0:00:06 > 0:00:08Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga
0:00:08 > 0:00:09Munchetty.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12The attempted murder of a former Russian spy and his daughter -
0:00:12 > 0:00:15the government will hold a second emergency meeting today.
0:00:15 > 0:00:17Nearly 200 military experts in chemical warfare have been
0:00:17 > 0:00:24deployed to help the investigation.
0:00:37 > 0:00:39Good morning, it's Saturday the 10th of March.
0:00:39 > 0:00:42Also this morning, a deal "very much in the making."
0:00:42 > 0:00:45President Trump strikes a positive tone over a potential meeting
0:00:45 > 0:00:48with Kim Jong-un, but the White house says North Korea must take
0:00:48 > 0:00:50"concrete steps" before it can take place.
0:00:50 > 0:00:54Tackling the recruitment crisis in England's schools.
0:00:54 > 0:00:58The Education Secretary promises to cut teachers' workloads.
0:00:58 > 0:01:01In sport, a first medal for Britain at the Winter Paralympics,
0:01:01 > 0:01:06and it's a silver for visually impaired skiier Millie Knight
0:01:06 > 0:01:10and her guide Brett Wilde in the downhill skiing.
0:01:10 > 0:01:14I've been to meet the 11-year-old table tennis champion,
0:01:14 > 0:01:18hoping to bat away the competition, when she represents Wales
0:01:18 > 0:01:21at the Commonwealth Games next month.
0:01:21 > 0:01:24And Louise has the weather.
0:01:27 > 0:01:32Good morning. Some good news on this Saturday. It will be mild for all of
0:01:32 > 0:01:38us. There will be some rain. More details on exactly where, coming up.
0:01:38 > 0:01:39Good morning.
0:01:39 > 0:01:40First, our main story.
0:01:40 > 0:01:43The Home Secretary will chair a second meeting of the government's
0:01:43 > 0:01:45emergency Cobra committee today, as investigations continue
0:01:45 > 0:01:47into the poisoning of a former Russian spy.
0:01:47 > 0:01:50Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are both in a serious
0:01:50 > 0:01:52condition in hospital in Salisbury after being exposed
0:01:52 > 0:01:53to a nerve agent.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55Specialist troops trained in chemical warfare have been
0:01:55 > 0:02:03deployed to the city, as Andy Moore reports.
0:02:03 > 0:02:07Driven away by the army last night, a police car possibly contaminated
0:02:07 > 0:02:13wide traces of nerve agent. It had been parked outside Salisbury
0:02:13 > 0:02:17Hospital. During the day, military personnel and protect it year made
0:02:17 > 0:02:22it ready for transportation. -- in protective gear. This cemetery is
0:02:22 > 0:02:26another focus of the investigation. Sergei Skripal's wife is buried
0:02:26 > 0:02:33here, and there is a memorial stone for his son. Alexander's Earth Day
0:02:33 > 0:02:37was last week. Yulia had flown in from Russia to visit her father. Did
0:02:37 > 0:02:42they both come here to pay their respects before falling ill? We are
0:02:42 > 0:02:45told Yulia is responding better than her father to medical treatment, but
0:02:45 > 0:02:49they are both seriously ill. Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, also
0:02:49 > 0:02:55exposed to the nerve agent, is said to be making good progress. From the
0:02:55 > 0:02:59people of Salisbury, there is some understandable anxiety, but no sign
0:02:59 > 0:03:04of widespread fear.We are concerned about public safety, we have to
0:03:04 > 0:03:09young children who often come into the centre. We want it to be safe
0:03:09 > 0:03:13here.If there have been no further cases that we have been told about,
0:03:13 > 0:03:17and I presume we would have been told about them, we can only trust
0:03:17 > 0:03:20the government and the local authorities they are handling it.I
0:03:20 > 0:03:24don't feel worried, I feel very safe in Salisbury. I assume everybody has
0:03:24 > 0:03:29it under control.I hope they get to the bottom of its early can find out
0:03:29 > 0:03:32exactly what has been happening.On Tuesday, the Defence Secretary was
0:03:32 > 0:03:36just one of several senior ministers to attend the first meeting of Cobra
0:03:36 > 0:03:39dealing with this attack. This afternoon there will be a second
0:03:39 > 0:03:44meeting. Senior counterterrorism police officers will give an update
0:03:44 > 0:03:47on the progress of their investigation. But very little
0:03:47 > 0:03:50information is being shared with the public.
0:03:50 > 0:03:53President Trump has tweeted that a deal with North Korea is "very
0:03:53 > 0:03:57much in the making," which he said would be "very good for the world."
0:03:57 > 0:04:00The White House says he won't meet Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang takes
0:04:00 > 0:04:04concrete steps to end its nuclear programme.
0:04:04 > 0:04:10Our China correspondent Robin Brant is in Seoul.
0:04:10 > 0:04:14Good morning. Tell us a little bit about some of the reaction, firstly
0:04:14 > 0:04:20in Seoul itself?Well, they are very optimistic here. President Moon
0:04:20 > 0:04:25Jae-in, the leader of South Korea, is the man who seems to have
0:04:25 > 0:04:28engineered this meeting, or certainly the prospect of it.
0:04:28 > 0:04:31Yesterday he was calling the meeting a miracle, and characterising it is
0:04:31 > 0:04:37as a milestone on the road to realising peace. That is even before
0:04:37 > 0:04:41it has happened. So they are very optimistic here, which is frankly no
0:04:41 > 0:04:45surprise. This is a city and a country which has lived under the
0:04:45 > 0:04:48threat of a conventional military attack or decades, from its
0:04:48 > 0:04:52neighbours in the north, and more recently, certainly in the last few
0:04:52 > 0:04:56months, they were living under that rhetoric between Washington and
0:04:56 > 0:04:59Pyongyang, worried about the growing threat of a possible nuclear strike.
0:04:59 > 0:05:04They are very glad things are looking more positive now.Robin, of
0:05:04 > 0:05:07course, this extraordinary sequence of events began with that letter
0:05:07 > 0:05:15being read out in Washington. What more are we hearing from their? --
0:05:15 > 0:05:20there?Mixed messages. We had President Trump accepting the
0:05:20 > 0:05:24invitation yesterday, much to the surprise of many of his very senior
0:05:24 > 0:05:28aides. We don't know when it is going to happen, we don't know where
0:05:28 > 0:05:32it is going to happen, we don't know what the big issues on the agenda
0:05:32 > 0:05:36would need. What does the US want, what is North Korea willing to
0:05:36 > 0:05:40offer? What we do know is that at the moment, the White House is
0:05:40 > 0:05:44sending out mixed messages. Just a few hours after the President
0:05:44 > 0:05:47accepted the invitation, his press secretary said there would need to
0:05:47 > 0:05:50be concrete steps before this meeting would happen. The Wall
0:05:50 > 0:05:53Street Journal has reported the meeting is going to go ahead.
0:05:53 > 0:05:57Without preconditions. But that's just shows you how dysfunctional
0:05:57 > 0:06:01some people think this Trump White House is. -- that's just shows you.
0:06:01 > 0:06:04Robin, thank you.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06An 85-year-old man has died while waiting in an Accident
0:06:06 > 0:06:09and Emergency unit because of "dangerous overcrowding," according
0:06:09 > 0:06:10to a hospital boss.
0:06:10 > 0:06:13The man suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting to see a senior
0:06:13 > 0:06:14consultant at Northampton General Hospital.
0:06:14 > 0:06:17A leaked email from the trust's medical director describes his death
0:06:17 > 0:06:20as "due entirely to dangerous overcrowding in the department."
0:06:20 > 0:06:23In a statement the hospital said the long wait for
0:06:23 > 0:06:29treatment was "unacceptable."
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Three women have been found dead after they were taken hostage
0:06:32 > 0:06:35during a staff party at a US veterans facility in California.
0:06:35 > 0:06:37The body of a gunman was also found.
0:06:37 > 0:06:38He's understood to have killed himself.
0:06:38 > 0:06:41The residential community centre, which is the largest of its kind
0:06:41 > 0:06:44in the United States, provides mental health services
0:06:44 > 0:06:46for veterans of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars,
0:06:46 > 0:06:52who are transitioning back into civilian life.
0:06:52 > 0:06:55Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association has mounted a legal
0:06:55 > 0:06:59challenge to new gun control measures in Florida, drawn up in the
0:06:59 > 0:07:03wake of a school shooting last month which left 17 dead. It says the new
0:07:03 > 0:07:06law, which will raise the legal age to purchase firearms, is
0:07:06 > 0:07:17unconstitutional. Chris Buchler has more.
0:07:19 > 0:07:21Standing side-by-side with the families of some of those
0:07:21 > 0:07:24killed inside a school, Florida's Governor signed new laws,
0:07:24 > 0:07:26legislation designed to try to prevent such shootings
0:07:26 > 0:07:27by restricting access to guns.
0:07:27 > 0:07:31The common sense things as a father, as a grandfather, as a Governor
0:07:31 > 0:07:34is we need to have law enforcement in our schools,
0:07:34 > 0:07:37we need to harden our schools, we need more mental health
0:07:37 > 0:07:40counselling, we need to make sure people that are going to do harm...
0:07:40 > 0:07:41Think about it, we know...
0:07:41 > 0:07:42These people are talking.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45The legislation is named after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
0:07:45 > 0:07:46high school in Parkland.
0:07:46 > 0:07:48Last month 17 people, both staff and students,
0:07:48 > 0:07:51were shot dead here as others fled from classrooms
0:07:51 > 0:07:52in search of safety.
0:07:52 > 0:07:55Former pupil Nikolas Cruz is accused of carrying out the killings
0:07:55 > 0:07:58with an assault rifle he had bought when he was just 18.
0:07:58 > 0:08:02The new law raises the age at which somebody can buy a firearm
0:08:02 > 0:08:05in Florida from 18 to 21, and imposes a three-day waiting
0:08:05 > 0:08:08period for all sales.
0:08:08 > 0:08:13It allows some staff to be armed subject to training and school
0:08:13 > 0:08:19district approval, but it doesn't ban the type of semi-automatic
0:08:19 > 0:08:26weapons that were used in the Parkland shooting.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29We are done with your agenda to undermine voters' will and
0:08:29 > 0:08:35individual liberty in America. Alongside advertisers arguing that
0:08:35 > 0:08:39their members' voices are not being heard, the National Rifle
0:08:39 > 0:08:42Association is now bringing legal action to try to overturn the new
0:08:42 > 0:08:47legislation in Florida. The NRA claims that raising the age at which
0:08:47 > 0:08:51somebody can buy a gun breaches both the second Amendment and the 14th
0:08:51 > 0:08:54Amendment.
0:08:54 > 0:08:57It's an argument that may end up being fought out in Florida's
0:08:57 > 0:09:00courts, but it's only one part of a wider debate,
0:09:00 > 0:09:03and before the end of the month students will march in Washington
0:09:03 > 0:09:06to demand new countrywide restrictions on gun sales.
0:09:06 > 0:09:08The campaigners say they no longer want just sympathy,
0:09:08 > 0:09:11they want change.
0:09:20 > 0:09:22For five successive years now recruitment targets for teaching
0:09:22 > 0:09:25have been missed, and schools have complained about the cost
0:09:25 > 0:09:26and disruption involved in hiring temps.
0:09:26 > 0:09:29Schools are spending £835 million a year on supply agencies,
0:09:29 > 0:09:31according to the most recent government figures.
0:09:31 > 0:09:37Here's our Education correspondent, Elaine Dunkley.
0:09:37 > 0:09:43This is Passmore 's academy in SX. Like so many schools, it is
0:09:43 > 0:09:47struggling to recruit teachers. Classrooms around the country are
0:09:47 > 0:09:49now relying on agency supply teachers to cover permanent
0:09:49 > 0:09:55vacancies.We employ supply staff in our school, long-term supply staff
0:09:55 > 0:09:59to get to know the students. But when we have to use short-term
0:09:59 > 0:10:03supply, they don't know the systems or the students. There is a lack of
0:10:03 > 0:10:06trust that often comes, which it can build up when you have a
0:10:06 > 0:10:13relationship. It is an erosion of standards.In a survey, 71% of head
0:10:13 > 0:10:16teachers who responded said they had had to increase the amount they
0:10:16 > 0:10:21spent on agency supply teachers over the past three years. Nearly one
0:10:21 > 0:10:26fifth spent between 6% and 10% of their budget on supply teachers.
0:10:26 > 0:10:30According to the most recent government figures, schools are
0:10:30 > 0:10:34spending £835 million per year on supply agencies. The issue isn't
0:10:34 > 0:10:40just recruitment, but stopping existing teachers leaving.For me it
0:10:40 > 0:10:44was a multitude of factors. I found the workload and the job itself
0:10:44 > 0:10:53assuming. I would work 65 or 70 hour weeks. -- job itself can assuming.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56Planning, marking, the assessments. The actual teaching part probably
0:10:56 > 0:11:01took up a lease time.Today the government will announce a strategy
0:11:01 > 0:11:04drive to improve teachers' workloads, which includes no changes
0:11:04 > 0:11:10to the national curriculum for GCSEs and A-levels, and no new tests for
0:11:10 > 0:11:13primary schools, measures which the government claims will attract new
0:11:13 > 0:11:18teachers and stop experienced ones leaving.
0:11:18 > 0:11:21If you've been watching this week, you'll have seen that we've been
0:11:21 > 0:11:24keeping up to date with Zoe Ball's Sport Relief challenge.
0:11:24 > 0:11:25Well there's some good news.
0:11:25 > 0:11:28After setting off from Blackpool on Monday morning, Zoe arrived
0:11:28 > 0:11:30in Brighton yesterday evening, completing her 350-mile cycle
0:11:30 > 0:11:31between the two towns.
0:11:31 > 0:11:34Yesterday was a tough day on the bike, battling big hills
0:11:34 > 0:11:42at the end, and riding into driving rain.
0:11:49 > 0:11:53But it's all been worth it - she's raised more than £500,000
0:11:53 > 0:11:53for Sport Relief.
0:11:53 > 0:11:55You can still donate online.
0:11:55 > 0:11:58Now, where do dogs stay when they're away from home at a conference?
0:11:58 > 0:12:00At a hotel, of course!
0:12:00 > 0:12:02It's Crufts at the NEC in Birmingham this weekend,
0:12:02 > 0:12:06and with so many dogs spending a night or two away from home,
0:12:06 > 0:12:09one hotel in the city has opened its doors to 1,000
0:12:09 > 0:12:11dogs and owners.
0:12:11 > 0:12:19The hotel has even set up a doggy dining room,
0:12:19 > 0:12:24where owners and their pets can eat together.
0:12:24 > 0:12:32Two dogs go to conferences much? Yes. Attendance is very strong.On
0:12:32 > 0:12:35the front page of the Times newspaper, let's look through some
0:12:35 > 0:12:43of the papers. Here are some of the pictures from Crufts, of course. A
0:12:43 > 0:12:48wirehaired fashions, that dog is, if you are interested. -- wire-haired
0:12:48 > 0:12:54daschund. A new proposal is being drawn up to tame what is being
0:12:54 > 0:12:58called the wild west of the internet.Since you names that dog,
0:12:58 > 0:13:02I was trying to find the breed of this dog. Is it the same? No, it
0:13:02 > 0:13:09isn't. Do you know it? That is an Afghan hound. Well, there you go.
0:13:09 > 0:13:13There is a piece in the Guardian taking a look at the weirdness of
0:13:13 > 0:13:22crafts. -- Crufts. The lead story, the US will take a tough stance when
0:13:22 > 0:13:26it comes to North Korea.I am happy to take any other guesses about that
0:13:26 > 0:13:31dog's read.Yes, get in touch the usual way.On the front page of the
0:13:31 > 0:13:34Daily Telegraph, this is our lead story this morning. Residents' fear
0:13:34 > 0:13:37of a poison risk. This is in Salisbury, of course. Extraordinary
0:13:37 > 0:13:44images. These are police officers in chemical hazard suits. They are now
0:13:44 > 0:13:50investigating the graveside of Sergei Skripal's wife and son, which
0:13:50 > 0:13:54is in Salisbury Cemetery. We will have more on that story throughout
0:13:54 > 0:13:58the morning.The same story is on the front page of the Daily Mirror.
0:13:58 > 0:14:03There are suspicions, or speculation, that perhaps his son
0:14:03 > 0:14:08and wife were poison. His wife died in 2012, his son died last year.
0:14:08 > 0:14:13This is the front page of the Daily Mirror.We will have a full review
0:14:13 > 0:14:17of the newspapers a little later in the morning. It is time now to talk
0:14:17 > 0:14:20to Louise and find out what is happening with the weather. I
0:14:20 > 0:14:30understand it is going to be very mild?
0:14:30 > 0:14:34My glass is definitely half full, there will be some sunshine. This
0:14:34 > 0:14:38little arc of yellow is mild air spilling up behind the rain we have,
0:14:38 > 0:14:43and that will move its way steadily north. It is cold in Scotland, minus
0:14:43 > 0:14:47eight degrees in the Highland overnight at the mild air heading in
0:14:47 > 0:14:50your direction. If you haven't already got the message, it will be
0:14:50 > 0:14:56milder this weekend. Some wet spells, and some of the rain heavy
0:14:56 > 0:15:00as well. If the cloud breaks, the temperatures are likely to respond.
0:15:00 > 0:15:05This has been the story for the last few hours. A little bit of wet sleet
0:15:05 > 0:15:09and snow as it comes into that cold air but we expected to turn back to
0:15:09 > 0:15:13rain as we go through the day and the mild air pushes him. Significant
0:15:13 > 0:15:15rain pushing its way through Northern Ireland, northern England
0:15:15 > 0:15:19and into Scotland. A brief lull in proceedings before seeing more wet
0:15:19 > 0:15:23weather pushing in from the south-west. If we look a little more
0:15:23 > 0:15:26detail, by the middle of the afternoon we have temperatures
0:15:26 > 0:15:31sitting around four 28 degrees. A little bit of snow for the higher
0:15:31 > 0:15:35ground, but it will be rain elsewhere -- 4- eight degrees. Some
0:15:35 > 0:15:39of the rain could be heavy, the odd rumble of thunder, but as the cloud
0:15:39 > 0:15:42breaks up those temperatures will respond. We could see temperatures
0:15:42 > 0:15:51as high as 30 -- 13 to 15 degrees for some of us. My glass is half
0:15:51 > 0:15:55full today. That rain pushes its way steadily north through the night
0:15:55 > 0:15:59tonight. A misty and murky night, especially across the east, where we
0:15:59 > 0:16:05could see some fog. That will be slow to clear. A slightly chilly
0:16:05 > 0:16:08start to tomorrow, and if the fog lingers it will take those
0:16:08 > 0:16:12temperatures a bit longer to get going. Generally speaking a quieter
0:16:12 > 0:16:16day, some showers to the south, some of them heavy and thundery but
0:16:16 > 0:16:24eventually a good deal of dry weather. We are looking at highs of
0:16:24 > 0:16:28around nine to 12 Celsius. As we move out of Sunday into Monday,
0:16:28 > 0:16:32another area of low pressure could spoil proceedings for the start of
0:16:32 > 0:16:35the week, but then a ridge of high pressure is like to quieten things
0:16:35 > 0:16:38from Tuesday. More from me later in the programme.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41from Tuesday. More from me later in the programme. Back to you two.
0:16:41 > 0:16:45Glass half full, we are very happy with that, Louise.
0:16:45 > 0:16:47We will be back with the headlines at 6:30am.
0:16:47 > 0:16:50But now it is time for The Film Review,
0:16:50 > 0:16:58with Ben Brown and Mark Kermode.
0:17:06 > 0:17:11Hello there, and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14And taking us through this week's cinema releases is,
0:17:14 > 0:17:16who else, but Mark Kermode.
0:17:16 > 0:17:19So Mark, what have you got for us this week?
0:17:19 > 0:17:23Very mixed bag - we have Gringo, which is a kind of caper movie
0:17:23 > 0:17:24starring David Oyelowo.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27We have You Were Never Really Here, which is the new film
0:17:27 > 0:17:29by Lynne Ramsay, whose work I love.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33And Mom And Dad, a sort of satirical horror film starring Mick Cage.
0:17:33 > 0:17:35OK, so let's kick off with Gringo.
0:17:35 > 0:17:43This is about a businessman who becomes a kind of wanted criminal?
0:17:44 > 0:17:47Yeah, so the story is, David Oyelowo is a sort of fairly
0:17:47 > 0:17:49hapless character working for a drug company.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52And he ends up faking his own kidnapping in Mexico
0:17:52 > 0:17:55because he discovers essentially that he's going to lose his job,
0:17:55 > 0:17:58it looks like he's going to lose his wife, he hasn't got anything else
0:17:58 > 0:18:01to lose, so he fakes his own kidnapping.
0:18:01 > 0:18:04It starts off with him going on the trip to Mexico,
0:18:04 > 0:18:05with Joel Edgerton and Charlize Theron,
0:18:05 > 0:18:08both of whom are chewing the scenery as his evil superiors.
0:18:08 > 0:18:11Here's a clip.
0:18:11 > 0:18:12There it is again.
0:18:12 > 0:18:17What is that smell?
0:18:17 > 0:18:25Barbecue - I always bring it for Angel.
0:18:25 > 0:18:26Angel, buenos dias.
0:18:26 > 0:18:27There you go.
0:18:27 > 0:18:28Gracias.
0:18:28 > 0:18:35Hello.
0:18:35 > 0:18:37New app.
0:18:37 > 0:18:41Amazing.
0:18:41 > 0:18:43Knew what else is amazing, is actually learning
0:18:43 > 0:18:48a foreign language.
0:18:48 > 0:18:49Taco Bell, huh?
0:18:49 > 0:18:53That's sensational.
0:18:53 > 0:18:55I mean, as I said, chewing the scenery.
0:18:55 > 0:18:57Here's the thing with this film.
0:18:57 > 0:19:00In terms of the plot, it is all over the place,
0:19:00 > 0:19:08it's one where the writers have clearly decided to throw a bunch
0:19:09 > 0:19:12of ideas at the wall and see what sticks,
0:19:12 > 0:19:14and only some of them do.
0:19:14 > 0:19:16It gets by, however, largely on the fact that
0:19:16 > 0:19:17you like the cast.
0:19:17 > 0:19:20So, David Oyelowo is a very likeable antihero figure.
0:19:20 > 0:19:23They are very dislikeable villains in a real -
0:19:23 > 0:19:25she's basically playing Cruella Deville, and they're
0:19:25 > 0:19:26enjoying themselves.
0:19:26 > 0:19:28There are entire character threads...
0:19:28 > 0:19:30Sharlto Copley turns up halfway through suddenly,
0:19:30 > 0:19:32and the film takes an entire different direction.
0:19:32 > 0:19:34There are entire sections of it that don't hang together,
0:19:34 > 0:19:37and at the end you go, none of it added up.
0:19:37 > 0:19:40But whilst watching it, I enjoyed it much more
0:19:40 > 0:19:43than I thought was going to because the individual set pieces.
0:19:43 > 0:19:46There is one set piece in which a drug lord demands to know
0:19:46 > 0:19:50from the people who he's holding hostage whether or not they agree
0:19:50 > 0:19:52that Sergeant Pepper is the best Beatles album.
0:19:52 > 0:19:55And it's one of those weirdly surreal moments that works.
0:19:55 > 0:19:55Others don't.
0:19:55 > 0:19:58The film could have lost 20 or 30 minutes.
0:19:58 > 0:19:59It could have lost one entire thread.
0:19:59 > 0:20:02It's shambolic, no question, and it's a mess, no question.
0:20:02 > 0:20:05But it's an entertaining mess, largely because I like
0:20:05 > 0:20:05the central characters.
0:20:05 > 0:20:08David Oyelowo is absolutely brilliant, and he kind of holds
0:20:08 > 0:20:09the whole thing together.
0:20:09 > 0:20:11Is Sergeant Pepper the best Beatles album?
0:20:11 > 0:20:11No.
0:20:11 > 0:20:12No, OK.
0:20:12 > 0:20:14Glad we got a verdict there.
0:20:14 > 0:20:16Now, next, You Were Never Really Here.
0:20:16 > 0:20:17This is a kind of vigilante thriller?
0:20:17 > 0:20:20Well, it looks like that but it isn't.
0:20:20 > 0:20:21It's a Lynne Ramsay film.
0:20:21 > 0:20:24Lynne Ramsay made Rat Catcher, We Need To Talk About Kevin.
0:20:24 > 0:20:27She is someone who makes films entirely on her own terms.
0:20:27 > 0:20:29This is based on a novella by Jonathan Ames.
0:20:29 > 0:20:32And the story is that Joaquin Phoenix is an enforcer,
0:20:32 > 0:20:35somebody who is a hired gun, who specialises in retrieving lost
0:20:35 > 0:20:36kids, lost teenagers.
0:20:36 > 0:20:40He is sent at the beginning of the film to get back
0:20:40 > 0:20:40a senator's missing daughter.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42That's the mechanics of the plot.
0:20:42 > 0:20:45However, Lynne Ramsay isn't really that interested in plot mechanics.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48What she's interested in is the fact that he's a very damaged character.
0:20:48 > 0:20:52She described him as somebody who's got what is like a head full
0:20:52 > 0:20:53of broken glass.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56And what the film does is it gives you this nominal thriller
0:20:56 > 0:20:59narrative, but actually it's a very poetic portrait of somebody who's
0:20:59 > 0:21:01life is falling apart, who's haunted by the ghosts
0:21:01 > 0:21:03of the past, who's haunted by past
0:21:03 > 0:21:04abusive traumas.
0:21:04 > 0:21:07Plus it upends your expectation, because you know at the beginning
0:21:07 > 0:21:09that he's a kind of...
0:21:09 > 0:21:12He's a hired enforcer, his weapon of choice is a hammer,
0:21:12 > 0:21:15and yet he loves his mother, he looks after his mother.
0:21:15 > 0:21:18When they're at home, Psycho comes on the television,
0:21:18 > 0:21:20so you think, "Oh, he's Norman Bates."
0:21:20 > 0:21:21But he's not Norman Bates.
0:21:21 > 0:21:23Later on, Shawshank Redemption comes on the television,
0:21:23 > 0:21:26which is very significant if you're a Shawshank fan,
0:21:26 > 0:21:26which I am.
0:21:26 > 0:21:29The score is by Johnny Greenwood, whose work is brilliant.
0:21:29 > 0:21:32The whole film has this really overwhelming sensory experience,
0:21:32 > 0:21:33it's got a brilliant sound design.
0:21:33 > 0:21:36See it in a cinema that's playing it loud.
0:21:36 > 0:21:40And I've now seen it a couple of times, and the first time I found
0:21:40 > 0:21:42it elliptical, almost hard to follow the plot,
0:21:42 > 0:21:44but you don't care because what you're
0:21:44 > 0:21:45following is the characters.
0:21:45 > 0:21:48Second time around I thought, this is proper cinema making.
0:21:48 > 0:21:51Lynne Ramsay is an absolute genius, nobody makes films like her.
0:21:51 > 0:21:54She makes few films, and when she does they are always
0:21:54 > 0:21:56worth it.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59As far as I'm concerned, she has a perfect strike rate,
0:21:59 > 0:22:02and this is already one of my favourite films of the year
0:22:02 > 0:22:03and we're only in March.
0:22:03 > 0:22:04Wow. Yes.
0:22:04 > 0:22:07Now, Mom And Dad, which sounds very nice, with Nicholas Cage,
0:22:07 > 0:22:10but it's actually parents turning quite nasty on their children?
0:22:10 > 0:22:10Yeah.
0:22:10 > 0:22:12So it's one of those "what if" horror movies,
0:22:12 > 0:22:16what if parents suddenly decided to turn on their kids,
0:22:16 > 0:22:20because they've been in this case, we think, infected either by a virus
0:22:20 > 0:22:22or perhaps by a signal which is coming through
0:22:22 > 0:22:23the television.
0:22:23 > 0:22:25It seems to be sort of sent through television distortion.
0:22:25 > 0:22:29The film is directed by the guy who is one half of Neveldine
0:22:29 > 0:22:32and Taylor, who made films like Crank, who are not
0:22:32 > 0:22:32known for understatement.
0:22:32 > 0:22:36So, at the very beginning of the film, it starts as a standard
0:22:36 > 0:22:38thing, a mother and father and they're resentful
0:22:38 > 0:22:41of their children's freedoms but they're also very protective.
0:22:41 > 0:22:44And then this strange, horrific outbreak happens,
0:22:44 > 0:22:47and the parents turn on their children, but also
0:22:47 > 0:22:49at the same time remain weirdly, satirically protective.
0:22:49 > 0:22:51Here's a clip.
0:22:51 > 0:22:56It's not what you think.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58What are you doing in my house?
0:22:58 > 0:23:03Is my daughter here?
0:23:03 > 0:23:04Carly?
0:23:04 > 0:23:04Joshua?
0:23:04 > 0:23:05Is that dad?
0:23:05 > 0:23:10I want dad.
0:23:10 > 0:23:12We need to leave God damn it.
0:23:12 > 0:23:13I want to get my backpack.
0:23:13 > 0:23:13Why?
0:23:13 > 0:23:15Fine just get it.
0:23:15 > 0:23:16We need to talk.
0:23:16 > 0:23:17Oh, do we need to talk?
0:23:17 > 0:23:20Yeah, we do need to talk you can't be hit.
0:23:20 > 0:23:23It's not about me and Carly, it's about what's happening.
0:23:23 > 0:23:24I get exactly...
0:23:24 > 0:23:25It's called hormones.
0:23:25 > 0:23:29Now, this is one of those films in which Nic Cage goes full Nic
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Cage.
0:23:31 > 0:23:35There is a sequence in which he attacks a pool table,
0:23:35 > 0:23:38and it ranks alongside, you know, Nic Cage's craziest moments.
0:23:38 > 0:23:40The reason it works is this.
0:23:40 > 0:23:44If you have a horror film like this, it has to have a central truth
0:23:44 > 0:23:45at the heart of it.
0:23:45 > 0:23:48And the central truth is, these parents basically resent
0:23:48 > 0:23:53the fact that they - they were once young,
0:23:53 > 0:23:56crazy, free-spirited, Nic Cage and some kind of...
0:23:56 > 0:23:58And now their lives have changed, because they've dedicated themselves
0:23:58 > 0:24:00to looking after the children.
0:24:00 > 0:24:02So, although what happens is a sort of supernatural manifestation,
0:24:02 > 0:24:05it's sort of clawing away at that idea that these resentments
0:24:05 > 0:24:06are actually real things.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09It's a really odd film, it's definitely not for everybody.
0:24:09 > 0:24:10It's very taboo-breaking.
0:24:10 > 0:24:13It's dealing with a very taboo issue, which is parents
0:24:13 > 0:24:13turning on children.
0:24:13 > 0:24:20We've seen plenty of movies with scary children,
0:24:20 > 0:24:22you know, whether it's Village Of the Dammed,
0:24:22 > 0:24:23or The Excorcist.
0:24:23 > 0:24:24This is the other way round.
0:24:24 > 0:24:26And it works, up to a point.
0:24:26 > 0:24:27It's completely bonkers.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30There are several moments in it when you think,
0:24:30 > 0:24:31this is just preposterous.
0:24:31 > 0:24:33But it works because it's got a central core idea,
0:24:33 > 0:24:36and it's not afraid, you know, to over-crank itself.
0:24:36 > 0:24:39And I enjoyed it, but I was very aware after watching it,
0:24:39 > 0:24:41I'm enjoying it as a horror fan.
0:24:41 > 0:24:42It's not for everybody.
0:24:42 > 0:24:45Well, I can imagine as a parent you might find it pretty
0:24:45 > 0:24:46uncomfortable kind of viewing.
0:24:46 > 0:24:50Yeah, and the moments that it works the best are exactly those moments,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53when it taps into the idea that this is outrageous,
0:24:53 > 0:24:56this is terrible, but it's tapping into a sort of parental resentment
0:24:56 > 0:25:02idea, which is a very, very taboo idea.
0:25:02 > 0:25:06So it's, you know, as I said, not for everybody, but if you're
0:25:06 > 0:25:08a horror fan, if you like films like Teeth,
0:25:08 > 0:25:12if you like films like American Mary, if you like offbeat,
0:25:12 > 0:25:14strange, quirky American horror movies, that dare to go
0:25:14 > 0:25:16into fairly dark places, then I think it's
0:25:16 > 0:25:17an interesting film.
0:25:17 > 0:25:19And it is genuinely horrifying, is it?
0:25:19 > 0:25:21It's genuinely satirically nasty, which is slightly different.
0:25:21 > 0:25:21OK.
0:25:21 > 0:25:24All right, I think we get the distinction.
0:25:24 > 0:25:25You're not going, I can tell.
0:25:25 > 0:25:28I'm not going, you're absolutely right!
0:25:28 > 0:25:29What is best out at the moment?
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Fantastic Woman, which just won to the Oscar for Best Foreign
0:25:32 > 0:25:36Language Film, is a wonderful story about a transgender woman who finds
0:25:36 > 0:25:39herself shut out of her life when her lover dies and the family
0:25:39 > 0:25:42descend, it has a brilliant performance by Daniela Vega,
0:25:42 > 0:25:44who is just wonderful, really mesmerising, a great screen
0:25:44 > 0:25:46presence and really carries the movie.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Sebastian Lelio, who directed it, I think does a wonderful job
0:25:49 > 0:25:52of mixing on the one hand, you know, realist, gritty story elements
0:25:52 > 0:25:53with moments of fantasy.
