obviously there's a wider media that comes in and wider

1:41:55 > 1:42:01media outlets are suddenly interested, where did he go to

1:42:01 > 1:42:05school? All those sorts of things. But his tennis has been honed over

1:42:05 > 1:42:08years of hard work and it's important to remember that.

1:42:08 > 1:42:12People like to know these characters, don't be? We got to know

1:42:12 > 1:42:17Andy Murray a lot more, he was quite shy and elusive with the press in

1:42:17 > 1:42:22terms of giving much but now we know his personality a bit more. We don't

1:42:22 > 1:42:25know much about Kyle and that's what fascinates us, we want to know what

1:42:25 > 1:42:31drives him, he was shy, the cap was down a bit, now up a bit more as he

1:42:31 > 1:42:33enters the court. He is slightly more expressive on

1:42:33 > 1:42:39the court than he was come off the court he is the same, you ask him a

1:42:39 > 1:42:50question into his eyes and he will avert his days. His mum gets very

1:42:50 > 1:42:57nervous. They can't watch but they might go down for the final.That's

1:42:57 > 1:43:00pretty relaxed, if he makes the final!

1:43:00 > 1:43:05You've got to make and they have to make and they have to look after

1:43:05 > 1:43:10Kelly, she is 21, it is important where he comes from. For him he is

1:43:10 > 1:43:16becoming a man. 17, 18, 19, he wasn't ready for this success, his

1:43:16 > 1:43:20game wasn't there, neither was his mentality but he's continued to work

1:43:20 > 1:43:24in the right way and there's been a natural growth and now we see the

1:43:24 > 1:43:26result and he could win this semi-final.

1:43:26 > 1:43:30Andrew, as we're looking at him there, his is an attack game and

1:43:30 > 1:43:35he's going to walk on that court and he comes out with a blasting game.

1:43:35 > 1:43:39For those that haven't seen him play, that's what he does.

1:43:39 > 1:43:44I played him at 18 and that was a mistake. He wasn't born when I was

1:43:44 > 1:43:4818! He was on the way up and I was

1:43:48 > 1:43:51interested to feel the effect of his forehand and to feel his game,

1:43:51 > 1:43:56didn't have too much on the backhand at the forehand is an absolute joke!

1:43:56 > 1:44:00Once he winds up on it, you can't tell where it's going to go and he

1:44:00 > 1:44:04hits it so hard there's no time to react. It's genuinely one of the

1:44:04 > 1:44:08wonders of the tennis world for me. His serve has improved, he has a new

1:44:08 > 1:44:13coach teaching him to be himself, to express, to go for it and do the

1:44:13 > 1:44:17right things but the big deal for Kyle Edmund today is his defence.

1:44:17 > 1:44:22Through his matches with Dimitrov and Anderson, his success at this

1:44:22 > 1:44:26level jump, has come through defence on the wings and if he starts

1:44:26 > 1:44:30blocking the ball on the side and showing touch instead of blasting,

1:44:30 > 1:44:33that's when you know he's gone up a level and he's got the confidence.

1:44:33 > 1:44:36His serve as well is better. It's all good.

1:44:36 > 1:44:42Now I need to know if you got a point off him, how did it go?You

1:44:42 > 1:44:46know this, Charlie, catch them young, play them as young as

1:44:46 > 1:44:48possible and you will win a little bit!

1:44:48 > 1:44:54He was too old at 18 for me to get him!Do you think he can win today?

1:44:54 > 1:44:59I think he will but Federer will be the favourite for the tournament, he

1:44:59 > 1:45:02has been majestic, as normal.Lovely to talk to you.

1:45:02 > 1:45:05You can hear live commentary of the match on BBC Radio 5 Live

1:45:05 > 1:45:08and the highlights will be on BBC Two this evening.

1:45:08 > 1:45:17There will always also be the live text feed on the website. The

1:45:17 > 1:45:22highlights will be at 4:45pm. One hour until the start of the game? 45

1:45:22 > 1:45:31minutes. What will the set up the? Very quiet, taking on water, maybe a

1:45:31 > 1:45:35bit of food and going into his own zone. The one thing I'm concerned

1:45:35 > 1:45:39about is he has given too much to too many people for his character

1:45:39 > 1:45:44because we all want a piece. Hopefully he's going into his place.

1:45:44 > 1:45:51I think he will win, and he's got to go on thinking he can win.The

1:45:51 > 1:45:56women's final, Simona Halep against Caroline Wozniak, Halep beat Kerber.

1:45:56 > 1:46:06Thanks very much!Almost live! -- Wozniak.

1:46:06 > 1:46:10Always changing but worth listening to. The weather.

1:46:10 > 1:46:12Always changing but worth listening to. The weather.Lots of heavy rain

1:46:12 > 1:46:20yesterday. Snowmelt. Flooding rivers. This was Dumfries. And this

1:46:20 > 1:46:28was York. More of that later this weekend.In between weather systems.

1:46:28 > 1:46:36Storm Georgina is off to northern Europe. In between, shower clouds.

1:46:36 > 1:46:47In a zone of cold air. Chilli. But a dry start. Elsewhere, showers in the

1:46:47 > 1:46:56west. More abundant in the afternoon.

1:46:56 > 1:46:59afternoon. Wintry over higher ground. Scene back in the highlands

1:46:59 > 1:47:06at the moment. East Anglia and surrounding areas, pleasant and dry.

1:47:06 > 1:47:11A breeze makes it feel cool. Temperatures right for January.

1:47:11 > 1:47:17Showers in England and Wales. Some in northern Scotland. Elsewhere,

1:47:17 > 1:47:24dry. The odd shower in Cornwall. And down the eastern coastal counties. A

1:47:24 > 1:47:31cold start to the Warren morning. The chance of frost waking up.

1:47:31 > 1:47:41Frosty. Showers to begin with. Fading away. Dry and sunny

1:47:41 > 1:47:49conditions, but not overly warm. Then comes the cloud. Weather

1:47:49 > 1:47:55systems pushing in. Not just wet and windy on Saturday. The rain will go

1:47:55 > 1:47:59from west to east quickly given the strength of the wind. Brightening up

1:47:59 > 1:48:04later. The heaviest in Scotland. Severe gales on Saturday.

1:48:04 > 1:48:12Temperatures back into double figures. Mild air continuing.

1:48:12 > 1:48:17Sunday, rain in Scotland. Double-figure temperatures. 15

1:48:17 > 1:48:25degrees.

1:48:25 > 1:48:31degrees. Rain and water in the UK. This is Cape Town. South Africa, a

1:48:31 > 1:48:37different story. No rain at all. Critically low reservoirs at the

1:48:37 > 1:48:40moment. Cape Town could become the first metropolitan area in the world

1:48:40 > 1:48:48to see taps run dry as soon as April 12. To stave off that, from next

1:48:48 > 1:48:57week, households in the city will be limited to just 50 millilitres of

1:48:57 > 1:49:10water each. Ten toilet flushes. Acute.

1:49:10 > 1:49:13Pay TV firm, Sky, says revenues were up 5% in the last six months,

1:49:13 > 1:49:15Ben's taking a look.

1:49:15 > 1:49:18Yes, a strong set of figures from Sky, the pay TV firm.

1:49:18 > 1:49:20It's signed up another 365,000 new customers,

1:49:20 > 1:49:23taking their total to 23 million across the UK and Europe.

1:49:23 > 1:49:27But it's been a tough week for the satellite broadcaster.

1:49:27 > 1:49:30On Tuesday, the competition watchdog ruled that a proposed takeover

1:49:30 > 1:49:32of the company was not in the public interest.

1:49:32 > 1:49:33Why?

1:49:33 > 1:49:35Well, it's chairman is James Murdoch, the son of media

1:49:35 > 1:49:36tycoon, Rupert Murdoch.

1:49:36 > 1:49:39Sky is currently 39% owned by 21st Century Fox.

1:49:39 > 1:49:4221st Century Fox's boss is Ruper and the company is effectviely

1:49:42 > 1:49:43controlled by the Murdoch family.

1:49:43 > 1:49:46The problem is that Rupert Murdoch also owns News Corp,

1:49:46 > 1:49:48which in turn owns the Sun, Times, and Sunday Times.

1:49:48 > 1:49:51So, a lot of concerns about media ownership.

1:49:51 > 1:49:53On Tuesday, the Competition and Markets Authority ruled that

1:49:53 > 1:49:57Fox's bid for the remainder of Sky would give the Murdoch family too

1:49:57 > 1:50:05much control over news providers in the UK.

1:50:08 > 1:50:12What will happen next?

1:50:12 > 1:50:14Matthew Howett from Assembly Research is here.

1:50:14 > 1:50:15Matthew Howett from Assembly Research is here.

1:50:15 > 1:50:19When you see the family relationship, it is no surprise

1:50:19 > 1:50:24regulators said it is too much power. Is that the end of the story?

1:50:24 > 1:50:35They believe the ruling from the CMA came as a surprise. I think what the

1:50:35 > 1:50:39CMA said is not the end of the story. It could be different if they

1:50:39 > 1:50:42said this would have been bad for broadcasting standards. This would

1:50:42 > 1:50:51all be off the table if that were the case. The CMA have given

1:50:58 > 1:51:00the case. The CMA have given Sky and Fox and Disney a way through this

1:51:00 > 1:51:03with remedies around Sky News to reduce the combined influence.I did

1:51:03 > 1:51:07not mention Disney. It came in and said they will buy the group anyway.

1:51:07 > 1:51:11Where does that leave Sky? They have good figures. They are signing up

1:51:11 > 1:51:17more and more subscribers even though we have a squeeze on income.

1:51:17 > 1:51:21That is why firms want there hands on it.Disney is part of all of this

1:51:21 > 1:51:34and it is important to mention. Some of the

1:51:35 > 1:51:37of the remedies around the Fox-Sky takeover could fall away if Disney

1:51:37 > 1:51:42get it. That'll make Rupert happy. The CMA have given options. One of

1:51:42 > 1:51:46them is splitting up the news division and putting up a wall to

1:51:46 > 1:51:56stop interference. Why this transaction is happening is

1:51:56 > 1:51:59transaction is happening is because of the threat from other content

1:51:59 > 1:52:02companies like Netflix. We had their results recently. To combat that,

1:52:02 > 1:52:09they are trying to do these tie-ups. Sky talked a lot this morning about

1:52:09 > 1:52:14content, in particular, success of original programmes. They have the

1:52:14 > 1:52:21highest watching figures so far.You touched on Amazon, Netflix. There is

1:52:21 > 1:52:28so much choice. Is this actually just fighting over a shrinking

1:52:28 > 1:52:35market? Will ultimately Amazon and Netflix, will they merge, do deals,

1:52:35 > 1:52:44just to stay alive?There is a lot at stake. We should remember, of

1:52:44 > 1:52:50course, Sky has broadband, and many are taking content through that

1:52:50 > 1:52:54rather than over the air. They have to think about how to deliver that

1:52:54 > 1:53:02content. I suspect Sky is thinking with Fox about how to use that more.

1:53:02 > 1:53:06Selling bundles to consumers, packages, as well as connectivity.

1:53:06 > 1:53:12So interesting, isn't it? We will see what happens next. Thank you.

1:53:12 > 1:53:17More from me after 8pm.Thank you very much.

