0:01:36 > 0:01:41a very mild day, temperatures maybe even reaching the mid-teens.Thanks.

0:01:41 > 0:01:41Good morning.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42First, our main story.

0:01:42 > 0:01:46Police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled

0:01:46 > 0:01:49the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop

0:01:49 > 0:01:50in west London.

0:01:50 > 0:01:52A 28-year-old man was arrested on Friday night

0:01:52 > 0:01:55on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a car

0:01:55 > 0:01:57mounted the pavement in Hayes.

0:01:57 > 0:01:59The three victims have been named locally as Josh Kennedy,

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Harry Rice and George Wilkinson.

0:02:01 > 0:02:05Jon Donnison reports.

0:02:05 > 0:02:09Three teenage friends on their way to a Friday night party. Their lives

0:02:09 > 0:02:14cut short. They've been named locally as Josh

0:02:14 > 0:02:21Kennedy, George Wilkinson and Harry Rice.

0:02:21 > 0:02:26He'd been a promising footballer with Farnborough FC. Our thoughts

0:02:26 > 0:02:32are with Harry's family and friends at this sad time, the club posted on

0:02:32 > 0:02:38social media. Yesterday at the scene of the crash the community gathered

0:02:38 > 0:02:43to pay their respects and offer an impromptu tribute. They were killed

0:02:43 > 0:02:47when they were hit by this black Audi as it reared up onto the

0:02:47 > 0:02:52pavement at speed. A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of

0:02:52 > 0:02:57causing death by dangerous driving. Police are looking for a second man

0:02:57 > 0:03:01they believe was in the car who fled the scene. They're appealing for

0:03:01 > 0:03:05witnesses.There was a bus driver in front of us and he came over and

0:03:05 > 0:03:09said, oh, yes, there's someone dead in the road and at that point I

0:03:09 > 0:03:16relate that to 999 and within five minutes an ambulance arrived.But

0:03:16 > 0:03:21officers say all three boys died at the scene. They're appealing for

0:03:21 > 0:03:25anyone with any information to come forward. Jon Donnison, BBC News.

0:03:25 > 0:03:31Jon Donnison is at the scene in Hayes for us now.

0:03:31 > 0:03:35Good morning. What more do we know about what's happened as this

0:03:35 > 0:03:44picture is put together?A terrible story in Hayes. You can see behind

0:03:44 > 0:03:48me the number of floral tributes that have been left since the three

0:03:48 > 0:03:52boys died on Friday night as they headed to a friend's birthday party

0:03:52 > 0:03:58at a local football club. What we do understand from police is that the

0:03:58 > 0:04:02man who's been arrested, this 28-year-old man, was actually

0:04:02 > 0:04:09apprehended by members of the public possibly by friends of these three

0:04:09 > 0:04:14young men. We understand at a petrol station a few minutes up the road

0:04:14 > 0:04:19there was some sort of altercation following this crash that possibly

0:04:19 > 0:04:24the man who was arrested was actually set upon by a group of

0:04:24 > 0:04:29young boys. That is one thing police are going to be looking into. As we

0:04:29 > 0:04:33heard in that report, there are also interested to track down another man

0:04:33 > 0:04:39who they believe was also in the car, possibly with a number of other

0:04:39 > 0:04:42people, they believe this man may have fled the scene. They're

0:04:42 > 0:04:46appealing for anyone who may have been driving along this busy road on

0:04:46 > 0:04:50Friday night or on this footpath here who might have seen anything to

0:04:50 > 0:04:54come forward. Jon, for the moment, thank you.

0:04:54 > 0:04:57Paris remains on high alert, with water levels continuing to rise

0:04:57 > 0:04:58along the River Seine.

0:04:58 > 0:05:01The country has seen some of the heaviest rain for a century,

0:05:01 > 0:05:04and the river is expected to rise six metres higher than normal.

0:05:04 > 0:05:06Luxmy Gopal reports.

0:05:06 > 0:05:09The swollen Seine, still rising.

0:05:09 > 0:05:11More than four metres above its usual level,

0:05:11 > 0:05:17it's expected to peak at six metres by the end of the weekend.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20On the outskirts of Paris, some residents have had to resort

0:05:20 > 0:05:22to travelling by boat through waterlogged streets,

0:05:22 > 0:05:25while in the city centre, the tourist boats are no longer

0:05:25 > 0:05:32operating, with only emergency services allowed along the Seine.

0:05:32 > 0:05:35The past month has been the third-wettest here since records

0:05:35 > 0:05:35began in 1900.

0:05:35 > 0:05:40The impact of recent heavy rains is visible in the water levels

0:05:40 > 0:05:43lapping this statue of a Crimean War soldier, known as the Zouave,

0:05:43 > 0:05:46Paris's traditional way of measuring the height of the river.

0:05:46 > 0:05:49The French authorities have been on high alert,

0:05:49 > 0:05:53and at a flood crisis meeting, the Mayor of Paris tried to reassure

0:05:53 > 0:05:55residents, saying the current situation isn't as bad as that

0:05:55 > 0:05:57of 18 months ago.

0:05:57 > 0:06:01TRANSLATION:The flood is less significant,

0:06:01 > 0:06:05in terms of the volume of rising water, compared to that of June

0:06:05 > 0:06:082016, even if it remains substantial, because currently

0:06:08 > 0:06:12we are at 5.7 metres, and we should peak between 5.8

0:06:12 > 0:06:16and six metres maximum.

0:06:16 > 0:06:19The flooding has already left hundreds of people

0:06:19 > 0:06:23without electricity, and evacuated from their homes.

0:06:23 > 0:06:25Forecasters predict drier weather for the week ahead,

0:06:25 > 0:06:28but with much of the ground in northern France waterlogged,

0:06:28 > 0:06:32the return to normal will be a slow process.

0:06:32 > 0:06:35Luxmy Gopal, BBC News.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38A close friend and political ally of President Trump has resigned

0:06:38 > 0:06:40as head of fundraising for the Republican Party

0:06:40 > 0:06:45after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Steve Wynn, a billionaire casino owner,

0:06:47 > 0:06:49was chosen by Mr Trump to be finance

0:06:49 > 0:06:52chairman of the Republican National Committee.

0:06:52 > 0:06:54He's alleged to have subjected dozens of women

0:06:54 > 0:06:55to unwanted sexual advances.

0:06:55 > 0:06:58Mr Wynn has described the claims published by the Wall Street Journal

0:06:58 > 0:07:00as preposterous.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said he's not aware of any invitation

0:07:03 > 0:07:05to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08In an ITV interview, the US President said the pair

0:07:08 > 0:07:14looked like a lovely couple, but when asked if had received

0:07:14 > 0:07:17an invite he replied, "Not that I know of."

0:07:17 > 0:07:19Ms Markle has previously called Mr Trump divisive

0:07:19 > 0:07:20and a misogynist.

0:07:20 > 0:07:22The Taliban has claimed responsibility for a sucide bombing

0:07:22 > 0:07:26in Kabul yesterday that killed 95 people and left around 150 wounded.

0:07:26 > 0:07:28The attackers blew up an ambulance full of explosives

0:07:28 > 0:07:30close to foreign embassies and the police headquarters.

0:07:30 > 0:07:37It's the second major attack in the Afghan capital in a week.

0:07:37 > 0:07:44Our Kabul correspondent Zia Shahreyar can tell us more.

0:07:44 > 0:07:48Bring us up to date with what's happened. We're getting a picture

0:07:48 > 0:07:55now of the death toll, but what more do we know about the attack?

0:07:55 > 0:07:59Ben, Kabul experienced one of its deadliest days yesterday for the

0:07:59 > 0:08:06last 15 years since the US invasion of Afghanistan. Hundreds of people

0:08:06 > 0:08:13killed and injured. So far the death of 95 people has been confirmed and

0:08:13 > 0:08:19more than 160 people have been injured. Hospitals throughout the

0:08:19 > 0:08:25night last night were flooded with injured people. One hospital,

0:08:25 > 0:08:30emergency hospital, announced they had received 130 injured people and

0:08:30 > 0:08:35it was absolutely out of their capacity to tackle this situation.

0:08:35 > 0:08:41The head of the hospital announced it is a real massacre in Kabul. The

0:08:41 > 0:08:47attack has had Ilott of reactions, international and domestic, in

0:08:47 > 0:08:52Afghanistan -- a lot of. Donald Trump has called it cruel and

0:08:52 > 0:08:56unacceptable and has asked board Depay don't mind against the Taliban

0:08:56 > 0:09:03and their supporters -- has asked for decisive action against.Zia

0:09:03 > 0:09:05Shahreyar in Kabul there.

0:09:05 > 0:09:0816 and 17 year-olds in Wales are to be given the right to vote

0:09:08 > 0:09:11in local elections, under plans published by the Welsh government.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14If approved, Wales would follow Scotland, where the voting age has

0:09:14 > 0:09:16already been lowered for national and local elections.

0:09:16 > 0:09:19The Labour Party has called for the idea to be extended

0:09:19 > 0:09:21to the whole of the UK.

0:09:21 > 0:09:22Gavin Thomas reports.

0:09:22 > 0:09:26After years of struggle and campaigns by the suffrage movement,

0:09:26 > 0:09:301918 was the year in which the representation of the people act was

0:09:30 > 0:09:36passed in Parliament. For the first time voting was expanded to all men

0:09:36 > 0:09:41aged over 21 and to some women aged over 30. Now 100 years on in Wales

0:09:41 > 0:09:46the labour devolved government is planning to cut the voting age in

0:09:46 > 0:09:49local elections to 16. It follows the example of Scotland where a

0:09:49 > 0:09:54similar change came into force in 2016. They're it also applies to

0:09:54 > 0:09:57national elections. The local government minister in Cardiff Bay

0:09:57 > 0:10:01says the time is right.I think everyone who pays taxes should be

0:10:01 > 0:10:06able to vote and that means people who are 17 and people who are 16 as

0:10:06 > 0:10:10well so I would like to see us moving the franchise to be able to

0:10:10 > 0:10:17allow younger people to take part in the democratic process.The Minister

0:10:17 > 0:10:20says he wants boating to become more attractive and welcoming and he's

0:10:20 > 0:10:24spoken of his concern that younger people are becoming disengaged from

0:10:24 > 0:10:28politics.I think it would be a good thing for us to be able to vote

0:10:28 > 0:10:32because we would be voting for our future but at the same time I don't

0:10:32 > 0:10:35think we get educated enough about politics.I think we are educated

0:10:35 > 0:10:38enough and 16 -year-olds because we use our social media, we see the

0:10:38 > 0:10:43parties... The advertise meant they put out there.

0:10:43 > 0:10:47The Welsh government will formally announce the proposals on Tuesday.

0:10:47 > 0:10:49Gavin Thomas, BBC News.

0:10:49 > 0:10:53We asked the UK Government for a response and a spokesperson

0:10:53 > 0:10:57told us, "The age of 18, not 16, is widely recognised as the age

0:10:57 > 0:10:59at which one becomes an adult.

0:10:59 > 0:11:01The Government has no plans to lower the voting age."

0:11:01 > 0:11:04The former Northern Ireland Secretary and prominent Leave

0:11:04 > 0:11:07campaigner Theresa Villiers has said she fears the UK is heading

0:11:07 > 0:11:08towards a dilution of Brexit.

0:11:08 > 0:11:11Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, she says there's a real

0:11:11 > 0:11:15danger the UK will sign up to deal which would keep us in the EU

0:11:15 > 0:11:16in all but name.

0:11:16 > 0:11:18A Downing Street spokesperson said the government is committed

0:11:18 > 0:11:21to delivering Brexit and a deep and special future partnership

0:11:21 > 0:11:26with the EU.

0:11:26 > 0:11:29Parking companies which use unfair practices are to be banned

0:11:29 > 0:11:31from accessing motorists' details and issuing fines.

0:11:31 > 0:11:33The government has confirmed it's to introduce

0:11:33 > 0:11:35legislation to try to improve standards among parking

0:11:35 > 0:11:36firms in England.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39Ministers say they want to put an end to inconsistent rules,

0:11:39 > 0:11:47poor signage, intimidating letters and a confusing appeals process.

0:11:47 > 0:11:51A mural believed to be by the artist Banksy should be removed

0:11:51 > 0:11:55from a disused Hull bridge, a local councillor has claimed.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58Images of the artwork were shared on Banksy's official

0:11:58 > 0:12:01social media page on Friday, appearing to confirm that it is,

0:12:01 > 0:12:05in fact, his own work.

