28/01/2018 Breakfast

Hello, this is Breakfast

with Naga Munchetty and Ben

Thompson.

Police hunt a man thought

to have fled the scene

of a horrific crash in west London

that killed three teenage boys.

The three victims have been named

locally as Josh Kennedy,

Harry Rice and George Wilkinson.

A 28-year-old man has been arrested.

Good morning, it's Sunday

the 28th of January.

Also this morning:

Paris is on flood

alert as water levels continue

to rise along the River Seine.

16 and 17-year-olds in Wales

could get the right to vote in local

elections as part of new plans

to keep them interested

in politics.

And in sport, England are aiming

to finish their one-day series

with Australia in style.

And in the FA Cup, there's VAR

controversy, plus League Two side

Newport County earn a Wembley replay

against Premier League

giants Tottenham.

For me personally the culture that I

grew up in, it's a dream release, a

dream come true.

The artwork by Banksy that's

appeared on a bridge in Hull,

and why one councillor thinks it

should be cleaned up.

And Susan has the weather.

Good morning. A lot of cloud across

the British Isles today. Fingers

crossed they will be a few breaks

this afternoon. On a positive note,

a very mild day, temperatures maybe

even reaching the mid-teens.

Thanks.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Police are hunting for a man

who is believed to have fled

the scene after a crash that killed

three teenage boys at a bus stop

in west London.

A 28-year-old man was

arrested on Friday night

on suspicion of causing death

by dangerous driving after a car

mounted the pavement in Hayes.

The three victims have been named

locally as Josh Kennedy,

Harry Rice and George Wilkinson.

Jon Donnison reports.

Three teenage friends on their way

to a Friday night party. Their lives

cut short.

They've been named locally as Josh

Kennedy, George Wilkinson and Harry

Rice.

He'd been a promising footballer

with Farnborough FC. Our thoughts

are with Harry's family and friends

at this sad time, the club posted on

social media. Yesterday at the scene

of the crash the community gathered

to pay their respects and offer an

impromptu tribute. They were killed

when they were hit by this black

Audi as it reared up onto the

pavement at speed. A 28-year-old man

has been arrested on suspicion of

causing death by dangerous driving.

Police are looking for a second man

they believe was in the car who fled

the scene. They're appealing for

witnesses.

There was a bus driver in

front of us and he came over and

said, oh, yes, there's someone dead

in the road and at that point I

relate that to 999 and within five

minutes an ambulance arrived.

But

officers say all three boys died at

the scene. They're appealing for

anyone with any information to come

forward. Jon Donnison, BBC News.

Jon Donnison is at the scene

in Hayes for us now.

Good morning. What more do we know

about what's happened as this

picture is put together?

A terrible

story in Hayes. You can see behind

me the number of floral tributes

that have been left since the three

boys died on Friday night as they

headed to a friend's birthday party

at a local football club. What we do

understand from police is that the

man who's been arrested, this

28-year-old man, was actually

apprehended by members of the public

possibly by friends of these three

young men. We understand at a petrol

station a few minutes up the road

there was some sort of altercation

following this crash that possibly

the man who was arrested was

actually set upon by a group of

young boys. That is one thing police

are going to be looking into. As we

heard in that report, there are also

interested to track down another man

who they believe was also in the

car, possibly with a number of other

people, they believe this man may

have fled the scene. They're

appealing for anyone who may have

been driving along this busy road on

Friday night or on this footpath

here who might have seen anything to

come forward. Jon, for the moment,

thank you.

Paris remains on high alert,

with water levels continuing to rise

along the River Seine.

The country has seen some

of the heaviest rain for a century,

and the river is expected to rise

six metres higher than normal.

Luxmy Gopal reports.

The swollen Seine, still rising.

More than four metres

above its usual level,

it's expected to peak at six metres

by the end of the weekend.

On the outskirts of Paris,

some residents have had to resort

to travelling by boat

through waterlogged streets,

while in the city centre,

the tourist boats are no longer

operating, with only emergency

services allowed along the Seine.

The past month has been

the third-wettest here since records

began in 1900.

The impact of recent heavy rains

is visible in the water levels

lapping this statue of a Crimean War

soldier, known as the Zouave,

Paris's traditional way of measuring

the height of the river.

The French authorities

have been on high alert,

and at a flood crisis meeting,

the Mayor of Paris tried to reassure

residents, saying the current

situation isn't as bad as that

of 18 months ago.

TRANSLATION:

The flood

is less significant,

in terms of the volume of rising

water, compared to that of June

2016, even if it remains

substantial, because currently

we are at 5.7 metres,

and we should peak between 5.8

and six metres maximum.

The flooding has already

left hundreds of people

without electricity,

and evacuated from their homes.

Forecasters predict drier

weather for the week ahead,

but with much of the ground

in northern France waterlogged,

the return to normal

will be a slow process.

A close friend and political ally

of President Trump has resigned

as head of fundraising

for the Republican Party

after accusations that he sexually

harassed women who worked for him.

Steve Wynn, a billionaire

casino owner,

was chosen by Mr Trump to be finance

chairman of the Republican National

Committee.

He's alleged to have

subjected dozens of women

to unwanted sexual advances.

Mr Wynn has described the claims

published by the Wall Street Journal

as preposterous.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has said

he's not aware of any invitation

to attend Prince Harry

and Meghan Markle's wedding.

In an ITV interview,

the US President said the pair

looked like a lovely couple,

but when asked if had received

an invite he replied,

"Not that I know of."

