0:00:53 > 0:00:56Thousands of people in Florida, including survivors of Wednesday's

0:00:56 > 0:00:58mass school shooting, take to the street to demand

0:00:58 > 0:01:05tighter gun controls.

0:01:05 > 0:01:09If all the government and President can do is send thoughts and prayers

0:01:09 > 0:01:13than it is time the big is to be the change that we need to see.

0:01:13 > 0:01:16After a Super Saturday for Team GB at the Winter Olympics,

0:01:16 > 0:01:19we'll hear from all three medallists live on today's Breakfast.

0:01:46 > 0:01:48you your full forecast in around 15 minutes.

0:01:48 > 0:01:49Good morning.

0:01:49 > 0:01:50First, our main story.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53The husband of murdered MP Jo Cox has resigned from two charities

0:01:53 > 0:01:56he set up in her memory after allegations of sexual

0:01:56 > 0:01:58harassment were published in the Mail on Sunday.

0:01:58 > 0:02:01Mr Cox denies assaulting a woman at Harvard University in 2015,

0:02:01 > 0:02:03but admits to "inappropriate" behaviour while working

0:02:03 > 0:02:04for Save the Children.

0:02:04 > 0:02:12Our political correspondent Susana Mendonca reports.

0:02:13 > 0:02:19The murder of Jo Cox AN-26 been shocked the nation. The Labor MP who

0:02:19 > 0:02:22was also a mother of two small children was murdered they are far

0:02:22 > 0:02:26right extremist Taringa EU referendum campaign. After her

0:02:26 > 0:02:29death, her husband Brendan became a prominent campaigner against

0:02:29 > 0:02:34extremism and went on to help set up to organisations, Aqua three and

0:02:34 > 0:02:39More In Common. Now he has resigned from both following allegations in

0:02:39 > 0:02:42the Mail on Sunday that he sexually harassed female colleagues while

0:02:42 > 0:02:46working for the charity Save the Children. In a statement, he said:

0:02:58 > 0:03:05a source close to him said he had ever sexually assaulted anyone and

0:03:05 > 0:03:09that the allegations were exaggerated. The Jo Cox foundation

0:03:09 > 0:03:13said that Mr Cox was admired by staff there to the integrity

0:03:13 > 0:03:17commitment and dedication he had shown to creating a positive legacy

0:03:17 > 0:03:19for his wife.

0:03:19 > 0:03:20Susana Mendonca, BBC News.

0:03:20 > 0:03:23The new education secretary says he wants to see more variety

0:03:23 > 0:03:26in university tuition fees in England, rather than what he says

0:03:26 > 0:03:29is almost all institutions charging "exactly the same price".

0:03:29 > 0:03:31Interviewed in the Sunday Times, Damian Hinds also suggests

0:03:31 > 0:03:34the benefit of a university course to the economy could help

0:03:34 > 0:03:37decide future fees.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40It comes as he and the Prime Minister announce a review

0:03:40 > 0:03:48into university funding today, as Simon Clemison reports.

0:03:49 > 0:03:54Many of the day's students were not born when university tuition fees

0:03:54 > 0:03:57were first introduced but 20 years on, the link between getting a

0:03:57 > 0:04:01degree and paying towards the cost of it remains that has meant big

0:04:01 > 0:04:05sacrifices for some.But parents sold their house all I could come to

0:04:05 > 0:04:09uni, on the first one in my family. Looking at it there were lots of

0:04:09 > 0:04:14aspects about how much to pay back in the long run and it is a really

0:04:14 > 0:04:19scary prof act.-- Prospect. The government still backs the idea that

0:04:19 > 0:04:22students should contribute towards the cost of the higher education and

0:04:22 > 0:04:26it is one area covered by its of student finance, coming as it is one

0:04:26 > 0:04:29area covered by its major review of student finance, coming as the

0:04:29 > 0:04:33committee says current interest rates on loans of up to 6.1% are

0:04:33 > 0:04:35questionable. With students in England to Kimi letting more than

0:04:35 > 0:04:39£5,000 in charges while they are still studying. The average depth of

0:04:39 > 0:04:42graduates totalling more than £50,000.They need to look at grants

0:04:42 > 0:04:46available to help poorer students, look at the level of interest that

0:04:46 > 0:04:49is currently being applied to student loans than they need to

0:04:49 > 0:04:52rebuild public trust and confidence in the fairness of the system by

0:04:52 > 0:04:55ironing out some of these real injustices in the way that the

0:04:55 > 0:05:01system works.Education Secretary Damien Hinds says there are due to

0:05:01 > 0:05:04review would consider extra subsidies for expensive subjects

0:05:04 > 0:05:07like science and engineering and could make it easier to universities

0:05:07 > 0:05:11to lower the cost of courses offered by their departments. The threshold

0:05:11 > 0:05:14for repayment would also be considered, as will the length of

0:05:14 > 0:05:18time before loans are written off. But with the outstanding amount due

0:05:18 > 0:05:23to hit £160 billion by 2021, Labor argues the system is unsustainable.

0:05:23 > 0:05:26Some of the survivors of Wednesday's school shooting in Florida have

0:05:26 > 0:05:30taken part in a rally to demand tighter gun controls in the US.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Thousands of people gathered outside the court building

0:05:32 > 0:05:35in Fort Lauderdale, a short distance from the school where a former

0:05:35 > 0:05:37student killed 17 people.

0:05:37 > 0:05:42Laura Westbrook reports.

0:05:42 > 0:05:44CHANTING:No more!

0:05:44 > 0:05:47Outside the Federal Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale,

0:05:47 > 0:05:52this was the message to lawmakers.

0:05:52 > 0:05:53Among the protesters was Emma Gonzales,

0:05:53 > 0:05:57who took cover on the floor of her school's auditorium

0:05:57 > 0:05:59as a gunman started shooting.

0:05:59 > 0:06:03She had this to say to Donald Trump.

0:06:03 > 0:06:07If the President wants to come up to me and tell me to my face

0:06:07 > 0:06:10that it was a terrible tragedy and how it should never have

0:06:10 > 0:06:14happened and maintain telling us how nothing is going to be done

0:06:14 > 0:06:16about it, I will happily ask him how

0:06:16 > 0:06:21much money he received from the National Rifle Association.

0:06:21 > 0:06:23What she's referring to is the millions of dollars

0:06:23 > 0:06:26the NRA has given towards the Trump campaign.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29On a visit to the hospital where the victims of the attack

0:06:29 > 0:06:31are being treated, the President once again made

0:06:31 > 0:06:36no mention of guns or gun control.

0:06:36 > 0:06:44Instead, he says the problem is mental illness.

0:06:45 > 0:06:48When somebody infringes a rightful presence in this company to keep and

0:06:48 > 0:06:52Bear Arms than it is a violation of our civil liberties and we have a

0:06:52 > 0:06:57bigger problem.We will be spending our time at funeral.After yet

0:06:57 > 0:07:01another school shooting, anger among the younger generation is rising. In

0:07:01 > 0:07:05fact, students across the country are planning a mass walkout of

0:07:05 > 0:07:09schools in April. The anniversary of the Columbine high school massacre

0:07:09 > 0:07:14will stop they are demanding adults listen to them and tighten the gun

0:07:14 > 0:07:19control.

0:07:23 > 0:07:26control. President Trump has criticised the FBI is failing to

0:07:26 > 0:07:28stop the shoot. In a tweet, he says:

0:07:33 > 0:07:36Israel says it's carried out heavy air strikes on Hamas targets

0:07:36 > 0:07:37in the Gaza strip.

0:07:37 > 0:07:41The military says it targeted 18 sites used by the Palestinian group,

0:07:41 > 0:07:47including an arms factory.

0:07:47 > 0:07:50They say it's in response to a bomb attack near the border which injured

0:07:50 > 0:07:51four Israeli soldiers.

0:07:51 > 0:07:55Doctors in Gaza say two Palestinians were injured and three are missing.

0:07:55 > 0:07:57Nearly 200 British women from the stage, film,

0:07:57 > 0:08:00and TV have launched a fund ahead of tonight's BAFTAs,

0:08:00 > 0:08:05demanding the eradication of sexual harassment.

0:08:05 > 0:08:07Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson

0:08:07 > 0:08:11are three of the women who signed an open letter calling for the end

0:08:11 > 0:08:12of harassment and abuse.

0:08:12 > 0:08:15Emma Watson has donated one million pounds to the fund,

0:08:15 > 0:08:17and Keira Knightley and Tom Hiddleston have each

0:08:17 > 0:08:21given 10,000 pounds.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25Church spires are going to be used to help people in rural areas get

0:08:25 > 0:08:28better access to mobile networks, broadband and wifi services.

0:08:28 > 0:08:31A deal between the government and the Church of England aims

0:08:31 > 0:08:33to make it easier to put communication masts in spires

0:08:33 > 0:08:41and towers, as James Waterhouse explains.

0:08:41 > 0:08:44the church spire can often be the highest point of the village and

0:08:44 > 0:08:48given that the Church of England has more than 16,000 buildings of

0:08:48 > 0:08:51different kinds, government ministers are hoping this will give

0:08:51 > 0:08:54the perfect infrastructure to help more parts of the UK get better

0:08:54 > 0:09:00signal. They say this deal will make it better for Vickers to get this

0:09:00 > 0:09:04technology installed and there is cash to be made.The rental is

0:09:04 > 0:09:10typically between five and £10,000. Which can be equivalent or more to a

0:09:10 > 0:09:15normal income for a church for one year.Conservationists are not like

0:09:15 > 0:09:19the idea of a mobile phone mast being bolted onto their local church

0:09:19 > 0:09:22however the government argues in many cases the technology can be

0:09:22 > 0:09:26hidden within the spire. They will be rolled out over the next five

0:09:26 > 0:09:30years and both parties will be hoping this signals that of foreign

0:09:30 > 0:09:33coverage and internet for more parts of the UK. James Waterhouse, BBC

0:10:20 > 0:10:22Yarnold went into her final slide in second place,

0:10:22 > 0:10:24but conjured an imperious display,

0:10:24 > 0:10:27and the fastest time any woman has produced on this track

0:10:27 > 0:10:30to enter sporting folklore.

0:10:30 > 0:10:35COMMENTATOR:That is a gold medal-winning run, I am sure of it!

0:10:50 > 0:10:52their nation has ever seen at a Winter Games.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55As Yarnold jumped into the crowd to join the celebrations,

0:10:55 > 0:10:56how did she feel?

0:10:56 > 0:10:58I feel exhausted!

0:10:58 > 0:11:00Now a back-to-back champion,

0:11:00 > 0:11:04the 29-year-old couldn't hide her delight.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06I'm just so relieved that I've done the race,

0:11:18 > 0:11:21here today - and we have a bronze medal as well through Laura -

0:11:21 > 0:11:23is just absolutely mind-boggling.

0:11:23 > 0:11:27The success story was started by the youngest member of Team GB,

0:12:30 > 0:12:33sealing those medal places for Lizzy Yarnold and Laura Deas.

0:12:33 > 0:12:37There were pens flying around, microphone cables flying around, all

0:12:37 > 0:12:44over the place, and, Gett. They were effectively celebrating someone

0:12:44 > 0:12:47coming fourth in not being terribly well which benefited the British

0:12:47 > 0:12:51competitor but that is what they were celebrating. It will speak to

0:13:17 > 0:13:25Cheryl Cole, who splits torque smoothly, they are ready to end it,

0:13:25 > 0:13:30they are on the rocks, says the sun on Sunday. The Mail on Sunday, lead

0:13:30 > 0:13:34story for us as well, allegations of sexual harassment against the

0:13:34 > 0:13:40husband of the late MP Jo Cox. It has been explaining his side of the

0:13:40 > 0:13:43story in the Mail on Sunday. He apologises to his previous

0:13:43 > 0:13:49behaviour. And taking a look at the Sunday Times which can be a big news

0:13:49 > 0:13:54story, politically, as the day develop stash might students to get

0:13:54 > 0:13:56cheaper places at university according to the Sunday Times, the

0:13:56 > 0:14:01interview the new education Secretary Damian Hines, he will be

0:14:01 > 0:14:06on the Andrew Marsh show on BBC One in a couple of hours. The big

0:14:06 > 0:14:09question about what happens to university tuition fees in England

0:14:09 > 0:14:13with Labor promising to get rid of them and the government saying it

0:14:13 > 0:14:17will look at the whole way in which they are charged and the interest

0:14:17 > 0:14:21rates and the period over which people are asked to pay them back.

0:14:21 > 0:14:25Given that you normally hide out in Westminster he would not all about

0:14:25 > 0:14:28this, more on the claims of connections between senior members

0:14:28 > 0:14:34of the Labour Party and certain secret agents back in the 1980s, and

0:14:34 > 0:14:38the Sunday Telegraph said the Livingston, John McDonnell and

0:14:38 > 0:14:41Jeremy Corbyn were part of a group of at least 15 senior Labor figures

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Corbyn himself has denied having any kind of formal relationship with

0:14:52 > 0:14:57anyone who was known to be a spine. I think there are a few more

0:17:40 > 0:17:45next week, the wind direction is changing, coming in from the east.

0:17:45 > 0:17:53Blue colours with a cold air mass on the way. Mild and murky. Things will

0:17:53 > 0:18:05turn more cold later on this week.I do not

0:18:05 > 0:18:07do not know where crisp has been living,

0:18:07 > 0:18:08do not know where crisp has been living, but we've had snowdrops for

0:18:08 > 0:18:21weeks!Yes. I guess it depends on way you why living.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24way you why living. -- where you are living. Now it is time for the film

0:18:24 > 0:18:29review.

0:18:31 > 0:18:34Hello, and a warm welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.

0:18:34 > 0:18:37To take us through this week's cinema releases is Jason Solomons.

0:18:37 > 0:18:43Good to have you with us, Jason.

0:18:43 > 0:18:44What have you been watching?

0:18:44 > 0:18:47This week we go to Sacramento, an ordinary town where Saoirse Ronan

0:18:47 > 0:18:50stars as Lady Bird, dreaming of romance and not

0:18:50 > 0:18:50serving coffee anymore.