0:12:05 > 0:12:08Conservative councillor John Abbott said it did not compare with real

0:12:08 > 0:12:12art in the city gallery.

0:12:12 > 0:12:15However, many of the local residents who gathered to see

0:12:15 > 0:12:18the mural disagreed.

0:12:18 > 0:12:24For me personally the culture that I grew up in, it's a dream really, a

0:12:24 > 0:12:28dream come true. It's really good.Fantastic.I also

0:12:28 > 0:12:33liked the way that the writing in it is like writing on a chalkboard or

0:12:33 > 0:12:37in a school when you look back on things.Like the shoes, I think

0:12:37 > 0:12:42they've got a nice pair of shoes on. You got to have a nice pair of shoes

0:12:42 > 0:12:45on, don't you, Rosie?

0:12:45 > 0:12:52The front page of the Daily Express, rescue firms will no longer be

0:12:52 > 0:12:58allowed to use the DVLA database to hunt down innocent drivers. They

0:12:58 > 0:13:01will be banned from issuing tickets under a new government crackdown.

0:13:01 > 0:13:07The front of the Sunday Times, the story here, Tories in turmoil, but

0:13:07 > 0:13:10if you look at the details it says former Cabinet ministers have been

0:13:10 > 0:13:15exposed attempting to profit from what they call a new Brexit gravy

0:13:15 > 0:13:19train, an undercover investigation in the times. Megan changes the

0:13:55 > 0:13:59Two stories on the front of the Observer, top academies have

0:13:59 > 0:14:04concerns about how much cash and funding may still have left.

0:14:04 > 0:14:08Staffing levels are dangerously low and concern over pay exists. They

0:14:22 > 0:14:27You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:14:27 > 0:14:29You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:14:29 > 0:14:32The main stories this morning: Police are looking for a man

0:14:32 > 0:14:35who is thought to have fled the scene of a crash that killed

0:14:35 > 0:14:36three teenage boys in London.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40Residents in Paris are on high alert, as the swollen River Seine

0:14:40 > 0:14:42is expected to rise to six metres higher than usual.

0:14:42 > 0:14:44Still to come on Breakfast: The Click team is in

0:14:44 > 0:14:47the Silicon Valley, meeting the researchers who are trying

0:14:47 > 0:14:51to put human life on pause.

0:14:51 > 0:14:55Here is Susan with a look at this morning's weather.

0:14:55 > 0:14:58Here is Susan with a look at this morning's weather.

0:14:58 > 0:15:04A bit cold and misty outside.Good morning. Actually, today is going to

0:15:04 > 0:15:09turn out to be rather warm I think for this time of year. It could even

0:15:09 > 0:15:13turn out to be the warmest day of the year so far. That is not saying

0:15:13 > 0:15:17much because it is only 28 January but very mild air is coming across

0:15:17 > 0:15:21all the way from the Atlantic at the moment. In many spots, already

0:15:21 > 0:15:26temperatures in double figures. When we do pull that air in from the

0:15:26 > 0:15:29Atlantic, we pull off a lot of the moisture from the ocean, and

0:15:29 > 0:15:33basically that falls into cloud and that is what we are stuck under the

0:15:33 > 0:15:36day. So not a particularly springlike looking day, but I think

0:15:36 > 0:15:40it could feel quite pleasant if you are out and about. A pretty windy

0:15:40 > 0:15:44day and we have a band of rain to the north which will affect Northern

0:15:44 > 0:15:47Ireland through the morning and further north in the Scotland for

0:15:47 > 0:15:52the afternoon. For parts of western Scotland, Argyll & Bute, the western

0:15:52 > 0:15:55highlands, some quite significant rainfall totals before we are

0:15:55 > 0:16:02through. Always a bit more scant in the east. By that Armageddon to

0:16:02 > 0:16:06Northern Ireland a dry story for the afternoon. Some rain as far south as

0:16:06 > 0:16:10the northern Pennines. Further south a lot of cloud around, misty and

0:16:10 > 0:16:14murky across the hills. But with the help of the wind, which could be

0:16:14 > 0:16:17quite gusty, we turn that cloud over a little bit and temperatures could

0:16:17 > 0:16:21shoot up to 14 or 15 degrees. Overnight tonight, some changes,

0:16:21 > 0:16:26however. This weather front we can see in the north will start to move

0:16:26 > 0:16:29its way south across the British Isles. I don't know if you remember

0:16:29 > 0:16:34what was to the north of that it was colder air. For Scotland first thing

0:16:34 > 0:16:38on Monday a chilly start, patchy frost and a few showers. That called

0:16:38 > 0:16:41a rare will start to targets where further south across the British

0:16:41 > 0:16:45Isles on Monday as the weather front died south as well. A spell of rain

0:16:45 > 0:16:48on the way for England and Wales. For Scotland and Northern Ireland,

0:16:48 > 0:16:54clearing skies. We should see more on the way of sunshine. It will be a

0:16:54 > 0:16:58chance of some showers but the most notable thing will be a chilly feel

0:16:58 > 0:17:01to the day. Across the northern half of the British Isles on Monday, a

0:17:01 > 0:17:05weather front bringing rain into the middle part of England and Wales,

0:17:05 > 0:17:08clearing the South Coast as we get towards the evening. Still pretty

0:17:08 > 0:17:11mild the southernmost counties but further north definitely a chilly

0:17:11 > 0:17:16field to proceedings on Monday, and with those clearer skies overnight

0:17:16 > 0:17:21Monday into Tuesday, we could be looking at a widespread frost. So we

0:17:21 > 0:17:24are mild at the moment but keep that scraper ready because I think we

0:17:24 > 0:17:29could be scraping the car again come Tuesday morning.Thank you very

0:17:29 > 0:17:32much, Susan. Those temperatures are remarkable.

0:17:32 > 0:17:35Now on Breakfast it is time for The Film Review,

0:17:35 > 0:17:37with Jane Hill and Mark Kermode.

0:17:37 > 0:17:44with Jane Hill and Mark Kermode.

0:17:48 > 0:17:52Hello and a very warm welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

0:17:52 > 0:17:54To take us through this week's cinema releases

0:17:54 > 0:17:56is Mark Kermode as ever.

0:17:56 > 0:17:58So Mark, what do we have this week?

0:17:58 > 0:17:59Interesting week.

0:17:59 > 0:18:01We've got Downsizing.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03The new movie from Alexander Payne.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Earlyman, the latest offering from Aardman Animations,

0:18:05 > 0:18:09always a treat.

0:18:09 > 0:18:12And Last Flag Flying, the not quite sequel to The Last

0:18:12 > 0:18:17Detail.

0:18:17 > 0:18:19It looks intriguing, your first choice, that's

0:18:19 > 0:18:20what I would say.

0:18:20 > 0:18:27Intriguing is exactly the word. This is something a bit different.

0:18:27 > 0:18:29The best way to describe it is it takes riffs

0:18:29 > 0:18:32from The Incredible Shrinking Man and Innerspace and combines it

0:18:32 > 0:18:35with a bit of inconvenient truth and the American satire Spanglish.

0:18:35 > 0:18:39Really...

0:18:39 > 0:18:40OK.

0:18:40 > 0:18:43The story is the earth's resources have been depleted and process has

0:18:43 > 0:18:45been discovered to shrink people down to five inches.

0:18:45 > 0:18:48You can save the planet, you become and use less resources.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50You produce less stuff to dispose of.

0:18:50 > 0:18:52Everyone has agreed it is a good idea.

0:18:52 > 0:18:56But the reason people are doing it is because the lifestyle you get

0:18:56 > 0:19:00offered if you agree to become small is more extravagant than you can get

0:19:00 > 0:19:07in the big world.

0:19:07 > 0:19:10Here's a clip.

0:19:10 > 0:19:12So the decision...

0:19:12 > 0:19:16Downsizing takes pressure off, especially money pressure.

0:19:16 > 0:19:19It must be a good to know you are making a difference.

0:19:19 > 0:19:21All that crap about saving the planet?

0:19:21 > 0:19:22Yes.

0:19:22 > 0:19:23Downsizing is about saving yourself.

0:19:23 > 0:19:24We live like kings.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28I'm still in the same house I grew up in, Audrey is dying to move,

0:19:28 > 0:19:33but we are strapped.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35A lot of small communities are cropping up.

0:19:35 > 0:19:36Don't mess around.

0:19:36 > 0:19:38You get the best houses, best appliances, best doctors,

0:19:38 > 0:19:39the great restaurants.

0:19:39 > 0:19:41The kids love Cheesecake Factory.

0:19:41 > 0:19:47We've got three of them.

0:19:47 > 0:19:52Can you back up a little?

0:19:52 > 0:19:54There might be too much garlic in the sauce.

0:19:54 > 0:19:57It is an interesting setup and it looks like the beginning

0:19:57 > 0:19:58of a great movie.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01Then Matt Damon's character decides he is going to downsize

0:20:01 > 0:20:04and when he does, he discovers he's isolated, alone and discontent

0:20:04 > 0:20:09like he was in the bigger world, but only smaller.

0:20:09 > 0:20:11Then the film loses its direction.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14For a start, once you get into the small community there's

0:20:14 > 0:20:16very little of interacting with the large one.

0:20:16 > 0:20:18Most movies dealing with the miniaturisation

0:20:18 > 0:20:23have them interacting.

0:20:23 > 0:20:26Here you can forget that you are in the small world,

0:20:26 > 0:20:27which is the point.

0:20:27 > 0:20:31More troublesome is the fact it has a number of threads it is trying

0:20:31 > 0:20:33to deal with, the eco-crisis, the personal crisis,

0:20:33 > 0:20:36the commentary on consumerism, staff about general middle-aged

0:20:36 > 0:20:38malaise, and somehow those elements don't only not come together,

0:20:38 > 0:20:45they 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 > 0:20:53downsizing in its running time, frankly.

0:20:53 > 0:21:01After the initial setup and promise, after what looked like being a good

0:21:03 > 0:21:06use of a science fiction premise, it falls apart.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08It's a shame because there are lots of interesting ideas

0:21:08 > 0:21:12and it's always good to see a director aiming big even if it

0:21:12 > 0:21:13does not come together.

0:21:13 > 0:21:17But I have to say there was a good half of it I find frustrating.

0:21:17 > 0:21:20Having given you all these ideas, it then does not know

0:21:20 > 0:21:22what to do with them.

0:21:22 > 0:21:25It does not know whether it wants to be funny, satirical,

0:21:25 > 0:21:29sombre about the fate of the planet or whether it wants to concentrate

0:21:29 > 0:21:30on a marriage falling apart.

0:21:30 > 0:21:32It ends up not satisfying any of them.

0:21:32 > 0:21:35Unfortunately, it is terribly unsatisfying, despite the fact it

0:21:35 > 0:21:40starts so well.

0:21:40 > 0:21:48Very disappointing.

0:21:50 > 0:21:52I was a big fan of Sideways. Me, too.

0:21:52 > 0:21:55And I am a very big fan of Wallace and Gromit.

0:21:55 > 0:22:00And no disappointment for Earlyman.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03A Stone Age clanis driven out of its valley by the arrival

0:22:03 > 0:22:07of Lord Knuth who says the Stone Age is over and long live

0:22:07 > 0:22:08the age of bronze.

0:22:08 > 0:22:13What then happens is the young hero, Dug, agrees to have a football match

0:22:13 > 0:22:19for ownership of the valley.

0:22:19 > 0:22:22It turns out that way back in his heritage,

0:22:22 > 0:22:24football is deep in his genes.

0:22:24 > 0:22:25However, all his tribesmen can't play football,

0:22:25 > 0:22:29so they have to recruit a young woman to teach them to get

0:22:29 > 0:22:34the match ready.

0:22:34 > 0:22:35Firstly, the visuals are incredible.

0:22:35 > 0:22:38They use some computer graphics to get a sense of stadium size,

0:22:38 > 0:22:41but all the primary animation has that Aardman feel,

0:22:41 > 0:22:44it is physical, and I can see you looking at these images.

0:22:44 > 0:22:47It is fantastic.

0:22:47 > 0:22:55It is wonderful.

0:22:55 > 0:22:56And it is properly funny.

0:22:56 > 0:22:59It has great slapstick jokes that referred to Harold Lloyd and Buster

0:22:59 > 0:23:06Keaton.

