0:00:07 > 0:00:12Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty.
0:00:12 > 0:00:15A move on gun control policy in the United States.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18President Trump indicates he's willing to make a change.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21As students prepare to march in the state capital
0:00:21 > 0:00:24after last week's school shooting, he says he'd support a ban
0:00:24 > 0:00:32on devices which turn rifles into machine-guns.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Good morning, it's Wednesday 21st February.
0:00:42 > 0:00:48Also this morning:
0:00:48 > 0:00:51A warning of a humanitarian disaster in Syria where hundreds of people
0:00:51 > 0:00:55have died after days of bombing.
0:00:55 > 0:00:57We look at how early onset dementia could be linked
0:00:57 > 0:01:02to regular heavy drinking.
0:01:02 > 0:01:07Good morning.
0:01:07 > 0:01:10A crucial time of year for the farmers with animals going back out
0:01:10 > 0:01:15into the fields. And high time to get a grip on the problem of dogs
0:01:15 > 0:01:18attacking livestock, according to some.
0:01:18 > 0:01:23Thousands of small firms were mistreated by RBS in the financial
0:01:23 > 0:01:27crisis according to a report released by MPs. I will speak to one
0:01:27 > 0:01:31of the businesses affected by it.
0:01:31 > 0:01:34In sport, Great Britain's curlers have beaten reigning Olympic
0:01:34 > 0:01:36champions Canada to reach the women's semi finals in
0:01:36 > 0:01:37Pyeongchang.
0:01:37 > 0:01:42And Nick has the weather.
0:01:42 > 0:01:46Coldest to start the day in Scotland and Northern Ireland, with frost and
0:01:46 > 0:01:49a few freezing fog patches. More cloud for England and Wales. Damp
0:01:49 > 0:01:54and drizzly in a few spots. Lots of wine and dry weather to come for the
0:01:54 > 0:01:58rest of the week into the weekend, but it is definitely turning colder.
0:01:58 > 0:01:59Good morning.
0:01:59 > 0:02:01First, our main story.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04President Trump has signed an order to ban bump-stock devices,
0:02:04 > 0:02:07which were used by a gunman who killed 58 Las Vegas
0:02:07 > 0:02:09concert-goers last year.
0:02:09 > 0:02:11Mr Trump says legislation that outlaws equipment which turns
0:02:11 > 0:02:14rifles into machine-guns could be ready "very soon".
0:02:14 > 0:02:20David Willis reports.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25We don't know where the shoot is! The scenes are nothing new here, but
0:02:25 > 0:02:30last week's high school shooting in Florida has galvanised the debate on
0:02:30 > 0:02:35gun control in America in a way few here can remember. Students who
0:02:35 > 0:02:38survived an attack which killed 17 of their teachers and classmates are
0:02:38 > 0:02:44speaking out fluidly and forcefully. Do not let people try to get under
0:02:44 > 0:02:50your skin!Their youthful voices resonating where those of long
0:02:50 > 0:02:55serving politicians have largely fallen flat.We are what's bringing
0:02:55 > 0:02:58the change. We are going to keep talking. We are going to keep
0:02:58 > 0:03:02pushing until something is done, because people are dying and this
0:03:02 > 0:03:06can't happen any more.Reflecting the national mood of grief and anger
0:03:06 > 0:03:11in the wake of last week's shooting, President Trump, who supports gun
0:03:11 > 0:03:16ownership, offered a confession, a ban on a device used to devastating
0:03:16 > 0:03:21effect on the Las Vegas massacre last year.I signed a memorandum
0:03:21 > 0:03:26directing the attorney general the proposed regulations to ban all
0:03:26 > 0:03:33devices that turned legal weapons into machine-guns.Students arriving
0:03:33 > 0:03:36for a rally later today in the Florida state capital Tallahassee
0:03:36 > 0:03:41say that's not enough. Some are heading to Washington at the
0:03:41 > 0:03:47invitation of the White House to press the case for comprehensive gun
0:03:47 > 0:03:51reforms with the president himself. Some here are hailing it's a turning
0:03:51 > 0:03:55point in acrimonious debate around guns, at America has been here so
0:03:55 > 0:04:00many times before.
0:04:00 > 0:04:04The bombardment of the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta by the Syrian
0:04:04 > 0:04:06government and its allies has continued for a third day,
0:04:06 > 0:04:10prompting the United Nations to warn of the risk of a second Aleppo.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Reports suggest around 250 people have died following two
0:04:12 > 0:04:13days of attacks.
0:04:13 > 0:04:15According to activists, it is the worst violence
0:04:15 > 0:04:21in the Eastern Ghouta area near Damascus since 2013.
0:04:21 > 0:04:27Speaking from the area, one activist told the BBC this is as bad as it
0:04:27 > 0:04:30has ever been.
0:04:30 > 0:04:34The bombs are dropping on us like rain. There's nowhere to hide from
0:04:34 > 0:04:40this nightmare in Eastern Ghouta.
0:04:40 > 0:04:47We will be speaking to one agency to find out exactly what happening
0:04:47 > 0:04:49there later.
0:04:49 > 0:04:52A landmark ruling is being reviewed by the Supreme Court,
0:04:52 > 0:04:54over whether police are accountable for their failure to investigate
0:04:54 > 0:04:57victim's allegations of the black cab rapist John Worboys.
0:04:57 > 0:04:59Scotland Yard is appealing against a previous decision
0:04:59 > 0:05:02that they breached the human rights of two women whose testimony
0:05:02 > 0:05:03they failed to investigate properly.
0:05:03 > 0:05:05they failed to investigate properly.
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Our legal correspondent Clive Coleman reports
0:05:06 > 0:05:09on what could be a landmark case for victim's rights.
0:05:09 > 0:05:16The two women were sexually assaulted by John Worboys in 2003
0:05:16 > 0:05:21and 2007 but when they reported the attacks to the police they weren't
0:05:21 > 0:05:25believed. As a result of the police failures, he was able to continue to
0:05:25 > 0:05:31attack women until he was brought to justice in 2009. The High Court and
0:05:31 > 0:05:36Court of Appeal ruled the police had a duty under the Human Rights Act to
0:05:36 > 0:05:41investigate serious violence against women and could be held accountable
0:05:41 > 0:05:47in the courts if they failed in that duty. The women, who both suffered
0:05:47 > 0:05:51psychologically, were awarded £41,000 in total, which they'll keep
0:05:51 > 0:05:58in any event. But the net supported the then Home Secretary Theresa May
0:05:58 > 0:06:01appeal to the Supreme Court, arguing its duty was fulfilled simply by
0:06:01 > 0:06:08having practices and procedures to investigate in-place -- the Met. A
0:06:08 > 0:06:12victory for the women would be police forces could face human
0:06:12 > 0:06:15rights actions whenever they fail to properly investigate serious violent
0:06:15 > 0:06:17crime.
0:06:17 > 0:06:20Heavy drinking may be a major risk factor for the early
0:06:20 > 0:06:23onset of dementia.
0:06:23 > 0:06:25Scientists in France looked at 57,000 cases of dementia
0:06:25 > 0:06:28in people under 65 and found that a third could have
0:06:28 > 0:06:30been caused by alcohol-related brain damage.
0:06:30 > 0:06:36Ben Ando reports.
0:06:36 > 0:06:41This was a very large study. It is obviously a single study and we will
0:06:41 > 0:06:44have to look at whether the results can be generalised elsewhere. But
0:06:44 > 0:06:49potentially it has huge importance. This is potentially a preventable
0:06:49 > 0:06:54cause of dementia. So it might have very big public health implications.
0:06:54 > 0:06:58What all the indications for the way that we look after the health of
0:06:58 > 0:07:03people with alcohol use disorders.
0:07:03 > 0:07:05The majority of small and medium-sized companies
0:07:05 > 0:07:08are still paying male employees more than their female colleagues,
0:07:08 > 0:07:09according to the latest government figures.
0:07:09 > 0:07:12Companies have six weeks left to report their gender pay gap.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14So far almost 1,000 businesses have responded out
0:07:14 > 0:07:15of the 9,000 asked.
0:07:15 > 0:07:17Our business and consumer correspondent correspondent
0:07:17 > 0:07:18Nina Warhurst has more.
0:07:18 > 0:07:22It is time to answer the question - what does every man and woman
0:07:22 > 0:07:29in your company get paid?
0:07:29 > 0:07:32And if you like double their salaries, what is the figure
0:07:32 > 0:07:35in the middle of each sex, and what is the gap
0:07:35 > 0:07:36between those two figures?
0:07:36 > 0:07:39474% of companies this figure was higher for men, if deemed % higher
0:07:39 > 0:07:45for women.
0:07:45 > 0:07:47for women. -- 15%.
0:07:47 > 0:07:49What this data does not look at is any
0:07:49 > 0:07:52difference in salaries between men and women who were doing the same
0:07:52 > 0:07:53job.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57But what it does show is that while there were lots of women lower
0:07:57 > 0:08:00paid jobs, women aren't earning those big salaries in the same
0:08:00 > 0:08:02way as men.
0:08:02 > 0:08:05At Clydesdale Yorkshire bank, men earned 37% more than women.
0:08:05 > 0:08:07There was literally four days of meetings,
0:08:07 > 0:08:13and there was only one female in those four days.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16There were almost four times as many women in lower
0:08:16 > 0:08:16paid jobs.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18It has been lonely at times.
0:08:18 > 0:08:21I regularly find myself in positions where there is not nearly
0:08:21 > 0:08:22as many women.
0:08:22 > 0:08:24We have set ourselves a target.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28So by 2020, we want to make sure that there is 40% of women
0:08:28 > 0:08:32in our most senior roles.
0:08:32 > 0:08:35So I think that's quite bold, and I think everybody
0:08:35 > 0:08:37in financial services should be making those kinds of targets
0:08:37 > 0:08:41and progressing towards them.
0:08:41 > 0:08:45Six to ago, around 8,000 firms still to report,
0:08:45 > 0:08:48and then come the bigger questions: What exactly do the full
0:08:48 > 0:08:49figures tell us?
0:08:49 > 0:08:52And what should and can be done?
0:08:52 > 0:08:54More than 60 Brexit-supporting Conservative MPs have written
0:08:54 > 0:08:56to the Prime Minister, setting out what they believe
0:08:56 > 0:08:58Britain should achieve from a deal with Brussels.
0:08:58 > 0:09:01The MPs, from the European Research Group of Tory backbenchers,
0:09:01 > 0:09:04insist that Britain should be free to negotiate trade deals with other
0:09:04 > 0:09:07countries, as soon as it leaves the EU.
0:09:07 > 0:09:10Senior ministers will meet tomorrow to discuss what the government wants
0:09:10 > 0:09:13from the final Brexit deal.
0:09:13 > 0:09:16The impact of social media and screen use on young people's
0:09:16 > 0:09:20health is to be examined by MPs.
0:09:20 > 0:09:23The Science and Technology Committee will address mounting
0:09:23 > 0:09:25concerns that mobile phones, in particular, are harming children
0:09:25 > 0:09:28and young adults.
0:09:28 > 0:09:31The awards season is in full swing and tonight it's the turn
0:09:31 > 0:09:39of the music industry to celebrate with the Brit Awards.
0:09:41 > 0:09:4322-year-old Londoner Dua Lipa leads the way
0:09:43 > 0:09:45with five nominations, while eyes will also be
0:09:45 > 0:09:47on Ed Sheeran after his record breaking year.
0:09:47 > 0:09:53Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson reports.
0:09:53 > 0:09:57Dua Lipa's five Brits nominations are the most ever in one year by a
0:09:57 > 0:10:02female artist. The 22-year-old London had a number one with New
0:10:02 > 0:10:08Rules and is heading towards 200,000 sales of her debut. At the moment
0:10:08 > 0:10:11she is bigger than Beyonce, Taylor Swift and Rihanna and she has what
0:10:11 > 0:10:15all of those huge American artist has.She is not workshy, she will
0:10:15 > 0:10:20turn up and do the interviews and promo and she will spend 24 hours
0:10:20 > 0:10:28doing a video and extreme focused pretty for seven.-- 24 seven. But
0:10:28 > 0:10:32the night's biggest award Album of the Year is expected to go to Ed
0:10:32 > 0:10:37Sheeran. Divide was number one for a third of last year and it will be a
0:10:37 > 0:10:46major shock if it did not win.You will keep a secret saviour. You will
0:10:46 > 0:10:51keep the paraphernalia...One man isn't happy about the BRIT Awards is
0:10:51 > 0:10:56Liam Gallagher, who is nominated for best male, but is furious that he
0:10:56 > 0:11:02hasn't been asked to perform and says the Brits have ballooned it and
0:11:02 > 0:11:07are too scared to let him onstage. And unlike at busters were almost
0:11:07 > 0:11:11every actress wore black on the red carpet, at the Brits expect a
0:11:11 > 0:11:18variety of outfits. Instead acts are being asked to wear a a white rose
0:11:18 > 0:11:23pin if they want to show solidarity for anti-harassment movements.
0:11:23 > 0:11:26The Queen has attended London Fashion Week for the first
0:11:26 > 0:11:27time in her 66 year reign.
0:11:27 > 0:11:31Her Majesty sat in the front row of a show by an up and coming
0:11:31 > 0:11:36designer Richard Quinn, next to the woman often hailed
0:11:36 > 0:11:41as the 'queen of fashion', Vogue magazine's Anna Wintour.
0:11:41 > 0:11:46Do you know what was interesting? She is wearing sunglasses and the
0:11:46 > 0:11:51Queen is fully wrapped up, with gloves.
0:11:51 > 0:11:56I will show you later there are a few pictures of her on the front
0:11:56 > 0:12:00pages and I think it is one of those things, get her looking miserable.
0:12:00 > 0:12:04I am sure she loved it. There's loads of footage of her
0:12:04 > 0:12:09smiling.
0:12:11 > 0:12:15Nick will have the weather forecast, but now we want to talk about the
0:12:15 > 0:12:17Winter Olympics. Is it another morning of curling?
0:12:17 > 0:12:23It is! You won't have it tomorrow, so enjoy it today. Great Britain's
0:12:23 > 0:12:26women are through to the semifinals, beating the reigning champions. It
0:12:26 > 0:12:33was a narrow win, but beating Canada is a big deal. They can have a day
0:12:33 > 0:12:36off tomorrow now because they are through and the men are now trying
0:12:36 > 0:12:45to do the same. Canada led for most of the contest.
0:12:45 > 0:12:48Eve Muirhead and co, who won bronze at the last Games,
0:12:48 > 0:12:51took the last end by two stones to win 6-5.
0:12:51 > 0:12:53The men's team are trying to join them.
0:12:53 > 0:12:55They're currently playing their final group match
0:12:55 > 0:12:56against the USA.
0:12:56 > 0:12:58There was a great performance from snowboader Billy Morgan
0:12:58 > 0:13:00in the big air event too.
0:13:00 > 0:13:04The Brit is in Saturday's final after taking the final qualification
0:13:04 > 0:13:04spot in his heat.
0:13:04 > 0:13:07A Lionel Messi goal denied Chelsea victory against Barcelona
0:13:07 > 0:13:09in the last 16 of the Champions League.
0:13:09 > 0:13:11Chelsea had earlier led through Willian at Stamford Bridge
0:13:11 > 0:13:16before Messi's vital away goal.
0:13:16 > 0:13:24And England women head coach Phil Neville has named
0:13:24 > 0:13:27Chelsea's Anita Asante in his first squad for next month's She Believes
0:13:27 > 0:13:27Cup.
0:13:27 > 0:13:30Asante was one of several players who'd said they'd been poorly
0:13:30 > 0:13:33treated by previous boss Mark Sampson.
0:13:33 > 0:13:38I was going to say, surely there is a better clip of her than just
0:13:38 > 0:13:42missing a goal? Let's dig something nice out. I will
0:13:42 > 0:13:47do my very best. It wasn't me! We can't blame Nick
0:13:47 > 0:13:54for any of the clips he is going to show us this morning. A
0:13:54 > 0:13:55for any of the clips he is going to show us this morning. A frost to
0:13:55 > 0:13:59start the day in Scotland and Northern Ireland, freezing fog
0:13:59 > 0:14:04patches, a lot of cloud in England and Wales, damp and drizzly but dry
0:14:04 > 0:14:08weather generally and where you have cloud it should gradually brighten
0:14:08 > 0:14:13up, not much sunshine but brightening up a bit. Looking at the
0:14:13 > 0:14:16satellite, cloud moving around an area of high pressure on a
0:14:16 > 0:14:20north-easterly breeze, the bulk of the cloud is filtering in to England
0:14:20 > 0:14:24and Wales. A bit damp in a few spots, parts of the Midlands and
0:14:24 > 0:14:29northern England, the chance of further drizzle. Probably western
0:14:29 > 0:14:33fringes of England and Wales seeing sunny spells, as well as the far
0:14:33 > 0:14:37south-east. Fog patches slow to clear in Northern Ireland, sunny
0:14:37 > 0:14:44spells in Scotland. Light winds, temperatures starting to edge down,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48rise of seven to nine. A few spots yesterday getting into double
0:14:48 > 0:14:55figures. Tonight more breaks in the cloud, more of the land showing up,
0:14:55 > 0:14:58cloud free, that will allow temperatures to drop away more
0:14:58 > 0:15:03widely than last night. More of a widespread frost going into tomorrow
0:15:03 > 0:15:07morning, more blue showing the frost, temperatures at all a few
0:15:07 > 0:15:10degrees below freezing. Many will be clear and sunny to start tomorrow,
0:15:10 > 0:15:15there will be some freezing fog. With very light breezes, they will
0:15:15 > 0:15:21be slow to clear. When they do, some sunny spells, some areas of cloud,
0:15:21 > 0:15:25the vast majority having a dry day tomorrow but the breeze picks up a
0:15:25 > 0:15:28bit for Northern Ireland into western Scotland, enough cloud here
0:15:28 > 0:15:33to produce a few light showers and those temperatures again leaking a
0:15:33 > 0:15:36degree or so through the day tomorrow. This is how Friday is
0:15:36 > 0:15:40shaping up, the wind arrows coming in from the continent, that's an
0:15:40 > 0:15:45area where we get dry air coming in, which means generally cloud free.
0:15:45 > 0:15:49After a frosty start, a good deal of sunshine around on Friday, more
0:15:49 > 0:15:53cloud in Northern Ireland and western Scotland. This is the setup
0:15:53 > 0:15:57for the weekend, high pressure in Scandinavia, the flow of air around
0:15:57 > 0:16:01that coming from the east to the UK, not a One Direction and the breeze
0:16:01 > 0:16:08picking up. For the weekend, a lot of sunshine on Saturday -- warm
0:16:08 > 0:16:13direction. This is the forecast for four locations in the weekend, the
0:16:13 > 0:16:17general picture is the same for the UK, lots of sunshine on Saturday,
0:16:17 > 0:16:22goods police spells on Sunday but the temperatures coming down -- good
0:16:22 > 0:16:27sunny spells. A cold wind but you haven't seen anything yet, still
0:16:27 > 0:16:32expecting bitter cold on the way next week.
0:16:32 > 0:16:37Let's look at the papers. Have you got one?Let's start on the front
0:16:37 > 0:16:42page of the Metro son, a Strictly Come Dancing exclusive, you may
0:16:42 > 0:16:47remember Brendan Cole, one of the long-running dancers on Strictly
0:16:47 > 0:16:53Come Dancing, has not been asked to return for 2019 -- the Sun. The
0:16:53 > 0:16:59reason he's been asked not to come back is he ignored protocol when
0:16:59 > 0:17:03some of the dances visited Buckingham Palace and he asked the
0:17:03 > 0:17:06Duchess to dance for a festive special. Strictly sources said it

0:17:20 > 0:17:26Times.
0:17:26 > 0:17:31Times. And charities in crisis with Oxfam. And the front page of the
0:17:31 > 0:17:34Daily Mail, its main story saying a new financial watchdog is a taxable
0:17:34 > 0:17:44under. Looking at the regulator, the man... Has admitted to using a tax
0:17:44 > 0:17:55scheme that helped cut tax bills. He was made to pay back £140,000 back
0:17:55 > 0:18:00to the taxman plus interest. The Telegraph, the Queen and Anna
0:18:00 > 0:18:04Wintour on the front cover, then she is looking a bit cheerier at London
0:18:04 > 0:18:07Fashion Week and the same story about charity, Save the Children
0:18:07 > 0:18:12boss in text scandal. He admitted sending inappropriate messages to
0:18:12 > 0:18:19staff. Ecole insight from Allison Pearson who said admit it, we are
0:18:19 > 0:18:24rubbish at the Winter Olympics -- Ecole inside. Is that about Elise
0:18:24 > 0:18:31Christie?-- Ecole inside. Her agony from yesterday is all over the
0:18:31 > 0:18:35papers -- Ecole.
0:18:35 > 0:18:40You can't argue she isn't a fighter, she has vowed to come back in
0:18:40 > 0:18:46Beijing in four years. In the Guardian, Sean Ingle, who is in
0:18:46 > 0:18:49Pyeongchang, has talked about whether it is bad luck or bad
0:18:49 > 0:18:53racing, having re- watched all the races there is a case to be mad her
0:18:53 > 0:18:58all or nothing approach narrows the margins by two great a margin --
0:18:58 > 0:19:09made. -- too. It's on the BBC website, the three and a half was
0:19:09 > 0:19:14watching her yesterday, the mum said she is a great role model because
0:19:14 > 0:19:18learning how to deal with failure is part we should be learning and
0:19:18 > 0:19:22especially children -- three and a half -year-old.Is that what Pearson
0:19:22 > 0:19:29says?She said we are rubbish at Winter sports -- is that what
0:19:29 > 0:19:36Allison Pearson says.It's one of those things where I suppose her
0:19:36 > 0:19:39editor probably asked her to be horrible about the Winter Olympics.
0:19:39 > 0:19:50Steph?KFC, it's going on still, still no chicken. Interesting twists
0:19:50 > 0:19:55on it, Tower Hamlets police had to put out a tweet yesterday to warn
0:19:55 > 0:19:59people to stop calling them about the KFC closures. How shocking is
0:19:59 > 0:20:06that? People were ringing up to complain about it. An MP was saying
0:20:06 > 0:20:10he had received complaints from angry customers as well. Still a lot
0:20:10 > 0:20:16of that. I'll be talking later about the latest on it, we will talk to
0:20:16 > 0:20:21one of the unions. This is all to do with their supply chain. I know Sean
0:20:21 > 0:20:24was talking about it yesterday, we have to look more about what's going
0:20:24 > 0:20:28on and how they are going to solve it because there are problems still
0:20:28 > 0:20:32today that could continue for some time.Do you remember when school
0:20:32 > 0:20:39got closed for various reasons? Snow?Inset day.Can you imagine
0:20:39 > 0:20:44school being closed because of a mouse? A school was shot by its head
0:20:44 > 0:20:50yesterday because mice had been spotted. Parents got an e-mail
0:20:50 > 0:20:55saying their health and safety situation needed to be action
0:20:55 > 0:21:00immediately.Mice as opposed to rats? That's interesting, I'm sure
0:21:00 > 0:21:07we had loads of mice. There are mice here. We could have a day of mag
0:21:07 > 0:21:15tomorrow, couldn't we?The mice could present. -- day off.We talk
0:21:15 > 0:21:19about fad diets, just opted, according to new research. The only
0:21:19 > 0:21:23way to lose weight consistently is to avoid processed convenience food
0:21:23 > 0:21:32and eat less.Easier said than done. Quite logical. You need to go the
0:21:32 > 0:21:36French technique, you have a plate of food, eat half and if you are
0:21:36 > 0:21:43still hungry, carry on.There are lots of books about the French way
0:21:43 > 0:21:44of eating.
0:21:44 > 0:21:48There's a call for a dog DNA database to be established to help
0:21:48 > 0:21:52catch animals suspected of killing livestock.
0:21:52 > 0:21:55The National Police Chiefs Council also wants to be able
0:21:55 > 0:21:57to search properties and confiscate repeat offender dogs
0:21:57 > 0:21:58from their owners.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01Breakfast's John Maguire is on a farm in North Wales and has
0:22:01 > 0:22:03more detail for us this morning.
