0:00:03 > 0:00:05Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:00:05 > 0:00:12The entertainer Sir Ken Dodd has died at the age of 90.

0:00:12 > 0:00:15# Happiness, happiness.

0:00:15 > 0:00:18The Liverpudlian comic famous for his epic stand-up shows

0:00:18 > 0:00:22and his tickling stick died in the home he was born in just days

0:00:22 > 0:00:29after marrying his long-term partner.

0:00:29 > 0:00:32We shall have one or two glasses of tickle tonic,

0:00:32 > 0:00:36and then we should go back up north to Merseyside and I shall see

0:00:36 > 0:00:44the Diddy Men there, so I shall send your regards to them.

0:00:55 > 0:00:58We'll look back at Sir Ken's life and work.

0:00:58 > 0:00:59Good morning.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00It's Monday the 12th of March.

0:01:00 > 0:01:01Also this morning:

0:01:01 > 0:01:04The Russian spy mystery - Theresa May chairs a meeting

0:01:04 > 0:01:07of her national security chiefs as 500 people in Salisbury are told

0:01:07 > 0:01:09to wash their clothes as a precaution.

0:01:09 > 0:01:11We have unprecedented access to a secure mental health hospital

0:01:11 > 0:01:18as we find out why admissions have gone up by 40% in a decade.

0:01:18 > 0:01:21Small- and medium-sized businesses are losing out on billions of pounds

0:01:21 > 0:01:23worth of sales because of a skills shortage.

0:01:23 > 0:01:27I'll have the details later.

0:01:27 > 0:01:30In sport, the snowboarders make their debuts at the Winter

0:01:30 > 0:01:31Paralympics.

0:01:31 > 0:01:33Owen Pick is among those ready to go.

0:01:33 > 0:01:36He led out the Great Britain team at the opening ceremony.

0:01:36 > 0:01:40And Matt has the weather.

0:01:40 > 0:01:46Good morning. Good morning. Frost free across the UK to start but if

0:01:46 > 0:01:50you are in England, Wales or Northern Ireland, drop your brolly.

0:01:50 > 0:01:53Plenty of showers around today. -- crab.

0:01:53 > 0:01:56Sir Ken Dodd, the much-loved comedian, has died at the age of 90.

0:01:56 > 0:02:00Described by his publicist as "one of the last music hall greats"

0:02:00 > 0:02:03Sir Ken was known for his marathon stage performances and the creation

0:02:03 > 0:02:05of the Diddy Men and the tickling stick.

0:02:05 > 0:02:08The performer from Liverpool had recently been released from hospital

0:02:08 > 0:02:11after six weeks of treatment for a chest infection.

0:02:11 > 0:02:15On Friday, he married his partner of 40 years, Anne Jones.

0:02:15 > 0:02:21Caroline Davies looks back at his life.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24Tickling sticks and Diddy Men.

0:02:24 > 0:02:32Ken Dodd was a great performer with a gift for the surreal...

0:02:37 > 0:02:41What a brilliant day to go up to the count and say you will never

0:02:41 > 0:02:42sell a sausage in that size.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45..and the love of a catchphrase or three.

0:02:45 > 0:02:47How tickled by all of this goodwill.

0:02:47 > 0:02:48What about you, Mrs?

0:02:48 > 0:02:50Have you been tickled by goodwill?

0:02:50 > 0:02:52Proud of his Merseyside roots, he became a chart-topping singer,

0:02:52 > 0:03:00a television star, and a ventriloquist.

0:03:01 > 0:03:03Although silly on stage, Sir Ken Dodd was serious

0:03:03 > 0:03:11about his craft.

0:03:11 > 0:03:14Freud said that a laugh is a sudden explosion of psychic energy.

0:03:14 > 0:03:17The trouble with Freud was he never played a second house Friday night.

0:03:17 > 0:03:22He still lived in the home he grew up in and guarded his private life.

0:03:22 > 0:03:27In 1989, that was shattered when he faced claims of tax evasion.

0:03:27 > 0:03:33He had more than £300,000 hidden around his house.

0:03:33 > 0:03:34He had 20 offshore bank accounts.

0:03:34 > 0:03:37He was acquitted and continued performing.

0:03:37 > 0:03:40Last year, he was given a knighthood in recognition of his charity

0:03:40 > 0:03:46and comedy work.

0:03:46 > 0:03:49We shall have one or two glasses of tickle tonic,

0:03:49 > 0:03:55and then we should go back to Knotty Ash

0:03:55 > 0:03:58up north, Knotty Ash on Merseyside, and I shall see the Diddy Men there,

0:03:58 > 0:04:01so I shall send your regards to them.

0:04:01 > 0:04:04Aged 90, he recently got a chest infection but wanted to go

0:04:04 > 0:04:05back on stage.

0:04:05 > 0:04:08I look forward to getting back to doing my job -

0:04:08 > 0:04:14the only job that I have ever had, the only job that I know.

0:04:14 > 0:04:15Happiness, happiness.

0:04:15 > 0:04:18After more than 60 years of making others laugh,

0:04:18 > 0:04:21it was performing to the British public that Sir Ken Dodd said

0:04:21 > 0:04:23gave him enormous happiness.

0:04:23 > 0:04:30Happiness!

0:04:30 > 0:04:34Some of Ken Dodd's fans and former colleagues have been paying tribute.

0:04:34 > 0:04:40Actor Claire Sweeney said:

0:04:48 > 0:04:55Actor John Challis wrote:

0:04:55 > 0:04:57And comedian Gary Delaney made reference to how long Ken Dodd's

0:04:57 > 0:05:00shows went on for, saying:

0:05:12 > 0:05:16I'm sure he would have appreciated that joke. Do send in your tributes

0:05:16 > 0:05:17throughout the morning as well.

0:05:17 > 0:05:20The National Security Council is to look at the latest evidence

0:05:20 > 0:05:23of the suspected poisoning of a former Russian double agent

0:05:23 > 0:05:24and his daughter.

0:05:24 > 0:05:27An assessment will be made on who might have carried out

0:05:27 > 0:05:28the nerve agent attack.

0:05:28 > 0:05:30Sergei and Yulia Skripal remain critically ill in hospital.

0:05:30 > 0:05:33Our political correspondent Ben Wright's in our Westminster

0:05:33 > 0:05:36studio for us this morning.

0:05:36 > 0:05:41Good morning, bend. There are thoughts that perhaps Theresa May

0:05:41 > 0:05:46might be saying something about this today.What can you tell us? Yes,

0:05:46 > 0:05:49eight days on so far the government has been incredibly weary about

0:05:49 > 0:05:54saying anything explicit about who may be behind this, even though some

0:05:54 > 0:05:58Tory MPs and later MPs, actually, last week, were urging them to point

0:05:58 > 0:06:02the finger at the Russian state. Investors have not done that so far

0:06:02 > 0:06:06which may change today. We know the Prime Minister will get the latest

0:06:06 > 0:06:10intelligence assessment on her desk when she arrives at work and then

0:06:10 > 0:06:13the National security council will meet which brings together senior

0:06:13 > 0:06:16ministers who get briefings then from top counterterrorism officials

0:06:16 > 0:06:22across Whitehall. It may be that after that, the Prime Minister might

0:06:22 > 0:06:25say something publicly. There is speculation they could be a

0:06:25 > 0:06:28statement in the Commons perhaps this afternoon at which she might

0:06:28 > 0:06:31have the first time a first-time attribute blame for this. It could

0:06:31 > 0:06:36be quite a big day on that front but meanwhile in Salisbury, people are

0:06:36 > 0:06:38still having to wash their clothes and their possessions, people who

0:06:38 > 0:06:43may have been in either the pub or the restaurant insulted last Sunday

0:06:43 > 0:06:47into Monday that may have been contaminated. So still lots of

0:06:47 > 0:06:53moving parts with this.Absolutely, we will update everybody about what

0:06:53 > 0:06:57is happening in falsely, we will speak to a toxicologist later. Thank

0:06:57 > 0:06:57you.

0:06:57 > 0:07:01A bitter row has broken out at the top of the Labour Party

0:07:01 > 0:07:03with a shadow cabinet minister being removed from her post,

0:07:03 > 0:07:05apparently against her will.

0:07:05 > 0:07:07Labour says Debbie Abrahams stepped down as spokeswoman on Work

0:07:07 > 0:07:09and Pensions, while an employment issue is investigated.

0:07:09 > 0:07:13But Mrs Abrahams claims that she's the victim of a bullying culture

0:07:13 > 0:07:14in the party.

0:07:14 > 0:07:16At least two people have died after a helicopter crashed

0:07:16 > 0:07:19into the East River in New York last night.

0:07:19 > 0:07:21Three passengers are in critical condition after being pulled out

0:07:21 > 0:07:23of the water by rescuers.

0:07:23 > 0:07:24The pilot managed to free himself.

0:07:24 > 0:07:32An investigation will be held to determine the cause of the crash.

0:07:33 > 0:07:36The former commander of the UK's maritime forces says Britain's

0:07:36 > 0:07:39ability to "fight and win on the frontline" was being affected

0:07:39 > 0:07:40by budget cuts.

0:07:40 > 0:07:44Rear Admiral Alex Burton said the UK is at risk of losing its status

0:07:44 > 0:07:47as a "credible military power".

0:07:47 > 0:07:51He's the latest in a long line of senior military figures to call

0:07:51 > 0:07:52for more spending on defence.

0:07:52 > 0:07:54The government said spending is growing to meet ever-changing

0:07:54 > 0:07:57threats.

0:07:57 > 0:08:00In an interview with the BBC, Rear Admiral Alex Burton says

0:08:00 > 0:08:05spending on defence is urgently needed.

0:08:05 > 0:08:12If we do not spend more on defence than we currently are as a

0:08:12 > 0:08:17percentage of GDP, then we put at risk the fact that we are currently

0:08:17 > 0:08:22a credible military power and from that, we put at risk our position on

0:08:22 > 0:08:23the global stage.

0:08:23 > 0:08:26A new survey suggests almost two thirds of doctors in some parts

0:08:26 > 0:08:30of the UK feel patient safety has deteriorated over the past year.

0:08:30 > 0:08:33The report, by the Royal College of Physicians, found that growing

0:08:33 > 0:08:36pressures on NHS staff have led to concerns about patient care.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38The government says it's absolutely committed to making the NHS

0:08:38 > 0:08:44the safest healthcare system in the world.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47A council facing financial problems is facing allegations it used

0:08:47 > 0:08:49millions of pounds of money ring-fenced for public health

0:08:49 > 0:08:51to prop up other services.

0:08:51 > 0:08:53The BBC's Inside Out East programme has learned that

0:08:53 > 0:08:56Northamptonshire County Council may have to return as much as ten

0:08:56 > 0:09:04million pounds to Public Health England.

0:09:07 > 0:09:14Did you see a problem the weekend? I did not. Well, look at this.

0:09:14 > 0:09:17The annual Crufts dog show had to be temporarily halted after two

0:09:17 > 0:09:18protesters stormed the venue.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21As this year's winner, a 2.5-year-old whippet called Tease,

0:09:21 > 0:09:24made her way to the podium, this happened - two demonstrators

0:09:24 > 0:09:26from the animal rights group PETA emerged from the audience.

0:09:26 > 0:09:29They were quickly chased down and subdued by security staff.

0:09:29 > 0:09:31No animals or owners were harmed.

0:09:31 > 0:09:35Lots of people are talking about the fact that Tease was whipped up into

0:09:35 > 0:09:40the arms of her own. Clearly, slightly alarmed, to say the least.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42One of those very strange live TV moments.

0:09:42 > 0:09:45A teenage photographer's shots of The Beatles' first concerts

0:09:45 > 0:09:47in the United States are expected to sell for 250,000

0:09:47 > 0:09:48pounds at auction.

0:09:48 > 0:09:51Mike Mitchell, who was 18 at the time, took hundreds

0:09:51 > 0:09:54of pictures of the Fab Four's gigs at the Washington Coliseum

0:09:54 > 0:09:56and the Baltimore Civic Centre in 1964.

0:09:56 > 0:09:59He also attended their first press conference and captured the band's

0:09:59 > 0:10:06arrival at Union Station.

0:10:06 > 0:10:15Which brings us very nicely back to Ken Dodd. Did you know he's single

0:10:15 > 0:10:19tears was the third largest selling song in the UK of the entire 1960s

0:10:19 > 0:10:25and was only beaten by two tracks by the Beatles. Amazing. What is the

0:10:25 > 0:10:29comedian but well known to his singing. Good morning, Kate, you are

0:10:29 > 0:10:34back. I am, there is action still going on and I am a little bit sad

0:10:34 > 0:10:40not to be there. It is the turn of the Paralympic and is now and

0:10:40 > 0:10:46snowboarders. We were hoping to bring new pictures of Owen Pick who

0:10:46 > 0:10:50was waving the flag for Team GB at the opening ceremony that there has

0:10:50 > 0:10:56been a problem with the start date. I've been watching, yes. -- gate. We

0:10:56 > 0:11:02will bring you date with the curling which has started. Great Britain is

0:11:02 > 0:11:06out on the ice at the moment, leading Sweden in their latest

0:11:06 > 0:11:16round-robin match. They are in and true. -- end two.

0:11:16 > 0:11:19Tottenham and England fans will be waiting for the results of a scan

0:11:19 > 0:11:22today on Harry Kane's ankle after he was injured during Spurs'

0:11:22 > 0:11:244-1 win over Bournemouth.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Son Heung-Min scored twice to move Tottenham up to third in the table.

0:11:27 > 0:11:30George North scored two tries for Wales as they beat Italy

0:11:30 > 0:11:33in Cardiff to move up to second place in the Six Nations

0:11:33 > 0:11:36championship.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39And Tiger Woods came so close to winning his first title

0:11:39 > 0:11:40in over four years.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44He needed to sink this putt but he finished one shot behind

0:11:44 > 0:11:52winner Paul Casey at the Valspar Championship in Florida.

0:11:53 > 0:11:58He says though that he is feeling every day a little bit better and a

0:11:58 > 0:12:03little bit better. Lynch news for Paul Casey. 40 years old and he has

0:12:03 > 0:12:07not won anything for a long time. The Masters is only a few weeks away

0:12:07 > 0:12:12all looking good in the golfing world. Looking forward to - I was

0:12:12 > 0:12:17going to say a Atlanta, it is not near Atlanta, the Masters. Augusta!