0:23:06 > 0:23:10There is a homage at the very beginning, but it is also not

0:23:10 > 0:23:12about straightforward end of the pier, innuendo humour.

0:23:12 > 0:23:14I started laughing right from the very beginning.

0:23:14 > 0:23:21I never lost it, I laughed all the way through.

0:23:21 > 0:23:24In the screening there was only me and one other person.

0:23:24 > 0:23:32I became embarrassed by how much I was laughing.

0:23:33 > 0:23:34Were they enjoying it too?

0:23:34 > 0:23:37They were enjoying it but not as much as I was.

0:23:37 > 0:23:39You see so many comedies with insufficient laughter.

0:23:39 > 0:23:43All the way through this I chuckled and I was delighted by the visuals.

0:23:43 > 0:23:44The story was charming.

0:23:44 > 0:23:48And I can go on my own, I don't need to find a child?

0:23:48 > 0:23:49Everybody understands it.

0:23:49 > 0:23:52They make genuine family films for people of all ages.

0:23:52 > 0:23:55I would happily go back and see it again, not least

0:23:55 > 0:23:58because they were so many fleeting sight gags that I did not catch

0:23:58 > 0:23:59the first time round.

0:23:59 > 0:24:01I want to see it again.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03I love Nick Park, he does a great job.

0:24:03 > 0:24:04A genius.

0:24:04 > 0:24:07Your third choice?

0:24:07 > 0:24:08Last Flag Flying.

0:24:08 > 0:24:11It is adapted from a novel and The Last Detail was adapted

0:24:11 > 0:24:14into a film and this is the novel sequel to his novel.

0:24:14 > 0:24:18It is an adaptation of a novel that is not a sequel.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20We are going to test people on that.

0:24:20 > 0:24:24The story is three former Marines are reunited decades later when one

0:24:24 > 0:24:27of their sons dies in Iraq and they go on a road trip together.

0:24:27 > 0:24:29One of them has taken holy orders.

0:24:29 > 0:24:36They go on a road trip together and they bicker and the bond

0:24:36 > 0:24:39and they talk about the past and the present.

0:24:39 > 0:24:47Here is a clip.

0:24:53 > 0:24:54What if I don't like it?

0:24:54 > 0:24:59We get stuck with a contract for two years?

0:24:59 > 0:25:00Two years.

0:25:00 > 0:25:01What if you fall down?

0:25:01 > 0:25:02Have you thought of that?

0:25:02 > 0:25:04With your legs that is a possibility.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07You cannot get up and nobody can see you?

0:25:07 > 0:25:11But with your mobile phone you can get it out and if you could see

0:25:11 > 0:25:13the numbers, your glasses, I can't see, help me,

0:25:13 > 0:25:19I cannot get up.

0:25:19 > 0:25:26911 calls do not count against minutes either.

0:25:26 > 0:25:30Come on!

0:25:30 > 0:25:35If I say yes, Will you shut the hell up?

0:25:35 > 0:25:37The joy of it is the performances.

0:25:37 > 0:25:38Laurence Fishburne is really good.

0:25:38 > 0:25:40Steve Carrell is the person facing up to grief.

0:25:40 > 0:25:42I think he does that really brilliantly.

0:25:42 > 0:25:47If you go there looking for a film that is as cutting edge as the last

0:25:47 > 0:25:48detail, you will be disappointed.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52If you see it as a film in its own right and you are able

0:25:52 > 0:26:00to enjoy the ensemble performances, it is a film

0:26:00 > 0:26:01about their relationship, it is melancholic,

0:26:01 > 0:26:03it is sad and nostalgic.

0:26:03 > 0:26:11It is often laughed out loud funny.

0:26:11 > 0:26:13It will not change the world.

0:26:13 > 0:26:17Rather than saying it is the sequel, it is more of a footnote,

0:26:17 > 0:26:19but a rather charming footnote, largely because the three central

0:26:19 > 0:26:20performances carry it through.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22You were enjoying that clip.

0:26:22 > 0:26:27Yes.

0:26:27 > 0:26:30It is a film that stands on its own.

0:26:30 > 0:26:33Oddly enough, the problem becomes if you try and put it next to others

0:26:33 > 0:26:36and it is a different kettle of fish.

0:26:36 > 0:26:38It is a not sequel to the movie.

0:26:38 > 0:26:43Is that clear?

0:26:43 > 0:26:48I think so. And the best DVD?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Coco came out last week and I love Three Billboards.

0:26:50 > 0:26:54It is great that Pixar animation is finally back at the top

0:26:54 > 0:26:58of its game.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00Deals with some really complicated subjects.

0:27:00 > 0:27:03Life, death, grief, loss, memory, but it does it in a way that

0:27:03 > 0:27:05children and adults alike can watch it.

0:27:05 > 0:27:06It looks beautiful.

0:27:06 > 0:27:10If you see it and you love it, get The Book Of Life on DVD.

0:27:10 > 0:27:13It is a film that prefigures many themes and is also

0:27:13 > 0:27:16a very good movie.

0:27:16 > 0:27:24And DVD.

0:27:25 > 0:27:28I felt ignorant when I read lots about this because of your

0:27:28 > 0:27:30forthcoming recommendation, and it sounds fascinating.

0:27:30 > 0:27:33I felt bad I did not know very much about it.

0:27:33 > 0:27:37In Between is a story about three women living in Tel Aviv,

0:27:37 > 0:27:40each fighting their own personal battle for freedom

0:27:40 > 0:27:41against political, religious and social repression.

0:27:41 > 0:27:43It is beautifully observed, fantastic performances,

0:27:43 > 0:27:51really, really well written.

0:27:51 > 0:27:53It deals with difficult subject matter, often very

0:27:53 > 0:27:56light-hearted and funny.

0:27:56 > 0:27:58It has a beautifully enigmatic ending and the best way

0:27:58 > 0:28:06of describing it is you have seen The Graduate?

0:28:07 > 0:28:09Yes!

0:28:09 > 0:28:12At the end is that incredible sense of ambiguity, I think it has that.

0:28:12 > 0:28:14It is really well worth seeing.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17It didn't get a huge theatrical release, but I have yet to meet

0:28:17 > 0:28:22anyone who has seen it who has not loved it.

0:28:22 > 0:28:27No greater recommendation than that.

0:28:27 > 0:28:30Thank you very much, Mark. An interesting week.

0:28:30 > 0:28:33We are now creeping up towards awards season as well.

0:28:33 > 0:28:37Right in the middle of it.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40Lots to talk about in the coming weeks.

0:28:40 > 0:28:44A quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news

0:28:44 > 0:28:46and reviews from across the BBC online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode.

0:28:54 > 0:29:00Goodbye.

0:30:08 > 0:30:09Hello, this is Breakfast,

0:30:09 > 0:30:14with Naga Munchetty and Ben Thompson.

0:30:14 > 0:30:17Good morning, here's a summary of today's main

0:30:17 > 0:30:19stories from BBC News:

0:30:19 > 0:30:22Police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled

0:30:22 > 0:30:26the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop

0:30:26 > 0:30:30in west London.

0:30:30 > 0:30:32Another 28-year-old man was arrested on Friday night

0:30:32 > 0:30:35on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a car

0:30:35 > 0:30:36mounted the pavement in Hayes.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39The three victims have been named locally as Josh Kennedy,

0:30:39 > 0:30:41Harry Rice and George Wilkinson.

0:30:41 > 0:30:44Paris remains on high alert, with the River Seine expected

0:30:44 > 0:30:46to rise to six metres above its normal level today.

0:30:46 > 0:30:49It follows some of France's heaviest rain for a century.

0:30:49 > 0:30:52Sections of the Louvre museum have closed, some properties have

0:30:52 > 0:30:55flooded and tourist boats are no longer operating.

0:30:55 > 0:30:59A close friend and political ally of President Trump has resigned

0:30:59 > 0:31:01as head of fundraising for the Republican Party

0:31:01 > 0:31:04after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him.

0:31:04 > 0:31:07Steve Wynn, a billionaire casino owner,

0:31:07 > 0:31:09was chosen by Mr Trump to be finance

0:31:09 > 0:31:10chairman of the Republican National Committee.

0:31:10 > 0:31:13He's alleged to have subjected dozens of women

0:31:13 > 0:31:20to unwanted sexual advances.

0:31:20 > 0:31:22Mr Wynn has described the claims, published

0:31:22 > 0:31:24by the Wall Street Journal, as preposterous.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said he's not aware of any invitation

0:31:27 > 0:31:35to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

0:31:36 > 0:31:38In an ITV interview, the US President said the pair

0:31:38 > 0:31:44looked like a lovely couple, but when asked if had received

0:31:44 > 0:31:47an invite he replied, "Not that I know of."

0:31:47 > 0:31:53Ms Markle has previously called Mr Trump divisive

0:31:53 > 0:31:5716 and 17 year-olds in Wales are to be given the right to vote

0:31:57 > 0:32:00in local elections, under plans published by the Welsh government.

0:32:00 > 0:32:03If approved, Wales would follow Scotland, where the voting age has

0:32:03 > 0:32:05already been lowered for national and local elections.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08The Labour Party has called for the idea to be extended

0:32:08 > 0:32:10to the whole of the UK.

0:32:10 > 0:32:13The Westminster government says it has no plans to do so.

0:32:13 > 0:32:15The former Northern Ireland Secretary and prominent Leave

0:32:15 > 0:32:18campaigner Theresa Villiers has said she fears the UK is heading

0:32:18 > 0:32:19towards a dilution of Brexit.

0:32:19 > 0:32:22Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, she says there's a real

0:32:22 > 0:32:26danger the UK will sign up to deal which would "keep us in the EU

0:32:26 > 0:32:27in all but name."

0:32:27 > 0:32:29A Downing Street spokesperson said the government is committed

0:32:29 > 0:32:32to delivering Brexit and a deep and special future partnership

0:32:32 > 0:32:37with the EU.

0:32:37 > 0:32:40Parking companies which use unfair practices are to be banned

0:32:40 > 0:32:41from accessing motorists' details and issuing fines.

0:32:41 > 0:32:43The government has confirmed it's to introduce

0:32:43 > 0:32:46legislation to try to improve standards among parking

0:32:46 > 0:32:46firms in England.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49Ministers say they want to put an end to inconsistent rules,

0:32:49 > 0:32:57poor signage, intimidating letters and a confusing appeals process.

0:32:58 > 0:33:05Time to talk about the cricket. Good morning. How are you doing?Very

0:33:05 > 0:33:11good, good morning. Sorry, frog in my throat. The cricket is under way

0:33:11 > 0:33:14in Australia, the one-day series is going better than the Ashes is the

0:33:14 > 0:33:19easy thing to say, we won it this time last week more less. Although

0:33:19 > 0:33:23there was a blip on Friday losing the fourth test, here we are at this

0:33:23 > 0:33:27point it's looking fairly good.

0:33:27 > 0:33:30The fifth and final one-day international between England and

0:33:30 > 0:33:36Australia is on in Perth. Australia won the toss and put England in to

0:33:36 > 0:33:42back this morning. -- bat.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46There were a lot of decent starts for England's batsman but Australia

0:33:46 > 0:33:47have been picking up regular wickets.

0:33:47 > 0:33:50This was Moeen Ali becoming the sixth man out.

0:33:50 > 0:33:53Joe Root is still there and has just made his 50.

0:33:53 > 0:33:54England are 234-6 with six overs left.

0:33:54 > 0:33:58There were 12 FA Cup fourth round ties yesterday and a couple

0:33:58 > 0:34:00of upsets too and plenty of debate

0:34:00 > 0:34:01about the new Video Assistant Referee.

0:34:01 > 0:34:05Teams from Leagues One and Two continue to punch above their weight

0:34:05 > 0:34:07with the biggest result of the day coming courtesy

0:34:07 > 0:34:09of Wigan Athletic who knocked out West Ham.

0:34:09 > 0:34:12Notts County and Newport earned replays against Premier League

0:34:12 > 0:34:15opposition, with the Welsh side coming so close to knocking out

0:34:15 > 0:34:15Spurs altogether.

0:34:15 > 0:34:23Joe Lynskey rounds up the action.

0:34:25 > 0:34:30It's the competition that throws up the culture clashes. This is Newport

0:34:30 > 0:34:34County's home, a long way from Wembley Stadium in every sense. But

0:34:34 > 0:34:37the league two side weren't just here for the occasion.Good cross

0:34:37 > 0:34:44back in and it's in for Newport County! Padraig Armond has scored.