1:53:17 > 1:53:19Cheetahs are known for being the fastest land mammal,

1:53:19 > 1:53:22but now, new research suggests when it comes to catching prey,

1:53:22 > 1:53:24speed doesn't always equal success.

1:53:24 > 1:53:27Scientists have discovered a kind of arms race between big cats

1:53:27 > 1:53:28and the animals they hunt.

1:53:28 > 1:53:30As one gets faster, the other becomes more agile,

1:53:30 > 1:53:36as our science correspondent, Victoria Gill, explains.

1:53:36 > 1:53:42The fastest land animal on Earth. Cheetahs are built for speed and

1:53:42 > 1:53:48acceleration. But with a sprint they can sustain for less than a minute,

1:53:48 > 1:53:56every twist and turn of the hunt is critical. A high-speed battle. And

1:53:56 > 1:53:59these veterinary scientists have now studied it at the finest scale.We

1:53:59 > 1:54:06see the spectacle of hunting on wildlife documentaries, but here we

1:54:06 > 1:54:11have thousands showing what they do, all of the things we do not see,

1:54:11 > 1:54:16hunting at night, undercover, and building up a huge story which we

1:54:16 > 1:54:22can create a computer model to tell us what the effect is.Scientists

1:54:22 > 1:54:31fixed colours to cheetahs and lions and the prey they pursue. Every

1:54:31 > 1:54:34moment of the chase is captured, showing how closely predator and

1:54:34 > 1:54:40prey match in athleticism. It also demonstrated the hunt is about much

1:54:40 > 1:54:46more than speed. By outmanoeuvring a predator, turning at the very last

1:54:46 > 1:54:54minute, and antelope can control the chase and evade capture. Only about

1:54:54 > 1:54:5950% of cheetah hunts and in a kill. This unpacks the evolution between

1:54:59 > 1:55:04predator and pay. The balance of the survival of the cats and what they

1:55:04 > 1:55:11eat. Lions and cheetahs are vulnerable to extinction. This study

1:55:11 > 1:55:16shows how find that lying is between life and death in the wild.We have

1:55:16 > 1:55:21checked them. -- line. We have an in-depth understanding of their

1:55:21 > 1:55:27requirements in their habitat. It is important We research the prey they

1:55:27 > 1:55:35eat and how much range they need. It all links into their conservation.

1:55:35 > 1:55:39These are the extreme athletes of the animal kingdom. And tracking

1:55:39 > 1:55:47every step really unravels the drama of each chase.

1:55:47 > 1:55:49of each chase. Victoria Gill, BBC News.

1:55:49 > 1:55:57Stunning images. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful. We are 35

1:59:18 > 1:59:19Bye for now.

1:59:40 > 1:59:41Hello.

1:59:41 > 1:59:44This is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

1:59:44 > 1:59:46The Culture Secretary welcomes the closure of the Club

1:59:46 > 1:59:51at the centre of claims hostesses were groped at a charity event.

1:59:51 > 1:59:54Matt Hancock tells this programme the behaviour reported

1:59:54 > 1:59:56at the President's Club dinner should be investigated

1:59:56 > 2:00:01by the charities watchdog.

2:00:01 > 2:00:06We need to make sure that we don't have events like this that are

2:00:06 > 2:00:14clearly so... Frankly, so sexist.

2:00:24 > 2:00:27Good morning, it's Thursday 25th January.

2:00:27 > 2:00:30Also this morning: A crucial day at the Australian open

2:00:30 > 2:00:35for Britain's Kyle Edmund.

2:00:35 > 2:00:44It has been an amazing week for Kyle already, and he will soon go for a

2:00:44 > 2:00:46place in his first grand slam semifinal. The semifinal starts at

2:00:46 > 2:00:548:30am.

2:00:54 > 2:01:01Theresa May will tell world leaders at Davos that they must do more to

2:01:01 > 2:01:08remove terrorism online. The pay-TV firm sky has signed up another

2:01:08 > 2:01:14365,000 new customers.

2:01:15 > 2:01:17365,000 new customers. We'll be looking at what next for the TV

2:01:17 > 2:01:22giant. And Matt has the weather.

2:01:22 > 2:01:28A day of sunshine, showers and maybe the odd rainbow. Though forecasting

2:01:28 > 2:01:3715 minutes.

2:01:37 > 2:01:40In the past hour the Culture Secretary, Matt Hancock,

2:01:40 > 2:01:42has told this programme he welcomes the closure of the Presidents Club.

2:01:42 > 2:01:44The charity came under pressure after women employed

2:01:44 > 2:01:47as hostesses at a dinner held by the organisation,

2:01:47 > 2:01:48said that they were groped.

2:01:48 > 2:01:50Meanwhile, the Education Minister Nadhim Zahawi has been summoned

2:01:50 > 2:01:53by the Government chief whip to explain his version of events.

2:01:53 > 2:01:55The minister said he felt uncomfortable and left the function

2:01:55 > 2:01:57early as Alexandra McKenizie reports.

2:01:57 > 2:02:00The annual Presidents Club charity dinner for men only

2:02:00 > 2:02:02at the Dorchester Hotel.

2:02:02 > 2:02:06Women were hired as table hostesses.

2:02:06 > 2:02:09There were claims they were groped, they were made to were revealing

2:02:09 > 2:02:17outfits and specific underwear and their phones were confiscated.

2:02:24 > 2:02:29One of the event organisers, David Mellor, resigned his position.

2:02:29 > 2:02:30One of those summoned

2:02:30 > 2:02:31to explain his attendance

2:02:31 > 2:02:32was Education Minister Nadhim Zahawi.

2:02:32 > 2:02:35He was called in to see the Chief Whip.

2:02:35 > 2:02:43On social media, Mr Zahawi said: He didn't say long,

2:02:52 > 2:02:55The Charity commission said it was investigating the claims as a matter

2:02:55 > 2:02:59of urgency.The behaviour described as no place in a charity. We were in

2:02:59 > 2:03:03touch with the trustees straightaway, asking for an

2:03:03 > 2:03:06explanation. They have since confirmed that they intend to come

2:03:06 > 2:03:13close -- to close the charity. That doesn't excuse their actions whilst

2:03:13 > 2:03:17running the charity, and if the charity is closing, we have an

2:03:17 > 2:03:25important role in ensuring it does so in and it -- in an orderly way.

2:03:25 > 2:03:27The Presidents Club, which said it was appalled

2:03:27 > 2:03:29by the allegations surrounding the event last week,

2:03:29 > 2:03:31said it would distribute remaining funds to children's charities before

2:03:31 > 2:03:33shutting down in the wake of the scandal.

2:03:33 > 2:03:34Alexandra Mackenzie, BBC News.

2:03:34 > 2:03:38Earlier, the Culture Secretary, Matt Hancock, give us this reaction.

2:03:38 > 2:03:42I'm very glad this club has been shut down and part of that shutting

2:03:42 > 2:03:45it down is part of a wider change that we need to make sure that

2:03:45 > 2:03:50you have genuine equality of opportunity in this country,

2:03:50 > 2:03:58in our country and making sure men and women are treated equally

2:04:09 > 2:04:13in our country and making sure men , ==and women are treated equally.

2:04:13 > 2:04:16It wasn't a surprise to a lot of people that these revelations came

2:04:16 > 2:04:24out, shocking as they are. Why was covered minister there?

2:04:24 > 2:04:26covered minister there?It was a charity fundraiser and he left early

2:04:26 > 2:04:30because he felt uncomfortable with it. That is what I was dull. I also

2:04:30 > 2:04:33understand he has spoken to the Chief Whip and had a conversation

2:04:33 > 2:04:38about it. There was a broader point, which is that we need to make sure

2:04:38 > 2:04:44that we don't have events like this, that are clearly so... Frankly, so

2:04:44 > 2:04:48sexist.

2:04:48 > 2:04:51Theresa May will use a speech at the World Economic Forum

2:04:51 > 2:04:53in Switzerland to put more pressure on technology companies

2:04:53 > 2:04:57like Facebook and Twitter to tackle extremist material online.

2:04:57 > 2:05:00She'll be speaking in Davos just hours before she sits down with US

2:05:00 > 2:05:02President Donald Trump, their first meeting since

2:05:02 > 2:05:05she criticised him for sharing racist videos tweeted

2:05:05 > 2:05:06by the far-right group, Britain First.

2:05:06 > 2:05:14Our business correspondent Sally Bundock is in Davos.

2:05:15 > 2:05:20-- Simon Jack is in Davos for us. Sketch out what we are expected to

2:05:20 > 2:05:26hear from Theresa May.She will be speaking at around 2pm local time,

2:05:26 > 2:05:301pm your time. Advisers tell us she will use this opportunity to tell

2:05:30 > 2:05:35the crowd here that technology companies have to really do more to

2:05:35 > 2:05:40ensure that extremist content, whether it be paedophilia, or

2:05:44 > 2:05:47to the United Nations beach where she said the target should be two

2:05:47 > 2:05:51hours to do that. Ultimately, it should automatically exclude itself,

2:05:51 > 2:05:56and they should do that by using developments in artificial

2:05:56 > 2:05:59intelligence. She's also going to say that Britain wants to be a

2:05:59 > 2:06:03leading light in the development of artificial intelligence. Everyone

2:06:03 > 2:06:07thinks that these are important issues. Whether they are top of mind

2:06:07 > 2:06:13at the moment is a question. We are expecting Donald Trump to arrive,

2:06:13 > 2:06:19and I think she will have to go some way to outshine the darling of the

2:06:19 > 2:06:22conference so far, Emmanuel Macron, and all eyes will be on President

2:06:22 > 2:06:27Trump when he arrives this evening. Talk us through that a little bit

2:06:27 > 2:06:31more, Simon. Davos is the most extraordinary place, isn't it? And

2:06:31 > 2:06:37one of the problems were any Prime Minister is that, around the corner,

2:06:37 > 2:06:39there is always someone more important about to make a speech.

2:06:39 > 2:06:42The result was a more important person then you around the next

2:06:42 > 2:06:52corner, even if you are ahead of like Theresa May! She will talk to

2:06:52 > 2:06:58Donald Trump on the sidelines and we are told they will -- even if you

2:06:58 > 2:07:06are a head of state like Theresa May! They had a spat about promoting

2:07:06 > 2:07:09some of that far right stuff that Donald Trump put out there and

2:07:09 > 2:07:14tweeted about. There was a big spat about the embassy and that state

2:07:14 > 2:07:18visit to the UK. Donald Trump saying he didn't want to come because Obama

2:07:18 > 2:07:24did a bad deal unmoved the embassy after the prestige area and moved it

2:07:24 > 2:07:29to a different error in London. An opportunity to patch up and let

2:07:29 > 2:07:33things heal over, and also perhaps get another date in the diary for

2:07:33 > 2:07:36that controversial state visit. Simon, we will leave it there for

2:07:36 > 2:07:37the moment.

2:07:37 > 2:07:40A judge in California has barred a mother and father,

2:07:40 > 2:07:42accused of the imprisonment and torture of their 13 sons

2:07:42 > 2:07:44and daughters, from having any contact with them.

2:07:44 > 2:07:47David and Louise Turpin appeared in court to deny the charges.

2:07:47 > 2:07:49The siblings will now be separated, with the adult children living

2:07:49 > 2:07:51in one location and the six youngsters divided

2:07:51 > 2:07:56between two foster homes.