Ms Markle has previously

called Mr Trump divisive

and a misogynist.

The Taliban has claimed

responsibility for a sucide bombing

in Kabul yesterday that killed 95

people and left around 150 wounded.

The attackers blew up

an ambulance full of explosives

close to foreign embassies

and the police headquarters.

It's the second major attack

in the Afghan capital in a week.

Our Kabul correspondent

Zia Shahreyar can tell us more.

Bring us up to date with what's

happened. We're getting a picture

now of the death toll, but what more

do we know about the attack?

Ben, Kabul experienced one of its

deadliest days yesterday for the

last 15 years since the US invasion

of Afghanistan. Hundreds of people

killed and injured. So far the death

of 95 people has been confirmed and

more than 160 people have been

injured. Hospitals throughout the

night last night were flooded with

injured people. One hospital,

emergency hospital, announced they

had received 130 injured people and

it was absolutely out of their

capacity to tackle this situation.

The head of the hospital announced

it is a real massacre in Kabul. The

attack has had Ilott of reactions,

international and domestic, in

Afghanistan -- a lot of. Donald

Trump has called it cruel and

unacceptable and has asked board

Depay don't mind against the Taliban

and their supporters -- has asked

for decisive action against.

16 and 17 year-olds in Wales

are to be given the right to vote

in local elections, under plans

published by the Welsh government.

If approved, Wales would follow

Scotland, where the voting age has

already been lowered for national

and local elections.

The Labour Party has called

for the idea to be extended

to the whole of the UK.

Gavin Thomas reports.

After years of struggle and

campaigns by the suffrage movement,

1918 was the year in which the

representation of the people act was

passed in Parliament. For the first

time voting was expanded to all men

aged over 21 and to some women aged

over 30. Now 100 years on in Wales

the labour devolved government is

planning to cut the voting age in

local elections to 16. It follows

the example of Scotland where a

similar change came into force in

2016. They're it also applies to

national elections. The local

government minister in Cardiff Bay

says the time is right.

I think

everyone who pays taxes should be

able to vote and that means people

who are 17 and people who are 16 as

well so I would like to see us

moving the franchise to be able to

allow younger people to take part in

the democratic process.

The Minister

says he wants boating to become more

attractive and welcoming and he's

spoken of his concern that younger

people are becoming disengaged from

politics.

I think it would be a good

thing for us to be able to vote

because we would be voting for our

future but at the same time I don't

think we get educated enough about

politics.

I think we are educated

enough and 16 -year-olds because we

use our social media, we see the

parties... The advertise meant they

put out there.

The Welsh government will formally

announce the proposals on Tuesday.

Gavin Thomas, BBC News.

We asked the UK Government

for a response and a spokesperson

told us, "The age of 18, not 16,

is widely recognised as the age

at which one becomes an adult.

The Government has no plans

to lower the voting age."

The former Northern Ireland

Secretary and prominent Leave

campaigner Theresa Villiers has said

she fears the UK is heading

towards a dilution of Brexit.

Writing in the Sunday Telegraph,

she says there's a real

danger the UK will sign up to deal

which would keep us in the EU

in all but name.

A Downing Street spokesperson said

the government is committed

to delivering Brexit and a deep

and special future partnership

with the EU.

Parking companies which use unfair

practices are to be banned

from accessing motorists'

details and issuing fines.

The government has

confirmed it's to introduce

legislation to try to improve

standards among parking

firms in England.

Ministers say they want to put

an end to inconsistent rules,

poor signage, intimidating letters

and a confusing appeals process.

A mural believed to be by the artist

Banksy should be removed

from a disused Hull bridge,

a local councillor has claimed.

Images of the artwork were shared

on Banksy's official

social media page on Friday,

appearing to confirm that it is,

in fact, his own work.

Conservative councillor John Abbott

said it did not compare with real

art in the city gallery.

However, many of the local

residents who gathered to see

the mural disagreed.

For me personally the culture that I

grew up in, it's a dream really, a

dream come true.

It's really good.

Fantastic.

I also

liked the way that the writing in it

is like writing on a chalkboard or

in a school when you look back on

things.

Like the shoes, I think

they've got a nice pair of shoes on.

You got to have a nice pair of shoes

on, don't you, Rosie?

The front page of the Daily Express,

rescue firms will no longer be

allowed to use the DVLA database to

hunt down innocent drivers. They

will be banned from issuing tickets

under a new government crackdown.

The front of the Sunday Times, the

story here, Tories in turmoil, but

if you look at the details it says

former Cabinet ministers have been

exposed attempting to profit from

what they call a new Brexit gravy

train, an undercover investigation

in the times. Megan changes the

script to speak at her own wedding

in a break from normal royal

protocol. Meghan Markle will address

people at her wedding, she is

planning an affectionate tribute.

The Sun on Sunday saying there's a

story about Jimmy Carter, saying he

made hostesses at the Presidents

club badge feel uncomfortable --

Jimmy Carr. The Sunday Mirror is

taking a look at a story surrounding

Nick Knowles, the TV presenter has

denied accusations of abusing his

wife.

Two stories on the front of the

Observer, top academies have

concerns about how much cash and

funding may still have left.

Staffing levels are dangerously low

and concern over pay exists. They

say the pressure will put more

questions over leadership of Theresa

May in place. The Prime Minister

told raise your game in three months

or face revolt. It says there are

concerns she is leading the party

towards destruction.

The main stories this morning:

Police are looking for a man

who is thought to have fled

the scene of a crash that killed

three teenage boys in London.