0:18:50 > 0:18:53We go set sail on the oceans with Colin Firth single-handedly

0:18:53 > 0:18:56taking on the world in an around the world yacht race,

0:18:56 > 0:18:58starring as Donald Crowhurst in The Mercy.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01And there's more water, as Sally Hawkins stars in Guillermo

0:19:01 > 0:19:04del Toro's fishy fairy tale The Shape of Water,

0:19:04 > 0:19:12and an unlikely relationship with an aquatic alien.

0:19:12 > 0:19:14It is a very interesting week.

0:19:14 > 0:19:16Oh, I loved Lady Bird, I loved it!

0:19:16 > 0:19:17Well, I'm glad you did.

0:19:17 > 0:19:20Of all the films that are out this awards season,

0:19:20 > 0:19:23Lady Bird has given me more pause for thought than any

0:19:23 > 0:19:24of the other ones.

0:19:24 > 0:19:28I've seen it three times and it has taken that long for the subtleties

0:19:28 > 0:19:29and emotions to sweep over me.

0:19:29 > 0:19:37I think it's because it's a film told from Greta Gerwig's point

0:19:42 > 0:19:45of view, the writer and director, and it stars Saoirse Ronan.

0:19:45 > 0:19:46Women crew the film.

0:19:46 > 0:19:49I think it is a film told from a very fresh feminine perspective.

0:19:49 > 0:19:52It is a film we have seen hundreds of times before,

0:19:52 > 0:19:55a high school movie with cliques and drama and mothers and best

0:19:55 > 0:19:57friends and house parties and prom night.

0:19:57 > 0:20:05It is everything simple on the outside but inside it is

0:20:05 > 0:20:05sweet and beautiful.

0:20:05 > 0:20:08Really, it is about a mother and daughter relationship,

0:20:08 > 0:20:10between Lady Bird - that is her name, given

0:20:10 > 0:20:14to her by herself - her mum wants to call her Christine.

0:20:14 > 0:20:17The mum is played by Laurie Metcalf, who you remember from Roseanne

0:20:17 > 0:20:18all those years ago.

0:20:18 > 0:20:22She has not been on the big screen ever, really.

0:20:22 > 0:20:24She takes her opportunity brilliantly.

0:20:24 > 0:20:27Anyone who has been a daughter and had a mother, I think this film

0:20:27 > 0:20:29will resonate beautifully, movingly and hysterically.

0:20:29 > 0:20:32Here they are arguing, as they do throughout the entire

0:20:32 > 0:20:34film, about which college Christine - Lady Bird -

0:20:34 > 0:20:35should go to.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38I want to go where culture is, like New York.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40How did I raise such a snob?

0:20:40 > 0:20:42Or at least Connecticut or New Hampshire.

0:20:42 > 0:20:44You won't get into those schools anyway.

0:20:44 > 0:20:44Mom!

0:20:44 > 0:20:46You can't even pass your driver's test.

0:20:46 > 0:20:48Because you wouldn't let me practice enough!

0:20:48 > 0:20:51The way that you work, or the way that you don't work,

0:20:51 > 0:20:53you're not even worse state tuition, Christine.

0:20:53 > 0:20:54My name is Lady Bird!

0:20:54 > 0:20:56Well, actually, it's not and it's ridiculous.

0:20:56 > 0:20:59Call me Lady Bird, like you said you would.

0:20:59 > 0:21:02You should just go to City College, with your work ethic,

0:21:02 > 0:21:05go to City College, then to jail, and then back to City College.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Then maybe you'll learn to pull yourself up.

0:21:08 > 0:21:10We both laughed at that line, "then go to jail!"

0:21:10 > 0:21:11It is for anyone.

0:21:11 > 0:21:15I don't want to say it's a female film in some stereotypical way.

0:21:15 > 0:21:17I think lots of people will love it.

0:21:17 > 0:21:19And there's an interesting twist on the male characters,

0:21:19 > 0:21:21which I won't give away.

0:21:21 > 0:21:29It is so well observed, the writing.

0:21:32 > 0:21:34That is the thing about this film.

0:21:34 > 0:21:35Its charm accrues through its details.

0:21:35 > 0:21:38Its observations of small-town life, though it's not that small town,

0:21:38 > 0:21:40Sacramento is the capital of California, actually,

0:21:40 > 0:21:43but for Lady Bird it represents a prison that she wants

0:21:43 > 0:21:44to break out of.

0:21:44 > 0:21:47Here she is with Timothee Chalamet, who's Oscar nominated

0:21:47 > 0:21:50for Call Me By Your Name, and plays a pretentious pseudo-indie

0:21:50 > 0:21:52band rocker in this, who she falls for, of course.

0:21:52 > 0:21:57It builds up all the stuff we have seen before and gives it this very

0:21:57 > 0:21:58fresh, gentle, subtle and clever take.

0:21:58 > 0:22:00It breaks your heart quite often.

0:22:00 > 0:22:01It's about stuff that's not said.

0:22:01 > 0:22:03It's a film of noncommunication.

0:22:03 > 0:22:05All the frustration that her and her mum have,

0:22:05 > 0:22:08where her mother passively aggressively nags her and says,

0:22:08 > 0:22:10"Mmm, is that dress maybe too pink?"

0:22:10 > 0:22:13It's all that stuff that is left unsaid and never talked about.

0:22:13 > 0:22:17People I know who have seen the film have written to their mums and said,

0:22:17 > 0:22:20mum, I actually really love you, I'm sorry we don't say it enough.

0:22:20 > 0:22:23There are many Hollywood films about fathers and sons,

0:22:23 > 0:22:26they always climax with the dad saying "son, I love you."

0:22:26 > 0:22:28Well, this is the opposite of that.

0:22:28 > 0:22:31It starts with the mum and daughter saying "I love you",

0:22:31 > 0:22:34and then not doing it for the rest of the film until it

0:22:34 > 0:22:36breaks your heart at the end.

0:22:36 > 0:22:43I think it's divine, this film, absolutely gorgeous.

0:22:43 > 0:22:45It is a delight and Greta Gerwig's first, astonishing.

0:22:45 > 0:22:47Her first on her own.

0:22:47 > 0:22:49She is the fifth to be nominated for the Oscar.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53If you are a betting person, which around the Oscars I am,

0:22:53 > 0:22:56I would have a discreet flutter on Lady Bird taking Best Picture.

0:22:56 > 0:22:57It is small but perfectly formed.

0:22:57 > 0:22:59I'm with you entirely on that.

0:22:59 > 0:23:01What did you make of The Mercy?

0:23:01 > 0:23:02The Mercy stars Colin Firth.

0:23:02 > 0:23:06You remember all those years ago him emerging from the lake wet

0:23:06 > 0:23:07in Pride And Prejudice.

0:23:07 > 0:23:09In this one he gets a right old soaking.

0:23:09 > 0:23:13He plays Donald Crowhurst, an eccentric from Devon.

0:23:13 > 0:23:16He invented his old boat and is about to enter

0:23:16 > 0:23:20a round the world yacht race.

0:23:20 > 0:23:23He decides to do it on his own, although he has a happy marriage

0:23:23 > 0:23:26with Rachel Weisz and kids and he decides to do this

0:23:26 > 0:23:29in an Ealing-esque spirit of the little man taking

0:23:29 > 0:23:30on the world.

0:23:30 > 0:23:33So he's inventing it and getting sponsorship from a local car dealer

0:23:33 > 0:23:36played by Ken Stott and getting sponsorship from tinned soup firms

0:23:36 > 0:23:40and rum firms, and then he sets sail up off on his race and it becomes

0:23:40 > 0:23:41a totally different movie.

0:23:41 > 0:23:44It becomes profound and moving and mystical and perplexing.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Why is this man taking on this challenge?

0:23:46 > 0:23:51And then, I mean, it's a true life tale so I do not want to tell people

0:23:51 > 0:23:54what happens, even though they can look it up and find out,

0:23:54 > 0:23:55but what happens is extremely strange.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58The film struggles to take that on board.

0:23:58 > 0:24:01Meanwhile, Colin Firth does some of the best acting in years.

0:24:01 > 0:24:02He's really challenged by this.

0:24:02 > 0:24:04It might be something to do with the water.

0:24:04 > 0:24:12It brings the best out of Colin.

0:24:18 > 0:24:19Fascinating!

0:24:19 > 0:24:22I'm sensing it wasn't quite the film you expected it to be?

0:24:22 > 0:24:24It is a film of two halves.

0:24:24 > 0:24:25David Thewlis is good.

0:24:25 > 0:24:29Rachel Weisz does not have much to do apart from answer the phone

0:24:29 > 0:24:30and look worried a lot.

0:24:30 > 0:24:33But Colin Firth is tremendous, really, until he gets too wet

0:24:33 > 0:24:36and then the film gets bogged down in its own mysteries,

0:24:36 > 0:24:44but they are true mysteries.

0:24:47 > 0:24:49No one knows what happened in this movie.

0:24:49 > 0:24:57It drifts rather to a climax, to use a nautical phrase.

0:25:01 > 0:25:02We won't give anything away.

0:25:02 > 0:25:06The Shape Of Water, now this is a curious film and I mean this

0:25:06 > 0:25:07in a good way.

0:25:07 > 0:25:11I really enjoyed it, but you do get to the end and think,

0:25:11 > 0:25:13I'm not sure what it is about.

0:25:13 > 0:25:15I'll try to tell you what it's about.

0:25:15 > 0:25:18It is about Sally Hawkins who plays a mute cleaner called Elisa

0:25:18 > 0:25:21and she has a job in an American underground nuclear facility

0:25:21 > 0:25:24which I think peppered the US in the Cold War

0:25:24 > 0:25:25in the '50s and '60s.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27We're set just on the cusp of then.

0:25:27 > 0:25:30Then this creature is brought in, rather like the Roswell incident.

0:25:30 > 0:25:38They bring it in in a tank to do experiments.

0:25:39 > 0:25:42They suspect it can help them defeat the Russians somehow and win

0:25:42 > 0:25:43the space race.

0:25:43 > 0:25:43It's never clear.

0:25:43 > 0:25:47We don't know what it is, really, and they mistrust this creature

0:25:47 > 0:25:49entirely, except for one mute outside cleaner played

0:25:49 > 0:25:52by Sally Hawkins, who strikes up a strange relationship immediately

0:25:52 > 0:25:53with this creature in the tank.

0:25:53 > 0:25:54How was your trip?

0:25:54 > 0:25:55Fine.

0:25:55 > 0:25:56Just one moment, please.

0:25:56 > 0:25:57Security, who's security?

0:25:57 > 0:26:05I'm head of security.

0:26:15 > 0:26:23MOANING NOISE

0:26:38 > 0:26:46Get them out!

0:26:48 > 0:26:51There is Michael Shannon's agent Strickland glowering as only

0:26:51 > 0:26:52Michael Shannon can do.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55That clip gives the impression it is all foreboding and dangerous

0:26:55 > 0:26:58and scary, and actually a lot of it is not.

0:26:58 > 0:27:00It's an unbelievably beautiful film.

0:27:00 > 0:27:08The production design is extraordinary.

0:27:08 > 0:27:11Which is why it's got so many nominations at the Oscars

0:27:11 > 0:27:12and the BAFTAs, 12 and 13.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15Because it looks great - the design is good.

0:27:15 > 0:27:16The music is great and the cinematography.

0:27:16 > 0:27:19There is a lot of great stuff in it.

0:27:19 > 0:27:20I mean, there's a lot.

0:27:20 > 0:27:25I think there's too much in it.

0:27:25 > 0:27:26It is a busy film.

0:27:26 > 0:27:28It pastiches B-movies which the director Guillermo del

0:27:28 > 0:27:32Toro was watching as a kid and he thought, wouldn't it be nice

0:27:32 > 0:27:35if the girl and the creature get together, like they do

0:27:35 > 0:27:36in King Kong and Splash?

0:27:36 > 0:27:44And yet it is entirely unique of the director's vision.

0:27:51 > 0:27:54Any hint of cynicism will ruin the spell of the film.

0:27:54 > 0:27:56You have to watch it entirely spellbound,

0:27:56 > 0:27:57like Sally Hawkins does.

0:27:57 > 0:27:58And she's terrific in it.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01But if you enter with an outside thought you will say,

0:28:01 > 0:28:04this is a bit silly, I think someone is dancing

0:28:04 > 0:28:05with a fish.

0:28:05 > 0:28:13I know it will not be for some people.

0:28:19 > 0:28:19Very interesting.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22I think it's worth seeing in a curious way.

0:28:22 > 0:28:25We have not managed to see Black Panther yet, much to my other

0:28:25 > 0:28:28half's disgust, but we are trying to get there!

0:28:28 > 0:28:29It is such an important movie.

0:28:29 > 0:28:32I have to mention it as the best film out there.

0:28:32 > 0:28:34I think it'll be huge, it is brilliant.

0:28:34 > 0:28:37For a Marvel movie it packs so much thought into it.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40It is about Wakanda, this African country whose borders

0:28:40 > 0:28:42have to be protected by the new king.

0:28:42 > 0:28:44People have compared it to the Lion King.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46If that's cute, this is the cool version.

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Everyone in it is fantastic.

0:28:48 > 0:28:49Culturally, it has an all-black cast.

0:28:49 > 0:28:51So that's an important thing.

0:28:51 > 0:28:53It's a black blockbuster, which there's never been before.

0:28:53 > 0:28:55But watching it you forget connotations of race.

0:28:55 > 0:28:59You are just watching a movie which transcends race which I think

0:28:59 > 0:29:06is so important about it.

0:29:08 > 0:29:12And everyone in it is amazingly hot and sexy so Wakanda was the hottest

0:29:12 > 0:29:13place in the Marvel universe.

0:29:13 > 0:29:16Michael B Jordan takes his top off and everyone was swooning.

0:29:16 > 0:29:18Colin Firth has nothing on him!

0:29:18 > 0:29:18That's saying something!

0:29:18 > 0:29:20And a quick mention of a DVD?

0:29:20 > 0:29:23A strange film that went under the radar -

0:29:23 > 0:29:25Most Beautiful Island.

0:29:25 > 0:29:28It's a mystery set in New York and is about immigrant cleaners

0:29:28 > 0:29:31and au pairs who work in New York, the black economy.

