0:00:06 > 0:00:10Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13A leaked Government report predicts Britain could be worse off
0:00:13 > 0:00:18after Brexit for the next 15 years.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21The confidential document was prepared for the Brexit Secretary,
0:00:21 > 0:00:29David Davis, but Number Ten insists it fails to give the full picture.
0:00:42 > 0:00:44More than 1.5 million people receiving the main disability
0:00:44 > 0:00:47benefit are to have their claims reviewed, after a court ruling,
0:00:47 > 0:00:55but campaigners tell Breakfast the move doesn't go far enough.
0:01:00 > 0:01:06Women at the BBC tell reporters they face veiled threats when they raise
0:01:06 > 0:01:08the subject of equal pay.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09Good morning.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11In sport: David Beckham is back in business.
0:01:11 > 0:01:13The star has launched a football team in Miami.
0:01:13 > 0:01:15And Carol has the weather.
0:01:15 > 0:01:20Good morning, a cold and frosty start for many of us this morning,
0:01:20 > 0:01:24with sunshine central, southern and eastern areas. In the north-west
0:01:24 > 0:01:28some wet and windy conditions, and cloudy and drizzly conditions across
0:01:28 > 0:01:32parts of Wales in south-west England. I will have more details in
0:01:32 > 0:01:3815 minutes.
0:01:38 > 0:01:42The impact of Brexit could leave Britain substantially worse off over
0:01:42 > 0:01:46the next 15 years according to a leaked government document, with the
0:01:46 > 0:01:52analysis carried out David Davis and seen by news service does feed. In
0:01:52 > 0:01:57it three scenarios are set out. The first looks at what happens if there
0:01:57 > 0:02:03is no EU trade deal, which would lower growth by 8%. If we managed a
0:02:03 > 0:02:10full trade agreement, the losses estimated at 5% alternatively, if
0:02:10 > 0:02:14reason kept access to the single market in a so-called soft Brexit,
0:02:14 > 0:02:19the impact would be just 2%. Government sources point out
0:02:19 > 0:02:23document hasn't looked at the impact of the third option, our bespoke
0:02:23 > 0:02:27trade deal with the EU. Our political correspondent is outside
0:02:27 > 0:02:31Westminster for us this morning. Good morning to you once again,
0:02:31 > 0:02:37Alex. Another day, another Brexit headline.There has already been
0:02:37 > 0:02:41quite a lot of controversy over any impact assessments the government
0:02:41 > 0:02:44may or may not have carried out, looking at the impact of Brexit on
0:02:44 > 0:02:48the economy and different set as an business is. David Davis, the Brexit
0:02:48 > 0:02:52secretary, said in the past there wasn't any official analysis, and
0:02:52 > 0:02:57then he published some details and there was a whole row about it. Now
0:02:57 > 0:03:00we have a leaked report, which as you say looks at these different
0:03:00 > 0:03:04models. It does say underneath those that the UK would benefit from doing
0:03:04 > 0:03:08trade deals from other countries like the US, but effectively it says
0:03:08 > 0:03:12the British economy would be worse off under every scenario it looked
0:03:12 > 0:03:18at, in terms of Brexit. Now, Downing Street doesn't deny that this impact
0:03:18 > 0:03:21assessment exists, but says it doesn't look at what the UK
0:03:21 > 0:03:25government wants, which is a very bespoke, tailor-made deal with the
0:03:25 > 0:03:29EU, and doesn't replicate any existing model. It also points out
0:03:29 > 0:03:33that this is part of a whole range of analysis which is being carried
0:03:33 > 0:03:37out. Nonetheless it has been seized upon by those who think Brexit is a
0:03:37 > 0:03:42bad idea to say it proves that point, while some in the
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Conservative Party are saying that largely this kind of modelling is
0:03:45 > 0:03:50ineffective and inaccurate, and not very useful at all. It has played to
0:03:50 > 0:03:54the divisions in the Conservative Party which already existed, and
0:03:54 > 0:03:58today we had the international trade Secretary, Liam Fox, give an
0:03:58 > 0:04:02interview to the sun where he says all of this is very bad for the
0:04:02 > 0:04:06government and he is urging his party to unite behind the Prime
0:04:06 > 0:04:10Minister. He is warning some people in the party they will have to be
0:04:10 > 0:04:14disappointed with what is about to happen -- the Sun. However, rather
0:04:14 > 0:04:21than calm tensions, I fear that will only fuel them.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25only fuel them.So that document was leaked to buzz feed, and we will
0:04:25 > 0:04:29speak to one of their journalists who has seen the document later in
0:04:29 > 0:04:36the programme -- Buzzfeed.
0:04:36 > 0:04:40There is a report that the government discriminated in personal
0:04:40 > 0:04:45insurance payments against those with certain disabilities. Our
0:04:45 > 0:04:56correspondent can explain.
0:04:57 > 0:05:03Homework time for Chloe Clark and his son.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05She suffers from severe anxiety, and cannot live
0:05:05 > 0:05:10without a family member.
0:05:10 > 0:05:13I do the Lee Selby is terminated against.
0:05:13 > 0:05:16I can't go out on my own.
0:05:16 > 0:05:19my husband had to quit work to look after me.
0:05:19 > 0:05:22I had a long period of no contact with friends
0:05:22 > 0:05:22and family.
0:05:22 > 0:05:26They suffered.
0:05:26 > 0:05:33Last month, the High Court found mental health payments
0:05:33 > 0:05:39for PIP were discriminatory.
0:05:39 > 0:05:41Every person on PIP will have their cases reviewed,
0:05:41 > 0:05:421.6 million people.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45At the end of the process around 220,000 people will get extra
0:05:45 > 0:05:47money.
0:05:47 > 0:05:54The changes will cost the government £3.7 billion by 2022-3.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57It will make a difference to a lot of people's quality of life,
0:05:57 > 0:05:59whether people can travel somewhere, forward
0:05:59 > 0:06:01to heat their homes, have additional food to eat.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Very basic difference is that it will make to people's
0:06:04 > 0:06:07quality of life.
0:06:07 > 0:06:12Exactly who will benefit from the review is not clear yet,
0:06:12 > 0:06:17but for people like Chloe, there is less reason to feel anger
0:06:17 > 0:06:21towards a system that has failed its users.
0:06:21 > 0:06:24The Irish cabinet has formally agreed to hold a referendum
0:06:24 > 0:06:25on liberalising the country's abortion laws.
0:06:25 > 0:06:29The Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, said there must be an end to women
0:06:29 > 0:06:30having to go abroad for terminations.
0:06:30 > 0:06:31Andrew Plant reports.
0:06:31 > 0:06:34CHANTING.
0:06:34 > 0:06:37It is an issue that polarises opinion in Ireland, now set
0:06:37 > 0:06:45to be the subject of a referendum on changing the law.
0:06:47 > 0:06:50At the moment, thousands of women travel overseas
0:06:50 > 0:06:53to terminate their pregnancy every year, or buy abortion pills online,
0:06:53 > 0:06:55taken at home without medical support or supervision.
0:06:55 > 0:06:58Now, politicians have agreed to hold a referendum on whether the laws
0:06:58 > 0:06:59on abortion should be changed.
0:06:59 > 0:07:01We already have abortion in Ireland.
0:07:01 > 0:07:06But it's unsafe, unregulated, and unlawful.
0:07:06 > 0:07:09And, in my opinion, we cannot continue to export our problems
0:07:09 > 0:07:17and import our solutions.
0:07:18 > 0:07:20As a medical doctor, as a former minister for health,
0:07:20 > 0:07:23I don't believe we can persist with the situation whereby women
0:07:23 > 0:07:26in crisis are risking their lives through the use of
0:07:26 > 0:07:27unregulated medicines.
0:07:27 > 0:07:29Pro-life groups here believe the laws on abortion
0:07:29 > 0:07:30shouldn't be changed.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32But campaigners want to see it decriminalised, and polls suggest
0:07:32 > 0:07:36that most people would vote to change the law and make abortion
0:07:36 > 0:07:41legal in some circumstances.
0:07:41 > 0:07:44Now, Ireland's health minister will draft a bill to amend
0:07:44 > 0:07:47the country's constitution in time for a vote at the end of May.
0:07:47 > 0:07:48Andrew Plant, BBC News.
0:07:48 > 0:07:51Women at the BBC have told MPs they faced veiled threats
0:07:51 > 0:07:53when they raised the subject of equal pay.
0:07:53 > 0:07:56The claims, which were made to the Digital, Culture,
0:07:56 > 0:07:59Media and Sport Select Committee, come as the BBC announces plans
0:07:59 > 0:08:01for a pay cap on its news presenters.
0:08:01 > 0:08:06Here is our media correspondent David Sillito.
0:08:06 > 0:08:09Some of the BBC's top news presenters have already agreed
0:08:09 > 0:08:12to have their pay cut, but this goes a step further.
0:08:12 > 0:08:17A ceiling of £320,000.
0:08:17 > 0:08:20It is still more than twice what the Prime Minister makes,
0:08:20 > 0:08:22and will only affect a handful of people.
0:08:22 > 0:08:27But it is a part of a wider audit and report into staff salaries.
0:08:27 > 0:08:29One key issue was highlighted by the recent resignation
0:08:29 > 0:08:32of Carrie Gracie as the BBC's China editor.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35She says a comparable male colleague was making more than 50%
0:08:35 > 0:08:38more than her.
0:08:38 > 0:08:44This and other pay issues are now being investigated by MPs.
0:08:44 > 0:08:49What we want from the BBC is, you know, a clear explanation
0:08:49 > 0:08:52of the steps they'll take to bring about an open and transparent policy
0:08:52 > 0:08:52on equal pay.
0:08:52 > 0:08:56And how they account for some of the pay decisions that were made
0:08:56 > 0:08:59in the past, that saw some people being paid many times more
0:08:59 > 0:09:02than their colleagues for doing what was essentially the same job.
0:09:02 > 0:09:05All of this follows the publication last summer of the pay deals
0:09:05 > 0:09:07of the BBC's top stars.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10The women campaigning for equal pay say they have not been consulted,
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and so have no confidence in today's report.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16But the BBC says it is committed to equal pay,
0:09:16 > 0:09:19and says today's proposals will make significant changes to the way it
0:09:19 > 0:09:20pays its on-air stars.
0:09:20 > 0:09:24David Sillito, BBC News.
0:09:24 > 0:09:27Police in the South African city of Cape Town have begun issuing
0:09:27 > 0:09:29fines to residents suspected of ignoring strict water
0:09:29 > 0:09:32regulations, following the worst drought in the region for more
0:09:32 > 0:09:33than a century.
0:09:33 > 0:09:37Officials have banned the washing of cars and imposed a limit of 50
0:09:37 > 0:09:38litres of water per person per day.
0:09:38 > 0:09:41It comes ahead of the so-called day zero, on 12 April,
0:09:41 > 0:09:44which could see the main supply switched off and residents forced
0:09:44 > 0:09:52to queue for water at collection points.
0:09:55 > 0:09:58He is the boy wizard who vanquished the terrifying Lord Voldemort,
0:09:58 > 0:10:02but it seems that Harry Potter's fans are equally keen to take
0:10:02 > 0:10:04on a formidable opponent - the Mastermind presenter John
0:10:04 > 0:10:06Humphreys.
0:10:06 > 0:10:08Last year, 262 Mastermind applicants requested Harry Potter
0:10:08 > 0:10:11as their specialist subject, according to the show's producer.
0:10:11 > 0:10:14He told the Radio Times it is the most popular request,
0:10:14 > 0:10:22but only one contestant per series is allowed to do it.
0:10:28 > 0:10:36Irving Welsh.Linton travel turn.
0:10:38 > 0:10:49127 Hours.He has a 12 inch plate. Keratin.Fallopian.Icarus.A dead
0:10:49 > 0:10:54cow.And you were all right up to there.You knew that, didn't you?
0:10:54 > 0:10:56Absolutely.
0:10:56 > 0:11:00Sonali is here with the sport.
0:11:00 > 0:11:08What was your speciality subject? Clearly something medical.Yes, that
0:11:08 > 0:11:12wasn't very intelligent, choosing something so broad. I wish you had
0:11:12 > 0:11:15been advising, I asked for friends, only because that is quite a world
0:11:15 > 0:11:20away from the human body but I have never been a major fan goal of
0:11:20 > 0:11:25anything. I just kind of know, you no, broad stuff to get me through
0:11:25 > 0:11:29life.It gives me sweaty palms even watching you do it, because when
0:11:29 > 0:11:35John Humphrys asked me the first question, he might as well have
0:11:35 > 0:11:38asked me what the names of my daughters were, and I would have
0:11:38 > 0:11:53floundered.What was yours?It was dusty Russell. Yours? One I did the
0:11:53 > 0:11:59gunpowder plot.
0:11:59 > 0:12:04gunpowder plot. And I did the old thing where you get one wrong and
0:12:04 > 0:12:16start thinking about why you got it wrong.I was on with Hacker the Dog.
0:12:16 > 0:12:22And I don't know what Tim Muffett's favourite subject was.I don't know.
0:12:22 > 0:12:31I think Bushell's was probably Alan Patridge. The films of Danny Boyle,
0:12:31 > 0:12:40I am told, was Tim Muffett. One bloke went on and said can I do meet
0:12:40 > 0:12:44as a speciality subject, and the producer said you can't do that, it
0:12:44 > 0:12:49is too broad -- meat. So he requested pork. There are not that
0:12:49 > 0:12:57many questions you can come up with on pork.They said too many people
0:12:57 > 0:13:03request Friends, but since I have been on I have seen lots of reality
0:13:03 > 0:13:09TV stars request Friends. There is also Fawlty Towers, quite a few of
0:13:09 > 0:13:16those on the list. I like the way you said that word behind your hand.
0:13:16 > 0:13:26It is before seven a.m.. Shall we start with David Beckham? What would
0:13:26 > 0:13:39be his specialist subject, I wonder? Scuffs over suits. -- scarves.He is
0:13:39 > 0:13:47in the news because he has bought a football team officially in the
0:13:47 > 0:13:51United States. He has always wanted to own a team himself, and it has
0:13:51 > 0:13:57taken a lot of years, but yes, it is now the 25th franchise in Major
0:13:57 > 0:14:00League Soccer, which is teams across the US and Canada.
0:14:00 > 0:14:03Let's have a look at how Major League Soccer's 25th team
0:14:03 > 0:14:06was announced, four years after the former Manchester United
0:14:06 > 0:14:09and England midfielder said he would front the new franchise.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12The delay has partly been down to disputes over the site
0:14:12 > 0:14:14for a stadium in southern Florida, with residents having
0:14:14 > 0:14:15opposed multiple locations.
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Phil Neville insists he is not sexist, after being criticised
0:14:18 > 0:14:19for tweets he posted in 2011.
0:14:19 > 0:14:22The England women's manager met with the media for the first time
0:14:22 > 0:14:25yesterday, where he defended himself, also saying that he didn't
0:14:25 > 0:14:27view the role as a stepping stone.
0:14:27 > 0:14:30Britain's Amir Khan is returning to boxing after almost two years out
0:14:30 > 0:14:31of the ring.
0:14:31 > 0:14:37He will fight Canadian Phil Lo Greco in Liverpool in April.
0:14:37 > 0:14:39And Britain's Alfie Hewett is the new world number one
0:14:39 > 0:14:42in the wheelchair tennis singles rankings, for the first time
0:14:42 > 0:14:43in his career.
0:14:43 > 0:14:46He is now the second British man to hold the top spot,
0:14:46 > 0:14:54after fellow 2016 Paralympic medallist Gordon Reid.
0:14:56 > 0:15:01I will be staying for the papers, if that is all right.Yes, of course
0:15:01 > 0:15:06that is all right.
0:15:11 > 0:15:16It is very cold. Oxfordshire yesterday,
0:15:16 > 0:15:20It is very cold. Oxfordshire yesterday, plus ten. Now, -5. 15
0:15:20 > 0:15:26degrees different. Southern England, 10- 15 degrees lower than yesterday
0:15:26 > 0:15:34at this time. A touch of frost. No surprise. Not everywhere, the
0:15:34 > 0:15:39north-west, more cloud. Summer rain. It is courtesy of this system
0:15:39 > 0:15:46producing the cloud. -- Some rain. And another one will push in as
0:15:46 > 0:15:57well. Clear sky this morning. It is cold. It is frosty. Look out for ice
0:15:57 > 0:16:03on untreated surfaces. Sony. The same in East Anglia. -- Sunny. You
0:16:03 > 0:16:08can see a few showers scattered across the west of Northern Ireland.
0:16:08 > 0:16:15Prolific. Happening through the north-west of Scotland. Some of that
0:16:15 > 0:16:21will be snow. Through the morning, temperatures will slowly come up.
0:16:21 > 0:16:26The sun will come out to be for many, a pleasant and dry days to be
0:16:26 > 0:16:34as this is the cloud building to be drizzle. The cloud will build and go
0:16:34 > 0:16:39east. At the same time, further showers in the north-west of
0:16:39 > 0:16:44Scotland with snow in the mountains. For much of Scotland, dry, like
0:16:44 > 0:16:50England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Temperatures are not
0:16:50 > 0:16:55noteworthy. With the sunshine, pleasant for this stage in January.
0:16:55 > 0:17:01The evening and overnight, this is the man the south-west and
0:17:01 > 0:17:08north-east going south-east. -- The system. Some snow at lower levels.
0:17:08 > 0:17:16As we go south, not as cold as this morning.
0:17:17 > 0:17:21morning. Fives, sixes, eights towards Plymouth. These are the
0:17:21 > 0:17:28fronts going south. Cold air seeping behind. Increasingly through the
0:17:28 > 0:17:34day, snow at lower levels. The
0:17:37 > 0:17:39day, snow at lower levels. The mild weather of the yellow pushed by the
0:17:39 > 0:17:45blue. Rain first thing in the morning. Sunshine. Showers in
0:17:45 > 0:17:49Northern Ireland and nor in England, getting down to modest levels, 200
0:17:49 > 0:17:58metres. Not as disruptive as it was a few weeks ago.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02a few weeks ago. Temperatures, only fours and fives in the north.Not
0:18:02 > 0:18:02that dramatic.
0:18:02 > 0:18:06fours and fives in the north.Not that dramatic. Thank you.
0:18:06 > 0:18:12You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
0:18:12 > 0:18:18We will look at the papers in a moment. First, the main stories this
0:18:18 > 0:18:18morning.
0:18:18 > 0:18:20Government officials have concluded that Britain will be worse off
0:18:20 > 0:18:22after Brexit regardless of any deal struck with Brussels.
0:18:22 > 0:18:26The Irish cabinet has approved plans to hold a referendum in May
0:18:26 > 0:18:33on whether to reform the country's abortion laws.
0:18:33 > 0:18:39Where would you like to begin? The Mail. You go first.Thank you. The
0:18:39 > 0:18:48Daily Telegraph. Women at BBC faced threats over pay. We will look at
0:18:48 > 0:18:59that in more detail later.
0:19:01 > 0:19:03that in more detail later. And this is Mrs Hancock on love with a
0:19:03 > 0:19:1160-year-age gap.And Nick Knoll is. The story about the BBC. The Mail.
0:19:11 > 0:19:18This is in a few of the papers. A burglar. It is suspected possibly a
0:19:18 > 0:19:28renegade soldier has undertaken a series of raids on houses. He has
0:19:28 > 0:19:32gone into various places and stolen valuables worth up to £7 million. He

0:20:31 > 0:20:35playing table tennis with his wife and that was the wording that he
0:20:35 > 0:20:41used. He apologised for the language. He admitted in isolation
0:20:41 > 0:20:49it looked bad. He went on to say Manchester United, the only thing
0:20:49 > 0:20:53without a major women's team, he wants them to have one. Many are

0:23:45 > 0:23:48Subjects like art, music, and drama are being cut back
0:23:48 > 0:23:50in secondary schools in England, according to a BBC survey.
0:23:50 > 0:23:53Teachers say there's been a squeeze on creative classes amid concerns
0:23:53 > 0:23:56that there's too much emphasis on core subjects
0:23:56 > 0:23:57like Maths and English.
0:23:57 > 0:24:05Jo Black has this report.
0:24:09 > 0:24:15The creative arts. They have been part of the weekly timetable for
0:24:15 > 0:24:21decades. But for how much longer?We are reaching a tipping point where
0:24:21 > 0:24:29if we continue to squeeze the arts, it will have significantly negative
0:24:29 > 0:24:33effects. In the last three years, this head teacher has had to cut
0:24:33 > 0:24:38arts lessons, resources, and staff, and is teaching some of the classes
0:24:38 > 0:24:42himself. I have had to make decisions about whether I can afford
0:24:42 > 0:24:51to run certain classes. I know there are schools that have cut GSCEs in
0:24:51 > 0:24:58Drama and Photography.I want to express myself
0:24:58 > 0:25:03Drama and Photography.I want to express myself.They all rely on
0:25:03 > 0:25:09core skills like maths and science. There is a lot of pressure.The BBC
0:25:09 > 0:25:14asked schools about this. 40%, more than 1200 schools, responded. A
0:25:14 > 0:25:18third said they cut the number of lessons in at least one arts subject
0:25:18 > 0:25:23in the last few years. A quarter said they now employ fewer
0:25:23 > 0:25:28specialist teachers. And a third are considering dropping at least one
0:25:28 > 0:25:35arts subject for GSCE. Why is this happening? The key reason is the
0:25:35 > 0:25:39government's focus on core subjects like English, maths, science,
0:25:39 > 0:25:43language, history, and geography. Mr Swan schools to make sure more
0:25:43 > 0:25:51pupils sit these subjects.
0:25:51 > 0:25:56pupils sit these subjects. -- They want to make sure. This Shakespeare
0:25:56 > 0:26:00festival gives pupils all over the country a chance to perform on a
0:26:00 > 0:26:04professional stage. But increasingly, schools have been
0:26:04 > 0:26:07dropping out because they cannot afford it, and they do not have
0:26:07 > 0:26:12enough staff to take part creativity and art education is not just about
0:26:12 > 0:26:17painters and actors. Being a creative member of society means you
0:26:17 > 0:26:21are more confident and communicate better and work better with people
0:26:21 > 0:26:24of different backgrounds to yourself. That is something that is
0:26:24 > 0:26:29absolutely crucial in a society facing the kind of difficulties and
0:26:29 > 0:26:33problems we face. Does that represent the creative industries
0:26:33 > 0:26:36worth £92 billion a year are becoming increasingly concerned.
0:26:36 > 0:26:43Arts provision should also be seen as a core subject. There is nothing
0:26:43 > 0:26:50soft about subjects that create the talent that create the fastest
0:26:50 > 0:26:54growing sector in the UK economy. The government says schools are
0:26:54 > 0:27:00required to provide a broad and balanced curriculum which Ofsted
0:27:00 > 0:27:04consider in their inspections. It also says it is investing £400
0:27:04 > 0:27:10million in music and arts education programmes. But for most schools in

0:27:15 > 0:27:20coming years. Jo Black, BBC News.

