0:00:10 > 0:00:13Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

0:00:13 > 0:00:18Every active rape case in England and Wales is to be reviewed because

0:00:18 > 0:00:22of recent failures to disclose evidence. The director of public

0:00:22 > 0:00:26prosecutions said cases yet to come to trial would be examined as a

0:00:26 > 0:00:36matter of urgency and admits some will have to be stopped.

0:00:43 > 0:00:48Good morning. It's Saturday the 27th of January. Also on the programme

0:00:48 > 0:00:53this morning, Paris on high alert as record rainfall causes the River

0:00:53 > 0:00:57Seine to burst its banks. The implied US gymnastics board

0:00:57 > 0:01:03resigns over its handling of the Larry Nassar sex abuse scandal.

0:01:03 > 0:01:07Relief for 1000 workers at aerospace firm Bombardier, the US authorities

0:01:07 > 0:01:12stop plans to impose massive tariffs of a plane parts made in Belfast.

0:01:12 > 0:01:19In sport, no FA Cup final for Yeovil Town, beaten 4-0 by Manchester

0:01:19 > 0:01:23United, Alexis Sanchez the new signing instrumental but tonight

0:01:23 > 0:01:26Newport County have the chance for an upset when they take on

0:01:26 > 0:01:29Tottenham.And Susan has the weather.

0:01:29 > 0:01:33Good morning, we will be up against the cloud this weekend, some pretty

0:01:33 > 0:01:38grey prospects for most of today. A windy story. More details coming up.

0:01:38 > 0:01:41Thank you.

0:01:41 > 0:01:46Our main story: All current rape and sexual assault cases in England and

0:01:46 > 0:01:49Wales are being reviewed as a matter of urgency. The announcement from

0:01:49 > 0:01:53the Director of Public Prosecutions follows the recent collapse of

0:01:53 > 0:01:57several high profile trials after vital evidence had not been shared

0:01:57 > 0:02:00with defence lawyers. It's believed a number of cases could be stopped

0:02:00 > 0:02:04as a result. Adina Campbell has more.

0:02:04 > 0:02:09In a move seemed to help rebuild trust in the justice system, every

0:02:09 > 0:02:12rape and sexual assault case in England and Wales is now under

0:02:12 > 0:02:18review. The Crown Prosecution Service has taken action after

0:02:18 > 0:02:24public concerns that evidence particularly digital records are not

0:02:24 > 0:02:28being disclosed early enough to defence lawyers. 22-year-old Liam

0:02:28 > 0:02:34Allen was wrongly accused of rape and sexual assault, but his trial

0:02:34 > 0:02:39collapsed last month after the Metropolitan Police failed to

0:02:39 > 0:02:44disclose phone records which were vital evidence. Last week, a rape

0:02:44 > 0:02:47charge against Oxford University student Oliver Mears was dropped

0:02:47 > 0:02:51shortly before his trial when a diary which supported his case was

0:02:51 > 0:02:58uncovered. And Danny Kay, who had a rape conviction overturned after

0:02:58 > 0:03:02spending two years in prison, said earlier this month he felt let down

0:03:02 > 0:03:08by the justice system. Devastating. For a system that you

0:03:08 > 0:03:15trust to let you down and I had complete faith in it. I trusted the

0:03:15 > 0:03:17truth would come out in trial and it didn't.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22Earlier this week the BBC revealed at the number of collapsed

0:03:22 > 0:03:27prosecutions increased by 70% over the last two years. A national

0:03:27 > 0:03:31disclosure plan has now been published by the CPS, the national

0:03:31 > 0:03:34police chiefs council and the College of policing to help make

0:03:34 > 0:03:41improvements. Adina Campbell, BBC News.

0:03:41 > 0:03:45The Prime Minister has welcomed a landmark ruling by trade authorities

0:03:45 > 0:03:48in the US overturning a decision to impose huge tariffs on planes partly

0:03:48 > 0:03:54built in the UK. The aerospace firm Bombardier won a surprise victory in

0:03:54 > 0:03:58its dispute with Boeing about selling its passenger jets to US

0:03:58 > 0:04:03airlines. The wings for the planes are manufactured in Belfast. Our

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Ireland correspondent Chris Bates reports.

0:04:06 > 0:04:09Workers, politicians and business leaders had feared one of

0:04:09 > 0:04:15Bombardier's biggest projects would be grounded. The firm in Belfast has

0:04:15 > 0:04:214000 employees and a quarter of them work in the C series jet. But the

0:04:21 > 0:04:24programme was after threat after Boeing claimed it was unfairly

0:04:24 > 0:04:28subsidised because of financial help from the Canadian and British

0:04:28 > 0:04:31governments. The authorities in Washington initially proposed to

0:04:31 > 0:04:37impose tariffs of just under 300% on imports of the C series. But last

0:04:37 > 0:04:40night, the US international trade commission decided not to go ahead

0:04:40 > 0:04:45with the tariffs, the four commissioners all voting in

0:04:45 > 0:04:49Bombardier's favour. Workers and their representatives were surprised

0:04:49 > 0:04:53but very pleased.The workforce has stayed squarely behind this, put

0:04:53 > 0:04:56their shoulder to the wheel, we've seen politicians nationally given up

0:04:56 > 0:05:01the ghost saying this is something that can't be overturned, we've

0:05:01 > 0:05:05demonstrated tonight the power of trade Unions globally, we work with

0:05:05 > 0:05:09our colleagues in Canada the US and this is a victory for workers to

0:05:09 > 0:05:11like. The prime ministers spoke to Donald

0:05:11 > 0:05:16Trump at the world economics of it in Damascus week about the dispute.

0:05:16 > 0:05:19Theresa May Tweeted she welcomed the decision is good news for British

0:05:19 > 0:05:24industry. People have been prepared here for

0:05:24 > 0:05:28bad news from across the Atlantic but there are delighted with this

0:05:28 > 0:05:32unexpected result. After months of worry, Bombardier's bigotry in this

0:05:32 > 0:05:36trade dispute has brought a great sense of relief. Chris Page, BBC

0:05:36 > 0:05:39News, Belfast.

0:05:39 > 0:05:42Residence in Paris are bracing for further disruption as flooding in

0:05:42 > 0:05:47the city is respected to peak. Some of the wettest January read the in

0:05:47 > 0:05:51more than a century saw the River Seine rise more than five metres

0:05:51 > 0:05:57above its normal level yesterday.

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Days of heavy rain in the French capital have left the city

0:06:02 > 0:06:03on high alert.

0:06:03 > 0:06:06Roads, usually filled with Paris traffic, are now devoid of cars

0:06:06 > 0:06:07and submerged in water.

0:06:07 > 0:06:10Forecasters say the River Seine's water levels could rise further over

0:06:10 > 0:06:13the weekend, to six metres, just shy of the 6.2 metre peak

0:06:13 > 0:06:17in June 2016, which led to two deaths and injured dozens more.

0:06:17 > 0:06:22Authorities insist that they are prepared.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25The city usually bustling with tourists admiring all Paris has

0:06:25 > 0:06:28to offer, the rising river levels themselves now the attraction.

0:06:28 > 0:06:31This statue of a Crimean soldier Zouave has been used to alert locals

0:06:31 > 0:06:36to rising water levels for more than 150 years.

0:06:36 > 0:06:39By midday Friday, the water was up to his thighs.

0:06:39 > 0:06:41In the southern suburb of Villeneuve-le-Roi,

0:06:41 > 0:06:46river police have been helping families flee their homes.

0:06:46 > 0:06:49TRANSLATION:In the four years I've lived here,

0:06:49 > 0:06:49twice it has flooded.

0:06:49 > 0:06:50It's a big deal.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52I have two children.

0:06:52 > 0:06:52It's traumatising.

0:06:52 > 0:06:55Experts say the river could stay high throughout next week,

0:06:55 > 0:07:03especially if more rain falls.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06And with increasingly unpredictable weather comes a sense of uncertainty

0:07:06 > 0:07:09for people in Paris as to when the waters will return.

0:07:09 > 0:07:14Stefan Levy, BBC News.

0:07:14 > 0:07:19The entire US gymnastics board is to resign because of its handling of

0:07:19 > 0:07:24the sex abuse scandal involving the former team doctor, Larry Nasa. The

0:07:24 > 0:07:27country's Olympic Committee threatened to strip the organisation

0:07:27 > 0:07:30of its powers if the directors failed to step down. Larry Nassar

0:07:30 > 0:07:35has been given a prison sentence of up to 175 years. Peter Bowes

0:07:35 > 0:07:39reports.

0:07:39 > 0:07:42As Larry Nassar begins to what amounts to a life sentence,

0:07:42 > 0:07:45the fallout from the abuse scandal has been swift and decisive.

0:07:45 > 0:07:48The entire board of USA Gymnastics has gone and there have been

0:07:48 > 0:07:50other resignations too.

0:07:50 > 0:07:52Mark Hollis was the athletic director at Michigan State

0:07:52 > 0:07:54University when Nassar worked there.

0:07:54 > 0:07:56He and another official have decided to quit.

0:07:56 > 0:07:59It's been an absolute honour to guide the athletic department

0:07:59 > 0:08:00for the last decade.

0:08:00 > 0:08:02That being said, today I'm announcing my retirement.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05I'm not running away from anything, I'm running towards something.

0:08:05 > 0:08:06Comfort, compassion and understanding for the survivors

0:08:06 > 0:08:07in our community.

0:08:07 > 0:08:15Togetherness, time and love for my family.

0:08:27 > 0:08:32There's been reports that Michigan State university and USA

0:08:32 > 0:08:39Gymnastics knew all the abuse claims but failed to take action.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41They've both denied there was a cover-up.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44With several investigations into abuse in US sports now under

0:08:44 > 0:08:45way, the recriminations are only just beginning.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49Peter Bowes, BBC News.

0:08:49 > 0:08:53Officials in Cape Town are urging people to limit flushing their

0:08:53 > 0:08:56toilets to conserve their water as the city continues to battle a

0:08:56 > 0:09:00severe drought. Water supplies in the South African

0:09:00 > 0:09:04city are due to run out in early April after three years of

0:09:04 > 0:09:07exceptionally low rainfall. Residents have been advised to limit

0:09:07 > 0:09:11showering to twice a week and save water as if their lives depended on

0:09:11 > 0:09:12it.

0:09:12 > 0:09:16New research shows companies are abusing a loophole in the law to put

0:09:16 > 0:09:21up telephone boxes on the high street and then using them as little

0:09:21 > 0:09:24more than advertising billboards. The Local Government Association

0:09:24 > 0:09:27says there's been a tenfold increase in applications to install the

0:09:27 > 0:09:32boxes, which don't require formal planning permission. Keith Doyle has

0:09:32 > 0:09:33more.

0:09:33 > 0:09:37Phone boxes used to be an integral part of our high streets, but mobile

0:09:37 > 0:09:42phones have made them almost redundant. While BT is scrapping

0:09:42 > 0:09:47half its remaining 40,000 phone kiosks, councils have seen a huge

0:09:47 > 0:09:51surge in applications for new ones from other companies. The Local

0:09:51 > 0:09:54Government Association says because planning permission is not required

0:09:54 > 0:09:58it believes many applicants are more interested in the prime advertising

0:09:58 > 0:10:02space than providing a phone service. Is anyone actually using

0:10:02 > 0:10:06these phones?Nobody is using them. This is just here as an

0:10:06 > 0:10:11advertisement?It's an advertising board in the high-street.

0:10:11 > 0:10:15What we want to do is them to go with the normal planning system, if

0:10:15 > 0:10:19you want a hoarding, you have to have planning permission, we want

0:10:19 > 0:10:22the same from these boxes, they're like Trojans getting round the

0:10:22 > 0:10:25planning system by being put on phone boxes that people actually

0:10:25 > 0:10:30don't use.This is prime advertising space right in the heart of London

0:10:30 > 0:10:34right off Oxford Street. Two years ago Westminster council got

0:10:34 > 0:10:39applications for just 13 new phone kiosks, last year there was 180. In

0:10:39 > 0:10:45Liverpool for the same period the figure went from ten to 97 and in

0:10:45 > 0:10:49Newcastle, where two years ago there was an application for just one new

0:10:49 > 0:10:53phone kiosk, last year it was 95 and the Local Government Association is

0:10:53 > 0:10:56questioning whether it's the phones they want all the advertising space.

0:10:56 > 0:11:01New technology means there's a demand for a generation of phone and

0:11:01 > 0:11:06communication points on our streets, but councils say the law also needs

0:11:06 > 0:11:10to be brought up to date to control what they say is the scourge of

0:11:10 > 0:11:15unregulated high-street advertising. Keith Doyle, BBC News.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18Let's get up to date with the newspapers this morning.

0:11:18 > 0:11:23Some of the front pages, the front page of the Guardian, I'm not used

0:11:23 > 0:11:27to the new shape of the Guardian as yet.And the colour change as well.

0:11:27 > 0:11:33A surge in support for a second EU referendum, looking at Guardian ICM

0:11:33 > 0:11:38poll, lot of debate on this, many polls saying different things, this

0:11:38 > 0:11:43one suggesting Britain's favour another on Brexit. We will hear more

0:11:43 > 0:11:46about that over the coming weeks. The Daily Express is looking at

0:11:46 > 0:11:52Brexit and saying the boom is here, defying the Brexit doom mongers once

0:11:52 > 0:11:56again, exceeding expectations with the economy after figures yesterday

0:11:56 > 0:12:01showed growth in the fourth quarter was 0.5%. This picture is of Paul

0:12:01 > 0:12:06Yunker, the singer, and his wife, Stacey, who has died at 52 from

0:12:06 > 0:12:10brain cancer. The front page of the Daily Mail, we've heard about the

0:12:10 > 0:12:19stresses of on the NHS, that's been due to the flu, but here three in

0:12:19 > 0:12:23four health trusts deny speaking about hip and knee surgery if

0:12:23 > 0:12:30patients aren't in enough pain. Campaigners say these kinds of

0:12:30 > 0:12:35operations and the patients are easy targets for cost-cutting. The Daily

0:12:35 > 0:12:38Telegraph looking again at another Brexit story on the front page

0:12:38 > 0:12:42saying British officials are in discussions with Brussels about

0:12:42 > 0:12:46extending the Brexit transition period to almost three years. You

0:12:46 > 0:12:49all know the official target, the one that's been spoken about, was

0:12:49 > 0:12:53around two years and this is Gavin Williamson, the Defence Secretary,

0:12:53 > 0:12:58pictured with his wife, Joanne, as there are questions about the

0:12:58 > 0:13:01circumstances of an old job following a relationship he had with

0:13:01 > 0:13:05a colleague. He said his marriage came under pressure after an affair

0:13:05 > 0:13:10in 2004. On the front page of the Times, it's been all over the news

0:13:10 > 0:13:16in the past few days, Donald Trump's visit to Switzerland and the World

0:13:16 > 0:13:19Economic Forum, he waves as he leaves after his keynote address

0:13:19 > 0:13:22yesterday. It is our lead story this morning,

0:13:22 > 0:13:27the front page of the Times, every rape and serious assault case in

0:13:27 > 0:13:34England and Wales to be reviewed by the CPS after the collapse of a

0:13:34 > 0:13:38number of trials. This is about the failure to disclose evidence in rape

0:13:38 > 0:13:43trials. Another story we have been talking about this morning is the

0:13:43 > 0:13:47flooding Parisians have seen in their city.

0:13:47 > 0:13:51Five metres above normal levels, the River Seine has been at, obviously

0:13:51 > 0:13:54there's been a lot of rain and Susan, how has that been affecting

0:13:54 > 0:13:55things?

