15/02/2018 Breakfast

Hello - this is Breakfast,

with Naga Munchetty and Charlie

Stayt.

17 people are killed

in a mass shooting at a high

school in Florida.

Children ran from their

classrooms as the gunman

attacked - police have arrested

a 19-year-old former student

who'd been expelled.

It's just terrifying. Terrifying to

the parents, terrifying to the kids.

Very emotional.

Good morning - it's Thursday

the 15th of February.

Also this morning:

South Africa's President,

Jacob Zuma, resigns after his ANC

party threatend to force

a no-confidence vote over corruption

allegations - his successor

could be sworn in tomorrow.

A fresh warning about the dangers

of ultra-processed food -

researchers say the more people eat,

the higher their cancer risk.

What are children spending

their pocket money on?

New figures suggest it's

makeup and computer games.

But are they facing more

pressure than ever to spend?

I'll look at the numbers.

It is nearly there. Our first medal

from Britain is within touching

distance. Don Parsons is a split

second outside the medals in fourth

in the halfway stage of the men's

skeleton that we will have to wait

till tonight.

Mat with the weather. A few showers

around again producing snow across

the north and the West of the UK.

Details on that and a full run-up in

15 minutes.

Good morning.

First, our main story.

At least 17 people including

children and adults have been killed

after a gun attack at

a high school in Florida.

Several other people

are being treated in hospital.

Shortly after the shootings,

Police arrested a 19-year-old

former pupil who'd been

expelled from the school

in Parkland, around 50

miles north of Miami.

From there, Nada Tawfik reports.

This was supposed to be one of the

safest communities in the country.

In an instant, these students became

helpless targets, sheltering in

place and fearing for their lives.

Officials now suggest this was a

well-planned pot -- plot to maximise

the loss of life. Just moments

before the end of the school day, a

former student reportedly pulled the

fire alarm at Marjory Stoneman

Douglas hi Scholl to draw out his

unsuspecting victims. There had been

a deal earlier in the day but

confused teachers began to exit the

building.

Kids were evacuating. I

was like, that's not a drill. We

never get a drill like that. He

started to back away towards the

middle school and I knew it was more

than a drill because we've never

done that.

Armed with an 15

semiautomatic rifle, he began firing

outside then continued inside the

school as panic and chaos erupted.

Police were warning the shooter was

still at large, even as emergency

workers rushed to treat those

wounded. SWAT teams evacuated

distressed students. In a row,

someone hands in the hour, others

clinging to each other for support,

they frantically rushed to safety. I

see you! Parents sick with worry

waited for news. The suspect was

arrested without incident an hour

later in the neighbouring city.

Police identified him as Nikolas

Cruz, who had been expelled.

He was

taken into custody I believe about

an hour after he left Marjory

Stoneman Douglas, after he committed

this horrific homicidal detestable

act.

This is the 18th school

shooting in the United States this

year. It's a uniquely American

epidemic that has only gotten worse.

Yet this country is more divided

than ever on how to solve the

problem.

I can only imagine this is a

community in absolute shock.

Absolutely. I think as the news of

this spread around the nation, many

asked, how is this happening again?

For people here in Parkland,

Florida, so many thought this would

not happen. This is a safe and gated

community with palm trees. Everyone

spoke about how loving the community

is. There was shocked that something

like this, which is so prevalent

around the rest of the country,

still shocked it could happen here.

In a press conference by several of

the officials as they gave an update

on the status of the 17 victims, and

try to identify each one, they

really said that this will take time

as a community to heal but they are

dedicated to making sure that they

have those who are coming to this

high school and in the rest of the

school system confident that they

can be safe when they go to school

but still, that is a question that

the rest of the United States will

have to grapple with and one that

President Trump mentioned briefly

because he said no child, no teacher

or anyone else should feel unsafe in

an American school and it is the

reality in America now that that is

something that politicians are going

to have to get a grip on.

Thank you

very much for reporting price

outside that school in Parkland,

Florida. -- reporting for us.

Jacob Zuma has resigned as President

of South Africa after nine

years in power.

His time in office has been marred

by allegations of corruption

and his own party, the ANC had

threatened to force him out

with a vote of no confidence.

Our reporter Pumza Fihlani

is in Johannesburg.

Pumza, take us through where we are

this morning. We will know that

President Jacob Zuma bowed out at

the last minute last night,

eventually giving in that

resignation that the ANC had been

calling for. The process in

Parliament begins. The African

National Congress want to elect a

new president, somebody who would be

sworn in today and becomes the

country's next president until

elections in 2019. The name they

want to put forward is the new ANC

leader Cyril Ramaphosa, the man

responsible for those negotiations

to get him out of office.

Pumza

Fihlani, thank you very much.

There could be a link between a diet

of ultra processed foods and cancer,

that's according to

researchers in France.

The study of more than

100,000 people suggests

that those who ate more of products

such as fizzy drinks,

mass-produced bread and processed

meats, had the highest

rates of cancer.

Here's our Health and Science

correspondent James Gallagher.

Ultra- processed foods include

cakes, chocolate, mass-produced

bread, crisps and pizza. It's

delicious temptation and too much is

bad for the waistline. We know being

overweight increases the risk of

cancer but is there something else

about these foods that raises the

risk even further? The study

followed 105,000 French people for

five years. It suggests increasingly

an ounce of our diet that our ultra-

processed by 10% is linked to a 12%

increase in the risk of cancer but

even the researchers say more work

is needed to establish why such

foods may increase cancer risk. So

what should we do?

A balanced diet

is actually even more importantly is

maintaining a healthy weight and if

we each to many ultra- processed

foods than we do pylon the powers

and although this study didn't look

closely at way and we know very

clearly what the links are with that

and cancer so I think it's

and cancer so I think it's a warning

to us to have a healthy diet and be

aware of the links between our diet

and cancer.

Other experts said the

term of the processed food was so

broad, it's hard to know what's

really going on and to that other

unhealthy habits could be muddying

the waters. It is why the study is

being described as an initial

insight rather than definitive proof

on the role of ultra- processed

foods and cancer.

The government has publicly blamed

Russian military intelligence

for a cyber attack last year,

which affected businesses

around the world.

The Defence Secretary,

Gavin Williamson, said Russia

was "ripping up the rule book

by undermining democracy

and weaponising information".

Russia has denied

responsibility for the attack.

Dubious financial advisors exploited

former steel workers in a pensions

mis-selling scandal

according to MPs.