0:29:31 > 0:29:39It's the nether world they can get sucked into it,

0:29:39 > 0:29:40the sex world.

0:29:40 > 0:29:44It is made by Ana Asensio who stars in it and directs it.

0:29:44 > 0:29:45I thought it was fantastic.

0:29:45 > 0:29:46The little details seeping in.

0:29:46 > 0:29:49A fresh new indie film that I can recommend,

0:29:49 > 0:29:51because you have never seen it before.

0:29:51 > 0:29:52Jason, thank you very much indeed.

0:29:52 > 0:29:54A really, really interesting week.

0:29:54 > 0:29:55Thanks for being with us.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Enjoy your cinema going, whichever of those interesting films

0:29:58 > 0:29:59you decide to take on this weekend.

0:29:59 > 0:30:07Thanks for being with us, bye-bye.

0:30:16 > 0:30:19Hello, this is Breakfast with Chris Mason and Rachel Burden.

0:30:19 > 0:30:20Good morning.

0:30:20 > 0:30:23Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

0:30:23 > 0:30:27The husband of murdered MP Jo Cox has resigned from two charities

0:30:27 > 0:30:29he set up in her memory after allegations of sexual

0:30:29 > 0:30:32harassment were made public.

0:30:32 > 0:30:35Mr Cox denies assaulting a woman at Harvard University in 2015,

0:30:35 > 0:30:37but admits to "inappropriate" behaviour while working

0:30:37 > 0:30:38for Save the Children.

0:30:38 > 0:30:41He has left posts at More in Common and the Jo Cox Foundation

0:30:41 > 0:30:48after the Mail on Sunday published the claims.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51The new education secretary, Damian Hinds says he wants more

0:30:51 > 0:30:53variety in university tuition fees ahead of an England-wide review

0:30:53 > 0:30:56into university funding.

0:30:56 > 0:30:59In an interview with the Sunday Times, he also said

0:30:59 > 0:31:01the income threshold for repayment would be considered,

0:31:01 > 0:31:05as well as the length of time before loans are written off.

0:31:05 > 0:31:07It comes on the same day the Treasury Committee called

0:31:07 > 0:31:14the interest rates on loans unjustifiable.

0:31:14 > 0:31:17Some of the survivors of Wednesday's school shooting in Florida have

0:31:17 > 0:31:21taken part in a rally to demand tighter gun controls in the US.

0:31:21 > 0:31:23Thousands of people gathered in Fort Lauderdale, near the school

0:31:23 > 0:31:25where a former student killed 17 people.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29In a tweet, President Trump blamed the FBI for failing to stop

0:31:29 > 0:31:32the shooter because they were too busy trying to prove collusion

0:31:32 > 0:31:40between his electoral campaign team and Russia.

0:31:43 > 0:31:47One survivor of the shooting criticised Mr Trump's links to

0:31:47 > 0:31:52America's gun lobby.If the President wants to come up to me and

0:31:52 > 0:31:56tell me to my face that it was a terrible tragedy and how it should

0:31:56 > 0:32:00never have happened and maintain telling us how nothing is going to

0:32:00 > 0:32:03be done about it, I'm going to happily ask him how much money he

0:32:03 > 0:32:06received from the National Rifle Association.(CHEERING AND

0:32:06 > 0:32:07APPLAUSE).

0:32:07 > 0:32:09Israel says it's carried out heavy airstrikes on Hamas targets

0:32:09 > 0:32:10in the Gaza strip.

0:32:10 > 0:32:14The military says it targeted 18 sites used by the Palestinian group,

0:32:14 > 0:32:15including an arms factory.

0:32:15 > 0:32:19They say it's in response to a bomb attack near the border which injured

0:32:19 > 0:32:19four Israeli soldiers.

0:32:19 > 0:32:25Doctors in Gaza say two Palestinians were injured and three are missing.

0:32:25 > 0:32:27Nearly 200 British women from the stage, film,

0:32:27 > 0:32:30and TV have launched a fund ahead of tonight's BAFTAs,

0:32:30 > 0:32:31demanding the eradication of sexual harassment.

0:32:31 > 0:32:34Dame Kristin Scott Thomas, Kate Winslet and Emma Thompson

0:32:34 > 0:32:37are three of the women who signed an open letter calling for the end

0:32:37 > 0:32:39of harassment and abuse.

0:32:39 > 0:32:41Emma Watson has donated one million pounds to the fund,

0:32:41 > 0:32:43and Keira Knightley and Tom Hiddleston have each

0:32:43 > 0:32:51given 10,000 pounds.

0:32:54 > 0:32:59Church spires and towers are to be used to boost mobile phone and

0:32:59 > 0:33:02broadband connectivity in rural areas. The Church of England would

0:33:02 > 0:33:05benefit by charging rent for the space, the government says the

0:33:05 > 0:33:09equipment would usually be installed inside the spire so it wouldn't harm

0:33:09 > 0:33:15the look of the building.

0:33:15 > 0:33:19Now, time for a little sport and this is a secret, in the studio we

0:33:19 > 0:33:23have on one of our screens the curling as part of the Winter

0:33:23 > 0:33:27Olympics. So it is a very little corner of my eye keeping an eye on

0:33:27 > 0:33:31but constantly. Our women are involved at the moment. They are, we

0:33:31 > 0:33:37will go to that in a moment, they are taking on Sweden, Britain's

0:33:37 > 0:33:42curlers, that we have just missed out on a medal, became really close.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46The ski slopestyle, James Woods just finished fourth, 1.4 points away

0:33:46 > 0:33:51from the parity. We always knew the competition was going to be tough.

0:33:51 > 0:33:55It was. He was in the bronze in opposition the sometime, just didn't

0:33:55 > 0:34:00quite get it right on one of the key sections, the rails section, but he

0:34:00 > 0:34:01came very close.

0:34:01 > 0:34:04So James Woods just missed out on that bronze medal.

0:34:04 > 0:34:06After yesterday's bronze for Britain's Izzy Atkin

0:34:06 > 0:34:08in the womens slopestyle, hopes were high for another podium

0:34:08 > 0:34:11finish in the men's event, and we nearly had it.

0:34:11 > 0:34:13This was how James just missed out.

0:34:13 > 0:34:15The Sheffield skier was in the bronze medal position

0:34:15 > 0:34:21after two of the three runs but he couldn't better that

0:34:21 > 0:34:24in his final effort and was eventually overtaken meaning

0:34:24 > 0:34:29he finished in an agonising fourth place.

0:34:30 > 0:34:33Result wise, amazing. Performance wise, you cannot engineer

0:34:33 > 0:34:40perfection. I did the run three times in a row and that is meagre,

0:34:40 > 0:34:44seriously make up. If everyone had been perfect it would have been last

0:34:44 > 0:34:48place one or two people had slipped up, we would have been on top. --

0:34:48 > 0:34:55mega. That is the game of perfection.He did Linsley. -- he

0:34:55 > 0:34:56did brilliantly.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00It was a tough start for Team GB's womens curlers but they have fought

0:35:00 > 0:35:01back against Sweden.

0:35:01 > 0:35:03It's the sixth match of the round robin.

0:35:03 > 0:35:05The Swedish are top of the table and unbeaten.

0:35:05 > 0:35:07GB are currently fourth.

0:35:07 > 0:35:12As you can see, it is 3-3, is it? Look up and I on that. --

0:35:12 > 0:35:16We will keep an eye on that through out the morning.

0:35:16 > 0:35:20it is a game that Britain probably need to win to give themselves the

0:35:20 > 0:35:23best chance of making the semifinals. You can still get

0:35:23 > 0:35:28through but let's hope they can do it in this match against Sweden. We

0:35:28 > 0:35:31will keep you fully up-to-date with that through the morning.

0:35:31 > 0:35:33This time yesterday, we were talking about Izzy Atkin

0:35:33 > 0:35:35winning a bronze in ski slopestyle.

0:35:35 > 0:35:39The day went on to become Team GB's most successful ever at a Winter

0:35:39 > 0:35:39Games.

0:35:39 > 0:35:41Lizzy Yarnold became Britain's most decorated Winter Olympian

0:35:41 > 0:35:43after retaining her skeleton title.

0:35:43 > 0:35:46She went into the fourth and final run behind the leader but produced

0:35:46 > 0:35:48a track record to take the gold medal.

0:35:48 > 0:35:52She's the first Briton to retain a Winter Games title and her fellow

0:35:52 > 0:35:56Brit Laura Deas took the bronze to make it three medals in a day

0:35:56 > 0:36:02for Great Britain.

0:36:02 > 0:36:07I was absolutely terrified through all four runs. I just wanted them

0:36:07 > 0:36:12over. This is an awful thing to say? I wanted her to get to the end and

0:36:12 > 0:36:16be safe and be fast. Lizzie is amazing under pressure. Look what

0:36:16 > 0:36:20she have done. She said she would come and do this for our country,

0:36:20 > 0:36:21and she is.

0:36:21 > 0:36:24There was a controversial VAR decision in the FA Cup yesterday

0:36:24 > 0:36:27but it didn't prevent Manchester United booking

0:36:27 > 0:36:27their place in the quarterfinals.

0:36:27 > 0:36:35Southampton and Brighton are also through, as Drew Savage reports.

0:36:35 > 0:36:40So, if this off side or isn't it? Have your sister at the rear was

0:36:40 > 0:36:44supposed to bring clarity in such situations but it hasn't provided

0:36:44 > 0:36:50answers or more questions. COMMENTATOR: Young. Matai. He is off

0:36:50 > 0:36:56side and has made it 2-0.Or had he, the assistant referee flagged down

0:36:56 > 0:37:00but did the video is this the river rethink? For a lengthy wait Kevin

0:37:00 > 0:37:04friend ruled that he had been off side, his goal disallowed. Then the

0:37:04 > 0:37:08debate over the television pictures began. Was the yellow line straight

0:37:08 > 0:37:12or even at right angles across the pitch? Whatever your point of view

0:37:12 > 0:37:17it didn't affect the outcome of the match.Sanchez, a fabulous all,

0:37:17 > 0:37:21Lukaku right through here, can he get the shot in, he can. Lukaku has

0:37:21 > 0:37:28his.Manchester United second. The answer is most wanted to hear after

0:37:28 > 0:37:31the final whistle were not about the football.This video assistant

0:37:31 > 0:37:36referee from my point of view maybe I am to traditional but it killed

0:37:36 > 0:37:39the emotion of the game in these situations and this is why I don't

0:37:39 > 0:37:45like it.What the VAR is bringing good and bad, they have to kill the

0:37:45 > 0:37:50bad. Make it, make it perfect. Because everyone much loved the game

0:37:50 > 0:37:56I think what's the truth.Or the no controversy after Brighton reach

0:37:56 > 0:38:03their first final for 32 years after a 3-1 win over Coventry, a goal from

0:38:03 > 0:38:06their record signing, 35 years since they took Manchester United to an FA

0:38:06 > 0:38:11Cup final replay, this year they will meet them in the last eight.

0:38:11 > 0:38:14Speaking of replays, Sheffield Wednesday will need a second go to

0:38:14 > 0:38:17decide whether they all Premier League Swansea will face the winner

0:38:17 > 0:38:19of Rochdale versus Spurs, played later today, and the controversial

0:38:19 > 0:38:28wit of the peace West Brom finish with 2-1 defeat. The Saints were two

0:38:28 > 0:38:32up, then a wonder goal gave Albion hope. They had a replay of their

0:38:32 > 0:38:36own, Southampton will fly out on Monday night, they trundled to

0:38:36 > 0:38:39Manchester City or Wigan in the quarter-finals.

0:38:39 > 0:38:40George Groves successfully defended his WBA Super middleweight

0:38:40 > 0:38:43title with a win over Chris Eubank Junior in Manchester.

0:38:43 > 0:38:46The British world title bout went all 12 rounds,

0:38:46 > 0:38:48with Groves boxing clever to withstand the challenge

0:38:48 > 0:38:49from Eubank Junior.

0:38:49 > 0:38:51The victory was unanimous and also means Groves

0:38:51 > 0:38:59is through to the World Boxing Super Series final.

0:39:01 > 0:39:04England's cricketers are in action in New Zealand at the moment.

0:39:04 > 0:39:07Despite losing all their matches, a win here could mean they face

0:39:07 > 0:39:08Australia in the final.

0:39:08 > 0:39:11They're likely to need to win by around 20 runs

0:39:11 > 0:39:12to reach the final.

0:39:12 > 0:39:14It's been mixed so far from England.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17Jason Roy hit a rapid 21 before gifting a simple catch

0:39:17 > 0:39:22to the New Zealand skipper Kane Williamson.

0:39:22 > 0:39:24The latest from Hamilton -

0:39:24 > 0:39:31England are 71/2 after 9 overs.

0:39:31 > 0:39:37In the balance, that is, and they probably haven't need to win by 20

0:39:37 > 0:39:41runs, the average runs scored over basically the over the tournament.

0:39:41 > 0:39:45It is good having stuff happening all over the world involving our

0:39:45 > 0:39:48athletes, isn't it? Of one description or another, we are just

0:39:48 > 0:39:54sitting on the sofa. You will talk to you later. This is another legend

0:39:54 > 0:39:57of the Winter Olympics of the past.

0:39:57 > 0:40:00One of the most hotly-tipped films for tonight's BAFTA awards is I,

0:40:00 > 0:40:03Tonya, based on events linked to the Winter Olympics of 1994.

0:40:03 > 0:40:05It's a biopic about the American figure skater

0:40:05 > 0:40:08Tonya Harding, who became notorious for her link to an attack

0:40:08 > 0:40:09on a fellow competitor.

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Margot Robbie plays the disgraced Tonya,

0:40:11 > 0:40:12and Allison Janney her mother.

0:40:12 > 0:40:16Our arts editor Will Gompertz has been to meet them.

0:40:16 > 0:40:19I was the best figure skater in the world at one

0:40:19 > 0:40:20point in time.

0:40:20 > 0:40:204.8.

0:40:20 > 0:40:22How do I get a fair shot here?

0:40:22 > 0:40:24It wasn't about telling the Tonya Harding story.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28The haters always say, "Tonya, tell the truth."

0:40:28 > 0:40:30REPORTER:Tonya, how do you feel...?

0:40:30 > 0:40:33TYRES SQUEAL.

