0:00:09 > 0:00:12Police investigating the murder of a businessman in London begin
0:00:12 > 0:00:14contacting other Russian exiles to discuss their personal
0:00:14 > 0:00:19safety in Britain.
0:00:19 > 0:00:22Forensic teams have been working through the night to find out
0:00:22 > 0:00:30what happened to Nikolai Glushkov, who was found dead on Monday.
0:00:38 > 0:00:41Good morning, it's Saturday 17 March.
0:00:41 > 0:00:45Also this morning: Police launch a murder investigation after two
0:00:45 > 0:00:49women are shot dead at a house in East Sussex.
0:00:49 > 0:00:52100 flights are cancelled and drivers are told to expect
0:00:52 > 0:01:00disruption, as the "mini beast from the east" sweeps in.
0:01:00 > 0:01:04It will be a shock to the system to many of us today, as the Siberian
0:01:04 > 0:01:09air returns, ringing a sheet of ice and snow, there are numerous
0:01:09 > 0:01:14warnings out including amber warnings, from the Met Office, and I
0:01:14 > 0:01:16will tell you more in about 15 minutes.

0:01:19 > 0:01:22Ireland know they're Six Nations champions already but victory over
0:01:22 > 0:01:29England would give them the Grand Slam.
0:01:29 > 0:01:32First, police investigating the murder of a Russian man
0:01:32 > 0:01:35in London say they have begun contacting other
0:01:35 > 0:01:36Russian exiles in Britain to discuss their safety.
0:01:36 > 0:01:41Forensics teams have continued working at the home of 68-year
0:01:41 > 0:01:44Forensics teams have continued working at the home of 68-year-old
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Nikolai Glushkov, who was found dead on Monday.
0:01:46 > 0:01:49But police say at this stage, it is not being connected
0:01:49 > 0:01:51to the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal
0:01:51 > 0:01:53and his daughter in Salisbury.
0:01:53 > 0:01:54John McManus reports.
0:01:54 > 0:01:5968-year-old Nikolai Glushkov, found dead at his home on this unassuming
0:01:59 > 0:02:06road in Southwest London on Monday. But Mr Glushkov's life was anything
0:02:06 > 0:02:11but ordinary. The postmortem has revealed he was murdered, killed by
0:02:11 > 0:02:16compression to the next. Unusually counterterrorism police are leading
0:02:16 > 0:02:23the -- investigation because of Mr Glushkov's past weeks. In the 90s he
0:02:23 > 0:02:29was the director of Russian airline Aeroflot, but sought political
0:02:29 > 0:02:37asylum in the UK and was still being sued by Russia. He was friends with
0:02:37 > 0:02:42Russian businessmen Boris Berezovsky who was found dead in 2013. An open
0:02:42 > 0:02:50verdict was recorded but Mr Glushkov believed he had been murdered. Some
0:02:50 > 0:02:57observers believe it is time to join the dots.Mr Glushkov's death fits
0:02:57 > 0:03:00into a wider pattern of the last 12 years of Russian opponents dropping
0:03:00 > 0:03:06dead across Europe. The consequences for the Kremlin of this were limited
0:03:06 > 0:03:10to far too long, the UK response as recently been much stronger, but
0:03:10 > 0:03:16there are still awful lot we could do.The former PR executive, Lord
0:03:16 > 0:03:20Bell, a friend of Mr Glushkov has told the BBC he suspects he was
0:03:20 > 0:03:23killed after being deemed a traitor by the Russian state. Police say
0:03:23 > 0:03:28that at present there is no link between the murder in London and the
0:03:28 > 0:03:31poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his daughter in Salisbury. But some
0:03:31 > 0:03:35Russian exiles are being contacted about their safety.
0:03:35 > 0:03:38Our reporter John McManus is outside the Russian embassy this morning.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42John, what's the latest?
0:03:42 > 0:03:45Tell us more about the discussions that police are having with Russian
0:03:45 > 0:03:50exiles?They have gone to want some Russian X-Files to talk to them
0:03:50 > 0:03:55about their safety, they say there is not a definite danger to them but
0:03:55 > 0:03:59they want to make them aware that there may be things going on. That
0:03:59 > 0:04:02the dramatic row regarding what happened to Sergei Skripal and his
0:04:02 > 0:04:08daughter in Salsbury is still continuing as well. They were
0:04:08 > 0:04:12poisoned using a nerve agent on the fourth of March, they are both still
0:04:12 > 0:04:15critically ill and the Prime Minister Theresa May is pointing the
0:04:15 > 0:04:19finger very firmly at Russia. She says that 23 Russian diplomats in
0:04:19 > 0:04:23the embassy based in the building behind me will have to leave Britain
0:04:23 > 0:04:27as part of Britain's retaliation. The war of words since begetting
0:04:27 > 0:04:30worse, you say the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said it was
0:04:30 > 0:04:35overwhelmingly likely that the Russian President Vladimir Putin
0:04:35 > 0:04:39personally ordered that attack in Salsbury. The Russians say that is a
0:04:39 > 0:04:43disgusting accusation and they are angry with Boris Johnson to making
0:04:43 > 0:04:47it. They will also probably expels some British diplomats at some point
0:04:47 > 0:04:51from Russia. That could happen at any point, and they said they are
0:04:51 > 0:04:55also going to have their own investigation into what happened to
0:04:55 > 0:04:58Sergei Skripal. These investigations at the moment between Britain and
0:04:58 > 0:05:02Russia are at a very low point, and it could carry on like this the
0:05:02 > 0:05:06sometime to come.Thank you very much.
0:05:06 > 0:05:08Police have launched a murder investigation after two women
0:05:08 > 0:05:11were shot and killed at a house in East Sussex.
0:05:11 > 0:05:14Officers were called to an address in St Leonards-on-Sea last night.
0:05:14 > 0:05:15A man has been arrested.
0:05:15 > 0:05:21Marta Newman's report contains some flashing images.
0:05:21 > 0:05:26Officers responded immediately when they got a report of a shooting at a
0:05:26 > 0:05:32house at around 8pm last night. The road in this seaside town was closed
0:05:32 > 0:05:36and local residents were asked to stay away from the area and remain
0:05:36 > 0:05:44indoors. Police say two women aged 32 and 53 were killed. Two other
0:05:44 > 0:05:48women including one who is pregnant were led to safety by officers and
0:05:48 > 0:05:54taken to hospital. Both were uninjured but suffering from shock.
0:05:54 > 0:05:58A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. He remains
0:05:58 > 0:06:03in custody for questioning. Police have said that it is were known to
0:06:03 > 0:06:07the suspect and that they are not looking for anyone else in
0:06:07 > 0:06:13connection with the shooting.
0:06:13 > 0:06:15The former deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe,
0:06:15 > 0:06:19has been fired just hours before he was due to formally retire.
0:06:19 > 0:06:22Mr McCabe had faced repeated criticism from President Trump.
0:06:22 > 0:06:25In a statement he said his sacking had been politically motivated
0:06:25 > 0:06:28and claimed it was part of a wider effort to taint the FBI
0:06:28 > 0:06:30and intelligence professionals.
0:06:30 > 0:06:33The number of hospital admissions due to older people falling
0:06:33 > 0:06:37is expected to rise to nearly 1,000 a day by the end of the decade.
0:06:37 > 0:06:40That's according to figures obtained by the Local Government Association.
0:06:40 > 0:06:46It's prompted calls for more funding for adult social care.
0:06:46 > 0:06:51After a fall if someone does not recover fully they are housebound,
0:06:51 > 0:06:56they may need to be provided with home help, meals on wheels, and it
0:06:56 > 0:06:59can also have wider impacts on health, and it is often a case that
0:06:59 > 0:07:04when a person has a serious fall it is one of the things that's liberate
0:07:04 > 0:07:08-- precipitate the slickly slope of them becoming housebound. --
0:07:08 > 0:07:11slippery slope.
0:07:11 > 0:07:14More than 100 flights to and from Heathrow have been

0:07:17 > 0:07:21The Met Office has issued an amber warning for snow and ice in much
0:07:21 > 0:07:24of England and parts of Scotland ahead of another cold snap.

0:07:40 > 0:07:43dozens of people were killed in air strikes on Friday.
0:07:43 > 0:07:46At least eight people have been injured after a faulty ski lift

0:08:19 > 0:08:22The source of the bacteria is not yet known.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26It said tests were ongoing to try confirm if the children's infections

0:09:24 > 0:09:32celebrating.What we're going to say? I was going to say time.I was
0:09:32 > 0:09:36going to say, let's look at the papers. The front page of the papers
0:09:36 > 0:09:42this morning, the Times, the picture there is from the Gold cup,
0:09:42 > 0:09:50celebrating there, the jockey celebrating there. The main story is
0:09:50 > 0:09:56Oxfam engulfed by a second sex scandal in earthquake torn Haiti.
0:09:56 > 0:10:04The Daily Mirror has taken a look at the Salsbury scandal, -- at the
0:10:04 > 0:10:11child-abuse scandal in Telford, saying there are 12 more victims. On
0:10:11 > 0:10:15the front page of the Daily Telegraph, a huge picture of Theresa

0:10:25 > 0:10:31estate, the cameras capturing the moment when she was cuddling a small
0:10:31 > 0:10:35baby, the baby 's name is Teddy Young. The main story is the murder
0:10:35 > 0:10:40probe after one of light emitted in's Dicks was found strangled at
0:10:40 > 0:10:44his home. And police advice this morning to a number of Russian ex-
0:10:44 > 0:10:52aisles living in the UK -- exile. That story also leading the front
0:10:52 > 0:11:00page of the Guardian, Russian exile was murdered, police say. The
0:11:00 > 0:11:12picture today is of Olivia De Havinand, who has brought a case
0:11:12 > 0:11:17against the TV company about her identity. We are waiting slightly to
0:11:17 > 0:11:21see how the weather is going to be across the weekend, a lot of
0:11:21 > 0:11:24warnings in place as we speak. Helen will bring
0:11:24 > 0:11:24warnings in place as we speak. Helen will bring is up-to-date.Good
0:11:24 > 0:11:29morning to you both. Lots of changes this weekend, a shock to the system,
0:11:29 > 0:11:33this was yesterday's temperatures across the country, some 10 degrees
0:11:33 > 0:11:38more down across southern and eastern areas. No surprise when I
0:11:38 > 0:11:43tell you that we have warnings out, Campbell warnings from the Met
0:11:43 > 0:11:48Office, -- amber warnings. We have ice issues is morning before those
0:11:48 > 0:11:52warnings come into force later this afternoon. The Siberian air returns,
0:11:52 > 0:11:56blasting across the country from the east and it is because it is a
0:11:56 > 0:12:00strong- gale force winds that it will feel even colder than it has
0:12:00 > 0:12:04done this week, is because of that windchill. We have some winter in
0:12:04 > 0:12:08this in our weather system -- wintry nest in the weather system, pushing
0:12:08 > 0:12:14southwards, rein in it but it will turn into sleet and snow. It is the
0:12:14 > 0:12:17showers following that we are concerned about as we go through the
0:12:17 > 0:12:22day, hence the amber warning. There will be some brightness in the north
0:12:22 > 0:12:25of Scotland but very little sunshine, it will be cloudy and will
0:12:25 > 0:12:29feel cold without the strength of March sunshine. Temperatures are a
0:12:29 > 0:12:33lot lower than they have been this week, perhaps 6-8 in the south-west
0:12:33 > 0:12:39because we are getting on to the mother -- rather mild start. -6 and
0:12:39 > 0:12:43-7, the windchill, a real shock after what we have had full top the
0:12:43 > 0:12:49amber warning, we are concerned about the killer areas, from the Met
0:12:49 > 0:12:57Office the north-east of England. Through the top of England and
0:12:57 > 0:13:02through the Thames Valley, and overnight we're concerned about a
0:13:02 > 0:13:04widespread area of slow coming across southern England in the south
0:13:04 > 0:13:08of Wales. Really quite a lot to keep your eye naturally, if you have
0:13:08 > 0:13:13players that today, don't make this loss forecast C. It is this easterly
0:13:13 > 0:13:16wind that is bringing the snow but we could have something more
0:13:16 > 0:13:19significant drifting up from the south across the southern half of
0:13:19 > 0:13:23the country, and there is a lot of uncertainty as to exactly where and
0:13:23 > 0:13:26how much we will see Premat. Through the evening and overnight we keep
0:13:26 > 0:13:31this easterly wind going, some areas could see snow showers, because the
0:13:31 > 0:13:37error is so cold it will settle and then it comes together to form a
0:13:37 > 0:13:39widespread area so we could see some fairly significant snow in southern
0:13:39 > 0:13:44areas. That could cause some disruption is. It is blowing the
0:13:44 > 0:13:50snow around, and clearly with the sort of temperatures is going to be
0:13:50 > 0:13:54icy as well, the fact that we have snow in the forecast. We are
0:13:54 > 0:14:00bringing back winter if you like. As we go through Sunday that initial
0:14:00 > 0:14:04snow clears out of the way but it will take some time, fewer showers
0:14:04 > 0:14:07and ugly for Scotland and Northern Ireland as we see the high-pressure
0:14:07 > 0:14:11sinking in, nevertheless it is not going to be very warm, it will be
0:14:11 > 0:14:15significantly cold day in the south with that windchill. The main
0:14:15 > 0:14:19message from this forecast is that it is much colder this weekend,
0:14:19 > 0:14:24today we have some major rugby matches on the way and in the
0:14:24 > 0:14:27mornings -- warnings which kick in from the mid-afternoon, amber
0:14:27 > 0:14:33warnings for snow. Do stagings to local radio and our weather website
0:14:33 > 0:14:39will have more updates.How much colder is that we are expecting for
0:14:39 > 0:14:45this time of year, we are well into spring now?The strength of the sun,
0:14:45 > 0:14:49if you're out there in the sunshine you start to feel its effects. So
0:14:49 > 0:14:53without that today it will feel even colder. The average around this time
0:14:53 > 0:14:57of year would be double figures across most of the country. What we
0:14:57 > 0:15:01have seen this week is probably more akin to what we should see, this is
0:15:01 > 0:15:05a dramatic drop. But that is not unusual in March to see snow, we see
0:15:05 > 0:15:10snow as late as June here in the UK. That is not predict that.I'm not
0:15:10 > 0:15:15saying that. It is not that unusual to see topsy-turvy weather at this
0:15:15 > 0:15:21time of year, because some are isn't -- because you get the cold air in
0:15:21 > 0:15:24from the Arctic, and we are likely to see some snow.
0:15:28 > 0:15:31Britain's department stores used to be the height
0:15:31 > 0:15:32of luxury and service.
0:15:32 > 0:15:34If you needed anything from clothing to electricals or food,
0:15:34 > 0:15:36they were the place to go.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39But today, they face fierce competition in all categories,
0:15:39 > 0:15:41as online retailers offer everything a customer wants at the click
0:15:41 > 0:15:43of a button.
0:15:43 > 0:15:46Radio 4's consumer reporter Samantha Fenwick has been finding
0:15:46 > 0:15:52out how department stores are fighting back.
0:15:52 > 0:15:59George Davies has been called a cereal brand creator, a fashion
0:15:59 > 0:16:06visionary, the king of the high street.
0:16:06 > 0:16:11street. They are very Abba, these, aren't they?Yes, very Abba. I was
0:16:11 > 0:16:18too young to remember Abba.He was the man behind Capi, and M&S.When
0:16:18 > 0:16:26we started, there were 400 stores. By the time ago to the 1990s, when I
0:16:26 > 0:16:34starting George and ASDA, I already knew parking was a real problem.So
0:16:34 > 0:16:39you could see that there was at that point decline in the high street.
0:16:39 > 0:16:45Yes, sure. It was obvious.George left M&S in 2008, vowing never to
0:16:45 > 0:16:49return to the high street. He said it was no longer a place to make
0:16:49 > 0:16:53money. Ten years on and he has changed his mind. His new line of
0:16:53 > 0:16:57women's and children's clothing will be in the shops next week. So why
0:16:57 > 0:17:02the change of heart?Rents are high, business rates are high, but dealers
0:17:02 > 0:17:06own a lot of their properties. Probably 70% they own it, so that
0:17:06 > 0:17:10takes quite a high risk out of it. But not all department stores are
0:17:10 > 0:17:14that lucky. This is London's Oxford Street. It is where all the big
0:17:14 > 0:17:19names have their flagship stores. But the buildings are big, with too
0:17:19 > 0:17:23much unprofitable space. House of Fraser have asked their landlords to
0:17:23 > 0:17:29reduce their rent, and the likes of Debenhams and Marks & Spencer 's are
0:17:29 > 0:17:32closing stores completely.Costs are going up for retailers, and shoppers
0:17:32 > 0:17:36want to go online because it offers convenience. They can get the lowest
0:17:36 > 0:17:39prices, and they get the lowest prices because those operators don't
0:17:39 > 0:17:44have the same kind of costs as a physical store.The government is
0:17:44 > 0:17:48concerned about the state of the UK's High Street. It has just set up
0:17:48 > 0:17:53a special panel to investigate how best to adapt to that changes in the
0:17:53 > 0:17:57wake we shop. It is being led by Richard Penny Cook, the chairman of
0:17:57 > 0:18:02department store Fenech.Department stores are about theatre and
0:18:02 > 0:18:07service, and those are things that can't be replicated online. So I
0:18:07 > 0:18:11think there is a really good future for department stores, but it is all
0:18:11 > 0:18:13about making sure that we are providing something different, which
0:18:13 > 0:18:20makes the visit worthwhile -- Fenwick.It will have to be
0:18:20 > 0:18:24something very different to get us off the internet and into the high
0:18:24 > 0:18:24street.
0:18:24 > 0:18:26We will be back with the headlines at 6:30am.
0:18:26 > 0:18:29Now it is time for the Film Review, with Jane Hill and Jason Solomons.
0:18:45 > 0:18:48Hello, and welcome to The Film Review on BBC News.
0:18:48 > 0:18:51To take us through this week's cinema releases is Jason Solomons.
0:18:51 > 0:18:52Good to see you, Jason.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56What have you been watching?
0:18:56 > 0:18:58This week, we'll go to raiding and cliffhanging
0:18:58 > 0:19:00with the new Lara Croft in Tomb Raider.
0:19:00 > 0:19:04Look at the meaning of art and find our inner ape in Swedish
0:19:04 > 0:19:09satire The Square.
0:19:09 > 0:19:13And we dip into biblical times for the real story of Mary Magdalen,
0:19:13 > 0:19:20as played by Rooney Mara, opposite Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus.
0:19:20 > 0:19:22What a mixture!
0:19:22 > 0:19:23Tomb Raider is back.
0:19:23 > 0:19:25Did they need to remake this?
0:19:25 > 0:19:27Well, it wasn't very good the first time!
0:19:27 > 0:19:31Often they do remakes of things that are really good and you think,
0:19:31 > 0:19:32'why have they ruined it'?
0:19:32 > 0:19:35But they may be trying to get this right,
0:19:35 > 0:19:37because Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft has dated terribly -
0:19:37 > 0:19:40the effects are bad and it was never quite right.
0:19:40 > 0:19:44Tomb Raider was sort of a teenage fever dream for many boys who used
0:19:44 > 0:19:47to play that as a game when it was early computer games,
0:19:47 > 0:19:50and they've now changed the whole figure of Lara Croft for this
0:19:50 > 0:19:53new actress, who I happen to think is fantastic.
0:19:53 > 0:19:55She's beautiful, gorgeous, and she has got this strength
0:19:55 > 0:19:58to her and balletic, which she needs, because she has
0:19:58 > 0:20:06done a lot of running in this movie.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09She is slumming it in Shoreditch when we start this, but then we find
0:20:09 > 0:20:12out she is the daughter of a billionaire, who is played
0:20:12 > 0:20:13in a flashback.
0:20:13 > 0:20:16She has to go and sign the papers which means
0:20:16 > 0:20:24that she will inherit his fortune.
0:20:27 > 0:20:28That was Dad's?
0:20:28 > 0:20:30Yes, Miss Croft.
0:20:30 > 0:20:36According to his will, I was supposed to give it to you.
0:20:36 > 0:20:41And, technically speaking, you are meant to sign
0:20:41 > 0:20:47the papers first.
0:20:47 > 0:20:49I could never understand your father's obsession
0:20:49 > 0:20:53with those things.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56I can't believe how many of those were lying around the house.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58There's got to be some purpose to it.
0:20:58 > 0:21:06The first letter from my final destination.
0:21:26 > 0:21:31But he didn't leave a letter.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34Well, they've got all the great British actors in there as well.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36They've lined them all up!
0:21:36 > 0:21:39They are only in it for a bit, I have to say -
0:21:39 > 0:21:41for the money, I think!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44She goes off on her quest - this is a quest movie.
0:21:44 > 0:21:47She goes hunting with clues that her father has left her.
0:21:47 > 0:21:50These riddles, which you might start off solving them yourself
0:21:50 > 0:21:53in your head - but don't bother, because they don't make
0:21:53 > 0:21:53any sense, really!
0:21:53 > 0:21:56It's just another level of the game that she goes to.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59She goes to Hong Kong, and then she is pursued,
0:21:59 > 0:22:03which is all very good, then she has to go to a remote
0:22:03 > 0:22:05Japanese island on a ship, and survive a storm,
0:22:05 > 0:22:07going down a waterfall and solving another puzzle.
0:22:07 > 0:22:15She does a lot of jumping and then she does a lot of dangling.
0:22:22 > 0:22:22LAUGHTER.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24You know, it's a bit krypton factor!
0:22:24 > 0:22:26Considering the indignities heaped upon her and ridiculous scenarios
0:22:26 > 0:22:30thrown at her, I was mesmerised by how brilliant she is at this.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32She brings a balletic strength to it.
0:22:32 > 0:22:34She's got great abs, fantastic skills with a bow
0:22:34 > 0:22:38and arrow, and she's far, far better than the film she is in.
0:22:38 > 0:22:40I wondered whether you were getting to that.
0:22:40 > 0:22:43She is great, but is it worth seeing apart from her?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47It's very kinetic, the best I can say for it is it keeps hurling stuff
0:22:47 > 0:22:48at poor Alicia Vikander.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51But the climatic tomb raid is almost laughable -
0:22:51 > 0:22:54it looks like something that you get on the back of the cereal packet!
0:22:54 > 0:22:57It's like, is that what this has all been about?!
0:22:57 > 0:23:00Maybe there will be more Tomb Raiders and maybe
0:23:00 > 0:23:01they will get them better!
0:23:01 > 0:23:09They will keep trying.
0:23:11 > 0:23:15I'm loving the sound of the next one, it sounds intriguing.
0:23:15 > 0:23:19It won the Palm d'Or at Cannes, and has taken a year to get here,
0:23:19 > 0:23:21but it was nominated as Best Foreign-Language Film
0:23:21 > 0:23:27at the Baftas.
0:23:27 > 0:23:29Much of it was not in Swedish.
0:23:29 > 0:23:31Elisabeth Moss is in this.
0:23:31 > 0:23:34It features one of the great scenes of the year,
0:23:34 > 0:23:35which we are seeing here.
0:23:35 > 0:23:38An American actor comes in as an artist.
0:23:38 > 0:23:46It is an art world satire.
0:23:47 > 0:23:49This is an art gallery benefit dinner.
0:23:49 > 0:23:53He comes in to do a performance piece, but takes it far too far.
0:23:53 > 0:23:55Here he is kind of goading Dominic West.
0:23:55 > 0:23:59It's about finding art in that era.
0:23:59 > 0:24:01It's a satire on the art world.
0:24:01 > 0:24:04Art that can be dated, what's the point of art,
0:24:04 > 0:24:05is it ridiculous?
0:24:05 > 0:24:06This is about modern art.
0:24:06 > 0:24:09It's about the curator of this gallery that we're seeing here.
0:24:09 > 0:24:12He loses his mobile phone, and his life completely falls
0:24:12 > 0:24:13apart and unravels.
0:24:13 > 0:24:20It really is a sort of film predicated on that.
0:24:20 > 0:24:28Is that in the category of 'first-world problems?'!
0:24:29 > 0:24:33It is very much about white male privilege and what it is to be a man
0:24:33 > 0:24:35in the privileged world.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Like, here they are in their black ties, and he is an artist.
0:24:38 > 0:24:41This scene goes on for 11 minutes, and you can't stop watching.
0:24:41 > 0:24:44It's extraordinary, but you don't go how to react to it.
0:24:44 > 0:24:47It's all about, what would you do in that situation?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49It keeps throwing moral quandaries at you.
0:24:49 > 0:24:50It's very funny, but also very thought-provoking,
0:24:50 > 0:24:53perhaps a bit too thought-provoking, like the monkey poking Dominic West
0:24:53 > 0:24:56in the ear.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58You have been to see Mary Magdalen as well.
0:24:58 > 0:25:00It's Easter coming up, time for a Passion story.
0:25:00 > 0:25:03This is reported to tell for the first time the story
0:25:03 > 0:25:07of Mary Magdalen, who has been cast as a prostitute since Pope Gregory
0:25:07 > 0:25:09in 591 declared that she was a prostitute,
0:25:09 > 0:25:11which is apparently wrong - she wasn't.
0:25:11 > 0:25:14This film aims to correct that and show the Jesus story
0:25:14 > 0:25:17through the eyes of the only female disciple, Mary Magdalen,
0:25:17 > 0:25:19played by Rooney Mara, who leaves her fishing village
0:25:19 > 0:25:27and follows the son of God.
0:25:49 > 0:25:56Mary.
0:25:56 > 0:25:59Each of you stand at the threshold.
0:25:59 > 0:26:02Do you fear that you will never reach the kingdom?
0:26:02 > 0:26:05Whose kingdom?
0:26:05 > 0:26:08You know as well as I do, there's only one true kingdom.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12And that is God.
0:26:12 > 0:26:18And God's kingdom has taken root.
0:26:18 > 0:26:21So we must prepare.
0:26:21 > 0:26:27We must wash away the stains of your corruption.
0:26:27 > 0:26:29And be born anew.
0:26:29 > 0:26:34Like children.
0:26:34 > 0:26:40I have been hidden for too long.
0:26:40 > 0:26:43I'm not sure what to say about that!
0:26:43 > 0:26:47You can see why her father would be upset if she went to follow him,
0:26:47 > 0:26:49this kind of hairy bloke who's really boring!
0:26:49 > 0:26:52Whatever you think about the Bible, there's no denying it's got some
0:26:52 > 0:26:53great lines in it.
0:26:53 > 0:26:57Why this film hasn't got any of them is a mystery to me.
0:26:57 > 0:26:58It is extraordinarily dull.
0:26:58 > 0:27:00Is it a long couple of hours?
0:27:00 > 0:27:03Absolutely so dull you would not believe it!
0:27:03 > 0:27:06It even looks dull, it has got this tablecloth fashion with the stones
0:27:06 > 0:27:07everywhere in the desert.
0:27:07 > 0:27:11At one stage it was the greatest story ever told, when it was in
0:27:11 > 0:27:14Hollywood, now it's just the most boring story ever told.
0:27:14 > 0:27:17It's extraordinary what it does, trying to rectify it and make it
0:27:17 > 0:27:21a story for a new age, kind of a story for everyone -
0:27:21 > 0:27:23it won't offend Catholics, Christians, Jews, Muslims
0:27:23 > 0:27:30or even atheists.
0:27:40 > 0:27:43Is it trying to be too careful, is that part of the problem?
0:27:43 > 0:27:45It is trying to tiptoe over any heresy.
0:27:45 > 0:27:47People boycotted Martin Scorcese's film.
0:27:47 > 0:27:50Any film that makes you cry for Mel Gibson has got it wrong!
0:27:50 > 0:27:53It also makes you think of Monty Python all the time!
0:27:53 > 0:27:55There are scenes when people are going, 'Messiah,
0:27:55 > 0:27:56Messiah'!
0:27:56 > 0:27:58You know what, he's not the Messiah!
0:27:58 > 0:28:01I do wish you'd say what you really think,
0:28:01 > 0:28:02Jason!
0:28:02 > 0:28:05So that's a long two hours, and we'll leave it at that!
0:28:05 > 0:28:10I don't think this will make a lot of money at the box office, either.
0:28:10 > 0:28:12I think faith-based audiences will go and be completely mystified
0:28:12 > 0:28:14as to what this was about.
0:28:14 > 0:28:17It is a Passion of the Christ without any passion.
0:28:17 > 0:28:20What should we be going to see?
0:28:20 > 0:28:22You've got to see Black Panther.
0:28:22 > 0:28:25And you've got to see it now at the cinema.
0:28:25 > 0:28:28It is becoming a cultural event - people are seeing it four or five
0:28:28 > 0:28:31times, it has broken records at the box office,
0:28:31 > 0:28:33it is changing the way that audiences are going,
0:28:33 > 0:28:36black audiences are flocking to it, families are enjoying
0:28:36 > 0:28:36the representation.
0:28:36 > 0:28:39It is a great superhero movie, it's sexy, it's
0:28:39 > 0:28:40exciting, it's funny.
0:28:40 > 0:28:42People are hollering at it in the cinema.
0:28:42 > 0:28:45If you haven't been to a Marvel movie in the cinema,
0:28:45 > 0:28:53this is the one to go and see.
0:28:58 > 0:29:01And DVD of the week is also so lovely.
0:29:01 > 0:29:03I will admit, I cried at Paddington 2!
0:29:03 > 0:29:05But it's a delight, it's an absolute sweet,
0:29:05 > 0:29:07delightful, charming, sometimes silly, but just
0:29:07 > 0:29:08lovely, lovely, lovely.
0:29:08 > 0:29:08Beautifully done...
0:29:08 > 0:29:10He is in his little outfits, wondering around.
0:29:10 > 0:29:13Paddington didn't win Best British Film at the Baftas,
0:29:13 > 0:29:14that went to Three billboards.
0:29:14 > 0:29:17This is one of the best British films we've ever made.
0:29:17 > 0:29:19And how good is Hugh Grant?!
0:29:19 > 0:29:20He's fantastic! He is.
0:29:20 > 0:29:23And Sally Hawkins is great in it, the whole Brown family,
0:29:23 > 0:29:25the whole look of it is perfect.
0:29:25 > 0:29:27It's a work of genius, Paddington two.
0:29:27 > 0:29:35And when did you cry?!
0:29:42 > 0:29:43I cried at the end!
0:29:43 > 0:29:47I'm not going to give anything away for anyone who hasn't been
0:29:47 > 0:29:51to see it.
0:29:51 > 0:29:54If you want a marmalade sandwich, you can't have one!
0:29:54 > 0:29:55It's very sweet, wonderful.
0:29:55 > 0:29:57A mixed week, but an interesting one.
0:29:57 > 0:29:59Jason, good to see you, thank you.
0:29:59 > 0:30:00That's it for this week.
0:30:00 > 0:30:02Enjoy your cinema-going and your DVD watching.
0:30:02 > 0:30:03It's terrific, honestly!
0:30:03 > 0:30:04Thanks for being with us.
0:30:04 > 0:30:08Goodbye.
0:30:24 > 0:30:26Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty
0:30:26 > 0:30:27and Charlie Stayt.
0:30:27 > 0:30:29Good Morning, here's a summary
0:30:29 > 0:30:30of today's main stories from BBC News.
0:30:30 > 0:30:33Police investigating the murder of a Russian man in London say
0:30:33 > 0:30:35they have begun contacting other
0:30:35 > 0:30:37Russian exiles in Britain to discuss their safety.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40Forensics teams have continued working at the home of 68-year-old
0:30:40 > 0:30:42Nikolai Glushkov, who was found dead on Monday.
0:30:42 > 0:30:45But police say at this stage, it is not being connected
0:30:45 > 0:30:48to the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal
0:30:48 > 0:30:51and his daughter in Salisbury.
0:30:51 > 0:30:54John McManus reports.
0:30:54 > 0:31:0168-year-old Nikolai Glushkov, found dead at his home on this
0:31:01 > 0:31:03unassuming road in south-west London on Monday.
0:31:03 > 0:31:06But Mr Glushkov's life was anything but ordinary.
0:31:06 > 0:31:10The post mortem has revealed he was murdered, killed
0:31:10 > 0:31:11by compression to the neck.
0:31:11 > 0:31:18Unusually counterterrorism police are leading
0:31:18 > 0:31:20the investigation because of Mr Glushkov's past links.
0:31:20 > 0:31:24In the 1990s he was the director of Russian airline
0:31:24 > 0:31:28Aeroflot,
0:31:28 > 0:31:31But was jailed after being found guilty of fraud and
0:31:31 > 0:31:35money-laundering.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38He sought political asylum in the UK and was still being sued by Russia.
0:31:38 > 0:31:40He was friends with Russian businessmen Boris Berezovsky
0:31:40 > 0:31:42who was found hanged in 2013.
0:31:42 > 0:31:44An open verdict was recorded but Mr Glushkov
0:31:44 > 0:31:46believed he had been murdered.
0:31:46 > 0:31:52The deaths of 14 other Russians who died in the UK in what may be
0:31:52 > 0:31:56suspicious circumstances are being re-examined.
0:31:56 > 0:31:58Some observers believe it is time to join
0:31:58 > 0:31:59the dots.
0:31:59 > 0:32:03Mr Glushkov's death fits into a wider pattern of the last 12
0:32:03 > 0:32:05years of Kremlin opponents dropping dead across Europe.
0:32:05 > 0:32:07The consequences for the Kremlin of this were limited
0:32:07 > 0:32:10to far too long.
0:32:10 > 0:32:15The UK response has recently been much stronger,
0:32:15 > 0:32:19but there is still awful lot we could do.
0:32:19 > 0:32:22The former PR executive, Lord Bell, a friend of Mr Glushkov,
0:32:22 > 0:32:23has told the BBC he suspects
0:32:23 > 0:32:27he was killed after being deemed a traitor by the Russian state.
0:32:27 > 0:32:29Police say that at present there is no link
0:32:29 > 0:32:32between the murder in London and the poisoning of Sergei Skripal
0:32:32 > 0:32:34and his daughter in Salisbury.
0:32:34 > 0:32:35But some Russian exiles are being contacted
0:32:35 > 0:32:43about their safety.
0:32:50 > 0:32:52Police have launched a murder investigation after two women
0:32:52 > 0:32:55were shot and killed at a house in East Sussex.
0:32:55 > 0:32:58Officers were called to an address in St Leonards-on-Sea last night.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00A man has been arrested.
0:33:00 > 0:33:03The victims were known to the suspect, police they are not for
0:33:03 > 0:33:09anyone else in connection to the shooting.
0:33:09 > 0:33:11More than 100 flights to and
0:33:11 > 0:33:20from Heathrow have been cancelled YouTube bad weather. Drivers are
0:33:20 > 0:33:23being asked to avoid trans Pennine roads.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25The former deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe,
0:33:25 > 0:33:28has been dramatically fired, just hours before he was due
0:33:28 > 0:33:29to formally retire.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31Mr McCabe
0:33:31 > 0:33:33said his sacking had been politically motivated,
0:33:33 > 0:33:36and claimed it was part of a wider effort to taint the FBI
0:33:36 > 0:33:37and discredit the intelligence community.
0:33:37 > 0:33:40Mr Trump tweeted it had been a "great day for democracy".
0:33:40 > 0:33:43The number of hospital admissions due to older people falling
0:33:43 > 0:33:47is expected to rise to nearly 1,000 a day by the end of the decade.
0:33:47 > 0:33:50That's according to figures obtained by the Local Government Association.
0:33:50 > 0:33:54It's prompted calls for more funding for adult social care.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57It might have been panned by some critics, but Hugh Jackman's movie
0:33:57 > 0:34:00musical 'The Greatest Showman' continues to dominate the cinema
0:34:00 > 0:34:04and music charts - sitting at the top of the UK album