The Work and Pensions Select

Committee says it cost

the people involved thousands

and the Financial Conduct Authority

did too little to protect

them after the closure

of the British Steel Pension Scheme.

Differences in life expectancy

between the richest and poorest

neighbourhoods have widened

according to a new report.

The Longevity Science Panel found

that, a boy born in one

of the most affluent areas

will outlive one born in one

of the poorest by nearly

eight and a half years.

Some of the least affluent areas

are in the North West of England,

including Blackpool and Knowsley.

Some of the wealthiest

are in the South East.

Now, have you ever seen a baby

and said, "Oh they're so cute,

"I could eat them up."

Me neither.

Well, here are some that

you could actually eat.

That's needed a freaky alerts. --

alert.

An amateur baker has created

life-size cake versions

of her twin daughters

to celebrate their first birthday.

Can we see some more about? I am we

can. -- some more of that?

Lara Mason spent more than 100 hours

crafting the edible version

of her daughters Lily and Lyla.

What I'm worried about is what

happens when you cut them open.

A

lot of people like myself feel bad

enough about biting the head of the

gingerbread man.

That kind of thing

doesn't trouble me in the least. If

the cake is nice, the cake is nice.

Good morning to you. What have you

got Rose?

We are going to be waiting

to this first medal.

Don Parsons is

within touching distance. We've got

to wait until tonight to see whether

he can complete the job.

Dom Parsons has put himself

in a touching distance of Britain's

first medal at the Winter Olympics

in the men's Skelton.

At the half way stage

of the competition in PyeongChang

the Brit lies in fourth place.

0.03 of a second outside the medals.

Teammate Jerry Rice

is back in 12th place.

There has been disappointment for

the curlers, who lost to the United

States. It is China up next to Great

Britain later this morning.

Away from PyeongChang,

it was another night to remember

in the Champions League

for English football.

A hat-trick from Sadio Marney,

helped Liverpool thrash Portuguese

side Porto 5-0.

And British number one

Johanna Konta is into the last 16

of the Qatar Open, thanks to victory

over Spain's Carla Suarez Navarro

in Doha.

I will stick around for the papers

but we have got some weather.

Yes,

we have. You do it.

You never get to

talk to matter.

Good morning, Matt.

We often see each other out and

about on trains.

We have spent many

times together.

We know each other

well. This is nice.

They have bonded

already.

Cut out the middle people.

Don't go too far, what about the

weather, Matt?

Still a few showers are no showers

wintry and places. Over the hills of

Scotland and Northern Ireland. The

show you where the showers have

been. The bulk of the showers

further north, easing a bit in

north-east England over the next few

hours. Show does this -- -- snow

showers across western Scotland. In

between, lots of sunshine,

particularly the further south and

east you are. Many may just get away

with a dry day. One or two showers,

by and large. Still a few rain

showers towards the south-west. One

or two mixed in with the rain

showers. Still, a few snow flurries.

It is to the west of Northern

Ireland and the Highlands of

Scotland where we like to see most

of the showers and as I said, up to

ten centimetres, maybe even a bit

more possible over the higher

ground. Strong winds as well. Quite

a blustery day. Still sub only the

mountains. With some sunshine in the

south, ten, 11 degrees is certainly

possible. To take us into tonight,

we will see the showers continue

across the north and west of the

country, becoming fewer in number

further south you are. The chance of

some frost and ice to take us into

Friday morning. For many, it will be

a bright enough start. Still a lot

of snow continuing to fall. Prudden

eyed, if you have clear skies in

Scotland, you could see the all. The

green, slimmer chance. But still

possible across some parts of

Scotland and Northern Ireland. We

have the showers continuing across

the north and west of the country.

Much of England and Wales, a dry

day. Cladding over a little bit from

the West during the afternoon. Up to

ten or 11 degrees. Into the weekend,

a quick look at what we've got. A

touch of frost around Saturday

morning. Brightening up after a

cloudy start in Scotland. Northern

Ireland, southern Scotland and

England, generally fairly cloudy.

Not as much in the way of wintry

weather as temperatures continue to

rise. Into Sunday, just a bit of

caution. This weather system coming

in with a bit of uncertainty. At the

moment, it looks like there will be

a spell of cloud and outbreaks of

rain. Dry of the Scotland and

Northern Ireland. That will keep you

updated. Temperatures up on what we

have seen through this week.

Let's have a look through the papers

with Ben and Mike. Front pages first

and a story about...

The front page

of the Metro son, saying that

Corbyn... Saying Jerry, Jeremy

Corbyn met a commonest spy at the

height of the war and warned him

about clampdown is on British

intelligence. A spokesman has said

he was an agent, asset or informant

for any intelligence agency is false

and a ridiculous smear. It goes on

to say he met diplomats from many

other countries.

The Daily Mail

story here, processed foods driving

up rates of cancer, this is what

they are calling ultra- processed

foods. Any project, product

involving an industrial process is

making up half of our diet that any

product. A variety of stories on the

front pages this morning.

-- any

product. It has revealed 4700 people

have died in England in the last ten

years while waiting for an organ

donor. This four-year-old girl

pictured in here is one of those who

died waiting. It says this could be

avoided, the Mirror is campaigning

to persuade MPs to change the law to

save hundreds.

Ben, we're often told

to get youngsters involved in money

issues earlier, aren't we?

It's a

real obsession of mine, financial

education for young people because

we spend a lot of time doing

decisions in school but the biggest

decisions in your life are your

mortgage, savings, job, where to put

your money so there's a story in the

paper saying children as young as

six should get a bank card, this is

a prepaid debit card, not a credit

card, number of companies have

launched them and the idea is

parents can put their pocket money

on these cards and children learn

how to spend it.

They can do it on

the Internet or in shops. It's part

of the idea kids can learn to save,

know when to spend and learn the

value of money but some suggesting

that maybe six is a little early

because there might be limited

opportunities for them to spend it.

Six years old, can you imagine what

they would spend their money on?

The

picture I have got is a six-year-old

walking around with a bank card...

They would, wouldn't be? They would

hold it up and that makes them a

target.

No more so than having cash.

It does.

It isn't like you can rack

up thousands on it, it's all about

what you put on it, but the parents

through an app can block the card if

they want if it goes missing or

something.

What do you think, Mike?

When kids were younger they had the

plastic toy cards they could play

with.

They're just taking it a step

further.

