Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Munchetty. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
The attempted murder of a former
Russian spy and his daughter - | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
the government will hold a second
emergency meeting today. | 0:00:12 | 0:00:15 | |
Nearly 200 military experts
in chemical warfare have been | 0:00:15 | 0:00:17 | |
deployed to help the investigation. | 0:00:17 | 0:00:24 | |
Good morning, it's Saturday
the 10th of March. | 0:00:37 | 0:00:39 | |
Also this morning, a deal "very
much in the making." | 0:00:39 | 0:00:42 | |
President Trump strikes a positive
tone over a potential meeting | 0:00:42 | 0:00:45 | |
with Kim Jong-un, but the White
house says North Korea must take | 0:00:45 | 0:00:48 | |
"concrete steps" before
it can take place. | 0:00:48 | 0:00:50 | |

In sport, a first medal for Britain
at the Winter Paralympics, | 0:00:58 | 0:01:01 | |
and it's a silver for visually
impaired skiier Millie Knight | 0:01:01 | 0:01:06 | |
and her guide Brett Wilde

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

Hello, this is Breakfast
with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | 0:29:03 | 0:29:06 | |
Stayt. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:06 | |
Good morning. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:06 | |
Here's a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News. | 0:29:06 | 0:29:09 | |
The Home Secretary will chair
a second meeting of the government's | 0:29:09 | 0:29:12 | |
emergency Cobra committee today,
as investigations continue | 0:29:12 | 0:29:14 | |
into the poisoning of
a former Russian spy. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:16 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia are both in a serious | 0:29:16 | 0:29:19 | |
condition in hospital
in Salisbury after being exposed | 0:29:19 | 0:29:22 | |
to a nerve agent. | 0:29:22 | 0:29:30 | |
Specialist troops trained
in chemical warfare have been | 0:29:31 | 0:29:33 | |
deployed to the city. | 0:29:33 | 0:29:34 | |
The grave of Mr Skripal's wife,
who was buried in 2012, | 0:29:34 | 0:29:37 | |
and the memorial stone of his son,
who was cremated last year, | 0:29:37 | 0:29:41 | |
have been cordoned off. | 0:29:41 | 0:29:42 | |
President Trump has tweeted that
a deal with North Korea is "very | 0:29:42 | 0:29:45 | |
much in the making," which he said
would be very good for the world. | 0:29:45 | 0:29:49 | |
The White House says he won't meet
Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang takes | 0:29:49 | 0:29:52 | |
concrete steps to end
its nuclear programme. | 0:29:52 | 0:29:54 | |
No sitting US president has ever met
a leader from North Korea before. | 0:29:54 | 0:30:02 | |
An 85-year-old man has died
while waiting in an Accident | 0:30:04 | 0:30:07 | |
and Emergency unit because of
"dangerous overcrowding," according | 0:30:07 | 0:30:09 | |
to a hospital boss. | 0:30:09 | 0:30:10 | |
The man suffered a cardiac arrest
while waiting to see a senior | 0:30:10 | 0:30:13 | |
consultant at Northampton
General Hospital. | 0:30:13 | 0:30:14 | |
A leaked email from the trust's
medical director describes his death | 0:30:14 | 0:30:19 | |
as "due entirely to dangerous
overcrowding in the department." | 0:30:19 | 0:30:25 | |
In a statement the hospital
said the long wait for | 0:30:25 | 0:30:28 | |
treatment was "unacceptable." | 0:30:28 | 0:30:30 | |
President Trump has tweeted that
a deal with North Korea is "very | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
The National Rifle Association has
mounted a legal challenge to new gun | 0:30:35 | 0:30:38 | |
control measures in Florida drawn up
in the wake of a school shooting | 0:30:38 | 0:30:43 | |
last month which left
17 people dead. | 0:30:43 | 0:30:44 | |
It says the new law,
which will raise the legal age | 0:30:44 | 0:30:47 | |
to purchase firearms,
but also allows the training | 0:30:47 | 0:30:49 | |
and arming of school staff,
is unconstitutional. | 0:30:49 | 0:30:52 | |
Teachers in England could see their
workloads cut under proposals being | 0:30:52 | 0:30:56 | |
set out to David why the education
secretary. He will tell a head | 0:30:56 | 0:31:00 | |
teachers' conference in Birmingham
that long working hours and too much | 0:31:00 | 0:31:03 | |
red tape have become a barrier to
recruiting and retaining staff. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:10 | |
He's been in the job just one day,
but he's not up to it, | 0:31:10 | 0:31:13 | |
and has | 0:31:13 | 0:31:14 | |
already been replaced
by human resources. | 0:31:14 | 0:31:16 | |
'Flippy,' the burger-flipping robot
had been serving customers | 0:31:16 | 0:31:18 | |
at a restaurant in California,
in an attempt to replace human | 0:31:18 | 0:31:21 | |
cooks. | 0:31:21 | 0:31:24 | |
There he is. But apparently he is
not that good. | 0:31:24 | 0:31:34 | |
not that good. He has been told he
is too slow and cannot flip erg is | 0:31:34 | 0:31:37 | |
quickly enough. He is being
reprogrammed, apparently. That is | 0:31:37 | 0:31:41 | |
it. And he couldn't put the cheese
on the burgers either. It was a | 0:31:41 | 0:31:46 | |
human hand putting the cheese on. It
is a well-known fact that robots | 0:31:46 | 0:31:50 | |
can't handle cheese. Was it his or
her first day in the job? That is a | 0:31:50 | 0:31:55 | |
bit harsh. You need to give them a
six-month apprenticeship. In the | 0:31:55 | 0:31:59 | |
burger business, you can either do
it or you can't do it. It is a | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
cutthroat world, the burger
business. Will there ever be a | 0:32:03 | 0:32:06 | |
sports presenter robot? Don't we
already? That was a joke! That was | 0:32:06 | 0:32:14 | |
good. Especially at this time of
day. We are talking about the Winter | 0:32:14 | 0:32:17 | |
Paralympics. We are delighted for
Millie Knight and is Brett Wilde. I | 0:32:17 | 0:32:28 | |
was with her in the Alps a year ago,
she had been injured, she had a | 0:32:28 | 0:32:33 | |
concussion and wasn't sure if she
would make Paralympics. | 0:32:33 | 0:32:36 | |
It could be the start of a medal
rush, not just for Britain, | 0:32:36 | 0:32:40 | |
but for Millie Knight
and her guide Brett Wild, | 0:32:40 | 0:32:42 | |
because they still have | 0:32:42 | 0:32:43 | |
four events to compete in. | 0:32:43 | 0:32:45 | |
Let's get some reaction
now in Pyeongchang | 0:32:45 | 0:32:47 | |
and speak to our reporter Kate Gray. | 0:32:47 | 0:32:49 | |
Hi, Kate. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:49 | |
A great start for 19-year-old Millie
and a boost for the whole team. | 0:32:49 | 0:32:53 | |
Yes, absolutely. It was the first
medal event of these games. | 0:32:53 | 0:32:56 | |
Paralympics Team GB have come away
with a medal in the downhill skiing. | 0:32:56 | 0:33:01 | |
I by those medallists, Millie Knight
and her guide Brett Wilde. Huge | 0:33:01 | 0:33:07 | |
congratulations, what a relief to
get a medal on the first day! | 0:33:07 | 0:33:11 | |
Absolutely fantastic. This time last
year I sustained a severe | 0:33:11 | 0:33:14 | |
concussion, on the slopes, when I
crashed into the finish line. To | 0:33:14 | 0:33:19 | |
cross the line today is a
silver-medallist is amazing. Were | 0:33:19 | 0:33:22 | |
you nervous at the start? Was that
going through your mind at all? I | 0:33:22 | 0:33:26 | |
certainly was nervous, I guess that
just means care about it. All the | 0:33:26 | 0:33:31 | |
nerves went as soon as we started.
Brad, you are guiding her down the | 0:33:31 | 0:33:35 | |
mountain. Not a particularly easy
downhill. Some incidents with other | 0:33:35 | 0:33:39 | |
athletes? Yes, quite a challenging
downhill. That rank there was no | 0:33:39 | 0:33:44 | |
proper point where you could rest
and the conditions were quite | 0:33:44 | 0:33:47 | |
challenging. We had a game plan and
we stuck to it and we are so pleased | 0:33:47 | 0:33:51 | |
that we made it. Is there a slight
disappointment but it wasn't the | 0:33:51 | 0:33:56 | |
gold this time? No, definitely not.
With the season we've had, it has | 0:33:56 | 0:34:00 | |
been quite a frustrating season. We
have not been getting the results we | 0:34:00 | 0:34:03 | |
wanted. Coming back from concussion
was very tough. This is the highest | 0:34:03 | 0:34:08 | |
result that we have had all season
and so for it to come at the | 0:34:08 | 0:34:12 | |
paralytic games is wonderful. And
you have a busy programme ahead of | 0:34:12 | 0:34:15 | |
you. -- Paralympic Games. How do you
recover and get back on the slopes? | 0:34:15 | 0:34:21 | |
We have done our recovery, we will
be speaking to the team psychologist | 0:34:21 | 0:34:25 | |
this evening to get our game plan
together and reset our heads. Nearly | 0:34:25 | 0:34:28 | |
thrives off confidence. -- Millie
thrives. So this result, we can | 0:34:28 | 0:34:36 | |
hopefully go on to achieve better
later in the week. We wish you the | 0:34:36 | 0:34:40 | |
best of luck. Please continue that
incredible form that you've got. | 0:34:40 | 0:34:43 | |
That is Great Britain's first medal
of the games. Unfortunately was | 0:34:43 | 0:34:51 | |
disappointment for Fitzpatrick and
Keyhoe, who crashed out early in the | 0:34:51 | 0:34:54 | |
race. They will get to go again, as
will Millie Knight and Brett Wilde, | 0:34:54 | 0:34:58 | |
in the Super G tomorrow. Great
Britain are against Norway in the | 0:34:58 | 0:35:02 | |
wheelchair curling today. Recently
it was 1-1 between them. Yes, that's | 0:35:02 | 0:35:09 | |
on a knife edge. Please pass on our
huge congratulations to Millie | 0:35:09 | 0:35:15 | |
Knight and Brett Wilde. That is
fantastic. Millie Knight is only 19 | 0:35:15 | 0:35:18 | |
years old, she only has 5% vision,
she relies on sound and feeling, and | 0:35:18 | 0:35:26 | |
quinces of Brett Wilde's orange
jacket. More victory for England's | 0:35:26 | 0:35:33 | |
cricketers, as well. | 0:35:33 | 0:35:34 | |
Jonny Bairstow hit 104 as England
beat New Zealand by seven wickets | 0:35:34 | 0:35:37 | |
in Christchurch to win
the one-day series 3-2. | 0:35:37 | 0:35:39 | |
Chris Woakes excelled with the ball,
finishing with figures of 3-32. | 0:35:39 | 0:35:42 | |
Adil Rashid also claimed three
wickets as the Black Caps | 0:35:42 | 0:35:45 | |
were bowled out for 223. | 0:35:45 | 0:35:46 | |
England reached that total
with the loss of just 3 wickets. | 0:35:46 | 0:35:49 | |
They've now won five
successive ODI series. | 0:35:49 | 0:35:51 | |
And what a catch that was. | 0:35:51 | 0:35:53 | |
The Six Nations Championship
could be decided today. | 0:35:53 | 0:35:55 | |
If results go their way,
Ireland will take the title. | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
They're the only side that
can do the Grand Slam, | 0:35:58 | 0:36:00 | |
winning every match -
and if they beat Scotland and take | 0:36:00 | 0:36:03 | |
a bonus point, England must do
the same in France to take | 0:36:03 | 0:36:07 | |
the championship
to the final weekend. | 0:36:07 | 0:36:13 | |
We just need to make sure that we
play from the first minute and that | 0:36:13 | 0:36:18 | |
we don't let any distractions or any
little things or even a dropped ball | 0:36:18 | 0:36:23 | |
in the warmup, or the bus breaking
down, or anything left field like | 0:36:23 | 0:36:27 | |
that, but that doesn't catch us.
This game is all about experience. | 0:36:27 | 0:36:35 | |
So, they are up against a Scotland
team full of confidence after | 0:36:35 | 0:36:38 | |
beating England. Scotland are not
actually out of the running yet. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
They are third on the table. Victory
for Scotland would mean a whole new | 0:36:41 | 0:36:45 | |
selection of limitations. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:49 | |
If we want to challenge for the
title we need to win this game. They | 0:36:49 | 0:36:54 | |
are going well. They are a very good
side. So it will be a huge test for | 0:36:54 | 0:36:59 | |
us, one which we have to meet
head-on. | 0:36:59 | 0:37:03 | |
The good thing for England is that
they will not exactly what they need | 0:37:03 | 0:37:07 | |
to do by the time they kick off in
Paris. | 0:37:07 | 0:37:09 | |
They might have to score four
tries and pick up a bonus | 0:37:09 | 0:37:13 | |
point but their boss
won't be rolling the dice. | 0:37:13 | 0:37:15 | |
I'm not a gambler. I'm not a
speculator. The only thing I need to | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
worry about is catching England to
beat France. That is the only thing | 0:37:19 | 0:37:23 | |
we can control. We play really well,
we get a bonus point. We don't play | 0:37:23 | 0:37:27 | |
well, we get beaten. We play above
average, we win the game. | 0:37:27 | 0:37:30 | |
Manchester City may be flying ahead
in the Premier League title | 0:37:30 | 0:37:33 | |
but the fight for second place
is warming up nicely. | 0:37:33 | 0:37:36 | |
Two of the contenders
meet at lunchtime, | 0:37:36 | 0:37:37 | |
with Manchester United | 0:37:37 | 0:37:38 | |
facing Liverpool at Old Trafford. | 0:37:38 | 0:37:44 | |
They played out a goalless draw
when they last met back in October, | 0:37:44 | 0:37:48 | |
with United's defence tying
Liverpool's attack in knots. | 0:37:48 | 0:37:50 | |
It is not a battle of systems or
philosophies. It is to make a very | 0:37:50 | 0:37:55 | |
good football team to face each
other. -- it is two very good. When | 0:37:55 | 0:38:05 | |
they are attacking, I have all my
players are involved in defending. | 0:38:05 | 0:38:09 | |
If we are parking the bus in that
moment, we parked the bus, I have no | 0:38:09 | 0:38:13 | |
problem with that. | 0:38:13 | 0:38:14 | |
In the Scottish Premiership,
we have Rangers against Celtic | 0:38:14 | 0:38:16 | |
in the Old Firm derby tomorrow. | 0:38:16 | 0:38:18 | |
Last night, Hibernian
moved 12 points clear | 0:38:18 | 0:38:20 | |
of Hearts with a 2-0
win at Easter Road. | 0:38:20 | 0:38:22 | |
Hibs are now just a point behind
third-placed Aberdeen. | 0:38:22 | 0:38:25 | |
British number one
Johanna Konta said defeat | 0:38:25 | 0:38:27 | |
in the second round at Indian Wells
was one of the tougher losses | 0:38:27 | 0:38:30 | |
of her career. | 0:38:30 | 0:38:31 | |
She lost in straight sets
to 18-year-old Marketa Vondrousova, | 0:38:31 | 0:38:34 | |
ranked 54th in the world. | 0:38:34 | 0:38:35 | |
Konta has won only eight matches
since she reached the semi-finals | 0:38:35 | 0:38:38 | |
at Wimbledon last summer. | 0:38:38 | 0:38:44 | |
Rory McIlroy's Masters preparations
suffered a setback after another | 0:38:44 | 0:38:46 | |
poor round at the Valspar
Championship in Florida. | 0:38:46 | 0:38:48 | |
He won't be back for the weekend
after carding a 73 to finish | 0:38:48 | 0:38:52 | |
on five over par. | 0:38:52 | 0:38:53 | |
Meanwhile Tiger Woods is two shots
off the pace after a round of 68. | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
Canada's Corey Conners
leads on six under par. | 0:38:57 | 0:38:59 | |
The continuing controversy
surrounding Team Sky doesn't seem | 0:38:59 | 0:39:01 | |
to be affecting their race
performances after Geraint Thomas | 0:39:01 | 0:39:04 | |
took the lead in the Tirreno
Adriatico in Italy. | 0:39:04 | 0:39:08 | |
The Briton finished fourth
on yesterday's third stage, | 0:39:08 | 0:39:11 | |
but that was enough
to move him up to the top | 0:39:11 | 0:39:14 | |
of the general classification. | 0:39:14 | 0:39:15 | |
Team mate Chris Froome is in third
place, three seconds off the lead. | 0:39:15 | 0:39:18 | |
It's less than a month
away until the start | 0:39:18 | 0:39:21 | |
of the Commonwealth Games and teams
from across Great Britain | 0:39:21 | 0:39:23 | |
are preparing to head
to Australia's Gold Coast. | 0:39:23 | 0:39:31 | |
In the lead-up to the games I've
been meeting some of the medals | 0:39:36 | 0:39:39 | |
hopes from each team. | 0:39:39 | 0:39:41 | |
This week I've been to Wales to meet
an extraordinary table tennis player | 0:39:41 | 0:39:44 | |
who's only 11. | 0:39:44 | 0:39:49 | |
Your first year at secondary school
is a big step in life. But maybe not | 0:39:49 | 0:39:53 | |
if you are Anna, who at the age of
11 is about to rip Zantac country on | 0:39:53 | 0:39:59 | |
the other side of the world, --
represent. And that the same time, | 0:39:59 | 0:40:04 | |
rewrite the history books. MUSIC.
Now, these pictures haven't been | 0:40:04 | 0:40:13 | |
sped up. This is how good Anna is.
At school, in her lunch hour, she | 0:40:13 | 0:40:18 | |
doesn't give anybody a chance, as
she builds up to competing at the | 0:40:18 | 0:40:22 | |
senior Commonwealth Games in
Australia. It was really good, it's | 0:40:22 | 0:40:25 | |
exciting. I am a bit nervous. Senior
countries, and making new friends. | 0:40:25 | 0:40:32 | |
-- seeing a new countries. It is
mesmerising watching Anna, who just | 0:40:32 | 0:40:37 | |
remember, only recently that rhyme
is cool and has already graduated to | 0:40:37 | 0:40:41 | |
the Commonwealth games, lead to be
the youngest athlete in history to | 0:40:41 | 0:40:45 | |
do so. -- recently graduated primary
school. No shame, John! It is | 0:40:45 | 0:40:53 | |
breathtaking how fast years, it is
remarkable. We are very lucky as a | 0:40:53 | 0:40:57 | |
school to have her here. I think she
is going to do her school proud and | 0:40:57 | 0:41:02 | |
do Wales proud as well. She is
really nice and we didn't know at | 0:41:02 | 0:41:10 | |
first that she was this good when we
were in primary, it is really | 0:41:10 | 0:41:13 | |
amazing how she is just 11 years old
and she beats all the adult players. | 0:41:13 | 0:41:18 | |
Anna started playing table tennis
when she was five and because there | 0:41:18 | 0:41:21 | |
are not enough players of her
standard in Wales, she has recently | 0:41:21 | 0:41:26 | |
spent time training in China against
the best in the world. OK, I'm very | 0:41:26 | 0:41:31 | |
nervous about this. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:37 | |
nervous about this. This humiliation
is the result of most of Anna's | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
gains. This is what she is going to
try to do to all those... Spin! Look | 0:41:47 | 0:41:52 | |
at that! This is what Anna will be
doing, I'm sure, too many senior | 0:41:52 | 0:41:57 | |
players on the Gold Coast. You have
to be really fast. Spin! That is | 0:41:57 | 0:42:02 | |
crazy. Sorry. You have to be, like,
thinking quick, which ball you are | 0:42:02 | 0:42:12 | |
going to hit, what you are going to
do, planet before you play your | 0:42:12 | 0:42:16 | |
point and then you risk it for three
seconds and then you play again. | 0:42:16 | 0:42:20 | |
Just think about it. Anna now spends
over three hours a day perfect in | 0:42:20 | 0:42:25 | |
her shots because she wants to show
the world she is not going to the | 0:42:25 | 0:42:29 | |
Gold Coast just for the experience.
-- perfecting. I'm going there to | 0:42:29 | 0:42:33 | |
try to win. What would it mean to
get a medal? It would mean a lot. | 0:42:33 | 0:42:39 | |
There is no pressure, you just have
to play your best. | 0:42:39 | 0:42:46 | |
She is already the top under 18
player in Wales, and just about in | 0:42:46 | 0:42:50 | |
the world's top 20 now. It is
incredible that she will be | 0:42:50 | 0:42:53 | |
competing in the senior Commonwealth
games at the age of 11. Now, the | 0:42:53 | 0:42:58 | |
records for the Commonwealth Games
are a bit sketchy. It is believed | 0:42:58 | 0:43:01 | |
she will be the youngest ever to
compete, that when it was the | 0:43:01 | 0:43:04 | |
British Empire Games, we don't know
if maybe, sometime, there was a | 0:43:04 | 0:43:08 | |
younger player from somewhere. An
amazing achievement. She seems so | 0:43:08 | 0:43:11 | |
calm. Like a professional athlete,
really. But when she is at the table | 0:43:11 | 0:43:17 | |
her mind is obviously rising. Such
an experience, to be people who are | 0:43:17 | 0:43:22 | |
older and more experienced than her.
So the games are building up in the | 0:43:22 | 0:43:27 | |
next few weeks, we will have the
other home nations featured over the | 0:43:27 | 0:43:30 | |
coming weekends. | 0:43:30 | 0:43:32 | |
You are watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 0:43:32 | 0:43:34 | |
The main stories this morning: 180
troops have been brought | 0:43:34 | 0:43:37 | |
in to assist police
after the attempted murder | 0:43:37 | 0:43:39 | |
of a former Russian spy
and his daughter in Salisbury. | 0:43:39 | 0:43:47 | |
President Trump has reaffirmed that
a deal with North Korea is very much | 0:43:47 | 0:43:51 | |
in the making, after agreeing to
meet Kim Jong-un. | 0:43:51 | 0:43:54 | |
Also coming up in the programme:
We will be asking whether mandatory | 0:43:54 | 0:43:58 | |
passing distances and fines
for motorists who fling | 0:43:58 | 0:44:00 | |
open their car doors
could be the way to protect | 0:44:00 | 0:44:03 | |
cyclists from danger. | 0:44:03 | 0:44:07 | |
It's time for the weather,
but first, we can have a look | 0:44:07 | 0:44:10 | |
at the view across
London this morning. | 0:44:10 | 0:44:12 | |
Here is Louise. | 0:44:12 | 0:44:17 | |
It is one of those kinds of days, I
can't quite work out what the | 0:44:17 | 0:44:21 | |
weather is going to do, that is my
amateur forecast. Do you know what I | 0:44:21 | 0:44:26 | |
like? Just a month ago it would have
been dark at this point, and it is | 0:44:26 | 0:44:32 | |
getting lighter. It feels as though
we | 0:44:32 | 0:44:34 | |
getting lighter. It feels as though
we are getting into spring. What do | 0:44:34 | 0:44:37 | |
you think, Louise? We are definitely
heading into spring. It looks as | 0:44:37 | 0:44:41 | |
though we are going to see milder
air over the next few days. I have a | 0:44:41 | 0:44:47 | |
picture coming up which will top
that one in London, stay watching. | 0:44:47 | 0:44:50 | |
But take a look at the story as we
go through the day to day. The mild | 0:44:50 | 0:44:55 | |
air pushes up from the south and
will move into Scotland. I know it | 0:44:55 | 0:44:58 | |
has been a cold night, we have seen
loads of -8 in the Highlands, but | 0:44:58 | 0:45:03 | |
the mild air heading in your
direction. Most of us, a mild day | 0:45:03 | 0:45:07 | |
around, some of the rain heavy at
times. And this has been the story | 0:45:07 | 0:45:13 | |
through the rain overnight, in
actual fact pushing up across the | 0:45:13 | 0:45:15 | |
south-west in the northern England
and Northern Ireland. A little bit | 0:45:15 | 0:45:18 | |
of sleet and snow as it comes into
that cold air. As the mild at | 0:45:18 | 0:45:23 | |
Thaksin behind we are not too
concerned about the snow in Scotland | 0:45:23 | 0:45:26 | |
today. That rain will turn quite
heavy as it pushes its way into | 0:45:26 | 0:45:30 | |
Central Scotland by the middle of
the afternoon. Further south we will | 0:45:30 | 0:45:33 | |
see another band of rain moving
through but this one could be some | 0:45:33 | 0:45:37 | |
brightness from time to time. Either
middle of the afternoon we will see | 0:45:37 | 0:45:40 | |
some rain, and some of it quite
heavy. Temperatures starting to | 0:45:40 | 0:45:43 | |
climb, four to eight degrees, the
real mild air will arrive later on. | 0:45:43 | 0:45:47 | |
Through Northern Ireland, double
digits. Rain across northern | 0:45:47 | 0:45:51 | |
England, Wales, down into the
Midlands. If it rakes up and is | 0:45:51 | 0:45:55 | |
rather showery in nature, we will
see sunshine coming through. We | 0:45:55 | 0:45:58 | |
could see highs of 15 degrees. If we
get higher than that, the warmest | 0:45:58 | 0:46:02 | |
day of the year so far. The rain
will continue to push its waste | 0:46:02 | 0:46:07 | |
steadily northwards, southerly winds
driving in that warmer air, but | 0:46:07 | 0:46:11 | |
overnight they will do back down to
single figures and we could see a | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
problem with some fog firstly the
morning. That is certainly worth | 0:46:15 | 0:46:18 | |
bearing in mind. It could be a murky
old start to our Sunday, and because | 0:46:18 | 0:46:22 | |
of that fog, some of its slow to
clear, the temperatures will take | 0:46:22 | 0:46:26 | |
their time to pick tomorrow. We
could see a few showers starting to | 0:46:26 | 0:46:29 | |
push in from the south-west. Some of
the showers heavy and possibly | 0:46:29 | 0:46:33 | |
thundery at times. A better day for
northern England, Northern Ireland | 0:46:33 | 0:46:37 | |
and Scotland. Some sunny spells
coming through perhaps, and look at | 0:46:37 | 0:46:41 | |
this. Nine to 12 degrees. The last
time we saw double digits in | 0:46:41 | 0:46:44 | |
Scotland is in on 20 February. This
is the far north of Scotland, | 0:46:44 | 0:46:51 | |
because of those clear skies, and in
fact there is the potential tonight | 0:46:51 | 0:46:54 | |
to see the aurora up into the north.
The bright yellow denotes the | 0:46:54 | 0:46:59 | |
greater chance of seeing it, but you
will see how it nudges into the far | 0:46:59 | 0:47:03 | |
north of Scotland, so get out there
and take a look before you go to | 0:47:03 | 0:47:08 | |
bed. You could see an amazing sight.