0:25:53 > 0:25:56At one point it turns into a sort of musical fantasia,
0:25:56 > 0:25:57in which she levitates.
0:25:57 > 0:26:00There's another moment when she's walking down the street and the wind
0:26:00 > 0:26:03is blowing, and it's almost like a supernatural wind.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06And the film is about, you know, finding your identity,
0:26:06 > 0:26:07finding your place, asserting your name,
0:26:07 > 0:26:10you know, saying, "I am Marina, this is who I am."
0:26:10 > 0:26:14I've seen it a few times now, and every time I've seen I've seen
0:26:14 > 0:26:15more in it.
0:26:15 > 0:26:18It's really well worth watching, and it was a deserved Oscar winner.
0:26:18 > 0:26:20So, your recommendation.
0:26:20 > 0:26:22Absolutely.
0:26:22 > 0:26:24All right, and the best DVD?
0:26:24 > 0:26:25Killing Of A Sacred Deer.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Killing Of A Sacred Deer is the new film by Yorgos Lanthimos.
0:26:28 > 0:26:31It's interesting because it was at Cannes the same time
0:26:31 > 0:26:34the Lynne Ramsay film was at Cannes, and they shared the prize
0:26:34 > 0:26:35for best screenwriting.
0:26:35 > 0:26:39This is a very, very odd story about a medic who has a secret
0:26:39 > 0:26:40in his past.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43It starts off looking like it's a kind of strange social satire,
0:26:43 > 0:26:45and then it turns into a full-blooded horror movie.
0:26:45 > 0:26:48It's more horrifying than anything that's in Mom And Dad.
0:26:48 > 0:26:51I mean, it's genuinely disturbing at the end.
0:26:51 > 0:26:55But it's a film, again, in which it's all to do with the way
0:26:55 > 0:26:58in which the story is told rather than the story itself.
0:26:58 > 0:27:01It makes a very, very interesting double bill with the Lynne Ramsay
0:27:01 > 0:27:05movie, and I don't want to say it again but the Lynne Ramsay movie
0:27:05 > 0:27:08is one which everybody has to go and see.
0:27:08 > 0:27:10There is quite a lot around which blurs horror
0:27:10 > 0:27:11and social satire.
0:27:11 > 0:27:13Horror is in a fantastic period at the moment,
0:27:13 > 0:27:18horror is in a period in which it doesn't look like a single genre.
0:27:18 > 0:27:21We are seeing horror inflecting a whole lot of other
0:27:21 > 0:27:22areas, and obviously...
0:27:22 > 0:27:24That was my I grew up on horror movies.
0:27:24 > 0:27:29Get Out is a movie I absolutely love - if you call that a horror movie.
0:27:29 > 0:27:30It is absolutely a horror movie.
0:27:30 > 0:27:34And people started saying it wasn't a horror movie when it got nominated
0:27:34 > 0:27:37for Oscars, because that's always the thing which scares people off.
0:27:37 > 0:27:40But it is a horror movie, it's in the tradition of Ira Levin,
0:27:40 > 0:27:44but it's also a social satire, it has elements of comedy in it.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46You know, horror can inflect absolutely everything.
0:27:46 > 0:27:48It is the genre to end all genres.
0:27:48 > 0:27:49Well, it's your favourite genre.
0:27:49 > 0:27:51It is, absolutely. Fair enough.
0:27:51 > 0:27:53Mark, thank you very much indeed. Thank you.

0:32:14 > 0:32:17good. Especially at this time of day. We are talking about the Winter
0:32:17 > 0:32:28Paralympics. We are delighted for Millie Knight and is Brett Wilde. I
0:32:28 > 0:32:33was with her in the Alps a year ago, she had been injured, she had a
0:32:33 > 0:32:36concussion and wasn't sure if she would make Paralympics.
0:32:36 > 0:32:40It could be the start of a medal rush, not just for Britain,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42but for Millie Knight and her guide Brett Wild,
0:32:42 > 0:32:43because they still have
0:32:43 > 0:32:45four events to compete in.
0:32:45 > 0:32:47Let's get some reaction now in Pyeongchang
0:32:47 > 0:32:49and speak to our reporter Kate Gray.
0:32:49 > 0:32:49Hi, Kate.
0:32:49 > 0:32:53A great start for 19-year-old Millie and a boost for the whole team.
0:32:53 > 0:32:56Yes, absolutely. It was the first medal event of these games.
0:32:56 > 0:33:01Paralympics Team GB have come away with a medal in the downhill skiing.
0:33:01 > 0:33:07I by those medallists, Millie Knight and her guide Brett Wilde. Huge
0:33:07 > 0:33:11congratulations, what a relief to get a medal on the first day!
0:33:11 > 0:33:14Absolutely fantastic. This time last year I sustained a severe
0:33:14 > 0:33:19concussion, on the slopes, when I crashed into the finish line. To
0:33:19 > 0:33:22cross the line today is a silver-medallist is amazing.Were
0:33:22 > 0:33:26you nervous at the start? Was that going through your mind at all?I
0:33:26 > 0:33:31certainly was nervous, I guess that just means care about it. All the
0:33:31 > 0:33:35nerves went as soon as we started. Brad, you are guiding her down the
0:33:35 > 0:33:39mountain. Not a particularly easy downhill. Some incidents with other
0:33:39 > 0:33:44athletes?Yes, quite a challenging downhill. That rank there was no
0:33:44 > 0:33:47proper point where you could rest and the conditions were quite
0:33:47 > 0:33:51challenging. We had a game plan and we stuck to it and we are so pleased
0:33:51 > 0:33:56that we made it.Is there a slight disappointment but it wasn't the
0:33:56 > 0:34:00gold this time?No, definitely not. With the season we've had, it has
0:34:00 > 0:34:03been quite a frustrating season. We have not been getting the results we
0:34:03 > 0:34:08wanted. Coming back from concussion was very tough. This is the highest
0:34:08 > 0:34:12result that we have had all season and so for it to come at the
0:34:12 > 0:34:15paralytic games is wonderful. And you have a busy programme ahead of
0:34:15 > 0:34:21you. -- Paralympic Games. How do you recover and get back on the slopes?
0:34:21 > 0:34:25We have done our recovery, we will be speaking to the team psychologist
0:34:25 > 0:34:28this evening to get our game plan together and reset our heads. Nearly
0:34:28 > 0:34:36thrives off confidence. -- Millie thrives. So this result, we can
0:34:36 > 0:34:40hopefully go on to achieve better later in the week.We wish you the
0:34:40 > 0:34:43best of luck. Please continue that incredible form that you've got.
0:34:43 > 0:34:51That is Great Britain's first medal of the games. Unfortunately was
0:34:51 > 0:34:54disappointment for Fitzpatrick and Keyhoe, who crashed out early in the
0:34:54 > 0:34:58race. They will get to go again, as will Millie Knight and Brett Wilde,
0:34:58 > 0:35:02in the Super G tomorrow. Great Britain are against Norway in the
0:35:02 > 0:35:09wheelchair curling today. Recently it was 1-1 between them.Yes, that's
0:35:09 > 0:35:15on a knife edge. Please pass on our huge congratulations to Millie
0:35:15 > 0:35:18Knight and Brett Wilde. That is fantastic. Millie Knight is only 19
0:35:18 > 0:35:26years old, she only has 5% vision, she relies on sound and feeling, and
0:35:26 > 0:35:33quinces of Brett Wilde's orange jacket. More victory for England's
0:35:33 > 0:35:34cricketers, as well.
0:35:34 > 0:35:37Jonny Bairstow hit 104 as England beat New Zealand by seven wickets
0:35:37 > 0:35:39in Christchurch to win the one-day series 3-2.
0:35:39 > 0:35:42Chris Woakes excelled with the ball, finishing with figures of 3-32.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45Adil Rashid also claimed three wickets as the Black Caps
0:35:45 > 0:35:46were bowled out for 223.
0:35:46 > 0:35:49England reached that total with the loss of just 3 wickets.
0:35:49 > 0:35:51They've now won five successive ODI series.
0:35:51 > 0:35:53And what a catch that was.
0:35:53 > 0:35:55The Six Nations Championship could be decided today.
0:35:55 > 0:35:58If results go their way, Ireland will take the title.
0:35:58 > 0:36:00They're the only side that can do the Grand Slam,
0:36:00 > 0:36:03winning every match - and if they beat Scotland and take
0:36:03 > 0:36:07a bonus point, England must do the same in France to take
0:36:07 > 0:36:13the championship to the final weekend.
0:36:13 > 0:36:18We just need to make sure that we play from the first minute and that
0:36:18 > 0:36:23we don't let any distractions or any little things or even a dropped ball
0:36:23 > 0:36:27in the warmup, or the bus breaking down, or anything left field like
0:36:27 > 0:36:35that, but that doesn't catch us. This game is all about experience.
0:36:35 > 0:36:38So, they are up against a Scotland team full of confidence after
0:36:38 > 0:36:41beating England. Scotland are not actually out of the running yet.
0:36:41 > 0:36:45They are third on the table. Victory for Scotland would mean a whole new
0:36:45 > 0:36:49selection of limitations.
0:36:49 > 0:36:54If we want to challenge for the title we need to win this game. They
0:36:54 > 0:36:59are going well. They are a very good side. So it will be a huge test for
0:36:59 > 0:37:03us, one which we have to meet head-on.
0:37:03 > 0:37:07The good thing for England is that they will not exactly what they need
0:37:07 > 0:37:09to do by the time they kick off in Paris.
0:37:09 > 0:37:13They might have to score four tries and pick up a bonus
0:37:13 > 0:37:15point but their boss won't be rolling the dice.
0:37:15 > 0:37:19I'm not a gambler. I'm not a speculator. The only thing I need to
0:37:19 > 0:37:23worry about is catching England to beat France. That is the only thing
0:37:23 > 0:37:27we can control. We play really well, we get a bonus point. We don't play
0:37:27 > 0:37:30well, we get beaten. We play above average, we win the game.
0:37:30 > 0:37:33Manchester City may be flying ahead in the Premier League title
0:37:33 > 0:37:36but the fight for second place is warming up nicely.
0:37:36 > 0:37:37Two of the contenders meet at lunchtime,
0:37:37 > 0:37:38with Manchester United
0:37:38 > 0:37:44facing Liverpool at Old Trafford.
0:37:44 > 0:37:48They played out a goalless draw when they last met back in October,
0:37:48 > 0:37:50with United's defence tying Liverpool's attack in knots.
0:37:50 > 0:37:55It is not a battle of systems or philosophies. It is to make a very
0:37:55 > 0:38:05good football team to face each other. -- it is two very good. When
0:38:05 > 0:38:09they are attacking, I have all my players are involved in defending.
0:38:09 > 0:38:13If we are parking the bus in that moment, we parked the bus, I have no
0:38:13 > 0:38:14problem with that.
0:38:14 > 0:38:16In the Scottish Premiership, we have Rangers against Celtic
0:38:16 > 0:38:18in the Old Firm derby tomorrow.
0:38:18 > 0:38:20Last night, Hibernian moved 12 points clear
0:38:20 > 0:38:22of Hearts with a 2-0 win at Easter Road.
0:38:22 > 0:38:25Hibs are now just a point behind third-placed Aberdeen.
0:38:25 > 0:38:27British number one Johanna Konta said defeat
0:38:27 > 0:38:30in the second round at Indian Wells was one of the tougher losses
0:38:30 > 0:38:31of her career.
0:38:31 > 0:38:34She lost in straight sets to 18-year-old Marketa Vondrousova,
0:38:34 > 0:38:35ranked 54th in the world.
0:38:35 > 0:38:38Konta has won only eight matches since she reached the semi-finals
0:38:38 > 0:38:44at Wimbledon last summer.
0:38:44 > 0:38:46Rory McIlroy's Masters preparations suffered a setback after another
0:38:46 > 0:38:48poor round at the Valspar Championship in Florida.
0:38:48 > 0:38:52He won't be back for the weekend after carding a 73 to finish
0:38:52 > 0:38:53on five over par.
0:38:53 > 0:38:57Meanwhile Tiger Woods is two shots off the pace after a round of 68.
0:38:57 > 0:38:59Canada's Corey Conners leads on six under par.
0:38:59 > 0:39:01The continuing controversy surrounding Team Sky doesn't seem
0:39:01 > 0:39:04to be affecting their race performances after Geraint Thomas
0:39:04 > 0:39:08took the lead in the Tirreno Adriatico in Italy.
0:39:08 > 0:39:11The Briton finished fourth on yesterday's third stage,
0:39:11 > 0:39:14but that was enough to move him up to the top
0:39:14 > 0:39:15of the general classification.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18Team mate Chris Froome is in third place, three seconds off the lead.
0:39:18 > 0:39:21It's less than a month away until the start
0:39:21 > 0:39:23of the Commonwealth Games and teams from across Great Britain
0:39:23 > 0:39:31are preparing to head to Australia's Gold Coast.
0:39:36 > 0:39:39In the lead-up to the games I've been meeting some of the medals
0:39:39 > 0:39:41hopes from each team.
0:39:41 > 0:39:44This week I've been to Wales to meet an extraordinary table tennis player
0:39:44 > 0:39:49who's only 11.
0:39:49 > 0:39:53Your first year at secondary school is a big step in life. But maybe not
0:39:53 > 0:39:59if you are Anna, who at the age of 11 is about to rip Zantac country on
0:39:59 > 0:40:04the other side of the world, -- represent. And that the same time,
0:40:04 > 0:40:13rewrite the history books. MUSIC. Now, these pictures haven't been
0:40:13 > 0:40:18sped up. This is how good Anna is. At school, in her lunch hour, she
0:40:18 > 0:40:22doesn't give anybody a chance, as she builds up to competing at the
0:40:22 > 0:40:25senior Commonwealth Games in Australia.It was really good, it's
0:40:25 > 0:40:32exciting. I am a bit nervous. Senior countries, and making new friends.
0:40:32 > 0:40:37-- seeing a new countries.It is mesmerising watching Anna, who just
0:40:37 > 0:40:41remember, only recently that rhyme is cool and has already graduated to
0:40:41 > 0:40:45the Commonwealth games, lead to be the youngest athlete in history to
0:40:45 > 0:40:53do so. -- recently graduated primary school. No shame, John!It is
0:40:53 > 0:40:57breathtaking how fast years, it is remarkable. We are very lucky as a
0:40:57 > 0:41:02school to have her here. I think she is going to do her school proud and
0:41:02 > 0:41:10do Wales proud as well.She is really nice and we didn't know at
0:41:10 > 0:41:13first that she was this good when we were in primary, it is really
0:41:13 > 0:41:18amazing how she is just 11 years old and she beats all the adult players.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Anna started playing table tennis when she was five and because there
0:41:21 > 0:41:26are not enough players of her standard in Wales, she has recently
0:41:26 > 0:41:31spent time training in China against the best in the world. OK, I'm very
0:41:31 > 0:41:37nervous about this.
0:41:45 > 0:41:47nervous about this. This humiliation is the result of most of Anna's
0:41:47 > 0:41:52gains. This is what she is going to try to do to all those... Spin! Look
0:41:52 > 0:41:57at that! This is what Anna will be doing, I'm sure, too many senior
0:41:57 > 0:42:02players on the Gold Coast.You have to be really fast.Spin! That is
0:42:02 > 0:42:12crazy.Sorry. You have to be, like, thinking quick, which ball you are
0:42:12 > 0:42:16going to hit, what you are going to do, planet before you play your
0:42:16 > 0:42:20point and then you risk it for three seconds and then you play again.
0:42:20 > 0:42:25Just think about it.Anna now spends over three hours a day perfect in
0:42:25 > 0:42:29her shots because she wants to show the world she is not going to the
0:42:29 > 0:42:33Gold Coast just for the experience. -- perfecting.I'm going there to
0:42:33 > 0:42:39try to win.What would it mean to get a medal?It would mean a lot.
0:42:39 > 0:42:46There is no pressure, you just have to play your best.
0:42:46 > 0:42:50She is already the top under 18 player in Wales, and just about in
0:42:50 > 0:42:53the world's top 20 now. It is incredible that she will be
0:42:53 > 0:42:58competing in the senior Commonwealth games at the age of 11. Now, the
0:42:58 > 0:43:01records for the Commonwealth Games are a bit sketchy. It is believed
0:43:01 > 0:43:04she will be the youngest ever to compete, that when it was the
0:43:04 > 0:43:08British Empire Games, we don't know if maybe, sometime, there was a
0:43:08 > 0:43:11younger player from somewhere.An amazing achievement.She seems so
0:43:11 > 0:43:17calm.Like a professional athlete, really.But when she is at the table
0:43:17 > 0:43:22her mind is obviously rising.Such an experience, to be people who are
0:43:22 > 0:43:27older and more experienced than her. So the games are building up in the
0:43:27 > 0:43:30next few weeks, we will have the other home nations featured over the
0:43:30 > 0:43:32coming weekends.
0:43:32 > 0:43:34You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.
0:43:34 > 0:43:37The main stories this morning: 180 troops have been brought
0:43:37 > 0:43:39in to assist police after the attempted murder
0:43:39 > 0:43:47of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury.
0:43:47 > 0:43:51President Trump has reaffirmed that a deal with North Korea is very much
0:43:51 > 0:43:54in the making, after agreeing to meet Kim Jong-un.
0:43:54 > 0:43:58Also coming up in the programme: We will be asking whether mandatory
0:43:58 > 0:44:00passing distances and fines for motorists who fling
0:44:00 > 0:44:03open their car doors could be the way to protect
0:44:03 > 0:44:07cyclists from danger.
0:44:07 > 0:44:10It's time for the weather, but first, we can have a look
0:44:10 > 0:44:12at the view across London this morning.
0:44:12 > 0:44:17Here is Louise.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21It is one of those kinds of days, I can't quite work out what the
0:44:21 > 0:44:26weather is going to do, that is my amateur forecast.Do you know what I
0:44:26 > 0:44:32like? Just a month ago it would have been dark at this point, and it is
0:44:32 > 0:44:34getting lighter. It feels as though we
0:44:34 > 0:44:37getting lighter. It feels as though we are getting into spring. What do
0:44:37 > 0:44:41you think, Louise?We are definitely heading into spring. It looks as
0:44:41 > 0:44:47though we are going to see milder air over the next few days. I have a
0:44:47 > 0:44:50picture coming up which will top that one in London, stay watching.
0:44:50 > 0:44:55But take a look at the story as we go through the day to day. The mild
0:44:55 > 0:44:58air pushes up from the south and will move into Scotland. I know it
0:44:58 > 0:45:03has been a cold night, we have seen loads of -8 in the Highlands, but
0:45:03 > 0:45:07the mild air heading in your direction. Most of us, a mild day
0:45:07 > 0:45:13around, some of the rain heavy at times. And this has been the story
0:45:13 > 0:45:15through the rain overnight, in actual fact pushing up across the
0:45:15 > 0:45:18south-west in the northern England and Northern Ireland. A little bit
0:45:18 > 0:45:23of sleet and snow as it comes into that cold air. As the mild at
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Thaksin behind we are not too concerned about the snow in Scotland
0:45:26 > 0:45:30today. That rain will turn quite heavy as it pushes its way into
0:45:30 > 0:45:33Central Scotland by the middle of the afternoon. Further south we will
0:45:33 > 0:45:37see another band of rain moving through but this one could be some
0:45:37 > 0:45:40brightness from time to time. Either middle of the afternoon we will see
0:45:40 > 0:45:43some rain, and some of it quite heavy. Temperatures starting to
0:45:43 > 0:45:47climb, four to eight degrees, the real mild air will arrive later on.
0:45:47 > 0:45:51Through Northern Ireland, double digits. Rain across northern
0:45:51 > 0:45:55England, Wales, down into the Midlands. If it rakes up and is
0:45:55 > 0:45:58rather showery in nature, we will see sunshine coming through. We
0:45:58 > 0:46:02could see highs of 15 degrees. If we get higher than that, the warmest
0:46:02 > 0:46:07day of the year so far. The rain will continue to push its waste
0:46:07 > 0:46:11steadily northwards, southerly winds driving in that warmer air, but
0:46:11 > 0:46:15overnight they will do back down to single figures and we could see a
0:46:15 > 0:46:18problem with some fog firstly the morning. That is certainly worth
0:46:18 > 0:46:22bearing in mind. It could be a murky old start to our Sunday, and because
0:46:22 > 0:46:26of that fog, some of its slow to clear, the temperatures will take
0:46:26 > 0:46:29their time to pick tomorrow. We could see a few showers starting to
0:46:29 > 0:46:33push in from the south-west. Some of the showers heavy and possibly
0:46:33 > 0:46:37thundery at times. A better day for northern England, Northern Ireland
0:46:37 > 0:46:41and Scotland. Some sunny spells coming through perhaps, and look at
0:46:41 > 0:46:44this. Nine to 12 degrees. The last time we saw double digits in
0:46:44 > 0:46:51Scotland is in on 20 February. This is the far north of Scotland,
0:46:51 > 0:46:54because of those clear skies, and in fact there is the potential tonight
0:46:54 > 0:46:59to see the aurora up into the north. The bright yellow denotes the
0:46:59 > 0:47:03greater chance of seeing it, but you will see how it nudges into the far
0:47:03 > 0:47:08north of Scotland, so get out there and take a look before you go to
0:47:08 > 0:47:12bed. You could see an amazing sight. I would be very jealous.Thank you
0:47:12 > 0:47:14very much, talk to you later on.
0:47:14 > 0:47:16We will be back with the headlines at 7:00am.
0:47:16 > 0:47:19First it's time for Click, with Spencer Kelly.
0:47:40 > 0:47:43As International Women's Day was marked this week,
0:47:43 > 0:47:47it brought with it further focus on the many issues still to be faced
0:47:47 > 0:47:50in bringing about true gender equality in all walks of life.
0:47:50 > 0:47:53The technology industry, of course, has its own issues,
0:47:53 > 0:47:56as we'll hear later.
0:47:56 > 0:47:59Silicon Valley's culture and its treatment of women raises
0:47:59 > 0:48:00a lot of questions.
0:48:00 > 0:48:05But tech can also be a force for good.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08It's been just six months or so since the Me Too movement gave
0:48:08 > 0:48:12a voice to so many women around the world, who used social media
0:48:12 > 0:48:16to expose just how widespread sexual harassment and assault is.
0:48:16 > 0:48:20Many women feel that reporting sexual assault can also be really
0:48:20 > 0:48:25traumatic, and the experiences of some women in Silicon Valley have
0:48:25 > 0:48:28spurred them to create something that may make that just
0:48:28 > 0:48:29a little bit easier.
0:48:29 > 0:48:33Sumi Das has travelled to Stanford University to meet
0:48:33 > 0:48:38survivors of sexual abuse, and the creators of Callisto.
0:48:38 > 0:48:41Every tattoo tells a story.
0:48:41 > 0:48:43For Stanford University student Jacqueline Lin,
0:48:43 > 0:48:47the story is bittersweet.
0:48:47 > 0:48:51Lin was one of 50 sexual assault survivors invited to share the stage
0:48:51 > 0:48:56with Lady Gaga during the 2016 Oscars.
0:48:56 > 0:48:58While we were rehearsing, I remember at one point
0:48:58 > 0:49:03we were all crying and hugging each other, and someone just said,
0:49:03 > 0:49:06"We need to get a tattoo to commemorate this
0:49:06 > 0:49:08and to give us strength."
0:49:08 > 0:49:12Something to look at when you are feeling down,
0:49:12 > 0:49:17Lin says that a few days after she was assaulted by a friend
0:49:17 > 0:49:20in 2015, she told the Title IX office, which investigates sexual
0:49:20 > 0:49:21misconduct.
0:49:21 > 0:49:25I decided to report because I didn't want him to do it to anyone else,
0:49:25 > 0:49:28and later I did find out that he had done a lot of...
0:49:28 > 0:49:30A lot of harassment, stalking and also assault
0:49:30 > 0:49:36on someone else.
0:49:36 > 0:49:37What was that experience like?
0:49:37 > 0:49:38It was awful.
0:49:38 > 0:49:42My GPA dropped down, and I was fighting with the school
0:49:42 > 0:49:44back and forth every single hour, every single day.
0:49:44 > 0:49:46Lin, now an activist, wants greater transparency
0:49:46 > 0:49:49in the adjudication process.
0:49:49 > 0:49:54They're trying to cover up the number of sexual assault that
0:49:54 > 0:49:57happen on their campus, because that makes your university look safer.
0:49:57 > 0:50:04It's better for your public relations.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Stanford told Click:
0:50:08 > 0:50:11Stanford changed its Title IX process in 2016
0:50:11 > 0:50:15and has begun reporting case numbers.
0:50:15 > 0:50:17In the US, one in five women is sexually assaulted
0:50:17 > 0:50:19while in college.
0:50:19 > 0:50:22I was sexually assaulted by a friend.
0:50:22 > 0:50:27Over a year after that happened, I decided to report my assault,
0:50:27 > 0:50:31and I ended up finding the process of reporting to be more traumatic
0:50:31 > 0:50:33than the event itself.
0:50:33 > 0:50:36Feeling not believed by the people who I thought
0:50:36 > 0:50:42were there to protect me was incredibly destabilising.
0:50:42 > 0:50:44Jessica Ladd's ordeal spurred her to create Callisto,
0:50:44 > 0:50:52so survivors would have a way of reporting sexual assault.
0:50:56 > 0:50:59They can, one, just say what happened to them
0:50:59 > 0:51:02with a timestamp, doesn't have to go anywhere if they don't want to.
0:51:02 > 0:51:05Two, report electronically to the authorities at their school.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Or three, just save what happened to them for now, but report
0:51:08 > 0:51:11electronically if someone else names the same assailant.
0:51:11 > 0:51:15You can think of Callisto as an information escrow agency.
0:51:15 > 0:51:17It holds onto records, and only alerts schools
0:51:17 > 0:51:18when there's a match.
0:51:18 > 0:51:19Students often report to protect others.
0:51:19 > 0:51:23This matching feature helps do that by detecting repeat offenders.
0:51:23 > 0:51:26People might use different names, they may look different.
0:51:26 > 0:51:28How do you make sure you've got the right person?
0:51:28 > 0:51:32We ask victims to put in not just the name of their perpetrator,
0:51:32 > 0:51:35but also a series of unique identifiers.
0:51:35 > 0:51:40Currently, Facebook profiles are used to match.
0:51:40 > 0:51:44Some students want more ways to ID, and Callisto may add mobile numbers
0:51:44 > 0:51:46and e-mail addresses in the future.
0:51:46 > 0:51:4712 US colleges use Callisto.
0:51:47 > 0:51:49The University of San Francisco was the first.
0:51:49 > 0:51:54We knew students weren't reporting.
0:51:54 > 0:51:58If you look at our numbers from once we first started with Callisto,
0:51:58 > 0:52:00three years ago, to now, there is definitely
0:52:00 > 0:52:02an increase in reporting.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Callisto allows for our students to write what happened,
0:52:04 > 0:52:06to write about the incident.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08And sometimes just writing your perpetrator's name
0:52:08 > 0:52:10gives people power.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13Seeing the need for Callisto, Shanta Katipamula led an effort
0:52:13 > 0:52:16to bring it to Stanford.
0:52:16 > 0:52:24It's just available 24/7, and they have seen spikes in usage
0:52:25 > 0:52:28during times like spring break, when the Title IX office might not
0:52:28 > 0:52:31be available, but students wanted to file a report,
0:52:31 > 0:52:33or during the weekends, when no-one's staffing.
0:52:33 > 0:52:34With Callisto, survivors recount what happened
0:52:34 > 0:52:36at their own pace, privately.
0:52:36 > 0:52:43Often victims, including in in-person interviews,
0:52:43 > 0:52:46will want to seem credible.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49So they want to fill in all the details, and tell
0:52:49 > 0:52:50a wonderful story arc.
0:52:50 > 0:52:53But that's not how memory works, and that's particularly not how
0:52:53 > 0:52:56memory works in the event of trauma.
0:52:56 > 0:53:01So being able to allow somebody to say, I don't know this answer,
0:53:01 > 0:53:06I'm not sure of that.
0:53:06 > 0:53:08And only recording things that they are sure of,
0:53:08 > 0:53:12is really essential to make sure that that time stamped record isn't
0:53:12 > 0:53:13later used against them.
0:53:13 > 0:53:15Students must create a username, password and pass phrase that
0:53:15 > 0:53:16can't be recovered.
0:53:16 > 0:53:18Not quite a one-click sign up.
0:53:18 > 0:53:19That deters some users.
0:53:19 > 0:53:24For Callisto, it ensures privacy.
0:53:24 > 0:53:27Because then we'd be having to store the password,
0:53:27 > 0:53:29which means that we could potentially decrypt the data,
0:53:29 > 0:53:33and we want to make sure that even we can't view what's in the form.
0:53:33 > 0:53:35Since students choose whether to report assaults,
0:53:35 > 0:53:37some records are never seen by schools.
0:53:37 > 0:53:38But they're still useful.
0:53:38 > 0:53:40We provide our institutions with an aggregate data report
0:53:40 > 0:53:44that gives them a better sense of what is happening in that store
0:53:44 > 0:53:46record, what type of years are assault occuring,
0:53:46 > 0:53:48what type of assault is it?
0:53:48 > 0:53:50Is it involving alcohol, is it not?
0:53:50 > 0:53:51What class years are involved?
0:53:51 > 0:53:54Others are also working to make reporting less daunting.
0:53:54 > 0:53:59The spot app creates a record from the user's conversation
0:53:59 > 0:54:01with a chat bot, while All Voices will let them report electronically.
0:54:01 > 0:54:07Lin isn't sure electronic reporting would have changed her was handled,
0:54:07 > 0:54:08though she see its potential.
0:54:08 > 0:54:16What I think Callisto is great for is to track perpetrators.
0:54:18 > 0:54:21If they decide to apply to grad school, if they decide to transfer
0:54:21 > 0:54:23schools, I think that's where
0:54:23 > 0:54:26this can really come in, and have a very powerful effect.
0:54:26 > 0:54:30As we grow, we want to create one system, one database that allows us
0:54:30 > 0:54:33to track any perpetrator, even as they move through space and time.
0:54:33 > 0:54:36Which would give survivors a way to find out if their assailant
0:54:36 > 0:54:38is a repeat offender, something Ladd says she wonders
0:54:38 > 0:54:39to this day.
0:54:39 > 0:54:41Hello, and welcome to the Week in Tech.
0:54:41 > 0:54:45It was the week that Sony blocked the videogame Super Seducer
0:54:45 > 0:54:48from being released on the PlayStation 4.
0:54:48 > 0:54:52It's been criticised as too sleazy and for promoting toxic behaviour.
0:54:52 > 0:54:56Dyson announced it won't be making plug-in vacuum cleaners any more,
0:54:56 > 0:55:00they'll be developing their cordless battery range.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03Dating app Bumble has banned members from posing with guns
0:55:03 > 0:55:06in their profile pictures, though an exception is being made
0:55:06 > 0:55:09for military and law enforcement officers in uniform.
0:55:09 > 0:55:13Solving in three, two, one.
0:55:13 > 0:55:16And a robot managed to solve a Rubik's Cube in under a second.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18Blink and you'll miss it.
0:55:18 > 0:55:20Here it is again in slo-mo.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24It was the week that mobile companies Three and Vodafone came
0:55:24 > 0:55:28under investigation over the way they handle data on their network.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30Ofcom's looking at whether they're intentionally slowing down internet
0:55:30 > 0:55:35speeds while customers are abroad.
0:55:35 > 0:55:40And finally, Flippy the robot has been working at a restaurant in LA.
0:55:40 > 0:55:43Its job - yep, you've guessed it, is flipping burgers.
0:55:43 > 0:55:46It uses image recognition and heat sensing to cook.
0:55:46 > 0:55:50The company, Caliburger, is installing Flippy in 50 locations
0:55:50 > 0:55:52but it's not cheap at $60,000 a robot.
0:55:52 > 0:56:00Hope those burgers taste good!
0:56:01 > 0:56:02I think I've found him.
0:56:02 > 0:56:03That's not possible.
0:56:03 > 0:56:06If this gets out...
0:56:06 > 0:56:08We've bought ourselves a war.
0:56:08 > 0:56:13There's obviously a huge responsibility to deliver something
0:56:13 > 0:56:17for the audience of Blade Runner from the first one.
0:56:17 > 0:56:19The expectation visually, making everything look cool,
0:56:19 > 0:56:22was on our mind every day.
0:56:22 > 0:56:29The demands of Vegas and the expectation of making
0:56:30 > 0:56:33something that was based on what we know of Vegas now,
0:56:33 > 0:56:36but what it would be in the future.
0:56:36 > 0:56:39So we started with the US geodata, of the Vegas Valley
0:56:39 > 0:56:40and the city itself.
0:56:40 > 0:56:43So we had a simple model in the computer.
0:56:43 > 0:56:51Dennis Gassner, the art director of the film,
0:56:54 > 0:56:56had built a simple model of Vegas with significant buildings loosely
0:56:56 > 0:56:58placed around, and so forth.
0:56:58 > 0:57:01We took those two and sort of smashed them together initially.
0:57:01 > 0:57:05We looked for ways very subtly of how to bring in the human element
0:57:05 > 0:57:08into the shots, how to sell that scale, analysing some of Syd's work
0:57:08 > 0:57:11and how he used graphics on the face of his buildings,
0:57:11 > 0:57:14how he in a lot of his paintings used little human
0:57:14 > 0:57:15scale futuristic items.
