0:00:05 > 0:00:10Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
0:00:10 > 0:00:12Theresa May insists she's not a quitter as she touches
0:00:12 > 0:00:13down in China.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15After criticism from Conservative MPs,
0:00:15 > 0:00:17the Prime Minister has defended her leadership saying she's
0:00:17 > 0:00:25in it for the long-haul.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Good morning, it's Wednesday the 31st of January.
0:00:39 > 0:00:41Also this morning: Time to rediscover the American dream.
0:00:41 > 0:00:43Donald Trump tackles immigration and the economy
0:00:43 > 0:00:51as he delivers his first State of the Union address.
0:00:53 > 0:00:56The BBC pay row heads to parliament.
0:00:56 > 0:00:59The former China editor Carrie Gracie and the Director General,
0:00:59 > 0:01:02Tony Hall, will face questions from a group of MPs.
0:01:02 > 0:01:02Good morning.
0:01:02 > 0:01:03the
0:01:03 > 0:01:07The number of cars we made in the UK last year FELL for the first time
0:01:07 > 0:01:10since 2009, and investment in the industry was down sharply,
0:01:10 > 0:01:14so I'll be looking at what that means for the hundreds of thousands
0:01:14 > 0:01:15of workers in the sector.
0:01:15 > 0:01:15Good morning.
0:01:15 > 0:01:18In sport, Swansea are out of the Premier League relegation
0:01:18 > 0:01:21zone for the first time since November after this howler
0:01:21 > 0:01:26from Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech.
0:01:26 > 0:01:30Talking through her blowhole.
0:01:30 > 0:01:33We'll find out why scientists have helped Wikie the orca to become
0:01:33 > 0:01:35the world's first speaking whale.
0:01:35 > 0:01:36And Carol has the weather.
0:01:36 > 0:01:42thankfully always easy to understand.
0:01:42 > 0:01:45Hello from outside the BBC in London. Patchy rain around in the
0:01:45 > 0:01:50south but we've got some snow even at lower levels in parts of Scotland
0:01:50 > 0:01:53and Northern Ireland and northern England today. In between there will
0:01:53 > 0:01:57be sunshine but it's going to feel colder than it did yesterday. More
0:01:57 > 0:02:00in 15 minutes.
0:02:00 > 0:02:01Good morning.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04First, our main story.
0:02:04 > 0:02:09The Prime Minister has responded to a series of attacks
0:02:09 > 0:02:11on her leadership by declaring she's not a quitter.
0:02:11 > 0:02:15Theresa May told journalists there was a long term job to be
0:02:15 > 0:02:19done and that she was serving her country and party.
0:02:19 > 0:02:22More on that through the programme. We will speak to the schools
0:02:22 > 0:02:29minister later to ask him about the fact that Theresa May has come out
0:02:29 > 0:02:33and said this quote about not being a quitter and also lots to talk
0:02:33 > 0:02:37about with regards to Brexit and labour asking for the full release
0:02:37 > 0:02:40of the leaked document we talked about yesterday on the programme.
0:02:40 > 0:02:45More on that through the programme.
0:02:45 > 0:02:48President Trump has said he's taken forward his righteous mission
0:02:48 > 0:02:51to make America great again during his first year in office.
0:02:51 > 0:02:53In his first State of the Union address,
0:02:53 > 0:02:56Mr Trump said he'd introduced record tax cuts for everyone,
0:02:56 > 0:02:58the stock market was booming, jobs
0:02:58 > 0:03:01were being created and unemployment
0:03:01 > 0:03:04was at a record low.
0:03:04 > 0:03:09The era of economic surrender is totally over. Unemployment claims
0:03:09 > 0:03:15have hit a 45 year low. For many years companies and jobs were only
0:03:15 > 0:03:23leaving us, but now they are roaring back, they're coming back, they want
0:03:23 > 0:03:28to be where the action is, they want to be in the United States of
0:03:28 > 0:03:33America. That's what they want.
0:03:33 > 0:03:40David Willis was listening closely, what is your analysis?Very
0:03:40 > 0:03:43considerate read tone struck by President Trump. Not something we
0:03:43 > 0:03:47are used to perhaps from him. He talked about the need for
0:03:47 > 0:03:53immigration reform. He said that they should put aside the
0:03:53 > 0:03:57differences they have in Congress and seek out common ground as he put
0:03:57 > 0:04:05it. He also said he was keeping Guantanamo be, the military prison
0:04:05 > 0:04:10in Cuba that his predecessor, Barack Obama, had tried so hard to close,
0:04:10 > 0:04:18open. He put the spotlight on a crippled North Korean defector who
0:04:18 > 0:04:22waved a crutch in the air as he received a standing ovation from
0:04:22 > 0:04:28members of Congress. It was one hours and 20 minutes, the third
0:04:28 > 0:04:33longest State of the Union address on record and it offered very few
0:04:33 > 0:04:38new details on how he planned to go about framing the legislation he
0:04:38 > 0:04:43spoke of but it's a new conciliatory tone but the question is, how long
0:04:43 > 0:04:48will it last?David, we don't know the answer but thank you very much
0:04:48 > 0:04:55for that. More on that at around 6:40am.
0:05:06 > 0:05:10The research is incomplete and they are rejecting calls to disclose the
0:05:10 > 0:05:14findings but Labour plans to trigger a Commons vote to ensure the
0:05:14 > 0:05:17information is revealed.
0:05:17 > 0:05:23We are forced in effect to use an ancient procedure to ask the
0:05:23 > 0:05:26government, forced the government to pass over these documents in
0:05:26 > 0:05:38confidence if necessary, but we need to be able to do our job here.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41The Director General of the BBC, Tony Hall, will appear before MPs
0:05:41 > 0:05:43today as the corporation faces further scrutiny over
0:05:43 > 0:05:44gender pay inequality.
0:05:44 > 0:05:46The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee will also
0:05:46 > 0:05:49hear from the BBC's former China editor Carrie Gracie,
0:05:49 > 0:05:51who resigned from her role in protest at inequalities.
0:05:51 > 0:05:54Here's our media and arts correspondent, David Sillito.
0:05:54 > 0:05:57Carrie Gracie used to be the BBC's China editor. She stepped down
0:05:57 > 0:06:01earlier this month in a protest over pay. A comparable male colleague,
0:06:01 > 0:06:05was, she said, being paid more than 50% more than her and today she is
0:06:05 > 0:06:12going to face MPs to discuss the way the BBC treats women. So too is the
0:06:12 > 0:06:15corporation's director-general, Tony Hall, just a day after a report in
0:06:15 > 0:06:21which he said changes had to be made.I think this is a culture
0:06:21 > 0:06:25change. It takes time. What I've learned over the last three, four,
0:06:25 > 0:06:29five, six months is we've got to go faster at this, much much faster and
0:06:29 > 0:06:34that's what I'm committing to today. I want us to go faster, I want us to
0:06:34 > 0:06:38be exemplary for equality because I profoundly believe it's right.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41Within the BBC the group representing women fighting for pay
0:06:41 > 0:06:45a quality have more than a few doubts. This meeting with MPs is a
0:06:45 > 0:06:49chance to present evidence not considered by the report. The
0:06:49 > 0:06:53stories of women paid half or even a third of salt, what some of their
0:06:53 > 0:06:57male colleagues were receiving. The BBC says it's going to change. This
0:06:57 > 0:07:06enquiry wants to know if it will really make a difference.
0:07:06 > 0:07:12really make a difference. David Sillito, BBC News.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22A light aircraft that crashed in Australia on New Year's Eve
0:07:22 > 0:07:24killing five members of a British family had veered significantly
0:07:24 > 0:07:26off its intended course, according to investigators.
0:07:26 > 0:07:28In total six people were killed, including
0:07:28 > 0:07:29the Canadian pilot.
0:07:29 > 0:07:32The boss of the flight operator said the pilot's manoeuvres leading up
0:07:32 > 0:07:35to the crash as 'inexplicable' for someone with so much experience.
0:07:35 > 0:07:39There is still 'no preferred theory' as to why the plane went off course.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42There are calls for the government to fortify flour with folic acid
0:07:42 > 0:07:45to help protect babies in the UK from common birth defects.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47Researchers from the University of London say higher
0:07:47 > 0:07:50doses of the vitamin, which prevents conditions such
0:07:50 > 0:07:52as spina bifida, do not cause harm, despite previous evidence.
0:07:52 > 0:07:54Here's our health correspondent, Adina Campbell.
0:07:54 > 0:07:57Folic acid is crucial in the first four weeks of a baby's development,
0:07:57 > 0:08:01but awareness varies.I decided to take folic acid six months before we
0:08:01 > 0:08:07decided to get pregnant. Most of my friends are not aware about folic
0:08:07 > 0:08:10acid.I'd remember taking it, I didn't know much about it to be
0:08:10 > 0:08:15honest.With my five-year-old once I found out I was pregnant I took it
0:08:15 > 0:08:20but I didn't even know you had to take it before conceiving a baby.To
0:08:20 > 0:08:25insure all babies have the best start in life, scientists and some
0:08:25 > 0:08:29charities have now renewed calls for folic acid to be added to flower in
0:08:29 > 0:08:35the UK after a new study suggests higher doses of the vitamin are not
0:08:35 > 0:08:41harmful. It found there was no link between folic acid and neurological
0:08:41 > 0:08:45damage with no need for an upper limit and that previous evidence was
0:08:45 > 0:08:51out of date and flawed.To win in a day have a termination of pregnancy
0:08:51 > 0:08:57on account of a diagnosis of a neural true defect. If much of that
0:08:57 > 0:09:03or part of that even can be avoided by fortification, well, that's a
0:09:03 > 0:09:09good thing.The Department of Health in England says it's now carefully
0:09:09 > 0:09:14considering conclusions from this latest research, while Wales,
0:09:14 > 0:09:18Scotland and Northern Ireland already support the idea. Folic acid
0:09:18 > 0:09:23is already found in flour in more than 80 countries worldwide.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27Scientists say this latest study offers more evidence of overwhelming
0:09:27 > 0:09:33benefits. Adina Campbell, BBC News.
0:09:33 > 0:09:36The Prime Minister has responded to a series of attacks
0:09:36 > 0:09:38on her leadership by declaring she's not a quitter.
0:09:38 > 0:09:42Theresa May told journalists there was a long term job to be
0:09:42 > 0:09:44done and that she was serving her country and party.
0:09:44 > 0:09:47She made the comments before touching down in China
0:09:47 > 0:09:48on a trade mission.
0:09:48 > 0:09:50Mrs May is hoping to strengthen relations with Beijing,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53but said she wouldn't shy away from the difficult issues.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56Let's speak to our China correspondent Robin Brant.
0:09:56 > 0:10:01Robin, good morning. From what she has had to say before she's even
0:10:01 > 0:10:04arrived in China, you can tell this is an important trip for the Prime
0:10:04 > 0:10:12Minister?Hugely important anyway for the UK economy irrespective of
0:10:12 > 0:10:17leadership concerns or Brexit, China is heading for the world's biggest
0:10:17 > 0:10:22economy spot and the UK only exports about £17 billion of goods and
0:10:22 > 0:10:26services to it a year, it exports more to Belgium, so there has to be
0:10:26 > 0:10:30improvement in terms of where China is going and if the UK will benefit
0:10:30 > 0:10:35from this economic relationship. She's been at a university in Wuhan,
0:10:35 > 0:10:41five hours from here on the train, a huge student population, the export
0:10:41 > 0:10:47of education is a big deal for the UK and there's financial services
0:10:47 > 0:10:50and legal services, insurance, China signalled late last year it is
0:10:50 > 0:10:52looking to change the ownership rules so British firms can
0:10:52 > 0:10:57capitalise on that here but the issue of leadership has followed her
0:10:57 > 0:11:00here, as always. In comments to colleagues on the plane over she had
0:11:00 > 0:11:03this to
0:11:10 > 0:11:16on a snipe from a former minister, a Tory MP, suggesting she is governing
0:11:16 > 0:11:20like a tortoise when what the country needs is a lion. This is
0:11:20 > 0:11:26what she said:
0:11:27 > 0:11:32The focus on this trip is very much trade but I think she is lukewarm in
0:11:32 > 0:11:36comparison to her predecessor David Cameron on the China UK
0:11:36 > 0:11:39relationship. She has concerns about China capital and respecting the
0:11:39 > 0:11:43rule book when it comes to international trade, that is
0:11:43 > 0:11:46something she reminded the Chinese about in a piece in the Financial
0:11:46 > 0:11:50Times this morning but she said you will address issues of Hong Kong and
0:11:50 > 0:11:51human rights behind-the-scenes.
0:11:51 > 0:11:53Two officials from Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency have
0:11:53 > 0:11:56resigned after a ballistic missile alert was sent in error.
0:11:56 > 0:11:58It took the authorities 38 minutes to correct the message
0:11:58 > 0:12:00which caused widespread panic across the island
0:12:00 > 0:12:01earlier this month.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04A third man thought to be responsible for the message
0:12:04 > 0:12:05has been fired.
0:12:05 > 0:12:07An investigation found a combination of human error and inadequate
0:12:07 > 0:12:15safeguards were responsible.
0:12:28 > 0:12:31Let's introduce you to Wikie the whale.
0:12:31 > 0:12:34She's in many of the papers this morning for being the first whale
0:12:34 > 0:12:36in the world to speak English.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39Researchers were keen to learn more about the way killer
0:12:39 > 0:12:41whales communicate and whether, like humans, they could learn
0:12:41 > 0:12:43new dialect by imitating sounds.
0:12:43 > 0:12:45So, they taught Wikie some new words.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Let's take a listen.
0:12:48 > 0:12:50One, two, three.
0:12:53 > 0:13:06One, two, three.There's another one, there's another one. Have we
0:13:06 > 0:13:15got hello? Was that hello? One, two, three, could you tell it was that?
0:13:15 > 0:13:19If I think I spoke whale it would be one, two, three.
0:13:19 > 0:13:21Wikie also learnt some other words during the experiment,
0:13:21 > 0:13:23including hello and the name Amy.
0:13:23 > 0:13:26Scientists say the ability to learn new sounds is a sign of intelligence
0:13:26 > 0:13:33and is very rare amongst mammals.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37We will talk about her more later but she's in captivity, she isn't
0:13:37 > 0:13:40going to be released, they are trying to work with her so they can
0:13:40 > 0:13:45learn and help other animals in the wild.To me that sounded like
0:13:45 > 0:13:50something very different from one, two, three. Maybe if you are tuned
0:13:50 > 0:13:59to the whale noise.Her hello is much more convincing.
0:13:59 > 0:14:03much more convincing.we will try to get the bottom of this one!
0:14:03 > 0:14:09That is the news this morning! Carol will have the weather in a few
0:14:09 > 0:14:16minutes. Sonali is here, is it transfer deadline day today?As if
0:14:16 > 0:14:21you don't have it as a huge part of your calendar! It is. Until 11pm
0:14:21 > 0:14:26everyone has the chance to buy who they want for the rest of the
0:14:26 > 0:14:31season. Did you see the Arsenal game yesterday?I saw Petr Cech have a
0:14:31 > 0:14:37shocker.Huge celebrations at the live Liberty Stadium, after beating
0:14:37 > 0:14:41Liverpool last week they beat Arsenal yesterday 3-1, takes them
0:14:41 > 0:14:45out of the relegation zone for the first time since November and the
0:14:45 > 0:14:50new boss was talking about how they aren't dead any more, they have
0:14:50 > 0:14:53breathed new life into themselves, he has, he has quite a cult
0:14:53 > 0:14:59following with fans and they have breathed new life into their season.
0:14:59 > 0:15:02Gunners goalkeeper Petr Cech certainly gave them a helping hand,
0:15:02 > 0:15:05have a look at his error.
0:15:05 > 0:15:07It allowed Swansea's Jordan Ayew
0:15:07 > 0:15:10to score a tap-in which put the hosts ahead, before a second
0:15:10 > 0:15:14goal from Sam Clucas made sure a win was in the bag.
0:15:14 > 0:15:16Liverpool put successive defeats behind them with a 3-0
0:15:16 > 0:15:17win over Huddersfield.
0:15:17 > 0:15:21Emre Can scored the pick of the goals as manager Jurgen Klopp
0:15:21 > 0:15:22got the better of his best friend's
0:15:22 > 0:15:28team for the second time this season.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Football clubs have until 11pm tonight to finalise any last minute
0:15:31 > 0:15:39deals before the transfer window shuts.
0:15:43 > 0:15:45Spending by Premier League sides this month has already surpassed
0:15:45 > 0:15:47£250 million, a record for January.
0:15:47 > 0:15:51One move Arsenal will hope to sort is that of Borussia Dortmund striker
0:15:51 > 0:15:51Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
0:15:51 > 0:15:55Wales have named their side to play Scotland in the opening match of the
0:15:55 > 0:15:59Six Nations on Saturday. The top try scorer in the premiership Josh Adams
0:15:59 > 0:16:02will make his debut. Wales are missing about 500 caps of experience
0:16:02 > 0:16:11going into this year's Championship because of key injuries.
0:16:11 > 0:16:14I can't wait for it to start. Looking forward
0:16:14 > 0:16:15I can't wait for it to start. Looking forward to that this
0:16:15 > 0:16:21weekend. Carol is out and about, she has the big coat on, because it is
0:16:21 > 0:16:26chilly out.Yes, it is, and in the south this morning the temperatures
0:16:26 > 0:16:30are as high as they will be today. After this morning they will tend to
0:16:30 > 0:16:34go down. In terms of the rest of the UK it is a cold start, cold air
0:16:34 > 0:16:39filtering straight down from Iceland and also the risk of ice first thing
0:16:39 > 0:16:42this morning if you are travelling. The forecast for today is a cold
0:16:42 > 0:16:46wind and also some wintry showers. If we take a look at the graphics
0:16:46 > 0:16:50around the country, we already have that across Scotland. Quite a bit of
0:16:50 > 0:16:54snow falling in the last hour or two, so snow showers and in between
0:16:54 > 0:16:58them through the day we will see drier and brighter conditions. At
0:16:58 > 0:17:039am the temperature in Aberdeen will be two Celsius. Showers across the
0:17:03 > 0:17:08Pennines, for example, but in between brighter skies, and a lot of
0:17:08 > 0:17:12dry weather as well. Coming south, two weather fronts weakening as they
0:17:12 > 0:17:15pushed southwards. The rain increasingly turning more patchy.
0:17:15 > 0:17:19Hit and miss whether you get it, we have some in London but it is fairly
0:17:19 > 0:17:24light. In between it will be brighter and in the south-west it is
0:17:24 > 0:17:27a cold start as well. It will become colder through the course of the
0:17:27 > 0:17:32morning. In Wales, one or two showers, some of them with some wet
0:17:32 > 0:17:36snow or hail as we go through the day, and for Northern Ireland we are
0:17:36 > 0:17:40back into the proper snow, and in between some brighter skies. Most of
0:17:40 > 0:17:44the accumulations of snow today will be on the hills, or indeed in the
0:17:44 > 0:17:49mountains. As we go through the day, we hang on to those snow showers in
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Scotland, northern England and Northern Ireland, interspersed with
0:17:52 > 0:17:59some brighter skies. We lose the weather fronts from the south, and
0:17:59 > 0:18:02behind them some brighter conditions and sunshine coming through. And
0:18:02 > 0:18:07still some showers. It will go down, generally between we are looking
0:18:07 > 0:18:11between three and five Celsius. As we head into the evening and
0:18:11 > 0:18:14overnight, it will be still windy. We are looking at some gales across
0:18:14 > 0:18:18parts of the North and north-east of Scotland, for example, and it will
0:18:18 > 0:18:23be a windy night generally. We still have the snow showers in the north,
0:18:23 > 0:18:27the risk of ice, one or two showers further south but a lot of dry
0:18:27 > 0:18:31weather. Tomorrow, the strongest winds will be across the north and
0:18:31 > 0:18:34north-west of Scotland, with exposure. Once again we could be
0:18:34 > 0:18:41looking at gales. Still some wintry showers in the north, but they are
0:18:41 > 0:18:44still showers so a lot of us missing them and seeing some dry condition.
0:18:44 > 0:18:48A breezy day, temperatures a little bit higher than we were looking at
0:18:48 > 0:18:52today, but only a little bit. As we head on into Friday, a region of
0:18:52 > 0:18:55high pressure builds across us. For most of us it will settle down.
0:18:55 > 0:19:00Again, a lot of dry weather. A fair bit of sunshine around. Showers and
0:19:00 > 0:19:05exposure in the east, that is where the strongest wind will be, and as
0:19:05 > 0:19:09we head into the weekend we have a weather front coming our way. Again
0:19:09 > 0:19:12it will be introducing some rain. As that rain bumps into the colder air,
0:19:12 > 0:19:16there is a chance some of us could see some snow this weekend. However,
0:19:16 > 0:19:21that could change. I want to put it out there so you are aware of it,
0:19:21 > 0:19:24and I will keep you updated with what is happening as we go through
0:19:24 > 0:19:29the rest of the week.Thank you very much. We will see you in half an
0:19:29 > 0:19:29hour.
0:19:29 > 0:19:32This morning, and all day BBC News is looking at how Brexit
0:19:32 > 0:19:34could affect Britain's border security.
0:19:34 > 0:19:37The Government wants a new treaty, setting out a close security
0:19:37 > 0:19:39relationship with Europe, but the head of Europol,
0:19:39 > 0:19:42the European law enforcement agency, is warning that the UK
0:19:42 > 0:19:44will have to get the right deal from the EU
0:19:44 > 0:19:46to maintain a prominent role.
0:19:46 > 0:19:47Let's get more detail now from Breakfast's John Maguire
0:19:47 > 0:19:48Let's get more detail now from Breakfast's John Maguire
0:19:48 > 0:19:52who is at the Portsmouth International Ferry Terminal for us.
0:19:52 > 0:19:58Follow the footsteps, John?Exactly, you have stolen my opening line. It
0:19:58 > 0:20:03is the footsteps to Brexit, that is what we are looking out over the
0:20:03 > 0:20:07next 14 months or so. Some of the most important things and perhaps
0:20:07 > 0:20:10some of the things you were thinking about when you went into the polling
0:20:10 > 0:20:16booths 18 months ago, were about our borders and security. But borders,
0:20:16 > 0:20:20security and trade are all intrinsically linked. It is a bit
0:20:20 > 0:20:25quiet at the terminal this morning. The first nominal comes in from the
0:20:25 > 0:20:30Channel Islands at 6:30 a.m., mainly freight. This is the second biggest
0:20:30 > 0:20:35cross-channel port after Dover, here in Portsmouth, and 8:15am is the
0:20:35 > 0:20:39first departure to northern France of passengers. They take 90% of the
0:20:39 > 0:20:45passengers leaving here are Brits going across to the EU, in the
0:20:45 > 0:20:50northern Spain and also northern France. Mainly people going on
0:20:50 > 0:20:55holiday. 2 million passengers a year go through here, still a very, very
0:20:55 > 0:21:00important place. I want to introduce you to Doctor Peter Lee, from the
0:21:00 > 0:21:04University of Portsmouth. You are a security expert. Give us an idea of
0:21:04 > 0:21:08the type of considerations there are at the moment, the type of things
0:21:08 > 0:21:12people are thinking about when they consider how we will deal with
0:21:12 > 0:21:19security in places like this after Brexit.Well, places like the port
0:21:19 > 0:21:23here are facing the real nitty-gritty questions, so how many
0:21:23 > 0:21:26more freight trucks will come in and how many will need to be checked if
0:21:26 > 0:21:30we don't have free movement of goods. How many more people need
0:21:30 > 0:21:34more thorough checks? So there are some positive sides, if you are a
0:21:34 > 0:21:39Brexit supporter, you can be more sure the country can keep people out
0:21:39 > 0:21:43who perhaps we don't want to have in, and you may wish to be able to
0:21:43 > 0:21:46return prisoners after they have committed crimes in the UK. That is
0:21:46 > 0:21:50one side. The other side is how do you actually have the
0:21:50 > 0:21:54infrastructure, how many more staff are unique, and even that needs to
0:21:54 > 0:21:59be kept in the context of actually the really big defence things, like
0:21:59 > 0:22:04defending the UK, falls to NATO and is not an EU thing anyway. With
0:22:04 > 0:22:09Brexit and security it is a mixture of a great amount of continuity with
0:22:09 > 0:22:13some amount of change.Thank you very much indeed. More from Peter
0:22:13 > 0:22:18and other guests at Portsmouth later on. Things will get easier as the
0:22:18 > 0:22:23fairies come and go across the Channel.Thank you very much, we
0:22:23 > 0:22:27will see you later.And we will be looking at that issue throughout Rex
0:22:27 > 0:22:31is this morning, and it will be one of the features throughout the
0:22:31 > 0:22:39entire day across the BBC.Shall we have a look at the front pages of
0:22:39 > 0:22:43the newspapers? The Daily Telegraph, and I think we talked about this
0:22:43 > 0:22:48story yesterday, and this is about carmakers. An expert, Sir David King
0:22:48 > 0:22:52saying it is astonishing that carmakers had performed experiments
0:22:52 > 0:23:00on monkeys, which have caused deaths in the UK. There is more
0:23:00 > 0:23:03investigation to be done on that, and lots of pictures of the Duchess
0:23:03 > 0:23:08of Cambridge, who was in the royal palace of Stockholm yesterday.They
0:23:08 > 0:23:11revealed that they have some IKEA furniture, didn't they?Well, who
0:23:11 > 0:23:20doesn't?The front page of the Daily Mirror...But who put it together?