I would be very jealous. Thank you | 0:47:08 | 0:47:12 | |
very much, talk to you later on. | 0:47:12 | 0:47:14 | |
We will be back with
the headlines at 7:00am. | 0:47:14 | 0:47:16 | |
First it's time for Click,
with Spencer Kelly. | 0:47:16 | 0:47:19 | |
As International Women's Day
was marked this week, | 0:47:40 | 0:47:43 | |
it brought with it further focus
on the many issues still to be faced | 0:47:43 | 0:47:47 | |
in bringing about true gender
equality in all walks of life. | 0:47:47 | 0:47:50 | |
The technology industry,
of course, has its own issues, | 0:47:50 | 0:47:53 | |
as we'll hear later. | 0:47:53 | 0:47:56 | |
Silicon Valley's culture
and its treatment of women raises | 0:47:56 | 0:47:59 | |
a lot of questions. | 0:47:59 | 0:48:00 | |
But tech can also be
a force for good. | 0:48:00 | 0:48:05 | |
It's been just six months
or so since the Me Too movement gave | 0:48:05 | 0:48:08 | |
a voice to so many women around
the world, who used social media | 0:48:08 | 0:48:12 | |
to expose just how widespread sexual
harassment and assault is. | 0:48:12 | 0:48:16 | |
Many women feel that reporting
sexual assault can also be really | 0:48:16 | 0:48:20 | |
traumatic, and the experiences
of some women in Silicon Valley have | 0:48:20 | 0:48:25 | |
spurred them to create something
that may make that just | 0:48:25 | 0:48:28 | |
a little bit easier. | 0:48:28 | 0:48:29 | |
Sumi Das has travelled
to Stanford University to meet | 0:48:29 | 0:48:33 | |
survivors of sexual abuse,
and the creators of Callisto. | 0:48:33 | 0:48:38 | |
Every tattoo tells a story. | 0:48:38 | 0:48:41 | |
For Stanford University
student Jacqueline Lin, | 0:48:41 | 0:48:43 | |
the story is bittersweet. | 0:48:43 | 0:48:47 | |
Lin was one of 50 sexual assault
survivors invited to share the stage | 0:48:47 | 0:48:51 | |
with Lady Gaga during
the 2016 Oscars. | 0:48:51 | 0:48:56 | |
While we were rehearsing,
I remember at one point | 0:48:56 | 0:48:58 | |
we were all crying and hugging each
other, and someone just said, | 0:48:58 | 0:49:03 | |
"We need to get a tattoo
to commemorate this | 0:49:03 | 0:49:06 | |
and to give us strength." | 0:49:06 | 0:49:08 | |
Something to look at
when you are feeling down, | 0:49:08 | 0:49:12 | |
Lin says that a few days
after she was assaulted by a friend | 0:49:12 | 0:49:17 | |
in 2015, she told the Title IX
office, which investigates sexual | 0:49:17 | 0:49:20 | |
misconduct. | 0:49:20 | 0:49:21 | |
I decided to report because I didn't
want him to do it to anyone else, | 0:49:21 | 0:49:25 | |
and later I did find out
that he had done a lot of... | 0:49:25 | 0:49:28 | |
A lot of harassment,
stalking and also assault | 0:49:28 | 0:49:30 | |
on someone else. | 0:49:30 | 0:49:36 | |
What was that experience like? | 0:49:36 | 0:49:37 | |
It was awful. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:38 | |
My GPA dropped down,
and I was fighting with the school | 0:49:38 | 0:49:42 | |
back and forth every single
hour, every single day. | 0:49:42 | 0:49:44 | |
Lin, now an activist,
wants greater transparency | 0:49:44 | 0:49:46 | |
in the adjudication process. | 0:49:46 | 0:49:49 | |
They're trying to cover up
the number of sexual assault that | 0:49:49 | 0:49:54 | |
happen on their campus, because that
makes your university look safer. | 0:49:54 | 0:49:57 | |
It's better for your
public relations. | 0:49:57 | 0:50:04 | |
Stanford told Click: | 0:50:04 | 0:50:07 | |
Stanford
changed its Title IX process in 2016 | 0:50:08 | 0:50:11 | |
and has begun reporting
case numbers. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:15 | |
In the US, one in five women
is sexually assaulted | 0:50:15 | 0:50:17 | |
while in college. | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
I was sexually
assaulted by a friend. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:22 | |
Over a year after that happened,
I decided to report my assault, | 0:50:22 | 0:50:27 | |
and I ended up finding the process
of reporting to be more traumatic | 0:50:27 | 0:50:31 | |
than the event itself. | 0:50:31 | 0:50:33 | |
Feeling not believed
by the people who I thought | 0:50:33 | 0:50:36 | |
were there to protect me
was incredibly destabilising. | 0:50:36 | 0:50:42 | |
Jessica Ladd's ordeal
spurred her to create Callisto, | 0:50:42 | 0:50:44 | |
so survivors would have a way
of reporting sexual assault. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:52 | |
They can, one, just say
what happened to them | 0:50:56 | 0:50:59 | |
with a timestamp, doesn't have to go
anywhere if they don't want to. | 0:50:59 | 0:51:02 | |
Two, report electronically
to the authorities at their school. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:05 | |
Or three, just save what happened
to them for now, but report | 0:51:05 | 0:51:08 | |
electronically if someone else
names the same assailant. | 0:51:08 | 0:51:11 | |
You can think of Callisto
as an information escrow agency. | 0:51:11 | 0:51:15 | |
It holds onto records,
and only alerts schools | 0:51:15 | 0:51:17 | |
when there's a match. | 0:51:17 | 0:51:18 | |
Students often report
to protect others. | 0:51:18 | 0:51:19 | |
This matching feature helps do that
by detecting repeat offenders. | 0:51:19 | 0:51:23 | |
People might use different names,
they may look different. | 0:51:23 | 0:51:26 | |
How do you make sure you've
got the right person? | 0:51:26 | 0:51:28 | |
We ask victims to put in not just
the name of their perpetrator, | 0:51:28 | 0:51:32 | |
but also a series of
unique identifiers. | 0:51:32 | 0:51:35 | |
Currently, Facebook
profiles are used to match. | 0:51:35 | 0:51:40 | |
Some students want more ways to ID,
and Callisto may add mobile numbers | 0:51:40 | 0:51:44 | |
and e-mail addresses in the future. | 0:51:44 | 0:51:46 | |
12 US colleges use Callisto. | 0:51:46 | 0:51:47 | |
The University of San
Francisco was the first. | 0:51:47 | 0:51:49 | |
We knew students weren't reporting. | 0:51:49 | 0:51:54 | |
If you look at our numbers from once
we first started with Callisto, | 0:51:54 | 0:51:58 | |
three years ago, to now,
there is definitely | 0:51:58 | 0:52:00 | |
an increase in reporting. | 0:52:00 | 0:52:02 | |
Callisto allows for our students
to write what happened, | 0:52:02 | 0:52:04 | |
to write about the incident. | 0:52:04 | 0:52:06 | |
And sometimes just writing
your perpetrator's name | 0:52:06 | 0:52:08 | |
gives people power. | 0:52:08 | 0:52:10 | |
Seeing the need for Callisto,
Shanta Katipamula led an effort | 0:52:10 | 0:52:13 | |
to bring it to Stanford. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:16 | |
It's just available 24/7,
and they have seen spikes in usage | 0:52:16 | 0:52:24 | |
during times like spring break,
when the Title IX office might not | 0:52:25 | 0:52:28 | |
be available, but students
wanted to file a report, | 0:52:28 | 0:52:31 | |
or during the weekends,
when no-one's staffing. | 0:52:31 | 0:52:33 | |
With Callisto, survivors
recount what happened | 0:52:33 | 0:52:34 | |
at their own pace, privately. | 0:52:34 | 0:52:36 | |
Often victims, including
in in-person interviews, | 0:52:36 | 0:52:43 | |
will want to seem credible. | 0:52:43 | 0:52:46 | |
So they want to fill
in all the details, and tell | 0:52:46 | 0:52:49 | |
a wonderful story arc. | 0:52:49 | 0:52:50 | |
But that's not how memory works,
and that's particularly not how | 0:52:50 | 0:52:53 | |
memory works in the event of trauma. | 0:52:53 | 0:52:56 | |
So being able to allow somebody
to say, I don't know this answer, | 0:52:56 | 0:53:01 | |
I'm not sure of that. | 0:53:01 | 0:53:06 | |
And only recording things
that they are sure of, | 0:53:06 | 0:53:08 | |
is really essential to make sure
that that time stamped record isn't | 0:53:08 | 0:53:12 | |
later used against them. | 0:53:12 | 0:53:13 | |
Students must create a username,
password and pass phrase that | 0:53:13 | 0:53:15 | |
can't be recovered. | 0:53:15 | 0:53:16 | |
Not quite a one-click sign up. | 0:53:16 | 0:53:18 | |
That deters some users. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:19 | |
For Callisto, it ensures privacy. | 0:53:19 | 0:53:24 | |
Because then we'd be having
to store the password, | 0:53:24 | 0:53:27 | |
which means that we could
potentially decrypt the data, | 0:53:27 | 0:53:29 | |
and we want to make sure that even
we can't view what's in the form. | 0:53:29 | 0:53:33 | |
Since students choose
whether to report assaults, | 0:53:33 | 0:53:35 | |
some records are never
seen by schools. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:37 | |
But they're still useful. | 0:53:37 | 0:53:38 | |
We provide our institutions
with an aggregate data report | 0:53:38 | 0:53:40 | |
that gives them a better sense
of what is happening in that store | 0:53:40 | 0:53:44 | |
record, what type of years
are assault occuring, | 0:53:44 | 0:53:46 | |
what type of assault is it? | 0:53:46 | 0:53:48 | |
Is it involving alcohol, is it not? | 0:53:48 | 0:53:50 | |
What class years are involved? | 0:53:50 | 0:53:51 | |
Others are also working to make
reporting less daunting. | 0:53:51 | 0:53:54 | |
The spot app creates a record
from the user's conversation | 0:53:54 | 0:53:59 | |
with a chat bot, while All Voices
will let them report electronically. | 0:53:59 | 0:54:01 | |
Lin isn't sure electronic reporting
would have changed her was handled, | 0:54:01 | 0:54:07 | |
though she see its potential. | 0:54:07 | 0:54:08 | |
What I think Callisto is great
for is to track perpetrators. | 0:54:08 | 0:54:16 | |
If they decide to apply to grad
school, if they decide to transfer | 0:54:18 | 0:54:21 | |
schools,
I think that's where | 0:54:21 | 0:54:23 | |
this can really come in,
and have a very powerful effect. | 0:54:23 | 0:54:26 | |
As we grow, we want to create one
system, one database that allows us | 0:54:26 | 0:54:30 | |
to track any perpetrator, even
as they move through space and time. | 0:54:30 | 0:54:33 | |
Which would give survivors a way
to find out if their assailant | 0:54:33 | 0:54:36 | |
is a repeat offender,
something Ladd says she wonders | 0:54:36 | 0:54:38 | |
to this day. | 0:54:38 | 0:54:39 | |
Hello, and welcome
to the Week in Tech. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:41 | |
It was the week that Sony blocked
the videogame Super Seducer | 0:54:41 | 0:54:45 | |
from being released
on the PlayStation 4. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:48 | |
It's been criticised as too sleazy
and for promoting toxic behaviour. | 0:54:48 | 0:54:52 | |
Dyson announced it won't be making
plug-in vacuum cleaners any more, | 0:54:52 | 0:54:56 | |
they'll be developing
their cordless battery range. | 0:54:56 | 0:55:00 | |
Dating app Bumble has banned members
from posing with guns | 0:55:00 | 0:55:03 | |
in their profile pictures,
though an exception is being made | 0:55:03 | 0:55:06 | |
for military and law enforcement
officers in uniform. | 0:55:06 | 0:55:09 | |
Solving in three, two, one. | 0:55:09 | 0:55:13 | |
And a robot managed to solve
a Rubik's Cube in under a second. | 0:55:13 | 0:55:16 | |
Blink and you'll miss it. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:18 | |
Here it is again in slo-mo. | 0:55:18 | 0:55:20 | |
It was the week that mobile
companies Three and Vodafone came | 0:55:20 | 0:55:24 | |
under investigation over the way
they handle data on their network. | 0:55:24 | 0:55:28 | |
Ofcom's looking at whether they're
intentionally slowing down internet | 0:55:28 | 0:55:30 | |
speeds while customers are abroad. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:35 | |
And finally, Flippy the robot has
been working at a restaurant in LA. | 0:55:35 | 0:55:40 | |
Its job - yep, you've guessed it,
is flipping burgers. | 0:55:40 | 0:55:43 | |
It uses image recognition
and heat sensing to cook. | 0:55:43 | 0:55:46 | |
The company, Caliburger,
is installing Flippy in 50 locations | 0:55:46 | 0:55:50 | |
but it's not cheap
at $60,000 a robot. | 0:55:50 | 0:55:52 | |
Hope those burgers taste good! | 0:55:52 | 0:56:00 | |
I think I've found him. | 0:56:01 | 0:56:02 | |
That's not possible. | 0:56:02 | 0:56:03 | |
If this gets out... | 0:56:03 | 0:56:06 | |
We've bought ourselves a war. | 0:56:06 | 0:56:08 | |
There's obviously a huge
responsibility to deliver something | 0:56:08 | 0:56:13 | |
for the audience of Blade Runner
from the first one. | 0:56:13 | 0:56:17 | |
The expectation visually,
making everything look cool, | 0:56:17 | 0:56:19 | |
was on our mind every day. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:22 | |
The demands of Vegas
and the expectation of making | 0:56:22 | 0:56:29 | |
something that was based
on what we know of Vegas now, | 0:56:30 | 0:56:33 | |
but what it would be in the future. | 0:56:33 | 0:56:36 | |
So we started with the US geodata,
of the Vegas Valley | 0:56:36 | 0:56:39 | |
and the city itself. | 0:56:39 | 0:56:40 | |
So we had a simple
model in the computer. | 0:56:40 | 0:56:43 | |
Dennis Gassner, the art
director of the film, | 0:56:43 | 0:56:51 | |
had built a simple model of Vegas
with significant buildings loosely | 0:56:54 | 0:56:56 | |
placed around, and so forth. | 0:56:56 | 0:56:58 | |
We took those two and sort
of smashed them together initially. | 0:56:58 | 0:57:01 | |
We looked for ways very subtly
of how to bring in the human element | 0:57:01 | 0:57:05 | |
into the shots, how to sell that
scale, analysing some of Syd's work | 0:57:05 | 0:57:08 | |
and how he used graphics
on the face of his buildings, | 0:57:08 | 0:57:11 | |
how he in a lot of his
paintings used little human | 0:57:11 | 0:57:14 | |
scale futuristic items. | 0:57:14 | 0:57:15 | |
We built all that stuff and placed
it around the city in an organised | 0:57:15 | 0:57:19 | |
way to make it look like people
were there at one time, | 0:57:19 | 0:57:22 | |
even though we see no one,
and that's what made it look real | 0:57:22 | 0:57:26 | |
or look like a place
people could have been in. | 0:57:26 | 0:57:28 | |
To build Trash Mesa was based
on the idea that everyone had moved | 0:57:28 | 0:57:32 | |
to the city, and all the structures
outside the city had been | 0:57:32 | 0:57:35 | |
pretty much abandoned. | 0:57:35 | 0:57:36 | |
There was no power, there was no
water, nothing outside. | 0:57:36 | 0:57:39 | |
So the trash that's generated
from the city was dumped | 0:57:39 | 0:57:42 | |
on the buildings outside the city. | 0:57:42 | 0:57:43 | |
Again, we're trying to base things
on as much reality as we could. | 0:57:43 | 0:57:47 | |
So we started with the landscape
of current-day California, | 0:57:47 | 0:57:49 | |
from Los Angeles to San Diego,
and we determined Iceland | 0:57:49 | 0:57:52 | |
The sequence of the ships was based
on the Bangladesh ship harvesting | 0:57:52 | 0:57:55 | |
yard where they recapture
all the metal, and so forth, | 0:57:55 | 0:57:58 | |
that happens now. | 0:57:58 | 0:57:59 | |
So a lot of the ships,
and the pieces of the ships, | 0:57:59 | 0:58:02 | |
and the idea of these
little tiny human beings working | 0:58:02 | 0:58:05 | |
on these massive structures sort
of drove that look through | 0:58:05 | 0:58:07 | |
the middle of that sequence. | 0:58:07 | 0:58:09 | |
So it's a matter of grabbing
all these components that were based | 0:58:09 | 0:58:12 | |
on today's reality, scaling them
so they have this massive | 0:58:12 | 0:58:16 | |
relationship between K in his little
spinner and this enormous landscape, | 0:58:16 | 0:58:19 | |
and these huge mounds of trash. | 0:58:19 | 0:58:21 | |
It was just a matter of pulling off
that scale and that distance, | 0:58:21 | 0:58:26 | |
which was just a massive
undertaking, just in the amount | 0:58:26 | 0:58:30 | |
of data and assets we had to build,
and things we had to manage | 0:58:30 | 0:58:34 | |
in itself to pull that off. | 0:58:34 | 0:58:35 | |
The future of the species
is finally unearthed. | 0:58:35 | 0:58:38 | |
It is a brilliant film,
absolutely superb. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:46 | |
Blade Runner 2049,
a well-deserved Oscar win. | 0:58:46 | 0:58:48 | |
And that's it for the short
version of Click this week. | 0:58:48 | 0:58:51 | |
Don't forget, the full-length
version is ready and waiting | 0:58:51 | 0:58:54 | |
for you to watch
right now on iPlayer. | 0:58:54 | 0:58:56 | |
And we are always waiting to you
on Twitter and on Facebook as well. | 0:58:56 | 0:59:00 | |
Thanks for watching,
and we'll see you soon. | 0:59:00 | 0:59:03 | |
Hello, this is breakfast, with
Charlie Stayt and Naga Munchetty. | 1:00:23 | 1:00:27 | |
The government hold a second
emergency meeting today over the | 1:00:27 | 1:00:31 | |
suspected attempted murder of a
former Russian spy and his daughter. | 1:00:31 | 1:00:34 | |
-- the government will hold. Nearly
200 British troops have been | 1:00:34 | 1:00:40 | |
deployed to assist in the
investigation. | 1:00:40 | 1:00:44 | |
Good morning. It is Saturday, March
ten. | 1:00:47 | 1:00:52 | |
A deal "very much in the making" -
President Trump strikes a positive | 1:00:52 | 1:00:56 | |
tone over a potential
meeting with Kim Jong-un, | 1:00:56 | 1:00:58 | |
but the White house says North Korea
must take "concrete steps" before | 1:00:58 | 1:01:05 | |
it can take place. | 1:01:05 | 1:01:06 | |
Tackling the recruitment crisis
in England's schools, | 1:01:06 | 1:01:08 | |
the Education Secretary promises
to cut teachers' workloads. | 1:01:08 | 1:01:10 | |
In sport, a first medal for Britain
at the Winter Paralympics, | 1:01:10 | 1:01:13 | |
And it's a silver for visually
impaired skiier Millie Knight | 1:01:13 | 1:01:16 | |
and her guide Brett Wilde
in the downhill skiing. | 1:01:16 | 1:01:23 | |
With the season we have had, it has
been quite a frustrating season. We | 1:01:23 | 1:01:28 | |
haven't been getting the results we
wanted. Coming back from concussion | 1:01:28 | 1:01:31 | |
was really tough. Louise has the
weather. Good morning. Some good | 1:01:31 | 1:01:37 | |
news for this Saturday. Mild or all
of us. There will be some rain | 1:01:37 | 1:01:41 | |
around. More details on exactly
where, coming up shortly. | 1:01:41 | 1:01:45 | |
Good morning. | 1:01:45 | 1:01:46 | |
First, our main story. | 1:01:46 | 1:01:47 | |
The Home Secretary will chair
a second meeting of the government's | 1:01:47 | 1:01:50 | |
emergency Cobra committee today,
as investigations continue | 1:01:50 | 1:01:52 | |
into the poisoning of
a former Russian spy. | 1:01:52 | 1:01:54 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia are both in a serious | 1:01:54 | 1:01:57 | |
condition in hospital
in Salisbury after being exposed | 1:01:57 | 1:01:59 | |
to a nerve agent. | 1:01:59 | 1:02:00 | |
Specialist troops trained
in chemical warfare have been | 1:02:00 | 1:02:02 | |
deployed to the city,
as Andy Moore reports. | 1:02:02 | 1:02:10 | |
Driven away by the Army last night,
a police car possibly contaminated | 1:02:10 | 1:02:14 | |
with traces of nerve agent. | 1:02:14 | 1:02:15 | |
It had been parked outside
Salisbury Hospital. | 1:02:15 | 1:02:17 | |
During the day, military personnel
in protective gear made | 1:02:17 | 1:02:19 | |
it ready for transportation. | 1:02:19 | 1:02:21 | |
This cemetery is another focus
of the investigation. | 1:02:21 | 1:02:24 | |
Sergei Skripal's wife is buried
here, and there is a memorial stone | 1:02:24 | 1:02:27 | |
for his son. | 1:02:27 | 1:02:30 | |
Alexander's birthday was last week. | 1:02:30 | 1:02:32 | |
Yulia had flown in from Russia
to visit her father. | 1:02:32 | 1:02:35 | |
Did they both come here
to pay their respects | 1:02:35 | 1:02:38 | |
before falling ill? | 1:02:38 | 1:02:44 | |
We are told Yulia's
responding better than | 1:02:44 | 1:02:46 | |
her father to medical treatment,
but they are both seriously ill. | 1:02:46 | 1:02:49 | |
Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey,
also exposed to the nerve agent, | 1:02:49 | 1:02:52 | |
is said to be making good progress. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:56 | |
From the people of
Salisbury, there is some | 1:02:56 | 1:02:58 | |
understandable anxiety,
but no sign of widespread fear. | 1:02:58 | 1:03:06 | |
We are concerned about public
safety, we have two young sons | 1:03:07 | 1:03:10 | |
who often come into the centre. | 1:03:10 | 1:03:11 | |
We want it to be safe here. | 1:03:11 | 1:03:14 | |
If there have been no further cases
that we have been told about, | 1:03:14 | 1:03:18 | |
and I presume we would have
been told about them, | 1:03:18 | 1:03:21 | |
we can only trust the
government and the local | 1:03:21 | 1:03:23 | |
authorities they are handling it. | 1:03:23 | 1:03:26 | |
I don't feel worried,
I feel very safe | 1:03:26 | 1:03:28 | |
in Salisbury. | 1:03:28 | 1:03:28 | |
I assume everybody
has it under control. | 1:03:28 | 1:03:30 | |
I hope they get to the bottom
of it so we can find out | 1:03:30 | 1:03:34 | |
exactly what has been happening. | 1:03:34 | 1:03:35 | |
On Tuesday, the Defence Secretary
was just one of several senior | 1:03:35 | 1:03:38 | |
ministers to attend
the first meeting of Cobra | 1:03:38 | 1:03:40 | |
dealing with this attack. | 1:03:40 | 1:03:42 | |
This afternoon there
will be a second | 1:03:42 | 1:03:43 | |
meeting. | 1:03:43 | 1:03:47 | |
Senior counterterrorism police
officers will give an update | 1:03:47 | 1:03:51 | |
on the progress of
their investigation. | 1:03:51 | 1:03:57 | |
But very little information
is being shared with the public. | 1:03:57 | 1:04:00 | |
President Trump has tweeted that
a deal with North Korea is "very | 1:04:00 | 1:04:03 | |
much in the making," which he said
would be "very good for the world." | 1:04:03 | 1:04:07 | |
The White House says he won't meet
Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang takes | 1:04:07 | 1:04:10 | |
concrete steps to end
its nuclear programme. | 1:04:10 | 1:04:12 | |
Our China correspondent
Robin Brant is in Seoul. | 1:04:12 | 1:04:14 | |
Good morning. | 1:04:14 | 1:04:16 | |
Tell us a little bit
about some of the reaction, | 1:04:16 | 1:04:22 | |
firstly in Seoul itself? | 1:04:22 | 1:04:30 | |
These South Koreans, their
leadership, President Moon Jae-in, | 1:04:32 | 1:04:36 | |
is hugely optimistic about the
prospect of this meeting. He has | 1:04:36 | 1:04:40 | |
already described it as a miracle
and categorise it as a milestone on | 1:04:40 | 1:04:43 | |
the road to realising peace. That is
before it has even happened, even | 1:04:43 | 1:04:47 | |
before we know where it will be or
when it will be. But it is his | 1:04:47 | 1:04:52 | |
government which brought about this
meeting, and he is the man who has | 1:04:52 | 1:04:55 | |
basically devoted his political life
to trying to secure a long-term | 1:04:55 | 1:04:58 | |
peace agreement between South Korea
and North Korea. So that explains | 1:04:58 | 1:05:02 | |
his attitude. I think there is a bit
more reticence, particularly after | 1:05:02 | 1:05:08 | |
the confusing message which came out
of the White House overnight. Press | 1:05:08 | 1:05:11 | |
secretary Sarah Sanders talking
about the concrete steps that the US | 1:05:11 | 1:05:16 | |
wants to see before the meeting
takes place, but then, frankly, | 1:05:16 | 1:05:20 | |
other more anonymous sources have
made it clear that the President has | 1:05:20 | 1:05:26 | |
accepted the invitation to meet Kim
Jong-un and it will go ahead without | 1:05:26 | 1:05:29 | |
any further preconditions. Of course
what really need we to get into over | 1:05:29 | 1:05:33 | |
the next few weeks is the logistics.
Where it will happen, when it will | 1:05:33 | 1:05:37 | |
happen. Also, what will be on the
table? What does the US want to see? | 1:05:37 | 1:05:42 | |
What is North Korea likely to offer?
Robin, thank you. | 1:05:42 | 1:05:53 | |
An 85-year-old man has died while
waiting in an accident and emergency | 1:05:53 | 1:05:58 | |
unit because of dangerous
overcrowding, according to a | 1:05:58 | 1:06:00 | |
hospital boss. He suffered a cardiac
arrest while waiting to see a | 1:06:00 | 1:06:04 | |
consultant at Northampton General
Hospital. A leaked email from the | 1:06:04 | 1:06:09 | |
trust's medical director describes
his death as entirely due to | 1:06:09 | 1:06:11 | |
dangerous overcrowding in the
department. In a statement, the | 1:06:11 | 1:06:15 | |
hospital said the long way to
treatment was unacceptable. -- | 1:06:15 | 1:06:19 | |
weight for treatment. -- wait. | 1:06:19 | 1:06:23 | |
Meanwhile, the National Rifle
Association has mounted a legal | 1:06:23 | 1:06:25 | |
challenge to new gun control
measures in Florida, | 1:06:25 | 1:06:27 | |
drawn up in the wake
of a school shooting last month | 1:06:27 | 1:06:30 | |
which left 17 dead. | 1:06:30 | 1:06:32 | |
It says the new law,
which will raise the legal age | 1:06:32 | 1:06:35 | |
to purchase firearms,
is unconstitutional. | 1:06:35 | 1:06:36 | |
Chris Buckler has more. | 1:06:36 | 1:06:37 | |
Standing side-by-side
with the families of some of those | 1:06:37 | 1:06:39 | |
killed inside a school,
Florida's Governor signed new laws, | 1:06:39 | 1:06:42 | |
legislation designed
to try to prevent such shootings | 1:06:42 | 1:06:44 | |
by restricting access to guns. | 1:06:44 | 1:06:47 | |
The common sense things as a father,
as a grandfather, as a Governor | 1:06:47 | 1:06:51 | |
is we need to have law
enforcement in our schools, | 1:06:51 | 1:06:54 | |
we need to harden our schools,
we need more mental health | 1:06:54 | 1:06:57 | |
counselling, we need to make sure
people that are going to do harm... | 1:06:57 | 1:07:00 | |
Think about it, we know... | 1:07:00 | 1:07:01 | |
These people are talking. | 1:07:01 | 1:07:03 | |
The legislation is named
after the Marjory Stoneman Douglas | 1:07:03 | 1:07:05 | |
high school in Parkland. | 1:07:05 | 1:07:07 | |
Last month 17 people,
both staff and students, | 1:07:07 | 1:07:11 | |
were shot dead here as others
fled from classrooms | 1:07:11 | 1:07:13 | |
in search of safety. | 1:07:13 | 1:07:15 | |
Former pupil Nikolas Cruz is accused
of carrying out the killings | 1:07:15 | 1:07:18 | |
with an assault rifle he had bought
when he was just 18. | 1:07:18 | 1:07:21 | |
The new law raises the age
at which somebody can buy a firearm | 1:07:21 | 1:07:25 | |
in Florida from 18 to 21,
and imposes a three-day waiting | 1:07:25 | 1:07:28 | |
period for all sales. | 1:07:28 | 1:07:29 | |
It allows some staff to be armed
subject to training and school | 1:07:29 | 1:07:32 | |
district approval, but it doesn't
ban the type of semi-automatic | 1:07:32 | 1:07:38 | |
weapons that were used
in the Parkland shooting. | 1:07:38 | 1:07:46 | |
We are done with your agenda
to undermine voters' | 1:07:46 | 1:07:48 | |
will and individual
liberty in America. | 1:07:48 | 1:07:54 | |
Alongside advertisers arguing
that their members' voices are not | 1:07:54 | 1:07:58 | |
being heard, the National Rifle
Association is now bringing legal | 1:07:58 | 1:08:01 | |
action to try to overturn
the new legislation in Florida. | 1:08:01 | 1:08:04 | |
The NRA claims that
raising the age at which | 1:08:04 | 1:08:06 | |
somebody can buy a gun breaches both
the second Amendment and the 14th | 1:08:06 | 1:08:10 | |
Amendment. | 1:08:10 | 1:08:17 | |
It's an argument that may end up
being fought out in Florida's | 1:08:17 | 1:08:21 | |
courts, but it's only one
part of a wider debate, | 1:08:21 | 1:08:23 | |
and before the end of the month
students will march in Washington | 1:08:23 | 1:08:27 | |
to demand new countrywide
restrictions on gun sales. | 1:08:27 | 1:08:35 | |
The campaigners say they no
longer want just sympathy, | 1:08:35 | 1:08:37 | |
they want change. | 1:08:37 | 1:08:45 | |
Teachers in England could see their
workloads cut under proposals set | 1:08:46 | 1:08:50 | |
out today by the education
secretary. He will tell the head | 1:08:50 | 1:08:53 | |
teachers' conference in Birmingham
this morning that he wants to end | 1:08:53 | 1:08:57 | |
what he calls pointless tasks, so
teachers can focus on what really | 1:08:57 | 1:09:00 | |
matters. It comes after research
shows that had teachers have | 1:09:00 | 1:09:03 | |
increased spending on supply
teachers. | 1:09:03 | 1:09:07 | |
This is Passmore's Academy in Essex. | 1:09:07 | 1:09:09 | |
Like so many schools,
it's struggling to recruit teachers. | 1:09:09 | 1:09:11 | |
Classrooms around the country
are now relying on agency supply | 1:09:11 | 1:09:14 | |
teachers to cover
permanent vacancies. | 1:09:14 | 1:09:21 | |
We employ supply staff
in our school, long-term supply | 1:09:21 | 1:09:24 | |
staff who get to know the students. | 1:09:24 | 1:09:26 | |
But when we have to use short-term
supply, they don't know the systems | 1:09:26 | 1:09:29 | |
or the students. | 1:09:29 | 1:09:30 | |
There is a lack of trust that
often comes, which can | 1:09:30 | 1:09:33 | |
build up when you
have a relationship. | 1:09:33 | 1:09:35 | |
It is an erosion of standards. | 1:09:35 | 1:09:38 | |
In a survey, 71% of head teachers
who responded said they had | 1:09:38 | 1:09:42 | |
had to increase the amount
they spent on agency supply teachers | 1:09:42 | 1:09:45 | |
over the past three years. | 1:09:45 | 1:09:46 | |
Nearly one fifth spent
between 6% and 10% of | 1:09:46 | 1:09:50 | |
their budget on supply teachers. | 1:09:50 | 1:09:52 | |
According to the most
recent government figures, | 1:09:52 | 1:09:56 | |
schools are spending £835 million
per year on supply agencies. | 1:09:56 | 1:09:59 | |
The issue isn't just
recruitment, but stopping | 1:09:59 | 1:10:01 | |
existing teachers leaving. | 1:10:01 | 1:10:03 | |
For me it was a
multitude of factors. | 1:10:03 | 1:10:07 | |
I found the workload
and the job itself | 1:10:07 | 1:10:15 | |
consuming. | 1:10:15 | 1:10:20 | |
I would work 65 or 70 hour weeks. | 1:10:20 | 1:10:22 | |
Planning, marking, assessments. | 1:10:22 | 1:10:23 | |
The actual teaching part probably
took up the least amount of time. | 1:10:23 | 1:10:29 | |
Today the government
will announce a strategy | 1:10:29 | 1:10:31 | |
drive to improve teachers'
workloads, which includes no changes | 1:10:31 | 1:10:34 | |
to the national curriculum
for GCSEs and A-levels, | 1:10:34 | 1:10:36 | |
and no new tests for primary schools
- measures which the government says | 1:10:36 | 1:10:39 | |
will attract new teachers and stop
experienced ones leaving. | 1:10:39 | 1:10:44 | |
If you've been watching this week,
you'll have seen that we've been | 1:10:44 | 1:10:48 | |
keeping up to date with
Zoe Ball's Sport Relief challenge. | 1:10:48 | 1:10:50 | |
Well there's some good news. | 1:10:50 | 1:10:53 | |
After setting off from Blackpool
on Monday morning, Zoe arrived | 1:10:53 | 1:10:56 | |
in Brighton yesterday evening,
completing her 350-mile cycle | 1:10:56 | 1:10:58 | |
between the two towns. | 1:10:58 | 1:11:03 | |
Yesterday was a tough day
on the bike, battling big hills | 1:11:03 | 1:11:06 | |
at the end, and riding
into driving rain. | 1:11:06 | 1:11:09 | |
But it's all been worth it -
she's raised more than £500,000 | 1:11:09 | 1:11:15 | |
for Sport Relief. | 1:11:15 | 1:11:19 | |
You can still donate online. | 1:11:19 | 1:11:25 | |
I think she will be very relieved
that it is done. A couple of sore | 1:11:25 | 1:11:30 | |
days. More on the weather, and might
will be here later with the weather. | 1:11:30 | 1:11:34 | |
It is 7-11 a. -- Mike will be here
later with the weather. It is | 1:11:34 | 1:11:42 | |
7.11am. | 1:11:42 | 1:11:44 | |
So Donald Trump has tweeted
overnight, and it looks | 1:11:44 | 1:11:46 | |
like his historic meeting
with the North Korean leader | 1:11:46 | 1:11:49 | |
Kim Jong-un will
definitely go ahead. | 1:11:49 | 1:11:50 | |
It's being described as one
of the biggest gambles | 1:11:50 | 1:11:53 | |
of his presidency -
but could it pay off? | 1:11:53 | 1:11:55 | |
Let's talk now to Ramon Pacheco,
a senior lecturer in international | 1:11:55 | 1:11:58 | |
relations at King's College London. | 1:11:58 | 1:12:00 | |
Thank you for joining us this
morning. Are you surprised at how we | 1:12:00 | 1:12:03 | |
have got to this point? I think I am
surprised at how quickly this has | 1:12:03 | 1:12:07 | |
come about. A month ago we were
talking about a potential strike on | 1:12:07 | 1:12:12 | |
North Korea and now we are talking
about the highest level ever summit | 1:12:12 | 1:12:16 | |
to in North Korea and the US. So I
am surprised by how quickly these | 1:12:16 | 1:12:21 | |
events have moved. What do we think,
if this meeting does take place, or | 1:12:21 | 1:12:28 | |
when it takes place, what will it
look like? First of all, it will be | 1:12:28 | 1:12:34 | |
historic, because no sitting US
president has ever met with a North | 1:12:34 | 1:12:37 | |
Korean leader. I think it will take
place probably in May, because that | 1:12:37 | 1:12:42 | |
is what South Korea is strongly
suggesting. This would come after | 1:12:42 | 1:12:46 | |
the into Korean summit. --
inter-Korean. So we could test the | 1:12:46 | 1:12:54 | |
waters at that summit. North Koreans
and Americans have met behind closed | 1:12:54 | 1:12:58 | |
doors, but they haven't met
officially in the past few years. So | 1:12:58 | 1:13:01 | |
I think the meeting would have
outcomes that these types of | 1:13:01 | 1:13:05 | |
diplomatic meetings normally do not
have. Is President Trump right to | 1:13:05 | 1:13:09 | |
take responsibility for this, or
take credit for this meeting? I | 1:13:09 | 1:13:14 | |
think it makes sense for him to put
sanctions on North Korea, they have | 1:13:14 | 1:13:20 | |
had an effect. What I think most
credit should go to South Korean | 1:13:20 | 1:13:23 | |
President Moon Jae-in. He ran on a
platform of inter-Korean | 1:13:23 | 1:13:27 | |
reconciliation and engagement. He
believes that North Korea should be | 1:13:27 | 1:13:31 | |
speaking to the US. We have seen
over the past 12 months he has | 1:13:31 | 1:13:35 | |
worked very hard to make this
happen, very openly over the past | 1:13:35 | 1:13:39 | |
few weeks. It also secretly, last
year. So must credit should go to | 1:13:39 | 1:13:43 | |
the president of South Korea in this
particular case. President Trump has | 1:13:43 | 1:13:48 | |
said this would be good for the
world in his latest tweet on the | 1:13:48 | 1:13:51 | |
matter. What would be the
consequences of a successful | 1:13:51 | 1:13:54 | |
meeting? I think the US is going to
ask for denuclearisation. An | 1:13:54 | 1:14:04 | |
important aspect is what North Korea
will ask for. North Korea is likely | 1:14:04 | 1:14:08 | |
to ask a normalisation of diplomatic
relations between the US and North | 1:14:08 | 1:14:11 | |
Korea itself. I think it will ask
economic support. And I think it | 1:14:11 | 1:14:16 | |
will last forever security
guarantee. This could be a peace | 1:14:16 | 1:14:19 | |
treaty, because obviously the Korean
War hasn't technically finished yet. | 1:14:19 | 1:14:23 | |
It would probably also involves
South Korea providing some kind of | 1:14:23 | 1:14:27 | |
security guarantee to the North
Korean regime. I think those are the | 1:14:27 | 1:14:30 | |
demands we are likely to see coming
from North Korea. Comparisons have | 1:14:30 | 1:14:34 | |
been drawn when it comes to this
summit with President Obama's | 1:14:34 | 1:14:39 | |
administration and its work with
Iran when it came to nuclear issues. | 1:14:39 | 1:14:43 | |
Is that a fair comparison? I think
it is fair in so far that both of | 1:14:43 | 1:14:49 | |
them, North Korea has nuclear
weapons and Iran wanted to develop | 1:14:49 | 1:14:55 | |
them. --. But there were
differences. North Korea has | 1:14:55 | 1:15:02 | |
actually mastered the technology, it
already has nuclear weapons, so it | 1:15:02 | 1:15:05 | |
is targeting position is stronger
than Iran. And secondly, this | 1:15:05 | 1:15:09 | |
process is being driven by two
bilaterals. North Korea and South | 1:15:09 | 1:15:15 | |
Korea, and North Korea and the US.
It is not a multi- culture -- | 1:15:15 | 1:15:23 | |
multilateral senior with many
countries. We will see these two | 1:15:23 | 1:15:26 | |
leaders meeting face-to-face. It
also means there are more prospects | 1:15:26 | 1:15:30 | |
of failure if something goes wrong
during this meeting. Certainly | 1:15:30 | 1:15:34 | |
something the world will be
watching. Thank you for speaking to | 1:15:34 | 1:15:37 | |
us. | 1:15:37 | 1:15:38 | |
You are watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 1:15:38 | 1:15:42 | |
The main stories this morning: 180
troops have been brought | 1:15:42 | 1:15:45 | |
in to assist police
after the attempted murder | 1:15:45 | 1:15:47 | |
of a former Russian spy
and his daughter in Salisbury. | 1:15:47 | 1:15:52 | |
President Trump has reaffirmed that
a deal with North Korea is very much | 1:15:52 | 1:15:55 | |
in the making, after agreeing
to meet Kim Jong-un. | 1:15:55 | 1:15:59 | |
Also coming up in the programme:
We will be looking back at nearly | 1:15:59 | 1:16:03 | |
seven decades of the NME,
as the iconic music magazine | 1:16:03 | 1:16:06 | |
prints its last issue. | 1:16:06 | 1:16:14 | |
I was thinking about NME this
morning, I never bought it, but it | 1:16:19 | 1:16:26 | |
always seemed to be for the cool
kids. Yes, I used to bet all the | 1:16:26 | 1:16:31 | |
time. Morning, Louise. -- by it all
the | 1:16:31 | 1:16:36 | |
time. Morning, Louise. -- by it all
the time. Good morning, everybody. | 1:16:36 | 1:16:41 | |
Milder for many of us, starting with
this arc of yellow across the | 1:16:41 | 1:16:45 | |
country denoting that the mild air
tucking in behind the wet weather. I | 1:16:45 | 1:16:49 | |
know there is some rain out there,
but it is heading further north, and | 1:16:49 | 1:16:52 | |
that is good news for Scotland,
Northern Ireland and northern | 1:16:52 | 1:16:55 | |
England where it has been pretty
cold in the last few days. And the | 1:16:55 | 1:16:59 | |
wet weather will go with it,
unfortunately. One band of rain | 1:16:59 | 1:17:03 | |
clearing the far north, another
showery behind it. If we get rakes | 1:17:03 | 1:17:07 | |
in the cloud and sunshine,
temperatures are likely to respond. | 1:17:07 | 1:17:10 | |
The rain fairly persistent across
northern England, and Scotland. A | 1:17:10 | 1:17:14 | |
window of fine weather behind
through northern England and in the | 1:17:14 | 1:17:17 | |
east Anglia, and that could allow
those temperatures to climb. Either | 1:17:17 | 1:17:21 | |
middle of the afternoon it is more
likely to be wet snow to the high | 1:17:21 | 1:17:25 | |
ground in Scotland. We are not too
concerned about that as the mild air | 1:17:25 | 1:17:30 | |
starts to kick in. Temperatures in
double digits were Northern Ireland, | 1:17:30 | 1:17:33 | |
despite the rain. A similar story in
northern England but you can see it | 1:17:33 | 1:17:37 | |
getting a little bit more showery
into the afternoon. If the cloud | 1:17:37 | 1:17:41 | |
breaks and we get the sunshine
coming through, temperatures will be | 1:17:41 | 1:17:45 | |
around 13 to 15 degrees. Not too
bad, especially in comparison to | 1:17:45 | 1:17:48 | |
this time last week. The rain will
continue to push its way steadily | 1:17:48 | 1:17:53 | |
north, behind it clearer skies.
