0:00:42 > 0:00:45Saudi's Crown prince arrives in Britain amid protests

0:00:45 > 0:00:47about his human rights record

0:00:47 > 0:00:50A crackdown on ticket resale websites - the advertising watchdog

0:00:50 > 0:00:52says firms must be upfront about the real costs

0:00:52 > 0:00:58of going to a concert.

0:00:58 > 0:01:01European leaders are meeting today to discuss Donald Trump

0:01:01 > 0:01:04and his trade war tweets - I'll explain what it means for us

0:01:04 > 0:01:06later.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08In sport, Liverpool are the first British team

0:01:08 > 0:01:12through to the last

0:01:12 > 0:01:13eight of the Champions League.

0:01:13 > 0:01:15They'll be joined by holders Real Madrid, who beat

0:01:15 > 0:01:18Paris Saint Germain 5-2 aggregate.

0:01:18 > 0:01:24And Carol has the weather.

0:01:24 > 0:01:28Today's the day of sunshine and showers. Some the showers will be

0:01:28 > 0:01:32heavy and across northern and western Scotland, also wintry for a

0:01:32 > 0:01:36time but a lot of dry weather however this time tomorrow morning

0:01:36 > 0:01:40we could see some more snow across parts of Wales, the Midlands and

0:01:40 > 0:01:41Lincolnshire.

0:01:41 > 0:01:42Good morning.

0:01:42 > 0:01:43First, our main story.

0:01:43 > 0:01:45The Home Secretary will chair a emergency meeting

0:01:45 > 0:01:47of the Government's COBRA committee this morning to discuss

0:01:47 > 0:01:54the suspected poisoning of a former Russian agent and his daughter.

0:01:54 > 0:01:56Sergei and Yulia Skripal are still in a critical condition

0:01:56 > 0:01:59after being found unconscious on Sunday in Salisbury.

0:01:59 > 0:02:01Russia has denied any wrongdoing, but the Foreign Secretary Boris

0:02:01 > 0:02:04Johnson has warned of 'robust' action should the Kremlin be found

0:02:04 > 0:02:05to be involved.

0:02:05 > 0:02:11Tom Burridge reports.

0:02:11 > 0:02:13Uncomfortable questions linger here in Wiltshire where a former

0:02:13 > 0:02:21Russian agent and his daughter were struck down

0:02:21 > 0:02:25on Sunday afternoon.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28Yulia Skripal lives in Russia and was visiting her father,

0:02:28 > 0:02:29Sergei, in Salisbury.

0:02:29 > 0:02:32This CCTV footage shows them just half an hour

0:02:32 > 0:02:35before locals alerted the police that they were unconscious

0:02:35 > 0:02:43on a park bench.

0:02:46 > 0:02:48Sergei Skripal was an officer in Russian military intelligence

0:02:48 > 0:02:51but in 2004 he was arrested and later convicted

0:02:51 > 0:02:52for working for MI6.

0:02:52 > 0:02:56In 2010, he was handed over to Britain as part of a spy swap.

0:02:56 > 0:03:00The Russian government said suggestions it was involved

0:03:00 > 0:03:04are completely untrue but the murder in London in 2006

0:03:04 > 0:03:06of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko means suspicion

0:03:06 > 0:03:07is almost inevitable

0:03:07 > 0:03:09and the ramifications for Russian-UK relations are huge.

0:03:17 > 0:03:21Should evidence emerge of state responsibility than Her Majesty 's

0:03:21 > 0:03:23government will respond appropriately and prop the cash

0:03:23 > 0:03:28robust leap. And implications are huge.

0:03:28 > 0:03:31If Russia is behind it, it means they are taking thimgs

0:03:31 > 0:03:33to a whole new level.

0:03:33 > 0:03:35This is in fact a kind of declaration of war.

0:03:35 > 0:03:39Experts at this military research centre have been trying to work out

0:03:39 > 0:03:41whether toxic substances were used to try to kill

0:03:41 > 0:03:43a former Russian agent and his daughter,

0:03:43 > 0:03:46who are now in hospital fighting to stay alive.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49We'll be getting the very latest with our correspondents in Moscow

0:03:49 > 0:03:51and at the scene in Salisbury later in the programme.

0:03:51 > 0:03:54The Chancellor Phillip Hammond will today outline his vision

0:03:54 > 0:03:57of an EU free trade deal for the financial services sector

0:03:57 > 0:03:59after Brexit, despite a difference of opinion

0:03:59 > 0:04:01with European negotiators.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Mr Hammond is expected to use his speech in London to focus

0:04:04 > 0:04:07on an agreement which he says will be of mutual interest

0:04:07 > 0:04:08to both parties.

0:04:08 > 0:04:11We can speak now to our Political Correspondent Jonathan Blake

0:04:11 > 0:04:19who joins us live from Westminster.

0:04:19 > 0:04:23How much do you know about what is in the speech on how significant is

0:04:23 > 0:04:28it?It is significant because if you consider your bank, your insurance

0:04:28 > 0:04:33company, your accountant if you have one, the financial services sector

0:04:33 > 0:04:38in the UK is huge, employing about 2 million people and is worth £125

0:04:38 > 0:04:42billion to the UK economy. No surprise that ministers are trying

0:04:42 > 0:04:46to protect it and make sure those companies can continue to do

0:04:46 > 0:04:51business freely across the UK after Brexit and they don't leave, taking

0:04:51 > 0:04:56jobs and business. The question is, financial services be included in a

0:04:56 > 0:05:02free-trade agreement struck with the EU after Brexit? The chancellor says

0:05:02 > 0:05:09yes and it makes sense for the EU and the UK. But the EU's chief

0:05:09 > 0:05:12negotiator says it can't be done, it doesn't exist but the Chancellor

0:05:12 > 0:05:18pointed out in response that the EU itself has tried to include

0:05:18 > 0:05:22financial services in a free-trade agreement before with the US and

0:05:22 > 0:05:29Canada city aspiration is there on our part.

0:05:29 > 0:05:32Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman,

0:05:32 > 0:05:34is beginning a three-day visit to Britain.

0:05:34 > 0:05:37He'll have lunch with the Queen and hold talks with the Prime

0:05:37 > 0:05:37Minister.

0:05:37 > 0:05:40The Government regards Saudi Arabia as an important

0:05:40 > 0:05:42strategic ally but protest marches are planned by campaign

0:05:42 > 0:05:45groups angered by the war in Yemen, where the Kingdom

0:05:45 > 0:05:46is fighting rebels.

0:05:46 > 0:05:50Here's our security correspondent Frank Gardner:

0:05:50 > 0:05:56Embarking on his first foreign trip since becoming Crown Prince, Saudi

0:05:56 > 0:06:00Arabia's Mohammed Bin Salman is a man in a hurry. After stopping over

0:06:00 > 0:06:04in Egypt this week, he is coming to Britain to promote his is an --

0:06:04 > 0:06:08vision of a new, tolerance Saudi Arabia. He has lifted the ban on

0:06:08 > 0:06:15women climbing from June. A new mega- city will be built. He also

0:06:15 > 0:06:20imprisoned without trial hundreds of wealthy Saudis in this regard hotel,

0:06:20 > 0:06:24accusing them of corruption, something that is worrying foreign

0:06:24 > 0:06:28investors. Defence and security contracts dominate ties with

0:06:28 > 0:06:31Britain. The UK supplies the Saudi Air Force with warplanes and

0:06:31 > 0:06:37munitions. In neighbouring Yemen, Saudi led airstrikes on uranium

0:06:37 > 0:06:40backed Houthi rebels are being blamed the mounting casualties

0:06:40 > 0:06:45prompting calls by some to break off relations with Saudi. A protest is

0:06:45 > 0:06:49scheduled for later today outside Downing Street but oil-rich Saudi

0:06:49 > 0:06:53Arabia is Britain's biggest Arab trading partner. Thousands of jobs

0:06:53 > 0:06:58depend on it. In a post- Brexit world Britain is looking to boost

0:06:58 > 0:07:02alliances like this one while Saudi Arabia is looking for foreign

0:07:02 > 0:07:07investment to find jobs for its Erbil lovingly young population.

0:07:07 > 0:07:10When Crown Prince Muhamed meets leaders in London, his message will

0:07:10 > 0:07:14be Saudi Arabia is open to business but this relationship will lossless

0:07:14 > 0:07:18be a controversial one.

0:07:18 > 0:07:21The top economic adviser to the White House, Gary Cohn,

0:07:21 > 0:07:23has announced his resignation - after failing to persuade

0:07:23 > 0:07:26President Trump not to impose significant tariffs on imports

0:07:26 > 0:07:27of steel and aluminium.

0:07:27 > 0:07:29Art

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Mr Cohn was regarded by many business leaders

0:07:31 > 0:07:33as a moderating influence in the administration.He's

0:07:33 > 0:07:41the latest in a long line of people who've left the White House.

0:07:42 > 0:07:48he has tremendous energy, tremendous spirit.It is a great place to be

0:07:48 > 0:07:51working. Many, many people want every single job. I'm reading that

0:07:51 > 0:07:55people may be don't want to work the Trump but believe me, everybody

0:07:55 > 0:07:59wants to work in the White House. They all want a piece of that Oval

0:07:59 > 0:08:06Office, they all want a piece of the West Wing. Sorry, I think that was

0:08:06 > 0:08:09possibly my fault for speaking too much.

0:08:09 > 0:08:10Action's being taken against so-called "secondary

0:08:10 > 0:08:12ticketing" companies over what's being described as "misleading

0:08:12 > 0:08:14pricing information" on their websites.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16The Advertising Standards Authority says the firms -

0:08:16 > 0:08:18which re-sell tickets to sold-out shows -

0:08:18 > 0:08:20have to be more upfront with customers about hidden fees.

0:08:20 > 0:08:28Our business and consumer correspondent Nina Warhurst reports:

0:08:32 > 0:08:35I was born in crossfire Tara Cheyne. The Rolling Stones are coming to

0:08:35 > 0:08:41town and I am keen to being there. This secondary ticketing sites

0:08:41 > 0:08:49Viagogo is selling a ticket for £141 but when I go to pay, this happens.

0:08:49 > 0:08:54£47 VAT and booking fees are a ticket that we thought was costing

0:08:54 > 0:08:59-- costing us £141 is now almost 200 quid. These nasty surprises are

0:08:59 > 0:09:06common. Claire used Viagogo to vie for Ed Sheeran tickets she thought

0:09:06 > 0:09:10was costing less than £300 but that was for one ticket and other fees

0:09:10 > 0:09:17were added, more than £1400 E.I rang my daughter crying and I said,

0:09:17 > 0:09:22I thought I had done something. The awful feeling is that I felt I had

0:09:22 > 0:09:26done something wrong and then I realised I hadn't actually, that the

0:09:26 > 0:09:32sole practice was very deceptive.We contacted Viagogo for a response but

0:09:32 > 0:09:37didn't get a reply. Claire did get her money back and from today, new

0:09:37 > 0:09:41guidelines could see secondary sellers prosecuted if they mislead

0:09:41 > 0:09:45consumers.We are saying that they got to be much more clear and

0:09:45 > 0:09:49upfront about the prices that we are painting when we buy tickets through

0:09:49 > 0:09:52their sites and in a nutshell, we are saying the price that we see

0:09:52 > 0:09:57when we first input how many tickets we want should be the price we pay

0:09:57 > 0:10:03at the end.If you already forked out these to see Mick and again, you

0:10:03 > 0:10:07can appeal them and next time thereunto, the ticket price you see

0:10:07 > 0:10:17should be what you get.

0:10:17 > 0:10:21Do send us your thoughts on that as well.

0:10:21 > 0:10:25If you paid more than your port. People get caught in a spiral, they

0:10:25 > 0:10:28want to see the artist they love and spend vast amounts of money and

0:10:28 > 0:10:33regretted but it seems there is no other way around it.

0:10:33 > 0:10:35A Spanish tourist has died and another is critically ill

0:10:35 > 0:10:38in hospital after a suspected carbon monoxide leak in a west

0:10:38 > 0:10:39London hotel.

0:10:39 > 0:10:4229 people were moved out of The Mayflower Hotel in Kensington

0:10:42 > 0:10:44after emergency services were called on Monday afternoon.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48Scotland Yard said initial carbon monoxide tests showed high readings.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51A BBC investigation has found more than 1,500 ambulances

0:10:51 > 0:10:54were deployed to just five people last year.

0:10:54 > 0:11:01The figures show one patient in London

0:11:01 > 0:11:03dialled for an ambulance more than 3,500 times

0:11:03 > 0:11:04over 12 months.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06The NHS say frequent callers are not "time wasters",

0:11:06 > 0:11:10but people with a genuine need, although they are costing the health

0:11:10 > 0:11:15service millions of pounds each year.

0:11:15 > 0:11:20It does impact on our ability as a service. To give a context, we do

0:11:20 > 0:11:24around 540,000 calls per year and about 10% of those calls are

0:11:24 > 0:11:28frequent callers that it has an impact because it means sometimes we

0:11:28 > 0:11:31do need to send an ambulance to these people because there is a

0:11:31 > 0:11:34concern about the information they are giving and the ambulance

0:11:34 > 0:11:38response vehicle is being deployed to the patient to win was a frequent

0:11:38 > 0:11:41caller, it means a resource might not be available for a potential

0:11:41 > 0:11:42cardiac arrest.

0:11:42 > 0:11:44Craft brewing company Brewdog is being criticised after unveiling

0:11:44 > 0:11:47a new drink, in pink packaging, which they're calling a 'beer

0:11:47 > 0:11:49for girls'.

0:11:49 > 0:11:51The company says it's a satirical dig at lazy

0:11:51 > 0:11:54marketing and stereotypes.

0:11:54 > 0:11:59The beer will cost less for women than men and proceeds will go

0:11:59 > 0:12:00towards tackling gender inequality.

0:12:00 > 0:12:02But some people on social media have described

0:12:02 > 0:12:08the campaign as "ill-judged".