0:32:32 > 0:32:38Here is a summary of today's main stories from BBC News:
0:32:38 > 0:32:43The impact of Brexit could leave Britain substantially worse off over
0:32:43 > 0:32:47the next 15 years according to a leaked government document. The
0:32:47 > 0:32:50analysis of three different scenarios has been carried out by
0:32:50 > 0:32:53the office of the Brexit secretary, David Davis, and has been seen by
0:32:53 > 0:33:01the online news service BuzzFeed. Government sources suggest it hasn't
0:33:01 > 0:33:05looked at the impact of the third, preferred option, a bespoke trade
0:33:05 > 0:33:08deal with the EU.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11A significant number of people who receive personal independence
0:33:11 > 0:33:14payments from the government are expected to receive more money after
0:33:14 > 0:33:19their cases reviewed. All recipients are to have their cases looked at
0:33:19 > 0:33:26again after the challenge saying they were unfair to people with
0:33:26 > 0:33:30mental health conditions.
0:33:30 > 0:33:33This is a series of improvements which please me, because it shows
0:33:33 > 0:33:37the government can be controlling and careful with money but also do
0:33:37 > 0:33:49the right things for people who are vulnerable and who need our support.
0:33:49 > 0:33:51Police say a highly-professional former soldier is believed to have
0:33:51 > 0:33:53carried out seven violent raids with military-style planning.
0:33:53 > 0:33:56Surrey Police have released CCTV footage of a suspect,
0:33:56 > 0:33:58who is accused of staking out expensive properties
0:33:58 > 0:34:01in the Home Counties, so that he knew their exact layout
0:34:01 > 0:34:02and location of safes.
0:34:02 > 0:34:04The owners were robbed of jewellery and watches,
0:34:04 > 0:34:06while being threatened with a sawn-off shotgun.
0:34:06 > 0:34:09The Irish cabinet has formally agreed to hold a referendum
0:34:09 > 0:34:12on liberalising the country's abortion laws, at the end of May.
0:34:12 > 0:34:16The Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, said there must be an end to women

0:34:17 > 0:34:20The Republic of Ireland currently has a near-total ban on abortion.
0:34:20 > 0:34:23Women at the BBC have told MPs they faced veiled threats
0:34:23 > 0:34:25when they raised the subject of equal pay.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28The claims, which were made to the Digital, Culture,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31Media and Sport Select Committee, come as the BBC announces plans
0:34:31 > 0:34:33for a pay cap on its news presenters.
0:34:33 > 0:34:35The proposed maximum salary of £320,000 will affect only
0:34:35 > 0:34:38a handful of people, but forms part of a wider
0:34:38 > 0:34:46restructuring of pay.

0:34:54 > 0:34:55than a century.
0:34:55 > 0:34:59Officials have banned the washing of cars and imposed a limit of 50

0:35:01 > 0:35:04It comes ahead of the so-called day zero, on 12 April,
0:35:04 > 0:35:07which could see the main supply switched off and residents forced
0:35:07 > 0:35:15to queue for water at collection points.
0:35:19 > 0:35:26It is time again to talk about David Beckham.Not that we talk about
0:35:26 > 0:35:30David Beckham everyday.I like talking about David Beckham. He is
0:35:30 > 0:35:37now the owner of a football team over in the States. He says it is a
0:35:37 > 0:35:42dream come true. He first said he wanted one in Miami four years ago
0:35:42 > 0:35:45but there have been long legal battles and he finally announced it
0:35:45 > 0:35:51yesterday. Interestingly they don't have a team game, there are already
0:35:51 > 0:35:56three Uniteds out there, Minnesota United, Atlanta United, and maybe he
0:35:56 > 0:36:00will want Miami United. I don't know what the rules are about the name,
0:36:00 > 0:36:16at least that would still have MMU. You always come up with good names.
0:36:16 > 0:36:22You can't top Kyle-imanjaro.
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Our sports correspondent Natalie Pirks has more.
0:36:26 > 0:36:31This is how America does football, with much fanfare and franchises.
0:36:31 > 0:36:34David Beckham is once again lending his star power to Major League
0:36:34 > 0:36:39Soccer, this time as an owner of Miami, the league's 24th club.Today
0:36:39 > 0:36:45you made my dream come true.It is a dream that has been a long time
0:36:45 > 0:36:50coming, part of the contract that lured back as a player from Los
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Angeles in 2007 was a cut-price deal to own his own club someday. He told
0:36:54 > 0:36:59me his competitive nature kept the franchise alive.There was moments
0:36:59 > 0:37:03and I didn't think it was going to happen, but I don't like to lose. I
0:37:03 > 0:37:07don't give in very easily. I always believed in Miami, I always believe
0:37:07 > 0:37:12that, you know, this is where I want about him, and finally we are here.
0:37:12 > 0:37:17Well, this is where the stadium is currently slated to be built, an
0:37:17 > 0:37:21area called Overtown, which even the local mayor described as edgy. This
0:37:21 > 0:37:25road is where the middle of the pitch could be, and as you can
0:37:25 > 0:37:28imagine that hasn't gone down well with some community leaders, who are
0:37:28 > 0:37:32concerned over things like noise, traffic, and a questionable economic
0:37:32 > 0:37:36benefits.I can't imagine how I am going to be able to get in and out
0:37:36 > 0:37:40of our neighbourhood when 25,000 soccer fans are swarming the site on
0:37:40 > 0:37:46a weekday evening.$250 million to build this stadium, and all you get
0:37:46 > 0:37:51is 50 jobs out of it? That mass doesn't work.It didn't work for the
0:37:51 > 0:37:56last MLS team here. Miami Fusion folded after just four seasons, but
0:37:56 > 0:38:01a lot has changed since then. Miami has a large Hispanic community, and
0:38:01 > 0:38:04football is a huge part of its culture.We love soccer here, and
0:38:04 > 0:38:08anything to generate money just for the city itself, make us more
0:38:08 > 0:38:11popular than the we already are, is great.We are hoping that the name
0:38:11 > 0:38:16of Beckham will have a lot of people wanting to play for this team.We
0:38:16 > 0:38:19have had a wealth of experience from playing with different clubs in
0:38:19 > 0:38:22different cities around the world, so that is where I can obviously add
0:38:22 > 0:38:26my expertise into this ownership group. And that will be my role, you
0:38:26 > 0:38:31know, to bring great, talented players.At that will require cash.
0:38:31 > 0:38:36Sanchez, for example, is on a reported £5,000 a week off but
0:38:36 > 0:38:42Manchester's former Plaut says they deserve it.The money is incredible.
0:38:42 > 0:38:46I am not going to turn around and say this player should be paid that,
0:38:46 > 0:38:50because I believe that if you have done well in the game you deserve
0:38:50 > 0:38:53whatever you get.MLS has designs on becoming a major global player. Then
0:38:53 > 0:39:00newest owner knows plenty about that. -- of their newest owner.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Meanwhile, Beckham's former Manchester United teammate
0:39:02 > 0:39:05Phil Neville has given his first interview since his controversial
0:39:05 > 0:39:06appointment as England women's manager.
0:39:06 > 0:39:09Neville apologised a day after taking the job for past
0:39:09 > 0:39:10tweets about women.
0:39:10 > 0:39:15The former England defender can't wait to get started.
0:39:15 > 0:39:19Do I know everything about women's football? No, but I will, and that
0:39:19 > 0:39:27is part of my job. When I went to La Liga, I knew three players within
0:39:27 > 0:39:31the Valencia team, within a week I knew all about Valencia and was
0:39:31 > 0:39:34speaking another language. I am a fast learner and it is something
0:39:34 > 0:39:37that now I will throw everything into making sure that my 100%
0:39:37 > 0:39:39commitment is to the women's game.
0:39:39 > 0:39:43It is that time when Premier League clubs check their fax machine
0:39:43 > 0:39:45is working and the chairman's mobile has got battery -
0:39:45 > 0:39:46transfer deadline day.
0:39:46 > 0:39:49It is the last chance to sign new players before the end
0:39:49 > 0:39:50of the season.
0:39:50 > 0:39:52Expect the cash to flow.
0:39:52 > 0:39:54League leaders Manchester City are set to break their transfer
0:39:54 > 0:39:57record by spending £57 million to bring in French defender Aymeric
0:39:57 > 0:39:59Laporte.
0:39:59 > 0:40:02You probably last saw him trying to avoid snakes in I'm a Celebrity,

0:40:04 > 0:40:07But now, Amir Khan is getting back into the boxing ring.
0:40:07 > 0:40:10He will fight Canadian Phil Lo Greco in Liverpool in April.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13Khan lost his last fight back in 2016, but says it's time
0:40:13 > 0:40:15to shine again.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Britain's Alfie Hewett is the new number-one-ranked

0:40:18 > 0:40:20He says a dream has become reality.
0:40:20 > 0:40:23He is the second British man to make it to top spot,
0:40:23 > 0:40:25after his doubles partner Gordon Reid.
0:40:25 > 0:40:27He wrote on Twitter that it's been a journey.
0:40:27 > 0:40:29Many highs and lows, pain and sacrifice, tears,
0:40:29 > 0:40:35fun and enjoyment.
0:40:35 > 0:40:38After 169 Russian athletes were invited to compete as neutrals
0:40:38 > 0:40:40at the Winter Olympics over the weekend, the International
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Paralympic Committee has followed suit.
0:40:42 > 0:40:45Russian para-athletes who can prove they are clean will be allowed
0:40:45 > 0:40:47to compete as neutrals in Pyeongchang next month.
0:40:47 > 0:40:49Russia was banned from all Paralympic competition two years
0:40:49 > 0:40:57ago, after being accused of state-sponsored doping.
0:41:00 > 0:41:03And finally, you may have heard of welly wanging competitions,
0:41:03 > 0:41:05but have you heard of tuna tossing?

0:41:08 > 0:41:11The Tuna Tossing World Championships take place annually
0:41:11 > 0:41:13at the Tunarama Festival, in Port Lincoln, Australia.
0:41:13 > 0:41:16The idea grew from watching dock workers in this fishing town
0:41:16 > 0:41:18hurl their catch from the decks of overflowing boats.
0:41:18 > 0:41:26Some, though, were a lot more successful than others.