2:07:56 > 2:07:58Insurers say they will pay more than £30 million to businesses

2:07:58 > 2:08:01which are owed money by Carillion, the failed construction

2:08:01 > 2:08:03and services company.

2:08:03 > 2:08:06Sums between 5000 and several million pounds are being paid out

2:08:06 > 2:08:08but only to the minority of firms which had insurance

2:08:08 > 2:08:11cover against bad debts.

2:08:11 > 2:08:14Carillion went under last week leaving its 30,000 suppliers facing

2:08:14 > 2:08:22an uncertain future.

2:08:45 > 2:08:48Smoking is awful for health, as it greatly increases the risk

2:08:48 > 2:08:50of cancer, heart attack and stroke.

2:08:50 > 2:08:53You may expect cutting down from 20 to one a day would lead to a similar

2:08:53 > 2:08:54reduction in health problems.

2:08:54 > 2:08:58It does for lung cancer, but a study in the British Medical Journal says

2:08:58 > 2:08:59some risks remain high.

2:08:59 > 2:09:01For every 100 middle-aged people who had never smoked,

2:09:01 > 2:09:03five have a heart attack or a stroke each decade.

2:09:03 > 2:09:06A 20 a day habit increases that risk to a higher 12 heart

2:09:06 > 2:09:08attacks or strokes.

2:09:08 > 2:09:13When people cut down drastically and smoke just once a day,

2:09:13 > 2:09:15they would still have eight heart attacks or strokes.

2:09:15 > 2:09:18The team from University College say the solution is to stop completely.

2:09:18 > 2:09:21Even smoking the odd cigarette here and there or one or two a day

2:09:21 > 2:09:25still has a major risk of two common and serious disorders.

2:09:25 > 2:09:28The implication for GPs is that when they deliver smoking cessation

2:09:28 > 2:09:30services to their patients they can raise this information to try

2:09:30 > 2:09:33and encourage smokers in a positive way to completely stop rather

2:09:33 > 2:09:41than merely cut down.

2:09:41 > 2:09:43Researchers think even low levels of tobacco smoke may be altering

2:09:43 > 2:09:47the way the heart, lungs and blood vessels function,

2:09:47 > 2:09:48leading to the increase in risk.

2:09:48 > 2:09:50Cutting back is still better than doing nothing

2:09:50 > 2:09:53but Public Health England say the safest thing to do

2:09:53 > 2:10:01is to quit for good.

2:10:05 > 2:10:08Plans to set up tens of thousands of free water refill

2:10:08 > 2:10:09points across England are being announced today.

2:10:09 > 2:10:11Water UK, which represents water companies and suppliers,

2:10:11 > 2:10:14says it wants to expand a refill scheme first launched in 2015.

2:10:14 > 2:10:17It hopes this will help reduce pollution caused by plastic

2:10:17 > 2:10:19bottles being thrown away.

2:10:19 > 2:10:22I actually know where the spots are where I can refill my water

2:10:22 > 2:10:24bottle so I would not necessarily need it.

2:10:24 > 2:10:26That would be really good, that would be ace, definitely.

2:10:26 > 2:10:28Not a bad idea.

2:10:28 > 2:10:31I think the biggest waste is plastic bottles and coffee

2:10:31 > 2:10:33cups, isn't it?

2:10:33 > 2:10:36I don't know if all companies will be happy doing that,

2:10:36 > 2:10:39but it's an amazing idea.

2:10:39 > 2:10:41Sir Elton John has announced a farewell tour.

2:10:41 > 2:10:44He says he wants to stop touring to spend more time

2:10:44 > 2:10:47with his young children - but only after a 3-year

2:10:47 > 2:10:52extravaganza featuring 300 gigs around the globe,

2:10:52 > 2:10:54as he told our US correspondent Nick Bryant.

2:10:54 > 2:10:57I've been travelling since I was 17 in the back of a van up

2:10:57 > 2:10:59and down the M1.

2:10:59 > 2:11:02Although I travel in the most fantastic way, it's exhausting

2:11:02 > 2:11:03and I don't enjoy it.

2:11:03 > 2:11:04It's a long goodbye.

2:11:04 > 2:11:07It's a long goodbye.

2:11:07 > 2:11:11Three years, 300 shows but I'm really, really looking forward to it

2:11:11 > 2:11:17and they will be happy shows, I won't regret it.

2:11:17 > 2:11:20Britain's Kyle Edmund carries the hopes of a nation

2:11:20 > 2:11:22on his shoulders this morning as he attempts to reach the final

2:11:22 > 2:11:24of the Australian Open.

2:11:24 > 2:11:26The 23-year-old could overtake Andy Murray to become

2:11:26 > 2:11:28the British Number One.

2:11:28 > 2:11:32The match gets under way in the next half hour,

2:11:32 > 2:11:38and somebody who may be feeling the nerves right now

2:11:38 > 2:11:39is Kyle's coach, Mark Hilton.

2:11:39 > 2:11:43He joins us live from the National Tennis Centre in London.

2:11:43 > 2:11:49Are very good morning to you, Mark. What a fantastic day this is for

2:11:49 > 2:11:52Kyle

2:11:52 > 2:11:55What a fantastic day this is for Kyle. What are your thoughts, half

2:11:55 > 2:12:01an hour away from the match?It is very exciting, not only for the

2:12:01 > 2:12:04people who have supported, family and friends, but also for himself. I

2:12:04 > 2:12:08spoke to him yesterday, he is ready to play and help prepare well. He

2:12:08 > 2:12:15has recovered from his match against Grigor

2:12:15 > 2:12:18has recovered from his match against Grigor.What do you know about how

2:12:18 > 2:12:21he goes about that preparation? Players have little things they do

2:12:21 > 2:12:28or don't like to do in the run-up - what is he like?We have had a

2:12:28 > 2:12:32pretty relaxed day yesterday, very much about recovery. He probably

2:12:32 > 2:12:35played about 30-40 minutes on the court. He had a debrief from his

2:12:35 > 2:12:42match and talked a lot about today. He spent a lot of time with friends,

2:12:42 > 2:12:45try to stay relaxed and keep his commitments to a minimum so he will

2:12:45 > 2:12:48be in the best condition to perform. In the immediate run-up, are their

2:12:48 > 2:12:57rituals that he goes through? Players have routines because most

2:12:57 > 2:13:01of their life is spent between a tennis court, hotel room and a gym.

2:13:01 > 2:13:06It is all about routine, and he will have his, keeping it simple, making

2:13:06 > 2:13:09sure he won't overcomplicate things and getting himself prepared to go

2:13:09 > 2:13:14out there and perform.In the way you are speaking, and we often hear

2:13:14 > 2:13:17it from sports coaches, you have that very matter of fact approach to

2:13:17 > 2:13:23what is giving on. You will be aware, though, that the nation as,

2:13:23 > 2:13:27live to Kyle and has got interested in his story. It is wonderful for

2:13:27 > 2:13:31him after all the work that he, you and the team have done, even to get

2:13:31 > 2:13:41to this stage.I think so. Taking it matter-of-factly, he plays a lot

2:13:41 > 2:13:45over the year, has a lot of ups and downs, so it is important to take

2:13:45 > 2:13:48those wins and losses and be level-headed about it, which he is,

2:13:48 > 2:13:52as well as the team around him, whether it is the coaching team, his

2:13:52 > 2:13:57family, who have done a great job keeping him very even and ready to

2:13:57 > 2:14:01go again for another big match.I know that you work in tandem with

2:14:01 > 2:14:05another coach to work with him, and we've heard a little bit more about

2:14:05 > 2:14:10what people are saying is changed this year. You explain for us,

2:14:10 > 2:14:14because a lot of people have said, he has always had amazing shots, and

2:14:14 > 2:14:17people are now familiar with that amazing forehand he has. I don't

2:14:17 > 2:14:21want to be too technical for people who don't follow tennis regularly,

2:14:21 > 2:14:26but the biggest change, they say, is about the confidence in him.He had

2:14:26 > 2:14:30developed some believe. He lost a lot of close matches at the end of

2:14:30 > 2:14:34last year, and he started well in Brisbane, came through some tight

2:14:34 > 2:14:38matches, and it does a lot for that feeling that you can go on the court

2:14:38 > 2:14:42and get through matches and get over the line. I think, having those

2:14:42 > 2:14:45experiences at the start of the year, obviously coming to a close

2:14:45 > 2:14:51five set match at the start against Anderson has been a big catalyst for

2:14:51 > 2:14:55that. It was never about hating shots, it was making decisions in

2:14:55 > 2:15:02the big moments, and he has executed extremely well.You are at the

2:15:02 > 2:15:05tennis centre there - what do you think his success will mean for

2:15:05 > 2:15:10young people? People are saying, who are we going to look to after Andy

2:15:10 > 2:15:15Murray?

2:15:16 > 2:15:20Murray? It will be a big boost for young people looking at the sport.

2:15:20 > 2:15:28Of course. Andy has done a phenomenal job for that, and Kyle is

2:15:28 > 2:15:32a direct reflection of Andy's success. He has spent a lot of time

2:15:32 > 2:15:36with him, and he was a classic example in pre-season this year,

2:15:36 > 2:15:40Kyle took a couple of junior players away who are aspiring to this level

2:15:40 > 2:15:45as well, and I think surrounding yourself with the best can obviously

2:15:45 > 2:15:49up your level, and that has happened with Kyle that way. He has the

2:15:49 > 2:15:53character to give back, and it creates that conveyor belt of

2:15:53 > 2:16:03players that will hopefully be coming through.

2:16:04 > 2:16:08I understand Kyle's parents have not gone to Australia at the moment. Do

2:16:08 > 2:16:13you know where they are watching it? What is happening with the family?

2:16:13 > 2:16:18It must be difficult to watch a game like this.Of course. His matches

2:16:18 > 2:16:21have very much been around the middle of the night over here so it

2:16:21 > 2:16:26has been very much people getting up at all hours to support him. I'm

2:16:26 > 2:16:32aware they are at home together as a family watching him, and taking

2:16:32 > 2:16:36pressure off Kyle is obviously going to be a big thing, and as we

2:16:36 > 2:16:38discussed, it's not about adding more pressure, it's not about

2:16:38 > 2:16:43getting too carried away with the wins and the support they have given

2:16:43 > 2:16:45him, not just in this tournament but through his whole journey has been

2:16:45 > 2:16:51phenomenal really, and it's business as usual and he will go about that

2:16:51 > 2:16:55again today.We very much look forward to the match today, thank

2:16:55 > 2:17:02you for your time today and we wish him well. Mark Hilton, Kyle Edmund's

2:17:02 > 2:17:05coach, thank you. It is funny, sports coaches often have that

2:17:05 > 2:17:10approach, just got to do the job. That is what you do your training

2:17:10 > 2:17:14for. We can be more emotional about it and so can the fans in Melbourne

2:17:14 > 2:17:22and we can get the taste of how they are feeling over there, here is

2:17:22 > 2:17:29Hywel Griffiththe fans have been filling up the Rod Laver arena

2:17:29 > 2:17:34behind me. We spotted a fair number of union Jacks. People admitted when

2:17:34 > 2:17:37they booked their tickets weeks ago they hoped to be cheering on Andy

2:17:37 > 2:17:40Murray but now they have a new name and they have really taken to Kyle

2:17:40 > 2:17:46Edmund. Some of them have watched him at pretty much every match here,

2:17:46 > 2:17:50some of them boasting about Selvie they got with him. The Aussies love

2:17:50 > 2:17:54an underdog so I think many of those will have been impressed by the way

2:17:54 > 2:17:58he has knocked out people far above him in the rankings. He's done it

2:17:58 > 2:18:03with such confidence and composure and he's not been overawed by the

2:18:03 > 2:18:07situation. How he responds to a grand slam semifinal, well, I guess

2:18:07 > 2:18:11we will just have to wait and see. Those around me tell me he's pretty

2:18:11 > 2:18:16relaxed, his mindset has been good, had time to go out for a meal last

2:18:16 > 2:18:19night and posted some pictures on Facebook. I think we will see a

2:18:19 > 2:18:25happy and smiling Kyle Edmund when he takes to centre stage.Good to

2:18:25 > 2:18:31see you, enjoy the sunshine, we will speak to you later. The time is

2:18:31 > 2:18:368:18am. Time to take a look at the weather. Matt has the details.

