0:00:13 > 0:00:14Hello. A very good morning.

0:00:14 > 0:00:17This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:00:17 > 0:00:19The start of a crucial week of Brexit talks.

0:00:19 > 0:00:22As the EU's Chief Negotiator arrives in London, Downing Street moves

0:00:22 > 0:00:30to shore up divisions in the Conservative party.

0:00:40 > 0:00:41Good morning.

0:00:41 > 0:00:42It's Monday the fifth of February.

0:00:42 > 0:00:43Also this morning:

0:00:43 > 0:00:46A man suspected of carrying out the terror attacks that killed 130

0:00:46 > 0:00:50people in Paris three years ago, is going on trial in Belgium.

0:00:50 > 0:00:52The Duchess of Cambridge isses a personal message calling

0:00:52 > 0:01:00on parents and teachers to help children feel happy with themselves.

0:01:02 > 0:01:05Whether we are school leaders, teachers, support staff, or parents,

0:01:05 > 0:01:08we each have a crucial role to play.

0:01:08 > 0:01:09Good morning.

0:01:09 > 0:01:12One of our big name banks has banned customers from buying controversial

0:01:12 > 0:01:14cryptocurrency Bitcoin on their credit cards.

0:01:14 > 0:01:17I'm looking at why they've done it and what it means

0:01:17 > 0:01:18for eight million customers.

0:01:18 > 0:01:18Good morning.

0:01:18 > 0:01:22And in sport, a suprise win for the underdogs in America's Super

0:01:22 > 0:01:22Bowl.

0:01:22 > 0:01:23The Philadelphia Eagles beat the favourites,

0:01:23 > 0:01:26the New England Patriots, by 40 to 33.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30It's the first time they've won the title.

0:01:30 > 0:01:34Let me hear you, Minneapolis!

0:01:34 > 0:01:37And Justin Timberlake wows the crowds at half time.

0:01:37 > 0:01:39ending up dancing in the crowd.

0:01:39 > 0:01:41And it's getting cold out there.

0:01:41 > 0:01:44Carol can tell us how cold.

0:01:44 > 0:01:55A few warnings.Good morning. A cold start to the day. The

0:02:01 > 0:02:03start to the day. The risk of ice on untreated surfaces. Wind from the

0:02:03 > 0:02:08east. Some of us will have snow from the West. I will have more in 15

0:02:08 > 0:02:09minutes.Thank you.

0:02:09 > 0:02:09Good morning.

0:02:09 > 0:02:10First, our main story.

0:02:10 > 0:02:13The EU's Chief Negotiator, Michel Barnier, will visit

0:02:13 > 0:02:15Downing Street today for talks about a possible transitional period

0:02:15 > 0:02:17after Britain leaves the European Union.

0:02:17 > 0:02:19The Government has indicated it remains determined to leave

0:02:19 > 0:02:21the European Customs Union after Brexit.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24The move is seen as an attempt to defuse a growing row

0:02:24 > 0:02:25within the Conservative Party.

0:02:25 > 0:02:30Our political correspondent, Chris Mason, joins us now.

0:02:30 > 0:02:41He is not in Westminster! Let us know what is happening.It has

0:02:41 > 0:02:46unlocked the Brexit process. Michel Barnier, we regularly hear about him

0:02:46 > 0:02:50in the news, but he is perhaps not widely known, he will be having

0:02:50 > 0:02:56lunch in Downing Street today with David Davis. He comes from the

0:02:56 > 0:03:07south-east of France. Is that place rings a bell, the 1992 winter

0:03:07 > 0:03:12Olympics was held there. He was a politician that was crucial in it

0:03:12 > 0:03:22being a success. In the 1990s he was the Europe minister for France. John

0:03:22 > 0:03:32Major is

0:03:32 > 0:03:35Major is the person who was working with him then. And they are talking

0:03:35 > 0:03:41about the transition arrangement.

0:03:41 > 0:03:43about the transition arrangement. A two-year period at the end of Brexit

0:03:43 > 0:03:47in March next year. In that meeting, Theresa May will drop by. Not

0:03:47 > 0:03:53unusual, she lives there. A big thing for her today is the customs

0:03:53 > 0:04:00union. So many ridiculous phrases thrown around in the Brexit context.

0:04:00 > 0:04:04It means while we are in the EU, when we sell stuff to other

0:04:04 > 0:04:14countries, no additional tax or tariff is added. In addition to

0:04:14 > 0:04:19that, there is an agreed tariff, additional tax, for all of the goods

0:04:19 > 0:04:23sold outside of the European Union. The British government is making it

0:04:23 > 0:04:27clear this morning we are definitely leaving the customs union. This

0:04:27 > 0:04:30matters because it has been absolutely essential to the row

0:04:30 > 0:04:37involving the next character, Jacob Rees-Mogg, a one man rolling news

0:04:37 > 0:04:44channel at the moment. Never off the television, talking about Brexit. He

0:04:44 > 0:04:49is a guard dog for the true, real Brexit as far as Conservative

0:04:49 > 0:04:55Eurosceptics are concerned. He has been described as a red telephone

0:04:55 > 0:05:01box in human form. He is a traditionalist, standing up for the

0:05:01 > 0:05:07essence of Britain. The strength of his argument and how vociferous it

0:05:07 > 0:05:13is has caused Theresa May a bit of anguish. Even though he will not be

0:05:13 > 0:05:17at the meetings today, you can imagine a cardboard cutout of him

0:05:17 > 0:05:21propped up against the wall in Downing Street.Very interesting,

0:05:21 > 0:05:28and thank you for talking to us in bringing in your guests. Plenty more

0:05:28 > 0:05:29later on.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32A new ring-fenced tax to fund the NHS and social care in England

0:05:32 > 0:05:35has been proposed by a panel of health experts.

0:05:35 > 0:05:36The panel, commissioned by the Liberal Democrats

0:05:36 > 0:05:39which includes the former head of NHS England Sir David Nicholson,

0:05:39 > 0:05:42has also recommended a return of caps on personal payments

0:05:42 > 0:05:43for adult social care.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45Here's our health editor, Hugh Pym.

0:05:45 > 0:05:47Thousands of demonstrators marched through London at the weekend,

0:05:47 > 0:05:49calling for increased funding for the NHS.

0:05:49 > 0:05:51Health unions joined other campaigners, arguing

0:05:51 > 0:05:53there was a winter crisis which needed urgent

0:05:53 > 0:06:00action and investment.

0:06:00 > 0:06:03Today, a report from health experts, including the former head of NHS

0:06:03 > 0:06:06England, has called for new answers to NHS funding problems.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08The report commissioned by the Liberal Democrats calls

0:06:08 > 0:06:12for an extra £4 billion on top of inflation for the NHS in England

0:06:12 > 0:06:19in the next financial year, more than double the increase

0:06:19 > 0:06:21announced in the budget.

0:06:21 > 0:06:25A single, ring-fenced tax for health

0:06:25 > 0:06:31and social care replacing National Insurance.

0:06:31 > 0:06:32And reinstating

0:06:32 > 0:06:35a commitment to cap the costs paid by individuals for social care.

0:06:35 > 0:06:38The report argues that higher funding needed for health and care

0:06:38 > 0:06:41should come through increased taxation, and that this will be more

0:06:41 > 0:06:43transparent if there is a dedicated tax for this purpose.

0:06:43 > 0:06:46Longer waiting lists and rationing for some treatments,

0:06:46 > 0:06:48it says, are undermining the key principles of the NHS.

0:06:48 > 0:06:51In response, the Department of Health and Social Care said

0:06:51 > 0:06:54the NHS had been prioritised in the budget, and an extra £2

0:06:54 > 0:06:57billion had already been provided for social care in England.

0:06:57 > 0:07:00Hugh Pym, BBC News.

0:07:00 > 0:07:03The sole surviving suspect behind the Paris terror attacks in 2015

0:07:03 > 0:07:05will go on trial in Belgium today.

0:07:05 > 0:07:08Salah Abdeslam faces charges relating to a shoot-out he had

0:07:08 > 0:07:10with police while on the run in Belgium in 2016.

0:07:10 > 0:07:14He faces a second trial relating to his involvement in the Paris

0:07:14 > 0:07:17attacks at a later date.

0:07:20 > 0:07:25Customers of the Lloyds Banking Group have been banned from buying

0:07:25 > 0:07:30crypto currencies like Bitcoin. They say they are protecting 8 million

0:07:30 > 0:07:34customers from getting debt they could not repay. Bitcoin, what is

0:07:34 > 0:07:41it?Thank you for that. A good start. It is a virtual currency, on

0:07:41 > 0:07:48line only. It is a type of money not physical in any way. It does not

0:07:48 > 0:07:52have a Central Bank like the Bank of England to print a £5 note. It is

0:07:52 > 0:07:58like a computer file. One Bitcoin is like a computer file generated by a

0:07:58 > 0:08:05complicated mathematical formula, like the encryption news. That is

0:08:05 > 0:08:09why you hear the phrase cryptocurrency. It is a currency.

0:08:09 > 0:08:14People have started accepting it around the world, many more than

0:08:14 > 0:08:18before, businesses and individuals, as a form of cash. You can buy goods

0:08:18 > 0:08:23and services with it. That is why we saw a growth in recent years. It is

0:08:23 > 0:08:30a new concept.Why have Lloyds done this?The price of Bitcoin has many

0:08:30 > 0:08:35people involved in it. One year ago it was worth £700. In November, it

0:08:35 > 0:08:45shot up to £30,000 for one Bitcoin. -- £13,000. At the moment, low

0:08:45 > 0:08:50interest rates, not much of a return for their money, people are

0:08:50 > 0:08:57interested it is very volatile. November, £13,000 to be now it is

0:08:57 > 0:09:03under £6,000. If you got involved last November, you would have lost

0:09:03 > 0:09:07nearly half of your money. That volatility has a lot of people

0:09:07 > 0:09:11cautious about returns on it. You could lose a lot of money, you could

0:09:11 > 0:09:17make a lot of money. Lloyds Bank is worried people will use credit cards

0:09:17 > 0:09:22to get debt to pay for Bitcoins and then lose all of their money.Thank

0:09:22 > 0:09:29you very much.I enjoy that. It is not often you do that at ten parsecs

0:09:29 > 0:09:40in the morning.-- 6:10.

0:09:40 > 0:09:47Mothers earn about 30% less than similarly educated fathers by the

0:09:47 > 0:09:50age of 30.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53A new mental health campaign to encourage children "to be

0:09:53 > 0:09:55comfortable in their own skin" is being supported

0:09:55 > 0:09:57by The Duchess of Cambridge.

0:09:57 > 0:10:00Her Royal Highness, Kate Middleton is pregnant with her third child

0:10:00 > 0:10:03and says adults should help encourage children to be the best

0:10:03 > 0:10:06versions of themselves.

0:10:06 > 0:10:09Hopefully we will hear from her later.I was expecting something

0:10:09 > 0:10:13from her.We will bring you that sometime later.

0:10:13 > 0:10:17There's been a number of road accidents as snow fell on the M20

0:10:17 > 0:10:18motorway in Kent overnight.

0:10:18 > 0:10:21The Met Office issued a yellow warning for snow and ice

0:10:21 > 0:10:22for the south-east of England.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24Snow's also fallen over East Anglia.

0:10:24 > 0:10:32Police are urging drivers to take extra care.

0:10:34 > 0:10:46We will have updates from Carol. Listen to her later.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49Take a look at these dramatic pictures of a sea rescue

0:10:49 > 0:10:50from the RNLI.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53The woman you can see there in the water, was perched

0:10:53 > 0:10:57on top of a submerged car, after she became stranded on a beach

0:10:57 > 0:10:59on the Cumbrian coast as the tide was coming in.

0:10:59 > 0:11:03The woman was forced to climb on to the top of her vehicle

0:11:03 > 0:11:05to escape rising sea water between Mawbray and Beckfoot.

0:11:05 > 0:11:08She was eventually rescued by the lifeboat and treated

0:11:08 > 0:11:08for hypothermia.

0:11:08 > 0:11:16The RNLI said she had a lucky escape.

0:11:21 > 0:11:27That is a warning to all of us if you are messing around on a beach.

0:11:27 > 0:11:41And don't take your car.Good point. Did you stay up for the Super Bowl?

0:11:41 > 0:11:50100%. That is the thing, you have to stay up. Varies much.I am sure so

0:11:50 > 0:11:56many have stayed up. -- there is so much.Send us photos as well. It was

0:11:56 > 0:12:04a great night. We love underdogs. That is what happened! We will see

0:12:04 > 0:12:11some of the action. Plenty of partying in Philadelphia.

0:12:11 > 0:12:17They beat the favourites, the New England Patriots in a thrilling high

0:12:17 > 0:12:32school game. Here is the touchdown that will be shown a billion times.

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Nick becoming the first quarterback to throw and catch touchdowns in

0:12:36 > 0:12:42their history.Let me hear you, Minneapolis!And that is the

0:12:42 > 0:12:50half-time show. It did not disappoint. Justin Timberlake,

0:12:50 > 0:12:56wowing the crowd from the middle. And what a start to the Six Nations.

0:12:56 > 0:12:59England made a great start to their defence of the six nations

0:12:59 > 0:13:01with a comfortable victory over Italy.

0:13:01 > 0:13:04They started and finished stylishly in Rome, running in seven tries

0:13:04 > 0:13:05for a bonus point win.

0:13:05 > 0:13:08Sam Simmonds capped off a fine tournament debut with two dries.

0:13:08 > 0:13:14Forty-six points to fifteen the final score.

0:13:14 > 0:13:17Harry Kane got 100 three league goals.

0:13:17 > 0:13:20British tennis might've found a new Davis Cup hero this weekend,

0:13:20 > 0:13:22but world number 114 Cameron Norrie's efforts couldn't

0:13:22 > 0:13:24prevent defeat to Spain.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26It means Britain will now face a play-off to keep

0:13:26 > 0:13:34their World Group place.

0:13:40 > 0:13:43Plenty more Super Bowl bells and whistles later in the programme.

0:13:43 > 0:13:53This morning I saw the half-time adverts. There was one

0:13:55 > 0:13:56adverts. There was one for the Rock's new film called Skyscraper.

0:13:56 > 0:14:05Everyone is saying it is a remake of diehard.Everyone is saying this

0:14:05 > 0:14:14looks a bit familiar.

0:14:14 > 0:14:18Good morning, loads going on with the weather. We certainly have some

0:14:18 > 0:14:19snow in the

0:14:19 > 0:14:20the weather. We certainly have some snow in the forecast, some of us are

0:14:20 > 0:14:24seen through the night and this morning and it will stay cold,

0:14:24 > 0:14:28looking at widespread frost and the risk of ice on untreated surfaces.

0:14:28 > 0:14:33Worst of that covers the forecast for today actually! Wintry showers

0:14:33 > 0:14:36this morning, particularly across parts of the south-east through

0:14:36 > 0:14:41Kent, Sussex, East Anglia and parts of Lincolnshire. A lot of dry

0:14:41 > 0:14:44weather around this morning. Some clear skies here and there although

0:14:44 > 0:14:51later on, the wintry show with across Devon, generally speaking, a

0:14:51 > 0:14:55lot of dry weather, cloud across central areas and the Midlands and

0:14:55 > 0:14:59those are those wintry showers across Kent, Sussex, East Anglia and

0:14:59 > 0:15:04at the east coast of England generally, at their rush hours.

0:15:04 > 0:15:11Further west, clear skies, cold. Some frost, ice, and Northern

0:15:11 > 0:15:14Ireland, in Scotland, the same, wintry showers in the west and also

0:15:14 > 0:15:19the east. Through the course of the day, some of those showers will push

0:15:19 > 0:15:23a little bit further westwards, hitting back into the Midlands and

0:15:23 > 0:15:26also through parts of Wales that they will be the exception rather

0:15:26 > 0:15:31than the rule. Most of us won't see them and many of us will have a dry

0:15:31 > 0:15:34day that it will still cold or indeed very cold, depending on where

0:15:34 > 0:15:37you are. You still have this north-easterly wind coming. Later

0:15:37 > 0:15:42on, the next system comes in, introducing rain and strengthening

0:15:42 > 0:15:47wind. As that thinks south-east through the course of the night, it

0:15:47 > 0:15:51engages with the cold air and you can see what is happening, the

0:15:51 > 0:15:55across northern Ireland, Scotland, northern England and Wales. Tonight,

0:15:55 > 0:16:01the risk of ice. Ahead of it, some patchy fog forming. You can see a

0:16:01 > 0:16:06rush of wintry showers coming across the north and also the west. If we

0:16:06 > 0:16:12pick up the band of rain, sleet and snow for tomorrow, it is going to

0:16:12 > 0:16:17continue to think Southwood getting into the influence of getting into

0:16:17 > 0:16:20the Midlands, fizzling as we go through the day but tomorrow, a

0:16:20 > 0:16:26winter in its anywhere in terms of showers. In between, dry and bright

0:16:26 > 0:16:35but look at those temperatures, those are the maximum is!