0:12:17 > 0:12:20Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

0:12:20 > 0:12:24Good

0:12:24 > 0:12:29Good morning, it is the sum but not for all. Not a bad start of the

0:12:29 > 0:12:33working week. Reasonably mild and frost free, the driest of all in

0:12:33 > 0:12:36Scotland but elsewhere a case of take something waterproof with you

0:12:36 > 0:12:41as you leave today, particularly the England and Wales. Low pressure is

0:12:41 > 0:12:45on the scene. This tell-tale swell of cloud is going anticlockwise, the

0:12:45 > 0:12:49low pressure to the south which means the further away you are,

0:12:49 > 0:12:52Scotland, Northern Ireland, dry weather, one or two showers in the

0:12:52 > 0:12:55south and east of Northern Ireland, northern Ireland, sorry, Scotland

0:12:55 > 0:13:02should be a bright start. Looking at England and Wales today because it

0:13:02 > 0:13:05is here where you will get wet at times. Persistent rain across

0:13:05 > 0:13:09northern England continuing into the afternoon across Northumberland,

0:13:09 > 0:13:13County Durham into the north-west. Elsewhere scattered showers, maybe

0:13:13 > 0:13:16some brightness now and then but shall go through the south-east

0:13:16 > 0:13:20Midlands towards the south-east of England could become heavy and

0:13:20 > 0:13:23thundery. Some afternoon showers for Northern Ireland and one or two in

0:13:23 > 0:13:26the north-east of Scotland but primarily we see the dry weather

0:13:26 > 0:13:30here. Coolest in the North Sea coast but any brightness further south

0:13:30 > 0:13:33will figure temperatures yet again above where they should be for this

0:13:33 > 0:13:38time of year. In the evening, ran at times across England, it will

0:13:38 > 0:13:41continue on and off through the night to eastern areas. One or two

0:13:41 > 0:13:45showers elsewhere but with clear skies around tonight it will be a

0:13:45 > 0:13:48cold at night and last night, a touch of frost around for north and

0:13:48 > 0:13:52west into tomorrow morning, and of course we have seen some late

0:13:52 > 0:13:55showers just a small chance they could be a little bit ice. Into

0:13:55 > 0:13:59Tuesday, low pressure to the west coming in for Wednesday but a bump

0:13:59 > 0:14:03in the ice above, a ridge of high pressure, it tends to stop many of

0:14:03 > 0:14:08the show was forming, not all of them. Tomorrow we are likely to see

0:14:08 > 0:14:11wet weather in East Anglia, the south-east, it will clear away and

0:14:11 > 0:14:15one or two isolated showers through the day but most will have a dry day

0:14:15 > 0:14:18and certainly compared to the England and Wales, a good deal

0:14:18 > 0:14:21brighter, some sunny spells around and temperatures here and there into

0:14:21 > 0:14:27double figures. So, again, a mild enough day with light winds. It

0:14:27 > 0:14:30changes on Wednesday, a cool start towards the east, the win

0:14:30 > 0:14:33strengthening through the day, turning cloudy across many areas and

0:14:33 > 0:14:36through the day the western fringes of England, doesn't Scotland will

0:14:36 > 0:14:40see a recovering come and go. Most persistent through the afternoon,

0:14:40 > 0:14:43the reigning Northern Ireland, Southwest Wales and Cornwall, strong

0:14:43 > 0:14:47the gale force winds will dominate winds from the south, temperatures

0:14:47 > 0:14:51could get into the mid- teens are many areas on what will be a rural

0:14:51 > 0:14:55am old enough week. Some dry spells, the wet weather at times too but

0:14:55 > 0:14:59from it went onward to get increasingly windy and then there

0:14:59 > 0:15:03are signs down and Louise as we go to next weekend, we could see some

0:15:03 > 0:15:08cold weather returned. -- Dan. I will keep you updated. Not again!

0:15:08 > 0:15:12Seriously!

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Step has joined us as well.Let's have a look

0:15:20 > 0:15:22Step has joined us as well.Let's have a look at the front page of the

0:15:22 > 0:15:30papers. Theresa May set to hit back at Russia over spy attack. None of

0:15:30 > 0:15:39the papers have got the story about the death of Ken Dodd at the age of

0:15:39 > 0:15:4390, it is on the Internet site because it broke last night.The

0:15:43 > 0:15:50front page of the Telegraph. Officials face nerve agent backlash.

0:15:50 > 0:15:54We will be speaking to toxicologists later to find out what is known

0:15:54 > 0:16:00about this agent and also, look, this is the advice yesterday. Lots

0:16:00 > 0:16:05of viewers would have seen it. 500 people, diners, people who have been

0:16:05 > 0:16:13to the pub where Sergei had been having dinner. Wash their clothes

0:16:13 > 0:16:21and phones. Put it in a plastic bag if it needs to go to the dry

0:16:21 > 0:16:25cleaner.Britain's worst abuse scandal on the front page of the

0:16:25 > 0:16:32daily now -- Daily Mail. And why are Kate's fingers all the same length?

0:16:32 > 0:16:37What a question. But they are not in that picture.That's the end of

0:16:37 > 0:16:44that. The front page of the Guardian. A visitor to the Science

0:16:44 > 0:16:49Museum's new medical Gallery will see the 3.5 - metre statue. It's

0:16:49 > 0:16:56really rather beautiful.And football pundit Jamie Carrigan finds

0:16:56 > 0:17:04himself on the front page of the Mirror and the sun. -- Carragher. A

0:17:04 > 0:17:09spitting storm. There is a viral video of Jamie Carragher spitting on

0:17:09 > 0:17:16the motorway. He has come out and apologised immediately.He said,

0:17:16 > 0:17:20totally out of order and I have apologised personally to all the

0:17:20 > 0:17:26family. I was goaded while being filmed. No excuse, apologies.He

0:17:26 > 0:17:32finds himself on the front page.A lot of the business pages are

0:17:32 > 0:17:38talking about companies that don't pay as much tax as a lot of people

0:17:38 > 0:17:44think they should. It's not evasion, it's not illegal but multinationals

0:17:44 > 0:17:48are paying significantly lower tax rates than they did before the

0:17:48 > 0:17:55financial crisis back in 2008. Quite a few companies on a lot of page is

0:17:55 > 0:17:59being discussed with the sales they've made. The fact they are not

0:17:59 > 0:18:04necessarily paying tax on that. Another little story. Are you one of

0:18:04 > 0:18:11those people who gets crumbs on your keyboard?It's one of the first

0:18:11 > 0:18:19things.I don't want to see what comes out.Apparently now, Apple are

0:18:19 > 0:18:25going to create a keyboard where it is impossible to get food in now.We

0:18:25 > 0:18:33all share desks here.I bought a second-hand keyboard and I thought,

0:18:33 > 0:18:40I've got to prove that comes out. I put the suction power on too much, I

0:18:40 > 0:18:46removed about 20 of the keys.You know where they are -- where they

0:18:46 > 0:18:51are, anyway.Lots of analysis in the papers today about the ugly scenes

0:18:51 > 0:18:56at West Ham after that pitch invasion. They lost to Burnley over

0:18:56 > 0:19:00the weekend. Lots of unrest about the board. They want Southern Golden

0:19:00 > 0:19:08Brady out. Lots of analysis. Trevor Brooking saying the fans really need

0:19:08 > 0:19:12to get a grip on their behaviour otherwise the team will end up

0:19:12 > 0:19:16relegated because they cannot play at home in that atmosphere. Lots of

0:19:16 > 0:19:21talk about the fact that we need to do more about stewarding and

0:19:21 > 0:19:25policing at the grounds. A lot of the responsibility should be on the

0:19:25 > 0:19:28behaviour of the fans themselves rather than modifying the behaviour

0:19:28 > 0:19:38of -- for them. And pictures from Italy, the Fiorentino Captain Davide

0:19:38 > 0:19:48Astori, their first match back. Such a step -- such as sad story. 31

0:19:48 > 0:19:56years old and Italy still reeling from that.

0:19:56 > 0:20:00from that.This is about garden bird feeders. Apparently, they are

0:20:00 > 0:20:06helping to spread serious diseases, according to scientists. Causing

0:20:06 > 0:20:12epidemics. Birds congregate in the same place. We will be speaking to

0:20:12 > 0:20:20somebody with this at about ten past eight.We are going to speak to

0:20:20 > 0:20:30somebody about 8:20am with more detail on this.It is

0:20:30 > 0:20:33detail on this.It is responsible for Finch trichomonosis.And how was

0:20:33 > 0:20:38Mothering Sunday everybody?I enjoyed it. Celebrating with all the

0:20:38 > 0:20:47mothers out there. This is a picture that appeared in the Telegraph.A

0:20:47 > 0:20:52very happy Mothering Sunday to all our followers. This picture was the

0:20:52 > 0:20:58Queen, for children and the Duke of Edinburgh, taken in 1965 outside

0:20:58 > 0:21:01Frogmore house in Windsor, celebrating the Queen's 39th

0:21:01 > 0:21:05birthday.

0:21:05 > 0:21:07The number of people detained in mental health hospitals

0:21:07 > 0:21:11in England has risen by 40% in a decade.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14One of those was 20-year-old Tee who was 18 when she was sectioned.

0:21:14 > 0:21:17Breakfast has had unprecedented access to the secure

0:21:17 > 0:21:20hospital where Tee's been staying - and in the first of two special

0:21:20 > 0:21:22reports, Graham Satchell joined her as she prepared

0:21:22 > 0:21:29to have her section lifted.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34Any worries? How are you feeling? I'm a bit nervous because obviously

0:21:34 > 0:21:39I've been here for quite awhile so it becomes normal, the routine.Tee

0:21:39 > 0:21:43has been locked up for our own safety for almost two years. No

0:21:43 > 0:21:47sharp objects, not even an error. She was detained under the Mental

0:21:47 > 0:21:52Health Act after turning 18.I remember feeling every emotion under

0:21:52 > 0:21:57the sun. I was scared. I felt upsell -- upset that I'd let my family

0:21:57 > 0:22:02down, I felt a bit lost. Initially it was really horrible and a really

0:22:02 > 0:22:06scary process and I started to realise that that was what I needed.

0:22:06 > 0:22:12They did in section me for no reason. There was a reason why.Tee

0:22:12 > 0:22:16has been treated at St Andrews in Northampton, one of the biggest

0:22:16 > 0:22:20secure mental health hospitals in the first time news cameras have

0:22:20 > 0:22:26been allowed. The problems started when she was 14.I used to self sell

0:22:26 > 0:22:31Palm is about cot more intense and quite serious and things like

0:22:31 > 0:22:36overdosing, which I look back on now and am glad nothing worked. Things

0:22:36 > 0:22:41like that, just spiralled out of control and I felt like I couldn't

0:22:41 > 0:22:45cope.It's almost time to leave hospital.How have you done? When I

0:22:45 > 0:22:50first got here, I was really anxious thought I would be here forever.Tee

0:22:50 > 0:22:54has worked hard to get to this point. With therapy and medication,

0:22:54 > 0:22:57she has learnt to manage your emotions but the number of people

0:22:57 > 0:23:01being detained in mental health hospitals in England has gone up 40%

0:23:01 > 0:23:09in a decade.They a section of the Mental Health Act. Sadly there is an

0:23:09 > 0:23:12inexhaustible supply of damaged young women out there who are

0:23:12 > 0:23:15replacing the ladies who are leaving.Why are numbers so high?

0:23:15 > 0:23:21The moment of crisis the Tee came issued from child to adult mental

0:23:21 > 0:23:25health services. The Chris Jerrey is different. Waiting times are longer.

0:23:25 > 0:23:30As she turned 18, she had months of note support and ended up taking an

0:23:30 > 0:23:36overdose.I felt like I was kind of just left eye deteriorated, I felt

0:23:36 > 0:23:41like nobody cared, I pushed the ones I loved the most away because they

0:23:41 > 0:23:45thought, they don't care so I don't care. It was really difficult having

0:23:45 > 0:23:50that period of support.Transition is supposed to be a gradual managed

0:23:50 > 0:23:54period from children's mental health services to adult mental health

0:23:54 > 0:23:58services but the many people, it's like falling off a cliff edge and

0:23:58 > 0:24:02that's how many of them describe it. It's a long, long way to go before

0:24:02 > 0:24:09we have anything looking optimum young people.She wants to cry. Tee

0:24:09 > 0:24:14is saying her last goodbyes.Well done, Tee. That things are coming.

0:24:14 > 0:24:19It doesn't have to be same as normal. And actually excited to get

0:24:19 > 0:24:24on with it.NHS England told us they are spelling spending an extra £280

0:24:24 > 0:24:29million a year in trialling new models of care, young people moving

0:24:29 > 0:24:33to adult services at 25 rather than 18. But they acknowledge too many

0:24:33 > 0:24:38young people are not getting the treatment they should expect.You

0:24:38 > 0:24:45did it.It's good. Tee is one success story. Graham Satchell, BBC

0:24:45 > 0:24:49News.

0:24:49 > 0:24:55And very good luck to Tee on a journey. On tomorrow's programme, we

0:24:55 > 0:25:02will see her as she settles into new accommodation.

0:25:02 > 0:25:05And we'll be asking if there's enough support in the community

0:25:05 > 0:25:08to stop people like her being readmitted to hospital.

0:25:08 > 0:25:13Still to come this morning.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16From construction to I.T, Steph will find out why a shortage

0:25:16 > 0:25:19in these skills is costing British firms billions of pounds,

0:25:19 > 0:25:21and what can be done to fill the gap.

0:25:21 > 0:25:22Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

0:25:22 > 0:28:40Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

0:29:11 > 0:29:12to give this advice.

0:29:12 > 0:29:14Also this morning: a huge treasure hunt

0:29:14 > 0:29:16for Shakespeare's books is taking place right across the UK.

0:29:47 > 0:29:52The comedian Ken Dodd has died at the age of 90.Happiness, happiness,

0:29:52 > 0:29:57the greatest gift that I possess.He was known to his marathon stage

0:29:57 > 0:30:04performances and the Diddy men and the famous tickling stick. He had

0:30:04 > 0:30:07been treated in hospital recently for a chest infection.

0:30:07 > 0:30:10Some of Ken Dodd's fans and former colleagues have been paying tribute.

0:30:10 > 0:30:13And comedian Gary Delaney made reference to how long Ken Dodd's

0:30:13 > 0:30:21shows went on for, saying:

0:30:26 > 0:30:34Actor John Challis wrote:

0:30:34 > 0:30:42Actor Claire Sweeney said:

0:30:50 > 0:30:54Many tributes coming into us this morning also say thank you for

0:30:54 > 0:30:58sending those in. It's 630. Let's

0:30:58 > 0:31:01bring you some other news. The National Security agency today to

0:31:01 > 0:31:05discuss the attack in Salisbury on the former Russian intelligence

0:31:05 > 0:31:08officer and his daughter. The group made up by senior ministers and

0:31:08 > 0:31:12ministers from the military service security services is chaired by the

0:31:12 > 0:31:15Prime Minister, given the latest evidence and intelligence on the

0:31:15 > 0:31:19attack before deciding what action should be taken. Yesterday hundreds

0:31:19 > 0:31:22of people in the same pub and restaurant has the victims were

0:31:22 > 0:31:26warned to wash their clothes and other belongings that they had on

0:31:26 > 0:31:27them at the time.

0:31:27 > 0:31:30A bitter row has broken out at the top of the Labour Party

0:31:30 > 0:31:33with a shadow cabinet minister being removed from her post,

0:31:33 > 0:31:34apparently against her will.

0:31:34 > 0:31:37Labour says Debbie Abrahams stepped down as spokeswoman on Work

0:31:37 > 0:31:39and Pensions while an employment issue is investigated.

0:31:39 > 0:31:42But Mrs Abrahams claims that she's the victim of a bullying culture

0:31:42 > 0:31:47in the party.

0:31:47 > 0:31:50At least two people have died after a helicopter crashed

0:31:50 > 0:31:58into the East River in New York last night.

0:32:03 > 0:32:06Three passengers are in critical condition after being pulled out

0:32:06 > 0:32:08of the water by rescuers.

0:32:08 > 0:32:09The pilot managed to free himself.

0:32:09 > 0:32:12An investigation will be held to determine the cause of the crash.

0:32:12 > 0:32:16While for the divers to get these people out, they worked very quickly

0:32:16 > 0:32:20as fast as they could, it is 50 feet of water there, there was a four

0:32:20 > 0:32:24mile in our current, the temperature is below 40 is a rubber and worked

0:32:24 > 0:32:28very hard, it is a great tragedy that we had occurred here on a

0:32:28 > 0:32:29quiet, otherwise quiet Sunday evening.