0:41:44 > 0:41:54think it is.So the idea started with throwing a dead fish back in.
0:41:54 > 0:42:01Have you ever welly wanged?No, I am not might bushel.I remember you
0:42:01 > 0:42:06should always grab the end which is not the boot and, and then you
0:42:06 > 0:42:11normally... The best technique apparently is to face the other way
0:42:11 > 0:42:21and wang it over your head like that. Just give it a good wang.
0:42:22 > 0:42:25Theresa May flies out to China later, but it is likely that Brexit
0:42:25 > 0:42:27will continue to dominate the agenda.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30A Government document has been leaked suggesting that the economy
0:42:30 > 0:42:32will slow down after we leave the EU.
0:42:32 > 0:42:34The internal analysis, seen by the news website BuzzFeed,
0:42:34 > 0:42:36simulated three different scenarios for Brexit.
0:42:36 > 0:42:39In each, the UK was left in a worse financial situation
0:42:39 > 0:42:41than if we remained in the union.
0:42:41 > 0:42:44But the Government says it fails to cover Number Ten's preferred
0:42:44 > 0:42:46scenario of a bespoke trade deal.
0:42:46 > 0:42:48Let's speak to our political correspondent Alex Forsyth,
0:42:48 > 0:42:56who is in Westminster.
0:42:59 > 0:43:04We mentioned there are government trying to say hold on a minute, this
0:43:04 > 0:43:09isn't covering what we are looking at ourselves. But it is still pretty
0:43:09 > 0:43:13damaging, isn't it?Yes, the government will wake up to more
0:43:13 > 0:43:19unwanted headlines to do with Brexit this morning. It has looked at three
0:43:19 > 0:43:23possibilities, as you say, the idea of getting a trade deal with the EU,
0:43:23 > 0:43:26getting no trade deal, and staying in the single market and under all
0:43:26 > 0:43:30three at says the economy would grow more slowly than if the UK were to
0:43:30 > 0:43:34stay in the European Union. As you said, the government says work is
0:43:34 > 0:43:38crucially doesn't take into account is the government's plan to not take
0:43:38 > 0:43:41one of the models which currently exists but to get a tailor-made,
0:43:41 > 0:43:45bespoke deal with the European Union, which reflects the
0:43:45 > 0:43:48partnership that the UK currently has. So they say this must be given
0:43:48 > 0:43:53its contacts. You can't read too much into this, and it is only part
0:43:53 > 0:43:57of the many aspects of analysis that are going on across Westminster.
0:43:57 > 0:44:01Nonetheless what this does is fuel divisions within the Conservative
0:44:01 > 0:44:05Party between those who say the exit is a bad idea which they don't want
0:44:05 > 0:44:09to happen, and those who say there is far too much of a gloomy outlook
0:44:09 > 0:44:13on this kind of modelling can't be trusted. It plays into those
0:44:13 > 0:44:18divisions and that debate. We heard among Tory colleagues on Newsnight,
0:44:18 > 0:44:22backbenchers Jacob Rees-Mogg and Nicky Morgan, a very stark
0:44:22 > 0:44:27difference of opinion about this analysis. Let's listen to what they
0:44:27 > 0:44:34had to say.The key thing is the assumption of the tariffs you apply
0:44:34 > 0:44:37to goods coming into the EU, and I don't know about these models but
0:44:37 > 0:44:41the ones done before that Brexit vote assumed we would apply the
0:44:41 > 0:44:47common external tariff to UK external trade with the UK, and that
0:44:47 > 0:44:49makes these models highly speculative and so far very
0:44:49 > 0:44:53inaccurate.We can argue about the underlying basis and everything
0:44:53 > 0:44:57else. What it shows is there is a risk this is why I wanted to remain,
0:44:57 > 0:45:02to the UK economy. At the end of the day our constituents will not thank
0:45:02 > 0:45:06us if we have weakened our economic security and livelihoods as a result
0:45:06 > 0:45:11of these negotiations.The problem for Theresa May is the Conservative
0:45:11 > 0:45:14Party she governs fundamentally disagree is not only about whether
0:45:14 > 0:45:18Brexit is the right thing or the wrong thing, but about how the
0:45:18 > 0:45:21government should handle it. And interestingly, today, the
0:45:21 > 0:45:26International trade Secretary, Liam Fox, who himself was a great
0:45:26 > 0:45:33Brexiteer, has said it is time to get behind Theresa May and says
0:45:33 > 0:45:36there will be some people in the party who are disappointed with the
0:45:36 > 0:45:41outcome of this process, but he says they will just have to put up with
0:45:41 > 0:45:45it. So I think what we are getting now is a recognition of just how
0:45:45 > 0:45:48damaging these divisions over Brexit really are to the government, that
0:45:48 > 0:45:52senior figures are rallying around her trying to say let's get kind the
0:45:52 > 0:45:55leader, put the squabbling to one side, and get on with this process.
0:45:55 > 0:45:59And we will continue to look at that throughout the programme this
0:45:59 > 0:46:00morning.
0:46:04 > 0:46:09Do you use anti-freeze?If I
0:46:09 > 0:46:12Do you use anti-freeze?If I can find it. It is a beautiful picture
0:46:12 > 0:46:20behind you.Lovely. It is very cold. You will be scraping the windscreen.
0:46:20 > 0:46:25New Zealand, it is summer in the Southern Hemisphere, and this woman
0:46:25 > 0:46:31had a temperature knocking on the door of 38 degrees, 100 Fahrenheit.
0:46:31 > 0:46:40That is the hottest January day in New Zealand in 40 years. Here, 10-
0:46:40 > 0:46:4915 degrees off of what we had yesterday lower. Not everywhere. In
0:46:49 > 0:46:53the north-west of the country, cloud from the Atlantic producing showers
0:46:53 > 0:46:58in north-west Scotland through the night. The wind is picking up. No
0:46:58 > 0:47:06problems with frost. South, under clear skies, a cold start to the
0:47:06 > 0:47:11day. You can see a blue tinge on the charts. In rural areas, frost. When
0:47:11 > 0:47:19the sun comes up, equally sunshine. A few showers to the west of
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Northern Ireland. Showers in north-west Scotland with some snow
0:47:22 > 0:47:29on the mountain tops. The rest of Scotland, dry with sunshine. Through
0:47:29 > 0:47:36the day, we hang the sunshine. Through the day, this next system
0:47:36 > 0:47:41will come up into the south-west introducing cloud and drizzle. As
0:47:41 > 0:47:47showers get going, the wind picks up in Scotland. Look at the dry
0:47:47 > 0:47:50weather. Cloud building in from the west. A pleasant day to be the
0:47:50 > 0:47:57temperature range, 6- ten. Through the evening and overnight, this
0:47:57 > 0:48:03system pushes up from the south-west going east. In the meantime, the
0:48:03 > 0:48:06rain gets heavier as it goes south-west. They meet and continue
0:48:06 > 0:48:12in the south-east. Behind that, cold conditions come in. Snow showers
0:48:12 > 0:48:22falling at lower levels. Cold in the north. Isolated frozen surface is.
0:48:22 > 0:48:29-- surfaces. On these fronts will go south Behind that, the wind is going
0:48:29 > 0:48:42north-west. We will feel the draft. How does that look on the charts?
0:48:42 > 0:48:51Rain from the south-east. Sunshine. A smattering of showers.
0:48:54 > 0:49:00Increasingly, snow showers in Northern Ireland. We do not expect
0:49:00 > 0:49:05them to be as disruptive as they have been. It is still cold in the
0:49:05 > 0:49:12north. 4-5. Ten further south. Thursday, a quiet day for many of
0:49:12 > 0:49:21us. Showers in north-east Scotland. Snow on the mountains. It is windy.
0:49:21 > 0:49:286-7, perhaps eight. That leads us to the end of the week with a ridge of
0:49:28 > 0:49:33high pressure coming in. Some rain on Friday. But Friday and Saturday,
0:49:33 > 0:49:38for most, initially my old on Friday, cooling down, it will get to
0:49:38 > 0:49:44eight on Saturday. Not writing any postcards about those temperatures.
0:49:44 > 0:49:52I love the idea people still write postcards.
0:49:56 > 0:50:03postcards.I do try. I'll send you one. Thank you very much. Very cold.
0:50:03 > 0:50:03I
0:50:03 > 0:50:06one. Thank you very much. Very cold. I only got one last year. I make the
0:50:06 > 0:50:10kids write them.I still have one I have to write from Christmas it is
0:50:10 > 0:50:15on my
0:50:15 > 0:50:24on my list of priorities.Getting back to anti-freeze, I use de-icer.
0:50:24 > 0:50:34I have poured water on my screen. A small crack appeared. I fixed it.
0:50:34 > 0:50:39Never
0:50:46 > 0:50:49Never put water on it. Stick to de-icer. I live life on the edge.In
0:50:49 > 0:50:56the old days, I used a credit
0:51:00 > 0:51:03the old days, I used a credit card, or a CD. As long as it is old and
0:51:03 > 0:51:06you don't mind ruining it. Get in there like that.
0:51:06 > 0:51:08The UK's largest regional cities are seeing near-record levels
0:51:08 > 0:51:11of construction activity for the second year in a row.
0:51:11 > 0:51:14That's according to an annual survey of activity in Birmingham,
0:51:14 > 0:51:17Leeds, Belfast and Manchester, where Sean is for us this morning.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20I have not done this, but apparently counting trains is important. It
0:51:20 > 0:51:25shows how well the city is doing. -- cranes.
0:51:25 > 0:51:30I cannot believe you have not done it!I am on the rooftop of one of
0:51:30 > 0:51:38the new student accommodation buildings here. You can
0:51:39 > 0:51:42buildings here. You can make out four cranes in the distance. Nine or
0:51:42 > 0:51:46ten around me. It is a good bellwether for the economy. A
0:51:46 > 0:51:51consultancy firm
0:51:58 > 0:52:01consultancy firm have a crane survey out counting cranes, but also
0:52:01 > 0:52:04looking at how much building is going on. They believe building
0:52:04 > 0:52:09activity is up more than it was before the financial crisis. What is
0:52:09 > 0:52:15driving the growth? I spoke to the architect who built some towers in
0:52:15 > 0:52:19London and who lives in a penthouse at the top.
0:52:19 > 0:52:24I think of this as a century from the city. It is 45 minutes from the
0:52:24 > 0:52:30street. But the city is in front of you.You can see an amazing view of
0:52:30 > 0:52:36Manchester. How has it changed in the last few years?What has really
0:52:36 > 0:52:43changed is we do not have as many derelict car parks, we actually have
0:52:43 > 0:52:47buildings filling in the little gaps. We are getting a much more
0:52:47 > 0:52:52tighter packed city, much more European.We are looking at this
0:52:52 > 0:52:57league table of county cranes. Is that a good way of measuring how
0:52:57 > 0:53:02well a city is doing?It is really important about expressing
0:53:02 > 0:53:07confidence within a city. To me, a demonstration of that is buildings,
0:53:07 > 0:53:12because we are providing new offices, new homes, hotels or
0:53:12 > 0:53:16visitors to the city.Is there a danger when all this building is
0:53:16 > 0:53:21going on that commuters can be forgotten?We are creating a
0:53:21 > 0:53:25community and little bit in the city centre. In the last 20 years we have
0:53:25 > 0:53:31seen a transformation. But it is important every building is thought
0:53:31 > 0:53:34about carefully, making sure it fits its context and serves its purpose
0:53:34 > 0:53:39and is a beautiful addition to the skyline of the city.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43It is interesting. It is not just about building things as quickly as
0:53:43 > 0:53:49you can whatever they look like. I had some people to talk about it.
0:53:49 > 0:53:55You put together the survey. You are doing more than counting cranes.
0:53:55 > 0:54:00What is driving this regional growth?I think what you are seeing
0:54:00 > 0:54:05is the return of regional cities. They are having a great time at the
0:54:05 > 0:54:10moment. They are executing the plans in place for a number of years. We
0:54:10 > 0:54:15are seeing people wanting to live and work in regional cities.You say
0:54:15 > 0:54:21having a great time. But many people in these cities may not have seen a
0:54:21 > 0:54:24pay rise for several years. The companies employing them could be
0:54:24 > 0:54:29doing better... What is the connection between that?I think we
0:54:29 > 0:54:34are seeing more businesses wanting to invest and to bring businesses to
0:54:34 > 0:54:39the regional cities. We are seeing younger people wanting to stay here
0:54:39 > 0:54:43having graduated from universities in Belfast, Leeds, wherever you are.
0:54:43 > 0:54:48They are fuelling the growth of these cities. OK, yes, wages are not
0:54:48 > 0:54:53growing as quickly as we want, but that will come.It is interesting.
0:54:53 > 0:54:59Younger people are wanting to live in cities. But Manchester,
0:54:59 > 0:55:03Birmingham, the rent, affordability of buying a house, it is going up.
0:55:03 > 0:55:07Prices are growing fast in regional cities, but we are playing catch-up
0:55:07 > 0:55:10to the rest of the country. Prices were moderate after the financial
0:55:10 > 0:55:15crisis. You have to remember those who want to buy a home, many first
0:55:15 > 0:55:21home buyers can use the Help to Buy Scheme from the government. Capital
0:55:21 > 0:55:27values are under the 600,000 mark. The average values around here are
0:55:27 > 0:55:35175,000, under the national average. When you say it has residential
0:55:35 > 0:55:37buildings on the skyline in Manchester, what effect does it
0:55:37 > 0:55:43have? If you want to rent or buy in a city and they are building many
0:55:43 > 0:55:48homes at the moment, does that mean prices may come down?It is not just
0:55:48 > 0:55:53residential buildings, there are two schemes. Regeneration, place making,
0:55:53 > 0:56:00transport infrastructure. We also have to remember that there is not a
0:56:00 > 0:56:06lot of activity on the development front in these regional cities. We
0:56:06 > 0:56:11are playing catch up.Just finally, this is focusing on the big cities
0:56:11 > 0:56:17outside of London. Cities and towns across the UK, the construction
0:56:17 > 0:56:23sector has not been doing well in recent months.We are seeing the
0:56:23 > 0:56:30same trends in Bristol, Edinburgh, Glasgow. It is happening across all
0:56:30 > 0:56:37regional cities.Thank you very much. We will talk more about that
0:56:37 > 0:56:42through the morning. We will finally see the actual body of these cranes
0:56:42 > 0:56:48as the sun comes up later and we will count them for you.I am so
0:56:48 > 0:56:53glad you could do that for me on my behalf. Perhaps you can see some
0:56:53 > 0:57:02snow on the hills as well.One more thing...Not windscreens again...
0:57:02 > 0:57:07The European Championships. We have a famous commentator who went
0:57:07 > 0:57:12bananas
0:57:13 > 0:57:17bananas during the Euros with the late goal against Austria. He will
0:57:17 > 1:00:36be on at 750 this morning.
1:00:36 > 1:00:42And chilly overnight as well.
1:00:42 > 1:00:43Vanessa Fletz on BBC Radio London this
1:00:43 > 1:00:44morning from 7am.
1:00:44 > 1:00:46I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom
1:00:46 > 1:00:49in half an hour.
1:01:06 > 1:01:08Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.
1:01:08 > 1:01:11A leaked Government report predicts Britain could be worse off
1:01:11 > 1:01:13after Brexit for the next 15 years.
1:01:13 > 1:01:15The confidential document was prepared for the Brexit Secretary,
1:01:15 > 1:01:23David Davis, but Number Ten insists it fails to give the full picture.
1:01:38 > 1:01:39Good morning, it is Tuesday 30 January.
1:01:39 > 1:01:42Also this morning: A manhunt for a violent burglar behind
1:01:42 > 1:01:44a series of million-pound raids.
1:01:44 > 1:01:46Police say the levels of planning point to someone
1:01:46 > 1:01:49with military training.
1:01:49 > 1:01:52Women at the BBC tell a group of MPs they faced veiled threats
1:01:52 > 1:01:59when they raised the subject of equal pay.
1:01:59 > 1:02:05Good morning.
1:02:05 > 1:02:09Building activity at our biggest cities outside of London is at its
1:02:09 > 1:02:13highest level since the financial crisis, so I am out looking at what
1:02:13 > 1:02:15is driving the growth.
1:02:15 > 1:02:17In sport: David Beckham is back in business.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19The star has launched a football team in Miami.
1:02:19 > 1:02:23And Carol has the weather.
1:02:23 > 1:02:28Good morning. It is a cold and frosty start for some of us,
1:02:28 > 1:02:32especially in the south. For many it will be dry, with lengthy sunny
1:02:32 > 1:02:36spells today. However, in the north-west of the country, showers
1:02:36 > 1:02:40and strengthening winds and later in the south-west we will see cloud
1:02:40 > 1:02:44build with some drizzle coming in. I will explain more of that, with some
1:02:44 > 1:02:47more detail, in 15 minutes.
1:02:47 > 1:02:48Good morning.
1:02:48 > 1:02:51First, our main story: The impact of Brexit could leave Britain
1:02:51 > 1:02:53substantially worse off over the next 15 years,
1:02:53 > 1:03:00according to a leaked Government document.
1:03:00 > 1:03:02The analysis has been carried out by the office
1:03:02 > 1:03:05of the Brexit Secretary, David Davis, and has been seen
1:03:05 > 1:03:07by the online news service BuzzFeed.
1:03:07 > 1:03:09In it, three different scenarios are set out.
1:03:09 > 1:03:13The first looks at what happens if there is no EU trade deal,
1:03:13 > 1:03:15saying that would lower UK growth by 8%.
1:03:15 > 1:03:18If the UK managed to secure a full free trade agreement,
1:03:18 > 1:03:19it estimates the loss at 5%.
1:03:19 > 1:03:22Alternatively, if Britain kept access to the single market,
1:03:22 > 1:03:24a so-called soft Brexit, it predicts the impact
1:03:24 > 1:03:25would be just 2%.
1:03:25 > 1:03:28But Government sources point out that the document hasn't looked
1:03:28 > 1:03:31at the impact of Number Ten's preferred option, a bespoke trade
1:03:31 > 1:03:34deal with the EU.
1:03:34 > 1:03:36Let's speak to our political correspondent Alex Forsyth,
1:03:36 > 1:03:42who is at Westminster.
1:03:42 > 1:03:49Alex, I know this is a leaked document, but it doesn't paint a
1:03:49 > 1:03:53particularly pretty picture for the government.No, it paints a gloomy
1:03:53 > 1:03:57picture of the impact of Brexit on the British economy. As you say,
1:03:57 > 1:04:01under every model it sets out, the economy would be worse off. There
1:04:01 > 1:04:05are some good bits in here. It says is a consequence of leaving the EU
1:04:05 > 1:04:09and making trade deals with other countries, like America, that will
1:04:09 > 1:04:13have some positive effect on the economy. What it doesn't outweigh
1:04:13 > 1:04:18the overall impact of leaving. However, there is a crucial caveat,
1:04:18 > 1:04:22and that is that this leaked document doesn't look at what the
1:04:22 > 1:04:25government wants to achieve, and that is a bespoke, tailor-made deal
1:04:25 > 1:04:28with the European Union, and the government thinks it can get that
1:04:28 > 1:04:33because the UK is starting in a position, of course, being very
1:04:33 > 1:04:37close to the EU, which is in the same as any other country. So it
1:04:37 > 1:04:40says you can't look at these off-the-shelf models on their own,
1:04:40 > 1:04:45because we are looking for something quite different. Nonetheless this
1:04:45 > 1:04:47plays into Conservative Party divisions over Brexit. Those who
1:04:47 > 1:04:52didn't want the UK to leave the EU says this proves our point, and
1:04:52 > 1:04:56those who support the idea of Brexit say you can't trust these kinds of
1:04:56 > 1:05:00forecast. And with all of this infighting going on within the
1:05:00 > 1:05:04Conservative Party, we have had an interview with the international
1:05:04 > 1:05:09trade Secretary, Liam Fox. He urges this colleagues to unite behind the
1:05:09 > 1:05:13prime minister, and he says quite frankly there are some people in the
1:05:13 > 1:05:16party who will be disappointed, but this message effectively is they
1:05:16 > 1:05:21have got to put up with it. I think the danger is, rather than trying to
1:05:21 > 1:05:26calm the tensions in the Tory party, that kind of message might just
1:05:26 > 1:05:29stoke them instead.
1:05:29 > 1:05:32We will be talking more about this with BuzzFeed's political editor
1:05:32 > 1:05:35Jim Waterson before 8:00am.
1:05:35 > 1:05:38Police say a highly professional former soldier is believed to have
1:05:38 > 1:05:40carried out seven violent raids with military-style planning.
1:05:40 > 1:05:42Surrey Police have released CCTV footage of a suspect,
1:05:42 > 1:05:44who is accused of staking out expensive properties
1:05:44 > 1:05:47in the Home Counties so that he knew their exact layout
1:05:47 > 1:05:48and location of safes.
1:05:48 > 1:05:51The owners were robbed of jewellery and watches,
1:05:51 > 1:05:53while being threatened with a sawn-off shotgun.
1:05:53 > 1:05:57Caught on CCTV, the burglar police believed to have military training,
1:05:57 > 1:06:01or involved in law enforcement. Detectives say in each of the seven
1:06:01 > 1:06:05raids he has shown signs of specialist knowledge and skills,
1:06:05 > 1:06:09staking out this targets for weeks, studying their movements, and where
1:06:09 > 1:06:14they keep their valuables, before he makes this vicious move.I turned
1:06:14 > 1:06:18around chair and there was a guy in a balaklava, dressed in dark
1:06:18 > 1:06:23clothing, pointing a shotgun at my head.The intruder has stolen
1:06:23 > 1:06:28jewellery, valuables and heirlooms worth in total £1 million.We
1:06:28 > 1:06:31believe this person is not an amateur burglar. We think this is
1:06:31 > 1:06:35somebody who has specialist skills. He uses firearms and cable ties to
1:06:35 > 1:06:40do this, and he has an immense amount of planning and prepping
1:06:40 > 1:06:46before he goes and commits these offences.Targeting affluent homes
1:06:46 > 1:06:50in Berkshire, Kent, Surrey and Sussex, police say the burglar must
1:06:50 > 1:06:57now be caught to prevent further harm coming to anybody else.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59The 1.6 million people who receive the main disability benefit,
1:06:59 > 1:07:02personal independence payments, are to have their cases reviewed.
1:07:02 > 1:07:04It follows a court ruling that the Government had
1:07:04 > 1:07:06discriminated against claimants with mental health conditions.
1:07:06 > 1:07:09Officials have calculated that solving the issue will cost nearly
1:07:09 > 1:07:11£4 billion, as our social affairs correspondent
1:07:11 > 1:07:19Michael Buchanan explains.
1:07:24 > 1:07:26Homework time for Chloe Clark and her son, Mckenzie.
1:07:26 > 1:07:29She suffers from severe anxiety, and cannot live
1:07:29 > 1:07:31without a family member.
1:07:31 > 1:07:35But as her condition was caused by a psychological disorder rather than a
1:07:35 > 1:07:39physical problem, she was denied personal independence payments.
1:07:39 > 1:07:40I do feel discriminated against.
1:07:40 > 1:07:42I can't go out on my own.
1:07:42 > 1:07:48my husband had to quit work to look after me.
1:07:48 > 1:07:51I went through a long period of no contact with friends and family.
1:07:51 > 1:07:52My children, they suffered.
1:07:52 > 1:07:55Last month, the High Court found mental health payments
1:07:55 > 1:08:03for PIP were discriminatory.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06Every person on PIP will have their cases reviewed,
1:08:06 > 1:08:111.6 million people.
1:08:11 > 1:08:13At the end of the process, around 220,000 people
1:08:13 > 1:08:15will get extra money.
1:08:15 > 1:08:19The changes will cost the Government £3.7 billion by 2022-3.
1:08:19 > 1:08:24It will make a difference to a lot of people's quality of life,
1:08:24 > 1:08:27whether people can travel somewhere, afford to heat their homes,
1:08:27 > 1:08:31have additional food to eat.
1:08:31 > 1:08:33Very basic differences it will make to people's
1:08:33 > 1:08:34quality of life.
1:08:34 > 1:08:37Exactly who will benefit from the review is not clear yet,
1:08:37 > 1:08:45but for people like Chloe, there is less reason to feel anger
1:08:48 > 1:08:50towards a system they felt had ignored their illnesses.
1:08:50 > 1:08:53Women at the BBC have told MPs they faced veiled threats
1:08:53 > 1:08:56when they raised the subject of equal pay.
1:08:56 > 1:08:58The claims, which were made to the Digital, Culture,
1:08:58 > 1:09:01Media and Sport Select Committee, come as the BBC announces plans
1:09:01 > 1:09:03for a pay cap on its news presenters.
1:09:03 > 1:09:05Here is our media correspondent David Sillito.
1:09:05 > 1:09:08Some of the BBC's top news presenters have already agreed
1:09:08 > 1:09:11to have their pay cut, but this goes a step further -
1:09:11 > 1:09:14a ceiling of £320,000.
1:09:14 > 1:09:17It is still more than twice what the Prime Minister makes,
1:09:17 > 1:09:19and will only affect a handful of people.
1:09:19 > 1:09:26But it is part of a wider audit and report into staff salaries.
1:09:26 > 1:09:28One key issue is highlighted by the recent resignation
1:09:28 > 1:09:30of Carrie Gracie as the BBC's China editor.
1:09:30 > 1:09:33She says a comparable male colleague was making more than 50%
1:09:33 > 1:09:34more than her.
1:09:34 > 1:09:39This and other pay issues are now being investigated by MPs.
1:09:39 > 1:09:44What we want from the BBC is, you know, a clear explanation
1:09:44 > 1:09:48of the steps they will take to bring about an open and transparent policy
1:09:48 > 1:09:52on equal pay, and how they account for some of the pay decisions that
1:09:52 > 1:09:55were made in the past, that saw some people being paid many
1:09:55 > 1:09:58times more than their colleagues for doing what was essentially
1:09:58 > 1:09:59the same job.
1:09:59 > 1:10:02All of this follows the publication last summer of the pay deals
1:10:02 > 1:10:03of the BBC's top stars.
1:10:03 > 1:10:07The women campaigning for equal pay say they have not been consulted,
1:10:07 > 1:10:09and so have no confidence in today's report.
1:10:09 > 1:10:12But the BBC says it is committed to equal pay, and says today's
1:10:12 > 1:10:15proposals will make significant changes to the way it
1:10:15 > 1:10:16pays its on-air stars.
1:10:16 > 1:10:19David Sillito, BBC News.
1:10:19 > 1:10:23The director of the CIA says the USA is ready to take action
1:10:23 > 1:10:25against the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to prevent
1:10:25 > 1:10:26a possible nuclear attack.
1:10:26 > 1:10:28North Korea successfully launched inter-continental missiles last
1:10:28 > 1:10:31year, and the CIA director, Mike Pompeo, says they have a range
1:10:31 > 1:10:34of options to stop Kim Jong-un making further progress.
1:10:34 > 1:10:36He was talking exclusively to the BBC's security correspondent
1:10:36 > 1:10:44Gordon Corera.
1:10:51 > 1:10:55There is a set of military tasks that might have to be undertaken,
1:10:55 > 1:10:57and they would, in fact, cause enormous damage.
1:10:57 > 1:10:59And our President and our senior leaders
1:10:59 > 1:11:04are very mindful of that.
1:11:05 > 1:11:08But we are going to present a range of alternatives, other ways to
1:11:08 > 1:11:14assist in the President's policy.Do think it is possible to restrict the
1:11:14 > 1:11:18ability of Kim Jong-un to fire those missiles, to take him out or affect
1:11:18 > 1:11:25the ability to launch those missiles.Many things are possible.
1:11:25 > 1:11:29Fall asleep on a train on the surprise you are likely to wake up
1:11:29 > 1:11:36to is missing your stop, but one woman woke up to a cash gift from a
1:11:36 > 1:11:39stranger. She had been talking on the phone about her financial
1:11:39 > 1:11:43worries, took a nap, and woke up to find 100 quid tucked in a nap can on
1:11:43 > 1:11:47her lap. She said the mystery donor is a fantastic human being. --
1:11:47 > 1:11:57napkin.That is just a lovely story, we like your stories of kindness.
1:11:57 > 1:12:02Did they leave a note, or anything? No, they were just listening in,
1:12:02 > 1:12:07apparently, to the conversation. A nice thing to wake up to, isn't it?
1:12:07 > 1:12:10Although initially you would be, like Tom who has left this tissue on
1:12:10 > 1:12:18my lap?It is like when someone paid your bill in a restaurant.And I
1:12:18 > 1:12:22couldn't say thank you, because they just walked out and left.That makes
1:12:22 > 1:12:27everyone happy.
1:12:28 > 1:12:31Personal independence payments were introduced to help people
1:12:31 > 1:12:32with disabilities and health conditions.
1:12:32 > 1:12:35But last year, changes were made to the way it was awarded
1:12:35 > 1:12:38which limited the amount of support people with mental health
1:12:38 > 1:12:39conditions could receive.
1:12:39 > 1:12:41The High Court has ruled that those changes were unfair.
1:12:41 > 1:12:44Now, 1.6 million of the main disability benefit claims will be
1:12:44 > 1:12:52reviewed.
1:12:52 > 1:12:57This is kind of a series of improvements. They certainly really
1:12:57 > 1:13:00pleased me, because it shows that the government can be controlling
1:13:00 > 1:13:04and careful with money, but also spend it on the right things for
1:13:04 > 1:13:06people who are vulnerable and who need our support.
1:13:06 > 1:13:14Joining us from Westminster now is Ayaz Manji from the charity MIND.
1:13:14 > 1:13:21Sorry, that is not the right guest! Here we go. Thank you very much for
1:13:21 > 1:13:25being with us, eventually. A bit of a technical issue there. Let's grab
1:13:25 > 1:13:29a word with you about these PIP payments. Describe for us first how
1:13:29 > 1:13:35these work for people living with mental health conditions.Right, so
1:13:35 > 1:13:38the changes the government introduced last year, limited
1:13:38 > 1:13:42support for anyone who experienced overwhelming psychological distress
1:13:42 > 1:13:47related to conditions like anxiety or post-traumatic stress disorder.
1:13:47 > 1:13:50And because of that distress, couldn't leave the house most days.
1:13:50 > 1:13:56So what this extra support will mean for more than 220,000 people is that
1:13:56 > 1:13:59it will be able to pay for things like support workers, taxis, the
1:13:59 > 1:14:04people who struggle to use public transport, all the things that can
1:14:04 > 1:14:07help people live independently, and kind of make choices about their own
1:14:07 > 1:14:11lives.Have you got any examples you could give us to paint a clearer
1:14:11 > 1:14:16picture of the sort of impact that these payments have had?Absolutely,
1:14:16 > 1:14:21so a few weeks ago I was talking to somebody who experienced very severe
1:14:21 > 1:14:24post-traumatic stress disorder, and most day she can't leave the house.
1:14:24 > 1:14:27When she does she says she experiences panic attacks and very
1:14:27 > 1:14:31severe flashbacks. But she can do that if she has so many to support
1:14:31 > 1:14:36her. What she was telling me is that if she can get access to PIP than
1:14:36 > 1:14:40she could pay for somebody one day a week so that she can go out and do
1:14:40 > 1:14:44the weekly shop and do some errands, and feel like she had again more
1:14:44 > 1:14:48control over her own life. That is the kind of impact this money is
1:14:48 > 1:14:51going to have for thousands and thousands of people.The government
1:14:51 > 1:14:55has received an awful lot of criticism over this scheme. Is this
1:14:55 > 1:14:58a sign of understanding the complaints of people, and maybe the
1:14:58 > 1:15:01government moving from your perspective on the right direction?
1:15:01 > 1:15:06Absolutely, the thing that we would say is that we really shouldn't be
1:15:06 > 1:15:10in this position in the first place. When these changes were introduced,
1:15:10 > 1:15:14we were very clear that they didn't live up to the commitment to treat
1:15:14 > 1:15:18people with mental health issues equally. We see this as a step in
1:15:18 > 1:15:22the right direction and we hope it will be one step towards addressing
1:15:22 > 1:15:25the many issues we can see, because too often people with mental health
1:15:25 > 1:15:29problems experience a lot of stress and anxiety when they go in for
1:15:29 > 1:15:32these assessments.I suppose the thing is, a review is one thing, the
1:15:32 > 1:15:37most important part is what comes of that review.Absolutely, and one
1:15:37 > 1:15:40thing we are really pleased about is that the government already said
1:15:40 > 1:15:44that no one will have to go through an unnecessary face-to-face
1:15:44 > 1:15:48assessment. I think what is really important now is to find a way of
1:15:48 > 1:15:50reviewing these claims that it simple, free from pressure for
1:15:50 > 1:15:54people, and making sure that people who are entitled to have extra
1:15:54 > 1:15:58support can get that support.Thank you very much for talking to us this
1:15:58 > 1:16:08morning, I am glad we got the right guest in the end, as well!
1:16:08 > 1:16:15Just checking if Carol is there.We will talk to him about creative