They are. It is probably

easier to carry around than a piggy

bank. Lots of coins in a pig! At the

Winter Olympics, if they wanted to

make a sequel to Cool Runnings,

about the Jamaican bobsled team,

they they have the plot happening

the next few days. The women are

competing over the next few days,

their coach, a German competitor,

she has quit and the trouble is,

this is over a disagreement with the

rest of the team over her role, she

owns the sled and suggestion is she

might take it home with her. It's my

ball!

You can't play with my ball.

I

don't know whether she will because

she is close to the team. But she

might take the sled away but

hopefully there will be a happy

ending on that. Final word on the

suits, the British sliders' suits,

the aerodynamic lycra, it has been

announced completely legitimate by

the governing body but the rivals

and opponents are still moaning. It

could be a clever move by the

British team, getting the other

teams focusing on the kit rather

than being fastest.

It happened with

the rugby when they wore the tight

T-shirts and everyone moaned.

If you

can get inside the mind of your

opponents, district them then it can

work.

We will hear from Amy Williams

and sherry Alcott later in the

programme -- distract.

This is about

money again but how much do you

think you need to earn on average to

be happy? This is a study that

suggests £43,000 a year as a joint

income will make you are emotionally

happen but if you start earning more

than £68,000 it isn't good news. The

debate is how much do you need to

earn to be happy and content and

live where? That's the debate.

If

you had a joint income like that in

many cities, to try to get on the

property ladder, you won't be able

to.

What is the average wage,

£26,000?

£27,000, it has just gone

up. There's room to grow but

interesting, win you talk about

this, average wages finally starting

to go up -- when you talk. Employers

haven't felt the pressure to put

wages up, given the inflation rate

is high, wages starting to go up

with the employment market doing

well. Some way to go before £43,000

but anyway. I think my button just

came under an!

Flashing very early!

Thanks, Mike!

An inquest is to be opened

into the death of a young woman

with learning disabilities after BBC

Breakfast raised concerns

about her care.

Laura Booth died four weeks

after going in to hospital

for a routine operation.

The news comes as Mencap

and the Royal College of Nursing

call for compulsory learning

disability training for all NHS

staff in England.

Breakfast's Jayne McCubbin reports.

The house is the same as the day

Laura left. Her Tories aren't

touched.

We can't move them. We just

can't.

-- her Tories.

We do miss her

because she was our sunshine always

-- her Tories.

We went into the

hospital with our daughter for an

eye operation and and we came out

with a death certificate.

In

September, 2016 their daughter went

to the Royal Hallamshire hospital in

Sheffield for a routine operation.

She was 21. Over the following four

weeks Laura's health deteriorated.

She wasn't eating and was taking

only fluids. The family say they

repeatedly asked the hospital to the

Vlore intravenously with what is

called a TPN.

We kept saying to

them, when you going to sort

something, when are you going to do

something? This is not right, she

can't stay like this.

On the day

Laura died at the TPN came but it

was too late.

Her death was put down

to natural causes, but we've spoken

to an independent expert who has

concerns. He believes in

malnutrition may have contributed to

Laura's death, concerns we've shared

with the coroner, who has come in

the last 24 hours, ordered an

inquest. The hospital say that we

are so very sorry that some aspects

of Laura's care were not of the

standard we would normally expect,

and they say that Laura was being

given nutrients in liquid form and

that was constantly being reviewed,

that Laura's condition was so

complex it did have an impact on the

way in which she was fed. In a

letter to the family after Laura's

death, the hospital said services

are not primarily design for these

kinds of patients.

kinds of patients.

We're not dealing

with people like Laura, we're not

used to them sort of people coming

over here. When they said that, I

felt horrible. This is not right.

Today, the hospital told us they had

already made changes. More

specialist nurses, better trained

staff, but Mencap, backed by the

Royal College of Nursing is calling

for mandate to read learning

disability training for all NHS

staff. Training like this taking

place in guys hospital with the help

of Lloyd to better meet the needs of

this community, to cut the number of

premature avoidable deaths.

We also

want to have the right equal

healthcare treatment that we've

thoroughly deserve and there should

be no discrimination or sidelining

at all.

Neither NHS England or the

Department of Health would respond

to these specific call for mandatory

training, both had said they made

learning disability is a national

priority and would continue to

improve training. Laura's parents

felt their girl's life wasn't valued

equally.

What they see is the person

that's in that bed with all the

disabilities, she can't talk, she

can't walk, this that and the

other... What they didn't see at the

back was that lovely girl that we

knew what was so happy, like going

out shopping, loved going and

getting handbags. That's what they

didn't see, they just saw her

disability.

Jayne is with us.

So hearing from Patricia and ten

asking the questions you would ask

in those circumstances -- and Ken.

There's been news that there will be

an inquest?

There will be. We share

these concerns that were raised with

the coroner yesterday about noon and

within two hours his office

contacted the family to say there

will be an inquest and it will take

place on Tuesday -- we shared. The

family are delighted... That's the

wrong word, but they want scrutiny,

this is absolutely what they want.

Why wasn't there scrutiny in the

first place? Because the coroner was

told Laura's death was down to

natural causes. It would be wrong

for us to pre-empt, we can't

possibly pre-empt the inquest that

is about to come, but we know too

many learning disability deaths are

put down to natural causes. We do

know that in one hospital trust

because of the Southern health

review that 1% of learning

disability deaths were properly

investigated. This is a problem.

This is why in a couple of hours in

London, Mencap, together with the

Royal College of Nursing are going

to be making this three-year call

for action. Nobody should work in

the NHS if they haven't had this

mandate to read training, very basic

training in learning disability

people and the healthcare they need.

We will leave it there for now,

Jayne, thank you.

You're watching Breakfast.

Still to come:

Once branded

a totem and a piece

of bad engineering,

the Angel of the North has been

years.

We'll look at how the sculpture

one of Britain's best loved and most

recognised pieces of art.

Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are.

with perhaps some outbreaks of light

rain and drizzle, so milder

temperatures as we move through the

next few days and into the weekend.

I'm back with the latest

from the BBC London newsroom

in half an hour.

Now, though, it's back

to Charlie and Naga.

Bye for now.

Hello - this is Breakfast

with Naga Munchetty and Charlie

Stayt.

Coming up this morning.

As the Oxfam aid worker

sex scandal continues,

we'll ask whether it will shake

public confidence in giving

money to charity.

Antimo Magnotta

was the pianist on board

the Costa Concordia cruise ship

which sank six years ago.