0:23:20 > 0:23:26The great British cancer scandal, poor NHS funding leads the UK with
0:23:26 > 0:23:30the worst survival rates. And the picture at the top is Brendan Cole,
0:23:30 > 0:23:39who has been axed from Strictly, he was due to appear this week but they
0:23:39 > 0:23:44have been cancelled at the moment. Quite a few Strictly fans have been
0:23:44 > 0:23:49moaning about the fact. He won the first series, didn't he, and he has
0:23:49 > 0:23:54been there the whole time.With Natasha from this programme.And he
0:23:54 > 0:23:59is no longer on Strictly, so a few changes in the professional dancers.
0:23:59 > 0:24:04And on the front page of the Daily Mail, motorists should be punished
0:24:04 > 0:24:08for speeding even if they are one mph over the speed limit, according
0:24:08 > 0:24:14to Britain's Road policing chief. This is the Guardian, and they are
0:24:14 > 0:24:18talking about the BBC, which makes lots of the newspapers today. They
0:24:18 > 0:24:23had a review claiming there was no evidence of gender bias in pay
0:24:23 > 0:24:26decisions, sparking an angry backlash from women at the
0:24:26 > 0:24:31corporation.The Times, again the BBC pay review is on the front page.
0:24:31 > 0:24:34A picture of the Duchess of Cambridge in Stockholm, as Louise
0:24:34 > 0:24:40was showing you in one of the other papers, and greedy house developers.
0:24:40 > 0:24:52Line in that one. I was just reading that Sajid Javid, the minister
0:24:52 > 0:24:59looking after this, says if you are an
0:25:00 > 0:25:05an a nimby, the government is not your friend. So it might be a bit of
0:25:05 > 0:25:13a change of tack.And a bit of an update on Carillion. A picture on
0:25:13 > 0:25:17the Telegraph $ being taken down. The enquiries cracking on and they
0:25:17 > 0:25:20are looking at speaking to everybody involved with the collapse of
0:25:20 > 0:25:27Carillion at the moment.And Sonali, transfer deadline day. Five of the
0:25:27 > 0:25:33deal is yet to be done, we will go over some of them after 6:30 a.m.,
0:25:33 > 0:25:38but Mahrez put in the late transfer request with Leicester and
0:25:38 > 0:25:44Manchester interested. The Times are talking about a powerful farewell to
0:25:44 > 0:25:54a pioneer, Regis, which we covered on this programme. And this was the
0:25:54 > 0:25:58moment that Amir Khan through water over a rival.Did you see people
0:25:58 > 0:26:02moaning about Coronation Street because of product placement for the
0:26:02 > 0:26:08first time? I think they had a branded coffee cup and they have
0:26:08 > 0:26:13plans to have a shop, a coffee shop on the street.Is that where they
0:26:13 > 0:26:20will go out for a coffee?I know you don't drink coffee and everything,
0:26:20 > 0:26:25but...I have a claim to fame about Coronation Street. I don't drink
0:26:25 > 0:26:31coffee. I painted the doors on Coronation Street.I don't think
0:26:31 > 0:26:37that is your only claim to fame. When they revamped the sets, I was
0:26:37 > 0:26:42doing the thing for the awards, and I had to go around the set and paint
0:26:42 > 0:26:48the doors. And I scratched my uncle Terry's name on the garage. He
0:26:48 > 0:30:12watches Coronation Street every day. Things we didn't
0:30:12 > 0:30:14cool. And then as we head into the weekend, things a little unsettled,
0:30:14 > 0:30:17especially through Saturday morning. That rain clearing, though, Saturday
0:30:17 > 0:30:17afternoon.
0:30:17 > 0:30:19I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
0:30:19 > 0:30:21in half an hour.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23Now, though, it is back to Louise and Dan.
0:30:23 > 0:30:24Bye for now.
0:30:24 > 0:30:27Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30We'll bring you the latest news and sport in a moment.
0:30:30 > 0:30:31Here's what's coming up:
0:30:31 > 0:30:35We'll be looking at the fresh calls for flour to be fortified
0:30:35 > 0:30:37with folic acid following new research that suggests it
0:30:37 > 0:30:39will help protect babies from birth defects.
0:30:39 > 0:30:42The Poet Helen Dunmore has won the Costa Book of the Year Award
0:30:42 > 0:30:45for a collection written in the final weeks of her life.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48We'll speak to her daughter about the work, why she thinks
0:30:48 > 0:30:52it is a positive piece despite it dealing with her mum's cancer
0:30:52 > 0:30:58diagnosis and impending death.
0:30:58 > 0:31:01The historic disappearance of a girl from a small Welsh village
0:31:01 > 0:31:04is the subject of the BBC's new drama Requiem.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07We'll speak to the show's star, Lybia Wilson, to find out why
0:31:07 > 0:31:15the supernatural thriller could leave you feeling spooked!
0:31:16 > 0:31:22Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
0:31:22 > 0:31:25The Prime Minister has responded to days of attacks by declaring she's
0:31:25 > 0:31:30not a quitter. Theresa May is said to journalists there was a long-term
0:31:30 > 0:31:34job to be done and she is serving her country and party. She made the
0:31:34 > 0:31:38comments before touching down in China on a trade mission. She hopes
0:31:38 > 0:31:41to strengthen relationships with Beijing and said she wouldn't shy
0:31:41 > 0:31:46away from the difficult issues.
0:31:46 > 0:31:48President Trump has said he's taken forward his righteous mission
0:31:48 > 0:31:51to make America great again during his first year in office.
0:31:51 > 0:31:54In his first State of the Union address,
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Mr Trump said he'd introduced record tax cuts for everyone,
0:31:56 > 0:31:58the stock market was booming, jobs
0:31:58 > 0:32:01were being created and unemployment was at a record low.
0:32:01 > 0:32:04Labour will today try to force the Government to officially publish
0:32:04 > 0:32:06a leaked report which suggests that leaving the European Union
0:32:06 > 0:32:08will damage the British economy.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10Ministers say the research, which was leaked from David Davis'
0:32:10 > 0:32:13Brexit department is incomplete and are rejecting calls
0:32:13 > 0:32:14to disclose the findings.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16But Labour plans to trigger a Commons vote to ensure
0:32:16 > 0:32:23the information is revealed.
0:32:23 > 0:32:30We're forced in effect to use an ancient procedure to ask
0:32:30 > 0:32:34the government, force the government, to pass over these
0:32:34 > 0:32:37documents, in confidence if necessary, but we need to be able
0:32:37 > 0:32:40to do our job here.
0:32:40 > 0:32:43The Director-General of the BBC, Tony Hall, will appear before MPs
0:32:43 > 0:32:46today as the corporation faces further scrutiny over equal pay.
0:32:46 > 0:32:48The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee will also
0:32:48 > 0:32:51hear from the BBC's former China editor Carrie Gracie,
0:32:51 > 0:32:53who resigned from her role in protest at inequalities.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57It comes a day after an auditor's report found there was no gender
0:32:57 > 0:33:05bias at the corporation.
0:33:06 > 0:33:09A light aircraft that crashed in Australia on New Year's Eve
0:33:09 > 0:33:11killing five members of a British family had veered significantly
0:33:11 > 0:33:13off its intended course, according to investigators.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15In total six people were killed, including
0:33:15 > 0:33:16the Canadian pilot.
0:33:16 > 0:33:19The boss of the flight operator said the pilot's manoeuvres leading up
0:33:19 > 0:33:22to the crash as 'inexplicable' for someone with so much experience.
0:33:22 > 0:33:30There is still 'no preferred theory' as to why the plane went off course.
0:33:31 > 0:33:33Two officials from Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency have
0:33:33 > 0:33:35resigned after a ballistic missile
0:33:35 > 0:33:36alert was sent in error.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39It took the authorities 38 minutes to correct the message
0:33:39 > 0:33:41which caused widespread panic across the island
0:33:41 > 0:33:41earlier this month.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44A third man thought to be responsible for the message
0:33:44 > 0:33:45has been fired.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48An investigation found a combination of human error and inadequate
0:33:48 > 0:33:55safeguards were responsible.
0:33:55 > 0:33:58Now, you can keep your supermoons, and you can even keep your blue
0:33:58 > 0:34:01moons because tonight's lunar spectacle in some parts of the world
0:34:01 > 0:34:03will take some beating.
0:34:03 > 0:34:05The supermoons and eclipses you can see here are impressive
0:34:05 > 0:34:08enough, but a super blue blood moon hasn't happened for more
0:34:08 > 0:34:09than 100 years.
0:34:09 > 0:34:11It's when three lunar phenomenon all happen at once,
0:34:11 > 0:34:14meaning the moon should be bigger, brighter and also turn red
0:34:14 > 0:34:15for a while.
0:34:15 > 0:34:17Unfortunately it won't be visible from the UK,
0:34:17 > 0:34:21but people in parts of the US, Asia, Russia and Australia could be
0:34:21 > 0:34:22in for a treat,
0:34:22 > 0:34:30weather permitting.
0:34:39 > 0:34:44Nice to know it's happening somewhere. You were asking yesterday
0:34:44 > 0:34:49about how to take pictures of the moon, we sent out an undercover
0:34:49 > 0:34:54reporter, it's not, it is Graham Satchell to find out how you do
0:34:54 > 0:35:00that. It's impossible to take one on your phone. Maybe you just need a
0:35:00 > 0:35:04proper camera. They used to have things called cameras! Someone who
0:35:04 > 0:35:09knows what they're doing! Are you telling me off for phone usage?Not
0:35:09 > 0:35:15at all!Enjoy the moment without taking a photo.Nothing wrong with
0:35:15 > 0:35:20that. I'm baffled when people are at an event and they are watching it
0:35:20 > 0:35:23through their phone.All the time, although they have now started to
0:35:23 > 0:35:27ban the phones, a lot of the big arenas.
0:35:27 > 0:35:32Loss of celebrations at the Liberty Stadium yesterday, Swansea beating
0:35:32 > 0:35:35Arsenal 3-1. After beating Liverpool last week, these are the first
0:35:35 > 0:35:41back-to-back wins this season. Great news for them under their new
0:35:41 > 0:35:45manager, who is beginning to get a bit of a cult following with Swansea
0:35:45 > 0:35:48City fans.
0:35:48 > 0:35:51Arsene Wenger's side had been ahead but this error
0:35:51 > 0:35:52from goalkeeper Petr Cech gifted Swansea the lead.
0:35:52 > 0:35:56Sam Clucas also scored twice, ensuring his side beat another big
0:35:56 > 0:35:58name a week after their victory over Liverpool.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00Afterwards, their manager used an interesting comparison
0:36:00 > 0:36:04to describe how his team is feeling at the moment.
0:36:04 > 0:36:07In the first place, confidence was what was needed in that moment.
0:36:07 > 0:36:09And I said it was not a miracle.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12I said about the analogy that he was not himself
0:36:12 > 0:36:13- who cares?
0:36:13 > 0:36:14He was in hospital.
0:36:14 > 0:36:17Maybe now we are nearer to going out of hospital,
0:36:17 > 0:36:18but we still have problems.
0:36:18 > 0:36:22The doctor can look to us, but we are not far away to being out
0:36:22 > 0:36:28of the hospital.
0:36:28 > 0:36:31After two defeats, Liverpool also turned a corner last night,
0:36:31 > 0:36:34although this poor little lad missed the best bits as his team beat
0:36:34 > 0:36:35Huddersfield 3-0.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38Emre Can got them off the mark with this long-range effort
0:36:38 > 0:36:41and Huddersfield froze as Roberto Firmino bore down on them
0:36:41 > 0:36:43at the end of the first half.
0:36:43 > 0:36:46Mo Salah added a late penalty as manager Jurgen Klopp got
0:36:46 > 0:36:49the better of his best friend David Wagner for the second time
0:36:49 > 0:36:54this season.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57West Ham and Crystal Palace played out a 1-1 draw.
0:36:57 > 0:37:00Both goals came in the first half, Christian Benteke with the opening
0:37:00 > 0:37:03the scoring before West Ham equalised just before half time
0:37:03 > 0:37:04through a penalty.
0:37:04 > 0:37:11In Scotland, Celtic beat Hearts 3-1.
0:37:11 > 0:37:16Football clubs will be frantically trying to finalise last minute deals
0:37:16 > 0:37:23ahead of the transfer window closing at 11pm tonight.
0:37:24 > 0:37:31The spending has already surpassed the
0:37:31 > 0:37:36the record of £225 million, it is over £250 million, a new record for
0:37:36 > 0:37:38the January window.
0:37:38 > 0:37:39One transfer already sorted is defender
0:37:39 > 0:37:41Aymeric Larporte's move to Manchester City.
0:37:41 > 0:37:45The Premier League leaders have signed the Frenchman for a club
0:37:45 > 0:37:48record fee of £57 million, which makes him the second most
0:37:48 > 0:37:53expensive defender in history.
0:37:53 > 0:37:58Nice that he could come in as well! It's great, we've got all the
0:37:58 > 0:37:58contacts!
0:37:58 > 0:38:01The most talked about transfer this window,
0:38:01 > 0:38:04and one that is expected to go down to the wire,
0:38:04 > 0:38:06is Arsenal's move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
0:38:06 > 0:38:06from Borussia Dortmund.
0:38:06 > 0:38:08It really is a merry-go-round!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10The striker has a medical scheduled for this morning,
0:38:10 > 0:38:13but the deal is dependent on the German side finding
0:38:13 > 0:38:18a suitable replacement.
0:38:18 > 0:38:22Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud may have the biggest say
0:38:22 > 0:38:24in whether the deal is completed.
0:38:24 > 0:38:31Giroud was lined up as part of the deal to replace Aubameyang
0:38:31 > 0:38:33at Dortmund but would prefer to stay
0:38:33 > 0:38:37in London and could be making his way to Chelsea instead.
0:38:37 > 0:38:39That would free up Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi
0:38:39 > 0:38:41to move to Dortmund as a replacement for Aubameyang.
0:38:41 > 0:38:44But it all depends if Chelsea and Arsenal can agree
0:38:44 > 0:38:45a price for Giroud.
0:38:45 > 0:38:52Are you keeping up?It's like a game of cards, isn't it?I think it's
0:38:52 > 0:38:59like being in a chain when buying a house.Money comes in one way and
0:38:59 > 0:39:04then it frees up money elsewhere. All the cards need to be in order.
0:39:04 > 0:39:08Most of us usually wait for summer before we have a water fight,
0:39:08 > 0:39:11that didn't stop boxer Amir Khan as he threw water over
0:39:11 > 0:39:13opponent Phil Lo Greco on Tuesday,
0:39:13 > 0:39:14reacting to talk about his personal life.
0:39:14 > 0:39:18This was a press conference before pair meet in Liverpool on the 21st
0:39:18 > 0:39:25of April, Khan is fighting for the first time in nearly two years.
0:39:25 > 0:39:30This is part of boxing. Look at the size of the bouncer in the middle.
0:39:30 > 0:39:35Slightly different weight category to the fighters.Absolutely. The
0:39:35 > 0:39:44heavyweight bodyguard.
0:39:44 > 0:39:48President Trump has used his first State of the Union address to call
0:39:48 > 0:39:50on Republicans and Democrats to work together to rebuild American
0:39:50 > 0:39:53industries and infrastructure and to fix the country's immigration laws.
0:39:53 > 0:39:56He said he'd advanced his mission to make America great again
0:39:56 > 0:39:58with record tax cuts for everyone and record
0:39:58 > 0:40:06falls in unemployment.
0:40:13 > 0:40:18If you work hard, if you believe in yourself, if you believe in America,
0:40:18 > 0:40:25then you can dream anything, you can be anything, and together we can
0:40:25 > 0:40:30achieve absolutely anything.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37achieve absolutely anything.The era of economic surrender is totally
0:40:37 > 0:40:44over. I am asking Congress to ensure that in the fight against Isis and
0:40:44 > 0:40:48al-Qaeda, we continue to have all necessary power to detain terrorists
0:40:48 > 0:40:57and in many cases for them it will now be Guantanamo Bay. Under the
0:40:57 > 0:41:01current broken system, a single immigrant can bring in virtually
0:41:01 > 0:41:07unlimited numbers of distant relatives. It's time to reform...
0:41:07 > 0:41:08APPLAUSE
0:41:08 > 0:41:12relatives. It's time to reform... APPLAUSE.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Let's speak to the Political analyst, Eric Ham,
0:41:15 > 0:41:18who is in Washington for us this morning to get his assesment
0:41:18 > 0:41:20of the President's first state of the Union.
0:41:20 > 0:41:25It was about an hour and a half. So much of this is about how it is
0:41:25 > 0:41:28presented, what were your impressions?It was one of the
0:41:28 > 0:41:32longest State of the Union speeches that we have seen in history and the
0:41:32 > 0:41:37president did not disappoint today. He delivered a unifying message, he
0:41:37 > 0:41:42was on point, he was on message and he stayed disciplined. He simply
0:41:42 > 0:41:46read from the teleprompter, he did not go off script, and I think he
0:41:46 > 0:41:50attempted to give everybody something in this speech. You saw
0:41:50 > 0:41:55him reach out to his base, you saw him reach out to Republicans and you
0:41:55 > 0:41:59saw him reach out to Democrats. Now, the question remains going forward,
0:41:59 > 0:42:05will the president attempt to work closely with both chambers,
0:42:05 > 0:42:10Republicans and Democrats, to strike a deal specifically on immigration
0:42:10 > 0:42:15and even though I think there is a lot of euphoria that the president
0:42:15 > 0:42:18is feeling tonight, we still have to keep in mind that the government
0:42:18 > 0:42:23will run out of funding on February eight, and that's only a week from
0:42:23 > 0:42:27now. So the president is on a natural high tonight but I think
0:42:27 > 0:42:34he's going to come down to earth really quickly.It was notable for
0:42:34 > 0:42:38the considered three tone, wasn't it?It was, particularly when you
0:42:38 > 0:42:42consider how bellicose and truculent this president is, particularly when
0:42:42 > 0:42:48going after his enemies, and tonight you saw a president willing to work
0:42:48 > 0:42:53across the aisle, looking to reach out and. Unfortunately I don't think
0:42:53 > 0:42:57you saw when you looked at the audience, many of the Democrats in
0:42:57 > 0:43:00that chamber, seeking to work closely with this president. One
0:43:00 > 0:43:03thing I thought was really interesting, given that was so much
0:43:03 > 0:43:09he offered to different groups, minority groups, various groups that
0:43:09 > 0:43:13may have felt aggrieved, there was nothing in the speech that really
0:43:13 > 0:43:17addressed women's rights or women's issues, and when you look at all of
0:43:17 > 0:43:24the issues surrounding sexual harassment and the voice women in
0:43:24 > 0:43:28America are having now, the fact he did not speak to that I thought was
0:43:28 > 0:43:32really striking.Interesting point you make. Let's talk about foreign
0:43:32 > 0:43:40policy, he talked about North Korea, talking about it as being depraved?
0:43:40 > 0:43:45I was surprised. Going into the speech I was in statutory hall where
0:43:45 > 0:43:50the speech took place and many of the journalists that were there
0:43:50 > 0:43:54actually thought he would address the issue and they were waiting with
0:43:54 > 0:44:01bated breath to see what he would say about North Korea, thought he
0:44:01 > 0:44:06would stay away from North Korea because I thought he would try to
0:44:06 > 0:44:10keep it positive but he did go there, he had a member of the
0:44:10 > 0:44:15audience that the reference, and I thought he went after North Korea
0:44:15 > 0:44:19strongly in this speech and I think that will be a prelude to I think a
0:44:19 > 0:44:25call for increased funding for the military.Briefly, how long will
0:44:25 > 0:44:32this conciliatory tone last? Probably through the night.Right,
0:44:32 > 0:44:40OK! Eric Ham, said briefly, thank you very much!
0:44:41 > 0:44:48And you say through the night, it is 1:44am right now. So thank you Eric,
0:44:48 > 0:44:50for staying up late for us.
0:44:50 > 0:44:53Carol has ventured out into the cold for us this morning.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54Carol has ventured out into the cold for us this morning.
0:44:54 > 0:44:58Good morning all. Have you been watching the moon in the last few
0:44:58 > 0:45:05days?I have, I have seen moon shadows.It is called the
0:45:05 > 0:45:10super-blue-blood-moon, blue because we are having two full moons in one
0:45:10 > 0:45:14month, and it is 14% brighter and bigger because at the moment it is
0:45:14 > 0:45:19closer to earth. The best places to see it tonight are across north-east
0:45:19 > 0:45:23Scotland, eastern Scotland generally, north-east England and
0:45:23 > 0:45:26parts of the south-east as well. And it really does look quite
0:45:26 > 0:45:31spectacular. This morning, it is not a cold start today in southern parts
0:45:31 > 0:45:34of the country, because we have two fronts heading south, bringing a lot
0:45:34 > 0:45:38of cloud and rain with them, but behind it colder air is filtering
0:45:38 > 0:45:42end. The forecast for today is a cold one, colder winds, and we're
0:45:42 > 0:45:46looking at wintry showers. We already had some wintry showers
0:45:46 > 0:45:50falling steadily through the course of the night across parts of
0:45:50 > 0:45:54Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England. But they are
0:45:54 > 0:45:57showers so not all of us are seeing them. Any accumulations will be
0:45:57 > 0:46:02mostly on the hills. A cold start in Aberdeen, only two Celsius. Coming
0:46:02 > 0:46:06south, you can see across the Pennines where we have some of those
0:46:06 > 0:46:10wintry showers. Coming south again, currently some heavy rain across the
0:46:10 > 0:46:13Midlands, north Wales, some lightning and that as well. All of
0:46:13 > 0:46:16that will be sinking southwards through the course of the morning,
0:46:16 > 0:46:20turning a bit lighter and more patchy in nature, and eventually it
0:46:20 > 0:46:23will clear from the south-east, from the Midlands, the south-west and the
0:46:23 > 0:46:28South Coast. We have at the moment, same across Wales. Rain you have
0:46:28 > 0:46:32will continue to push southwards, clearing away from you, weaving some
0:46:32 > 0:46:35showers behind. Northern Ireland, you have wintry showers from the
0:46:35 > 0:46:40word go. Again some wintry snow, especially over the hills, which is
0:46:40 > 0:46:44where we will see it accumulate at lower levels. It will be fairly
0:46:44 > 0:46:47transient, but it will be on and off. They shout showers, you will
0:46:47 > 0:46:51not see them all the time. There will be more showers across
0:46:51 > 0:46:55Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. Further south,
0:46:55 > 0:46:58behind the front, cooler air filters down and we are looking at Sunny
0:46:58 > 0:47:02spells and also some showers. The showers mostly of rain, possibly
0:47:02 > 0:47:06some light snow, and sleet and hail in the heavier ones. Maximum
0:47:06 > 0:47:10temperatures really represent what is happening now, as the cold air
0:47:10 > 0:47:13filters in behind the rain. The temperature will go down in the
0:47:13 > 0:47:17south as well. We are looking generally three or four. Tonight
0:47:17 > 0:47:20will be very windy with gales or severe gales across parts of the
0:47:20 > 0:47:23North and north-east of Scotland. The wintry showers continue. Like
0:47:23 > 0:47:28this morning there is a risk of ice, especially where it has been wet,
0:47:28 > 0:47:31and that is where we start the day tomorrow. Tomorrow's forecast shows
0:47:31 > 0:47:35further showers across the north of the country. Again, still quite
0:47:35 > 0:47:39wintry in nature but as we come south will still be a few showers
0:47:39 > 0:47:43around. But look at the amount of dry weather we are looking at as
0:47:43 > 0:47:47well. Again a fair bit of sunshine, and temperatures just up a notch on
0:47:47 > 0:47:51the day. As we head into Friday, a ridge of high pressure builds across
0:47:51 > 0:47:55us. Things are settling down. A lot of dry weather, a fair bit of
0:47:55 > 0:47:59sunshine. Any showers are likely to be in the east. Here is where we
0:47:59 > 0:48:07will have the strongest wind as well. As we head on the
0:48:17 > 0:48:20will have the strongest wind as well. As we head on the weekend,
0:48:20 > 0:48:24just a weather front comes in from the west and bumps into the cold
0:48:24 > 0:48:29air, some of us could see some snow. I will keep you posted on that as we
0:48:29 > 0:48:32go through the next couple of days. Thank you very much. And Sean is
0:48:32 > 0:48:35talking about car production.And the figures came out this morning.