0:12:10 > 0:12:15I enjoyed your dramatic pause there. It's all in the pausing.

0:12:15 > 0:12:18The world's oldest known message in a bottle has been found

0:12:18 > 0:12:21a staggering 132 years after it was thrown overboard

0:12:21 > 0:12:24on the 12th of June, 1886.

0:12:24 > 0:12:27The bottle was found by a family in Perth whilst out

0:12:27 > 0:12:29walking on a remote beach in Western Australia.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Experts confirmed the find, which was launched by

0:12:32 > 0:12:35the German Naval Observatory as part of an experiment into ocean

0:12:35 > 0:12:41and shipping routes, was authentic.

0:12:41 > 0:12:45They confirmed that it was authentic. The messages were all a

0:12:45 > 0:12:51little dull. I remember another bottle was found a few years ago.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55The German Navy just through thousands of bottles into the sea at

0:12:55 > 0:12:59Ferris points around the world and the message says, can you please

0:12:59 > 0:13:04contact the German naval office and tell us where you found it. It's not

0:13:04 > 0:13:09like, I love you Beatrice, will you marry me? It is rather logistically

0:13:09 > 0:13:16dialled. That's a shame. It is an old bottle.

0:13:20 > 0:13:27John is here it this morning. Where a use starting?

0:13:27 > 0:13:32With a smiling Jurgen Klopp. Liverpool have a rich history with

0:13:32 > 0:13:37the European Cup but you've got to be in it to win it. No wonder he is

0:13:37 > 0:13:38smiling.

0:13:38 > 0:13:39Liverpool could relax last night.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42(OOV) All the work was done in the first leg

0:13:42 > 0:13:44All the work was done in the first leg

0:13:44 > 0:13:46of their match against Porto.

0:13:46 > 0:13:49They were already five-nil up and Sadio Mane's shot was as close

0:13:49 > 0:13:51as they got to adding to that last night.

0:13:51 > 0:13:530-0 saw Liverpool through comfortably.

0:13:53 > 0:13:55The holders are also in the last eight.

0:13:55 > 0:13:58That man Cristiano Ronaldo scored as they saw off another one

0:13:58 > 0:14:03of Europe's richest clubs, Paris St Germain.

0:14:03 > 0:14:11It is a smoky stadium after players were lit by the home fans.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14England's women take on America in the SheBelieves Cup knowing that

0:14:14 > 0:14:17a point will be enough to win the tournament.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21It is Phil Neville's burst the competition since he has been in

0:14:21 > 0:14:21charge.

0:14:21 > 0:14:23England's cricketers can seal their one day series

0:14:23 > 0:14:25against New Zealand with victory in Dundedin.

0:14:25 > 0:14:29Jonny Bairstow and Joe Root both hit centuries to set the hosts a stiff

0:14:29 > 0:14:32target but New Zealand have responded well to set up another

0:14:32 > 0:14:34tight finish.

0:14:34 > 0:14:38Along one of cricket England, hasn't it been? Fingers crossed we get a

0:14:38 > 0:14:45result. John Isner the lots throughout the morning.

0:14:45 > 0:14:53As is Carol. Good morning.Good morning, everyone. This morning,

0:14:53 > 0:14:58quite a lot of weather on once again but for many today it will be a much

0:14:58 > 0:15:00drier and I today, especially in Scotland.

0:15:02 > 0:15:06Sunshine and showers there, a nice simple one. Showers around at the

0:15:06 > 0:15:11moment in the north and west of Scotland, they could turn wintry

0:15:11 > 0:15:14across Shetland, and there's also a noticeable wind here too. Heavier

0:15:14 > 0:15:20showers moving around East Anglia and the south-east, clearing away,

0:15:20 > 0:15:24leaving some cloud behind. You can see a lot of dry weather and

0:15:24 > 0:15:30sunshine, compared to yesterday in parts of Scotland, vastly different.

0:15:30 > 0:15:33Showers coming in across Wales and south-west England, temperatures

0:15:33 > 0:15:39today up to ten or 11 in the south, a more respectable 6-8 further

0:15:39 > 0:15:44north, compared again to what we've been used to. Through the evening

0:15:44 > 0:15:49and overnight, a lot of dry weather and the risk of ice on untreated

0:15:49 > 0:15:52surfaces and then this system from the South West Wiltshire in heavier

0:15:52 > 0:15:57outbreaks of rain or showers, but as it engages with cold air in parts of

0:15:57 > 0:16:00Wales, central and northern Wales and into the Midlands, we could see

0:16:00 > 0:16:06snow. Bear that in mind early in the morning and that could include

0:16:06 > 0:16:10Lincolnshire first thing as well. As we go through tomorrow, that will

0:16:10 > 0:16:15eventually pull away, pushing into the North Sea. You can see the tail

0:16:15 > 0:16:18and producing rain in the south-east. Then tomorrow again not

0:16:18 > 0:16:25a bad day. -- tail and. Some cloud, some sunshine, but for most it will

0:16:25 > 0:16:29be dry and a low pressure centre in the north-west bringing in some

0:16:29 > 0:16:33showers in western parts of Scotland as we go through the day.

0:16:33 > 0:16:38Temperatures are similar for most of tomorrow as today, 6-9 or maybe ten

0:16:38 > 0:16:43as we push into the south of England. By the time we get to

0:16:43 > 0:16:48Friday, we are still looking at dry weather, we start with some snow

0:16:48 > 0:16:52showers in Scotland first thing but they will fade through the day. A

0:16:52 > 0:16:56fair bit of sunshine. However, we have our next area of low pressure

0:16:56 > 0:17:02coming our way. This will include three things. Heavy rain across the

0:17:02 > 0:17:06south-west pushing north. The wind will strengthen around it but it

0:17:06 > 0:17:11will so bring in milder air as well. We've got ten, 11 and 12. With this,

0:17:11 > 0:17:16there will be a fair bit of cloud. Into the weekend, as that moves

0:17:16 > 0:17:21north, the milder air is coming in to southern counties. Because it

0:17:21 > 0:17:25will be wet and windy the temperature will be around 13, but

0:17:25 > 0:17:31compared to the temperatures of late, an improvement, the cold, mild

0:17:31 > 0:17:36air not getting into the far north of Scotland. As we go through the

0:17:36 > 0:17:40weekend, we have the rain continuing to push north. There will be a fair

0:17:40 > 0:17:46bit of cloud behind it. Turning that bit milder as well and also some

0:17:46 > 0:17:47sunshine as well.

0:17:49 > 0:17:53Carol, thanks very much, we will look out for it. Let's look at the

0:17:53 > 0:17:58papers, Steph has joined us. Where are you going to "As you like I'm

0:17:58 > 0:18:08going to start with... -- where are you going to start?

0:18:08 > 0:18:14There is one story dominating the papers, it is of course this case

0:18:14 > 0:18:18about these two people, a father and daughter, found poisoned, that's how

0:18:18 > 0:18:26the Guardian have written it up, a spider poison case. There's

0:18:26 > 0:18:30implications of a boycott of the World Cup, Boris Johnson was talking

0:18:30 > 0:18:33about it yesterday, but that's not the players, he's talking about what

0:18:33 > 0:18:40officials might do to Russia.The front page of the Times as well.

0:18:40 > 0:18:48Here's a photo of the daughter of Sergei script will. That's the story

0:18:48 > 0:18:51in the front page of the Daily Mirror, worldwide hunt for spy

0:19:01 > 0:19:07Mirror. Many of you talking about Bill yesterday and he was on Stand

0:19:07 > 0:19:14Up to Cancer yesterday on the Baker Off. He was moved to tears

0:19:32 > 0:19:35screening for roster concert doesn't save lives and may do more harm than

0:19:35 > 0:19:42good according to one study -- prostate cancer. It follows a long

0:19:42 > 0:19:48debate about whether the NHS should have routine screening.I've got

0:19:48 > 0:19:51three stories bore you. I'm going to go through them quickly.

0:19:51 > 0:19:58They are all interesting -- for you. We will be the judge of that.The

0:19:58 > 0:20:02first story is about Lego, their sales have fallen for the first time

0:20:02 > 0:20:08because they have too much stock. A company that has done particularly

0:20:08 > 0:20:13well, nearly went into bankruptcy in 2003, now they are saying sales have

0:20:13 > 0:20:18been great but they have too much stock, not great for them. Gregg's

0:20:18 > 0:20:26is employing bouncers outside some of its shops. People are fighting

0:20:26 > 0:20:31for the sausage rolls. I like a sausage roll.Would you enter into a

0:20:31 > 0:20:37fisticuffs for one?I wouldn't, I would wait patiently but interesting

0:20:37 > 0:20:43they have employed bouncers. Mainly to do with football days.Is it a

0:20:43 > 0:20:48particular time?Yeah, anywhere near a football ground. Final story, you

0:20:48 > 0:20:55can put a bet on anything. There's a website where they will take bets on

0:20:55 > 0:20:59whether aliens will land on the earth by 2030. Loads of rich people

0:20:59 > 0:21:03are betting on there, like Eric Schmitt, the chief executive of

0:21:03 > 0:21:07Google, has used the website to bet against a senior executive of

0:21:07 > 0:21:12Microsoft that there won't be pilotless planes in the skies by

0:21:12 > 0:21:172030.You can bet anything you want? Yeah, that there will be scientific

0:21:17 > 0:21:29evidence that a large... A Yeti exists. You can put $800 on.That's

0:21:29 > 0:21:33evidence we have too much time and money on our hands.What have you

0:21:33 > 0:21:39got, John?Looking at the World Cup, 99 days to go until the start of the

0:21:39 > 0:21:43tournament in Russia and they have launched a video. Famous players

0:21:43 > 0:21:52doing keep ERPs and the FIFA president is doing keep ERPs with

0:21:52 > 0:22:00Vladimir Putin. Incredibly cheesy and awful. The youngest child and

0:22:00 > 0:22:05brother set for a debut for England at 71.Is this walking football?

0:22:05 > 0:22:09Yeah, he will hopefully play for the England over 60s walking football

0:22:09 > 0:22:18team. Obviously there's Bobby and Jack, but at 71 he is at long last

0:22:18 > 0:22:22going to make his England debut.We have two dog stories.Do you speak

0:22:22 > 0:22:30to your dog?Full dog speak.All that sort of stuff. What does that

0:22:30 > 0:22:41mean?Hello, lovely face. Don't do it to Lou.It is very offputting.

0:22:41 > 0:22:47Dog owners speak to their dogs like babies. They may get baffled looks

0:22:47 > 0:22:54from their friends but a study has found animals love you more for it.

0:22:54 > 0:23:01You see! Remember the story about Barbara Streisand and cloning her

0:23:01 > 0:23:06dog?Yes.The dog was called Samantha. Here's a picture that has

0:23:06 > 0:23:11gone up this year. This is Samantha's grave and these are the

0:23:11 > 0:23:19two clones from some of the and Miss Scarlet and Miss Violet are their

0:23:19 > 0:23:29names. Bonding with... I want to say their mum but it isn't really their

0:23:29 > 0:23:34mum, there root dog. If you fancy dog cloning, £70,000 for that. There

0:23:34 > 0:23:42you go. None of us are going to clone our dogs, that is my bet for

0:23:42 > 0:23:42that website.

0:23:42 > 0:23:45You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

0:23:45 > 0:23:47The majority of women who suffer from domestic violence aren't

0:23:47 > 0:23:50reporting the abuse to the police, according to a new survey.

0:23:50 > 0:23:54The research, which was carried out by Women's Aid, shows that just

0:23:54 > 0:23:56under half of women in refuges make an official report.

0:23:56 > 0:23:59Domestic abuse comes in many forms including harassment and assault

0:23:59 > 0:24:07and can affect both men and women, as Ali Fortescue reports.

0:24:07 > 0:24:12Sometimes a lot of the violence was towards the children, and it was me

0:24:12 > 0:24:19stepping in the way. That's how it would turn onto me. But, yeah, I

0:24:19 > 0:24:24feel a lot of regret. A lot of regret.Emma, not her real name, was

0:24:24 > 0:24:29with a partner who she says abuse Durval 15 years but like so many

0:24:29 > 0:24:33other survivors, she never told police what was happening to her.At

0:24:33 > 0:24:37the end of the day it is still the children's that and I would have to

0:24:37 > 0:24:41live with the fact that if he got arrested and sent to prison, that's

0:24:41 > 0:24:46taking the children's dad away from them.Of more than 14,000 survivors

0:24:46 > 0:24:46using

0:24:46 > 0:24:47them.Of more than 14,000 survivors using refuges and community

0:24:47 > 0:24:51services, figures show less than a third went to police last year.

0:24:51 > 0:24:57Fewer than in 2016. And in just one in seven cases has there been a

0:24:57 > 0:25:00criminal case or sanctions against the perpetrator.

0:25:00 > 0:25:04See an awful lot of women who don't think that prosecuting their abuser

0:25:04 > 0:25:10is worthwhile. They aren't sure they will get an empathetic response.

0:25:10 > 0:25:13They get a sense that actually things might just spiralled even

0:25:13 > 0:25:15worse out of their control.

0:25:16 > 0:25:16A

0:25:16 > 0:25:20A recent report by the independent criminal Justice inspector found

0:25:20 > 0:25:24that police responded to more than 400,000 domestic abuse crimes in the

0:25:24 > 0:25:30year to June 2016. That's a 23% increase in just one year. They

0:25:30 > 0:25:34found that while some progress had been made, a changing culture is

0:25:34 > 0:25:37still needed by many forces.

0:25:37 > 0:25:42Morning, and the.Hi, I'm dealing with a...

0:25:42 > 0:25:47Northumbria police has been praised for its work on domestic abuse. It

0:25:47 > 0:25:51says building relationships with support charities have helped to

0:25:51 > 0:25:54create lines of contact with victims.

