0:00:13 > 0:00:16Nurses, porters and paramedics are among those expected to benefit
0:00:16 > 0:00:24from wage increases of around 6% over 3 years.
0:00:40 > 0:00:43Good morning.
0:00:43 > 0:00:46Also: New claims that personal data from Facebook was used by a British
0:00:46 > 0:00:48firm to influence the American presidential election -
0:00:48 > 0:00:52the academic at the centre of the row tells the BBC he's been
0:00:52 > 0:01:00made a scapegoat.
0:01:00 > 0:01:05Honestly, we thought we were acting perfectly appropriately. We would

0:01:24 > 0:01:27pay gap - I've been looking at the numbers.
0:01:27 > 0:01:29Three-quarters of them pay men more than women.
0:01:29 > 0:01:36In sport, its friendly week for England if the clash of the keepers.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39For candidates go ahead had to be the first choice at this summer's

0:01:44 > 0:01:49Good morning, a cold and frosty start of the David Ferrer England
0:01:49 > 0:01:55and Wales, a sunny one. Cloud will build through the north-west. --
0:01:55 > 0:01:59started the day for and Wales. Some light on patchy rain coming in from
0:01:59 > 0:02:05the west. -- start of the day for England and Wales.
0:02:05 > 0:02:09More than a million NHS staff are poised for a pay rise -
0:02:09 > 0:02:13with a deal that could be worth as much as £4 billion
0:02:13 > 0:02:15being announced by lunch time today.
0:02:15 > 0:02:17The BBC understands that health bosses and unions
0:02:17 > 0:02:17have
0:02:17 > 0:02:21reached an agreement that will mark an end to a 7-year-cap and boost
0:02:21 > 0:02:23the salaries of workers including nurses, porters and paramedics -
0:02:23 > 0:02:24but not doctors.
0:02:24 > 0:02:32Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster.
0:02:35 > 0:02:40It will be good news for people in need health service have seen it had
0:02:40 > 0:02:45backed 1% and frozen before that. We over public sector pay was lifted
0:02:45 > 0:02:51last September for police and prison officers. Particularly costly for
0:02:51 > 0:02:59the government.
0:02:59 > 0:03:06the government. Over the next three years. That is just on average.
0:03:06 > 0:03:13Lower paid staff would benefit more. Doctors and dentists are covered by
0:03:13 > 0:03:17separate pay review body. Effectively, people such as hospital
0:03:17 > 0:03:20porters would get far more than hospital managers as percentage
0:03:20 > 0:03:29increase. It could be as high as 20% for some staff. This is agreed by
0:03:29 > 0:03:40unions and staff themselves but unions are likely to endorse this.
0:03:40 > 0:03:44It could cost the government around £4 billion and come with quite a
0:03:44 > 0:03:49high cost. The crucial thing is from the health service workers point of
0:03:49 > 0:03:53view, they are not having to do things that would be suggested. Such
0:03:53 > 0:04:01as losing a days pay. We should say the average of around 6% could meet
0:04:01 > 0:04:05the current rate of inflation. They will have to make their own
0:04:05 > 0:04:09individual decisions about how much they benefit. Certainly compared to
0:04:09 > 0:04:15that pay, since 2010, this would be a significant departure.We will be
0:04:15 > 0:04:18talking to you later.
0:04:18 > 0:04:22Facebook will be questioned by politicians in Washington today -
0:04:22 > 0:04:24as the company comes under growing pressure to explain how data from 50
0:04:24 > 0:04:27million users was used by a British Company
0:04:27 > 0:04:28during the US presidential election.
0:04:28 > 0:04:30It's alleged that Cambridge Analytica used the data
0:04:30 > 0:04:32to target voters and influence the election outcome.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35That company's chief executive, Alexander Nix, has been suspended.
0:04:35 > 0:04:36Both firms deny any wrongdoing.
0:04:36 > 0:04:38Simon Jones reports.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42Facebook held a crisis meeting today...
0:04:42 > 0:04:45An international row about Facebook data making headlines
0:04:45 > 0:04:49in the States and in London, home to the consultancy,
0:04:49 > 0:04:51Cambridge Analytica.
0:04:51 > 0:04:54That company is accused of using the personal data
0:04:54 > 0:04:57of 50 million Facebook users to send highly targeted messages
0:04:57 > 0:05:02during the 2016 US election campaign.
0:05:02 > 0:05:09Secret filming by Channel 4 News shows Cambridge Analytica's boss,
0:05:09 > 0:05:11Alexander Nix, boasting about the role it played
0:05:11 > 0:05:12in Donald Trump's victory.
0:05:27 > 0:05:30The company has denied the Facebook information was used
0:05:30 > 0:05:31for this purpose.
0:05:31 > 0:05:34It said Mr Nix's comments do to not represent the values of the firm.
0:05:34 > 0:05:42He has been suspended.
0:05:43 > 0:05:47The Cambridge academic who created the data that was Harberton --
0:05:47 > 0:05:52harvested and has been banned from Facebook says that he has been
0:05:52 > 0:05:59banned.I have been used as a scapegoat by Analytica. We thought
0:05:59 > 0:06:04we were acting appropriately, and did not do anything wrong.Facebook
0:06:04 > 0:06:10says it did break rules by donating dated to third parties and says it
0:06:10 > 0:06:16has been deceived by Cambridge Analytica. There is growing pressure
0:06:16 > 0:06:21from politicians.
0:06:31 > 0:06:35from politicians.Thank you becoming on Breakfast. How is this gone down
0:06:35 > 0:06:41in America?
0:06:41 > 0:06:47The question everybody has asking.
0:06:47 > 0:06:53We are today six of this crisis. It certainly is a crisis. We AAT here
0:06:53 > 0:07:05even a peep from the founder of Facebook. They have had a meeting.
0:07:05 > 0:07:13That wasn't shared by Mark Zuckerberg what is happening here,
0:07:13 > 0:07:23it seems to me, is that blame is being passed from party to party.
0:07:30 > 0:07:34Blame is being shifted around, nobody taking it. There are several
0:07:34 > 0:07:39investigations being opened. The most prominent of which is by the US
0:07:39 > 0:07:43regulator for consumer affairs, much like Trading Standards. They are
0:07:43 > 0:07:46looking at whether Facebook broke important rules about getting
0:07:46 > 0:07:51consent about how data is being used if they find Facebook did break
0:07:51 > 0:07:55those rules, it could levy an enormous fine which is based on a
0:07:55 > 0:08:06number of users and time.
0:08:06 > 0:08:13number of users and time. We will be talking to a technology expert.
0:08:13 > 0:08:17The Royal Air Force has confirmed that a member of its Red Arrows
0:08:17 > 0:08:20aerobatic team has died in a crash in North Wales.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23The engineer was killed when a Hawk jet came down near the RAF Valley
0:08:23 > 0:08:25base on Anglesey yesterday.
0:08:25 > 0:08:27The pilot who is injured and receiving medical care
0:08:27 > 0:08:28managed to eject.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30There are no details about the cause of the crash.
0:08:30 > 0:08:38Our Wales correspondent Sian Lloyd reports.
0:08:43 > 0:08:47The red arrow hauled jet crashed within minutes from taking off
0:08:47 > 0:08:51Anglesey yesterday afternoon. The clouds of smoke could be seen for
0:08:51 > 0:08:55miles across the island. This footage was taken just moments after
0:08:55 > 0:08:59it came down. Two members of the red arrows display team were board. One
0:08:59 > 0:09:06crew member died.The family of the engineers have been informed and
0:09:06 > 0:09:10asked for a 24- hour period of grace before further details are released.
0:09:10 > 0:09:14The pilot of the aircraft survived the incident and is currently
0:09:14 > 0:09:19receiving medical care.Peter Glover saw what happened on his nearby
0:09:19 > 0:09:28caravan.I saw it --I saw the should open on the plane hit the ground,
0:09:28 > 0:09:34severely get the ground and a massive ball of smoke.The red
0:09:34 > 0:09:38arrows aerobatic team are famous that their displays. The two crew
0:09:38 > 0:09:41members have been training on Anglesey and the jet was returning
0:09:41 > 0:09:47to its base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire when it came down.The
0:09:47 > 0:09:51RAF say that the sort -- their thoughts are very much with the
0:09:51 > 0:09:55families of the two men involved in this crash. The joint enquiry into
0:09:55 > 0:10:00what happened is being carried out by the air accident investigation
0:10:00 > 0:10:04Branch in North Wales police.They are appealing for anyone who saw
0:10:04 > 0:10:13what happened here to get in touch.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Vulnerable mental health patients are being let down because of
0:10:16 > 0:10:21serious failings in our treatment. The ombudsman has said this. A new
0:10:21 > 0:10:25report identifies a number of issues with some mental health trusts that
0:10:25 > 0:10:28could lead to patients suffering distress, harm or even dying
0:10:28 > 0:10:35avoidably. The ombudsman found that mental healthcare staff can lack the
0:10:35 > 0:10:38capacity, skills and training they need to do their job effectively.
0:10:38 > 0:10:42They don't always have the support needed to learn from mistakes. The
0:10:42 > 0:10:49government says they are expanding the service provision.
0:10:49 > 0:10:53A group of MPs is warning of government complacency after Brexit.
0:10:53 > 0:10:56The all-party Home Affairs Committee says the transition period which has
0:10:56 > 0:11:02recently been agreed to be extended if public safety is not to be
0:11:02 > 0:11:05compromised. They say this down to the complexity of issues such as
0:11:05 > 0:11:12data sharing, the European Arrest Warrant and mentorship.
0:11:14 > 0:11:18It's been a 25 year wait - but later today the first polar bear
0:11:18 > 0:11:21born in the UK for over two decades public from today.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31with its mother Victoria at the Royal Zoological Society's
0:11:31 > 0:11:32Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland.
0:11:32 > 0:11:39We don't know.I have done a bit of research into sexing a poll about.
0:11:39 > 0:11:45No, Dan, really? What time would you like me to unveil? Never. It's quite
0:11:45 > 0:11:53interesting.Dan's morning has been wasted.It's to do with further
0:11:53 > 0:12:02levels. You can also look at when they wee and you can see were in the
0:12:02 > 0:12:12body it comes out of.Oh, my goodness. The things I
0:12:12 > 0:12:16goodness. The things I didn't know more details later.You will be
0:12:16 > 0:12:21looking at those poll about pictures and much more detail.What have you
0:12:21 > 0:12:25got for us?
0:12:25 > 0:12:36Ever an's attention seems to be turning to the World Cup.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39turning to the World Cup. Interviews with players, interviews with the
0:12:39 > 0:12:45manager, being kitted out. A lot of the talk is about the goalkeepers.
0:12:45 > 0:12:49The battle is on to being an's first choice goalkeeper and it is hotting
0:12:49 > 0:12:53up ahead of this summer's World Cup in Russia. Joe Hart says he would
0:12:53 > 0:13:01have nothing more. He is up against Nick Pope and Jordan Pickford.
0:13:01 > 0:13:04With manager Gareth Southgate set to experiment in the upcoming
0:13:04 > 0:13:08friendlies with the Netherlands and Italy.
0:13:08 > 0:13:13Manchester City aim to end a run of three matches without victories. The
0:13:13 > 0:13:17second year running. Chelsea also in quarterfinal action this evening.
0:13:17 > 0:13:20Britain's Heather Watson has suffered her sixth defeat in a row.
0:13:20 > 0:13:23She's crashed out of the Miami Open in the first round, losing
0:13:23 > 0:13:25in straight sets to Brazil's Beatriz Haddad Maia.
0:13:25 > 0:13:31Ronnie O'Sullivan is through to the quarter-finals of the Players
0:13:31 > 0:13:33Championship.
0:13:33 > 0:13:37He beat Graame Dott 6-1 in Llandudno.
0:13:37 > 0:13:42Never looked troubled at all. Just cruising through that one.Let's
0:13:42 > 0:13:46find out what is happening in the weather. Good morning. A beautiful
0:13:46 > 0:13:52picture behind you. Do you know that where that is behind you?No, I
0:13:52 > 0:13:58don't. It might be found in's Abbey? Sorry, Carol. It is a beautiful
0:13:58 > 0:14:04picture.
0:14:04 > 0:14:08It illustrates the weather, blue skies, some of us will start with
0:14:08 > 0:14:13this, but also frost, quite a frosty scene, where we don't have the cloud
0:14:13 > 0:14:17cover. In Harrison in the Outer Hebrides, the temperature at the
0:14:17 > 0:14:21moment is more or less seven but in Katesbridge under clear skies, it is
0:14:21 > 0:14:26-5. Huge difference in the areas where we have cloud and where we
0:14:26 > 0:14:31don't. Frosty for many but where we have the frost and clear skies, this
0:14:31 > 0:14:35is where we start with a lot of sunshine. You can see where we have
0:14:35 > 0:14:39the thickest cloud and that's in parts of Scotland and parts of
0:14:39 > 0:14:43Northern Ireland. Elsewhere we are looking at good breaks and that's
0:14:43 > 0:14:47where the temperature is quite low. Also a weather front sinking south
0:14:47 > 0:14:51today, taking rain with it, albeit light and patchy and a fair bit of
0:14:51 > 0:14:55cloud troubling south with it too so the further south and east you are
0:14:55 > 0:15:03you will hang the sunshine for the longest. A start in much of England
0:15:03 > 0:15:07and Wales. Scotland and Northern Ireland, you have a fair bit of
0:15:07 > 0:15:11cloud with some light and patchy rain. A bit of snow in the tops of
0:15:11 > 0:15:15the hills and through the day at the cloud pushes south on the weather
0:15:15 > 0:15:18front, it might not just produce drizzle and patchy rain here and
0:15:18 > 0:15:21there, but it will turn the sunshine hazier so the far south-east hanging
0:15:21 > 0:15:26on to the lion's share of the sunshine. Compare it to the
0:15:26 > 0:15:33temperatures of late, not too bad, double figures.
0:15:33 > 0:15:38As we head through the evening and overnight, our weather front here
0:15:38 > 0:15:42sinks south. You all seem or aim coming in across the north-west,
0:15:42 > 0:15:50showery at that, and also breaks in the cloud -- you will see more rain.
0:15:50 > 0:15:54What a difference in temperatures this morning compare it to tomorrow
0:15:54 > 0:16:00morning. Tomorrow will not be as cold. No issues with frost but here
0:16:00 > 0:16:03and there the cloud breaks with parts of the sub west seeing pockets
0:16:03 > 0:16:08of frost, but no more than that. Through the course of tomorrow we
0:16:08 > 0:16:13have drizzly rain in the south-east moving away, a lot of dry weather,
0:16:13 > 0:16:16sunny intervals and cloud building ahead of our next weather front from
0:16:16 > 0:16:21the Atlantic. This one is more organised and it will also produce
0:16:21 > 0:16:25heavy rain and the wind will also strengthen. But again, temperature
0:16:25 > 0:16:34wise, we're in pretty good shape. Up to ten, 11, maybe 12. Into Friday,
0:16:34 > 0:16:39this weather front continues to move steadily east, clearing much of the
0:16:39 > 0:16:42country but we'll start possibly with some light rain or drizzle in
0:16:42 > 0:16:46eastern parts of England, into East Anglia and the south-east, that
0:16:46 > 0:16:50moves away. If we follow it around, you can see this great big curl,
0:16:50 > 0:16:54again, wet and windy with possibly hill snow in the north, and we're
0:16:54 > 0:16:58looking at the potential of some of this rain coming from the
0:16:58 > 0:17:01south-west, which could be heavy, but the northern edge still open to
0:17:01 > 0:17:07question.Thanks, Carol, we will speak to you later.We are trying to
0:17:07 > 0:17:15work out where that Abbey is. Sorry for the rogue question.She is gone!
0:17:15 > 0:17:20Steph is here to look at the front pages and the back pages. The front
0:17:20 > 0:17:25page of times, the main story is about Cambridge analytic, lots of
0:17:25 > 0:17:31details in various papers this morning. A £1 million bribe to turn
0:17:31 > 0:17:35an election. Masood details and they are talking about plastic, plastic
0:17:35 > 0:17:49pollution tripling in seven years. -- the main story here, first
0:17:49 > 0:17:59British super suicide clinic set to pass assisted dying law.

0:18:06 > 0:18:13more detail on the Cambridge Analytica files. The Daily

0:18:29 > 0:18:33Westminster Abbey, his remains will be laid to rest and not given to a
0:18:33 > 0:18:39scientist in almost 80 years. It's in some of the other papers as well.
0:18:39 > 0:18:44The Sun, that's their front page, they are talking about a YouTube app
0:18:44 > 0:18:49that teaches people how to make a gun. The Daily Mail, Jeremy Hunt
0:18:49 > 0:18:53talking yesterday about care for the elderly and this is how they have
0:18:53 > 0:18:59put it, let's put our elderly first. Steph?I have two stories for you.
0:18:59 > 0:19:03I'm going to start with something I know annoys lots of people, car
0:19:03 > 0:19:07insurance, the cost of it, there's a report in the FT this morning saying
0:19:07 > 0:19:11the government has set down roles to cut down insurance claims for
0:19:11 > 0:19:17whiplash, which is why some firms say premiums go up every year --
0:19:17 > 0:19:23rules. Now they are going to say the changes would save £35 a year in car
0:19:23 > 0:19:28premiums. Not a lot but it is good to see it going down rather than up.
0:19:28 > 0:19:32In most of the papers today, something I will talk about later,
0:19:32 > 0:19:38the Church of England is going contactless with collection plates.
0:19:38 > 0:19:43Rather than having to put in coins, you can use your card or whatever to
0:19:43 > 0:19:51donate. This might catch your eyes, this cracking picture of a starling
0:19:51 > 0:19:55staring at a sparrowhawk, it has pinned it to the ground.Did it get
0:19:55 > 0:20:00away?It did, moments later they were startled by a pedestrian and
0:20:00 > 0:20:06disappeared under a hedge.How did it" as you like that's all I know so
0:20:06 > 0:20:15far, part two tomorrow. Incredible picture. -- how did it end?
0:20:17 > 0:20:19picture. -- how did it end?This is the England squad meeting at Saint
0:20:19 > 0:20:23Georges Park ahead of their friendlies this week to try on their
0:20:23 > 0:20:27kit for the World Cup. Each player has their suits, waistcoat, shirt,

0:20:32 > 0:20:37they have to take it back.It is from MNS, I'm sure they have a good

0:22:13 > 0:22:15It's nine months since the Grenfell Tower fire.
0:22:15 > 0:22:17It's nine months since the Grenfell Tower fire.