0:32:29 > 0:32:32The former commander of the UK's maritime forces says Britain's

0:32:32 > 0:32:35ability to "fight and win on the frontline" was being affected

0:32:35 > 0:32:36by budget cuts.

0:32:36 > 0:32:40Rear Admiral Alex Burton said the UK is at risk of losing its status

0:32:40 > 0:32:42as a "credible military power".

0:32:42 > 0:32:46He's the latest in a long line of senior military figures to call

0:32:46 > 0:32:47for more spending on defence.

0:32:47 > 0:32:49The government said spending is growing to meet ever-changing

0:32:49 > 0:32:55threats.

0:32:55 > 0:32:58A council facing financial problems is facing allegations it used

0:32:58 > 0:33:00millions of pounds of money ring-fenced for public health

0:33:00 > 0:33:03to prop up other services.

0:33:03 > 0:33:05The BBC's Inside Out East programme has learned that

0:33:05 > 0:33:08Northamptonshire County Council may have to return as much as ten

0:33:08 > 0:33:15million pounds to Public Health England.

0:33:15 > 0:33:21That money wasn't misappropriated Tom it may have been spent in adult

0:33:21 > 0:33:25social care looking after people in some way or another that somebody

0:33:25 > 0:33:29might judge that wasn't really public health money but at the end

0:33:29 > 0:33:35of the day, it is still being spent on the people in Northamptonshire.

0:33:35 > 0:33:40This is a question that will spark debate amongst our Breakfast is more

0:33:40 > 0:33:44for the first view with this morning. When it comes to scone- how

0:33:44 > 0:33:53would you pronounce it?

0:33:54 > 0:33:56would you pronounce it? Are you jam first or cream first? Shall we start

0:33:56 > 0:34:04from the bottom? A crew to, cream, J. No, no, no. Are you saying that

0:34:04 > 0:34:09to annoy me? It has to be jam first and then you build it. You use the

0:34:09 > 0:34:14jam as your base and to build upon that with cream. That is what I

0:34:14 > 0:34:21said. No, I said from the bottom scone, jam, cream. I do with the

0:34:21 > 0:34:26other way around. What did I say? Can't even remember. Ken Dodd,

0:34:26 > 0:34:34cream, jam. No, cream first. The reason we are discussing this is

0:34:34 > 0:34:36that, you cannot change your ways halfway through.

0:34:36 > 0:34:39A National Trust property in Cornwall has apologised

0:34:39 > 0:34:43for advertising its cream teas with the jam on top of the cream

0:34:43 > 0:34:49because it's a Devon tradition.

0:34:49 > 0:34:53I am a little bit upset because I obviously don't do with the Cornish

0:34:53 > 0:35:01Way. Do you want to see the advert? It is the wrong way around. It is

0:35:01 > 0:35:04the right way around. It is the wrong way around. The photo caused

0:35:04 > 0:35:09outrage!

0:35:09 > 0:35:12And as you can clearly see, the cream is on the scone first,

0:35:12 > 0:35:14with the jam on top.

0:35:14 > 0:35:16But the photo caused outrage amongst the Cornish residents

0:35:16 > 0:35:19who say placing jam on first was all about identity

0:35:19 > 0:35:20as you can see here.

0:35:20 > 0:35:23They said their staff would all be fired. No, they didn't!

0:35:23 > 0:35:26The National Trust property said its staff would now wear these

0:35:26 > 0:35:28badges Hashtag Jam First and reassured customers

0:35:28 > 0:35:30that their mothers were safe in its tearoom.

0:35:30 > 0:35:34Just for clarity in Cornwall, it is jam and cream, Cornish brothers and

0:35:34 > 0:35:37sisters, and in Devon, it is all about cream and then jam. Does that

0:35:37 > 0:35:42mean I will now have to go on holiday in Devon? And eat. I mean, I

0:35:42 > 0:35:46would love to go on holiday in Devon. It means unique to have a

0:35:46 > 0:35:50long, hard at yourself. I am with her on this one because I feel that

0:35:50 > 0:35:55the cream... It is like butter! It displaces the jam. The journal is

0:35:55 > 0:36:00quite clearly a bit more, a bit bulkier than the cream so you can't

0:36:00 > 0:36:04spread... Maybe it is the wrong type of cream! Cream is about a

0:36:04 > 0:36:11replacement. Cream, jam, Devon. All the way. But, jam and then cream.

0:36:11 > 0:36:16The big triple, they call it. I don't care, as long as there is

0:36:16 > 0:36:22loads on its! Talking about the Winter Paralympics right now. Moving

0:36:22 > 0:36:23away from scones.

0:36:23 > 0:36:26We've been looking forward to snowboarding making its debut

0:36:26 > 0:36:29at the Games but it's not gone quite to plan.

0:36:29 > 0:36:33There has been a problem with the starting gates.

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Let's get the latest from our reporter in Pyeongchang Kate Grey.

0:36:36 > 0:36:38Kate, what's going on?

0:36:38 > 0:36:43While busy any snowboarding?There has been since nobody but it has not

0:36:43 > 0:36:47gone smoothly for the first day of the event. The weather has, well,

0:36:47 > 0:36:52better Rojer has increased significantly here, about 16- 20

0:36:52 > 0:36:55degrees which Catherine you will know was very different for Howard

0:36:55 > 0:36:59was at the Olympics is about as post an issue already because the event

0:36:59 > 0:37:02had to be moved forward because of the conditions changing as it went

0:37:02 > 0:37:06into the afternoon, they had to make sure that the athletes on the snow

0:37:06 > 0:37:10as soon as possible but due to an issue to the starting gates,

0:37:10 > 0:37:13athletes were trying to push out a big gate, it should drop, as they

0:37:13 > 0:37:17push out however the gate has not been dropping and athletes have

0:37:17 > 0:37:20literally been falling over the gate which is obviously not ideal in the

0:37:20 > 0:37:24way it works in border cross, you would have seen in the Olympics, 4-6

0:37:24 > 0:37:28athletes go at the same time and here they have two or in

0:37:28 > 0:37:32head-to-head, one is released on the other hasn't so they have to restart

0:37:32 > 0:37:35the events are obviously not a great situation to the start of the

0:37:35 > 0:37:39snowboarding and it has really snowed a slow things up with what we

0:37:39 > 0:37:42know is snowboarding has been taking place, we have three British

0:37:42 > 0:37:46athletes in action who said it is the first time Great Britain have

0:37:46 > 0:37:49been competing in this sport at the Paralympic games are quite a

0:37:49 > 0:37:53historic moment for them and there has been mixed success, Enmore and

0:37:53 > 0:37:57Owen Pick already are knocked out in the elimination rounds but we found

0:37:57 > 0:38:01out now, we have just seen the James Barnes-Miller has also just been

0:38:01 > 0:38:06knocked out. -- Ben Moore. Not great news for Team GB in the

0:38:06 > 0:38:10snowboarding, who knows if it has anything to do with the fact it has

0:38:10 > 0:38:13been delayed and there have been a number of issues that as it stands

0:38:13 > 0:38:17we over Great Britain will not qualify through to the final stages

0:38:17 > 0:38:20the border cross but there will be another chance to go in the bank

0:38:20 > 0:38:25slalom later on. Not an ideal start and under the organisers here will

0:38:25 > 0:38:28be having a little bit of a moment wondering how they can move forward

0:38:28 > 0:38:33because actually that the richer is set to increase, we could be moving

0:38:33 > 0:38:36up into the 20s as we move later on into the week. Now there has been

0:38:36 > 0:38:40the British success, or the British athletes are to win very well done

0:38:40 > 0:38:43by the coast because there is curling in action, the British team

0:38:43 > 0:38:47have had a mixed set of results, they won their opening match on the

0:38:47 > 0:38:50first day, they then lost to Switzerland yesterday but redeemed

0:38:50 > 0:38:53themselves and one against Finland later on in the evening. And now

0:38:53 > 0:38:57they are back in action today against Sweden and how comfortable

0:38:57 > 0:39:01the winning 4-0 with four ends to go so hopefully they will continue to

0:39:01 > 0:39:05form and bring a bit of British success here but as it stands, it is

0:39:05 > 0:39:09a little bit unpredictable but hopefully we will be able to update

0:39:09 > 0:39:12you on the curling of the moving from its forward.Kate, thank you.

0:39:12 > 0:39:17Doesn't it look army in Pyeongchang. I was there in and coats and all

0:39:17 > 0:39:20sorts of things and Kate is wearing short sleeves that looks like!

0:39:20 > 0:39:31Lovely stuff!

0:39:31 > 0:39:35Tottenham and England fans will be waiting for the results of a scan

0:39:35 > 0:39:38today on Harry Kane's ankle after he was injured during Spurs'

0:39:38 > 0:39:394-1 win over Bournemouth.

0:39:39 > 0:39:43Son Heung-Min scored twice to move Tottenham up to third in the table.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his team need to get the fans

0:39:46 > 0:39:48back on their side after their recent poor form.

0:39:48 > 0:39:51And the players did their bit yesterday, beating Watford 3-0.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54There were still plenty of empty seats at The Emirates,

0:39:54 > 0:39:54though.

0:39:54 > 0:39:56There was a cracking Old Firm derby

0:39:56 > 0:39:59in the Scottish Premiership - Josh Windass put Rangers ahead

0:39:59 > 0:40:00at Ibrox after just three minutes.

0:40:00 > 0:40:03It was 2-2 at half-time before Celtic snatched victory,

0:40:03 > 0:40:04thanks to Odsonne Edouard.

0:40:04 > 0:40:06Elsewhere in football, there were emotional scenes

0:40:06 > 0:40:08in Florence, where Fiorentina played their first match

0:40:08 > 0:40:10since the death of their captain Davide Astori.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13He passed away at the age of 31 last weekend.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16When Vitor Hugo scored the only goal of the game against Benevento,

0:40:16 > 0:40:19When Vitor Hugo scored the only goal of the game against Benevento,

0:40:19 > 0:40:22he held up a T-shirt bearing Astori's face.

0:40:22 > 0:40:24That was one of many tributes during the game.

0:40:24 > 0:40:28Wales moved up to second place in the Six Nations table after 38-14

0:40:28 > 0:40:29victory over Italy in Cardiff.

0:40:29 > 0:40:31George North scored two of their five tries,

0:40:31 > 0:40:34securing the bonus win - a great result for a much-changed

0:40:34 > 0:40:42Wales side.

0:40:43 > 0:40:45In the women's Six Nations, Wales failed to get their challenge

0:40:45 > 0:40:48back on track after a surprise 22-15 home defeat home to bottom side

0:40:48 > 0:40:48Italy.

0:40:48 > 0:40:51The Welsh went in 12-8 down at the break,

0:40:51 > 0:40:54but managed to claw their way back to within two points of Italy

0:40:54 > 0:40:57but were undone by Michela Sillari's late bonus point wining try.

0:40:57 > 0:41:00It was the Italians' first victory in nine Six Nations matches.

0:41:00 > 0:41:04Scotland beat Ireland for the first time in Women's Six Nations history.

0:41:04 > 0:41:06Chloe Rollee ran practically the entire length of the pitch

0:41:06 > 0:41:10to score the second of the Scots two tries, as they earned a 15-12

0:41:10 > 0:41:10victory.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14It was a case of so near, yet so far for Tiger Woods

0:41:14 > 0:41:16at the Valspar Championship in Florida.

0:41:16 > 0:41:18The 42-year-old former world number one, who's slipped to 388th

0:41:18 > 0:41:21in the rankings, was chasing his first title in four

0:41:21 > 0:41:22and a half years.

0:41:22 > 0:41:26He needed to sink this putt on the final hole to force a play

0:41:26 > 0:41:28off with Paul Casey, but just came up short.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31The Englishman claimed the victory by just one shot.

0:41:31 > 0:41:33And finally, John Motson delivered his final live BBC

0:41:33 > 0:41:35commentary during yesterday's Premier League match

0:41:35 > 0:41:36between Arsenal and Watford.

0:41:36 > 0:41:38The 72-year-old announced in September he'd call time

0:41:38 > 0:41:41on his BBC career at the end of the season.

0:41:41 > 0:41:44He'll continue to appear on Match of the Day until May.

0:41:44 > 0:41:46His first radio commentary was Everton vs Derby

0:41:46 > 0:41:47in December 1969.

0:41:47 > 0:41:49When the end came, he didn't even say goodbye.

0:41:49 > 0:41:52Hie at the Emirates a straightforward win for Arsenal.

0:41:52 > 0:41:55Three points for Arsenal. Add a little bit of an advancement as well

0:41:55 > 0:41:59in Arsene Veng's planning for those that against Mallarme. Arsenal

0:41:59 > 0:42:02three, Watford zero.

0:42:02 > 0:42:06You can see people watching Saint what is the going to... Oh, never

0:42:06 > 0:42:08mind. It was never about him.

0:42:08 > 0:42:11Doctors in some parts of the UK say they're concerned pressure

0:42:11 > 0:42:14on the NHS is leading to a deterioration in patient safety.

0:42:14 > 0:42:16A report from the Royal College of Physicians says

0:42:16 > 0:42:19doctors feel the situation had become worse in nearly

0:42:19 > 0:42:20all areas of care.

0:42:20 > 0:42:23We can speak now to Jane Dacre, President of the Royal College

0:42:23 > 0:42:29of Physicians, who joins us from our London newsroom.

0:42:29 > 0:42:35Good morning, Jane. This is quite an extensive report. Tell us what your

0:42:35 > 0:42:40main concerns are.A main concerns after the patients that we serve

0:42:40 > 0:42:45because more than two thirds of physicians feel that the patient

0:42:45 > 0:42:51safety has deteriorated over the last year. More than 80% of doctors

0:42:51 > 0:42:56working in a situation where there are workshops for workforce

0:42:56 > 0:43:00shortages and has an impact not only on their patients but on their own

0:43:00 > 0:43:05role. More than 80% of doctors feel that morale is coming down too. This

0:43:05 > 0:43:10is a situation that happens every winter. This winter has been a

0:43:10 > 0:43:14particularly severe winter because of flu and Nora virus and we are

0:43:14 > 0:43:18beginning to feel that we are running out of steam as. It is. We

0:43:18 > 0:43:22would really welcome support from the government to try and alleviate

0:43:22 > 0:43:29it before next year.Look at over in a moment. Do your findings indicate

0:43:29 > 0:43:33that doctors are concerned that live are essentially in danger.Doctors

0:43:33 > 0:43:38go into medicine to support people and help people. Occasionally, you

0:43:38 > 0:43:44cannot do as much as you would like to do. Doctors work really hard to

0:43:44 > 0:43:47ensure that lives are not in danger but sometimes things get outside

0:43:47 > 0:43:52their control.You talked about working with the government, the

0:43:52 > 0:43:55government says the Department of Health and social care saying we are

0:43:55 > 0:43:59committing to making the NHS the safest health-care system in the

0:43:59 > 0:44:03world. More staff would now recommend their care to family and

0:44:03 > 0:44:07friends than ever before and they go on about the budget saying we know

0:44:07 > 0:44:11the NHS is busy which is why we supported at this winter with an

0:44:11 > 0:44:15additional £437 million of funding and gave a top priority in the

0:44:15 > 0:44:20recent public for budget. Are you saying it is an enough money?Yes.