Because it is damp and with light | 1:17:53 | 1:17:56 | |
winds, we could be mist and fog
forming, especially across central | 1:17:56 | 1:17:59 | |
and eastern areas. If that happens
the fob could be slow to clear, so | 1:17:59 | 1:18:03 | |
it could be a murky old start for
Mother's Day, for those who may have | 1:18:03 | 1:18:07 | |
forgotten. A foggy start first thing
for some. The fog will lift and we | 1:18:07 | 1:18:13 | |
will see some dry weather, a few
showers into the south-west, some of | 1:18:13 | 1:18:17 | |
them heavy and thundery better
afternoon across northern England, | 1:18:17 | 1:18:21 | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland,
perhaps the rain lingering into the | 1:18:21 | 1:18:25 | |
Northern Isles. But look at this,
double digits. Nine to 12 degrees. I | 1:18:25 | 1:18:29 | |
wanted to show you that we had a
Weather Watcher's picture sent in | 1:18:29 | 1:18:33 | |
with an amazing aurora last night,
that is because of the clear skies | 1:18:33 | 1:18:38 | |
in Scotland. And there is the
potential to seeing the aurora again | 1:18:38 | 1:18:41 | |
tonight. The bright yellow denotes a
greater chance of seeing the aurora, | 1:18:41 | 1:18:45 | |
but its bills down into the extreme
north of Scotland, so for those | 1:18:45 | 1:18:49 | |
lucky few, get out with the camera
or just go out and enjoy it. | 1:18:49 | 1:18:53 | |
Fines for drivers who stray
into cycle boxes at traffic lights, | 1:18:53 | 1:18:56 | |
or knock people off their bikes
by opening car doors without looking | 1:18:56 | 1:19:00 | |
- just two suggestions
the Government is looking at to make | 1:19:00 | 1:19:03 | |
roads safer for cyclists. | 1:19:03 | 1:19:04 | |
Jayne McCubbin has been to talking
to those who take to road on two | 1:19:04 | 1:19:08 | |
wheels, to find out
how safe they feel. | 1:19:08 | 1:19:16 | |
Do you feel safe when you are on the
bike? | 1:19:20 | 1:19:22 | |
Depends on where I am. | 1:19:52 | 1:19:53 | |
If I am riding near where I live,
in sale, then yes. | 1:19:53 | 1:19:57 | |
In the city centre? | 1:19:57 | 1:19:58 | |
No. | 1:19:58 | 1:19:58 | |
I think the problem is the cyclists
and motorists are equally to blame | 1:19:58 | 1:20:02 | |
and equally culpable, yes. | 1:20:02 | 1:20:03 | |
They are both as bad as each other,
and I cycle and I drive | 1:20:03 | 1:20:06 | |
for a living. | 1:20:06 | 1:20:07 | |
Being both a car driver
and a cyclist I am | 1:20:07 | 1:20:10 | |
respectful. | 1:20:10 | 1:20:10 | |
Some cyclists cycle a bit
inconsiderately themselves. I think | 1:20:10 | 1:20:13 | |
a lot of motorists are very
impatient with cyclists, and I think | 1:20:13 | 1:20:16 | |
even taxi drivers are very impatient
with cyclists. I think is a cyclist | 1:20:16 | 1:20:20 | |
you feel quite vulnerable. I think
rather than find them, it is an | 1:20:20 | 1:20:23 | |
education thing and getting people
to see both sides of things. | 1:20:23 | 1:20:26 | |
So there are some thoughts from
cyclists about the issues between | 1:20:26 | 1:20:29 | |
motorists and cyclists on the roads. | 1:20:29 | 1:20:31 | |
In a separate review,
the Government is acknowledging | 1:20:31 | 1:20:33 | |
cyclists that can also pose
a danger on the roads, | 1:20:33 | 1:20:36 | |
and is considering bringing
in a new offence of death | 1:20:36 | 1:20:38 | |
by dangerous cycling. | 1:20:38 | 1:20:39 | |
Let's speak now to Matt Briggs,
whose wife, Kim, was knocked over | 1:20:39 | 1:20:42 | |
and killed by a cyclist,
and Roger Geffen from Cycling UK. | 1:20:42 | 1:20:45 | |
What do you make of these latest
proposals? Of course, you have felt | 1:20:45 | 1:20:49 | |
first-hand the impact of careless
cyclist. Of course, with the tragic | 1:20:49 | 1:20:54 | |
accident that your wife endure it.
Good morning, thank you for having | 1:20:54 | 1:20:59 | |
me on. Yes, I think the package of
reforms which was announced | 1:20:59 | 1:21:03 | |
yesterday, or proposed reforms, at
the heart of it for me was the... I | 1:21:03 | 1:21:08 | |
guess the first official, legal
acknowledgement in the report that | 1:21:08 | 1:21:11 | |
there is a gap in the law, as I had
highlighted, and others before me | 1:21:11 | 1:21:15 | |
have highlighted, and a
recommendation to bring forward laws | 1:21:15 | 1:21:20 | |
of causing death by dangerous
cycling, and causing serious injury | 1:21:20 | 1:21:26 | |
by the same. Did you want to explain
a little bit more, that gap in the | 1:21:26 | 1:21:31 | |
law which Matt is talking about,
just to expand on a little bit. Matt | 1:21:31 | 1:21:36 | |
makes the perfectly reasonable point
that, in seeking a better alignment | 1:21:36 | 1:21:40 | |
between cycling offences and
motoring offences, we have no | 1:21:40 | 1:21:43 | |
disagreement on that point. The
question is how is it done? And the | 1:21:43 | 1:21:47 | |
reason that isn't straightforward is
because the legal framework on | 1:21:47 | 1:21:50 | |
motoring offences is itself
horrendously flawed, leading to huge | 1:21:50 | 1:21:55 | |
inconsistencies, with hundreds, if
not thousands, of road crash | 1:21:55 | 1:21:59 | |
victims, many of them suffer
additional massive distress when the | 1:21:59 | 1:22:05 | |
legal system fails to address their
cases with anything like the gravity | 1:22:05 | 1:22:11 | |
that the offences require. What is
the gap? Well, the gap is that there | 1:22:11 | 1:22:17 | |
is no... There is an offence of
causing death by dangerous driving, | 1:22:17 | 1:22:21 | |
and now a fairly recent offence of
causing death by careless cycling, | 1:22:21 | 1:22:28 | |
sorry, dangerous and careless
driving, but not for cycling. And | 1:22:28 | 1:22:31 | |
the question is do we simply take
those definitions of careless and | 1:22:31 | 1:22:35 | |
dangerous cycling and copy and paste
them... Taken from driving, copy and | 1:22:35 | 1:22:40 | |
paste them in the cycling, because
at the moment, if that is all we | 1:22:40 | 1:22:44 | |
did, then all would we would be
doing is replicating serious flaws | 1:22:44 | 1:22:48 | |
which cause distress to the victims
of motoring offences. Cycling UK and | 1:22:48 | 1:22:54 | |
road users have been calling for a
much wider overhaul. If we brought | 1:22:54 | 1:22:59 | |
them into line with that, that would
work so much better. And I really do | 1:22:59 | 1:23:03 | |
hope that the government's review
will provide an opportunity for that | 1:23:03 | 1:23:06 | |
much wider review, because we have
long been overdue for it. Mass, do | 1:23:06 | 1:23:11 | |
you want to pick up on some of these
issues for us. This is so close to | 1:23:11 | 1:23:15 | |
your heart, and obviously Roger
knows this story inside out. On the | 1:23:15 | 1:23:19 | |
outside looking in, it seems like
there is a commonsense element -- | 1:23:19 | 1:23:22 | |
Matt. If you are doing some in
dangerous on the road, whether you | 1:23:22 | 1:23:26 | |
are in a bicycle or a car, there
should be a framework from which | 1:23:26 | 1:23:30 | |
everyone works. Yes, Roger speaks to
the wider issue, and he is clearly | 1:23:30 | 1:23:34 | |
an expert on that, and I am always
very careful to speak about what I | 1:23:34 | 1:23:38 | |
know, and my experience, and my
experience was that, a week after my | 1:23:38 | 1:23:43 | |
wife was killed, I took a phone call
from the police to say, we feel | 1:23:43 | 1:23:47 | |
there has been criminal wrongdoing,
but we effectively have nothing to | 1:23:47 | 1:23:50 | |
charge the defendant with. And that
is quite a shock in 2016, as it was | 1:23:50 | 1:23:57 | |
then, in a sort of well ordered
society. And the only thing... It | 1:23:57 | 1:24:01 | |
took 18 months, and the only thing
they could charge with was the 1861 | 1:24:01 | 1:24:05 | |
act, the manslaughter issue was
quite unique. I think Roger does | 1:24:05 | 1:24:11 | |
talk to a wider issue on our roads.
We all share imperfect streets, | 1:24:11 | 1:24:15 | |
imperfect roads, and I would always
urge people to do it with a bit more | 1:24:15 | 1:24:20 | |
civility. We have to look out for
each other. I would just like to see | 1:24:20 | 1:24:24 | |
a parity here, so that death by
dangerous cycling, causing serious | 1:24:24 | 1:24:28 | |
injury, which is probably the one
which will be used far more often, | 1:24:28 | 1:24:33 | |
is on the statute books. How long
will this take, Roger? One of the | 1:24:33 | 1:24:37 | |
difficulties we have here is that
Brexit is taking so much of the | 1:24:37 | 1:24:42 | |
government's attention that finding
time for this is difficult. It was | 1:24:42 | 1:24:48 | |
promised tours by government as long
ago as 2014, and then they went cold | 1:24:48 | 1:24:53 | |
on the issue. We really do need to
get that wider review of road | 1:24:53 | 1:24:57 | |
traffic laws, and there are so many
other changes to road traffic laws | 1:24:57 | 1:25:00 | |
that need to be made while we're at
it. But I hope that this cycling | 1:25:00 | 1:25:04 | |
safety review will look at other
things, as well as the laws. It also | 1:25:04 | 1:25:08 | |
needs to look at the safer design of
street and junctions, it needs to | 1:25:08 | 1:25:13 | |
look at safer design of lorries, why
do the lorry drivers have so much | 1:25:13 | 1:25:17 | |
harder time seeing cyclists and
pedestrians than buses? We need | 1:25:17 | 1:25:23 | |
better driver education, as well as
backing that up a good enforcement | 1:25:23 | 1:25:28 | |
of road traffic law for all road
users. We are not in the business of | 1:25:28 | 1:25:33 | |
defending irresponsible cycling. We
want to see more as well at safer | 1:25:33 | 1:25:37 | |
walking as well cycling as a result
of this review. And Matt, clearly | 1:25:37 | 1:25:41 | |
given what happened to your wife,
the legislation is hugely important. | 1:25:41 | 1:25:46 | |
I just wonder, on a personal note,
given what happened to your family, | 1:25:46 | 1:25:50 | |
what do you see when you look... You
use the roads, what do you see day | 1:25:50 | 1:25:55 | |
by day that kind of colour is the
way you think about the relationship | 1:25:55 | 1:26:00 | |
between cyclists and motorists?
Well, it does seem to be... I have | 1:26:00 | 1:26:06 | |
lived in London since I was 18, and
there does seem to be a degree of | 1:26:06 | 1:26:13 | |
ill temper between all road users,
which I think is something that we | 1:26:13 | 1:26:18 | |
do need to address. And I get the
point. Cyclists get berated for when | 1:26:18 | 1:26:23 | |
they jump red lights and behave in
an antisocial manner, but that is | 1:26:23 | 1:26:28 | |
because they are very visible. Motor
drivers do the same, they look at | 1:26:28 | 1:26:32 | |
their phones and they text while
they are driving, but it is less | 1:26:32 | 1:26:35 | |
visible. So I think there is a point
to be made for all road users to | 1:26:35 | 1:26:40 | |
treat each other with a degree of
civility. But I would say, and I | 1:26:40 | 1:26:44 | |
would come back to the fact that
there should be a legal parity, and | 1:26:44 | 1:26:47 | |
a clear legal framework for when
things go wrong. It is more and more | 1:26:47 | 1:26:51 | |
people are cycling, that is
fantastic honour but with that comes | 1:26:51 | 1:26:54 | |
a concomitant increase in risk. What
I am saying is that when things do | 1:26:54 | 1:27:00 | |
go wrong, there should be before
anything else and effective legal | 1:27:00 | 1:27:03 | |
remedy. Thank you for your time this
morning, I really appreciate that. | 1:27:03 | 1:27:10 | |
And Roger, thank you for joining us
as well. Thank you for your | 1:27:10 | 1:27:15 | |
comments. Jan has said she doesn't
feel safe on the pavement or parts | 1:27:15 | 1:27:19 | |
due to cyclists, and when they don't
use bells to warn they are | 1:27:19 | 1:27:22 | |
overtaking you. Some also say as
motorists, we have to take a | 1:27:22 | 1:27:28 | |
mandatory roadtest, and I think
cyclists should have to take some | 1:27:28 | 1:27:31 | |
form of test. And we will follow
with interest what happens with the | 1:27:31 | 1:27:35 | |
review as to what the government may
or may not do in terms of | 1:27:35 | 1:27:40 | |
legislation. | 1:27:40 | 1:27:41 | |
More often than not after a baby
is born, the umbilical cord | 1:27:41 | 1:27:44 | |
is thrown away, and along with it
a vital source of blood stem cells. | 1:27:44 | 1:27:48 | |
This blood can be a lifeline
for people with genetic disorders | 1:27:48 | 1:27:51 | |
and cancers like leukaemia,
but there has been a steady decline | 1:27:51 | 1:27:54 | |
in donations since 2014. | 1:27:54 | 1:27:55 | |
Steph has been finding out more. | 1:27:55 | 1:27:57 | |
Now, when it comes to having a baby,
donating the placenta is probably | 1:27:57 | 1:28:01 | |
not something you have given much
thought. But it is exactly what | 1:28:01 | 1:28:05 | |
actress and my mate Kelly surely
did. So why did you decide to donate | 1:28:05 | 1:28:11 | |
cord blood? I found out that lots of
places end up just chucking the cord | 1:28:11 | 1:28:17 | |
a way, and these people actually
keep the cord blood and they can | 1:28:17 | 1:28:23 | |
harvest it for stem cells for use
with blood cancer. So I had a boy | 1:28:23 | 1:28:28 | |
and a girl, and the two centres, and
we think that Louis was a match for | 1:28:28 | 1:28:33 | |
somebody, which was really, really
amazing. Here's a little legend, | 1:28:33 | 1:28:37 | |
Louis, and Perl is. Only ten
hospitals in the UK, like this one, | 1:28:37 | 1:28:43 | |
have a dedicated team of cord
collectors like Zoe, who is on hand | 1:28:43 | 1:28:47 | |
to help mothers donate. So Zoe, this
is where you collect the cord, isn't | 1:28:47 | 1:28:52 | |
it? It is a bit much to show on
telly, but explain what happens. So | 1:28:52 | 1:28:57 | |
once we have got the placenta, we
bring the placenta repair and carry | 1:28:57 | 1:29:00 | |
out a collection. We insert the
needle into the cord and drain as | 1:29:00 | 1:29:04 | |
much blood from the placenta. The
placenta is rich in stem cells, so | 1:29:04 | 1:29:08 | |
the blood that we do collect from it
can be used to transplant. So if you | 1:29:08 | 1:29:13 | |
don't collect these placentas, they
just get chucked away? It does, it | 1:29:13 | 1:29:16 | |
only gets thrown in the bin. So we
have record collection from what we | 1:29:16 | 1:29:20 | |
have just collected, that is the
blood we had just collected, and | 1:29:20 | 1:29:23 | |
that is the blood we take from the
placenta. Said it had literally just | 1:29:23 | 1:29:28 | |
come from the woman's body. It has.
So what happens now? It gets tested | 1:29:28 | 1:29:34 | |
to see if there is stem cells in,
and once that is done we determine | 1:29:34 | 1:29:38 | |
if it is good enough or translate.
Of course, it is a decision every | 1:29:38 | 1:29:42 | |
family has to make for themselves.
We popped in to see this woman just | 1:29:42 | 1:29:46 | |
before her Caesarean to ask why she
is going to donate. So would my | 1:29:46 | 1:29:50 | |
first, I didn't even know about it,
I didn't see any posters and wasn't | 1:29:50 | 1:29:54 | |
told about it. And then with the
second, the midwife mentioned it at | 1:29:54 | 1:29:58 | |
one of my community midwife chats,
and then a lot of my friends who | 1:29:58 | 1:30:01 | |
were pregnant in Sunderland were
like, oh, that is amazing, how have | 1:30:01 | 1:30:05 | |
you done that? And we want to do it,
but then they couldn't because they | 1:30:05 | 1:30:09 | |
don't do it in Newcastle or
Sunderland. It is a no-brainer for | 1:30:09 | 1:30:14 | |
me. It is something I keep saying as
well, it has become a catchphrase. | 1:30:14 | 1:30:18 | |
It is a no-brainer. Yes, totally.
But having dedicated collectors on | 1:30:18 | 1:30:24 | |
call 24/7 is costly. NHS Blood and
Transplant save East deliberately | 1:30:24 | 1:30:27 | |
target hospitals and communities
that often struggled to find a stem | 1:30:27 | 1:30:32 | |
cell match. Look, just a couple of
hours after we left, Sunny arrived, | 1:30:32 | 1:30:38 | |
and before he had opened his little
eyes, he had already done something | 1:30:38 | 1:30:42 | |
good in the world. Now, that is
worth reading about. | 1:30:42 | 1:30:46 | |
Stay with us. | 1:30:46 | 1:30:47 | |
Headlines coming up. | 1:30:47 | 1:30:55 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | 1:31:20 | 1:31:23 | |
Stayt. | 1:31:23 | 1:31:23 | |
Good morning. | 1:31:23 | 1:31:24 | |
Here's a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News. | 1:31:24 | 1:31:26 | |
The Home Secretary will chair
a second meeting of the government's | 1:31:26 | 1:31:29 | |
emergency Cobra committee today,
as investigations continue | 1:31:29 | 1:31:31 | |
into the poisoning of
a former Russian spy. | 1:31:31 | 1:31:34 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia are both in a serious | 1:31:34 | 1:31:37 | |
condition in hospital
in Salisbury after being exposed | 1:31:37 | 1:31:39 | |
to a nerve agent. | 1:31:39 | 1:31:43 | |
Specialist troops trained
in chemical warfare have been | 1:31:43 | 1:31:45 | |
deployed to the city. | 1:31:45 | 1:31:50 | |
The grave of Mr Skripal's wife,
who was buried in 2012, | 1:31:50 | 1:31:53 | |
and the memorial stone of his son,
who was cremated last year, | 1:31:53 | 1:31:57 | |
have been cordoned off. | 1:31:57 | 1:32:05 | |
Did that a deal is North Korea is
very much in the making, which he | 1:32:05 | 1:32:09 | |
says would be very good for the
world. -- President Trump has | 1:32:09 | 1:32:13 | |
tweeted that they'd deal with North
Korea. No sitting North Korean | 1:32:13 | 1:32:17 | |
leader has met with a US resident
before. -- president. | 1:32:17 | 1:32:23 | |
An 85-year-old man has died
while waiting in an Accident | 1:32:23 | 1:32:25 | |
and Emergency unit because of
"dangerous overcrowding," according | 1:32:25 | 1:32:28 | |
to a hospital boss. | 1:32:28 | 1:32:29 | |
The man suffered a cardiac arrest
while waiting to see a senior | 1:32:29 | 1:32:32 | |
consultant at Northampton
General Hospital. | 1:32:32 | 1:32:33 | |
A leaked email from the trust's
medical director describes his death | 1:32:33 | 1:32:36 | |
as "due entirely to dangerous
overcrowding in the department." | 1:32:36 | 1:32:39 | |
In a statement the hospital
said the long wait for | 1:32:39 | 1:32:41 | |
treatment was "unacceptable." | 1:32:41 | 1:32:43 | |
The National Rifle Association has
mounted a legal challenge to new gun | 1:32:43 | 1:32:46 | |
control measures in Florida drawn up
in the wake of a school shooting | 1:32:46 | 1:32:50 | |
last month which left
17 people dead. | 1:32:50 | 1:32:52 | |
It says the new law,
which will raise the legal age | 1:32:52 | 1:32:55 | |
to purchase firearms,
but also allows the training | 1:32:55 | 1:32:57 | |
and arming of school staff,
is unconstitutional. | 1:32:57 | 1:33:05 | |
Teachers in England could see
their workloads cut under proposals | 1:33:05 | 1:33:07 | |
being set out to David why
the education secretary. | 1:33:07 | 1:33:10 | |
He will tell a head teachers'
conference in Birmingham that long | 1:33:10 | 1:33:13 | |
working hours and too much red tape
have become a barrier to recruiting | 1:33:13 | 1:33:16 | |
and retaining staff. | 1:33:16 | 1:33:18 | |
For five successive years
recruitment targets for teaching | 1:33:18 | 1:33:21 | |
have been missed, and schools have
complained about the cost | 1:33:21 | 1:33:24 | |
and disruption involved
in hiring temps. | 1:33:24 | 1:33:26 | |
Later today, in his first speech
to heads and teachers since becoming | 1:33:26 | 1:33:29 | |
Education Secretary,
Damian Hinds says he will cut | 1:33:29 | 1:33:31 | |
teachers' workload in an attempt
to resolve a recruitment crisis | 1:33:31 | 1:33:34 | |
in England's schools. | 1:33:34 | 1:33:35 | |
He's been in the job just one day,
but he's not up to it, | 1:33:35 | 1:33:39 | |
and has already been
replaced by human resources. | 1:33:39 | 1:33:41 | |
'Flippy,' the burger-flipping robot
had been serving customers | 1:33:41 | 1:33:43 | |
at a restaurant in California,
in an attempt to replace human | 1:33:43 | 1:33:46 | |
cooks. | 1:33:46 | 1:33:46 | |
But he's out already. | 1:33:46 | 1:33:47 | |
Because he was just too
slow and couldn't turn | 1:33:47 | 1:33:50 | |
the burgers quickly enough. | 1:33:50 | 1:33:52 | |
He is not living up to his name. It
is a brutal world, the world of erg | 1:33:52 | 1:33:57 | |
are flipping. -- burger. My guess is
that he could handle the flipping of | 1:33:57 | 1:34:06 | |
the burgers, but is he couldn't
handle the cheese. I think that's | 1:34:06 | 1:34:10 | |
right. You will never finds a robot
replacing sports presenters. I | 1:34:10 | 1:34:16 | |
didn't notice any difference in the
way you said that. Do you know why a | 1:34:16 | 1:34:21 | |
robot couldn't do it? Sport is all
about excitement and emotion. Flippy | 1:34:21 | 1:34:25 | |
would never get excited about
Pyeongchang. Nearly night, it is | 1:34:25 | 1:34:30 | |
about her journey and all the
emotion. We talk to her On Breakfast | 1:34:30 | 1:34:34 | |
last year, in the Alps, she had a
concussion and she wasn't even sure | 1:34:34 | 1:34:38 | |
if she would be able to make the
Paralympics. But now she has won the | 1:34:38 | 1:34:42 | |
UK's first medal at a Winter
Olympics, -- at the Winter Olympics. | 1:34:42 | 1:34:48 | |
It could be the start of a medal
rush, not just for Britain, | 1:34:48 | 1:34:52 | |
but for Millie Knight
and her guide Brett Wilde = | 1:34:52 | 1:34:55 | |
because they still have four
events to compete in. | 1:34:55 | 1:34:57 | |
Let's get some reaction now
in Pyeongchang and speak | 1:34:57 | 1:35:00 | |
to our reporter Kate Gray. | 1:35:00 | 1:35:01 | |
Hi, Kate. | 1:35:01 | 1:35:01 | |
A great start for 19-year-old Millie
and a boost for the whole team. | 1:35:01 | 1:35:05 | |
It is about that journey, isn't it,
where she has come from to get the | 1:35:05 | 1:35:09 | |
medal? Absolutely. It has been a
really tough journey. Last time they | 1:35:09 | 1:35:12 | |
were here in Pyeongchang she got
concussion, after crushing across | 1:35:12 | 1:35:15 | |
the line. So they have now come back
here and faced their demons and they | 1:35:15 | 1:35:19 | |
won a silver medal in the downhill,
the speed event, the toughest event. | 1:35:19 | 1:35:23 | |
They have got that silver medal, the
first medal for Great Britain in the | 1:35:23 | 1:35:27 | |
first medal event of this games.
They were over the moon. This is | 1:35:27 | 1:35:30 | |
what they said earlier. It is
absolutely fantastic. This time last | 1:35:30 | 1:35:33 | |
year I sustained quite a severe
concussion on the slope, when I | 1:35:33 | 1:35:36 | |
crashed into the finish line. And to
now crossed the line today is a | 1:35:36 | 1:35:40 | |
Paralympic silver-medallist, it is
amazing. Were you nervous at the | 1:35:40 | 1:35:44 | |
start? Was that going through your
mind at all? I certainly was | 1:35:44 | 1:35:48 | |
nervous, but I guess that means I
care about it. The moment we | 1:35:48 | 1:35:51 | |
started, all the nerves went. And
Brett, you were guiding her down the | 1:35:51 | 1:35:58 | |
mountain, but there were some
incidents with other athletes? Yes, | 1:35:58 | 1:36:01 | |
it was quite challenging to rain.
There was no proper point where you | 1:36:01 | 1:36:05 | |
could rest. The conditions were
hard. We had a game plan and we | 1:36:05 | 1:36:09 | |
stuck to it. We are glad that we are
back in the next. Is there a slight | 1:36:09 | 1:36:14 | |
disappointment that it was not a
gold medal? Definitely not. With the | 1:36:14 | 1:36:17 | |
season we had, it has been quite a
frustrating season. We haven't been | 1:36:17 | 1:36:21 | |
getting the results we wanted. And
for me, coming back from concussion | 1:36:21 | 1:36:25 | |
was difficult. This is the highest
result we have had all season. And | 1:36:25 | 1:36:30 | |
so for it to come at the Paralympic
Games is wonderful. Clearly very | 1:36:30 | 1:36:35 | |
happy. They will be competing in the
Super G tomorrow, another tough | 1:36:35 | 1:36:43 | |
event. They will be up against
teammates Kelly Gallagher and Millie | 1:36:43 | 1:36:49 | |
-- Mena Fitzpatrick. Great Britain
is against the world champions | 1:36:49 | 1:36:54 | |
Norway in the wheelchair curling
today. It is a highly contested | 1:36:54 | 1:36:57 | |
event. They are currently leading,
they took the lead early on and they | 1:36:57 | 1:37:03 | |
are now going into the final end.
Team GB currently leads 4-2. Very | 1:37:03 | 1:37:06 | |
tight. We will keep you updated. As
you can tell, Team GB is off to a | 1:37:06 | 1:37:13 | |
great start on the first day of the
Paralympic Games. Yes, one down, and | 1:37:13 | 1:37:17 | |
what is it, six to ten medals that
they want? Plenty of time for those. | 1:37:17 | 1:37:23 | |
And well done for coping with that
lost three wind, up high on the | 1:37:23 | 1:37:27 | |
mountain in Pyeongchang. -- blustery
wind. | 1:37:27 | 1:37:33 | |
Now in the last few hours,
victory for England's cricketers. | 1:37:33 | 1:37:36 | |
Jonny Bairstow hit a century,
as England beat New Zealand by 7 | 1:37:36 | 1:37:39 | |
wickets in Christchurch to win
the one-day series, 3-2. | 1:37:39 | 1:37:42 | |
Chris Woakes bowled
brilliantly, taking 3-32. | 1:37:42 | 1:37:43 | |
Adil Rashid also claimed three
wickets as the Black Caps, | 1:37:43 | 1:37:46 | |
were bowled out for 223 and England
reached their target with the loss | 1:37:46 | 1:37:49 | |
of just 3 wickets. | 1:37:49 | 1:37:53 | |
The Six Nations Championship
could be decided today. | 1:37:53 | 1:37:57 | |
If results go their way,
Ireland will take the title. | 1:37:57 | 1:38:00 | |
They're the only side that
can do the Grand Slam, | 1:38:00 | 1:38:03 | |
winning every match -
and if they beat Scotland and take | 1:38:03 | 1:38:06 | |
a bonus point, England must do
the same in France to take | 1:38:06 | 1:38:09 | |
the championship
to the final weekend. | 1:38:09 | 1:38:11 | |
We just need to make sure
that we play from the first minute | 1:38:11 | 1:38:15 | |
and that we don't let any
distractions or any little things | 1:38:15 | 1:38:18 | |
or even a dropped ball
in the warmup, or the bus breaking | 1:38:18 | 1:38:21 | |
down, or anything left
field like that, but that | 1:38:21 | 1:38:23 | |
doesn't catch us. | 1:38:23 | 1:38:24 | |
This game is all about experience. | 1:38:24 | 1:38:32 | |
So, they are up against a Scotland
team full of confidence | 1:38:32 | 1:38:35 | |
after beating England. | 1:38:35 | 1:38:36 | |
Scotland are not actually
out of the running yet. | 1:38:36 | 1:38:38 | |
They are third on the table. | 1:38:38 | 1:38:42 | |
Victory for Scotland would mean
a whole new selection | 1:38:42 | 1:38:45 | |
of permutations. | 1:38:45 | 1:38:48 | |
If we want to challenge
for the title we need | 1:38:48 | 1:38:51 | |
to win this game. | 1:38:51 | 1:38:52 | |
They are going well. | 1:38:52 | 1:38:57 | |
They are a very good side. | 1:38:57 | 1:39:00 | |
So it will be a huge test for us,
one which we have to meet head-on. | 1:39:00 | 1:39:08 | |
So, today, as we speak, three teams
could win the championship? | 1:39:09 | 1:39:13 | |
Absolutely. If Scotland win against
Ireland, they are still in the | 1:39:13 | 1:39:17 | |
running. England would at least know
what they need to do, because they | 1:39:17 | 1:39:20 | |
will know the island score by the
time they kick off in Paris. The | 1:39:20 | 1:39:24 | |
problem for England is that they
might have to score four tries and | 1:39:24 | 1:39:28 | |
pick up a bonus point. Their boss
says he will not be rolling the | 1:39:28 | 1:39:32 | |
dice. | 1:39:32 | 1:39:32 | |
I'm not a gambler. | 1:39:32 | 1:39:33 | |
I'm not a speculator. | 1:39:33 | 1:39:34 | |
The only thing I need to worry
about is catching England to beat | 1:39:34 | 1:39:37 | |
France. | 1:39:37 | 1:39:39 | |
That's the only thing
we can control. | 1:39:39 | 1:39:40 | |
We play really well,
we get a bonus point. | 1:39:40 | 1:39:42 | |
We don't play well, we get beaten. | 1:39:42 | 1:39:44 | |
We play above average,
we win the game. | 1:39:44 | 1:39:47 | |
Manchester City may be flying ahead
in the Premier League title | 1:39:47 | 1:39:50 | |
but the fight for second place
is warming up nicely. | 1:39:50 | 1:39:52 | |
Two of the contenders meet
at lunchtime, with Manchester United | 1:39:52 | 1:39:55 | |
facing Liverpool at Old Trafford. | 1:39:55 | 1:39:56 | |
They played out a goalless draw
when they last met back in October, | 1:39:56 | 1:40:00 | |
with United's defence tying
Liverpool's attack in knots. | 1:40:00 | 1:40:02 | |
It is not a battle of
systems or philosophies. | 1:40:02 | 1:40:04 | |
It is two very good football
teams facing each other. | 1:40:04 | 1:40:08 | |
When they are attacking,
I hope all my players | 1:40:08 | 1:40:10 | |
are involved in defending. | 1:40:10 | 1:40:12 | |
If we are parking the bus in that
moment, we park the bus, | 1:40:12 | 1:40:15 | |
I have no problem with that. | 1:40:15 | 1:40:23 | |
In the Scottish Premiership,
we have Rangers against Celtic | 1:40:25 | 1:40:28 | |
in the Old Firm derby tomorrow. | 1:40:28 | 1:40:29 | |
Last night, Hibernian moved 12
points clear of Hearts with a 2-0 | 1:40:29 | 1:40:33 | |
win at Easter Road. | 1:40:33 | 1:40:34 | |
Hibs are now just a point behind
third-placed Aberdeen. | 1:40:34 | 1:40:38 | |
British number one Johanna Konta
said defeat in the second | 1:40:38 | 1:40:40 | |
round at Indian Wells was one
of the tougher losses of her career. | 1:40:40 | 1:40:44 | |
She lost in straight sets
to 18-year-old Marketa Vondrousova, | 1:40:44 | 1:40:46 | |
ranked 54th in the world. | 1:40:46 | 1:40:48 | |
Konta has won only eight matches
since she reached the semi-finals | 1:40:48 | 1:40:51 | |
at Wimbledon last summer. | 1:40:51 | 1:40:59 | |
Rory McIlroy's Masters preparations
suffered a setback after another | 1:41:00 | 1:41:02 | |
poor round at the Valspar
Championship in Florida. | 1:41:02 | 1:41:04 | |
He won't be back for the weekend
after carding a 73 to finish | 1:41:04 | 1:41:08 | |
on five over par. | 1:41:08 | 1:41:09 | |
Meanwhile Tiger Woods is two shots
off the pace after a round of 68. | 1:41:09 | 1:41:13 | |
Canada's Corey Conners
leads on six under par. | 1:41:13 | 1:41:15 | |
The continuing controversy
surrounding Team Sky doesn't seem | 1:41:15 | 1:41:16 | |
So in less than a month's time the
Commonwealth Games begin in | 1:41:20 | 1:41:24 | |
Australia. All the countries will be
sending out their teams to the Gold | 1:41:24 | 1:41:29 | |
Coast. Are you going? Yes. I know.