0:22:17 > 0:22:19Today, preliminary hearings into the tragedy continue
0:22:19 > 0:22:21before the main inquiry begins in May.
0:22:21 > 0:22:24The cladding on the tower has been pinpointed as a reason the blaze
0:22:24 > 0:22:27spread so quickly, and it forced local authorities across the UK
0:22:27 > 0:22:29to test cladding on similar properties.
0:22:29 > 0:22:31301 buildings didn't meet current building regulations
0:22:31 > 0:22:33and Salford was one of the local authorities
0:22:33 > 0:22:34with the highest failure rate.
0:22:34 > 0:22:37Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been to meet some residents waiting
0:22:37 > 0:22:40for cladding to be removed.
0:22:50 > 0:22:55Nine months after the fire at Grenfell Tower, the cladding on fall
0:22:55 > 0:23:00in court in Salford is still in place. We first filmed here in
0:23:00 > 0:23:07August last year.This is our lives that they are messing about with,
0:23:07 > 0:23:12and we are potentially living in a death trap, all of us.It's failed
0:23:12 > 0:23:24all the tests, so no matter what they say, you feel uneasy now.Today
0:23:24 > 0:23:28the residents remain angry, frustrated, afraid.A lot of people
0:23:28 > 0:23:34are quite frightened because if you look out of your window, you see
0:23:34 > 0:23:39smoke, and you see a fire creeping up the building... You feel as if
0:23:39 > 0:23:44you're in a melting pot, you know? Do you think the council is taking
0:23:44 > 0:23:48this seriously?Know, because if they were they'd have started work
0:23:48 > 0:23:54on this by now.In the days after the fire at Grenfell every tower
0:23:54 > 0:23:55block in the country over 80
0:23:55 > 0:23:56the fire at Grenfell every tower block in the country over 80 metres
0:23:56 > 0:23:59was checked. The latest government figures show in all 301 buildings
0:23:59 > 0:24:04have the same type of cladding is Grenfell Tower, 13 are public
0:24:04 > 0:24:09buildings like schools and hospitals, 130 are private box and
0:24:09 > 0:24:13158 are council blocks, of those only seven have completed their
0:24:13 > 0:24:14refurbishment.
0:24:14 > 0:24:16only seven have completed their refurbishment. So why is there such
0:24:16 > 0:24:20a delay in getting this urgent work done? Well, each cases complicated,
0:24:20 > 0:24:25in privately owned blocks there are legal rows between the freeholders
0:24:25 > 0:24:29and residents about who should pay for the work to be done. Form court
0:24:29 > 0:24:33is owned by Salford City Council but it is run on their behalf by a
0:24:33 > 0:24:36private finance initiative by Pendleton forever and again there's
0:24:36 > 0:24:40a row between those two about who should pay for the cladding to be
0:24:40 > 0:24:44removed. Do you think it's acceptable that we are nine months
0:24:44 > 0:24:48after the fire at Grenfell Tower and as far as they're concerned
0:24:48 > 0:24:52virtually nothing has been done?I'm not sure which residents you've been
0:24:52 > 0:24:57speaking to, would be deny that there are fire marshals in place at
0:24:57 > 0:25:01the moment? Would be denying we've taken steps in terms of the fire
0:25:01 > 0:25:06remand? Is still in place. The cladding is flammable. The cladding
0:25:06 > 0:25:10is not in place on the bottom levels, we've covered it with
0:25:10 > 0:25:17concrete in order to make it inert. Just let me finish... How long has
0:25:17 > 0:25:21this taken?We had to do the test and find the safest system we can
0:25:21 > 0:25:28possibly find for their benefit, and that's exactly what we're doing.
0:25:30 > 0:25:34Salford council has borrowed £25 million to replace the cladding on
0:25:34 > 0:25:39nine tower blocks. It says work will start in the spring and could take
0:25:39 > 0:25:42two years to complete. The government insists whoever owns the
0:25:42 > 0:25:46building should pay for the work. Local councils say central
0:25:46 > 0:25:50government should help. Who eventually pays is anyone's guess.
0:25:50 > 0:25:58Residents just want action. Do you feel safe?No, I don't. Stop making
0:25:58 > 0:26:02people live in fear in these blocks. We're not talking about a dozen or
0:26:02 > 0:26:06so, we're talking about hundreds of people on this estate.
0:26:06 > 0:26:11And across the country thousands of residents are still living in tower
0:26:11 > 0:26:15blocks with cladding deemed a fire risk. Graham Satchell, BBC News,
0:26:15 > 0:26:16Salford.
0:26:16 > 0:26:22The Grenfell Inquiry's main hearings are due to begin in May.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25Still to come this morning:
0:26:25 > 0:26:27could you give up driving your car and swap it
0:26:27 > 0:26:30for an automated driverless vehicle?
0:26:30 > 0:26:32Holly Hamilton is testing a driverless pod for
0:26:32 > 0:26:35us this morning.
0:26:35 > 0:26:43Horley, good morning.Good morning. Welcome to the future -- Holly. Who
0:26:43 > 0:26:48knew it was in south London? It's not a Formula 1 car, is it? It's not
0:26:48 > 0:26:53the fanciest or the fastest but it's definitely the future. It works with
0:26:53 > 0:26:58sensors, there's no need for a track or infrastructure, it works
0:26:58 > 0:27:01completely autonomously and that's why it is the complete cutting edge
0:27:01 > 0:27:07of driverless cars. It isn't Lewis Hamilton cruising along here but he
0:27:07 > 0:27:10does know this route pretty well, he's been using it for just over a
0:27:10 > 0:27:15year, and the idea of this trial is not to be testing how he works but
0:27:15 > 0:27:21it's to find out how you at home perceive it, do you like the idea of
0:27:21 > 0:27:25a driverless car, would you use one, will you accept it has something to
0:27:25 > 0:27:30get from A to B? This trial has been finding out, thousands have been
0:27:30 > 0:27:34trying to get involved so there's definitely a level of interest but
0:27:34 > 0:27:38do you like it? Are people prepared to sign up and use something like
0:27:38 > 0:27:42this or actually would you rather put the brakes on it? We will find
0:27:42 > 0:31:00out later
0:31:00 > 0:31:03little as we head into the early part of next week then it looks like
0:31:03 > 0:31:05it could get cooler midweek onwards.
0:31:05 > 0:31:07I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom
0:31:07 > 0:31:08in half an hour.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.
0:31:11 > 0:31:12Bye for now.
0:31:12 > 0:31:15Hello - this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18We'll bring you the headlines in a moment, but still
0:31:18 > 0:31:20to come this morning.
0:31:20 > 0:31:23There's just 2 weeks to go until the UK's biggest companies
0:31:23 > 0:31:25have to reveal their gender pay gaps.
0:31:25 > 0:31:26Steph will be taking us
0:31:26 > 0:31:29through those that have already published their figures.
0:31:29 > 0:31:37Fresh from their record breaking medal haul
0:31:38 > 0:31:43at the Paralympics, skier Menna Fitzpatrick
0:31:43 > 0:31:45and her guide Jen Kehoe will be here.
0:31:45 > 0:31:48And we've got more Olympic golds, Charlotte Dujardin is the girl
0:31:48 > 0:31:51on the dancing horse, we'll be talking about life
0:31:51 > 0:31:53after Valegro - her triple gold medal winning horse
0:31:53 > 0:31:54whose now retired.
0:31:54 > 0:31:55Good morning.
0:31:55 > 0:32:01Here's a summary of today's main stories from BBC News.
0:32:01 > 0:32:06More than a million NHS staff are poised for a pay rise for a deal
0:32:06 > 0:32:09that could be worth as much as £4 billion being announced by the
0:32:09 > 0:32:13government at lunchtime today. The BBC understands health bosses and
0:32:13 > 0:32:17unions have reached an agreement which marks an end of the 7- year
0:32:17 > 0:32:21and boosts the salary of nurses, porters and paramedics but not
0:32:21 > 0:32:22doctors.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24Facebook will be questioned by politicians in Washington today -
0:32:24 > 0:32:28as the company comes under growing pressure to explain how data from 50
0:32:28 > 0:32:30million users was used by a British Company
0:32:30 > 0:32:31during the US presidential election.
0:32:31 > 0:32:34It's alleged that Cambridge Analytica used the data
0:32:34 > 0:32:36to target voters and influence the election outcome.
0:32:36 > 0:32:38That company's chief executive, Alexander Nix, has been suspended.
0:32:38 > 0:32:46Both firms deny any wrongdoing.
0:32:47 > 0:32:50The Royal Air Force has confirmed that a member of its Red Arrows
0:32:50 > 0:32:53aerobatic team has died in a crash in North Wales.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57The engineer was killed when a Hawk jet came down near the RAF Valley
0:32:57 > 0:32:58base on Anglesey yesterday.
0:32:58 > 0:33:00The pilot who is injured and receiving medical care
0:33:00 > 0:33:02managed to eject.
0:33:02 > 0:33:04The jet came down shortly after taking off on a routine
0:33:04 > 0:33:08flight, there are no details about the cause of the crash.
0:33:08 > 0:33:11A group of MP's is warning of government 'complacency' when it
0:33:11 > 0:33:13comes to security co-operation with the EU after Brexit.
0:33:13 > 0:33:15The all-party Home Affairs Committee says
0:33:15 > 0:33:18the transition period which has recently been agreed may need to be
0:33:18 > 0:33:21extended if public safety is not to be compromised.
0:33:21 > 0:33:24They say it's down to the complexity of issues such as data sharing,
0:33:24 > 0:33:32the European Arrest Warrant and Europol membership.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39The government could face an additional bill of 300 million
0:33:39 > 0:33:40pounds after underpaying benefit claims.
0:33:40 > 0:33:43The shortfall in the Employment and Support
0:33:43 > 0:33:47allowance payment, the main sickness handout, was predicted to cost
0:33:47 > 0:33:48the government £500 million.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52But the National Audit Office says the true cost could be as high
0:33:52 > 0:33:52as £830 million.
0:33:52 > 0:33:55Ministers say they're committed to correcting the mistakes
0:33:55 > 0:34:02and are aiming to repay everybody by April 2019.
0:34:03 > 0:34:07We think what this highlights is the need for the Department to take
0:34:07 > 0:34:10underpayments very seriously indeed and hopefully department will learn
0:34:10 > 0:34:14from this episode about the need to do root cause analysis and properly
0:34:14 > 0:34:20understand why they are fighting problems and take actions to make
0:34:20 > 0:34:24sure they take a systematic approach to make sure people are paid exactly
0:34:24 > 0:34:28what they are entitled to.
0:34:28 > 0:34:34President Trump is rumoured to have ignored warnings from his advisers
0:34:34 > 0:34:37not to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his re-election. Mr Trump went
0:34:37 > 0:34:43against his advisers and was given a briefing note with an words, "Do not
0:34:43 > 0:34:45congratulate" in capital letters.
0:34:45 > 0:34:49Talk about springing a leak - these pictures are of a water main
0:34:49 > 0:34:51break in University City near San Diego yesterday.
0:34:51 > 0:34:53Local reports said a contractor hit a 6-inch-diameter
0:34:53 > 0:34:57blowoff valve connected to a water main causing the leak which saw
0:34:57 > 0:34:58water shoot up above the Californian highway.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02The break shut down the road for roughly 30 minutes while crews
0:35:02 > 0:35:05worked to shut off the water.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10As you can imagine, it shut down the road for about 30 minutes. Only 30
0:35:10 > 0:35:20minutes.
0:35:20 > 0:35:28minutes. Anyway, they got it under control as far as we know. Waking up
0:35:28 > 0:35:34in the morning would be much easier. We are talking about England, all
0:35:34 > 0:35:40attention the paper seems to be turning to the World Cup. The
0:35:40 > 0:35:44press's first chance to have a look and stop the build-up to the World
0:35:44 > 0:35:53Cup in this summer.84 days. The counting down? A going to Russia? If
0:35:53 > 0:36:01we are allowed. All the talk as well, each paper has picked a
0:36:01 > 0:36:11goalkeeper to talk to. He's worked in various shops. Coming up through
0:36:11 > 0:36:17the leagues. Now he's in contention to the Englandfirst goalkeeper.
0:36:17 > 0:36:20It's rare going into a major tournament that England don't
0:36:20 > 0:36:24have a nailed down Goalkeeper, but that seems to be the case ahead
0:36:24 > 0:36:25of this summer's world cup.
0:36:25 > 0:36:28Joe Hart, Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope are all competing
0:36:28 > 0:36:29for that spot in net.
0:36:29 > 0:36:32The squad is preparing for an international friendly double
0:36:32 > 0:36:34header against the Netherlands on Friday, and Italy next Tuesday.
0:36:34 > 0:36:38Hart has 75 caps for England, but says he's hungrier than ever
0:36:38 > 0:36:41to be the first-choice.
0:36:41 > 0:36:46It's obvious he going to mean everything. So many people who have
0:36:46 > 0:36:50the same feeling as me and we are all fighting in pushing in the same
0:36:50 > 0:36:55direction to be a part of it and we will see that at the moment, you got
0:36:55 > 0:36:59to live in the present and a hold on to the most important game.
0:36:59 > 0:37:02So Hart wants the Number 1 shirt, but so does new-boy Nick Pope,
0:37:02 > 0:37:05whose performances for Burnley this season have seen many tip him
0:37:05 > 0:37:06as a future first-choice.
0:37:06 > 0:37:08It's been an incredible journey for the 25-year-old,
0:37:08 > 0:37:10who used to be a milkman.
0:37:10 > 0:37:13One of the journalists in his press conference couldn't resist asking
0:37:13 > 0:37:15whether England's latest goalkeeping prodigy dropped any bottles
0:37:15 > 0:37:21on his milk run...
0:37:21 > 0:37:30No, I was clean. On the float, Electric.What's the best thing
0:37:30 > 0:37:35about being an England player?Can I call myself that if I've not played?
0:37:35 > 0:37:47OK. I think it's just the honour. The moment from Thursday to be
0:37:47 > 0:37:50around people who have been there from the start. People have
0:37:50 > 0:37:59travelled the journey with me. It was something I will never forget. I
0:37:59 > 0:38:09love that it's known as a clean round if you don't drop a bottle.
0:38:09 > 0:38:15Brazil is training in Moscow are a friendly against Russia but they are
0:38:15 > 0:38:19without their star player Neymar. Some flash photography here. He is
0:38:19 > 0:38:25out of action with a fractured foot. As you can see, this is him arriving
0:38:25 > 0:38:36at a club in Sao Paulo. It's not all doom and gloom. He is recovering
0:38:36 > 0:38:48from a black shirt -- fractured toe. Chelsea travel and Manchester City
0:38:48 > 0:38:55are looking to end a run of three matches without a win. They host
0:38:55 > 0:39:00Swedish champions Linkopings.
0:39:00 > 0:39:05We did our homework on them and they are a really good team and they have
0:39:05 > 0:39:09done well in Swedish football for a while so it's going to be a big game
0:39:09 > 0:39:14and tough opponents. It would be nice to have a home game. It's been
0:39:14 > 0:39:19hard, but the home support, with a great support and great fans and we
0:39:19 > 0:39:26love having them at home so very excited.
0:39:26 > 0:39:32Heather Watson's miserable run of form and is. She was beaten by the
0:39:32 > 0:39:39Brazilian, her sixth straight defeat. Defending champion Joanna
0:39:39 > 0:39:44Konta has a buy into Round 2.
0:39:44 > 0:39:47With snooker's World Championship in Sheffield just a month away,
0:39:47 > 0:39:50Ronnie O'Sullivan's gearing up nicely as he bids for a 6th title
0:39:50 > 0:39:51at the Crucible.
0:39:51 > 0:39:53He's through to the quarter-finals of
0:39:53 > 0:39:55the Players Championship after a 6-1 victory over Graeme Dott.
0:39:55 > 0:39:58The Rocket rarely looked troubled - He'll face China's Ding Junhui
0:39:58 > 0:40:00in the last eight in Llandudno.
0:40:00 > 0:40:03Finally, take a look at this. A ratty from the badminton
0:40:03 > 0:40:08championship. Women's doubles match. We've had to speed it up because
0:40:08 > 0:40:14they're in mind, the average rally Lankan badminton is about 13 shots
0:40:14 > 0:40:20but these four get up to 102 apparently. You get into something
0:40:20 > 0:40:25like this. The competitive element is lost because you want to keep it
0:40:25 > 0:40:42going. Have you ever had that? Like that episode of
0:40:42 > 0:40:45that episode of Friends were they throw the ball and they realise it's
0:40:45 > 0:40:51been a long time.
0:40:51 > 0:41:05Christmas 2015 was when Nadja Ensink should have been celebrating
0:41:05 > 0:41:06when celebrating
0:41:06 > 0:41:07the birth of her baby.
0:41:07 > 0:41:10Instead she was mourning the murder of her husband -
0:41:10 > 0:41:12who'd been stabbed to death as he posted cards
0:41:12 > 0:41:13announcing their news.
0:41:13 > 0:41:15Days earlier, his killer Femi Nandap had knife
0:41:15 > 0:41:17offence charges dropped despite concerns over
0:41:17 > 0:41:18his mental health.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21Now desperate for answers, Nadja will finally hear an inquest
0:41:21 > 0:41:23into whether there were failings in the system.
0:41:23 > 0:41:26But she's had a battle to ensure her concerns get heard
0:41:26 > 0:41:28in court - as Jayne McCubbin reports.
0:41:28 > 0:41:31there were three police officers standing in front of our door.I
0:41:31 > 0:41:35immediately noticed the homicide detective to the left. And then,
0:41:35 > 0:41:43this massive bomb and there was nothing.A man who was stabbed in
0:41:43 > 0:41:48Auckland this afternoon...Mentally all young man has admitted stabbing
0:41:48 > 0:41:57a university lecturer to death... This was the last photo taken of
0:41:57 > 0:42:05Nadja's husband, an hour before he was killed. 11 days after Fleur was
0:42:05 > 0:42:12born, she stepped outside to post the birth notices. He was stabbed
0:42:12 > 0:42:17metres from his front door.She knows other kids have dads.You try
0:42:17 > 0:42:24to talk to her?Every day. There are pictures all over the house. She
0:42:24 > 0:42:28just walks down the street and says the look, mummy, daddy is in my
0:42:28 > 0:42:33heart. Those are moments where your heart breaks. At the same time, he
0:42:33 > 0:42:43is with us.I think you've got it. Today, Femi Nandap is serving an
0:42:43 > 0:42:45indefinite sentence at Broadmoor Hospital for manslaughter but why
0:42:45 > 0:42:49were charges against him for an earlier knife offence dropped on the
0:42:49 > 0:42:55advice of the CPS six days before he killed? And why were serious
0:42:55 > 0:43:00concerns passed to police about his mental health never acted upon.