0:44:20 > 0:44:25The NHS is under more pressure than ever have seen before and we are not

0:44:25 > 0:44:29keeping up with that. The government is correct, it has given more money

0:44:29 > 0:44:32and given money for winter pressure but the money hasn't kept up with

0:44:32 > 0:44:36demand and that is the problem. One of the further difficulties is that

0:44:36 > 0:44:43although there are now suggestions that more A&E and nurses will be

0:44:43 > 0:44:47trained, it takes a long time to these people to be ready to work

0:44:47 > 0:44:52autonomously in the service and so we have a gap between now and when

0:44:52 > 0:44:55the crisis has arisen and several years time when the new doctors and

0:44:55 > 0:44:58nurses and other healthcare professionals will be coming in to

0:44:58 > 0:45:03take up the roles.What, in your view, could be done to help in the

0:45:03 > 0:45:08meantime?We would hope that the immigration rules for medical

0:45:08 > 0:45:12practitioners might be relaxed. We hear stories about these is running

0:45:12 > 0:45:19out and people eating ready to come in the UK and cannot because the

0:45:19 > 0:45:24visa quota has been breached. The UK has a fantastic reputation for

0:45:24 > 0:45:28training and healthcare at it has a fantastic reputation via the NHS. It

0:45:28 > 0:45:32would like to do is offer training opportunities for healthcare

0:45:32 > 0:45:36professionals from other countries. It is to say that we want to

0:45:36 > 0:45:41increase immigration. We understand that is not on the agenda. But we

0:45:41 > 0:45:44feel that if people came over for education and training in this

0:45:44 > 0:45:50country and then returned, a skilled to was they came from, we could

0:45:50 > 0:45:55really help the service and help them.-- upskilled. Thank you,

0:45:55 > 0:46:03Professor Jane. Let's find out what is happening with the weather today.

0:46:03 > 0:46:11Matt is with us.

0:46:11 > 0:46:15Its gallery one of those weeks were we see different conditions.

0:46:15 > 0:46:18Its gallery one of those weeks were we see different conditions. -- it's

0:46:18 > 0:46:22going to be. The driest of all in Scotland but elsewhere, it is a case

0:46:22 > 0:46:26of grab something waterproof.

0:46:26 > 0:46:30Scotland but elsewhere, it is a case of grab something waterproof. At all

0:46:30 > 0:46:35due to an area of low pressure. The cloud is swirling around in an

0:46:35 > 0:46:38anticlockwise manner. The most persistent of the rain is in

0:46:38 > 0:46:46northern England. Scotland, largely dry. Brightest in the West. It's

0:46:46 > 0:46:49England and Wales. If you look at the finer detail of what's

0:46:49 > 0:46:53happening, you can see the more persistent rain remains across parts

0:46:53 > 0:47:00of northern England. A scattering of showers elsewhere. To the south-east

0:47:00 > 0:47:03Midlands, south-east England, this is where they could become heavy and

0:47:03 > 0:47:09thundery. Windiest towards Wales and the south-west. By the end of the

0:47:09 > 0:47:12day, a few showers into Northern Ireland but Scotland fired a large,

0:47:12 > 0:47:21the driest of the weather. The coolest of the conditions. Enter

0:47:21 > 0:47:26tonight, showers continuing for England and Wales in particular. We

0:47:26 > 0:47:33will see one or two crop up into the will West. Temperatures could drop

0:47:33 > 0:47:38low enough for a touch of frost. Particularly west and northern parts

0:47:38 > 0:47:45of the UK. The chart into Tuesday shows a big area of low pressure.

0:47:45 > 0:47:51Before it arrives, we are in between two low pressure systems. That means

0:47:51 > 0:47:57the many, it will be a dry and bright day. A few showers. 12 very

0:47:57 > 0:48:03isolated ones drifting eastwards and only a gentle breeze on Tuesday.

0:48:03 > 0:48:08Most places spend the bulk of the day dry and a bit more sunshine

0:48:08 > 0:48:12around England and Wales today. Temperatures above what it should be

0:48:12 > 0:48:18that this time of the year. Into Wednesday, a change. An area of low

0:48:18 > 0:48:21pressure pushing towards us after a dry start. Brightest of all in

0:48:21 > 0:48:28eastern parts. The cloud thickens in the West. Persistent in Northern

0:48:28 > 0:48:34Ireland, West Wales. Strong to gale force winds. Temperatures 10- 14

0:48:34 > 0:48:45degrees. The middle part of the week. There are signs, Dan and

0:48:45 > 0:48:47Louise, before you get too complacent about temperatures, we

0:48:47 > 0:48:55could see colder weather. It's a while off yet. We will keep you

0:48:55 > 0:48:59updated.

0:48:59 > 0:49:05I just can't believe it, Matt. A genuine disappointment. Steph is

0:49:05 > 0:49:11talking about skills to pay the Bills.

0:49:11 > 0:49:14I've been working on that released two minutes.

0:49:14 > 0:49:17British businesses are losing out on billions of pounds in sales

0:49:17 > 0:49:19because of the ongoing skills shortage.

0:49:19 > 0:49:22This is a joint report out this morning from the Centre

0:49:22 > 0:49:24for Economics and Business Research and the parent company

0:49:24 > 0:49:25of Clydesdale bank.

0:49:25 > 0:49:28They say small and medium sized businesses are missing out on £7

0:49:28 > 0:49:31billion of sales because they can't find the right people

0:49:31 > 0:49:32to fill their job vacancies.

0:49:32 > 0:49:33Lower

0:49:33 > 0:49:36They say around a quarter of a million more people would be

0:49:36 > 0:49:38in work if they had the right skills

0:49:38 > 0:49:41Simon Swan is founder and chief executive of the recruitment agency

0:49:41 > 0:49:43marketplace Hiring Hub, also an ambassador for

0:49:43 > 0:49:48the National Apprenticeship Scheme.

0:49:48 > 0:49:52what are recruiters telling you about what it's like out there?It's

0:49:52 > 0:49:59incredibly challenging. I think employment is at record highs. The

0:49:59 > 0:50:03candidates are in short supply. With things that are happening on a macro

0:50:03 > 0:50:07level like Brexit and net migration down, they are really struggling.

0:50:07 > 0:50:16What type of skills we struggling? It's broad. Digital in IT,

0:50:16 > 0:50:19engineering, construction, healthcare, social care. Even

0:50:19 > 0:50:25funeral directors lorry drivers. It's very broad.The skills gap is

0:50:25 > 0:50:32something we have been talking about the years. Is anybody doing anything

0:50:32 > 0:50:38about it?Yes, the government is trying to do things about it but

0:50:38 > 0:50:43again, like I said with what's happening, with things like Brexit,

0:50:43 > 0:50:49they need to accelerate some of the policies and work on what's happened

0:50:49 > 0:50:54with visas and immigration in general because this is not going to

0:50:54 > 0:51:02get better soon.If you are in charge, what needs to be done?I

0:51:02 > 0:51:07would take NHS out of those visas. Have a separate one for private

0:51:07 > 0:51:12companies. I would encourage employers if I was the government, I

0:51:12 > 0:51:19would give incentives for employers to develop training schemes.Do you

0:51:19 > 0:51:25think this is a problem which will get worse?Absolutely 100% it will.

0:51:25 > 0:51:30Are there any companies you think I'm mailing it when it comes to

0:51:30 > 0:51:36getting the right skill set?This report looks specifically at small

0:51:36 > 0:51:39and medium enterprises and small businesses are struggling because

0:51:39 > 0:51:45they are small. We are seeing large companies, even the co-op I mention

0:51:45 > 0:51:50of funeral directors, they did running apprenticeship schemes to

0:51:50 > 0:51:53bring through new directors and there are some great case studies of

0:51:53 > 0:51:58companies doing things brilliantly but the SME types in particularly

0:51:58 > 0:52:03are struggling because of a lack of resources.Should there be more

0:52:03 > 0:52:08collaboration in the supply chain? You have big companies which use a

0:52:08 > 0:52:12supply chain should be more collaboration?Absolutely. It's

0:52:12 > 0:52:19difficult. It's difficult to align big companies, small companies,

0:52:19 > 0:52:22governments, the education sector. It's challenging. That is where we

0:52:22 > 0:52:30need leadership.If you're a kid at school, what would you do to make

0:52:30 > 0:52:34sure you're not going to miss on this. It sounds like it is a great

0:52:34 > 0:52:42market to be in.I think there is a real issue, careers advice hasn't

0:52:42 > 0:52:49been fantastic. Really, if they can align themselves closer to the

0:52:49 > 0:52:51business community and get business leaders into schools.That's easier

0:52:51 > 0:52:56than done. The curriculum doesn't really have space for careers

0:52:56 > 0:53:05advice. Schools don't get judged on the employability.It comes back to

0:53:05 > 0:53:10government. I have been invited to schools to talk. Which sectors are

0:53:10 > 0:53:17hot. I really think it needs to be looked at as well as the skills

0:53:17 > 0:53:22issue. It goes right back to education.I've talk to businesses

0:53:22 > 0:53:26which say, we want to get into schools. A lot of young people now,

0:53:26 > 0:53:32why can't businesses be in the space of young people. Logging in, using

0:53:32 > 0:53:37different video sites. Why is it just about sending people into

0:53:37 > 0:53:43schools? They try. Again, businesses, it is exceptionally

0:53:43 > 0:53:49broad. You have some companies that embrace digital and others that

0:53:49 > 0:53:55perhaps don't

0:53:55 > 0:54:00perhaps don't know what vlogging is. It's easy to get people to talk to

0:54:00 > 0:54:04the kids in schools. Thank you very much for your time.

0:54:04 > 0:54:07Now this isn't something we usually do on Breakfast because you're

0:54:07 > 0:54:09probably eating right now, but we're going to talk

0:54:09 > 0:54:10about dog mess.

0:54:10 > 0:54:17A campaign against dog poo has started in a village

0:54:17 > 0:54:18in Cambridgshire.

0:54:18 > 0:54:21The idea is if you spot muck on the floor, you upload

0:54:21 > 0:54:25the location of it on to a map - and it's hoped this will encourage

0:54:25 > 0:54:26people to pick it up.

0:54:26 > 0:54:32We've been asking if the idea will catch on.

0:54:32 > 0:54:36It's a good idea but I think it's aimed at the wrong people, people

0:54:36 > 0:54:44that don't pick their dog faeces up. It's not difficult, is it? It's not

0:54:44 > 0:54:49difficult to pick up your dogs mess. I just don't understand why people

0:54:49 > 0:54:52still don't and obviously don't buy the amount I've seen left here

0:54:52 > 0:54:59today.A lot of

0:55:00 > 0:55:05today.A lot of places, it's not really that North.We just want

0:55:05 > 0:55:09people picking it up. Look after their dogs and be responsible dog

0:55:09 > 0:55:17owners.Being stuck doing it in picking up and putting it in the

0:55:17 > 0:55:30bin.The dog things. That's what we do.I just find it is really

0:55:30 > 0:55:34frustrating. We always carry a bag review but we noticed just across

0:55:34 > 0:55:40there, there is a bin.

0:55:40 > 0:55:43there, there is a bin.Lots of you will want to talk about that this

0:55:43 > 0:55:49morning. Send us your ideas. Is it a good idea or not? You can email us.

0:55:49 > 0:55:53Or share your thoughts with other viewers on our Facebook page. You

0:55:53 > 0:55:57can tweet about that or any of today's stories. You can find us on

0:55:57 > 0:56:04Twitter and Facebook. I know this is a slightly separate issue but I had

0:56:04 > 0:56:10a heated debate about the use of the food tree. You know when people

0:56:10 > 0:56:15leave bags in a tree. That is another issue. That is a separate

0:56:15 > 0:59:39one for a different day. We have scholars and dog

0:59:39 > 0:59:41Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

0:59:41 > 0:59:44Bye for now.

0:59:44 > 0:59:47Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

0:59:47 > 0:59:51The entertainer Sir Ken Dodd has died at the age of 90.

1:00:06 > 1:00:09We shall have one or two glasses of tickle tonic,

1:00:09 > 1:00:12and then we should go back to Knotty Ash, up north,

1:00:12 > 1:00:15Knotty Ash on Merseyside, and I shall see the Diddy Men there,

1:00:15 > 1:00:18so I'll give your regards to them.

1:00:18 > 1:00:21Tributes have been pouring in for the star.

1:00:58 > 1:01:01Five people have died after a helicopter crashed into the East

1:01:01 > 1:01:07River in New York last night. A tough time to retailers with

1:01:07 > 1:01:10consumer spending at its lowest level for three years, according to

1:01:10 > 1:01:12new research. I will find out why.

1:01:17 > 1:01:19Britain's contenders did manage to make their runs,

1:01:19 > 1:01:21but all three have been knocked out.

1:01:21 > 1:01:24And Matt has the weather.

1:01:24 > 1:01:31Good morning. Good morning. Frost free start to the but if you are out

1:01:31 > 1:01:36for dry weather, Scotland is the place to be. One or two showers for

1:01:36 > 1:01:40England and Wales. Your full forecast is in 15 minutes. See you

1:01:40 > 1:01:44then. Will do, thank you. Just on seven o'clock.

1:01:44 > 1:01:48Sir Ken Dodd, the much-loved comedian, has died at the age of 90.

1:01:48 > 1:01:51Described by his publicist as "one of the last music hall greats"

1:01:51 > 1:01:54Sir Ken was known for his marathon stage performances and the creation

1:01:54 > 1:01:56of the Diddy Men and the tickling stick.

1:01:56 > 1:01:59The performer from Liverpool had recently spent six weeks in hospital

1:01:59 > 1:02:00with a chest infection.

1:02:00 > 1:02:03On Friday, he married his partner of 40 years, Anne Jones.

1:02:03 > 1:02:08Caroline Davies looks back at his life.

1:02:08 > 1:02:11Tickling sticks and Diddy Men, Ken Dodd was a variety performer

1:02:11 > 1:02:17with a gift for the surreal...

1:02:17 > 1:02:20What a brilliant day for going up to Count Von Zeppelin and saying

1:02:20 > 1:02:22"You'll never sell a sausage that size!"

1:02:22 > 1:02:24..and the love of a catchphrase or three.

1:02:24 > 1:02:25How tickled I am!

1:02:25 > 1:02:28How tickled I am by all this goodwill.

1:02:28 > 1:02:29What about you, Mrs?

1:02:29 > 1:02:30Have you been tickled by goodwill?

1:02:30 > 1:02:31Knick-knocky, knick-knock, knick-knocky knick-knack!

1:02:37 > 1:02:40Proud of his Merseyside roots, the coal merchant's son fro

1:02:40 > 1:02:42Knotty Ash became a chart-topping singer, a television star,

1:02:42 > 1:02:50and a ventriloquist.

1:02:51 > 1:02:51Doddy!

1:02:51 > 1:02:52Hi-ya, Doddy!

1:02:52 > 1:02:55Although silly on stage, Dodd was serious about his craft.

1:02:55 > 1:02:58Freud said that a laugh is a sudden explosion of psychic energy.

1:02:58 > 1:03:01Of course, the trouble with Freud was he never played second house

1:03:01 > 1:03:03Friday night at Glasglow Empire.

1:03:03 > 1:03:06He still lived in the home he grew up in and guarded his

1:03:06 > 1:03:09private life carefully.

1:03:09 > 1:03:12In 1989, that was shattered when he faced charges

1:03:12 > 1:03:20of massive tax evasion.

1:03:23 > 1:03:26He had 20 offshore bank accounts and more than £300,000 hidden

1:03:26 > 1:03:27around his house.

1:03:27 > 1:03:28He was acquitted and continued performing.

1:03:28 > 1:03:31Last year, he was given a knighthood in recognition of his charity

1:03:31 > 1:03:32and comedy work.