0:25:54 > 0:25:5830% of all violence against the person is through domestic abuse, so

0:25:58 > 0:26:03it's a huge issue for the police to manage. We need to attack it very

0:26:03 > 0:26:08strongly and very intelligently.And what are the main problems that we

0:26:08 > 0:26:12saw in them report was the culture of frontline staff, does that mean

0:26:12 > 0:26:18victims aren't being trusted?I hope not. Not every frontline officer

0:26:18 > 0:26:23understands it, has been trained in it, takes it seriously. So, yes,

0:26:23 > 0:26:26comprehensive training must be done and I think there's a big drive to

0:26:26 > 0:26:29do that. The hope is that more work is being

0:26:29 > 0:26:34done to engage with survivors like Emma, but today's figures show just

0:26:34 > 0:26:36how many still aren't coming forward.

0:26:36 > 0:26:40If you ask in time then you're going to get that help you need to get you

0:26:40 > 0:26:46away, to get you out of that situation so it never needs to get

0:26:46 > 0:26:48to that point.Ali Fortescue, BBC News.

0:34:44 > 0:34:47The company says it's a satirical dig at lazy

0:34:47 > 0:34:47marketing and stereotypes.

0:34:47 > 0:34:51The beer will cost less for women than men and proceeds will go

0:34:51 > 0:34:52towards tackling gender inequality.

0:34:52 > 0:34:54But some people on social media have described

0:34:54 > 0:35:02the campaign as "ill-judged".

0:35:15 > 0:35:20Last week, and image of Parker Curry 's staring at a picture of Michelle

0:35:30 > 0:35:37looks like a lot of fun. Adorable. Adorable. Look at them go. I would

0:35:37 > 0:35:46like to hear the music as well. It is a silent movie.

0:35:46 > 0:35:51John is with us this morning. A bit of that going on in the Liverpool

0:35:51 > 0:35:59dressing room. I would have thought so. A shocked shoe shuffle.

0:35:59 > 0:36:05Liverpool as we know, such a rich history in the European Cup. He

0:36:05 > 0:36:10wants to take them back to those great days once again. They are on

0:36:10 > 0:36:14the path, aren't they? They were on easy street because of what they

0:36:14 > 0:36:20did. It wasn't as thrilling as the first leg.

0:36:20 > 0:36:24When the first leg was as thrilling, Liverpool could afford to take ite

0:36:24 > 0:36:26asy last night.

0:36:26 > 0:36:32Sadio Mane closest as anyone to adding to that but hit the post,

0:36:32 > 0:36:370-0 enough to see them through.

0:36:37 > 0:36:41I think this year will be longer, to be honest. It should not a big

0:36:41 > 0:36:49surprise. In the next round will be very difficult. I think that's

0:36:49 > 0:36:54clear. We have a lot of good teams, seven of the very good teams will be

0:36:54 > 0:37:01then involved so maybe five of them, for them I learned from England.

0:37:01 > 0:37:06Let's make it easier, to be honest. But I think we will have a chance,

0:37:06 > 0:37:15for sure, to go to the semis then and that is of course to tire.

0:37:15 > 0:37:18Look at the scene in France as Paris Saint Germain supporters

0:37:18 > 0:37:21let off flares in the stadium as they lost to Real Madrid.

0:37:21 > 0:37:24Perhaps no wonder their keeper failed to stop Cristiano Ronaldo's

0:37:24 > 0:37:27header as smoke flooded the field, as the holders go through.

0:37:27 > 0:37:34Can Tottenham join them there?

0:37:37 > 0:37:38champions Juventus heading into tonight's second leg.

0:37:38 > 0:37:41By the looks of it Mauricio Pochettino's been

0:37:41 > 0:37:41doing his homework.

0:37:41 > 0:37:44They came from two nil down in the first leg,

0:37:44 > 0:37:47hoping to reach the quarter finals for just the second time.

0:37:47 > 0:37:50England's Women only need a point from their match against USA tonight

0:37:51 > 0:37:54The tournament features some of the top sides in the world

0:37:54 > 0:37:57and England have already beaten France and drawn with Germany.

0:37:57 > 0:38:00But the Americans are the highest ranked team in the world,

0:38:00 > 0:38:00the

0:38:00 > 0:38:03toughest test yet for new boss Phil Neville.

0:38:03 > 0:38:08See the scheme is a little bit of, not where we can just go for it

0:38:08 > 0:38:13really, in a way, and Campbell and risk because you need to find out

0:38:13 > 0:38:17about your players in the biggest game. This could be a World Cup

0:38:17 > 0:38:22final in 12 months' time and I want to see whether we can play this part

0:38:22 > 0:38:25-- this 12 months' time and the biggest occasions one go to test my

0:38:25 > 0:38:26players even more.

0:38:26 > 0:38:29England's cricketers had few problems seeing off Australia

0:38:29 > 0:38:32in a one day series earlier this year but they're finding New Zeakand

0:38:32 > 0:38:33a much tougher proposition.

0:38:33 > 0:38:35-- Zealand.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38The hosts have levelled the seresi at 2-all with one to play

0:38:38 > 0:38:41with England posted 334 thaks to centuries from Jonny airstown

0:38:41 > 0:38:45and Joe Root but the Black Caps chased down the total.

0:38:45 > 0:38:51Five wickets in three balls to spare. Ross Taylor scored 181. He

0:38:51 > 0:38:56managed that while limping and earlier hurt himself diving to avoid

0:38:56 > 0:38:59being run out. Not that it mattered.

0:38:59 > 0:39:02And England's rugby union captain Dylan Hartley might not be able

0:39:02 > 0:39:04to play against France at the weekend.

0:39:04 > 0:39:06He's struggling with a leg injury.

0:39:06 > 0:39:08He joins a growing injury list- Sam Underhill's definitely out

0:39:08 > 0:39:12of that match and wing Jack Nowell, seen here scoring against Italy,

0:39:12 > 0:39:14will miss the rest of the Six Nations.

0:39:14 > 0:39:17England realistically need to win to have any chance of the title.

0:39:17 > 0:39:22Now, any idea who this is?

0:39:22 > 0:39:25A famous British athlete, who has been turned into a Barbie

0:39:25 > 0:39:28doll to mark International Women's Day tomorrow.

0:39:28 > 0:39:32Nicola Adams, the first UK athlete to form part of the 'Shero' range.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35It's all about inspiring young women, and breaking the mould

0:39:35 > 0:39:42of what typical Barbies looked like.

0:39:42 > 0:39:45Nicola is the first UK star to join Barbie's 'Shero' range,

0:39:45 > 0:39:53which is designed to honour inspiring women.

0:39:53 > 0:39:56The manufacturers of the doll say they chose Nicola

0:39:56 > 0:39:58because of her outstanding contributions to boxing.

0:39:58 > 0:40:06Nicola said she's excited to become the first ever boxer Barbie.

0:40:06 > 0:40:09It appears the investigation into what happened to a former

0:40:09 > 0:40:11Russian spy, found collapsed in Salisbury, is already putting

0:40:11 > 0:40:13a strain on relations between the UK and Russia.

0:40:13 > 0:40:15The Kremlin strongly denies any involvement.

0:40:15 > 0:40:21But the foreign secretary says the government would be forced

0:40:21 > 0:40:24to act "robustly" should it find any evidence of wrongdoing.

0:40:24 > 0:40:25But what could that mean?

0:40:25 > 0:40:31Joining us is James Nixey, head of the Russia's programme

0:40:31 > 0:40:39at Chatham House.

0:40:43 > 0:40:47Is it possible for this to not affect Anglo Russian relations? You

0:40:47 > 0:40:55might it's impossible and implausibly as Russia.

0:40:55 > 0:41:00implausibly as Russia. We keep saying that Ross and relations with

0:41:00 > 0:41:04the UK are at the bottom of the barrel but we keep finding new

0:41:04 > 0:41:09depths depths. -- depths. It is hard to say what this means in real

0:41:09 > 0:41:14terms. UK will usher relations have been described as toxic by the

0:41:14 > 0:41:21Russians themselves. We are in a new era of relations which has always

0:41:21 > 0:41:28been peaks and troughs but largely periods of hostility.There are so

0:41:28 > 0:41:32many things we don't know. We don't know what the substance is, or

0:41:32 > 0:41:36whether they were both targeted but it is found to be there was Russian

0:41:36 > 0:41:41involvement, are their options or more sanctions, for example? We

0:41:41 > 0:41:47heard Boris Johnson talking about a boycott the World Cup.At the

0:41:47 > 0:41:52moment, while we remain in the EU, Boris Johnson called for an increase

0:41:52 > 0:41:58in sanctions after the Russians were shelling Aleppo and causing human

0:41:58 > 0:42:01rights atrocities but that was knocked down by other governments.

0:42:01 > 0:42:05We are locked in for another year. There is a unique relationship

0:42:05 > 0:42:10between the UK and Russia whereby a lot of very wealthy Russians whose

0:42:10 > 0:42:16money is dirty and they reside in London, they properties, they run

0:42:16 > 0:42:20newspapers and football clubs, and they could be squeezed and that

0:42:20 > 0:42:24would have an effect but is they are the Russian elite and they have

0:42:24 > 0:42:27close contacts with the Russian President said there are things the

0:42:27 > 0:42:35UK could do bilaterally with Russia or against Russia if it needs to.

0:42:35 > 0:42:38This is what the Russian Embassy responded to Boris Johnson's

0:42:38 > 0:42:42statement. We are impressed by his statement and he spoke in a manner

0:42:42 > 0:42:46as if the investigation was over and Russia was found responsible for

0:42:46 > 0:42:50what happened in Salisbury. We regret instead of a proper

0:42:50 > 0:42:54clarification he chose to threaten Russia with retribution. They go on

0:42:54 > 0:42:58to talk about an anti- Russian campaign. Is that the feeling in

0:42:58 > 0:43:07Russia?On the Russian Embassy response, the Mandy Rice Davies

0:43:07 > 0:43:13things comes into response, they would, wouldn't they? But the UK has

0:43:13 > 0:43:19to be seen to respond or it would look impotent. This is a pattern and

0:43:19 > 0:43:25we are simply in this period whereby the two governments, I mean the

0:43:25 > 0:43:29level of educational exchanges and cultural exchanges are fine, trade

0:43:29 > 0:43:34is not bad, it hasn't fallen much since Russia annexed Crimea in 2014

0:43:34 > 0:43:40but this unique relationship between politicians and civil servants, that

0:43:40 > 0:43:51is something new and it's getting worse.Let's

0:43:53 > 0:43:56worse.Let's talk about Sergei Skripal. Why IT are being targeted?

0:43:56 > 0:44:00Would his daughter have been targeted?We are in the realms of

0:44:00 > 0:44:06conjecture. One can hypothesise that it is a warning to others not to

0:44:06 > 0:44:12turn, not to sell Russian secrets abroad. It could be because he was

0:44:12 > 0:44:15still working with the UK intelligence services but this is

0:44:15 > 0:44:22conjecture. In that respect, I do agree with the Russians. A proper

0:44:22 > 0:44:25investigative process does need to take place. But what happened on

0:44:25 > 0:44:30Sunday its recent patterns of Russian state-sponsored

0:44:30 > 0:44:37assassination attempts in the UK. Still so many questions as yet

0:44:37 > 0:44:44unanswered. We will be live in Salisbury as well later.

0:44:44 > 0:44:46Let's have a look at the weather with Carol.

0:44:48 > 0:44:53Today we are looking at sunshine and showers. Some of those will be heavy

0:44:53 > 0:44:57and some could be wintry but the wintry ones will be confined to the

0:44:57 > 0:45:01north and west of Scotland. Currently here we have rain, but it

0:45:01 > 0:45:05could turn to snow particularly across Shetland even at lower

0:45:05 > 0:45:09levels, and also here we have a keen wind. For the rest of us, showers

0:45:09 > 0:45:14around, a showery and rain pushing into the North Sea, clearing

0:45:14 > 0:45:21eventually East Anglia but behind it a fair bit cloud around and

0:45:21 > 0:45:30showers... Some heavy. Look at the dry weather and the sunshine. The

0:45:30 > 0:45:33sunshine will come out for a lengthy amount of time, but not seeing much

0:45:33 > 0:45:37in the far east of East Anglia, hanging on to the cloud until after

0:45:37 > 0:45:41dark. As we head on through the overnight period, a lot of dry

0:45:41 > 0:45:45weather but where it's been damp there's the risk of ice on untreated

0:45:45 > 0:45:49surfaces, we could see some patchy missed forming as well and then we

0:45:49 > 0:45:55have these showers from the south. You can see the arc of it coming

0:45:55 > 0:45:59through the Channel Islands and the south-east, that will be rain. As it

0:45:59 > 0:46:04moves across parts of Wales, central and northern Wales, into the

0:46:04 > 0:46:07Midlands and potentially, depending on the speed, Lincolnshire, by this

0:46:07 > 0:46:11time tomorrow we could see snow and there's the potential for that to be

0:46:11 > 0:46:15disruptive. Keep watching the weather forecast, especially if

0:46:15 > 0:46:19you're travelling. As we go through tomorrow, that will move away slowly

0:46:19 > 0:46:25from Lincolnshire, getting dragged into the North Sea. Behind it once

0:46:25 > 0:46:28again, a lot of dry weather. A fair bit of sunshine around, our low

0:46:28 > 0:46:33pressure centre by then is across the far north-west of Scotland so

0:46:33 > 0:46:37around it we have showers wrapped around the low pressure, bringing

0:46:37 > 0:46:42some showery breaks into western Scotland and the Outer Hebrides.