0:43:00 > 0:43:03These are questions Nadja hopes an inquest will answer but while the
0:43:03 > 0:43:07police and CPS will have legal representation at the inquest, paid
0:43:07 > 0:43:14far from the public purse, she has been refused legal aid.And without
0:43:14 > 0:43:19legal representation, I'd be able to get the answer is that we need. As
0:43:19 > 0:43:23it is not important enough, as if we don't count. We need to have the
0:43:23 > 0:43:28answers. We need to have the answers so this won't happen again.The Met
0:43:28 > 0:43:32told us while there was no misconduct, there had been areas of
0:43:32 > 0:43:36learning. The CPS admitted the case against the previous night offence
0:43:36 > 0:43:42should never have been discontinued. But while they have limitless
0:43:42 > 0:43:46resources to go into inquest this summer, Nadja is left to crowd fund
0:43:46 > 0:43:51to pay for legal representation. This is seen as an inequality of
0:43:51 > 0:43:56arms by many. The Ministry of Justice told us it is committed to
0:43:56 > 0:44:01reviewing the situation for breach families but that review is delayed.
0:44:01 > 0:44:06They have all the resources, we don't.You are relying on the
0:44:06 > 0:44:11kindness of strangers now.We do.So incredibly grateful for them and I
0:44:11 > 0:44:17feel everyone is behind us and they want the answer is as much as we do.
0:44:17 > 0:44:21With all this going on, I still believe in the goodness of people.
0:44:21 > 0:44:36Because it's out there.But I don't believe in the system.
0:44:36 > 0:44:40So many difficulties faced by Nadja and Jane will be here on the sofa to
0:44:40 > 0:44:45go through some of those issues raised by that particular case.
0:44:45 > 0:44:52Carol has the weather.
0:44:52 > 0:44:59It is a cold start to the day for most, and also a frosty one. It is
0:44:59 > 0:45:04-5 under clear skies in Katesbridge, in Northern Ireland, but if you have
0:45:04 > 0:45:07cloud, like the Outer Hebrides, the temperature at the moment is seven
0:45:07 > 0:45:12so quite a marked difference. Generally under those clear skies it
0:45:12 > 0:45:17is a cold and a frosty start through the day. We have a lot of cloud at
0:45:17 > 0:45:20the moment in parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland, obviously not
0:45:20 > 0:45:25where I mentioned, clear skies in Katesbridge, and in northern
0:45:25 > 0:45:28England, especially Northumberland. Through the day a weather front
0:45:28 > 0:45:32responsible for the cloud and patchy light rain and drizzle will continue
0:45:32 > 0:45:36to sink south, taking the cloud with it and turning the sunshine that bit
0:45:36 > 0:45:41hazy. First thing as well as being a cold start it will be a beautiful
0:45:41 > 0:45:46one in England and Wales, with sunshine, however our weather front
0:45:46 > 0:45:50sinking south bringing rain in Scotland and Northern Ireland, and
0:45:50 > 0:45:54as the cloud continues its journey south, we could see patchy light
0:45:54 > 0:45:58rain and drizzle in parts of England and Wales but certainly it will turn
0:45:58 > 0:46:03the sunshine hazier, hanging on to the sunshine for the longest in the
0:46:03 > 0:46:08far south-east. Temperature wise, we're looking at between seven and
0:46:08 > 0:46:1411, maybe 12 in Aberdeen, then later in the day as the front sinks south
0:46:14 > 0:46:18of the far north will brighten up. As we had through the evening and
0:46:18 > 0:46:23overnight, a fair bit of cloud around, still splashes of showery
0:46:23 > 0:46:28rain in the north-west and a few breaks -- as we head. This morning
0:46:28 > 0:46:32where we have the breaks we could see patchy mist and fog. But
0:46:32 > 0:46:38tomorrow morning there will be warmer temperatures. Today, freezing
0:46:38 > 0:46:43or below, tomorrow, we're not looking at any problems with frost.
0:46:43 > 0:46:48The only place we may see it is in south-west England and also Wales,
0:46:48 > 0:46:53but that should be it. Tomorrow we start with drizzly rain, possibly
0:46:53 > 0:46:57through Yorkshire, Lancashire and East Anglia and the south-east, that
0:46:57 > 0:47:01will clear and a lot of bright weather and fair amounts of sunshine
0:47:01 > 0:47:04but the cloud again building in from the west. We've got a more active
0:47:04 > 0:47:08weather front coming in from the Atlantic producing again heavier
0:47:08 > 0:47:12bouts of rain and strengthening winds. Look at the temperatures,
0:47:12 > 0:47:15we're looking at easily double figures in many parts of the
0:47:15 > 0:47:20country. By the time we get to Friday we will slowly lose the rain
0:47:20 > 0:47:24from Eastern counties of England and Scotland but it loops around and we
0:47:24 > 0:47:28see heavier rain in the north-west with hill snow. The other thing
0:47:28 > 0:47:33you'll notice is this band of rain in the south-west. Still a question
0:47:33 > 0:47:38as to its northern extent, still windy in the north, but temperature
0:47:38 > 0:47:41wise, still not too bad for this stage in France.
0:47:43 > 0:47:48Thanks very much, Carol, see you later.
0:47:48 > 0:47:52There are just two weeks to go before the deadline for Britain's
0:47:52 > 0:47:54biggest companies to submit figures showing their gender pay gap.
0:47:54 > 0:47:56Steph's here with more details.
0:47:56 > 0:48:02This is for companies for 250 employees or more and the companies
0:48:02 > 0:48:07that have these employees in the UK -- with. They need to publish the
0:48:07 > 0:48:11difference between what they pay men and women. Their average earnings.
0:48:11 > 0:48:19Lots of percentage figures are coming out on this.
0:48:19 > 0:48:21Of the companies that have
0:48:21 > 0:48:24submitted their data so far three quarters pay men more than women.
0:48:24 > 0:48:27Airlines reported some of the biggest pay gaps so far.
0:48:27 > 0:48:31For every pound a woman earns a Manuel are one point to of pounds.
0:48:31 > 0:48:44That's the UK figure. -- a Manuel turn £1.20. -- Emmanuel Eboue and.
0:48:46 > 0:48:49EasyJet were one of the worst,
0:48:49 > 0:48:51paying men 46% more than women.
0:48:51 > 0:48:54They say that's partly because most of their pilots are men,
0:48:54 > 0:48:54distorting the figures.
0:48:54 > 0:48:57Of the UK's biggest companies BT, Diageo
0:48:57 > 0:49:01and Unilever,
0:49:01 > 0:49:03the maker of brands like Marmite and Domestos,
0:49:03 > 0:49:11all paid women more than men about 1% more.
0:49:13 > 0:49:17Not a huge difference but women getting more with those companies.
0:49:17 > 0:49:23Sam Smethers is the chief executive of the Fawcett Society.
0:49:24 > 0:49:28There are some really quite considerable gaps between what women
0:49:28 > 0:49:32and men are turning in some of our household names around the country,
0:49:32 > 0:49:36and what that tells us is these organisations need to put an action
0:49:36 > 0:49:41plan in place so they can start to address the problem. We need to move
0:49:41 > 0:49:44from publishing the numbers to putting a plan in place and what we
0:49:44 > 0:49:48have to have is transparency in page because if we don't have
0:49:48 > 0:49:52transparency we can't have equality.
0:49:52 > 0:49:59This isn't the fault completely of companies, it is historical issue as
0:49:59 > 0:50:05well, women have often done jobs men don't want to do. This is a job from
0:50:05 > 0:50:08schools to boardrooms to make sure young people no matter their gender
0:50:08 > 0:50:13or background doesn't affect them getting the same opportunities.
0:50:13 > 0:50:16What's interesting is how information like that, seeing it,
0:50:16 > 0:50:21can dry change.It is. -- drive change.
0:50:21 > 0:50:25If you want to see all the figures published so far you can go
0:50:25 > 0:50:26to the BBC website.
0:50:26 > 0:50:30You can also type in the name of your company to see if they've
0:50:30 > 0:50:35submitted their pay gap.
0:50:35 > 0:50:37Thank you very much, see you later.
0:50:37 > 0:50:40Pressure is mounting on Facebook after revelations that the personal
0:50:40 > 0:50:43data of 50 million users has been harvested and sold
0:50:43 > 0:50:44to a British firm.
0:50:44 > 0:50:46It's alleged Cambridge Analytica used that data to target voters
0:50:46 > 0:50:48during the 2016 American election.
0:50:48 > 0:50:50In response, people have been deleting their accounts,
0:50:50 > 0:50:53but if you still want to use Facebook is there a way
0:50:53 > 0:50:55to guarantee your private data stays private?
0:50:55 > 0:51:03Dan Sodergren is a tech and marketing expert.
0:51:04 > 0:51:11Good morning.Good morning.So many people will be waking up this
0:51:11 > 0:51:15morning over the last few days while this has been going on thinking,
0:51:15 > 0:51:20what's happened to my data, do we know?We do know, there's a couple
0:51:20 > 0:51:24of things, we have to be careful when we say what's happened to their
0:51:24 > 0:51:29data. Number one this is in America with 50 million users and we have to
0:51:29 > 0:51:33be careful when we think of data breaches, a lot of people in tech
0:51:33 > 0:51:38will say data is the new oil but it's more, located than that. With
0:51:38 > 0:51:43oil you can move it around and it can be breached, what has happened
0:51:43 > 0:51:51is someone has made an app -- more complicated than that. It is e-mail
0:51:51 > 0:51:54addresses and things, it's more likely to be their psychological
0:51:54 > 0:51:59profile. The psycho graphics. We have to be careful, we're not saying
0:51:59 > 0:52:0550 million e-mails have been stolen, we don't know that's not the case
0:52:05 > 0:52:10either, but we know the psychological profiling, which Dan
0:52:10 > 0:52:14Sodergren -- Cambridge Analytica has used, it's not like oil you can
0:52:14 > 0:52:19take, it is like a gas. Human beings give off data, the clothes I wear
0:52:19 > 0:52:24and how I speak our datapoints. If you're on Facebook you give away
0:52:24 > 0:52:30this information all the time. Who you like and what you listen to is
0:52:30 > 0:52:35all about where the money is.You are on Facebook and you saw a
0:52:35 > 0:52:39third-party app saying would you like to take this quiz or IQ test
0:52:39 > 0:52:43and via you put in your information in about your friends and what you
0:52:43 > 0:52:47like and what you think of a certain situation, that can be used to tell
0:52:47 > 0:52:52Facebook and others...It's not Facebook, we have to be careful, it
0:52:52 > 0:52:57isn't Facebook looking at this. Facebook is worth billions of pounds
0:52:57 > 0:53:03and makes between 40... $4 and $40 per user and it has 2 billion users,
0:53:03 > 0:53:07so a lot of money from the data and the ability to sell this to
0:53:07 > 0:53:10advertisers. If you're not buying a product online then you are the
0:53:10 > 0:53:14product, you are basically being sold because your data and the
0:53:14 > 0:53:19information Facebook has about you, and Google and Amazon, not just
0:53:19 > 0:53:26Facebook, the micro- targeting they can do is gold for marketeers. It is
0:53:26 > 0:53:29like the democratisation of advertising, it's amazing what you
0:53:29 > 0:53:33can do. But you can use that never variously unfortunately and what
0:53:33 > 0:53:39Cambridge Analytica have done is use this particularly -- the variously.
0:53:39 > 0:53:43From the point of view of users, should this make you think about
0:53:43 > 0:53:49certain things and what might you want to change?You are saying that,
0:53:49 > 0:53:54look at the apps you have and the personality tests you have done ages
0:53:54 > 0:54:00ago.You wouldn't even remember, though.You wouldn't remember, no,
0:54:00 > 0:54:05the kind of Pokemon Go character you might be. Define the information and
0:54:05 > 0:54:13it's not about the Pokemon Go character that they find. -- they
0:54:13 > 0:54:17find. They look at your friends results and your friends of friends
0:54:17 > 0:54:21results and they can then look at the information they have on you and
0:54:21 > 0:54:26this is called data mining. This is worth billions. Check your apps. If
0:54:26 > 0:54:30you haven't already check your personal settings, is it always on
0:54:30 > 0:54:34public. Then check to your friends with because if you're not really
0:54:34 > 0:54:40friends with them, do you need 1000 friends? -- check who your friends
0:54:40 > 0:54:46with.You can pay a
0:54:47 > 0:54:50with.You can pay a company to protect you?You can then download
0:54:50 > 0:54:55your data to give to advertisers. There's been a Thames to do this
0:54:55 > 0:54:59where you create social media where you pay per play -- there's been
0:54:59 > 0:55:06attempts. There's a lot of other tech companies. Let's not throw the
0:55:06 > 0:55:10baby out with the bathwater. There's another good tech companies that
0:55:10 > 0:55:15aren't selling your data.People share so much, what about generous
0:55:15 > 0:55:24sharing?Generous or over sharing. It says get Rich or try sharing on a
0:55:24 > 0:55:28T-shirt I have. We are getting Facebook very rich by over sharing.
0:55:28 > 0:55:32If you're sharing pictures, they have algorithms that know where your
0:55:32 > 0:55:36face is and your facial like ignition software. If you're doing
0:55:36 > 0:55:40that for your friends then we might be over sharing photos too much,
0:55:40 > 0:55:44which is why Facebook bought Instagram, they also bought
0:55:44 > 0:55:47WhatsApp. If you're talking about stuff on WhatsApp then other people
0:55:47 > 0:55:53can't see that but does that mean Facebook can't?Simony questions.A
0:55:53 > 0:55:58whole new world.Regulation -- so many questions.Regulation is going
0:55:58 > 0:56:03to be key, we have to turn it from the wild West to manageable for
0:56:03 > 0:56:07society but we have to be digitally mindful about what we're doing.
0:56:07 > 0:56:14Plenty to think about this morning.
0:56:14 > 0:56:17Now, you might remember when Maya, the ten week old jaguar,
0:56:17 > 0:56:23came to the studio.
0:56:23 > 0:56:24What a beautiful animal.
0:56:24 > 0:56:27Unfortunately she's now too big to come back,
0:56:27 > 0:56:30but we'll catch up with how she's doing and how fast she's growing.
0:56:30 > 0:56:35That's after 9am.
0:56:35 > 0:56:43That's ahead of a new BBC Two series called Big Cats in the House.
0:56:43 > 0:56:47Slightly disappointed she is too big but it is probably a good idea,
0:56:47 > 0:56:47could be carnage!
0:56:47 > 1:00:07Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:00:07 > 1:00:10Bye for now.
1:00:45 > 1:00:47Hello this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin
1:00:47 > 1:00:51A pay rise for more than a million NHS staff
1:00:51 > 1:00:54Nurses, porters and paramedics are among those expected to be
1:00:54 > 1:01:02offered wage increases of around 6% over 3 years.
1:01:19 > 1:01:22New claims that personal data from Facebook was used by a British
1:01:22 > 1:01:24firm to influence the American presidential election -
1:01:24 > 1:01:28the academic at the centre of the row tells the BBC he's been
1:01:28 > 1:01:36made a scapegoat.
1:01:36 > 1:01:41Honestly, we thought we were acting perfectly appropriately. We thought
1:01:41 > 1:01:42we were doing something normal.
1:01:42 > 1:01:45An investgation begins into the cause of a Red Arrows jet
1:01:45 > 1:01:48crash which killed an engineer and left the pilot injured.
1:01:48 > 1:01:51The Church of England will start taking contactless payments
1:01:51 > 1:01:54at thousands of churches and cathedrals across the country.
1:01:54 > 1:01:57I'll have more later.
1:01:57 > 1:01:58In sport, it's friendlies week for England.
1:01:58 > 1:02:03And its the clash of the keepers - 4 candidates go to head to head
1:02:03 > 1:02:06to be the first choice at this summer's World Cup in Russia.
1:02:06 > 1:02:09And Carol has the weather.
1:02:09 > 1:02:14Good morning. It's a cold and frosty start today for many of us but for
1:02:14 > 1:02:20England and Wales, sunny one. Cloud is building in from the north-west,
1:02:20 > 1:02:23turning the sunshine hazy. A bit more cloud of youth and Northern
1:02:23 > 1:02:32Ireland. More details on 15 minutes.
1:02:32 > 1:02:36More than a million NHS staff are poised for a pay rise -
1:02:36 > 1:02:40with a deal that could be worth as much as 4 billion pounds
1:02:40 > 1:02:41being announced by lunch time today.
1:02:41 > 1:02:43The BBC understands that health bosses and unions
1:02:43 > 1:02:45have reached an agreement that will mark
1:02:45 > 1:02:47an end to a 7-year cap and boost
1:02:47 > 1:02:50the salaries of workers including nurses, porters and paramedics
1:02:50 > 1:02:51but not doctors.
1:02:51 > 1:02:56Our political correspondent Iain Watson is in Westminster.
1:02:56 > 1:03:02It sounds like a lot of money. How meaningful is this for people?It
1:03:02 > 1:03:06will mean different things to different people. When the police
1:03:06 > 1:03:10and prison officers were given an increase above the pay, the public
1:03:10 > 1:03:15sector pay was lifted so there is pressure on the government to try
1:03:15 > 1:03:19and give other public service workers and increase as well. This
1:03:19 > 1:03:24will be a significant departure from what has been eight years of pay
1:03:24 > 1:03:29restraint, increases averaging around 1%. Now we are told that on
1:03:29 > 1:03:34average, in the NHS, what work is likely to be getting over the next
1:03:34 > 1:03:41three years is a pay increase of six, six .5% on average. But
1:03:41 > 1:03:44significantly, those amongst the lowest paid will get much bigger
1:03:44 > 1:03:52increases. At its greatest, that could see an uplift to some staff of
1:03:52 > 1:03:5830% over the next three years. Sober example, hospital porters that start
1:03:58 > 1:04:04at around £15,000 or is cleaning staff could see their salaries go up
1:04:04 > 1:04:10to around £19,000 per year by the end of this period. This is going to
1:04:10 > 1:04:14be phased in over the next three years. On average, that 6% figure is
1:04:14 > 1:04:18beneath the current rate of inflation. If you take it over a
1:04:18 > 1:04:22three-year period. Lots of people will be making their own individual
1:04:22 > 1:04:27decisions about how much they will benefit. Nonetheless, from the
1:04:27 > 1:04:30government's point of view, a significant investment. What the
1:04:30 > 1:04:35unions have been asking for is a guarantee that this money will will
1:04:35 > 1:04:39be additional funding, not from elsewhere in the health service. My
1:04:39 > 1:04:43understanding is that it will be the case although what they are asking
1:04:43 > 1:04:47for is some changes to the annual increments people might get on our
1:04:47 > 1:04:52pay and Nelson to bring the levels of sick leave in the NHS down. Some
1:04:52 > 1:05:03of the suggestions have been kicking around.