1:03:32 > 1:03:36We shall have one or two glasses of tickle tonic and then we shall go

1:03:36 > 1:03:39back to Knotty Ash up north, Knotty Ash on Merseyside,

1:03:39 > 1:03:43and I shall see the Diddy Men there, so I'll give your regards to them.

1:03:43 > 1:03:46Aged 90, Dodd was recently hospitalised with a chest infection

1:03:46 > 1:03:52but he still wanted to go back on stage.

1:03:52 > 1:03:55I look forward to getting back to doing my job -

1:03:55 > 1:03:59the only job that I have ever had, the only job that I know.

1:03:59 > 1:03:59# Happiness, happiness.

1:03:59 > 1:04:02After more than 60 years of making others laugh,

1:04:02 > 1:04:05it was performing to the British public that Dodd said

1:04:05 > 1:04:06gave him enormous happiness.

1:04:06 > 1:04:14Happiness!

1:04:16 > 1:04:24Some of Ken Dodd's fans and former colleagues have been paying tribute.

1:05:10 > 1:05:12Plenty of his classics are on social media this morning.

1:05:12 > 1:05:15The National Security Council is to look at the latest evidence

1:05:15 > 1:05:18of the suspected poisoning of a former Russian double agent

1:05:18 > 1:05:19and his daughter.

1:05:19 > 1:05:22An assessment will be made on who might have carried out

1:05:22 > 1:05:23the nerve agent attack.

1:05:23 > 1:05:26Sergei and Yulia Skripal remain critically ill in hospital.

1:05:26 > 1:05:28Our political correspondent Leila Nathoo is in Salisbury

1:05:28 > 1:05:29for us this morning.

1:05:29 > 1:05:32for us this morning.

1:05:32 > 1:05:37Good morning to you. I know you have been there for quite some time, many

1:05:37 > 1:05:42days, what is the latest?There is some progress being made here with

1:05:42 > 1:05:47the investigation. We know now that traces of that nerve agent, the

1:05:47 > 1:05:52deadly substance that the Skripals were exposed to was found in the

1:05:52 > 1:05:55Zizzi restaurant they dined and the mill pub went for a drink last

1:05:55 > 1:06:02Sunday afternoon. Police are investigating how and where the two

1:06:02 > 1:06:10were exposed to the substance. There is an operation examining Sergei

1:06:10 > 1:06:15Skripal's car, over the weekend at Deakin -- decontamination exercise

1:06:15 > 1:06:18was done along with the military who insisted, police cars have been

1:06:18 > 1:06:24removed from a number of locations, and we know that the table at the

1:06:24 > 1:06:28Zizzi restaurant where the too had their lunch we believe were so

1:06:28 > 1:06:32contaminated it has now been destroyed. -- too. People who are

1:06:32 > 1:06:37dining at the Zizzi restaurant or had a drink at the pub up until

1:06:37 > 1:06:40Monday evening with those two locations were sealed off, they are

1:06:40 > 1:06:45being told to wash their clothes as a precaution. There is something to

1:06:45 > 1:06:48hear that the advice is only just been issued, one week later,

1:06:48 > 1:06:52although officials stressed there is a limited risk, a low risk, and

1:06:52 > 1:06:56there is no need to be alarmed. Theresa May will chair a meeting of

1:06:56 > 1:07:01the National Security Council this morning to discuss the pop is -- and

1:07:01 > 1:07:05clear the possibility of the Russians. Amber Rudd has already

1:07:05 > 1:07:10been here to visit the scene, she has chaired a meeting of the COBRA

1:07:10 > 1:07:13committee but clearly, although she is urging caution not to jump to

1:07:13 > 1:07:17conclusions, there is clearly the consideration of the implications of

1:07:17 > 1:07:21what happened here for UK - Russia relations at the highest level of

1:07:21 > 1:07:24government.Thank you, good to talk to you.

1:07:24 > 1:07:27A bitter row has broken out at the top of the Labour Party

1:07:27 > 1:07:30with a shadow cabinet minister being removed from her post,

1:07:30 > 1:07:35apparently against her will.

1:07:35 > 1:07:37Debbie Abrahams was the spokeswoman on Work and Pensions.

1:07:37 > 1:07:39We speak now to our political correspondent Ben Wright.

1:07:39 > 1:07:42What's going on?

1:07:42 > 1:07:48What do you know about what is going on. Good morning.This erupted late

1:07:48 > 1:07:53last night and it seems that Debbie Abrahams met a couple of people from

1:07:53 > 1:07:56Jeremy Corbyn's offers to discuss what the party describes as an

1:07:56 > 1:08:02employment issue. Sometime on Friday. The Labour Party itself are

1:08:02 > 1:08:04not elaborating on what the employment issue is that we

1:08:04 > 1:08:07understand the concerns an allegation of bullying which she

1:08:07 > 1:08:13firmly categorically denies. As they met on Friday, and then last night,

1:08:13 > 1:08:17the Labour Party issued a statement saying that Debbie Abrahams had

1:08:17 > 1:08:20stood aside while the Labour Party investigates this employment issue

1:08:20 > 1:08:26and almost immediately off the back of that Debbie Abrahams herself

1:08:26 > 1:08:29released and excoriating statement, saying she had no detail about the

1:08:29 > 1:08:34complaint against her, process or the timescales, she said the

1:08:34 > 1:08:37treatment she received by certain individuals in the leader's offers

1:08:37 > 1:08:41over the last 10 months has been aggressive, intimidating and wholly

1:08:41 > 1:08:44unprofessional, showing a bullying culture of the worst kind and she

1:08:44 > 1:08:48has now taken her formal complaint to the Labour Party and

1:08:48 > 1:08:50parliamentary authority so extraordinary row that has erupted

1:08:50 > 1:08:54at the top of the Labour Party, shattering a piece that has existed

1:08:54 > 1:08:57many months, actually.Thank you indeed.

1:08:57 > 1:08:59Five people have died after a helicopter crashed

1:08:59 > 1:09:03into the East River in New York last night.

1:09:03 > 1:09:10The pilot managed to free himself.

1:09:10 > 1:09:11He was pulled out

1:09:11 > 1:09:13of the water by rescuers.

1:09:13 > 1:09:16An investigation will be held to determine the cause of the crash.

1:09:16 > 1:09:20That news has been updated in the last 40 minutes or so.

1:09:20 > 1:09:22The former commander of the UK's maritime forces says Britain's

1:09:22 > 1:09:25ability to "fight and win on the frontline" was being affected

1:09:25 > 1:09:26by budget cuts.

1:09:26 > 1:09:30Rear Admiral Alex Burton said the UK is at risk of losing its status

1:09:30 > 1:09:31as a "credible military power".

1:09:31 > 1:09:35He's the latest in a long line of senior military figures to call

1:09:35 > 1:09:36for more spending on defence.

1:09:36 > 1:09:38The government said spending is growing to meet ever-changing

1:09:38 > 1:09:42threats.

1:09:42 > 1:09:45A new survey suggests almost two thirds of doctors in some parts

1:09:45 > 1:09:50of the UK feel patient safety has deteriorated over the past year.

1:09:50 > 1:09:53The report, by the Royal College of Physicians, found that growing

1:09:53 > 1:09:56pressures on NHS staff have led to concerns about patient care.

1:09:56 > 1:09:59The government says it's absolutely committed to making the NHS

1:09:59 > 1:10:06the safest healthcare system in the world.

1:10:06 > 1:10:09Former Liverpool footballer Jamie Carragher has apologised after a

1:10:09 > 1:10:13video of him spitting at a girl in a car from his own vehicle was

1:10:13 > 1:10:17released. It happened while he drove back from the Liverpool Manchester

1:10:17 > 1:10:21United match on Saturday. On Twitter he said he had been goaded three or

1:10:21 > 1:10:25four times while being filmed and said there was no excuse for what he

1:10:25 > 1:10:34did, he did also say he has contacted the family and apologised.

1:10:34 > 1:10:37A teenage photographer's shots of The Beatles' first concerts

1:10:37 > 1:10:39in the United States are expected to sell for 250,000

1:10:39 > 1:10:40pounds at auction.

1:10:40 > 1:10:43Mike Mitchell, who was 18 at the time, took hundreds

1:10:43 > 1:10:46of pictures of the Fab Four's gigs at the Washington Coliseum

1:10:46 > 1:10:48and the Baltimore Civic Centre in 1964.

1:10:48 > 1:10:51He also attended their first press conference and captured the band's

1:10:51 > 1:10:54arrival at Union Station.

1:10:54 > 1:11:04If you want a little Ken Dodd fact, to songs by the Beatles in the

1:11:04 > 1:11:081960s, they were the only two songs that outsold Ken Dodd's songs.

1:11:08 > 1:11:09Incredible.

1:11:09 > 1:11:12The annual Crufts dog show had to be temporarily halted after two

1:11:12 > 1:11:15protesters stormed the venue.

1:11:15 > 1:11:17As this year's winner, a 2.5-year-old whippet called Tease,

1:11:17 > 1:11:20made her way to the podium, this happened - two demonstrators

1:11:20 > 1:11:27from the animal rights group PETA emerged from the audience.

1:11:27 > 1:11:33They were quickly chased down and subdued by security staff.

1:11:33 > 1:11:37You can see Tease obviously being held by her owner who was quite

1:11:37 > 1:11:37concerned.

1:11:37 > 1:11:40No animals or owners were harmed.

1:11:40 > 1:11:45Which is good news. It is 711 in the morning.

1:11:45 > 1:11:48Hundreds of people who were in the same pub and restaurant

1:11:48 > 1:11:50as the former Russian spy and his daughter

1:11:50 > 1:11:53when they were poisoned with a nerve agent in Salisbury,

1:11:53 > 1:11:55have been told to wash their clothes, watches,

1:11:55 > 1:12:01phones and anything else they had on them at the time.

1:12:01 > 1:12:01low

1:12:01 > 1:12:07and the action has been recommended as a precaution.

1:12:07 > 1:12:09-- Public Health England says the risk is very

1:12:09 > 1:12:09low

1:12:09 > 1:12:12and the action has been recommended as a precaution.

1:12:12 > 1:12:15Professor Alistair Hay is an expert in Toxicology from the University

1:12:15 > 1:12:16of Leeds and joins us now.

1:12:16 > 1:12:20Good morning, thank you. First of all, we don't know or you don't know

1:12:20 > 1:12:25as yet, do you, exactly what the substance is?All we know is it is a

1:12:25 > 1:12:28nerve agent of one kind, there are a variety of different kinds but the

1:12:28 > 1:12:31reasons unknown the government hasn't said exactly what it is.Do

1:12:31 > 1:12:36we know why it has taken one week for this advice to come out? Is it

1:12:36 > 1:12:40because it has taken a long time to assess it and analyse what the

1:12:40 > 1:12:43substance is?Absolutely. They will have to be doing in Salisbury is

1:12:43 > 1:12:46just trying to assess what contamination may be in different

1:12:46 > 1:12:50places and this takes time. The collection of the samples is one

1:12:50 > 1:12:54aspect of it but the processing time in the laboratory is considerable.

1:12:54 > 1:12:58You have to do extensive cleanup of samples before you can process them

1:12:58 > 1:13:04through equipment.Maybe they haven't told us because of security

1:13:04 > 1:13:08reasons but once they know what it is, ones that tell them where it

1:13:08 > 1:13:12would have come from originally?It is possible. They will do exactly

1:13:12 > 1:13:15what the agent is and the dock is treating the father and daughter

1:13:15 > 1:13:20would've been told and that would guide their treatment. -- doctors.

1:13:20 > 1:13:23From an environmental Sample, if they can tell that the cursor

1:13:23 > 1:13:28chemicals that may have been used to make the nerve agent, they may be

1:13:28 > 1:13:31present, also unwanted reaction products in any chemical reaction to

1:13:31 > 1:13:35make something of a combination of those things helps to give you a

1:13:35 > 1:13:38sort of fingerprint that might suggest which laboratory came from.

1:13:38 > 1:13:41If you are watching this in Salisbury, what sort of risk factor

1:13:41 > 1:13:46are we talking about. Should you be concerned or is this precautionary?

1:13:46 > 1:13:50It is absolutely a precautionary measure. If people had been exposed

1:13:50 > 1:13:54they would have had symptoms by now. With the government is doing or

1:13:54 > 1:13:58public health England is recommending, is coming to avoid

1:13:58 > 1:14:02repeated contact and we know that with repeated contact you can get a

1:14:02 > 1:14:05buildup, an accumulation if you like, in the body, which may take

1:14:05 > 1:14:09you to a threshold where there could be a problem. The evidence suggests

1:14:09 > 1:14:14the exposures would have been very low, the concentration in the

1:14:14 > 1:14:18environment is low this is a precautionary measure. It may be a

1:14:18 > 1:14:21bit inconvenient for people but the government is playing safe. I think

1:14:21 > 1:14:26it is in a difficult position. If one did become ill at some point and

1:14:26 > 1:14:31it was known that the government knew about this, it would have got a

1:14:31 > 1:14:35lot of stick so here it is saying follow this advice and this will

1:14:35 > 1:14:39guarantee your safety.Talk to us if you would a little bit about the

1:14:39 > 1:14:43difference between a nerve agent and polonium, for example, which we know

1:14:43 > 1:14:48has been used before.

1:14:48 > 1:14:54Nerve agents are chemical. Polonium is also chemical but it's

1:14:54 > 1:15:00radioactive. Radioactive agents usually poison over a longer time.

1:15:00 > 1:15:05Radiation gradually destroys cells. It takes some time to become

1:15:05 > 1:15:09manifest. With a nerve agent, depending on the route of the

1:15:09 > 1:15:11Administration, you are looking at something that could have an effect

1:15:11 > 1:15:17in minutes or even hours or days later.Is this something you could

1:15:17 > 1:15:22make yourself? Is it freely available? Is it dark Web type

1:15:22 > 1:15:27material?It was freely available, we would be in real difficulty.

1:15:27 > 1:15:33These are highly restricted chemicals. Of course, competent

1:15:33 > 1:15:40chemists can make these things. Look at the structure and find out how

1:15:40 > 1:15:47can combine these things to make finished agent. They are at high

1:15:47 > 1:15:51risk because of exposure and leakage from equipment.It's been

1:15:51 > 1:15:54fascinating to talk to you.

1:15:54 > 1:16:00Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

1:16:01 > 1:16:07A bit of everything this morning. Good morning to you. Some wet

1:16:07 > 1:16:11weather around. The driest weather in Scotland but grab something

1:16:11 > 1:16:16waterproof, there will be plenty of showers. Longer spells of brain in

1:16:16 > 1:16:21northern England as well. The tell-tale sign is the fact that the

1:16:21 > 1:16:27cloud is revolving in this anticlockwise direction. The further

1:16:27 > 1:16:33north you go, Scotland and Northern Ireland. One or two to north-east of

1:16:33 > 1:16:42Scotland. It's here where you will be dodging the showers all day. That

1:16:42 > 1:16:48rain will continue for many. Some gaps between the showers. We see

1:16:48 > 1:16:54them in south-east England. This is where the could be the odd rumble of

1:16:54 > 1:17:01thunder mixed in. The western side of Scotland, a few showers into the

1:17:01 > 1:17:09afternoon. Any brightness in the south, we could see temperatures at

1:17:09 > 1:17:1611, 12 degrees. Continuing with the rain tonight across the eastern half

1:17:16 > 1:17:22of England. One or two showers into the West. Some clearer skies around

1:17:22 > 1:17:28tonight. Them last night. A touch of frost, some distant fog patches. We

1:17:28 > 1:17:35have seen some late showers. For tomorrow, in between low pressure.