0:46:42 > 0:46:45Temperatures tomorrow, five, six or seven in the north, eight, nine, ten

0:46:45 > 0:46:50in the south. By Friday we will have snow showers to start the day in

0:46:50 > 0:46:54parts of Scotland. They will tend to fade and again, a lot of dry

0:46:54 > 0:46:59weather. Where you see the greens on the chart that's where we have the

0:46:59 > 0:47:03sunshine, but through the day a new area of low pressure is coming our

0:47:03 > 0:47:07way doing three things, bringing in heavy rain from the south-west,

0:47:07 > 0:47:11pushing north-east. Also it will bring strengthening winds and milder

0:47:11 > 0:47:16conditions. Temperatures in the north on Friday, seven, eight. In

0:47:16 > 0:47:21the south, ten, 11. As this comes in, it will raise the temperatures

0:47:21 > 0:47:25probably to around 13. Doesn't sound great but that's because it's also

0:47:25 > 0:47:29bringing a fair bit of cloud and rain. Look how the milder air travel

0:47:29 > 0:47:34is that bit further north. Not quite getting into the far north of

0:47:34 > 0:47:37England, Scotland and Northern Ireland but it won't be as cold as

0:47:37 > 0:47:42it has been. This weekend we have the rain pushing north, it will turn

0:47:42 > 0:47:45milder, because it's bringing in the milder air from the Atlantic, but

0:47:45 > 0:47:49also there will be sunny spells to look forward to.

0:47:50 > 0:47:54I'm not sure I can remember the last time you said that, Carol, thank you

0:47:54 > 0:47:55very much.

0:47:55 > 0:47:57Steph's here.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00Reacting to Donald Trump's export tariffs?

0:48:00 > 0:48:04Most of Donald Trump's tweets are controversial but the ones around

0:48:04 > 0:48:08trade have got the business world worried. Let me tell you about that.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12Donald Trump has posted several tweets about the way the US trades

0:48:12 > 0:48:15with the rest of the world in the last few days.

0:48:15 > 0:48:18A lot of what he's said has been about protecting American jobs

0:48:18 > 0:48:20by putting import tariffs on things like steel,

0:48:20 > 0:48:21aluminium and European cars.

0:48:21 > 0:48:25That would push up the price of those imports and make it more

0:48:25 > 0:48:27attractive for Americans to buy American-made stuff,

0:48:27 > 0:48:30and that could have impact here in the UK.

0:48:30 > 0:48:34We sell around £360 million worth of steel to the US each year,

0:48:34 > 0:48:37and the British car industry, which employs nearly

0:48:37 > 0:48:39one million people, sold more than 200,000 cars

0:48:39 > 0:48:47to the US last year.

0:48:50 > 0:48:52There's lots of concern about what trade tariffs could mean.

0:48:52 > 0:48:56Kevin Doran is Managing Director AJ Bell Investments.

0:48:56 > 0:49:02Thanks for joining us.Good morning. Why is this such a big deal?Donald

0:49:02 > 0:49:05Trump is involved basically. Essentially it's the initial volley

0:49:05 > 0:49:11on what could be a trade war. The EU will potentially retaliate and then

0:49:11 > 0:49:15of course you're dealing with someone who doesn't like to

0:49:15 > 0:49:18negotiate and leads through bravado and then you could have a tit for

0:49:18 > 0:49:23tat war on trade tariffs and quotas. This causes uncertainty for

0:49:23 > 0:49:32business, which they hate.It does. How much is the US worth to the UK?

0:49:32 > 0:49:36We're talking billions and billions in terms of the amount of trade that

0:49:36 > 0:49:40takes place between countries. It's not just the UK/ US story,

0:49:40 > 0:49:45essentially this is politics. It interferes with the business world

0:49:45 > 0:49:48but this is Donald Trump saying thank you to the rustbelt because

0:49:48 > 0:49:53without the key states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin we wouldn't

0:49:53 > 0:49:57be talking about President Trump, we would be talking about President

0:49:57 > 0:50:00Clinton. What happens next, now he has done

0:50:00 > 0:50:04these tweets, what will happen?To be fair, it didn't need the tweets

0:50:04 > 0:50:09to bring it to our attention. This has been going on for about a year

0:50:09 > 0:50:13now but it's now coming to a head and he needs to decide whether he

0:50:13 > 0:50:17will impose tariffs or quotas in the next couple of weeks. The next stage

0:50:17 > 0:50:21will be how the EU retaliates. The EU has come out and said they will

0:50:21 > 0:50:28look to go for tit for tat tariffs. They will go for political items.

0:50:28 > 0:50:33Orange juice, affecting Florida. They will go for jeans, affecting

0:50:33 > 0:50:37California. And then the rustbelt with things like Harley-Davidson and

0:50:37 > 0:50:43Jack Daniels in Kentucky. It is a political trade war as well as an

0:50:43 > 0:50:48economic one.It could be a while before we see any tariffs coming in?

0:50:48 > 0:50:51Unfortunately one of the quirks of the US system is the president can

0:50:51 > 0:51:01almost unilaterally impose tariffs. Then you go to the WTO and an

0:51:01 > 0:51:04arbitration process. The last time this was done by President Bush in

0:51:04 > 0:51:102002 it took 20 months for that to go through the WTO. But even then,

0:51:10 > 0:51:15and this was steel tariffs imposed, it hit the US economy more because

0:51:15 > 0:51:19they are more involved in construction and calm any factoring.

0:51:19 > 0:51:22There's more jobs in those industries than in the steel

0:51:22 > 0:51:26industry -- car manufacturing.Often we see with companies worried about

0:51:26 > 0:51:30Brexit, they will look for opportunities elsewhere, so in some

0:51:30 > 0:51:33ways it could be helpful for the UK because we could be more

0:51:33 > 0:51:37entrepreneurial?It's certainly going to happen while we're part of

0:51:37 > 0:51:42the EU, so we will have to respond as part of the EU negotiation. Don't

0:51:42 > 0:51:47get me wrong, there's too much steel on the planet. The Chinese, in order

0:51:47 > 0:51:52to basically build the country they have over the past 20 have massively

0:51:52 > 0:51:55increased the amount of steel they produce and now have a slowdown in

0:51:55 > 0:52:00Chinese construction meaning you have these creation facilities for

0:52:00 > 0:52:04steel and they are looking to put it elsewhere in the world. That's why

0:52:04 > 0:52:08when you look at what's happening in the US political system, the likes

0:52:08 > 0:52:12of Paul Ryan saying to Trump, there is too much steel in the world but

0:52:12 > 0:52:16we shouldn't be doing this through tariffs, we should do it through

0:52:16 > 0:52:20quotas instead.Interesting, we'll see how this plays out, Kevin,

0:52:20 > 0:52:21thanks.

0:52:21 > 0:52:23An exhibition celebrating the works of Picasso has opened

0:52:23 > 0:52:25at the Tate Modern in London.

0:52:25 > 0:52:27It's a look at his art from 1932

0:52:27 > 0:52:29and there's one very distinct influence.

0:52:29 > 0:52:31His young lover, at the time kept secret

0:52:31 > 0:52:34from his wife, inspired what would go on to be some

0:52:34 > 0:52:40of his most celebrated works.

0:52:40 > 0:52:42One recently sold at auction for a European record

0:52:42 > 0:52:43of £49 million.

0:52:43 > 0:52:50Here's our arts correspondent, David Sillito.

0:52:55 > 0:53:03There's a lot of emotion in this exhibition. It's kind of into lust

0:53:03 > 0:53:13and life. There's also drama. Normally a Tate show would be a rip

0:53:13 > 0:53:17respect of a life's work but this is just one year of Picasso's and that

0:53:17 > 0:53:24year is 1932. This is Picasso and this is his wife, Olga, but when you

0:53:24 > 0:53:33look at the paintings, it's another face. Wherever you look you see the

0:53:33 > 0:53:39same shock of blonde hair, the same profile. And here she is again, the

0:53:39 > 0:53:48same hair, the same profile. We're not looking at Picasso's wife here,

0:53:48 > 0:53:52though, this is married to raise Walter. And this is married to

0:53:52 > 0:53:55raise's granddaughter, Diana. Two generations have passed but you can

0:53:55 > 0:54:01probably see a certain family likeness.When I think of it as a

0:54:01 > 0:54:09granddaughter when I walk into an exhibition like this is it's not

0:54:09 > 0:54:13testimony to a great artist, it's a testimony to an encounter.She is

0:54:13 > 0:54:18everywhere, and accession, Picasso was approaching 50 when the affair

0:54:18 > 0:54:25began and Marie trees was a teenager. She was very young, she

0:54:25 > 0:54:31was a teenager?She was 17.5. She's excepting the idea to see him again

0:54:31 > 0:54:39the following day. She was young but also adventurous. If a relationship

0:54:39 > 0:54:43can bring you to an extraordinary level of life experience, I could

0:54:43 > 0:54:48never judge that.London's Tate gallery honours Picassos.These days

0:54:48 > 0:54:55we've become used to anyway of seeing, today this could go for £100

0:54:55 > 0:55:01million but that's the art market. This is the story of the man and the

0:55:01 > 0:55:05art and the paintings. David Sillito, BBC News.

0:55:05 > 0:55:09Extraordinary amounts of money. We have good news for music fans.

0:55:09 > 0:55:10Regulators are cracking down

0:55:10 > 0:55:12on so-called secondary ticket providers that re-sell tickets

0:55:12 > 0:55:14for sold out shows and inflated prices.

0:55:14 > 0:55:16Many artists like Ed Sheeran are opposed

0:55:16 > 0:55:20to their practices, which can often see tickets selling for far more

0:55:20 > 0:55:23than their face value, he now insists that four forms of ID

0:55:23 > 0:55:31are shown by fans at his concerts.

0:55:37 > 0:55:42Lots of you getting in touch about this, you feel strongly about it.

0:55:42 > 0:55:45Paying for Foo Fighters tickets, I pay double the price on a certain

0:55:45 > 0:55:49site because I wanted to see them and the official site sold out in

0:55:49 > 0:55:54minutes. They resold tickets for the original

0:55:54 > 0:55:58price. Lots of artists are getting involved in solving the problem,

0:55:58 > 0:56:06aren't they?300 pounds for Gaga tickets, they were £46 each face

0:56:06 > 0:56:11value. Went on sale 10am, straight on the site, never again. This

0:56:11 > 0:56:16person said they were too ill to go to the gig so they were unused. Many

0:56:16 > 0:56:21people saying about the time that tickets go on sale, people are at

0:56:21 > 0:56:25work, they disappear completely and they can only get them through these

0:56:25 > 0:56:29sites.We would like your solutions and your experiences and we will be

0:56:44 > 0:56:48We will be talking about this later. So many people have been in this

0:56:48 > 0:56:52situation. A lot of ticket tourism goes on. People have said they come

0:56:52 > 0:56:57on holiday, one says Canada, they spend £500 to go and see Liverpool

0:56:57 > 0:57:01against Bournemouth in the Premier League, which is over the odds, but

1:00:32 > 1:00:33Bye for now.

1:00:54 > 1:00:58Hello - this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

1:01:01 > 1:01:04The government will hold an emergency meeting of the Cobra

1:01:04 > 1:01:04committee this morning.

1:01:06 > 1:01:14counter-terrorism police have now taken over the investigation.

1:01:25 > 1:01:27Good morning - it's Wednesday 7 March.

1:01:27 > 1:01:35Also this morning:

1:01:39 > 1:01:41Saudi's Crown prince arrives in Britain amid protests

1:01:41 > 1:01:43about his human rights record.

1:01:49 > 1:01:52on hidden fees.

1:01:52 > 1:01:55I felt I had done something wrong.

1:01:55 > 1:01:58When I realised that I had not, actually, that this whole practice

1:01:58 > 1:02:03was very deceptive.

1:02:03 > 1:02:05The government wants to make our everyday items that

1:02:05 > 1:02:07connect to the internet- like security cameras,

1:02:07 > 1:02:10music speakers and baby monitors - safer from hackers.

1:02:10 > 1:02:11I'll find out why.

1:02:11 > 1:02:13In sport, Liverpool are the first British team

1:02:13 > 1:02:14through to the last

1:02:14 > 1:02:15eight of the Champions League.

1:02:15 > 1:02:18They'll be joined by holders Real Madrid, who beat

1:02:18 > 1:02:21Paris Saint Germain in a smoky stadium in Paris after flares

1:02:21 > 1:02:23were let off by the home fans.

1:02:26 > 1:02:28attack has moved back in with his family -

1:02:28 > 1:02:33thanks to the DIY SOS team.

1:02:33 > 1:02:41And Carol has the weather:

1:02:41 > 1:02:48Good morning. It is a chilly start to some of us. Most of us to

1:02:48 > 1:02:55relatively mild start. There will be lengthy sunny spells as well but

1:02:55 > 1:02:59tonight, some of us could see some more snow and I will tell you where

1:02:59 > 1:03:00in 15 minutes.

1:03:00 > 1:03:02First, our main story.

1:03:02 > 1:03:04The Home Secretary will chair a emergency meeting

1:03:04 > 1:03:07of the Government's COBRA committee this morning to discuss

1:03:07 > 1:03:10the suspected poisoning of a former Russian agent and his daughter.

1:03:10 > 1:03:16(PRES2) Sergei and Yulia Skripal are still in a critical condition

1:03:16 > 1:03:19-- Sergei and Yulia Skripal are still in a critical condition

1:03:19 > 1:03:22after being found unconscious on Sunday in Salisbury.

1:03:22 > 1:03:24Russia has denied any wrongdoing, but the Foreign Secretary Boris

1:03:24 > 1:03:27Johnson has warned of 'robust' action should the Kremlin be found

1:03:27 > 1:03:28to be involved.

1:03:28 > 1:03:34Tom Burridge reports.

1:03:34 > 1:03:37Uncomfortable questions linger here in Wiltshire where a former

1:03:37 > 1:03:45Russian agent and his daughter were struck down

1:03:45 > 1:03:47Yulia Skripal lives in Russia and was visiting her father,

1:03:47 > 1:03:49Sergei, in Salisbury.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52This CCTV footage shows them just half an hour

1:03:52 > 1:03:54before locals alerted the police that they were unconscious

1:03:54 > 1:04:02on a park bench.

1:04:05 > 1:04:08Sergei Skripal was an officer in Russian military intelligence

1:04:08 > 1:04:10but in 2004 he was arrested and later convicted

1:04:10 > 1:04:11for working for MI6.

1:04:11 > 1:04:15In 2010, he was handed over to Britain as part of a spy swap.