1:05:15 > 1:05:17Facebook will be questioned by politicians in Washington today -
1:05:17 > 1:05:21as the company comes under growing pressure to explain how data from 50
1:05:21 > 1:05:23million accounts was used by a British Company
1:05:23 > 1:05:24during the US presidential election.

1:06:20 > 1:06:23for this purpose.
1:06:23 > 1:06:27It said Mr Nix's comments do to not represent the values of the firm.

1:06:36 > 1:06:38that he has been targeted.
1:06:38 > 1:06:46I have been used as a scapegoat by Cambridge Analytica.
1:06:47 > 1:06:53We thought we were acting perfectly appropriately,
1:06:53 > 1:06:55we thought we were doing something normal.

1:07:32 > 1:07:36The engineer was killed when a Hawk jet came down near the RAF Valley

1:07:37 > 1:07:39The pilot who is injured and receiving medical care
1:07:39 > 1:07:40managed to eject.
1:07:40 > 1:07:48The jet came down shortly after taking off on a routine flight.
1:07:56 > 1:08:03You can still see police cars. The investigation could come yesterday
1:08:03 > 1:08:12and continue this morning. Certainly I reported that as the plane left
1:08:12 > 1:08:18the Valley on the way back to Lincolnshire, it seems to have first
1:08:18 > 1:08:23looped back towards the base is that it needed to go back and make a
1:08:23 > 1:08:27landing and it also seemed to wobble as it came in towards the ground. We
1:08:27 > 1:08:37don't know whether the wobbling was due to fall.
1:08:37 > 1:08:43due to fall. As seen before, the RAF has asked for a period of grace
1:08:43 > 1:08:52before it reveals any more details. The crash shows the risks that
1:08:52 > 1:09:06service people take on a daily basis and the service of their country.
1:09:07 > 1:09:11Britain could be sleepwalking into a crisis. The Home Affairs Committee
1:09:11 > 1:09:16says it is down to the complexity of issues like datasharing, European
1:09:16 > 1:09:19Arrest Warrants and Europol membership. It could mean the
1:09:19 > 1:09:31recently agreed transition period needs to be extended.
1:09:31 > 1:09:35Membership of the EU means the UK enjoys access to valuable police
1:09:35 > 1:09:37data bases, the European Arrest Warrant scheme
1:09:37 > 1:09:45and the services of Europol.
1:09:45 > 1:09:48The government says it is optimistic about negotiating just as good
1:09:48 > 1:09:51a deal for when we leave, but after taking evidence
1:09:51 > 1:09:57from people from the National Crime Agency and other
1:09:57 > 1:09:59organisations which relying on EU security corporation,
1:09:59 > 1:10:02an all-party committee of MPs says it does not share that optimism.
1:10:02 > 1:10:05We are worried that a security treaty will not be signed
1:10:05 > 1:10:08and implemented in time for when the transition period ends
1:10:08 > 1:10:10and that could leave us without proper extradition
1:10:10 > 1:10:12arrangements if people flee justice and flee from crimes,
1:10:12 > 1:10:16but also without access to criminal data that the police properly need.
1:10:16 > 1:10:19Access to EU-wide data systems and the resources of Europol depend
1:10:19 > 1:10:21on legal obligations underpinned by the European Court of Justice.
1:10:21 > 1:10:24The UK has said being outside the European courts jurisdiction
1:10:24 > 1:10:25is a red line,
1:10:25 > 1:10:29but the MPs say the government should not be too rigid on such
1:10:29 > 1:10:31matters if it wants to get a good deal.
1:10:31 > 1:10:34And they reckon the complex technical and legal issues
1:10:34 > 1:10:37mean both sides need to be ready to extend the two-year transition
1:10:37 > 1:10:38before Brexit kicks in.

1:10:52 > 1:10:55in the Texan city of Austin - the latest in a series
1:10:55 > 1:10:56of similar attacks.
1:10:56 > 1:10:58Five similar devices have detonated so far this month
1:10:58 > 1:11:00and killed two people.
1:11:00 > 1:11:02A sixth parcel bomb was intercepted before it exploded.

1:11:29 > 1:11:32pictures there. Close-up photos of shown parts of the house is starting

1:11:46 > 1:11:49Vulnerable mental health patients are being let down because of the
1:11:49 > 1:11:53treatments. A new report out today identifies a number of issues with
1:11:53 > 1:11:56some mental health trusts that could lead to patients suffering distress,
1:11:56 > 1:12:01harm or even dying. Richard West joins us, his son David died after
1:12:01 > 1:12:06being released from a mental health unit without a plan in place and a
1:12:06 > 1:12:16robber barons as the health ombudsman. I want to talk you first.
1:12:16 > 1:12:23-- Rob Behrens. What are your conclusions, Richard?Thank you for
1:12:23 > 1:12:31inviting me. My son died in October 20 13. He was released and they
1:12:31 > 1:12:38didn't consider any statutory duties that they had under section 117 of
1:12:38 > 1:12:42the Mental Health Act to look at his situation before they released him.
1:12:42 > 1:12:46They should have looked at his housing, where he was going to go,
1:12:46 > 1:12:55what he was going to do. That is unfortunately what did happen.Do
1:12:55 > 1:12:58you feel that if things had been done differently, this might have
1:12:58 > 1:13:03had a different ending?I think they should have supported him and that
1:13:03 > 1:13:08would have made a significant difference but they didn't.The
1:13:08 > 1:13:13report is pretty damning of health service trusts. Why our mental
1:13:13 > 1:13:21health patients being let down? The report brings to light a number of
1:13:21 > 1:13:26cases like the ones we have seen. It needs to be emphasised that that is
1:13:26 > 1:13:31not the generality of mental healthcare. We are talking about a
1:13:31 > 1:13:40small but Berry significant case that goes wrong. Result of the
1:13:40 > 1:13:46failure by the trusts to diagnose properly to communicate with
1:13:46 > 1:13:53patience and crucially, and this is absolutely
1:13:54 > 1:13:57absolutely fundamental, to respect the human rights and dignity of
1:13:57 > 1:14:02patients. The NHS Constitution makes clear that should be at the heart of
1:14:02 > 1:14:07everything in the NHS does. The reports are two years old and the
1:14:07 > 1:14:14government has prioritised mental-health.
1:14:14 > 1:14:20mental-health.We have looked at a 2- year period. We can't say whether
1:14:20 > 1:14:25the strategy is making a difference. We'll be looking at that in terms of
1:14:25 > 1:14:33cases reporting again. The cases we looked at will be reviewed over the
1:14:33 > 1:14:45last two years. 200 cases like the one that Mr West has just described.
1:14:45 > 1:14:50Unacceptable and today's health service.I wanted to ask you the
1:14:50 > 1:14:58same question. Is there a particular problem with mental health patients?
1:14:59 > 1:15:00Mental health services have
1:15:00 > 1:15:02Mental health services have immensely challenging tasks to
1:15:02 > 1:15:08undertake. I've visited a number of mental health trusts and hospitals
1:15:08 > 1:15:13and seen the care and in many respects it is excellent, but they
1:15:13 > 1:15:16are dealing with very difficult situations with people in crisis who
1:15:16 > 1:15:26are vulnerable and there is a threat of violence to staff. Where people
1:15:26 > 1:15:31are detained there is the constant threat of drugs being brought in and
1:15:31 > 1:15:37misused, and it's very challenging for the staff who look after mental
1:15:37 > 1:15:41health patients, particularly where you have 10% vacancies.Richard,
1:15:41 > 1:15:46shall I put that question to you as well? Is there a particular problem
1:15:46 > 1:15:49from what you've seen with mental health patients?
1:15:49 > 1:15:53I think they're not treated as fairly as ordinary physical health
1:15:53 > 1:15:59problems and in the case of my son there were multiple failings. If you
1:15:59 > 1:16:03look at the situation now, he died five years ago, if you look at the
1:16:03 > 1:16:08situation today, they use quite a lot of out of area is dead in this
1:16:08 > 1:16:12region which is costing up to £5 million over the last financial year
1:16:12 > 1:16:18-- out of areas bed. That puts a strain on the patients
1:16:18 > 1:16:23travelling. It puts strain on the relations seeing them and it puts
1:16:23 > 1:16:27strain on the community. We want more community support and help to
1:16:27 > 1:16:29get them well against white Richard, thank you.
1:16:29 > 1:16:34Rob, do you welcome the news, which is our main story today, about the
1:16:34 > 1:16:41pay increases at the NHS announced at midday?I don't want to comment
1:16:41 > 1:16:48on that, I'm the ombudsman. That's not my responsibility but the
1:16:48 > 1:16:52five-year plan and the strategy going forward means staffing issues
1:16:52 > 1:16:56and vacancy issues need to be addressed, and the issue of using
1:16:56 > 1:17:00agency staff and double shifts has to be addressed and in that context
1:17:00 > 1:17:05it is significant that pay award has been made.Thanks for your time this
1:17:05 > 1:17:10morning.
1:17:12 > 1:17:16morning. The chief executive of Southern health have said I am sorry
1:17:16 > 1:17:21about the mistakes and I accept our failure for not looking after him
1:17:21 > 1:17:22better.
1:17:22 > 1:17:27It's been a chilly start this morning, let's look at the weather
1:17:27 > 1:17:28with Carol.
1:17:28 > 1:17:33It's a chilly start for many areas. If you're in Katesbridge in Northern
1:17:33 > 1:17:37Ireland, that's the lowest temperature, along with Topcliffe in
1:17:37 > 1:17:43North Yorkshire, -5. That's where we have clear skies but under the cloud
1:17:43 > 1:17:46in the Outer Hebrides, Harris is currently sitting at seven so a real
1:17:46 > 1:17:51difference. You can see on the satellite picture where we have the
1:17:51 > 1:17:59cloud. The cloud is mainly in Scotland and Northern Ireland and
1:17:59 > 1:18:03Northumberland. As we go through the day the front reducing the cloud
1:18:03 > 1:18:07will continue to go steadily south, eradicating the bright blue skies we
1:18:07 > 1:18:11currently have in parts of England and Wales and turning the sunshine
1:18:11 > 1:18:17hazy. As it comes in where looking at some rain, the rain mostly light
1:18:17 > 1:18:21and patchy, drizzly here and there, not everyone seeing it but it will
1:18:21 > 1:18:25move across Northern Ireland and parts of Scotland -- we're looking
1:18:25 > 1:18:31at. Sinking south in England and Wales. We could see patchy light
1:18:31 > 1:18:34rain and drizzle here but we won't all see it Stoppila Sunzu I'm
1:18:34 > 1:18:38hanging on for the longest in the far south-east of England and
1:18:38 > 1:18:42temperatures not in bad shape, between seven and 11, possibly 12 in
1:18:42 > 1:18:49Aberdeen -- seeing it. Sunshine hanging on. The sunshine sinks
1:18:49 > 1:18:54south. Showery outbreaks of rain in north-west Scotland. Where the cloud
1:18:54 > 1:18:59breaks, especially in southern areas, we could see some patchy mist
1:18:59 > 1:19:02and fog forming, like in the morning. Temperature wise it's
1:19:02 > 1:19:08different to what we currently have, not as cold tomorrow morning. At the
1:19:08 > 1:19:12moment we have temperature is widely freezing or below, tomorrow that
1:19:12 > 1:19:16won't be the case. We start tomorrow with the remnants of today's front
1:19:16 > 1:19:21in parts of eastern England, the south-east and East Anglia --
1:19:21 > 1:19:27temperatures widely. Increasingly the sunshine turning hazy from the
1:19:27 > 1:19:31west as a new weather front comes our way. The cloud ahead of the
1:19:31 > 1:19:34weather front building and we have a more organised band of rain coming
1:19:34 > 1:19:40into the west and some of that will be heavy, possibly with snow on the
1:19:40 > 1:19:44highest ground in Scotland. Temperatures away from that not bad,
1:19:44 > 1:19:5312, 11 quite widely in the UK. As we head on into Friday, that system
1:19:53 > 1:19:56pushes into eastern areas, eventually clearing, but if you
1:19:56 > 1:20:00follow it around it's the wraparound around an area of low pressure and
1:20:00 > 1:20:04we have more rain coming into the north-west with hill snow. At the
1:20:04 > 1:20:09same time we have more rain coming in across the south-west. The
1:20:09 > 1:20:13northern extent of the rain is open to question but quite a windy day,
1:20:13 > 1:20:16particularly in the north, away from those bands of rain we have hazy
1:20:16 > 1:20:23sunshine with highs of up to 11. It's a while since we have heard
1:20:23 > 1:20:24about highs like that.
1:20:25 > 1:20:32Let's look at some of the front pages. Let's start with the Times,
1:20:32 > 1:20:36British day firm offered £1 million bribe to turn election, this is
1:20:36 > 1:20:40Cambridge Analytica, the front page of many of the papers this morning.
1:20:40 > 1:20:43A picture of Alexander Nix, suspended last night by Cambridge
1:20:43 > 1:20:51Analytica as Jeep executive. Different takes on the macro and
1:20:51 > 1:20:55Facebook story, this is from the Guardian, they have looked at the
1:20:55 > 1:20:59Channel 4 investigation which has revealed the different bits of
1:20:59 > 1:21:03information, day firm breaking of a role in Trump victory. This is a
1:21:03 > 1:21:07picture of expelled diplomats and their families outside the embassy
1:21:07 > 1:21:19in London before they went to Heathrow to be flown home.
1:21:19 > 1:21:25Heathrow to be flown home. -- data firm breaking. -- bragging. We're
1:21:25 > 1:21:30talking about the NHS and those pay rises, at least for some in the NHS
1:21:30 > 1:21:35today. This is a different part of that, a blueprint to transform care
1:21:35 > 1:21:40for the elderly unveiled yesterday by Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt
1:21:40 > 1:21:44saying they were too often treated as tasks are made to do list by a
1:21:44 > 1:21:51rotating cast of helpers. This is a picture Steph highlighted this
1:21:51 > 1:21:56morning, incredible, a sparrowhawk versus a Starling. The guy who took
1:21:56 > 1:21:59this, Terry Stevenson, said he didn't see whether the Starling
1:21:59 > 1:22:04survived. They were disturbed by a pedestrian, they went under a bush,
1:22:04 > 1:22:08but lots of people are looking at sparrowhawks doing things similar to
1:22:08 > 1:22:13other birds.We don't know if the Starling got away.We don't know.
1:22:13 > 1:22:18But look at the eyes.Terrifying. There's quite a lot of chat about
1:22:18 > 1:22:23wedding cakes this morning because Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have
1:22:23 > 1:22:27abandoned the old favourite, fruitcake, and they're going to have
1:22:27 > 1:22:32an organically sourced lemon and elderflower creation, which is
1:22:32 > 1:22:37unusual, I've never had that before. Lots of the papers going with
1:22:37 > 1:22:41pictures of previous royal wedding cakes. Look at these, the intricacy
1:22:41 > 1:22:45and the artwork and the skills involved are just absolutely
1:22:45 > 1:22:50staggering.Can we talk about socks later? There's one other story I
1:22:50 > 1:22:54want to talk about, the banning of socks.Excellent.
1:22:54 > 1:22:56It's nine months since the Grenfell Tower fire.
1:22:56 > 1:22:58Today, preliminary hearings into the tragedy continue
1:22:58 > 1:23:00before the main inquiry begins in May.
1:23:00 > 1:23:03The cladding on the tower has been pinpointed as a reason the blaze
1:23:03 > 1:23:06spread so quickly, and it forced local authorities across the UK
1:23:06 > 1:23:08to test cladding on similar properties.
1:23:08 > 1:23:10301 buildings didn't meet current building regulations
1:23:10 > 1:23:12and Salford was one of the local authorities
1:23:12 > 1:23:13with the highest failure rate.
1:23:13 > 1:23:16Breakfast's Graham Satchell has been to meet some residents waiting
1:23:16 > 1:23:21for cladding to be removed.
1:23:21 > 1:23:24Nine months after the fire at Grenfell Tower, the cladding
1:23:24 > 1:23:32on Thorn Court in Salford is still in place.
1:23:36 > 1:23:39We first filmed here in August last year.
1:23:39 > 1:23:42This is our lives that they are messing about with,
1:23:42 > 1:23:44and we are potentially living in a death trap,
1:23:44 > 1:23:48all of us.
1:23:48 > 1:23:51It's failed all the tests, so no matter what
1:23:51 > 1:23:58they say, you feel uneasy now.
1:23:58 > 1:24:03Today the residents remain angry, frustrated, afraid.
1:24:03 > 1:24:10A lot of people are quite frightened because if you
1:24:10 > 1:24:14look out of your window, you see smoke, and you see a fire
1:24:14 > 1:24:15creeping up the building...
1:24:15 > 1:24:19You feel as if you're in a melting pot, you know?
1:24:19 > 1:24:20Do you think the council is taking this seriously?
1:24:20 > 1:24:23No, because if they were they'd have started work
1:24:23 > 1:24:26on this by now.
1:24:26 > 1:24:34In the days after the fire at Grenfell every tower
1:24:35 > 1:24:37block in the country over 18 metres was checked.
1:24:37 > 1:24:40The latest government figures show in all 301 buildings
1:24:40 > 1:24:48have the same type of cladding as Grenfell Tower, 13 are public
1:24:49 > 1:24:52buildings like schools and hospitals, 130 are private
1:24:52 > 1:24:55blocks and 158 are council blocks, of those only seven have
1:24:55 > 1:24:55completed their refurbishment.
1:24:55 > 1:24:59So why is there such a delay in getting this urgent work done?
1:24:59 > 1:25:00Well, each case is complicated.
1:25:00 > 1:25:02In privately-owned blocks there are legal rows
1:25:02 > 1:25:03between the freeholders
1:25:03 > 1:25:06and residents about who should pay for the work to be done.
1:25:06 > 1:25:11Thorn Court is owned by Salford City Council
1:25:11 > 1:25:17but it's run on their behalf by a private finance
1:25:17 > 1:25:19initiative by Pendleton Together
1:25:19 > 1:25:21and again there's a row between those two
1:25:21 > 1:25:24about who should pay for the cladding to be removed.