Residents in Paris are on high

alert, as the swollen River Seine

is expected to rise to six

metres higher than usual.

Still to come on Breakfast:

The Click team is in

the Silicon Valley, meeting

the researchers who are trying

to put human life on pause.

Here is Susan with a look

at this morning's weather.

Here is Susan with a look

at this morning's weather.

A bit cold and misty outside.

Good

morning. Actually, today is going to

turn out to be rather warm I think

for this time of year. It could even

turn out to be the warmest day of

the year so far. That is not saying

much because it is only 28 January

but very mild air is coming across

all the way from the Atlantic at the

moment. In many spots, already

temperatures in double figures. When

we do pull that air in from the

Atlantic, we pull off a lot of the

moisture from the ocean, and

basically that falls into cloud and

that is what we are stuck under the

day. So not a particularly

springlike looking day, but I think

it could feel quite pleasant if you

are out and about. A pretty windy

day and we have a band of rain to

the north which will affect Northern

Ireland through the morning and

further north in the Scotland for

the afternoon. For parts of western

Scotland, Argyll & Bute, the western

highlands, some quite significant

rainfall totals before we are

through. Always a bit more scant in

the east. By that Armageddon to

Northern Ireland a dry story for the

afternoon. Some rain as far south as

the northern Pennines. Further south

a lot of cloud around, misty and

murky across the hills. But with the

help of the wind, which could be

quite gusty, we turn that cloud over

a little bit and temperatures could

shoot up to 14 or 15 degrees.

Overnight tonight, some changes,

however. This weather front we can

see in the north will start to move

its way south across the British

Isles. I don't know if you remember

what was to the north of that it was

colder air. For Scotland first thing

on Monday a chilly start, patchy

frost and a few showers. That called

a rare will start to targets where

further south across the British

Isles on Monday as the weather front

died south as well. A spell of rain

on the way for England and Wales.

For Scotland and Northern Ireland,

clearing skies. We should see more

on the way of sunshine. It will be a

chance of some showers but the most

notable thing will be a chilly feel

to the day. Across the northern half

of the British Isles on Monday, a

weather front bringing rain into the

middle part of England and Wales,

clearing the South Coast as we get

towards the evening. Still pretty

mild the southernmost counties but

further north definitely a chilly

field to proceedings on Monday, and

with those clearer skies overnight

Monday into Tuesday, we could be

looking at a widespread frost. So we

are mild at the moment but keep that

scraper ready because I think we

could be scraping the car again come

Tuesday morning.

Thank you very

much, Susan. Those temperatures are

remarkable.

Now on Breakfast it is time

for The Film Review,

with Jane Hill and Mark Kermode.

with Jane Hill and Mark Kermode.

Hello and a very warm welcome

to The Film Review on BBC News.

To take us through this

week's cinema releases

is Mark Kermode as ever.

So Mark, what do we have this week?

Interesting week.

We've got Downsizing.

The new movie from Alexander Payne.

Earlyman, the latest offering

from Aardman Animations,

always a treat.

And Last Flag Flying,

the not quite sequel to The Last

Detail.

It looks intriguing,

your first choice, that's

what I would say.

Intriguing is exactly the word.

This is something a bit different.

The best way to describe

it is it takes riffs

from The Incredible Shrinking Man

and Innerspace and combines it

with a bit of inconvenient truth

and the American satire Spanglish.

Really...

OK.

The story is the earth's resources

have been depleted and process has

been discovered to shrink people

down to five inches.

You can save the planet,

you become and use less resources.

You produce less

stuff to dispose of.

Everyone has agreed

it is a good idea.

But the reason people are doing

it is because the lifestyle you get

offered if you agree to become small

is more extravagant than you can get

in the big world.

Here's a clip.

So the decision...

Downsizing takes pressure off,

especially money pressure.

It must be a good to know

you are making a difference.

All that crap about

saving the planet?

Yes.

Downsizing is about saving yourself.

We live like kings.

I'm still in the same house I grew

up in, Audrey is dying to move,

but we are strapped.

A lot of small communities

are cropping up.

Don't mess around.

You get the best houses,

best appliances, best doctors,

the great restaurants.

The kids love Cheesecake Factory.

We've got three of them.

Can you back up a little?

There might be too much

garlic in the sauce.

It is an interesting setup and it

looks like the beginning

of a great movie.

Then Matt Damon's character decides

he is going to downsize

and when he does, he discovers he's

isolated, alone and discontent

like he was in the bigger

world, but only smaller.

Then the film loses its direction.

For a start, once you get

into the small community there's

very little of interacting

with the large one.

Most movies dealing

with the miniaturisation

have them interacting.

Here you can forget that

you are in the small world,

which is the point.

More troublesome is the fact it has

a number of threads it is trying

to deal with, the eco-crisis,

the personal crisis,

the commentary on consumerism,

staff about general middle-aged

malaise, and somehow those elements

don't only not come together,

they start completely fracturing.

The film is not short.

It is two and a quarter hours long

and it could have done with some

downsizing in its

running time, frankly.

After the initial setup and promise,

after what looked like being a good

use of a science fiction

premise, it falls apart.

It's a shame because there

are lots of interesting ideas

and it's always good to see

a director aiming big even if it

does not come together.

But I have to say there was a good

half of it I find frustrating.

Having given you all these ideas,

it then does not know

what to do with them.

It does not know whether it wants

to be funny, satirical,

sombre about the fate of the planet

or whether it wants to concentrate

on a marriage falling apart.

It ends up not

satisfying any of them.