1:17:35 > 1:17:40This little bump on the isobars, a Richard Pye pressure which signals

1:17:40 > 1:17:48fine weather for many. Some outbreaks of rain which will clear.

1:17:48 > 1:17:55Fairly well scattered. Most places will avoid them. It will be fairly

1:17:55 > 1:18:00pleasant when the sun is out. Temperatures in parts of Scotland

1:18:00 > 1:18:04could get into double figures. Wednesday, a cool start to eastern

1:18:04 > 1:18:12areas. Throughout the day, East Anglia and the south-east, the cloud

1:18:12 > 1:18:18thicken up for some occasional rain. Northern Ireland, Southwest Wales

1:18:18 > 1:18:24and Cornwall, the rain persistent. Those wins coming up in the south,

1:18:24 > 1:18:31pushing temperatures for many into double figures. We see temperatures,

1:18:31 > 1:18:34but the sunshine lifting. Overall through the working week, fairly

1:18:34 > 1:18:42mild. We differ in midweek onwards. Before we get too complacent, always

1:18:42 > 1:18:45bring terms and conditions, things could turn a little bit colder wants

1:18:45 > 1:18:52more of the time we hit next week.

1:18:52 > 1:18:59I'm just going to ignore it. Can we put a little sticker up?I just feel

1:18:59 > 1:19:05like building new.

1:19:05 > 1:19:09The energy industry say that more people switched electricity supply

1:19:09 > 1:19:14last month than ever before.And there is a good bit of news. Energy

1:19:14 > 1:19:18UK represents all the providers and they have said there were 660,000

1:19:18 > 1:19:23people in February alone who switched, the highest number ever

1:19:23 > 1:19:31recorded. That's about 24,000 a day. Also, that is up 60% compared to

1:19:31 > 1:19:39February last year. It's a big rise. There is now commitment between lots

1:19:39 > 1:19:43of the providers called the energy switch guarantee which makes it

1:19:43 > 1:19:48simpler, faster and safer to switch your supply. That has made a bit of

1:19:48 > 1:19:55a difference. It's probably because we keep on about it. As long as

1:19:55 > 1:20:00people are getting a good deal. That's the main thing. They are

1:20:00 > 1:20:03saying lots of people are saving money and there have been over a

1:20:03 > 1:20:16million people so far who have saved from switching.

1:20:20 > 1:20:21We

1:20:21 > 1:20:22have had unprecedented

1:20:22 > 1:20:25The number of people detained in mental health hospitals

1:20:25 > 1:20:27in England has risen by 40% in a decade.

1:20:27 > 1:20:31One of those was 20-year-old Tee who was 18 when she was sectioned.

1:20:31 > 1:20:33Breakfast has had unprecedented access to the secure

1:20:33 > 1:20:37hospital where Tee's been staying - and in the first of two special

1:20:37 > 1:20:39reports, Graham Satchell joined her as she prepared

1:20:39 > 1:20:40to have her section lifted.

1:20:40 > 1:20:41So, any worries?

1:20:41 > 1:20:42How are you feeling?

1:20:42 > 1:20:45I'm a bit nervous because obviously I've been here for quite awhile

1:20:45 > 1:20:47so it becomes kind of normal, the routine.

1:20:47 > 1:20:51Tee has been locked up for her own safety for almost two years.

1:20:51 > 1:20:53No sharp objects, not even a mirror.

1:20:53 > 1:20:55She was detained under the Mental Health Act just

1:20:55 > 1:20:56after turning 18.

1:20:56 > 1:20:59I just remember feeling every emotion under the sun.

1:20:59 > 1:20:59I was scared.

1:20:59 > 1:21:03I felt upset that I've let my family down, I felt a bit lost.

1:21:03 > 1:21:05Initially it was really horrible and a really

1:21:05 > 1:21:09scary process and I started to realise that that was what I needed.

1:21:09 > 1:21:11They didn't section me for no reason.

1:21:11 > 1:21:19There was obviously a reason why.

1:21:19 > 1:21:21Tee has been treated at St Andrews in Northampton,

1:21:21 > 1:21:25one of the biggest secure mental health hospitals in the first time

1:21:25 > 1:21:27news cameras have been allowed.

1:21:27 > 1:21:29Tee's problems started when she was 14.

1:21:29 > 1:21:33I used to self-harm so that got more intense and quite serious and things

1:21:33 > 1:21:36like overdosing, which obviously I look back on now and am

1:21:36 > 1:21:37glad nothing worked.

1:21:37 > 1:21:37glad nothing worked.

1:21:37 > 1:21:40Things like that, just spiralled out of

1:21:40 > 1:21:42control and I felt like I couldn't cope anymore.

1:21:42 > 1:21:50Tee, it's almost time to leave hospital.

1:21:50 > 1:21:52How do you think you've done in your time here?

1:21:52 > 1:21:55When I first got here, I was really anxious

1:21:55 > 1:21:57and thought I would be here forever.

1:21:57 > 1:21:59Tee has worked hard to get to this point.

1:21:59 > 1:22:02With therapy and medication, she has learnt to manage her emotions

1:22:02 > 1:22:05but the number of people being detained in mental health

1:22:05 > 1:22:07hospitals in England has gone up 40% in a decade.

1:22:07 > 1:22:10The majority of our patients are detained patients.

1:22:10 > 1:22:13They are here under a section of the Mental Health Act.

1:22:13 > 1:22:15Sadly there is an inexhaustible supply of damaged

1:22:15 > 1:22:18young women out there who could replace the ladies

1:22:18 > 1:22:18who are leaving.

1:22:18 > 1:22:20Why are numbers so high?

1:22:20 > 1:22:23The moment of crisis for Tee came issued from child to adult mental

1:22:23 > 1:22:24health services.

1:22:24 > 1:22:26The criteria for getting help as an adult is different.

1:22:26 > 1:22:28Waiting times are longer.

1:22:28 > 1:22:31As she turned 18, Tee had months of no support and ended up

1:22:31 > 1:22:32taking an overdose.

1:22:32 > 1:22:35I felt like I was kind of just left so that gap,

1:22:35 > 1:22:37it really made me worse.

1:22:37 > 1:22:40I deteriortated, I felt like nobody cared, I pushed the ones

1:22:40 > 1:22:42I loved the most away because they thought,

1:22:42 > 1:22:45they don't care so I don't care.

1:22:45 > 1:22:50It was really difficult having that period of support.

1:22:50 > 1:22:52Transition is supposed to be a gradual managed

1:22:52 > 1:22:56period from children's mental health services to adult mental health

1:22:56 > 1:22:59services but for many young people, it's like falling off a cliff edge

1:22:59 > 1:23:02and that's how many young people describe that process.

1:23:02 > 1:23:05So there's a long, long way to go before we have anything looking

1:23:05 > 1:23:08like optimal young people.

1:23:08 > 1:23:09I'm still crying.

1:23:09 > 1:23:10Tee is saying her last goodbyes.

1:23:10 > 1:23:11Well done, Tee.

1:23:11 > 1:23:15Better things are coming.

1:23:15 > 1:23:21It doesn't all have to be so miserable.

1:23:21 > 1:23:24I'm actually excited to get out and live my life.

1:23:24 > 1:23:27NHS England told us they're spelling spending an extra £280 million

1:23:27 > 1:23:31a year and trialling new models of care, young people moving

1:23:31 > 1:23:34to adult mental health services at 25 rather than 18.

1:23:34 > 1:23:37But they acknowledge too many young people are not getting the treatment

1:23:37 > 1:23:39they should expect.

1:23:39 > 1:23:42You did it.

1:23:42 > 1:23:43We did.

1:23:43 > 1:23:45Tee is one success story.

1:23:45 > 1:23:53Graham Satchell, BBC News.

1:23:57 > 1:24:03and many thanks to Tee to letting us follow a look at her story.

1:24:03 > 1:24:07Tomorrow, we will be asking that question, if there is enough support

1:24:07 > 1:24:10in the community. To stop people like Tee being readmitted to

1:24:10 > 1:24:21hospital. And eating else we are talking about as well.

1:24:21 > 1:24:24There's a big treasure hunt going on right across the UK

1:24:24 > 1:24:27with primary school children looking for books by Shakespeare.

1:24:27 > 1:24:29Breakfast's Tim Muffett is in Rotherham for us this

1:24:29 > 1:24:29morning.

1:24:29 > 1:24:40Good morning. We are harnessing our inner Bhatia. For the launch of

1:24:40 > 1:24:45Shakespeare week.

1:24:46 > 1:24:49Shakespeare week. The idea is to celebrate and learn about the

1:24:49 > 1:24:58greatest playwright of all. The other people to read and enjoy. They

1:24:58 > 1:25:03are going to be wrapped up and left in special places. We have been

1:25:03 > 1:25:07McMillan, the bard of Barnsley, getting the kids into a

1:25:07 > 1:25:12Shakespearean mood as well. Lots to talk about. Why should young people

1:25:12 > 1:25:17be celebrating Shakespeare?He invented so many words that we now

1:25:17 > 1:28:43use every day, especially.But behold, it is a dagger I

1:28:43 > 1:28:46are going to drop a little as we head the weekend.

1:28:46 > 1:28:48I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

1:28:48 > 1:28:51in half an hour.

1:28:52 > 1:28:55Hello this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

1:28:55 > 1:28:58Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.

1:28:58 > 1:29:05The comedian Sir Ken Dodd has died at the age of 90.

1:29:05 > 1:29:10How tickled I am but all this goodwill. What about you Mrs? Have

1:29:10 > 1:29:13you been tickled by goodwill?

1:29:13 > 1:29:16Described by his publicist as "one of the last music hall greats,"

1:29:16 > 1:29:19Sir Ken was known for his marathon stage performances and the creation

1:29:19 > 1:29:22of the Diddy Men and the tickling stick.

1:29:22 > 1:29:24The Liverpool based performer had recently been treated in hospital

1:29:24 > 1:29:27for a chest infection.

1:29:27 > 1:29:33You have approximately 30 seconds to make friends with the audience. You

1:29:33 > 1:29:37can play an audience like you play in instrument, you know where the

1:29:37 > 1:29:43hotspots are, where they need coaxing, where you can float. At

1:29:43 > 1:29:48midnight, ladies, your husband, your boyfriend, or both of them!

1:29:48 > 1:29:52Some of Ken Dodd's fans and former colleagues have been paying

1:29:52 > 1:29:54Radio presenter Stephanie Hirst reminised about seeing him on stage,

1:29:54 > 1:30:00saying:

1:30:00 > 1:30:03Actor Rory Cowan posted a picture of himself with Ken,

1:30:03 > 1:30:06saying:

1:30:14 > 1:30:17And comedian Robin Ince made reference to his run in with HMRC:

1:30:34 > 1:30:37In other news, a bitter row has broken out at the top

1:30:37 > 1:30:40of the Labour Party with a shadow cabinet minister

1:30:40 > 1:30:42being removed from her post, apparently against her will.

1:30:42 > 1:30:45Labour says Debbie Abrahams stepped down as spokeswoman on Work

1:30:45 > 1:30:47and Pensions while an employment issue is investigated.

1:30:47 > 1:30:51But Mrs Abrahams claims that she's the victim of a bullying culture

1:30:51 > 1:30:59in the party.

1:31:01 > 1:31:04Five people have died after a helicopter they were travelling

1:31:04 > 1:31:07in crashed into the East River in New York last night.

1:31:07 > 1:31:10Police say the pilot managed to free himself and was pulled out

1:31:10 > 1:31:11of the water by rescuers.

1:31:11 > 1:31:12He's now left hospital.

1:31:12 > 1:31:16An investigation will be held to determine the cause of the crash.

1:31:16 > 1:31:18The former commander of the UK's maritime forces says Britain's

1:31:18 > 1:31:21ability to "fight and win on the frontline" was being affected

1:31:21 > 1:31:22by budget cuts.

1:31:22 > 1:31:27Rear Admiral Alex Burton said the UK is at risk of losing its status

1:31:27 > 1:31:29as a "credible military power".

1:31:29 > 1:31:32He's the latest in a long line of senior military figures to call

1:31:32 > 1:31:34for more spending on defence.

1:31:34 > 1:31:36The government said spending is growing to meet ever-changing

1:31:36 > 1:31:39threats.

1:31:39 > 1:31:42A new survey suggests almost two thirds of doctors in some parts

1:31:42 > 1:31:46of the UK feel patient safety has deteriorated over the past year.

1:31:46 > 1:31:48The report by the Royal College of Physicians

1:31:48 > 1:31:51found that growing pressures on NHS staff have led to concerns

1:31:51 > 1:31:52about patient care.

1:31:52 > 1:31:54The government says it's absolutely committed to making the NHS

1:31:54 > 1:32:02the safest healthcare system in the world.

1:32:03 > 1:32:07I feel that we have reached a new moment, we're actually going to fall

1:32:07 > 1:32:12out the next story. We have been arguing about this for the last hour

1:32:12 > 1:32:16or so. It is to do with scones. Where do you put the jam on question

1:32:16 > 1:32:23mark before or after the cream. The National trust property in Cornwall,

1:32:23 > 1:32:26which is important, has apologised to advertising its cream teas with

1:32:26 > 1:32:31the jam on top of the cream. Because it is a different tradition. This is

1:32:31 > 1:32:37the offending advert, it shows off its cream teas for mothering day. It

1:32:37 > 1:32:43is wrong, isn't it? It is not wrong! As you can clearly see, the jam is

1:32:43 > 1:32:48on first. Basing jam on first was all about their identity, residents

1:32:48 > 1:32:54say. As you can see, that is correct, everybody. I don't know

1:32:54 > 1:32:58whether it is from Devon or Cornwall but I argue with the order. I think

1:32:58 > 1:33:04it should be scones, cream, jam. The staff know where these badges. --

1:33:04 > 1:33:11will now wear these. Today I have formed a political party and we are

1:33:11 > 1:33:18called jam first because I put a pole on social media, over 70% of

1:33:18 > 1:33:23people are in agreement that you go jam first and I will let you into a

1:33:23 > 1:33:27secret, you are backtracking, you are saying hold on a minute, what

1:33:27 > 1:33:31happens if it is a hot scone. You cannot put the cream on first

1:33:31 > 1:33:37because it will melt. That is why you put the jam on first! I like

1:33:37 > 1:33:40that he brought in a private conversation to win that argument.

1:33:40 > 1:33:45They would never be hot. They would be warm. You are doing a classic

1:33:45 > 1:33:49diversionary tactic. You have realised that you have wandered down

1:33:49 > 1:33:52the road... I am not going to change, I have been doing this for

1:33:52 > 1:33:57many years. You have a supporter in me. The one with jam and cream on

1:33:57 > 1:34:02top? We are losing. He has done a poll. It is eight cream- jam poll.

1:34:02 > 1:34:08Anyway. We have sorted it out. What is happening in the sport.

1:34:08 > 1:34:10We've been looking forward to snowboarding making its debut

1:34:10 > 1:34:13at the Games but it's not gone quite to plan.

1:34:13 > 1:34:18Let's get the latest from our reporter in Pyeongchang Kate Grey.

1:34:18 > 1:34:23-- you know how they push off the start gate and then they chase each

1:34:23 > 1:34:25other down the snowboard cross track?

1:34:25 > 1:34:28Let's get the latest from our reporter in Pyeongchang Kate Grey.

1:34:28 > 1:34:29Kate, what's going on?