0:34:44 > 0:34:49Huge smiles on all Newport faces. A moment for South Wales to sing for

0:34:49 > 0:34:53and for a while this had the makings of a most remarkable upset. But when

0:34:53 > 0:35:00Spurs aren't at their best, one man can, comes to say them. Kane has a

0:35:00 > 0:35:04tap in and Spurs are going to dig themselves out of a whole heap of

0:35:04 > 0:35:07trouble.You can pretty much count on him.

0:35:07 > 0:35:10County were eight minutes from glory but this is a draw with a decent

0:35:10 > 0:35:15consolation prize. A replay at Spurs' temporary home gives the

0:35:15 > 0:35:21Exiles quite a day out.We're going to Wembley!Replay at Wembley! Fair

0:35:21 > 0:35:25play to my players, they gave everything and I'm sure I'll wake up

0:35:25 > 0:35:28in the morning being one of the happiest man alive.

0:35:28 > 0:35:32Wigan have been a nuisance for a few top tier sides now after Bournemouth

0:35:32 > 0:35:37in round three, now they've seen off West Ham. A 2-0 win on a day the

0:35:37 > 0:35:41James didn't show up.You couldn't have called us a Premier League team

0:35:41 > 0:35:45today, a lot of young players got a chance but not many impressed me and

0:35:45 > 0:35:48I was disappointed with the senior players, they didn't help the young

0:35:48 > 0:35:52players on more as well. An extraordinary evening at Anfield

0:35:52 > 0:35:57saw history made in moving pictures. First VAR ruled out West Brom's goal

0:35:57 > 0:36:02and then it gave Liverpool a penalty, which it missed. It's a new

0:36:02 > 0:36:06system on trial and still dividing opinion.The penalty was the bad

0:36:06 > 0:36:10decision, it went on and on and it wasn't difficult. It seemed to go

0:36:10 > 0:36:14upstairs and then they called him to have a look. If you've got someone

0:36:14 > 0:36:17up there with the evidence, make a decision. Either stick with the

0:36:17 > 0:36:22referee and tell him he's wrong and let's crack on. I'm glad they got

0:36:22 > 0:36:26the decision is right but it needs tweaking.But it barely took the

0:36:26 > 0:36:30shine off a brilliant night for the Baggies, a 3-2 win would have made

0:36:30 > 0:36:37him proud. They take pride in their history too

0:36:37 > 0:36:41at Notts County but present glory could come in a replay against

0:36:41 > 0:36:46Swansea. Jon Stead's equaliser has the Magpies in the hat but the

0:36:46 > 0:36:49lowest ranked team definitely through our Coventry City. The

0:36:49 > 0:36:54league two side found their way past MK Dons. This is the competition

0:36:54 > 0:36:58where emotions can spill over and understandably so with a Wembley

0:36:58 > 0:37:02outing so close. The semifinals now are just two rounds away. Joe

0:37:02 > 0:37:05Lynskey, BBC News.

0:37:05 > 0:37:07In the Scottish Premiership, Celtic moved 14 points clear

0:37:07 > 0:37:09at the top after beating Hibs 1-0.

0:37:09 > 0:37:11Aberdeen climbed above Rangers, who play later today.

0:37:11 > 0:37:16The Dons beat Kilmarnock 3-1 with two goals from Scott McKenna

0:37:16 > 0:37:18and another from Niall McGinn, who ran round three quarters

0:37:18 > 0:37:21the length of the pitch to score Aberdeen's third.

0:37:21 > 0:37:23Elsewhere, wins for Partick and Dundee.

0:37:23 > 0:37:26In just under two hours' time, Roger Federer plays Marin Cilic

0:37:26 > 0:37:28in a record seventh Australian Open final.

0:37:28 > 0:37:31The Croat will be out for revenge, having being beaten by Federer

0:37:31 > 0:37:33in the final at Wimbledon last year.

0:37:33 > 0:37:35Federer is going for a 20th Grand Slam title.

0:37:35 > 0:37:38Here are some of Roger Federer's incredible achievements

0:37:38 > 0:37:39during his career.

0:37:39 > 0:37:43This is a 30th Grand Slam final, he's won 19 already to be

0:37:43 > 0:37:47the most successful male in the open era.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50He's won 95 titles, only Jimmy Connors has more.

0:37:50 > 0:37:52He's won over 11 100 singles matches,

0:37:52 > 0:38:00picked up an Olympic gold and silver medal,

0:38:00 > 0:38:07taken Switzerland to the Davis Cup and won about £79 million.

0:38:07 > 0:38:14Another win will add another £2 million to that pot.

0:38:15 > 0:38:21It would be amazing. I can't believe how fast now the week has turned out

0:38:21 > 0:38:30to be. Yeah... It ain't just an easy trip to the finals. There's always a

0:38:30 > 0:38:35lot of work that goes into it during the tournament, focus and also

0:38:35 > 0:38:40preparation beforehand for many weeks and months before. You tried

0:38:40 > 0:38:45to put yourself in the position.

0:38:45 > 0:38:49I have to stay focused mentally and to be ready from the first point on

0:38:49 > 0:38:55the final. It's big motivation for me to play that final and obviously

0:38:55 > 0:39:01to win and I'm feeling really good with my game and so hopefully I can

0:39:01 > 0:39:05have a great match and also great energy on the court.

0:39:05 > 0:39:07A dream come true is how Caroline Wozniacki described

0:39:07 > 0:39:09becoming a Grand Slam champion.

0:39:09 > 0:39:12The Danish second seed defeated Simona Halep in three sets to win

0:39:12 > 0:39:16the Australian Open.

0:39:16 > 0:39:19It took her 43 attempts to win a slam

0:39:19 > 0:39:22and her reward isn't only that shiny trophy,

0:39:22 > 0:39:26she'll also become the world number one.

0:39:26 > 0:39:32You know, being here tonight as a grand slam champion, Australian Open

0:39:32 > 0:39:37champion, it's very special. Daphne here is going home with me tonight

0:39:37 > 0:39:40and I'll be cuddling with her so yeah!

0:39:40 > 0:39:43Rory McIlroy lies in second place going into today's final

0:39:43 > 0:39:45round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

0:39:45 > 0:39:47The Northern Irishman shot four birdies and an eagle

0:39:47 > 0:39:55to finish his third round on 19 under par, one behind leader

0:40:02 > 0:40:04Li Haotong of China, who's 20 under.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06McIlroy tees off at quarter to nine our time.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10Isn't it amazing how well someone can do without an injury, Tiger

0:40:10 > 0:40:13Woods coming back from his back surgery, Rory McIlroy has been open

0:40:13 > 0:40:17about taking a break and needing to reassess.You have to think about

0:40:17 > 0:40:23the level of any sportsman and what their body is going through. Looking

0:40:23 > 0:40:28at Roger Federer, he isn't a young man, but he is looking after himself

0:40:28 > 0:40:31now, taking breaks between tournaments and if anything he keeps

0:40:31 > 0:40:38going. Is the ageless?Can we be clear about what is young?I think

0:40:38 > 0:40:43in tennis terms we can agree.I'm glad you clarified that! Thanks very

0:40:43 > 0:40:45much!

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Should all 16 and 17-year-olds be given the vote?

0:40:48 > 0:40:51The Welsh government says they'll be allowed to have their say in future

0:40:51 > 0:40:54local elections and a similar cut in the voting age

0:40:54 > 0:40:56came into force in Scotland two years ago.

0:40:56 > 0:40:59The Labour Party says the idea should be extended

0:40:59 > 0:41:02across the whole of the UK and that teens should be allowed

0:41:02 > 0:41:04to vote in general elections too.

0:41:04 > 0:41:05So is it a good idea?

0:41:05 > 0:41:09We asked some young people in Cardiff what they think.

0:41:09 > 0:41:13I think it would be a good thing for us to be able to vote

0:41:13 > 0:41:17because we would be voting for our future, but at the same time

0:41:17 > 0:41:25I don't think we get educated enough about politics.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31Personally I don't think we should reduce the age to 16 because I don't

0:41:31 > 0:41:35think schools are educating as an off on the politics signed things.

0:41:35 > 0:41:40Word we have to deal with the consequences of the elections and

0:41:40 > 0:41:47the referendums and such as Brexit, it's about our work life in the

0:41:47 > 0:41:49future.

0:41:49 > 0:41:51Professor Andrew Russell, Head of Politics at the University

0:41:51 > 0:41:57of Liverpool joins us now.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00It's interesting, we have seen it changed in Scotland but it was

0:42:00 > 0:42:04introduced during the Scottish referendum so there was excitement

0:42:04 > 0:42:08about voting then. Is there evidence that has continued?It has changed

0:42:08 > 0:42:14in Scotland at all levels below the General Election, Scottish

0:42:14 > 0:42:17Parliament elections, local elections and crucially 16 and 17

0:42:17 > 0:42:22-year-olds were first able to vote in the Scottish referendum, a very

0:42:22 > 0:42:27high-profile election that engaged 16 and 17 -year-olds and there is

0:42:27 > 0:42:31evidence they were then able to carry on that participation and

0:42:31 > 0:42:34engagement into future elections. What worries me about this

0:42:34 > 0:42:38development is if you give them the vote in Welsh local elections it

0:42:38 > 0:42:43might not be the most high profile of elections and so therefore if

0:42:43 > 0:42:48your first experience... If the argument is that your first

0:42:48 > 0:42:52experience is the one that is key and that's when you get engaged and

0:42:52 > 0:42:56if you vote early youth vote often, if your first experience is pretty

0:42:56 > 0:43:01low-key then you might abstain and it might be abstention that you are

0:43:01 > 0:43:06surviving in your life-cycle. It might be that you have a period of

0:43:06 > 0:43:12abstention.The flipside is local elections can raise their game?

0:43:12 > 0:43:17Improves involvement and promote their game? With the Scottish

0:43:17 > 0:43:21referendum, 16 and 17-year-olds had a real influence in terms of how

0:43:21 > 0:43:26that vote happened.The Scottish independence referendum, lots of

0:43:26 > 0:43:31people voted, unprecedented turnout. That caught everyone's attention,

0:43:31 > 0:43:35including 16 and 17-year-olds. There is no doubt that that was excess but

0:43:35 > 0:43:39it was also successful among all those groups are unlikely to vote in

0:43:39 > 0:43:43other elections.There was the argument when it came to the EU

0:43:43 > 0:43:46referendum that if 16 and 17-year-olds had the vote then

0:43:46 > 0:43:50anecdotally there could have been a different result.But we know the

0:43:50 > 0:43:55younger section of society were the least likely to vote in the

0:43:55 > 0:43:59referendum. There aren't enough 16 and 17-year-olds to vote in high

0:43:59 > 0:44:06numbers to overcome the lack of enthusiasm to vote amongst 18224s in

0:44:06 > 0:44:11the EU referendum. It's quite interesting that these changes

0:44:11 > 0:44:17proposed in Wales are rolled into other changes about the way in which

0:44:17 > 0:44:21we vote and it might be that... None of these changes are enough

0:44:21 > 0:44:29sufficient on their own unless they are coupled up and rolled into a

0:44:29 > 0:44:32series of changes about voter education and maybe even changes in

0:44:32 > 0:44:38the future about the mechanism of voting so few of us live in safe

0:44:38 > 0:44:43seats. If that's the case elections might be more deeply contested and

0:44:43 > 0:44:47there would be more at stake in some of these elections. Even if general

0:44:47 > 0:44:51elections in Britain are tied, most live in safe constituencies.What

0:44:51 > 0:44:56are the key issues that would get younger people out to vote? We've

0:44:56 > 0:45:00touched on Brexit and the Scottish referendum but it's unlikely in

0:45:00 > 0:45:06local education is they will be a lot of youth issues.