0:57:15 > 0:57:19We built all that stuff and placed it around the city in an organised
0:57:19 > 0:57:22way to make it look like people were there at one time,
0:57:22 > 0:57:26even though we see no one, and that's what made it look real
0:57:26 > 0:57:28or look like a place people could have been in.
0:57:28 > 0:57:32To build Trash Mesa was based on the idea that everyone had moved
0:57:32 > 0:57:35to the city, and all the structures outside the city had been
0:57:35 > 0:57:36pretty much abandoned.
0:57:36 > 0:57:39There was no power, there was no water, nothing outside.
0:57:39 > 0:57:42So the trash that's generated from the city was dumped
0:57:42 > 0:57:43on the buildings outside the city.
0:57:43 > 0:57:47Again, we're trying to base things on as much reality as we could.
0:57:47 > 0:57:49So we started with the landscape of current-day California,
0:57:49 > 0:57:52from Los Angeles to San Diego, and we determined Iceland
0:57:52 > 0:57:55The sequence of the ships was based on the Bangladesh ship harvesting
0:57:55 > 0:57:58yard where they recapture all the metal, and so forth,
0:57:58 > 0:57:59that happens now.
0:57:59 > 0:58:02So a lot of the ships, and the pieces of the ships,
0:58:02 > 0:58:05and the idea of these little tiny human beings working
0:58:05 > 0:58:07on these massive structures sort of drove that look through
0:58:07 > 0:58:09the middle of that sequence.
0:58:09 > 0:58:12So it's a matter of grabbing all these components that were based
0:58:12 > 0:58:16on today's reality, scaling them so they have this massive
0:58:16 > 0:58:19relationship between K in his little spinner and this enormous landscape,
0:58:19 > 0:58:21and these huge mounds of trash.
0:58:21 > 0:58:26It was just a matter of pulling off that scale and that distance,
0:58:26 > 0:58:30which was just a massive undertaking, just in the amount
0:58:30 > 0:58:34of data and assets we had to build, and things we had to manage
0:58:34 > 0:58:35in itself to pull that off.
0:58:35 > 0:58:38The future of the species is finally unearthed.
0:58:38 > 0:58:46It is a brilliant film, absolutely superb.
0:58:46 > 0:58:48Blade Runner 2049, a well-deserved Oscar win.
0:58:48 > 0:58:51And that's it for the short version of Click this week.
0:58:51 > 0:58:54Don't forget, the full-length version is ready and waiting
0:58:54 > 0:58:56for you to watch right now on iPlayer.
0:58:56 > 0:59:00And we are always waiting to you on Twitter and on Facebook as well.
0:59:00 > 0:59:03Thanks for watching, and we'll see you soon.
1:00:23 > 1:00:27Hello, this is breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty.
1:00:27 > 1:00:31The government hold a second emergency meeting today over the
1:00:31 > 1:00:34suspected attempted murder of a former Russian spy and his daughter.
1:00:34 > 1:00:40-- the government will hold. Nearly 200 British troops have been
1:00:40 > 1:00:44deployed to assist in the investigation.
1:00:47 > 1:00:52Good morning. It is Saturday, March ten.
1:00:52 > 1:00:56A deal "very much in the making" - President Trump strikes a positive
1:00:56 > 1:00:58tone over a potential meeting with Kim Jong-un,
1:00:58 > 1:01:05but the White house says North Korea must take "concrete steps" before
1:01:05 > 1:01:06it can take place.
1:01:06 > 1:01:08Tackling the recruitment crisis in England's schools,
1:01:08 > 1:01:10the Education Secretary promises to cut teachers' workloads.
1:01:10 > 1:01:13In sport, a first medal for Britain at the Winter Paralympics,
1:01:13 > 1:01:16And it's a silver for visually impaired skiier Millie Knight
1:01:16 > 1:01:23and her guide Brett Wilde in the downhill skiing.
1:01:23 > 1:01:28With the season we have had, it has been quite a frustrating season. We
1:01:28 > 1:01:31haven't been getting the results we wanted. Coming back from concussion
1:01:31 > 1:01:37was really tough.Louise has the weather.Good morning. Some good
1:01:37 > 1:01:41news for this Saturday. Mild or all of us. There will be some rain
1:01:41 > 1:01:45around. More details on exactly where, coming up shortly.
1:01:45 > 1:01:46Good morning.
1:01:46 > 1:01:47First, our main story.
1:01:47 > 1:01:50The Home Secretary will chair a second meeting of the government's
1:01:50 > 1:01:52emergency Cobra committee today, as investigations continue
1:01:52 > 1:01:54into the poisoning of a former Russian spy.
1:01:54 > 1:01:57Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are both in a serious
1:01:57 > 1:01:59condition in hospital in Salisbury after being exposed
1:01:59 > 1:02:00to a nerve agent.
1:02:00 > 1:02:02Specialist troops trained in chemical warfare have been
1:02:02 > 1:02:10deployed to the city, as Andy Moore reports.
1:02:10 > 1:02:14Driven away by the Army last night, a police car possibly contaminated
1:02:14 > 1:02:15with traces of nerve agent.
1:02:15 > 1:02:17It had been parked outside Salisbury Hospital.
1:02:17 > 1:02:19During the day, military personnel in protective gear made
1:02:19 > 1:02:21it ready for transportation.
1:02:21 > 1:02:24This cemetery is another focus of the investigation.
1:02:24 > 1:02:27Sergei Skripal's wife is buried here, and there is a memorial stone
1:02:27 > 1:02:30for his son.
1:02:30 > 1:02:32Alexander's birthday was last week.
1:02:32 > 1:02:35Yulia had flown in from Russia to visit her father.
1:02:35 > 1:02:38Did they both come here to pay their respects
1:02:38 > 1:02:44before falling ill?
1:02:44 > 1:02:46We are told Yulia's responding better than
1:02:46 > 1:02:49her father to medical treatment, but they are both seriously ill.
1:02:49 > 1:02:52Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, also exposed to the nerve agent,
1:02:52 > 1:02:56is said to be making good progress.
1:02:56 > 1:02:58From the people of Salisbury, there is some
1:02:58 > 1:03:06understandable anxiety, but no sign of widespread fear.
1:03:07 > 1:03:10We are concerned about public safety, we have two young sons
1:03:10 > 1:03:11who often come into the centre.
1:03:11 > 1:03:14We want it to be safe here.
1:03:14 > 1:03:18If there have been no further cases that we have been told about,
1:03:18 > 1:03:21and I presume we would have been told about them,
1:03:21 > 1:03:23we can only trust the government and the local
1:03:23 > 1:03:26authorities they are handling it.
1:03:26 > 1:03:28I don't feel worried, I feel very safe
1:03:28 > 1:03:28in Salisbury.
1:03:28 > 1:03:30I assume everybody has it under control.
1:03:30 > 1:03:34I hope they get to the bottom of it so we can find out
1:03:34 > 1:03:35exactly what has been happening.
1:03:35 > 1:03:38On Tuesday, the Defence Secretary was just one of several senior
1:03:38 > 1:03:40ministers to attend the first meeting of Cobra
1:03:40 > 1:03:42dealing with this attack.
1:03:42 > 1:03:43This afternoon there will be a second
1:03:43 > 1:03:47meeting.
1:03:47 > 1:03:51Senior counterterrorism police officers will give an update
1:03:51 > 1:03:57on the progress of their investigation.
1:03:57 > 1:04:00But very little information is being shared with the public.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03President Trump has tweeted that a deal with North Korea is "very
1:04:03 > 1:04:07much in the making," which he said would be "very good for the world."
1:04:07 > 1:04:10The White House says he won't meet Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang takes
1:04:10 > 1:04:12concrete steps to end its nuclear programme.
1:04:12 > 1:04:14Our China correspondent Robin Brant is in Seoul.
1:04:14 > 1:04:16Good morning.
1:04:16 > 1:04:22Tell us a little bit about some of the reaction,
1:04:22 > 1:04:30firstly in Seoul itself?
1:04:32 > 1:04:36These South Koreans, their leadership, President Moon Jae-in,
1:04:36 > 1:04:40is hugely optimistic about the prospect of this meeting. He has
1:04:40 > 1:04:43already described it as a miracle and categorise it as a milestone on
1:04:43 > 1:04:47the road to realising peace. That is before it has even happened, even
1:04:47 > 1:04:52before we know where it will be or when it will be. But it is his
1:04:52 > 1:04:55government which brought about this meeting, and he is the man who has
1:04:55 > 1:04:58basically devoted his political life to trying to secure a long-term
1:04:58 > 1:05:02peace agreement between South Korea and North Korea. So that explains
1:05:02 > 1:05:08his attitude. I think there is a bit more reticence, particularly after
1:05:08 > 1:05:11the confusing message which came out of the White House overnight. Press
1:05:11 > 1:05:16secretary Sarah Sanders talking about the concrete steps that the US
1:05:16 > 1:05:20wants to see before the meeting takes place, but then, frankly,
1:05:20 > 1:05:26other more anonymous sources have made it clear that the President has
1:05:26 > 1:05:29accepted the invitation to meet Kim Jong-un and it will go ahead without
1:05:29 > 1:05:33any further preconditions. Of course what really need we to get into over
1:05:33 > 1:05:37the next few weeks is the logistics. Where it will happen, when it will
1:05:37 > 1:05:42happen. Also, what will be on the table? What does the US want to see?
1:05:42 > 1:05:53What is North Korea likely to offer? Robin, thank you.
1:05:53 > 1:05:58An 85-year-old man has died while waiting in an accident and emergency
1:05:58 > 1:06:00unit because of dangerous overcrowding, according to a
1:06:00 > 1:06:04hospital boss. He suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting to see a
1:06:04 > 1:06:09consultant at Northampton General Hospital. A leaked email from the
1:06:09 > 1:06:11trust's medical director describes his death as entirely due to
1:06:11 > 1:06:15dangerous overcrowding in the department. In a statement, the
1:06:15 > 1:06:19hospital said the long way to treatment was unacceptable. --
1:06:19 > 1:06:23weight for treatment. -- wait.
1:06:23 > 1:06:25Meanwhile, the National Rifle Association has mounted a legal
1:06:25 > 1:06:27challenge to new gun control measures in Florida,
1:06:27 > 1:06:30drawn up in the wake of a school shooting last month
1:06:30 > 1:06:32which left 17 dead.
1:06:32 > 1:06:35It says the new law, which will raise the legal age
1:06:35 > 1:06:36to purchase firearms, is unconstitutional.
1:06:36 > 1:06:37Chris Buckler has more.
1:06:37 > 1:06:39Standing side-by-side with the families of some of those
1:06:39 > 1:06:42killed inside a school, Florida's Governor signed new laws,
1:06:42 > 1:06:44legislation designed to try to prevent such shootings
1:06:44 > 1:06:47by restricting access to guns.
1:06:47 > 1:06:51The common sense things as a father, as a grandfather, as a Governor
1:06:51 > 1:06:54is we need to have law enforcement in our schools,
1:06:54 > 1:06:57we need to harden our schools, we need more mental health
1:06:57 > 1:07:00counselling, we need to make sure people that are going to do harm...
1:07:00 > 1:07:01Think about it, we know...
1:07:01 > 1:07:03These people are talking.
1:07:03 > 1:07:05The legislation is named after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas
1:07:05 > 1:07:07high school in Parkland.
1:07:07 > 1:07:11Last month 17 people, both staff and students,
1:07:11 > 1:07:13were shot dead here as others fled from classrooms
1:07:13 > 1:07:15in search of safety.
1:07:15 > 1:07:18Former pupil Nikolas Cruz is accused of carrying out the killings
1:07:18 > 1:07:21with an assault rifle he had bought when he was just 18.
1:07:21 > 1:07:25The new law raises the age at which somebody can buy a firearm
1:07:25 > 1:07:28in Florida from 18 to 21, and imposes a three-day waiting
1:07:28 > 1:07:29period for all sales.
1:07:29 > 1:07:32It allows some staff to be armed subject to training and school
1:07:32 > 1:07:38district approval, but it doesn't ban the type of semi-automatic
1:07:38 > 1:07:46weapons that were used in the Parkland shooting.
1:07:46 > 1:07:48We are done with your agenda to undermine voters'
1:07:48 > 1:07:54will and individual liberty in America.
1:07:54 > 1:07:58Alongside advertisers arguing that their members' voices are not
1:07:58 > 1:08:01being heard, the National Rifle Association is now bringing legal
1:08:01 > 1:08:04action to try to overturn the new legislation in Florida.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06The NRA claims that raising the age at which
1:08:06 > 1:08:10somebody can buy a gun breaches both the second Amendment and the 14th
1:08:10 > 1:08:17Amendment.
1:08:17 > 1:08:21It's an argument that may end up being fought out in Florida's
1:08:21 > 1:08:23courts, but it's only one part of a wider debate,
1:08:23 > 1:08:27and before the end of the month students will march in Washington
1:08:27 > 1:08:35to demand new countrywide restrictions on gun sales.
1:08:35 > 1:08:37The campaigners say they no longer want just sympathy,
1:08:37 > 1:08:45they want change.
1:08:46 > 1:08:50Teachers in England could see their workloads cut under proposals set
1:08:50 > 1:08:53out today by the education secretary. He will tell the head
1:08:53 > 1:08:57teachers' conference in Birmingham this morning that he wants to end
1:08:57 > 1:09:00what he calls pointless tasks, so teachers can focus on what really
1:09:00 > 1:09:03matters. It comes after research shows that had teachers have
1:09:03 > 1:09:07increased spending on supply teachers.
1:09:07 > 1:09:09This is Passmore's Academy in Essex.
1:09:09 > 1:09:11Like so many schools, it's struggling to recruit teachers.
1:09:11 > 1:09:14Classrooms around the country are now relying on agency supply
1:09:14 > 1:09:21teachers to cover permanent vacancies.
1:09:21 > 1:09:24We employ supply staff in our school, long-term supply
1:09:24 > 1:09:26staff who get to know the students.
1:09:26 > 1:09:29But when we have to use short-term supply, they don't know the systems
1:09:29 > 1:09:30or the students.
1:09:30 > 1:09:33There is a lack of trust that often comes, which can
1:09:33 > 1:09:35build up when you have a relationship.
1:09:35 > 1:09:38It is an erosion of standards.
1:09:38 > 1:09:42In a survey, 71% of head teachers who responded said they had
1:09:42 > 1:09:45had to increase the amount they spent on agency supply teachers
1:09:45 > 1:09:46over the past three years.
1:09:46 > 1:09:50Nearly one fifth spent between 6% and 10% of
1:09:50 > 1:09:52their budget on supply teachers.
1:09:52 > 1:09:56According to the most recent government figures,
1:09:56 > 1:09:59schools are spending £835 million per year on supply agencies.
1:09:59 > 1:10:01The issue isn't just recruitment, but stopping
1:10:01 > 1:10:03existing teachers leaving.
1:10:03 > 1:10:07For me it was a multitude of factors.
1:10:07 > 1:10:15I found the workload and the job itself
1:10:15 > 1:10:20consuming.
1:10:20 > 1:10:22I would work 65 or 70 hour weeks.
1:10:22 > 1:10:23Planning, marking, assessments.
1:10:23 > 1:10:29The actual teaching part probably took up the least amount of time.
1:10:29 > 1:10:31Today the government will announce a strategy
1:10:31 > 1:10:34drive to improve teachers' workloads, which includes no changes
1:10:34 > 1:10:36to the national curriculum for GCSEs and A-levels,
1:10:36 > 1:10:39and no new tests for primary schools - measures which the government says
1:10:39 > 1:10:44will attract new teachers and stop experienced ones leaving.
1:10:44 > 1:10:48If you've been watching this week, you'll have seen that we've been
1:10:48 > 1:10:50keeping up to date with Zoe Ball's Sport Relief challenge.
1:10:50 > 1:10:53Well there's some good news.
1:10:53 > 1:10:56After setting off from Blackpool on Monday morning, Zoe arrived
1:10:56 > 1:10:58in Brighton yesterday evening, completing her 350-mile cycle
1:10:58 > 1:11:03between the two towns.
1:11:03 > 1:11:06Yesterday was a tough day on the bike, battling big hills
1:11:06 > 1:11:09at the end, and riding into driving rain.
1:11:09 > 1:11:15But it's all been worth it - she's raised more than £500,000
1:11:15 > 1:11:19for Sport Relief.
1:11:19 > 1:11:25You can still donate online.
1:11:25 > 1:11:30I think she will be very relieved that it is done. A couple of sore
1:11:30 > 1:11:34days. More on the weather, and might will be here later with the weather.
1:11:34 > 1:11:42It is 7-11 a. -- Mike will be here later with the weather. It is
1:11:42 > 1:11:447.11am.
1:11:44 > 1:11:46So Donald Trump has tweeted overnight, and it looks
1:11:46 > 1:11:49like his historic meeting with the North Korean leader
1:11:49 > 1:11:50Kim Jong-un will definitely go ahead.
1:11:50 > 1:11:53It's being described as one of the biggest gambles
1:11:53 > 1:11:55of his presidency - but could it pay off?
1:11:55 > 1:11:58Let's talk now to Ramon Pacheco, a senior lecturer in international
1:11:58 > 1:12:00relations at King's College London.
1:12:00 > 1:12:03Thank you for joining us this morning. Are you surprised at how we
1:12:03 > 1:12:07have got to this point?I think I am surprised at how quickly this has
1:12:07 > 1:12:12come about. A month ago we were talking about a potential strike on
1:12:12 > 1:12:16North Korea and now we are talking about the highest level ever summit
1:12:16 > 1:12:21to in North Korea and the US. So I am surprised by how quickly these
1:12:21 > 1:12:28events have moved.What do we think, if this meeting does take place, or
1:12:28 > 1:12:34when it takes place, what will it look like?First of all, it will be
1:12:34 > 1:12:37historic, because no sitting US president has ever met with a North
1:12:37 > 1:12:42Korean leader. I think it will take place probably in May, because that
1:12:42 > 1:12:46is what South Korea is strongly suggesting. This would come after
1:12:46 > 1:12:54the into Korean summit. -- inter-Korean. So we could test the
1:12:54 > 1:12:58waters at that summit. North Koreans and Americans have met behind closed
1:12:58 > 1:13:01doors, but they haven't met officially in the past few years. So
1:13:01 > 1:13:05I think the meeting would have outcomes that these types of
1:13:05 > 1:13:09diplomatic meetings normally do not have.Is President Trump right to
1:13:09 > 1:13:14take responsibility for this, or take credit for this meeting?I
1:13:14 > 1:13:20think it makes sense for him to put sanctions on North Korea, they have
1:13:20 > 1:13:23had an effect. What I think most credit should go to South Korean
1:13:23 > 1:13:27President Moon Jae-in. He ran on a platform of inter-Korean
1:13:27 > 1:13:31reconciliation and engagement. He believes that North Korea should be
1:13:31 > 1:13:35speaking to the US. We have seen over the past 12 months he has
1:13:35 > 1:13:39worked very hard to make this happen, very openly over the past
1:13:39 > 1:13:43few weeks. It also secretly, last year. So must credit should go to
1:13:43 > 1:13:48the president of South Korea in this particular case.President Trump has
1:13:48 > 1:13:51said this would be good for the world in his latest tweet on the
1:13:51 > 1:13:54matter. What would be the consequences of a successful
1:13:54 > 1:14:04meeting?I think the US is going to ask for denuclearisation. An
1:14:04 > 1:14:08important aspect is what North Korea will ask for. North Korea is likely
1:14:08 > 1:14:11to ask a normalisation of diplomatic relations between the US and North
1:14:11 > 1:14:16Korea itself. I think it will ask economic support. And I think it
1:14:16 > 1:14:19will last forever security guarantee. This could be a peace
1:14:19 > 1:14:23treaty, because obviously the Korean War hasn't technically finished yet.
1:14:23 > 1:14:27It would probably also involves South Korea providing some kind of
1:14:27 > 1:14:30security guarantee to the North Korean regime. I think those are the
1:14:30 > 1:14:34demands we are likely to see coming from North Korea.Comparisons have
1:14:34 > 1:14:39been drawn when it comes to this summit with President Obama's
1:14:39 > 1:14:43administration and its work with Iran when it came to nuclear issues.
1:14:43 > 1:14:49Is that a fair comparison? I think it is fair in so far that both of
1:14:49 > 1:14:55them, North Korea has nuclear weapons and Iran wanted to develop
1:14:55 > 1:15:02them. --. But there were differences. North Korea has
1:15:02 > 1:15:05actually mastered the technology, it already has nuclear weapons, so it
1:15:05 > 1:15:09is targeting position is stronger than Iran. And secondly, this
1:15:09 > 1:15:15process is being driven by two bilaterals. North Korea and South
1:15:15 > 1:15:23Korea, and North Korea and the US. It is not a multi- culture --
1:15:23 > 1:15:26multilateral senior with many countries. We will see these two
1:15:26 > 1:15:30leaders meeting face-to-face. It also means there are more prospects
1:15:30 > 1:15:34of failure if something goes wrong during this meeting.Certainly
1:15:34 > 1:15:37something the world will be watching. Thank you for speaking to
1:15:37 > 1:15:38us.
1:15:38 > 1:15:42You are watching Breakfast from BBC News.
1:15:42 > 1:15:45The main stories this morning: 180 troops have been brought
1:15:45 > 1:15:47in to assist police after the attempted murder
1:15:47 > 1:15:52of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury.
1:15:52 > 1:15:55President Trump has reaffirmed that a deal with North Korea is very much
1:15:55 > 1:15:59in the making, after agreeing to meet Kim Jong-un.
1:15:59 > 1:16:03Also coming up in the programme: We will be looking back at nearly
1:16:03 > 1:16:06seven decades of the NME, as the iconic music magazine
1:16:06 > 1:16:14prints its last issue.
1:16:19 > 1:16:26I was thinking about NME this morning, I never bought it, but it
1:16:26 > 1:16:31always seemed to be for the cool kids.Yes, I used to bet all the
1:16:31 > 1:16:36time.Morning, Louise. -- by it all the
1:16:36 > 1:16:41time.Morning, Louise. -- by it all the time. Good morning, everybody.
1:16:41 > 1:16:45Milder for many of us, starting with this arc of yellow across the
1:16:45 > 1:16:49country denoting that the mild air tucking in behind the wet weather. I
1:16:49 > 1:16:52know there is some rain out there, but it is heading further north, and
1:16:52 > 1:16:55that is good news for Scotland, Northern Ireland and northern
1:16:55 > 1:16:59England where it has been pretty cold in the last few days. And the
1:16:59 > 1:17:03wet weather will go with it, unfortunately. One band of rain
1:17:03 > 1:17:07clearing the far north, another showery behind it. If we get rakes
1:17:07 > 1:17:10in the cloud and sunshine, temperatures are likely to respond.
1:17:10 > 1:17:14The rain fairly persistent across northern England, and Scotland. A
1:17:14 > 1:17:17window of fine weather behind through northern England and in the
1:17:17 > 1:17:21east Anglia, and that could allow those temperatures to climb. Either
1:17:21 > 1:17:25middle of the afternoon it is more likely to be wet snow to the high
1:17:25 > 1:17:30ground in Scotland. We are not too concerned about that as the mild air
1:17:30 > 1:17:33starts to kick in. Temperatures in double digits were Northern Ireland,
1:17:33 > 1:17:37despite the rain. A similar story in northern England but you can see it
1:17:37 > 1:17:41getting a little bit more showery into the afternoon. If the cloud
1:17:41 > 1:17:45breaks and we get the sunshine coming through, temperatures will be
1:17:45 > 1:17:48around 13 to 15 degrees. Not too bad, especially in comparison to
1:17:48 > 1:17:53this time last week. The rain will continue to push its way steadily
1:17:53 > 1:17:56north, behind it clearer skies. Because it is damp and with light
1:17:56 > 1:17:59winds, we could be mist and fog forming, especially across central
1:17:59 > 1:18:03and eastern areas. If that happens the fob could be slow to clear, so
1:18:03 > 1:18:07it could be a murky old start for Mother's Day, for those who may have
1:18:07 > 1:18:13forgotten. A foggy start first thing for some. The fog will lift and we
1:18:13 > 1:18:17will see some dry weather, a few showers into the south-west, some of
1:18:17 > 1:18:21them heavy and thundery better afternoon across northern England,
1:18:21 > 1:18:25Scotland and Northern Ireland, perhaps the rain lingering into the
1:18:25 > 1:18:29Northern Isles. But look at this, double digits. Nine to 12 degrees. I
1:18:29 > 1:18:33wanted to show you that we had a Weather Watcher's picture sent in
1:18:33 > 1:18:38with an amazing aurora last night, that is because of the clear skies
1:18:38 > 1:18:41in Scotland. And there is the potential to seeing the aurora again
1:18:41 > 1:18:45tonight. The bright yellow denotes a greater chance of seeing the aurora,
1:18:45 > 1:18:49but its bills down into the extreme north of Scotland, so for those
1:18:49 > 1:18:53lucky few, get out with the camera or just go out and enjoy it.
1:18:53 > 1:18:56Fines for drivers who stray into cycle boxes at traffic lights,
1:18:56 > 1:19:00or knock people off their bikes by opening car doors without looking
1:19:00 > 1:19:03- just two suggestions the Government is looking at to make
1:19:03 > 1:19:04roads safer for cyclists.
1:19:04 > 1:19:08Jayne McCubbin has been to talking to those who take to road on two
1:19:08 > 1:19:16wheels, to find out how safe they feel.
1:19:20 > 1:19:22Do you feel safe when you are on the bike?
1:19:52 > 1:19:53Depends on where I am.
1:19:53 > 1:19:57If I am riding near where I live, in sale, then yes.
1:19:57 > 1:19:58In the city centre?
1:19:58 > 1:19:58No.
1:19:58 > 1:20:02I think the problem is the cyclists and motorists are equally to blame
1:20:02 > 1:20:03and equally culpable, yes.
1:20:03 > 1:20:06They are both as bad as each other, and I cycle and I drive
1:20:06 > 1:20:07for a living.
1:20:07 > 1:20:10Being both a car driver and a cyclist I am
1:20:10 > 1:20:10respectful.
1:20:10 > 1:20:13Some cyclists cycle a bit inconsiderately themselves.I think
1:20:13 > 1:20:16a lot of motorists are very impatient with cyclists, and I think
1:20:16 > 1:20:20even taxi drivers are very impatient with cyclists. I think is a cyclist
1:20:20 > 1:20:23you feel quite vulnerable.I think rather than find them, it is an
1:20:23 > 1:20:26education thing and getting people to see both sides of things.
1:20:26 > 1:20:29So there are some thoughts from cyclists about the issues between
1:20:29 > 1:20:31motorists and cyclists on the roads.
1:20:31 > 1:20:33In a separate review, the Government is acknowledging
1:20:33 > 1:20:36cyclists that can also pose a danger on the roads,
1:20:36 > 1:20:38and is considering bringing in a new offence of death
1:20:38 > 1:20:39by dangerous cycling.
1:20:39 > 1:20:42Let's speak now to Matt Briggs, whose wife, Kim, was knocked over
1:20:42 > 1:20:45and killed by a cyclist, and Roger Geffen from Cycling UK.
1:20:45 > 1:20:49What do you make of these latest proposals? Of course, you have felt
1:20:49 > 1:20:54first-hand the impact of careless cyclist. Of course, with the tragic
1:20:54 > 1:20:59accident that your wife endure it. Good morning, thank you for having
1:20:59 > 1:21:03me on. Yes, I think the package of reforms which was announced
1:21:03 > 1:21:08yesterday, or proposed reforms, at the heart of it for me was the... I
1:21:08 > 1:21:11guess the first official, legal acknowledgement in the report that
1:21:11 > 1:21:15there is a gap in the law, as I had highlighted, and others before me
1:21:15 > 1:21:20have highlighted, and a recommendation to bring forward laws
1:21:20 > 1:21:26of causing death by dangerous cycling, and causing serious injury
1:21:26 > 1:21:31by the same.Did you want to explain a little bit more, that gap in the
1:21:31 > 1:21:36law which Matt is talking about, just to expand on a little bit.Matt
1:21:36 > 1:21:40makes the perfectly reasonable point that, in seeking a better alignment
1:21:40 > 1:21:43between cycling offences and motoring offences, we have no
1:21:43 > 1:21:47disagreement on that point. The question is how is it done? And the
1:21:47 > 1:21:50reason that isn't straightforward is because the legal framework on
1:21:50 > 1:21:55motoring offences is itself horrendously flawed, leading to huge
1:21:55 > 1:21:59inconsistencies, with hundreds, if not thousands, of road crash
1:21:59 > 1:22:05victims, many of them suffer additional massive distress when the
1:22:05 > 1:22:11legal system fails to address their cases with anything like the gravity
1:22:11 > 1:22:17that the offences require.What is the gap?Well, the gap is that there
1:22:17 > 1:22:21is no... There is an offence of causing death by dangerous driving,
1:22:21 > 1:22:28and now a fairly recent offence of causing death by careless cycling,
1:22:28 > 1:22:31sorry, dangerous and careless driving, but not for cycling. And
1:22:31 > 1:22:35the question is do we simply take those definitions of careless and
1:22:35 > 1:22:40dangerous cycling and copy and paste them... Taken from driving, copy and
1:22:40 > 1:22:44paste them in the cycling, because at the moment, if that is all we
1:22:44 > 1:22:48did, then all would we would be doing is replicating serious flaws
1:22:48 > 1:22:54which cause distress to the victims of motoring offences. Cycling UK and
1:22:54 > 1:22:59road users have been calling for a much wider overhaul. If we brought
1:22:59 > 1:23:03them into line with that, that would work so much better. And I really do
1:23:03 > 1:23:06hope that the government's review will provide an opportunity for that
1:23:06 > 1:23:11much wider review, because we have long been overdue for it.Mass, do
1:23:11 > 1:23:15you want to pick up on some of these issues for us. This is so close to
1:23:15 > 1:23:19your heart, and obviously Roger knows this story inside out. On the
1:23:19 > 1:23:22outside looking in, it seems like there is a commonsense element --
1:23:22 > 1:23:26Matt. If you are doing some in dangerous on the road, whether you
1:23:26 > 1:23:30are in a bicycle or a car, there should be a framework from which
1:23:30 > 1:23:34everyone works.Yes, Roger speaks to the wider issue, and he is clearly
1:23:34 > 1:23:38an expert on that, and I am always very careful to speak about what I
1:23:38 > 1:23:43know, and my experience, and my experience was that, a week after my
1:23:43 > 1:23:47wife was killed, I took a phone call from the police to say, we feel
1:23:47 > 1:23:50there has been criminal wrongdoing, but we effectively have nothing to
1:23:50 > 1:23:57charge the defendant with. And that is quite a shock in 2016, as it was
1:23:57 > 1:24:01then, in a sort of well ordered society. And the only thing... It
1:24:01 > 1:24:05took 18 months, and the only thing they could charge with was the 1861
1:24:05 > 1:24:11act, the manslaughter issue was quite unique. I think Roger does
1:24:11 > 1:24:15talk to a wider issue on our roads. We all share imperfect streets,
1:24:15 > 1:24:20imperfect roads, and I would always urge people to do it with a bit more
1:24:20 > 1:24:24civility. We have to look out for each other. I would just like to see
1:24:24 > 1:24:28a parity here, so that death by dangerous cycling, causing serious
1:24:28 > 1:24:33injury, which is probably the one which will be used far more often,
1:24:33 > 1:24:37is on the statute books.How long will this take, Roger?One of the
1:24:37 > 1:24:42difficulties we have here is that Brexit is taking so much of the
1:24:42 > 1:24:48government's attention that finding time for this is difficult. It was
1:24:48 > 1:24:53promised tours by government as long ago as 2014, and then they went cold
1:24:53 > 1:24:57on the issue. We really do need to get that wider review of road
1:24:57 > 1:25:00traffic laws, and there are so many other changes to road traffic laws
1:25:00 > 1:25:04that need to be made while we're at it. But I hope that this cycling
1:25:04 > 1:25:08safety review will look at other things, as well as the laws. It also
1:25:08 > 1:25:13needs to look at the safer design of street and junctions, it needs to
1:25:13 > 1:25:17look at safer design of lorries, why do the lorry drivers have so much
1:25:17 > 1:25:23harder time seeing cyclists and pedestrians than buses? We need
1:25:23 > 1:25:28better driver education, as well as backing that up a good enforcement
1:25:28 > 1:25:33of road traffic law for all road users. We are not in the business of
1:25:33 > 1:25:37defending irresponsible cycling. We want to see more as well at safer
1:25:37 > 1:25:41walking as well cycling as a result of this review.And Matt, clearly
1:25:41 > 1:25:46given what happened to your wife, the legislation is hugely important.
1:25:46 > 1:25:50I just wonder, on a personal note, given what happened to your family,
1:25:50 > 1:25:55what do you see when you look... You use the roads, what do you see day
1:25:55 > 1:26:00by day that kind of colour is the way you think about the relationship
1:26:00 > 1:26:06between cyclists and motorists? Well, it does seem to be... I have
1:26:06 > 1:26:13lived in London since I was 18, and there does seem to be a degree of
1:26:13 > 1:26:18ill temper between all road users, which I think is something that we
1:26:18 > 1:26:23do need to address. And I get the point. Cyclists get berated for when
1:26:23 > 1:26:28they jump red lights and behave in an antisocial manner, but that is
1:26:28 > 1:26:32because they are very visible. Motor drivers do the same, they look at
1:26:32 > 1:26:35their phones and they text while they are driving, but it is less
1:26:35 > 1:26:40visible. So I think there is a point to be made for all road users to
1:26:40 > 1:26:44treat each other with a degree of civility. But I would say, and I
1:26:44 > 1:26:47would come back to the fact that there should be a legal parity, and
1:26:47 > 1:26:51a clear legal framework for when things go wrong. It is more and more
1:26:51 > 1:26:54people are cycling, that is fantastic honour but with that comes
1:26:54 > 1:27:00a concomitant increase in risk. What I am saying is that when things do
1:27:00 > 1:27:03go wrong, there should be before anything else and effective legal
1:27:03 > 1:27:10remedy.Thank you for your time this morning, I really appreciate that.