0:13:56 > 0:13:57Good

0:13:57 > 0:14:01Good morning. What you see here at the moment is a clearer in trouble

0:14:01 > 0:14:06across Paris but what we've had is one weather front after the other

0:14:06 > 0:14:10putting in relentless rain. I'll emphasise we're getting news out of

0:14:10 > 0:14:15Paris, that's a prominent story, but half of France basically is on high

0:14:15 > 0:14:20flood alert and there's big problems further south as well. You can see a

0:14:20 > 0:14:24weather system here. A lot of snow across the Alps, lots of that has

0:14:24 > 0:14:28been melting to top up the rivers and more rain adding to the misery.

0:14:28 > 0:14:34A lot of France struggling at the moment.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Heading closer home to the UK and let's see what's in store. Looking

0:14:38 > 0:14:41at the satellite picture there's a real stream of cloud backing out

0:14:41 > 0:14:46into the Atlantic, and you can just make out a little bit in East Anglia

0:14:46 > 0:14:49and the south-east of England. A little bit of clear sky. But the

0:14:49 > 0:14:54cloud is piling in from the west and the story really for today, it will

0:14:54 > 0:14:59be grey and for some rather wet one as well. The rain already in the two

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Northern Ireland and it will clear eastwards in the next couple of

0:15:03 > 0:15:06hours. So an improving story here through the morning, but the

0:15:06 > 0:15:10Scotland and northern England parked up under the weather front it's a

0:15:10 > 0:15:14wet start to the day. A very windy start as well and the northern and

0:15:14 > 0:15:17western Scotland it will generally be windy throughout the day.

0:15:17 > 0:15:22Northern Ireland looks a lot drier by nine a.m.. Rain in the north-west

0:15:22 > 0:15:26of England could be heavy on western hills. Drizzle at this point,

0:15:26 > 0:15:30pushing into the Midlands, but the Wales and the south-west of wet

0:15:30 > 0:15:35spell. Chilly a further east, with patchy frost in East Anglia and the

0:15:35 > 0:15:40south-east, but a chance of early sunshine. It is shortly. -- short

0:15:40 > 0:15:43lived. The weather front will move eastward through the morning.

0:15:43 > 0:15:49Keeping the gales going into the afternoon, we should see sunshine

0:15:49 > 0:15:51the northern and western Scotland. Sunshine for Northern Ireland and

0:15:51 > 0:15:55northern England. Further south in dries up for Wales and the

0:15:55 > 0:16:04south-west. A low cloud. Rain for the second half of the day. That

0:16:04 > 0:16:08front is off into the continent, again with the chance of more rain

0:16:08 > 0:16:13in Paris. It keeps topping things up. We are left with a lot of mild

0:16:13 > 0:16:18air in the British Isles. These are the overnight lows. 10 degrees. Mild

0:16:18 > 0:16:23for this time of year. A lot of low cloud, with the mist and murk in the

0:16:23 > 0:16:28west. You can see how this front snakes its way all the way back into

0:16:28 > 0:16:34the Atlantic and across the UK. We have a feed of grey and dank weather

0:16:34 > 0:16:38to finish off the weekend. In terms of rainfall, Scotland and Northern

0:16:38 > 0:16:42Ireland seeing the wettest weather on Sunday. Further south, a few

0:16:42 > 0:16:47glimmers of brightness to higher ground, but a lot of cloud around

0:16:47 > 0:16:50and drizzly outbreaks of rain. Temperatures amazing for the time of

0:16:50 > 0:16:56year. Some in the north-west could see up to 15 degrees. Here is the

0:16:56 > 0:16:59front, kinky bus company and sitting across the central belt of the

0:16:59 > 0:17:05British Isles. -- keen to keep us company. Slowly coming south and

0:17:05 > 0:17:09bringing heavy rain. Drier and brighter to the north, but chilly

0:17:09 > 0:17:13conditions coming later on the day on Monday. That's the way things

0:17:13 > 0:17:13conditions coming later on the day on Monday. That's the way things are

0:17:13 > 0:17:16shaping up now. Thanks very much. Those temperatures

0:17:16 > 0:17:19are extraordinary.

0:17:19 > 0:17:25Time now for the film of you.

0:17:29 > 0:17:34-- The Film Review.

0:17:39 > 0:17:45Welcome to The Film Review on BBC News. To take us through this week's

0:17:45 > 0:17:48cinema releases is Mark Kermode. What have you been watching? An

0:17:48 > 0:17:55interesting week. We have Downsizing. Early Man, always a

0:17:55 > 0:18:09treat. And we not quite sequel.It looks intriguing, your first choice.

0:18:09 > 0:18:15That's what I would say.Intriguing is exactly the word. This is

0:18:15 > 0:18:23something a bit different. It takes riffs from the Incredible Shrinking

0:18:23 > 0:18:33Man and combine that with the eco- themes of An Inconvient Truth and

0:18:33 > 0:18:37also Spanglish. Process is discovered to shrink people down to

0:18:37 > 0:18:41about five inches. You become tiny. Then you will use less resources and

0:18:41 > 0:18:47you can produce less stuff to dispose. Everyone have to agree this

0:18:47 > 0:18:52is a good idea, but the real reason people are doing it is because the

0:18:52 > 0:18:55lifestyle you get offered if you to become small is more extravagant

0:18:55 > 0:19:01than you can get on the big world. Here's a clip.So the decision to...

0:19:01 > 0:19:06That's the thing, downsizing takes the pressure off, especially money

0:19:06 > 0:19:10pressure.It must feel good to know you are making a difference?You

0:19:10 > 0:19:14mean all that clap about saving the planet? Downsizing is about saving

0:19:14 > 0:19:21yourself.I'm still living in the same house I grew up in! Audrey is

0:19:21 > 0:19:26dying for us to move.We are really strapped. There are a lot of small

0:19:26 > 0:19:32community is propping up, I don't mess around. Liege Land is where you

0:19:32 > 0:19:38want to be. It has all of the great restaurants. -- leisure. Maybe back

0:19:38 > 0:19:42up a little. I think it might be too much garlic in the source you had.

0:19:42 > 0:19:48Right.It's a really interesting set up and that looks like the beginning

0:19:48 > 0:19:52of a great movie. Then what happens is Matt Damon's character decides he

0:19:52 > 0:19:55will downsize and when he does he discovers he is isolated and alone

0:19:55 > 0:20:00and discontent, just like it was in the bigger world, although he is

0:20:00 > 0:20:03much smaller. Unfortunately what happens to the film is it loses its

0:20:03 > 0:20:07direction. For a start, once you get into the small community there's

0:20:07 > 0:20:13very little of that interacting with a one and most of the movies where

0:20:13 > 0:20:18they deal with miniaturisation it is the small versus large. Here, there

0:20:18 > 0:20:22are large sections where you can forget you are in a small world,

0:20:22 > 0:20:27which is kind of the point but makes it interesting. More troublesome is

0:20:27 > 0:20:33the number of threads it is dealing with. The eco- crisis, the personal

0:20:33 > 0:20:37crises, generally the middle-aged malaise. Some either as elements

0:20:37 > 0:20:45don't only not come together, they start completely fracturing.

0:20:45 > 0:20:47The film is not short.

0:20:47 > 0:20:51It is two and a quarter hours long and it could have done with some

0:20:51 > 0:20:52downsizing in its running time, frankly.

0:20:52 > 0:20:56After the initial setup and promise, after what looked like being a good

0:20:56 > 0:20:58use of a science fiction premise, it falls apart.

0:20:58 > 0:21:01It's a shame because there are lots of interesting ideas

0:21:01 > 0:21:05and it's always good to see a director aiming big even if it

0:21:05 > 0:21:06does not come together.

0:21:06 > 0:21:10But I have to say there was a good half of it I find frustrating.

0:21:10 > 0:21:13Having given you all these ideas, it then does not know

0:21:13 > 0:21:15what to do with them.

0:21:15 > 0:21:18It does not know whether it wants to be funny, satirical,

0:21:18 > 0:21:22sombre about the fate of the planet or whether it wants to concentrate

0:21:22 > 0:21:23on a marriage falling apart.

0:21:23 > 0:21:25It ends up not satisfying any of them.

0:21:25 > 0:21:27Unfortunately, it is terribly unsatisfying, despite

0:21:27 > 0:21:34the fact it starts so well.

0:21:34 > 0:21:36Very disappointing. I was a big fan of Sideways.

0:21:36 > 0:21:40Me, too.

0:21:40 > 0:21:43And I am a very big fan of Wallace and Gromit.

0:21:43 > 0:21:44And no disappointment for Earlyman.

0:21:44 > 0:21:49A Stone Age clanis driven out of its valley by the arrival

0:21:49 > 0:21:53of Lord Knuth who says the Stone Age is over and long live

0:21:53 > 0:21:58the age of bronze.

0:21:58 > 0:22:02What then happens is the young hero, Dug, agrees to have a football match

0:22:02 > 0:22:03for ownership of the valley.

0:22:03 > 0:22:08It turns out that way back in his heritage,

0:22:08 > 0:22:16football is deep in his genes.

0:22:17 > 0:22:19However, all his tribesmen can't play football,

0:22:19 > 0:22:22so they have to recruit a young woman to teach them

0:22:22 > 0:22:25to get the match ready. Firstly, the visuals are incredible.

0:22:25 > 0:22:32They use some computer graphics to get a sense of stadium size,

0:22:32 > 0:22:34but all the primary animation has that Aardman feel,

0:22:34 > 0:22:41it is physical, and I can see you looking at these images.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42It is fantastic.

0:22:42 > 0:22:42It is wonderful.

0:22:42 > 0:22:44And it is properly funny.

0:22:44 > 0:22:46It has great slapstick jokes that referred

0:22:46 > 0:22:53to Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton.

0:22:53 > 0:22:56There is a homage at the very beginning, but it is also not

0:22:56 > 0:22:58about straightforward end of the pier, innuendo humour.

0:22:58 > 0:23:00I started laughing right from the very beginning.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03I never lost it, I laughed all the way through.

0:23:03 > 0:23:06In the screening there was only me and one other person.

0:23:06 > 0:23:14I became embarrassed by how much I was laughing.

0:23:14 > 0:23:15Were they enjoying it too?

0:23:15 > 0:23:18They were enjoying it but not as much as I was.

0:23:18 > 0:23:21You see so many comedies with insufficient laughter.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24All the way through this I chuckled and I was delighted by the visuals.

0:23:24 > 0:23:32The story was charming.

0:23:35 > 0:23:39And I can go on my own, I don't need to find a child?

0:23:39 > 0:23:40Everybody understands it.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43They make genuine family films for people of all ages.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46I would happily go back and see it again, not least

0:23:46 > 0:23:49because they were so many fleeting sight gags that I did not catch

0:23:49 > 0:23:50the first time round.

0:23:50 > 0:23:52I want to see it again.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56I love Nick Park, he does a great job.

0:23:56 > 0:23:57A genius. Your third choice?

0:23:57 > 0:23:58Last Flag Flying.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01It is adapted from a novel and The Last Detail was adapted

0:24:01 > 0:24:04into a film and this is the novel sequel to his novel.

0:24:04 > 0:24:12It is an adaptation of a novel that is not a sequel.

0:24:13 > 0:24:16We are going to test people on that.

0:24:16 > 0:24:19The story is three former Marines are reunited decades later

0:24:19 > 0:24:22when one of their sons dies in Iraq and they go

0:24:22 > 0:24:23on a road trip together.

0:24:23 > 0:24:25One of them has taken holy orders.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29They go on a road trip together and they bicker and the bond

0:24:29 > 0:24:32and they talk about the past and the present.

0:24:32 > 0:24:39Here is a clip.

0:24:39 > 0:24:41What if I don't like it?

0:24:41 > 0:24:46We get stuck with a contract for two years?

0:24:46 > 0:24:46Two years.

0:24:46 > 0:24:49What if you fall down? Have you thought of that?

0:24:49 > 0:24:51With your legs that is a possibility.

0:24:51 > 0:24:54You cannot get up and nobody can see you?

0:24:54 > 0:24:57But with your mobile phone you can get it out

0:24:57 > 0:25:00and if you could see the numbers, your glasses, I can't see,

0:25:00 > 0:25:08help me, I cannot get up.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12911 calls do not count against minutes either.

0:25:12 > 0:25:13Come on!

0:25:13 > 0:25:16If I say yes, Will you shut the hell up?

0:25:16 > 0:25:24The joy of it is the performances. Laurence Fishburne is really good.

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Steve Carrell is the person facing up to grief.

0:25:29 > 0:25:31I think he does that really brilliantly.

0:25:31 > 0:25:34If you go there looking for a film that is as cutting

0:25:34 > 0:25:37edge as the last detail, you will be disappointed.

0:25:37 > 0:25:41If you see it as a film in its own right and you are able

0:25:41 > 0:25:44to enjoy the ensemble performances, it is a film about their

0:25:44 > 0:25:46relationship, it is melancholic, it is sad and nostalgic.

0:25:46 > 0:25:53It is often laughed out loud funny. It will not change the world.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56Rather than saying it is the sequel, it is more of a footnote,

0:25:56 > 0:25:59but a rather charming footnote, largely because the three central

0:25:59 > 0:26:07performances carry it through. You were enjoying that clip.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14Yes. It is a film that stands on its own.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17Oddly enough, the problem becomes if you try and put it next to others

0:26:17 > 0:26:20and it is a different kettle of fish.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23It is a not sequel to the movie. Is that clear?

0:26:23 > 0:26:29I think so.

0:26:29 > 0:26:35And the best DVD?

0:26:35 > 0:26:38Coco came out last week and I love Three Billboards.

0:26:38 > 0:26:40It is great that Pixar animation is finally back

0:26:40 > 0:26:42at the top of its game.

0:26:42 > 0:26:49Deals with some really complicated subjects.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52Life, death, grief, loss, memory, but it does it in a way that

0:26:52 > 0:26:54children and adults alike can watch it.

0:26:54 > 0:26:58It looks beautiful.

0:26:58 > 0:27:02If you see it and you love it, get The Book Of Life on DVD.

0:27:02 > 0:27:06It is a film that prefigures many themes and is also a very good

0:27:06 > 0:27:09movie.

0:27:09 > 0:27:10And DVD.

0:27:10 > 0:27:14I felt ignorant when I read lots about this because of your

0:27:14 > 0:27:15forthcoming recommendation, and it sounds fascinating.

0:27:15 > 0:27:21I felt bad I did not know very much about it.

0:27:21 > 0:27:25In Between is a story about three women living in Tel Aviv,

0:27:25 > 0:27:27each fighting their own personal battle for freedom against

0:27:27 > 0:27:28political, religious and social repression.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30It is beautifully observed, fantastic performances,

0:27:30 > 0:27:38really, really well written.

0:27:39 > 0:27:41It deals with difficult subject matter, often very

0:27:41 > 0:27:42light-hearted and funny.

0:27:42 > 0:27:45It has a beautifully enigmatic ending and the best way

0:27:45 > 0:27:47of describing it is you have seen The Graduate?

0:27:47 > 0:27:49Yes!

0:27:49 > 0:27:52At the end is that incredible sense of ambiguity, I think it has that.

0:27:52 > 0:28:00It is really well worth seeing.

0:28:00 > 0:28:04It didn't get a huge theatrical release, but I have yet to meet

0:28:04 > 0:28:12anyone who has seen it who has not loved it.

0:28:12 > 0:28:13No greater recommendation than that.

0:28:13 > 0:28:15Thank you very much, Mark. An interesting week.

0:28:15 > 0:28:19We are now creeping up towards awards season as well.

0:28:19 > 0:28:21Right in the middle of it.

0:28:21 > 0:28:23Lots to talk about in the coming weeks.

0:28:23 > 0:28:26A quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news

0:28:26 > 0:28:34and reviews from across the BBC online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode.

0:28:35 > 0:28:38And you can find all our previous programmes on the BBC iPlayer.

0:28:38 > 0:28:39That's it for this week.

0:28:39 > 0:28:40Enjoy your cinema going.