0:40:33 > 0:40:35Everyone has their own truth.

0:40:35 > 0:40:37There's the whole, you know, conversation around truth.

0:40:37 > 0:40:40We have all these unreliable narrators telling completely

0:40:40 > 0:40:42contradictory versions of the exact same event.

0:40:42 > 0:40:43I mean, come on!

0:40:43 > 0:40:46What kind of friggin' person bashes in their friend's knee?

0:40:46 > 0:40:49Who would do that?

0:40:49 > 0:40:54The juxtaposition of everyone's different point of view and story

0:40:54 > 0:40:58is where the dark comedy comes in, where you see my character throw

0:40:58 > 0:41:01a knife at Tonya and then you cut to me saying,

0:41:01 > 0:41:04"You know, what family doesn't have their ups and downs?"

0:41:04 > 0:41:07I didn't stay home making apple Brown Bettys.

0:41:07 > 0:41:07No.

0:41:07 > 0:41:08I made you a champion!

0:41:08 > 0:41:10Knowing you'd hate me for it!

0:41:10 > 0:41:12That's the sacrifice a mother makes!

0:41:12 > 0:41:15I wish I had a mother like me instead of nice!

0:41:15 > 0:41:17You cursed me.

0:41:17 > 0:41:20In the movie, you assault your daughter on more than one occasion

0:41:20 > 0:41:25and yet, her mother in real life denies it happening.

0:41:25 > 0:41:27I told her side of the story very well.

0:41:27 > 0:41:31I think I - I understood I had to make her a three-dimensional

0:41:31 > 0:41:31character.

0:41:31 > 0:41:32She wasn't just a monster.

0:41:32 > 0:41:34How old are you, honey?

0:41:34 > 0:41:39She's a soft four.

0:41:39 > 0:41:42Having been a figure skater myself, I know how expensive it is to have

0:41:42 > 0:41:45custom skates and have the skating costumes.

0:41:45 > 0:41:50I know what it took for my parents to get up at 5:00 in the morning

0:41:50 > 0:41:53and to take me to the rink before school in the morning

0:41:53 > 0:41:54and after school.

0:41:54 > 0:41:58So I - I knew - I felt like I could tell her side

0:41:58 > 0:41:58of the story.

0:41:58 > 0:42:01What can you tell us about Tonya Harding?

0:42:01 > 0:42:03Hmm, I don't know a Tony Harding.

0:42:03 > 0:42:06Aren't you her bodyguard?

0:42:06 > 0:42:10As a young producer and actor in the business, do you think

0:42:10 > 0:42:16the game is still rigged against women?

0:42:16 > 0:42:18There's far more female-driven content, female-led films now

0:42:18 > 0:42:21than even when I started - and I haven't even been doing

0:42:21 > 0:42:23it this long.

0:42:23 > 0:42:26I think the next step is having female storytellers tell those

0:42:26 > 0:42:30stories and that's the change that I can see happening right now.

0:42:30 > 0:42:32Everyone is really making a conscious effort and I think

0:42:32 > 0:42:36we will see the, you know, the result of that over the next

0:42:36 > 0:42:37couple of years.

0:42:37 > 0:42:38But still, is it enough?

0:42:38 > 0:42:38No.

0:42:38 > 0:42:42We still have - the statistics are so imbalanced, I think it's

0:42:42 > 0:42:43going to take a while.

0:42:43 > 0:42:47But, yeah...

0:42:47 > 0:42:48Such an extraordinary story.

0:42:48 > 0:42:51That was our arts editor Will Gompertz talking to actors

0:42:51 > 0:42:54Margot Robbie and Allison Janney about BAFTA nominated film,

0:42:54 > 0:42:54I, Tonya.

0:42:54 > 0:42:56They brought us Ikea and Scandi-noir, and now

0:42:56 > 0:43:02a new Swedish fitness craze has reached British shores.

0:43:02 > 0:43:04'Plogging' or picking litter while jogging has gaining momentum

0:43:04 > 0:43:12in the UK, as Greg Dawson reports.

0:43:15 > 0:43:19In many ways, it looks like any other week and fitness routine. You

0:43:19 > 0:43:26will need a pair of these. A warmup will help. It is February. But don't

0:43:26 > 0:43:34forget to pick up one of these. And maybe this will come in handy too. ,

0:43:34 > 0:43:38all plucking and dropping first gained popularity in Sweden but has

0:43:38 > 0:43:41quickly caught on around the world from the beaches of Australia to the

0:43:41 > 0:43:49pavement of India and here in the parts of south-east London.I like

0:43:49 > 0:43:53running, I like doing something in the community, like finding places I

0:43:53 > 0:43:57didn't know existed, like I didn't know this park was here even though

0:43:57 > 0:44:01I live in the area I have never been here before the think it does two

0:44:01 > 0:44:04things that helped me get fit a company under more about where I

0:44:04 > 0:44:09live in but I enjoy.Ivor Gormley is the founder of good gym which runs

0:44:09 > 0:44:12plogging sessions and other activities across the UK.We have

0:44:12 > 0:44:16been getting hundreds of new people signing up every time you go for a

0:44:16 > 0:44:20run you go for a run up unlikely to pass by somewhere where there isn't

0:44:20 > 0:44:24things going on, house of someone who is isolated and lonely every

0:44:24 > 0:44:28time you were running through your community there are things that need

0:44:28 > 0:44:31doing and actually you can combine it with your exercise.This is about

0:44:31 > 0:44:36fun more than running though, as we no a lot of our litter and up in the

0:44:36 > 0:44:40waterways which means that the ploggers end up in wages. It isn't

0:44:40 > 0:44:46just about the climate of the public purse, clearing the cost authorities

0:44:46 > 0:44:50more than £700 million a year in England alone. This local level

0:44:50 > 0:44:52volunteering coincides with a growing momentum nationally to cut

0:44:52 > 0:44:58waste. Following the popularity of the BBC 's blue planet series which

0:44:58 > 0:45:02highlighted the damage plastic is causing to our oceans, the Scottish

0:45:02 > 0:45:06Parliament announced plans to ban plastic straws. And the Royal family

0:45:06 > 0:45:09has even backed efforts to reduce it will use plastic on Britain 's Royal

0:45:09 > 0:45:15Estates. Is it ever frustrate you when you litter picking, you see the

0:45:15 > 0:45:19state of some of the Parks and waterways?It is a bit frustrating

0:45:19 > 0:45:23but especially because this is my local park. I live around the

0:45:23 > 0:45:27corner. But it is good that so many people are willing to give up their

0:45:27 > 0:45:31Saturday mornings to clean up parks and rivers and... To get involved.

0:45:31 > 0:45:35It involved in the community. With that sense of making a small

0:45:35 > 0:45:39difference to a bigger problem, plogging offers much more than just

0:45:39 > 0:45:44a strenuous workout. Greg Dawson, BBC News, south-east London.

0:45:44 > 0:45:51It would be quite good for your biceps as well because by the Tony

0:45:51 > 0:45:56get only have two big bin bags. You would never Lukas Webb if your park

0:45:56 > 0:46:00was full of litter.

0:46:05 > 0:46:10I am not sure about the weather for running.

0:46:10 > 0:46:12I am not sure about the weather for running.It was glorious yesterday.

0:46:12 > 0:46:20Sunshine. Sunshine towards the east. Further west, cloud rolling in. The

0:46:20 > 0:46:25north and east of the country, clear skies overnight stop in northern

0:46:25 > 0:46:30Scotland, seems like this. The Northern Lights. This was taken from

0:46:30 > 0:46:37the Shetland Isles. Today, clear skies in the north and east for a

0:46:37 > 0:46:42time. Largely dry. Later on, cloud thickening and rain moving to the

0:46:42 > 0:46:48west. Cloud moving in from the Atlantic. Clear skies in the central

0:46:48 > 0:46:54and eastern parts of the country. Today, the weather front pushes in.

0:46:54 > 0:46:58A warm front bringing mild conditions. High pressure ahead of

0:46:58 > 0:47:04that. Rain pushing into Northern Ireland. Eventually into the west of

0:47:04 > 0:47:09England and Wales and Scotland. Much of the country, dry weather. The

0:47:09 > 0:47:14best of the sunshine in eastern Scotland to eastern England. The

0:47:14 > 0:47:21mist and fog should lift. Staying grey. Temperatures are still on the

0:47:21 > 0:47:26mild side. The evening hours. The rain initially in the west goes

0:47:26 > 0:47:34east. England and Wales, cloud, patchy and light outbreaks of rain.

0:47:34 > 0:47:41Not as cold tomorrow. Monday, we have the warm front with us sitting

0:47:41 > 0:47:44in central and eastern parts of the country. Bringing mild air. You can

0:47:44 > 0:47:54see the yellows. Still a mild day on Monday. Mild and murky. A cloudy

0:47:54 > 0:48:00day. As the weather front stalls in the east, a bit of rain for eastern

0:48:00 > 0:48:03Scotland, eastern England, and further west across the country, a

0:48:03 > 0:48:08better day. Brightness breaking through. Temperatures up to 12,

0:48:08 > 0:48:15possibly 13 degrees. Tuesday's weather. A weather front hanging on

0:48:15 > 0:48:22in the east of England. Much of the country, not a bad day. Sunshine

0:48:25 > 0:48:28England through Tuesday. Temperatures starting to dip down,

0:48:28 > 0:48:34especially towards the east. A sign of things to come through the week.

0:48:34 > 0:48:38Drawing in this easterly wind. Cold air is on the way from Scandinavia

0:48:38 > 0:48:46and Siberia. A change in the weather through the week ahead. Quite a mild

0:48:46 > 0:48:50and murky start to the week. Things will get more cold. Do not get rid

0:48:50 > 0:48:56of the winter layers just yet. Mostly dry with sunshine. Back to

0:48:56 > 0:48:57you.Thank you

0:48:57 > 0:49:02Mostly dry with sunshine. Back to you.Thank you so much.I love a

0:49:02 > 0:49:06little bit of sunshine. We will be back with the headlines at seven.

0:49:06 > 0:49:11Now it is time for The Travel Show.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13This week on The Travel Show...

0:49:13 > 0:49:16Seeing Africa by train.

0:49:16 > 0:49:18We witnessed seven lions that were chasing a zebra.

0:49:18 > 0:49:20It was like a movie!

0:49:20 > 0:49:27And this was real.

0:49:40 > 0:49:40DISTORTED SINGING

0:49:40 > 0:49:42And rocking the mike underwater in Denmark.

0:49:42 > 0:49:47Making music, whoo-hoo!

0:49:47 > 0:49:50We're starting this week in Africa on a train line that passes

0:49:50 > 0:49:52through some of the continent's wildest landscape.

0:49:52 > 0:49:55The Freedom Railway cuts through more than 18,000 kilometres

0:49:55 > 0:49:58of dense jungle, mountains and Savannah, as it winds its way

0:49:58 > 0:50:06from Dar es Salaam in Tanzania to Zambia's central province.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13But more than 40 years after it opened, it's now beginning

0:50:13 > 0:50:16to show its age and is overdue and major upgrade.

0:50:16 > 0:50:19We bought a ticket and went to find out what makes

0:50:19 > 0:50:27the journey so unique.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04And finally this week, I travel to Aalborg in Denmark.

0:54:04 > 0:54:12This is a country almost completely surrounded by water,

0:54:14 > 0:54:17no matter where you are you are never more than 50 kilometres

0:54:17 > 0:54:22from the coast.

0:54:22 > 0:54:27So it should come as no surprise that it was here that a local artist

0:54:27 > 0:54:30was inspired to combine music and water in a way that you have

0:54:30 > 0:54:31never heard before.

0:54:31 > 0:54:34This is the group Between Music, their latest show is

0:54:34 > 0:54:36the first in a four part series called Aquasonic,

0:54:36 > 0:54:38which explores who we are as human beings

0:54:38 > 0:54:46and it begins with our time in the womb.

0:54:58 > 0:55:00We are so often divided between you and me, them

0:55:00 > 0:55:02and us, different religions and different cultures,

0:55:02 > 0:55:05but this is something we all know something about.

0:55:05 > 0:55:07We have our first nine months covered by this water

0:55:07 > 0:55:10filter, so I think somehow the audience, I think

0:55:10 > 0:55:13they are on at least an unconscious level will have a flashback

0:55:13 > 0:55:21to hearing those sounds.

0:55:27 > 0:55:31So as performers, how does it feel when you are underwater performing

0:55:31 > 0:55:39to an audience?

0:55:52 > 0:55:55It gets really, somehow a sense of loneliness to it.

0:55:55 > 0:55:58There is not only a visual loneliness to see these humans

0:55:58 > 0:56:01in the tanks, but also the sound has a kind of loneliness to it,

0:56:01 > 0:56:04I think that is quite a nice idea.

0:56:04 > 0:56:04So, here goes.

0:56:04 > 0:56:07One deep breath and well, actually this is quite nice.

0:56:07 > 0:56:08You are doing good!

0:56:08 > 0:56:10It is lovely and warm.

0:56:10 > 0:56:10Yeah.

0:56:10 > 0:56:11This is great.

0:56:11 > 0:56:14So if you take this microphone that is hanging and then

0:56:14 > 0:56:16you hit this bell plate, you see the one?

0:56:16 > 0:56:17Yes, this one here?

0:56:17 > 0:56:17Yes.

0:56:17 > 0:56:20Then you take the microphone and put it towards it.

0:56:20 > 0:56:22Do you hear that effect?

0:56:22 > 0:56:24Then you can sort of play with it.

0:56:24 > 0:56:26Playing music in water has two sides.

0:56:26 > 0:56:28On one side it is terrifying because also

0:56:28 > 0:56:31when you are singing into the water you have to have water

0:56:31 > 0:56:35down your throat and if you open up you get the water in your lungs.

0:56:35 > 0:56:43So that's quite terrifying.

0:56:57 > 0:57:00So how on earth do you get musical insurance to play

0:57:00 > 0:57:01underwater?

0:57:01 > 0:57:05Well it took us 10-11 years to make this and how come it took so long?

0:57:05 > 0:57:08Because OK, it is something that you need to really research

0:57:08 > 0:57:10and when you see what other people have

0:57:10 > 0:57:12done and trying other instruments.