0:22:03 > 0:22:10Good morning, good morning to everyone at home. This young bull
0:22:10 > 0:22:15calf, less than 24 hours old. He was born yesterday afternoon. There are
0:22:15 > 0:22:20cattle on this farm and a lot of sheep, it's a traditional Welsh hill
0:22:20 > 0:22:26farm with sheep out in the fields. The situation is there's a serious
0:22:26 > 0:22:31problem across the UK, it's a crucial time of year with many of
0:22:31 > 0:22:37the ewes in lamb. If a dog gets in amongst them and chases them, it
0:22:37 > 0:22:42might attack livestock, and you might find a situation where the
0:22:42 > 0:22:46lambs are lost because the ewes get into distress. It's a huge problem
0:22:46 > 0:22:50nationwide but one that now senior police chiefs are saying it's time
0:22:50 > 0:22:53to get a grip on.
0:22:53 > 0:22:57He's only 16 but Alfie is already learning about some of the harsh
0:22:57 > 0:23:03realities of farming. Two of his pedigree sheep were attacked by a
0:23:03 > 0:23:07dog. The Harriet family graze their sheep on the south downs and have
0:23:07 > 0:23:13had several incidents.It's just that throat wound on a bit concerned
0:23:13 > 0:23:17about still. It's very upsetting. The trauma that the sheep have gone
0:23:17 > 0:23:22through. As I say, we're not going to quite know yet how much this has
0:23:22 > 0:23:27impacted but it's not the first incident we have had. We've had two,
0:23:27 > 0:23:30three, four throughout the year. Only yesterday I went up there and
0:23:30 > 0:23:35there were more dogs of the league, you ask them nicely to put their dog
0:23:35 > 0:23:39on the lead, they say my dog isn't like that, that's all you get and
0:23:39 > 0:23:44they won't do it.This video shows the dog tracing the ewes before
0:23:44 > 0:23:47biting them and days later it returned to attack against Obika
0:23:47 > 0:23:53it's all about taking DNA samples? Absolutely.John Carter is a
0:23:53 > 0:23:56wildlife and rural officer for Sussex Police who started using
0:23:56 > 0:24:00forensic science to tackle the problem.We take the swap out, Rob
0:24:00 > 0:24:04that around the bite wound of where the dogs attacked the sheep, put it
0:24:04 > 0:24:10back in the two, fill out the details, send it to the lab and if
0:24:10 > 0:24:14we have a dog we can match it to we take another swap from the dog and
0:24:14 > 0:24:21match the two samples.Now the most senior officers has published a
0:24:21 > 0:24:26report calling for a DNA database of dogs. It once a law to force owners
0:24:26 > 0:24:32to use the fixed bleeds in livestock areas and tougher sanctions,
0:24:32 > 0:24:37possibly using Crown Courts, not just magistrates.We have put
0:24:37 > 0:24:41various recommendations that you would hope the legislations and
0:24:41 > 0:24:44politicians would take heed of an work with us to improve the
0:24:44 > 0:24:48situation.Although police chiefs argue the current law is inadequate,
0:24:48 > 0:24:53it allows farmers to shoot dogs that are found attacking livestock so
0:24:53 > 0:24:57reducing the huge number of incidents would ease the stress and
0:24:57 > 0:25:04suffering not just on farmers but also on dog owners.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Five rural police forces did research over the last four years
0:25:09 > 0:25:17and found in 92% of cases dogs were shot. Good morning, Gareth. We've
0:25:17 > 0:25:23met you many times before, how much of a problem is this?Massive. We
0:25:23 > 0:25:28get people leaving their dogs off the lead and chasing sheep. It is
0:25:28 > 0:25:33hard for us. I have had to shoot a dog myself and it is not a nice
0:25:33 > 0:25:38feeling. Taking that dog back to the owner isn't something I ever wanted
0:25:38 > 0:25:44to do. I'm a dog lover. People have got to take this into their own
0:25:44 > 0:25:47hands and respect the countryside and understand that dogs need to be
0:25:47 > 0:25:54on the lead and not running freely around livestock.What the police
0:25:54 > 0:25:57officers also found is a lot of the time dogs are escaping from gardens,
0:25:57 > 0:26:00sensing isn't good enough, they are getting out and coming back and even
0:26:00 > 0:26:05the owners are realising this.Lots of people work shifts so they might
0:26:05 > 0:26:11go off in the morning or in the evening and leave little rover in
0:26:11 > 0:26:15the garden, he might jump over the fence and if there are sheep around,
0:26:15 > 0:26:19it's natural for the dog to herd, chase or kill, you can't blame the
0:26:19 > 0:26:24dog. It's the responsibility of the owner to make sure the dog is safe.
0:26:24 > 0:26:28They could come home not knowing anything has happened and the dog
0:26:28 > 0:26:31could be sitting in the garden and it could have killed five or six
0:26:31 > 0:26:36sheep in that afternoon. They have to take that responsibility.Gareth,
0:26:36 > 0:26:40thanks very much. We will see much more of Gareth later and some
0:26:40 > 0:26:44fantastic views because this is a wonderful part of the world on the
0:26:44 > 0:26:48North Wales coast, some incredible vistas here. One last point, one of
0:26:48 > 0:26:51the biggest incidents the police forces found over the last four
0:26:51 > 0:26:56years found one case where £20,000 worth of damage was done on one
0:26:56 > 0:27:01farm. That's a big impact on a farmer's livelihood.Certainly is.
0:27:01 > 0:27:06Thanks very much. An interesting point from the farmer, I talk to a
0:27:06 > 0:27:11friend yesterday who had a rescue dog, had no idea of the history of
0:27:11 > 0:27:14the dog, went out and about and found the dog was vicious when it
0:27:14 > 0:27:17came to other animals even though it was lovely with children and other
0:27:17 > 0:27:22people. It's difficult for dog owners as well to know what the
0:27:22 > 0:27:25personalities are like until they have let them off the leash. Nobody
0:27:25 > 0:27:29wants to see that.
0:27:29 > 0:27:33We will get some news, travel and weather wherever you're watching
0:27:33 > 0:30:52this
0:30:52 > 0:30:53That's all from me for now.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
0:30:56 > 0:30:57in half an hour.
0:30:57 > 0:31:00Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
0:31:00 > 0:31:00Bye for now.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty.
0:31:06 > 0:31:12We'll bring you the latest news and sport in just a moment.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Coming up this morning: It's the fast food chain that
0:31:15 > 0:31:18claims its chicken is "finger lickin' good", but KFC customers
0:31:18 > 0:31:21can't get their hands on the goods because of a shortage
0:31:21 > 0:31:24of the main ingredient.
0:31:24 > 0:31:28We'll speak to the union that warned the Colonel that switching suppliers
0:31:28 > 0:31:28would cause chaos.
0:31:28 > 0:31:31Creating an atmosphere of dignity at a difficult time.
0:31:31 > 0:31:34We'll look at how special 'compassion' symbols in hospitals
0:31:34 > 0:31:39are encouraging staff and visitors to be more respectful to patients
0:31:39 > 0:31:43and families facing the final days of their lives.
0:31:43 > 0:31:47Nicknamed 'The King of Bling' by the tabloids for his lavish
0:31:47 > 0:31:51lifestyle, we'll be joined on the sofa by the former England
0:31:51 > 0:31:54international Kieron Dyer, who'll talk to us about his
0:31:54 > 0:31:57searingly honest autobiography.
0:31:57 > 0:31:58Good morning.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
0:32:01 > 0:32:03President Trump has signed an order to ban bump-stock devices,
0:32:03 > 0:32:06which were used by a gunman who killed 58 Las Vegas
0:32:06 > 0:32:08concert-goers last year.
0:32:08 > 0:32:11Mr Trump says legislation that outlaws equipment which turns
0:32:11 > 0:32:19rifles into machine-guns could be ready "very soon".
0:32:21 > 0:32:25It comes after many students will march in Tallahassee after 17
0:32:25 > 0:32:29students were killed last week.
0:32:29 > 0:32:33Just a few moments ago I signed a memorandum directing the attorney
0:32:33 > 0:32:37general the proposed regulations to ban all devices that turn legal
0:32:37 > 0:32:44weapons into. I expect that these critical regulations will be
0:32:44 > 0:32:47finalised very soon.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50The bombardment of the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta by the Syrian
0:32:50 > 0:32:53government and its allies has continued for a third day,
0:32:53 > 0:32:57prompting the United Nations to warn of the risk of a second Aleppo.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Reports suggest around 250 people have died following two
0:32:59 > 0:33:02days of attacks.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05According to activists, it's the worst violence in the area
0:33:05 > 0:33:09near Damascus since 2013.
0:33:09 > 0:33:12Speaking from one area, one activist told the BBC this
0:33:12 > 0:33:13is as bad as it's been.
0:33:13 > 0:33:16Heavy drinking may be a major risk factor for the early
0:33:16 > 0:33:17onset of dementia.
0:33:17 > 0:33:20Scientists in France looked at 57,000 cases of dementia
0:33:20 > 0:33:23in people under 65 and found that a third could have
0:33:23 > 0:33:24been caused by alcohol-related brain damage.
0:33:24 > 0:33:30Ben Ando reports.
0:33:30 > 0:33:34Doctors already know heavy drinking can lead to problems in the brain,
0:33:34 > 0:33:38but this study focused on links specifically to early onset
0:33:38 > 0:33:42dementia, that means affecting people younger than 65. Researchers
0:33:42 > 0:33:46analysed the medical records of more than 30 million people in France,
0:33:46 > 0:33:52who spent time in hospital during 2008 and 2013. They published the
0:33:52 > 0:33:55results in the Lancet health journal. In that nationwide group
0:33:55 > 0:34:01they found 1 million people with dementia and of these 57,000 were
0:34:01 > 0:34:07under 65. Among those people, heavy drinking was linked to 39% or nearly
0:34:07 > 0:34:11one in four cases. For this study heavy drinking was defined as a
0:34:11 > 0:34:15daily intake of more than four units of alcohol for women and six for
0:34:15 > 0:34:20men, that's the equivalent of three pints of the year. Previous research
0:34:20 > 0:34:24has suggested that drinking small amounts, particularly of red wine,
0:34:24 > 0:34:29can have a positive effect.Those studies really focus on modest
0:34:29 > 0:34:33levels of alcohol intake, perhaps one or two units a day, and perhaps
0:34:33 > 0:34:37that has lulled people into a false sense of security and perhaps we
0:34:37 > 0:34:41haven't seen the other side of the curb, where people have high levels
0:34:41 > 0:34:45of alcohol consumption which can be harmful to the brain in a variety of
0:34:45 > 0:34:49ways. -- other side of the curve. The Alzheimer's Society says it is
0:34:49 > 0:34:53aware of the risks of heavy drinking and its advice remains the same, try
0:34:53 > 0:35:01to drink no more than 14 units of alcohol were weak.
0:35:04 > 0:35:08The High Court is looking at whether police failed to investigate John
0:35:08 > 0:35:11Worboys properly. Scotland Yard is appealing against a previous
0:35:11 > 0:35:15decision that they breached the human rights of two women whose
0:35:15 > 0:35:19destiny they failed to investigate properly. The Metropolitan police
0:35:19 > 0:35:22says it had procedures and practices in place. If the ruling is upheld
0:35:22 > 0:35:24this could be a land
0:35:24 > 0:35:28nutcase for victims apostasy rights. Liberal Democrat peer has resigned
0:35:28 > 0:35:32from his role because of allegations of sexual harassment. Lord Lester
0:35:32 > 0:35:37will be investigated by the House of Lords commission. He has denied the
0:35:37 > 0:35:41allegations which have been described as historical and he says
0:35:41 > 0:35:44he will contest them vigorously.
0:35:44 > 0:35:47More than 60 Brexit supporting Conservative MPs have written to the
0:35:47 > 0:35:50Prime Minister, setting out what they believe written should achieve
0:35:50 > 0:35:56from the deal with Brussels. MPs insist that Britain should be free
0:35:56 > 0:36:01to negotiate trade deals with other countries as soon as it leaves the
0:36:01 > 0:36:03EU. Senior ministers will meet tomorrow to discuss what the
0:36:03 > 0:36:08government wants from the final Brexit deal.
0:36:08 > 0:36:09The awards season in full swing.
0:36:09 > 0:36:12Tonight it's the turn of the music industry's BRIT Awards,
0:36:12 > 0:36:15with the great and the good of the pop world hoping
0:36:15 > 0:36:22to bag a trophy.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24Dua Lipa is leading the way with the highest number
0:36:24 > 0:36:30of nominations ever given to a female artist in one year.
0:36:30 > 0:36:33Seven in total.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36The 22-year-old had a number one with New Rules and is heading
0:36:36 > 0:36:40towards 200,000 sales of her debut.
0:36:40 > 0:36:46You will hear a full preview of the BRIT Awards later. And one thing you
0:36:46 > 0:36:51mention is that Liam Gallagher is a bit annoyed because he hasn't been
0:36:51 > 0:36:58asked to perform. I did an interview with him two
0:36:58 > 0:37:02years ago and we have to have a pre-recorded and the editing
0:37:02 > 0:37:06required... Was a substantial?
0:37:06 > 0:37:11Halfway through I said, if you want all of this to get out, you have to
0:37:11 > 0:37:14reduce your swearing little bit because it is really hard to edit in
0:37:14 > 0:37:18between. He told me to go somewhere. In the
0:37:18 > 0:37:24nicest possible way... I'm sure. I will tell you who is going nowhere
0:37:24 > 0:37:28at the moment, the women's curling team!
0:37:28 > 0:37:30They are doing well? Into the semifinals.
0:37:30 > 0:37:34And what about the men? We are trying to join them. I'm just
0:37:34 > 0:37:39having a look. We will dip into live pictures.
0:37:39 > 0:37:45I'm getting ahead of myself! It's fine. What they beat the reigning
0:37:45 > 0:37:50champions, the Olympic champions, Canada, the quite a big deal. They
0:37:50 > 0:37:54had to come from behind, so quite a dramatic match, but they are into
0:37:54 > 0:38:00the semifinals. Canada led for most of the contest.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04Eve Muirhead and co were behind going into the final end but pulled
0:38:04 > 0:38:06it out of the bag to win 6-5.
0:38:06 > 0:38:13It will be the first time that Canada's women weren't win a medal.
0:38:13 > 0:38:20The men are going for a win in the semifinals as well. They are playing
0:38:20 > 0:38:27in the semifinals against the US and after five ends the Americans lead
0:38:27 > 0:38:305-4.
0:38:30 > 0:38:33And there was great news for Billy Morgan overnight in "big
0:38:33 > 0:38:37air" - pretty obvious why it's called that when you look at this.
0:38:37 > 0:38:40The Briton is in Saturday's final after taking the final qualification
0:38:40 > 0:38:41spot in his heat.
0:38:41 > 0:38:43Jamie Nicholls and Rowan Coultas missed out though.
0:38:43 > 0:38:45But Lindsey Vonn, the most successful female downhill skier
0:38:45 > 0:38:49in history, couldn't take the gold in what looks like her final Olympic
0:38:49 > 0:38:50Games.
0:38:50 > 0:38:52The American earned bronze, with Italy's Sofia Goggia
0:38:52 > 0:38:53taking top spot.
0:38:53 > 0:39:01Elise Christie's hopes of a medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics are over
0:39:01 > 0:39:04after she was disqualified in her 1,000m short track heat yesterday.
0:39:04 > 0:39:06She's had an awful games with crashes, injury and then
0:39:06 > 0:39:14that disqualification yesterday.
0:39:16 > 0:39:19The 27-year-old appeared to be in pain at times because of an ankle
0:39:19 > 0:39:25injury sustained in a crash in the 1500 metres on Saturday.
0:39:25 > 0:39:29I worked so hard to come back from this injury. I think 1000 people
0:39:29 > 0:39:35wouldn't have skated with my ankle the way it was. I could barely bend
0:39:35 > 0:39:40my knee. It's just... The only thing I can say is I promise Britain I
0:39:40 > 0:39:45will fight back from this and I will come back for Beijing. And hopefully
0:39:45 > 0:39:49I can do Britain proud then.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53It was a case of so near but so far for Chelsea in the Champions League,
0:39:53 > 0:40:00with Lionel Messi denying them a great win at Stamford Bridge.
0:40:00 > 0:40:04Chelsea had the better of the chances and eventually took the lead
0:40:04 > 0:40:06through Willian.
0:40:06 > 0:40:11But the Spanish giants came on strong and Messi capitalised
0:40:11 > 0:40:15on a Chelsea error to make it 1-1 and give Barcelona an important away
0:40:15 > 0:40:16goal going into the second leg.
0:40:16 > 0:40:32One mistake. Art as you know very well against these types of players,
0:40:32 > 0:40:36Lionel Messi and Louis Suarez, if you make a mistake you pay.
0:40:36 > 0:40:38England women head coach Phil Neville has named
0:40:38 > 0:40:40Chelsea's Anita Asante in his first squad for next month's
0:40:40 > 0:40:42SheBelieves Cup in the United States.
0:40:42 > 0:40:50Asante, who was last called up in 2015, was one of several players
0:40:50 > 0:40:53who said they were poorly treated by previous boss Mark Sampson.
0:40:53 > 0:40:56Injured skipper Steph Houghton has also been named in the squad.
0:40:56 > 0:40:59And, finally, lots of you have been posting videos of yourselves giving
0:40:59 > 0:41:02curling a go at home, but you can always go
0:41:02 > 0:41:03a little further.
0:41:03 > 0:41:06Here's someone that has taken their obsession with the Games
0:41:06 > 0:41:08to a new level.
0:41:08 > 0:41:10Personal trainer Frank has recreated almost every Winter Olympic sport
0:41:10 > 0:41:17in his gym and certainly deserves a gold medal for his efforts.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22Can you name them? That was short track speed skating.
0:41:22 > 0:41:27A bit of boarding and a bit of curling.
0:41:27 > 0:41:33Gold, silver or bronze for him? No place on the podium, I'm afraid.
0:41:33 > 0:41:39He has probably built a podium! See you later.
0:41:39 > 0:41:54Don't forget, Nick will have the weather in about five minutes.
0:41:54 > 0:41:56Social media and smart phones go hand in hand,
0:41:56 > 0:42:00as 95% of 15-year-olds in the UK use digital platforms before
0:42:00 > 0:42:01or after school,
0:42:01 > 0:42:02that's according to the Education Policy Institute.
0:42:02 > 0:42:05Norman Lamb is the chair of the Science and Technology
0:42:05 > 0:42:07Committee, he joins us now from Westminster.
0:42:07 > 0:42:11Thank you for your time this morning. Good morning. An enquiry.
0:42:11 > 0:42:18Surely we know that if 95% of children are using social media
0:42:18 > 0:42:21sites, shouldn't it be time to take action rather than look into what
0:42:21 > 0:42:26needs to be done in order to take action?One of the good things about
0:42:26 > 0:42:29this committee is we look at the evidence and we do have some
0:42:29 > 0:42:33evidence but there are also some gaps and I think what's clear is
0:42:33 > 0:42:38we've all gone through a revolution over the last 15 years. Our lives
0:42:38 > 0:42:43have changed dramatically. Children's lives have changed,
0:42:43 > 0:42:46compared to what earlier generations went through in terms of the
0:42:46 > 0:42:52intensity of use of mobile phones, smart phones, social media. We need
0:42:52 > 0:42:56to understand what the effects of that are, positive and negative,
0:42:56 > 0:43:00because it's important not just think of this as a problem. And of
0:43:00 > 0:43:03course for many young people they are now getting access to help with
0:43:03 > 0:43:09mental health problems, for example, online. Nearly 80% of children and
0:43:09 > 0:43:15young people contact ChildLine online. So there are beneficial
0:43:15 > 0:43:19effects as well is harmful effect is, but we need to understand all of
0:43:19 > 0:43:23this and I think we need to make sure that the government is doing
0:43:23 > 0:43:29all it should be doing and indeed all the companies, the Facebooks of
0:43:29 > 0:43:36this world, up protecting children. You mentioned there are positives,
0:43:36 > 0:43:39but let's focus for a moment on the negatives. You mentioned Facebook.
0:43:39 > 0:43:46There is a policy of allowing those of the aged 13 and above to go
0:43:46 > 0:43:50online, but there are doubts about how effectively this is policed.
0:43:50 > 0:43:54Whose fault is it if there is a child who was adopted to social
0:43:54 > 0:43:59media he doesn't know the limits, or is exposed to attention, sexual
0:43:59 > 0:44:03predatory attention, that they shouldn't have to be exposed to
0:44:03 > 0:44:06predatory attention, that they shouldn't have to be exposed to?You
0:44:06 > 0:44:12have highlighted one of the issues we will be looking at. It was found
0:44:12 > 0:44:17that over one third, about 37%, of 15 new roles are extreme in users,
0:44:17 > 0:44:24in other words using... Been online for more than six hours a day, and
0:44:24 > 0:44:28associated with that are mental health problems, increased risk of
0:44:28 > 0:44:33harm, the whole issue of grooming. So the question then is what more
0:44:33 > 0:44:37could companies like Facebook be doing to protect children? What
0:44:37 > 0:44:41should government be doing in terms of setting the regulatory framework?
0:44:41 > 0:44:45These are the kinds of things we will be looking at and incidentally
0:44:45 > 0:44:50we are very keen to hear from young people, as well as the experts, in
0:44:50 > 0:44:53understanding exactly what's going on over there.You are father of
0:44:53 > 0:44:59two.You've been doing your research!We have been known to do
0:44:59 > 0:45:05it! Children slightly older than teenage age, what you know how
0:45:05 > 0:45:09difficult it can be to communicate your concerns effectively to a child
0:45:09 > 0:45:12who thinks they know best and that you don't understand their world.
0:45:12 > 0:45:17This is what happening a lot of the time when parents try to police or
0:45:17 > 0:45:21at least understand what they are seeing on social media and
0:45:21 > 0:45:26understand the different world they are in.
0:45:26 > 0:45:30I totally agree, lots of families, including ours, have struggled with
0:45:30 > 0:45:35this, knowing where to set boundaries. Remember also that
0:45:35 > 0:45:42parents aren't always perfect in terms of their use of social media
0:45:42 > 0:45:46and indeed their use of smart phones. Sometimes you see people
0:45:46 > 0:45:49walking down the street, the parent on the smart phone with two small
0:45:49 > 0:45:54children by their side not really concentrating much on the children.
0:45:54 > 0:45:59There's issues for all of us here. It's a fascinating area. As I say,
0:45:59 > 0:46:03the world has changed completely in the space of not much more than a
0:46:03 > 0:46:07decade. The idea that this revolution has happened without it
0:46:07 > 0:46:13having an effect, potentially positive and negative, is fanciful,
0:46:13 > 0:46:17so let's try and understand it better.Norman Lamb, chair of the
0:46:17 > 0:46:21science and technology committee, thanks for your time.Thanks very
0:46:21 > 0:46:23much.Let us know what you think of that.
0:46:23 > 0:46:28You can find us on social media if you want to know about that.
0:46:28 > 0:46:33Here's Nick with a look at this morning's weather.
0:46:33 > 0:46:37Some gorgeous blue skies over London, is that what London is
0:46:37 > 0:46:38seeing this morning?