Very lucky. I heard a rumour you | 1:41:29 | 1:41:35 | |
will be doing the sports bulletins
from the beach? Yes, every morning, | 1:41:35 | 1:41:39 | |
from Wednesday the fourth of April,
until it ends, we will be bringing | 1:41:39 | 1:41:43 | |
you the sport bulletins from the
beach of the Gold Coast. What is | 1:41:43 | 1:41:51 | |
sports presenter attire when
presenting a bulletin from the | 1:41:51 | 1:41:53 | |
beach? Linen, apparently. Lots of
linen. Pastel shades, I think. | 1:41:53 | 1:41:58 | |
Anyway, look. In the lead up to
these games I have been meeting some | 1:41:58 | 1:42:04 | |
of the athletes and the medal hopes
from some of the home nations. -- | 1:42:04 | 1:42:07 | |
all of the home nations. | 1:42:07 | 1:42:09 | |
This week I've been to Wales to meet
an extraordinary table tennis player | 1:42:09 | 1:42:12 | |
who's only 11. | 1:42:12 | 1:42:13 | |
Your first year at secondary school
is a big step in life. | 1:42:13 | 1:42:16 | |
But maybe not if you're Anna,
who at the age of 11 | 1:42:16 | 1:42:20 | |
is about to represent her country
on the other side of the world, | 1:42:20 | 1:42:23 | |
and at the same time,
rewrite the history books. | 1:42:23 | 1:42:26 | |
MUSIC. | 1:42:26 | 1:42:32 | |
Now, these pictures
haven't been sped up. | 1:42:32 | 1:42:35 | |
This is how good Anna is. | 1:42:35 | 1:42:38 | |
At school, in her lunch hour,
she doesn't give anybody a chance, | 1:42:38 | 1:42:42 | |
as she builds up to competing
at the senior Commonwealth Games in | 1:42:42 | 1:42:45 | |
Australia. | 1:42:45 | 1:42:49 | |
It's really good, it's exciting. | 1:42:49 | 1:42:50 | |
I am a bit nervous. | 1:42:50 | 1:42:51 | |
Seeing new countries,
and making new friends. | 1:42:51 | 1:42:56 | |
It is mesmerising watching Anna,
who just remember, only recently | 1:42:56 | 1:42:59 | |
graduated primary school
and has already graduated | 1:42:59 | 1:43:01 | |
to the Commonwealth games,
thought to be the youngest athlete | 1:43:01 | 1:43:04 | |
in history to do so. | 1:43:04 | 1:43:05 | |
No shame, John! | 1:43:05 | 1:43:11 | |
It is breathtaking how fast
years, it is remarkable. | 1:43:11 | 1:43:14 | |
We're very lucky as a school
to have her here. | 1:43:14 | 1:43:17 | |
I think she's going to do her school
proud and do Wales proud as well. | 1:43:17 | 1:43:25 | |
She's really nice and we didn't know
at first that she was this good | 1:43:27 | 1:43:31 | |
when we were in primary,
it's really amazing how she is just | 1:43:31 | 1:43:34 | |
11 years old and she beats
all the adult players. | 1:43:34 | 1:43:39 | |
Anna started playing table
tennis when she was five | 1:43:39 | 1:43:41 | |
and because there are not enough
players of her standard in Wales, | 1:43:41 | 1:43:45 | |
she has recently spent time training
in China against the best | 1:43:45 | 1:43:48 | |
in the world. | 1:43:48 | 1:43:50 | |
OK, I'm very nervous about this. | 1:43:50 | 1:43:56 | |
This humiliation is the result
of most of Anna's gains. | 1:43:56 | 1:43:58 | |
This is what she's going to try
to do to all those... | 1:43:58 | 1:44:06 | |
That spin! | 1:44:07 | 1:44:09 | |
Look at that! | 1:44:09 | 1:44:14 | |
This is what Anna will be doing,
I'm sure, to many senior players | 1:44:14 | 1:44:20 | |
on the Gold Coast. | 1:44:20 | 1:44:21 | |
You have to be really fast. | 1:44:21 | 1:44:27 | |
Spin! | 1:44:27 | 1:44:28 | |
That is crazy. | 1:44:28 | 1:44:30 | |
Sorry. | 1:44:30 | 1:44:33 | |
You have to be, like,
thinking quick, which ball you're | 1:44:33 | 1:44:36 | |
going to hit, what you are going
to do, plan it before | 1:44:36 | 1:44:39 | |
you play your point and then
you rest for three seconds and then | 1:44:39 | 1:44:43 | |
you play again. | 1:44:43 | 1:44:44 | |
Just think about it. | 1:44:44 | 1:44:48 | |
Anna now spends over three hours
a day perfecting her shots | 1:44:48 | 1:44:51 | |
because she wants to show the world
she is not going to the Gold Coast | 1:44:51 | 1:44:55 | |
just for the experience. | 1:44:55 | 1:44:57 | |
I'm going there to try to win. | 1:44:57 | 1:45:00 | |
What would it mean to get a medal? | 1:45:00 | 1:45:07 | |
It would mean a lot. | 1:45:07 | 1:45:09 | |
There's no pressure,
you just have to play your best. | 1:45:09 | 1:45:12 | |
It is going to be big. I saw some
videos of last time. So many people! | 1:45:12 | 1:45:19 | |
What a talent, at 11 years of age.
Brilliant. And she is beating all | 1:45:19 | 1:45:24 | |
the under 18s across Wales. Now she
is taking on the world. | 1:45:24 | 1:45:28 | |
Here is Louise with a look
at this morning's weather. | 1:45:28 | 1:45:30 | |
Here is Louise with a look
at this morning's weather. | 1:45:30 | 1:45:33 | |
It looks from that picture that we
will have a little bit more warmth | 1:45:33 | 1:45:39 | |
today. A little bit. Do you remember
just a week ago we were talking | 1:45:39 | 1:45:43 | |
about the beast from the east, and
we had dark blue across the country? | 1:45:43 | 1:45:47 | |
We have the spark of yellow which
means the milder air pushing in from | 1:45:47 | 1:45:51 | |
the south. There is some rain to go
with it as well, so if you are | 1:45:51 | 1:45:55 | |
heading off to watch your kids play
rugby or football this morning, it | 1:45:55 | 1:45:59 | |
will be pretty soggy underfoot. Wet
Cat times as well. Because of these | 1:45:59 | 1:46:02 | |
weather fronts which a crossing tied
into this area of low pressure. One | 1:46:02 | 1:46:06 | |
moving its way into Scotland as we
speak, another one pushing into the | 1:46:06 | 1:46:10 | |
south-west. Sandwiched between the
two there will be a little bit of | 1:46:10 | 1:46:14 | |
brightness, not a bad start across
Wales, the Midlands, down into the | 1:46:14 | 1:46:17 | |
south-east at the moment, but more
showery rain heading in your | 1:46:17 | 1:46:21 | |
direction. The rain as it pushes its
way steadily north into Scotland | 1:46:21 | 1:46:24 | |
will contain little bit of wet,
sleet and snow, but milder air is | 1:46:24 | 1:46:28 | |
starting to dig in behind it. So it
we are not too worried about that, | 1:46:28 | 1:46:32 | |
but it will be a wet afternoon for
much of Scotland. The same for | 1:46:32 | 1:46:36 | |
Northern Ireland, and here is the
next band of rain, albeit showery. | 1:46:36 | 1:46:40 | |
Because it is showery, if we get
decent breaks and sunshine coming | 1:46:40 | 1:46:44 | |
through, temperatures will respond.
13 to 15 degrees quite widely, and | 1:46:44 | 1:46:48 | |
if we get over 15 degrees, it will
be the warmest day of the year so | 1:46:48 | 1:46:52 | |
far. A little ray of sunshine for
you this Saturday. That rain will | 1:46:52 | 1:47:05 | |
push its way steadily north and
linger in the Northern Isles. | 1:47:13 | 1:47:16 | |
Elsewhere, clear skies and lighter
winds through the night will allow | 1:47:16 | 1:47:19 | |
some fog to form, and some of that
will be a little bit of a nuisance | 1:47:19 | 1:47:23 | |
I'm afraid for your Sunday morning,
especially in sheltered eastern | 1:47:23 | 1:47:26 | |
areas. Be prepared for a murky old
Mother's Day morning. Hopefully that | 1:47:26 | 1:47:29 | |
fog will lift and conditions will
improve. We are likely to see some | 1:47:29 | 1:47:33 | |
showers in the south-west, some of
them will be heavy and possibly | 1:47:33 | 1:47:36 | |
thundery. The best of the drier
weather will be further north, but | 1:47:36 | 1:47:39 | |
generally speaking those
temperatures widely into double | 1:47:39 | 1:47:41 | |
digits for all. The last time we had
double digits in Scotland way back | 1:47:41 | 1:47:45 | |
on 20 fabric, so it looks as though
things could certainly be a lot | 1:47:45 | 1:47:49 | |
worse this weekend. -- 20 February. | 1:47:49 | 1:47:50 | |
We will be back with
the headlines at 8am. | 1:47:50 | 1:47:53 | |
But first, it is time
for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed. | 1:47:53 | 1:47:55 | |
But first, it is time
for Newswatch, with Samira Ahmed. | 1:47:55 | 1:47:55 | |
Hello and welcome to Newswatch,
with me, Samira Ahmed. | 1:47:55 | 1:47:58 | |
The attempted murder of a double
agent on British soil - | 1:47:58 | 1:48:01 | |
did BBC News report it
proportionately and fairly? | 1:48:01 | 1:48:03 | |
And was the Oscars ceremony
an excuse for trivial gushing over | 1:48:03 | 1:48:06 | |
celebrities, or a welcome
dose of glamour? | 1:48:06 | 1:48:11 | |
The week began with some news that
could have come from a John le Carre | 1:48:11 | 1:48:15 | |
novel, described here at the top
of Monday's News at Ten by Fiona | 1:48:15 | 1:48:19 | |
Bruce. | 1:48:19 | 1:48:20 | |
A former Russian spy is critical
in hospital after a suspected | 1:48:20 | 1:48:23 | |
poisoning in Salisbury. | 1:48:23 | 1:48:24 | |
Sergei Skripal, convicted of spying
on Russia for the UK, | 1:48:24 | 1:48:27 | |
has been living in Britain
for nearly eight years. | 1:48:27 | 1:48:29 | |
Police in protective clothing have
sealed the area after the Russian | 1:48:29 | 1:48:32 | |
and a young woman were found
unconscious on a bench. | 1:48:32 | 1:48:35 | |
We'll bring you the latest,
as police and doctors race | 1:48:35 | 1:48:38 | |
to establish if this is another
example of a Russian being poisoned | 1:48:38 | 1:48:41 | |
on UK soil. | 1:48:41 | 1:48:44 | |
That last suggestion of Russian
involvement was examined many times | 1:48:44 | 1:48:47 | |
during the week, but without any
conclusive proof being put forward, | 1:48:47 | 1:48:50 | |
and that prompted one Twitter
user to complain that... | 1:48:50 | 1:48:58 | |
Evidence of Russian involvement
wasn't the only thing lacking. | 1:49:03 | 1:49:06 | |
Despite plenty of airtime
being devoted to the story, | 1:49:06 | 1:49:09 | |
actual news developments
were slow to emerge. | 1:49:09 | 1:49:11 | |
A viewer called John e-mailed... | 1:49:11 | 1:49:17 | |
Meanwhile, Mike Barnes had
a different point to make. | 1:49:27 | 1:49:30 | |
If some thought there should be
a presumption of innocence | 1:49:53 | 1:49:56 | |
for Russia over the nerve agent
attack, then for others, | 1:49:56 | 1:49:58 | |
the same was true
of Bradley Wiggins. | 1:49:58 | 1:50:00 | |
The Olympic gold-medal-winning
cyclist was found by a House | 1:50:00 | 1:50:03 | |
of Commons Select Committee
on Monday to have crossed an ethical | 1:50:03 | 1:50:06 | |
line in taking asthma drugs
to enhance his performance. | 1:50:06 | 1:50:10 | |
Richard Conway reported on the story
for the News at Six. | 1:50:10 | 1:50:14 | |
He's a sporting icon,
a Tour de France winner, | 1:50:14 | 1:50:17 | |
and Britain's most
decorated Olympian. | 1:50:17 | 1:50:19 | |
But a damning report has accused
Sir Bradley Wiggins of unethical | 1:50:19 | 1:50:22 | |
behaviour over his use of drugs that
MPs say were taken to boost | 1:50:22 | 1:50:25 | |
performance, and not
just for medical need. | 1:50:25 | 1:50:32 | |
John Sheffield got in
touch with us to say... | 1:50:32 | 1:50:35 | |
Now, the main purpose of BBC News
is to inform its audience, | 1:51:00 | 1:51:03 | |
but is there such a thing
as too much information? | 1:51:03 | 1:51:08 | |
That is the charge that's been made
over the past week by viewers | 1:51:08 | 1:51:11 | |
of the BBC News Channel,
some of whom were watching | 1:51:11 | 1:51:14 | |
the Prime Minister's speech
about Brexit last Friday, | 1:51:14 | 1:51:16 | |
and found their eyes drawn
to the right side of the screen, | 1:51:16 | 1:51:19 | |
as we look at it. | 1:51:19 | 1:51:21 | |
We are clear that, as we leave
the EU, free movement of people | 1:51:21 | 1:51:24 | |
will come to an end,
and we will control the number | 1:51:24 | 1:51:27 | |
of people who come to
live in our country. | 1:51:27 | 1:51:30 | |
But UK citizens will still want
to work and study in EU countries, | 1:51:30 | 1:51:33 | |
just as EU citizens will want
to do the same here. | 1:51:33 | 1:51:38 | |
There's quite a lot going
on on the screen there, | 1:51:38 | 1:51:40 | |
the "breaking news" banner
with the description | 1:51:40 | 1:51:43 | |
of what Theresa May is saying,
the scrolling ticker below that, | 1:51:43 | 1:51:45 | |
summarising other news stories,
tweets reacting to the speech, | 1:51:45 | 1:51:48 | |
oh, and the speech itself. | 1:51:48 | 1:51:51 | |
Susan Rowe was one of those
who found it all too much. | 1:51:51 | 1:51:54 | |
The live speech reaction panel
on the right-hand side | 1:51:54 | 1:51:57 | |
of the screen, with random comments
from journalists and political | 1:51:57 | 1:51:59 | |
commentators, rendered it almost
impossible to concentrate | 1:51:59 | 1:52:01 | |
on the contents of the speech. | 1:52:01 | 1:52:06 | |
There was already comment
at the bottom of the screen. | 1:52:06 | 1:52:08 | |
Please give the British public
the chance to listen and watch | 1:52:08 | 1:52:13 | |
without being constantly
interrupted by random comments | 1:52:13 | 1:52:15 | |
from all and sundry,
which pretty much repeat | 1:52:15 | 1:52:17 | |
each other anyway. | 1:52:17 | 1:52:25 | |
The practice of splitting the screen
in this way is also used | 1:52:30 | 1:52:33 | |
during the live broadcast
of Prime Minister's Questions, | 1:52:33 | 1:52:35 | |
and last week James Turner objected
to the presence of this tweet | 1:52:35 | 1:52:38 | |
from Carrie Symonds,
who was the Conservative Party's | 1:52:38 | 1:52:41 | |
director of communications,
a fact not made clear on air. | 1:52:41 | 1:52:46 | |
And, after this week's PMQs
Adrian David also thought... | 1:52:46 | 1:52:53 | |
Do let us know what you think
of those tweets appearing on screen. | 1:53:02 | 1:53:05 | |
Added value, or just a distraction? | 1:53:05 | 1:53:07 | |
If you think it's the latter,
you may like to know that | 1:53:07 | 1:53:10 | |
Prime Minister's Question Time is
shown not just on the News Channel, | 1:53:10 | 1:53:14 | |
but also on BBC Two,
where it appears full-frame, | 1:53:14 | 1:53:16 | |
without tweets running
along the side. | 1:53:16 | 1:53:19 | |
There will be details of how
to contact us at the end | 1:53:19 | 1:53:22 | |
of the programme. | 1:53:22 | 1:53:26 | |
Sunday night saw the big night
of the year for the film industry. | 1:53:26 | 1:53:29 | |
Some love watching the Oscars
for the glitz, the outfits, | 1:53:29 | 1:53:32 | |
or the drama. | 1:53:32 | 1:53:35 | |
For others, as we'll see,
the appeal is not so great. | 1:53:35 | 1:53:38 | |
For Breakfast on Monday morning,
Rebecca Jones was outside | 1:53:38 | 1:53:40 | |
the post-ceremony Vanity Fair
party, collaring some | 1:53:40 | 1:53:42 | |
of the night's winners. | 1:53:42 | 1:53:43 | |
Yes, morning everyone
from Hollywood. | 1:53:43 | 1:53:45 | |
And I have a Great British success
story here, and the headline | 1:53:45 | 1:53:48 | |
reads for itself. | 1:53:48 | 1:53:49 | |
From Hollyoaks to Hollywood. | 1:53:49 | 1:53:50 | |
I've got the winners of the best
short film for The Silent Child, | 1:53:50 | 1:53:54 | |
Rachel Shenton, Chris
Overton, from Britain! | 1:53:54 | 1:53:55 | |
Show us your Oscars. | 1:53:55 | 1:53:56 | |
Yes. | 1:53:56 | 1:54:01 | |
And they've already got your names,
already engraved on them. | 1:54:01 | 1:54:06 | |
David Baker also felt the BBC's news
values were wrong on Monday morning. | 1:54:06 | 1:54:09 | |
And Rosemary Smith agreed. | 1:54:37 | 1:54:45 | |
On Tuesday, BBC News reported
on calls from public health | 1:54:55 | 1:54:58 | |
officials for Britain
to go on a diet. | 1:54:58 | 1:55:00 | |
Health editor Hugh Pym set up
the numbers for the 6:00pm | 1:55:00 | 1:55:03 | |
and 10:00pm bulletins. | 1:55:03 | 1:55:06 | |
Here's the obesity problem. | 1:55:06 | 1:55:08 | |
A child's diet might include
breakfast with nearly 500 calories, | 1:55:08 | 1:55:11 | |
a packed lunch with more than 1,000,
an after-school snack at around 250, | 1:55:11 | 1:55:14 | |
and pasta and a pudding for dinner,
with more than 800 calories. | 1:55:14 | 1:55:18 | |
But that's nearly 600
above the recommended limit | 1:55:18 | 1:55:20 | |
for children, which is like eating
an extra meal a day. | 1:55:20 | 1:55:28 | |
Most television reports on obesity
like this one show footage | 1:55:31 | 1:55:34 | |
of the bodies, but not the faces,
of overweight members of the public. | 1:55:34 | 1:55:37 | |
One Newswatch viewer,
a medical doctor who preferred | 1:55:37 | 1:55:41 | |
to remain anonymous,
e-mailed us recently | 1:55:41 | 1:55:43 | |
with his thoughts
about that practice. | 1:55:43 | 1:55:50 | |
Hugh Pym was also on the air
on Thursday with some more | 1:56:15 | 1:56:19 | |
statistics about what has become
a familiar story this winter, | 1:56:19 | 1:56:22 | |
about cancelled non-urgent surgery
in English hospitals. | 1:56:22 | 1:56:26 | |
Figures out today reveal the scale
of the cancellations. | 1:56:26 | 1:56:29 | |
In December, there were nearly
27,000 fewer routine operations | 1:56:29 | 1:56:31 | |
carried out in England than the same
month a year earlier. | 1:56:31 | 1:56:34 | |
In January, there was
a drop of nearly 14,500. | 1:56:34 | 1:56:40 | |
And, for the most recent two-week
period, bed occupancy in hospitals | 1:56:40 | 1:56:43 | |
at more than 95% was
the highest this winter. | 1:56:43 | 1:56:48 | |
Steve Gordon wrote to
us with his reaction. | 1:56:48 | 1:56:55 | |
Finally, Andy Cross is a keen
watcher of BBC News programmes, | 1:57:23 | 1:57:26 | |
but has a frustration
he shared with us recently. | 1:57:26 | 1:57:29 | |
He recorded this video to explain. | 1:57:29 | 1:57:32 | |
Could you please explain the logic
of scheduling news programmes | 1:57:32 | 1:57:35 | |
at the same time on different
channels every night? | 1:57:35 | 1:57:38 | |
I watch the News at Ten on BBC One,
and then I'm invited to either | 1:57:38 | 1:57:42 | |
watch my local news or turn over
to Newsnight, starting at the same | 1:57:42 | 1:57:45 | |
time on BBC Two. | 1:57:45 | 1:57:48 | |
As someone who enjoys news
programmes, it's so frustrating | 1:57:48 | 1:57:50 | |
to have to either choose between two
programmes or record one for later, | 1:57:50 | 1:57:54 | |
especially as there's always
a taster of what's to come | 1:57:54 | 1:57:56 | |
on Newsnight given at
the end of the news. | 1:57:56 | 1:58:00 | |
Newsnight has testimonies
from the women at the centre. | 1:58:00 | 1:58:08 | |
If this is two competing channels,
I'd completely understand, | 1:58:08 | 1:58:09 | |
but they're both BBC. | 1:58:09 | 1:58:10 | |
To add insult to injury,
Question Time then competes | 1:58:10 | 1:58:13 | |
with Newsnight every
Thursday, as well. | 1:58:13 | 1:58:18 | |
Don't BBC One and BBC Two talk
to each other, and why only | 1:58:18 | 1:58:22 | |
on the later programming? | 1:58:22 | 1:58:24 | |
BBC Two offers an alternative
to the News at Six. | 1:58:24 | 1:58:26 | |
The later scheduling is a pain
to everyone, really. | 1:58:26 | 1:58:29 | |
If you like news programmes,
you can't watch them all, | 1:58:29 | 1:58:32 | |
and if you don't like news
programmes, you can't get | 1:58:32 | 1:58:34 | |
away from them. | 1:58:34 | 1:58:36 | |
It's very frustrating. | 1:58:36 | 1:58:39 | |
Thank you for that,
and to all of those who got in touch | 1:58:39 | 1:58:42 | |
with us this week. | 1:58:42 | 1:58:43 | |

Goodbye. | 1:59:11 | 1:59:13 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 2:00:11 | 2:00:17 | |
The attempted murder of a former
Russian spy and his daughter. | 2:00:17 | 2:00:20 | |
The government will hold a second
emergency meeting today. | 2:00:20 | 2:00:22 | |
Nearly 200 military experts
in chemical warfare have been | 2:00:22 | 2:00:24 | |
deployed to help the investigation. | 2:00:24 | 2:00:30 | |
Good morning, it's
Saturday 10th March. | 2:00:40 | 2:00:42 | |
Also this morning... | 2:00:42 | 2:00:45 | |
A deal "very much in the making" -
President Trump strikes a positive | 2:00:45 | 2:00:51 | |
tone over a potential meeting
with Kim Jong-un, but the White | 2:00:51 | 2:00:54 | |
but the White House says North Korea
must take "concrete steps" | 2:00:54 | 2:00:57 | |
before it can take place. | 2:00:57 | 2:00:59 | |
Tackling the recruitment crisis
in England's schools - | 2:00:59 | 2:01:01 | |
the Education secretary promises
to cut teachers' workloads. | 2:01:01 | 2:01:05 | |
In sport, a first medal for Britain
at the winter Paralympics. | 2:01:05 | 2:01:07 | |
And it's a silver for visually
impaired skier Millie Knight | 2:01:07 | 2:01:11 | |
and her guide Brett Wild
in the downhill skiing. | 2:01:11 | 2:01:14 | |
It's absolutely fantastic. | 2:01:14 | 2:01:17 | |
This time last year I sustained
quite a severe concussion on this | 2:01:17 | 2:01:19 | |
slope where I crashed
into the finish line. | 2:01:19 | 2:01:23 | |
And to now cross the line today,
as Paralympic silver | 2:01:23 | 2:01:26 | |
medallists, is amazing. | 2:01:26 | 2:01:30 | |
And Louise has the weather... | 2:01:30 | 2:01:32 | |
Good morning. | 2:01:32 | 2:01:33 | |
Some good news for this Saturday. | 2:01:33 | 2:01:34 | |
Mild for all of us,
but there will be some rain around. | 2:01:34 | 2:01:37 | |
More details on exactly
where coming up shortly. | 2:01:37 | 2:01:41 | |
First, our main story. | 2:01:41 | 2:01:42 | |
The Home Secretary will chair
a second meeting of the government's | 2:01:42 | 2:01:46 | |
emergency Cobra committee today,
as investigations continue | 2:01:46 | 2:01:48 | |
into the poisoning of
a former Russian spy. | 2:01:48 | 2:01:51 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia are both in a serious | 2:01:51 | 2:01:54 | |
condition in hospital in Salisbury
after being exposed | 2:01:54 | 2:01:56 | |
to a nerve agent. | 2:01:56 | 2:01:59 | |
Specialist troops trained
in chemical warfare have been | 2:01:59 | 2:02:01 | |
deployed to the city,
as Andy Moore reports. | 2:02:01 | 2:02:06 | |
Driven away by the Army last night,
a police car possibly contaminated | 2:02:06 | 2:02:09 | |
by traces of nerve agent. | 2:02:09 | 2:02:13 | |
It had been parked outside
Salisbury Hospital. | 2:02:13 | 2:02:17 | |
During the day, military personnel
in protective gear had made it | 2:02:17 | 2:02:20 | |
ready for transportation. | 2:02:20 | 2:02:22 | |
This cemetery is another focus
of the investigation. | 2:02:22 | 2:02:27 | |
Sergei Skripal's wife is buried
here, and there's also | 2:02:27 | 2:02:29 | |
a memorial stone for his son. | 2:02:29 | 2:02:31 | |
Alexander's birthday was last week. | 2:02:31 | 2:02:33 | |
Yulia had flown in from Russia
to visit her father. | 2:02:33 | 2:02:35 | |
Did they both come here
to pay their respects | 2:02:35 | 2:02:37 | |
before they fell ill? | 2:02:37 | 2:02:45 | |
We're told Yulia is responding
better than her father | 2:02:47 | 2:02:49 | |
to medical treatment,
but they are both seriously ill. | 2:02:49 | 2:02:51 | |
Detective Sergeant Nick Bailey,
who was also exposed to the nerve | 2:02:51 | 2:02:54 | |
agent, is said to be
making good progress. | 2:02:54 | 2:02:56 | |
From the people of Salisbury,
there's some understandable anxiety, | 2:02:56 | 2:02:58 | |
but no sign of widespread fear. | 2:02:58 | 2:03:02 | |
We're concerned about public safety. | 2:03:02 | 2:03:04 | |
We've got two young sons who often
come into the centre. | 2:03:04 | 2:03:07 | |
So, you know, we want
it to be safe here. | 2:03:07 | 2:03:11 | |
If there have been no further cases
that we have been told about - | 2:03:11 | 2:03:14 | |
and I presume we would have been
told about - then we can only trust | 2:03:14 | 2:03:18 | |
the government and trust
the local authorities | 2:03:18 | 2:03:19 | |
that they are handling the case. | 2:03:19 | 2:03:21 | |
I don't feel worried. | 2:03:21 | 2:03:22 | |
I feel very safe in Salisbury. | 2:03:22 | 2:03:24 | |
I assume that everybody has
got it under control. | 2:03:24 | 2:03:26 | |
I just hope they get to the bottom
of it so we can actually find out | 2:03:26 | 2:03:30 | |
exactly what's been happening. | 2:03:30 | 2:03:32 | |
On Tuesday, the Defence Secretary
was just one of several senior | 2:03:32 | 2:03:35 | |
ministers to attend the first
meeting of Cobra dealing | 2:03:35 | 2:03:37 | |
with this attack. | 2:03:37 | 2:03:38 | |
This afternoon, there
will be a second meeting. | 2:03:38 | 2:03:40 | |
Senior counterterrorist
police officers will give | 2:03:40 | 2:03:44 | |
an update on the progress
of their investigation. | 2:03:44 | 2:03:48 | |
But very little information
is being shared with the public. | 2:03:48 | 2:03:51 | |
Andy Moore, BBC News. | 2:03:51 | 2:03:56 | |
Let's go to Salisbury now,
and our Home Affairs | 2:03:56 | 2:03:58 | |
Correspondent Dominic Casciani. | 2:03:58 | 2:04:04 | |
Bring us up to date with
developments. Troops are still on | 2:04:04 | 2:04:06 | |
the streets there. Yes, not quite on
the streets, I presume overnight | 2:04:06 | 2:04:15 | |
they have been in their barracks and
having a hearty breakfast ahead of | 2:04:15 | 2:04:19 | |
what is probably going to be quite
challenging and full day for them. | 2:04:19 | 2:04:22 | |
Last night we saw the car removed
from the hospital, a police car, the | 2:04:22 | 2:04:27 | |
first of many vehicles are expected
be taken away. We think their next | 2:04:27 | 2:04:31 | |
focus could possibly be ambulances
that were used in first response | 2:04:31 | 2:04:35 | |
because of the possibility that they
are also contaminated with traces of | 2:04:35 | 2:04:39 | |
the nerve agent, or just as a
precautionary measure, it taken away | 2:04:39 | 2:04:44 | |
to decontaminate them. Police also
want the be our media, specialist | 2:04:44 | 2:04:49 | |
units with chemical warfare
training, to take away other objects | 2:04:49 | 2:04:55 | |
that might be of interest. I think
we saw the first sign of that. -- | 2:04:55 | 2:05:00 | |
police also want the Army here. They
to the graveyard where Skripal's | 2:05:00 | 2:05:07 | |
wife and son have gravestones. They
took away a sealed yellow tub, which | 2:05:07 | 2:05:16 | |
may have been flowers, which they
left before they fell ill. There is | 2:05:16 | 2:05:21 | |
some military activity going on
through the day. The Zizzi pizza | 2:05:21 | 2:05:28 | |
rear behind the investigation is
behind large screens. Police will be | 2:05:28 | 2:05:32 | |
there for some time if they have put
up these semipermanent screens. | 2:05:32 | 2:05:35 | |
There is a lot of activity up at
Sergei Skripal's house. We expect to | 2:05:35 | 2:05:40 | |
see recovery work and items taken
away. As for the Cobra meeting, it's | 2:05:40 | 2:05:44 | |
really not clear whether or not the
Home Secretary will come out to say | 2:05:44 | 2:05:48 | |
anything new. I don't think we
should hold our breath to hear about | 2:05:48 | 2:05:54 | |
who did it and why they did it yet.
Dominic Casciani reporting from | 2:05:54 | 2:05:57 | |
Salisbury. | 2:05:57 | 2:05:59 | |
President Trump has tweeted that
a deal with North Korea is "very | 2:05:59 | 2:06:02 | |
much in the making",
which he said would be | 2:06:02 | 2:06:04 | |
very good for the world. | 2:06:04 | 2:06:05 | |
The White House says he won't meet
Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang | 2:06:05 | 2:06:08 | |
takes concrete steps
to end its nuclear programme. | 2:06:08 | 2:06:09 | |
Our correspondent
Robin Brant is in Seoul. | 2:06:09 | 2:06:11 | |
What's the feeling in South Korea? | 2:06:11 | 2:06:19 | |
South Korea's leader is the man his
government engineered this meeting, | 2:06:21 | 2:06:32 | |
or certainly the agreement to the
meeting. He is hugely optimistic | 2:06:32 | 2:06:34 | |
about what might come from it.
Yesterday he referred to the | 2:06:34 | 2:06:38 | |
prospect of these two men sitting
down, Donald Trump and Kim Jong-un | 2:06:38 | 2:06:43 | |
as a miracle. He has described it as
a milestone on the road to realising | 2:06:43 | 2:06:48 | |
a peace agreement. That is before it
has even happen, before we have had | 2:06:48 | 2:06:52 | |
a time and place for the meeting.
And there is naturally as well, for | 2:06:52 | 2:06:57 | |
those who are more cynical and
realistic, they might say the chance | 2:06:57 | 2:07:00 | |
of anything substantial coming from
the meeting in the past, the North | 2:07:00 | 2:07:05 | |
Koreans have promised to freeze
their nuclear weapons and missile | 2:07:05 | 2:07:09 | |
programme, but go back on that when
they don't get what they want. In | 2:07:09 | 2:07:14 | |
terms of the message overnight from
Washington, after a startling | 2:07:14 | 2:07:18 | |
agreement from the president to sit
down with Kim Jong-un, it has been | 2:07:18 | 2:07:21 | |
confusing. On the one hand we have
the White House press secretary | 2:07:21 | 2:07:25 | |
saying the meeting would only go
ahead if there were concrete steps | 2:07:25 | 2:07:28 | |
coming out from North Korea in terms
of denuclearisation. That is the | 2:07:28 | 2:07:34 | |
first time we heard of
preconditions. We were told the | 2:07:34 | 2:07:38 | |
president had just agreed to sit
down with Kim Jong-un without | 2:07:38 | 2:07:41 | |
preconditions at all, but we had
this text, rather this tweet from | 2:07:41 | 2:07:46 | |
the president talking about a deal
being very much in the making and if | 2:07:46 | 2:07:50 | |
completed, he said, it would be a
very good one for the world. He then | 2:07:50 | 2:07:54 | |
went on to say that plans are being
made. It's clear from the White | 2:07:54 | 2:07:59 | |
House, despite the confusing
message, that this will happen by | 2:07:59 | 2:08:01 | |
the end of May. Details about any
kind of agenda and who is willing to | 2:08:01 | 2:08:08 | |
offer what, we are a long way from
that. Robin, thank you. | 2:08:08 | 2:08:12 | |
An 85-year-old man has died
while waiting in an Accident | 2:08:12 | 2:08:15 | |
and Emergency unit because of
"dangerous overcrowding", | 2:08:15 | 2:08:18 | |
according to a hospital boss. | 2:08:18 | 2:08:21 | |
The man suffered a cardiac arrest
while waiting to see a senior | 2:08:21 | 2:08:24 | |
consultant at Northampton General
Hospital. | 2:08:24 | 2:08:27 | |
A leaked email from the trust's
medical director describes his death | 2:08:27 | 2:08:30 | |
as "due entirely to dangerous
overcrowding in the department". | 2:08:30 | 2:08:32 | |
In a statement the hospital
said the long wait for | 2:08:32 | 2:08:34 | |
treatment was unacceptable. | 2:08:34 | 2:08:37 | |
The National Rifle Association has
mounted a legal challenge to new gun | 2:08:37 | 2:08:41 | |
control measures in Florida drawn up
in the wake of a school shooting | 2:08:41 | 2:08:44 | |
last month which left
17 people dead. | 2:08:44 | 2:08:46 | |
It says the new law,
which will raise the legal age | 2:08:46 | 2:08:51 | |
to purchase firearms,
but also allows the training | 2:08:51 | 2:08:53 | |
and arming of school
staff, is unconstitutional. | 2:08:53 | 2:08:57 | |
Teachers in England could see
their workloads cut, | 2:08:57 | 2:09:05 | |
under proposals being set out
today by the Education | 2:09:07 | 2:09:09 | |
Secretary, Dominic Hinds. | 2:09:09 | 2:09:11 | |
He will tell a headteachers'
conference in Birmingham that long | 2:09:11 | 2:09:13 | |
working hours and too much red tape
are becoming a barrier to recruiting | 2:09:13 | 2:09:16 | |
and retaining staff. | 2:09:16 | 2:09:17 | |
If you've been watching this week,
you'll have seen that we've | 2:09:17 | 2:09:20 | |
been keeping up to date
with Zoe Ball's Sport | 2:09:20 | 2:09:22 | |
Relief challenge. | 2:09:22 | 2:09:23 | |
Well, there's some good news. | 2:09:23 | 2:09:24 | |
She crossed the line last night! | 2:09:24 | 2:09:26 | |
We should warn you that there's some
flash photography in the pictures | 2:09:26 | 2:09:29 | |
we're about to show you. | 2:09:29 | 2:09:30 | |
Zoe arrived in Brighton after
cycling 350 miles from Blackpool. | 2:09:30 | 2:09:32 | |
Yesterday was a tough
day with lots of big | 2:09:32 | 2:09:35 | |
hills and heavy rain. | 2:09:35 | 2:09:41 | |
Welcoming her to the end of her
journey. | 2:09:41 | 2:09:44 | |
She's raised more
than half-a-million | 2:09:44 | 2:09:45 | |
pounds for Sport Relief. | 2:09:45 | 2:09:52 | |
We saw her along the way. She
struggled on a couple of days, I | 2:09:53 | 2:09:57 | |
think. Can you imagine the saddle
sore, well done Zoe | 2:09:57 | 2:10:02 | |
think. Can you imagine the saddle
sore, well done Zoe. | 2:10:02 | 2:10:05 | |
Teachers have long said that red
tape and bureaucracy have been | 2:10:05 | 2:10:08 | |
getting in the way of them
doing their jobs. | 2:10:08 | 2:10:10 | |
Over the last five years retention
targets for teachers have been | 2:10:10 | 2:10:13 | |
missed, as more of them
leave the profession. | 2:10:13 | 2:10:15 | |
Now the Education Secretary
will lay down his plans | 2:10:15 | 2:10:17 | |
to cut teachers' workload,
in an attempt to resolve | 2:10:17 | 2:10:19 | |
the recruitment crisis
in England's schools. | 2:10:19 | 2:10:23 | |
We can speak now to the head
of Ofsted, Amanda Spielman. | 2:10:23 | 2:10:28 | |
Good morning to you and thank you
for your time this morning. Talk to | 2:10:28 | 2:10:32 | |
me about this red tape and workload.