0:57:12 > 0:57:15Most instruments didn't sound really good, but we saw somehow a potential

0:57:15 > 0:57:15in this.

0:57:15 > 0:57:19But we also realised we had to build instruments to work in the water,

0:57:19 > 0:57:22so we found collaborators around the world to help us build

0:57:22 > 0:57:30instruments for this project.

0:57:30 > 0:57:34Back in Denmark I am beginning to think I am a bit of a natural.

0:57:34 > 0:57:37Maybe you should just pull the darbuka to the front window

0:57:37 > 0:57:40and if you hit it with a hammer you can close the sound

0:57:40 > 0:57:41with your hand.

0:57:41 > 0:57:45Another thing, if you take - there is a small stick on the top

0:57:45 > 0:57:46of the - yeah, exactly.

0:57:46 > 0:57:49And you can use that for the ring over there,

0:57:49 > 0:57:57with the holes in it.

0:58:07 > 0:58:08Oh OK.

0:58:08 > 0:58:09That's so cool!

0:58:09 > 0:58:11You're making music!

0:58:11 > 0:58:14It is amazing, you have these hammers - when you hit,

0:58:14 > 0:58:22it resonates and you can feel it in your body.

0:58:31 > 0:58:34It is a totally different experience than hanging a bell with a hammer.

0:58:34 > 0:58:37And when you have been out of order for

0:58:37 > 0:58:40a couple of weeks or months and when we go, we have to play

0:58:40 > 0:58:48somewhere and get in the tank, it feels like getting home again.

0:58:54 > 0:58:57Try to go down and then hit maybe number one

0:58:57 > 0:59:05and number three together.

0:59:19 > 0:59:21Underwater music, trickier than it appears and definitely one not

0:59:21 > 0:59:22to try at home.

0:59:22 > 0:59:25Unfortunately that's all we've got time for on this week's show.

0:59:25 > 0:59:26Coming up next week:

0:59:26 > 0:59:29With the Winter Olympics in full swing in South Korea,

0:59:29 > 0:59:33Carmen heads to Seoul for a taste of its street food culture.

0:59:33 > 0:59:36Let me tell you, it is pretty cold out here right now,

0:59:36 > 0:59:42it feels well below zero,

0:59:42 > 0:59:44And we are off to one of the toughest,

0:59:44 > 0:59:46wildest environments the UK has to offer.

0:59:46 > 0:59:49Jo Walley joins a tour which teaches you how to survive

0:59:49 > 0:59:51a night outdoors in Scotland's Cairngorm mountains.

0:59:51 > 0:59:55So I have been digging for a couple of hours now and the camera

0:59:55 > 0:59:58is finally starting to completely freeze over and I am also

0:59:58 > 0:59:59freezing over.

0:59:59 > 1:00:00Cheers everyone!

1:00:00 > 1:00:02So do join us then, if you can.

1:00:02 > 1:00:05In the meantime, don't forget you can catch up with us

1:00:05 > 1:00:08while we are out on the road in real-time by signing up

1:00:08 > 1:00:10to our social medai feeds.

1:00:10 > 1:00:11Details are on the screen now.

1:00:11 > 1:00:15From now, from me and the rest of the Travel Show team in Denmark,

1:00:15 > 1:00:18it is goodbye.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21Hello this is Breakfast, with Chris Mason, and Rachel Burden.

1:00:21 > 1:00:24The husband of the murdered MP Jo Cox resigns from two

1:00:24 > 1:00:27organisations set up in her memory after allegations of sexual

1:00:27 > 1:00:27harassment.

1:00:27 > 1:00:28Brendan Cox admits he behaved "inappropriately"

1:00:28 > 1:00:31while working for Save the Children, but denies assaulting a woman

1:00:31 > 1:00:39at Harvard University in 2015.

1:00:43 > 1:00:45Good morning, it's Sunday the 18th of February.

1:00:45 > 1:00:53Also this morning:

1:00:55 > 1:00:58A major review of university funding will be unveiled by ministers today,

1:00:58 > 1:01:01as MPs claim interest rates on student loans

1:01:01 > 1:01:04are "unjustifiable".

1:01:04 > 1:01:06Thousands of people in Florida - including survivors of Wednesday's

1:01:06 > 1:01:09mass school shooting - take to the street to demand tighter

1:01:09 > 1:01:10tighter gun controls.

1:01:10 > 1:01:16If all our government and President can do is send thoughts and prayers,

1:01:16 > 1:01:22then it is time for victims to be the change that we need to see.

1:01:22 > 1:01:25After a Super Saturday for Team GB at the Winter Olympics,

1:01:25 > 1:01:30we'll hear from all three medallists live on Breakfast.

1:01:30 > 1:01:34Yes, it is the morning after the night if you are here in

1:01:34 > 1:01:37Pyeongchang, red Britain have just missed out on another medal, James

1:01:37 > 1:01:40Woods being edged into force in the ski slopestyle. More VU in 30

1:01:40 > 1:01:43minutes.

1:01:43 > 1:01:45-- More for you in 30 minutes.

1:01:45 > 1:01:48And Sarah Keith-Lucas has the weather.

1:01:48 > 1:01:51A mild and mainly cloudy day, the best of the sunshine towards the

1:01:51 > 1:01:56east, the rain in the west. If all forecast in around 15 minutes. Speak

1:01:56 > 1:01:58to you in a bit!

1:01:58 > 1:01:58Good morning.

1:01:58 > 1:02:00First, our main story.

1:02:00 > 1:02:03The husband of murdered MP Jo Cox has resigned from two charities

1:02:03 > 1:02:05he set up in her memory after allegations of sexual

1:02:05 > 1:02:08harassment were published in the Mail on Sunday.

1:02:08 > 1:02:10Mr Cox denies assaulting a woman at Harvard University

1:02:10 > 1:02:12in 2015 but admits to "inappropriate" behaviour

1:02:12 > 1:02:14while working for Save the Children.

1:02:14 > 1:02:18Our political correspondent Susana Mendonca reports.

1:02:18 > 1:02:20The murder of Jo Cox in 2016 shocked the nation.

1:02:20 > 1:02:24The Labour MP, who was also a mother of two small children,

1:02:24 > 1:02:26was murdered by a far right extremist during

1:02:26 > 1:02:30the EU referendum campaign.

1:02:30 > 1:02:32After her death, her husband Brendan became a prominent campaigner

1:02:32 > 1:02:35against extremism and went on to help set up two organisations

1:02:35 > 1:02:38- the Jo Cox Foundation and More In Common.

1:02:38 > 1:02:41Now he has resigned from both following allegations in the Mail

1:02:41 > 1:02:44on Sunday that he sexually harassed female colleagues while working

1:02:44 > 1:02:45for the charity Save the Children.

1:02:45 > 1:02:49In a statement, he said: A source close to Mr Cox told the BBC

1:02:49 > 1:02:52that he had never sexually assaulted anyone, and that the allegations

1:02:52 > 1:02:53were exaggerated.

1:02:53 > 1:02:56The Jo Cox Foundation said that Mr Cox was admired by staff

1:02:56 > 1:02:58there for the integrity, commitment and dedication he had

1:02:58 > 1:03:01shown to creating a positive legacy for his Jo.

1:03:01 > 1:03:09Susana Mendonca, BBC News.

1:03:35 > 1:03:38The new education secretary says he wants to see more variety

1:03:38 > 1:03:40in university tuition fees in England, rather than what he says

1:03:40 > 1:03:43is almost all institutions charging "exactly the same price".

1:03:43 > 1:03:44Interviewed in the Sunday Times,

1:03:44 > 1:03:47Damian Hinds also suggests the benefit of a university course

1:03:47 > 1:03:49to the economy could help decide future fees.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52It comes as he and the Prime Minister announce a review

1:03:52 > 1:03:54into university funding today, as Simon Clemison reports.

1:03:54 > 1:03:57Many of today's students were not born when university tuition fees

1:03:57 > 1:03:58were first introduced.

1:03:58 > 1:04:01But 20 years on, the link between getting a degree and paying

1:04:01 > 1:04:04towards the cost of it remains, and that has meant big

1:04:04 > 1:04:05sacrifices for some.

1:04:05 > 1:04:09And my parents sold their house so I could come to uni -

1:04:09 > 1:04:12I'm the first one in my family.

1:04:12 > 1:04:16Looking into it, there were lots of, like, different aspects of the debt

1:04:16 > 1:04:19and how much you're paying back, obviously, in the long run,

1:04:19 > 1:04:20and it's just a really prospect.

1:04:20 > 1:04:23The government still backs the idea that students should contribute

1:04:23 > 1:04:26towards the cost of their higher education, and that's one

1:04:26 > 1:04:28of the areas that will covered by its major review

1:04:28 > 1:04:29of student finance.

1:04:29 > 1:04:33It comes as a committee of MPs coming today says says current

1:04:33 > 1:04:40interest rates on loans of up to 6.1% are questionable.

1:04:40 > 1:04:43With students in England accumulating more than £5,000

1:04:43 > 1:04:44in charges while they are still studying.

1:04:44 > 1:04:47The average debt for graduates totalling more than £50,000.

1:04:47 > 1:04:50They need to look at grants available to help the poorer

1:04:50 > 1:04:53students, they need to look at the level of interest

1:04:53 > 1:04:56that is currently being applied to student loans, and they need

1:04:56 > 1:04:58to rebuild some public trust and confidence in the fairness

1:04:58 > 1:05:01of the system by ironing out some of these real injustices

1:05:01 > 1:05:04at the heart of the way that the system works.

1:05:04 > 1:05:06Education Secretary Damian Hinds suggests the review will consider

1:05:06 > 1:05:09extra subsidies for expensive subjects such as science

1:05:09 > 1:05:09and engineering.

1:05:09 > 1:05:12It could make it easier for universities to lower the cost

1:05:12 > 1:05:14of courses offered by the departments.

1:05:14 > 1:05:16The income threshold for repayment would also be considered,

1:05:16 > 1:05:20as will as the length of time before the loans are written off.

1:05:20 > 1:05:23But with the outstanding amount due to hit £160 billion by 2021,

1:05:23 > 1:05:25Labour argues the system is unsustainable.

1:05:25 > 1:05:30Simon Clemison, BBC News.

1:05:30 > 1:05:33Some of the survivors of Wednesday's school shooting in Florida have

1:05:33 > 1:05:37taken part in a rally to demand tighter gun controls in the US.

1:05:37 > 1:05:39Thousands of people gathered outside the court building

1:05:39 > 1:05:42in Fort Lauderdale, a short distance from the school where a former

1:05:42 > 1:05:43student killed 17 people.

1:05:43 > 1:05:49Laura Westbrook reports.

1:05:49 > 1:05:52CHANTING:No more!

1:05:52 > 1:05:53Outside the Federal Courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, this

1:05:53 > 1:05:58was the message to lawmakers.

1:05:58 > 1:06:00Among the protesters was Emma Gonzales, who took cover

1:06:00 > 1:06:03on the floor of her school's auditorium as a gunman started

1:06:03 > 1:06:06shooting.

1:06:06 > 1:06:09She had this to say to Donald Trump.

1:06:09 > 1:06:13If the President wants to come up to me and tell me to my face

1:06:13 > 1:06:17that it was a terrible tragedy and how it should never have

1:06:17 > 1:06:20happened, and maintain telling us how nothing is going to be done

1:06:20 > 1:06:23about it, I'm gonna happily ask him how much money he received

1:06:23 > 1:06:27from the National Rifle Association.

1:06:27 > 1:06:28CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

1:06:28 > 1:06:30What she's referring to is the millions of dollars

1:06:30 > 1:06:32the NRA has given towards the Trump campaign.

1:06:32 > 1:06:35On a visit to the hospital where the victims of the attack

1:06:35 > 1:06:39are being treated, the President once again made no mention of guns

1:06:39 > 1:06:40or gun control.

1:06:40 > 1:06:46Instead, he says the problem is mental illness.

1:06:46 > 1:06:49When somebody infringes a right for persons in this country to keep

1:06:49 > 1:06:52and bear arms, then it's an infringement upon our rights

1:06:52 > 1:06:54as a violation of our civil liberties, now

1:06:54 > 1:06:55we have a bigger problem.

1:06:55 > 1:06:58We will be spending our times at funerals!

1:06:58 > 1:07:01But after yet another school shooting, anger among the younger

1:07:01 > 1:07:04generation is rising.

1:07:04 > 1:07:07In fact, students across the country are planning a mass walkout

1:07:07 > 1:07:10of schools in April - the anniversary of the Columbine

1:07:10 > 1:07:11high school massacre.

1:07:11 > 1:07:14They are demanding adults listen to them and tighten gun control.

1:07:14 > 1:07:22Laura Westbrook, BBC News.

1:07:22 > 1:07:24President Trump has criticised the FBI for failing

1:07:24 > 1:07:26to stop the attack.

1:07:26 > 1:07:29In a tweet, he said the bureau was spending too much time trying

1:07:29 > 1:07:32to prove collusion between his electoral team and Russia,

1:07:32 > 1:07:39and that investigators should get back to basics.

1:07:39 > 1:07:42Israel says it's carried out heavy air strikes on Hamas targets

1:07:42 > 1:07:43in the Gaza strip.

1:07:43 > 1:07:45The military says it targeted 18 sites used

1:07:45 > 1:07:47by the Palestinian group, including an arms factory.

1:07:47 > 1:07:51They say it's in response to a bomb attack near the border which injured

1:07:51 > 1:07:52four Israeli soldiers.

1:07:52 > 1:08:00Doctors in Gaza say two Palestinians were injured and three are missing.

1:08:01 > 1:08:03Nearly 200 British women from the stage, film,

1:08:03 > 1:08:06and TV have launched a fund ahead of tonight's BAFTAs,

1:08:06 > 1:08:07demanding the eradication of sexual harassment.

1:08:07 > 1:08:10Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson and Dame Kristin Scott Thomas,

1:08:10 > 1:08:14are three of the women who signed an open letter calling for the end

1:08:14 > 1:08:15of harassment and abuse.