0:46:39 > 0:46:44Will be a few brighter spells for the rest of the UK as well, -- there
0:46:44 > 0:46:48will be. Lots of fine and dry weather to come, not just today but
0:46:48 > 0:46:52for the rest of the week into the weekend. Turning colder but next
0:46:52 > 0:46:56week is where in the proper cold air comes in, a gradual step down each
0:46:56 > 0:47:02day in terms of the temperatures. Some cloud around to start the day,
0:47:02 > 0:47:06especially England and Wales, clear skies in Scotland with frost, patchy
0:47:06 > 0:47:09fog in Northern Ireland and here's the cloud from the north-east into
0:47:09 > 0:47:14England and Wales, Western Candice of England and Wales seeing sunshine
0:47:14 > 0:47:19today, maybe into Kent, the slight chance of a shower and then thicker
0:47:19 > 0:47:22cloud at times in the Midlands and northern England, maybe a bit of
0:47:22 > 0:47:26drizzle, that's how we start. Northern Ireland, a few fog patches,
0:47:26 > 0:47:31some slow to clear, sunny spells in Scotland, a few fog patches as well
0:47:31 > 0:47:34but lots of fine dry weather on the way with temperatures rooted into
0:47:34 > 0:47:40single figures. Around 6-9, only getting lower. A steady slow process
0:47:40 > 0:47:44until the real cold air arrives into next week. Overnight a lot of the
0:47:44 > 0:47:49cloud we've had will tend to clear, allowing more clear skies. You can
0:47:49 > 0:47:53see the land, that's where it's indicating it will be clear, more
0:47:53 > 0:47:56widespread frost tonight going into tomorrow morning. Temperatures at or
0:47:56 > 0:48:01a few degrees below freezing. Again fog patches around here and there
0:48:01 > 0:48:05into tomorrow that could be slow to clear, barely a breath of wind for
0:48:05 > 0:48:09most, tomorrow, the breeze, see the arrows, picks up a bit for Northern
0:48:09 > 0:48:13Ireland into western Scotland, some cloud may be producing a light
0:48:13 > 0:48:17shower, elsewhere, variable cloud, sunny spells on a mainly dry day but
0:48:17 > 0:48:21where you see eight or nine today, tomorrow the temperatures come down
0:48:21 > 0:48:25a further degree. Looking at Friday, the air coming in from the
0:48:25 > 0:48:28north-east more from the east south-east location where we would
0:48:28 > 0:48:35expect dry air coming in, less cloud, more sunshine. A bit breezy
0:48:35 > 0:48:39to the south and west of the UK, most places are dry and again single
0:48:39 > 0:48:43figure temperatures. I want to show you the setup for the weekend, high
0:48:43 > 0:48:46pressure from Scandinavia, the flow of air around that well into next
0:48:46 > 0:48:50week which comes in from the easterly direction, a cold
0:48:50 > 0:48:54direction, and the breeze picks up a bit more as well. Lot of sunshine
0:48:54 > 0:48:58this weekend but the thing to notice, four locations here, but for
0:48:58 > 0:49:01the whole of the country, temperatures going down, the breeze
0:49:01 > 0:49:07picking up, feeling colder but again the proper cold air is next week.
0:49:07 > 0:49:12Yes, but the sunshine is there so it makes it all better.Lots of blue
0:49:12 > 0:49:18sky days weekend.As soon as I hear the word son I go all disease.She
0:49:18 > 0:49:25likes a bit of sunny weather.I do -- all busy. -- Wisniewski.
0:49:25 > 0:49:27Thousands of small firms were mistreated by Royal Bank Scotland
0:49:27 > 0:49:30during the financial crisis, that's according to a report
0:49:30 > 0:49:31released by MPs.
0:49:31 > 0:49:32Steph's been looking at what happened.
0:49:32 > 0:49:37I need to take you back about ten or 15 years to when this began. The
0:49:37 > 0:49:38height of the financial crisis.
0:49:38 > 0:49:41Lots of businesses were struggling to pay
0:49:41 > 0:49:41back their debts.
0:49:41 > 0:49:44Royal Bank of Scotland set up a unit called
0:49:44 > 0:49:46the Global Restructuring Group, so when one of their business
0:49:46 > 0:49:49customers was struggling they would be put through to this unit.
0:49:49 > 0:49:53It was supposed to be an expert service that could save a business,
0:49:53 > 0:49:56but a report by the financial regulator found that this unit
0:49:56 > 0:49:59actually harmed a lot of the businesses it was supposed
0:49:59 > 0:50:01to help, with made-up fees, high interest rates
0:50:01 > 0:50:03and taking over property in some cases.
0:50:03 > 0:50:05Royal Bank of Scotland said it was deeply sorry
0:50:05 > 0:50:12for its treatment of businesses in the GRG.
0:50:12 > 0:50:15At its peak the unit was handling around 16,000 businesses.
0:50:15 > 0:50:21One of them was small business owner Andi Gibbs.
0:50:21 > 0:50:26Good morning to you, Andi. Tell us about your business, it was an
0:50:26 > 0:50:32architecture firm?It was. I had started a community festival in
0:50:32 > 0:50:37Norwich and wanted after six years to have a permanent base to create
0:50:37 > 0:50:41creative industries, working together and expanding their skills
0:50:41 > 0:50:46base and sharing. Part of my business was that accommodation, an
0:50:46 > 0:50:50architectural practice which was award-winning, plus a construction
0:50:50 > 0:50:55company.You went to Royal Bank of Scotland to borrow money? Do more to
0:50:55 > 0:50:58the project, it wasn't because you were struggling, you went to expand?
0:50:58 > 0:51:03Yes, we were in the final stages of a four or five year building
0:51:03 > 0:51:07project. We had a waiting list for tenants to come into the property
0:51:07 > 0:51:12because of its notoriety. This was increased funding NatWest and they
0:51:12 > 0:51:17suggested that my three accounts should go to Royal Bank of Scotland.
0:51:17 > 0:51:21You got the loan from Royal Bank of Scotland and then what happened,
0:51:21 > 0:51:26when did the trouble start?The easiest thing is to use an analogy.
0:51:26 > 0:51:31If you can imagine that Royal Bank of Scotland are a kind of swamp of
0:51:31 > 0:51:36quicksand, Royal Bank of Scotland offered the loan but structured onto
0:51:36 > 0:51:40it and interest rate hedging product which effectively was something they
0:51:40 > 0:51:46sold to me which was a loss-making product -- an interest rate. Because
0:51:46 > 0:51:53the interest rates were going down... Starting to go down that
0:51:53 > 0:51:58effectively built in what was a credit line that was unknown to me
0:51:58 > 0:52:05and many customers. For a loan of £1.3 million, there was a credit
0:52:05 > 0:52:11line unknown of £1.5 million.This push you into financial difficulty
0:52:11 > 0:52:16and that's when Royal Bank of Scotland moved you into this GI G --
0:52:16 > 0:52:20push you.What pushed many businesses was simply we were
0:52:20 > 0:52:24complaining of what this interest rate hedging product was doing --
0:52:24 > 0:52:30pushed you -- GRG.What happened? You ended up losing the business?
0:52:30 > 0:52:36Yes.
0:52:36 > 0:52:42Yes. We transferred to GRG and we had a situation where there was over
0:52:42 > 0:52:47bullying, stopping direct payments, stopping my professional insurance,
0:52:47 > 0:52:52taking my lifeline away from providing for my family. In the end
0:52:52 > 0:52:59they fire sold the whole property, or properties, 11 in total in
0:52:59 > 0:53:03Norwich and destroyed the project. That obviously hit you really hard?
0:53:03 > 0:53:10It was. Out of it I had three major operations, six hours, broken
0:53:10 > 0:53:20marriage and a breakdown.And OK now?-- and you're OK now? Am I? I
0:53:20 > 0:53:25have a successful architecture practice in Norwich. We will be OK
0:53:25 > 0:53:30when we get justice, and that's what we're fighting for. They had a
0:53:30 > 0:53:35company called West Register where they would try to offer you more
0:53:35 > 0:53:41money, which I turned down with a 15% stake. When they said they
0:53:41 > 0:53:46couldn't afford 1.3 million, they offered £1.71 million as a loan.
0:53:46 > 0:53:50There's hidden and sharing of assets to basically pull the guillotine
0:53:50 > 0:53:58down on the business.You're part of this group trying to fight it?SMP
0:53:58 > 0:54:00Alliance and whistleblowers are all working together.Good luck with
0:54:00 > 0:54:05that. Thanks for your time, Andi, a personal story so thanks for telling
0:54:05 > 0:54:11the about it. In response Royal Bank of Scotland have said they saw no
0:54:11 > 0:54:15evidence... The report done by the FCA saw no evidence of inappropriate
0:54:15 > 0:54:19transfer to GRG and all companies transferred were in financial
0:54:19 > 0:54:23difficulty. They had the bank worked with Andi to help him find a way to
0:54:23 > 0:54:28meet his repayment obligations. That's it from me for now on this.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32Amazing how this hits home, a good example. Thank you very much to both
0:54:32 > 0:54:34of you.
0:54:34 > 0:54:37For all of us on Breakfast the term lie-in sounds like bliss,
0:54:37 > 0:54:41but now a team of university sleep experts are testing whether a later
0:54:41 > 0:54:43school start time could benefit pupils and their performance.
0:54:43 > 0:54:45Research already suggests that teenagers don't
0:54:45 > 0:54:46get enough sleep.
0:54:46 > 0:54:49And on BBC Two tonight, Trust Me I'm a Doctor
0:54:49 > 0:54:52will look at why teenagers' bodyclocks are programmed to stay up
0:54:52 > 0:54:53later than everyone else's.
0:54:53 > 0:54:58Let's take a look.
0:54:58 > 0:55:01Let's talk to Guy Holloway, headmaster of Hampton Court House
0:55:01 > 0:55:03School and David Ray, a Professor of medicine
0:55:03 > 0:55:07and endocrinology at the University of Manchester.
0:55:07 > 0:55:15Good morning to you. Guy, let's start with you, what are you doing,
0:55:15 > 0:55:19what time do the pupils turn up, when do they go home and what
0:55:19 > 0:55:24benefits have you seen?Our students have exactly the same amount of
0:55:24 > 0:55:27tuition as they would if they were starting at a traditional early
0:55:27 > 0:55:35time. Our lessons start at 1pm and they work until 7pm.They turn up at
0:55:35 > 0:55:41what time?Well, many of the students will turn up mid-morning,
0:55:41 > 0:55:47but the actual heavy duty work, the A-level studies, begin at 1pm.
0:55:47 > 0:55:52Teachers have said what in terms of how they're responding, how well the
0:55:52 > 0:55:58students are learning and how easy if it is at all to teach them?The
0:55:58 > 0:56:02feedback has been extraordinary. In fact our staff talk about a golden
0:56:02 > 0:56:07period, the period between 4pm and 7pm where it's reported that is
0:56:07 > 0:56:13where the best concentration and the best learning takes place. The fact
0:56:13 > 0:56:18is we are in society accustomed to what we are used to. Why is it that
0:56:18 > 0:56:22up and down the country primary school children come happily into
0:56:22 > 0:56:26school and suddenly... I see it all the time on the way to work, you see
0:56:26 > 0:56:30teenagers making their way to the bus stop and frankly they are
0:56:30 > 0:56:36walking like zombies. It looks like a scene from Shaun of the Dead, but
0:56:36 > 0:56:40we've become accustomed to it and we accept that as normal. There's
0:56:40 > 0:56:44something profoundly wrong about asking our teenagers to get up early
0:56:44 > 0:56:50in the morning. They can do it, just as we can up early to catch a 6am
0:56:50 > 0:56:56flight, but the fact is it's unnatural. The neuroscientific
0:56:56 > 0:57:00community is doing this country's teenagers a great service by
0:57:00 > 0:57:06suggesting that what we are doing is supported by the research.A
0:57:06 > 0:57:10passionate defence of teenagers getting up later, lots of people
0:57:10 > 0:57:14getting in contact with the programme as well, talking about the
0:57:14 > 0:57:17fact they recognise this in their own teenagers. Is it backed by
0:57:17 > 0:57:24research?Yes, absolutely. Chromo type refers to whether someone is
0:57:24 > 0:57:28more of a morning person or an evening person and we all recognise
0:57:28 > 0:57:32and remember ourselves that during teenage years we all shift very much
0:57:32 > 0:57:36later. Boys even later than girls during teenage years and for the
0:57:36 > 0:57:41rest of our lives we get earlier and earlier and earlier. The problem
0:57:41 > 0:57:45with that is even telling teenagers that they should go to bed at 10pm
0:57:45 > 0:57:51to get up at 7am, if they can't get to sleep at 10pm, they are lying in
0:57:51 > 0:57:55bed, they are restless and trying to get them up early in the morning is
0:57:55 > 0:58:00very hard.And he makes a point that many are making, wouldn't teens go
0:58:00 > 0:58:04to sleep later knowing they get a lie in in the morning, therefore
0:58:04 > 0:58:08negating the effect of a later start to a school day?That's interesting.
0:58:08 > 0:58:13There's a lot of theoretical research suggesting this late chromo
0:58:13 > 0:58:17type in teenage years is a real phenomenon. It's not something easy
0:58:17 > 0:58:21to fight against. Real-life experiments like starting school
0:58:21 > 0:58:26later is what we need to see in real life if this really helps.Time is
0:58:26 > 0:58:29tight but when would you see the benefits of this, how quickly could
0:58:29 > 0:58:34you see positive change?Very quickly, very quickly. Within a day
0:58:34 > 0:58:40or two, it is as quick as that. Essentially the practical issue
0:58:40 > 0:58:44would be if teenagers get used to starting school and starting work at
0:58:44 > 0:58:501pm, then the potential is they will go to sleep at 2am or 3am and then
0:58:50 > 0:58:54they will be out of phase with the rest of their family and if exams
0:58:54 > 0:58:59when they come around in the summer start at 9am then it will be like
0:58:59 > 0:59:03trying to do an exam in the middle of the night so there are practical
0:59:03 > 0:59:07knock-on effects.David, good to talk to you and Guy Holloway, thank
0:59:07 > 0:59:13you very much as well. We will be hearing from Guy later.
0:59:13 > 0:59:17Trust Me I'm a Doctor is on BBC Two tonight at 8:30pm.
0:59:17 > 1:02:39Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:02:39 > 1:02:40That's all from me for now.
1:02:40 > 1:02:43I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
1:02:43 > 1:02:44in half an hour.
1:02:44 > 1:02:47Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
1:02:47 > 1:02:47Bye for now.
1:02:47 > 1:02:50Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty.
1:02:50 > 1:02:53A move on gun control policy in the United States.
1:02:53 > 1:02:55President Trump indicates he's willing to make a change.
1:02:55 > 1:02:58As students prepare to march in the state capital
1:02:58 > 1:03:01after last week's school shooting, he says he'd support a ban
1:03:01 > 1:03:04on devices which turn rifles into machine-guns.
1:03:16 > 1:03:17Good morning, it's Wednesday 21st February.
1:03:17 > 1:03:25Also this morning:
1:03:27 > 1:03:30Warnings of a humanitarian disaster in Syria where hundreds of people
1:03:30 > 1:03:31have died after days of bombing.
1:03:31 > 1:03:34We look at how early onset dementia could be linked
1:03:34 > 1:03:37to regular heavy drinking.
1:03:37 > 1:03:43Good morning.
1:03:43 > 1:03:48We are in north Wales, 1000 feet above the Menai Straits. This is a
1:03:48 > 1:03:48crucial
1:03:48 > 1:03:50above the Menai Straits. This is a crucial time of year for British
1:03:50 > 1:03:55livestock farmers, especially for sheep farmers and now senior police
1:03:55 > 1:03:59officers say it is time to get a grip on the problem of dog attacks
1:03:59 > 1:04:02on livestock.
1:04:02 > 1:04:07KFC says many of its restaurants could be closed for the rest of the
1:04:07 > 1:04:11week as the chain enters another day of supply problems. We will speak to
1:04:11 > 1:04:16a worker's union just before eight a.m..
1:04:16 > 1:04:19And in the sport here in Pyeongchang, there was great news
1:04:19 > 1:04:21for Britain's curlers overnight.
1:04:21 > 1:04:23And can the men join the women in the semi-finals?
1:04:23 > 1:04:26I'll bring you the latest on all that and everything else,
1:04:26 > 1:04:27in half an hour.
1:04:27 > 1:04:29And Nick has the weather.
1:04:29 > 1:04:32Good morning. Frosty in Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland. Sunny
1:04:32 > 1:04:35spells to come for England and Wales. We have the forecast for the
1:04:35 > 1:04:38rest of the week into the weekend as it turns cold.
1:04:38 > 1:04:39Good morning.
1:04:39 > 1:04:40First, our main story.
1:04:40 > 1:04:43President Trump has suggested he could be willing to make some
1:04:43 > 1:04:45changes on gun control laws, following the school shooting
1:04:45 > 1:04:47in Florida last week.
1:04:47 > 1:04:50He has signed an order to ban bump-stock devices which turn
1:04:50 > 1:04:51rifles into machine-guns.
1:04:51 > 1:04:54They were used by a gunman who killed 58 Las Vegas
1:04:54 > 1:04:55last year.
1:04:55 > 1:04:58Mr Trump says legislation could be ready "very soon".
1:04:58 > 1:05:02Our North America correspondent David Willis reports.
1:05:02 > 1:05:08We don't know where the shooter is!
1:05:08 > 1:05:11The scenes are nothing new here, but last week's high school shooting
1:05:11 > 1:05:15in Florida has galvanised the debate on gun control in America in a way
1:05:15 > 1:05:18few here can remember.
1:05:18 > 1:05:20Students who survived an attack which killed 17
1:05:20 > 1:05:27of their teachers and classmates are speaking out fluidly and forcefully.
1:05:27 > 1:05:31Do not let people try to get under your skin!
1:05:31 > 1:05:35Their youthful voices resonating where those of long
1:05:35 > 1:05:38serving politicians have largely fallen flat.
1:05:38 > 1:05:41We are what's bringing the change.
1:05:41 > 1:05:42We're going to keep talking.
1:05:42 > 1:05:46We're going to keep pushing until something is done,
1:05:46 > 1:05:49because people are dying and this can't happen any more.
1:05:49 > 1:05:51Reflecting the national mood of grief and anger
1:05:51 > 1:05:54in the wake of last week's shooting, President Trump, who supports gun
1:05:54 > 1:05:58ownership, offered a concession - a ban on bump-stock devices,
1:05:58 > 1:06:00used to devastating effect in the Las Vegas massacre
1:06:00 > 1:06:05last year.
1:06:05 > 1:06:09I signed a memorandum directing the attorney general to proposed
1:06:09 > 1:06:11regulations to ban all devices that turn legal
1:06:11 > 1:06:15weapons into machine-guns.
1:06:15 > 1:06:19Students arriving for a rally later today in the Florida state capital
1:06:19 > 1:06:21Tallahassee say that's not enough.
1:06:21 > 1:06:25Some are heading to Washington at the invitation of the White House
1:06:25 > 1:06:27to press the case for comprehensive gun reforms
1:06:27 > 1:06:31with the President himself.
1:06:31 > 1:06:36Some here are hailing it a turning point
1:06:36 > 1:06:39in the acrimonious debate about guns, but America has been
1:06:39 > 1:06:47here so many times before.
1:06:48 > 1:06:51And we'll be speaking to one of the pupils from the Florida
1:06:51 > 1:06:55school where 17 people were killed last week as he prepares to march
1:06:55 > 1:06:56in Tallahassee later today.
1:06:56 > 1:06:57That's at 7:10am.
1:06:57 > 1:06:59The bombardment of the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta by the Syrian
1:06:59 > 1:07:02government and its allies has continued for a third day,
1:07:02 > 1:07:06prompting the United Nations to warn of the risk of a second Aleppo.
1:07:06 > 1:07:08Reports suggest around 250 people have died following two
1:07:08 > 1:07:09days of attacks.
1:07:09 > 1:07:12According to activists, it is the worst violence in the area
1:07:12 > 1:07:13near Damascus since 2013.
1:07:13 > 1:07:17Speaking from the area, one activist told the BBC this
1:07:17 > 1:07:17is as bad as it's been.
1:07:17 > 1:07:20The mortars are dropping on us like rain.
1:07:20 > 1:07:27There is nowhere to hide from this nightmare in Eastern Ghouta.
1:07:27 > 1:07:29A landmark ruling is being reviewed by the Supreme Court
1:07:29 > 1:07:32over whether police are accountable for their failure to investigate
1:07:32 > 1:07:35victim's allegations of the black cab rapist John Worboys.
1:07:35 > 1:07:37Scotland Yard is appealing against a previous decision
1:07:37 > 1:07:40that they breached the human rights of two women whose testimony
1:07:40 > 1:07:42they failed to investigate properly.
1:07:42 > 1:07:45The Metropolitan Police as it has practices and procedures in place.
1:07:45 > 1:07:49If the ruling is upheld this could be a landmark case for victims
1:07:49 > 1:07:49rights.
1:07:49 > 1:07:53The family of a missing 29-year-old man have travelled to Israel to take
1:07:53 > 1:07:56part in a press conference later this morning, in the hope
1:07:56 > 1:07:57of raising awareness of his disappearance.
1:07:57 > 1:08:00Oliver McAfee from County Down in Northern Ireland,
1:08:00 > 1:08:03was last seen three months ago, while cycling near Mitzpe Ramon.
1:08:03 > 1:08:05Our Middle East correspondent Tom Bateman joins us
1:08:05 > 1:08:12from our Jerusalem newsroom.
1:08:12 > 1:08:15What is happening? I understand some of the gentleman's belongings have
1:08:15 > 1:08:21been found?That's right. Police have said they found a number of
1:08:21 > 1:08:26items belonging to Oliver McAfee. He was cycling through Europe and had
1:08:26 > 1:08:32made a nearly 9000 mile journey before coming to northern Israel. He
1:08:32 > 1:08:38was cycling on a trail and stop in Jerusalem and he then disappeared in
1:08:38 > 1:08:42the desert in the south of Israel. As you say, police say they found
1:08:42 > 1:08:47items and they also say they found piles of stones and words written on
1:08:47 > 1:08:54pieces of paper from the Bible. His family have travelled here and going
1:08:54 > 1:08:56to hold a press conference at the British embassy in Tel Aviv this
1:08:56 > 1:09:01morning. They say they want to revitalise this investigation. A
1:09:01 > 1:09:06want to revitalise the search. But they have said that given that 90
1:09:06 > 1:09:12days or so have passed since any confirmed sighting of Oliver McAfee,
1:09:12 > 1:09:16the lack of a breakthrough is taking its toll.Thanks for the moment.
1:09:16 > 1:09:19Heavy drinking may be a major risk factor for the early
1:09:19 > 1:09:20onset of dementia.
1:09:20 > 1:09:23Scientists in France looked at 57,000 cases of dementia
1:09:23 > 1:09:26in people under 65 and found that a third could have
1:09:26 > 1:09:29been caused by alcohol-related brain damage.
1:09:29 > 1:09:32Ben Ando reports.
1:09:32 > 1:09:37Doctors already know heavy drinking can lead to problems in the brain,
1:09:37 > 1:09:40but this study focused on links specifically to early onset
1:09:40 > 1:09:44dementia, that means affecting people younger than 65.
1:09:44 > 1:09:47Researchers analysed the medical records of more than 30 million
1:09:47 > 1:09:50people in France,
1:09:50 > 1:09:56who'd spent time in hospital during 2008 and 2013.
1:09:56 > 1:09:58They published the results in the Lancet health journal.
1:09:58 > 1:10:01In that nationwide group they found 1 million people with dementia
1:10:01 > 1:10:05and of these 57,000 were under 65.
1:10:05 > 1:10:08Among those people, heavy drinking was linked to 39% or nearly
1:10:08 > 1:10:12one in four cases.
1:10:12 > 1:10:17For this study, heavy drinking was defined as a daily intake
1:10:17 > 1:10:20of more than four units of alcohol for women
1:10:20 > 1:10:21and six for men,
1:10:21 > 1:10:23that's the equivalent of three pints of beer.
1:10:23 > 1:10:25Previous research has suggested that drinking small
1:10:25 > 1:10:30amounts, particularly of red wine, can have a positive effect.
1:10:30 > 1:10:36Those studies really focus on very modest levels of alcohol intake,
1:10:36 > 1:10:39perhaps one or two units a day, and perhaps that has lulled us
1:10:39 > 1:10:42into a false sense of security and perhaps we haven't seen
1:10:42 > 1:10:46the other side of the curve, where people have higher levels
1:10:46 > 1:10:48of alcohol consumption that can be harmful to the brain
1:10:48 > 1:10:51in a variety of ways.
1:10:51 > 1:10:54The Alzheimer's Society says it's aware of the risks of heavy
1:10:54 > 1:10:57drinking and its advice remains the same for everyone -
1:10:57 > 1:11:03try to drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week.
1:11:03 > 1:11:05More than 60 Brexit-supporting Conservative MPs have written
1:11:05 > 1:11:08to the Prime Minister, setting out what they believe
1:11:08 > 1:11:12Britain should achieve from a deal with Brussels.