0:16:35 > 0:16:41those are the maximum is! -- maximums. Turning colder, it then

0:16:41 > 0:16:44rejuvenates, the we will see a period of snow coming south in

0:16:44 > 0:16:47through parts of the south-east during the course of Tuesday

0:16:47 > 0:16:52evening. Again, East Anglia towards the south-east. But in the course of

0:16:52 > 0:16:57Wednesday will continue to edge away from the south-east, a ridge of high

0:16:57 > 0:17:01pressure comes in, then we have the next system coming our way, bringing

0:17:01 > 0:17:06more unsettled conditions. We start seeing the back end of the first

0:17:06 > 0:17:10front, under that bridge and other cold day, and then this one to

0:17:10 > 0:17:20indent with soap comes to content with. -- so keeps the content with.

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Let's take a look at what is making the headlines

0:17:22 > 0:17:26in this morning's papers.

0:17:26 > 0:17:32The Times, a secret plan to end Tory turmoil. The Customs deal could

0:17:32 > 0:17:38split customs and drove. A picture of the Queen, looking, we cannot

0:17:38 > 0:17:43talk about the weather there but when the sun as she walked the

0:17:43 > 0:17:46church near Sandringham, excepting flowers from well-wishers. The front

0:17:46 > 0:17:50page of the mirror, we told you that some of the papers picked up this

0:17:50 > 0:17:53story, the coldest week of winter and Carol has details throughout the

0:17:53 > 0:18:02morning. The Daily Telegraph I'm sure we have mentioned this already,

0:18:05 > 0:18:10bitcoin, Lloyds bank in bitcoin crackdown. This is a Facebook chief

0:18:10 > 0:18:17who says she has incurable cancer, she is the head of Facebook in

0:18:17 > 0:18:22Europe, disclosing yesterday she has an incurable form of cancer and lots

0:18:22 > 0:18:26of people talking about her. Front page of the Daily Mail, men are

0:18:26 > 0:18:31still dying of embarrassment, prostate cancer, they said, because

0:18:31 > 0:18:34they are too embarrassed to visit the doctor is part of their

0:18:34 > 0:18:42campaign. Their exclusive interview they say, Tamil Anderson, --

0:18:42 > 0:18:48Pamela,. Have you done the sun? No, the Queen 's swans. Apparently. They

0:18:48 > 0:18:53have bird flu.

0:18:55 > 0:19:01have bird flu. I thought they were killed by swans. Anyway. I'd hastily

0:19:01 > 0:19:08reverse, your Majesty. Interesting industry that is doing well in

0:19:08 > 0:19:13Britain is the film industry, the film studio industry, so the

0:19:13 > 0:19:16Guardian is saying this morning that at the minutes, the amount spent on

0:19:16 > 0:19:21TV production rose 10% last year which means they are having to find

0:19:21 > 0:19:24other sites across the UK so Pinewood isn't big enough anymore so

0:19:24 > 0:19:31maybe the made in Day Zero site the studio behind James Bond and Star

0:19:35 > 0:19:40it is a successful export to the UK. And the is in the kitchen, the

0:19:40 > 0:19:49growth in fully specced kitchens in workplaces. It is a nightmare in the

0:19:49 > 0:19:54office as it is with your fridge and your sandwiches and your name on

0:19:54 > 0:19:56them and imagining having ingredients for everything. I would

0:19:56 > 0:20:00be worried about some people may not bring their washing up. That is an

0:20:00 > 0:20:07issue anyway. What are you talking about? I will not name names. We

0:20:07 > 0:20:16don't even have posters at the BBC! Or a microwave! -- toasters. Health

0:20:16 > 0:20:20and safety. Go and work for a trendy start-up and they will have

0:20:20 > 0:20:26everything you need. Woks, the lot. Is that the full level of cooking

0:20:26 > 0:20:34for you? They even have a wok!. I never written into my contract. I

0:20:34 > 0:20:45demand a wok! As you can imagine, dominated by two stories today, the

0:20:45 > 0:20:53rugby, but of course what a great start for some, Sam's debut, two

0:20:53 > 0:20:57tries, the other story dominating the back pages is Liverpool and

0:20:57 > 0:21:01Tottenham, they have had everything that much but a bit of controversy

0:21:01 > 0:21:05at the end of the game if you kept watching right to the end, Jurgen

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Klopp had to physically restrain some of his players who were not too

0:21:08 > 0:21:16happy with some of the decisions that led to a Harry ane goal. --

0:21:16 > 0:21:23Harry Kane. The accused him of diving for the penalty. It puts a

0:21:23 > 0:21:28spin on his 100th goal, doesn't it? It was the challenge that football

0:21:28 > 0:21:33fans said they never touched it? Talking about technology and how it

0:21:33 > 0:21:36makes a difference to our lives a lot here on Breakfast, I like this,

0:21:36 > 0:21:41it is a survey basically looking at what we miss about technology being

0:21:41 > 0:21:46new and making mix tapes is number one. I loved those. Putting photos

0:21:46 > 0:21:52into albums. I still do that! I'd love a photo album! Metre, I just

0:21:52 > 0:22:00don't do it! I love that. I don't do it! You can do a playlist on your

0:22:00 > 0:22:04Spotify. It isn't the same! It is something special about hitting play

0:22:04 > 0:22:12and record on the radio and making a mix tape. Recording films and TV

0:22:12 > 0:22:16shows on videotape. Do you remember that? Having printed photos around

0:22:16 > 0:22:21the house, handwritten letters, buying CDs, love letters. Tell us

0:22:21 > 0:22:30what you think. To superquick ones, Tattler magazine, society bible, one

0:22:30 > 0:22:33thing you cannot talk about according to convention at a dinner

0:22:33 > 0:22:48party is? Anyone? It isn't... Wrecks it! Brexit. And how do you feel

0:22:48 > 0:22:55about question mark they are getting smaller. I'd... How would you feel

0:22:55 > 0:23:07about pets? Look at it. Yum or yuck? This has been created by a bit of a

0:23:07 > 0:23:12fan, 2200 calorie do we preach they call it. It is a terrible slant

0:23:18 > 0:23:24shadings of creme eggs and a creme egg in the middle. -- Nutella. Sean

0:23:24 > 0:23:30is concerned about the calorie content. You put it in a wok and it

0:23:30 > 0:23:34will be fine. See you later. It is 6:23 AM.

0:23:34 > 0:23:38Home to Table Mountain, Cape Town is one of the world's most

0:23:38 > 0:23:39iconic tourist destinations.

0:23:39 > 0:23:42It also could become known for being the first major city

0:23:42 > 0:23:44in the world to run out of water.

0:23:44 > 0:23:47After three years of very low rainfall and a growing population,

0:23:47 > 0:23:49it's facing its worst drought in memory.

0:23:49 > 0:23:53Day Zero - the 16th of April, the date taps are due to run dry -

0:23:53 > 0:23:54is in 70 days.

0:23:54 > 0:23:57Residents have been told to use less than 50 litres per day.

0:23:57 > 0:24:01To put that into context, a typical bath tub holds 80 litres.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03Bridgetti Lim Banda has set up a crisis group.

0:24:03 > 0:24:10She joins us now from Cape Town.

0:24:10 > 0:24:16Good morning, thanks adjoining house. Tell us, how have you been

0:24:16 > 0:24:20coping with these restrictions so far you have had on water?Morning.

0:24:20 > 0:24:22It is difficult,

0:24:22 > 0:24:24far you have had on water?Morning. It is difficult, that is no light,

0:24:24 > 0:24:28it is completely difficult, a different lifestyle than what we

0:24:28 > 0:24:32have had, you have had to restrict your showers to 90 seconds, that I

0:24:32 > 0:24:38do is I watched the base in three days a week and on the fourth day I

0:24:38 > 0:24:42will have a shower when I wash my hair is that becomes a big event is

0:24:42 > 0:24:46now in my life. The full wash in the basin.Tell us about Day Zero

0:24:46 > 0:24:50because by those days they are planning to turn off is what happens

0:24:50 > 0:24:59then?Well, de zero, the day they turned the, it isn't really a day in

0:24:59 > 0:25:02particular -- Day Zero. It will happen naturally as they lower the

0:25:02 > 0:25:07pressure in the pipes. What effect will happen is the water will be off

0:25:07 > 0:25:14for all of the suburbs and it means that we would have to up for 25

0:25:14 > 0:25:20litres of water per person per day so we are 50 litres at the moment

0:25:20 > 0:25:25and it will be almost impossible on that amount. That could go on for a

0:25:25 > 0:25:29period of at least three months, it could be longer, we have no idea.

0:25:29 > 0:25:34But we will need to prepare for that level in approximately three months.

0:25:34 > 0:25:41How worried are you buy it? It must be very concerning.It is very

0:25:41 > 0:25:44concerning because there are so many uncertainties. The local government

0:25:44 > 0:25:49hasn't been very forthcoming with plans and preparation for example,

0:25:49 > 0:25:53it's one thing that a lot of people are starting to become concerned

0:25:53 > 0:26:00about now, storage. Our storage system is now starting to back up

0:26:00 > 0:26:04because we are putting less and less water into it and you can imagine

0:26:04 > 0:26:12what will happen when we go down to 25 litres.

0:26:12 > 0:26:1625 litres. So, we need to make other plans a sewerage.Tell us, you seem

0:26:16 > 0:26:22to be by a pool. Is that still have water in it? Can you use that?It is

0:26:22 > 0:26:30half full. At the moment.Presumably you would not be able to do it.

0:26:30 > 0:26:37Argue able to use the pool water for other things? -- argue able? We have

0:26:37 > 0:26:42lost her. It seems extraordinary that they will do that. They will

0:26:42 > 0:26:47turn off the taps on that day zero and then people will have to survive

0:26:47 > 0:26:51off 25 litres. It is interesting, a 50 litre limit at the moment and

0:26:51 > 0:26:56shower is 62, isn't it? If you brush your teeth and leave a tap on it is

0:26:56 > 0:27:01nine litres. It is really... They will have to go and collect water

0:27:01 > 0:27:05from the street, are they, as well? It makes you think about when you

0:27:05 > 0:27:10are brushing your teeth, I make sure to turn the tap off now. Thank you

0:27:10 > 0:27:13for watching us, right now let's get the news, travel and weather where

0:27:13 > 0:30:33you are.

0:30:33 > 0:30:34a default on widespread frost.

0:30:34 > 0:30:36I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

0:30:36 > 0:30:37in half an hour.

0:30:37 > 0:30:40Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

0:30:40 > 0:30:42Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

0:30:42 > 0:30:43Bye for now.

0:30:45 > 0:30:46Hello.

0:30:46 > 0:30:48This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51We'll bring you the latest news and sport in a moment.

0:30:51 > 0:30:52Here's what's coming up:

0:30:52 > 0:30:56The TV presenter and Radio two DJ, Zoe Ball, will be on the sofa

0:30:56 > 0:31:02to tell us why she's getting on her bike for a cycling challenge.

0:31:02 > 0:31:04Are you planning to call in sick today?

0:31:04 > 0:31:06If you are, you won't be alone.

0:31:06 > 0:31:14It is estimated that around 350,000 will do just that.

0:31:14 > 0:31:19We'll explore how that impacts employers and the economy.

0:31:19 > 0:31:26I think this is my first oyster.It will not be your last, there are

0:31:26 > 0:31:30quite a few over there.

0:31:30 > 0:31:34Find out how the Ellis family got on when they sampled oysters as part

0:31:34 > 0:31:36of their time-travelling adventure around the kitchen table

0:31:36 > 0:31:38to experience what life was like for working-class families

0:31:38 > 0:31:40over the past 100 years.

0:31:40 > 0:31:42That was tripe, by the way. Good morning.

0:31:42 > 0:31:45Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

0:31:45 > 0:31:47The EU's Chief Negotiator, Michel Barnier, will be

0:31:47 > 0:31:50in Downing Street today for talks about a possible transitional period

0:31:50 > 0:31:51after Britain leaves the EU.

0:31:51 > 0:31:55He'll meet the Brexit Secretary David Davis in the first of a series

0:31:55 > 0:31:56of discussions this week.

0:31:56 > 0:31:58It comes after the Government indicated it remains determined

0:31:58 > 0:32:02to leave the European Customs Union when Brexit takes place next year.

0:32:02 > 0:32:05A new ring-fenced tax to fund the NHS and social care in England

0:32:05 > 0:32:07has been proposed by a panel of health experts.

0:32:07 > 0:32:09The panel, set up by the Liberal Democrats,

0:32:09 > 0:32:12says the NHS in England should be given an extra four billion pounds.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15The government says it prioritsed NHS funding at the last Budget,

0:32:15 > 0:32:23providing two billion pounds for social care.

0:32:27 > 0:32:29Customers of the Lloyds Banking group have been banned

0:32:29 > 0:32:32from using their credit cards to buy virtual currencies such as Bitcoin.

0:32:32 > 0:32:35The decision affects all account holders with Lloyds Bank,

0:32:35 > 0:32:36Bank of Scotland, Halifax and MBNA.

0:32:36 > 0:32:39The group says it's protecting customers from running up debts

0:32:39 > 0:32:46they could never repay.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49The sole surviving suspect behind the Paris terror attacks in 2015

0:32:49 > 0:32:51will go on trial in Belgium today.

0:32:51 > 0:32:53Salah Abdeslam faces charges relating to a shootout he had

0:32:53 > 0:32:56with police while on the run in Belgium in 2016.

0:32:56 > 0:32:59He faces a second trial relating to his involvement in the Paris

0:32:59 > 0:33:07attacks at a later date.

0:33:14 > 0:33:19It could be one of the coldest weeks of the year. Snowy has led to a

0:33:19 > 0:33:25serious accident in Kent this morning already. This was taken by

0:33:25 > 0:33:30police on the M20. No one has been seriously injured and the motorway

0:33:30 > 0:33:36has been cleared.

0:33:37 > 0:33:43has been cleared. There are yellow warnings for ice on many highways.

0:33:43 > 0:33:46Mothers are being hit by a long-term pay penalty if they work part-time

0:33:46 > 0:33:49while looking after children, according to a new study.

0:33:49 > 0:33:52By the time their first child reaches the age of 20,

0:33:52 > 0:33:54mothers earn around 30% less than similarly educated fathers,

0:33:54 > 0:33:57because they don't benefit from pay rises associated

0:33:57 > 0:34:04with having more experience.

0:34:15 > 0:34:18A new mental health campaign to encourage children "to be

0:34:18 > 0:34:20comfortable in their own skin" is being supported

0:34:20 > 0:34:21by The Duchess of Cambridge.

0:34:21 > 0:34:24Her Royal Highness, Kate Middleton is pregnant with her third child

0:34:24 > 0:34:27and says adults should help encourage children to be the best

0:34:27 > 0:34:28versions of themselves.

0:34:28 > 0:34:32Again, we will bring you that later on. OK? That is twice we have missed

0:34:32 > 0:34:34it.

0:34:34 > 0:34:39The Super Bowl. It comes around faster every year.It surprised me.

0:34:39 > 0:34:47I know it is this time, but it snuck up on me. I have to be honest, many

0:34:47 > 0:34:53people will have no idea what is going on. It is such a spectacle.

0:34:53 > 0:35:01Some people were talking about how it was a great try. But, no, it is a

0:35:01 > 0:35:06touchdown.Many people will have stayed up all night and watched it

0:35:06 > 0:35:13all year.Some brilliant pictures of people having

0:35:26 > 0:35:28people having Super Bowl parties, with chips, chip bowls... I don't

0:35:28 > 0:35:32know if that is what it is called. Imagine if it was Saturday night! We

0:35:32 > 0:35:37can all watch it!I don't think they will just listen to you.I will

0:35:37 > 0:35:50write them a strong e-mail.