Unfortunately, it is terribly

unsatisfying, despite the fact it

starts so well.

Very disappointing.

I was a big fan of Sideways.

Me, too.

And I am a very big fan

of Wallace and Gromit.

And no disappointment for Earlyman.

A Stone Age clanis driven out

of its valley by the arrival

of Lord Knuth who says the Stone Age

is over and long live

the age of bronze.

What then happens is the young hero,

Dug, agrees to have a football match

for ownership of the valley.

It turns out that way

back in his heritage,

football is deep in his genes.

However, all his tribesmen

can't play football,

so they have to recruit a young

woman to teach them to get

the match ready.

Firstly, the visuals are incredible.

They use some computer graphics

to get a sense of stadium size,

but all the primary animation

has that Aardman feel,

it is physical, and I can see

you looking at these images.

It is fantastic.

It is wonderful.

And it is properly funny.

It has great slapstick jokes that

referred to Harold Lloyd and Buster

Keaton.

There is a homage at the very

beginning, but it is also not

about straightforward end

of the pier, innuendo humour.

I started laughing right

from the very beginning.

I never lost it, I laughed

all the way through.

In the screening there was only me

and one other person.

I became embarrassed by how

much I was laughing.

Were they enjoying it too?

They were enjoying it

but not as much as I was.

You see so many comedies

with insufficient laughter.

All the way through this I chuckled

and I was delighted by the visuals.

The story was charming.

And I can go on my own,

I don't need to find a child?

Everybody understands it.

They make genuine family films

for people of all ages.

I would happily go back

and see it again, not least

because they were so many fleeting

sight gags that I did not catch

the first time round.

I want to see it again.

I love Nick Park,

he does a great job.

A genius.

Your third choice?

Last Flag Flying.

It is adapted from a novel

and The Last Detail was adapted

into a film and this is the novel

sequel to his novel.

It is an adaptation of a novel

that is not a sequel.

We are going to test people on that.

The story is three former Marines

are reunited decades later when one

of their sons dies in Iraq

and they go on a road trip together.

One of them has taken holy orders.

They go on a road trip together

and they bicker and the bond

and they talk about

the past and the present.

Here is a clip.

What if I don't like it?

We get stuck with a

contract for two years?

Two years.

What if you fall down?

Have you thought of that?

With your legs that

is a possibility.

You cannot get up and

nobody can see you?

But with your mobile phone you can

get it out and if you could see

the numbers, your glasses,

I can't see, help me,

I cannot get up.

911 calls do not count

against minutes either.

Come on!

If I say yes, Will

you shut the hell up?

The joy of it is the performances.

Laurence Fishburne is really good.

Steve Carrell is the person

facing up to grief.

I think he does that

really brilliantly.

If you go there looking for a film

that is as cutting edge as the last

detail, you will be disappointed.

If you see it as a film

in its own right and you are able

to enjoy the ensemble

performances, it is a film

about their relationship,

it is melancholic,

it is sad and nostalgic.

It is often laughed out loud funny.

It will not change the world.

Rather than saying it is the sequel,

it is more of a footnote,

but a rather charming footnote,

largely because the three central

performances carry it through.

You were enjoying that clip.

Yes.

It is a film that stands on its own.

Oddly enough, the problem becomes

if you try and put it next to others

and it is a different

kettle of fish.

It is a not sequel to the movie.

Is that clear?

I think so.

And the best DVD?

Coco came out last week

and I love Three Billboards.

It is great that Pixar animation

is finally back at the top

of its game.

Deals with some really

complicated subjects.

Life, death, grief, loss, memory,

but it does it in a way that

children and adults

alike can watch it.

It looks beautiful.

If you see it and you love it,

get The Book Of Life on DVD.

It is a film that prefigures

many themes and is also

a very good movie.

And DVD.

I felt ignorant when I read lots

about this because of your

forthcoming recommendation,

and it sounds fascinating.

I felt bad I did not

know very much about it.

In Between is a story about three

women living in Tel Aviv,

each fighting their own

personal battle for freedom

against political, religious

and social repression.

It is beautifully observed,

fantastic performances,

really, really well written.

It deals with difficult

subject matter, often very

light-hearted and funny.

It has a beautifully enigmatic

ending and the best way

of describing it is you have

seen The Graduate?

Yes!

At the end is that incredible sense

of ambiguity, I think it has that.

It is really well worth seeing.

It didn't get a huge theatrical

release, but I have yet to meet

anyone who has seen it

who has not loved it.

No greater recommendation than that.

Thank you very much, Mark.

An interesting week.

We are now creeping up

towards awards season as well.

Right in the middle of it.

Lots to talk about

in the coming weeks.

A quick reminder before we go that

you'll find more film news

and reviews from across the BBC

online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode.

And you can find all our previous

programmes on the BBC iPlayer.

That's it for this week.

Enjoy your cinema going.

See you next time.

Goodbye.

Time to talk about the cricket. Good

morning. How are you doing?

Very

good, good morning. Sorry, frog in

my throat. The cricket is under way

in Australia, the one-day series is

going better than the Ashes is the

easy thing to say, we won it this

time last week more less. Although

there was a blip on Friday losing

the fourth test, here we are at this

point it's looking fairly good.

The fifth and final one-day

international between England and

Australia is on in Perth. Australia

won the toss and put England in to

back this morning. -- bat.

There were a lot of decent starts

for England's batsman but Australia

have been picking up

regular wickets.

This was Moeen Ali becoming

the sixth man out.