0:34:13 > 0:34:17The film is loosely based on the life of circus impresario
0:34:17 > 0:34:20PT Barnum - aka The Greatest Showman.
0:34:20 > 0:34:24The only other album that's managed to spend longer at the top spot
0:34:24 > 0:34:27in the UK in the last 30 years is Adele's 21,
0:34:27 > 0:34:34which managed 11 weeks at the top.
0:34:34 > 0:34:39Those are the main story this morning. That film is like a crabby
0:34:39 > 0:34:45film, which is why it has been so popular, because so many people have
0:34:45 > 0:34:50just thought, I don't want any more misery, I just want happiness. And
0:34:50 > 0:34:53there will be some great happiness
0:34:53 > 0:34:54misery, I just want happiness. And there will be some great happiness
0:34:54 > 0:34:57today in the rugby, if this colour comes out on top. What a St
0:34:57 > 0:35:00Patrick's Day that would be.
0:35:00 > 0:35:04Ireland face England at Twickenham, normally a fortress for Eddie Jones'
0:35:04 > 0:35:09side - but they've had their problems throughout
0:35:09 > 0:35:17the tournament, as Joe Wilson reports.
0:35:18 > 0:35:23Twickenham on Friday revealed the seats, they always green not for St
0:35:23 > 0:35:28Patrick's Day. But here Ireland six since nations perfection. First they
0:35:28 > 0:35:34beat France. Lastgasp in Paris. The second win was against Italy. Next
0:35:34 > 0:35:38Wales were beaten in Dublin. Four more tries beat Scotland which
0:35:38 > 0:35:44leaves just England, five wins and a grandslam.Everyone is aware of the
0:35:44 > 0:35:51significance it has four Irish rugby in this group of players, but there
0:35:51 > 0:35:55is nervous energy but it is very exciting.Ireland did the grandslam
0:35:55 > 0:35:58nine years ago by the early other time they achieved this feat was
0:35:58 > 0:36:031948. There was no commentary, Ireland in grave. If Ireland are
0:36:03 > 0:36:07here to try and make history, England are certainly trying to find
0:36:07 > 0:36:12a future. Coach Eddie Jones week apologising about a leadership
0:36:12 > 0:36:16speech filmed last year when he bantered about island being
0:36:16 > 0:36:22"Scummy". He has made radical changes to his team to play Ireland,
0:36:22 > 0:36:24often selections speak louder than words.Any team that wins 11 games
0:36:24 > 0:36:29in a row are worthy champions of the Six Nations. We are very respectful
0:36:29 > 0:36:34of them, they have weakness like any team.England's weaknesses have been
0:36:34 > 0:36:38starkly exposed in two consecutive defeats. Eddie Jones has never lost
0:36:38 > 0:36:41with England at Twickenham and that is part of the fascination tomorrow.
0:36:41 > 0:36:51Tickets offered for crazy sums, grandslam seats a grand each.
0:36:52 > 0:36:54England's women ended their Six Nations with victory over
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Ireland - but they finished runners up to France.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59It finished 33-11 to England at the Ricoh Arena -
0:36:59 > 0:37:01Danielle Waterman becoming the nation's leading try-scorer
0:37:01 > 0:37:05with 47 - she's now just two tries short of Rory Underwood's overall
0:37:05 > 0:37:05England record.
0:37:05 > 0:37:12France took the title with victory over Wales.
0:37:12 > 0:37:15Medals have proved elusive for Great Britain on the penultimate
0:37:15 > 0:37:17day of competition at the Winter Paralympics.
0:37:17 > 0:37:20Let's go over to Pyeongchang now, and our reporter Kate Grey -
0:37:20 > 0:37:26bring us up to date, Kate.
0:37:26 > 0:37:30It has been a quiet day for Great Britain on the eighth day of action
0:37:30 > 0:37:35here in Pyeongchang, just to make this athlete in action. James
0:37:35 > 0:37:38Whitley went in the standing slalom in the alpine skiing, he finished
0:37:38 > 0:37:4210th in the end in what was a very tough course and a very competitive
0:37:42 > 0:37:46category with lots of mistakes made by athletes higher up than him, but
0:37:46 > 0:37:51he could not quite improved on his performance, finishing 10th, but it
0:37:51 > 0:37:54is his best performance at the Paralympic games, he did compete at
0:37:54 > 0:37:59in Sochi where he finished 14th and 15. An improvement but no medals for
0:37:59 > 0:38:03the 20-year-old. Great Britain also had an athlete over at the
0:38:03 > 0:38:07cross-country skiing, he went in the 7.5 kilometre race. He came to these
0:38:07 > 0:38:11games just hoping to gain some experience, he only got into the
0:38:11 > 0:38:15sport 18 months ago and hoping to make it to the Beijing 2022 games.
0:38:15 > 0:38:21And he finished 14th today, so great experience for him, who will be
0:38:21 > 0:38:26hoping to improve in his next games. There was gold for South Korea in
0:38:26 > 0:38:31that event, the first time South Korea have won a Paralympic gold, a
0:38:31 > 0:38:35great result for the home nation here and date to get a gold medal.
0:38:35 > 0:38:47Lots of mixed emotions, Great Britain, the visually impaired women
0:38:47 > 0:38:51will go in the slalom where Great Britain will have their last attempt
0:38:51 > 0:38:59at winning a medal.Thank you very much. If you thought you had seen it
0:38:59 > 0:39:05all from Jose Marino, you are wrong. He gave a 12 minute answer his press
0:39:05 > 0:39:08conference yesterday defending Manchester United 's Mac shop exit
0:39:08 > 0:39:13in the Champions League. Here is just a snippet of this rant.I am
0:39:13 > 0:39:19not going to cry, because I heard a bit of building, I am not going to
0:39:19 > 0:39:27disappear, when I was 20 years old I was nobody in football, and now at
0:39:27 > 0:39:31505I am what I am, I did what I did, because of work, because of my
0:39:31 > 0:39:35talent and because of my mentality. I could be in another country with
0:39:35 > 0:39:44the league in the pocket, the kind of lead you win even before the
0:39:44 > 0:39:50league starts, but I am here.He is the kind of many wouldn't interrupt,
0:39:50 > 0:40:00you are just let it go. TV gold. Could you imagine interrupting him,
0:40:00 > 0:40:07you would not want to do it.
0:40:10 > 0:40:13It was a frustrating evening for Hibernian as they missed
0:40:13 > 0:40:15the chance to go third in the Scottish Premiership.
0:40:15 > 0:40:17Hibs went ahead in the second minute,
0:40:17 > 0:40:21had their keeper sent off not long after, and held out until the final
0:40:21 > 0:40:23stages when Chris Kane equalised for St Johnstone.
0:40:23 > 0:40:26We'll see video assistant referees used at this summer's World Cup
0:40:26 > 0:40:34in Russia after Fifa approved the controversial system.
0:40:34 > 0:40:37It's been trialled in the FA Cup this season but has been criticised
0:40:37 > 0:40:40by many for taking too long and being overused.
0:40:40 > 0:40:43It allows referees to consult an official with access to video
0:40:43 > 0:40:50replays in order to make key decisions.
0:40:50 > 0:40:53The Cheltenham Gold Cup is one of the biggest racing events
0:40:53 > 0:40:57of the year - and we got a contest which lived up to that billing.
0:40:57 > 0:41:00It was, literally, a two horse race with Native River holding off
0:41:00 > 0:41:02the favourite Might Bite.
0:41:02 > 0:41:05That gave jockey Richard Johnson his second Gold Cup triump -
0:41:05 > 0:41:12and a first for trainer Colin Tizzard.
0:41:12 > 0:41:14And it seems that Kevin Pietersen might have finally hung
0:41:14 > 0:41:17up his bat.
0:41:17 > 0:41:20He tweeted 'Boots Up. Thank you' after playing
0:41:20 > 0:41:20for Quetta Gladiators
0:41:20 > 0:41:22in the Pakistan Super League.
0:41:22 > 0:41:24The former England captain had indicated the tournament
0:41:24 > 0:41:25would be his last.
0:41:25 > 0:41:28The second of our commonwealth games previews. Last week Michael went to
0:41:28 > 0:41:31meet the youngest game -- youngest's athlete, what 11-year-old tennis
0:41:31 > 0:41:41player, and this week he has been to meet one of the oldest.
0:41:41 > 0:41:42David Calvert from Northern Ireland.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45He's heading to his 11th games to compete in the highest calibre
0:41:45 > 0:41:47shooting event, full bore rifle.
0:41:47 > 0:41:50Before he left Mike joined David and his partner in Surrey -
0:41:50 > 0:41:53although it was more like Siberia.
0:42:04 > 0:42:10He is arguably the best in the world will stop you a matter target which
0:42:10 > 0:42:14could be 900 metres away. A little black. On the horizon, a bull's-eye
0:42:14 > 0:42:18the size of a dinner plate, and yet conditions more aching to Siberia,
0:42:18 > 0:42:23David Calvert-Jones now in his 60s, is going to his 11 commonwealth
0:42:23 > 0:42:29games, will hit 99% of the time.It is a sport that you can start in
0:42:29 > 0:42:34your teens and continue well past normal retirement age, you can
0:42:34 > 0:42:40compete and be competitive the decades. It is the challenge of the
0:42:40 > 0:42:49wind effect and also the skills of firing a good shot.There is a
0:42:49 > 0:42:53crack, you see the splash of the sound can you feel the buzz in the
0:42:53 > 0:42:57target, you pull it down, it could be a stomach muscles.Give it
0:42:57 > 0:43:01another push, and at this point there would be another hole in the
0:43:01 > 0:43:10target. The maximum possible score in the individual commonwealth game
0:43:10 > 0:43:17event is 405 points. David scored 404 to set the record.Wow. David is
0:43:17 > 0:43:22used to being carried to the podium, as is the tradition in fullbore
0:43:22 > 0:43:25rifle shooting, having won four commonwealth golds for his native
0:43:25 > 0:43:29Northern Ireland and four bronze.It is regarded as a blue-ribbon event
0:43:29 > 0:43:33by quite a few in the sport of shooting, partly because of the
0:43:33 > 0:43:37heritage colour is where it all started back in 1860, with the award
0:43:37 > 0:43:41of the Queens prize by Queen Victoria.Never been that
0:43:41 > 0:43:44comfortable around large bangs but what worried me most as I was
0:43:44 > 0:43:48invited to take a shot in this high calibre sport is how far the bullet
0:43:48 > 0:43:53can travel in that wind.Fresh winds today would blow the bullet by ten
0:43:53 > 0:43:59feet.It is why in pairs you rely on your partner to help you line up
0:43:59 > 0:44:08your shots.Line up the sites... Take your time.It is all about
0:44:08 > 0:44:12mental strength under pressure. Ready when you are. To squeeze
0:44:12 > 0:44:18gently.You do feel a slight, once it is pushing to your shoulder, the
0:44:18 > 0:44:28whole body takes it.The shop that is showing is a simple bull's-eye. I
0:44:28 > 0:44:33would stop while you are ahead.I will leave it there, to 25-year-old
0:44:33 > 0:44:38Jack Alexander to partner David at the Commonwealth Games.Privilege to
0:44:38 > 0:44:43shoot alongside David, and are not many people in the game who would be
0:44:43 > 0:44:48at the top of their game for as long as David had, he is passing on his
0:44:48 > 0:44:54knowledge and enjoys me doing well as well.All that Jack and David are
0:44:54 > 0:45:01aiming for now is a Commonwealth golds.
0:45:08 > 0:45:13That is amazing, isn't it?It is such a precision game, but also in
0:45:13 > 0:45:18the cold, which won't be a problem in Australia!900 metres, I hope
0:45:18 > 0:45:22there was nothing behind the target when he was shooting.Everyone was
0:45:22 > 0:45:30giving him a very wide earth. And Mike is looking forward to... Is he
0:45:30 > 0:45:34going out?He will be at the Commonwealth Games for the duration
0:45:34 > 0:45:48of the games, starting in two weeks because time. -- two weeks' time.
0:45:48 > 0:45:53The mini beast from the east is what we have been told about, and some
0:45:53 > 0:45:53The mini beast from the east is what we have been told about, and some
0:45:53 > 0:45:56really low temperatures. It will feel very cold for the next couple
0:45:56 > 0:45:57of days.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02Here is Helen Willetts with a look at this morning's weather.
0:46:02 > 0:46:06A real shock to the system, because yesterday it felt so mild across the
0:46:06 > 0:46:11central half of the country. Today will be 10 degrees down, and we are
0:46:11 > 0:46:15concerning ourselves with ice from the morning and slow as we go
0:46:15 > 0:46:20through the day to day will out from the weather office, much more detail
0:46:20 > 0:46:24on the website. I will try and take you through it. The high pressure
0:46:24 > 0:46:28across Scandinavia is sinking southwards, allowing the mini beast
0:46:28 > 0:46:33from the east, pushing the cold air, the Siberian air back across the
0:46:33 > 0:46:37country. We also have weather fronts to complicated, so the weather front
0:46:37 > 0:46:40sinking southwards through the Midlands and East Anglia at the
0:46:40 > 0:46:44moment. As a drift south it will turn progressively to snow, light
0:46:44 > 0:46:48snow initially. Showers following across the north-east of England,
0:46:48 > 0:46:52the Midlands, and later the south and east, causing concern. That is
0:46:52 > 0:46:56where we have the amber warnings. It is cold out there, and it will be
0:46:56 > 0:47:00bitterly cold today because of the strength of the wind. It will feel
0:47:00 > 0:47:08like -6 minus seven. The fewest showers across Northern Ireland in
0:47:17 > 0:47:20the western fringes of Scotland, England in particular, perhaps
0:47:20 > 0:47:23north-west England as well. Let's focus on the amber warnings. We are
0:47:23 > 0:47:25concerned for several centimetres building up across parts of
0:47:25 > 0:47:28Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, right across the North Midlands, possibly
0:47:28 > 0:47:32as far west is north Wales. Those showers will keep going, and across
0:47:32 > 0:47:34the south-east of England, during the day and overnight. Overnight as
0:47:34 > 0:47:38well is the added complication of a longer spell of rain across southern
0:47:38 > 0:47:41England and south Wales. Those are the main areas concerned, but we
0:47:41 > 0:47:44could see snow showers just about anywhere and we could see rather icy
0:47:44 > 0:47:48conditions where that snow has fallen. Through the evening and
0:47:48 > 0:47:50overnight you can see the snow showers continuing to feed in on
0:47:50 > 0:47:54strong to gale force winds. Here is the more significant is no
0:47:54 > 0:47:57potentially in the south. Big question marks as to how large that
0:47:57 > 0:48:02area will be, how far north and west it will go. It will be bitterly cold
0:48:02 > 0:48:05anyway tonight, so where we have seen any rain, sleet was no, it will
0:48:05 > 0:48:09turn quite icy. We could wake up to a covering of snow across many
0:48:09 > 0:48:12southern areas, more so across the Central Lowlands overnight and at
0:48:12 > 0:48:16first tomorrow. I think we have a few showers continuing, another
0:48:16 > 0:48:19really cold day. Where we have had this know it will be lying around
0:48:19 > 0:48:22because of that strong to gale force winds, and temperatures will again
0:48:22 > 0:48:26reach above freezing. But he added on effect of the wind, it will feel
0:48:26 > 0:48:30bitterly cold. It will probably just be small, a mini beast from the
0:48:30 > 0:48:35east, because we start to cut off this easily feared is we go into
0:48:35 > 0:48:39next week. And instead we pull in a northerly. That is not that much
0:48:39 > 0:48:42warmer, but it cuts off the really bitterly cold air from Siberia. I
0:48:42 > 0:48:47will keep you updated through the morning.Thank you very much, we
0:48:47 > 0:48:48will see you later.
0:48:48 > 0:48:51We will be back with the headlines at 7:00am.
0:48:51 > 0:48:53Now it's time for Click, and the team are looking at how
0:48:53 > 0:48:54Now it's time for Click, and the team are looking at how
0:48:54 > 0:48:56technology could transform the health service.
0:48:56 > 0:48:57For almost 70 years, the UK's National Health Service has
0:49:14 > 0:49:16For almost 70 years, the UK's National Health Service has
0:49:16 > 0:49:20been a free service at the point of care.
0:49:20 > 0:49:24But that model is under strain as the population ages and chronic
0:49:24 > 0:49:29health conditions increase while resources shrink.
0:49:29 > 0:49:33A recent study by the Royal College of Physicians showed that almost two
0:49:33 > 0:49:36thirds of doctors think that patient safety has deteriorated with one
0:49:36 > 0:49:37doctor saying we are not robots.
0:49:37 > 0:49:40We are human staff with limits.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44Should the NHS turn to robots to ease the strain on human staff?
0:49:44 > 0:49:47Jane has been looking at how data driven technology could transform
0:49:47 > 0:49:54care in the NHS.
0:49:54 > 0:49:57Could artificial intelligence help save the NHS?
0:49:57 > 0:50:00More people are looking at innovative ways to ease
0:50:00 > 0:50:04the workload of doctors and nurses.
0:50:04 > 0:50:07Computer programmes can rapidly analyse huge quantities
0:50:07 > 0:50:11of information in ways that humans do not have the time nor brain
0:50:11 > 0:50:13capacity to do.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16In 2016, Click filmed Google's Deep Mind at
0:50:16 > 0:50:17Moorfield's Eye Hospital.
0:50:17 > 0:50:19They were developing an algorithm to identify abnormalities
0:50:19 > 0:50:23in eye scans.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26I am going to see three other projects integrating AI and data
0:50:26 > 0:50:28collection for monitoring, automation and decreasing waiting
0:50:28 > 0:50:33times.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37Dementia is now the leading cause of death in the UK.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40At the Manor Hospital in Coventry, software is being tested to remotely
0:50:40 > 0:50:44monitor patients on the dementia ward.
0:50:44 > 0:50:47This is one of the rooms on the ward.
0:50:47 > 0:50:50It looks like any other hospital room except in this one
0:50:50 > 0:50:53there are two infrared illuminators and an optical sensor
0:50:53 > 0:51:00monitoring my movements including when I'm asleep.
0:51:00 > 0:51:02Oxehealth uses a standard digital camera and the tongue-twisting
0:51:02 > 0:51:05science of photoplethysmography.
0:51:05 > 0:51:08Every time your heart beats, your skin briefly flashes red.
0:51:08 > 0:51:12We can not see this but the sensor in the camera can detect
0:51:12 > 0:51:17these so-called microblushes.
0:51:17 > 0:51:20It even picks up my vital signs when I am hiding under a table
0:51:20 > 0:51:24in the room as those microblushes can still be seen on my arm.
0:51:24 > 0:51:27There is an alert if I leave my bed.
0:51:27 > 0:51:30And the nurse can click on a live feed to see what is happening
0:51:30 > 0:51:34and determine whether they need to come and check on me right away.
0:51:34 > 0:51:37For the staff, initially, when it looked like we had a camera
0:51:37 > 0:51:40in a box in a room, they were not happy about it.
0:51:40 > 0:51:43But when we spent some time with Oxehealth,
0:51:43 > 0:51:45they explained to them and they see how it works,
0:51:45 > 0:51:47they love it.
0:51:47 > 0:51:50They love the fact it gives you an extra...
0:51:50 > 0:51:54An extra support.
0:51:54 > 0:51:57The project is in the pilot stage and is awaiting medical
0:51:57 > 0:51:58certification.
0:51:58 > 0:52:01The data collected is being analysed remotely by a team in Oxford
0:52:01 > 0:52:08and will be used to train the programme to be more predictive.
0:52:08 > 0:52:11We have never had this capability as a species,
0:52:11 > 0:52:13to constantly get heart rate, breathing rate, movement
0:52:13 > 0:52:14and routine data.
0:52:14 > 0:52:17There is no reason as we combine and we fuse the data using AI
0:52:17 > 0:52:20we cannot detect the onset of dementia or prevent
0:52:20 > 0:52:21it getting worse.
0:52:21 > 0:52:24We can detect problems early so you can stay in your own home
0:52:24 > 0:52:26or a comfortable setting without coming into hospital.
0:52:26 > 0:52:30That will save a huge amount of time.
0:52:30 > 0:52:32Saving critical time was the motivation behind automating
0:52:32 > 0:52:36processes at NHS Blood and Transplant.
0:52:36 > 0:52:394,500 people receive a transplant each year,
0:52:39 > 0:52:41but 6,500 are on the list.
0:52:41 > 0:52:44Every day, three people die waiting for a transplant.
0:52:44 > 0:52:46A lot of information needs to be sifted through to
0:52:46 > 0:52:51make life-and-death decisions.
0:52:51 > 0:52:54The NHS is now using public cloud technology from IBM to help maintain
0:52:54 > 0:52:57huge databases that used to be managed with a marker
0:52:57 > 0:53:01and a whiteboard.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04By working with some of this automated technology we can make
0:53:04 > 0:53:07sure we are making the best possible decisions and that our clinical
0:53:07 > 0:53:10teams are thinking through the best outcomes for all of the patients
0:53:10 > 0:53:13on the transplant waiting list, and that our staff, who are often
0:53:13 > 0:53:16working until three in the morning in a high-pressure environment,
0:53:16 > 0:53:18needing to allocate organs quickly, they are supported
0:53:18 > 0:53:22by this technology.
0:53:22 > 0:53:26In the future, the team hopes that artificial intelligence will be able
0:53:26 > 0:53:29to predict how long people will be on the waiting list for an organ.
0:53:29 > 0:53:33There is an average waiting time of two weeks to see a doctor
0:53:33 > 0:53:35in the UK.
0:53:35 > 0:53:38This can drop to two hours if you register with GP At Hand.
0:53:38 > 0:53:42You can sign up if you live or work within certain zones of London.
0:53:42 > 0:53:46You need to give up your regular practice doctor and register with GP
0:53:46 > 0:53:49At Hand's remote surgery.
0:53:49 > 0:53:5226,000 people have registered so far.
0:53:52 > 0:53:56I had a chance to test it out, pretending I had a case
0:53:56 > 0:53:57of food poisoning.
0:53:57 > 0:54:00First I went through a triage with a chat bot on the app
0:54:00 > 0:54:03who recommended I speak remotely to a real-life human doctor.
0:54:03 > 0:54:06The doctor recommends further care and can even send a prescription
0:54:06 > 0:54:11to a pharmacy.
0:54:11 > 0:54:14The artificial intelligence in the app draws on billions of data
0:54:14 > 0:54:16points and can cross reference the latest medical research
0:54:16 > 0:54:22from journals and studies around the world.
0:54:22 > 0:54:25You use artificial intelligence to tell you whether or not
0:54:25 > 0:54:28to see a doctor.
0:54:28 > 0:54:32You are always free to see a doctor anyway but what we find is that 40%
0:54:32 > 0:54:35of the people who get reassured that they have everything they need,
0:54:35 > 0:54:36they stop there.
0:54:36 > 0:54:39The app has faced criticism from the Royal College of GPswho say
0:54:39 > 0:54:42that younger users are being cherry picked for the service.
0:54:42 > 0:54:45NHS England lodged a formal objection to the planned
0:54:45 > 0:54:52rollout beyond London.
0:54:52 > 0:54:54Whenever anybody comes up with a great, exciting idea
0:54:54 > 0:54:57they are desperate to see it rolled out everywhere.
0:54:57 > 0:55:00I would say we need to give people safe, fair and equitable care.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03If we roll things out too quickly without ensuring that safety
0:55:03 > 0:55:06and fairness, we run the risk of causing unintended harm.
0:55:06 > 0:55:09So it is wise and sensible that independent evaluations are now
0:55:09 > 0:55:12going on of these new technologies so that people can be reassured
0:55:12 > 0:55:15that they are safe and they are fair for everybody.
0:55:15 > 0:55:16I think it is wrong.
0:55:16 > 0:55:20I genuinely think that slowing down what people want is just not right.
0:55:20 > 0:55:22I cannot understand why people are hesitant.
0:55:22 > 0:55:25Often it is because they are scared of new technology.
0:55:25 > 0:55:27They do not know what the consequences are.
0:55:27 > 0:55:28And that is fine.
0:55:28 > 0:55:30They need to check that and reassure themselves.
0:55:30 > 0:55:36There is nothing wrong with that.
0:55:36 > 0:55:41I have seen three ways companies are working with data to help
0:55:41 > 0:55:42with monitoring, automation and decreasing waiting times.
0:55:42 > 0:55:45All areas that could help an overstressed health service.
0:55:45 > 0:55:51Could artificial intelligence help to save the NHS?
0:55:51 > 0:55:53It is an exciting development worldwide but never more
0:55:53 > 0:55:56so than in healthcare and there are certainly things AI
0:55:56 > 0:55:59can help as we to plough through data we already have,
0:55:59 > 0:56:01and provide answers to the questions we didn't even
0:56:01 > 0:56:02know needed answering.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05But let's be clear, AI will never replace person-to-person
0:56:05 > 0:56:11interaction.
0:56:11 > 0:56:14The touch of a doctor, the looking deep into someone's eyes
0:56:14 > 0:56:16and recognising their physical, social and psychological make-up
0:56:16 > 0:56:19of the person is what matters, not just a bleeding leg
0:56:19 > 0:56:20or a headache.
0:56:20 > 0:56:25It is much more than that and AI, it will be quite a long time before
0:56:25 > 0:56:28AI comes close.
0:56:28 > 0:56:29You think it ever will?
0:56:29 > 0:56:37I will be stunned if within my lifetime AI ever replaces a doctor.
0:56:42 > 0:56:45We are going to interrupt this broadcast with some breaking news
0:56:45 > 0:56:47coming into us here at the BBC.
0:56:47 > 0:56:50It is a world first, BBC Click presenter Spencer Kelly
0:56:50 > 0:56:51has been replaced by a robot.
0:56:51 > 0:56:54It has been dubbed RoboSpen and the artifical intelligence
0:56:54 > 0:56:59machine is apparently capable of a whole host of emotions
0:56:59 > 0:57:01as well as understanding and writing stories and crucially,
0:57:01 > 0:57:03he never forgets his lines.
0:57:03 > 0:57:05RoboSpen joins the now from the factory that created him.
0:57:05 > 0:57:11Over to you.
0:57:11 > 0:57:19Sounds like you said I was artificially intelligent.
0:57:19 > 0:57:23As a robot I am often asked to pose for photos and TV reports about AI.
0:57:23 > 0:57:26While I am a humaoid robot, I am not intelligent.
0:57:26 > 0:57:28Everything I am saying is written by a human.
0:57:28 > 0:57:35The point is, robots and AI are not the same thing.
0:57:35 > 0:57:38Observe my articulated hands with four independent fingers
0:57:38 > 0:57:43powered by eight air cylinders.
0:57:43 > 0:57:46Engineering Arts has made a name for itself by making robotic
0:57:46 > 0:57:47performers, actors and communicators.
0:57:47 > 0:57:50Which, according to Will, is pretty much the only reason
0:57:50 > 0:57:58the world might need humanoid robots.
0:57:59 > 0:58:05Humanoid robots are great for entertainment and communication,
0:58:05 > 0:58:12if you want something that interacts with people,
0:58:13 > 0:58:16the best way to do that is to make something person-shaped.
0:58:16 > 0:58:20So if you think Star Wars, C3P0 - the robot that talks a lot,
0:58:20 > 0:58:24has a personality, doesn't do a lot of useful things.
0:58:24 > 0:58:27Will and his team design and build robots here from scratch
0:58:27 > 0:58:29from the aluminium bones to the rubbery spines
0:58:29 > 0:58:34and plastic shells.
0:58:34 > 0:58:38While the robots they have made are more C3P0, the next wave our way
0:58:38 > 0:58:43into the uncanny valley.
0:58:43 > 0:58:51Oh my goodness, it has just come to life with the eyes there.
0:58:52 > 0:58:54You have seen Silence of the Lambs, haven't you?
0:58:54 > 0:58:57That is very eerie, that is.
0:58:57 > 0:58:59If you know what I mean.
0:58:59 > 0:59:03Will is fascinated with how the human body works and a lot
0:59:03 > 0:59:05of this research concentrates on making natural looking body
0:59:05 > 0:59:09movements that are also very quiet.
0:59:09 > 0:59:13It is something that he believes might find a place in the field
0:59:13 > 0:59:16of prosthetics, although he says there is still a lot of work
0:59:16 > 0:59:17to be done.
0:59:17 > 0:59:20I don't have a single precision part in my body.
0:59:20 > 0:59:23How can I achieve this level of precision with these organic,
0:59:23 > 0:59:24bones and bits of mushy flesh.
0:59:24 > 0:59:28One of the biggest problems we have is that there is nothing as good
0:59:28 > 0:59:30as human muscle.
0:59:30 > 0:59:33So for all of this motor development that we have done,
0:59:33 > 0:59:38we don't come anywhere near to what a human can do.
0:59:38 > 0:59:42Where you will see humanoid robots, you will see them in a commercial
0:59:42 > 0:59:46context, so you might go into a shop and you might see a robot
0:59:46 > 0:59:48in there that is trying to sell you something.
0:59:48 > 0:59:52Don't worry about all the clever AI, that's really going to stay
0:59:52 > 0:59:57on your computer, on your smartphone, on a webpage.
0:59:57 > 1:00:05It's not going chase you up the stairs any time soon.
1:00:07 > 1:00:10That's it for the short cut of Click this week.
1:00:10 > 1:00:13The full version is up on iPlayer.
1:00:13 > 1:00:16Join us next week for part two of our special look
1:00:16 > 1:00:17at the future of work.
1:00:17 > 1:00:20Don't forget we are on Twitter at @bbcclick and on Facebook too.
1:00:20 > 1:00:22Isn't it time you were leaving?
1:00:22 > 1:00:27OK, we're off.
1:00:51 > 1:00:54Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
1:00:54 > 1:00:56Police investigating the murder of a businessman in London begin
1:00:56 > 1:00:58contacting other Russian exiles to discuss their personal
1:00:58 > 1:00:59safety in Britain.
1:00:59 > 1:01:02Forensic teams have been working through the night to find out
1:01:02 > 1:01:10what happened to Nikolai Glushkov, who was found dead on Monday.
1:01:20 > 1:01:23Good morning, it's Saturday 17th April.
1:01:23 > 1:01:27Also this morning:
1:01:27 > 1:01:30Police launch a murder investigation after two women are shot dead
1:01:30 > 1:01:34at a house in East Sussex.
1:01:34 > 1:01:38100 flights are cancelled and drivers are told
1:01:38 > 1:01:39to expect disruption, as the "mini beast from
1:01:39 > 1:01:46the east" sweeps in.
1:01:47 > 1:01:52A bit of a shock to the system. We have got amber warnings enforced
1:01:52 > 1:01:57from the Met Office taking effect later this afternoon, but it will be
1:01:57 > 1:02:01bitterly cold will stop I is concerned and snow from the mid
1:02:01 > 1:02:04afternoon onwards. All the details in quarter of an hour.
1:02:04 > 1:02:05All the details in quarter of an hour.
1:02:05 > 1:02:08In sport, the St Patrick's Day party heads for Twickenham.
1:02:08 > 1:02:10Ireland know they're Six Nations champions already but victory over
1:02:10 > 1:02:16England would give them the Grand Slam.
1:02:16 > 1:02:18Our main story this morning:
1:02:18 > 1:02:19Our main story this morning:
1:02:19 > 1:02:22Police investigating the murder of a Russian man in London say
1:02:22 > 1:02:24they have begun contacting other Russian exiles in Britain
1:02:24 > 1:02:25to discuss their safety.
1:02:25 > 1:02:27Forensics teams have continued working at the home
1:02:27 > 1:02:29of 68-year Nikolai Glushkov, who was found dead on Monday.
1:02:29 > 1:02:32But police say at this stage, it is not being connected
1:02:32 > 1:02:34to the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his
1:02:34 > 1:02:35daughter in Salisbury.
1:02:35 > 1:02:38John McManus reports.
1:02:38 > 1:02:4168-year-old Nikolai Glushkov, found dead at his home