1:23:45 > 1:23:46But that creativity is being hampered by cut backs to arts
1:23:46 > 1:23:48subjects in the classroom.
1:23:48 > 1:23:50That's according to a BBC survey of schools in England,
1:23:50 > 1:23:53which suggests there's been a squeeze on subjects including
1:23:53 > 1:23:54music, drama, and art.

1:24:05 > 1:24:14about Harry Potter, things like that at the film, TV, publishing,

1:24:38 > 1:24:46survey has showed that on the one hand the government is working well
1:24:46 > 1:24:50promoting the creative industry, especially around the world, but the
1:24:50 > 1:24:53problem is it is potentially strangling the pipeline, the talent
1:24:53 > 1:24:58pool, that is going into it. We will see that in ten years' time when
1:24:58 > 1:25:02this current generation of pupils goes into the job market without
1:25:02 > 1:25:06having studied important subjects like music and art, which basically
1:25:06 > 1:25:12create the content which feeds this amazing work.It is interesting. You
1:25:12 > 1:25:17will have seen the Department for Education saying it will invest £400
1:25:17 > 1:25:24million in a diverse portfolio of arts to improve access to the arts
1:25:24 > 1:25:27for all children. They maintained their risk money going in.Of

1:25:34 > 1:25:38their risk money going in.Of course. -- of a. It is being
1:25:38 > 1:25:45actively disincentivise by government. The message is you have
1:25:45 > 1:25:51to have hard court grown-up subjects and then you have these fluffy ones
1:25:51 > 1:25:58on the side. You need a mixed curriculum.
1:26:06 > 1:26:08curriculum. So-called STEM subjects are great, and the economy employs
1:26:08 > 1:26:12lots of people from those areas. But for a school to get a strong Ofsted
1:26:12 > 1:26:19report, it needs to take in all of the offers in the round, including
1:26:19 > 1:26:25incredibly strong arts provision. There is a huge emphasis on STEM
1:26:25 > 1:26:34subjects. Is that important?We are the third largest
1:26:34 > 1:26:36the third largest employer of STEM subject graduates around the
1:26:36 > 1:26:39country. There are many jobs in the creative industry that employ them.
1:26:39 > 1:26:49If you think of the
1:26:49 > 1:26:52If you think of the modern day app designer, you need technological
1:26:52 > 1:26:54knowledge, but you need creativity. Everyone is crying out for the next
1:26:54 > 1:26:58great idea. That comes from a particular way of using your mind,
1:26:58 > 1:27:03which is why the arts are absolutely vital.Thank you very much for your
1:27:03 > 1:27:09time this morning. Thank you. We will be back with the main national
1:27:09 > 1:30:29headlines
1:30:29 > 1:30:29will be back with the main national the first primary in London to move
1:30:29 > 1:30:34to a 4.5 day week due to a budget crisis that the Vanessa Feltz will
1:30:34 > 1:30:35report on that.
1:30:38 > 1:30:41Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:30:41 > 1:30:44Here is a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.
1:30:44 > 1:30:47The impact of Brexit could leave Britain substantially worse off over
1:30:47 > 1:30:50the next 15 years, according to a leaked Government document.
1:30:50 > 1:30:53The analysis of three different scenarios has been carried out
1:30:53 > 1:30:55by the office of the Brexit Secretary, David Davis,
1:30:55 > 1:30:58and has been seen by the online news service BuzzFeed.
1:30:58 > 1:31:01But Government sources point out that the document hasn't looked
1:31:01 > 1:31:04at the impact of Number Ten's preferred option, a bespoke trade
1:31:04 > 1:31:11deal with the EU.
1:31:11 > 1:31:14Police say a highly professional former soldier is believed to have
1:31:14 > 1:31:16carried out seven violent raids with military-style planning.
1:31:16 > 1:31:20Surrey Police have released CCTV footage of a suspect who is accused
1:31:20 > 1:31:22of staking out expensive properties in the Home Counties,
1:31:22 > 1:31:25so that he knew their exact layout and location of safes.
1:31:25 > 1:31:28The owners were robbed of jewellery and watches while being threatened
1:31:28 > 1:31:36with a sawn-off shotgun.
1:31:37 > 1:31:40Women at the BBC have told MPs they faced veiled threats
1:31:40 > 1:31:42when they raised the subject of equal pay.
1:31:42 > 1:31:45The claims, which were made to the Digital, Culture,
1:31:45 > 1:31:48Media and Sport Select Committee, come as the BBC announces plans
1:31:48 > 1:31:50for a pay cap on its news presenters.
1:31:50 > 1:31:53The proposed maximum salary of £320,000 will affect only
1:31:53 > 1:31:55a handful of people, but forms part of a wider
1:31:55 > 1:32:03restructuring of pay.
1:32:03 > 1:32:05The Irish cabinet has formally agreed to hold a referendum
1:32:05 > 1:32:08on liberalising the country's abortion laws at the end of May.
1:32:08 > 1:32:12The Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, said there must be an end to women
1:32:12 > 1:32:14having to go abroad for terminations.
1:32:14 > 1:32:22The Republic of Ireland currently has a near-total ban on abortion.
1:32:23 > 1:32:26A funeral service will take place later for the former footballer
1:32:26 > 1:32:29Cyrille Regis, who died earlier this month at the age of 59.
1:32:29 > 1:32:32He made his name at both West Brom and Coventry,
1:32:32 > 1:32:37and went on to play for England.
1:32:37 > 1:32:40Tributes since his death have described him as a hero,
1:32:40 > 1:32:44and a trailblazer for young black footballers.
1:32:44 > 1:32:50We will have more on that later. There will be a ceremony on one of
1:32:50 > 1:32:54the stands at the Hawthorns.
1:32:54 > 1:32:58We will have the weather with Carol in a few minutes.
1:32:58 > 1:33:03And our Weather Watchers have been on fine form.I appreciated your
1:33:03 > 1:33:13advice about using cassette is and CDs.Not boiling water, because it
1:33:13 > 1:33:17cracks the CDs. But we will deal with that on other occasions,
1:33:17 > 1:33:24because we are talking about David Beckham. Brand Beckham is expanding.
1:33:24 > 1:33:28He has been a footballer, a model, and now an owner of a football team,
1:33:28 > 1:33:33in Miami. Someone else combing it with him is the former manager of
1:33:33 > 1:33:39the Spice Girls.Is that why people are suggesting Miami Spice as a
1:33:39 > 1:33:48possible team name?Possibly because he is married to a Spice Girl. Miami
1:33:48 > 1:33:59Vice, Miami Nice, and there are several Uniteds in the MLS system,
1:33:59 > 1:34:02but obviously no Miami United.
1:34:02 > 1:34:05Beckham's new club has been announced, four years after he got
1:34:05 > 1:34:09involved with the plan.
1:34:09 > 1:34:20His first Miami team, Miami Fusion, started earlier. This is how he got
1:34:20 > 1:34:22to this point in his career.
1:34:22 > 1:34:24Beckham left Manchester United 14.5 years ago.
1:34:24 > 1:34:25He joined Spanish giants Real Madrid.
1:34:25 > 1:34:28After four years, he surprised nearly everyone by heading to west
1:34:28 > 1:34:30coast America to play for LA Galaxy.
1:34:30 > 1:34:34Another glamorous city was ticked off, as he spent two spells at AC
1:34:34 > 1:34:38Milan.
1:34:38 > 1:34:40And where else to finish but Paris.
1:34:40 > 1:34:48Beckham thinks his cosmopolitan career will help him in his new job.
1:34:55 > 1:34:58I have experienced different leagues in different cultures, and we will
1:34:58 > 1:35:03bring great players, as we have a hotbed of talent in young kids here.
1:35:03 > 1:35:06I believe if we build the right facilities and bring the right
1:35:06 > 1:35:10coaches then we will have a hell of a chance of bringing home grown
1:35:10 > 1:35:13talent into this team.
1:35:13 > 1:35:14David Beckham's former Manchester United teammate
1:35:14 > 1:35:17Phil Neville says his new job as England women's manager isn't
1:35:17 > 1:35:19a stepping stone to something else.
1:35:19 > 1:35:21During his first media outing in this role,
1:35:21 > 1:35:24he called his job "the ultimate", and hoped he could move past
1:35:24 > 1:35:27the social media controversy and get on with the job.
1:35:27 > 1:35:29Do I know everything about women's football?
1:35:29 > 1:35:32No, but I will, and that's part of my job.
1:35:32 > 1:35:34When I went to La Liga, I knew three players
1:35:34 > 1:35:36within the Valencia team.
1:35:36 > 1:35:39Within a week, I knew all about Valencia, and within six
1:35:39 > 1:35:40months I was speaking another language.
1:35:40 > 1:35:43I'm a fast learner and it's something that now I'll throw
1:35:43 > 1:35:45everything into making sure that my 100% commitment
1:35:45 > 1:35:47is to the women's game.
1:35:47 > 1:35:50It is that time when Premier League clubs check their fax machine
1:35:50 > 1:35:53is working and the chairman's mobile has got battery -
1:35:53 > 1:36:01transfer deadline day.
1:36:07 > 1:36:10It is the last chance to sign new players before the end
1:36:10 > 1:36:11of the season.
1:36:11 > 1:36:12Expect the cash to flow.
1:36:12 > 1:36:15League leaders Manchester City are set to break their transfer
1:36:15 > 1:36:18record by spending £57 million to bring in French defender Aymeric
1:36:18 > 1:36:18Laporte.
1:36:18 > 1:36:22Many of you will have probably last sseen him trying to avoid snakes
1:36:22 > 1:36:24in the jungle, but now Amir Khan is getting back
1:36:24 > 1:36:26into the boxing ring.
1:36:26 > 1:36:29He will fight Canadian Phil Lo Greco in Liverpool in April.
1:36:29 > 1:36:32Khan lost his last fight back in 2016, but says it is time
1:36:32 > 1:36:33to shine again.
1:36:33 > 1:36:35Britain's Alfie Hewett is the new number-one-ranked
1:36:35 > 1:36:36wheelchair singles tennis player.
1:36:36 > 1:36:38He says a dream has become reality.
1:36:38 > 1:36:41He is the second British man to make it to top spot,
1:36:41 > 1:36:43after his doubles partner Gordon Reid.
1:36:43 > 1:36:45He wrote on Twitter that it's been a journey.
1:36:45 > 1:36:47Many highs and lows, pain and sacrifice, tears,
1:36:47 > 1:36:48fun and enjoyment.
1:36:48 > 1:36:51After 169 Russian athletes were invited to compete as neutrals
1:36:51 > 1:36:53at the Winter Olympics over the weekend, the International
1:36:53 > 1:36:55Paralympic Committee has followed suit.
1:36:55 > 1:36:58Russian para-athletes who can prove they are clean will be allowed
1:36:58 > 1:37:00to compete as neutrals in Pyeongchang next month.
1:37:00 > 1:37:02Russia was banned from all Paralympic competition two years
1:37:02 > 1:37:10ago, after being accused of state-sponsored doping.
1:37:33 > 1:37:38And will you show some tuna tossing for us in the next one? I was
1:37:38 > 1:37:42enjoying that earlier on, and would like to see that they if possible.
1:37:42 > 1:37:50Before that, this is Nile Wilson, and how to get dressed in the
1:37:50 > 1:37:59morning.It is how we all get dressed for Breakfast, isn't it?The
1:37:59 > 1:38:05only problem I see is having two assistance to help you.It would be
1:38:05 > 1:38:10very difficult to get the shorts floating.Here's British gymnastics
1:38:10 > 1:38:17royalty, and that is how royalty get dressed.He will be back after eight
1:38:17 > 1:38:22a.m..In the World Cup, as a precursor to getting into the
1:38:22 > 1:38:29Olympics team.We said that Carol had had some beautiful pictures for
1:38:29 > 1:38:33us, this is the sunrise in Manchester.This is what I have been
1:38:33 > 1:38:38asking for all morning, absolutely beautiful.And shone has been
1:38:38 > 1:38:41talking about the construction industry, asking you to count
1:38:41 > 1:38:47cranes. And the beautiful shot of Manchester this morning.
1:38:47 > 1:38:50Theresa May travels to China today, but it is likely that the agenda
1:38:50 > 1:38:52will be dominated by Brexit.
1:38:52 > 1:38:54It is after a Government document was leaked which suggested
1:38:54 > 1:38:57that the economy will slow down after we leave the EU.
1:38:57 > 1:39:00The internal analysis seen by the news website BuzzFeed
1:39:00 > 1:39:02simulated three different scenarios for Brexit.
1:39:02 > 1:39:04In each, the UK was left in a worse financial situation
1:39:04 > 1:39:06than if we remained in the Union.
1:39:06 > 1:39:09But the Government says it fails to cover Number Ten's preferred
1:39:09 > 1:39:11scenario of a bespoke trade deal.
1:39:11 > 1:39:19Let's speak to Jim Waterson, BuzzFeed's political editor.
1:39:22 > 1:39:26Thank you very much. Tell us a little bit about this document. It
1:39:26 > 1:39:29was designed for the Brexit secretary and has these different
1:39:29 > 1:39:34scenarios.Yes, so this document should not be out there. The one
1:39:34 > 1:39:38thing the government didn't want was for it to leak and you can read it
1:39:38 > 1:39:43on BuzzFeed right now. The problem is it shows every scenario about
1:39:43 > 1:39:47what the economy will do after Brexit, and in the three they looked
1:39:47 > 1:39:51at, it will grow at a slower rate than if they were in the EU. In
1:39:51 > 1:39:55short, the British economy won't be as big in 15 years' time on this
1:39:55 > 1:39:59analysis as if we had stayed with the status quo. This is very
1:39:59 > 1:40:03embarrassing as it was supposed to be only shown to Cabinet ministers
1:40:03 > 1:40:07one-on-one, and it was to be shown as a paper copy and taken away from
1:40:07 > 1:40:11them, to make sure no one leaked it to the media. It would be
1:40:11 > 1:40:14embarrassing for the government who insisted that the exit would be a
1:40:14 > 1:40:19boon to the British economy.They have reacted and said Tom and this
1:40:19 > 1:40:22is what they have said this morning, it has not looked at a bespoke trade
1:40:22 > 1:40:29deal.Yes, it doesn't look at an option which we don't know what it
1:40:29 > 1:40:32would look like, and if it would even be possible. Even its own
1:40:32 > 1:40:36economists can't look at a trade deal which doesn't exist, and which
1:40:36 > 1:40:40hasn't been agreed. This is what it comes down to with Brexit. The
1:40:40 > 1:40:45analysis shows, according to the prepackaged options on the table,
1:40:45 > 1:40:48the West Midlands and Northern Ireland would be the worst hit,
1:40:48 > 1:40:52chemicals and manufacturing would be the sectors worst hit, and the city
1:40:52 > 1:40:55of London would take a hit to its financial sector, and the
1:40:55 > 1:40:59government's response to all of this is trust us on this. BuzzFeed have
1:40:59 > 1:41:03leaked document showing everything is going to be worse. The only
1:41:03 > 1:41:07response we have is, honestly, we will come up with a better package.
1:41:07 > 1:41:12Your viewers can make their mind up whether they trust the government on
1:41:12 > 1:41:19this, or whether they trust the analysis of the existing options.
1:41:19 > 1:41:23Lets turn to Jacob Rees-Mogg saying forecasts have proven to be wide of
1:41:23 > 1:41:29the mark before, that is what he has said.Of course they are, this is a
1:41:29 > 1:41:32forecast. What I would suggest is that when all the forecasts are
1:41:32 > 1:41:35pointing in the same direction, you can read something into it. We're
1:41:35 > 1:41:41not talking about a margin of error but the worst scenario of the
1:41:41 > 1:41:45economy growing 8% less in the years ahead than if we had stayed in the
1:41:45 > 1:41:49EU. We are also hearing about the free trade deals we are hearing
1:41:49 > 1:41:53about striking with China and the US adding 0.2%. In contrast, leaving
1:41:53 > 1:42:02takes an 8% hit, and deals with the EU and China had 0.2%. The issue is,
1:42:02 > 1:42:05do you believe that the government can strike a bespoke deal which
1:42:05 > 1:42:09would overcome everything in this report. At the moment, the people
1:42:09 > 1:42:12who prepared this report for the government, and the reason they
1:42:12 > 1:42:16didn't want it out there, is that it is such bad news for a key plank of
1:42:16 > 1:42:21what the government's policy is. Presumably you have looked at the
1:42:21 > 1:42:24impact on the electorate, and beforehand there were warnings about
1:42:24 > 1:42:29what might happen if we were to leave, and still that was the vote.
1:42:29 > 1:42:34Absolutely, and there will be people watching who were willing to take a
1:42:34 > 1:42:37hit in order to take control of the Borders and things like that. But
1:42:37 > 1:42:41this is something we need to take on board. Since the referendum, there
1:42:41 > 1:42:46has been a narrative that Brexit was successful, and we must move on with
1:42:46 > 1:42:51that. But things have not changed that much in terms of the economic
1:42:51 > 1:42:55modelling. We have not seen a market change in how the Economist who
1:42:55 > 1:43:00provide the information that ministers based their decision on,
1:43:00 > 1:43:04that has not changed, and these are the secret documents which unless we
1:43:04 > 1:43:07had leaked them, people would not know about.Thank you for your time
1:43:07 > 1:43:10on Breakfast.
1:43:10 > 1:43:14Here is Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
1:43:14 > 1:43:16We have seen this beautiful shot of Manchester this morning,
1:43:16 > 1:43:17We have seen this beautiful shot of Manchester this morning, where Sean
1:43:17 > 1:43:22will be later on, and Carol has a frosty bench behind her.Good
1:43:22 > 1:43:26morning to you both and good morning to you. Frosty for many of us,
1:43:26 > 1:43:29especially as you come south. Temperatures are good 15 degrees
1:43:29 > 1:43:34lower than they were this time yesterday, for example, in Benson in
1:43:34 > 1:43:37Oxfordshire. Not so across the north-west of the country, where we
1:43:37 > 1:43:41have all this cloud piling in from the Atlantic, it has been producing
1:43:41 > 1:43:45showers all night across north and north-west Scotland, following snow
1:43:45 > 1:43:48in the mountains, and although it is breezy the wind will strengthen
1:43:48 > 1:43:53strengthened through the day. The rest of us are off to a good start,
1:43:53 > 1:43:57but through the morning and into the afternoon, more cloud will start to
1:43:57 > 1:44:01build across the Isles of Scilly, Cornwall and Devon. That will
1:44:01 > 1:44:05introduce some drizzly conditions. Ahead of that, a fine afternoon. It
1:44:05 > 1:44:09will be chilly, but there will be sunny intervals. A bit more cloud
1:44:09 > 1:44:13building across Wales and into the Midlands. As we push through
1:44:13 > 1:44:17Cambridgeshire, into East Anglia and Kent, we hang on to the sunshine.
1:44:17 > 1:44:21More cloud coming across northern England. In between there will be
1:44:21 > 1:44:23sunshine, and more cloud coming across Northern Ireland. Showers
1:44:23 > 1:44:27continuing across Scotland in the north and the west. The southern and
1:44:27 > 1:44:31eastern Scotland it should stay dry. As we head to the evening and
1:44:31 > 1:44:35overnight, the showers turned a bit heavier. The wind strengthens, gales
1:44:35 > 1:44:42with exposure, snow in the hills as the system sinks South at the same
1:44:42 > 1:44:45time, another sister moved eastwards. The two meet in the
1:44:45 > 1:44:48middle and behind it we are looking at colder air. So the snow will
1:44:48 > 1:44:52start to come down to lower levels, but they are showers. Ahead of it,
1:44:52 > 1:44:57we are still in the milder conditions. A much milder start
1:44:57 > 1:45:00tomorrow across southern England and we had this morning. As these
1:45:00 > 1:45:04weather fronts move south eastwards, they will take the rain with them,
1:45:04 > 1:45:08allowing the cold at the filter in behind. And it will be quite day
1:45:08 > 1:45:14tomorrow. So the milder yellow is usurped by the cold blue coming our
1:45:14 > 1:45:18way. It will feel colder than it is going to do today, despite the fact
1:45:18 > 1:45:22that when we lose the rain from the south-east there will be sunshine.
1:45:22 > 1:45:26That is half the story, because they will also be showers. In the south,