1:04:15 > 1:04:17The Russian government said suggestions it was involved

1:04:17 > 1:04:20are completely untrue but the murder in London in 2006

1:04:20 > 1:04:22of former Russian spy Alexander Litvinenko means suspicion

1:04:22 > 1:04:30is almost inevitable.

1:04:31 > 1:04:33Should evidence emerge that implies state responsibility

1:04:33 > 1:04:35then Her Majesty 's Government will respond

1:04:35 > 1:04:35appropriately and robustly.

1:04:35 > 1:04:43And the ramifications for Russian-UK relations are huge.

1:04:43 > 1:04:46If Russia is behind it, it means they are taking things

1:04:46 > 1:04:49to a whole new level.

1:04:49 > 1:04:51This is in fact a kind of declaration of war.

1:04:51 > 1:04:55Experts at this military research centre have been trying to work out

1:04:55 > 1:04:57whether toxic substances were used to try and kill

1:04:57 > 1:04:59a former Russian agent and his daughter,

1:04:59 > 1:05:02who are now in hospital fighting to stay alive.

1:05:02 > 1:05:04Tom Burridge, BBC News.

1:05:04 > 1:05:07In a moment we'll get the latest from Moscow

1:05:07 > 1:05:11with our Correspondent Sarah Rainsford, but first let's go live

1:05:11 > 1:05:19to Salisbury and Laila Nathoo.

1:05:19 > 1:05:24Telstra that more about the police investigation. The investigation is

1:05:24 > 1:05:30being headed up by counterterror police. The Wiltshire police were

1:05:30 > 1:05:35handing it over to counterterrorism police, not because this is being

1:05:35 > 1:05:40treated as a terrorist act, but because it's an unusual incident.

1:05:40 > 1:05:44They have the resources to try to deal with it. Late last night, a

1:05:44 > 1:05:52flurry of activity, and cordons in place. There are still police

1:05:52 > 1:06:00cordons in place. Last night, those cordons were widened.

1:06:00 > 1:06:03cordons were widened. Mask -- this morning, those cordons seem to have

1:06:03 > 1:06:12slimmed back down. Trying to identify the substance that the

1:06:12 > 1:06:21couple were exposed to. That could still take a number of days.

1:06:21 > 1:06:23still take a number of days.Sarah, the Russian embassy say they were

1:06:23 > 1:06:29impressed. Talking about anti- Russian campaigns. I wonder how this

1:06:29 > 1:06:37news has gone down in Russia. It seems we have lost her. Not quite

1:06:37 > 1:06:47sure what happened. We will try to get back to Moscow at some stage. We

1:06:47 > 1:06:50will be speaking about this throughout the programme.

1:06:50 > 1:06:54Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman,

1:06:54 > 1:06:56is beginning a three-day visit to Britain.

1:06:56 > 1:06:59He'll have lunch with the Queen and hold talks with the Prime

1:06:59 > 1:06:59Minister.

1:06:59 > 1:07:01The Government regards Saudi Arabia as an important

1:07:01 > 1:07:04strategic ally but protest marches are planned by campaign

1:07:04 > 1:07:07groups angered by the war in Yemen, where the Kingdom

1:07:07 > 1:07:07is fighting rebels.

1:07:07 > 1:07:09Here's our security correspondent Frank Gardner:

1:07:09 > 1:07:12Embarking on his first foreign trip since becoming Crown Prince,

1:07:12 > 1:07:20Saudi Arabia's Mohammed Bin Salman is a man in a hurry.

1:07:20 > 1:07:23After stopping over in Egypt this week, he is coming to Britain

1:07:23 > 1:07:26to promote his vision of a new, tolerance Saudi Arabia.

1:07:26 > 1:07:28He's lifted the ban on women driving from June.

1:07:28 > 1:07:30Cinemas and entertainment are being introduced,

1:07:30 > 1:07:32and a new mega-city will be built.

1:07:32 > 1:07:35He also imprisoned without trial hundreds of wealthy Saudis in this

1:07:35 > 1:07:36Riyadh hotel, accusing them of corruption, something

1:07:36 > 1:07:43that's worrying foreign investors.

1:07:43 > 1:07:45Defence and security contracts dominate ties with Britain.

1:07:45 > 1:07:48The UK supplies the Saudi air force with warplanes and munitions.

1:07:48 > 1:07:52In neighbouring Yemen, Saudi-led airstrikes on

1:07:52 > 1:07:55Iranian-backed Houthi rebels are being blamed

1:07:55 > 1:07:58for mounting casualties.

1:07:58 > 1:08:01That's prompted calls by some to break off relations with Saudi.

1:08:01 > 1:08:09A protest is scheduled for later today outside Downing Street.

1:08:09 > 1:08:11But oil-rich Saudi Arabia is Britain's biggest

1:08:11 > 1:08:12Arab trading partner.

1:08:12 > 1:08:14Thousands of jobs depend on it.

1:08:14 > 1:08:20In a post-Brexit world, Britain is looking to boost

1:08:20 > 1:08:21alliances like this one,

1:08:21 > 1:08:23while Saudi Arabia is looking for foreign investment

1:08:23 > 1:08:26to find jobs for its overwhelmingly young population.

1:08:26 > 1:08:28When Crown Prince Mohammed meets leaders in London today,

1:08:28 > 1:08:31his message will be "Saudi Arabia is open to business" but this

1:08:31 > 1:08:33relationship will always be a controversial one.

1:08:33 > 1:08:40Frank Gardner, BBC News.

1:08:40 > 1:08:42Action's being taken against so-called "secondary

1:08:42 > 1:08:44ticketing" companies over what's being described as "misleading

1:08:44 > 1:08:47pricing information" on their websites.

1:08:47 > 1:08:50The Advertising Standards Authority says the firms -

1:08:50 > 1:08:52which re-sell tickets to sold-out shows -

1:08:52 > 1:08:54have to be more upfront with customers about hidden fees.

1:08:54 > 1:09:02Our business and consumer correspondent Nina Warhurst reports:

1:09:04 > 1:09:06# I was born in a cross-fire hurricane...#.

1:09:06 > 1:09:10The Rolling Stones are coming to town and I am keen to be there.

1:09:10 > 1:09:12The secondary ticketing site, Viagogo, is reselling a ticket

1:09:12 > 1:09:15for £141 but when I go to pay this happens.

1:09:15 > 1:09:18£47 VAT booking fee, so a ticket that we thought

1:09:18 > 1:09:24was costing us £141 is now almost 200 quid.

1:09:24 > 1:09:32These nasty surprises are common.

1:09:36 > 1:09:39Claire used Viagogo to buy four Ed Sheeran tickets.

1:09:39 > 1:09:43She thought it was costing less than £300, but that was for one

1:09:43 > 1:09:46ticket and, after fees were added, more than £1400 left her account.

1:09:46 > 1:09:49I rang my daughter crying, and I said, like, you know,

1:09:49 > 1:09:52and thought that I had done...I think the aweful feeling is that

1:09:52 > 1:09:54I felt I had done something wrong.

1:09:54 > 1:09:58When I realised that I had not, actually, that this whole practice

1:09:58 > 1:09:58was very deceptive.

1:09:58 > 1:10:02We contacted Viagogo for a response but did not get a reply.

1:10:02 > 1:10:10Claire did get her money back and, from today, new guidelines could see

1:10:10 > 1:10:12secondary sellers prosecuted if they mislead consumers.

1:10:12 > 1:10:16We are saying they have got to be much more clear and upfront

1:10:16 > 1:10:22about the prices that we are paying when we buy tickets

1:10:22 > 1:10:25through their site and, in a nutshell, we are saying

1:10:25 > 1:10:32that the price that we see when we see it first imput how many

1:10:32 > 1:10:34tickets we want should be the price that we pay at the end.

1:10:34 > 1:10:38If you have already forked out fees to see Mick and the gang,

1:10:38 > 1:10:41you can appeal them and next time they're on tour,

1:10:41 > 1:10:46the ticket price you see should be what you get.

1:10:46 > 1:10:49The Chancellor Phillip Hammond will today outline his vision

1:10:49 > 1:10:55of an EU free trade deal for the financial services

1:10:55 > 1:10:56sector after Brexit.

1:10:56 > 1:10:59Mr Hammond, who wants special access to the EU's

1:10:59 > 1:11:02single market, is expected to use his speech in London to focus

1:11:02 > 1:11:06on an agreement which he says will be of mutual interest

1:11:06 > 1:11:06to both parties.

1:11:06 > 1:11:14The European Commission has previously said that a free trade

1:11:14 > 1:11:16deal including the City is not an option.

1:11:16 > 1:11:18A BBC investigation has found more than 1,500 ambulances

1:11:18 > 1:11:21were deployed to just five people last year.

1:11:21 > 1:11:22The figures show one patient in London

1:11:22 > 1:11:29dialled for an ambulance more than 3,500 times

1:11:29 > 1:11:30over 12 months.

1:11:30 > 1:11:32The NHS say frequent callers are not "time wasters",

1:11:32 > 1:11:40but people with a genuine need, although they are costing the health

1:11:40 > 1:11:48service millions of pounds each year.

1:11:53 > 1:11:59Football freestyle at John Farnsworth did a record of keeping

1:11:59 > 1:12:07copies up Mount Everest. All the time, he will be raising money for

1:12:07 > 1:12:14the Alzheimer's Society. And there he is. Returning to one of the main

1:12:14 > 1:12:19stories this morning.

1:12:19 > 1:12:22The 32 year old Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia has styled himself

1:12:22 > 1:12:25as something of a reformer in his home country -

1:12:25 > 1:12:29he's lifted a ban on women drivers and is trying to turn the economy

1:12:29 > 1:12:30away from oil.

1:12:30 > 1:12:32He's starting a three-day visit to Britain today

1:12:32 > 1:12:35having lunch with the Queen and talks with the Prime Minister.

1:12:35 > 1:12:37But he'll be met by protestors angered by Saudi's role

1:12:37 > 1:12:39in the war in Yemen.

1:12:39 > 1:12:42The conflict's been described by the UN as the world's worst man

1:12:42 > 1:12:43made humanitarian crisis.

1:12:43 > 1:12:45Journalist and Middle East Commentator Baria Alamuddin joins us

1:12:45 > 1:12:46from London

1:12:46 > 1:12:50And thank you for joining us. I know you are in the process of writing a

1:12:50 > 1:12:54book about Saudi women. Other changes going on? There have been so

1:12:54 > 1:12:58many concerns about the way women are treated.Definitely there are

1:12:58 > 1:13:07changes. I stay away from Saudi for two months and I go back. I see a

1:13:07 > 1:13:14completely different Saudi Arabia. I just came back from Saudi Arabia and

1:13:14 > 1:13:19I attended --I attended a game at the stadium and the girls were there

1:13:19 > 1:13:25next to the boys, achieving and having a great time so as far as

1:13:25 > 1:13:32women are concerned, the social attitude. The role in society is

1:13:32 > 1:13:37changing very rapidly. Almost 67% of graduates in the universities are

1:13:37 > 1:13:50wearing. I met women who were working. And women were up to 20% of

1:13:50 > 1:14:02women. 70% of the population under the age of 30 is they do like this

1:14:02 > 1:14:06Crown Prince.Your daughter is a leading human rights lawyer. There

1:14:06 > 1:14:13are very serious concerned about Saudi Arabia's human rights record.

1:14:13 > 1:14:18Are you concerned?Yes, one is always concerned at the lack of

1:14:18 > 1:14:22human rights in many areas of the world. Unfortunately, human rights

1:14:22 > 1:14:29are not improving. One is always hoping things will change. This is

1:14:29 > 1:14:37one of the main concerns. Some of the protesters today next to Downing

1:14:37 > 1:14:45Street in the Parliament, they will be protesting that. There is a lack

1:14:45 > 1:14:49of progress towards peace. Yemen is one of the poorest countries in the

1:14:49 > 1:14:55world. They see it as a necessity war. They feel encircled by Iran and

1:14:55 > 1:15:03Iran controls Lebanon and indeed controlling -- try to control Yemen,

1:15:03 > 1:15:10control Iraq, to take charge of Bahrain. They feel quite scared and

1:15:10 > 1:15:13they have received around 90 ballistic missiles. I was on the

1:15:13 > 1:15:20border with Yemen and I saw and heard the fighting. It's not a very

1:15:20 > 1:15:29clean war, it's a bad war and one is hoping for peace to arrive soon.

1:15:29 > 1:15:32Do you think in this visit the British government will be in a

1:15:32 > 1:15:36position to talk to him about how this war is being conducted, how

1:15:36 > 1:15:40these battles are being conducted? I'm sure this will be on top of the

1:15:40 > 1:15:45agenda. I think the crown Prince, along with signing about £100

1:15:45 > 1:15:49billion of deals with the government, they will be talking

1:15:49 > 1:15:56about Iran and how the government of the UK can help contain Iran in the

1:15:56 > 1:16:03area. One of them of course will be Yemen and ending the war in Yemen. I

1:16:03 > 1:16:07know for a fact of the UK government has been very active in trying to

1:16:07 > 1:16:14find solutions for that. It will be on top of the agenda. Also on top of

1:16:14 > 1:16:18the agenda will be what the UK government can do to help in various

1:16:18 > 1:16:24new ventures in Saudi Arabia, including entertainment for example.

1:16:24 > 1:16:30I had a briefing with the ambassador, how UK ambassador in

1:16:30 > 1:16:35Saudi Arabia, and indeed he was very excited about the changes in Saudi

1:16:35 > 1:16:40Arabia and also about the possibilities to be signed. This

1:16:40 > 1:16:45will be substantial for the economy of this country and at a time of

1:16:45 > 1:16:49Brexit, God knows we need it.Thank you for your time this morning on

1:16:49 > 1:16:50Breakfast.

1:16:50 > 1:16:56Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

1:16:56 > 1:17:00I've been admiring that picture all morning, beautiful this morning?

