0:00:08 > 0:00:11Hello - this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie
0:00:11 > 0:00:11Stayt.
0:00:11 > 0:00:1417 people are killed in a mass shooting at a high
0:00:14 > 0:00:17school in Florida.
0:00:17 > 0:00:19Children ran from their classrooms as the gunman
0:00:19 > 0:00:21attacked - police have arrested a 19-year-old former student
0:00:21 > 0:00:29who'd been expelled.
0:00:29 > 0:00:34It's just terrifying. Terrifying to the parents, terrifying to the kids.
0:00:34 > 0:00:39Very emotional.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Good morning - it's Thursday the 15th of February.
0:00:43 > 0:00:49Also this morning:
0:00:49 > 0:00:52South Africa's President, Jacob Zuma, resigns after his ANC
0:00:52 > 0:00:54party threatend to force a no-confidence vote over corruption
0:00:54 > 0:01:02allegations - his successor could be sworn in tomorrow.
0:01:03 > 0:01:06A fresh warning about the dangers of ultra-processed food -
0:01:06 > 0:01:09researchers say the more people eat, the higher their cancer risk.
0:01:09 > 0:01:11What are children spending their pocket money on?
0:01:11 > 0:01:13New figures suggest it's makeup and computer games.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16But are they facing more pressure than ever to spend?
0:01:16 > 0:01:21I'll look at the numbers.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26It is nearly there. Our first medal from Britain is within touching
0:01:26 > 0:01:32distance. Don Parsons is a split second outside the medals in fourth
0:01:32 > 0:01:36in the halfway stage of the men's skeleton that we will have to wait
0:01:36 > 0:01:39till tonight.
0:01:39 > 0:01:43Mat with the weather. A few showers around again producing snow across
0:01:43 > 0:01:48the north and the West of the UK. Details on that and a full run-up in
0:01:48 > 0:01:5415 minutes.
0:01:54 > 0:01:55Good morning.
0:01:55 > 0:01:56First, our main story.
0:01:56 > 0:01:59At least 17 people including children and adults have been killed
0:01:59 > 0:02:02after a gun attack at a high school in Florida.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Several other people are being treated in hospital.
0:02:04 > 0:02:06Shortly after the shootings, Police arrested a 19-year-old
0:02:06 > 0:02:08former pupil who'd been expelled from the school
0:02:08 > 0:02:10in Parkland, around 50 miles north of Miami.
0:02:10 > 0:02:16From there, Nada Tawfik reports.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20This was supposed to be one of the safest communities in the country.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25In an instant, these students became helpless targets, sheltering in
0:02:25 > 0:02:30place and fearing for their lives. Officials now suggest this was a
0:02:30 > 0:02:34well-planned pot -- plot to maximise the loss of life. Just moments
0:02:34 > 0:02:39before the end of the school day, a former student reportedly pulled the
0:02:39 > 0:02:43fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman Douglas hi Scholl to draw out his
0:02:43 > 0:02:49unsuspecting victims. There had been a deal earlier in the day but
0:02:49 > 0:02:53confused teachers began to exit the building.Kids were evacuating. I
0:02:53 > 0:02:59was like, that's not a drill. We never get a drill like that. He
0:02:59 > 0:03:04started to back away towards the middle school and I knew it was more
0:03:04 > 0:03:08than a drill because we've never done that.Armed with an 15
0:03:08 > 0:03:13semiautomatic rifle, he began firing outside then continued inside the
0:03:13 > 0:03:18school as panic and chaos erupted. Police were warning the shooter was
0:03:18 > 0:03:22still at large, even as emergency workers rushed to treat those
0:03:22 > 0:03:27wounded. SWAT teams evacuated distressed students. In a row,
0:03:27 > 0:03:31someone hands in the hour, others clinging to each other for support,
0:03:31 > 0:03:37they frantically rushed to safety. I see you! Parents sick with worry
0:03:37 > 0:03:42waited for news. The suspect was arrested without incident an hour
0:03:42 > 0:03:46later in the neighbouring city. Police identified him as Nikolas
0:03:46 > 0:03:51Cruz, who had been expelled.He was taken into custody I believe about
0:03:51 > 0:03:55an hour after he left Marjory Stoneman Douglas, after he committed
0:03:55 > 0:04:00this horrific homicidal detestable act.This is the 18th school
0:04:00 > 0:04:03shooting in the United States this year. It's a uniquely American
0:04:03 > 0:04:08epidemic that has only gotten worse. Yet this country is more divided
0:04:08 > 0:04:16than ever on how to solve the problem.
0:04:16 > 0:04:22I can only imagine this is a community in absolute shock.
0:04:22 > 0:04:27Absolutely. I think as the news of this spread around the nation, many
0:04:27 > 0:04:35asked, how is this happening again? For people here in Parkland,
0:04:35 > 0:04:42Florida, so many thought this would not happen. This is a safe and gated
0:04:42 > 0:04:46community with palm trees. Everyone spoke about how loving the community
0:04:46 > 0:04:50is. There was shocked that something like this, which is so prevalent
0:04:50 > 0:04:54around the rest of the country, still shocked it could happen here.
0:04:54 > 0:04:59In a press conference by several of the officials as they gave an update
0:04:59 > 0:05:04on the status of the 17 victims, and try to identify each one, they
0:05:04 > 0:05:09really said that this will take time as a community to heal but they are
0:05:09 > 0:05:13dedicated to making sure that they have those who are coming to this
0:05:13 > 0:05:17high school and in the rest of the school system confident that they
0:05:17 > 0:05:21can be safe when they go to school but still, that is a question that
0:05:21 > 0:05:25the rest of the United States will have to grapple with and one that
0:05:25 > 0:05:28President Trump mentioned briefly because he said no child, no teacher
0:05:28 > 0:05:33or anyone else should feel unsafe in an American school and it is the
0:05:33 > 0:05:37reality in America now that that is something that politicians are going
0:05:37 > 0:05:42to have to get a grip on.Thank you very much for reporting price
0:05:42 > 0:05:48outside that school in Parkland, Florida. -- reporting for us.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Jacob Zuma has resigned as President of South Africa after nine
0:05:51 > 0:05:52years in power.
0:05:52 > 0:05:55His time in office has been marred by allegations of corruption
0:05:55 > 0:05:58and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him out
0:05:58 > 0:05:59with a vote of no confidence.
0:05:59 > 0:06:05Our reporter Pumza Fihlani is in Johannesburg.
0:06:05 > 0:06:10Pumza, take us through where we are this morning. We will know that
0:06:10 > 0:06:14President Jacob Zuma bowed out at the last minute last night,
0:06:14 > 0:06:17eventually giving in that resignation that the ANC had been
0:06:17 > 0:06:21calling for. The process in Parliament begins. The African
0:06:21 > 0:06:25National Congress want to elect a new president, somebody who would be
0:06:25 > 0:06:30sworn in today and becomes the country's next president until
0:06:30 > 0:06:36elections in 2019. The name they want to put forward is the new ANC
0:06:36 > 0:06:39leader Cyril Ramaphosa, the man responsible for those negotiations
0:06:39 > 0:06:44to get him out of office.Pumza Fihlani, thank you very much.
0:06:44 > 0:06:48There could be a link between a diet of ultra processed foods and cancer,
0:06:48 > 0:06:50that's according to researchers in France.
0:06:50 > 0:06:52The study of more than 100,000 people suggests
0:06:52 > 0:06:55that those who ate more of products such as fizzy drinks,
0:06:55 > 0:06:57mass-produced bread and processed meats, had the highest
0:06:57 > 0:06:58rates of cancer.
0:06:58 > 0:07:04Here's our Health and Science correspondent James Gallagher.
0:07:04 > 0:07:08Ultra- processed foods include cakes, chocolate, mass-produced
0:07:08 > 0:07:13bread, crisps and pizza. It's delicious temptation and too much is
0:07:13 > 0:07:18bad for the waistline. We know being overweight increases the risk of
0:07:18 > 0:07:22cancer but is there something else about these foods that raises the
0:07:22 > 0:07:27risk even further? The study followed 105,000 French people for
0:07:27 > 0:07:34five years. It suggests increasingly an ounce of our diet that our ultra-
0:07:34 > 0:07:39processed by 10% is linked to a 12% increase in the risk of cancer but
0:07:39 > 0:07:42even the researchers say more work is needed to establish why such
0:07:42 > 0:07:48foods may increase cancer risk. So what should we do?A balanced diet
0:07:48 > 0:07:52is actually even more importantly is maintaining a healthy weight and if
0:07:52 > 0:07:55we each to many ultra- processed foods than we do pylon the powers
0:07:55 > 0:07:59and although this study didn't look closely at way and we know very
0:07:59 > 0:08:07clearly what the links are with that and cancer so I think it's
0:08:12 > 0:08:16and cancer so I think it's a warning to us to have a healthy diet and be
0:08:16 > 0:08:19aware of the links between our diet and cancer.Other experts said the
0:08:19 > 0:08:23term of the processed food was so broad, it's hard to know what's
0:08:23 > 0:08:26really going on and to that other unhealthy habits could be muddying
0:08:26 > 0:08:29the waters. It is why the study is being described as an initial
0:08:29 > 0:08:32insight rather than definitive proof on the role of ultra- processed
0:08:32 > 0:08:34foods and cancer.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
0:08:36 > 0:08:38for a cyber attack last year, which affected businesses
0:08:38 > 0:08:39around the world.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
0:08:41 > 0:08:43was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
0:08:43 > 0:08:44and weaponising information".
0:08:44 > 0:08:48Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
0:08:48 > 0:08:51Dubious financial advisors exploited former steel workers in a pensions
0:08:51 > 0:08:52mis-selling scandal according to MPs.
0:08:52 > 0:08:54The Work and Pensions Select Committee says it cost
0:08:54 > 0:08:57the people involved thousands and the Financial Conduct Authority
0:08:57 > 0:08:59did too little to protect them after the closure
0:08:59 > 0:09:05of the British Steel Pension Scheme.
0:09:05 > 0:09:07Differences in life expectancy between the richest and poorest
0:09:07 > 0:09:14neighbourhoods have widened according to a new report.
0:09:14 > 0:09:17The Longevity Science Panel found that, a boy born in one
0:09:17 > 0:09:20of the most affluent areas will outlive one born in one
0:09:20 > 0:09:22of the poorest by nearly eight and a half years.
0:09:22 > 0:09:26Some of the least affluent areas are in the North West of England,
0:09:26 > 0:09:27including Blackpool and Knowsley.
0:09:27 > 0:09:34Some of the wealthiest are in the South East.
0:09:34 > 0:09:37Now, have you ever seen a baby and said, "Oh they're so cute,
0:09:37 > 0:09:39"I could eat them up."
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Me neither.
0:09:42 > 0:09:49Well, here are some that you could actually eat.
0:09:49 > 0:09:56That's needed a freaky alerts. -- alert.
0:09:56 > 0:09:59An amateur baker has created life-size cake versions
0:09:59 > 0:10:07of her twin daughters to celebrate their first birthday.
0:10:07 > 0:10:14Can we see some more about? I am we can. -- some more of that?
0:10:14 > 0:10:17Lara Mason spent more than 100 hours crafting the edible version
0:10:17 > 0:10:19of her daughters Lily and Lyla.
0:10:19 > 0:10:28What I'm worried about is what happens when you cut them open.A
0:10:28 > 0:10:33lot of people like myself feel bad enough about biting the head of the
0:10:33 > 0:10:38gingerbread man.That kind of thing doesn't trouble me in the least. If
0:10:38 > 0:10:46the cake is nice, the cake is nice. Good morning to you. What have you
0:10:46 > 0:10:56got Rose?We are going to be waiting to this first medal.Don Parsons is
0:10:56 > 0:11:00within touching distance. We've got to wait until tonight to see whether
0:11:00 > 0:11:03he can complete the job.
0:11:03 > 0:11:06Dom Parsons has put himself in a touching distance of Britain's
0:11:06 > 0:11:08first medal at the Winter Olympics in the men's Skelton.
0:11:08 > 0:11:11At the half way stage of the competition in PyeongChang
0:11:11 > 0:11:17the Brit lies in fourth place.
0:11:17 > 0:11:180.03 of a second outside the medals.
0:11:18 > 0:11:26Teammate Jerry Rice is back in 12th place.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31There has been disappointment for the curlers, who lost to the United
0:11:31 > 0:11:37States. It is China up next to Great Britain later this morning.
0:11:37 > 0:11:43Away from PyeongChang, it was another night to remember
0:11:43 > 0:11:44in the Champions League for English football.
0:11:44 > 0:11:47A hat-trick from Sadio Marney, helped Liverpool thrash Portuguese
0:11:47 > 0:11:48side Porto 5-0.
0:11:48 > 0:11:53And British number one Johanna Konta is into the last 16
0:11:53 > 0:11:56of the Qatar Open, thanks to victory over Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro
0:11:56 > 0:12:00in Doha.
0:12:00 > 0:12:05I will stick around for the papers but we have got some weather.Yes,
0:12:05 > 0:12:12we have. You do it.You never get to talk to matter.Good morning, Matt.
0:12:12 > 0:12:18We often see each other out and about on trains.We have spent many
0:12:18 > 0:12:22times together.We know each other well. This is nice.They have bonded
0:12:22 > 0:12:29already.Cut out the middle people. Don't go too far, what about the
0:12:29 > 0:12:30weather, Matt?
0:12:36 > 0:12:40Still a few showers are no showers wintry and places. Over the hills of
0:12:40 > 0:12:45Scotland and Northern Ireland. The show you where the showers have
0:12:45 > 0:12:50been. The bulk of the showers further north, easing a bit in
0:12:50 > 0:12:57north-east England over the next few hours. Show does this -- -- snow
0:12:57 > 0:13:03showers across western Scotland. In between, lots of sunshine,
0:13:03 > 0:13:08particularly the further south and east you are. Many may just get away
0:13:08 > 0:13:12with a dry day. One or two showers, by and large. Still a few rain
0:13:12 > 0:13:17showers towards the south-west. One or two mixed in with the rain
0:13:17 > 0:13:22showers. Still, a few snow flurries. It is to the west of Northern
0:13:22 > 0:13:26Ireland and the Highlands of Scotland where we like to see most
0:13:26 > 0:13:29of the showers and as I said, up to ten centimetres, maybe even a bit
0:13:29 > 0:13:32more possible over the higher ground. Strong winds as well. Quite
0:13:32 > 0:13:41a blustery day. Still sub only the mountains. With some sunshine in the
0:13:41 > 0:13:46south, ten, 11 degrees is certainly possible. To take us into tonight,
0:13:46 > 0:13:50we will see the showers continue across the north and west of the
0:13:50 > 0:13:53country, becoming fewer in number further south you are. The chance of
0:13:53 > 0:13:58some frost and ice to take us into Friday morning. For many, it will be
0:13:58 > 0:14:03a bright enough start. Still a lot of snow continuing to fall. Prudden
0:14:03 > 0:14:09eyed, if you have clear skies in Scotland, you could see the all. The
0:14:09 > 0:14:15green, slimmer chance. But still possible across some parts of
0:14:15 > 0:14:18Scotland and Northern Ireland. We have the showers continuing across
0:14:18 > 0:14:26the north and west of the country. Much of England and Wales, a dry
0:14:26 > 0:14:31day. Cladding over a little bit from the West during the afternoon. Up to
0:14:31 > 0:14:37ten or 11 degrees. Into the weekend, a quick look at what we've got. A
0:14:37 > 0:14:41touch of frost around Saturday morning. Brightening up after a
0:14:41 > 0:14:45cloudy start in Scotland. Northern Ireland, southern Scotland and
0:14:45 > 0:14:50England, generally fairly cloudy. Not as much in the way of wintry
0:14:50 > 0:14:57weather as temperatures continue to rise. Into Sunday, just a bit of
0:14:57 > 0:15:02caution. This weather system coming in with a bit of uncertainty. At the
0:15:02 > 0:15:07moment, it looks like there will be a spell of cloud and outbreaks of
0:15:07 > 0:15:12rain. Dry of the Scotland and Northern Ireland. That will keep you
0:15:12 > 0:15:22updated. Temperatures up on what we have seen through this week.
0:15:22 > 0:15:27Let's have a look through the papers with Ben and Mike. Front pages first
0:15:27 > 0:15:34and a story about...The front page of the Metro son, saying that
0:15:34 > 0:15:40Corbyn... Saying Jerry, Jeremy Corbyn met a commonest spy at the
0:15:40 > 0:15:44height of the war and warned him about clampdown is on British
0:15:44 > 0:15:49intelligence. A spokesman has said he was an agent, asset or informant
0:15:49 > 0:15:53for any intelligence agency is false and a ridiculous smear. It goes on
0:15:53 > 0:15:59to say he met diplomats from many other countries.The Daily Mail
0:15:59 > 0:16:03story here, processed foods driving up rates of cancer, this is what
0:16:03 > 0:16:08they are calling ultra- processed foods. Any project, product
0:16:08 > 0:16:15involving an industrial process is making up half of our diet that any
0:16:15 > 0:16:20product. A variety of stories on the front pages this morning.-- any
0:16:20 > 0:16:26product. It has revealed 4700 people have died in England in the last ten
0:16:26 > 0:16:30years while waiting for an organ donor. This four-year-old girl
0:16:30 > 0:16:37pictured in here is one of those who died waiting. It says this could be
0:16:37 > 0:16:41avoided, the Mirror is campaigning to persuade MPs to change the law to
0:16:41 > 0:16:46save hundreds.Ben, we're often told to get youngsters involved in money
0:16:46 > 0:16:50issues earlier, aren't we?It's a real obsession of mine, financial
0:16:50 > 0:16:55education for young people because we spend a lot of time doing
0:16:55 > 0:16:59decisions in school but the biggest decisions in your life are your
0:16:59 > 0:17:03mortgage, savings, job, where to put your money so there's a story in the
0:17:03 > 0:17:07paper saying children as young as six should get a bank card, this is
0:17:07 > 0:17:11a prepaid debit card, not a credit card, number of companies have
0:17:11 > 0:17:14launched them and the idea is parents can put their pocket money
0:17:14 > 0:17:20on these cards and children learn how to spend it.They can do it on
0:17:20 > 0:17:24the Internet or in shops. It's part of the idea kids can learn to save,
0:17:24 > 0:17:27know when to spend and learn the value of money but some suggesting
0:17:27 > 0:17:30that maybe six is a little early because there might be limited
0:17:30 > 0:17:34opportunities for them to spend it. Six years old, can you imagine what
0:17:34 > 0:17:38they would spend their money on?The picture I have got is a six-year-old
0:17:38 > 0:17:44walking around with a bank card... They would, wouldn't be? They would
0:17:44 > 0:17:49hold it up and that makes them a target.No more so than having cash.
0:17:49 > 0:17:56It does.It isn't like you can rack up thousands on it, it's all about
0:17:56 > 0:18:02what you put on it, but the parents through an app can block the card if
0:18:02 > 0:18:07they want if it goes missing or something.What do you think, Mike?
0:18:07 > 0:18:10When kids were younger they had the plastic toy cards they could play
0:18:10 > 0:18:16with.They're just taking it a step further.They are. It is probably
0:18:16 > 0:18:22easier to carry around than a piggy bank. Lots of coins in a pig! At the
0:18:22 > 0:18:26Winter Olympics, if they wanted to make a sequel to Cool Runnings,
0:18:26 > 0:18:32about the Jamaican bobsled team, they they have the plot happening
0:18:32 > 0:18:36the next few days. The women are competing over the next few days,
0:18:36 > 0:18:42their coach, a German competitor, she has quit and the trouble is,
0:18:42 > 0:18:46this is over a disagreement with the rest of the team over her role, she
0:18:46 > 0:18:50owns the sled and suggestion is she might take it home with her. It's my
0:18:50 > 0:18:56ball!You can't play with my ball.I don't know whether she will because
0:18:56 > 0:19:00she is close to the team. But she might take the sled away but
0:19:00 > 0:19:06hopefully there will be a happy ending on that. Final word on the
0:19:06 > 0:19:13suits, the British sliders' suits, the aerodynamic lycra, it has been
0:19:13 > 0:19:16announced completely legitimate by the governing body but the rivals
0:19:16 > 0:19:21and opponents are still moaning. It could be a clever move by the
0:19:21 > 0:19:24British team, getting the other teams focusing on the kit rather
0:19:24 > 0:19:29than being fastest.It happened with the rugby when they wore the tight
0:19:29 > 0:19:33T-shirts and everyone moaned.If you can get inside the mind of your
0:19:33 > 0:19:39opponents, district them then it can work.We will hear from Amy Williams
0:19:39 > 0:19:44and sherry Alcott later in the programme -- distract.This is about
0:19:44 > 0:19:49money again but how much do you think you need to earn on average to
0:19:49 > 0:19:57be happy? This is a study that suggests £43,000 a year as a joint
0:19:57 > 0:20:02income will make you are emotionally happen but if you start earning more
0:20:02 > 0:20:06than £68,000 it isn't good news. The debate is how much do you need to
0:20:06 > 0:20:13earn to be happy and content and live where? That's the debate.If
0:20:13 > 0:20:18you had a joint income like that in many cities, to try to get on the
0:20:18 > 0:20:24property ladder, you won't be able to.What is the average wage,
0:20:24 > 0:20:29£26,000?£27,000, it has just gone up. There's room to grow but
0:20:29 > 0:20:33interesting, win you talk about this, average wages finally starting
0:20:33 > 0:20:39to go up -- when you talk. Employers haven't felt the pressure to put
0:20:39 > 0:20:45wages up, given the inflation rate is high, wages starting to go up
0:20:45 > 0:20:50with the employment market doing well. Some way to go before £43,000
0:20:50 > 0:20:55but anyway. I think my button just came under an!Flashing very early!
0:20:55 > 0:20:58Thanks, Mike!
0:20:58 > 0:21:02An inquest is to be opened into the death of a young woman
0:21:02 > 0:21:04with learning disabilities after BBC Breakfast raised concerns
0:21:04 > 0:21:05about her care.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07Laura Booth died four weeks after going in to hospital
0:21:07 > 0:21:10for a routine operation.
0:21:10 > 0:21:13The news comes as Mencap and the Royal College of Nursing
0:21:13 > 0:21:16call for compulsory learning disability training for all NHS
0:21:16 > 0:21:16staff in England.
0:21:16 > 0:21:23Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin reports.
0:21:23 > 0:21:29The house is the same as the day Laura left. Her Tories aren't
0:21:29 > 0:21:37touched.We can't move them. We just can't.-- her Tories.We do miss her
0:21:37 > 0:21:43because she was our sunshine always -- her Tories.We went into the
0:21:43 > 0:21:50hospital with our daughter for an eye operation and and we came out
0:21:50 > 0:21:53with a death certificate.In September, 2016 their daughter went
0:21:53 > 0:21:57to the Royal Hallamshire hospital in Sheffield for a routine operation.