1:25:24 > 1:25:26Do you think it's acceptable that we are nine months
1:25:26 > 1:25:30after the fire at Grenfell Tower and as far as they're concerned
1:25:30 > 1:25:31virtually nothing has been done?
1:25:31 > 1:25:33I'm not sure which residents you've been
1:25:33 > 1:25:36speaking to, would they deny that there are fire marshals
1:25:36 > 1:25:37in place at the moment?
1:25:37 > 1:25:40Would they deny we've taken steps in terms of the fire remand?
1:25:40 > 1:25:43The cladding is still in place. The cladding is flammable.
1:25:43 > 1:25:45The cladding is not in place on the bottom
1:25:45 > 1:25:48levels, we've covered it with concrete in order
1:25:48 > 1:25:49to make it inert.
1:25:49 > 1:25:51Just let me finish... How long is this taking?
1:25:51 > 1:25:55We've had to do the test and find the safest system we can
1:25:55 > 1:25:58possibly find for their benefit, and that's exactly what we're doing.
1:25:58 > 1:26:00Salford Council has borrowed £25 million to replace the cladding
1:26:00 > 1:26:08on nine tower blocks.
1:26:10 > 1:26:13It says work will start in the spring and could take
1:26:13 > 1:26:16two years to complete.
1:26:16 > 1:26:18The government insists whoever owns the building should pay
1:26:18 > 1:26:19for the work.
1:26:19 > 1:26:21Local councils say central government should help.
1:26:21 > 1:26:26Who eventually pays is anyone's guess.
1:26:26 > 1:26:27Residents just want action.
1:26:27 > 1:26:31Do you feel safe? No, I don't.
1:26:31 > 1:26:34Stop making people live in fear in these blocks.
1:26:34 > 1:26:37We're not talking about a dozen or so, we're talking about hundreds
1:26:37 > 1:26:43of people on this estate.
1:26:43 > 1:26:45And across the country, thousands of residents
1:26:45 > 1:26:49are still living in tower blocks with cladding deemed a fire risk.
1:26:49 > 1:26:56Graham Satchell, BBC News, Salford.
1:26:56 > 1:26:57Still an incredible story.
1:26:57 > 1:27:01The Grenfell Inquiry's main hearings are due to begin in May.
1:27:01 > 1:27:04Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
1:30:26 > 1:30:28Now, though, it's back to Dan and Louise.
1:30:28 > 1:30:29Bye for now.
1:30:36 > 1:30:37Hello.
1:30:37 > 1:30:40This is Breakfast.
1:30:40 > 1:30:45More than a million NHS staff are poised for a pay rise -
1:30:45 > 1:30:48with a deal that could be worth as much as £4 billion
1:30:48 > 1:30:51being announced by the government at lunch time today.
1:30:51 > 1:30:53The BBC understands that health bosses and unions
1:30:53 > 1:30:55have reached an agreement that will mark
1:30:55 > 1:30:57an end to a 7-year-cap and boost
1:30:57 > 1:30:59the salaries of workers including nurses, porters and paramedics -
1:30:59 > 1:31:07but not doctors.
1:31:09 > 1:31:14Earlier, the help of months and told Breakfast he welcomed that news.
1:31:14 > 1:31:18What I do know is that the 5- year plan, the strategy going forward
1:31:18 > 1:31:23means that staffing issues have to be addressed, vacancies have to be
1:31:23 > 1:31:27addressed, the whole issue of using agency staff and double shifts as to
1:31:27 > 1:31:33be addressed is and that context, it is significant that that pay award
1:31:33 > 1:31:35has been made.
1:31:35 > 1:31:37Facebook will be questioned by politicians in Washington today -
1:31:37 > 1:31:41as the company comes under growing pressure to explain how data from 50
1:31:41 > 1:31:44million users was used by a British Company during the US
1:31:44 > 1:31:44presidential election.
1:31:44 > 1:31:47It's alleged that Cambridge Analytica used the data to target
1:31:47 > 1:31:49voters and influence the election outcome.
1:31:49 > 1:31:51That company's chief executive, Alexander Nix, has been suspended.
1:31:51 > 1:31:59Both firms deny any wrongdoing.
1:32:09 > 1:32:14An engineer in the red arrows a group was killed when a plane came
1:32:14 > 1:32:18down.The pilot is receiving medical care and managed to jack on the
1:32:18 > 1:32:23plane. The jet came down shortly after taking off on a routine flight
1:32:23 > 1:32:27but there are no tea -- details about the cause of the crash.
1:32:27 > 1:32:29A group of MPs is warning of government complacency
1:32:29 > 1:32:30when it
1:32:30 > 1:32:32comes to security co-operation with the EU after Brexit.
1:32:32 > 1:32:34The all-party Home Affairs Committee says
1:32:34 > 1:32:37the transition period which has recently been agreed may need to be
1:32:37 > 1:32:40extended if public safety is not to be compromised.
1:32:40 > 1:32:43They say it's down to the complexity of issues such as data sharing,
1:32:43 > 1:32:50the European Arrest Warrant and Europol membership.
1:32:50 > 1:32:53The government could face an additional bill of £300 million
1:32:53 > 1:32:54after underpaying benefit claims.
1:32:54 > 1:32:56The shortfall in the Employment and Support
1:32:56 > 1:33:00allowance payment, the main sickness handout, was predicted to cost
1:33:00 > 1:33:01the government £500 million.
1:33:01 > 1:33:05But the National Audit Office says the true cost could be
1:33:05 > 1:33:05as £830 million.
1:33:05 > 1:33:08Ministers say they're committed to correcting the mistakes
1:33:08 > 1:33:12and are aiming to repay everybody by April 2019.
1:33:12 > 1:33:15We think what this highlights is the need for the Department
1:33:15 > 1:33:17to take underpayments very seriously indeed and hopefully department
1:33:17 > 1:33:23will learn from this episode about the need to do root cause
1:33:23 > 1:33:26analysis and properly understand why they are fighting problems and take
1:33:26 > 1:33:29actions to make sure they take a systematic approach to make sure
1:33:29 > 1:33:33people are paid exactly what they are entitled to.
1:33:33 > 1:33:36President Trump is rumoured to have ignored warnings from his advisers
1:33:36 > 1:33:38not to congratulate Vladimir Putin on his re-election.
1:33:38 > 1:33:46Mr Trump went against his advisers and was given a briefing note
1:33:47 > 1:33:55with the words, "Do not congratulate" in capital letters.
1:33:56 > 1:34:00It's been a 25-year wait - but later today the first polar bear
1:34:00 > 1:34:02born in the UK for over two decades public from today.
1:34:02 > 1:34:05Born in December it has yet to be named as keepers
1:34:05 > 1:34:07try to determine its sex.
1:34:07 > 1:34:10The cub has spent the last four months in the maternity den
1:34:10 > 1:34:13with its mother Victoria at the Royal Zoological Society's
1:34:13 > 1:34:21Highland Wildlife Park in Scotland.
1:34:25 > 1:34:33He had done some research about this. I was researching about how
1:34:33 > 1:34:39you sex a polar bear. They can't determine if it is Mail or female.
1:34:39 > 1:34:43There is a level of anatomical detail. There is a lot of in the
1:34:43 > 1:34:49area where you would need to investigate. Therefore, it's hard to
1:34:49 > 1:34:56find out whether it is or female.A very long hairy area is the correct
1:34:56 > 1:35:02term. Wait for it, a slightly more reliable but still visual way to
1:35:02 > 1:35:10determine the sex of a polar bear is to watch if your innate.
1:35:10 > 1:35:13to watch if your innate.If you watch a polar bear wee and it comes
1:35:13 > 1:35:22out further up the body, then you can determine it. It comes out bit
1:35:22 > 1:35:33further down, then you know you have one.
1:35:33 > 1:35:41one.How do you know of a polar bear is Mail or female? I will send you a
1:35:41 > 1:35:49printout.There is already too much information there for me.
1:35:49 > 1:35:53information there for me.We are talking about the quest to become
1:35:53 > 1:35:57the first goalkeeper for England. Yet the strictly final, the X Factor
1:35:57 > 1:36:02final.
1:36:02 > 1:36:07I have come this far and I would be gutted to miss out at this stage.
1:36:07 > 1:36:13It's all of them saying, I wanted to be me. I really were tied to this.
1:36:13 > 1:36:19Normally, there is a standout first choice. Now there is this new
1:36:19 > 1:36:23tranche of goalkeepers coming through. It must be a good thing for
1:36:23 > 1:36:34English football. That seems to be the case ahead of the World Cup.
1:36:34 > 1:36:36the case ahead of the World Cup. The squad preparing for an international
1:36:36 > 1:36:37friendly double against the Netherlands.
1:36:37 > 1:36:40Joe Hart, Jordan Pickford and Nick Pope are all competing
1:36:40 > 1:36:41for that spot in net.
1:36:41 > 1:36:45Hart has 75 caps for England, but says he's hungrier than ever
1:36:45 > 1:36:47to be the first-choice.
1:36:47 > 1:36:49It's obvious he going to mean everything.
1:36:49 > 1:36:52So many people who have the same feeling as me and we are all
1:36:52 > 1:36:56fighting in pushing in the same direction to be a part of it
1:36:56 > 1:36:59and we will see that at the moment, you got
1:36:59 > 1:37:02to live in the present and a hold on to the most important game.
1:37:02 > 1:37:06So Hart wants the Number 1 shirt, but so does new-boy Nick Pope,
1:37:06 > 1:37:09whose performances for Burnley this season have seen many tip him
1:37:09 > 1:37:10as a future first-choice.
1:37:10 > 1:37:12It's been an incredible journey for the 25-year-old,
1:37:12 > 1:37:14who used to be a milkman.
1:37:14 > 1:37:17One of the journalists in his press conference couldn't resist asking
1:37:17 > 1:37:23on his milk run.
1:37:23 > 1:37:24No, I was clean.
1:37:24 > 1:37:25On the float, Electric.
1:37:25 > 1:37:28What's the best thing about being an England player?
1:37:28 > 1:37:30Can I call myself that if I've not played?
1:37:30 > 1:37:32OK.
1:37:32 > 1:37:33I think it's just the honour.
1:37:33 > 1:37:37The moment from Thursday to be around people who have been
1:37:37 > 1:37:38there from the start.
1:37:38 > 1:37:40People have travelled the journey with me.
1:37:40 > 1:37:48It was something I will never forget.
1:38:04 > 1:38:07Brazil is training in Moscow are a friendly against Russia
1:38:07 > 1:38:09but they are without their star player Neymar.
1:38:09 > 1:38:16Some flash photography here.
1:38:16 > 1:38:19He is out of action with a fractured foot.
1:38:19 > 1:38:23As you can see, this is him arriving at a club in Sao Paulo.
1:38:23 > 1:38:24It's not all doom and gloom.
1:38:24 > 1:38:29He is recovering from a fractured toe.
1:38:29 > 1:38:35One of fee has some special dance moves.
1:38:35 > 1:38:43Heather Watson's miserable run of form continues.
1:38:43 > 1:38:45her sixth straight
1:38:45 > 1:38:47She was beaten by the Brazilian, Beatriz Hadda Maia.
1:38:47 > 1:38:51Her sixth straight defeat.
1:38:51 > 1:38:57Defending champion Joanna Konta has a bye into Round 2.
1:38:57 > 1:39:00England return to wearing whites as they start their series into
1:39:00 > 1:39:09England. Joe Root missed the Ashes series.Coming back into high
1:39:09 > 1:39:17intensity cricket.
1:39:17 > 1:39:22intensity cricket. It's been really mature. The sum that likes to do
1:39:22 > 1:39:26something at 150 million miles an hour all the time, you can see that
1:39:26 > 1:39:34maturity. That's only going to be a good thing for us moving forward.We
1:39:34 > 1:39:39showed you the most dramatic dive in world football. The Chilean football
1:39:39 > 1:39:45he won a penalty duties dramatic.
1:39:45 > 1:39:48he won a penalty duties dramatic. We didn't see the score is penalty but
1:39:48 > 1:39:55take a look at this one.
1:39:56 > 1:40:00take a look at this one. There goes the striker. Oh, hang on a sec.
1:40:00 > 1:40:10Lovely. Isn't that beautiful? It was so quick, wasn't it? Oh, look at
1:40:10 > 1:40:19that. He is not even looking, is he? The goalkeeper is so embarrassed. I
1:40:19 > 1:40:27don't think it was expecting that to work out at all.
1:40:27 > 1:40:31work out at all. Good morning to you. We will talk to Carol about the
1:40:31 > 1:40:36weather. It's very frosty.
1:40:37 > 1:40:42A widespread frost this morning. Also, some pasty Mitch and fog.
1:40:42 > 1:40:46Temperatures are that bit higher. You can see on the satellite, it
1:40:46 > 1:40:51goes back quite a bit. A lot of it is across most of Northern Ireland
1:40:51 > 1:41:01and Scotland. We are clear skies across most of England. It is
1:41:01 > 1:41:09careering southwards as we go through the course of the day. Some
1:41:09 > 1:41:15patchy light rain and drizzle. Some sunshine across many parts of
1:41:15 > 1:41:25England and Wales. Patchy rain and drizzle. We have some heavy rain at
1:41:25 > 1:41:30times across the north-west of Scotland. Maybe even a wee bit of
1:41:30 > 1:41:35snow on some of the higher ground. The other thing, the wind is going
1:41:35 > 1:41:41to pick up across the northern and Western Isles. We are looking at up
1:41:41 > 1:41:50to 12 Celsius. It will feel quite pleasant. As we head on through the
1:41:50 > 1:41:56evening. The weather front will continue.
1:41:58 > 1:42:01continue. With a cloud breaks, rather like this morning, we are
1:42:01 > 1:42:06looking at some pasty Mitch and fog forming across parts of England and
1:42:06 > 1:42:09Wales. Temperatures wise, a completely different start to the
1:42:09 > 1:42:17day tomorrow can get to today. It's great to be much milder.
1:42:19 > 1:42:26great to be much milder. Pockets of frost. The many, we start off on
1:42:26 > 1:42:33that note. Then some sunshine comes out, turning hazy trap the day. As
1:42:33 > 1:42:39our next more active weather front comes in from the Atlantic. It will
1:42:39 > 1:42:42be windy and we have some more organised rain, some heavy rain
1:42:42 > 1:42:52coming our way.
1:42:52 > 1:42:55coming our way. It will continue to drift eastwards. Here are the
1:42:55 > 1:43:01remnants of it.
1:43:02 > 1:43:07remnants of it. Here we will see some rain and also some hill snow.
1:43:07 > 1:43:16We have more rain coming in from the end Wales. In between, we will see
1:43:16 > 1:43:27some sunny skies and temperatures down into the north. Thank you very
1:43:27 > 1:43:40much, Carol. It's approaching quarter to wait.
1:43:40 > 1:43:44quarter to wait. It was a perfect finish. A whole of two silvers and a
1:43:44 > 1:43:50bronze. Lovely to see you both, by the way. Here is a look at their
1:43:50 > 1:44:02South Korean journey. It was epic.
1:44:54 > 1:44:55Incredible journey.
1:44:55 > 1:44:59Menna Fitzpatrick and Jen Kehoe join us now.
1:44:59 > 1:45:06And you have eight medals, this is fantastic. You won four. I'm
1:45:06 > 1:45:10guessing your favourite might be the gold-medal?Yeah. It's pretty
1:45:10 > 1:45:16special.The bronze one was special as well because we had such a
1:45:16 > 1:45:21disaster on the downhill. To finish that race was so emotional with
1:45:21 > 1:45:25super G, neither of us appreciated we had won a bronze medal, we were
1:45:25 > 1:45:33so related to get over the finish line.Kat was saying they weigh 500
1:45:33 > 1:45:41g each, two kilograms each.This is the stress position!
1:45:41 > 1:45:44the stress position!Meena, tell us about your journey into ski in, you
1:45:44 > 1:45:47started when you were pretty young? I started when I was five along with
1:45:47 > 1:45:57my family scheme behind my dad. -- into skiing. Are loved it so much I
1:45:57 > 1:46:02went every year and when I was 13 I went to a talent spotting day and
1:46:02 > 1:46:06the team said come to a camp -- I love it. Started since then and
1:46:06 > 1:46:14carried on. -- I loved it.How old are you? 19. You are so young and
1:46:14 > 1:46:21the hype about you was the big star at the Paralympics in Beijing. Did
1:46:21 > 1:46:25you have the expectation of this level of success when you went all
1:46:25 > 1:46:29were you, like, this is my first Games, take it easy, see what
1:46:29 > 1:46:34happens.That's what we said, go and enjoy the experience and have fun
1:46:34 > 1:46:39and what happens happens. Skiing has so many variables, as we saw on day
1:46:39 > 1:46:45one, anything can happen.Jen, you have been skiing together, you as
1:46:45 > 1:46:50the guide, for 2.5 years, how do you get into that? Someone comes to you
1:46:50 > 1:46:54and asks?I was racing for the British Army and a coach said have
1:46:54 > 1:46:58you thought about giving guiding a go, never heard about it, but went
1:46:58 > 1:47:03for a trial and loved it and have been hooked since.How do you know
1:47:03 > 1:47:08the partnership works? You have got a headset, and you communicate via
1:47:08 > 1:47:13that, I take it there's ways when you think this won't work and it
1:47:13 > 1:47:18clicks as it has done for you?We were lucky, the first moment we
1:47:18 > 1:47:22started skiing together we got on like a house on fire and it's gone
1:47:22 > 1:47:27from strength to strength. That was one of our biggest strengths as a
1:47:27 > 1:47:33pair, we love spending time with each other and working together.We
1:47:33 > 1:47:37have some video, you worked on this video, this is video of what it
1:47:37 > 1:47:41might be like for you from your perspective what you see. What are
1:47:41 > 1:47:47you concentrating on? You see a flash of orange. What are you
1:47:47 > 1:47:52concentrating on when you're skiing, Meena?To try to stick with where
1:47:52 > 1:47:59the blogger is going.You can't call Jen a blog!She is slightly better
1:47:59 > 1:48:06than a blog! -- where the blog is going.What are you saying, Jen, as
1:48:06 > 1:48:10you're going down through the headset?We avoid left and right,
1:48:10 > 1:48:16left and right. -- blob. We will inspect the course and run through
1:48:16 > 1:48:20it like a dress rehearsal, go through in detail round every gate
1:48:20 > 1:48:26and so I will say things like, roll press, initiate the turn and
1:48:26 > 1:48:31finished the turn, and if it is icy, stand on it, so positive actions so
1:48:31 > 1:48:38we give Meena something to do and to avoid her getting defensive --
1:48:38 > 1:48:46finish the turn. The one that helped us to win was go, go, go!You give
1:48:46 > 1:48:51me shivers, U2, so exciting!This was Paralympics GB's most accessible
1:48:51 > 1:48:57ever Winter Games and your medal on the last day was the one that pushed
1:48:57 > 1:49:00you over the target, was there a tension within the camp that maybe
1:49:00 > 1:49:05you weren't going to make it? Were you thinking about medals? Were you
1:49:05 > 1:49:09all just their supporting each other?It was in the back of our
1:49:09 > 1:49:15minds but not as a priority because we know we ski best when we are
1:49:15 > 1:49:19relaxed and taking it easy. We knew there was a target and we knew we
1:49:19 > 1:49:26had a chance to do well in the slalom. Millie and Bec had a great
1:49:26 > 1:49:30Games and a great finish to their season, we knew it was possible but
1:49:30 > 1:49:34we didn't want the pressure and we are so pleased it worked.You are
1:49:34 > 1:49:37only 19 so this partnership could last a while?Beijing is definitely
1:49:37 > 1:49:43in the plan. I have to have a chat with the British Army, they have
1:49:43 > 1:49:47been so supportive so fast.It's an important conversation.Take your
1:49:47 > 1:49:52medals with you! It is really wonderful to have you here. Thanks
1:49:52 > 1:49:58very much indeed. Many congratulations as well.