He'll tell us how that tragic night

shaped the sound of his music.

What do your kids spend

their pocket money?

From tech to trainers,

they spend more than 1 thousand

-- £1,000 a year each.

We'll get some top tips

on how they can be savvy

with their savings.

Here's a summary of today's main

stories from BBC News.

At least 17 people including

children and teachers have been

killed after a gun attack

at a high school in Florida.

Several other people

are being treated in hospital.

Shortly after the shootings,

police arrested a 19-year-old

former pupil who'd been

expelled from the school

in Parkland, around 50

miles north of Miami.

Jacob Zuma has resigned as president

of South Africa after nine years in

power. His timing of this has been

marked by allegations of corruption

and his own party, the ANC, had

threatened to ball falls in vote of

no-confidence. In a statement he

said he was quitting with immediate

effect and he disagreed with his ANC

party party's decision.

The consumption of highly-processed

foods, including cakes,

chicken nuggets and mass-produced

bread is linked to the risk

of cancer, according

to researchers in France.

The study of more than 100,000

people is published

in the British Medical Journal.

Experts have expressed caution,

but continue to advise eating

a health balanced diet.

-- healthy.

The government has publicly blamed

Russian military intelligence

for a cyber attack last year,

which affected businesses

around the world.

Gavin Williamson, said Russia

was "ripping up the rule book

by undermining democracy

and weaponising information".

Russia has denied

responsibility for the attack.

Financial advisers exploited

Financial advisers exploited

steelworkers, according to impaired

-- MPs. It cost the people involved

thousands of pounds and Financial

Conduct Authority did too little

little to break -- to protect after

the closure of the British steel

pension scheme.

Differences in life expectancy

between the richest and poorest

neighbourhoods have widened

according to a new report.

The Longevity Science Panel found

that a boy born in one

of the most affluent areas such

as St Albans will outlive one born

in one of the poorest places

which include Knowlsey and Blackpool

by nearly 8.5 years.

The consumers Association says

faulty household appliances are

causing 60 fires a week in the UK

and says a third of the blazes are

started by washing machines and

tumble dryers. It is written to

ministers to give them 90 days to

address the issue.

Mike has got the support. So many

are asking me, when will the first

medal come for us? We won't have to

wait too much longer. The Dan slalom

tomorrow but Don Parsons, he is

within touching distance in the

skeleton. -- the downhill slalom. He

is so close to getting a medal. That

is look at how he slid his way into

medal contention.

Look closely. Everybody else is. At

the second skin on a suburban --

skeleton. The suits have come under

scrutiny. Whether they give an

advantage not, worn by Don Parsons,

it is a good fit. The halfway mark

in lies within touching distance

after two impressive performances.

Hopefully I can sleep tonight. The

last four years has just been

working to this one moments I'm

going to make the most of it.

He

would do well to catch the South

Korean ironman, Yun. He is doing

well on a track that looks

tailor-made for the Koreans. The

showpiece is the men's downhill on

the slopes, the equivalent of the

100m final. All or nothing. The

Norwegian Syndal will take home a

shiny gold medal this time.

Magnificent, and the Vikings are

celebrating. He has flown a fighter

jet and given a jet car. His need

for speed has been quenched the now.

Michaela Schiffrin delivered, with a

second gold at the age of 22.

Britain's Alex Tilley also letter of

the big debut slip by. Crashes are

common in the snowboard cross wacky

races on snow. Defending champion PA

Voltier avoided the dust of the

antics and nobody could catch on.

Slightly more sedate at the curling.

No less tense. As Britain lost for

the first time in PyeongChang to the

USA.

USA. Curling, the men leading Japan

at the moment.

Away from Pyeongchang,

there was another hugely impressive

performance from an English side

in the Champions League.

It was Liverpool's first game

in the knock-out stages for nine

years and they marked

the occasion in style.

A hat-trick from Sadio Mane helped

them to a 5-0 away win

against Portuguese side Porto.

That is a very good one. Exactly as

good as necessary so at the end, it

was a high result but I think

everybody saw in the game and all

the moments where we weren't as

compact. They had their moments, we

scored in the right moment.

And Joanna Konta has made it through

to the last 16 in Qatar. She had a

good win, getting past the world

number 29 and she now faces

Angelique Kerber for a place in the

quarterfinals.

Budding sports photographers, take

note. It can be quite hazardous.

note. It can be quite hazardous. As

Switzerland's Lara Gut, wiped out,

so she sends the photographers

flying for cover. Another guy in the

middle, he is very agile. No one was

injured.

We saw that a couple of

days ago.

They have to be alert

which is quite hard when you are

looking down the lens.

The one guy

there had tactics. The kind of

leptin front.

He could be an ice

dancer.

Interesting knowing that

they know how to crash and how to

fall. The skiers. As they are

sliding down, they are looking to

see whether they are going.

It's a

very important part of all those

winter sports, learning how to fall

properly. Look at the snowboarders.

The other one that gets me is the

double luge when they are lying on

each other. Incredible.

Talks aimed at restoring power

sharing to Northern Ireland's

devolved government have

broken down according

to the Democratic Unionist Party

leader, Arlene Foster.

to the Democratic

Unionist Party leader,

She says the key sticking

point is the demand to give

Sinn Fein have accused the DUP

This is what people from all sides

of the political spectrum in Belfast

made of the news.

I think it's a big disappointment

and I'd just wish she could get over

the line and get things up and

running.

Sometimes you'll have to

think if we vote to someone they

don't get on each other and think of

different parties. Certainly I'm

looking at different parties to make

a right choice but unfortunately we

will send a future that something

has to change.

I think she is just

right. We don't even know what the

Irish Act means. On the cards, no

way. When two prime ministers come

together.

I hope that they would

find some kind of solution. When I

first heard about it over a year

ago. But the longer it goes on, I

believe the worse the situation we

may find ourselves in.

I just think

both sides at the moment are being,

obviously they have problems with

either sides arguments and things

but they are trying to put their

differences aside and sort out the

country. Which is falling apart

slightly.

Let's speak to our correspondent,

Keith Doyle who is in Belfast for us

this morning.

People there just want some

stability.

What can be done? You can

sense the exasperation here in

Northern Ireland, the fact these

talks have broken down, but you

can't underestimate the importance

and the polarising impact of the

Irish language here. It is a real

issue. Sinn Fein and the Democratic

Unionists, they were in power and

the only way the sharing executive

works if there are two parties from

opposite sides working together.