0:28:40 > 0:28:42See you next time.

0:28:42 > 0:28:45Goodbye.

0:28:56 > 0:28:59Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

0:28:59 > 0:29:04Here's a summary of the main stories today from BBC News: All current

0:29:04 > 0:29:08rate and sexual assault cases in England and Wales are being reviewed

0:29:08 > 0:29:13as a matter of urgency -- rape. The Director of Public Prosecutions

0:29:13 > 0:29:16announcement follows the collapse of several recent trials including that

0:29:16 > 0:29:21of 22-year-old Liam Allen, he was accused of rape but the case against

0:29:21 > 0:29:25him was dropped after it emerged police failed to hand over vital

0:29:25 > 0:29:28phone records. It's believed a number of trials could be stopped as

0:29:28 > 0:29:29a result of the review.

0:29:29 > 0:29:33The Prime Minister has welcomed a landmark ruling by trade authorities

0:29:33 > 0:29:37in the US overturning a decision to impose huge tariffs on planes partly

0:29:37 > 0:29:43built in the UK. The aerospace firm Bombardier won a surprise victory as

0:29:43 > 0:29:47the dispute with the broking company Boeing about selling passenger jets

0:29:47 > 0:29:51to US airlines. The wings for the planes are manufacturing in Belfast

0:29:51 > 0:29:55where unions said around 1000 jobs could have been at risk at the

0:29:55 > 0:30:01decision gone against them.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03The workforce has stayed squarely behind this,

0:30:03 > 0:30:06put their shoulder to the wheel, we've seen politicians nationally

0:30:06 > 0:30:09given up the ghost saying this is something that can't be

0:30:09 > 0:30:11overturned, we've demonstrated tonight the power of trade Unions

0:30:11 > 0:30:14globally, we work with our colleagues in Canada the US and this

0:30:14 > 0:30:16is a victory for workers to like.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19Residence in Paris are bracing themselves for further disruption as

0:30:19 > 0:30:24flooding is expected to reach its peak -- residents. Is the wettest

0:30:24 > 0:30:27January in more than a century and the River Seine got five metres

0:30:27 > 0:30:31above normal levels yesterday that its. Hundreds have been evacuated

0:30:31 > 0:30:36and tunnels and roads have been sealed off. The Louvre museum has

0:30:36 > 0:30:39shut down displays on lower floors as a precaution.

0:30:39 > 0:30:44The US gymnastics board will resign because of its handling of a sex

0:30:44 > 0:30:48abuse scandal involving former team Doctor Larry Nassar. The Olympic

0:30:48 > 0:30:52Committee had threatened to strip the organisation of powers had the

0:30:52 > 0:30:57directors bailed to step down. Larry Nassar has been given a sentence of

0:30:57 > 0:31:01175 years for abusing more than 150 female gymnasts.

0:31:01 > 0:31:05New research has shown companies are abusing a loophole in the law to put

0:31:05 > 0:31:09up phone boxes on the high street and then using them as little more

0:31:09 > 0:31:12than advertising boards. The Local Government Association said there's

0:31:12 > 0:31:15been a tenfold increase in applications to install the boxes

0:31:15 > 0:31:21which don't require formal planning permission.

0:31:21 > 0:31:25It's a trip to collect an engagement ring which took a very dramatic

0:31:25 > 0:31:29turn. And the fiddler from Preston was in a jewellery shop with his

0:31:29 > 0:31:43fiancee. Andy calmly got his jacket off, stop the robber from leaving.

0:31:43 > 0:31:52-- stopped. Wrestles into the ground, the owner joined into

0:31:52 > 0:31:59restrain the suspect and then the police arrived moments later. Nobody

0:31:59 > 0:32:05is advising anyone to have a go in these circumstances, but you do have

0:32:05 > 0:32:11to say he did that with some style. The jacket removed calmly and then

0:32:11 > 0:32:14he said you're not taking anything!

0:32:14 > 0:32:19Good morning, Mike.No FA Cup fairytale for Yeovil town, well

0:32:19 > 0:32:23beaten by Manchester United in the end and the debut man, Alexis

0:32:23 > 0:32:25Sanchez, who did pretty well.

0:32:25 > 0:32:29A good debut for the man worth 18 times the whole Yeovil squad as 12

0:32:29 > 0:32:36time winners Manchester United eased to a 4-0 win. A goal for Marcus

0:32:36 > 0:32:41Rashford set up by Sanchez got them on the on their way just before

0:32:41 > 0:32:46half-time. Then the 87 league places separating the sides started to show

0:32:46 > 0:32:53as Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Lukaku added second-half goals.

0:32:53 > 0:32:57A few days after joining Manchester United from Arsenal in the swap

0:32:57 > 0:33:00deal, Jose Mourinho chose to start Alexis Sanchez, the highest-paid

0:33:00 > 0:33:06player in Premier League history. He was kicked, booed by the locals but

0:33:06 > 0:33:10sent home with the man of the match award. How did his manager think he

0:33:10 > 0:33:12got on?

0:33:12 > 0:33:17He will bring us all so this extra maturity and class so we are very

0:33:17 > 0:33:22pleased with him and he was keen to play, I know that was going to be

0:33:22 > 0:33:27difficult, I knew that was going to be an easy one for him but I'm happy

0:33:27 > 0:33:31with his performance.

0:33:31 > 0:33:35The night's other tie was an all Championship match with Sheffield

0:33:35 > 0:33:38Wednesday beating Reading to earn a place in the fifth round 3-1 at

0:33:38 > 0:33:43Hillsborough.

0:33:45 > 0:33:48There are 12 other fourth-round ties taking place today, among them

0:33:48 > 0:33:55Newport County of League two taking on... Newport nearly went out of the

0:33:55 > 0:33:58league last season and now they are pushing for a play-off place and

0:33:58 > 0:34:02remember, they beat Leeds United in the last round.

0:34:02 > 0:34:05Beating Leeds was my highlight because I could enjoy that game and

0:34:05 > 0:34:10it was due to our hard work of getting in that position. And what

0:34:10 > 0:34:14happened at the end of last season was obviously more important for the

0:34:14 > 0:34:18football club. You only have to see the struggles Hartlepool are going

0:34:18 > 0:34:22through and it could quite easily have been asked. We're fortunate.

0:34:22 > 0:34:26We're working hard to keep improving and that's what we always do.

0:34:26 > 0:34:30There will be a new women's champion happy Australia Day open this

0:34:30 > 0:34:34morning in just under two hours. Simona Halep and Wozniacki meet in

0:34:34 > 0:34:38the final, both looking to win a maiden grandslam and the world

0:34:38 > 0:34:42number one ranking is also at stake. Wozniacki will go above Halep if she

0:34:42 > 0:34:44wins.

0:34:44 > 0:34:48I'm just excited, it's another finals, it's another great two weeks

0:34:48 > 0:34:53and regardless of what happens now I've done my best and when you go

0:34:53 > 0:34:57out there on Saturday you have everything to win.

0:34:57 > 0:35:01She's a strong opponent. I've played her many times. Like you said, I've

0:35:01 > 0:35:06won against her many times so it's going to be a different match, a new

0:35:06 > 0:35:09match, tough one, emotions are there, pressure is therefore both of

0:35:09 > 0:35:13us so we'll see what's going to happen, I can't say anything else

0:35:13 > 0:35:14about it.

0:35:14 > 0:35:20Live commentary of the women's final starts from 8:30am and highlights

0:35:20 > 0:35:24are on BBC One from 1:15pm this afternoon.

0:35:24 > 0:35:28From a first-time winner to a serial grandslam champion, tomorrow morning

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Federer plays a record seventh Australian Open men's singles final

0:35:32 > 0:35:35when he plays Marin Cilic in Melbourne looking for a 20th

0:35:35 > 0:35:43grandslam title. His semi-final opponent Chung was retired with

0:35:43 > 0:35:47severe blisters. Federer thrashed Cilic in Wimbledon last year but

0:35:47 > 0:35:51they met in more unusual surroundings a couple of months ago.

0:35:51 > 0:35:55I'm excited to play against him, he's a great guy, we won the Laver

0:35:55 > 0:36:00Cup and had a blast, we saw each other on vacation believe it or not.

0:36:00 > 0:36:04Where was that?In the Maldives a couple of months ago, it was just

0:36:04 > 0:36:08the two of us and we were looking for a hitting partner and it

0:36:08 > 0:36:11happened we were both there, the weirdest thing. I said the practice

0:36:11 > 0:36:15in the tropicals helped us get to the final this time around. Very

0:36:15 > 0:36:18cool and I can't wait.

0:36:18 > 0:36:22Even on holiday they play tennis. It's funny, you go around the world

0:36:22 > 0:36:26on holiday and then you bump into a tennis rival.And then you just say,

0:36:26 > 0:36:32let's have a game!What else can you do? I think you have sorted out my

0:36:32 > 0:36:34Tuft, Naga, apologies!

0:36:34 > 0:36:39Ben Stokes has been snapped up this morning for £1.4 million in the

0:36:39 > 0:36:43auction for the IPL. He has been bought by the register and Royals

0:36:43 > 0:36:48despite facing a charge for affray after an incident outside the

0:36:48 > 0:36:51nightclub in Bristol in September. He was the most valuable player last

0:36:51 > 0:36:55year at the 20, Twenty20 tournament.

0:36:55 > 0:36:59England captain Joe Root is on Seoul, he's in the auction for the

0:36:59 > 0:37:04first time along with other England players like Eoin Morgan, who is

0:37:04 > 0:37:07captaining England in Australia at the moment. He says they won't be

0:37:07 > 0:37:10changing their positive mindset despite losing in Adelaide in the

0:37:10 > 0:37:14fourth 1-dayer by three wickets yesterday. The England innings got

0:37:14 > 0:37:17off to that worst possible start losing the first five wickets for

0:37:17 > 0:37:22eight runs. Things improved slightly with Chris Woakes hitting an

0:37:22 > 0:37:26excellent 78 but their total of 196 never looked good enough with

0:37:26 > 0:37:30Australia cruising to the target with 13 overs to spare. The final

0:37:30 > 0:37:33match of the series, which England have already won, is in Perth

0:37:33 > 0:37:34tomorrow.

0:37:34 > 0:37:38The third day of the third test between South Africa and India came

0:37:38 > 0:37:42to a dramatic halt when umpires decided the pitch in Johannesburg

0:37:42 > 0:37:48was too dangerous for play to continue. Chasing 241 to win the

0:37:48 > 0:37:52match in the final innings, Elgar was hit on the helmet by a short

0:37:52 > 0:37:58ball from India's bowled a. Discussions took place between the

0:37:58 > 0:38:04umpires and play was abandoned for the day. Play will resume later this

0:38:04 > 0:38:05morning.

0:38:05 > 0:38:09It isn't just Roger Federer doing it for the older sports men, Anderson

0:38:09 > 0:38:13has become the oldest winner of a snowboard or cup event. He's not

0:38:13 > 0:38:21really that old, 42, depends how old you are! It is his 28th career win

0:38:21 > 0:38:24in Bulgaria in the giant slalom. Good timing. The penultimate World

0:38:24 > 0:38:30Cup event for, before the Winter Olympics. Anderson is the only rider

0:38:30 > 0:38:33to have competed in the Winter Olympics since snowboarding made its

0:38:33 > 0:38:38debut in 1998.

0:38:38 > 0:38:4642 is very old for snowboarding. Very much an old person's sport!Do

0:38:46 > 0:38:53you know why he is smiling?Because he is being mean.42 is never old.

0:38:53 > 0:38:57Talking of the Winter Olympics being three weeks away, a moving story to

0:38:57 > 0:39:02show how the slopes are opening up to all, albeit with mountainous

0:39:02 > 0:39:06challenges. Ed Stevens was a British junior champion but at 19 A car

0:39:06 > 0:39:10accident left him with a traumatic brain injury and many convocations,

0:39:10 > 0:39:15however, this week, five years on, he's done what many thought was

0:39:15 > 0:39:20impossible and returned to the slopes in Andorra to learn to sit

0:39:20 > 0:39:23ski. I went with him.

0:39:23 > 0:39:27Getting ready for one of the greatest boarding comebacks. It's

0:39:27 > 0:39:31rumoured that Gloucestershire -- in his room in Gloucestershire where he

0:39:31 > 0:39:36stays reminders when he was British ski champion before at 19 he was

0:39:36 > 0:39:40left with a brain injury and complex disabilities.Are used to do a lot

0:39:40 > 0:39:45of skiing, would you like to see me ski?He was keen to show me how he

0:39:45 > 0:39:49got to the top and for five years these on a mission to get back

0:39:49 > 0:39:53their. He's come a long way from lifting his head to be able to greet

0:39:53 > 0:39:58his mum in the morning again. Morning, mum.Fantastic! You can't

0:39:58 > 0:40:03talk and laugh at the same time, you know that!Physiotherapy staff at

0:40:03 > 0:40:07the college have help him realise his main dream, strengthening his

0:40:07 > 0:40:11head and right shoulder muscles that will help him carve his own way down

0:40:11 > 0:40:18the mountain once more.It's been a massive part of his life. To think

0:40:18 > 0:40:22that he's going to have a go at doing it again is just amazing,

0:40:22 > 0:40:26yeah. It means more than you can imagine.

0:40:26 > 0:40:30This week the moment came in Andorra. It was a gamble because

0:40:30 > 0:40:34neither Ed or anyone else knew exactly how he would react to being

0:40:34 > 0:40:38back on the slopes. This is it and it's a moment his family never

0:40:38 > 0:40:42thought they would seek and it's not just a historic moment for him as we

0:40:42 > 0:40:46go off down the mountain but also for the whole sport because in a way

0:40:46 > 0:40:51this opens up the mountains for all. Although he was being guided at

0:40:51 > 0:40:56first, his sit ski has been adapted so Ed can soon control his own

0:40:56 > 0:40:59direction and speed with his head rather than relying on someone

0:40:59 > 0:41:03pushing him on a wheelchair. By the end of this week he was nearly ready

0:41:03 > 0:41:10to fly down the slope alone.How was it? Pretty amazing for him to do

0:41:10 > 0:41:17this. And to be taking control. Most of the students at national

0:41:17 > 0:41:22star need assistance with everything they do, so to be able to go out in

0:41:22 > 0:41:25a sit ski Andrew Leigh and experience the freedom skiing gives

0:41:25 > 0:41:29them, not to be wrapped in cotton wool, it's something hard to

0:41:29 > 0:41:37replicate. Ed still has the ability to ski and enjoy it.Ed wasn't

0:41:37 > 0:41:40alone, 20 students from national star were back on the slopes and

0:41:40 > 0:41:45third years showed how much freedom they can have.It really does open

0:41:45 > 0:41:50up the entire mountain. We really aim for giving everyone the maximum

0:41:50 > 0:41:56independence possible.Josh, Zoe, Dom and Abby Worth, followed and the

0:41:56 > 0:42:00students wanted to give me a taste of how much skill is needed to

0:42:00 > 0:42:05control your dissent with your upper body. I thought we were off, I

0:42:05 > 0:42:08thought we were over! But on the slopes I was always going

0:42:08 > 0:42:13to be in the shadow of a former British champion. Another reason you

0:42:13 > 0:42:19love skiing, Ed, is the apres ski. And you said there's some karaoke in

0:42:19 > 0:42:26there? I'll buy you a beer! Ed of opted for a side and the apres

0:42:26 > 0:42:30ski is a crucial part of this whole experience as these amazing athletes

0:42:30 > 0:42:38posted their success. And independence.

0:42:42 > 0:42:46A remarkable experience. They have such a team effort, you have the

0:42:46 > 0:42:51instructors and the staff. But you can't wrap them in cotton wool, let

0:42:51 > 0:42:55them go on their own.When you were sitting there, what was your

0:42:55 > 0:43:03feeling?It was very unusual.You normally ski?Normally I do but

0:43:03 > 0:43:08badly, it is very strange just using your upper body strength, you felt

0:43:08 > 0:43:11like you were tipping the whole time. Very hard. Lots of challenges

0:43:11 > 0:43:18to overcome to get down, amazing skills.Thanks very much, Mike.