Joe Root is still there

and has just made his 50.

England are 234-6

with six overs left.

Joe Lynskey rounds up the action.

It's the competition that throws up

the culture clashes. This is Newport

County's home, a long way from

Wembley Stadium in every sense. But

the league two side weren't just

here for the occasion.

Good cross

back in and it's in for Newport

County! Padraig Armond has scored.

Huge smiles on all Newport faces.

A moment for South Wales to sing for

and for a while this had the makings

of a most remarkable upset. But when

Spurs aren't at their best, one man

can, comes to say them. Kane has a

tap in and Spurs are going to dig

themselves out of a whole heap of

trouble.

You can pretty much count

on him.

County were eight minutes from glory

but this is a draw with a decent

consolation prize. A replay at

Spurs' temporary home gives the

Exiles quite a day out.

We're going

to Wembley!

Replay at Wembley! Fair

play to my players, they gave

everything and I'm sure I'll wake up

in the morning being one of the

happiest man alive.

Wigan have been a nuisance for a few

top tier sides now after Bournemouth

in round three, now they've seen off

West Ham. A 2-0 win on a day the

James didn't show up.

You couldn't

have called us a Premier League team

today, a lot of young players got a

chance but not many impressed me and

I was disappointed with the senior

players, they didn't help the young

players on more as well.

An extraordinary evening at Anfield

saw history made in moving pictures.

First VAR ruled out West Brom's goal

and then it gave Liverpool a

penalty, which it missed. It's a new

system on trial and still dividing

opinion.

The penalty was the bad

decision, it went on and on and it

wasn't difficult. It seemed to go

upstairs and then they called him to

have a look. If you've got someone

up there with the evidence, make a

decision. Either stick with the

referee and tell him he's wrong and

let's crack on. I'm glad they got

the decision is right but it needs

tweaking.

But it barely took the

shine off a brilliant night for the

Baggies, a 3-2 win would have made

him proud.

They take pride in their history too

at Notts County but present glory

could come in a replay against

Swansea. Jon Stead's equaliser has

the Magpies in the hat but the

lowest ranked team definitely

through our Coventry City. The

league two side found their way past

MK Dons. This is the competition

where emotions can spill over and

understandably so with a Wembley

outing so close. The semifinals now

are just two rounds away. Joe

Lynskey, BBC News.

In the Scottish Premiership,

Celtic moved 14 points clear

at the top after

beating Hibs 1-0.

Aberdeen climbed above Rangers,

who play later today.

The Dons beat Kilmarnock 3-1

with two goals from Scott McKenna

and another from Niall McGinn,

who ran round three quarters

the length of the pitch

to score Aberdeen's third.

Elsewhere, wins for

Partick and Dundee.

In just under two hours' time,

Roger Federer plays Marin Cilic

in a record seventh

Australian Open final.

The Croat will be out for revenge,

having being beaten by Federer

in the final at Wimbledon last year.

Federer is going for

a 20th Grand Slam title.

Here are some of Roger Federer's

incredible achievements

during his career.

This is a 30th Grand Slam final,

he's won 19 already to be

the most successful

male in the open era.

He's won 95 titles, only

Jimmy Connors has more.

He's won over 11 100

singles matches,

picked up an Olympic

gold and silver medal,

taken Switzerland to the Davis Cup

and won about £79 million.

Another win will add another £2

million to that pot.

It would be amazing. I can't believe

how fast now the week has turned out

to be. Yeah... It ain't just an easy

trip to the finals. There's always a

lot of work that goes into it during

the tournament, focus and also

preparation beforehand for many

weeks and months before. You tried

to put yourself in the position.

I have to stay focused mentally and

to be ready from the first point on

the final. It's big motivation for

me to play that final and obviously

to win and I'm feeling really good

with my game and so hopefully I can

have a great match and also great

energy on the court.

A dream come true is how

Caroline Wozniacki described

becoming a Grand Slam champion.

The Danish second seed defeated

Simona Halep in three sets to win

the Australian Open.

It took her 43

attempts to win a slam

and her reward isn't

only that shiny trophy,

she'll also become

the world number one.

You know, being here tonight as a

grand slam champion, Australian Open

champion, it's very special. Daphne

here is going home with me tonight

and I'll be cuddling with her so

yeah!

Rory McIlroy lies in second place

going into today's final

round of the Dubai Desert Classic.

The Northern Irishman

shot four birdies and an eagle

to finish his third round on 19

under par, one behind leader

Li Haotong of China, who's 20 under.

McIlroy tees off at

quarter to nine our time.

Isn't it amazing how well someone

can do without an injury, Tiger

Woods coming back from his back

surgery, Rory McIlroy has been open

about taking a break and needing to

reassess.

You have to think about

the level of any sportsman and what

their body is going through. Looking

at Roger Federer, he isn't a young

man, but he is looking after himself

now, taking breaks between

tournaments and if anything he keeps

going. Is the ageless?

Can we be

clear about what is young?

I think

in tennis terms we can agree.

I'm

glad you clarified that! Thanks very

much!

Should all 16 and 17-year-olds be

given the vote?

The Welsh government says they'll be

allowed to have their say in future

local elections and a similar

cut in the voting age

came into force in

Scotland two years ago.

The Labour Party says

the idea should be extended

across the whole of the UK and that

teens should be allowed

to vote in general elections too.

So is it a good idea?

We asked some young people

in Cardiff what they think.

I think it would be a good thing

for us to be able to vote

because we would be voting

for our future, but at the same time

I don't think we get educated

enough about politics.

