Hello, this is Breakfast,
with Charlie Stayt and Naga | 0:00:06 | 0:00:08 | |
Munchetty. | 0:00:08 | 0:00:09 | |
Police investigating the murder
of a businessman in London begin | 0:00:09 | 0:00:12 | |
contacting other Russian exiles
to discuss their personal | 0:00:12 | 0:00:14 | |
safety in Britain. | 0:00:14 | 0:00:19 | |
Forensic teams have been working
through the night to find out | 0:00:19 | 0:00:22 | |
what happened to Nikolai Glushkov,
who was found dead on Monday. | 0:00:22 | 0:00:30 | |
Good morning, it's
Saturday 17 March. | 0:00:38 | 0:00:41 | |
Also this morning: Police launch
a murder investigation after two | 0:00:41 | 0:00:45 | |
women are shot dead
at a house in East Sussex. | 0:00:45 | 0:00:49 | |
100 flights are cancelled
and drivers are told to expect | 0:00:49 | 0:00:52 | |
disruption, as the "mini beast
from the east" sweeps in. | 0:00:52 | 0:01:00 | |
It will be a shock to the system to
many of us today, as the Siberian | 0:01:00 | 0:01:04 | |
air returns, ringing a sheet of ice
and snow, there are numerous | 0:01:04 | 0:01:09 | |
warnings out including amber
warnings, from the Met Office, and I | 0:01:09 | 0:01:14 | |
will tell you more in about 15
minutes. | 0:01:14 | 0:01:16 | |
In sport, the St Patrick's Day party
heads for Twickenham. | 0:01:16 | 0:01:19 | |
Ireland know they're Six Nations
champions already but victory over | 0:01:19 | 0:01:22 | |
England would give
them the Grand Slam. | 0:01:22 | 0:01:29 | |
First, police investigating
the murder of a Russian man | 0:01:29 | 0:01:32 | |
in London say
they have begun contacting other | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Russian exiles in Britain
to discuss their safety. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:36 | |
Forensics teams have continued
working at the home of 68-year | 0:01:36 | 0:01:41 | |
Forensics teams have continued
working at the home of 68-year-old | 0:01:41 | 0:01:44 | |
Nikolai Glushkov, who was
found dead on Monday. | 0:01:44 | 0:01:46 | |
But police say at this stage,
it is not being connected | 0:01:46 | 0:01:49 | |
to the poisoning of former
Russian spy Sergei Skripal | 0:01:49 | 0:01:51 | |
and his daughter in Salisbury. | 0:01:51 | 0:01:53 | |
John McManus reports. | 0:01:53 | 0:01:54 | |
68-year-old Nikolai Glushkov, found
dead at his home on this unassuming | 0:01:54 | 0:01:59 | |
road in Southwest London on Monday.
But Mr Glushkov's life was anything | 0:01:59 | 0:02:06 | |
but ordinary. The postmortem has
revealed he was murdered, killed by | 0:02:06 | 0:02:11 | |
compression to the next. Unusually
counterterrorism police are leading | 0:02:11 | 0:02:16 | |
the -- investigation because of Mr
Glushkov's past weeks. In the 90s he | 0:02:16 | 0:02:23 | |
was the director of Russian airline
Aeroflot, but sought political | 0:02:23 | 0:02:29 | |
asylum in the UK and was still being
sued by Russia. He was friends with | 0:02:29 | 0:02:37 | |
Russian businessmen Boris Berezovsky
who was found dead in 2013. An open | 0:02:37 | 0:02:42 | |
verdict was recorded but Mr Glushkov
believed he had been murdered. Some | 0:02:42 | 0:02:50 | |
observers believe it is time to join
the dots. Mr Glushkov's death fits | 0:02:50 | 0:02:57 | |
into a wider pattern of the last 12
years of Russian opponents dropping | 0:02:57 | 0:03:00 | |
dead across Europe. The consequences
for the Kremlin of this were limited | 0:03:00 | 0:03:06 | |
to far too long, the UK response as
recently been much stronger, but | 0:03:06 | 0:03:10 | |
there are still awful lot we could
do. The former PR executive, Lord | 0:03:10 | 0:03:16 | |
Bell, a friend of Mr Glushkov has
told the BBC he suspects he was | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
killed after being deemed a traitor
by the Russian state. Police say | 0:03:20 | 0:03:23 | |
that at present there is no link
between the murder in London and the | 0:03:23 | 0:03:28 | |
poisoning of Sergei Skripal and his
daughter in Salisbury. But some | 0:03:28 | 0:03:31 | |
Russian exiles are being contacted
about their safety. | 0:03:31 | 0:03:35 | |
Our reporter John McManus is outside
the Russian embassy this morning. | 0:03:35 | 0:03:38 | |
John, what's the latest? | 0:03:38 | 0:03:42 | |
Tell us more about the discussions
that police are having with Russian | 0:03:42 | 0:03:45 | |
exiles? They have gone to want some
Russian X-Files to talk to them | 0:03:45 | 0:03:50 | |
about their safety, they say there
is not a definite danger to them but | 0:03:50 | 0:03:55 | |
they want to make them aware that
there may be things going on. That | 0:03:55 | 0:03:59 | |
the dramatic row regarding what
happened to Sergei Skripal and his | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
daughter in Salsbury is still
continuing as well. They were | 0:04:02 | 0:04:08 | |
poisoned using a nerve agent on the
fourth of March, they are both still | 0:04:08 | 0:04:12 | |
critically ill and the Prime
Minister Theresa May is pointing the | 0:04:12 | 0:04:15 | |
finger very firmly at Russia. She
says that 23 Russian diplomats in | 0:04:15 | 0:04:19 | |
the embassy based in the building
behind me will have to leave Britain | 0:04:19 | 0:04:23 | |
as part of Britain's retaliation.
The war of words since begetting | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
worse, you say the Foreign Secretary
Boris Johnson said it was | 0:04:27 | 0:04:30 | |
overwhelmingly likely that the
Russian President Vladimir Putin | 0:04:30 | 0:04:35 | |
personally ordered that attack in
Salsbury. The Russians say that is a | 0:04:35 | 0:04:39 | |
disgusting accusation and they are
angry with Boris Johnson to making | 0:04:39 | 0:04:43 | |
it. They will also probably expels
some British diplomats at some point | 0:04:43 | 0:04:47 | |
from Russia. That could happen at
any point, and they said they are | 0:04:47 | 0:04:51 | |
also going to have their own
investigation into what happened to | 0:04:51 | 0:04:55 | |
Sergei Skripal. These investigations
at the moment between Britain and | 0:04:55 | 0:04:58 | |
Russia are at a very low point, and
it could carry on like this the | 0:04:58 | 0:05:02 | |
sometime to come. Thank you very
much. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:06 | |
Police have launched a murder
investigation after two women | 0:05:06 | 0:05:08 | |
were shot and killed
at a house in East Sussex. | 0:05:08 | 0:05:11 | |
Officers were called to an address
in St Leonards-on-Sea last night. | 0:05:11 | 0:05:14 | |
A man has been arrested. | 0:05:14 | 0:05:15 | |
Marta Newman's report contains
some flashing images. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:21 | |
Officers responded immediately when
they got a report of a shooting at a | 0:05:21 | 0:05:26 | |
house at around 8pm last night. The
road in this seaside town was closed | 0:05:26 | 0:05:32 | |
and local residents were asked to
stay away from the area and remain | 0:05:32 | 0:05:36 | |
indoors. Police say two women aged
32 and 53 were killed. Two other | 0:05:36 | 0:05:44 | |
women including one who is pregnant
were led to safety by officers and | 0:05:44 | 0:05:48 | |
taken to hospital. Both were
uninjured but suffering from shock. | 0:05:48 | 0:05:54 | |
A 35-year-old man has been arrested
on suspicion of murder. He remains | 0:05:54 | 0:05:58 | |
in custody for questioning. Police
have said that it is were known to | 0:05:58 | 0:06:03 | |
the suspect and that they are not
looking for anyone else in | 0:06:03 | 0:06:07 | |
connection with the shooting. | 0:06:07 | 0:06:13 | |
The former deputy director
of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, | 0:06:13 | 0:06:15 | |
has been fired just hours before
he was due to formally retire. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:19 | |
Mr McCabe had faced repeated
criticism from President Trump. | 0:06:19 | 0:06:22 | |
In a statement he said his sacking
had been politically motivated | 0:06:22 | 0:06:25 | |
and claimed it was part of a wider
effort to taint the FBI | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
and intelligence professionals. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:30 | |
The number of hospital admissions
due to older people falling | 0:06:30 | 0:06:33 | |
is expected to rise to nearly 1,000
a day by the end of the decade. | 0:06:33 | 0:06:37 | |
That's according to figures obtained
by the Local Government Association. | 0:06:37 | 0:06:40 | |
It's prompted calls for more funding
for adult social care. | 0:06:40 | 0:06:46 | |
After a fall if someone does not
recover fully they are housebound, | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
they may need to be provided with
home help, meals on wheels, and it | 0:06:51 | 0:06:56 | |
can also have wider impacts on
health, and it is often a case that | 0:06:56 | 0:06:59 | |
when a person has a serious fall it
is one of the things that's liberate | 0:06:59 | 0:07:04 | |
-- precipitate the slickly slope of
them becoming housebound. -- | 0:07:04 | 0:07:08 | |
slippery slope. | 0:07:08 | 0:07:11 | |
More than 100 flights
to and from Heathrow have been | 0:07:11 | 0:07:14 | |
cancelled ahead of predicted bad
weather dubbed "the mini beast | 0:07:14 | 0:07:17 | |
from the east." | 0:07:17 | 0:07:17 | |
The Met Office has issued an amber
warning for snow and ice in much | 0:07:17 | 0:07:21 | |
of England and parts of Scotland
ahead of another cold snap. | 0:07:21 | 0:07:24 | |
Highways England is advising | 0:07:24 | 0:07:25 | |
motorists to avoid trans-Pennine
roads. | 0:07:25 | 0:07:27 | |
Tens of thousands of people have
been fleeing the northern Syrian | 0:07:27 | 0:07:30 | |
town of Afrin, as Turkish forces
fight a US-backed Kurdish militia | 0:07:30 | 0:07:33 | |
that it considers a terrorist group. | 0:07:33 | 0:07:34 | |
The UN estimates that almost 50,000
people have been displaced | 0:07:34 | 0:07:37 | |
in the last few days,
with reports from the area that | 0:07:37 | 0:07:40 | |
dozens of people were killed
in air strikes on Friday. | 0:07:40 | 0:07:43 | |
At least eight people have been
injured after a faulty ski lift | 0:07:43 | 0:07:46 | |
threw people from their seats
at a mountain resort in Georgia. | 0:07:46 | 0:07:49 | |
Skiers and snowboarders
were flung off at speed, | 0:07:49 | 0:07:54 | |
Skiers and snowboarders
were flung off at speed, | 0:07:54 | 0:07:54 | |
and others were forced to jump
from the chairlift as their seats | 0:07:54 | 0:07:58 | |
hurtled backwards down the mountain. | 0:07:58 | 0:08:01 | |
So far no cause has been given
as to what caused it | 0:08:01 | 0:08:04 | |
to malfunction. | 0:08:04 | 0:08:08 | |
to malfunction. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:09 | |
Three children are being treated
for infections that may be linked | 0:08:09 | 0:08:12 | |
to bacteria in the water supply
at a Glasgow hospital. | 0:08:12 | 0:08:14 | |
NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde
is investigating after the discovery | 0:08:14 | 0:08:17 | |
at the Royal Hospital for Children. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:19 | |
The source of the bacteria
is not yet known. | 0:08:19 | 0:08:22 | |
It said tests were ongoing to try
confirm if the children's infections | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
are linked to water contamination. | 0:08:26 | 0:08:34 | |
RuPaul has been awarded a star on
the Hollywood walk of Fame. The host | 0:08:38 | 0:08:43 | |
of RuPaul's drag race said it was
the most important moment of his | 0:08:43 | 0:08:49 | |
career. Jane Fonda who presented the
awards it should have been three | 0:08:49 | 0:08:58 | |
times larger. Landmarks across the
globe are turning a shade of green | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
to set -- celebrate St Patrick's
Day. New York and Dublin will host | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
the biggest public parade which will
include live music, a sea of green | 0:09:08 | 0:09:15 | |
and presumably one or two drinks.
Happy St Patrick's Day to all those | 0:09:15 | 0:09:24 | |
celebrating. What we're going to
say? I was going to say time. I was | 0:09:24 | 0:09:32 | |
going to say, let's look at the
papers. The front page of the papers | 0:09:32 | 0:09:36 | |
this morning, the Times, the picture
there is from the Gold cup, | 0:09:36 | 0:09:42 | |
celebrating there, the jockey
celebrating there. The main story is | 0:09:42 | 0:09:50 | |
Oxfam engulfed by a second sex
scandal in earthquake torn Haiti. | 0:09:50 | 0:09:56 | |
The Daily Mirror has taken a look at
the Salsbury scandal, -- at the | 0:09:56 | 0:10:04 | |
child-abuse scandal in Telford,
saying there are 12 more victims. On | 0:10:04 | 0:10:11 | |
the front page of the Daily
Telegraph, a huge picture of Theresa | 0:10:11 | 0:10:15 | |
May, and affordable having scheme on
-- affordable housing scheme on new | 0:10:15 | 0:10:25 | |
estate, the cameras capturing the
moment when she was cuddling a small | 0:10:25 | 0:10:31 | |
baby, the baby 's name is Teddy
Young. The main story is the murder | 0:10:31 | 0:10:35 | |
probe after one of light emitted
in's Dicks was found strangled at | 0:10:35 | 0:10:40 | |
his home. And police advice this
morning to a number of Russian ex- | 0:10:40 | 0:10:44 | |
aisles living in the UK -- exile.
That story also leading the front | 0:10:44 | 0:10:52 | |
page of the Guardian, Russian exile
was murdered, police say. The | 0:10:52 | 0:11:00 | |
picture today is of Olivia De
Havinand, who has brought a case | 0:11:00 | 0:11:12 | |
against the TV company about her
identity. We are waiting slightly to | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
see how the weather is going to be
across the weekend, a lot of | 0:11:17 | 0:11:21 | |
warnings in place as we speak. Helen
will bring | 0:11:21 | 0:11:24 | |
warnings in place as we speak. Helen
will bring is up-to-date. Good | 0:11:24 | 0:11:24 | |
morning to you both. Lots of changes
this weekend, a shock to the system, | 0:11:24 | 0:11:29 | |
this was yesterday's temperatures
across the country, some 10 degrees | 0:11:29 | 0:11:33 | |
more down across southern and
eastern areas. No surprise when I | 0:11:33 | 0:11:38 | |
tell you that we have warnings out,
Campbell warnings from the Met | 0:11:38 | 0:11:43 | |
Office, -- amber warnings. We have
ice issues is morning before those | 0:11:43 | 0:11:48 | |
warnings come into force later this
afternoon. The Siberian air returns, | 0:11:48 | 0:11:52 | |
blasting across the country from the
east and it is because it is a | 0:11:52 | 0:11:56 | |
strong- gale force winds that it
will feel even colder than it has | 0:11:56 | 0:12:00 | |
done this week, is because of that
windchill. We have some winter in | 0:12:00 | 0:12:04 | |
this in our weather system -- wintry
nest in the weather system, pushing | 0:12:04 | 0:12:08 | |
southwards, rein in it but it will
turn into sleet and snow. It is the | 0:12:08 | 0:12:14 | |
showers following that we are
concerned about as we go through the | 0:12:14 | 0:12:17 | |
day, hence the amber warning. There
will be some brightness in the north | 0:12:17 | 0:12:22 | |
of Scotland but very little
sunshine, it will be cloudy and will | 0:12:22 | 0:12:25 | |
feel cold without the strength of
March sunshine. Temperatures are a | 0:12:25 | 0:12:29 | |
lot lower than they have been this
week, perhaps 6-8 in the south-west | 0:12:29 | 0:12:33 | |
because we are getting on to the
mother -- rather mild start. -6 and | 0:12:33 | 0:12:39 | |
-7, the windchill, a real shock
after what we have had full top the | 0:12:39 | 0:12:43 | |
amber warning, we are concerned
about the killer areas, from the Met | 0:12:43 | 0:12:49 | |
Office the north-east of England.
Through the top of England and | 0:12:49 | 0:12:57 | |
through the Thames Valley, and
overnight we're concerned about a | 0:12:57 | 0:13:02 | |
widespread area of slow coming
across southern England in the south | 0:13:02 | 0:13:04 | |
of Wales. Really quite a lot to keep
your eye naturally, if you have | 0:13:04 | 0:13:08 | |
players that today, don't make this
loss forecast C. It is this easterly | 0:13:08 | 0:13:13 | |
wind that is bringing the snow but
we could have something more | 0:13:13 | 0:13:16 | |
significant drifting up from the
south across the southern half of | 0:13:16 | 0:13:19 | |
the country, and there is a lot of
uncertainty as to exactly where and | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
how much we will see Premat. Through
the evening and overnight we keep | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
this easterly wind going, some areas
could see snow showers, because the | 0:13:26 | 0:13:31 | |
error is so cold it will settle and
then it comes together to form a | 0:13:31 | 0:13:37 | |
widespread area so we could see some
fairly significant snow in southern | 0:13:37 | 0:13:39 | |
areas. That could cause some
disruption is. It is blowing the | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
snow around, and clearly with the
sort of temperatures is going to be | 0:13:44 | 0:13:50 | |
icy as well, the fact that we have
snow in the forecast. We are | 0:13:50 | 0:13:54 | |
bringing back winter if you like. As
we go through Sunday that initial | 0:13:54 | 0:14:00 | |
snow clears out of the way but it
will take some time, fewer showers | 0:14:00 | 0:14:04 | |
and ugly for Scotland and Northern
Ireland as we see the high-pressure | 0:14:04 | 0:14:07 | |
sinking in, nevertheless it is not
going to be very warm, it will be | 0:14:07 | 0:14:11 | |
significantly cold day in the south
with that windchill. The main | 0:14:11 | 0:14:15 | |
message from this forecast is that
it is much colder this weekend, | 0:14:15 | 0:14:19 | |
today we have some major rugby
matches on the way and in the | 0:14:19 | 0:14:24 | |
mornings -- warnings which kick in
from the mid-afternoon, amber | 0:14:24 | 0:14:27 | |
warnings for snow. Do stagings to
local radio and our weather website | 0:14:27 | 0:14:33 | |
will have more updates. How much
colder is that we are expecting for | 0:14:33 | 0:14:39 | |
this time of year, we are well into
spring now? The strength of the sun, | 0:14:39 | 0:14:45 | |
if you're out there in the sunshine
you start to feel its effects. So | 0:14:45 | 0:14:49 | |
without that today it will feel even
colder. The average around this time | 0:14:49 | 0:14:53 | |
of year would be double figures
across most of the country. What we | 0:14:53 | 0:14:57 | |
have seen this week is probably more
akin to what we should see, this is | 0:14:57 | 0:15:01 | |
a dramatic drop. But that is not
unusual in March to see snow, we see | 0:15:01 | 0:15:05 | |
snow as late as June here in the UK.
That is not predict that. I'm not | 0:15:05 | 0:15:10 | |
saying that. It is not that unusual
to see topsy-turvy weather at this | 0:15:10 | 0:15:15 | |
time of year, because some are isn't
-- because you get the cold air in | 0:15:15 | 0:15:21 | |
from the Arctic, and we are likely
to see some snow. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:24 | |
Britain's department stores
used to be the height | 0:15:28 | 0:15:31 | |
of luxury and service. | 0:15:31 | 0:15:32 | |
If you needed anything from clothing
to electricals or food, | 0:15:32 | 0:15:34 | |
they were the place to go. | 0:15:34 | 0:15:36 | |
But today, they face fierce
competition in all categories, | 0:15:36 | 0:15:39 | |
as online retailers offer everything
a customer wants at the click | 0:15:39 | 0:15:41 | |
of a button. | 0:15:41 | 0:15:43 | |
Radio 4's consumer reporter
Samantha Fenwick has been finding | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
out how department stores
are fighting back. | 0:15:46 | 0:15:52 | |
George Davies has been called a
cereal brand creator, a fashion | 0:15:52 | 0:15:59 | |
visionary, the king of the high
street. | 0:15:59 | 0:16:06 | |
street. They are very Abba, these,
aren't they? Yes, very Abba. I was | 0:16:06 | 0:16:11 | |
too young to remember Abba. He was
the man behind Capi, and M&S. When | 0:16:11 | 0:16:18 | |
we started, there were 400 stores.
By the time ago to the 1990s, when I | 0:16:18 | 0:16:26 | |
starting George and ASDA, I already
knew parking was a real problem. So | 0:16:26 | 0:16:34 | |
you could see that there was at that
point decline in the high street. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:39 | |
Yes, sure. It was obvious. George
left M&S in 2008, vowing never to | 0:16:39 | 0:16:45 | |
return to the high street. He said
it was no longer a place to make | 0:16:45 | 0:16:49 | |
money. Ten years on and he has
changed his mind. His new line of | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
women's and children's clothing will
be in the shops next week. So why | 0:16:53 | 0:16:57 | |
the change of heart? Rents are high,
business rates are high, but dealers | 0:16:57 | 0:17:02 | |
own a lot of their properties.
Probably 70% they own it, so that | 0:17:02 | 0:17:06 | |
takes quite a high risk out of it.
But not all department stores are | 0:17:06 | 0:17:10 | |
that lucky. This is London's Oxford
Street. It is where all the big | 0:17:10 | 0:17:14 | |
names have their flagship stores.
But the buildings are big, with too | 0:17:14 | 0:17:19 | |
much unprofitable space. House of
Fraser have asked their landlords to | 0:17:19 | 0:17:23 | |
reduce their rent, and the likes of
Debenhams and Marks & Spencer 's are | 0:17:23 | 0:17:29 | |
closing stores completely. Costs are
going up for retailers, and shoppers | 0:17:29 | 0:17:32 | |
want to go online because it offers
convenience. They can get the lowest | 0:17:32 | 0:17:36 | |
prices, and they get the lowest
prices because those operators don't | 0:17:36 | 0:17:39 | |
have the same kind of costs as a
physical store. The government is | 0:17:39 | 0:17:44 | |
concerned about the state of the
UK's High Street. It has just set up | 0:17:44 | 0:17:48 | |
a special panel to investigate how
best to adapt to that changes in the | 0:17:48 | 0:17:53 | |
wake we shop. It is being led by
Richard Penny Cook, the chairman of | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
department store Fenech. Department
stores are about theatre and | 0:17:57 | 0:18:02 | |
service, and those are things that
can't be replicated online. So I | 0:18:02 | 0:18:07 | |
think there is a really good future
for department stores, but it is all | 0:18:07 | 0:18:11 | |
about making sure that we are
providing something different, which | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
makes the visit worthwhile --
Fenwick. It will have to be | 0:18:13 | 0:18:20 | |
something very different to get us
off the internet and into the high | 0:18:20 | 0:18:24 | |
street. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:24 | |
We will be back with
the headlines at 6:30am. | 0:18:24 | 0:18:26 | |
Now it is time for the Film Review,
with Jane Hill and Jason Solomons. | 0:18:26 | 0:18:29 | |
Hello, and welcome to
The Film Review on BBC News. | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
To take us through this week's
cinema releases is Jason Solomons. | 0:18:48 | 0:18:51 | |
Good to see you, Jason. | 0:18:51 | 0:18:52 | |
What have you been watching? | 0:18:52 | 0:18:56 | |
This week, we'll go
to raiding and cliffhanging | 0:18:56 | 0:18:58 | |
with the new Lara Croft
in Tomb Raider. | 0:18:58 | 0:19:00 | |
Look at the meaning of art
and find our inner ape in Swedish | 0:19:00 | 0:19:04 | |
satire The Square. | 0:19:04 | 0:19:09 | |
And we dip into biblical times
for the real story of Mary Magdalen, | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
as played by Rooney Mara,
opposite Joaquin Phoenix as Jesus. | 0:19:13 | 0:19:20 | |
What a mixture! | 0:19:20 | 0:19:22 | |
Tomb Raider is back. | 0:19:22 | 0:19:23 | |
Did they need to remake this? | 0:19:23 | 0:19:25 | |
Well, it wasn't very
good the first time! | 0:19:25 | 0:19:27 | |
Often they do remakes of things that
are really good and you think, | 0:19:27 | 0:19:31 | |
'why have they ruined it'? | 0:19:31 | 0:19:32 | |
But they may be trying
to get this right, | 0:19:32 | 0:19:35 | |
because Angelina Jolie's Lara Croft
has dated terribly - | 0:19:35 | 0:19:37 | |
the effects are bad
and it was never quite right. | 0:19:37 | 0:19:40 | |
Tomb Raider was sort of a teenage
fever dream for many boys who used | 0:19:40 | 0:19:44 | |
to play that as a game
when it was early computer games, | 0:19:44 | 0:19:47 | |
and they've now changed the whole
figure of Lara Croft for this | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
new actress, who I happen
to think is fantastic. | 0:19:50 | 0:19:53 | |
She's beautiful, gorgeous,
and she has got this strength | 0:19:53 | 0:19:55 | |
to her and balletic,
which she needs, because she has | 0:19:55 | 0:19:58 | |
done a lot of running in this movie. | 0:19:58 | 0:20:06 | |
She is slumming it in Shoreditch
when we start this, but then we find | 0:20:06 | 0:20:09 | |
out she is the daughter
of a billionaire, who is played | 0:20:09 | 0:20:12 | |
in a flashback. | 0:20:12 | 0:20:13 | |
She has to go and sign
the papers which means | 0:20:13 | 0:20:16 | |
that she will inherit his fortune. | 0:20:16 | 0:20:24 | |
That was Dad's? | 0:20:27 | 0:20:28 | |
Yes, Miss Croft. | 0:20:28 | 0:20:30 | |
According to his will,
I was supposed to give it to you. | 0:20:30 | 0:20:36 | |
And, technically speaking,
you are meant to sign | 0:20:36 | 0:20:41 | |
the papers first. | 0:20:41 | 0:20:47 | |
I could never understand
your father's obsession | 0:20:47 | 0:20:49 | |
with those things. | 0:20:49 | 0:20:53 | |
I can't believe how many of those
were lying around the house. | 0:20:53 | 0:20:56 | |
There's got to be
some purpose to it. | 0:20:56 | 0:20:58 | |
The first letter from
my final destination. | 0:20:58 | 0:21:06 | |
But he didn't leave a letter. | 0:21:26 | 0:21:31 | |
Well, they've got all the great
British actors in there as well. | 0:21:31 | 0:21:34 | |
They've lined them all up! | 0:21:34 | 0:21:36 | |
They are only in it
for a bit, I have to say - | 0:21:36 | 0:21:39 | |
for the money, I think! | 0:21:39 | 0:21:41 | |
She goes off on her quest -
this is a quest movie. | 0:21:41 | 0:21:44 | |
She goes hunting with clues
that her father has left her. | 0:21:44 | 0:21:47 | |
These riddles, which you might start
off solving them yourself | 0:21:47 | 0:21:50 | |
in your head - but don't bother,
because they don't make | 0:21:50 | 0:21:53 | |
any sense, really! | 0:21:53 | 0:21:53 | |
It's just another level
of the game that she goes to. | 0:21:53 | 0:21:56 | |
She goes to Hong Kong,
and then she is pursued, | 0:21:56 | 0:21:59 | |
which is all very good,
then she has to go to a remote | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
Japanese island on a ship,
and survive a storm, | 0:22:03 | 0:22:05 | |
going down a waterfall
and solving another puzzle. | 0:22:05 | 0:22:07 | |
She does a lot of jumping and then
she does a lot of dangling. | 0:22:07 | 0:22:15 | |
LAUGHTER. | 0:22:22 | 0:22:22 | |
You know, it's a bit krypton factor! | 0:22:22 | 0:22:24 | |
Considering the indignities heaped
upon her and ridiculous scenarios | 0:22:24 | 0:22:26 | |
thrown at her, I was mesmerised
by how brilliant she is at this. | 0:22:26 | 0:22:30 | |
She brings a balletic
strength to it. | 0:22:30 | 0:22:32 | |
She's got great abs,
fantastic skills with a bow | 0:22:32 | 0:22:34 | |
and arrow, and she's far,
far better than the film she is in. | 0:22:34 | 0:22:38 | |
I wondered whether you
were getting to that. | 0:22:38 | 0:22:40 | |
She is great, but is it worth
seeing apart from her? | 0:22:40 | 0:22:43 | |
It's very kinetic, the best I can
say for it is it keeps hurling stuff | 0:22:43 | 0:22:47 | |
at poor Alicia Vikander. | 0:22:47 | 0:22:48 | |
But the climatic tomb raid
is almost laughable - | 0:22:48 | 0:22:51 | |
it looks like something that you get
on the back of the cereal packet! | 0:22:51 | 0:22:54 | |
It's like, is that what this
has all been about?! | 0:22:54 | 0:22:57 | |
Maybe there will be more
Tomb Raiders and maybe | 0:22:57 | 0:23:00 | |
they will get them better! | 0:23:00 | 0:23:01 | |
They will keep trying. | 0:23:01 | 0:23:09 | |
I'm loving the sound of the next
one, it sounds intriguing. | 0:23:11 | 0:23:15 | |
It won the Palm d'Or at Cannes,
and has taken a year to get here, | 0:23:15 | 0:23:19 | |
but it was nominated
as Best Foreign-Language Film | 0:23:19 | 0:23:21 | |
at the Baftas. | 0:23:21 | 0:23:27 | |
Much of it was not in Swedish. | 0:23:27 | 0:23:29 | |
Elisabeth Moss is in this. | 0:23:29 | 0:23:31 | |
It features one of the great
scenes of the year, | 0:23:31 | 0:23:34 | |
which we are seeing here. | 0:23:34 | 0:23:35 | |
An American actor
comes in as an artist. | 0:23:35 | 0:23:38 | |
It is an art world satire. | 0:23:38 | 0:23:46 | |
This is an art gallery
benefit dinner. | 0:23:47 | 0:23:49 | |
He comes in to do a performance
piece, but takes it far too far. | 0:23:49 | 0:23:53 | |
Here he is kind of
goading Dominic West. | 0:23:53 | 0:23:55 | |
It's about finding art in that era. | 0:23:55 | 0:23:59 | |
It's a satire on the art world. | 0:23:59 | 0:24:01 | |
Art that can be dated,
what's the point of art, | 0:24:01 | 0:24:04 | |
is it ridiculous? | 0:24:04 | 0:24:05 | |
This is about modern art. | 0:24:05 | 0:24:06 | |
It's about the curator of this
gallery that we're seeing here. | 0:24:06 | 0:24:09 | |
He loses his mobile phone,
and his life completely falls | 0:24:09 | 0:24:12 | |
apart and unravels. | 0:24:12 | 0:24:13 | |
It really is a sort of film
predicated on that. | 0:24:13 | 0:24:20 | |
Is that in the category
of 'first-world problems?'! | 0:24:20 | 0:24:28 | |
It is very much about white male
privilege and what it is to be a man | 0:24:29 | 0:24:33 | |
in the privileged world. | 0:24:33 | 0:24:35 | |
Like, here they are in their black
ties, and he is an artist. | 0:24:35 | 0:24:38 | |
This scene goes on for 11 minutes,
and you can't stop watching. | 0:24:38 | 0:24:41 | |
It's extraordinary, but you don't
go how to react to it. | 0:24:41 | 0:24:44 | |
It's all about, what would
you do in that situation? | 0:24:44 | 0:24:47 | |
It keeps throwing moral
quandaries at you. | 0:24:47 | 0:24:49 | |
It's very funny, but also
very thought-provoking, | 0:24:49 | 0:24:50 | |
perhaps a bit too thought-provoking,
like the monkey poking Dominic West | 0:24:50 | 0:24:53 | |
in the ear. | 0:24:53 | 0:24:56 | |
You have been to see
Mary Magdalen as well. | 0:24:56 | 0:24:58 | |
It's Easter coming up,
time for a Passion story. | 0:24:58 | 0:25:00 | |
This is reported to tell
for the first time the story | 0:25:00 | 0:25:03 | |
of Mary Magdalen, who has been cast
as a prostitute since Pope Gregory | 0:25:03 | 0:25:07 | |
in 591 declared that
she was a prostitute, | 0:25:07 | 0:25:09 | |
which is apparently
wrong - she wasn't. | 0:25:09 | 0:25:11 | |
This film aims to correct that
and show the Jesus story | 0:25:11 | 0:25:14 | |
through the eyes of the only female
disciple, Mary Magdalen, | 0:25:14 | 0:25:17 | |
played by Rooney Mara,
who leaves her fishing village | 0:25:17 | 0:25:19 | |
and follows the son of God. | 0:25:19 | 0:25:27 | |
Mary. | 0:25:49 | 0:25:56 | |
Each of you stand at the threshold. | 0:25:56 | 0:25:59 | |
Do you fear that you will
never reach the kingdom? | 0:25:59 | 0:26:02 | |
Whose kingdom? | 0:26:02 | 0:26:05 | |
You know as well as I do,
there's only one true kingdom. | 0:26:05 | 0:26:08 | |
And that is God. | 0:26:08 | 0:26:12 | |
And God's kingdom has taken root. | 0:26:12 | 0:26:18 | |
So we must prepare. | 0:26:18 | 0:26:21 | |
We must wash away the stains
of your corruption. | 0:26:21 | 0:26:27 | |
And be born anew. | 0:26:27 | 0:26:29 | |
Like children. | 0:26:29 | 0:26:34 | |
I have been hidden for too long. | 0:26:34 | 0:26:40 | |
I'm not sure what to say about that! | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
You can see why her father would be
upset if she went to follow him, | 0:26:43 | 0:26:47 | |
this kind of hairy bloke
who's really boring! | 0:26:47 | 0:26:49 | |
Whatever you think about the Bible,
there's no denying it's got some | 0:26:49 | 0:26:52 | |
great lines in it. | 0:26:52 | 0:26:53 | |
Why this film hasn't got any
of them is a mystery to me. | 0:26:53 | 0:26:57 | |
It is extraordinarily dull. | 0:26:57 | 0:26:58 | |
Is it a long couple of hours? | 0:26:58 | 0:27:00 | |
Absolutely so dull you
would not believe it! | 0:27:00 | 0:27:03 | |
It even looks dull, it has got this
tablecloth fashion with the stones | 0:27:03 | 0:27:06 | |
everywhere in the desert. | 0:27:06 | 0:27:07 | |
At one stage it was the greatest
story ever told, when it was in | 0:27:07 | 0:27:11 | |
Hollywood, now it's just the most
boring story ever told. | 0:27:11 | 0:27:14 | |
It's extraordinary what it does,
trying to rectify it and make it | 0:27:14 | 0:27:17 | |
a story for a new age,
kind of a story for everyone - | 0:27:17 | 0:27:21 | |
it won't offend Catholics,
Christians, Jews, Muslims | 0:27:21 | 0:27:23 | |
or even atheists. | 0:27:23 | 0:27:30 | |
Is it trying to be too careful,
is that part of the problem? | 0:27:40 | 0:27:43 | |
It is trying to tiptoe
over any heresy. | 0:27:43 | 0:27:45 | |
People boycotted
Martin Scorcese's film. | 0:27:45 | 0:27:47 | |
Any film that makes you cry
for Mel Gibson has got it wrong! | 0:27:47 | 0:27:50 | |
It also makes you think
of Monty Python all the time! | 0:27:50 | 0:27:53 | |
There are scenes when people
are going, 'Messiah, | 0:27:53 | 0:27:55 | |
Messiah'! | 0:27:55 | 0:27:56 | |
You know what, he's not the Messiah! | 0:27:56 | 0:27:58 | |
I do wish you'd say
what you really think, | 0:27:58 | 0:28:01 | |
Jason! | 0:28:01 | 0:28:02 | |
So that's a long two hours,
and we'll leave it at that! | 0:28:02 | 0:28:05 | |
I don't think this will make a lot
of money at the box office, either. | 0:28:05 | 0:28:10 | |
I think faith-based audiences
will go and be completely mystified | 0:28:10 | 0:28:12 | |
as to what this was about. | 0:28:12 | 0:28:14 | |
It is a Passion of the Christ
without any passion. | 0:28:14 | 0:28:17 | |
What should we be going to see? | 0:28:17 | 0:28:20 | |
You've got to see Black Panther. | 0:28:20 | 0:28:22 | |
And you've got to see
it now at the cinema. | 0:28:22 | 0:28:25 | |
It is becoming a cultural event -
people are seeing it four or five | 0:28:25 | 0:28:28 | |
times, it has broken
records at the box office, | 0:28:28 | 0:28:31 | |
it is changing the way that
audiences are going, | 0:28:31 | 0:28:33 | |
black audiences are flocking to it,
families are enjoying | 0:28:33 | 0:28:36 | |
the representation. | 0:28:36 | 0:28:36 | |
It is a great superhero
movie, it's sexy, it's | 0:28:36 | 0:28:39 | |
exciting, it's funny. | 0:28:39 | 0:28:40 | |
People are hollering
at it in the cinema. | 0:28:40 | 0:28:42 | |
If you haven't been to a Marvel
movie in the cinema, | 0:28:42 | 0:28:45 | |
this is the one to go and see. | 0:28:45 | 0:28:53 | |
And DVD of the week
is also so lovely. | 0:28:58 | 0:29:01 | |
I will admit, I cried
at Paddington 2! | 0:29:01 | 0:29:03 | |
But it's a delight,
it's an absolute sweet, | 0:29:03 | 0:29:05 | |
delightful, charming,
sometimes silly, but just | 0:29:05 | 0:29:07 | |
lovely, lovely, lovely. | 0:29:07 | 0:29:08 | |
Beautifully done... | 0:29:08 | 0:29:08 | |
He is in his little
outfits, wondering around. | 0:29:08 | 0:29:10 | |
Paddington didn't win
Best British Film at the Baftas, | 0:29:10 | 0:29:13 | |
that went to Three billboards. | 0:29:13 | 0:29:14 | |
This is one of the best British
films we've ever made. | 0:29:14 | 0:29:17 | |
And how good is Hugh Grant?! | 0:29:17 | 0:29:19 | |
He's fantastic!