0:43:18 > 0:43:22You're watching Breakfast from BBC News, the main stories: An urgent

0:43:22 > 0:43:26review has been launched into every active rape and serious sexual

0:43:26 > 0:43:29assault case in England and Wales after the collapse of several

0:43:29 > 0:43:33trials. Around 1000 jobs in Belfast appear

0:43:33 > 0:43:36to have been saved after the aerospace firm Bombardier won a

0:43:36 > 0:43:41landmark case against the American company Boeing.

0:43:41 > 0:43:46Time to take a look at the weather and Susan has everything about

0:43:46 > 0:43:50what's going on. Good morning. Many of us very grateful that we're not

0:43:50 > 0:43:54in Paris this weekend?

0:43:54 > 0:43:58Indeed. A lot of difficult weather across France at the morning. Paris

0:43:58 > 0:44:03looks in the clear at the moment, but obviously we have seen stories

0:44:03 > 0:44:07about the flooding and the December to January period this year was the

0:44:07 > 0:44:12third wettest on record. But actually about half of France has

0:44:12 > 0:44:16severe flood alerts at the moment. A lot of problems in the south, low

0:44:16 > 0:44:20pressure here at the moment. A lot of snowmelt and a lot of rain, so

0:44:20 > 0:44:28the situation is very touch and go and actually this area of low

0:44:28 > 0:44:32pressure could mean difficult conditions on the slopes. Fresh snow

0:44:32 > 0:44:36is great, as it might mean you can't get in and out of your results, it

0:44:36 > 0:44:40could mean poor visibility and it could mean a high risk of avalanche.

0:44:40 > 0:44:46Anyway, let's head back to city the British Isles. Really this is our

0:44:46 > 0:44:52legacy for the weekend. This big area of cloud streaming all the way

0:44:52 > 0:44:55back into the Atlantic and it will also bring with it some rain. We've

0:44:55 > 0:44:59got weather fronts tucked in there, and it's just pushing across

0:44:59 > 0:45:04Northern Ireland. It is nearly out of the way to the east of Northern

0:45:04 > 0:45:07Ireland and the picture this morning in Northern Ireland will be

0:45:07 > 0:45:11improving. However, for Scotland and northern England the front is firmly

0:45:11 > 0:45:15in place at 9am, so a wet start to the day. A windy prospect for

0:45:15 > 0:45:21Scotland, to the north and west. Gales and may be severe gales for a

0:45:21 > 0:45:24time. Heavy rain across the hills to the north-west of England. Patchy to

0:45:24 > 0:45:29the east of the Pennines. Drizzly rain at first in the Midlands, but

0:45:29 > 0:45:33then a wet story for much of the morning for the Midlands and Wales

0:45:33 > 0:45:38and the south-west of England. Further east it is clear, some early

0:45:38 > 0:45:42sunshine and quite chilly. It will get mild quite quickly as the

0:45:42 > 0:45:47south-westerly kicks in and it will also get cloudy and then it will be

0:45:47 > 0:45:50the south-east of England and East Anglia that has the wet weather this

0:45:50 > 0:45:54afternoon. Elsewhere it will become dry. Things are brighter the

0:45:54 > 0:45:56Scotland and northern England. Showers in northern Scotland.

0:45:56 > 0:46:02Further south, still stuck with quite a lot of low cloud, mist and

0:46:02 > 0:46:07murk. It is breezy to take us through this evening. The wind will

0:46:07 > 0:46:12be lighter into the small hours. Chilly briefly, but with a cloud in

0:46:12 > 0:46:17the Atlantic we will get a lot more of that piling across us towards the

0:46:17 > 0:46:21end of the night, so it will be a mild start to Sunday. Rain on the

0:46:21 > 0:46:25forecast from the word go. This is the weather front. Going nowhere in

0:46:25 > 0:46:30a hurry. Through Sunday pretty great picture. Still windy across Scotland

0:46:30 > 0:46:35and Northern Ireland. Outbreaks of rain for much of the day. Further

0:46:35 > 0:46:40south, largely dry and not very bright. But it will be mild. In

0:46:40 > 0:46:45fact, in some spots we could see temperatures as high as 14 or 15

0:46:45 > 0:46:49degrees, which is slightly freakishly warm for January. Here is

0:46:49 > 0:46:57Monday. It will be heavy for a time as it tucks into England and Wales

0:46:57 > 0:47:01and some cooler air pushing into Scotland and Northern Ireland.

0:47:01 > 0:47:07Daytime highs are close to average, 7-8, but still dub -- double figures

0:47:07 > 0:47:07on

0:47:07 > 0:47:097-8, but still dub -- double figures on Monday.

0:47:09 > 0:47:14Those higher temperatures usually come with rain, don't they?

0:47:14 > 0:47:20But also quite a lot of low cloud. Very mild air that gets pulled up

0:47:20 > 0:47:27from the south. So not... It's not an early taste of spring, is it?

0:47:27 > 0:47:30It certainly isn't. Thank you.

0:47:30 > 0:47:34Now it's time for Click.

0:47:34 > 0:47:46This week the team have gone to San Francisco.

0:48:00 > 0:48:03Ah, the streets of San Francisco!

0:48:03 > 0:48:08Mecca for technology innovators and aficionados.

0:48:08 > 0:48:11A destination where the cult of geek reigns supreme.

0:48:11 > 0:48:13Everyone's got that billion-dollar idea here and everyone wants

0:48:13 > 0:48:21to save the world.

0:48:22 > 0:48:25The ethos of nothing's impossible runs in the veins and Twitter feeds

0:48:25 > 0:48:30of every twentysomething Zuckerberg wannabe.

0:48:30 > 0:48:34Now Silicon Valley is taking on life's biggest challenge, death.

0:48:34 > 0:48:38Dave Lee has been looking at how Silicon Valley is trying to help us

0:48:38 > 0:48:42all live longer.

0:48:42 > 0:48:45This will be my last meal for 36 hours.

0:48:45 > 0:48:48Like a growing number of people in Silicon Valley,

0:48:48 > 0:48:50I'm about to try fasting, something some here believe

0:48:50 > 0:48:52could contribute to extending our lifespan.

0:48:52 > 0:48:56My advice to you, just sleep in really late so you don't have

0:48:56 > 0:48:59to deal with it!

0:48:59 > 0:49:00Kristen Brown is a biotechnology journalist.

0:49:00 > 0:49:03She tells me living longer is becoming something

0:49:03 > 0:49:06of an obsession for many techies.

0:49:06 > 0:49:10We tend to see people not just thinking of their body as a machine

0:49:10 > 0:49:13but talking about it metaphorically as a machine.

0:49:13 > 0:49:15Are they actually making any progress?

0:49:15 > 0:49:18It's growing so quickly right now, we understand so much more this year

0:49:18 > 0:49:22than we did last year even but the other thing about science

0:49:22 > 0:49:29is the more questions you answer, the more questions there are.

0:49:29 > 0:49:32One incredible idea being tested here can be traced back to this man,

0:49:32 > 0:49:33Paul Bert.

0:49:33 > 0:49:38In the mid-1800s, he claimed if you took an old mouse

0:49:38 > 0:49:40and literally stitched it together with a young mouse,

0:49:40 > 0:49:44the young mouse would become more agile, have a better memory and heal

0:49:44 > 0:49:47more quickly once it had the young blood flowing through its veins.

0:49:47 > 0:49:49Of course we can't start stitching humans together,

0:49:49 > 0:49:57but there is a start-up that thinks it can do than expected thing.

0:49:58 > 0:50:01Alkahest is a California based start-up that believes weekly

0:50:01 > 0:50:03injections of blood plasma from young people could fight

0:50:03 > 0:50:06the onest of Alzheimer's.

0:50:06 > 0:50:10We treated these patients once a week for four weeks with one unit

0:50:10 > 0:50:13of plasma, and we found the treatment was safe and very

0:50:13 > 0:50:20importantly, although it was a short study to see learning and memory

0:50:20 > 0:50:28improvements, but it was good enough to see some near-term improvements.

0:50:31 > 0:50:35The team said it found those treated were more capable of basic daily

0:50:35 > 0:50:37tasks and more aware of their surroundings.

0:50:37 > 0:50:38Encouraging but far from conclusive.

0:50:38 > 0:50:43Bigger trials are happening soon.

0:50:43 > 0:50:47We're basically fertilising the brain so to speak

0:50:47 > 0:50:49with this protein cocktail.

0:50:49 > 0:50:52To get some answers on whether or not fantastical ideas

0:50:52 > 0:50:55could actually work, I went to visit one of the world's

0:50:55 > 0:50:57foremost experts on ageing.

0:50:57 > 0:51:00One of the ideas we're looking at is fasting and how that can

0:51:00 > 0:51:02perhaps rejuvenate the body in some way.

0:51:02 > 0:51:07If that's true, what's the science behind that?

0:51:07 > 0:51:09Fasting elicits a response in your body that triggers

0:51:09 > 0:51:17a protection against many of the diseases associated with age.

0:51:18 > 0:51:20So there's growing realisation that multiple forms of fasting might

0:51:20 > 0:51:23actually be beneficial in the long-term.

0:51:23 > 0:51:26One of them or perhaps outrageous ideas is that you can transfer young

0:51:26 > 0:51:30blood into an older person and that will rejuvenate and slow the ageing

0:51:30 > 0:51:31process, is that true?

0:51:31 > 0:51:34First let's talk about the science in mice.

0:51:34 > 0:51:38It is actually amazing work.

0:51:38 > 0:51:46The science is really strong.

0:51:47 > 0:51:51Now, taking this and bringing it to humans is a completely different

0:51:51 > 0:51:55story, so the idea for example that one would take human plasma or human

0:51:55 > 0:51:58plasma product and give it to humans to prevent ageing is,

0:51:58 > 0:51:59in my opinion, lunacy.

0:51:59 > 0:52:00Finally, my 36 hours were up.

0:52:00 > 0:52:04I'm not sure it's worth it, the lows I had last night and this

0:52:04 > 0:52:12morning were awful and to do that regularly I think might lead

0:52:12 > 0:52:19to a longer life but it certainly wouldn't be a happier one.

0:52:19 > 0:52:24What could be really interesting, though, is if these companies can

0:52:24 > 0:52:29recreate the positive effects of fasting without the hard work

0:52:29 > 0:52:32of having to go without food for such a long period of time.

0:52:32 > 0:52:35But for now, I think I'm going to choose breakfast.

0:52:35 > 0:52:39Now, we've been looking at various ways to try and extend human life,

0:52:39 > 0:52:41possibly indefinitely, but the researchers can't do it yet

0:52:41 > 0:52:44and so, until they can, there are those who are offering

0:52:44 > 0:52:46to put your life on pause.

0:52:46 > 0:52:54Marc Cieslak has been to Arizona to meet the self-preservation society.

0:52:58 > 0:53:01Death and taxes, as the saying goes, are the two things none

0:53:01 > 0:53:03of us can avoid.

0:53:03 > 0:53:05What about if there was a workaround for death,

0:53:05 > 0:53:13some way of extending our physical existence on this planet?

0:53:13 > 0:53:16Alcor was founded in 1972 in order to preserve people from the point

0:53:16 > 0:53:23of death, freeze them and then when technology is sufficiently

0:53:23 > 0:53:25advanced revive them in the future.

0:53:25 > 0:53:29A process it calls cryonics.

0:53:29 > 0:53:31This is an interesting infographic on the history of cryonics,

0:53:31 > 0:53:33which starts actually as far back as 1773,

0:53:33 > 0:53:36when Benjamin Franklin thought about the future of America

0:53:36 > 0:53:42and speculated that maybe he could be pickled in a vat

0:53:42 > 0:53:45of madeira with his best friends to see how the country came out.

0:53:45 > 0:53:47What goes on in this space here?

0:53:47 > 0:53:49Obviously this simulates a procedure you would normally perform

0:53:49 > 0:53:50when somebody dies?

0:53:50 > 0:53:50Exactly.

0:53:50 > 0:53:53We have to wait for the legal death to be declared.

0:53:53 > 0:53:57At that point we move the patient from the bed to the ice bath.

0:53:57 > 0:54:00We're gonna cover them with ice.

0:54:00 > 0:54:03And at the same time, even though they've been called

0:54:03 > 0:54:05legally dead, we're gonna restart all kinds of things.

0:54:05 > 0:54:07We're gonna use a respirator to recover breathing,

0:54:07 > 0:54:11we will use this mechanical CPR device and the reason we're doing

0:54:11 > 0:54:14that is that we want to administer a series of different medications

0:54:14 > 0:54:15to protect the cells.

0:54:15 > 0:54:18So this is even though the patient themselves is dead at this point?

0:54:18 > 0:54:19Right.

0:54:19 > 0:54:23It's very much like when you donate an organ, even though the person has

0:54:23 > 0:54:26been declared dead that doesn't mean all of the cells are suddenly dead.

0:54:26 > 0:54:28Patients are effectively pumped full of antifreeze

0:54:28 > 0:54:30to protect their tissue from the freezing process

0:54:30 > 0:54:32which comes later.

0:54:32 > 0:54:36It costs up to $200,000 to preserve a full body and $60,000 if somebody

0:54:36 > 0:54:39just wants their head preserved.

0:54:39 > 0:54:41So this is our operating room.

0:54:41 > 0:54:43The patient will be put on this special operating table.

0:54:43 > 0:54:48It's basically designed to shape the patient for long-term storage.

0:54:48 > 0:54:51We don't want someone at a very low temperature

0:54:51 > 0:54:52with their arm sticking out.

0:54:52 > 0:54:54It's very hard to fit into the capsule.

0:54:54 > 0:54:57This here as well, this is just for heads?

0:54:57 > 0:54:59So usually we'll begin on the operating table over

0:54:59 > 0:55:03there and then we do a neuro separation, a few vertebrae down,

0:55:03 > 0:55:05and then place the patient's cephalon, which is the brain

0:55:05 > 0:55:08plus the skull, upside down in the neuro ring.

0:55:08 > 0:55:11Essentially the same process, we're going to remove the blood

0:55:11 > 0:55:14and fluids from the brain and cryo protect them against ice formation.

0:55:14 > 0:55:17Why would people want their head separated from their body?

0:55:17 > 0:55:21I'm not going to come back just as a head,

0:55:21 > 0:55:25I'm going to get a new body and my view is that,

0:55:25 > 0:55:28unless I die early in an accident, then maybe I'm 95, 100-years-old

0:55:28 > 0:55:32if I'm lucky, my body's going to be in lousy shape anyway and the whole

0:55:32 > 0:55:34thing will have to be regenerated.

0:55:34 > 0:55:37Why go to the extra cost of storing my whole body,

0:55:37 > 0:55:40which is ten times the volume of just my head?

0:55:40 > 0:55:42The corridors here are lined with photos of people

0:55:42 > 0:55:44who are already frozen in Alcor's storage facility.

0:55:44 > 0:55:47This is the patient care base, where we currently store

0:55:47 > 0:55:48all of our patients.

0:55:48 > 0:55:49Currently 152.

0:55:49 > 0:55:50These are all of your patients?

0:55:50 > 0:55:54Yes, all of our patients here.

0:55:54 > 0:56:00Actually about two thirds of them are neuro patients.

0:56:00 > 0:56:01That means they're just heads?

0:56:01 > 0:56:02Yeah.

0:56:02 > 0:56:04So about half our living members are whole body.

0:56:04 > 0:56:06We actually have more neuro patients here.

0:56:06 > 0:56:12This can actually contain four whole body patients.