1:11:12 > 1:11:15The MPs, from the European Research Group of Tory backbenchers,
1:11:15 > 1:11:18insist that Britain should be free to negotiate trade deals with other
1:11:18 > 1:11:20countries, as soon as it leaves the EU.
1:11:20 > 1:11:23Senior ministers will meet tomorrow to discuss what the government wants
1:11:23 > 1:11:27from the final Brexit deal.
1:11:27 > 1:11:30The awards season is in full swing and tonight it's the turn
1:11:30 > 1:11:33of the music industry to celebrate with the BRIT Awards.
1:11:33 > 1:11:3722-year-old Londoner Dua Lipa leads the way
1:11:37 > 1:11:39with five nominations, while eyes will also be
1:11:39 > 1:11:42on Ed Sheeran after his record breaking year.
1:11:42 > 1:11:47Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson reports.
1:11:47 > 1:11:50Dua Lipa's five BRIT nominations are the most ever in one year
1:11:50 > 1:11:54by a female artist.
1:11:54 > 1:12:00The 22-year-old Londoner had a number one with New Rules
1:12:00 > 1:12:02and is heading towards 200,000 sales of her debut.
1:12:02 > 1:12:06At the moment she is bigger than Beyonce, Taylor
1:12:06 > 1:12:10Swift, Rihanna and she has what all of those huge
1:12:10 > 1:12:11American artists has.
1:12:11 > 1:12:15She's not workshy, she'll turn up and do the interviews and promos
1:12:15 > 1:12:21and she'll spend 24 hours doing the video, and extreme focus 24/7.
1:12:26 > 1:12:29However, the night's biggest award, Album of the Year, is expected to go
1:12:29 > 1:12:32to Ed Sheeran's Divide.
1:12:32 > 1:12:36It was number one for a third of last year and it would be a major
1:12:36 > 1:12:38shock if he did not win.
1:12:38 > 1:12:40# You will keep the secrets in ya
1:12:40 > 1:12:48# You've been keeping paraphernalia...#
1:12:49 > 1:12:52One man who's not happy about the BRITs
1:12:52 > 1:12:55is Liam Gallagher, who is nominated for Best Male, but is furious
1:12:55 > 1:12:59that he hasn't been asked to perform and says the Brits have "ballooned
1:12:59 > 1:13:01it" and are too scared to let him onstage.
1:13:01 > 1:13:06And unlike at the Baftas, where almost every actress wore
1:13:06 > 1:13:08black on the red carpet, at the BRITs expect
1:13:08 > 1:13:12a variety of coloured outfits.
1:13:12 > 1:13:15Instead, acts are asked to wear a white rose pin
1:13:15 > 1:13:22if they want to show solidarity for anti-harassment movements.
1:13:24 > 1:13:28Nick will have the weather forecast later and of course the sport as
1:13:28 > 1:13:29well.
1:13:29 > 1:13:32Dozens of students and parents from the Florida high school
1:13:32 > 1:13:35where 17 teenagers and staff members were killed last week will march
1:13:35 > 1:13:39in the state capital Tallahassee later, as part of a campaign
1:13:39 > 1:13:41to make schools safer.
1:13:41 > 1:13:44President Trump has signed an order to ban bump-stock devices,
1:13:44 > 1:13:46which enable rifles to shoot hundreds of rounds a minute.
1:13:46 > 1:13:49Lewis Mizen is a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High
1:13:49 > 1:13:51School, the scene of last week's shooting.
1:13:51 > 1:13:55He joins us live from Tallahassee.
1:13:55 > 1:13:59Thank you so much for coming on the programme again. Many of our viewers
1:13:59 > 1:14:02would have seen and heard you speaking to us over the weekend. I
1:14:02 > 1:14:07suppose most importantly of all, how are you nearly one week on?I know
1:14:07 > 1:14:15Kate. Getting through it day by day. -- I'm OK. What's happened over the
1:14:15 > 1:14:18last few days has been a great distraction. I've been with my
1:14:18 > 1:14:23friends, dealing with interviews and planning this Tallahassee trip. It's
1:14:23 > 1:14:28been a really good distraction for me and obviously earlier today, it
1:14:28 > 1:14:33doesn't feel like earlier today, it is two o'clock, at earlier yesterday
1:14:33 > 1:14:39morning I was at a friend's funeral. So obviously that was tough. But I
1:14:39 > 1:14:43was surrounded by my friends, family and the community and we are getting
1:14:43 > 1:14:48through a day by day.You say you have been to a friend's funeral. Is
1:14:48 > 1:14:52there a feeling at the moment that you need to channel this energy that
1:14:52 > 1:14:53you have for change
1:14:53 > 1:14:54you need to channel this energy that you have for change? Is that why
1:14:54 > 1:14:58there's such a pace about the way you are going about your business
1:14:58 > 1:15:04the moment?Absolutely. We all know how the new cycle works and we will
1:15:04 > 1:15:09only stay in it for a week or so is we want to get as much done as we
1:15:09 > 1:15:12can while the focus is still on what's happened, e-commerce if we
1:15:12 > 1:15:17take our time to grieve -- because if we take our time to grieve
1:15:17 > 1:15:21quietly on our roads for a few weeks, then by the time we are ready
1:15:21 > 1:15:25to come back out and make a change nobody will care. So I feel like
1:15:25 > 1:15:29we've channelled our grief into anger and into a need to make change
1:15:29 > 1:15:35and I think that's what's been so phenomenal about the movement.
1:15:35 > 1:15:42In the UK we are waking up to the President Trump order to ban bump
1:15:42 > 1:15:45stocks, which turns an order Meriweather and into a machine-gun,
1:15:45 > 1:15:49for those who don't know, is that something you would welcome or not
1:15:49 > 1:16:07enough?-- gun. -- ordinarily done. It's good. The movement is becoming
1:16:07 > 1:16:09too politicised, Democrat against Republican, and the fact Donald
1:16:09 > 1:16:12Trump is willing to show he's willing to make inroads is
1:16:12 > 1:16:17phenomenal. I hope this doesn't become a political issue because it
1:16:17 > 1:16:21isn't, it's an American issue, it's something Americans need to be
1:16:21 > 1:16:24united on, the safety of their children and the fact he's willing
1:16:24 > 1:16:28to make a step in the right direction with this executive order
1:16:28 > 1:16:32is fantastic.You've got a very busy few days, I know you're taking part
1:16:32 > 1:16:36in a town hall meeting broadcast live on CNN, you're meeting
1:16:36 > 1:16:40lawmakers today as well. What will the points you will be trying to get
1:16:40 > 1:16:47across to the lawmakers, what do you want to see achieved by Deon of this
1:16:47 > 1:16:53process?Obviously we had a long drive up here, seven hours to
1:16:53 > 1:17:03Tallahassee from parkland. -- by doing this process. -- Parkland.
1:17:03 > 1:17:09What we want to do is not only do we want to talk about mental healthcare
1:17:09 > 1:17:12in schools, which obviously is incredibly important, but we want to
1:17:12 > 1:17:17talk about why it's easier for people in Florida to get their hands
1:17:17 > 1:17:21on a semiautomatic weapon, the same kind of weapon we send soldiers off
1:17:21 > 1:17:25to fight foreign wars with, it's easier to get those weapons than a
1:17:25 > 1:17:30handgun. Obviously I don't know the statistics but I don't know many
1:17:30 > 1:17:33school shootings that have been carried out by a guy with a handgun.
1:17:33 > 1:17:39Most happen with these kinds of weapons of war. We want to talk to
1:17:39 > 1:17:44them and tried... If Donald Trump is willing to make inroads then we hope
1:17:44 > 1:17:50these state legislators will as well. -- try. There was a vote on it
1:17:50 > 1:17:55earlier, my days are mixed up, it feels like earlier today but it was
1:17:55 > 1:18:00yesterday, they voted down a proposal to discuss banning assault
1:18:00 > 1:18:05weapons. It was quite overwhelmingly against. I'm really hoping by
1:18:05 > 1:18:09meeting with the state legislators we will be able to change their mind
1:18:09 > 1:18:14on that and be willing to discuss the issue because this is a hot
1:18:14 > 1:18:17button issue. Lawmakers and legislators can't shy away from
1:18:17 > 1:18:22that. They need to kind of face it head on because I've had classmates
1:18:22 > 1:18:27who have faced in the bullets from those guns head on and if they're
1:18:27 > 1:18:31not willing to face the problem head on them frankly that's ridiculous.
1:18:31 > 1:18:35The way you're able to think so clearly at this kind of time and
1:18:35 > 1:18:39what you've seen in the last week or so is so impressive. I wonder at the
1:18:39 > 1:18:43end of this process, once you have met these lawmakers and taken part
1:18:43 > 1:18:50in live interviews and TV programmes and done the world press as you are
1:18:50 > 1:18:54doing at the moment, will you get a chance to stop and grieve? How
1:18:54 > 1:18:57difficult will that be and eventually going back to school as
1:18:57 > 1:19:02well?The tentative start date for us going back to school is next
1:19:02 > 1:19:08Tuesday I believe. We're doing a half day. We're also going back on
1:19:08 > 1:19:13Sunday to be with our families so the kids can feel safe going back to
1:19:13 > 1:19:17school for the first time. That's good, easing us back into it. But
1:19:17 > 1:19:22Stoneman Douglas is my home and its my high school home, I can't wait to
1:19:22 > 1:19:27get back. This has been a tough week and it's been intense and non-stop.
1:19:27 > 1:19:33I haven't really been thinking about it but it's been one of those weeks
1:19:33 > 1:19:37where my dad made me toast this morning and I didn't think I was
1:19:37 > 1:19:42that hungry and before I realised it I had eaten it all. It's where I'm
1:19:42 > 1:19:46with my friends, it's 1am, and we say let's take a 15 minute nap and
1:19:46 > 1:19:51we wake up eight hours later because we also exhausted. It's been a
1:19:51 > 1:19:56really intense week and it's going to stay with us for the rest of our
1:19:56 > 1:20:00lives. But I think we will slowly be able to get back to normality and I
1:20:00 > 1:20:05think it will get easier as time goes on. We live in an age of
1:20:05 > 1:20:08terrorism and this is something that haunts us every day, doesn't matter
1:20:08 > 1:20:13where you're from, terrorism can come in all forms. The only way to
1:20:13 > 1:20:18be that is to live your life to the fullest, go to school, be with your
1:20:18 > 1:20:23friends, fall in love, forge your future and I for one... It's been a
1:20:23 > 1:20:29hit. It's been a punch to the face. I know myself and a lot of my
1:20:29 > 1:20:32classmates are going to get up and keep walking because something like
1:20:32 > 1:20:35this isn't going to stop us from marching towards our future.Lewis,
1:20:35 > 1:20:43so good to speak to you, good luck for the next few days and when you
1:20:43 > 1:20:48go back to school as well.Thank you so much.Incredible young man. 17
1:20:48 > 1:20:52years old.Dealing with that and all of his school friends and the
1:20:52 > 1:20:56teachers, we wish them well.
1:20:56 > 1:21:00Let's find out what's happening with the weather. It's going to get
1:21:00 > 1:21:01colder?
1:21:02 > 1:21:08Absolutely. Temperatures are dipping away day by day as we go into the
1:21:08 > 1:21:13weekend, some really proper cold air on the way next week. Baidoa Thames
1:21:13 > 1:21:17may not get above freezing for some spots. That's next week, the rest of
1:21:17 > 1:21:20this week with high pressure building in offers a lot of dry
1:21:20 > 1:21:25weather -- the temperatures. We could have some light showers but
1:21:25 > 1:21:29most places are dry, where you start with cloud, brightening up a bit,
1:21:29 > 1:21:35especially in parts of England and Wales. A few fog patches in Northern
1:21:35 > 1:21:39Ireland to begin with, clear weather in Scotland, early cloud in the
1:21:39 > 1:21:44south, some fog, but generally sunny. In Scotland, a frosty start.
1:21:44 > 1:21:51Areas of cloud coming and going but particularly into England and Wales,
1:21:51 > 1:21:54probably western fringes seeing the best of the sunny spells, perhaps
1:21:54 > 1:21:57into the far south-east but again where the cloud is thick enough we
1:21:57 > 1:22:01could have the odd light shower. Some spots yesterday got to double
1:22:01 > 1:22:05figures, today it is more like six to nine for the top temper just be
1:22:05 > 1:22:16day by day temperatures will be dropping -- top temperature. More in
1:22:16 > 1:22:21the way of blue frost going into tomorrow morning. Temperatures at or
1:22:21 > 1:22:25below freezing, a few fog patches as well and with barely a breath of
1:22:25 > 1:22:29wind for many, fairly slow to clear. Away from those, with decent
1:22:29 > 1:22:34sunshine to come tomorrow. More cloud building from Northern Ireland
1:22:34 > 1:22:38into western Scotland, the odd shower here, a breeze picks up. Look
1:22:38 > 1:22:43at the arrows. For most places, variable cloud, sunny spells, dry,
1:22:43 > 1:22:48and temperatures, eight, nine today, more like six or seven tomorrow. A
1:22:48 > 1:22:52fair amount of sunshine on Friday, coming in from the east or
1:22:52 > 1:22:58south-east. A bit of a dry effect into the UK with more sunshine, less
1:22:58 > 1:23:01cloud, the vast majority will be dry and those temperatures more like
1:23:01 > 1:23:05five or six. Over the weekend we keep high pressure close by, that
1:23:05 > 1:23:10means a lot of dry weather to come. It's the flow of air around this
1:23:10 > 1:23:14area of high pressure coming in from the east or south-east allowing the
1:23:14 > 1:23:17colder air to feed in. That's where we're noticing the temperatures
1:23:17 > 1:23:21coming down. A lot of fine, sunny weather over the weekend but
1:23:21 > 1:23:25temperatures coming down, still further the wind picking up, feeling
1:23:25 > 1:23:29colder in the wind but even colder next week. You will hear much more
1:23:29 > 1:23:34about that over the next few days. Thanks very much, Nick.
1:23:34 > 1:23:38There's a call for a dog DNA database to be established to help
1:23:38 > 1:23:40catch animals suspected of killing livestock.
1:23:40 > 1:23:43The National Police Chiefs' Council also wants to be able
1:23:43 > 1:23:45to search properties and confiscate repeat offender dogs
1:23:45 > 1:23:46from their owners.
1:23:46 > 1:23:48Breakfast's John Maguire is on a farm in North Wales and has
1:23:48 > 1:23:49Breakfast's John Maguire is on a farm in North Wales and has
1:23:49 > 1:23:51more detail for us this morning.
1:23:51 > 1:23:54John, we are getting lots of viewers commenting on this unsurprisingly
1:23:54 > 1:24:00this morning.You're absolutely right. I've been talking to people
1:24:00 > 1:24:04since we've been filming over the last couple of weeks and there is a
1:24:04 > 1:24:07great deal of interest, not only from farmers, people in rural areas,
1:24:07 > 1:24:14but from dog owners. We are in North Wales, 1000 feet up above the Menai
1:24:14 > 1:24:18Strait, that's Anglesey across there. A beautiful and dramatic
1:24:18 > 1:24:23landscape, one that is very difficult to farm. One way of making
1:24:23 > 1:24:27the land pay for farmers is obviously through sheep farming. At
1:24:27 > 1:24:32this time of year these ewes will be inland, the farmers will start to
1:24:32 > 1:24:38land in around six weeks -- will be in lamb. They're very vulnerable.
1:24:38 > 1:24:42When we talk about dog attacks, they're not just vulnerable from
1:24:42 > 1:24:47biting, but from chasing them around and the problems that can cause for
1:24:47 > 1:24:52a ewe's pregnancy. It isn't just sheep, all sorts of livestock, but
1:24:52 > 1:24:55now senior police officers are saying enough is enough.
1:24:55 > 1:24:58He's only 16 but Alfie is already learning about some of the harsh
1:24:58 > 1:25:00realities of farming after two
1:25:00 > 1:25:02of his pedigree sheep were attacked by a dog.
1:25:02 > 1:25:05The Harriet family graze their sheep on the South Downs and have
1:25:05 > 1:25:07had several incidents.
1:25:07 > 1:25:10It's just that throat wound on a bit concerned about still.
1:25:10 > 1:25:11It's very upsetting.
1:25:11 > 1:25:13The trauma that the sheep have gone through.
1:25:13 > 1:25:17As I say, we're not going to quite know yet how much this has impacted,
1:25:17 > 1:25:20but it's not the first incidents we've have had.
1:25:20 > 1:25:28We've had two, three, four throughout the year.
1:25:31 > 1:25:34Only yesterday I went up there and there were more dogs
1:25:34 > 1:25:35off the lead.
1:25:35 > 1:25:38You ask them nicely, "Would you mind putting your dog
1:25:38 > 1:25:39on the lead, please."
1:25:39 > 1:25:42"Oh, my dog wouldn't do that, it won't be my dog, my dog's
1:25:42 > 1:25:43not like that."
1:25:43 > 1:25:46That's all all you get really and they won't do it.
1:25:46 > 1:25:50This video shows the dog tracing the ewes before biting them and days
1:25:50 > 1:25:51later it returned to attack again.
1:25:51 > 1:25:54So it's all about taking DNA samples then I guess?
1:25:54 > 1:25:55Absolutely.
1:25:55 > 1:25:58Sergeant Tom Carter is a wildlife and rural officer for Sussex Police
1:25:58 > 1:26:00who started using forensic science to tackle the problem.
1:26:00 > 1:26:04So we just take the swab out, we rub that around the bite wound
1:26:04 > 1:26:08of where the dog's attacked the sheep, put it back in the tube,
1:26:08 > 1:26:11fill out all the details on the back, send that off
1:26:11 > 1:26:15to the lab and if we've got a dog we can match it to we take another
1:26:15 > 1:26:18swab from the dog and match the two samples.
1:26:18 > 1:26:21Now the most senior officers, the National Police Chiefs' Council,
1:26:21 > 1:26:24has published a report calling for a DNA database of dogs suspected
1:26:24 > 1:26:25of an attack.
1:26:25 > 1:26:28It wants a law to force owners to use fixed leads in livestock
1:26:28 > 1:26:30areas and tougher sanctions, possibly using Crown Courts,
1:26:30 > 1:26:31not just magistrates.
1:26:31 > 1:26:34We've put various recommendations in the report that we would hope
1:26:34 > 1:26:37the legislators and politicians will take heed of an work with us
1:26:37 > 1:26:40to improve the situation for our rural communities.
1:26:40 > 1:26:42Although the police chiefs argue the current law is inadequate,
1:26:42 > 1:26:46it does allow farmers to shoot dogs that are found attacking livestock,
1:26:46 > 1:26:49so reducing the huge number of incidents would ease the stress
1:26:49 > 1:26:57and suffering not just on farmers but also on dog owners.
1:27:04 > 1:27:10I want to pick up on the point of having to shoot dogs. Gareth is the
1:27:10 > 1:27:15farmer here, a familiar face on BBC Breakfast, you have shot a dog
1:27:15 > 1:27:21before, not something very pleasant to do?God, no, it is horrible.
1:27:21 > 1:27:28Farmers don't want to do it. We are dog owners, dog lovers, it's the
1:27:28 > 1:27:31last straw really but when something is chasing and killing an animal you
1:27:31 > 1:27:36have no choice. If you can't catch it, you have to destroy it. The
1:27:36 > 1:27:41thing is, John, if they've killed a sheep, the majority of the time they
1:27:41 > 1:27:46will go back and kill again. It's in the DNA, it isn't the fault of the
1:27:46 > 1:27:51dog, it's the fault of the owner. Education is key here. We need
1:27:51 > 1:27:54people to understand that these dogs need to be on leads and they
1:27:54 > 1:28:00shouldn't be left alone, especially in the countryside and around
1:28:00 > 1:28:03livestock.Thank you very much indeed, Gareth. One of the points
1:28:03 > 1:28:08made in the police report says that repeat offending by dogs is a real
1:28:08 > 1:28:12issue, that's one of the reasons the senior police officers believe the
1:28:12 > 1:28:16DNA database would be very effective in trying to make sure that if an
1:28:16 > 1:28:21animal is injured, if an animal is attacked by a dog and they manage to
1:28:21 > 1:28:25trace the DNA, they can figure out the dog responsible and stop that
1:28:25 > 1:28:29dog attacking again. Back to you. Thanks, John. Naga mentioned about
1:28:29 > 1:28:34the comments coming in, let's read a couple. Allen says bring back dog
1:28:34 > 1:28:39licenses, chip every dog and make the license £1000, maybe they will
1:28:39 > 1:32:00control them
1:32:00 > 1:32:02That's all from me for now.
1:32:02 > 1:32:04I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
1:32:04 > 1:32:05in half an hour.
1:32:05 > 1:32:08Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
1:32:08 > 1:32:09Bye for now.
1:32:09 > 1:32:11Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty.
1:32:11 > 1:32:16Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.
1:32:16 > 1:32:19President Trump has suggested he could be willing to make some
1:32:19 > 1:32:21changes on gun control laws, following the school shooting
1:32:21 > 1:32:22in Florida last week.
1:32:22 > 1:32:25He has signed an order to ban bump-stock devices which turn
1:32:25 > 1:32:26rifles into machine-guns.
1:32:26 > 1:32:30They were used by a gunman who killed 58 Las Vegas
1:32:30 > 1:32:31concert-goers last year.
1:32:31 > 1:32:38Mr Trump says legislation could be ready "very soon".
1:32:38 > 1:32:41The bombardment of the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta by the Syrian
1:32:41 > 1:32:44government and its allies has continued for a third day,
1:32:44 > 1:32:47prompting the United Nations to warn of the risk of a second Aleppo.
1:32:47 > 1:32:50Reports suggest around 250 people have died following two
1:32:50 > 1:32:51days of attacks.
1:32:51 > 1:32:54According to activists, it is the worst violence in the area
1:32:54 > 1:32:57near Damascus since 2013.
1:32:57 > 1:33:00Heavy drinking may be a major risk factor for the early
1:33:00 > 1:33:02onset of dementia.
1:33:02 > 1:33:07Scientists in France looked at 57,000 cases of dementia
1:33:07 > 1:33:11in people under 65 and found that a third could have
1:33:11 > 1:33:12been caused by alcohol-related brain damage.
1:33:12 > 1:33:16The Supreme Court is to rule on whether the Metropolitan Police
1:33:16 > 1:33:20failed two victims of black cab rapist John Worboys.
1:33:20 > 1:33:23Scotland Yard is appealing against a previous decision
1:33:23 > 1:33:26that they breached the human rights of two women whose testimony
1:33:26 > 1:33:28they failed to investigate properly.
1:33:28 > 1:33:29The Metropolitan Police argues it had practices
1:33:29 > 1:33:31and procedures in place.
1:33:31 > 1:33:34If the ruling is upheld, this could be a landmark case
1:33:34 > 1:33:37for victim's rights.
1:33:37 > 1:33:40More than 60 Brexit supporting Conservative MPs have written
1:33:40 > 1:33:44to the Prime Minister, setting out what
1:33:44 > 1:33:49they believe Britain should achieve from a deal with Brussels.
1:33:49 > 1:33:52The MPs insist that Britain should be free
1:33:52 > 1:33:55to negotiate trade deals with other countries as soon as it
1:33:55 > 1:33:56leaves the EU.
1:33:56 > 1:33:59Senior ministers will meet tomorrow to discuss what the government wants
1:33:59 > 1:34:00from the final Brexit deal.
1:34:00 > 1:34:03With the awards season in full swing, tonight it's the turn
1:34:03 > 1:34:06of the music industry and the BRIT Awards,
1:34:06 > 1:34:13the great and the good of the pop world are hoping to bag a trophy.
1:34:13 > 1:34:16Dua Lipa is leading the way with the highest number
1:34:16 > 1:34:18of nominations ever given to a female artist -
1:34:18 > 1:34:21seven in total.
1:34:21 > 1:34:24The 22-year-old had a number one with New Rules and is heading
1:34:24 > 1:34:31towards 200,000 sales with her self-titled debut album.
1:34:31 > 1:34:35That was my moment of feeling old. I haven't heard that song.
1:34:35 > 1:34:39That was my moment of feeling old. I haven't heard that song. And you
1:34:39 > 1:34:44were jigging away to it. My four-year-old loves it.
1:34:44 > 1:34:50Maybe that's the age bracket. And Dan likes it.