He is. | 0:29:19 | 0:29:20 | |
And Sally Hawkins is great in it,
the whole Brown family, | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
the whole look of it is perfect. | 0:29:23 | 0:29:25 | |
It's a work of genius,
Paddington two. | 0:29:25 | 0:29:27 | |
And when did you cry?! | 0:29:27 | 0:29:35 | |
I cried at the end! | 0:29:42 | 0:29:43 | |
I'm not going to give anything away
for anyone who hasn't been | 0:29:43 | 0:29:47 | |
to see it. | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
If you want a marmalade sandwich,
you can't have one! | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
It's very sweet, wonderful. | 0:29:54 | 0:29:55 | |
A mixed week, but
an interesting one. | 0:29:55 | 0:29:57 | |
Jason, good to see you, thank you. | 0:29:57 | 0:29:59 | |
That's it for this week. | 0:29:59 | 0:30:00 | |
Enjoy your cinema-going
and your DVD watching. | 0:30:00 | 0:30:02 | |
It's terrific, honestly! | 0:30:02 | 0:30:03 | |
Thanks for being with us. | 0:30:03 | 0:30:04 | |
Goodbye. | 0:30:04 | 0:30:08 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast
with Naga Munchetty | 0:30:24 | 0:30:26 | |
and Charlie Stayt. | 0:30:26 | 0:30:27 | |
Good Morning, here's a summary | 0:30:27 | 0:30:29 | |
of today's main stories from BBC
News. | 0:30:29 | 0:30:30 | |
Police investigating the murder
of a Russian man in London say | 0:30:30 | 0:30:33 | |
they have begun contacting other | 0:30:33 | 0:30:35 | |
Russian exiles in Britain
to discuss their safety. | 0:30:35 | 0:30:37 | |
Forensics teams have continued
working at the home of 68-year-old | 0:30:37 | 0:30:40 | |
Nikolai Glushkov, who was
found dead on Monday. | 0:30:40 | 0:30:42 | |
But police say at this stage,
it is not being connected | 0:30:42 | 0:30:45 | |
to the poisoning of former
Russian spy Sergei Skripal | 0:30:45 | 0:30:48 | |
and his daughter in Salisbury. | 0:30:48 | 0:30:51 | |
John McManus reports. | 0:30:51 | 0:30:54 | |
68-year-old Nikolai Glushkov,
found dead at his home on this | 0:30:54 | 0:31:01 | |
unassuming road in south-west
London on Monday. | 0:31:01 | 0:31:03 | |
But Mr Glushkov's life
was anything but ordinary. | 0:31:03 | 0:31:06 | |
The post mortem has revealed
he was murdered, killed | 0:31:06 | 0:31:10 | |
by compression to the neck. | 0:31:10 | 0:31:11 | |
Unusually counterterrorism
police are leading | 0:31:11 | 0:31:18 | |
the investigation because of
Mr Glushkov's past links. | 0:31:18 | 0:31:20 | |
In the 1990s he was the director
of Russian airline | 0:31:20 | 0:31:24 | |
Aeroflot, | 0:31:24 | 0:31:28 | |
But was jailed after being found
guilty of fraud and | 0:31:28 | 0:31:31 | |
money-laundering. | 0:31:31 | 0:31:35 | |
He sought political asylum in the UK
and was still being sued by Russia. | 0:31:35 | 0:31:38 | |
He was friends with Russian
businessmen Boris Berezovsky | 0:31:38 | 0:31:40 | |
who was found hanged in 2013. | 0:31:40 | 0:31:42 | |
An open verdict was
recorded but Mr Glushkov | 0:31:42 | 0:31:44 | |
believed he had been murdered. | 0:31:44 | 0:31:46 | |
The deaths of 14 other Russians who
died in the UK in what may be | 0:31:46 | 0:31:52 | |
suspicious circumstances are being
re-examined. | 0:31:52 | 0:31:56 | |
Some observers believe
it is time to join | 0:31:56 | 0:31:58 | |
the dots. | 0:31:58 | 0:31:59 | |
Mr Glushkov's death fits
into a wider pattern of the last 12 | 0:31:59 | 0:32:03 | |
years of Kremlin opponents
dropping dead across Europe. | 0:32:03 | 0:32:05 | |
The consequences for the Kremlin
of this were limited | 0:32:05 | 0:32:07 | |
to far too long. | 0:32:07 | 0:32:10 | |
The UK response has recently
been much stronger, | 0:32:10 | 0:32:15 | |
but there is still
awful lot we could do. | 0:32:15 | 0:32:19 | |
The former PR executive, Lord Bell,
a friend of Mr Glushkov, | 0:32:19 | 0:32:22 | |
has
told the BBC he suspects | 0:32:22 | 0:32:23 | |
he was killed after being deemed
a traitor by the Russian state. | 0:32:23 | 0:32:27 | |
Police say that at
present there is no link | 0:32:27 | 0:32:29 | |
between the murder in London
and the poisoning of Sergei Skripal | 0:32:29 | 0:32:32 | |
and his daughter in Salisbury. | 0:32:32 | 0:32:34 | |
But some Russian exiles
are being contacted | 0:32:34 | 0:32:35 | |
about their safety. | 0:32:35 | 0:32:43 | |
Police have launched a murder
investigation after two women | 0:32:50 | 0:32:52 | |
were shot and killed
at a house in East Sussex. | 0:32:52 | 0:32:55 | |
Officers were called to an address
in St Leonards-on-Sea last night. | 0:32:55 | 0:32:58 | |
A man has been arrested. | 0:32:58 | 0:33:00 | |
The victims were known to the
suspect, police they are not for | 0:33:00 | 0:33:03 | |
anyone else in connection to the
shooting. | 0:33:03 | 0:33:09 | |
More than 100 flights to and | 0:33:09 | 0:33:11 | |
from Heathrow have been cancelled
YouTube bad weather. Drivers are | 0:33:11 | 0:33:20 | |
being asked to avoid trans Pennine
roads. | 0:33:20 | 0:33:23 | |
The former deputy director
of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, | 0:33:23 | 0:33:25 | |
has been dramatically fired,
just hours before he was due | 0:33:25 | 0:33:28 | |
to formally retire. | 0:33:28 | 0:33:29 | |
Mr McCabe | 0:33:29 | 0:33:31 | |
said his sacking had been
politically motivated, | 0:33:31 | 0:33:33 | |
and claimed it was part of a wider
effort to taint the FBI | 0:33:33 | 0:33:36 | |
and discredit the
intelligence community. | 0:33:36 | 0:33:37 | |
Mr Trump tweeted it had been
a "great day for democracy". | 0:33:37 | 0:33:40 | |
The number of hospital admissions
due to older people falling | 0:33:40 | 0:33:43 | |
is expected to rise to nearly 1,000
a day by the end of the decade. | 0:33:43 | 0:33:47 | |
That's according to figures obtained
by the Local Government Association. | 0:33:47 | 0:33:50 | |
It's prompted calls for more funding
for adult social care. | 0:33:50 | 0:33:54 | |
It might have been panned by some
critics, but Hugh Jackman's movie | 0:33:54 | 0:33:57 | |
musical 'The Greatest Showman'
continues to dominate the cinema | 0:33:57 | 0:34:00 | |
and music charts -
sitting at the top of the UK album | 0:34:00 | 0:34:04 | |
chart for ten weeks. | 0:34:04 | 0:34:12 | |
The film is loosely based
on the life of circus impresario | 0:34:13 | 0:34:17 | |
PT Barnum - aka
The Greatest Showman. | 0:34:17 | 0:34:20 | |
The only other album that's managed
to spend longer at the top spot | 0:34:20 | 0:34:24 | |
in the UK in the last 30
years is Adele's 21, | 0:34:24 | 0:34:27 | |
which managed 11 weeks at the top. | 0:34:27 | 0:34:34 | |
Those are the main story this
morning. That film is like a crabby | 0:34:34 | 0:34:39 | |
film, which is why it has been so
popular, because so many people have | 0:34:39 | 0:34:45 | |
just thought, I don't want any more
misery, I just want happiness. And | 0:34:45 | 0:34:50 | |
there will be some great happiness | 0:34:50 | 0:34:53 | |
misery, I just want happiness. And
there will be some great happiness | 0:34:53 | 0:34:54 | |
today in the rugby, if this colour
comes out on top. What a St | 0:34:54 | 0:34:57 | |
Patrick's Day that would be. | 0:34:57 | 0:35:00 | |
Ireland face England at Twickenham,
normally a fortress for Eddie Jones' | 0:35:00 | 0:35:04 | |
side - but they've had
their problems throughout | 0:35:04 | 0:35:09 | |
the tournament,
as Joe Wilson reports. | 0:35:09 | 0:35:17 | |
Twickenham on Friday revealed the
seats, they always green not for St | 0:35:18 | 0:35:23 | |
Patrick's Day. But here Ireland six
since nations perfection. First they | 0:35:23 | 0:35:28 | |
beat France. Lastgasp in Paris. The
second win was against Italy. Next | 0:35:28 | 0:35:34 | |
Wales were beaten in Dublin. Four
more tries beat Scotland which | 0:35:34 | 0:35:38 | |
leaves just England, five wins and a
grandslam. Everyone is aware of the | 0:35:38 | 0:35:44 | |
significance it has four Irish rugby
in this group of players, but there | 0:35:44 | 0:35:51 | |
is nervous energy but it is very
exciting. Ireland did the grandslam | 0:35:51 | 0:35:55 | |
nine years ago by the early other
time they achieved this feat was | 0:35:55 | 0:35:58 | |
1948. There was no commentary,
Ireland in grave. If Ireland are | 0:35:58 | 0:36:03 | |
here to try and make history,
England are certainly trying to find | 0:36:03 | 0:36:07 | |
a future. Coach Eddie Jones week
apologising about a leadership | 0:36:07 | 0:36:12 | |
speech filmed last year when he
bantered about island being | 0:36:12 | 0:36:16 | |
"Scummy". He has made radical
changes to his team to play Ireland, | 0:36:16 | 0:36:22 | |
often selections speak louder than
words. Any team that wins 11 games | 0:36:22 | 0:36:24 | |
in a row are worthy champions of the
Six Nations. We are very respectful | 0:36:24 | 0:36:29 | |
of them, they have weakness like any
team. England's weaknesses have been | 0:36:29 | 0:36:34 | |
starkly exposed in two consecutive
defeats. Eddie Jones has never lost | 0:36:34 | 0:36:38 | |
with England at Twickenham and that
is part of the fascination tomorrow. | 0:36:38 | 0:36:41 | |
Tickets offered for crazy sums,
grandslam seats a grand each. | 0:36:41 | 0:36:51 | |
England's women ended
their Six Nations with victory over | 0:36:52 | 0:36:54 | |
Ireland - but they finished
runners up to France. | 0:36:54 | 0:36:57 | |
It finished 33-11 to England
at the Ricoh Arena - | 0:36:57 | 0:36:59 | |
Danielle Waterman becoming
the nation's leading try-scorer | 0:36:59 | 0:37:01 | |
with 47 - she's now just two tries
short of Rory Underwood's overall | 0:37:01 | 0:37:05 | |
England record. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:05 | |
France took the title
with victory over Wales. | 0:37:05 | 0:37:12 | |
Medals have proved elusive
for Great Britain on the penultimate | 0:37:12 | 0:37:15 | |
day of competition at
the Winter Paralympics. | 0:37:15 | 0:37:17 | |
Let's go over to Pyeongchang now,
and our reporter Kate Grey - | 0:37:17 | 0:37:20 | |
bring us up to date, Kate. | 0:37:20 | 0:37:26 | |
It has been a quiet day for Great
Britain on the eighth day of action | 0:37:26 | 0:37:30 | |
here in Pyeongchang, just to make
this athlete in action. James | 0:37:30 | 0:37:35 | |
Whitley went in the standing slalom
in the alpine skiing, he finished | 0:37:35 | 0:37:38 | |
10th in the end in what was a very
tough course and a very competitive | 0:37:38 | 0:37:42 | |
category with lots of mistakes made
by athletes higher up than him, but | 0:37:42 | 0:37:46 | |
he could not quite improved on his
performance, finishing 10th, but it | 0:37:46 | 0:37:51 | |
is his best performance at the
Paralympic games, he did compete at | 0:37:51 | 0:37:54 | |
in Sochi where he finished 14th and
15. An improvement but no medals for | 0:37:54 | 0:37:59 | |
the 20-year-old. Great Britain also
had an athlete over at the | 0:37:59 | 0:38:03 | |
cross-country skiing, he went in the
7.5 kilometre race. He came to these | 0:38:03 | 0:38:07 | |
games just hoping to gain some
experience, he only got into the | 0:38:07 | 0:38:11 | |
sport 18 months ago and hoping to
make it to the Beijing 2022 games. | 0:38:11 | 0:38:15 | |
And he finished 14th today, so great
experience for him, who will be | 0:38:15 | 0:38:21 | |
hoping to improve in his next games.
There was gold for South Korea in | 0:38:21 | 0:38:26 | |
that event, the first time South
Korea have won a Paralympic gold, a | 0:38:26 | 0:38:31 | |
great result for the home nation
here and date to get a gold medal. | 0:38:31 | 0:38:35 | |
Lots of mixed emotions, Great
Britain, the visually impaired women | 0:38:35 | 0:38:47 | |
will go in the slalom where Great
Britain will have their last attempt | 0:38:47 | 0:38:51 | |
at winning a medal. Thank you very
much. If you thought you had seen it | 0:38:51 | 0:38:59 | |
all from Jose Marino, you are wrong.
He gave a 12 minute answer his press | 0:38:59 | 0:39:05 | |
conference yesterday defending
Manchester United 's Mac shop exit | 0:39:05 | 0:39:08 | |
in the Champions League. Here is
just a snippet of this rant. I am | 0:39:08 | 0:39:13 | |
not going to cry, because I heard a
bit of building, I am not going to | 0:39:13 | 0:39:19 | |
disappear, when I was 20 years old I
was nobody in football, and now at | 0:39:19 | 0:39:27 | |
505I am what I am, I did what I did,
because of work, because of my | 0:39:27 | 0:39:31 | |
talent and because of my mentality.
I could be in another country with | 0:39:31 | 0:39:35 | |
the league in the pocket, the kind
of lead you win even before the | 0:39:35 | 0:39:44 | |
league starts, but I am here. He is
the kind of many wouldn't interrupt, | 0:39:44 | 0:39:50 | |
you are just let it go. TV gold.
Could you imagine interrupting him, | 0:39:50 | 0:40:00 | |
you would not want to do it. | 0:40:00 | 0:40:07 | |
It was a frustrating evening
for Hibernian as they missed | 0:40:10 | 0:40:13 | |
the chance to go third
in the Scottish Premiership. | 0:40:13 | 0:40:15 | |
Hibs went ahead
in the second minute, | 0:40:15 | 0:40:17 | |
had their keeper sent off not long
after, and held out until the final | 0:40:17 | 0:40:21 | |
stages when Chris Kane
equalised for St Johnstone. | 0:40:21 | 0:40:23 | |
We'll see video assistant referees
used at this summer's World Cup | 0:40:23 | 0:40:26 | |
in Russia after Fifa approved
the controversial system. | 0:40:26 | 0:40:34 | |
It's been trialled in the FA Cup
this season but has been criticised | 0:40:34 | 0:40:37 | |
by many for taking too
long and being overused. | 0:40:37 | 0:40:40 | |
It allows referees to consult
an official with access to video | 0:40:40 | 0:40:43 | |
replays in order to
make key decisions. | 0:40:43 | 0:40:50 | |
The Cheltenham Gold Cup
is one of the biggest racing events | 0:40:50 | 0:40:53 | |
of the year - and we got a contest
which lived up to that billing. | 0:40:53 | 0:40:57 | |
It was, literally, a two horse race
with Native River holding off | 0:40:57 | 0:41:00 | |
the favourite Might Bite. | 0:41:00 | 0:41:02 | |
That gave jockey Richard Johnson his
second Gold Cup triump - | 0:41:02 | 0:41:05 | |
and a first for trainer
Colin Tizzard. | 0:41:05 | 0:41:12 | |
And it seems that Kevin Pietersen
might have finally hung | 0:41:12 | 0:41:14 | |
up his bat. | 0:41:14 | 0:41:17 | |
He tweeted 'Boots Up.
Thank you' after playing | 0:41:17 | 0:41:20 | |
for Quetta Gladiators | 0:41:20 | 0:41:20 | |
in the Pakistan Super League. | 0:41:20 | 0:41:22 | |
The former England captain had
indicated the tournament | 0:41:22 | 0:41:24 | |
would be his last. | 0:41:24 | 0:41:25 | |
The second of our commonwealth games
previews. Last week Michael went to | 0:41:25 | 0:41:28 | |
meet the youngest game -- youngest's
athlete, what 11-year-old tennis | 0:41:28 | 0:41:31 | |
player, and this week he has been to
meet one of the oldest. | 0:41:31 | 0:41:41 | |
David Calvert from Northern Ireland. | 0:41:41 | 0:41:42 | |
He's heading to his 11th games
to compete in the highest calibre | 0:41:42 | 0:41:45 | |
shooting event, full bore rifle. | 0:41:45 | 0:41:47 | |
Before he left Mike joined David
and his partner in Surrey - | 0:41:47 | 0:41:50 | |
although it was more like Siberia. | 0:41:50 | 0:41:53 | |
He is arguably the best in the world
will stop you a matter target which | 0:42:04 | 0:42:10 | |
could be 900 metres away. A little
black. On the horizon, a bull's-eye | 0:42:10 | 0:42:14 | |
the size of a dinner plate, and yet
conditions more aching to Siberia, | 0:42:14 | 0:42:18 | |
David Calvert-Jones now in his 60s,
is going to his 11 commonwealth | 0:42:18 | 0:42:23 | |
games, will hit 99% of the time. It
is a sport that you can start in | 0:42:23 | 0:42:29 | |
your teens and continue well past
normal retirement age, you can | 0:42:29 | 0:42:34 | |
compete and be competitive the
decades. It is the challenge of the | 0:42:34 | 0:42:40 | |
wind effect and also the skills of
firing a good shot. There is a | 0:42:40 | 0:42:49 | |
crack, you see the splash of the
sound can you feel the buzz in the | 0:42:49 | 0:42:53 | |
target, you pull it down, it could
be a stomach muscles. Give it | 0:42:53 | 0:42:57 | |
another push, and at this point
there would be another hole in the | 0:42:57 | 0:43:01 | |
target. The maximum possible score
in the individual commonwealth game | 0:43:01 | 0:43:10 | |
event is 405 points. David scored
404 to set the record. Wow. David is | 0:43:10 | 0:43:17 | |
used to being carried to the podium,
as is the tradition in fullbore | 0:43:17 | 0:43:22 | |
rifle shooting, having won four
commonwealth golds for his native | 0:43:22 | 0:43:25 | |
Northern Ireland and four bronze. It
is regarded as a blue-ribbon event | 0:43:25 | 0:43:29 | |
by quite a few in the sport of
shooting, partly because of the | 0:43:29 | 0:43:33 | |
heritage colour is where it all
started back in 1860, with the award | 0:43:33 | 0:43:37 | |
of the Queens prize by Queen
Victoria. Never been that | 0:43:37 | 0:43:41 | |
comfortable around large bangs but
what worried me most as I was | 0:43:41 | 0:43:44 | |
invited to take a shot in this high
calibre sport is how far the bullet | 0:43:44 | 0:43:48 | |
can travel in that wind. Fresh winds
today would blow the bullet by ten | 0:43:48 | 0:43:53 | |
feet. It is why in pairs you rely on
your partner to help you line up | 0:43:53 | 0:43:59 | |
your shots. Line up the sites...
Take your time. It is all about | 0:43:59 | 0:44:08 | |
mental strength under pressure.