0:56:12 > 0:56:14Alcor doesn't have any legal obligation to the people stored

0:56:14 > 0:56:17here as they've technically donated their bodies to science.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20What happens if you have a power cut, for instance?

0:56:20 > 0:56:22Well, we don't need electricity for this.

0:56:22 > 0:56:26These are passive vessels, they're just gigantic,

0:56:26 > 0:56:29very expensive Thermos flasks and you don't plug your Thermos

0:56:29 > 0:56:31flask into electricity.

0:56:31 > 0:56:34We just use the liquid nitrogen, which boils off at -320,

0:56:34 > 0:56:39to maintain that temperature.

0:56:39 > 0:56:43Alcor says it's a non-profit making organisation and that it has 1,150

0:56:43 > 0:56:47people signed up for its services, including Silicon Valley billionaire

0:56:47 > 0:56:50Peter Thiel.

0:56:50 > 0:56:53But what motivates ordinary people to shell out up to $200,000

0:56:53 > 0:56:55for cryogenic preservation?

0:56:55 > 0:56:59Back in the UK, Derek Watkinson has signed himself and his family up

0:56:59 > 0:57:07for just that via a different outfit called The Cryonics Institute.

0:57:07 > 0:57:10I imagine being on my deathbed, dying, and then immediately waking

0:57:10 > 0:57:11up.

0:57:11 > 0:57:14If it's gonna work, I'm gonna wake up straightaway,

0:57:14 > 0:57:16'cause the passage of time won't mean anything,

0:57:16 > 0:57:19because I'm dead.

0:57:19 > 0:57:22So I'll wake up immediately and hopefully I'll be able

0:57:22 > 0:57:24to remember things.

0:57:24 > 0:57:26My memory will be intact, hopefully.

0:57:26 > 0:57:28Who I am.

0:57:28 > 0:57:31Your whole family is going to be preserved as well?

0:57:31 > 0:57:31Yeah.

0:57:31 > 0:57:35Luckily my wife and daughter are for the idea and they are signed

0:57:35 > 0:57:41up members of cryonics institute.

0:57:41 > 0:57:43But is this all too good to be true?

0:57:43 > 0:57:47We spoke to a neuroscientist who has serious misgivings about the basic

0:57:47 > 0:57:50foundations of cryonics.

0:57:50 > 0:57:53You really can't afford to freeze biological tissue until it's

0:57:53 > 0:57:55been appropriately protected.

0:57:55 > 0:57:58But unless you take it down to those low temperatures for protection

0:57:58 > 0:58:00quite quickly, it will continue to decompose.

0:58:00 > 0:58:03And my problem with the cryonics dream, the wishful thinking

0:58:03 > 0:58:05contracts that are sold, is that they haven't

0:58:05 > 0:58:07resolved that conflict.

0:58:07 > 0:58:15There's no evidence that they can get the antifreeze into all those

0:58:17 > 0:58:19micro nooks and crannies into the brain and satisfactorily

0:58:19 > 0:58:24protect it.

0:58:24 > 0:58:26We put this to Alcor, who provided a detailed response:

0:58:26 > 0:58:29So is this the ultimate insurance policy then?

0:58:43 > 0:58:45So is this the ultimate insurance policy then?

0:58:45 > 0:58:47Yeah, but I've not lost anything.

0:58:47 > 0:58:48A bit of money.

0:58:48 > 0:58:56But what's a bit of money!?

0:58:58 > 0:59:00That's it for the shortcut of Click in San Francisco.

0:59:00 > 0:59:04The full-length version is up on iPlayer for you to watch right

0:59:04 > 0:59:07now and there's more from us on Twitter @BBCclick and on Facebook

0:59:07 > 0:59:10throughout the week.

0:59:10 > 0:59:14Thanks very much for watching and we will see you soon.

1:00:04 > 1:00:05Hello, this is Breakfast

1:00:05 > 1:00:08with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

1:00:08 > 1:00:11Every active rape case in England and Wales is to be reviewed

1:00:11 > 1:00:14because of recent failures to disclose evidence.

1:00:14 > 1:00:17The Director of Public Prosecutions said cases yet to come

1:00:17 > 1:00:20to trial would be examined as a matter of urgency and admits

1:00:20 > 1:00:23some will have to be stopped.

1:00:37 > 1:00:38Good morning.

1:00:38 > 1:00:41It's Saturday the 27th of January.

1:01:32 > 1:01:34And Susan has the weather.

1:01:34 > 1:01:40Good morning, we will be up against the cloud this weekend,

1:01:40 > 1:01:41some pretty grey prospects for most today.

1:01:41 > 1:01:42A windy story.

1:01:42 > 1:01:43More details coming up.

1:01:43 > 1:01:45Thank you.

1:01:45 > 1:01:46Our main story:

1:01:46 > 1:01:48All current rape and sexual assault cases in England

1:01:48 > 1:01:51and Wales are being reviewed as a matter

1:01:51 > 1:01:51of urgency.

1:01:51 > 1:01:53The announcement from the Director of Public Prosecutions

1:01:53 > 1:01:56follows the recent collapse of several high profile trials

1:01:56 > 1:01:58after vital evidence had not been shared

1:01:58 > 1:02:05with defence lawyers.

1:02:05 > 1:02:08It's believed a number of cases could be stopped

1:02:08 > 1:02:09as a result.

1:02:09 > 1:02:10Adina Campbell has more.

1:02:10 > 1:02:12In a move seemed to help rebuild trust in the justice system,

1:02:12 > 1:02:15In a move seen to help rebuild trust in the justice system,

1:02:15 > 1:02:18every rape and sexual assault case in England and Wales

1:02:18 > 1:02:22is now under review.

1:02:22 > 1:02:28The Crown Prosecution Service has taken action after public concerns

1:02:28 > 1:02:31that evidence, particularly digital records, are not being disclosed

1:02:31 > 1:02:32early enough to defence lawyers.

1:02:32 > 1:02:3822-year-old Liam Allen was wrongly accused of rape and sexual assault,

1:02:38 > 1:02:41but his trial collapsed last month after the Metropolitan Police failed

1:02:41 > 1:02:48to disclose phone records which were vital evidence.

1:02:48 > 1:02:56Last week, a rape charge against Oxford University student

1:02:57 > 1:03:00Oliver Mears was dropped shortly before his trial when a diary

1:03:00 > 1:03:02which supported his case was uncovered.

1:03:02 > 1:03:05And Danny Kay, who had a rape conviction overturned after spending

1:03:05 > 1:03:08two years in prison, said earlier this month he felt let

1:03:08 > 1:03:11down by the justice system.

1:03:11 > 1:03:15Devastating for a system that you trust to let you down and I had

1:03:15 > 1:03:16complete faith in it.

1:03:16 > 1:03:21I trusted the truth would come out in trial and it didn't.

1:03:21 > 1:03:24Earlier this week the BBC revealed the number of collapsed prosecutions

1:03:24 > 1:03:29increased by 70% over the last two years.

1:03:29 > 1:03:37A national disclosure plan has now been published by the CPS,

1:03:44 > 1:03:47the National Police Chiefs Council and the College of Policing

1:03:47 > 1:03:48to help make improvements.

1:03:48 > 1:03:51Adina Campbell, BBC News.

1:03:51 > 1:03:54The Prime Minister has welcomed a landmark ruling by trade

1:03:54 > 1:03:57authorities in the US overturning a decision to impose huge tariffs

1:03:57 > 1:03:59on planes partly built in the UK.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02The aerospace firm Bombardier won a surprise victory in its dispute

1:04:02 > 1:04:04with Boeing about selling its passenger jets to US airlines.

1:04:04 > 1:04:07The wings for the planes are manufactured in Belfast.

1:04:07 > 1:04:10Our Ireland correspondent Chris Page reports.

1:04:10 > 1:04:16Workers, politicians and business leaders had feared one

1:04:16 > 1:04:20of Bombardier's biggest projects would be grounded.

1:04:20 > 1:04:23The firm in Belfast has 4,000 employees and a quarter of them work

1:04:23 > 1:04:28on the C Series jet.

1:04:28 > 1:04:31But the programme was after threat after Boeing claimed it was unfairly

1:04:31 > 1:04:34subsidised because of financial help from the Canadian

1:04:34 > 1:04:34and British governments.

1:04:34 > 1:04:37The authorities in Washington initially proposed to impose tariffs

1:04:37 > 1:04:45of just under 300% on imports of the C Series.

1:04:55 > 1:04:57But last night, the US International Trade Commission

1:04:57 > 1:05:00decided not to go ahead with the tariffs, the four

1:05:00 > 1:05:02commissioners all voting in Bombardier's favour.

1:05:02 > 1:05:04Workers and their representatives were surprised but very pleased.

1:05:04 > 1:05:06The workforce has stayed squarely behind this,

1:05:06 > 1:05:08put their shoulder to the wheel.

1:05:08 > 1:05:10We've seen politicians nationally given up the ghost saying this

1:05:10 > 1:05:13is something that can't be overturned, we've demonstrated

1:05:13 > 1:05:15tonight the power of trade unionism

1:05:15 > 1:05:18globally, we worked with our colleagues in Canada the US

1:05:18 > 1:05:26and this is a victory for workers tonight.

1:05:26 > 1:05:34The prime minister spoke to Donald Trump at the World

1:05:37 > 1:05:39Economics Summit in Davos this week about the dispute.

1:05:39 > 1:05:42Theresa May Tweeted she welcomed the decision as good news

1:05:42 > 1:05:43for British industry.

1:05:43 > 1:05:46People have been prepared here for bad news from across the Atlantic

1:05:46 > 1:05:48but there are delighted with this unexpected result.

1:05:48 > 1:05:51After months of worry, Bombardier's victory in this trade

1:05:51 > 1:05:53dispute has brought a great sense of relief.

1:05:53 > 1:05:54Chris Page, BBC News, Belfast.

1:05:54 > 1:05:57Residents in Paris are bracing for further disruption as flooding

1:05:57 > 1:05:59in the city is expected to peak.

1:05:59 > 1:06:02Hundreds have been evacuated and tunnels and roads have been sealed

1:06:02 > 1:06:06off. We can speak to Kevin Connolly. What's the situation in the early

1:06:06 > 1:06:11hours there?It is still pretty dark here in the City of Lights but you

1:06:11 > 1:06:15can see behind me the River Seine 20 feet above where it should be at

1:06:15 > 1:06:19this time of year. Further outside the city down the valley of the

1:06:19 > 1:06:23River Seine, things are much worse, people are punting about in boats in

1:06:23 > 1:06:28the streets and waiting for the waters to recede to find out how

1:06:28 > 1:06:32much the damage will be. Today is the big day for Paris, we expect the

1:06:32 > 1:06:37river will get to its highest level. It would be very unusual in Paris

1:06:37 > 1:06:42for the waters to come over the banks of the Seine, a pretty deep

1:06:42 > 1:06:46channel in the city, but there's a certain anxiety around all of this

1:06:46 > 1:06:49because of course the river here runs right through the heart of the

1:06:49 > 1:06:53city. Some residents have been moved from their homes and the Louvre

1:06:53 > 1:06:59Museum not far from the river here has been closing lower ground floor

1:06:59 > 1:07:02galleries and people are taking precautions. What everyone is

1:07:02 > 1:07:07talking about here is the fact the tremendous weight of water in that

1:07:07 > 1:07:11swollen river has been flushing rats out of their normal underground

1:07:11 > 1:07:15homes so people have reported seeing more rats than normal in Paris. The

1:07:15 > 1:07:20highest point of the river we think will be reached at some point later

1:07:20 > 1:07:26this afternoon. A day of anxiety here more than anything else. No

1:07:26 > 1:07:31immediate crisis yet, traffic is flowing here across the Pont de la

1:07:31 > 1:07:34Concorde pretty much as normal, but the city authorities are braced for

1:07:34 > 1:07:39things to get worse. Enormous preparations have been made sure of

1:07:39 > 1:07:43the water, over the banks of the Seine and the authorities here say

1:07:43 > 1:07:48they're going to have to get used to this because it's all about in their

1:07:48 > 1:07:53view global warming. Paris hasn't really flooded since 1910. We will

1:07:53 > 1:07:57see later on today whether this year is going to join that year in the

1:07:57 > 1:08:02historical record books.Kevin, for the moment, thank you very much.

1:08:02 > 1:08:06Kevin, lead reporting from Paris.

1:08:06 > 1:08:10The entire US gymnastics board is to resign because of its handling

1:08:10 > 1:08:12of the sex abuse scandal involving the former team doctor,

1:08:12 > 1:08:13Larry Nassar.

1:08:13 > 1:08:15The country's Olympic Committee threatened to strip the organisation

1:08:15 > 1:08:18of its powers if the directors failed to step down.

1:08:18 > 1:08:22Larry Nassar has been given a prison sentence of up to 175 years.

1:08:22 > 1:08:24He abused more than 150 female gymnasts.

1:08:24 > 1:08:25Peter Bowes reports.

1:08:25 > 1:08:28As Larry Nassar begins to what amounts to a life sentence,

1:08:28 > 1:08:31the fallout from the abuse scandal has been swift and decisive.

1:08:31 > 1:08:34The entire board of USA Gymnastics has gone and there have been

1:08:34 > 1:08:35other resignations too.

1:08:35 > 1:08:38Mark Hollis was the athletic director at Michigan State

1:08:38 > 1:08:39University when Nassar worked there.

1:08:39 > 1:08:47He and another official have decided to quit.

1:08:51 > 1:08:53It's been an absolute honour to guide the athletic department

1:08:53 > 1:08:54for the last decade.

1:08:54 > 1:09:02That being said, today I'm announcing my retirement.

1:09:09 > 1:09:12I'm not running away from anything, I'm running towards something.

1:09:12 > 1:09:14Comfort, compassion and understanding for the survivors

1:09:14 > 1:09:15in our community.

1:09:15 > 1:09:16Togetherness, time and love for my family.

1:09:16 > 1:09:19There's been reports that Michigan State University and USA

1:09:19 > 1:09:22Gymnastics knew of the abuse claims but failed to take action.

1:09:22 > 1:09:26They've both denied there was a cover-up.

1:09:26 > 1:09:29With several investigations into abuse in US sport now under

1:09:29 > 1:09:31way, the recriminations are only just beginning.

1:09:31 > 1:09:37Peter Bowes, BBC News.

1:09:37 > 1:09:39Officials in Cape Town are urging people to limit

1:09:39 > 1:09:42flushing their toilets to conserve their water as the city

1:09:42 > 1:09:43continues to battle a severe drought.

1:09:43 > 1:09:47Water supplies in the South African city are due to run out in early

1:09:47 > 1:09:49April after three years of exceptionally low rainfall.

1:09:49 > 1:09:52Residents have been advised to limit showering to twice a week

1:09:52 > 1:10:00and save water as if their lives depended on it.

1:10:00 > 1:10:03New research shows companies are abusing a loophole in the law

1:10:03 > 1:10:06to put up telephone boxes on the high street and then

1:10:06 > 1:10:08using them as little more than advertising billboards.

1:10:08 > 1:10:11The Local Government Association says there's been a tenfold increase

1:10:11 > 1:10:13in applications to install the boxes, which don't require

1:10:13 > 1:10:14formal planning permission.

1:10:14 > 1:10:19Keith Doyle has more.

1:10:19 > 1:10:23Phone boxes used to be an integral part of our high streets,

1:10:23 > 1:10:27but mobile phones have made them almost redundant.

1:10:27 > 1:10:29While BT is scrapping half its remaining 40,000 phone

1:10:29 > 1:10:32kiosks, councils have seen a huge surge in applications for new ones

1:10:32 > 1:10:36from other companies.

1:10:36 > 1:10:40The Local Government Association says because planning permission

1:10:40 > 1:10:43is not required, it believes many applicants are more interested

1:10:43 > 1:10:46in the prime advertising space than providing a phone service.