1:49:58 > 1:50:03Here's a question, are driverless vehicles safe?
1:50:03 > 1:50:06Here in the UK, the aim is to have them on the roads
1:50:06 > 1:50:07within three years.
1:50:07 > 1:50:10But a fatal accident in the US state of Arizona earlier this week saw
1:50:10 > 1:50:12a pedestrian killed by an automated car.
1:50:12 > 1:50:15So are we giving up control of our cars too soon?
1:50:15 > 1:50:17The government is investing millions into the development
1:50:17 > 1:50:20of driverless technology and this week volunteers have been
1:50:20 > 1:50:21testing prototype driverless pods.
1:50:21 > 1:50:29Holly Hamilton is in Greenwich this morning.
1:50:30 > 1:50:40Actually we will chat with you to. You said Beijing in four years but
1:50:40 > 1:50:43between then and now, how does your relationship with the British Army
1:50:43 > 1:50:51work?-- too. They have released me for two years to do this full-time.
1:50:51 > 1:50:55Meena needs the security of a full-time guide and I need time to
1:50:55 > 1:51:07train. -- you two.-- Meena, we aren't best-known for fantastic ski
1:51:07 > 1:51:12slopes in the UK, where do you do your training?We do most of it
1:51:12 > 1:51:16away, about seven months of the year, on and off, and most of that
1:51:16 > 1:51:23is in Europe but we have big trips over to Canada and Korea and other
1:51:23 > 1:51:30places.Skiing is an exhilarating sport, what would your advice be
1:51:30 > 1:51:35when you're starting out?Don't look at how steep it is!And find someone
1:51:35 > 1:51:43like Jen. I think that's a very good point. I will remember that next
1:51:43 > 1:51:46time I go, don't look at the steepness. Thank you for the extra
1:51:46 > 1:51:54interview. Would you like, know more about driverless cars? Holly
1:51:54 > 1:51:58Hamilton is testing them -- would you like to know more.
1:51:58 > 1:52:01These driverless cars have been hitting the headlines for perhaps
1:52:01 > 1:52:06the wrong reasons over the past few days following the incident in
1:52:06 > 1:52:10Arizona but whether we like it or not, this is the future. I'm hoping
1:52:10 > 1:52:16he's going to stop, he did. This car is completely operated by these
1:52:16 > 1:52:19sensors, there's no driver inside operating the steering wheel,
1:52:19 > 1:52:24instead it is just out here on its own and this is what the government
1:52:24 > 1:52:29wants by 2021, these kinds of cars on the roads and project that's been
1:52:29 > 1:52:33ongoing over the past year has been trying to develop an idea of how we
1:52:33 > 1:52:36perceive these cars. Let's have a word with someone who knows a bit
1:52:36 > 1:52:43more. It's quite cosy, a bit warmer than outside, Kristin is the
1:52:43 > 1:52:47technical lead on the research. This has been ongoing over the past year,
1:52:47 > 1:52:51how are people perceiving these? A few people have walked past this
1:52:51 > 1:52:56morning and given a few looks, may be more to do with us than the car,
1:52:56 > 1:53:01what's it been like?We have had a good reception. We been running
1:53:01 > 1:53:05officially for a couple of weeks and we have seen 200 people engaged and
1:53:05 > 1:53:11the reception has been really positive so far.You say a couple of
1:53:11 > 1:53:14100 but thousands want to get in on the research, which is quite
1:53:14 > 1:53:21telling?We have had around 5000 registering interest in the trials.
1:53:21 > 1:53:25It demonstrates the fact people are engaged in this topic and want to
1:53:25 > 1:53:29take part.People have their concerns, there was the incident in
1:53:29 > 1:53:33Arizona this week, lots have been getting in touch on Twitter this
1:53:33 > 1:53:37morning when we mention we were doing work with driverless cars.
1:53:37 > 1:53:41Should they be worried?Safety is always going to be a primary concern
1:53:41 > 1:53:46and one of the areas where we have to build trust as an industry. We
1:53:46 > 1:53:50are doing that as part of the work and the safety we have developed.
1:53:50 > 1:53:55It's going to be about building trust with people so the vehicles
1:53:55 > 1:54:00can be rolled out more widely.We're going to have a chat later about
1:54:00 > 1:54:05this and talking about how it works. For now we are going to have a nice
1:54:05 > 1:54:09little stroll around. It isn't fast, I'm not going to July, it is quite a
1:54:09 > 1:54:14slow process but I'm going to enjoy this at a leisurely pace. See you
1:54:14 > 1:54:18later.Thanks very much, Holly.
1:54:18 > 1:54:21The Church of England is going to start taking contactless payments.
1:54:21 > 1:54:22Steph can tell us more.
1:54:22 > 1:54:26It's in all the papers today and a lot of them going with the headline,
1:54:26 > 1:54:32let us play, in the papers. Good morning, everyone. -- let us pay.
1:54:32 > 1:54:35The Church of England will start taking contactless payments
1:54:35 > 1:54:37for things like weddings, christenings and one-off donations
1:54:37 > 1:54:39in more than 16,000 churches and cathedrals.
1:54:39 > 1:54:43Reverend Margaret Cave is the vicar of Christ Church in East Greenwich.
1:54:43 > 1:54:43She joins us now.
1:54:43 > 1:54:48This is something you have already been trialling, how has it been
1:54:48 > 1:54:52going?Absolutely brilliantly. I'm really pleased to the Church of
1:54:52 > 1:54:55England has recognised this culture change and a movement towards a
1:54:55 > 1:54:59cashless society and has been conducting this trial. We were
1:54:59 > 1:55:03fortunate as a church in Greenwich to be part of that trial and it's
1:55:03 > 1:55:08been brilliant, it's been really useful. I've got the card reader
1:55:08 > 1:55:11here, I don't know if people can see, it is light and easy and
1:55:11 > 1:55:15portable and we can use it in the church and office for lots of
1:55:15 > 1:55:18different payments. It's been fantastic.Has it made a big
1:55:18 > 1:55:24difference?It has made things much more simple and straightforward and
1:55:24 > 1:55:29secure and safe when we take payments. As a vicar I don't really
1:55:29 > 1:55:32want cash lying around, it's an issue for me and others, and this
1:55:32 > 1:55:37means we can do things in a 21st-century, modern way that keeps
1:55:37 > 1:55:40things safe for everyone. One of the great things is you can send an
1:55:40 > 1:55:45instant receipt, you take their mobile number or their e-mail
1:55:45 > 1:55:49address and it instantly sends a receipt so they can be sure the
1:55:49 > 1:55:53money has gone to the right place and me and the people in my team who
1:55:53 > 1:55:57have access to it also known the money is going to the right place.
1:55:57 > 1:56:00Makes everything more accountable. Absolutely.It's not being used yet
1:56:00 > 1:56:04for collection plates but that's one of the ideas that has been talked
1:56:04 > 1:56:07about, how would that work?At the moment the thing we mainly use it
1:56:07 > 1:56:13for is things like weddings, wedding bands and 1-off payments if people
1:56:13 > 1:56:18want to make a particular donation. We had a church weekend away and we
1:56:18 > 1:56:22had payments for that and we took the card reader for the weekend to
1:56:22 > 1:56:26make final payments, that worked really well. As far as the
1:56:26 > 1:56:30collection, as we understand it, when you pass around a bag during
1:56:30 > 1:56:36the service, it's a bit at this stage for taking donations. Most
1:56:36 > 1:56:40regular members of the Church give by standing order in a regular tax
1:56:40 > 1:56:46efficient way, which is great, and we can do the 1-off donations, but I
1:56:46 > 1:56:50think it will be a while. The Church of England is looking at how we can
1:56:50 > 1:56:54have a more effective and slightly more slimline smooth running system
1:56:54 > 1:56:58to use in services but we're not quite there yet but they're looking
1:56:58 > 1:57:03at things for that.Have the members reacted well?Really well. People
1:57:03 > 1:57:08have found it very useful and easy to use. It particularly makes a
1:57:08 > 1:57:12difference when you have a young couple coming for marriage bans or a
1:57:12 > 1:57:16wedding, rather than having to say there's a cashpoint across the road
1:57:16 > 1:57:21or can you write a cheque, who carries a cheque-book now, I can
1:57:21 > 1:57:25take an easy payment, chip and pin, Apple Pay, whatever.For your time
1:57:25 > 1:57:31this morning.That's it from me. Thanks very much, Steph.-- thank
1:57:31 > 1:57:34you for your time.
1:57:34 > 2:00:52Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.
2:01:18 > 2:01:21Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:01:21 > 2:01:25A pay rise for more than a million workers in the NHS.
2:01:25 > 2:01:26Nurses, porters and paramedics are among
2:01:26 > 2:01:28those expected to be offered wage increases of around
2:01:28 > 2:01:366% over three years.
2:01:49 > 2:01:51Good morning, it's Wednesday, 21st March.
2:01:51 > 2:01:53Also this morning, new claims that personal data
2:01:53 > 2:01:56from Facebook was used by a British firm to influence the American
2:01:56 > 2:01:59presidential election - the academic at the centre
2:01:59 > 2:02:07of the row tells the BBC he's been made a scapegoat.
2:02:11 > 2:02:14Honestly, we thought we were acting perfectly appropriately. We thought
2:02:14 > 2:02:16we were doing something that was completely normal.
2:02:16 > 2:02:18An investgation begins into the cause of a Red Arrows jet
2:02:18 > 2:02:22crash which killed an engineer and left the pilot injured.
2:02:22 > 2:02:23We have a special report into a widow's battle for legal
2:02:23 > 2:02:25representation at the inquiry into how her husband
2:02:25 > 2:02:33was murdered by a stranger.
2:02:34 > 2:02:42I still believe in the goodness of people. Because it's out there.
2:02:42 > 2:02:43But I don't believe in the system.
2:02:43 > 2:02:46The countdown is on for companies to reveal their gender pay gap.
2:02:46 > 2:02:49So far, three quarters of them have said they pay men more than women.
2:02:49 > 2:02:52I'll have the details shortly.
2:02:52 > 2:02:53In sport, it's friendlies week for England.
2:02:53 > 2:02:57And its the clash of the keepers - four candidates go to head to head
2:02:57 > 2:03:01to be the first choice at this summer's World Cup in Russia.
2:03:01 > 2:03:06And Carol has the weather.
2:03:06 > 2:03:11Good morning. It is a cold and frosty start for many. England and
2:03:11 > 2:03:17Wales seeing sunshine first thing but clouding over during the day.
2:03:17 > 2:03:20Stop -- Scotland and Northern Ireland with rain from the West.
2:03:20 > 2:03:24More details in 15 minutes. Thank you, Carol.
2:03:24 > 2:03:25Good morning. First, our main story.
2:03:25 > 2:03:28More than a million NHS staff are poised for a pay rise,
2:03:28 > 2:03:31with a deal that could be worth as much as £4 billion
2:03:31 > 2:03:32being announced by lunchtime today.
2:03:32 > 2:03:34The BBC understands that health bosses and unions have
2:03:34 > 2:03:37reached an agreement that will mark an end to a seven year cap
2:03:37 > 2:03:39and boost the salaries of workers including nurses,
2:03:39 > 2:03:41porters and paramedics - but not doctors.
2:03:41 > 2:03:49Our political correspondent, Iain Watson, is in Westminster.
2:03:50 > 2:03:54There is so much detailed to try to get through. Overall what are the
2:03:54 > 2:04:01main headlines?That is right. Effectively the paid cap, the pay
2:04:01 > 2:04:05restraint for public service workers, was lifted last September
2:04:05 > 2:04:08when police and prison officers breached that 1%. There was pressure
2:04:08 > 2:04:12on the government to do more for other public sector workers. They
2:04:12 > 2:04:16said they were willing to be flexible. We are likely to get the
2:04:16 > 2:04:19detail at lunchtime of an offer to NHS staff in England, which will be
2:04:19 > 2:04:29worth about 6.5% over the next three years for workers in the NHS
2:04:29 > 2:04:33overall. How individuals benefit depends on what jobs they are doing.
2:04:33 > 2:04:37I am told the pay increases will be skewed towards those who are the
2:04:37 > 2:04:46lowest paid. So for example, if you are a hospital porter on around
2:04:46 > 2:04:4915,000 a year, or a hospital cleaner, at the end of the
2:04:49 > 2:04:56three-year period your pay could go up to £19,000 a year. An increase of
2:04:56 > 2:04:59up to 30% for the lowest paid workers, even though the average
2:04:59 > 2:05:04increase would be around 6% of the same period. That average increase,
2:05:04 > 2:05:09if inflation were to stay at its current level, that would be a bit
2:05:09 > 2:05:13below inflation. But it is a long way away from those days of pay
2:05:13 > 2:05:20freezes and 1% pay caps. That is what partly as a recommended this to
2:05:20 > 2:05:23the unions. The unions are being told the money will not come from
2:05:23 > 2:05:28anywhere else in the NHS. There had been talk of staff giving up a gay's
2:05:28 > 2:05:33leave to fund this. That was taken off the table last week. It looks as
2:05:33 > 2:05:38though the bulk of this money will come from the Treasury. That is
2:05:38 > 2:05:43partly getting the unions on side. As well as the idea that pay
2:05:43 > 2:05:45restraint has been broken partially inside the health service.
2:05:45 > 2:05:52Thank you. We will get details later on. Lunchtime today. Stay across the
2:05:52 > 2:05:54BBC.
2:05:54 > 2:05:56Facebook will be questioned by politicians in Washington today,
2:05:56 > 2:05:58as the company comes under growing pressure to explain how data
2:05:58 > 2:06:01from 50 million accounts was used by a British Company
2:06:01 > 2:06:05during the US presidential election.
2:06:05 > 2:06:06It's alleged that Cambridge Analytica used the data
2:06:06 > 2:06:09to target voters and influence the election outcome.
2:06:09 > 2:06:13That company's chief executive, Alexander Nix, has been suspended.
2:06:13 > 2:06:20Both firms deny any wrongdoing. Simon Jones reports.
2:06:20 > 2:06:21Facebook held a crisis meeting today...
2:06:21 > 2:06:27An international row about Facebook data making headlines in the States
2:06:27 > 2:06:29and in London, home to the consultancy,
2:06:29 > 2:06:30Cambridge Analytica.
2:06:30 > 2:06:33That company is accused of using the personal data of 50
2:06:33 > 2:06:35million Facebook users to send highly targeted messages
2:06:35 > 2:06:43during the 2016 US election campaign.
2:06:43 > 2:06:46Secret filming by Channel 4 News shows Cambridge Analytica's boss,
2:06:46 > 2:06:48Alexander Nix, boasting about the role it played
2:06:48 > 2:06:54in Donald Trump's victory.
2:07:05 > 2:07:07The company has denied the Facebook information was used
2:07:07 > 2:07:08for this purpose.
2:07:08 > 2:07:11It said Mr Nix's comments do to not represent the values of the firm.
2:07:11 > 2:07:13He has been suspended.
2:07:13 > 2:07:21The Cambridge academic who created the data that was
2:07:21 > 2:07:23harvested has been banned from Facebook says
2:07:23 > 2:07:26that he has been targeted.
2:07:26 > 2:07:29I have been used as a scapegoat by Cambridge Analytica.
2:07:29 > 2:07:31We thought we were acting appropriately, and did not
2:07:31 > 2:07:35do anything wrong.
2:07:35 > 2:07:38Facebook says it did break rules by donating data to third parties
2:07:38 > 2:07:46and says it has been deceived by Cambridge Analytica.
2:07:49 > 2:07:52Facebook denies it has done anything wrong. There is growing pressure
2:07:52 > 2:08:00from politicians for its boss, Mark Zuckerberg, to break his silence on
2:08:00 > 2:08:02how his customer information is protected.
2:08:02 > 2:08:06The Royal Air Force has confirmed that an engineer in its Red Arrows
2:08:06 > 2:08:08aerobatic team has died in a crash in North Wales.
2:08:08 > 2:08:11The engineer was killed when a Hawk jet came down near the RAF Valley
2:08:11 > 2:08:13base on Anglesey yesterday.
2:08:13 > 2:08:15The pilot, who is injured and receiving medical
2:08:15 > 2:08:17care, managed to eject.
2:08:17 > 2:08:21There are no details about the cause of the crash.
2:08:21 > 2:08:29Sian Lloyd reports.
2:08:34 > 2:08:36The Red Arrow Hawk jet crashed within minutes of taking off
2:08:36 > 2:08:37Anglesey yesterday afternoon.
2:08:37 > 2:08:39The clouds of smoke could be seen for
2:08:39 > 2:08:40miles across the island.
2:08:40 > 2:08:43This footage was taken just moments after it came down.
2:08:43 > 2:08:45Two members of the Red Arrows display team were board.
2:08:45 > 2:08:49One crew member died.
2:08:49 > 2:08:51The family of the engineers have been informed and
2:08:51 > 2:08:57asked for a 24-hour period of grace before further details are released.