1:45:26 > 1:45:30the showers will be as rain. You may see a little bit of sleep, but that
1:45:30 > 1:45:33will be all. Across Scotland, northern England and Northern
1:45:33 > 1:45:37Ireland, some of the showers will be as snow, even to lower levels, and
1:45:37 > 1:45:42we are talking modest levels, down to 200m or so. In the sunshine,
1:45:42 > 1:45:46highs of seven to ten. But still feeling cold as we pushed further
1:45:46 > 1:45:51north, with four or five.
1:45:54 > 1:46:01I was looking in the wrong direction. I was
1:46:02 > 1:46:04direction. I was looking at Sean, who is out and about counting
1:46:04 > 1:46:08cranes. We are talking about how things are going in the building
1:46:08 > 1:46:14industry. Good morning.Good morning. We have cranes and hills.
1:46:14 > 1:46:23You can see them in Manchester now. You can see those four now, the sun
1:46:23 > 1:46:28is up. 17- 18 are popping up in Manchester this year. We are looking
1:46:28 > 1:46:33at building in the biggest cities outside of London.A survey has been
1:46:33 > 1:46:40put together by a consultancy firm that looks at how much building is
1:46:40 > 1:46:44going on in cities outside of London than previously. They believe we are
1:46:44 > 1:46:50at levels not seen since before the financial crisis. What is driving
1:46:50 > 1:46:54this? I went to one of the most iconic buildings in Manchester and
1:46:54 > 1:47:02talked to the designer who built it and leaves in a penthouse inside it.
1:47:02 > 1:47:04-- lives.
1:47:04 > 1:47:07I think of this as a sanctuary from the city.
1:47:07 > 1:47:08It's 45 minutes from the street.
1:47:08 > 1:47:10But the city is in front of you.
1:47:10 > 1:47:15You have the landscape and the sky around you.
1:47:15 > 1:47:17You can see an amazing view of Manchester.
1:47:17 > 1:47:19How has it changed in the last few years?
1:47:19 > 1:47:23What has really changed is we do not have as many derelict car parks,
1:47:23 > 1:47:26we actually have buildings filling in the little gaps.
1:47:26 > 1:47:28We are getting a much more tighter packed city,
1:47:28 > 1:47:30a much more European city.
1:47:30 > 1:47:33We are looking at this league table of county cranes.
1:47:33 > 1:47:39Is that a good way of measuring how well a city is doing?
1:47:39 > 1:47:41It is really important about expressing confidence
1:47:41 > 1:47:41within a city.
1:47:41 > 1:47:44To me, a demonstration of that is buildings,
1:47:44 > 1:47:46because we are providing new offices, new homes,
1:47:46 > 1:47:54hotels or visitors to the city.
1:47:55 > 1:47:59Is there a danger when all this building is going on that commuters
1:47:59 > 1:48:02can be forgotten?
1:48:02 > 1:48:05We are creating a community and little bit in the city centre.
1:48:05 > 1:48:08In the last 20 years we have seen a transformation.
1:48:08 > 1:48:10But it is important every building is thought about carefully,
1:48:10 > 1:48:13making sure it fits its context and serves its purpose
1:48:13 > 1:48:21and is a beautiful addition to the skyline of the city.
1:48:23 > 1:48:33Many buildings being built, office, residential, many different types.
1:48:33 > 1:48:42You put this survey together this morning. What are you seeing built?
1:48:42 > 1:48:49We are seeing many forms of development. This is a strong one
1:48:49 > 1:48:55for regional cities. Belfast, 1000 new hotel bedrooms. A phenomenal
1:48:55 > 1:49:02achievement by this city. Leeds, offices, residential, the first time
1:49:02 > 1:49:06in a while. Manchester, across-the-board. Birmingham, a
1:49:06 > 1:49:12strong year with offices and residential development. Strong
1:49:12 > 1:49:16growth across all regional cities. You are focusing on student
1:49:16 > 1:49:21buildings in particular. You are part of those who develop them.
1:49:21 > 1:49:27Where it argues in the particular areas that want more student
1:49:27 > 1:49:36buildings? -- are you seeing. Manchester, global cities in the
1:49:36 > 1:49:40scheme of things. Manchester is in the top 30 of universities. They
1:49:40 > 1:49:45invest heavily in research functions. It is about appealing to
1:49:45 > 1:49:48an international market as well as domestic students which is helping
1:49:48 > 1:49:52to drive growth of universities. The provision of well-managed
1:49:52 > 1:49:57purpose-built university buildings helps that growth.Do you find
1:49:57 > 1:50:01international students can afford city centre student living a little
1:50:01 > 1:50:07more than British students can? There is certainly a trend for
1:50:07 > 1:50:13international students in that regard. We have a spread of domestic
1:50:13 > 1:50:16and international students to stay with us. For many people, it is
1:50:16 > 1:50:21about recognising value for money to be it is not just about what you are
1:50:21 > 1:50:24paying, but what you are getting for that. The service you experience,
1:50:24 > 1:50:29the quality of the accommodation. The experience you get while living
1:50:29 > 1:50:32somewhere which is important across-the-board.Thank you very
1:50:32 > 1:50:36much. We will talk later on about the affordability of the residential
1:50:36 > 1:50:43buildings. Not just here, across the country. Students as well. Not just
1:50:43 > 1:50:48offices. A lot of building going on in cities outside London.A
1:50:48 > 1:50:55wonderful morning. Thank you very much.750. Do you remember this?
1:50:55 > 1:51:02Yes! Yes!
1:51:02 > 1:51:24Yes! Yes! SCREAMING.That is a video from the 2016 Euros, two years ago.
1:51:24 > 1:51:27An Icelandic commentator getting... Too excited? I don't think you can
1:51:27 > 1:51:30say that. They beat Austria. We know what happened after that. England.
1:51:30 > 1:51:34But I am delighted to say that man is with us this morning. Watching
1:51:34 > 1:51:37that back and listening to it, can you remember what you are seeing?I
1:51:37 > 1:51:44cannot remember, but it gives me goosebumps.When you are watching
1:51:44 > 1:51:49your face filled with excitement.It was a huge moment for our country,
1:51:49 > 1:51:55you know? I feel really good now. After seeing it again.When you go
1:51:55 > 1:52:01back to
1:52:04 > 1:52:08back to memories of 2016, the world woke up to Iceland as a footballing
1:52:08 > 1:52:12nation. From your perspective, what was like back at home to do so well
1:52:12 > 1:52:15in major tournament?It changed everything for us. Iceland is now on
1:52:15 > 1:52:24the football map. We are going to a World Cup. It is all over the place.
1:52:24 > 1:52:33It is, you know, it has given everyone in Iceland hope. All of the
1:52:33 > 1:52:37young people doing sport, you know, they now can see anything is
1:52:37 > 1:52:45possible because we went to the Euros and now the World Cup. I think
1:52:45 > 1:52:48you will see us only get stronger because everyone believes in Iceland
1:52:48 > 1:52:56we can do anything.Can you give us a bit of that! It is really nice.
1:52:56 > 1:53:05You have inspired the Thunder Clap. How did it start?There are many
1:53:05 > 1:53:09stories about how it started. The best story I heard was that, I think
1:53:09 > 1:53:14there was someone from Scotland, Motherwell, they went to play in
1:53:14 > 1:53:22Iceland, and they had a few fans with them and they started
1:53:22 > 1:53:25with them and they started doing the Viking Clap. I think we stole it
1:53:25 > 1:53:30from the Scottish guys.Nothing wrong with that. Everyone thinks it
1:53:30 > 1:53:38is Icelandic. Thank you. Everyone says, hang on, we invented that! We
1:53:38 > 1:53:45have seen many Icelandic players coming here, like the Sigurdsson and
1:53:45 > 1:53:51others as well. Where have they come from? The population of Iceland, we
1:53:51 > 1:53:54talk about it as being the same size of Birmingham, somewhere like that
1:53:54 > 1:54:02in England. Lot it is a mixture of things. Everyone speaks about the
1:54:02 > 1:54:05facilities and coaching. But you also have to be lucky. Everything
1:54:05 > 1:54:13has to get together to have success like we have
1:54:14 > 1:54:22like we have had in the Euros, and hopefully in the World
1:54:22 > 1:54:27hopefully in the World Cup. We have places where you can train in the
1:54:27 > 1:54:32winter.When I was young, you could not do that. You had to train in a
1:54:32 > 1:54:37basketball court. We have the new facilities. It has changed with
1:54:37 > 1:54:43artificial grass. Hopefully, we can get more. We need more. The
1:54:43 > 1:54:48facilities are better, but they are not good enough.What about coaching
1:54:48 > 1:54:58structure's you have many coaches wanting to play's -- structure?
1:54:58 > 1:55:02Iceland has done well with coaches. Hopefully we only get better.
1:55:02 > 1:55:10Mostly, I think I want to say we live on an island in Iceland. If you
1:55:10 > 1:55:14want to be a professional football player, you have to work a little
1:55:14 > 1:55:19more. If you come from England and you want to be a professional
1:55:19 > 1:55:24football player you can in England. But we always have to be
1:55:24 > 1:55:31exceptionally good so someone takes us away from the island. We have to
1:55:31 > 1:55:35give something extra.You are making a documentary about Icelandic
1:55:35 > 1:55:40success, footballers around the world. How well could Iceland to in
1:55:40 > 1:55:46the World Cup? The knockout stages? I have been speaking to almost all
1:55:46 > 1:55:54of the players, and they had this big belief, you know, that... So, I
1:55:54 > 1:55:57am convinced we will go to the knockout stages. And even further.
1:55:57 > 1:56:03Because... The players, they somehow give me this big belief when I am
1:56:03 > 1:56:08speaking to them. I start to believe.Well, very good luck.Thank
1:56:08 > 1:56:14you very much.Can you please avoid England.I was going to say that.
1:56:14 > 1:56:22Lovely to meet you.Thank you.Good to see the face we have seen so many
1:56:22 > 1:56:28times to be coming up in the programme.All we need to do is look
1:56:28 > 1:56:33up. Just like our ancestors. Marvelling at the wonders of the
1:56:33 > 1:56:42moon.I love moon-gazing. We will chat to two astronomer is about a
1:56:42 > 1:56:47new documentary about the moon and why it is so compelling. --
1:56:47 > 1:56:56astonomers. How long would it take to walk to the moon?Nine years.
1:56:56 > 1:57:03Exactly!Not possible!You can now go and listen to some news, travel,
1:57:03 > 2:00:22and weather,
2:00:22 > 2:00:29The mayor of Newham
2:00:34 > 2:00:36This is Breakfast. A leaked government report predicts Britain
2:00:36 > 2:00:40could be worse off after Britain for the next 15 years.The confidential
2:00:40 > 2:00:44document was prepared for the Brexit Secretary, David Davis. But Number
2:00:44 > 2:00:56Ten insists it fails to give the full picture.
2:01:00 > 2:01:05Good morning. It's Tuesday, the 30th of January. Also this morning: a
2:01:05 > 2:01:09manhunt for a burglar behind a series of violent rates. Police said
2:01:09 > 2:01:13the levels of planning point to someone with military training.
2:01:13 > 2:01:16Women at the BBC tell a group of MPs they faced veiled threats when they
2:01:16 > 2:01:24raised the subject of equal pay. Building activity in our biggest
2:01:24 > 2:01:26cities outside of London is at levels not seen since before the
2:01:26 > 2:01:30financial crisis according to one report out today. So I'm in
2:01:30 > 2:01:35Manchester, counting cranes to see what is behind the growth.In sport,
2:01:35 > 2:01:38David Beckham is back in business - the star has launched a football
2:01:38 > 2:01:47team in Miami.He has won Olympic bronze, took silver at the world but
2:01:47 > 2:01:51most aggressively, you can get dressed like this. The British
2:01:51 > 2:01:55gymnast Nile Wilson will be here in about half an hour to tell us
2:01:55 > 2:02:02exactly how that works. And Carol has the weather.For some of us,
2:02:02 > 2:02:05it's a good 15 degrees colder than it was this time yesterday. But
2:02:05 > 2:02:09there will be a lot of dry weather and sunshine around today except
2:02:09 > 2:02:14across north-western Scotland where we have showers and strengthening
2:02:14 > 2:02:22winds and later some cloud and drizzle across Devon and Cornwall.
2:02:22 > 2:02:28We start with our main story, the impact of Brexit could leave Britain
2:02:28 > 2:02:31substantially worse off over the next 15 years, according to a leaked
2:02:31 > 2:02:36government document. The analysis has been carried out by the office
2:02:36 > 2:02:40of the Brexit Secretary David Davis and has been seen by the online news
2:02:40 > 2:02:45service Buzzfeed. In it, three different scenarios are set out: the
2:02:45 > 2:02:48first looks at what happens if there is no EU trade deal, saying that
2:02:48 > 2:02:55would lower UK growth by 8%. If the UK managed to secure a full free
2:02:55 > 2:02:59trade agreement, it estimates the loss at 5%. Alternatively, if
2:02:59 > 2:03:02Britain kept access to the single market, a so-called soft Brexit, it
2:03:02 > 2:03:07predicts the impact would be just 2%. But government sources point out
2:03:07 > 2:03:11that the document hasn't looked at the impact of Number Ten's preferred
2:03:11 > 2:03:16option, a bespoke trade deal with the EU. Let's speak to our
2:03:16 > 2:03:20correspondent Alex Forsyth at Westminster. So they have been going
2:03:20 > 2:03:25through the numbers, I understand the public were not meant to see
2:03:25 > 2:03:30this?No, this is a private document, an internal analysis
2:03:30 > 2:03:34looking at various aspects of Brexit and the impact on the economy. It
2:03:34 > 2:03:39was apparently meant to be for ministers' eyes only. It has been
2:03:39 > 2:03:43leaked and it doesn't make a pretty picture for the government, because
2:03:43 > 2:03:46the government is keen to stress the positive aspects of Brexit and save
2:03:46 > 2:03:52it is going to be a success for Britain. But this shows that under
2:03:52 > 2:03:57all the scenarios it models, the UK economy would effectively be worse
2:03:57 > 2:04:03off. This document was leaked to Buzzfeed news. Earlier, their
2:04:03 > 2:04:09political editor explained what he thought the impact was.This is very
2:04:09 > 2:04:12embarrassing, because it was supposed to only be shown to Cabinet
2:04:12 > 2:04:15ministers. They were to be shown it by the top civil servants and it was
2:04:15 > 2:04:19to be shown as a paper copy and taken away from them to make sure no
2:04:19 > 2:04:21one ever linked it to the media because it would be embarrassing for
2:04:21 > 2:04:24the government, who insist that Brexit will be a boom for the
2:04:24 > 2:04:28economy. These are the secret documents which, unless we had
2:04:28 > 2:04:32leaked them, the British public would not know about.The government
2:04:32 > 2:04:36says the floor in this analysis is that it doesn't look at what the
2:04:36 > 2:04:40government is trying to achieve, which is getting a bespoke trade
2:04:40 > 2:04:43deal, something tailor-made, not an off-the-shelf model. It says that
2:04:43 > 2:04:46hasn't been included in this analysis, so you have to take it
2:04:46 > 2:04:51with a pinch of salt. Nonetheless, this fuels the divisions of the
2:04:51 > 2:04:54Conservative Party. Those who never wanted the UK to leave the EU says
2:04:54 > 2:05:00it proves that point. Others who support Brexit sake, you can never
2:05:00 > 2:05:03trust this modelling. It is flawed. And with all that squabbling going
2:05:03 > 2:05:06on, we have had an interview today from the International Trade
2:05:06 > 2:05:12Secretary Liam Fox. He has spoken to the Sun and he urges his colleagues
2:05:12 > 2:05:16to get behind the Prime Minister Theresa May, and he has a stern
2:05:16 > 2:05:20message. He says that some people are going to be disappointed, and
2:05:20 > 2:05:25they are effectively going to have to put up with it. The idea is
2:05:25 > 2:05:27clearly to calm this fighting, but it might end up just stoking
2:05:27 > 2:05:34tensions.Thank you. Police have released CCTV footage of
2:05:34 > 2:05:38a suspected armed burglar dubbed the night watcher. Detectives say a
2:05:38 > 2:05:43former soldier has raided seven properties in the Home Counties,
2:05:43 > 2:05:46stealing jewellery and other valuables with a total of around £1
2:05:46 > 2:05:49million.
2:05:49 > 2:05:52Caught on CCTV, the burglar police believe to have military training,
2:05:52 > 2:05:55or be involved in law enforcement.
2:05:55 > 2:06:00Detectives say, in each of the seven raids, he has shown signs
2:06:00 > 2:06:04of specialist knowledge and skills, staking out his targets for weeks,
2:06:04 > 2:06:08studying their movements and where they keep their valuables,
2:06:08 > 2:06:13before he makes his vicious move.
2:06:13 > 2:06:18He was huge. He was enormous.Susan Morrison feared she would be
2:06:18 > 2:06:22sexually assaulted and killed when her house were targeted.He hit me
2:06:22 > 2:06:26three times on my face. It was very, very painful. I couldn't believe the
2:06:26 > 2:06:32blows kept coming. So I took him to the jewellery. I gave him the
2:06:32 > 2:06:34jewellery. It was very frightening.
2:06:34 > 2:06:36The intruder has stolen jewellery, valuables and heirlooms,
2:06:36 > 2:06:42worth in total £1 million.
2:06:42 > 2:06:45Detectives believe the raids occur every six months, possibly as the
2:06:45 > 2:06:47offender needs more money.
2:06:47 > 2:06:49We believe this person is not an amateur burglar.
2:06:49 > 2:06:52We think this is somebody who has specialist skills.
2:06:52 > 2:06:55He uses firearms and cable ties to do this, and he has an immense
2:06:55 > 2:06:57amount of planning and prepping before he goes and
2:06:57 > 2:06:59commits these offences.
2:06:59 > 2:07:04Targeting affluent homes in Berkshire, Kent, Surrey
2:07:04 > 2:07:07and Sussex, police say the burglar must now be caught to prevent
2:07:07 > 2:07:15further harm coming to anybody else.
2:07:17 > 2:07:20The 1.6 million people who receive the main disability benefit,
2:07:20 > 2:07:24personal independent payments, are to have their cases reviewed. This
2:07:24 > 2:07:27follows a court ruling that the government had discriminated against
2:07:27 > 2:07:31claimants with mental health conditions. Officials have
2:07:31 > 2:07:35calculated that solving the issue will cost nearly £4 billion.
2:07:35 > 2:07:43Homework time for Chloe Clark and her son, Mckenzie.
2:07:43 > 2:07:46The mum of three suffers from severe anxiety, and cannot live
2:07:46 > 2:07:47without a family member.
2:07:47 > 2:07:49But as her condition was caused by a psychological disorder rather
2:07:49 > 2:07:51than a physical problem, she was denied personal
2:07:51 > 2:07:57independence payments.
2:07:57 > 2:07:58I did feel discriminated against.
2:07:58 > 2:08:00I can't go out on my own.
2:08:00 > 2:08:02My husband had to quit work to look after me.
2:08:02 > 2:08:05I went through a long period of no contact with friends and family.
2:08:05 > 2:08:13My children, they suffered.
2:08:14 > 2:08:17Last month, the High Court found mental health claimants for PIP
2:08:17 > 2:08:20were being blatantly discriminated against.
2:08:20 > 2:08:23Every person on PIP will have their cases reviewed.
2:08:23 > 2:08:24That is 1.6 million people.
2:08:24 > 2:08:26At the end of the process, around 220,000 people
2:08:26 > 2:08:29will get extra money.
2:08:29 > 2:08:36The changes will cost the Government £3.7 billion by 2022-23.
2:08:36 > 2:08:39It will make a difference to a lot of people's quality of life,
2:08:39 > 2:08:41whether people can travel somewhere, afford to heat their homes,
2:08:41 > 2:08:47have additional food to eat.
2:08:47 > 2:08:50Very basic differences it will make to people's quality of life.
2:08:50 > 2:08:55Exactly who will benefit from the review is not clear yet,
2:08:55 > 2:08:58but for people like Chloe, there is less reason to feel anger