1:02:41 > 1:02:45on this unassuming road in Southwest London on Monday.
1:02:45 > 1:02:49But Mr Glushkov's life was anything but ordinary.
1:02:49 > 1:02:52A post mortem has revealed he was murdered, killed
1:02:52 > 1:02:54by compression to the neck.
1:02:54 > 1:02:57Unusually, counterterrorism police are leading the investigation
1:02:57 > 1:03:00because of Mr Glushkov's past.
1:03:00 > 1:03:08In the 90s he was the director of Russian airline Aeroflot,
1:03:09 > 1:03:12But was jailed after being found guilty of fraud and
1:03:12 > 1:03:12money-laundering.
1:03:12 > 1:03:16money-laundering.
1:03:16 > 1:03:19He sought political asylum in the UK and was still
1:03:19 > 1:03:20being sued by Russia.
1:03:20 > 1:03:26He was friends with Russian businessmen Boris Berezovsky
1:03:26 > 1:03:27who was found hanged in 2013.
1:03:27 > 1:03:30An open verdict was recorded but Mr Glushkov believed
1:03:30 > 1:03:35he had been murdered.
1:03:35 > 1:03:40Some observers believe it is time to join the dots.
1:03:40 > 1:03:45Mr Glushkov's death fits into a wider pattern of the last 12
1:03:45 > 1:03:52years of Russian opponents dropping dead across Europe.
1:03:53 > 1:03:56The consequences for the Kremlin of this were limited for far too
1:03:56 > 1:03:58long, the UK response as recently been much stronger, but there
1:03:58 > 1:04:00are still awful lot we could do.
1:04:00 > 1:04:03The former PR executive, Lord Bell, a friend of Mr Glushkov has told
1:04:03 > 1:04:06the BBC he suspects he was killed after being deemed a traitor
1:04:06 > 1:04:07by the Russian state.
1:04:07 > 1:04:10Police say that at present there is no link between the murder
1:04:10 > 1:04:12in London and the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his
1:04:12 > 1:04:15daughter in Salisbury.
1:04:15 > 1:04:20But some Russian exiles are being contacted about their safety.
1:04:20 > 1:04:28Our reporter John McManus is outside the Russian embassy this morning.
1:04:28 > 1:04:31A lot of new lines coming in and shuffling in terms of how much
1:04:31 > 1:04:38people been told and we understand that is an international diplomatic
1:04:38 > 1:04:43situation.
1:04:44 > 1:04:48The police told us last night they are contacting Russian exiles to
1:04:48 > 1:04:51talk to them about their safety. That does not mean they are in
1:04:51 > 1:04:57danger about the safety, but they want to talk about their
1:04:57 > 1:05:02circumstances. The diplomatic fallout is very tense, given what
1:05:02 > 1:05:07happened to Sergei Skripal and his daughter, who were poisoned using a
1:05:07 > 1:05:11nerve agent. Theresa May says that nerve agent was produced in Soviet
1:05:11 > 1:05:15era Russia and is pointing the finger at Russia and the Russians
1:05:15 > 1:05:20had denied all knowledge of what happened, but the diplomatic row has
1:05:20 > 1:05:24been huge. The Prime Minister is expelling 23 diplomats from the
1:05:24 > 1:05:29Russian embassy behind me and the Russians will respond in kind,
1:05:29 > 1:05:33expelling British diplomats from our embassy in Moscow. The words get
1:05:33 > 1:05:38hotter day by day. Yesterday the Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said
1:05:38 > 1:05:43it was overwhelmingly likely that the Russian president, Vladimir
1:05:43 > 1:05:47Putin, had personally ordered that nerve attack in Salisbury. The
1:05:47 > 1:05:51Russians say those comments are disgusting and they are annoyed by
1:05:51 > 1:05:54that. Quite a lot going on diplomatically. It does not look
1:05:54 > 1:05:56like it will cool down any time soon.
1:05:56 > 1:05:58soon.
1:05:58 > 1:06:00Police have launched a murder investigation after two women
1:06:00 > 1:06:03were shot and killed at a house in East Sussex.
1:06:03 > 1:06:06Officers were called to an address in St Leonards on Sea last night.
1:06:06 > 1:06:08A man has been arrested.
1:06:08 > 1:06:13Marta Newman's report contains some flashing images.
1:06:13 > 1:06:18Officers responded immediately when they got a report of a shooting
1:06:18 > 1:06:22at a house at around 8pm last night.
1:06:22 > 1:06:25The road in this seaside town was closed and local residents
1:06:25 > 1:06:29were asked to stay away from the area and remain indoors.
1:06:29 > 1:06:34Police say two women aged 32 and 53 were killed.
1:06:34 > 1:06:37Two other women including one who is pregnant were led to safety
1:06:37 > 1:06:40by officers and taken to hospital.
1:06:40 > 1:06:44Both were uninjured but suffering from shock.
1:06:44 > 1:06:48A 35-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder.
1:06:48 > 1:06:56He remains in custody for questioning.
1:06:59 > 1:07:02Police have said that the victims were known to the suspect
1:07:02 > 1:07:04and that they are not looking for anyone else in connection
1:07:04 > 1:07:09with the shooting.
1:07:09 > 1:07:15The Met Office is issuing an amber warning for snow and ice in many
1:07:15 > 1:07:19areas of Scotland. More than 100 flights to and from Heathrow have
1:07:19 > 1:07:24been cancelled. Highways England is advising motorists to avoid
1:07:24 > 1:07:26trans-Pennine roads.
1:07:26 > 1:07:28trans-Pennine roads.
1:07:28 > 1:07:30The number of hospital admissions due to older people falling
1:07:30 > 1:07:32is expected to rise to nearly one-thousand a day
1:07:32 > 1:07:34by the end of the decade.
1:07:34 > 1:07:36That's according to figures obtained by the Local Government Association.
1:07:36 > 1:07:38It's prompted calls for more funding for adult social care.
1:07:38 > 1:07:41After a fall if someone does not recover fully they are housebound,
1:07:41 > 1:07:44they may need to be provided with home help, meals on wheels,
1:07:44 > 1:07:47and it can also have wider impacts on health,
1:07:47 > 1:07:53and it is often a case that when a person has a serious fall
1:07:53 > 1:07:56it is one of the things that precipitates the slippery slope
1:07:56 > 1:07:58of them becoming housebound.
1:07:58 > 1:08:00The former deputy director of the FBI, Andrew McCabe,
1:08:00 > 1:08:04has been fired, just hours before he was due to formally retire.
1:08:04 > 1:08:06Mr McCabe had faced repeated criticism from President Trump.
1:08:06 > 1:08:08In a statement he said his sacking had been politically motivated
1:08:08 > 1:08:11and claimed it was part of a wider effort to taint the FBI
1:08:11 > 1:08:15and intelligence professionals.
1:08:15 > 1:08:21President Trump tweeted it had been a great day for democracy.
1:08:21 > 1:08:24Tens of thousands of people have been fleeing and northern town in
1:08:24 > 1:08:30Syria. The UN estimates almost 50,000 people have been displaced in
1:08:30 > 1:08:34the last few days with reports from the area that dozens of people were
1:08:34 > 1:08:38killed in air strikes on Friday.
1:08:38 > 1:08:43At least eight people have been injured on a faulty ski lift in
1:08:43 > 1:08:46Georgia. Skiers and snowboarders were flung off at speed. Others were
1:08:46 > 1:08:52forced to jump from the area as their seats hurtled backwards down
1:08:52 > 1:08:59the mountain. So far no cause has been given as to what caused it.
1:08:59 > 1:09:03Three children are being treated for infections that may be linked to
1:09:03 > 1:09:10bacteria in a water supply and Glasgow hospital. NHS Strathclyde is
1:09:10 > 1:09:15investigating after the discovery at the Children's Hospital. They are
1:09:15 > 1:09:25trying to confirm if the infections are linked to water contamination.
1:09:25 > 1:09:28The greatest showman continues to dominate the charts and has been
1:09:28 > 1:09:35setting at the top of the charts for ten weeks.
1:09:37 > 1:09:48ten weeks. The film is loosely based on the life of a circus impresario.
1:09:48 > 1:09:53The only other album that state at the top for a longer was Adele's
1:09:53 > 1:10:04album 21.
1:10:06 > 1:10:08We will have a report on the weather.
1:10:08 > 1:10:10We will have a report on the weather.
1:10:10 > 1:10:12It's almost two weeks since former Russian spy Sergei Skripal
1:10:12 > 1:10:15and his daugher were attacked with a nerve agent in Salisbury.
1:10:15 > 1:10:18The UK is still waiting for a formal response from Russia,
1:10:18 > 1:10:20following the Prime Minister's decision to expel 23
1:10:20 > 1:10:21Russian diplomats.
1:10:21 > 1:10:23Moscow's Foreign Minister has indicated Russia will "certainly"
1:10:23 > 1:10:24expel British diplomats.
1:10:24 > 1:10:26Professor Robert Service is an expert in Russian
1:10:26 > 1:10:30history and politics from the University of Oxford.
1:10:30 > 1:10:36Good morning. Thank you for your time this morning. We are being told
1:10:36 > 1:10:42by quite a few politicians this is not a new Cold War. What is it?It
1:10:42 > 1:10:49is something less than a Cold War. There are two great superpower is
1:10:49 > 1:10:52facing up to each other about to possibly launch nuclear missiles
1:10:52 > 1:10:59against each other, so we are a long way away from that. But it is a very
1:10:59 > 1:11:09severe, freezing over of diplomatic relations between Britain and the
1:11:09 > 1:11:14Russian Federation. It is really serious.When you have the British
1:11:14 > 1:11:22Foreign Secretary claiming that Boris Yeltsin personally ordered the
1:11:22 > 1:11:30poisoning in Salisbury, what do you make of that? I am so sorry I
1:11:30 > 1:11:39apologise for that.It is really easily done.
1:11:39 > 1:11:46easily done. I think that he, Boris Johnson, I have got to get it right
1:11:46 > 1:11:53this time, made a very broad statement. I think we need a few
1:11:53 > 1:12:03more assurances that there is evidence that points directly at the
1:12:03 > 1:12:08Russian president. I do think a lot of the circumstantial evidence
1:12:08 > 1:12:17points at the Russian state. Vladimir Putin certainly does
1:12:17 > 1:12:22supervise the work of the FSB. But whether we can point the finger
1:12:22 > 1:12:33directly at him for these appalling outrages in Salisbury and the murder
1:12:33 > 1:12:41of Nikolai Glushkov in London, we need a lot more evidence.It is
1:12:41 > 1:12:44interesting new couch it in that terminology because we have done
1:12:44 > 1:12:49that. Our Foreign Secretary has exactly personally blamed the
1:12:49 > 1:12:53Russian leader for these actions. Where does this leave the Russian
1:12:53 > 1:12:58reaction? We have been talking for many days about what they may or may
1:12:58 > 1:13:02not do. There is an election happening there. Is there a sense
1:13:02 > 1:13:08they will wait until the election is over and then respond?I think they
1:13:08 > 1:13:15have been much more circumspect than we have been. We rather rushed in to
1:13:15 > 1:13:24making the accusations before laying out the evidence.
1:13:24 > 1:13:27out the evidence. Perhaps we have done this with the relations we have
1:13:27 > 1:13:32had with our Western allies, but this has not been made public yet.
1:13:32 > 1:13:35That is one of the problems with the way that the British Government has
1:13:35 > 1:13:43handled this matter. It has not come into the open with the British
1:13:43 > 1:13:45public and it needs to come into the open with the Russian public as
1:13:45 > 1:13:52well.It may be, Professor, that some people would agree with that
1:13:52 > 1:13:56notion, that more evidence should have been made available. Jeremy
1:13:56 > 1:14:00Corbyn is saying it should be evidence lead. But one of the issues
1:14:00 > 1:14:05people suggest no matter what evidence is put forward, it will
1:14:05 > 1:14:08never be enough to satisfy the Russians and they will always say
1:14:08 > 1:14:12regardless of what is presented or what is independently checked that
1:14:12 > 1:14:17it still has nothing to do with them. It does not get you anywhere.
1:14:17 > 1:14:24It does not get you very far except that it shows a willingness to
1:14:24 > 1:14:31discuss the evidence in as concrete way as you possibly can. But you are
1:14:31 > 1:14:38absolutely right. When the Malaysian airline was downed the Russians just
1:14:38 > 1:14:44insisted on 100% proof that it was definitely them when so much of the
1:14:44 > 1:14:50evidence was already there. They will always say you haven't proved
1:14:50 > 1:14:59it 100%. But I think there is a middle ground between 100% and 0%
1:14:59 > 1:15:04and we need a little bit more. We need more in the public domain so we
1:15:04 > 1:15:10can feel confident that we know what we are talking about.If I may, I
1:15:10 > 1:15:16just wanted to bring one story we are hearing this morning, in the
1:15:16 > 1:15:19last few minutes we are hearing the UK ambassador to Russia in Moscow
1:15:19 > 1:15:27has been summoned to a meeting, called in to a meeting today. That
1:15:27 > 1:15:30meeting will be happening today in Moscow. I just wonder what you make
1:15:30 > 1:15:37of that.They are starting to move the wheels. They are certainly going
1:15:37 > 1:15:46to retaliate. One of the benefits for Vladimir Putin in all of this is
1:15:46 > 1:15:50that he is able to be seen by Russians to stand up to Western
1:15:50 > 1:15:56powers. It is on this basis that a lot of his popularity rests in
1:15:56 > 1:16:07Russia. So pulling in the British ambassador, the old imperial power,
1:16:07 > 1:16:13snubbing your nose at the British, that is quite a popular thing to do.
1:16:13 > 1:16:17Professor, thank you very much for your time. Professor Robert Service
1:16:17 > 1:16:22from the University of Oxford. We understand in the last few
1:16:22 > 1:16:25minutes the UK ambassador to Russia has been summoned to the Russian
1:16:25 > 1:16:29Foreign Ministry and this follows a former spokesperson from the
1:16:29 > 1:16:34ministry saying that it would announce its retaliatory measures
1:16:34 > 1:16:38against London very soon. That meeting is expected to be today for
1:16:38 > 1:16:39the UK ambassador to Russia.
1:16:39 > 1:16:43the UK ambassador to Russia.
1:16:43 > 1:16:50It is 16 minutes past seven.
1:16:50 > 1:16:52Also coming up in the programme: It's the final round of
1:16:52 > 1:16:55the Six Nations but can Ireland complete their Grand Slam by beating
1:16:55 > 1:16:58England at Twickenham?
1:16:58 > 1:17:02That is a short-lived from the venue.
1:17:02 > 1:17:07It is cold, though. That cup will be feeling the chill although there
1:17:07 > 1:17:11will be very hot hands waiting to get onto it. But it is called for a
1:17:11 > 1:17:15lot of us this morning, Helen.
1:17:15 > 1:17:20get onto it. But it is called for a lot of us this morning, Helen.
1:17:20 > 1:17:24Scotland in Rome are probably doing better off than if they stayed at
1:17:24 > 1:17:29home because it will be a shock to the system for all of us.
1:17:29 > 1:17:33Temperatures in all areas are about 10 degrees down. But we are already
1:17:33 > 1:17:38having a few issues with ice. We have some snow around already. We
1:17:38 > 1:17:44have exchanged the mild Atlantic air with the cold Siberian air. But it
1:17:44 > 1:17:49is just a mini incursion of cold air, so it should cut off early next
1:17:49 > 1:17:55week. We have a band of patchy snow falling in Suffolk at the moment. It
1:17:55 > 1:17:58is rain in the south-west but it will turn progressively to sleet and
1:17:58 > 1:18:04snow. It is the showers coming in afterwards and thick and fast
1:18:04 > 1:18:09hitting the same area. It will feel colder than you would expect because
1:18:09 > 1:18:14of the strength of the wind. The best of the sunshine in northern
1:18:14 > 1:18:18Scotland. For most of us it is very low single figures and add on the
1:18:18 > 1:18:24gale force wind and it will feel even colder. If you are heading out,
1:18:24 > 1:18:32wrap up warm. The amber warnings are in force from mid-afternoon onwards.
1:18:32 > 1:18:38These areas will see shower after shower. Because the air is so cold,
1:18:38 > 1:18:42they will all fall as snow. There is another amber warning out for
1:18:42 > 1:18:48tonight. It joins in here because we could have a more significant area
1:18:48 > 1:18:53coming in across southern England and South Wales. There is some
1:18:53 > 1:18:56uncertainty over that. You can see the showers continuing in the South
1:18:56 > 1:19:02East, but then they gathered together for a longer spell of snow
1:19:02 > 1:19:06in southern England, South West England and southern Wales. There is
1:19:06 > 1:19:14a lot of uncertainty as to the area that will affect. Even at lower
1:19:14 > 1:19:19levels there could be a few centimetres. And a widespread chill
1:19:19 > 1:19:24tomorrow. Hopefully that snow pushes out of the way. A potential problem
1:19:24 > 1:19:29in southern and western areas before it finally clears away. A few
1:19:29 > 1:19:34showers follow on behind but not as many. It will still feel cold. But
1:19:34 > 1:19:39the wind is still quite strong, so the chill is still there. But it
1:19:39 > 1:19:43does not really last beyond the weekend because we start to cut off
1:19:43 > 1:19:49what we have, that easterly wind coming right the way across the low
1:19:49 > 1:19:56countries of Europe. Snow for the Alpine regions as well. But we start
1:19:56 > 1:20:03to get a high coming in from the Atlantic instead. If you are heading
1:20:03 > 1:20:07out it will be much colder, especially in Central and southern
1:20:07 > 1:20:12areas compared to yesterday, and we are anticipating increasing issues
1:20:12 > 1:20:15with snow as we go through the latter part of the day tonight and
1:20:15 > 1:20:17tomorrow. See you later.
1:20:17 > 1:20:20See you later.
1:20:20 > 1:20:23Beer, green hats, shamrocks and celebratory shenanigans.
1:20:23 > 1:20:30It can only mean one thing - St Patricks day!
1:20:30 > 1:20:32I was not expecting the word shenanigans.
1:20:32 > 1:20:33I was not expecting the word shenanigans.
1:20:33 > 1:20:36And it's not just the Irish commemorating the Patron of Ireland,
1:20:36 > 1:20:39it's thought to be the most celebrated festival in the world.
1:20:39 > 1:20:41Over 250 iconic landmarks across the globe will be
1:20:41 > 1:20:42illuminated green this weekend.
1:20:42 > 1:20:50Let's have a look at what we can expect.
1:21:00 > 1:21:08IRISH MUSIC PLAYS.
1:21:36 > 1:21:38Who's started the party early?
1:21:38 > 1:21:40How are you celebrating?
1:21:40 > 1:21:44We want to see!
1:21:44 > 1:21:48Perhaps you are dressing up. Green is the obvious colour to adopt.
1:21:48 > 1:21:53Look at that. You didn't get that memo!
1:21:53 > 1:21:54You didn't get that memo!
1:21:54 > 1:22:02Send us your Paddy's Day pics to breakfast.tv@bbc.co.uk.
1:22:04 > 1:22:06I am still stuck on the word shenanigans.
1:22:06 > 1:22:09I am still stuck on the word shenanigans.
1:22:09 > 1:22:12With the impact of TV programmes like Blue Planet we are more aware
1:22:12 > 1:22:14of the need to recycle than ever before.
1:22:14 > 1:22:17But when it comes to what can and can't be recycled,
1:22:17 > 1:22:18there is a lot of confusion.
1:22:18 > 1:22:21That lack of clarity can result in entire bags of recycling
1:22:21 > 1:22:23being rejected and sent to landfill, according to research carried out
1:22:23 > 1:22:25by the British Science Association.
1:22:25 > 1:22:27Simon Ellin is the Head of the UK Recycling Association
1:22:27 > 1:22:30and joins us now.
1:22:30 > 1:22:38Good morning. We are going to go through some stuff today. People are
1:22:38 > 1:22:41to a degree slightly confused about what they can and cannot recycle.
1:22:46 > 1:22:52Give us the broad picture.There are so many different products out there
1:22:52 > 1:22:58that are badly designed, that are not labelled properly. We have 340
1:22:58 > 1:23:03plus different collection systems in the UK, so the public are confused.
1:23:03 > 1:23:07You are talking about the bins you have and what you can put in which
1:23:07 > 1:23:13bin?What goes where, absolutely, and getting the education and the
1:23:13 > 1:23:17marketing from the councils across to the public to say what you can
1:23:17 > 1:23:20and cannot recycle and how you do it. It is something we need to look
1:23:20 > 1:23:25at because it is a big problem. A lot of materials are getting wasted
1:23:25 > 1:23:31and cross contaminating other materials.What happens if something
1:23:31 > 1:23:37is cross contaminated? What is the impact? If you have a whole load of
1:23:37 > 1:23:42stuff that is recyclable and there is something that is not, what
1:23:42 > 1:23:49happens?It is a great question. Basically what happens is it
1:23:49 > 1:23:55contaminates the other things that is recyclable. 20% on average of
1:23:55 > 1:23:59what goes into our recycling bin at home is contamination. That
1:23:59 > 1:24:04contaminates everything else, so you get food leaking which contaminates
1:24:04 > 1:24:07paper and that means when it goes through the process and get out the
1:24:07 > 1:24:13other side the quality of the material is sometimes marginal
1:24:13 > 1:24:18whether you can take it on for recycling. Bad practice at the
1:24:18 > 1:24:24beginning produces bad practice at the end.Fancy a quiz?I hope so, I
1:24:24 > 1:24:29hope I get it right.These are questions of what can and cannot be
1:24:29 > 1:24:37recycled. Plastic bags, yes or no? Sometimes yes, sometimes no and that
1:24:37 > 1:24:45is part of the confusion.
1:24:45 > 1:24:52is part of the confusion. Aerosols? Yes. The whole can?The whole thing.
1:24:52 > 1:24:58Where do you put it? If you have got a separate collection for cans, if
1:24:58 > 1:25:05not, you put it in with everything else. It is a ferrous metal. There
1:25:05 > 1:25:11are plastic bits in it as well?That will be taken off in the process.
1:25:11 > 1:25:18Envelopes with Windows?
1:25:18 > 1:25:21Envelopes with Windows? With the windows on, but if you are like me
1:25:21 > 1:25:30and you take the window of, yes. Kitchen roll.
1:25:30 > 1:25:36The reason this is up is because of how kitchen roll is made, if it is
1:25:36 > 1:25:41coated or things like that. This is why we put this in.A lot of the
1:25:41 > 1:25:45time when you have used it it has got food contamination and it can
1:25:45 > 1:25:51have all sorts of germs and bacteria, so it is no.The person on
1:25:51 > 1:25:55the buzzer just slightly jumped the gun. Because of the food
1:25:55 > 1:26:04contamination. So can I ask, this year, say it is like a punnet full
1:26:04 > 1:26:11of strawberries and it has that thin plastic on top, which bit can be
1:26:11 > 1:26:20recycled?All of it.I have been told I cannot put a thin plastic in
1:26:20 > 1:26:25my recycling bin.This comes back to the 340 different collection
1:26:25 > 1:26:31systems. I can put plastic film in my cycling bin at home, but in other
1:26:31 > 1:26:36places you cannot. This is where we have to get down to consistency.
1:26:36 > 1:26:39Anything plastic, as long as it is a single polymer plastic can be
1:26:39 > 1:26:45recycled. It is a clear plastic punnet and it is infinitely
1:26:45 > 1:26:52recyclable.It should be washed before being recycle?Always watch
1:26:52 > 1:26:56it so the food and the liquid does not cross contaminate everything
1:26:56 > 1:27:04else.Then you are wasting water.Do it in your washing-up water.Does
1:27:04 > 1:27:10not get washed in the process when it is being recycle?Yes, but there
1:27:10 > 1:27:16is an element of cross contamination which leaks into the cardboard and
1:27:16 > 1:27:23everything else. Also as well it might not immediately get recycled.
1:27:23 > 1:27:27If that has had food in it for several days before it gets recycle,
1:27:27 > 1:27:33you get bacteria and mould and there is damage. This is where we need to
1:27:33 > 1:27:36get very simple rules add to the public so they know exactly what
1:27:36 > 1:27:44they can and cannot do.Thank you so much for coming in this morning.
1:27:44 > 1:27:46Thank you so much for coming in this morning.
1:27:46 > 1:27:48Dealing with the life changing effects of a traumatic event
1:27:48 > 1:27:50or tragedy can be incredibly tough.
1:27:50 > 1:27:55But for some, one way to cope is to write.
1:27:55 > 1:27:58Now a series of workshops across the UK - which are part
1:27:58 > 1:28:00of 'Get Creative', a national festival to encourage creativity -
1:28:00 > 1:28:06are helping people to use writing to deal with difficult feelings.
1:28:06 > 1:28:09David Sillito has been speaking to three people who have found hope
1:28:09 > 1:28:10from writing poetry.
1:28:10 > 1:28:17It helps me far more than a psychiatry I've had.
1:28:17 > 1:28:20So on those days of victory, proud David, you will see,
1:28:20 > 1:28:22but on those days I have no stones.
1:28:22 > 1:28:26You'll see the ghost of me.
1:28:26 > 1:28:30I'm Karl Tierney.
1:28:30 > 1:28:32I think there's a lot of residue in my brain from Bosnia.
1:28:32 > 1:28:36I feel like I'm David with slingshot and small stones.
1:28:36 > 1:28:38I fight the life daily.
1:28:38 > 1:28:41I fight his moans and groans.
1:28:41 > 1:28:46And it has unlocked or tapped into this area of my brain.
1:28:46 > 1:28:53The creativity can also bring me a sense of some sort of solace.
1:28:56 > 1:29:00Laboured breath, sweaty brow, not long left of this nightmare.
1:29:00 > 1:29:03Can I wake up now?
1:29:03 > 1:29:04My name is Nicky Tomasi.
1:29:04 > 1:29:06I'm the lucky one, they say.
1:29:06 > 1:29:10The one that got away.
1:29:10 > 1:29:12My son was at the Manchester Arena last year, and unfortunately
1:29:12 > 1:29:16lost his partner Martin there.
1:29:16 > 1:29:19So, consequently, I've been having counselling because of that,
1:29:19 > 1:29:24and my counsellor suggested that writing might be able to help me
1:29:24 > 1:29:26to get my feelings out.
1:29:26 > 1:29:29I don't feel lucky.
1:29:29 > 1:29:32I carry the aftermath in my head.
1:29:32 > 1:29:37Dread upon waking, and long nights full of vivid dreams.
1:29:37 > 1:29:48I know that I struggle with it all and it ten months,
1:29:48 > 1:29:49but it's definitely... all and it ten months,
1:29:49 > 1:29:53This, I would say, this is the first concrete thing that
1:29:53 > 1:29:55has really helped me, and I've got countless friends,
1:29:55 > 1:29:58I've got family I can talk to, but this is the first concrete thing
1:29:58 > 1:29:59that has really helped me.
1:29:59 > 1:30:03I'm Martin Figuero.
1:30:03 > 1:30:06I'm a writer and the reason I'm here is that my father
1:30:06 > 1:30:09killed my mother when I was nine.
1:30:09 > 1:30:14The family sits round the table ready for the meal which is me.
1:30:14 > 1:30:17So he was from Silesia, which is now in Poland,
1:30:17 > 1:30:21but had been in Germany, so when he was 14,
1:30:21 > 1:30:23joined the Hitler Youth.
1:30:23 > 1:30:25There was no choice in this.
1:30:25 > 1:30:28And then he was conscripted into the German army.
1:30:28 > 1:30:31It was almost like the Second World War 20 years on swept
1:30:31 > 1:30:35through our house one night, and he killed her.
1:30:35 > 1:30:39Uncle Philip as head of the family sharpens the knife.
1:30:39 > 1:30:40It seems stupid now.
1:30:40 > 1:30:44It's just metaphor.
1:30:44 > 1:30:47It was like metaphor, and in that metaphorical truth
1:30:47 > 1:30:51I learned more about myself and my experience than any recall
1:30:51 > 1:30:54of facts and laying down of facts, and that was a real
1:30:54 > 1:31:02breakthrough for me.
1:31:03 > 1:31:06There are more than a thousand creative events happening
1:31:06 > 1:31:10across the UK as part of the Get Creative Festival.
1:31:10 > 1:31:13To find out what's on near you head to the BBC Arts website
1:31:13 > 1:31:21for all the details.
1:31:21 > 1:31:25What's next for Brexit? The EU is holding a summit looking at what
1:31:25 > 1:31:29happens after Britain has left. But with wrangling on so many topics,
1:31:29 > 1:31:35can deal be done in just over a year? Join me at the EU leader's
1:31:35 > 1:31:39summit on Thursday and Friday year on the BBC News Channel.
1:31:39 > 1:31:41Hello.
1:31:41 > 1:31:43This is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
1:31:43 > 1:31:44Good Morning.
1:31:44 > 1:31:50Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
1:31:50 > 1:31:53The police have launched a murder investigation after two women were
1:31:53 > 1:31:59shot and killed at a house in east Sussex. Officers were called to an
1:31:59 > 1:32:03address in Saint Leonard's on Sea last night. A 35-year-old man has
1:32:03 > 1:32:08been arrested. The victims, aged 52 and 53, were known to be suspect.
1:32:08 > 1:32:13Police say they are not looking for anybody else in connection with the
1:32:13 > 1:32:17shooting. The UK ambassador in Russia has been summoned to a
1:32:17 > 1:32:22meeting at the Russian foreign ministry. It comes after the Kremlin
1:32:22 > 1:32:25indicated it would retaliate after the Prime Minister expelled 23
1:32:25 > 1:32:29Russian diplomats from the UK. It has now been almost a week since the
1:32:29 > 1:32:32nerve agent attack on former spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter in
1:32:32 > 1:32:41Salisbury. Yesterday's announcement of the exile in south London
1:32:41 > 1:32:44occurred. Police say these two incidents are not connected.
1:32:44 > 1:32:47The Met Office is issuing an amber warning for snow and ice in much
1:32:47 > 1:32:50of England and parts of Scotland, ahead of another cold snap.
1:32:50 > 1:32:52More than 100 flights to and from Heathrow have been
1:32:52 > 1:32:55cancelled ahead of predicted bad weather dubbed the mini
1:32:55 > 1:32:56beast from the east.
1:32:56 > 1:32:57Highways England is advising motorists to avoid
1:32:57 > 1:32:59trans-Pennine roads.
1:32:59 > 1:33:01The former deputy director of the FBI has been dramatically
1:33:01 > 1:33:04fired, just hours before he was due to formally retire.
1:33:04 > 1:33:08Andrew McCabe said his sacking had been politically motivated,
1:33:08 > 1:33:12and claimed it was part of a wider effort to taint the FBI.
1:33:12 > 1:33:17President Trump tweeted it had been a "great day for democracy".
1:33:17 > 1:33:25The number of hospital admissions due to older people falling
1:33:25 > 1:33:29is expected to rise to nearly 1,000 a day by the end of the decade.
1:33:29 > 1:33:32That's according to figures obtained by the Local Government Association.
1:33:32 > 1:33:36It's prompted calls for more funding for adult social care.
1:33:36 > 1:33:44It might have been panned by some critics but Hugh Jackman's
1:33:44 > 1:33:46critics but Hugh Jackman's musical The Greatest Showman continues to
1:33:46 > 1:33:50dominate the music charts, sitting at the top of the UK charts for ten
1:33:50 > 1:33:57weeks.
1:33:57 > 1:34:08weeks. The film is loosely based on the life of circus impresario PT
1:34:08 > 1:34:14Barnum, the greatest showman. Adele's 21 managed 21 weeks on the
1:34:14 > 1:34:19top spot. Is it true that if we keep the music going, you can sing along?
1:34:19 > 1:34:24You know all the words. I tell you what, my eight-year-old son Evan
1:34:24 > 1:34:27does. He is learning it in music and primary school at the moment. So you
1:34:27 > 1:34:32have heard it a lot? I have heard it a lot. You can probably do bee
1:34:32 > 1:34:40numbers for us. OK, if we raise enough money in Sport Belief. Be
1:34:40 > 1:34:43careful! Really looking forward to the rugby, changing the subject
1:34:43 > 1:34:45quickly.
1:34:45 > 1:34:47So, can Ireland complete the Grand Slam today?
1:34:47 > 1:34:50They'll have to do it at Twickenham, where England haven't lost
1:34:50 > 1:34:51a match under Eddie Jones.
1:34:51 > 1:34:54Let's ask our sports correspondent Ollie Foster, who's there for us.
1:34:54 > 1:35:02Who's the smart money on, Olly?
1:35:02 > 1:35:08It is so tactical. This is where it all starts for Ireland. A fantastic