Personally I don't think we should

reduce the age to 16 because I don't

think schools are educating as an

off on the politics signed things.

Word we have to deal with the

consequences of the elections and

the referendums and such as Brexit,

it's about our work life in the

future.

Professor Andrew Russell,

Head of Politics at the University

of Liverpool joins us now.

It's interesting, we have seen it

changed in Scotland but it was

introduced during the Scottish

referendum so there was excitement

about voting then. Is there evidence

that has continued?

It has changed

in Scotland at all levels below the

General Election, Scottish

Parliament elections, local

elections and crucially 16 and 17

-year-olds were first able to vote

in the Scottish referendum, a very

high-profile election that engaged

16 and 17 -year-olds and there is

evidence they were then able to

carry on that participation and

engagement into future elections.

What worries me about this

development is if you give them the

vote in Welsh local elections it

might not be the most high profile

of elections and so therefore if

your first experience... If the

argument is that your first

experience is the one that is key

and that's when you get engaged and

if you vote early youth vote often,

if your first experience is pretty

low-key then you might abstain and

it might be abstention that you are

surviving in your life-cycle. It

might be that you have a period of

abstention.

The flipside is local

elections can raise their game?

Improves involvement and promote

their game? With the Scottish

referendum, 16 and 17-year-olds had

a real influence in terms of how

that vote happened.

The Scottish

independence referendum, lots of

people voted, unprecedented turnout.

That caught everyone's attention,

including 16 and 17-year-olds. There

is no doubt that that was excess but

it was also successful among all

those groups are unlikely to vote in

other elections.

There was the

argument when it came to the EU

referendum that if 16 and

17-year-olds had the vote then

anecdotally there could have been a

different result.

But we know the

younger section of society were the

least likely to vote in the

referendum. There aren't enough 16

and 17-year-olds to vote in high

numbers to overcome the lack of

enthusiasm to vote amongst 18224s in

the EU referendum. It's quite

interesting that these changes

proposed in Wales are rolled into

other changes about the way in which

we vote and it might be that... None

of these changes are enough

sufficient on their own unless they

are coupled up and rolled into a

series of changes about voter

education and maybe even changes in

the future about the mechanism of

voting so few of us live in safe

seats. If that's the case elections

might be more deeply contested and

there would be more at stake in some

of these elections. Even if general

elections in Britain are tied, most

live in safe constituencies.

What

are the key issues that would get

younger people out to vote? We've

touched on Brexit and the Scottish

referendum but it's unlikely in

local education is they will be a

lot of youth issues.

That will be one of the big

concerns. Generally for 16 and 17

-year-olds and young people

generally, they are more involved in

politics now that you might

otherwise expect. But it is about

how you make things relevant. There

is no magic wallet with 16 and 17

-year-olds, it is the same as

ordinary voters. How do you make

politics relevant to their everyday

lives? Sometimes you have to package

things up in a different way. If you

are talking about health issues, for

instance, that is something which

affects young people as much as it

affects older people. If you are

talking about crime and safety, that

impact on young people just as much

as it does old people. What it is

just how you package it up, and then

of course the added danger to that

is whenever politicians try and talk

to you, they tend to do so in a very

patronising way. And the youngest

sections of society are the ones who

can smell that kind of naffness a

mile off.

Thank you very much. Nice

to see you.

Here is Susan with a look

at this morning's weather.

Here is Susan with a look

at this morning's weather.

A very good morning to you.

If you

are looking out the window first

thing, you might think it is looking

very grey, but it will feel quite

present. Mild air sitting across us

has come all the way up from the

Atlantic. Very moist air, and that

is why we will have so much cloud

sitting across us. For the majority,

are reasonably dry day. At first

glance, possibly not that appealing.

It will be pretty grey for much of

England and Wales, rain first thing

for Northern Ireland, clearing the

afternoon. For Scotland, the best of

the brightness initially in the far

north-east but then a grey and wet

story for Scotland today. We have

this weather front sitting in place

which will push some heavy rain into

us, especially parts of Argyll and

the western highlands during the

day. Further south, Northern Ireland

looks dry during the afternoon.

Generally quite cloudy and murky

across much of England and Wales but

the wind everywhere across England

and Wales will be quite keen. Quite

gusty as well, and that will open it

up in a few places. It is a mild

story even if you keep the cloud,

and we could see 14 off then it's a

little bit of sunshine breaks

through. Overnight tonight, a

weather front in the North starts to

sink back south. And to the north of

that, colder air. A chilly start in

Scotland with patchy frost, this

band of rain sinking its way south.

Northern Ireland largely fine by

rush-hour, but the colder air moving

its way south as that front goes

south, that will be the most

noticeable change during the day on

Monday. There is that weather front,

the rain into England and Wales

through the day on Monday. Scotland

and Northern Ireland seeing some

sunshine, some showers for Scotland.

The biggest change will be the

colder air arriving, and eventually

that colder, clear air syncing in

northern England. The mildest

weather on Monday, the temperatures

across southern counties elsewhere

about average for the time of year,

about eight or nine.

Thank you very

much, it is nice to see those

temperatures up, even if only

temporarily.

And the rain doing the

right way. -- going the right way.

Now on Breakfast,

it is time for Click.

Ah, the streets of San Francisco!

Mecca for technology

innovators and aficionados.

A destination where the cult

of geek reigns supreme.

Everyone's got that billion-dollar

idea here and everyone wants

to save the world.

The ethos of nothing's impossible

runs in the veins and Twitter feeds

of every twentysomething

Zuckerberg wannabe.