0:35:51 > 0:35:53write them a strong e-mail. The Philadelphia Eagles won for the

0:35:53 > 0:35:55first time, beating the favourites and defending champions, the New

0:35:55 > 0:36:03England Patriots. This touchdown will be shown a billion times.

0:36:06 > 0:36:07will be shown a billion times. Nick Foles, the first quarterback to

0:36:07 > 0:36:10throw and catch touchdowns in Super Bowl history.

0:36:10 > 0:36:13He only came into the side towards the end of the season

0:36:13 > 0:36:14as an injury replacement.

0:36:14 > 0:36:21Time stops. I get to celebrate this with my wife and daughter. She has

0:36:21 > 0:36:27been there through everything, so has my family. To celebrate this

0:36:27 > 0:36:33moment, that is what it is about. I am just grateful, you know?

0:36:33 > 0:36:37Let me hear you, Minneapolis!

0:36:37 > 0:36:40And as always the half time show didn't fail to disappoint,

0:36:40 > 0:36:42as Justin Timberlake wowed the crowds.

0:36:42 > 0:36:52A 12 minute performance that included a tribute to Prince. That

0:36:52 > 0:37:0013-year-old boy could be the most popular person at his school today,

0:37:00 > 0:37:02getting a selfie with the star as well.

0:37:02 > 0:37:05In the women's Six Nations, England put in a huge second

0:37:05 > 0:37:08performance to beat Italy 42 points to seven.

0:37:08 > 0:37:11England Captain Sarah Hunter went over for a hat-trick of tries

0:37:11 > 0:37:18helping her team secure the bonus point.

0:37:20 > 0:37:28These are some of the tries.

0:38:18 > 0:38:25When you have that, who needs the Super Bowl? We look forward to it

0:38:25 > 0:38:28all year. Sometimes the opening weekend can be lacklustre, but that

0:38:28 > 0:38:34was awesome.Disappointing for Scotland. Such high hopes. Just

0:38:34 > 0:38:40blown away by Wales.The first ten minutes, I don't know about you, but

0:38:40 > 0:38:44I had so much hope with all the momentum. It is just so

0:38:44 > 0:38:50disappointing for them yet again to fall upon the sword of Wales. They

0:38:50 > 0:38:55just took those chances. There were so many of them. That is what it

0:38:55 > 0:39:03comes down to. Still, plenty more. We will see. Plenty more in the

0:39:03 > 0:39:09tournament to come.I made my children sit down and watch it. I

0:39:09 > 0:39:15wanted them to appreciate it.Did it work?They all walked off two

0:39:15 > 0:39:22minutes before Jonny Sexton... Towards the end?The beautiful drop

0:39:22 > 0:39:30goal.It was incredible.As in Ireland send...They did well!It

0:39:30 > 0:39:39lasted ten minute. -- As an Ireland fan. I am not joking, I nearly fell

0:39:39 > 0:39:46off the sofa in the last ten minutes. It was just incredible.

0:39:46 > 0:39:54Jonny Sexton, getting all of the points for Ireland. A great start.

0:39:56 > 0:40:00Ireland and Italy next week. Then England and Wales at Twickenham.

0:40:00 > 0:40:02In the women's Six Nations, England put in a huge second

0:40:02 > 0:40:05performance to beat Italy 42 points to seven.

0:40:05 > 0:40:08England Captain Sarah Hunter went over for a hat-trick of tries

0:40:08 > 0:40:10helping her team secure the bonus point.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13An absolutely amazing game at Anfield yesterday then.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15Two injury time goals, two Spurs penalties: one offside

0:40:15 > 0:40:18and missed, and the second, Harry Kane's 100th Premier League

0:40:18 > 0:40:25goal.

0:40:25 > 0:40:29And before all of that came one of the goals of the season.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31Substitute Victory Wanyama smashing home an equaliser with ten

0:40:31 > 0:40:32minutes to go.

0:40:32 > 0:40:34That cancelled out Mo Salah's earlier stirke, only

0:40:34 > 0:40:37for the Egyptian to wriggle through and score this brilliant

0:40:37 > 0:40:42goal at the end.

0:40:42 > 0:40:45But there was still time for a second Spurs penalty.

0:40:45 > 0:40:48Kane had one saved a few minutes before, but with the last kick

0:40:48 > 0:40:51of the game he made it 100 not out!

0:40:51 > 0:40:59A breathless and controversial 2-2 draw.

0:41:03 > 0:41:13Crystal Palace came from behind to draw 1-1. It moves them up to 14.

0:41:13 > 0:41:24Newcastle are at 16th.So much sport and so much controversy.We need to

0:41:24 > 0:41:31give you more time.

0:41:32 > 0:41:39There are calls to look at the future of health and social care in

0:41:39 > 0:41:42England.With pressures on the health service is increasing, they

0:41:42 > 0:41:45say a levy is the only way to guarantee the long-term future of

0:41:45 > 0:41:50the NHS. We have the former chair of the Royal College of GPs with us,

0:41:50 > 0:42:03and she joins us now.Give us more detail. First, explained the

0:42:04 > 0:42:12ringfence tax. -- explain.The NHS is funded through general taxation.

0:42:12 > 0:42:18The problem we have is we go from feast to famine. It follows a

0:42:18 > 0:42:24political cycle. Before elections, we get offered lots of freebies. And

0:42:24 > 0:42:29now there is serious strain on the NHS to be we looked at the evidence

0:42:29 > 0:42:36and it appeared the best solution was to put

0:42:39 > 0:42:43was to put together a ringfence tax, like the BBC TV licence. It would be

0:42:43 > 0:42:47fuelled by general taxation, ideally through an increased taxation for

0:42:47 > 0:42:49the immediate crisis, but also through reform of national

0:42:49 > 0:42:55insurance. I did not know when I started on this committee when I

0:42:55 > 0:43:00reached the age of 60 I would pay reduced contributions even though I

0:43:00 > 0:43:09am working, and over 65, I would pay nothing. Money could be raised by a

0:43:09 > 0:43:16reform of the national insurance. This would create the hypothecation.

0:43:16 > 0:43:19We can see some pictures of demonstrations in London with

0:43:19 > 0:43:24thousands demonstrating for increased funding for the NHS. Do

0:43:24 > 0:43:30you feel the public support for the change exists?It does. You could

0:43:30 > 0:43:35see on your pay slip how much was going to the NHS social care tax. It

0:43:35 > 0:43:40is much more transparent. If there is not enough money in this bucket,

0:43:40 > 0:43:44fund, then the public would know this. This would be coming back to

0:43:44 > 0:43:49the BBC. If there is not enough money to pay for new productions, we

0:43:49 > 0:43:55can have that debate. At the moment, it all seems so murky. We have been

0:43:55 > 0:44:01told the NHS has more money than it ever required. Then we are told that

0:44:01 > 0:44:05has not got enough money. Is on me as a GP, it sometimes makes no

0:44:05 > 0:44:14sense. -- even me as a GP. To even debate should we be investing in

0:44:14 > 0:44:17expensive cancer treatment if there is not enough money, it is something

0:44:17 > 0:44:22we as the public can begin to look at and to understand in a much

0:44:22 > 0:44:27better way.I know money is the main focus, but did you think that, as

0:44:27 > 0:44:32members of the public, we need to perhaps change perceptions of the

0:44:32 > 0:44:39NHS perhaps expectations as well. Use them more sparingly?

0:44:39 > 0:44:46I have reached this age not blaming people, when you are unwell, when we

0:44:46 > 0:44:51as a GP think it is to deal, I think people take the NHS for granted and

0:44:51 > 0:44:55I think in particular those of my age who have never known anything

0:44:55 > 0:45:01else, I think we do overuse it so some respect, but actually the NHS

0:45:01 > 0:45:05doesn't have enough money. Under the government has put more money in

0:45:05 > 0:45:10year but with health inflation rising at about 4% per year may be

0:45:10 > 0:45:15because of clever scientist creating new treatment, we are living longer

0:45:15 > 0:45:20and healthier, our expectations are increasing, so I think it is

0:45:20 > 0:45:25important that we understand the NHS is in the wasteful service, it

0:45:25 > 0:45:29creates a healthy population and continues to do so but if we want it

0:45:29 > 0:45:33we have to fund it and if we don't want it, that is a decision we

0:45:33 > 0:45:37should make the population and this new form of taxation, the ring-fence

0:45:37 > 0:45:41will make it a lot easier.Thank you so much for your time this morning,

0:45:41 > 0:45:46good to speak to you. I'm sure this will be greatly discussed by our

0:45:46 > 0:45:49viewers. One other thing, we would love to get your comments, the

0:45:49 > 0:45:53government said it would double the immigration health surcharge which

0:45:53 > 0:45:58is that has raised 220 million pounds, this is what the temporary

0:45:58 > 0:46:03migrants pay when they come to the UK, it is £400 now, that will bring

0:46:03 > 0:46:07in some more money. I'm sure lots of you want to talk about which you

0:46:07 > 0:46:11like to have this idea, this particular, it would be noted on

0:46:11 > 0:46:15your pay slip, how much is going to the NHS. Would you like that? What

0:46:15 > 0:46:25do you think is the mark contact us. -- what do you think? I was trying

0:46:25 > 0:46:31to get it on the screen. I don't have all of the power, yet! Talking

0:46:31 > 0:46:34about the weather this morning because there are yellow weather

0:46:34 > 0:46:38warning of snow and ice for large parts of the country. Particularly I

0:46:38 > 0:46:43think in south Wales and south-east England? Carol? If people are going

0:46:43 > 0:46:44on the roads this morning,

0:46:44 > 0:46:45England? Carol? If people are going on the roads this morning, plenty to

0:46:45 > 0:46:50think about. Absolutely, good morning, some snow around, it has

0:46:50 > 0:46:55been falling overnight across Kent, Essex, East Anglia, Sussex for

0:46:55 > 0:46:59example and also some snow across eastern England. And with low

0:46:59 > 0:47:03temperatures, the temperature fell to -5.7 in Kingsbridge in Northern

0:47:03 > 0:47:07Ireland, widespread frost and the risk of ice and this week too all of

0:47:07 > 0:47:11its still in the forecast and it will remain cold. This morning you

0:47:11 > 0:47:15can see where we have the snow showers, some across Scotland and

0:47:15 > 0:47:19northern Ireland but not so many, drifting further west we have some

0:47:19 > 0:47:24clear skies. It is cold, a risk of ice, frost. In the Midlands towards

0:47:24 > 0:47:28the south a wee bit more cloud but those temperatures at ATM, look at

0:47:28 > 0:47:34those. Still freezing or below. The snow across the south-east will blow

0:47:34 > 0:47:38a little by the west, through the course of the day, though showers at

0:47:38 > 0:47:42the east coast of England but there are showers rather than a band of

0:47:42 > 0:47:45snow is so we're not all seeing them. One or two across Northern

0:47:45 > 0:47:49Ireland, as you could across Scotland, but for most of us the

0:47:49 > 0:47:53picture this morning is dry and cold. We will also see wintry as

0:47:53 > 0:47:57develop across parts of the south-west of England with a slight

0:47:57 > 0:48:03show as to the Midlands and into parts of Wales but for most, dry,

0:48:03 > 0:48:08bright, and some sunshine. We are hanging onto the key north-easterly

0:48:08 > 0:48:12wind so wherever you are it will feel cold but these temperatures, no

0:48:12 > 0:48:15great shakes. Later the winds will pick up across the north-west

0:48:15 > 0:48:19heralding the arrival of the next weather front which initially will

0:48:19 > 0:48:23bring in some rain to go through this evening what you will find it

0:48:23 > 0:48:27with the cold air and probably a mixture of sleet and snow readily

0:48:27 > 0:48:30falling across Scotland, Northern Ireland, northern England and also

0:48:30 > 0:48:35eventually into Wales. Ahead of it, cold, the rest of us, some patchy

0:48:35 > 0:48:39fog and behind it, cold with the risk of ice and wintry showers. We

0:48:39 > 0:48:43start off tomorrow with the weather front continuing its defence south

0:48:43 > 0:48:48eastwards. Bringing snow with it as it does so. It will tend to fizzle

0:48:48 > 0:48:52as we go through the course of the morning, becoming more of a band of

0:48:52 > 0:48:57cloud, maybe some sleep, but behind it still cold, still wintry showers,

0:48:57 > 0:49:01some sunshine and cloud building ahead of it but we aren't done with

0:49:01 > 0:49:04it yet on Tuesday because as temperatures dropped and we head

0:49:04 > 0:49:07into the evening this weather front will actually reinvigorate so as we

0:49:07 > 0:49:11go through the night time we will have a mixture of rain, sleet and

0:49:11 > 0:49:15snow, maybe some thunder and lightning. This continues to push

0:49:15 > 0:49:18down into the south-east and also East Anglia so if you are

0:49:18 > 0:49:28travelling, are that in mind. -- bear that. Average of high pressure

0:49:28 > 0:49:31settle things down and then the next system comes, dry weather although

0:49:31 > 0:49:35it will still be cold. On the leading edge of the front you can

0:49:35 > 0:49:40see some snow. In comes the rain and behind it, some snow and the risk of

0:49:40 > 0:49:44ice. There is so much going on with the weather forecast this week and

0:49:44 > 0:49:45we are

0:49:45 > 0:49:47the weather forecast this week and we are only two Wednesday! It will

0:49:47 > 0:49:53be pretty traumatic, thank you, we will teach in touch. Jacinta Carroll

0:49:53 > 0:49:57through the morning for the latest updates and worth checking the BBC

0:49:57 > 0:50:09website. -- do stay in touch with carols. Sean is with us once again.

0:50:09 > 0:50:14Housing, infrastructure, can we build them? Good morning. If you

0:50:14 > 0:50:18work in construction there could be a big demand to your skills in the

0:50:18 > 0:50:20coming years with the construction industry training board reckoning

0:50:20 > 0:50:27150,000 jobs would need to be filled over the next few years, 15,000

0:50:27 > 0:50:30carpenters, 10,000 labourers, and more but the crucial question, other

0:50:30 > 0:50:35rough people with the right skills to build those homes and

0:50:35 > 0:50:42infrastructure that we need. Let's talk to Stephen Bradley. 150,000

0:50:42 > 0:50:47workers are needed, either in the pipeline?The thing is we have a

0:50:47 > 0:50:50good opportunity to plan ahead and we know we have big projects coming

0:50:50 > 0:50:56up such as high-speed through, nuclear build, so the plants in

0:50:56 > 0:51:00Wales, and also be a thing the government 's ambitions for more

0:51:00 > 0:51:04home buildings which gives us the opportunity to plan ahead and what

0:51:04 > 0:51:08we are seeing is a range of roles being created, some of the more

0:51:08 > 0:51:12traditional he would proceed with construction like bricklayers,

0:51:12 > 0:51:17carpenters, plasterers, painters, but also a lot of roles for civil

0:51:17 > 0:51:19engineers, surveyors, project managers and increasingly as the

0:51:19 > 0:51:28industry modernises, modelling projects, analysing data.So if do

0:51:28 > 0:51:33-- is there a skills shortage?They are reporting their ears but I think

0:51:33 > 0:51:37it is more about the fact that we have a few years to plan ahead, we

0:51:37 > 0:51:39can start investing in more apprenticeships, working with

0:51:39 > 0:51:42schools to alert people to the opportunities and providing more

0:51:42 > 0:51:49work experience.The industry think, 150,000 jobs created, will they be

0:51:49 > 0:51:52filled all will be looking at a point where we actually don't have

0:51:52 > 0:51:56the workers to build the houses? There is always that pressure, if we

0:51:56 > 0:52:00see more confidence from the industry that some of the targets

0:52:00 > 0:52:03will be met such as the housing ambition, more of the small

0:52:03 > 0:52:07employers they do the work will have the confidence to invest in the

0:52:07 > 0:52:11skills. I think we can take some confidence from the fact that we

0:52:11 > 0:52:13have had a lot of success with placing apprenticeships are lost

0:52:13 > 0:52:17their jobs because of the collapse of Carillion, that was obviously a

0:52:17 > 0:52:20sad event but what we have seen is more than half of these vacancies

0:52:20 > 0:52:24have already been filled, there are lots of interviews coming on the

0:52:24 > 0:52:27industry is stepping up and have an appetite to invest in

0:52:27 > 0:52:31apprenticeships and I think it gives you a cause for confidence.It is

0:52:31 > 0:52:34good for apprentices at Carillion but some reports out this morning

0:52:34 > 0:52:37about Carillion saying there will be wider consequences and you may see

0:52:37 > 0:52:41or smaller construction firms going bust because of the contracts they

0:52:41 > 0:52:46had with Carillion themselves.Are you seeing a bit of that? There is a

0:52:46 > 0:52:49concern with that because the industry is dominated by small

0:52:49 > 0:52:54firms, 98% of them are not employees or less we need to watch that

0:52:54 > 0:52:57closely, there isn't a lot of evidence so far but we will monitor

0:52:57 > 0:53:05that.Stephen, thank you. Carillion apprentices, there are about 1400 of

0:53:05 > 0:53:09them, about half of managed to find new roles and new apprentices

0:53:09 > 0:53:15elsewhere so -- apprenticeships elsewhere. Good luck to the rest of

0:53:15 > 0:53:16them, thank you.