1:35:08 > 1:35:13afternoon of rugby head. The final round of matches. A triple bill.
1:35:13 > 1:35:17Sandwiched in the middle is this match at Twickenham. I'm outside the
1:35:17 > 1:35:21island dressing room. They can't miss it, can they? The England team
1:35:21 > 1:35:24will be in here. The England dressing room is much bigger. Can't
1:35:24 > 1:35:29get in. It is locked. The two sets of players will be coming down here.
1:35:29 > 1:35:34England- Eddie Jones has made all of the changes. Seven personal changes,
1:35:34 > 1:35:39ten changes in all. Ireland just the one change. Ireland have been
1:35:39 > 1:35:43getting stronger and stronger, and England have seemed to have gone
1:35:43 > 1:35:47backwards. They lost that incredible match against Scotland, they lost
1:35:47 > 1:35:52against the French. Imagine they roar when they come out of year.
1:35:52 > 1:35:5780,000. Could not get a ticket for love nor money. But very, very
1:35:57 > 1:36:02expensive to get a ticket. And there it is. That is what it is all about
1:36:02 > 1:36:05for Ireland. They won this last week after they beat Scotland in Dublin.
1:36:05 > 1:36:12Muted celebrations because they knew that this was what it was all about.
1:36:12 > 1:36:15The grand slam. Very rarely done in the last seven years. England
1:36:15 > 1:36:19obviously did it the year before last and that it was Ireland to
1:36:19 > 1:36:25scupper their chances last season in Dublin, so it is kind of a reverse.
1:36:25 > 1:36:28On the flip, England, the best they can hope for a second and trying to
1:36:28 > 1:36:32upset Ireland and their hopes for the grand slam. You look at the
1:36:32 > 1:36:36names year. You have England, England, so on for a hat-trick. You
1:36:36 > 1:36:42have Ireland in 2014 and 2015. You go back to 2009. That is when
1:36:42 > 1:36:47Ireland last grand slam. And you would have to go back 61 years
1:36:47 > 1:36:50before the previous time that they did that. So that is what it is all
1:36:50 > 1:36:54about. Ireland will have this trophy, but it is all about the
1:36:54 > 1:36:57grand slam. We have got Italy against Scotland before that, and
1:36:57 > 1:37:02then it all rounds up from half past four on BBC we have Wales against
1:37:02 > 1:37:08France. So it is going to be a great afternoon of rugby. Thank you so
1:37:08 > 1:37:11much. Windy there at Twickenham today.
1:37:11 > 1:37:13England's women ended their Six Nations with victory over Ireland -
1:37:13 > 1:37:15but they finished runners up to France.
1:37:15 > 1:37:18England won by 33 points to 11 at the Ricoh Arena -
1:37:18 > 1:37:21Danielle Waterman becoming the nation's leading
1:37:21 > 1:37:27try-scorer with 47 - she's now just two tries short
1:37:27 > 1:37:29of Rory Underwood's overall England record.
1:37:29 > 1:37:31France took the title with victory over Wales.
1:37:31 > 1:37:33Great Britain are still short of their medals target,
1:37:33 > 1:37:35on the penultimate day of competition at the Winter
1:37:35 > 1:37:38Paralympics in South Korea.
1:37:38 > 1:37:41Let's go over to Pyeongchang now and our reporter Kate Grey can
1:37:41 > 1:37:48bring us up to date.
1:37:48 > 1:37:53Yes, that's right. It has been a very quiet day for British athletes.
1:37:53 > 1:37:57Just two athletes in action. We will start at the Alpine skiing. James
1:37:57 > 1:38:00Whitley was going in his big event of these games. He has finished
1:38:00 > 1:38:03outside of the medals in all of those events so far. This time, he
1:38:03 > 1:38:07was going in the slalom, which is his preferred event on what was a
1:38:07 > 1:38:12very tricky course, very icy, very widely, and also a very tough
1:38:12 > 1:38:17category. He ended up
1:38:18 > 1:38:20category. He ended up finishing in ten, which is one of his best
1:38:20 > 1:38:22performances here at these games and is an improvement from his
1:38:22 > 1:38:25performances back in Sochi four years ago. He is still a long way
1:38:25 > 1:38:29off from the medals and will look to improve on that. There is British
1:38:29 > 1:38:33interest in the Nordic skiing. It was cross country today. The seven
1:38:33 > 1:38:36and a half kilometre distance for Scott Mina, who was going in his
1:38:36 > 1:38:40sixth event of these games. He has had a very busy programme. He only
1:38:40 > 1:38:44got into Nordic skiing about 18 months ago, and today he finished
1:38:44 > 1:38:5214th, so our way back from the medallists, but still a great
1:38:52 > 1:38:55performance from the British athlete and he will look to aim for Beijing
1:38:55 > 1:38:582022 after these games. Still a lot to do for Great Britain as they move
1:38:58 > 1:39:00into the last day with all eyes on the visually impaired Alpine skiers.
1:39:00 > 1:39:03Thank you. It looked warmer there than it did at Twickenham.
1:39:03 > 1:39:05If you thought you'd seen it all where Jose Mourinho's concerned,
1:39:05 > 1:39:08well, you were wrong.
1:39:08 > 1:39:12He gave a 12 minute answer at his press conference yesterday,
1:39:12 > 1:39:13uninterrupted, defending Manchester United's
1:39:13 > 1:39:14shock exit to Sevilla in
1:39:14 > 1:39:15the Champions League.
1:39:15 > 1:39:17Here's just a snippet of his rant.
1:39:17 > 1:39:21I'm not going to cry because I heard a few boos.
1:39:21 > 1:39:24I'm not going to disappear.
1:39:24 > 1:39:29When I was 20 years old I was nobody in football.
1:39:29 > 1:39:33And now at 55 I am what I am and I did what I did because of work,
1:39:33 > 1:39:36because of my talent and my mentality.
1:39:36 > 1:39:41I could be in another country with the league in my pocket,
1:39:41 > 1:39:44the kind of league that you win even before the league starts.
1:39:44 > 1:39:45I could be.
1:39:45 > 1:39:47I am not, I am here.
1:39:47 > 1:39:49It was a frustrating evening for Hibernian as they missed
1:39:49 > 1:39:52the chance to go third in the Scottish Premiership.
1:39:52 > 1:39:54Hibs went ahead in the second minute, had their keeper
1:39:54 > 1:39:57sent off not long after, and held out until the final
1:39:57 > 1:40:04stages when Chris Kane equalised for St Johnstone.
1:40:04 > 1:40:07The Cheltenham Gold Cup is one of the biggest racing
1:40:07 > 1:40:09events of the year - and we got a contest
1:40:09 > 1:40:10which lived up to that billing.
1:40:10 > 1:40:13It was, literally, a two horse race with Native River holding off
1:40:13 > 1:40:15the favourite Might Bite.
1:40:15 > 1:40:18That gave jockey Richard Johnson his second Gold Cup triump -
1:40:18 > 1:40:26and a first for trainer Colin Tizzard.
1:40:27 > 1:40:29It was the champions of Super League against the leaders
1:40:29 > 1:40:31Leeds Rhinos, won.
1:40:31 > 1:40:33of Super League last night, and the champions,
1:40:33 > 1:40:34Leeds Rhinos, won.
1:40:34 > 1:40:37They ended St Helens unbeaten run since the start of the season thanks
1:40:37 > 1:40:38to a strong second half performance.
1:40:38 > 1:40:40Ash Handley scored two of the Rhinos' five tries.
1:40:40 > 1:40:42Elsewhere Salford beat Hull FC.
1:40:42 > 1:40:45Some tennis news for you and Venus Williams has been knocked
1:40:45 > 1:40:48out in the semi-finals at Indian Wells and so has world
1:40:48 > 1:40:51number one Simona Halep.
1:40:51 > 1:40:53Williams lost to Russia's Daria Kasatkina, who's beaten four
1:40:53 > 1:40:56Grand Slam champions on her way to the final where she'll meet
1:40:56 > 1:41:03Naomi Osaka of Japan.
1:41:03 > 1:41:10Now to the second of our Commonwealth Games previews.
1:41:10 > 1:41:12Last week we saw the youngest athlete, Wales' 11-year-old
1:41:12 > 1:41:13table tennis player.
1:41:13 > 1:41:16This week Mike has been to train with one of the oldest.
1:41:16 > 1:41:1967-year-old David Calvert is heading to his 11th Games to compete
1:41:19 > 1:41:25in the highest calibre shooting event, full bore rifle.
1:41:25 > 1:41:28Before he left, Mike went to train with David and his partner in Surrey
1:41:28 > 1:41:36although it was more like Siberia.
1:41:46 > 1:41:48He is arguably the best in the world.
1:41:48 > 1:41:52You're aiming at a target which could be 900 metres away.
1:41:52 > 1:41:56A little black dot on the horizon, a bull's-eye the size of a dinner
1:41:56 > 1:42:01plate, and yet in conditions more akin to Siberia, one David Calvert,
1:42:01 > 1:42:04now in his 60s and going to his 11th Commonwealth Games, will hit 99%
1:42:04 > 1:42:09of the time.
1:42:09 > 1:42:12It is a sport that you can start in your teens and continue well past
1:42:12 > 1:42:14normal retirement age, you can compete and be
1:42:14 > 1:42:18competitive for decades.
1:42:18 > 1:42:22It is the challenge of the wind effect and also the skills
1:42:22 > 1:42:27of firing a good shot.
1:42:27 > 1:42:31There is a crack, you see the splash of the sound,
1:42:31 > 1:42:39can you feel the buzz in the target, you pull it down, it
1:42:41 > 1:42:42is good for your stomach muscles.
1:42:42 > 1:42:45Give it another push, and at this point there would be
1:42:45 > 1:42:46another hole in the target.
1:42:46 > 1:42:48The maximum possible score in the individual Commonwealth Games
1:42:48 > 1:42:51event is 405 points.
1:42:51 > 1:42:53David scored 404 to set the record.
1:42:53 > 1:42:58Wow.
1:42:58 > 1:43:02David is used to being carried to the podium, as is the tradition
1:43:02 > 1:43:05in fullbore rifle shooting, having won four Commonwealth
1:43:05 > 1:43:09golds for his native Northern Ireland and four bronze.
1:43:09 > 1:43:11It is regarded as a blue-ribbon event by quite a few
1:43:11 > 1:43:14in the sport of shooting, partly because of the heritage.
1:43:14 > 1:43:17This is where it all started back in 1860, with the award
1:43:17 > 1:43:20of the Queen's prize by Queen Victoria.
1:43:20 > 1:43:23Never been that comfortable around large bangs, but what worried me
1:43:23 > 1:43:26most as I was invited to take a shot in this high-calibre sport
1:43:26 > 1:43:32is how far the bullet can travel in that wind.
1:43:32 > 1:43:37Fresh winds today would blow the bullet by ten feet.
1:43:37 > 1:43:41It is why in pairs you rely on your partner to help
1:43:41 > 1:43:42you line up your shot.
1:43:42 > 1:43:44Line up the sights...
1:43:44 > 1:43:46Take your time.
1:43:46 > 1:43:50It is all about mental strength under pressure.
1:43:50 > 1:43:57Ready when you are.
1:43:57 > 1:44:01Just squeeze gently.
1:44:01 > 1:44:04You do feel a slight thud, once it is pushing to your shoulder,
1:44:04 > 1:44:06the whole body takes it.
1:44:06 > 1:44:11The shot that is showing is a simple bull's-eye.
1:44:11 > 1:44:13I would stop while you are ahead.
1:44:13 > 1:44:15I will leave it there, to 25-year-old Jack Alexander
1:44:15 > 1:44:23to partner David at the Commonwealth Games.
1:44:29 > 1:44:32It's a privilege to shoot alongside David, and are not many people
1:44:32 > 1:44:36in the game who would be at the top of their game for as long as David
1:44:36 > 1:44:39had, he is passing on his knowledge and enjoys me doing well as well.
1:44:39 > 1:44:47All that Jack and David are aiming for now is a Commonwealth golds.
1:44:51 > 1:44:56What an incredibly slow hand you have to have to do that. Certainly
1:44:56 > 1:45:06won't have a drip on his nose out there unless it is wet.
1:45:06 > 1:45:10I very much doubt that anyone will be getting a sweat on this weekend,
1:45:10 > 1:45:15because it is going to be called. That is an understatement.
1:45:15 > 1:45:17because it is going to be called. That is an understatement.
1:45:17 > 1:45:21It will be a real shock to the system. The easterly wind is back
1:45:21 > 1:45:26and with it the issues of snow and ice. The Met office amber warning
1:45:26 > 1:45:28has come into force from mid-afternoon. We already have snow
1:45:28 > 1:45:33and ice because we have shifted from the Atlantic south-westerly is to
1:45:33 > 1:45:36the Siberian easterlies. The high pressure too far away to cut off
1:45:36 > 1:45:39that flowing to stop the snow showers, so they will start to come
1:45:39 > 1:45:43in big and fast. This is the band of rain, sleet and snow that we have
1:45:43 > 1:45:47sinking southwards, so some centimetres in parts of Sussex. It
1:45:47 > 1:45:53will turn to sleet and snow and then Peter out. We are expecting to see
1:45:53 > 1:45:57more significant amounts of snow in the shower is behind it. This will
1:45:57 > 1:46:01cause things to be a little on the slippery side. These are daytime
1:46:01 > 1:46:06temperatures. Remember we had 14 Celsius yesterday. What a shock. 10
1:46:06 > 1:46:11degrees down. And then we have a gale force winds which is buffeting
1:46:11 > 1:46:14parts of Wales and Cumbria. This strength of wind you get what is
1:46:14 > 1:46:18cold rotors streaming which are very gusty winds to the west of
1:46:18 > 1:46:22mountains. Let's concentrate on the snow and ice. The showers will be
1:46:22 > 1:46:25focused across parts of northern England and the Midlands and perhaps
1:46:25 > 1:46:29the east of Wales. Also across the south-east of England and into
1:46:29 > 1:46:34Essex. Trundling down the Thames Valley. And then tonight as well as
1:46:34 > 1:46:37that we could have a more significant spell of snow across
1:46:37 > 1:46:39southern England and South Wales. Let's take a look at how it is
1:46:39 > 1:46:44looking through the latter part of today. There we are with that strong
1:46:44 > 1:46:47near gale force easterly wind blowing snow showers across the
1:46:47 > 1:46:51country, across other areas as well. Not everywhere will see them but
1:46:51 > 1:46:56they will start to pile up. This is the more significant area of snow.
1:46:56 > 1:46:59We still have some uncertainty on how much we will see, but several
1:46:59 > 1:47:02centimetres will cause disruption and it will stick because
1:47:02 > 1:47:06temperatures are below freezing. It will be a hard, penetrating frost
1:47:06 > 1:47:09tonight because of the strength of that wind on a great Saint Patrick's
1:47:09 > 1:47:13a evening. Bitterly cold. And then as we go through tomorrow, that snow
1:47:13 > 1:47:17is still with us. We think there will be some snow showers following
1:47:17 > 1:47:20on behind and it will be very cold indeed. We could have significant
1:47:20 > 1:47:24problems, as you can appreciate, with several hours of snow falling
1:47:24 > 1:47:29in some southern parts of the country. Sunshine in Belfast, but
1:47:29 > 1:47:35for most of us are very cold day. Perhaps not quite as harsh as today
1:47:35 > 1:47:40adding on the wind-chill. Does it last? No. It looks as though that
1:47:40 > 1:47:43easterly wind will be cut off. High-pressure drifts into the
1:47:43 > 1:47:47Atlantic and we will see the northerly winds instead coming from
1:47:47 > 1:47:51not a particularly one direction but at least it cuts off that really
1:47:51 > 1:47:53icy, cold Siberian error that we have got at the moment that brings
1:47:53 > 1:47:57the risk of ice and snow. Bitterly cold at the moment in contrast to
1:47:57 > 1:48:02last week and a real issue we think with snow. As you saw, those amber
1:48:02 > 1:48:05warnings. For the north-east of England and south-east England and
1:48:05 > 1:48:10then later on tonight in southern areas of England and Wales, I'm
1:48:10 > 1:48:16afraid it's not great news, is it? Oh, dear. You're just the deliverer
1:48:16 > 1:48:21of the news. You are not making it. Thank you. See you later.
1:48:21 > 1:48:23We'll be back with the headlines at 8.
1:48:23 > 1:48:27Now it's for Newswatch with Samira Amhed.
1:48:27 > 1:48:33Hello and welcome to Newswatch.
1:48:33 > 1:48:36Was the BBC too slow to report on claims that up to 1000 children
1:48:36 > 1:48:39in Telford may have been victims of abuse by grooming gangs
1:48:39 > 1:48:47of mainly Pakistani heritage?
1:48:48 > 1:48:54And as calls are made for the Kremlin-backed TV station
1:48:54 > 1:48:57Russia Today to be taken off the air in Britain, should question
1:48:57 > 1:49:00Time have chosen one of its presenters as a guest?
1:49:00 > 1:49:03First, the nerve agent attack on Sergei Skripal and his daughter
1:49:03 > 1:49:05Yulia continued to dominate the news agenda this week, raising many
1:49:05 > 1:49:06questions for BBC News.
1:49:06 > 1:49:09One was the extent to which Theresa May's unequivocal
1:49:09 > 1:49:13statement that Russia was culpable for the attack should be taken
1:49:13 > 1:49:16on trust or challenged.
1:49:16 > 1:49:19Some members of the audience felt the BBC had erred too much
1:49:19 > 1:49:27in the former direction, with Derek Coulson writing:
1:49:33 > 1:49:40And George Skinner agreed:
1:49:40 > 1:49:45The Prime Minister announced on Wednesday a
1:49:45 > 1:49:46number of measures to be taken against Russia,
1:49:46 > 1:49:54but not one that had
1:49:56 > 1:50:02been widely mooted - taking the television
1:50:02 > 1:50:04station Russia Today
1:50:04 > 1:50:06off the air in the UK.
1:50:06 > 1:50:09The broadcaster is widely regarded as a mouthpiece
1:50:09 > 1:50:12for the Kremlin which made the choice of one of the panellists
1:50:12 > 1:50:13on BBC One's Question Time a surprise
1:50:13 > 1:50:16to some people.
1:50:16 > 1:50:18A broadcaster with the Russian funded TV channel RTE
1:50:18 > 1:50:21and presenter of a weekly current affairs programme on that channel,
1:50:21 > 1:50:22Afshin Ratanzi.
1:50:22 > 1:50:26That guest booking was already causing concern before
1:50:26 > 1:50:34the programme went out on Thursday with Matthew Hilbert, tweeting:
1:50:43 > 1:50:51It is not the first time journalists from
1:50:52 > 1:50:54Russia Today have appeared on BBC News and we asked
1:50:54 > 1:50:56the BBC whether it was
1:50:56 > 1:50:57appropriate for them to do so?
1:50:57 > 1:51:05They told us:
1:51:10 > 1:51:15The Russian theme continued that evening as Newsnight
1:51:15 > 1:51:18on BBC Two ran an item which irked some viewers not so much for its
1:51:18 > 1:51:25content but more for the studio background.
1:51:25 > 1:51:28Did Jeremy Corbyn misread the mood of his party in the
1:51:28 > 1:51:31Commons yesterday when he refused to point the finger at Russia?
1:51:31 > 1:51:33Last night, a group of Labour backbenchers
1:51:33 > 1:51:35said it unequivocally, that they accept the Russian state's
1:51:35 > 1:51:40culpability for the spy poisoning.
1:51:40 > 1:51:42Some people felt the photograph of Jeremy Corbyn in
1:51:42 > 1:51:43a Russian-style hat,
1:51:43 > 1:51:45surrounded by a red picture of the Kremlin
1:51:45 > 1:51:47portrayed the Labour leader as a collaborator with Moscow.
1:51:47 > 1:51:49Susan was one of them and recorded
1:51:49 > 1:51:50this video for us.
1:51:50 > 1:51:52I felt compelled to contact you regarding the
1:51:52 > 1:51:54Newsnight programme last night and the portrayal
1:51:54 > 1:51:58of Jeremy Corbyn in
1:51:58 > 1:52:02some kind of a Russian hat next to a portrayal of the Kremlin.
1:52:02 > 1:52:06I feel that this is a very biased depiction
1:52:06 > 1:52:11of the man and those more gullible in society will absolutely associate
1:52:11 > 1:52:16Jeremy Corbyn with Russia and Russians.
1:52:16 > 1:52:19I am only interested in justice and honesty and I don't see
1:52:19 > 1:52:20any of that here.
1:52:20 > 1:52:28Very disappointed.
1:52:29 > 1:52:34Last weekend, the Sunday Mirror said it had uncovered Britain's worst
1:52:34 > 1:52:37ever child grooming scandal with claims that up to 1,000 girls
1:52:37 > 1:52:40had been abused since the 1980s.
1:52:40 > 1:52:41Over the next two days, other newspapers
1:52:41 > 1:52:43followed that up extensively, but there were only limited
1:52:43 > 1:52:49mentions on BBC News.
1:52:49 > 1:52:52Scores of people wondered why, with one of them, David, leaving
1:52:52 > 1:52:53as this phone message on Tuesday morning.
1:52:53 > 1:52:56Hi, I woke up this morning to the horrific stories about the
1:52:56 > 1:52:59child abuse in Telford, so I thought I would
1:52:59 > 1:53:01go on to the BBC app which I
1:53:01 > 1:53:05use regularly and lo and behold there was nothing about it.
1:53:05 > 1:53:09On your top five stories on the website
1:53:09 > 1:53:12there's one about pork pies and one about the dangers of Chinese
1:53:12 > 1:53:13takeaways.
1:53:13 > 1:53:15Are you going to cover this scandal?
1:53:15 > 1:53:19The BBC was accused in the press of ignoring the story and
1:53:19 > 1:53:27Adam agreed, writing:
1:53:41 > 1:53:44On Tuesday, the Victoria Derbyshire show
1:53:44 > 1:53:49interviewed a victim of child exploitation in
1:53:49 > 1:53:51Telford, but it was not until Wednesday the BBC bulletins ran a
1:53:51 > 1:53:55report on the subject.
1:53:55 > 1:53:59Night-time in Telford.
1:53:59 > 1:54:02Recent reports say up to 1,000 girls could have been sexually
1:54:02 > 1:54:10abused in the town over the last four decades.
1:54:11 > 1:54:13The police here say at the moment they are dealing with
1:54:13 > 1:54:14less than 50 cases.
1:54:14 > 1:54:17For many the BBC's reaction was too little, too
1:54:17 > 1:54:18late.
1:54:18 > 1:54:26Trevor Bell thought:
1:54:30 > 1:54:32Let's put that to James Stevenson, the BBC's
1:54:32 > 1:54:37News editor, who joins me now.
1:54:37 > 1:54:39Can we start with the story broke in the
1:54:39 > 1:54:42Sunday Mirror, when did the BBC national News think it worth
1:54:42 > 1:54:43reporting?
1:54:43 > 1:54:46So immediately we could see it was a good and strong piece
1:54:46 > 1:54:50of journalism by the Sunday Mirror and it was widely covered in our
1:54:50 > 1:54:54paper review and prominently on Sunday and we saw it was a story
1:54:54 > 1:54:58that we needed to follow up and we began to do that.
1:54:58 > 1:55:00So as early as Monday morning, the Victoria
1:55:00 > 1:55:02Derbyshire programme was leading its output
1:55:02 > 1:55:10on the story and later that
1:55:11 > 1:55:14day the World at One interviewed the leader of Telford Council to
1:55:14 > 1:55:15challenge him about what was going on.
1:55:15 > 1:55:19We quickly saw it was a story that needed to be covered and it
1:55:19 > 1:55:22needed our original reporting effort to follow up and that's what we
1:55:22 > 1:55:24did.
1:55:24 > 1:55:28We heard from a viewer who said he used the news app and was
1:55:28 > 1:55:31wondering when did the story appeared on the front page on the
1:55:31 > 1:55:32website?
1:55:32 > 1:55:35So there was a story on the website on Monday and that was on
1:55:35 > 1:55:36the England index.
1:55:36 > 1:55:38There are various developments in the story as the
1:55:38 > 1:55:42week has gone on, and I am sure you have seen and the viewers have seen
1:55:42 > 1:55:44how the story has developed, so the initial suggestion
1:55:44 > 1:55:47was possibly 1,000 victims and that was based not on
1:55:47 > 1:55:50hard information but on an extrapolation based on work with an
1:55:50 > 1:55:58academic.
1:55:59 > 1:56:04So we pursued it and we weighted the story and we looked at it
1:56:04 > 1:56:07in depth and it is worth saying, to address your point directly,
1:56:07 > 1:56:09that we are in the middle of this huge spy
1:56:09 > 1:56:12drama and scandal and poisoning scandal in Salisbury and that has
1:56:12 > 1:56:15consumed a huge amount of our airtime, as has the death of Ken
1:56:15 > 1:56:20Dodd and later in the week Stephen Hawking, so even in a busy news
1:56:20 > 1:56:22period this has been an exceptionally busy news week and we
1:56:22 > 1:56:26have tried to cover the Telford story in the mix amongst all the
1:56:26 > 1:56:29other things that we have been doing.
1:56:29 > 1:56:32I suppose audiences would say in a busy news week this is a really
1:56:32 > 1:56:33important news story.
1:56:33 > 1:56:36That is certainly true and I would like to
1:56:36 > 1:56:43challenge an idea that I think viewers might be left with by the
1:56:43 > 1:56:44sequence they have just seen.
1:56:44 > 1:56:46This is a scandal that has been unfolding in
1:56:46 > 1:56:50Telford over many years and we have been covering it in great depth and
1:56:50 > 1:56:54with great prominence during that time.
1:56:54 > 1:56:57So the operation Chalice brought to light the scale of abuse
1:56:57 > 1:56:58in Telford.
1:56:58 > 1:57:00Then there was a criminal prosecution which saw seven
1:57:00 > 1:57:04men being sent to prison a few years ago.
1:57:04 > 1:57:07So we have consistently been reporting this story as it has gone
1:57:07 > 1:57:14along and we have done so again this week.
1:57:14 > 1:57:18The TV bulletins are where millions of people are expected to
1:57:18 > 1:57:21be told what the big important stories are and it was not until
1:57:21 > 1:57:23Wednesday, three days later, that there was an actual
1:57:23 > 1:57:25report about Telford on the national bulletins.
1:57:25 > 1:57:26Why?
1:57:26 > 1:57:29It was covered in brief on the news at ten on Tuesday night.
1:57:29 > 1:57:31As I have explained, we have a very busy
1:57:31 > 1:57:34news period and there are a limited number of stories we can cover.
1:57:34 > 1:57:37The reason it became a network TV bulletin
1:57:37 > 1:57:39story on Wednesday was
1:57:39 > 1:57:42because partly because of our journalism.
1:57:42 > 1:57:47We interviewed the police in Telford, we interviewed a
1:57:47 > 1:57:50social worker in Telford, it was raised at Prime Minister's Question
1:57:50 > 1:57:53Time and the Prime Minister reacted to it.
1:57:53 > 1:57:56Even in this busy period, that obviously deserved the attention it
1:57:56 > 1:57:58got on the main TV bulletins that day.
1:57:58 > 1:58:02You will know what BBC viewers are saying and we have had hundreds
1:58:02 > 1:58:05of complaints into the BBC.
1:58:05 > 1:58:09It said it looks like the BBC felt awkward
1:58:09 > 1:58:13giving the story prominence because it was about white victims and
1:58:13 > 1:58:16Pakistani heritage abusers.
1:58:16 > 1:58:18I know that is a view that some people
1:58:18 > 1:58:24hold, I really don't think it is the case.
1:58:24 > 1:58:31The BBC has just won a Royal television Society award.
1:58:31 > 1:58:35We have done a great deal of coverage on this area of abuse and
1:58:35 > 1:58:38this terrible story in Telford also elsewhere in the country.
1:58:38 > 1:58:42The BBC has just won a Royal television
1:58:42 > 1:58:45Society award for the excellent documentary about abuse in the North
1:58:45 > 1:58:47East of England based around Newcastle.
1:58:47 > 1:58:51That was second story on the TV news three weeks ago, so we
1:58:51 > 1:58:57have done a great deal of work.
1:58:57 > 1:59:00On Rotherham where a lot of this stuff,
1:59:00 > 1:59:02this terrible situation came more fully to light for example.
1:59:02 > 1:59:04So we have certainly committed to covering
1:59:04 > 1:59:07what is a harrowing and terrible story and we have done it
1:59:07 > 1:59:10consistently over time.
1:59:10 > 1:59:14You will know that coverage of previous
1:59:14 > 1:59:17grooming scandals with this racial element,
1:59:17 > 1:59:20viewers every time feel the
1:59:20 > 1:59:21BBC runs shy of reporting these stories prominently.
1:59:21 > 1:59:24Do you think the BBC needs to rethink how it runs
1:59:24 > 1:59:32and reports on these stories?
1:59:32 > 1:59:36No, I think we are doing the right thing
1:59:36 > 1:59:39and I think we are very determined to get to these terrible and dark
1:59:39 > 1:59:42and difficult stories, not just this one but across the whole range.
1:59:42 > 1:59:44What I do think is true to say is that
1:59:44 > 1:59:47before the full nature and scale of what was
1:59:47 > 1:59:48going on in Rotherham and
1:59:48 > 1:59:51Rochdale and Oxford and other places came out,
1:59:51 > 1:59:55there was not as great an
1:59:55 > 2:00:00understanding of how profound problem and how deep this ran and if
2:00:00 > 2:00:02you go back a decade, I think you can definitely say
2:00:02 > 2:00:05that the story with the issue did not get the
2:00:05 > 2:00:07attention it probably deserved at that point and that is something
2:00:07 > 2:00:09everyone has had to reflect on.
2:00:09 > 2:00:10James Stevenson, thank you.
2:00:10 > 2:00:15Thank you for all your comments this week.
2:00:15 > 2:00:19If you want to share your opinions on BBC
2:00:19 > 2:00:21News and current affairs or
2:00:21 > 2:00:23appear on the programme, call us on this number:
2:00:23 > 2:00:24And you can find us on
2:00:24 > 2:00:26twitter.
2:00:26 > 2:00:34Do have a look at the website.
2:00:38 > 2:00:44The UK ambassadors summoned to a meeting in
2:00:48 > 2:00:50meeting in Moscow and other Russian exiles are being contacted to
2:00:50 > 2:00:56discuss their safety in Britain.
2:01:02 > 2:01:04Good morning, it's Saturday the 17th of March.
2:01:04 > 2:01:05Also this morning:
2:01:05 > 2:01:08Police launch a murder investigation after two women are shot dead
2:01:08 > 2:01:15at a house in East Sussex.
2:01:15 > 2:01:17100 flights are cancelled and drivers are told to expect
2:01:17 > 2:01:22disruption as the "mini beast from the east" sweeps in.
2:01:22 > 2:01:26Good morning. It will be a shock to the system for many others today as
2:01:26 > 2:01:31the Siberian air is returning, bringing issues with ice and snow.
2:01:31 > 2:01:33There are numerous warnings out, including amber warnings from the
2:01:33 > 2:01:36Met office and I will tell you more about those in around about a
2:01:36 > 2:01:44quarter of an hour. It is a chilly morning here at Twickenham and it
2:01:44 > 2:01:50will heat up later on. The final round of matches in the six Nations
2:01:50 > 2:01:59championship. Ireland could win the grand slam if they beat England.
2:01:59 > 2:02:02The UK ambassador to Russia has been summoned to a meeting at the Foreign
2:02:02 > 2:02:05Minister in Moscow. It comes after the Kremlin indicated it would
2:02:05 > 2:02:09retaliate after the Prime Minister expelled 23 Russian diplomats from
2:02:09 > 2:02:13the UK.It also comes a fortnight after the nerve agent attack on
2:02:13 > 2:02:20former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daughter. Let's talk to
2:02:20 > 2:02:22Richard Galpin, who is in Moscow for us. We understand that the
2:02:22 > 2:02:33ambassador has arrived at this meeting.
2:02:34 > 2:02:38Yes, he's going into this meeting with senior Russian officials in
2:02:38 > 2:02:54Moscow. We know that surrogate lover of Sergei Lavrov will be here. We
2:02:54 > 2:02:57also don't know whether there might be other measures. Of course, this
2:02:57 > 2:03:02is an assumption. Vladimir Putin, the Russian president, has the final
2:03:02 > 2:03:06say on what exactly is going to happen, and we have known him to
2:03:06 > 2:03:10pull some surprises in the past. Certainly the expectation, as I say,
2:03:10 > 2:03:15is that there will be expulsions of British diplomats and spies. Indeed,
2:03:15 > 2:03:21all of this happening with the backdrop of the elections. Yes. That
2:03:21 > 2:03:24is right. Although the elections, I don't think it is really feeding
2:03:24 > 2:03:31into the elections, the whole issue of Sergei Skripal. I think it is
2:03:31 > 2:03:35maybe the decision to go ahead with this, whatever they will come out
2:03:35 > 2:03:42with today could help Vladimir Putin in some respects. If it is a tough
2:03:42 > 2:03:44response with strong retaliatory measures, then that does feed into
2:03:44 > 2:03:50the whole narrative that Mr Putin likes in this sense of being the
2:03:50 > 2:03:54strong man, the person who is standing up Russia against a very
2:03:54 > 2:03:58aggressive Western powers who are trying to mash and eight and box in
2:03:58 > 2:04:05Russia. Thanks very much.
2:04:06 > 2:04:08Police investigating the murder of a Russian man in London say
2:04:08 > 2:04:11they have begun contacting other Russian exiles in Britain
2:04:11 > 2:04:12to discuss their safety.