1:10:46 > 1:10:48Is anyone actually using these phones?

1:10:48 > 1:10:51Nobody's using them.

1:10:51 > 1:10:55So this is just here as an advertisement?

1:10:55 > 1:10:58It's an advertising board in the high street.

1:10:58 > 1:11:05What we want to do is them to go with the normal planning system,

1:11:05 > 1:11:08if you want an advertising hoarding, you have to have planning

1:11:08 > 1:11:10permission, we want the same from these boxes, they're

1:11:10 > 1:11:12like Trojans getting round the planning system

1:11:12 > 1:11:15by being put on phone boxes that people actually don't use.

1:11:15 > 1:11:18This is prime advertising space right in the heart of London right

1:11:18 > 1:11:20off Oxford Street.

1:11:20 > 1:11:23Two years ago, Westminster council got applications for just 13

1:11:23 > 1:11:25new phone kiosks.

1:11:25 > 1:11:28Last year there was 180.

1:11:28 > 1:11:31In Liverpool for the same period the figure went from ten to 97

1:11:31 > 1:11:34and in Newcastle, where two years ago there was an application

1:11:34 > 1:11:37for just one new phone kiosk, last year it was 95

1:11:37 > 1:11:39and the Local Government Association is questioning whether it's

1:11:39 > 1:11:42the phones they want or the advertising space.

1:11:42 > 1:11:47New technology means there's a demand for a generation of phone

1:11:47 > 1:11:51and communication points on our streets, but councils say

1:11:51 > 1:11:55the law also needs to be brought up to date to control what they say

1:11:55 > 1:11:57is the scourge of unregulated high street advertising.

1:11:57 > 1:12:04Keith Doyle, BBC News.

1:12:04 > 1:12:08A message left in a bottle by Scottish school pupils in the 1980s

1:12:08 > 1:12:13has washed up on a Florida beach. This letter was sent into the North

1:12:13 > 1:12:19Sea by children at the Chapel Park Primary School, who were studying

1:12:19 > 1:12:22pirates. The message was found by a couple in Florida last September,

1:12:22 > 1:12:28they wrote back to the school, which has since closed. The retired

1:12:28 > 1:12:31teacher Fiona Cardinal said the discovery was amazing, she thinks

1:12:31 > 1:12:35the letter was written by one of her classes at some point more than 30

1:12:35 > 1:12:43years ago. Do we know who wrote the letter?They haven't discovered who

1:12:43 > 1:12:52it was. I remember doing things like that!

1:12:52 > 1:12:57Unions and politicians have welcomed Bombardier's surprise victory in the

1:12:57 > 1:13:01dispute with American rival Boeing. Boeing claimed Bombardier, a

1:13:01 > 1:13:05Canadian company employing 4000 in Belfast, was selling its planes to

1:13:05 > 1:13:10cheaply because of financial support from the UK government. Paul Elliott

1:13:10 > 1:13:19represents the ADF trade body -- ADF. Thanks for joining us. Is this

1:13:19 > 1:13:24a spat? Is this an example of one company trying to thwart another

1:13:24 > 1:13:32company as a rival? The news from yesterday evening is

1:13:32 > 1:13:35fantastic certainly for the workforce and the extended supply

1:13:35 > 1:13:40chain in Northern Ireland and other parts of the world. Unfortunately in

1:13:40 > 1:13:45the aerospace industry we've had a number of major trade disputes.

1:13:45 > 1:13:52These things tend to ramble on for years and years. There's no doubt

1:13:52 > 1:13:58major businesses, in particular Boeing in the US, is concerned about

1:13:58 > 1:14:02rivals, and obviously the atmosphere in the US over the last year or so

1:14:02 > 1:14:08if you like has made that environment for trade disputes

1:14:08 > 1:14:11perhaps a little bit more accommodating than we might have

1:14:11 > 1:14:17seen previously. But credit to the ICT that they have rebuffed

1:14:17 > 1:14:23affectively this attempt to prevent a great aircraft from gaining a

1:14:23 > 1:14:29market in the US.The ICC being the International Trade Commission.

1:14:29 > 1:14:33Going back to the question, what I'm asking is for you to explain what's

1:14:33 > 1:14:37happened here because Boeing had a problem with what Bombardier was

1:14:37 > 1:14:42doing in terms of exporting... All the US receiving the imports and the

1:14:42 > 1:14:46price point this was at.Affectively this goes back to a long-running

1:14:46 > 1:14:53dispute about how government support is used for aerospace companies.

1:14:53 > 1:14:57Aerospace companies around the world get support from government because

1:14:57 > 1:15:02to produce a new aircraft takes a long time, you have to do a huge

1:15:02 > 1:15:06amount of investment in advance, and there's always a high level of risk.

1:15:06 > 1:15:12In the US and in Europe, up until the mid-2000s, there was an

1:15:12 > 1:15:17agreement if you like, a recognition that Europe and the US has slightly

1:15:17 > 1:15:22different systems of support, but they were both acceptable. Post that

1:15:22 > 1:15:28period, the US took a different approach and more recently have

1:15:28 > 1:15:32directly obviously tried to prevent Bombardier selling their product

1:15:32 > 1:15:38into the US. Now, previously they'd gone through the World Trade

1:15:38 > 1:15:43Organization, which has a particular way of dealing with disputes. That

1:15:43 > 1:15:49is a long process. In this instance they tried to use domestic US

1:15:49 > 1:15:56mechanisms, so in the first instance the department of commerce imposed

1:15:56 > 1:16:00or potentially imposed these tariffs.

1:16:00 > 1:16:05This all comes down... Donald Trump has made clear that he is out to

1:16:05 > 1:16:09protect US business and help America the first in the economy and for it

1:16:09 > 1:16:15to grow and businesses to thrive. What does this say, in terms of UK-

1:16:15 > 1:16:19US relations, in terms of the US wanting to boost its own companies

1:16:19 > 1:16:23and VAT and production in the US, yet obviously stay open to special

1:16:23 > 1:16:31partners?Such as the UK? The UK government has played an important

1:16:31 > 1:16:34role in helping to get this resolved. Also there's a recognition

1:16:34 > 1:16:39in the US that Aerospace is a global business, so many of the suppliers

1:16:39 > 1:16:47to Bombardier are actually based in the US and indeed many of the

1:16:47 > 1:16:49customers for this revolutionary aircraft are actually American

1:16:49 > 1:16:56Airlines and they want to deliver a much more competitive service to the

1:16:56 > 1:17:00travelling public in the US. So I think International Trade

1:17:00 > 1:17:03Commission, and indeed one would hope the American government, have

1:17:03 > 1:17:09taken a view that the bigger good, if that's the right kind of phrase,

1:17:09 > 1:17:16is actually to ensure that competition can continue and that

1:17:16 > 1:17:20new products are allowed into the market, particularly when a

1:17:20 > 1:17:23significant proportion of those products are actually developed in

1:17:23 > 1:17:27the US.It's a complicated one. Thank you very much for joining us

1:17:27 > 1:17:34on a there's this morning. -- On Breakfast.

1:17:34 > 1:17:41We will get a full forecast in a moment. We are also focusing on Cape

1:17:41 > 1:17:43town, as the real problem is with the water supply?

1:17:43 > 1:17:48Massive problems. They are talking about having no water to use at the

1:17:48 > 1:17:49Massive problems. They are talking about having no water to use at the

1:17:49 > 1:17:56start of April. It is an historical drought. The situation hasn't just

1:17:56 > 1:18:00occurred of what happened in recent months. Last time they saw their

1:18:00 > 1:18:02average rainfall was in 2014.

1:18:04 > 1:18:10So the problem has been building up. Part of the problem could also be

1:18:10 > 1:18:14tied into El Nino, which is when the weather patterns get shifted and

1:18:14 > 1:18:17they've been seeing a lot of this sort of thing, high-pressure parking

1:18:17 > 1:18:21up and stopping any of these weather fronts, the real source of the rain,

1:18:21 > 1:18:26into Cape Town and swinging in from the south Atlantic, so basically the

1:18:26 > 1:18:31story has been a very dry one. In the last season have only had a

1:18:31 > 1:18:34third of the rainfall they would expect, so the situation remains

1:18:34 > 1:18:38pretty critical. Anyway, let's head back and have a look at what's

1:18:38 > 1:18:42happening closer to home. It's a very different picture. We are

1:18:42 > 1:18:46tucked somewhere underneath the mass of cloud. There's no stopping the

1:18:46 > 1:18:49weather fronts coming in from the Atlantic. Low pressure with us all

1:18:49 > 1:18:57the way. Tightly packed isobars. A windy day for most of us, especially

1:18:57 > 1:19:01for the north and west of Scotland and a band of rain sweeping through

1:19:01 > 1:19:04as well. The Northern Ireland pretty much the worst of the rain getting

1:19:04 > 1:19:08out of the way. But with Scotland and northern England it will be a

1:19:08 > 1:19:13wet morning. A windy story as well, especially gusty to the Pennines,

1:19:13 > 1:19:18but the worst is to the north and west of Scotland. To the east, with

1:19:18 > 1:19:24clearer skies, a little bit of early sunshine. The chilly start as well.

1:19:24 > 1:19:27Outbreaks of rain across the Midlands, Wales and the south-west

1:19:27 > 1:19:32of England. Never especially heavy, but he will be a wet morning. Windy

1:19:32 > 1:19:37as well, as the weather front moves through into East Anglia and the

1:19:37 > 1:19:40south-east for the afternoon. Elsewhere it becomes drier and

1:19:40 > 1:19:44brighter the Northern Ireland. Sunshine for Scotland and northern

1:19:44 > 1:19:51England through the afternoon. Low cloud and Merck and gloom across the

1:19:51 > 1:19:55Midlands, Wales and the south-west. -- murk. Temperatures in double

1:19:55 > 1:20:00figures. The front will pull away overnight, clearer skies, lighter

1:20:00 > 1:20:07winds. Chilly briefly. For tomorrow here comes the next pile of cloud in

1:20:07 > 1:20:11the Atlantic. It means I'll start to Sunday. Temperatures in double

1:20:11 > 1:20:16figures for most of us. But this weather front is just going to keep

1:20:16 > 1:20:23piling on the moisture and cloud and the rain for Sunday. So a wet and

1:20:23 > 1:20:26windy picture in the northern half of the British Isles to finish the

1:20:26 > 1:20:30weekend. Further south, a lot of cloud, but in some spots

1:20:30 > 1:20:34temperatures into the midteens. Thanks very much.

1:20:34 > 1:20:34temperatures into the midteens. Thanks very much.

1:20:38 > 1:20:41It's been nominated for seven Oscars, including Best Picture.

1:20:41 > 1:20:44Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri is the story of a grieving

1:20:44 > 1:20:46mother's fight for justice in small town America.

1:20:46 > 1:20:49Despite its American roots, the film has a British connection.

1:20:49 > 1:20:51Its writer and director hails from London.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53Our arts editor Will Gompertz has been speaking to him.

1:20:53 > 1:20:55My daughter Angela was murdered seven months ago...

1:20:55 > 1:20:58Francis McDormand as Mildred Hayes, the uncompromising, unflinching

1:20:58 > 1:21:00and very angry grieving mother...

1:21:00 > 1:21:05You drilled a hole in the dentist? No I didn't.

1:21:05 > 1:21:07Who rents three billboards outside Ebbing, Missouri,

1:21:07 > 1:21:09a fictional town created by Martin McDonagh,

1:21:09 > 1:21:11the film's London-born Irish writer and director.

1:21:11 > 1:21:14Martin McDonagh has got an Oscar nomination for his writing

1:21:14 > 1:21:16but not for his directing.

1:21:16 > 1:21:19I wonder if he's a little bit disappointed.

1:21:19 > 1:21:23No, not really, particularly because the mates got nominated

1:21:23 > 1:21:24in the other categories.

1:21:24 > 1:21:28It would have been nice, but seven's good.

1:21:28 > 1:21:29You get over here.

1:21:29 > 1:21:31No, you get over here.

1:21:31 > 1:21:34All right.

1:21:34 > 1:21:36One of the criticisms that Three Billboards has

1:21:36 > 1:21:39is that the Sam Rockwell character, Dixon the policeman,

1:21:39 > 1:21:41who is a racist, is treated sympathetically by you.

1:21:41 > 1:21:48Well, he's definitely a racist and a bully.

1:21:48 > 1:21:49I wouldn't say he's treated sympathetically.

1:21:49 > 1:21:53I was trying to see, I think, the hope in all of these people.

1:21:53 > 1:22:00So if you say that's treating characters symathetically,

1:22:00 > 1:22:03to a degree it is.

1:22:03 > 1:22:05But the point of the film,

1:22:05 > 1:22:08and I think the thing that I hope people come away with,

1:22:08 > 1:22:10is the possibility of changing people.

1:22:10 > 1:22:12If it was me, I'd start a database.

1:22:12 > 1:22:15Every male baby that's born, stick them on it and,

1:22:15 > 1:22:17as soon as he'd done something wrong,

1:22:17 > 1:22:19cross-reference it, make 100% certain it was a correct match,

1:22:19 > 1:22:24then kill him.

1:22:24 > 1:22:27We've heard many speeches from many people in the movie industry saying

1:22:27 > 1:22:29it is time for a change.

1:22:29 > 1:22:32Do you think that's just lip service, or do you think

1:22:32 > 1:22:34something actually quite fundamental is happening?

1:22:34 > 1:22:37It feels like something really new and really great is happening.

1:22:37 > 1:22:40Like, I've been in the rooms at the last couple of awards things,

1:22:40 > 1:22:43and it is palpable, and it does feel angry,

1:22:43 > 1:22:46and it does feel like it's not going to go away,

1:22:46 > 1:22:47and I think that's great.

1:22:47 > 1:22:51It feels like a change is properly happening.

1:22:51 > 1:22:53I'd do anything to catch your daughter's killer.

1:22:53 > 1:22:56The Oscars ceremony at the beginning of March might well point

1:22:56 > 1:22:58towards that change, with some surprising winners,

1:22:58 > 1:23:01and quite possibly a forthright acceptance speech from this lady.

1:23:28 > 1:23:31There's a different theme each year and this year it's

1:23:31 > 1:23:32'The power of words'.

1:23:32 > 1:23:35We're joined now by Vimla Appadoo, from the Holocaust Educational

1:23:35 > 1:23:36Trust, and by Milena Grenfell-Baines,

1:23:36 > 1:23:39who was nine years old when she escaped from Nazi Germany.

1:23:39 > 1:23:43Good morning. You've brought on various things with you, which are

1:23:43 > 1:23:51part of this extraordinary story you were part of. Can you give us the

1:23:51 > 1:23:56brief version of what situation you were in.My sister and I, she was

1:23:56 > 1:24:02three and a half, I was ten, we were living in Prague. My father wanted

1:24:02 > 1:24:04to leave the night before the Germans came because he was involved

1:24:04 > 1:24:08with a great author Thomas Mann. He arranged for Thomas Mansion House

1:24:08 > 1:24:16check passports and for that he was wanted by the Germans. He was told

1:24:16 > 1:24:22to go to Berlin, where he was met by an unknown soldier who put him on a

1:24:22 > 1:24:26train to Brussels, where again he was met by a total stranger who

1:24:26 > 1:24:31helped him to go to England.Where were you?I was in Prague with my

1:24:31 > 1:24:37sister and mother. I wasn't really aware of what was happening at the

1:24:37 > 1:24:41time. I was nine. We knew that my father had gone away and then my

1:24:41 > 1:24:45mother told us we were going to go to England. And that course

1:24:45 > 1:24:51happened... It had been a mystery until 1988, before we discovered how

1:24:51 > 1:24:56we got on those trains, who rescued us and that's my labels that I wore

1:24:56 > 1:25:03a round my neck.If I just hold this up, just explain...This is a

1:25:03 > 1:25:09picture of you? That the permit that we were given to travel. Because we

1:25:09 > 1:25:13had a special permit. It's a long history about Nicholas Winton, how

1:25:13 > 1:25:17he went about doing this, which would take about two hours to tell

1:25:17 > 1:25:22you. He arranged for the visas and we were taken to the railway

1:25:22 > 1:25:26station, where we were put on a train and we travelled across Europe

1:25:26 > 1:25:35to Holland, got a big ship, came to England and then we were brought to

1:25:35 > 1:25:40a family who lived in a small terrace house, with two bedrooms.