0:21:57 > 0:22:02She was 21. Over the following four weeks Laura's health deteriorated.
0:22:02 > 0:22:06She wasn't eating and was taking only fluids. The family say they
0:22:06 > 0:22:11repeatedly asked the hospital to the Vlore intravenously with what is
0:22:11 > 0:22:15called a TPN.We kept saying to them, when you going to sort
0:22:15 > 0:22:19something, when are you going to do something? This is not right, she
0:22:19 > 0:22:25can't stay like this.On the day Laura died at the TPN came but it
0:22:25 > 0:22:30was too late.Her death was put down to natural causes, but we've spoken
0:22:30 > 0:22:34to an independent expert who has concerns. He believes in
0:22:34 > 0:22:38malnutrition may have contributed to Laura's death, concerns we've shared
0:22:38 > 0:22:43with the coroner, who has come in the last 24 hours, ordered an
0:22:43 > 0:22:48inquest. The hospital say that we are so very sorry that some aspects
0:22:48 > 0:22:51of Laura's care were not of the standard we would normally expect,
0:22:51 > 0:22:57and they say that Laura was being given nutrients in liquid form and
0:22:57 > 0:23:00that was constantly being reviewed, that Laura's condition was so
0:23:00 > 0:23:05complex it did have an impact on the way in which she was fed. In a
0:23:05 > 0:23:11letter to the family after Laura's death, the hospital said services
0:23:11 > 0:23:19are not primarily design for these kinds of patients.
0:23:19 > 0:23:22kinds of patients.We're not dealing with people like Laura, we're not
0:23:22 > 0:23:26used to them sort of people coming over here. When they said that, I
0:23:26 > 0:23:35felt horrible. This is not right. Today, the hospital told us they had
0:23:35 > 0:23:41already made changes. More specialist nurses, better trained
0:23:41 > 0:23:44staff, but Mencap, backed by the Royal College of Nursing is calling
0:23:44 > 0:23:47for mandate to read learning disability training for all NHS
0:23:47 > 0:23:53staff. Training like this taking place in guys hospital with the help
0:23:53 > 0:23:59of Lloyd to better meet the needs of this community, to cut the number of
0:23:59 > 0:24:02premature avoidable deaths.We also want to have the right equal
0:24:02 > 0:24:10healthcare treatment that we've thoroughly deserve and there should
0:24:10 > 0:24:13be no discrimination or sidelining at all.Neither NHS England or the
0:24:13 > 0:24:18Department of Health would respond to these specific call for mandatory
0:24:18 > 0:24:22training, both had said they made learning disability is a national
0:24:22 > 0:24:26priority and would continue to improve training. Laura's parents
0:24:26 > 0:24:31felt their girl's life wasn't valued equally.What they see is the person
0:24:31 > 0:24:35that's in that bed with all the disabilities, she can't talk, she
0:24:35 > 0:24:39can't walk, this that and the other... What they didn't see at the
0:24:39 > 0:24:44back was that lovely girl that we knew what was so happy, like going
0:24:44 > 0:24:50out shopping, loved going and getting handbags. That's what they
0:24:50 > 0:24:53didn't see, they just saw her disability.
0:24:53 > 0:24:58Jayne is with us.
0:24:58 > 0:25:01So hearing from Patricia and ten asking the questions you would ask
0:25:01 > 0:25:07in those circumstances -- and Ken. There's been news that there will be
0:25:07 > 0:25:11an inquest?There will be. We share these concerns that were raised with
0:25:11 > 0:25:15the coroner yesterday about noon and within two hours his office
0:25:15 > 0:25:19contacted the family to say there will be an inquest and it will take
0:25:19 > 0:25:23place on Tuesday -- we shared. The family are delighted... That's the
0:25:23 > 0:25:27wrong word, but they want scrutiny, this is absolutely what they want.
0:25:27 > 0:25:31Why wasn't there scrutiny in the first place? Because the coroner was
0:25:31 > 0:25:35told Laura's death was down to natural causes. It would be wrong
0:25:35 > 0:25:38for us to pre-empt, we can't possibly pre-empt the inquest that
0:25:38 > 0:25:42is about to come, but we know too many learning disability deaths are
0:25:42 > 0:25:47put down to natural causes. We do know that in one hospital trust
0:25:47 > 0:25:52because of the Southern health review that 1% of learning
0:25:52 > 0:25:54disability deaths were properly investigated. This is a problem.
0:25:54 > 0:25:59This is why in a couple of hours in London, Mencap, together with the
0:25:59 > 0:26:03Royal College of Nursing are going to be making this three-year call
0:26:03 > 0:26:08for action. Nobody should work in the NHS if they haven't had this
0:26:08 > 0:26:13mandate to read training, very basic training in learning disability
0:26:13 > 0:26:17people and the healthcare they need. We will leave it there for now,
0:26:17 > 0:26:20Jayne, thank you.
0:26:20 > 0:26:21You're watching Breakfast.
0:26:21 > 0:26:22Still to come:
0:26:22 > 0:26:24Once branded a totem and a piece
0:26:24 > 0:26:25of bad engineering,
0:26:25 > 0:26:27the Angel of the North has been
0:26:27 > 0:26:28watching over Gateshead for 20 years.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31We'll look at how the sculpture has gone on to become
0:26:31 > 0:26:38one of Britain's best loved and most recognised pieces of art.
0:26:38 > 0:26:39Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
0:29:58 > 0:30:00with perhaps some outbreaks of light rain and drizzle, so milder
0:30:00 > 0:30:04temperatures as we move through the next few days and into the weekend.
0:30:04 > 0:30:07I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
0:30:07 > 0:30:08in half an hour.
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga.
0:30:10 > 0:30:16Bye for now.
0:30:16 > 0:30:18Hello - this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Stayt.
0:30:19 > 0:30:21Coming up this morning.
0:30:21 > 0:30:23As the Oxfam aid worker sex scandal continues,
0:30:23 > 0:30:25we'll ask whether it will shake public confidence in giving
0:30:25 > 0:30:33money to charity.
0:30:33 > 0:30:34Antimo Magnotta
0:30:34 > 0:30:36was the pianist on board the Costa Concordia cruise ship
0:30:36 > 0:30:38which sank six years ago.
0:30:38 > 0:30:45He'll tell us how that tragic night shaped the sound of his music.
0:30:45 > 0:30:47What do your kids spend their pocket money?
0:30:47 > 0:30:53From tech to trainers, they spend more than 1 thousand
0:30:53 > 0:30:55-- £1,000 a year each.
0:30:55 > 0:30:58We'll get some top tips on how they can be savvy
0:30:58 > 0:30:58with their savings.
0:30:58 > 0:31:04Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
0:31:04 > 0:31:07At least 17 people including children and teachers have been
0:31:07 > 0:31:10killed after a gun attack at a high school in Florida.
0:31:10 > 0:31:12Several other people are being treated in hospital.
0:31:12 > 0:31:14Shortly after the shootings, police arrested a 19-year-old
0:31:14 > 0:31:16former pupil who'd been expelled from the school
0:31:16 > 0:31:22in Parkland, around 50 miles north of Miami.
0:31:22 > 0:31:27Jacob Zuma has resigned as president of South Africa after nine years in
0:31:27 > 0:31:31power. His timing of this has been marked by allegations of corruption
0:31:31 > 0:31:36and his own party, the ANC, had threatened to ball falls in vote of
0:31:36 > 0:31:40no-confidence. In a statement he said he was quitting with immediate
0:31:40 > 0:31:45effect and he disagreed with his ANC party party's decision.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48The consumption of highly-processed foods, including cakes,
0:31:48 > 0:31:51chicken nuggets and mass-produced bread is linked to the risk
0:31:51 > 0:31:53of cancer, according to researchers in France.
0:31:53 > 0:31:56The study of more than 100,000 people is published
0:31:56 > 0:31:57in the British Medical Journal.
0:31:57 > 0:32:00Experts have expressed caution, but continue to advise eating
0:32:00 > 0:32:01a health balanced diet.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03-- healthy.
0:32:03 > 0:32:05The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
0:32:05 > 0:32:07for a cyber attack last year, which affected businesses
0:32:07 > 0:32:08around the world.
0:32:08 > 0:32:10The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
0:32:10 > 0:32:13was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
0:32:13 > 0:32:13and weaponising information".
0:32:13 > 0:32:21Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.

0:32:30 > 0:32:30Financial advisers exploited steelworkers, according to impaired
0:32:30 > 0:32:36-- MPs. It cost the people involved thousands of pounds and Financial
0:32:36 > 0:32:40Conduct Authority did too little little to break -- to protect after
0:32:40 > 0:32:44the closure of the British steel pension scheme.
0:32:44 > 0:32:46Differences in life expectancy between the richest and poorest
0:32:46 > 0:32:49neighbourhoods have widened according to a new report.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52The Longevity Science Panel found that a boy born in one
0:32:52 > 0:32:55of the most affluent areas such as St Albans will outlive one born
0:32:55 > 0:32:58in one of the poorest places which include Knowlsey and Blackpool
0:32:58 > 0:33:04by nearly 8.5 years.
0:33:04 > 0:33:08The consumers Association says faulty household appliances are
0:33:08 > 0:33:13causing 60 fires a week in the UK and says a third of the blazes are
0:33:13 > 0:33:17started by washing machines and tumble dryers. It is written to
0:33:17 > 0:33:24ministers to give them 90 days to address the issue.
0:33:24 > 0:33:28Mike has got the support. So many are asking me, when will the first
0:33:28 > 0:33:34medal come for us? We won't have to wait too much longer. The Dan slalom
0:33:34 > 0:33:39tomorrow but Don Parsons, he is within touching distance in the
0:33:39 > 0:33:47skeleton. -- the downhill slalom. He is so close to getting a medal. That
0:33:47 > 0:33:55is look at how he slid his way into medal contention.
0:33:55 > 0:34:00Look closely. Everybody else is. At the second skin on a suburban --
0:34:00 > 0:34:04skeleton. The suits have come under scrutiny. Whether they give an
0:34:04 > 0:34:09advantage not, worn by Don Parsons, it is a good fit. The halfway mark
0:34:09 > 0:34:13in lies within touching distance after two impressive performances.
0:34:13 > 0:34:19Hopefully I can sleep tonight. The last four years has just been
0:34:19 > 0:34:24working to this one moments I'm going to make the most of it.He
0:34:24 > 0:34:31would do well to catch the South Korean ironman, Yun. He is doing
0:34:31 > 0:34:34well on a track that looks tailor-made for the Koreans. The
0:34:34 > 0:34:38showpiece is the men's downhill on the slopes, the equivalent of the
0:34:38 > 0:34:46100m final. All or nothing. The Norwegian Syndal will take home a
0:34:46 > 0:34:52shiny gold medal this time. Magnificent, and the Vikings are
0:34:52 > 0:34:57celebrating. He has flown a fighter jet and given a jet car. His need
0:34:57 > 0:35:07for speed has been quenched the now. Michaela Schiffrin delivered, with a
0:35:07 > 0:35:15second gold at the age of 22. Britain's Alex Tilley also letter of
0:35:15 > 0:35:19the big debut slip by. Crashes are common in the snowboard cross wacky
0:35:19 > 0:35:30races on snow. Defending champion PA Voltier avoided the dust of the
0:35:30 > 0:35:34antics and nobody could catch on. Slightly more sedate at the curling.
0:35:34 > 0:35:41No less tense. As Britain lost for the first time in PyeongChang to the
0:35:41 > 0:35:46USA.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49USA. Curling, the men leading Japan at the moment.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51Away from Pyeongchang, there was another hugely impressive
0:35:51 > 0:35:53performance from an English side in the Champions League.
0:35:53 > 0:35:56It was Liverpool's first game in the knock-out stages for nine
0:35:56 > 0:35:59years and they marked the occasion in style.
0:35:59 > 0:36:02A hat-trick from Sadio Mane helped them to a 5-0 away win
0:36:02 > 0:36:10against Portuguese side Porto.
0:36:13 > 0:36:19That is a very good one. Exactly as good as necessary so at the end, it
0:36:19 > 0:36:24was a high result but I think everybody saw in the game and all
0:36:24 > 0:36:29the moments where we weren't as compact. They had their moments, we
0:36:29 > 0:36:35scored in the right moment.
0:36:35 > 0:36:42And Joanna Konta has made it through to the last 16 in Qatar. She had a
0:36:42 > 0:36:47good win, getting past the world number 29 and she now faces
0:36:47 > 0:36:54Angelique Kerber for a place in the quarterfinals.
0:36:59 > 0:37:07Budding sports photographers, take note. It can be quite hazardous.
0:37:07 > 0:37:11note. It can be quite hazardous. As Switzerland's Lara Gut, wiped out,
0:37:11 > 0:37:15so she sends the photographers flying for cover. Another guy in the
0:37:15 > 0:37:23middle, he is very agile. No one was injured.We saw that a couple of
0:37:23 > 0:37:27days ago.They have to be alert which is quite hard when you are
0:37:27 > 0:37:33looking down the lens.The one guy there had tactics. The kind of
0:37:33 > 0:37:39leptin front.He could be an ice dancer.Interesting knowing that
0:37:39 > 0:37:45they know how to crash and how to fall. The skiers. As they are
0:37:45 > 0:37:49sliding down, they are looking to see whether they are going.It's a
0:37:49 > 0:37:54very important part of all those winter sports, learning how to fall
0:37:54 > 0:38:00properly. Look at the snowboarders. The other one that gets me is the
0:38:00 > 0:38:05double luge when they are lying on each other. Incredible.
0:38:05 > 0:38:07Talks aimed at restoring power sharing to Northern Ireland's
0:38:07 > 0:38:09devolved government have broken down according
0:38:09 > 0:38:11to the Democratic Unionist Party leader, Arlene Foster.
0:38:11 > 0:38:13to the Democratic Unionist Party leader,
0:38:13 > 0:38:16She says the key sticking point is the demand to give
0:38:16 > 0:38:17the Irish language official status.
0:38:17 > 0:38:20Sinn Fein have accused the DUP of collapsing the process.
0:38:20 > 0:38:23This is what people from all sides of the political spectrum in Belfast
0:38:23 > 0:38:29made of the news.
0:38:29 > 0:38:38I think it's a big disappointment and I'd just wish she could get over
0:38:38 > 0:38:41the line and get things up and running.Sometimes you'll have to
0:38:41 > 0:38:46think if we vote to someone they don't get on each other and think of
0:38:46 > 0:38:49different parties. Certainly I'm looking at different parties to make
0:38:49 > 0:38:52a right choice but unfortunately we will send a future that something
0:38:52 > 0:38:57has to change.I think she is just right. We don't even know what the
0:38:57 > 0:39:04Irish Act means. On the cards, no way. When two prime ministers come
0:39:04 > 0:39:08together.I hope that they would find some kind of solution. When I
0:39:08 > 0:39:14first heard about it over a year ago. But the longer it goes on, I
0:39:14 > 0:39:18believe the worse the situation we may find ourselves in.I just think
0:39:18 > 0:39:24both sides at the moment are being, obviously they have problems with
0:39:24 > 0:39:28either sides arguments and things but they are trying to put their
0:39:28 > 0:39:33differences aside and sort out the country. Which is falling apart
0:39:33 > 0:39:34slightly.
0:39:34 > 0:39:38Let's speak to our correspondent, Keith Doyle who is in Belfast for us
0:39:38 > 0:39:43this morning.
0:39:43 > 0:39:48People there just want some stability.What can be done? You can
0:39:48 > 0:39:51sense the exasperation here in Northern Ireland, the fact these
0:39:51 > 0:39:56talks have broken down, but you can't underestimate the importance
0:39:56 > 0:40:01and the polarising impact of the Irish language here. It is a real
0:40:01 > 0:40:05issue. Sinn Fein and the Democratic Unionists, they were in power and
0:40:05 > 0:40:09the only way the sharing executive works if there are two parties from
0:40:09 > 0:40:14opposite sides working together. When Sinn Fein pulled out last
0:40:14 > 0:40:20January, that brought the executive down and the only way to get back is
0:40:20 > 0:40:25if they can make some agreement and get back into power. Sinn Fein said
0:40:25 > 0:40:28it will not go back into power unless there is a stand-alone Irish
0:40:28 > 0:40:32Language Act, putting the Irish language on some sort of official
0:40:32 > 0:40:37status. The DUP are deeply worried about that. We thought there was
0:40:37 > 0:40:43some sort of agreement. We had Theresa May here on Monday. We
0:40:43 > 0:40:47thought there would be some sort of agreement but the DUP can't sell
0:40:47 > 0:40:51that issue of Irish Language Act to its grassroots. There is a section
0:40:51 > 0:40:55of society worried about seeing signs in the Irish language, Irish
0:40:55 > 0:41:02language quotas in civil servant jobs, that sort of thing.Explained
0:41:02 > 0:41:05the practical things. There are decisions involving hundreds of
0:41:05 > 0:41:10thousands of pounds that need to be made. Who can make these decisions
0:41:10 > 0:41:15in the absence of an executive? There is no government here. The
0:41:15 > 0:41:20decisions for the last 13 months are the day-to-day running being done by
0:41:20 > 0:41:27civil servants here. Any big decisions, on Hospital, roads, the
0:41:27 > 0:41:33just simply haven't been made and that is the exasperation. All sides
0:41:33 > 0:41:38say they want devolved government back. Without the executive back in
0:41:38 > 0:41:43power, those decisions aren't being made and they are being made by
0:41:43 > 0:41:48London. London has issued a Budget for Northern Ireland and it's likely
0:41:48 > 0:41:54to do that again and between the lines of the DUP statement, they
0:41:54 > 0:41:58definitely want London to issue a Budget but the look there between
0:41:58 > 0:42:02the lines is for direct rule again. The Irish and British governments
0:42:02 > 0:42:07definitely do not want that. The Northern Ireland Secretary Karen
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Bradley said there are some challenging dishes and is ahead and
0:42:11 > 0:42:18there really are. What we are likely to see is Westminster issuing a
0:42:18 > 0:42:22Budget in the near future and those decisions could be direct rule or
0:42:22 > 0:42:26more elections for Northern Ireland but it is unlikely that will solve
0:42:26 > 0:42:34the problem.' to situation. Always good to talk to you.
0:42:34 > 0:42:42Time format's weather forecast. -- Time for the weather forecast.
0:42:42 > 0:42:45Time format's weather forecast. -- Time for the weather forecast. We
0:42:45 > 0:42:49have some showers falling at the moment and some of those will be
0:42:49 > 0:42:55sleet and snow as we have seen for a good while. The blue colours, the
0:42:55 > 0:43:04rain showers, fairly well scattered. The snow showers are packing in. But
0:43:04 > 0:43:08they're covering of snow over the high ground. We'll see some snow at
0:43:08 > 0:43:15times. Further south, it would look into closer detail after lunch, you
0:43:15 > 0:43:22will notice there are still some big gaps in Macau -- cloud. A few
0:43:22 > 0:43:25showers drifting across Southern counties. While there will be rain
0:43:25 > 0:43:34showers, a touch of snow possible. North and west of Northern Ireland,
0:43:34 > 0:43:37particularly across the Highlands of Scotland, because the upto 20
0:43:37 > 0:43:45centimetres of snow. Of course, on the hills, you can see by the blue
0:43:45 > 0:43:53colours, it is going to say -- stay sub zero throughout. It will feel
0:43:53 > 0:44:03quite pleasant. Quite a bit of cloud at times. Reducing further snow
0:44:03 > 0:44:09flurries and a few showers across the West of England and Wales. The
0:44:09 > 0:44:14other thing to look out for tonight, clear skies across the north and
0:44:14 > 0:44:18north-east of Scotland. This is our Aurora chart. The reds, more likely,
0:44:18 > 0:44:24the Green, a smaller chance. You could catch the aurora with clear
0:44:24 > 0:44:29skies across parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland in particular.
0:44:29 > 0:44:36Cloud will begin in western areas. A little bit of hill snow. After a
0:44:36 > 0:44:42frosty and at places cloudy start and a dry and reasonably sunny day
0:44:42 > 0:44:50ahead. Clear skies across England and Wales, a chilly start. Through
0:44:50 > 0:44:56Saturday, some areas will brighten up. In between, southern Scotland
0:44:56 > 0:45:02and Northern Ireland, some or cloud. A weak weather front. We'll see some
0:45:02 > 0:45:09patches of rain in drizzle. This weather system on Sunday, giving us
0:45:09 > 0:45:15a bit of a headache. At the moment, it does look like it will be England
0:45:15 > 0:45:20and Wales. Outbreaks of Wayne and the rest -- in the West. Further
0:45:20 > 0:45:25north, more likely to stay dry but there is a chance the rain -- there
0:45:25 > 0:45:30is a chance the rain band could intensify. Most places, ten or 11
0:45:30 > 0:45:35degrees. The milder theme will continue this weekend but next week
0:45:35 > 0:45:40it looks like temperatures could drop.
0:45:40 > 0:45:46Using to say that ahead of every weekend. I'm going to enjoy the
0:45:46 > 0:45:51yellow numbers on Sunday -- you seem to say. The are is tonight in the
0:45:51 > 0:45:54far north of Scotland?A small chance tonight in the far north of
0:45:54 > 0:46:03Scotland and Northern Ireland -- the are. Clear skies are needed, though.
0:46:03 > 0:46:07Later on can we have a scientific explanation for it, please?Yes,
0:46:07 > 0:46:17after 9am.OK, Matt, see you later!
0:46:17 > 0:46:24All the business coming up in a few minutes.
0:46:24 > 0:46:28Children some Asiana Air as 12 are being banned from driving before
0:46:28 > 0:46:33they even legal of two drive -- children some as young as. The
0:46:33 > 0:46:38number has risen by almost 50% over the last four years. Phil Bodmer has
0:46:38 > 0:46:42been to meet the sisters of a young boy killed by a teenager driving
0:46:42 > 0:46:46illegally.
0:46:46 > 0:46:51The killed him and we didn't get to see him... Well, we saw him but we
0:46:51 > 0:46:56had to look through a window.A window, we couldn't touch him.We
0:46:56 > 0:47:00couldn't touch him, we couldn't see him, it was a rural thing.