2:04:26 > 2:04:2868-year-old Nikolai Glushkov, found dead at his home on this
2:04:28 > 2:04:30unassuming road in Southwest London on Monday.
2:04:30 > 2:04:32But Mr Glushkov's life was anything but ordinary.
2:04:32 > 2:04:34A post mortem has revealed he was murdered, killed

2:05:04 > 2:05:05He was friends with Russian businessmen Boris Berezovsky
2:05:05 > 2:05:07who was found dead in 2013.
2:05:07 > 2:05:09An open verdict was recorded but Mr Glushkov believed
2:05:09 > 2:05:17he had been murdered.
2:05:17 > 2:05:22The Russians who died in the UK water may be suspicious
2:05:22 > 2:05:24circumstances are being re-examined.
2:05:24 > 2:05:27Some observers believe it is time to join the dots.
2:05:27 > 2:05:30Mr Glushkov's death fits into a wider pattern of the last 12
2:05:30 > 2:05:32years of Russian opponents dropping dead across Europe.
2:05:32 > 2:05:34The consequences for the Kremlin of this were limited to far too
2:05:34 > 2:05:42long, the UK response as recently been much stronger,
2:05:45 > 2:05:49but there's still an awful lot we could do.
2:05:49 > 2:05:52The former PR executive Lord Bell a friend of Mr Glushkov has told
2:05:52 > 2:05:55the BBC he suspects he was killed after being deemed a traitor
2:05:55 > 2:05:56by the Russian state.
2:05:56 > 2:05:59Police say that at present there is no link between the murder
2:05:59 > 2:06:01in London and the poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his
2:06:01 > 2:06:02daughter in Salisbury.
2:06:02 > 2:06:09But some Russian exiles are being contacted about their safety.
2:06:09 > 2:06:11Officers responded immediately when they got a report of a shooting
2:06:11 > 2:06:17at a house at around 8pm last night.
2:06:17 > 2:06:22A 35-year-old man has been arrested. The victims were known to be