1:25:40 > 1:25:46The first front room, kitchen, a bath, and they sent their daughter

1:25:46 > 1:25:51to live with their grandmother so that there was room for us.You look

1:25:51 > 1:25:58at stories like this and hearing Milena's story is so important. Why

1:25:58 > 1:26:02are you involved and what does today mean in terms of making sure that

1:26:02 > 1:26:07people are where of what is going on now as well is what did happen?I

1:26:07 > 1:26:10think the Holocaust educational trust plays a really important role

1:26:10 > 1:26:13in keeping the memory of the Holocaust alive and it helps teach

1:26:13 > 1:26:18us how to empathise, how to take ownership of our words and have a

1:26:18 > 1:26:23voice and try to stand up for the things we believe in.Who do you do

1:26:23 > 1:26:28that with?Predominately the Holocaust Educational Trust. They do

1:26:28 > 1:26:34talks and facilitate conversations. How do children react? We had an

1:26:34 > 1:26:37amazing experience with children from Manchester. Leslie went to

1:26:37 > 1:26:41speak to children and one of the most prominent things that came out

1:26:41 > 1:26:46of it was a young student at the end of the day came up to us and he just

1:26:46 > 1:26:50rang his mum who he hadn't spoken to in years to rekindle the

1:26:50 > 1:26:54relationship, but he said hearing the story made him realise what a

1:26:54 > 1:26:58family is and that's something that really stuck with me.Given your own

1:26:58 > 1:27:02personal experience, the theme of this year's memorial is about words.

1:27:02 > 1:27:09What do you see now in the world we live in, about the way language is

1:27:09 > 1:27:14used?The only way I can answer this is with my own experience. Talking

1:27:14 > 1:27:21to children. And the letters I get back from the children. They use the

1:27:21 > 1:27:25language they use and they've obviously taken on what we've told

1:27:25 > 1:27:28them and how they respond to that. I get amazing letters from 11

1:27:28 > 1:27:40-year-olds who listened to my story, who when I tell them... I ask how

1:27:40 > 1:27:44many have said, I hate you, do their parents. Many put their hands up.

1:27:44 > 1:27:50I'd told them I know cherish my parents a lot because I have parents

1:27:50 > 1:27:58to cherish. I use words with them like "camps". You go to holiday

1:27:58 > 1:28:03camps. People went to horrible counts. Tattoos. Everybody has a

1:28:03 > 1:28:09tattoo. There were tattoos that when numbers. So I use my words to tell

1:28:09 > 1:28:14them what they really meant all those years ago.

1:28:14 > 1:28:22And as well as remembering what happened, it is also now that we are

1:28:22 > 1:28:25seeing refugees.Children in other countries suffering. And that's

1:28:25 > 1:28:29again something to highlight the children.How are where a day of

1:28:29 > 1:28:34that? ?In quite aware. When we went to the school in Manchester, people

1:28:34 > 1:28:39were openly making the comparisons and sane, we still see this now. --

1:28:39 > 1:28:45saying. Talking about Syria?Yes. And he was the height of the refugee

1:28:45 > 1:28:52crisis in the UK.It is often reported at the moment that there is

1:28:52 > 1:28:57a rise in hate crimes and issues around that in the UK and other

1:28:57 > 1:29:02countries. What are you make of that Rose do you follow those...My great

1:29:02 > 1:29:08worry is that this is still actually happening. Having had this hate

1:29:08 > 1:29:12crimes and then people being called dreadful names. Somehow we don't

1:29:12 > 1:29:20seem to have learnt anything from history. I think probably... I think

1:29:20 > 1:29:28the way children connect to each other and possibly call each other

1:29:28 > 1:29:37names, eight names, -- hate names. I am very lucky because I've never

1:29:37 > 1:29:43experienced those sorts of people, saying things like you're a Jew. So

1:29:43 > 1:29:50it is very hard.You think those issues being marked on this day,

1:29:50 > 1:29:54issues about hate crimes, are still very much alive?I hope those issues

1:29:54 > 1:29:59are being marked today. I just hope that people who listen to all of

1:29:59 > 1:30:06this, they will take note.Thank you so much for coming in this morning.

1:30:06 > 1:30:12I know you've brought in lots of things. Thank you so much.

1:30:12 > 1:30:15We will be back with the headlines shortly.

1:31:50 > 1:31:51Hello, this is Breakfast

1:31:51 > 1:31:53with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.

1:31:53 > 1:31:57Here's a summary of the main stories today from BBC News:

1:32:08 > 1:32:10of several recent trials, including that of 22-year-old

1:32:10 > 1:32:13Liam Allen, he was accused of rape but the case

1:32:13 > 1:32:16against him was dropped after it emerged police failed to hand over

1:32:16 > 1:32:17vital phone records.

1:32:17 > 1:32:20It's believed a number of trials could be stopped as a result

1:32:20 > 1:32:22of the review.

1:32:22 > 1:32:26The Prime Minister has welcomed a landmark ruling by trade

1:32:26 > 1:32:29authorities in the US overturning a decision to impose huge tariffs

1:32:29 > 1:32:37on planes partly built in the UK.

1:32:41 > 1:32:42with Boeing about selling passenger jets

1:32:42 > 1:32:43to US airlines.

1:32:43 > 1:32:45The wings for the planes are manufacturing in Belfast

1:32:45 > 1:32:48where unions said around 1,000 jobs could have been at risk

1:32:48 > 1:32:50at the decision gone against them.

1:32:50 > 1:32:52The workforce has stayed squarely behind this,

1:32:52 > 1:32:54put their shoulder to the wheel.

1:32:54 > 1:32:56We've seen politicians nationally given up the ghost saying this

1:32:56 > 1:32:58is something that can't be overturned, we've demonstrated

1:32:58 > 1:33:01tonight the power of trade unionism globally, we worked

1:33:01 > 1:33:04with our colleagues in Canada the US and this is a victory

1:33:04 > 1:33:05for workers tonight.

1:33:05 > 1:33:08Residents in Paris are bracing themselves for further disruption

1:33:08 > 1:33:15as flooding is expected to reach its peak.

1:33:15 > 1:33:20It's the wettest January in more than a century and the River Seine

1:33:20 > 1:33:22got five metres above normal levels yesterday.

1:33:22 > 1:33:25Hundreds have been evacuated and tunnels and roads have

1:33:25 > 1:33:26been sealed off.

1:33:26 > 1:33:29The Louvre Museum has shut down displays on lower floors

1:33:29 > 1:33:33as a precaution.

1:33:33 > 1:33:36The US Gymnastics board will resign because of its handling of a sex

1:33:38 > 1:33:41The Olympic Committee had threatened to strip the organisation of powers

1:33:41 > 1:33:43had the directors bailed to step down.

1:33:43 > 1:33:46Larry Nassar has been given a sentence of 175 years for abusing

1:33:46 > 1:33:52more than 150 female gymnasts.

1:33:52 > 1:33:55New research has shown companies are abusing a loophole in the law

1:33:55 > 1:33:59to put up phone boxes on the high street and then using them as little

1:33:59 > 1:34:00more than advertising boards.

1:34:00 > 1:34:03The Local Government Association said there's been a tenfold increase

1:34:03 > 1:34:05in applications to install the boxes which don't require

1:34:05 > 1:34:13formal planning permission.

1:34:13 > 1:34:20Ministers say they keep development rights under constant review.

1:34:21 > 1:34:27Now Mike has all the sport. Would have been nice to have an upset,

1:34:27 > 1:34:31wouldn't it?I agree. Yeovil did their best to upset the likes of

1:34:31 > 1:34:35Alexis Sanchez at Manchester United, their new signing, roughed him up a

1:34:35 > 1:34:40bit and booed him like a pantomime villain but there was no fairytale

1:34:40 > 1:34:43for league two side Yeovil Town.

1:34:43 > 1:34:47A good debut for the man worth 18 times the whole Yeovil squad as 12

1:34:47 > 1:34:49time winners Manchester United eased to a 4-0 win.

1:34:49 > 1:34:52A goal for Marcus Rashford set up by Sanchez got them

1:34:52 > 1:34:54on the on their way just before half-time.

1:34:54 > 1:34:57Then the 87 league places separating the sides started to show

1:34:57 > 1:35:05as Herrera, Jesse Lingard and Lukaku added second-half goals.

1:35:09 > 1:35:12A few days after joining Manchester United from Arsenal

1:35:12 > 1:35:15in the swap deal, Jose Mourinho chose to start Alexis Sanchez,

1:35:15 > 1:35:17the highest-paid player in Premier League history.

1:35:17 > 1:35:20He was kicked, booed by the locals but sent home with the man

1:35:20 > 1:35:21of the match award.

1:35:21 > 1:35:23How did his manager think he got on?

1:35:23 > 1:35:31He will bring us all so this extra maturity and class so we are very

1:35:33 > 1:35:37He will bring us also this extra maturity and class so we are very

1:35:37 > 1:35:41pleased with him and he was keen to play, I know that was going to be

1:35:41 > 1:35:45difficult, I knew that was going to be an easy one for him but I'm

1:35:45 > 1:35:46happy with his performance.

1:35:46 > 1:35:49The night's other tie was an all Championship match

1:35:49 > 1:35:53with Sheffield Wednesday beating Reading to earn a place in the fifth

1:35:53 > 1:35:58round 3-1 at Hillsborough.

1:35:58 > 1:36:06There are 12 other fourth-round ties taking place today,

1:36:06 > 1:36:09among them Newport County of League two taking on Tottenham.

1:36:09 > 1:36:12Newport nearly went out of the league last season and now

1:36:12 > 1:36:15they are pushing for a play-off place and remember, they beat

1:36:15 > 1:36:17Leeds United in the last round.

1:36:17 > 1:36:20Beating Leeds was my highlight because I could enjoy that game

1:36:20 > 1:36:23and it was due to our hard work of getting in that position.

1:36:23 > 1:36:27And what happened at the end of last season was obviously more important

1:36:27 > 1:36:28for the football club.

1:36:28 > 1:36:31You only have to see the struggles Hartlepool are going through and it

1:36:31 > 1:36:33could quite easily have been asked.

1:36:33 > 1:36:34We're fortunate.

1:36:34 > 1:36:40We're working hard to keep improving and that's what we always do.

1:36:40 > 1:36:44There will be a new women's champion happy Australia Day open this

1:36:44 > 1:36:49There will be a new women's champion happy Australia Open this morning

1:36:49 > 1:36:51in just under an hour.

1:36:51 > 1:36:54Simona Halep and Wozniacki meet in the final, both looking to win

1:36:54 > 1:36:57a maiden grandslam and the world number one ranking is also at stake.

1:36:57 > 1:37:00Wozniacki will go above Halep if she wins.

1:37:00 > 1:37:03I'm just excited, it's another finals, it's another great two weeks

1:37:03 > 1:37:06and regardless of what happens now I've done my best and when you go

1:37:06 > 1:37:14out there on Saturday you have everything to win.

1:37:14 > 1:37:15She's a strong opponent.

1:37:15 > 1:37:16I've played her many times.

1:37:16 > 1:37:19Like you said, I've won against her many times so it's

1:37:19 > 1:37:22going to be a different match, a new match, tough one,

1:37:22 > 1:37:26emotions are there, pressure is therefore both of us so we'll see

1:37:26 > 1:37:31what's going to happen, I can't say anything else about it.

1:37:31 > 1:37:34Live commentary of the women's final starts from 8:30am and highlights

1:37:34 > 1:37:42are on BBC One from 1:15pm this afternoon.

1:37:48 > 1:37:50From a first-time winner to a serial grandslam champion,

1:37:50 > 1:37:53tomorrow morning Federer plays a record seventh Australian Open

1:37:53 > 1:37:56men's singles final when he plays Marin Cilic in Melbourne looking

1:37:56 > 1:37:57for a 20th grandslam title.

1:37:57 > 1:37:59His semi-final opponent Chung was retired with severe blisters.

1:37:59 > 1:38:03Federer thrashed Cilic in Wimbledon last year but they met in more

1:38:03 > 1:38:09unusual surroundings a couple of months ago.

1:38:09 > 1:38:15I'm excited to play against him, he's a great guy, we won

1:38:15 > 1:38:18the Laver Cup and had a blast, we saw each other on vacation

1:38:18 > 1:38:20and played believe it or not.

1:38:20 > 1:38:20Where was that?

1:38:20 > 1:38:25In the Maldives a couple of months ago, it was just the two of us

1:38:25 > 1:38:28and we were looking for a hitting partner and it happened we were both

1:38:28 > 1:38:29there, the weirdest thing.

1:38:29 > 1:38:33I said the practice in the tropicals helped us get to the final

1:38:33 > 1:38:34this time around.

1:38:34 > 1:38:41Very cool and I can't wait.

1:38:41 > 1:38:45The chances of that, meeting one of your tennis rivals in them all

1:38:45 > 1:38:48these.

1:38:48 > 1:38:53Sounds like there was no one else to play, on their own looking for a

1:38:53 > 1:38:54partner!

1:38:54 > 1:38:57Ben Stokes has been snapped up this morning for £1.4 million

1:38:57 > 1:38:58in the auction for the IPL.

1:38:58 > 1:39:01He has been bought by the Rajistan Royals despite facing

1:39:01 > 1:39:03a charge for affray after an incident outside

1:39:03 > 1:39:05the nightclub in Bristol in September.

1:39:05 > 1:39:08He was the most valuable player last year at the

1:39:08 > 1:39:16Twenty20 tournament.

1:39:26 > 1:39:30The third day of the third test between South Africa and India came

1:39:30 > 1:39:33to a dramatic halt when umpires decided the pitch in Johannesburg

1:39:33 > 1:39:35was too dangerous for play to continue.

1:39:35 > 1:39:37Chasing 241 to win the match in the final innings,

1:39:37 > 1:39:41Elgar was hit on the helmet by a short ball from India's bowler.

1:39:41 > 1:39:43Discussions took place between the umpires and play

1:39:43 > 1:39:44was abandoned for the day.

1:39:44 > 1:39:47Play will resume later this morning.

1:39:47 > 1:39:51We hope it's a little safer for them now.

1:39:51 > 1:39:54It isn't just Roger Federer doing it for the older sports men,

1:39:54 > 1:39:57Anderson has become the oldest winner of a snowboard or cup event.

1:39:57 > 1:40:00He's not really that old, 42, depends how old you are!

1:40:00 > 1:40:05It is his 28th career win in Bulgaria in the giant slalom.

1:40:05 > 1:40:05Good timing.

1:40:05 > 1:40:07The penultimate World Cup event before the Winter Olympics.

1:40:07 > 1:40:11Anderson is the only rider to have competed in the Winter Olympics

1:40:11 > 1:40:17since snowboarding made its debut in 1998.

1:40:17 > 1:40:22He must have the most incredibly strong knees.It definitely isn't

1:40:22 > 1:40:27too old. I am that age, I don't mind admitting, and I have just darted

1:40:27 > 1:40:33snowboarding. I have had three lessons.How are you finding it?

1:40:33 > 1:40:38Loving it, I skied once with a half an hour lesson and then I don't like

1:40:38 > 1:40:41the thing when you... Snowplough. Snowboarding is much more

1:40:41 > 1:40:51instinctive.I will follow your progress over the next few months!