0:47:00 > 0:47:04Distraught sister is describing the agony of losing their 15-year-old
0:47:04 > 0:47:08brother in a fatal car crash. Darnell Harte was killed alongside
0:47:08 > 0:47:12two other children and two men. They were passengers in a stolen car
0:47:12 > 0:47:16which hit a tree at high speed in Leeds last November. A 15-year-old
0:47:16 > 0:47:21boy was jailed for 4.5 years for dangerous driving but he's far from
0:47:21 > 0:47:28alone in being an underage driver.I was putting people in danger and
0:47:28 > 0:47:32their lives matter to other people's families.Mike started driving on
0:47:32 > 0:47:36the streets of Bradford and 16, he and his friends used to hire a car
0:47:36 > 0:47:41to take out onto the roads.If there a group of us, we will all chip in
0:47:41 > 0:47:45and we'll let an older person know we want a car and they will get a
0:47:45 > 0:47:50car from someone is and bring it to us. I do get a rush when I want to
0:47:50 > 0:48:03put my foot down and go crazy.In 2014 almost 700 children
0:48:04 > 0:48:062014 almost 700 children aged 16 and under were disqualified from
0:48:06 > 0:48:09driving, however last year that number had risen to more than 1000,
0:48:09 > 0:48:13an increase of 47%.This is the tip of the iceberg because of course
0:48:13 > 0:48:16they have to be caught breaking the law in this way and inevitably many
0:48:16 > 0:48:20won't be, they will get away scot-free.Elyse and Natasha are now
0:48:20 > 0:48:23cutting, calling for tougher jail terms. The Minister of Justice said
0:48:23 > 0:48:27it will bring forward changes to the law as soon as an entry time allows.
0:48:27 > 0:48:28Phil Bodmer, BBC News.
0:48:28 > 0:48:32We will be talking about that issue later. One of the things that is odd
0:48:32 > 0:48:36about the banning of children, a 12 or 13-year-old if they get a
0:48:36 > 0:48:40two-year ban, they serve that ban at that age and then by the time they
0:48:40 > 0:48:43are 17 they can drive, the ban has been used up even though they
0:48:43 > 0:48:51weren't old enough to drive.We will explain all of that later.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54Ben is taking a look at what children are spending
0:48:54 > 0:48:55their pocket money on.
0:48:55 > 0:49:00Nearly £1000 each? That is a lot of money.It all racks up and for big
0:49:00 > 0:49:04business, they want a slice of that, we're talking about whether there's
0:49:04 > 0:49:07too much pressure on young people from advertisers and peer pressure
0:49:07 > 0:49:12to spend that money rather than perhaps saving it. We've been
0:49:12 > 0:49:13looking at some of the numbers.
0:49:13 > 0:49:17It might be a few pounds here and there, but for the firms
0:49:17 > 0:49:19vying for that money it's big business.
0:49:19 > 0:49:21We're talking about young people and their pocket money.
0:49:21 > 0:49:24And we have a glimpse of what children are spending
0:49:24 > 0:49:26on with new figures this morning.
0:49:26 > 0:49:28The ONS says the average 15-year-old gets through
0:49:28 > 0:49:32£1,300 a year.
0:49:32 > 0:49:38A typical 13 to 15-year-old girl spends £1.70 a week on cosmetics
0:49:38 > 0:49:43and toiletries, that's about £88 a year.
0:49:43 > 0:49:46For boys that figure was nearer £5.
0:49:46 > 0:49:49But one of the biggest expenses for boys was computer games.
0:49:49 > 0:49:51That came in at around £57.20 a year.
0:49:51 > 0:49:53As advertisers target that spending, is the pressure
0:49:53 > 0:50:01on young people increasing?
0:50:03 > 0:50:05Michael Mercheka is chief executive of Young Money,
0:50:05 > 0:50:08a charity that teaches young people to manage their finances.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11He joins us from our London newsroom.
0:50:11 > 0:50:16Michael, good morning. Are you surprised by any of these figures?
0:50:16 > 0:50:20£1300 sounds quite a lot for pocket money.I'm not too surprised.
0:50:20 > 0:50:24I think it's an average from five -year-olds to 15 -year-olds and at
0:50:24 > 0:50:28the lower end of five to seven -year-olds in their spending £5 or
0:50:28 > 0:50:34£6 a week and at the high end it is closer to £12 a week. It includes
0:50:34 > 0:50:38gifts and work people do so I'm not hugely surprised by the amount,
0:50:38 > 0:50:42note.One of the big issues here is financial education of course,
0:50:42 > 0:50:47teaching people how to manage that money and spend it wisely but also
0:50:47 > 0:50:51perhaps save some of it. Let's talk about spending it first of all. Is
0:50:51 > 0:50:57there
0:50:57 > 0:51:00there too much pressure on young people because business says we want
0:51:00 > 0:51:04a slice of this money, spend it with us, is there too much pressure on
0:51:04 > 0:51:07them to spend it?There's always been advertising pressure on people
0:51:07 > 0:51:10to spend but with social media and really targeted advertising at young
0:51:10 > 0:51:14people, I think there is huge pressure to spend. I think the focus
0:51:14 > 0:51:21on the Facebook and Twitter type being out there seeing your having a
0:51:21 > 0:51:25good time and looking good, that's hugely increased pressure on young
0:51:25 > 0:51:29people, yes.Let's talk about saving because saving and getting their
0:51:29 > 0:51:34idea of putting money away for a rainy day to be instilled in young
0:51:34 > 0:51:38people at an early age?I totally agree. I think it's really important
0:51:38 > 0:51:43to start at a young age, and by that we mean primary school, because we
0:51:43 > 0:51:47do have a huge debt problem in the UK. With the second most indebted
0:51:47 > 0:51:54nation in the G8. -- we're the second. There are basic principles
0:51:54 > 0:51:59you can teach in school and it's not on the curriculum in primary
0:51:59 > 0:52:02schools, it's on the secondary state curriculum, but there are basic
0:52:02 > 0:52:07messages about saving and spending and risk and reward. I think it's
0:52:07 > 0:52:11really important that those lessons are taught in an interesting way to
0:52:11 > 0:52:15young people, and that can be done. Some of the biggest decision in our
0:52:15 > 0:52:19lives involve money, be that your mortgage, your job, your pension.
0:52:19 > 0:52:23Why isn't there more education for young people about issues like that?
0:52:23 > 0:52:28I think at the moment in the UK you have quite a narrow focus on the
0:52:28 > 0:52:34academic subjects, so what Young Money does as a charity is to
0:52:34 > 0:52:37support teachers to build financial education into the existing
0:52:37 > 0:52:40curriculum subjects, and you can make geography field trips quite
0:52:40 > 0:52:46interesting in a financial way. It's just that teachers do what they have
0:52:46 > 0:52:51to do, which is delivered the grades on the curriculum, so until we widen
0:52:51 > 0:52:54that to include things like financial education and skills
0:52:54 > 0:52:59education, it's going to be a pressure on teachers.Michael, good
0:52:59 > 0:53:03to talk to you, thanks very much. Interesting when you look at these
0:53:03 > 0:53:06figures, another one to tell you, girls between seven and 15 spend
0:53:06 > 0:53:12twice as much as boys on books, £15 a year. Boys spend ten times as much
0:53:12 > 0:53:21a girls on computer games. More from me after 7am.Thanks very much, Ben.
0:53:21 > 0:53:25Set up on the site of a colliery, Antony Gormley's the Angel
0:53:25 > 0:53:27of the North celebrates its 20th anniversary this week.
0:53:27 > 0:53:30It initially divided opinion with the late art critic
0:53:30 > 0:53:32Brian Sewell describing it as a monstrosity.
0:53:32 > 0:53:35Fiona Trott examines how the 200-tonne steel sculpture has
0:53:35 > 0:53:43gone onto become one of Britain's most popular landmarks.
0:53:48 > 0:53:53The unmistakable Angel of the North, towering over the A1 in Gateshead.
0:53:53 > 0:53:57It's one of the most photographed landmarks in Britain and viewed by
0:53:57 > 0:54:0331 million people every year.I've grown to love it. I think people do
0:54:03 > 0:54:07have a very warm feeling about it. It's an artwork that doesn't stand
0:54:07 > 0:54:12on its own as an artwork in a gallery but it's very much part of
0:54:12 > 0:54:19everyday life and in Gateshead in this region.In the middle of the
0:54:19 > 0:54:23night 20 years ago, the Angel of the North made its slow journey up the
0:54:23 > 0:54:29A1. It was built in Hartlepool. Its body, as long as four double-decker
0:54:29 > 0:54:34buses. Its wings, wider than a Boeing 757. People gathered at the
0:54:34 > 0:54:38former colliery site in Gateshead to watch it put in place. An historic
0:54:38 > 0:54:44moment. And first people were sceptical, why an angel? Why so
0:54:44 > 0:54:47monumental? But soon they claimed it as their own, and that's exactly
0:54:47 > 0:54:52what the sculptor wanted.The fact is it's not my angel, it is the
0:54:52 > 0:55:02Angel of the North and that means a lot to me. I had an idea, but it was
0:55:02 > 0:55:06realised, it was made by the people of the north-east and it comes from
0:55:06 > 0:55:11that extraordinary story of the relationship between coalmining,
0:55:11 > 0:55:18Ryan, engineering and that history of the Industrial Revolution.For
0:55:18 > 0:55:22many it's a special place. There have even been marriage proposals
0:55:22 > 0:55:26here. Local people say it's put the north-east on the map.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30Northumberland is fabulous and the angel I think the pics just how good
0:55:30 > 0:55:35we are up here.Well, I'm up from London and I just wanted to see it
0:55:35 > 0:55:40for myself. I've heard about it before and, yeah, it's pretty
0:55:40 > 0:55:44impressive if you ask me.I think I didn't like it in the beginning, I
0:55:44 > 0:55:52think a lot of people would say that but it's really grown on me and now
0:55:52 > 0:55:56I love it.The popularity of the Angel has brought more money to the
0:55:56 > 0:55:59area too. Since it arrived here overnight visitor numbers have
0:55:59 > 0:56:03increased by 14%. This has led to a revenue increase of 48%. Newcastle
0:56:03 > 0:56:07and Gateshead make around £1.5 billion a year through tourism and
0:56:07 > 0:56:15they say the Angel is a major contributor to that. On its 20th
0:56:15 > 0:56:23birthday, the Angel is preparing for a medical. Like all structures, its
0:56:23 > 0:56:29joints need to be checked so it can stand proud for future generations.
0:56:29 > 0:56:34Fiona Trott, BBC News, Gateshead.
0:56:34 > 0:56:38Stunning pictures in the sun. It's a marker when you drive from north to
0:56:38 > 0:56:42South.It's a reassuring thing now, you're almost there.
0:56:42 > 1:00:03Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:00:03 > 1:00:05in half an hour.

1:01:24 > 1:01:29British Steel workers have been ripped off by advisers. We will look
1:01:29 > 1:01:37at why and what is being done to advise them.Is it all down to the
1:01:37 > 1:01:41new skeleton suits that they are doing so well? We will chat to Amy

1:02:02 > 1:02:03Mat with the weather.
1:02:03 > 1:02:06A few showers around again producing snow across the north and the West
1:02:06 > 1:02:08of the UK.
1:02:08 > 1:02:09First, our main story.
1:02:09 > 1:02:12At least 17 people including children and adults have been killed
1:02:12 > 1:02:15after a gun attack at a high school in Florida.
1:02:15 > 1:02:17Several other people are being treated in hospital.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19Shortly after the shootings, Police arrested a 19-year-old
1:02:19 > 1:02:25former pupil who'd been expelled from the school
1:02:25 > 1:02:29in Parkland, around 50 miles north of Miami.
1:02:29 > 1:02:32This was supposed to be one of the safest communities
1:02:32 > 1:02:33in the country.
1:02:33 > 1:02:35In an instant, these students became helpless targets,
1:02:35 > 1:02:41sheltering in place and fearing for their lives.
1:02:41 > 1:02:44Officials now suggest this was a well-planned plot to maximise
1:02:44 > 1:02:45the loss of life.
1:02:45 > 1:02:48Just moments before the end of the school day, a former student
1:02:48 > 1:02:51reportedly pulled the fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
1:02:51 > 1:02:53to draw out his unsuspecting victims.
1:02:53 > 1:02:56There had already been a drill earlier in the day but confused
1:02:56 > 1:03:00teachers followed procedure and began to exit the building.
1:03:00 > 1:03:06As soon the fire alarm got hold, and kids were evacuating,
1:03:06 > 1:03:10I heard five pops.
1:03:10 > 1:03:12I was like, "That's not a drill."
1:03:12 > 1:03:14We never did a drill like that.
1:03:14 > 1:03:17When we started evacuating back away towards the back,
1:03:17 > 1:03:20towards the the middle school, I knew it was more than a drill
1:03:20 > 1:03:22because we've never done that.
1:03:22 > 1:03:24Armed with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, he began firing outside
1:03:24 > 1:03:29and then continued inside the school as panic and chaos erupted.
1:03:29 > 1:03:32Police were warning the shooter was still at large, even
1:03:32 > 1:03:38as emergency workers rushed to treat those wounded.
1:03:38 > 1:03:42SWAT teams evacuated distressed students.
1:03:42 > 1:03:46In a row, some with hands in the air, others clinging to each
1:03:46 > 1:03:52other for support, they frantically rushed to safety.
1:03:52 > 1:03:55I see you, I see you, I see you!
1:03:55 > 1:03:57Parents, sick with, worry waited for news.
1:03:57 > 1:04:01The suspect was arrested without incident an hour later
1:04:01 > 1:04:04Police identified him as Nikolas Cruz, who had been expelled.
1:04:04 > 1:04:07He was taken into custody, I believe, about an hour
1:04:07 > 1:04:09after he left Stoneman Douglas, after he committed this horrific,
1:04:09 > 1:04:11homicidal, detestable act.
1:04:11 > 1:04:14This is the 18th school shooting in the United States this year.
1:04:14 > 1:04:19It's a uniquely American epidemic that has only gotten worse.
1:04:19 > 1:04:25Yet this country is more divided than ever on how
1:04:25 > 1:04:33to solve the problem.
1:04:36 > 1:04:40You will be speaking to a local journalist soon to bring you
1:04:40 > 1:04:42up-to-date. -- we will be.
1:04:42 > 1:04:45Jacob Zuma has resigned as President of South Africa after nine
1:04:45 > 1:04:46years in power.
1:04:46 > 1:04:49His time in office has been marred by allegations of corruption
1:04:49 > 1:04:52and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him out
1:04:52 > 1:04:54with a vote of no confidence.
1:04:54 > 1:04:57Our reporter Pumza Fihlani is in Johannesburg.
1:04:57 > 1:05:03Pumza, good to see you. What are the reactions like in terms of this
1:05:03 > 1:05:08resignation? Was it expected to come so smoothly?Good morning. A mixed
1:05:08 > 1:05:18reaction. It's been a long time coming for a lot of people. A lot of
1:05:18 > 1:05:22institutions have been involved in getting Jacobson out from civil
1:05:22 > 1:05:30society to opposition parties just students staging the Rome protests.
1:05:30 > 1:05:34How the President was running things. It wasn't expected, I must
1:05:34 > 1:05:39say, that it would go that smoothly. Some are saying this says a lot
1:05:39 > 1:05:42about the strength of South African democracy and the strength of its
1:05:42 > 1:05:47institutions, this was able to happen peacefully and South Africans
1:05:47 > 1:05:51are just waiting now for the new president to be sworn in in
1:05:51 > 1:05:57Parliament which could be later today.Pumza, much of the papers
1:05:57 > 1:06:00reacting to these are looking forward to how smooth the transition
1:06:00 > 1:06:10will be in terms of leadership of the ANC and the presidency.Correct.
1:06:10 > 1:06:15The man poised to take over, Cyril Ramaphosa, was the current deputy
1:06:15 > 1:06:20president and head of the African National Congress. He was filmed
1:06:20 > 1:06:27this morning going for a jog along the beach. No expectation of any
1:06:27 > 1:06:33interruptions. He is expected to be sworn in later today. His name will
1:06:33 > 1:06:36officially be presented in Parliament before Chambers for them
1:06:36 > 1:06:40to vote and he will be sworn in on Friday in his first call of business
1:06:40 > 1:06:46will be to present state of the nation address. The first time that
1:06:46 > 1:06:53he speaks, all things being equal, as the president of South Africa.
1:06:53 > 1:06:56There could be a link between a diet of ultra-processed foods and cancer,
1:06:56 > 1:06:58that's according to researchers in France.
1:06:58 > 1:07:00The study of more than 100,000 people suggests
1:07:00 > 1:07:03that those who ate more of products such as fizzy drinks,
1:07:03 > 1:07:05mass-produced bread and processed meats, had the highest
1:07:05 > 1:07:06rates of cancer.
1:07:06 > 1:07:08Here's our Health and Science correspondent James Gallagher.
1:07:08 > 1:07:11Ultra-processed foods include cakes, chocolate, mass-produced bread,
1:07:11 > 1:07:14crisps and pizza.
1:07:14 > 1:07:17It's delicious temptation and too much is bad for the waistline.
1:07:17 > 1:07:20We know being overweight increases the risk of cancer
1:07:20 > 1:07:22but is there something else about these foods that raises
1:07:22 > 1:07:27the risk even further?
1:07:27 > 1:07:31The study followed 105,000 French people for five years.
1:07:31 > 1:07:34It suggests increasing amounts of our diet that are ultra-processed
1:07:34 > 1:07:41by 10% is linked to a 12% increase in the risk of cancer but even
1:07:41 > 1:07:45the researchers say more work is needed to establish why such
1:07:45 > 1:07:48foods may increase cancer risk.
1:07:48 > 1:07:52So what should we do?
1:07:52 > 1:07:58A balanced diet, but actually even more importantly is maintaining
1:07:58 > 1:08:01a healthy weight and if we eat too many ultra-processed foods,
1:08:01 > 1:08:04then we do pile on the pounds and although this study didn't look
1:08:04 > 1:08:07closely at weight, we know very clearly what the links
1:08:07 > 1:08:09are
1:08:09 > 1:08:13and cancer, so I think it's a warning to us to have a healthy
1:08:13 > 1:08:14diet and be
1:08:14 > 1:08:16aware of the links between our diet and cancer.
1:08:16 > 1:08:19Other experts said the term "ultra-processed food" was so broad,
1:08:19 > 1:08:22it's hard to know what's really going on, and that other unhealthy
1:08:22 > 1:08:24habits could be muddying the waters.
1:08:24 > 1:08:27It's why the study is being described as an initial insight
1:08:27 > 1:08:29rather than definitive proof on the role of ultra-processed
1:08:29 > 1:08:37foods and cancer.
1:08:37 > 1:08:40The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
1:08:40 > 1:08:42for a cyber attack last year which affected businesses
1:08:42 > 1:08:43around the world.
1:08:43 > 1:08:45The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
1:08:45 > 1:08:47was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
1:08:47 > 1:08:49and weaponising information".
1:08:49 > 1:08:53Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
1:08:53 > 1:08:56Dubious financial advisors exploited former steel workers in a pensions
1:08:56 > 1:08:59mis-selling scandal according to MPs.
1:08:59 > 1:09:02The Work and Pensions Select Committee says it cost
1:09:02 > 1:09:04the people involved thousands of pounds,
1:09:04 > 1:09:07and that the Financial Conduct Authority did too little to protect
1:09:07 > 1:09:15them after the closure of the British Steel Pension Scheme.
1:09:15 > 1:09:20Last year, members of the old British Steel pension scheme based
1:09:20 > 1:09:22decision of their savings.
1:09:22 > 1:09:24British Steel pension scheme based decision of their savings. Workers
1:09:24 > 1:09:28could choose to transfer their benefits out of the scheme. A report
1:09:28 > 1:09:32by a committee of MPs says some of those who did were exploited,
1:09:32 > 1:09:39shamelessly bamboozled by dubious financial advisers.There have been
1:09:39 > 1:09:44people who probably had been fleeced of the most valuable asset they will
1:09:44 > 1:09:49have ever had, which they built up as part of their pension scheme of
1:09:49 > 1:09:56which these financial vultures have been after and in too many cases
1:09:56 > 1:10:01been successful in getting their claws on.We uncovered the case of
1:10:01 > 1:10:05Richard Bevan, who had transferred his benefit into a private scheme
1:10:05 > 1:10:09after seeking independent financial advice. He estimates the decision
1:10:09 > 1:10:14has cost him around £200,000. Another greedy sort of person that
1:10:14 > 1:10:19of obviously been led into something that wasn't right for me by a
1:10:19 > 1:10:25financial adviser. -- gullible. It is not a nice place to be at the
1:10:25 > 1:10:29moment.The Financial Conduct Authority is criticised in this
1:10:29 > 1:10:33report are not acting quickly enough after concerns were raised. It says
1:10:33 > 1:10:38it is reviewing its rules on pension transfers but for steelworkers like
1:10:38 > 1:10:44Richard, any changes will be too late.
1:10:46 > 1:10:49A lack of training to help professionals could be contributing
1:10:49 > 1:10:55to an avoidable deaths were people with learning disabilities. The are
1:10:55 > 1:11:00seeing says there has been a catastrophic decline in the number
1:11:00 > 1:11:04of disability learning nurses since 2010. The Department of Health and
1:11:04 > 1:11:07NHS England say they have made learning disabilities a national
1:11:07 > 1:11:10priority and will continue to improve training.I've never been
1:11:10 > 1:11:14more concerned than I am right now about the needs of people with
1:11:14 > 1:11:18learning disabilities not getting essential services, that they have
1:11:18 > 1:11:21the right to access, and they are being shortchanged and we need to
1:11:21 > 1:11:25stand together with our partners and say this is not acceptable. The
1:11:25 > 1:11:28consequences of not doing that are not paying attention to that are we
1:11:28 > 1:11:34will see more debts, premature deaths of people, and that is
1:11:34 > 1:11:40totally unacceptable as a society.
1:11:40 > 1:11:43More than 1000 driving bans were issued to children who are not
1:11:43 > 1:11:47legally old enough to be behind the wheel of a car. The figure has risen
1:11:47 > 1:11:53over 50% four years. Statistics were given to the BBC under the Freedom
1:11:53 > 1:11:58of Information Act. The RAC described the numbers as the tip of
1:11:58 > 1:12:02the iceberg.
1:12:02 > 1:12:07Matt will have the weather and the sport at half past.
1:12:07 > 1:12:11Let's return to our main story this morning and the news that at least
1:12:11 > 1:12:1317 people, including children and adults,
1:12:13 > 1:12:16have been killed in a mass shooting at a school in Florida.
1:12:16 > 1:12:19Let's speak to journalist James La Porta who lives nearby
1:12:19 > 1:12:22and has spent the day with worried parents at the scene.