When Sinn Fein pulled out last

January, that brought the executive

down and the only way to get back is

if they can make some agreement and

get back into power. Sinn Fein said

it will not go back into power

unless there is a stand-alone Irish

Language Act, putting the Irish

language on some sort of official

status. The DUP are deeply worried

about that. We thought there was

some sort of agreement. We had

Theresa May here on Monday. We

thought there would be some sort of

agreement but the DUP can't sell

that issue of Irish Language Act to

its grassroots. There is a section

of society worried about seeing

signs in the Irish language, Irish

language quotas in civil servant

jobs, that sort of thing.

Explained

the practical things. There are

decisions involving hundreds of

thousands of pounds that need to be

made. Who can make these decisions

in the absence of an executive?

There is no government here. The

decisions for the last 13 months are

the day-to-day running being done by

civil servants here. Any big

decisions, on Hospital, roads, the

just simply haven't been made and

that is the exasperation. All sides

say they want devolved government

back. Without the executive back in

power, those decisions aren't being

made and they are being made by

London. London has issued a Budget

for Northern Ireland and it's likely

to do that again and between the

lines of the DUP statement, they

definitely want London to issue a

Budget but the look there between

the lines is for direct rule again.

The Irish and British governments

definitely do not want that. The

Northern Ireland Secretary Karen

Bradley said there are some

challenging dishes and is ahead and

there really are. What we are likely

to see is Westminster issuing a

Budget in the near future and those

decisions could be direct rule or

more elections for Northern Ireland

but it is unlikely that will solve

the problem.

' to situation. Always

good to talk to you.

Time format's weather forecast. --

Time for the weather forecast.

Time format's weather forecast. --

Time for the weather forecast. We

have some showers falling at the

moment and some of those will be

sleet and snow as we have seen for a

good while. The blue colours, the

rain showers, fairly well scattered.

The snow showers are packing in. But

they're covering of snow over the

high ground. We'll see some snow at

times. Further south, it would look

into closer detail after lunch, you

will notice there are still some big

gaps in Macau -- cloud. A few

showers drifting across Southern

counties. While there will be rain

showers, a touch of snow possible.

North and west of Northern Ireland,

particularly across the Highlands of

Scotland, because the upto 20

centimetres of snow. Of course, on

the hills, you can see by the blue

colours, it is going to say -- stay

sub zero throughout. It will feel

quite pleasant. Quite a bit of cloud

at times. Reducing further snow

flurries and a few showers across

the West of England and Wales. The

other thing to look out for tonight,

clear skies across the north and

north-east of Scotland. This is our

Aurora chart. The reds, more likely,

the Green, a smaller chance. You

could catch the aurora with clear

skies across parts of Scotland and

Northern Ireland in particular.

Cloud will begin in western areas. A

little bit of hill snow. After a

frosty and at places cloudy start

and a dry and reasonably sunny day

ahead. Clear skies across England

and Wales, a chilly start. Through

Saturday, some areas will brighten

up. In between, southern Scotland

and Northern Ireland, some or cloud.

A weak weather front. We'll see some

patches of rain in drizzle. This

weather system on Sunday, giving us

a bit of a headache. At the moment,

it does look like it will be England

and Wales. Outbreaks of Wayne and

the rest -- in the West. Further

north, more likely to stay dry but

there is a chance the rain -- there

is a chance the rain band could

intensify. Most places, ten or 11

degrees. The milder theme will

continue this weekend but next week

it looks like temperatures could

drop.

Using to say that ahead of every

weekend. I'm going to enjoy the

yellow numbers on Sunday -- you seem

to say. The are is tonight in the

far north of Scotland?

A small

chance tonight in the far north of

Scotland and Northern Ireland -- the

are. Clear skies are needed, though.

Later on can we have a scientific

explanation for it, please?

Yes,

after 9am.

OK, Matt, see you later!

All the business coming up in a few

minutes.

Children some Asiana Air as 12 are

being banned from driving before

they even legal of two drive --

children some as young as. The

number has risen by almost 50% over

the last four years. Phil Bodmer has

been to meet the sisters of a young

boy killed by a teenager driving

illegally.

The killed him and we didn't get to

see him... Well, we saw him but we

had to look through a window.

A

window, we couldn't touch him.

We

couldn't touch him, we couldn't see

him, it was a rural thing.

Distraught sister is describing the

agony of losing their 15-year-old

brother in a fatal car crash.

Darnell Harte was killed alongside

two other children and two men. They

were passengers in a stolen car

which hit a tree at high speed in

Leeds last November. A 15-year-old

boy was jailed for 4.5 years for

dangerous driving but he's far from

alone in being an underage driver.

I

was putting people in danger and

their lives matter to other people's

families.

Mike started driving on

the streets of Bradford and 16, he

and his friends used to hire a car

to take out onto the roads.

If there

a group of us, we will all chip in

and we'll let an older person know

we want a car and they will get a

car from someone is and bring it to

us. I do get a rush when I want to

put my foot down and go crazy.

In

2014 almost 700 children

2014 almost 700 children aged 16 and

under were disqualified from

driving, however last year that

number had risen to more than 1000,

an increase of 47%.

This is the tip

of the iceberg because of course

they have to be caught breaking the

law in this way and inevitably many

won't be, they will get away

scot-free.

Elyse and Natasha are now

cutting, calling for tougher jail

terms. The Minister of Justice said

it will bring forward changes to the

law as soon as an entry time allows.

Phil Bodmer, BBC News.

We will be talking about that issue

later. One of the things that is odd

about the banning of children, a 12

or 13-year-old if they get a

two-year ban, they serve that ban at

that age and then by the time they

are 17 they can drive, the ban has

been used up even though they

weren't old enough to drive.

We will

explain all of that later.

Ben is taking a look

at what children are spending

their pocket money on.

Nearly £1000 each? That is a lot of

money.

It all racks up and for big

business, they want a slice of that,

we're talking about whether there's

too much pressure on young people

from advertisers and peer pressure

to spend that money rather than

perhaps saving it. We've been

looking at some of the numbers.

It might be a few pounds

here and there, but for the firms

vying for that money

it's big business.

We're talking about young people and

their pocket money.

And we have a glimpse

of what children are spending

on with new figures this morning.

The ONS says the average

15-year-old gets through

£1,300 a year.

A typical 13 to 15-year-old girl

spends £1.70 a week on cosmetics

and toiletries, that's

about £88 a year.