1:34:29 > 1:34:35Have we seen any snowboarding this morning?Yes, you will be pleased to

1:34:35 > 1:34:39hear the snowboarding Cross did go ahead today. The temperature has

1:34:39 > 1:34:43increased quite a bit here, you would be up to see behind me there

1:34:43 > 1:34:47is no snow over the last week and when you are here at the Olympics

1:34:47 > 1:34:52they have a lot of snow and it was cold and now it is up to about 16

1:34:52 > 1:34:55degrees. It is late afternoon to the temperature is dropping that they

1:34:55 > 1:34:58haven't all sorts of issues in the snowboarding with the start date.

1:34:58 > 1:35:02Have the issues that the start gate should drop down of the skaters

1:35:02 > 1:35:07crossed the line and unfortunately it was not and athletes were falling

1:35:07 > 1:35:12over so they brought in rope over the athletes were then having to

1:35:12 > 1:35:16cross rope to get into their race is a really not ideal situations but

1:35:16 > 1:35:21luckily, it has gone ahead, it is just about coming to an end and we

1:35:21 > 1:35:24have had three British athletes in action and unfortunately none of

1:35:24 > 1:35:27them made it through to the final rounds to fight it out for the

1:35:27 > 1:35:31medals but we had Owen Pick and then more making it through to the

1:35:31 > 1:35:34elimination round and written best result came from James Barnes-Miller

1:35:34 > 1:35:39who made it through to the quarterfinal. -- Ben Moore.. I am

1:35:39 > 1:35:42joined by James, the first time competing at a Paralympic games and

1:35:42 > 1:35:46the great written, what an honour to be a debutante to the British team.

1:35:46 > 1:35:51It is meagre, we are the first team to represent Paralympic GB and it is

1:35:51 > 1:36:01Mecca.-- mega. Were you affected by the problems they had?The racing

1:36:01 > 1:36:05was good, I hope everyone enjoyed it, I am happy, as long as I raced

1:36:05 > 1:36:09well I am happy. The start date isn't ideal but we carried on racing

1:36:09 > 1:36:14so it is a winner.Classic order attitude there, do not let it frees

1:36:14 > 1:36:19up, but you are actually in December 2017 you had your kit stolen, was

1:36:19 > 1:36:23there a time may be where you thought you wouldn't even be at the

1:36:23 > 1:36:29games?Never crossed my mind, it was... I just had to think more like

1:36:29 > 1:36:33how am I going to get to the next race and I had loads of sport, the

1:36:33 > 1:36:36BBC helped me massively and I managed to get everything sorted

1:36:36 > 1:36:40really quickly as well, the support was excellent, all over the world,

1:36:40 > 1:36:45dies at home, new sponsors, my funding pages went mental,

1:36:45 > 1:36:50incredible.Looking forward to the banks level later in the week.Yes,

1:36:50 > 1:36:55a couple of days off and then we get going and the course was incredible

1:36:55 > 1:36:59today, hopefully the bank slalom will also be and it will be awesome.

1:36:59 > 1:37:03Congratulations today and the best of luck and to update you there have

1:37:03 > 1:37:07been some curling going on and to the British team have beaten Sweden

1:37:07 > 1:37:10which means they will be back to their winning ways and they have won

1:37:27 > 1:37:31Tottenham and England fans will be waiting for the results of a scan

1:37:31 > 1:37:32today on Harry Kane's ankle.

1:37:32 > 1:37:35He was forced off during Spurs' 4-1 win over Bournemouth yesterday,

1:37:35 > 1:37:38but they managed OK without their top scorer,

1:37:38 > 1:37:41Heung-Min Son finding the net twice as Tottenham climbed to third

1:37:41 > 1:37:41in the table.

1:37:41 > 1:37:45Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger says his team need to get the fans

1:37:45 > 1:37:47back on their side after their recent poor form.

1:37:47 > 1:37:50And the players did their bit yesterday, beating Watford 3-0.

1:37:50 > 1:37:53There were still plenty of empty seats at The Emirates, though.

1:37:53 > 1:37:54Quite a celebration there.

1:37:54 > 1:37:58There was a cracking Old Firm derby in the Scottish Premiership -

1:37:58 > 1:38:01Josh Windass put Rangers ahead at Ibrox after just three minutes.

1:38:01 > 1:38:03It was 2-2 at half-time before Celtic snatched victory,

1:38:03 > 1:38:07thanks to Odsonne Edouard.

1:38:07 > 1:38:11Wales moved up to second place in the Six Nations table after 38-14

1:38:11 > 1:38:12victory over Italy in Cardiff.

1:38:12 > 1:38:14George North scored two of their five tries,

1:38:14 > 1:38:17securing the bonus win - a great result for a much-changed

1:38:17 > 1:38:18Wales side.

1:38:18 > 1:38:22Not such good news for Wales' women - they suffered a surprise 22-15

1:38:22 > 1:38:24home defeat home to bottom side Italy.

1:38:24 > 1:38:27They got to within two points of the Italians but they were undone

1:38:27 > 1:38:31by a late try.

1:38:31 > 1:38:34Scotland beat Ireland for the first time in Women's Six Nations history.

1:38:34 > 1:38:37Chloe Rollee ran practically the entire length of the pitch

1:38:37 > 1:38:41to score the second of the Scots two tries, as they earned

1:38:41 > 1:38:46a 15-12 victory.

1:38:46 > 1:38:48There was a really disappointing defeat for British number one

1:38:48 > 1:38:50Kyle Edmund at the Indian Wells Open.

1:38:50 > 1:38:53It was his first match since reaching the semifinals

1:38:53 > 1:38:55of the Australian Open and overtaking Andy Murray

1:38:55 > 1:38:58in the rankings, but he was beaten in straight sets by lucky loser

1:38:58 > 1:39:02Dudi Sela of Israel, who's the world number 97.

1:39:02 > 1:39:05Serena Williams will play her sister Venus tonight in the third

1:39:05 > 1:39:07round at Indian Wells as she continues her comeback

1:39:07 > 1:39:11after the birth of her daughter.

1:39:11 > 1:39:16Six months after having a baby, back in action, and she has to take on

1:39:16 > 1:39:17her sister. Always drama.

1:39:17 > 1:39:20Now, this isn't something we usually do on Breakfast because you're

1:39:20 > 1:39:23probably eating right now, but we're going to talk

1:39:23 > 1:39:24about dog mess.

1:39:24 > 1:39:30A campaign against dog poo has started in a village in

1:39:30 > 1:39:31Cambridgshire.

1:39:31 > 1:39:34The idea is if you spot muck on the floor, you upload

1:39:34 > 1:39:38the location of it on to a map, and it's hoped this will encourage

1:39:38 > 1:39:39people to pick it up.

1:39:39 > 1:39:42We've been asking if the idea will catch on.

1:39:42 > 1:39:45It's a good idea but I think it's aimed at the wrong people,

1:39:45 > 1:39:51people that don't pick their dog faeces up.

1:39:51 > 1:39:52It's not difficult, is it?

1:39:52 > 1:39:55It's not difficult to pick up your dog's mess.

1:39:55 > 1:39:57I just don't understand why people still don't,

1:39:57 > 1:39:59and they obviously don't by the amount I've seen

1:39:59 > 1:40:04left here today.

1:40:04 > 1:40:12A lot of places, they only have one bin and it's not really enough.

1:40:12 > 1:40:14We just want people picking it up.

1:40:14 > 1:40:21Look after their dogs and be responsible dog owners.

1:40:21 > 1:40:24Being stuck doing it in and picking up after yourself and putting it

1:40:24 > 1:40:28in the bin.

1:40:28 > 1:40:31Put it in the dog bings, that's what we do.

1:40:31 > 1:40:36I just find it is really frustrating.

1:40:36 > 1:40:40We always carry a bag and we alsays pick up our own stuff but we noticed

1:40:40 > 1:40:48just across there, there's a bin.

1:40:49 > 1:40:53Thank you very much for all of your comments. I know you clearly care

1:40:53 > 1:40:53about this.

1:40:53 > 1:40:56With us now is Amanda Carlin in Wimblington, who came up

1:40:56 > 1:40:59with the idea, and here in the studio is Allison Ogden-Newton

1:40:59 > 1:41:00from Keep Britain Tidy.

1:41:00 > 1:41:05Morning both. Amanda and Molly, I should say, we will introduce you as

1:41:05 > 1:41:12well. We cannot with this idea, why and exactly, explained to us people

1:41:12 > 1:41:18are meant to do.OK. Well, the reason that we came up with the idea

1:41:18 > 1:41:24is because we were discussing it on Facebook on the Facebook page for

1:41:24 > 1:41:29Bridlington, people do feel aggrieved that not everybody picks

1:41:29 > 1:41:38up after their pets. -- Wimblington. We need to find a way to pick up on

1:41:38 > 1:41:42this so we came up with the idea of mapping and monitoring where the to

1:41:42 > 1:41:47is left.

1:41:47 > 1:41:56is left. And -- to people will let us know where they have seed doodoos

1:41:56 > 1:42:00left, we put it on faith or, some people take photographs and give us

1:42:00 > 1:42:08detailed information so cash can put it on the map for us. -- Natasha. We

1:42:08 > 1:42:12treat to the District Council, they have a pick up initiative where they

1:42:12 > 1:42:17are doing on the spot fines and £75, and that pinpoints the areas that

1:42:17 > 1:42:22are worst affected.Either you have not been doing it for long but is it

1:42:22 > 1:42:27making a difference?Well, Guess, on Saturday, well, Friday, we had no

1:42:27 > 1:42:32sightings at all. Saturday we had one in the morning and one in the

1:42:32 > 1:42:37afternoon but sadly, yesterday, there were a lot of sightings. We

1:42:37 > 1:42:42have to keep monitoring. Yeah. But it is having an impact and it could

1:42:42 > 1:42:47be, you know, the District Council were not available to go and pick

1:42:47 > 1:42:51up. I have to say it is not just the District Council but do the picking

1:42:51 > 1:43:00up, the responsible dog owners pick up after other pets. The

1:43:01 > 1:43:03up after other pets. The people of the area are proud of their village

1:43:03 > 1:43:08and rightly so, it is beautiful, Sir as a responsible community we are

1:43:08 > 1:43:11doing something about the problem. Did you think things like this make

1:43:11 > 1:43:17a difference, that the map scheme and other schemes generally?We

1:43:17 > 1:43:20think it is brilliant, it is about getting people involved and making

1:43:20 > 1:43:24them think twice to the fact that our collecting evidence and urging

1:43:24 > 1:43:30people to think about what they are doing because campaigns we have run,

1:43:30 > 1:43:33it is all about getting people to think about what they would do if

1:43:33 > 1:43:37they were being watched. We find that if people think that they

1:43:37 > 1:43:41behave differently when they are being watched than they do behave

1:43:41 > 1:43:45differently and this is spot on, it makes people who go out at night in

1:43:45 > 1:43:48particular are not picking up that actually, if someone was watching

1:43:48 > 1:43:53them, they would pick up.We talk about this, it comes down to people

1:43:53 > 1:43:57getting into contact to say it is a selfishness issue, it is the issue

1:43:57 > 1:44:02of hanging your dog to in aid bag and living on a tree or whatever. --

1:44:02 > 1:44:07old mess. -- are bag. It is essentially just being nice to other

1:44:07 > 1:44:16humans, isn't it, and picking up?It is not a nice, it is safe, dog mess

1:44:16 > 1:44:22is a health method. They cannot keep playground Faith because of dog mess

1:44:22 > 1:44:29so it is important. But the Forsayth. On the wiki got a message

1:44:29 > 1:44:33from the great British spring clean crew who've been picking up dog mess

1:44:33 > 1:44:38bags out of bushes that do not belong to their dogs. We have people

1:44:38 > 1:44:42up and down the country picking up after other people's dogs because

1:44:42 > 1:44:45like the people in Cambridgeshire they are proud of where they live

1:44:45 > 1:44:49and they don't want to look at it. Amanda, from what you've seen so

1:44:49 > 1:44:56far, are there particular areas which seemed to be problematic.

1:44:56 > 1:45:01Well, we have had communication from almost 50 different communities and

1:45:01 > 1:45:06other local authorities asking for help. Because they are also proud of

1:45:06 > 1:45:11their community and they want to deal with the problem. It is a

1:45:11 > 1:45:16nationwide problem.Sorry to interrupt you, what I wanted to know

1:45:16 > 1:45:20is with your map that you are doing, can you see that there are areas

1:45:20 > 1:45:27where there are issues?

1:45:27 > 1:45:34There are some hotspots. People can avoid them. That's one of the

1:45:34 > 1:45:39reasons why we did the mapping, so that people know were at safer and

1:45:39 > 1:45:46not safe to walk. It's not fair on mothers with pushchairs. Walking

1:45:46 > 1:45:50their children to school. It's good to them to know there has been a

1:45:50 > 1:46:02sighting on that route, avoid it. Are we winning the battle?135

1:46:02 > 1:46:08councils are using it. It is one of the things we have achieved a

1:46:08 > 1:46:14tipping point on.

1:46:15 > 1:46:19tipping point on. You only need a few dog owners going out twice a day

1:46:19 > 1:46:23and you got yourself a sport. We need to keep the pressure on and

1:46:23 > 1:46:27keep the message out there to bag it and bin it. Any bid will do. Not a

1:46:27 > 1:46:35tree or a bush.I went out without a pre- bagged the other day but I did

1:46:35 > 1:46:43use an elaborate belief system to put said deposit in the bin. Happy

1:46:43 > 1:46:49pages in that? I'm not sure it will catch on. It took some time to

1:46:49 > 1:46:54construct. Thank you both very much. Is Molly Yorkshire terrier cross?

1:46:54 > 1:47:02She is.Thank you very much indeed.

1:47:02 > 1:47:05Here's Matt with a look at this morning's weather.

1:47:10 > 1:47:15Some foul weather the parts of the country today but certainly not in

1:47:15 > 1:47:21the West of Scotland. This is the view in Durham at the moment. Very

1:47:21 > 1:47:27murky across parts of northern England. Low pressure paying a big

1:47:27 > 1:47:32playing a big part in the weather. The tell-tale sign is the cloud is

1:47:32 > 1:47:40circulating. A lot of dry weather to come. Western Scotland has seen the

1:47:40 > 1:47:47best of the sunshine. Much of the time, it will be dry. Let us look at

1:47:47 > 1:47:52the finer details. Some longer spells of rain this morning. That

1:47:52 > 1:47:58will break up a little bit into the afternoon. The showers will be their

1:47:58 > 1:48:01heaviest through parts of the Midlands this afternoon. Maybe the

1:48:01 > 1:48:06odd rumble of thunder. If you are heading out, something waterproof is

1:48:06 > 1:48:15advisable. Scotland and Northern Ireland, by and large, in eastern

1:48:15 > 1:48:21coast, temperatures double figures. Tonight, still some outbreaks of

1:48:21 > 1:48:26rain through the eastern half of the country. Some clearer skies around

1:48:26 > 1:48:34tonight. Temperatures will drop far enough to touch of frost. Tuesday is

1:48:34 > 1:48:39a bit of a weather window as far as we are concerned. Low pressure to

1:48:39 > 1:48:43the West coming in on Wednesday. That is the area of low pressure. A

1:48:43 > 1:48:50little Richard Pye pressure. Fewer showers around. The rain will clear.

1:48:50 > 1:48:56One to light drifting eastwards. But the vast majority, predominantly

1:48:56 > 1:49:03dry. Some sunny spells. Once you've got to do that. It actually feels

1:49:03 > 1:49:09pleasant enough. Temperatures in most places, 9- 12 degrees.