2:08:57 > 2:09:00The pilot of the aircraft survived the incident and is currently
2:09:00 > 2:09:02receiving medical care.
2:09:02 > 2:09:10Peter Glover saw what happened on his nearby caravan.
2:09:10 > 2:09:17The canopy came off and I saw a parachute open and the plane hit the
2:09:17 > 2:09:22ground, severely hit the ground. A massive bang and a bowl of smoke.
2:09:22 > 2:09:23The Red Arrows aerobatic team are famous
2:09:23 > 2:09:25that their displays.
2:09:25 > 2:09:27The two crew members have been training on Anglesey and the jet
2:09:27 > 2:09:30was returning to its base at RAF Scampton in Lincolnshire
2:09:30 > 2:09:38when it came down.
2:09:38 > 2:09:42The Ore of say their thoughts are with the families of the men
2:09:42 > 2:09:46involved in this crash. The joint enquiry into what happened is being
2:09:46 > 2:09:51carried out by the Air Accident Invesigation Branch and North Wales
2:09:51 > 2:09:54police. They are appealing for anybody who saw what happened to get
2:09:54 > 2:09:57in touch.
2:09:57 > 2:09:59Vulnerable mental health patients are being let down
2:09:59 > 2:10:01because of "serious failings" in their treatment,
2:10:01 > 2:10:06the Parliamentary and Health Service Ombudsman has said.
2:10:06 > 2:10:09Issues with some mental health trusts could lead to patients
2:10:09 > 2:10:11suffering distress and harm.
2:10:11 > 2:10:16The Ombudsman also found that NHS mental healthcare staff
2:10:16 > 2:10:18can lack the capacity, skills and training they need
2:10:18 > 2:10:20to do their job effectively.
2:10:20 > 2:10:28The Government says they are expanding service provision.
2:10:28 > 2:10:31A man has been injured after a parcel bomb exploded
2:10:31 > 2:10:33in the Texan city of Austin - the latest in a series
2:10:33 > 2:10:34of similar attacks.
2:10:34 > 2:10:36Five devices have detonated so far this month,
2:10:36 > 2:10:38which have killed two people.
2:10:38 > 2:10:40A sixth parcel bomb was intercepted before it exploded.
2:10:40 > 2:10:48The FBI now believes the attacks are the work of a serial bomber.

2:10:54 > 2:10:56Christmas 2015 was when Nadja Ensink should have been celebrating
2:10:56 > 2:10:57the birth of her baby.
2:10:57 > 2:11:01Instead she was mourning the murder of her husband,
2:11:01 > 2:11:03who'd been stabbed to death as he posted cards
2:11:03 > 2:11:05announcing their news.
2:11:05 > 2:11:10Days earlier, his killer Femi Nandap had knife
2:11:10 > 2:11:12offence charges dropped, despite concerns over
2:11:12 > 2:11:14his mental health.
2:11:14 > 2:11:17Now desperate for answers, Nadja will finally hear an inquest
2:11:17 > 2:11:19into whether there were failings in the system.
2:11:19 > 2:11:24But after being denied legal aid while the public bodies she fights
2:11:24 > 2:11:27have their fees by the public purse, she's had a battle to ensure her
2:11:27 > 2:11:34concerns get heard in court, as Jayne McCubbin reports.
2:11:34 > 2:11:40There were three police officers standing in front of our door.
2:11:40 > 2:11:45I immediately noticed the homicide tent to the left.
2:11:45 > 2:11:48And then...
2:11:48 > 2:11:53This massive bomb and then there's nothing.
2:11:53 > 2:11:56A man who was stabbed in north London this afternoon has died...
2:11:56 > 2:11:58A mentally ill young man has admitted stabbing
2:11:58 > 2:12:04a university lecturer to death in a random attack...
2:12:04 > 2:12:07This was the last photo taken of Nadja's husband, Jeroen,
2:12:07 > 2:12:14taken less than an hour before he was killed.
2:12:14 > 2:12:1711 days after Fleur was born, he had stepped outside
2:12:17 > 2:12:19to post her birth notices.
2:12:19 > 2:12:24Jeroen was stabbed just metres from his front door.
2:12:24 > 2:12:28She knows that other kids have a dad.
2:12:28 > 2:12:30Do you try to talk to her about her dad?
2:12:30 > 2:12:34Every day, every day.
2:12:34 > 2:12:38There are pictures all over the house and I want her to know why
2:12:38 > 2:12:40she just walks down the street and says, look, mummy,
2:12:40 > 2:12:43daddy's in my heart.
2:12:43 > 2:12:46Those moments when your heart breaks but at the same
2:12:46 > 2:12:48time Jeroen is with us.
2:12:48 > 2:12:52I think you got it!
2:12:52 > 2:12:54Today Femi Nandap is serving an indefinite sentence at
2:12:54 > 2:12:56Broadmoor Hospital for manslaughter.
2:12:56 > 2:12:59But why were charges against him for an earlier knife offence dropped
2:12:59 > 2:13:05on the advice of the CPS six days before he killed?
2:13:05 > 2:13:07And why were serious concerns passed to police about his mental
2:13:07 > 2:13:10health never acted upon?
2:13:10 > 2:13:14These are questions Nadja hopes an inquest will answer
2:13:14 > 2:13:17but while the police and CPS will have legal representation
2:13:17 > 2:13:21at that inquest, paid for from the public purse,
2:13:21 > 2:13:25she has been refused legal aid.
2:13:25 > 2:13:27Without legal representation I won't be able to get
2:13:27 > 2:13:30the answers we need.
2:13:30 > 2:13:35As if it's not important enough, as if we don't count.
2:13:35 > 2:13:36We need to have the answers.
2:13:36 > 2:13:40We need to have the answers so it won't happen again.
2:13:40 > 2:13:43The Met told us, while there was no misconduct, there had
2:13:43 > 2:13:44been areas of learning.
2:13:44 > 2:13:47The CPS admitted the case against the previous knife offence
2:13:47 > 2:13:52should never have been discontinued.
2:13:52 > 2:13:56But while they have limitless resources to go into inquest
2:13:56 > 2:13:58this summer, Nadja is left to crowdfund to pay
2:13:58 > 2:14:02for legal representation.
2:14:02 > 2:14:05This is seen as an inequality of arms by many.
2:14:05 > 2:14:08The Ministry of Justice told us it is committed to reviewing
2:14:08 > 2:14:10the situation for bereaved families but that review is delayed.
2:14:10 > 2:14:13They have all the resources.
2:14:13 > 2:14:15They have the resources, we don't.
2:14:15 > 2:14:17You're relying on the kindness of strangers now to
2:14:17 > 2:14:20get you through this.
2:14:20 > 2:14:23And I'm so incredibly grateful for them and I just feel everyone
2:14:23 > 2:14:28is behind us and they want the answers as much as we do.
2:14:28 > 2:14:33As all this is going on, I still believe in the goodness of people.
2:14:33 > 2:14:37Because it's out there.
2:14:37 > 2:14:43But I don't believe in the system.
2:14:46 > 2:14:53Jayne is with us now.
2:14:53 > 2:14:58You can see the pain she is going through. Would she is really
2:14:58 > 2:15:03determined that actually hopefully she can make a difference to others?
2:15:03 > 2:15:07She is. Of course she is talking because she is desperately trying to
2:15:07 > 2:15:14raise funds through crowdfunding to pay for a legal representation. But
2:15:14 > 2:15:16she is talking because there are many families out there in the same
2:15:16 > 2:15:23situation. They find it unfathomable how it is right when they go to
2:15:23 > 2:15:26inquest to ask questions from public bodies, that they are the only
2:15:26 > 2:15:30people in the room without paid for a legal representation.
2:15:30 > 2:15:35She talked about the system and not having faith in the system, which is
2:15:35 > 2:15:40the crux of the issue. That system is currently being reviewed. What is
2:15:40 > 2:15:45likely to be the outcome?The system is being reviewed. David Gauke, the
2:15:45 > 2:15:50justice minister, said we currently spend £1.6 million on legal aid.
2:15:50 > 2:15:55That has to represent value for money. Just yesterday the Law
2:15:55 > 2:16:00Society said too many people were priced out of justice. Momentum is
2:16:00 > 2:16:02gathering for change. Bishop James Jones, after the Hillsborough
2:16:02 > 2:16:11inquest, said this has to change. After the deaths in custody review
2:16:11 > 2:16:14last year, Damian Delaney said it had to change. There was a human
2:16:14 > 2:16:17rights committee hearing which heard evidence from lots of people,
2:16:17 > 2:16:23amongst them a campaign group who said this has to change. Can I tell
2:16:23 > 2:16:29you briefly about one family that gave evidence there?
2:16:30 > 2:16:34They described facing teams of barristers, not just from the Met
2:16:34 > 2:16:37police but the London Ambulance Service, free hospital trusts, the
2:16:37 > 2:16:42bereaved family were the only people in the room that did not have their
2:16:42 > 2:16:49legal fees paid for. How can that be right? That is the question being
2:16:49 > 2:16:54shouted loud and clear. Yesterday they admitted to the BBC that the
2:16:54 > 2:16:57review that will look at this should have come back this summer but it is
2:16:57 > 2:17:03rolled into next year. We will be following that.Do get into contact
2:17:03 > 2:17:07with us, I note you received so much. And pass on our thanks as
2:17:07 > 2:17:09well.
2:17:09 > 2:17:16Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.
2:17:16 > 2:17:19Good morning, it is chilly with a widespread frost, tomorrow will be
2:17:19 > 2:17:24different. Temperatures have been around freezing or below across many
2:17:24 > 2:17:29parts of the UK apart from where there has been cloud cover and this
2:17:29 > 2:17:33has helped maintain the temperature is through the night. Most of the
2:17:33 > 2:17:37cloud has been in Northern Ireland and Scotland and Northumbria but the
2:17:37 > 2:17:41rest of the country, is largely clear start with one or two
2:17:41 > 2:17:48exceptions. As the weather front moves south, the sunshine will turn
2:17:48 > 2:17:53hazy as the cloud comes along with some light and patchy rain and
2:17:53 > 2:17:59drizzle. A chilly start with some frost around, rain in western and
2:17:59 > 2:18:03northern Scotland and Northern Ireland. That will move
2:18:03 > 2:18:07south-eastwards and had a bit there is cloud producing patchy light rain
2:18:07 > 2:18:11and drizzle. The far south-east will hang on to the sunshine until later
2:18:11 > 2:18:16in the day. The other thing to notice is that the wind will
2:18:16 > 2:18:20strengthen in the northern and western isles. Higher temperatures
2:18:20 > 2:18:24than we have seen for a while, 12 Celsius in Aberdeen for example this
2:18:24 > 2:18:30afternoon. This evening and overnight, that front continues to
2:18:30 > 2:18:36take the cloud and rain to the south, still some showery outbreaks
2:18:36 > 2:18:40in western Scotland and where the cloud breaks, like this morning,
2:18:40 > 2:18:44some patchy mist and fog but unlike this morning it will not be as cold.
2:18:44 > 2:18:51Temperatures staying in positive figures in the towns and cities, a
2:18:51 > 2:18:54bit lower in rural areas. If you are likely to see any frost tonight it
2:18:54 > 2:18:59is likely to be in pockets in south-west England and possibly
2:18:59 > 2:19:05Wales but that will be the exception rather than the rule. Into tomorrow
2:19:05 > 2:19:10morning we will start with some rain in the far south-east and parts of
2:19:10 > 2:19:15eastern England but that will move away to leave some sunny skies.
2:19:15 > 2:19:18Increasingly the sunshine will turn hazy at a more active weather front
2:19:18 > 2:19:23comes in from the Atlantic producing heavy rain and gusty winds. Ahead of
2:19:23 > 2:19:27that in the sunshine it will feel quite pleasant with temperatures
2:19:27 > 2:19:33widely in double figures. This band of rain will continue to move
2:19:33 > 2:19:38eastwards overnight. By the morning we will have the dregs of it across
2:19:38 > 2:19:43eastern England into the south-east but that will clear away also
2:19:43 > 2:19:48following this circle, you can see the other end of the band is in
2:19:48 > 2:19:51northern and western Scotland, some of that will be wintry in nature and
2:19:51 > 2:19:54there is more rain coming in from the south-west.
2:19:58 > 2:20:00Thank you, we will see you in half an hour.
2:20:00 > 2:20:03There are just two weeks to go before the deadline for Britain's
2:20:03 > 2:20:05biggest companies to submit figures showing their gender pay gap.
2:20:05 > 2:20:10Steph's here with more details.
2:20:10 > 2:20:16You can explain what the pay gap is.
2:20:16 > 2:20:19Companies with more than 250 employees in the UK have been told
2:20:19 > 2:20:21by the government to publish the difference between
2:20:21 > 2:20:22what they pay men and women.
2:20:22 > 2:20:25Some of them have already been publishing it. Three quarters of
2:20:25 > 2:20:33them paid men more than women. If you look at the average, for every
2:20:33 > 2:20:40pound woman earns, a man gets £1 20, that is an average figure across the
2:20:40 > 2:20:45UK and not comparing jobs. Some industries are worse than others.
2:20:45 > 2:20:51Airlines have some of the biggest gaps. They would argue that is
2:20:51 > 2:20:53because, for example, a lot of the pilots are men who earn more money
2:20:53 > 2:20:59but that brings in the question of if we should not be encouraging more
2:20:59 > 2:21:03women to become pilots. These figures are not the whole story, the
2:21:03 > 2:21:07lot of societal questions around it as well. Also, some companies pay
2:21:07 > 2:21:14women more than men. For example BT, Unilever, which makes things like
2:21:14 > 2:21:22Marmite and Domestos, and Diageo, the drinks company, they pay women
2:21:22 > 2:21:261% more than men. There is inequality in lots of ways in terms
2:21:26 > 2:21:30of pay.
2:21:33 > 2:21:36There are some really quite considerable gaps between what women
2:21:36 > 2:21:38and men are earning in some of our household names around
2:21:38 > 2:21:41the country and what that tells us is that these organisations need
2:21:41 > 2:21:44to put an action plan in place so that they can start
2:21:44 > 2:21:45to address the problem.
2:21:45 > 2:21:48We need to move from publishing numbers to putting the plan in place
2:21:48 > 2:21:51and what we have to have is transparency in pay because if we
2:21:51 > 2:21:54don't have transparency, we can't have equality.
2:21:57 > 2:22:02If you want to find out if your company has published the figures,
2:22:02 > 2:22:08it is on the BBC website, it is companies with over 250 employees.
2:22:08 > 2:22:13It will tell you what the pay gap is if there is one.And the deadline is
2:22:13 > 2:22:16in about two weeks?Yes.
2:22:17 > 2:22:18Facebook is under growing pressure this morning
2:22:18 > 2:22:20as governments on both sides of the Atlantic demand
2:22:20 > 2:22:24answers over a data breach.
2:22:24 > 2:22:2650 million Facebook users had information harvested,
2:22:26 > 2:22:29which was then used by UK firm Cambridge Analytica to allegedly try
2:22:29 > 2:22:34influence voters in the US election.
2:22:34 > 2:22:41Is tailoring data for a purpose anything new?
2:22:41 > 2:22:43Dominic McGregor is the co-founder of social media marketing
2:22:43 > 2:22:46company The Social Chain.
2:22:46 > 2:22:51When you heard about this Cambridge Analytica story and the way they
2:22:51 > 2:22:54used the data from Facebook, what were your initial thoughts?That
2:22:54 > 2:23:01this is nothing new. Data is the currency of online so big players
2:23:01 > 2:23:07like Facebook, Google, YouTube, they use your data to sell to third
2:23:07 > 2:23:11parties and for you to be marketed to.And you are in that business so
2:23:11 > 2:23:17how do you use, how do you interact with how we use sites like Facebook?
2:23:17 > 2:23:21When you sign up to Facebook for example, you did your name, where
2:23:21 > 2:23:27you live, your friends, and you can use that data to target people based
2:23:27 > 2:23:32on their interests, the pages they like, to sell them products.
2:23:32 > 2:23:36Somebody might come to you and say, we are trying to sell a new brand of
2:23:36 > 2:23:40washing powder, how do we target the best people and make sure people who
2:23:40 > 2:23:45might want to buy it might be interested?That is exactly how it
2:23:45 > 2:23:52works, the same through Google and using audiences to profile --
2:23:52 > 2:23:59profile people. They do that through Facebook.As the people who have had
2:23:59 > 2:24:02their data mined agreed to it?It would be deep in the conditions of
2:24:02 > 2:24:10the platform but not if being sold to third parties. Facebook have turn
2:24:10 > 2:24:14a blind eye to it being sold on.We don't know that yet and they have
2:24:14 > 2:24:22said they are not done anything.The third-party breach could the
2:24:22 > 2:24:26potential -- could be the potential problem.We were saying earlier that
2:24:26 > 2:24:30it is a regulation that can sort that outcome is that where it needs
2:24:30 > 2:24:34to come from? Whether that is America or the UK, the government
2:24:34 > 2:24:39has to say to these companies, you can't do that.That is way GDP up
2:24:39 > 2:24:43comes in, the steps that the government are taking the big
2:24:43 > 2:24:49businesses that hold data as to by them.It gets to the heart of how
2:24:49 > 2:24:56people use social media and whether they know if there data, what it's
2:24:56 > 2:24:59being used for and how much they should be sharing. I know you are
2:24:59 > 2:25:04interested in people's data but what would your advice be to people? Who
2:25:04 > 2:25:08don't want perhaps to be targeted all the time by people who are
2:25:08 > 2:25:15selling them stuff.There are tonnes of steps you could take, delete
2:25:15 > 2:25:16Facebook was trending yesterday but I think that is quite extreme
2:25:16 > 2:25:22because it is an integral part of our lives like Google and YouTube.
2:25:22 > 2:25:30You can turn off your cookies, you can make yourself a private -- more
2:25:30 > 2:25:35private, there are steps you can take to be forgotten.Many people
2:25:35 > 2:25:40will know what cookies are but some won't, that is where you trace what
2:25:40 > 2:25:47websites you been to?When you go to the website and then go away from
2:25:47 > 2:25:51it, York footpath is essentially followed online and it will be seen
2:25:51 > 2:25:54on Facebook and YouTube and you can be followed around internet.That is
2:25:54 > 2:26:02pretty simple, when you are shopping for shoes, you go to another website
2:26:02 > 2:26:07and the side bar will remind you. That's it.Interesting to talk to
2:26:07 > 2:26:13you, thank you very much. I am sure we can continue talking about this.