1:08:15 > 1:08:17Emma Watson has donated one million pounds to the fund,

1:08:17 > 1:08:20and Keira Knightley and Tom Hiddleston have each

1:08:31 > 1:08:34MPs on the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs committee

1:08:34 > 1:08:36predict that would be the result of trading under

1:09:06 > 1:09:11may also end up paying more for food if the UK reference to World Trade

1:09:11 > 1:09:15Organization rules. The environment food and rural affairs committee of

1:09:15 > 1:09:19MPs says a so-called hybrid would have a devastating effect on rural

1:09:19 > 1:09:25communities. It is because 60% of UK food exports go to the EU and they

1:09:25 > 1:09:28could face much higher tariffs. The committee also said that Britain

1:09:28 > 1:09:33should not pollute its own high food standard in order to find new global

1:09:33 > 1:09:39trade deals such as one with the US. We go into a sort of WTO situation

1:09:39 > 1:09:43where there are tariffs on imported food, it will drive food prices up

1:09:43 > 1:09:46and to some commodities that will actually suit farming but perhaps

1:09:46 > 1:09:51not the consumer if they have to pay more for their food.But the

1:09:51 > 1:09:54government has sought to soothe those concerns. It said that leaving

1:09:54 > 1:09:57the EU gave the UK a golden opportunity to secure ambitious

1:09:57 > 1:10:02free-trade deals while supporting our farmers and producers. It said

1:10:16 > 1:10:17at a Winter Olympics.

1:10:17 > 1:10:20Lizzy Yarnold won gold in the skeleton and Laura Deas

1:10:28 > 1:10:31And if you're wondering how our BBC commentary team

1:10:31 > 1:10:33keep their composure on days like yesterday,

1:10:33 > 1:10:41the answer is...they don't.

1:10:43 > 1:10:44Flock goes fourth!

1:10:44 > 1:10:45Yarnold wins gold again!

1:10:45 > 1:10:53Laura Deas have won bronze as well!

1:10:54 > 1:10:59Lizzy Yarnold, what a performance!I think that was a chair that went

1:10:59 > 1:11:00flying.

1:11:00 > 1:11:02That was John Hunt on the microphone alongside John Jackson

1:11:02 > 1:11:04and Amy Williams, struggling to contain their excitement

1:11:04 > 1:11:07as Austria's Janine Flock slipped into fourth place,

1:11:07 > 1:11:15sealing those medal places for Lizzy Yarnold and Laura Deas.

1:11:19 > 1:11:23As you are saying earlier, they were effectively celebrating the demise

1:11:31 > 1:11:36and is brilliant and can put his hand to anything. That was almost a

1:11:36 > 1:11:40sport in itself, dancing around the commentary box. That's terrific. I

1:11:40 > 1:11:42cannot see that enough!

1:11:42 > 1:11:45And coming up later, we'll be speaking to all three medal winners.

1:11:45 > 1:11:48Kat Downes will be live in Pyeongchang with Izzy Atkin just

1:11:48 > 1:11:50after half past seven, and with Lizzy Yarnold

1:11:50 > 1:11:53and Laura Deas at around half past eight.

1:11:53 > 1:11:57To stay with us for all of that, and we are keeping an eye on the women's

1:11:57 > 1:12:01curling. Will let you know what is happening a bit later. It is 7:11

1:12:01 > 1:12:03p.m.. Good morning. -- am.

1:12:03 > 1:12:07Tuition fees and student loans will be up for debate in a major

1:12:07 > 1:12:08government review of university funding that's

1:12:08 > 1:12:09being announced today.

1:12:09 > 1:12:12The cost of a course and the likelihood of it producing

1:12:12 > 1:12:14high-earning graduates is expected to be considered too.

1:12:14 > 1:12:17Nick Hillman, director of the Higher Education Policy Institute,

1:12:17 > 1:12:20joins us from our Oxford studio.

1:12:20 > 1:12:27Good morning to you. Good morning. What should the government be

1:12:27 > 1:12:30considering here? It would appear they are willing to take a look at

1:12:30 > 1:12:34all sorts of aspects of the whole business of funding higher education

1:12:34 > 1:12:37in England. If you were still working in government what would you

1:12:37 > 1:12:41suggest they do at the end of the process?Will find out in 24 hours

1:12:41 > 1:12:45who was doing the review and what its terms of reference bar but in my

1:12:45 > 1:12:50opinion, it should not spend too much time looking at £9,000 fees for

1:12:50 > 1:12:54full-time undergraduate school leavers. Because that bit of the

1:12:54 > 1:12:57system is actually working quite well. We have a higher proportion of

1:12:57 > 1:13:0218 your role is going to university than ever before. I think it should

1:13:02 > 1:13:05look at things like part-time student funding, part-time student

1:13:05 > 1:13:10numbers have more than halved in recent years. It is also, we think,

1:13:10 > 1:13:14going to be a church refunding review which means that further

1:13:14 > 1:13:17education colleges will be brought in as well and that is what we are a

1:13:17 > 1:13:23good idea. I perform treasury.You talk about how it brought in about

1:13:23 > 1:13:26£9,000 may be working and I suspect there may be some tunes walking at

1:13:26 > 1:13:32that description in terms of the size of the debt they are left with

1:13:32 > 1:13:35so the challenge for the government would be the Labor would get rid of

1:13:35 > 1:13:38tuition fees entirely and anything the government suggest, however Mel

1:13:38 > 1:13:42leaning over four well meaning and good for the Exchequer will by

1:13:42 > 1:13:47tinkering in the margins.That is true, students don't like the fact

1:13:47 > 1:13:52that the fees went up so much but we need to remember all of the money is

1:13:52 > 1:13:57being spent on their education. We have some of the best universities

1:13:57 > 1:14:00in the world and some of the best facilities and lecturers in the

1:14:00 > 1:14:06world. If we spend less on educating people, and the quality of education

1:14:06 > 1:14:10will be less good. If I was going to do one thing the those sort of

1:14:10 > 1:14:13archetypal young full-time undergraduates, it would actually be

1:14:13 > 1:14:18to look at their living costs because what they tell us, they

1:14:18 > 1:14:24worry about paying next week's rent more than about paying back debt

1:14:24 > 1:14:27when they are in the Labor market and only once they are on good

1:14:27 > 1:14:31earnings, a few years down the line. You touched on this a few minutes

1:14:31 > 1:14:38ago, but just to dive into the detail, we saw in Labor MP talking

1:14:38 > 1:14:41earlier about the idea of ironing out injustices as part of this

1:14:41 > 1:14:48shakeout. Where should the focus B? Where would you hope to go to a bit

1:14:48 > 1:14:52more detail if this all end up at the end of the whole business of

1:14:52 > 1:14:55this review?There is lots of places, one is part-time students,

1:14:55 > 1:14:59another is the living costs of students from poorer backgrounds,

1:14:59 > 1:15:04and another thing that really matters is how many places there are

1:15:04 > 1:15:10in the system. Every time the cost to what the taxpayers, of each

1:15:10 > 1:15:14university place, the chances are the government will come along and

1:15:14 > 1:15:18say we are only going to let fewer people go to university in the

1:15:18 > 1:15:23future and that really matters to macro, and then there is the whole

1:15:23 > 1:15:27further education, further education colleges have been hit hard in

1:15:27 > 1:15:32recent years and they deliver lots of higher education, they are not

1:15:32 > 1:15:36patched with universities, but they do deliver higher education and have

1:15:36 > 1:15:41been hit hard those are three or four areas I would start with.

1:15:45 > 1:15:49What do you make of the idea of cheaper courses for the university

1:15:49 > 1:15:56costing less for students, like humanities costing less than

1:15:56 > 1:16:01engineering or science.It is all over the papers. I do not think it

1:16:01 > 1:16:05stands up to scrutiny. For one reason, all of the people calling

1:16:05 > 1:16:09for different fees for different courses, they nearly all mean

1:16:09 > 1:16:15something different by it.

1:16:23 > 1:16:24something different by it. Some want cheaper fees for poorer students,

1:16:24 > 1:16:27cheaper for humanities, cheaper for medicine and physics, and some want

1:16:27 > 1:16:32cheaper fees for how well graduates to. We want everyone paying the

1:16:32 > 1:16:39same, but the amount you pay back after you graduated depends on how

1:16:39 > 1:16:43well you do afterwards. The government will still pay extra

1:16:43 > 1:16:50money if you do medicine or teaching to educate you. It will be an issue

1:16:50 > 1:16:54for this review, but it is not an easy question.Thank you for talking

1:16:54 > 1:17:01to us. We appreciate your insight. Talking to us from Oxford. The

1:20:21 > 1:20:23Some claim the radiation caused cancers and birth defects

1:20:23 > 1:20:25which they passed onto their children and grandchildren.

1:20:25 > 1:20:29Now they hope a new study of their DNA will prove it,

1:20:29 > 1:20:37as Sarah Corker reports.

1:20:40 > 1:20:55It was so bright you could see the bones in your hand.You just

1:21:24 > 1:21:30grandchildren have suffered with some range of illnesses, some are

1:21:30 > 1:21:35frightening.Three generations of the Fleming family believe they have

1:21:35 > 1:21:41suffered because of his exposure to radiation.21 odd members in our

1:21:41 > 1:21:48family, and 16 of us have health problems. Muscular, legal, tumour

1:21:48 > 1:21:52problems, kidney stone problems. -- skeletal.They have spent decades

1:21:52 > 1:21:59searching for answers. It was back in 2012 Wendy test veterans took

1:21:59 > 1:22:10their case to The Supreme Court and lost. -- when the test. Now, here at

1:22:10 > 1:22:14Brunel university in London, they are carrying out scientific research

1:22:14 > 1:22:19to see if there DNA has been irreparably damaged. The chief

1:22:19 > 1:22:22scientist told me blood cells will be taken from 100 veterans and their

1:22:22 > 1:22:27families.We are assembling a group of veterans that we know were

1:22:27 > 1:22:33present at nuclear tests back in the 50s and 60s, and we are comparing

1:22:33 > 1:22:38samples of their blood with a control sample of veterans who we

1:22:38 > 1:22:44know were not present at the nuclear test sites.And the scientists will

1:22:44 > 1:22:50work closely with veteran charities. They are the forgotten generation of

1:22:50 > 1:22:57people who saw these very, very powerful weapons exploded in their

1:22:57 > 1:23:01faces, and it is almost like they have been wiped from the history

1:23:01 > 1:23:07books.The Ministry of Defence says it is grateful to the servicemen,

1:23:07 > 1:23:11but says three previous studies of the veterans found no valid evidence

1:23:11 > 1:23:17to link the test to ill health. They set up the aged veteran fund in 2015

1:23:17 > 1:23:26to help find this new research. The Flemings want to take part in this

1:23:26 > 1:23:29study and are waiting to hear if they have been selected.We want

1:23:29 > 1:23:36recognition. That is what we are fighting for.So, 60 years on,

1:23:57 > 1:24:00Time now for a look at the newspapers.

1:24:00 > 1:24:01Digital marketing and technology expert, Dan Sodergren,

1:24:01 > 1:24:04is here to tell us what's caught his eye.

1:24:04 > 1:24:06We'll speak to Dan in a minute.

1:24:06 > 1:24:10There is a lot to get through this morning. We will start with this

1:24:10 > 1:24:16story about growing human organs, a pancreas, within sheep.The

1:24:16 > 1:24:23technology now exists. The next 5-10 years we can grow organs in sheep.

1:24:23 > 1:24:27It is exciting for people with diabetes because it could be that

1:24:27 > 1:24:32your pancreas could get swapped out to one that is working. Obviously,

1:24:32 > 1:24:37diabetes is a huge problem in this country. It costs about £9 billion

1:24:37 > 1:24:47to the NHS. 5 million of us could have this. By the time my daughter

1:24:47 > 1:24:53is 20, it will be 5 million of us that we'll have this. It is a huge

1:24:53 > 1:25:00problem to the UK. Obviously, there are different ways of dealing with

1:25:00 > 1:25:06diabetes.I was going to say, is it, to an extent, different types of

1:25:06 > 1:25:09diabetes, different reasons they contracted, but is it a lifestyle

1:25:09 > 1:25:14disease? By growing these organs are we treating the symptoms are not the

1:25:14 > 1:25:21courts?There are two different types. I am not a doctor, but Type

1:25:21 > 1:25:29one and Type two. The second one is linked to lifestyle, but not always.

1:25:29 > 1:25:33More important is the cost to the NHS to be more than 20,000 per year

1:25:33 > 1:25:40die from it. -- NHS. It is the biggest cause of people losing limbs

1:25:40 > 1:25:46and eyes.We do not have enough organs to donate.Not at all. This

1:25:46 > 1:25:51could be a great way of doing it. But you are right to say there are

1:25:51 > 1:25:58other ways we could do this. Myself, I was diagnosed in November and I am

1:25:58 > 1:26:01going through a change which is not taking up my pancreas and replacing

1:26:01 > 1:26:11it with a sheep one. But I have been talking about that on my

1:26:11 > 1:26:14talking about that on my website, typetwodiabetes.com. This is the

1:26:14 > 1:26:22next one. Donor Kebab. Taking a serious story and making it Donor

1:26:22 > 1:26:27Kebab instead. I love that. Technology could save us. 5 million

1:26:27 > 1:26:35people are potentially.On the technology theme again. We delve

1:26:45 > 1:26:48into the inside pages. Page 53 of the Mail on Sunday. GCHQ and smart

1:26:48 > 1:26:51metres, the whole business of being tapped into.Technology is a

1:26:51 > 1:26:56double-edged sword. This is a bit of a dangerous story. People are using

1:26:56 > 1:26:59smart metres in their homes, which we have been told to do. But,

1:26:59 > 1:27:06actually, they could be tapped into and hacked by outside groups. They

1:27:06 > 1:27:10have to look at the security of this in a good detail. That is what the

1:27:10 > 1:27:23government is doing. Positive in the end.I was

1:27:27 > 1:27:30end.I was wondering, as SurviveLive will know when I got my new washing

1:27:30 > 1:27:33machine, everything has WiFi, will Russia be looking at my smalls? They

1:27:33 > 1:27:36probably have other things they are more interested in.But they could

1:27:36 > 1:27:43look at different things, but perhaps not your smalls. Putin might

1:27:43 > 1:27:47say I wouldn't mix those.And family have tried to go plastic free for a

1:27:47 > 1:27:51week, but it does not come without cost, does it?When you look at the

1:27:51 > 1:27:58cost. Look at the end there. They went for a week without plastic.