1:27:10 > 1:27:15And Roger, thank you for joining us as well. Thank you for your
1:27:15 > 1:27:19comments. Jan has said she doesn't feel safe on the pavement or parts
1:27:19 > 1:27:22due to cyclists, and when they don't use bells to warn they are
1:27:22 > 1:27:28overtaking you. Some also say as motorists, we have to take a
1:27:28 > 1:27:31mandatory roadtest, and I think cyclists should have to take some
1:27:31 > 1:27:35form of test. And we will follow with interest what happens with the
1:27:35 > 1:27:40review as to what the government may or may not do in terms of
1:27:40 > 1:27:41legislation.
1:27:41 > 1:27:44More often than not after a baby is born, the umbilical cord
1:27:44 > 1:27:48is thrown away, and along with it a vital source of blood stem cells.
1:27:48 > 1:27:51This blood can be a lifeline for people with genetic disorders
1:27:51 > 1:27:54and cancers like leukaemia, but there has been a steady decline
1:27:54 > 1:27:55in donations since 2014.
1:27:55 > 1:27:57Steph has been finding out more.
1:27:57 > 1:28:01Now, when it comes to having a baby, donating the placenta is probably
1:28:01 > 1:28:05not something you have given much thought. But it is exactly what
1:28:05 > 1:28:11actress and my mate Kelly surely did. So why did you decide to donate
1:28:11 > 1:28:17cord blood?I found out that lots of places end up just chucking the cord
1:28:17 > 1:28:23a way, and these people actually keep the cord blood and they can
1:28:23 > 1:28:28harvest it for stem cells for use with blood cancer. So I had a boy
1:28:28 > 1:28:33and a girl, and the two centres, and we think that Louis was a match for
1:28:33 > 1:28:37somebody, which was really, really amazing.Here's a little legend,
1:28:37 > 1:28:43Louis, and Perl is. Only ten hospitals in the UK, like this one,
1:28:43 > 1:28:47have a dedicated team of cord collectors like Zoe, who is on hand
1:28:47 > 1:28:52to help mothers donate. So Zoe, this is where you collect the cord, isn't
1:28:52 > 1:28:57it? It is a bit much to show on telly, but explain what happens.So
1:28:57 > 1:29:00once we have got the placenta, we bring the placenta repair and carry
1:29:00 > 1:29:04out a collection. We insert the needle into the cord and drain as
1:29:04 > 1:29:08much blood from the placenta. The placenta is rich in stem cells, so
1:29:08 > 1:29:13the blood that we do collect from it can be used to transplant.So if you
1:29:13 > 1:29:16don't collect these placentas, they just get chucked away?It does, it
1:29:16 > 1:29:20only gets thrown in the bin. So we have record collection from what we
1:29:20 > 1:29:23have just collected, that is the blood we had just collected, and
1:29:23 > 1:29:28that is the blood we take from the placenta.Said it had literally just
1:29:28 > 1:29:34come from the woman's body.It has. So what happens now?It gets tested
1:29:34 > 1:29:38to see if there is stem cells in, and once that is done we determine
1:29:38 > 1:29:42if it is good enough or translate. Of course, it is a decision every
1:29:42 > 1:29:46family has to make for themselves. We popped in to see this woman just
1:29:46 > 1:29:50before her Caesarean to ask why she is going to donate.So would my
1:29:50 > 1:29:54first, I didn't even know about it, I didn't see any posters and wasn't
1:29:54 > 1:29:58told about it. And then with the second, the midwife mentioned it at
1:29:58 > 1:30:01one of my community midwife chats, and then a lot of my friends who
1:30:01 > 1:30:05were pregnant in Sunderland were like, oh, that is amazing, how have
1:30:05 > 1:30:09you done that? And we want to do it, but then they couldn't because they
1:30:09 > 1:30:14don't do it in Newcastle or Sunderland.It is a no-brainer for
1:30:14 > 1:30:18me.It is something I keep saying as well, it has become a catchphrase.
1:30:18 > 1:30:24It is a no-brainer.Yes, totally. But having dedicated collectors on
1:30:24 > 1:30:27call 24/7 is costly. NHS Blood and Transplant save East deliberately
1:30:27 > 1:30:32target hospitals and communities that often struggled to find a stem
1:30:32 > 1:30:38cell match. Look, just a couple of hours after we left, Sunny arrived,
1:30:38 > 1:30:42and before he had opened his little eyes, he had already done something
1:30:42 > 1:30:46good in the world. Now, that is worth reading about.
1:30:46 > 1:30:47Stay with us.
1:30:47 > 1:30:55Headlines coming up.
1:31:20 > 1:31:23Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie

1:31:23 > 1:31:24Good morning.
1:31:24 > 1:31:26Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
1:31:26 > 1:31:29The Home Secretary will chair a second meeting of the government's
1:31:29 > 1:31:31emergency Cobra committee today, as investigations continue

1:31:34 > 1:31:37Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are both in a serious
1:31:37 > 1:31:39condition in hospital in Salisbury after being exposed

1:32:23 > 1:32:25An 85-year-old man has died while waiting in an Accident
1:32:25 > 1:32:28and Emergency unit because of "dangerous overcrowding," according
1:32:28 > 1:32:29to a hospital boss.
1:32:29 > 1:32:32The man suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting to see a senior
1:32:32 > 1:32:33consultant at Northampton General Hospital.
1:32:33 > 1:32:36A leaked email from the trust's medical director describes his death
1:32:36 > 1:32:39as "due entirely to dangerous overcrowding in the department."
1:32:39 > 1:32:41In a statement the hospital said the long wait for
1:32:41 > 1:32:43treatment was "unacceptable."
1:32:43 > 1:32:46The National Rifle Association has mounted a legal challenge to new gun
1:32:46 > 1:32:50control measures in Florida drawn up in the wake of a school shooting
1:32:50 > 1:32:52last month which left 17 people dead.
1:32:52 > 1:32:55It says the new law, which will raise the legal age
1:32:55 > 1:32:57to purchase firearms, but also allows the training
1:32:57 > 1:33:05and arming of school staff, is unconstitutional.
1:33:05 > 1:33:07Teachers in England could see their workloads cut under proposals
1:33:07 > 1:33:10being set out to David why the education secretary.
1:33:10 > 1:33:13He will tell a head teachers' conference in Birmingham that long
1:33:13 > 1:33:16working hours and too much red tape have become a barrier to recruiting
1:33:16 > 1:33:18and retaining staff.
1:33:18 > 1:33:21For five successive years recruitment targets for teaching
1:33:21 > 1:33:24have been missed, and schools have complained about the cost
1:33:24 > 1:33:26and disruption involved in hiring temps.
1:33:26 > 1:33:29Later today, in his first speech to heads and teachers since becoming
1:33:29 > 1:33:31Education Secretary, Damian Hinds says he will cut
1:33:31 > 1:33:34teachers' workload in an attempt to resolve a recruitment crisis
1:33:34 > 1:33:35in England's schools.
1:33:35 > 1:33:39He's been in the job just one day, but he's not up to it,
1:33:39 > 1:33:41and has already been replaced by human resources.
1:33:41 > 1:33:43'Flippy,' the burger-flipping robot had been serving customers

1:33:46 > 1:33:47But he's out already.
1:33:47 > 1:33:50Because he was just too slow and couldn't turn
1:33:50 > 1:33:52the burgers quickly enough.
1:33:52 > 1:33:57He is not living up to his name. It is a brutal world, the world of erg
1:33:57 > 1:34:06are flipping. -- burger.My guess is that he could handle the flipping of
1:34:06 > 1:34:10the burgers, but is he couldn't handle the cheese.I think that's
1:34:10 > 1:34:16right. You will never finds a robot replacing sports presenters.I
1:34:16 > 1:34:21didn't notice any difference in the way you said that.Do you know why a
1:34:21 > 1:34:25robot couldn't do it? Sport is all about excitement and emotion. Flippy
1:34:25 > 1:34:30would never get excited about Pyeongchang. Nearly night, it is
1:34:30 > 1:34:34about her journey and all the emotion. We talk to her On Breakfast
1:34:34 > 1:34:38last year, in the Alps, she had a concussion and she wasn't even sure
1:34:38 > 1:34:42if she would be able to make the Paralympics. But now she has won the
1:34:42 > 1:34:48UK's first medal at a Winter Olympics, -- at the Winter Olympics.
1:34:48 > 1:34:52It could be the start of a medal rush, not just for Britain,
1:34:52 > 1:34:55but for Millie Knight and her guide Brett Wilde =
1:34:55 > 1:34:57because they still have four events to compete in.
1:34:57 > 1:35:00Let's get some reaction now in Pyeongchang and speak
1:35:00 > 1:35:01to our reporter Kate Gray.
1:35:01 > 1:35:01Hi, Kate.
1:35:01 > 1:35:05A great start for 19-year-old Millie and a boost for the whole team.
1:35:05 > 1:35:09It is about that journey, isn't it, where she has come from to get the
1:35:09 > 1:35:12medal?Absolutely. It has been a really tough journey. Last time they
1:35:12 > 1:35:15were here in Pyeongchang she got concussion, after crushing across
1:35:15 > 1:35:19the line. So they have now come back here and faced their demons and they
1:35:19 > 1:35:23won a silver medal in the downhill, the speed event, the toughest event.
1:35:23 > 1:35:27They have got that silver medal, the first medal for Great Britain in the
1:35:27 > 1:35:30first medal event of this games. They were over the moon. This is
1:35:30 > 1:35:33what they said earlier.It is absolutely fantastic. This time last
1:35:33 > 1:35:36year I sustained quite a severe concussion on the slope, when I
1:35:36 > 1:35:40crashed into the finish line. And to now crossed the line today is a
1:35:40 > 1:35:44Paralympic silver-medallist, it is amazing.Were you nervous at the
1:35:44 > 1:35:48start? Was that going through your mind at all?I certainly was
1:35:48 > 1:35:51nervous, but I guess that means I care about it. The moment we
1:35:51 > 1:35:58started, all the nerves went.And Brett, you were guiding her down the
1:35:58 > 1:36:01mountain, but there were some incidents with other athletes?Yes,
1:36:01 > 1:36:05it was quite challenging to rain. There was no proper point where you
1:36:05 > 1:36:09could rest. The conditions were hard. We had a game plan and we
1:36:09 > 1:36:14stuck to it. We are glad that we are back in the next.Is there a slight
1:36:14 > 1:36:17disappointment that it was not a gold medal?Definitely not. With the
1:36:17 > 1:36:21season we had, it has been quite a frustrating season. We haven't been
1:36:21 > 1:36:25getting the results we wanted. And for me, coming back from concussion
1:36:25 > 1:36:30was difficult. This is the highest result we have had all season. And
1:36:30 > 1:36:35so for it to come at the Paralympic Games is wonderful.Clearly very
1:36:35 > 1:36:43happy. They will be competing in the Super G tomorrow, another tough
1:36:43 > 1:36:49event. They will be up against teammates Kelly Gallagher and Millie
1:36:49 > 1:36:54-- Mena Fitzpatrick. Great Britain is against the world champions
1:36:54 > 1:36:57Norway in the wheelchair curling today. It is a highly contested
1:36:57 > 1:37:03event. They are currently leading, they took the lead early on and they
1:37:03 > 1:37:06are now going into the final end. Team GB currently leads 4-2. Very
1:37:06 > 1:37:13tight. We will keep you updated. As you can tell, Team GB is off to a
1:37:13 > 1:37:17great start on the first day of the Paralympic Games.Yes, one down, and
1:37:17 > 1:37:23what is it, six to ten medals that they want? Plenty of time for those.
1:37:23 > 1:37:27And well done for coping with that lost three wind, up high on the
1:37:27 > 1:37:33mountain in Pyeongchang. -- blustery wind.
1:37:33 > 1:37:36Now in the last few hours, victory for England's cricketers.
1:37:36 > 1:37:39Jonny Bairstow hit a century, as England beat New Zealand by 7
1:37:39 > 1:37:42wickets in Christchurch to win the one-day series, 3-2.
1:37:42 > 1:37:43Chris Woakes bowled brilliantly, taking 3-32.
1:37:43 > 1:37:46Adil Rashid also claimed three wickets as the Black Caps,
1:37:46 > 1:37:49were bowled out for 223 and England reached their target with the loss
1:37:49 > 1:37:53of just 3 wickets.
1:37:53 > 1:37:57The Six Nations Championship could be decided today.
1:37:57 > 1:38:00If results go their way, Ireland will take the title.
1:38:00 > 1:38:03They're the only side that can do the Grand Slam,
1:38:03 > 1:38:06winning every match - and if they beat Scotland and take
1:38:06 > 1:38:09a bonus point, England must do the same in France to take
1:38:09 > 1:38:11the championship to the final weekend.
1:38:11 > 1:38:15We just need to make sure that we play from the first minute
1:38:15 > 1:38:18and that we don't let any distractions or any little things
1:38:18 > 1:38:21or even a dropped ball in the warmup, or the bus breaking
1:38:21 > 1:38:23down, or anything left field like that, but that
1:38:23 > 1:38:24doesn't catch us.
1:38:24 > 1:38:32This game is all about experience.
1:38:32 > 1:38:35So, they are up against a Scotland team full of confidence
1:38:35 > 1:38:36after beating England.
1:38:36 > 1:38:38Scotland are not actually out of the running yet.
1:38:38 > 1:38:42They are third on the table.
1:38:42 > 1:38:45Victory for Scotland would mean a whole new selection
1:38:45 > 1:38:48of permutations.
1:38:48 > 1:38:51If we want to challenge for the title we need
1:38:51 > 1:38:52to win this game.
1:38:52 > 1:38:57They are going well.
1:38:57 > 1:39:00They are a very good side.
1:39:00 > 1:39:08So it will be a huge test for us, one which we have to meet head-on.
1:39:09 > 1:39:13So, today, as we speak, three teams could win the championship?
1:39:13 > 1:39:17Absolutely. If Scotland win against Ireland, they are still in the
1:39:17 > 1:39:20running. England would at least know what they need to do, because they
1:39:20 > 1:39:24will know the island score by the time they kick off in Paris. The
1:39:24 > 1:39:28problem for England is that they might have to score four tries and
1:39:28 > 1:39:32pick up a bonus point. Their boss says he will not be rolling the
1:39:32 > 1:39:32dice.
1:39:32 > 1:39:33I'm not a gambler.
1:39:33 > 1:39:34I'm not a speculator.
1:39:34 > 1:39:37The only thing I need to worry about is catching England to beat
1:39:37 > 1:39:39France.
1:39:39 > 1:39:40That's the only thing we can control.
1:39:40 > 1:39:42We play really well, we get a bonus point.
1:39:42 > 1:39:44We don't play well, we get beaten.
1:39:44 > 1:39:47We play above average, we win the game.
1:39:47 > 1:39:50Manchester City may be flying ahead in the Premier League title
1:39:50 > 1:39:52but the fight for second place is warming up nicely.
1:39:52 > 1:39:55Two of the contenders meet at lunchtime, with Manchester United
1:39:55 > 1:39:56facing Liverpool at Old Trafford.
1:39:56 > 1:40:00They played out a goalless draw when they last met back in October,
1:40:00 > 1:40:02with United's defence tying Liverpool's attack in knots.
1:40:02 > 1:40:04It is not a battle of systems or philosophies.
1:40:04 > 1:40:08It is two very good football teams facing each other.
1:40:08 > 1:40:10When they are attacking, I hope all my players
1:40:10 > 1:40:12are involved in defending.
1:40:12 > 1:40:15If we are parking the bus in that moment, we park the bus,
1:40:15 > 1:40:23I have no problem with that.
1:40:25 > 1:40:28In the Scottish Premiership, we have Rangers against Celtic
1:40:28 > 1:40:29in the Old Firm derby tomorrow.
1:40:29 > 1:40:33Last night, Hibernian moved 12 points clear of Hearts with a 2-0
1:40:33 > 1:40:34win at Easter Road.
1:40:34 > 1:40:38Hibs are now just a point behind third-placed Aberdeen.
1:40:38 > 1:40:40British number one Johanna Konta said defeat in the second
1:40:40 > 1:40:44round at Indian Wells was one of the tougher losses of her career.
1:40:44 > 1:40:46She lost in straight sets to 18-year-old Marketa Vondrousova,
1:40:46 > 1:40:48ranked 54th in the world.
1:40:48 > 1:40:51Konta has won only eight matches since she reached the semi-finals
1:40:51 > 1:40:59at Wimbledon last summer.
1:41:00 > 1:41:02Rory McIlroy's Masters preparations suffered a setback after another
1:41:02 > 1:41:04poor round at the Valspar Championship in Florida.
1:41:04 > 1:41:08He won't be back for the weekend after carding a 73 to finish
1:41:08 > 1:41:09on five over par.
1:41:09 > 1:41:13Meanwhile Tiger Woods is two shots off the pace after a round of 68.
1:41:13 > 1:41:15Canada's Corey Conners leads on six under par.
1:41:15 > 1:41:16The continuing controversy surrounding Team Sky doesn't seem
1:41:20 > 1:41:24So in less than a month's time the Commonwealth Games begin in
1:41:24 > 1:41:29Australia. All the countries will be sending out their teams to the Gold
1:41:29 > 1:41:35Coast.Are you going?Yes. I know. Very lucky.I heard a rumour you
1:41:35 > 1:41:39will be doing the sports bulletins from the beach?Yes, every morning,
1:41:39 > 1:41:43from Wednesday the fourth of April, until it ends, we will be bringing
1:41:43 > 1:41:51you the sport bulletins from the beach of the Gold Coast.What is
1:41:51 > 1:41:53sports presenter attire when presenting a bulletin from the
1:41:53 > 1:41:58beach?Linen, apparently. Lots of linen. Pastel shades, I think.
1:41:58 > 1:42:04Anyway, look. In the lead up to these games I have been meeting some
1:42:04 > 1:42:07of the athletes and the medal hopes from some of the home nations. --
1:42:07 > 1:42:09all of the home nations.
1:42:09 > 1:42:12This week I've been to Wales to meet an extraordinary table tennis player
1:42:12 > 1:42:13who's only 11.
1:42:13 > 1:42:16Your first year at secondary school is a big step in life.
1:42:16 > 1:42:20But maybe not if you're Anna, who at the age of 11
1:42:20 > 1:42:23is about to represent her country on the other side of the world,
1:42:23 > 1:42:26and at the same time, rewrite the history books.
1:42:26 > 1:42:32MUSIC.
1:42:32 > 1:42:35Now, these pictures haven't been sped up.
1:42:35 > 1:42:38This is how good Anna is.
1:42:38 > 1:42:42At school, in her lunch hour, she doesn't give anybody a chance,
1:42:42 > 1:42:45as she builds up to competing at the senior Commonwealth Games in
1:42:45 > 1:42:49Australia.
1:42:49 > 1:42:50It's really good, it's exciting.
1:42:50 > 1:42:51I am a bit nervous.
1:42:51 > 1:42:56Seeing new countries, and making new friends.
1:42:56 > 1:42:59It is mesmerising watching Anna, who just remember, only recently
1:42:59 > 1:43:01graduated primary school and has already graduated
1:43:01 > 1:43:04to the Commonwealth games, thought to be the youngest athlete
1:43:04 > 1:43:05in history to do so.
1:43:05 > 1:43:11No shame, John!
1:43:11 > 1:43:14It is breathtaking how fast years, it is remarkable.
1:43:14 > 1:43:17We're very lucky as a school to have her here.
1:43:17 > 1:43:25I think she's going to do her school proud and do Wales proud as well.
1:43:27 > 1:43:31She's really nice and we didn't know at first that she was this good
1:43:31 > 1:43:34when we were in primary, it's really amazing how she is just
1:43:34 > 1:43:3911 years old and she beats all the adult players.
1:43:39 > 1:43:41Anna started playing table tennis when she was five
1:43:41 > 1:43:45and because there are not enough players of her standard in Wales,
1:43:45 > 1:43:48she has recently spent time training in China against the best
1:43:48 > 1:43:50in the world.
1:43:50 > 1:43:56OK, I'm very nervous about this.
1:43:56 > 1:43:58This humiliation is the result of most of Anna's gains.
1:43:58 > 1:44:06This is what she's going to try to do to all those...
1:44:07 > 1:44:09That spin!
1:44:09 > 1:44:14Look at that!
1:44:14 > 1:44:20This is what Anna will be doing, I'm sure, to many senior players
1:44:20 > 1:44:21on the Gold Coast.
1:44:21 > 1:44:27You have to be really fast.
1:44:27 > 1:44:28Spin!
1:44:28 > 1:44:30That is crazy.
1:44:30 > 1:44:33Sorry.
1:44:33 > 1:44:36You have to be, like, thinking quick, which ball you're
1:44:36 > 1:44:39going to hit, what you are going to do, plan it before
1:44:39 > 1:44:43you play your point and then you rest for three seconds and then
1:44:43 > 1:44:44you play again.
1:44:44 > 1:44:48Just think about it.
1:44:48 > 1:44:51Anna now spends over three hours a day perfecting her shots
1:44:51 > 1:44:55because she wants to show the world she is not going to the Gold Coast
1:44:55 > 1:44:57just for the experience.
1:44:57 > 1:45:00I'm going there to try to win.
1:45:00 > 1:45:07What would it mean to get a medal?
1:45:07 > 1:45:09It would mean a lot.
1:45:09 > 1:45:12There's no pressure, you just have to play your best.
1:45:12 > 1:45:19It is going to be big. I saw some videos of last time. So many people!
1:45:19 > 1:45:24What a talent, at 11 years of age. Brilliant.And she is beating all
1:45:24 > 1:45:28the under 18s across Wales. Now she is taking on the world.
1:45:28 > 1:45:30Here is Louise with a look at this morning's weather.
1:45:30 > 1:45:33Here is Louise with a look at this morning's weather.
1:45:33 > 1:45:39It looks from that picture that we will have a little bit more warmth
1:45:39 > 1:45:43today.A little bit. Do you remember just a week ago we were talking
1:45:43 > 1:45:47about the beast from the east, and we had dark blue across the country?
1:45:47 > 1:45:51We have the spark of yellow which means the milder air pushing in from
1:45:51 > 1:45:55the south. There is some rain to go with it as well, so if you are
1:45:55 > 1:45:59heading off to watch your kids play rugby or football this morning, it
1:45:59 > 1:46:02will be pretty soggy underfoot. Wet Cat times as well. Because of these
1:46:02 > 1:46:06weather fronts which a crossing tied into this area of low pressure. One
1:46:06 > 1:46:10moving its way into Scotland as we speak, another one pushing into the
1:46:10 > 1:46:14south-west. Sandwiched between the two there will be a little bit of
1:46:14 > 1:46:17brightness, not a bad start across Wales, the Midlands, down into the
1:46:17 > 1:46:21south-east at the moment, but more showery rain heading in your
1:46:21 > 1:46:24direction. The rain as it pushes its way steadily north into Scotland
1:46:24 > 1:46:28will contain little bit of wet, sleet and snow, but milder air is
1:46:28 > 1:46:32starting to dig in behind it. So it we are not too worried about that,
1:46:32 > 1:46:36but it will be a wet afternoon for much of Scotland. The same for
1:46:36 > 1:46:40Northern Ireland, and here is the next band of rain, albeit showery.
1:46:40 > 1:46:44Because it is showery, if we get decent breaks and sunshine coming
1:46:44 > 1:46:48through, temperatures will respond. 13 to 15 degrees quite widely, and
1:46:48 > 1:46:52if we get over 15 degrees, it will be the warmest day of the year so
1:46:52 > 1:47:05far. A little ray of sunshine for you this Saturday. That rain will
1:47:13 > 1:47:16push its way steadily north and linger in the Northern Isles.
1:47:16 > 1:47:19Elsewhere, clear skies and lighter winds through the night will allow
1:47:19 > 1:47:23some fog to form, and some of that will be a little bit of a nuisance
1:47:23 > 1:47:26I'm afraid for your Sunday morning, especially in sheltered eastern
1:47:26 > 1:47:29areas. Be prepared for a murky old Mother's Day morning. Hopefully that
1:47:29 > 1:47:33fog will lift and conditions will improve. We are likely to see some
1:47:33 > 1:47:36showers in the south-west, some of them will be heavy and possibly
1:47:36 > 1:47:39thundery. The best of the drier weather will be further north, but
1:47:39 > 1:47:41generally speaking those temperatures widely into double
1:47:41 > 1:47:45digits for all. The last time we had double digits in Scotland way back
1:47:45 > 1:47:49on 20 fabric, so it looks as though things could certainly be a lot
1:47:49 > 1:47:50worse this weekend. -- 20 February.
1:47:50 > 1:47:53We will be back with the headlines at 8am.
1:47:53 > 1:47:55But first, it is time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed.
1:47:55 > 1:47:55But first, it is time for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed.
1:47:55 > 1:47:58Hello and welcome to Newswatch, with me, Samira Ahmed.
1:47:58 > 1:48:01The attempted murder of a double agent on British soil -
1:48:01 > 1:48:03did BBC News report it proportionately and fairly?
1:48:03 > 1:48:06And was the Oscars ceremony an excuse for trivial gushing over
1:48:06 > 1:48:11celebrities, or a welcome dose of glamour?
1:48:11 > 1:48:15The week began with some news that could have come from a John le Carre
1:48:15 > 1:48:19novel, described here at the top of Monday's News at Ten by Fiona
1:48:19 > 1:48:20Bruce.
1:48:20 > 1:48:23A former Russian spy is critical in hospital after a suspected
1:48:23 > 1:48:24poisoning in Salisbury.
1:48:24 > 1:48:27Sergei Skripal, convicted of spying on Russia for the UK,
1:48:27 > 1:48:29has been living in Britain for nearly eight years.
1:48:29 > 1:48:32Police in protective clothing have sealed the area after the Russian
1:48:32 > 1:48:35and a young woman were found unconscious on a bench.
1:48:35 > 1:48:38We'll bring you the latest, as police and doctors race
1:48:38 > 1:48:41to establish if this is another example of a Russian being poisoned
1:48:41 > 1:48:44on UK soil.
1:48:44 > 1:48:47That last suggestion of Russian involvement was examined many times
1:48:47 > 1:48:50during the week, but without any conclusive proof being put forward,
1:48:50 > 1:48:58and that prompted one Twitter user to complain that...
1:49:03 > 1:49:06Evidence of Russian involvement wasn't the only thing lacking.
1:49:06 > 1:49:09Despite plenty of airtime being devoted to the story,
1:49:09 > 1:49:11actual news developments were slow to emerge.
1:49:11 > 1:49:17A viewer called John e-mailed...
1:49:27 > 1:49:30Meanwhile, Mike Barnes had a different point to make.
1:49:53 > 1:49:56If some thought there should be a presumption of innocence
1:49:56 > 1:49:58for Russia over the nerve agent attack, then for others,
1:49:58 > 1:50:00the same was true of Bradley Wiggins.
1:50:00 > 1:50:03The Olympic gold-medal-winning cyclist was found by a House
1:50:03 > 1:50:06of Commons Select Committee on Monday to have crossed an ethical
1:50:06 > 1:50:10line in taking asthma drugs to enhance his performance.
1:50:10 > 1:50:14Richard Conway reported on the story for the News at Six.
1:50:14 > 1:50:17He's a sporting icon, a Tour de France winner,
1:50:17 > 1:50:19and Britain's most decorated Olympian.
1:50:19 > 1:50:22But a damning report has accused Sir Bradley Wiggins of unethical
1:50:22 > 1:50:25behaviour over his use of drugs that MPs say were taken to boost
1:50:25 > 1:50:32performance, and not just for medical need.
1:50:32 > 1:50:35John Sheffield got in touch with us to say...
1:51:00 > 1:51:03Now, the main purpose of BBC News is to inform its audience,
1:51:03 > 1:51:08but is there such a thing as too much information?
1:51:08 > 1:51:11That is the charge that's been made over the past week by viewers
1:51:11 > 1:51:14of the BBC News Channel, some of whom were watching
1:51:14 > 1:51:16the Prime Minister's speech about Brexit last Friday,
1:51:16 > 1:51:19and found their eyes drawn to the right side of the screen,
1:51:19 > 1:51:21as we look at it.
1:51:21 > 1:51:24We are clear that, as we leave the EU, free movement of people
1:51:24 > 1:51:27will come to an end, and we will control the number
1:51:27 > 1:51:30of people who come to live in our country.
1:51:30 > 1:51:33But UK citizens will still want to work and study in EU countries,
1:51:33 > 1:51:38just as EU citizens will want to do the same here.
1:51:38 > 1:51:40There's quite a lot going on on the screen there,
1:51:40 > 1:51:43the "breaking news" banner with the description
1:51:43 > 1:51:45of what Theresa May is saying, the scrolling ticker below that,
1:51:45 > 1:51:48summarising other news stories, tweets reacting to the speech,
1:51:48 > 1:51:51oh, and the speech itself.
1:51:51 > 1:51:54Susan Rowe was one of those who found it all too much.
1:51:54 > 1:51:57The live speech reaction panel on the right-hand side
1:51:57 > 1:51:59of the screen, with random comments from journalists and political
1:51:59 > 1:52:01commentators, rendered it almost impossible to concentrate
1:52:01 > 1:52:06on the contents of the speech.
1:52:06 > 1:52:08There was already comment at the bottom of the screen.
1:52:08 > 1:52:13Please give the British public the chance to listen and watch
1:52:13 > 1:52:15without being constantly interrupted by random comments
1:52:15 > 1:52:17from all and sundry, which pretty much repeat
1:52:17 > 1:52:25each other anyway.
1:52:30 > 1:52:33The practice of splitting the screen in this way is also used
1:52:33 > 1:52:35during the live broadcast of Prime Minister's Questions,
1:52:35 > 1:52:38and last week James Turner objected to the presence of this tweet
1:52:38 > 1:52:41from Carrie Symonds, who was the Conservative Party's
1:52:41 > 1:52:46director of communications, a fact not made clear on air.
1:52:46 > 1:52:53And, after this week's PMQs Adrian David also thought...
1:53:02 > 1:53:05Do let us know what you think of those tweets appearing on screen.
1:53:05 > 1:53:07Added value, or just a distraction?
1:53:07 > 1:53:10If you think it's the latter, you may like to know that
1:53:10 > 1:53:14Prime Minister's Question Time is shown not just on the News Channel,
1:53:14 > 1:53:16but also on BBC Two, where it appears full-frame,
1:53:16 > 1:53:19without tweets running along the side.
1:53:19 > 1:53:22There will be details of how to contact us at the end
1:53:22 > 1:53:26of the programme.
1:53:26 > 1:53:29Sunday night saw the big night of the year for the film industry.
1:53:29 > 1:53:32Some love watching the Oscars for the glitz, the outfits,
1:53:32 > 1:53:35or the drama.
1:53:35 > 1:53:38For others, as we'll see, the appeal is not so great.
1:53:38 > 1:53:40For Breakfast on Monday morning, Rebecca Jones was outside
1:53:40 > 1:53:42the post-ceremony Vanity Fair party, collaring some
1:53:42 > 1:53:43of the night's winners.
1:53:43 > 1:53:45Yes, morning everyone from Hollywood.
1:53:45 > 1:53:48And I have a Great British success story here, and the headline
1:53:48 > 1:53:49reads for itself.
1:53:49 > 1:53:50From Hollyoaks to Hollywood.
1:53:50 > 1:53:54I've got the winners of the best short film for The Silent Child,
1:53:54 > 1:53:55Rachel Shenton, Chris Overton, from Britain!
1:53:55 > 1:53:56Show us your Oscars.
1:53:56 > 1:54:01Yes.
1:54:01 > 1:54:06And they've already got your names, already engraved on them.
1:54:06 > 1:54:09David Baker also felt the BBC's news values were wrong on Monday morning.
1:54:37 > 1:54:45And Rosemary Smith agreed.
1:54:55 > 1:54:58On Tuesday, BBC News reported on calls from public health
1:54:58 > 1:55:00officials for Britain to go on a diet.
1:55:00 > 1:55:03Health editor Hugh Pym set up the numbers for the 6:00pm
1:55:03 > 1:55:06and 10:00pm bulletins.
1:55:06 > 1:55:08Here's the obesity problem.
1:55:08 > 1:55:11A child's diet might include breakfast with nearly 500 calories,
1:55:11 > 1:55:14a packed lunch with more than 1,000, an after-school snack at around 250,
1:55:14 > 1:55:18and pasta and a pudding for dinner, with more than 800 calories.
1:55:18 > 1:55:20But that's nearly 600 above the recommended limit
1:55:20 > 1:55:28for children, which is like eating an extra meal a day.
1:55:31 > 1:55:34Most television reports on obesity like this one show footage
1:55:34 > 1:55:37of the bodies, but not the faces, of overweight members of the public.
1:55:37 > 1:55:41One Newswatch viewer, a medical doctor who preferred
1:55:41 > 1:55:43to remain anonymous, e-mailed us recently
1:55:43 > 1:55:50with his thoughts about that practice.