1:34:50 > 1:34:54That's because we are in the car with them.
1:34:54 > 1:34:57You have to be careful with lyrics for kids as well.
1:34:57 > 1:35:02Do you press knew the? I just forget she is singing those inappropriate
1:35:02 > 1:35:07lyrics. Parenting goals. We will be live in
1:35:07 > 1:35:13South Korea? Very soon. Just a quick talk about
1:35:13 > 1:35:17Chelsea and Barcelona last night. It was all going so well for Chelsea
1:35:17 > 1:35:21and it should have been a perfect match and then Lionel Messi got
1:35:21 > 1:35:24involved, and denied them a victory.
1:35:24 > 1:35:27Chelsea had the better of the chances and eventually took
1:35:27 > 1:35:30the lead through Willian, after he'd twice hit
1:35:30 > 1:35:30the post earlier.
1:35:30 > 1:35:33But the Spanish giants came on strong in the second half
1:35:33 > 1:35:37and Messi capitalised on a Chelsea error to make it 1-1 and give
1:35:37 > 1:35:44Barcelona an important away goal going into the second leg.
1:35:44 > 1:35:49One mistake.
1:35:49 > 1:35:56But, as you know very well, against these types of players,
1:35:56 > 1:36:04Messi and Suarez, if you make a mistake you pay.
1:36:06 > 1:36:10So Lionel Messi has tried to score against Chelsea for the last nine
1:36:10 > 1:36:14times. He really hadn't scored against them at Stamford Bridge and
1:36:14 > 1:36:19finally did it, much to Chelsea's an audience.
1:36:19 > 1:36:21England women head coach Phil Neville has named
1:36:21 > 1:36:24Chelsea's Anita Asante in his first squad for next month's
1:36:24 > 1:36:25SheBelieves Cup in the United States.
1:36:25 > 1:36:29Asante, who was last called up in 2015, was one of several players
1:36:29 > 1:36:32who said they were poorly treated by previous boss Mark Sampson.
1:36:32 > 1:36:35Injured skipper Steph Houghton has also been named in the squad.
1:36:35 > 1:36:37Right, let's head to the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang,
1:36:37 > 1:36:40where Kat Downes has been keeping across the action for us.
1:36:40 > 1:36:44Morning, Kat.
1:36:44 > 1:36:53Good morning! Yes, we are into K-12 and it's another lovely sunny day.
1:36:53 > 1:37:00-- daily 12. It's all going rather to plan for Eve Muirhead and the
1:37:00 > 1:37:05curling team. They had an amazing win and are through to the
1:37:05 > 1:37:08semifinals after beating the defending Olympic champions Canada.
1:37:08 > 1:37:13They were behind going into the final end but they won it 6-4 I've.
1:37:13 > 1:37:19Such a tense match. That will deny Canada a medal at curling for the
1:37:19 > 1:37:23first time ever at a Winter Olympic Games, so huge for Great Britain's
1:37:23 > 1:37:29women. Disappointment for the men and Kyle Smith in the last hour. A
1:37:29 > 1:37:34heavy loss to the USA, they lost 10-4 and now need to come off in a
1:37:34 > 1:37:38play-off against Switzerland if they are to make it through to the
1:37:38 > 1:37:42semifinals. They conceded four in the final end, is a very expensive
1:37:42 > 1:37:46at the end for great written's men, but they aren't out of it yet --
1:37:46 > 1:37:52Great Britain. Billy Morgan is through to Saturday's final after
1:37:52 > 1:37:57taking a final qualification spot. Jamie Nichols and Rowan Coultas
1:37:57 > 1:38:03missed out. But Billy Morgan will be in the finals. And one of the
1:38:03 > 1:38:07biggest names in this Winter Olympics is Lindsey Bond, the most
1:38:07 > 1:38:11decorated skier of all time. She took the bronze in what will be the
1:38:11 > 1:38:17final Olympic downhill race -- Agro three. She didn't compete four years
1:38:17 > 1:38:23ago and was back in the mix today to try and regain the title, but it
1:38:23 > 1:38:30went to an Italian who took the gold and Lindsey Vonn now signs of on her
1:38:30 > 1:38:35Olympic career. But no other female skier has ever done as well as that,
1:38:35 > 1:38:39so Lindsey Vonn signing out with a bronze medal. Unfortunately there
1:38:39 > 1:38:44will be no medal at all for Great Britain's Elise Christie. I am sure
1:38:44 > 1:38:49you were all trying to cheer her on through that the event, she crashed
1:38:49 > 1:38:52out of the first two and was then heartbreakingly disqualified after
1:38:52 > 1:38:58that fall at the start. She injured her ankle at the start of that 1000
1:38:58 > 1:39:03metre heat yesterday. She picked herself up and clawed her way back
1:39:03 > 1:39:07through the field, but the officials decided she had picked up some
1:39:07 > 1:39:12violations on the way and they disqualified her, Soho Olympics
1:39:12 > 1:39:17again after three missed attempts in Sochi ends again. -- so her
1:39:17 > 1:39:22Olympics.
1:39:22 > 1:39:25I worked so hard to come back from this injury.
1:39:25 > 1:39:28I think 1,000 people wouldn't have skated with my ankle
1:39:28 > 1:39:29the way it was.
1:39:29 > 1:39:30I could barely bend my knee.
1:39:30 > 1:39:31It's just...
1:39:31 > 1:39:34The only thing I can say is I promise Britain I
1:39:34 > 1:39:37will fight back from this and I will come back for Beijing.
1:39:37 > 1:39:44And hopefully I can do Britain proud then.
1:39:44 > 1:39:49Fingers crossed that her fortunes change over the next four years and
1:39:49 > 1:39:53we will see her eventually come away with an Olympic medal. She is of
1:39:53 > 1:39:56course a three-time world champion. You just feel that an Olympic medal
1:39:56 > 1:40:01may elude her in four years time as well. But it just goes to show what
1:40:01 > 1:40:05a brutal sport the short track can be.
1:40:05 > 1:40:08Thank you very much. It certainly has been brutal for Elise Christie.
1:40:08 > 1:40:12Everyone has an opinion on her. A huge discussion point on social
1:40:12 > 1:40:19media. You skated with her in Sochi and has been her teammate for many
1:40:19 > 1:40:25years. Nice to see you. She is already talking about Beijing,
1:40:25 > 1:40:28straight after that huge disappointment, showing what a
1:40:28 > 1:40:33fighter she is. Do you think she will actually be there in Beijing at
1:40:33 > 1:40:37the Winter Olympics?I would love to see her there because I think she
1:40:37 > 1:40:41still believes she is good enough and we all do, so fingers crossed in
1:40:41 > 1:40:45four years she can do it. It is another four years, she has to go
1:40:45 > 1:40:50through all of the training, and I think it will be tough. At first and
1:40:50 > 1:40:53foremost she has to get back home and take some time and recover from
1:40:53 > 1:40:57the injury.She is obviously good enough because of what she has
1:40:57 > 1:41:01achieved so far, but there's been a lot of criticism about how much she
1:41:01 > 1:41:06pushes. Her determination is in no doubt at all and that's brilliant,
1:41:06 > 1:41:11but the penalties that have been applied, the disqualification, it
1:41:11 > 1:41:17implies she misjudges how far she should push to win.I think she does
1:41:17 > 1:41:23push it to the limits.Beyond?I don't think so. We've seen her
1:41:23 > 1:41:28become world champion in the last 12 months. She knows she can do it and
1:41:28 > 1:41:32that's plain to her strengths. I think maybe there are things that
1:41:32 > 1:41:37have gone against her, but she will probably say she has made a few
1:41:37 > 1:41:41mistakes, but she has been there and done it and got World Championship
1:41:41 > 1:41:46titles, it just wasn't meant to be at this Olympics.Is she more
1:41:46 > 1:41:50emotionally charged at this Olympics than in the past? There have been a
1:41:50 > 1:41:53lot of tears and instances when she's weeping because she has either
1:41:53 > 1:41:57been disqualified or injured herself. Is that part of her
1:41:57 > 1:42:01character?I think so. That's her way of being able to release after
1:42:01 > 1:42:05races. She lets out that outburst of emotion and then she can and switch
1:42:05 > 1:42:10back to being very determined when she comes back to the start line for
1:42:10 > 1:42:13the next race. I think the biggest challenge is just being able to
1:42:13 > 1:42:23switch back into racing mode and she can do that.Do you think that...
1:42:23 > 1:42:26Naga was talking about the criticism. Many people have said she
1:42:26 > 1:42:31is a role model because of the way she keeps coming back. How does she
1:42:31 > 1:42:35want to be seen? I know she is so frustrated she can't get analytic
1:42:35 > 1:42:39medal, but how do she analyse how she is being viewed by everyone else
1:42:39 > 1:42:43and how kids might look up to her?I think she is very inspired a fact
1:42:43 > 1:42:48that she has been able to inspire these and the messages she has been
1:42:48 > 1:42:54sending have been -- she has been sent have been really nice and I
1:42:54 > 1:42:58think we have seen that she didn't make it to the finish line but the
1:42:58 > 1:43:01messages she has gotten around the world, even the Korean fans looked
1:43:01 > 1:43:05like they were devastated when she fell over. She wants to inspire
1:43:05 > 1:43:09people but also be seen as a successful athlete in her own right.
1:43:09 > 1:43:13No one really wants to be that kind of person.She wants to still put
1:43:13 > 1:43:17that right. How are you prepped psychologically, and emotionally for
1:43:17 > 1:43:23this? Because you said these Olympic Games weren't meant to be for her
1:43:23 > 1:43:30this time, but you could say that about not winning a sack race or an
1:43:30 > 1:43:32egg and spoon race, but not something you trained for your
1:43:32 > 1:43:39entire life, or can you? Do you go, it wasn't my time? It seems to
1:43:39 > 1:43:44reasonable, almost.That's part of being a sports person. We go out and
1:43:44 > 1:43:50we put ourselves on the line knowing that it could go wrong. Police does
1:43:50 > 1:43:56push the boundaries and goes out there to win -- Elise. The psych
1:43:56 > 1:44:00team have made sure she can deal with whatever comes.What are you
1:44:00 > 1:44:04told to do when you lose and its dramatic?It is being able to take
1:44:04 > 1:44:09it back and she will probably now spend time in the next couple of
1:44:09 > 1:44:13months debriefing on where she went wrong. She will look and fingers
1:44:13 > 1:44:17crossed she is able to see the key point is that she could have done
1:44:17 > 1:44:20differently. I think sitting here today after the race, it is
1:44:20 > 1:44:24difficult to do that. But it is almost taking the emotion out of it,
1:44:24 > 1:44:28sitting back and debriefing.I don't see her changing from being that all
1:44:28 > 1:44:33or nothing. Issue going to change that?Being in a racing situation
1:44:33 > 1:44:37where you have to make quick decisions and be in the moment, I
1:44:37 > 1:44:42think that kind of is what we need in the sport, someone who is
1:44:42 > 1:44:46determined to win and is able to just think fast and think, I'm going
1:44:46 > 1:44:50to do that because that's what I believe is best.The fact that it's
1:44:50 > 1:44:57a brutal and unbelievable is what makes it so good to watch. Thanks.
1:44:57 > 1:45:06Thanks very much. Let's find out if it's going to be icy. Not
1:45:06 > 1:45:09Pyeongchang levels, but what about the UK?
1:45:09 > 1:45:15Wait until next week, curling on the North Sea next week, that's maybe an
1:45:15 > 1:45:18exaggeration, but colder next week, a gradual step down to the colder
1:45:18 > 1:45:22weather for the rest of the week into the weekend. Lots of sunshine
1:45:22 > 1:45:26over the next few days, a cloudy start in Norfolk. Our Weather
1:45:26 > 1:45:31Watcher pictures coming in. This is the satellite, high pressure and
1:45:31 > 1:45:35cloud moving around, north-easterly flow, cloud moving into England and
1:45:35 > 1:45:39Wales overnight temperatures here haven't dipped too far, clear skies
1:45:39 > 1:45:44in Scotland, a frost and a few fog patches in Northern Ireland. A few
1:45:44 > 1:45:48light showers around in England and Wales but most places will stay dry.
1:45:48 > 1:45:53When it comes to the wind, you can't see too many arrows, very light
1:45:53 > 1:45:57winds, variable cloud, sunshine, the best of the sunshine in Scotland and
1:45:57 > 1:46:02those temperatures are edging down a bit. If you're in a bit of blue sky,
1:46:02 > 1:46:05sunshine this afternoon, with thy light breeze, not feeling too bad.
1:46:05 > 1:46:11The areas of cloud will disappear further tonight. You can see the
1:46:11 > 1:46:15satellite showing the clear parts. That means temperatures drop a bit
1:46:15 > 1:46:19further tonight compare to last night. More of us tomorrow will wake
1:46:19 > 1:46:25up with a frost -- compared to. A few degrees below freezing
1:46:25 > 1:46:29particularly in rural spots. Some fog to start the day. Some patches
1:46:29 > 1:46:34will be slow to clear. Away from those, sunny spells, variable cloud,
1:46:34 > 1:46:38the breeze picking up a little bit for Northern Ireland into western
1:46:38 > 1:46:41Scotland. Look at the wind arrows, the chance of catching a few light
1:46:41 > 1:46:45showers ahead of a weather system well to the north-west of us and
1:46:45 > 1:46:51those temperatures leak a degree or so into Thursday. Pleasant, with
1:46:51 > 1:46:56light winds and sunshine, the same on Friday, the breeze picking up in
1:46:56 > 1:46:59Western and southern areas, though. The chance for a light shower
1:46:59 > 1:47:03somewhere but the vast majority will stay dry and temperatures around
1:47:03 > 1:47:09four, five, six almost by Friday. Cooling down a bit into the weekend.
1:47:09 > 1:47:13This is the weather set up with high pressure from Scandinavia, flowing
1:47:13 > 1:47:16from the south-east, with us all the way through the weekend into next
1:47:16 > 1:47:21week. Ecole direction for the air coming in. Temperatures over the
1:47:21 > 1:47:26weekend coming down a few degrees -- a cold. It will feel colder in the
1:47:26 > 1:47:31wind but a lot of dry, sunny weather over the weekend, more cloud at
1:47:31 > 1:47:34times in eastern Scotland and north-east England. For the weekend,
1:47:34 > 1:47:39looking dry with sunshine. A cold wind but hold off in saying anything
1:47:39 > 1:47:43feels particularly cold until next week when temperatures will be a
1:47:43 > 1:47:47good few degrees below freezing, for some even by day, that is the latest
1:47:47 > 1:47:52forecast. In the middle of the week, the chance for some snow. Really
1:47:52 > 1:47:57cold weather coming in from the east next week. Looks like we're keeping
1:47:57 > 1:48:02this easterly flow for a week or more. If you're holding out for
1:48:02 > 1:48:05spring, that seems some distance away just yet.
1:48:05 > 1:48:10It seems an age away. Nick, thanks very much.
1:48:10 > 1:48:13Good morning.
1:48:13 > 1:48:16Compassion symbols are increasingly being used in hospitals to remind
1:48:16 > 1:48:19staff and visitors to be more respectful around patients receiving
1:48:19 > 1:48:20end of life care.
1:48:20 > 1:48:23The signs are displayed on rooms or wards where a patient
1:48:23 > 1:48:26is expected to die within hours or days or when someone has
1:48:26 > 1:48:32just passed away.
1:48:32 > 1:48:35Tracey Bleakley is the Chief Executive of Hospice UK.
1:48:35 > 1:48:38She's joined by Patricia Mayle, who used the compassion symbol
1:48:38 > 1:48:39scheme before her husband died.
1:48:39 > 1:48:44Good morning to you both.Good morning.Patricia, let's start with
1:48:44 > 1:48:50you, your husband died three and a half years ago. What happened?My
1:48:50 > 1:48:55husband died of a very serious stroke. A brainstem stroke. He was
1:48:55 > 1:49:02incapacitated completely. Lived for eight and a half weeks. The end of
1:49:02 > 1:49:07this life meant he was put onto palliative care, that's when we
1:49:07 > 1:49:12first saw the symbol, pinned to the door of the he was in.What did that
1:49:12 > 1:49:19mean?At first it meant nothing but I was told that it meant every
1:49:19 > 1:49:23member of staff, no matter what rank, knew that the person was on
1:49:23 > 1:49:30end of life care and that it meant we as a family were treated with
1:49:30 > 1:49:34respect and even though my husband was no longer eating and drinking,
1:49:34 > 1:49:44we were fed and watered. It means that you are offered moment of,
1:49:44 > 1:49:49little air locks, hand prints, photographs and what they call
1:49:49 > 1:49:55comfort bags, small bags of toiletries -- air locks. The girl
1:49:55 > 1:50:03guides did those -- air.Did that make a difference?Yes it did --
1:50:03 > 1:50:09air.It's got to be right.You only get one chance. It's got to be right
1:50:09 > 1:50:14for every patient every time. That's the aim, to try and have it like
1:50:14 > 1:50:20that.Made a difference to Patrick, that must be why it has proven to be
1:50:20 > 1:50:24such a good way of doing these things because of the impact it has
1:50:24 > 1:50:28on the family.That's right, it's a whole system of compassionate care.
1:50:28 > 1:50:32It's about switching from thinking about just the patient to thinking
1:50:32 > 1:50:35about the whole family and what they need. Pat was running out of the
1:50:35 > 1:50:39door to see her husband she could barely think about putting her shoes
1:50:39 > 1:50:44and coat on, she was in thinking she would need a toothbrush or shower
1:50:44 > 1:50:48gel. When you get there, you're in a busy place and you want peace and
1:50:48 > 1:50:54quiet. For someone to offer you a cup of tea or for someone paying for
1:50:54 > 1:50:57your car parking, those acts of kindness that people need and value
1:50:57 > 1:51:05at that time.Pat mentioned it was a swan?Yes, a swan logo.Any reason
1:51:05 > 1:51:09certain symbols are chosen? A swan in this case but that's not always
1:51:09 > 1:51:14the case, is it?There are schemes designed locally, people will think
1:51:14 > 1:51:18of things that mean things to them. In Northern Ireland there is a
1:51:18 > 1:51:22compassion symbol, some people use a rose, in children it might be a
1:51:22 > 1:51:27snowdrop or a butterfly.Having been through that yourself and seeing the
1:51:27 > 1:51:32benefit, are you helping to make these comfort bags for others?I am.
1:51:32 > 1:51:37I attended a Griezmann group 12 months after. They were appealing
1:51:37 > 1:51:44for people to so these little bags, just a drawstring bag -- bereavement
1:51:44 > 1:51:49group. I said I couldn't do that. And they asked for contents. Where
1:51:49 > 1:51:55they were getting them from was just haphazard. I was a Girl Guide since
1:51:55 > 1:52:01I was ten, I thought, maybe we could do something so I tentatively said,
1:52:01 > 1:52:08I can't promise but maybe. We launched it in September 2015 that
1:52:08 > 1:52:12Girl Guiding in Greater Manchester west, Salford and Trafford, would
1:52:12 > 1:52:18provide comfort bags. It has gone crazy. We have done 3000 and we
1:52:18 > 1:52:23extended it to north-west England a year later. In north-west England
1:52:23 > 1:52:30they've done over 7000.Wow.Every child, every member from the
1:52:30 > 1:52:34youngest to the oldest can take part.It shows how important it is
1:52:34 > 1:52:38but we shouldn't forget, Tracy, there is no assumption that care
1:52:38 > 1:52:44isn't given or thought isn't made for those who are suffering
1:52:44 > 1:52:49bereavement or dealing with loved ones in palliative care. It's an
1:52:49 > 1:52:54extra symbol, isn't it? About it is and the key to its communication
1:52:54 > 1:52:59is...
1:53:00 > 1:53:03is... It's all about weather people want a quiet space and weather they
1:53:03 > 1:53:09want people in and out.
1:53:09 > 1:53:11want people in and out. It's not just about the nurses and the
1:53:11 > 1:53:15doctors, other people in there as well.And people floating around the
1:53:15 > 1:53:21hospital, a sign that says, don't go in and say something stupid. Be
1:53:21 > 1:53:26aware of what's happening.Keep the noise down outside.What about the
1:53:26 > 1:53:30workers? Pat, you were there and focused on your husband, as your
1:53:30 > 1:53:34family was, but since you've been working with the bags, any comments
1:53:34 > 1:53:39on how other people have said it has helped them? It's very difficult to
1:53:39 > 1:53:43talk to a family going through a tough time. You often don't know
1:53:43 > 1:53:47weather to intrude or offer sympathy.That's right, I haven't
1:53:47 > 1:53:52had any patient contact. I've been volunteering at Salford Royal but
1:53:52 > 1:53:58more on the bereavement office side. I don't really have contact with
1:53:58 > 1:54:04actual patients.It's difficult I would imagine from the other side
1:54:04 > 1:54:07seeing people almost tiptoeing around you?Yeah. That's a good
1:54:07 > 1:54:15thing about the symbol. Everyone knows. Everyone who enters the room
1:54:15 > 1:54:20or goes past is aware of what you are going through.Of the last thing
1:54:20 > 1:54:24you want to do is explain what's happening to your husband each time
1:54:24 > 1:54:28that the last thing.Absolutely. Great to see you coming in and
1:54:28 > 1:54:33you're now helping others -- the last thing
1:54:33 > 1:54:39you're now helping others -- the last thing. We are talking about
1:54:39 > 1:54:41sleep this morning and how much teenagers need.
1:54:41 > 1:54:48What's the story?There's a school, we have spoken to a head teacher at
1:54:48 > 1:54:55a school, starting school later for teenagers.
1:54:57 > 1:55:00teenagers. If you are struggling with a teenager this morning, it you
1:55:00 > 1:55:06are struggling with teenagers this morning, there's a reason they are
1:55:06 > 1:55:12so tired.Jackie said not helpful preparing a young person for a
1:55:12 > 1:55:16workplace where they can't choose their hours. Kirin said you will
1:55:16 > 1:55:20have the same problem later in the morning when they are meant to be
1:55:20 > 1:55:25getting up. Sounds like Kirin is the parent.This is a period in time it
1:55:25 > 1:55:31affects them, they do grow out of it literally -- Kieron.Amy says not
1:55:31 > 1:55:35all teenagers have this. As a university student I struggle to
1:55:35 > 1:55:40stay up beyond 9:30pm. School at 7am would have stopped me being in dance
1:55:40 > 1:55:44classes and the girls Brigade, a very important part of my
1:55:44 > 1:55:49development, so one size doesn't fit all.Siobhan said her contours, and
1:55:49 > 1:55:54best period is in the morning. We could learn a thing or two from her
1:55:54 > 1:56:00-- her best period. Graham, what are you talking about again?Well, Naga,
1:56:00 > 1:56:04I'm talking about what you have been talking about. We're at a school
1:56:04 > 1:56:10this morning where teenagers start later, A-level students start at
1:56:10 > 1:56:14Hampton Court House at 1pm. Some people on e-mail might be saying
1:56:14 > 1:56:18their OK, they wake up early, but the science is settled on this and
1:56:18 > 1:56:23the answer lies in the teenage rain -- they are OK. Particularly the
1:56:23 > 1:56:28part that controls the body clock that shifts in teenage years. Should
1:56:28 > 1:56:32they start later in the day? We will find out later
1:56:32 > 1:59:51they start later in the day? We will find out later
1:59:51 > 1:59:52in half an hour.
1:59:52 > 1:59:54Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
1:59:54 > 1:59:55Bye for now.
2:00:13 > 2:00:15Hello.
2:00:15 > 2:00:23This is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty.
2:00:23 > 2:00:25A move on gun policy in the United States.
2:00:25 > 2:00:27President Trump indicates he's willing to make a change.
2:00:27 > 2:00:30As students prepare to march in the state capital after last
2:00:30 > 2:00:32week's school shooting, he says he'd support a ban
2:00:32 > 2:00:40on devices which turn rifles into machine guns.
2:00:46 > 2:00:47Good morning.
2:00:47 > 2:00:50It's Wednesday 21st February.
2:00:50 > 2:00:56Also this morning...
2:00:56 > 2:00:58Warnings of a humanitarian disaster in Syria where hundreds of people
2:00:58 > 2:01:02have died after days of bombing.