1:17:01 > 1:17:06It is, will change it for the next bulletin so we get some variety

1:17:06 > 1:17:12through the morning. The forecast today, sunshine and showers. For

1:17:12 > 1:17:15many we will see lengthy spells of sunshine and compared to yesterday

1:17:15 > 1:17:19when we had blizzards in parts of Scotland, you will really notice the

1:17:19 > 1:17:24difference. First thing this morning we have some wintryness in the

1:17:24 > 1:17:27forecast. In the north and north-west of Scotland, showery

1:17:27 > 1:17:34outbreaks mixed in with some sleet and snow. The same for Argyll and

1:17:34 > 1:17:40Bute and down to Dumfries and Galloway, showers fizzling out.

1:17:40 > 1:17:44Showers in Northern Ireland, pepping up in the west through the day, and

1:17:44 > 1:17:47scattered showers in Wales and southern England. At the moment we

1:17:47 > 1:17:52have a band of rain moving steadily away from East Anglia, taking a wee

1:17:52 > 1:17:57while before it clears. Behind that in East Anglia we will be left with

1:17:57 > 1:18:01a veil of cloud. For the rest of us, this afternoon a lot of dry weather

1:18:01 > 1:18:06and a fair bit of sunshine and compared to yesterday, what a

1:18:06 > 1:18:11difference in parts of north-east Scotland. 4-6, in the south, about

1:18:11 > 1:18:15ten, but still windy in the far north of Scotland. Through this

1:18:15 > 1:18:19evening and overnight, a quiet night to start with, dry weather around

1:18:19 > 1:18:23with the risk of ice on untreated surfaces and maybe some frost but

1:18:23 > 1:18:27then we have a line of showery rain coming in from the south-west

1:18:27 > 1:18:31pushing east. In the milder conditions in the south, that will

1:18:31 > 1:18:35be rain, but as it moves across parts of central and north Wales

1:18:35 > 1:18:38into the Midlands and potentially Lincolnshire by this time tomorrow,

1:18:38 > 1:18:42we could be looking at some snow and there's the potential for the snow

1:18:42 > 1:18:46to be destructive. The timing of it still open to question but this is

1:18:46 > 1:18:50what we think at the moment. We continue with showers further north

1:18:50 > 1:18:54and temperatures again mostly in towns and cities above freezing, but

1:18:54 > 1:18:58lower of course in the countryside. Tomorrow we could start with the

1:18:58 > 1:19:02snow in Lincolnshire but it moves away through the morning, leaving a

1:19:02 > 1:19:07largely dry date again with a lot of sunshine. Our low pressure area

1:19:07 > 1:19:11centred across north-west Scotland will throw in showers across western

1:19:11 > 1:19:16Scotland and the Outer Hebrides at times. Temperature wise, five or six

1:19:16 > 1:19:21in the north, maybe ten further south. As we move into Friday

1:19:21 > 1:19:25morning, a chilly start with the risk of ice here and there. A lot of

1:19:25 > 1:19:28dry weather with sunshine around and then low pressure comes along and

1:19:28 > 1:19:32spoils it in the south. This low pressure will bring in more rain,

1:19:32 > 1:19:37which could be heavy. It will bring windy conditions and milder air. You

1:19:37 > 1:19:43can see we have ten and 11 in the south, and as this band of rain

1:19:43 > 1:19:46moves north, we will see the temperature rising a bit but it

1:19:46 > 1:19:49won't get into the far north of Scotland through the weekend.

1:19:51 > 1:19:55Thanks, Carol, I look forward to a new picture in about half an hour.I

1:19:55 > 1:19:59had better get my skates on!Good luck with your skating!

1:19:59 > 1:20:08Looking at the papers. 1-storey dominating here. Terror police take

1:20:08 > 1:20:12over spy poison case in the Guardian and this is a picture on the front

1:20:12 > 1:20:19page of many of the newspapers, Yulia on the front pages, they were

1:20:19 > 1:20:26found on a bench in Salisbury with her father, Sergei Skripal. Boris

1:20:26 > 1:20:32Johnson and the threat to boycott World Cup. Acclaim he ordered

1:20:32 > 1:20:38poisoning of a Russian double agent. The front pages are all the same.

1:20:38 > 1:20:43MI5 believes Russians tried to kill former spy and it's the front page

1:20:43 > 1:20:47of the Daily Telegraph as well. Also making the papers this morning is

1:20:47 > 1:20:55Bill Turnbull. He revealed yesterday that he has been diagnosed with

1:20:55 > 1:21:02prostate cancer and he's been talking about the amazing amount of

1:21:02 > 1:21:06messages Breakfast viewers have been sending him.We were overwhelmed by

1:21:06 > 1:21:13the number of messages.He was involved in the programme Stand Up

1:21:13 > 1:21:17to Cancer on Channel 4. He

1:21:19 > 1:21:24thank you so much to everyone who has been in touch. It means an awful

1:21:24 > 1:21:29lot. If you weren't watching yesterday, he is really positive.He

1:21:29 > 1:21:34sounded incredibly upbeat. He is a big softy.The important message, as

1:21:34 > 1:21:38he has been talking about, get yourself checked.If you have

1:21:38 > 1:21:42worrying symptoms then go and get checked.Good to see him in the

1:21:42 > 1:21:47papers today. Just seeing him back again it has brought a smile to many

1:21:47 > 1:21:53people's faces.We are still in touch, as you note.If you wind the

1:21:53 > 1:21:57lottery, they are in a syndicate together, so if you tune in on

1:21:57 > 1:22:04Monday and she is disappeared then you know why -- as you know.Lovett!

1:22:04 > 1:22:07-- love it!

1:22:07 > 1:22:10Almost a year ago, the life of police officer Kris Aves changed

1:22:10 > 1:22:12forever when he was injured

1:22:12 > 1:22:13in the terror attack on Westminster Bridge.

1:22:13 > 1:22:16He was left paralysed in a wheelchair and no longer able

1:22:16 > 1:22:18to live at home with his family.

1:22:18 > 1:22:21But then, a call to help by the DIY SOS team

1:22:21 > 1:22:23was met with the biggest reponse for volunteers

1:22:23 > 1:22:25in the show's history.

1:22:25 > 1:22:28Daniella Relph has the story.

1:22:28 > 1:22:33Thursday, the 23rd of March. The morning after the Westminster Bridge

1:22:33 > 1:22:38attack.Five people died and 40 people were injured, some of them

1:22:38 > 1:22:44suffering what has been described as codgers traffic injuries.One of

1:22:44 > 1:22:47those with catastrophic injuries was Metropolitan Police constable Kris

1:22:47 > 1:22:51Aves. Critically injured as he walked across the bridge. For much

1:22:51 > 1:22:55of the past year he's been in Stoke Mandeville hospital. He dislocated

1:22:55 > 1:22:59this vertebrae, damaged this spinal-cord and is now in a

1:22:59 > 1:23:03wheelchair. But what he wanted more than anything was to get home to

1:23:03 > 1:23:08this partner and two young children. It makes me sad when I think

1:23:08 > 1:23:13forward. To go swimming, I don't know how I'm going to be in a pool

1:23:13 > 1:23:18in a fun session with them. I won't be able to stand up and kick a

1:23:18 > 1:23:25football with them. I kind of just, feel, you know, it's been taken away

1:23:25 > 1:23:33from you and it's not fair.The kids ask a lot of questions about stuff,

1:23:33 > 1:23:37why did daddy get hit, was he not looking when he crossed the road,

1:23:37 > 1:23:42things like that, it's quite hard to answer.At the end of last year the

1:23:42 > 1:23:48DIY SOS team stepped in. This is DIY SOS!

1:23:48 > 1:23:53They took the family's north London home and transformed it. They asked

1:23:53 > 1:23:57volunteers to help. The programme had never had such an enormous

1:23:57 > 1:24:01response.Sometimes we look at the police and the people that go out in

1:24:01 > 1:24:05the emergency services and do what they do for us but when you get

1:24:05 > 1:24:08behind every person there is a family, they're not just uniforms,

1:24:08 > 1:24:12their families are affected too and what happened to Kris had a massive

1:24:12 > 1:24:16effect on the family.We had exclusive access to the build and

1:24:16 > 1:24:21the team's work. Doorways were widened, allowing access for Kris's

1:24:21 > 1:24:26wheelchair. In the kitchen surfaces were lowered and space made to cook.

1:24:26 > 1:24:32A lift was built, the first of its kind in a family home so Kris can

1:24:32 > 1:24:35move between floors. In the garden, a complete redesign.

1:24:35 > 1:24:39All to ensure that there is space to play with his son and daughter.

1:24:39 > 1:24:43This entire project has been about creating a family home, a place

1:24:43 > 1:24:48where everyone can be involved and live properly together again.

1:24:48 > 1:24:53The whole build took nine days to complete, and depended totally on

1:24:53 > 1:24:58the generosity of others.Its everyday there is just ten, ten, 20

1:24:58 > 1:25:03people, do you need a hand, do you need a toilet, do you need a

1:25:03 > 1:25:09decorator?And every day we get cake delivered.Cake is crucial.That's

1:25:09 > 1:25:15how it works, cake and teas.Tonight the programme will reveal what Kris

1:25:15 > 1:25:19Aves made of his new home and the impact of one family whose life was

1:25:19 > 1:25:24so changed by evidence of almost a year ago. Daniela Relph, BBC

1:25:24 > 1:25:29News, North London. You are a big fan of that programme, aren't you?

1:25:29 > 1:25:30I've got my tissues ready for tonight.

1:25:30 > 1:25:34You can see what the finished product looks like on DIY SOS,

1:25:34 > 1:25:42tonight at 8pm on BBC One.

1:25:44 > 1:25:47We are talking about secondary ticket websites today. So many

1:25:47 > 1:25:51people getting in touch who have either been bruised or seen the cost

1:25:51 > 1:25:55of tickets and not gone for it. Sharon says, I've not paid over the

1:25:55 > 1:25:58odds but I've gone online to buy them as soon as they become

1:25:58 > 1:26:02available and a triple the price on a Recital website immediately. Some

1:26:02 > 1:26:07of them are owned by Ticketmaster and the like -- resale website. Then

1:26:07 > 1:26:11you go and they are sold out on Ticketmaster and you go to the

1:26:11 > 1:26:14secondary sites owned by Ticketmaster and they are available

1:26:14 > 1:26:18but at an increased price. Sandra said I was lucky to get £50 tickets

1:26:18 > 1:26:24for a show, their last ever, sold out in 20 minutes, lots of fans

1:26:24 > 1:26:27missed out because they went straight on the Ticketmaster resale

1:26:27 > 1:26:31website straight after four far higher.You sit there and you wait

1:26:31 > 1:26:35for the site to go live and the tickets are gone within two or three

1:26:35 > 1:26:41minutes and you are left with no Auldana give.-- no alternative. One

1:26:41 > 1:26:48other story, doggy speak. Can you do it?I can't do it unless they are

1:26:48 > 1:26:53here.Is it high-pitched or low? Probably high-pitched.Do you go

1:26:53 > 1:27:00low?We go high as well but our guy was fixing the cook the other day,

1:27:00 > 1:27:04not a dog owner, and myself and the children were doing the dog speak

1:27:04 > 1:27:10and he looked at us like we were absolutely mad -- the cooker.It

1:27:10 > 1:27:15turns out you're not.If you talk to your dog in Doggies speak then they

1:27:15 > 1:27:19love it. They might look at you stranger on

1:27:19 > 1:27:23occasion but it boosts the bond -- doggy speak.

1:27:23 > 1:30:42Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

1:30:42 > 1:30:45I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

1:30:45 > 1:30:46in half an hour.

1:30:46 > 1:30:48Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

1:30:48 > 1:30:49Bye for now.

1:30:53 > 1:30:56Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin

1:30:56 > 1:31:00Here's a summary of this morning's main stories from BBC News.

1:31:00 > 1:31:03The Home Secretary will chair an emergency meeting

1:31:03 > 1:31:05of the Government's COBRA committee this morning to discuss

1:31:05 > 1:31:08the suspected poisoning of a former Russian agent and his daughter.

1:31:08 > 1:31:11Sergei and Yulia Skripal are still in a critical condition

1:31:11 > 1:31:13after being found unconscious on Sunday in Salisbury.

1:31:13 > 1:31:17Counter-terrorism police have now taken over the investigation.

1:31:17 > 1:31:22Russia has denied any involvement.

1:31:22 > 1:31:24Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince, Mohammed Bin Salman,

1:31:24 > 1:31:32is beginning a three-day visit to Britain.

1:31:35 > 1:31:37He'll have lunch with the Queen and hold talks

1:31:37 > 1:31:38with the Prime Minister.

1:31:38 > 1:31:41The Government regards Saudi Arabia as an important strategic ally

1:31:41 > 1:31:43but protest marches are planned by campaign groups angered

1:31:43 > 1:31:46by the war in Yemen, where the Kingdom is fighting rebels.

1:31:46 > 1:31:48Action's being taken against so-called "secondary

1:31:48 > 1:31:50ticketing" companies over what's being described as "misleading

1:31:50 > 1:31:58pricing information" on their websites.

1:31:58 > 1:32:00The sites resell tickets for sold-out shows

1:32:00 > 1:32:03but the Advertising Standards Agency says they have hidden charges

1:32:03 > 1:32:05and sometimes don't even guarantee entry to the gigs.

1:32:05 > 1:32:07It follows an investigation by Trading Standards

1:32:07 > 1:32:09and The Competition and Markets Authority.

1:32:09 > 1:32:11The Chancellor Phillip Hammond will today outline his vision

1:32:11 > 1:32:19of an EU free trade deal for the financial services

1:32:24 > 1:32:24sector after Brexit.

1:32:24 > 1:32:27Mr Hammond, who wants special access to the EU's

1:32:27 > 1:32:30single market, is expected to use his speech in London to focus

1:32:30 > 1:32:33on an agreement which he says will be of mutual interest

1:32:33 > 1:32:34to both parties.

1:32:34 > 1:32:37The European Commission has previously said that a free trade

1:32:37 > 1:32:39deal including the City is not an option.