Ready when you are. To squeeze | 0:44:08 | 0:44:12 | |
gently. You do feel a slight, once
it is pushing to your shoulder, the | 0:44:12 | 0:44:18 | |
whole body takes it. The shop that
is showing is a simple bull's-eye. I | 0:44:18 | 0:44:28 | |
would stop while you are ahead. I
will leave it there, to 25-year-old | 0:44:28 | 0:44:33 | |
Jack Alexander to partner David at
the Commonwealth Games. Privilege to | 0:44:33 | 0:44:38 | |
shoot alongside David, and are not
many people in the game who would be | 0:44:38 | 0:44:43 | |
at the top of their game for as long
as David had, he is passing on his | 0:44:43 | 0:44:48 | |
knowledge and enjoys me doing well
as well. All that Jack and David are | 0:44:48 | 0:44:54 | |
aiming for now is a Commonwealth
golds. | 0:44:54 | 0:45:01 | |
That is amazing, isn't it? It is
such a precision game, but also in | 0:45:08 | 0:45:13 | |
the cold, which won't be a problem
in Australia! 900 metres, I hope | 0:45:13 | 0:45:18 | |
there was nothing behind the target
when he was shooting. Everyone was | 0:45:18 | 0:45:22 | |
giving him a very wide earth. And
Mike is looking forward to... Is he | 0:45:22 | 0:45:30 | |
going out? He will be at the
Commonwealth Games for the duration | 0:45:30 | 0:45:34 | |
of the games, starting in two weeks
because time. -- two weeks' time. | 0:45:34 | 0:45:48 | |
The mini beast from the east is what
we have been told about, and some | 0:45:48 | 0:45:53 | |
The mini beast from the east is what
we have been told about, and some | 0:45:53 | 0:45:53 | |
really low temperatures. It will
feel very cold for the next couple | 0:45:53 | 0:45:56 | |
of days. | 0:45:56 | 0:45:57 | |
Here is Helen Willetts with a look
at this morning's weather. | 0:45:57 | 0:46:02 | |
A real shock to the system, because
yesterday it felt so mild across the | 0:46:02 | 0:46:06 | |
central half of the country. Today
will be 10 degrees down, and we are | 0:46:06 | 0:46:11 | |
concerning ourselves with ice from
the morning and slow as we go | 0:46:11 | 0:46:15 | |
through the day to day will out from
the weather office, much more detail | 0:46:15 | 0:46:20 | |
on the website. I will try and take
you through it. The high pressure | 0:46:20 | 0:46:24 | |
across Scandinavia is sinking
southwards, allowing the mini beast | 0:46:24 | 0:46:28 | |
from the east, pushing the cold air,
the Siberian air back across the | 0:46:28 | 0:46:33 | |
country. We also have weather fronts
to complicated, so the weather front | 0:46:33 | 0:46:37 | |
sinking southwards through the
Midlands and East Anglia at the | 0:46:37 | 0:46:40 | |
moment. As a drift south it will
turn progressively to snow, light | 0:46:40 | 0:46:44 | |
snow initially. Showers following
across the north-east of England, | 0:46:44 | 0:46:48 | |
the Midlands, and later the south
and east, causing concern. That is | 0:46:48 | 0:46:52 | |
where we have the amber warnings. It
is cold out there, and it will be | 0:46:52 | 0:46:56 | |
bitterly cold today because of the
strength of the wind. It will feel | 0:46:56 | 0:47:00 | |
like -6 minus seven. The fewest
showers across Northern Ireland in | 0:47:00 | 0:47:08 | |
the western fringes of Scotland,
England in particular, perhaps | 0:47:17 | 0:47:20 | |
north-west England as well. Let's
focus on the amber warnings. We are | 0:47:20 | 0:47:23 | |
concerned for several centimetres
building up across parts of | 0:47:23 | 0:47:25 | |
Lincolnshire, Yorkshire, right
across the North Midlands, possibly | 0:47:25 | 0:47:28 | |
as far west is north Wales. Those
showers will keep going, and across | 0:47:28 | 0:47:32 | |
the south-east of England, during
the day and overnight. Overnight as | 0:47:32 | 0:47:34 | |
well is the added complication of a
longer spell of rain across southern | 0:47:34 | 0:47:38 | |
England and south Wales. Those are
the main areas concerned, but we | 0:47:38 | 0:47:41 | |
could see snow showers just about
anywhere and we could see rather icy | 0:47:41 | 0:47:44 | |
conditions where that snow has
fallen. Through the evening and | 0:47:44 | 0:47:48 | |
overnight you can see the snow
showers continuing to feed in on | 0:47:48 | 0:47:50 | |
strong to gale force winds. Here is
the more significant is no | 0:47:50 | 0:47:54 | |
potentially in the south. Big
question marks as to how large that | 0:47:54 | 0:47:57 | |
area will be, how far north and west
it will go. It will be bitterly cold | 0:47:57 | 0:48:02 | |
anyway tonight, so where we have
seen any rain, sleet was no, it will | 0:48:02 | 0:48:05 | |
turn quite icy. We could wake up to
a covering of snow across many | 0:48:05 | 0:48:09 | |
southern areas, more so across the
Central Lowlands overnight and at | 0:48:09 | 0:48:12 | |
first tomorrow. I think we have a
few showers continuing, another | 0:48:12 | 0:48:16 | |
really cold day. Where we have had
this know it will be lying around | 0:48:16 | 0:48:19 | |
because of that strong to gale force
winds, and temperatures will again | 0:48:19 | 0:48:22 | |
reach above freezing. But he added
on effect of the wind, it will feel | 0:48:22 | 0:48:26 | |
bitterly cold. It will probably just
be small, a mini beast from the | 0:48:26 | 0:48:30 | |
east, because we start to cut off
this easily feared is we go into | 0:48:30 | 0:48:35 | |
next week. And instead we pull in a
northerly. That is not that much | 0:48:35 | 0:48:39 | |
warmer, but it cuts off the really
bitterly cold air from Siberia. I | 0:48:39 | 0:48:42 | |
will keep you updated through the
morning. Thank you very much, we | 0:48:42 | 0:48:47 | |
will see you later. | 0:48:47 | 0:48:48 | |
We will be back with
the headlines at 7:00am. | 0:48:48 | 0:48:51 | |
Now it's time for Click,
and the team are looking at how | 0:48:51 | 0:48:53 | |
Now it's time for Click,
and the team are looking at how | 0:48:53 | 0:48:54 | |
technology could transform
the health service. | 0:48:54 | 0:48:56 | |
For almost 70 years,
the UK's National Health Service has | 0:48:56 | 0:48:57 | |
For almost 70 years,
the UK's National Health Service has | 0:49:14 | 0:49:16 | |
been a free service
at the point of care. | 0:49:16 | 0:49:20 | |
But that model is under strain
as the population ages and chronic | 0:49:20 | 0:49:24 | |
health conditions increase
while resources shrink. | 0:49:24 | 0:49:29 | |
A recent study by the Royal College
of Physicians showed that almost two | 0:49:29 | 0:49:33 | |
thirds of doctors think that patient
safety has deteriorated with one | 0:49:33 | 0:49:36 | |
doctor saying we are not robots. | 0:49:36 | 0:49:37 | |
We are human staff with limits. | 0:49:37 | 0:49:40 | |
Should the NHS turn to robots
to ease the strain on human staff? | 0:49:40 | 0:49:44 | |
Jane has been looking at how data
driven technology could transform | 0:49:44 | 0:49:47 | |
care in the NHS. | 0:49:47 | 0:49:54 | |
Could artificial intelligence
help save the NHS? | 0:49:54 | 0:49:57 | |
More people are looking
at innovative ways to ease | 0:49:57 | 0:50:00 | |
the workload of doctors and nurses. | 0:50:00 | 0:50:04 | |
Computer programmes can rapidly
analyse huge quantities | 0:50:04 | 0:50:07 | |
of information in ways that humans
do not have the time nor brain | 0:50:07 | 0:50:11 | |
capacity to do. | 0:50:11 | 0:50:13 | |
In 2016, Click filmed
Google's Deep Mind at | 0:50:13 | 0:50:16 | |
Moorfield's Eye Hospital. | 0:50:16 | 0:50:17 | |
They were developing an algorithm
to identify abnormalities | 0:50:17 | 0:50:19 | |
in eye scans. | 0:50:19 | 0:50:23 | |
I am going to see three other
projects integrating AI and data | 0:50:23 | 0:50:26 | |
collection for monitoring,
automation and decreasing waiting | 0:50:26 | 0:50:28 | |
times. | 0:50:28 | 0:50:33 | |
Dementia is now the leading
cause of death in the UK. | 0:50:33 | 0:50:37 | |
At the Manor Hospital in Coventry,
software is being tested to remotely | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
monitor patients
on the dementia ward. | 0:50:40 | 0:50:44 | |
This is one of the
rooms on the ward. | 0:50:44 | 0:50:47 | |
It looks like any other hospital
room except in this one | 0:50:47 | 0:50:50 | |
there are two infrared illuminators
and an optical sensor | 0:50:50 | 0:50:53 | |
monitoring my movements
including when I'm asleep. | 0:50:53 | 0:51:00 | |
Oxehealth uses a standard digital
camera and the tongue-twisting | 0:51:00 | 0:51:02 | |
science of photoplethysmography. | 0:51:02 | 0:51:05 | |
Every time your heart beats,
your skin briefly flashes red. | 0:51:05 | 0:51:08 | |
We can not see this but the sensor
in the camera can detect | 0:51:08 | 0:51:12 | |
these so-called microblushes. | 0:51:12 | 0:51:17 | |
It even picks up my vital signs
when I am hiding under a table | 0:51:17 | 0:51:20 | |
in the room as those microblushes
can still be seen on my arm. | 0:51:20 | 0:51:24 | |
There is an alert if I leave my bed. | 0:51:24 | 0:51:27 | |
And the nurse can click on a live
feed to see what is happening | 0:51:27 | 0:51:30 | |
and determine whether they need
to come and check on me right away. | 0:51:30 | 0:51:34 | |
For the staff, initially,
when it looked like we had a camera | 0:51:34 | 0:51:37 | |
in a box in a room,
they were not happy about it. | 0:51:37 | 0:51:40 | |
But when we spent some
time with Oxehealth, | 0:51:40 | 0:51:43 | |
they explained to them
and they see how it works, | 0:51:43 | 0:51:45 | |
they love it. | 0:51:45 | 0:51:47 | |
They love the fact it
gives you an extra... | 0:51:47 | 0:51:50 | |
An extra support. | 0:51:50 | 0:51:54 | |
The project is in the pilot stage
and is awaiting medical | 0:51:54 | 0:51:57 | |
certification. | 0:51:57 | 0:51:58 | |
The data collected is being analysed
remotely by a team in Oxford | 0:51:58 | 0:52:01 | |
and will be used to train
the programme to be more predictive. | 0:52:01 | 0:52:08 | |
We have never had this
capability as a species, | 0:52:08 | 0:52:11 | |
to constantly get heart rate,
breathing rate, movement | 0:52:11 | 0:52:13 | |
and routine data. | 0:52:13 | 0:52:14 | |
There is no reason as we combine
and we fuse the data using AI | 0:52:14 | 0:52:17 | |
we cannot detect the onset
of dementia or prevent | 0:52:17 | 0:52:20 | |
it getting worse. | 0:52:20 | 0:52:21 | |
We can detect problems early
so you can stay in your own home | 0:52:21 | 0:52:24 | |
or a comfortable setting
without coming into hospital. | 0:52:24 | 0:52:26 | |
That will save a huge
amount of time. | 0:52:26 | 0:52:30 | |
Saving critical time
was the motivation behind automating | 0:52:30 | 0:52:32 | |
processes at NHS
Blood and Transplant. | 0:52:32 | 0:52:36 | |
4,500 people receive
a transplant each year, | 0:52:36 | 0:52:39 | |
but 6,500 are on the list. | 0:52:39 | 0:52:41 | |
Every day, three people die
waiting for a transplant. | 0:52:41 | 0:52:44 | |
A lot of information needs
to be sifted through to | 0:52:44 | 0:52:46 | |
make life-and-death decisions. | 0:52:46 | 0:52:51 | |
The NHS is now using public cloud
technology from IBM to help maintain | 0:52:51 | 0:52:54 | |
huge databases that used to be
managed with a marker | 0:52:54 | 0:52:57 | |
and a whiteboard. | 0:52:57 | 0:53:01 | |
By working with some of this
automated technology we can make | 0:53:01 | 0:53:04 | |
sure we are making the best possible
decisions and that our clinical | 0:53:04 | 0:53:07 | |
teams are thinking through the best
outcomes for all of the patients | 0:53:07 | 0:53:10 | |
on the transplant waiting list,
and that our staff, who are often | 0:53:10 | 0:53:13 | |
working until three in the morning
in a high-pressure environment, | 0:53:13 | 0:53:16 | |
needing to allocate organs
quickly, they are supported | 0:53:16 | 0:53:18 | |
by this technology. | 0:53:18 | 0:53:22 | |
In the future, the team hopes that
artificial intelligence will be able | 0:53:22 | 0:53:26 | |
to predict how long people will be
on the waiting list for an organ. | 0:53:26 | 0:53:29 | |
There is an average waiting time
of two weeks to see a doctor | 0:53:29 | 0:53:33 | |
in the UK. | 0:53:33 | 0:53:35 | |
This can drop to two hours
if you register with GP At Hand. | 0:53:35 | 0:53:38 | |
You can sign up if you live or work
within certain zones of London. | 0:53:38 | 0:53:42 | |
You need to give up your regular
practice doctor and register with GP | 0:53:42 | 0:53:46 | |
At Hand's remote surgery. | 0:53:46 | 0:53:49 | |
26,000 people have
registered so far. | 0:53:49 | 0:53:52 | |
I had a chance to test it out,
pretending I had a case | 0:53:52 | 0:53:56 | |
of food poisoning. | 0:53:56 | 0:53:57 | |
First I went through a triage
with a chat bot on the app | 0:53:57 | 0:54:00 | |
who recommended I speak remotely
to a real-life human doctor. | 0:54:00 | 0:54:03 | |
The doctor recommends further care
and can even send a prescription | 0:54:03 | 0:54:06 | |
to a pharmacy. | 0:54:06 | 0:54:11 | |
The artificial intelligence
in the app draws on billions of data | 0:54:11 | 0:54:14 | |
points and can cross reference
the latest medical research | 0:54:14 | 0:54:16 | |
from journals and studies
around the world. | 0:54:16 | 0:54:22 | |
You use artificial intelligence
to tell you whether or not | 0:54:22 | 0:54:25 | |
to see a doctor. | 0:54:25 | 0:54:28 | |
You are always free to see a doctor
anyway but what we find is that 40% | 0:54:28 | 0:54:32 | |
of the people who get reassured
that they have everything they need, | 0:54:32 | 0:54:35 | |
they stop there. | 0:54:35 | 0:54:36 | |
The app has faced criticism
from the Royal College of GPswho say | 0:54:36 | 0:54:39 | |
that younger users are being cherry
picked for the service. | 0:54:39 | 0:54:42 | |
NHS England lodged a formal
objection to the planned | 0:54:42 | 0:54:45 | |
rollout beyond London. | 0:54:45 | 0:54:52 | |
Whenever anybody comes up
with a great, exciting idea | 0:54:52 | 0:54:54 | |
they are desperate to see it
rolled out everywhere. | 0:54:54 | 0:54:57 | |
I would say we need to give people
safe, fair and equitable care. | 0:54:57 | 0:55:00 | |
If we roll things out too quickly
without ensuring that safety | 0:55:00 | 0:55:03 | |
and fairness, we run the risk
of causing unintended harm. | 0:55:03 | 0:55:06 | |
So it is wise and sensible that
independent evaluations are now | 0:55:06 | 0:55:09 | |
going on of these new technologies
so that people can be reassured | 0:55:09 | 0:55:12 | |
that they are safe and they
are fair for everybody. | 0:55:12 | 0:55:15 | |
I think it is wrong. | 0:55:15 | 0:55:16 | |
I genuinely think that slowing down
what people want is just not right. | 0:55:16 | 0:55:20 | |
I cannot understand why
people are hesitant. | 0:55:20 | 0:55:22 | |
Often it is because they are
scared of new technology. | 0:55:22 | 0:55:25 | |
They do not know what
the consequences are. | 0:55:25 | 0:55:27 | |
And that is fine. | 0:55:27 | 0:55:28 | |
They need to check that
and reassure themselves. | 0:55:28 | 0:55:30 | |
There is nothing wrong with that. | 0:55:30 | 0:55:36 | |
I have seen three ways companies
are working with data to help | 0:55:36 | 0:55:41 | |
with monitoring, automation
and decreasing waiting times. | 0:55:41 | 0:55:42 | |
All areas that could help
an overstressed health service. | 0:55:42 | 0:55:45 | |
Could artificial intelligence
help to save the NHS? | 0:55:45 | 0:55:51 | |
It is an exciting development
worldwide but never more | 0:55:51 | 0:55:53 | |
so than in healthcare
and there are certainly things AI | 0:55:53 | 0:55:56 | |
can help as we to plough
through data we already have, | 0:55:56 | 0:55:59 | |
and provide answers
to the questions we didn't even | 0:55:59 | 0:56:01 | |
know needed answering. | 0:56:01 | 0:56:02 | |
But let's be clear, AI will never
replace person-to-person | 0:56:02 | 0:56:05 | |
interaction. | 0:56:05 | 0:56:11 | |
The touch of a doctor,
the looking deep into someone's eyes | 0:56:11 | 0:56:14 | |
and recognising their physical,
social and psychological make-up | 0:56:14 | 0:56:16 | |
of the person is what matters,
not just a bleeding leg | 0:56:16 | 0:56:19 | |
or a headache. | 0:56:19 | 0:56:20 | |
It is much more than that and AI,
it will be quite a long time before | 0:56:20 | 0:56:25 | |
AI comes close. | 0:56:25 | 0:56:28 | |
You think it ever will? | 0:56:28 | 0:56:29 | |
I will be stunned if within my
lifetime AI ever replaces a doctor. | 0:56:29 | 0:56:37 | |
We are going to interrupt this
broadcast with some breaking news | 0:56:42 | 0:56:45 | |
coming into us here at the BBC. | 0:56:45 | 0:56:47 | |
It is a world first,
BBC Click presenter Spencer Kelly | 0:56:47 | 0:56:50 | |
has been replaced by a robot. | 0:56:50 | 0:56:51 | |
It has been dubbed RoboSpen
and the artifical intelligence | 0:56:51 | 0:56:54 | |
machine is apparently capable
of a whole host of emotions | 0:56:54 | 0:56:59 | |
as well as understanding and writing
stories and crucially, | 0:56:59 | 0:57:01 | |
he never forgets his lines. | 0:57:01 | 0:57:03 | |
RoboSpen joins the now
from the factory that created him. | 0:57:03 | 0:57:05 | |
Over to you. | 0:57:05 | 0:57:11 | |
Sounds like you said
I was artificially intelligent. | 0:57:11 | 0:57:19 | |
As a robot I am often asked to pose
for photos and TV reports about AI. | 0:57:19 | 0:57:23 | |
While I am a humaoid robot,
I am not intelligent. | 0:57:23 | 0:57:26 | |
Everything I am saying
is written by a human. | 0:57:26 | 0:57:28 | |
The point is, robots and AI
are not the same thing. | 0:57:28 | 0:57:35 | |
Observe my articulated hands
with four independent fingers | 0:57:35 | 0:57:38 | |
powered by eight air cylinders. | 0:57:38 | 0:57:43 | |
Engineering Arts has made a name
for itself by making robotic | 0:57:43 | 0:57:46 | |
performers, actors
and communicators. | 0:57:46 | 0:57:47 | |
Which, according to Will,
is pretty much the only reason | 0:57:47 | 0:57:50 | |
the world might need
humanoid robots. | 0:57:50 | 0:57:58 | |
Humanoid robots are great
for entertainment and communication, | 0:57:59 | 0:58:05 | |
if you want something that
interacts with people, | 0:58:05 | 0:58:12 | |
the best way to do that is to make
something person-shaped. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:16 | |
So if you think Star Wars, C3P0 -
the robot that talks a lot, | 0:58:16 | 0:58:20 | |
has a personality, doesn't do
a lot of useful things. | 0:58:20 | 0:58:24 | |
Will and his team design and build
robots here from scratch | 0:58:24 | 0:58:27 | |
from the aluminium bones
to the rubbery spines | 0:58:27 | 0:58:29 | |
and plastic shells. | 0:58:29 | 0:58:34 | |
While the robots they have made
are more C3P0, the next wave our way | 0:58:34 | 0:58:38 | |
into the uncanny valley. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:43 | |
Oh my goodness, it has just come
to life with the eyes there. | 0:58:43 | 0:58:51 | |
You have seen Silence
of the Lambs, haven't you? | 0:58:52 | 0:58:54 | |
That is very eerie, that is. | 0:58:54 | 0:58:57 | |
If you know what I mean. | 0:58:57 | 0:58:59 | |
Will is fascinated with how
the human body works and a lot | 0:58:59 | 0:59:03 | |
of this research concentrates
on making natural looking body | 0:59:03 | 0:59:05 | |
movements that are also very quiet. | 0:59:05 | 0:59:09 | |
It is something that he believes
might find a place in the field | 0:59:09 | 0:59:13 | |
of prosthetics, although he says
there is still a lot of work | 0:59:13 | 0:59:16 | |
to be done. | 0:59:16 | 0:59:17 | |
I don't have a single
precision part in my body. | 0:59:17 | 0:59:20 | |
How can I achieve this level
of precision with these organic, | 0:59:20 | 0:59:23 | |
bones and bits of mushy flesh. | 0:59:23 | 0:59:24 | |
One of the biggest problems we have
is that there is nothing as good | 0:59:24 | 0:59:28 | |
as human muscle. | 0:59:28 | 0:59:30 | |
So for all of this motor
development that we have done, | 0:59:30 | 0:59:33 | |
we don't come anywhere
near to what a human can do. | 0:59:33 | 0:59:38 | |
Where you will see humanoid robots,
you will see them in a commercial | 0:59:38 | 0:59:42 | |
context, so you might go into a shop
and you might see a robot | 0:59:42 | 0:59:46 | |
in there that is trying

Hello, this is Breakfast with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 1:00:51 | 1:00:54 | |
Police investigating the murder
of a businessman in London begin | 1:00:54 | 1:00:56 | |
contacting other Russian exiles
to discuss their personal | 1:00:56 | 1:00:58 | |
safety in Britain. | 1:00:58 | 1:00:59 | |
Forensic teams have been working
through the night to find out | 1:00:59 | 1:01:02 | |
what happened to Nikolai Glushkov,
who was found dead on Monday. | 1:01:02 | 1:01:10 | |
Good morning, it's
Saturday 17th April. | 1:01:20 | 1:01:23 | |
Also this morning: | 1:01:23 | 1:01:27 | |
Police launch a murder investigation
after two women are shot dead | 1:01:27 | 1:01:30 | |
at a house in East Sussex. | 1:01:30 | 1:01:34 | |
100 flights are cancelled
and drivers are told | 1:01:34 | 1:01:38 | |
to expect disruption,
as the "mini beast from | 1:01:38 | 1:01:39 | |
the east" sweeps in. | 1:01:39 | 1:01:46 | |
A bit of a shock to the system. We
have got amber warnings enforced | 1:01:47 | 1:01:52 | |
from the Met Office taking effect
later this afternoon, but it will be | 1:01:52 | 1:01:57 | |
bitterly cold will stop I is
concerned and snow from the mid | 1:01:57 | 1:02:01 | |
afternoon onwards. All the details
in quarter of an hour. | 1:02:01 | 1:02:04 | |
All the details in
quarter of an hour. | 1:02:04 | 1:02:05 | |
In sport, the St Patrick's Day party
heads for Twickenham. | 1:02:05 | 1:02:08 | |
Ireland know they're Six Nations
champions already but victory over | 1:02:08 | 1:02:10 | |
England would give them the Grand
Slam. | 1:02:10 | 1:02:16 | |
Our main story this morning: | 1:02:16 | 1:02:18 | |
Our main story this morning: | 1:02:18 | 1:02:19 | |
Police investigating the murder
of a Russian man in London say | 1:02:19 | 1:02:22 | |
they have begun contacting other
Russian exiles in Britain | 1:02:22 | 1:02:24 | |
to discuss their safety. | 1:02:24 | 1:02:25 | |
Forensics teams have
continued working at the home | 1:02:25 | 1:02:27 | |
of 68-year Nikolai Glushkov,
who was found dead on Monday. | 1:02:27 | 1:02:29 | |
But police say at this stage,
it is not being connected | 1:02:29 | 1:02:32 | |
to the poisoning of former Russian
spy Sergei Skripal and his | 1:02:32 | 1:02:34 | |
daughter in Salisbury. | 1:02:34 | 1:02:35 | |
John McManus reports. | 1:02:35 | 1:02:38 | |
68-year-old Nikolai Glushkov,
found dead at his home | 1:02:38 | 1:02:41 | |
on this unassuming road
in Southwest London on Monday. | 1:02:41 | 1:02:45 | |
But Mr Glushkov's life
was anything but ordinary. | 1:02:45 | 1:02:49 | |
A post mortem has revealed
he was murdered, killed | 1:02:49 | 1:02:52 | |
by compression to the neck. | 1:02:52 | 1:02:54 | |
Unusually, counterterrorism police
are leading the investigation | 1:02:54 | 1:02:57 | |
because of Mr Glushkov's past. | 1:02:57 | 1:03:00 | |
In the 90s he was the director
of Russian airline Aeroflot, | 1:03:00 | 1:03:08 | |
But was jailed after being found
guilty of fraud and | 1:03:09 | 1:03:12 | |
money-laundering. | 1:03:12 | 1:03:12 | |
money-laundering. | 1:03:12 | 1:03:16 | |
He sought political asylum
in the UK and was still | 1:03:16 | 1:03:19 | |
being sued by Russia. | 1:03:19 | 1:03:20 | |
He was friends with Russian
businessmen Boris Berezovsky | 1:03:20 | 1:03:26 | |
who was found hanged in 2013. | 1:03:26 | 1:03:27 | |
An open verdict was recorded
but Mr Glushkov believed | 1:03:27 | 1:03:30 | |
he had been murdered. | 1:03:30 | 1:03:35 | |
Some observers believe
it is time to join the dots. | 1:03:35 | 1:03:40 | |
Mr Glushkov's death fits
into a wider pattern of the last 12 | 1:03:40 | 1:03:45 | |
years of Russian opponents dropping
dead across Europe. | 1:03:45 | 1:03:52 | |
The consequences for the Kremlin
of this were limited for far too | 1:03:53 | 1:03:56 | |
long, the UK response as recently
been much stronger, but there | 1:03:56 | 1:03:58 | |
are still awful lot we could do. | 1:03:58 | 1:04:00 | |
The former PR executive, Lord Bell,
a friend of Mr Glushkov has told | 1:04:00 | 1:04:03 | |
the BBC he suspects he was killed
after being deemed a traitor | 1:04:03 | 1:04:06 | |
by the Russian state. | 1:04:06 | 1:04:07 | |
Police say that at present
there is no link between the murder | 1:04:07 | 1:04:10 | |
in London and the poisoning
of Sergei Skripal and his | 1:04:10 | 1:04:12 | |
daughter in Salisbury. | 1:04:12 | 1:04:15 | |
But some Russian exiles are being
contacted about their safety. | 1:04:15 | 1:04:20 | |
Our reporter John McManus is outside
the Russian embassy this morning. | 1:04:20 | 1:04:28 | |
A lot of new lines coming in and
shuffling in terms of how much | 1:04:28 | 1:04:31 | |
people been told and we understand
that is an international diplomatic | 1:04:31 | 1:04:38 | |
situation. | 1:04:38 | 1:04:43 | |
The police told us last night they
are contacting Russian exiles to | 1:04:44 | 1:04:48 | |
talk to them about their safety.
That does not mean they are in | 1:04:48 | 1:04:51 | |
danger about the safety, but they
want to talk about their | 1:04:51 | 1:04:57 | |
circumstances. The diplomatic
fallout is very tense, given what | 1:04:57 | 1:05:02 | |
happened to Sergei Skripal and his
daughter, who were poisoned using a | 1:05:02 | 1:05:07 | |
nerve agent. Theresa May says that
nerve agent was produced in Soviet | 1:05:07 | 1:05:11 | |
era Russia and is pointing the
finger at Russia and the Russians | 1:05:11 | 1:05:15 | |
had denied all knowledge of what
happened, but the diplomatic row has | 1:05:15 | 1:05:20 | |
been huge. The Prime Minister is
expelling 23 diplomats from the | 1:05:20 | 1:05:24 | |
Russian embassy behind me and the
Russians will respond in kind, | 1:05:24 | 1:05:29 | |
expelling British diplomats from our
embassy in Moscow. The words get | 1:05:29 | 1:05:33 | |
hotter day by day. Yesterday the
Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said | 1:05:33 | 1:05:38 | |
it was overwhelmingly likely that
the Russian president, Vladimir | 1:05:38 | 1:05:43 | |
Putin, had personally ordered that
nerve attack in Salisbury. The | 1:05:43 | 1:05:47 | |
Russians say those comments are
disgusting and they are annoyed by | 1:05:47 | 1:05:51 | |
that. Quite a lot going on
diplomatically. It does not look | 1:05:51 | 1:05:54 | |
like it will cool down any time
soon. | 1:05:54 | 1:05:56 | |
soon. | 1:05:56 | 1:05:58 | |
Police have launched a murder
investigation after two women | 1:05:58 | 1:06:00 | |
were shot and killed at a house
in East Sussex. | 1:06:00 | 1:06:03 | |
Officers were called to an address
in St Leonards on Sea last night. | 1:06:03 | 1:06:06 | |
A man has been arrested. | 1:06:06 | 1:06:08 | |
Marta Newman's report contains
some flashing images. | 1:06:08 | 1:06:13 | |
Officers responded immediately
when they got a report of a shooting | 1:06:13 | 1:06:18 | |
at a house at around 8pm last night. | 1:06:18 | 1:06:22 | |
The road in this seaside town
was closed and local residents | 1:06:22 | 1:06:25 | |
were asked to stay away
from the area and remain indoors. | 1:06:25 | 1:06:29 | |
Police say two women aged
32 and 53 were killed. | 1:06:29 | 1:06:34 | |
Two other women including one
who is pregnant were led to safety | 1:06:34 | 1:06:37 | |
by officers and taken to hospital. | 1:06:37 | 1:06:40 | |
Both were uninjured
but suffering from shock. | 1:06:40 | 1:06:44 | |
A 35-year-old man has been arrested
on suspicion of murder. | 1:06:44 | 1:06:48 | |
He remains in custody
for questioning. | 1:06:48 | 1:06:56 | |
Police have said that the victims
were known to the suspect | 1:06:59 | 1:07:02 | |
and that they are not looking
for anyone else in connection | 1:07:02 | 1:07:04 | |
with the shooting. | 1:07:04 | 1:07:09 | |
The Met Office is issuing an amber
warning for snow and ice in many | 1:07:09 | 1:07:15 | |
areas of Scotland. More than 100
flights to and from Heathrow have | 1:07:15 | 1:07:19 | |
been cancelled. Highways England is
advising motorists to avoid | 1:07:19 | 1:07:24 | |
trans-Pennine roads. | 1:07:24 | 1:07:26 | |
trans-Pennine roads. | 1:07:26 | 1:07:28 | |
The number of hospital admissions
due to older people falling | 1:07:28 | 1:07:30 | |
is expected to rise
to nearly one-thousand a day | 1:07:30 | 1:07:32 | |
by the end of the decade. | 1:07:32 | 1:07:34 | |
That's according to figures obtained
by the Local Government Association. | 1:07:34 | 1:07:36 | |
It's prompted calls for more funding
for adult social care. | 1:07:36 | 1:07:38 | |
After a fall if someone does not
recover fully they are housebound, | 1:07:38 | 1:07:41 | |
they may need to be provided
with home help, meals on wheels, | 1:07:41 | 1:07:44 | |
and it can also have
wider impacts on health, | 1:07:44 | 1:07:47 | |
and it is often a case that
when a person has a serious fall | 1:07:47 | 1:07:53 | |
it is one of the things that
precipitates the slippery slope | 1:07:53 | 1:07:56 | |
of them becoming housebound. | 1:07:56 | 1:07:58 | |
The former deputy director
of the FBI, Andrew McCabe, | 1:07:58 | 1:08:00 | |
has been fired, just hours before
he was due to formally retire. | 1:08:00 | 1:08:04 | |
Mr McCabe had faced repeated
criticism from President Trump. | 1:08:04 | 1:08:06 | |
In a statement he said his sacking
had been politically motivated | 1:08:06 | 1:08:08 | |
and claimed it was part of a wider
effort to taint the FBI | 1:08:08 | 1:08:11 | |
and intelligence professionals. | 1:08:11 | 1:08:15 | |
President Trump tweeted it had been
a great day for democracy. | 1:08:15 | 1:08:21 | |
Tens of thousands of people have
been fleeing and northern town in | 1:08:21 | 1:08:24 | |
Syria. The UN estimates almost
50,000 people have been displaced in | 1:08:24 | 1:08:30 | |
the last few days with reports from
the area that dozens of people were | 1:08:30 | 1:08:34 | |
killed in air strikes on Friday. | 1:08:34 | 1:08:38 | |
At least eight people have been
injured on a faulty ski lift in | 1:08:38 | 1:08:43 | |
Georgia. Skiers and snowboarders
were flung off at speed. Others were | 1:08:43 | 1:08:46 | |
forced to jump from the area as
their seats hurtled backwards down | 1:08:46 | 1:08:52 | |
the mountain. So far no cause has
been given as to what caused it. | 1:08:52 | 1:08:59 | |
Three children are being treated for
infections that may be linked to | 1:08:59 | 1:09:03 | |
bacteria in a water supply and
Glasgow hospital. NHS Strathclyde is | 1:09:03 | 1:09:10 | |
investigating after the discovery at
the Children's Hospital. They are | 1:09:10 | 1:09:15 | |
trying to confirm if the infections
are linked to water contamination. | 1:09:15 | 1:09:25 | |
The greatest showman continues to
dominate the charts and has been | 1:09:25 | 1:09:28 | |
setting at the top of the charts for
ten weeks. | 1:09:28 | 1:09:35 | |
ten weeks. The film is loosely based
on the life of a circus impresario. | 1:09:37 | 1:09:48 | |
The only other album that state at
the top for a longer was Adele's | 1:09:48 | 1:09:53 | |
album 21. | 1:09:53 | 1:10:04 | |
We will have a report on the
weather. | 1:10:06 | 1:10:08 | |
We will have a report

It's almost two weeks since former
Russian spy Sergei Skripal | 1:10:10 | 1:10:12 | |
and his daugher were attacked
with a nerve agent in Salisbury. | 1:10:12 | 1:10:15 | |
The UK is still waiting for a formal
response from Russia, | 1:10:15 | 1:10:18 | |
following the Prime Minister's
decision to expel 23 | 1:10:18 | 1:10:20 | |
Russian diplomats. | 1:10:20 | 1:10:21 | |
Moscow's Foreign Minister has
indicated Russia will "certainly" | 1:10:21 | 1:10:23 | |
expel British diplomats. | 1:10:23 | 1:10:24 | |
Professor Robert Service
is an expert in Russian | 1:10:24 | 1:10:26 | |
history and politics
from the University of Oxford. | 1:10:26 | 1:10:30 | |
Good morning. Thank you for your
time this morning. We are being told | 1:10:30 | 1:10:36 | |
by quite a few politicians this is
not a new Cold War. What is it? It | 1:10:36 | 1:10:42 | |
is something less than a Cold War.
There are two great superpower is | 1:10:42 | 1:10:49 | |
facing up to each other about to
possibly launch nuclear missiles | 1:10:49 | 1:10:52 | |
against each other, so we are a long
way away from that. But it is a very | 1:10:52 | 1:10:59 | |
severe, freezing over of diplomatic
relations between Britain and the | 1:10:59 | 1:11:09 | |
Russian Federation. It is really
serious. When you have the British | 1:11:09 | 1:11:14 | |
Foreign Secretary claiming that
Boris Yeltsin personally ordered the | 1:11:14 | 1:11:22 | |
poisoning in Salisbury, what do you
make of that? I am so sorry I | 1:11:22 | 1:11:30 | |
apologise for that. It is really
easily done. | 1:11:30 | 1:11:39 | |
easily done. I think that he, Boris
Johnson, I have got to get it right | 1:11:39 | 1:11:46 | |
this time, made a very broad
statement. I think we need a few | 1:11:46 | 1:11:53 | |
more assurances that there is
evidence that points directly at the | 1:11:53 | 1:12:03 | |
Russian president. I do think a lot
of the circumstantial evidence | 1:12:03 | 1:12:08 | |
points at the Russian state.