1:12:22 > 1:12:26Thank you very much for your time this morning. Understand you have
1:12:26 > 1:12:29had the opportunity to speak some of the youngsters who were directly
1:12:29 > 1:12:37involved in the shooting to take us through what they have told you.I
1:12:37 > 1:12:42got here, I've been on the scene since about three o'clock yesterday
1:12:42 > 1:12:54evening. I live three miles away from where the shooting occurred. I
1:12:56 > 1:13:00report for the Daily Beast in New York city. As soon as I got up here,
1:13:00 > 1:13:04it was kind of a chaotic scene. Parents were desperately trying to
1:13:04 > 1:13:12reach their children and unfortunately, so many people were
1:13:12 > 1:13:17on their cellphones at the same time, it clogged up phone lines and
1:13:17 > 1:13:21accessing the Internet so getting information from inside the school
1:13:21 > 1:13:26was problematic. Some parents were able to eventually reach their
1:13:26 > 1:13:32children on the inside and some were not. The ones who were not, they
1:13:32 > 1:13:37really didn't know what to do. Many of the parents gathered in prayer
1:13:37 > 1:13:40circles and they just started praying because they didn't know
1:13:40 > 1:13:46what else to do.Have you had the opportunity to speak to any of those
1:13:46 > 1:13:51who were in the school and were evacuated safely?I have. One
1:13:51 > 1:13:56individual I spoke to yesterday, he was outside the school when the
1:13:56 > 1:14:02shooting occurred. The sequence of events that happened was, the
1:14:02 > 1:14:06shooter has allegedly pulled the fire alarm and by pulling the fire
1:14:06 > 1:14:11alarm, throughout the students and the students started to come out of
1:14:11 > 1:14:12classrooms and that's when the GUNFIRE
1:14:12 > 1:14:17started. This student was outside the building when that occurred.
1:14:17 > 1:14:22Initially, he heard five shots and he said he heard something that
1:14:22 > 1:14:29sounded like an AK-47. While it wasn't an AK-47, the shots he heard
1:14:29 > 1:14:37are in line with what officers recovered. They did
1:14:37 > 1:14:41recovered. They did recover an AR-15 type of weapon that the shooter was
1:14:41 > 1:14:45using. He eventually link up with his parents but his twin sister was
1:14:45 > 1:14:50still inside so it took a bit of time before those parents could be
1:14:50 > 1:14:57reunited and speaking to his father,, he essentially told me that
1:14:57 > 1:15:03it's become a standard line. We never think it will happen here and
1:15:03 > 1:15:09it does. Unfortunately, this shooting is the 18th shooting as a
1:15:09 > 1:15:13just this year and that's unfortunately the line we keep
1:15:13 > 1:15:21hearing, we never thought it would happen here, and it has.
1:15:21 > 1:15:26James, it's the early hours of the morning and there will be press
1:15:26 > 1:15:30conferences later in the day, but in terms of the timeline, how long was
1:15:30 > 1:15:35the shooter in the school between the time it began and he arrested?
1:15:35 > 1:15:42What I can gather based on reporting from multiple sources and multiple
1:15:42 > 1:15:48publications is the shooting occurred sometime between 2:30pm and
1:15:48 > 1:15:533pm yesterday, maybe leading up towards 3:30pm yesterday. Multiple
1:15:53 > 1:15:59shots were fired. 17 people are dead right now. I've heard at least 14
1:15:59 > 1:16:04people are injured and they've been taken to local area hospitals. Some
1:16:04 > 1:16:09of those people right now are fighting for their lives.
1:16:09 > 1:16:12Specifically one... There's a football coach who works at the high
1:16:12 > 1:16:18school who was also hired as a security guard. Reports indicate he
1:16:18 > 1:16:23took multiple gunshots as he was shielding students from the gunfire.
1:16:23 > 1:16:27Initial reports reported that he was dead, he's actually not dead but as
1:16:27 > 1:16:32of right now he's fighting for his life. In terms of apprehension, the
1:16:32 > 1:16:39gunman himself from what I've been told... The gunman took off running
1:16:39 > 1:16:45towards his place of residence and at some point in time he was
1:16:45 > 1:16:54captured within that timeframe. From about 3:30pm to around... And this
1:16:54 > 1:16:59is an estimation... Around 5:30 p.m., possibly 6pm. But that's just
1:16:59 > 1:17:03an estimate at this point.James, thank you for your time this
1:17:03 > 1:17:06morning, James LaPorta speaking to us from Florida with the very latest
1:17:06 > 1:17:11information about that shooting. As he was saying, it's been confirmed
1:17:11 > 1:17:1817 are dead following that shooting in Parkland in Florida.
1:17:18 > 1:17:22Time to talk to Matt to find out what's going on with the weather.
1:17:22 > 1:17:28It's that rocky road of mild, wet or cold and a bit brighter?
1:17:28 > 1:17:33It is. Over the next few days things are turning milder than we've been
1:17:33 > 1:17:37used to over the past week, but a wintry theme out there today,
1:17:37 > 1:17:41especially north and west. More sunshine than yesterday but wintry
1:17:41 > 1:17:45showers and snow over the hills of Scotland again. As we're seeing this
1:17:45 > 1:17:50morning, this is the latest rain and snow radar chart. You see the snow
1:17:50 > 1:17:53showers packing into northern and western Scotland and Northern
1:17:53 > 1:17:57Ireland. A few showers in England and Wales, mainly rain, a bit of
1:17:57 > 1:18:01sleet and snow in the tops of the Pennines, most will clear. Eased in
1:18:01 > 1:18:04areas will see showers through the day but in the west the showers will
1:18:04 > 1:18:08be everywhere -- Eastern. A breeze coming, not as strong as yesterday,
1:18:08 > 1:18:15but may be gale force wind winds around the coast. Around 50-6
1:18:15 > 1:18:20themph. A few showers, wintry over the tops of the Welsh hills. The
1:18:20 > 1:18:24chance of further snow flurries in the Cumbrian fells and the north
1:18:24 > 1:18:28Pennines. Most to the north and west of Northern Ireland and mainly
1:18:28 > 1:18:31across the Highlands and Islands of Scotland. In the Highlands we could
1:18:31 > 1:18:35see as much as 20 centimetres falling, that could cause problems
1:18:35 > 1:18:40on the roads. You can see the blue colours in the Upland areas, subzero
1:18:40 > 1:18:46throughout. But further south, quite a mild day, ten or 11, certainly
1:18:46 > 1:18:50compared to what we've been used to. Temperatures drop away overnight and
1:18:50 > 1:18:53as the showers fade, a touch of frost, but some showers in the
1:18:53 > 1:18:57forecast in the west of Scotland and Northern Ireland and the risk of ice
1:18:57 > 1:19:01for Friday morning. Could be icy first thing. The other thing to
1:19:01 > 1:19:04watch out for tonight in Scotland and Northern Ireland, this shows
1:19:04 > 1:19:10where it is possible see the Aurora, the chance of the lighter green
1:19:10 > 1:19:13colours pushing across Scotland and Northern Ireland, the best chance of
1:19:13 > 1:19:17seeing it with clear skies at times. Always more cloud... More cloud
1:19:17 > 1:19:24coming and going in Northern Ireland and Scotland through the day.
1:19:24 > 1:19:28Outbreaks of rain Wilson of but not as much as today. Much of England
1:19:28 > 1:19:35and Wales, any showers in the east will disappear. -- with snow. That
1:19:35 > 1:19:41takes us into a mild weekend. A touch of frost around on Saturday in
1:19:41 > 1:19:44the south. A weak weather front pushing southwards. Southern
1:19:44 > 1:19:48Scotland, northern England, north Wales and Northern Ireland staying
1:19:48 > 1:19:52cloudy on Saturday. Occasional rain and drizzle. The top of Scotland
1:19:52 > 1:19:57will see sunshine, the bottom of England and Wales, sunny spells and
1:19:57 > 1:19:59double-figure temperatures. Uncertainty into Sunday if you've
1:19:59 > 1:20:05got plans. Check the forecast. This weather front will push in. The rain
1:20:05 > 1:20:09will be on the southern flank in parts of England and Wales, pushing
1:20:09 > 1:20:12through on the breeze during the day. While at the moment it looks
1:20:12 > 1:20:19try and sunny in Northern Ireland, the rain could go north. Check the
1:20:19 > 1:20:22forecast. Look at the temperatures, above where they should be for the
1:20:22 > 1:20:27time of year, peaking around ten or 12. That's how it's looking, Naga
1:20:27 > 1:20:33and Charlie.Thanks, Matt, see you later.
1:20:33 > 1:20:34The Charity commission
1:20:34 > 1:20:37The Charity commission will today set out the scope of its enquiry
1:20:37 > 1:20:41into allegations of sexual misconduct by Oxfam workers
1:20:41 > 1:20:42overseas.
1:20:42 > 1:20:45Penny Mordaunt will meet with the National Crime Agency
1:20:45 > 1:20:48to discuss if action needs to be taken to tackle exploitation
1:20:48 > 1:20:49and abuse in the industry.

1:21:15 > 1:21:17in charity management at St Mary's University.
1:21:17 > 1:21:19She joins us now.
1:21:19 > 1:21:25Good morning, thanks for talking to us. You were a trustee?I was a
1:21:25 > 1:21:30trustee from the late 80s to the mid-19 nineties.A fair time ago but
1:21:30 > 1:21:36you're still a donor?I am.A donor for Oxfam. You're obviously aware of
1:21:36 > 1:21:41how Oxfam has been run and the systems in place to make sure that a
1:21:41 > 1:21:45certain level of transparency of behaviour is maintained. Can you
1:21:45 > 1:21:52give us some insight into what the role of the trustees would have been
1:21:52 > 1:21:59and how holes have occurred?It's always difficult in any charity
1:21:59 > 1:22:07because you're vulnerable to your worst employee. You know, the number
1:22:07 > 1:22:11of people working in the charity sector who abuse the trust that is
1:22:11 > 1:22:16placed in them is very, very small but inevitably there is always the
1:22:16 > 1:22:23rotten egg and Oxfam took the allegations in Haiti seriously,
1:22:23 > 1:22:27people were dismissed, people were forced to resign. New safeguarding
1:22:27 > 1:22:32procedures were put in place. Obviously from what we're learning
1:22:32 > 1:22:38now, they haven't been sufficient. I've every confidence the trustees
1:22:38 > 1:22:43and the management staff will tighten up on those procedures. No
1:22:43 > 1:22:47charity wants this to happen. It's totally against the values that
1:22:47 > 1:22:51Oxfam stands for.I tell you what some people will be confused about,
1:22:51 > 1:22:54and we're seeing it in evidence now as donations are being withdrawn to
1:22:54 > 1:22:59the charity at a really exponential rate, people will be confused
1:22:59 > 1:23:02because what they're hearing is yes, people were forced to resign but
1:23:02 > 1:23:07they were also then given references to work at other charities and
1:23:07 > 1:23:11things weren't nipped in the bud quickly enough. People are
1:23:11 > 1:23:15wondering, how are these charities governed? Who is keeping an eye on
1:23:15 > 1:23:20these charities?Well, as you probably know, most charities have a
1:23:20 > 1:23:25board of trustees, that's the group of people who govern the charity.
1:23:25 > 1:23:29They are all non-executive people. What does that mean, does that mean
1:23:29 > 1:23:32you don't have a hands-on approach or you're observing from the
1:23:32 > 1:23:38sideline?The trustees are volunteers themselves, they give a
1:23:38 > 1:23:43lot of time and effort to help govern the charity. But for example
1:23:43 > 1:23:48in any large charity in the UK, the trustees are only likely to meet
1:23:48 > 1:23:53between, say, four and 12 times a year. It's one of our problems with
1:23:53 > 1:24:00our models of Charity governance, how can trustees effectively be in
1:24:00 > 1:24:03control of the management and administration of the charity?
1:24:03 > 1:24:06What's emerging clearly from the situation at Oxfam, other people
1:24:06 > 1:24:10have said it's not only them that has some of these problems, things
1:24:10 > 1:24:14happening on the ground, everyone seems to know about them, as they
1:24:14 > 1:24:18emerge, they say it's well known this kind of thing was going on.
1:24:18 > 1:24:22There's a disconnect between what a lot of people know on the ground and
1:24:22 > 1:24:26what the management, who are sitting elsewhere, possibly in this country,
1:24:26 > 1:24:31possibly elsewhere, they don't seem to have a clue about it. That is not
1:24:31 > 1:24:36acceptable, is it?It's certainly not acceptable.Let me pose that as
1:24:36 > 1:24:41a question. You can say it is a rogue person in a case, that's not
1:24:41 > 1:24:45the picture emerging, it's a picture emerging of a lot of people who knew
1:24:45 > 1:24:48a lot of things in the place where there are vulnerable people, and
1:24:48 > 1:24:52thousands of miles away a group of people who should be managing it
1:24:52 > 1:24:57have no idea. That can't be accessible?Of course it's not
1:24:57 > 1:25:01acceptable. I can't speak on behalf of Oxfam, though, and I don't know
1:25:01 > 1:25:11the full facts of the case. But for all charities, they put a lot of
1:25:11 > 1:25:14effort into managing the risks that faced the organisation.Do you think
1:25:14 > 1:25:19it's going to impose... I know this is what you teach now, are they
1:25:19 > 1:25:24going to have to say what we will do is have much more direct input from
1:25:24 > 1:25:27senior management into what's happening on the ground? How do you
1:25:27 > 1:25:32address what is clearly a gap that is urged?In a very large
1:25:32 > 1:25:37organisation the way you control things that are happening on the
1:25:37 > 1:25:42ground is through having effective policies in place -- that's emerged.
1:25:42 > 1:25:50Oxfam has these policies around recruitment. Other charities working
1:25:50 > 1:25:55with vulnerable people. We've had scandals involving charities working
1:25:55 > 1:25:59with disabilities.You're not here to answer for them but we're in the
1:25:59 > 1:26:02position now where it's not enough to say there's policies in place
1:26:02 > 1:26:06because this has happened. It's not a fallback position they can take
1:26:06 > 1:26:10saying we have policies.I'm saying how the trustees control it is
1:26:10 > 1:26:14through setting the policies of the organisation. What has obviously
1:26:14 > 1:26:20gone wrong is that policies haven't been sufficiently pursued in also
1:26:20 > 1:26:29Constanta is.As Charlie said, you lecture in charity management -- in
1:26:29 > 1:26:32all circumstances. One of the things we mentioned was the withdrawal of
1:26:32 > 1:26:39direct damp
1:26:39 > 1:26:43direct damp donations for Oxfam -- direct debit. This is a tragedy, it
1:26:43 > 1:26:51is an awful point in its existence. How does Oxfam recover from that?
1:26:51 > 1:26:56What message can it now send out to people who have put faith in this
1:26:56 > 1:27:00charity and feel wholly let down by the behaviour of some of its
1:27:00 > 1:27:04workers?What I would teach my students in terms of crisis
1:27:04 > 1:27:08management is the first thing you do is you own up to what's happened.
1:27:08 > 1:27:12You're completely honest.Do you think Oxfam have done that?I think
1:27:12 > 1:27:18Oxfam have done that. It seems to be sending out regular communications
1:27:18 > 1:27:22to all its supporters explaining what's happening, apologising for
1:27:22 > 1:27:27what's happening. People have taken responsibility. Penny Lawrence has
1:27:27 > 1:27:33resigned. That's a woman of great integrity who has spent the whole of
1:27:33 > 1:27:37her professional life supporting the most vulnerable people in this
1:27:37 > 1:27:44world. She worked for VSO for a long time before she worked for Oxfam.
1:27:44 > 1:27:48It's a personal charity for her. She's admitted that problems arose
1:27:48 > 1:27:52on her watch and has taken responsibility and resigned.Kate
1:27:52 > 1:27:57Kirkland, thanks for your time this morning. Kate Kirkland is a lecturer
1:27:57 > 1:28:01in charity management at St Mary's university. Thank you.Thank you.
1:28:01 > 1:28:04Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:31:25 > 1:31:26in half an hour.
1:31:26 > 1:31:29Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
1:31:29 > 1:31:31Now, though, it's back to Charlie and Naga.
1:31:31 > 1:31:31Bye for now.
1:31:37 > 1:31:39Hello - this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty
1:31:39 > 1:31:40and Charlie Stayt.
1:31:40 > 1:31:43Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.
1:31:43 > 1:31:46At least 17 people including children and teachers have been
1:31:46 > 1:31:49killed after a gun attack at a high school in Florida.
1:31:49 > 1:31:51Several other people are being treated in hospital.
1:31:51 > 1:31:53Shortly after the shootings, police arrested a 19-year-old
1:31:53 > 1:31:57former pupil who'd been expelled from the school
1:31:57 > 1:32:05in Parkland, around 50 miles north of Miami.
1:32:07 > 1:32:12I think is the news of this spread around the nation, many asked, how
1:32:12 > 1:32:16is this happening again but really, for people here in Parkland,
1:32:16 > 1:32:20Florida, what you heard from so many was that they never thought this
1:32:20 > 1:32:25would happen here. This is a very safe community -- community, a gated
1:32:25 > 1:32:29community with palm trees. Everyone spoke about how loving the community
1:32:29 > 1:32:34is. So there was shock that something like this, that is so
1:32:34 > 1:32:37prevalent around the country, still shocked that it could happen here
1:32:37 > 1:32:41and in a press conference by several of the officials as they gave an
1:32:41 > 1:32:45update on the status of the 17 victims, as they try to identify
1:32:45 > 1:32:49each one and that by the families, they really said that this will take
1:32:49 > 1:32:53time as a community to heal but that they are dedicated to making sure
1:32:53 > 1:32:58that they have those who are coming to this high school and in the rest
1:32:58 > 1:33:02of the school system confident that they can be safe when they go to
1:33:02 > 1:33:05school but still, that is a question that the rest of the United States
1:33:05 > 1:33:09will have to grapple with and one that President Trump mentioned
1:33:09 > 1:33:12briefly in his tweet because he said no child, no teacher or anyone else
1:33:12 > 1:33:16should be one save in an American school and it's the reality in
1:33:16 > 1:33:20America now that that is something that politicians are going to have
1:33:20 > 1:33:21to get a grip on.
1:33:21 > 1:33:24Jacob Zuma has resigned as President of South Africa after nine
1:33:24 > 1:33:25years in power.
1:33:25 > 1:33:28His time in office has been marred by allegations of corruption,
1:33:28 > 1:33:32and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him out
1:33:32 > 1:33:33with a vote of no-confidence.
1:33:33 > 1:33:36In a televised statement he said he was quitting with immediate
1:33:36 > 1:33:44effect but said he disagreed with his ANC party's decision.
1:33:46 > 1:33:48The consumption of highly-processed foods, including cakes,
1:33:48 > 1:33:51chicken nuggets and mass-produced bread is linked to the risk
1:33:51 > 1:33:59of cancer, according to researchers in France.
1:34:09 > 1:34:11The study of more than 100,000 people is published
1:34:11 > 1:34:13in the British Medical Journal.
1:34:13 > 1:34:15Experts have expressed caution, but continue to advise eating
1:34:15 > 1:34:16a healthy balanced diet.
1:34:16 > 1:34:18The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
1:34:18 > 1:34:21for a cyber attack last year, which affected businesses
1:34:21 > 1:34:22around the world.
1:34:22 > 1:34:24The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
1:34:24 > 1:34:26was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
1:34:26 > 1:34:27and weaponising information".
1:34:27 > 1:34:29Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
1:34:29 > 1:34:31Dubious financial advisors exploited former steel workers in a pensions
1:34:31 > 1:34:33mis-selling scandal according to MPs.
1:34:33 > 1:34:35The Work and Pensions Select Committee says it cost
1:34:35 > 1:34:37the people involved thousands of pounds,
1:34:37 > 1:34:40and that the Financial Conduct Authority did too little to protect
1:34:40 > 1:34:43Last year, members of the old British Steel pension scheme
1:34:43 > 1:34:44based decision of their savings.
1:34:44 > 1:34:47Now, have you ever seen a baby and said, "Oh they're so cute,
1:34:47 > 1:34:49"I could eat them up."
1:34:49 > 1:34:51Well, here are some that you could actually eat.
1:34:51 > 1:34:55An amateur baker has created life-size cake versions of her twin
1:34:55 > 1:35:03daughters to celebrate their first birthday.
1:35:04 > 1:35:07Lara Mason spent more than 100 hours crafting the edible version
1:35:07 > 1:35:15of her daughters Lily and Lyla.
1:35:31 > 1:35:40She used 44 eggs, two kilos of flour, four kilos of butter cream.I
1:35:40 > 1:35:47love the fact that Lyla on the right was taking no interest.How did you
1:35:47 > 1:35:54know? The way it was read. I presumed it was left and right.Does
1:35:54 > 1:36:00it matter? I do like biting the head of the gingerbread man.Here is the
1:36:00 > 1:36:06thing, when you slice that cake... Stop it, it's...
1:36:06 > 1:36:10But it has to be eaten. Do you go for an ear?
1:36:10 > 1:36:22Do you slice down or up?Take as a way to the Winter Olympics.
1:36:22 > 1:36:25way to the Winter Olympics.Don Parsons says he will read a book,
1:36:25 > 1:36:30switch off ahead of the two biggest runs of his life in the early hours
1:36:30 > 1:36:37of tomorrow morning. Is it a wonder those new suits with those special
1:36:37 > 1:36:42ridges that cut down resistance. Let's speak to and downs in
1:36:42 > 1:36:49PyeongChang. Is it the suits which are helping?
1:36:49 > 1:36:56-- Catherine downs. Nobody knows if it is the suits, it's been part of
1:36:56 > 1:37:00skeleton of the last few years but skeleton has been rich pickings for
1:37:00 > 1:37:07British athletes over the past couple of Olympics. Of course,
1:37:07 > 1:37:12Lizzie Yarnold gets the competition under way. Laura D is doing well.
1:37:12 > 1:37:17And of course in 2010, Amy Williams one the girls in Vancouver and she
1:37:17 > 1:37:23is standing right next to me on the balcony. We are talking about Don
1:37:23 > 1:37:28Parsons and the suits. I will get onto that in a minute. Here's 31
1:37:28 > 1:37:32hundredths of a second off the bronze medal positions is going to
1:37:32 > 1:37:39be a massive night for him. He is within touching distance of a medal.
1:37:39 > 1:37:44He is so, so close and just has to hold it together. He has got on well
1:37:44 > 1:37:49in the training runs. Every thing is coming together. He's peaking at the
1:37:49 > 1:37:56right time, he is in a happy place. He is so close. His cot -- he has
1:37:56 > 1:38:01got to go back to his place, relax, recover. Have a good night 's sleep
1:38:01 > 1:38:06and wake up and try to forget what has happened today. Forget it, start
1:38:06 > 1:38:12again. Two more runs, anything can happen.Two runs from an Olympic
1:38:12 > 1:38:17medal, that would be incredible. Jerry Rice is in 12th as well. We
1:38:17 > 1:38:23have the chance of two top-10 finishes. And the women looking
1:38:23 > 1:38:31incredibly strong. Lizzie Yarnold, not a great season.
1:38:33 > 1:38:37not a great season. And Laura Dees. They are both in a really good
1:38:37 > 1:38:43place. Peaking every four years the Olympic Games, we are good at that.