Can you nail that's down a bit, what | 2:10:32 | 2:10:39 | |
are we talking about? We are talking
about a lot of different things, | 2:10:39 | 2:10:43 | |
partly about government policies and
the accountability system, | 2:10:43 | 2:10:47 | |
performance tables and inspection.
We are talking about the | 2:10:47 | 2:10:51 | |
consequences, how people use them,
how local authorities govern us and | 2:10:51 | 2:10:54 | |
what they do in response to an
inspection. We are talking about | 2:10:54 | 2:10:58 | |
things like the fear of litigation
and how high school leaders act and | 2:10:58 | 2:11:01 | |
what they do in response to
pressures and manage their schools. | 2:11:01 | 2:11:06 | |
What you have said quite a few
things there, you have said quite a | 2:11:06 | 2:11:11 | |
few things there which I can't
relate to the day to day doses of | 2:11:11 | 2:11:15 | |
being a teacher. Things like what
you choose to teach. | 2:11:15 | 2:11:23 | |
you choose to teach. Does it have
every teacher planning out every | 2:11:23 | 2:11:25 | |
teacher planning every lesson in
detail. The thing is how these | 2:11:25 | 2:11:31 | |
things are made up can make an
enormous difference. Lets try and be | 2:11:31 | 2:11:37 | |
specific. You talk about company
data structures to do with marketing | 2:11:37 | 2:11:41 | |
and how the work is set out. And how
much you have to put into that. Is | 2:11:41 | 2:11:45 | |
it possible to make that simpler
while retaining standards? I think | 2:11:45 | 2:11:50 | |
so. And there are many schools that
are doing really interesting and | 2:11:50 | 2:11:54 | |
innovative marketing policies that
are very clearly reducing the | 2:11:54 | 2:11:57 | |
workload and absolutely getting the
focus on the right things for | 2:11:57 | 2:12:00 | |
children. What I'm trying to do
today in my speech is talk about all | 2:12:00 | 2:12:04 | |
the ways that without accident we
can bump up the workload for | 2:12:04 | 2:12:11 | |
teachers. Ofsted is a part of that.
I'm talking about what we are doing | 2:12:11 | 2:12:15 | |
and saying and most importantly,
what we are saying we don't need to | 2:12:15 | 2:12:20 | |
see around these things that can
become giant pieces of workload for | 2:12:20 | 2:12:23 | |
schools. My sons get the impression
that you think, as head of Ofsted, | 2:12:23 | 2:12:28 | |
the chief inspector of schools, is
Ofsted part of the problem? We are | 2:12:28 | 2:12:32 | |
all part of the problem. It's fair
to say. We have been for a couple of | 2:12:32 | 2:12:38 | |
years now, more than a couple of
years, and are continuing to do | 2:12:38 | 2:12:41 | |
everything we can to defuse. An
important message from us is that if | 2:12:41 | 2:12:45 | |
you are running a good school, if
every week things are running well, | 2:12:45 | 2:12:49 | |
and you let Ofsted see the school as
it actually runs normally, then the | 2:12:49 | 2:12:53 | |
inspection outcome will be good.
That's the core message for | 2:12:53 | 2:12:56 | |
teachers. Talk to us about teacher
recruitment. Is there one glaringly | 2:12:56 | 2:13:03 | |
obvious possibility to getting more
people, and the best people into | 2:13:03 | 2:13:07 | |
teaching, which is to pay them more
money. That's a whole different | 2:13:07 | 2:13:12 | |
angle. We do not look at the money
side of schools. But in reality it's | 2:13:12 | 2:13:16 | |
not a different argument. What you
are trying to achieve is the best | 2:13:16 | 2:13:20 | |
people to being teachers. That's
what we want, the best people being | 2:13:20 | 2:13:24 | |
teachers, who can do it most
effectively. One of the arguments | 2:13:24 | 2:13:28 | |
around this come you can't
disassociate these things, is that | 2:13:28 | 2:13:31 | |
if you offer greater salaries, maybe
alongside some of the changes you | 2:13:31 | 2:13:35 | |
are talking about, that could get
the result you want. At the end of | 2:13:35 | 2:13:39 | |
the day, you could pay people all
the money in the world, but if the | 2:13:39 | 2:13:42 | |
job is not fulfilling and rewarding
them people are not going to want to | 2:13:42 | 2:13:47 | |
do it. The first thing to do is make
sure the job is as doable as it can | 2:13:47 | 2:13:51 | |
be and the value for children is as
high as it can be for all the effort | 2:13:51 | 2:13:54 | |
that goes into it. How are we going
to know whether any of these ideas, | 2:13:54 | 2:13:59 | |
either from the Health Secretary or
from yourselves at Ofsted, how will | 2:13:59 | 2:14:03 | |
we know whether any of this is
making a difference? The proof will | 2:14:03 | 2:14:07 | |
be in the pudding. There are a lot
of surveys of teacher workload. Lots | 2:14:07 | 2:14:13 | |
of data about teacher recruitment
and retention. It will be easy to | 2:14:13 | 2:14:16 | |
track and see how things are moving.
What will be the statistic that | 2:14:16 | 2:14:21 | |
tells us whether it is working? When
you say it is working, there are a | 2:14:21 | 2:14:26 | |
whole series of things. I'm talking
today about seven or eight things | 2:14:26 | 2:14:30 | |
that we are doing and have done. The
Secretary of State will talk about | 2:14:30 | 2:14:34 | |
things from their perspective. Let
me steer you in a certain direction. | 2:14:34 | 2:14:39 | |
If we are talking about teacher
recruitment, for example, one of the | 2:14:39 | 2:14:43 | |
key issues everyone is thinking
about, a lot of people leaving the | 2:14:43 | 2:14:46 | |
profession for any number of
reasons, how can we judge this? You | 2:14:46 | 2:14:52 | |
seem to be saying there are eight
different ways we can judge it. What | 2:14:52 | 2:14:56 | |
about teacher recruitment? How soon,
if these policies the Education | 2:14:56 | 2:15:00 | |
Secretary and you are talking about,
if they brought in, how soon could | 2:15:00 | 2:15:06 | |
we see a result? That's not a
question I could answer. We are | 2:15:06 | 2:15:09 | |
talking about time for changes to
work through systems. It's always a | 2:15:09 | 2:15:15 | |
little uncertain, especially when
you have to shift perceptions... | 2:15:15 | 2:15:18 | |
Time is so crucial in education.
Anyone with a child in a school | 2:15:24 | 2:15:29 | |
today who has eight more years of
education, they do not have time. | 2:15:29 | 2:15:33 | |
That will be their child's education
over. It is frustrating when people | 2:15:33 | 2:15:38 | |
who are involved in education say,
just give it a length of time, we do | 2:15:38 | 2:15:43 | |
not know how long it will take but
that could be someone's entire | 2:15:43 | 2:15:47 | |
education. I did not say give it a
length of time, I said I could not | 2:15:47 | 2:15:51 | |
say how long it would take for this
to work through. That is exactly why | 2:15:51 | 2:15:55 | |
we're | 2:15:55 | 2:16:05 | |
doing | 2:16:29 | 2:16:30 | |
You're watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 2:16:30 | 2:16:33 | |
The main stories this morning:
180 troops have been | 2:16:33 | 2:16:35 | |
brought in to assist police
after the attempted murder | 2:16:35 | 2:16:38 | |
of a former Russian spy
and his daughter in Salisbury. | 2:16:38 | 2:16:40 | |
President Trump has reaffirmed that
a deal with North Korea is very much | 2:16:40 | 2:16:43 | |
in the making after agreeing to meet
Kim Jong-un. | 2:16:43 | 2:16:45 | |
Here's Louise with a look
at this morning's weather. | 2:16:45 | 2:16:53 | |
everything we can right now are not
waiting. Doing everything we can, | 2:17:15 | 2:17:17 | |
today, and we have been doing it for
a couple of years and we are | 2:17:17 | 2:17:20 | |
carrying on doing it as fast as we
can. | 2:17:20 | 2:17:28 | |
There will be a pulse of wet
weather. It's a bit of a messy start | 2:17:37 | 2:17:46 | |
to Saturday. The heaviest and most
persistent rain through Northern | 2:17:46 | 2:17:49 | |
Ireland and into northern England
and into Scotland. Behind it, | 2:17:49 | 2:17:53 | |
showery outbreaks of rain. That
could allow the sunshine to come | 2:17:53 | 2:17:56 | |
through and temperatures to climb. A
mix of snow in there but we're not | 2:17:56 | 2:18:03 | |
concerned about it with milder air
pushing in. Into Northern Ireland | 2:18:03 | 2:18:10 | |
and the Lake District through the
afternoon. The cloud breaks up and | 2:18:10 | 2:18:14 | |
we will get some sunshine. 15
degrees and may be higher, and if | 2:18:14 | 2:18:18 | |
that happens, it could be the
warmest day of the year so far. I | 2:18:18 | 2:18:22 | |
know it's only March but we are
trying to add a glass is half full | 2:18:22 | 2:18:26 | |
story to the weather at the moment.
The rain continues to push its way | 2:18:26 | 2:18:30 | |
into the far north of Scotland
overnight. The winds full white, the | 2:18:30 | 2:18:35 | |
skies are clear and it will be quite
murky with patchy outbreaks of fog. | 2:18:35 | 2:18:41 | |
Tomorrow morning, particularly
through eastern England, a murky | 2:18:41 | 2:18:44 | |
start to Mother's Day. Hopefully
that will lift away and we will see | 2:18:44 | 2:18:47 | |
a better picture into the afternoon.
As the head through the day, we keep | 2:18:47 | 2:18:52 | |
the risk of rain in the Northern
Isles, but elsewhere we will have | 2:18:52 | 2:18:56 | |
showers breaking out across the
West, possibly heavy and thundery in | 2:18:56 | 2:19:00 | |
places as they drift across the
North. But double digit | 2:19:00 | 2:19:04 | |
temperatures, the last time we had
that in Scotland was the 20th of | 2:19:04 | 2:19:09 | |
February. That little ray of
sunshine, we had some clearer skies | 2:19:09 | 2:19:14 | |
earlier. It looks as though there
was a chance to see the Aurora last | 2:19:14 | 2:19:19 | |
night in Scotland. It looks tonight
as if there is the chance to see it | 2:19:19 | 2:19:24 | |
again. The bright yellow is that
greater chances but some of the | 2:19:24 | 2:19:30 | |
Green shows that across the northern
islands and the far north of | 2:19:30 | 2:19:33 | |
Scotland come you might get a chance
to see it. Get some photographs and | 2:19:33 | 2:19:36 | |
I would love to show them tomorrow
morning. | 2:19:36 | 2:19:46 | |
More often than not
after a baby's born, | 2:19:55 | 2:19:56 | |
the umbilical cord is thrown away,
and along with it a vital source | 2:19:56 | 2:20:00 | |
of blood stem cells. | 2:20:00 | 2:20:00 | |
This blood can be a lifeline
for people with genetic disorders | 2:20:00 | 2:20:03 | |
and cancers like Leukaemia,
but there's been a steady decline | 2:20:03 | 2:20:06 | |
in donations since 2014. | 2:20:06 | 2:20:07 | |
Steph's been finding out more. | 2:20:07 | 2:20:12 | |
Now, when it comes to having a baby,
donating the placenta is probably | 2:20:12 | 2:20:19 | |
not something you'll
have given much thought. | 2:20:19 | 2:20:21 | |
But it is exactly what actress
and my mate Kellie Shirley did. | 2:20:21 | 2:20:24 | |
So why did you decide
to donate cord blood? | 2:20:24 | 2:20:32 | |
I found out that lots of places
end up just chucking | 2:20:32 | 2:20:34 | |
the cord blood away. | 2:20:34 | 2:20:36 | |
And these people actually
keep the cord blood, | 2:20:36 | 2:20:37 | |
and they can harvest it for stem
cells for use with blood cancer. | 2:20:37 | 2:20:42 | |
So I had a boy and a girl,
and two placentas, | 2:20:42 | 2:20:44 | |
and we think that Louie was a match
for somebody, which was | 2:20:44 | 2:20:47 | |
really, really amazing. | 2:20:47 | 2:20:51 | |
He's a little legend,
Louie, and Pearl is. | 2:20:51 | 2:20:54 | |
Only ten hospitals in the UK,
like this one, have a dedicated team | 2:20:54 | 2:20:57 | |
of cord collectors like Zoe,
who is on hand to | 2:20:57 | 2:21:00 | |
help mothers donate. | 2:21:00 | 2:21:02 | |
So Zoe, this is where you collect
the cord, isn't it? | 2:21:02 | 2:21:05 | |
It is a bit much to show on telly,
but explain what happens. | 2:21:05 | 2:21:08 | |
So once we have got the placenta,
we bring the placenta up | 2:21:08 | 2:21:11 | |
here and carry out a collection. | 2:21:11 | 2:21:15 | |
We insert the needle
into the cord and drain as much | 2:21:15 | 2:21:18 | |
blood from the placenta. | 2:21:18 | 2:21:21 | |
The placenta is rich in stem cells,
so the blood that we do collect | 2:21:21 | 2:21:24 | |
from it can be used to transplant. | 2:21:24 | 2:21:26 | |
So if you don't collect
these placentas, they | 2:21:26 | 2:21:28 | |
just get chucked away? | 2:21:28 | 2:21:29 | |
It does, it only gets
thrown in the bin. | 2:21:29 | 2:21:32 | |
So we have a cord collection
from what we have just collected. | 2:21:32 | 2:21:34 | |
That is the blood we had just
collected, and that is the blood | 2:21:34 | 2:21:38 | |
we take from the placenta. | 2:21:38 | 2:21:40 | |
So it it has literally just come
from the woman's body. | 2:21:40 | 2:21:43 | |
It has. | 2:21:43 | 2:21:44 | |
So what happens now? | 2:21:44 | 2:21:49 | |
It gets tested to see
if there is enough stem cells in, | 2:21:49 | 2:21:51 | |
and once that is done,
we determine if it's good | 2:21:51 | 2:21:54 | |
enough for translate. | 2:21:54 | 2:21:56 | |
Of course, it is a decision every
family has to make for themselves. | 2:21:56 | 2:21:58 | |
We popped in to see Sophie just
before her Caesarean, | 2:21:58 | 2:22:00 | |
to ask why she is going to donate. | 2:22:00 | 2:22:03 | |
So with my first, I didn't
even know about it. | 2:22:03 | 2:22:06 | |
I didn't see any posters
and wasn't told about it. | 2:22:06 | 2:22:08 | |
And then with the second,
the midwife mentioned it at one | 2:22:08 | 2:22:12 | |
of my community midwife chats,
and then a lot of my | 2:22:12 | 2:22:16 | |
friends who were pregnant
in Sunderland were like, | 2:22:16 | 2:22:18 | |
oh, that is amazing,
how have you done that? | 2:22:18 | 2:22:21 | |
And we want to do it,
but then they couldn't, | 2:22:21 | 2:22:23 | |
because they don't do it
in Newcastle or Sunderland. | 2:22:23 | 2:22:25 | |
It is a no-brainer for me. | 2:22:25 | 2:22:28 | |
It's something I keep
saying, as well. | 2:22:28 | 2:22:30 | |
It's become a catchphrase. | 2:22:30 | 2:22:31 | |
It's a no-brainer. | 2:22:31 | 2:22:32 | |
Yes, totally. | 2:22:32 | 2:22:34 | |
But having dedicated collectors
on call 24/7 is costly. | 2:22:34 | 2:22:37 | |
NHS Blood and Transplant say
they deliberately target hospitals | 2:22:37 | 2:22:41 | |
and communities that often struggle
to find a stem cell match. | 2:22:41 | 2:22:47 | |
Look, just a couple of hours
after we left, Sonny arrived, | 2:22:47 | 2:22:50 | |
and before he had opened his little
eyes, he had already done | 2:22:50 | 2:22:52 | |
something good in the world. | 2:22:52 | 2:22:54 | |
Now, that is worth screaming about. | 2:22:54 | 2:23:02 | |
Right on cue. | 2:23:03 | 2:23:05 | |
You're watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 2:23:05 | 2:23:06 | |
Time now for a look
at the newspapers. | 2:23:06 | 2:23:11 | |
Professor Cary Cooper
from the University of Manchester | 2:23:11 | 2:23:13 | |
is here to tell us what's
caught his eye. | 2:23:13 | 2:23:15 | |
Good morning. Good morning. What do
you make of this, Donald Trump, this | 2:23:15 | 2:23:23 | |
is good for the world, this North
Korea meeting? The Nobel Peace Prize | 2:23:23 | 2:23:28 | |
in the end. I have to look at this,
it is all over every newspaper. What | 2:23:28 | 2:23:33 | |
I liked about this story was the
fact that they showed their dialogue | 2:23:33 | 2:23:37 | |
between the two of them over the
past couple of years, wonderful. In | 2:23:37 | 2:23:45 | |
January 2018, Kim Jong-un said, it
is a reality I have a nuclear button | 2:23:45 | 2:23:49 | |
on my desk, and Trump response was,
I also have a nuclear button but it | 2:23:49 | 2:23:56 | |
is bigger and main works. | 2:23:56 | 2:24:07 | |
It goes on. It is amazing. It is
going to be a soap opera. Everyone | 2:24:10 | 2:24:13 | |
thinks it is a joke but in a way it
is healthy for us regardless of the | 2:24:13 | 2:24:17 | |
motives. They want to take away from
their own internal problems. They | 2:24:17 | 2:24:19 | |
both have internal problems to a
large extent and I think Trump sees | 2:24:19 | 2:24:21 | |
this as a peace process. He says, if
I am robust and I confront people, | 2:24:21 | 2:24:24 | |
it delivers. You all think I am an
idiot, too aggressive, but he will | 2:24:24 | 2:24:28 | |
use that as an excuse. Ultimately,
as always with these things, if it | 2:24:28 | 2:24:36 | |
works, then the motivation or
whatever, it becomes relevant. | 2:24:36 | 2:24:40 | |
Exactly. Does the world need to
unpredictable people getting at each | 2:24:40 | 2:24:46 | |
other? It does not need this and if
this works, I do not care what their | 2:24:46 | 2:24:51 | |
motives are, I am happy for my
grandkids and my kids. At the bottom | 2:24:51 | 2:24:56 | |
there is also the story about the PR
coup. To do with where there are | 2:24:56 | 2:25:02 | |
going to hold it. That will be
funny. Will they do it on a vessel? | 2:25:02 | 2:25:06 | |
Where are they going to hold peace
talks? They cannot do it in each of | 2:25:06 | 2:25:12 | |
the respective countries where will
they hold it? It will be | 2:25:12 | 2:25:15 | |
interesting. I think that will take
three or four months to sort out. | 2:25:15 | 2:25:19 | |
They have not got long. We will
leave aside the picture of this cute | 2:25:19 | 2:25:25 | |
dog. This story is from social
media. The government is saying kids | 2:25:25 | 2:25:31 | |
are on social media too much. 12-15
-year-olds spend 12-15 hours a week | 2:25:31 | 2:25:38 | |
on social media. Three quarters of
ten-year-olds are on one form of | 2:25:38 | 2:25:43 | |
social media or another. The point I
wanted to make about this, maybe we | 2:25:43 | 2:25:48 | |
should control it, but how about the
parents? Think about us, on Twitter, | 2:25:48 | 2:25:54 | |
doing e-mail on a Friday night, on a
Sunday, on Saturday, when we are on | 2:25:54 | 2:26:01 | |
holiday. We do social media, they
are modelling the behaviour. They | 2:26:01 | 2:26:07 | |
are going to introduce laws saying
you cannot have a social media count | 2:26:07 | 2:26:12 | |
if you're under 13. If someone were
to assess your time spent on social | 2:26:12 | 2:26:16 | |
media, would it be uncomfortable for
you? Very uncomfortable, | 2:26:16 | 2:26:21 | |
particularly when I open my mouth
about it. In the workplace I think | 2:26:21 | 2:26:24 | |
it is a big problem for us. From a
personal perspective, what would you | 2:26:24 | 2:26:28 | |
need to be told to reduce your on
Twitter. Or even e-mails? What is | 2:26:28 | 2:26:35 | |
happening in the workplace, I am an
organisational psychologist, | 2:26:35 | 2:26:41 | |
companies are blocking
people'se-mails after five o'clock. | 2:26:41 | 2:26:45 | |
They do this in Germany. And France
as well. | 2:26:45 | 2:26:54 | |
as well. France has a lot, it says
that no manager from shop floor to | 2:26:54 | 2:26:57 | |
top floor can send an e-mail to
their subordinates out of office | 2:26:57 | 2:26:59 | |
hours. Totally unenforceable, but it
is sending a message. We need to | 2:26:59 | 2:27:01 | |
control ourselves in this space.
Yes, the kids, but we are modelling | 2:27:01 | 2:27:07 | |
this behaviour. Unless we change, we
are not doing very much good for | 2:27:07 | 2:27:10 | |
them. From today, are you going to
change? Probably a bit, but not a | 2:27:10 | 2:27:17 | |
lot. | 2:27:17 | 2:27:24 | |
lot. It is hard. It is already talk
about it. I have kids at are older | 2:27:24 | 2:27:27 | |
and they say, you should not be
doing e-mail when you're with your | 2:27:27 | 2:27:30 | |
grandchildren. Weight is the harm? I
will tell you what the Hamas, you're | 2:27:30 | 2:27:33 | |
going out with your family dinner on
a Friday night, and I go to dinner | 2:27:33 | 2:27:36 | |
where I live, and I see people
looking, a family of four Michael, | 2:27:36 | 2:27:41 | |
looking at the knees. The kids are
texturing and the parents are | 2:27:41 | 2:27:44 | |
looking at the e-mails. It is not
healthy for our interactions. This | 2:27:44 | 2:27:53 | |
is a story about the White House.
The possibility of a TV series. What | 2:27:53 | 2:27:56 | |
is this? For Netflix, Azeris is that
it is purported they will be paid | 2:27:56 | 2:28:03 | |
500 million to date. A documentary?
We do not know, they are not seeing. | 2:28:03 | 2:28:10 | |
We think it is a documentary because
his chief adviser says, we have | 2:28:10 | 2:28:13 | |
always believed in the power of
storytelling to inspire. Throughout | 2:28:13 | 2:28:16 | |
their lives, the Obamas have
inspired people... It is going to be | 2:28:16 | 2:28:22 | |
something like that, probably a
documentary. I love this man. I am | 2:28:22 | 2:28:29 | |
worried. I do not want to see his
reputation damaged. Think about Bill | 2:28:29 | 2:28:34 | |
Clinton, Tony Blair, people who've
gone to give big speeches. All those | 2:28:34 | 2:28:39 | |
people have put their money in
foundations but it is the image it | 2:28:39 | 2:28:42 | |
portrays to the public. This man is
such an icon. I hope there is no | 2:28:42 | 2:28:48 | |
real damage. This is a lovely story
to finish. A six-year-old boy who | 2:28:48 | 2:28:53 | |
estimated stem cells. A boy has
donated to his brother, he is four. | 2:28:53 | 2:28:58 | |
He has leukaemia. This is so
uplifting. We have such a lot of | 2:28:58 | 2:29:05 | |
negatives around, this is uplifting.
What I really like, he even shaved | 2:29:05 | 2:29:10 | |
his head in sympathy with his
brother to raise money for the royal | 2:29:10 | 2:29:13 | |
Marsden. On that rather uplifting
note, we will leave it for now. You | 2:29:13 | 2:29:20 | |
will be back in an hour's time. I
will indeed. The headlines are | 2:29:20 | 2:29:26 | |
coming up. We'll see you soon. | 2:29:26 | 2:29:28 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 2:30:27 | 2:30:29 | |
Coming up before 9:00am,
Louise will have | 2:30:29 | 2:30:31 | |
the weekend's weather for you. | 2:30:31 | 2:30:33 | |
But first, a summary of this
morning's main news. | 2:30:33 | 2:30:37 | |
The Home Secretary will chair
a second meeting of the government's | 2:30:37 | 2:30:40 | |
emergency Cobra committee today,
as investigations continue | 2:30:40 | 2:30:41 | |
into the poisoning of
a former Russian spy. | 2:30:41 | 2:30:45 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia are both in a serious | 2:30:45 | 2:30:48 | |
condition in hospital in Salisbury
after being exposed | 2:30:48 | 2:30:51 | |
to a nerve agent. | 2:30:51 | 2:30:53 | |
Specialist troops trained
in chemical warfare have been | 2:30:53 | 2:30:55 | |
deployed to the city. | 2:30:55 | 2:30:58 | |
The grave of Mr Skripal's wife,
who was buried in 2012, | 2:30:58 | 2:31:02 | |
and the memorial stone of his son,
who was cremated last year, | 2:31:02 | 2:31:05 | |
have been cordoned off. | 2:31:05 | 2:31:08 | |
President Trump has tweeted that
a deal with North Korea is "very | 2:31:08 | 2:31:11 | |
much in the making",
which he said would be | 2:31:11 | 2:31:13 | |
very good for the world. | 2:31:13 | 2:31:15 | |
The White House says he won't meet
Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang | 2:31:15 | 2:31:18 | |
takes concrete steps
to end its nuclear programme. | 2:31:18 | 2:31:21 | |
No sitting US president has ever met
a leader from North Korea before. | 2:31:21 | 2:31:24 | |
An 85-year-old man has died
while waiting in an Accident | 2:31:24 | 2:31:28 | |
and Emergency unit because of
"dangerous overcrowding", | 2:31:28 | 2:31:31 | |
according to a hospital boss. | 2:31:31 | 2:31:33 | |
The man suffered a cardiac arrest
while waiting to see a senior | 2:31:33 | 2:31:36 | |
consultant at Northampton General
Hospital. | 2:31:36 | 2:31:40 | |
A leaked email from the trust's
medical director describes his death | 2:31:40 | 2:31:43 | |
as "due entirely to dangerous
overcrowding in the department". | 2:31:43 | 2:31:50 | |
In a statement, the hospital
said the long wait for | 2:31:50 | 2:31:52 | |
treatment was unacceptable. | 2:31:52 | 2:31:53 | |
The National Rifle Association has
mounted a legal challenge to new gun | 2:31:53 | 2:31:56 | |
control measures in Florida drawn up
in the wake of a school shooting | 2:31:56 | 2:31:59 | |
last month which left
17 people dead. | 2:31:59 | 2:32:01 | |
It says the new law,
which will raise the legal age | 2:32:01 | 2:32:06 | |
to purchase firearms,
but also allows the training | 2:32:06 | 2:32:08 | |
and arming of school
staff, is unconstitutional. | 2:32:08 | 2:32:11 | |
Teachers in England could see
their workloads cut, | 2:32:11 | 2:32:13 | |
under proposals being set out
today by the Education | 2:32:13 | 2:32:18 | |
under proposals being set out today
by the Education Secretary. | 2:32:18 | 2:32:21 | |
He will tell a headteachers'
conference in Birmingham that long | 2:32:21 | 2:32:23 | |
working hours and too much red tape
are becoming a barrier to recruiting | 2:32:23 | 2:32:26 | |
and retaining staff. | 2:32:26 | 2:32:29 | |
We are all part of the problem. So
you are part of the problem? Yes, | 2:32:29 | 2:32:34 | |
but we have been for a couple of
years, more than a couple of years, | 2:32:34 | 2:32:37 | |
and are continuing to do everything
we can to defuse. The important | 2:32:37 | 2:32:41 | |
message from us is that if you are
running a good school, if every week | 2:32:41 | 2:32:46 | |
things are going well, and you let
Ofsted see the school as it actually | 2:32:46 | 2:32:50 | |
runs normally, then the inspection
outcome will be good. | 2:32:50 | 2:32:57 | |
Somebody has lost their job... It's
not someone, it's it. | 2:32:57 | 2:33:05 | |
He's been in the job just one day -
but Flippy the Robot isn't up to it | 2:33:05 | 2:33:09 | |
and has already been replaced
by human resources. | 2:33:09 | 2:33:11 | |
The burger-flipping arm had
been serving customers | 2:33:11 | 2:33:13 | |
at a restaurant in California,
as the owners attempt | 2:33:13 | 2:33:17 | |
to replace human cooks. | 2:33:17 | 2:33:21 | |
But he's out already. | 2:33:21 | 2:33:24 | |
Because he was just too
slow and couldn't turn | 2:33:24 | 2:33:26 | |
the burgers quickly enough. | 2:33:26 | 2:33:28 | |
He's just dawdling. What we learn
with that is that a robot can flip | 2:33:28 | 2:33:36 | |
burgers but can't put cheese on
them. Let's add it to the list of | 2:33:36 | 2:33:40 | |
things robots can't do. Small flaps
of cheese are quite flimsy to be | 2:33:40 | 2:33:46 | |
fair. If it's the first day on the
job it can take time to learn. If | 2:33:46 | 2:33:50 | |
robots can do tiny minute
movements... At least the burgers | 2:33:50 | 2:33:56 | |
didn't end up up the wall. Is that
what happens when you flip burgers? | 2:33:56 | 2:34:01 | |
All the time! | 2:34:01 | 2:34:07 | |
Millie Knight and Brett Wild are
world champions in downhill skiing | 2:34:07 | 2:34:10 | |
but just over a year ago she
suffered a serious concussion. I | 2:34:10 | 2:34:15 | |
spoke to her in the Alps and she
said she didn't even know how long | 2:34:15 | 2:34:19 | |
she would be out for whether we
would see her at the Winter Olympics | 2:34:19 | 2:34:23 | |
in Pyeongchang. A great start for
Team GB's mission to try to get | 2:34:23 | 2:34:31 | |
seven medals. | 2:34:31 | 2:34:32 | |
It could be the start of a medal
rush, not just for Britain, | 2:34:32 | 2:34:35 | |
but for Millie Knight and her guide
Brett Wild, because they still have | 2:34:35 | 2:34:38 | |
four events to compete in. | 2:34:38 | 2:34:40 | |
Our reporter Kate Gray
is in Pyeongchang and earlier spoke | 2:34:40 | 2:34:42 | |
to Britain's first medallists,
and Kate, tell us why this | 2:34:42 | 2:34:45 | |
is such an important medal
for Millie and Brett. | 2:34:45 | 2:34:51 | |
This really is the important medal
that Millie Knight and Brett Wild | 2:34:52 | 2:34:56 | |
wanted from these games. It's the
eventually as world champion in. As | 2:34:56 | 2:35:00 | |
you said, she has had a tough year
overcoming concussion and the fears | 2:35:00 | 2:35:04 | |
that come with getting back on the
skis. What you went to the top of | 2:35:04 | 2:35:08 | |
the soap today she was feeling ready
to go. It was a really tough | 2:35:08 | 2:35:12 | |
downhill slope. Her team-mate and
her guide had wiped out earlier in | 2:35:12 | 2:35:19 | |
the event. She had to knuckle down
and focus on getting down the slope. | 2:35:19 | 2:35:23 | |
Luckily guided by Brett Wild, they
got down the slope safely, winning | 2:35:23 | 2:35:28 | |
the silver medal, the first medal
for Great Britain at these games. | 2:35:28 | 2:35:32 | |
Clearly over the moon. I caught up
with them just before they went to | 2:35:32 | 2:35:35 | |
pick up their medals. It's
absolutely fantastic. This time last | 2:35:35 | 2:35:42 | |
year I sustained quite a severe
concussion on this slope where I | 2:35:42 | 2:35:47 | |
crashed into the finish line. To
cross the line today as Paralympic | 2:35:47 | 2:35:51 | |
silver medallists is amazing. Were
you nervous at the start, was it | 2:35:51 | 2:35:55 | |
going through your mind? I certainly
was nervous, but I guess that means | 2:35:55 | 2:35:58 | |
I cared about it. The moment I
pushed out of the start gate, all | 2:35:58 | 2:36:03 | |
the nerves went. Brett, you are
guiding her down the mountain. It | 2:36:03 | 2:36:07 | |
wasn't an especially easy downhill
with incidents with other athletes. | 2:36:07 | 2:36:11 | |
It was a challenging downhill. The
terrain, there was no popular points | 2:36:11 | 2:36:17 | |
to race. The conditions were
challenging. But we had a game plan | 2:36:17 | 2:36:19 | |
and we stuck to it and we are
pleased to be back in the mix, a | 2:36:19 | 2:36:23 | |
great start to the Paralympics. Is
this like disappointed wasn't gold | 2:36:23 | 2:36:27 | |
this time? Definitely not. With the
season we have had, it's been quite | 2:36:27 | 2:36:32 | |
a frustrating season. We haven't got
the results we wanted and coming | 2:36:32 | 2:36:36 | |
back from concussion was really
tough. This is the highest result we | 2:36:36 | 2:36:40 | |
have had all season. For it to come
out of the Paralympic games is | 2:36:40 | 2:36:43 | |
wonderful. A great result for Millie
Knight, who will be back in action | 2:36:43 | 2:36:49 | |
tomorrow in the super G along with
her team-mates Mena Fitzpatrick and | 2:36:49 | 2:36:54 | |
Kelly Gallagher. There has been a
brilliant wheelchair curling match | 2:36:54 | 2:36:59 | |
unfolding in Pyeongchang with Great
Britain up against world champions | 2:36:59 | 2:37:02 | |
Norway. It was just over an hour
match. Great Britain took the lead | 2:37:02 | 2:37:06 | |
from the very beginning and managed
to hold off the world champions. But | 2:37:06 | 2:37:10 | |
it came down to the final stone.
Norway had to pass the stone down | 2:37:10 | 2:37:16 | |
the ice and knocked out three of the
great British stones. But it wasn't | 2:37:16 | 2:37:20 | |
quite possible. Great Britain
managed to win that round 5-2, a | 2:37:20 | 2:37:26 | |
great result and a great way to
start their Paralympic campaign. | 2:37:26 | 2:37:29 | |
They will hope to continue that
success, and they will be in action | 2:37:29 | 2:37:33 | |
again tomorrow. Lots to look forward
to in Pyeongchang. What a start for | 2:37:33 | 2:37:37 | |
Paralympics Team GB on the first day
of proper competition in | 2:37:37 | 2:37:41 | |
Pyeongchang. The other place to be
today is Dublin. | 2:37:41 | 2:37:47 | |
It's the penultimate
weekend of the Six Nations. | 2:37:47 | 2:37:50 | |
In Paris, England will play France
and in Dublin, Scotland | 2:37:50 | 2:37:53 | |
will play Ireland. | 2:37:53 | 2:37:54 | |
John Watson is at the city's
Aviva Stadium this morning. | 2:37:54 | 2:37:56 | |
And John, there's every chance
there could be some party | 2:37:56 | 2:37:59 | |
there in Dublin tonight. | 2:37:59 | 2:38:01 | |
Couldn't there just. It will be an
incredible weekend here. If Ireland | 2:38:01 | 2:38:07 | |
beat Scotland at the Aviva Stadium
later, and England could potentially | 2:38:07 | 2:38:12 | |
lose to France in Paris, that would
see Ireland wrap up a third six | 2:38:12 | 2:38:16 | |
Nations title in five years, party
time here if that happens. Who would | 2:38:16 | 2:38:21 | |
anticipate we would find ourselves
in this position on the penultimate | 2:38:21 | 2:38:25 | |
weekend of the six Nations
championship. A lot of the | 2:38:25 | 2:38:28 | |
tournament predictions expecting
Ireland and England to win all their | 2:38:28 | 2:38:31 | |
match to set up a potential title
Grand Slam decider in the last match | 2:38:31 | 2:38:37 | |
of the tournament with Ireland
travelling to Twickenham to play | 2:38:37 | 2:38:40 | |
England next week. But Scotland blew
that apart with incredible | 2:38:40 | 2:38:43 | |
performance against England in the
Calcutta Cup two weeks ago. They | 2:38:43 | 2:38:46 | |
were too good for England, and that
keeps Scotland's chances alive of | 2:38:46 | 2:38:51 | |
winning this year's tournament.