1:56:15 > 1:56:19Hugh Pym was also on the air on Thursday with some more
1:56:19 > 1:56:22statistics about what has become a familiar story this winter,
1:56:22 > 1:56:26about cancelled non-urgent surgery in English hospitals.
1:56:26 > 1:56:29Figures out today reveal the scale of the cancellations.
1:56:29 > 1:56:31In December, there were nearly 27,000 fewer routine operations
1:56:31 > 1:56:34carried out in England than the same month a year earlier.
1:56:34 > 1:56:40In January, there was a drop of nearly 14,500.
1:56:40 > 1:56:43And, for the most recent two-week period, bed occupancy in hospitals
1:56:43 > 1:56:48at more than 95% was the highest this winter.
1:56:48 > 1:56:55Steve Gordon wrote to us with his reaction.
1:57:23 > 1:57:26Finally, Andy Cross is a keen watcher of BBC News programmes,
1:57:26 > 1:57:29but has a frustration he shared with us recently.
1:57:29 > 1:57:32He recorded this video to explain.
1:57:32 > 1:57:35Could you please explain the logic of scheduling news programmes
1:57:35 > 1:57:38at the same time on different channels every night?
1:57:38 > 1:57:42I watch the News at Ten on BBC One, and then I'm invited to either
1:57:42 > 1:57:45watch my local news or turn over to Newsnight, starting at the same
1:57:45 > 1:57:48time on BBC Two.
1:57:48 > 1:57:50As someone who enjoys news programmes, it's so frustrating
1:57:50 > 1:57:54to have to either choose between two programmes or record one for later,
1:57:54 > 1:57:56especially as there's always a taster of what's to come
1:57:56 > 1:58:00on Newsnight given at the end of the news.
1:58:00 > 1:58:08Newsnight has testimonies from the women at the centre.
1:58:08 > 1:58:09If this is two competing channels, I'd completely understand,
1:58:09 > 1:58:10but they're both BBC.
1:58:10 > 1:58:13To add insult to injury, Question Time then competes
1:58:13 > 1:58:18with Newsnight every Thursday, as well.
1:58:18 > 1:58:22Don't BBC One and BBC Two talk to each other, and why only
1:58:22 > 1:58:24on the later programming?
1:58:24 > 1:58:26BBC Two offers an alternative to the News at Six.
1:58:26 > 1:58:29The later scheduling is a pain to everyone, really.
1:58:29 > 1:58:32If you like news programmes, you can't watch them all,
1:58:32 > 1:58:34and if you don't like news programmes, you can't get
1:58:34 > 1:58:36away from them.
1:58:36 > 1:58:39It's very frustrating.
1:58:39 > 1:58:42Thank you for that, and to all of those who got in touch
1:58:42 > 1:58:43with us this week.
1:58:43 > 1:58:46We welcome all your opinions on BBC News and current affairs
1:58:46 > 1:58:49and broadcast as many as we can, whether sent in by e-mail,
1:58:49 > 1:58:50telephone or video.
1:58:50 > 1:58:53You can leave a message on our phone line...
1:58:53 > 1:58:57Or send us an e-mail...
1:58:57 > 1:59:00You can also post your views on Twitter...
1:59:00 > 1:59:04And do have a look at our website, where you can watch any programmes
1:59:04 > 1:59:06we've made over the past year.
1:59:06 > 1:59:07That's all from us.
1:59:07 > 1:59:10We'll be back to hear your thoughts about BBC News coverage
1:59:10 > 1:59:11again next week.
1:59:11 > 1:59:13Goodbye.
2:00:11 > 2:00:17Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
2:00:17 > 2:00:20The attempted murder of a former Russian spy and his daughter.
2:00:20 > 2:00:22The government will hold a second emergency meeting today.
2:00:22 > 2:00:24Nearly 200 military experts in chemical warfare have been
2:00:24 > 2:00:30deployed to help the investigation.
2:00:40 > 2:00:42Good morning, it's Saturday 10th March.
2:00:42 > 2:00:45Also this morning...
2:00:45 > 2:00:51A deal "very much in the making" - President Trump strikes a positive
2:00:51 > 2:00:54tone over a potential meeting with Kim Jong-un, but the White
2:00:54 > 2:00:57but the White House says North Korea must take "concrete steps"
2:00:57 > 2:00:59before it can take place.
2:00:59 > 2:01:01Tackling the recruitment crisis in England's schools -
2:01:01 > 2:01:05the Education secretary promises to cut teachers' workloads.
2:01:05 > 2:01:07In sport, a first medal for Britain at the winter Paralympics.
2:01:07 > 2:01:11And it's a silver for visually impaired skier Millie Knight
2:01:11 > 2:01:14and her guide Brett Wild in the downhill skiing.
2:01:14 > 2:01:17It's absolutely fantastic.
2:01:17 > 2:01:19This time last year I sustained quite a severe concussion on this
2:01:19 > 2:01:23slope where I crashed into the finish line.
2:01:23 > 2:01:26And to now cross the line today, as Paralympic silver
2:01:26 > 2:01:30medallists, is amazing.
2:01:30 > 2:01:32And Louise has the weather...
2:01:32 > 2:01:33Good morning.
2:01:33 > 2:01:34Some good news for this Saturday.
2:01:34 > 2:01:37Mild for all of us, but there will be some rain around.
2:01:37 > 2:01:41More details on exactly where coming up shortly.
2:01:41 > 2:01:42First, our main story.
2:01:42 > 2:01:46The Home Secretary will chair a second meeting of the government's
2:01:46 > 2:01:48emergency Cobra committee today, as investigations continue
2:01:48 > 2:01:51into the poisoning of a former Russian spy.
2:01:51 > 2:01:54Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are both in a serious
2:01:54 > 2:01:56condition in hospital in Salisbury after being exposed
2:01:56 > 2:01:59to a nerve agent.
2:01:59 > 2:02:01Specialist troops trained in chemical warfare have been
2:02:01 > 2:02:06deployed to the city, as Andy Moore reports.
2:02:06 > 2:02:09Driven away by the Army last night, a police car possibly contaminated
2:02:09 > 2:02:13by traces of nerve agent.
2:02:13 > 2:02:17It had been parked outside Salisbury Hospital.
2:02:17 > 2:02:20During the day, military personnel in protective gear had made it
2:02:20 > 2:02:22ready for transportation.
2:02:22 > 2:02:27This cemetery is another focus of the investigation.
2:02:27 > 2:02:29Sergei Skripal's wife is buried here, and there's also
2:02:29 > 2:02:31a memorial stone for his son.
2:02:31 > 2:02:33Alexander's birthday was last week.
2:02:33 > 2:02:35Yulia had flown in from Russia to visit her father.
2:02:35 > 2:02:37Did they both come here to pay their respects
2:02:37 > 2:02:45before they fell ill?
2:02:47 > 2:02:49We're told Yulia is responding better than her father
2:02:49 > 2:02:51to medical treatment, but they are both seriously ill.
2:02:51 > 2:02:54Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey, who was also exposed to the nerve
2:02:54 > 2:02:56agent, is said to be making good progress.
2:02:56 > 2:02:58From the people of Salisbury, there's some understandable anxiety,
2:02:58 > 2:03:02but no sign of widespread fear.
2:03:02 > 2:03:04We're concerned about public safety.
2:03:04 > 2:03:07We've got two young sons who often come into the centre.
2:03:07 > 2:03:11So, you know, we want it to be safe here.
2:03:11 > 2:03:14If there have been no further cases that we have been told about -
2:03:14 > 2:03:18and I presume we would have been told about - then we can only trust
2:03:18 > 2:03:19the government and trust the local authorities
2:03:19 > 2:03:21that they are handling the case.
2:03:21 > 2:03:22I don't feel worried.
2:03:22 > 2:03:24I feel very safe in Salisbury.
2:03:24 > 2:03:26I assume that everybody has got it under control.
2:03:26 > 2:03:30I just hope they get to the bottom of it so we can actually find out
2:03:30 > 2:03:32exactly what's been happening.
2:03:32 > 2:03:35On Tuesday, the Defence Secretary was just one of several senior
2:03:35 > 2:03:37ministers to attend the first meeting of Cobra dealing
2:03:37 > 2:03:38with this attack.
2:03:38 > 2:03:40This afternoon, there will be a second meeting.
2:03:40 > 2:03:44Senior counterterrorist police officers will give
2:03:44 > 2:03:48an update on the progress of their investigation.
2:03:48 > 2:03:51But very little information is being shared with the public.
2:03:51 > 2:03:56Andy Moore, BBC News.
2:03:56 > 2:03:58Let's go to Salisbury now, and our Home Affairs
2:03:58 > 2:04:04Correspondent Dominic Casciani.
2:04:04 > 2:04:06Bring us up to date with developments. Troops are still on
2:04:06 > 2:04:15the streets there.Yes, not quite on the streets, I presume overnight
2:04:15 > 2:04:19they have been in their barracks and having a hearty breakfast ahead of
2:04:19 > 2:04:22what is probably going to be quite challenging and full day for them.
2:04:22 > 2:04:27Last night we saw the car removed from the hospital, a police car, the
2:04:27 > 2:04:31first of many vehicles are expected be taken away. We think their next
2:04:31 > 2:04:35focus could possibly be ambulances that were used in first response
2:04:35 > 2:04:39because of the possibility that they are also contaminated with traces of
2:04:39 > 2:04:44the nerve agent, or just as a precautionary measure, it taken away
2:04:44 > 2:04:49to decontaminate them. Police also want the be our media, specialist
2:04:49 > 2:04:55units with chemical warfare training, to take away other objects
2:04:55 > 2:05:00that might be of interest. I think we saw the first sign of that. --
2:05:00 > 2:05:07police also want the Army here. They to the graveyard where Skripal's
2:05:07 > 2:05:16wife and son have gravestones. They took away a sealed yellow tub, which
2:05:16 > 2:05:21may have been flowers, which they left before they fell ill. There is
2:05:21 > 2:05:28some military activity going on through the day. The Zizzi pizza
2:05:28 > 2:05:32rear behind the investigation is behind large screens. Police will be
2:05:32 > 2:05:35there for some time if they have put up these semipermanent screens.
2:05:35 > 2:05:40There is a lot of activity up at Sergei Skripal's house. We expect to
2:05:40 > 2:05:44see recovery work and items taken away. As for the Cobra meeting, it's
2:05:44 > 2:05:48really not clear whether or not the Home Secretary will come out to say
2:05:48 > 2:05:54anything new. I don't think we should hold our breath to hear about
2:05:54 > 2:05:57who did it and why they did it yet. Dominic Casciani reporting from
2:05:57 > 2:05:59Salisbury.
2:05:59 > 2:06:02President Trump has tweeted that a deal with North Korea is "very
2:06:02 > 2:06:04much in the making", which he said would be
2:06:04 > 2:06:05very good for the world.
2:06:05 > 2:06:08The White House says he won't meet Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang
2:06:08 > 2:06:09takes concrete steps to end its nuclear programme.
2:06:09 > 2:06:11Our correspondent Robin Brant is in Seoul.
2:06:11 > 2:06:19What's the feeling in South Korea?
2:06:21 > 2:06:32South Korea's leader is the man his government engineered this meeting,
2:06:32 > 2:06:34or certainly the agreement to the meeting. He is hugely optimistic
2:06:34 > 2:06:38about what might come from it. Yesterday he referred to the
2:06:38 > 2:06:43prospect of these two men sitting down, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un
2:06:43 > 2:06:48as a miracle. He has described it as a milestone on the road to realising
2:06:48 > 2:06:52a peace agreement. That is before it has even happen, before we have had
2:06:52 > 2:06:57a time and place for the meeting. And there is naturally as well, for
2:06:57 > 2:07:00those who are more cynical and realistic, they might say the chance
2:07:00 > 2:07:05of anything substantial coming from the meeting in the past, the North
2:07:05 > 2:07:09Koreans have promised to freeze their nuclear weapons and missile
2:07:09 > 2:07:14programme, but go back on that when they don't get what they want. In
2:07:14 > 2:07:18terms of the message overnight from Washington, after a startling
2:07:18 > 2:07:21agreement from the president to sit down with Kim Jong-un, it has been
2:07:21 > 2:07:25confusing. On the one hand we have the White House press secretary
2:07:25 > 2:07:28saying the meeting would only go ahead if there were concrete steps
2:07:28 > 2:07:34coming out from North Korea in terms of denuclearisation. That is the
2:07:34 > 2:07:38first time we heard of preconditions. We were told the
2:07:38 > 2:07:41president had just agreed to sit down with Kim Jong-un without
2:07:41 > 2:07:46preconditions at all, but we had this text, rather this tweet from
2:07:46 > 2:07:50the president talking about a deal being very much in the making and if
2:07:50 > 2:07:54completed, he said, it would be a very good one for the world. He then
2:07:54 > 2:07:59went on to say that plans are being made. It's clear from the White
2:07:59 > 2:08:01House, despite the confusing message, that this will happen by
2:08:01 > 2:08:08the end of May. Details about any kind of agenda and who is willing to
2:08:08 > 2:08:12offer what, we are a long way from that.Robin, thank you.
2:08:12 > 2:08:15An 85-year-old man has died while waiting in an Accident
2:08:15 > 2:08:18and Emergency unit because of "dangerous overcrowding",
2:08:18 > 2:08:21according to a hospital boss.
2:08:21 > 2:08:24The man suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting to see a senior
2:08:24 > 2:08:27consultant at Northampton General Hospital.
2:08:27 > 2:08:30A leaked email from the trust's medical director describes his death
2:08:30 > 2:08:32as "due entirely to dangerous overcrowding in the department".
2:08:32 > 2:08:34In a statement the hospital said the long wait for
2:08:34 > 2:08:37treatment was unacceptable.
2:08:37 > 2:08:41The National Rifle Association has mounted a legal challenge to new gun
2:08:41 > 2:08:44control measures in Florida drawn up in the wake of a school shooting
2:08:44 > 2:08:46last month which left 17 people dead.
2:08:46 > 2:08:51It says the new law, which will raise the legal age
2:08:51 > 2:08:53to purchase firearms, but also allows the training
2:08:53 > 2:08:57and arming of school staff, is unconstitutional.
2:08:57 > 2:09:05Teachers in England could see their workloads cut,
2:09:07 > 2:09:09under proposals being set out today by the Education
2:09:09 > 2:09:11Secretary, Dominic Hinds.
2:09:11 > 2:09:13He will tell a headteachers' conference in Birmingham that long
2:09:13 > 2:09:16working hours and too much red tape are becoming a barrier to recruiting
2:09:16 > 2:09:17and retaining staff.
2:09:17 > 2:09:20If you've been watching this week, you'll have seen that we've
2:09:20 > 2:09:22been keeping up to date with Zoe Ball's Sport
2:09:22 > 2:09:23Relief challenge.
2:09:23 > 2:09:24Well, there's some good news.
2:09:24 > 2:09:26She crossed the line last night!
2:09:26 > 2:09:29We should warn you that there's some flash photography in the pictures
2:09:29 > 2:09:30we're about to show you.
2:09:30 > 2:09:32Zoe arrived in Brighton after cycling 350 miles from Blackpool.
2:09:32 > 2:09:35Yesterday was a tough day with lots of big
2:09:35 > 2:09:41hills and heavy rain.
2:09:41 > 2:09:44Welcoming her to the end of her journey.
2:09:44 > 2:09:45She's raised more than half-a-million
2:09:45 > 2:09:52pounds for Sport Relief.
2:09:53 > 2:09:57We saw her along the way. She struggled on a couple of days, I
2:09:57 > 2:10:02think.Can you imagine the saddle sore, well done Zoe
2:10:02 > 2:10:05think.Can you imagine the saddle sore, well done Zoe.
2:10:05 > 2:10:08Teachers have long said that red tape and bureaucracy have been
2:10:08 > 2:10:10getting in the way of them doing their jobs.
2:10:10 > 2:10:13Over the last five years retention targets for teachers have been
2:10:13 > 2:10:15missed, as more of them leave the profession.
2:10:15 > 2:10:17Now the Education Secretary will lay down his plans
2:10:17 > 2:10:19to cut teachers' workload, in an attempt to resolve
2:10:19 > 2:10:23the recruitment crisis in England's schools.
2:10:23 > 2:10:28We can speak now to the head of Ofsted, Amanda Spielman.
2:10:28 > 2:10:32Good morning to you and thank you for your time this morning. Talk to
2:10:32 > 2:10:39me about this red tape and workload. Can you nail that's down a bit, what
2:10:39 > 2:10:43are we talking about?We are talking about a lot of different things,
2:10:43 > 2:10:47partly about government policies and the accountability system,
2:10:47 > 2:10:51performance tables and inspection. We are talking about the
2:10:51 > 2:10:54consequences, how people use them, how local authorities govern us and
2:10:54 > 2:10:58what they do in response to an inspection. We are talking about
2:10:58 > 2:11:01things like the fear of litigation and how high school leaders act and
2:11:01 > 2:11:06what they do in response to pressures and manage their schools.
2:11:06 > 2:11:11What you have said quite a few things there,you have said quite a
2:11:11 > 2:11:15few things there which I can't relate to the day to day doses of
2:11:15 > 2:11:23being a teacher.Things like what you choose to teach.
2:11:23 > 2:11:25you choose to teach. Does it have every teacher planning out every
2:11:25 > 2:11:31teacher planning every lesson in detail. The thing is how these
2:11:31 > 2:11:37things are made up can make an enormous difference.Lets try and be
2:11:37 > 2:11:41specific. You talk about company data structures to do with marketing
2:11:41 > 2:11:45and how the work is set out. And how much you have to put into that. Is
2:11:45 > 2:11:50it possible to make that simpler while retaining standards?I think
2:11:50 > 2:11:54so. And there are many schools that are doing really interesting and
2:11:54 > 2:11:57innovative marketing policies that are very clearly reducing the
2:11:57 > 2:12:00workload and absolutely getting the focus on the right things for
2:12:00 > 2:12:04children. What I'm trying to do today in my speech is talk about all
2:12:04 > 2:12:11the ways that without accident we can bump up the workload for
2:12:11 > 2:12:15teachers. Ofsted is a part of that. I'm talking about what we are doing
2:12:15 > 2:12:20and saying and most importantly, what we are saying we don't need to
2:12:20 > 2:12:23see around these things that can become giant pieces of workload for
2:12:23 > 2:12:28schools.My sons get the impression that you think, as head of Ofsted,
2:12:28 > 2:12:32the chief inspector of schools, is Ofsted part of the problem?We are
2:12:32 > 2:12:38all part of the problem. It's fair to say. We have been for a couple of
2:12:38 > 2:12:41years now, more than a couple of years, and are continuing to do
2:12:41 > 2:12:45everything we can to defuse. An important message from us is that if
2:12:45 > 2:12:49you are running a good school, if every week things are running well,
2:12:49 > 2:12:53and you let Ofsted see the school as it actually runs normally, then the
2:12:53 > 2:12:56inspection outcome will be good. That's the core message for
2:12:56 > 2:13:03teachers.Talk to us about teacher recruitment. Is there one glaringly
2:13:03 > 2:13:07obvious possibility to getting more people, and the best people into
2:13:07 > 2:13:12teaching, which is to pay them more money.That's a whole different
2:13:12 > 2:13:16angle. We do not look at the money side of schools.But in reality it's
2:13:16 > 2:13:20not a different argument. What you are trying to achieve is the best
2:13:20 > 2:13:24people to being teachers. That's what we want, the best people being
2:13:24 > 2:13:28teachers, who can do it most effectively. One of the arguments
2:13:28 > 2:13:31around this come you can't disassociate these things, is that
2:13:31 > 2:13:35if you offer greater salaries, maybe alongside some of the changes you
2:13:35 > 2:13:39are talking about, that could get the result you want.At the end of
2:13:39 > 2:13:42the day, you could pay people all the money in the world, but if the
2:13:42 > 2:13:47job is not fulfilling and rewarding them people are not going to want to
2:13:47 > 2:13:51do it. The first thing to do is make sure the job is as doable as it can
2:13:51 > 2:13:54be and the value for children is as high as it can be for all the effort
2:13:54 > 2:13:59that goes into it.How are we going to know whether any of these ideas,
2:13:59 > 2:14:03either from the Health Secretary or from yourselves at Ofsted, how will
2:14:03 > 2:14:07we know whether any of this is making a difference?The proof will
2:14:07 > 2:14:13be in the pudding. There are a lot of surveys of teacher workload. Lots
2:14:13 > 2:14:16of data about teacher recruitment and retention. It will be easy to
2:14:16 > 2:14:21track and see how things are moving. What will be the statistic that
2:14:21 > 2:14:26tells us whether it is working?When you say it is working, there are a
2:14:26 > 2:14:30whole series of things. I'm talking today about seven or eight things
2:14:30 > 2:14:34that we are doing and have done. The Secretary of State will talk about
2:14:34 > 2:14:39things from their perspective.Let me steer you in a certain direction.
2:14:39 > 2:14:43If we are talking about teacher recruitment, for example, one of the
2:14:43 > 2:14:46key issues everyone is thinking about, a lot of people leaving the
2:14:46 > 2:14:52profession for any number of reasons, how can we judge this? You
2:14:52 > 2:14:56seem to be saying there are eight different ways we can judge it. What
2:14:56 > 2:15:00about teacher recruitment? How soon, if these policies the Education
2:15:00 > 2:15:06Secretary and you are talking about, if they brought in, how soon could
2:15:06 > 2:15:09we see a result?That's not a question I could answer. We are
2:15:09 > 2:15:15talking about time for changes to work through systems. It's always a
2:15:15 > 2:15:18little uncertain, especially when you have to shift perceptions...
2:15:24 > 2:15:29Time is so crucial in education. Anyone with a child in a school
2:15:29 > 2:15:33today who has eight more years of education, they do not have time.
2:15:33 > 2:15:38That will be their child's education over. It is frustrating when people
2:15:38 > 2:15:43who are involved in education say, just give it a length of time, we do
2:15:43 > 2:15:47not know how long it will take but that could be someone's entire
2:15:47 > 2:15:51education.I did not say give it a length of time, I said I could not
2:15:51 > 2:15:55say how long it would take for this to work through. That is exactly why
2:15:55 > 2:16:05we're
2:16:29 > 2:16:30doing
2:16:30 > 2:16:33You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
2:16:33 > 2:16:35The main stories this morning: 180 troops have been
2:16:35 > 2:16:38brought in to assist police after the attempted murder
2:16:38 > 2:16:40of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury.
2:16:40 > 2:16:43President Trump has reaffirmed that a deal with North Korea is very much
2:16:43 > 2:16:45in the making after agreeing to meet Kim Jong-un.
2:16:45 > 2:16:53Here's Louise with a look at this morning's weather.
2:17:15 > 2:17:17everything we can right now are not waiting.Doing everything we can,
2:17:17 > 2:17:20today, and we have been doing it for a couple of years and we are
2:17:20 > 2:17:28carrying on doing it as fast as we can.
2:17:37 > 2:17:46There will be a pulse of wet weather. It's a bit of a messy start
2:17:46 > 2:17:49to Saturday. The heaviest and most persistent rain through Northern
2:17:49 > 2:17:53Ireland and into northern England and into Scotland. Behind it,
2:17:53 > 2:17:56showery outbreaks of rain. That could allow the sunshine to come
2:17:56 > 2:18:03through and temperatures to climb. A mix of snow in there but we're not
2:18:03 > 2:18:10concerned about it with milder air pushing in. Into Northern Ireland
2:18:10 > 2:18:14and the Lake District through the afternoon. The cloud breaks up and
2:18:14 > 2:18:18we will get some sunshine. 15 degrees and may be higher, and if
2:18:18 > 2:18:22that happens, it could be the warmest day of the year so far. I
2:18:22 > 2:18:26know it's only March but we are trying to add a glass is half full
2:18:26 > 2:18:30story to the weather at the moment. The rain continues to push its way
2:18:30 > 2:18:35into the far north of Scotland overnight. The winds full white, the
2:18:35 > 2:18:41skies are clear and it will be quite murky with patchy outbreaks of fog.
2:18:41 > 2:18:44Tomorrow morning, particularly through eastern England, a murky
2:18:44 > 2:18:47start to Mother's Day. Hopefully that will lift away and we will see
2:18:47 > 2:18:52a better picture into the afternoon. As the head through the day, we keep
2:18:52 > 2:18:56the risk of rain in the Northern Isles, but elsewhere we will have
2:18:56 > 2:19:00showers breaking out across the West, possibly heavy and thundery in
2:19:00 > 2:19:04places as they drift across the North. But double digit
2:19:04 > 2:19:09temperatures, the last time we had that in Scotland was the 20th of
2:19:09 > 2:19:14February. That little ray of sunshine, we had some clearer skies
2:19:14 > 2:19:19earlier. It looks as though there was a chance to see the Aurora last
2:19:19 > 2:19:24night in Scotland. It looks tonight as if there is the chance to see it
2:19:24 > 2:19:30again. The bright yellow is that greater chances but some of the
2:19:30 > 2:19:33Green shows that across the northern islands and the far north of
2:19:33 > 2:19:36Scotland come you might get a chance to see it. Get some photographs and
2:19:36 > 2:19:46I would love to show them tomorrow morning.
2:19:55 > 2:19:56More often than not after a baby's born,
2:19:56 > 2:20:00the umbilical cord is thrown away, and along with it a vital source
2:20:00 > 2:20:00of blood stem cells.
2:20:00 > 2:20:03This blood can be a lifeline for people with genetic disorders
2:20:03 > 2:20:06and cancers like Leukaemia, but there's been a steady decline
2:20:06 > 2:20:07in donations since 2014.
2:20:07 > 2:20:12Steph's been finding out more.
2:20:12 > 2:20:19Now, when it comes to having a baby, donating the placenta is probably
2:20:19 > 2:20:21not something you'll have given much thought.
2:20:21 > 2:20:24But it is exactly what actress and my mate Kellie Shirley did.
2:20:24 > 2:20:32So why did you decide to donate cord blood?
2:20:32 > 2:20:34I found out that lots of places end up just chucking
2:20:34 > 2:20:36the cord blood away.
2:20:36 > 2:20:37And these people actually keep the cord blood,
2:20:37 > 2:20:42and they can harvest it for stem cells for use with blood cancer.
2:20:42 > 2:20:44So I had a boy and a girl, and two placentas,
2:20:44 > 2:20:47and we think that Louie was a match for somebody, which was
2:20:47 > 2:20:51really, really amazing.
2:20:51 > 2:20:54He's a little legend, Louie, and Pearl is.
2:20:54 > 2:20:57Only ten hospitals in the UK, like this one, have a dedicated team
2:20:57 > 2:21:00of cord collectors like Zoe, who is on hand to
2:21:00 > 2:21:02help mothers donate.
2:21:02 > 2:21:05So Zoe, this is where you collect the cord, isn't it?
2:21:05 > 2:21:08It is a bit much to show on telly, but explain what happens.
2:21:08 > 2:21:11So once we have got the placenta, we bring the placenta up
2:21:11 > 2:21:15here and carry out a collection.
2:21:15 > 2:21:18We insert the needle into the cord and drain as much
2:21:18 > 2:21:21blood from the placenta.
2:21:21 > 2:21:24The placenta is rich in stem cells, so the blood that we do collect
2:21:24 > 2:21:26from it can be used to transplant.
2:21:26 > 2:21:28So if you don't collect these placentas, they
2:21:28 > 2:21:29just get chucked away?
2:21:29 > 2:21:32It does, it only gets thrown in the bin.
2:21:32 > 2:21:34So we have a cord collection from what we have just collected.
2:21:34 > 2:21:38That is the blood we had just collected, and that is the blood
2:21:38 > 2:21:40we take from the placenta.
2:21:40 > 2:21:43So it it has literally just come from the woman's body.
2:21:43 > 2:21:44It has.
2:21:44 > 2:21:49So what happens now?
2:21:49 > 2:21:51It gets tested to see if there is enough stem cells in,
2:21:51 > 2:21:54and once that is done, we determine if it's good
2:21:54 > 2:21:56enough for translate.
2:21:56 > 2:21:58Of course, it is a decision every family has to make for themselves.
2:21:58 > 2:22:00We popped in to see Sophie just before her Caesarean,
2:22:00 > 2:22:03to ask why she is going to donate.
2:22:03 > 2:22:06So with my first, I didn't even know about it.
2:22:06 > 2:22:08I didn't see any posters and wasn't told about it.
2:22:08 > 2:22:12And then with the second, the midwife mentioned it at one
2:22:12 > 2:22:16of my community midwife chats, and then a lot of my
2:22:16 > 2:22:18friends who were pregnant in Sunderland were like,
2:22:18 > 2:22:21oh, that is amazing, how have you done that?
2:22:21 > 2:22:23And we want to do it, but then they couldn't,
2:22:23 > 2:22:25because they don't do it in Newcastle or Sunderland.
2:22:25 > 2:22:28It is a no-brainer for me.
2:22:28 > 2:22:30It's something I keep saying, as well.
2:22:30 > 2:22:31It's become a catchphrase.
2:22:31 > 2:22:32It's a no-brainer.
2:22:32 > 2:22:34Yes, totally.
2:22:34 > 2:22:37But having dedicated collectors on call 24/7 is costly.
2:22:37 > 2:22:41NHS Blood and Transplant say they deliberately target hospitals
2:22:41 > 2:22:47and communities that often struggle to find a stem cell match.
2:22:47 > 2:22:50Look, just a couple of hours after we left, Sonny arrived,
2:22:50 > 2:22:52and before he had opened his little eyes, he had already done
2:22:52 > 2:22:54something good in the world.
2:22:54 > 2:23:02Now, that is worth screaming about.
2:23:03 > 2:23:05Right on cue.
2:23:05 > 2:23:06You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
2:23:06 > 2:23:11Time now for a look at the newspapers.
2:23:11 > 2:23:13Professor Cary Cooper from the University of Manchester
2:23:13 > 2:23:15is here to tell us what's caught his eye.
2:23:15 > 2:23:23Good morning.Good morning.What do you make of this, Donald Trump, this
2:23:23 > 2:23:28is good for the world, this North Korea meeting?The Nobel Peace Prize
2:23:28 > 2:23:33in the end. I have to look at this, it is all over every newspaper. What
2:23:33 > 2:23:37I liked about this story was the fact that they showed their dialogue
2:23:37 > 2:23:45between the two of them over the past couple of years, wonderful. In
2:23:45 > 2:23:49January 2018, Kim Jong-un said, it is a reality I have a nuclear button
2:23:49 > 2:23:56on my desk, and Trump response was, I also have a nuclear button but it
2:23:56 > 2:24:07is bigger and main works.
2:24:10 > 2:24:13It goes on. It is amazing. It is going to be a soap opera. Everyone
2:24:13 > 2:24:17thinks it is a joke but in a way it is healthy for us regardless of the
2:24:17 > 2:24:19motives. They want to take away from their own internal problems. They
2:24:19 > 2:24:21both have internal problems to a large extent and I think Trump sees
2:24:21 > 2:24:24this as a peace process. He says, if I am robust and I confront people,
2:24:24 > 2:24:28it delivers. You all think I am an idiot, too aggressive, but he will
2:24:28 > 2:24:36use that as an excuse.Ultimately, as always with these things, if it
2:24:36 > 2:24:40works, then the motivation or whatever, it becomes relevant.
2:24:40 > 2:24:46Exactly. Does the world need to unpredictable people getting at each
2:24:46 > 2:24:51other? It does not need this and if this works, I do not care what their
2:24:51 > 2:24:56motives are, I am happy for my grandkids and my kids. At the bottom
2:24:56 > 2:25:02there is also the story about the PR coup. To do with where there are
2:25:02 > 2:25:06going to hold it. That will be funny. Will they do it on a vessel?
2:25:06 > 2:25:12Where are they going to hold peace talks? They cannot do it in each of
2:25:12 > 2:25:15the respective countries where will they hold it? It will be
2:25:15 > 2:25:19interesting. I think that will take three or four months to sort out.
2:25:19 > 2:25:25They have not got long. We will leave aside the picture of this cute
2:25:25 > 2:25:31dog.This story is from social media. The government is saying kids
2:25:31 > 2:25:38are on social media too much. 12-15 -year-olds spend 12-15 hours a week
2:25:38 > 2:25:43on social media. Three quarters of ten-year-olds are on one form of
2:25:43 > 2:25:48social media or another. The point I wanted to make about this, maybe we
2:25:48 > 2:25:54should control it, but how about the parents? Think about us, on Twitter,
2:25:54 > 2:26:01doing e-mail on a Friday night, on a Sunday, on Saturday, when we are on
2:26:01 > 2:26:07holiday. We do social media, they are modelling the behaviour. They
2:26:07 > 2:26:12are going to introduce laws saying you cannot have a social media count
2:26:12 > 2:26:16if you're under 13.If someone were to assess your time spent on social
2:26:16 > 2:26:21media, would it be uncomfortable for you?Very uncomfortable,
2:26:21 > 2:26:24particularly when I open my mouth about it. In the workplace I think
2:26:24 > 2:26:28it is a big problem for us.From a personal perspective, what would you
2:26:28 > 2:26:35need to be told to reduce your on Twitter.Or even e-mails? What is
2:26:35 > 2:26:41happening in the workplace, I am an organisational psychologist,
2:26:41 > 2:26:45companies are blocking people'se-mails after five o'clock.
2:26:45 > 2:26:54They do this in Germany.And France as well.