0:48:35 > 0:48:40It is one of our best manufacturing is in the UK. Is this just a blip?
0:48:40 > 0:48:42We have had some great years the car manufacturing.
0:48:42 > 0:48:43Morning all.
0:48:43 > 0:48:45Lots of figures out today from the Society
0:48:45 > 0:48:47of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, giving a reflection
0:48:47 > 0:48:48of the car industry.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51A few quick facts for you: Nearly 1.7 million cars rolled off
0:48:51 > 0:48:54the production line in 2017, historically still one
0:48:54 > 0:48:57of our best years.
0:48:57 > 0:49:00But that is down 3% on the year before -
0:49:00 > 0:49:01the first drop for eight years.
0:49:01 > 0:49:05Now, around 80% of cars made in the UK are for export.
0:49:05 > 0:49:07But the domestic market was particularly hard-hit,
0:49:07 > 0:49:10with the number of cars made for sale at home down nearly
0:49:10 > 0:49:1810% last year.
0:49:24 > 0:49:29Let's talk to Rachel Burgess, the news editor of Autocar.
0:49:29 > 0:49:35Good morning, Rachel. Is it a blip or is it something we need to get
0:49:35 > 0:49:40properly worried about?It is still the second biggest year since 2004
0:49:40 > 0:49:45car production in the UK, so really on the scale of 17 years it is not
0:49:45 > 0:49:49worrying. But in the bigger sort of picture of the economy, obviously
0:49:49 > 0:49:54related to Brexit, we need to think about what we are going to do now so
0:49:54 > 0:49:58we don't see this continue to drop over the next few years, and then it
0:49:58 > 0:50:03would become sort of catastrophic. Yes, because one thing we have seen
0:50:03 > 0:50:06dropped over the last few years as investment in the industry. Just
0:50:06 > 0:50:10over £1 billion when in from investors and manufacturers last
0:50:10 > 0:50:14year, but that was down one third of the year before, and the years
0:50:14 > 0:50:17before that it has been dropping as well. Aliir Exley seeing those
0:50:17 > 0:50:22issues come through, whether Brexit happened or not?Is a bigger picture
0:50:22 > 0:50:26which depends on profit cycles, when cars are due to be replaced by
0:50:26 > 0:50:30manufacturers. So Neston have replaced one of their cars built at
0:50:30 > 0:50:33Sunderland, so there are other things at play, but absolutely I
0:50:33 > 0:50:38think the industry as a whole very cautious at the moment -- Nissan.
0:50:38 > 0:50:41They don't know what is going to happen with Brexit, and it will
0:50:41 > 0:50:45massively affect their businesses. And when you talk about these
0:50:45 > 0:50:48production cycles, and what kinds of cars these manufactures are making,
0:50:48 > 0:50:56diesel has been a big one. A lot of manufacturers are saying that these
0:50:56 > 0:50:59changes have hit their sales. Is that fair, or the carmakers need to
0:50:59 > 0:51:04hold their hands up and say we were not as honest as we should have been
0:51:04 > 0:51:08and we can take some of the blame.I think it is a joint effort, but I
0:51:08 > 0:51:12think the main issue is that the government and the car industry have
0:51:12 > 0:51:16perhaps not educated the public on diesels as well as they can. If you
0:51:16 > 0:51:20look at the new taxation on diesels announced in the budget by the
0:51:20 > 0:51:24government, it showed a sort of lack of awareness of actually that modern
0:51:24 > 0:51:29diesels can sometimes be as clean as petrol diesels. So it doesn't
0:51:29 > 0:51:32necessarily show the whole picture. And the public are reacting to that,
0:51:32 > 0:51:36and there has probably been a little bit too much of the demonisation of
0:51:36 > 0:51:40diesel, when we need to think about the bigger picture and getting older
0:51:40 > 0:51:43cars off the road, which is really the priority.And finally, if you
0:51:43 > 0:51:47look at these pictures from the industry, if you work in the
0:51:47 > 0:51:51industry, what should you feel your prospects will be like for the next
0:51:51 > 0:51:55few years?For now, there is absolutely no reason to panic, but
0:51:55 > 0:51:59it is obviously the beginning of a new era because of the exit and it
0:51:59 > 0:52:02is up to government and industry to make sure that this doesn't
0:52:02 > 0:52:06continue.Thank you very much. That said, keep an eye on those car
0:52:06 > 0:52:11figures for the next few months and see how 2018 does. In one hour I
0:52:11 > 0:52:14will be talking about cashpoints, cash machines. Fewer on the streets
0:52:14 > 0:52:18may be?
0:52:18 > 0:52:21Over the last few months, stargazers have been lucky enough
0:52:21 > 0:52:23to see supermoons, and even a blue moon.
0:52:23 > 0:52:26But this evening, the night sky will offer something even more
0:52:26 > 0:52:27spectacular - a super-blue-blood-moon.
0:52:27 > 0:52:30It is a combination of three lunar phenomena, all happening at once,
0:52:30 > 0:52:33and hasn't been seen for more than 150 years.
0:52:33 > 0:52:36Thousands of people across the world will be waiting to catch a glimpse
0:52:36 > 0:52:40of it, many of whom will be trying to capture it on camera.
0:52:40 > 0:52:42But just how hard is that to achieve?
0:52:42 > 0:52:44We sent Breakfast's Graham Satchell out with a moon photographer
0:52:44 > 0:52:52to find out.
0:52:56 > 0:53:02We are somewhere near the east coast of England. Meet at 0430 hours, I
0:53:02 > 0:53:11was told.Blue moon, you saw me standing alone...Hello, Danny.
0:53:11 > 0:53:15Danny Lawson is a photographer for the press Association. His pictures
0:53:15 > 0:53:20end up in papers across the country. So these are the ones we will be
0:53:20 > 0:53:26using, this is yours.Moon watchers are excited because it is not just a
0:53:26 > 0:53:35full moon, it is a super - blood- blue- moon, Rea. How do you get a
0:53:35 > 0:53:40perfect shot at it?The Times with the supermen, if I can photograph it
0:53:40 > 0:53:44next to a point of interest on the horizon, to give you scale, that is
0:53:44 > 0:53:48what you are looking for. You are after showing the moon in situ, in
0:53:48 > 0:53:52scale.Danny has taken some of the most stunning, breathtaking
0:53:52 > 0:53:59photographs. And this is what he means about giving the moon scale, a
0:53:59 > 0:54:07focal point in the foreground, as the moon sets on the horizon. For
0:54:07 > 0:54:11tonight's shot, Danny has chosen the Humber oil refinery. But will the
0:54:11 > 0:54:19weather behind to us? -- be kind to us? The moon is in a battle with the
0:54:19 > 0:54:24clouds. What are you seeing, Danny? I am seeing a lot of black.There is
0:54:24 > 0:54:28still half an hour or so before the moon sets, so we settled down to
0:54:28 > 0:54:37wait. # I see a bad moon rising... You know, Danny, a lot of people
0:54:37 > 0:54:42associate the moon with madness. So the Latin word for the moon is
0:54:42 > 0:54:46lunar, where we get lunatic, or lunacy. Some pretty crazy things can
0:54:46 > 0:54:57happen under the moonlight. Know what they mean?No, not really.
0:54:57 > 0:54:59what they mean?No, not really.# Dancing in the moonlight... .The
0:54:59 > 0:55:03main thing about the moon is the mystery, the wonder, the ore. You
0:55:03 > 0:55:06know how our nearest celestial cousin reminds us of the vastness of
0:55:06 > 0:55:11the universe, and how insignificant we are in it all. What I mean?No,
0:55:11 > 0:55:17not really so did the clouds break? Were we lucky? At a critical moment,
0:55:17 > 0:55:25the moon was obscured. Danny was left with a beautiful shot of the
0:55:25 > 0:55:30refinery. This is what it might have looked like if they want any clouds.
0:55:30 > 0:55:36But there were, so it didn't. We say goodbye as the sun rises. Was the
0:55:36 > 0:55:38night pointless, futile, insignificant? I think a lot was
0:55:38 > 0:55:42learnt.
0:55:42 > 0:55:48Graham Satchell at his absolute best.A Greek debt of telly about
0:55:48 > 0:55:56the moon, with no moon in it. -- great bit of telly.I hope we have
0:55:56 > 0:56:00given you some tips. Moon watching, even when you can't see it, it is
0:56:00 > 0:56:07clearly fun.It has that effect on all of us, it may Graham go a bit
0:56:07 > 0:56:15mad.And Carol will tell us what it is looking like for all of us, so we
0:56:15 > 0:59:34will see
0:59:34 > 0:59:35unsettled, especially through Saturday morning.

1:00:54 > 1:00:56The BBC pay row heads to parliament.
1:00:56 > 1:00:59The former China editor Carrie Gracie and the Director General,

1:01:39 > 1:01:42I think we need more detail on that!
1:01:42 > 1:01:43And Carol has the weather.
1:01:43 > 1:01:47Hello from outside the BBC in London.
1:01:47 > 1:01:51Not a cold start to the day here but turning colder later as weather
1:01:51 > 1:01:55fronts ringing rain cross away from the south-east leaving sunshine and
1:01:55 > 1:01:59showers behind. Different story in the north, Northern Ireland,
1:01:59 > 1:02:03Scotland and northern England seeing some snow showers even at lower
1:02:03 > 1:02:07levels for a time, but there are showers in between followed by
1:02:07 > 1:02:12sunshine. Lots more details in 15 minutes.On cue, Carol, see you at
1:02:12 > 1:02:207:15am! -- thank you, Carol, see you at 7:15am.
1:02:20 > 1:02:21Good morning.
1:02:21 > 1:02:22First, our main story.
1:02:22 > 1:02:25The Prime Minister has responded to a series of attacks
1:02:25 > 1:02:27on her leadership by declaring she's not a quitter.
1:02:27 > 1:02:30Theresa May told journalists there was a long term job to be
1:02:30 > 1:02:33done and that she was serving her country and party.
1:02:33 > 1:02:36She made the comments before touching down in China
1:02:36 > 1:02:37on a trade mission.
1:02:37 > 1:02:39Mrs May is hoping to strengthen relations with Beijing,
1:02:39 > 1:02:42but said she wouldn't shy away from the difficult issues.
1:02:42 > 1:02:44Let's speak to our China correspondent Robin Brant.
1:02:44 > 1:02:48Good morning to you. An important day for the Prime Minister, she have
1:02:48 > 1:02:51to start by saying she's not a quitter?Yes. That's the leadership
1:02:51 > 1:02:54story which is inevitably following her here, let's do the trade part.
1:02:54 > 1:02:57She has brought 50 business executives from British companies,
1:02:57 > 1:03:00they are looking to the relationship between China and the UK in a
1:03:00 > 1:03:04post-Brexit world. The reality is China is soon to become the world's
1:03:04 > 1:03:08biggest economy but it's only the UK's eighth biggest export market,
1:03:08 > 1:03:12£17 billion worth of stuff was sold here two years ago, that has to
1:03:12 > 1:03:21improve if the UK economy is to grow overall. She's focusing
1:03:21 > 1:03:23overall. She's focusing on what we're good at here, automotive,
1:03:23 > 1:03:27education, big soft power issue as well, she was at a university in
1:03:27 > 1:03:30Wuhan, a city of 10 million, this morning, giving a speech but the
1:03:30 > 1:03:33leadership story inevitably has followed her and speaking to
1:03:33 > 1:03:36journalists on the plane on the way here she addressed it very directly.
1:03:36 > 1:03:45This is what she had to say in terms of her future:
1:03:48 > 1:03:52Responding to some criticism, some sniping from former minister Robert
1:03:52 > 1:03:56Halfon, he's a Tory MP, whose edgy was governing like a tortoise when
1:03:56 > 1:04:01what was needed was a lion, she said I've never tried to compare myself
1:04:01 > 1:04:04to any animal, bird or car or whatever comparisons people
1:04:04 > 1:04:08sometimes use, there's a focus to this government and the focus for
1:04:08 > 1:04:14the 48 hours is China and the trade relationship. She is lukewarm in
1:04:14 > 1:04:18comparison to her predecessor, David Cameron, she is not as keen as he
1:04:18 > 1:04:22is, she has reservations about steel capacity and how much the Chinese
1:04:22 > 1:04:26are going to spend abroad but she said she would address human rights
1:04:26 > 1:04:30and Hong Kong but she would do that in private with the Chinese leaders.
1:04:30 > 1:04:32Robin, thank you very much indeed.
1:04:32 > 1:04:35Labour will today try to force the Government to officially publish
1:04:35 > 1:04:37a leaked report which suggests that leaving the European Union
1:04:37 > 1:04:39will damage the British economy.
1:04:39 > 1:04:42Ministers say the research, which was leaked from David Davis'
1:04:42 > 1:04:44Brexit department is incomplete and are rejecting calls
1:04:44 > 1:04:45to disclose the findings.
1:04:45 > 1:04:48But Labour plans to trigger a Commons vote to ensure
1:04:48 > 1:04:53the information is revealed.
1:04:53 > 1:04:58We're forced in effect to use an ancient procedure to ask
1:04:58 > 1:05:01the government, force the government, to pass over these
1:05:01 > 1:05:04documents, in confidence if necessary, but we need to be able
1:05:04 > 1:05:12to do our job here.
1:05:13 > 1:05:15President Trump has said he's taken forward his righteous mission
1:05:15 > 1:05:18to make America great again during his first year in office.
1:05:18 > 1:05:21In his first State of the Union address,
1:05:21 > 1:05:23Mr Trump said he'd introduced record tax cuts for everyone,
1:05:23 > 1:05:25the stock market was booming, jobs
1:05:25 > 1:05:26were being created and unemployment
1:05:26 > 1:05:28was at a record low.
1:05:28 > 1:05:29as David Willis reports.
1:05:29 > 1:05:34Mr President, how is the State of the Union?The man who spoke just a
1:05:34 > 1:05:41year ago of American carnage was more upbeat tonight.
1:05:43 > 1:05:45more upbeat tonight.Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the
1:05:45 > 1:05:48United States.Handshakes all around and after a self congratulate pat on
1:05:48 > 1:05:53the back for a booming economy, the president called on all Americans to
1:05:53 > 1:06:01seek out common ground.This in fact is our new American moment. There's
1:06:01 > 1:06:05never been a better time to start living the American dream.Calling
1:06:05 > 1:06:09on the parents of two teenage girls who were murdered by gang members in
1:06:09 > 1:06:13the country illegally, the president turned to the thorny issue of
1:06:13 > 1:06:17immigration reform. He's offering a path to citizenship for illegal
1:06:17 > 1:06:21immigrants who came here as children in return for tougher border
1:06:21 > 1:06:29controls.So let's come together, set politics aside, and finally get
1:06:29 > 1:06:36the job done.The United States was winning the war against Islamic
1:06:36 > 1:06:41State, the president said, but all too often terrorists had been
1:06:41 > 1:06:44captured and then released. Reversing the policy of his
1:06:44 > 1:06:48predecessor, he pledged to keep the military prison at grandson obey
1:06:48 > 1:06:56open. This first year of office has been a tale of two Trumps, both
1:06:56 > 1:07:01Talybont Trump and Twitter troll, and going into his second year, the
1:07:01 > 1:07:05president and his party need more of the former and less of the latter,
1:07:05 > 1:07:09not only to push through his controversial legislative agenda but
1:07:09 > 1:07:14also to maintain their majority in Congress. David Willis, BBC News,
1:07:14 > 1:07:14Washington.
1:07:14 > 1:07:17The Director-General of the BBC, Tony Hall, will appear before MPs
1:07:17 > 1:07:19today as the corporation faces further scrutiny over
1:07:19 > 1:07:20gender pay inequality.
1:07:20 > 1:07:23The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee will also
1:07:23 > 1:07:25hear from the BBC's former China editor Carrie Gracie,
1:07:25 > 1:07:28who resigned from her role in protest at inequalities.
1:07:28 > 1:07:36Here's our media and arts correspondent, David Sillito.
1:07:42 > 1:07:44Carrie Gracie used to be the BBC's China editor.
1:07:44 > 1:07:45She stepped down earlier this
1:07:45 > 1:07:48month in a protest over pay.
1:07:48 > 1:07:54A comparable male colleague, was, she said, being paid more than 50%
1:07:54 > 1:07:58more than her, and today she's going to face MPs to discuss the way
1:07:58 > 1:08:00the BBC treats women.
1:08:00 > 1:08:02So too is the corporation's Director-General, Tony
1:08:02 > 1:08:04Hall, just a day after a report
1:08:04 > 1:08:06in which he said changes had to be made.
1:08:06 > 1:08:08I think this is a culture change.
1:08:08 > 1:08:13It takes time.
1:08:13 > 1:08:15What I've learned over the last three, four,
1:08:15 > 1:08:18five, six months is we've got to go faster at this,
1:08:18 > 1:08:21much, much faster, and that's what I'm committing to today.
1:08:21 > 1:08:24I want us to go faster, I want us to be exemplar
1:08:24 > 1:08:27for equality because I profoundly believe it's right.
1:08:27 > 1:08:29Within the BBC, the group representing women fighting for pay
1:08:29 > 1:08:31equality have more than a few doubts.
1:08:31 > 1:08:34This meeting with MPs is a chance to present evidence not
1:08:34 > 1:08:38considered by the report.
1:08:38 > 1:08:42The stories of women paid half or even a third of what some
1:08:42 > 1:08:44of their male colleagues were receiving.
1:08:44 > 1:08:45The BBC says it's going to change.
1:08:45 > 1:08:48This enquiry wants to know if it will
1:08:48 > 1:08:49really make a difference.
1:08:49 > 1:08:57David Sillito, BBC News.
1:08:57 > 1:09:01There are calls for the government to fortify flour with folic acid
1:09:01 > 1:09:04to help protect babies in the UK from common birth defects.
1:09:04 > 1:09:08We will talk about that at around ten past eight on Breakfast. A new
1:09:08 > 1:09:17study found higher doses of the --...
1:09:17 > 1:09:21A new study found higher doses of the vitamin in fresh fruit
1:09:21 > 1:09:24and vegetables, does not cause harm as had been previously thought.
1:09:24 > 1:09:27The Department of Health in England says it's considering the findings
1:09:27 > 1:09:29while Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland already
1:09:29 > 1:09:29support the idea.
1:09:29 > 1:09:33The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Sweden today as their
1:09:33 > 1:09:35four-day tour of Scandinavia continues. Yesterday they met the
1:09:35 > 1:09:39Swedish Prime Minister and took to the ice with children in Stockholm
1:09:39 > 1:09:41and our royal correspondent Nicholas Witchell was there.
1:09:41 > 1:09:43Britain needs to bolster its European friendships just now and
1:09:43 > 1:09:46once again the Foreign Office is deploying the Royal family, this
1:09:46 > 1:09:49time to Scandinavia, Sweden and Norway, countries with monarchies of
1:09:49 > 1:09:54their own, which always helps. In Stockholm, William and Kate rinse
1:09:54 > 1:09:59down to supper with some of Sweden's opinion formers. Nothing too
1:09:59 > 1:10:03political, of course, but certainly diplomatic. In the centre of
1:10:03 > 1:10:07Stockholm, they watched a game of bandy hockey, a variant of ice
1:10:07 > 1:10:11hockey played with a ball, very popular among young people in
1:10:11 > 1:10:17Sweden. Never mind that the Duchess is six months pregnant, the visitors
1:10:17 > 1:10:21were expected to join in. So, a penalty shootout, husband versus
1:10:21 > 1:10:30wife. The result, 2-1 to William. All fairly typical stuff for a royal
1:10:30 > 1:10:34visit. The guests of honour showing they are good sports and solicitors
1:10:34 > 1:10:38too when it came to meeting the crowds who had been waiting in
1:10:38 > 1:10:41temperatures only just above freezing. But it's the underlying
1:10:41 > 1:10:45messages that matter. It's impossible to gauge the impact of
1:10:45 > 1:10:48royal visits like this on a relationship, in this case between
1:10:48 > 1:10:52Britain and Sweden, but what they do is force the country is to highlight
1:10:52 > 1:10:57the positive aspects of the relationship and that, diplomats
1:10:57 > 1:11:07say, is always helpful. Britain needs its friends in Europe,
1:11:07 > 1:11:10the Royals are doing their bit. Nicholas Witchell, BBC News,
1:11:10 > 1:11:14Stockholm.
1:11:14 > 1:11:17Looks like they're having a bit of fun there!
1:11:17 > 1:11:18Let's introduce you to Wikie the whale.
1:11:18 > 1:11:22She's in many of the papers this morning for being the first whale
1:11:22 > 1:11:24in the world to speak English.
1:11:24 > 1:11:26Researchers were keen to learn more about the way killer
1:11:26 > 1:11:29whales communicate and whether, like humans, they could learn
1:11:29 > 1:11:37new dialect by imitating sounds.
1:11:48 > 1:11:49So, they taught Wikie some new words.
1:11:49 > 1:11:51Let's take a listen.
1:11:51 > 1:11:58One, two, three. One, two, three.
1:12:04 > 1:12:11Every time you hear it you can't help but laugh!
1:12:11 > 1:12:14Wikie also learnt some other words during the experiment,
1:12:14 > 1:12:15including hello and the name Amy.
1:12:15 > 1:12:26I was hoping we would say hello.
1:12:26 > 1:12:31They are trying to learn about how killer whales communicate between
1:12:31 > 1:12:37each other. There is important reasons behind that research, how
1:12:37 > 1:12:41they communicate.They might be able to help them as a result.
1:12:41 > 1:12:44As we've been hearing, Theresa May has arrived in China
1:12:44 > 1:12:47on a trade mission and has declared she's not a quitter
1:12:47 > 1:12:51following attacks over her leadership.
1:12:51 > 1:12:53We're joined by Nick Gibb, Minister of State for
1:12:53 > 1:12:56School Standards, who is in our Westminster studio.
1:12:56 > 1:12:59Thank you very much for your time this morning. We've heard the Prime
1:12:59 > 1:13:04Minister arriving in China having to speak to the press and say she's not
1:13:04 > 1:13:07quitting, but there are question marks about her leadership of the
1:13:07 > 1:13:12party. Does she have what it takes? She does, she's a very steadfast,
1:13:12 > 1:13:18strong leader. She's negotiating the exit of the United Kingdom from the
1:13:18 > 1:13:25union. We have negotiated the first successful bill and we've completed
1:13:25 > 1:13:28the first stage of Brexit negotiations. She's the best leader
1:13:28 > 1:13:33to unite our party and Tate Britain out of the European Union in these
1:13:33 > 1:13:36very difficult times. At the same time we've got a busy domestic
1:13:36 > 1:13:42agenda. -- take Britain. We've got the lowest level of employment in 45
1:13:42 > 1:13:47years, which is astonishing. Now she's engaged in going to China,
1:13:47 > 1:13:53ensuring we have trade deals, today she is announcing £550 million of
1:13:53 > 1:13:58education deals, including extending the very successful maths teacher
1:13:58 > 1:14:01exchange programme, and also announcing the busy bees Nursery
1:14:01 > 1:14:07school, 20 branches of that private nursery being opened in China. Very
1:14:07 > 1:14:12successful announcements today.I will come back to that school
1:14:12 > 1:14:15announcement later if I can. You have defended her but some of your
1:14:15 > 1:14:19fellow MPs are saying things like this, let me read you some of these
1:14:19 > 1:14:25comments, Heidi Alan Tweeted we need to get a grip and lead. Robert
1:14:25 > 1:14:29Holford said he is urging less policy-making by a Portas, we want a
1:14:29 > 1:14:33lion. Former schools Minister Nick Bowles said she was timid. --
1:14:33 > 1:14:39tortoise. Johnny Mercer said the window is closing on Mrs May's
1:14:39 > 1:14:44abilities to sustain her leadership. This is all coming from within her
1:14:44 > 1:14:48own party, surely her position as Prime Minister is under serious
1:14:48 > 1:14:52threat?You always get in a Broadchurch, in a Parliamentary
1:14:52 > 1:14:57party of over 300 MPs, a variety of opinions. These are very challenging
1:14:57 > 1:15:00times.Sometimes they keep those opinions to themselves, especially
1:15:00 > 1:15:04when the Prime Minister is in such a perilous position?It would be nice
1:15:04 > 1:15:09if they did, we live in a democracy and we have free speech and people
1:15:09 > 1:15:12are entitled to rest their opinions but my view as someone who works
1:15:12 > 1:15:18closely with her, she is determined to negotiate a strong exit of
1:15:18 > 1:15:22Britain from the EU with a good trade deal, we have taken the bill
1:15:22 > 1:15:26through the House of Commons that incorporates existing EU law into UK
1:15:26 > 1:15:30law. She is now engaged in going around the world, talking to other
1:15:30 > 1:15:34countries and ensuring we have good trade relations with those countries
1:15:34 > 1:15:38because we are an outward facing global trading nation, going to
1:15:38 > 1:15:43China is important, they are a market of 1.2 billion people and we
1:15:43 > 1:15:48want to make sure we are able to trade with those nations after we
1:15:48 > 1:15:52leave the European Union. The Prime Minister, with her stead fast,
1:15:52 > 1:15:58successful approach to government, attention to detail, taking these
1:15:58 > 1:16:01negotiations step-by-step is the right person to lead our country as
1:16:01 > 1:16:06we exit the European Union.