2:08:58 > 2:09:02towards a system they felt had ignored their illnesses.
2:09:02 > 2:09:06Women at the BBC have told MPs they faced "veiled threats"
2:09:06 > 2:09:10when they raised the subject of equal pay.
2:09:10 > 2:09:12The claims, which were made to the Digital, Culture,
2:09:12 > 2:09:15Media and Sport Select Committee, come as the BBC announces
2:09:15 > 2:09:18plans for a pay cap on its news presenters.
2:09:18 > 2:09:23Here's our Media Correspondent, David Sillito.
2:09:23 > 2:09:26Some of the BBC's top news presenters have already agreed
2:09:26 > 2:09:29to have their pay cut, but this goes a step further -
2:09:29 > 2:09:31a ceiling of £320,000.
2:09:31 > 2:09:34It is still more than twice what the Prime Minister makes,
2:09:34 > 2:09:38and will only affect a handful of people.
2:09:38 > 2:09:41But it's part of a wider audit and report into star salaries.
2:09:41 > 2:09:43One key issue is highlighted by the recent resignation
2:09:43 > 2:09:45of Carrie Gracie as the BBC's China editor.
2:09:45 > 2:09:47She says a comparable male colleague was making more
2:09:47 > 2:09:51than 50% more than her.
2:09:51 > 2:09:55This and other pay issues are now being investigated by MPs.
2:09:55 > 2:09:59What we want from the BBC is, you know, a clear explanation
2:09:59 > 2:10:01of the steps they will take to bring about an open and transparent
2:10:01 > 2:10:04policy on equal pay, and how they account for some
2:10:04 > 2:10:06of the pay decisions that were made in the past,
2:10:06 > 2:10:09that saw some people being paid many times more than their
2:10:09 > 2:10:13colleagues for doing what was essentially the same job.
2:10:13 > 2:10:16All of this follows the publication last summer of the pay deals
2:10:16 > 2:10:20of the BBC's top stars.
2:10:20 > 2:10:23The women campaigning for equal pay say they have not been consulted,
2:10:23 > 2:10:25and so have no confidence in today's report.
2:10:25 > 2:10:30But the BBC says it is committed to equal pay, and says today's
2:10:30 > 2:10:33proposals will make significant changes to the way it
2:10:33 > 2:10:34pays its on-air stars.
2:10:34 > 2:10:42David Sillito, BBC News.
2:10:44 > 2:10:47Those proposals will be revealed just after ten o'clock this morning.
2:10:47 > 2:10:50The director of the CIA says the USA is ready to take action
2:10:50 > 2:10:53against the North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to prevent
2:10:53 > 2:10:54a possible nuclear attack.
2:10:54 > 2:10:55North Korea successfully launched inter-continental missiles last year
2:10:55 > 2:10:59and the CIA director Mike Pompeo says they have a range of options
2:10:59 > 2:11:01to stop King Jong-un making further progress.
2:11:01 > 2:11:03He was talking exclusively to the BBC's Security
2:11:03 > 2:11:07Correspondent, Gordon Corera.
2:11:07 > 2:11:12There is a set of military tasks that might have to be undertaken,
2:11:12 > 2:11:17and they would, in fact, cause enormous damage,
2:11:17 > 2:11:21and our President and our senior leaders are very mindful of that.
2:11:21 > 2:11:26But we're going to present a range of alternatives,
2:11:26 > 2:11:28other ways to assist in the President's policy.
2:11:28 > 2:11:31Do think it is possible to restrict the ability of Kim Jong-un
2:11:31 > 2:11:34to fire those missiles, to take him out, or affect the
2:11:34 > 2:11:35ability to launch those missiles?
2:11:35 > 2:11:43Many things are possible.
2:11:54 > 2:11:57The most popular subject for Mastermind is the Harry Potter
2:11:57 > 2:12:02books. Last year, 200 people tried to do the Harry Potter books, but
2:12:02 > 2:12:05only one person per series is allowed to do Harry Potter. Other
2:12:05 > 2:12:12subjects they get turned down our Blackadder and Father Ted. Last
2:12:12 > 2:12:16year, 32 people wanted to do Fawlty Towers. 19 wanted to do Blackadder
2:12:16 > 2:12:19and 22 wanted to do Father Ted. The producer has been giving an
2:12:19 > 2:12:23interview to Radio Times saying it is impossible, because we can't come
2:12:23 > 2:12:29up with any more questions.I was turned down for Friends. I have seen
2:12:29 > 2:12:33every episode so many times. They said, you have to pick something
2:12:33 > 2:12:38else. Since I have been on, I keep seeing people. They only allow it
2:12:38 > 2:12:44once a year.
2:12:44 > 2:12:46Quite a few of the Breakfast team have been on Mastermind
2:12:46 > 2:12:47over the years.
2:12:47 > 2:12:48Irvine Welsh.
2:12:48 > 2:12:51Linton Travel Tavern.
2:12:51 > 2:12:54Pituitary gland.
2:12:54 > 2:12:55127 Hours.
2:12:55 > 2:12:57He has a 12-inch plate.
2:12:57 > 2:12:58Keratin.
2:12:58 > 2:13:00Fallopian.
2:13:00 > 2:13:01Icarus.
2:13:01 > 2:13:05A dead cow.
2:13:05 > 2:13:07And you were all right up to there.
2:13:07 > 2:13:08You knew that, didn't you?
2:13:08 > 2:13:14Absolutely.
2:13:14 > 2:13:18Somali, you are very cool under pressure. When I did it and he asked
2:13:18 > 2:13:22the first question, he could have asked the names of my children and I
2:13:22 > 2:13:25wouldn't have remembered.That was what happened to me. Once I got one
2:13:25 > 2:13:30wrong, you keep thinking about that and the pressure of the chair. It is
2:13:30 > 2:13:40very traumatic.You did the human body. Mike Bushell's subject was?
2:13:40 > 2:13:48Alan Partridge.And Tim Muffett did the films of Danny Boyle. So both of
2:13:48 > 2:13:56you have been on it? I think the footage doesn't exist any more.That
2:13:56 > 2:13:59means you are due back on it again. One contestant asked if they could
2:13:59 > 2:14:02just do meet us that specialist subject and they said, you can't do
2:14:02 > 2:14:09that, it is too broad. So he said, can I do pork?Maybe he was a
2:14:09 > 2:14:13butcher.How do you come up with that many questions about pork?They
2:14:13 > 2:14:18said no.The show was devised by a guy called Bill White and he drew on
2:14:18 > 2:14:21personal experience of being interrogated during World War II as
2:14:21 > 2:14:28a prisoner of war. Thank you.
2:14:28 > 2:14:31In the next few minutes, the funeral procession
2:14:31 > 2:14:34for Cyrille Regis is due to arrive at the stadium of
2:14:34 > 2:14:37West Bromwich Albion - the place where he made his name
2:14:37 > 2:14:40as a player and became a role model for young black footballers.
2:14:40 > 2:14:42Let's join our correspondent Phil Mackie who's outside
2:14:42 > 2:14:46the Hawthorns for us now.
2:14:46 > 2:14:49Many people are expected to pay their respect to a man who was loved
2:14:49 > 2:14:55not just throughout the Midlands, but across the country?Absolutely.
2:14:55 > 2:14:59You can see fans already lining up here at the Hawthorns. The service
2:14:59 > 2:15:03does not take place until 11. We are expecting people from the world of
2:15:03 > 2:15:07football and wider bought and the world of entertainment. He was a
2:15:07 > 2:15:10much loved figure. Let me talk to some people with us. In the middle
2:15:10 > 2:15:17is Dave Bennett, sometimes known as the fourth degree. The word Cyrille
2:15:17 > 2:15:20Regis pottery probably best mate and a team-mate at Coventry City, where
2:15:20 > 2:15:29he won the FA Cup -- you were Cyrille Regis' probably best mate.
2:15:29 > 2:15:35What did it mean? It meant a lot. So he was like a colleague of a person
2:15:35 > 2:15:41you look up to at the same time. You want to do the same as him. But at
2:15:41 > 2:15:45the same time, we were playing for Man City and I wanted to make myself
2:15:45 > 2:15:53known as much as him. But later in life, we met up at Coventry City and
2:15:53 > 2:16:00because of what we have been through before, they say forces are better
2:16:00 > 2:16:03in numbers. So he could talk to me about it and I could talk to him and
2:16:03 > 2:16:09we formed a remarkable relationship.
2:16:10 > 2:16:17He taught you about the racist abuse.When I was getting abuse, he
2:16:17 > 2:16:20would say, leave it, and turn the ear cheek and if he was getting a
2:16:20 > 2:16:23little bit of abuse I could give him some information so we helped each
2:16:23 > 2:16:28other in more ways than one and obviously it turned corners and when
2:16:28 > 2:16:35we were playing a lot of players were making headway, they're making
2:16:35 > 2:16:41motorways now. There is a lot of them playing now.I saw Ron Atkinson
2:16:41 > 2:16:45about Cyrille, he said he wasn't a great player, he was a great bloke.
2:16:45 > 2:16:49A lot of people got to know him and met him. I got to met him a couple
2:16:49 > 2:16:53of times and he was always a gentleman, such a nice man.Yeah, he
2:16:53 > 2:16:56was a gentleman off the park and a gentleman on the park. He could be
2:16:56 > 2:17:00aggressive when he was on the park, but he wouldn't be aggressive to
2:17:00 > 2:17:05hurt anybody. He always had time for everybody. He always signed
2:17:05 > 2:17:10everything. He is an icon and I'll miss him so much. He used to ring me
2:17:10 > 2:17:14every two weeks and touch base and things like that, we would be
2:17:14 > 2:17:19talking about whatever we were talking about last week and I would
2:17:19 > 2:17:22tease him a little bit more than some other people could, but at the
2:17:22 > 2:17:27same time he is a massive loss to, not only me, but to his family and
2:17:27 > 2:17:32to a lot of friends.Let me bring some of the fans in. Dave you're a
2:17:32 > 2:17:35similar generation to me. You would have been a young lad and a similar
2:17:35 > 2:17:39age to Cyrille Regis. What did he mean to you as a supporterI was a
2:17:39 > 2:17:44big fan because my brother used to play in the amateurs in the youths,
2:17:44 > 2:17:48Albeon youths and it was good to hear him come home and say I played
2:17:48 > 2:17:55with the three degrees as he would say and he was a pioneer. He was a
2:17:55 > 2:18:02person who liked to break down stigma about racism and etcetera and
2:18:02 > 2:18:08I also feel that not only was he a nice guy, but I have met him a few
2:18:08 > 2:18:13times myself when I was in town partying away. We've had a good talk
2:18:13 > 2:18:18etcetera and you know, he is the sort of person that you could talk
2:18:18 > 2:18:26to your next generation. I have I've got two boys and I always spoke to
2:18:26 > 2:18:33them about him and showed them clips and the documentary of the Blacks
2:18:33 > 2:18:38Versus Whites.
2:18:38 > 2:18:41Versus Whites.That was Adrian Chiles' documentary. Adrian are
2:18:41 > 2:18:49here. 2,000 fans will be allowed and there will be many more people
2:18:49 > 2:18:53celebrating Cyrille's life and paying tribute to the great
2:18:53 > 2:19:01footballers from the 1970s and 1980s. Phil, thank you very much.
2:19:03 > 2:19:06The documentary, Adrian Chiles' documentary, I think it is still
2:19:06 > 2:19:13available on the iplayer. Shall we catch up on the weather.
2:19:13 > 2:19:16Carol has all the details.
2:19:19 > 2:19:23These temperatures were taken five minutes ago. In London it is minus
2:19:23 > 2:19:27two. Cardiff minus one and Manchester it is freezing, Belfast
2:19:27 > 2:19:31three and Edinburgh six. The reason the temperature is higher in Belfast
2:19:31 > 2:19:34than Edinburgh is because we have more cloud here and it is coming in
2:19:34 > 2:19:37from the Atlantic. It has been producing a lot of showers through
2:19:37 > 2:19:42the course of the night and here too, it is breezy, but you can see
2:19:42 > 2:19:44the cloud across parts of Northern Ireland. That will continue through
2:19:44 > 2:19:49the course of the day. The showers on and off, but for much of Scotland
2:19:49 > 2:19:53and Northern Ireland, England and Wales, it's going to remain dry.
2:19:53 > 2:19:55There will be lengthy sunny spells with more cloud building in from the
2:19:55 > 2:20:00west through the day, but low cloud coming in across parts of Cornwall
2:20:00 > 2:20:03and Devon, introducing drizzle later on. Temperature wise in Plymouth, we
2:20:03 > 2:20:06are looking at a high of eight Celsius, seven around the Bristol
2:20:06 > 2:20:09area and you can see a lot of sunshine across southern counties
2:20:09 > 2:20:13through London and into East Anglia and also the Midlands, but a bit
2:20:13 > 2:20:16more cloud coming across Wales, spilling into parts of the West
2:20:16 > 2:20:21Midlands and into parts of northern England, but in between, there will
2:20:21 > 2:20:24be sunshine at times. More cloud building across Northern Ireland and
2:20:24 > 2:20:28through the afternoon, the rain will start to appear across Scotland.
2:20:28 > 2:20:32Falling as snow on the mountains. Now what's going to happen through
2:20:32 > 2:20:36the evening and overnight is this rain will turn heavier, the wind
2:20:36 > 2:20:40will be stronger touching gale force with exposure as it sWintion south.
2:20:40 > 2:20:43At the same time we've got the cloud and rain moving north-east wards.
2:20:43 > 2:20:47The two more or less meet and continue their decent southwards. So
2:20:47 > 2:20:51not as cold a night in southern areas as the night just gone, but it
2:20:51 > 2:20:56will be progressively colder across the north with those wintry showers
2:20:56 > 2:21:02falling to lower levels. Now, it's courtesy of these weather fronts
2:21:02 > 2:21:07which will pull away from the South East and it will brighten up. But
2:21:07 > 2:21:09the wind is coming from a chilly direction, the north-west and it
2:21:09 > 2:21:13will be chilly tomorrow. You will notice it. So the cold air wins out
2:21:13 > 2:21:16in the battle against the mild air as represented by the yellow there.
2:21:16 > 2:21:20That pushes away from all, but the South East, but it will behind those
2:21:20 > 2:21:24weather fronts as they clear away. So first thing tomorrow, watch out
2:21:24 > 2:21:30for some ice on untreated surfaces. The snow level falls to 200 meters
2:21:30 > 2:21:32across Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland. They are
2:21:32 > 2:21:36showers so not all of us will see snow, but it will be at modest
2:21:36 > 2:21:40levels and it will be cold and the cold feeling exacerbated by the
2:21:40 > 2:21:45wind. Further south, no heatwave either, but we are looking at
2:21:45 > 2:21:50sunshine and showers. You may see the odd bit of sleet in them.
2:21:50 > 2:21:55Thursday, a drier and brighter day. Lou and Dan.
2:21:56 > 2:22:00Thank you very much. See you shortly.
2:22:01 > 2:22:03Subjects like art, music and drama are being cut back
2:22:03 > 2:22:05in secondary schools in England, according to a BBC survey.
2:22:05 > 2:22:08Teachers say there's been a squeeze on creative classes amid concerns
2:22:08 > 2:22:10that there's too much emphasis on core subjects like
2:22:10 > 2:22:11Maths and English.
2:22:11 > 2:22:19Jo Black has this report.
2:22:20 > 2:22:25What mistress, slave, hast thou?
2:22:25 > 2:22:27The creative arts, they've been part of the weekly
2:22:27 > 2:22:28timetable for decades.
2:22:28 > 2:22:32But for how much longer?
2:22:32 > 2:22:35We're reaching a tipping point where if we continue
2:22:35 > 2:22:37to squeeze the arts, we will have significantly
2:22:37 > 2:22:43negative effects.
2:22:43 > 2:22:45In the last few years, Head Teacher, Jez Bennett,
2:22:45 > 2:22:47from Northamptonshire has had to cut arts lessons, resources, and staff,
2:22:47 > 2:22:51and is teaching some of the classes himself.
2:22:51 > 2:22:54I've had to make some decisions about whether I can afford
2:22:54 > 2:22:56to run certain classes.
2:22:56 > 2:22:58I know that there are schools that have cut
2:22:58 > 2:23:04GSCEs in Art, Music, Drama, and Photography.
2:23:04 > 2:23:07I just wanted to have, like, the chance to express myself.
2:23:07 > 2:23:09I came to a school with no art curriculum,
2:23:09 > 2:23:12I know that I couldn't see myself enjoying it as much.
2:23:12 > 2:23:14Jobs these day smostly all rely on your core skills
2:23:14 > 2:23:16like maths, English, science, and that is
2:23:16 > 2:23:17a lot of pressure.
2:23:17 > 2:23:19The BBC approached every state school in England asking
2:23:19 > 2:23:20about their arts provision.
2:23:20 > 2:23:2640%, that's more than 1,200 schools, responded.
2:23:26 > 2:23:29A third said they'd cut the number of lessons in at least one arts
2:23:29 > 2:23:31subject in the last few years.
2:23:31 > 2:23:36A quarter said they now employ fewer specialist teachers.
2:23:36 > 2:23:40A third are considering dropping at least one arts subject at GSCE.
2:23:40 > 2:23:44So, why is this happening?
2:23:44 > 2:23:46Schools say the key reason is the government's focus on core
2:23:46 > 2:23:48academic subjects such as English, maths, the sciences, language,
2:23:48 > 2:23:55history, and geography.
2:23:55 > 2:23:57Ministers want to ensure schools make sure more pupils sit
2:23:57 > 2:24:05these subjects in future.
2:24:06 > 2:24:08This Shakespeare festival gives pupils all over the country
2:24:08 > 2:24:15the chance to perform on a professional stage.
2:24:15 > 2:24:17But, increasingly, schools have been dropping out because they can't
2:24:17 > 2:24:21afford it or they don't have enough staff to take part.
2:24:21 > 2:24:23Creativity and arts education is not just about creating
2:24:23 > 2:24:27painters and actors.
2:24:27 > 2:24:30Being a creative member of society means that you are more confident
2:24:30 > 2:24:32and communicate better and work better with people of different
2:24:32 > 2:24:38backgrounds to yourself.
2:24:38 > 2:24:41That is something that is absolutely crucial in a society facing the kind
2:24:41 > 2:24:44of difficulties and problems that we face.
2:24:44 > 2:24:46Those that represent the creative industries worth £92 billion a year
2:24:46 > 2:24:51are becoming increasingly concerned.
2:24:51 > 2:24:53Arts provision should also be seen as a core subject.
2:24:53 > 2:24:55Look, there's nothing soft about subjects that create
2:24:55 > 2:25:03the talent that create the fastest growing sector in the UK economy.
2:25:05 > 2:25:07The Government says schools are required to provide a broad
2:25:07 > 2:25:13and balanced curriculum which Ofsted consider in their inspections.
2:25:13 > 2:25:16It also says it is investing £400 million in music and arts
2:25:16 > 2:25:19education programmes.
2:25:19 > 2:25:22But for most schools in our survey, cuts to the arts are not over
2:25:22 > 2:25:29yet, with more expected in the coming years.
2:25:33 > 2:25:36I enjoyed that.Very much so.
2:25:36 > 2:25:39Coming up later in the programme, gymnast Nile Wilson made history
2:25:39 > 2:25:42in Rio but is his greatest achievement being able
2:25:42 > 2:25:46to backflip into his shorts?
2:25:46 > 2:25:51Yes, we are going to show you the pictures! As if by magic.That's how
2:25:51 > 2:25:56I get dressed every morning.I wish I could.
2:25:56 > 2:25:59We are talking about random acts of kindness. There is an article in the
2:25:59 > 2:26:03paper today about a student called Ella who was on the train and
2:26:03 > 2:26:07somebody overheard her talking to a family member about money worries
2:26:07 > 2:26:12and when she had a little sleep on the train, she woke up and there was
2:26:12 > 2:26:17£100 on her lap. This is Gale. My friend works for an
2:26:17 > 2:26:22Ambulance Service. Tonight on my way to work I stopped to fuel up my car
2:26:22 > 2:26:26at the garage. After filling the tank, I went to
2:26:26 > 2:26:30pay only to discover that the person in front of me had paid for my fuel.
2:26:30 > 2:26:34I was stumped for words and taken aback. I went outside and thanked
2:26:34 > 2:26:39him, he told me that the Ambulance Service do a fantastic job and that
2:26:39 > 2:26:44was the least he could do. Lynn says, "Last August my mum and I
2:26:44 > 2:26:47went to one event in Lincolnshire. We were surprised at the cost. It
2:26:47 > 2:26:51was double what we expected to pay. We were lingering around outside
2:26:51 > 2:26:56thinking whether we had enough money. Three random people came up