For boys that

figure was nearer £5.

But one of the biggest expenses

for boys was computer games.

That came in at around

£57.20 a year.

As advertisers target that

spending, is the pressure

on young people increasing?

Michael Mercheka is chief

executive of Young Money,

a charity that teaches young people

to manage their finances.

He joins us from our

London newsroom.

Michael, good morning. Are you

surprised by any of these figures?

£1300 sounds quite a lot for pocket

money.

I'm not too surprised.

I think it's an average from five

-year-olds to 15 -year-olds and at

the lower end of five to seven

-year-olds in their spending £5 or

£6 a week and at the high end it is

closer to £12 a week. It includes

gifts and work people do so I'm not

hugely surprised by the amount,

note.

One of the big issues here is

financial education of course,

teaching people how to manage that

money and spend it wisely but also

perhaps save some of it. Let's talk

about spending it first of all. Is

there

there too much pressure on young

people because business says we want

a slice of this money, spend it with

us, is there too much pressure on

them to spend it?

There's always

been advertising pressure on people

to spend but with social media and

really targeted advertising at young

people, I think there is huge

pressure to spend. I think the focus

on the Facebook and Twitter type

being out there seeing your having a

good time and looking good, that's

hugely increased pressure on young

people, yes.

Let's talk about saving

because saving and getting their

idea of putting money away for a

rainy day to be instilled in young

people at an early age?

I totally

agree. I think it's really important

to start at a young age, and by that

we mean primary school, because we

do have a huge debt problem in the

UK. With the second most indebted

nation in the G8. -- we're the

second. There are basic principles

you can teach in school and it's not

on the curriculum in primary

schools, it's on the secondary state

curriculum, but there are basic

messages about saving and spending

and risk and reward. I think it's

really important that those lessons

are taught in an interesting way to

young people, and that can be done.

Some of the biggest decision in our

lives involve money, be that your

mortgage, your job, your pension.

Why isn't there more education for

young people about issues like that?

I think at the moment in the UK you

have quite a narrow focus on the

academic subjects, so what Young

Money does as a charity is to

support teachers to build financial

education into the existing

curriculum subjects, and you can

make geography field trips quite

interesting in a financial way. It's

just that teachers do what they have

to do, which is delivered the grades

on the curriculum, so until we widen

that to include things like

financial education and skills

education, it's going to be a

pressure on teachers.

Michael, good

to talk to you, thanks very much.

Interesting when you look at these

figures, another one to tell you,

girls between seven and 15 spend

twice as much as boys on books, £15

a year. Boys spend ten times as much

a girls on computer games. More from

me after 7am.

Thanks very much, Ben.

Set up on the site of a colliery,

Antony Gormley's the Angel

of the North celebrates its 20th

anniversary this week.

It initially divided opinion

with the late art critic

Brian Sewell describing

it as a monstrosity.

Fiona Trott examines how

the 200-tonne steel sculpture has

gone onto become one of Britain's

most popular landmarks.

The unmistakable Angel of the North,

towering over the A1 in Gateshead.

It's one of the most photographed

landmarks in Britain and viewed by

31 million people every year.

I've

grown to love it. I think people do

have a very warm feeling about it.

It's an artwork that doesn't stand

on its own as an artwork in a

gallery but it's very much part of

everyday life and in Gateshead in

this region.

In the middle of the

night 20 years ago, the Angel of the

North made its slow journey up the

A1. It was built in Hartlepool. Its

body, as long as four double-decker

buses. Its wings, wider than a

Boeing 757. People gathered at the

former colliery site in Gateshead to

watch it put in place. An historic

moment. And first people were

sceptical, why an angel? Why so

monumental? But soon they claimed it

as their own, and that's exactly

what the sculptor wanted.

The fact

is it's not my angel, it is the

Angel of the North and that means a

lot to me. I had an idea, but it was

realised, it was made by the people

of the north-east and it comes from

that extraordinary story of the

relationship between coalmining,

Ryan, engineering and that history

of the Industrial Revolution.

For

many it's a special place. There

have even been marriage proposals

here. Local people say it's put the

north-east on the map.

Northumberland is fabulous and the

angel I think the pics just how good

we are up here.

Well, I'm up from

London and I just wanted to see it

for myself. I've heard about it

before and, yeah, it's pretty

impressive if you ask me.

I think I

didn't like it in the beginning, I

think a lot of people would say that

but it's really grown on me and now

I love it.

The popularity of the

Angel has brought more money to the

area too. Since it arrived here

overnight visitor numbers have

increased by 14%. This has led to a

revenue increase of 48%. Newcastle

and Gateshead make around £1.5

billion a year through tourism and

they say the Angel is a major

contributor to that. On its 20th

birthday, the Angel is preparing for

a medical. Like all structures, its

joints need to be checked so it can

stand proud for future generations.

Fiona Trott, BBC News, Gateshead.

Stunning pictures in the sun. It's a

marker when you drive from north to

South.

It's a reassuring thing now,

you're almost there.

Time now to get the news,

travel and weather where you are.

in half an hour.

Plenty more on our website

at the usual address.

Now, though, it's back

to Charlie and Naga.

Bye for now.

Hello - this is Breakfast,

with Naga Munchetty and Charlie

Stayt.

17 people are killed

in a mass shooting at a high

school in Florida.

Children ran from their

classrooms as the gunman

attacked - police have arrested

a 19-year-old former student

who'd been expelled.

My best and was actually lost --

locked in a closet for a while. Ira

is really nervous because she wasn't

answering me at first.

Good morning - it's Thursday

the 15th of February.

Also this morning:

South Africa's President,

Jacob Zuma, resigns after his ANC

party threatend to force

a no-confidence vote over corruption

allegations - his successor

could be sworn in tomorrow.

A fresh warning about the dangers

of ultra-processed food -

researchers say the more people eat,

the higher their cancer risk.

British Steel workers have been

ripped off by advisers. We will look

at why and what is being done to

advise them.

Is it all down to the

new skeleton suits that they are

doing so well? We will chat to Amy

Williams at 7:30 a.m..

While it was high fives

for Liverpool in the Champions

League, they all but booked a place

in the quarter-finals,

winning the away leg

in Porto 5-0.

Mat with the weather.

A few showers around again producing

snow across the north and the West

of the UK.

First, our main story.

At least 17 people including

children and adults have been killed

after a gun attack at

a high school in Florida.

Several other people

are being treated in hospital.