1:16:06 > 1:16:10We are of course also talking about Brexit today, Labour calling on the
1:16:10 > 1:16:14government to release that Brexit analysis which came through bus
1:16:14 > 1:16:20speed news. You voted Ronayne, which people will remember. Is this
1:16:20 > 1:16:27analysis of a drop of 2%, 5%, 8%, is that what concern you to vote remain
1:16:27 > 1:16:32in the first place?Yes, those were my concerns, but as we have seen
1:16:32 > 1:16:36since the referendum, the British economy has continued to grow beyond
1:16:36 > 1:16:39expectations. Last week we had revised growth figures showing we
1:16:39 > 1:16:43had a very strongly growing economy and I am confident that as we leave
1:16:43 > 1:16:47the European Union, we will be doing trade deals as we leave the European
1:16:47 > 1:16:52Union around the world, and Britain will prosper, are confident, outward
1:16:52 > 1:16:55facing global nation. That draft report was prepared by civil
1:16:55 > 1:17:00servants. As a basis for further work, it doesn't include the bespoke
1:17:00 > 1:17:04trade deal which is the basis of our negotiating position with the
1:17:04 > 1:17:08European Union.On that issue, would you go as far as the Brexit
1:17:08 > 1:17:12Minister, Steve Baker, who came up with something astonishing in the
1:17:12 > 1:17:15comments. He said civil servants have never produce the correct
1:17:15 > 1:17:21economic forecast.Well, there were forecast is, if you recall, for the
1:17:21 > 1:17:24referendum, are addicting very dire outcomes. The British people voted
1:17:24 > 1:17:28to leave the European Union and we have seen strong vote since. We have
1:17:28 > 1:17:33now the lowest level of unemployment since 1975. A very strong economy,
1:17:33 > 1:17:38and so some of those dire predictions have not come true.On
1:17:38 > 1:17:43that leaked report, as well, can you understand why people watching this
1:17:43 > 1:17:46both yesterday and this morning might wonder why they have to rely
1:17:46 > 1:17:49on a leaked document like that to understand the government thinking
1:17:49 > 1:17:55on an issue as important as Brexit? Well, the government position has
1:17:55 > 1:17:58been very clear. The Prime Minister has said about in a number of
1:17:58 > 1:18:02speeches in Florence, Lancaster house, setting out what our
1:18:02 > 1:18:06negotiating position is. What we don't want to do is to provide all
1:18:06 > 1:18:09the information the government has to the other side in these
1:18:09 > 1:18:12negotiations. These are very delicate, so that is why we don't to
1:18:12 > 1:18:16release this kind of information while we are in the middle of these
1:18:16 > 1:18:20negotiations. That is the last thing you want to do, reveal your hand to
1:18:20 > 1:18:23the other side in these negotiations. I am very optimistic
1:18:23 > 1:18:30and confident that, at the end of this process, we will have a very,
1:18:30 > 1:18:33very favourable trade deal with the European Union as we exit the
1:18:33 > 1:18:36European Union. And the government, the Prime Minister in particular, is
1:18:36 > 1:18:40determined that we will have a very successful exit and a very
1:18:40 > 1:18:44successful deal.You mentioned the new links with China, which is
1:18:44 > 1:18:47something the prime Minister will be talking about when she is on a visit
1:18:47 > 1:18:51there. Can you understand, with regards to that as well, there might
1:18:51 > 1:18:54be some people saying we are having trouble retaining teachers in this
1:18:54 > 1:18:57country. Surely we should sort out the education system here before we
1:18:57 > 1:19:01are putting money and resources into using these links with other
1:19:01 > 1:19:04countries.Well, we have record numbers of teachers in the
1:19:04 > 1:19:08profession today. Last year we recruited 32,000 graduates coming
1:19:08 > 1:19:12into teaching, which is a 3% increase on the previous year. When
1:19:12 > 1:19:16you do have a strong economy, of course it is challenging to recruit
1:19:16 > 1:19:20graduates, as every industry finds and every other profession finds in
1:19:20 > 1:19:24this country. But we have very generous tax-free bursaries, £26,000
1:19:24 > 1:19:28for the best graduates in some subjects, and we want the best
1:19:28 > 1:19:32graduates to come into teaching. Thank you very much for your time
1:19:32 > 1:19:35this morning. Good to talk to you.
1:19:35 > 1:19:41Carol has ventured out into the cold for us this morning.
1:19:41 > 1:19:41We
1:19:41 > 1:19:45We are talking about the weather, obviously, and whether we might be
1:19:45 > 1:19:51able to see this special super moon today.That's right, good morning. I
1:19:51 > 1:19:56am outside the BBC in London. I have an interesting weather fax. At the
1:19:56 > 1:19:59moment we have two weather fronts crossing England and Wales. This
1:19:59 > 1:20:02morning out here it was 10 degrees and as the first weather front
1:20:02 > 1:20:05crossed through, as it has just done, the temperatures dropped down
1:20:05 > 1:20:10to eight degrees. As the second one comes through, the temperatures will
1:20:10 > 1:20:13drop further to five degrees. So across southern England and south
1:20:13 > 1:20:17Wales, the temperatures today is actually going to go down. You asked
1:20:17 > 1:20:21about the blue super moon, so-called blue because it happens twice in one
1:20:21 > 1:20:25month once in a blue moon, and tonight it is at its peak, its
1:20:25 > 1:20:31closest to Earth. It will look 30% brighter and 14% bigger than it
1:20:31 > 1:20:35usually does. And the reason is, because it is closest to Earth, the
1:20:35 > 1:20:39best chance for seeing it is Scotland, north-east England, and
1:20:39 > 1:20:43possibly south-east England. Today's forecast is one of the cold wind and
1:20:43 > 1:20:46also some wintry showers. It has been stowing overnight across
1:20:46 > 1:20:49Northern Ireland, Scotland and northern England and will continue
1:20:49 > 1:20:53to do so as we go through the course of the day. There are showers, not
1:20:53 > 1:20:57all of us seeing them. Most of the combinations of snow will be across
1:20:57 > 1:21:00higher grounds. In between the showers there will be bright skies
1:21:00 > 1:21:04but it will feel cold with the cold are already behind those fronts.
1:21:04 > 1:21:09There are also some snow showers and northern England, across the
1:21:09 > 1:21:12Pennines, and then we run into a two dense of RAM, which are continuing
1:21:12 > 1:21:16to cross. Some of them are heavy across the Midlands, for example,
1:21:16 > 1:21:19Cheshire, it towards the north-east of England as well, but all of that
1:21:19 > 1:21:22will come south and clear the south-east, leaving showers behind
1:21:22 > 1:21:25with some sunshine. In the south, some of the showers, the heavier
1:21:25 > 1:21:30ones, may have a little bit of sleet and hail mixed in with them. Maybe
1:21:30 > 1:21:33even some lightning as we currently do have. All this rain at the moment
1:21:33 > 1:21:37continuing to push away and behind it will see a return to sunshine and
1:21:37 > 1:21:42showers. In Northern Ireland, the snow showers on and off as we go
1:21:42 > 1:21:45through the course of the day. Any cumulation is likely to be on the
1:21:45 > 1:21:49hills or higher. Through the day we have that snow in the north,
1:21:49 > 1:21:53interspersed with brighter, sunny spells. And as the rain pushes into
1:21:53 > 1:21:56the English Channel and the near continent, we are back into a lot of
1:21:56 > 1:22:00dry weather, some sunshine, and those showers. But it is going to
1:22:00 > 1:22:03feel cold. We have a windy day coming straight down from the
1:22:03 > 1:22:08Arctic. So the ten you see in London is what we had earlier, that
1:22:08 > 1:22:11temperature is going down. As we head on through the evening and
1:22:11 > 1:22:14overnight period, we continue with some snow showers in the north, and
1:22:14 > 1:22:18the wind will pick up. Gales, even severe gales in the north and
1:22:18 > 1:22:21north-east of Scotland. First thing in the morning, if you are
1:22:21 > 1:22:24travelling, bear in mind might be the risk of ice on untreated
1:22:24 > 1:22:28surfaces. So tomorrow, we still will have the snow showers across the
1:22:28 > 1:22:31north, some of the heavier ones getting down to lower levels. But
1:22:31 > 1:22:36again, they are showers, so not all of us will them. Further north, some
1:22:36 > 1:22:40showers, but for most of us another dry and bright day, some of us
1:22:40 > 1:22:44seeing some lengthy spells of sunshine. Still quite windy, but
1:22:44 > 1:22:47temperatures just a touch on what we're looking at today. And on
1:22:47 > 1:22:51Friday a ridge of high-pressure topples across us, so things settle
1:22:51 > 1:22:55down. A lot of dry weather, most of the showers will be across the east
1:22:55 > 1:23:00coast, where it will be windier, and just before I go I want to give you
1:23:00 > 1:23:04a heads up that this could happen at the weekend. Some of us could see
1:23:04 > 1:23:10some snow as a weather front
1:23:11 > 1:23:13some snow as a weather front bumped the cold air and produces some snow.
1:23:13 > 1:23:17But that could change, so will keep you posted in the next few days.
1:23:17 > 1:23:17Thank you
1:23:17 > 1:23:18you posted in the next few days. Thank you for that, and thank you
1:23:18 > 1:23:23for being out for us as well. We will see you a little bit later,
1:23:23 > 1:23:27Carol. She was saying it was not as cold in the south of England as it
1:23:27 > 1:23:31is in some other parts, but she doesn't -- so she does Max Leaney
1:23:31 > 1:23:34the big coat. The Daily Mirror leads with the great British cancer
1:23:34 > 1:23:40scandal, leaving the UK with the worst cancer survival rates. -- she
1:23:40 > 1:23:49doesn't need the big coat. And Brendan Cole has been on Strictly
1:23:49 > 1:23:53for 13 years, 15 seasons, something like that. He will no longer be part
1:23:53 > 1:23:58of strictly come dancing. Lots of support for him yesterday.He's a
1:23:58 > 1:24:04character, a great dancer, and he won.And he has a bite back at the
1:24:04 > 1:24:07judges, some saying that has not gone down too well. As many people
1:24:07 > 1:24:15are saying, we just get on with it. The show goes on.The front page of
1:24:15 > 1:24:21the Times, there are lots of papers looking at this BBC pay review. It
1:24:21 > 1:24:27will give more rises to men than women. Carrie Gracie and Tony Hall
1:24:27 > 1:24:31go to the Select Committee today, so expect more analysis of all of that
1:24:31 > 1:24:34tomorrow. That is the way the Guardian has written it up as well,
1:24:34 > 1:24:40BBC backlash as they reject claims of gender bias.Transfer deadline
1:24:40 > 1:24:44day to day. The Telegraph showing us some of the deals which are waiting
1:24:44 > 1:24:48to be completed. We will talk more about that after 7:30 a.m.. Most of
1:24:48 > 1:24:56it centres around this arsenal, Chelsea, Dortmund
1:24:56 > 1:25:00Chelsea, Dortmund triangle around Aubamayang. Manchester City
1:25:00 > 1:25:08interested in a deal which Leicester do not want to do -- Aubameyang. And
1:25:08 > 1:25:14the magic sponge mob. The best birthday present, four of his stars
1:25:14 > 1:25:19are fit to play, suddenly. A year ago, Eddie Jones was given a nonslip
1:25:19 > 1:25:25bath mat from his team, because he had come in with a bruised face
1:25:25 > 1:25:28after a fall in the shower. Scotland a lot of injury problems as well,
1:25:28 > 1:25:33Warren Gatland has picked ten Scarlets players, hoping that they
1:25:33 > 1:25:39will do the business for him. And a tribute to Cyrille Regis, in the
1:25:39 > 1:25:48Times. A powerful farewell to a gentle pioneer.And thousands of
1:25:48 > 1:25:55people turned up to that service. Yes, whoever you support.
1:25:55 > 1:25:59Bloopermarket is something being highlighted in the mirror. The extra
1:25:59 > 1:26:02basic value range stuff, do you know the difference? Whether it is
1:26:02 > 1:26:08cornflakes, chopped tomatoes, difference intends. Sometimes, it
1:26:08 > 1:26:11has been highlighted, those products could be pretty much identical,
1:26:11 > 1:26:15coming from the same factory, the same ingredients, proportions, the
1:26:15 > 1:26:18only difference is the packaging and the price. But why is it we
1:26:18 > 1:26:22sometimes go for that slightly nicer packaging, and why is that the
1:26:22 > 1:26:26supermarkets charge more?And it can be exactly the same product in the
1:26:26 > 1:26:30ten, on occasions? We have talked about that before, we like our
1:26:30 > 1:26:39brands.I do check, as much as I can.I was in having a go at!Value
1:26:39 > 1:26:45Coco Pops, cornflakes, things like that.
1:26:45 > 1:26:52that.Other healthy Breakfast materials, as well, I should say! I
1:26:52 > 1:30:15have been outed as an unhealthy Breakfast man.You outed yourself!
1:30:15 > 1:30:17unsettled, especially through Saturday morning.
1:30:17 > 1:30:18That rain clearing, though, Saturday afternoon.
1:30:18 > 1:30:21I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
1:30:21 > 1:30:22in half an hour.
1:30:22 > 1:30:25Now, though, it is back to Dan and Louise.
1:30:25 > 1:30:26Bye for now.
1:30:26 > 1:30:29Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
1:30:29 > 1:30:31Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
1:30:31 > 1:30:35The Prime Minister has responded to days of attacks by declaring
1:30:35 > 1:30:35she's not a quitter.
1:30:35 > 1:30:38Theresa May is said to journalists there was a long-term
1:30:38 > 1:30:41job to be done and she is serving her country and party.
1:30:41 > 1:30:44She made the comments before touching down in China
1:30:44 > 1:30:45on a trade mission.
1:30:45 > 1:30:46She hopes to strengthen relationships with
1:30:46 > 1:30:54Beijing and said she wouldn't shy away from the difficult issues.
1:30:56 > 1:31:00Earlier on Breakfast and Nick Gibb, the Minister for school standards,
1:31:00 > 1:31:04defended Mrs May and her ability to deliver Brexit.
1:31:04 > 1:31:09She's a very stead fast and strong leader. She's negotiating the exit
1:31:09 > 1:31:12of the United Kingdom from the European Union. We've taken the
1:31:12 > 1:31:15first stage of the bill through the House of Commons successfully with a
1:31:15 > 1:31:21majority of 29, and we've completed the first stage of the EU exit
1:31:21 > 1:31:25negotiations with the EU. She's the best leader to unite our party and
1:31:25 > 1:31:28to take Britain outside the European Union in these very difficult times.
1:31:28 > 1:31:31President Trump has said he's taken forward his righteous mission
1:31:31 > 1:31:34to make America great again during his first year in office.
1:31:34 > 1:31:36In his first State of the Union address,
1:31:36 > 1:31:39Mr Trump said he'd introduced record tax cuts for everyone,
1:31:39 > 1:31:40the stock market was booming, jobs
1:31:40 > 1:31:48were being created and unemployment was at a record low.
1:31:51 > 1:31:54The Director-General of the BBC, Tony Hall, will appear before MPs
1:31:54 > 1:31:57today as the corporation faces further scrutiny over equal pay.
1:31:57 > 1:32:00The Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee will also
1:32:00 > 1:32:02hear from the BBC's former China editor Carrie Gracie,
1:32:02 > 1:32:04who resigned from her role in protest at inequalities.
1:32:04 > 1:32:08It comes a day after an auditor's report found there was no gender
1:32:08 > 1:32:09bias at the corporation.
1:32:09 > 1:32:12A light aircraft that crashed in Australia on New Year's Eve
1:32:12 > 1:32:15killing five members of a British family had veered significantly
1:32:15 > 1:32:17off its intended course, according to investigators.
1:32:17 > 1:32:18In total six people were killed, including
1:32:18 > 1:32:19the Canadian pilot.
1:32:19 > 1:32:22The boss of the flight operator said the pilot's manoeuvres leading up
1:32:22 > 1:32:25to the crash as inexplicable for someone with so much experience.
1:32:25 > 1:32:33There is still no preferred theory as to why the plane went off course.
1:32:34 > 1:32:38There are renewed calls to fortify flour with folic acid in the hope it
1:32:38 > 1:32:41will help protect babies from common birth defects such a spina bifida.
1:32:41 > 1:32:45A new study found higher doses of the vitamin in fresh fruit
1:32:45 > 1:32:46and vegetables, does not cause harm as had been previously thought.
1:32:46 > 1:32:48The Department of Health says it's considering the findings
1:32:48 > 1:32:50while Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland already
1:32:50 > 1:32:58support the idea.
1:32:58 > 1:33:00Two officials from Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency have
1:33:00 > 1:33:01resigned after a ballistic missile
1:33:01 > 1:33:02alert was sent in error.
1:33:02 > 1:33:05It took the authorities 38 minutes to correct the message
1:33:05 > 1:33:07which caused widespread panic across the island
1:33:07 > 1:33:08earlier this month.
1:33:08 > 1:33:11A third man thought to be responsible for the message
1:33:11 > 1:33:11has been fired.
1:33:11 > 1:33:14An investigation found a combination of human error and inadequate
1:33:14 > 1:33:22safeguards were responsible.
1:33:25 > 1:33:29The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are in Sweden today as their
1:33:29 > 1:33:32four-day tour of Scandinavia continues. It's on the front page of
1:33:32 > 1:33:36many of the papers this morning, yesterday they met the Swedish Prime
1:33:36 > 1:33:44Minister and took to the ice in Stockholm where they took part in an
1:33:44 > 1:33:48ice-off. If you don't want to know the result then look away now.
1:33:48 > 1:33:54William won 2-1.
1:33:54 > 1:33:58Now, you can keep your supermoons, and you can even keep your blue
1:33:58 > 1:34:01moons because tonight's lunar spectacle in some parts of the world
1:34:01 > 1:34:02will take some beating.
1:34:02 > 1:34:04The supermoons and eclipses you can see here are impressive
1:34:04 > 1:34:07enough, but a super blue blood moon hasn't happened for more
1:34:07 > 1:34:13than 100 years.
1:34:13 > 1:34:15It's when three lunar phenomenon all happen at once,
1:34:15 > 1:34:18meaning the moon should be bigger, brighter and also turn red
1:34:18 > 1:34:19for a while.
1:34:19 > 1:34:21Unfortunately it won't be visible from the UK,
1:34:21 > 1:34:25but people in parts of the US, Asia, Russia and Australia could be
1:34:25 > 1:34:26in for a treat,
1:34:26 > 1:34:30weather permitting.
1:34:30 > 1:34:39It's a superbly blood Moon.All three mixed together. -- super
1:34:39 > 1:34:44blueblood Moon.I know you have tried tried on several occasions to
1:34:44 > 1:34:49take pictures of the Moon, is that fair?An horrendous but I've never
1:34:49 > 1:34:53used a proper camera.We have a few tips for you later if you want to
1:34:53 > 1:34:59successfully take a picture of the moon to get some good shots, we have
1:34:59 > 1:35:03some proper knowledge.One of the moon fax yesterday we had was it
1:35:03 > 1:35:07would take nine years to walk to the moon, and people said, what if you
1:35:07 > 1:35:14are a slow walk -- fact. I'm sure it's an average! Only 12 men have
1:35:14 > 1:35:17ever walked on the moon, that's what we learned yesterday.And you're
1:35:17 > 1:35:22never going to be able to do it so does it matter?You have entirely
1:35:22 > 1:35:23ruined that fact now!
1:35:23 > 1:35:27And in just over an hour's time, we'll speak to the daughter
1:35:27 > 1:35:29of the poet and novelist Helen Dunmore, who was posthumously
1:35:29 > 1:35:33awarded the Costa Book of the Year prize for her final volume
1:35:33 > 1:35:37of poetry.
1:35:37 > 1:35:41Sonali is here, it is transfer deadline day, lots of money being
1:35:41 > 1:35:47spent?Lots has already been spent, £250 million, that has broken the
1:35:47 > 1:35:50January transfer window record.
1:35:50 > 1:35:52Football clubs will be frantically trying to finalise last-minute deals
1:35:52 > 1:35:55ahead of the transfer window closing at 11pm tonight.
1:35:55 > 1:35:56One transfer already sorted is defender
1:35:56 > 1:35:58Aymeric Larporte's move to Manchester City.
1:35:58 > 1:36:01The Premier League leaders have signed the Frenchman for a club
1:36:01 > 1:36:04record fee of £57 million, which makes him the second most
1:36:04 > 1:36:08expensive defender in history.
1:36:08 > 1:36:10Nice that he could come in as well!
1:36:10 > 1:36:12The most talked about transfer this window,
1:36:12 > 1:36:15and one that is expected to go down to the wire,
1:36:15 > 1:36:17is Arsenal's move for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
1:36:17 > 1:36:17from Borussia Dortmund.
1:36:17 > 1:36:24It really is a merry-go-round!
1:36:24 > 1:36:26The striker has a medical scheduled for this morning,
1:36:26 > 1:36:29but the deal is dependent on the German side finding
1:36:29 > 1:36:30a suitable replacement.
1:36:30 > 1:36:32Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud may have the biggest say
1:36:32 > 1:36:34in whether the deal is completed.
1:36:34 > 1:36:37Giroud was lined up as part of the deal to replace Aubameyang
1:36:37 > 1:36:39at Dortmund but would prefer to stay
1:36:39 > 1:36:42in London and could be making his way to Chelsea instead.
1:36:42 > 1:36:44That would free up Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi
1:36:44 > 1:36:46to move to Dortmund as a replacement for Aubameyang.
1:36:46 > 1:36:49But it all depends if Chelsea and Arsenal can agree
1:36:49 > 1:36:53a price for Giroud.
1:36:53 > 1:36:59It's like chess.It really is. Or being stuck in a train in a house
1:36:59 > 1:37:06purchase.It's frustrating, if all that relies on another move, you can
1:37:06 > 1:37:12understand why managers get miffed ASH chain.And it's annoying when
1:37:12 > 1:37:16you are picking players around deadline day -- chain.
1:37:16 > 1:37:18Swansea City are out of the Premier League relegation
1:37:18 > 1:37:21zone for the first time since November after a shock 3-1
1:37:21 > 1:37:22victory over Arsenal.
1:37:22 > 1:37:25Arsene Wenger's side had been ahead but this error
1:37:25 > 1:37:27from goalkeeper Petr Cech gifted Swansea the lead.
1:37:27 > 1:37:30Sam Clucas also scored twice, ensuring his side beat another big
1:37:30 > 1:37:32name a week after their victory over Liverpool.
1:37:32 > 1:37:34Afterwards, their manager used an interesting comparison
1:37:34 > 1:37:37to describe how his team is feeling at the moment.
1:37:37 > 1:37:43In the first place, confidence was what was needed in that moment.
1:37:44 > 1:37:47After two defeats, Liverpool also turned a corner last night,
1:37:47 > 1:37:50although this poor little lad missed the best bits as his team beat
1:37:50 > 1:37:51Huddersfield 3-0.
1:37:51 > 1:37:54Emre Can got them off the mark with this long-range effort
1:37:54 > 1:37:56and Huddersfield froze as Roberto Firmino bore down on them
1:37:56 > 1:37:58at the end of the first half.
1:37:58 > 1:38:01Mo Salah added a late penalty as manager Jurgen Klopp got
1:38:01 > 1:38:04the better of his best friend David Wagner for the second time
1:38:04 > 1:38:05this season.
1:38:05 > 1:38:08West Ham and Crystal Palace played out a 1-1 draw.