1:38:43 > 1:38:47Nor has some unbelievable start times which is what you need on this
1:38:47 > 1:38:54track. You have to get certain parts of it right because you are never
1:38:54 > 1:38:58going to make up the speed. The girls have been doing well and it
1:38:58 > 1:39:01looks like they could get a medal. If everything comes together, keep
1:39:01 > 1:39:05it together in the head, psychologically, they got to stay
1:39:05 > 1:39:10calm. You got to focus on your performance. That is what we are
1:39:10 > 1:39:17hoping Don will do tomorrow.Is it all down to the suits? It's down to
1:39:17 > 1:39:23these errors is to ridges. But they are the seats you always had.
1:39:23 > 1:39:27Speaking to the team, they said there is nothing different. Yes, we
1:39:27 > 1:39:33do a lot of stuff in wind tunnels but so does every other sport.
1:39:33 > 1:39:37Whether they are tied to psychologically met with everyone's
1:39:37 > 1:39:44head, but every piece of equipment gets tested. It all gets tested.
1:39:44 > 1:39:50Great Britain are using nothing that is illegal or two dodgy. Everyone in
1:39:50 > 1:39:54the team, the athletes are calm and though they are not doing anything
1:39:54 > 1:39:58wrong and if other nations want to kick up a fuss and nudge us off our
1:39:58 > 1:40:03good place, they can go ahead but they are not going to stop the
1:40:03 > 1:40:08performance of Great Britain.
1:40:09 > 1:40:13performance of Great Britain.It's all very, no witchcraft. Thank you
1:40:13 > 1:40:16for bringing us up-to-date. Hopefully we are talking to you
1:40:16 > 1:40:23about some GB medals. The weather has calmed down so we've had a full
1:40:23 > 1:40:28schedule of events and picking up some of the ones that were postponed
1:40:28 > 1:40:39over the last few days, including the women's giant slalom which was
1:40:39 > 1:40:45won by Mikaela Shiffrin of the USA. She won gold in Sochi at just 18
1:40:45 > 1:40:49years old and she is the Olympic champion once again. Alex Tilly the
1:40:49 > 1:40:53Great Britain crashed out after 55 seconds but has other events coming
1:40:53 > 1:41:03up. She has more to come. And Switzerland's Lara Gut crashed in
1:41:03 > 1:41:07spectacular tile -- style, taking out photographers. I don't think
1:41:07 > 1:41:12many of them will forget in a hurry. We have the oldest champion ever
1:41:12 > 1:41:22when it comes to alpine skiing.
1:41:22 > 1:41:25when it comes to alpine skiing. It was Aksil Lund Svindal, enormous
1:41:25 > 1:41:29oppressions but he was a bit sad and disappointed by the lack of
1:41:29 > 1:41:33spectators to see and claim that the big title. And the curling
1:41:33 > 1:41:38continues. Great Britain's women who won bronze last time around, they
1:41:38 > 1:41:45lost their second match of the Games for- seven to the USA. They were
1:41:45 > 1:41:54making their Olympic debut survey shock loss to Eve Muirhead and her
1:41:54 > 1:41:57team. They play China survey can redeem themselves. They beat Russia
1:41:57 > 1:42:01yesterday. And the men still in action against Japan, a very tight
1:42:01 > 1:42:07match for them at the moment. It was five ends all. In the ninth end as
1:42:07 > 1:42:12well. Going to that decisive final tense end. A very tight match the
1:42:12 > 1:42:20British men against Japan. They lost to the defending champions. This is
1:42:20 > 1:42:28a match they really need to win. As well is watching you, we are glued
1:42:28 > 1:42:41to the TV screen. Great Britain have just taken that last stone. I think
1:42:41 > 1:42:46Great Britain have just secured a very important stone. We will get
1:42:46 > 1:42:50confirmation. They seem in good spirits. It was a good final stone
1:42:50 > 1:42:55that they just delivered. I think it was 6-5 to Great Britain against
1:42:55 > 1:43:04Japan. I think they are getting back on form now. Finished with a flurry,
1:43:04 > 1:43:14by the way. It finished almost bang in the middle.
1:43:14 > 1:43:18in the middle. It was Liverpool's first game in a knockout stages. And
1:43:18 > 1:43:24how they marked the occasion in style. Helping to a 5- nil away win
1:43:24 > 1:43:28against the Portuguese side. The headline of the day, clockwork
1:43:28 > 1:43:35Orange. A very good one.
1:43:35 > 1:43:37That is a very good one.
1:43:37 > 1:43:41Exactly as good as necessary so at the end, it was a high result
1:43:41 > 1:43:44but I think everybody saw in the game and all the moments
1:43:44 > 1:43:45where we weren't as compact.
1:43:45 > 1:43:48They had their moments, we scored in the right moment.
1:43:48 > 1:43:51British tennis number One Johanna Konta has made it
1:43:51 > 1:43:53through to the last 16 at the Qatar Open.
1:43:53 > 1:43:55Konta is looking to kickstart her season again,
1:43:55 > 1:43:58after a disappointing Australian Open and had a good win,
1:43:58 > 1:44:00getting past World Number 29 Carla Suarez Navarro.
1:44:00 > 1:44:08She now faces Angelique Kerber, for a place in the quarterfinals.
1:44:09 > 1:44:16Confirmation that Great Britain did win that final stone against Japan
1:44:16 > 1:44:266-5. Later, some fantastic guests on the sofa as well is in PyeongChang.
1:44:27 > 1:44:31Minnie Knight, who I had the pleasure of skiing with. She gave me
1:44:31 > 1:44:37her goggles which cuts outside. She can go down the slope without being
1:44:37 > 1:44:43able to see at 80 miles an hour.The athletes we are seeing here have a
1:44:43 > 1:44:47nerve but talking about fearless. Winter Paralympics, coming soon.
1:44:47 > 1:44:54Just on the sofa after nine o'clock. Good morning. Let's find out what is
1:44:54 > 1:44:56happening with the weather. Good morning.
1:44:56 > 1:45:01happening with the weather. Good morning. I've got most of the
1:45:01 > 1:45:06answers are the least. Out there today, at least the good sunshine
1:45:06 > 1:45:10across the country than yesterday. It will be punctuated by some
1:45:10 > 1:45:14further wintry showers across northern western parts. We have had
1:45:14 > 1:45:22some showers clearing up, one of two isolated showers, some pushing in
1:45:22 > 1:45:25towards the Bristol Channel but across the West of Scotland,
1:45:25 > 1:45:32Northern Ireland, lots of snow flurries. The win is not quite as
1:45:32 > 1:45:37strong as yesterday. They will keep on going. Eastern areas will have a
1:45:37 > 1:45:43largely dry day. Certainly across the south-east, it could stay dry.
1:45:43 > 1:45:47Still pushing into was the south-west as we the afternoon. A
1:45:47 > 1:45:56little of snow, some snow on the tops of the Pennines. Some further
1:45:56 > 1:46:03showers and across the Highlands of Scotland. Blown around by a strong
1:46:03 > 1:46:10winds. Temperatures stay below freezing. Temperatures up in recent
1:46:10 > 1:46:16days. The sun gaining a bit more strength. Shouldn't feel too bad at
1:46:16 > 1:46:23all. Showers in southern areas will fade. Especially western Scotland,
1:46:23 > 1:46:27Northern Ireland temperatures close to if not below freezing, and ice
1:46:27 > 1:46:31risk to watch out for on Friday morning. Tonight, this chart shows
1:46:31 > 1:46:37where there is a chance where the Aurora is. Notice how this chance
1:46:37 > 1:46:41increases during the early part of the night. It gets clear skies here,
1:46:41 > 1:46:46you may get a bit of display overhead. Into Friday, another
1:46:46 > 1:46:50story. Sunshine and showers to Scotland and Northern Ireland.
1:46:50 > 1:46:54Cladding over a bit more in the day but the showers will mainly rain.
1:46:54 > 1:46:59Snow limited to the hills. Across England and Wales, one of the early
1:46:59 > 1:47:07showers. A dry day with gaps in the cloud. Temperatures again in double
1:47:07 > 1:47:11figures. With windfall in a bit the south to the later stage of Friday,
1:47:11 > 1:47:19we could see some foster round. The weekend, some mist and fog patches,
1:47:19 > 1:47:21sunny spells but a weather front travelling across Northern Ireland
1:47:21 > 1:47:26and southern Scotland. That will bring some Scott spots of light
1:47:26 > 1:47:39rain. To be? Comes the Sunday. At the moment, it looks like primarily
1:47:39 > 1:47:46across parts of England and Wales. Some breaks in the round -- in the
1:47:46 > 1:47:51cloud that just the chance of rain band. Keep an eye on your forecast
1:47:51 > 1:47:56if you got any plans this weekend. As far as rainfall is concerned,
1:47:56 > 1:47:58throughout this weekend, temperatures up on what they've
1:47:58 > 1:48:06been. Many bases close to double figures.
1:48:06 > 1:48:10And we get the chance to CD-R borealis?Some might see it tonight
1:48:10 > 1:48:14in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, you will need clear skies
1:48:14 > 1:48:19but there will be a few showers around -- chance to see the horror
1:48:19 > 1:48:20borealis?
1:48:20 > 1:48:23MPs are calling it the latest pension scandal to hit the UK.
1:48:23 > 1:48:24Ben can explain.
1:48:24 > 1:48:28A damning verdict on some of the advice given for some people in the
1:48:28 > 1:48:30former British steel pension-fund.
1:48:30 > 1:48:33You might remember Tata Steel took over operations of British Steel,
1:48:33 > 1:48:36but got into trouble a few years ago.
1:48:36 > 1:48:39So, as part of plans to save the business its pension
1:48:39 > 1:48:41scheme was closed and members told they would have
1:48:41 > 1:48:44to move their pension into a new, less generous scheme.
1:48:44 > 1:48:47But many chose instead to take their money out and invest
1:48:47 > 1:48:55it elsewhere and that's cost them a lot of money.
1:48:58 > 1:49:01MPs say those workers have been "shamelessly bamboozled" by advisers
1:49:01 > 1:49:02and have described the whole affair
1:49:02 > 1:49:04as an "erupting" mis-selling scandal.
1:49:04 > 1:49:06Tom McPhail is with me, he's a pensions expert
1:49:06 > 1:49:10from Hargreaves Lansdown.
1:49:10 > 1:49:14Tom, good morning.Good morning. Been described as a new scandal,
1:49:14 > 1:49:20let's start with how much money, it's a lot?Absolutely. These
1:49:20 > 1:49:23individuals had pension pot worth hundreds of thousands, in a few
1:49:23 > 1:49:28cases over £1 million. This is their retirement savings, their life
1:49:28 > 1:49:32savings, and across the thousands of people who have been involved in
1:49:32 > 1:49:34this scandal, we are therefore talking about hundreds of millions
1:49:34 > 1:49:39of pounds. In some cases these guys have lost tens of thousands from
1:49:39 > 1:49:43their retirement.The point was they were never respected you have to
1:49:43 > 1:49:46make tough decisions about it, they invested in the scheme and they
1:49:46 > 1:49:50expected it to continue but we know the problems with Tata Steel, they
1:49:50 > 1:49:53say you've got to move it and this is where the problem crept in?
1:49:53 > 1:49:57Absolutely, the members were faced with suddenly having to make a
1:49:57 > 1:50:02pretty convex decision about staying in scheme A or B, either of which
1:50:02 > 1:50:08would have involved the loss of some of their pension rights -- complex.
1:50:08 > 1:50:10That created issues around the trust towards pension scheme
1:50:10 > 1:50:13administrators. They weren't in a good situation to start with and
1:50:13 > 1:50:17then advises knocked on the door and said there's a third option, if you
1:50:17 > 1:50:21want we can take your rights out of the scheme altogether and turn it
1:50:21 > 1:50:25into a big bag of money into a private pension and you can have
1:50:25 > 1:50:28control. It's hardly surprises of the scheme members were seduced by
1:50:28 > 1:50:33that sales pitch.If someone said I will give you access to your
1:50:33 > 1:50:37pension, here's half £1 million, you would think that's a good thing, but
1:50:37 > 1:50:44the issue it has cost a lot of money, they have taken a lot of
1:50:44 > 1:50:46these and some of the investment advice was terrible.Absolutely, for
1:50:46 > 1:50:50most people in most cases it is a bad idea. -- sees. People
1:50:50 > 1:50:54underestimate the guaranteed value of the pension they have. It's a
1:50:54 > 1:50:57guaranteed pension for life and worth hundreds of thousands. They
1:50:57 > 1:51:01look at the big bag of money and they don't appreciate it's not
1:51:01 > 1:51:05necessarily a fair deal in terms of what they are giving up. Then you
1:51:05 > 1:51:09get onto the fact that what they put into had high charges, the advisers
1:51:09 > 1:51:12were taking up high transaction costs, altogether money was getting
1:51:12 > 1:51:16sliced out of their pension pots as they went through the process.What
1:51:16 > 1:51:20helpful people who might have fallen victim to this?Ideally we would
1:51:20 > 1:51:24have seen the trustees act on this situation earlier and quicker and
1:51:24 > 1:51:28pre-empt some of these problems and give better information. The
1:51:28 > 1:51:31Financial Conduct Authority is now looking at what's gone on with the
1:51:31 > 1:51:36advice. Hopefully those members who have been mis- advised will get
1:51:36 > 1:51:40recompense and restitution for that, but that's going to be quite a long,
1:51:40 > 1:51:45slow process. I think my advice to anyone in this kind of situation if
1:51:45 > 1:51:49it ever comes up is in principle generally it's not a good idea to
1:51:49 > 1:51:51transfer out of a final salary steam, that's where the problem
1:51:51 > 1:51:56started.A lot of people have been facing that dilemma, not just former
1:51:56 > 1:52:00British Steel workers, we have these new pension freedoms to move money,
1:52:00 > 1:52:03take a bit out and invest elsewhere, is there a danger with those
1:52:03 > 1:52:09freedoms come a lot of risk? Absolutely, we have heard of BHS,
1:52:09 > 1:52:12Carillion and British Steel and that undermines people's confidence in
1:52:12 > 1:52:16final salary pension schemes but most of the time in reality they are
1:52:16 > 1:52:21good deal so if you have one, hang onto it. If you don't have one of
1:52:21 > 1:52:24those, if you have a personal pension, a pot of savings money,
1:52:24 > 1:52:28then pension freedoms are a good thing, they give you control of your
1:52:28 > 1:52:31money and they are very popular. Given the choice you're better
1:52:31 > 1:52:35staying with a guaranteed pension of a final salary steam but most people
1:52:35 > 1:52:39don't have that choice any more. Such a difficult area, thanks for
1:52:39 > 1:52:44explaining, Tom McPhail from Hargreaves Lansdowne. Later I will
1:52:44 > 1:52:48be back to talk about however one might be getting a pay rise, workers
1:52:48 > 1:52:55getting an uplift in salaries -- however it one. -- how everyone.
1:52:55 > 1:52:59Set up on the site of a colliery, Antony Gormley's The Angel
1:52:59 > 1:53:01of the North celebrates its 20 anniversary this week.
1:53:01 > 1:53:03It initially divided opinion with the late art critic,
1:53:03 > 1:53:05Brian Sewell describing it as a monstrosity.
1:53:05 > 1:53:08Fiona Trott examines how the 200-tonne steel sculpture has
1:53:08 > 1:53:10gone onto become one of Britain's most popular landmarks.
1:53:10 > 1:53:13The unmistakable Angel of the North, towering over the A1 in Gateshead.
1:53:13 > 1:53:16It's one of the most photographed landmarks in Britain and viewed
1:53:16 > 1:53:24by 31 million people every year.
1:53:32 > 1:53:33I've grown to love it.
1:53:33 > 1:53:36I think people do have a very warm feeling about it.
1:53:36 > 1:53:40It's an artwork that doesn't stand on its own as an artwork
1:53:40 > 1:53:43in a gallery but it's very much part of everyday life,
1:53:43 > 1:53:44in Gateshead in this region.
1:53:44 > 1:53:48In the middle of the night 20 years ago, the Angel of the North
1:53:48 > 1:53:50made its slow journey up the A1.
1:53:50 > 1:53:53It was built in Hartlepool.
1:53:53 > 1:53:57Its body, as long as four double-decker buses.
1:53:57 > 1:53:59Its wings, wider than a Boeing 757.
1:53:59 > 1:54:02People gathered at the former colliery site in Gateshead to watch
1:54:02 > 1:54:03it put in place.
1:54:03 > 1:54:11An historic moment.
1:54:13 > 1:54:15And first people were sceptical, why an Angel?
1:54:15 > 1:54:16Why so monumental?
1:54:16 > 1:54:19But soon they claimed it as their own, and that's exactly
1:54:19 > 1:54:20what the sculptor wanted.
1:54:20 > 1:54:23The fact is it's not my Angel, it is the Angel of the North
1:54:23 > 1:54:25and that means a lot to me.
1:54:25 > 1:54:29I had an idea, but it was realised, it was made by the people
1:54:29 > 1:54:32of the north-east and it comes from that extraordinary story
1:54:32 > 1:54:34of the relationship between coalmining, iron,
1:54:34 > 1:54:41engineering and that history of the Industrial Revolution.
1:54:46 > 1:54:47For many it's a special place.
1:54:47 > 1:54:51There have even been marriage proposals here.
1:54:51 > 1:54:53Local people say it's put the north-east on the map.
1:54:53 > 1:54:56Northumberland is fabulous and the Angel I think depicts just
1:54:56 > 1:54:58how good we are up here.
1:54:58 > 1:55:02Well, I'm up from London and I just wanted to see it for myself.
1:55:02 > 1:55:04I've heard about it before and, yeah, it's pretty impressive
1:55:04 > 1:55:05if you ask me.
1:55:05 > 1:55:09I think I didn't like it in the beginning, I think a lot
1:55:09 > 1:55:12of people would say that but it's really grown on me and now
1:55:12 > 1:55:13I love it.
1:55:13 > 1:55:18Aurora
1:55:18 > 1:55:22The popularity of the Angel has brought more money to the area too.
1:55:22 > 1:55:24Since it arrived here overnight visitor numbers have
1:55:24 > 1:55:25increased by 14%.
1:55:25 > 1:55:30This has led to a revenue increase of 48%.
1:55:30 > 1:55:33Newcastle and Gateshead make around £1.5 billion a year through tourism
1:55:33 > 1:55:36and they say the Angel is a major contributor to that.
1:55:36 > 1:55:38On its 20th birthday, the Angel is preparing
1:55:38 > 1:55:46for a medical.
1:55:48 > 1:55:51Like all structures, its joints need to be checked
1:55:51 > 1:55:53so it can stand proud for future generations.
1:55:53 > 1:56:01Fiona Trott, BBC News, Gateshead.
1:56:05 > 1:56:08looked absolutely stunning there, but whatever the weather, I think
1:56:08 > 1:56:13it's a really impressive piece of art. Always makes you go, ah, there
1:56:13 > 1:56:14it is!

2:00:13 > 2:00:18My best friend was locked in a closet for a while. I was nervous

2:00:21 > 2:00:22Police have arrested the suspected gunman -
2:00:22 > 2:00:30he's a 19-year-old former student who'd been expelled from the school.

2:01:48 > 2:01:52There will be showers round and a bit of snow too, especially in parts
2:01:52 > 2:01:55of Scotland and Northern Ireland. Your full forecast is coming up in
2:01:55 > 2:01:5815 minutes.
2:01:58 > 2:01:59Good morning.
2:01:59 > 2:02:00First, our main story.
2:02:00 > 2:02:02At least 17 people including children and teachers have been
2:02:02 > 2:02:05killed after a gun attack at a high school in Florida.
2:02:05 > 2:02:07Several other people are being treated in hospital.
2:02:07 > 2:02:09Shortly after the shootings, Police arrested a 19-year-old
2:02:09 > 2:02:11former pupil who'd been expelled from the school in Parkland,
2:02:11 > 2:02:13around 50 miles north of Miami.
2:02:13 > 2:02:21From there, Nada Tawfik reports.
2:02:22 > 2:02:24This was supposed to be one of the safest communities
2:02:24 > 2:02:25in the country.
2:02:25 > 2:02:27In an instant, these students became helpless targets,
2:02:27 > 2:02:29sheltering in place and fearing for their lives.
2:02:29 > 2:02:31Officials now suggest this was a well-planned plot to maximise
2:02:31 > 2:02:39the loss of life.
2:02:41 > 2:02:44Just moments before the end of the school day, a former student
2:02:44 > 2:02:47reportedly pulled the fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
2:02:47 > 2:02:49to draw out his unsuspecting victims.
2:02:49 > 2:02:52There had already been a drill earlier in the day but confused
2:02:52 > 2:02:54teachers followed procedure and began to exit the building.
2:02:54 > 2:02:59As soon the fire alarm got hold, and kids were evacuating,
2:02:59 > 2:03:00I heard five pops.
2:03:00 > 2:03:02I was like, "That's not a drill."
2:03:02 > 2:03:04We never did a drill like that.
2:03:04 > 2:03:06When we started evacuating back away towards the back,
2:03:06 > 2:03:09towards the the middle school, I knew it was more than a drill
2:03:09 > 2:03:13because we've never done that.
2:03:13 > 2:03:16Armed with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, he began firing outside
2:03:16 > 2:03:18and then continued inside the school as panic and chaos erupted.
2:03:18 > 2:03:21Police were warning the shooter was still at large, even
2:03:21 > 2:03:27as emergency workers rushed to treat those wounded.
2:03:27 > 2:03:30SWAT teams evacuated distressed students.
2:03:30 > 2:03:36In a row, some with hands in the air, others clinging to each
2:03:36 > 2:03:38other for support, they frantically rushed to safety.
2:03:38 > 2:03:40I see you, I see you, I see you!
2:03:40 > 2:03:42Parents, sick with, worry, waited for news.
2:03:42 > 2:03:44The suspect was arrested without incident an hour later
2:03:44 > 2:03:50in a neighbouring city.
2:03:50 > 2:03:53Police identified him as Nikolas Cruz, who had been expelled.
2:03:53 > 2:03:55He was taken into custody, I believe, about an hour
2:03:55 > 2:04:02after he left Stoneman Douglas, after he committed this horrific,
2:04:02 > 2:04:03homicidal, detestable act.
2:04:03 > 2:04:06This is the 18th school shooting in the United States this year.
2:04:06 > 2:04:08It's a uniquely American epidemic that has only gotten worse.
2:04:08 > 2:04:11Yet this country is more divided than ever on how
2:04:11 > 2:04:19to solve the problem.
2:04:20 > 2:04:22Jacob Zuma has resigned as President of South Africa
2:04:22 > 2:04:23after nine years in power.
2:04:23 > 2:04:25His time in office has been marred by allegations
2:04:25 > 2:04:28of corruption and his own party, the ANC had threatened to force him
2:04:28 > 2:04:31out with a vote of no confidence.
2:04:31 > 2:04:34Our reporter Pumza Fihlani is in Johannesburg.