Vladimir Putin certainly does | 1:12:08 | 1:12:17 | |
supervise the work of the FSB. But
whether we can point the finger | 1:12:17 | 1:12:22 | |
directly at him for these appalling
outrages in Salisbury and the murder | 1:12:22 | 1:12:33 | |
of Nikolai Glushkov in London, we
need a lot more evidence. It is | 1:12:33 | 1:12:41 | |
interesting new couch it in that
terminology because we have done | 1:12:41 | 1:12:44 | |
that. Our Foreign Secretary has
exactly personally blamed the | 1:12:44 | 1:12:49 | |
Russian leader for these actions.
Where does this leave the Russian | 1:12:49 | 1:12:53 | |
reaction? We have been talking for
many days about what they may or may | 1:12:53 | 1:12:58 | |
not do. There is an election
happening there. Is there a sense | 1:12:58 | 1:13:02 | |
they will wait until the election is
over and then respond? I think they | 1:13:02 | 1:13:08 | |
have been much more circumspect than
we have been. We rather rushed in to | 1:13:08 | 1:13:15 | |
making the accusations before laying
out the evidence. | 1:13:15 | 1:13:24 | |
out the evidence. Perhaps we have
done this with the relations we have | 1:13:24 | 1:13:27 | |
had with our Western allies, but
this has not been made public yet. | 1:13:27 | 1:13:32 | |
That is one of the problems with the
way that the British Government has | 1:13:32 | 1:13:35 | |
handled this matter. It has not come
into the open with the British | 1:13:35 | 1:13:43 | |
public and it needs to come into the
open with the Russian public as | 1:13:43 | 1:13:45 | |
well. It may be, Professor, that
some people would agree with that | 1:13:45 | 1:13:52 | |
notion, that more evidence should
have been made available. Jeremy | 1:13:52 | 1:13:56 | |
Corbyn is saying it should be
evidence lead. But one of the issues | 1:13:56 | 1:14:00 | |
people suggest no matter what
evidence is put forward, it will | 1:14:00 | 1:14:05 | |
never be enough to satisfy the
Russians and they will always say | 1:14:05 | 1:14:08 | |
regardless of what is presented or
what is independently checked that | 1:14:08 | 1:14:12 | |
it still has nothing to do with
them. It does not get you anywhere. | 1:14:12 | 1:14:17 | |
It does not get you very far except
that it shows a willingness to | 1:14:17 | 1:14:24 | |
discuss the evidence in as concrete
way as you possibly can. But you are | 1:14:24 | 1:14:31 | |
absolutely right. When the Malaysian
airline was downed the Russians just | 1:14:31 | 1:14:38 | |
insisted on 100% proof that it was
definitely them when so much of the | 1:14:38 | 1:14:44 | |
evidence was already there. They
will always say you haven't proved | 1:14:44 | 1:14:50 | |
it 100%. But I think there is a
middle ground between 100% and 0% | 1:14:50 | 1:14:59 | |
and we need a little bit more. We
need more in the public domain so we | 1:14:59 | 1:15:04 | |
can feel confident that we know what
we are talking about. If I may, I | 1:15:04 | 1:15:10 | |
just wanted to bring one story we
are hearing this morning, in the | 1:15:10 | 1:15:16 | |
last few minutes we are hearing the
UK ambassador to Russia in Moscow | 1:15:16 | 1:15:19 | |
has been summoned to a meeting,
called in to a meeting today. That | 1:15:19 | 1:15:27 | |
meeting will be happening today in
Moscow. I just wonder what you make | 1:15:27 | 1:15:30 | |
of that. They are starting to move
the wheels. They are certainly going | 1:15:30 | 1:15:37 | |
to retaliate. One of the benefits
for Vladimir Putin in all of this is | 1:15:37 | 1:15:46 | |
that he is able to be seen by
Russians to stand up to Western | 1:15:46 | 1:15:50 | |
powers. It is on this basis that a
lot of his popularity rests in | 1:15:50 | 1:15:56 | |
Russia. So pulling in the British
ambassador, the old imperial power, | 1:15:56 | 1:16:07 | |
snubbing your nose at the British,
that is quite a popular thing to do. | 1:16:07 | 1:16:13 | |
Professor, thank you very much for
your time. Professor Robert Service | 1:16:13 | 1:16:17 | |
from the University of Oxford.
We understand in the last few | 1:16:17 | 1:16:22 | |
minutes the UK ambassador to Russia
has been summoned to the Russian | 1:16:22 | 1:16:25 | |
Foreign Ministry and this follows a
former spokesperson from the | 1:16:25 | 1:16:29 | |
ministry saying that it would
announce its retaliatory measures | 1:16:29 | 1:16:34 | |
against London very soon. That
meeting is expected to be today for | 1:16:34 | 1:16:38 | |
the UK ambassador to Russia. | 1:16:38 | 1:16:39 | |
the UK ambassador to Russia. | 1:16:39 | 1:16:43 | |
It is 16 minutes past seven. | 1:16:43 | 1:16:50 | |
Also coming up in the programme:
It's the final round of | 1:16:50 | 1:16:52 | |
the Six Nations but can Ireland
complete their Grand Slam by beating | 1:16:52 | 1:16:55 | |
England at Twickenham? | 1:16:55 | 1:16:58 | |
That is a short-lived from the
venue. | 1:16:58 | 1:17:02 | |
It is cold, though. That cup will be
feeling the chill although there | 1:17:02 | 1:17:07 | |
will be very hot hands waiting to
get onto it. But it is called for a | 1:17:07 | 1:17:11 | |
lot of us this morning, Helen. | 1:17:11 | 1:17:15 | |
get onto it. But it is called for a
lot of us this morning, Helen. | 1:17:15 | 1:17:20 | |
Scotland in Rome are probably doing
better off than if they stayed at | 1:17:20 | 1:17:24 | |
home because it will be a shock to
the system for all of us. | 1:17:24 | 1:17:29 | |
Temperatures in all areas are about
10 degrees down. But we are already | 1:17:29 | 1:17:33 | |
having a few issues with ice. We
have some snow around already. We | 1:17:33 | 1:17:38 | |
have exchanged the mild Atlantic air
with the cold Siberian air. But it | 1:17:38 | 1:17:44 | |
is just a mini incursion of cold
air, so it should cut off early next | 1:17:44 | 1:17:49 | |
week. We have a band of patchy snow
falling in Suffolk at the moment. It | 1:17:49 | 1:17:55 | |
is rain in the south-west but it
will turn progressively to sleet and | 1:17:55 | 1:17:58 | |
snow. It is the showers coming in
afterwards and thick and fast | 1:17:58 | 1:18:04 | |
hitting the same area. It will feel
colder than you would expect because | 1:18:04 | 1:18:09 | |
of the strength of the wind. The
best of the sunshine in northern | 1:18:09 | 1:18:14 | |
Scotland. For most of us it is very
low single figures and add on the | 1:18:14 | 1:18:18 | |
gale force wind and it will feel
even colder. If you are heading out, | 1:18:18 | 1:18:24 | |
wrap up warm. The amber warnings are
in force from mid-afternoon onwards. | 1:18:24 | 1:18:32 | |
These areas will see shower after
shower. Because the air is so cold, | 1:18:32 | 1:18:38 | |
they will all fall as snow. There is
another amber warning out for | 1:18:38 | 1:18:42 | |
tonight. It joins in here because we
could have a more significant area | 1:18:42 | 1:18:48 | |
coming in across southern England
and South Wales. There is some | 1:18:48 | 1:18:53 | |
uncertainty over that. You can see
the showers continuing in the South | 1:18:53 | 1:18:56 | |
East, but then they gathered
together for a longer spell of snow | 1:18:56 | 1:19:02 | |
in southern England, South West
England and southern Wales. There is | 1:19:02 | 1:19:06 | |
a lot of uncertainty as to the area
that will affect. Even at lower | 1:19:06 | 1:19:14 | |
levels there could be a few
centimetres. And a widespread chill | 1:19:14 | 1:19:19 | |
tomorrow. Hopefully that snow pushes
out of the way. A potential problem | 1:19:19 | 1:19:24 | |
in southern and western areas before
it finally clears away. A few | 1:19:24 | 1:19:29 | |
showers follow on behind but not as
many. It will still feel cold. But | 1:19:29 | 1:19:34 | |
the wind is still quite strong, so
the chill is still there. But it | 1:19:34 | 1:19:39 | |
does not really last beyond the
weekend because we start to cut off | 1:19:39 | 1:19:43 | |
what we have, that easterly wind
coming right the way across the low | 1:19:43 | 1:19:49 | |
countries of Europe. Snow for the
Alpine regions as well. But we start | 1:19:49 | 1:19:56 | |
to get a high coming in from the
Atlantic instead. If you are heading | 1:19:56 | 1:20:03 | |
out it will be much colder,
especially in Central and southern | 1:20:03 | 1:20:07 | |
areas compared to yesterday, and we
are anticipating increasing issues | 1:20:07 | 1:20:12 | |
with snow as we go through the
latter part of the day tonight and | 1:20:12 | 1:20:15 | |
tomorrow. See you later. | 1:20:15 | 1:20:17 | |
See you later. | 1:20:17 | 1:20:20 | |
Beer, green hats, shamrocks
and celebratory shenanigans. | 1:20:20 | 1:20:23 | |
It can only mean one
thing - St Patricks day! | 1:20:23 | 1:20:30 | |
I was not expecting the word

And it's not just the Irish
commemorating the Patron of Ireland, | 1:20:33 | 1:20:36 | |
it's thought to be the most
celebrated festival in the world. | 1:20:36 | 1:20:39 | |
Over 250 iconic landmarks
across the globe will be | 1:20:39 | 1:20:41 | |
illuminated green this weekend. | 1:20:41 | 1:20:42 | |
Let's have a look at
what we can expect. | 1:20:42 | 1:20:50 | |
IRISH MUSIC PLAYS. | 1:21:00 | 1:21:08 | |
Who's started the party early? | 1:21:36 | 1:21:38 | |
How are you celebrating? | 1:21:38 | 1:21:40 | |
We want to see! | 1:21:40 | 1:21:44 | |
Perhaps you are dressing up. Green
is the obvious colour to adopt. | 1:21:44 | 1:21:48 | |

With the impact of TV programmes
like Blue Planet we are more aware | 1:22:09 | 1:22:12 | |
of the need to recycle
than ever before. | 1:22:12 | 1:22:14 | |
But when it comes to what can
and can't be recycled, | 1:22:14 | 1:22:17 | |
there is a lot of confusion. | 1:22:17 | 1:22:18 | |
That lack of clarity can result
in entire bags of recycling | 1:22:18 | 1:22:21 | |
being rejected and sent to landfill,
according to research carried out | 1:22:21 | 1:22:23 | |
by the British Science Association. | 1:22:23 | 1:22:25 | |
Simon Ellin is the Head of the UK
Recycling Association | 1:22:25 | 1:22:27 | |
and joins us now. | 1:22:27 | 1:22:30 | |
Good morning. We are going to go
through some stuff today. People are | 1:22:30 | 1:22:38 | |
to a degree slightly confused about
what they can and cannot recycle. | 1:22:38 | 1:22:41 | |
Give us the broad picture. There are
so many different products out there | 1:22:46 | 1:22:52 | |
that are badly designed, that are
not labelled properly. We have 340 | 1:22:52 | 1:22:58 | |
plus different collection systems in
the UK, so the public are confused. | 1:22:58 | 1:23:03 | |
You are talking about the bins you
have and what you can put in which | 1:23:03 | 1:23:07 | |
bin? What goes where, absolutely,
and getting the education and the | 1:23:07 | 1:23:13 | |
marketing from the councils across
to the public to say what you can | 1:23:13 | 1:23:17 | |
and cannot recycle and how you do
it. It is something we need to look | 1:23:17 | 1:23:20 | |
at because it is a big problem. A
lot of materials are getting wasted | 1:23:20 | 1:23:25 | |
and cross contaminating other
materials. What happens if something | 1:23:25 | 1:23:31 | |
is cross contaminated? What is the
impact? If you have a whole load of | 1:23:31 | 1:23:37 | |
stuff that is recyclable and there
is something that is not, what | 1:23:37 | 1:23:42 | |
happens? It is a great question.
Basically what happens is it | 1:23:42 | 1:23:49 | |
contaminates the other things that
is recyclable. 20% on average of | 1:23:49 | 1:23:55 | |
what goes into our recycling bin at
home is contamination. That | 1:23:55 | 1:23:59 | |
contaminates everything else, so you
get food leaking which contaminates | 1:23:59 | 1:24:04 | |
paper and that means when it goes
through the process and get out the | 1:24:04 | 1:24:07 | |
other side the quality of the
material is sometimes marginal | 1:24:07 | 1:24:13 | |
whether you can take it on for
recycling. Bad practice at the | 1:24:13 | 1:24:18 | |
beginning produces bad practice at
the end. Fancy a quiz? I hope so, I | 1:24:18 | 1:24:24 | |
hope I get it right. These are
questions of what can and cannot be | 1:24:24 | 1:24:29 | |
recycled. Plastic bags, yes or no?
Sometimes yes, sometimes no and that | 1:24:29 | 1:24:37 | |
is part of the confusion. | 1:24:37 | 1:24:45 | |
is part of the confusion. Aerosols?
Yes. The whole can? The whole thing. | 1:24:45 | 1:24:52 | |
Where do you put it? If you have got
a separate collection for cans, if | 1:24:52 | 1:24:58 | |
not, you put it in with everything
else. It is a ferrous metal. There | 1:24:58 | 1:25:05 | |
are plastic bits in it as well? That
will be taken off in the process. | 1:25:05 | 1:25:11 | |
Envelopes with Windows? | 1:25:11 | 1:25:18 | |
Envelopes with Windows? With the
windows on, but if you are like me | 1:25:18 | 1:25:21 | |
and you take the window of, yes.
Kitchen roll. | 1:25:21 | 1:25:30 | |
The reason this is up is because of
how kitchen roll is made, if it is | 1:25:30 | 1:25:36 | |
coated or things like that. This is
why we put this in. A lot of the | 1:25:36 | 1:25:41 | |
time when you have used it it has
got food contamination and it can | 1:25:41 | 1:25:45 | |
have all sorts of germs and
bacteria, so it is no. The person on | 1:25:45 | 1:25:51 | |
the buzzer just slightly jumped the
gun. Because of the food | 1:25:51 | 1:25:55 | |
contamination. So can I ask, this
year, say it is like a punnet full | 1:25:55 | 1:26:04 | |
of strawberries and it has that thin
plastic on top, which bit can be | 1:26:04 | 1:26:11 | |
recycled? All of it. I have been
told I cannot put a thin plastic in | 1:26:11 | 1:26:20 | |
my recycling bin. This comes back to
the 340 different collection | 1:26:20 | 1:26:25 | |
systems. I can put plastic film in
my cycling bin at home, but in other | 1:26:25 | 1:26:31 | |
places you cannot. This is where we
have to get down to consistency. | 1:26:31 | 1:26:36 | |
Anything plastic, as long as it is a
single polymer plastic can be | 1:26:36 | 1:26:39 | |
recycled. It is a clear plastic
punnet and it is infinitely | 1:26:39 | 1:26:45 | |
recyclable. It should be washed
before being recycle? Always watch | 1:26:45 | 1:26:52 | |
it so the food and the liquid does
not cross contaminate everything | 1:26:52 | 1:26:56 | |
else. Then you are wasting water. Do
it in your washing-up water. Does | 1:26:56 | 1:27:04 | |
not get washed in the process when
it is being recycle? Yes, but there | 1:27:04 | 1:27:10 | |
is an element of cross contamination
which leaks into the cardboard and | 1:27:10 | 1:27:16 | |
everything else. Also as well it
might not immediately get recycled. | 1:27:16 | 1:27:23 | |
If that has had food in it for
several days before it gets recycle, | 1:27:23 | 1:27:27 | |
you get bacteria and mould and there
is damage. This is where we need to | 1:27:27 | 1:27:33 | |
get very simple rules add to the
public so they know exactly what | 1:27:33 | 1:27:36 | |
they can and cannot do. Thank you so
much for coming in this morning. | 1:27:36 | 1:27:44 | |
Thank you so much for
coming in this morning. | 1:27:44 | 1:27:46 | |
Dealing with the life changing
effects of a traumatic event | 1:27:46 | 1:27:48 | |
or tragedy can be incredibly tough. | 1:27:48 | 1:27:50 | |
But for some, one way
to cope is to write. | 1:27:50 | 1:27:55 | |
Now a series of workshops
across the UK - which are part | 1:27:55 | 1:27:58 | |
of 'Get Creative', a national
festival to encourage creativity - | 1:27:58 | 1:28:00 | |
are helping people to use writing
to deal with difficult feelings. | 1:28:00 | 1:28:06 | |
David Sillito has been speaking
to three people who have found hope | 1:28:06 | 1:28:09 | |
from writing poetry. | 1:28:09 | 1:28:10 | |
It helps me far more
than a psychiatry I've had. | 1:28:10 | 1:28:17 | |
So on those days of victory,
proud David, you will see, | 1:28:17 | 1:28:20 | |
but on those days I have no stones. | 1:28:20 | 1:28:22 | |
You'll see the ghost of me. | 1:28:22 | 1:28:26 | |
I'm Karl Tierney. | 1:28:26 | 1:28:30 | |
I think there's a lot of residue
in my brain from Bosnia. | 1:28:30 | 1:28:32 | |
I feel like I'm David
with slingshot and small stones. | 1:28:32 | 1:28:36 | |
I fight the life daily. | 1:28:36 | 1:28:38 | |
I fight his moans and groans. | 1:28:38 | 1:28:41 | |
And it has unlocked or tapped
into this area of my brain. | 1:28:41 | 1:28:46 | |
The creativity can also bring me
a sense of some sort of solace. | 1:28:46 | 1:28:53 | |
Laboured breath, sweaty brow,
not long left of this nightmare. | 1:28:56 | 1:29:00 | |
Can I wake up now? | 1:29:00 | 1:29:03 | |
My name is Nicky Tomasi. | 1:29:03 | 1:29:04 | |
I'm the lucky one, they say. | 1:29:04 | 1:29:06 | |
The one that got away. | 1:29:06 | 1:29:10 | |
My son was at the Manchester Arena
last year, and unfortunately | 1:29:10 | 1:29:12 | |
lost his partner Martin there. | 1:29:12 | 1:29:16 | |
So, consequently, I've been having
counselling because of that, | 1:29:16 | 1:29:19 | |
and my counsellor suggested that
writing might be able to help me | 1:29:19 | 1:29:24 | |
to get my feelings out. | 1:29:24 | 1:29:26 | |
I don't feel lucky. | 1:29:26 | 1:29:29 | |
I carry the aftermath in my head. | 1:29:29 | 1:29:32 | |
Dread upon waking, and long nights
full of vivid dreams. | 1:29:32 | 1:29:37 | |
I know that I struggle with it
all and it ten months, | 1:29:37 | 1:29:48 | |
but it's definitely...
all and it ten months, | 1:29:48 | 1:29:49 | |
This, I would say, this
is the first concrete thing that | 1:29:49 | 1:29:53 | |
has really helped me,
and I've got countless friends, | 1:29:53 | 1:29:55 | |
I've got family I can talk to,
but this is the first concrete thing | 1:29:55 | 1:29:58 | |
that has really helped me. | 1:29:58 | 1:29:59 | |
I'm Martin Figuero. | 1:29:59 | 1:30:03 | |
I'm a writer and the reason I'm
here is that my father | 1:30:03 | 1:30:06 | |
killed my mother when I was nine. | 1:30:06 | 1:30:09 | |
The family sits round the table
ready for the meal which is me. | 1:30:09 | 1:30:14 | |
So he was from Silesia,
which is now in Poland, | 1:30:14 | 1:30:17 | |
but had been in Germany,
so when he was 14, | 1:30:17 | 1:30:21 | |
joined the Hitler Youth. | 1:30:21 | 1:30:23 | |
There was no choice in this. | 1:30:23 | 1:30:25 | |
And then he was conscripted
into the German army. | 1:30:25 | 1:30:28 | |
It was almost like the Second World
War 20 years on swept | 1:30:28 | 1:30:31 | |
through our house one night,
and he killed her. | 1:30:31 | 1:30:35 | |
Uncle Philip as head
of the family sharpens the knife. | 1:30:35 | 1:30:39 | |
It seems stupid now. | 1:30:39 | 1:30:40 | |
It's just metaphor. | 1:30:40 | 1:30:44 | |
It was like metaphor,
and in that metaphorical truth | 1:30:44 | 1:30:47 | |
I learned more about myself
and my experience than any recall | 1:30:47 | 1:30:51 | |
of facts and laying down of facts,
and that was a real | 1:30:51 | 1:30:54 | |
breakthrough for me. | 1:30:54 | 1:31:02 | |
There are more than a thousand
creative events happening | 1:31:03 | 1:31:06 | |
across the UK as part
of the Get Creative Festival. | 1:31:06 | 1:31:10 | |

Hello. | 1:31:39 | 1:31:41 | |
This is Breakfast with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 1:31:41 | 1:31:43 | |
Good Morning. | 1:31:43 | 1:31:44 | |
Here's a summary of today's main
stories from BBC News. | 1:31:44 | 1:31:50 | |
The police have launched a murder
investigation after two women were | 1:31:50 | 1:31:53 | |
shot and killed at a house in east
Sussex. Officers were called to an | 1:31:53 | 1:31:59 | |
address in Saint Leonard's on Sea
last night. A 35-year-old man has | 1:31:59 | 1:32:03 | |
been arrested. The victims, aged 52
and 53, were known to be suspect. | 1:32:03 | 1:32:08 | |
Police say they are not looking for
anybody else in connection with the | 1:32:08 | 1:32:13 | |
shooting. The UK ambassador in
Russia has been summoned to a | 1:32:13 | 1:32:17 | |
meeting at the Russian foreign
ministry. It comes after the Kremlin | 1:32:17 | 1:32:22 | |
indicated it would retaliate after
the Prime Minister expelled 23 | 1:32:22 | 1:32:25 | |
Russian diplomats from the UK. It
has now been almost a week since the | 1:32:25 | 1:32:29 | |
nerve agent attack on former spy
Sergei Skripal and his daughter in | 1:32:29 | 1:32:32 | |
Salisbury. Yesterday's announcement
of the exile in south London | 1:32:32 | 1:32:41 | |
occurred. Police say these two
incidents are not connected. | 1:32:41 | 1:32:44 | |
The Met Office is issuing an amber
warning for snow and ice in much | 1:32:44 | 1:32:47 | |
of England and parts of Scotland,
ahead of another cold snap. | 1:32:47 | 1:32:50 | |
More than 100 flights
to and from Heathrow have been | 1:32:50 | 1:32:52 | |
cancelled ahead of predicted bad
weather dubbed the mini | 1:32:52 | 1:32:55 | |
beast from the east. | 1:32:55 | 1:32:56 | |
Highways England is advising
motorists to avoid | 1:32:56 | 1:32:57 | |
trans-Pennine roads. | 1:32:57 | 1:32:59 | |
The former deputy director
of the FBI has been dramatically | 1:32:59 | 1:33:01 | |
fired, just hours before he was due
to formally retire. | 1:33:01 | 1:33:04 | |
Andrew McCabe said his sacking had
been politically motivated, | 1:33:04 | 1:33:08 | |
and claimed it was part of a wider
effort to taint the FBI. | 1:33:08 | 1:33:12 | |
President Trump tweeted it had been
a "great day for democracy". | 1:33:12 | 1:33:17 | |
The number of hospital admissions
due to older people falling | 1:33:17 | 1:33:25 | |
is expected to rise to nearly 1,000
a day by the end of the decade. | 1:33:25 | 1:33:29 | |
That's according to figures obtained
by the Local Government Association. | 1:33:29 | 1:33:32 | |
It's prompted calls for more funding
for adult social care. | 1:33:32 | 1:33:36 | |
It might have been panned by some
critics but Hugh Jackman's | 1:33:36 | 1:33:44 | |
critics but Hugh Jackman's musical
The Greatest Showman continues to | 1:33:44 | 1:33:46 | |
dominate the music charts, sitting
at the top of the UK charts for ten | 1:33:46 | 1:33:50 | |
weeks. | 1:33:50 | 1:33:57 | |
weeks. The film is loosely based on
the life of circus impresario PT | 1:33:57 | 1:34:08 | |
Barnum, the greatest showman.