2:18:36 > 2:18:378:18am. Time to take a look at the weather. Matt has the details. Know

2:18:37 > 2:18:41when it as warm as it is in Melbourne, the high 20s is the

2:18:41 > 2:18:46temperature of there. No-win air is warm this morning, yesterday morning

2:18:46 > 2:18:50we saw temperatures into the teens across England and Wales, a bit of a

2:18:50 > 2:18:54drop this morning, cool start of the day and cooler by and large, cool a

2:18:54 > 2:19:00couple of days on the way, the mild are linked into Storm Georgina, off

2:19:00 > 2:19:04into the north of Europe, this area of cloud will bring wet and windy

2:19:04 > 2:19:09and increasingly mild weather in the weekend but in between we have clear

2:19:09 > 2:19:12skies, showers to the west of the UK and Ireland which will become

2:19:12 > 2:19:17abundant during the day. Showers continue across the north-west

2:19:17 > 2:19:20Highlands, falling snow for one or two and around the Glasgow and

2:19:20 > 2:19:25Edinburgh area it is dry, showers in Northern Ireland, the western

2:19:25 > 2:19:28fringes of England and Wales becoming a bit more widespread with

2:19:28 > 2:19:32showers through the next couple of hours. Much of eastern England is

2:19:32 > 2:19:35dry, although a few showers will be pushing in from the English Channel,

2:19:35 > 2:19:39parts of Sussex and Kent in particular. They will continue to

2:19:39 > 2:19:42come and go through the day. The showers in the west could merge into

2:19:42 > 2:19:47some longer spells of rain, southern Scotland, far south of Scotland,

2:19:47 > 2:19:50northern England and Wales, cloudy conditions this afternoon at times

2:19:50 > 2:19:54and showers could be Evian thundery. The further south and east some of

2:19:54 > 2:19:57you will stay dry throughout the day and not bad through the central belt

2:19:57 > 2:20:05of Scotland either. Around average for this time of year, 6-11d but it

2:20:05 > 2:20:12will feel cool in the breeze, blustery wind blowing. Expects

2:20:12 > 2:20:18showers across England and Wales tonight for Burns night. Showers

2:20:18 > 2:20:24developing across Scotland and northern England, into Pembrokeshire

2:20:24 > 2:20:32this morning. The rest of the UK will be dry, if few mist and fog

2:20:32 > 2:20:34patches, icy start on Friday for some morning showers for the commute

2:20:34 > 2:20:38across eastern counties of England quickly disappearing, the rest of

2:20:38 > 2:20:41the day will be fine, one of the driest of the week. Temperatures

2:20:41 > 2:20:46down on today's values but the wind and sunshine. Shouldn't feel too

2:20:46 > 2:20:51bad. This is what is wedding in the wings for the weekend, the deep area

2:20:51 > 2:20:56of low pressure pushing between us and Iceland into Saturday. Lots of

2:20:56 > 2:20:59strong winds around meaning the band of rain that comes will push from

2:20:59 > 2:21:03west to east quickly, sunshine and showers following, some heavy rain

2:21:03 > 2:21:07for a time in Scotland and we should see severe gales in the far north

2:21:07 > 2:21:12too. Once it goes we continue with milder air into Sunday,

2:21:12 > 2:21:16south-westerly winds dominating, still bringing rain at times, into

2:21:16 > 2:21:20Scotland and around western coasts and hills, which will only add to

2:21:20 > 2:21:22river level is currently running high across the country, but some

2:21:22 > 2:21:26parts of central and eastern England in particular will stay dry and get

2:21:26 > 2:21:33a bit of sunshine, one or two could see temperatures peak at 15 degrees.

2:21:33 > 2:21:38Still not on the chart, is it? It is not but I like to keep you

2:21:38 > 2:21:42waiting. It is a 21 AM.

2:21:42 > 2:21:47Then has results from sky this morning. A good set of figures after

2:21:47 > 2:21:54what has been a tough week for them. -- Ben has the results.

2:21:54 > 2:21:56Good morning, Pay TV firm Sky says revenues were up 5%

2:21:56 > 2:21:59in the last six months, after signing up 365,000

2:21:59 > 2:22:01new customers, taking their total to 23 million.

2:22:01 > 2:22:06This week the regulator blocked the takeover of Sky by 21st Century Fox

2:22:06 > 2:22:09saying the deal could damage customer choice and give the Murdoch

2:22:09 > 2:22:14family that owned parts of it too much control over news in the UK. It

2:22:14 > 2:22:17signalled the end of the humble satellite dish on the side of your

2:22:17 > 2:22:20house, saying instead it plans to offer all of its channels and

2:22:20 > 2:22:22content online.

2:22:22 > 2:22:25Around three million people fall victim to scams every year -

2:22:25 > 2:22:29costing us up to £10 billion.

2:22:29 > 2:22:32So, Trading Standards are launching a new scheme to help spot scammers.

2:22:32 > 2:22:37Just 5% of scams are reported to the authorities -

2:22:37 > 2:22:40like the police or Trading Standards.

2:22:40 > 2:22:43So, they want more people to be aware of the problem and know

2:22:43 > 2:22:44how to deal with it.

2:22:44 > 2:22:46The number of teenagers holding a driving licence has fallen

2:22:46 > 2:22:50by almost 40% in two decades.

2:22:50 > 2:22:52The Government-backed research revealed as more people communicate

2:22:52 > 2:22:55online than face to face, not owning a car is likely

2:22:59 > 2:23:00to be the new normal.

2:23:00 > 2:23:03It also blames new technology allowing people to share cars

2:23:03 > 2:23:07and hail taxis as well as the rising cost of car ownership.

2:23:07 > 2:23:10You are up-to-date, I will see you soon.

2:23:10 > 2:23:14We all know that one of the best things you can do

2:23:14 > 2:23:16to improve your life expectancy is to stop smoking.

2:23:16 > 2:23:17And if you've battled your way from twenty cigarettes

2:23:19 > 2:23:22And if you've battled your way from 20 cigarettes

2:23:22 > 2:23:24a day to just one or two, you might think you've

2:23:24 > 2:23:25pretty much cracked it.

2:23:25 > 2:23:28But a new study shows that smoking even one-a-day nearly doubles

2:23:28 > 2:23:31the risk of suffering a stroke or heart attack in middle age.

2:23:31 > 2:23:33Professor Allan Hackshaw researched the figures, which are published

2:23:33 > 2:23:34in the British Medical Journal.

2:23:34 > 2:23:36He joins us from our London studio.

2:23:36 > 2:23:43Good morning. Thank you for joining us. The risks of smoking just one

2:23:43 > 2:23:48cigarette a day compared to, say, smoking 15-20 a day, are they still

2:23:48 > 2:23:51significantly lower? It's certainly lower but not

2:23:51 > 2:23:54anywhere near as low as smokers think it's going to be when they cut

2:23:54 > 2:24:00down. For cancer, for example, the risk is greatly reduced but the risk

2:24:00 > 2:24:07for heart attack and stroke is not and people would have to stop

2:24:07 > 2:24:13completely.Tell us how this is going to encourage, this research,

2:24:13 > 2:24:17is going to encourage people to cut down completely. To be fair you hear

2:24:17 > 2:24:21a lot of different statistics about whether smoking one or two, or

2:24:21 > 2:24:25however long you have given up which contributes to better health during

2:24:25 > 2:24:29middle age, how will you encourage people to quit completely? By saying

2:24:29 > 2:24:33that you will get rid of most of your risk of heart attacks and

2:24:33 > 2:24:37strokes, and the thing about those two disorders is the risk of those

2:24:37 > 2:24:44go away very quickly.A few years after quitting. By cutting down to a

2:24:44 > 2:24:48few cigarettes a day you get great benefits on cancer risk, so it

2:24:48 > 2:24:52should be encouraged and smokers have done well in doing so over the

2:24:52 > 2:24:55years. The thing is to go one step further and try and cut out

2:24:55 > 2:25:01completely and use various aims to help you do so.Let's talk about the

2:25:01 > 2:25:05facts in terms of numbers. If people have something tangible to hold

2:25:05 > 2:25:10onto. Say if you quit smoking at 30 years old completely, when do the

2:25:10 > 2:25:14real benefits, ie your risks of ill-health in middle age, become

2:25:14 > 2:25:20closer to those of someone who hadn't smoked?So, for heart disease

2:25:20 > 2:25:25and stroke up to about five years later. For cancer about ten years

2:25:25 > 2:25:31later. If you stop at about 30 or 35 years old, a large part of your risk

2:25:31 > 2:25:37goes away by the time you are 50, 55 years old.You have mentioned

2:25:37 > 2:25:41alternatives. Isn't the jury still out on e-cigarettes, vaping, in

2:25:41 > 2:25:50terms of how safe they are?Area store some debate over it, people

2:25:50 > 2:25:53unsure how safe they are but I and others think they cannot be anywhere

2:25:53 > 2:25:58near as dangerous as cigarettes and from our study smoking a couple day

2:25:58 > 2:26:03has substantial harm is for heart and I can't imagine e-cigarettes

2:26:03 > 2:26:06being anywhere near as bad. There are some studies ongoing now looking

2:26:06 > 2:26:13at Somerby long-term effects of e-cigarettes -- looking at some of

2:26:13 > 2:26:16the long-term effects of e-cigarettes and it could be seen as

2:26:16 > 2:26:19an alternative to help people cut down first and then cut it out

2:26:19 > 2:26:23completely.In terms of nicotine what is the difference? If you say

2:26:23 > 2:26:26only cutting down to one or two cigarettes a day isn't good enough

2:26:26 > 2:26:33but you can have e-cigarettes, or vapes surely that's the same in

2:26:33 > 2:26:36terms of nicotine?You get the nicotine but you haven't got the

2:26:36 > 2:26:40other horrible toxins you get with cigarettes, e-cigarettes are not

2:26:40 > 2:26:46completely safe. But they haven't got anywhere near as many chemicals

2:26:46 > 2:26:52as you have in cigarette smoke, even smoking a few a day.Professor Allan

2:26:52 > 2:26:56Hackshaw from University College London, thank you for your time this

2:26:56 > 2:30:19morning. The time is 8:26am. Time to get the news,

2:30:19 > 2:30:25Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga.

2:30:34 > 2:30:40Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

2:30:40 > 2:30:43The Culture Secretary says he welcomes the closure

2:30:43 > 2:30:49of the scandal-hit charity, the Presidents Club.