0:45:06 > 0:45:12That will be one of the big concerns. Generally for 16 and 17

0:45:12 > 0:45:15-year-olds and young people generally, they are more involved in

0:45:15 > 0:45:18politics now that you might otherwise expect. But it is about

0:45:18 > 0:45:24how you make things relevant. There is no magic wallet with 16 and 17

0:45:24 > 0:45:27-year-olds, it is the same as ordinary voters. How do you make

0:45:27 > 0:45:32politics relevant to their everyday lives? Sometimes you have to package

0:45:32 > 0:45:36things up in a different way. If you are talking about health issues, for

0:45:36 > 0:45:40instance, that is something which affects young people as much as it

0:45:40 > 0:45:43affects older people. If you are talking about crime and safety, that

0:45:43 > 0:45:48impact on young people just as much as it does old people. What it is

0:45:48 > 0:45:53just how you package it up, and then of course the added danger to that

0:45:53 > 0:45:58is whenever politicians try and talk to you, they tend to do so in a very

0:45:58 > 0:46:02patronising way. And the youngest sections of society are the ones who

0:46:02 > 0:46:10can smell that kind of naffness a mile off.Thank you very much. Nice

0:46:10 > 0:46:11to see you.

0:46:11 > 0:46:14Here is Susan with a look at this morning's weather.

0:46:14 > 0:46:16Here is Susan with a look at this morning's weather.

0:46:16 > 0:46:20A very good morning to you.If you are looking out the window first

0:46:20 > 0:46:24thing, you might think it is looking very grey, but it will feel quite

0:46:24 > 0:46:28present. Mild air sitting across us has come all the way up from the

0:46:28 > 0:46:33Atlantic. Very moist air, and that is why we will have so much cloud

0:46:33 > 0:46:38sitting across us. For the majority, are reasonably dry day. At first

0:46:38 > 0:46:43glance, possibly not that appealing. It will be pretty grey for much of

0:46:43 > 0:46:46England and Wales, rain first thing for Northern Ireland, clearing the

0:46:46 > 0:46:50afternoon. For Scotland, the best of the brightness initially in the far

0:46:50 > 0:46:54north-east but then a grey and wet story for Scotland today. We have

0:46:54 > 0:46:58this weather front sitting in place which will push some heavy rain into

0:46:58 > 0:47:02us, especially parts of Argyll and the western highlands during the

0:47:02 > 0:47:07day. Further south, Northern Ireland looks dry during the afternoon.

0:47:07 > 0:47:10Generally quite cloudy and murky across much of England and Wales but

0:47:10 > 0:47:15the wind everywhere across England and Wales will be quite keen. Quite

0:47:15 > 0:47:19gusty as well, and that will open it up in a few places. It is a mild

0:47:19 > 0:47:24story even if you keep the cloud, and we could see 14 off then it's a

0:47:24 > 0:47:27little bit of sunshine breaks through. Overnight tonight, a

0:47:27 > 0:47:33weather front in the North starts to sink back south. And to the north of

0:47:33 > 0:47:37that, colder air. A chilly start in Scotland with patchy frost, this

0:47:37 > 0:47:42band of rain sinking its way south. Northern Ireland largely fine by

0:47:42 > 0:47:47rush-hour, but the colder air moving its way south as that front goes

0:47:47 > 0:47:50south, that will be the most noticeable change during the day on

0:47:50 > 0:47:54Monday. There is that weather front, the rain into England and Wales

0:47:54 > 0:47:57through the day on Monday. Scotland and Northern Ireland seeing some

0:47:57 > 0:48:02sunshine, some showers for Scotland. The biggest change will be the

0:48:02 > 0:48:05colder air arriving, and eventually that colder, clear air syncing in

0:48:05 > 0:48:09northern England. The mildest weather on Monday, the temperatures

0:48:09 > 0:48:14across southern counties elsewhere about average for the time of year,

0:48:14 > 0:48:19about eight or nine.Thank you very much, it is nice to see those

0:48:19 > 0:48:22temperatures up, even if only temporarily.And the rain doing the

0:48:22 > 0:48:30right way. -- going the right way.

0:48:30 > 0:48:37Now on Breakfast, it is time for Click.

0:48:47 > 0:48:50Ah, the streets of San Francisco!

0:48:50 > 0:48:57Mecca for technology innovators and aficionados.

0:48:57 > 0:49:00A destination where the cult of geek reigns supreme.

0:49:00 > 0:49:02Everyone's got that billion-dollar idea here and everyone wants

0:49:02 > 0:49:06to save the world.

0:49:06 > 0:49:12The ethos of nothing's impossible runs in the veins and Twitter feeds

0:49:12 > 0:49:14of every twentysomething Zuckerberg wannabe.

0:49:14 > 0:49:22Now Silicon Valley is taking on life's biggest challenge, death.

0:49:22 > 0:49:26Dave Lee has been looking at how Silicon Valley is trying to help us

0:49:26 > 0:49:33all live longer.

0:49:33 > 0:49:35This will be my last meal for 36 hours.

0:49:35 > 0:49:38Like a growing number of people in Silicon Valley,

0:49:38 > 0:49:40I'm about to try fasting, something some here believe

0:49:40 > 0:49:43could contribute to extending our lifespan.

0:49:43 > 0:49:47My advice to you, just sleep in really late so you don't have

0:49:47 > 0:49:48to deal with it!

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

0:49:49 > 0:49:51She tells me living longer is becoming something

0:49:51 > 0:49:55of an obsession for many techies.

0:49:55 > 0:49:59We tend to see people not just thinking of their body as a machine

0:49:59 > 0:50:03but talking about it metaphorically as a machine.

0:50:03 > 0:50:05Are they actually making any progress?

0:50:05 > 0:50:08It's growing so quickly right now, we understand so much more this year

0:50:08 > 0:50:11than we did last year even but the other thing about science

0:50:11 > 0:50:19is the more questions you answer, the more questions there are.

0:50:19 > 0:50:22One incredible idea being tested here can be traced back to this man,

0:50:22 > 0:50:24Paul Bert.

0:50:24 > 0:50:27In the mid-1800s, he claimed if you took an old mouse

0:50:27 > 0:50:30and literally stitched it together with a young mouse,

0:50:30 > 0:50:33the young mouse would become more agile, have a better memory and heal

0:50:33 > 0:50:37more quickly once it had the young blood flowing through its veins.

0:50:37 > 0:50:40Of course we can't start stitching humans together,

0:50:40 > 0:50:47but there is a start-up that thinks it can do than expected thing.

0:50:47 > 0:50:50Alkahest is a California based start-up that believes weekly

0:50:50 > 0:50:52injections of blood plasma from young people could fight

0:50:52 > 0:50:57the onest of Alzheimer's.

0:50:57 > 0:51:01We treated these patients once a week for four weeks with one unit

0:51:01 > 0:51:04of plasma, and we found the treatment was safe and very

0:51:04 > 0:51:07importantly, although it was a short study to see learning and memory

0:51:07 > 0:51:15improvements, but it was good enough to see some near-term improvements.

0:51:29 > 0:51:33The team said it found those treated were more capable of basic daily

0:51:33 > 0:51:35tasks and more aware of their surroundings.

0:51:35 > 0:51:36Encouraging but far from conclusive.

0:51:36 > 0:51:37Bigger trials are happening soon.

0:51:37 > 0:51:39We're basically fertilising the brain so to speak

0:51:39 > 0:51:41with this protein cocktail.

0:51:41 > 0:51:43To get some answers on whether or not fantastical ideas

0:51:43 > 0:51:47could actually work, I went to visit one of the world's

0:51:47 > 0:51:48foremost experts on ageing.

0:51:48 > 0:51:51One of the ideas we're looking at is fasting and how that can

0:51:51 > 0:51:58perhaps rejuvenate the body in some way.

0:51:58 > 0:51:59Is that true?

0:51:59 > 0:52:01What's the science behind that?

0:52:01 > 0:52:03Fasting elicits a response in your body that triggers

0:52:03 > 0:52:06a protection against many of the diseases associated with age.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08So there's growing realisation that multiple forms of fasting might

0:52:08 > 0:52:16actually be beneficial in the long-term.

0:52:16 > 0:52:20One of the more perhaps outrageous ideas is that you can transfer young

0:52:20 > 0:52:23blood into an older person and that will rejuvenate and slow the ageing

0:52:23 > 0:52:24process, is that true?

0:52:24 > 0:52:26First let's talk about the science in mice.

0:52:26 > 0:52:28It is actually amazing work.

0:52:28 > 0:52:29The science is really strong.

0:52:29 > 0:52:32Now, taking this and bringing it to humans is a completely different

0:52:32 > 0:52:36story, so the idea for example that one would take human plasma or human

0:52:36 > 0:52:39plasma product and give it to humans to prevent ageing is,

0:52:39 > 0:52:45in my opinion, lunacy.

0:52:45 > 0:52:47Finally, my 36 hours were up.

0:52:47 > 0:52:50I'm not sure it's worth it, the lows I had last night and this

0:52:50 > 0:52:54morning were awful and to do that regularly I think might lead

0:52:54 > 0:53:02to a longer life but it certainly wouldn't be a happier one.

0:53:12 > 0:53:15What could be really interesting, though, is if these companies can

0:53:15 > 0:53:17recreate the positive effects of fasting without the hard work

0:53:17 > 0:53:21of having to go without food for such a long period of time.

0:53:21 > 0:53:24But for now, I think I'm going to choose breakfast.

0:53:24 > 0:53:27Now, we've been looking at various ways to try and extend human life,

0:53:27 > 0:53:30possibly indefinitely, but the researchers can't do it yet

0:53:30 > 0:53:37and so, until they can, there are those who are offering

0:53:37 > 0:53:39to put your life on pause.

0:53:39 > 0:53:42Marc Cieslak has been to Arizona to meet the self-preservation society.

0:53:42 > 0:53:45Death and taxes, as the saying goes, are the two things none

0:53:45 > 0:53:48of us can avoid.

0:53:48 > 0:53:50What about if there was a workaround for death,

0:53:50 > 0:53:58some way of extending our physical existence on this planet?

0:54:00 > 0:54:04Alcor was founded in 1972 in order to preserve people from the point

0:54:04 > 0:54:07of death, freeze them and then when technology is sufficiently

0:54:07 > 0:54:08advanced revive them in the future.

0:54:08 > 0:54:16A process it calls cryonics.

0:54:16 > 0:54:19This is an interesting infographic on the history of cryonics,

0:54:19 > 0:54:21which starts actually as far back as 1773,

0:54:21 > 0:54:24when Benjamin Franklin thought about the future of America

0:54:24 > 0:54:32and speculated that maybe he could be pickled in a vat

0:54:32 > 0:54:36of madeira with his best friends to see how the country came out.

0:54:36 > 0:54:38What goes on in this space here?

0:54:38 > 0:54:40Obviously this simulates a procedure you would normally perform

0:54:40 > 0:54:41when somebody dies?

0:54:41 > 0:54:41Exactly.

0:54:41 > 0:54:44We have to wait for the legal death to be declared.

0:54:44 > 0:54:48At that point we move the patient from the bed to the ice bath.

0:54:48 > 0:54:50We're gonna cover them with ice.

0:54:50 > 0:54:53And at the same time, even though they've been called

0:54:53 > 0:54:55legally dead, we're gonna restart all kinds of things.

0:54:55 > 0:54:57We're gonna use a respirator to recover breathing,

0:54:57 > 0:55:00we will use this mechanical CPR device and the reason we're doing

0:55:00 > 0:55:04that is that we want to administer a series of different medications

0:55:04 > 0:55:05to protect the cells.

0:55:05 > 0:55:09So this is even though the patient themselves is dead at this point?

0:55:09 > 0:55:16Right.

0:55:16 > 0:55:19It's very much like when you donate an organ, even though the person has

0:55:19 > 0:55:23been declared dead that doesn't mean all of the cells are suddenly dead.

0:55:23 > 0:55:25Patients are effectively pumped full of antifreeze

0:55:25 > 0:55:27to protect their tissue from the freezing process

0:55:27 > 0:55:28which comes later.

0:55:28 > 0:55:32It costs up to $200,000 to preserve a full body and $60,000 if somebody

0:55:32 > 0:55:33just wants their head preserved.

0:55:33 > 0:55:35So this is our operating room.

0:55:35 > 0:55:37The patient will be put on this special operating table.

0:55:37 > 0:55:40It's basically designed to shape the patient for long-term storage.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43We don't want someone at a very low temperature

0:55:43 > 0:55:44with their arm sticking out.

0:55:44 > 0:55:46It's very hard to fit into the capsule.

0:55:46 > 0:55:50This here as well, this is just for heads?

0:55:50 > 0:55:53So usually we'll begin on the operating table over

0:55:53 > 0:55:56there and then we do a neuro separation, a few vertebrae down,

0:55:56 > 0:55:59and then place the patient's cephalon, which is the brain

0:55:59 > 0:56:01plus the skull, upside down in the neuro ring.