1:32:39 > 1:32:42The top economic adviser to the White House, Gary Cohn,

1:32:42 > 1:32:44has announced his resignation - after failing to persuade

1:32:44 > 1:32:46President Trump not to impose significant tariffs on imports

1:32:46 > 1:32:49of steel and aluminium.

1:32:49 > 1:32:51Mr Cohn was regarded by many business leaders

1:32:51 > 1:32:53as a moderating influence in the administration.He's

1:32:53 > 1:32:57the latest in a long line of people who've left the White House.

1:32:57 > 1:32:59Craft brewing company Brewdog is being criticised after unveiling

1:32:59 > 1:33:02a new drink, in pink packaging, which they're calling a 'beer

1:33:02 > 1:33:06for girls'.

1:33:06 > 1:33:09The company says it's a satirical dig at lazy

1:33:09 > 1:33:09marketing and stereotypes.

1:33:09 > 1:33:15The beer will cost less for women than men and proceeds will go

1:33:15 > 1:33:16towards tackling gender inequality.

1:33:16 > 1:33:20But some people on social media have described

1:33:20 > 1:33:22the campaign as "off the mark".

1:33:22 > 1:33:25Last week, an image of 2-year-old Parker Curry staring in awe

1:33:25 > 1:33:27at Michelle Obama's official portrait went viral.

1:33:27 > 1:33:29Parker's mum revealed that her little girl didn't know

1:33:29 > 1:33:32who the former First Lady was - she thought she was looking

1:33:32 > 1:33:40at a queen.

1:33:42 > 1:33:44Michelle Obama was so touched by this,

1:33:44 > 1:33:52that she invited Parker over this week, for what ended up being a very

1:33:52 > 1:34:00lovely dance party.

1:34:02 > 1:34:07So, not the weather, the sport. I got up to early today. We can switch

1:34:07 > 1:34:15it up if you fancy.I'm ten minutes ahead of everything you see. This is

1:34:15 > 1:34:20a key to it, isn't it?He has had a copy ten minutes early. Greetings

1:34:20 > 1:34:32earlier. It's only 7:34 a.m.. Talking about Jurgen Klopp. They

1:34:32 > 1:34:37would have had a bit of a party. He says they are back when they are

1:34:37 > 1:34:41very long. It's hard to disagree because of the rich history that

1:34:41 > 1:34:48Liverpool had bitten more recent years,, this is what it has been

1:34:48 > 1:34:56bought in to do. They put another one ahead of them. One of five

1:34:56 > 1:35:02British teams contesting the last part of the Champions League.

1:35:02 > 1:35:05They could afford to take it easy against Porto last night.

1:35:05 > 1:35:08Sadio Mane came closest to scoring, but his effort hit the post,

1:35:08 > 1:35:11nil-nil enough to see them through after that huge scoreline

1:35:11 > 1:35:17from teh first leg.

1:35:17 > 1:35:20I think this year will be longer, to be honest.

1:35:20 > 1:35:21It should not a big surprise.

1:35:21 > 1:35:29In the next round will be very difficult.

1:35:29 > 1:35:31I think that's clear.

1:35:31 > 1:35:35We have a lot of good teams, seven of the very good teams will be

1:35:35 > 1:35:38then involved so maybe five of them, for them I learned from England.

1:35:38 > 1:35:41Let's make it easier, to be honest.

1:35:41 > 1:35:44But I think we will have a chance, for sure, to go to the semis then

1:35:44 > 1:35:48and that is of course to tie.

1:35:48 > 1:35:55Can Tottenham join them there, it's locked at two all with the Italian

1:35:55 > 1:36:03champions Juventus heading into tonight's second leg.

1:36:06 > 1:36:09Look at the scene in France as Paris Saint Germain supporters

1:36:09 > 1:36:13let off flares in the stadium as they lost to Real Madrid.

1:36:13 > 1:36:15Perhaps no wonder their keeper failed to stop Cristiano Ronaldo's

1:36:15 > 1:36:18header as smoke flooded the field, as the holders go through.

1:36:18 > 1:36:22Can Tottenham join them there, it's locked at two all with the Italian

1:36:22 > 1:36:24champions Juventus heading into tonight's second leg.

1:36:24 > 1:36:26By the looks of it Mauricio Pochettino's been

1:36:26 > 1:36:27doing his homework.

1:36:27 > 1:36:30Looking very studious in training, with Tottenham hoping to reach

1:36:30 > 1:36:33the quarter finals for the second time in their history.

1:36:33 > 1:36:37England's women only need a point from their match against USA tonight

1:36:37 > 1:36:38to win the She Believes Cup.

1:36:38 > 1:36:41The tournament features some of the top sides in the world

1:36:41 > 1:36:44and England have already beaten France and drawn with Germany.

1:36:44 > 1:36:47But the Americans are the highest ranked team in the world,

1:36:47 > 1:36:49toughest test yet for new boss Phil Neville.

1:36:49 > 1:36:54I see this game as a little bit of, not where we can just go for it

1:36:54 > 1:36:57really, in a way, and gamble and risk, because you need to find

1:36:57 > 1:36:59out about your players in the biggest game.

1:36:59 > 1:37:04This could be a World Cup final in 12 months' time and I want to see

1:37:04 > 1:37:07whether we can play this 12 months' time in the biggest occasions

1:37:07 > 1:37:15and I'm going to test my players even more.

1:37:15 > 1:37:19We had to shave this. At long last, the youngest child in bother will

1:37:19 > 1:37:33have a chance to represent England. Amazing. At 71, he is going to get a

1:37:33 > 1:37:40chance.Mike has championed walking football on Breakfast. Amazing

1:37:40 > 1:37:45stuff.

1:37:47 > 1:37:49England's cricketers had few problems seeing off Australia

1:37:49 > 1:37:53in a one day series earlier this year but they're finding New Zeakand

1:37:53 > 1:37:54a much tougher proposition.

1:37:54 > 1:37:54-- Zealand.

1:37:54 > 1:37:58The hosts have levelled the seresi at 2-all with one to play

1:37:58 > 1:38:00with England posted 334 thaks to centuries from Jonny Bairstow

1:38:00 > 1:38:07and Joe Root but the Black Caps chased down the total.

1:38:07 > 1:38:08Now, any idea who this is?

1:38:08 > 1:38:11A famous British athlete, who has been turned into a Barbie

1:38:11 > 1:38:19doll to mark International Women's Day tomorrow.

1:38:20 > 1:38:28Nicola Adams, the first UK athlete to form part of the 'Shero' range.

1:38:28 > 1:38:31It's all about inspiring young women, and breaking the mould

1:38:31 > 1:38:37of what typical Barbies looked like.

1:38:37 > 1:38:40Nicola is the first UK star to join Barbie's 'Shero' range,

1:38:40 > 1:38:42which is designed to honour inspiring women.

1:38:42 > 1:38:45The majority of women who suffer from domestic violence aren't

1:38:45 > 1:38:48reporting the abuse to the police, according to a new survey.

1:38:48 > 1:38:49The research, which was carried out

1:38:49 > 1:38:53by Women's Aid, shows that just under half of women in its refuges

1:38:53 > 1:38:54make an official report.

1:38:54 > 1:38:57Domestic abuse, which can affect both men and women,

1:38:57 > 1:38:59comes in many forms including harassment and assault.

1:38:59 > 1:39:07This is Emma, who shared her story with us.

1:39:09 > 1:39:11Sometimes a lot of the violence was towards the children,

1:39:11 > 1:39:13and it was me stepping in the way.

1:39:13 > 1:39:15That's how it would turn onto me.

1:39:15 > 1:39:23But, yeah, I feel a lot of regret.

1:39:24 > 1:39:28A lot of regret.

1:39:28 > 1:39:32At the end of the day it is still the children's that

1:39:32 > 1:39:35and I would have to live with the fact that if he got

1:39:35 > 1:39:38arrested and sent to prison, that's taking the children's dad

1:39:38 > 1:39:46away from them.

1:39:46 > 1:39:54That was Emma, not her real name. Joining us now as deputy chief

1:39:54 > 1:40:06constable Louisa Rolf and the CEO of Women's Aid,, Katie Ghose. There are

1:40:06 > 1:40:10stats showing the number of victims reporting domestic abuse is dropping

1:40:10 > 1:40:15by police recording the highest ever number domestic abuse incidents. How

1:40:15 > 1:40:21can we square what seems to be statistically things that do not

1:40:21 > 1:40:29agree with each other.The figures do add up.

1:40:29 > 1:40:40do add up. The crime survey there are many victims are reluctant to

1:40:40 > 1:40:44report to police and my understanding is that many of those

1:40:44 > 1:40:48who seek the support of charities won't necessarily always come to

1:40:48 > 1:40:54police and the work those charities. Let's talk about some of the reasons

1:40:54 > 1:40:58why people that you have spoken to seem to be reluctant to report these

1:40:58 > 1:41:04kind of crimes.Let's think first of all about how domestic abuse can be

1:41:04 > 1:41:15hidden behind closed doors.

1:41:18 > 1:41:22This incredible life-saving work that our network is providing, as

1:41:22 > 1:41:27Louise said, it helps to give that confidence and strength so women can

1:41:27 > 1:41:31go to the police and go through the criminal justice system which can be

1:41:31 > 1:41:38quite traumatic if that is the right thing.Why has it gone down then? Is

1:41:38 > 1:41:44it the reasons people are saying we are not reporting it?It's really

1:41:44 > 1:41:48important we are not comparing apples and pears. Sometimes the will

1:41:48 > 1:41:52be talking about incidents of domestic abuse and we'll be talking

1:41:52 > 1:41:59about victims coming forward. What I think the police and Louisa Rolf and

1:41:59 > 1:42:02others would agree on is that the police are making significant

1:42:02 > 1:42:07progress but this is a jigsaw puzzle. Doing the right thing for

1:42:07 > 1:42:11survivors of domestic abuse, they need those local specialist

1:42:11 > 1:42:16services. We need all of that to be protected and that's why we are

1:42:16 > 1:42:20calling on the to think again about some very risky changes to the

1:42:20 > 1:42:24funding of that network of services and that they are better every

1:42:24 > 1:42:30survivor of domestic abuse who needs them.Domestic abuse affects men and

1:42:30 > 1:42:36women. The way we deal with it, if such a difficult thing to even

1:42:36 > 1:42:41report this kind of crime and four police officers like you, try to

1:42:41 > 1:42:49deal with it. Arrest may not be the answer.Domestic abuse is a complex

1:42:49 > 1:42:57crime. Victims talk about what is right for them and their family. We

1:42:57 > 1:43:02should be bringing offenders to justice and keeping victims safe. We

1:43:02 > 1:43:06know that simplistic solutions alone don't work the victims and they will

1:43:06 > 1:43:10often need the right support, from charities, and they will be

1:43:10 > 1:43:12concerned about their children and families, finances, housing,

1:43:12 > 1:43:18whatever support they can have said this need a joined up approach and

1:43:18 > 1:43:22in the police, we wouldn't imagine we can deal with this alone. We work

1:43:22 > 1:43:26hard to deliver -- to develop partnerships with charities and give

1:43:26 > 1:43:31them confidence.What Louise is saying about overly simplistic

1:43:31 > 1:43:37answers, that he could change one thing, what would it be?We need to

1:43:37 > 1:43:40see a guaranteed future for the local network of services that are

1:43:40 > 1:43:45that helping hand. They have been providing everything from

1:43:45 > 1:43:50counselling to children's workers. We need a secure future survey can

1:43:50 > 1:43:55help the police do their job as well. Some people might say, in

1:43:55 > 1:44:05different places,, they might get a different response.

1:44:05 > 1:44:08different response.We work with every police force across England

1:44:08 > 1:44:15and Wales and are working hard to ensure that we do our best to

1:44:15 > 1:44:22support them.

1:44:22 > 1:44:25support them.In terms of reasons why, is to do a deeper family

1:44:25 > 1:44:30issues?

1:44:30 > 1:44:34It's all kinds of reasons, fear of having your children taken away if

1:44:34 > 1:44:39you come forward.Which is understandable, isn't it? It is, and

1:44:39 > 1:44:43sadly that is well founded, the women can be the target and the one

1:44:43 > 1:44:48blamed for the behaviour rather than the man doing the abuse and control.

1:44:48 > 1:44:50A well founded fear from the perpetrator.

1:44:50 > 1:44:54The reason we have this incredible network of life-saving refuges is

1:44:54 > 1:44:59because women are fleeing for their lives, they have nothing but the

1:44:59 > 1:45:03clothes on their back because of the danger they are in so it's complex

1:45:03 > 1:45:08and it's important that help is there for every survivor.We have

1:45:08 > 1:45:12got a government response. As part of our ongoing work with victims'

1:45:12 > 1:45:16groups we will be launching a consultation on our draft domestic

1:45:16 > 1:45:20abuse bill to transform how we respond to domestic abuse to provide

1:45:20 > 1:45:24better protection and support for victims and bring more perpetrators

1:45:24 > 1:45:28to justice.Thank you very much for your time, good to talk to you about

1:45:28 > 1:45:29this issue.

1:45:29 > 1:45:33You were saying earlier Carol was going to do the sport.I don't think

1:45:33 > 1:45:39she is. That face!Good morning. A bit early!