2:04:34 > 2:04:37Morning. Sunshine is back in Pyeongchang and more sunshine for us
2:04:37 > 2:04:39today, compared with yesterday. There will be showers round and a
2:04:39 > 2:04:42bit of snow too, especially in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland.
2:04:42 > 2:04:43Your full forecast is coming up in 15 minutes.
2:04:43 > 2:04:47He she has been following events. This was on the cards but we were
2:04:47 > 2:04:48never sure how smoothly this would happen or when it would exactly
2:04:48 > 2:04:54happen?That is right. Right up until the last moment it seemed that
2:04:54 > 2:04:58the President was staying until he then eventually decided to announce
2:04:58 > 2:05:03that he has decided to leave office, that even though he does knots agree
2:05:03 > 2:05:07with what the ANC wants him to do, he is is a loyal member of party
2:05:07 > 2:05:11Eden Hazard decided to go. To give you a quick flavour of how that has
2:05:11 > 2:05:18been received here in South Africa, I have the newspaper which has, you
2:05:18 > 2:05:25can see there finally Zuma falls. That is a paper that has been
2:05:25 > 2:05:29popular for years, it has been round for many years and one of the
2:05:29 > 2:05:32biggest business papers here, Zuma resigns, Yonny Hernandez if you can
2:05:32 > 2:05:40see that, bold headline with a photo of that raid at the compound of the
2:05:40 > 2:05:45friends of Jacob Zuma. The last one here, the star newspaper saying
2:05:45 > 2:05:50going going, gone, that kind of gives a sense of how drawn out the
2:05:50 > 2:05:54process was, but finally, that it has come to an end.
2:05:54 > 2:05:55Thank you very lunch for your time.
2:05:55 > 2:05:57Thank you very lunch for your time.
2:05:57 > 2:06:00There could be a link between a diet of ultra-processed foods
2:06:00 > 2:06:02and cancer, that's according to researchers in France.
2:06:02 > 2:06:05The study of more than 100-thousand people suggests that those who ate
2:06:05 > 2:06:07more products such as fizzy drinks, mass produced bread
2:06:07 > 2:06:09and processed meats, had the highest rates of cancer.
2:06:09 > 2:06:15Here's our Health and science correspondent James Gallagher.
2:06:15 > 2:06:16Ultra-processed foods include cakes, chocolate, mass-produced bread,
2:06:16 > 2:06:24crisps and pizza.
2:06:28 > 2:06:30It's delicious temptation and too much is bad for the waistline.
2:06:30 > 2:06:33We know being overweight increases the risk of cancer
2:06:33 > 2:06:35but is there something else about these foods that raises
2:06:35 > 2:06:38the risk even further?
2:06:38 > 2:06:40The study followed 105,000 French people for five years.
2:06:40 > 2:06:48It suggests increasing amounts of our diet that are ultra-processed
2:06:48 > 2:06:52by 10% is linked to a 12% increase in the risk of cancer but even
2:06:52 > 2:06:54the researchers say more work is needed to establish why such
2:06:54 > 2:06:55foods may increase cancer risk.
2:06:55 > 2:06:58So what should we do?
2:06:58 > 2:07:01A balanced diet, but actually even more importantly is maintaining
2:07:01 > 2:07:03a healthy weight and if we eat too many ultra-processed foods,
2:07:03 > 2:07:06then we do pile on the pounds and although this study didn't look
2:07:06 > 2:07:09closely at weight, we know very clearly what the links with that
2:07:09 > 2:07:13are and cancer, so I think it's a warning to us to have a healthy
2:07:13 > 2:07:21diet and be aware of the links between our diet and cancer.
2:07:21 > 2:07:24Other experts said the term "ultra-processed food" was so broad,
2:07:24 > 2:07:27it's hard to know what's really going on, and that other unhealthy
2:07:27 > 2:07:30habits could be muddying the waters.
2:07:30 > 2:07:32It's why the study is being described as an initial insight
2:07:32 > 2:07:35rather than definitive proof on the role of ultra-processed
2:07:35 > 2:07:41foods and cancer.
2:07:41 > 2:07:43The government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
2:07:43 > 2:07:45for a cyber attack last year, which affected
2:07:45 > 2:07:46businesses around the world.
2:07:46 > 2:07:48The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
2:07:48 > 2:07:50was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
2:07:50 > 2:07:51and weaponising information".
2:07:51 > 2:07:59Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
2:08:01 > 2:08:04Don't know if you can see that, bold headline with a photo of that raid
2:08:04 > 2:08:07at the compound of the friends of Jacob Zuma. The last one here, the
2:08:07 > 2:08:09star newspaper saying going going, gone, that kind of gives a sense of
2:08:09 > 2:08:12how drawn out the process was, but finally, that it has come to an end.

2:08:15 > 2:08:17Palestines are calling 60 fires every a week in the UK. A third of

2:08:28 > 2:08:30The Work and Pensions Select Committee says it cost
2:08:30 > 2:08:33the people involved thousands and the Financial Conduct Authority
2:08:33 > 2:08:41did too little to protect them.
2:08:44 > 2:08:48Those are the main stories are.
2:08:48 > 2:08:51An inquest is to be opened into the death of a young woman
2:08:51 > 2:08:53with learning disabilities after BBC Breakfast highlighted
2:08:53 > 2:08:54concerns about her care.
2:08:54 > 2:08:56Laura Booth died four weeks after going in to hospital
2:08:56 > 2:08:57for a routine operation.
2:08:57 > 2:09:00The news comes as Mencap, and the Royal College of Nursing,
2:09:00 > 2:09:02call for compulsory learning disability training for all
2:09:02 > 2:09:03NHS staff in England.
2:09:03 > 2:09:10Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin reports.
2:09:10 > 2:09:13The house is the same as the day Laura left.
2:09:13 > 2:09:16Her toys aren't touched.
2:09:16 > 2:09:17We can't move them.
2:09:17 > 2:09:23We just can't.
2:09:23 > 2:09:27We do miss her because she was our sunshine always.
2:09:27 > 2:09:34We went into the hospital with our daughter for an eye
2:09:34 > 2:09:38operation and we came out with a death certificate.
2:09:38 > 2:09:41In September, 2016 their daughter went to the Royal Hallamshire
2:09:41 > 2:09:42Hospital in Sheffield for a routine operation.
2:09:42 > 2:09:44She was 21.
2:09:44 > 2:09:50Over the following four weeks Laura's health deteriorated.
2:09:50 > 2:09:52She wasn't eating and was taking only fluids.
2:09:52 > 2:09:54The family say they repeatedly asked the hospital to feed Laura
2:09:54 > 2:09:59intravenously with what is called a TPN.
2:09:59 > 2:10:01We kept saying to them, when you going to sort something,
2:10:01 > 2:10:03when are you going to do something?
2:10:03 > 2:10:10This is not right, she can't stay like this.
2:10:10 > 2:10:13On the day Laura died at the TPN came but it was too late.
2:10:13 > 2:10:16Her death was put down to natural causes, but we've spoken
2:10:16 > 2:10:18to an independent expert who has concerns.
2:10:18 > 2:10:21He believes in malnutrition may have contributed to Laura's death,
2:10:21 > 2:10:23concerns we've shared with the coroner, who has come
2:10:23 > 2:10:30in the last 24 hours, ordered an inquest.
2:10:30 > 2:10:34The hospital say that we are so very sorry that some aspects of Laura's
2:10:34 > 2:10:36care were not of the standard we would normally expect,
2:10:36 > 2:10:39and they say that Laura was being given nutrients in liquid
2:10:39 > 2:10:41form and that was constantly being reviewed, that Laura's
2:10:41 > 2:10:44condition was so complex it did have an impact on the way
2:10:44 > 2:10:50in which she was fed.
2:10:50 > 2:10:53In a letter to the family after Laura's death,
2:10:53 > 2:10:56the hospital said services are not primarily designed for these
2:10:56 > 2:11:04kinds of patients.
2:11:07 > 2:11:10"We're not dealing with people like Laura, we're not used to them
2:11:10 > 2:11:12sort of people coming over here."
2:11:12 > 2:11:14When they said that, I felt horrible.
2:11:14 > 2:11:19This is not right.
2:11:19 > 2:11:22Today, the hospital told us they had already made changes.
2:11:22 > 2:11:23More specialist nurses, better trained staff,
2:11:23 > 2:11:26but Mencap, backed by the Royal College of Nursing
2:11:26 > 2:11:27is calling for mandatory learning disability training
2:11:27 > 2:11:35for all NHS staff.
2:11:36 > 2:11:39Training like this taking place in guys hospital with the help
2:11:39 > 2:11:43of Lloyd to better meet the needs of this community,
2:11:43 > 2:11:46to cut the number of premature avoidable deaths.
2:11:46 > 2:11:49We also want to have the right equal health care treatment that we've
2:11:49 > 2:11:54thoroughly deserve and there should be no discrimination
2:11:54 > 2:11:58or sidelining at all.
2:11:58 > 2:12:03Neither NHS England or the Department of Health
2:12:03 > 2:12:05would respond to these specific call for mandatory training,
2:12:05 > 2:12:08both had said they made learning disability is a national priority
2:12:08 > 2:12:11and would continue to improve training.
2:12:11 > 2:12:15Laura's parents felt their girl's life wasn't valued equally.
2:12:15 > 2:12:18What they see is the person that's in that bed with all
2:12:18 > 2:12:21the disabilities, she can't talk, she can't walk, this that
2:12:21 > 2:12:23and the other...
2:12:23 > 2:12:26What they didn't see at the back was that lovely girl that we knew
2:12:26 > 2:12:28what was so happy, like going out shopping,
2:12:28 > 2:12:29loved going and getting handbags.
2:12:29 > 2:12:37That's what they didn't see, they just saw her disability.
2:12:40 > 2:12:46Jayne is with us.
2:12:46 > 2:12:49Appliances are calling 60 fires every a week in the UK. A third of
2:12:49 > 2:12:52fires are started by washing machines and tumble driers. It has
2:12:52 > 2:12:54written to ministers to address the issues.Those are the main stories
2:12:54 > 2:12:56are. They want questions answers. . They want people to add dress the
2:12:56 > 2:12:59things they saw happen.Absolutely, at the start of the year, we pledged
2:12:59 > 2:13:02that we would shine a light on learning disability issue, menical
2:13:02 > 2:13:07have been looking after that family, that is why they got in touch with
2:13:07 > 2:13:11us and said, there are concerns here, we want scrutiny. We took
2:13:11 > 2:13:16those concerns to the coroner yesterday, at noon, by 2pm the
2:13:16 > 2:13:20Coroner's Office had been back in touch with Laura's family to say we
2:13:20 > 2:13:25are opening an inquest, it will start next Tuesday, the family are
2:13:25 > 2:13:30pleased is the wrong word but they are pleased. They are bereft but
2:13:30 > 2:13:35pleased they want the scrutiny. Why wasn't it there from the word go?
2:13:35 > 2:13:39The death was attributed to natural causeser, we don't know what is
2:13:39 > 2:13:46going to happen in the inquest. It would be wrong to call it. We know
2:13:46 > 2:13:48too many learning disability deaths are attributed to natural causes,
2:13:48 > 2:13:54this is one of the reasons why today at a big conference in London Mencap
2:13:54 > 2:13:58will launch this big campaign, three year campaign so nobody sets foot in
2:13:58 > 2:14:01a hospital to work there without learning disability training.
2:14:01 > 2:14:05To be clear, Jane, when you are looking at cases like this, you are
2:14:05 > 2:14:09not criticising, we are not there to criticise those who are working hard
2:14:09 > 2:14:12to keep people well, to care for people.So much brilliant work going
2:14:12 > 2:14:16on.There are issues to look at in terms of funding and training
2:14:16 > 2:14:20available to allow these people, nurses, doctors do the jobs they
2:14:20 > 2:14:26want to doNHS England and the department for health say they are
2:14:26 > 2:14:30investing in training, but there are very real concerns about a
2:14:30 > 2:14:33significant catastrophic decline in specialist learning disability
2:14:33 > 2:14:42nurses.For the moment, thank you very much. #36
2:14:42 > 2:14:46Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.
2:14:46 > 2:14:52It is warming up a little bit?
2:14:52 > 2:14:59Warm is probably too kind a word. Shower clouds clearing a short while
2:14:59 > 2:15:03ago and the sunshine coming out and more sunshine around today but we
2:15:03 > 2:15:07have already seen some showers. Showers at the moment fairly
2:15:07 > 2:15:13isolated, more pushing in towards the Bristol Channel, lots of showers
2:15:13 > 2:15:16to Northern Ireland and Scotland. Primarily of snow, giving a further
2:15:16 > 2:15:23covering in places, being blown around by the gusty winds, pushing
2:15:23 > 2:15:29showers to the East, have already seen a few earlier ones in
2:15:29 > 2:15:32north-east England, not too many showers in the south-east and East
2:15:32 > 2:15:36Anglia. Rain showers across parts of south Wales and south-west England.
2:15:36 > 2:15:42Snow flurries in the Pennines and Cumbrian Fells. The greater chance
2:15:42 > 2:15:47for snow will be to the north of Glasgow and Northern Ireland. In the
2:15:47 > 2:15:52Highlands, as much as 10-20 centimetres of snow. Rain showers on
2:15:52 > 2:15:57the coast. Temperature profile, the blue colour is staying below
2:15:57 > 2:16:03freezing weather mountains. For many, a milder day than of late.
2:16:03 > 2:16:07With the Sun gaining strength, it should not feel too bad at all.
2:16:07 > 2:16:11Tonight, clear skies, showers in the West, leading to an ice risk as
2:16:11 > 2:16:16temperatures dropped close to if not below freezing tomorrow morning.
2:16:16 > 2:16:22Tonight, you might be lucky, Scotland, Northern Ireland, the
2:16:22 > 2:16:27chance potentially of seeing the old Laura
2:16:27 > 2:16:29chance potentially of seeing the old Laura, and a small chance of seeing
2:16:29 > 2:16:36it with clear skies -- seeing the northern lights. But the cloud will
2:16:36 > 2:16:41come and go, as it will do tomorrow, and the showers merging into longer
2:16:41 > 2:16:46spells of rain, not as much snow tomorrow because temperatures will
2:16:46 > 2:16:52be lifting. The bulk of the country, a dry day on Friday, showers in the
2:16:52 > 2:16:56West to begin with, best of the brightness in eastern areas.
2:16:56 > 2:17:01Temperatures of around 7-10d. Cool start of the weekend on Saturday
2:17:01 > 2:17:10with mist and fog patches in the south. A weak weather in Scotland on
2:17:10 > 2:17:14Saturday, from Northern Ireland and North Wales potentially as well. It
2:17:14 > 2:17:19could be damp, drizzly and murky in places. To the north, and to the
2:17:19 > 2:17:25south, sunshine. Staying mild on Sunday. The big question Mark is how
2:17:25 > 2:17:32active the next weather system is. As it looks at the moment, England
2:17:32 > 2:17:35and Wales could see cloud. Much of Scotland and Northern Ireland
2:17:35 > 2:17:43looking dry, the rain band may be further north, but even if it isn't,
2:17:43 > 2:17:51temperatures on Sunday around 9-12d, warmer than it has been of late.
2:17:51 > 2:18:01What was the scientific explanation? The sun is not... Fluctuations,
2:18:01 > 2:18:06solar flares, highly charged particles through the atmosphere
2:18:06 > 2:18:10towards us, and as it reaches our atmosphere, it interrupts with
2:18:10 > 2:18:16oxygen and nitrogen molecules and that causes the colours. They get
2:18:16 > 2:18:20them excited, gives them a tickle, they shine different colours of
2:18:20 > 2:18:24light, green, yellow, when it is oxygen, red and purple when it is
2:18:24 > 2:18:27nitrogen. I will put that on my phone and
2:18:27 > 2:18:31record it and play it to myself whenever I want to smile!
2:18:31 > 2:18:35Marvellous.
2:18:36 > 2:18:40Marvellous. Some explaining to do. This is very close to people's
2:18:40 > 2:18:44hearts, what you might expect to get in your wage packet. Good news for
2:18:44 > 2:18:48the change as far as pay is concerned. I have been saying for so
2:18:48 > 2:18:53long we're not getting pay rises, news from the Bank of England,
2:18:53 > 2:18:57spoken to employers and look at minimum wage data and it has taken
2:18:57 > 2:19:01together and it is in line for on average the best pay rise in ten
2:19:01 > 2:19:05years.We all know pay has been pretty static of late and that is
2:19:05 > 2:19:09because employers have not felt the need to offer more to hang onto good
2:19:09 > 2:19:13staff or attract them, but now the minimum wage is going up so they
2:19:13 > 2:19:17will get an increase and also for everyone else in the private sector,
2:19:17 > 2:19:21we will come onto that in the second, they are saying employees
2:19:21 > 2:19:24are now in a position where they need to keep the people they have
2:19:24 > 2:19:27got because they can move elsewhere so finally they are having to pay
2:19:27 > 2:19:32more to keep them happy. That average pay rise could be 3%, that
2:19:32 > 2:19:36would mean it is in line or exceeding inflation and for so long
2:19:36 > 2:19:43prices have going up and wages by less, so in real terms, we have felt
2:19:43 > 2:19:47much worse off. Now it might get to balance will we might feel better.
2:19:47 > 2:19:51The caveat of course is public sector, still pay cap, anyone
2:19:51 > 2:19:56working in the public sector, most apartments facing the 1% pay cut, so
2:19:56 > 2:19:59we are just talking about the private sector. But nonetheless,
2:19:59 > 2:20:06some good news.There is still a lot in terms of when you see inflation
2:20:06 > 2:20:12go up and people say cost of living is going up, can we have a pay rise?
2:20:12 > 2:20:16It usually takes at least a year, 18 months to feedback.This plays into
2:20:16 > 2:20:21interest rates as well. If wages start going up, inflation is still
2:20:21 > 2:20:27pretty high, the Bank of England says, I will raise interest rates,
2:20:27 > 2:20:35cooling the economy, making it more attractive to save, potentially one
2:20:35 > 2:20:39or two rate rises this year. This suggests the economy is on the mend
2:20:39 > 2:20:45but it is about getting everything in balance.Thank you very much.
2:20:45 > 2:20:48Children, some as young as 12, are being banned from driving before
2:20:48 > 2:20:51they are legally old enough to get behind the wheel of a car.
2:20:51 > 2:20:54The BBC has discovered the number of children aged 16 and under
2:20:54 > 2:20:58who have been disqualified from driving has risen by almost
2:20:58 > 2:20:5950% over the past four years.
2:20:59 > 2:21:02Phil Bodmer has been to meet the sisters of a young boy
2:21:02 > 2:21:07who was killed by a teenager who was driving illegally.
2:21:07 > 2:21:13The killed him and we didn't get to see him...
2:21:13 > 2:21:16Well, we saw him, but we had to look through a window.
2:21:16 > 2:21:18A window, we couldn't touch him.
2:21:18 > 2:21:24We couldn't touch him, we couldn't see him,
2:21:24 > 2:21:26it was a horror movie.
2:21:26 > 2:21:28Distraught sisters describing the agony of losing their
2:21:28 > 2:21:2915-year-old brother in a fatal car crash.
2:21:29 > 2:21:32Darnell Harte was killed alongside two other children and two men.
2:21:32 > 2:21:36They were passengers in a stolen car which hit a tree at high speed
2:21:36 > 2:21:37in Leeds last November.
2:21:37 > 2:21:39A 15-year-old boy was jailed for 4.5 years for dangerous driving,
2:21:39 > 2:21:44but he's far from alone in being an underage driver.
2:21:44 > 2:21:47I was putting people in danger.
2:21:47 > 2:21:49I know that's other people's life, you know, it matters
2:21:49 > 2:21:56to another family.
2:21:56 > 2:21:59Mikey started driving on the streets of Bradford aged 16,
2:21:59 > 2:22:02he and his friends used to hire a car to take out onto the roads.
2:22:02 > 2:22:06If there a group of us, you know, we'll all chip in and we'll let
2:22:06 > 2:22:10an older person know we want a car and they will get a car from someone
2:22:10 > 2:22:11else and bring it to us.
2:22:11 > 2:22:15I do get a rush, you know, when I want to put my foot down
2:22:15 > 2:22:16and go crazy.
2:22:16 > 2:22:18In 2014, almost 700 children aged 16 and under
2:22:18 > 2:22:20were disqualified from driving.
2:22:20 > 2:22:22However, last year, that number had risen to more than 1,000,
2:22:22 > 2:22:26an increase of 47%.
2:22:26 > 2:22:30This is the tip of the iceberg because of course they have to be
2:22:30 > 2:22:33caught breaking the law in this way and inevitably many won't be,
2:22:33 > 2:22:35they will get away scot-free.
2:22:35 > 2:22:38Elyse and Natasha are now calling for tougher jail terms.
2:22:38 > 2:22:46The Minister of Justice said it will bring forward changes
2:22:48 > 2:22:50to the law as soon as an parliamentary time allows.
2:22:50 > 2:22:51Phil Bodmer, BBC News.
2:22:51 > 2:22:53Tim Shalcross is from the charity, IAM RoadSmart.
2:22:53 > 2:22:54He joins us now.
2:22:54 > 2:22:59It is harrowing joining from the families -- hearing from the
2:22:59 > 2:23:04families. The story has thrown up odd, to put it mildly, situations.
2:23:04 > 2:23:14Major major offence, 13-year-old is banned from driving but they serve
2:23:14 > 2:23:19it at a time when they cannot drive in a way because they are under 17.
2:23:19 > 2:23:25That is correct. People say, what is the deterrent of that? If you switch
2:23:25 > 2:23:29around and look at it from the other point of view, OK, let us make the
2:23:29 > 2:23:34band take effect from when they are entitled to get a licence, from 17,
2:23:34 > 2:23:38that is suspending implementation of the sentence that the number of
2:23:38 > 2:23:43years which is something that is alien to UK law -- the ban take
2:23:43 > 2:23:50effect. Even if you did that, there in mind these are people who already
2:23:50 > 2:23:54have little or no respect for the law otherwise they would not be
2:23:54 > 2:23:58breaking it and all you do at the age of 17, OK, I will carry on
2:23:58 > 2:24:03driving without a license, I will carry on doing it now I did it
2:24:03 > 2:24:07before. You create a body of people who were flouting the law at 17 as
2:24:07 > 2:24:15well as 30.If a ban when they are not legally allowed to drive on the
2:24:15 > 2:24:17weight is inappropriate or ineffective, shall we say, there is
2:24:17 > 2:24:24an assumption that could be, what is the answer?You must think about how
2:24:24 > 2:24:28these people are caught. Some tragically as a result of crashing
2:24:28 > 2:24:31the car because they have not had training but also the police will
2:24:31 > 2:24:37have had to have noticed some kind of abnormal behaviour, driving
2:24:37 > 2:24:41erratically, not surprising, not trained to drive a car, going
2:24:41 > 2:24:44through red lights, speeding commonly, something will bring them
2:24:44 > 2:24:47to the attention of police, and there is often another crime
2:24:47 > 2:24:52involved, it might be drugs, alcohol, even though they are
2:24:52 > 2:24:59underage, theft, stealing the
2:24:59 > 2:25:00underage, theft, stealing the car to drive it. There will be another
2:25:00 > 2:25:03punishment as well. But the biggest deterrent to committing a crime for
2:25:03 > 2:25:06all of us, frankly, is the fear of getting caught and there was no
2:25:06 > 2:25:09doubt the cut in police numbers, visible police on the road, it makes
2:25:09 > 2:25:14it more likely people think, might as well do it, no police around.You
2:25:14 > 2:25:23are touching an adult rationale to things. The figures show in 2017, 33
2:25:23 > 2:25:26disqualifications for children aged 13. At the age of 13, you are
2:25:26 > 2:25:31unlikely to be doing the kind of rational you are talking about.