0:56:01 > 0:56:04Essentially the same process, we're going to remove the blood

0:56:04 > 0:56:07and fluids from the brain and cryo protect them against ice formation.

0:56:07 > 0:56:10Why would people want their head separated from their body?

0:56:10 > 0:56:13I'm not going to come back just as a head,

0:56:13 > 0:56:16I'm going to get a new body and my view is that,

0:56:16 > 0:56:19unless I die early in an accident, then maybe I'm 95, 100-years-old

0:56:19 > 0:56:23if I'm lucky, my body's going to be in lousy shape anyway and the whole

0:56:23 > 0:56:25thing will have to be regenerated.

0:56:25 > 0:56:28Why go to the extra cost of storing my whole body,

0:56:28 > 0:56:31which is ten times the volume of just my head?

0:56:31 > 0:56:33The corridors here are lined with photos of people

0:56:33 > 0:56:35who are already frozen in Alcor's storage facility.

0:56:35 > 0:56:38This is the patient care base, where we currently store

0:56:38 > 0:56:39all of our patients.

0:56:39 > 0:56:40Currently 152.

0:56:40 > 0:56:41These are all of your patients?

0:56:41 > 0:56:43Yes, all of our patients here.

0:56:43 > 0:56:45Actually about two thirds of them are neuro patients.

0:56:45 > 0:56:47That means they're just heads?

0:56:47 > 0:56:47Yeah.

0:56:47 > 0:56:49So about half our living members are whole body.

0:56:49 > 0:56:51We actually have more neuro patients here.

0:56:51 > 0:56:54This can actually contain four whole body patients.

0:56:54 > 0:56:56Alcor doesn't have any legal obligation to the people stored

0:56:56 > 0:56:59here as they've technically donated their bodies to science.

0:56:59 > 0:57:01What happens if you have a power cut, for instance?

0:57:01 > 0:57:03Well, we don't need electricity for this.

0:57:03 > 0:57:05These are passive vessels, they're just gigantic,

0:57:05 > 0:57:08very expensive Thermos flasks and you don't plug your Thermos

0:57:08 > 0:57:09flask into electricity.

0:57:09 > 0:57:12We just use the liquid nitrogen, which boils off at -320,

0:57:12 > 0:57:13to maintain that temperature.

0:57:13 > 0:57:16Alcor says it's a non-profit making organisation and that it has 1,150

0:57:16 > 0:57:19people signed up for its services, including Silicon Valley billionaire

0:57:19 > 0:57:27Peter Thiel.

0:57:29 > 0:57:32But what motivates ordinary people to shell out up to $200,000

0:57:32 > 0:57:40for cryogenic preservation?

0:57:46 > 0:57:49Back in the UK, Derek Watkinson has signed himself and his family up

0:57:49 > 0:57:57for just that via a different outfit called The Cryonics Institute.

0:57:57 > 0:58:00I imagine being on my deathbed, dying, and then immediately waking

0:58:00 > 0:58:02up.

0:58:02 > 0:58:05If it's gonna work, I'm gonna wake up straightaway,

0:58:05 > 0:58:07'cause the passage of time won't mean anything,

0:58:07 > 0:58:10because I'm dead.

0:58:10 > 0:58:13So I'll wake up immediately and hopefully I'll be able

0:58:13 > 0:58:13to remember things.

0:58:13 > 0:58:15My memory will be intact, hopefully.

0:58:15 > 0:58:21Who I am.

0:58:21 > 0:58:24Your whole family is going to be preserved as well?

0:58:24 > 0:58:25Yeah.

0:58:25 > 0:58:28Luckily my wife and daughter are for the idea and they are signed

0:58:28 > 0:58:30up members of cryonics institute.

0:58:30 > 0:58:32But is this all too good to be true?

0:58:32 > 0:58:35We spoke to a neuroscientist who has serious misgivings about the basic

0:58:35 > 0:58:36foundations of cryonics.

0:58:36 > 0:58:39You really can't afford to freeze biological tissue until it's

0:58:39 > 0:58:44been appropriately protected.

0:58:44 > 0:58:47But unless you take it down to those low temperatures for protection

0:58:47 > 0:58:49quite quickly, it will continue to decompose.

0:58:49 > 0:58:52And my problem with the cryonics dream, the wishful thinking

0:58:52 > 0:58:54contracts that are sold, is that they haven't

0:58:54 > 0:59:02resolved that conflict.

0:59:02 > 0:59:05There's no evidence that they can get the antifreeze into all those

0:59:05 > 0:59:07micro nooks and crannies into the brain and satisfactorily

0:59:07 > 0:59:11protect it.

0:59:11 > 0:59:13We put this to Alcor, who provided a detailed response:

0:59:13 > 0:59:16So is this the ultimate insurance policy then?

0:59:31 > 0:59:34So is this the ultimate insurance policy then?

0:59:34 > 0:59:37Yeah, but I've not lost anything. A bit of money.

0:59:37 > 0:59:45But what's a bit of money!?

0:59:46 > 0:59:50That's it for the short cut of Click in San Francisco.

0:59:50 > 0:59:54The full-length version is up on iPlayer for you to watch right

0:59:54 > 0:59:57now, and there's more from us on Twitter @BBCclick and on Facebook

0:59:57 > 0:59:58throughout the week.

0:59:58 > 1:00:01Thanks very much for watching and we will see you soon.

1:00:24 > 1:00:24Hello.

1:00:24 > 1:00:27This is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Ben

1:00:30 > 1:00:33Police hunt a man thought to have fled the scene of a horrific crash

1:00:33 > 1:00:36in west London that killed three teenage boys.

1:00:36 > 1:00:38The victims have been named locally as Josh Kennedy,

1:00:38 > 1:00:40Harry Rice, and George Wilkinson.

1:00:40 > 1:00:46A 28-year-old man has been arrested.

1:00:53 > 1:00:55Good morning.

1:00:55 > 1:00:56It's Sunday the 28th of January.

1:00:56 > 1:01:02Also this morning:

1:01:02 > 1:01:05Paris is on flood alert as water levels continue to rise along

1:01:05 > 1:01:07the River Seine.

1:01:07 > 1:01:1116 and 17 year olds in Wales could get the right to vote in local

1:01:11 > 1:01:14elections as part of new plans to keep them interested in politics.

1:01:14 > 1:01:15Good morning.

1:01:15 > 1:01:18And in sport, England have work to do if they're to end their

1:01:18 > 1:01:20one-day series with another win over Australia.

1:01:20 > 1:01:24Joe Root is the only man to pass 50 as they are bowled

1:01:24 > 1:01:26out for 259.

1:01:26 > 1:01:30For me personally, the culture that I grew up in, it's a dream release,

1:01:30 > 1:01:37a dream come true.

1:01:37 > 1:01:38The artwork by Banksy that's

1:01:38 > 1:01:41appeared on a bridge in Hull, and why one councillor thinks it

1:01:41 > 1:01:45should be cleaned up.

1:01:45 > 1:01:49And Susan has the weather.

1:01:49 > 1:01:58A lot of cloud. Fingers crossed for some breaks. A mild day. More in 15

1:01:58 > 1:01:59minutes.

1:01:59 > 1:02:00Good morning.

1:02:00 > 1:02:08First, our main story.

1:02:16 > 1:02:19Police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled

1:02:19 > 1:02:23the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop

1:02:23 > 1:02:23in West London.

1:02:23 > 1:02:26A 28-year-old man was arrested on Friday night on suspicion

1:02:26 > 1:02:29of causing death by dangerous driving after a car mounted

1:02:29 > 1:02:30the pavement in Hayes.

1:02:30 > 1:02:33The three victims have been named locally as Josh Kennedy,

1:02:33 > 1:02:34Harry Rice and George Wilkinson.

1:02:34 > 1:02:35Jon Donnison reports.

1:02:35 > 1:02:38Three teenage friends on their way to a Friday night party.

1:02:38 > 1:02:39Their lives cut short.

1:02:39 > 1:02:41They've been named locally as Josh Kennedy, George Wilkinson

1:02:41 > 1:02:42and Harry Rice.

1:02:42 > 1:02:44He'd been a promising footballer with Farnborough FC.

1:02:44 > 1:02:47"Our thoughts are with Harry's family and friends at this sad

1:02:47 > 1:02:53time," the club posted on social media.

1:02:53 > 1:03:01Yesterday at the scene of the crash the community gathered

1:03:03 > 1:03:05to pay their respects and offer an impromptu tribute.

1:03:05 > 1:03:10They were killed when they were hit by this black Audi as it reared up

1:03:10 > 1:03:18onto the pavement at speed.

1:03:18 > 1:03:20A 28-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death

1:03:20 > 1:03:21by dangerous driving.

1:03:21 > 1:03:25Police are looking for a second man they believe was in the car

1:03:25 > 1:03:26who fled the scene.

1:03:26 > 1:03:27They're appealing for witnesses.

1:03:27 > 1:03:31There was a bus driver in front of us and he came over and said,

1:03:31 > 1:03:32"Oh, yes, there's someone dead in the road, and at that point

1:03:32 > 1:03:33I relayed that to 999 and within five minutes

1:03:33 > 1:03:34an ambulance arrived.

1:03:34 > 1:03:37But officers say all three boys died at the scene.

1:03:37 > 1:03:39They're appealing for anyone with any information

1:03:39 > 1:03:39to come forward.

1:03:39 > 1:03:42Jon Donnison, BBC News.

1:03:42 > 1:03:49We can speak to him now at the scene. A tragic story. What more do

1:03:49 > 1:03:56we know?You can see behind me a huge amount of floral tributes left

1:03:56 > 1:04:02yesterday for the three boys who died as they went to a party on

1:04:02 > 1:04:06Friday night at the local football club. What we are hearing from

1:04:06 > 1:04:12police now is they are now looking for a second man who they believe

1:04:12 > 1:04:18was a passenger in the car. They believe they fled the scene. The

1:04:18 > 1:04:26police say there may have been more than two people in the Audi car, but

1:04:26 > 1:04:29they are not sure at the moment. They are definitely looking for a

1:04:29 > 1:04:33second man. A 28-year-old man has been arrested for suspicion of

1:04:33 > 1:04:38dangerous driving. We understand members of the public apprehended

1:04:38 > 1:04:46that men before police arrived. -- man. Just up the road there is a

1:04:46 > 1:04:49petrol station. We understand some witnesses have said some of the

1:04:49 > 1:04:54young boys' friends got into some kind of altercation, a fight, with

1:04:54 > 1:04:59the person who the police have arrested, and it was only after that

1:04:59 > 1:05:06that that man was apprehended. Police are calling for anyone who

1:05:06 > 1:05:11may have witnessed the crash to come forward.

1:05:11 > 1:05:14Thank you very much. Jon Donnison.

1:05:14 > 1:05:17Paris remains on high alert, with water levels continuing to rise

1:05:17 > 1:05:18along the River Seine.

1:05:18 > 1:05:22The country has seen some of the heaviest rain for a century,

1:05:22 > 1:05:25and the river is expected to rise six metres higher than normal.

1:05:25 > 1:05:27Luxmy Gopal reports.

1:05:27 > 1:05:28The swollen Seine, still rising.

1:05:28 > 1:05:30More than four metres above its usual level,

1:05:30 > 1:05:34it's expected to peak at six metres by the end of the weekend.

1:05:34 > 1:05:37On the outskirts of Paris, some residents have had to resort

1:05:37 > 1:05:39to travelling by boat through waterlogged streets.

1:05:39 > 1:05:42While in the city centre, the tourist boats are no longer

1:05:42 > 1:05:44operating, with only emergency services allowed along the Seine.

1:05:44 > 1:05:47The past month has been the third-wettest here since records

1:05:47 > 1:05:48began in 1900.

1:05:48 > 1:05:51The impact of recent heavy rains is visible in the water levels

1:06:11 > 1:06:12TRANSLATION:The flood is less significant,

1:06:12 > 1:06:16in terms of the volume of rising water, compared to that of June

1:06:16 > 1:06:182016, even if it remains substantial, because currently

1:06:18 > 1:06:21we are at 5.7 metres, and we should peak between 5.8

1:06:21 > 1:06:29and six metres maximum.

1:06:40 > 1:06:43The flooding has already left hundreds of people

1:06:43 > 1:06:45without electricity, and evacuated from their homes.

1:06:45 > 1:06:47Forecasters predict drier weather for the week ahead,

1:06:47 > 1:06:49but with much of the ground in northern France waterlogged,

1:06:49 > 1:06:52the return to normal will be a slow process.