Adele's 21 managed 21 weeks on the | 1:34:08 | 1:34:14 | |
top spot. Is it true that if we keep
the music going, you can sing along? | 1:34:14 | 1:34:19 | |
You know all the words. I tell you
what, my eight-year-old son Evan | 1:34:19 | 1:34:24 | |
does. He is learning it in music and
primary school at the moment. So you | 1:34:24 | 1:34:27 | |
have heard it a lot? I have heard it
a lot. You can probably do bee | 1:34:27 | 1:34:32 | |
numbers for us. OK, if we raise
enough money in Sport Belief. Be | 1:34:32 | 1:34:40 | |
careful! Really looking forward to
the rugby, changing the subject | 1:34:40 | 1:34:43 | |
quickly. | 1:34:43 | 1:34:45 | |
So, can Ireland complete
the Grand Slam today? | 1:34:45 | 1:34:47 | |
They'll have to do it at Twickenham,
where England haven't lost | 1:34:47 | 1:34:50 | |
a match under Eddie Jones. | 1:34:50 | 1:34:51 | |
Let's ask our sports correspondent
Ollie Foster, who's there for us. | 1:34:51 | 1:34:54 | |
Who's the smart money on, Olly? | 1:34:54 | 1:35:02 | |
It is so tactical. This is where it
all starts for Ireland. A fantastic | 1:35:02 | 1:35:08 | |
afternoon of rugby head. The final
round of matches. A triple bill. | 1:35:08 | 1:35:13 | |
Sandwiched in the middle is this
match at Twickenham. I'm outside the | 1:35:13 | 1:35:17 | |
island dressing room. They can't
miss it, can they? The England team | 1:35:17 | 1:35:21 | |
will be in here. The England
dressing room is much bigger. Can't | 1:35:21 | 1:35:24 | |
get in. It is locked. The two sets
of players will be coming down here. | 1:35:24 | 1:35:29 | |
England- Eddie Jones has made all of
the changes. Seven personal changes, | 1:35:29 | 1:35:34 | |
ten changes in all. Ireland just the
one change. Ireland have been | 1:35:34 | 1:35:39 | |
getting stronger and stronger, and
England have seemed to have gone | 1:35:39 | 1:35:43 | |
backwards. They lost that incredible
match against Scotland, they lost | 1:35:43 | 1:35:47 | |
against the French. Imagine they
roar when they come out of year. | 1:35:47 | 1:35:52 | |
80,000. Could not get a ticket for
love nor money. But very, very | 1:35:52 | 1:35:57 | |
expensive to get a ticket. And there
it is. That is what it is all about | 1:35:57 | 1:36:02 | |
for Ireland. They won this last week
after they beat Scotland in Dublin. | 1:36:02 | 1:36:05 | |
Muted celebrations because they knew
that this was what it was all about. | 1:36:05 | 1:36:12 | |
The grand slam. Very rarely done in
the last seven years. England | 1:36:12 | 1:36:15 | |
obviously did it the year before
last and that it was Ireland to | 1:36:15 | 1:36:19 | |
scupper their chances last season in
Dublin, so it is kind of a reverse. | 1:36:19 | 1:36:25 | |
On the flip, England, the best they
can hope for a second and trying to | 1:36:25 | 1:36:28 | |
upset Ireland and their hopes for
the grand slam. You look at the | 1:36:28 | 1:36:32 | |
names year. You have England,
England, so on for a hat-trick. You | 1:36:32 | 1:36:36 | |
have Ireland in 2014 and 2015. You
go back to 2009. That is when | 1:36:36 | 1:36:42 | |
Ireland last grand slam. And you
would have to go back 61 years | 1:36:42 | 1:36:47 | |
before the previous time that they
did that. So that is what it is all | 1:36:47 | 1:36:50 | |
about. Ireland will have this
trophy, but it is all about the | 1:36:50 | 1:36:54 | |
grand slam. We have got Italy
against Scotland before that, and | 1:36:54 | 1:36:57 | |
then it all rounds up from half past
four on BBC we have Wales against | 1:36:57 | 1:37:02 | |
France. So it is going to be a great
afternoon of rugby. Thank you so | 1:37:02 | 1:37:08 | |
much. Windy there at Twickenham
today. | 1:37:08 | 1:37:11 | |
England's women ended their Six
Nations with victory over Ireland - | 1:37:11 | 1:37:13 | |
but they finished runners
up to France. | 1:37:13 | 1:37:15 | |
England won by 33 points to 11
at the Ricoh Arena - | 1:37:15 | 1:37:18 | |
Danielle Waterman becoming
the nation's leading | 1:37:18 | 1:37:21 | |
try-scorer with 47 -
she's now just two tries short | 1:37:21 | 1:37:27 | |
of Rory Underwood's
overall England record. | 1:37:27 | 1:37:29 | |
France took the title
with victory over Wales. | 1:37:29 | 1:37:31 | |
Great Britain are still short
of their medals target, | 1:37:31 | 1:37:33 | |
on the penultimate day
of competition at the Winter | 1:37:33 | 1:37:35 | |
Paralympics in South Korea. | 1:37:35 | 1:37:38 | |
Let's go over to Pyeongchang now
and our reporter Kate Grey can | 1:37:38 | 1:37:41 | |
bring us up to date. | 1:37:41 | 1:37:48 | |
Yes, that's right. It has been a
very quiet day for British athletes. | 1:37:48 | 1:37:53 | |
Just two athletes in action. We will
start at the Alpine skiing. James | 1:37:53 | 1:37:57 | |
Whitley was going in his big event
of these games. He has finished | 1:37:57 | 1:38:00 | |
outside of the medals in all of
those events so far. This time, he | 1:38:00 | 1:38:03 | |
was going in the slalom, which is
his preferred event on what was a | 1:38:03 | 1:38:07 | |
very tricky course, very icy, very
widely, and also a very tough | 1:38:07 | 1:38:12 | |
category. He ended up | 1:38:12 | 1:38:17 | |
category. He ended up finishing in
ten, which is one of his best | 1:38:18 | 1:38:20 | |
performances here at these games and
is an improvement from his | 1:38:20 | 1:38:22 | |
performances back in Sochi four
years ago. He is still a long way | 1:38:22 | 1:38:25 | |
off from the medals and will look to
improve on that. There is British | 1:38:25 | 1:38:29 | |
interest in the Nordic skiing. It
was cross country today. The seven | 1:38:29 | 1:38:33 | |
and a half kilometre distance for
Scott Mina, who was going in his | 1:38:33 | 1:38:36 | |
sixth event of these games. He has
had a very busy programme. He only | 1:38:36 | 1:38:40 | |
got into Nordic skiing about 18
months ago, and today he finished | 1:38:40 | 1:38:44 | |
14th, so our way back from the
medallists, but still a great | 1:38:44 | 1:38:52 | |
performance from the British athlete
and he will look to aim for Beijing | 1:38:52 | 1:38:55 | |
2022 after these games. Still a lot
to do for Great Britain as they move | 1:38:55 | 1:38:58 | |
into the last day with all eyes on
the visually impaired Alpine skiers. | 1:38:58 | 1:39:00 | |
Thank you. It looked warmer there
than it did at Twickenham. | 1:39:00 | 1:39:03 | |
If you thought you'd seen it
all where Jose Mourinho's concerned, | 1:39:03 | 1:39:05 | |
well, you were wrong. | 1:39:05 | 1:39:08 | |
He gave a 12 minute answer
at his press conference yesterday, | 1:39:08 | 1:39:12 | |
uninterrupted, defending
Manchester United's | 1:39:12 | 1:39:13 | |
shock exit to Sevilla
in | 1:39:13 | 1:39:14 | |
the Champions League. | 1:39:14 | 1:39:15 | |
Here's just a snippet of his rant. | 1:39:15 | 1:39:17 | |
I'm not going to cry
because I heard a few boos. | 1:39:17 | 1:39:21 | |
I'm not going to disappear. | 1:39:21 | 1:39:24 | |
When I was 20 years
old I was nobody in football. | 1:39:24 | 1:39:29 | |
And now at 55 I am what I am and I
did what I did because of work, | 1:39:29 | 1:39:33 | |
because of my talent
and my mentality. | 1:39:33 | 1:39:36 | |
I could be in another country
with the league in my pocket, | 1:39:36 | 1:39:41 | |
the kind of league that you win even
before the league starts. | 1:39:41 | 1:39:44 | |
I could be. | 1:39:44 | 1:39:45 | |
I am not, I am here. | 1:39:45 | 1:39:47 | |
It was a frustrating evening
for Hibernian as they missed | 1:39:47 | 1:39:49 | |
the chance to go third
in the Scottish Premiership. | 1:39:49 | 1:39:52 | |
Hibs went ahead in the second
minute, had their keeper | 1:39:52 | 1:39:54 | |
sent off not long after,
and held out until the final | 1:39:54 | 1:39:57 | |
stages when Chris Kane
equalised for St Johnstone. | 1:39:57 | 1:40:04 | |
The Cheltenham Gold Cup is one
of the biggest racing | 1:40:04 | 1:40:07 | |
events of the year -
and we got a contest | 1:40:07 | 1:40:09 | |
which lived up to that billing. | 1:40:09 | 1:40:10 | |
It was, literally, a two horse race
with Native River holding off | 1:40:10 | 1:40:13 | |
the favourite Might Bite. | 1:40:13 | 1:40:15 | |
That gave jockey Richard Johnson his
second Gold Cup triump - | 1:40:15 | 1:40:18 | |
and a first for trainer
Colin Tizzard. | 1:40:18 | 1:40:26 | |
It was the champions
of Super League against the leaders | 1:40:27 | 1:40:29 | |
Leeds Rhinos, won. | 1:40:29 | 1:40:31 | |
of Super League last
night, and the champions, | 1:40:31 | 1:40:33 | |
Leeds Rhinos, won. | 1:40:33 | 1:40:34 | |
They ended St Helens unbeaten run
since the start of the season thanks | 1:40:34 | 1:40:37 | |
to a strong second half performance. | 1:40:37 | 1:40:38 | |
Ash Handley scored two
of the Rhinos' five tries. | 1:40:38 | 1:40:40 | |
Elsewhere Salford beat Hull FC. | 1:40:40 | 1:40:42 | |
Some tennis news for you and Venus
Williams has been knocked | 1:40:42 | 1:40:45 | |
out in the semi-finals
at Indian Wells and so has world | 1:40:45 | 1:40:48 | |
number one Simona Halep. | 1:40:48 | 1:40:51 | |
Williams lost to Russia's Daria
Kasatkina, who's beaten four | 1:40:51 | 1:40:53 | |
Grand Slam champions on her way
to the final where she'll meet | 1:40:53 | 1:40:56 | |
Naomi Osaka of Japan. | 1:40:56 | 1:41:03 | |
Now to the second of our
Commonwealth Games previews. | 1:41:03 | 1:41:10 | |
Last week we saw the youngest
athlete, Wales' 11-year-old | 1:41:10 | 1:41:12 | |
table tennis player. | 1:41:12 | 1:41:13 | |
This week Mike has been to train
with one of the oldest. | 1:41:13 | 1:41:16 | |
67-year-old David Calvert is heading
to his 11th Games to compete | 1:41:16 | 1:41:19 | |
in the highest calibre shooting
event, full bore rifle. | 1:41:19 | 1:41:25 | |
Before he left, Mike went to train
with David and his partner in Surrey | 1:41:25 | 1:41:28 | |
although it was more like Siberia. | 1:41:28 | 1:41:36 | |
He is arguably
the best in the world. | 1:41:46 | 1:41:48 | |
You're aiming at a target
which could be 900 metres away. | 1:41:48 | 1:41:52 | |
A little black dot on the horizon,
a bull's-eye the size of a dinner | 1:41:52 | 1:41:56 | |
plate, and yet in conditions more
akin to Siberia, one David Calvert, | 1:41:56 | 1:42:01 | |
now in his 60s and going to his 11th
Commonwealth Games, will hit 99% | 1:42:01 | 1:42:04 | |
of the time. | 1:42:04 | 1:42:09 | |
It is a sport that you can start
in your teens and continue well past | 1:42:09 | 1:42:12 | |
normal retirement age,
you can compete and be | 1:42:12 | 1:42:14 | |
competitive for decades. | 1:42:14 | 1:42:18 | |
It is the challenge of the wind
effect and also the skills | 1:42:18 | 1:42:22 | |
of firing a good shot. | 1:42:22 | 1:42:27 | |
There is a crack, you see
the splash of the sound, | 1:42:27 | 1:42:31 | |
can you feel the buzz in the target,
you pull it down, it | 1:42:31 | 1:42:39 | |
is good for your stomach muscles. | 1:42:41 | 1:42:42 | |
Give it another push,
and at this point there would be | 1:42:42 | 1:42:45 | |
another hole in the target. | 1:42:45 | 1:42:46 | |
The maximum possible score
in the individual Commonwealth Games | 1:42:46 | 1:42:48 | |
event is 405 points. | 1:42:48 | 1:42:51 | |
David scored 404 to set the record. | 1:42:51 | 1:42:53 | |
Wow. | 1:42:53 | 1:42:58 | |
David is used to being carried
to the podium, as is the tradition | 1:42:58 | 1:43:02 | |
in fullbore rifle shooting,
having won four Commonwealth | 1:43:02 | 1:43:05 | |
golds for his native
Northern Ireland and four bronze. | 1:43:05 | 1:43:09 | |
It is regarded as a blue-ribbon
event by quite a few | 1:43:09 | 1:43:11 | |
in the sport of shooting,
partly because of the heritage. | 1:43:11 | 1:43:14 | |
This is where it all started back
in 1860, with the award | 1:43:14 | 1:43:17 | |
of the Queen's prize
by Queen Victoria. | 1:43:17 | 1:43:20 | |
Never been that comfortable around
large bangs, but what worried me | 1:43:20 | 1:43:23 | |
most as I was invited to take a shot
in this high-calibre sport | 1:43:23 | 1:43:26 | |
is how far the bullet can
travel in that wind. | 1:43:26 | 1:43:32 | |
Fresh winds today would blow
the bullet by ten feet. | 1:43:32 | 1:43:37 | |
It is why in pairs you rely
on your partner to help | 1:43:37 | 1:43:41 | |
you line up your shot. | 1:43:41 | 1:43:42 | |
Line up the sights... | 1:43:42 | 1:43:44 | |
Take your time. | 1:43:44 | 1:43:46 | |
It is all about mental
strength under pressure. | 1:43:46 | 1:43:50 | |
Ready when you are. | 1:43:50 | 1:43:57 | |
Just squeeze gently. | 1:43:57 | 1:44:01 | |
You do feel a slight thud,
once it is pushing to your shoulder, | 1:44:01 | 1:44:04 | |
the whole body takes it. | 1:44:04 | 1:44:06 | |
The shot that is showing
is a simple bull's-eye. | 1:44:06 | 1:44:11 | |
I would stop while you are ahead. | 1:44:11 | 1:44:13 | |
I will leave it there,
to 25-year-old Jack Alexander | 1:44:13 | 1:44:15 | |
to partner David at the Commonwealth
Games. | 1:44:15 | 1:44:23 | |
It's a privilege to shoot alongside
David, and are not many people | 1:44:29 | 1:44:32 | |
in the game who would be at the top
of their game for as long as David | 1:44:32 | 1:44:36 | |
had, he is passing on his knowledge
and enjoys me doing well as well. | 1:44:36 | 1:44:39 | |
All that Jack and David are aiming
for now is a Commonwealth golds. | 1:44:39 | 1:44:47 | |
What an incredibly slow hand you
have to have to do that. Certainly | 1:44:51 | 1:44:56 | |
won't have a drip on his nose out
there unless it is wet. | 1:44:56 | 1:45:06 | |
I very much doubt that anyone will
be getting a sweat on this weekend, | 1:45:06 | 1:45:10 | |
because it is going to be called.
That is an understatement. | 1:45:10 | 1:45:15 | |
because it is going to be called.
That is an understatement. | 1:45:15 | 1:45:17 | |
It will be a real shock to the
system. The easterly wind is back | 1:45:17 | 1:45:21 | |
and with it the issues of snow and
ice. The Met office amber warning | 1:45:21 | 1:45:26 | |
has come into force from
mid-afternoon. We already have snow | 1:45:26 | 1:45:28 | |
and ice because we have shifted from
the Atlantic south-westerly is to | 1:45:28 | 1:45:33 | |
the Siberian easterlies. The high
pressure too far away to cut off | 1:45:33 | 1:45:36 | |
that flowing to stop the snow
showers, so they will start to come | 1:45:36 | 1:45:39 | |
in big and fast. This is the band of
rain, sleet and snow that we have | 1:45:39 | 1:45:43 | |
sinking southwards, so some
centimetres in parts of Sussex. It | 1:45:43 | 1:45:47 | |
will turn to sleet and snow and then
Peter out. We are expecting to see | 1:45:47 | 1:45:53 | |
more significant amounts of snow in
the shower is behind it. This will | 1:45:53 | 1:45:57 | |
cause things to be a little on the
slippery side. These are daytime | 1:45:57 | 1:46:01 | |
temperatures. Remember we had 14
Celsius yesterday. What a shock. 10 | 1:46:01 | 1:46:06 | |
degrees down. And then we have a
gale force winds which is buffeting | 1:46:06 | 1:46:11 | |
parts of Wales and Cumbria. This
strength of wind you get what is | 1:46:11 | 1:46:14 | |
cold rotors streaming which are very
gusty winds to the west of | 1:46:14 | 1:46:18 | |
mountains. Let's concentrate on the
snow and ice. The showers will be | 1:46:18 | 1:46:22 | |
focused across parts of northern
England and the Midlands and perhaps | 1:46:22 | 1:46:25 | |
the east of Wales. Also across the
south-east of England and into | 1:46:25 | 1:46:29 | |
Essex. Trundling down the Thames
Valley. And then tonight as well as | 1:46:29 | 1:46:34 | |
that we could have a more
significant spell of snow across | 1:46:34 | 1:46:37 | |
southern England and South Wales.
Let's take a look at how it is | 1:46:37 | 1:46:39 | |
looking through the latter part of
today. There we are with that strong | 1:46:39 | 1:46:44 | |
near gale force easterly wind
blowing snow showers across the | 1:46:44 | 1:46:47 | |
country, across other areas as well.
Not everywhere will see them but | 1:46:47 | 1:46:51 | |
they will start to pile up. This is
the more significant area of snow. | 1:46:51 | 1:46:56 | |
We still have some uncertainty on
how much we will see, but several | 1:46:56 | 1:46:59 | |
centimetres will cause disruption
and it will stick because | 1:46:59 | 1:47:02 | |
temperatures are below freezing. It
will be a hard, penetrating frost | 1:47:02 | 1:47:06 | |
tonight because of the strength of
that wind on a great Saint Patrick's | 1:47:06 | 1:47:09 | |
a evening. Bitterly cold. And then
as we go through tomorrow, that snow | 1:47:09 | 1:47:13 | |
is still with us. We think there
will be some snow showers following | 1:47:13 | 1:47:17 | |
on behind and it will be very cold
indeed. We could have significant | 1:47:17 | 1:47:20 | |
problems, as you can appreciate,
with several hours of snow falling | 1:47:20 | 1:47:24 | |
in some southern parts of the
country. Sunshine in Belfast, but | 1:47:24 | 1:47:29 | |
for most of us are very cold day.
Perhaps not quite as harsh as today | 1:47:29 | 1:47:35 | |
adding on the wind-chill. Does it
last? No. It looks as though that | 1:47:35 | 1:47:40 | |
easterly wind will be cut off.
High-pressure drifts into the | 1:47:40 | 1:47:43 | |
Atlantic and we will see the
northerly winds instead coming from | 1:47:43 | 1:47:47 | |
not a particularly one direction but
at least it cuts off that really | 1:47:47 | 1:47:51 | |
icy, cold Siberian error that we
have got at the moment that brings | 1:47:51 | 1:47:53 | |
the risk of ice and snow. Bitterly
cold at the moment in contrast to | 1:47:53 | 1:47:57 | |
last week and a real issue we think
with snow. As you saw, those amber | 1:47:57 | 1:48:02 | |
warnings. For the north-east of
England and south-east England and | 1:48:02 | 1:48:05 | |
then later on tonight in southern
areas of England and Wales, I'm | 1:48:05 | 1:48:10 | |
afraid it's not great news, is it?
Oh, dear. You're just the deliverer | 1:48:10 | 1:48:16 | |
of the news. You are not making it.
Thank you. See you later. | 1:48:16 | 1:48:21 | |
We'll be back with
the headlines at 8. | 1:48:21 | 1:48:23 | |
Now it's for Newswatch
with Samira Amhed. | 1:48:23 | 1:48:27 | |
Hello and welcome to Newswatch. | 1:48:27 | 1:48:33 | |
Was the BBC too slow to report
on claims that up to 1000 children | 1:48:33 | 1:48:36 | |
in Telford may have been victims
of abuse by grooming gangs | 1:48:36 | 1:48:39 | |
of mainly Pakistani heritage? | 1:48:39 | 1:48:47 | |
And as calls are made
for the Kremlin-backed TV station | 1:48:48 | 1:48:54 | |
Russia Today to be taken off the air
in Britain, should question | 1:48:54 | 1:48:57 | |
Time have chosen one
of its presenters as a guest? | 1:48:57 | 1:49:00 | |
First, the nerve agent attack
on Sergei Skripal and his daughter | 1:49:00 | 1:49:03 | |
Yulia continued to dominate the news
agenda this week, raising many | 1:49:03 | 1:49:05 | |
questions for BBC News. | 1:49:05 | 1:49:06 | |
One was the extent to
which Theresa May's unequivocal | 1:49:06 | 1:49:09 | |
statement that Russia was culpable
for the attack should be taken | 1:49:09 | 1:49:13 | |
on trust or challenged. | 1:49:13 | 1:49:16 | |
Some members of the audience felt
the BBC had erred too much | 1:49:16 | 1:49:19 | |
in the former direction,
with Derek Coulson writing: | 1:49:19 | 1:49:27 | |
And George Skinner agreed: | 1:49:33 | 1:49:40 | |
The Prime Minister
announced on Wednesday a | 1:49:40 | 1:49:45 | |
number of measures to be
taken against Russia, | 1:49:45 | 1:49:46 | |
but not one that had | 1:49:46 | 1:49:54 | |
been widely mooted -
taking the television | 1:49:56 | 1:50:02 | |
station Russia Today | 1:50:02 | 1:50:04 | |
off the air in the UK. | 1:50:04 | 1:50:06 | |
The broadcaster is widely
regarded as a mouthpiece | 1:50:06 | 1:50:09 | |
for the Kremlin which made
the choice of one of the panellists | 1:50:09 | 1:50:12 | |
on BBC One's Question Time
a surprise | 1:50:12 | 1:50:13 | |
to some people. | 1:50:13 | 1:50:16 | |
A broadcaster with the Russian
funded TV channel RTE | 1:50:16 | 1:50:18 | |
and presenter of a weekly current
affairs programme on that channel, | 1:50:18 | 1:50:21 | |
Afshin Ratanzi. | 1:50:21 | 1:50:22 | |
That guest booking was already
causing concern before | 1:50:22 | 1:50:26 | |
the programme went out on Thursday
with Matthew Hilbert, tweeting: | 1:50:26 | 1:50:34 | |
It is not the first
time journalists from | 1:50:43 | 1:50:51 | |
Russia Today have appeared
on BBC News and we asked | 1:50:52 | 1:50:54 | |
the BBC whether it was | 1:50:54 | 1:50:56 | |
appropriate for them to do so? | 1:50:56 | 1:50:57 | |
They told us: | 1:50:57 | 1:51:05 | |
The Russian theme continued that
evening as Newsnight | 1:51:10 | 1:51:15 | |
on BBC Two ran an item which irked
some viewers not so much for its | 1:51:15 | 1:51:18 | |
content but more for
the studio background. | 1:51:18 | 1:51:25 | |
Did Jeremy Corbyn misread
the mood of his party in the | 1:51:25 | 1:51:28 | |
Commons yesterday when he refused
to point the finger at Russia? | 1:51:28 | 1:51:31 | |
Last night, a group
of Labour backbenchers | 1:51:31 | 1:51:33 | |
said it unequivocally,
that they accept the Russian state's | 1:51:33 | 1:51:35 | |
culpability for the spy poisoning. | 1:51:35 | 1:51:40 | |
Some people felt the photograph
of Jeremy Corbyn in | 1:51:40 | 1:51:42 | |
a Russian-style hat, | 1:51:42 | 1:51:43 | |
surrounded by a red
picture of the Kremlin | 1:51:43 | 1:51:45 | |
portrayed the Labour leader
as a collaborator with Moscow. | 1:51:45 | 1:51:47 | |
Susan was one of them and recorded | 1:51:47 | 1:51:49 | |
this video for us. | 1:51:49 | 1:51:50 | |
I felt compelled to
contact you regarding the | 1:51:50 | 1:51:52 | |
Newsnight programme last
night and the portrayal | 1:51:52 | 1:51:54 | |
of Jeremy Corbyn
in | 1:51:54 | 1:51:58 | |
some kind of a Russian hat next
to a portrayal of the Kremlin. | 1:51:58 | 1:52:02 | |
I feel that this is
a very biased depiction | 1:52:02 | 1:52:06 | |
of the man and those more gullible
in society will absolutely associate | 1:52:06 | 1:52:11 | |
Jeremy Corbyn with
Russia and Russians. | 1:52:11 | 1:52:16 | |
I am only interested in justice
and honesty and I don't see | 1:52:16 | 1:52:19 | |
any of that here. | 1:52:19 | 1:52:20 | |
Very disappointed. | 1:52:20 | 1:52:28 | |
Last weekend, the Sunday Mirror said
it had uncovered Britain's worst | 1:52:29 | 1:52:34 | |
ever child grooming scandal
with claims that up to 1,000 girls | 1:52:34 | 1:52:37 | |
had been abused since the 1980s. | 1:52:37 | 1:52:40 | |
Over the next two days,
other newspapers | 1:52:40 | 1:52:41 | |
followed that up extensively,
but there were only limited | 1:52:41 | 1:52:43 | |
mentions on BBC News. | 1:52:43 | 1:52:49 | |
Scores of people wondered why,
with one of them, David, leaving | 1:52:49 | 1:52:52 | |
as this phone message
on Tuesday morning. | 1:52:52 | 1:52:53 | |
Hi, I woke up this morning
to the horrific stories about the | 1:52:53 | 1:52:56 | |
child abuse in Telford,
so I thought I would | 1:52:56 | 1:52:59 | |
go on to the BBC app
which I | 1:52:59 | 1:53:01 | |
use regularly and lo and behold
there was nothing about it. | 1:53:01 | 1:53:05 | |
On your top five
stories on the website | 1:53:05 | 1:53:09 | |
there's one about pork pies and one
about the dangers of Chinese | 1:53:09 | 1:53:12 | |
takeaways. | 1:53:12 | 1:53:13 | |
Are you going to cover this scandal? | 1:53:13 | 1:53:15 | |
The BBC was accused in the press
of ignoring the story and | 1:53:15 | 1:53:19 | |
Adam agreed, writing:
| 1:53:19 | 1:53:27 | |
On Tuesday, the Victoria
Derbyshire show | 1:53:41 | 1:53:44 | |
interviewed a victim of child
exploitation in | 1:53:44 | 1:53:49 | |
Telford, but it was not until
Wednesday the BBC bulletins ran a | 1:53:49 | 1:53:51 | |
report on the subject. | 1:53:51 | 1:53:55 | |
Night-time in Telford. | 1:53:55 | 1:53:59 | |
Recent reports say up to 1,000 girls
could have been sexually | 1:53:59 | 1:54:02 | |
abused in the town over
the last four decades. | 1:54:02 | 1:54:10 | |
The police here say at the moment
they are dealing with | 1:54:11 | 1:54:13 | |
less than 50 cases. | 1:54:13 | 1:54:14 | |
For many the BBC's reaction
was too little, too | 1:54:14 | 1:54:17 | |
late. | 1:54:17 | 1:54:18 | |
Trevor Bell thought:
| 1:54:18 | 1:54:26 | |
Let's put that
to James Stevenson, the BBC's | 1:54:30 | 1:54:32 | |
News editor, who joins me now. | 1:54:32 | 1:54:37 | |
Can we start with
the story broke in the | 1:54:37 | 1:54:39 | |
Sunday Mirror, when did the BBC
national News think it worth | 1:54:39 | 1:54:42 | |
reporting? | 1:54:42 | 1:54:43 | |
So immediately we could see
it was a good and strong piece | 1:54:43 | 1:54:46 | |
of journalism by the Sunday Mirror
and it was widely covered in our | 1:54:46 | 1:54:50 | |
paper review and prominently
on Sunday and we saw it was a story | 1:54:50 | 1:54:54 | |
that we needed to follow up
and we began to do that. | 1:54:54 | 1:54:58 | |
So as early as Monday
morning, the Victoria | 1:54:58 | 1:55:00 | |
Derbyshire programme
was leading its output | 1:55:00 | 1:55:02 | |
on the story and later
that | 1:55:02 | 1:55:10 | |
day the World at One interviewed
the leader of Telford Council to | 1:55:11 | 1:55:14 | |
challenge him about
what was going on. | 1:55:14 | 1:55:15 | |
We quickly saw it was a story that
needed to be covered and it | 1:55:15 | 1:55:19 | |
needed our original reporting effort
to follow up and that's what we | 1:55:19 | 1:55:22 | |
did. | 1:55:22 | 1:55:24 | |
We heard from a viewer who said
he used the news app and was | 1:55:24 | 1:55:28 | |
wondering when did the story
appeared on the front page on the | 1:55:28 | 1:55:31 | |
website? | 1:55:31 | 1:55:32 | |
So there was a story on the website
on Monday and that was on | 1:55:32 | 1:55:35 | |
the England index. | 1:55:35 | 1:55:36 | |
There are various developments
in the story as the | 1:55:36 | 1:55:38 | |
week has gone on, and I am sure you
have seen and the viewers have seen | 1:55:38 | 1:55:42 | |
how the story has developed,
so the initial suggestion | 1:55:42 | 1:55:44 | |
was possibly 1,000 victims
and that was based not on | 1:55:44 | 1:55:47 | |
hard information but on an
extrapolation based on work with an | 1:55:47 | 1:55:50 | |
academic. | 1:55:50 | 1:55:58 | |
So we pursued it and we weighted
the story and we looked at it | 1:55:59 | 1:56:04 | |
in depth and it is worth saying,
to address your point directly, | 1:56:04 | 1:56:07 | |
that we are in the middle of this
huge spy | 1:56:07 | 1:56:09 | |
drama and scandal and poisoning
scandal in Salisbury and that has | 1:56:09 | 1:56:12 | |
consumed a huge amount of our
airtime, as has the death of Ken | 1:56:12 | 1:56:15 | |
Dodd and later in the week Stephen
Hawking, so even in a busy news | 1:56:15 | 1:56:20 | |
period this has been an
exceptionally busy news week and we | 1:56:20 | 1:56:22 | |
have tried to cover the Telford
story in the mix amongst all the | 1:56:22 | 1:56:26 | |
other things that we
have been doing. | 1:56:26 | 1:56:29 | |
I suppose audiences would say
in a busy news week this is a really | 1:56:29 | 1:56:32 | |
important news story. | 1:56:32 | 1:56:33 | |
That is certainly true
and I would like to | 1:56:33 | 1:56:36 | |
challenge an idea that I think
viewers might be left with by the | 1:56:36 | 1:56:43 | |
sequence they have just seen. | 1:56:43 | 1:56:44 | |
This is a scandal that
has been unfolding in | 1:56:44 | 1:56:46 | |
Telford over many years and we have
been covering it in great depth and | 1:56:46 | 1:56:50 | |
with great prominence
during that time. | 1:56:50 | 1:56:54 | |
So the operation Chalice brought
to light the scale of abuse | 1:56:54 | 1:56:57 | |
in Telford. | 1:56:57 | 1:56:58 | |
Then there was a criminal
prosecution which saw seven | 1:56:58 | 1:57:00 | |
men being sent to prison
a few years ago. | 1:57:00 | 1:57:04 | |
So we have consistently been
reporting this story as it has gone | 1:57:04 | 1:57:07 | |
along and we have done
so again this week. | 1:57:07 | 1:57:14 | |
The TV bulletins are where millions
of people are expected to | 1:57:14 | 1:57:18 | |
be told what the big important
stories are and it was not until | 1:57:18 | 1:57:21 | |
Wednesday, three days later,
that there was an actual | 1:57:21 | 1:57:23 | |
report about Telford
on the national bulletins. | 1:57:23 | 1:57:25 | |
Why? | 1:57:25 | 1:57:26 | |
It was covered in brief on the news
at ten on Tuesday night. | 1:57:26 | 1:57:29 | |
As I have explained,
we have a very busy | 1:57:29 | 1:57:31 | |
news period and there are a limited
number of stories we can cover. | 1:57:31 | 1:57:34 | |
The reason it became
a network TV bulletin | 1:57:34 | 1:57:37 | |
story on Wednesday
was | 1:57:37 | 1:57:39 | |
because partly because
of our journalism. | 1:57:39 | 1:57:42 | |
We interviewed the police
in Telford, we interviewed a | 1:57:42 | 1:57:47 | |
social worker in Telford, it was
raised at Prime Minister's Question | 1:57:47 | 1:57:50 | |
Time and the Prime
Minister reacted to it. | 1:57:50 | 1:57:53 | |
Even in this busy period, that
obviously deserved the attention it | 1:57:53 | 1:57:56 | |
got on the main TV
bulletins that day. | 1:57:56 | 1:57:58 | |
You will know what BBC viewers
are saying and we have had hundreds | 1:57:58 | 1:58:02 | |
of complaints into the BBC. | 1:58:02 | 1:58:05 | |
It said it looks like
the BBC felt awkward | 1:58:05 | 1:58:09 | |
giving the story prominence because
it was about white victims and | 1:58:09 | 1:58:13 | |
Pakistani heritage abusers. | 1:58:13 | 1:58:16 | |
I know that is a view
that some people | 1:58:16 | 1:58:18 | |
hold, I really don't
think it is the case. | 1:58:18 | 1:58:24 | |
The BBC has just won a Royal
television Society award. | 1:58:24 | 1:58:31 | |
We have done a great deal of
coverage on this area of abuse and | 1:58:31 | 1:58:35 | |
this terrible story in Telford also
elsewhere in the country. | 1:58:35 | 1:58:38 | |
The BBC has just won
a Royal television | 1:58:38 | 1:58:42 | |
Society award for the excellent
documentary about abuse in the North | 1:58:42 | 1:58:45 | |
East of England based
around Newcastle. | 1:58:45 | 1:58:47 | |
That was second story on the TV news
three weeks ago, so we | 1:58:47 | 1:58:51 | |
have done a great deal of work. | 1:58:51 | 1:58:57 | |
On Rotherham where
a lot of this stuff, | 1:58:57 | 1:59:00 | |
this terrible situation came more
fully to light for example. | 1:59:00 | 1:59:02 | |
So we have certainly
committed to covering | 1:59:02 | 1:59:04 | |
what is a harrowing and terrible
story and we have done it | 1:59:04 | 1:59:07 | |
consistently over time. | 1:59:07 | 1:59:10 | |
You will know that
coverage of previous | 1:59:10 | 1:59:14 | |
grooming scandals with
this racial element, | 1:59:14 | 1:59:17 | |
viewers every time feel
the | 1:59:17 | 1:59:20 | |
BBC runs shy of reporting these
stories prominently. | 1:59:20 | 1:59:21 | |
Do you think the BBC needs
to rethink how it runs | 1:59:21 | 1:59:24 | |
and reports on these stories? | 1:59:24 | 1:59:32 | |
No, I think we are
doing the right thing | 1:59:32 | 1:59:36 | |
and I think we are very determined
to get to these terrible and dark | 1:59:36 | 1:59:39 | |
and difficult stories, not just this
one but across the whole range. | 1:59:39 | 1:59:42 | |
What I do think is
true to say is that | 1:59:42 | 1:59:44 | |
before the full nature
and scale of what was | 1:59:44 | 1:59:47 | |
going on in Rotherham
and | 1:59:47 | 1:59:48 | |
Rochdale and Oxford
and other places came out, | 1:59:48 | 1:59:51 | |
there was not as great
an | 1:59:51 | 1:59:55 | |
understanding of how profound
problem and how deep this ran and if | 1:59:55 | 2:00:00 | |
you go back a decade,
I think you can definitely say | 2:00:00 | 2:00:02 | |
that the story with the issue
did not get the | 2:00:02 | 2:00:05 | |
attention it probably deserved
at that point and that is something | 2:00:05 | 2:00:07 | |
everyone has had to reflect on. | 2:00:07 | 2:00:09 | |
James Stevenson, thank you. | 2:00:09 | 2:00:10 | |

The UK ambassadors summoned to a
meeting in | 2:00:38 | 2:00:44 | |
meeting in Moscow and other Russian
exiles are being contacted to | 2:00:48 | 2:00:50 | |
discuss their safety in Britain. | 2:00:50 | 2:00:56 | |
Good morning, it's Saturday
the 17th of March. | 2:01:02 | 2:01:04 | |
Also this morning: | 2:01:04 | 2:01:05 | |
Police launch a murder investigation
after two women are shot dead | 2:01:05 | 2:01:08 | |
at a house in East Sussex. | 2:01:08 | 2:01:15 | |
100 flights are cancelled
and drivers are told to expect | 2:01:15 | 2:01:17 | |
disruption as the "mini beast
from the east" sweeps in. | 2:01:17 | 2:01:22 | |
Good morning. It will be a shock to
the system for many others today as | 2:01:22 | 2:01:26 | |
the Siberian air is returning,
bringing issues with ice and snow. | 2:01:26 | 2:01:31 | |
There are numerous warnings out,
including amber warnings from the | 2:01:31 | 2:01:33 | |
Met office and I will tell you more
about those in around about a | 2:01:33 | 2:01:36 | |
quarter of an hour. It is a chilly
morning here at Twickenham and it | 2:01:36 | 2:01:44 | |
will heat up later on. The final
round of matches in the six Nations | 2:01:44 | 2:01:50 | |
championship. Ireland could win the
grand slam if they beat England. | 2:01:50 | 2:01:59 | |
The UK ambassador to Russia has been
summoned to a meeting at the Foreign | 2:01:59 | 2:02:02 | |
Minister in Moscow. It comes after
the Kremlin indicated it would | 2:02:02 | 2:02:05 | |
retaliate after the Prime Minister
expelled 23 Russian diplomats from | 2:02:05 | 2:02:09 | |
the UK. It also comes a fortnight
after the nerve agent attack on | 2:02:09 | 2:02:13 | |
former Russian spy Sergei Skripal
and his daughter. Let's talk to | 2:02:13 | 2:02:20 | |
Richard Galpin, who is in Moscow for
us. We understand that the | 2:02:20 | 2:02:22 | |
ambassador has arrived at this
meeting. | 2:02:22 | 2:02:33 | |
Yes, he's going into this meeting
with senior Russian officials in | 2:02:34 | 2:02:38 | |
Moscow. We know that surrogate lover
of Sergei Lavrov will be here. We | 2:02:38 | 2:02:54 | |
also don't know whether there might
be other measures. Of course, this | 2:02:54 | 2:02:57 | |
is an assumption. Vladimir Putin,
the Russian president, has the final | 2:02:57 | 2:03:02 | |
say on what exactly is going to
happen, and we have known him to | 2:03:02 | 2:03:06 | |
pull some surprises in the past.