2:25:31 > 2:25:38Well, you know, there are lots of places where people can get driving
2:25:38 > 2:25:40experience in a safe environment perfectly legally off the road under
2:25:40 > 2:25:46the age of 17.That would take the excitement out of it?That is the
2:25:46 > 2:25:50problem. These people are thrill seekers. There are lots of places
2:25:50 > 2:25:55across the nation where you can book lessons, quite exciting lessons in
2:25:55 > 2:26:01some cases, there is an under 17s car club, not just driving a car
2:26:01 > 2:26:06around a car park, they take you to off-road places...Those are
2:26:06 > 2:26:10expensive, let us be honest.There is a price attached to them and it
2:26:10 > 2:26:15will not appeal to the kind of people that take a car or indulged
2:26:15 > 2:26:19in illegal behaviour.There is also the issue, people think, I will not
2:26:19 > 2:26:23reward someone for breaking the law, why should these kids be rewarded
2:26:23 > 2:26:29with exciting driving schools?I am not suggesting we do that. If people
2:26:29 > 2:26:35are really keen on driving, which is a great thing, keen on learning to
2:26:35 > 2:26:40drive and getting experience at an early age, that is good because it
2:26:40 > 2:26:46ingrained is driving into you, but sadly, they do have cost attached
2:26:46 > 2:26:51and it will not be the kind of thrill like this really are seeking,
2:26:51 > 2:26:55but there is no doubt, going back to it, the presence of highly visible
2:26:55 > 2:26:59police on the streets is a powerful deterrent to all of us for
2:26:59 > 2:27:04committing any kind of offence and that will be good.Thank you very
2:27:04 > 2:30:24much for speaking to us.
2:30:24 > 2:30:26Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
2:30:26 > 2:30:29Now though it's back to Charlie and Naga.
2:30:32 > 2:30:38Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
2:30:38 > 2:30:42At least 17 people including children and teachers have been
2:30:42 > 2:30:44killed after a gun attack at a high school in Florida.
2:30:44 > 2:30:47Several other people are being treated in hospital.
2:30:47 > 2:30:49Shortly after the shootings, police arrested a 19-year-old former
2:30:49 > 2:30:51pupil who'd been expelled from the school in Parkland,
2:30:51 > 2:30:55around 50 miles north of Miami.
2:30:55 > 2:30:57Earlier on Breakfast, we heard from a local journalist
2:30:57 > 2:31:00who was at the scene and spoke to a student who had
2:31:00 > 2:31:05fled from the school when he heard shots being fired.
2:31:06 > 2:31:07He eventually got to
2:31:07 > 2:31:09He eventually got to safety and linked up with his parents, however
2:31:09 > 2:31:15his twin sister was still inside so it took a little bit of time before
2:31:15 > 2:31:20those parents could be reunited with her. Speaking to his father,
2:31:20 > 2:31:24speaking to the father of those children, he essentially told me
2:31:24 > 2:31:28that it has become a standard line, people tend to say now, we never
2:31:28 > 2:31:37think it will happen here, and then it does.
2:31:37 > 2:31:41The ANC leader Cyril Romeu poser will be sworn in as South Africa's
2:31:41 > 2:31:45new president later today following the resignation of Jacob Zuma, who
2:31:45 > 2:31:49stepped down last night. Jacob Zuma resigned as president of South
2:31:49 > 2:31:54Africa after nine years in power. Following pressure from his party.
2:31:54 > 2:31:58He had been facing a vote of no confidence in Parliament if he did
2:31:58 > 2:32:00not agree to quit.
2:32:00 > 2:32:01The consumption of highly-processed foods, including cakes,
2:32:01 > 2:32:04chicken nuggets and mass-produced bread is linked to the risk
2:32:04 > 2:32:06of cancer, according to researchers in France.
2:32:06 > 2:32:08The study of more than 100,000 people is published
2:32:08 > 2:32:09in the British Medical Journal.
2:32:09 > 2:32:13Experts have expressed caution, but continue to advise eating
2:32:13 > 2:32:17a healthy, balanced diet.
2:32:17 > 2:32:21The Government has publicly blamed Russian military intelligence
2:32:21 > 2:32:23for a cyber attack last year which affected
2:32:23 > 2:32:24businesses around the world.
2:32:24 > 2:32:26The Defence Secretary, Gavin Williamson, said Russia
2:32:26 > 2:32:28was "ripping up the rule book by undermining democracy
2:32:28 > 2:32:32and weaponising information".
2:32:32 > 2:32:34Russia has denied responsibility for the attack.
2:32:34 > 2:32:38Dubious financial advisors exploited former steel workers
2:32:38 > 2:32:42in a pensions mis-selling scandal, according to MPs.
2:32:42 > 2:32:45The Work and Pensions Select Committee says it cost the people
2:32:45 > 2:32:47involved thousands of pounds, and that the Financial Conduct
2:32:47 > 2:32:49Authority did too little to protect them after the closure
2:32:49 > 2:32:56of the British Steel Pension Scheme.
2:32:56 > 2:33:02If you have ever seen a baby and said, so cute, I could eat you up!
2:33:02 > 2:33:06Well, here is what you could eat and not get into trouble for!
2:33:06 > 2:33:10The Cape babies are the ones in the middle and the ones either side are
2:33:10 > 2:33:15the real children, if you have not gathered battle ready! Lara Mason is
2:33:15 > 2:33:19the cake maker and spent more than 100 hours crafting versions of her
2:33:19 > 2:33:28own daughters, Lily and Lila. 44 eggs, apparently, in total, two
2:33:28 > 2:33:32killers of flour, four kilos of buttercream.
2:33:32 > 2:33:37Extraordinary. All I will say is, how do you cut that cake? It is a
2:33:37 > 2:33:41tricky one. I am amazed they stayed intact with
2:33:41 > 2:33:44the children near them because you would think the first thing they
2:33:44 > 2:33:52would do would eat something. Unless they thought they were not Kate.
2:33:52 > 2:33:57Just grabbing an arm and chewing on it! Matt will have the weather in
2:33:57 > 2:34:03ten minutes, first, let's see what else is coming up...
2:34:03 > 2:34:06She wowed Simon Cowell on Britain's Got Talent -
2:34:06 > 2:34:09young magician Issy Simpson will tell us why she needs a head
2:34:09 > 2:34:17for heights for her latest illusion.
2:34:18 > 2:34:21Antimo Magnotta was the pianist on board the Costa Concordia cruise
2:34:21 > 2:34:23ship which sank six years ago.
2:34:23 > 2:34:25He'll tell us how that tragic night changed shaped
2:34:25 > 2:34:30the sound of his music.
2:34:30 > 2:34:32Visually impaired skier Millie Knight will tell us
2:34:32 > 2:34:37why it is all downhill from here if she wants
2:34:37 > 2:34:40to realise her dream as she prepares to go for gold
2:34:40 > 2:34:43at next month's Winter Paralympics in Pyeongchang.
2:34:43 > 2:34:48We will have a bit more on that in a few minutes.
2:34:48 > 2:34:53You have experienced it first hand? Yes, with her guide, listening to
2:34:53 > 2:34:57the instructions and the sound of the ice and the snow.
2:34:57 > 2:35:02Word you actually skiing? Yes, but not going as fast as she would! It
2:35:02 > 2:35:05is surreal, you don't know if you were moving or not, not with the
2:35:05 > 2:35:10speed I was at! But it is all happening at the moment, the latest
2:35:10 > 2:35:12British interest is Amanda Lightfoot in the biathlon.
2:35:12 > 2:35:18Great name! You have to go down, came at a
2:35:18 > 2:35:21target as small as the inside of a toilet roll, and it comes off your
2:35:21 > 2:35:25time if you miss. Say that again? 50 metres...
2:35:25 > 2:35:32Cross-country skiing, then lie down, fire at a target 50 metres away the
2:35:32 > 2:35:37size of the inside of a toilet roll. So, good luck to Amanda. But we all
2:35:37 > 2:35:40talking about Dom Parsons who could get Britain's first medal in the
2:35:40 > 2:35:44games in the early hours of tomorrow morning after a great competition
2:35:44 > 2:35:45performance in the first runs.
2:35:45 > 2:35:47Let's cross live to Katherine Downes who's live in Pyeongchang
2:35:47 > 2:35:53for us this morning.
2:35:53 > 2:35:56Dana is the Phoenix snow park where the sliding Centre is, where the
2:35:56 > 2:36:00focus will be in the early hours, I 2:30am we should know if Dom Parsons
2:36:00 > 2:36:04has got a medal for Great Britain, the margins are so fine committee is
2:36:04 > 2:36:09in fourth at the moment, just having to make up three hundredths of a
2:36:09 > 2:36:16second, incredible how tense that will be. I was just reading his
2:36:16 > 2:36:19Twitter account, saying he will be watching TV, reading books, but how
2:36:19 > 2:36:22on earth will he not be able to think all night long of what will
2:36:22 > 2:36:26happen tomorrow?! I know, he has put himself into a
2:36:26 > 2:36:30fantastic position, laying down the runs of his career. In the Olympic
2:36:30 > 2:36:35Games as well, what a time to produce them from Dom Parsons, GB's
2:36:35 > 2:36:39skeleton slider, the lead skeleton slider because we have another in
2:36:39 > 2:36:43the heats as well in 12th position at the moment so we could have two
2:36:43 > 2:36:46finishing in the top ten at the sliding centre which is just over my
2:36:46 > 2:36:54right shoulder. You can see the top of it at the top of the hill, the
2:36:54 > 2:36:56Quorn turning and twisting down the side of the mountain over there to
2:36:56 > 2:36:59the right-hand side, but three hundredths of a second of a bronze
2:36:59 > 2:37:04medal position, Dom Parsons, after the first two heats. Brilliant runs
2:37:04 > 2:37:08from him so now he has to stay calm, stay focused overnight with runs
2:37:08 > 2:37:12three and four to come tomorrow as he goes for what would be great
2:37:12 > 2:37:19Britain's first medal of these games. No pressure, then!
2:37:19 > 2:37:23A few mistakes on the first one, probably a bit of race tension,
2:37:23 > 2:37:27ended up over driving a couple of bits, ended up of lime, it is what
2:37:27 > 2:37:33it is. I am still in the mix, so I will take that.
2:37:33 > 2:37:41So, Dom Parsons needs to hold his nerve. In the same way that the
2:37:41 > 2:37:47men's curling team needed to hold their nerve against Japan, they took
2:37:47 > 2:37:51it 6-5. They beat Switzerland in the opening match then lost to the
2:37:51 > 2:37:54defending champions Canada yesterday so back on track for Kyle Smith, the
2:37:54 > 2:38:00skipper of the team, and his men, as they chase another Olympic medal,
2:38:00 > 2:38:03big shoes to fill after Great Britain's men won silver in Sochi
2:38:03 > 2:38:10last time around. Great Britain's women won bronze last time around
2:38:10 > 2:38:16but they have lost their match to the USA, a shock loss for Great
2:38:16 > 2:38:21Britain's women. They take on China later today so they could make up
2:38:21 > 2:38:27some ground there. They beat the Olympic athletes from Russia
2:38:27 > 2:38:31yesterday, so they are back in action against China this morning at
2:38:31 > 2:38:34about 11:05am. The wind has dropped, the temperature with it, the
2:38:34 > 2:38:40sunshine is out and that means the Alpine ski can probably get going
2:38:40 > 2:38:47today and Norway's athlete became the oldest Olympic champion that
2:38:47 > 2:38:50Alpine skiing have ever seen, he just missed out on the medals in
2:38:50 > 2:38:55Sochi so he had a point to prove coming into the games, he won the
2:38:55 > 2:38:58men's downhill, one of the blue with and events of the Olympic Games, a
2:38:58 > 2:39:05bit like the men's 100 metres in the summer games.
2:39:07 > 2:39:13summer games. No surprises at all that Mikaela Shiffrin won her first
2:39:13 > 2:39:18Olympic medal in such a happy age of just 18 and could be on 44 macro
2:39:18 > 2:39:22gold medals in these games, she won the women's giant slalom and if she
2:39:22 > 2:39:26does with those four medals then it would be the most of any Alpine
2:39:26 > 2:39:32skier at any games in history so the USA superstars, we saw Shaun Wright
2:39:32 > 2:39:35in the half pipe, Claire Whee Kim in the half pipe, they really are
2:39:35 > 2:39:38delivering in these games, turning out to be a very good few weeks but
2:39:38 > 2:39:44the USA. Indeed, thank you very much indeed.
2:39:44 > 2:39:47Away from Pyeongchang, there was another hugely impressive
2:39:47 > 2:39:49performance from an English side in the Champions League.
2:39:49 > 2:39:51It was Liverpools first game in the knock-out
2:39:51 > 2:39:53stages for nine years, and they marked
2:39:53 > 2:39:55the occasion in style.
2:39:55 > 2:39:58A hat-trick from Sadio Mane helped them to a 5-0 away win
2:39:58 > 2:40:06against Portuguese side Porto.
2:40:07 > 2:40:10Let's get back to the Winter Olympics, and if anyone knows what
2:40:10 > 2:40:16will be going to Dom Parsons' my definite, it is Chemmy Alcott. He
2:40:16 > 2:40:20says he will watch TV and read a book but how will he be able to take
2:40:20 > 2:40:24his mind of those runs in the early hours of tomorrow morning?
2:40:24 > 2:40:28He's incredible, he went under the radar because we talked about was
2:40:28 > 2:40:32Lizzie, Laura started doing well, so he could just slide in there and
2:40:32 > 2:40:37have these times, and I think he's right, distraction. We have seen the
2:40:37 > 2:40:39distractions in the Olympic Village, Massad chairs, so many games for
2:40:39 > 2:40:50them to play and that is what he
2:41:00 > 2:41:03needs to do.If he starts thinking about how big and life changing this
2:41:03 > 2:41:07could be then the pressure will start to sink in so I think he is
2:41:07 > 2:41:08right, it has been amazing how he has been sliding. Forget all the
2:41:08 > 2:41:11talk about the suits, although could that have been a distraction member
2:41:11 > 2:41:14by the British team to get the other teams focusing on the suits rather
2:41:14 > 2:41:16than their own performance?I think it was the other athletes playing
2:41:16 > 2:41:19mind games, we would never break boundaries with that, we are at the
2:41:19 > 2:41:21forefront of science in the sport, UK Sport money is going into the
2:41:21 > 2:41:24research and I think they wanted to rattle our athletes because they
2:41:24 > 2:41:26were performing so well on the training runs. It has not worked
2:41:26 > 2:41:29because Dom is still out there doing so well and I think it was a bit of
2:41:29 > 2:41:32a dirty tactic.Has it always been that cut-throat?This is the
2:41:32 > 2:41:34Olympics, everyone wants to win and you have to be mentally the
2:41:34 > 2:41:37strongest, physically the strongest, and the best on the day.You are
2:41:37 > 2:41:43friends, though, with other teams? You do get on? I was out there on my
2:41:43 > 2:41:47own so I talked to everyone, I wanted everyone to be my friend, so
2:41:47 > 2:41:50I was slightly different! But I did have a girl tried to put me off my
2:41:50 > 2:41:54game, I crashed on a jump and the next time we went to that job she
2:41:54 > 2:42:01said, that looks scary, how are you feeling? Thanks for bringing that
2:42:01 > 2:42:03up! But that is part of the strength, Alpine winter sports are
2:42:03 > 2:42:07scary, dangerous, you have to have a few screws loose anyway.Alex
2:42:07 > 2:42:14Dilley, I know we are building up to tomorrow, but she tried to be
2:42:14 > 2:42:18ambitious and brave but in the end it cost her?She is on the cusp of
2:42:18 > 2:42:23making it and being big-time and she is so strong, she laid the skis
2:42:23 > 2:42:26over, just a bit too much pressure on the end of the turn, spoke out
2:42:26 > 2:42:31and you can see how I see it is by how long she falls but she had to go
2:42:31 > 2:42:34forward and take risks and unfortunately today they did not pay
2:42:34 > 2:42:42off. She is in the slalom as well with Charlie, but it is brutal.The
2:42:42 > 2:42:45pictures are amazing, UCB 's crashes but I don't think it comes across
2:42:45 > 2:42:49how steep it is, it is hard on the TV cameras, it is incredibly steep.
2:42:49 > 2:42:53You do not ball that long and that fussed if it is that, if it is that
2:42:53 > 2:42:59you stop. 65% is the steepest part of the downhill. We love it, though,
2:42:59 > 2:43:02the difference in the Touraine. The downhill has got tunnels underneath
2:43:02 > 2:43:07it which is how the terrain is built in so they built the tunnel so that
2:43:07 > 2:43:17you get the man-made terrain roles. Amazing. You are going out there?
2:43:17 > 2:43:21Going out next week, really excited to have the atmosphere here where I
2:43:21 > 2:43:24have got into every Olympic sport and to go out there and specialise
2:43:24 > 2:43:31in the Alpine and support my friend Dave.Big, big days ahead.
2:43:31 > 2:43:38Fingers crossed.
2:43:38 > 2:43:41You will be pleased to know it is not as chilly as it is in
2:43:41 > 2:43:45Pyeongchang at the moment! And it warms up a little bit more
2:43:45 > 2:43:49over the next few days. A big difference of yesterday, a bit more
2:43:49 > 2:43:51sunshine around but we have still got some wintry showers and they
2:43:51 > 2:43:54will give a covering of snow in Scotland
2:43:54 > 2:43:54will give a covering of snow in Scotland and Northern Ireland in
2:43:54 > 2:44:00particular. Looking at whether showers have been so far, the early
2:44:00 > 2:44:05ones in the North of England have pushed into the sea, but you will
2:44:05 > 2:44:09notice western Scotland and Northern Ireland continued to push in and
2:44:09 > 2:44:14with it we could see a covering of snow in places blown around by gusty
2:44:14 > 2:44:17wind. A blustery day across the board and it will take a few showers
2:44:17 > 2:44:22eastwards through the day but most will be tried. A bit more detail for
2:44:22 > 2:44:28the start of the afternoon, we will see one or two showers around
2:44:28 > 2:44:31southern coastal counties, the odd heavy one but most places will avoid
2:44:31 > 2:44:37them, isolated wintry showers across the hills of Wales, the tops of the
2:44:37 > 2:44:41Pennines, the Cumbrian fells, parts of Northern Ireland and the
2:44:41 > 2:44:44Highlands might see some snow as well, the Highlands could see as
2:44:44 > 2:44:48much as 20 centimetres of snow through the day. As you can see on
2:44:48 > 2:44:52the temperatures, the blue colours shows that it stays subzero on the
2:44:52 > 2:44:56mountains, and if you add the wind as well it is a cold day but for
2:44:56 > 2:44:59many it is ten and 11 across the south of the country. Tonight in the
2:44:59 > 2:45:03south the wind will fall, a few showers in the West, more likely to
2:45:03 > 2:45:07see a frost tonight than last night, because of those showers around so
2:45:07 > 2:45:13be prepared because it could be icy tomorrow morning. There is a chance,
2:45:13 > 2:45:16only a chance, but tonight in Scotland and Northern Ireland you
2:45:16 > 2:45:19might see the aurora borealis. This shows where the greatest chance of
2:45:19 > 2:45:27seeing it is, the red colour is the greatest chance. So if the skies are
2:45:27 > 2:45:30clear for long enough there is a possibility of seeing some of the
2:45:30 > 2:45:34aurora borealis. But the cloud will come and go through the night as it
2:45:34 > 2:45:36will on Friday across western Scotland and Northern Ireland.
2:45:36 > 2:45:40Outbreaks of rain here and there, snow on the top of the hills but not
2:45:40 > 2:45:44as much as recent days, the wind listing battle-macro lifting the
2:45:44 > 2:45:48temperatures in Scotland and Northern Ireland. A dry day for many
2:45:48 > 2:45:53tomorrow but into the weekend after some early showers across western
2:45:53 > 2:45:56areas, watching a zone of cloud push into Northern Ireland, southern
2:45:56 > 2:46:01Scotland, northern England, we will see damp and drizzly conditions on
2:46:01 > 2:46:04Saturday, nothing overly wet, to the North some sunshine, to the south
2:46:04 > 2:46:08some sunshine, but for Sunday overall cloudier and for England and
2:46:08 > 2:46:11Wales a greater chance of some rain. More on that tomorrow morning from
2:46:11 > 2:46:156am. We see you tomorrow as well?
2:46:15 > 2:46:20Excellent. Had he got a magic trick for us now?
2:46:20 > 2:46:26A magic trick?! The disappearing forecaster!
2:46:26 > 2:46:32Brilliant.
2:46:32 > 2:46:34She managed to cast a spell on the judges
2:46:34 > 2:46:37of Britain's Got Talent last year, including the hard to impress
2:46:37 > 2:46:40Simon Cowell, with her seemingly impossible magic abilities.
2:46:40 > 2:46:43Now, Nine year-old Issy Simpson, is going to be the youngest ever
2:46:43 > 2:46:45headline act at the world's biggest magic convention in
2:46:45 > 2:46:50Blackpool tomorrow.
2:46:50 > 2:47:04She is with us. Shall we show everyone your tricks. Let's go...
2:47:04 > 2:47:07The vanishing statue of liberty illusion. Remember, no camera
2:47:07 > 2:47:14tricks. Watch.
2:47:16 > 2:47:21Here is a magic trick using this bottle of water, and this bag.
2:47:21 > 2:47:26Watch.
2:47:32 > 2:47:36You probably think there is another bottle inside this bag. Well, you're
2:47:36 > 2:47:46right.
2:47:50 > 2:47:59Inside this bag of got two coins. A 5p and a £2. Think of one. Got one?
2:47:59 > 2:48:02Watch.
2:48:05 > 2:48:15Where did that bottle go?A magician never tells their secrets. I always
2:48:15 > 2:48:22stick to the rules.Is there a hole in the table?No.A lot of people
2:48:22 > 2:48:27don't realise, when you were training to be in this -- training
2:48:27 > 2:48:32to be a magician it's a lot. Practice makes perfect, yes.How
2:48:32 > 2:48:38much time do you spent practising?I spent quite a lot of time.As well
2:48:38 > 2:48:44as your schoolwork and everything. He managed to impress Simon Cowell.