1:38:08 > 1:38:11Both goals came in the first half, Christian Benteke with the opening
1:38:11 > 1:38:14the scoring before West Ham equalised just before half time
1:38:14 > 1:38:15through a penalty.
1:38:15 > 1:38:22In Scotland, Celtic beat Hearts 3-1.
1:38:34 > 1:38:37And here's boxer Amir Khan throwing a tantrum, or rather water,
1:38:37 > 1:38:40over opponent Phil Lo Greco yesterday, reacting to talk
1:38:40 > 1:38:42about his personal life.
1:38:42 > 1:38:45This was a press conference before pair meet in Liverpool on the 21st
1:38:45 > 1:38:48of April, Khan is fighting for the first time in nearly two years.
1:38:48 > 1:38:52Eddie Hearn is in the middle, I can't believe we called him a
1:38:52 > 1:38:55bouncer!Bouncer, babysitter, boss, everything! I would say he is
1:38:55 > 1:39:02everything!He's the promoter! Sorry, Eddie!I was too busy looking
1:39:02 > 1:39:03at the fight too!
1:39:03 > 1:39:07All day today, BBC News is looking at how Brexit could affect
1:39:07 > 1:39:11Britain's border security.
1:39:11 > 1:39:13The government wants a new treaty setting out
1:39:13 > 1:39:19a close security relationship with Europe,
1:39:19 > 1:39:22but the head of EUROPOL, the European law enforcement agency,
1:39:22 > 1:39:26is warning that the UK will have to get the right deal from the EU
1:39:26 > 1:39:28to maintain a prominent role.
1:39:28 > 1:39:30Let's get more detail now from Breakfast's John Maguire,
1:39:30 > 1:39:33who is at the Portsmouth International Ferry Terminal for us.
1:39:33 > 1:39:37Good morning.It is empty, Louise, with the passengers going on the
1:39:37 > 1:39:41ferries, but it's a busy trade port. It's the second most important
1:39:41 > 1:39:46cross-Channel route after obviously Dover to Calais. They get 250,000
1:39:46 > 1:39:50lorries crossing here. Pull the cameraman just pointed out the great
1:39:50 > 1:39:55big exit sign, we should put a BR in front of it to say Brexit because
1:39:55 > 1:40:00that's what we're talking about today. Trade, borders and security
1:40:00 > 1:40:04are all intrinsically linked. You can see the very desks waiting to
1:40:04 > 1:40:08advise passengers, we've already had arrivals from the Channel Islands
1:40:08 > 1:40:12this morning -- ferry guests. The border control will check passports,
1:40:12 > 1:40:19those are for the foot passengers, the cars are outside -- ferry desks.
1:40:19 > 1:40:24There are container ships outside as well. A very busy place. We can
1:40:24 > 1:40:28speak to Councillor Donna Jones, the leader of Portsmouth City Council.
1:40:28 > 1:40:31What are the specialist considerations when you're
1:40:31 > 1:40:35considering life outside Brexit thinking about the port, the
1:40:35 > 1:40:39challenges ahead?This is the largest owned municipal port in the
1:40:39 > 1:40:42country and the second busiest cross-Channel ferry port in the
1:40:42 > 1:40:46country. For us it's around freight. I'm not so concerned about the
1:40:46 > 1:40:51security of passengers, getting people in and out of the country, UK
1:40:51 > 1:40:57Border Force have that
1:40:57 > 1:40:59Border Force have that sorted, but freight and how customs and excise
1:40:59 > 1:41:03want us to check lorries coming into the UK from the European Union, will
1:41:03 > 1:41:08it be a check of one in four or one in three? For us as a ferry port we
1:41:08 > 1:41:12might need to build larger container car parks while that freight is
1:41:12 > 1:41:14checked, so that's something we're working very closely with the
1:41:14 > 1:41:18department for exiting the EU on right now to make sure the ports are
1:41:18 > 1:41:21adequately provided for.We are trying to make ourselves as
1:41:21 > 1:41:24attractive as possible as a trading nation, do security checks
1:41:24 > 1:41:27sometimes, not get in the way, but are they a consideration that can
1:41:27 > 1:41:32make it more difficult perhaps portrayed to take place?When a big
1:41:32 > 1:41:36company, a big supermarket is importing goods via shipping
1:41:36 > 1:41:40movements, they want it as quick and a fresh as possible. We have a huge
1:41:40 > 1:41:45amount of fish that comes into the UK for consumption that needs to be
1:41:45 > 1:41:50eaten quickly, it needs to come through from the EU to Portsmouth so
1:41:50 > 1:41:54we're considering that with the government department. I also
1:41:54 > 1:41:58represent key cities across the country as the Brexit lead, so we're
1:41:58 > 1:42:03making sure that key cities across Britain are really working to the
1:42:03 > 1:42:07government's plan and tying in with the industrial strategy to make sure
1:42:07 > 1:42:10the economy grows as quickly and strongly as it can.Thanks for your
1:42:10 > 1:42:15time. A couple of people with their cases, not sure if they arrived or
1:42:15 > 1:42:19if they are not leave in. I want to speak to Joe Root Weinman from
1:42:19 > 1:42:25YouGuv. You've been
1:42:25 > 1:42:29YouGuv. You've been doing some surveys. -- if they arrived or if
1:42:29 > 1:42:35they are not leaving.Brexit negotiators and is not the most
1:42:35 > 1:42:39important thing and what is depends on whether you are a Remainer or a
1:42:39 > 1:42:44lever. Border security comes after the economy and trade talks. If you
1:42:44 > 1:42:48want to remain in the EU. If you want to leave its about sovereignty
1:42:48 > 1:42:53and immigration and then security so overall it's a second order
1:42:53 > 1:42:57consideration.Any changes in public opinion? Are these considerations
1:42:57 > 1:43:02people thought about when the vote was cast 18 months ago?When the
1:43:02 > 1:43:06vote was cast, if you thought national security as an issue was
1:43:06 > 1:43:10more important than the economy, it was almost certain, there was a good
1:43:10 > 1:43:14chance, you would vote Leave but this is the crucial point, most
1:43:14 > 1:43:17people thought it wouldn't make much difference and that number has
1:43:17 > 1:43:21actually grown. Last year, 18 months ago, four out of ten people thought
1:43:21 > 1:43:28it wouldn't make much
1:43:28 > 1:43:30it wouldn't make much difference of what happened, now that's nearly
1:43:30 > 1:43:33half of all people. Yes it's important but most people don't
1:43:33 > 1:43:36think it will make much difference. Outside I can see the shipping
1:43:36 > 1:43:39containers being loaded on and off, we have cars going across the
1:43:39 > 1:43:43ferries, they will be full of people wondering about the future of ports
1:43:43 > 1:43:47like this. Is it something people are really concerned about? What's
1:43:47 > 1:43:50happening with those sorts of trends?What's interesting around
1:43:50 > 1:43:56the issue of security imports is it is wrapped up in so many other
1:43:56 > 1:44:01areas, you look at containers and trade, passports, immigration. It's
1:44:01 > 1:44:06one of these many areas that bring in lots of different issues and its
1:44:06 > 1:44:09places like Portsmouth and ports particularly that focus attention on
1:44:09 > 1:44:14all those areas.Joe, thanks for your time. Things are getting a bit
1:44:14 > 1:44:19busier as the daylight comes. Quite a few crossing is taking place later
1:44:19 > 1:44:24today, 2 million passengers go across the channel on ferries from
1:44:24 > 1:44:28Portsmouth to northern Spain and Northern France. We have border
1:44:28 > 1:44:32control over there, very interesting, very challenging
1:44:32 > 1:44:35negotiations to take place in the weeks, months and years ahead. Back
1:44:35 > 1:44:39to you.
1:44:39 > 1:44:46Thank you very much, and disk is continuing, this question -- this is
1:44:46 > 1:44:50continuing, this question about security in Brexit, on Breakfast and
1:44:50 > 1:44:51throughout the day.
1:44:51 > 1:44:56Carol has ventured out into the cold for us this morning.
1:44:56 > 1:45:02You have, lamented that coat with a lovely scarf, Carol.And in my haste
1:45:02 > 1:45:12to get out here, I have left the gloves behind -- Komla
1:45:15 > 1:45:15gloves behind -- Komla -- complemented.
1:45:15 > 1:45:16gloves behind -- Komla -- complemented. Today's forecast for
1:45:16 > 1:45:21us all is we have a cold wind, and there are some wintry showers. The
1:45:21 > 1:45:25wintry showers have been falling overnight and also this morning
1:45:25 > 1:45:29across Northern Ireland, northern England, and also Scotland. So if we
1:45:29 > 1:45:33start that forecast at 9am in Scotland, we continue with these
1:45:33 > 1:45:37snow showers. They are showers, so not all of us are seeing them, but
1:45:37 > 1:45:43we will see some especially at lower levels. In between, clear skies. One
1:45:43 > 1:45:47or two Celsius in Aberdeen. Across northern England, showers,
1:45:47 > 1:45:50especially across the Pennines. Some of us missing them altogether,
1:45:50 > 1:45:55seeing a drive at cold start. Rain currently continuing to push across
1:45:55 > 1:45:58the Midlands, south Wales, heading down towards the wash and another
1:45:58 > 1:46:02band just across the south of England. All of that will push away
1:46:02 > 1:46:05into the English Channel, leaving brighter skies behind. The sun will
1:46:05 > 1:46:09come out, and we will see some showers. Some of the showers in the
1:46:09 > 1:46:14south today, including Wales, will have a little bit of sleet and hail
1:46:14 > 1:46:18in them. Most of us will not see that, we will just be rain. If you
1:46:18 > 1:46:22are in Northern Ireland, snow showers on and off throughout the
1:46:22 > 1:46:25day interspersed with some brighter skies. The accumulation of snow will
1:46:25 > 1:46:29tend to be on the hills. Through the day we carry on with the snow
1:46:29 > 1:46:32showers. Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern England. In between, we
1:46:32 > 1:46:37will see the bright skies. Showers mostly of rain. Temperature-wise.
1:46:37 > 1:46:41You will see ten in London, that has already happened. It has gone and
1:46:41 > 1:46:45the temperature is coming down. Generally speaking we are looking
1:46:45 > 1:46:49forward to about six to about eight further south. As we head on through
1:46:49 > 1:46:54the evening and overnight, while it will still be windy as it will be
1:46:54 > 1:46:59today, the wind in the north, north-east of Scotland, where we are
1:46:59 > 1:47:03looking at Gales and severe gales. A lot of dry weather, and the risk of
1:47:03 > 1:47:07ice in the north. Temperatures you can see their indicate what you can
1:47:07 > 1:47:12expect in towns and cities, rural areas will be lower than this. As we
1:47:12 > 1:47:15head into tomorrow, we are looking at Gales with exposure across the
1:47:15 > 1:47:20north and north-west of Scotland. Still those wintry showers in the
1:47:20 > 1:47:24north, even at lower levels at times. Still a lot of dry weather
1:47:24 > 1:47:28around. A fair bit of sunshine, one or two showers further south and
1:47:28 > 1:47:32began temperatures and notch up on where we are looking at today, so
1:47:32 > 1:47:35feeling cold. On Friday, a ridge of high pressure is settling things
1:47:35 > 1:47:41down quite nicely. A lot of sunshine around, actually. In the east, prone
1:47:41 > 1:47:45to a few showers, and here it will be windy and cold. Heads up for the
1:47:45 > 1:47:49weekend. This is what we think at the moment. A cold front will come
1:47:49 > 1:47:53in, bringing in some rain. As it engages with the Colback, some of us
1:47:53 > 1:47:57will see some snow. That could change but at least you are aware at
1:47:57 > 1:48:01the moment that it could also happen and I would rather tell you that are
1:48:01 > 1:48:05not. If you're hoping to see the Blues supermen, the clearest place
1:48:05 > 1:48:08to see it is in the clear skies in eastern and north-eastern Scotland,
1:48:08 > 1:48:21and northern England -- lube supermoon. -- blue supermoon. And we
1:48:21 > 1:48:22might
1:48:22 > 1:48:26supermoon. -- blue supermoon. And we might be losing some cash machines.
1:48:26 > 1:48:31Are you a cash man?I do like to carry a little bit of cash. I could
1:48:31 > 1:48:39be a cash man. I got a wallet for Christmas.I haven't had a wallet
1:48:39 > 1:48:43for ages, it may be used more cash!
1:48:43 > 1:48:46This is all about what happens behind the scenes when we make
1:48:46 > 1:48:47a cash withdrawal.
1:48:47 > 1:48:49There are about 70,000 ATMs across the country,
1:48:49 > 1:48:51owned by banks, building societies and independent firms,
1:48:51 > 1:48:53and for US, most are free to use.
1:48:53 > 1:48:57But that is not true for banks, because every time you take cash
1:48:57 > 1:48:59out, your bank pays the machine operator something called
1:48:59 > 1:49:01the interchange fee, and currently that is 25p.
1:49:01 > 1:49:06But the biggest operator in the business wants to cut that
1:49:06 > 1:49:09to just 20p, essentially meaning running a cash point is less
1:49:09 > 1:49:11profitable to run, unless lots more people use them.
1:49:11 > 1:49:18Will these changes be good enough for the banks,
1:49:18 > 1:49:21which pay out millions of pounds every year in these fees?
1:49:21 > 1:49:24Other machine operators and consumer groups say the changes will lead
1:49:24 > 1:49:25to fewer free-to-use cash machines.
1:49:25 > 1:49:28Let's talk to John Howells, boss of the cash machine network
1:49:28 > 1:49:36Link.
1:49:38 > 1:49:44John, good morning.Good morning.A simple one to start. How many cash
1:49:44 > 1:49:48machines do you expect to be closing over the coming years?I think we
1:49:48 > 1:49:52need to make sure we have free ATMs for consumers were years to come
1:49:52 > 1:49:55right across the country. We are seeing fewer and fewer consumers
1:49:55 > 1:50:01using cash and using our ATMs, so that is why we are changing the
1:50:01 > 1:50:04pricing to make sure we keep that broad spread, but it would expect to
1:50:04 > 1:50:08see the numbers start to come down, especially in city centres -- I
1:50:08 > 1:50:13would expect.So in total, 2000, 3000 or 4000. So can you even
1:50:13 > 1:50:17guarantee that those cash machines that are crucial to people,
1:50:17 > 1:50:21especially ones in rural areas, can you guarantee people will still have
1:50:21 > 1:50:27access to one of they need one?Yes, we can. Because we what we need to
1:50:27 > 1:50:30do is make sure that in quiet towns and villages there are free accurate
1:50:30 > 1:50:36years to come. There are, we will be paying more to ATM operators. It is
1:50:36 > 1:50:41crucial we keep a broad ATM networks spread across the UK for a couple
1:50:41 > 1:50:46more decades, and that is what Link will do.You say it is crucial, a
1:50:46 > 1:50:50lot of people will agree with you. What if that bank in that rural area
1:50:50 > 1:50:54doesn't think you are paying enough and decides to close the machine in
1:50:54 > 1:50:58that village?If it is a quiet village, a rural village, Link will
1:50:58 > 1:51:02do whatever it takes in terms of paying your Mac paying operators to
1:51:02 > 1:51:10make sure we have free ATM -- paying operators.So if the bank said £1
1:51:10 > 1:51:14per transaction, you would go up to that much? That sounds like a great
1:51:14 > 1:51:18negotiating position.If we have a village or town which doesn't have a
1:51:18 > 1:51:23free ATM, we will do whatever it takes to make sure there is a free
1:51:23 > 1:51:27ATM for consumers there. Link's job is to provide a broad free network
1:51:27 > 1:51:32of ATMs for many decades to come. We think we can cut the price in busy,
1:51:32 > 1:51:36city centres where you have 40 or 50 ATMs very close together. That is
1:51:36 > 1:51:41where we will save the money. But in quieter towns and villages, we will
1:51:41 > 1:51:45guarantee there is an ATM.And clearly someone has to pay for this
1:51:45 > 1:51:50service. Will there be a point when we see more cash machines charging
1:51:50 > 1:51:54customers when we get to take our cash out?I think we need to have an
1:51:54 > 1:51:58extensive free network. So for Link it is not acceptable to have pockets
1:51:58 > 1:52:01of charging machines open up so consumers have no choice. For
1:52:01 > 1:52:06example, if you are in a rural town or village, I would expect there to
1:52:06 > 1:52:10be a free ATM provision that, maybe some charging ones as well. What you
1:52:10 > 1:52:15cannot force consumers to use a charging ATM, and what Link will do
1:52:15 > 1:52:19is ensure we have free ATMs spread right across the country. That is
1:52:19 > 1:52:28what our reforms today are designed to do.We will keep an eye over the
1:52:28 > 1:52:33coming months and years whether your local machine remains free. Let us
1:52:33 > 1:52:35know if you spot any changes.
1:52:35 > 1:52:38Over the last few months, stargazers have been lucky enough
1:52:38 > 1:52:40to see supermoons, and even a blue moon.
1:52:40 > 1:52:43But this evening, the night sky will offer something even more
1:52:43 > 1:52:44spectacular - a super-blue-blood-moon.
1:52:44 > 1:52:47It is a combination of three lunar phenomena, all happening at once,
1:52:47 > 1:52:50and hasn't been seen for more than 150 years.
1:52:50 > 1:52:53Thousands of people across the world will be waiting to catch a glimpse
1:52:53 > 1:52:57of it, many of whom will be trying to capture it on camera.
1:52:57 > 1:52:59But just how hard is that to achieve?
1:52:59 > 1:53:02We sent Breakfast's Graham Satchell out with a moon photographer
1:53:02 > 1:53:10to find out.
1:53:10 > 1:53:13We are somewhere near the east coast of England.
1:53:13 > 1:53:15Meet at 0430 hours, I was told.
1:53:15 > 1:53:22# Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone...
1:53:22 > 1:53:24Hello, Danny.
1:53:24 > 1:53:26Danny Lawson is a photographer for the Press Association.
1:53:26 > 1:53:29His pictures end up in papers across the country.
1:53:29 > 1:53:31So these are the ones we'll be using.
1:53:31 > 1:53:36This is yours.
1:53:36 > 1:53:39Moon watchers are excited, because it's not just a full moon.
1:53:39 > 1:53:41It's a super-blood-blue-moon - quite rare.
1:53:41 > 1:53:45How do you get a perfect shot at it?
1:53:45 > 1:53:50The times with a supermoon, if I can photograph it next
1:53:50 > 1:53:53to a point of interest on the horizon, to give you scale,
1:53:53 > 1:53:54that's what you're looking for.
1:53:54 > 1:54:02You're after showing the moon in situ, in scale.
1:54:03 > 1:54:11Danny has taken some of the most stunning, breathtaking photographs.
1:54:11 > 1:54:14And this is what he means about giving the moon scale -
1:54:14 > 1:54:20a focal point in the foreground, as the moon sets on the horizon.
1:54:20 > 1:54:24For tonight's shot, Danny has chosen the Humber oil refinery.
1:54:24 > 1:54:27But will the weather be kind to us?
1:54:27 > 1:54:30The moon is in a battle with the clouds.
1:54:30 > 1:54:31What are you seeing, Danny?
1:54:31 > 1:54:33I'm seeing a lot of black.
1:54:33 > 1:54:36There is still half an hour or so before the moon sets,
1:54:36 > 1:54:38so we settle down to wait.
1:54:38 > 1:54:44# I see a bad moon rising...
1:54:44 > 1:54:49You know, Danny, a lot of people associate the moon with madness.
1:54:49 > 1:54:52So the Latin word for the moon is "luna," where we get
1:54:52 > 1:54:55lunatic, or lunacy.
1:54:55 > 1:54:58Some pretty crazy things can happen under the moonlight.
1:54:58 > 1:54:59Know what I mean?
1:54:59 > 1:55:04No, not really.
1:55:04 > 1:55:08# Dancing in the moonlight...
1:55:08 > 1:55:10The main thing about the moon is the mystery,
1:55:10 > 1:55:16the wonder, the awe.
1:55:16 > 1:55:19You know how our nearest celestial cousin reminds us of the vastness
1:55:19 > 1:55:22of the universe, and how insignificant we are in it all?
1:55:22 > 1:55:26Knoiw what I mean?
1:55:26 > 1:55:27No, not really.
1:55:27 > 1:55:29So did the clouds break?
1:55:29 > 1:55:29Were we lucky?
1:55:29 > 1:55:32At the critical moment, the moon was obscured.
1:55:32 > 1:55:34Danny was left with a beautiful shot of the refinery.
1:55:34 > 1:55:38This is what it might have looked like if there weren't any clouds.
1:55:38 > 1:55:40But there were, so it didn't.
1:55:40 > 1:55:43We say goodbye as the sun rises.
1:55:43 > 1:55:44Was the night pointless, futile, insignificant?
1:55:44 > 1:55:52I think a lot was learnt.
1:56:03 > 1:56:07Graham with a fantastic sense of humour but no pictures of the moon.
1:56:07 > 1:56:11Good luck if you're trying to take excess of the moon tonight.
1:56:11 > 1:56:16Hopefully you learn something from his report. A good camera, tripod,
1:56:16 > 1:56:17and clear skies.
1:56:17 > 1:59:38Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:59:38 > 1:59:41I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
2:00:13 > 2:00:16Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:00:16 > 2:00:18Theresa May insists she's "not a quitter"
2:00:18 > 2:00:20as she touches down in China.
2:00:20 > 2:00:25After criticism from Conservative MPs,
2:00:25 > 2:00:27the Prime Minister has defended her leadership, saying she's
2:00:27 > 2:00:30in it for the long-haul.
2:00:46 > 2:00:51Good morning. It's 8am, Wednesday, the 31st of January. Also this
2:00:51 > 2:00:51morning.
2:00:51 > 2:00:5440 million Americans watch Donald Trump deliver his first State
2:00:54 > 2:00:56of the Union address as he tackles immigration and the economy.
2:00:56 > 2:00:59This in fact is our new American moment.
2:00:59 > 2:01:04There has never been a better time to start living the American dream.
2:01:04 > 2:01:09The BBC pay row heads to parliament.
2:01:09 > 2:01:12The former China editor Carrie Gracie and the Director General,
2:01:12 > 2:01:17Tony Hall, will face questions from a group of MPs.
2:01:17 > 2:01:21It is a big day the dead limbs, tax return deadline day today, still 1.7
2:01:21 > 2:01:26million forms to be filled in on mine. All you need to know shortly.
2:01:26 > 2:01:28-- it is a big day today.
2:01:28 > 2:01:30Good morning - in sport, it's transfer deadline day.
2:01:30 > 2:01:32The January spending record has already been broken.
2:01:32 > 2:01:38The big question now is will Arsenal be able to secure Aubameyang?
2:01:38 > 2:01:41Hello. Hello.
2:01:41 > 2:01:43Talking through her blowhole.
2:01:43 > 2:01:46We'll find out why scientists have helped Wikie the orca
2:01:46 > 2:01:49to become the world's first speaking whale.
2:01:52 > 2:01:58She can count as well, can't she? And Carol has the weather.Good
2:01:58 > 2:02:02morning. A mild start on the day in the south but that will change. If
2:02:02 > 2:02:06it is still mild where you are, two weather fronts bringing rain across
2:02:06 > 2:02:10Oz, allowing cold air to filter behind. For England and Wales,
2:02:10 > 2:02:13sunshine and showers, whereas for Scotland and northern England and
2:02:13 > 2:02:18Northern Ireland, a mixture of sunny spells but snow showers at lower
2:02:18 > 2:02:22levels and wherever you are today, it will feel cold. More details in
2:02:22 > 2:02:2615 minutes. Thank you. See you later.
2:02:26 > 2:02:28Good morning.
2:02:28 > 2:02:29First, our main story.
2:02:29 > 2:02:31The Prime Minister has responded to a series
2:02:31 > 2:02:33of attacks on her leadership by declaring she's "not a quitter".
2:02:33 > 2:02:37Theresa May told journalists there was a "long-term job to be
2:02:37 > 2:02:39done" and that she was serving her country and party.
2:02:39 > 2:02:41She made the comments before touching down
2:02:41 > 2:02:49in China on a trade mission.
2:02:49 > 2:02:52Responding to criticism from journalist, she said:
2:02:52 > 2:02:54Responding to criticism from journalist, she said:.
2:02:54 > 2:02:56Earlier on Breakfast, Nick Gibb, the Minister
2:02:56 > 2:02:58for School Standards, defended Mrs May and her ability
2:02:58 > 2:03:06to deliver Brexit.
2:03:06 > 2:03:10The Prime Minister, with her stead fast and successful approach to
2:03:10 > 2:03:14government, attention to detail, taking these negotiations
2:03:14 > 2:03:17step-by-step, is the right person to lead the country as we exit the
2:03:17 > 2:03:19European Union.