1:49:09 > 1:49:14Wednesday, a bright start. We will see some sunshine. Plenty of cloud

1:49:14 > 1:49:20in the West. Occasional rain. Strong to gale force winds. Wednesday,

1:49:20 > 1:49:25another mild day.

1:49:27 > 1:49:31We've heard a lot about retailers struggling in the last few weeks -

1:49:31 > 1:49:34but Steph's here to tell us about more news for the high street

1:49:34 > 1:49:35street this morning.

1:49:35 > 1:49:39There is research out today about overall spending.

1:49:39 > 1:49:42Some big high street names like John Lewis have said sales

1:49:42 > 1:49:45are falling, others like New Look have closed stores, while Toys R Us

1:49:45 > 1:49:47and Maplin have both gone into administration.

1:49:47 > 1:49:49We've also seen some of the restaurant chains

1:49:49 > 1:49:51like Prezzo, Byron Burger and Jamie's Italian

1:49:51 > 1:49:52run into difficulties.

1:49:52 > 1:49:55Figures out today from Visa show that overall consumer spending

1:49:55 > 1:50:00is down.

1:50:00 > 1:50:03Figures out today from Visa show overall consumer spending is down.

1:50:03 > 1:50:06It's not a massive surprise that some people are struggling with

1:50:06 > 1:50:17this. Clare Bailey is with me. What is happening?

1:50:17 > 1:50:19is happening? We've got issues around consumer confidence since the

1:50:19 > 1:50:24general election. With the talk of the less than 400 Raid gauge to

1:50:24 > 1:50:29Brexit, whatever that may look like, the Bligh concerned as to what that

1:50:29 > 1:50:34might look like. Jobs and security. We have seen the retailers suffering

1:50:34 > 1:50:39increased costs. We have had the currency impact. Obviously they are

1:50:39 > 1:50:43not making the same profits they used to make on the products they

1:50:43 > 1:50:52sell. Swallow cost and make money or pass that extra cost on to consumers

1:50:52 > 1:50:55which increases the price of the product. It means we have less

1:50:55 > 1:51:00available income. Coupled with the fact the last three days of

1:51:00 > 1:51:04February, half the country was under snow. It has led to a considerable

1:51:04 > 1:51:10drop in the expected spending. This is coming at them from all angles.

1:51:10 > 1:51:17An named a few retailers. Various announcements because of what has

1:51:17 > 1:51:23been happening. Are there any which are doing well?Doing well in the

1:51:23 > 1:51:26context of the environment they are trading, sustaining businesses,

1:51:26 > 1:51:32keeping the customers happy. They would be one that you would be

1:51:32 > 1:51:35considering to do well. We are seeing some really strong performers

1:51:35 > 1:51:41from the on line retailers. I think that's indicative of the fact that

1:51:41 > 1:51:45consumers are much more comfortable these days with the on line spend

1:51:45 > 1:51:51and that has been detrimental to the high street. Sales in the on line

1:51:51 > 1:51:54arena, although overall down, they are far less oppressed than those on

1:51:54 > 1:51:59the high street which does post problems are those retailers which

1:51:59 > 1:52:03is why we are seeing the store closures and what's most worrying

1:52:03 > 1:52:08from my point of view is that up until recently, the casual dining

1:52:08 > 1:52:12industry was doing well as people were switching spending from buying

1:52:12 > 1:52:18stuff to having a social experience. Even that sector is seeing the

1:52:18 > 1:52:22impact of the consumer confidence. There is a way to go yet. Cleverly

1:52:22 > 1:52:27people will begin to see what is coming after the final exit and they

1:52:27 > 1:52:32will feel a lot more secure and that should bring some buoyancy back into

1:52:32 > 1:52:39the market.Our economy is largely driven by consumer spending. That is

1:52:39 > 1:52:41it from me for now.

1:52:41 > 1:52:44There's huge excitement this morning as primary school children take part

1:52:44 > 1:52:48in a treasure hunt to find books by Shakespeare that have been hidden

1:52:48 > 1:52:49right across the UK.

1:52:49 > 1:52:51The idea is to introduce works from the Bard

1:52:51 > 1:52:53earlier than at secondary school.

1:52:53 > 1:53:01Breakfast's Tim Muffett is with some children taking part this morning.

1:53:01 > 1:53:06Good morning to you. We are channelling our inner Bard this

1:53:06 > 1:53:09morning for the launch of this Shakespeare week, an event happening

1:53:09 > 1:53:14right across the UK. 12,000 primary schools in total will be taking

1:53:14 > 1:53:18part. The idea is to get children as young as six or seven rate

1:53:18 > 1:53:24interested in Shakespeare. We are Ian McMillan, the Bard of Barnsley,

1:53:24 > 1:53:28reading one of his poems and Jacqueline from the Shakespeare

1:53:28 > 1:53:36birthplace trust. Why is this so important?The trust is passionate

1:53:36 > 1:53:39about sharing Shakespeare with a world in inspiring new generations

1:53:39 > 1:53:45to share your stories so in 2014, we launched it to get every primary

1:53:45 > 1:53:49school child for an opportunity to be introduced to Shakespeare. They

1:53:49 > 1:53:53will then discover how accessible and enjoyable and engaging it can

1:53:53 > 1:54:03be.Domain to write you? What you know about Shakespeare?He died when

1:54:03 > 1:54:12he was 52. He got married at 18. He was born in 1564.You are also

1:54:12 > 1:54:17knowledgeable already. Let's have a chat with Tracy. Tells about this

1:54:17 > 1:54:22treasure hunt.People have signed up for the Shakespeare treasure hunt

1:54:22 > 1:54:28and the idea is the book by Marcy Williams is put into the envelope

1:54:28 > 1:54:33and send out into the community for people to search for.And you can

1:54:33 > 1:54:39follow its progress. If you look on Twitter, we will be tweeting some

1:54:39 > 1:54:43ideas about where you might find the bug. If you find it, you will need

1:54:43 > 1:54:51to tweet and let us know where it is. Not very many infant schools. We

1:54:51 > 1:54:54felt it would be a lovely opportunity for our children to

1:54:54 > 1:54:58develop some really good reading habits and find out a little bit

1:54:58 > 1:55:03about Shakespeare.

1:55:03 > 1:55:06about Shakespeare. Now going to interrupt an at work. You've written

1:55:06 > 1:55:12a special poem. Why are you backing this?Shakespeare is our national

1:55:12 > 1:55:17poet. The way we think and talk and form dramas in our everyday lives is

1:55:17 > 1:55:22due to Shakespeare. Everything that happens feels Shakespearean and

1:55:22 > 1:55:27sometimes it gets forgotten. Often there is a photograph of a chap with

1:55:27 > 1:55:32a beard but he is a person whose language ripples throughout our DNA.

1:55:32 > 1:55:36And is it sometimes a bit too detached from what young people are

1:55:36 > 1:55:43learning at the moment?He is, and he is quite ancient, dead a long

1:55:43 > 1:55:48time but the play is all about what is happening to us now. We can see

1:55:48 > 1:55:51Shakespearean things happening in the news all the time, all over the

1:55:51 > 1:55:57world. He very much as a person per hour times.You've written a special

1:55:57 > 1:56:02poem. Let us have a little excerpt. Everybody, the launch of Shakespeare

1:56:02 > 1:56:11week, take it away.What a noisy place this island is. I won't block

1:56:11 > 1:56:17my ears from the magic sound. Spells and incantations boil and fears,

1:56:17 > 1:56:24lightning bolts like snakes across the ground. Prospero is my name, my

1:56:24 > 1:56:28name is full of secret ways to make the oceans dance. The life of

1:56:28 > 1:56:34Prospero is never dull, I built a universe with luck and charts. See

1:56:34 > 1:56:40that boat out there?I formed the storm... Really enjoying that. We

1:56:40 > 2:00:02should have more Shakespeare.

2:00:02 > 2:00:03in half an hour.

2:00:03 > 2:00:06Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

2:00:08 > 2:00:11Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

2:00:11 > 2:00:15The entertainer, Sir Ken Dodd, has died at the age of 90.

2:01:49 > 2:01:53but all three have been knocked out.

2:01:53 > 2:01:56And Matt has the weather.

2:01:56 > 2:02:03Good morning. Scotland is the place to be if you want something dry and

2:02:03 > 2:02:09reasonably bright. Elsewhere, outbreaks of rain, wet in parts of

2:02:50 > 2:02:53with a gift for the surreal.

2:02:53 > 2:02:56What a brilliant day for going up to Count Von Zeppelin and saying,

2:02:56 > 2:02:59"You'll never sell a sausage that size!"

2:02:59 > 2:03:01And the love of a catchphrase or three.

2:03:01 > 2:03:03How tickled I am!

2:03:03 > 2:03:05How tickled I am by all this goodwill.

2:03:05 > 2:03:09What about you, Missus? Have you been tickled by goodwill?

2:03:09 > 2:03:11# Knick-knocky, knick-knock, knick-knocky knick-knack!

2:03:11 > 2:03:13# Knick-knocky, knick-knock, knicky-knacky-noo!

2:03:13 > 2:03:18Proud of his Merseyside roots, the coal merchant's son from

2:03:22 > 2:03:23Doddy!

2:03:23 > 2:03:24Hi-ya, Doddy!

2:03:24 > 2:03:29Although silly on stage, Dodd was serious about his craft.

2:03:29 > 2:03:34Freud said that a laugh is a sudden explosion of psychic energy.

2:03:34 > 2:03:37Of course, the trouble with Freud was he never played second house

2:03:40 > 2:03:43He still lived in the home he grew up in, and guarded his

2:03:43 > 2:03:46private life carefully.

2:03:46 > 2:03:49In 1989, that was shattered when he faced charges

2:03:49 > 2:03:52of massive tax evasion.

2:03:52 > 2:03:55He had 20 offshore bank accounts, and more than £300,000 hidden

2:03:55 > 2:03:58around his house.

2:03:58 > 2:04:01He was acquitted and continued performing.

2:04:01 > 2:04:04Last year, he was given a knighthood in recognition of his charity

2:04:04 > 2:04:07and comedy work.

2:04:07 > 2:04:10We shall have one or two glasses of tickle tonic,

2:04:10 > 2:04:13and then we shall go back to Knotty Ash up north,

2:04:13 > 2:04:16Knotty Ash on Merseyside, and I shall see the Diddy Men there,

2:04:16 > 2:04:19so I'll give your regards to them.

2:04:19 > 2:04:24Aged 90, Dodd was recently hospitalised with a chest infection,

2:04:24 > 2:04:26but he still wanted to go back on stage.

2:04:26 > 2:04:30I look forward to getting back to doing my job -

2:04:30 > 2:04:35the only job that I have ever had, the only job that I know.

2:04:35 > 2:04:37# Happiness, happiness.

2:04:37 > 2:04:39After more than 60 years of making others laugh,

2:04:39 > 2:04:42it was performing to the British public that Dodd said

2:04:42 > 2:04:47gave him enormous happiness.

2:04:47 > 2:04:53# Happiness!

2:04:53 > 2:04:57Some of Ken Dodd's fans and former colleagues have been paying tribute.

2:04:57 > 2:05:00Comedian Dara O Briain commented on how he had inspired him.

2:05:20 > 2:05:21Poet Ian McMillan said:

2:05:21 > 2:05:23"RIP Ken Dodd - Shakespearean fool,

2:05:23 > 2:05:24Music Hall turn, timeless clown.

2:05:24 > 2:05:27The stage was his planet, and as he explored it, the only

2:05:27 > 2:05:30atmosphere he needed was laughing gas."

2:05:30 > 2:05:31And columist Grace Dent made reference to one

2:05:31 > 2:05:34of his well know jokes, saying: "What a beautiful day.

2:05:34 > 2:05:35What a beautiful day for sticking a cucumber

2:05:35 > 2:05:38through a letterbox and shouting 'Help, the Martians have landed'.

2:05:38 > 2:05:45#KenDodd."

2:05:45 > 2:05:47The National Security Council is to look at the latest evidence

2:05:47 > 2:05:51of the suspected poisoning of a former Russian double

2:05:51 > 2:05:53agent and his daughter.

2:05:53 > 2:05:56An assessment will be made on who might have carried out

2:05:56 > 2:05:57the nerve agent attack.

2:05:57 > 2:06:01Sergei and Yulia Skripal remain critically ill in hospital.

2:06:01 > 2:06:09Leila Nathoo's in Salisbury for us this morning.

2:06:09 > 2:06:15A week on, this continues to be a developing story?It does. There is

2:06:15 > 2:06:19clearly some progress being made in the investigation. Police now know

2:06:19 > 2:06:25the nerve agent that was used to attack Sergei and Yulia Skripal.

2:06:25 > 2:06:30Police now know that traces of that nerve agent were found at two

2:06:30 > 2:06:35locations, the Zizzi restaurant and a pub the to visit it on the Sunday

2:06:35 > 2:06:40afternoon before the end of the up collapsed on the bench behind me.

2:06:40 > 2:06:44Police trying to piece together exactly when and how the two were

2:06:44 > 2:06:50exposed to the substance. They are searching Sergei Skripal's house and

2:06:50 > 2:06:58car. The military are assisting. We saw some activity at the Mill Pub

2:06:58 > 2:07:03last night, which we believe was a decontamination exercise. The table

2:07:03 > 2:07:10where the Skripals aid their lunch was so contaminated it has been

2:07:10 > 2:07:16destroyed. People who were eating at the Zizzi restaurant and the Mill

2:07:16 > 2:07:20Pub any time on Sunday are being told to wash their clothes as a

2:07:20 > 2:07:24precaution. There is anger and confusion as to why it has taken so

2:07:24 > 2:07:29long for them to be warned to do this. Officials say there is no risk

2:07:29 > 2:07:34and no need to be alarmed. This is only a precaution. Today, Theresa

2:07:34 > 2:07:41May will chair a meeting of national Security Adviser 's. The Home

2:07:41 > 2:07:47Secretary, Amber Rudd, has warned not to jump to conclusions about who

2:07:47 > 2:07:50was behind the attack, but Russian involvement is being taken seriously

2:07:50 > 2:07:52at the highest level of government. Thank you.

2:07:52 > 2:07:56A bitter row has broken out at the top of the Labour Party,

2:07:56 > 2:07:58after a shadow cabinet minister claiming she's been removed

2:07:58 > 2:07:59from her post against her will.

2:07:59 > 2:08:03Debbie Abrahams was the spokeswoman on Work and Pensions.

2:08:03 > 2:08:08We can speak now to our political correspondent, Ben Wright.

2:08:08 > 2:08:15Good morning. What do you know?This erupted late last night. We have got

2:08:15 > 2:08:20extraordinary finger-pointing now between Debbie Abrahams and Jeremy

2:08:20 > 2:08:25Corbyn's office. It seems that on Friday, Debbie Abrahams met people

2:08:25 > 2:08:30from Jeremy Corbyn's office to discuss unemployment issue. We

2:08:30 > 2:08:35understand that relates to an accusation of bullying. Debbie

2:08:35 > 2:08:40Abrahams herself vehemently denies it. Late yesterday evening, the

2:08:40 > 2:08:42Labour Party issued a statement saying that Debbie Abrahams had

2:08:42 > 2:08:46stood aside while this issue is investigated. But almost immediately

2:08:46 > 2:08:51she hit back with her own statement, saying that she had not agreed to

2:08:51 > 2:08:56stand aside and that the behaviour of certain individuals in Jeremy

2:08:56 > 2:08:59Corbyn's office was completely unacceptable, intimidating,