1:45:39 > 1:45:44Good morning. Thank the Lord I'm not doing the sport, that would be a

1:45:44 > 1:45:48disaster! Mixed fortunes this morning, Weather Watchers pictures

1:45:48 > 1:45:53show that nicely, mist and fog first thing, beautiful picture from

1:45:53 > 1:45:56Herefordshire this morning and another cracker, look at that

1:45:56 > 1:46:04Sunrise from North Tyneside! Today's forecast essentially is sunshine and

1:46:04 > 1:46:07showers, some showers wintry, especially in the north, and

1:46:07 > 1:46:10especially over high ground but saying that, Shetland not out of the

1:46:10 > 1:46:15woods just yet in terms of seeing that snow at lower levels. In the

1:46:15 > 1:46:20north of Scotland, rather windy. Showers stretching from Argyll and

1:46:20 > 1:46:24Bute to Dumfries and Galloway, wintry on the hills, they will fade,

1:46:24 > 1:46:28and showers in Northern Ireland, tapping up later in the afternoon in

1:46:28 > 1:46:33the west. Showery outbreaks we have currently crossing the south-eastern

1:46:33 > 1:46:37quarter of the UK moving away, leaving a fair bit of cloud in its

1:46:37 > 1:46:41wake. In East Anglia. We have a peppering of showers in parts of

1:46:41 > 1:46:46Wales and south-west England. Away from all of these areas, look at the

1:46:46 > 1:46:50forecast, it is dry and there will be quite a bit of sunshine today.

1:46:50 > 1:46:54Quite a difference in Scotland compared to the weather some parts

1:46:54 > 1:47:01had yesterday when we had a lot of snow and it was blowing with

1:47:01 > 1:47:05blizzards. Overnight there will be dry weather around and showers. Then

1:47:05 > 1:47:09we have this system from the south-west introducing rain, it is

1:47:09 > 1:47:14pushing over to the east. In the south of the country, where we have

1:47:14 > 1:47:17that, it will be rain but as it moves across central and northern

1:47:17 > 1:47:21parts of Wales, parts of the Midlands and possibly Lincolnshire,

1:47:21 > 1:47:26we see some snow falling from that and even at lower levels with the

1:47:26 > 1:47:29potential at this stage to be disruptive. Possibly Lincolnshire

1:47:29 > 1:47:35because it depends on the timing, if it moves faster it will be

1:47:35 > 1:47:39Lincolnshire, if it moves slower, it be at this stage. Through tomorrow

1:47:39 > 1:47:44morning, that will continue to drift towards the Wash, clearing

1:47:44 > 1:47:47eventually into the North Sea. Tomorrow there will be wintry

1:47:47 > 1:47:51showers dotted around parts of Scotland. Nothing too heavy,

1:47:51 > 1:47:55fizzling out through the day after an icy start and then again we see a

1:47:55 > 1:48:00lot of dry weather. Low pressure close to the north of Scotland and

1:48:00 > 1:48:03everything rotates anticlockwise around it, including the showers.

1:48:03 > 1:48:07You can see them coming across western Scotland and also the Outer

1:48:07 > 1:48:12Hebrides. Six or seven in the north, nine or ten as we go further south.

1:48:12 > 1:48:16Moving into Friday, we have snow showers in Scotland to start the

1:48:16 > 1:48:21day. They will said, a lot of dry weather and a fair bit of sunshine,

1:48:21 > 1:48:26then low pressure comes in and spoils it. It brings in wet and

1:48:26 > 1:48:30windy weather and heavy rain from the south-west, pushing slowly

1:48:30 > 1:48:35north-east, a comfort, accompanied by windy conditions but milder air

1:48:35 > 1:48:42following on. That's all heading north as we go through the weekend.

1:48:42 > 1:48:49Downland loop, that is your sport! We won't make you do the sport, we

1:48:49 > 1:48:50promised -- Dan and Lou.

1:48:50 > 1:48:53Steph's here.

1:48:53 > 1:48:55And the government is planning to tighten up security on so-called

1:48:55 > 1:48:56And the government is planning to tighten up security on so-called

1:48:56 > 1:48:56smart devices.

1:48:56 > 1:49:01All the things you have connected to the Internet so let me tell you a

1:49:01 > 1:49:01bit about it.

1:49:01 > 1:49:04Over the last few years, more and more everyday devices have

1:49:04 > 1:49:07become connected to the internet or other devices in our house

1:49:07 > 1:49:08in some way.

1:49:08 > 1:49:10Things like fridges, security cameras, watches,

1:49:10 > 1:49:12baby monitors, music speakers and even kids' toys.

1:49:12 > 1:49:15According to the government, every household in the UK owns

1:49:15 > 1:49:16at least ten internet connected devices.

1:49:16 > 1:49:18And that number is rising quickly.

1:49:18 > 1:49:21It's expected to hit 15 in the next two years.

1:49:21 > 1:49:22But are they safe?

1:49:22 > 1:49:24The government says hackers are increasingly trying to get

1:49:24 > 1:49:26into these devices and it wants to bring

1:49:26 > 1:49:34in new measures to boost their security.

1:49:34 > 1:49:34Emily Orton is from

1:49:34 > 1:49:40the cybersecurity company Darktrace.

1:49:40 > 1:49:46Good morning, Emily. What are the hackers wanting from our devices?We

1:49:46 > 1:49:50are now seeing hackers take a variety of different pieces of

1:49:50 > 1:49:55information, mostly it is in the company corporate space at the

1:49:55 > 1:50:01moment. For example, we have seen a fish tank used as a way to take out

1:50:01 > 1:50:05sensitive corporate day from an organisation.What can you get from

1:50:05 > 1:50:09a fish tank?The attackers will use that device as an entry point to get

1:50:09 > 1:50:13to other devices that may have information that is interesting to

1:50:13 > 1:50:19them, perhaps valuable to them. So you might think, why would anyone

1:50:19 > 1:50:24want to hack my fitness tracking device or my baby monitor? They

1:50:24 > 1:50:28might be used as gateways to more interesting things. If you think

1:50:28 > 1:50:32about all the devices you bring into work now, if you're looking at a

1:50:32 > 1:50:36fitness device that's coming into the office with you, it is

1:50:36 > 1:50:40connecting to corporate Wi-Fi, you've got to think about where

1:50:40 > 1:50:44those things are travelling and what steppingstones they might act as to

1:50:44 > 1:50:50get other information.What can be done to try and prevent it?At the

1:50:50 > 1:50:53moment we have a situation where it's almost like going out of your

1:50:53 > 1:50:57house and not locking the door. We have all these devices but they

1:50:57 > 1:51:03don't have great security. The measures announced today should help

1:51:03 > 1:51:07that, and that's about bringing some basic protocols in and consumers

1:51:07 > 1:51:13will get a better understanding of basic good hygiene in terms of a

1:51:13 > 1:51:18standard that should be expected.A bit like hygiene in terms of washing

1:51:18 > 1:51:22your hands before you leave the house, it's not a perfect solution

1:51:22 > 1:51:28either.We're looking at on the one hand locking the door after we leave

1:51:28 > 1:51:33the house and making sure we do the basics, but also looking at new

1:51:33 > 1:51:37technologies to find the more sophisticated attackers.What would

1:51:37 > 1:51:40your examples be of those basic hygiene things you could do?If

1:51:40 > 1:51:44you're a consumer and you're worried about this, think about your

1:51:44 > 1:51:50passwords, think about the passwords you use for e-mail accounts, those

1:51:50 > 1:51:53are the most important accounts you can have because it's a gateway to a

1:51:53 > 1:51:57lot of your services. If you're sitting at home and you have the

1:51:57 > 1:52:02same password for your e-mail as your home delivery service or

1:52:02 > 1:52:08another app, that's the first thing to change. Secondly, keep up to date

1:52:08 > 1:52:12with updates from the software services you use. We love

1:52:12 > 1:52:15technology, we love the updates, we're constantly wanting these new

1:52:15 > 1:52:21features and products but we need to make sure we are looking at the

1:52:21 > 1:52:23standards from the manufacturers and updating the software.Fascinating,

1:52:23 > 1:52:27who knew a fish tank would be so dangerous! Emily, thanks for your

1:52:27 > 1:52:33time.That was fascinating and slightly scary. Thanks very much

1:52:33 > 1:52:37indeed.Going for Enemy of the State with Gene Hackman where he doesn't

1:52:37 > 1:52:43even look up.Is that what you're going to do?I think I might do.

1:52:43 > 1:52:50Now, have a listen to this.

1:52:50 > 1:52:55That is of course Ed Sheeran, who is one of a number of high profile

1:52:55 > 1:52:58artists campaigning against secondary ticket sites.

1:52:58 > 1:53:02The advertising watchdog has announced a crackdown on companies

1:53:02 > 1:53:05selling tickets at inflated prices, saying they need to be more

1:53:05 > 1:53:09transparent when it comes to hidden charges. We've had a huge response

1:53:09 > 1:53:11from you this morning.

1:53:11 > 1:53:13Adam Webb is from the FanFair Alliance, which has support

1:53:13 > 1:53:15from the likes of Ed Sheeran.

1:53:15 > 1:53:17We're also joined by the singer Rowetta Satchell.

1:53:17 > 1:53:22Thanks for coming on both of you. Adam, can we come to you first, I

1:53:22 > 1:53:26know many people this morning are watching this and voicing their

1:53:26 > 1:53:30concerns of their own experiences, but some may not know how the

1:53:30 > 1:53:36secondary selling sites work, can you explain?That's one of the

1:53:36 > 1:53:39challenges in this whole market, it's become incredibly confusing

1:53:39 > 1:53:44because of the activities of these websites for people to find out who

1:53:44 > 1:53:49the authorised sellers are. What these platforms do, via Gomes is

1:53:49 > 1:53:54probably the most prominent one, they allow people to buy and sell

1:53:54 > 1:54:01tickets. -- vivagogo. Huge volumes of tickets get these sites before

1:54:01 > 1:54:07events go on sale, just after and they are marketed heavily on Google

1:54:07 > 1:54:11in particular so people get diverted to the sites and end up paying

1:54:11 > 1:54:15considerably over the price the artist intended.So many people have

1:54:15 > 1:54:19got in touch who have done that. We've tried to talk to Viagogo and

1:54:19 > 1:54:23repeatedly asked them for a statement but they have declined to

1:54:23 > 1:54:30respond. Rowetta, you are from the Happy Mondays, you are a fan and an

1:54:30 > 1:54:34artist, how is this affecting things?Many times tickets go on

1:54:34 > 1:54:39sale at nine a on a Friday, if you work normal hours, you've got no

1:54:39 > 1:54:44chance... You can't sit in a queue for an hour and get the tickets and

1:54:44 > 1:54:47later in the day they are sold out when you go home and these are

1:54:47 > 1:54:51secondary websites have loads on sale at extortionate prices quite

1:54:51 > 1:54:57often and then there are delivery and booking fees. Just as you press

1:54:57 > 1:55:02play it appears an extra amount and everyone feels ripped off. -- pay.

1:55:02 > 1:55:06It's unfair loyal fans can't come to the concerts because of this. Some

1:55:06 > 1:55:12people are doing stuff about it, the Charlatans, our friends, they are

1:55:12 > 1:55:18doing something, they have a system with a phone code. In Glastonbury if

1:55:18 > 1:55:22you could climb over a fence you could get in, now they have photo ID

1:55:22 > 1:55:26and they are making it more difficult. It should be a criminal

1:55:26 > 1:55:30offence. They are ripping people off and being greedy, it is awful.Ed

1:55:30 > 1:55:36Sheeran once four types of ID.That is too many because my sun wouldn't

1:55:36 > 1:55:41have four to get into a gig. I think it will make people suffer who

1:55:41 > 1:55:45haven't got as much muggy because you're paying for a passport,

1:55:45 > 1:55:49driving licence and all the things you need... I know why he is doing

1:55:49 > 1:55:54it but I don't want him to punish the working people who are loyal

1:55:54 > 1:55:58fans.Ticketmaster say they work on making things transparent. Ticket

1:55:58 > 1:56:04resale sites say they inform fans what they will play at every stage

1:56:04 > 1:56:08of the process. Rowetta, you said there are quite high handling fees.

1:56:08 > 1:56:18Many people have said

1:56:18 > 1:56:21Many people have said today, Getmein and Seatwave are owned by

1:56:21 > 1:56:24Ticketmaster, they sell out immediately at 9am, then they are

1:56:24 > 1:56:29instantly available on the secondary sites, owned by the same people

1:56:29 > 1:56:33officially selling the tickets. Massively problematic and hugely

1:56:33 > 1:56:38confusing and the people listing these tickets, they are marketed as

1:56:38 > 1:56:42fan to fan websites on the whole, but from the evidence we see the

1:56:42 > 1:56:48bulk of people reselling tickets are dedicated businesses. Not of a very

1:56:48 > 1:56:53high calibre as well.Rowetta, briefly, have you seen concerts that

1:56:53 > 1:56:57are sold out but then people aren't there?There are empty seats at some

1:56:57 > 1:57:03of these concerts. Quite often people don't meet them, or they try

1:57:03 > 1:57:06and complain about how much they paid and they try to get their money

1:57:06 > 1:57:11back and they lose out on hotel fees and travel costs. I have seen seats

1:57:11 > 1:57:14where it is meant to be sold out. The system doesn't work and it

1:57:14 > 1:57:19should be a criminal offence. There's a reason they haven't

1:57:19 > 1:57:24replied today, they don't reply to the customers either.Adam and

1:57:24 > 1:57:30Rowetta, thanks very much indeed. We did contact Viagogo but nothing yet.

1:57:30 > 1:57:35Don't purchase from them. Pete says time to reopen ticket offices and

1:57:35 > 1:57:40venues and put an end to the extortion. Tracy said if you don't

1:57:40 > 1:57:44want to pay the fees, don't buy the tickets. But people are desperate to

1:57:44 > 1:57:50see some of the artists they love. Someone here said I'd booked through

1:57:50 > 1:57:54Viagogo for little mix, my daughter's birthday, £300 for two

1:57:54 > 1:57:59tickets, I didn't realise how much they were until I paid online and

1:57:59 > 1:58:04how much the booking fee would be. I was mortified. Just coming up to

1:58:04 > 1:58:048am.

1:58:04 > 2:01:26Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

2:01:26 > 2:01:28I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

2:01:28 > 2:01:29in half an hour.

2:01:29 > 2:01:32Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.

2:01:32 > 2:01:32Bye for now.

2:04:08 > 2:04:09What more can you tell us?Well, so far the unknown as yet unidentified

2:04:09 > 2:04:15unknown substance that the two were exposed to is being analysed in the