0:53:16 > 0:53:19They went in to the game calling themselves the underdogs

0:53:19 > 0:53:22but the Philadelphia Eagles caused a stunning upset overnight,

0:53:22 > 0:53:25beating the New England Patriots to win their first Super Bowl.

0:53:25 > 0:53:27The singer Justin Timberlake provided a dazzling half-time show

0:53:27 > 0:53:29but the action on the field outshone the showbiz.

0:53:29 > 0:53:32Let's take a look at last night's action.

0:53:32 > 0:53:34Meg Oliver is a correspondent with the American network CBS.

0:53:34 > 0:53:39She joins us now from Minneapolis where the game took place.

0:53:39 > 0:53:43My goodness me, you can see there has been a proper party! How

0:53:43 > 0:53:51wonderful! We at the UK love an underdog winning.So do we and I

0:53:51 > 0:53:55have to tell you, take a look at this because this party is still

0:53:55 > 0:54:00going on to quite a few people over there. Look at the field, it is

0:54:00 > 0:54:03strewn with confetti, people have been doing snow angels in the

0:54:03 > 0:54:07confetti, guess you would call them football angels, it was an epic

0:54:07 > 0:54:11game, the underdog, the Philadelphia Eagles came into their first Super

0:54:11 > 0:54:15Bowl victory and then they are up against a dynastic, the New England

0:54:15 > 0:54:18Patriot, trying to secure their sixth victory, this game had people

0:54:18 > 0:54:24in the stands on their feet the entire time -- dynasty. It came down

0:54:24 > 0:54:29to an exciting and where we saw the new, excuse me, Philadelphia Eagles

0:54:29 > 0:54:32quarterback when the MVP, he has three touchdown, court one himself,

0:54:32 > 0:54:37the crowd and crazy and some of those Eagles fans couldn't put the

0:54:37 > 0:54:42emotions into words. And MVP means most valuable player and he was new

0:54:42 > 0:54:48to the team in some ways, Nick Foles? Louise Crawford he was on the

0:54:48 > 0:54:52bench from most of the season! Are starting quarterback was injured, he

0:54:52 > 0:54:56stepped up and completely blew everybody away. He was the underdog

0:54:56 > 0:55:01coming into this. Illustrate that point a little bit, a lot of those

0:55:01 > 0:55:05Eagles fans came he wearing dog masks, you know, and they embraced

0:55:05 > 0:55:10the underdog spirit and they really came in and Nick Foles had precise

0:55:10 > 0:55:13passes, there were some unbelievable catches on both sides and the

0:55:13 > 0:55:18defence was over the top. This was a game for the record books.It is, we

0:55:18 > 0:55:22know that many millions of people watch it and Justin Timberlake was

0:55:22 > 0:55:28on at half-time, we know things go wrong on this but it didn't.No, it

0:55:28 > 0:55:32didn't! There was a lot of talk about it because as you know this

0:55:32 > 0:55:36was his third appearance at the half-time show at the Super Bowl and

0:55:36 > 0:55:40back in 2004 was the infamous wardrobe malfunction, everyone was a

0:55:40 > 0:55:45little nervous, who was he going to bring out, but he came in, he

0:55:45 > 0:55:49dazzled the crowd and he also had a duet when he played the piano with

0:55:49 > 0:55:53Prince, Prince is from Minneapolis, some social media users were put off

0:55:53 > 0:55:57by that but I would say over raw here in the US bank stadium at one

0:55:57 > 0:56:01was pleased, it was quite a show. Give us a atmosphere because in the

0:56:01 > 0:56:05UK many people would have been watching but this is really an event

0:56:05 > 0:56:11in the States, isn't it?This is a huge event, this is when everyone in

0:56:11 > 0:56:15America basically bombs over potato chips and BR. They come together,

0:56:15 > 0:56:19there are parties in homes across the country and bars. -- bonds.

0:56:19 > 0:56:23Everyone stops or they are doing to watch because it isn't about four

0:56:23 > 0:56:30all, there is the half-time extravaganza and there is pop star

0:56:30 > 0:56:36Pink! Who sang the national and some, the rest of it or something

0:56:36 > 0:56:39for everybody but this year, the game definitely was the main

0:56:39 > 0:56:44attraction.Lovely to speak to you, with luck to everyone who has to

0:56:44 > 0:56:50clean that up!

0:56:50 > 0:56:54If you are bleary eyed this morning after watching the Super Bowl, a

0:56:54 > 0:56:59lovely day, I wish you were here. If you are waking up and feeling the

0:56:59 > 0:57:03cold, Carol will have a full explanation of what to watch out for

0:57:03 > 1:00:24and how this could be one of the coldest weeks of the year.

1:00:24 > 1:00:26in half an hour.

1:00:26 > 1:00:28Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

1:00:28 > 1:00:33Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

1:00:33 > 1:00:34Hello.

1:00:34 > 1:00:35A very good morning.

1:00:35 > 1:00:37This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:00:37 > 1:00:40The start of a crucial week of Brexit talks.

1:00:40 > 1:00:43As the EU's Chief Negotiator arrives in London, Downing Street moves

1:00:43 > 1:00:51to shore up divisions in the Conservative party.

1:01:00 > 1:01:01Good morning.

1:01:01 > 1:01:02It's Monday the fifth of February.

1:01:02 > 1:01:03Also this morning:

1:01:03 > 1:01:06A man suspected of carrying out the terror attacks that killed 130

1:01:06 > 1:01:13people in Paris three years ago, is going on trial in Belgium.

1:01:13 > 1:01:15The Duchess of Cambridge isses a personal message calling

1:01:15 > 1:01:22on parents and teachers to help children feel happy with themselves.

1:01:22 > 1:01:25Whether we are school leaders, teachers, support staff, or parents,

1:01:25 > 1:01:27we each have a crucial role to play.

1:01:29 > 1:01:30Good morning.

1:01:30 > 1:01:33One of our big name banks has banned customers from buying controversial

1:01:33 > 1:01:35cryptocurrency Bitcoin on their credit cards.

1:01:35 > 1:01:38I'm looking at why they've done it and what it means

1:01:38 > 1:01:39for eight million customers.

1:01:39 > 1:01:42And in sport, a suprise win for the underdogs in America's Super

1:01:42 > 1:01:43Bowl.

1:01:43 > 1:01:44The Philadelphia Eagles beat the favourites,

1:01:44 > 1:01:46the New England Patriots, by 40 to 33.

1:01:46 > 1:01:53It's the first time they've won the title.

1:01:53 > 1:01:56Let me hear you, Minneapolis!

1:01:56 > 1:01:59And Justin Timberlake wows the crowds at half time.

1:01:59 > 1:02:06ending up dancing in the crowd.

1:02:06 > 1:02:09It could be one of the coldest weeks of the winter.

1:02:09 > 1:02:13It could be one of the coldest weeks of the winter. Good morning. A risk

1:02:13 > 1:02:19of ice. A covering of snow, especially in the south-east.

1:02:19 > 1:02:23Sunshine in eastern areas. Some in the south-west. Later on tonight,

1:02:23 > 1:02:31rain and snow. More detailed in 15 minutes. Thank you. -- detail. The

1:02:31 > 1:02:34main story.

1:02:34 > 1:02:37The EU's Chief Negotiator, Michel Barnier, will visit

1:02:37 > 1:02:39Downing Street today for talks about a possible transitional period

1:02:39 > 1:02:41after Britain leaves the European Union.

1:02:41 > 1:02:43The Government has indicated it remains determined to leave

1:02:43 > 1:02:45the European Customs Union after Brexit.

1:02:45 > 1:02:48The move is seen as an attempt to defuse a growing row

1:02:48 > 1:02:56within the Conservative Party.

1:03:08 > 1:03:14We should talk about that in a few moments, including the infighting

1:03:14 > 1:03:20with the Tory party in Brussels. There is

1:03:20 > 1:03:21with the Tory party in Brussels. There is a lot to discuss this

1:03:21 > 1:03:24morning.

1:03:24 > 1:03:27A new ring-fenced tax to fund the NHS and social care in England

1:03:27 > 1:03:30has been proposed by a panel of health experts.

1:03:30 > 1:03:32The panel, commissioned by the Liberal Democrats

1:03:32 > 1:03:35which includes the former head of NHS England Sir David Nicholson,

1:03:35 > 1:03:37has also recommended a return of caps on personal payments

1:03:37 > 1:03:38for adult social care.

1:03:38 > 1:03:40Here's our health editor, Hugh Pym.

1:03:40 > 1:03:42Thousands of demonstrators marched through London at the weekend,

1:03:42 > 1:03:44calling for increased funding for the NHS.

1:03:44 > 1:03:46Health unions joined other campaigners, arguing

1:03:46 > 1:03:48there was a winter crisis which needed urgent

1:03:48 > 1:03:49action and investment.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52Today, a report from health experts including the former head of NHS

1:03:52 > 1:04:00England has called for new answers to NHS funding problems.

1:04:00 > 1:04:02The report commissioned by the Liberal Democrats calls

1:04:02 > 1:04:06for an extra £4 billion on top of inflation for the NHS in England

1:04:06 > 1:04:09in the next financial year, more than double the increase

1:04:09 > 1:04:11announced in the budget, a single, ring-fenced tax for health

1:04:11 > 1:04:14and social care replacing national insurance, and reinstating

1:04:14 > 1:04:17a commitment to cap the costs paid by individuals for social care.

1:04:17 > 1:04:20The report argues that higher funding needed for health and care

1:04:20 > 1:04:23should come through increased taxation, and that this will be more

1:04:23 > 1:04:26transparent if there is a dedicated tax for this purpose.

1:04:29 > 1:04:36It is not a waste of a service. We have to fund it. As a population, we

1:04:36 > 1:04:40have to make this decision. This form of taxation would make it

1:04:40 > 1:04:44easier.

1:04:44 > 1:04:46Longer waiting lists and rationing for some treatments,

1:04:46 > 1:04:49it says, are undermining the key principles of the NHS.

1:04:49 > 1:04:52In response, the Department of Health and Social Care said

1:04:52 > 1:04:55the NHS had been prioritised in the budget, and an extra £2

1:04:55 > 1:05:03billion had already been provided for social care in England.

1:05:11 > 1:05:14Customers of the Lloyds Banking Group have been banned from buying

1:05:14 > 1:05:16crypto currencies like Bitcoin.

1:05:16 > 1:05:17They say they are protecting 8 million

1:05:17 > 1:05:25customers from getting debt they could not repay.

1:05:26 > 1:05:37First, you have heard about it a lot. But what is it? What is Bitcoin

1:05:37 > 1:05:43it is a cryptocurrency, a digital currency, a virtual currency, only

1:05:43 > 1:05:51on the Internet.There are no notes, no coins. It is not like a normal

1:05:51 > 1:05:57currency with a Central Bank. They are alike computer files. One

1:05:57 > 1:06:04Bitcoin is like a single computer file. It is generated by complicated

1:06:04 > 1:06:11mathematics, like encryption technology. That is what it is,

1:06:11 > 1:06:16Internet currency. It is being used more and more around the world.

1:06:16 > 1:06:20Businesses and people are taking it as a currency in exchange for goods

1:06:20 > 1:06:25and services. That is why it has increased in the last few years. It

1:06:25 > 1:06:32is still very volatile.And Lloyds is stopping people from buying it?

1:06:32 > 1:06:41One year ago one Bitcoin was £700, that is like the exchange rate.

1:06:41 > 1:06:46November last year, £13,000, a huge increase. Many people would have

1:06:46 > 1:06:52made a lot of money. They thought this could be a good way to make a

1:06:52 > 1:06:56return. But prices can go down as well as up. It fell to less than

1:06:56 > 1:07:02£6,000. People trying to get in on the act on a credit card could lose

1:07:02 > 1:07:07a lot of money very quickly. Lloyds is worried they could not pay it

1:07:07 > 1:07:11back and could foot the bill. They have said you cannot buy it any more

1:07:11 > 1:07:21on your credit card, or any other Cooper currency.Thank you.

1:07:21 > 1:07:24The sole surviving suspect behind the Paris terror attacks in 2015

1:07:24 > 1:07:26will go on trial in Belgium today.

1:07:26 > 1:07:29Salah Abdeslam faces charges relating to a shoot-out he had

1:07:29 > 1:07:31with police while on the run in Belgium in 2016.

1:07:31 > 1:07:35He faces a second trial relating to his involvement in the Paris

1:07:35 > 1:07:40attacks at a later date.

1:07:40 > 1:07:45He is not actually facing charges to do with the attacks in Paris.He is

1:07:45 > 1:07:52not. That is expected in two years' time. Since that time, on the Friday

1:07:52 > 1:07:56night, the 13th of November, when he was pictured going to and coming

1:07:56 > 1:08:00away from the scene on CCTV camera at a service station, especially on

1:08:00 > 1:08:06the way back. He is the last suspect who was thought to have been among

1:08:06 > 1:08:10those present, the last to have information about what happened that

1:08:10 > 1:08:17night, the

1:08:17 > 1:08:20night, the link to the cell that killed 130 at the Bataclan. Four

1:08:20 > 1:08:25months after that, he was the most wanted man of Europe, he was

1:08:25 > 1:08:31discovered here near the criminal court in Brussels. The police were

1:08:31 > 1:08:36carrying out a random search and thought it was an empty house. They

1:08:36 > 1:08:43suspected they could be evidence and came under serious fire by four men.

1:08:43 > 1:08:48Allowed

1:08:59 > 1:09:03Allowed -- They fired on the police, and Salah, along with another man,

1:09:03 > 1:09:06escaped by roof. They were found close to his family home. It is four

1:09:06 > 1:09:11days after

1:09:13 > 1:09:16days after that there was an attack at Brussels Airport. This is

1:09:16 > 1:09:21possibly the first time we will hear him in court. 200 officers are

1:09:21 > 1:09:24expected to secure the premises today.Thank you. We will follow

1:09:24 > 1:09:29that through the next few days.

1:09:29 > 1:09:32At the begining of what forecasters say could be one of the coldest

1:09:32 > 1:09:35weeks of the winter, snow has led to a series

1:09:35 > 1:09:36of accidents in Kent.

1:09:36 > 1:09:39This was the footage taken by the police as they attended

1:09:39 > 1:09:40the incidents on the M20.

1:09:40 > 1:09:43Luckily no-one was seriously injured and the motorway has

1:09:43 > 1:09:44now been cleared.

1:09:44 > 1:09:47The Met Office has issued yellow warnings of snow and ice for large

1:09:47 > 1:09:53parts of the UK.

1:09:54 > 1:09:58Give yourself some extra time this morning to defrost the car.

1:09:58 > 1:10:01A new mental health campaign to encourage children "to be

1:10:01 > 1:10:03comfortable in their own skin" is being supported

1:10:03 > 1:10:04by The Duchess of Cambridge.

1:10:04 > 1:10:07Her Royal Highness, Kate Middleton is pregnant with her third child

1:10:07 > 1:10:10and says adults should help encourage children to be the best

1:10:10 > 1:10:11versions of themselves.