2:26:54 > 2:26:57as well. France has a lot, it says that no manager from shop floor to
2:26:57 > 2:26:59top floor can send an e-mail to their subordinates out of office
2:26:59 > 2:27:01hours. Totally unenforceable, but it is sending a message. We need to
2:27:01 > 2:27:07control ourselves in this space. Yes, the kids, but we are modelling
2:27:07 > 2:27:10this behaviour. Unless we change, we are not doing very much good for
2:27:10 > 2:27:17them.From today, are you going to change? Probably a bit, but not a
2:27:17 > 2:27:24lot.
2:27:24 > 2:27:27lot. It is hard. It is already talk about it. I have kids at are older
2:27:27 > 2:27:30and they say, you should not be doing e-mail when you're with your
2:27:30 > 2:27:33grandchildren.Weight is the harm? I will tell you what the Hamas, you're
2:27:33 > 2:27:36going out with your family dinner on a Friday night, and I go to dinner
2:27:36 > 2:27:41where I live, and I see people looking, a family of four Michael,
2:27:41 > 2:27:44looking at the knees. The kids are texturing and the parents are
2:27:44 > 2:27:53looking at the e-mails. It is not healthy for our interactions. This
2:27:53 > 2:27:56is a story about the White House. The possibility of a TV series. What
2:27:56 > 2:28:03is this? For Netflix, Azeris is that it is purported they will be paid
2:28:03 > 2:28:10500 million to date. A documentary? We do not know, they are not seeing.
2:28:10 > 2:28:13We think it is a documentary because his chief adviser says, we have
2:28:13 > 2:28:16always believed in the power of storytelling to inspire. Throughout
2:28:16 > 2:28:22their lives, the Obamas have inspired people... It is going to be
2:28:22 > 2:28:29something like that, probably a documentary. I love this man. I am
2:28:29 > 2:28:34worried. I do not want to see his reputation damaged. Think about Bill
2:28:34 > 2:28:39Clinton, Tony Blair, people who've gone to give big speeches. All those
2:28:39 > 2:28:42people have put their money in foundations but it is the image it
2:28:42 > 2:28:48portrays to the public. This man is such an icon.I hope there is no
2:28:48 > 2:28:53real damage. This is a lovely story to finish. A six-year-old boy who
2:28:53 > 2:28:58estimated stem cells.A boy has donated to his brother, he is four.
2:28:58 > 2:29:05He has leukaemia. This is so uplifting. We have such a lot of
2:29:05 > 2:29:10negatives around, this is uplifting. What I really like, he even shaved
2:29:10 > 2:29:13his head in sympathy with his brother to raise money for the royal
2:29:13 > 2:29:20Marsden.On that rather uplifting note, we will leave it for now.You
2:29:20 > 2:29:26will be back in an hour's time. I will indeed.The headlines are
2:29:26 > 2:29:28coming up. We'll see you soon.
2:30:27 > 2:30:29Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
2:30:29 > 2:30:31Coming up before 9:00am, Louise will have
2:30:31 > 2:30:33the weekend's weather for you.
2:30:33 > 2:30:37But first, a summary of this morning's main news.
2:30:37 > 2:30:40The Home Secretary will chair a second meeting of the government's
2:30:40 > 2:30:41emergency Cobra committee today, as investigations continue
2:30:41 > 2:30:45into the poisoning of a former Russian spy.
2:30:45 > 2:30:48Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are both in a serious
2:30:48 > 2:30:51condition in hospital in Salisbury after being exposed
2:30:51 > 2:30:53to a nerve agent.
2:30:53 > 2:30:55Specialist troops trained in chemical warfare have been
2:30:55 > 2:30:58deployed to the city.
2:30:58 > 2:31:02The grave of Mr Skripal's wife, who was buried in 2012,
2:31:02 > 2:31:05and the memorial stone of his son, who was cremated last year,
2:31:05 > 2:31:08have been cordoned off.
2:31:08 > 2:31:11President Trump has tweeted that a deal with North Korea is "very
2:31:11 > 2:31:13much in the making", which he said would be
2:31:13 > 2:31:15very good for the world.
2:31:15 > 2:31:18The White House says he won't meet Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang
2:31:18 > 2:31:21takes concrete steps to end its nuclear programme.
2:31:21 > 2:31:24No sitting US president has ever met a leader from North Korea before.
2:31:24 > 2:31:28An 85-year-old man has died while waiting in an Accident
2:31:28 > 2:31:31and Emergency unit because of "dangerous overcrowding",
2:31:31 > 2:31:33according to a hospital boss.
2:31:33 > 2:31:36The man suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting to see a senior
2:31:36 > 2:31:40consultant at Northampton General Hospital.
2:31:40 > 2:31:43A leaked email from the trust's medical director describes his death
2:31:43 > 2:31:50as "due entirely to dangerous overcrowding in the department".
2:31:50 > 2:31:52In a statement, the hospital said the long wait for
2:31:52 > 2:31:53treatment was unacceptable.
2:31:53 > 2:31:56The National Rifle Association has mounted a legal challenge to new gun
2:31:56 > 2:31:59control measures in Florida drawn up in the wake of a school shooting
2:31:59 > 2:32:01last month which left 17 people dead.
2:32:01 > 2:32:06It says the new law, which will raise the legal age
2:32:06 > 2:32:08to purchase firearms, but also allows the training
2:32:08 > 2:32:11and arming of school staff, is unconstitutional.
2:32:11 > 2:32:13Teachers in England could see their workloads cut,
2:32:13 > 2:32:18under proposals being set out today by the Education
2:32:18 > 2:32:21under proposals being set out today by the Education Secretary.
2:32:21 > 2:32:23He will tell a headteachers' conference in Birmingham that long
2:32:23 > 2:32:26working hours and too much red tape are becoming a barrier to recruiting
2:32:26 > 2:32:29and retaining staff.
2:32:29 > 2:32:34We are all part of the problem.So you are part of the problem?Yes,
2:32:34 > 2:32:37but we have been for a couple of years, more than a couple of years,
2:32:37 > 2:32:41and are continuing to do everything we can to defuse. The important
2:32:41 > 2:32:46message from us is that if you are running a good school, if every week
2:32:46 > 2:32:50things are going well, and you let Ofsted see the school as it actually
2:32:50 > 2:32:57runs normally, then the inspection outcome will be good.
2:32:57 > 2:33:05Somebody has lost their job... It's not someone, it's it.
2:33:05 > 2:33:09He's been in the job just one day - but Flippy the Robot isn't up to it
2:33:09 > 2:33:11and has already been replaced by human resources.
2:33:11 > 2:33:13The burger-flipping arm had been serving customers
2:33:13 > 2:33:17at a restaurant in California, as the owners attempt
2:33:17 > 2:33:21to replace human cooks.
2:33:21 > 2:33:24But he's out already.
2:33:24 > 2:33:26Because he was just too slow and couldn't turn
2:33:26 > 2:33:28the burgers quickly enough.
2:33:28 > 2:33:36He's just dawdling. What we learn with that is that a robot can flip
2:33:36 > 2:33:40burgers but can't put cheese on them. Let's add it to the list of
2:33:40 > 2:33:46things robots can't do.Small flaps of cheese are quite flimsy to be
2:33:46 > 2:33:50fair. If it's the first day on the job it can take time to learn.If
2:33:50 > 2:33:56robots can do tiny minute movements...At least the burgers
2:33:56 > 2:34:01didn't end up up the wall.Is that what happens when you flip burgers?
2:34:01 > 2:34:07All the time!
2:34:07 > 2:34:10Millie Knight and Brett Wild are world champions in downhill skiing
2:34:10 > 2:34:15but just over a year ago she suffered a serious concussion. I
2:34:15 > 2:34:19spoke to her in the Alps and she said she didn't even know how long
2:34:19 > 2:34:23she would be out for whether we would see her at the Winter Olympics
2:34:23 > 2:34:31in Pyeongchang. A great start for Team GB's mission to try to get
2:34:31 > 2:34:32seven medals.
2:34:32 > 2:34:35It could be the start of a medal rush, not just for Britain,
2:34:35 > 2:34:38but for Millie Knight and her guide Brett Wild, because they still have
2:34:38 > 2:34:40four events to compete in.
2:34:40 > 2:34:42Our reporter Kate Gray is in Pyeongchang and earlier spoke
2:34:42 > 2:34:45to Britain's first medallists, and Kate, tell us why this
2:34:45 > 2:34:51is such an important medal for Millie and Brett.
2:34:52 > 2:34:56This really is the important medal that Millie Knight and Brett Wild
2:34:56 > 2:35:00wanted from these games. It's the eventually as world champion in. As
2:35:00 > 2:35:04you said, she has had a tough year overcoming concussion and the fears
2:35:04 > 2:35:08that come with getting back on the skis. What you went to the top of
2:35:08 > 2:35:12the soap today she was feeling ready to go. It was a really tough
2:35:12 > 2:35:19downhill slope. Her team-mate and her guide had wiped out earlier in
2:35:19 > 2:35:23the event. She had to knuckle down and focus on getting down the slope.
2:35:23 > 2:35:28Luckily guided by Brett Wild, they got down the slope safely, winning
2:35:28 > 2:35:32the silver medal, the first medal for Great Britain at these games.
2:35:32 > 2:35:35Clearly over the moon. I caught up with them just before they went to
2:35:35 > 2:35:42pick up their medals.It's absolutely fantastic. This time last
2:35:42 > 2:35:47year I sustained quite a severe concussion on this slope where I
2:35:47 > 2:35:51crashed into the finish line. To cross the line today as Paralympic
2:35:51 > 2:35:55silver medallists is amazing.Were you nervous at the start, was it
2:35:55 > 2:35:58going through your mind?I certainly was nervous, but I guess that means
2:35:58 > 2:36:03I cared about it. The moment I pushed out of the start gate, all
2:36:03 > 2:36:07the nerves went.Brett, you are guiding her down the mountain. It
2:36:07 > 2:36:11wasn't an especially easy downhill with incidents with other athletes.
2:36:11 > 2:36:17It was a challenging downhill. The terrain, there was no popular points
2:36:17 > 2:36:19to race. The conditions were challenging. But we had a game plan
2:36:19 > 2:36:23and we stuck to it and we are pleased to be back in the mix, a
2:36:23 > 2:36:27great start to the Paralympics.Is this like disappointed wasn't gold
2:36:27 > 2:36:32this time?Definitely not. With the season we have had, it's been quite
2:36:32 > 2:36:36a frustrating season. We haven't got the results we wanted and coming
2:36:36 > 2:36:40back from concussion was really tough. This is the highest result we
2:36:40 > 2:36:43have had all season. For it to come out of the Paralympic games is
2:36:43 > 2:36:49wonderful.A great result for Millie Knight, who will be back in action
2:36:49 > 2:36:54tomorrow in the super G along with her team-mates Mena Fitzpatrick and
2:36:54 > 2:36:59Kelly Gallagher. There has been a brilliant wheelchair curling match
2:36:59 > 2:37:02unfolding in Pyeongchang with Great Britain up against world champions
2:37:02 > 2:37:06Norway. It was just over an hour match. Great Britain took the lead
2:37:06 > 2:37:10from the very beginning and managed to hold off the world champions. But
2:37:10 > 2:37:16it came down to the final stone. Norway had to pass the stone down
2:37:16 > 2:37:20the ice and knocked out three of the great British stones. But it wasn't
2:37:20 > 2:37:26quite possible. Great Britain managed to win that round 5-2, a
2:37:26 > 2:37:29great result and a great way to start their Paralympic campaign.
2:37:29 > 2:37:33They will hope to continue that success, and they will be in action
2:37:33 > 2:37:37again tomorrow. Lots to look forward to in Pyeongchang.What a start for
2:37:37 > 2:37:41Paralympics Team GB on the first day of proper competition in
2:37:41 > 2:37:47Pyeongchang. The other place to be today is Dublin.
2:37:47 > 2:37:50It's the penultimate weekend of the Six Nations.
2:37:50 > 2:37:53In Paris, England will play France and in Dublin, Scotland
2:37:53 > 2:37:54will play Ireland.
2:37:54 > 2:37:56John Watson is at the city's Aviva Stadium this morning.
2:37:56 > 2:37:59And John, there's every chance there could be some party
2:37:59 > 2:38:01there in Dublin tonight.
2:38:01 > 2:38:07Couldn't there just. It will be an incredible weekend here. If Ireland
2:38:07 > 2:38:12beat Scotland at the Aviva Stadium later, and England could potentially
2:38:12 > 2:38:16lose to France in Paris, that would see Ireland wrap up a third six
2:38:16 > 2:38:21Nations title in five years, party time here if that happens. Who would
2:38:21 > 2:38:25anticipate we would find ourselves in this position on the penultimate
2:38:25 > 2:38:28weekend of the six Nations championship. A lot of the
2:38:28 > 2:38:31tournament predictions expecting Ireland and England to win all their
2:38:31 > 2:38:37match to set up a potential title Grand Slam decider in the last match
2:38:37 > 2:38:40of the tournament with Ireland travelling to Twickenham to play
2:38:40 > 2:38:43England next week. But Scotland blew that apart with incredible
2:38:43 > 2:38:46performance against England in the Calcutta Cup two weeks ago. They
2:38:46 > 2:38:51were too good for England, and that keeps Scotland's chances alive of
2:38:51 > 2:38:55winning this year's tournament. Scotland have been very impressive,
2:38:55 > 2:38:58we saw that against England. Today they have to win away from home,
2:38:58 > 2:39:02which it's fair to say they have found difficult in the six Nations.
2:39:02 > 2:39:07Away from Rome, where Italy play, the perennial whipping boys in the
2:39:07 > 2:39:11six Nations. Scotland have struggled to win away, only winning twice in
2:39:11 > 2:39:15the six Nations. They will be boosted by the fact the last win
2:39:15 > 2:39:19came in Dublin eight years ago. But they need Finn Russell and that the
2:39:19 > 2:39:24players to turn it on later. Ireland have an incredible record at home,
2:39:24 > 2:39:29they haven't lost on the Joe Schmidt in the six Nations here. England,
2:39:29 > 2:39:32it's interesting to see how it will play out in France later. They have
2:39:32 > 2:39:38Dylan Hartley missing, a notable absentee, so Owen Farrell will
2:39:38 > 2:39:41deputise as captain in his absence. England have to match whatever
2:39:41 > 2:39:45Ireland produce here to take it to the final weekend at Twickenham next
2:39:45 > 2:39:50weekend. It's worth pointing out, you talk about a party atmosphere.
2:39:50 > 2:39:54Let's speculate Ireland when he later and England lose in France,
2:39:54 > 2:39:58Ireland with then travel to Twickenham next weekend chasing a
2:39:58 > 2:40:01potential grand slam, they could win all their matches, and if they beat
2:40:01 > 2:40:07England on Saint Patrick's Whee Kim, then it really will be party time.
2:40:07 > 2:40:12So many permutations. Thanks John. It's all about the bonus points,
2:40:12 > 2:40:16England will have to go to France score four tries today, they will
2:40:16 > 2:40:22know what they have to after kicking off after the Ireland and Scotland
2:40:22 > 2:40:31match has finished.A bit of trivia, Mathieu Bastareaud, the France
2:40:31 > 2:40:37centre, the heaviest man on the pitch at 20 stone. In the days when
2:40:37 > 2:40:40the backs used to be lighter, the heaviest man on the pitch, he lives
2:40:40 > 2:40:47and plays in Toulon. He hasn't got a driving licence but has a little 50
2:40:47 > 2:40:57cc motorbike. He lives at the top of the hill. He can barely get up the
2:40:57 > 2:41:01hill, this gigantic man on his little mopeds.It's like that famous
2:41:01 > 2:41:10bread out adverts, running up the hill.
2:41:12 > 2:41:16Good morning Dan Walker. I'm sure this man eats very healthily. He
2:41:16 > 2:41:23certainly eats a lot. But he is an athlete. We need to see a picture of
2:41:23 > 2:41:31him. Dan, a huge day today in terms of the race for second place.
2:41:31 > 2:41:34Manchester City have the Premier League title sewn up, but it's
2:41:34 > 2:41:37Manchester United taking on Liverpool, second against third with
2:41:37 > 2:41:41two points separating the sides. We have Chris Smalling on the show
2:41:41 > 2:41:45today. He scored in the comeback against Christabel Palace last week.
2:41:45 > 2:41:48He was talking about mentality from the Manchester United point of view.
2:41:48 > 2:41:56Danny Welbeck is on the programme, a strange season for Arsenal. They
2:41:56 > 2:42:01lost against Manchester city twice and against Brighton, but won
2:42:01 > 2:42:05against AC Milan. And Brighton is another focus, Chris Hughton is
2:42:05 > 2:42:11manager of the month. And Ryan Bertrand, the potential first choice
2:42:11 > 2:42:18left back for England this summer, playing for Southampton, who are in
2:42:18 > 2:42:21a spot of bother. You don't expect a footballer to speak like this, but
2:42:21 > 2:42:25he talks about going back to the site at Grenfell Tower, spending
2:42:25 > 2:42:30time in the community and try to help people there.
2:42:30 > 2:42:35It just resonated with me. I grew up in tower blocks, the same. I still
2:42:35 > 2:42:39have friends and family there, in those situations. I didn't
2:42:39 > 2:42:43understand the logistics of how this would happen and the resistance it
2:42:43 > 2:42:46seemed the residents and the residents' families were receiving,
2:42:46 > 2:42:50the lack of compassion to get it fixed as soon as possible. It seemed
2:42:50 > 2:42:56as if there was too much red tape, these are humans here. They have
2:42:56 > 2:43:00lost their lives, lost loved ones and lost their homes.Ryan Bertrand
2:43:00 > 2:43:09really feels that hard. You can see how he explains that situation. You
2:43:09 > 2:43:12expect is sometimes footballers to talk in a certain way but he really
2:43:12 > 2:43:17broadens out the discussion. We talked about the SheBelieves Cup,
2:43:17 > 2:43:20England losing to the USA in the end, but Phil Neville reflected on
2:43:20 > 2:43:25it, and we will look in more detail at the World Cup qualifying
2:43:25 > 2:43:29campaign. And Plymouth, 325 miles from Plymouth to Fleetwood, a proper
2:43:29 > 2:43:34old strip today. Carlyle is the furthest probably. -- a proper old
2:43:34 > 2:43:42trip today. In League 1 in December they were bottom of the lead and now
2:43:42 > 2:43:45they are in the play-offs. Mark Clemmit has been to speak to them.
2:43:45 > 2:43:54Is it all about garnish pasties? -- Cornish pasties?We will have Mark
2:43:54 > 2:43:59Lawrenson and is Jermaine Jenas on the programme as well.Is that a
2:43:59 > 2:44:05cardigan or a jacket?It's a cardigan. I saw Charlie's eyebrows
2:44:05 > 2:44:09perk.I was trying to counter the buttons. I got to about 12 and
2:44:09 > 2:44:15stopped.Sometimes they're fake buttons on these things. But there
2:44:15 > 2:44:18are eight, and you have to do them all up. It took an hour to get into
2:44:18 > 2:44:24this this morning. It's a rare cardigan.It's a bit like a corset.
2:44:24 > 2:44:26There is quite a lot to hold in.
2:44:33 > 2:44:35In the Scottish Premiership, we have Rangers against Celtic
2:44:35 > 2:44:37in the Old Firm derby tomorrow.
2:44:37 > 2:44:38Last night, Hibernian moved 12 points clear
2:44:38 > 2:44:41of neighbours Hearts with a 2-0 win at Easter Road.
2:44:41 > 2:44:49Hibs are now just a point behind third-placed Aberdeen.
2:44:50 > 2:44:58Now in the last few hours, victory for England's cricketers.
2:44:59 > 2:45:02England clinching their sixth successive win in one-day cricket.
2:45:02 > 2:45:06They will have the Test series soon. Looking good for the one-day World
2:45:06 > 2:45:11Cup in England.
2:45:11 > 2:45:14Millions of people who have been automatically put into their company
2:45:14 > 2:45:16pension scheme could find their pay goes down next month.
2:45:16 > 2:45:21The government has decided that the contributions that are paid
2:45:21 > 2:45:24into these workplace pension schemes will rise steeply in April,
2:45:24 > 2:45:26which could leave people with less take home pay.
2:45:26 > 2:45:31Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box is in our London studio.
2:45:31 > 2:45:37Good morning. Do you want to outline what the problem is?If it is a
2:45:37 > 2:45:40problem, I suppose that is the question. People have been
2:45:40 > 2:45:44automatically enrolled into a pension scheme throughout the UK,
2:45:44 > 2:45:47every employer has to offer on the contributions going on
2:45:47 > 2:45:52automatically, from the employee and their boss. From April, those
2:45:52 > 2:45:56contributions will automatically go up. The individual's contribution
2:45:56 > 2:46:08will travel from 1% of their pay to the present.
2:46:08 > 2:46:10the present. Just to give you an example, somebody on £385 a week,
2:46:10 > 2:46:16they will find they are paying an extra
2:46:20 > 2:46:23extra £4 23 each week into their pension.Their take-home pay will go
2:46:23 > 2:46:25down. Whether it is a problem, but people will notice it, and they
2:46:25 > 2:46:28should be prepared for it if they are one of the 9 million
2:46:28 > 2:46:31automatically enrolled people. You do not have a choice in this? It is
2:46:31 > 2:46:34something that will happen and you will get less money when it comes to
2:46:34 > 2:46:44your payday?
2:46:48 > 2:46:51Yes, you do not have a choice, except anyone can opt out of the
2:46:51 > 2:46:54pension, but fortunately very few people do. It is well under one in
2:46:54 > 2:46:56ten, especially among younger people. You cannot code if you want,
2:46:56 > 2:47:00and that is the fear, that when people see their pay going down they
2:47:00 > 2:47:02will thing, I will get out of it, but that is not the best thing to
2:47:02 > 2:47:05do. You are paying more in, there is a bigger tax subsidy going in, your
2:47:05 > 2:47:07bosses is being boring, so have the extra going incomes from other
2:47:07 > 2:47:11people, so that means it is earning more over the course of your
2:47:11 > 2:47:13pension. Some companies are now saying you should see it as a pay
2:47:13 > 2:47:16rise, not a pay cut. Tax and national insurance are also being
2:47:16 > 2:47:23cut from April which will be an extra £100 a year so that will
2:47:23 > 2:47:25offset some of this. And some people will have a pay rise which will
2:47:25 > 2:47:29offset some of it. It is going to be complicated but when people get that
2:47:29 > 2:47:33first paid back in April, they have got to think, we've is this money
2:47:33 > 2:47:38going? Some more of it will be going into their pension.I know you have
2:47:38 > 2:47:43talked about this so much over the years, about how important it is to
2:47:43 > 2:47:47think hard about your pension. If there is a danger this means people
2:47:47 > 2:47:52are going, I do not want to pay that much and they withdraw, that is a
2:47:52 > 2:47:56problem?It would be a problem. Auto enrolment has been a great success
2:47:56 > 2:47:59because there are more than 9 million paying into a pensioner who
2:47:59 > 2:48:03were not before. Even these contributions are not going to be
2:48:03 > 2:48:15enough. They are going up again next April.
2:48:16 > 2:48:18It is quite a campaign to have that forces continued into the future.
2:48:18 > 2:48:21People will be paying more. You really need to be paying 18% of your
2:48:21 > 2:48:27pay into a
2:48:30 > 2:48:33pay into a pension to get anything that you can call a decent pension
2:48:33 > 2:48:36and retirement. Much of our most of that 15 or 18% should come from your
2:48:36 > 2:48:39boss. There is a tax subsidy, so it is not all coming from you. That is
2:48:39 > 2:48:41why leaving the scheme is a bad thing, because you're giving up the
2:48:41 > 2:48:45money that your bosses putting into your pension.In a way you can see
2:48:45 > 2:48:47it like a pay cut but it will not look like that on your April
2:48:47 > 2:48:48payslip. Thank you very much.
2:48:48 > 2:48:51You can here more on Money Box on BBC Radio 4 just
2:48:51 > 2:48:52after 12:00pm today.
2:48:52 > 2:48:54You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.
2:48:54 > 2:48:56The main stories this morning: 180 troops have been
2:48:56 > 2:48:58brought in to assist police after the attempted murder
2:48:58 > 2:49:02of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Salisbury.
2:49:02 > 2:49:05President Trump has reaffirmed that a deal with North Korea is very much
2:49:05 > 2:49:11in the making after agreeing to meet Kim Jong-un.
2:49:11 > 2:49:17Here's Louise with a look at this morning's weather.
2:49:17 > 2:49:18Rays
2:49:18 > 2:49:25Rays of sunshine? Yes, I am trying hard this morning. A week ago we
2:49:25 > 2:49:28were talking about subzero temperatures and snowdrifts. I have
2:49:28 > 2:49:32managed to find you a ray of sunshine in the south-east this
2:49:32 > 2:49:36morning. It has been a beautiful start to the day. The milder air
2:49:36 > 2:49:44will affect the whole of the country by the end of the day. We do have
2:49:44 > 2:49:52some rain in the forecast. Not a great start to the day in Hull.
2:50:00 > 2:50:02Bad visibility and light rain. The rain has been stretching from the
2:50:02 > 2:50:04south through the night, but behind the rain, it has brought Melbourne
2:50:04 > 2:50:07air. The yellow denotes where the male bear is sitting. It will push
2:50:07 > 2:50:09steadily north into Scotland as rain arrives. The rain will push into
2:50:09 > 2:50:12Scotland through the afternoon and behind it, there is a weather front
2:50:12 > 2:50:14which brings more rain into the south west. It is surely in nature,
2:50:14 > 2:50:19which will allow some sunny spells to come through. It is a wet start
2:50:19 > 2:50:23to Northern Ireland. Eventually the rain will push through the Borders
2:50:23 > 2:50:36into central Scotland. Behind it, sunny spells and scatter showers.
2:50:37 > 2:50:41By the middle of the afternoon it looks likely to be a wet story for
2:50:41 > 2:50:43Scotland. Some snow on higher ground but we are not too concerned as the
2:50:43 > 2:50:46Melbourne air moves. But -- double digits in Northern Ireland with the
2:50:46 > 2:50:49rain. If the cloud breaks up and we get lengthy spells of sunshine,
2:50:49 > 2:50:53temperatures will respond. If we get over 15.1, it will be the warmest
2:50:53 > 2:51:02day of the years of Earth. Through the night the rain continues to
2:51:03 > 2:51:05drift north, and handed the winds will become light. Clear skies and
2:51:05 > 2:51:08fog forming with that moisture around. It could be a murky start to
2:51:08 > 2:51:13Mother's Day and the chilly start with single figures in some places.
2:51:13 > 2:51:17The fog will lift in the morning, and as we go through the day, for
2:51:17 > 2:51:21many, there will be dry weather. The rain will linger in the Northern
2:51:21 > 2:51:26Isles, but not a bad day for Scotland in the north of England.
2:51:26 > 2:51:30Showers in the south and they will drift into Wales and the Midlands.
2:51:30 > 2:51:33Some showers heavy and possibly thundery, but widespread double
2:51:33 > 2:51:38digits for all. We have not seen temperatures of 10 degrees above
2:51:38 > 2:51:43since the 20th of February in Scotland. This picture was sent in
2:51:43 > 2:51:46this morning, it was glorious last night in Scotland for seeing the
2:51:46 > 2:51:52Aurora for some. It looks as though there could be the potential to see
2:51:52 > 2:51:57it tonight, perhaps in the Northern Isles and the north of Scotland.
2:51:57 > 2:52:02That is what the green colour denotes. Where it is bright yellow
2:52:02 > 2:52:05you will have a better chance. I suspect in the far north of Scotland
2:52:05 > 2:52:06you
2:52:06 > 2:52:07suspect in the far north of Scotland you may get to see the Aurora
2:52:07 > 2:52:12tonight. Thank you. See you later.
2:52:12 > 2:52:15From the latest exploits of the Beatles in the 1960s,
2:52:15 > 2:52:18through to punk, indie and Britpop, NME magazine has been a must-read
2:52:18 > 2:52:20for music fans for almost 70 years.
2:52:20 > 2:52:22But yesterday saw the end of an era, with the publication
2:52:22 > 2:52:23of its final print edition.
2:52:23 > 2:52:26Rising costs and falling advertising mean it will only
2:52:26 > 2:52:27be available online.
2:52:27 > 2:52:30In a moment, we'll be discussing why the magazine became so iconic,
2:52:30 > 2:52:33but first, here's a look at some of its front covers down the years.
2:53:05 > 2:53:13MUSIC: Space Oddity by David Bowie.
2:53:17 > 2:53:24MUSIC: Fools Gold by The Stone Roses.
2:53:43 > 2:53:48That was nice to look back on those. A nice little musical interlude. I
2:53:48 > 2:53:50was enjoying the Stone Roses.
2:53:50 > 2:53:52Here with us now are musician and journalist John Robb,
2:53:52 > 2:53:54and the photographer Kevin Cummins, who snapped a number
2:53:54 > 2:53:56of NME front covers.
2:53:56 > 2:54:02Thank you for joining us.What does this mean? It is the end of an era
2:54:02 > 2:54:11in a sense, but it is like all media, it is just moving onto the
2:54:11 > 2:54:14Internet, it is difficult for magazines to survive. I say that as
2:54:14 > 2:54:19someone who publishes a magazine.
2:54:29 > 2:54:32I started with a website and published a magazine back to front.
2:54:32 > 2:54:34It started with a smaller modern -- smaller model. The NME is an
2:54:34 > 2:54:37expensive operation. It is not the end of music writing. People look at
2:54:37 > 2:54:39the information on mobiles and tablets. They had those problems.
2:54:39 > 2:54:42There were some mistakes made towards the end. It is funny culling
2:54:42 > 2:54:44of the magazine, because two as it was always a paper.I think of it as
2:54:44 > 2:54:47a newspaper.The images come off on your fingers. You talk about the old
2:54:47 > 2:54:53days but I remember going to buy five papers in the 70s, music
2:54:53 > 2:55:01papers. Melody maker? Sounds, NME, disk. Many -- not many people will
2:55:01 > 2:55:07remember that. They gradually shut down one by one. I remember the day
2:55:07 > 2:55:12that Kallis sounds got shot down. It was sad. Eventually it happened to
2:55:12 > 2:55:18NME as well.It's staggered on for a few more decades. One of the things
2:55:18 > 2:55:22about the publication, you have the benefit of that front page,
2:55:22 > 2:55:28photograph, and some of yours will run NME back in the day?Yes, the
2:55:28 > 2:55:32thing with the music paper as well is that it is really important to
2:55:32 > 2:55:37build iconography. I do not think you can do that without the printed
2:55:37 > 2:55:40page. It is very different when you're talking about pictures
2:55:40 > 2:55:45online.
2:55:45 > 2:55:48online. They are not permanent. You do not put them on your bedroom
2:55:48 > 2:55:53wall. Lots of people who bought the music prize would pin those pictures
2:55:53 > 2:55:57on their wall and live with them, now they have just got Instagram
2:55:57 > 2:56:03boards for their favourite pictures. It is not the same. Is it time to
2:56:03 > 2:56:08adapt? I do not know how it would change, your job, in terms of how
2:56:08 > 2:56:12you photograph, or what you photographed, but that is the medium
2:56:12 > 2:56:15that people are using, to be visually stimulated, then you have
2:56:15 > 2:56:21got to go with it, haven't you?To agree but the paper should have
2:56:21 > 2:56:26realigned itself in the marketplace. A lot of people are used by the NME
2:56:26 > 2:56:32would buy it for gig guides and record reviews, things that are
2:56:32 > 2:56:35easily available online. You just have to change the way the magazine
2:56:35 > 2:56:42looks. Maybe do more on the road pieces, go on tour with bands. Take
2:56:42 > 2:56:47it in a slightly different direction. There is still a place
2:56:47 > 2:56:52for printed media.If I am honest, when I used by the NME, sometimes I
2:56:52 > 2:56:57did not read it, I just thought... You look at the pictures? It felt
2:56:57 > 2:57:01like it was quite a cool thing to make people think you were reading.
2:57:01 > 2:57:08I have heard people say that. There are some sad cases, probably you.
2:57:08 > 2:57:13Having it in your pocket would make you cool. There was a cool cachet to
2:57:13 > 2:57:19it, but each music paper had its own clump of fans, Sounds would have its
2:57:19 > 2:57:24fans as well. I remember it being good on post punk in the 70s and
2:57:24 > 2:57:33then it became a metal paper. The NME was for indie music.
2:57:34 > 2:57:36NME was for indie music. It would be your badge of coolness if you were
2:57:36 > 2:57:39into indie music, sixth form, book form, whatever. The writing was
2:57:39 > 2:57:42really good. Kevin was talking about photographs. The photography was
2:57:42 > 2:57:47good. I disagree with Kevin slightly. I like looking at
2:57:47 > 2:57:52photographs online as well. Kevin's photographs look fantastic on an
2:57:52 > 2:57:56iPhone.Great photographs can survive on a keg of media. We have
2:57:56 > 2:58:04got some of your photographs, Kevin. This is a shot of oasis.
2:58:10 > 2:58:14That photograph was taken in Manchester. We had to pretend we had
2:58:14 > 2:58:19been to New York with the band because they had already done, I had
2:58:19 > 2:58:26shot them for Fox, the companion magazine to the NME. The paper had
2:58:26 > 2:58:30decided they wanted to trail it the week before so they took one of the
2:58:30 > 2:58:34pictures out of the session and pretended we are done it in New
2:58:34 > 2:58:38York.A picture of the two them together would be worth quite a bit
2:58:38 > 2:58:45now. The next one is the Stone Roses. What is the last one? It is
2:58:45 > 2:58:50Morrissey. Tell us about that picture, with his back to the
2:58:50 > 2:58:58camera.Yes, we put Morrissey on the cover of the NME at any opportunity.