1:27:58 > 1:28:02They continued to do so, but because they found it was healthier to it

1:28:02 > 1:28:07food without it. Were putting this into the oceans and it will be there

1:28:07 > 1:28:17for 450 years. 8 million tons goes inside the ocean. It is a huge cost.

1:28:17 > 1:28:23£22 per week can be a significant... They enjoyed the food more as well.

1:28:23 > 1:28:30Depends what you prioritise.We will talk more later on. Plenty more to

1:28:30 > 1:28:34talk about to be we will get into some of the glossies as well. It is

1:28:34 > 1:28:39not just the news. We will look at that a little later here on

1:28:39 > 1:28:40Breakfast.

1:28:40 > 1:28:43The Andrew Marr Show follows Breakfast on BBC One at 9am.

1:28:43 > 1:28:45Let's see what's on the show.

1:28:45 > 1:28:48Andrew?

1:28:48 > 1:28:52Absolutely nothing glossy about us! The big story this morning is about

1:28:52 > 1:28:59tuition fees in schools in England. I will speak to the new Education

1:28:59 > 1:29:04Secretary

1:29:04 > 1:29:07Secretary and his Labour opposite who is at the summit in Leeds. I

1:29:07 > 1:29:17have been talking to the Verhofstadt negotiator. And I have been talking

1:29:17 > 1:29:21to the real expert on the connections of Donald Trump to the

1:29:21 > 1:29:26Russians. A busy programme. All that comes at nine a.m..

1:29:26 > 1:29:31You're watching Breakfast. Still to come this morning.

1:29:31 > 1:29:34It's one of the most hotly tipped films for tonight's Baftas.

1:29:34 > 1:29:37We'll hear from actors Margot Robbie and Allison Janney who star in "I,

1:29:37 > 1:29:37Tonya."

1:29:37 > 1:29:40Stay with us. Headlines are coming up.

1:30:09 > 1:30:12Hello, this is Breakfast with Chris Mason and Rachel Burden.

1:30:12 > 1:30:12Good morning.

1:30:12 > 1:30:17Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

1:30:17 > 1:30:21The husband of murdered MP Jo Cox has resigned from two charities

1:30:21 > 1:30:23he set up in her memory after allegations of sexual

1:30:23 > 1:30:25harassment were made public.

1:30:25 > 1:30:28Mr Cox denies assaulting a woman at Harvard University in 2015,

1:30:28 > 1:30:30but admits to "inappropriate" behaviour while working

1:30:30 > 1:30:31for Save the Children.

1:30:31 > 1:30:35He has left posts at More in Common and the Jo Cox Foundation

1:30:35 > 1:30:43after the Mail on Sunday published the claims.

1:30:43 > 1:30:45The new education secretary Damian Hinds says he wants more

1:30:45 > 1:30:48variety in university tuition fees ahead of an England-wide review

1:30:48 > 1:30:52into university funding.

1:30:52 > 1:30:54In an interview with the Sunday Times, he also said

1:30:54 > 1:30:57the income threshold for repayment would be considered

1:30:57 > 1:31:00as well as the length of time before loans are written off.

1:31:00 > 1:31:03It comes on the same day the Treasury Committee called

1:31:03 > 1:31:07the interest rates on loans unjustifiable.

1:31:07 > 1:31:09Speaking earlier on Breakfast, Nick Hillman, director

1:31:09 > 1:31:11of the Higher Education Policy Institute, told us charging

1:31:11 > 1:31:19different course fees would be difficult.

1:31:20 > 1:31:24There is a logic to the current system which is everybody pays the

1:31:24 > 1:31:29same. But the amount you pay back after you have graduated depends on

1:31:29 > 1:31:33how well you do in the Labor market. If your course is really expensive

1:31:33 > 1:31:39to teach, like engineering or medicine, the government still pays

1:31:39 > 1:31:42extra money to the university to educate Hughes, so differential fees

1:31:42 > 1:31:46will definitely be an issue for this review, but it isn't an easy

1:31:46 > 1:31:47question. But for the educate you.

1:31:47 > 1:31:50Some of the survivors of Wednesday's school shooting in Florida have

1:31:50 > 1:31:54taken part in a rally to demand tighter gun controls in the US.

1:31:54 > 1:31:57Thousands of people gathered in Fort Lauderdale, near the school

1:31:57 > 1:31:59where a former student killed 17 people.

1:31:59 > 1:32:02In a tweet, President Trump blamed the FBI for failing to stop

1:32:02 > 1:32:05the attack because they were too busy trying to prove collusion

1:32:05 > 1:32:11between his electoral campaign team and Russia.

1:32:11 > 1:32:14But one survivor of the shooting criticised Mr Trump's links

1:32:14 > 1:32:15to America's gun lobby.

1:32:15 > 1:32:19If the President wants to come up to me and tell me to my face

1:32:19 > 1:32:22that it was a terrible tragedy and how it should never have

1:32:22 > 1:32:26happened, and maintain telling us how nothing is going to be done

1:32:26 > 1:32:29about it, I'm going to happily ask him how much money he received

1:32:29 > 1:32:31from the National Rifle Association.

1:32:31 > 1:32:33CHEERING AND APPLAUSE.

1:32:33 > 1:32:36Israel says it's carried out heavy air strikes on Hamas targets

1:32:36 > 1:32:37in the Gaza strip.

1:32:37 > 1:32:40The military says it targeted 18 sites used by the Palestinian group,

1:32:40 > 1:32:41including an arms factory.

1:32:41 > 1:32:45They say it's in response to a bomb attack near the border which injured

1:32:45 > 1:32:46four Israeli soldiers.

1:32:46 > 1:32:54Doctors in Gaza say two Palestinians were injured and three are missing.

1:32:58 > 1:32:59Nearly 200 British women from the stage, film,

1:32:59 > 1:33:02and TV have launched a fund ahead of tonight's BAFTAs,

1:33:02 > 1:33:04demanding the eradication of sexual harassment.

1:33:04 > 1:33:06Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson and Dame Kristin Scott Thomas,

1:33:06 > 1:33:10are three of the women who signed an open letter calling for the end

1:33:10 > 1:33:11of harassment and abuse.

1:33:11 > 1:33:14Emma Watson has donated one million pounds to the fund,

1:33:14 > 1:33:16and Keira Knightley and Tom Hiddleston have each

1:33:16 > 1:33:23given 10,000 pounds.

1:33:23 > 1:33:27Church spires and towers are to be used to boost mobile phone

1:33:27 > 1:33:28and broadband connectivity in rural areas.

1:33:28 > 1:33:31The Church of England would benefit by charging rent for the space.

1:33:31 > 1:33:34The Government says the equipment would usually be installed

1:33:34 > 1:33:42inside the spire, so it wouldn't harm the look of the building.

1:33:42 > 1:33:46Two giant pandas on loan from China have been unveiled at a zoo

1:33:46 > 1:33:47in central Finland.

1:33:47 > 1:33:50Lumi and Pyry gave visitors at Ahtari Zoo quite a show

1:33:50 > 1:33:53when their quarantine ended and they were let out into the open

1:33:53 > 1:33:54air for the first time.

1:33:54 > 1:33:58China agreed to loan the pair for 15 years as a gift to Finland,

1:33:58 > 1:34:00which celebrated 100 years of independence

1:34:00 > 1:34:08from Russia last year.

1:34:11 > 1:34:15That is an Olympics bought, Winter Olympic sport I might be able to do,

1:34:15 > 1:34:22the roly-poly down the hill.Maybe could do that for us in a little

1:34:22 > 1:34:31while. How are you? There isn't much call for winter Olympic roly-poly,

1:34:31 > 1:34:35actually, it hasn't made it onto the roster just yet but it is the

1:34:35 > 1:34:38morning after the night before, really in Pyeongchang after the best

1:34:38 > 1:34:43day ever for a British team after a winter games. What a day it was,

1:34:43 > 1:34:46Lizzy Yarnold winning the back to back Olympic titles and making

1:34:46 > 1:34:51history and I think we should relive that moment, shouldn't we? Second

1:34:51 > 1:34:54place after the penultimate run, blistering final run catapulted her

1:34:54 > 1:34:58to the top of the standings, clean through the corners, keeping her

1:34:58 > 1:35:02speech to the flat sections and producing her very best when it

1:35:02 > 1:35:06mattered, the focus then for Lizzy Yarnold and all that stood between

1:35:06 > 1:35:10her and a second gold medal was ginning flock of Austria with a

1:35:10 > 1:35:163-time World Cup race winner Janine Flock. She lost time over her final

1:35:16 > 1:35:19run which meant that the Lizzy Yarnold is the first British woman

1:35:19 > 1:35:28to successfully defend a Winter Olympic title.

1:35:28 > 1:35:30And it also meant that Laura Dees, who was in fourth place

1:35:30 > 1:35:33after her final run, was bumped up to bronze.

1:35:33 > 1:35:36Sheer delight from her, since, just like Dom Parsons a few days

1:35:36 > 1:35:39ago, she thought she hadn't done enough and had just missed out.

1:35:39 > 1:35:43So, for the first time ever, Great Britain has two medal winners

1:35:43 > 1:35:45on the same podium at a Winter Games.

1:35:45 > 1:35:49And one more record for you - it was the first time Great Britain

1:35:49 > 1:35:52won three medals in one day, because earlier Izzy Atkin won

1:35:52 > 1:35:56bronze in the skiing slopestyle.

1:35:56 > 1:36:01I'm delighted to say she is standing next to me with a very heavy metal

1:36:01 > 1:36:07around her neck. Tell me quite a heavy that is.It is very heavy, if

1:36:07 > 1:36:11I leave it too long around my neck my neck will get sore.It is 500 g

1:36:11 > 1:36:18or something? It is bonkers. A massive chunk of metal. Tell us, how

1:36:18 > 1:36:22is the field to win an Olympic runs metal, were you expecting it, what

1:36:22 > 1:36:27were your expectations going in?No, I certainly wasn't going in

1:36:27 > 1:36:31expecting a podium that I think this really wanted to put down a run that

1:36:31 > 1:36:36I was really proud of and ski the best that I could. To come away with

1:36:36 > 1:36:41this has just been amazing, it feels like a dream.Talk us through the

1:36:41 > 1:36:45final run because the people at home watching you ski, it was so clean,

1:36:45 > 1:36:51so calm, when you needed it.I was nervous at the top because I had

1:36:51 > 1:36:55just been bumped down to fourth place by Maggie, one of the US

1:36:55 > 1:37:01skiers, and I was extremely nervous but I knew I could do it, I put down

1:37:01 > 1:37:05the run in training so I decide to put it down when it counted.What

1:37:05 > 1:37:09was the point when you knew you had won the bronze?It was after those

1:37:09 > 1:37:13three girls went after me, which was a stressful couple of minutes,

1:37:13 > 1:37:18because any one of them could have bummed me off the podium. Yeah, I

1:37:18 > 1:37:22still don't think it has fully settled in but it feels amazing.I

1:37:22 > 1:37:26can help but notice you have a transatlantic accent. Tell us about

1:37:26 > 1:37:30your connections to Great Britain and where you train and where you

1:37:30 > 1:37:35have been growing up.So I trained at the moment and practice in Utah

1:37:35 > 1:37:40in the US and my father is from England, he drop in Birmingham, and

1:37:40 > 1:37:44I have loads of family there, they came out to watch me yesterday. My

1:37:44 > 1:37:49aunt and uncle actually surprised me, they flew all the way from

1:37:49 > 1:37:53Surrey to come here and surprise me which has been amazing to got to see

1:37:53 > 1:37:57them for bit last night and, yeah I feel so honoured to be a part of

1:37:57 > 1:38:03Team GB.What was the reaction when you walked back into Team GB house?

1:38:03 > 1:38:07Loads of congratulations. I didn't spend a lot of time in the village

1:38:07 > 1:38:10yesterday with the medal ceremony and all the media stuff and it has

1:38:10 > 1:38:15been a surreal couple of hours, 24 hours, I suppose.Your first

1:38:15 > 1:38:19Olympics and you come away with a bronze medal.Where do you go from

1:38:19 > 1:38:24here? I will just keep skiing and having fun, the season isn't open

1:38:24 > 1:38:28yet, we still have a couple of competitions, I will keep it a bit

1:38:28 > 1:38:33chill, rest up because my body is definitely a bit sore after

1:38:33 > 1:38:38yesterday, it was a lot of skiing, and I will keep having fun.You said

1:38:38 > 1:38:42you were going to celebrate with a trip to a karaoke bar and sing some

1:38:42 > 1:38:47Katy Perry.Have you done that yet? Not yet but probably tonight after

1:38:47 > 1:38:54all of the guys are done, hopefully tonight.Congratulations, Izzy. You

1:38:54 > 1:38:58mentioned James Woods because there was disappointment for him, he was

1:38:58 > 1:39:03trying to emulate Izzy in the skiing slopestyle and just missed out on a

1:39:03 > 1:39:09bronze medal. The tiniest fraction, agonisingly close.

1:39:09 > 1:39:13He had been in the bronze medal position for much of the competition

1:39:13 > 1:39:15but was just edged out on the final run.

1:39:15 > 1:39:17Just 1.4 points in it.

1:39:17 > 1:39:22Before I go, just time to update you on the curling because Britain's

1:39:22 > 1:39:26women are in action. They are against Sweden in the latest

1:39:26 > 1:39:34round-robin. It is 6-4 after eight or nine ends. They have won three,

1:39:34 > 1:39:37lost through with three more round-robin matches left to go, they

1:39:37 > 1:39:42are in fourth position, only the top four go through, so it is tense

1:39:42 > 1:39:48stuff for great Britain's curlers on the ice at the moment. Thank you,

1:39:48 > 1:39:57Kat! We are keeping a close eye on all of that. The final end, you

1:39:57 > 1:40:01could see Eve Muirhead has played a great shot. They are not by any

1:40:01 > 1:40:06means out if they lose, are they? No, they will still be in but it

1:40:06 > 1:40:10will be difficult if they do end up losing this. They are trailing by

1:40:10 > 1:40:18two points in this crucial length. You can see the 10th written on

1:40:18 > 1:40:24their facial expressions. -- attention. I can't see how many

1:40:24 > 1:40:32stones are left but... We are in the 10th end. So, yeah, will keep an eye

1:40:32 > 1:40:36on that. Let's talk FA Cup. It isn't all slipping and sliding in sport.