2:03:19 > 2:03:21Let's speak to our China Correspondent,
2:03:21 > 2:03:25Stephen MacDonnell who is in Beijing for us.
2:03:25 > 2:03:29We know she has had to address her own leadership since arriving in
2:03:29 > 2:03:36China but also a hugely important day in terms of trade deals.
2:03:37 > 2:03:39Absolutely, I'm standing outside the great all of the people where the
2:03:39 > 2:03:43British Prime Minister will be having her meetings today. It will
2:03:43 > 2:03:47start off with a big ceremonial welcome so I guess it is as
2:03:47 > 2:03:51important to China as it is to Britain, this meeting. Despite the
2:03:51 > 2:03:55political pressures at home, the challenge for the Prime Minister is
2:03:55 > 2:04:03going to be to somehow get people to focus on trade. The following press
2:04:03 > 2:04:08pack that is going to be asking her questions as she goes will be
2:04:08 > 2:04:11continually asking the Prime Minister about how much support she
2:04:11 > 2:04:15has back in Britain but her task is to try and build support for a trade
2:04:15 > 2:04:22deal post Brexit. Apart from that, the other things they are talking
2:04:22 > 2:04:26about is what is it that Britain can sell to China at the moment? China
2:04:26 > 2:04:30coming in at number eight in terms of export countries for Britain. The
2:04:30 > 2:04:36British government would like to change that and so education,
2:04:36 > 2:04:39services, you know, automobiles, these are the themes that she will
2:04:39 > 2:04:42be talking about and there's a group of 50 business leaders who have
2:04:42 > 2:04:46accompanied Theresa May on this trip to try to push along those
2:04:46 > 2:04:49industries. They can't start the ball rolling officially on a trade
2:04:49 > 2:04:55deal with China until Brexit actually happens. But as I said, the
2:04:55 > 2:04:59real struggle for her is going to be to focus on this when really, the
2:04:59 > 2:05:05attention still has been, for the visiting press pack, anyway, on her
2:05:05 > 2:05:09political woes at home.While we are listening to you, we can see
2:05:09 > 2:05:11pictures from inside the building behind you of the official ceremony
2:05:11 > 2:05:17going on. One thing we heard earlier, and I suppose this
2:05:17 > 2:05:22statistic shows you the importance and how things can be improved is
2:05:22 > 2:05:24that the UK currently has better trade in terms of figures with a
2:05:24 > 2:05:33country like Belgium than we do with China.That's right. In this day and
2:05:33 > 2:05:37age, it kind of seems ridiculous. China is the big one and many
2:05:37 > 2:05:41countries who has been able to really build their trade
2:05:41 > 2:05:47relationship with China have reaped the benefits of it. I think a lot of
2:05:47 > 2:05:52analysts would say that Britain has been underperforming on this. So the
2:05:52 > 2:05:57British government is going to try to change this. At the moment, where
2:05:57 > 2:06:02the success has been I guess is with universities and automobiles but
2:06:02 > 2:06:06there are other parts of the service industry, especially tourism, where
2:06:06 > 2:06:10the British government would like to really encourage relations between
2:06:10 > 2:06:14the countries. I think China also can see the importance of Britain
2:06:14 > 2:06:18after Brexit as well. That is why they are laying on this big,
2:06:18 > 2:06:22official welcoming ceremony for the British Prime Minister because it is
2:06:22 > 2:06:26a way of saying, "We know we will not have the same entry to Europe as
2:06:26 > 2:06:29we used do with London but it will still be very important, this
2:06:29 > 2:06:33relationship between the two countries post Brexit".Thank you
2:06:33 > 2:06:38for joining us. Live from China this morning and continued coverage of
2:06:38 > 2:06:41Theresa May's trip throughout the BBC News channel today.
2:06:41 > 2:06:43President Trump has said he's taken forward his "righteous
2:06:43 > 2:06:45mission" to make America great again, during his
2:06:45 > 2:06:46first year in office.
2:06:46 > 2:06:48In his first State of the Union address,
2:06:48 > 2:06:50Mr Trump said he'd introduced record tax cuts for everyone,
2:06:50 > 2:06:53the stock market was booming, jobs were being created
2:06:53 > 2:06:54and unemployment was at a record low.
2:06:54 > 2:06:57David Willis reports.
2:06:57 > 2:07:01Mr President, how is the State of the Union?
2:07:01 > 2:07:03The man who spoke just a year ago of American carnage
2:07:03 > 2:07:09was more upbeat tonight.
2:07:09 > 2:07:14Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States.
2:07:14 > 2:07:20Handshakes all around and after a self-congratulatory pat
2:07:20 > 2:07:22on the back for the booming economy, the President called on all
2:07:22 > 2:07:25Americans to seek out common ground.
2:07:25 > 2:07:28This in fact is our new American moment.
2:07:28 > 2:07:34There's never been a better time to start living the American dream.
2:07:34 > 2:07:38Calling on the parents of two teenage girls who were murdered
2:07:38 > 2:07:41by gang members in the country illegally, the president
2:07:41 > 2:07:44turned to the thorny issue of immigration reform.
2:07:44 > 2:07:48He's offering a path to citizenship for illegal immigrants who came
2:07:48 > 2:07:52here as children, in return for tougher border controls.
2:07:52 > 2:07:57So let's come together, set politics aside,
2:07:57 > 2:08:03and finally get the job done.
2:08:03 > 2:08:09The United States was winning the war against Islamic State,
2:08:09 > 2:08:12the President said, but all too often, terrorists had been
2:08:12 > 2:08:13captured and then released.
2:08:13 > 2:08:15Reversing the policy of his predecessor, he pledged
2:08:15 > 2:08:21to keep the military prison at Guantanamo Bay open.
2:08:21 > 2:08:25This first year of office has been a tale of two Trumps,
2:08:25 > 2:08:27both teleprompter Trump and Twitter Trump, and going
2:08:27 > 2:08:31into his second year, the President and his party need
2:08:31 > 2:08:35more of the former and less of the latter, not only to push
2:08:35 > 2:08:37through his controversial legislative agenda but also to
2:08:37 > 2:08:42maintain their majority in Congress.
2:08:42 > 2:08:49David Willis, BBC News, Washington.
2:08:51 > 2:08:53There are renewed calls to fortify flour with folic acid
2:08:53 > 2:08:56in the hope it will help protect babies from common birth defects
2:08:56 > 2:08:57such a spina bifida.
2:08:57 > 2:09:00A new study found higher doses of the vitamin in fresh
2:09:00 > 2:09:02fruit and vegetables does not cause harm as had
2:09:02 > 2:09:03been previously thought.
2:09:03 > 2:09:05The Department of Health in England says it's
2:09:05 > 2:09:07considering the findings whilst Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
2:09:07 > 2:09:15already support the idea.
2:09:17 > 2:09:24Two officials from Hawaii's emergency missile alert system have
2:09:24 > 2:09:32resigned after they. A third man thought to be responsible for the
2:09:32 > 2:09:35message has been fired. An investigation found a combination of
2:09:35 > 2:09:37human error and inadequate safeguards were responsible for the
2:09:37 > 2:09:41problem.
2:09:41 > 2:09:47Let's introduce you to Wikie the whale.
2:09:47 > 2:09:50She has been taught to speak English by scientist trying to learn more
2:09:50 > 2:09:54about how whales communicate in the wild as a way of tracking them and
2:09:54 > 2:09:58protecting them in the wild. Scientist said the ability to learn
2:09:58 > 2:10:01new sound is a sign of intelligent and very rarer among mammals. They
2:10:01 > 2:10:04were keen to learn more about the way killer whales communicate with
2:10:04 > 2:10:08each other, like humans, and they could learn new Daleks by imitating
2:10:08 > 2:10:18sounds. So they taught Wikie some words and they could -- we can have
2:10:18 > 2:10:27a listen.Hello. Hello. One, two, three.
2:10:29 > 2:10:39The hello was quite close. She also learned other words during the
2:10:39 > 2:10:42experiment including goodbye and the name Amy. People are concerned about
2:10:42 > 2:10:46the fact she's in captivity but scientist saying they are trying to
2:10:46 > 2:10:48use that communication technique to see how they communicate with pods
2:10:48 > 2:10:52and hopefully the research will help them further understand how they
2:10:52 > 2:10:58communicate with each other because they are such intelligent animals.
2:10:59 > 2:11:02The BBC is back in the spotlight again today, as it
2:11:02 > 2:11:03faces further scrutiny over gender pay inequality.
2:11:03 > 2:11:05The Director General Tony Hall will give
2:11:05 > 2:11:08evidence to a group of MPs, as will Carrie Gracie, who resigned
2:11:08 > 2:11:11as China Editor in protest at what she described as a "crisis
2:11:11 > 2:11:12of trust" at the corporation.
2:11:12 > 2:11:14Our media editor Amol Rajan is outside
2:11:14 > 2:11:17New Broadcasting House.
2:11:17 > 2:11:22Amol, remind us how we got to this point.
2:11:22 > 2:11:26I remember the conversation in July about how this all started.
2:11:26 > 2:11:34Yes, this all started last summer
2:11:36 > 2:11:38when the BBC had to reveal on-air staff earning more
2:11:38 > 2:11:40than £150,000.
2:11:40 > 2:11:44It revealed the list was dominated by men like Huw Edwards and John
2:11:44 > 2:11:47Humphrys. There was something of an outcry in response because a lot of
2:11:47 > 2:11:51people felt it revealed a major gender pay gap across the
2:11:51 > 2:11:57organisation and a group of women came together, calling themselves
2:11:57 > 2:12:01#BBCWomen, represented by people like Clare Balding, Victoria
2:12:01 > 2:12:06Derbyshire and Jane Garvey, and they made the power of like that it was
2:12:06 > 2:12:09about time women got equal representation across the whole of
2:12:09 > 2:12:13the BBC and the gender pay gap came down but they got equal pay for
2:12:13 > 2:12:15equal work and that latter issue came to the four earlier this month
2:12:15 > 2:12:20when the BBC's China editor Carrie Gracie resigned her post and that
2:12:20 > 2:12:24you would come back to London in protest at unequal pay. Today, in
2:12:24 > 2:12:28front of a committee of MPs in the Commons, both Carrie Gracie herself,
2:12:28 > 2:12:33the former China editor who is still part of the BBC and Tony Hall, the
2:12:33 > 2:12:36director-general and a series of other senior executives will be in
2:12:36 > 2:12:39front of MPs defending the BBC's record of this vexed issue of equal
2:12:39 > 2:12:45pay.They have already talked about it, MPs, in Parliament. What do you
2:12:45 > 2:12:50understand from what they have been telling you about the tone of today?
2:12:50 > 2:12:54I think today is going to be pretty confrontational and spicy. One of
2:12:54 > 2:12:58the things that has already happened is several BBC women, both those who
2:12:58 > 2:13:03are anonymous and some who have been named, have already submitted
2:13:03 > 2:13:07evidence and testimony to the select committee and giving pretty powerful
2:13:07 > 2:13:10accounts over how many years at the BBC, they feel they have not been
2:13:10 > 2:13:13given the same chance as men and it's really important to distinguish
2:13:13 > 2:13:16between the issues, one is the gender pay gap across the whole of
2:13:16 > 2:13:20the organisation where the BBC is doing better than most other
2:13:20 > 2:13:24organisations in Britain. I think the gender pay gap at the BBC is
2:13:24 > 2:13:28about 9.3% against a national average of 18% or 19% and separately
2:13:28 > 2:13:36there's the issue of equal pay for equal work and I think one of the
2:13:36 > 2:13:39key issues MPs will be looking at today is that many women feel they
2:13:39 > 2:13:42have had unequal pay and that is not just about the fact they are getting
2:13:42 > 2:13:44paid less now than other people doing similar jobs, it's the fact
2:13:44 > 2:13:46that over the course of their career, they've accumulated this
2:13:46 > 2:13:49disadvantage because as cosy deals were being done in an earlier era
2:13:49 > 2:13:52and men were getting very generous deals, women were very rarely in the
2:13:52 > 2:13:54room so that I'm today will be pretty confrontational and it will
2:13:54 > 2:13:59look at the past as well as the future. -- the tone today will be
2:13:59 > 2:14:08pretty confrontational.There have been reviews since July.
2:14:08 > 2:14:10been reviews since July. We can hear what Tony Hall had to say to you
2:14:10 > 2:14:13now.I believe that some men have been paid too much. There's no doubt
2:14:13 > 2:14:16about that. I can only really talk about the last nearly five years,
2:14:16 > 2:14:20being back at the BBC. I don't know what went on before. Whatbut you
2:14:20 > 2:14:25are directed before.But that was 20 odd years ago.Exactly, these
2:14:25 > 2:14:31problems are 20 years old.But the issues we're dealing with now is how
2:14:31 > 2:14:34we make sure women's voices can be heard and I believe the package of
2:14:34 > 2:14:38measures I've put out today will enable women's voices to be heard.
2:14:38 > 2:14:42We heard clearly you were talking about the problem going back some 20
2:14:42 > 2:14:48years or so. How do you think this will play out for the BBC?
2:14:48 > 2:14:54Yesterday, Tony Hall released a report by PwC, the auditors, saying
2:14:54 > 2:15:00he is looking at the issue of gender pay and he released a 5-point plan,
2:15:00 > 2:15:03saying he would have more transparency, he was going to say
2:15:03 > 2:15:06there would be more aggressive moves towards gender equality on screen
2:15:06 > 2:15:10and off by 2020 and there's a feeling he's doing more than some of
2:15:10 > 2:15:17his predecessors...That was Amol Rajan. I think he was going to say
2:15:17 > 2:15:22"More than some of his predecessors".He was doing a good
2:15:22 > 2:15:26job explaining.Tony Hall and Carrie Gracie will give evidence in front
2:15:26 > 2:15:29of MPs at the select committee later today.
2:15:29 > 2:15:32And as we were saying with the Theresa May story in China, plenty
2:15:32 > 2:15:36more coverage on the BBC News channel and on the website and
2:15:36 > 2:15:44across Radio 4, and BBC radio five live.
2:15:44 > 2:15:59And quarter past eight, and Sean is here.
2:15:59 > 2:16:03here. He can take you through some of the details about this dreaded
2:16:03 > 2:16:04tax return.
2:16:04 > 2:16:05Good morning.
2:16:05 > 2:16:08The dreaded tax return is something that applies to almost
2:16:08 > 2:16:1012 million people.
2:16:10 > 2:16:11We've had an update from the HMRC this morning,
2:16:11 > 2:16:13and in spite of knowing it's been coming for a year
2:16:13 > 2:16:16there are 1.7 million tax returns outstanding as of this morning.
2:16:16 > 2:16:24So what should you be doing today if you've not got round to it yet?
2:16:25 > 2:16:27You've got til midnight tonight - the big thing -
2:16:27 > 2:16:29only if you can do it online.
2:16:29 > 2:16:31That's what 90% of self-employed or contractors do.
2:16:31 > 2:16:36If you were going for an old-fashioned paper
2:16:36 > 2:16:39submission, I'm afraid you're out of time.
2:16:39 > 2:16:42The other sting in the tail today is the fact that it is no longer
2:16:42 > 2:16:50possible to pay tax by credit card or via the Post Office -
2:16:50 > 2:16:52which you might have done before.
2:16:52 > 2:16:54HMRC has been running an awareness campaign on that.
2:16:54 > 2:16:55It's worth getting your skates on -
2:16:55 > 2:16:58there's a £100 fine for late filing, and that goes up after three
2:16:58 > 2:17:02months to penalties of £10 a day.
2:17:02 > 2:17:08A bit painful so make sure you get those into night.
2:17:08 > 2:17:11A bit painful so make sure you get those in tonight.
2:17:11 > 2:17:13From next year that system will change to a new
2:17:13 > 2:17:15points-based system - a little like speeding fines,
2:17:15 > 2:17:16clocking up for serial offenders.
2:17:16 > 2:17:19I am sure we will be here in a year's time explaining all of that.
2:17:19 > 2:17:25A bit of breaking news as well. We spoke about the collapse of
2:17:25 > 2:17:28Carillion, and the services they had being service provider to the
2:17:28 > 2:17:33Government, and
2:17:33 > 2:17:37Government, and another one, Capita, profits down 30%, Ashya warning.
2:17:37 > 2:17:42Problems within the company, cash flow, how it is setup, all that of
2:17:42 > 2:17:49thing -- share warning. It clearly shows there are issues in that
2:17:49 > 2:17:53sector. We will probably have more on that in the coming days.Thank
2:17:53 > 2:17:59you for that. It is 70 minutes past eight.
2:17:59 > 2:18:07It is 17 minutes past eight.
2:18:09 > 2:18:11There are renewed calls to fortify flour with folic acid
2:18:11 > 2:18:14in the hope it will help protect babies from common birth defects
2:18:14 > 2:18:15such a spina bifida.
2:18:15 > 2:18:18A new study found higher doses of the vitamin in fresh
2:18:18 > 2:18:20fruit and vegetables does not cause harm as had
2:18:20 > 2:18:21been previously thought.
2:18:21 > 2:18:23The Department of Health in England says it's
2:18:23 > 2:18:25considering the findings whilst Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland
2:18:25 > 2:18:29already support the idea.
2:18:29 > 2:18:31Scientists are calling on the Government to add
2:18:31 > 2:18:33folic acid to flour, in the hope it will help lower
2:18:33 > 2:18:35the number of children born with birth defects such
2:18:35 > 2:18:36as spina bifida.
2:18:36 > 2:18:39In a moment we will hear more about its benefits, but first,
2:18:39 > 2:18:42we asked a group of mothers what they knew about folic acid.
2:18:42 > 2:18:44I don't remember even taking it.
2:18:44 > 2:18:46I didn't know much about it to be honest.
2:18:46 > 2:18:49With my five-year-old, once I found out I was pregnant, I took
2:18:49 > 2:18:51it but I didn't even know you could take it before.
2:18:51 > 2:18:54I think I took it all the way through my first
2:18:54 > 2:18:55pregnancy.
2:18:55 > 2:18:57My second pregnancy, maybe not so much.
2:18:57 > 2:19:00I did take it but I don't think I managed to maintain
2:19:00 > 2:19:03it throughout the pregnancy and in my third pregnancy, I think I had
2:19:03 > 2:19:06one packet and when that ran out, I was kind of done.
2:19:06 > 2:19:08We didn't really know that we needed to take it.
2:19:08 > 2:19:12I guess as soon as we found out we were pregnant, we went to the
2:19:12 > 2:19:14doctor, as you do, to kind of say, "I'm pregnant", and they
2:19:14 > 2:19:16tell you all the sort of important information.
2:19:16 > 2:19:19So that's when they said, "You need to start taking
2:19:19 > 2:19:22folic acid", and that's when we kind of just got started on it, really.
2:19:22 > 2:19:25Have a look at our little people. We have various items of food we can
2:19:25 > 2:19:29show you which are high in folic, and we will explain what that means.
2:19:29 > 2:19:29Ursula Philpot is a consultant dietician
2:19:29 > 2:19:31at Leeds Beckett University and she joins us now.
2:19:31 > 2:19:34So tell us, what is the difference between these foods and folic
2:19:34 > 2:19:36accident?It is a naturally occurring vitamin, Vitamin B9,
2:19:36 > 2:19:43absolutely essential in the early stages of pregnancy. So we recommend
2:19:43 > 2:19:48women to also take a supplement, a synthetic form.The problem with
2:19:48 > 2:19:54that is some people might not know, for example, they are pregnant until
2:19:54 > 2:19:58a few weeks in, so is that why scientists and dieticians would like
2:19:58 > 2:20:05it to be added?Absolutely. At the moment the advice is to take a 400
2:20:05 > 2:20:09micrograms supplement of folic acid because it is quite ethical to get
2:20:09 > 2:20:12that in your diet unless you are really conscious of what you eat
2:20:12 > 2:20:16every day but we need women to have that supplement at conception and
2:20:16 > 2:20:20within the first 28 days, so actually what we need people to do
2:20:20 > 2:20:25is take the folic acid supplement before they get pregnant, but of
2:20:25 > 2:20:29course so many pregnancies are unplanned that in 75% of cases women
2:20:29 > 2:20:32don't take it and don't take the right doors at the right time which
2:20:32 > 2:20:37is why there is this campaign to put folic acid into flour.I didn't
2:20:37 > 2:20:43realise. I was reading this morning, 81 countries around the world
2:20:43 > 2:20:50already fortified their flour, so why is there a this Ricky Lutton is
2:20:50 > 2:20:54-- why is there a reluctance to do it?There has always been a small
2:20:54 > 2:20:57amount of evidence looking at potential harm for a small group of
2:20:57 > 2:21:01people but actually the study out today, which looks at the higher
2:21:01 > 2:21:08dose, at 1000 micrograms of folic acid, the every analysed and we
2:21:08 > 2:21:13looked at the original data and the survey and said it is actually
2:21:13 > 2:21:17pretty poor quality and there is not enough evidence to suggest the
2:21:17 > 2:21:21higher dose would harm you, so that is a game changer.If you put it in
2:21:21 > 2:21:26flour, it presupposes you will have a product with that in it?It does,
2:21:26 > 2:21:31and obviously there are plenty of people who avoid flour...For
2:21:31 > 2:21:36separate reasons, yes.But if you look at the pregnancy is highest in
2:21:36 > 2:21:41which is the result of not having folic acid in the diet, they tend to
2:21:41 > 2:21:45be in a lower income or food poverty areas, and when we look at the diets
2:21:45 > 2:21:49of people on lower incomes, white bread, it is an absolute staple
2:21:49 > 2:21:56because it is cheap and selling, so putting folic acid into things like
2:21:56 > 2:21:59white flour and white bread, it will bring people's levels to the amount
2:21:59 > 2:22:04we hope. Some of the defect.I suppose cost is an issue as well.
2:22:04 > 2:22:08How much would it cost manufacturers to do this? Will it impact on what
2:22:08 > 2:22:12you actually pay for the product? What the Department of Health have
2:22:12 > 2:22:17said is it will be at a minimal cost, a tiny cost. If you think
2:22:17 > 2:22:23about the cost to the health service of terminations of pregnancy is,
2:22:23 > 2:22:27babies who are, you know, disabled, the cost of adding a tiny food
2:22:27 > 2:22:32supplement to flour is quite minimal, looking at the cost benefit
2:22:32 > 2:22:36analysis.Presumably if it is in the flour everybody will be having it,
2:22:36 > 2:22:40so does it have effects on the wider population, or not?Absolutely, it
2:22:40 > 2:22:48does. Folate in these foods, it has some beneficial effects, in terms of
2:22:48 > 2:22:52cognitive function, depression, and also some of the cancers, so
2:22:52 > 2:22:57hopefully it will have wider health benefits as well as those particular
2:22:57 > 2:23:01people involved, and the level the Government are proposing to
2:23:01 > 2:23:05supplement it in flour, you know, it should be way under any potential
2:23:05 > 2:23:11dose of harm. The studies looking at the harm doses were over 1000
2:23:11 > 2:23:16micrograms. The supplemented flour will be something like 140
2:23:16 > 2:23:19micrograms per hundred grams, so it is a very low dose compared to any
2:23:19 > 2:23:26potential harm.Fascinating. When Mike it happen?We wanted to happen
2:23:26 > 2:23:31sooner rather than later, yes. But until that I have to stress the
2:23:31 > 2:23:36advice to pregnant women is still to take your 400 micrograms of folic
2:23:36 > 2:23:41acid and get it in as soon as you possibly can when you're pregnant.
2:23:41 > 2:23:46Thank you very much. I might have a broccoli sandwich for lunch! I
2:23:46 > 2:23:51actually love raw broccoli. Well, you can take it away with you. Well,
2:23:51 > 2:23:56anyway, someone pulled the plug on Amol Rajan earlier on, but Carol is
2:23:56 > 2:24:03here with the weather.