1:10:11 > 1:10:16Childhood is an incredibly important moment in our lives, it is a time

1:10:16 > 1:10:19when we explore our personalities, discover the potential that lies

1:10:19 > 1:10:26within us, and

1:10:26 > 1:10:29within us, and learn how we be ourselves. Our experience of the

1:10:29 > 1:10:33world at this early stage shapes who we become as adults and how to be

1:10:33 > 1:10:36comfortable in our own skin. Whether we are school leaders, teachers, or

1:10:36 > 1:10:40a support staff or parents, we each have a crucial role to play. When we

1:10:40 > 1:10:45are open and honest with each other about the challenges we face, we can

1:10:45 > 1:10:49work together to ensure the children in our care have the chance to

1:10:49 > 1:10:55become the best versions of themselves.

1:10:55 > 1:10:58Take a look at these dramatic pictures of a sea rescue

1:10:58 > 1:10:59from the RNLI.

1:10:59 > 1:11:02The woman you can see there in the water, was perched

1:11:02 > 1:11:05on top of a submerged car, after she became stranded on a beach

1:11:05 > 1:11:08on the Cumbrian coast as the tide was coming in.

1:11:08 > 1:11:11The woman was forced to climb on to the top of her vehicle

1:11:11 > 1:11:14to escape rising sea water between Mawbray and Beckfoot.

1:11:14 > 1:11:16She was eventually rescued by the lifeboat and treated

1:11:16 > 1:11:17for hypothermia.

1:11:17 > 1:11:24The RNLI said she had a lucky escape.

1:11:25 > 1:11:36You can see how lucky that escape was.I was going to give

1:11:43 > 1:11:46was.I was going to give you a fact, but I can't remember what it is. The

1:11:46 > 1:11:49tidal range... Faster than a galloping horse? I will think about

1:11:49 > 1:11:53it. The main story.

1:11:53 > 1:11:58The Prime Minister and David Davis will speak to the EU chief

1:11:58 > 1:12:06negotiator, Michel Barnier. It could shape the relationship when the UK

1:12:06 > 1:12:16leads the EU. Normally we turned to the screen and say Chris Mason is at

1:12:16 > 1:12:26Westminster. I am delighted to say he is here today.I can talk you

1:12:26 > 1:12:32through some of the dramatic people of the Brexit process, the central

1:12:32 > 1:12:37characters, absolutely central, especially this person, you hear a

1:12:37 > 1:12:42lot about him, here he is. Michel Barnier. Good morning. A digital

1:12:42 > 1:12:50cardboard cutout. He leads the negotiations for the EU. He is from

1:12:50 > 1:12:56East France.

1:12:57 > 1:13:00East France. He was a Europe minister for France during the

1:13:00 > 1:13:071990s. Why am I mentioning that? When he was doing that gig, he

1:13:07 > 1:13:12bumped into a certain David Davis. They go back a long way. At the

1:13:12 > 1:13:24time, he was John Major is' Europe minister. -- Major's. They are

1:13:24 > 1:13:27having lunch today in Downing Street talking about Brexit, especially the

1:13:27 > 1:13:34transition period. It looks like the UK will negotiate for the two year

1:13:34 > 1:13:39period starting from March next year. The Prime Minister will join

1:13:39 > 1:13:46them, not unusual, because she lives there. She will meet with Michel

1:13:46 > 1:13:49Barnier. Another character who will not be there but we'll be in

1:13:49 > 1:13:55cardboard cutout form, is not digital, is Jacob Rees-Mogg. --

1:13:55 > 1:14:01will. He is on the air the whole time talking about Brexit. He chairs

1:14:01 > 1:14:10and important committee...Says the man who is always on the air talking

1:14:10 > 1:14:15about Brexit.You have me there. He is the chair of a group of

1:14:15 > 1:14:20backbenchers who wants to make sure they get a true and clean and pure

1:14:20 > 1:14:23Brexit rather than a mishmash of watered-down compromise, which is

1:14:23 > 1:14:28what they fear. The Prime Minister overnight has reacted to some

1:14:28 > 1:14:32criticism coming from people like Jacob Rees-Mogg talking about the

1:14:32 > 1:14:37notion of the customs union, one of the central point of contention

1:14:37 > 1:14:43around the whole thing. Michel Barnier will be giving a big news

1:14:43 > 1:14:51conference later this week fleshing out where we got used. We

1:14:52 > 1:14:55out where we got used. We will talk about that later.They want us to

1:14:55 > 1:15:03not be part of the or a customs union. The government is having to

1:15:03 > 1:15:10be more clear because of the heat from people like Jacob Rees-Mogg.

1:15:10 > 1:15:16Christopher very popular, isn't it, it has been number one, a Brexit pod

1:15:16 > 1:15:22cast. That is with Adam Pleming who neatly joins us from Brussels. Let's

1:15:22 > 1:15:29talk about the customs union. That news, how will be played out where

1:15:29 > 1:15:35you are?So the UK published a paper in the summer about what it thought

1:15:35 > 1:15:38about customs and gave two options are the future and so people have

1:15:38 > 1:15:41had quite a long time to buy gestating Brussels. They thought it

1:15:41 > 1:15:44was ambitious and didn't quite understand how it would work in

1:15:44 > 1:15:48practice and hadn't really thought about it since then but of course it

1:15:48 > 1:15:51has roared back up the agenda because of all the tough coming on

1:15:51 > 1:15:56at Westminster and EU has different customs unions, different customs

1:15:56 > 1:15:58arrangements that different countries. It has won with Turkey

1:15:58 > 1:16:04that only covers agriculture. It has a smaller one with San Marino. So it

1:16:04 > 1:16:08is possible to have the spoke customs arrangements that aren't the

1:16:08 > 1:16:14custom union that apply to the EU countries. In private, Michel

1:16:14 > 1:16:17Barnier has talked about the possibility of there being some kind

1:16:17 > 1:16:21of customs union with the UK, he was talking to the Northern Ireland

1:16:21 > 1:16:25Select Committee a few weeks ago, and in the minutes, it shows they

1:16:25 > 1:16:29discussed that. At the EU will say what it says all along, the closer

1:16:29 > 1:16:34the UK wants to be to the EU after Brexit, the closer the UK will have

1:16:34 > 1:16:39to stick to the EU's rules, that is what the EU says, and they also say

1:16:39 > 1:16:44it isn't just about customs or about goods crossing borders, various

1:16:44 > 1:16:48tariffs and checks on them as to whether they have paid the right

1:16:48 > 1:16:51import or export duties but also other regulations that go with it,

1:16:51 > 1:16:57things like animal health, plant standards, product safety standards,

1:16:57 > 1:17:01so actually, you would probably still have to check goods crossing

1:17:01 > 1:17:04the border full of those things which means you still might have to

1:17:04 > 1:17:10have the big queues at Port at Dover, depending on what kind of the

1:17:10 > 1:17:14tunnel is, so it is about other things not just goods and that have

1:17:14 > 1:17:18a knock-on effect so there is a debate about how the void a hard

1:17:18 > 1:17:22border between Northern Ireland the Republic of Ireland?While all these

1:17:22 > 1:17:26discussions are going on, you mentioned, there is infighting in

1:17:26 > 1:17:30the Tory party and wonder how that is reflect from a European point of

1:17:30 > 1:17:34view in these discussions.You thought I was nerdy! Adam can really

1:17:34 > 1:17:38go for it when he talks about his minutes and he has lever arch files

1:17:38 > 1:17:43will of position papers and partnership papers! There is nothing

1:17:43 > 1:17:49about Brexit but Adam misses. The conversation is crucial, plenty of

1:17:49 > 1:17:53people, and Adam will say this, plenty in Brussels in positions that

1:17:53 > 1:17:56matter are assiduous readers of British newspapers and British radio

1:17:56 > 1:18:02and TV shows, they know the rows that are going on and there is a

1:18:02 > 1:18:05huge row going on with the Conservatives at the moment but one

1:18:05 > 1:18:09about Theresa May's future, not about Brexit, and that overlap, and

1:18:09 > 1:18:13the challenger Theresa May is to get into the real crunchy bits of these

1:18:13 > 1:18:16Brexit negotiations is that she will try and strive to achieve some

1:18:16 > 1:18:20compromise to accommodate as many people as possible and every time

1:18:20 > 1:18:24she does that, there will be screams from one side or the other that she

1:18:24 > 1:18:30is selling out.Right. I like it when you describe that has crunchy.

1:18:30 > 1:18:37I will bank that complement, it will feature again!

1:18:38 > 1:18:45feature again!Adam,, they are on Brexitcase, on radio life. You can

1:18:45 > 1:18:51download it from their website. Popular and with good reason as

1:18:51 > 1:18:52well.

1:18:52 > 1:18:55It's 7:18.

1:18:55 > 1:18:59It is very chilly, a number of warnings out there.

1:18:59 > 1:19:01Let's find out what that means for you.

1:19:01 > 1:19:02Here's Carol.

1:19:02 > 1:19:03Here's Carol.

1:19:03 > 1:19:08Let's crack on. Good morning, this week 's weather will remain cold,

1:19:08 > 1:19:13cold start as you rightly said, and through the week widespread frost

1:19:13 > 1:19:16and some will season snow and in fact it pretty much holds true for

1:19:16 > 1:19:20what we have at the moment. We have some light snow across parts of

1:19:20 > 1:19:26Kent, Essex, Sussex, East Anglia, snow showers Upper East Coast. West,

1:19:26 > 1:19:30it is dry but nonetheless we could still see a covering of snow across

1:19:30 > 1:19:34parts of Devon and the wintry showers. Towards the east, cloud,

1:19:34 > 1:19:40some breaks, snow showers, and a keen wind. It does really

1:19:40 > 1:19:46accentuates the cold feel. Ayresome Park, from showers, moving west into

1:19:46 > 1:19:49wealth and north-western England and Northern Ireland it is largely dry

1:19:49 > 1:19:52as it is across Scotland but any showers across Scotland are also

1:19:52 > 1:19:56likely to be wintry and don't forget wherever you are risk the risk of

1:19:56 > 1:20:01ice. Through the day the showers in the east will tend to weaken a total

1:20:01 > 1:20:05because if you form across the Midlands in through Wales and other

1:20:05 > 1:20:08mentioned south-west England. A lot of dry weather. Some wintry

1:20:08 > 1:20:13sunshine. But it is winter, it will feel cold. But a richer at the

1:20:13 > 1:20:20moment is minus five. Later, cloud will build in the west, the wind

1:20:20 > 1:20:23will strengthen, some gal forces across north-west Scotland, then

1:20:23 > 1:20:29comes the rain and as it engages with the cold air, it will readily

1:20:29 > 1:20:32fall as snow across Northern Ireland and Scotland, getting into northern

1:20:32 > 1:20:35England and later Wales and behind it, a good rush of wintry showers,

1:20:35 > 1:20:40again the risk of ice wherever you are, and some patchy fog warning

1:20:40 > 1:20:44ahead of the band of rain, sleet and snow. Maybe some lightening as well.

1:20:44 > 1:20:50Through the course of tomorrow, this whole weather front producing this

1:20:50 > 1:20:54sinks South and starts to peter out in touch. The cloud will build ahead

1:20:54 > 1:20:58of it, eradicating the bright start. Heidi, wintry showers around up

1:20:58 > 1:21:02there could be a lot of fun trying and it will feel cold, temperatures

1:21:02 > 1:21:062-4. As we head into the evening, the front continues its journey

1:21:06 > 1:21:11moving towards the south-east, the temperature in the evening will

1:21:11 > 1:21:14drop, it rejuvenates, and what we will find is further snow falling

1:21:14 > 1:21:19across the wash for example in East Anglia and towards London, and in

1:21:19 > 1:21:24the south-east. Again, those are snow showers. Behind, clear skies,

1:21:24 > 1:21:28the risk of ice, another cold night. Tuesday sees the back edge of the

1:21:28 > 1:21:31front clearing away to the continent. A ridge of high pressure

1:21:31 > 1:21:36builds us. The next and then comes in, bringing wet and windy weather.

1:21:36 > 1:21:41Dry weather, a cold day, on the leading edge of the system we are

1:21:41 > 1:21:45likely to see snow and then in comes the rain and behind it we can see

1:21:45 > 1:21:48further snow showers and again, the risk of ice. Generally 3- five

1:21:48 > 1:21:53degrees. Thank you, Carol. See

1:21:53 > 1:21:54risk of ice. Generally 3- five degrees. Thank you, Carol. See you

1:21:54 > 1:21:58later.

1:21:58 > 1:22:03From the Chilean is of the UK we will take you back to Rio. --

1:22:03 > 1:22:03Chilean is

1:22:03 > 1:22:06At the Rio Olympics, Jack Laugher and Chris Mears won

1:22:06 > 1:22:09Great Britain's first Olympic diving gold medal with victory in the men's

1:22:09 > 1:22:10synchronised 3m springboard.

1:22:10 > 1:22:13With just two months to go until the Gold Coast Commonwealth Games

1:22:13 > 1:22:17in Australia, we can reveal to you this morning that the winning

1:22:17 > 1:22:19duo will compete for Team England as part

1:22:19 > 1:22:20of the 13-strong diving team.

1:22:20 > 1:22:26Chris and Jack join us now.

1:22:26 > 1:22:30well done, congratulations, how exciting.We are really looking

1:22:30 > 1:22:35forward to it. It has been a while since we've been to the Gold Coast

1:22:35 > 1:22:40and Commonwealth Games back in 2014 we came away with a gold medal there

1:22:40 > 1:22:45so it will be nice to follow that up.Really excited about it. I think

1:22:45 > 1:22:48as Jack said the Gold Coast, couldn't be a much better place.

1:22:48 > 1:22:53Very much looking forward to it.How is life and professionally,

1:22:53 > 1:22:57personally, how has it changed since winning an Olympic gold?Not that

1:22:57 > 1:23:03much, really! We still live in the same place, we are still training,

1:23:03 > 1:23:07still do normal stuff. We had a whirlwind two or three months, a

1:23:07 > 1:23:12little different, it was such a huge feet to win in the Olympics and the

1:23:12 > 1:23:17first Britons to do it in diving was huge for us and to come away with

1:23:17 > 1:23:20that was fantastic so life has changed but I think not all that

1:23:20 > 1:23:26much.It was crazy for a few months and the new kind of just get back to

1:23:26 > 1:23:30it and it is normal and it is working towards the next gold and

1:23:30 > 1:23:35that is just how it goes.I remember the green pool. I don't want to

1:23:35 > 1:23:39mention it but what was that?That was extraordinary. I've never seen

1:23:39 > 1:23:43anything like it. You get the Commonwealth Games in India in 2010

1:23:43 > 1:23:48and that had a it is a bacterial problem or something but nothing

1:23:48 > 1:23:53like that! That was crazy! They said it was completely safe though.I had

1:23:53 > 1:24:00an ear of infection -- infection, it could have been from that, I don't

1:24:00 > 1:24:05know, but it was strange. It put other athletes off and we just

1:24:05 > 1:24:10embraced it.It is interesting, tell us about having one and found the

1:24:10 > 1:24:15brilliantly, it's a different kind of pressure now, isn't it?Yeah!