2:58:58 > 2:59:02I just wanted to see him on a Japanese tour. I suggested to
2:59:02 > 2:59:05Morrissey that rather than do an interview, which he did not feel he
2:59:05 > 2:59:09had anything more to say, having done about six already that year, I
2:59:09 > 2:59:16said to him, why don't you write the picture captions? I spent a week
2:59:16 > 2:59:21with him in Japan, and sent him a selection of pictures. I expected
2:59:21 > 2:59:31him to send me a typed list of captions on the road
2:59:33 > 2:59:35captions on the road each one in crayon and a need for sheet of paper
2:59:35 > 2:59:38which was a really beautiful piece of artwork, actually, and we ran
2:59:38 > 2:59:41those on the pictures with the feature.For some people it will
2:59:41 > 2:59:42feel like we're being nostalgia. Move on, things change. In a sense,
2:59:42 > 2:59:48it is sad it has gone, people have lost jobs. There is still a rock
2:59:48 > 2:59:52weekly magazine, Karanka. Music moves forward, it is about
2:59:52 > 2:59:58technology, there is great writing out there, great websites. There are
2:59:58 > 3:00:02still good young writers out there and good bands.Do we need to have
3:00:02 > 3:00:08it in print?What about smash hits? It is fantastic for covering what it
3:00:08 > 3:00:13was covering. It was more about pop music. Each thing represented its
3:00:13 > 3:00:18own scene, the NME was covering indie, smash hits were covering pop
3:00:18 > 3:00:22music. It was a well written magazines you have not upset me.
3:00:22 > 3:00:26Lovely to see you. Thank you for your time. The headlines in just a
3:00:26 > 3:00:32moment.
3:01:24 > 3:01:27Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
3:01:27 > 3:01:29The attempted murder of a former Russian spy and his daughter.
3:01:29 > 3:01:33The government will hold a second emergency meeting today.
3:01:33 > 3:01:36Nearly 200 military experts in chemical warfare have been
3:01:36 > 3:01:43deployed to help the investigation.
3:01:53 > 3:01:55Good morning, it's Saturday 10th March.
3:01:55 > 3:02:00Also this morning...
3:02:00 > 3:02:03A deal "very much in the making" - President Trump strikes a positive
3:02:03 > 3:02:06tone over a potential meeting with Kim Jong-un,
3:02:06 > 3:02:09but the White House says North Korea must take "concrete steps"
3:02:09 > 3:02:12before it can take place.
3:02:12 > 3:02:15Tackling the recruitment crisis in England's schools -
3:02:15 > 3:02:19the Education secretary promises to cut teachers' workloads.
3:02:19 > 3:02:21In sport, a first medal for Britain at the winter Paralympics.
3:02:21 > 3:02:24And it's a silver for visually impaired skier Millie Knight
3:02:24 > 3:02:28and her guide Brett Wild in the downhill skiing.
3:02:28 > 3:02:30It's absolutely fantastic.
3:02:30 > 3:02:33This time last year I sustained quite a severe concussion on this
3:02:33 > 3:02:37slope where I crashed into the finish line.
3:02:37 > 3:02:39And to now cross the line today, as Paralympic silver
3:02:39 > 3:02:40medallists, is amazing.
3:02:40 > 3:02:42And Louise has the weather...
3:02:42 > 3:02:45Good morning.
3:02:45 > 3:02:46Some good news for this Saturday.
3:02:46 > 3:02:49Mild for all of us, but there will be some rain around.
3:02:49 > 3:02:56More details on exactly where coming up shortly.
3:02:56 > 3:02:57Good morning.
3:02:57 > 3:02:58First, our main story.
3:02:58 > 3:03:01The Home Secretary will chair a second meeting of the government's
3:03:01 > 3:03:02emergency Cobra committee today, as investigations continue
3:03:02 > 3:03:07into the poisoning of a former Russian spy.
3:03:07 > 3:03:09Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are both in a serious
3:03:09 > 3:03:11condition in hospital in Salisbury after being exposed
3:03:11 > 3:03:13to a nerve agent.
3:03:13 > 3:03:16Specialist troops trained in chemical warfare have been
3:03:16 > 3:03:20deployed to the city.
3:03:20 > 3:03:25Let's go to Salisbury now, and our correspondent Sarah Corker.
3:03:25 > 3:03:34Developments happening all the time. What's the latest?As you say, it
3:03:34 > 3:03:38was yesterday when the military swept into Salisbury. Some soldiers,
3:03:38 > 3:03:42specially trained in chemical warfare. We saw images of some of
3:03:42 > 3:03:45them in protective suits and gas masks, showing how serious this
3:03:45 > 3:03:50situation is. We saw vehicles and objects being moved by the Army
3:03:50 > 3:03:54yesterday. Today we are expecting the focus could be on ambulances at
3:03:54 > 3:03:59the hospital, they could be taken away for decontamination.
3:03:59 > 3:04:04Investigators are trying to piece together a timeline of events. The
3:04:04 > 3:04:11movements of Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia on that Sunday before
3:04:11 > 3:04:14they became violently ill. We have seen police activity at his home. At
3:04:14 > 3:04:17the cemetery where his wife and son are buried. When I went past earlier
3:04:17 > 3:04:22we saw at least three police vans and a cordon still in place. The
3:04:22 > 3:04:27Zizzi restaurant around the corner from where we are now, there are
3:04:27 > 3:04:31screens up there in front of the restaurant. And a police officer is
3:04:31 > 3:04:35on guard. We are in the Park, close to the park bench and the tent
3:04:35 > 3:04:40behind me, and that's where the effects of this chemical agent were
3:04:40 > 3:04:44first seen. Later this afternoon Home Secretary Amber Rudd will chair
3:04:44 > 3:04:48an emergency Cobra meeting. That's an emergency briefing, where there
3:04:48 > 3:04:53will be top security and intelligence officials. Civil
3:04:53 > 3:04:56servants and ministers also present. They will look at where they are
3:04:56 > 3:05:00with the progress of the investigation. It's not clear at
3:05:00 > 3:05:03this stage whether the Home Secretary will give any kind of
3:05:03 > 3:05:07public statement after that meeting concludes, but the major questions
3:05:07 > 3:05:11remain. When and where was the chemical agent administered, who
3:05:11 > 3:05:17administered it, and why?
3:05:17 > 3:05:20President Trump has tweeted that a deal with North Korea is "very
3:05:20 > 3:05:22much in the making", which he said would be
3:05:22 > 3:05:23very good for the world.
3:05:23 > 3:05:26The White House says he won't meet Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang
3:05:26 > 3:05:28takes concrete steps to end its nuclear programme.
3:05:28 > 3:05:31Our correspondent Robin Brant is in Seoul.
3:05:31 > 3:05:38What's the feeling in South Korea?
3:05:39 > 3:05:43Let's talk about those mixed messages coming from the White House
3:05:43 > 3:05:47overnight first of all. Everybody was startled there by the news
3:05:47 > 3:05:50President Trump had accepted the invitation to sit down with Kim
3:05:50 > 3:05:54Jong-un. Then we had from White House press secretary is that it
3:05:54 > 3:05:57looked like there were preconditions, concrete steps, she
3:05:57 > 3:06:00said, were needed to come from Pyongyang before the meeting could
3:06:00 > 3:06:07go ahead. There was not more detail, but that was about the process of
3:06:07 > 3:06:12denuclearisation from the North. Other sources around the White House
3:06:12 > 3:06:16in the last few hours saying there are no preconditions and the meeting
3:06:16 > 3:06:20will go ahead. There do not need to be tangible signs of concrete steps.
3:06:20 > 3:06:23The meeting will happen by the end of May, but we don't know where or
3:06:23 > 3:06:30when. The reporting from Washington is that the meeting will go ahead.
3:06:30 > 3:06:35Nonetheless, a confusing picture. In terms of here in Seoul in South
3:06:35 > 3:06:38Korea, the country's president is hugely optimistic about what this
3:06:38 > 3:06:44meeting could bring. He has helped to engineer it and bring it about,
3:06:44 > 3:06:46President Moon Jae-in saying yesterday that he thought the news
3:06:46 > 3:06:51of this meeting was a miracle. He is describing the prospect of these two
3:06:51 > 3:06:58men sitting down as being a milestone on the road to realising a
3:06:58 > 3:07:04lasting peace, and that's even before the meeting happens and
3:07:04 > 3:07:07before we know where and when it will happen. He is hugely
3:07:07 > 3:07:11optimistic. Others are more pessimistic and cynical. North
3:07:11 > 3:07:14Koreans in the past have promised to freeze their nuclear weapons
3:07:14 > 3:07:18programme. They have promised to freeze their missile development
3:07:18 > 3:07:22programme and when they don't get what they want, they go back on
3:07:22 > 3:07:25that. There is a differing view among many, but still an optimism
3:07:25 > 3:07:30that it looks like this meeting will happen, the first between a sitting
3:07:30 > 3:07:35US president and a leader of North Korea and that in itself makes it
3:07:35 > 3:07:37hugely impressive.
3:07:37 > 3:07:40An 85-year-old man has died while waiting in an Accident
3:07:40 > 3:07:41and Emergency unit because of "dangerous overcrowding",
3:07:41 > 3:07:42according to a hospital boss.
3:07:42 > 3:07:45The man suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting to see a senior
3:07:45 > 3:07:47consultant at Northampton General Hospital.
3:07:47 > 3:07:49A leaked email from the trust's medical director describes his death
3:07:49 > 3:07:51as "due entirely to dangerous overcrowding in the department".
3:07:51 > 3:07:54In a statement the hospital said the long wait for
3:07:54 > 3:07:58treatment was unacceptable.
3:07:58 > 3:08:02The National Rifle Association has mounted a legal challenge to new gun
3:08:02 > 3:08:04control measures in Florida drawn up in the wake of a school shooting
3:08:04 > 3:08:06last month which left 17 people dead.
3:08:06 > 3:08:09It says the new law, which will raise the legal age
3:08:09 > 3:08:13to purchase firearms, but also allows the training
3:08:13 > 3:08:19and arming of school staff, is unconstitutional.
3:08:19 > 3:08:21Teachers in England could see their workloads cut,
3:08:21 > 3:08:25under proposals being set out today by the Education
3:08:25 > 3:08:28under proposals being set out today by the Education Secretary.
3:08:28 > 3:08:31He will tell a headteachers' conference in Birmingham that long
3:08:31 > 3:08:34working hours and too much red tape are becoming a barrier to recruiting
3:08:34 > 3:08:36and retaining staff.
3:08:36 > 3:08:40It comes after research shows headteachers have increased spending
3:08:40 > 3:08:43on supply teachers. Here's more from education correspondent Elaine
3:08:43 > 3:08:45Dunkley.
3:08:45 > 3:08:47This is Passmores Academy in Essex.
3:08:47 > 3:08:50Like so many schools, it's struggling to recruit teachers.
3:08:50 > 3:08:52Classrooms around the country are now relying on agency supply
3:08:52 > 3:08:55teachers to cover permanent vacancies.
3:08:55 > 3:08:58We employ supply staff within our school, a long-term supply,
3:08:58 > 3:09:00so they get to know the students.
3:09:00 > 3:09:03But when we have to use short-term supply, they don't know
3:09:03 > 3:09:05the systems or the students.
3:09:05 > 3:09:09There is a lack of trust that often comes, when you build up
3:09:09 > 3:09:10a relationship, isn't there.
3:09:10 > 3:09:13It is quite erosive of standards, potentially.
3:09:13 > 3:09:16In a survey by the Association of School and College Leaders,
3:09:16 > 3:09:1971% of head teachers who responded said they had had to increase
3:09:19 > 3:09:21the amount they spend on agency supply teachers over
3:09:21 > 3:09:24the past three years.
3:09:24 > 3:09:26Nearly one fifth spent between 6% and 10% of their budget
3:09:26 > 3:09:27on supply teachers.
3:09:27 > 3:09:30According to the most recent government figures,
3:09:30 > 3:09:37schools are spending £835 million per year on supply agencies.
3:09:37 > 3:09:41The issue isn't just recruitment, but stopping
3:09:41 > 3:09:43existing teachers leaving.
3:09:43 > 3:09:46For me it was a multitude of factors.
3:09:46 > 3:09:48I found the workload and the job itself consuming.
3:09:48 > 3:09:52I would work 65 or 70 hour weeks.
3:09:52 > 3:09:58With planning, marking, the assessments you're doing.
3:09:58 > 3:10:02The actual teaching part probably took up the least time of anything!
3:10:02 > 3:10:05Today, the government will announce a strategy drive to improve
3:10:05 > 3:10:07teachers' workloads, which includes no changes
3:10:07 > 3:10:11to the national curriculum for GCSEs and A-levels,
3:10:11 > 3:10:14and no new tests for primary schools - measures which the government says
3:10:14 > 3:10:17will attract new teachers and stop experienced ones leaving.
3:10:17 > 3:10:24Elaine Dunkley, BBC News.
3:10:27 > 3:10:30If you've been watching this week, you'll have seen that we've
3:10:30 > 3:10:32been keeping up to date with Zoe Ball's Sport
3:10:32 > 3:10:33Relief challenge.
3:10:33 > 3:10:35She crossed the line last night!
3:10:35 > 3:10:37We should warn you that there's some flash photography in the pictures
3:10:37 > 3:10:41we're about to show you.
3:10:41 > 3:10:45Zoe arrived in Brighton after cycling 350 miles from Blackpool.
3:10:45 > 3:10:48Yesterday was a tough day with lots of big
3:10:48 > 3:10:52hills and heavy rain.
3:10:52 > 3:10:54But it's all been worth it.
3:10:54 > 3:10:55She's raised more than half-a-million
3:10:55 > 3:10:59pounds for Sport Relief.
3:10:59 > 3:11:07You can still donate online.
3:11:08 > 3:11:12She was with us yesterday. And her father, Johnny Ball, wishing her
3:11:12 > 3:11:19well. He's a non-cyclist, doesn't cycle at all.He said he bought a
3:11:19 > 3:11:25bike and it went straight back in the shed.I'm sure Zoe Ball Leeds
3:11:25 > 3:11:27will be recovering this morning.
3:11:27 > 3:11:30A week ago, the name Sergei Skripal was one that very few people knew.
3:11:30 > 3:11:33But now the attempted murder in Salisbury of the ex-Russian spy
3:11:33 > 3:11:36and his daughter Yulia, has made headlines all over the world.
3:11:36 > 3:11:38More details about his life have also been revealed.
3:11:38 > 3:11:40Before he was released in a spy-swap, he spent time
3:11:40 > 3:11:42in a Russian penal labour camp.
3:11:42 > 3:11:46But what else will investigators be trying to establish?
3:11:46 > 3:11:50Let's talk to the former MI5 intelligence officer Annie Machon.
3:11:50 > 3:11:55Good to have you with us again. We spoke to you earlier in the week as
3:11:55 > 3:11:59some details were coming through. What do you make of how this story
3:11:59 > 3:12:03is developing?I think it is developing exactly the way the
3:12:03 > 3:12:07investigation should. There will be three strands. First of all, to get
3:12:07 > 3:12:11boots on the ground, to look at trying to find eyewitnesses on the
3:12:11 > 3:12:16day, to sift through CCTV coverage and do the standard police work
3:12:16 > 3:12:19around Salisbury about what exactly the movements were and where the
3:12:19 > 3:12:30attack could have happened. The second one is key, to get a warrant.
3:12:30 > 3:12:34This would be on the intelligence side, to go through the electronic
3:12:34 > 3:12:37communications of Skripal and his daughter and to see what he is
3:12:37 > 3:12:42involved in at the moment. He was picked clean as an intelligence
3:12:42 > 3:12:47agent years ago when he was prosecuted by the Russians. He will
3:12:47 > 3:12:50have also been debriefed over weeks after he came back to the UK after
3:12:50 > 3:12:54the spy swap in 2010. In terms of intelligence value, I don't think
3:12:54 > 3:12:58there will be much left. If I were investigating this now, if I was
3:12:58 > 3:13:02sitting behind a desk at MI5, I would be focusing on looking at his
3:13:02 > 3:13:09work over the last eight years since he came to the UK. Good that provide
3:13:09 > 3:13:12some sort of motivation? Could he have been involved in some dodgy
3:13:12 > 3:13:17deals? We don't know. I think that's where the focus will be. The third
3:13:17 > 3:13:21prong of the investigation, now they have identified what is described as
3:13:21 > 3:13:27an unusual and exotic nerve agent used in the attack, identify which
3:13:27 > 3:13:32laboratories are known to make it, and how it could have been acquired
3:13:32 > 3:13:36by a state or criminal act support if somebody has been released or
3:13:36 > 3:13:42been part of a spy swap stoplights if somebody has been released or
3:13:42 > 3:13:47been part of a spy swap, -- stop
3:13:53 > 3:13:58after a spy swap, is on the assumption that they will be left
3:13:58 > 3:14:01alone?They will have been debriefed, in the run-up to the
3:14:01 > 3:14:11trial, Skripal will have
3:14:11 > 3:14:14trial, Skripal will have been in and it would be very unusual for
3:14:14 > 3:14:18somebody to be attacked over almost a decade since it has been released.
3:14:18 > 3:14:21That's why I suggest they need to look at what he has been involved in
3:14:21 > 3:14:28more recently to provide motivation. We know a Cobra meeting Cabinet
3:14:28 > 3:14:32Office briefing room meeting will take place today. Amber Rudd has
3:14:32 > 3:14:36made comments. It's very difficult, if no blame has been apportioned
3:14:36 > 3:14:42yet, as to help can come from. I'm thinking, should the Kremlin be
3:14:42 > 3:14:46helping us? Indeed, the Kremlin has offered to help us. A statement from
3:14:46 > 3:14:49the Foreign Minister of Russia yesterday, Sergei Lavrov, said they
3:14:49 > 3:14:55would be happy to help.They are keen to make sure no blame is
3:14:55 > 3:14:58attached. Home Secretary Amber Rudd said clearly that the police need
3:14:58 > 3:15:07space and time to pull together the evidence chain to find out what
3:15:07 > 3:15:12happened before we point fingers. There is a febrile environment are
3:15:12 > 3:15:19blaming Russia for everything, to assume it is a state led attack. But
3:15:19 > 3:15:23these kinds of attacks, and chemical weapons can go missing and be used
3:15:23 > 3:15:29and misused by road actors. We have seen this with chemical weapons go
3:15:29 > 3:15:32missing in Ukraine after the fall of the Soviet Union and we have seen it
3:15:32 > 3:15:37in America with strange militarised anthrax being sent through the post
3:15:37 > 3:15:40after 9/11. Accidents can happen and people can be subverted. These
3:15:40 > 3:15:44weapons can fall into the wrong hands so it's not necessarily a
3:15:44 > 3:15:48state actor. That's precisely the evidential chain the police and
3:15:48 > 3:15:51intelligence agencies will be trying to work on now.
3:15:55 > 3:16:00It is good for you to is because again on Breakfast as this
3:16:00 > 3:16:05investigation continues. Thanks for your time. Let's have a look at
3:16:05 > 3:16:11today's papers.
3:16:11 > 3:16:16today's papers. Let's start with the front page of the Times newspaper.
3:16:16 > 3:16:20There are some pictures in the papers and you will be aware that
3:16:20 > 3:16:25crofters on. This dog is a wire-haired daks hand. It is being
3:16:25 > 3:16:31groomed. -- -- hanged.
3:16:32 > 3:16:34groomed. -- -- hanged. Teenagers face being cut off from social media
3:16:34 > 3:16:40sites after a few hours browsing. Ministers looking at imposing a
3:16:40 > 3:16:45limit on the time spent by children on social media. You seem to be an
3:16:45 > 3:16:49expert on this -- on dogs. Can you tell me the name of this one.
3:16:49 > 3:16:54I thought it was an Afghan hound. The nose does not look quite long
3:16:54 > 3:16:58enough so I could be wrong. You are an expert on dog breeds.
3:16:58 > 3:17:02I am probably completely wrong. The front page of the Guardian is
3:17:02 > 3:17:07picking up the story that the US will take a tough stance in
3:17:07 > 3:17:10discussions with North Korea. It is assumed that Donald Trump will take
3:17:10 > 3:17:17a hardline position when he has the summit with Kim Jong-un.
3:17:17 > 3:17:19Like many papers throughout the week, the images from Salisbury
3:17:19 > 3:17:22dominating the front pages. You will be aware by now that amongst the
3:17:22 > 3:17:29investigations going on, the grave of Sergei Skripal's wife is being
3:17:29 > 3:17:36examined. You can see the forces wearing special protection sits on
3:17:36 > 3:17:40the scene. We are joined by Professor Cary
3:17:40 > 3:17:45Cooper.Good morning.Good morning to you. This is linked to what we
3:17:45 > 3:17:51were talking about, the former MI5 officer, about this former Russian
3:17:51 > 3:17:54spy, his daughter being poisoned and the impact this will have on
3:17:54 > 3:18:00diplomatic relations.Yes, they are all thinking about it now, what do
3:18:00 > 3:18:05we do? The World Cup coming is the perfect opportunity, and the Times
3:18:05 > 3:18:10has this piece saying that ministers are thinking about, if there is
3:18:10 > 3:18:14irrefutable evidence, which is what you have to get, but obviously, it
3:18:14 > 3:18:18is probably a good way of doing it rather than a trade war something
3:18:18 > 3:18:22else, but who knows what they will come up with. If they get the
3:18:22 > 3:18:28evidence, I think we will see a boycott. Right now, they are already
3:18:28 > 3:18:33talking to the Americans, the Europeans, by doing this, not just
3:18:33 > 3:18:37the UK, but sending a statement about using chemical weapons.To be
3:18:37 > 3:18:41clear, you said boycott, and their own Foreign Secretary, there were
3:18:41 > 3:18:46some alarm, when he mentioned some kind of boycott. Initially people
3:18:46 > 3:18:49were saying, are England not going to the World Cup? The only
3:18:49 > 3:18:56suggestion is that dignitaries, Parliament representatives,
3:18:56 > 3:18:59government, they would not be there. In some ways, people will say, what
3:18:59 > 3:19:05difference will that make?I think they are saying that now, Charlie,
3:19:05 > 3:19:08because the bit about irrefutable evidence. Until they really can
3:19:08 > 3:19:15prove that it came from Russia, they will not be able to do that.With
3:19:15 > 3:19:20Litvinenko, that took 14 years.It does not happen in a hurry.
3:19:20 > 3:19:23Absolutely. The adjoining story to that was Mourinho. That is
3:19:23 > 3:19:33interesting. She has a five-week contract, five days.It is five days
3:19:33 > 3:19:37as a pundit for Russia today. It is thought to be worth around £1
3:19:37 > 3:19:44million.He was queried at a press conference, given what is happening
3:19:44 > 3:19:51with the Russian spicing, will you continue to do that? The press
3:19:51 > 3:19:54officer said, we are not here to talk about that. Who knows what is
3:19:54 > 3:20:01going to happen? It will be interesting to see how the West
3:20:01 > 3:20:05responds, if this evidence transpires.Back in the world that
3:20:05 > 3:20:09more of us recognise, the world we live in, questions about how long we
3:20:09 > 3:20:16live in it for?This is amazing. ONS says that if you live in an affluent
3:20:16 > 3:20:21area, they were comparing one town in Cumbria, one village in Cumbria,
3:20:21 > 3:20:27with Middlehaven in Middlesbrough. Rich against relatively pure. What
3:20:27 > 3:20:36they found was, great Corby ranks as the top location for longevity in
3:20:36 > 3:20:42the UK, with women living to 97.2 years. Compared with the poorest
3:20:42 > 3:20:48bit, they live to 74. What is interesting, the healthy life
3:20:48 > 3:20:53expectancy bit. How long will you stay healthy? If you live in great
3:20:53 > 3:20:58Corby, you will stay healthy until you're 75, but if you live in
3:20:58 > 3:21:05Middlehaven, you will stay healthy only 247. Mid-40s. That is amazing.
3:21:05 > 3:21:10We should be looking at that. We are supposed to be living in a healthy
3:21:10 > 3:21:15age, the UK, we are an advanced country. The fifth most productive
3:21:15 > 3:21:18country in the world. That is extraordinary.It is kind of
3:21:18 > 3:21:25upsetting. What has upset me is this story. I thought you would like
3:21:25 > 3:21:30this. I do not like it, but you explain the story. Many people will
3:21:30 > 3:21:35not like it, male or female.A study was done by the University of
3:21:35 > 3:21:44Abertay in Scotland, in Dundee. The evidence has been that if you are a
3:21:44 > 3:21:49relatively attractive women you're more likely to get a job than a less
3:21:49 > 3:21:55attractive one. -- woman.This study does an experiment.And men as well.
3:21:55 > 3:22:00It applies to men and women. In this case, they did things with women,
3:22:00 > 3:22:03they had on woman winning a lot of make up and another on having no
3:22:03 > 3:22:10make-up. She was the same woman, but they did it, and they had comparable
3:22:10 > 3:22:16people rating them. The woman coup worthy make up was rated as less of
3:22:16 > 3:22:20a potential leader than the woman to did not have make-up on, the point
3:22:20 > 3:22:25being, that if you put make-up on and let really attractive, you will
3:22:25 > 3:22:31not be perceived by people... You are less plausible. You're less
3:22:31 > 3:22:37plausible as a leader. That is horrible. We are into this whole
3:22:37 > 3:22:40gender pay thing. There is still a glass ceiling for women in the
3:22:40 > 3:22:45workplace.It is an interesting item in. You could argue the other way
3:22:45 > 3:22:51around, that it is rather refreshing. Have I got is the right
3:22:51 > 3:22:53way around? They are saying that if you were less make up your more
3:22:53 > 3:22:59plausible? Yes, as a leader. Is that not refreshing? That people are not
3:22:59 > 3:23:06duped by cosmetics. One of the things it is saying is that heavy...
3:23:06 > 3:23:12Sorry. Heavy make-up upsets me. It is a judgment on how you should
3:23:12 > 3:23:16present yourself in terms of make-up. Winning like make up and
3:23:16 > 3:23:20being demure or controlled with your make up is fine, but heavy make
3:23:20 > 3:23:26up... People, male or female, wearing make up are being judged on
3:23:26 > 3:23:32how they have put it on. Just forget that, it is about you. The result we
3:23:32 > 3:23:35want is, it does not make a difference.
3:23:35 > 3:23:38The other upsetting thing is it is men and women who were asked to
3:23:38 > 3:23:45evaluate.It is not meant judging women. In Hollywood, I heard people
3:23:45 > 3:23:49saying, look at those women that are winning their black dresses. They
3:23:49 > 3:23:53are dressing to the nines. You know what that means. I thought that was
3:23:53 > 3:23:58horrible. They should not be seeing about sexual harassment staff
3:23:58 > 3:24:02because they are dressing like that. I thought that was appalling. --
3:24:02 > 3:24:09sexual harassment things. The last story I have, and quick one on
3:24:09 > 3:24:16Mother's Day. It is Mother's Day tomorrow. Guess what.It is mum's
3:24:16 > 3:24:26day. No, it is not.The card
3:24:26 > 3:24:28day. No, it is not.The card makers are doing cards that say things like
3:24:28 > 3:24:34this. It comes from kids' programmes. Kids watch television
3:24:34 > 3:24:37and they see the American ones dominating children's television
3:24:37 > 3:24:44viewing habits.New words have come into being. Our traditional
3:24:44 > 3:24:49directors says it is Mothering Sunday. Good, I am with you. Good to
3:24:49 > 3:24:54see you this morning.Thank you very much.You, too.
3:24:54 > 3:24:54see you this morning.Thank you very much.You, too.
3:24:54 > 3:25:00Controversial discussions. Are you? I am loving it. It is feisty. It is
3:25:00 > 3:25:06get up and come to work day for me tomorrow. Good morning. I am trying
3:25:06 > 3:25:09to find the silver lining for this weekend. I managed to find some
3:25:09 > 3:25:15sunshine this morning. Not a bad start in the south-east after a
3:25:15 > 3:25:19miserable start last night with heavy rain but the rain has moved
3:25:19 > 3:25:23further north. It is sitting across northern England at the moment. This
3:25:23 > 3:25:29is Hull just a narrow goal, gloomy with low cloud and light rain. The
3:25:29 > 3:25:32rain will drift its way north through the day but the good news as
3:25:32 > 3:25:38it is introducing this mild air across the country. After a cold
3:25:38 > 3:25:42night in Highland Scotland, the air will get to you as we go through the
3:25:42 > 3:25:46day. It will bring rain, on frontal system cleaning to the north,
3:25:46 > 3:25:52another pushing into the south-west. In France, it looks dry. Apparently
3:25:52 > 3:25:56there is an important rugby match taking place this afternoon. We will
3:25:56 > 3:26:01have rain in Ireland, but in France, for the England match, it looks like
3:26:01 > 3:26:06it will be 16 degrees with cloudy skies. There will be rain around in
3:26:06 > 3:26:12the UK, and it will move steadily north. Snow over higher ground in
3:26:12 > 3:26:16Scotland and behind it, showers following. For the afternoon in
3:26:16 > 3:26:22Scotland, we will start to see the mild air pushing in. Snow on higher
3:26:22 > 3:26:25ground but it will be an unsettled afternoon. Rain across Northern
3:26:25 > 3:26:30Ireland but double digits here, and heavy rain into the Lake District.
3:26:30 > 3:26:34Further south, the rain will be sherry into the afternoon and if the
3:26:34 > 3:26:40cloud continues to break up we will see some decent warmth, 13-15d.
3:26:40 > 3:26:43Anything above 15 degrees and it will be the warmest day of the year
3:26:43 > 3:26:47so far. The rain will move north overnight, and sit on the Northern
3:26:47 > 3:26:54Isles. Winds and murky conditions will develop with the moisture from
3:26:54 > 3:26:59the rain. Potential for fog in the early half of Mothering Sunday. Fog
3:26:59 > 3:27:02first thing in the morning, particularly through central and
3:27:02 > 3:27:06eastern England where it could linger for a time. It should lift
3:27:06 > 3:27:11away, and as we go through Sunday, the rain will sit on the Northern
3:27:11 > 3:27:16Isles, Scotland into northern England, it is a better day, with
3:27:16 > 3:27:20sunny spells. In the south, scattered showers, some could be
3:27:20 > 3:27:24heavy, possibly thundery, but it will be mild for all, double digits
3:27:24 > 3:27:28widely across the country, 12 degrees, and we have not seen in
3:27:28 > 3:27:31double figures in Scotland since the 20th
3:27:31 > 3:27:34double figures in Scotland since the 20th of February. Back to you.
3:27:34 > 3:27:39Thanks. I am doing housework, tidying up.
3:27:39 > 3:27:44I wonder how tidy it is with Michel Roux Jr, who is taking over the
3:27:44 > 3:27:51Saturday Kitchen after us.Argue a tidy chef? I am a very tidy chef.
3:27:51 > 3:27:59Obsessively tidy. Good morning. Our special guest today is onstage later
3:27:59 > 3:28:03in Young Frankenstein, so we better feed her art.It is Lesley Joseph.
3:28:03 > 3:28:09Good morning. Good morning, everyone. I have been waiting for
3:28:09 > 3:28:13this moment so long. You have to face your food heaven or food hell
3:28:13 > 3:28:17at the end of the show.What are your heavenly ingredients? Smoked
3:28:17 > 3:28:23salmon, I have to have smoked salmon every day. I adore smoked salmon. I
3:28:23 > 3:28:27am also really into ginger, because I do not know if that is my
3:28:27 > 3:28:31imagination, but I think there are some healing properties in Ginger so
3:28:31 > 3:28:37I have a little swig before the show every day, and vegetables. I love
3:28:37 > 3:28:43vegetables. Cauliflower, I love vegetables. And what about hell? To
3:28:43 > 3:28:51blue cheese. I do not like blue cheese. I do like it, but I am not
3:28:51 > 3:28:57in love with it, too much chocolate, too rich. I am avoiding chocolate at
3:28:57 > 3:29:02the moment, big-time.We will see at the end of the show. Two great chefs
3:29:02 > 3:29:07are here, Florence Knight, what will you be taking?Pan-fried pollock
3:29:07 > 3:29:14with almond period, and sauteed Perce Lane.And you are back as
3:29:14 > 3:29:19well. What will you be cooking?Pork curry from the south of Thailand
3:29:19 > 3:29:27with lots of fresh lime leaves. Yummy. And you are in charge of the
3:29:27 > 3:29:32winds?Challenging flavours, but I will provide deliciousness later on.
3:29:32 > 3:29:36And you guys at home are in charge of what Leslie Eades at the end of
3:29:36 > 3:29:41the show. Good to website for voting details.See you at ten o'clock.
3:29:41 > 3:29:45Thank you. The headlines coming up in just a moment.
3:30:40 > 3:30:44Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
3:30:44 > 3:30:50Louise will have the weekend's weather for you.
3:30:50 > 3:30:52And Michael have the sport.
3:30:52 > 3:30:54But first, a summary of this morning's main news.
3:30:54 > 3:30:57The Home Secretary will chair a second meeting of the government's
3:30:57 > 3:30:59emergency Cobra committee today, as investigations continue
3:30:59 > 3:31:01into the poisoning of a former Russian spy.
3:31:01 > 3:31:04Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia are both in a serious
3:31:04 > 3:31:07condition in hospital in Salisbury after being exposed
3:31:07 > 3:31:09to a nerve agent.