2:48:44 > 2:48:48Yes, it was... I thought it was going to be quite hard, but it
2:48:48 > 2:48:53actually wasn't!How come you are so good at magic? Your grandad has come
2:48:53 > 2:49:01with you today, hasn't he?Yes.He does some, doesn't he?He does lots.
2:49:01 > 2:49:06He taught me everything. He inspired me to do the magic and also Harry
2:49:06 > 2:49:09Potter inspired me, as well.You have a link with Harry Potter, or
2:49:09 > 2:49:15Daniel Radcliffe, haven't you?His manager is my manager.How did that
2:49:15 > 2:49:24happen?Well, I don't... Well, we went to a few meetings with her and
2:49:24 > 2:49:28she decided to sign me up.Let's hope it leads to big things. Already
2:49:28 > 2:49:31you are on the sofa, and it doesn't get much bigger.
2:49:31 > 2:49:35You are going to do the magic for us now, are you?Yes.What's going to
2:49:35 > 2:49:39happen? You have a pack of cards.I'm going
2:49:39 > 2:49:46to show you a card trick. It is a card trick like no other. Charlie,
2:49:46 > 2:49:49wait, I'm going to turn them face down, and I would like you to touch
2:49:49 > 2:49:54the back of any card.Any card that all?Yes.Do it that way so everyone
2:49:54 > 2:50:01can see.I'll go with this one there. That one?Yes, what's
2:50:01 > 2:50:06happening now?I would like you to look at the card, remember it, and
2:50:06 > 2:50:15what ever you do, do not show me. Can I show Naga?Yes.Can I show the
2:50:15 > 2:50:26camera? You will have to look that way.Done?Yes. What do I do with it
2:50:26 > 2:50:33now?Keep it. Would you be impressed if I told you that that card was
2:50:33 > 2:50:37printed on my T-shirt.That would be extraordinary. Well, it's got to be
2:50:37 > 2:50:41one of these. CHUCKLES
2:50:41 > 2:50:47Do you know how that one was done? For the first time, Charlie, what
2:50:47 > 2:50:54was the card?Do I tell you now? Yes.It's the four of diamonds.The
2:50:54 > 2:51:04four of diamonds...And there it is. Simon Cowell is involved in this
2:51:04 > 2:51:10trick and he is holding the card. Yes.Have we ever had Simon Cowell
2:51:10 > 2:51:12on the sofa? Not that I can remember.
2:51:12 > 2:51:18There you go, now we have. How long did it take you to learn that one?I
2:51:18 > 2:51:23did it on
2:51:23 > 2:51:27did it on Britain's Got Talent. That was in the audition. It took two
2:51:27 > 2:51:32weeks.If you were somebody like me, straightaway I want to know how that
2:51:32 > 2:51:36worked, I'm trying to work it out, I'm looking at your jacket, trying
2:51:36 > 2:51:41to work it out.A magician never tells their secrets.You are sworn
2:51:41 > 2:51:46to secrecy. Also, we like the idea of magic.
2:51:46 > 2:51:52It's nice to have secrets. Well done. Thanks very much. I will
2:51:52 > 2:51:59give you the card back.Thank you. Thank you.
2:51:59 > 2:52:02Antimo Magnotta was the pianist on board the Costa Concordia cruise
2:52:02 > 2:52:03ship when it sank six years ago.
2:52:03 > 2:52:05Unlike some of his fellow musicians, he survived
2:52:05 > 2:52:08but lost his possessions, career and ultimately his marriage.
2:52:08 > 2:52:11Now, he is back behind the piano and has written songs
2:52:11 > 2:52:14dedicated to the victims.
2:52:14 > 2:52:16We'll speak to Antimo in a moment, but first, let's remind
2:52:16 > 2:52:19ourselves of what happened.
2:53:21 > 2:53:23Antimo joins us now...
2:53:23 > 2:53:31Good morning. For everyone listening to that piece of music it is called
2:53:31 > 2:53:3532, the number 32 represented the number of people who died on the
2:53:35 > 2:53:39Costa Concordia. How have you translated that into music?Very
2:53:39 > 2:53:46nice question. Basically, 32 is a tribute to the memory of the 32
2:53:46 > 2:53:54victims. Among them, two friends of mine, two fellow musicians. The main
2:53:54 > 2:54:00melody consists of 32 notes. The main melody played by the Right hon.
2:54:00 > 2:54:06And each and every note is a tribute to a victim. -- by the right hand.
2:54:06 > 2:54:10That must have been an emotional piece to compose.It is still
2:54:10 > 2:54:14emotional to play because I need to keep control. It moves me, it still
2:54:14 > 2:54:20moves me after some years now.Take us through, if you would, because
2:54:20 > 2:54:25seeing those pictures again, for you, it must take you back to that
2:54:25 > 2:54:29moment. You were playing your piano, just explain, you were playing in a
2:54:29 > 2:54:33ballroom area, you were playing the piano, and what was the first sign
2:54:33 > 2:54:39you had something was going wrong?I was on the back of the ship.
2:54:39 > 2:54:48Performing my piano show for a handful of very well-dressed people.
2:54:48 > 2:54:52I was fully immersed into my routine as I had been doing for nearly 17
2:54:52 > 2:54:59years. All of a sudden, at 9:42pm, the Costa Concordia took a sudden
2:54:59 > 2:55:06swerve to the left and I fell off my bench. I was playing my piano. A
2:55:06 > 2:55:11very cinematic vision, actually. And that was the beginning of chaos,
2:55:11 > 2:55:19actually. I started going along the corridors of the ship, expecting
2:55:19 > 2:55:30some instructions. But nothing.Very quickly, you described it as an
2:55:30 > 2:55:33acute angle.It was about 85 degrees. The most difficult thing
2:55:33 > 2:55:37was walking because the floor became the war.How did you get off the
2:55:37 > 2:55:44ship?It took six hours. After the general emergency signal on board
2:55:44 > 2:55:48was founded by reached my master station, because I was a crew
2:55:48 > 2:55:54member, so I had to face my duties as a crew member, right? I was in
2:55:54 > 2:56:02charge of a roll call for 25 people. Some of them were missing. At that
2:56:02 > 2:56:07moment I would expect an officer to take myself and my people to our
2:56:07 > 2:56:15designated liferaft. Nobody showed up to me. So we were pretty much
2:56:15 > 2:56:22abandoned. My designated liferaft was already underwater. Because of
2:56:22 > 2:56:34the tilting. It was tilted upwards. Clearly a hugely involved story.
2:56:34 > 2:56:39Finish it off for us, how did you make your way to safety?I managed
2:56:39 > 2:56:45to escape through a broken embarkation gate. I found myself on
2:56:45 > 2:56:50the external site, on the flank of the ship.On the side of the ship?
2:56:50 > 2:56:57Yes. Because on the other side might liferaft, my rescue boat, was
2:56:57 > 2:57:03submerged. I found myself clinging onto a loose cable hanging from a
2:57:03 > 2:57:12crane expecting some rescue. Eventually you were. One of the joys
2:57:12 > 2:57:16of having you on today is that not only are you thinking about people
2:57:16 > 2:57:20who have been lost, and expressing that through your music, but your
2:57:20 > 2:57:26life has completely changed in terms of you went one year playing piano
2:57:26 > 2:57:31for wealthy people, as you say a cruise ship, to not playing at all
2:57:31 > 2:57:36for a while, and being a waiter, and it was almost happenstance that got
2:57:36 > 2:57:44you to the point play again.I realised that my best expression was
2:57:44 > 2:57:48music, still music. I didn't have anything to say in the aftermath,
2:57:48 > 2:57:52because if I had to tell you something I would have preferred to
2:57:52 > 2:58:02play you something. I was like a desert. I was dry. But I was alive.
2:58:02 > 2:58:08The part that triggered the fire was this piano at the place where I was
2:58:08 > 2:58:18working at a -- as a waiter. I had my second life started.People will
2:58:18 > 2:58:19understand that in your album.
2:58:19 > 2:58:21Antimo's album is called Inner Landscape.
2:58:21 > 2:58:28Becky so much for coming in.Thank you for having me.Thank you so much
2:58:28 > 2:58:29for coming in.
2:58:29 > 2:58:31Carrying out complex surgery is never an easy task,
2:58:31 > 2:58:34but the volunteer medics in a new documentary series
2:58:34 > 2:58:36sometimes had to do it without running water
2:58:36 > 2:58:37and occasionally no electricity. 'Critical Surgery: Changing Lives'
2:58:37 > 2:58:40follows 24 specialists from the UK who travel to Ethiopia to perform
2:58:40 > 2:58:42life saving facial surgery.
2:58:42 > 2:58:45One story in the programme is about a girl with a severe
2:58:45 > 2:58:46tumour on her face.
2:58:46 > 2:58:54Let's take a look.
2:58:54 > 2:58:59This is a 3-D scan of her head. The tumour has spread outwards away from
2:58:59 > 2:59:03her neck. The first thing the surgical team will do is remove the
2:59:03 > 2:59:07tumour so they can get access to the blood vessels in her neck which they
2:59:07 > 2:59:14will use to recreate her new jaw that the tumour has currently
2:59:14 > 2:59:18destroyed.She has both legs. Probably vitamin D deficiency. We
2:59:18 > 2:59:22don't often see this in the West, which complicates our reconstructed.
2:59:22 > 2:59:27The left leg is more bent on the right. We will remove the fibula
2:59:27 > 2:59:31which will be from about here to here, then we will use that we
2:59:31 > 2:59:35construct. We will not need all of that. We will probably need about
2:59:35 > 2:59:40this much.This is a normal leg bone. The smaller backbone, the
2:59:40 > 2:59:44superior, will be removed, leaving her ankle bone intact so she can
2:59:44 > 2:59:51still walk normally. Calvin will use this bone and tissue to create her
2:59:51 > 2:59:55new jaw. It's a precise job using high-tech computer scans he will
2:59:55 > 3:00:02measure and bend it fitted exactly into place. -- Kelvin will use this
3:00:02 > 3:00:09bone. -- and bend it to fit it exactly into place.
3:00:09 > 3:00:11Kelvin Mizen and Hiroshi Nishikawa are specialist surgeons
3:00:11 > 3:00:17in the programme.
3:00:17 > 3:00:21People possibly have got a flavour of the work you do. It is an
3:00:21 > 3:00:26extraordinary film and you are dealing with people who are in
3:00:26 > 3:00:30desperate circumstances. Just explain a little bit, possibly it
3:00:30 > 3:00:33helps to talk about Zinash first of all who have this awful tumour which
3:00:33 > 3:00:39when you first see it, it is the weight of six bags of sugar and it
3:00:39 > 3:00:44is just a desperate situation she is in.It was, yes. We had seen her
3:00:44 > 3:00:48about four years ago but were not in a situation to help her so we
3:00:48 > 3:00:53developed the service so that we could help her later on. The problem
3:00:53 > 3:00:57was she was not able to eat, she was bleeding, she was in pain, and the
3:00:57 > 3:01:02weight on her neck was tremendous as she was suffering tremendously.This
3:01:02 > 3:01:07is an operation even in the best of circumstances which would be very
3:01:07 > 3:01:13difficult, but you are working in very challenging surroundings.I
3:01:13 > 3:01:16think the wonderful thing about the charity is that it allows
3:01:16 > 3:01:22multidisciplinary teams to go, I don't think one individual person
3:01:22 > 3:01:27could ever do these cases and conditions are sometimes tough. I
3:01:27 > 3:01:32think the key is the personnel and the team, for any organisation, and
3:01:32 > 3:01:37I think together it was possible to do this very complex operation in a
3:01:37 > 3:01:41pathology or illness which we don't see in this country.One thing we
3:01:41 > 3:01:46can see is the impact you have on individuals' lives and their
3:01:46 > 3:01:50families as well. What we saw with Zinash, we saw her there in the
3:01:50 > 3:01:54piece before we started talking to you, her tumour was covered in a
3:01:54 > 3:01:58bandage but we also see the reaction of her mother when she finally gets
3:01:58 > 3:02:02to see the result of the operation, because the fear, and I think we can
3:02:02 > 3:02:06see it now... Dad can now go back and share the
3:02:06 > 3:02:11good news.
3:02:11 > 3:02:13good news.TRANSLATION: I am so excited to be going home to our
3:02:13 > 3:02:17village and letting everyone know how well Zinash is doing. I can't
3:02:17 > 3:02:25wait for her mother and the family to see how great she looks.He is
3:02:25 > 3:02:36taking a picture back to show her mum.
3:02:41 > 3:02:45TRANSLATION: Oh, my baby, my baby! She looks amazing, I can't believe
3:02:45 > 3:02:50it!
3:02:53 > 3:03:00it!Zinash's mum is overwhelmed. And no one from the village can quite
3:03:00 > 3:03:07believe the transformation. The emotional impact, the change in
3:03:07 > 3:03:12someone's life completely, and you have seen Zinash since?I went back
3:03:12 > 3:03:17in October and we saw her then and what you can see now is the lip and
3:03:17 > 3:03:21Bath have shrunk even more, she is now looking to go to school and help
3:03:21 > 3:03:26out, she is living a normal life. Our charities follow people up so we
3:03:26 > 3:03:29will see her again in May and October. The only thing that stops
3:03:29 > 3:03:33of seeing patients is the distance they have to travel because many
3:03:33 > 3:03:36times they have to trouble free or four days walking and then get three
3:03:36 > 3:03:41or four buses to come and see us so we follow the patient up over many
3:03:41 > 3:03:46years, we have followed up patients over 11 years even.Hiroshi, we have
3:03:46 > 3:03:53seen in the documentary when you arrive at a hospital
3:03:53 > 3:03:56arrive at a hospital and have people come to see you, you are their last
3:03:56 > 3:03:58hope, effectively, people with some desperate conditions and you are
3:03:58 > 3:04:01placed in a difficult situation of choosing who you can help. That must
3:04:01 > 3:04:04be agonising for you, knowing that they are hoping you are the people
3:04:04 > 3:04:08who can change their lives?It is one of the most difficult things to
3:04:08 > 3:04:15do. We have to be very dispassionate about it. It is crushing, but in the
3:04:15 > 3:04:22end our mission is about selection, we have to help the people we can,
3:04:22 > 3:04:27it is what it is. It is a reflection on the terrible plight of poor
3:04:27 > 3:04:30countries.One other thing I was going to mention, in among this, I
3:04:30 > 3:04:33don't want people to get the wrong impression, there is a lot of
3:04:33 > 3:04:37laughter and happiness in this documentary and it is the spirit of
3:04:37 > 3:04:41those youngsters afflicted with the most terrible things, it really
3:04:41 > 3:04:48comes through.You see that in the post up interviews with Zinash, her
3:04:48 > 3:04:51eyes are smiling even though she cannot physically smile, but you can
3:04:51 > 3:04:53see it tender eyes, we see the plight and desperation in their eyes
3:04:53 > 3:04:58and later what we see the hope and they're smiling eyes and that, for
3:04:58 > 3:05:02us, is fantastic.You go there to fix a problem but if you take one
3:05:02 > 3:05:11step back to look at the cause of the problem it can be so simple,
3:05:11 > 3:05:17like this bite by an insect, this flesh eating...It is a condition of
3:05:17 > 3:05:22poverty in young children.Because in an ideal world it would be
3:05:22 > 3:05:30sorting that out?Yes, vaccinations, it was present in the UK in 1800, it
3:05:30 > 3:05:34disappeared with sanitation, we saw it again in wartime, but with
3:05:34 > 3:05:40antibiotics and nutrition, hydration we can cure it, it wouldn't come, it
3:05:40 > 3:05:43would just disappear.People like yourselves are often very modest
3:05:43 > 3:05:49about what you do, you do this work for a period of time, a relatively
3:05:49 > 3:05:53short period of time, then you come back to good day jobs? How does it
3:05:53 > 3:05:58work?We are very lucky and privileged, it is about the patient
3:05:58 > 3:06:03both here with the NHS and in Ethiopian, I don't think that spirit
3:06:03 > 3:06:07is any different and I'm sure that is why both myself and Kelvin and
3:06:07 > 3:06:10the rest of the team go, I think it is a privilege.When is the next
3:06:10 > 3:06:18trip?Made.We wish you well. Thank you for showing us the work you are
3:06:18 > 3:06:19doing.
3:06:19 > 3:06:25'Critical Surgery: Saving Lives' is on Channel 5 tonight at 10pm.
3:06:25 > 3:06:27We will be back in a couple
3:06:27 > 3:08:01We will be back in a couple of
3:08:01 > 3:08:02Plenty more on our website.
3:08:02 > 3:08:05Now though it's back to Charlie and Naga.
3:08:09 > 3:08:14She was the youngest person ever compete in the winter
3:08:14 > 3:08:16Paralympics for Great Britain, and the first to win
3:08:16 > 3:08:19a World Championship.
3:08:19 > 3:08:22Alongside that, she has won seven visually-impaired skiing World Cups.
3:08:22 > 3:08:26Now, 19-year-old Millie Knight and her guide Brett Wild
3:08:26 > 3:08:28are preparing to head out to the Paralympic Games
3:08:28 > 3:08:33in Pyeongchang next month.
3:08:33 > 3:08:37They are both with us now, very good morning to you. I was just reading
3:08:37 > 3:08:42in the material about you, Millie, you are putting's best chance of
3:08:42 > 3:08:46gold in Pyeongchang, how does that feel?!It is nice to have Great
3:08:46 > 3:08:51Britain behind us and the support, but, for us, we are really trying to
3:08:51 > 3:08:54keep our heads down and do everything we possibly can do to put
3:08:54 > 3:08:59us in that position to beat gold medallist.Tell us a bit about your
3:08:59 > 3:09:07event?We competed Alpine skiing, five events, downhill, super G,
3:09:07 > 3:09:10super combined, slalom and giant slalom. Our favourite is downhill,
3:09:10 > 3:09:16the fastest event and the one we enjoyed the most!I just want to
3:09:16 > 3:09:19explain, because, Brett, that is you in the orange top?That is in
3:09:19 > 3:09:27slalom.Explain the relationship between new two on the slopes?We
3:09:27 > 3:09:31are attached by a Bluetooth headset, I am telling nearly everything I can
3:09:31 > 3:09:35see what is coming up, the different change in the course, the change in
3:09:35 > 3:09:39the terrain, if it is icy, soft snow, I tell Millie every single
3:09:39 > 3:09:44thing so when she hit it she is not taken of course, she knows what is
3:09:44 > 3:09:49coming up. We have been skiing together for two years.To me, that
3:09:49 > 3:09:56does not sound like an amazingly long time! Millie, I am intrigued to
3:09:56 > 3:10:01know, if something goes wrong, you compete as a pair, whose fault is it
3:10:01 > 3:10:04nine times out of ten?Might! Brett does such a fantastic job and I
3:10:04 > 3:10:08trust him with everything. We have an inspection run before the races
3:10:08 > 3:10:12which is where Brett learns the Corrs and knows exactly what is
3:10:12 > 3:10:15going to happen at certain points so if I am not listening, then things
3:10:15 > 3:10:21can go wrong!So it is literally a constant flow of information, you
3:10:21 > 3:10:26are not responding, are you just receiving information?No, Brett
3:10:26 > 3:10:29will tell me everything that is going on, the terrain, the snow, the
3:10:29 > 3:10:33Corrs, and I will say back to him whether we are going to quickly, too
3:10:33 > 3:10:36slowly, whether the distance is too big, and it all happens in a
3:10:36 > 3:10:43fraction of a second.Such speeds, you obviously have to be just ahead
3:10:43 > 3:10:47of what Millie is about to encounter?There are only really
3:10:47 > 3:10:53three command Millie would say back to me, she has to say turn every
3:10:53 > 3:10:57time, I look back every few gates to make sure, but every turn she says
3:10:57 > 3:11:00yes, then she says on or off, on is for me to speed up and offer is to
3:11:00 > 3:11:06slow down because she cannot see me. How much can you see, Millie?I have
3:11:06 > 3:11:155%.So it is almost an outline or a blur?It is a blur, I have only
3:11:15 > 3:11:18peripheral site so Brett comes in and out of my sight depending on
3:11:18 > 3:11:23which turn we are doing.That is why I wear the bright orange jacket,
3:11:23 > 3:11:27because Millie picks up the collar. It is quite scary for me to imagine,
3:11:27 > 3:11:32skiing at 70 mph, I am scared and I can see where I am going, all Millie
3:11:32 > 3:11:39is following is an orange blob!You guided Mike, didn't you?Yes, Mike
3:11:39 > 3:11:44Bushell and Graham Bell.Mike was here earlier saying it was
3:11:44 > 3:11:49terrifying! How did he do?He could not tell if he was moving or
3:11:49 > 3:11:59standing still, to be honest!His eyes were covered, won't they?Yes,
3:11:59 > 3:12:04with a pair of goggles which replicate Millie's vision.So he
3:12:04 > 3:12:09could just see the outline...I don't even know if he could see
3:12:09 > 3:12:13that, he seemed completely blind with the way you will skiing!In the
3:12:13 > 3:12:16early days of training, Millie, there must have been a big fear
3:12:16 > 3:12:20factor, how did you deal with that? I have always said that I cannot get
3:12:20 > 3:12:28scared but I cannot see. -- cannot get scared of what I cannot see. I
3:12:28 > 3:12:32trust to other is guiding me, the trust is always there with Brett and
3:12:32 > 3:12:36it is a partnership that I hope will go far.So do we. We started the
3:12:36 > 3:12:40interview saying you are the big gold medal hope for Britain in the
3:12:40 > 3:12:44Paralympics. We spoke to Shami output earlier and she was talking
3:12:44 > 3:12:51about the mind games...-- 's bid to Chemmy Alcott. Yes! Psychology is
3:12:51 > 3:12:55one of the biggest element in our sport. If you are confident at the
3:12:55 > 3:12:59start date the likelihood of a good one is high but if you are not
3:12:59 > 3:13:01confident in the start gate then you will have doubt and doubt is
3:13:01 > 3:13:05possibly the worst thing that can happen to a ski racer.Do you guys
3:13:05 > 3:13:09have a thing, you are at the top of the script, the countdown is on, do
3:13:09 > 3:13:14you have a thing that you do, a ritual?Millie is a massive Script
3:13:14 > 3:13:19fans so we say to each other, I can be the greatest, I can be the best,
3:13:19 > 3:13:23I can be king Kong is binding on my chest.That is hurting now and it
3:13:23 > 3:13:29seems to work! We wish you all the best, lovely to see you.
3:13:29 > 3:13:31The 2018 Winter Paralympics begin on Thursday, March 8th
3:13:31 > 3:13:33and will be shown on Channel 4.