1:06:54 > 1:06:57A close friend and political ally of President Trump has resigned

1:06:57 > 1:07:00as head of fundraising for the Republican Party

1:07:00 > 1:07:03after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him.

1:07:03 > 1:07:06Steve Wynn, a billionaire casino owner, was chosen by Mr Trump to be

1:07:06 > 1:07:08finance chairman of the Republican National Committee.

1:07:08 > 1:07:10He's alleged to have subjected dozens of women

1:07:10 > 1:07:11to unwanted sexual advances.

1:07:11 > 1:07:13Mr Wynn has described the claims published

1:07:13 > 1:07:20by the Wall Street Journal as preposterous.

1:07:20 > 1:07:23Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said he's not aware of any invitation

1:07:23 > 1:07:25to attend Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's wedding.

1:07:25 > 1:07:28In an ITV interview, the US President said the pair

1:07:28 > 1:07:35looked "like a lovely couple," but when asked if had received

1:07:35 > 1:07:37an invite he replied "Not that I know of."

1:07:37 > 1:07:40Ms Markle has previously called Mr Trump "divisive"

1:07:40 > 1:07:46and a "misogynist."

1:07:46 > 1:07:5016 and 17 year-olds in Wales are to be given the right to vote

1:07:50 > 1:07:53in local elections, under plans published by the Welsh government.

1:07:53 > 1:07:56If approved, Wales would follow Scotland, where the voting age has

1:07:56 > 1:07:58already been lowered for national and local elections.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01The Labour Party has called for the idea to be extended

1:08:01 > 1:08:03to the whole of the UK.

1:08:03 > 1:08:06The Westminster government says it has no plans to do so.

1:08:06 > 1:08:06Gavin Thomas reports.

1:08:06 > 1:08:09After years of struggle and campaigns by the Suffrage

1:08:09 > 1:08:11movement, 1918 was the year in which the Representation

1:08:11 > 1:08:13of the People Act was passed in Parliament.

1:08:13 > 1:08:17For the first time, voting was expanded to all men aged over 21

1:08:17 > 1:08:21and to some women aged over 30.

1:08:21 > 1:08:24Now, 100 years, on in Wales the Labour devolved government

1:08:24 > 1:08:27is planning to cut the voting age in local elections to 16.

1:08:27 > 1:08:30It follows the example of Scotland, where a similar change came

1:08:30 > 1:08:33into force in 2016.

1:08:33 > 1:08:35There it also applies to national elections.

1:08:35 > 1:08:37The local government minister in Cardiff Bay says

1:08:37 > 1:08:38the time is right.

1:08:38 > 1:08:41I think everyone who pays taxes should be able to vote,

1:08:41 > 1:08:45and that means people who are 17 and people who are 16 as well,

1:08:45 > 1:08:49so I would like to see us moving the franchise to be able to allow

1:08:49 > 1:08:51younger people to take part in the democratic process.

1:08:51 > 1:08:56The minister says he wants voting to become more attractive

1:08:56 > 1:08:59and welcoming and he's spoken of his concern that younger people

1:08:59 > 1:09:02are becoming disengaged from politics.

1:09:02 > 1:09:06I think it would be a good thing for us to be able to vote

1:09:06 > 1:09:10because we would be voting for our future, but at the same time

1:09:10 > 1:09:12I don't think we get educated enough about politics.

1:09:12 > 1:09:15I think we are educated enough and 16-year-olds

1:09:15 > 1:09:17because we use our social media, we see the parties...

1:09:17 > 1:09:25The advertisements they put out there.

1:09:25 > 1:09:28The Welsh government will formally announce the proposals on Tuesday.

1:09:28 > 1:09:34Gavin Thomas, BBC News.

1:09:34 > 1:09:37We asked the UK Government for a response and a spokesperson

1:09:37 > 1:09:41told us, "The age of 18, not 16, is widely recognised as the age

1:09:41 > 1:09:42at which one becomes an adult.

1:09:42 > 1:09:45The Government has no plans to lower the voting age."

1:09:45 > 1:09:47The former Northern Ireland Secretary and prominent Leave

1:09:47 > 1:09:50campaigner Theresa Villiers has said she fears the UK is heading

1:09:50 > 1:09:51towards a dilution of Brexit.

1:09:51 > 1:09:54Writing in the Sunday Telegraph, she says there's a real danger

1:09:54 > 1:09:58the UK will sign up to deal which would keep us in the EU

1:09:58 > 1:09:59in all but name.

1:09:59 > 1:10:02A Downing Street spokesperson said the government is committed

1:10:02 > 1:10:05to delivering Brexit and a deep and special future partnership

1:10:05 > 1:10:08with the EU.

1:10:08 > 1:10:10Parking companies which use unfair practices are to be banned

1:10:10 > 1:10:12from accessing motorists' details and issuing fines.

1:10:12 > 1:10:14The government has confirmed it's to introduce legislation

1:10:14 > 1:10:17to try to improve standards among parking firms in England.

1:10:17 > 1:10:20Ministers say they want to put an end to inconsistent rules,

1:10:20 > 1:10:28poor signage, intimidating letters and a confusing appeals process.

1:10:29 > 1:10:32A mural believed to be by the artist Banksy should be removed

1:10:32 > 1:10:35from a disused Hull bridge, a local councillor has claimed.

1:10:35 > 1:10:38Images of the artwork were shared on Banksy's official social media

1:10:38 > 1:10:41page on Friday, appearing to confirm that it is,

1:10:41 > 1:10:42in fact, his own work.

1:10:42 > 1:10:45Conservative councillor John Abbott said it did not compare with real

1:10:45 > 1:10:46art in the city gallery.

1:10:46 > 1:10:49However, many of the local residents who gathered to see

1:10:49 > 1:10:54the mural disagreed.

1:10:54 > 1:10:58For me personally the culture that I grew up in, it's a dream really,

1:10:58 > 1:10:59a dream come true.

1:10:59 > 1:11:00It's really good.

1:11:00 > 1:11:01Fantastic.

1:11:01 > 1:11:05I also like the way that the writing in it is like writing

1:11:05 > 1:11:08on a chalkboard or in a school when you look back on things.

1:11:08 > 1:11:12Like the shoes, I think they've got a nice pair of shoes on.

1:11:12 > 1:11:15You got to have a nice pair of shoes on, don't you,

1:11:15 > 1:11:19Rosie?

1:11:19 > 1:11:22Did you see the little one in the background getting her picture

1:11:22 > 1:11:30taken?They put up something to protect it.People have stolen bits

1:11:30 > 1:11:34of plaster.

1:11:34 > 1:11:38They've been some of the most powerful images of the week.

1:11:38 > 1:11:41156 women standing up one by one in a Michigan courtroom,

1:11:41 > 1:11:43sharing their stories of abuse.

1:11:43 > 1:11:46They were speaking at the sentencing of Larry Nassar, a former US

1:11:46 > 1:11:49gymnastics doctor who's been jailed for 175 years for sexually

1:11:49 > 1:11:50abusing young athletes.

1:11:50 > 1:11:53The judge in the case said she wanted to give every woman

1:11:53 > 1:11:55affected the chance to speak out.

1:11:55 > 1:12:00Let's hear some of what they had to say.

1:12:00 > 1:12:05I will always love gymnastics, but I will never be able to look at the

1:12:05 > 1:12:10sport the same because of you. And as I looked to the future, I plan to

1:12:10 > 1:12:15pursue a career in criminal justice. I am hoping that by working to put

1:12:15 > 1:12:21monsters like UAE I might be able to stop the nightmares and start

1:12:21 > 1:12:26healing.-- you away. It is a court full of women with deep wounds.

1:12:26 > 1:12:30Women are banding together to fight for themselves because no one else

1:12:30 > 1:12:35would do it. They will carry scars that will never fully heal. You have

1:12:35 > 1:12:44made the choice to play the guilt and shame on them.He molested me at

1:12:44 > 1:12:51the 2012 London Olympic Games. Your time is up, abusers. The survivors

1:12:51 > 1:12:56are here, standing tall, and we are not going anywhere.Your decision to

1:12:56 > 1:13:06assault was precise, calculated, many pillars of, devious,

1:13:06 > 1:13:15despicable. -- manipulative.I would not send my dogs to you, sir.You do

1:13:15 > 1:13:19not deserve to walk outside a prison ever again.

1:13:19 > 1:13:22Lydia Ward is a survivor of sexual abuse, who is a trustee

1:13:22 > 1:13:26of the charity, Safeline.

1:13:26 > 1:13:31Good morning.Good morning.I don't know if you could hear all of that,

1:13:31 > 1:13:35but we have seen a lot in the media in the last week. What is your

1:13:35 > 1:13:41reaction?I think the sentencing is hugely appropriate. I think it is a

1:13:41 > 1:13:44massive step forward. The way it has been conducted seems to be

1:13:44 > 1:13:49revolutionary in some ways, the fact that all of these people were able

1:13:49 > 1:13:54to give a statement, saying how they feel. It is different to what I have

1:13:54 > 1:13:59certainly heard of before. I think there is just a huge change in how

1:13:59 > 1:14:02people are feeling about talking about sexual abuse now, the fact

1:14:02 > 1:14:08that it is not such a taboo, it is not awkward, how do we deal with it

1:14:08 > 1:14:17let's not bother.And perhaps making it clear to other survivors of

1:14:17 > 1:14:22sexual abuse they can speak up about this. Your experience, tell us about

1:14:22 > 1:14:32that, reading about that, it should not be a secret, private, good why

1:14:32 > 1:14:44talk to. Hopefully this helps that. -- who do I talk to? We have to call

1:14:44 > 1:14:49these people survivors. They are not victims. This is about moving

1:14:49 > 1:14:54forward and reclaiming the power taken from you when you are abused.

1:14:54 > 1:14:59What happened to you?I was initially first abused by a close

1:14:59 > 1:15:05family friend, someone my parents completely trusted and never

1:15:05 > 1:15:11expected to be like this, as is the case. I am from a very nice

1:15:11 > 1:15:16background. It is that kind of situation. I was left with someone

1:15:16 > 1:15:21sporadically to be looked after by. That person sexually abused me

1:15:21 > 1:15:29between the

1:15:29 > 1:15:32between the ages of three and seven. I dealt with it by telling them I

1:15:32 > 1:15:40did not want to be left with them. I was questioned.

1:15:40 > 1:15:45I didn't say anything. At that age you know something is not right you

1:15:45 > 1:15:50are told it is a secret, we are always told that you should never

1:15:50 > 1:15:54share a secret, and again it gets back to language. Nowadays I always

1:15:54 > 1:15:59talk about happy surprises. You can have a happy surprise, surprise

1:15:59 > 1:16:03means it has an end date and when that person finds out they will be

1:16:03 > 1:16:06happy about it, but you don't have secrets. And that is a really

1:16:06 > 1:16:12important thing. And again, for me, I was abused again by different

1:16:12 > 1:16:16person, and again, another trusted family friend, at the age of I think

1:16:16 > 1:16:20it was about 12 or 13. It probably sounds a bit strange that I am vague

1:16:20 > 1:16:25on it, but your brain keeps these things from you. I was 16 when I

1:16:25 > 1:16:30first started having flashbacks and suddenly went, like, goodness me,

1:16:30 > 1:16:33did that really happen? And then I went through a huge process of

1:16:33 > 1:16:38trying to come to terms with it, and trying to push it back away. And do

1:16:38 > 1:16:43I ever say anything? I was 30 when I first told my parents, and they were

1:16:43 > 1:16:46the last people I ever wanted to have to tell, because you don't want

1:16:46 > 1:16:51to have to explain to them that this happened under their watch, as it

1:16:51 > 1:16:57were, because you don't want them to feel blame or guilt. My parents were

1:16:57 > 1:17:01devastated when they found out. And I am one of the lucky ones, not

1:17:01 > 1:17:05everyone has that experience.You talk a lot about surviving being

1:17:05 > 1:17:09about power and control, and getting to the point when you can confront

1:17:09 > 1:17:13what has happened to you but you take back that control. What was it

1:17:13 > 1:17:17for you that got you to that position, where you said I can deal

1:17:17 > 1:17:24with this?I was very fortunate that I found a charity called Safe Line,

1:17:24 > 1:17:29and they specialise in helping survivors of sexual abuse. And it

1:17:29 > 1:17:33really got to the point when I was like, I really need to get into the

1:17:33 > 1:17:38detail of this, and that is what that charity enabled me to do.In

1:17:38 > 1:17:42this case, how important is it that survivors waive their rights of

1:17:42 > 1:17:46anonymity?I think it is tremendous when people feel able to do that. I

1:17:46 > 1:17:50don't think there should be pressure on other survivors to have to do it,

1:17:50 > 1:17:54but the more of us that feel we have the support network around us to be

1:17:54 > 1:17:59able to do it, the more we can close the to-do lists. If people feel able

1:17:59 > 1:18:09to, it is a tremendous thing to do. You so much. -- thank you so much.