Certainly the expectation, as I say, | 2:03:06 | 2:03:10 | |
is that there will be expulsions of
British diplomats and spies. Indeed, | 2:03:10 | 2:03:15 | |
all of this happening with the
backdrop of the elections. Yes. That | 2:03:15 | 2:03:21 | |
is right. Although the elections, I
don't think it is really feeding | 2:03:21 | 2:03:24 | |
into the elections, the whole issue
of Sergei Skripal. I think it is | 2:03:24 | 2:03:31 | |
maybe the decision to go ahead with
this, whatever they will come out | 2:03:31 | 2:03:35 | |
with today could help Vladimir Putin
in some respects. If it is a tough | 2:03:35 | 2:03:42 | |
response with strong retaliatory
measures, then that does feed into | 2:03:42 | 2:03:44 | |
the whole narrative that Mr Putin
likes in this sense of being the | 2:03:44 | 2:03:50 | |
strong man, the person who is
standing up Russia against a very | 2:03:50 | 2:03:54 | |
aggressive Western powers who are
trying to mash and eight and box in | 2:03:54 | 2:03:58 | |
Russia. Thanks very much. | 2:03:58 | 2:04:05 | |
Police investigating the murder
of a Russian man in London say | 2:04:06 | 2:04:08 | |
they have begun contacting
other Russian exiles in Britain | 2:04:08 | 2:04:11 | |
to discuss their safety. | 2:04:11 | 2:04:12 | |
Forensics teams have
continued working at the home | 2:04:12 | 2:04:14 | |
of 68-year Nikolai Glushkov,
who was found dead on Monday. | 2:04:14 | 2:04:17 | |
But police say at this stage | 2:04:17 | 2:04:24 | |
-- John McManus reports. | 2:04:24 | 2:04:26 | |
68-year-old Nikolai Glushkov,
found dead at his home on this | 2:04:26 | 2:04:28 | |
unassuming road in
Southwest London on Monday. | 2:04:28 | 2:04:30 | |
But Mr Glushkov's life
was anything but ordinary. | 2:04:30 | 2:04:32 | |
A post mortem has revealed
he was murdered, killed | 2:04:32 | 2:04:34 | |
by compression to the neck. | 2:04:34 | 2:04:42 | |
Unusually, counterterrorism police
are leading the investigation | 2:04:44 | 2:04:46 | |
because of Mr Glushkov's past. | 2:04:46 | 2:04:47 | |
In the 90s he was the director
of Russian airline Aeroflot, | 2:04:47 | 2:04:50 | |
but sought political asylum
in the UK and was still being | 2:04:50 | 2:04:52 | |
sued by Russia. | 2:04:52 | 2:05:00 | |
-- pursued. | 2:05:02 | 2:05:04 | |
He was friends with Russian
businessmen Boris Berezovsky | 2:05:04 | 2:05:05 | |
who was found dead in 2013. | 2:05:05 | 2:05:07 | |
An open verdict was recorded
but Mr Glushkov believed | 2:05:07 | 2:05:09 | |
he had been murdered. | 2:05:09 | 2:05:17 | |
The Russians who died in the UK
water may be suspicious | 2:05:17 | 2:05:22 | |
circumstances are being re-examined. | 2:05:22 | 2:05:24 | |
Some observers believe
it is time to join the dots. | 2:05:24 | 2:05:27 | |
Mr Glushkov's death fits
into a wider pattern of the last 12 | 2:05:27 | 2:05:30 | |
years of Russian opponents
dropping dead across Europe. | 2:05:30 | 2:05:32 | |
The consequences for the Kremlin
of this were limited to far too | 2:05:32 | 2:05:34 | |
long, the UK response
as recently been much stronger, | 2:05:34 | 2:05:42 | |
but there's still an awful lot
we could do. | 2:05:45 | 2:05:49 | |
The former PR executive Lord Bell
a friend of Mr Glushkov has told | 2:05:49 | 2:05:52 | |
the BBC he suspects he was killed
after being deemed a traitor | 2:05:52 | 2:05:55 | |
by the Russian state. | 2:05:55 | 2:05:56 | |
Police say that at present
there is no link between the murder | 2:05:56 | 2:05:59 | |
in London and the poisoning
of Sergei Skripal and his | 2:05:59 | 2:06:01 | |
daughter in Salisbury. | 2:06:01 | 2:06:02 | |
But some Russian exiles are being
contacted about their safety. | 2:06:02 | 2:06:09 | |
Officers responded immediately
when they got a report of a shooting | 2:06:09 | 2:06:11 | |
at a house at around 8pm last night. | 2:06:11 | 2:06:17 | |
A 35-year-old man has been arrested.
The victims were known to be | 2:06:17 | 2:06:22 | |
suspect. Police say they are not
looking for anybody else in | 2:06:22 | 2:06:26 | |
connection with the shooting. | 2:06:26 | 2:06:31 | |
The Met office has issued an amber
warning ahead of another cold snap. | 2:06:31 | 2:06:36 | |
More than 100 flights have been
cancelled ahead of the predicted bad | 2:06:36 | 2:06:42 | |
weather, and motorists are asked to
avoid trans-Pennine roads. | 2:06:42 | 2:06:47 | |
Almost 1,000 elderly people
a day could be admitted | 2:06:47 | 2:06:50 | |
to hospital because of falls,
by the end of the decade, | 2:06:50 | 2:06:52 | |
according to figures seen
by the Local Government Association. | 2:06:52 | 2:06:57 | |
It has prompted calls for more
funding for adult social care. | 2:06:57 | 2:07:02 | |
After a fall if someone does not
recover fully they are housebound, | 2:07:02 | 2:07:04 | |
they may need to be provided
with home help, meals on wheels, | 2:07:04 | 2:07:07 | |
and it can also have
wider impacts on health, | 2:07:07 | 2:07:09 | |
and it is often the case that
when a person has a serious fall | 2:07:09 | 2:07:13 | |
it is one of the things that
precipitate the slippery slope | 2:07:13 | 2:07:15 | |
of them becoming housebound. | 2:07:15 | 2:07:20 | |
The former deputy director of the
FBI has been dramatically fired just | 2:07:21 | 2:07:24 | |
hours before he was due to formally
retire. Andrew McCabe said his | 2:07:24 | 2:07:29 | |
sacking had been politically
motivated and claimed it was part of | 2:07:29 | 2:07:31 | |
a wider effort to taint the FBI.
President Trump tweeted it had been | 2:07:31 | 2:07:38 | |
a great day for democracy. | 2:07:38 | 2:07:43 | |
10,000 -- tens of thousands of
people have been at sea in a | 2:07:43 | 2:07:46 | |
Northern Syrian town as they fight a
terrorist group. The UN estimates | 2:07:46 | 2:07:51 | |
that almost 50,000 people have been
displaced in the past few days. | 2:07:51 | 2:07:58 | |
Reports from the area are that
dozens of people were killed in air | 2:07:58 | 2:08:00 | |
strikes on Friday. A faulty ski lift
through people from the seats city | 2:08:00 | 2:08:04 | |
Mountain resort in Georgia. As it
malfunctioned, people using it were | 2:08:04 | 2:08:08 | |
forced to jump out of their seats to
safety in the snow below and those | 2:08:08 | 2:08:11 | |
standing nearby were forced to dive
out of the way as the last raced | 2:08:11 | 2:08:15 | |
towards them. No reason has been
given for the fold. | 2:08:15 | 2:08:20 | |
Three children are being linked for
infections that may be linked to the | 2:08:20 | 2:08:24 | |
water supply any hospital in Greater
Glasgow. NHS Glasgow and greater | 2:08:24 | 2:08:29 | |
clout are investigating after
discovering that the -- it. | 2:08:29 | 2:08:41 | |
Perhaps you have a sweet tooth and
deep pockets. If so, this may be for | 2:08:41 | 2:08:45 | |
you. The world's most expensive
chocolate has gone on display in | 2:08:45 | 2:08:48 | |
Portugal. Oh. Sorry. So, it is
filled with diamond... This diamond | 2:08:48 | 2:08:58 | |
shaped truth is filled with saffron
threads, white truffle, Madagascan | 2:08:58 | 2:09:05 | |
vanilla, and quartered in 23 carat
edible gold. Just 1000 are being | 2:09:05 | 2:09:09 | |
made. If you want one, if you fancy
trying it, the cost will be £6,800. | 2:09:09 | 2:09:15 | |
You know, that... It looks very on
the rolling. -- underwhelming. I do | 2:09:15 | 2:09:24 | |
not have the money, but I do not
think I would. | 2:09:24 | 2:09:27 | |
I do not want one. I am going to say
that, I do not want one. | 2:09:27 | 2:09:31 | |
I will make a note.
We will look ahead to some of the | 2:09:31 | 2:09:36 | |
weather problems. Quite a few
problems across the UK today. Ice | 2:09:36 | 2:09:41 | |
and snow predicted. Helen has the
details in a few minutes. | 2:09:41 | 2:09:45 | |
Almost 1,000 elderly people
a day could be admitted | 2:09:45 | 2:09:48 | |
to hospital because of falls,
by the end of the decade, | 2:09:48 | 2:09:50 | |
according to figures seen
by the Local Government Association. | 2:09:50 | 2:09:52 | |
The LGA says many falls can be
avoided | 2:09:52 | 2:09:54 | |
and they want more money
on measures to prevent them, | 2:09:54 | 2:09:57 | |
as Marta Newman reports. | 2:09:57 | 2:09:59 | |
Falling over can have a huge impact
on older people, as well as adult | 2:09:59 | 2:10:03 | |
social care and health services. It
is a common but often overlooked | 2:10:03 | 2:10:07 | |
cause of injury. It can lead to
considerable distress, pain, a loss | 2:10:07 | 2:10:13 | |
of independence and even death. | 2:10:13 | 2:10:16 | |
considerable distress, pain, a loss
of independence and even death. NHS | 2:10:16 | 2:10:16 | |
figures show around 300,000 people
aged 65 and over were admitted to | 2:10:16 | 2:10:23 | |
hospital last year due to falling.
The number of fall related hospital | 2:10:23 | 2:10:29 | |
admissions is rising year-on-year,
and it is expected that | 2:10:29 | 2:10:32 | |
admissions is rising year-on-year,
and it is expected that by 2021, | 2:10:32 | 2:10:33 | |
there will be nearly 1000 new cases
every day. Around one in five foals | 2:10:33 | 2:10:39 | |
are caused by slipping, tripping or
stumbling. The Local Government | 2:10:39 | 2:10:45 | |
Association says it costs the NHS
more than £2 billion per year. The | 2:10:45 | 2:10:50 | |
LGA, which represents 370 councils
in England and Wales, the putting | 2:10:50 | 2:10:54 | |
more of that money into council
services to prevent falls would | 2:10:54 | 2:10:59 | |
improve the quality of life of an
ever increasing ageing population. | 2:10:59 | 2:11:04 | |
We think the track record of the
Council programmes that are already | 2:11:04 | 2:11:07 | |
in place is showing that we can help
many older people stay in their | 2:11:07 | 2:11:12 | |
houses for longer, enjoy a healthier
life and this is about saving the | 2:11:12 | 2:11:15 | |
taxpayer at some money and enhancing
their experience. The Department of | 2:11:15 | 2:11:20 | |
Health and social care is say they
have dedicated £9.4 billion in | 2:11:20 | 2:11:24 | |
social care funding over the next
three years to support local | 2:11:24 | 2:11:30 | |
authorities so that comprehensive
fall prevention plans can be | 2:11:30 | 2:11:33 | |
developed. | 2:11:33 | 2:11:37 | |
Michelle Donnelly-Stevenson
is a falls prevention | 2:11:39 | 2:11:40 | |
adviser and James Beaumont
is a physiotherapist. | 2:11:40 | 2:11:43 | |
Good morning to you both. James,
give of an idea of some of the | 2:11:43 | 2:11:49 | |
injuries you are seeing. We are
seeing that there are more likely to | 2:11:49 | 2:11:53 | |
be more older people admitted to
hospital for treatment. Certainly | 2:11:53 | 2:11:59 | |
the prevalence of folders
increasing. The sort of things we | 2:11:59 | 2:12:03 | |
see our hip fractures being one of
the worst ones. Mortality, for one | 2:12:03 | 2:12:09 | |
year after a hip fracture is still
quite high. Head injuries, wrist | 2:12:09 | 2:12:13 | |
fractures. Even going as low down
as, you know, knocking people's | 2:12:13 | 2:12:18 | |
confidence. They become more
housebound. It is a real problem. | 2:12:18 | 2:12:23 | |
Michelle, you try to do with as a
practical level by advising people | 2:12:23 | 2:12:27 | |
about this. The statistics tell us
more people will have these kind of | 2:12:27 | 2:12:29 | |
problems. In practice, what can be
to help? What we have currently been | 2:12:29 | 2:12:35 | |
running across Lancashire is a
project funded by Lancashire County | 2:12:35 | 2:12:40 | |
Council called Steady On. We look at
practical tips and advice given to | 2:12:40 | 2:12:45 | |
older adults to try to reduce the
risk of falling. Common day-to-day | 2:12:45 | 2:12:48 | |
practical things that we can do.
Like what? The word steady is an | 2:12:48 | 2:12:53 | |
acronym. | 2:12:53 | 2:13:00 | |
acronym. S is slippers, footwear,
tablet and medication, the | 2:13:00 | 2:13:03 | |
environment, activity and exercise,
do you fall and do you have a plan? | 2:13:03 | 2:13:09 | |
And I care and keeping on top of
that. All of that advice, why is | 2:13:09 | 2:13:16 | |
that are now needed as opposed to
ten or 15 years ago? As you get | 2:13:16 | 2:13:19 | |
older, I mean, we see that you tend
to follow and you have described the | 2:13:19 | 2:13:25 | |
damage because of bone density, why
do we need that advice now? I think | 2:13:25 | 2:13:32 | |
it has always been needed. It is
long-standing. It is becoming more | 2:13:32 | 2:13:37 | |
awareness is a lot better and
looking at protecting, kind of, our | 2:13:37 | 2:13:41 | |
older adults and future generations.
Obviously, as James has said, we are | 2:13:41 | 2:13:46 | |
leading a little bit longer and
there are more and it is trying to | 2:13:46 | 2:13:53 | |
put yourself in the best position
possible. Thinking about it early. | 2:13:53 | 2:13:55 | |
Our project looks at 55 plus.
Education and the reiteration of the | 2:13:55 | 2:13:59 | |
importance of the practical things
we can do to keep as an dependent on | 2:13:59 | 2:14:03 | |
the cell care we can provide for
ourselves. James, people all or a | 2:14:03 | 2:14:07 | |
young are encouraged to be active,
so the balance between somebody who | 2:14:07 | 2:14:12 | |
is of a certain age, encouraging
them to call for walks and quad | 2:14:12 | 2:14:16 | |
mobile, at the same time be aware of
the potential risk. It is a delicate | 2:14:16 | 2:14:24 | |
balance. It certainly is. The
research would suggest that anybody | 2:14:24 | 2:14:27 | |
over the age of 65 should try to
maintain an active lifestyle, and it | 2:14:27 | 2:14:32 | |
does say that anybody doing 30
minutes of strength and balance | 2:14:32 | 2:14:38 | |
exercises three times per week and
going for a walk of about 30 minutes | 2:14:38 | 2:14:42 | |
twice a week is going to
significantly reduce their risk of | 2:14:42 | 2:14:45 | |
having a fall. Obviously, you're not
going to dig up any sort of unsafe | 2:14:45 | 2:14:51 | |
practices, so we would definitely
recommend that you get advice and | 2:14:51 | 2:14:54 | |
the supervision of services like
your local physio department. They | 2:14:54 | 2:15:00 | |
advise you on what you should be
doing. And tried to get a sense of, | 2:15:00 | 2:15:06 | |
Michelle, maybe you can help, is
those people who are doing things | 2:15:06 | 2:15:11 | |
they shouldn't? Overdoing it?
Somebody in their late 80s trying to | 2:15:11 | 2:15:14 | |
go for a walk in the snow? Or is
this people just... Accidents just | 2:15:14 | 2:15:19 | |
happen in the home, people doing
things they need to do to get to the | 2:15:19 | 2:15:24 | |
cooker, or...? I perfectly
understand. What we would both say, | 2:15:24 | 2:15:30 | |
and anybody in our position, is that
we cannot prevent every fall. It | 2:15:30 | 2:15:37 | |
could happen to anybody. We want to
reduce the risk as much as possible. | 2:15:37 | 2:15:42 | |
We are not think that people are
taking too many risks but it is just | 2:15:42 | 2:15:46 | |
remembering things that we can make
a difference in. The practical | 2:15:46 | 2:15:52 | |
day-to-day, modifiable factors that
we could look at to reduce risk, | 2:15:52 | 2:15:54 | |
despite her age, in all honesty, but
we are looking at older adults | 2:15:54 | 2:15:58 | |
obviously.
Thank you, both, for joining us. | 2:15:58 | 2:16:07 | |
Thank you, both, for joining us. We
were talking about being careful. | 2:16:07 | 2:16:09 | |
People may need to be careful with
the ice? | 2:16:09 | 2:16:15 | |
People may need to be careful with
the ice? Absolutely right. Not just | 2:16:15 | 2:16:19 | |
to do this snowy weekend, but
warning that already for the ice | 2:16:19 | 2:16:22 | |
risk on Monday. It is | 2:16:22 | 2:16:24 | |
warning that already for the ice
risk on Monday. It is the snow and | 2:16:24 | 2:16:25 | |
ice combined that will cause the
problems. We are seeing some | 2:16:25 | 2:16:28 | |
flurries of snow already. Amber
warnings led from the Met office. | 2:16:28 | 2:16:31 | |
This is being sent in from
Cambridge. We will try to show you | 2:16:31 | 2:16:35 | |
some more when the next hour or so.
It is cold out bitterly cold. The | 2:16:35 | 2:16:40 | |
easterly winds that we had a couple
of weeks ago have | 2:16:40 | 2:16:53 | |
returned. This time, they will not
last as long but very strong, gusty | 2:16:54 | 2:16:56 | |
winds. For the west coast of England
and Wales, a real buffeting going on | 2:16:56 | 2:16:59 | |
at the moment. The snow showers are
starting to pack into eastern areas. | 2:16:59 | 2:17:02 | |
This is the dividing line for Van --
from that milder Atlantic to be much | 2:17:02 | 2:17:05 | |
eastern area. This will turn
progressively to sleet and snow | 2:17:05 | 2:17:07 | |
throughout the day. It is falling in
the children's at the moment. This | 2:17:07 | 2:17:09 | |
will bring the heaviest snow as we
go through the day. It is not going | 2:17:09 | 2:17:16 | |
to feel warm! 14 degrees in the
south east yesterday. Three possibly | 2:17:16 | 2:17:21 | |
today, if we are lucky. The West
will be best for sunshine, the North | 2:17:21 | 2:17:25 | |
West of Scotland. But if you add on
the wind, it will feel better. A | 2:17:25 | 2:17:28 | |
real shock to the system. Take note,
particularly if you're heading out | 2:17:28 | 2:17:34 | |
for these sporting events. Let's
take a closer look at the amber | 2:17:34 | 2:17:37 | |
warnings. Part of northern England,
Lincolnshire, across to the borders | 2:17:37 | 2:17:41 | |
of Wales we think those showers will
penetrate, one after the other. It | 2:17:41 | 2:17:44 | |
will not be the only area with the
snow, with those across the South | 2:17:44 | 2:17:49 | |
East and Essex, we will see the
largest amount of snow, and then | 2:17:49 | 2:17:53 | |
tonight a potential hazard of a more
widespread area coming in across | 2:17:53 | 2:17:57 | |
southern England and South Wales. It
could be wintry evening and night | 2:17:57 | 2:18:02 | |
team picture. Same sort of areas
getting them thick and fast and | 2:18:02 | 2:18:07 | |
across southern areas and then they
started to clump together, if that | 2:18:07 | 2:18:10 | |
is the right word. In more organised
area of snow, which the uncertainty | 2:18:10 | 2:18:16 | |
lies in how far north and east it
affects. Just a few centimetres will | 2:18:16 | 2:18:20 | |
cause significant problems, because
it will settle. Temperatures widely | 2:18:20 | 2:18:23 | |
below freezing. A penetrating frost
as well because of the strength of | 2:18:23 | 2:18:28 | |
the wind. Bitterly cold if you are
exposed overnight. Tomorrow, still | 2:18:28 | 2:18:32 | |
got that bitterly cold, strong
easterly wind blowing that snow, but | 2:18:32 | 2:18:36 | |
only slowly away, so it is good --
it could be very wintry picture | 2:18:36 | 2:18:41 | |
first thing across southern and
western areas of the country. | 2:18:41 | 2:18:46 | |
Elsewhere, still a scattering of
showers but easing off in intensity | 2:18:46 | 2:18:48 | |
and frequency later in the day as
high pressure built into the North. | 2:18:48 | 2:18:51 | |
But still cold. It might not be as
better on today but very little in | 2:18:51 | 2:18:55 | |
it. Minus six at better East wind,
which will cut off. You have heard | 2:18:55 | 2:19:00 | |
us talking about is that this
morning. It is a short lived when. | 2:19:00 | 2:19:03 | |
We pick up a northerly, not much
warmer but it cuts off that really | 2:19:03 | 2:19:08 | |
dry, cold air. That biting cold air.
It does not believe you to defrost, | 2:19:08 | 2:19:13 | |
and therefore the ice, problems | 2:19:13 | 2:19:16 | |
It does not believe you to defrost,
and therefore the ice, problems, | 2:19:16 | 2:19:17 | |
Charlie, because it will still be
cold overnight. Where that's nobody | 2:19:17 | 2:19:20 | |
little bit in the March sunshine

Getting the news and from Russia, we
understand that the UK ambassador to | 2:19:33 | 2:19:39 | |
Russia was summoned for a meeting
just a few hours ago. The Russian | 2:19:39 | 2:19:42 | |
Foreign Ministry says it is causing
the British Council in Russia. News | 2:19:42 | 2:19:47 | |
coming through as well. We
understand that there will be an | 2:19:47 | 2:19:50 | |
expulsion as well. That is by
Russia, also. 23 people being | 2:19:50 | 2:19:57 | |
expelled. The Russian Foreign
Ministry says it reserves the right | 2:19:57 | 2:20:00 | |
to take other measures against
Britain in event of further hostile | 2:20:00 | 2:20:05 | |
steps from London. That be imported
from the Russian Foreign Ministry. | 2:20:05 | 2:20:09 | |
That is coming out of a meeting
taking place just in the last few | 2:20:09 | 2:20:13 | |
minutes with the British ambassador
being called in in Moscow, and we | 2:20:13 | 2:20:18 | |
will bring you more details from
that. We will go to our | 2:20:18 | 2:20:21 | |
correspondent in Moscow shortly. It
is 8:20am. Time for you look at the | 2:20:21 | 2:20:26 | |
newspapers. | 2:20:26 | 2:20:30 | |
Historian and braodcaster
Tessa Dunlop is here to tell us | 2:20:30 | 2:20:32 | |
what's caught her eye. | 2:20:32 | 2:20:35 | |
Good morning. We will take a look at
what you were looking at in that | 2:20:35 | 2:20:38 | |
moment. We will go through the front
page this morning. We will start | 2:20:38 | 2:20:42 | |
with the Daily Telegraph. It is
Saturday. It is taking illegal, of | 2:20:42 | 2:20:47 | |
course, at the lead story, the
murder probe after a Putin critic | 2:20:47 | 2:20:51 | |
was strangled. Scotland Yard has
launched an investigation after the | 2:20:51 | 2:20:58 | |
announcement that the London
businessman found dead had been | 2:20:58 | 2:21:00 | |
strangled. At the moment, police not
linking that to the death just | 2:21:00 | 2:21:03 | |
around two weeks ago of a former
Russian agent, a nerve agent having | 2:21:03 | 2:21:08 | |
been used in that.
On the front page of the Daily Mail, | 2:21:08 | 2:21:12 | |
betrayal beyond belief. This is the | 2:21:12 | 2:21:15 | |
On the front page of the Daily Mail,
betrayal beyond belief. This is the | 2:21:15 | 2:21:15 | |
green bomber. 18 years ago, he
entered Britain and questions being | 2:21:15 | 2:21:21 | |
asked about why. His foster parents
were not told, why the authorities | 2:21:21 | 2:21:28 | |
did nothing to try to stop him.
The Time sticking a look at the | 2:21:28 | 2:21:32 | |
story of Oxfam being hit by a second
sex scandal overheating. Looking at | 2:21:32 | 2:21:38 | |
the conduct of its staff in the
earthquake torn country. The charity | 2:21:38 | 2:21:44 | |
put female aid workers and
disasters, disaster survivors at | 2:21:44 | 2:21:49 | |
risk by keeping a senior employee in
the country for over a year after | 2:21:49 | 2:21:53 | |
realising he was a sexual predator.

We have been bringing you up-to-date
with what has been happening in | 2:22:05 | 2:22:09 | |
terms of Russia. We understand there
are going to be 23 expulsions by the | 2:22:09 | 2:22:12 | |
Russian Foreign Ministry and it says
it reserves the right to respond to | 2:22:12 | 2:22:15 | |
hostile actions by the UK. On the
front page of the Financial Times, | 2:22:15 | 2:22:24 | |
examining how our politicians are
dealing with this... Is it vertical | 2:22:24 | 2:22:28 | |
at a crisis, at least in diplomatic
terms? We are certainly in the eye | 2:22:28 | 2:22:34 | |
of the storm at the moment. The
world watching Britain. Our | 2:22:34 | 2:22:39 | |
controversial Foreign Secretary,
Boris Johnson, has caught the eye of | 2:22:39 | 2:22:42 | |
the FT. He inflames row with Moscow
by claiming Vladimir Putin ordered | 2:22:42 | 2:22:48 | |
the poisoning. This is a step
further than Theresa May and Downing | 2:22:48 | 2:22:52 | |
Street had not commented on Boris
Johnson saying it was overwhelmingly | 2:22:52 | 2:22:56 | |
likely this was authorised by
Vladimir Putin. I mean... Talk | 2:22:56 | 2:23:01 | |
about... Going outside the lines,
almost, your former Foreign | 2:23:01 | 2:23:05 | |
Secretary. You would expect the
Prime Minister to lead in this | 2:23:05 | 2:23:09 | |
instance but the inference here,
certainly from the FT, is loose | 2:23:09 | 2:23:11 | |
lipped. We need to hold tight and
remain credible. We have this | 2:23:11 | 2:23:19 | |
fragile coalition of big leaders
standing with us. It has echoes of | 2:23:19 | 2:23:24 | |
Gavin Williamson, the Defence
Secretary, talking of Russia's | 2:23:24 | 2:23:27 | |
shutting up. It seems like Theresa
May is surrounded almost by puppets | 2:23:27 | 2:23:32 | |
and pretenders, which is a shame,
because our Prime Minister, I think, | 2:23:32 | 2:23:37 | |
has handled this crisis very well,
and certainly that is the feeling in | 2:23:37 | 2:23:40 | |
the Daily Telegraph. They have at
last been able to refer to her as a | 2:23:40 | 2:23:46 | |
strong and, well, cradle... The joke
being she is holding a newborn baby | 2:23:46 | 2:23:52 | |
and her personal ratings apparently
have gone up. 16% of the British | 2:23:52 | 2:23:57 | |
public approval of the way she has
handled it. That is in comparison | 2:23:57 | 2:24:00 | |
with Jeremy Corbyn, who is sitting
on 18% approval, because he has done | 2:24:00 | 2:24:04 | |
the exact opposite of Boris Johnson.
Boris Johnson thing there is | 2:24:04 | 2:24:09 | |
definitely a link with Vladimir
Putin and Jeremy Corbyn refusing to | 2:24:09 | 2:24:12 | |
explicitly even condemn rush hour,
or say that it is explicitly | 2:24:12 | 2:24:17 | |
Russia's fault. A very interesting
and fractious, actually, what is | 2:24:17 | 2:24:22 | |
happening on the British political
scene, let alone the response we are | 2:24:22 | 2:24:27 | |
expecting from our allies.
It is worth reminding people that we | 2:24:27 | 2:24:30 | |
are getting news from Moscow that 23
diplomats will be expelled. It had | 2:24:30 | 2:24:37 | |
been predicted this would be a
tit-for-tat situation. We waited | 2:24:37 | 2:24:41 | |
quite a few days for this reaction.
That is exactly what it is. It is | 2:24:41 | 2:24:46 | |
fascinating that have chosen 23 on
the nose. Of course, the backdrop to | 2:24:46 | 2:24:50 | |
this... It is in reaction to the UK
included the Russian diplomats will | 2:24:50 | 2:24:56 | |
be expelled. In a ring. The backdrop
is this increased heating up of what | 2:24:56 | 2:25:01 | |
some people are referring to as the
Cold War because this second murder | 2:25:01 | 2:25:04 | |
of an exile in London being
identified in the police. No | 2:25:04 | 2:25:07 | |
connection at the moment to Russia
but, nonetheless, he was a critic of | 2:25:07 | 2:25:13 | |
pigeon's resume. Sticking with
chilly winds from the east. The Were | 2:25:13 | 2:25:17 | |
really going for it with the second
beast, and referring to Labour's | 2:25:17 | 2:25:24 | |
been at risk. That is the warning,
apparently. We should all know off | 2:25:24 | 2:25:27 | |
by heart are yellow, amber and
redcoats. They are claiming they | 2:25:27 | 2:25:31 | |
will be inches of snow this weekend.
We are literally a couple of weeks | 2:25:31 | 2:25:34 | |
away from Easter. I am meant to be
climbing up a Scottish mountain with | 2:25:34 | 2:25:40 | |
eight London children and I think...
Win is this? The first week of | 2:25:40 | 2:25:45 | |
April. In fact, I think the tops are
going to be crampons and the specs. | 2:25:45 | 2:25:52 | |
Helen has told us, and we have been
talking to her all morning, lots of | 2:25:52 | 2:25:56 | |
people take the advice, there are
warnings from highways England about | 2:25:56 | 2:26:00 | |
not driving in trans-Pennine routes,
Helen says they have had snow in | 2:26:00 | 2:26:05 | |
June. It is not majorly unusual. I
know, but I am hoping that there is | 2:26:05 | 2:26:11 | |
a deep defrosting and lots of really
warm weather. If you're claiming the | 2:26:11 | 2:26:16 | |
peaks in Scotland, it is going to be
cold and there will be snow. Just be | 2:26:16 | 2:26:20 | |
ready. Taking nine-year-olds up, I
think they might need more than | 2:26:20 | 2:26:24 | |
trainers! They will be OK.