1:40:51 > 1:40:57Now, with the Winter Olympics just three weeks away,

1:40:57 > 1:41:00a moving story to show how the slopes are opening to all,

1:41:00 > 1:41:02albeit with some mountainous challenges.

1:41:02 > 1:41:05Ed Stephens was a British junior champion, but at 19,

1:41:05 > 1:41:07a car accident left him with a traumatic brain

1:41:07 > 1:41:08injury and many complications.

1:41:08 > 1:41:11However, this week, five years on, he's done what many thought

1:41:11 > 1:41:13impossible and returned to the slopes at Arinsal

1:41:13 > 1:41:15in Andorra to learn to sit ski.

1:41:15 > 1:41:16I went with him.

1:41:16 > 1:41:19Getting ready for one of the greatest sporting comebacks.

1:41:19 > 1:41:21In his room in his Gloucestershire college where he stays,

1:41:21 > 1:41:24reminders when Ed Stephens was British ski champion before

1:41:24 > 1:41:28at 19 he was left with a brain injury and complex disabilities.

1:41:28 > 1:41:32I used to do a lot of skiing, would you like to see me ski?

1:41:32 > 1:41:35With his electronic devices he was keen to show me how he got

1:41:35 > 1:41:39to the top, and for five years these on a mission to get back there.

1:41:39 > 1:41:43He's come a long way from lifting his head to be able

1:41:43 > 1:41:45to greet his mum in the morning again.

1:41:45 > 1:41:48Morning, mum. Fantastic!

1:41:48 > 1:41:51You can't talk and laugh at the same time, you know

1:41:51 > 1:41:52that, don't we!?

1:41:52 > 1:41:54Physiotherapy staff at National Star College have

1:41:54 > 1:41:57help him realise his main dream, strengthening his head and right

1:41:57 > 1:42:00shoulder muscles that will help him carve his own way down

1:42:00 > 1:42:01the mountain once more.

1:42:01 > 1:42:03It's been a massive part of his life.

1:42:03 > 1:42:07To think that he's going to have a go at doing it again

1:42:07 > 1:42:08is just amazing, yeah.

1:42:08 > 1:42:16It means more than you can imagine.

1:42:17 > 1:42:19This week the moment came in Andorra.

1:42:19 > 1:42:23It was a gamble because neither Ed or anyone else knew exactly how he'd

1:42:23 > 1:42:25react to being back on the slopes.

1:42:25 > 1:42:29This is it and it's a moment his family never thought they'd see,

1:42:29 > 1:42:33and it's not just a historic moment for Ed as we go off down

1:42:33 > 1:42:36the mountain but also for the whole sport because in a way,

1:42:36 > 1:42:38this opens up the mountains for all.

1:42:38 > 1:42:41Although he was being guided at first, his sit ski has been

1:42:41 > 1:42:44adapted so Ed can soon control his own direction and speed

1:42:44 > 1:42:47with his head rather than relying on someone pushing him

1:42:47 > 1:42:51on a wheelchair.

1:42:51 > 1:42:54By the end of this week, he was nearly ready to fly down

1:42:54 > 1:42:55the slope alone.

1:42:55 > 1:42:56How was it?

1:42:56 > 1:43:03Pretty amazing.

1:43:03 > 1:43:06For him to do this is just phenomenal and to be taking control.

1:43:06 > 1:43:09Most of the students at National Star need assistance

1:43:09 > 1:43:13with everything they do, so to be able to go out in a sit ski

1:43:13 > 1:43:15and truly experience the freedom skiing gives them,

1:43:15 > 1:43:18not to be wrapped in cotton wool, it's something hard

1:43:18 > 1:43:19to replicate anywhere else.

1:43:19 > 1:43:23Ed still has the ability to ski and enjoy it.

1:43:23 > 1:43:26Ed wasn't alone, in all 20 students from National Star were back

1:43:26 > 1:43:29on the slopes and third years Georgie and Kyle showed how much

1:43:29 > 1:43:33freedom they can have.

1:43:33 > 1:43:38It really does open up the entire mountain.

1:43:38 > 1:43:45We really aim for giving everyone the maximum independence possible.

1:43:45 > 1:43:48Josh, Zoe, Dom and Abby all followed and the students wanted to give me

1:43:48 > 1:43:52a taste of how much skill is needed to control your descent

1:43:52 > 1:43:53with your upper body.

1:43:53 > 1:43:56I thought we were off, I thought we were over!

1:43:56 > 1:44:00But on the slopes I was always going to be in the shadow

1:44:00 > 1:44:02of the former British champion.

1:44:02 > 1:44:04Another reason you love skiing, Ed, is the apres ski.

1:44:04 > 1:44:07And you said tell me there's some karaoke in there?

1:44:07 > 1:44:11How about I buy you a beer!

1:44:11 > 1:44:15Ed opted for a cider, and the apres ski is a crucial part

1:44:15 > 1:44:18of this whole experience as these amazing athletes

1:44:18 > 1:44:26toast their success and independence.

1:44:26 > 1:44:32We do love a good night on the karaoke and the band, part of the

1:44:32 > 1:44:37independence for my new friends.The best part of skiing I understand!

1:44:37 > 1:44:41You have earned it if you have gone down the slopes a few times and

1:44:41 > 1:44:45that's one of the great sporting comebacks.We were saying about

1:44:45 > 1:44:49Federer bumping into Cilic on holiday, I bet people out there who

1:44:49 > 1:44:54have been in places and you've had a kick about or knockabout with a big

1:44:54 > 1:44:58sports star, who happens to be training their.Andy Gomersall, what

1:44:58 > 1:45:05was it, paddle boarding and I bumped into the former England rugby union

1:45:05 > 1:45:11star in Dorset.Was he also doing that?No, he gave it a go.Was he

1:45:11 > 1:45:15any good?He was, normally sporting skills can be transferred.If you

1:45:15 > 1:45:20have been on holiday and bumped into someone, let us note.I went to

1:45:20 > 1:45:25centre Parcs and ended up swimming with Roger Johnson who sometimes

1:45:25 > 1:45:36does Breakfast.Was that awkward?I bet it was a bit. I like Roger, not

1:45:36 > 1:45:39awkward like that, sometimes you want to do your own thing when

1:45:39 > 1:45:43you're swimming, you don't want to meet up in your costume!You want to

1:45:43 > 1:45:51get away from work sometimes!Thanks for sharing, Mike! Let's get some

1:45:51 > 1:45:56sanity. I'm not sure if the weather forecast will offer that, but Susan

1:45:56 > 1:45:57is in charge!

1:45:57 > 1:45:58forecast will offer that, but Susan is in charge!

1:45:58 > 1:46:03I'm not sure I can help much. We've been talking a lot about Paris. To

1:46:03 > 1:46:07look at the bigger picture, much of France is badly affect that by

1:46:07 > 1:46:11flooding. To give you an idea of white, many regions have seen four

1:46:11 > 1:46:17or five times the average already this winter and Paris itself has had

1:46:17 > 1:46:22seven inches, 180 millimetres, of rain. A little bit calmer for the

1:46:22 > 1:46:26next couple of days, but by the middle of the week it looks like

1:46:26 > 1:46:30another area of low pressure is going to develop. To the north it

1:46:30 > 1:46:34will also affect us. Wishing Wall heavy rain in the Paris. We will

1:46:34 > 1:46:38certainly be talking about record-breaking rainfall across many

1:46:38 > 1:46:43parts of France, courtesy of the current weather pattern. Meanwhile,

1:46:43 > 1:46:47in the UK, under this mass of cloud we are under there somewhere! You

1:46:47 > 1:46:53could probably just work out East Anglia. This big stream of cloud

1:46:53 > 1:46:58coming in from the Atlantic. Notice this front, it will trail back into

1:46:58 > 1:47:03the Atlantic, feeding our way like a conveyor belt. Rain this morning to

1:47:03 > 1:47:06Scotland and northern England. Northern Ireland, fronts already

1:47:06 > 1:47:15pushing to these. A big cloudy, but largely a dry start. Further south,

1:47:15 > 1:47:19rain across the Midlands, Wales and the south-west of England. Ahead of

1:47:19 > 1:47:22the weather fronts some early sunshine for East Anglia and the

1:47:22 > 1:47:27south-east. Enjoy that because you can see what's coming your way. A

1:47:27 > 1:47:33weather front. A windy day across the board, especially the northern

1:47:33 > 1:47:37and western Scotland. Gusty to high ground across northern England. It

1:47:37 > 1:47:42does get dry come the afternoon, but we still get some gloomy among

1:47:42 > 1:47:45drizzly and murky conditions across Wales and the south-west for much of

1:47:45 > 1:47:49that a. Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England getting the

1:47:49 > 1:47:54best of the brightness. Showers affecting Scotland in the afternoon.

1:47:54 > 1:47:59A different story once the front comes in. A wet end to the day. Sky

1:47:59 > 1:48:03is clearer bit overnight. It could be chilly in the evening. What into

1:48:03 > 1:48:08the small hours here comes some cloud, be seen as and murkiness. It

1:48:08 > 1:48:13will be a pretty mild day. All of this cloud will keep feeding across

1:48:13 > 1:48:21us. A great picture the Sunday and further rain. -- of grey picture.

1:48:21 > 1:48:24us. A great picture the Sunday and further rain. -- of grey picture.

1:48:24 > 1:48:27Now it's time for Newswatch.

1:48:29 > 1:48:33Hello and welcome to Newswatch, with me, Samira Ahmed.

1:48:33 > 1:48:36Coming up on the programme: A reporter's question prompts tears

1:48:36 > 1:48:39from a bereaved father and anger from viewers.

1:48:39 > 1:48:41What did he ask and why?

1:48:41 > 1:48:44And is BBC News going overboard in reporting allegations

1:48:44 > 1:48:51of sexual harassment?

1:48:53 > 1:48:56We discussed on last week's programme viewers's concerns that

1:48:56 > 1:48:59BBC News was making too much of reporting on this winter's

1:48:59 > 1:49:03difficulties in the National Health Service.

1:49:03 > 1:49:06So it's no surprise that the attention of some

1:49:06 > 1:49:08of you was drawn towards Monday evening bulletins, which led

1:49:08 > 1:49:12with a long and powerful piece from Ed Thomas about the challenges

1:49:12 > 1:49:14being faced at the University Hospital of North Tees

1:49:14 > 1:49:16by its staff and patients.

1:49:16 > 1:49:24Blanche is 83 and she's struggling to breathe.

1:49:27 > 1:49:28The marvellous...

1:49:28 > 1:49:36It never left me.

1:49:41 > 1:49:43I know. I'm in agony.

1:49:43 > 1:49:47It's awful. We don't like it.

1:49:47 > 1:49:49Nobody likes the patients to be in a corridor,

1:49:49 > 1:49:52but I physically have no room to put this lady in.

1:49:52 > 1:49:55Sandra Smith felt that the top of a news programme was not

1:49:55 > 1:49:58the right place for reporting of that kind.

1:49:58 > 1:50:00She recorded this video for us to explain why.

1:50:00 > 1:50:05Now, we all know the NHS is struggling and we all understand

1:50:05 > 1:50:13that, sometimes, these things have to be reported,

1:50:18 > 1:50:22but to go on for nearly 15 minutes in a news programme is not right.

1:50:22 > 1:50:25There are programmes, such as Panorama, for this sort

1:50:25 > 1:50:26of investigative journalism.

1:50:26 > 1:50:28There's lots of other things going on in the world,

1:50:28 > 1:50:29not just the NHS.

1:50:29 > 1:50:32Jerry Etheridge agreed with those sentiments and also took exception

1:50:32 > 1:50:35to the tone of the coverage:

1:50:44 > 1:50:47Meanwhile, Jonathan Bush called it a shameful report writing:

1:50:57 > 1:51:00But John Weaver put the opposite point of view:

1:51:14 > 1:51:17In politics, plenty of attention given to the UK Independence Party,

1:51:17 > 1:51:20over last weekend and the start of this week.

1:51:20 > 1:51:25Its leader, Henry Bolton, has been under pressure since news

1:51:25 > 1:51:27broke of his relationship with ex-model Jo Marney

1:51:27 > 1:51:29and the racist messages she had sent.

1:51:29 > 1:51:31Alex Forsyth reported on the story for the News

1:51:31 > 1:51:32at One, on Monday.

1:51:32 > 1:51:34I am not making any comment.

1:51:34 > 1:51:40Despite growing pressure, he says he's not going anywhere.

1:51:40 > 1:51:42Henry Bolton's insisting he wants to keep leading UKIP,

1:51:42 > 1:51:46even though the party's ruling body says he should quit and now a string

1:51:46 > 1:51:49of senior members have resigned because he will not go.

1:51:49 > 1:51:52Sheila Grant was watching and wandered:

1:51:55 > 1:51:58-- wondered.

1:52:07 > 1:52:09And Dave Noble agreed:

1:52:31 > 1:52:35By the end of the week, much of the media's focus had

1:52:35 > 1:52:37switched to Switzerland, where many of the world's business

1:52:37 > 1:52:40leaders and heads of state were meeting at the World Economic

1:52:40 > 1:52:41Forum, in Davos.

1:52:41 > 1:52:45The BBC were there in force, but Will Wake felt that the coverage

1:52:45 > 1:52:48concentrated too much on the global elite and not enough on the economic

1:52:48 > 1:52:51realities of people's lives:

1:53:13 > 1:53:16On Thursday, BBC News reported on the sharp rise in serious violent

1:53:16 > 1:53:22crimes recorded by police in England and Wales.

1:53:22 > 1:53:25Here's Home Affairs correspondent Tom Simmons on the BBC News at Six.

1:53:25 > 1:53:27Behind the statistics, wasted lives.

1:53:27 > 1:53:31A decade after Meschak Cornelio tried out the bike he'd been given

1:53:31 > 1:53:35as a present, he became one of the four young men stabbed

1:53:35 > 1:53:38to death in London on New Year's Eve, leaving his father

1:53:38 > 1:53:40confronting a nightmare.

1:53:40 > 1:53:41You saw his body?

1:53:41 > 1:53:42Yes.

1:53:42 > 1:53:46What is it like for a father to see his son dead in front of him?

1:53:46 > 1:53:54I couldn't...I was crying.

1:53:55 > 1:53:58John Rostron was one of a number of viewers to take exception

1:53:58 > 1:54:00to the question posed there and recorded this

1:54:00 > 1:54:03video for us.

1:54:05 > 1:54:12I could not believe my ears on Thursday night

1:54:12 > 1:54:15when I was listening to the Six O'clock News

1:54:15 > 1:54:18and your reporter talking to that poor gentleman who had just

1:54:18 > 1:54:20lost his son after a bout of street violence.

1:54:20 > 1:54:24The reporter said to him, "What does it feel like to see your son lying

1:54:24 > 1:54:26"dead on the floor in front of you?"

1:54:26 > 1:54:27How insensitive, how disrespectful.

1:54:27 > 1:54:30I really thought the BBC was better than this.

1:54:30 > 1:54:33I just can't...I just could not believe what I was hearing.

1:54:33 > 1:54:36Well, we put that point the BBC News and a spokesperson told us:

1:55:04 > 1:55:08Do let us know your thoughts on any of the issues we are covering

1:55:08 > 1:55:13in the programme or any other aspect of BBC News.

1:55:13 > 1:55:16There will have the details of how to contact us at the end

1:55:16 > 1:55:17of the programme.

1:55:17 > 1:55:20Before that some more of your comments on what you've seen

1:55:20 > 1:55:21and heard this week.

1:55:21 > 1:55:24On Wednesday evening, it was this top story that caught

1:55:24 > 1:55:25the attention of some of you.

1:55:25 > 1:55:28All the Presidents Club men appear to be enjoying themselves

1:55:28 > 1:55:29at their charity dinner.

1:55:29 > 1:55:32The women working there much less so.

1:55:32 > 1:55:35Claims they were groped at the men-only event for those