2:01:02 > 2:01:04We look at how early onset dementia could be linked
2:01:04 > 2:01:12to regular heavy drinking.
2:01:14 > 2:01:18It is an essential time of year for British livestock farmers,
2:01:18 > 2:01:23especially sheep farmers, as all the animals go out into the field. It is
2:01:23 > 2:01:27also a hazardous time and the potential for dog attacks go up.
2:01:27 > 2:01:31British police chiefs are saying the time for action to tackle the issue
2:01:31 > 2:01:34is now.
2:01:34 > 2:01:36KFC has admitted many of its restaurants could be closed
2:01:36 > 2:01:39for the rest of the week as the chain enters another
2:01:39 > 2:01:40day of supply problems.
2:01:40 > 2:01:52I will have the latest. Some great news for the British women's linked
2:01:52 > 2:01:56team in Pyeongchang. The men, if they want to get through to the last
2:01:56 > 2:02:02four, they will have to come through a play-off against Switzerland.
2:02:02 > 2:02:06Nick has the weather. With high-pressure, the weather is
2:02:06 > 2:02:10quieter, drier for the rest of the week into the weekend. Increasing
2:02:10 > 2:02:14amounts of sunshine at the weekend. Things are turning colder gradually
2:02:14 > 2:02:20and next week much, much colder. The fall forecast coming up. I will look
2:02:20 > 2:02:23forward to it.
2:02:23 > 2:02:24First, our main story.
2:02:24 > 2:02:27President Trump has suggested he could be willing to make some
2:02:27 > 2:02:29changes on gun control laws, following the school shooting
2:02:29 > 2:02:30in Florida last week.
2:02:30 > 2:02:33He has signed an order to ban bump-stock devices which turn
2:02:33 > 2:02:34rifles into machine guns.
2:02:34 > 2:02:36They were used by a gunman who killed 58 Las Vegas
2:02:36 > 2:02:39concert-goers last year.
2:02:39 > 2:02:43Mr Trump says legislation could be ready "very soon".
2:02:43 > 2:02:46Our North America correspondent David Willis reports.
2:02:46 > 2:02:50Do we know where the shooter is?!
2:02:50 > 2:02:53The scenes are nothing new here, but last week's high school shooting
2:02:53 > 2:02:57in Florida has galvanised the debate on gun control in America in a way
2:02:57 > 2:03:00few here can remember.
2:03:00 > 2:03:02Students who survived an attack which killed 17
2:03:02 > 2:03:04of their teachers and classmates are speaking out fluently
2:03:04 > 2:03:07and forcefully.
2:03:07 > 2:03:10Do not let people try to get under your skin!
2:03:10 > 2:03:13Their youthful voices resonating where those of long
2:03:13 > 2:03:18serving politicians have largely fallen flat.
2:03:18 > 2:03:20We are what's bringing the change.
2:03:20 > 2:03:21We're going to keep talking.
2:03:21 > 2:03:24We're going to keep pushing until something is done,
2:03:24 > 2:03:28because people are dying and this can't happen any more.
2:03:28 > 2:03:30Reflecting the national mood of grief and anger
2:03:30 > 2:03:34in the wake of last week's shooting, President Trump, who supports gun
2:03:34 > 2:03:38ownership, offered a concession - a ban on bump-stocks,
2:03:38 > 2:03:41a device used to devastating effect in the Las Vegas massacre
2:03:41 > 2:03:44last year.
2:03:44 > 2:03:48I signed a memorandum directing the attorney general to proposed
2:03:48 > 2:03:50regulations to ban all devices that turn legal
2:03:50 > 2:03:56weapons into machine-guns.
2:03:56 > 2:03:59Students arriving for a rally later today in the Florida state capital
2:03:59 > 2:04:03Tallahassee say that's not enough.
2:04:03 > 2:04:06Some are heading to Washington at the invitation of the White House
2:04:06 > 2:04:09to press the case for comprehensive gun reforms
2:04:09 > 2:04:12with the President himself.
2:04:12 > 2:04:13Some here are hailing it a turning point
2:04:13 > 2:04:16in the acrimonious debate about guns, but America has been
2:04:16 > 2:04:24here so many times before.
2:04:35 > 2:04:39The Supreme Court --
2:04:39 > 2:04:41The Supreme Court is to rule on whether the Metropolitan Police
2:04:41 > 2:04:43failed two victims of black cab rapist John Worboys.
2:04:43 > 2:04:45Scotland Yard is appealing against a previous decision
2:04:45 > 2:04:47that they breached the human rights of two women whose testimony
2:04:47 > 2:04:49they failed to investigate properly.
2:04:49 > 2:04:50The Metropolitan Police argues it had practices
2:04:50 > 2:04:51and procedures in place.
2:04:51 > 2:04:54If the ruling is upheld, this could be a landmark case
2:04:54 > 2:04:55for victims' rights.
2:04:55 > 2:04:57more than 60 Brexit supporting MPs have written to the Prime Minister
2:04:57 > 2:05:00is saying what they think Britain should achieve from a deal with
2:05:00 > 2:05:04Brussels.
2:05:04 > 2:05:06The MPs, from the European Research Group of Tory backbenchers,
2:05:06 > 2:05:08insist that Britain should be free to negotiate trade deals
2:05:08 > 2:05:10with other countries, as soon as it leaves the EU.
2:05:10 > 2:05:13Senior ministers will meet tomorrow to discuss what the government wants
2:05:13 > 2:05:18from the final Brexit deal.
2:05:18 > 2:05:20Relatives of a missing 29-year-old man have travelled to Israel
2:05:20 > 2:05:23in the hope of raising awareness of his disappearance.
2:05:23 > 2:05:28Oliver McAfee from County Down in Northern Ireland
2:05:28 > 2:05:30was last seen three months ago while cycling near Mitzpe Ramon.
2:05:30 > 2:05:32Let's get more detail from our Middle East Correspondent,
2:05:32 > 2:05:35Tom Bateman, who is in our Jerusalem newsroom.
2:05:35 > 2:05:44Morning to you. What more do we know about this case?It was the 21st of
2:05:44 > 2:05:48November that Oliver McAfee was last seen. He had been away from home for
2:05:48 > 2:05:52many months. He was cycling through Europe and arrived in northern
2:05:52 > 2:05:57Israel where he was on a popular cycling trail. He came to Jerusalem
2:05:57 > 2:06:01and was cycling through the Desert and that is the last anyone heard of
2:06:01 > 2:06:05him. Police found some of his belongings full debate also found
2:06:05 > 2:06:10piles of stones and pieces of paper with words written from the Bible on
2:06:10 > 2:06:14it. The police have said, they said last month, they believe he is still
2:06:14 > 2:06:21alive but they have no more details. The search has yielded nothing. The
2:06:21 > 2:06:23family has arrived and they will hold a conference later this morning
2:06:23 > 2:06:29was a base say they want to revitalise the investigation, this
2:06:29 > 2:06:36search. -- this morning - they say they want to revitalise the
2:06:36 > 2:06:49investigation. The lack of anything is taking its control. -- told.
2:06:49 > 2:06:52Heavy drinking may be a major risk factor for the early
2:06:52 > 2:06:53onset of dementia.
2:06:53 > 2:06:55Scientists in France looked at 57-thousand cases
2:06:55 > 2:06:57of dementia in people under 65, and found that a third
2:06:57 > 2:06:59could have been caused by alcohol-related brain damage.
2:06:59 > 2:07:00Ben Ando reports.
2:07:00 > 2:07:03Doctors already know heavy drinking can lead to problems in the brain,
2:07:03 > 2:07:06but this study focused on links specifically to early onset
2:07:06 > 2:07:07dementia, that means affecting people younger than 65.
2:07:07 > 2:07:10Researchers analysed the medical records of more than 30 million
2:07:10 > 2:07:12people in France, who'd spent time in hospital
2:07:12 > 2:07:17during 2008 and 2013.
2:07:17 > 2:07:19They published the results in the Lancet health journal.
2:07:19 > 2:07:22In that nationwide group they found 1 million people with dementia
2:07:22 > 2:07:27and of these 57,000 were under 65.
2:07:27 > 2:07:29Among those people, heavy drinking was linked to 39%,
2:07:29 > 2:07:34or nearly one in four cases.
2:07:34 > 2:07:37For this study, heavy drinking was defined as a daily intake
2:07:37 > 2:07:39of more than four units of alcohol for women
2:07:39 > 2:07:40and six for men, that's the equivalent
2:07:40 > 2:07:45of three pints of beer.
2:07:45 > 2:07:47Previous research has suggested that drinking small
2:07:47 > 2:07:53amounts, particularly of red wine, can have a positive effect.
2:07:53 > 2:07:56Those studies really focus on very modest levels of alcohol intake,
2:07:56 > 2:07:59perhaps one or two units a day, and perhaps that has lulled us
2:07:59 > 2:08:02into a false sense of security and perhaps we haven't seen
2:08:02 > 2:08:04the other side of the curve, where people have higher levels
2:08:04 > 2:08:07of alcohol consumption that can be harmful to the brain
2:08:07 > 2:08:12in a variety of ways.
2:08:12 > 2:08:14The Alzheimer's Society says it's aware of the risks of heavy
2:08:14 > 2:08:17drinking and its advice to everyone remains the same -
2:08:17 > 2:08:25try to drink no more than 14 units of alcohol per week.
2:08:25 > 2:08:26The majority of small and medium-sized companies
2:08:26 > 2:08:30are still paying male employees more than their female colleagues,
2:08:30 > 2:08:32according to the latest government figures.
2:08:32 > 2:08:35Just 15% of businesses have a higher wage bill for women.
2:08:35 > 2:08:42Companies have six weeks left to report their gender pay gap.
2:08:42 > 2:08:48So far almost 1,000 businesses have responded out of the 9,000 asked.
2:08:48 > 2:08:51The impact of social media and screen use on young people's
2:08:51 > 2:08:52health is to be examined by MPs.
2:08:52 > 2:08:54The Science and Technology Committee will address mounting
2:08:54 > 2:08:56concerns that mobile phones, in particular, are harming
2:08:56 > 2:08:59children and young adults.
2:08:59 > 2:09:01Earlier, Norman Lamb told this programme that the inquiry
2:09:01 > 2:09:09would look at the positives and risks of social media.
2:09:10 > 2:09:12Children's lives have changed compared with what earlier
2:09:12 > 2:09:18generations went through in terms of the intensity of use of mobile
2:09:18 > 2:09:23phones, smart social media. We need to understand what the effects are,
2:09:23 > 2:09:27positive and negative. It is important not just think of this is
2:09:27 > 2:09:31a problem. Of course, for very many young people they are now getting
2:09:31 > 2:09:40access to help with mental health problems, for example, online.
2:09:48 > 2:09:57It is time for the Brits. Young people, music. It was lovely.
2:09:57 > 2:10:03Anyway, let's move on. His one person who is hoping to bag a trophy
2:10:03 > 2:10:13tonight.
2:10:14 > 2:10:18tonight. Dua Lipa has the highest number of nominations ever given to
2:10:18 > 2:10:26a female artist. She is very popular. I've said her name! She is
2:10:26 > 2:10:30heading towards 200,000 sales for her self titled debut album. Of
2:10:30 > 2:10:41course we wish all the Domine nominees the best of luck. --
2:10:41 > 2:10:44nominees.
2:10:44 > 2:10:46The United Nations says it's deeply worried for hundreds of thousands
2:10:46 > 2:10:49of people in Syria trapped by a mounting government bombardment
2:10:49 > 2:10:50of the rebel-held area of Eastern Ghouta.
2:10:50 > 2:10:52The Syrian government has insisted it's only
2:10:52 > 2:10:53targeting militant fighters.
2:10:53 > 2:10:55Our Middle East Editor, Jeremy Bowen, looks
2:10:55 > 2:10:56at the impact of the attacks.
2:10:56 > 2:11:03This could be the beginning of the
2:11:04 > 2:11:07end of smaller, rebel Harold enclaves around Damascus have been
2:11:07 > 2:11:16starved and bombed into submission. Activists in eastern scooter say
2:11:16 > 2:11:22this is as bad as it has been.
2:11:22 > 2:11:25this is as bad as it has been.We can hear women and children crying
2:11:25 > 2:11:32through windows of their home. There was bombing en masse like rain.
2:11:32 > 2:11:40There is nowhere to hide from this nightmare.-- on us. They have set
2:11:40 > 2:11:45up a network of underground hospitals. This girl, named in
2:11:45 > 2:11:49Arabic Angel, escaped the worst but will have to go back to the streets
2:11:49 > 2:11:57to get home. And this is her area will
2:11:57 > 2:12:03will stop with the regime plane dropping what appears to be a barrel
2:12:03 > 2:12:09bomb. Unguided, and indiscriminate killer. The Syrian regime denies
2:12:09 > 2:12:14attacking civilians. It says it is trying to liberate eastern Ghouta
2:12:14 > 2:12:20from terrorists. How many times in the last seven years have Syrians
2:12:20 > 2:12:25dug through the rubble for survivors? There is talk of safe
2:12:25 > 2:12:31corridors out for civilians but, based on past form, the regime wants
2:12:31 > 2:12:35victory in eastern Ghouta and the surrender of the rebels.
2:12:35 > 2:12:41Joining us now from Delhi, is Hamish De Bretton-Gordon.
2:12:41 > 2:12:53He runs Doctors Under Fire which has sent teams to eastern Ghouta. I
2:12:53 > 2:12:57understand you lost one of your doctors very recently. Can I start
2:12:57 > 2:13:01by saying my condolences to you and your team. Can you tell us what
2:13:01 > 2:13:05happened?
2:13:05 > 2:13:09What we are seeing very clearly as genocide. Then we saw the chemical
2:13:09 > 2:13:16attack here in Ghouta, we thought it could not get any worse. With the
2:13:16 > 2:13:23union of Syrian medical charities, who I work with and support in
2:13:23 > 2:13:28Aleppo in 2016, we thought it could not get any worse. As you have heard
2:13:28 > 2:13:35and seen over the last 48 hours, an unbelievable barrage has happened,
2:13:35 > 2:13:40both high explosives and also some chemicals. Four of our hospitals
2:13:40 > 2:13:44have been destroyed, some of them underground and directly targeted.
2:13:44 > 2:13:48They are at action. We have another four which are also out of action.
2:13:48 > 2:13:56Very sadly, one doctor was killed overnight and we have also just
2:13:56 > 2:14:03heard a nurse, who I don't know the name of yet, was also killed this
2:14:03 > 2:14:09direct targeting of hospitals and medical staff is a crime against
2:14:09 > 2:14:11humanity, against every Geneva Convention. It is being done
2:14:11 > 2:14:17deliberately to break the will of the people. The figure of 200 dead
2:14:17 > 2:14:22in 1000 injured over the last 48 hours is probably a massive under
2:14:22 > 2:14:27estimation. It is an absolute living hell. The UN has called for a
2:14:27 > 2:14:31ceasefire. Brief few world leaders have stepped forward to do that. We
2:14:31 > 2:14:39know that President Putin is the one who holds the line here and we urge
2:14:39 > 2:14:41world leaders like Donald Trump and Theresa May, and I will be speaking
2:14:41 > 2:14:44to the Indian Prime Minister on Friday, asking him and them to get
2:14:44 > 2:14:49involved get the ceasefire that the Russians can deliver.Have you had
2:14:49 > 2:14:53any access to the advisers of President Putin in terms of asking
2:14:53 > 2:15:01for help?We have. We have been talking to the Russians and
2:15:01 > 2:15:05President Putin and Assad over the last 12 months. You manage to get
2:15:05 > 2:15:11500 children out of Aleppo in December, 2016. We got 29 children
2:15:11 > 2:15:17dying of cancer out of Ghouta on Boxing Day just a few weeks ago. We
2:15:17 > 2:15:21know that Putin can deliver the ceasefire and make a sad do as he
2:15:21 > 2:15:26sees fit. We know the election for Putin is coming up in a few weeks'
2:15:26 > 2:15:34time and we urge him to force his ally, Assad, into a ceasefire. We
2:15:34 > 2:15:39know he has won but what is key is to stop the bloodshed and killing.
2:15:39 > 2:15:43We have children who are dying and urgently need medical support.
2:15:43 > 2:15:48Unless we get them out, they will die as some have died in the last
2:15:48 > 2:15:52few weeks will stop there are a thousand other adults who need
2:15:52 > 2:15:59life-saving medical support. Quite apart from those starving, 25% of
2:15:59 > 2:16:04children have severe malnutrition in Ghouta. No proper food has got there
2:16:04 > 2:16:08in four years. It is an absolute living hell. It will make sure the
2:16:08 > 2:16:17nits are pale into something very different.
2:16:18 > 2:16:21different.You've been speaking to President Putin's camper, and you
2:16:21 > 2:16:27are asking the Indian leader to help as well as bass what needs to be
2:16:27 > 2:16:32done? Is the only possible solution to remove these children from the
2:16:32 > 2:16:37area, is that it, in terms of having a future in terms of families living
2:16:37 > 2:16:41there in the future? Well, the very near future, we need a ceasefire. We
2:16:41 > 2:16:44need these bombs and bullets that are raining down every minute of
2:16:44 > 2:16:52every day to stop.The future? The place is raised to the ground.
2:16:52 > 2:16:55Ghouta is flattened, it has virtually no power, no running
2:16:55 > 2:17:01water, no food. Is a secondary thing. We'd made to get these
2:17:01 > 2:17:05children out, certainly these 125 who are going to die without medical
2:17:05 > 2:17:10support. 25% are dying of malnutrition. This is in Western
2:17:10 > 2:17:13Europe, this is the age of the Mediterranean, how on earth can we
2:17:13 > 2:17:25stand by and let this happen? In the longer term, the Geneva
2:17:25 > 2:17:27longer term, the Geneva peace peace process is what we must support for
2:17:27 > 2:17:30a long-term process to reconstruct and rebuild Syria still at the
2:17:30 > 2:17:32moment in Ghouta we have 400,000 people and if we don't do anything,
2:17:32 > 2:17:35it would appear that the regime are going to kill them all in order that
2:17:35 > 2:17:38they can claim total victory in Syria. I think we've just got to
2:17:38 > 2:17:40accept they've won, whatever it means politically we must acquiesce
2:17:40 > 2:17:43to that and we must get food and medical supplies into Ghouta and a
2:17:43 > 2:17:53ceasefire to allow this to happen. Hamish De Bretton-Gordon, director
2:17:53 > 2:17:56of Doctors Under Fire, thank you for talking to us. John Maguire has been
2:17:56 > 2:17:59out and about four hours in north Wales this morning at it looks
2:17:59 > 2:18:03absolutely gorgeous there today. Looking out across the Menai
2:18:03 > 2:18:08Straits, you can see Anglesey in the background, and we will be back with
2:18:08 > 2:18:13John later in the programme. He's talking about measures to prevent
2:18:13 > 2:18:18animals, cattle, being worried by dogs who have been let off the lead,
2:18:18 > 2:18:21perhaps irresponsible dog owners or owners who do not know the character
2:18:21 > 2:18:25of the animal, we will be talking about, what can be done and what
2:18:25 > 2:18:29farmers can do as well. We can take you to north Wales for the weather
2:18:29 > 2:18:32now. And we start with
2:18:32 > 2:18:35you to north Wales for the weather now. And we start with fog and
2:18:35 > 2:18:41that's right.A fantastic view looking out there at north Wales,
2:18:41 > 2:18:46compared with this one, from this morning in Northern Ireland, where
2:18:46 > 2:18:51there are some fog patches around. Getting off to a frosty start as
2:18:51 > 2:18:55well. In Scotland there is a frost, with, which is a few degrees above
2:18:55 > 2:19:00freezing in much of England and Wales, where there is cloud. This
2:19:00 > 2:19:04cloud is coming in from the north-east and it is not going to
2:19:04 > 2:19:07deliver as much rain as yesterday but there are a few light showers
2:19:07 > 2:19:13around. But essentially it is a mainly dry day two come. Some of the
2:19:13 > 2:19:16cloud in England and Wales will break up a little bit allowing some
2:19:16 > 2:19:19sunshine to come through, but the best of the sunshine will be in
2:19:19 > 2:19:22Scotland and away from any of those fog patches in Northern Ireland,
2:19:22 > 2:19:26where it could be quite stubborn to clear today. Temperatures are on the
2:19:26 > 2:19:30way down a little bit. Around six-nine for the top temperature
2:19:30 > 2:19:37today. Temperatures gradually trailing off towards the weekend.
2:19:37 > 2:19:41Tonight, a lot of the land showing up across the UK, indicating where
2:19:41 > 2:19:45it is clear overnight. Still some fog patches around, but more clear
2:19:45 > 2:19:50whether tonight, and that means more in the way of frost. Below freezing,
2:19:50 > 2:19:53particularly in more rural spots. So, a frost to start the day
2:19:53 > 2:19:57tomorrow for many of us are, but there will be some sunshine to start
2:19:57 > 2:20:02the day. Still some areas of cloud around, some sunny spells and the
2:20:02 > 2:20:07breeze picking up a little bit for Northern Ireland into western
2:20:07 > 2:20:12Scotland, where there might be one or two light showers. Fog patches in
2:20:12 > 2:20:18the morning slow to clear. On Friday there will be more in the way of
2:20:18 > 2:20:24sunshine. Just a few areas of cloud around. You will notice a few more
2:20:24 > 2:20:30wind arrows showing up, so it turns out Breazeale on Friday. It will
2:20:30 > 2:20:35feel that bit colder. And that is a process which continues into the
2:20:35 > 2:20:39weekend. However, high pressure across Scandinavia, the flow of air
2:20:39 > 2:20:45coming around that from the east, so it is a chilly direction. But most
2:20:45 > 2:20:51places, dry over the weekend. A lot of sunshine, perhaps rowdier towards
2:20:51 > 2:20:54Eastern Scotland on Sunday, but most will see the sunshine. But notice
2:20:54 > 2:21:01those temperatures just they're coming down a few degrees and the
2:21:01 > 2:21:06breeze is picking up. Supposed dead feeling colder into the weekend, but
2:21:06 > 2:21:07some sunshine on
2:21:07 > 2:21:11feeling colder into the weekend, but some sunshine on the way.I am very
2:21:11 > 2:21:15much enjoying our new weather graphics.I would enjoy them if the
2:21:15 > 2:21:20numbers were a bit greater!But you like the look of them?Are we
2:21:20 > 2:21:25allowed to reserve opinion?
2:21:29 > 2:21:36allowed to reserve opinion? But Nick, YOU get ten out of ten!
2:21:36 > 2:21:38Nick, YOU get ten out of ten!We are talking about fast food this
2:21:38 > 2:21:41morning, and KFC has admitted that many of its restaurants could be
2:21:41 > 2:21:45close to the rest of the week. It is having more supply chain problems.
2:21:45 > 2:21:48Steph has more on that and the other main business stories.
2:21:48 > 2:21:55This is a really big story, isn't it? It is, because you don't realise
2:21:55 > 2:22:00what goes into making a restaurant like this function, with 900 outlets
2:22:00 > 2:22:03across the UK, and 400 of them are still closed this morning, and in
2:22:03 > 2:22:08the ones which are open, many of them have got reduced menus and
2:22:08 > 2:22:14shortened hours. We spoke yesterday about how this started, because KFC
2:22:14 > 2:22:18ditched its old delivery partner in favour of a new one, DHL. What is
2:22:18 > 2:22:25interesting is what the unions are -- now saying about it, GMB,
2:22:25 > 2:22:28represent some of the workers who worked for the previous supplier,
2:22:28 > 2:22:32they say KFC have switched their contracts to a company which doesn't
2:22:32 > 2:22:38have a track record in this area. -- previous delivery company. It is not
2:22:38 > 2:22:42as simple as delivering a parcel, of course. The unions are saying that
2:22:42 > 2:22:48DHL new weeks ago that it was going to struggle with delivery to KFC.