3:31:09 > 3:31:14Specialist troops trained in chemical warfare have been
3:31:14 > 3:31:15deployed to the city.
3:31:15 > 3:31:18The grave of Mr Skripal's wife, who was buried in 2012,
3:31:18 > 3:31:20and the memorial stone of his son, who was cremated last year,
3:31:20 > 3:31:22have been cordoned off.
3:31:22 > 3:31:25President Trump has tweeted that a deal with North Korea is "very
3:31:25 > 3:31:27much in the making", which he said would be
3:31:27 > 3:31:29very good for the world.
3:31:29 > 3:31:31The White House says he won't meet Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang
3:31:31 > 3:31:36takes concrete steps to end its nuclear programme.
3:31:36 > 3:31:41No sitting US president has ever met a leader from North Korea before.
3:31:41 > 3:31:43An 85-year-old man has died while waiting in an Accident
3:31:43 > 3:31:45and Emergency unit because of "dangerous overcrowding",
3:31:45 > 3:31:47according to a hospital boss.
3:31:47 > 3:31:50The man suffered a cardiac arrest while waiting to see a senior
3:31:50 > 3:31:52consultant at Northampton General Hospital.
3:31:52 > 3:31:55A leaked email from the trust's medical director describes his death
3:31:55 > 3:32:02as "due entirely to dangerous overcrowding in the department".
3:32:02 > 3:32:04In a statement, the hospital said the long wait for
3:32:04 > 3:32:06treatment was unacceptable.
3:32:06 > 3:32:10The National Rifle Association has mounted a legal challenge to new gun
3:32:10 > 3:32:13control measures in Florida drawn up in the wake of a school shooting
3:32:13 > 3:32:16last month which left 17 people dead.
3:32:16 > 3:32:19It says the new law, which will raise the legal age
3:32:19 > 3:32:21to purchase firearms, but also allows the training
3:32:21 > 3:32:24and arming of school staff, is unconstitutional.
3:32:24 > 3:32:29Teachers in England could see their workloads cut,
3:32:29 > 3:32:31under proposals being set out today by the Education Secretary.
3:32:31 > 3:32:34He will tell a headteachers' conference in Birmingham that long
3:32:34 > 3:32:38working hours and too much red tape are becoming a barrier to recruiting
3:32:38 > 3:32:46and retaining staff.
3:32:48 > 3:32:53We can now show your robot who has got the sack.
3:32:53 > 3:32:57He's been in the job just one day - but Flippy the Robot isn't up to it
3:32:57 > 3:32:59and has already been replaced by human resources.
3:32:59 > 3:33:01The burger-flipping arm had been serving customers
3:33:01 > 3:33:03at a restaurant in California, as the owners attempt
3:33:03 > 3:33:04to replace human cooks.
3:33:04 > 3:33:06But he's out already.
3:33:06 > 3:33:08Because he was just too slow and couldn't turn
3:33:08 > 3:33:15the burgers quickly enough.
3:33:15 > 3:33:18He has been replaced by a human. Quite nice to hear it that way
3:33:18 > 3:33:21round.
3:33:21 > 3:33:25We're told he's being reprogrammed.
3:33:25 > 3:33:31And we have also noticed you can't put cheese on the burgers either.
3:33:31 > 3:33:42Flip it turned out to of a flop. Working on that all morning!I'm
3:33:42 > 3:33:48roaring inside!The times I've helped you out and you are not there
3:33:48 > 3:33:52for me when I need you.It's good to see the humans making a comeback.
3:33:52 > 3:33:57Talk to us about the silver medal. That's why robots can't do sport,
3:33:57 > 3:34:02because they can't get excited and emotional about the first medal for
3:34:02 > 3:34:09Paralympics Team GB in Pyeongchang.
3:34:09 > 3:34:12She was out in the Alps a year ago when she had concussion, but Millie
3:34:12 > 3:34:16Knight, we never thought we would see this day, and she has won silver
3:34:16 > 3:34:22with Brett Wild. She is only 19 and only has 5% vision. But she hurtles
3:34:22 > 3:34:29down the mountain at around 70 mph. Just behind her guide who calls out
3:34:29 > 3:34:33instructions and wears a bright orange jacket. Despite that long
3:34:33 > 3:34:36time-out with concussion, Millie Knight and Brett Wild have got
3:34:36 > 3:34:38silver medals today.
3:34:38 > 3:34:40Our reporter Kate Gray is in Pyeongchang and earlier spoke
3:34:40 > 3:34:43to Britain's first medallists, and Kate, tell us why this
3:34:43 > 3:34:46is such an important medal for Millie and Brett.
3:34:46 > 3:34:50Absolutely. When it comes to Paralympic games, it's all about
3:34:50 > 3:34:54being on the podium, particularly as this is Millie Knight's second
3:34:54 > 3:34:57Paralympics. She has a lot of pressure on her shoulders, and even
3:34:57 > 3:35:00though it was a difficult year for her, she was hoping she could get on
3:35:00 > 3:35:04the podium, and today that happened in the downhill of the Alpine
3:35:04 > 3:35:12skiing, the toughest race, the speed race, they managed to win the first
3:35:12 > 3:35:17Team GB medal at this Olympics. Her team-mates actually had crashed out
3:35:17 > 3:35:20before them but luckily Millie Knight didn't see this happen. It
3:35:20 > 3:35:29didn't put her off. She managed to safely negotiate it
3:35:29 > 3:35:31safely negotiate it down the hill behind guide Brett Wild. I caught up
3:35:31 > 3:35:34with them just before they collected their medals.
3:35:34 > 3:35:35It's absolutely fantastic.
3:35:35 > 3:35:38This time last year I sustained quite a severe concussion on this
3:35:38 > 3:35:40slope, where I crashed into the finish line.
3:35:40 > 3:35:42To now cross the line today as Paralympic silver
3:35:42 > 3:35:43medallists is amazing.
3:35:43 > 3:35:46Were you nervous at the start, was that going through your mind?
3:35:46 > 3:35:48I certainly was nervous, but I guess that just
3:35:48 > 3:35:50means I cared about it.
3:35:50 > 3:35:52The moment I pushed out of the start gate, though,
3:35:52 > 3:35:53all the nerves went.
3:35:53 > 3:35:55Brett, you are guiding her down the mountain.
3:35:55 > 3:35:59It wasn't an especially easy downhill with incidents
3:35:59 > 3:36:03with other athletes.
3:36:03 > 3:36:06Yeah, it was a challenging downhill.
3:36:06 > 3:36:08The terrain, there was no popular point to rest.
3:36:08 > 3:36:10The conditions were challenging.
3:36:10 > 3:36:12It was softening up quite quick.
3:36:12 > 3:36:16But we had a game plan and we stuck to it and we are pleased
3:36:16 > 3:36:19to be back in the mix, a great start to the Paralympics.
3:36:19 > 3:36:21Is there a slight disappointment it wasn't gold this time?
3:36:21 > 3:36:23Definitely not.
3:36:23 > 3:36:26With the season we have had, it's been quite a frustrating season.
3:36:26 > 3:36:28We haven't got the results we wanted and coming back
3:36:28 > 3:36:32from concussion was really tough.
3:36:32 > 3:36:34This is the highest result we have had all season.
3:36:34 > 3:36:42For it to come at the Paralympic Games is wonderful.
3:36:43 > 3:36:47Smiles all round for Millie Knight and Brett Wild. They will be back in
3:36:47 > 3:36:52action tomorrow in the super G along with team-mates Mena Fitzpatrick and
3:36:52 > 3:36:57Kelly Gallagher. There was an exciting curling match going on
3:36:57 > 3:36:59earlier, Great Britain against curling world champions Norway. A
3:36:59 > 3:37:04tight match from start to finish and it all came down to the final stone.
3:37:04 > 3:37:07It was Norway's stone and they had to knock three of Great Britain's
3:37:07 > 3:37:12out of the way to win, they couldn't, and Great Britain won the
3:37:12 > 3:37:16match 5-2, a great result to start their campaign at the Paralympics.
3:37:16 > 3:37:20They will be back in action tomorrow, as will Millie Knight and
3:37:20 > 3:37:24many other British athletes. What a way to start, we already have a
3:37:24 > 3:37:29silver medal, and so much more to look forward to.
3:37:29 > 3:37:32It's the penultimate weekend of the Six Nations.
3:37:32 > 3:37:34In Paris, England will play France and in Dublin, Scotland
3:37:34 > 3:37:37will play Ireland.
3:37:37 > 3:37:40John Watson is at the city's Aviva Stadium this morning.
3:37:40 > 3:37:42And John, there's every chance there could be some party
3:37:42 > 3:37:46there in Dublin tonight.
3:37:46 > 3:37:55Hope you can stay.There could well be. Ireland could well wrap up the
3:37:55 > 3:37:58six Nations title this weekend. Who would have predicted that on this,
3:37:58 > 3:38:02the penultimate weekend? But if they beat Scotland later on and England
3:38:02 > 3:38:07fail to beat France in Paris than Ireland will have won their third
3:38:07 > 3:38:10six Nations title in five years. We could well see a party in Dublin
3:38:10 > 3:38:16later.What an achievement it would be for Ireland, not only the
3:38:16 > 3:38:21championship, which they can clinch today, but next Sunday, possibly on
3:38:21 > 3:38:24Saint Patrick's weekend at Twickenham, the grandson for them?
3:38:24 > 3:38:28Absolutely, that's what we are gearing towards. A lot of people
3:38:28 > 3:38:31were predicting before the tournament that we would see England
3:38:31 > 3:38:35and Ireland potentially win all their matches and then we would have
3:38:35 > 3:38:38seen that title decider, Grand Slam deciding match at Twickenham next
3:38:38 > 3:38:43weekend, where Ireland travel to play England, but Scotland blew that
3:38:43 > 3:38:47apart, beating England two weeks ago. I think that's certainly what
3:38:47 > 3:38:50we are looking towards, and we wait to see whether England can go there
3:38:50 > 3:38:54with something still to play for because they need to match the
3:38:54 > 3:38:58result Ireland produce here against Scotland later to keep their hopes
3:38:58 > 3:39:03of winning what would be a third six Nations title alive. Nobody has ever
3:39:03 > 3:39:09won 36 Nations title in a row.At least England know what they have to
3:39:09 > 3:39:14do in Paris because the Scotland and Ireland match will be over. -- big
3:39:17 > 3:39:25because nobody has ever won three six Nations in a row.
3:39:26 > 3:39:28six Nations in a row.Only the late Johnny Sexton drop goal salvaged
3:39:28 > 3:39:33something for Ireland against France. Everybody keeping eye on
3:39:33 > 3:39:37conditions in Paris. It looks like it will be dry. That will be key,
3:39:37 > 3:39:40because if you want to score tries you need fast flowing rugby and you
3:39:40 > 3:39:43need to get the ball into hands. England have picked a team that can
3:39:43 > 3:39:48provide that attacking threat. Mike Brown has dropped out at full-back
3:39:48 > 3:39:54with Anthony Watson coming in and Elliot Daly on the wing and jolly
3:39:54 > 3:40:03day as well. -- Jonny May as well. Dylan Hartley, the captain, misses
3:40:03 > 3:40:08out with injury so Owen Farrell steps up to captain the side. A good
3:40:08 > 3:40:15chance for him to cement his captain credentials. If they want to score,
3:40:15 > 3:40:18they will need the ball in hand. Let's hope the rain holds off
3:40:18 > 3:40:22certainly for English hopes later on.John Watson from his perch
3:40:22 > 3:40:26overlooking the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.
3:40:26 > 3:40:29Manchester City may be flying ahead in the Premier League title race,
3:40:29 > 3:40:31but the fight for second place is warming up nicely.
3:40:31 > 3:40:33Two of the contenders meet at lunchtime, with Manchester United
3:40:33 > 3:40:35facing Liverpool at Old Trafford.
3:40:35 > 3:40:40They played out a goalless draw, when they last met back in October,
3:40:40 > 3:40:44with United's defence tying Liverpool's attack in knots.
3:40:44 > 3:40:48It is not a battle of systems or philosophies.
3:40:48 > 3:40:53It's two very good football teams who face each other.
3:40:53 > 3:40:55When United will attack, I hope all my players
3:40:55 > 3:41:00are involved in defending, to be honest.
3:41:00 > 3:41:02If somebody says we are parking the bus in that moment,
3:41:02 > 3:41:07then we park the bus, I have no problem with that.
3:41:07 > 3:41:10All the old cliches alive today.
3:41:10 > 3:41:12In the Scottish Premiership, we have Rangers against Celtic
3:41:12 > 3:41:14in the Old Firm derby tomorrow.
3:41:14 > 3:41:16Last night, Hibernian moved 12 points clear
3:41:16 > 3:41:20of neighbours Hearts with a 2-0 win at Easter Road.
3:41:20 > 3:41:26Hibs are now just a point behind third-placed Aberdeen.
3:41:27 > 3:41:35It's now six one-day series wins in a row for England's cricketers. It
3:41:35 > 3:41:39might not be happening in the Test series, but it is in the 1-dayers.
3:41:39 > 3:41:42Jonny Bairstow hit a century, as England beat New Zealand by seven
3:41:42 > 3:41:44wickets in Christchurch to win the one-day series, 3-2.
3:41:44 > 3:41:46Chris Woakes bowled brilliantly, taking 3-32.
3:41:46 > 3:41:48Adil Rashid also claimed three wickets as the Black Caps
3:41:48 > 3:41:51were bowled out for 223 and England reached their target with the loss
3:41:51 > 3:41:53of just three wickets.
3:41:53 > 3:41:57They go onto a Test series later this month against New Zealand.
3:41:57 > 3:41:59In tennis, British number one Johanna Konta, said defeat
3:41:59 > 3:42:02in the second round at Indian Wells, was one of the tougher
3:42:02 > 3:42:09losses of her career.
3:42:09 > 3:42:12She was beaten in straight sets by 18-year old Marketa Vondrousova,
3:42:12 > 3:42:13ranked 54th in the world.
3:42:13 > 3:42:15Konta has won only eight matches, since she reached the semi-finals
3:42:15 > 3:42:16at Wimbledon last summer.
3:42:16 > 3:42:19Rory McIlroy's Masters preparations are not going to plan.
3:42:19 > 3:42:21He's missed the cut at the Valspar Championship
3:42:21 > 3:42:24in Florida, after another over-par round.
3:42:24 > 3:42:26Canada's Corey Conners, still leads, with Tiger Woods
3:42:26 > 3:42:33only two shots behind.
3:42:33 > 3:42:38It's less than a month until the start of the Commonwealth Games,
3:42:38 > 3:42:42and the home nations, plus some islands, are preparing
3:42:42 > 3:42:45to head to Australia's gold coast.
3:42:45 > 3:42:47They all compete separately.
3:42:47 > 3:42:51In the lead up to the games, I've been meeting some of the medals
3:42:51 > 3:42:52hopes from each team.
3:42:52 > 3:42:54This week I've been to Wales to meet an extraordinary
3:42:54 > 3:42:59table tennis player - who's only 11.
3:42:59 > 3:43:02Your first year at secondary school is a big step in life.
3:43:02 > 3:43:05But maybe not if you're Anna, who at the age of 11
3:43:05 > 3:43:08is about to represent her country on the other side of the world,
3:43:08 > 3:43:15and at the same time, rewrite the history books.
3:43:15 > 3:43:20DANCE MUSIC.
3:43:20 > 3:43:22Now, these pictures haven't been sped up.
3:43:22 > 3:43:25This is how good Anna is.
3:43:25 > 3:43:28At school, in her lunch hour, she doesn't give anybody a chance,
3:43:28 > 3:43:31as she builds up to competing at the senior Commonwealth
3:43:31 > 3:43:39Games in Australia.
3:43:39 > 3:43:40Feels really good, feels exciting.
3:43:40 > 3:43:41I am a bit nervous.
3:43:41 > 3:43:47Seeing new countries, and making new friends.
3:43:47 > 3:43:52It is mesmerising watching Anna, who, just remember, only recently
3:43:52 > 3:43:54left primary school and has already graduated to
3:43:54 > 3:43:56the Commonwealth games, thought to be the youngest athlete
3:43:56 > 3:44:00in history to do so.
3:44:00 > 3:44:03Certainly giving John who runs the table tennis club here right
3:44:03 > 3:44:05thrashing.
3:44:05 > 3:44:08No shame, John!
3:44:08 > 3:44:10It is breathtaking how fast she is, it is remarkable.
3:44:10 > 3:44:13We're very lucky as a school to have her here.
3:44:13 > 3:44:21I think she's going to do her school proud and do Wales proud as well.
3:44:21 > 3:44:24She's really nice and we didn't know at first that she was playing
3:44:24 > 3:44:28when we were in primary.
3:44:28 > 3:44:31It's really amazing how she is just 11 years old and she beats
3:44:31 > 3:44:32all the adult players.
3:44:32 > 3:44:35Anna started playing table tennis when she was five
3:44:35 > 3:44:37and because there are not enough players of her standard in Wales,
3:44:37 > 3:44:40she has recently spent time training in China against the best
3:44:40 > 3:44:42in the world.
3:44:42 > 3:44:45OK, Anna, I'm very nervous about this.
3:44:45 > 3:44:50You're going to make mincemeat out of me!
3:44:57 > 3:45:02This humiliation, as it is with most of the people she plays. This is
3:45:02 > 3:45:08what she's going to try to do...
3:45:09 > 3:45:10That spin!
3:45:10 > 3:45:11Look at that!
3:45:11 > 3:45:14This is what Anna will be doing, I'm sure, to many senior
3:45:14 > 3:45:15players on the Gold Coast.
3:45:15 > 3:45:19You have to be really fast.
3:45:19 > 3:45:20The spin there!
3:45:20 > 3:45:21That is crazy.
3:45:21 > 3:45:22Sorry.
3:45:22 > 3:45:24You have to be, like, thinking quick, which ball
3:45:24 > 3:45:28you're going to hit, what you are going to do,
3:45:28 > 3:45:30plan it before you play your point and then you rest for three seconds
3:45:30 > 3:45:31and then you play again.
3:45:31 > 3:45:33Just think about it.
3:45:33 > 3:45:36Anna now spends over three hours a day perfecting her shots
3:45:36 > 3:45:40because she wants to show the world she is not going to the Gold Coast
3:45:40 > 3:45:41just for the experience.
3:45:41 > 3:45:45I'm going there to try to win.
3:45:45 > 3:45:46Are you?
3:45:46 > 3:45:48What would it mean to get a medal?
3:45:48 > 3:45:53It would mean a lot.
3:45:53 > 3:45:56There's no pressure, you just have to play your game.
3:45:56 > 3:46:01And do your best. I feel like it's going to be big. I saw some videos
3:46:01 > 3:46:05last time, so many people, I don't know how many.
3:46:13 > 3:46:19you would see it leave her bat. Almost like a snake, it would bounce
3:46:19 > 3:46:23on me, then the other way, then twist.
3:46:23 > 3:46:29If you manage to get any contact, it will hit the net or go to the other
3:46:29 > 3:46:33side of the room, the next classroom, maybe. It will inspire
3:46:33 > 3:46:36those competing at the UK schools table tennis Championships taking
3:46:36 > 3:46:41place at Hinkley today. You're talking about football in a
3:46:41 > 3:46:48minute? Yes, a big passion of mine, and
3:46:48 > 3:46:51Tommy Charlton, the Big Brother of Bobby and Jack, will be going for a
3:46:51 > 3:46:53football trial.
3:46:53 > 3:46:56Some parts of Britain are set to see their hottest day of the year
3:46:56 > 3:46:59so far today with some lucky people getting temperatures
3:46:59 > 3:47:00in the mid-teens.
3:47:00 > 3:47:02You can hold off packing away the winter clothes in Scotland,
3:47:02 > 3:47:04though, because rain, hill snow and brisk winds
3:47:04 > 3:47:06will keep temperatures hovering around 5 degrees.
3:47:06 > 3:47:08Let's not dwell on the cold, though.
3:47:08 > 3:47:09We thought we'd bring you some lovely pictures
3:47:09 > 3:47:12of the first signs of spring.
3:47:12 > 3:47:25We will dwell on the worm bits. -- warm bits.
3:47:32 > 3:47:36That was very epic music. It was, I felt swept away.
3:47:36 > 3:47:39It was like a couple were going to be reunited on the clifftop.
3:47:39 > 3:47:43Or on the sofa. Let's find out what
3:47:43 > 3:47:44be reunited on the clifftop. Or on the sofa. Let's find out what
3:47:44 > 3:47:49is happening. They were lovely pictures. Amazing. I put in a
3:47:49 > 3:47:53request for a glamorous music Bangar graphics but it has fallen on deaf
3:47:53 > 3:47:57ears. Please feel free to sing along. I have some spring photos for
3:47:57 > 3:48:02you but this is the story in Greater London this morning, lovely sunny
3:48:02 > 3:48:07spells coming through. We could see temperatures of 15 degrees. Any
3:48:07 > 3:48:13higher than that, it will be the worm is Deysel for this year. I am
3:48:13 > 3:48:21sure we will peak higher than that over the next few months. Cloudy,
3:48:21 > 3:48:26damp, rainy and Hull. The rain is responsible for the mild air. Ban
3:48:26 > 3:48:29the weather front we are seeing a southerly wind pushing through. The
3:48:29 > 3:48:34yellow denotes where the male deer will drift north as we go through
3:48:34 > 3:48:40the day. Milder for all others, but wet for some. You can see that
3:48:40 > 3:48:45clearly. There will be held snow across Scotland as well. The next
3:48:45 > 3:48:48weather front will be sherry in nature so that means if you're
3:48:48 > 3:48:54heading to the Six Nations to watch Ireland, be for some rain. For the
3:48:54 > 3:49:00England match, it should be dry. 16 degrees, pleasant enough. Closer to
3:49:00 > 3:49:05home, the rain sits through Northern Ireland, northern England and
3:49:05 > 3:49:08stretches into Scotland. A little wet sleet and snow but it will turn
3:49:08 > 3:49:12to rain by the middle of the afternoon, so we do not have cause
3:49:12 > 3:49:19for concern. Milder air will develop, 4-8d the high. 10 degrees
3:49:19 > 3:49:24in Northern Ireland despite the rain. North-west England, close to
3:49:24 > 3:49:28the Lake District, heavier pulses of rain in the afternoon. For Wales,
3:49:28 > 3:49:32the Midlands and further south, surely bits and pieces and if the
3:49:32 > 3:49:38cloud breaks, temperatures will rise. Generally around 14 degrees.
3:49:38 > 3:49:42Fingers crossed for hire. The rain will continue to drift over the
3:49:42 > 3:49:48North and will sit in the Northern Isles for much of Sunday. The light
3:49:48 > 3:49:52winds will allow overnight fog to form and that could be a nuisance
3:49:52 > 3:49:59first thing in the morning. Eastern England could be murky for Mothering
3:49:59 > 3:50:03Sunday first thing. Hopefully it will lift and we will see dry
3:50:03 > 3:50:06weather for many. Showers developing in the south and west. Some will
3:50:06 > 3:50:14drift into Wales and the Midlands. Some will be heavy and sundry. For a
3:50:14 > 3:50:17the North, Northern Ireland and Scotland, 11 degrees lives possible
3:50:17 > 3:50:24and it will be a quiet story for many. All good news, but it look
3:50:24 > 3:50:28side we will see more rain on Mundy in the size and a quiet spell from
3:50:28 > 3:50:29Tuesday onwards.
3:50:29 > 3:50:31in the size and a quiet spell from Tuesday onwards. More details
3:50:31 > 3:50:36tomorrow. Take care. I will see you tomorrow as well. Have a good day.
3:50:38 > 3:50:40More often than not, after a baby's born,
3:50:40 > 3:50:43the umbilical cord is thrown away, and along with it a vital source
3:50:43 > 3:50:44of blood stem cells.
3:50:44 > 3:50:47This blood can be a lifeline for people with genetic disorders
3:50:47 > 3:50:49and cancers like leukaemia, but there's been a steady decline
3:50:49 > 3:50:50in donations since 2014.
3:50:50 > 3:50:51Steph's been finding out more.
3:50:51 > 3:50:55Now, when it comes to having a baby, donating the placenta is probably
3:50:55 > 3:50:58not something you have given much thought.
3:50:58 > 3:51:01But it is exactly what actress and my mate Kellie Shirley did.
3:51:01 > 3:51:05So why did you decide to donate cord blood?
3:51:05 > 3:51:10I found out that lots of places end up just chucking the cord away.
3:51:10 > 3:51:14And these people actually keep the cord blood,
3:51:14 > 3:51:19and they can harvest it for stem cells for use with blood cancer.
3:51:19 > 3:51:22So I had a boy and a girl, and the two placentas,
3:51:22 > 3:51:26and we think that Louie was a match for somebody, which was
3:51:26 > 3:51:28really, really amazing.
3:51:28 > 3:51:35He's a little legend, Louie, and Pearl is.
3:51:35 > 3:51:38Only ten hospitals in the UK, like this one, have a dedicated team
3:51:38 > 3:51:42of cord collectors like Zoe, who is on hand to
3:51:42 > 3:51:43help mothers willing to donate.
3:51:43 > 3:51:46So Zoe, this is where you collect the cord, isn't it?
3:51:46 > 3:51:49It is a bit much to show on telly, but explain what happens.
3:51:49 > 3:51:52So once we have got the placenta, we bring the placenta up
3:51:52 > 3:51:53here and carry out a collection.
3:51:53 > 3:51:56We insert the needle into the cord and drain as much
3:51:56 > 3:51:58blood from the placenta.
3:51:58 > 3:52:01The placenta is rich in stem cells, so the blood that we do collect
3:52:01 > 3:52:04from it can be used to transplant.
3:52:04 > 3:52:06So if you don't collect these placentas, they
3:52:06 > 3:52:07just get chucked away?
3:52:07 > 3:52:10It does, it only gets thrown in the bin.
3:52:10 > 3:52:12So we have a cord collection from what we have just collected.
3:52:12 > 3:52:18That is the blood we had just collected, and that is the blood
3:52:18 > 3:52:21That is the blood we had just collected, and that is the cord
3:52:21 > 3:52:22we take from the placenta.
3:52:22 > 3:52:25So it it has literally just come from the woman's body.
3:52:25 > 3:52:26It has.
3:52:26 > 3:52:27So what happens now?
3:52:27 > 3:52:30It gets tested to see if there is enough stem cells in,
3:52:30 > 3:52:32and once that is done, we determine if it's good
3:52:32 > 3:52:33enough for translate.
3:52:33 > 3:52:36Of course, it is a decision every family has to make for themselves.
3:52:36 > 3:52:39We popped in to see Sophie just before her Caesarean,
3:52:39 > 3:52:41to ask why she is going to donate.
3:52:41 > 3:52:43So with my first, I didn't even know about it.
3:52:43 > 3:52:46I didn't see any posters and wasn't told about it.
3:52:46 > 3:52:52And then with the second, the midwife mentioned it at one
3:52:52 > 3:52:54of my community midwife chats, and then a lot of my
3:52:54 > 3:52:56friends who were pregnant in Sunderland were like,
3:52:56 > 3:53:03oh, that is amazing, how have you done that?
3:53:03 > 3:53:05We want to do it, but then they couldn't,
3:53:05 > 3:53:07because they don't do it in Newcastle or Sunderland.
3:53:07 > 3:53:09It is a no-brainer for me.
3:53:09 > 3:53:10It's something I keep saying, as well.
3:53:10 > 3:53:11It's become a catchphrase.
3:53:11 > 3:53:12It's a no-brainer.
3:53:12 > 3:53:13Yes, totally.
3:53:13 > 3:53:16But having dedicated collectors on call 24/7 is costly.
3:53:16 > 3:53:19NHS Blood and Transplant say they deliberately target hospitals
3:53:19 > 3:53:25and communities that often struggle to find a stem cell match.
3:53:25 > 3:53:29Look, just a couple of hours after we left, Sonny arrived,
3:53:29 > 3:53:32and before he had opened his little eyes, he had already done
3:53:32 > 3:53:33something good in the world.
3:53:33 > 3:53:39Now, that is worth screaming about.
3:53:39 > 3:53:43Right on cue.
3:53:43 > 3:53:45It's more than 50 years since that wonderful moment when Jack
3:53:45 > 3:53:48and Sir Bobby Charlton lifted the World Cup, but now
3:53:48 > 3:53:50another Charlton is hoping to play for his country.
3:53:50 > 3:53:52Younger brother Tommy had to retire from football
3:53:52 > 3:53:59after an injury in his 20s.
3:53:59 > 3:54:02Now in his 70s, he has had a trial for the over-60s national
3:54:02 > 3:54:03walking football team.
3:54:03 > 3:54:06Tommy joins us now, with Paul Carr from the Walking
3:54:06 > 3:54:09Football Association.
3:54:09 > 3:54:15And another fan of walking football, Mike Bushell.You love it? Poll and
3:54:15 > 3:54:19I helped launch it but we did the first piece in Bury in Chesterfield
3:54:19 > 3:54:25five years ago. I love the way it is run. It has led to similar versions
3:54:25 > 3:54:30of other sports, rugby, basketball, netball. I am fascinated to see how
3:54:30 > 3:54:35Tommy has done, entering into the England team later today.Being
3:54:35 > 3:54:40realistic, there are an awful lot of very good footballers playing.
3:54:40 > 3:54:45You're very good, and you?No. What sort of person would I beat is
3:54:45 > 3:54:49saying yes that. Honest. In your 20s, you were
3:54:49 > 3:54:54playing professionally? No, I played amateur football. And you watch your
3:54:54 > 3:55:00brothers as they went on to do amazing things, obviously. Yes. On a
3:55:00 > 3:55:04fitness level, what have you done sports wise over the years?I have
3:55:04 > 3:55:08been in the mines rescue service where you had to be really fit. We
3:55:08 > 3:55:13played football three times a week, that was marvellous, it got me back
3:55:13 > 3:55:17into it. The walking football came along about five years ago,
3:55:17 > 3:55:24Rotherham United. The sports community trust started it up and I
3:55:24 > 3:55:30had a lick and had a go.I do not know if you can read, mature Millers
3:55:30 > 3:55:34Association. How old do you have to be to play
3:55:34 > 3:55:38walking football?What are the qualifications? Over 50. We do
3:55:38 > 3:55:42occasionally get young lads coming along and having a go. We played
3:55:42 > 3:55:47against young ladies. I was just telling you, one young lady in
3:55:47 > 3:55:53particular, she kicked me all over the park.People might think, it is
3:55:53 > 3:55:57people ambling around, but it is really intense and quite hard not to
3:55:57 > 3:56:00break into a run. How do you find it in terms of the physical side
3:56:00 > 3:56:05because it is an intense game?You have got to be fit, but the point I
3:56:05 > 3:56:09always try to make is that to get people to have a go at walking
3:56:09 > 3:56:14football, one of the benefits is you automatically get more of it, not
3:56:14 > 3:56:19only physically, but mentally. It has done wonders for me.You look
3:56:19 > 3:56:25very well, may I say. What are the rules? How do you distinguish
3:56:25 > 3:56:30between walking football and breaking the rules?That is one of
3:56:30 > 3:56:34big challenges. You're not supposed to run. Lots of people are coming to
3:56:34 > 3:56:40football find that difficult. You're meant to keep one part of one foot
3:56:40 > 3:56:45on the ground at all times. No contact as well because it needs to
3:56:45 > 3:56:47be a safe sport. We have 50-year-olds playing against
3:56:47 > 3:56:5270-year-olds and we do not want anyone to get injured.My impression
3:56:52 > 3:56:56watching that, when people are celebrating, they were running then.
3:56:56 > 3:57:00Is that OK? There is still the excitement, even in walking
3:57:00 > 3:57:07football.When you kick the ball, with the delay to leave the ground?
3:57:07 > 3:57:11In theory, probably not, but we let them get away with it. It is all
3:57:11 > 3:57:18about fun, fitness and friendship. Tommy, you're angling to get into
3:57:18 > 3:57:22what team and represent...? There is an England team organised by
3:57:22 > 3:57:27Stuart Langley. He is doing lots of very good work. He is the manager of
3:57:27 > 3:57:32the team. There is a selection process going on as we talk. I am
3:57:32 > 3:57:37going to have a go this afternoon and see if you think Samworth it.
3:57:37 > 3:57:43Have your brothers giving you any advice, any top tips?The only thing
3:57:43 > 3:57:47I can remember Jack saying is I am a silly old... By the is delighted,
3:57:47 > 3:57:56obviously. I would like to think, I have been so proud of them over the
3:57:56 > 3:57:59years, that maybe I could date -- do something and they would be proud of
3:57:59 > 3:58:04me.I am sure other people are thinking, the family resemblance is
3:58:04 > 3:58:12very clear. The smile. Do you get mistaken for your brothers and
3:58:12 > 3:58:16congratulated on your success in the World Cup quite a lot? It does
3:58:16 > 3:58:22happen.Do you correct people? I keep saying, you should have gone to
3:58:22 > 3:58:25Specsavers.Walking football really improves your passing, so maybe you
3:58:25 > 3:58:29have something to offer to the rest of the Charlton family. In later
3:58:29 > 3:58:35years, the passing skills.I have a little story that I tell about Bob.
3:58:35 > 3:58:40When I was in the miners rescued when we played three times a week,
3:58:40 > 3:58:43he stayed with us. I got them some trainers and said, have a game with
3:58:43 > 3:58:49the boys. We spun for who got first take and I won. I will have him. At
3:58:49 > 3:58:55half-time we were 7-0 up, and I had scored seven and Bob had laid them