1:18:09 > 1:18:14Here is Susan with a look at this morning's weather.

1:18:14 > 1:18:15Already

1:18:15 > 1:18:18Already outside temperatures around ten or 11 degrees across the

1:18:18 > 1:18:21majority of the British Isles. Mild air pushing across us today, and

1:18:21 > 1:18:25obviously it has a long way to travel across that water. It has

1:18:25 > 1:18:29picked up 20 of moisture and that has manifested itself in the form of

1:18:29 > 1:18:33cloud. So it will feel pretty springlike if you are heading out

1:18:33 > 1:18:36today but it will look pretty grey and gloomy for many of us. There

1:18:36 > 1:18:40could be a little bit of early brightness across the far east of

1:18:40 > 1:18:44England. It has been a bit clearer here overnight in the wind will be a

1:18:44 > 1:18:48bit gusty, so that might help to turn the cloud over in some areas,

1:18:48 > 1:18:52break it up a bit and let the sun through. Then temperatures really

1:18:52 > 1:18:55will shoot up. Stuck with the cloud today will be central and southern

1:18:55 > 1:19:01Scotland. Here, the dividing line between the very mild air of the

1:19:01 > 1:19:04North Neighbourhood northern British Isles and the colder air effect in

1:19:04 > 1:19:08the far north of Scotland. Northern Ireland should become somewhat dry

1:19:08 > 1:19:11through the afternoon. Some drizzly rain across the hills the northern

1:19:11 > 1:19:16part of Wales in the south-west, but to the east of the Wash Mountains,

1:19:16 > 1:19:21if the sun comes out we could see highs up to 15 Celsius. So it is a

1:19:21 > 1:19:25mild story this evening, but then we will move back to our weather front

1:19:25 > 1:19:30in the north starting to sink its way south overnight. Mild air to the

1:19:30 > 1:19:34south with the colder air to the north, and that will be a change

1:19:34 > 1:19:37from Monday. Monday morning starts quite chilly across Scotland, with

1:19:37 > 1:19:40patchy frost, rain first thing across northern England and Northern

1:19:40 > 1:19:45Ireland. Through the day on Monday, the colder air along with a weather

1:19:45 > 1:19:48front will target is where further south across the British Isles. So

1:19:48 > 1:19:52tomorrow will be a change in terms of the wave is feel, and for some,

1:19:52 > 1:19:57on a positive note, the way things look. Once the weather front sinks

1:19:57 > 1:20:00further south we will bring in cooler but brighter conditions.

1:20:00 > 1:20:03Sunshine tomorrow for Northern Ireland, and improving story in the

1:20:03 > 1:20:07afternoon for northern England as well. Sunshine and showers for

1:20:07 > 1:20:10Scotland. Further south it could take into the afternoon to see

1:20:10 > 1:20:14brightness in England and Wales, southernmost counties with thicker

1:20:14 > 1:20:20cloud and more rain. Still double figures here, but those clear skies

1:20:20 > 1:20:24become quite widespread overnight into Tuesday. So we could have a

1:20:24 > 1:20:28frost first thing on Tuesday after this really mild start today. Some

1:20:28 > 1:20:32quite big contrast in a short space of time. Decent sunshine first thing

1:20:32 > 1:20:36on Tuesday, more cloud as the day pans out and began the threat of the

1:20:36 > 1:20:39more persistent rain for the far north-west of Scotland.Thank you

1:20:39 > 1:20:42very much.

1:20:42 > 1:20:48north-west of Scotland.Thank you very much.The secrets of TV, some

1:20:48 > 1:20:53things should be kept a secret!We will carry on stapling.

1:20:53 > 1:20:57The Andrew Marr Programme is on BBC One this morning at 9:00am.

1:20:57 > 1:20:59Andrew, what have you got coming up?

1:20:59 > 1:21:02Well, my main interview today is Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, looking

1:21:02 > 1:21:11forward to that very much. I am also talking to David Liddington, who is

1:21:11 > 1:21:16in effect Theresa May's number two. And talking through gritted teeth, I

1:21:16 > 1:21:20will be talking to Piers Morgan, who got the great Donald Trump

1:21:20 > 1:21:31interview. So Theresa May, Piers Morgan, David Liddington, all on

1:21:31 > 1:21:34after nine a.m..Thank you very much.

1:21:34 > 1:21:36You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.

1:21:36 > 1:21:41Time now for a look at the newspapers.

1:21:41 > 1:21:47TV critic Emma Bullimore is here to tell us what has

1:21:47 > 1:21:53caught her eye.

1:21:53 > 1:22:00We saw Andrew saying he will be talking to Piers Morgan. Piers

1:22:00 > 1:22:06Morgan has interviewed Donald Trump in Davos as part of the World

1:22:06 > 1:22:10Economic Forum, and this interview is airing tonight on ITV, and has

1:22:10 > 1:22:15been picked up by a lot of the press.Whatever your feelings about

1:22:15 > 1:22:18Piers Morgan and Donald Trump is likely to be the most watched TV

1:22:18 > 1:22:23event of the year so far, you will not be able to stay away. He is

1:22:23 > 1:22:27covering all sorts of different topics. Harry and Meghan's wedding,

1:22:27 > 1:22:33he hasn't been invited, and he says he doesn't want to be drawn into

1:22:33 > 1:22:37that. He is happy to be drawn into other things. He says on Brexit

1:22:37 > 1:22:43Theresa May should have been tougher, he doesn't say how, but

1:22:43 > 1:22:47that is what he says, and Piers is delighted with himself, obviously.

1:22:47 > 1:22:53Did they actually touch on the real issues? There has been so much

1:22:53 > 1:22:56criticism of his presidency, one-year-old, do they get down to

1:22:56 > 1:23:00the nitty-gritty of its?All the stuff that is in the press is about

1:23:00 > 1:23:04the fact he tweets in bed, the wedding, obviously, his views on

1:23:04 > 1:23:08elephant hunting and imports, that sort of thing. But there is not that

1:23:08 > 1:23:12much about the wall and it is difficult to tell. When you are

1:23:12 > 1:23:15granted an interview with someone, there are often terms which are laid

1:23:15 > 1:23:19out which no one sees about what you are allowed to talk about and are

1:23:19 > 1:23:23not, and it remains to be seen how much we will get into that stuff.

1:23:23 > 1:23:29They have gone for headline grabbing stuff at the moment at I hope there

1:23:29 > 1:23:33is a bit more substance to it.One of the big television events of the

1:23:33 > 1:23:37year. We have been talking about survivors in this rape case and

1:23:37 > 1:23:41sexual abuse case in the United States, and it has shone a light

1:23:41 > 1:23:44again on women standing up in refusing to be cowed by abuse or

1:23:44 > 1:23:52misogyny. And you have picked up this story, the White Rose protest

1:23:52 > 1:23:56at the Grammys.So obviously they have had the Golden Globes, and

1:23:56 > 1:24:01actresses wore black on the red carpet. It was a nice protest, but

1:24:01 > 1:24:06sometimes it feels like women are being subdued by wearing black, by

1:24:06 > 1:24:09admitting themselves. So for the Grammys they are going for something

1:24:09 > 1:24:15different. Roses being beautiful anyway but white being a suffragette

1:24:15 > 1:24:19colour, and for the Grammys they were never going to wear black

1:24:19 > 1:24:24dresses. This has caused a problem because florists were not expecting

1:24:24 > 1:24:28this demand for white roses and they are scrambling to try and get them.

1:24:28 > 1:24:32But it is great they are coming out in solidarity for this. It will be

1:24:32 > 1:24:37one of the few music events where Ed Sheeran will not sweep the board, he

1:24:37 > 1:24:41has not been nominated in the major categories.Let's talk about a

1:24:41 > 1:24:45clinic to help people with what they call an online addiction, actually

1:24:45 > 1:24:51an addiction to pills being bought online, so people who are

1:24:51 > 1:24:58self-medicating.Yes, so before this might have involved standing on a

1:24:58 > 1:25:01street corner and lots of people being too scared to do this. Now on

1:25:01 > 1:25:05the internets, people are ordering these pills online in masses, so

1:25:05 > 1:25:12much so that a new clinic has been opened in London, it is free on the

1:25:12 > 1:25:18NHS, and it sells things like Xanax, the antianxiety drug being used

1:25:18 > 1:25:21medically and recreationally as well, and it is a huge ticking time

1:25:21 > 1:25:26bomb, so it is good they are doing something about it now.You have

1:25:26 > 1:25:32picked up a story, finally, from the Mail on Sunday. This is something

1:25:32 > 1:25:36that we hear so often about, that animals used in the police force, in

1:25:36 > 1:25:43the military as well, and often front-line victims have been

1:25:43 > 1:25:48attacked as well.Well, this is a beautiful police dog, Finn, and he

1:25:48 > 1:25:51was a bit of a social media sensation because he protect that

1:25:51 > 1:25:55his police officer and got stabbed, and his injuries were almost fatal.

1:25:55 > 1:26:00He is OK, but the fact is, still, even though they are pushing for

1:26:00 > 1:26:04this thing called Finn's law, an attack on him is treated as

1:26:04 > 1:26:07committal damage, the same as smashing a window, because he is

1:26:07 > 1:26:11seen as property. And in a nation of animal lovers this seems ridiculous.

1:26:11 > 1:26:19So he is PC is pushing -- his PC is pushing harder and harder to try and

1:26:19 > 1:26:23change that. The guy who did this attack, four months he got for

1:26:23 > 1:26:26attacking the dog, he did get a separate sentence for attacking a

1:26:26 > 1:26:31police officer.In the law needs to change to keep up with the way a

1:26:31 > 1:26:35modern policing works, and dogs are increasingly used in modern policing

1:26:35 > 1:26:41because they can go places where police officers cannot.And we are a

1:26:41 > 1:26:44nation of animal lovers, a story like this pulls everyone's

1:26:44 > 1:26:48heartstrings, and surely a nation like this would want proper

1:26:48 > 1:26:52sentencing.And what you get out of these stories as well is the

1:26:52 > 1:26:55relationship between the handler and the dog as well, and they always

1:26:55 > 1:27:00become part of the story.The story is incredible, because David was

1:27:00 > 1:27:04saying he just saw red when he saw his dog was being attacked, and the

1:27:04 > 1:27:07dog would not give up, he was desperate to attacking zone at all

1:27:07 > 1:27:14cost. It is a beautiful -- desperate to protect his own at all costs. It

1:27:14 > 1:27:20is a beautiful relationship.

1:27:20 > 1:27:23We are here on the BBC News Channel until 9:00am this morning,

1:27:23 > 1:27:27and coming up in the next hour: Find out why sinkholes are appearing

1:27:27 > 1:27:29at one of Israel's biggest tourist attractions,

1:27:29 > 1:27:31the Dead Sea.

1:27:31 > 1:27:34We will meet the patient taking part in a pioneering new treatment

1:27:34 > 1:27:36for brain tumours, where a virus is injected

1:27:36 > 1:27:43directly his bloodstream.

1:27:43 > 1:27:45As the world of darts says goodbye to walk-on girls,

1:27:45 > 1:27:53we will ask if it is a practice that other sports should scrap, too.

1:28:01 > 1:28:05There has been a lot of discussion of that in Formula One as well, and

1:28:05 > 1:28:11lots of sports where women have been employed to highlight the trophies

1:28:11 > 1:28:15and the glamour of it all.And when you see pictures like that, it seems

1:28:15 > 1:28:20like something that belongs to another era.Well, we say that, at

1:28:20 > 1:28:25one speaker we will talk to made the point that women have a choice to be

1:28:25 > 1:28:29involved in these things. It is all very controversial, but we will talk

1:28:29 > 1:28:30about it anyway.

1:28:30 > 1:28:34All that to come on the BBC News Channel.