2:26:56 > 2:27:00and stuffed £20 notes into our open purse and we were able to go in.".
2:27:00 > 2:27:03Thank you.
2:27:03 > 2:27:06Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
2:30:44 > 2:30:52Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:30:55 > 2:30:58A summary of the latest news...
2:30:58 > 2:31:01The impact of Brexit could leave Britain substantially worse off
2:31:01 > 2:31:03over the next 15 years, according to a leaked
2:31:03 > 2:31:04government document.
2:31:04 > 2:31:06The analysis of three different scenarios has been carried out
2:31:06 > 2:31:08by the office of the Brexit secretary, David Davis,
2:31:08 > 2:31:11and has been seen by the online news service Buzzfeed.
2:31:11 > 2:31:13But government sources point out that the document hasn't looked
2:31:13 > 2:31:15at the impact of Number 10's preferred option -
2:31:15 > 2:31:23a bespoke trade deal with the EU.
2:31:24 > 2:31:30Earlier Iain Duncan Smith told the BBC he thought the information
2:31:30 > 2:31:33within the leaked document was flawed.
2:31:33 > 2:31:35The honest truth is every forecast from the government to do
2:31:35 > 2:31:38with Brexit, or even to do with the economy, has been wrong
2:31:38 > 2:31:40as far back as I can remember.
2:31:40 > 2:31:43Bear in mind that during the debate on Brexit we were told
2:31:43 > 2:31:45the economy would crash, with a million job losses.
2:31:45 > 2:31:48The economy has grown since then, and a quarter of a million
2:31:48 > 2:31:49new jobs have been created.
2:31:49 > 2:31:52I must say that means that therefore their model doesn't work.
2:31:52 > 2:31:54Police say a highly-professional former soldier is believed to have
2:31:54 > 2:31:56carried out seven violent raids with military-style planning.
2:31:56 > 2:31:58Surrey Police have released CCTV footage of a suspect,
2:31:58 > 2:32:00who is accused of staking out expensive properties
2:32:00 > 2:32:03in the Home Counties so that he knew their exact layout
2:32:03 > 2:32:04and location of safes.
2:32:04 > 2:32:06The owners were robbed of jewellery and watches,
2:32:06 > 2:32:14while being threatened with a sawn off shotgun.
2:32:14 > 2:32:16Women at the BBC have told MPs they faced "veiled threats"
2:32:16 > 2:32:18when they raised the subject of equal pay.
2:32:18 > 2:32:20The claims, which were made to the Digital, Culture,
2:32:20 > 2:32:23Media and Sport Select Committee, come as the BBC announces
2:32:23 > 2:32:31plans for a pay cap on its news presenters.
2:32:35 > 2:32:37The proposed maximum salary of £320,000 will affect only
2:32:37 > 2:32:41a handful of people but forms part of a wider restructuring of pay.
2:32:41 > 2:32:46There will be more on that story throughout the day, the
2:32:46 > 2:32:48director-general will make an announcement at around ten o'clock
2:32:48 > 2:32:50this morning.
2:32:50 > 2:32:53A significant number of people who receive personal independence
2:32:53 > 2:32:56payments from the government are expected to receive more money
2:32:56 > 2:32:56once their claims are reviewed.
2:32:56 > 2:32:58All 1.6 million recipients are having their cases looked
2:32:58 > 2:33:01at again, after the government decided not to challenge a court
2:33:01 > 2:33:03ruling that said changes to PIP were unfair to people
2:33:03 > 2:33:10with mental health conditions.
2:33:10 > 2:33:13This is a series of improvements which please me, because it shows
2:33:13 > 2:33:15the Government can be controlling and careful with money,
2:33:15 > 2:33:18but also do the right things for people who are vulnerable
2:33:18 > 2:33:19and who need our support.
2:33:19 > 2:33:21The Irish Cabinet has formally agreed to hold a referendum
2:33:21 > 2:33:25on liberalising the country's abortion laws at the end of May.
2:33:25 > 2:33:27The Prime Minister, Leo Varadkar, said there must be an end
2:33:27 > 2:33:29to women having to go abroad for terminations.
2:33:29 > 2:33:37The Republic of Ireland currently has a near total ban on abortion.
2:33:37 > 2:33:40Police in the South African city of Cape Town have begun issuing
2:33:40 > 2:33:43fines to residents suspected of ignoring strict water regulations
2:33:43 > 2:33:44following the worst drought in the region for more
2:33:44 > 2:33:45than a century.
2:33:45 > 2:33:48Officials have banned the washing of cars and imposed a limit of 50
2:33:48 > 2:33:52litres of water per person per day.
2:33:52 > 2:33:55It comes ahead of the so-called day zero on the 12th of April,
2:33:55 > 2:33:58which could see the main supply switched off and residents
2:33:58 > 2:34:06forced to queue for water at collection points.
2:34:10 > 2:34:12A funeral service will take place later for the former
2:34:12 > 2:34:15footballer Cyrille Regis, who died earlier this
2:34:15 > 2:34:23month at the age of 59.
2:34:27 > 2:34:33We can see huge crowds gathering today.
2:34:36 > 2:34:42today.Yes, we are expecting 2000 fans, it was tickets only, there
2:34:42 > 2:34:45could have been 30,000 people, but because they are organising a
2:34:45 > 2:34:51funeral they couldn't let that many people come. They are just
2:34:51 > 2:34:58applauding as the funeral cortege departs. This is Cyrille Regis'
2:34:58 > 2:35:01final journey away from the hawthorns, the ground where he made
2:35:01 > 2:35:09his name in the 1970s and 80s. Let's not forget he played for other West
2:35:09 > 2:35:15Midlands clubs including Coventry City where in 1987 he won the FA Cup
2:35:15 > 2:35:21final. I have seen players and friends of his from those sides as
2:35:21 > 2:35:25well as current players, and lots of fans here with the different shirts
2:35:25 > 2:35:32of the clubs for whom he played.
2:35:32 > 2:35:35of the clubs for whom he played. We will just let the car passed, it is
2:35:35 > 2:35:41going past a banner in a moment that says there is only one Cyrille
2:35:41 > 2:35:52Regis, and many people, including the formerly, walking past there.
2:35:52 > 2:36:04They will agree with that. Just letting you see there the funeral
2:36:04 > 2:36:09cortege going. A really emotional moment for football fans because, as
2:36:09 > 2:36:15Ron Atkinson said yesterday, Cyrille Regis was not just a great player,
2:36:15 > 2:36:18he was a great bloke and that was almost more important because of the
2:36:18 > 2:36:22barriers he had to break down as a young black player at a time when
2:36:22 > 2:36:30there was racism not just on the pitch but on the streets as well.
2:36:31 > 2:36:33pitch but on the streets as well. It was an influential member of the
2:36:33 > 2:36:40three degrees, who broke down so many barriers. The family and
2:36:40 > 2:36:44everyone will be back here for the service at the grounds later this
2:36:44 > 2:36:50morning, where people will celebrate once more the life of Cyrille Regis.
2:36:50 > 2:36:59Thank you for that. That service due to take place at around 10:30am,
2:37:00 > 2:37:0410:45am. Hopefully quite a few people will attend that and get a
2:37:04 > 2:37:12chance to remember him once again. We are going to talk about football
2:37:12 > 2:37:17again, but Mrs David Beckham and he has been out spending.Yes, football
2:37:17 > 2:37:22in America or soccer as they call it. His business empire is
2:37:22 > 2:37:26expanding, he is now the proud owner of a Miami Major League Soccer team
2:37:26 > 2:37:33which has been a long time in the making and he brought star power to
2:37:33 > 2:37:36it with lots of good luck messages yesterday from people like Jay-Z and
2:37:36 > 2:37:42huge names wishing him good luck so you can see why he is fronting this
2:37:42 > 2:37:46new campaign.
2:37:46 > 2:37:48Beckham's new club was announced four years after he got
2:37:48 > 2:37:49involved with the plan.
2:37:49 > 2:37:51He feels his playing career around the world
2:37:51 > 2:37:55will help the team succeed.
2:37:55 > 2:37:59I've been able to experience different leagues and cultures and
2:37:59 > 2:38:03my role will be to bring talented players but also to build this
2:38:03 > 2:38:08academy we keep talking about because we have a hotbed of
2:38:08 > 2:38:10tolerance in young kids here and I believe if we build the right
2:38:10 > 2:38:14facilities and bring the right coaches we have a hell of a chance
2:38:14 > 2:38:21of bringing home grown talent into this team.They plan to start
2:38:21 > 2:38:27playing in a few years.
2:38:27 > 2:38:28David Beckham's former Manchester United team-mate
2:38:28 > 2:38:30Phil Neville says his new job as England women's manager
2:38:30 > 2:38:31isn't a stepping stone.
2:38:31 > 2:38:33During his first media outing in this role,
2:38:33 > 2:38:36he called his job 'the ultimate' and apologised many times for those
2:38:36 > 2:38:37controversial tweets.
2:38:37 > 2:38:39Neville also revealed that his twin sister Tracey,
2:38:39 > 2:38:42the head coach of the England netball team texted him
2:38:42 > 2:38:44after his appointment saying: 'race you to number one'.
2:38:44 > 2:38:51Both of their teams are currently ranked third in the world.
2:38:51 > 2:38:52Do I know everything about women's football?
2:38:52 > 2:38:55No, but I will, and that's part of my job.
2:38:55 > 2:38:57When I went to La Liga, I knew three players
2:38:57 > 2:38:58within the Valencia team.
2:38:58 > 2:39:00Within a week, I knew all about Valencia,
2:39:00 > 2:39:02and within six months I was speaking another language.
2:39:02 > 2:39:05I'm a fast learner and it's something that now I'll throw
2:39:05 > 2:39:07everything into making sure that my 100% commitment
2:39:07 > 2:39:08is to the women's game.
2:39:08 > 2:39:10It's time of year when football does soap opera.
2:39:10 > 2:39:12Transfer deadline day is tomorrow and clubs are desperately trying
2:39:12 > 2:39:16to get hold of the players they want for the rest of the season.
2:39:16 > 2:39:17One complicated deal involves Pierre Emerick Aubameyang,
2:39:17 > 2:39:19the Borussia Dortmund striker.
2:39:19 > 2:39:21Arsenal want him, but the move may depend on other players changing
2:39:21 > 2:39:24clubs including the Gunners striker, Olivier Giroud.
2:39:24 > 2:39:25Britain's Alfie Hewett is the new number one ranked
2:39:25 > 2:39:27wheelchair singles tennis player.
2:39:27 > 2:39:30He says "a dream has become reality."
2:39:30 > 2:39:33He's the second British man to make it to top spot after his doubles
2:39:33 > 2:39:35partner Gordon Reid.
2:39:35 > 2:39:37He wrote on Twitter that "it's been a journey,
2:39:37 > 2:39:39many highs and lows, pain and sacrifice, tears,
2:39:39 > 2:39:47fun and enjoyment."
2:39:49 > 2:40:01I don't think we have got any time for tuna tossing.
2:40:01 > 2:40:03From the Rio Olympics to the World Championships
2:40:03 > 2:40:06in Montreal, Nile Wilson has been carving a name for himself
2:40:06 > 2:40:07in British Gymnastics.
2:40:07 > 2:40:09And today, he's been announced as part of Team
2:40:09 > 2:40:10GB's World Cup squad.
2:40:10 > 2:40:14I can see him, hiya!
2:40:14 > 2:40:16Following a year where he overcame injury to compete
2:40:16 > 2:40:18at the World Championships, 2018 is looking bright
2:40:18 > 2:40:19for the Olympic medalist.
2:40:19 > 2:40:25Let's have a look at him in action.
2:41:00 > 2:41:06And here he is, good morning. You've got quite a year ahead, haven't you?
2:41:06 > 2:41:10First of all congratulations on being included in the World Cup
2:41:10 > 2:41:18squad. Take us through 2008 team.It is a big year, usually you only have
2:41:18 > 2:41:23to micromanage us but we have the Commonwealth Games, the Europeans in
2:41:23 > 2:41:29mid-summer and the championships again so it is go go go. It is a
2:41:29 > 2:41:33clean slate every major so you are not just on the team. We have got to
2:41:33 > 2:41:37go through the trialling process so that is happening this weekend and
2:41:37 > 2:41:41next weekend so we are almost competition ready and we have to
2:41:41 > 2:41:47maintain it.And how far you, because you were injured last year?
2:41:47 > 2:41:53Yes, this time last year I had ankle surgery, snapped two ligaments.And
2:41:53 > 2:41:58you weren't doing anything spectacular, just something routine?
2:41:58 > 2:42:06No, something very basic for me.You weren't jumping into your shorts!
2:42:06 > 2:42:12You have the setbacks and it is part of the journey but to make it to the
2:42:12 > 2:42:15World Championships in Montreal eight months later, and I came sixth
2:42:15 > 2:42:23in the all-round finals, that is my best result so far so it makes it
2:42:23 > 2:42:28sweet. The setbacks are part of it but I am really excited for the year
2:42:28 > 2:42:34and the World Cup. It's an amazing event, with nine of the best
2:42:34 > 2:42:44all-rounds in the world. I will bring my shorts.I love that video!
2:42:44 > 2:42:49But part of your rehabilitation has been social media, then you posted
2:42:49 > 2:42:57this and it went viral, didn't it?I am big on social, I love video
2:42:57 > 2:43:08creating since I was a kid, I am a vlogger and I want to put the sport
2:43:08 > 2:43:12out there on show how terrific it is. We are going for the shorts
2:43:12 > 2:43:17flips as a new operators, definitely!You have got to reach
2:43:17 > 2:43:20the podium with this, it is very impressive. How many times does it
2:43:20 > 2:43:27go wrong before you get it right? Plenty of times! I believe
2:43:27 > 2:43:33gymnastics is the best sport in the world and something I love to do.
2:43:33 > 2:43:36You get a really good response on social media, don't you, from people
2:43:36 > 2:43:41who are getting into the sport because of that.Yes, fantastic, I
2:43:41 > 2:43:49think I have tapped into the entertainment side. My vlogs bike
2:43:49 > 2:43:54humorous. It is known as the Olympic sport you see every four years and
2:43:54 > 2:43:58that is what I want to change.How can people get involved without
2:43:58 > 2:44:03necessarily becoming a gymnast? I know you want it to go out to the
2:44:03 > 2:44:07wider public so people can use gymnastic moves in their everyday
2:44:07 > 2:44:12life, what should we be doing? Fitness is huge now and I want to
2:44:12 > 2:44:18get the kids into it. A lot of my videos appeal to those but like you
2:44:18 > 2:44:22say, we are all into fitness and I believe this style training is the
2:44:22 > 2:44:29best for your body. We have got incredible muscles, we are lean, and
2:44:29 > 2:44:34that is just through joining in in gymnastics. So many people could
2:44:34 > 2:44:41think about doing that.Where can we start then?Start in your living
2:44:41 > 2:44:47room! It is all functional, it is all in your body and that is part of
2:44:47 > 2:44:52my journey with YouTube getting it out there, showing how you can do it
2:44:52 > 2:44:58in your living room and get fit. When you have to go back to the
2:44:58 > 2:45:01beginning to qualify again, for example when you look at the
2:45:01 > 2:45:06Olympics in Rio where you broke barriers and won the bronze medal in
2:45:06 > 2:45:11the high bar, can you build on that or do you have to move on from that
2:45:11 > 2:45:16and forget it and accept the new challenge or does something like
2:45:16 > 2:45:20that help you?It certainly helps, every time you compete on the world
2:45:20 > 2:45:25stage it is the same judges every time, you almost make a name for
2:45:25 > 2:45:29yourself. But every competition, like after the Olympics the rules
2:45:29 > 2:45:35changed so everybody has to adapt their gymnastic to the new rules. It
2:45:35 > 2:45:38is exciting, my routines and the difficulty will change.Do you have
2:45:38 > 2:45:46an all-time favourite routine?It has got to be the Olympic bar
2:45:46 > 2:45:51routine, an incredible memory but we will make new memories. I have also
2:45:51 > 2:45:56done a skill in training which no one has ever done, and you then get
2:45:56 > 2:46:01that named after you so I'm hoping to get the Wilson in the code of
2:46:01 > 2:46:09points.What does it involve?You will have to wait and see. It is on
2:46:09 > 2:46:14parallel bars so that is exciting.
2:46:14 > 2:46:19When you going to show that for the first time?When I say it's never
2:46:19 > 2:46:23been done before there's a reason for it, it's quite challenging!
2:46:23 > 2:46:28LAUGHTERFingers crossed, at some point this year.We'll look out for
2:46:28 > 2:46:42the Wilson. What about Nile's pile? LAUGHTER
2:46:44 > 2:46:55LAUGHTER I won't be trying that! Thank you so much.
2:46:55 > 2:46:57The Gymnastics World Cup begins on the 21st March.
2:46:57 > 2:46:59Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
2:46:59 > 2:47:01Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
2:47:01 > 2:47:06Good morning. It's a cold start to the day across many areas. If I show
2:47:06 > 2:47:13you the temperatures at 8am.
2:47:20 > 2:47:24Soak it is a cold start to the day. It's not as cold across the North
2:47:24 > 2:47:28and north-west of Scotland. Here we've got a lot of showers. It's
2:47:28 > 2:47:32breezy and the wind will continue to strengthen. Moving away from
2:47:32 > 2:47:35Scotland we are off to a bright start with some sunny skies. Cloud
2:47:35 > 2:47:39building a bit as we go through the afternoon from the West. A new
2:47:39 > 2:47:45system is coming in across the Isles of Scilly and across Devon
2:47:45 > 2:47:50introducing drizzle. Across from there, more sunny skies. Pleasant
2:47:50 > 2:47:56enough for this stage in January. You can see how the cloud is
2:47:56 > 2:48:00building but in between where it breaks there will be sunny spells.
2:48:00 > 2:48:03In Northern Ireland it will continue to cloud over with some showers
2:48:03 > 2:48:07through the day. The showers continue across the North and west
2:48:07 > 2:48:12of Scotland. The wind is going to strengthen. At the moment across the
2:48:12 > 2:48:16Cairngorms with the wind is 86 miles an hour and the temperature is minus
2:48:16 > 2:48:22two. Through the afternoon the system thinks south. Meanwhile the
2:48:22 > 2:48:26other system coming in from the south-west heads north-east. They
2:48:26 > 2:48:32meet in this band of cloud and rain. Behind it, much colder. The snow
2:48:32 > 2:48:36level coming down out of the mountains to more modest levels.
2:48:36 > 2:48:42Watch out for ice first thing in the morning. It will be warmer in the
2:48:42 > 2:48:46south because we've got the rain under cloud. North-westerly winds
2:48:46 > 2:48:50tomorrow in a chilly direction and the wind will be a noticeable
2:48:50 > 2:48:55feature. As the cold air filters southwards, pushing away the milder
2:48:55 > 2:49:00yellow which represents the milder air. There goes the rain first thing
2:49:00 > 2:49:05tomorrow morning, clearing the south-east. Behind it a mixture of
2:49:05 > 2:49:08sunshine and showers. Across Scotland, Northern Ireland and
2:49:08 > 2:49:14northern England some of the showers will have snow. We don't expect it
2:49:14 > 2:49:18to be as disruptive as it was a couple of weeks ago. Further south,
2:49:18 > 2:49:22any showers will mostly be of rain. You might see some sleet but that
2:49:22 > 2:49:28will be about it. On Thursday to dry conditions around. Still quite a
2:49:28 > 2:49:31breezy day with some sunshine, some rain at times across the north-east
2:49:31 > 2:49:38of Scotland with showers coming into the north-west.
2:49:42 > 2:49:51Thank you very much!It's cold out, isn't it?With that frosty morning
2:49:51 > 2:49:56it would be lovely to have a fire pit in here, warming our hands. Look
2:49:56 > 2:50:04what we have behind us! Winterwatch is back and you're going to be
2:50:04 > 2:50:13warned this time -- warm this time. I'm very glad we're not in the
2:50:13 > 2:50:19Cairngorms. 86 mph winds! We are in
2:50:19 > 2:50:22Sherborne in Gloucestershire. It's glorious. We are looking forward to
2:50:22 > 2:50:29this evening's show. We should be seeing a lot of wildlife.We've had
2:50:29 > 2:50:38an enormous influx of a bird Corby hawfinch. That happened about a