2:30:49 > 2:30:55I'm very glad that this club has been shut down and I think that

2:30:55 > 2:31:01shutting down is part of a wider change that we need to make sure

2:31:01 > 2:31:05that you have genuine equality of opportunity in this country, our

2:31:05 > 2:31:09country, and making sure that men and women are treated equally, and I

2:31:09 > 2:31:13think you see this across a range of different areas, like making sure we

2:31:13 > 2:31:19have equal pay is still unfinished business, and there is more to do.

2:31:19 > 2:31:22The education Minister Nadhim Zahawi has been summoned by the Chief Whip

2:31:22 > 2:31:27to explain his version of events at the men-only charity dinner. The

2:31:27 > 2:31:38minister said he

2:31:41 > 2:31:43felt uncomfortable and left the event early.The Charity Commission

2:31:43 > 2:31:45says it is investigating the allegations as a matter of urgency.

2:31:45 > 2:31:47I must be clear, charities and fundraisers are horrified by what

2:31:47 > 2:31:50they have heard, the charity sector is reeling from this and the

2:31:50 > 2:31:52response of charity leaders and fundraisers has been very strong in

2:31:52 > 2:31:54saying this behaviour has absolutely no place in charity, that is a

2:31:54 > 2:31:58really strong message from the regulator and the charity sector.

2:31:58 > 2:32:00Theresa May will use a speech at the World Economic Forum

2:32:00 > 2:32:02in Switzerland to put more pressure on technology companies

2:32:02 > 2:32:05like Facebook and Twitter to tackle extremist material online.

2:32:05 > 2:32:08She'll be speaking in Davos just hours before she sits down with US

2:32:08 > 2:32:10President Donald Trump, their first meeting since

2:32:10 > 2:32:12she criticised him for sharing racist videos tweeted

2:32:12 > 2:32:18by the far-right group Britain First.

2:32:18 > 2:32:21A judge in California has barred a mother and father,

2:32:21 > 2:32:23accused of the imprisonment and torture of their 13 sons

2:32:23 > 2:32:25and daughters, from having any contact with them.

2:32:25 > 2:32:29David and Louise Turpin appeared in court to deny the charges.

2:32:29 > 2:32:32The siblings will now be separated, with the adult children living

2:32:32 > 2:32:34in one location and the six youngsters divided

2:32:34 > 2:32:42between two foster homes.

2:32:42 > 2:32:45Insurers say they will pay more than £30-million to businesses

2:32:45 > 2:32:47which are owed money by Carillion, the failed construction

2:32:47 > 2:32:48and services company.

2:32:48 > 2:32:51Sums between 5000 and several million pounds are being paid out,

2:32:51 > 2:32:53but only to the minority of firms which had insurance

2:32:53 > 2:32:54cover against bad debts.

2:32:54 > 2:32:57Carillion went under last week, leaving its 30,000 suppliers facing

2:32:57 > 2:33:01an uncertain future.

2:33:01 > 2:33:04Scientists say smoking just one cigarette a day is much more

2:33:04 > 2:33:07dangerous than previously thought. The team in University College

2:33:07 > 2:33:11London said even low levels of tobacco smoke may be altering the

2:33:11 > 2:33:14way the heart, lungs and blood vessels function, leaving you at

2:33:14 > 2:33:19higher risk of heart attack and stroke. They say people should give

2:33:19 > 2:33:23up, rather than cut down.

2:33:23 > 2:33:28There has been controversy at this year's camel beauty contest in Saudi

2:33:28 > 2:33:31Arabia, a dozen animals banned because their handlers used Botox to

2:33:31 > 2:33:37make them better looking. So, this is the annual contest which

2:33:37 > 2:33:42sees judges rate the size of the camels' lips, cheeks, head and

2:33:42 > 2:33:50knees. No surprise there is a temptation to cheat, the competition

2:33:50 > 2:33:57has a prize fund of £40 million. Look at that.

2:33:57 > 2:34:04Obviously had worked, that one. I'm just looking at your lips, go

2:34:04 > 2:34:13cheeks, your head, just to see how you judge someone on these features.

2:34:13 > 2:34:18Apparently these are not particularly uncommon for Botox and,

2:34:18 > 2:34:27we learned that today. Did that happen today? Wednesday is

2:34:27 > 2:34:31usually hump day. You are looking at me blankly. I read about it in the

2:34:31 > 2:34:37paper, a lot of actresses get Botox in the knees. It is my hands that

2:34:37 > 2:34:42showed the age. In general terms I'm sure that is

2:34:42 > 2:34:49true. A big hole has been dubbed! Coming

2:34:49 > 2:34:53up this morning... Kyle Edmund has walked on to court to start perhaps

2:34:53 > 2:34:56the biggest match of his career so we will be talking to teachers from

2:34:56 > 2:35:02his old school, teachers and pupils there glued to the semifinal of the

2:35:02 > 2:35:09Australian open. Also, amazing pictures, the extreme

2:35:09 > 2:35:13athlete of the animal kingdom, when it comes to hunting prey fastest is

2:35:13 > 2:35:23not necessarily best. # Goodbye yellow Brick Road...

2:35:23 > 2:35:28He is saying goodbye to touring, Elton John says he will quit it but

2:35:28 > 2:35:32there are 300 more shows to go before he decides, he says, to spend

2:35:32 > 2:35:40more time with his children. That is all coming up later on.

2:35:40 > 2:35:43Sonali is here now, set the scene for us.

2:35:43 > 2:35:47We have been counting down all morning, both of the players are on

2:35:47 > 2:35:51the court. Marin Cilic has been here before, for but US Open, he was in

2:35:51 > 2:35:57the final of Wimbledon last year so he has done this before. This is the

2:35:57 > 2:36:00biggest it off Kyle Edmund's life, he had never got past the fourth

2:36:00 > 2:36:04round of a grand slam and he is in the semifinal of the Australian

2:36:04 > 2:36:06open. So what are they doing now, they

2:36:06 > 2:36:10have walked onto the court? They have done the interviews, they

2:36:10 > 2:36:14are having a little warm up, probably another five minutes to go

2:36:14 > 2:36:19before they start for money. Usual output for Kyle Edmund, the

2:36:19 > 2:36:27pink and the black? This is when they walked out.

2:36:27 > 2:36:33Must be such a great atmosphere. They got a really warm reception.

2:36:33 > 2:36:39Such a big moment for Kyle. Roger Federer says he hopes he enjoys it,

2:36:39 > 2:36:43the only time you does not have that level of expectation and pressure, I

2:36:43 > 2:36:46hope he is not feeling any pressure and enjoying it, he looked like he

2:36:46 > 2:36:51was enjoying it. We spoke to his coach early on, a

2:36:51 > 2:36:53very businesslike attitude, which of course they have to have?

2:36:53 > 2:36:57They said he hoped he was not over exerting himself yesterday, just

2:36:57 > 2:37:02with friends, having fun. It is a mental game. The women's final has

2:37:02 > 2:37:07already been decided this morning, Simona Halep was victorious over

2:37:07 > 2:37:10Angelique Kerber, she will meet Caroline Wozniacki, the world number

2:37:10 > 2:37:17two, who beat Elise Martin in the Australian open semifinal.

2:37:17 > 2:37:21The League Cup is the only domestic competition Arsene Wenger has not

2:37:21 > 2:37:25won in his 21 years at Arsenal but they took a big step towards the

2:37:25 > 2:37:28trophy last night after beating Chelsea. The first leg ended

2:37:28 > 2:37:31goalless but Chelsea had a goal disallowed by the time Eden Hazard

2:37:31 > 2:37:37put them ahead. Arsenal soon back on level, double deflection off Nacho

2:37:37 > 2:37:43Monreal's header made it 1-1 after 11 minutes. The winner took longer

2:37:43 > 2:37:46to arrive, granny Jack poking it home to send his side to Wembley to

2:37:46 > 2:37:52face Manchester city in the final next month.

2:37:52 > 2:37:59In the end, I would say, yes, it was a little bit a deflected goal the

2:37:59 > 2:38:03first and second one as well was a bit lucky, but I felt we controlled

2:38:03 > 2:38:08well the game in the second half. Rangers jumped above Aberdeen into

2:38:08 > 2:38:10second place in the Scottish Premiership after beating them to

2:38:10 > 2:38:14know at Ibrox but Hibs are now just five points behind both sides after

2:38:14 > 2:38:20beating Dundee away. One goal enough to seal victory. Hearts beat

2:38:20 > 2:38:24Hamilton and bottom side Ross County lost to Motherwell. Celtic did not

2:38:24 > 2:38:30play but are still 11 points clear at the top. And finally to a new

2:38:30 > 2:38:33club crest that has not gone down well with football supporters, this

2:38:33 > 2:38:37is the badge that leaves United unveiled yesterday, the lead salute

2:38:37 > 2:38:41which, over the decades, the club says has been an expression of the

2:38:41 > 2:38:44passion connecting fans of the pitch with players on. They said they

2:38:44 > 2:38:50spent six months asking fans their thoughts about what the badge should

2:38:50 > 2:38:53be before reaching the end result but reaction on social media has

2:38:53 > 2:38:57forced the club into a rethink. These were the thoughts of the

2:38:57 > 2:39:01times' sports writer Henry Winter. One fan on social media noticed a

2:39:01 > 2:39:06striking resemblance to a well-known indigestion treatment. So the club

2:39:06 > 2:39:09are going back to the drawing board and will reopen the consultation

2:39:09 > 2:39:13process. It is hard to get these things right, isn't it? Not always,

2:39:13 > 2:39:23it depends. Musgrove it is like mascots, sometimes they attract

2:39:23 > 2:39:27attention. Firm objections, though, I think they had 60,000, that is a

2:39:27 > 2:39:30lot. There might be other to like it as well? There might be, they are

2:39:30 > 2:39:36just not voicing their opinions. The tennis has started, Marin Cilic is

2:39:36 > 2:39:45serving. Commentary on BBC radio 5 Live, highlights on BBC Two, and

2:39:45 > 2:39:48there are the text updates as well, if you are at work I don't want to

2:39:48 > 2:39:54get anyone fired... It is live text on the BBC sport website, like if

2:39:54 > 2:40:01you were watching it live on Twitter, comments from fans... Kyle

2:40:01 > 2:40:09Edmund Ford e-15 up. I cannot sit here all day! How would you feel

2:40:09 > 2:40:13about walking into a shop or cafe and saying, could you refill my

2:40:13 > 2:40:16water bottle for me, please?

2:40:16 > 2:40:18Water UK, which represents water companies and suppliers,

2:40:18 > 2:40:20is announcing plans to encourage tens of thousands of businesses

2:40:20 > 2:40:23in England to open their doors to passers-by who need a top-up.

2:40:23 > 2:40:26They're hoping it will drastically reduce pollution caused by plastic

2:40:26 > 2:40:29bottles, as Breakfast's Tim Muffett reports.

2:40:29 > 2:40:33Across Bristol, since 2015, businesses have been inviting people

2:40:33 > 2:40:39in not to spend money but to refill water bottles for free.

2:40:39 > 2:40:42People want really practical ways of how they can stop using as much

2:40:42 > 2:40:45single-use plastic in their lives and refill is a really obvious way

2:40:45 > 2:40:51of doing that.

2:40:51 > 2:40:54Natalie Fee set up the scheme - an app tells people were refills

2:40:54 > 2:40:55are available, as do these signs.