1:24:15 > 1:24:18When we did our first competition after the Olympic Games, it was

1:24:18 > 1:24:22massive.Was everyone like oh, here's these two...That actually

1:24:22 > 1:24:29announced us, this is quick and Jack...Or Jack and Chris... What

1:24:29 > 1:24:36are you not telling us?They announced us as Olympic champions

1:24:36 > 1:24:41and it was an added pressure.When you dive, you are synchronised, when

1:24:41 > 1:24:46you talk, you are synchronised. It is amazing. You must sort of be able

1:24:46 > 1:24:51to be quite telepathic with each other.Me and Chris are best friends

1:24:51 > 1:24:55and we know exactly what each other is thinking all the time and that

1:24:55 > 1:25:00helps us as well because when we compete, if someone feels a little

1:25:00 > 1:25:03nervous or scared or you can see someone making slight mistakes, we

1:25:03 > 1:25:08can sort of bring each other back into where we need to be so we think

1:25:08 > 1:25:12it works so well for both of us.We pick up a little things and snow

1:25:12 > 1:25:16when to say something or not to.And you finish each other's sentences's

1:25:16 > 1:25:23it's so cute. Obviously, getting the MBE and coming back and everyone

1:25:23 > 1:25:27wanting to talk to you and all of attention, is there a bit of a drop

1:25:27 > 1:25:33off after the Olympics because life is different but you have a supreme

1:25:33 > 1:25:37high we achieved the greatest thing you can in your sport and then you

1:25:37 > 1:25:41are back to normal life relatively quickly?Definitely, both of us

1:25:41 > 1:25:45experienced that. It was weird because Chris went to America and I

1:25:45 > 1:25:50was in England and we didn't speak for about one month and were we met

1:25:50 > 1:25:54up afterwards we talked about it and it was like we were going through

1:25:54 > 1:25:57the same things but completely apart from one another which was weird to

1:25:57 > 1:26:01be honest but slowly recovered and kind of got back to it and it seems

1:26:01 > 1:26:05so stupid to be kind of sad after winning an Olympic medal but you

1:26:05 > 1:26:09come back to it after being so high at the peak of my career and my life

1:26:09 > 1:26:14saying it was a bit weird.You have to come down. As Jack said, it is

1:26:14 > 1:26:20the peak.You were working towards a force long.And once you get it, you

1:26:20 > 1:26:25go I have done it but what now? You don't think about that?What now,

1:26:25 > 1:26:29and do you have a special dive planned?We can't really progress

1:26:29 > 1:26:35much more than we have? We did the highest and hardest dive in the

1:26:35 > 1:26:43entire world so we are still working on our signature kind of dive, the

1:26:43 > 1:26:4742.5 somersaults and three twists, it kind of separated us from

1:26:47 > 1:26:52everybody at the Olympics.There is always work to do, we are always

1:26:52 > 1:26:56working on fine tuning.And you have some world Series events between now

1:26:56 > 1:27:00and the Commonwealth games in the buildup?One of them is Japan which

1:27:00 > 1:27:04is really exciting to go there for the first time.In preparation for

1:27:04 > 1:27:09the Tokyo Olympics. It will be weird, we have Beijing and Japan,

1:27:09 > 1:27:13some training, about two months of the Gold Coast before you leave so

1:27:13 > 1:27:19it could be worse, couldn't it? Listen, huge good luck, I know you

1:27:19 > 1:27:22don't need it but we will be watching closely. We give very much

1:27:22 > 1:27:27indeed. But if it was ever had to get who were so synchronised in

1:27:27 > 1:27:32their absence. They don't even have to look at each other, they

1:27:32 > 1:27:35beautifully, seamlessly roll on. Thanks, guys.

1:27:35 > 1:27:36You're watching Breakfast.

1:27:36 > 1:27:37Still to come this morning:

1:27:37 > 1:27:41They spent 62 days on ice, travelling up to 27 miles a day.

1:27:41 > 1:27:43We'll talk to the British team of female soldiers dubbed

1:27:43 > 1:27:46'Team Ice Maiden' about their incredible journey crossing

1:27:46 > 1:27:51Antarctica in freezing temperatures as low as minus 40.

1:27:51 > 1:31:14Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

1:31:30 > 1:31:32Here's what's coming up:

1:31:37 > 1:31:38after Britain leaves the EU.

1:31:38 > 1:31:42He'll meet the Brexit Secretary David Davis in the first of a series

1:31:42 > 1:31:43of discussions this week.

1:31:43 > 1:31:45It comes after the Government indicated it remains determined

1:31:45 > 1:31:53to leave the European Customs Union when Brexit takes place next year.

1:31:54 > 1:31:57A new ring-fenced tax to fund the NHS and social care in England

1:31:57 > 1:32:00has been proposed by a panel of health experts.

1:32:00 > 1:32:02The panel, set up by the Liberal Democrats,

1:32:02 > 1:32:05says the NHS in England should be given an extra four billion pounds.

1:32:05 > 1:32:08The government says it prioritsed NHS funding at the last Budget,

1:32:08 > 1:32:15providing two billion pounds for social care.

1:32:15 > 1:32:18The sole surviving suspect behind the Paris terror attacks in 2015

1:32:19 > 1:32:22Salah Abdeslam faces charges relating to a shootout he had

1:32:22 > 1:32:25with police while on the run in Belgium in 2016.

1:32:25 > 1:32:28He faces a second trial relating to his involvement in the Paris

1:32:28 > 1:32:36attacks at a later date.

1:32:36 > 1:32:41It could be one of the coldest weeks of the year.

1:32:41 > 1:32:44There's been a number of road accidents as snow fell on the M20

1:32:44 > 1:32:45motorway in Kent overnight.

1:32:45 > 1:32:48No-one was seriously injured but police are urging drivers

1:32:48 > 1:32:49to take extra care.

1:32:49 > 1:32:52The Met Office has issued yellow warnings for snow and ice

1:32:52 > 1:33:00across the east of the country.

1:33:06 > 1:33:12A warning on strikes from the Chief Executive of Ryanair set to cause

1:33:12 > 1:33:19travel disruption over Easter. He said demands from pilots were

1:33:19 > 1:33:24laughable. They have broken down. The airline has been forced to

1:33:24 > 1:33:33cancel tens of thousands of flights in autumn over staff terms and

1:33:33 > 1:33:36conditions.

1:33:36 > 1:33:39Customers of the Lloyds Banking group have been banned

1:33:39 > 1:33:42from using their credit cards to buy virtual currencies such as Bitcoin.

1:33:42 > 1:33:45The decision affects all account holders with Lloyds Bank,

1:33:45 > 1:33:46Bank of Scotland, Halifax and MBNA.

1:33:46 > 1:33:49The group says it's protecting customers from running up debts

1:33:49 > 1:33:57they could never repay.

1:33:59 > 1:34:01A new mental health campaign to encourage children "to be

1:34:01 > 1:34:03comfortable in their own skin" is being supported

1:34:03 > 1:34:05by The Duchess of Cambridge.

1:34:05 > 1:34:08Her Royal Highness, Kate Middleton is pregnant with her third child

1:34:08 > 1:34:11and says adults should help encourage children to be the best

1:34:11 > 1:34:12versions of themselves.

1:34:12 > 1:34:16There are yellow weather warnings for snow and ice in place for large

1:34:16 > 1:34:17parts of the country.

1:34:17 > 1:34:20We'll find out what that means for you at home when Carol brings us

1:34:20 > 1:34:22the weather in ten minutes' time.

1:34:22 > 1:34:31It is worth paying attention to.It

1:34:31 > 1:34:39is cold. We had a fire out due to the cold.

1:34:45 > 1:34:48the cold.I was rushing. The alarm finished as I was approaching the

1:34:48 > 1:34:52door and I turned around and went back the same way.It was a false

1:34:52 > 1:35:00alarm. I was thinking "We left Dan behind! Who was watching him?"

1:35:00 > 1:35:05Thankfully, you are OK. Good morning, Holly.I don't think either

1:35:05 > 1:35:14of you was up watching the Super Bowl.I had a bit of a look. I

1:35:14 > 1:35:28couldn't help myself.We talk about it for weeks on end, then it is

1:35:28 > 1:35:31suddenly done. We love underdogs. Everyone thought it would be Tom

1:35:31 > 1:35:37Brady again. It shocked loads of people. Be Eagles played incredibly.

1:35:37 > 1:35:43It all happens in the final seconds of the game. Some people said on

1:35:43 > 1:35:48Twitter

1:35:50 > 1:35:53Twitter that they stayed awake until half-time and fell asleep. But it

1:35:53 > 1:35:57was so exciting this year and so many stayed up to watch it.

1:35:57 > 1:35:59There'll be plenty of partying in Philly right now

1:35:59 > 1:36:01with the Philadelphia Eagles winning the Super Bowl

1:36:01 > 1:36:03for the very first time.

1:36:03 > 1:36:05They beat the favourites and defending champions

1:36:05 > 1:36:07the New England Patriots in what was a thrilling

1:36:07 > 1:36:08high scoring game.

1:36:08 > 1:36:12But the hero was Nick Foles.

1:36:12 > 1:36:15Here's the touchdown that will be shown a billion times.

1:36:15 > 1:36:18Foles, becoming the first quarterback to throw and catch

1:36:18 > 1:36:19touchdowns in Super Bowl history.

1:36:19 > 1:36:22He only came into the side towards the end of the season

1:36:22 > 1:36:28as an injury replacement.

1:36:28 > 1:36:32That is what life is about.

1:36:32 > 1:36:32Time stops.

1:36:32 > 1:36:35I get to celebrate this with my wife and daughter.

1:36:35 > 1:36:38She has been there through everything, so has my family.

1:36:38 > 1:36:40To celebrate this moment, that is what it is about.

1:36:40 > 1:36:48I am just grateful, you know?

1:36:50 > 1:36:51Let me hear you, Minneapolis!

1:36:51 > 1:36:54And as always the half time show didn't fail to disappoint,

1:36:54 > 1:36:56as Justin Timberlake wowed the crowds.

1:36:56 > 1:36:59A 12 minute performance that included a tribute to Prince.

1:36:59 > 1:37:01That 13-year-old boy could be the most popular person

1:37:01 > 1:37:09at his school today, getting a selfie with the star as well.

1:37:18 > 1:37:32We tracked down the selfie. It did not take long for him to go viral.

1:37:32 > 1:37:37What a selfie to get, though.

1:37:37 > 1:37:45What a star to the Six Nations! After Wales' stunning victory over

1:37:45 > 1:37:55Scotland. In that last-minute drop goal in Ireland's win over France.

1:37:58 > 1:38:01Two dries for Sam.

1:38:01 > 1:38:04In the women's Six Nations, England put in a huge second

1:38:04 > 1:38:06performance to beat Italy 42 points to seven.

1:38:06 > 1:38:09England Captain Sarah Hunter went over for a hat-trick of tries

1:38:09 > 1:38:11helping her team secure the bonus point.

1:38:11 > 1:38:13An absolutely amazing game at Anfield yesterday then.

1:38:13 > 1:38:15Two injury time goals, two Spurs penalties: one offside

1:38:15 > 1:38:18and missed, and the second, Harry Kane's 100th Premier League

1:38:18 > 1:38:18goal.

1:38:18 > 1:38:22And before all of that came one of the goals of the season.

1:38:22 > 1:38:24Substitute Victory Wanyama smashing home an equaliser with ten

1:38:24 > 1:38:25minutes to go.

1:38:25 > 1:38:27That cancelled out Mo Salah's earlier stirke, only

1:38:27 > 1:38:30for the Egyptian to wriggle through and score this brilliant

1:38:30 > 1:38:31goal at the end.

1:38:31 > 1:38:34But there was still time for a second Spurs penalty.

1:38:34 > 1:38:37Kane had one saved a few minutes before, but with the last kick

1:38:37 > 1:38:40of the game he made it 100 not out!

1:38:40 > 1:38:48A breathless and controversial 2-2 draw.

1:39:11 > 1:39:25Crystal Palace came from behind to draw 1-1 with Newcastle. They

1:39:25 > 1:39:27draw 1-1 with Newcastle. They move up to 14, Newcastle move to 16. I am

1:39:27 > 1:39:31almost out of breath after all of that action to fill up and it is

1:39:31 > 1:39:35only Monday morning. -- action.

1:39:35 > 1:39:38From David Walliams swimming the Channel to Eddie Izzard running

1:39:38 > 1:39:4143 marathons, Sport Relief has a proven track record in persuading

1:39:41 > 1:39:43celebrities to take on tough physical challenges.

1:39:43 > 1:39:47This morning, we can tell you who is next to throw their hat,

1:39:47 > 1:39:52or should we say cycling helmet, into the ring.

1:39:52 > 1:39:56BBC Radio Two's Zoe Ball is getting on her bike for a cycling challenge

1:39:56 > 1:39:59to raise money for an issue close to her heart.

1:39:59 > 1:40:04She here to tell us more.

1:40:04 > 1:40:13Oh my goodness! What have I done!I don't know! What are you going to

1:40:13 > 1:40:20do?It involves a bicycle. I will do it from the 17th to the 23rd of

1:40:20 > 1:40:29March. I know that you cycle.

1:40:29 > 1:40:31March. I know that you cycle. I have ridden shopping bikes and so on. I

1:40:31 > 1:40:36have

1:40:41 > 1:40:44have been on beach cruisers and a BMX. But road bikes, cleats, oh my

1:40:44 > 1:40:53God. I have had an altercation with the curb, an angry driver, and two

1:40:53 > 1:41:00slow-motion falls.You had never been on a road bike before?Never.

1:41:00 > 1:41:05She gave

1:41:11 > 1:41:14She gave me some top tips at looking out for undercarriages, which I

1:41:14 > 1:41:17won't mention, but wind and rain... I did the furthest I have done so

1:41:17 > 1:41:22far the other day. I will not tell you yet, we will reveal it, but it

1:41:22 > 1:41:26is a long way for a novice. I managed to do a good distance. I did

1:41:26 > 1:41:34really well. I realised I was terrified of going downhill.

1:41:46 > 1:41:47terrified of going downhill. You have to brake. Water, gravel, it all

1:41:47 > 1:41:50scares me. Don't brake on the gravel. I keep worrying about my

1:41:50 > 1:41:55teeth. At the end I was thinking, I have done it! I have done it! I

1:41:55 > 1:42:00could not get the cleats out, slow-motion fell down, and a postman

1:42:00 > 1:42:07helped me up.I will take my hat off for you. The other day you posted

1:42:07 > 1:42:11your breakfast. You are eating a lot.I have been eating a lot.

1:42:11 > 1:42:22Everyone says

1:42:23 > 1:42:26Everyone says you have to toughen up your core, great distances. I mean,

1:42:26 > 1:42:30I don't do sport. You went indoor skydiving with me. I am not an

1:42:30 > 1:42:33athlete.The wonderful thing about cycling, I have done it, you can

1:42:33 > 1:42:38eat. You need to eat enormous amounts.My lovely trainer, it is

1:42:38 > 1:42:47amazing, I did one session with him and he was just invested in me.

1:42:52 > 1:42:54and he was just invested in me. We did An indoor water bike, you go for

1:42:54 > 1:42:58hours and it toughens you up. He said you can eat what you want. I am

1:42:58 > 1:43:04eating so much.People will be thinking why did you sign up? It is

1:43:04 > 1:43:06bringing awareness and raising money for something close to your heart.

1:43:06 > 1:43:11One of the big issues at Sport Relief is mental health. Many people

1:43:11 > 1:43:17know that I lost my boyfriend, well, last year, I lost my boyfriend who

1:43:17 > 1:43:22suffered from depression for a long time. I was touched and moved by

1:43:22 > 1:43:26people who got in touch with me who had been through the same thing with

1:43:26 > 1:43:31the same issues. I think everyone knows that mental health resources

1:43:31 > 1:43:35are under huge pressure. There are a lot of people not getting the

1:43:35 > 1:43:41support they need in time. There is a long waiting list to get therapy.

1:43:41 > 1:43:46And, so, I was left with lots of questions. And the great thing about

1:43:46 > 1:43:52this is we are making a documentary where I will go and visit projects

1:43:52 > 1:43:57helping people living with mental illness, which could be self-harm,

1:43:57 > 1:44:02anxiety, depression, Griezmann, bullying, all of those issues. It

1:44:02 > 1:44:10covers so many. -- bereavement. One in four of us are dealing with

1:44:10 > 1:44:17mental illness. It is huge. So, what are we doing? How can we help? How

1:44:17 > 1:44:23can people find out? There are incredible organisations and people.

1:44:23 > 1:44:26It is finding those and spreading some awareness. And hopefully some,

1:44:26 > 1:44:30you know, helping people find the right help, and some hope moving

1:44:30 > 1:44:39forward.I listened to your first show back on Radio2. It is emotional

1:44:39 > 1:44:43listening to you. You get the sense it has so many impacts and so many

1:44:43 > 1:44:49people.Yes. I think, you know, living with someone going through

1:44:49 > 1:44:53that, it is hard to understand what they are going through if you have

1:44:53 > 1:44:58never been through it. It is hard to help. You want to fix things.

1:44:58 > 1:45:03Perhaps that is not what you should be doing. I want to talk to many

1:45:03 > 1:45:07people along the way in the documentary and find out how to best

1:45:07 > 1:45:14help those you love and help them find, you know, the right help.