Shortly after the shootings,

Police arrested a 19-year-old

former pupil who'd been

expelled from the school

in Parkland, around 50

miles north of Miami.

This was supposed to be one

of the safest communities

in the country.

In an instant, these students

became helpless targets,

sheltering in place

and fearing for their lives.

Officials now suggest this

was a well-planned plot to maximise

the loss of life.

Just moments before the end

of the school day, a former student

reportedly pulled the fire alarm at

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School

to draw out his

unsuspecting victims.

There had already been a drill

earlier in the day but confused

teachers followed procedure

and began to exit the building.

As soon the fire alarm got hold,

and kids were evacuating,

I heard five pops.

I was like, "That's not a drill."

We never did a drill like that.

When we started evacuating back

away towards the back,

towards the the middle school,

I knew it was more than a drill

because we've never done that.

Armed with an AR-15 semiautomatic

rifle, he began firing outside

and then continued inside the school

as panic and chaos erupted.

Police were warning the shooter

was still at large, even

as emergency workers rushed

to treat those wounded.

SWAT teams evacuated

distressed students.

In a row, some with hands

in the air, others clinging to each

other for support,

they frantically rushed to safety.

I see you, I see you, I see you!

Parents, sick with,

worry waited for news.

The suspect was arrested

without incident an hour later

Police identified him as Nikolas

Cruz, who had been expelled.

He was taken into custody,

I believe, about an hour

after he left Stoneman Douglas,

after he committed this horrific,

homicidal, detestable act.

This is the 18th school shooting

in the United States this year.

It's a uniquely American epidemic

that has only gotten worse.

Yet this country is more

divided than ever on how

to solve the problem.

You will be speaking to a local

journalist soon to bring you

up-to-date. -- we will be.

Jacob Zuma has resigned as President

of South Africa after nine

years in power.

His time in office has been marred

by allegations of corruption

and his own party, the ANC had

threatened to force him out

with a vote of no confidence.

Our reporter Pumza Fihlani

is in Johannesburg.

Pumza, good to see you. What are the

reactions like in terms of this

resignation? Was it expected to come

so smoothly?

Good morning. A mixed

reaction. It's been a long time

coming for a lot of people. A lot of

institutions have been involved in

getting Jacobson out from civil

society to opposition parties just

students staging the Rome protests.

How the President was running

things. It wasn't expected, I must

say, that it would go that smoothly.

Some are saying this says a lot

about the strength of South African

democracy and the strength of its

institutions, this was able to

happen peacefully and South Africans

are just waiting now for the new

president to be sworn in in

Parliament which could be later

today.

Pumza, much of the papers

reacting to these are looking

forward to how smooth the transition

will be in terms of leadership of

the ANC and the presidency.

Correct.

The man poised to take over, Cyril

Ramaphosa, was the current deputy

president and head of the African

National Congress. He was filmed

this morning going for a jog along

the beach. No expectation of any

interruptions. He is expected to be

sworn in later today. His name will

officially be presented in

Parliament before Chambers for them

to vote and he will be sworn in on

Friday in his first call of business

will be to present state of the

nation address. The first time that

he speaks, all things being equal,

as the president of South Africa.

There could be a link between a diet

of ultra-processed foods and cancer,

that's according to

researchers in France.

The study of more than

100,000 people suggests

that those who ate more of products

such as fizzy drinks,

mass-produced bread and processed

meats, had the highest

rates of cancer.

Here's our Health and Science

correspondent James Gallagher.

Ultra-processed foods include cakes,

chocolate, mass-produced bread,

crisps and pizza.

It's delicious temptation and too

much is bad for the waistline.

We know being overweight

increases the risk of cancer

but is there something else

about these foods that raises

the risk even further?

The study followed 105,000 French

people for five years.

It suggests increasing amounts

of our diet that are ultra-processed

by 10% is linked to a 12% increase

in the risk of cancer but even

the researchers say more work

is needed to establish why such

foods may increase cancer risk.

So what should we do?

A balanced diet, but actually even

more importantly is maintaining

a healthy weight and if we eat too

many ultra-processed foods,

then we do pile on the pounds

and although this study didn't look

closely at weight, we know very

clearly what the links

are

and cancer, so I think it's

a warning to us to have a healthy

diet and be

aware of the links

between our diet and cancer.

Other experts said the term

"ultra-processed food" was so broad,

it's hard to know what's really

going on, and that other unhealthy

habits could be muddying the waters.

It's why the study is being

described as an initial insight

rather than definitive proof

on the role of ultra-processed

foods and cancer.

The government has publicly blamed

Russian military intelligence

for a cyber attack last year

which affected businesses

around the world.

The Defence Secretary,

Gavin Williamson, said Russia

was "ripping up the rule book

by undermining democracy

and weaponising information".

Russia has denied

responsibility for the attack.

Dubious financial advisors exploited

former steel workers in a pensions

mis-selling scandal

according to MPs.

The Work and Pensions Select

Committee says it cost

the people involved

thousands of pounds,

and that the Financial Conduct

Authority did too little to protect

them after the closure

of the British Steel Pension Scheme.

Last year, members of the old

British Steel pension scheme based

decision of their savings.

British Steel pension scheme based

decision of their savings. Workers

could choose to transfer their

benefits out of the scheme. A report

by a committee of MPs says some of

those who did were exploited,

shamelessly bamboozled by dubious

financial advisers.

There have been

people who probably had been fleeced

of the most valuable asset they will

have ever had, which they built up

as part of their pension scheme of

which these financial vultures have

been after and in too many cases

been successful in getting their

claws on.

We uncovered the case of

Richard Bevan, who had transferred

his benefit into a private scheme

after seeking independent financial

advice. He estimates the decision

has cost him around £200,000.

Another greedy sort of person that

of obviously been led into something

that wasn't right for me by a

financial adviser. -- gullible. It

is not a nice place to be at the

moment.

The Financial Conduct

Authority is criticised in this

report are not acting quickly enough

after concerns were raised. It says

it is reviewing its rules on pension

transfers but for steelworkers like

Richard, any changes will be too

late.

A lack of training to help

professionals could be contributing

to an avoidable deaths were people

with learning disabilities. The are

seeing says there has been a

catastrophic decline in the number

of disability learning nurses since

2010. The Department of Health and

NHS England say they have made

learning disabilities a national

priority and will continue to

improve training.