2:22:48 > 2:22:54Because of staffing issues and driver issues. They're saying that
2:22:54 > 2:22:59KFC and DHL should hold their hands up and apologised. Actually they
2:22:59 > 2:23:03both have, because KFC have said, we feel sorry for those who lost their
2:23:03 > 2:23:06jobs at the other supplier but the decision was not taken lightly. And
2:23:06 > 2:23:14also DHL have created jobs. DHL have also said, we regret the
2:23:14 > 2:23:18interruption of supply. And we apologise, they're basically trying
2:23:18 > 2:23:23to sort it out. But it is an interesting back story of how a
2:23:23 > 2:23:28company that size could have such a big problem.A quick word about the
2:23:28 > 2:23:34results from Lloyds?Yes, their results are out this morning and
2:23:34 > 2:23:37they are good but what is interesting is the fact that they
2:23:37 > 2:23:44are still setting aside money for PPI. £600 million set aside, 18
2:23:44 > 2:23:48billion now they have had to compensate people, that is a mega
2:23:48 > 2:23:52number!
2:23:52 > 2:23:54Dozens of students and parents from the Florida high school
2:23:54 > 2:23:56where 17 teenagers and staff members were killed last week
2:23:56 > 2:23:58will march in the state capital, Tallahassee,
2:23:58 > 2:24:00later, as part of a campaign to make schools safer.
2:24:00 > 2:24:03President Trump has indicated he's willing to ban devices which turn
2:24:03 > 2:24:05rifles into machine guns, allowing them to fire hundreds
2:24:05 > 2:24:07of bullets in rapid succession.
2:24:07 > 2:24:10Lewis Mizen is a student at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School,
2:24:10 > 2:24:18the scene of last week's shooting.
2:24:20 > 2:24:24He told us how his family and friends have been a source of
2:24:24 > 2:24:29strength.Yesterday morning I was at a friend's funeral and that was
2:24:29 > 2:24:32tough but again I'm surrounded by my friends and by family and the
2:24:32 > 2:24:35community and we are all getting through it day by day.You say you
2:24:35 > 2:24:39have already been to a friend's funeral as well as bass amongst many
2:24:39 > 2:24:42of the other students is there feeling at the moment that you need
2:24:42 > 2:24:48to channel this energy that you have for change at the moment, is that
2:24:48 > 2:24:51why there is such a pace about the way you're going about your business
2:24:51 > 2:24:56at the moment?We want to try and get as much done as we can while the
2:24:56 > 2:25:01focus is still on what has happened. If we take our time to grieve
2:25:01 > 2:25:05quietly on our own, for a few weeks, then by the time we're ready to come
2:25:05 > 2:25:10back out and try and make a change, nobody is going to care. So I feel
2:25:10 > 2:25:14like we have really, so is our grief into anger and into a need to make
2:25:14 > 2:25:18change, and that's what has been so phenomenal about the movement has a
2:25:18 > 2:25:23whole.We are waking up to the news that President Trump has signed this
2:25:23 > 2:25:28order to ban something which turns a normal weapon into a machine gun. Is
2:25:28 > 2:25:38that a step in the right direction or is it not enough?100% a step in
2:25:38 > 2:25:41the right direction and I think it is fantastic that he is doing it,
2:25:41 > 2:25:48because what I'm worried is happening to the movement is that it
2:25:48 > 2:25:51is becoming too politicised and too McGrath versus Republican, and the
2:25:51 > 2:25:57fact that Donald Trump is willing to show that he is willing to make
2:25:57 > 2:26:01inroads into this issue is phenomenal. And I hope that this
2:26:01 > 2:26:04does not become political because it is not a political issue, it is an
2:26:04 > 2:26:07American one and something which Americans need to be united on, it
2:26:07 > 2:26:10is about the safety of their children, and the fact that he is
2:26:10 > 2:26:13willing to make a step in the right direction with this executive order
2:26:13 > 2:26:17I think is fantastic.You've got an incredibly busy few days, you're
2:26:17 > 2:26:21taking part in a Town Hall meeting which is being broadcast live on
2:26:21 > 2:26:28CNN, you are meeting lawmakers today as well as bass what will be the
2:26:28 > 2:26:31points you are trying to get across to the lawmakers, and what do you
2:26:31 > 2:26:34want to see achieved by the end of the process?Not only do we want to
2:26:34 > 2:26:37talk about mental health care, which is incredibly important, but we also
2:26:37 > 2:26:42want to talk about why it is easier for people in Florida to get their
2:26:42 > 2:26:46hands on a semiautomatic weapons, the same kind of weapon which we
2:26:46 > 2:26:50give to soldiers to go and fight in wars with, it is easier to get those
2:26:50 > 2:26:54sort of weapons than it is to get a handgun. I don't know all the
2:26:54 > 2:26:57statistics but I don't know many school shootings that have been
2:26:57 > 2:27:04carried out by a guy with a handgun. Most of them occur with these kind
2:27:04 > 2:27:07of weapons of war. And so we really want to talk to them and try and...
2:27:07 > 2:27:10If Donald Trump is willing to make inroads then we hope that these
2:27:10 > 2:27:15state legislators will as well. I have got classmates who have faced
2:27:15 > 2:27:19these bullets from these weapons head on and if they are not prepared
2:27:19 > 2:27:22to face this problem head-on Ben Kite Frankie that is ridiculous.
2:27:22 > 2:27:28Once you have done all of this, the interview is on the TV programmes
2:27:28 > 2:27:32gone in front of the world press, will you get a chance to stock and
2:27:32 > 2:27:36to grieve, do you think, and how difficult will that be for you, and
2:27:36 > 2:27:41eventually going back to school as well?Well, the tentative start date
2:27:41 > 2:27:46for us going back to school is next Tuesday, I believe. We're doing a
2:27:46 > 2:27:50half day, and we're also going back in on Sunday with our families, so
2:27:50 > 2:27:53the kids can feel safe going back to school for the first time. That is
2:27:53 > 2:28:01good it is easing us back into it. But, look, Marjory Stoneman Douglas
2:28:01 > 2:28:06is my high school home and I honestly can't wait to get back.
2:28:06 > 2:28:14What an impressive young man he is. Very impressive indeed.
2:28:14 > 2:31:34Very impressive indeed. It is time to find out what's happening
2:31:34 > 2:31:36newsroom in half an hour.
2:31:36 > 2:31:38Plenty more on our website at the usual address.
2:31:43 > 2:31:50Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Naga Munchetty.
2:31:50 > 2:31:55President Trump has suggested he could be willing to make some
2:31:55 > 2:31:57changes on gun control laws, following the school shooting
2:31:57 > 2:32:00in Florida last week.
2:32:00 > 2:32:03He has signed an order to ban bump-stock devices which turn
2:32:03 > 2:32:04rifles into machine guns.
2:32:04 > 2:32:07They were used by a gunman who killed 58 Las Vegas
2:32:07 > 2:32:09concert-goers last year.
2:32:09 > 2:32:16Mr Trump says legislation could be ready "very soon".
2:32:16 > 2:32:16just could be ready "very soon".
2:32:16 > 2:32:17just a could be ready "very soon".
2:32:17 > 2:32:17just a few could be ready "very soon".
2:32:17 > 2:32:18just a few moments could be ready "very soon".
2:32:18 > 2:32:18just a few moments ago could be ready "very soon".
2:32:18 > 2:32:18just a few moments ago I could be ready "very soon".
2:32:18 > 2:32:18just a few moments ago I signed could be ready "very soon".
2:32:18 > 2:32:19just a few moments ago I signed a could be ready "very soon".
2:32:19 > 2:32:23just a few moments ago I signed a memorandum directing the Attorney
2:32:23 > 2:32:26General to oppose regulations to ban all devices which turned legal
2:32:26 > 2:32:32weapons into machine guns. I expect that these critical regulations will
2:32:32 > 2:32:36be finalised very soon.
2:32:36 > 2:32:39The bombardment of the rebel-held Eastern Ghouta by the Syrian
2:32:39 > 2:32:41government and its allies has continued for a third day,
2:32:41 > 2:32:44prompting the United Nations to warn of the risk of a second Aleppo.
2:32:44 > 2:32:46Reports suggest around 250 people have died
2:32:46 > 2:32:49following two days of attacks.
2:32:49 > 2:32:51Earlier we spoke to Hamish De Bretton-Gordon who runs
2:32:51 > 2:32:55Doctors Under Fire, who said it has been the worst
2:32:55 > 2:32:59violence in the area for quite some years.
2:32:59 > 2:33:04He is urging world leaders to be more vocal about the situation.This
2:33:04 > 2:33:09direct targeting of hospitals and medical staff is a crime against
2:33:09 > 2:33:11humanity, against every Geneva Convention and other rule and it is
2:33:11 > 2:33:16being done deliberately to break the will of the people. The figure of
2:33:16 > 2:33:21200 dead and 1000 injured over the last 48 hours is probably a massive
2:33:21 > 2:33:27underestimation. It is a living hell out there. The UN have called for a
2:33:27 > 2:33:30ceasefire, very few world leaders have stepped forward to do that and
2:33:30 > 2:33:37we know that President Putin holds the line here and we urge world
2:33:37 > 2:33:40leaders like Donald Trump and Theresa May, and I will be speaking
2:33:40 > 2:33:44to the Indian Prime Minister on Friday and asking him and then to
2:33:44 > 2:33:48get involved in this ceasefire which the Russians could deliver.
2:33:48 > 2:33:50Heavy drinking may be a major risk factor
2:33:50 > 2:33:52for the early onset of dementia.
2:33:52 > 2:33:54Scientists in France looked at 57,000 cases of dementia
2:33:54 > 2:33:56in people under 65 - and found that a third
2:33:56 > 2:33:58could have been caused by alcohol-related brain damage.
2:33:58 > 2:34:01The Supreme Court is to rule on whether the Metropolitan Police
2:34:01 > 2:34:05failed two victims of black cab rapist John Worboys.
2:34:05 > 2:34:09Scotland Yard is appealing against a previous decision
2:34:09 > 2:34:12that they breached the human rights of two women whose testimony
2:34:12 > 2:34:14they failed to investigate properly.
2:34:14 > 2:34:15The Metropolitan Police argues it had practices
2:34:15 > 2:34:18and procedures in place.
2:34:18 > 2:34:20If the ruling is upheld, this could be a landmark case
2:34:20 > 2:34:26for victim's rights.
2:34:26 > 2:34:29A Liberal Democrat peer has resigned from his front bench role
2:34:29 > 2:34:30because of allegations of sexual harassment.
2:34:30 > 2:34:33Lord Lester of Herne Hill will be investigated by the House
2:34:33 > 2:34:36of Lords Commissioner for Standards.
2:34:36 > 2:34:38He has denied the allegations, which have been described
2:34:38 > 2:34:43as historical, and says he will contest them vigorously.
2:34:43 > 2:34:45More than 60 Brexit-supporting Conservative MPs have written
2:34:45 > 2:34:47to the Prime Minister, setting out what they believe
2:34:47 > 2:34:50Britain should achieve from a deal with Brussels.
2:34:50 > 2:34:54The MPs, from the European Research Group of Tory backbenchers,
2:34:54 > 2:34:56insist that Britain should be free to negotiate trade deals
2:34:56 > 2:34:59with other countries, as soon as it leaves the EU.
2:34:59 > 2:35:02Senior ministers will meet tomorrow to discuss what the government wants
2:35:02 > 2:35:05from the final Brexit deal.
2:35:05 > 2:35:07The Queen has attended London Fashion Week for the first
2:35:07 > 2:35:12time in her 66-year reign.
2:35:12 > 2:35:18Her Majesty sat in the front row of up and coming designer
2:35:18 > 2:35:20Richard Quinn's show, next to the woman often hailed
2:35:20 > 2:35:28as the Queen of Fashion, Vogue Magazine's Anna Wintour.
2:35:28 > 2:35:35And she seems to be enjoying it. Why not? There is a picture of
2:35:35 > 2:35:38somebody walking past with a motorcycle helmet on and she looks
2:35:38 > 2:35:43about quite quizzically but I think we all would.
2:35:43 > 2:35:47The Zara fashion for every single day.
2:35:47 > 2:35:54Especially if you do not have a motor cycle.
2:35:54 > 2:35:56That brings you up to date.
2:35:56 > 2:35:58Nick will have the weather in ten minutes.
2:35:58 > 2:36:00Here's what else is coming up: Nicknamed 'The King of Bling'
2:36:00 > 2:36:03by the tabloids for his lavish lifestyle, we'll be joined
2:36:03 > 2:36:05on the sofa by the former England international Kieron Dyer,
2:36:05 > 2:36:07who'll talk to us about his searingly honest autobiography.
2:36:07 > 2:36:10If you are tired of trying to wake up a teenager for school,
2:36:10 > 2:36:12then there might be good news.
2:36:12 > 2:36:14We'll look at the trial that is giving youngsters
2:36:14 > 2:36:16a later start at school which could benefit their
2:36:16 > 2:36:18work and well-being.
2:36:18 > 2:36:21One in ten teenagers have a mental health problem,
2:36:21 > 2:36:22according to the NHS.
2:36:22 > 2:36:24Now, a new documentary series explores the impact
2:36:24 > 2:36:26on them and their families.
2:36:26 > 2:36:31We'll speak to one young woman who was sectioned for 18 months.
2:36:31 > 2:36:34All that still to come.
2:36:34 > 2:36:39But first let's get the sport with Sonali.
2:36:39 > 2:36:43We have been focusing a lot on the winter Olympics and we will head
2:36:43 > 2:36:47person but somebody has broken a bit of a barren patch.
2:36:47 > 2:36:51Who is that guy, never seen him before!
2:36:51 > 2:36:56Yes, just a quick word on Lionel Messi, he had never scored against
2:36:56 > 2:37:00Chelsea until last night, an opportune moment, last 16 match
2:37:00 > 2:37:03between Barcelona and Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and he denied
2:37:03 > 2:37:09Chelsea by scoring a late equaliser to make it 1-1.
2:37:09 > 2:37:11Chelsea had the better of the chances and eventually took
2:37:11 > 2:37:13the lead through Willian, after he'd twice hit
2:37:13 > 2:37:17the post earlier.
2:37:17 > 2:37:20But the Spanish giants came on strong in the second half
2:37:20 > 2:37:23and Messi capitalised on a Chelsea error to make it 1-1 and give
2:37:23 > 2:37:31Barcelona an important away goal going into the second leg.
2:37:35 > 2:37:45One mistake. But against this type of opponent, this type of player
2:37:45 > 2:37:52like Lionel Messi, Iniesta, Suarez, if you make a mistake you pay.
2:37:52 > 2:37:54Phil Neville has named Chelsea's Anita Asante in his first
2:37:54 > 2:37:55England women's squad.
2:37:55 > 2:37:58Asante, who was last called up in 2015, was one of several players
2:37:58 > 2:38:03who said they were poorly treated by previous boss Mark Sampson.
2:38:03 > 2:38:05Injured skipper Steph Houghton has also been named in the squad
2:38:05 > 2:38:13for the She Believes Cup which begins next month.
2:38:17 > 2:38:26Time to head over to Pyeongchang. Yes I bring you news of a cracking a
2:38:26 > 2:38:31win for Great Britain 's female curlers. They have knocked out the
2:38:31 > 2:38:35defending Olympic champions Canada in a very tense match. They were
2:38:35 > 2:38:41behind going into the final end but came through that to win 6-5, very
2:38:41 > 2:38:46close. That denies Canada a medal at the curling at the Winter games for
2:38:46 > 2:38:52the first time ever. Huge win for Great Britain's women to make the
2:38:52 > 2:38:56semifinals. Disappointment for the men on the other hand because they
2:38:56 > 2:39:02had a heavy loss
2:39:04 > 2:39:06had a heavy loss to the USA, 10-4, conceding four in just the last end.
2:39:06 > 2:39:09They need to come through a play-off against Switzerland to make the
2:39:09 > 2:39:15semifinals. Work to be done.
2:39:16 > 2:39:18And there was great news for Billy Morgan
2:39:18 > 2:39:21overnight in "big air" - pretty obvious why it's called that
2:39:21 > 2:39:22when you look at this!
2:39:22 > 2:39:24The Briton is in Saturday's final after taking the final
2:39:24 > 2:39:26qualification spot in his heat.
2:39:26 > 2:39:28Jamie Nicholls and Rowan Coultas missed out though.
2:39:28 > 2:39:32But Lindsay Vonn, the most successful female downhill skier
2:39:32 > 2:39:35in history, couldn't take the gold in what looks like her
2:39:35 > 2:39:36final Olympic games.
2:39:36 > 2:39:38The American earned bronze, with Italy's Sofia Goggia
2:39:38 > 2:39:46taking top spot.
2:39:53 > 2:39:57Lindsey Vonn says her bronze medal today felt like she had won the
2:39:57 > 2:40:02title.It was intense and I think mostly it was intense because I just
2:40:02 > 2:40:13wanted to win for my grandpa. It is hard to process this is my Olympic
2:40:13 > 2:40:17downhill race that will be my last. I want to keep racing forever but I
2:40:17 > 2:40:27can no longer do that.Knowing your family they be so pleased and happy
2:40:27 > 2:40:36read out there did that.I hope so...
2:40:38 > 2:40:41so...Elise Christie crashed in the semifinals of the 1500 metres and
2:40:41 > 2:40:45entered her ankle and was stretchered off, she crashed in her
2:40:45 > 2:40:50first race as well, last night she strapped up her ankle and was
2:40:50 > 2:40:55determined to compete in the 1000 metres but had a fall and a false
2:40:55 > 2:41:02start, restarted the race, battled her way to the semifinals but
2:41:02 > 2:41:05unfortunately she was disqualified, given a yellow card for two
2:41:05 > 2:41:11violations according to the judges and this is what she had to say.I
2:41:11 > 2:41:16worked so hard to come back from this injury. I think 1000 people
2:41:16 > 2:41:20would not have skated with my ankle the way it was. I can barely bend my
2:41:20 > 2:41:26knee. The only thing I can say is I can promise I will fight back from
2:41:26 > 2:41:32this and I will come back for Beijing. And hopefully I can do
2:41:32 > 2:41:40Britain proud then. Elise Christie the personification of Olympic grit
2:41:40 > 2:41:45and determination. Speaking of which I am joined by Penny Coomes and Nick
2:41:45 > 2:41:49Buckland who have bounced back from adversity a few times to come 11th
2:41:49 > 2:41:56in yesterday's free dance, 11 overall after what has been a
2:41:56 > 2:42:00monumental battle just to get here. I want to start with your state
2:42:00 > 2:42:04itself because you were pleased with the performance, the music stopped
2:42:04 > 2:42:10and you punched the air.I have not performed before and felt like I
2:42:10 > 2:42:13wanted to do that. There have always been things I could look back on and
2:42:13 > 2:42:17think maybe we could have done that better but I felt we had owed a
2:42:17 > 2:42:20great skate and we got on Olympic ice and our Olympic moment finished
2:42:20 > 2:42:25like that so I was pleased.Then your face fell a little on the
2:42:25 > 2:42:31scores came in because it was not what you had hoped for?No, it
2:42:31 > 2:42:33wasn't and that was really disappointing because we felt we put
2:42:33 > 2:42:38out our best. We don't feel it was reflected in the scores but there
2:42:38 > 2:42:42are some things which are out of our control and what we could control we
2:42:42 > 2:42:47did very well and we are pleased with ourselves.That was yesterday,
2:42:47 > 2:42:51you have had a night to reflect, I remember talking to you straight
2:42:51 > 2:42:55afterwards and it was a bittersweet ending a two-year Olympic journey to
2:42:55 > 2:43:02get there, do you feel more positive now you had some sleep?I really do,
2:43:02 > 2:43:06I spent some time working on social media and I was crying because I was
2:43:06 > 2:43:10overwhelmed by the positive response I received from the British public
2:43:10 > 2:43:15and people around the world. When I heard myself I wanted to come back
2:43:15 > 2:43:18and be an inspiration so thank you to everyone playing the national
2:43:18 > 2:43:22lottery because you all got me back here and I am so thankful to be back
2:43:22 > 2:43:26and have all your messages of support. I wanted to be an
2:43:26 > 2:43:36inspiration and I feel like I am. You definitely are?20 months ago
2:43:36 > 2:43:40you shattered kneecap into eight pieces in training. At that point
2:43:40 > 2:43:45did you think you would ever be at an Olympics again?No, quite simply.
2:43:45 > 2:43:52I just remember the pain went numb and I remember crying and the
2:43:52 > 2:43:58paramedics asked if I was in pain and I just said I was sad. At that
2:43:58 > 2:44:01moment I did not think it would happen but I'm so lucky to have the
2:44:01 > 2:44:08support of team I have and nick got me through everything.All over the
2:44:08 > 2:44:14verb is it going to be, the World Championships next month, will you
2:44:14 > 2:44:19be going there? And how about Beijing, how about retirement?We
2:44:19 > 2:44:22will sit down and talk about everything after the World
2:44:22 > 2:44:26Championships, our focus is one step at a time. We have four weeks to
2:44:26 > 2:44:29prepare for the World Championships and give it everything we've got. We
2:44:29 > 2:44:33do not do anything by half so we will sit down and make sure we can
2:44:33 > 2:44:37improve on these performances to make sure we do something at the
2:44:37 > 2:44:42World Championships. That is the next goal.And what about getting
2:44:42 > 2:44:46married and having babies because we are relying on you to to breed the
2:44:46 > 2:44:53next generation for Great Britain? Have you been talking to my mum? She
2:44:53 > 2:44:57has already started knitting clothes for her unborn grandchildren. I feel
2:44:57 > 2:45:01like we have skipped over the marriage thing and gone straight to
2:45:01 > 2:45:07the children. We will see!It has been talked about by the mums since
2:45:07 > 2:45:13we finished the free dance.Eugh no pressure! We just rely on you! Watch
2:45:13 > 2:45:20this space. Hopefully we'll have an Olympic proposal by the end of the
2:45:20 > 2:45:20games.
2:45:27 > 2:45:35Get on with your knitting! See you later! Very good. Nick will update
2:45:35 > 2:45:39us shortly. Getting colder in the coming days although with sunshine
2:45:39 > 2:45:42around. It's 8:45am.
2:45:42 > 2:45:44One in ten teenagers have a mental health problem.
2:45:44 > 2:45:47According to the NHS, there has been a 68 % rise
2:45:47 > 2:45:49in hospital admissions relating to self-harm among young teenage
2:45:49 > 2:45:50girls in the past decade.
2:45:50 > 2:45:52Now, a new documentary called Girls on the Edge
2:45:52 > 2:45:55follows the journey of three families whose young daughters have
2:45:55 > 2:45:58been sectioned under the Mental Health Act.
2:45:58 > 2:46:02In a moment we'll be speaking to Jade and her mother
2:46:02 > 2:46:08Good morning to you, lovely to have you on the programme --
2:46:08 > 2:46:10about the impact that had on their family.
2:46:10 > 2:46:12But first, let's take a look at a clip of Jade
2:46:12 > 2:46:14when she was in a secure unit.
2:46:14 > 2:46:21what about your mental health, have you been diagnosed.Yes. Schizoid
2:46:21 > 2:46:25personality disorder. It's a bit of a complicated one. I don't
2:46:25 > 2:46:31understand it myself. For me it just means thinking things that may not
2:46:31 > 2:46:38necessarily be true, like paranoid or delusional thoughts. I don't
2:46:38 > 2:46:41trust my own mind.
2:46:41 > 2:46:44Jade and her Mum Claire join us now on the sofa.
2:46:44 > 2:46:49Thank you so much for talking about this.
2:46:49 > 2:46:54Jade, when did you realise you were not feeling yourself?It has been a
2:46:54 > 2:47:00long time. I didn't really have one specific moment. There is a saying
2:47:00 > 2:47:07that you smile with your eyes, and when I looked in the mirror I was
2:47:07 > 2:47:11doing my make Obama could not see the smile in my eyes, that was wrong
2:47:11 > 2:47:14because normally I am good at faking it even to myself so to see that was
2:47:14 > 2:47:21a shock.What the documentary does is follow your journey over a period
2:47:21 > 2:47:30of six to seven months in the unit. How are you now?I am OK. Taking
2:47:30 > 2:47:38each day...You are out of the unit now.
2:47:42 > 2:47:49now.I see stuff about three times a day to access medication. They
2:47:49 > 2:47:56support me with anything that I need to.You have moved on, that is a
2:47:56 > 2:48:00good thing because one thing we see in the documentary with the families
2:48:00 > 2:48:04is, obviously the realisation that their daughters need help. You say
2:48:04 > 2:48:09that you realise this as well that you either want them to come home or
2:48:09 > 2:48:16be independent and they can't be at that moment, and that is very tough.