Scotland have been very impressive, | 2:38:51 | 2:38:55 | |
we saw that against England. Today
they have to win away from home, | 2:38:55 | 2:38:58 | |
which it's fair to say they have
found difficult in the six Nations. | 2:38:58 | 2:39:02 | |
Away from Rome, where Italy play,
the perennial whipping boys in the | 2:39:02 | 2:39:07 | |
six Nations. Scotland have struggled
to win away, only winning twice in | 2:39:07 | 2:39:11 | |
the six Nations. They will be
boosted by the fact the last win | 2:39:11 | 2:39:15 | |
came in Dublin eight years ago. But
they need Finn Russell and that the | 2:39:15 | 2:39:19 | |
players to turn it on later. Ireland
have an incredible record at home, | 2:39:19 | 2:39:24 | |
they haven't lost on the Joe Schmidt
in the six Nations here. England, | 2:39:24 | 2:39:29 | |
it's interesting to see how it will
play out in France later. They have | 2:39:29 | 2:39:32 | |
Dylan Hartley missing, a notable
absentee, so Owen Farrell will | 2:39:32 | 2:39:38 | |
deputise as captain in his absence.
England have to match whatever | 2:39:38 | 2:39:41 | |
Ireland produce here to take it to
the final weekend at Twickenham next | 2:39:41 | 2:39:45 | |
weekend. It's worth pointing out,
you talk about a party atmosphere. | 2:39:45 | 2:39:50 | |
Let's speculate Ireland when he
later and England lose in France, | 2:39:50 | 2:39:54 | |
Ireland with then travel to
Twickenham next weekend chasing a | 2:39:54 | 2:39:58 | |
potential grand slam, they could win
all their matches, and if they beat | 2:39:58 | 2:40:01 | |
England on Saint Patrick's Whee Kim,
then it really will be party time. | 2:40:01 | 2:40:07 | |
So many permutations. Thanks John.
It's all about the bonus points, | 2:40:07 | 2:40:12 | |
England will have to go to France
score four tries today, they will | 2:40:12 | 2:40:16 | |
know what they have to after kicking
off after the Ireland and Scotland | 2:40:16 | 2:40:22 | |
match has finished. A bit of trivia,
Mathieu Bastareaud, the France | 2:40:22 | 2:40:31 | |
centre, the heaviest man on the
pitch at 20 stone. In the days when | 2:40:31 | 2:40:37 | |
the backs used to be lighter, the
heaviest man on the pitch, he lives | 2:40:37 | 2:40:40 | |
and plays in Toulon. He hasn't got a
driving licence but has a little 50 | 2:40:40 | 2:40:47 | |
cc motorbike. He lives at the top of
the hill. He can barely get up the | 2:40:47 | 2:40:57 | |
hill, this gigantic man on his
little mopeds. It's like that famous | 2:40:57 | 2:41:01 | |
bread out adverts, running up the
hill. | 2:41:01 | 2:41:10 | |
Good morning Dan Walker. I'm sure
this man eats very healthily. He | 2:41:12 | 2:41:16 | |
certainly eats a lot. But he is an
athlete. We need to see a picture of | 2:41:16 | 2:41:23 | |
him. Dan, a huge day today in terms
of the race for second place. | 2:41:23 | 2:41:31 | |
Manchester City have the Premier
League title sewn up, but it's | 2:41:31 | 2:41:34 | |
Manchester United taking on
Liverpool, second against third with | 2:41:34 | 2:41:37 | |
two points separating the sides. We
have Chris Smalling on the show | 2:41:37 | 2:41:41 | |
today. He scored in the comeback
against Christabel Palace last week. | 2:41:41 | 2:41:45 | |
He was talking about mentality from
the Manchester United point of view. | 2:41:45 | 2:41:48 | |
Danny Welbeck is on the programme, a
strange season for Arsenal. They | 2:41:48 | 2:41:56 | |
lost against Manchester city twice
and against Brighton, but won | 2:41:56 | 2:42:01 | |
against AC Milan. And Brighton is
another focus, Chris Hughton is | 2:42:01 | 2:42:05 | |
manager of the month. And Ryan
Bertrand, the potential first choice | 2:42:05 | 2:42:11 | |
left back for England this summer,
playing for Southampton, who are in | 2:42:11 | 2:42:18 | |
a spot of bother. You don't expect a
footballer to speak like this, but | 2:42:18 | 2:42:21 | |
he talks about going back to the
site at Grenfell Tower, spending | 2:42:21 | 2:42:25 | |
time in the community and try to
help people there. | 2:42:25 | 2:42:30 | |
It just resonated with me. I grew up
in tower blocks, the same. I still | 2:42:30 | 2:42:35 | |
have friends and family there, in
those situations. I didn't | 2:42:35 | 2:42:39 | |
understand the logistics of how this
would happen and the resistance it | 2:42:39 | 2:42:43 | |
seemed the residents and the
residents' families were receiving, | 2:42:43 | 2:42:46 | |
the lack of compassion to get it
fixed as soon as possible. It seemed | 2:42:46 | 2:42:50 | |
as if there was too much red tape,
these are humans here. They have | 2:42:50 | 2:42:56 | |
lost their lives, lost loved ones
and lost their homes. Ryan Bertrand | 2:42:56 | 2:43:00 | |
really feels that hard. You can see
how he explains that situation. You | 2:43:00 | 2:43:09 | |
expect is sometimes footballers to
talk in a certain way but he really | 2:43:09 | 2:43:12 | |
broadens out the discussion. We
talked about the SheBelieves Cup, | 2:43:12 | 2:43:17 | |
England losing to the USA in the
end, but Phil Neville reflected on | 2:43:17 | 2:43:20 | |
it, and we will look in more detail
at the World Cup qualifying | 2:43:20 | 2:43:25 | |
campaign. And Plymouth, 325 miles
from Plymouth to Fleetwood, a proper | 2:43:25 | 2:43:29 | |
old strip today. Carlyle is the
furthest probably. -- a proper old | 2:43:29 | 2:43:34 | |
trip today. In League 1 in December
they were bottom of the lead and now | 2:43:34 | 2:43:42 | |
they are in the play-offs. Mark
Clemmit has been to speak to them. | 2:43:42 | 2:43:45 | |
Is it all about garnish pasties? --
Cornish pasties? We will have Mark | 2:43:45 | 2:43:54 | |
Lawrenson and is Jermaine Jenas on
the programme as well. Is that a | 2:43:54 | 2:43:59 | |
cardigan or a jacket? It's a
cardigan. I saw Charlie's eyebrows | 2:43:59 | 2:44:05 | |
perk. I was trying to counter the
buttons. I got to about 12 and | 2:44:05 | 2:44:09 | |
stopped. Sometimes they're fake
buttons on these things. But there | 2:44:09 | 2:44:15 | |
are eight, and you have to do them
all up. It took an hour to get into | 2:44:15 | 2:44:18 | |
this this morning. It's a rare
cardigan. It's a bit like a corset. | 2:44:18 | 2:44:24 | |
There is quite a lot to hold in. | 2:44:24 | 2:44:26 | |
In the Scottish Premiership,
we have Rangers against Celtic | 2:44:33 | 2:44:35 | |
in the Old Firm derby tomorrow. | 2:44:35 | 2:44:37 | |
Last night, Hibernian
moved 12 points clear | 2:44:37 | 2:44:38 | |
of neighbours Hearts
with a 2-0 win at Easter Road. | 2:44:38 | 2:44:41 | |
Hibs are now just a point behind
third-placed Aberdeen. | 2:44:41 | 2:44:49 | |
Now in the last few hours,
victory for England's cricketers. | 2:44:50 | 2:44:58 | |
England clinching their sixth
successive win in one-day cricket. | 2:44:59 | 2:45:02 | |
They will have the Test series soon.
Looking good for the one-day World | 2:45:02 | 2:45:06 | |
Cup in England. | 2:45:06 | 2:45:11 | |
Millions of people who have been
automatically put into their company | 2:45:11 | 2:45:14 | |
pension scheme could find their pay
goes down next month. | 2:45:14 | 2:45:16 | |
The government has decided
that the contributions that are paid | 2:45:16 | 2:45:21 | |
into these workplace pension schemes
will rise steeply in April, | 2:45:21 | 2:45:24 | |
which could leave people
with less take home pay. | 2:45:24 | 2:45:26 | |
Paul Lewis from Radio 4's Money Box
is in our London studio. | 2:45:26 | 2:45:31 | |
Good morning. Do you want to outline
what the problem is? If it is a | 2:45:31 | 2:45:37 | |
problem, I suppose that is the
question. People have been | 2:45:37 | 2:45:40 | |
automatically enrolled into a
pension scheme throughout the UK, | 2:45:40 | 2:45:44 | |
every employer has to offer on the
contributions going on | 2:45:44 | 2:45:47 | |
automatically, from the employee and
their boss. From April, those | 2:45:47 | 2:45:52 | |
contributions will automatically go
up. The individual's contribution | 2:45:52 | 2:45:56 | |
will travel from 1% of their pay to
the present. | 2:45:56 | 2:46:08 | |
the present. Just to give you an
example, somebody on £385 a week, | 2:46:08 | 2:46:10 | |
they will find they are paying an
extra | 2:46:10 | 2:46:16 | |
extra £4 23 each week into their
pension. Their take-home pay will go | 2:46:20 | 2:46:23 | |
down. Whether it is a problem, but
people will notice it, and they | 2:46:23 | 2:46:25 | |
should be prepared for it if they
are one of the 9 million | 2:46:25 | 2:46:28 | |
automatically enrolled people. You
do not have a choice in this? It is | 2:46:28 | 2:46:31 | |
something that will happen and you
will get less money when it comes to | 2:46:31 | 2:46:34 | |
your payday? | 2:46:34 | 2:46:44 | |
Yes, you do not have a choice,
except anyone can opt out of the | 2:46:48 | 2:46:51 | |
pension, but fortunately very few
people do. It is well under one in | 2:46:51 | 2:46:54 | |
ten, especially among younger
people. You cannot code if you want, | 2:46:54 | 2:46:56 | |
and that is the fear, that when
people see their pay going down they | 2:46:56 | 2:47:00 | |
will thing, I will get out of it,
but that is not the best thing to | 2:47:00 | 2:47:02 | |
do. You are paying more in, there is
a bigger tax subsidy going in, your | 2:47:02 | 2:47:05 | |
bosses is being boring, so have the
extra going incomes from other | 2:47:05 | 2:47:07 | |
people, so that means it is earning
more over the course of your | 2:47:07 | 2:47:11 | |
pension. Some companies are now
saying you should see it as a pay | 2:47:11 | 2:47:13 | |
rise, not a pay cut. Tax and
national insurance are also being | 2:47:13 | 2:47:16 | |
cut from April which will be an
extra £100 a year so that will | 2:47:16 | 2:47:23 | |
offset some of this. And some people
will have a pay rise which will | 2:47:23 | 2:47:25 | |
offset some of it. It is going to be
complicated but when people get that | 2:47:25 | 2:47:29 | |
first paid back in April, they have
got to think, we've is this money | 2:47:29 | 2:47:33 | |
going? Some more of it will be going
into their pension. I know you have | 2:47:33 | 2:47:38 | |
talked about this so much over the
years, about how important it is to | 2:47:38 | 2:47:43 | |
think hard about your pension. If
there is a danger this means people | 2:47:43 | 2:47:47 | |
are going, I do not want to pay that
much and they withdraw, that is a | 2:47:47 | 2:47:52 | |
problem? It would be a problem. Auto
enrolment has been a great success | 2:47:52 | 2:47:56 | |
because there are more than 9
million paying into a pensioner who | 2:47:56 | 2:47:59 | |
were not before. Even these
contributions are not going to be | 2:47:59 | 2:48:03 | |
enough. They are going up again next
April. | 2:48:03 | 2:48:15 | |
It is quite a campaign to have that
forces continued into the future. | 2:48:16 | 2:48:18 | |
People will be paying more. You
really need to be paying 18% of your | 2:48:18 | 2:48:21 | |
pay into a | 2:48:21 | 2:48:27 | |
pay into a pension to get anything
that you can call a decent pension | 2:48:30 | 2:48:33 | |
and retirement. Much of our most of
that 15 or 18% should come from your | 2:48:33 | 2:48:36 | |
boss. There is a tax subsidy, so it
is not all coming from you. That is | 2:48:36 | 2:48:39 | |
why leaving the scheme is a bad
thing, because you're giving up the | 2:48:39 | 2:48:41 | |
money that your bosses putting into
your pension. In a way you can see | 2:48:41 | 2:48:45 | |
it like a pay cut but it will not
look like that on your April | 2:48:45 | 2:48:47 | |
payslip. Thank you very much. | 2:48:47 | 2:48:48 | |
You can here more on Money Box
on BBC Radio 4 just | 2:48:48 | 2:48:51 | |
after 12:00pm today. | 2:48:51 | 2:48:52 | |
You're watching
Breakfast from BBC News. | 2:48:52 | 2:48:54 | |
The main stories this morning:
180 troops have been | 2:48:54 | 2:48:56 | |
brought in to assist police
after the attempted murder | 2:48:56 | 2:48:58 | |
of a former Russian spy
and his daughter in Salisbury. | 2:48:58 | 2:49:02 | |
President Trump has reaffirmed that
a deal with North Korea is very much | 2:49:02 | 2:49:05 | |
in the making after agreeing to meet
Kim Jong-un. | 2:49:05 | 2:49:11 | |
Here's Louise with a look
at this morning's weather. | 2:49:11 | 2:49:17 | |
Rays | 2:49:17 | 2:49:18 | |
Rays of sunshine? Yes, I am trying
hard this morning. A week ago we | 2:49:18 | 2:49:25 | |
were talking about subzero
temperatures and snowdrifts. I have | 2:49:25 | 2:49:28 | |
managed to find you a ray of
sunshine in the south-east this | 2:49:28 | 2:49:32 | |
morning. It has been a beautiful
start to the day. The milder air | 2:49:32 | 2:49:36 | |
will affect the whole of the country
by the end of the day. We do have | 2:49:36 | 2:49:44 | |
some rain in the forecast. Not a
great start to the day in Hull. | 2:49:44 | 2:49:52 | |
Bad visibility and light rain. The
rain has been stretching from the | 2:50:00 | 2:50:02 | |
south through the night, but behind
the rain, it has brought Melbourne | 2:50:02 | 2:50:04 | |
air. The yellow denotes where the
male bear is sitting. It will push | 2:50:04 | 2:50:07 | |
steadily north into Scotland as rain
arrives. The rain will push into | 2:50:07 | 2:50:09 | |
Scotland through the afternoon and
behind it, there is a weather front | 2:50:09 | 2:50:12 | |
which brings more rain into the
south west. It is surely in nature, | 2:50:12 | 2:50:14 | |
which will allow some sunny spells
to come through. It is a wet start | 2:50:14 | 2:50:19 | |
to Northern Ireland. Eventually the
rain will push through the Borders | 2:50:19 | 2:50:23 | |
into central Scotland. Behind it,
sunny spells and scatter showers. | 2:50:23 | 2:50:36 | |
By the middle of the afternoon it
looks likely to be a wet story for | 2:50:37 | 2:50:41 | |
Scotland. Some snow on higher ground
but we are not too concerned as the | 2:50:41 | 2:50:43 | |
Melbourne air moves. But -- double
digits in Northern Ireland with the | 2:50:43 | 2:50:46 | |
rain. If the cloud breaks up and we
get lengthy spells of sunshine, | 2:50:46 | 2:50:49 | |
temperatures will respond. If we get
over 15.1, it will be the warmest | 2:50:49 | 2:50:53 | |
day of the years of Earth. Through
the night the rain continues to | 2:50:53 | 2:51:02 | |
drift north, and handed the winds
will become light. Clear skies and | 2:51:03 | 2:51:05 | |
fog forming with that moisture
around. It could be a murky start to | 2:51:05 | 2:51:08 | |
Mother's Day and the chilly start
with single figures in some places. | 2:51:08 | 2:51:13 | |
The fog will lift in the morning,
and as we go through the day, for | 2:51:13 | 2:51:17 | |
many, there will be dry weather. The
rain will linger in the Northern | 2:51:17 | 2:51:21 | |
Isles, but not a bad day for
Scotland in the north of England. | 2:51:21 | 2:51:26 | |
Showers in the south and they will
drift into Wales and the Midlands. | 2:51:26 | 2:51:30 | |
Some showers heavy and possibly
thundery, but widespread double | 2:51:30 | 2:51:33 | |
digits for all. We have not seen
temperatures of 10 degrees above | 2:51:33 | 2:51:38 | |
since the 20th of February in
Scotland. This picture was sent in | 2:51:38 | 2:51:43 | |
this morning, it was glorious last
night in Scotland for seeing the | 2:51:43 | 2:51:46 | |
Aurora for some. It looks as though
there could be the potential to see | 2:51:46 | 2:51:52 | |
it tonight, perhaps in the Northern
Isles and the north of Scotland. | 2:51:52 | 2:51:57 | |
That is what the green colour
denotes. Where it is bright yellow | 2:51:57 | 2:52:02 | |
you will have a better chance. I
suspect in the far north of Scotland | 2:52:02 | 2:52:05 | |
you | 2:52:05 | 2:52:06 | |
suspect in the far north of Scotland
you may get to see the Aurora | 2:52:06 | 2:52:07 | |
tonight.
Thank you. See you later. | 2:52:07 | 2:52:12 | |
From the latest exploits
of the Beatles in the 1960s, | 2:52:12 | 2:52:15 | |
through to punk, indie and Britpop,
NME magazine has been a must-read | 2:52:15 | 2:52:18 | |
for music fans for almost 70 years. | 2:52:18 | 2:52:20 | |
But yesterday saw the end of an era,
with the publication | 2:52:20 | 2:52:22 | |
of its final print edition. | 2:52:22 | 2:52:23 | |
Rising costs and falling
advertising mean it will only | 2:52:23 | 2:52:26 | |
be available online. | 2:52:26 | 2:52:27 | |
In a moment, we'll be discussing why
the magazine became so iconic, | 2:52:27 | 2:52:30 | |
but first, here's a look at some
of its front covers down the years. | 2:52:30 | 2:52:33 | |
MUSIC: Space Oddity by David Bowie. | 2:53:05 | 2:53:13 | |
MUSIC: Fools Gold
by The Stone Roses. | 2:53:17 | 2:53:24 | |
That was nice to look back on those.
A nice little musical interlude. I | 2:53:43 | 2:53:48 | |
was enjoying the Stone Roses. | 2:53:48 | 2:53:50 | |
Here with us now are musician
and journalist John Robb, | 2:53:50 | 2:53:52 | |
and the photographer Kevin Cummins,
who snapped a number | 2:53:52 | 2:53:54 | |
of NME front covers. | 2:53:54 | 2:53:56 | |
Thank you for joining us. What does
this mean? It is the end of an era | 2:53:56 | 2:54:02 | |
in a sense, but it is like all
media, it is just moving onto the | 2:54:02 | 2:54:11 | |
Internet, it is difficult for
magazines to survive. I say that as | 2:54:11 | 2:54:14 | |
someone who publishes a magazine. | 2:54:14 | 2:54:19 | |
I started with a website and
published a magazine back to front. | 2:54:29 | 2:54:32 | |
It started with a smaller modern --
smaller model. The NME is an | 2:54:32 | 2:54:34 | |
expensive operation. It is not the
end of music writing. People look at | 2:54:34 | 2:54:37 | |
the information on mobiles and
tablets. They had those problems. | 2:54:37 | 2:54:39 | |
There were some mistakes made
towards the end. It is funny culling | 2:54:39 | 2:54:42 | |
of the magazine, because two as it
was always a paper. I think of it as | 2:54:42 | 2:54:44 | |
a newspaper. The images come off on
your fingers. You talk about the old | 2:54:44 | 2:54:47 | |
days but I remember going to buy
five papers in the 70s, music | 2:54:47 | 2:54:53 | |
papers. Melody maker? Sounds, NME,
disk. Many -- not many people will | 2:54:53 | 2:55:01 | |
remember that. They gradually shut
down one by one. I remember the day | 2:55:01 | 2:55:07 | |
that Kallis sounds got shot down. It
was sad. Eventually it happened to | 2:55:07 | 2:55:12 | |
NME as well. It's staggered on for a
few more decades. One of the things | 2:55:12 | 2:55:18 | |
about the publication, you have the
benefit of that front page, | 2:55:18 | 2:55:22 | |
photograph, and some of yours will
run NME back in the day? Yes, the | 2:55:22 | 2:55:28 | |
thing with the music paper as well
is that it is really important to | 2:55:28 | 2:55:32 | |
build iconography. I do not think
you can do that without the printed | 2:55:32 | 2:55:37 | |
page. It is very different when
you're talking about pictures | 2:55:37 | 2:55:40 | |
online. | 2:55:40 | 2:55:45 | |
online. They are not permanent. You
do not put them on your bedroom | 2:55:45 | 2:55:48 | |
wall. Lots of people who bought the
music prize would pin those pictures | 2:55:48 | 2:55:53 | |
on their wall and live with them,
now they have just got Instagram | 2:55:53 | 2:55:57 | |
boards for their favourite pictures.
It is not the same. Is it time to | 2:55:57 | 2:56:03 | |
adapt? I do not know how it would
change, your job, in terms of how | 2:56:03 | 2:56:08 | |
you photograph, or what you
photographed, but that is the medium | 2:56:08 | 2:56:12 | |
that people are using, to be
visually stimulated, then you have | 2:56:12 | 2:56:15 | |
got to go with it, haven't you? To
agree but the paper should have | 2:56:15 | 2:56:21 | |
realigned itself in the marketplace.
A lot of people are used by the NME | 2:56:21 | 2:56:26 | |
would buy it for gig guides and
record reviews, things that are | 2:56:26 | 2:56:32 | |
easily available online. You just
have to change the way the magazine | 2:56:32 | 2:56:35 | |
looks. Maybe do more on the road
pieces, go on tour with bands. Take | 2:56:35 | 2:56:42 | |
it in a slightly different
direction. There is still a place | 2:56:42 | 2:56:47 | |
for printed media. If I am honest,
when I used by the NME, sometimes I | 2:56:47 | 2:56:52 | |
did not read it, I just thought...
You look at the pictures? It felt | 2:56:52 | 2:56:57 | |
like it was quite a cool thing to
make people think you were reading. | 2:56:57 | 2:57:01 | |
I have heard people say that. There
are some sad cases, probably you. | 2:57:01 | 2:57:08 | |
Having it in your pocket would make
you cool. There was a cool cachet to | 2:57:08 | 2:57:13 | |
it, but each music paper had its own
clump of fans, Sounds would have its | 2:57:13 | 2:57:19 | |
fans as well. I remember it being
good on post punk in the 70s and | 2:57:19 | 2:57:24 | |
then it became a metal paper. The
NME was for indie music. | 2:57:24 | 2:57:33 | |
NME was for indie music. It would be
your badge of coolness if you were | 2:57:34 | 2:57:36 | |
into indie music, sixth form, book
form, whatever. The writing was | 2:57:36 | 2:57:39 | |
really good. Kevin was talking about
photographs. The photography was | 2:57:39 | 2:57:42 | |
good. I disagree with Kevin
slightly. I like looking at | 2:57:42 | 2:57:47 | |
photographs online as well. Kevin's
photographs look fantastic on an | 2:57:47 | 2:57:52 | |
iPhone. Great photographs can
survive on a keg of media. We have | 2:57:52 | 2:57:56 | |
got some of your photographs, Kevin.
This is a shot of oasis. | 2:57:56 | 2:58:04 | |
That photograph was taken in
Manchester. We had to pretend we had | 2:58:10 | 2:58:14 | |
been to New York with the band
because they had already done, I had | 2:58:14 | 2:58:19 | |
shot them for Fox, the companion
magazine to the NME. The paper had | 2:58:19 | 2:58:26 | |
decided they wanted to trail it the
week before so they took one of the | 2:58:26 | 2:58:30 | |
pictures out of the session and
pretended we are done it in New | 2:58:30 | 2:58:34 | |
York. A picture of the two them
together would be worth quite a bit | 2:58:34 | 2:58:38 | |
now. The next one is the Stone
Roses. What is the last one? It is | 2:58:38 | 2:58:45 | |
Morrissey. Tell us about that
picture, with his back to the | 2:58:45 | 2:58:50 | |
camera. Yes, we put Morrissey on the
cover of the NME at any opportunity. | 2:58:50 | 2:58:58 | |
I just wanted to see him on a
Japanese tour. I suggested to | 2:58:58 | 2:59:02 | |
Morrissey that rather than do an
interview, which he did not feel he | 2:59:02 | 2:59:05 | |
had anything more to say, having
done about six already that year, I | 2:59:05 | 2:59:09 | |
said to him, why don't you write the
picture captions? I spent a week | 2:59:09 | 2:59:16 | |
with him in Japan, and sent him a
selection of pictures. I expected | 2:59:16 | 2:59:21 | |
him to send me a typed list of
captions on the road | 2:59:21 | 2:59:31 | |
captions on the road each one in
crayon and a need for sheet of paper | 2:59:33 | 2:59:35 | |
which was a really beautiful piece
of artwork, actually, and we ran | 2:59:35 | 2:59:38 | |
those on the pictures with the
feature. For some people it will | 2:59:38 | 2:59:41 | |
feel like we're being nostalgia.
Move on, things change. In a sense, | 2:59:41 | 2:59:42 | |
it is sad it has gone, people have
lost jobs. There is still a rock | 2:59:42 | 2:59:48 | |
weekly magazine, Karanka. Music
moves forward, it is about | 2:59:48 | 2:59:52 | |
technology, there is great writing
out there, great websites. There are | 2:59:52 | 2:59:58 | |
still good young writers out there
and good bands. Do we need to have | 2:59:58 | 3:00:02 | |
it in print? What about smash hits?
It is fantastic for covering what it | 3:00:02 | 3:00:08 | |
was covering. It was more about pop
music. Each thing represented its | 3:00:08 | 3:00:13 | |
own scene, the NME was covering
indie, smash hits were covering pop | 3:00:13 | 3:00:18 | |
music. It was a well written
magazines you have not upset me. | 3:00:18 | 3:00:22 | |
Lovely to see you. Thank you for
your time. The headlines in just a | 3:00:22 | 3:00:26 | |
moment. | 3:00:26 | 3:00:32 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 3:01:24 | 3:01:27 | |
The attempted murder of a former
Russian spy and his daughter. | 3:01:27 | 3:01:29 | |
The government will hold a second
emergency meeting today. | 3:01:29 | 3:01:33 | |
Nearly 200 military experts
in chemical warfare have been | 3:01:33 | 3:01:36 | |
deployed to help the investigation. | 3:01:36 | 3:01:43 | |
Good morning, it's
Saturday 10th March. | 3:01:53 | 3:01:55 | |
Also this morning... | 3:01:55 | 3:02:00 | |
A deal "very much in the making" -
President Trump strikes a positive | 3:02:00 | 3:02:03 | |
tone over a potential
meeting with Kim Jong-un, | 3:02:03 | 3:02:06 | |
but the White House says North Korea
must take "concrete steps" | 3:02:06 | 3:02:09 | |
before it can take place. | 3:02:09 | 3:02:12 | |
Tackling the recruitment crisis
in England's schools - | 3:02:12 | 3:02:15 | |
the Education secretary promises
to cut teachers' workloads. | 3:02:15 | 3:02:19 | |
In sport, a first medal for Britain
at the winter Paralympics. | 3:02:19 | 3:02:21 | |
And it's a silver for visually
impaired skier Millie Knight | 3:02:21 | 3:02:24 | |
and her guide Brett Wild
in the downhill skiing. | 3:02:24 | 3:02:28 | |
It's absolutely fantastic. | 3:02:28 | 3:02:30 | |
This time last year I sustained
quite a severe concussion on this | 3:02:30 | 3:02:33 | |
slope where I crashed
into the finish line. | 3:02:33 | 3:02:37 | |
And to now cross the line today,
as Paralympic silver | 3:02:37 | 3:02:39 | |
medallists, is amazing. | 3:02:39 | 3:02:40 | |
And Louise has the weather... | 3:02:40 | 3:02:42 | |
Good morning. | 3:02:42 | 3:02:45 | |
Some good news for this Saturday. | 3:02:45 | 3:02:46 | |
Mild for all of us,
but there will be some rain around. | 3:02:46 | 3:02:49 | |
More details on exactly
where coming up shortly. | 3:02:49 | 3:02:56 | |
Good morning. | 3:02:56 | 3:02:57 | |
First, our main story. | 3:02:57 | 3:02:58 | |
The Home Secretary will chair
a second meeting of the government's | 3:02:58 | 3:03:01 | |
emergency Cobra committee today,
as investigations continue | 3:03:01 | 3:03:02 | |
into the poisoning of
a former Russian spy. | 3:03:02 | 3:03:07 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia are both in a serious | 3:03:07 | 3:03:09 | |
condition in hospital in Salisbury
after being exposed | 3:03:09 | 3:03:11 | |
to a nerve agent. | 3:03:11 | 3:03:13 | |
Specialist troops trained
in chemical warfare have been | 3:03:13 | 3:03:16 | |
deployed to the city. | 3:03:16 | 3:03:20 | |
Let's go to Salisbury now,
and our correspondent Sarah Corker. | 3:03:20 | 3:03:25 | |
Developments happening all the time.
What's the latest? As you say, it | 3:03:25 | 3:03:34 | |
was yesterday when the military
swept into Salisbury. Some soldiers, | 3:03:34 | 3:03:38 | |
specially trained in chemical
warfare. We saw images of some of | 3:03:38 | 3:03:42 | |
them in protective suits and gas
masks, showing how serious this | 3:03:42 | 3:03:45 | |
situation is. We saw vehicles and
objects being moved by the Army | 3:03:45 | 3:03:50 | |
yesterday. Today we are expecting
the focus could be on ambulances at | 3:03:50 | 3:03:54 | |
the hospital, they could be taken
away for decontamination. | 3:03:54 | 3:03:59 | |
Investigators are trying to piece
together a timeline of events. The | 3:03:59 | 3:04:04 | |
movements of Sergei Skripal and his
daughter Yulia on that Sunday before | 3:04:04 | 3:04:11 | |
they became violently ill. We have
seen police activity at his home. At | 3:04:11 | 3:04:14 | |
the cemetery where his wife and son
are buried. When I went past earlier | 3:04:14 | 3:04:17 | |
we saw at least three police vans
and a cordon still in place. The | 3:04:17 | 3:04:22 | |
Zizzi restaurant around the corner
from where we are now, there are | 3:04:22 | 3:04:27 | |
screens up there in front of the
restaurant. And a police officer is | 3:04:27 | 3:04:31 | |
on guard. We are in the Park, close
to the park bench and the tent | 3:04:31 | 3:04:35 | |
behind me, and that's where the
effects of this chemical agent were | 3:04:35 | 3:04:40 | |
first seen. Later this afternoon
Home Secretary Amber Rudd will chair | 3:04:40 | 3:04:44 | |
an emergency Cobra meeting. That's
an emergency briefing, where there | 3:04:44 | 3:04:48 | |
will be top security and
intelligence officials. Civil | 3:04:48 | 3:04:53 | |
servants and ministers also present.
They will look at where they are | 3:04:53 | 3:04:56 | |
with the progress of the
investigation. It's not clear at | 3:04:56 | 3:05:00 | |
this stage whether the Home
Secretary will give any kind of | 3:05:00 | 3:05:03 | |
public statement after that meeting
concludes, but the major questions | 3:05:03 | 3:05:07 | |
remain. When and where was the
chemical agent administered, who | 3:05:07 | 3:05:11 | |
administered it, and why? | 3:05:11 | 3:05:17 | |
President Trump has tweeted that
a deal with North Korea is "very | 3:05:17 | 3:05:20 | |
much in the making",
which he said would be | 3:05:20 | 3:05:22 | |
very good for the world. | 3:05:22 | 3:05:23 | |
The White House says he won't meet
Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang | 3:05:23 | 3:05:26 | |
takes concrete steps
to end its nuclear programme. | 3:05:26 | 3:05:28 | |
Our correspondent
Robin Brant is in Seoul. | 3:05:28 | 3:05:31 | |
What's the feeling in South Korea? | 3:05:31 | 3:05:38 | |
Let's talk about those mixed
messages coming from the White House | 3:05:39 | 3:05:43 | |
overnight first of all. Everybody
was startled there by the news | 3:05:43 | 3:05:47 | |
President Trump had accepted the
invitation to sit down with Kim | 3:05:47 | 3:05:50 | |
Jong-un. Then we had from White
House press secretary is that it | 3:05:50 | 3:05:54 | |
looked like there were
preconditions, concrete steps, she | 3:05:54 | 3:05:57 | |
said, were needed to come from
Pyongyang before the meeting could | 3:05:57 | 3:06:00 | |
go ahead. There was not more detail,
but that was about the process of | 3:06:00 | 3:06:07 | |
denuclearisation from the North.