Lots of thick socks. | 2:26:24 | 2:26:29 | |
You pick out a story in relation to
sugary drinks. How long have we been | 2:26:29 | 2:26:34 | |
talking about what to do about the
drinks that particularly young | 2:26:34 | 2:26:38 | |
people drink a lot of? It was
across-the-board, though. It is | 2:26:38 | 2:26:43 | |
working, Charlie. Is it? We have cut
back on sugary drinks job in half by | 2:26:43 | 2:26:49 | |
one third. There is a rather
wonderful quote here that says the | 2:26:49 | 2:26:53 | |
reason we have cut back is because
"Schools treat sugary drinks like | 2:26:53 | 2:26:58 | |
arsenic is these days." I always
think it is a terribly middle-class | 2:26:58 | 2:27:05 | |
thing to only allow your children to
drink water. It is the sign of an | 2:27:05 | 2:27:10 | |
attentive mother. Some do not even
allow squashed. Apparently the | 2:27:10 | 2:27:12 | |
message is getting through.
Interestingly, a sugar attacks on | 2:27:12 | 2:27:17 | |
fizzy drinks is coming in on the
next month. In fact, we have taken | 2:27:17 | 2:27:20 | |
the initiative and have not been hit
by our pockets. We have recognised | 2:27:20 | 2:27:24 | |
that this is something that needs
stopped. But we have waited until a | 2:27:24 | 2:27:28 | |
time when two thirds of adults and
one third of children are in peace | 2:27:28 | 2:27:33 | |
-- obese. Indeed, we have. We are
still at crisis level. Elsewhere, | 2:27:33 | 2:27:37 | |
lots of debate about whether to have
your scorns with cream on the top or | 2:27:37 | 2:27:41 | |
bottom and I wonder whether the
cream should be on the scorn at all. | 2:27:41 | 2:27:45 | |
Maybe it is not the fizzy drinks!
The Queen has said which way round | 2:27:45 | 2:27:51 | |
it should be. The Queen likes it was
the cream on top. If you go to a | 2:27:51 | 2:27:57 | |
Buckingham Palace garden party...
Surely you to have been to a couple. | 2:27:57 | 2:28:00 | |
When you have been to one, the Queen
is on top. | 2:28:00 | 2:28:03 | |
I have been but I do not think I
have had is gone. | 2:28:03 | 2:28:07 | |
I do not like scorns.
At least use the scorn. Because | 2:28:07 | 2:28:16 | |
"scoan" is a sign you come from the
side. | 2:28:16 | 2:28:18 | |
What is wrong with that? -- at least
use the scone. | 2:28:18 | 2:28:28 | |
Just to recap, Russia has expelled
23, or is going to, British | 2:28:28 | 2:28:32 | |
diplomats in response to the UK
expelling 23. It is also holding the | 2:28:32 | 2:28:42 | |
activities of the British Council
across the country in response to | 2:28:42 | 2:28:44 | |
Britain's measures in response to
the poisoning of a former Russian | 2:28:44 | 2:28:48 | |
double agent and his daughter.
The headlines in a few moments. | 2:28:48 | 2:28:57 | |

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

At least eight people have been
injured after a faulty ski lift | 3:06:41 | 3:06:44 | |
threw people from their seats
at a mountain resort in Georgia. | 3:06:44 | 3:06:47 | |
As the lift malfunctioned,
people using it were forced to jump | 3:06:47 | 3:06:49 | |
out of their seats to
safety in the snow below | 3:06:49 | 3:06:52 | |
and those standing nearby
were forced to dive out of the way | 3:06:52 | 3:06:55 | |
as the lift raced towards them. | 3:06:55 | 3:06:56 | |
No reason has been
given for the fault. | 3:06:56 | 3:06:58 | |
If you've got a sweet
tooth and deep pockets, | 3:06:58 | 3:07:00 | |
this may be for you. | 3:07:00 | 3:07:01 | |

Telford's MP Lucy Allan says she's
been inundated with emails | 3:07:51 | 3:07:53 | |
from people saying they've been
victims of child grooming. | 3:07:53 | 3:07:55 | |
It comes after a report
in the Sunday Mirror claimed that up | 3:07:55 | 3:07:58 | |
to one thousand girls in the town
could have been victims of child | 3:07:58 | 3:08:01 | |
sexual exploitation since the 1980s. | 3:08:01 | 3:08:02 | |
That number has been disputed
by West Mercia Police. | 3:08:02 | 3:08:05 | |
Here's some of what Lucy Allan
had to say earlier today. | 3:08:05 | 3:08:13 | |
-- yesterday. I think it is
absolutely essential that we have an | 3:08:16 | 3:08:20 | |
independent inquiry, wholly
independent of the Council, and that | 3:08:20 | 3:08:24 | |
is focused on Telford. I am
delighted, of course, that all | 3:08:24 | 3:08:28 | |
parties now agree that that is the
best way forward. The reason for | 3:08:28 | 3:08:32 | |
that is because of this silence
around this crime. I think that the | 3:08:32 | 3:08:37 | |
institutions, the establishment,
people are not talking about this. | 3:08:37 | 3:08:44 | |
We can talk to former Detective
Inspector Maggie Oliver who worked | 3:08:44 | 3:08:47 | |
on the Rochdale case and later
resigned from her job claiming that | 3:08:47 | 3:08:52 | |
the force had failed victims of the
scandal. Thank you very much for | 3:08:52 | 3:08:55 | |
speaking to us today. These figures,
the police are saying that they are | 3:08:55 | 3:09:00 | |
not acknowledging these figures,
saying they are investigating 46 at | 3:09:00 | 3:09:04 | |
the moment. What you make these
figures? I have been saying since I | 3:09:04 | 3:09:10 | |
started to speak out publicly in
2011, and I went to the Home Office | 3:09:10 | 3:09:13 | |
to say that the figures that were
being reported were... Not correct. | 3:09:13 | 3:09:19 | |
They were being underreported, on
recorded. The Home Office select | 3:09:19 | 3:09:24 | |
committee accepted that. -- under
recorded. These figures are not | 3:09:24 | 3:09:30 | |
fabricated, in my experience.
Whichever city in the country you go | 3:09:30 | 3:09:36 | |
to, you will see the same
statistics. When we know the extent | 3:09:36 | 3:09:43 | |
of this scandal, and how horrific
this scandal is, why do you think | 3:09:43 | 3:09:48 | |
now it is still being underreported
and under recorded, the two words | 3:09:48 | 3:09:52 | |
you used? At the time, OK, we accept
that was happening and a big | 3:09:52 | 3:09:57 | |
mistake, but for it now to still be
being ignored? All I can say is that | 3:09:57 | 3:10:03 | |
for me this feels a little bit like,
I don't know, the boy who cried | 3:10:03 | 3:10:07 | |
wolf. The authorities are very
powerful. If the situation had not | 3:10:07 | 3:10:14 | |
kept being repeated in Rochdale, in
Rotherham, in Newcastle, in Telford, | 3:10:14 | 3:10:19 | |
you know, they can say that ones.
But the public now that these | 3:10:19 | 3:10:27 | |
figures are true. The MP for
Telford, she is in a position I was | 3:10:27 | 3:10:33 | |
in five years ago. She is hearing it
for the first time for Telford. I | 3:10:33 | 3:10:37 | |
know from Rochdale that what was
being... Nine men were prosecuted in | 3:10:37 | 3:10:43 | |
Rochdale. From my experience, girl
that I spoke to were naming dozens | 3:10:43 | 3:10:47 | |
of men that had abused them and they
were never prosecuted. So, Maggie, I | 3:10:47 | 3:10:52 | |
am trying to get a sense. Are you
suggesting that the same mistakes | 3:10:52 | 3:10:56 | |
are being made again by the
authorities, who are at best | 3:10:56 | 3:11:02 | |
treating some of the claims with
caution, and, in this case, actually | 3:11:02 | 3:11:07 | |
saying they don't exist? Are you
saying that mistakes are just being | 3:11:07 | 3:11:10 | |
repeated over and over again by the
reaction of the authorities? How | 3:11:10 | 3:11:15 | |
could they react more
constructively? Keep on hearing the | 3:11:15 | 3:11:21 | |
same platitudes trotted out every
time a case like this breaks. Even | 3:11:21 | 3:11:23 | |
this week, these kids are
consenting, they are child | 3:11:23 | 3:11:31 | |
prostitutes, it is easier to blame
the victims than to prosecute the | 3:11:31 | 3:11:36 | |
offenders. To prosecute them is very
time-consuming. It takes a lot of | 3:11:36 | 3:11:41 | |
resources. There is no
accountability but we keep hearing | 3:11:41 | 3:11:43 | |
the same failures. I would ask these
people in senior positions in the | 3:11:43 | 3:11:50 | |
police, Chief Constable that
politicians, if your child of 1312 | 3:11:50 | 3:11:53 | |
was being groomed, abused and passed
around gangs of paedophiles, would | 3:11:53 | 3:11:59 | |
they think that was acceptable?
Would they say that a 13-year-old | 3:11:59 | 3:12:03 | |
can consent? Would they not record
an official crime report for every | 3:12:03 | 3:12:09 | |
rape or every man that reach the
child? It is as though there is a | 3:12:09 | 3:12:13 | |
disconnect between what they are
saying about his victims. -- that | 3:12:13 | 3:12:19 | |
reaped their child. They are rating
of these children because they do | 3:12:19 | 3:12:21 | |
not have a voice. We keep seeing the
same pattern repeating. | 3:12:21 | 3:12:27 | |
What would you say to somebody who
is watching now, who understands, | 3:12:27 | 3:12:31 | |
I've knows somebody who has been a
victim, either as a victim, in terms | 3:12:31 | 3:12:36 | |
of... What people will hear is that
this is not going to be taken | 3:12:36 | 3:12:39 | |
seriously if they are victim, or
that it is easy to be locked in a | 3:12:39 | 3:12:45 | |
group that perhaps can be ignored,
because there is not the proper | 3:12:45 | 3:12:48 | |
process of recording this. Is that
impression true? And individual | 3:12:48 | 3:12:52 | |
victim does not really have a voice.
I think as a society, we need to | 3:12:52 | 3:12:58 | |
tackle this. As a society, as a
country, where our priorities? The | 3:12:58 | 3:13:04 | |
responsibility for dealing with
these lies with politicians, the | 3:13:04 | 3:13:07 | |
Home Secretary, Chief Constable.
Quote bold statement to say an | 3:13:07 | 3:13:12 | |
individual who has a victim does not
have a voice. That is what I have | 3:13:12 | 3:13:16 | |
witnessed. You speak to the girls on
Telford this week and see whether | 3:13:16 | 3:13:20 | |
they have been listened to. When the
authorities say that lessons have | 3:13:20 | 3:13:24 | |
been learned, words are very easy
but we keep on hearing of the | 3:13:24 | 3:13:27 | |
country the repetition of the same
failures. I have known about this, I | 3:13:27 | 3:13:30 | |
have worked on jobs since 2003. I
keep hearing exactly the same set of | 3:13:30 | 3:13:36 | |
circumstances. When I started to
speak out, I did not know it was a | 3:13:36 | 3:13:42 | |
national problem. I thought it was
just Rochdale. I wish I had never | 3:13:42 | 3:13:46 | |
travelled the journey that I have
travelled, because it has destroyed | 3:13:46 | 3:13:48 | |
my life in many ways. I gave up my
career, I lost my home, I had no | 3:13:48 | 3:13:54 | |
income. What I saw was a failure to
protect vulnerable children. Now, 15 | 3:13:54 | 3:13:59 | |
years later, I am still hearing the
same platitudes from people in | 3:13:59 | 3:14:05 | |
positions of authority. They should
be protecting these kids. If this | 3:14:05 | 3:14:09 | |
was my daughter, they would listen
to me because I would fight tooth | 3:14:09 | 3:14:15 | |
and nail, as would you, but some of
these children do not have anybody | 3:14:15 | 3:14:18 | |
fighting a corner. That is where
Chief Constables and politicians | 3:14:18 | 3:14:21 | |
should step up to the mark and
prosecuted these paedophiles. They | 3:14:21 | 3:14:27 | |
know full well what they are doing,
they are getting away with it. As a | 3:14:27 | 3:14:32 | |
country, we need to take action.
Another inquiry. In my experience, | 3:14:32 | 3:14:39 | |
again, all of these inquiries are
not really worth the paper that they | 3:14:39 | 3:14:42 | |
are written on because action does
not follow. Maggie, we appreciate | 3:14:42 | 3:14:46 | |
your time. Thank you for speaking to
us. Thank you very much. | 3:14:46 | 3:14:51 | |
Here's Helen with a look
at this morning's weather. | 3:14:51 | 3:14:54 | |
Here's Helen with a look
at this morning's weather. | 3:14:54 | 3:14:55 | |
The mini beast from the east, we
understand, is making its way | 3:14:55 | 3:14:59 | |
towards us.
It is your weapons, actually! It is | 3:14:59 | 3:15:02 | |
snowing steadily here in London, and
across many southern and eastern | 3:15:02 | 3:15:06 | |
areas at the moment. Met Office
amber warnings in force until the | 3:15:06 | 3:15:12 | |
afternoon, but even -- from the
afternoon, but even heard of that, a | 3:15:12 | 3:15:16 | |
wintry mix this morning. This is how
it looks in Suffolk. A wintry | 3:15:16 | 3:15:20 | |
picture already, with snow lying. We
have got some snow lying in Essex, I | 3:15:20 | 3:15:25 | |
showed due north Yorkshire as well.
There is snow and it is starting to | 3:15:25 | 3:15:30 | |
settle, particularly on the gardens
and sides of the roads at moment. It | 3:15:30 | 3:15:32 | |
is because, as you mentioned, we
have got this cold easterly beast. | 3:15:32 | 3:15:37 | |
They say that if a bit of weather a
law. When from the east is no good | 3:15:37 | 3:15:42 | |
to man or beast. It is so bitterly
cold. This is the snow picture, the | 3:15:42 | 3:15:46 | |
snow radar picture. Slightly
overdone but we are going to | 3:15:46 | 3:15:52 | |
continue to see them packing in the
North Sea. This is the remnants of a | 3:15:52 | 3:15:56 | |
weather front in the south that
starts to turn, overnight at least, | 3:15:56 | 3:15:59 | |
into some more persistent snow. A
very cold day for all of us. Even | 3:15:59 | 3:16:04 | |
when you do not have the snow.
Purely because of the strength of | 3:16:04 | 3:16:06 | |
that went. The air is very cold as
well. That is how it will be only | 3:16:06 | 3:16:11 | |
for a moment. 10 degrees down on
yesterday for some of us. -- on the | 3:16:11 | 3:16:16 | |
thermometer. Very gusty wind across
the western side of the UK. A real | 3:16:16 | 3:16:22 | |
buffeting from that wind here. Let's
take a closer look at where we think | 3:16:22 | 3:16:25 | |
the most significant snowfall will
be. We are not willing to Telstra, | 3:16:25 | 3:16:29 | |
as we are seeing, but we could have
several centimetres building up | 3:16:29 | 3:16:32 | |
through the day and overnight across
parts of Lincolnshire, and also | 3:16:32 | 3:16:40 | |
across south eastern area. Then
there is this big? Still over the | 3:16:40 | 3:16:43 | |
next time period, when it looks more
organised. -- a more organised area | 3:16:43 | 3:16:49 | |
of snow and rain will form. That is
across the Southern half of England | 3:16:49 | 3:16:52 | |
and South Wales. For the day, when
the weather system starts to his | 3:16:52 | 3:16:56 | |
from the south, showers concern us.
But a bit of snow forecast coming | 3:16:56 | 3:17:00 | |
across the southern half of the
country. That is to donate ten and | 3:17:00 | 3:17:05 | |
into tomorrow morning. Another
bitterly cold night because of the | 3:17:05 | 3:17:09 | |
wind, a penetrating frost, and that
is now settling because air is so | 3:17:09 | 3:17:12 | |
cold on the ground will follow
through the course of the day. A | 3:17:12 | 3:17:15 | |
winter wonderland as we wake up
tomorrow across southern and western | 3:17:15 | 3:17:19 | |
areas. Uncertainty as to how far
north that will effect, as well as | 3:17:19 | 3:17:23 | |
how far east, but another day were
it is quite grey and, without too | 3:17:23 | 3:17:28 | |
much sunshine, which really does
help at this time of year, it will | 3:17:28 | 3:17:30 | |
go even colder I think. Not colder
than today, but just as cold. | 3:17:30 | 3:17:35 | |
Temperatures may be marginally
higher, but very little in it. That | 3:17:35 | 3:17:38 | |
strong winds starting to ease a
little across Scotland and later in | 3:17:38 | 3:17:43 | |
Northern Ireland. Not with us for
long. Enough to cause some issues, | 3:17:43 | 3:17:46 | |
this cold spell, particularly if
you're heading out and about. We got | 3:17:46 | 3:17:49 | |
off the easterly wind into Monday.
We started to pick up a northerly | 3:17:49 | 3:17:53 | |
wind. Not a particularly warm
direction, but it will not be as | 3:17:53 | 3:17:57 | |
cold. We still have the problem with
ice. | 3:17:57 | 3:18:01 | |
Travellers are facing disruption
this morning as the "mini beast | 3:18:01 | 3:18:03 | |
from the east" brings fresh snow
and ice warnings to the UK. | 3:18:03 | 3:18:06 | |
Around 100 flights have been
cancelled so far | 3:18:06 | 3:18:08 | |
and drivers have been told
to expect disruption. | 3:18:08 | 3:18:10 | |
Let's speak to travel
expert Simon Calder. | 3:18:10 | 3:18:12 | |
Good morning, Simon, what is going
on there? If you are around, about | 3:18:12 | 3:18:17 | |
15,000 people, you will have been
sold already that your flight to and | 3:18:17 | 3:18:21 | |
from Heathrow has been cancelled.
British Airways alone has cancelled | 3:18:21 | 3:18:25 | |
over 80 departures. Most of them
short haul flights, but also a round | 3:18:25 | 3:18:30 | |
trip to, one each, to New York and
Chicago. On top of that, Air France, | 3:18:30 | 3:18:35 | |
KLM, Lufthansa, Portugal, as with
and there are lenders have also | 3:18:35 | 3:18:41 | |
cancelled flights. Gatwick Airport
says they are already at the moment | 3:18:41 | 3:18:47 | |
but do check with your airline later
because they're expecting problems, | 3:18:47 | 3:18:52 | |
and London City, all the problems
seem to in London. If you're one of | 3:18:52 | 3:18:57 | |
the other airports, if there is a
problem it is only because you're | 3:18:57 | 3:18:59 | |
trying to get to London. The flight
just due in from Edinburgh to London | 3:18:59 | 3:19:03 | |
city is actually know inside send,
which will be a surprise to the | 3:19:03 | 3:19:09 | |
passengers, I dare say. The pilot as
well. Wherever you travelling, you | 3:19:09 | 3:19:13 | |
should check in advance. I am seeing
delays building. Just half an hour | 3:19:13 | 3:19:18 | |
or so at the moment, mostly to do
with problems getting ice of the | 3:19:18 | 3:19:23 | |
aircraft, but as those build-up
during the day, we could see more | 3:19:23 | 3:19:26 | |
cancellations and I would say the
chances are there will be yet more | 3:19:26 | 3:19:31 | |
cancellations put in after Helen's
weather forecast just now for | 3:19:31 | 3:19:34 | |
tomorrow. The length will probably
start letting people know that after | 3:19:34 | 3:19:37 | |
an early evening, if your flight is
affected. | 3:19:37 | 3:19:44 | |
You say there are lens will let you
know, but you never quite trust you | 3:19:44 | 3:19:47 | |
will be told. What should be be
doing if we are travelling? -- say | 3:19:47 | 3:19:54 | |
they are lens. Check online with the
airport to see that your flight is | 3:19:54 | 3:19:58 | |
operating as you expected to be and
be proactive cancellations, which is | 3:19:58 | 3:20:01 | |
what we have seen at Heathrow, most
of the cancellations so far we knew | 3:20:01 | 3:20:06 | |
about last night. They are simply
doing that to reduce the demands on | 3:20:06 | 3:20:10 | |
those two precious runways and all
of the de-icing equipment. | 3:20:10 | 3:20:16 | |
This morning, we have been talking a
lot about Russia and diplomatic | 3:20:16 | 3:20:20 | |
relations. We have just been told in
the last hour 23 diplomats will be | 3:20:20 | 3:20:24 | |
expelled from Moscow in retaliation
to what has happened in the UK. | 3:20:24 | 3:20:29 | |
There are lots of people who are
concerned about travel Russia ahead | 3:20:29 | 3:20:33 | |
of the World Cup. We also heard that
the England captain will be talking | 3:20:33 | 3:20:38 | |
and addressing some concerns that
his team members might be having. | 3:20:38 | 3:20:44 | |
What are you looking at in terms of
travel awareness? The Foreign Office | 3:20:44 | 3:20:47 | |
this week announced that British
people could face harassment in | 3:20:47 | 3:20:51 | |
Russia. There is clearly building
tension at it is possible that if | 3:20:51 | 3:20:55 | |
you are going out there in the next
few weeks that... I do not think, | 3:20:55 | 3:21:00 | |
from of many visits to Russia, that
you will encounter any hostility | 3:21:00 | 3:21:04 | |
from the Russian people who I have
always found very welcoming and | 3:21:04 | 3:21:07 | |
hospitable. You might find, for
example, when you're going through | 3:21:07 | 3:21:11 | |
passport control but officials will
be tougher than normal. Guards are | 3:21:11 | 3:21:16 | |
not recruited for their charm and a
sense of humour, I find, in Russia. | 3:21:16 | 3:21:21 | |
Beyond that, Dan Walker was
expressing concerns about 40 minutes | 3:21:21 | 3:21:26 | |
ago about safety. I would not have
particular concerns about personal | 3:21:26 | 3:21:29 | |
safety. I think it is a moral
question, whether by going very few | 3:21:29 | 3:21:35 | |
are somehow lending support to a
propaganda exercise. Having said all | 3:21:35 | 3:21:39 | |
that, I cannot wait to go. I have
already got my IDE! That is going to | 3:21:39 | 3:21:43 | |
entitle me to get into Russia
without a visa, and there are still | 3:21:43 | 3:21:49 | |
tickets available for the first two
England games. Personally, I am all | 3:21:49 | 3:21:52 | |
in favour of it. I think it will
help to build bridges with the | 3:21:52 | 3:21:56 | |
Russian people, rather than being
actually counter-productive. But | 3:21:56 | 3:21:59 | |
everybody has to make their own
decision. | 3:21:59 | 3:22:02 | |
You have made your view very clear!
Simon, thank you very much. | 3:22:02 | 3:22:08 | |
You're watching Breakfast. Temporary
look at the newspapers. | 3:22:08 | 3:22:19 | |
Events move fast, don't say. Between
the time we last saw you, we now | 3:22:19 | 3:22:24 | |
know about the expulsions, the
diplomats, the British diplomats in | 3:22:24 | 3:22:28 | |
Moscow, will be expelled within a
week. 23 exactly. You are taking us | 3:22:28 | 3:22:33 | |
back in your first story to some of
the issues around this? Well, you | 3:22:33 | 3:22:39 | |
talk about events moving fast, but
apparently until now, things did not | 3:22:39 | 3:22:42 | |
generally move fast in his would-be
cathedral city of Salisbury. The FT, | 3:22:42 | 3:22:48 | |
Salisbury turns into ground zero of
UK- Russia trail. It was Boris | 3:22:48 | 3:22:52 | |
Johnson yesterday saying that this
was the first chemical weapons | 3:22:52 | 3:22:56 | |
attack on European soil since the
Second World War. A very unlikely | 3:22:56 | 3:23:00 | |
setting. Some rather touching
anecdotal interviews from people in | 3:23:00 | 3:23:06 | |
Salisbury. One shop manager of a
shop called Crystal's knows | 3:23:06 | 3:23:13 | |
everything there is to know now
about Novichok, whether you can | 3:23:13 | 3:23:16 | |
dissolve it in water, its expulsion
characteristics. This has shocked | 3:23:16 | 3:23:20 | |
the citizens of an unassuming pretty
English city, and, interestingly, | 3:23:20 | 3:23:25 | |
one that we associate with Thomas
Hardy novel and John Constable | 3:23:25 | 3:23:28 | |
paintings. I found this quite
amusing, one visitor, because it is | 3:23:28 | 3:23:33 | |
swamped with International
journalists at the moment, as one | 3:23:33 | 3:23:36 | |
local said you are not too bored,
are you? Just checking there was | 3:23:36 | 3:23:40 | |
enough for them to do. There was
enough for them to do. Very unlikely | 3:23:40 | 3:23:44 | |
scenes, with its looking like the
service of planet Mars with tents | 3:23:44 | 3:23:47 | |
popping up. Also caught my eye. We
referred earlier to Boris Johnson | 3:23:47 | 3:23:52 | |
and him overstepping the line,
directly implicating Vladimir Putin, | 3:23:52 | 3:23:55 | |
which had not been done by Number
Ten. Also noting that Jeremy Corbyn, | 3:23:55 | 3:24:01 | |
in the soup potentially this week.
There may be resignations from the | 3:24:01 | 3:24:05 | |
Shadow Cabinet. A lot of them, three
at least, significant players, I | 3:24:05 | 3:24:11 | |
Smith for instance, are very unhappy
with the way in which there has been | 3:24:11 | 3:24:16 | |
constructive ambiguity from the
Labour leadership indirectly | 3:24:16 | 3:24:20 | |
accusing Russia. Constructive
ambiguity, up until now, seems to | 3:24:20 | 3:24:25 | |
have worked very much in his favour
with Brexit, but we are crying out, | 3:24:25 | 3:24:29 | |
are we not, for some proper
leadership from the opposition. | 3:24:29 | 3:24:33 | |
Constructive ambiguity grins the
Kremlin? I am unsure. If we could | 3:24:33 | 3:24:38 | |
now stick with the terrorist theme,
briefly. I am going to take you to | 3:24:38 | 3:24:44 | |
the Daily Mail, who I feel that
slightly... The double page spread | 3:24:44 | 3:24:50 | |
in the Mail. Refugee who hated
Britain. | 3:24:50 | 3:24:53 | |
This is actually the version of the
story from the Express as well. You | 3:24:53 | 3:24:59 | |
can see the Mail is very aggrieved,
understandably so, that this | 3:24:59 | 3:25:03 | |
teenager got so much from the
British system and yet, you know, | 3:25:03 | 3:25:06 | |
repeat them with murderous intent.
But I feel the real journalistic | 3:25:06 | 3:25:11 | |
story here is how did a boy, a lot,
we are talking a teenager, who was | 3:25:11 | 3:25:16 | |
in touch with charities, emigration,
was on this anti-radicalisation | 3:25:16 | 3:25:21 | |
programme, in a skill, not just
monitored that awarded for his | 3:25:21 | 3:25:24 | |
academic achievements, slipped
through the net and concoct a bomb | 3:25:24 | 3:25:28 | |
and detonated in broad daylight? It
does not bored too well for handling | 3:25:28 | 3:25:33 | |
of the Kremlin. That is the question
that needs to be asked by a proper | 3:25:33 | 3:25:38 | |
journalists.
Page of the newspaper is this | 3:25:38 | 3:25:48 | |
101-year-old woman who has come out
of seclusion to sue over a | 3:25:48 | 3:25:52 | |
docudrama. I have spent the past two
years with six women over 100 for a | 3:25:52 | 3:25:57 | |
bit and I know that the body
weathers but the eagle must resist | 3:25:57 | 3:26:01 | |
what is the point? Although they are
to have a land -- she is really | 3:26:01 | 3:26:07 | |
putting her point across at the age
of 101. The depiction of her in a | 3:26:07 | 3:26:13 | |
docudrama, Viewed, which features
Betty Davis and her sister she | 3:26:13 | 3:26:23 | |
doesn't the misappropriation of what
happened. She is incidentally played | 3:26:23 | 3:26:26 | |
by Catherine Zeta Jones. They refer
to recalling her sister the word we | 3:26:26 | 3:26:31 | |
would use for a female dog. It has
not gone down well, and the court | 3:26:31 | 3:26:35 | |
hearing starts in Los Angeles in
Monday. The reason this is | 3:26:35 | 3:26:38 | |
significant beyond a demonstration
of them available in extreme old age | 3:26:38 | 3:26:43 | |
is that it could have extreme
implications for the way in which we | 3:26:43 | 3:26:46 | |
depict real people in a fictional
drama. The Krona is a big example, | 3:26:46 | 3:26:52 | |
for instance. Actually, does this
mean in future they have always got | 3:26:52 | 3:26:54 | |
to be authorised by the people in
those films? Unless they are dead. I | 3:26:54 | 3:27:02 | |
am intrigued as to what you have
learned from hanging out with, is at | 3:27:02 | 3:27:07 | |
six women over 100 years old? I have
learned that it is not just about | 3:27:07 | 3:27:13 | |
living, it is about living well. You
need genetic luck, good genes, but | 3:27:13 | 3:27:19 | |
all of these women, there is no one
bullet. Some have great families, | 3:27:19 | 3:27:23 | |
great Church, some have great
professional interest, but it is | 3:27:23 | 3:27:26 | |
about remaining relevant. Not being
too judgmental, keeping up with | 3:27:26 | 3:27:31 | |
contemporary events and staying
engaged with your community. You | 3:27:31 | 3:27:33 | |
will be rewarded antics -- in
extreme old age if you stay engaged | 3:27:33 | 3:27:40 | |
with your community. Once your 100,
that is a community 50 years younger | 3:27:40 | 3:27:44 | |
than you. I have learned a huge
amount. Also not to look at what you | 3:27:44 | 3:27:47 | |
do not have but to be grateful for
what you have. As you get older, | 3:27:47 | 3:27:52 | |
there is lost, so you have to hold
onto what you have. | 3:27:52 | 3:27:55 | |
On that philosophical thought, I
think we are done! I was going to go | 3:27:55 | 3:28:00 | |
to another oldie, but no time!
We are going to talk to Matt, he was | 3:28:00 | 3:28:04 | |
taking | 3:28:04 | 3:28:09 | |
taking over BBC One with Saturday
Kitchen. We have been talking about | 3:28:09 | 3:28:12 | |
fish. Have you? Yes, we have been
asked to look at mackerel and dab. | 3:28:12 | 3:28:19 | |
Sustainability. Do you want this big
discussion now? Why not? No, you | 3:28:19 | 3:28:26 | |
just tell us what is going on. Can I
just say hello to test? She wrote a | 3:28:26 | 3:28:31 | |
lovely article on me recently, so
thank you very much. Hold on a | 3:28:31 | 3:28:36 | |
minute, she wants to say something.
He is in this magazine looking | 3:28:36 | 3:28:40 | |
resplendent in Chef's whites. I want
to know what colour he is going to | 3:28:40 | 3:28:46 | |
kick in in future. Not white! Very
unforgiving. Enough of my dress | 3:28:46 | 3:28:50 | |
code. A lot about St Patrick's Day
today, obviously, and our special | 3:28:50 | 3:28:55 | |
guest is the fantastic Amanda
Redmond. Lovely to be sure. What is | 3:28:55 | 3:29:03 | |
your idea of food heaven? Curry. I
love curries, love them. And what | 3:29:03 | 3:29:11 | |
about hell? I do not like couscous.
Look at that face! And I do not like | 3:29:11 | 3:29:20 | |
fatty meat. OK, good, good. We have
also got two more at... I really do | 3:29:20 | 3:29:26 | |
not like fatty meat. I get it!
Helping us celebrate St Patrick's | 3:29:26 | 3:29:33 | |
Day, what will you cook? Some
beautiful lamb, with some potato, | 3:29:33 | 3:29:39 | |
whiskey and toasted oatmeal. No fat
on the LAN! He has treated a lot. | 3:29:39 | 3:29:48 | |
What is on the menu, how is it?