2:48:16 > 2:48:21Very tough. It is hard to imagine your child in a hospital when you
2:48:21 > 2:48:24don't have any control over what they do, you can just go and visit
2:48:24 > 2:48:33them...What is searingly honest is that you ask questions about what
2:48:33 > 2:48:38you did on the journey, what did you miss your daughter to end up in that
2:48:38 > 2:48:45unit.I missed being family unit. I missed having her around. It is very
2:48:45 > 2:48:52very difficult, very difficult place to be. You could not begin to
2:48:52 > 2:48:56imagine it come you've got two different lives going on there, you
2:48:56 > 2:49:01want her to be home, and you can't come you just have to live that
2:49:01 > 2:49:10other life.How hard was it for you to get the care that Jade needed?It
2:49:10 > 2:49:14was very difficult, we were literally crying out for help. We
2:49:14 > 2:49:22need someone now, we need Jade to go into hospital and that was a real
2:49:22 > 2:49:26breaking point because I realised when I was coming out that Jade
2:49:26 > 2:49:32really needed help. It was hard for me to accept leaving her in a
2:49:32 > 2:49:38hospital where I had no say in her care. In a difficult.I can see that
2:49:38 > 2:49:44no eat that you explain it to us as a mum. When we talk about these
2:49:44 > 2:49:47things we are aware that there is an audience out there who might be
2:49:47 > 2:49:54going through something similar, is there any advice you can give to
2:49:54 > 2:50:01someone watching this this morning? Just communicate, talk to people,
2:50:01 > 2:50:08whether speaking, writing it or using pictures, just communicate,
2:50:08 > 2:50:11using pictures, people that you trust. I can't stress enough how
2:50:11 > 2:50:16important that is. Such a simple thing but it makes such a
2:50:16 > 2:50:23difference.Jade, you had to agree to being filmed. If you are already
2:50:23 > 2:50:27struggling to recognise what was wrong, or what you find difficult
2:50:27 > 2:50:32with life, for cameras to be pushed in your face and documentary makers
2:50:32 > 2:50:43to be around you, and for your most raw moments... What made you decide
2:50:43 > 2:50:48to say yes?
2:50:53 > 2:50:57Even though there is more awareness now in the last couple of years,
2:50:57 > 2:51:06it's not enough.Why are people scared to talk, why is there not
2:51:06 > 2:51:11enough awareness?I think they are scared of other people's reactions,
2:51:11 > 2:51:17you can see consequences of mental health but you cannot see what is
2:51:17 > 2:51:23going on in someone's head. So it is almost very real for that person for
2:51:23 > 2:51:28me and many others, because other people cannot see it it is almost as
2:51:28 > 2:51:40if it does not exist. So some people just don't see it.In terms of hopes
2:51:40 > 2:51:45for the future are you able to look weeks and months ahead or
2:51:45 > 2:51:54day-to-day?Day at the moment, it is more hourly to be honest. But I want
2:51:54 > 2:51:57to go into teaching eventually, to try to give back to the teachers
2:51:57 > 2:52:03that helped me.
2:52:03 > 2:52:06that helped me.Claire, do you feel at the door to you knew before the
2:52:06 > 2:52:13mental illness struck is coming back to you?Slowly, yes, definitely.You
2:52:13 > 2:52:20are very close, we saw, Jade, you just grabbed your mum's hand... That
2:52:20 > 2:52:27is what mum'ss for? It was great to have you both on the programme. If
2:52:27 > 2:52:30you would like to see more,
2:52:30 > 2:52:35Girls on the Edge is on BBC Two, tomorrow at 9pm.
2:52:35 > 2:52:39a really interesting insight into what they have been going through.
2:52:39 > 2:52:43And as Jade says, if this has struck a chord, please talk to someone.
2:52:43 > 2:52:47Here's Nick with a look at this morning's weather.
2:52:47 > 2:52:50Here's Nick with a look at this morning's weather.
2:52:50 > 2:52:54Good morning, I've found some sunshine, the weather watchers will
2:52:54 > 2:52:58be watching our weather closely as it turns bitterly cold for some time
2:52:58 > 2:53:03next week, gradually getting colder day by day as we head towards the
2:53:03 > 2:53:06weekend. A lot of fine, dry weather to come with high pressure and
2:53:06 > 2:53:10control, see the cloud moving around the area of high pressure, this
2:53:10 > 2:53:13cloud has been pushing into England and Wales which has been producing
2:53:13 > 2:53:17drizzle here and there, maybe some light showers, it is more likely
2:53:17 > 2:53:23that things start cloudy and begin to brighten up a little. Some
2:53:23 > 2:53:27showers at the breath of wind, slow to clear, in Scotland the default
2:53:27 > 2:53:32patch with good sunny spells coming through later. Temperatures after
2:53:32 > 2:53:36yesterday when some areas were in double figures, it's more like six
2:53:36 > 2:53:41to nine Celsius, a gradual step down this weekend as the code is slowly
2:53:41 > 2:53:47moves in. It will be colder tonight because the more breaks in the
2:53:47 > 2:53:51cloud, more and showing on the map, that is the clear whether it is, and
2:53:51 > 2:53:57overnight light winds drop to give fast, and again they will be
2:53:57 > 2:54:02freezing fog patches around, temperatures close to below freezing
2:54:02 > 2:54:07as well.
2:54:07 > 2:54:11as well. Frost with fog patches and sunny spells, breeze picking up the
2:54:11 > 2:54:17little in
2:54:17 > 2:54:21little in northern Scotland, another dry day with four Dexter showing up
2:54:21 > 2:54:29in the temperatures today so slowly going down. More of a breeze to the
2:54:29 > 2:54:34south and the south and west, more in the way of sunshine, less in the
2:54:34 > 2:54:37cloud and the vast majority will be dry.
2:54:37 > 2:54:42cloud and the vast majority will be dry.
2:54:42 > 2:54:45dry. High-pressure in control, that's a generally settled picture,
2:54:45 > 2:54:49we are looking at dry weather, around the high-pressure coming in
2:54:49 > 2:54:53for the east of the south-east, again some cold directions or the
2:54:53 > 2:55:01chillblain chilly breeze, more clutter and is in Scotland on
2:55:01 > 2:55:04Sunday, this is the forecast which gives a flavour of the whole of the
2:55:04 > 2:55:08UK as temperatures are stepping down if few degrees and the winds are
2:55:08 > 2:55:14picking up as well. The weekend picture looks dry, quite a lot of
2:55:14 > 2:55:18sunshine, the breeze picking up now so it will feel chillier and they
2:55:18 > 2:55:22will be frosty nights as well, so the bitter air looks like still
2:55:22 > 2:55:28moving in for a time next week, with a chance of snow showers. Not
2:55:28 > 2:55:33everyone will see that but it looks as if debris will be going out on a
2:55:33 > 2:55:37very cold note indeed. We'll keep you updated on that -- as of
2:55:37 > 2:55:40February will be going out on a very cold
2:55:40 > 2:55:40February will be going out on a very cold note indeed.
2:55:40 > 2:55:49February will be going out on a very cold note indeed. Thank you, Nick.
2:55:53 > 2:55:56There's a call for a dog DNA database to be established to help
2:55:56 > 2:55:58catch animals suspected of killing livestock.
2:55:58 > 2:56:00The National Police Chief's council also wants to be able
2:56:00 > 2:56:02to search properties and confiscate dogs that reoffend
2:56:02 > 2:56:03from their owners.
2:56:03 > 2:56:06Breakfast's John Maguire is on a farm in North Wales and has
2:56:06 > 2:56:07more detail for us this morning.
2:56:07 > 2:56:10The scenery is beautiful John but so many people get into contact with
2:56:10 > 2:56:13the programme and thank you for highlighting the issue today.It
2:56:13 > 2:56:17really is a big issue.
2:56:17 > 2:56:21You'll follow farmers on social media and talk to the farmers and
2:56:21 > 2:56:26sheep farmers and they will tell you it is a very real problem. The
2:56:26 > 2:56:31scenery is absolutely stunning cure. We are just above the village of
2:56:31 > 2:56:36Llanfairfechan, the Menai Strait just below, we 1000 feet high. The
2:56:36 > 2:56:39views on the hills, the sheep have been lower in the winter months and
2:56:39 > 2:56:43have now come back up to graze on higher ground. They will be
2:56:43 > 2:56:48pregnant. Imagine if the dog escaped from a garden and got off its lead,
2:56:48 > 2:56:53and these animals, it might physically attack them, bite them,
2:56:53 > 2:56:57or by distressing them and chasing them, the sheep could lose their
2:56:57 > 2:57:04lambs. They could lose their pregnancies. A real problem for
2:57:04 > 2:57:08farmers, not just livestock farmers at this time of year and this is why
2:57:08 > 2:57:11the Council of the national police chief has decided to recommend
2:57:11 > 2:57:19things to try to tackle this problem.
2:57:19 > 2:57:22problem.Only 16 but Alfie is learning about the harsh to egg
2:57:22 > 2:57:26harsh realities of farming after two of his pedigree sheep were attacked
2:57:26 > 2:57:31by a dog. The Harry and family graze their sheep on the South Downs and
2:57:31 > 2:57:36have had several incidents.It's that through two and I am still
2:57:36 > 2:57:40concerned about. It is very upsetting. The trauma that the sheep
2:57:40 > 2:57:46have gone through, as we say, we won't know quite yet how much this
2:57:46 > 2:57:53has impacted. But it's not the first incidence we have had. We have had
2:57:53 > 2:57:58two or four throughout the year.I went up there, dogs of the lead, if
2:57:58 > 2:58:02you ask them nicely to put their dog on the lead, they say, oh, my doc
2:58:02 > 2:58:10won't do that, and they want to do it.This video shows the dog chasing
2:58:10 > 2:58:16the ewes before biting them and days later it returned. So it is about
2:58:16 > 2:58:21taking DNA samples. Sergeant Tom Carter started using forensic
2:58:21 > 2:58:26science to tackle the problem.We were robbed at around the wound with
2:58:26 > 2:58:32a dog has attacked the sheep, but it back in the tube, -- we were rubbed
2:58:32 > 2:58:35that, send it to the lab and if we can match it to a dog will take a
2:58:35 > 2:58:42swab from the dog and manage the samples.The most senior officers,
2:58:42 > 2:58:46the National Police Chiefs Council has published a report calling for a
2:58:46 > 2:58:50DNA database of dogs suspected of an attack. And once a law to force
2:58:50 > 2:58:57owners to fix leads in livestock areas and other sanctions possibly
2:58:57 > 2:59:02using Crown Courts, not just magistrates.We have put various
2:59:02 > 2:59:05recommendations in that we have the various legislators will take heed
2:59:05 > 2:59:12of and work with us to improve the situation.Although current police
2:59:12 > 2:59:18chiefs say the law is inadequate it does allow farmers to shoot animals
2:59:18 > 2:59:21and attacking livestock so reducing these incidents would relieve the
2:59:21 > 2:59:30suffering, and the stress, not just on farmers but also on dog owners.
2:59:31 > 2:59:36Stats from five forces across rural Britain found 92 instances where
2:59:36 > 2:59:40dogs had been shot, distressing and also for the dog owners as well.
2:59:40 > 2:59:45Gareth Wyn Jones, you are a familiar face on BBC Breakfast. This is a
2:59:45 > 2:59:48real issue for you and your colleagues. You are aware of its
2:59:48 > 2:59:54daily pretty much.
2:59:54 > 2:59:59I am seeing a lot of it on social media. It's quite frightening, these
2:59:59 > 3:00:03animals flock together so when they are disturbed like that it can
3:00:03 > 3:00:08stretch them out. So even if you are just taking the dog for a walk
3:00:08 > 3:00:11through livestock make sure it is on the lead at all time. It's so
3:00:11 > 3:00:16important to get that message out there. Education is the way forward.
3:00:16 > 3:00:20For both us as farmers, we want people to come and visit this
3:00:20 > 3:00:24beautiful countryside and enjoy it but they have to respect it. It's a
3:00:24 > 3:00:32rest both ways. I do not want to be going out there shooting dogs, I own
3:00:32 > 3:00:35dogs, I love dogs, I want to see people enjoying the countryside with
3:00:35 > 3:00:42her pets. We are very lucky here with a fantastic North Wales rural
3:00:42 > 3:00:48police team which are doing a great job so let's all work together and
3:00:48 > 3:00:51hopefully will have a happy countryside.Thank you very much for
3:00:51 > 3:00:56your time this morning. Talking about a bit of snow next week in the
3:00:56 > 3:01:00weather, the top of the mountains here in North Wales you can see
3:01:00 > 3:01:05there is still snow on the ground. It is cold up here. It's a hard life
3:01:05 > 3:01:09for these sheep so this is the last thing that anyone trying to make a
3:01:09 > 3:01:13living here wants. One of the cases the police report talks about
3:01:13 > 3:01:22Founder had lost £20,000 -- found a farmer had lost £20,000 in incidents
3:01:22 > 3:01:28topped about. This will be a relief to lots of
3:01:28 > 3:01:33them trying to protect their living and their livestock 's. Talking
3:01:33 > 3:01:37about Shepards, early risers, just like us.
3:01:37 > 3:01:45What would you consider a lion? -- Eli in?
3:01:45 > 3:01:51I find if I spend too much time in bed I get a sore back. I'm not used
3:01:51 > 3:01:56to it. My young lad will be up very early.
3:01:56 > 3:02:09What do you consider a lie in? About 630. We are talking about this
3:02:09 > 3:02:20because there is talk about teenagers.
3:02:22 > 3:02:24Why can't teenagers get up in the morning?
3:02:24 > 3:02:26Are they just being lazy?
3:02:27 > 3:02:29My teenage son Harry and I are going to do
3:02:29 > 3:02:30an experiment to compare which
3:02:30 > 3:02:33time of day our brains are most alert, morning or evening.
3:02:33 > 3:02:367am and it's time for the morning test.
3:02:36 > 3:02:41Three, two, one, go.
3:02:41 > 3:02:43Under time pressure we have to respond to the
3:02:43 > 3:02:45direction of arrows on the screen.
3:02:45 > 3:02:47Are you feeling bright eyed and bushy tailed, Harry?
3:02:47 > 3:02:49No, not really.
3:02:49 > 3:02:518:30pm, and time for the evening rematch.
3:02:51 > 3:02:52Are you ready?
3:02:52 > 3:02:54Yeah.
3:02:54 > 3:02:55OK.
3:02:55 > 3:02:58Oh, I got that wrong.
3:02:58 > 3:03:00I might as well be a pro gamer.
3:03:00 > 3:03:02So how did Harry and I compare?
3:03:02 > 3:03:05For reaction time, both of us were faster in the
3:03:05 > 3:03:07evening.
3:03:07 > 3:03:10And for our ability to ignore distractions, both of us were
3:03:10 > 3:03:11better in the morning.
3:03:11 > 3:03:16But for one important measure, our ability to
3:03:16 > 3:03:18shift focus quickly in response to the arrow, we are complete
3:03:18 > 3:03:20opposites.
3:03:20 > 3:03:23I did much better in the morning while Harry did better in
3:03:23 > 3:03:26the evening.
3:03:26 > 3:03:28So his brain really does seem to work on a different
3:03:28 > 3:03:34daily rhythm from mine.
3:03:34 > 3:03:37Remember those days?
3:03:37 > 3:03:40One school has already experimented with a late start for its pupils.
3:03:40 > 3:03:43Breakfast's Graham Satchell is there for us this morning.
3:03:46 > 3:03:50Good morning, yes we are at Hampton Court house where the A-level
3:03:50 > 3:03:55students have been starting at 1pm for the last three years because
3:03:55 > 3:04:00they completely believe and get what is now science about the teenage
3:04:00 > 3:04:05brain. Let's go and chat to some of the students, we have got them who
3:04:05 > 3:04:11are doing A-levels. Tell me the different seas being made to you
3:04:11 > 3:04:18being able to get up later in the morning?In my GCSE year I got up at
3:04:18 > 3:04:22six every day and I would come into school relate tired and I could not
3:04:22 > 3:04:27concentrate back now I am so much more awake and I can concentrate, I
3:04:27 > 3:04:34feel alert and ready to learn. It's quite great.And what about you?I
3:04:34 > 3:04:39used to wake up at seven to go to my old school and in order to make sure
3:04:39 > 3:04:44I was awake I needed to cycle to school to raise my heart rate to
3:04:44 > 3:04:48such a degree there was enough oxygen going to my brain.What was
3:04:48 > 3:04:53it like waking up at seven?It was dark and groggy and I could not
3:04:53 > 3:05:02concentrate in lessons after ten o'clock. Because I was just quite
3:05:02 > 3:05:09tired.It made a difference.It has made a difference.Do you think you
3:05:09 > 3:05:15are less grumpy?Yes, I am more awake so I can listen to other
3:05:15 > 3:05:19people, I don't get easily irritated, it's good all round.
3:05:19 > 3:05:24Thank you very much, we will have a quick chat to the head here, the
3:05:24 > 3:05:28science is settled on all of this, scientists are sure the teenage
3:05:28 > 3:05:32brain does act differently. Let me quickly ask you what you would say
3:05:32 > 3:05:35to other schools thinking about this because there are logistical
3:05:35 > 3:05:42practical problems?I think it's incumbent on all school leaders, all
3:05:42 > 3:05:46headteachers and governing bodies at the very least to be informed about
3:05:46 > 3:05:50the research and the findings. We all have the children's well-being
3:05:50 > 3:05:55at the heart of all that we do as educators. Then it is for them to
3:05:55 > 3:06:00make practical decisions as to what is best. Life is not the dress
3:06:00 > 3:06:02rehearsal, you get one chance of being a teenager so why not create
3:06:02 > 3:06:09the optimal conditions for teens to study? It requires a can-do attitude
3:06:09 > 3:06:15from school leaders across the country.Quickly, people getting in
3:06:15 > 3:06:18touch seeing if you do change it it does not prepare them for the life
3:06:18 > 3:06:22of work where they have to start at nine o'clock?This is why it's
3:06:22 > 3:06:29important to read the evidence, the circadian shift reaches its peak in
3:06:29 > 3:06:34men at at the age of 21, slightly younger in women. After that, the
3:06:34 > 3:06:38discrepancy between your body clock and the teenage body clock is about
3:06:38 > 3:06:44two hours but after the peak it reverts back to societal norms. So
3:06:44 > 3:06:49we are accommodating these teens working pattern is only for these
3:06:49 > 3:06:52precious years when there is so much work, developmental work taking
3:06:52 > 3:06:57place within the brain. Learning is a physical biological process and it
3:06:57 > 3:07:01is incumbent on us as leaders to create the best conditions for teens
3:07:01 > 3:07:09to learn.Thanks. GCSE students, schools should also consider
3:07:09 > 3:07:14starting later in the day, will it happen, will they be able to manage
3:07:14 > 3:07:18the timetable? That is much more tricky but with that, it's back to
3:07:18 > 3:07:24you. I glad I'm not to school this
3:07:24 > 3:07:27afternoon. Kieron Dyer will be here to talk
3:07:27 > 3:09:04about his autobiography but let's get
3:09:04 > 3:09:06with the lunchtime news at 1:30pm, until then, enjoy the
3:09:06 > 3:09:09rest of your morning.
3:09:17 > 3:09:19As a kid Kieron Dyer had two big dreams.
3:09:19 > 3:09:23One was to play for England the other was to own a Ferrari.
3:09:23 > 3:09:30He did both.
3:09:31 > 3:09:37Yeah I did. Ferrari, the money that was in the game, it was always the
3:09:37 > 3:09:43dream and I was not afraid to splash the cash ends been called the King
3:09:43 > 3:09:49of bling.And you have no written this book, I think yours is a bit of
3:09:49 > 3:09:52different because you are honest about some of the mistakes you made
3:09:52 > 3:09:55and things you would do differently. Maybe in light of what we have seen
3:09:55 > 3:09:59in recent months you spoke quite openly about the abuse she suffered
3:09:59 > 3:10:05as a young man, was it a hard decision to put that in there?It
3:10:05 > 3:10:10was, it was a secret for 20 years, I was 11, 12 years old and I thought I
3:10:10 > 3:10:15had dealt with the abuse by myself. But I did not realise it blighted my
3:10:15 > 3:10:21life for 20 years because of the character it forms, the distrusting
3:10:21 > 3:10:31person.Who made you realise that was contributing to your character?
3:10:31 > 3:10:35Know one, it was just by chance, Joey Barton, we were at QPR and he
3:10:35 > 3:10:42worked with a counsellor and I went to speak to him and it all came
3:10:42 > 3:10:47pouring out and he recognised my mannerisms, stuff like that. Not
3:10:47 > 3:10:52giving eye contact, stuff like that. It helped me correct the wrong site
3:10:52 > 3:10:57had been doing.Was it a relief, once you started talking about it
3:10:57 > 3:11:00and you realised the way you are acting and feeling was closely
3:11:00 > 3:11:06linked to that, did that...? Ill mac it was, when I started telling my
3:11:06 > 3:11:12family and friends the penny dropped. It was a relief to me.When
3:11:12 > 3:11:15it came out it ripped my family apart for a bit because they saw the
3:11:15 > 3:11:20signs of my uncle who abused me so they started feeling guilty, we
3:11:20 > 3:11:26found out someone else in the family was abused as well. I can see why
3:11:26 > 3:11:30people keep the secrets because it can rip families apart. My family
3:11:30 > 3:11:36are now adjusting to it.It cannot be underestimated how important it
3:11:36 > 3:11:42is for public figures to show they are human I suppose. They can be
3:11:42 > 3:11:47victims just as much as enjoy successes in life. Knowing you have
3:11:47 > 3:11:52done that has also meant you are able to address some of the shall we
3:11:52 > 3:11:59say less favourable stories, facts maybe, documentation of your life as
3:11:59 > 3:12:04a footballer, as the king of bling so to speak. Do you understand or do
3:12:04 > 3:12:08you think, what role do you think you played in the image of football
3:12:08 > 3:12:15and the image of young, successful, talented yet perhaps unsavoury
3:12:15 > 3:12:17characters in football, do you recognise how that has been
3:12:17 > 3:12:23perceived?Yeah and I would like to state what happened to me is a kid
3:12:23 > 3:12:28was on the reason why some of the stuff I did was, I'm not going to
3:12:28 > 3:12:39blame that because we are young kids. My mum raised me on
3:12:40 > 3:12:42kids. My mum raised me on my -- her own, millionaire overnight, then you
3:12:42 > 3:12:48get put on a pedestal, attention and wealth, celebrity. I lost track of
3:12:48 > 3:12:51being a footballer. I thought I was a celebrity first and a footballer
3:12:51 > 3:12:56second and that is why in the book I am being positive, I lost track, as
3:12:56 > 3:13:01were the mistakes came from.Was ever anyone who came up and said
3:13:01 > 3:13:05what are you doing? You are throwing away what could be a fantastic
3:13:05 > 3:13:10career by concentrating on this rather than this?You have had him
3:13:10 > 3:13:15on this couch, Graeme Souness came and said, he said when he finished
3:13:15 > 3:13:19football he did look himself in the mirror and say he gave his all,
3:13:19 > 3:13:21could you? We started laughing because that would never be the
3:13:21 > 3:13:28truth and I started to wise up then. He threatened to smack you didn't
3:13:28 > 3:13:34he?Yeah, first month at the club, he turned around and said if we have
3:13:34 > 3:13:41to do this again I will knock you out. No coincidence....Doesn't work
3:13:41 > 3:13:46for everyone but at least it worked for you! The book is very different
3:13:46 > 3:13:49to a lot of footballers autobiographies and very insightful
3:13:49 > 3:13:52and honest, so thank you for coming on to talk to us.
3:13:52 > 3:13:56If you would like to know more.
3:13:56 > 3:14:01Kieron Dyer's book is called Old Too Soon, Smart Too Late.
3:14:01 > 3:14:05Coming up next we have live coverage of the Winter Olympic South Clare
3:14:05 > 3:14:10Balding. Let's leave you with some spectacular scenery of North Wales
3:14:10 > 3:14:16this morning, enjoy that and enjoy the rest of your day. Goodbye.