2:40:55 > 2:41:03I think it's great as a way of not using as much plastic.

2:41:03 > 2:41:06It's a nice, easy thing to do, increases footfall to the cafe.

2:41:06 > 2:41:08There are now 200 refill points across Bristol.

2:41:08 > 2:41:12The scheme spread to other places including Durham,

2:41:12 > 2:41:19Norwich and Brighton, but it's about to get much bigger.

2:41:19 > 2:41:27Every water company, by September this year,

2:41:28 > 2:41:31is going to draw up what they can do to sign up

2:41:31 > 2:41:33more businesses to provide free refill points.

2:41:33 > 2:41:35We want tens of thousands of refill points by 2021,

2:41:35 > 2:41:38we think we can take tens of millions of plastic bottles out

2:41:38 > 2:41:39of the waste stream.

2:41:39 > 2:41:41So more of this, less, it's hoped, of this.

2:41:41 > 2:41:44It's just horrible down here, along the banks of the River Avon,

2:41:44 > 2:41:46and there are hundreds of plastic bottles down

2:41:46 > 2:41:47here, it's disgusting.

2:41:47 > 2:41:49So many of them are drinking water bottles.

2:41:49 > 2:41:52Your project, your initiative, is going to be run on a national

2:41:52 > 2:41:54scale - that must be very exciting?

2:41:54 > 2:42:01It is, yeah.

2:42:05 > 2:42:08For this to really work, it needs to be on every high street,

2:42:08 > 2:42:16in every shop and cafe.

2:42:16 > 2:42:20In the UK, we buy more than 1.7 billion litres of plain

2:42:20 > 2:42:23bottled water every year, according to the Grocer magazine.

2:42:23 > 2:42:25For the first time sales are outstripping that of cola,

2:42:25 > 2:42:28but soon it will be far simpler to refill a bottle with tap water,

2:42:28 > 2:42:30what effect will that have on demand for these?

2:42:30 > 2:42:38I don't think it's going to have a significant impact...

2:42:39 > 2:42:41Kinvara Carey runs the Natural Hydration Council,

2:42:41 > 2:42:43set up and supported by companies that produce bottled water.

2:42:43 > 2:42:46Bottled water is different to tap water in the sense

2:42:46 > 2:42:48that it is naturally sourced, it's not chemically treated,

2:42:48 > 2:42:50and a lot of people choose it for those reasons

2:42:50 > 2:42:51or for taste reasons.

2:42:51 > 2:42:54The Natural Hydration Council said it backs the refill scheme as it

2:42:54 > 2:42:57wants more people to drink water, but it believes disposing of bottles

2:42:57 > 2:42:58responsibly is a bigger issue.

2:42:58 > 2:43:01The bottles themselves are 100% recyclable -

2:43:01 > 2:43:03the bottle, the label, the lid.

2:43:03 > 2:43:08Whether it's recyclable or not really isn't the point.

2:43:08 > 2:43:11Half of the plastic bottles used in the UK aren't getting recycled

2:43:11 > 2:43:14and the majority of them are escaping the waste system

2:43:14 > 2:43:15and ending up in places like these.

2:43:15 > 2:43:18Ending plastic pollution will require major change.

2:43:18 > 2:43:22Natalie hopes that's one step closer.

2:43:22 > 2:43:28Tim Muffet, BBC News.

2:43:28 > 2:43:30Chris Sherrington is Head of Environmental Policy

2:43:30 > 2:43:33and Economics at a consultancy and Jan Maskell is an

2:43:33 > 2:43:36occupational psychologist.

2:43:36 > 2:43:40So you specialise in behaviour patterns generally? Chris, can you

2:43:40 > 2:43:45give a sense of the scale of the problem first of all?In terms of

2:43:45 > 2:43:48overall plastics entering the environment, one of the key issues

2:43:48 > 2:43:54at the moment, globally about 12 million tonnes each year. In the UK

2:43:54 > 2:43:57we have pretty good waste collection, we still lose quite a

2:43:57 > 2:44:03lot. On consumption, about 35 million plastic bottles consumed

2:44:03 > 2:44:09every day.When you hear figures like this, Jan, they don't sound

2:44:09 > 2:44:13particularly new, we have been talking about it, Blue Planet has

2:44:13 > 2:44:16shown a lot, highlighting the plastic in the oceans, why hasn't

2:44:16 > 2:44:21all been done about it?That is a good question. I think a lot of it

2:44:21 > 2:44:25is driven by industry and what is the norm, and what has become the

2:44:25 > 2:44:32norm is for people to buy a bottle of plastic -- it plastic bottle of

2:44:32 > 2:44:35water, and then to throw it away, so that is part of our culture, very

2:44:35 > 2:44:40much take, dispose of it, rather than thinking about the life cycle

2:44:40 > 2:44:45of something, and thinking, how can we reuse materials that we have got?

2:44:45 > 2:44:48The fingers, it is all very well having the facts in front of us but

2:44:48 > 2:44:54the point is now that Water UK wants us to feel free to go in and ask for

2:44:54 > 2:44:57a refill of water, I don't think everyone will feel comfortable about

2:44:57 > 2:45:01it, we asked a few people how they felt coming here is an example of

2:45:01 > 2:45:06what they said.

2:45:08 > 2:45:15what they said.I don't tend to buy bottled water.I normally buy them

2:45:15 > 2:45:19when I am on the way and when I am thirsty, I normally refill them as

2:45:19 > 2:45:25well and use them for a couple of days.I reuse water bottles but I

2:45:25 > 2:45:29don't think it is a good idea, whenever I use it, I feel like the

2:45:29 > 2:45:33taste of the water is different than the water that was in the bottle

2:45:33 > 2:45:39before.We have water dispensers at every depot around the country, so I

2:45:39 > 2:45:44thought up my water.This is glass, obviously, bit of silicon

2:45:44 > 2:45:49protection. We work in the gym, so we can referral it in the gym.

2:45:49 > 2:45:52Picking up on a couple of those thoughts, talking about the taste of

2:45:52 > 2:45:56water being different, when she refills a plastic bottle... A couple

2:45:56 > 2:45:59of elements to that, it might taste different but the other is the sense

2:45:59 > 2:46:04that people have that somehow, there is something dangerous about reusing

2:46:04 > 2:46:09plastic bottle, what can you tell us about that?There is concern, we

2:46:09 > 2:46:15have heard, there is potential for chemicals to get involved. There

2:46:15 > 2:46:20used to be a chemical that was in some plastics called but in the

2:46:20 > 2:46:23water bottles we have that is not the case in terms of single use

2:46:23 > 2:46:27plastic bottles we have. -- that was in some plastics called BPA. There

2:46:27 > 2:46:31is nothing to suggest it is dangerous.The problem is, once that

2:46:31 > 2:46:35is in the psyche, that is a big deterrent, that is fundamental, if

2:46:35 > 2:46:41people are not prepared to refill a plastic bottle, it is not going to

2:46:41 > 2:46:47happen.Part of the issue is how easy it is to do things, and making

2:46:47 > 2:46:51this behaviour change easy. And encouraging people to have reusable

2:46:51 > 2:46:54plastic bottles as we saw in clips there, rather than reusing the

2:46:54 > 2:46:59disposable ones, having your own bottle, you can make it easy for

2:46:59 > 2:47:04yourself to carry that around all the time and reuse it.Isn't it odd

2:47:04 > 2:47:08having a plastic bottle to replace plastic bottles...But it is one

2:47:08 > 2:47:14that you can use time after time, designed to last a lifetime,

2:47:14 > 2:47:17roughly, a plastic bottle, like the one you have got there, it would

2:47:17 > 2:47:21last a lifetime.Have you done the thing where you go into a cafe, a

2:47:21 > 2:47:26shop, and you ask for a refill?Yes, and there is a mixed response,

2:47:26 > 2:47:32because I usually use my copy cup mug to ask for some hot water, and I

2:47:32 > 2:47:36gets different responses.This is a place where you are not otherwise

2:47:36 > 2:47:44buying something?-- coffee cup.I have offered to buy hot water?

2:47:44 > 2:47:49Whatever price they put on it.How does that conversation go?It

2:47:49 > 2:47:54varies, it varies.You ask for hot water.And they say, yes, here you

2:47:54 > 2:47:59are. And if they say no, I will pay for it. I have offered... I let them

2:47:59 > 2:48:08dictate the price!How much have you paid?50p. It is about

2:48:08 > 2:48:14encouraging... Looking at behaviour change, what you could look at is

2:48:14 > 2:48:19the service provider changing their behaviour. Rather than saying, would

2:48:19 > 2:48:24you like a pastry with your copy, they say, can I feel your reusable

2:48:24 > 2:48:30mug.I think the other thing to note is, you don't have to have a plastic

2:48:30 > 2:48:35one, you can have stainless steel as well. Or a glass bottle. The beauty

2:48:35 > 2:48:40of the refill scheme, you don't need a bottle at all, ideally, have a

2:48:40 > 2:48:45network of places where you can fill up a glass in the cafe, for you.But

2:48:45 > 2:48:50we are all on the go. We don't want to stop.Think about how Italians

2:48:50 > 2:48:56drink copy, they don't have big takeaway cups, quick espresso, they

2:48:56 > 2:49:00go, same thing here.It has got us talking. Thank you very much for

2:49:00 > 2:49:10joining us.

2:49:11 > 2:49:12Time for the last

2:49:12 > 2:49:18look at the weather forecast. Following yesterday's rain, too much

2:49:18 > 2:49:24water in some rivers. Flood levels in Dumfries. And in the centre of

2:49:24 > 2:49:27York, with the River Ouse. More rain to come this weekend.

2:49:30 > 2:49:34Area cloud is currently over the Atlantic, there it is behind me,

2:49:34 > 2:49:40this is from Storm Georgina, but for the time being, clumps of cloud,

2:49:40 > 2:49:44with us, before clear skies come in later on tonight. Shannon was mainly

2:49:44 > 2:49:48in western areas, some of those a little on the heavy side, a bit

2:49:48 > 2:49:51wintry on the higher ground in Scotland. Eastern areas continue,

2:49:51 > 2:49:55heavy showers towards Sussex and Kent and one or two showers making

2:49:55 > 2:49:59it to the east. Most of the showers this afternoon will be across

2:49:59 > 2:50:05western areas, younger spells of rain. Lots of cloud, bit of

2:50:05 > 2:50:10brightness in between. Some parts will stay dry, some parts of East

2:50:10 > 2:50:15Anglia should stay dry, during much of today. Temperatures on the cool

2:50:15 > 2:50:19side, and a few showers around initially, but as we go into the

2:50:19 > 2:50:24early hours, they will come to confined to eastern areas. Many

2:50:24 > 2:50:29other areas will be dry and clear, mist and fog and more widely some

2:50:29 > 2:50:34frost. Ice around as well. Across eastern England, bit more cloudy,

2:50:34 > 2:50:39one or two showers, wind easing down. Brightest day of the week

2:50:39 > 2:50:43tomorrow, good long sunny spells before the sunshine turns hazy from

2:50:43 > 2:50:46the north-west later on. Temperatures down on today, bit more

2:50:46 > 2:50:50sunshine, lighter wind, should not feel too bad. Courtesy of this

2:50:50 > 2:50:56weather front, joining forces with another one, DPF airflow pressure.