2:24:03 > 2:24:06here with the weather. The forecast for most of us is cold wind with
2:24:06 > 2:24:10wintry showers. Currently we have Lane crossing England and Wales and
2:24:10 > 2:24:11behind that the cold it will filter
2:24:11 > 2:24:12Lane crossing England and Wales and behind that the cold it will filter
2:24:12 > 2:24:16and where the temperatures are not as low at the moment. Nine o'clock
2:24:16 > 2:24:20across Scotland, we continue with the wintry showers. Not far away
2:24:20 > 2:24:24from Fort William, four centimetres of flying Snow, and in between the
2:24:24 > 2:24:28showers some bright skies but it will feel cold. Then a very similar
2:24:28 > 2:24:37story across England. Showers, particularly across the
2:24:37 > 2:24:39particularly across the Pennines, and currently two bands of rain
2:24:39 > 2:24:40heading southwards, making good progress and moving quite quickly
2:24:40 > 2:24:44and as the clear winner from the south coast behind then we return to
2:24:44 > 2:24:45drier conditions, some sunny spells but still some showers. The showers
2:24:45 > 2:24:49and the rest of England and Wales, away from the north, are really
2:24:49 > 2:24:52going to be of rain. You might see some sleet or hail in the heavier
2:24:52 > 2:24:57ones but that really will be about it. For Northern Ireland, different
2:24:57 > 2:25:02story. Snow showers and again we will see them at lower levels but
2:25:02 > 2:25:06the accumulations will mostly be on the hills and in between there will
2:25:06 > 2:25:09be bright or sunny skies. Through the rest of the day we carry on with
2:25:09 > 2:25:12the snow showers across parts of Scotland, Northern England and also
2:25:12 > 2:25:16Northern Ireland. Don't forget, there will be some bright skies in
2:25:16 > 2:25:20between the showers and for the rest of the UK it will be a dry day, some
2:25:20 > 2:25:27sunshine and rain showers. You can see a pen on my chart for the
2:25:27 > 2:25:32temperature in London and that has already happened. -- you can see a
2:25:32 > 2:25:38ten. Most of us will be looking at a range between 4-8. The wind will
2:25:38 > 2:25:41strengthen tonight particularly across the North and north-east of
2:25:41 > 2:25:46Scotland. Looking at Gailes and even severe gales with exposure. In the
2:25:46 > 2:25:50south we will see some snow showers as well. In terms of temperature as
2:25:50 > 2:25:54it will feel cold whatever way you look at it. Those temperatures are
2:25:54 > 2:25:58indicative of towns and cities and they will be colder and lower in
2:25:58 > 2:26:03rural areas. Tomorrow there is the risk of ice on untreated services
2:26:03 > 2:26:10but tomorrow a lot of dry weather around, some of us seeing pleasant
2:26:10 > 2:26:13winter sunshine. A keen wind, looking at gales north and
2:26:13 > 2:26:18north-west of Scotland with exposure. By Friday, a ridge of high
2:26:18 > 2:26:22pressure builds across us, settling things don't quite nicely. Once
2:26:22 > 2:26:26again there will be a fair bit of sunshine around. But there will
2:26:26 > 2:26:29still be showers down the east coast and that is where we have the wind
2:26:29 > 2:26:33and most will be of rain. Heads up for the weekend, it looks like we
2:26:33 > 2:26:37have weather fronts crossing us bringing in some rain and ahead of
2:26:37 > 2:26:41them and behind then there is cold air and as they engage with that
2:26:41 > 2:26:44that is the chance some of us could see some snow, but that might
2:26:44 > 2:26:48change. Stay in touch with the weather forecast.
2:26:48 > 2:26:53STUDIO: Will do. It looks a bit wetter there this morning. Carol,
2:26:53 > 2:26:57thank you very much. Perfectly timed, and a biker getting in the
2:26:57 > 2:27:01shot as well! Talking about perfect timing, we are on time this morning.
2:27:01 > 2:30:218:26am!
2:30:21 > 2:30:23Now though it's back to Dan and Louise.
2:30:23 > 2:30:28Bye for now.
2:30:28 > 2:30:36Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:30:36 > 2:30:39Let's bring you up-to-date with some of the main stories around on this
2:30:39 > 2:30:42Wednesday morning.
2:30:42 > 2:30:47The Prime Minister has responded to days of attacks
2:30:47 > 2:30:49on her leadership, by declaring she's "not a quitter".
2:30:49 > 2:30:53Theresa May told journalists there was a "long term job to be
2:30:53 > 2:30:55done", and that she was serving her country and party.
2:30:55 > 2:30:57She made the comments to journalists as she arrived
2:30:57 > 2:30:59in China on a trade mission.
2:30:59 > 2:31:01Mrs May is there hoping to strengthen relations
2:31:01 > 2:31:04with Beijing, but said she wouldn't shy away from the difficult issues.
2:31:04 > 2:31:05Earlier on Breakfast, Nick Gibb, the Minister
2:31:05 > 2:31:07for School Standards defended Mrs May, her leadership
2:31:07 > 2:31:09and her ability to deliver Brexit.
2:31:09 > 2:31:10She's a very steadfast and strong leader.
2:31:10 > 2:31:12She's negotiating the exit of the United Kingdom
2:31:12 > 2:31:17from the European Union.
2:31:17 > 2:31:20We've taken the first stage of the Bill through the House
2:31:20 > 2:31:21of Commons successfully with a majority of 29,
2:31:21 > 2:31:24and we've completed the first stage of the EU exit negotiations
2:31:24 > 2:31:25with the European Union.
2:31:25 > 2:31:28She's the best leader to unite our party and to take
2:31:28 > 2:31:31Britain out of the European Union in these very difficult times.
2:31:31 > 2:31:34President Trump has said he's taken forward his "righteous mission"
2:31:34 > 2:31:38to make America great again, during his first year in office.
2:31:38 > 2:31:43In his first State of the Union address, Mr Trump said he'd
2:31:43 > 2:31:45introduced record tax cuts for everyone, the stock
2:31:45 > 2:31:47market was booming, jobs were being created and unemployment
2:31:47 > 2:31:55was at a record low.
2:31:55 > 2:32:00The firm behind welfare assessments and the London congestion charge has
2:32:00 > 2:32:05issued a profits warning this morning. If this significant?What's
2:32:05 > 2:32:10changed in the last half an hour was that the share price in Capita fell
2:32:10 > 2:32:17by more than 30%, fell by one third. That's a sign of investors saying we
2:32:17 > 2:32:21weren't expecting this and there are concerns about the money the company
2:32:21 > 2:32:27might make going forward. Obviously in the light of Carillion, Capita
2:32:27 > 2:32:31provides similar services to the government. It doesn't do as much of
2:32:31 > 2:32:36the building of construction of buildings as Carillion did, but it
2:32:36 > 2:32:40does provide a lot of services to the government. A lot of people will
2:32:40 > 2:32:45be looking at the industry and thinking what is going wrong. Is it
2:32:45 > 2:32:48individual companies having issues, are they all the same issues? The
2:32:48 > 2:32:53chief executive of Capita who's only been there a couple of months, the
2:32:53 > 2:32:57idea is to turn around the business. He says the company has become too
2:32:57 > 2:33:01complex, driven by a short-term focus. Some of those other
2:33:01 > 2:33:06criticisms we heard about Carillion as well. He's saying we aren't going
2:33:06 > 2:33:10to pay a dividend to shareholders which again was another criticism of
2:33:10 > 2:33:13Carillion. They are trying to keep as much cash in the business as they
2:33:13 > 2:33:19can, restructure. Workers at Capita and the outsourcing companies it's
2:33:19 > 2:33:24an interesting time to keep an eye on the coming months because there's
2:33:24 > 2:33:28a lot of shaking up being done in that sector.Thank you.
2:33:28 > 2:33:31The director-general of the BBC, Tony Hall, will appear before MPs
2:33:31 > 2:33:33today as the corporation faces further scrutiny over equal pay.
2:33:33 > 2:33:35The BBC's former China editor Carrie Gracie,
2:33:35 > 2:33:37who resigned from her role in protest at inequalities,
2:33:37 > 2:33:40will also appear before the Digital, Culture, Media and Sport Committee.
2:33:40 > 2:33:43It comes a day after an auditor's report found there was no gender
2:33:43 > 2:33:51bias at the corporation.
2:33:53 > 2:33:55Two officials from Hawaii's Emergency Management Agency have
2:33:55 > 2:33:58resigned after a ballistic missile alert was sent in error.
2:33:58 > 2:34:00It took the authorities 38 minutes to correct the message which caused
2:34:00 > 2:34:03widespread panic across the island earlier this month.
2:34:03 > 2:34:05A third man thought to be responsible for
2:34:05 > 2:34:09the message has been fired.
2:34:09 > 2:34:11An investigation found a combination of human error and inadequate
2:34:11 > 2:34:18safeguards were responsible.
2:34:18 > 2:34:22That brings you up to date.
2:34:22 > 2:34:25Carol will tell you what's happening with the weather in ten minutes.
2:34:25 > 2:34:26Here's what's coming up.
2:34:26 > 2:34:29It's not been seen in the sky at night for more than a 100 years,
2:34:29 > 2:34:32but stargazers will be hoping to get a glimpse of a super blue
2:34:32 > 2:34:33blood moon this evening.
2:34:33 > 2:34:35Find out how our very own Graham Satchell got
2:34:35 > 2:34:39on when we gave him the challenge of capturing it on
2:34:39 > 2:34:43camera for posterity.
2:34:43 > 2:34:47It didn't go well!
2:34:47 > 2:34:50Poet and novelist Helen Dunmore has won the Costa Book of the Year Award
2:34:50 > 2:34:53for a collection of poetry written in the final weeks of her life.
2:34:53 > 2:34:56We'll speak to her daughter about the work and why she thinks
2:34:56 > 2:34:59it is positive despite it dealing with her Mum's cancer diagnosis
2:34:59 > 2:35:01and impending death.
2:35:01 > 2:35:03The historic disappearance of a girl from a small Welsh village
2:35:03 > 2:35:07is the subject of the BBC's new drama Requiem.
2:35:07 > 2:35:10We'll speak to the show's star, Lydia Wilson to find out why
2:35:10 > 2:35:17the supernatural thriller could leave you feeling spooked.
2:35:20 > 2:35:24I've heard there's one review in the papers that says it's the most
2:35:24 > 2:35:28terrifying drama that's ever been made-for-TV.It's properly scary.
2:35:28 > 2:35:34Yes, it's one of those right behind the sofa!I turn the music down. I
2:35:34 > 2:35:39don't know how that's helping me... If you watch it without the music
2:35:39 > 2:35:42you're nowhere near as scared but it's properly edge of the seat
2:35:42 > 2:35:45stuff.
2:35:45 > 2:35:53But first let's get the sport with Sonali.
2:35:53 > 2:35:58It is transfer deadline day. The deadline is 11p with English clubs
2:35:58 > 2:36:01and midnight with Scottish clubs. The January spend for the Premier
2:36:01 > 2:36:04League has already surpassed the January record, more than £250
2:36:04 > 2:36:08million.
2:36:08 > 2:36:12Let's have a look at some of the key deals that have been done
2:36:12 > 2:36:13and could be done today.
2:36:13 > 2:36:15One transfer already sorted is defender Aymeric Larporte's
2:36:15 > 2:36:17move to Manchester City.
2:36:17 > 2:36:21The Premier League leaders have signed the Frenchman for a club
2:36:21 > 2:36:24record fee of £57 million - which makes him the second most
2:36:24 > 2:36:25expensive defender in history.
2:36:25 > 2:36:28I'd say this is the most talked about transfer this window -
2:36:28 > 2:36:32and one that is expected to go down to the wire - Arsenal's bid
2:36:32 > 2:36:34for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang from Borussia Dortmund.
2:36:34 > 2:36:37The striker has a medical scheduled for this morning,
2:36:37 > 2:36:39but the deal is dependent on the German side finding
2:36:39 > 2:36:44a suitable replacement.
2:36:44 > 2:36:46Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud may have the biggest say
2:36:46 > 2:36:50in whether the deal is completed - he was lined up as part of the deal
2:36:50 > 2:36:53to replace Aubameyang at Dortmund but would prefer to stay in London,
2:36:53 > 2:37:01and was more attracted to an offer from Chelsea instead.
2:37:02 > 2:37:05That would free up Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi to move to Dortmund
2:37:05 > 2:37:13as a replacement for Aubameyang.
2:37:13 > 2:37:19So three players are involved at the moment in this triangle.I love
2:37:19 > 2:37:29those graphics, they are brilliant. The other one to look out for is
2:37:29 > 2:37:34Riyad Mahrez. Manchester City have put in a bid of £50 million we think
2:37:34 > 2:37:41but that is nowhere near Leicester's valuation.
2:37:47 > 2:37:52Before I go, I just want to show you some pictures from last night's
2:37:52 > 2:37:56Huddersfield/Liverpool match, keep your eye on the young Liverpool
2:37:56 > 2:38:01Liverpool fan with his dad.
2:38:01 > 2:38:03Missing the first goal was his dad's fault,
2:38:03 > 2:38:04but then this happens.
2:38:04 > 2:38:13He missed two goals! Has that ever happened to you?In the Germany
2:38:13 > 2:38:19Brazil game at the World Cup, my friend went to the toilet, got a
2:38:19 > 2:38:26burger and came back and had missed four goals!LAUGHTER Normally they
2:38:26 > 2:38:30had screens up...It was a nine hour bus journey to get to the game,
2:38:30 > 2:38:35there and back.I hope it was a good burger!
2:38:35 > 2:38:39The UK will have to get the right deal from the EU if it wants
2:38:39 > 2:38:41to maintain its leading security role in Europe, that's
2:38:41 > 2:38:43according to the head of the law enforcement agency,
2:38:43 > 2:38:44Europol.
2:38:44 > 2:38:47Our correspondent, June Kelly has been looking at the changes our
2:38:47 > 2:38:49security services will have to make after Brexit.
2:38:49 > 2:38:51Every year, a quarter of a million lorries and over
2:38:51 > 2:38:532 million passengers travel through Portsmouth, coming
2:38:53 > 2:38:57and going to Europe.
2:38:57 > 2:38:59And here, there is concern that after Brexit, possible
2:38:59 > 2:39:03stricter security could slow down freight traffic.
2:39:03 > 2:39:05Have your documents ready...
2:39:05 > 2:39:09At Heathrow, like all UK airports, British and European travellers
2:39:09 > 2:39:14with their burgundy EU passports go through the same channel.
2:39:14 > 2:39:15Where have you flown in from?
2:39:15 > 2:39:18Amsterdam.
2:39:18 > 2:39:20But for security and immigration reasons, might this be different
2:39:20 > 2:39:28once the UK leads the EU?
2:39:29 > 2:39:30--once the UK leaves the EU?
2:39:30 > 2:39:32Post-Brexit we could see changes when we come
2:39:32 > 2:39:33through places like this.
2:39:33 > 2:39:35The government hasn't yet shared its position
2:39:35 > 2:39:38on what could happen at ports and airports.
2:39:38 > 2:39:41But when it comes to keeping the country safe, it has set
2:39:41 > 2:39:43out its views on big issues like security, law enforcement
2:39:43 > 2:39:45and criminal justice.
2:39:45 > 2:39:46Stand clear!
2:39:46 > 2:39:48These UK raids were part of a typical European operation,
2:39:48 > 2:39:49targeting a suspected people smuggling gang.
2:39:49 > 2:39:57There were also arrests in Belgium and Bulgaria.
2:39:59 > 2:40:01The UK is a leading member of Europol, Europe's
2:40:01 > 2:40:03law enforcement agency.
2:40:03 > 2:40:06When Britain exits the EU, it will have to give up its membership.
2:40:06 > 2:40:09Ministers say they want to negotiate a deal which will allow
2:40:09 > 2:40:12the UK to keep working closely with Europol.
2:40:12 > 2:40:15But is this a realistic option?
2:40:15 > 2:40:23We haven't had a member state leave the EU before,
2:40:24 > 2:40:26so in that sense I suppose we are already in
2:40:26 > 2:40:27unchartered waters.
2:40:27 > 2:40:29Every day there's a police operation here affecting
2:40:29 > 2:40:31Britain in a positive way, that Europol is helping with.
2:40:31 > 2:40:34The essence of that I think will continue, but of course it
2:40:34 > 2:40:36depends on getting the right deal.
2:40:36 > 2:40:38The UK and EU countries share information on criminal records,
2:40:38 > 2:40:40fingerprints and DNA, and tracking suspects
2:40:40 > 2:40:48across borders.
2:40:49 > 2:40:52Member states are also signed up to the European arrest warrant.
2:40:52 > 2:40:55The British authorities have used the arrest warrant to have wanted
2:40:55 > 2:41:00people sent back to the UK from other parts of Europe.
2:41:00 > 2:41:05Hussain Osman, one of the failed 21-7 bombers, is one of scores
2:41:05 > 2:41:08of suspects extradited to the UK to stand trial, and Britain has sent
2:41:08 > 2:41:12back thousands more the other way.
2:41:12 > 2:41:17The UK says it wants to keep the arrest warrant system
2:41:17 > 2:41:19and continue to share data as part of a new security
2:41:19 > 2:41:21treaty with the EU.
2:41:21 > 2:41:24We set out our stall back in September saying look,
2:41:24 > 2:41:32this is what we want to do, and the European Council have
2:41:34 > 2:41:36formally said that they're open to negotiating this
2:41:36 > 2:41:37type of partnership.
2:41:37 > 2:41:39That matters.
2:41:39 > 2:41:42But also the informal conversations we've had with individual member
2:41:42 > 2:41:45states have made it very clear to us that our partners in Europe
2:41:45 > 2:41:47are very keen for this kind of cooperation to continue.
2:41:47 > 2:41:49Britain is quitting the EU, it's not leaving Europe.
2:41:49 > 2:41:52This is the mantra from ministers.
2:41:52 > 2:41:54With security, their ambition is to retain the status quo.
2:41:54 > 2:41:57But this will depend on all the UK's partners across the Channel.
2:41:57 > 2:42:03June Kelly, BBC News.
2:42:03 > 2:42:05Breakfast's John Maguire is at Portsmouth International Ferry
2:42:05 > 2:42:07Terminal this morning, where around 400 lorries come
2:42:07 > 2:42:14in and out of the UK each day.
2:42:14 > 2:42:20It's looking quiet at the moment but I imagine there are very busy times.
2:42:20 > 2:42:25Good morning. Can you imagine this place in the summer? It would be
2:42:25 > 2:42:29absolutely heaving. The massive car park would be full of cars. 2
2:42:29 > 2:42:33million passengers a year ago across the Channel from Portsmouth, a
2:42:33 > 2:42:37quarter of a million lorries. Even at this time of year, I'm just
2:42:37 > 2:42:40looking at some of the arrivals and departures to northern Spain,
2:42:40 > 2:42:44northern France and the Channel Islands. It's a very, very important
2:42:44 > 2:42:48port, second only to Dover Calais. Interesting hearing June talking
2:42:48 > 2:42:56about her report about Britain leaving the EU but not Europe. You
2:42:56 > 2:42:59almost feel you can see Europe on the other side, which of course you
2:42:59 > 2:43:05can when you stand in Dover. We've assembled three expert guests. Donna
2:43:05 > 2:43:09Jones, council leader of the City Council, Doctor Peter Lee from
2:43:09 > 2:43:13University of Portsmouth and Joad Weinman from YouGov with some very
2:43:13 > 2:43:19interesting polling results. We can see how busy even at this time of
2:43:19 > 2:43:24year the port is. That's the banana boat, famously you bring in 70% of
2:43:24 > 2:43:28the UK's bananas. What are your considerations, concerns and
2:43:28 > 2:43:35challenges for life praised Brexit? Portsmouth is the largest owned
2:43:35 > 2:43:39municipal port in the country. And the second busiest cross-channel
2:43:39 > 2:43:43ferry route. For us as owners of a ferry port in Portsmouth, is about
2:43:43 > 2:43:48making sure that when freight arrives in the UK, and 90% of what
2:43:48 > 2:43:53comes through is produce. It's fish, bananas, fruit. It's important we
2:43:53 > 2:43:58get it out of the ferry port, through the freight channels and off
2:43:58 > 2:44:02to supermarkets or wherever it's going. When Britain is operating
2:44:02 > 2:44:06outside of the EU, we need to be working with the Department of
2:44:06 > 2:44:11exiting the EU closely to make sure that freight is able
2:44:11 > 2:44:15Quickly. If it's not and there are one in three freight being checked,
2:44:15 > 2:44:20we need to make sure we have adequate provision for supergiant
2:44:20 > 2:44:25Laurie car parks. We just need to know in advance to get the
2:44:25 > 2:44:33practicalities sorted out.When we are talking about some of the
2:44:33 > 2:44:36security arrangements and relationships we have, we have lots
2:44:36 > 2:44:39within Europe. We also have lots of important ones without Europe.
2:44:39 > 2:44:44Exactly. When we look at today's Europol announcement, it has to be
2:44:44 > 2:44:48put in the context of global security. While we need to think
2:44:48 > 2:44:53about looking after imports and whatever is coming in and out of the
2:44:53 > 2:44:58country, our main defence relies upon Nato. We have to face cyber
2:44:58 > 2:45:03threats. I've got colleagues working on water security and food security
2:45:03 > 2:45:11in different parts of the world. The NATO- EU relationship should be seen
2:45:11 > 2:45:15in a broader context. I think if we do that then we'll keep it in
2:45:15 > 2:45:22proportion and perhaps not be too anxious about it.
2:45:26 > 2:45:30anxious about it.I wonder if people are thinking about borders and
2:45:30 > 2:45:34security when they went into the polling booths 18 months ago?18
2:45:34 > 2:45:37months ago, if you thought national security was more important than the
2:45:37 > 2:45:42economy is an issue, it was almost certainly would vote to leave. But
2:45:42 > 2:45:46in terms of its relative importance in the negotiations, it comes about
2:45:46 > 2:45:50in the middle. If you are a remain you would prioritise things like the
2:45:50 > 2:45:58economy and trade over borders. If you want to leave the EU, you would
2:45:58 > 2:46:02prize things like sovereignty and immigration, so it is kind of in the
2:46:02 > 2:46:08middle.What are attitudes like now? New research shows that half of
2:46:08 > 2:46:12people actually think national security will not be affected by us
2:46:12 > 2:46:16leaving.Folks, thank you very much for talking to us. Fascinating. The
2:46:16 > 2:46:20key thing to take away from this morning is to always remember that
2:46:20 > 2:46:24all of these things are interconnected as with so much when
2:46:24 > 2:46:30one considers Brexit negotiations, trade, border, security, all join
2:46:30 > 2:46:33together so those complex negotiations will need to consider
2:46:33 > 2:46:38those factors as we await the days, months, weeks ahead. Absolutely.
2:46:38 > 2:46:39Thank you very much.
2:46:39 > 2:46:42And there will be more coverage on the issue of security and Brexit
2:46:42 > 2:46:45across BBC News and the BBC News channel today.
2:46:46 > 2:46:50Carol has the weather for us this morning.
2:46:50 > 2:46:55Very windy this morning. And you were saying earlier, not quite as
2:46:55 > 2:46:59cold in the southern part zinc -- of England as other areas of the UK.
2:47:02 > 2:47:07That was right this morning but it has changed. We have two weather
2:47:07 > 2:47:09fronts crossing England and Wales behind the first one the temperature
2:47:09 > 2:47:12dropped in the south and is the second one clears it will drop
2:47:12 > 2:47:16further so we have already had the maximum temperature we are likely to
2:47:16 > 2:47:19seek across southern England and South Wales. But the forecast for
2:47:19 > 2:47:23all of us today is one of a cold wind and you will notice it if you
2:47:23 > 2:47:26are out and about and also wintry showers. We have had back
2:47:26 > 2:47:33combination already with snow in Northern Ireland and Scotland, and
2:47:33 > 2:47:36that the moment in Tulloch Bridge near Fort William we have four
2:47:36 > 2:47:42centimetres of snow, and two centimetres in Edinburgh but not
2:47:42 > 2:47:45snowing everywhere. Wheels have snow showers across northern England and
2:47:45 > 2:47:50we won't see them all -- we also have. There will be a lot of bright
2:47:50 > 2:47:54weather and dry weather but it will feel cold. With the two bands of
2:47:54 > 2:47:58rain, they push into the English Channel and behind them we are into
2:47:58 > 2:48:02a mixture of Brate spells, sunny spells and showers. For most of
2:48:02 > 2:48:07England, and for Wales, the showers will mostly be rain, but in some of
2:48:07 > 2:48:11the heavier ones you might see sleet or hail. In Northern Ireland, snow
2:48:11 > 2:48:17for you, snow showers again and any accumulation will be in the hills or
2:48:17 > 2:48:21the mountains. Through the course of the day, it will be noticeably
2:48:21 > 2:48:26windy. Cold wind, coming from the Arctic so it will feel cold against
2:48:26 > 2:48:30your skin, colder than the temperatures I will show you. Still
2:48:30 > 2:48:34wintry showers across northern England, Scotland and Northern
2:48:34 > 2:48:37Ireland and rain showers further south but bright skies and sunny
2:48:37 > 2:48:42spells. Temperatures this afternoon, ten in London but that has already
2:48:42 > 2:48:46happened and that will go down. Generally we are looking between
2:48:46 > 2:48:55about four and eight Celsius. Very nippy when you add on the wind.