Now Silicon Valley is taking

on life's biggest challenge, death.

Dave Lee has been looking at how

Silicon Valley is trying to help us

all live longer.

This will be my last

meal for 36 hours.

Like a growing number

of people in Silicon Valley,

I'm about to try fasting,

something some here believe

could contribute to

extending our lifespan.

My advice to you, just sleep

in really late so you don't have

to deal with it!

Kristen Brown is a

biotechnology journalist.

She tells me living longer

is becoming something

of an obsession for many techies.

We tend to see people not just

thinking of their body as a machine

but talking about it

metaphorically as a machine.

Are they actually

making any progress?

It's growing so quickly right now,

we understand so much more this year

than we did last year even

but the other thing about science

is the more questions you answer,

the more questions there are.

One incredible idea being tested

here can be traced back to this man,

Paul Bert.

In the mid-1800s, he claimed

if you took an old mouse

and literally stitched it

together with a young mouse,

the young mouse would become more

agile, have a better memory and heal

more quickly once it had the young

blood flowing through its veins.

Of course we can't start

stitching humans together,

but there is a start-up that thinks

it can do than expected thing.

Alkahest is a California based

start-up that believes weekly

injections of blood plasma

from young people could fight

the onest of Alzheimer's.

We treated these patients once

a week for four weeks with one unit

of plasma, and we found

the treatment was safe and very

importantly, although it was a short

study to see learning and memory

improvements, but it was good enough

to see some near-term improvements.

The team said it found those treated

were more capable of basic daily

tasks and more aware

of their surroundings.

Encouraging but far from conclusive.

Bigger trials are happening soon.

We're basically fertilising

the brain so to speak

with this protein cocktail.

To get some answers

on whether or not fantastical ideas

could actually work,

I went to visit one of the world's

foremost experts on ageing.

One of the ideas we're looking

at is fasting and how that can

perhaps rejuvenate

the body in some way.

Is that true?

What's the science behind that?

Fasting elicits a response

in your body that triggers

a protection against many

of the diseases associated with age.

So there's growing realisation that

multiple forms of fasting might

actually be beneficial

in the long-term.

One of the more perhaps outrageous

ideas is that you can transfer young

blood into an older person and that

will rejuvenate and slow the ageing

process, is that true?

First let's talk about

the science in mice.

It is actually amazing work.

The science is really strong.

Now, taking this and bringing it

to humans is a completely different

story, so the idea for example that

one would take human plasma or human

plasma product and give it to humans

to prevent ageing is,

in my opinion, lunacy.

Finally, my 36 hours were up.

I'm not sure it's worth it,

the lows I had last night and this

morning were awful and to do that

regularly I think might lead

to a longer life but it certainly

wouldn't be a happier one.

What could be really interesting,

though, is if these companies can

recreate the positive effects

of fasting without the hard work

of having to go without food

for such a long period of time.

But for now, I think I'm

going to choose breakfast.

Now, we've been looking at various

ways to try and extend human life,

possibly indefinitely,

but the researchers can't do it yet

and so, until they can,

there are those who are offering

to put your life on pause.

Marc Cieslak has been to Arizona to

meet the self-preservation society.

Death and taxes, as the saying goes,

are the two things none

of us can avoid.

What about if there was

a workaround for death,

some way of extending our physical

existence on this planet?

Alcor was founded in 1972 in order

to preserve people from the point

of death, freeze them and then

when technology is sufficiently

advanced revive them in the future.

A process it calls cryonics.

This is an interesting infographic

on the history of cryonics,

which starts actually

as far back as 1773,

when Benjamin Franklin thought

about the future of America

and speculated that maybe

he could be pickled in a vat

of madeira with his best friends

to see how the country came out.

What goes on in this space here?

Obviously this simulates a procedure

you would normally perform

when somebody dies?

Exactly.

We have to wait for the legal

death to be declared.

At that point we move the patient

from the bed to the ice bath.

We're gonna cover them with ice.

And at the same time,

even though they've been called

legally dead, we're gonna restart

all kinds of things.

We're gonna use a respirator

to recover breathing,

we will use this mechanical CPR

device and the reason we're doing

that is that we want to administer

a series of different medications

to protect the cells.

So this is even though the patient

themselves is dead at this point?

Right.

It's very much like when you donate

an organ, even though the person has

been declared dead that doesn't mean

all of the cells are suddenly dead.

Patients are effectively

pumped full of antifreeze

to protect their tissue

from the freezing process

which comes later.

It costs up to $200,000 to preserve

a full body and $60,000 if somebody

just wants their head preserved.

So this is our operating room.

The patient will be put on this

special operating table.

It's basically designed to shape

the patient for long-term storage.

We don't want someone

at a very low temperature

with their arm sticking out.

It's very hard to fit

into the capsule.

This here as well,

this is just for heads?

So usually we'll begin

on the operating table over

there and then we do a neuro

separation, a few vertebrae down,

and then place the patient's

cephalon, which is the brain

plus the skull, upside

down in the neuro ring.

Essentially the same process,

we're going to remove the blood

and fluids from the brain and cryo

protect them against ice formation.

Why would people want their head

separated from their body?

I'm not going to come

back just as a head,

I'm going to get a new body

and my view is that,

unless I die early in an accident,

then maybe I'm 95, 100-years-old

if I'm lucky, my body's going to be

in lousy shape anyway and the whole

thing will have to be regenerated.

Why go to the extra cost

of storing my whole body,

which is ten times

the volume of just my head?