1:45:14 > 1:45:18When you were going through this you have those times when your legs are

1:45:18 > 1:45:21hurting, your back is hurting, everything takes. Honest, your

1:45:21 > 1:45:27eyelashes can hurt! You will need something to drive you on and it

1:45:27 > 1:45:30seems like you have already got that sort of mental space where you will

1:45:30 > 1:45:35be able to say I have to do this.I have got to do this. And hopefully

1:45:35 > 1:45:39keep the conversation going, raise money. I'm not the only one, Greg

1:45:39 > 1:45:43James is trying to beat his incredible feat of five triathlons

1:45:43 > 1:45:47in five days. He is doing the crazier than that which you can

1:45:47 > 1:45:51follow on iPlayer and Radio one and Alex Jones from the one show is

1:45:51 > 1:45:55facing the mother of all challenges raising awareness for mental health

1:45:55 > 1:45:59issues and we will hear all about that on the one show and we want

1:45:59 > 1:46:04people to get involved. We hope that during the week, if we can be

1:46:04 > 1:46:08altogether, improvised in the nation, 1 billion steps a day and if

1:46:08 > 1:46:14you want to know how to get involved, download the app and go to

1:46:14 > 1:46:21our website.Everyone join in. We can all add our steps. Let's not let

1:46:21 > 1:46:26you go without talking about Strictly.Brendan isn't going on. It

1:46:26 > 1:46:31is a end of an era, Rendon is a legend, I have loved watching him,

1:46:31 > 1:46:37it will be strained without him. I think, I have to say, Sean and his

1:46:37 > 1:46:41top gun deaths this year was, I was so jealous of both of them actually

1:46:41 > 1:46:46when they did that. It was so good though when they did the Charleston,

1:46:46 > 1:46:51it is the one of my favourite ever so he is an amazing boys so I look

1:46:51 > 1:46:54forward to seeing more from him, it will be strange though and we will

1:46:54 > 1:46:58miss him.Good luck with the training.How many hours a day?

1:46:58 > 1:47:09Training? Now? A good 25 minutes a day! No, loads!Loads!When will we

1:47:09 > 1:47:15know? I think I have four weeks of training.Like the way you prepare

1:47:15 > 1:47:20because I thought Alex on Friday and she has done nothing. Like genuinely

1:47:20 > 1:47:27done nothing and she says I will be OK.I will be fine!Lovely to see

1:47:27 > 1:47:31you, so much good luck and we will be following you Breakfast. Sport

1:47:31 > 1:47:37Relief returned for a week from the 70s to the 23rd of March, it gets

1:47:37 > 1:47:40the app, join us with their 1 billion steps and followed Zoe and

1:47:40 > 1:47:49Greg and everyone taking part. Let's look at the scene on a cold Dartmoor

1:47:49 > 1:47:55this morning. My goodness, it looks absolutely beautiful. We are

1:47:55 > 1:48:04therefore a very interesting reason. We will tell you shortly.

1:48:04 > 1:48:07We will tell you shortly. There we will go on the bike today, she will

1:48:07 > 1:48:12need to take good care, while she not? She will! There is ice around

1:48:12 > 1:48:12and

1:48:12 > 1:48:16not? She will! There is ice around and it is freezing. Not just her,

1:48:16 > 1:48:21all of us, the weather forecast for the week is it will remain cold

1:48:21 > 1:48:24through the week, widespread frost and some snow as well and it holds

1:48:24 > 1:48:29true for today. Lovely Weather Watchers pictures this morning,

1:48:29 > 1:48:33Hastings it has been snowing. Some snow this warning across Kent, had

1:48:33 > 1:48:42ethics, Vics and before Sussex, Essex, and East Anglia. Dry weather

1:48:42 > 1:48:45around, and although the wintry showers will tend to ease a touch,

1:48:45 > 1:48:48one or two across the Midlands, Wales and also in the south-west

1:48:48 > 1:48:52England. So this afternoon across north-west England, some dry weather

1:48:52 > 1:48:56and still cold, still a few showers coming in on the wind and cold wind

1:48:56 > 1:49:00coming from the north-east into some eastern parts of England. Showery

1:49:00 > 1:49:05not all of us will see it. A lot of dry weather in the west but we are

1:49:05 > 1:49:10not immune to those showers across parts of south-west England.

1:49:10 > 1:49:15Especially so given. Wales, some dry weather, sunshine but it will feel

1:49:15 > 1:49:19cold. As it will across Northern Ireland. A change is coming for you

1:49:19 > 1:49:24because the cloud were built in the west with some rain coming in. Think

1:49:24 > 1:49:28of Scotland, dry weather but in the west, the cloud will build, the wind

1:49:28 > 1:49:33will strengthen and gale force with exposure, and the rain arrives.

1:49:33 > 1:49:36Through this evening as the band of rain, sleet and snow sinks

1:49:36 > 1:49:41southwards, once again it will be the risk of ice. Almost anywhere.

1:49:41 > 1:49:47Those wintry showers moving behind and ahead of it, some patchy fog.

1:49:47 > 1:49:51Tomorrow, it would pick up the band of rain, it continues its journey

1:49:51 > 1:49:53moving south-east was through the course of the day, eventually

1:49:53 > 1:49:59tending to fizzle. Ahead of it, the cloud will build, eradicating the

1:49:59 > 1:50:02bright start, and ahead of it, sunshine but a good Kippa-Ring of

1:50:02 > 1:50:08wintry showers in the north and the west. Temperatures 2-4. We will

1:50:08 > 1:50:15still cold! -- field. The temperature will fall towards

1:50:15 > 1:50:20evening and as the weather front starts to push southwards, it will

1:50:20 > 1:50:23reinvigorate, introducing more snow across parts of East Anglia, and

1:50:23 > 1:50:27down towards the south-east generally. The Lazard, they can also

1:50:27 > 1:50:33be some thunder and lightning in a particular band. The risk of ice, a

1:50:33 > 1:50:37cold night, a cold start, then the front during the day is there, ahead

1:50:37 > 1:50:40of its average of high pressure builds in that things will settle

1:50:40 > 1:50:44down however look at what is coming, the next several fronts. Cold start

1:50:44 > 1:50:49to the day, the rest of us, frost, sunshine, the cloud building from

1:50:49 > 1:50:53the and ahead of it, we will see some snow. The brain then comes in

1:50:53 > 1:50:57and behind it, once again we will see further snow showers and the

1:50:57 > 1:51:01risk of ice. There is an awful lot happening in the weather forecast

1:51:01 > 1:51:08this week. My goodness, there is! We need to petition for more time for

1:51:08 > 1:51:18Carroll, she has a lot to cram in. All we could be quiet. -- or.

1:51:18 > 1:51:21Now, if you're struggling to get out of bed this morning,

1:51:21 > 1:51:21you're not alone.

1:51:21 > 1:51:24Today is traditionally the day in which the highest numbers

1:51:24 > 1:51:27of workers call in sick, but that could be changing.

1:51:27 > 1:51:30Sean has been looking at what it means for businesses.

1:51:30 > 1:51:34On a Monday? The first Monday of February.It is starting to change a

1:51:34 > 1:51:38little bit, if you are thinking about it today your bosses may be a

1:51:38 > 1:51:41little more aware about what people have done in the past. Good morning.

1:51:41 > 1:51:44Yes, according to one law firm, it's estimated that today

1:51:44 > 1:51:47approximately 350,000 people will need a day off sick today.

1:51:47 > 1:51:50The absence rate on Mondays across the year is almost double

1:51:50 > 1:51:51that of Fridays.

1:51:51 > 1:51:5223.5% compared to 13.2%.

1:51:52 > 1:51:55About 137 million working days are lost every year to sickness

1:51:55 > 1:51:57or injury in the UK every year.

1:51:57 > 1:52:00That works out as just over four days off unwell per worker,

1:52:00 > 1:52:03although that's down from an average of seven days per worker in 1993.

1:52:03 > 1:52:07But it does still have an impact, and managing sickness is a big

1:52:07 > 1:52:15problem for employers.

1:52:24 > 1:52:27The big problem managing this sickness generally and let's have a

1:52:27 > 1:52:29look at why these are

1:52:29 > 1:52:29sickness generally and let's have a look at why these are changing, and

1:52:29 > 1:52:34O'Leary is with us, and employment law expert. Good morning.

1:52:34 > 1:52:38Traditionally it is the first Monday? The first Monday of February

1:52:38 > 1:52:44was traditionally the National sickie day and it has been the case

1:52:44 > 1:52:47had 10 years but the pattern has changed since last year and it is

1:52:47 > 1:52:49interspersed through the year and predominantly Monday is seeing a

1:52:49 > 1:52:54spike in sickness.Why the change? Why would we have looked at this

1:52:54 > 1:52:59Monday previously?We noticed it ourselves for the first Monday in

1:52:59 > 1:53:04the very and now we have noticed it has come interspersed, possibly

1:53:04 > 1:53:08because employees have cottoned on to the fact and to gets a lot of

1:53:08 > 1:53:12publicity and possibly it is one of the reasons for the change.When you

1:53:12 > 1:53:16save 350,000 people taking off the day off work because of illness,

1:53:16 > 1:53:19national sickie day gives the impression that everyone is pulling

1:53:19 > 1:53:24a sickie and actually couldn't -- could have made in but lots of

1:53:24 > 1:53:28people surely are not well and cannot into work.Absolutely, and

1:53:28 > 1:53:32those figures don't take into account the genuine absences and of

1:53:32 > 1:53:35course there are those and it is just that traditionally, we've seen

1:53:35 > 1:53:40a lot of excuses for absence rather than looking at the reasons and the

1:53:40 > 1:53:44underlying reasons why people are absent.What do you think they are

1:53:44 > 1:53:48because we have had people getting in touch, we put this on Twitter,

1:53:48 > 1:53:51Lisa said I have MS and I feel terrible when I get sent home

1:53:51 > 1:53:56because it was playing up the first time in eight years.And her

1:53:56 > 1:54:00employer has a duty to support her through that, but potentially is a

1:54:00 > 1:54:04disability so that our obligations on the employer.Georgina says she

1:54:04 > 1:54:08is in her third year with a seasonal job, we talk about seasonal jobs may

1:54:08 > 1:54:14be being a little bit more the hours of flexible but not be guaranteed

1:54:14 > 1:54:18contract, guaranteed hours. She said I fell ill today but I am still

1:54:18 > 1:54:23going in. Do you think people who are not on the local contracts may

1:54:23 > 1:54:27be feel like they need to go in even if they are not fit for work?

1:54:27 > 1:54:31Certainly because the reality is they will not get paid and it will

1:54:31 > 1:54:34impact them and it may impact on their employers luck with that of

1:54:34 > 1:54:38employing them again so for example with a seasonal job they employ up

1:54:38 > 1:54:41for the employer may not use them again because are unreliable.It

1:54:41 > 1:54:46shouldn't happen, should it?It shouldn't and that is why it's for

1:54:46 > 1:54:50procedures to be in place to try to identify the reason are the absence

1:54:50 > 1:54:59and tackle that.Thank you, MR. -- Emma. People say I am self-employed

1:54:59 > 1:55:04and if I have a day off it directly hits my business. It is tough, there

1:55:04 > 1:55:08are people pulling a sickie but the wider issue businesses have to

1:55:08 > 1:55:10manage that is a tricky one. Sean, thank you.

1:55:10 > 1:55:14We know that Dartmoor is home to some stunning scenery but can it

1:55:14 > 1:55:15make for arresting audio?

1:55:15 > 1:55:20Breakfast's John Maguire is finding out for us this morning.

1:55:20 > 1:55:30Good morning.Morning. -2.5 we reckon it is so pretty chilly, I'm

1:55:30 > 1:55:33not sure what the wind factor is doing, perhaps Carol can tell us

1:55:33 > 1:55:38later. It feels even colder. Dartmoor, here it is, absolutely

1:55:38 > 1:55:41extraordinary, look at the sun coming in the east breaking through

1:55:41 > 1:55:45the cloud, creating all of these wonderful different colours, the

1:55:45 > 1:55:49palate here is extraordinary, we have pink centigrays and greens and

1:55:49 > 1:55:53forms. It is a wild and it is a wonderful place and it is about to

1:55:53 > 1:55:57get it own wireless, it is going to be a community radio station that

1:55:57 > 1:56:05will macro four I will climb up on here, it will get its own community

1:56:05 > 1:56:09station as I say that not pursue perhaps radio that you might not

1:56:09 > 1:56:15have ever heard before. No traffic will travel all sport bulletins or

1:56:15 > 1:56:19DJ banter in between records or anything like that, they will use

1:56:19 > 1:56:23this, the people behind this are saying that this, Dartmoor, will be

1:56:23 > 1:56:31the studio. It will be the sounds from right across the moor, not only

1:56:31 > 1:56:34that but the sounds of the community, conversations, local

1:56:34 > 1:56:38people going around their daily life will stop what you can see this

1:56:38 > 1:56:41morning, it will make this incredible vista, it will turn that

1:56:41 > 1:56:46into sound and it will be an extraordinary listen, I think. It

1:56:46 > 2:00:07will tell you more after

2:00:07 > 2:00:08in half an hour.

2:00:08 > 2:00:11Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

2:00:11 > 2:00:11Bye for now.

2:00:15 > 2:00:17Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

2:00:17 > 2:00:19The start of a crucial week of Brexit talks.

2:00:19 > 2:00:22As the EU's chief negotiator arrives in London, Downing Street moves

2:00:22 > 2:00:30to shore up divisions in the Conservative Party.

2:00:38 > 2:00:41Good morning it's Monday 5th February.

2:00:41 > 2:00:42Also this morning:

2:00:42 > 2:00:46A man suspected of carrying out the terror attacks that killed 130

2:00:46 > 2:00:51people in Paris three years ago is going on trial in Belgium.

2:00:51 > 2:00:55The Duchess of Cambridge issues a personal message calling

2:00:55 > 2:01:03on parents and teachers to help children feel happy with themselves.

2:01:04 > 2:01:07Whether we all school leaders, teachers, support

2:01:07 > 2:01:07Whether we all school leaders, teachers, support staff or parents,

2:01:07 > 2:01:12we each have a crucial role to play.

2:01:12 > 2:01:13Good morning.

2:01:13 > 2:01:15Europe's biggest airline is warning of strikes this Spring.

2:01:15 > 2:01:17Ryanair boss Michael O'Leary has blamed demands from pilots

2:01:17 > 2:01:18after union talks broke down.

2:01:18 > 2:01:21I'll have more in a moment.

2:01:21 > 2:01:22And in sport, it's all over for another year,

2:01:22 > 2:01:24but did you stay up to watch?

2:01:24 > 2:01:25In what was a thrilling Super Bowl...

2:01:25 > 2:01:27The Philadelphia Eagles beat the favourites New England Patriots,

2:01:27 > 2:01:34the first time they've won the title.

2:01:34 > 2:01:36Let me hear you, Minneapolis...

2:01:36 > 2:01:39As always the half-time show didn't disappoint.

2:01:39 > 2:01:41This year it was all about Justin Timberlake,

2:01:41 > 2:01:42selfies and Prince.

2:01:42 > 2:01:50It's frosty but beautiful over Dartmoor this morning.

2:01:53 > 2:01:57Carol has news of more cold. Frosty and beautiful for many areas

2:01:57 > 2:02:03this morning with a risk of ice. We have snow across Essex, Kent, Sussex

2:02:03 > 2:02:08and East Anglia. Snow showers across eastern England and then later in

2:02:08 > 2:02:12the day, more rain and snow comes our way, but this time from the

2:02:12 > 2:02:16north-west. Details in 15 minutes. We need them,

2:02:16 > 2:02:20thank you, Carol.

2:02:20 > 2:02:23Good morning.

2:02:23 > 2:02:24First, our main story.

2:02:24 > 2:02:26Europe's chief negotiator, Michel Barnier, will visit

2:02:26 > 2:02:28Downing Street today for talks about a possible transitional period

2:02:28 > 2:02:30after Britain leaves the EU.

2:02:30 > 2:02:32The Government has indicated it remains determined to leave

2:02:32 > 2:02:33the Customs Union after Brexit.

2:02:33 > 2:02:36The move is seen as an attempt to defuse growing tensions

2:02:36 > 2:02:37in the Conservative Party.