Other sources around the White House | 3:06:07 | 3:06:12 | |
in the last few hours saying there
are no preconditions and the meeting | 3:06:12 | 3:06:16 | |
will go ahead. There do not need to
be tangible signs of concrete steps. | 3:06:16 | 3:06:20 | |
The meeting will happen by the end
of May, but we don't know where or | 3:06:20 | 3:06:23 | |
when. The reporting from Washington
is that the meeting will go ahead. | 3:06:23 | 3:06:30 | |
Nonetheless, a confusing picture. In
terms of here in Seoul in South | 3:06:30 | 3:06:35 | |
Korea, the country's president is
hugely optimistic about what this | 3:06:35 | 3:06:38 | |
meeting could bring. He has helped
to engineer it and bring it about, | 3:06:38 | 3:06:44 | |
President Moon Jae-in saying
yesterday that he thought the news | 3:06:44 | 3:06:46 | |
of this meeting was a miracle. He is
describing the prospect of these two | 3:06:46 | 3:06:51 | |
men sitting down as being a
milestone on the road to realising a | 3:06:51 | 3:06:58 | |
lasting peace, and that's even
before the meeting happens and | 3:06:58 | 3:07:04 | |
before we know where and when it
will happen. He is hugely | 3:07:04 | 3:07:07 | |
optimistic. Others are more
pessimistic and cynical. North | 3:07:07 | 3:07:11 | |
Koreans in the past have promised to
freeze their nuclear weapons | 3:07:11 | 3:07:14 | |
programme. They have promised to
freeze their missile development | 3:07:14 | 3:07:18 | |
programme and when they don't get
what they want, they go back on | 3:07:18 | 3:07:22 | |
that. There is a differing view
among many, but still an optimism | 3:07:22 | 3:07:25 | |
that it looks like this meeting will
happen, the first between a sitting | 3:07:25 | 3:07:30 | |
US president and a leader of North
Korea and that in itself makes it | 3:07:30 | 3:07:35 | |
hugely impressive. | 3:07:35 | 3:07:37 | |
An 85-year-old man has died
while waiting in an Accident | 3:07:37 | 3:07:40 | |
and Emergency unit because of
"dangerous overcrowding", | 3:07:40 | 3:07:41 | |
according to a hospital boss. | 3:07:41 | 3:07:42 | |
The man suffered a cardiac arrest
while waiting to see a senior | 3:07:42 | 3:07:45 | |
consultant at Northampton General
Hospital. | 3:07:45 | 3:07:47 | |
A leaked email from the trust's
medical director describes his death | 3:07:47 | 3:07:49 | |
as "due entirely to dangerous
overcrowding in the department". | 3:07:49 | 3:07:51 | |
In a statement the hospital
said the long wait for | 3:07:51 | 3:07:54 | |
treatment was unacceptable. | 3:07:54 | 3:07:58 | |
The National Rifle Association has
mounted a legal challenge to new gun | 3:07:58 | 3:08:02 | |
control measures in Florida drawn up
in the wake of a school shooting | 3:08:02 | 3:08:04 | |
last month which left
17 people dead. | 3:08:04 | 3:08:06 | |
It says the new law,
which will raise the legal age | 3:08:06 | 3:08:09 | |
to purchase firearms,
but also allows the training | 3:08:09 | 3:08:13 | |
and arming of school
staff, is unconstitutional. | 3:08:13 | 3:08:19 | |
Teachers in England could see
their workloads cut, | 3:08:19 | 3:08:21 | |
under proposals being set out
today by the Education | 3:08:21 | 3:08:25 | |
under proposals being set out today
by the Education Secretary. | 3:08:25 | 3:08:28 | |
He will tell a headteachers'
conference in Birmingham that long | 3:08:28 | 3:08:31 | |
working hours and too much red tape
are becoming a barrier to recruiting | 3:08:31 | 3:08:34 | |
and retaining staff. | 3:08:34 | 3:08:36 | |
It comes after research shows
headteachers have increased spending | 3:08:36 | 3:08:40 | |
on supply teachers. Here's more from
education correspondent Elaine | 3:08:40 | 3:08:43 | |
Dunkley. | 3:08:43 | 3:08:45 | |
This is Passmores Academy in Essex. | 3:08:45 | 3:08:47 | |
Like so many schools,
it's struggling to recruit teachers. | 3:08:47 | 3:08:50 | |
Classrooms around the country
are now relying on agency supply | 3:08:50 | 3:08:52 | |
teachers to cover permanent
vacancies. | 3:08:52 | 3:08:55 | |
We employ supply staff within our
school, a long-term supply, | 3:08:55 | 3:08:58 | |
so they get to know the students. | 3:08:58 | 3:09:00 | |
But when we have to use short-term
supply, they don't know | 3:09:00 | 3:09:03 | |
the systems or the students. | 3:09:03 | 3:09:05 | |
There is a lack of trust that often
comes, when you build up | 3:09:05 | 3:09:09 | |
a relationship, isn't there. | 3:09:09 | 3:09:10 | |
It is quite erosive
of standards, potentially. | 3:09:10 | 3:09:13 | |
In a survey by the Association
of School and College Leaders, | 3:09:13 | 3:09:16 | |
71% of head teachers who responded
said they had had to increase | 3:09:16 | 3:09:19 | |
the amount they spend on agency
supply teachers over | 3:09:19 | 3:09:21 | |
the past three years. | 3:09:21 | 3:09:24 | |
Nearly one fifth spent between 6%
and 10% of their budget | 3:09:24 | 3:09:26 | |
on supply teachers. | 3:09:26 | 3:09:27 | |
According to the most
recent government figures, | 3:09:27 | 3:09:30 | |
schools are spending £835 million
per year on supply agencies. | 3:09:30 | 3:09:37 | |
The issue isn't just
recruitment, but stopping | 3:09:37 | 3:09:41 | |
existing teachers leaving. | 3:09:41 | 3:09:43 | |
For me it was a
multitude of factors. | 3:09:43 | 3:09:46 | |
I found the workload
and the job itself consuming. | 3:09:46 | 3:09:48 | |
I would work 65 or 70 hour weeks. | 3:09:48 | 3:09:52 | |
With planning, marking,
the assessments you're doing. | 3:09:52 | 3:09:58 | |
The actual teaching part probably
took up the least time of anything! | 3:09:58 | 3:10:02 | |
Today, the government will announce
a strategy drive to improve | 3:10:02 | 3:10:05 | |
teachers' workloads,
which includes no changes | 3:10:05 | 3:10:07 | |
to the national curriculum
for GCSEs and A-levels, | 3:10:07 | 3:10:11 | |
and no new tests for primary schools
- measures which the government says | 3:10:11 | 3:10:14 | |
will attract new teachers and stop
experienced ones leaving. | 3:10:14 | 3:10:17 | |
Elaine Dunkley, BBC News. | 3:10:17 | 3:10:24 | |
If you've been watching this week,
you'll have seen that we've | 3:10:27 | 3:10:30 | |
been keeping up to date
with Zoe Ball's Sport | 3:10:30 | 3:10:32 | |
Relief challenge. | 3:10:32 | 3:10:33 | |
She crossed the line last night! | 3:10:33 | 3:10:35 | |
We should warn you that there's some
flash photography in the pictures | 3:10:35 | 3:10:37 | |
we're about to show you. | 3:10:37 | 3:10:41 | |
Zoe arrived in Brighton after
cycling 350 miles from Blackpool. | 3:10:41 | 3:10:45 | |
Yesterday was a tough
day with lots of big | 3:10:45 | 3:10:48 | |
hills and heavy rain. | 3:10:48 | 3:10:52 | |
But it's all been worth it. | 3:10:52 | 3:10:54 | |
She's raised more
than half-a-million | 3:10:54 | 3:10:55 | |
pounds for Sport Relief. | 3:10:55 | 3:10:59 | |
You can still donate online. | 3:10:59 | 3:11:07 | |
She was with us yesterday. And her
father, Johnny Ball, wishing her | 3:11:08 | 3:11:12 | |
well. He's a non-cyclist, doesn't
cycle at all. He said he bought a | 3:11:12 | 3:11:19 | |
bike and it went straight back in
the shed. I'm sure Zoe Ball Leeds | 3:11:19 | 3:11:25 | |
will be recovering this morning. | 3:11:25 | 3:11:27 | |
A week ago, the name Sergei Skripal
was one that very few people knew. | 3:11:27 | 3:11:30 | |
But now the attempted murder
in Salisbury of the ex-Russian spy | 3:11:30 | 3:11:33 | |
and his daughter Yulia, has made
headlines all over the world. | 3:11:33 | 3:11:36 | |
More details about his life
have also been revealed. | 3:11:36 | 3:11:38 | |
Before he was released
in a spy-swap, he spent time | 3:11:38 | 3:11:40 | |
in a Russian penal labour camp. | 3:11:40 | 3:11:42 | |
But what else will investigators be
trying to establish? | 3:11:42 | 3:11:46 | |
Let's talk to the former MI5
intelligence officer Annie Machon. | 3:11:46 | 3:11:50 | |
Good to have you with us again. We
spoke to you earlier in the week as | 3:11:50 | 3:11:55 | |
some details were coming through.
What do you make of how this story | 3:11:55 | 3:11:59 | |
is developing? I think it is
developing exactly the way the | 3:11:59 | 3:12:03 | |
investigation should. There will be
three strands. First of all, to get | 3:12:03 | 3:12:07 | |
boots on the ground, to look at
trying to find eyewitnesses on the | 3:12:07 | 3:12:11 | |
day, to sift through CCTV coverage
and do the standard police work | 3:12:11 | 3:12:16 | |
around Salisbury about what exactly
the movements were and where the | 3:12:16 | 3:12:19 | |
attack could have happened. The
second one is key, to get a warrant. | 3:12:19 | 3:12:30 | |
This would be on the intelligence
side, to go through the electronic | 3:12:30 | 3:12:34 | |
communications of Skripal and his
daughter and to see what he is | 3:12:34 | 3:12:37 | |
involved in at the moment. He was
picked clean as an intelligence | 3:12:37 | 3:12:42 | |
agent years ago when he was
prosecuted by the Russians. He will | 3:12:42 | 3:12:47 | |
have also been debriefed over weeks
after he came back to the UK after | 3:12:47 | 3:12:50 | |
the spy swap in 2010. In terms of
intelligence value, I don't think | 3:12:50 | 3:12:54 | |
there will be much left. If I were
investigating this now, if I was | 3:12:54 | 3:12:58 | |
sitting behind a desk at MI5, I
would be focusing on looking at his | 3:12:58 | 3:13:02 | |
work over the last eight years since
he came to the UK. Good that provide | 3:13:02 | 3:13:09 | |
some sort of motivation? Could he
have been involved in some dodgy | 3:13:09 | 3:13:12 | |
deals? We don't know. I think that's
where the focus will be. The third | 3:13:12 | 3:13:17 | |
prong of the investigation, now they
have identified what is described as | 3:13:17 | 3:13:21 | |
an unusual and exotic nerve agent
used in the attack, identify which | 3:13:21 | 3:13:27 | |
laboratories are known to make it,
and how it could have been acquired | 3:13:27 | 3:13:32 | |
by a state or criminal act support
if somebody has been released or | 3:13:32 | 3:13:36 | |
been part of a spy swap stoplights
if somebody has been released or | 3:13:36 | 3:13:42 | |
been part of a spy swap, -- stop | 3:13:42 | 3:13:47 | |
after a spy swap, is on the
assumption that they will be left | 3:13:53 | 3:13:58 | |
alone? They will have been
debriefed, in the run-up to the | 3:13:58 | 3:14:01 | |
trial, Skripal will have | 3:14:01 | 3:14:11 | |
trial, Skripal will have been in and
it would be very unusual for | 3:14:11 | 3:14:14 | |
somebody to be attacked over almost
a decade since it has been released. | 3:14:14 | 3:14:18 | |
That's why I suggest they need to
look at what he has been involved in | 3:14:18 | 3:14:21 | |
more recently to provide motivation.
We know a Cobra meeting Cabinet | 3:14:21 | 3:14:28 | |
Office briefing room meeting will
take place today. Amber Rudd has | 3:14:28 | 3:14:32 | |
made comments. It's very difficult,
if no blame has been apportioned | 3:14:32 | 3:14:36 | |
yet, as to help can come from. I'm
thinking, should the Kremlin be | 3:14:36 | 3:14:42 | |
helping us? Indeed, the Kremlin has
offered to help us. A statement from | 3:14:42 | 3:14:46 | |
the Foreign Minister of Russia
yesterday, Sergei Lavrov, said they | 3:14:46 | 3:14:49 | |
would be happy to help. They are
keen to make sure no blame is | 3:14:49 | 3:14:55 | |
attached. Home Secretary Amber Rudd
said clearly that the police need | 3:14:55 | 3:14:58 | |
space and time to pull together the
evidence chain to find out what | 3:14:58 | 3:15:07 | |
happened before we point fingers.
There is a febrile environment are | 3:15:07 | 3:15:12 | |
blaming Russia for everything, to
assume it is a state led attack. But | 3:15:12 | 3:15:19 | |
these kinds of attacks, and chemical
weapons can go missing and be used | 3:15:19 | 3:15:23 | |
and misused by road actors. We have
seen this with chemical weapons go | 3:15:23 | 3:15:29 | |
missing in Ukraine after the fall of
the Soviet Union and we have seen it | 3:15:29 | 3:15:32 | |
in America with strange militarised
anthrax being sent through the post | 3:15:32 | 3:15:37 | |
after 9/11. Accidents can happen and
people can be subverted. These | 3:15:37 | 3:15:40 | |
weapons can fall into the wrong
hands so it's not necessarily a | 3:15:40 | 3:15:44 | |
state actor. That's precisely the
evidential chain the police and | 3:15:44 | 3:15:48 | |
intelligence agencies will be trying
to work on now. | 3:15:48 | 3:15:51 | |
It is good for you to is because
again on Breakfast as this | 3:15:55 | 3:16:00 | |
investigation continues. Thanks for
your time. Let's have a look at | 3:16:00 | 3:16:05 | |
today's papers. | 3:16:05 | 3:16:11 | |
today's papers. Let's start with the
front page of the Times newspaper. | 3:16:11 | 3:16:16 | |
There are some pictures in the
papers and you will be aware that | 3:16:16 | 3:16:20 | |
crofters on. This dog is a
wire-haired daks hand. It is being | 3:16:20 | 3:16:25 | |
groomed. -- -- hanged. | 3:16:25 | 3:16:31 | |
groomed. -- -- hanged. Teenagers
face being cut off from social media | 3:16:32 | 3:16:34 | |
sites after a few hours browsing.
Ministers looking at imposing a | 3:16:34 | 3:16:40 | |
limit on the time spent by children
on social media. You seem to be an | 3:16:40 | 3:16:45 | |
expert on this -- on dogs. Can you
tell me the name of this one. | 3:16:45 | 3:16:49 | |
I thought it was an Afghan hound.
The nose does not look quite long | 3:16:49 | 3:16:54 | |
enough so I could be wrong.
You are an expert on dog breeds. | 3:16:54 | 3:16:58 | |
I am probably completely wrong.
The front page of the Guardian is | 3:16:58 | 3:17:02 | |
picking up the story that the US
will take a tough stance in | 3:17:02 | 3:17:07 | |
discussions with North Korea. It is
assumed that Donald Trump will take | 3:17:07 | 3:17:10 | |
a hardline position when he has the
summit with Kim Jong-un. | 3:17:10 | 3:17:17 | |
Like many papers throughout the
week, the images from Salisbury | 3:17:17 | 3:17:19 | |
dominating the front pages. You will
be aware by now that amongst the | 3:17:19 | 3:17:22 | |
investigations going on, the grave
of Sergei Skripal's wife is being | 3:17:22 | 3:17:29 | |
examined. You can see the forces
wearing special protection sits on | 3:17:29 | 3:17:36 | |
the scene.
We are joined by Professor Cary | 3:17:36 | 3:17:40 | |
Cooper. Good morning. Good morning
to you. This is linked to what we | 3:17:40 | 3:17:45 | |
were talking about, the former MI5
officer, about this former Russian | 3:17:45 | 3:17:51 | |
spy, his daughter being poisoned and
the impact this will have on | 3:17:51 | 3:17:54 | |
diplomatic relations. Yes, they are
all thinking about it now, what do | 3:17:54 | 3:18:00 | |
we do? The World Cup coming is the
perfect opportunity, and the Times | 3:18:00 | 3:18:05 | |
has this piece saying that ministers
are thinking about, if there is | 3:18:05 | 3:18:10 | |
irrefutable evidence, which is what
you have to get, but obviously, it | 3:18:10 | 3:18:14 | |
is probably a good way of doing it
rather than a trade war something | 3:18:14 | 3:18:18 | |
else, but who knows what they will
come up with. If they get the | 3:18:18 | 3:18:22 | |
evidence, I think we will see a
boycott. Right now, they are already | 3:18:22 | 3:18:28 | |
talking to the Americans, the
Europeans, by doing this, not just | 3:18:28 | 3:18:33 | |
the UK, but sending a statement
about using chemical weapons. To be | 3:18:33 | 3:18:37 | |
clear, you said boycott, and their
own Foreign Secretary, there were | 3:18:37 | 3:18:41 | |
some alarm, when he mentioned some
kind of boycott. Initially people | 3:18:41 | 3:18:46 | |
were saying, are England not going
to the World Cup? The only | 3:18:46 | 3:18:49 | |
suggestion is that dignitaries,
Parliament representatives, | 3:18:49 | 3:18:56 | |
government, they would not be there.
In some ways, people will say, what | 3:18:56 | 3:18:59 | |
difference will that make? I think
they are saying that now, Charlie, | 3:18:59 | 3:19:05 | |
because the bit about irrefutable
evidence. Until they really can | 3:19:05 | 3:19:08 | |
prove that it came from Russia, they
will not be able to do that. With | 3:19:08 | 3:19:15 | |
Litvinenko, that took 14 years. It
does not happen in a hurry. | 3:19:15 | 3:19:20 | |
Absolutely. The adjoining story to
that was Mourinho. That is | 3:19:20 | 3:19:23 | |
interesting. She has a five-week
contract, five days. It is five days | 3:19:23 | 3:19:33 | |
as a pundit for Russia today. It is
thought to be worth around £1 | 3:19:33 | 3:19:37 | |
million. He was queried at a press
conference, given what is happening | 3:19:37 | 3:19:44 | |
with the Russian spicing, will you
continue to do that? The press | 3:19:44 | 3:19:51 | |
officer said, we are not here to
talk about that. Who knows what is | 3:19:51 | 3:19:54 | |
going to happen? It will be
interesting to see how the West | 3:19:54 | 3:20:01 | |
responds, if this evidence
transpires. Back in the world that | 3:20:01 | 3:20:05 | |
more of us recognise, the world we
live in, questions about how long we | 3:20:05 | 3:20:09 | |
live in it for? This is amazing. ONS
says that if you live in an affluent | 3:20:09 | 3:20:16 | |
area, they were comparing one town
in Cumbria, one village in Cumbria, | 3:20:16 | 3:20:21 | |
with Middlehaven in Middlesbrough.
Rich against relatively pure. What | 3:20:21 | 3:20:27 | |
they found was, great Corby ranks as
the top location for longevity in | 3:20:27 | 3:20:36 | |
the UK, with women living to 97.2
years. Compared with the poorest | 3:20:36 | 3:20:42 | |
bit, they live to 74. What is
interesting, the healthy life | 3:20:42 | 3:20:48 | |
expectancy bit. How long will you
stay healthy? If you live in great | 3:20:48 | 3:20:53 | |
Corby, you will stay healthy until
you're 75, but if you live in | 3:20:53 | 3:20:58 | |
Middlehaven, you will stay healthy
only 247. Mid-40s. That is amazing. | 3:20:58 | 3:21:05 | |
We should be looking at that. We are
supposed to be living in a healthy | 3:21:05 | 3:21:10 | |
age, the UK, we are an advanced
country. The fifth most productive | 3:21:10 | 3:21:15 | |
country in the world. That is
extraordinary. It is kind of | 3:21:15 | 3:21:18 | |
upsetting. What has upset me is this
story. I thought you would like | 3:21:18 | 3:21:25 | |
this. I do not like it, but you
explain the story. Many people will | 3:21:25 | 3:21:30 | |
not like it, male or female. A study
was done by the University of | 3:21:30 | 3:21:35 | |
Abertay in Scotland, in Dundee. The
evidence has been that if you are a | 3:21:35 | 3:21:44 | |
relatively attractive women you're
more likely to get a job than a less | 3:21:44 | 3:21:49 | |
attractive one. -- woman. This study
does an experiment. And men as well. | 3:21:49 | 3:21:55 | |
It applies to men and women. In this
case, they did things with women, | 3:21:55 | 3:22:00 | |
they had on woman winning a lot of
make up and another on having no | 3:22:00 | 3:22:03 | |
make-up. She was the same woman, but
they did it, and they had comparable | 3:22:03 | 3:22:10 | |
people rating them. The woman coup
worthy make up was rated as less of | 3:22:10 | 3:22:16 | |
a potential leader than the woman to
did not have make-up on, the point | 3:22:16 | 3:22:20 | |
being, that if you put make-up on
and let really attractive, you will | 3:22:20 | 3:22:25 | |
not be perceived by people... You
are less plausible. You're less | 3:22:25 | 3:22:31 | |
plausible as a leader. That is
horrible. We are into this whole | 3:22:31 | 3:22:37 | |
gender pay thing. There is still a
glass ceiling for women in the | 3:22:37 | 3:22:40 | |
workplace. It is an interesting item
in. You could argue the other way | 3:22:40 | 3:22:45 | |
around, that it is rather
refreshing. Have I got is the right | 3:22:45 | 3:22:51 | |
way around? They are saying that if
you were less make up your more | 3:22:51 | 3:22:53 | |
plausible? Yes, as a leader. Is that
not refreshing? That people are not | 3:22:53 | 3:22:59 | |
duped by cosmetics. One of the
things it is saying is that heavy... | 3:22:59 | 3:23:06 | |
Sorry. Heavy make-up upsets me. It
is a judgment on how you should | 3:23:06 | 3:23:12 | |
present yourself in terms of
make-up. Winning like make up and | 3:23:12 | 3:23:16 | |
being demure or controlled with your
make up is fine, but heavy make | 3:23:16 | 3:23:20 | |
up... People, male or female,
wearing make up are being judged on | 3:23:20 | 3:23:26 | |
how they have put it on. Just forget
that, it is about you. The result we | 3:23:26 | 3:23:32 | |
want is, it does not make a
difference. | 3:23:32 | 3:23:35 | |
The other upsetting thing is it is
men and women who were asked to | 3:23:35 | 3:23:38 | |
evaluate. It is not meant judging
women. In Hollywood, I heard people | 3:23:38 | 3:23:45 | |
saying, look at those women that are
winning their black dresses. They | 3:23:45 | 3:23:49 | |
are dressing to the nines. You know
what that means. I thought that was | 3:23:49 | 3:23:53 | |
horrible. They should not be seeing
about sexual harassment staff | 3:23:53 | 3:23:58 | |
because they are dressing like that.
I thought that was appalling. -- | 3:23:58 | 3:24:02 | |
sexual harassment things. The last
story I have, and quick one on | 3:24:02 | 3:24:09 | |
Mother's Day. It is Mother's Day
tomorrow. Guess what. It is mum's | 3:24:09 | 3:24:16 | |
day. No, it is not. The card | 3:24:16 | 3:24:26 | |
day. No, it is not. The card makers
are doing cards that say things like | 3:24:26 | 3:24:28 | |
this. It comes from kids'
programmes. Kids watch television | 3:24:28 | 3:24:34 | |
and they see the American ones
dominating children's television | 3:24:34 | 3:24:37 | |
viewing habits. New words have come
into being. Our traditional | 3:24:37 | 3:24:44 | |
directors says it is Mothering
Sunday. Good, I am with you. Good to | 3:24:44 | 3:24:49 | |
see you this morning. Thank you very
much. You, too. | 3:24:49 | 3:24:54 | |
see you this morning. Thank you very
much. You, too. | 3:24:54 | 3:24:54 | |
Controversial discussions. Are you?
I am loving it. It is feisty. It is | 3:24:54 | 3:25:00 | |
get up and come to work day for me
tomorrow. Good morning. I am trying | 3:25:00 | 3:25:06 | |
to find the silver lining for this
weekend. I managed to find some | 3:25:06 | 3:25:09 | |
sunshine this morning. Not a bad
start in the south-east after a | 3:25:09 | 3:25:15 | |
miserable start last night with
heavy rain but the rain has moved | 3:25:15 | 3:25:19 | |
further north. It is sitting across
northern England at the moment. This | 3:25:19 | 3:25:23 | |
is Hull just a narrow goal, gloomy
with low cloud and light rain. The | 3:25:23 | 3:25:29 | |
rain will drift its way north
through the day but the good news as | 3:25:29 | 3:25:32 | |
it is introducing this mild air
across the country. After a cold | 3:25:32 | 3:25:38 | |
night in Highland Scotland, the air
will get to you as we go through the | 3:25:38 | 3:25:42 | |
day. It will bring rain, on frontal
system cleaning to the north, | 3:25:42 | 3:25:46 | |
another pushing into the south-west.
In France, it looks dry. Apparently | 3:25:46 | 3:25:52 | |
there is an important rugby match
taking place this afternoon. We will | 3:25:52 | 3:25:56 | |
have rain in Ireland, but in France,
for the England match, it looks like | 3:25:56 | 3:26:01 | |
it will be 16 degrees with cloudy
skies. There will be rain around in | 3:26:01 | 3:26:06 | |
the UK, and it will move steadily
north. Snow over higher ground in | 3:26:06 | 3:26:12 | |
Scotland and behind it, showers
following. For the afternoon in | 3:26:12 | 3:26:16 | |
Scotland, we will start to see the
mild air pushing in. Snow on higher | 3:26:16 | 3:26:22 | |
ground but it will be an unsettled
afternoon. Rain across Northern | 3:26:22 | 3:26:25 | |
Ireland but double digits here, and
heavy rain into the Lake District. | 3:26:25 | 3:26:30 | |
Further south, the rain will be
sherry into the afternoon and if the | 3:26:30 | 3:26:34 | |
cloud continues to break up we will
see some decent warmth, 13-15d. | 3:26:34 | 3:26:40 | |
Anything above 15 degrees and it
will be the warmest day of the year | 3:26:40 | 3:26:43 | |
so far. The rain will move north
overnight, and sit on the Northern | 3:26:43 | 3:26:47 | |
Isles. Winds and murky conditions
will develop with the moisture from | 3:26:47 | 3:26:54 | |
the rain. Potential for fog in the
early half of Mothering Sunday. Fog | 3:26:54 | 3:26:59 | |
first thing in the morning,
particularly through central and | 3:26:59 | 3:27:02 | |
eastern England where it could
linger for a time. It should lift | 3:27:02 | 3:27:06 | |
away, and as we go through Sunday,
the rain will sit on the Northern | 3:27:06 | 3:27:11 | |
Isles, Scotland into northern
England, it is a better day, with | 3:27:11 | 3:27:16 | |
sunny spells. In the south,
scattered showers, some could be | 3:27:16 | 3:27:20 | |
heavy, possibly thundery, but it
will be mild for all, double digits | 3:27:20 | 3:27:24 | |
widely across the country, 12
degrees, and we have not seen in | 3:27:24 | 3:27:28 | |
double figures in Scotland since the
20th | 3:27:28 | 3:27:31 | |
double figures in Scotland since the
20th of February. Back to you. | 3:27:31 | 3:27:34 | |
Thanks. I am doing housework,
tidying up. | 3:27:34 | 3:27:39 | |
I wonder how tidy it is with Michel
Roux Jr, who is taking over the | 3:27:39 | 3:27:44 | |
Saturday Kitchen after us. Argue a
tidy chef? I am a very tidy chef. | 3:27:44 | 3:27:51 | |
Obsessively tidy. Good morning. Our
special guest today is onstage later | 3:27:51 | 3:27:59 | |
in Young Frankenstein, so we better
feed her art. It is Lesley Joseph. | 3:27:59 | 3:28:03 | |
Good morning. Good morning,
everyone. I have been waiting for | 3:28:03 | 3:28:09 | |
this moment so long. You have to
face your food heaven or food hell | 3:28:09 | 3:28:13 | |
at the end of the show. What are
your heavenly ingredients? Smoked | 3:28:13 | 3:28:17 | |
salmon, I have to have smoked salmon
every day. I adore smoked salmon. I | 3:28:17 | 3:28:23 | |
am also really into ginger, because
I do not know if that is my | 3:28:23 | 3:28:27 | |
imagination, but I think there are
some healing properties in Ginger so | 3:28:27 | 3:28:31 | |
I have a little swig before the show
every day, and vegetables. I love | 3:28:31 | 3:28:37 | |
vegetables. Cauliflower, I love
vegetables. And what about hell? To | 3:28:37 | 3:28:43 | |
blue cheese. I do not like blue
cheese. I do like it, but I am not | 3:28:43 | 3:28:51 | |
in love with it, too much chocolate,
too rich. I am avoiding chocolate at | 3:28:51 | 3:28:57 | |
the moment, big-time. We will see at
the end of the show. Two great chefs | 3:28:57 | 3:29:02 | |
are here, Florence Knight, what will
you be taking? Pan-fried pollock | 3:29:02 | 3:29:07 | |
with almond period, and sauteed
Perce Lane. And you are back as | 3:29:07 | 3:29:14 | |
well. What will you be cooking? Pork
curry from the south of Thailand | 3:29:14 | 3:29:19 | |
with lots of fresh lime leaves.
Yummy. And you are in charge of the | 3:29:19 | 3:29:27 | |
winds? Challenging flavours, but I
will provide deliciousness later on. | 3:29:27 | 3:29:32 | |
And you guys at home are in charge
of what Leslie Eades at the end of | 3:29:32 | 3:29:36 | |
the show. Good to website for voting
details. See you at ten o'clock. | 3:29:36 | 3:29:41 | |
Thank you. The headlines coming up
in just a moment. | 3:29:41 | 3:29:45 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 3:30:40 | 3:30:44 | |
Louise will have the
weekend's weather for you. | 3:30:44 | 3:30:50 | |
And Michael have the sport. | 3:30:50 | 3:30:52 | |
But first, a summary of this
morning's main news. | 3:30:52 | 3:30:54 | |
The Home Secretary will chair
a second meeting of the government's | 3:30:54 | 3:30:57 | |
emergency Cobra committee today,
as investigations continue | 3:30:57 | 3:30:59 | |
into the poisoning of
a former Russian spy. | 3:30:59 | 3:31:01 | |
Sergei Skripal and his daughter
Yulia are both in a serious | 3:31:01 | 3:31:04 | |
condition in hospital in Salisbury
after being exposed | 3:31:04 | 3:31:07 | |
to a nerve agent. | 3:31:07 | 3:31:09 | |
Specialist troops trained
in chemical warfare have been | 3:31:09 | 3:31:14 | |
deployed to the city. | 3:31:14 | 3:31:15 | |
The grave of Mr Skripal's wife,
who was buried in 2012, | 3:31:15 | 3:31:18 | |
and the memorial stone of his son,
who was cremated last year, | 3:31:18 | 3:31:20 | |
have been cordoned off. | 3:31:20 | 3:31:22 | |
President Trump has tweeted that
a deal with North Korea is "very | 3:31:22 | 3:31:25 | |
much in the making",
which he said would be | 3:31:25 | 3:31:27 | |
very good for the world. | 3:31:27 | 3:31:29 | |
The White House says he won't meet
Kim Jong-un unless Pyongyang | 3:31:29 | 3:31:31 | |
takes concrete steps
to end its nuclear programme. | 3:31:31 | 3:31:36 | |
No sitting US president has ever met
a leader from North Korea before. | 3:31:36 | 3:31:41 | |
An 85-year-old man has died
while waiting in an Accident | 3:31:41 | 3:31:43 | |
and Emergency unit because of
"dangerous overcrowding", | 3:31:43 | 3:31:45 | |
according to a hospital boss. | 3:31:45 | 3:31:47 | |
The man suffered a cardiac arrest
while waiting to see a senior | 3:31:47 | 3:31:50 | |
consultant at Northampton General
Hospital. | 3:31:50 | 3:31:52 | |
A leaked email from the trust's
medical director describes his death | 3:31:52 | 3:31:55 | |
as "due entirely to dangerous
overcrowding in the department". | 3:31:55 | 3:32:02 | |
In a statement, the hospital
said the long wait for | 3:32:02 | 3:32:04 | |
treatment was unacceptable. | 3:32:04 | 3:32:06 | |
The National Rifle Association has
mounted a legal challenge to new gun | 3:32:06 | 3:32:10 | |
control measures in Florida drawn up
in the wake of a school shooting | 3:32:10 | 3:32:13 | |
last month which left
17 people dead. | 3:32:13 | 3:32:16 | |
It says the new law,
which will raise the legal age | 3:32:16 | 3:32:19 | |
to purchase firearms,
but also allows the training | 3:32:19 | 3:32:21 | |
and arming of school
staff, is unconstitutional. | 3:32:21 | 3:32:24 | |
Teachers in England could see
their workloads cut, | 3:32:24 | 3:32:29 | |
under proposals being set out today
by the Education Secretary. | 3:32:29 | 3:32:31 | |
He will tell a headteachers'
conference in Birmingham that long | 3:32:31 | 3:32:34 | |
working hours and too much red tape
are becoming a barrier to recruiting | 3:32:34 | 3:32:38 | |
and retaining staff. | 3:32:38 | 3:32:46 | |
We can now show your robot who has
got the sack. | 3:32:48 | 3:32:53 | |
He's been in the job just one day -
but Flippy the Robot isn't up to it | 3:32:53 | 3:32:57 | |
and has already been replaced
by human resources. | 3:32:57 | 3:32:59 | |
The burger-flipping arm had
been serving customers | 3:32:59 | 3:33:01 | |
at a restaurant in California,
as the owners attempt | 3:33:01 | 3:33:03 | |
to replace human cooks. | 3:33:03 | 3:33:04 | |
But he's out already. | 3:33:04 | 3:33:06 | |
Because he was just too
slow and couldn't turn | 3:33:06 | 3:33:08 | |
the burgers quickly enough. | 3:33:08 | 3:33:15 | |
He has been replaced by a human.
Quite nice to hear it that way | 3:33:15 | 3:33:18 | |
round. | 3:33:18 | 3:33:21 | |
We're told he's being reprogrammed. | 3:33:21 | 3:33:25 | |
And we have also noticed you can't
put cheese on the burgers either. | 3:33:25 | 3:33:31 | |
Flip it turned out to of a flop.
Working on that all morning! I'm | 3:33:31 | 3:33:42 | |
roaring inside! The times I've
helped you out and you are not there | 3:33:42 | 3:33:48 | |
for me when I need you. It's good to
see the humans making a comeback. | 3:33:48 | 3:33:52 | |
Talk to us about the silver medal.
That's why robots can't do sport, | 3:33:52 | 3:33:57 | |
because they can't get excited and
emotional about the first medal for | 3:33:57 | 3:34:02 | |
Paralympics Team GB in Pyeongchang. | 3:34:02 | 3:34:09 | |
She was out in the Alps a year ago
when she had concussion, but Millie | 3:34:09 | 3:34:12 | |
Knight, we never thought we would
see this day, and she has won silver | 3:34:12 | 3:34:16 | |
with Brett Wild. She is only 19 and
only has 5% vision. But she hurtles | 3:34:16 | 3:34:22 | |
down the mountain at around 70 mph.