2:50:38 > 2:50:42hundred years ago. This winter people have been rushing out to see
2:50:42 > 2:50:49them. At Sherborne church this morning we had a cracking view of
2:50:49 > 2:50:54the hawfinches.They are an amazing looking bird.Are they easy to spot?
2:50:54 > 2:51:00They look quite special.They are easy to spot in the sense they like
2:51:00 > 2:51:03to purchase at the tops of trees which make them easy to find. They
2:51:03 > 2:51:13love
2:51:13 > 2:51:17love feeding on yew and hornbeam. Look at the size of that bill.
2:51:17 > 2:51:22They've got a monstrous bill. We will be demonstrating the strength
2:51:22 > 2:51:28of that bill. It is a massively powerful tool for this bird.In the
2:51:28 > 2:51:34first episode yesterday
2:51:34 > 2:51:36first episode yesterday I saw Game of Crows. You're backing the raven,
2:51:36 > 2:51:40Chris. Is your money still on the raven against the crow?That's
2:51:40 > 2:51:45right.
2:51:48 > 2:51:51right. I'd take the part of Jamie Ravenster. There's some sense behind
2:51:51 > 2:51:56this. We are pitting the carrion crow against the raven in a series
2:51:56 > 2:52:00of cognitive trials to see which one of the birds is the more
2:52:00 > 2:52:03intelligent. The raven is a larger bird and has a larger brain. You
2:52:03 > 2:52:08might be betting on the raven but you'll have to watch to see what
2:52:08 > 2:52:14happens tonight in part to.Why did you that choice?The raven is
2:52:14 > 2:52:20renowned across the world to be the cleverest bird. The crow family are
2:52:20 > 2:52:24the brightest. Parrots come in quite close behind them. Because the raven
2:52:24 > 2:52:29is the largest of the
2:52:32 > 2:52:34is the largest of the corvids and scientists have been studying the
2:52:34 > 2:52:40intelligence of the raven, I picked them.You went the size but size
2:52:40 > 2:52:45doesn't always win, that's all I'm saying.Slow and steady wins the
2:52:45 > 2:52:51race, Michaela. Tell us about badgers as well on Winterwatch.We
2:52:51 > 2:52:54like challenge. We've been trying to get to know the badgers around
2:52:54 > 2:53:02Sherborne through Springwatch, Autumnwatch we failed. But we're
2:53:02 > 2:53:06having some success Winterwatch. We've got three collars on them.
2:53:06 > 2:53:11We've named them after 80s pop icons. Mark Ormond, David Bowie and
2:53:11 > 2:53:20Kate Bush. -- Marc Almond. We didn't see them in the spring or the
2:53:20 > 2:53:22autumn, now it's colder, they are sticking around the set is a lot
2:53:22 > 2:53:28more and we are getting some fabulous views.Some
2:53:28 > 2:53:32rough-and-tumble last night, we hear. There was a bit feisty badger
2:53:32 > 2:53:37behaviour out there last night. LAUGHTER What about further afield?
2:53:37 > 2:53:43Further afield, Gillian is up and Islay on the western coast of
2:53:43 > 2:53:48Scotland and she's after otters and eagles. We want to have as good a
2:53:48 > 2:53:53geographical spread as possible. We based ourselves at Sherborne for
2:53:53 > 2:53:56Springwatch, Autumnwatch and Winterwatch. We wanted to get a feel
2:53:56 > 2:53:59for what was happening in one place in the countryside. Typically we've
2:53:59 > 2:54:04been all over the place. We have films about not just otters and
2:54:04 > 2:54:08eagles but also the little jobs. We like to champion the underdog. Last
2:54:08 > 2:54:14night we had a film about twites which are quite an unusual and
2:54:14 > 2:54:19little-known farmland bird from the northern parts of the UK. They are
2:54:19 > 2:54:24in critical decline down to about 50%. We want to affect some good
2:54:24 > 2:54:30conservation before we lose them. Thank you very much. It's lovely to
2:54:30 > 2:54:35speak to you.
2:54:35 > 2:54:43The next episode of Winterwatch is on BBC Two, tonight at 8pm.
2:54:45 > 2:54:53That hawfinch had a massive head.We are going from counting crows to
2:54:53 > 2:55:01counting cranes.
2:55:03 > 2:55:06counting cranes. Sean is counting cranes because it is one way you can
2:55:06 > 2:55:16tell...You mentioned Counting Crows, I got a bit excited! LAUGHTER
2:55:16 > 2:55:22Sean who is counting cranes!
2:55:22 > 2:55:25Ready?! That's not all we've been doing this morning but we've been
2:55:25 > 2:55:32trying to get a feel for what cities like Manchester have been doing over
2:55:32 > 2:55:38the recent year or two in terms of building. We are talking offices,
2:55:38 > 2:55:41student blocks, residential. There is a report out today from Deloitte
2:55:41 > 2:55:46which says we are returning in these cities to the kind of building
2:55:46 > 2:55:50activity we haven't seen since before the financial crisis. Why is
2:55:50 > 2:55:58this happening? Let's have a chat with Michelle and Grainne. Michelle,
2:55:58 > 2:56:02you are part of the development team. What has been the big driver.
2:56:02 > 2:56:09Why are you guys building so many buildings like this in Manchester?
2:56:09 > 2:56:13Be higher education sector and universities are a global business.
2:56:13 > 2:56:19Universities have to operate on a global stage. Manchester is in the
2:56:19 > 2:56:23top universities globally. If they are to continue to attract
2:56:23 > 2:56:27international talent they need to have great educational and research
2:56:27 > 2:56:31facilities, but it also needs great accommodation alongside its.Where
2:56:31 > 2:56:36is the money coming from? We heard from Simon it's not just Manchester,
2:56:36 > 2:56:42Birmingham, Belfast and Leeds. Its Bristol, Glasgow.There are a range
2:56:42 > 2:56:46of sources of funding. There are big institutional investors who want to
2:56:46 > 2:56:49invest in Manchester because it's performing so strongly. There's
2:56:49 > 2:56:56international investment across the city. Crucially local investment. We
2:56:56 > 2:57:03secured £270 million of funding from the Manchester property fund.
2:57:03 > 2:57:08Grainne, when you look at residential, Manchester has seen a
2:57:08 > 2:57:12lot of residential building. But who is putting money into that?It
2:57:12 > 2:57:16depends what you are looking at. We've seen the bill to rent sector
2:57:16 > 2:57:20which is an emerging sector in the UK. Big institutions are backing
2:57:20 > 2:57:24rental accommodation. They will build blocks, they can be the
2:57:24 > 2:57:31landlord and that is attractive to young professionals who want a more
2:57:31 > 2:57:36flexible tenure.The rents are quite high, aren't they?They want to feel
2:57:36 > 2:57:41their properties so the rent will be at the consummate level that they
2:57:41 > 2:57:44see there is demand for in that area. There will be a local market
2:57:44 > 2:57:48for many of these big projects. The institutions there want to keep
2:57:48 > 2:57:53those properties. They are looking for long-term income. They aren't in
2:57:53 > 2:57:59it for the short-term. They want stable income.Thank you very much.
2:57:59 > 2:58:05I will carry on counting. As the sun gets higher I can see more cranes in
2:58:05 > 2:58:16the distance. I'm up to 20 now for Manchester alone. STUDIO: Thank you.
2:58:16 > 2:58:21If you'd like to let him know how many cranes you can see I'm sure
2:58:21 > 2:58:26he'd be interested!
2:58:26 > 2:58:29Now to a story of a barrister which packs a real punch.
2:58:29 > 2:58:31After years as an amateur boxer, Tony Kent was drawn
2:58:31 > 2:58:34to a different kind of fight - in a court room.
2:58:34 > 2:58:37Inspired by watching a QC defend his brother in a robbery trial,
2:58:37 > 2:58:40he ditched the gloves for the bar and went on to appear
2:58:40 > 2:58:42in high profile cases - including defending boxer
2:58:42 > 2:58:44Anthony Joshua in a drugs case.
2:58:44 > 2:58:47But now he's turning his talented hands to writing fiction and has
2:58:47 > 2:58:48published his first novel.
2:58:48 > 2:58:55Tony joins us now.
2:58:55 > 2:59:03Good morning. It's an extraordinary career from a barrister writer. When
2:59:03 > 2:59:09you first realised that being a barrister might be something you
2:59:09 > 2:59:16wanted to do.I was 14 years old. I grew up an a council estate, my
2:59:16 > 2:59:20parents worked very hard. We were very much a working-class of
2:59:20 > 2:59:26builders. In our family that's what you are expected to do, it's what I
2:59:26 > 2:59:37expected to do as
2:59:37 > 2:59:42We come from an enormous family and my eldest brother has had his own
2:59:42 > 2:59:48troubles during his life. When I was 14 years old he was standing trial
2:59:48 > 2:59:53for a serious offence with serious consequences if he were found
2:59:53 > 2:59:57guilty. When I was watching it, I completely forgot my brother was on
2:59:57 > 3:00:02trial because I was taken by what the barrister was doing. He was just
3:00:02 > 3:00:09so incredible that what he did. He took apart a case, it was one of
3:00:09 > 3:00:14those occasions and thankfully they are rare, when a police officer was
3:00:14 > 3:00:17lying about something significant. This was a well-known police officer
3:00:17 > 3:00:25in the area, all of the kids knew him, he's not the poster boy for the
3:00:25 > 3:00:29Met. He wasn't a typical police officer, but he wasn't a nice guy
3:00:29 > 3:00:37and on the third day of being cross-examined he called in sick and
3:00:37 > 3:00:41refuse to come to court and the case was kicked out. But I forgot my
3:00:41 > 3:00:46brother was on trial, I was taken by this professional and from that
3:00:46 > 3:00:50point onwards that's what I wanted to do. It was an aspiration and
3:00:50 > 3:00:55something we were never expected to be able to do. In fact my mum said
3:00:55 > 3:01:00great, aim for it, don't tell anybody because they will laugh at
3:01:00 > 3:01:06you.So how did you get into that profession?I spent the next few
3:01:06 > 3:01:13years living
3:01:13 > 3:01:15years living my life as I always did. I wasn't the greatest at home
3:01:15 > 3:01:18work, I took a lot of time to go working with my dad. I was basically
3:01:18 > 3:01:23getting ready to be billed as well. I did quite well for my GCSEs so I
3:01:23 > 3:01:29stayed for a level was unexpected. Suddenly it was decided you might
3:01:29 > 3:01:35want to try and do this so I applied for university, started a law degree
3:01:35 > 3:01:43and it went from there.Alongside all of that you were boxing as well?
3:01:43 > 3:01:49Yes, I started boxing when... Family of builders, a family of boxers. As
3:01:49 > 3:01:53soon as we could walk, there were gloves and pants and we were
3:01:53 > 3:02:01learning to punch. I was training to compete from 12 years old, -- there
3:02:01 > 3:02:12were gloves and pads. When I went to university, it was hand in glove
3:02:12 > 3:02:20with the law degree. I continued and with all due respect the level was
3:02:20 > 3:02:32not particularly high so I won every thing there was to win. That made me
3:02:32 > 3:02:37feel quite good, and since then I went on to bar school and became a
3:02:37 > 3:02:42barrister and since then I have trained barrister to box.So where
3:02:42 > 3:02:48do you find time to write a book? This there's a lot of travelling in
3:02:48 > 3:02:54my job and a lot of being in hotel rooms. I will be in Sheffield for
3:02:54 > 3:02:59eight weeks for a trial, I will be away from my wife and I will use the
3:02:59 > 3:03:06opportunity to write in the evening. So what is it for you, is it an
3:03:06 > 3:03:10escape, the writing, or way of working things out?It's almost like
3:03:10 > 3:03:16a compulsion if I'm honest. I had the idea for the first book, Killer
3:03:16 > 3:03:21Intent, when I was 22. Then my career began and it took up far too
3:03:21 > 3:03:27much time, so I parked it, then 12 years later went back to it and it
3:03:27 > 3:03:33has become the book we released this week.Tel us a bit about the book.
3:03:33 > 3:03:38You have sold the film rights.It begins with an assassination attempt
3:03:38 > 3:03:42in Trafalgar Square which looks like it has gone wrong in that the wrong
3:03:42 > 3:03:48people seem to have died and what follows is three main characters,
3:03:48 > 3:03:52who are in their own ways independently drawn into the
3:03:52 > 3:03:56aftermath. You have an intelligence agent, a barrister funnily enough
3:03:56 > 3:04:07who is...Boxer?No, but a barrister that comes from a family of villains
3:04:07 > 3:04:13so there is the brother connection there! Then there is a CNN
3:04:13 > 3:04:17journalist, who was an American character, and they are drawn into
3:04:17 > 3:04:21the aftermath and ultimately deal with it together.So the first book
3:04:21 > 3:04:27is out, you have written the second book and have the plot for how many
3:04:27 > 3:04:34more?In total, 17. I had 18 but I have taken one of those which was
3:04:34 > 3:04:38kind of shoehorned in to be an independent film, independent from
3:04:38 > 3:04:44the series.Have you got a sheet at home where it is mapped out?I have
3:04:44 > 3:04:48a plan, I gave it to my publisher and I think he had a heart attack
3:04:48 > 3:04:56when he saw it! If I do on a year I will nearly 60 so I might need to
3:04:56 > 3:05:01hurry up.I like the fact you have it perfectly planned out. Your book
3:05:01 > 3:05:06is being made into a film, I've never spoken to barrister or anyone
3:05:06 > 3:05:12who works in the legal profession who when they see their job
3:05:12 > 3:05:16portrayed on television or film doesn't moan about the way it is. Is
3:05:16 > 3:05:26it anything that it's close? Kavanagh QC isn't bad, although I
3:05:26 > 3:05:36wasn't a barrister at that time. Some of them are awful. There are
3:05:36 > 3:05:40couple of things, were to make the plot work, we have had to tweak so
3:05:40 > 3:05:45they are not quite accurate but people will understand why. What I
3:05:45 > 3:05:49can't understand is when they change things for the hell of it and some
3:05:49 > 3:05:54programmes you feel the hairs on the back of your neck going up.Lovely
3:05:54 > 3:06:01to meet you. The book is called Killer Intent.
3:06:01 > 3:07:41We will be chatting about the moon. But
3:07:41 > 3:07:42We will be chatting about the moon. evening with a top temperature of
3:07:42 > 3:07:44six or seven Celsius.
3:07:44 > 3:07:45That's it.
3:07:45 > 3:07:50I'll be back with the lunchtime news at 1.30pm on BBC One.
3:07:50 > 3:07:53It's worth looking up at the sky tomorrow night.
3:07:53 > 3:07:56If you're lucky, you'll see a so-called
3:07:56 > 3:07:58"super, blue blood moon".
3:07:58 > 3:08:00It happens when the second full moon of the month clashes
3:08:00 > 3:08:04with a supermoon at the same time as a lunar eclipse, creating a deep
3:08:04 > 3:08:06red glow on its surface.
3:08:06 > 3:08:10It'll be the first time we can see it since 1862.
3:08:10 > 3:08:12It's discussed further in the new BBC documentary
3:08:12 > 3:08:13Wonders of the Moon.
3:08:13 > 3:08:16Let's take a look.
3:08:16 > 3:08:18MUSIC: "Man On The Moon" by REM.
3:08:18 > 3:08:21Just 12 humans have left their boot prints on the moon.
3:08:21 > 3:08:25Alan Bean is one of them.
3:08:25 > 3:08:28Nobody is good enough to deserve a chance of all the people
3:08:28 > 3:08:33on Earth to go and do this.
3:08:33 > 3:08:36No one is that good relative to others, do you see?
3:08:36 > 3:08:37I wasn't either, OK?
3:08:37 > 3:08:41But I got lucky.
3:08:41 > 3:08:44On the 19th of November 1969, after a journey of four days,
3:08:44 > 3:08:46Alan and fellow astronaut Pete Conrad began their final
3:08:46 > 3:08:54descent to the moon.
3:08:54 > 3:08:57What Pete and I were thinking about when we came down,
3:08:57 > 3:08:58"is this going to work?"
3:08:58 > 3:09:02That's what you're thinking about.
3:09:02 > 3:09:05Then you get down, you look out the window, you pat
3:09:05 > 3:09:09each other on the back, you know, we're here!
3:09:09 > 3:09:11# If you believe
3:09:11 > 3:09:14# They put a man on the moon
3:09:14 > 3:09:22# Man on the moon...#.
3:09:25 > 3:09:30Well, we're joined now by Dr Sheila Kanani
3:09:30 > 3:09:33from the Royal Astronomical Society, and Tom Kerrs, who is an atronomer
3:09:33 > 3:09:36from the Royal Astronomical Society, and Tom Kerrs, who is an astronomer
3:09:36 > 3:09:38at The Royal Observatory, who both appear in the documentary,
3:09:38 > 3:09:41thank you for joining us.
3:09:41 > 3:09:47Tel us about tomorrow night.It is a really nice programme, it is on
3:09:47 > 3:09:55tomorrow night on BBC One and it looks through all four phases. It
3:09:55 > 3:10:00goes to America during the eclipse, it goes to China, there is a bit of
3:10:00 > 3:10:12me at Greenwich.Tom, your hand appears.My right hand, yes!2017
3:10:12 > 3:10:17was an incredible year for moon watchers, why did that happen?
3:10:17 > 3:10:21Partly because there is a huge amount of interest in supermoons at
3:10:21 > 3:10:27the moment. There's a lot of interest in the full moon but that
3:10:27 > 3:10:34could just be a phase... ! There is a renewed interest in moon watching
3:10:34 > 3:10:37and we have some unusually large supermoons at the end of last year
3:10:37 > 3:10:41and the beginning of this year as well. Because we have a second full
3:10:41 > 3:10:46moon this month we have what is called a blue moon which is a modern
3:10:46 > 3:10:52colloquialism. A blue
3:10:54 > 3:10:57colloquialism. A blue moon now is generally expected -- accepted to be
3:10:57 > 3:11:03the second full moon in a month.And a lot of what the programme talks
3:11:03 > 3:11:12about is that the moon can affect us in interesting ways.Yes, the moon
3:11:12 > 3:11:18is the starting point for many people in astronomy and has affected
3:11:18 > 3:11:26the cultures all over the world but it is not just the human impact, it
3:11:26 > 3:11:32is nature as well such as coral spawning and so many animals which
3:11:32 > 3:11:38dictate their lives to the phases of the moon.Is it true the moon is egg
3:11:38 > 3:11:43shaped?It is not perfectly round, none of the planet are neither is
3:11:43 > 3:11:49the moon but egg shaped might be pushing it a little bit!That was
3:11:49 > 3:11:55one of mine moon facts. Only 12 men have ever walked on the moon and it
3:11:55 > 3:12:02would take nine years to walk... We talk about it all the time. There is
3:12:02 > 3:12:10a real fascination and that's why a probe -- programme like this could
3:12:10 > 3:12:15be so popular.Yes, to see it all you need is a clear night and you
3:12:15 > 3:12:19don't need any specialist equipment. The fact human beings have gone to
3:12:19 > 3:12:24the moon and back should be the next stepping stone if we want to explore
3:12:24 > 3:12:30the solar system further in terms of missions.Yes, we are part of the
3:12:30 > 3:12:34moon story now, it is a barren world but it's really a museum of the
3:12:34 > 3:12:38illness illness system's history. It has a record of bombardment from
3:12:38 > 3:12:44when the planets were younger. The moon is the master of the tides and
3:12:44 > 3:12:49I know biologist but the consensus is without the tides there would be
3:12:49 > 3:12:54no life on Earth.Is it important we get back to the moon from your point
3:12:54 > 3:13:01of view?If we are looking at travelling out
3:13:09 > 3:13:12into the solar system, beyond the moon is unnecessary stepping stone,
3:13:12 > 3:13:14so establishing a colony on the moon is great importance to scientists
3:13:14 > 3:13:17and its omission many people are looking to undertake so I think it
3:13:17 > 3:13:19is something we will see probably sooner than we think.I can
3:13:19 > 3:13:21guarantee Louise will be watching it.
3:13:21 > 3:13:26Yes, lovely to see you, so we should be watching out tomorrow for this
3:13:26 > 3:13:29special moon as well. Thank you.
3:13:29 > 3:13:32You can see Dr Kanani and Tom in Wonders of the Moon
3:13:32 > 3:13:35here on BBC One tomorrow at 9pm.
3:13:35 > 3:13:39Thank you for joining us, we will be back tomorrow from six o'clock. Have
3:13:39 > 3:13:41a lovely day.