The corridors here are lined

with photos of people

who are already frozen

in Alcor's storage facility.

This is the patient care base,

where we currently store

all of our patients.

Currently 152.

These are all of your patients?

Yes, all of our patients here.

Actually about two thirds

of them are neuro patients.

That means they're just heads?

Yeah.

So about half our living

members are whole body.

We actually have more

neuro patients here.

This can actually contain four

whole body patients.

Alcor doesn't have any legal

obligation to the people stored

here as they've technically

donated their bodies to science.

What happens if you have a power

cut, for instance?

Well, we don't need

electricity for this.

These are passive vessels,

they're just gigantic,

very expensive Thermos flasks

and you don't plug your Thermos

flask into electricity.

We just use the liquid nitrogen,

which boils off at -320,

to maintain that temperature.

Alcor says it's a non-profit making

organisation and that it has 1,150

people signed up for its services,

including Silicon Valley billionaire

Peter Thiel.

But what motivates ordinary people

to shell out up to $200,000

for cryogenic preservation?

Back in the UK, Derek Watkinson has

signed himself and his family up

for just that via a different outfit

called The Cryonics Institute.

I imagine being on my deathbed,

dying, and then immediately waking

up.

If it's gonna work, I'm gonna

wake up straightaway,

'cause the passage of time

won't mean anything,

because I'm dead.

So I'll wake up immediately

and hopefully I'll be able

to remember things.

My memory will be intact, hopefully.

Who I am.

Your whole family is going

to be preserved as well?

Yeah.

Luckily my wife and daughter

are for the idea and they are signed

up members of cryonics institute.

But is this all too good to be true?

We spoke to a neuroscientist who has

serious misgivings about the basic

foundations of cryonics.

You really can't afford to freeze

biological tissue until it's

been appropriately protected.

But unless you take it down to those

low temperatures for protection

quite quickly, it will

continue to decompose.

And my problem with the cryonics

dream, the wishful thinking

contracts that are sold,

is that they haven't

resolved that conflict.

There's no evidence that they can

get the antifreeze into all those

micro nooks and crannies

into the brain and satisfactorily

protect it.

We put this to Alcor,

who provided a detailed response:

So is this the ultimate

insurance policy then?

So is this the ultimate

insurance policy then?

Yeah, but I've not lost anything.

A bit of money.

But what's a bit of money!?

That's it for the short cut

of Click in San Francisco.

Hello.

This is Breakfast,

with Naga Munchetty and Ben

Thompson.

Police hunt a man thought to have

fled the scene of a horrific crash

in west London that killed

three teenage boys.

The victims have been named

locally as Josh Kennedy,

Harry Rice, and George Wilkinson.

A 28-year-old man has been arrested.

Good morning.

It's Sunday the 28th of January.

Also this morning:

Paris is on flood alert as water

levels continue to rise along

the River Seine.

16 and 17 year olds in Wales

could get the right to vote in local

elections as part of new plans

to keep them interested in politics.

Good morning.

And in sport, England have work

to do if they're to end their

one-day series with another

win over Australia.

Joe Root is the only man to pass

50 as they are bowled

out for 259.

For me personally, the culture that

I grew up in, it's a dream release,

a dream come true.

The artwork by Banksy that's

appeared on a bridge in Hull,

and why one councillor thinks it

should be cleaned up.

And Susan has the weather.

A lot of cloud. Fingers crossed for

some breaks. A mild day. More in 15

minutes.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

Police are hunting for a man

who is believed to have fled

the scene after a crash that killed

three teenage boys at a bus stop

in West London.

A 28-year-old man was arrested

on Friday night on suspicion

of causing death by dangerous

driving after a car mounted

the pavement in Hayes.

The three victims have been named

locally as Josh Kennedy,

Harry Rice and George Wilkinson.

Jon Donnison reports.

Three teenage friends on their way

to a Friday night party.

Their lives cut short.

They've been named locally

as Josh Kennedy, George Wilkinson

and Harry Rice.

He'd been a promising footballer

with Farnborough FC.

"Our thoughts are with Harry's

family and friends at this sad

time," the club posted

on social media.

Yesterday at the scene of the crash

the community gathered

to pay their respects and offer

an impromptu tribute.

They were killed when they were hit

by this black Audi as it reared up

onto the pavement at speed.

A 28-year-old man has been arrested

on suspicion of causing death

by dangerous driving.

Police are looking for a second man

they believe was in the car

who fled the scene.

They're appealing for witnesses.

There was a bus driver in front

of us and he came over and said,

"Oh, yes, there's someone dead

in the road, and at that point

I relayed that to 999

and within five minutes

an ambulance arrived.

But officers say all three

boys died at the scene.

They're appealing for anyone

with any information

to come forward.

Jon Donnison, BBC News.

We can speak to him now at the

scene. A tragic story. What more do

we know?

You can see behind me a

huge amount of floral tributes left

yesterday for the three boys who

died as they went to a party on

Friday night at the local football

club. What we are hearing from

police now is they are now looking

for a second man who they believe

was a passenger in the car. They

believe they fled the scene. The

police say there may have been more

than two people in the Audi car, but

they are not sure at the moment.

They are definitely looking for a

second man. A 28-year-old man has

been arrested for suspicion of

dangerous driving. We understand

members of the public apprehended

that men before police arrived. --

man. Just up the road there is a

petrol station. We understand some

witnesses have said some of the

young boys' friends got into some

kind of altercation, a fight, with

the person who the police have

arrested, and it was only after that