Just behind her guide who calls out | 3:34:22 | 3:34:29 | |
instructions and wears a bright
orange jacket. Despite that long | 3:34:29 | 3:34:33 | |
time-out with concussion, Millie
Knight and Brett Wild have got | 3:34:33 | 3:34:36 | |
silver medals today. | 3:34:36 | 3:34:38 | |
Our reporter Kate Gray
is in Pyeongchang and earlier spoke | 3:34:38 | 3:34:40 | |
to Britain's first medallists,
and Kate, tell us why this | 3:34:40 | 3:34:43 | |
is such an important medal
for Millie and Brett. | 3:34:43 | 3:34:46 | |
Absolutely. When it comes to
Paralympic games, it's all about | 3:34:46 | 3:34:50 | |
being on the podium, particularly as
this is Millie Knight's second | 3:34:50 | 3:34:54 | |
Paralympics. She has a lot of
pressure on her shoulders, and even | 3:34:54 | 3:34:57 | |
though it was a difficult year for
her, she was hoping she could get on | 3:34:57 | 3:35:00 | |
the podium, and today that happened
in the downhill of the Alpine | 3:35:00 | 3:35:04 | |
skiing, the toughest race, the speed
race, they managed to win the first | 3:35:04 | 3:35:12 | |
Team GB medal at this Olympics. Her
team-mates actually had crashed out | 3:35:12 | 3:35:17 | |
before them but luckily Millie
Knight didn't see this happen. It | 3:35:17 | 3:35:20 | |
didn't put her off. She managed to
safely negotiate it | 3:35:20 | 3:35:29 | |
safely negotiate it down the hill
behind guide Brett Wild. I caught up | 3:35:29 | 3:35:31 | |
with them just before they collected
their medals. | 3:35:31 | 3:35:34 | |
It's absolutely fantastic. | 3:35:34 | 3:35:35 | |
This time last year I sustained
quite a severe concussion on this | 3:35:35 | 3:35:38 | |
slope, where I crashed
into the finish line. | 3:35:38 | 3:35:40 | |
To now cross the line today
as Paralympic silver | 3:35:40 | 3:35:42 | |
medallists is amazing. | 3:35:42 | 3:35:43 | |
Were you nervous at the start,
was that going through your mind? | 3:35:43 | 3:35:46 | |
I certainly was nervous,
but I guess that just | 3:35:46 | 3:35:48 | |
means I cared about it. | 3:35:48 | 3:35:50 | |
The moment I pushed out
of the start gate, though, | 3:35:50 | 3:35:52 | |
all the nerves went. | 3:35:52 | 3:35:53 | |
Brett, you are guiding
her down the mountain. | 3:35:53 | 3:35:55 | |
It wasn't an especially easy
downhill with incidents | 3:35:55 | 3:35:59 | |
with other athletes. | 3:35:59 | 3:36:03 | |
Yeah, it was a challenging downhill. | 3:36:03 | 3:36:06 | |
The terrain, there was no
popular point to rest. | 3:36:06 | 3:36:08 | |
The conditions were challenging. | 3:36:08 | 3:36:10 | |
It was softening up quite quick. | 3:36:10 | 3:36:12 | |
But we had a game plan and we stuck
to it and we are pleased | 3:36:12 | 3:36:16 | |
to be back in the mix,
a great start to the Paralympics. | 3:36:16 | 3:36:19 | |
Is there a slight disappointment it
wasn't gold this time? | 3:36:19 | 3:36:21 | |
Definitely not. | 3:36:21 | 3:36:23 | |
With the season we have had, it's
been quite a frustrating season. | 3:36:23 | 3:36:26 | |
We haven't got the results
we wanted and coming back | 3:36:26 | 3:36:28 | |
from concussion was really tough. | 3:36:28 | 3:36:32 | |
This is the highest result
we have had all season. | 3:36:32 | 3:36:34 | |
For it to come at the Paralympic
Games is wonderful. | 3:36:34 | 3:36:42 | |
Smiles all round for Millie Knight
and Brett Wild. They will be back in | 3:36:43 | 3:36:47 | |
action tomorrow in the super G along
with team-mates Mena Fitzpatrick and | 3:36:47 | 3:36:52 | |
Kelly Gallagher. There was an
exciting curling match going on | 3:36:52 | 3:36:57 | |
earlier, Great Britain against
curling world champions Norway. A | 3:36:57 | 3:36:59 | |
tight match from start to finish and
it all came down to the final stone. | 3:36:59 | 3:37:04 | |
It was Norway's stone and they had
to knock three of Great Britain's | 3:37:04 | 3:37:07 | |
out of the way to win, they
couldn't, and Great Britain won the | 3:37:07 | 3:37:12 | |
match 5-2, a great result to start
their campaign at the Paralympics. | 3:37:12 | 3:37:16 | |
They will be back in action
tomorrow, as will Millie Knight and | 3:37:16 | 3:37:20 | |
many other British athletes. What a
way to start, we already have a | 3:37:20 | 3:37:24 | |
silver medal, and so much more to
look forward to. | 3:37:24 | 3:37:29 | |
It's the penultimate
weekend of the Six Nations. | 3:37:29 | 3:37:32 | |
In Paris, England will play France
and in Dublin, Scotland | 3:37:32 | 3:37:34 | |
will play Ireland. | 3:37:34 | 3:37:37 | |
John Watson is at the city's
Aviva Stadium this morning. | 3:37:37 | 3:37:40 | |
And John, there's every chance
there could be some party | 3:37:40 | 3:37:42 | |
there in Dublin tonight. | 3:37:42 | 3:37:46 | |
Hope you can stay. There could well
be. Ireland could well wrap up the | 3:37:46 | 3:37:55 | |
six Nations title this weekend. Who
would have predicted that on this, | 3:37:55 | 3:37:58 | |
the penultimate weekend? But if they
beat Scotland later on and England | 3:37:58 | 3:38:02 | |
fail to beat France in Paris than
Ireland will have won their third | 3:38:02 | 3:38:07 | |
six Nations title in five years. We
could well see a party in Dublin | 3:38:07 | 3:38:10 | |
later. What an achievement it would
be for Ireland, not only the | 3:38:10 | 3:38:16 | |
championship, which they can clinch
today, but next Sunday, possibly on | 3:38:16 | 3:38:21 | |
Saint Patrick's weekend at
Twickenham, the grandson for them? | 3:38:21 | 3:38:24 | |
Absolutely, that's what we are
gearing towards. A lot of people | 3:38:24 | 3:38:28 | |
were predicting before the
tournament that we would see England | 3:38:28 | 3:38:31 | |
and Ireland potentially win all
their matches and then we would have | 3:38:31 | 3:38:35 | |
seen that title decider, Grand Slam
deciding match at Twickenham next | 3:38:35 | 3:38:38 | |
weekend, where Ireland travel to
play England, but Scotland blew that | 3:38:38 | 3:38:43 | |
apart, beating England two weeks
ago. I think that's certainly what | 3:38:43 | 3:38:47 | |
we are looking towards, and we wait
to see whether England can go there | 3:38:47 | 3:38:50 | |
with something still to play for
because they need to match the | 3:38:50 | 3:38:54 | |
result Ireland produce here against
Scotland later to keep their hopes | 3:38:54 | 3:38:58 | |
of winning what would be a third six
Nations title alive. Nobody has ever | 3:38:58 | 3:39:03 | |
won 36 Nations title in a row. At
least England know what they have to | 3:39:03 | 3:39:09 | |
do in Paris because the Scotland and
Ireland match will be over. -- big | 3:39:09 | 3:39:14 | |
because nobody has ever won three
six Nations in a row. | 3:39:17 | 3:39:25 | |
six Nations in a row. Only the late
Johnny Sexton drop goal salvaged | 3:39:26 | 3:39:28 | |
something for Ireland against
France. Everybody keeping eye on | 3:39:28 | 3:39:33 | |
conditions in Paris. It looks like
it will be dry. That will be key, | 3:39:33 | 3:39:37 | |
because if you want to score tries
you need fast flowing rugby and you | 3:39:37 | 3:39:40 | |
need to get the ball into hands.
England have picked a team that can | 3:39:40 | 3:39:43 | |
provide that attacking threat. Mike
Brown has dropped out at full-back | 3:39:43 | 3:39:48 | |
with Anthony Watson coming in and
Elliot Daly on the wing and jolly | 3:39:48 | 3:39:54 | |
day as well. -- Jonny May as well.
Dylan Hartley, the captain, misses | 3:39:54 | 3:40:03 | |
out with injury so Owen Farrell
steps up to captain the side. A good | 3:40:03 | 3:40:08 | |
chance for him to cement his captain
credentials. If they want to score, | 3:40:08 | 3:40:15 | |
they will need the ball in hand.
Let's hope the rain holds off | 3:40:15 | 3:40:18 | |
certainly for English hopes later
on. John Watson from his perch | 3:40:18 | 3:40:22 | |
overlooking the Aviva Stadium in
Dublin. | 3:40:22 | 3:40:26 | |
Manchester City may be flying ahead
in the Premier League title race, | 3:40:26 | 3:40:29 | |
but the fight for second place
is warming up nicely. | 3:40:29 | 3:40:31 | |
Two of the contenders meet
at lunchtime, with Manchester United | 3:40:31 | 3:40:33 | |
facing Liverpool at Old Trafford. | 3:40:33 | 3:40:35 | |
They played out a goalless draw,
when they last met back in October, | 3:40:35 | 3:40:40 | |
with United's defence tying
Liverpool's attack in knots. | 3:40:40 | 3:40:44 | |
It is not a battle of
systems or philosophies. | 3:40:44 | 3:40:48 | |
It's two very good football teams
who face each other. | 3:40:48 | 3:40:53 | |
When United will attack,
I hope all my players | 3:40:53 | 3:40:55 | |
are involved in defending,
to be honest. | 3:40:55 | 3:41:00 | |
If somebody says we are parking
the bus in that moment, | 3:41:00 | 3:41:02 | |
then we park the bus,
I have no problem with that. | 3:41:02 | 3:41:07 | |
All the old cliches alive today. | 3:41:07 | 3:41:10 | |
In the Scottish Premiership,
we have Rangers against Celtic | 3:41:10 | 3:41:12 | |
in the Old Firm derby tomorrow. | 3:41:12 | 3:41:14 | |
Last night, Hibernian
moved 12 points clear | 3:41:14 | 3:41:16 | |
of neighbours Hearts
with a 2-0 win at Easter Road. | 3:41:16 | 3:41:20 | |
Hibs are now just a point behind
third-placed Aberdeen. | 3:41:20 | 3:41:26 | |
It's now six one-day series wins in
a row for England's cricketers. It | 3:41:27 | 3:41:35 | |
might not be happening in the Test
series, but it is in the 1-dayers. | 3:41:35 | 3:41:39 | |
Jonny Bairstow hit a century,
as England beat New Zealand by seven | 3:41:39 | 3:41:42 | |
wickets in Christchurch to win
the one-day series, 3-2. | 3:41:42 | 3:41:44 | |
Chris Woakes bowled
brilliantly, taking 3-32. | 3:41:44 | 3:41:46 | |
Adil Rashid also claimed three
wickets as the Black Caps | 3:41:46 | 3:41:48 | |
were bowled out for 223 and England
reached their target with the loss | 3:41:48 | 3:41:51 | |
of just three wickets. | 3:41:51 | 3:41:53 | |
They go onto a Test series later
this month against New Zealand. | 3:41:53 | 3:41:57 | |
In tennis, British number one
Johanna Konta, said defeat | 3:41:57 | 3:41:59 | |
in the second round at Indian Wells,
was one of the tougher | 3:41:59 | 3:42:02 | |
losses of her career. | 3:42:02 | 3:42:09 | |
She was beaten in straight sets
by 18-year old Marketa Vondrousova, | 3:42:09 | 3:42:12 | |
ranked 54th in the world. | 3:42:12 | 3:42:13 | |
Konta has won only eight matches,
since she reached the semi-finals | 3:42:13 | 3:42:15 | |
at Wimbledon last summer. | 3:42:15 | 3:42:16 | |
Rory McIlroy's Masters preparations
are not going to plan. | 3:42:16 | 3:42:19 | |
He's missed the cut
at the Valspar Championship | 3:42:19 | 3:42:21 | |
in Florida, after
another over-par round. | 3:42:21 | 3:42:24 | |
Canada's Corey Conners,
still leads, with Tiger Woods | 3:42:24 | 3:42:26 | |
only two shots behind. | 3:42:26 | 3:42:33 | |
It's less than a month until
the start of the Commonwealth Games, | 3:42:33 | 3:42:38 | |
and the home nations,
plus some islands, are preparing | 3:42:38 | 3:42:42 | |
to head to Australia's gold coast. | 3:42:42 | 3:42:45 | |
They all compete separately. | 3:42:45 | 3:42:47 | |
In the lead up to the games,
I've been meeting some of the medals | 3:42:47 | 3:42:51 | |
hopes from each team. | 3:42:51 | 3:42:52 | |
This week I've been to Wales
to meet an extraordinary | 3:42:52 | 3:42:54 | |
table tennis player -
who's only 11. | 3:42:54 | 3:42:59 | |
Your first year at secondary school
is a big step in life. | 3:42:59 | 3:43:02 | |
But maybe not if you're Anna,
who at the age of 11 | 3:43:02 | 3:43:05 | |
is about to represent her country
on the other side of the world, | 3:43:05 | 3:43:08 | |
and at the same time,
rewrite the history books. | 3:43:08 | 3:43:15 | |
DANCE MUSIC. | 3:43:15 | 3:43:20 | |
Now, these pictures
haven't been sped up. | 3:43:20 | 3:43:22 | |
This is how good Anna is. | 3:43:22 | 3:43:25 | |
At school, in her lunch hour,
she doesn't give anybody a chance, | 3:43:25 | 3:43:28 | |
as she builds up to competing
at the senior Commonwealth | 3:43:28 | 3:43:31 | |
Games in Australia. | 3:43:31 | 3:43:39 | |
Feels really good, feels exciting. | 3:43:39 | 3:43:40 | |
I am a bit nervous. | 3:43:40 | 3:43:41 | |
Seeing new countries,
and making new friends. | 3:43:41 | 3:43:47 | |
It is mesmerising watching Anna,
who, just remember, only recently | 3:43:47 | 3:43:52 | |
left primary school and has
already graduated to | 3:43:52 | 3:43:54 | |
the Commonwealth games,
thought to be the youngest athlete | 3:43:54 | 3:43:56 | |
in history to do so. | 3:43:56 | 3:44:00 | |
Certainly giving John who runs the
table tennis club here right | 3:44:00 | 3:44:03 | |
thrashing. | 3:44:03 | 3:44:05 | |
No shame, John! | 3:44:05 | 3:44:08 | |
It is breathtaking how fast
she is, it is remarkable. | 3:44:08 | 3:44:10 | |
We're very lucky as a school
to have her here. | 3:44:10 | 3:44:13 | |
I think she's going to do her school
proud and do Wales proud as well. | 3:44:13 | 3:44:21 | |
She's really nice and we didn't know
at first that she was playing | 3:44:21 | 3:44:24 | |
when we were in primary. | 3:44:24 | 3:44:28 | |
It's really amazing how she is just
11 years old and she beats | 3:44:28 | 3:44:31 | |
all the adult players. | 3:44:31 | 3:44:32 | |
Anna started playing table
tennis when she was five | 3:44:32 | 3:44:35 | |
and because there are not enough
players of her standard in Wales, | 3:44:35 | 3:44:37 | |
she has recently spent time training
in China against the best | 3:44:37 | 3:44:40 | |
in the world. | 3:44:40 | 3:44:42 | |
OK, Anna, I'm very
nervous about this. | 3:44:42 | 3:44:45 | |
You're going to make mincemeat out
of me! | 3:44:45 | 3:44:50 | |
This humiliation, as it is with most
of the people she plays. This is | 3:44:57 | 3:45:02 | |
what she's going to try to do... | 3:45:02 | 3:45:08 | |
That spin! | 3:45:09 | 3:45:10 | |
Look at that! | 3:45:10 | 3:45:11 | |
This is what Anna will be doing,
I'm sure, to many senior | 3:45:11 | 3:45:14 | |
players on the Gold Coast. | 3:45:14 | 3:45:15 | |
You have to be really fast. | 3:45:15 | 3:45:19 | |
The spin there! | 3:45:19 | 3:45:20 | |
That is crazy. | 3:45:20 | 3:45:21 | |
Sorry. | 3:45:21 | 3:45:22 | |
You have to be, like,
thinking quick, which ball | 3:45:22 | 3:45:24 | |
you're going to hit,
what you are going to do, | 3:45:24 | 3:45:28 | |
plan it before you play your point
and then you rest for three seconds | 3:45:28 | 3:45:30 | |
and then you play again. | 3:45:30 | 3:45:31 | |
Just think about it. | 3:45:31 | 3:45:33 | |
Anna now spends over three hours
a day perfecting her shots | 3:45:33 | 3:45:36 | |
because she wants to show the world
she is not going to the Gold Coast | 3:45:36 | 3:45:40 | |
just for the experience. | 3:45:40 | 3:45:41 | |
I'm going there to try to win. | 3:45:41 | 3:45:45 | |
Are you? | 3:45:45 | 3:45:46 | |
What would it mean to get a medal? | 3:45:46 | 3:45:48 | |
It would mean a lot. | 3:45:48 | 3:45:53 | |
There's no pressure,
you just have to play your game. | 3:45:53 | 3:45:56 | |
And do your best. I feel like it's
going to be big. I saw some videos | 3:45:56 | 3:46:01 | |
last time, so many people, I don't
know how many. | 3:46:01 | 3:46:05 | |
you would see it leave her bat.
Almost like a snake, it would bounce | 3:46:13 | 3:46:19 | |
on me, then the other way, then
twist. | 3:46:19 | 3:46:23 | |
If you manage to get any contact, it
will hit the net or go to the other | 3:46:23 | 3:46:29 | |
side of the room, the next
classroom, maybe. It will inspire | 3:46:29 | 3:46:33 | |
those competing at the UK schools
table tennis Championships taking | 3:46:33 | 3:46:36 | |
place at Hinkley today.
You're talking about football in a | 3:46:36 | 3:46:41 | |
minute?
Yes, a big passion of mine, and | 3:46:41 | 3:46:48 | |
Tommy Charlton, the Big Brother of
Bobby and Jack, will be going for a | 3:46:48 | 3:46:51 | |
football trial. | 3:46:51 | 3:46:53 | |
Some parts of Britain are set
to see their hottest day of the year | 3:46:53 | 3:46:56 | |
so far today with some lucky people
getting temperatures | 3:46:56 | 3:46:59 | |
in the mid-teens. | 3:46:59 | 3:47:00 | |
You can hold off packing away
the winter clothes in Scotland, | 3:47:00 | 3:47:02 | |
though, because rain,
hill snow and brisk winds | 3:47:02 | 3:47:04 | |
will keep temperatures
hovering around 5 degrees. | 3:47:04 | 3:47:06 | |
Let's not dwell on the cold, though. | 3:47:06 | 3:47:08 | |
We thought we'd bring
you some lovely pictures | 3:47:08 | 3:47:09 | |
of the first signs of spring. | 3:47:09 | 3:47:12 | |
We will dwell on the worm bits. --
warm bits. | 3:47:12 | 3:47:25 | |
That was very epic music. It was, I
felt swept away. | 3:47:32 | 3:47:36 | |
It was like a couple were going to
be reunited on the clifftop. | 3:47:36 | 3:47:39 | |
Or on the sofa. Let's find out what | 3:47:39 | 3:47:43 | |
be reunited on the clifftop.
Or on the sofa. Let's find out what | 3:47:43 | 3:47:44 | |
is happening. They were lovely
pictures. Amazing. I put in a | 3:47:44 | 3:47:49 | |
request for a glamorous music Bangar
graphics but it has fallen on deaf | 3:47:49 | 3:47:53 | |
ears. Please feel free to sing
along. I have some spring photos for | 3:47:53 | 3:47:57 | |
you but this is the story in Greater
London this morning, lovely sunny | 3:47:57 | 3:48:02 | |
spells coming through. We could see
temperatures of 15 degrees. Any | 3:48:02 | 3:48:07 | |
higher than that, it will be the
worm is Deysel for this year. I am | 3:48:07 | 3:48:13 | |
sure we will peak higher than that
over the next few months. Cloudy, | 3:48:13 | 3:48:21 | |
damp, rainy and Hull. The rain is
responsible for the mild air. Ban | 3:48:21 | 3:48:26 | |
the weather front we are seeing a
southerly wind pushing through. The | 3:48:26 | 3:48:29 | |
yellow denotes where the male deer
will drift north as we go through | 3:48:29 | 3:48:34 | |
the day. Milder for all others, but
wet for some. You can see that | 3:48:34 | 3:48:40 | |
clearly. There will be held snow
across Scotland as well. The next | 3:48:40 | 3:48:45 | |
weather front will be sherry in
nature so that means if you're | 3:48:45 | 3:48:48 | |
heading to the Six Nations to watch
Ireland, be for some rain. For the | 3:48:48 | 3:48:54 | |
England match, it should be dry. 16
degrees, pleasant enough. Closer to | 3:48:54 | 3:49:00 | |
home, the rain sits through Northern
Ireland, northern England and | 3:49:00 | 3:49:05 | |
stretches into Scotland. A little
wet sleet and snow but it will turn | 3:49:05 | 3:49:08 | |
to rain by the middle of the
afternoon, so we do not have cause | 3:49:08 | 3:49:12 | |
for concern. Milder air will
develop, 4-8d the high. 10 degrees | 3:49:12 | 3:49:19 | |
in Northern Ireland despite the
rain. North-west England, close to | 3:49:19 | 3:49:24 | |
the Lake District, heavier pulses of
rain in the afternoon. For Wales, | 3:49:24 | 3:49:28 | |
the Midlands and further south,
surely bits and pieces and if the | 3:49:28 | 3:49:32 | |
cloud breaks, temperatures will
rise. Generally around 14 degrees. | 3:49:32 | 3:49:38 | |
Fingers crossed for hire. The rain
will continue to drift over the | 3:49:38 | 3:49:42 | |
North and will sit in the Northern
Isles for much of Sunday. The light | 3:49:42 | 3:49:48 | |
winds will allow overnight fog to
form and that could be a nuisance | 3:49:48 | 3:49:52 | |
first thing in the morning. Eastern
England could be murky for Mothering | 3:49:52 | 3:49:59 | |
Sunday first thing. Hopefully it
will lift and we will see dry | 3:49:59 | 3:50:03 | |
weather for many. Showers developing
in the south and west. Some will | 3:50:03 | 3:50:06 | |
drift into Wales and the Midlands.
Some will be heavy and sundry. For a | 3:50:06 | 3:50:14 | |
the North, Northern Ireland and
Scotland, 11 degrees lives possible | 3:50:14 | 3:50:17 | |
and it will be a quiet story for
many. All good news, but it look | 3:50:17 | 3:50:24 | |
side we will see more rain on Mundy
in the size and a quiet spell from | 3:50:24 | 3:50:28 | |
Tuesday onwards. | 3:50:28 | 3:50:29 | |
in the size and a quiet spell from
Tuesday onwards. More details | 3:50:29 | 3:50:31 | |
tomorrow. Take care. I will see you
tomorrow as well. Have a good day. | 3:50:31 | 3:50:36 | |
More often than not,
after a baby's born, | 3:50:38 | 3:50:40 | |
the umbilical cord is thrown away,
and along with it a vital source | 3:50:40 | 3:50:43 | |
of blood stem cells. | 3:50:43 | 3:50:44 | |
This blood can be a lifeline
for people with genetic disorders | 3:50:44 | 3:50:47 | |
and cancers like leukaemia,
but there's been a steady decline | 3:50:47 | 3:50:49 | |
in donations since 2014. | 3:50:49 | 3:50:50 | |
Steph's been finding out more. | 3:50:50 | 3:50:51 | |
Now, when it comes to having a baby,
donating the placenta is probably | 3:50:51 | 3:50:55 | |
not something you have
given much thought. | 3:50:55 | 3:50:58 | |
But it is exactly what actress
and my mate Kellie Shirley did. | 3:50:58 | 3:51:01 | |
So why did you decide
to donate cord blood? | 3:51:01 | 3:51:05 | |
I found out that lots of places end
up just chucking the cord away. | 3:51:05 | 3:51:10 | |
And these people actually
keep the cord blood, | 3:51:10 | 3:51:14 | |
and they can harvest it for stem
cells for use with blood cancer. | 3:51:14 | 3:51:19 | |
So I had a boy and a girl,
and the two placentas, | 3:51:19 | 3:51:22 | |
and we think that Louie was a match
for somebody, which was | 3:51:22 | 3:51:26 | |
really, really amazing. | 3:51:26 | 3:51:28 | |
He's a little legend,
Louie, and Pearl is. | 3:51:28 | 3:51:35 | |
Only ten hospitals in the UK,
like this one, have a dedicated team | 3:51:35 | 3:51:38 | |
of cord collectors like Zoe,
who is on hand to | 3:51:38 | 3:51:42 | |
help mothers willing to donate. | 3:51:42 | 3:51:43 | |
So Zoe, this is where you collect
the cord, isn't it? | 3:51:43 | 3:51:46 | |
It is a bit much to show on telly,
but explain what happens. | 3:51:46 | 3:51:49 | |
So once we have got the placenta,
we bring the placenta up | 3:51:49 | 3:51:52 | |
here and carry out a collection. | 3:51:52 | 3:51:53 | |
We insert the needle
into the cord and drain as much | 3:51:53 | 3:51:56 | |
blood from the placenta. | 3:51:56 | 3:51:58 | |
The placenta is rich in stem cells,
so the blood that we do collect | 3:51:58 | 3:52:01 | |
from it can be used to transplant. | 3:52:01 | 3:52:04 | |
So if you don't collect
these placentas, they | 3:52:04 | 3:52:06 | |
just get chucked away? | 3:52:06 | 3:52:07 | |
It does, it only gets
thrown in the bin. | 3:52:07 | 3:52:10 | |
So we have a cord collection
from what we have just collected. | 3:52:10 | 3:52:12 | |
That is the blood we had just
collected, and that is the blood | 3:52:12 | 3:52:18 | |
That is the blood we had just
collected, and that is the cord | 3:52:18 | 3:52:21 | |
we take from the placenta. | 3:52:21 | 3:52:22 | |
So it it has literally just come
from the woman's body. | 3:52:22 | 3:52:25 | |
It has. | 3:52:25 | 3:52:26 | |
So what happens now? | 3:52:26 | 3:52:27 | |
It gets tested to see
if there is enough stem cells in, | 3:52:27 | 3:52:30 | |
and once that is done,
we determine if it's good | 3:52:30 | 3:52:32 | |
enough for translate. | 3:52:32 | 3:52:33 | |
Of course, it is a decision every
family has to make for themselves. | 3:52:33 | 3:52:36 | |
We popped in to see Sophie just
before her Caesarean, | 3:52:36 | 3:52:39 | |
to ask why she is going to donate. | 3:52:39 | 3:52:41 | |
So with my first, I didn't
even know about it. | 3:52:41 | 3:52:43 | |
I didn't see any posters
and wasn't told about it. | 3:52:43 | 3:52:46 | |
And then with the second,
the midwife mentioned it at one | 3:52:46 | 3:52:52 | |
of my community midwife chats,
and then a lot of my | 3:52:52 | 3:52:54 | |
friends who were pregnant
in Sunderland were like, | 3:52:54 | 3:52:56 | |
oh, that is amazing,
how have you done that? | 3:52:56 | 3:53:03 | |
We want to do it,
but then they couldn't, | 3:53:03 | 3:53:05 | |
because they don't do it
in Newcastle or Sunderland. | 3:53:05 | 3:53:07 | |
It is a no-brainer for me. | 3:53:07 | 3:53:09 | |
It's something I keep
saying, as well. | 3:53:09 | 3:53:10 | |
It's become a catchphrase. | 3:53:10 | 3:53:11 | |
It's a no-brainer. | 3:53:11 | 3:53:12 | |
Yes, totally. | 3:53:12 | 3:53:13 | |
But having dedicated collectors
on call 24/7 is costly. | 3:53:13 | 3:53:16 | |
NHS Blood and Transplant say
they deliberately target hospitals | 3:53:16 | 3:53:19 | |
and communities that often struggle
to find a stem cell match. | 3:53:19 | 3:53:25 | |
Look, just a couple of hours
after we left, Sonny arrived, | 3:53:25 | 3:53:29 | |
and before he had opened his little
eyes, he had already done | 3:53:29 | 3:53:32 | |
something good in the world. | 3:53:32 | 3:53:33 | |
Now, that is worth screaming about. | 3:53:33 | 3:53:39 | |
Right on cue. | 3:53:39 | 3:53:43 | |
It's more than 50 years since that
wonderful moment when Jack | 3:53:43 | 3:53:45 | |
and Sir Bobby Charlton lifted
the World Cup, but now | 3:53:45 | 3:53:48 | |
another Charlton is hoping
to play for his country. | 3:53:48 | 3:53:50 | |
Younger brother Tommy had
to retire from football | 3:53:50 | 3:53:52 | |
after an injury in his 20s. | 3:53:52 | 3:53:59 | |
Now in his 70s, he has had a trial
for the over-60s national | 3:53:59 | 3:54:02 | |
walking football team. | 3:54:02 | 3:54:03 | |
Tommy joins us now,
with Paul Carr from the Walking | 3:54:03 | 3:54:06 | |
Football Association. | 3:54:06 | 3:54:09 | |
And another fan of walking football,
Mike Bushell. You love it? Poll and | 3:54:09 | 3:54:15 | |
I helped launch it but we did the
first piece in Bury in Chesterfield | 3:54:15 | 3:54:19 | |
five years ago. I love the way it is
run. It has led to similar versions | 3:54:19 | 3:54:25 | |
of other sports, rugby, basketball,
netball. I am fascinated to see how | 3:54:25 | 3:54:30 | |
Tommy has done, entering into the
England team later today. Being | 3:54:30 | 3:54:35 | |
realistic, there are an awful lot of
very good footballers playing. | 3:54:35 | 3:54:40 | |
You're very good, and you? No. What
sort of person would I beat is | 3:54:40 | 3:54:45 | |
saying yes that.
Honest. In your 20s, you were | 3:54:45 | 3:54:49 | |
playing professionally? No, I played
amateur football. And you watch your | 3:54:49 | 3:54:54 | |
brothers as they went on to do
amazing things, obviously. Yes. On a | 3:54:54 | 3:55:00 | |
fitness level, what have you done
sports wise over the years? I have | 3:55:00 | 3:55:04 | |
been in the mines rescue service
where you had to be really fit. We | 3:55:04 | 3:55:08 | |
played football three times a week,
that was marvellous, it got me back | 3:55:08 | 3:55:13 | |
into it. The walking football came
along about five years ago, | 3:55:13 | 3:55:17 | |
Rotherham United. The sports
community trust started it up and I | 3:55:17 | 3:55:24 | |
had a lick and had a go. I do not
know if you can read, mature Millers | 3:55:24 | 3:55:30 | |
Association.
How old do you have to be to play | 3:55:30 | 3:55:34 | |
walking football? What are the
qualifications? Over 50. We do | 3:55:34 | 3:55:38 | |
occasionally get young lads coming
along and having a go. We played | 3:55:38 | 3:55:42 | |
against young ladies. I was just
telling you, one young lady in | 3:55:42 | 3:55:47 | |
particular, she kicked me all over
the park. People might think, it is | 3:55:47 | 3:55:53 | |
people ambling around, but it is
really intense and quite hard not to | 3:55:53 | 3:55:57 | |
break into a run. How do you find it
in terms of the physical side | 3:55:57 | 3:56:00 | |
because it is an intense game? You
have got to be fit, but the point I | 3:56:00 | 3:56:05 | |
always try to make is that to get
people to have a go at walking | 3:56:05 | 3:56:09 | |
football, one of the benefits is you
automatically get more of it, not | 3:56:09 | 3:56:14 | |
only physically, but mentally. It
has done wonders for me. You look | 3:56:14 | 3:56:19 | |
very well, may I say. What are the
rules? How do you distinguish | 3:56:19 | 3:56:25 | |
between walking football and
breaking the rules? That is one of | 3:56:25 | 3:56:30 | |
big challenges. You're not supposed
to run. Lots of people are coming to | 3:56:30 | 3:56:34 | |
football find that difficult. You're
meant to keep one part of one foot | 3:56:34 | 3:56:40 | |
on the ground at all times. No
contact as well because it needs to | 3:56:40 | 3:56:45 | |
be a safe sport. We have
50-year-olds playing against | 3:56:45 | 3:56:47 | |
70-year-olds and we do not want
anyone to get injured. My impression | 3:56:47 | 3:56:52 | |
watching that, when people are
celebrating, they were running then. | 3:56:52 | 3:56:56 | |
Is that OK? There is still the
excitement, even in walking | 3:56:56 | 3:57:00 | |
football. When you kick the ball,
with the delay to leave the ground? | 3:57:00 | 3:57:07 | |
In theory, probably not, but we let
them get away with it. It is all | 3:57:07 | 3:57:11 | |
about fun, fitness and friendship.
Tommy, you're angling to get into | 3:57:11 | 3:57:18 | |
what team and represent... ? There
is an England team organised by | 3:57:18 | 3:57:22 | |
Stuart Langley. He is doing lots of
very good work. He is the manager of | 3:57:22 | 3:57:27 | |
the team. There is a selection
process going on as we talk. I am | 3:57:27 | 3:57:32 | |
going to have a go this afternoon
and see if you think Samworth it. | 3:57:32 | 3:57:37 | |
Have your brothers giving you any
advice, any top tips? The only thing | 3:57:37 | 3:57:43 | |
I can remember Jack saying is I am a
silly old... By the is delighted, | 3:57:43 | 3:57:47 | |
obviously. I would like to think, I
have been so proud of them over the | 3:57:47 | 3:57:56 | |
years, that maybe I could date -- do
something and they would be proud of | 3:57:56 | 3:57:59 | |
me. I am sure other people are
thinking, the family resemblance is | 3:57:59 | 3:58:04 | |
very clear. The smile. Do you get
mistaken for your brothers and | 3:58:04 | 3:58:12 | |
congratulated on your success in the
World Cup quite a lot? It does | 3:58:12 | 3:58:16 | |
happen. Do you correct people? I
keep saying, you should have gone to | 3:58:16 | 3:58:22 | |
Specsavers. Walking football really
improves your passing, so maybe you | 3:58:22 | 3:58:25 | |
have something to offer to the rest
of the Charlton family. In later | 3:58:25 | 3:58:29 | |
years, the passing skills. I have a
little story that I tell about Bob. | 3:58:29 | 3:58:35 | |
When I was in the miners rescued
when we played three times a week, | 3:58:35 | 3:58:40 | |
he stayed with us. I got them some
trainers and said, have a game with | 3:58:40 | 3:58:43 | |
the boys. We spun for who got first
take and I won. I will have him. At | 3:58:43 | 3:58:49 | |
half-time we were 7-0 up, and I had
scored seven and Bob had laid them | 3:58:49 | 3:58:55 | |
all and for me, it was marvellous.
Next thing, Bob went on the other | 3:58:55 | 3:59:00 | |
side. So he went on the other side,
and we lost 8-7. We are just hoping | 3:59:00 | 3:59:07 | |
that Tommy is good enough.
Lovely to see you both. | 3:59:07 | 3:59:10 | |
Fingers crossed for the selection.
Thank you very much. | 3:59:10 | 3:59:14 | |
That's it for today. | 3:59:14 | 3:59:16 | |
Breakfast will be
back at 6 tomorrow. | 3:59:16 | 3:59:21 | |
Have a lovely day. Goodbye. | 3:59:21 | 3:59:24 |