2:50:56 > 2:51:00Saturday, first day of the week and, wet day, rain spreading from West to

2:51:00 > 2:51:05East, some of the rain will be heavy. Severe gale force in the

2:51:05 > 2:51:10final. Finishing the day with sunshine, temperatures may drop,

2:51:10 > 2:51:15into Sunday, south-westerly wind, back once again, with it, rain in

2:51:15 > 2:51:19Scotland and Northern Ireland, some parts of Central eastern England

2:51:19 > 2:51:24will stay dry, sunny spells and note the temperatures, double figures for

2:51:24 > 2:51:28just about all, maybe up to 15 degrees in eastern areas. High

2:51:28 > 2:51:32temperatures again, rain across Scotland, we could see some further

2:51:32 > 2:51:36melt and flooding possible. Complete contrast to what has been happening

2:51:36 > 2:51:40across the other side of the world in Cape Town, South Africa, these

2:51:40 > 2:51:47areas where we need rain, at critical levels, Cape Town, as early

2:51:47 > 2:51:51as the 12th of April, could be the first Metropolitan area in the world

2:51:51 > 2:51:55for the taps to run dry. The City Council, from next week, limiting

2:51:55 > 2:52:00households to just 50 litres of water a day, equivalent to around

2:52:00 > 2:52:04ten flushes of the toilet. They desperately need rain, and none is

2:52:04 > 2:52:05forecast.

2:52:10 > 2:52:14So hard to imagine, when we are in the midst of winter, so much rain.

2:52:14 > 2:52:18If you imagine, the likes of Birmingham, Manchester, the tabs

2:52:18 > 2:52:21being turned off one day because there is not enough water to go

2:52:21 > 2:52:24around. They are in desperate need and it is just not there in the

2:52:24 > 2:52:26forecast.

2:52:26 > 2:52:34Have a lovely weekend.

2:52:43 > 2:52:46Knife crime is at the highest level in England and Wales for six years.

2:52:46 > 2:52:49There were almost 37,000 offences last year, so what can be done to

2:52:49 > 2:52:51tackle the problem? In Scotland violent crime is treated as a public

2:52:51 > 2:52:54health problem - a disease to be cured, with long-term plans to

2:52:54 > 2:52:56tackle its causes - and it seems to be working. Breakfast's John Maguire

2:52:56 > 2:52:59is in Glasgow this morning. We have heard some of these harrowing

2:52:59 > 2:53:00stories, incidents involving stabbings, everyone trying to work

2:53:00 > 2:53:07out exactly what can be done?

2:53:07 > 2:53:08out exactly what can be done?So many different initiatives, but here

2:53:08 > 2:53:13in Glasgow they have found something that is working. Street and arrow,

2:53:13 > 2:53:16social enterprise, the guys come here, all ex-offenders, working you

2:53:16 > 2:53:23for a year. Callum chopping up spots. Working on the grill. The

2:53:23 > 2:53:32idea is to give them purpose and a job to train them up and

2:53:32 > 2:53:37job to train them up and they will recover. Lovely looking spicy lentil

2:53:37 > 2:53:42soup, Cumberland sausage, served up later today. The Scottish approach

2:53:42 > 2:53:45is innovative, Glasgow was one of the most dangerous cities, one of

2:53:45 > 2:53:49the most violent cities in Europe several years ago. It is not totally

2:53:49 > 2:53:54cured now, but it is better than it once was. Some of the schemes they

2:53:54 > 2:53:58are working on, this violence reduction unit, that this is part

2:53:58 > 2:54:03of, has been copied elsewhere across the UK. I spent a couple of days in

2:54:03 > 2:54:07London finding out what they are doing there, they are using

2:54:07 > 2:54:13charities involved with

2:54:15 > 2:54:18charities involved with the NHS, to go into A&E, speak with gang members

2:54:18 > 2:54:21involved in violent crime, to see what they can do to help them turn

2:54:21 > 2:54:23their lives around.

2:54:23 > 2:54:27VOICEOVER: Shot twice before he was 21, this former gang member says

2:54:27 > 2:54:34that he is lucky to be alive.When I was young, I was involved in small

2:54:34 > 2:54:36robberies, smoking weed, staying on the straight, not doing anything

2:54:36 > 2:54:41positive.The reason he is here today to tell his story, while in

2:54:41 > 2:54:46hospital, for the second shooting, he met a youth worker, who helped

2:54:46 > 2:54:51him to see another way.I was in hospital, I didn't want to speak to

2:54:51 > 2:54:56the police. The charity, Red Thread, approached me, they made it feel

2:54:56 > 2:55:00like I could talk to them about anything. I never had that. When I

2:55:00 > 2:55:06was 16, I got shot, nobody cared, later, thank God, I had somebody to

2:55:06 > 2:55:09say, change the situation, put you on the straight path, if you need

2:55:09 > 2:55:15help we are here to help.At St Mary's Hospital in Paddington, one

2:55:15 > 2:55:19of London's four major trauma centres, aside from the winter

2:55:19 > 2:55:22pressures of all emergency departments, near, they also deal

2:55:22 > 2:55:27with the brutal consequences of gang violence.The big thing we see is a

2:55:27 > 2:55:31lot of stabbing, a lot of shooting as well. Trauma numbers in general

2:55:31 > 2:55:35have been going up year-on-year, which has been reflected in all

2:55:35 > 2:55:38major trauma centres, and of that proportion, violence related

2:55:38 > 2:55:43injuries.Over the past three years they have had youth workers from the

2:55:43 > 2:55:48charity Red Thread alongside the doctors and nurses here. And they

2:55:48 > 2:55:51say that it is making a difference. The youth workers we have here help

2:55:51 > 2:55:57the young person but they help them when they go out, it is about trying

2:55:57 > 2:56:04to get them out of that cycle of violence. Putting them in the right

2:56:04 > 2:56:07direction.It remains a major problem, the latest crime figures

2:56:07 > 2:56:12for England and Wales published later this morning, the most recent

2:56:12 > 2:56:16showed 1.2 million violent incidents. Among those, almost

2:56:16 > 2:56:2437,000 knife attacks. The highest since 2011, and a 26% increase from

2:56:24 > 2:56:29the previous year. And behind every single number, an attacker, and a

2:56:29 > 2:56:36victim. He knows he cheated death, twice, but others will not be so

2:56:36 > 2:56:40fortunate.

2:56:40 > 2:56:45If you are watching the programme around one hour ago, we spoke with

2:56:45 > 2:56:49Callum, he had been working here for a year, he has gone on, changed his

2:56:49 > 2:56:52life, he has gone to work elsewhere, worked in the criminal justice

2:56:52 > 2:56:59system within Glasgow. -- Colin. This is what he told me.It has

2:56:59 > 2:57:03given me a purpose, and if this gave me a purpose to evolve and change my

2:57:03 > 2:57:13life. Since I left that lifestyle, it has just taken off.Lets talk to

2:57:13 > 2:57:15will Linden and Inspector Ian Murray, both from the violence

2:57:15 > 2:57:20reduction in unit, why does this work?Because it gives people a

2:57:20 > 2:57:24chance, we are dealing with young men and women, their chances have

2:57:24 > 2:57:28been omitted, because chances are not created equally, they have had

2:57:28 > 2:57:31massive problems and massive challenges in their life but they

2:57:31 > 2:57:34have decided that they want to change their lives for the better,

2:57:34 > 2:57:37for their families and themselves and their communities and we are

2:57:37 > 2:57:40helping them and supporting them and it seems to work.We spoke with

2:57:40 > 2:57:44people through the morning, they really appreciate the camaraderie,

2:57:44 > 2:57:48the chance to talk to other people, to get the support from you guys.

2:57:48 > 2:57:54What is your role, do you think, you are a policeman, but perhaps back in

2:57:54 > 2:57:58the day it may have been thought that you would be at loggerheads?We

2:57:58 > 2:58:01are looking for them to change, to care them into change, creating hope

2:58:01 > 2:58:05and opportunity which gives them the opportunity to change their lives

2:58:05 > 2:58:10and the reductive members of the community.That a couple of weeks

2:58:10 > 2:58:14left in the programme, William and Callum, William says he does not

2:58:14 > 2:58:17know what he will do next, what are his options?We support them beyond

2:58:17 > 2:58:23the programme, we have a bank of failure friendly employers, they

2:58:23 > 2:58:26will give work to these people, we cannot guarantee work but we have

2:58:26 > 2:58:31been successful so far. And I'm sure that they will be able to get a job

2:58:31 > 2:58:35and move forward with their lives. Thanks to the crew in the kitchen as

2:58:35 > 2:58:40well, sterling job this morning, they have been serving for the last

2:58:40 > 2:58:43little while so. Very popular, especially every other Saturday,

2:58:43 > 2:58:55when they have the farmers market. Model has been worked in Scotland.

2:58:55 > 2:58:59That has been rolled out across other cities, in Nottingham and in

2:58:59 > 2:59:03Birmingham in the near future. Again, the idea to make a real

2:59:03 > 2:59:16change, to make every difference. -- to make a real difference.

2:59:16 > 2:59:188:30am, important match began in Melbourne, Kyle Edmund, against

2:59:18 > 2:59:24Marin Cilic, and he was doing OK in the first game, that is all that we

2:59:24 > 2:59:31knew... We understand it is on serve, that is good, Kyle Edmund

2:59:31 > 2:59:41fighting for a place in the final. Teachers and pupils at the former

2:59:41 > 2:59:50school of Kyle Edmund are watching, and JJ is there for us.

2:59:50 > 2:59:57and JJ is there for us. JJ is behind a mask of Kyle Edmund(!)

2:59:59 > 3:00:02a mask of Kyle Edmund(!)he has been a rock star here for a long time,

3:00:02 > 3:00:06and you can see the kids are really getting into the match, getting some

3:00:06 > 3:00:10time of class to watch it, they have been up all morning with us, making

3:00:10 > 3:00:15the banner, and every time he is on serve, he is on court, they are

3:00:15 > 3:00:20going wild for him, and the amazing thing is, Kyle Edmund is only 23,

3:00:20 > 3:00:25was not that long since he was one of these guys. So we can talk to

3:00:25 > 3:00:32some of his teachers. Russell, Mr Parker, sorry...Thank you.

3:00:32 > 3:00:37LAUGHTER. How proud are you of him?He has

3:00:37 > 3:00:42gone on to such great things, even more amazing.You were one of his

3:00:42 > 3:00:47teachers. A lot of talk this week has been about his confidence, what

3:00:47 > 3:00:52was it like when you were teaching him?He always had an inner

3:00:52 > 3:00:56strength, he was quiet, a lot of people have thought about his

3:00:56 > 3:01:00quietness, but he was always... It was always linked to the shortness,

3:01:00 > 3:01:03and he was always in the right place that macro always linked to a

3:01:03 > 3:01:11certain assuredness. He had an innate belief in himself and that is

3:01:11 > 3:01:14what has carried him through his life and it is what is carrying him

3:01:14 > 3:01:21through today.Some of the pupils here could be future Kyle Edmunds.I

3:01:21 > 3:01:26have a trophy here that has Kyle Edmund's name on it as well as mine,

3:01:26 > 3:01:31we have both won the same trophy, a won it three years in a row, I won

3:01:31 > 3:01:36it only one year... One of his first trophies, and it has not been his

3:01:36 > 3:01:41last, hopefully that can be the same for me.Hopefully more silverware

3:01:41 > 3:01:45today, thank you for having a quick chat with us, for raising such a

3:01:45 > 3:01:50great boy, you have done so well. As you can see, the kids want to make

3:01:50 > 3:01:54some nice, I'm keeping them quiet. Please, enjoy the match, are you

3:01:54 > 3:01:58going to enjoy the match?CHEERING

3:02:04 > 3:02:09Can we get them to hold the masks to their faces... No, they cannot hear

3:02:09 > 3:02:14us, that room is... That is one excited room!How is JJ going to

3:02:14 > 3:02:22survive there! For one morning at least we are all Kyle

3:02:30 > 3:02:33If you've been watching BBC One's Big Cats you'll have seen

3:02:33 > 3:02:34some spectacular chases between predator and prey.