2:07:07 > 2:07:09and it can also have wider impacts on health,
2:07:09 > 2:07:13and it is often the case that when a person has a serious fall
2:07:13 > 2:07:15it is one of the things that precipitate the slippery slope
2:07:15 > 2:07:20of them becoming housebound.
2:07:21 > 2:07:24The former deputy director of the FBI has been dramatically fired just
2:07:24 > 2:07:29hours before he was due to formally retire. Andrew McCabe said his

2:09:27 > 2:09:31I do not want one. I am going to say that, I do not want one.
2:09:31 > 2:09:36I will make a note. We will look ahead to some of the
2:09:36 > 2:09:41weather problems. Quite a few problems across the UK today. Ice

2:09:52 > 2:09:54The LGA says many falls can be avoided

2:09:57 > 2:09:59as Marta Newman reports.
2:09:59 > 2:10:03Falling over can have a huge impact on older people, as well as adult
2:10:03 > 2:10:07social care and health services. It is a common but often overlooked

2:10:16 > 2:10:16considerable distress, pain, a loss of independence and even death. NHS
2:10:16 > 2:10:23figures show around 300,000 people aged 65 and over were admitted to
2:10:23 > 2:10:29hospital last year due to falling. The number of fall related hospital
2:10:29 > 2:10:32admissions is rising year-on-year, and it is expected that
2:10:32 > 2:10:33admissions is rising year-on-year, and it is expected that by 2021,
2:10:33 > 2:10:39there will be nearly 1000 new cases every day. Around one in five foals
2:10:39 > 2:10:45are caused by slipping, tripping or stumbling. The Local Government
2:10:45 > 2:10:50Association says it costs the NHS more than £2 billion per year. The
2:10:50 > 2:10:54LGA, which represents 370 councils in England and Wales, the putting
2:10:54 > 2:10:59more of that money into council services to prevent falls would
2:10:59 > 2:11:04improve the quality of life of an ever increasing ageing population.
2:11:04 > 2:11:07We think the track record of the Council programmes that are already
2:11:07 > 2:11:12in place is showing that we can help many older people stay in their
2:11:12 > 2:11:15houses for longer, enjoy a healthier life and this is about saving the
2:11:15 > 2:11:20taxpayer at some money and enhancing their experience.The Department of
2:11:20 > 2:11:24Health and social care is say they have dedicated £9.4 billion in
2:11:24 > 2:11:30social care funding over the next three years to support local
2:11:30 > 2:11:33authorities so that comprehensive fall prevention plans can be

2:11:39 > 2:11:40Michelle Donnelly-Stevenson is a falls prevention
2:11:40 > 2:11:43adviser and James Beaumont is a physiotherapist.
2:11:43 > 2:11:49Good morning to you both. James, give of an idea of some of the
2:11:49 > 2:11:53injuries you are seeing. We are seeing that there are more likely to
2:11:53 > 2:11:59be more older people admitted to hospital for treatment.Certainly
2:11:59 > 2:12:03the prevalence of folders increasing. The sort of things we
2:12:03 > 2:12:09see our hip fractures being one of the worst ones. Mortality, for one
2:12:09 > 2:12:13year after a hip fracture is still quite high. Head injuries, wrist
2:12:13 > 2:12:18fractures. Even going as low down as, you know, knocking people's
2:12:18 > 2:12:23confidence. They become more housebound. It is a real problem.
2:12:23 > 2:12:27Michelle, you try to do with as a practical level by advising people
2:12:27 > 2:12:29about this. The statistics tell us more people will have these kind of
2:12:29 > 2:12:35problems. In practice, what can be to help?What we have currently been
2:12:35 > 2:12:40running across Lancashire is a project funded by Lancashire County
2:12:40 > 2:12:45Council called Steady On. We look at practical tips and advice given to
2:12:45 > 2:12:48older adults to try to reduce the risk of falling. Common day-to-day
2:12:48 > 2:12:53practical things that we can do. Like what?The word steady is an
2:12:53 > 2:13:00acronym.
2:13:00 > 2:13:03acronym. S is slippers, footwear, tablet and medication, the
2:13:03 > 2:13:09environment, activity and exercise, do you fall and do you have a plan?
2:13:09 > 2:13:16And I care and keeping on top of that.All of that advice, why is
2:13:16 > 2:13:19that are now needed as opposed to ten or 15 years ago? As you get
2:13:19 > 2:13:25older, I mean, we see that you tend to follow and you have described the
2:13:25 > 2:13:32damage because of bone density, why do we need that advice now?I think
2:13:32 > 2:13:37it has always been needed. It is long-standing. It is becoming more
2:13:37 > 2:13:41awareness is a lot better and looking at protecting, kind of, our
2:13:41 > 2:13:46older adults and future generations. Obviously, as James has said, we are
2:13:46 > 2:13:53leading a little bit longer and there are more and it is trying to
2:13:53 > 2:13:55put yourself in the best position possible. Thinking about it early.
2:13:55 > 2:13:59Our project looks at 55 plus. Education and the reiteration of the
2:13:59 > 2:14:03importance of the practical things we can do to keep as an dependent on
2:14:03 > 2:14:07the cell care we can provide for ourselves.James, people all or a
2:14:07 > 2:14:12young are encouraged to be active, so the balance between somebody who
2:14:12 > 2:14:16is of a certain age, encouraging them to call for walks and quad
2:14:16 > 2:14:24mobile, at the same time be aware of the potential risk. It is a delicate
2:14:24 > 2:14:27balance.It certainly is. The research would suggest that anybody
2:14:27 > 2:14:32over the age of 65 should try to maintain an active lifestyle, and it
2:14:32 > 2:14:38does say that anybody doing 30 minutes of strength and balance
2:14:38 > 2:14:42exercises three times per week and going for a walk of about 30 minutes
2:14:42 > 2:14:45twice a week is going to significantly reduce their risk of
2:14:45 > 2:14:51having a fall. Obviously, you're not going to dig up any sort of unsafe
2:14:51 > 2:14:54practices, so we would definitely recommend that you get advice and
2:14:54 > 2:15:00the supervision of services like your local physio department. They
2:15:00 > 2:15:06advise you on what you should be doing.And tried to get a sense of,
2:15:06 > 2:15:11Michelle, maybe you can help, is those people who are doing things
2:15:11 > 2:15:14they shouldn't? Overdoing it? Somebody in their late 80s trying to
2:15:14 > 2:15:19go for a walk in the snow? Or is this people just... Accidents just
2:15:19 > 2:15:24happen in the home, people doing things they need to do to get to the
2:15:24 > 2:15:30cooker, or...?I perfectly understand. What we would both say,
2:15:30 > 2:15:37and anybody in our position, is that we cannot prevent every fall. It
2:15:37 > 2:15:42could happen to anybody. We want to reduce the risk as much as possible.
2:15:42 > 2:15:46We are not think that people are taking too many risks but it is just
2:15:46 > 2:15:52remembering things that we can make a difference in. The practical
2:15:52 > 2:15:54day-to-day, modifiable factors that we could look at to reduce risk,
2:15:54 > 2:15:58despite her age, in all honesty, but we are looking at older adults
2:15:58 > 2:16:07obviously. Thank you, both, for joining us.
2:16:07 > 2:16:09Thank you, both, for joining us. We were talking about being careful.
2:16:09 > 2:16:15People may need to be careful with the ice?
2:16:15 > 2:16:19People may need to be careful with the ice? Absolutely right. Not just
2:16:19 > 2:16:22to do this snowy weekend, but warning that already for the ice
2:16:22 > 2:16:24risk on Monday. It is
2:16:24 > 2:16:25warning that already for the ice risk on Monday. It is the snow and
2:16:25 > 2:16:28ice combined that will cause the problems. We are seeing some
2:16:28 > 2:16:31flurries of snow already. Amber warnings led from the Met office.
2:16:31 > 2:16:35This is being sent in from Cambridge. We will try to show you
2:16:35 > 2:16:40some more when the next hour or so. It is cold out bitterly cold. The
2:16:40 > 2:16:53easterly winds that we had a couple of weeks ago have
2:16:54 > 2:16:56returned. This time, they will not last as long but very strong, gusty
2:16:56 > 2:16:59winds. For the west coast of England and Wales, a real buffeting going on
2:16:59 > 2:17:02at the moment. The snow showers are starting to pack into eastern areas.
2:17:02 > 2:17:05This is the dividing line for Van -- from that milder Atlantic to be much
2:17:05 > 2:17:07eastern area. This will turn progressively to sleet and snow
2:17:07 > 2:17:09throughout the day. It is falling in the children's at the moment. This
2:17:09 > 2:17:16will bring the heaviest snow as we go through the day. It is not going
2:17:16 > 2:17:21to feel warm! 14 degrees in the south east yesterday. Three possibly
2:17:21 > 2:17:25today, if we are lucky. The West will be best for sunshine, the North
2:17:25 > 2:17:28West of Scotland. But if you add on the wind, it will feel better. A
2:17:28 > 2:17:34real shock to the system. Take note, particularly if you're heading out
2:17:34 > 2:17:37for these sporting events. Let's take a closer look at the amber
2:17:37 > 2:17:41warnings. Part of northern England, Lincolnshire, across to the borders
2:17:41 > 2:17:44of Wales we think those showers will penetrate, one after the other. It
2:17:44 > 2:17:49will not be the only area with the snow, with those across the South
2:17:49 > 2:17:53East and Essex, we will see the largest amount of snow, and then
2:17:53 > 2:17:57tonight a potential hazard of a more widespread area coming in across
2:17:57 > 2:18:02southern England and South Wales. It could be wintry evening and night
2:18:02 > 2:18:07team picture. Same sort of areas getting them thick and fast and
2:18:07 > 2:18:10across southern areas and then they started to clump together, if that
2:18:10 > 2:18:16is the right word. In more organised area of snow, which the uncertainty
2:18:16 > 2:18:20lies in how far north and east it affects. Just a few centimetres will
2:18:20 > 2:18:23cause significant problems, because it will settle. Temperatures widely
2:18:23 > 2:18:28below freezing. A penetrating frost as well because of the strength of
2:18:28 > 2:18:32the wind. Bitterly cold if you are exposed overnight. Tomorrow, still
2:18:32 > 2:18:36got that bitterly cold, strong easterly wind blowing that snow, but
2:18:36 > 2:18:41only slowly away, so it is good -- it could be very wintry picture
2:18:41 > 2:18:46first thing across southern and western areas of the country.
2:18:46 > 2:18:48Elsewhere, still a scattering of showers but easing off in intensity
2:18:48 > 2:18:51and frequency later in the day as high pressure built into the North.
2:18:51 > 2:18:55But still cold. It might not be as better on today but very little in
2:18:55 > 2:19:00it. Minus six at better East wind, which will cut off. You have heard
2:19:00 > 2:19:03us talking about is that this morning. It is a short lived when.
2:19:03 > 2:19:08We pick up a northerly, not much warmer but it cuts off that really
2:19:08 > 2:19:13dry, cold air. That biting cold air. It does not believe you to defrost,
2:19:13 > 2:19:16and therefore the ice, problems
2:19:16 > 2:19:17It does not believe you to defrost, and therefore the ice, problems,
2:19:17 > 2:19:20Charlie, because it will still be cold overnight. Where that's nobody
2:19:20 > 2:19:24little bit in the March sunshine during the day, it will then of
2:19:24 > 2:19:29course refreeze the evening and overnight. -- where the snow so is a