2:48:56 > 2:48:57nippy when you add on the wind. It will be windy, but it will
2:48:57 > 2:48:59strengthen across the north-east of Scotland where we are looking at
2:48:59 > 2:49:02Gaels or severe gales. There will be wintry showers in the north of the
2:49:02 > 2:49:05country but we will see a wintry mix as become further south. Fairly
2:49:05 > 2:49:11transient because it is a weak weather front that is dying in.
2:49:11 > 2:49:16Tomorrow, it will be a cold start with a risk of ice on untreated
2:49:16 > 2:49:20surfaces and wintry showers. Still quite windy but temperature wise,
2:49:20 > 2:49:25not quite as low as today, just a little bit higher and there will be
2:49:25 > 2:49:31a bit of dry weather and some sunshine to boot. As we head into
2:49:31 > 2:49:35Friday, a range of high pressure builds, settling things down. We
2:49:35 > 2:49:39have bright skies, sunshine as well and down the east coast we are
2:49:39 > 2:49:42likely to see showers and this is where we will have the strongest
2:49:42 > 2:49:47winds. As we head into the weekend, just a heads up. A couple of weather
2:49:47 > 2:49:51fronts introducing rain, and ahead of them it will be cold, and behind
2:49:51 > 2:49:54them it will be cold. So there is a good chance that is the reigning
2:49:54 > 2:49:59gauges with the cold air it will turn to snow. -- as the rain
2:49:59 > 2:50:04engages. The forecast could change, so if you have outdoor plans,
2:50:04 > 2:50:08keeping contact with the forecast and I will keep you up-to-date with
2:50:08 > 2:50:13what is going on for the rest of the week.
2:50:13 > 2:50:15Thank you, Carol.
2:50:15 > 2:50:17The late poet and author Helen Dunmore was awarded
2:50:17 > 2:50:20the Costa Book of the Year last night, for her final collection
2:50:20 > 2:50:24of poetry which was written shortly before she died.
2:50:24 > 2:50:26Judges described 'Inside the Wave' as 'life-affirming' and
2:50:26 > 2:50:27'uplifting'.
2:50:27 > 2:50:29And her children Tess and Patrick,
2:50:29 > 2:50:31who collected the award in her place, hope it will help
2:50:31 > 2:50:33others dealing with death and grief.
2:50:33 > 2:50:34Here is the moment Helen was named the winner.
2:50:38 > 2:50:45The winner of the 2017 Costa Book of the Year is, Inside the Wave, by
2:50:45 > 2:50:56Helen Dunmore.We are completely and utterly blown away. Poetry was in my
2:50:56 > 2:50:59mum's soul, and this collection is some of the most beautiful writing
2:50:59 > 2:51:04she ever did in her life and it came at the time of her death, and for
2:51:04 > 2:51:10us, it is so personal and wonderful, and we hope it will touch a lot of
2:51:10 > 2:51:16people who faced this thing that we all do. Thank you so much to cost
2:51:16 > 2:51:21for the prize and everything it does for reading and readers.Some
2:51:21 > 2:51:22beautiful words.
2:51:22 > 2:51:23Helen's daughter Tess joins us from our London
2:51:23 > 2:51:26newsroom this morning.
2:51:26 > 2:51:28I was watching you listening and watching that and you were smiling
2:51:28 > 2:51:32as you were listening to Patrick. You must be incredibly proud, the
2:51:32 > 2:51:37whole family.It was amazing. We did not expect it at all.It was just
2:51:37 > 2:51:44incredible. What was it the drew your mum to poetry and writing this
2:51:44 > 2:51:49book, Inside the Wave, which was such powerful poetry and so personal
2:51:49 > 2:51:54as well.Poetry was always at the heart of mum's work. She was a poet
2:51:54 > 2:52:00first and foremost. It was so natural that this massive experience
2:52:00 > 2:52:07of her dying, she would write about it. She said that often with her
2:52:07 > 2:52:11poems they would, over time but these just came to her fully formed
2:52:11 > 2:52:16and almost wrote themselves.And a lot of it, and you will read one
2:52:16 > 2:52:22later for us, a lot of it was about dealing with death and life coming
2:52:22 > 2:52:27to an end. The judges said it was so powerful and well written, but for
2:52:27 > 2:52:34you, you read them very differently because it is your mum writing them.
2:52:34 > 2:52:39The collection was published when she was still alive. And it was
2:52:39 > 2:52:47actually quite comforting for us because as someone, someone who is
2:52:47 > 2:52:52dying, as their loved one, you worry about them being frightened or it
2:52:52 > 2:52:55being a difficult experience, but from the poem is the hope and
2:52:55 > 2:52:59positivity, it was really reassuring to know that mum was not frightened
2:52:59 > 2:53:03and she still saw such beauty in life until the end.Patrick was
2:53:03 > 2:53:08saying how important it was for you as a family that your mum's work has
2:53:08 > 2:53:11been recognised and hopefully that will have an impact on poetry in the
2:53:11 > 2:53:17future. And you hope the legacy pans out with your mum 's work?What I
2:53:17 > 2:53:21hope most is it gets more people involved in poetry. Personally, I
2:53:21 > 2:53:33think poetry is one of the most soulful artforms. And I hope that
2:53:33 > 2:53:37people read this work and realise that poetry is on something kind of
2:53:37 > 2:53:41elitist or inaccessible. It's very accessible and can speak to anyone.
2:53:41 > 2:53:45I think the main thing mum would be pleased about is the idea of more
2:53:45 > 2:53:50people becoming involved in poetry. It's great that on the back of this
2:53:50 > 2:53:54many more people will read your mum's work, and you are going to
2:53:54 > 2:54:00read one of her poems for us. It is called my life stem was cut. We'd
2:54:00 > 2:54:05love to hear some of your world -- mum's work.My life stem was cut.
2:54:05 > 2:54:11But quickly. Lovingly I was lifted up. I heard the rush of the tap and
2:54:11 > 2:54:16I was set in water. In the blue bars, beautiful in lip and curve.
2:54:16 > 2:54:23And here I am, opening one petal. I wait while the sun moves and the
2:54:23 > 2:54:27Bees finish their dancing. I know I am dying, but why not keep flowering
2:54:27 > 2:54:36as long as I can for -- from Mike at stem?Test, that is beautiful. That
2:54:36 > 2:54:42is my life stem was cut by Helen Dunmore who picked up the Costa Book
2:54:42 > 2:54:44of the Year last year. Thank you so much and congratulations to the
2:54:44 > 2:54:51whole family.Baggy so much. -- thank you so much.That was lovely.
2:54:51 > 2:54:54Beautiful stuff. Thank you for tests and Patrick for speaking most
2:54:54 > 2:54:58beautiful words.
2:54:58 > 2:55:00Over the last few months stargazers have been lucky enough to see
2:55:00 > 2:55:03supermoons and even a blue moon, but this evening the night sky
2:55:03 > 2:55:04will offer something even more spectacular.
2:55:04 > 2:55:07A super blue blood moon is a spectacle that hasn't
2:55:07 > 2:55:10been seen for 152 years.
2:55:10 > 2:55:14It is a combination of a blue moon, a total lunar eclipse and a super
2:55:14 > 2:55:21moon all at the same time.
2:55:21 > 2:55:23The view will be most impressive in North America,
2:55:23 > 2:55:25Alaska and the Hawaiian islands just before dawn.
2:55:25 > 2:55:28In the UK, the best time will be at 12.40am on Thursday morning,
2:55:28 > 2:55:30when the moon is at its highest, although we won't be
2:55:30 > 2:55:34able to see the red hue from the total lunar eclipse.
2:55:34 > 2:55:36The next super blue blood moon won't happen
2:55:36 > 2:55:40until New Year's Eve, 2028, according to Nasa.
2:55:40 > 2:55:42Thousands of people across the world will be
2:55:42 > 2:55:45waiting to catch a glimpse of it, and many will be trying
2:55:45 > 2:55:51to capture it on camera.
2:55:51 > 2:55:53But just how hard is that to achieve?
2:55:53 > 2:55:55We sent Breakfast's Graham Satchell out with a moon
2:55:55 > 2:56:03photographer to find out.
2:56:03 > 2:56:06We are somewhere near the east coast of England.
2:56:06 > 2:56:09Meet at 0430 hours, I was told.
2:56:09 > 2:56:14# Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone...#
2:56:14 > 2:56:16Hello, Danny.
2:56:16 > 2:56:19Danny Lawson is a photographer for the Press Association.
2:56:19 > 2:56:24His pictures end up in papers across the country.
2:56:24 > 2:56:26So these are the ones we'll be using.
2:56:26 > 2:56:28This is yours.
2:56:28 > 2:56:31Moon watchers are excited, because it's not just a full moon.
2:56:31 > 2:56:35It's a super blue blood moon - quite rare.
2:56:35 > 2:56:41How do you get a perfect shot at it?
2:56:41 > 2:56:48Lemeunier is huge. It is colossal full stop -- the moon is huge.
2:56:48 > 2:56:51The times with a supermoon, if I can photograph it next
2:56:51 > 2:56:54to a point of interest on the horizon, to give you scale,
2:56:54 > 2:56:55that's what you're looking for.
2:56:55 > 2:56:57You're after showing the moon in situ, in scale.
2:56:57 > 2:56:59Danny has taken some of the most stunning,
2:56:59 > 2:57:03breathtaking photographs.
2:57:03 > 2:57:06And this is what he means about giving the moon scale -
2:57:06 > 2:57:09a focal point in the foreground, as the moon sets on the horizon.
2:57:12 > 2:57:16For tonight's shot, Danny has chosen the Humber oil refinery.
2:57:16 > 2:57:19But will the weather be kind to us?
2:57:19 > 2:57:22The moon is in a battle with the clouds.
2:57:22 > 2:57:24What are you seeing, Danny?
2:57:24 > 2:57:29I'm seeing a lot of black.
2:57:29 > 2:57:32There is still half an hour or so before the moon sets,
2:57:32 > 2:57:36so we settle down to wait.
2:57:36 > 2:57:39# I see a bad moon rising...#
2:57:39 > 2:57:40You know, Danny, a lot of people
2:57:40 > 2:57:43associate the moon with madness.
2:57:43 > 2:57:46So the Latin word for the moon is "luna," where we get
2:57:46 > 2:57:48lunatic, or lunacy.
2:57:48 > 2:57:50Some pretty crazy things can happen under the moonlight.
2:57:50 > 2:57:53Know what I mean?
2:57:53 > 2:57:55No, not really.
2:57:55 > 2:58:02# Dancing in the moonlight...#
2:58:02 > 2:58:03The main thing about
2:58:03 > 2:58:11the moon is the mystery, the wonder, the awe.
2:58:12 > 2:58:14You know how our nearest celestial cousin reminds us
2:58:14 > 2:58:17of the vastness of the universe, and how insignificant
2:58:17 > 2:58:18we are in it all?
2:58:18 > 2:58:19Know what I mean?
2:58:19 > 2:58:20No, not really.
2:58:20 > 2:58:21So did the clouds break?
2:58:21 > 2:58:22Were we lucky?
2:58:22 > 2:58:25At the critical moment, the moon was obscured.
2:58:25 > 2:58:30Danny was left with a beautiful shot of the refinery.
2:58:30 > 2:58:33This is what it might have looked like if there weren't any clouds.
2:58:33 > 2:58:35But there were, so it didn't.
2:58:35 > 2:58:38We say goodbye as the sun rises.
2:58:38 > 2:58:42Was the night pointless, futile, insignificant?
2:58:42 > 2:58:48I think a lot was learnt.
2:58:52 > 2:58:55Our next guest was shouting out fake news there.
2:58:55 > 2:58:57We're joined now by Professot Tim O'Brien, Astrophycisist
2:58:57 > 2:59:00from the University of Manchester.
2:59:00 > 2:59:06I love it when you come on, because enthusiasm pours out of you. How
2:59:06 > 2:59:10excited are you for this lunar event on the way?The interesting thing
2:59:10 > 2:59:14about this one is three things happening at once, the super moon
2:59:14 > 2:59:20bingo where the moon is a bit closer to the earth than normal -- super
2:59:20 > 2:59:26Moon bingo. The orbit is closer so it looks a bit bigger. The blue Moon
2:59:26 > 2:59:34is almost a folk story, it came from a farmer's almanac, saying that to
2:59:34 > 2:59:42blue moons in a month is relatively unusual. And the blood Moon is the
2:59:42 > 2:59:46term invented recently to mean a total lunar eclipse, when the moon
2:59:46 > 2:59:53passes into the Earth's shadow. All of these things happen relatively
2:59:53 > 2:59:56often, and they are happening at the same time.Have you ever been lucky
2:59:56 > 3:00:06enough to see one?Oh, yes.But all three together?The last time there
3:00:06 > 3:00:10was one anywhere on the planet was 1982, and that was on the other side
3:00:10 > 3:00:14of the planet on the Western Hemisphere and that was back in the
3:00:14 > 3:00:201860s. Quite unusual to have all three at once.In this country we
3:00:20 > 3:00:23cannot see the blood Moon is that is on the other side of the world.The
3:00:23 > 3:00:28moon passes into the Earth's shadow just before 11 o'clock today and the
3:00:28 > 3:00:33moon is on the opposite side of the sun, so only people on the other
3:00:33 > 3:00:39side of the planet will see that. The peaks in mid-eclipse at 1:30pm
3:00:39 > 3:00:44and then it comes out later in the afternoon but there's loads of web
3:00:44 > 3:00:48streams. And there is one we can see from here, in July. So we don't have
3:00:48 > 3:00:52long to wait.
3:00:52 > 3:00:57It's all weather dependent, isn't it?You've got to be Zen about it as
3:00:57 > 3:01:02an astronomer! We cannot yet control the weather so we just have to live
3:01:02 > 3:01:07with that. You know, it's great that people are excited about these
3:01:07 > 3:01:12things. You see it all over the news and the local pictures. I think
3:01:12 > 3:01:17every moon it is super. Every time you look at the moon is a good time
3:01:17 > 3:01:23for me. Beautiful crescent moon, a thin crescent with earthshine
3:01:23 > 3:01:30eliminating the fainter part of the Moon is a beautiful thing --
3:01:30 > 3:01:34illuminating the fainter part of the Moon is a beautiful thing.Graham
3:01:34 > 3:01:38was having a bit of a joke they're dancing about with the moon. As a
3:01:38 > 3:01:42regular moon watcher, have you experienced with stuff on a full
3:01:42 > 3:01:49moon? LAUGHTERI'm afraid I can't confirm that weird stuff happens at
3:01:49 > 3:01:56full moon! Of course, the moon has a significant effect on the tides. Ten
3:01:56 > 3:02:04two are driven by the moon and the sun. When you get a new
3:02:06 > 3:02:09sun. When you get a new moon -- tides are driven by the moon and the
3:02:09 > 3:02:13sun. When it's halfway around you get the low tides. It affects the
3:02:13 > 3:02:17water, it affects the earth. Even the solid earth is affected by the
3:02:17 > 3:02:24tides.I don't routinely look through a telescope but you have
3:02:24 > 3:02:28access to one what should you be looking out for? What other things
3:02:28 > 3:02:33you love seeing?A full moon like we've got at the moment is probably
3:02:33 > 3:02:37the least good time to use a telescope to look at the moon.
3:02:37 > 3:02:40Because it's lipped face and everything is very bright and you
3:02:40 > 3:02:47don't get the relief typography of the moon. If you wait until it's in
3:02:47 > 3:02:51a half phase or crescent, if you look at where the light turns to
3:02:51 > 3:02:55shadow, then the sunlight is coming from the side. Where you've got
3:02:55 > 3:03:00mountains and crater walls you get long shadows and it's incredible.
3:03:00 > 3:03:04Looking at the moon through a telescope is one of the most
3:03:04 > 3:03:09spectacular things. It feels like you're flying over the lunar
3:03:09 > 3:03:12landscape. It's one of the great things to see through a telescope.
3:03:12 > 3:03:17Is that the sort of thing you can still appreciate through a telescope
3:03:17 > 3:03:21you can buy yourself?The moon is so close and pretty big, so you don't
3:03:21 > 3:03:27need a big telescope to see it. A pair of binoculars is good as well.
3:03:27 > 3:03:33One of the great places to look at the moon, there is news on that.Our
3:03:33 > 3:03:42document we spent a long time writing, the UK Government has just
3:03:42 > 3:03:46submitted it to the UNESCO office in Paris. We are looking forward to
3:03:46 > 3:03:53that.You find out next year?In July 2019 we find out if we are
3:03:53 > 3:03:57successfulthank you very much.
3:03:57 > 3:04:00The actor, Lydia Wilson will join us here on the sofa shortly.
3:04:00 > 3:04:03She'll tell us about her new drama, Requiem which has already
3:04:03 > 3:04:05got the critics asking whether its is the BBC's
3:04:05 > 3:04:08most terrifying drama.
3:04:08 > 3:04:10Join us to find out, but first a last, brief
3:04:10 > 3:05:50look at the headlines where you are this morning.
3:05:50 > 3:05:56I'll be back at 1:30pm. Bye-bye.
3:05:57 > 3:06:00Welcome back.
3:06:00 > 3:06:02Requiem is the much anticipated BBC drama which centres on a historic
3:06:02 > 3:06:05case of a toddler that went missing from a Welsh village.
3:06:05 > 3:06:08The psychological thriller sees the lead character,
3:06:08 > 3:06:09Matilda questioning her life following the death of her mother,
3:06:09 > 3:06:13when she finds items linking her mother to the missing child.
3:06:13 > 3:06:17In a moment, we'll speak to Lydia Wilson who plays Matilda,
3:06:17 > 3:06:19but first let's take a look at a clip from the
3:06:19 > 3:06:25supernatural series.
3:06:25 > 3:06:30Critics are saying this series will leave us rattled!
3:06:30 > 3:06:38TENSE ORCHESTRAL MUSIC.
3:06:41 > 3:06:43Do I know you?
3:06:43 > 3:06:44You're Rose.
3:06:44 > 3:06:47Rose Morgan.
3:06:47 > 3:06:51What do you want?
3:06:51 > 3:06:55My name is Matilda Gray.
3:06:55 > 3:06:58I want to talk to you, maybe after the service we can sit down...
3:06:58 > 3:07:06We can talk right now.
3:07:07 > 3:07:12My mum, her name was Janice Gray.
3:07:12 > 3:07:15You're going to ask me about my daughter.
3:07:15 > 3:07:16How did you know that?
3:07:16 > 3:07:17You're not wanted here.
3:07:17 > 3:07:19Go away.
3:07:19 > 3:07:21Please, if you knew my mum you would tell me...
3:07:21 > 3:07:24What's all this?
3:07:24 > 3:07:26My mum killed herself, and I think it had something
3:07:26 > 3:07:31to do with your daughter.
3:07:31 > 3:07:33We are now joined by Lydia Wilson who plays
3:07:33 > 3:07:34Matilda Gray in the series.
3:07:34 > 3:07:41Good morning. Where shall we start? Critics are calling this really
3:07:41 > 3:07:51scary. Tell us a little bit about your character. She's quite a famous
3:07:51 > 3:07:57cellist.She's just on the brink of breaking America and she's a cello
3:07:57 > 3:08:01prodigy. She's been raised by a single mum in London and is at a
3:08:01 > 3:08:04crossroads where her life is about to go like that. And then it goes
3:08:04 > 3:08:11like that.Everything unravels. As you said, your mum has committed
3:08:11 > 3:08:18suicide. You go to find out more about her.It was quite heightened
3:08:18 > 3:08:25from the beginning, really.When it's all been put together with the
3:08:25 > 3:08:29music, when you're filming something like that is it scary at the time?
3:08:29 > 3:08:34Do you realise what it's going to be like?I've got to be honest, no.
3:08:34 > 3:08:38There's enough to chew and thinking about the story and this and that. I
3:08:38 > 3:08:42was stunned when I saw it put together, and with the sound design
3:08:42 > 3:08:47as well. I dare you to watch it with sound!The first thing Louise Hunt
3:08:47 > 3:08:53said this morning, have you seen it, it's so scary! -- the first thing
3:08:53 > 3:08:59that Louise said this morning. Were you drawn to the character, was
3:08:59 > 3:09:03there something about that that pulls you in?Yes, massively. In
3:09:03 > 3:09:10something that is a bit genre, I thought it was quite unusual to have
3:09:10 > 3:09:16such a specific protagonist. She's a sort of London girl I could
3:09:16 > 3:09:21recognise. That juxtaposition of someone who feels so real in this
3:09:21 > 3:09:26extraordinary story, I thought that was really unusual.Tell us about
3:09:26 > 3:09:29the script because presumably you must get scripts all the time. Was
3:09:29 > 3:09:36this an unusual one for a woman of a script?I really did. She isn't an
3:09:36 > 3:09:40archetype. She's not Alice in Wonderland. That was my way in, to
3:09:40 > 3:09:46try and make her as specific as possible. To break up that archetype
3:09:46 > 3:09:54of wide-eyed type.Did you have to play the cello, because she's
3:09:54 > 3:09:59seriously accomplished, isn't she? My friend Jo is an amazing classical
3:09:59 > 3:10:02cellist and I had a teacher called Emma. Between them they helped me
3:10:02 > 3:10:08out with my
3:10:08 > 3:10:12out with my fingering. Another friend called Jo helped me out as
3:10:12 > 3:10:18well. Maybe I'm destined for it!One thing I suppose you can't talk about
3:10:18 > 3:10:30acting at the moment without talking about the Te too campaign
3:10:32 > 3:10:35about the Te too campaign -- the Me Too campaign.It feels like any
3:10:35 > 3:10:37contribution is a contribution across the board but it's hard to
3:10:37 > 3:10:42talk about it in any sort of specificity because it's so huge.
3:10:42 > 3:10:49Half the human race are talking about millennia of inequality. I've
3:10:49 > 3:10:53been really excited by it because it feels like consciousness is being
3:10:53 > 3:10:57raised in so many different areas. You talked about some of the scripts
3:10:57 > 3:11:03you get, all they are is you crying for example. Do you think that will
3:11:03 > 3:11:07change? Do you think Me Too will have a fundamental change on the
3:11:07 > 3:11:12roles people are offered?I think so. I don't think it's deliberate.
3:11:12 > 3:11:16Everyone has something to gain from a conversation like this. All be
3:11:16 > 3:11:20allowed to finish my sentences in a rehearsal room and other people
3:11:20 > 3:11:24might be interested to hear them. I can well imagine the conversation
3:11:24 > 3:11:28changing. I don't think it's a deliberate holding back in most
3:11:28 > 3:11:33cases.I spoke to another actor on the radio a few weeks ago. She said
3:11:33 > 3:11:37the one change it will make for her individually is that she feels when
3:11:37 > 3:11:40she sees something or here's something she feels empowered to
3:11:40 > 3:11:45challenge it which she wouldn't have done before.Absolutely. On the
3:11:45 > 3:11:50other side of that, when you do challenge something you trust you'll
3:11:50 > 3:11:56be heard or given licence to.Will you watch Requiem at home? Have you
3:11:56 > 3:12:03seen it all already?Our amazing director said to me, you've got to
3:12:03 > 3:12:06watch it because I don't want to watch it for the first time with you
3:12:06 > 3:12:13at the screening. So I watched it all on my iPad which is no way to
3:12:13 > 3:12:18watch.Why didn't she want you to...?We did this thing altogether
3:12:18 > 3:12:23last year and she didn't want the first time I saw it to be in a
3:12:23 > 3:12:27public screening and then to have to say did you like it?You need a bit
3:12:27 > 3:12:31of time to think about it. I think it will be one of those programmes
3:12:31 > 3:12:38that everybody is talking about. I don't know whether this is something
3:12:38 > 3:12:42you will look forward to, it being a public discussion point in the same
3:12:42 > 3:12:47way quite a few dramas are these days.To be honest, I just enjoy
3:12:47 > 3:12:52doing it last year. Now that it's actually coming out, I haven't
3:12:52 > 3:12:57really imagined it.I'm pretty sure it will be. Dan always watches
3:12:57 > 3:13:01things on the night that they are on and then he says did you see it? I
3:13:01 > 3:13:05haven't yet because I go to bed early! LAUGHTER Good luck and thank
3:13:05 > 3:13:07you for coming to see us.
3:13:07 > 3:13:15Requiem is on BBC One this Friday at 9pm.
3:13:16 > 3:13:18Be ready! LAUGHTER
3:13:18 > 3:13:20That's all we've got time for this morning.
3:13:20 > 3:13:22Charlie and Naga will be here from 6am tomorrow.
3:13:22 > 3:13:25Until then, whatever you do, have a good day.
3:13:25 > 3:13:33Bye-bye.