3:02:34 > 3:02:36Well scientists have been studying this natural battle

3:02:36 > 3:02:38of wits and its evolution.

3:02:38 > 3:02:40They've discovered how the animals have adapted to try and stay one

3:02:40 > 3:02:43step ahead of each other, and have found speed,

3:02:43 > 3:02:45doesn't always lead to success, as our Science Correspondent

3:02:45 > 3:02:46Victoria Gill explains.

3:02:46 > 3:02:47The fastest land animal on Earth.

3:02:47 > 3:02:49Cheetahs are built for speed and acceleration.

3:02:49 > 3:02:52But with a sprint they can sustain for less than a minute,

3:02:52 > 3:02:54every twist and turn of the hunt is critical.

3:02:54 > 3:02:55High-speed battle.

3:02:55 > 3:02:56And these veterinary scientists have now

3:02:56 > 3:02:58studied at the finest scale.

3:02:58 > 3:02:59We've seen the spectacle of hunting on

3:02:59 > 3:03:02wildlife documentaries but here we're catching thousands of brands

3:03:02 > 3:03:05and actually shoving what they do, all the things we don't see, when

3:03:05 > 3:03:07they hunt at night, when they hunt in dense

3:03:07 > 3:03:10cover, we are building a false story which means you can then

3:03:10 > 3:03:11create a computer model that can

3:03:11 > 3:03:19actually tell us what the effect and honed outcome is.

3:03:27 > 3:03:32Scientists fitted chatting colours to cheaters and lions and the pray

3:03:32 > 3:03:35that they pursue, recording their position every 200 times per second.

3:03:35 > 3:03:39-- cheetahs. That captured every moment of the chase, revealing just

3:03:39 > 3:03:43how close predator and prey match in their athleticism but also

3:03:43 > 3:03:48demonstrated that the hunt is about much more than speed, about

3:03:48 > 3:03:52outmanoeuvring a predator, turning at the very last minute, and

3:03:52 > 3:04:01antelope can control the chase and evade capture. Only 50% of cheetah

3:04:01 > 3:04:06hunts end in a kill, this has showed the delicate balance between the

3:04:06 > 3:04:13survival of these powerful cats and the animals they eat. Lions and

3:04:13 > 3:04:17cheetahs are both known to be blonde bull to extinction, this study shows

3:04:17 > 3:04:21how fine the line is between life and death in the wild.If you're

3:04:21 > 3:04:24going to protect them, having an in-depth understanding of their

3:04:24 > 3:04:30requirements in the natural habitat is so important, and research into

3:04:30 > 3:04:35the kind of prey they eat and how much home range they need. It all

3:04:35 > 3:04:40links into their conservation.These are the extreme athletes of the

3:04:40 > 3:04:46animal kingdom, and it has meant tracking their every step to unravel

3:04:46 > 3:04:54the drama of each chase.

3:04:54 > 3:04:56Professor Alan Wilson, from the Royal Veterinary College,

3:04:56 > 3:05:00who you saw in that report, is with us in the studio

3:05:00 > 3:05:04What have you learned the most from these observations?We have learned

3:05:04 > 3:05:09how animals code evolved to live in a reasonably happy system, the

3:05:09 > 3:05:15cheetah Asda be athletic enough to catch the Impala, but the Impalas

3:05:15 > 3:05:25must be athletic enough not to get caught. -- the cheetah must be.The

3:05:25 > 3:05:28balance, makes perfect sense, there needs to be balance.There needs to

3:05:28 > 3:05:34be balance. If you start reintroducing animals to the wild,

3:05:34 > 3:05:36looking at environment, then you have to think about something like

3:05:36 > 3:05:41that.You are a professor of biomechanics. Maybe you can talk us

3:05:41 > 3:05:47through this, in terms of science, what you see... This is a recumbent

3:05:47 > 3:05:50cheater, at the moment, but this measurement, to see how fast they

3:05:50 > 3:05:58run the straight-line. -- cheetah. Like a rugby player or a winger, if

3:05:58 > 3:06:00you are powerful, if you can manoeuvre, then you can run quickly

3:06:00 > 3:06:05as well, it is about having very powerful muscle, one thing we did

3:06:05 > 3:06:08was look at the muscles and predators have remarkably powerful

3:06:08 > 3:06:15muscle.And this, the cheetah, relatively light to its muscle,

3:06:15 > 3:06:22think of a lion...If you want to be fast, you want to be 40, 50, 60

3:06:22 > 3:06:25kilograms, optimum size, speed, greyhound size, cheetah size, if you

3:06:25 > 3:06:31get bigger, you tend to be slower, smaller, you tend to be slower.Are

3:06:31 > 3:06:39these chases in a straight line, are they twisting and turning?Here, the

3:06:39 > 3:06:45lure is running around, all the work is done in the wild, real cheetah

3:06:45 > 3:06:49hunting and real impala, they are captured outmanoeuvring for every

3:06:49 > 3:06:55single step they take.What do the collars monitor?Speed and

3:06:55 > 3:07:01acceleration, 350 times a second, very accurate GPS. Accelerometer and

3:07:01 > 3:07:05gyroscopes in them, you can get every twist and turn. How quickly

3:07:05 > 3:07:09they are going when they turn, and whether they slow down to turn and

3:07:09 > 3:07:13things like that.Everyone knows they do not always catch their prey,

3:07:13 > 3:07:19take the example of the impala, what is it in terms of biomechanics and

3:07:19 > 3:07:22the movements the impala can do which means that they can sometimes

3:07:22 > 3:07:29elude their cheetah?If you ran away from a line in a straight line, it

3:07:29 > 3:07:32would get you every time, so the Impala needs to move relatively

3:07:32 > 3:07:35slowly, and at the last minute, turn, that is where it can do what

3:07:35 > 3:07:40the cheetah cannot, because the impala is setting the course of the

3:07:40 > 3:07:44hunt, deciding when to turn, how quickly do go, its advantage is that

3:07:44 > 3:07:49it knows...It would be a brave impala to slow down when being

3:07:49 > 3:07:53chased by anything that wants to eat you.Obviously that is what they

3:07:53 > 3:07:57have learned, when you look at them, they run slowly, it is just the

3:07:57 > 3:08:02twists and turns. You have two turn very sharply. CEO Bird running in

3:08:02 > 3:08:05front of your car, you see the same thing, you get closer and closer and

3:08:05 > 3:08:16at the last second, they turn away. -- if you see a bird running.

3:08:16 > 3:08:19Big Cats is on BBC One tonight at 8pm

3:08:22 > 3:08:25We'll be hearing from Sir Elton John about why his next tour will be his

3:08:25 > 3:08:28last when we come back. First a last, brief look at the headlines

3:08:28 > 3:10:08where you are this morning.

3:10:20 > 3:10:23As goodbyes go, it was every bit as subtle and understated as we've

3:10:23 > 3:10:26come to expect from one of the UK's most flamboyant entertainers.

3:10:26 > 3:10:29Sir Elton John has announced that he plans to stop touring -

3:10:29 > 3:10:32but only after a global farewell which will last three years.

3:10:32 > 3:10:35I've been travelling since I was 17 in the back of a van up

3:10:35 > 3:10:36and down the M1.

3:10:36 > 3:10:38And although I travel in the most fantastic way, it's

3:10:38 > 3:10:40exhausting, and I don't enjoy it.

3:10:40 > 3:10:41It's a long goodbye?

3:10:41 > 3:10:42It's a long goodbye!

3:10:42 > 3:10:43Three years?

3:10:43 > 3:10:46A three year tour, 300 shows, but I'm really, really looking

3:10:46 > 3:10:53forward to it.

3:10:54 > 3:10:56They will be happy shows, I won't regret it.

3:10:56 > 3:10:58Let's talk to an Elton John superfan now.

3:10:58 > 3:11:01Richard Booth has seen him in concert more than 100 times.

3:11:01 > 3:11:06You have bought in some stuff, you have met him as well, what have you

3:11:06 > 3:11:07brought in?

3:11:07 > 3:11:09have met him as well, what have you brought in?Disses Elton's cap that

3:11:09 > 3:11:20he donated to the aids foundation that he signed.

3:11:20 > 3:11:23that he signed.It is a fantastic piece of hardware, if I turn it over

3:11:23 > 3:11:30you can see it says, with love... Elton John, Atlanta, 1995.He is

3:11:30 > 3:11:34obviously keen to meet the fans? Yes, this is one of the programmes

3:11:34 > 3:11:38that he has signed, he is a very personable person, he cares deeply

3:11:38 > 3:11:42for his fans and you can see that in his shows, the way he interacts with

3:11:42 > 3:11:48the crowd at every show, he is a showman but also a people person.It

3:11:48 > 3:11:53is a funny kind of retirement, isn't it, when you save three years, 300

3:11:53 > 3:12:00shows?I think with the magnitude of Elton John and what he has done over

3:12:00 > 3:12:04his career, I think he needs that three-year tour so everyone can get

3:12:04 > 3:12:08the chance to see him, they will be millions of people who want to get

3:12:08 > 3:12:13tickets for the final shows and I think a three-year tour is a grand

3:12:13 > 3:12:16farewell.He says he wants to spend more time with his children, how old

3:12:16 > 3:12:24are they?About seven.He wants to spend time with them, but with his

3:12:24 > 3:12:30back catalogue, what would you want to see onto a?A range of things,

3:12:30 > 3:12:34the earlier days, goodbye Jenna Brick Road, Rocket Man, which he

3:12:34 > 3:12:41puts into his staple of his set -- goodbye yellow Brick Road. But

3:12:41 > 3:12:45people will see a range of material and everybody knows and Elton John

3:12:45 > 3:12:49song, people who have never seen him, or seen him 20 times, everyone

3:12:49 > 3:12:55knows a song they can sing along to. He has been pretty open about

3:12:55 > 3:13:01things, do you think the show will be a big spectacular?I hope it will

3:13:01 > 3:13:07be, shows like Red Piano Show, The Million-dollar Piano in Vegas, they

3:13:07 > 3:13:11have been a grand backdrop with lavish screen so I hope he will have

3:13:11 > 3:13:15masses of video screens showing excerpts from his career, that

3:13:15 > 3:13:20people can relate to, and will be the final farewell.

3:13:20 > 3:13:25Exciting times, Richard, thank you very much. There is a big game going

3:13:25 > 3:13:28on, Kyle Edmund in the semifinal in Melbourne, just lost the first set,

3:13:28 > 3:13:31you can follow the match online and on radio 5 Live.

3:13:31 > 3:13:39We wish them well, it is early days. We are back tomorrow. Bye-bye.