I've never been

more concerned than I am right now

about the needs of people with

learning disabilities not getting

essential services, that they have

the right to access, and they are

being shortchanged and we need to

stand together with our partners and

say this is not acceptable. The

consequences of not doing that are

not paying attention to that are we

will see more debts, premature

deaths of people, and that is

totally unacceptable as a society.

More than 1000 driving bans were

issued to children who are not

legally old enough to be behind the

wheel of a car. The figure has risen

over 50% four years. Statistics were

given to the BBC under the Freedom

of Information Act. The RAC

described the numbers as the tip of

the iceberg.

Matt will have the weather and the

sport at half past.

Let's return to our main story this

morning and the news that at least

17 people, including

children and adults,

have been killed in a mass shooting

at a school in Florida.

Let's speak to journalist

James La Porta who lives nearby

and has spent the day with worried

parents at the scene.

Thank you very much for your time

this morning. Understand you have

had the opportunity to speak some of

the youngsters who were directly

involved in the shooting to take us

through what they have told you.

I

got here, I've been on the scene

since about three o'clock yesterday

evening. I live three miles away

from where the shooting occurred. I

report for the Daily Beast in New

York city. As soon as I got up here,

it was kind of a chaotic scene.

Parents were desperately trying to

reach their children and

unfortunately, so many people were

on their cellphones at the same

time, it clogged up phone lines and

accessing the Internet so getting

information from inside the school

was problematic. Some parents were

able to eventually reach their

children on the inside and some were

not. The ones who were not, they

really didn't know what to do. Many

of the parents gathered in prayer

circles and they just started

praying because they didn't know

what else to do.

Have you had the

opportunity to speak to any of those

who were in the school and were

evacuated safely?

I have. One

individual I spoke to yesterday, he

was outside the school when the

shooting occurred. The sequence of

events that happened was, the

shooter has allegedly pulled the

fire alarm and by pulling the fire

alarm, throughout the students and

the students started to come out of

classrooms and that's when the

GUNFIRE

started. This student was outside

the building when that occurred.

Initially, he heard five shots and

he said he heard something that

sounded like an AK-47. While it

wasn't an AK-47, the shots he heard

are in line with what officers

recovered. They did

recovered. They did recover an AR-15

type of weapon that the shooter was

using. He eventually link up with

his parents but his twin sister was

still inside so it took a bit of

time before those parents could be

reunited and speaking to his

father,, he essentially told me that

it's become a standard line. We

never think it will happen here and

it does. Unfortunately, this

shooting is the 18th shooting as a

just this year and that's

unfortunately the line we keep

hearing, we never thought it would

happen here, and it has.

James, it's the early hours of the

morning and there will be press

conferences later in the day, but in

terms of the timeline, how long was

the shooter in the school between

the time it began and he arrested?

What I can gather based on reporting

from multiple sources and multiple

publications is the shooting

occurred sometime between 2:30pm and

3pm yesterday, maybe leading up

towards 3:30pm yesterday. Multiple

shots were fired. 17 people are dead

right now. I've heard at least 14

people are injured and they've been

taken to local area hospitals. Some

of those people right now are

fighting for their lives.

Specifically one... There's a

football coach who works at the high

school who was also hired as a

security guard. Reports indicate he

took multiple gunshots as he was

shielding students from the gunfire.

Initial reports reported that he was

dead, he's actually not dead but as

of right now he's fighting for his

life. In terms of apprehension, the

gunman himself from what I've been

told... The gunman took off running

towards his place of residence and

at some point in time he was

captured within that timeframe. From

about 3:30pm to around... And this

is an estimation... Around 5:30

p.m., possibly 6pm. But that's just

an estimate at this point.

James,

thank you for your time this

morning, James LaPorta speaking to

us from Florida with the very latest

information about that shooting. As

he was saying, it's been confirmed

17 are dead following that shooting

in Parkland in Florida.

Time to talk to Matt to find out

what's going on with the weather.

It's that rocky road of mild, wet or

cold and a bit brighter?

It is. Over the next few days things

are turning milder than we've been

used to over the past week, but a

wintry theme out there today,

especially north and west. More

sunshine than yesterday but wintry

showers and snow over the hills of

Scotland again. As we're seeing this

morning, this is the latest rain and

snow radar chart. You see the snow

showers packing into northern and

western Scotland and Northern

Ireland. A few showers in England

and Wales, mainly rain, a bit of

sleet and snow in the tops of the

Pennines, most will clear. Eased in

areas will see showers through the

day but in the west the showers will

be everywhere -- Eastern. A breeze

coming, not as strong as yesterday,

but may be gale force wind winds

around the coast. Around 50-6

themph. A few showers, wintry over

the tops of the Welsh hills. The

chance of further snow flurries in

the Cumbrian fells and the north

Pennines. Most to the north and west

of Northern Ireland and mainly

across the Highlands and Islands of

Scotland. In the Highlands we could

see as much as 20 centimetres

falling, that could cause problems

on the roads. You can see the blue

colours in the Upland areas, subzero

throughout. But further south, quite

a mild day, ten or 11, certainly

compared to what we've been used to.

Temperatures drop away overnight and

as the showers fade, a touch of

frost, but some showers in the

forecast in the west of Scotland and

Northern Ireland and the risk of ice

for Friday morning. Could be icy

first thing. The other thing to

watch out for tonight in Scotland

and Northern Ireland, this shows

where it is possible see the Aurora,

the chance of the lighter green

colours pushing across Scotland and

Northern Ireland, the best chance of

seeing it with clear skies at times.

Always more cloud... More cloud

coming and going in Northern Ireland

and Scotland through the day.

Outbreaks of rain Wilson of but not

as much as today. Much of England

and Wales, any showers in the east

will disappear. -- with snow. That

takes us into a mild weekend. A

touch of frost around on Saturday in

the south. A weak weather front

pushing southwards. Southern

Scotland, northern England, north

Wales and Northern Ireland staying

cloudy on Saturday. Occasional rain

and drizzle. The top of Scotland

will see sunshine, the bottom of

England and Wales, sunny spells and

double-figure temperatures.

Uncertainty into Sunday if you've

got plans. Check the forecast. This

weather front will push in. The rain

will be on the southern flank in

parts of England and Wales, pushing

through on the breeze during the

day. While at the moment it looks

try and sunny in Northern Ireland,

the rain could go north. Check the

forecast. Look at the temperatures,

above where they should be for the

time of year, peaking around ten or

12. That's how it's looking, Naga