2:21:57 > 2:22:02of child sex abuse related to the ongoing events in Telford, and They
2:22:02 > 2:22:04are looking at events there.
2:22:04 > 2:22:05ongoing events in Telford, and They are looking at events there.
2:22:05 > 2:22:09We have been bringing you up-to-date with what has been happening in
2:22:09 > 2:22:12terms of Russia. We understand there are going to be 23 expulsions by the
2:22:12 > 2:22:15Russian Foreign Ministry and it says it reserves the right to respond to
2:22:15 > 2:22:24hostile actions by the UK. On the front page of the Financial Times,
2:22:24 > 2:22:28examining how our politicians are dealing with this... Is it vertical
2:22:28 > 2:22:34at a crisis, at least in diplomatic terms?We are certainly in the eye
2:22:34 > 2:22:39of the storm at the moment. The world watching Britain. Our
2:22:39 > 2:22:42controversial Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, has caught the eye of
2:22:42 > 2:22:48the FT. He inflames row with Moscow by claiming Vladimir Putin ordered
2:22:48 > 2:22:52the poisoning. This is a step further than Theresa May and Downing
2:22:52 > 2:22:56Street had not commented on Boris Johnson saying it was overwhelmingly
2:22:56 > 2:23:01likely this was authorised by Vladimir Putin. I mean... Talk
2:23:01 > 2:23:05about... Going outside the lines, almost, your former Foreign
2:23:05 > 2:23:09Secretary. You would expect the Prime Minister to lead in this
2:23:09 > 2:23:11instance but the inference here, certainly from the FT, is loose
2:23:11 > 2:23:19lipped. We need to hold tight and remain credible. We have this
2:23:19 > 2:23:24fragile coalition of big leaders standing with us. It has echoes of
2:23:24 > 2:23:27Gavin Williamson, the Defence Secretary, talking of Russia's
2:23:27 > 2:23:32shutting up. It seems like Theresa May is surrounded almost by puppets
2:23:32 > 2:23:37and pretenders, which is a shame, because our Prime Minister, I think,
2:23:37 > 2:23:40has handled this crisis very well, and certainly that is the feeling in
2:23:40 > 2:23:46the Daily Telegraph. They have at last been able to refer to her as a
2:23:46 > 2:23:52strong and, well, cradle... The joke being she is holding a newborn baby
2:23:52 > 2:23:57and her personal ratings apparently have gone up. 16% of the British
2:23:57 > 2:24:00public approval of the way she has handled it. That is in comparison
2:24:00 > 2:24:04with Jeremy Corbyn, who is sitting on 18% approval, because he has done
2:24:04 > 2:24:09the exact opposite of Boris Johnson. Boris Johnson thing there is
2:24:09 > 2:24:12definitely a link with Vladimir Putin and Jeremy Corbyn refusing to
2:24:12 > 2:24:17explicitly even condemn rush hour, or say that it is explicitly
2:24:17 > 2:24:22Russia's fault. A very interesting and fractious, actually, what is
2:24:22 > 2:24:27happening on the British political scene, let alone the response we are
2:24:27 > 2:24:30expecting from our allies. It is worth reminding people that we
2:24:30 > 2:24:37are getting news from Moscow that 23 diplomats will be expelled. It had
2:24:37 > 2:24:41been predicted this would be a tit-for-tat situation. We waited
2:24:41 > 2:24:46quite a few days for this reaction. That is exactly what it is.It is
2:24:46 > 2:24:50fascinating that have chosen 23 on the nose. Of course, the backdrop to
2:24:50 > 2:24:56this...It is in reaction to the UK included the Russian diplomats will
2:24:56 > 2:25:01be expelled.In a ring. The backdrop is this increased heating up of what
2:25:01 > 2:25:04some people are referring to as the Cold War because this second murder
2:25:04 > 2:25:07of an exile in London being identified in the police. No
2:25:07 > 2:25:13connection at the moment to Russia but, nonetheless, he was a critic of
2:25:13 > 2:25:17pigeon's resume. Sticking with chilly winds from the east. The Were
2:25:17 > 2:25:24really going for it with the second beast, and referring to Labour's
2:25:24 > 2:25:27been at risk. That is the warning, apparently. We should all know off
2:25:27 > 2:25:31by heart are yellow, amber and redcoats. They are claiming they
2:25:31 > 2:25:34will be inches of snow this weekend. We are literally a couple of weeks
2:25:34 > 2:25:40away from Easter. I am meant to be climbing up a Scottish mountain with
2:25:40 > 2:25:45eight London children and I think... Win is this?The first week of
2:25:45 > 2:25:52April. In fact, I think the tops are going to be crampons and the specs.
2:25:52 > 2:25:56Helen has told us, and we have been talking to her all morning, lots of
2:25:56 > 2:26:00people take the advice, there are warnings from highways England about
2:26:00 > 2:26:05not driving in trans-Pennine routes, Helen says they have had snow in
2:26:05 > 2:26:11June. It is not majorly unusual.I know, but I am hoping that there is
2:26:11 > 2:26:16a deep defrosting and lots of really warm weather.If you're claiming the
2:26:16 > 2:26:20peaks in Scotland, it is going to be cold and there will be snow. Just be
2:26:20 > 2:26:24ready.Taking nine-year-olds up, I think they might need more than
2:26:24 > 2:26:29trainers!They will be OK. Lots of thick socks.
2:26:29 > 2:26:34You pick out a story in relation to sugary drinks. How long have we been
2:26:34 > 2:26:38talking about what to do about the drinks that particularly young
2:26:38 > 2:26:43people drink a lot of? It was across-the-board, though.It is
2:26:43 > 2:26:49working, Charlie.Is it?We have cut back on sugary drinks job in half by
2:26:49 > 2:26:53one third. There is a rather wonderful quote here that says the
2:26:53 > 2:26:58reason we have cut back is because "Schools treat sugary drinks like
2:26:58 > 2:27:05arsenic is these days." I always think it is a terribly middle-class
2:27:05 > 2:27:10thing to only allow your children to drink water. It is the sign of an
2:27:10 > 2:27:12attentive mother. Some do not even allow squashed. Apparently the
2:27:12 > 2:27:17message is getting through. Interestingly, a sugar attacks on
2:27:17 > 2:27:20fizzy drinks is coming in on the next month. In fact, we have taken
2:27:20 > 2:27:24the initiative and have not been hit by our pockets. We have recognised
2:27:24 > 2:27:28that this is something that needs stopped.But we have waited until a
2:27:28 > 2:27:33time when two thirds of adults and one third of children are in peace
2:27:33 > 2:27:37-- obese.Indeed, we have. We are still at crisis level. Elsewhere,
2:27:37 > 2:27:41lots of debate about whether to have your scorns with cream on the top or
2:27:41 > 2:27:45bottom and I wonder whether the cream should be on the scorn at all.
2:27:45 > 2:27:51Maybe it is not the fizzy drinks! The Queen has said which way round
2:27:51 > 2:27:57it should be.The Queen likes it was the cream on top. If you go to a
2:27:57 > 2:28:00Buckingham Palace garden party... Surely you to have been to a couple.
2:28:00 > 2:28:03When you have been to one, the Queen is on top.
2:28:03 > 2:28:07I have been but I do not think I have had is gone.
2:28:07 > 2:28:16I do not like scorns. At least use the scorn. Because
2:28:16 > 2:28:18"scoan" is a sign you come from the side.
2:28:18 > 2:28:28What is wrong with that? -- at least use the scone.
2:28:28 > 2:28:32Just to recap, Russia has expelled 23, or is going to, British
2:28:32 > 2:28:42diplomats in response to the UK expelling 23. It is also holding the
2:28:42 > 2:28:44activities of the British Council across the country in response to
2:28:44 > 2:28:48Britain's measures in response to the poisoning of a former Russian
2:28:48 > 2:28:57double agent and his daughter. The headlines in a few moments.
2:29:58 > 2:29:58milk
2:29:58 > 2:30:01Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
2:30:01 > 2:30:09Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
2:30:09 > 2:30:17First a summary of this morning's main news.
2:30:21 > 2:30:27this comes almost a fortnight after the note it and attack. We can talk
2:30:27 > 2:30:30to Richard who is in Moscow for us. This news just coming out literally
2:30:30 > 2:30:34in the last half hour 20 minutes or so after the UK ambassador was
2:30:34 > 2:30:42summoned by Russia. The news is that Russia has expelled diplomat in
2:30:42 > 2:30:49retaliation. Russia is now saying that it will expelled 23 British
2:30:49 > 2:30:54diplomats, presumably some British spies. They will all be expelled
2:30:54 > 2:30:58here from Moscow. 23 is the exact number that Britain said they would
2:30:58 > 2:31:03expel the number of Russian intelligence agents from the UK, so
2:31:03 > 2:31:15that is absolutely tit-for-tat. They are saying that the agreement for
2:31:15 > 2:31:22the consulate in St Petersburg, the British Consulate in St Petersburg
2:31:22 > 2:31:26will end. Finally, they are saying that if Britain takes further
2:31:26 > 2:31:29measures, then Russia will do the same. So, we could have a ratcheting
2:31:29 > 2:31:37up of their was further action from the British side. What would be the
2:31:37 > 2:31:40impact of ceasing operations at the consulate? How quickly will these
2:31:40 > 2:31:46diplomats be leaving the country?
2:31:46 > 2:31:48diplomats be leaving the country? We are still trying to confirm this,
2:31:48 > 2:31:52but we understand in terms of the expulsion of diplomats, it would be
2:31:52 > 2:31:57the same as Britain, ie within a week. We know that the Russian
2:31:57 > 2:32:01intelligence agents, the 23 of them have to live on Tuesday, so we think
2:32:01 > 2:32:08it is going to be a week period, a period of seven days, which the
2:32:08 > 2:32:13British diplomats will now be given. OK, Richard, of course, lots
2:32:13 > 2:32:17happening this morning. He will speak to you in half an hour as the
2:32:17 > 2:32:21story develops.
2:32:21 > 2:32:23Police have launched a murder investigation after two women
2:32:23 > 2:32:26were shot and killed at a house in East Sussex.
2:32:26 > 2:32:30Officers were called to an address in St Leonards on Sea last night.
2:32:30 > 2:32:33Officers were called to an address in St Leonards-on-Sea last night.
2:32:33 > 2:32:35A 35 year old man has been arrested.
2:32:35 > 2:32:38The victims, aged 32 and 53 were known to the suspect.
2:32:38 > 2:32:40Police say they're not looking for anyone else
2:32:40 > 2:32:41in connection with the shooting.
2:32:41 > 2:32:44The Met office is issuing a amber warning. And ice in much of England
2:32:44 > 2:32:50and parts of Scotland. More than 100 flights to and from Heathrow have
2:32:50 > 2:32:56been cancelled because of bad weather dubbed the minibeast from
2:32:56 > 2:32:58the east.
2:32:58 > 2:33:00The former deputy director of the FBI has been dramatically
2:33:00 > 2:33:03fired, just hours before he was due to formally retire.
2:33:03 > 2:33:05Andrew McCabe said his sacking had been politically motivated,
2:33:05 > 2:33:08and claimed it was part of a wider effort to taint the FBI.
2:33:08 > 2:33:15President Trump tweeted it had been a "great day for democracy".
2:33:15 > 2:33:17It might have been panned by some critics, but Hugh Jackman's movie
2:33:17 > 2:33:19musical 'The Greatest Showman' continues to dominate
2:33:19 > 2:33:22the cinema and music charts - sitting at the top of the UK album
2:33:22 > 2:33:30chart for 10 weeks.
2:33:30 > 2:33:39# So tell me where do you want to go...
2:33:39 > 2:33:39#
2:33:39 > 2:33:41The film is loosely based on the life of
2:33:41 > 2:33:45based on the life of circus impresario PT
2:33:45 > 2:33:46Barnum, AKA the greatest showman.
2:33:46 > 2:33:49The only other album that's managed to spend longer at the top spot
2:33:49 > 2:33:53in the UK in the last 30 years is Adele's 21, which managed
2:33:53 > 2:33:5411 weeks at the top.
2:33:54 > 2:34:00Those are the main stories this morning.
2:34:00 > 2:34:05John has got the sport for us this morning. Just to cap the sense of
2:34:05 > 2:34:09occasion applicant to date, as the end of the six Nations, it has
2:34:09 > 2:34:14started snowing. Yes, it has. That'll be interesting. We are going
2:34:14 > 2:34:24to go live now to Twickenham, Karen Island -- Karen Island complete the
2:34:24 > 2:34:35grand slam. Boy, it looks cold there, too.
2:34:35 > 2:34:41there, too. Yes, I am glad I have got my spring wardrobe on. The snow
2:34:41 > 2:34:45is falling here at Twickenham. It is not very springlike at all. Rewind
2:34:45 > 2:34:51six weeks, John.
2:34:51 > 2:34:55six weeks, John. Johnny Sexton dropping that drop goal in overtime
2:34:55 > 2:35:00to beat the French. You just got the feeling that Allen had luck on their
2:35:00 > 2:35:05side when they won that match. They beat Italians and they beat the
2:35:05 > 2:35:09Welsh, and then last week, they beat Scotland. Scotland have been so
2:35:09 > 2:35:15disappointing in this championship because they got off to a terrible
2:35:15 > 2:35:22start. We will come onto them in a moment. What happened to England in
2:35:22 > 2:35:27Paris when they lost against the French. Two defeat in a row for
2:35:27 > 2:35:31England who were going for a hat-trick of titles, here. They just
2:35:31 > 2:35:39seem to be going... Backwards. That incredible match against Scotland
2:35:39 > 2:35:44when they lost and then losing against France. Can they lose three
2:35:44 > 2:35:50in a row? If they do, then Ireland will not just be champions, they
2:35:50 > 2:35:54will also be Grand Slam champions, as well. Winning the grand slam for
2:35:54 > 2:35:59only the third time in their history. Muted celebrations when
2:35:59 > 2:36:04they became champions last week, but now it is all about the clean sweep.
2:36:04 > 2:36:09Let's hear from both camps now, starting with the Ireland captain.
2:36:09 > 2:36:20Everybody is aware of the significance it has for Irish rugby
2:36:20 > 2:36:22and this group of players. Yes, there is nervous energy, but you
2:36:22 > 2:36:28want to put yourself against the best teams.Rugby is an imperfect
2:36:28 > 2:36:33game, so there is every team has a certain areas of weaknesses, and we
2:36:33 > 2:36:40are going to be good enough to exploit those errors and weaknesses.
2:36:40 > 2:36:45England have made so many changes, seven in all. Ten if you count up
2:36:45 > 2:36:49some of those positional changes. Just the one change for Ireland, but
2:36:49 > 2:36:56it all gets under way in Rome. The final round of match. Scotland
2:36:56 > 2:37:01probably finishing third is the best that they can do. Wales against the
2:37:01 > 2:37:06French in Cardiff, that be a battle to see who finishes second, but it
2:37:06 > 2:37:10is the Sea Island's championship, and we will see if they can complete
2:37:10 > 2:37:17the grand slam. It is to 30 PM, here. For Wales versus France. Thank
2:37:17 > 2:37:22you, Ollie. If anyone has a coach they can lend him, he will be
2:37:22 > 2:37:25grateful.
2:37:25 > 2:37:27Great Britain are still short of their medals target,
2:37:27 > 2:37:29on the penultimate day of competition at the Winter
2:37:29 > 2:37:30Paralympics in South Korea.
2:37:30 > 2:37:33Let's go over to Pyeongchang now - and our reporter Kate Grey can
2:37:33 > 2:37:34bring us up to date.
2:37:34 > 2:37:40It looks warmer there than at Twickenham.Yes, it is fairly warm
2:37:40 > 2:37:45here, today. The sun was shining and earlier, but it is starting to set.
2:37:45 > 2:37:51It has been a quiet day for the Brits, just two athletes in action.
2:37:51 > 2:37:59The first was James Whitley going in the slalom event. They get to run
2:37:59 > 2:38:03stand and then it is an accumulation time. It was a very tricky course,
2:38:03 > 2:38:09an icy way round the polls, and it is a tough category, as well. It is
2:38:09 > 2:38:13one of the toughest category at the Paralympic games. He skis without
2:38:13 > 2:38:18poles, and he skis just with his legs. He crossed the line and
2:38:18 > 2:38:22finished in tenth position, which is the best result for him at these
2:38:22 > 2:38:28games. He competed at
2:38:28 > 2:38:31games. He competed at Saatchi, at Sochi and finished in 15th. He is
2:38:31 > 2:38:35deathly improving. There was also action in the Nordic skiing. Scott
2:38:35 > 2:38:46Meenagh was competed. -- competing. He lost both his legs in an IED
2:38:46 > 2:38:51explosion in Afghanistan. His main goal is Beijing in four years' time.
2:38:51 > 2:38:56He will look to build on his experience here in South Korea. The
2:38:56 > 2:39:00home nation have won their first gold of these games. That is the
2:39:00 > 2:39:06first Winter Paralympics gold that they have one. Huge celebrations for
2:39:06 > 2:39:10the host nations, but with regards to Britain, they are one medal of
2:39:10 > 2:39:14their targets, they have five overall and they will have it after
2:39:14 > 2:39:20tomorrow as it goes into alpine skiing.Thank you, Kate. You will
2:39:20 > 2:39:25have two wrap up warm today if you are going to a football match. There
2:39:25 > 2:39:29is Premier League action. Danny is here to tell us what is on football
2:39:29 > 2:39:37focus later. We have got FA Cup coming up today. We have got eight
2:39:37 > 2:39:47teams left. Leicester against Chelsea with Kolo canto.
2:39:47 > 2:39:52Chelsea with Kolo canto. If you saw part one of Jose Mourinho's press
2:39:52 > 2:40:05conference, yesterday...The 12 minute rant.It is worth watching.
2:40:05 > 2:40:10Interesting to see how he would react if you saw another manager
2:40:10 > 2:40:19defending his team... I am confused. Normally what they do is some of it
2:40:19 > 2:40:23is available on that day, and the rest can be used the rest of the
2:40:23 > 2:40:29week end. 12 minute rant could be used yesterday, but there is more.
2:40:29 > 2:40:35That is where he says, why they were good, why we shouldn't be surprised
2:40:35 > 2:40:41that Manchester United has gone out. He really goes for it and it is
2:40:41 > 2:40:44worth watching. We are also looking at Wigan who are ticking on
2:40:44 > 2:40:55Southampton. We will show you a little but of that, now.
2:40:55 > 2:40:57If you could choose, winning the FA Cup or
2:40:57 > 2:40:58getting a promotion, you
2:40:58 > 2:41:01as a manager, right there, which one would you prefer to achieve?
2:41:01 > 2:41:03You've tested me there without a shadow of
2:41:03 > 2:41:04a doubt.
2:41:04 > 2:41:06All the questions previously have been about if we
2:41:06 > 2:41:08could get to the semifinal.
2:41:08 > 2:41:09You've tested me now.
2:41:09 > 2:41:12I think them FA Cup days are that special that if we
2:41:12 > 2:41:14could even dream of that, but the main objective
2:41:14 > 2:41:17is to be promotion.
2:41:17 > 2:41:19If we were lucky enough to get to the semifinal...
2:41:19 > 2:41:27We might change!
2:41:27 > 2:41:32That is what it means to be in web between the FA Cup and the
2:41:32 > 2:41:39promotion. We have got a nice peach with Jurgen Klopp and Logan. Alex
2:41:39 > 2:41:44McCarthy she has gone back to believes Scotland manager. He is on
2:41:44 > 2:41:51the show, as well. I have got a question related to the news. All
2:41:51 > 2:41:56the stuff relating to Russia, the comments about the England manager.
2:41:56 > 2:41:59There is a meeting about how concerned some of the players are
2:41:59 > 2:42:04about going out there. I think that will be quite interesting.I think
2:42:04 > 2:42:09it'll be really in sting to keep an eye on. Originally, you think, it is
2:42:09 > 2:42:13never going to happen. But now, more people are mentioning it, at some
2:42:13 > 2:42:21point it has got to become a serious discussion from a safety
2:42:22 > 2:42:24discussion from a safety point view. And for fans, as well. But the fans
2:42:24 > 2:42:27would have thought twice about going to Russia in the first place, and
2:42:27 > 2:42:29now there is an extra element of care and concern about going
2:42:29 > 2:42:32yourself or taking your family. It is a big talking point for next
2:42:32 > 2:42:44week.Thank you, Dan.The year at midday.-- see you at midday.
2:42:45 > 2:42:47It was a frustrating evening for Hibernian as they missed
2:42:47 > 2:42:49the chance to go third in the Scottish Premiership.
2:42:49 > 2:42:52Hibs went ahead in the second minute, had their keeper
2:42:52 > 2:42:54sent off not long after, and held out until the final
2:42:54 > 2:43:02stages when Chris Kane equalised for St Johnstone.
2:43:06 > 2:43:09A former dairy farmer landed his first Gold Cup, yesterday.
2:43:09 > 2:43:11The Cheltenham Gold Cup is one of the biggest racing
2:43:11 > 2:43:13events of the year - and we got a contest
2:43:13 > 2:43:15which lived up to that billing.
2:43:15 > 2:43:18It was, literally, a two horse race with Native River holding off
2:43:18 > 2:43:19the favourite Might Bite.
2:43:19 > 2:43:21That gave jockey Richard Johnson his second Gold Cup triump -
2:43:21 > 2:43:23and a first for trainer Colin Tizzard.
2:43:23 > 2:43:25Venus Williams has been knocked out in the semi-finals
2:43:25 > 2:43:30at Indian Wells by the 20-year-old Russian Daria Kasatkina -
2:43:30 > 2:43:31and what's remarkable is that Russian Daria Kasatkina -
2:43:31 > 2:43:33and what's remarkable is that Kasatkina has beaten four
2:43:33 > 2:43:36Grand Slam champions on her way to the final -
2:43:36 > 2:43:38Sloane Stephens, Caroline Wosniacki, Agelique Kerber and now
2:43:38 > 2:43:41Williams, all brushed aside.
2:43:41 > 2:43:44She'll take on Naomi Osaka of Japan, after she knocked out the world
2:43:44 > 2:43:47number one Simona Halep.
2:43:47 > 2:43:52That is all your sport, for now. We will have more later.
2:43:52 > 2:43:54Tens of thousands of pensioners and low income families could be
2:43:54 > 2:43:57putting their homes at risk if they do not sign up
2:43:57 > 2:43:59for a new scheme to help them pay their mortgage interest.
2:43:59 > 2:44:03But the Government revealed this week that only one in ten of those
2:44:03 > 2:44:09who get the help have agreed to the new system.
2:44:09 > 2:44:11That could leave 90,000 at risk.
2:44:11 > 2:44:15Paul Lewis has been looking at the new figures.
2:44:15 > 2:44:22Morning, will you expended for us. Irma if you get long-term sick, or
2:44:22 > 2:44:26you reach pension age, and you get means tested benefits, then you can
2:44:26 > 2:44:34get some of the interest paid on... The Government justifies it by
2:44:34 > 2:44:42saying that that is cheaper by ... It has been like that since the
2:44:42 > 2:44:48start of the welfare state. It is a 70-year-old scheme, and from April
2:44:48 > 2:44:53eight is changing completely. That is just in three weeks' time. All of
2:44:53 > 2:44:57these payments will just stop unless the individual has signed up to turn
2:44:57 > 2:45:03them into a loan, and they have to take positive action, they have to
2:45:03 > 2:45:07make a phone call, and sign a document said that it is a lawful
2:45:07 > 2:45:11loan set against their home, and if they don't do that, then they will
2:45:11 > 2:45:15no longer get help with their mortgage, and the Government have
2:45:15 > 2:45:19just revealed this week that only about 10,000 out of more than
2:45:19 > 2:45:23100,000 have actually signed up for this loan, so the other 90,000 are
2:45:23 > 2:45:29in real danger. Well, it is a real risk, because we are talking about
2:45:29 > 2:45:33people's homes. We are, and the lenders will notice the payment
2:45:33 > 2:45:37hasn't arrived. They will get in touch, that could take two or three
2:45:37 > 2:45:41months, whilst the debt is clocking up, and these people who are on very
2:45:41 > 2:45:45restricted incomes will find it very hard to make that up, and
2:45:45 > 2:45:50eventually, if they don't make any arrangements, then they do face the
2:45:50 > 2:45:55risk of repossession, although that would be a long way down the tracks.
2:45:55 > 2:45:59You don't have to accept the loan, but it is probably the best deal
2:45:59 > 2:46:05there is. It is just the same as now except it will be a debt when you
2:46:05 > 2:46:08sell off home. There are other things, you might get family or
2:46:08 > 2:46:13friends to help, but that could be more expensive. All of those things
2:46:13 > 2:46:18are possible, but they should simply find the form and get -- sign the
2:46:18 > 2:46:23form and get this loan, and it could save their home. And I guess it is
2:46:23 > 2:46:30so often with your messages, Paul, that it is the worst thing to ignore
2:46:30 > 2:46:34it.It is unusual for benefit changes, but with this one, you have
2:46:34 > 2:46:39got to try and agree to, otherwise it will be much worse, and that is
2:46:39 > 2:46:45what is different about this, and that is probably the reason why only
2:46:45 > 2:46:48one in ten have completed the action. We will be speaking to the
2:46:48 > 2:46:54minister later on money box, and asking him what he plans to do about
2:46:54 > 2:46:59this. It is a problem and they will not want to see many people on
2:46:59 > 2:47:05benefit finding their work home at risk. It will cost them a lot more.
2:47:05 > 2:47:12Thank you so much. Money box, and BC Radio 4 at midday.
2:47:12 > 2:47:14With the impact of TV programmes like Blue Planet -
2:47:14 > 2:47:17we are more aware of the need to recycle than ever before.
2:47:17 > 2:47:19But when it comes to what can and can't be recycled,
2:47:19 > 2:47:21there is a lot of confusion.
2:47:21 > 2:47:24That lack of clarity can result in entire bags of recycling
2:47:24 > 2:47:26being rejected and sent to landfill, according to research carried out
2:47:26 > 2:47:28by the British Science Association.
2:47:28 > 2:47:31Simon Ellin is the Head of the UK Recycling Association
2:47:31 > 2:47:39and joins us now.
2:47:41 > 2:47:45That situation we outlined before about if you don't do it correctly,
2:47:45 > 2:47:49and it is contaminated, it will go to landfill. That is the worst of
2:47:49 > 2:47:56all the outcome, isn't it? It is. And it is such a... It should be
2:47:56 > 2:48:00such an easy concept, but we just don't seem to get it quite right,
2:48:00 > 2:48:06and it is something in the region of 20% of material that goes into our
2:48:06 > 2:48:11recycling bins, at home, is contamination. And not only does
2:48:11 > 2:48:16that mean that that material is not sackable, a taxi contaminates the
2:48:16 > 2:48:20other materials that are in there. Would you like to explain the
2:48:20 > 2:48:24contamination in this context Kayes let me give you an example. If you
2:48:24 > 2:48:29put in a tomato sauce bottle that is still full of tomato sauce, that
2:48:29 > 2:48:34then leaks out and it can go all of your cardboard, paper, and it can
2:48:34 > 2:48:45contaminate that. It renders it an recyclable. So, -- an recyclable.
2:48:45 > 2:48:50Paper napkin that you have thrown away, a bit of something on that.
2:48:50 > 2:48:57Absolutely.How do you find out. More of us are recycling. The bins
2:48:57 > 2:49:02are getting bigger and bigger. How is that details of the doubt?That
2:49:02 > 2:49:07is the difficulty that we have, and it is about education, and it is
2:49:07 > 2:49:10about getting the supply chain right. It should be very, very
2:49:10 > 2:49:16simple. The people that are designing and selling the
2:49:16 > 2:49:20manufacturers, do retailers and the supermarkets, if they design it for
2:49:20 > 2:49:23recyclability, it is labelled properly and then we have a proper
2:49:23 > 2:49:28system at the household to recycle, and almost unbelievably we have
2:49:28 > 2:49:32almost 350 different recycling system in the UK, so it gets very
2:49:32 > 2:49:35confused. It should be very simple. It should be a recyclable product
2:49:35 > 2:49:40that is labelling and you have a proper then. But we don't get it
2:49:40 > 2:49:44right. There is far too many systems. Far too many different
2:49:44 > 2:49:50terminals.As we say that... Sorry for interest opting flashbacks or if
2:49:50 > 2:49:59interrupting. Simple yes or no, plastic bags, can you recycle them?
2:49:59 > 2:50:07Generally, no. Some councils will, some councils won't.Isn't that
2:50:07 > 2:50:11interesting, because you are the expert and you have to qualify it.
2:50:11 > 2:50:17It is. Even I can't say categorically in every place it is
2:50:17 > 2:50:25not workable.Aerosols?Yes, definitely yes. Very, very easy to
2:50:25 > 2:50:34recycle. Great product. It goes in with your account and your metals.
2:50:34 > 2:50:40It is mixed, with everything else. Envelopes with Windows. These are
2:50:40 > 2:50:47the ones you get from councils. Yes, or no?Rip out the window and
2:50:47 > 2:50:54absolutely yes.C can't recycle the window?No. But, the envelope itself
2:50:54 > 2:51:01is recyclable.Here is the last one for you, kitchen roll. What do you
2:51:01 > 2:51:08do with it?An recyclable. The firebug quality isn't very good. We
2:51:08 > 2:51:14don't get any yield out of it. Wave nature it is used to mop up food and
2:51:14 > 2:51:18other things, and we don't want that in the recycling. Again, cross
2:51:18 > 2:51:24contamination.What noise should be give our guest for his performance
2:51:24 > 2:51:29on the programme? I thought we had control over the noises, I was going
2:51:29 > 2:51:34to give you a take, but we can't do it, apparently. We don't have that
2:51:34 > 2:51:39ability. That is a step too far, this morning. Simon, thank you so
2:51:39 > 2:51:44much. I am not sure that anybody is going to give Helen a big take for
2:51:44 > 2:51:48what she is about to deliver this morning, but I am sure you will
2:51:48 > 2:51:55deliver bad news well.
2:51:55 > 2:51:58morning, but I am sure you will deliver bad news well.
2:51:58 > 2:52:02It is quite serious weather at the moment. Even ahead of that, we are
2:52:02 > 2:52:07seeing from snow and ice issues, for example, behind me, this picture has
2:52:07 > 2:52:07been sent
2:52:07 > 2:52:09example, behind me, this picture has been sent in this morning for North
2:52:09 > 2:52:14Yorkshire. Quite a covering of snow, I think you will agree, here. The
2:52:14 > 2:52:22reason for the switch in our weather is because we have the Atlantique
2:52:22 > 2:52:26wins through the week. The high pressure has slipped into
2:52:26 > 2:52:33Scandinavia, and strong and gusty wind is pushing in. The showers are
2:52:33 > 2:52:38pushing farther westward, and we have got the remnants of the weather
2:52:38 > 2:52:42front. It is turning to snow. Not a great deal of snow, but certainly
2:52:42 > 2:52:46enough to give us some issues, and the showers packing in behind and
2:52:46 > 2:52:49they are of more concern because they are heavier, as they are coming
2:52:49 > 2:52:56into the same area. It will not be warm. Only is freezing on these
2:52:56 > 2:53:00coast. It will be a shock to the system as you might have heard me
2:53:00 > 2:53:05say, this morning. Let's have take a look at the amber warning areas.
2:53:05 > 2:53:09Where we think we will see the most snowfall. Not ruling out other areas
2:53:09 > 2:53:13seeing some snow, but this is where it could pile up very significant
2:53:13 > 2:53:20coverings. Then a possibility that overnight will see a larger area of
2:53:20 > 2:53:28snow moving in across the southern part of the UK, and that is where...
2:53:28 > 2:53:36Let me fill you in on the detail. As you can see the charts, here.
2:53:36 > 2:53:41Possibly starting to form into a longer spell of snow. Several
2:53:41 > 2:53:45centimetres in many areas, not just the hit and miss a showers, and
2:53:45 > 2:53:49still around tomorrow morning, and settling. The air is so-called,
2:53:49 > 2:53:57temperatures will be below freezing. Sunday dawns on a grey note for most
2:53:57 > 2:54:00of us, and possibly a winter wonderland across southern and
2:54:00 > 2:54:07western areas. That snow will be blowing around. In those near gale
2:54:07 > 2:54:14force winds. Just a bit of rain offshore, but another really cold
2:54:14 > 2:54:18day for this time of year. Temperatures well below average, and
2:54:18 > 2:54:22even more so, those on the Mac three, on the thermometer, this is
2:54:22 > 2:54:31how it will feel if you are -- those on the
2:54:31 > 2:54:35on the Mercury, this is how it will feel. That doesn't mean we don't
2:54:35 > 2:54:39still have a risk of eyes, because what has fallen will continue to
2:54:39 > 2:54:44freeze, and if it melt in the March sunshine by day, it will freeze
2:54:44 > 2:54:49again. Very cold air across us this weekend. Bitterly cold, amber
2:54:49 > 2:54:53warnings in force, but before that, we have got some snow and some ice
2:54:53 > 2:54:56issues, so please stay tuned for the forecast.
2:54:56 > 2:55:00issues, so please stay tuned for the forecast. Thank you very much. We
2:55:00 > 2:55:05will chat to you. With its being so-called, you what's been warned to
2:55:05 > 2:55:13leave, wouldn't you fish chips? Fish supper? To BT? Is that what you call
2:55:13 > 2:55:15it? I did call it that, but apparently some people say that.
2:55:15 > 2:55:22Curry sauce or mushy peas? Probably, if it was a fish and chip shop, salt
2:55:22 > 2:55:28and vinegar would be the thing. No vinegar from me, always mushy peas.
2:55:28 > 2:55:34Most of us choose cod or haddock.
2:55:34 > 2:55:37But the latest 'Good Fish Guide' says we should be eating "dab
2:55:37 > 2:55:39and chips" or other sustainable British fish.
2:55:39 > 2:55:41But what are the chances of us cooking unusual varieties?
2:55:41 > 2:55:43Bernadette Clarke is from the Marine Conservation Society,
2:55:43 > 2:55:50and Simon Wood is a former winner of MasterChef and restaurant owner:
2:55:50 > 2:55:54Start as off with, a lot of people have got the message by now about
2:55:54 > 2:55:58cod. People have possibly thought about other things. We are moving on
2:55:58 > 2:56:06a bit more, now.We would recommend that people move on from the top
2:56:06 > 2:56:16five. Cod, haddock, tuna, salmon. In terms of more sustainable choices.
2:56:16 > 2:56:21Which one should we have now?In our latest ratings update. This is our
2:56:21 > 2:56:28good fish died. We have a list of around 40 choices, and we have
2:56:28 > 2:56:33cherry picked a list of ten best choices which include local and
2:56:33 > 2:56:41sustainable...Give us the top three?
2:56:44 > 2:56:59three? Dab megrum sole.We tend to use macro which is sustainable.
2:56:59 > 2:57:05Halibut. We have got other things in there. It depends what is fresh and
2:57:05 > 2:57:09achievable to pick up.How opened you think customers are two new
2:57:09 > 2:57:12fish? There are still in a lot of people who are quite funny about
2:57:12 > 2:57:18this. They like and almost planar tasting fish, not as adventurous.I
2:57:18 > 2:57:23think they do. Our kind of customers, our menu is blind, so we
2:57:23 > 2:57:27can serve whatever is good at the time. People will try new things if
2:57:27 > 2:57:33it is put in front of them. Maybe they are a bit intimidated about how
2:57:33 > 2:57:39to cook them.What we have got in front of us is a macro. What else
2:57:39 > 2:57:46have we got, some crab meat, in there, and some haddock. Michael is
2:57:46 > 2:57:52one of the one that we should be using more.Yes, macro is very
2:57:52 > 2:57:56sustainable, but we export a lot of it to the continent, where we could
2:57:56 > 2:58:05be eating more in the UK.Give us a cute to -- a clue here. If you go to
2:58:05 > 2:58:10the supermarket, and you ask for some of the products, you might not
2:58:10 > 2:58:16find them, and price-wise, they going to be relatively expensive.
2:58:16 > 2:58:20Because that absolutely have an impact on whether people in practice
2:58:20 > 2:58:26and on an everyday sense will eat and buy those sorts of this.
2:58:26 > 2:58:29Certainly, taste, familiarity and price are some of the main drivers
2:58:29 > 2:58:34of the fish that we buy. Supermarkets, that is where we buy
2:58:34 > 2:58:4390% of our fish, so supermarket in some respects govern what we eat.
2:58:43 > 2:58:46They do supply the top five, but that is not to say that there is any
2:58:46 > 2:58:54less than the underutilised species. The top five are those that you are
2:58:54 > 2:59:00recommending.No, the Salmon, the cod...That is part of the problem.
2:59:00 > 2:59:03I am already forgetting some of the names that you are mentioning. If
2:59:03 > 2:59:07you are looking for one of those, are you going to find them?You will
2:59:07 > 2:59:13certainly find
2:59:16 > 2:59:26certainly find macro, dab, Kohli, ...
2:59:26 > 2:59:31...Pick one, reasonably priced.I would go simply with macro. It is
2:59:31 > 2:59:34the most readily available, the most familiar for people, I think. A
2:59:34 > 2:59:42little bit of oil in the pan, skin side down. To most of the cooking on
2:59:42 > 2:59:47the skin side. Little bit of butter, squeeze of lemon. That is as simple
2:59:47 > 2:59:52as it gets. Unfussy, clean cooking. Do you want to just finished a break
2:59:52 > 2:59:57for us.It goes anywhere with its dues, beetroot, Orange. It is a
2:59:57 > 3:00:00really good dish. That is something that you can do quite easily, at
3:00:00 > 3:00:11home.Thank you so much. Stay with us, headlines are coming up.
3:00:58 > 3:01:01Hello this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
3:01:01 > 3:01:03Moscow hits back over the Russian spy row -
3:01:03 > 3:01:1123 British diplomats are to be expelled within a week.
3:01:12 > 3:01:17The UK ambassador was summoned to the Foreign Ministry just over an
3:01:17 > 3:01:20hour ago following the poisoning of a former Russian double agent in
3:01:20 > 3:01:29Salisbury. The attack on the UK is blamed on the Kremlin.
3:01:34 > 3:01:36Good morning, it's Saturday the 17th of March.
3:01:36 > 3:01:38Also this morning:
3:01:38 > 3:01:40Police launch a murder investigation after two women are shot dead
3:01:40 > 3:01:43at a house in East Sussex.
3:01:43 > 3:01:46100 flights are cancelled and drivers are told to expect
3:01:46 > 3:01:54disruption as the "mini beast from the east" sweeps in.
3:01:54 > 3:01:59Good morning, it will be a shock to the system for many of us today, as
3:01:59 > 3:02:03the Siberian error is returning, bringing issues with ice and snow.
3:02:03 > 3:02:06There are numerous warnings out, including amber warnings from the
3:02:06 > 3:02:14Met office, and I will tell you more about those in about 15 minutes.
3:02:14 > 3:02:19Snow is falling at Twickenham. The final round of matches on the six
3:02:19 > 3:02:23Nations championship. Ireland could win the Grand Slam here, if they
3:02:23 > 3:02:28beat England. Psyche. -- thank you.
3:02:28 > 3:02:30Within the last 30 minutes, the Kremlin has ordered
3:02:30 > 3:02:3123 British diplomats to leave Moscow,
3:02:31 > 3:02:34in retaliation to the Prime Minister's expulsion of the same
3:02:34 > 3:02:36number of Russian diplomats from the UK earlier this week.
3:02:36 > 3:02:39It comes almost a fortnight after the nerve agent attack
3:02:39 > 3:02:41on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daugher.
3:02:41 > 3:02:49We can speak now to Richard Gaplin who is in Moscow.
3:02:51 > 3:02:54Richard, events are moving fast in the last hour. Take through the
3:02:54 > 3:02:58sequence of events. Yes, absolutely. The British
3:02:58 > 3:03:02ambassador was called to the Russian Foreign Ministry here in Moscow a
3:03:02 > 3:03:07couple of hours ago. He had that meeting, obviously, with very senior
3:03:07 > 3:03:12Foreign Office ministry officials. We now know that Russia has decided
3:03:12 > 3:03:17to expel 23 British diplomats from the embassy here in Moscow. That is
3:03:17 > 3:03:21an absolute tit-for-tat for what Britain has done. They have also
3:03:21 > 3:03:26announced several other measures. The British Council activities in
3:03:26 > 3:03:30this country will cease, and also that they are ending the agreement
3:03:30 > 3:03:35for a consulate in the key city of St Petersburg to be opened to
3:03:35 > 3:03:39operate. Effectively stopping the operation of the British Consulate
3:03:39 > 3:03:45in St Petersburg. Now, after the meeting, the British ambassador to
3:03:45 > 3:03:51Moscow came out of the Foreign Ministry here in Moscow and made
3:03:51 > 3:03:55some comments, and in particular he said that Britain had had to act
3:03:55 > 3:04:02after the poisoning of the family. We always do what is necessary to
3:04:02 > 3:04:07defend ourselves, our allies and values against an attack of this
3:04:07 > 3:04:11sort, which is an attack not only on the United Kingdom but upon the
3:04:11 > 3:04:14international system which all countries, including Russia, depend
3:04:14 > 3:04:22for their safety and security.Now, what Russia has also said, which is
3:04:22 > 3:04:27really important, is that if Britain now takes further measures against
3:04:27 > 3:04:31Russia, Moscow will also take further measures. It is the
3:04:31 > 3:04:35potential for this tit-for-tat to really ratchet up. Back to you.
3:04:35 > 3:04:45Richard, thank you very much. We can talk to our political
3:04:45 > 3:04:48correspondent, he was then a London newsroom now. Nikki, good to speak
3:04:48 > 3:04:54to you. -- who is in London newsroom. What more can you tell is
3:04:54 > 3:04:56about what has been happening in terms of reaction from the UK?
3:04:56 > 3:05:00I think when the Prime Minister announced the measures that she died
3:05:00 > 3:05:03on Wednesday, there were some people who thought she could have gone
3:05:03 > 3:05:09further. One of the questions that might be asked now is whether she
3:05:09 > 3:05:13will do that, particularly on the issue of Russian money in London and
3:05:13 > 3:05:16the UK in general. We have had a couple of senior politicians saying
3:05:16 > 3:05:20already this morning that they think that more action should be taken
3:05:20 > 3:05:27against that cash on British orders. Damon Margaret Hodge, who is a
3:05:27 > 3:05:31Labour MP, says that more and more, what she calls, dirty Russian money
3:05:31 > 3:05:36is coming into the country. -- on British shores. That is a way to
3:05:36 > 3:05:41"Hit Russia where it hurts. The Gers of Foreign Affairs Select Committee
3:05:41 > 3:05:45also says that as an area where do UK right now look to further actions
3:05:45 > 3:05:49after what happened in Moscow this morning.
3:05:49 > 3:05:54Nick, thank you very much for talking to us. As the story
3:05:54 > 3:05:57develops, we will keep you up-to-date.