1:40:36 > 1:40:42There is plenty of that in the football! Who will talk about the FA

1:40:42 > 1:40:45Cup, Manchester United beating Huddersfield by two goals to nil,

1:40:45 > 1:40:50but it was a controversy, wasn't it? This is of a yellow lines on whether

1:40:50 > 1:40:59they ask Wiggly or not. Have I got my head around specifics of this.

1:40:59 > 1:41:03The video assistant referee system, Manchester 12- zero but it was a

1:41:03 > 1:41:08gold ruled out for offside but are talking about with a system that is

1:41:08 > 1:41:11used. So it goes to the video assistant referee. But the lookup

1:41:11 > 1:41:16the key talking point, this was a goal from Juan Mata, tight offside

1:41:16 > 1:41:19decision, the referee Kevin friend was in touch with the video

1:41:19 > 1:41:25assistant referee who ruled it out, offside, and ultimately, the

1:41:25 > 1:41:29squiggly line was there as you can see, this is Romelu Lukaku making it

1:41:29 > 1:41:38safe his second goal of the and that is now 21 goals of the season, we

1:41:38 > 1:41:44didn't actually see the squiggly line. When we say the squiggly line,

1:41:44 > 1:41:49it is the line that was observed by the assistant referee looking at the

1:41:49 > 1:41:55TV screen? There is some debate as to whether it was an accurate line

1:41:55 > 1:42:00or not? Exactly. It is supposed to be straight but it looked a little

1:42:00 > 1:42:04bit like when you got the primary school and you get given a ruler for

1:42:04 > 1:42:09the first time? We're not sure if that is what the video assistant

1:42:09 > 1:42:12referee was looking out but either way, there was confusion about

1:42:12 > 1:42:17whether it should have been ruled out. It is a mess, isn't it? It is

1:42:17 > 1:42:20messy and that splits opinion, Joe Z Mourinho said the system is good but

1:42:20 > 1:42:25as long as we get it right it is fine. David Wagner, the Huddersfield

1:42:25 > 1:42:30town manager and I must say, I am with him, he said it takes the

1:42:30 > 1:42:34emotion out of the game because Juan Mata scores and celebrates but then

1:42:34 > 1:42:38it isn't a goal and the supporters are well up for as well not sure and

1:42:38 > 1:42:43I must admit, it is difficult as it is to believe in my youthful looks,

1:42:43 > 1:42:49I am old school on it as well. Let's say would be on that. The boxing

1:42:49 > 1:42:50now.

1:42:50 > 1:42:52George Groves successfully defended his WBA Super middleweight

1:42:52 > 1:42:55title with a win over Chris Eubank Junior in Manchester

1:42:55 > 1:42:57The British world title bout went all 12 rounds,

1:42:57 > 1:42:59with Groves boxing clever to withstand the challenge

1:42:59 > 1:43:01from Eubank Junior.

1:43:01 > 1:43:03The victory was unanimous and also means Groves

1:43:03 > 1:43:07is through to the World Boxing Super Series final.

1:43:07 > 1:43:10England's cricketers are in action in New Zealand at the moment.

1:43:10 > 1:43:13Despite losing all their matches a win here could mean they face

1:43:13 > 1:43:15Australia in the final.

1:43:15 > 1:43:17They're likely to need to win by around 20 runs

1:43:17 > 1:43:23to reach the final.

1:43:23 > 1:43:29It's been mixed so far from England,

1:43:29 > 1:43:34David Malan hit half century as England made 194- seven on their 20

1:43:34 > 1:43:43overs. Will it be enough with New Zealand chasing 100 and 74? As I

1:43:43 > 1:43:47mentioned England's need to win by more than 20 runs to stand a

1:43:47 > 1:43:51realistic chance of getting through to the final. You have mastered the

1:43:51 > 1:43:54rules of various winter Olympics sport and now have to do arithmetic

1:43:54 > 1:44:08around the cricket. Watch me bumble through! We will speak to you later.

1:44:12 > 1:44:15They brought us Ikea and Scandi-noir, and now

1:44:15 > 1:44:17a new Swedish fitness craze has reached British shores.

1:44:17 > 1:44:19'Plogging' or picking litter while jogging has gaining momentum

1:44:19 > 1:44:21in the UK, as Greg Dawson reports.

1:44:21 > 1:44:24In many ways, it looks like any other weekend fitness routine.

1:44:24 > 1:44:26You'll need a pair of these.

1:44:26 > 1:44:28A warm-up will help - it is February.

1:44:28 > 1:44:31But don't forget to pick up one of these.

1:44:31 > 1:44:33And maybe this will come in handy too.

1:44:33 > 1:44:36Plogging, or plucking and jogging, first gained popularity in Sweden

1:44:36 > 1:44:38but it's quickly caught on around the world,

1:44:38 > 1:44:40from the beaches of Australia to the pavements of India,

1:44:40 > 1:44:45and here in the parks of south-east London.

1:44:45 > 1:44:46I like running.

1:44:46 > 1:44:48I like doing stuff in the community.

1:44:48 > 1:44:50I like finding places that I didn't know existed -

1:44:50 > 1:44:54like, I didn't know this park was here, even though I live

1:44:54 > 1:44:56in the area, I've never been here before -

1:44:56 > 1:44:58so I think it does two things.

1:44:58 > 1:45:03It helps me to get fit and helps me to find out more about where I live

1:45:03 > 1:45:04and that, I enjoy.

1:45:04 > 1:45:07Ivo Gormley is the founder of Good Gym which runs plogging

1:45:07 > 1:45:09sessions and other community activities across the UK.

1:45:09 > 1:45:12We have been getting hundreds of new people signing up.

1:45:12 > 1:45:15Every time you go for a run, you're likely to pass by somewhere

1:45:15 > 1:45:17where there isn't fly tipping going on.

1:45:17 > 1:45:20You're not likely to pass by the house of someone

1:45:20 > 1:45:21who is isolated and lonely.

1:45:21 > 1:45:23Every time you are running through your community,

1:45:23 > 1:45:26there are things that need doing and actually,

1:45:26 > 1:45:27you can combine that with your exercise.

1:45:27 > 1:45:30This is about far more than just running, though.

1:45:30 > 1:45:34As we know, a lot of our litter ends up in the waterways which means

1:45:34 > 1:45:36that the ploggers end up in waders.

1:45:36 > 1:45:39And it's not just helping the environment but also potentially

1:45:39 > 1:45:39the public purse.

1:45:39 > 1:45:42Clearing litter costs local authorities more than £700 million

1:45:42 > 1:45:43a year in England alone.

1:45:43 > 1:45:45This local-level volunteering coincides with a growing momentum

1:45:45 > 1:45:47nationally to cut waste.

1:45:47 > 1:45:49Following the popularity of the BBC's Blue Planet series,

1:45:49 > 1:45:52which highlighted the damage plastic is causing to our oceans,

1:45:52 > 1:45:59the Scottish Parliament announced plans to ban plastic straws.

1:45:59 > 1:46:02And the Royal Family has even backed efforts to reduce single-use plastic

1:46:02 > 1:46:03on Britain's Royal Estates.

1:46:03 > 1:46:05Does it ever frustrate you when you're litter picking,

1:46:05 > 1:46:08you see the state of some of the parks and some

1:46:08 > 1:46:12of the waterways?

1:46:12 > 1:46:16I suppose it is a bit frustrating but especially because this

1:46:16 > 1:46:19is my local park - I live just around the corner -

1:46:19 > 1:46:22but it is good that so many people are willing to give

1:46:22 > 1:46:25up their Saturday mornings to clean up parks and rivers and...

1:46:25 > 1:46:26To get involved.

1:46:26 > 1:46:27Get involved in the community.

1:46:27 > 1:46:30With that sense of making a small difference to a bigger problem,

1:46:30 > 1:46:33plogging offers much more than just a strenuous workout.

1:46:33 > 1:46:41Greg Dawson, BBC News, south-east London.

1:46:48 > 1:46:57It makes you wonder when you see the enthusiasm, like in the curling. It

1:46:57 > 1:47:04could be exciting to go and pick up litter. We have a nationwide

1:47:04 > 1:47:09enthusiasm for the brushing...Does it make it go faster or slower?I

1:47:09 > 1:47:16just need to master the rules by the end of the Games.It is tied at the

1:47:16 > 1:47:24moment. We are keeping an eye on it. There it is. It is very tight

1:47:24 > 1:47:31between Great Britain and Sweden at the moment.And it is faster. If you

1:47:31 > 1:47:36live in the countryside you can understand how bad it is trying to

1:47:36 > 1:47:43get good Wi-Fi.

1:47:43 > 1:47:46But now, the Church of England has signed an agreement

1:47:46 > 1:47:49with the government making it easier to use church steeples to host

1:47:49 > 1:47:50mobile phone masts.

1:47:50 > 1:47:53Becky Clark, who's from the Church of England, joins us

1:47:53 > 1:47:54from our London newsroom.

1:47:54 > 1:47:59Good morning.Good morning.Watch deal have you done with mobile phone

1:47:59 > 1:48:04companies?It is not a deal with them. It is an agreement with the

1:48:04 > 1:48:09government to work together to improve mobile and broadband

1:48:09 > 1:48:13infrastructure.It is needed for small businesses and people in more

1:48:13 > 1:48:16isolated communities to make sure they have connectivity with the rest

1:48:16 > 1:48:25of the world.Those of us who live in cities and small townships take

1:48:25 > 1:48:32it for granted. We have to make sure that, as a body with representatives

1:48:32 > 1:48:36in every community, we wanted extended to everyone in country.

1:48:36 > 1:48:40There must have been some anxiety before you came to this agreement.

1:48:40 > 1:48:44There will be a deal with the phone companies to be done at some stage

1:48:44 > 1:48:47in this process and you will effectively charged them rent for

1:48:47 > 1:48:55using your buildings. Given they are Christian places of worship, are you

1:48:55 > 1:49:01OK using it for commercial ends?120 churches are already taking part in

1:49:01 > 1:49:05this kind of partnership. More importantly, we are trying to

1:49:05 > 1:49:09provide productivity in areas of the country companies have not been able

1:49:09 > 1:49:14to reach. We are not talking about mobile, this is about providing

1:49:14 > 1:49:20mobile and broadband to areas in the country without it. It will be

1:49:20 > 1:49:25smaller providers and local companies. Any money and by the

1:49:25 > 1:49:28local church rather than the central Church of England can be invested

1:49:28 > 1:49:32back into the local communities.How disruptive role there? What will

1:49:32 > 1:49:39these mobile phone masts look like? People might imagine enormous and

1:49:39 > 1:49:49tall radio transmitters but we are talking about very small antenna you

1:49:49 > 1:49:55cannot see from the ground, and they sit inside the tower along with the

1:49:55 > 1:49:58cables, discreetly inside the building. The amount of damage...

1:49:58 > 1:50:03There will be no damage. The impact on the buildings themselves will be

1:50:03 > 1:50:07minimal. All the technology we are installing will be resourceful.

1:50:07 > 1:50:13Thank you so much.

1:50:13 > 1:50:18Thank you so much.We will hear much more from you with more

1:50:18 > 1:50:19Thank you so much.We will hear much more from you with more Wi-Fi.And

1:50:19 > 1:50:26now for the weather. It is a beautiful scene with the sun rising

1:50:26 > 1:50:31in Norfolk. This was taken by a Weather Watcher. Through the rest of

1:50:31 > 1:50:37the day, largely dry. A lot of cloud. It will bring some bricks of

1:50:43 > 1:50:47clouds moving towards the west. Clear skies in central and eastern

1:50:47 > 1:50:56parts. Chilly by frost in the east. High pressure holding on. A warm

1:50:56 > 1:51:01front is bringing milder air. Also some cloud. Outbreaks of rain

1:51:01 > 1:51:05pushing into Northern Ireland through the middle part of the day.

1:51:05 > 1:51:09The rest of the country, dry weather. The best of the sunshine in

1:51:09 > 1:51:15northern and eastern Scotland. Temperatures ranging between 8-9 in

1:51:15 > 1:51:20the north, 10- 11 in the south. The evening, rain heading to Dumfries &

1:51:20 > 1:51:26Galloway. Cornwall as well. Then it goes for England, Scotland, and

1:51:26 > 1:51:31Wales. Things should dry up in Northern Ireland overnight. Cloud,

1:51:31 > 1:51:36mild, frost-free. Different from this morning. We still have a front

1:51:36 > 1:51:40with us during the day on Monday. Fizzling out as advancing to high

1:51:40 > 1:51:44pressure. Still producing some outbreaks of rain with milder air.

1:51:44 > 1:51:48The yellow indicates mild air with us on Monday. Do not get used to it.

1:51:48 > 1:51:54Not sticking around long. Cloudy and grey. Through the day, skies should

1:51:54 > 1:51:58clear. Sunshine breaking through for Northern Ireland and western

1:51:58 > 1:52:02Scotland, the west of England and Wales. Further east, cloud with a

1:52:02 > 1:52:06few outbreaks of rain on that weakening front. Temperatures are

1:52:06 > 1:52:12still in double figures for many of us. Call under the rain. Tuesday,

1:52:12 > 1:52:16still have remnants of that front producing rain the East Anglia and

1:52:16 > 1:52:18Sussex.

1:52:23 > 1:52:26Temperatures will be in double figures in Northern Ireland. Then

1:52:26 > 1:52:30things will change as we bring in the cold easterly wind. It will

1:52:30 > 1:52:36bring with it chilly conditions for a midweek onwards. A different feel

1:52:36 > 1:52:42to the weather. It will feel colder, but dry and bright. The week ahead.

1:52:42 > 1:52:48Mild and cloudy. Rain over the next few days. But things turned more

1:52:48 > 1:52:56cold but also sunny late in the week. -- turn.

1:52:56 > 1:52:59And later on we will hear from the skeleton medallists from the

1:52:59 > 1:53:03Olympics.