2:02:37 > 2:02:39Our political correspondent, Chris Mason joins us now.

2:02:39 > 2:02:43A big week for the main players in Brexit?

2:02:43 > 2:02:47Really big week. Relation sometimes between the UK and Brussels and

2:02:47 > 2:02:53within the UK and the Conservative Party are even colder than Carol's

2:02:53 > 2:02:57forecast. We are into the crunchy bits of these figures the oceans. It

2:02:57 > 2:03:02feels like we have been droning on about Brexit everyday...I wouldn't

2:03:02 > 2:03:09say droning on, informing us.We are getting to the crucial stage with

2:03:09 > 2:03:14just over a year to go before Brexit actually happens. You are the

2:03:14 > 2:03:20central characters? Absolutely crucial, Michel Barnier. He is

2:03:20 > 2:03:26absolutely crucial, he is the EU's chief Brexit negotiator and he is in

2:03:26 > 2:03:30Downing Street for negotiations. Who is he? He is from the South east of

2:03:30 > 2:03:38France, where they help the Winter Olympics in 1982. He was the local

2:03:38 > 2:03:43MP. Anyway, he became a Europe Minister for France in the 1990s and

2:03:43 > 2:03:50bumped into another man central to this, Mr Davies, David Davis, Brexit

2:03:50 > 2:03:56secretary. They were both Europe Minister 's 20 odd years ago.

2:03:56 > 2:03:59Central to the negotiations. They will be having lunch in Downing

2:03:59 > 2:04:04Street. When they have finished their beans on toast, Theresa May is

2:04:04 > 2:04:17dropping in. Some crucial cabinet meeting, we call it the Brexit War

2:04:17 > 2:04:21Cabinet this week. Senior government figures to work out what the

2:04:21 > 2:04:25government wants. A lot of critics say is the government cannot agree

2:04:25 > 2:04:29what it once before it goes into these negotiations. Someone who is

2:04:29 > 2:04:34not in the room today but effectively like a cardboard cutout

2:04:34 > 2:04:38is Jason Rees Mogg, Conservative backbencher, described in the

2:04:38 > 2:04:44Economist magazine this week as being like the Royal yacht Britannia

2:04:44 > 2:04:50in human form or a red phone box in the flesh. Speaking to the idea that

2:04:50 > 2:04:57he is a traditionalist and is absolute absent at -- Advocate

2:04:57 > 2:05:01Brexit Anglesey any attempt of watering down a selling alcohol

2:05:01 > 2:05:09project as watering down and Theresa May have to keep people like him

2:05:09 > 2:05:15onside. Also the 48% that voted for Brexit onside as well, and that is

2:05:15 > 2:05:22not easy.Quick word on the customs union?Yes, the customs union,

2:05:22 > 2:05:26central to our membership of the European Union. What it means is we

2:05:26 > 2:05:31can sell stuff to other European countries without an additional tax

2:05:31 > 2:05:37being added on. It also means when we buy stuff from outside of the

2:05:37 > 2:05:41European Union, what is a common external tariff, uniform tax is

2:05:41 > 2:05:45added on. It means that in the customs union we cannot go off

2:05:45 > 2:05:51around the world and strike a trade arrangement with America or India or

2:05:51 > 2:05:56whoever it might be. For those who are advocates of Brexit, unless you

2:05:56 > 2:06:00leave the customs union, you are not making the most of leaving the

2:06:00 > 2:06:05European Union. Others will argue we should stay close to our nearest

2:06:05 > 2:06:12trading partners. Downing Street will no doubt say we will leave the

2:06:12 > 2:06:16customs union after the transition period, but there might be some

2:06:16 > 2:06:24arrangement, as yet not defined in the long term.Thank you very much.

2:06:24 > 2:06:27In the last half hour, the man who was described

2:06:27 > 2:06:29as Europe's most wanted has gone on trial in Belgium.

2:06:29 > 2:06:31Salah Abdeslam, is thought to be the last surviving suspect

2:06:31 > 2:06:33of the Paris attacks in 2015.

2:06:33 > 2:06:36He is facing charges relating to a shootout he had with police

2:06:36 > 2:06:37while on the run in Belgium.

2:06:37 > 2:06:40Let's speak to our Europe reporter, Gavin Lee who is in Brussels

2:06:40 > 2:06:43for us this morning.

2:06:43 > 2:06:49Good morning. The Paris charges are still to come, this is specifically

2:06:49 > 2:06:57for the event, the shoot out with the police?Yes, the Friday evening,

2:06:57 > 2:07:03which many remember, 130 people killed in the terrorist attacks at

2:07:03 > 2:07:10the Bataclan, multiple areas of Paris, the sole survivor, you can

2:07:10 > 2:07:18hear the police cars, such a big security operation at the courthouse

2:07:18 > 2:07:25in Brussels. Salah Abdeslam arrived a short time ago. He is alleged to

2:07:25 > 2:07:33have fled the scene, he is caught on CCTV at a service

2:07:34 > 2:07:39CCTV at a service station on the way to Brussels. This case relates to

2:07:39 > 2:07:43when he was discovered in a safe house about three miles from here.

2:07:43 > 2:07:48Police went to the building and came under serious fire, it

2:07:48 > 2:07:53intermittently, lasted several hours. Three officers were injured

2:07:53 > 2:08:00and Salah Abdeslam was said to have fled via the roof. A few days after

2:08:00 > 2:08:08that the word the Brussels attacks at the airport. This is one specific

2:08:08 > 2:08:12elements, a smaller element of the bigger terror allegations against

2:08:12 > 2:08:16him. But the lawyers for him say he is willingly taking part, he has

2:08:16 > 2:08:22been silent in prison since. It may be we get some information about the

2:08:22 > 2:08:27wider investigation he is accused of.Kevin, good to talk to you this

2:08:27 > 2:08:30morning.

2:08:30 > 2:08:33A new ring-fenced tax to fund the NHS and social care in England

2:08:33 > 2:08:35has been proposed by a panel of health experts.

2:08:35 > 2:08:41The panel, commissioned by the Liberal Democrats has also

2:08:41 > 2:08:43recommended a return of caps on personal payments

2:08:43 > 2:08:48for adult social care.

2:08:48 > 2:08:50A couple of big business stories this morning,

2:08:50 > 2:08:52including a warning of travel misery for Ryanair passengers.

2:08:52 > 2:08:56Sean is here with the details.

2:08:56 > 2:09:03If you are thinking of flying Ryanair, it is around Easter?Yes,

2:09:03 > 2:09:07this is from the boss of Ryanair. There has been a bit of back and

2:09:07 > 2:09:12forth between him and the pilots. Ryanair have been in talks with that

2:09:12 > 2:09:14pilots since before Christmas to avoid the strikes over the festive

2:09:14 > 2:09:21season we had. The talks have broken down so Michael O'Leary has said the

2:09:21 > 2:09:27man is from pilots are laughable. Those are his words. The airline was

2:09:27 > 2:09:31caused to cancel tens of thousands of flights following its leave

2:09:31 > 2:09:35booking system for pilots to have holidays. Disruption at Easter will

2:09:35 > 2:09:40be a big problem for the business and passengers as well. Also this

2:09:40 > 2:09:45morning, we have been talking all morning, credit card ban at Lloyds

2:09:45 > 2:09:52bank when it comes to purchasing crypto currencies. I cannot manage

2:09:52 > 2:09:58the tweet at the minute but I will later on. This online currency, bit

2:09:58 > 2:10:04cloying, it is so volatile, it was £13,000 in November, now it is just

2:10:04 > 2:10:11under 7000. But Lloyds bank have banned customers from using credit

2:10:11 > 2:10:20cards to buy these Bitcoins and other crypto currencies. Research

2:10:20 > 2:10:23today for the Institute for Fiscal Studies shows there is a pay gap

2:10:23 > 2:10:28between male and female graduates, but it is widening. The biggest

2:10:28 > 2:10:33factor is leaving their careers and working part-time after becoming

2:10:33 > 2:10:38mothers. It is a big issue we will be talking about a lot more tomorrow

2:10:38 > 2:10:42as well. Men and women and lower incomes are seeing the pay gap

2:10:42 > 2:10:50narrow. They go, that is the biggest contributing factor.

2:10:54 > 2:10:57At the begining of what forecasters say could be one of the coldest

2:10:57 > 2:11:00weeks of the winter, snow has led to a series

2:11:00 > 2:11:01of accidents in Kent.

2:11:01 > 2:11:05This was the footage taken by the police as they attended

2:11:05 > 2:11:07incidents on the M20, where there were

2:11:07 > 2:11:08a number of crashes.

2:11:08 > 2:11:10Luckily, no-one was seriously injured and the motorway

2:11:10 > 2:11:11has now been cleared.

2:11:11 > 2:11:15A number of train services have been disrupted between Hastings

2:11:15 > 2:11:18and Eastbourne due to ice.

2:11:18 > 2:11:21The Duchess of Cambridge has recorded a personal message to try

2:11:21 > 2:11:25and spur children on to be comfortable in their own skin.

2:11:25 > 2:11:28Kate, who is pregnant with her third child,

2:11:28 > 2:11:31recorded the message to launch Children's Mental Health Week.

2:11:31 > 2:11:34Childhood is an incredibly important moment in our lives, it is a time

2:11:34 > 2:11:36when we explore our personalities, discover the potential

2:11:36 > 2:11:44that lies within us, and learn how we be ourselves.

2:11:44 > 2:11:47Our experience of the world at this early stage shapes who we become

2:11:47 > 2:11:52as adults and how to be comfortable in our own skin.

2:11:52 > 2:11:55Whether we are school leaders, teachers, or a support staff

2:11:55 > 2:11:57or parents, we each have a crucial role to play.

2:11:57 > 2:12:01When we are open and honest with each other about the challenges

2:12:01 > 2:12:04we face, we can work together to ensure the children in our care

2:12:04 > 2:12:12have the chance to become the best versions of themselves.

2:12:21 > 2:12:27It could be pretty dramatic weather, Carol will have the details.

2:12:27 > 2:12:30We always listen to Carol anyway but more attention required this

2:12:30 > 2:12:32morning.

2:12:32 > 2:12:34Six women from the British Army have become the largest

2:12:34 > 2:12:36all-female group to ski coast-to-coast across Antarctica.

2:12:36 > 2:12:39The Ice Maiden team took just 62 days to complete their 1

2:12:39 > 2:12:40thousand mile expedition.

2:12:40 > 2:12:42In a moment, we'll speak to three of the team,

2:12:42 > 2:12:50but first here's a reminder of just how gruelling their challenge was.

2:12:54 > 2:13:02SOFT MUSIC PLAYS.

2:13:26 > 2:13:27Delightful.

2:13:27 > 2:13:28Oh!

2:13:28 > 2:13:29Oh!

2:13:29 > 2:13:33Oh, it snowed!

2:13:33 > 2:13:37LAUGHTER.

2:13:37 > 2:13:42Ooooohhh!

2:13:42 > 2:13:50APPLAUSE.

2:13:56 > 2:14:00And joining us now from Sandhurst are Major Sandy Hennis,

2:14:00 > 2:14:07Lance Sergeant Sophie Montagne and Major Nics Wetherill.

2:14:07 > 2:14:12Thank you for joining us. Who wants to start? Why did you want to go on

2:14:12 > 2:14:22an adventure like this?Go on, Nics. I came out with this idea about ten

2:14:22 > 2:14:28years ago when I went to see somebody who gave a great talk about

2:14:28 > 2:14:31his crossing of Antarctica. I realised I wasn't really happy with

2:14:31 > 2:14:36just hearing about it from someone else, I wanted to do it myself. But

2:14:36 > 2:14:41is where the idea came from. Over the last ten years it has been great

2:14:41 > 2:14:46to include as many women as possible and make it an all-female team.Tell

2:14:46 > 2:14:55us about taking part in it, what we most looking forward to?

2:14:55 > 2:14:57The first hints of Antarctica, stepping off the plane and seeing

2:14:57 > 2:15:02the place you had read and dreams about.Seeing the whiteness, the

2:15:02 > 2:15:06ice, the blue sky and the endlessness of the sky, that is what

2:15:06 > 2:15:10we have missed since we've been home.You have beautiful blue sky

2:15:10 > 2:15:14this morning but I imagine it's quite a different scene! You

2:15:14 > 2:15:18obviously had to train massively for this, what was the toughest thing

2:15:18 > 2:15:20about the training?

2:15:22 > 2:15:26We did a three-week exercise out in Norway, where we carried everything

2:15:26 > 2:15:31that we needed to survive for those three weeks, all of our tent

2:15:31 > 2:15:35equipment and food. That was tough but some of the hills are a lot

2:15:35 > 2:15:39steeper than some of the stuff we had in Antarctica, we really pushed

2:15:39 > 2:15:42ourselves on that, so that we were prepared when we went to Antarctica.

2:15:42 > 2:15:48We talked a bit about the lovely things, what was the toughest thing?

2:15:51 > 2:16:00The cold, the wind!LAUGHTER I think, for the team... One of the

2:16:00 > 2:16:05toughest things was the mental side of it. Because we had beautiful

2:16:05 > 2:16:10skies, but every day was the same. For 61 days, we had to get up and do

2:16:10 > 2:16:13the same thing over and over. Particularly at the very beginning

2:16:13 > 2:16:19when we were delayed by the weather for so long, it was that mental test

2:16:19 > 2:16:23of, are we actually going to be able to start and finish within the time

2:16:23 > 2:16:28frame that we've got? That aside was one of the hardest things for the

2:16:28 > 2:16:34team. -- that side.Teamwork and everything else is incredibly

2:16:34 > 2:16:37important in that sort of environment.

2:16:38 > 2:16:43Definitely. I really felt that. I was a bit ill at the start and was

2:16:43 > 2:16:47unable, to one point, to pull my weight so the girls had to take my

2:16:47 > 2:16:52weight of me to allow me to continue. Fortunately, I recovered

2:16:52 > 2:16:56and carried on to finish the expedition. Without that teamwork

2:16:56 > 2:16:59and without being able to be so honest with all of the team, I don't

2:16:59 > 2:17:05think I would have made it through. Definitely, the teamwork makes it

2:17:05 > 2:17:09work.You talked a bit about it being an all-female team. That is a

2:17:09 > 2:17:13message you want to get across in some ways, you want to encourage

2:17:13 > 2:17:18other women into sport but perhaps not this extreme, though? LAUGHTER

2:17:18 > 2:17:22I mean maybe some will go this extreme but it started off initially

2:17:22 > 2:17:27as just encouraging women within the military to get involved in

2:17:27 > 2:17:30adventurous training and pushing themselves mentally and physically.

2:17:30 > 2:17:34But as it grew and more and more people got interested and told me

2:17:34 > 2:17:39they were being inspired by Ed, it has expanded to not just women in

2:17:39 > 2:17:45the military but outside. -- inspired by it. But men, women, boys

2:17:45 > 2:17:48and girls, to find their Antarctica, find something that pushes them

2:17:48 > 2:17:55physically and mentally. This was just to prove that none of us have

2:17:55 > 2:17:58been to Antarctica before, but if you put the right steps in place,

2:17:58 > 2:18:03you can really achieve anything that you want.It's wonderful to speak to

2:18:03 > 2:18:06you, thank you. A beautiful day. Thank you for joining us from

2:18:06 > 2:18:08Sandhurst.

2:18:10 > 2:18:14It looks absolutely gorgeous this morning. Beautiful. John Maguire is

2:18:14 > 2:18:17on Dartmoor, we will be there later on but he was saying it is minus

2:18:17 > 2:18:18two.

2:18:18 > 2:18:21Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

2:18:23 > 2:18:27Good morning. It's -5 in Northern Ireland this morning, a cold but

2:18:27 > 2:18:32beta. For many parts of the country. Look at the forecast for this week,

2:18:32 > 2:18:36it will stay cold through the week, widespread frost, the risk of ice on

2:18:36 > 2:18:41untreated surfaces and snow. This holds true for today. We have seen

2:18:41 > 2:18:46snow this morning and overnight. This is a lovely Weather Watcher's

2:18:46 > 2:18:52picture from Kent. Another one from Kent shows the snow. This is in

2:18:52 > 2:18:57Rainham. And one more from Kent. The snow is not deep but it makes a