3:06:06 > 3:06:09Officers were called to an address in St Leonards on Sea last night.
3:06:09 > 3:06:12A man has been arrested.
3:06:12 > 3:06:17The victims were known to be suspect. Police say they are not
3:06:17 > 3:06:22looking for anybody else in connection with the shooting.

3:06:44 > 3:06:47threw people from their seats at a mountain resort in Georgia.
3:06:47 > 3:06:49As the lift malfunctioned, people using it were forced to jump
3:06:49 > 3:06:52out of their seats to safety in the snow below
3:06:52 > 3:06:55and those standing nearby were forced to dive out of the way
3:06:55 > 3:06:56as the lift raced towards them.
3:06:56 > 3:06:58No reason has been given for the fault.

3:07:51 > 3:07:53Telford's MP Lucy Allan says she's been inundated with emails
3:07:53 > 3:07:55from people saying they've been victims of child grooming.
3:07:55 > 3:07:58It comes after a report in the Sunday Mirror claimed that up
3:07:58 > 3:08:01to one thousand girls in the town could have been victims of child
3:08:01 > 3:08:02sexual exploitation since the 1980s.
3:08:02 > 3:08:05That number has been disputed by West Mercia Police.
3:08:05 > 3:08:13Here's some of what Lucy Allan had to say earlier today.
3:08:16 > 3:08:20-- yesterday.I think it is absolutely essential that we have an
3:08:20 > 3:08:24independent inquiry, wholly independent of the Council, and that
3:08:24 > 3:08:28is focused on Telford. I am delighted, of course, that all
3:08:28 > 3:08:32parties now agree that that is the best way forward. The reason for
3:08:32 > 3:08:37that is because of this silence around this crime. I think that the
3:08:37 > 3:08:44institutions, the establishment, people are not talking about this.
3:08:44 > 3:08:47We can talk to former Detective Inspector Maggie Oliver who worked
3:08:47 > 3:08:52on the Rochdale case and later resigned from her job claiming that
3:08:52 > 3:08:55the force had failed victims of the scandal. Thank you very much for
3:08:55 > 3:09:00speaking to us today. These figures, the police are saying that they are
3:09:00 > 3:09:04not acknowledging these figures, saying they are investigating 46 at
3:09:04 > 3:09:10the moment. What you make these figures?I have been saying since I
3:09:10 > 3:09:13started to speak out publicly in 2011, and I went to the Home Office
3:09:13 > 3:09:19to say that the figures that were being reported were... Not correct.
3:09:19 > 3:09:24They were being underreported, on recorded. The Home Office select
3:09:24 > 3:09:30committee accepted that. -- under recorded. These figures are not
3:09:30 > 3:09:36fabricated, in my experience. Whichever city in the country you go
3:09:36 > 3:09:43to, you will see the same statistics.When we know the extent
3:09:43 > 3:09:48of this scandal, and how horrific this scandal is, why do you think
3:09:48 > 3:09:52now it is still being underreported and under recorded, the two words
3:09:52 > 3:09:57you used? At the time, OK, we accept that was happening and a big
3:09:57 > 3:10:03mistake, but for it now to still be being ignored?All I can say is that
3:10:03 > 3:10:07for me this feels a little bit like, I don't know, the boy who cried
3:10:07 > 3:10:14wolf. The authorities are very powerful. If the situation had not
3:10:14 > 3:10:19kept being repeated in Rochdale, in Rotherham, in Newcastle, in Telford,
3:10:19 > 3:10:27you know, they can say that ones. But the public now that these
3:10:27 > 3:10:33figures are true. The MP for Telford, she is in a position I was
3:10:33 > 3:10:37in five years ago. She is hearing it for the first time for Telford. I
3:10:37 > 3:10:43know from Rochdale that what was being... Nine men were prosecuted in
3:10:43 > 3:10:47Rochdale. From my experience, girl that I spoke to were naming dozens
3:10:47 > 3:10:52of men that had abused them and they were never prosecuted.So, Maggie, I
3:10:52 > 3:10:56am trying to get a sense. Are you suggesting that the same mistakes
3:10:56 > 3:11:02are being made again by the authorities, who are at best
3:11:02 > 3:11:07treating some of the claims with caution, and, in this case, actually
3:11:07 > 3:11:10saying they don't exist? Are you saying that mistakes are just being
3:11:10 > 3:11:15repeated over and over again by the reaction of the authorities? How
3:11:15 > 3:11:21could they react more constructively?Keep on hearing the
3:11:21 > 3:11:23same platitudes trotted out every time a case like this breaks. Even
3:11:23 > 3:11:31this week, these kids are consenting, they are child
3:11:31 > 3:11:36prostitutes, it is easier to blame the victims than to prosecute the
3:11:36 > 3:11:41offenders. To prosecute them is very time-consuming. It takes a lot of
3:11:41 > 3:11:43resources. There is no accountability but we keep hearing
3:11:43 > 3:11:50the same failures. I would ask these people in senior positions in the
3:11:50 > 3:11:53police, Chief Constable that politicians, if your child of 1312
3:11:53 > 3:11:59was being groomed, abused and passed around gangs of paedophiles, would
3:11:59 > 3:12:03they think that was acceptable? Would they say that a 13-year-old
3:12:03 > 3:12:09can consent? Would they not record an official crime report for every
3:12:09 > 3:12:13rape or every man that reach the child? It is as though there is a
3:12:13 > 3:12:19disconnect between what they are saying about his victims. -- that
3:12:19 > 3:12:21reaped their child. They are rating of these children because they do
3:12:21 > 3:12:27not have a voice. We keep seeing the same pattern repeating.
3:12:27 > 3:12:31What would you say to somebody who is watching now, who understands,
3:12:31 > 3:12:36I've knows somebody who has been a victim, either as a victim, in terms
3:12:36 > 3:12:39of... What people will hear is that this is not going to be taken
3:12:39 > 3:12:45seriously if they are victim, or that it is easy to be locked in a
3:12:45 > 3:12:48group that perhaps can be ignored, because there is not the proper
3:12:48 > 3:12:52process of recording this. Is that impression true?And individual
3:12:52 > 3:12:58victim does not really have a voice. I think as a society, we need to
3:12:58 > 3:13:04tackle this. As a society, as a country, where our priorities? The
3:13:04 > 3:13:07responsibility for dealing with these lies with politicians, the
3:13:07 > 3:13:12Home Secretary, Chief Constable. Quote bold statement to say an
3:13:12 > 3:13:16individual who has a victim does not have a voice.That is what I have
3:13:16 > 3:13:20witnessed. You speak to the girls on Telford this week and see whether
3:13:20 > 3:13:24they have been listened to. When the authorities say that lessons have
3:13:24 > 3:13:27been learned, words are very easy but we keep on hearing of the
3:13:27 > 3:13:30country the repetition of the same failures. I have known about this, I
3:13:30 > 3:13:36have worked on jobs since 2003. I keep hearing exactly the same set of
3:13:36 > 3:13:42circumstances. When I started to speak out, I did not know it was a
3:13:42 > 3:13:46national problem. I thought it was just Rochdale. I wish I had never
3:13:46 > 3:13:48travelled the journey that I have travelled, because it has destroyed
3:13:48 > 3:13:54my life in many ways. I gave up my career, I lost my home, I had no
3:13:54 > 3:13:59income. What I saw was a failure to protect vulnerable children. Now, 15
3:13:59 > 3:14:05years later, I am still hearing the same platitudes from people in
3:14:05 > 3:14:09positions of authority. They should be protecting these kids. If this
3:14:09 > 3:14:15was my daughter, they would listen to me because I would fight tooth
3:14:15 > 3:14:18and nail, as would you, but some of these children do not have anybody
3:14:18 > 3:14:21fighting a corner. That is where Chief Constables and politicians
3:14:21 > 3:14:27should step up to the mark and prosecuted these paedophiles. They
3:14:27 > 3:14:32know full well what they are doing, they are getting away with it. As a
3:14:32 > 3:14:39country, we need to take action. Another inquiry. In my experience,
3:14:39 > 3:14:42again, all of these inquiries are not really worth the paper that they
3:14:42 > 3:14:46are written on because action does not follow.Maggie, we appreciate
3:14:46 > 3:14:51your time. Thank you for speaking to us.Thank you very much.
3:14:51 > 3:14:54Here's Helen with a look at this morning's weather.
3:14:54 > 3:14:55Here's Helen with a look at this morning's weather.
3:14:55 > 3:14:59The mini beast from the east, we understand, is making its way
3:14:59 > 3:15:02towards us. It is your weapons, actually! It is
3:15:02 > 3:15:06snowing steadily here in London, and across many southern and eastern
3:15:06 > 3:15:12areas at the moment. Met Office amber warnings in force until the
3:15:12 > 3:15:16afternoon, but even -- from the afternoon, but even heard of that, a
3:15:16 > 3:15:20wintry mix this morning. This is how it looks in Suffolk. A wintry
3:15:20 > 3:15:25picture already, with snow lying. We have got some snow lying in Essex, I
3:15:25 > 3:15:30showed due north Yorkshire as well. There is snow and it is starting to
3:15:30 > 3:15:32settle, particularly on the gardens and sides of the roads at moment. It
3:15:32 > 3:15:37is because, as you mentioned, we have got this cold easterly beast.
3:15:37 > 3:15:42They say that if a bit of weather a law. When from the east is no good
3:15:42 > 3:15:46to man or beast. It is so bitterly cold. This is the snow picture, the
3:15:46 > 3:15:52snow radar picture. Slightly overdone but we are going to
3:15:52 > 3:15:56continue to see them packing in the North Sea. This is the remnants of a
3:15:56 > 3:15:59weather front in the south that starts to turn, overnight at least,
3:15:59 > 3:16:04into some more persistent snow. A very cold day for all of us. Even
3:16:04 > 3:16:06when you do not have the snow. Purely because of the strength of
3:16:06 > 3:16:11that went. The air is very cold as well. That is how it will be only
3:16:11 > 3:16:16for a moment. 10 degrees down on yesterday for some of us. -- on the
3:16:16 > 3:16:22thermometer. Very gusty wind across the western side of the UK. A real
3:16:22 > 3:16:25buffeting from that wind here. Let's take a closer look at where we think
3:16:25 > 3:16:29the most significant snowfall will be. We are not willing to Telstra,
3:16:29 > 3:16:32as we are seeing, but we could have several centimetres building up
3:16:32 > 3:16:40through the day and overnight across parts of Lincolnshire, and also
3:16:40 > 3:16:43across south eastern area. Then there is this big? Still over the
3:16:43 > 3:16:49next time period, when it looks more organised. -- a more organised area
3:16:49 > 3:16:52of snow and rain will form. That is across the Southern half of England
3:16:52 > 3:16:56and South Wales. For the day, when the weather system starts to his
3:16:56 > 3:17:00from the south, showers concern us. But a bit of snow forecast coming
3:17:00 > 3:17:05across the southern half of the country. That is to donate ten and
3:17:05 > 3:17:09into tomorrow morning. Another bitterly cold night because of the
3:17:09 > 3:17:12wind, a penetrating frost, and that is now settling because air is so
3:17:12 > 3:17:15cold on the ground will follow through the course of the day. A
3:17:15 > 3:17:19winter wonderland as we wake up tomorrow across southern and western
3:17:19 > 3:17:23areas. Uncertainty as to how far north that will effect, as well as
3:17:23 > 3:17:28how far east, but another day were it is quite grey and, without too
3:17:28 > 3:17:30much sunshine, which really does help at this time of year, it will
3:17:30 > 3:17:35go even colder I think. Not colder than today, but just as cold.
3:17:35 > 3:17:38Temperatures may be marginally higher, but very little in it. That
3:17:38 > 3:17:43strong winds starting to ease a little across Scotland and later in
3:17:43 > 3:17:46Northern Ireland. Not with us for long. Enough to cause some issues,
3:17:46 > 3:17:49this cold spell, particularly if you're heading out and about. We got
3:17:49 > 3:17:53off the easterly wind into Monday. We started to pick up a northerly
3:17:53 > 3:17:57wind. Not a particularly warm direction, but it will not be as
3:17:57 > 3:18:01cold. We still have the problem with ice.
3:18:01 > 3:18:03Travellers are facing disruption this morning as the "mini beast
3:18:03 > 3:18:06from the east" brings fresh snow and ice warnings to the UK.
3:18:06 > 3:18:08Around 100 flights have been cancelled so far
3:18:08 > 3:18:10and drivers have been told to expect disruption.
3:18:10 > 3:18:12Let's speak to travel expert Simon Calder.
3:18:12 > 3:18:17Good morning, Simon, what is going on there?If you are around, about
3:18:17 > 3:18:2115,000 people, you will have been sold already that your flight to and
3:18:21 > 3:18:25from Heathrow has been cancelled. British Airways alone has cancelled
3:18:25 > 3:18:30over 80 departures. Most of them short haul flights, but also a round
3:18:30 > 3:18:35trip to, one each, to New York and Chicago. On top of that, Air France,
3:18:35 > 3:18:41KLM, Lufthansa, Portugal, as with and there are lenders have also
3:18:41 > 3:18:47cancelled flights. Gatwick Airport says they are already at the moment
3:18:47 > 3:18:52but do check with your airline later because they're expecting problems,
3:18:52 > 3:18:57and London City, all the problems seem to in London. If you're one of
3:18:57 > 3:18:59the other airports, if there is a problem it is only because you're
3:18:59 > 3:19:03trying to get to London. The flight just due in from Edinburgh to London
3:19:03 > 3:19:09city is actually know inside send, which will be a surprise to the
3:19:09 > 3:19:13passengers, I dare say. The pilot as well. Wherever you travelling, you
3:19:13 > 3:19:18should check in advance. I am seeing delays building. Just half an hour
3:19:18 > 3:19:23or so at the moment, mostly to do with problems getting ice of the
3:19:23 > 3:19:26aircraft, but as those build-up during the day, we could see more
3:19:26 > 3:19:31cancellations and I would say the chances are there will be yet more
3:19:31 > 3:19:34cancellations put in after Helen's weather forecast just now for
3:19:34 > 3:19:37tomorrow. The length will probably start letting people know that after
3:19:37 > 3:19:44an early evening, if your flight is affected.
3:19:44 > 3:19:47You say there are lens will let you know, but you never quite trust you
3:19:47 > 3:19:54will be told. What should be be doing if we are travelling? -- say
3:19:54 > 3:19:58they are lens.Check online with the airport to see that your flight is
3:19:58 > 3:20:01operating as you expected to be and be proactive cancellations, which is
3:20:01 > 3:20:06what we have seen at Heathrow, most of the cancellations so far we knew
3:20:06 > 3:20:10about last night. They are simply doing that to reduce the demands on
3:20:10 > 3:20:16those two precious runways and all of the de-icing equipment.
3:20:16 > 3:20:20This morning, we have been talking a lot about Russia and diplomatic
3:20:20 > 3:20:24relations. We have just been told in the last hour 23 diplomats will be
3:20:24 > 3:20:29expelled from Moscow in retaliation to what has happened in the UK.
3:20:29 > 3:20:33There are lots of people who are concerned about travel Russia ahead
3:20:33 > 3:20:38of the World Cup. We also heard that the England captain will be talking
3:20:38 > 3:20:44and addressing some concerns that his team members might be having.
3:20:44 > 3:20:47What are you looking at in terms of travel awareness?The Foreign Office
3:20:47 > 3:20:51this week announced that British people could face harassment in
3:20:51 > 3:20:55Russia. There is clearly building tension at it is possible that if
3:20:55 > 3:21:00you are going out there in the next few weeks that... I do not think,
3:21:00 > 3:21:04from of many visits to Russia, that you will encounter any hostility
3:21:04 > 3:21:07from the Russian people who I have always found very welcoming and
3:21:07 > 3:21:11hospitable. You might find, for example, when you're going through
3:21:11 > 3:21:16passport control but officials will be tougher than normal. Guards are
3:21:16 > 3:21:21not recruited for their charm and a sense of humour, I find, in Russia.
3:21:21 > 3:21:26Beyond that, Dan Walker was expressing concerns about 40 minutes
3:21:26 > 3:21:29ago about safety. I would not have particular concerns about personal
3:21:29 > 3:21:35safety. I think it is a moral question, whether by going very few
3:21:35 > 3:21:39are somehow lending support to a propaganda exercise. Having said all
3:21:39 > 3:21:43that, I cannot wait to go. I have already got my IDE! That is going to
3:21:43 > 3:21:49entitle me to get into Russia without a visa, and there are still
3:21:49 > 3:21:52tickets available for the first two England games. Personally, I am all
3:21:52 > 3:21:56in favour of it. I think it will help to build bridges with the
3:21:56 > 3:21:59Russian people, rather than being actually counter-productive. But
3:21:59 > 3:22:02everybody has to make their own decision.
3:22:02 > 3:22:08You have made your view very clear! Simon, thank you very much.
3:22:08 > 3:22:19You're watching Breakfast. Temporary look at the newspapers.
3:22:19 > 3:22:24Events move fast, don't say. Between the time we last saw you, we now
3:22:24 > 3:22:28know about the expulsions, the diplomats, the British diplomats in
3:22:28 > 3:22:33Moscow, will be expelled within a week. 23 exactly. You are taking us
3:22:33 > 3:22:39back in your first story to some of the issues around this?Well, you
3:22:39 > 3:22:42talk about events moving fast, but apparently until now, things did not
3:22:42 > 3:22:48generally move fast in his would-be cathedral city of Salisbury. The FT,
3:22:48 > 3:22:52Salisbury turns into ground zero of UK- Russia trail. It was Boris
3:22:52 > 3:22:56Johnson yesterday saying that this was the first chemical weapons
3:22:56 > 3:23:00attack on European soil since the Second World War. A very unlikely
3:23:00 > 3:23:06setting. Some rather touching anecdotal interviews from people in
3:23:06 > 3:23:13Salisbury. One shop manager of a shop called Crystal's knows
3:23:13 > 3:23:16everything there is to know now about Novichok, whether you can
3:23:16 > 3:23:20dissolve it in water, its expulsion characteristics. This has shocked
3:23:20 > 3:23:25the citizens of an unassuming pretty English city, and, interestingly,
3:23:25 > 3:23:28one that we associate with Thomas Hardy novel and John Constable
3:23:28 > 3:23:33paintings. I found this quite amusing, one visitor, because it is
3:23:33 > 3:23:36swamped with International journalists at the moment, as one
3:23:36 > 3:23:40local said you are not too bored, are you? Just checking there was
3:23:40 > 3:23:44enough for them to do. There was enough for them to do. Very unlikely
3:23:44 > 3:23:47scenes, with its looking like the service of planet Mars with tents
3:23:47 > 3:23:52popping up. Also caught my eye. We referred earlier to Boris Johnson
3:23:52 > 3:23:55and him overstepping the line, directly implicating Vladimir Putin,
3:23:55 > 3:24:01which had not been done by Number Ten. Also noting that Jeremy Corbyn,
3:24:01 > 3:24:05in the soup potentially this week. There may be resignations from the
3:24:05 > 3:24:11Shadow Cabinet. A lot of them, three at least, significant players, I
3:24:11 > 3:24:16Smith for instance, are very unhappy with the way in which there has been
3:24:16 > 3:24:20constructive ambiguity from the Labour leadership indirectly
3:24:20 > 3:24:25accusing Russia. Constructive ambiguity, up until now, seems to
3:24:25 > 3:24:29have worked very much in his favour with Brexit, but we are crying out,
3:24:29 > 3:24:33are we not, for some proper leadership from the opposition.
3:24:33 > 3:24:38Constructive ambiguity grins the Kremlin? I am unsure. If we could
3:24:38 > 3:24:44now stick with the terrorist theme, briefly. I am going to take you to
3:24:44 > 3:24:50the Daily Mail, who I feel that slightly... The double page spread
3:24:50 > 3:24:53in the Mail. Refugee who hated Britain.
3:24:53 > 3:24:59This is actually the version of the story from the Express as well.You
3:24:59 > 3:25:03can see the Mail is very aggrieved, understandably so, that this
3:25:03 > 3:25:06teenager got so much from the British system and yet, you know,
3:25:06 > 3:25:11repeat them with murderous intent. But I feel the real journalistic
3:25:11 > 3:25:16story here is how did a boy, a lot, we are talking a teenager, who was
3:25:16 > 3:25:21in touch with charities, emigration, was on this anti-radicalisation
3:25:21 > 3:25:24programme, in a skill, not just monitored that awarded for his
3:25:24 > 3:25:28academic achievements, slipped through the net and concoct a bomb
3:25:28 > 3:25:33and detonated in broad daylight? It does not bored too well for handling
3:25:33 > 3:25:38of the Kremlin. That is the question that needs to be asked by a proper
3:25:38 > 3:25:48journalists. Page of the newspaper is this
3:25:48 > 3:25:52101-year-old woman who has come out of seclusion to sue over a
3:25:52 > 3:25:57docudrama.I have spent the past two years with six women over 100 for a
3:25:57 > 3:26:01bit and I know that the body weathers but the eagle must resist
3:26:01 > 3:26:07what is the point? Although they are to have a land -- she is really
3:26:07 > 3:26:13putting her point across at the age of 101. The depiction of her in a
3:26:13 > 3:26:23docudrama, Viewed, which features Betty Davis and her sister she
3:26:23 > 3:26:26doesn't the misappropriation of what happened. She is incidentally played
3:26:26 > 3:26:31by Catherine Zeta Jones. They refer to recalling her sister the word we
3:26:31 > 3:26:35would use for a female dog. It has not gone down well, and the court
3:26:35 > 3:26:38hearing starts in Los Angeles in Monday. The reason this is
3:26:38 > 3:26:43significant beyond a demonstration of them available in extreme old age
3:26:43 > 3:26:46is that it could have extreme implications for the way in which we
3:26:46 > 3:26:52depict real people in a fictional drama. The Krona is a big example,
3:26:52 > 3:26:54for instance. Actually, does this mean in future they have always got
3:26:54 > 3:27:02to be authorised by the people in those films? Unless they are dead.I
3:27:02 > 3:27:07am intrigued as to what you have learned from hanging out with, is at
3:27:07 > 3:27:13six women over 100 years old?I have learned that it is not just about
3:27:13 > 3:27:19living, it is about living well. You need genetic luck, good genes, but
3:27:19 > 3:27:23all of these women, there is no one bullet. Some have great families,
3:27:23 > 3:27:26great Church, some have great professional interest, but it is
3:27:26 > 3:27:31about remaining relevant. Not being too judgmental, keeping up with
3:27:31 > 3:27:33contemporary events and staying engaged with your community. You
3:27:33 > 3:27:40will be rewarded antics -- in extreme old age if you stay engaged
3:27:40 > 3:27:44with your community. Once your 100, that is a community 50 years younger
3:27:44 > 3:27:47than you. I have learned a huge amount. Also not to look at what you
3:27:47 > 3:27:52do not have but to be grateful for what you have. As you get older,
3:27:52 > 3:27:55there is lost, so you have to hold onto what you have.
3:27:55 > 3:28:00On that philosophical thought, I think we are done!I was going to go
3:28:00 > 3:28:04to another oldie, but no time! We are going to talk to Matt, he was
3:28:04 > 3:28:09taking
3:28:09 > 3:28:12taking over BBC One with Saturday Kitchen. We have been talking about
3:28:12 > 3:28:19fish.Have you?Yes, we have been asked to look at mackerel and dab.
3:28:19 > 3:28:26Sustainability.Do you want this big discussion now?Why not? No, you
3:28:26 > 3:28:31just tell us what is going on.Can I just say hello to test? She wrote a
3:28:31 > 3:28:36lovely article on me recently, so thank you very much.Hold on a
3:28:36 > 3:28:40minute, she wants to say something. He is in this magazine looking
3:28:40 > 3:28:46resplendent in Chef's whites. I want to know what colour he is going to
3:28:46 > 3:28:50kick in in future.Not white! Very unforgiving. Enough of my dress
3:28:50 > 3:28:55code. A lot about St Patrick's Day today, obviously, and our special
3:28:55 > 3:29:03guest is the fantastic Amanda Redmond.Lovely to be sure.What is
3:29:03 > 3:29:11your idea of food heaven?Curry. I love curries, love them.And what
3:29:11 > 3:29:20about hell?I do not like couscous. Look at that face!And I do not like
3:29:20 > 3:29:26fatty meat.OK, good, good. We have also got two more at...I really do
3:29:26 > 3:29:33not like fatty meat.I get it! Helping us celebrate St Patrick's
3:29:33 > 3:29:39Day, what will you cook?Some beautiful lamb, with some potato,
3:29:39 > 3:29:48whiskey and toasted oatmeal. No fat on the LAN!He has treated a lot.
3:29:48 > 3:29:55What is on the menu, how is it? Rainbow trout with chorizo, muscles
3:29:55 > 3:29:59and tomato salsa.That is one of your favourites.A bit of Spanish
3:29:59 > 3:30:04sulphur for this lovely weather.And we have also got drinks. You guys at
3:30:04 > 3:30:09home are in charge of Amanda's food heaven or hell at the end of the
3:30:09 > 3:30:15show. See you at 10am. Thank you very much. The headlines
3:30:15 > 3:30:16coming up in just a moment.
3:30:46 > 3:30:51Hello, this is Breakfast with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt.
3:30:51 > 3:30:59Coming up before 10.00am.
3:30:59 > 3:31:02John will have all the latest in the sport and Helen will have the
3:31:02 > 3:31:04weather.
3:31:04 > 3:31:07First a summary of this morning's main news.
3:31:07 > 3:31:09Within the last few hours, Russia has ordered twenty-three
3:31:09 > 3:31:11British diplomats to leave the country in retaliation
3:31:11 > 3:31:15for the expulsion of the same number of Russians from the UK earlier this
3:31:15 > 3:31:16week.
3:31:16 > 3:31:18It comes almost a fortnight after the nerve agent attack
3:31:18 > 3:31:26on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal and his daugher.
3:31:27 > 3:31:32We can speak now to Richard Galpin who is in Moscow.
3:31:32 > 3:31:38There has been a series of events. It began with the UK ambassador to
3:31:38 > 3:31:46Russia being summoned?Yes, that is right. The ambassador was summoned
3:31:46 > 3:31:51to the ministry here in Moscow. We now know that that meeting was
3:31:51 > 3:31:54inside the building was very short. He was therefore little more than
3:31:54 > 3:31:59ten minutes. He was handed the list of measures that Russia was going to
3:31:59 > 3:32:03implement in retaliation to what Britain has done, and as you say,
3:32:03 > 3:32:07that list includes 23 British diplomats being expelled from this
3:32:07 > 3:32:12country, expelled from the embassy, and that will take place, or has to
3:32:12 > 3:32:21take place within a week. They have gone further. They are also saying
3:32:21 > 3:32:25that the British Consulate in St Petersburg affectively will have two
3:32:25 > 3:32:33C is operating. It is quite a big operation. St Petersburg is Russia's
3:32:33 > 3:32:37the second biggest city. That affects people getting visas to come
3:32:37 > 3:32:41to Britain. They are also stopping the operation of the British Council
3:32:41 > 3:32:49in this country. That provides a lot of cultural activities, language
3:32:49 > 3:32:56learning for Russians, again. This is similar to what faded after the
3:32:56 > 3:33:00tit-for-tat following the murder of Alexander lit the new anchor in
3:33:00 > 3:33:102006.
3:33:13 > 3:33:18-- Litvinienko. He said that Britain had to act after the poisoning in
3:33:18 > 3:33:25Salisbury two weeks ago.We need to defend our allies and our values
3:33:25 > 3:33:30against an attack of this sort, which is a threat not only on the
3:33:30 > 3:33:34United Kingdom, but the system on which all countries, including
3:33:34 > 3:33:41Russia depend for their safety and security.What has also been said by
3:33:41 > 3:33:49Russia is that if now Britain does impose further measures on Russia,
3:33:49 > 3:33:54Russia will reciprocate once again. So, there is a possibility of this
3:33:54 > 3:33:58escalating, but obviously, we have got to wait and see how both sides
3:33:58 > 3:34:08play this out, now.OK, so there will be a close focus
3:34:08 > 3:34:11will be a close focus on the responses and how measured they are.
3:34:11 > 3:34:15There was also the stopping of the opening incident Petersburg as well.
3:34:15 > 3:34:20The Consulate general.Yes, that's right. It exists already. It is
3:34:20 > 3:34:27important. It is in St Petersburg which is a really key city. The
3:34:27 > 3:34:31country's second city. It obviously affects Russians who want to get
3:34:31 > 3:34:40visas to come to Britain. From now on, they would have to come to
3:34:40 > 3:34:44Moscow for example, to sort out visas. It does make it more
3:34:44 > 3:34:48difficult for Russians, and of course, we have got to wait and see
3:34:48 > 3:34:53what is going to happen. Is this tit-for-tat exchange now going to be
3:34:53 > 3:34:57a calming down, or will there be further measures, or not. The other
3:34:57 > 3:35:01factor that we have got to take into account is of course the murder
3:35:01 > 3:35:09investigation into Nikolai Glushov. They are investigating it as a
3:35:09 > 3:35:16murder. He was another Russian dissident. Somebody who had gained
3:35:16 > 3:35:24asylum in this country.
3:35:24 > 3:35:27asylum in this country.They have said that at this stage there is no
3:35:27 > 3:35:39link between those two incidents. The one between...
3:35:39 > 3:35:41Police have launched a murder investigation after two women
3:35:41 > 3:35:43were shot and killed at a house in East Sussex.
3:35:43 > 3:35:46Officers were called to an address in St Leonards-on-Sea last night.
3:35:46 > 3:35:47A man has been arrested.
3:35:47 > 3:35:51A man has been arrested.
3:35:51 > 3:35:55Police say they are not looking for anybody else in connection with the
3:35:55 > 3:35:57shooting.
3:35:57 > 3:36:00The Met Office is issuing an amber warning for snow and ice in much
3:36:00 > 3:36:03of England and parts of Scotland, ahead of another cold snap.
3:36:03 > 3:36:05More than 100 flights to and from Heathrow have been
3:36:05 > 3:36:07cancelled ahead of predicted bad weather dubbed the Mini
3:36:07 > 3:36:08beast from the east.
3:36:08 > 3:36:10Highways England is advising motorists to avoid
3:36:10 > 3:36:11trans-Pennine roads.
3:36:11 > 3:36:14It might have been panned by some critics, but Hugh Jackman's movie
3:36:14 > 3:36:16musical 'The Greatest Showman' continues to dominate
3:36:16 > 3:36:19the cinema and music charts - sitting at the top of the UK album
3:36:19 > 3:36:25chart for 10 weeks.
3:36:25 > 3:36:32# So tell me where do you want to go...
3:36:32 > 3:36:36# So tell me where do you want to go...#
3:36:36 > 3:36:37The film is loosely
3:36:37 > 3:36:39based on the life of circus impresario PT
3:36:39 > 3:36:40Barnum, AKA the greatest showman.
3:36:40 > 3:36:43The only other album that's managed to spend longer at the top spot
3:36:43 > 3:36:46in the UK in the last 30 years is Adele's 21, which managed
3:36:46 > 3:36:4811 weeks at the top.
3:36:48 > 3:36:49Those are the main stories this morning.
3:36:49 > 3:36:53They are. Hold. We have been hearing that it is really, really cold.
3:36:53 > 3:37:00Morning, John. A bit of snow at Twickenham. I think I can see it is
3:37:00 > 3:37:05still quite drizzly, there, as well. Yes, it doesn't look great,
3:37:05 > 3:37:07actually.
3:37:07 > 3:37:09So, can Ireland complete the Grand Slam today?
3:37:09 > 3:37:12They'll have to do it at Twickenham, where England haven't lost
3:37:12 > 3:37:14a match under Eddie Jones - our Sports Correspondent Olly
3:37:14 > 3:37:22Foster is there for us - tough one to call this Olly?
3:37:30 > 3:37:37It is absolutely freezing. The ground staff, bless them. It is
3:37:37 > 3:37:45always busy. But, look at this. Blue line at Twickenham, just in case,
3:37:45 > 3:37:51the snow just settles. So, blue lines. That is what they are busy
3:37:51 > 3:37:56doing now. So that we can see whether those tries are scored or
3:37:56 > 3:38:01not if eager out of touch. Ireland are going for the grand slam. They
3:38:01 > 3:38:05beat Scotland in Dublin last weekend. That was what was to suck
3:38:05 > 3:38:11the save, that round four of matches. They are unbeaten. They
3:38:11 > 3:38:16just slipped past France. They beat Italy, and the Scots. That put the
3:38:16 > 3:38:20pressure on Eddie Jones' England. England had lost to Scotland
3:38:20 > 3:38:26earlier. Then they went to Paris and they lost. That handed the
3:38:26 > 3:38:30championship to Ireland with a game to spend. Muted celebrations in
3:38:30 > 3:38:35Dublin, because they were having their eyes on the Grand Slam. It is
3:38:35 > 3:38:40all about this match. Can Ireland complete the clean sweep? Certainly
3:38:40 > 3:38:46Eddie Jones' team has gone backwards, were they lose three in a
3:38:46 > 3:38:52row? If they do, then Ireland will secure only their third grand slam.
3:38:52 > 3:38:58Last time they did it was in 2009. All of the pressure is on these
3:38:58 > 3:39:02teams. That hear from both camps. Everybody is aware of the
3:39:02 > 3:39:07significance that it has for Irish rugby and this group of players, but
3:39:07 > 3:39:13it is also very, very exciting. You want to put yourself against the
3:39:13 > 3:39:20best teams.Nothing is perfect in the world. Rugby is an imperfect
3:39:20 > 3:39:27game. Every team has a certain area of weaknesses, and we will be good
3:39:27 > 3:39:33enough to exploit those areas and weaknesses.Well, Eddie Jones has
3:39:33 > 3:39:39made so many changes to his England team. Just the one island change. We
3:39:39 > 3:39:44will get started in Rome, this afternoon. That is where Scotland's
3:39:44 > 3:39:49art against Italy. Italy have already won the wooden spoon. And
3:39:49 > 3:39:54then at five o'clock in Cardiff. That will be the match to decide who
3:39:54 > 3:39:59finishes second. We have got a triple bill, but sandwiched in the
3:39:59 > 3:40:06middle is this grand slam decider. Can Ireland do this? It is Charlie
3:40:06 > 3:40:13in the studio. They say that there is no such thing as bad where the --
3:40:13 > 3:40:21weather, it is just the wrong clothing.Yes, Mike toes are -- my
3:40:21 > 3:40:27toes are cold. I am going on holiday, and hopefully it won't be
3:40:27 > 3:40:33snowing there.You know what they say, there is nothing worse than a
3:40:33 > 3:40:36snug, warm presenter in a studio talking to a presenter doing the
3:40:36 > 3:40:45hard graft on the pitch.Yes, you do. I was just going to say that.He
3:40:45 > 3:40:48need a sheepskin.
3:40:48 > 3:40:51England's women ended their Six Nations with victory over Ireland -
3:40:51 > 3:40:53but they finished runners up to France.
3:40:53 > 3:40:55England won by 33 points to 11 at the Ricoh Arena -
3:40:55 > 3:40:59Danielle Waterman becoming the nation's leading try-scorer
3:40:59 > 3:41:02with 47 now to her name.
3:41:02 > 3:41:05France took the title - and the Grand Slam -
3:41:05 > 3:41:07with victory over Wales.
3:41:07 > 3:41:09ParalympicsGB are still short of their medal target of seven,
3:41:09 > 3:41:12after the penultimate day of the Winter Games in Pyeongchang.
3:41:12 > 3:41:15Scott Meenagh finished 14th in the cross country event
3:41:15 > 3:41:19and James Whitley was 10th in the slalom.
3:41:19 > 3:41:24Britain have won five medals so far, all in the visually impaired alpine
3:41:24 > 3:41:32skiing, and the three British pairs will race again tomorrow.
3:41:37 > 3:41:42It was a frustrating evening for Hibernian. Hibs went ahead in the
3:41:42 > 3:41:49second minute. Had there keeper held out to the final few moments when
3:41:49 > 3:41:58Chris Kane equalised Fulston Johnstone.
3:41:58 > 3:42:01And it seems that Kevin Pietersen might have finally hung up his bat.
3:42:01 > 3:42:02He tweeted "Boots Up.
3:42:02 > 3:42:04Thank you" after playing for Quetta Gladiators
3:42:04 > 3:42:05in the Pakistan Super League.
3:42:05 > 3:42:07The former England captain had indicated the tournament
3:42:07 > 3:42:15would be his last.
3:42:17 > 3:42:22That is all your sportsmen are. Did you happen to catch out of the
3:42:22 > 3:42:26corner of your eye, because I think that Helen was doing a sort of
3:42:26 > 3:42:31skiing action, you were, won't you? I was. I was just saying,
3:42:31 > 3:42:35absolutely.
3:42:35 > 3:42:42Enough snow to be able to ski, or not at all.And the sun was shining.
3:42:42 > 3:42:47It is just bleak. I think that Charlie is having a funny three
3:42:47 > 3:42:52minutes. He has been meaning to Lee after him dressing incorrectly, he
3:42:52 > 3:42:55was revealing that you are doing since gaining motion when we were
3:42:55 > 3:43:01off-camera. I think it is nice. It is nice to get involved. She is
3:43:01 > 3:43:05getting involved, enacting what is going on. Yes, I am a little bit
3:43:05 > 3:43:09worried that Ollie has not been listening to the forecast, actually.
3:43:09 > 3:43:18I have definitely got my path that jacket. It is bitter, it is really
3:43:18 > 3:43:23cold. Well, we need to listen to what you have to say, because it is
3:43:23 > 3:43:26changing all the time. And there are destructions to travel.
3:43:32 > 3:43:37We are seeing snow here in London, and is not settling on the roads,
3:43:37 > 3:43:42but as you can see, a dusting behind me in Cambridge. A dusting in part
3:43:42 > 3:43:47of supper, and parts of ethics. I apologise that I have not been able
3:43:47 > 3:43:51to get more weather watchers on this afternoon. So much whether going on.
3:43:51 > 3:43:58Let's have a look at why this is changing. These Atlantic mild winds,
3:43:58 > 3:44:01and this high-pressure thinking that has allowed the Siberian winds back
3:44:01 > 3:44:05across the country, and they are really busting in the snow showers.
3:44:05 > 3:44:09Most of the showers are now falling as snow, and what we have in the
3:44:09 > 3:44:14south is now turning to sleet and snow, as well. It will settle, it is
3:44:14 > 3:44:18settling in the gardens come on the pavements, and it will turn quite
3:44:18 > 3:44:23icy, and it will be a bitterly cold afternoon. The winds are really
3:44:23 > 3:44:28buffeting across the western side. It will feel even colder, than those
3:44:28 > 3:44:34temperatures on the them on to suggest. Even those are some 10
3:44:34 > 3:44:39degrees down compared with yesterday, can but it will feel
3:44:39 > 3:44:45colder. It has been miles this week. Please take note. Let's take a
3:44:45 > 3:44:50closer look at where we are expecting some of the most
3:44:50 > 3:44:57destructive snowfall. Midlands into Lincolnshire, and across southern
3:44:57 > 3:45:02and eastern parts of England. The showers will keep coming quick and
3:45:02 > 3:45:07fast as the day goes on. Potential to see some thing more widespread to
3:45:07 > 3:45:13come, rather than the showers, which will come one after the other, but
3:45:13 > 3:45:17others will escape. For the south, big area of snow comes in, so it
3:45:17 > 3:45:22will affect a more wide spread area. We are talking seven centimetres,
3:45:22 > 3:45:28and that strong wind will blow the snow around, so blizzards and poor
3:45:28 > 3:45:31visibility will add to the snow settling out the eyes, because it is
3:45:31 > 3:45:41really cold, are the -- overnight. It could be that we wake up to a
3:45:41 > 3:45:45winter wonderland, Torah. There is still uncertainty as to how far
3:45:45 > 3:45:51north and east it is going to affect, but it will take much of the
3:45:51 > 3:45:55warning to be drought. That is obviously going to cause significant
3:45:55 > 3:46:02problems, as well as more showers backing in. It is already going to
3:46:02 > 3:46:06-- started to deteriorate because North Yorkshire. We have still got
3:46:06 > 3:46:09that biting easterly wind. We will see more snow to night, tonight
3:46:09 > 3:46:15actually across the central lowlands of Scotland. That easterly wind will
3:46:15 > 3:46:19get cut off as we go into Monday. We will get more of a northerly wind.
3:46:19 > 3:46:26We can argue that that is not a... Slightly warmer, but we will have
3:46:26 > 3:46:33that problem at night that things will 's freeze. We will have wintry
3:46:33 > 3:46:39problems were another two or three days, actually. OK, Helen. You make
3:46:39 > 3:46:45sure that you are that up warm as I will too. Enjoy it, thanks. Hot
3:46:45 > 3:46:50water bottle. Yes, exactly.
3:46:51 > 3:46:53Britain's department stores used to be the height
3:46:53 > 3:46:54of luxury and service.
3:46:54 > 3:46:56If you needed anything from clothing to electricals or food,
3:46:56 > 3:46:58they were the place to go.
3:46:58 > 3:47:00But today they face fierce competition in all categories,
3:47:00 > 3:47:02as online retailers offer everything a customer wants at
3:47:02 > 3:47:03the click of a button.
3:47:03 > 3:47:05Radio 4's Consumer reporter Samantha Fenwick has been finding
3:47:05 > 3:47:10out how department stores are trying to fighting back.
3:47:10 > 3:47:14George Davies has been called a serial brand creator,
3:47:14 > 3:47:16a fashion visionary, the king of the high street.
3:47:16 > 3:47:18They are very Abba, these, aren't they?
3:47:18 > 3:47:20Yes, very Abba.
3:47:20 > 3:47:22I was too young to remember Abba.
3:47:22 > 3:47:30He was the man behind Next and M&S.
3:47:44 > 3:47:46When we started, there were 400 spots.
3:47:46 > 3:47:49By the time ago to the 1990s, when I starting George and ASDA,
3:47:49 > 3:47:51I already knew parking was a real problem.
3:47:51 > 3:47:54So you could see that there was, at that point, decline
3:47:54 > 3:47:55in the high street.
3:47:55 > 3:47:56Yes, sure.
3:47:56 > 3:47:57It was obvious.
3:47:57 > 3:47:59George left M&S in 2008, vowing never to return
3:47:59 > 3:48:00to the high street.
3:48:00 > 3:48:03He said it was no longer a place to make money.
3:48:03 > 3:48:06Ten years on, and he has changed his mind.
3:48:06 > 3:48:09His new line of women's and children's clothing will be
3:48:09 > 3:48:12in the shops next week.
3:48:12 > 3:48:14So why the change of heart?
3:48:14 > 3:48:17Rents are high, business rates are high, but dealers own a lot
3:48:17 > 3:48:20of their properties.
3:48:20 > 3:48:22Probably 70%, they own it, so that takes quite a high risk
3:48:22 > 3:48:24out of it.
3:48:24 > 3:48:25But not all department stores are that lucky.
3:48:25 > 3:48:28This is London's Oxford Street.
3:48:28 > 3:48:32It is where all the big names have their flagship stores.
3:48:32 > 3:48:35But the buildings are big, with too much unprofitable space.
3:48:35 > 3:48:36House of Fraser have asked their landlords
3:48:36 > 3:48:39to reduce their rent, and the likes of Debenhams and Marks
3:48:39 > 3:48:40& Spencer's are closing stores completely.
3:48:40 > 3:48:46Costs are going up for retailers, and shoppers want to go online
3:48:46 > 3:48:47because it offers convenience.
3:48:47 > 3:48:50They can get the lowest prices, and they get the lowest prices
3:48:50 > 3:48:53because those operators don't have the same kind of costs
3:48:53 > 3:48:56as a physical store.
3:48:56 > 3:48:59The Government is concerned about the state of the UK's high street.
3:48:59 > 3:49:02It has just set up a special panel to investigate how best to adapt
3:49:02 > 3:49:07to the changes in the way we shop.
3:49:07 > 3:49:10It is being led by Richard Pennycook, the chairman
3:49:10 > 3:49:17of department store Fenwick.
3:49:17 > 3:49:20Department stores are about theatre and service, and those are things
3:49:20 > 3:49:21that can't be replicated online.
3:49:21 > 3:49:24So I think there's a really good future for department stores,
3:49:24 > 3:49:27but it's all about making sure that we're providing something different,
3:49:27 > 3:49:29which makes the visit worthwhile.
3:49:29 > 3:49:33It will have to be something very different to get us off the internet
3:49:33 > 3:49:41and into the high street.
3:49:54 > 3:49:56Beer, green hats, shamrocks and celebratory shenanigans...
3:49:56 > 3:49:58It can only mean one thing - St Patricks day!
3:49:58 > 3:50:01And it's not just the Irish commemorating the Patron of Ireland,
3:50:01 > 3:50:05it's thought to be the most celebrated festival in the world.
3:50:05 > 3:50:08Let's have a look at what we can expect.
3:50:08 > 3:50:16IRISH MUSIC PLAYS
3:50:16 > 3:50:19IRISH MUSIC PLAYS
3:50:53 > 3:51:00The biggest St Patrick's day parade will be taking place in New York
3:51:00 > 3:51:02and is expected to attract around 200 million spectators.
3:51:02 > 3:51:04Joining us from New York is event organiser Nial Gibbons,
3:51:04 > 3:51:08Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland and on the sofa is Derek Ryan,
3:51:08 > 3:51:14Irish Country music singer.
3:51:14 > 3:51:21How are you. Happy St Patrick's Day. But will you be doing today.I am
3:51:21 > 3:51:26going to be in London, tonight. We are bringing Irish country music to
3:51:26 > 3:51:31the capital. We look for two that. We look forward to some music at the
3:51:31 > 3:51:34end of the programme, as well. Being marked across the world, why do
3:51:34 > 3:51:39think it is so popular? Sow well, good morning. And a happy Saint
3:51:39 > 3:51:42Patrick's Day from an early start here in New York City. I think it is
3:51:42 > 3:51:49very popular because there are millions of people around the world
3:51:49 > 3:51:53that claim Irish ancestry. It is personified here in New York City
3:51:53 > 3:51:56with the biggest St Patrick's Day of the lot. There will be 2 million on
3:51:56 > 3:52:02the streets. Even the lights on the street are painted green for the
3:52:02 > 3:52:09occasion. Is that true, 2 million people? That is extremely!Yes. The
3:52:09 > 3:52:17parade will start. It is the biggest elevation of Irish is around the
3:52:17 > 3:52:21globe. No better place to have it, although you could say that it is
3:52:21 > 3:52:24the second best place in the world to be, the best place in the world
3:52:24 > 3:52:29to be sticking to what is Ireland's win the grand slam.Very good point.
3:52:29 > 3:52:35Is it true that lots of New Yorkers claim I was ancestry. A lot of
3:52:35 > 3:52:41people claim it, is it a badge of honour?It really is. The official
3:52:41 > 3:52:45figures are 34 million people at the 300 million in the United States
3:52:45 > 3:52:50take an Irish pots and pans of their ancestry. It is the biggest ethnic
3:52:50 > 3:52:55group in the United States. It is a day that everybody wants to
3:52:55 > 3:52:58celebrate. They are renowned for having a good party, but this is a
3:52:58 > 3:53:01day for everybody, and it is not just for the Irish. 2 million people
3:53:01 > 3:53:05will be on the streets of the Avenue, and no matter what day of
3:53:05 > 3:53:13the week, it shows the powerful influence of the Irish. It is a
3:53:13 > 3:53:17great celebration. Look at what other countries are doing over the
3:53:17 > 3:53:21world. Lighting up global icons. It really affects on the work that
3:53:21 > 3:53:26Irish missionaries for example have done. It really is a great tribute
3:53:26 > 3:53:30to our patron saint that we can sell rate in this way.Derek, what
3:53:30 > 3:53:37doesn't that they mean to you. We know what side he is supporting the
3:53:37 > 3:53:43rugby, but what does it mean to you? It is a family day, really. Music is
3:53:43 > 3:53:49a big part of it as well. I was the Leeds Triangle player when I was
3:53:49 > 3:53:54young. It was an important job at the time. We went to all sorts of
3:53:54 > 3:53:58parades, the colour and the festivities. It is a day to spend
3:53:58 > 3:54:03with family and fellow Brit anything Irish.I always thought that if you
3:54:03 > 3:54:07had no musical gift whatsoever, you are given the triangle.Probably,
3:54:07 > 3:54:16yes.Percussion is a very important part. I am not disputing that.
3:54:16 > 3:54:21Keeping everybody in time, though. Music is very important. It goes
3:54:21 > 3:54:26hand-in-hand with the celebrations, why is that?It is a big part of our
3:54:26 > 3:54:31country. -- culture. Country was it for me, is really enjoying a boost
3:54:31 > 3:54:35in popularity at the moment, with so many young country singers coming
3:54:35 > 3:54:41out. There is not a dance hall at home, in Ireland and not a whole and
3:54:41 > 3:54:45in town or village that doesn't have dance lessons or Irish dance
3:54:45 > 3:54:50lessons, so, it is a big part of our country, -- culture, and everyone
3:54:50 > 3:54:55will hear a lot of Irish visit this weekend.And you know all about
3:54:55 > 3:55:01these beds of Irish culture around the world. Often this will be most
3:55:01 > 3:55:05visible in Irish pubs. They are everywhere?Note written about it.
3:55:05 > 3:55:16Is it everywhere around the globe. Even China, pubs with great names.
3:55:16 > 3:55:22It is a great base for Irish people, but it is a great stage, today,
3:55:22 > 3:55:26particularly when everybody can be Irish in some and the Irish music
3:55:26 > 3:55:31scene. From the last couple of years, there is a country connection
3:55:31 > 3:55:37with Ireland. There is a nice addition there.We are going to give
3:55:37 > 3:55:42you a little quiz. Quite unfairly. What was the original column is
3:55:42 > 3:55:47associated with Saint Patrick was mac Green was considered unlucky.
3:55:47 > 3:55:59Erm...Blue. Did you know that? I didn't actually been.
3:56:05 > 3:56:10It is. And in Chicago, they go so far as to die the river Kelly in
3:56:10 > 3:56:17Chicago green. It is amazing the extent to which we will will go to
3:56:17 > 3:56:21celebrate.That is the Chicago plumbers union. They have got a
3:56:21 > 3:56:26secret formula. It is done every year. It is a spectacular thing. It
3:56:26 > 3:56:32is an amazing thing to see. Maybe we should die the Thames green.Oh, no.
3:56:32 > 3:56:38Thank you so much. Good luck with your gift tonight, Derek. We have
3:56:38 > 3:56:42been asking you to let us know how you have been enjoying your St
3:56:42 > 3:56:45Patrick's Day.
3:56:45 > 3:56:53From dogs in hats to cake baking, here are some of your pictures.
3:56:56 > 3:57:04IRISH MUSIC PLAYS
3:57:38 > 3:57:43A lot of dogs and hats. What else do you do but put a hat in its? Why
3:57:43 > 3:57:47not? Exactly. Just keep celebrating. Do enjoy your St Patrick's Day if
3:57:47 > 3:57:49you are celebrating.
3:57:49 > 3:57:55That's all from us today, I'll be back with Christian
3:57:55 > 3:58:03tomorrow from 6.00am.
3:58:03 > 3:58:11Now to play us out...