Rainbow trout with chorizo, muscles | 3:29:48 | 3:29:55 | |
and tomato salsa. That is one of
your favourites. A bit of Spanish | 3:29:55 | 3:29:59 | |
sulphur for this lovely weather. And
we have also got drinks. You guys at | 3:29:59 | 3:30:04 | |
home are in charge of Amanda's food
heaven or hell at the end of the | 3:30:04 | 3:30:09 | |
show. See you at 10am.
Thank you very much. The headlines | 3:30:09 | 3:30:15 | |
coming up in just a moment. | 3:30:15 | 3:30:16 | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. | 3:30:46 | 3:30:51 | |
Coming up before 10.00am. | 3:30:51 | 3:30:59 | |
John will have all the latest in the
sport and Helen will have the | 3:30:59 | 3:31:02 | |
weather. | 3:31:02 | 3:31:04 | |
First a summary of this
morning's main news. | 3:31:04 | 3:31:07 | |
Within the last few hours,
Russia has ordered twenty-three | 3:31:07 | 3:31:09 | |
British diplomats to leave
the country in retaliation | 3:31:09 | 3:31:11 | |
for the expulsion of the same number
of Russians from the UK earlier this | 3:31:11 | 3:31:15 | |
week. | 3:31:15 | 3:31:16 | |
It comes almost a fortnight
after the nerve agent attack | 3:31:16 | 3:31:18 | |
on former Russian spy Sergei Skripal
and his daugher. | 3:31:18 | 3:31:26 | |
We can speak now to Richard
Galpin who is in Moscow. | 3:31:27 | 3:31:32 | |
There has been a series of events.
It began with the UK ambassador to | 3:31:32 | 3:31:38 | |
Russia being summoned? Yes, that is
right. The ambassador was summoned | 3:31:38 | 3:31:46 | |
to the ministry here in Moscow. We
now know that that meeting was | 3:31:46 | 3:31:51 | |
inside the building was very short.
He was therefore little more than | 3:31:51 | 3:31:54 | |
ten minutes. He was handed the list
of measures that Russia was going to | 3:31:54 | 3:31:59 | |
implement in retaliation to what
Britain has done, and as you say, | 3:31:59 | 3:32:03 | |
that list includes 23 British
diplomats being expelled from this | 3:32:03 | 3:32:07 | |
country, expelled from the embassy,
and that will take place, or has to | 3:32:07 | 3:32:12 | |
take place within a week. They have
gone further. They are also saying | 3:32:12 | 3:32:21 | |
that the British Consulate in St
Petersburg affectively will have two | 3:32:21 | 3:32:25 | |
C is operating. It is quite a big
operation. St Petersburg is Russia's | 3:32:25 | 3:32:33 | |
the second biggest city. That
affects people getting visas to come | 3:32:33 | 3:32:37 | |
to Britain. They are also stopping
the operation of the British Council | 3:32:37 | 3:32:41 | |
in this country. That provides a lot
of cultural activities, language | 3:32:41 | 3:32:49 | |
learning for Russians, again. This
is similar to what faded after the | 3:32:49 | 3:32:56 | |
tit-for-tat following the murder of
Alexander lit the new anchor in | 3:32:56 | 3:33:00 | |
2006. | 3:33:00 | 3:33:10 | |
-- Litvinienko. He said that Britain
had to act after the poisoning in | 3:33:13 | 3:33:18 | |
Salisbury two weeks ago. We need to
defend our allies and our values | 3:33:18 | 3:33:25 | |
against an attack of this sort,
which is a threat not only on the | 3:33:25 | 3:33:30 | |
United Kingdom, but the system on
which all countries, including | 3:33:30 | 3:33:34 | |
Russia depend for their safety and
security. What has also been said by | 3:33:34 | 3:33:41 | |
Russia is that if now Britain does
impose further measures on Russia, | 3:33:41 | 3:33:49 | |
Russia will reciprocate once again.
So, there is a possibility of this | 3:33:49 | 3:33:54 | |
escalating, but obviously, we have
got to wait and see how both sides | 3:33:54 | 3:33:58 | |
play this out, now. OK, so there
will be a close focus | 3:33:58 | 3:34:08 | |
will be a close focus on the
responses and how measured they are. | 3:34:08 | 3:34:11 | |
There was also the stopping of the
opening incident Petersburg as well. | 3:34:11 | 3:34:15 | |
The Consulate general. Yes, that's
right. It exists already. It is | 3:34:15 | 3:34:20 | |
important. It is in St Petersburg
which is a really key city. The | 3:34:20 | 3:34:27 | |
country's second city. It obviously
affects Russians who want to get | 3:34:27 | 3:34:31 | |
visas to come to Britain. From now
on, they would have to come to | 3:34:31 | 3:34:40 | |
Moscow for example, to sort out
visas. It does make it more | 3:34:40 | 3:34:44 | |
difficult for Russians, and of
course, we have got to wait and see | 3:34:44 | 3:34:48 | |
what is going to happen. Is this
tit-for-tat exchange now going to be | 3:34:48 | 3:34:53 | |
a calming down, or will there be
further measures, or not. The other | 3:34:53 | 3:34:57 | |
factor that we have got to take into
account is of course the murder | 3:34:57 | 3:35:01 | |
investigation into Nikolai Glushov.
They are investigating it as a | 3:35:01 | 3:35:09 | |
murder. He was another Russian
dissident. Somebody who had gained | 3:35:09 | 3:35:16 | |
asylum in this country. | 3:35:16 | 3:35:24 | |
asylum in this country. They have
said that at this stage there is no | 3:35:24 | 3:35:27 | |
link between those two incidents.
The one between... | 3:35:27 | 3:35:39 | |
Police have launched a murder
investigation after two women | 3:35:39 | 3:35:41 | |
were shot and killed at a house
in East Sussex. | 3:35:41 | 3:35:43 | |
Officers were called to an address
in St Leonards-on-Sea last night. | 3:35:43 | 3:35:46 | |
A man has been arrested. | 3:35:46 | 3:35:47 | |
A man has been arrested. | 3:35:47 | 3:35:51 | |
Police say they are not looking for
anybody else in connection with the | 3:35:51 | 3:35:55 | |
shooting. | 3:35:55 | 3:35:57 | |
The Met Office is issuing an amber
warning for snow and ice in much | 3:35:57 | 3:36:00 | |
of England and parts of Scotland,
ahead of another cold snap. | 3:36:00 | 3:36:03 | |
More than 100 flights
to and from Heathrow have been | 3:36:03 | 3:36:05 | |
cancelled ahead of predicted bad
weather dubbed the Mini | 3:36:05 | 3:36:07 | |
beast from the east. | 3:36:07 | 3:36:08 | |
Highways England is advising
motorists to avoid | 3:36:08 | 3:36:10 | |
trans-Pennine roads. | 3:36:10 | 3:36:11 | |
It might have been panned by some
critics, but Hugh Jackman's movie | 3:36:11 | 3:36:14 | |
musical 'The Greatest Showman'
continues to dominate | 3:36:14 | 3:36:16 | |
the cinema and music charts -
sitting at the top of the UK album | 3:36:16 | 3:36:19 | |
chart for 10 weeks. | 3:36:19 | 3:36:25 | |
# So tell me where do
you want to go... | 3:36:25 | 3:36:32 | |
# So tell me where do
you want to go...# | 3:36:32 | 3:36:36 | |
The film is loosely | 3:36:36 | 3:36:37 | |
based on the life of
circus impresario PT | 3:36:37 | 3:36:39 | |
Barnum, AKA the greatest showman. | 3:36:39 | 3:36:40 | |
The only other album that's managed
to spend longer at the top spot | 3:36:40 | 3:36:43 | |
in the UK in the last 30 years
is Adele's 21, which managed | 3:36:43 | 3:36:46 | |
11 weeks at the top. | 3:36:46 | 3:36:48 | |
Those are the main
stories this morning. | 3:36:48 | 3:36:49 | |
They are. Hold. We have been hearing
that it is really, really cold. | 3:36:49 | 3:36:53 | |
Morning, John. A bit of snow at
Twickenham. I think I can see it is | 3:36:53 | 3:37:00 | |
still quite drizzly, there, as well.
Yes, it doesn't look great, | 3:37:00 | 3:37:05 | |
actually. | 3:37:05 | 3:37:07 | |
So, can Ireland complete
the Grand Slam today? | 3:37:07 | 3:37:09 | |
They'll have to do it at Twickenham,
where England haven't lost | 3:37:09 | 3:37:12 | |
a match under Eddie Jones -
our Sports Correspondent Olly | 3:37:12 | 3:37:14 | |
Foster is there for us -
tough one to call this Olly? | 3:37:14 | 3:37:22 | |
It is absolutely freezing. The
ground staff, bless them. It is | 3:37:30 | 3:37:37 | |
always busy. But, look at this. Blue
line at Twickenham, just in case, | 3:37:37 | 3:37:45 | |
the snow just settles. So, blue
lines. That is what they are busy | 3:37:45 | 3:37:51 | |
doing now. So that we can see
whether those tries are scored or | 3:37:51 | 3:37:56 | |
not if eager out of touch. Ireland
are going for the grand slam. They | 3:37:56 | 3:38:01 | |
beat Scotland in Dublin last
weekend. That was what was to suck | 3:38:01 | 3:38:05 | |
the save, that round four of
matches. They are unbeaten. They | 3:38:05 | 3:38:11 | |
just slipped past France. They beat
Italy, and the Scots. That put the | 3:38:11 | 3:38:16 | |
pressure on Eddie Jones' England.
England had lost to Scotland | 3:38:16 | 3:38:20 | |
earlier. Then they went to Paris and
they lost. That handed the | 3:38:20 | 3:38:26 | |
championship to Ireland with a game
to spend. Muted celebrations in | 3:38:26 | 3:38:30 | |
Dublin, because they were having
their eyes on the Grand Slam. It is | 3:38:30 | 3:38:35 | |
all about this match. Can Ireland
complete the clean sweep? Certainly | 3:38:35 | 3:38:40 | |
Eddie Jones' team has gone
backwards, were they lose three in a | 3:38:40 | 3:38:46 | |
row? If they do, then Ireland will
secure only their third grand slam. | 3:38:46 | 3:38:52 | |
Last time they did it was in 2009.
All of the pressure is on these | 3:38:52 | 3:38:58 | |
teams. That hear from both camps.
Everybody is aware of the | 3:38:58 | 3:39:02 | |
significance that it has for Irish
rugby and this group of players, but | 3:39:02 | 3:39:07 | |
it is also very, very exciting. You
want to put yourself against the | 3:39:07 | 3:39:13 | |
best teams. Nothing is perfect in
the world. Rugby is an imperfect | 3:39:13 | 3:39:20 | |
game. Every team has a certain area
of weaknesses, and we will be good | 3:39:20 | 3:39:27 | |
enough to exploit those areas and
weaknesses. Well, Eddie Jones has | 3:39:27 | 3:39:33 | |
made so many changes to his England
team. Just the one island change. We | 3:39:33 | 3:39:39 | |
will get started in Rome, this
afternoon. That is where Scotland's | 3:39:39 | 3:39:44 | |
art against Italy. Italy have
already won the wooden spoon. And | 3:39:44 | 3:39:49 | |
then at five o'clock in Cardiff.
That will be the match to decide who | 3:39:49 | 3:39:54 | |
finishes second. We have got a
triple bill, but sandwiched in the | 3:39:54 | 3:39:59 | |
middle is this grand slam decider.
Can Ireland do this? It is Charlie | 3:39:59 | 3:40:06 | |
in the studio. They say that there
is no such thing as bad where the -- | 3:40:06 | 3:40:13 | |
weather, it is just the wrong
clothing. Yes, Mike toes are -- my | 3:40:13 | 3:40:21 | |
toes are cold. I am going on
holiday, and hopefully it won't be | 3:40:21 | 3:40:27 | |
snowing there. You know what they
say, there is nothing worse than a | 3:40:27 | 3:40:33 | |
snug, warm presenter in a studio
talking to a presenter doing the | 3:40:33 | 3:40:36 | |
hard graft on the pitch. Yes, you
do. I was just going to say that. He | 3:40:36 | 3:40:45 | |
need a sheepskin. | 3:40:45 | 3:40:48 | |
England's women ended their Six
Nations with victory over Ireland - | 3:40:48 | 3:40:51 | |
but they finished runners
up to France. | 3:40:51 | 3:40:53 | |
England won by 33 points
to 11 at the Ricoh Arena - | 3:40:53 | 3:40:55 | |
Danielle Waterman becoming
the nation's leading try-scorer | 3:40:55 | 3:40:59 | |
with 47 now to her name. | 3:40:59 | 3:41:02 | |
France took the title -
and the Grand Slam - | 3:41:02 | 3:41:05 | |
with victory over Wales. | 3:41:05 | 3:41:07 | |
ParalympicsGB are still short
of their medal target of seven, | 3:41:07 | 3:41:09 | |
after the penultimate day
of the Winter Games in Pyeongchang. | 3:41:09 | 3:41:12 | |
Scott Meenagh finished 14th
in the cross country event | 3:41:12 | 3:41:15 | |
and James Whitley was 10th
in the slalom. | 3:41:15 | 3:41:19 | |
Britain have won five medals so far,
all in the visually impaired alpine | 3:41:19 | 3:41:24 | |
skiing, and the three British pairs
will race again tomorrow. | 3:41:24 | 3:41:32 | |
It was a frustrating evening for
Hibernian. Hibs went ahead in the | 3:41:37 | 3:41:42 | |
second minute. Had there keeper held
out to the final few moments when | 3:41:42 | 3:41:49 | |
Chris Kane equalised Fulston
Johnstone. | 3:41:49 | 3:41:58 | |
And it seems that Kevin Pietersen
might have finally hung up his bat. | 3:41:58 | 3:42:01 | |
He tweeted "Boots Up. | 3:42:01 | 3:42:02 | |
Thank you" after playing
for Quetta Gladiators | 3:42:02 | 3:42:04 | |
in the Pakistan Super League. | 3:42:04 | 3:42:05 | |
The former England captain had
indicated the tournament | 3:42:05 | 3:42:07 | |
would be his last. | 3:42:07 | 3:42:15 | |
That is all your sportsmen are. Did
you happen to catch out of the | 3:42:17 | 3:42:22 | |
corner of your eye, because I think
that Helen was doing a sort of | 3:42:22 | 3:42:26 | |
skiing action, you were, won't you?
I was. I was just saying, | 3:42:26 | 3:42:31 | |
absolutely. | 3:42:31 | 3:42:35 | |
Enough snow to be able to ski, or
not at all. And the sun was shining. | 3:42:35 | 3:42:42 | |
It is just bleak. I think that
Charlie is having a funny three | 3:42:42 | 3:42:47 | |
minutes. He has been meaning to Lee
after him dressing incorrectly, he | 3:42:47 | 3:42:52 | |
was revealing that you are doing
since gaining motion when we were | 3:42:52 | 3:42:55 | |
off-camera. I think it is nice. It
is nice to get involved. She is | 3:42:55 | 3:43:01 | |
getting involved, enacting what is
going on. Yes, I am a little bit | 3:43:01 | 3:43:05 | |
worried that Ollie has not been
listening to the forecast, actually. | 3:43:05 | 3:43:09 | |
I have definitely got my path that
jacket. It is bitter, it is really | 3:43:09 | 3:43:18 | |
cold. Well, we need to listen to
what you have to say, because it is | 3:43:18 | 3:43:23 | |
changing all the time. And there are
destructions to travel. | 3:43:23 | 3:43:26 | |
We are seeing snow here in London,
and is not settling on the roads, | 3:43:32 | 3:43:37 | |
but as you can see, a dusting behind
me in Cambridge. A dusting in part | 3:43:37 | 3:43:42 | |
of supper, and parts of ethics. I
apologise that I have not been able | 3:43:42 | 3:43:47 | |
to get more weather watchers on this
afternoon. So much whether going on. | 3:43:47 | 3:43:51 | |
Let's have a look at why this is
changing. These Atlantic mild winds, | 3:43:51 | 3:43:58 | |
and this high-pressure thinking that
has allowed the Siberian winds back | 3:43:58 | 3:44:01 | |
across the country, and they are
really busting in the snow showers. | 3:44:01 | 3:44:05 | |
Most of the showers are now falling
as snow, and what we have in the | 3:44:05 | 3:44:09 | |
south is now turning to sleet and
snow, as well. It will settle, it is | 3:44:09 | 3:44:14 | |
settling in the gardens come on the
pavements, and it will turn quite | 3:44:14 | 3:44:18 | |
icy, and it will be a bitterly cold
afternoon. The winds are really | 3:44:18 | 3:44:23 | |
buffeting across the western side.
It will feel even colder, than those | 3:44:23 | 3:44:28 | |
temperatures on the them on to
suggest. Even those are some 10 | 3:44:28 | 3:44:34 | |
degrees down compared with
yesterday, can but it will feel | 3:44:34 | 3:44:39 | |
colder. It has been miles this week.
Please take note. Let's take a | 3:44:39 | 3:44:45 | |
closer look at where we are
expecting some of the most | 3:44:45 | 3:44:50 | |
destructive snowfall. Midlands into
Lincolnshire, and across southern | 3:44:50 | 3:44:57 | |
and eastern parts of England. The
showers will keep coming quick and | 3:44:57 | 3:45:02 | |
fast as the day goes on. Potential
to see some thing more widespread to | 3:45:02 | 3:45:07 | |
come, rather than the showers, which
will come one after the other, but | 3:45:07 | 3:45:13 | |
others will escape. For the south,
big area of snow comes in, so it | 3:45:13 | 3:45:17 | |
will affect a more wide spread area.
We are talking seven centimetres, | 3:45:17 | 3:45:22 | |
and that strong wind will blow the
snow around, so blizzards and poor | 3:45:22 | 3:45:28 | |
visibility will add to the snow
settling out the eyes, because it is | 3:45:28 | 3:45:31 | |
really cold, are the -- overnight.
It could be that we wake up to a | 3:45:31 | 3:45:41 | |
winter wonderland, Torah. There is
still uncertainty as to how far | 3:45:41 | 3:45:45 | |
north and east it is going to
affect, but it will take much of the | 3:45:45 | 3:45:51 | |
warning to be drought. That is
obviously going to cause significant | 3:45:51 | 3:45:55 | |
problems, as well as more showers
backing in. It is already going to | 3:45:55 | 3:46:02 | |
-- started to deteriorate because
North Yorkshire. We have still got | 3:46:02 | 3:46:06 | |
that biting easterly wind. We will
see more snow to night, tonight | 3:46:06 | 3:46:09 | |
actually across the central lowlands
of Scotland. That easterly wind will | 3:46:09 | 3:46:15 | |
get cut off as we go into Monday. We
will get more of a northerly wind. | 3:46:15 | 3:46:19 | |
We can argue that that is not a...
Slightly warmer, but we will have | 3:46:19 | 3:46:26 | |
that problem at night that things
will 's freeze. We will have wintry | 3:46:26 | 3:46:33 | |
problems were another two or three
days, actually. OK, Helen. You make | 3:46:33 | 3:46:39 | |
sure that you are that up warm as I
will too. Enjoy it, thanks. Hot | 3:46:39 | 3:46:45 | |
water bottle. Yes, exactly. | 3:46:45 | 3:46:50 | |
Britain's department stores
used to be the height | 3:46:51 | 3:46:53 | |
of luxury and service. | 3:46:53 | 3:46:54 | |
If you needed anything from clothing
to electricals or food, | 3:46:54 | 3:46:56 | |
they were the place to go. | 3:46:56 | 3:46:58 | |
But today they face fierce
competition in all categories, | 3:46:58 | 3:47:00 | |
as online retailers offer everything
a customer wants at | 3:47:00 | 3:47:02 | |
the click of a button. | 3:47:02 | 3:47:03 | |
Radio 4's Consumer reporter
Samantha Fenwick has been finding | 3:47:03 | 3:47:05 | |
out how department stores are trying
to fighting back. | 3:47:05 | 3:47:10 | |
George Davies has been called
a serial brand creator, | 3:47:10 | 3:47:14 | |
a fashion visionary,
the king of the high street. | 3:47:14 | 3:47:16 | |
They are very Abba,
these, aren't they? | 3:47:16 | 3:47:18 | |
Yes, very Abba. | 3:47:18 | 3:47:20 | |
I was too young to remember Abba. | 3:47:20 | 3:47:22 | |
He was the man behind Next and M&S. | 3:47:22 | 3:47:30 | |
When we started,
there were 400 spots. | 3:47:44 | 3:47:46 | |
By the time ago to the 1990s,
when I starting George and ASDA, | 3:47:46 | 3:47:49 | |
I already knew parking
was a real problem. | 3:47:49 | 3:47:51 | |
So you could see that there was,
at that point, decline | 3:47:51 | 3:47:54 | |
in the high street. | 3:47:54 | 3:47:55 | |
Yes, sure. | 3:47:55 | 3:47:56 | |
It was obvious. | 3:47:56 | 3:47:57 | |
George left M&S in 2008,
vowing never to return | 3:47:57 | 3:47:59 | |
to the high street. | 3:47:59 | 3:48:00 | |
He said it was no longer
a place to make money. | 3:48:00 | 3:48:03 | |
Ten years on, and he
has changed his mind. | 3:48:03 | 3:48:06 | |
His new line of women's
and children's clothing will be | 3:48:06 | 3:48:09 | |
in the shops next week. | 3:48:09 | 3:48:12 | |
So why the change of heart? | 3:48:12 | 3:48:14 | |
Rents are high, business rates
are high, but dealers own a lot | 3:48:14 | 3:48:17 | |
of their properties. | 3:48:17 | 3:48:20 | |
Probably 70%, they own it,
so that takes quite a high risk | 3:48:20 | 3:48:22 | |
out of it. | 3:48:22 | 3:48:24 | |
But not all department
stores are that lucky. | 3:48:24 | 3:48:25 | |
This is London's Oxford Street. | 3:48:25 | 3:48:28 | |
It is where all the big names
have their flagship stores. | 3:48:28 | 3:48:32 | |
But the buildings are big,
with too much unprofitable space. | 3:48:32 | 3:48:35 | |
House of Fraser have
asked their landlords | 3:48:35 | 3:48:36 | |
to reduce their rent,
and the likes of Debenhams and Marks | 3:48:36 | 3:48:39 | |
& Spencer's are closing
stores completely. | 3:48:39 | 3:48:40 | |
Costs are going up for retailers,
and shoppers want to go online | 3:48:40 | 3:48:46 | |
because it offers convenience. | 3:48:46 | 3:48:47 | |
They can get the lowest prices,
and they get the lowest prices | 3:48:47 | 3:48:50 | |
because those operators don't
have the same kind of costs | 3:48:50 | 3:48:53 | |
as a physical store. | 3:48:53 | 3:48:56 | |
The Government is concerned about
the state of the UK's high street. | 3:48:56 | 3:48:59 | |
It has just set up a special panel
to investigate how best to adapt | 3:48:59 | 3:49:02 | |
to the changes in the way we shop. | 3:49:02 | 3:49:07 | |
It is being led by Richard
Pennycook, the chairman | 3:49:07 | 3:49:10 | |
of department store Fenwick. | 3:49:10 | 3:49:17 | |
Department stores are about theatre
and service, and those are things | 3:49:17 | 3:49:20 | |
that can't be replicated online. | 3:49:20 | 3:49:21 | |
So I think there's a really good
future for department stores, | 3:49:21 | 3:49:24 | |
but it's all about making sure that
we're providing something different, | 3:49:24 | 3:49:27 | |
which makes the visit worthwhile. | 3:49:27 | 3:49:29 | |
It will have to be something very
different to get us off the internet | 3:49:29 | 3:49:33 | |
and into the high street. | 3:49:33 | 3:49:41 | |
Beer, green hats, shamrocks
and celebratory shenanigans... | 3:49:54 | 3:49:56 | |
It can only mean one thing -
St Patricks day! | 3:49:56 | 3:49:58 | |
And it's not just the Irish
commemorating the Patron of Ireland, | 3:49:58 | 3:50:01 | |
it's thought to be the most
celebrated festival in the world. | 3:50:01 | 3:50:05 | |
Let's have a look at what we can
expect. | 3:50:05 | 3:50:08 | |

The biggest St Patrick's day parade
will be taking place in New York | 3:50:53 | 3:51:00 | |
and is expected to attract around
200 million spectators. | 3:51:00 | 3:51:02 | |
Joining us from New York is event
organiser Nial Gibbons, | 3:51:02 | 3:51:04 | |
Chief Executive of Tourism Ireland
and on the sofa is Derek Ryan, | 3:51:04 | 3:51:08 | |
Irish Country music singer. | 3:51:08 | 3:51:14 | |
How are you. Happy St Patrick's Day.
But will you be doing today. I am | 3:51:14 | 3:51:21 | |
going to be in London, tonight. We
are bringing Irish country music to | 3:51:21 | 3:51:26 | |
the capital. We look for two that.
We look forward to some music at the | 3:51:26 | 3:51:31 | |
end of the programme, as well. Being
marked across the world, why do | 3:51:31 | 3:51:34 | |
think it is so popular? Sow well,
good morning. And a happy Saint | 3:51:34 | 3:51:39 | |
Patrick's Day from an early start
here in New York City. I think it is | 3:51:39 | 3:51:42 | |
very popular because there are
millions of people around the world | 3:51:42 | 3:51:49 | |
that claim Irish ancestry. It is
personified here in New York City | 3:51:49 | 3:51:53 | |
with the biggest St Patrick's Day of
the lot. There will be 2 million on | 3:51:53 | 3:51:56 | |
the streets. Even the lights on the
street are painted green for the | 3:51:56 | 3:52:02 | |
occasion. Is that true, 2 million
people? That is extremely! Yes. The | 3:52:02 | 3:52:09 | |
parade will start. It is the biggest
elevation of Irish is around the | 3:52:09 | 3:52:17 | |
globe. No better place to have it,
although you could say that it is | 3:52:17 | 3:52:21 | |
the second best place in the world
to be, the best place in the world | 3:52:21 | 3:52:24 | |
to be sticking to what is Ireland's
win the grand slam. Very good point. | 3:52:24 | 3:52:29 | |
Is it true that lots of New Yorkers
claim I was ancestry. A lot of | 3:52:29 | 3:52:35 | |
people claim it, is it a badge of
honour? It really is. The official | 3:52:35 | 3:52:41 | |
figures are 34 million people at the
300 million in the United States | 3:52:41 | 3:52:45 | |
take an Irish pots and pans of their
ancestry. It is the biggest ethnic | 3:52:45 | 3:52:50 | |
group in the United States. It is a
day that everybody wants to | 3:52:50 | 3:52:55 | |
celebrate. They are renowned for
having a good party, but this is a | 3:52:55 | 3:52:58 | |
day for everybody, and it is not
just for the Irish. 2 million people | 3:52:58 | 3:53:01 | |
will be on the streets of the
Avenue, and no matter what day of | 3:53:01 | 3:53:05 | |
the week, it shows the powerful
influence of the Irish. It is a | 3:53:05 | 3:53:13 | |
great celebration. Look at what
other countries are doing over the | 3:53:13 | 3:53:17 | |
world. Lighting up global icons. It
really affects on the work that | 3:53:17 | 3:53:21 | |
Irish missionaries for example have
done. It really is a great tribute | 3:53:21 | 3:53:26 | |
to our patron saint that we can sell
rate in this way. Derek, what | 3:53:26 | 3:53:30 | |
doesn't that they mean to you. We
know what side he is supporting the | 3:53:30 | 3:53:37 | |
rugby, but what does it mean to you?
It is a family day, really. Music is | 3:53:37 | 3:53:43 | |
a big part of it as well. I was the
Leeds Triangle player when I was | 3:53:43 | 3:53:49 | |
young. It was an important job at
the time. We went to all sorts of | 3:53:49 | 3:53:54 | |
parades, the colour and the
festivities. It is a day to spend | 3:53:54 | 3:53:58 | |
with family and fellow Brit anything
Irish. I always thought that if you | 3:53:58 | 3:54:03 | |
had no musical gift whatsoever, you
are given the triangle. Probably, | 3:54:03 | 3:54:07 | |
yes. Percussion is a very important
part. I am not disputing that. | 3:54:07 | 3:54:16 | |
Keeping everybody in time, though.
Music is very important. It goes | 3:54:16 | 3:54:21 | |
hand-in-hand with the celebrations,
why is that? It is a big part of our | 3:54:21 | 3:54:26 | |
country. -- culture. Country was it
for me, is really enjoying a boost | 3:54:26 | 3:54:31 | |
in popularity at the moment, with so
many young country singers coming | 3:54:31 | 3:54:35 | |
out. There is not a dance hall at
home, in Ireland and not a whole and | 3:54:35 | 3:54:41 | |
in town or village that doesn't have
dance lessons or Irish dance | 3:54:41 | 3:54:45 | |
lessons, so, it is a big part of our
country, -- culture, and everyone | 3:54:45 | 3:54:50 | |
will hear a lot of Irish visit this
weekend. And you know all about | 3:54:50 | 3:54:55 | |
these beds of Irish culture around
the world. Often this will be most | 3:54:55 | 3:55:01 | |
visible in Irish pubs. They are
everywhere? Note written about it. | 3:55:01 | 3:55:05 | |
Is it everywhere around the globe.
Even China, pubs with great names. | 3:55:05 | 3:55:16 | |
It is a great base for Irish people,
but it is a great stage, today, | 3:55:16 | 3:55:22 | |
particularly when everybody can be
Irish in some and the Irish music | 3:55:22 | 3:55:26 | |
scene. From the last couple of
years, there is a country connection | 3:55:26 | 3:55:31 | |
with Ireland. There is a nice
addition there. We are going to give | 3:55:31 | 3:55:37 | |
you a little quiz. Quite unfairly.
What was the original column is | 3:55:37 | 3:55:42 | |
associated with Saint Patrick was
mac Green was considered unlucky. | 3:55:42 | 3:55:47 | |
Erm... Blue. Did you know that? I
didn't actually been. | 3:55:47 | 3:55:59 | |
It is. And in Chicago, they go so
far as to die the river Kelly in | 3:56:05 | 3:56:10 | |
Chicago green. It is amazing the
extent to which we will will go to | 3:56:10 | 3:56:17 | |
celebrate. That is the Chicago
plumbers union. They have got a | 3:56:17 | 3:56:21 | |
secret formula. It is done every
year. It is a spectacular thing. It | 3:56:21 | 3:56:26 | |
is an amazing thing to see. Maybe we
should die the Thames green. Oh, no. | 3:56:26 | 3:56:32 | |
Thank you so much. Good luck with
your gift tonight, Derek. We have | 3:56:32 | 3:56:38 | |
been asking you to let us know how
you have been enjoying your St | 3:56:38 | 3:56:42 | |
Patrick's Day. | 3:56:42 | 3:56:45 | |
From dogs in hats to cake baking,
here are some of your pictures. | 3:56:45 | 3:56:53 | |
IRISH MUSIC PLAYS | 3:56:56 | 3:57:04 | |
A lot of dogs and hats. What else do
you do but put a hat in its? Why | 3:57:38 | 3:57:43 | |
not? Exactly. Just keep celebrating.
Do enjoy your St Patrick's Day if | 3:57:43 | 3:57:47 | |
you are celebrating. | 3:57:47 | 3:57:49 | |
That's all from us today,
I'll be back with Christian | 3:57:49 | 3:57:55 | |
tomorrow from 6.00am. | 3:57:55 | 3:58:03 | |
Now to play us out... | 3:58:03 | 3:58:11 | |