2:26:13 > 2:26:15It is fascinating, it makes you think about what you do, what you
2:26:15 > 2:26:23share.She beat teachers from 170 countries to be crowned the best
2:26:23 > 2:26:28teacher in the world earlier this week. Andrea is about to arrive back
2:26:28 > 2:26:35in London and then Schofield is there for us.
2:26:35 > 2:26:43Good morning, everybody. Welcome to Heathrow Airport, these are pupils
2:26:43 > 2:26:48from Alberton School in North London who are waiting for the art and
2:26:48 > 2:26:50design teacher who has been named the best teacher in the world. She
2:26:50 > 2:26:58was chosen from among 30,000 nominees and she walks away with a
2:26:58 > 2:27:03prize of $1 million. She had been waiting for a while now and this is
2:27:03 > 2:27:06a big surprise that she is going to get later but that is after the
2:27:06 > 2:27:07news, travel and weather where you are.
2:27:07 > 2:27:07news, travel and weather where you news, travel and weather where you
2:27:07 > 2:30:26are.
2:30:26 > 2:30:28On the screen now.
2:30:28 > 2:30:29Bye for now.
2:30:37 > 2:30:43Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.
2:30:44 > 2:30:49The main stories:
2:30:49 > 2:30:54More than a million NHS staff are poised for a pay rise -
2:30:54 > 2:30:57with a deal that could be worth as much as £4 billion
2:30:57 > 2:30:59being announced by the government at lunch time today.
2:30:59 > 2:31:01The BBC understands that health bosses and unions have
2:31:01 > 2:31:04reached an agreement that will mark an end to a 7-year-cap
2:31:04 > 2:31:05and boost the salaries of workers including nurses,
2:31:05 > 2:31:08porters and paramedics - but doctors are not included.
2:31:08 > 2:31:11Earlier the Health Ombudsman told Breakfast he welcomed the news.
2:31:11 > 2:31:19What I do know is that the five-year plan, the strategy going forward
2:31:19 > 2:31:23means that staffing issues have to be addressed, vacancies have to be
2:31:23 > 2:31:29addressed. The whole issue of using agency staff and double shifts has
2:31:29 > 2:31:34to be addressed. And in that context it is significant that the pay award
2:31:34 > 2:31:36has been made.
2:31:37 > 2:31:39Facebook will be questioned by politicians in Washington today -
2:31:39 > 2:31:42as the company comes under growing pressure to explain how data
2:31:42 > 2:31:44from 50 million users was used by a British Company
2:31:44 > 2:31:45during the US presidential election.
2:31:45 > 2:31:47It's alleged that Cambridge Analytica used the data
2:31:47 > 2:31:49to target voters and influence the election outcome.
2:31:49 > 2:31:51That company's chief executive, Alexander Nix, has been suspended.
2:31:51 > 2:31:59Both firms deny any wrongdoing.?
2:32:03 > 2:32:06A group of MPs is warning of government 'complacency' when it
2:32:06 > 2:32:08comes to security co-operation with the EU after Brexit.
2:32:08 > 2:32:10The all-party Home Affairs Committee says
2:32:10 > 2:32:13the transition period which has recently been agreed may need to be
2:32:13 > 2:32:16extended if public safety is not to be compromised.
2:32:16 > 2:32:19They say it's down to the complexity of issues such as data sharing,
2:32:19 > 2:32:25the European Arrest Warrant and Europol membership.
2:32:25 > 2:32:29The amount of plastic in the ocean could trouble within a decade unless
2:32:29 > 2:32:33action is taken to curb the amount of letter going into the sea. This
2:32:33 > 2:32:39is according to a major new report. The report from the UK Government
2:32:39 > 2:32:44says plastics is just one issue facing the world's sees, along with
2:32:44 > 2:32:47rising levels and the warming of the oceans. It also says much more
2:32:47 > 2:32:50knowledge is needed about our oceans.
2:32:50 > 2:32:52President Trump is reported to have ignored warnings
2:32:52 > 2:32:54from his national security advisers not to congratulate Vladimir Putin
2:32:54 > 2:32:55on his re-election.
2:32:55 > 2:32:58The Washington Post is reporting that Mr Trump went
2:32:58 > 2:33:00against his advisers - and was even given a briefing note
2:33:00 > 2:33:06with the words "do not congratulate" in capital letters.
2:33:06 > 2:33:08The Royal Air Force has confirmed that an engineer
2:33:08 > 2:33:11in its Red Arrows aerobatic team has died in a crash in North Wales.
2:33:11 > 2:33:15The engineer was killed when a Hawk jet came down near the RAF Valley
2:33:15 > 2:33:18base on Anglesey yesterday.
2:33:18 > 2:33:20The pilot who is injured and receiving medical
2:33:20 > 2:33:21care managed to eject.
2:33:21 > 2:33:29The jet came down shortly after taking off on a routine flight.
2:33:33 > 2:33:38Chris is on Anglesey this morning. Hopefully you can bring us the
2:33:38 > 2:33:44latest the investigation... There is lots of activity on the
2:33:44 > 2:33:49airbase behind me. We have seen people in high visibility jackets,
2:33:49 > 2:33:51investigators, checking out large areas around where the plane came
2:33:51 > 2:33:56down. We also have a tent which has gone up around the wreckage so that
2:33:56 > 2:33:59investigators can go through that in detail over the course of the next
2:33:59 > 2:34:04few hours. The investigation is continuing today. They have not been
2:34:04 > 2:34:08many details so far as to what went wrong exactly yesterday.
2:34:08 > 2:34:13Eyewitnesses said the plane took off from the runway and it appeared to
2:34:13 > 2:34:17loop back on itself, almost as if it was returning to the airbase, and it
2:34:17 > 2:34:21seemed to wobble as it came down towards the ground. We don't know at
2:34:21 > 2:34:25this stage if that wobbling, which was reported, because the pilot had
2:34:25 > 2:34:35already rejected, or because of a fault on the aircraft. That is the
2:34:35 > 2:34:37sort of thing investigators will be looking into over the next few
2:34:37 > 2:34:40hours. The RAF has asked for a period of grace before giving any
2:34:40 > 2:34:42more details about the engineer who died in the pilot in hospital. It
2:34:42 > 2:34:46has paid tribute to the two men. The head of the RAF has said that it
2:34:46 > 2:34:51shows the risks that staff take on a daily basis.
2:34:51 > 2:34:55Thanks romance.
2:34:55 > 2:34:57-- thanks very much.
2:34:57 > 2:34:59We can speak now to former RAF pilot, Andrew Brookes,
2:34:59 > 2:35:01who is in our London studio
2:35:01 > 2:35:05There is an investigation going on into what happened. But from what
2:35:05 > 2:35:07you have just heard, and your knowledge, do you have any
2:35:07 > 2:35:13indication as to what might have caused this?Obviously something
2:35:13 > 2:35:18very catastrophic. The worst part is on take-off. You don't have much
2:35:18 > 2:35:21speed, you don't have much hyped. Unless something really traumatic
2:35:21 > 2:35:26happened and you completely lose control, there is no way but coming
2:35:26 > 2:35:31straight down. The only way to usually is to do a let down. We have
2:35:31 > 2:35:38to find out what that catastrophe was.What is a Martin Baker let
2:35:38 > 2:35:43down?Using an ejector seat.Thanks. The pilot got out. The engineer
2:35:43 > 2:35:49didn't manage to get out. These would have been decisions made in
2:35:49 > 2:35:56split seconds, correct?This is the real catastrophe. The poor
2:35:56 > 2:36:01engineer's family. And the poor pilot, I have to say, he will be
2:36:01 > 2:36:05traumatised himself thinking could I have done more, could I have done
2:36:05 > 2:36:09anything? It really is one of those dreadful situations. As you say,
2:36:09 > 2:36:15it's a split second. When I used to do this, I used to say, hand over
2:36:15 > 2:36:21the ejector seat. If you hear me say project, go, if you say pardon, you
2:36:21 > 2:36:26will be talking to yourself, because I would have already left. It is an
2:36:26 > 2:36:29instantaneous thing. It's a difficult thing to do. It's the only
2:36:29 > 2:36:33time you will ever do it.I don't know the answer to this question,
2:36:33 > 2:36:37did you ever have a do it?I was very lucky I never had to, nothing
2:36:37 > 2:36:43bad ever went wrong. They are well made aircraft. They are well
2:36:43 > 2:36:46maintained. They are beautifully flown and engineered. When it
2:36:46 > 2:36:54happens it is so unusual we have a catastrophe like this.Safety would
2:36:54 > 2:36:59have been absolutely paramount. They would have been checking the
2:36:59 > 2:37:05aircraft at all points, correct?The Red Arrows air planes, you can eat
2:37:05 > 2:37:09your lunch inside the jet pipe it is so beautifully polished and
2:37:09 > 2:37:15maintained. You could not have asked for any better engineering support.
2:37:15 > 2:37:19We just have to find out what is this real one off disaster was which
2:37:19 > 2:37:23caused this terrible accident. Absolutely. Thank you very much for
2:37:23 > 2:37:27your time on breakfast.
2:37:27 > 2:37:28Still to come on Breakfast this morning.
2:37:28 > 2:37:31We'll be live at Heathrow airport as more than 100
2:37:31 > 2:37:33school children await the arrival of their teacher
2:37:33 > 2:37:40who's just been crowned the best in the world.
2:37:42 > 2:37:44She's the 'Woman on the Dancing Horse' -
2:37:44 > 2:37:50triple Olympic gold medallist Charlotte Dujardin will tell us
2:37:50 > 2:37:55about life after Valegro and if he can ever be replaced.
2:37:55 > 2:37:57And you might remember when Maya the 10-week-old
2:37:57 > 2:38:05jaguar came to the studio.
2:38:06 > 2:38:08Unfortunately, she's now too big to come back,
2:38:08 > 2:38:11but we'll catch up with how she's doing and how fast she's growing.
2:38:11 > 2:38:15That's after 9.
2:38:15 > 2:38:20Did you watch when she was here? Walking around the sofa. Just an
2:38:20 > 2:38:26incredible animal. You really missed out. Anyway, we will talk to her
2:38:26 > 2:38:29handler later. We have a different cat on the sofa
2:38:29 > 2:38:31this morning, just as excited, right?
2:38:31 > 2:38:35Exactly. We will bring you an update on live
2:38:35 > 2:38:39sport. We've been talking about the England squad, the battle for the
2:38:39 > 2:38:42place in the goalkeeping that all morning. But there is a massive
2:38:42 > 2:38:46cricket match going on in Zimbabwe at the moment. It is Scotland
2:38:46 > 2:38:50against the West Indies for a place in the World Cup. Whoever loses is
2:38:50 > 2:38:55likely not to make it through. It is kind of must win. The West Indies,
2:38:55 > 2:39:01they were taught a force in world cricket. They have been going down
2:39:01 > 2:39:02recently, but they do have the quality.
2:39:02 > 2:39:08How is it going? It is tightly poised. It's an
2:39:08 > 2:39:18automatic qualifier if they win. Scotland took the wicket of Chris
2:39:18 > 2:39:26Gayle very first thing. But the West Indies have rallied to 46-2 after 14
2:39:26 > 2:39:32overs. But that isn't a massive score. To get Chris Gayle, first
2:39:32 > 2:39:36ball, he is a matchwinner for West Indies. Brilliant start for
2:39:36 > 2:39:39Scotland, let's hope they can make it through to the World Cup.
2:39:39 > 2:39:42It's rare going into a major tournament that England don't
2:39:42 > 2:39:45have a nailed-down goalkeeper, but that seems to be the case ahead
2:39:45 > 2:39:46of this summer's World Cup.
2:39:46 > 2:39:48Joe Hart, Jordan Pickford, Jack Butland and Nick Pope
2:39:48 > 2:39:50are all competing for that spot in net.
2:39:50 > 2:39:52The squad is preparing for an international friendly double
2:39:52 > 2:39:54header against the Netherlands on Friday, and Italy next Tuesday.
2:39:54 > 2:39:57Hart has 75 caps for England, but says he's hungrier than ever
2:39:57 > 2:39:58to be the first-choice.
2:39:58 > 2:40:02It's obvious he going to mean everything.
2:40:02 > 2:40:06-- It's obviously going to mean everything.
2:40:06 > 2:40:10So many people who have the same feeling as me and we are all
2:40:10 > 2:40:18fighting and pushing in the same direction to be a part of it
2:40:18 > 2:40:22and we will see that at the moment, you've got
2:40:22 > 2:40:25to live in the present and hold on to the most important game.
2:40:25 > 2:40:26So Hart wants the Number 1 shirt,
2:40:26 > 2:40:29but so does new-boy Nick Pope, whose performances for Burnley this
2:40:29 > 2:40:31season have seen many tip him as a future first-choice.
2:40:31 > 2:40:33It's been an incredible journey for the 25-year-old,
2:40:33 > 2:40:35who used to be a milkman.
2:40:35 > 2:40:37One of the journalists in his press conference couldn't resist asking
2:40:37 > 2:40:39whether England's latest goalkeeping prodigy dropped any
2:40:39 > 2:40:40bottles on his milk run.
2:40:40 > 2:40:41No, I was clean.
2:40:41 > 2:40:42On the float, electric.
2:40:42 > 2:40:45What's the best thing about being an England player?
2:40:45 > 2:40:47Can I call myself that if I've not played?
2:40:47 > 2:40:48OK.
2:40:48 > 2:40:53I think it's just the honour.
2:40:53 > 2:40:55The moment from Thursday to be around people who have been
2:40:55 > 2:41:00there from the start.
2:41:00 > 2:41:07People have travelled the journey with me.
2:41:07 > 2:41:13It was something I will never forget.
2:41:13 > 2:41:19There used to facing penalties, goalkeepers. It won't happen this
2:41:19 > 2:41:23summer, of course not! Four of them, you would hope they could keep
2:41:23 > 2:41:27penalties out. But would they be able to keep this one out. This was
2:41:27 > 2:41:32in street football in Argentina. Absolutely beautiful stuff coming
2:41:32 > 2:41:37up. Down goes the ball, the keeper is ready, the whistle blows, the
2:41:37 > 2:41:46striker is ready to go. Look at that! I wonder if we will see that
2:41:46 > 2:41:51in Russia in the summer. Probably not.
2:41:51 > 2:41:57But you cannot take the run-up. But they do. It annoys me when they
2:41:57 > 2:41:59stop and start. The referee should tell them to do
2:41:59 > 2:42:03it again. That was good, though.
2:42:03 > 2:42:08If somebody did that in Russia, do you think the referee would turn a
2:42:08 > 2:42:09blind eye? No.
2:42:09 > 2:42:11LAUGHTER Such a shame.
2:42:11 > 2:42:14As much as we would like them to. Exactly.
2:42:14 > 2:42:17There aren't many people who get the honour of saying
2:42:17 > 2:42:19they are the best in world at their profession.
2:42:19 > 2:42:22But that's exactly what a teacher from North London can claim.
2:42:22 > 2:42:24Andria Zafirakou was awarded the 'Global Teacher Prize' in Dubai
2:42:24 > 2:42:26this week for her work teaching art and textiles
2:42:26 > 2:42:28in a North London secondary school.
2:42:28 > 2:42:36And the bonus - it comes with a £1 million prize!
2:42:37 > 2:42:39-- And the bonus - it comes with a $1 million prize!
2:42:39 > 2:42:42Ben Schofield is at Heathrow airport for us -
2:42:42 > 2:42:44where her students have turned up to welcome her home.
2:42:44 > 2:42:47Good morning. Good morning and welcome to the
2:42:47 > 2:42:51arrivals lounge at Heathrow Airport. I have a lot of children from Albert
2:42:51 > 2:42:53and community School, do you want to make some noise?
2:42:53 > 2:42:59CHEERING -- Alberton community School. They
2:42:59 > 2:43:03are here to welcome back their teacher who has been named the best
2:43:03 > 2:43:07each in the world. She saw off 30,000 nominees from other countries
2:43:07 > 2:43:12to pick up that award. Let's find out more about her. I have four of
2:43:12 > 2:43:17her art design yes seven students. In one word, what makes her so
2:43:17 > 2:43:25great?Helpful.The best.Perfect. Great stuff. They've brought along
2:43:25 > 2:43:31some artwork. What is the best thing about this picture?It is colourful
2:43:31 > 2:43:35and there are lots of objects.You have portraits, landscapes, and the
2:43:35 > 2:43:42lady herself, Andrea. How was your flight this morning from Dubai?
2:43:42 > 2:43:48Relaxing, surreal, it was great, it was fantastic, yeah. I slept for the
2:43:48 > 2:43:52first time in about three weeks. What was it like when they announced
2:43:52 > 2:43:58you were the winner?I couldn't believe it. I didn't hear my name.
2:43:58 > 2:44:05Complete shock. I'm so overwhelmed. Still trying to come back to Earth.
2:44:05 > 2:44:10I think I will be up there for a long time. It is such an honour.
2:44:10 > 2:44:17Thank you so much for what they are doing for teachers, they are
2:44:17 > 2:44:23recognising ours. That is what we want. We want that. -- recognising
2:44:23 > 2:44:26us.You said you were doing it for the children in your acceptance
2:44:26 > 2:44:32speech.Everything is about the children, it always should be for
2:44:32 > 2:44:36the children.You said that you hoped schools would be a safe haven
2:44:36 > 2:44:40for children. A safe haven from what? What do you hope to provide
2:44:40 > 2:44:45for them?I would like every child to achieve beyond their wildest
2:44:45 > 2:44:49dreams. They need to reach the potential. They don't need to have
2:44:49 > 2:44:54any labels. I want them to make sure that what ever their goals are they
2:44:54 > 2:44:59can get there. Nothing should be a barrier to block them from that.
2:44:59 > 2:45:04Theresa May was among the people... I know, what an honour. Lewis
2:45:04 > 2:45:08Hamilton, as well. That was just a dream. What a lovely man. It was
2:45:08 > 2:45:14perfect. Perfect.Theresa May said great teachers have resilience,
2:45:14 > 2:45:18ingenuity, and a generous heart, you have all of that in spades. Do you
2:45:18 > 2:45:23think politicians give you enough support in the classroom?Now is the
2:45:23 > 2:45:27time, isn't it? Now I have this platform, this opportunity, I can
2:45:27 > 2:45:32really help support our teachers, and really make sure that, you know,
2:45:32 > 2:45:37the arts have a great place in our society. Look at these amazing
2:45:37 > 2:45:41children coming out to celebrate with us. They are incredible. I'm
2:45:41 > 2:45:44really looking forward to see what we can do to make things even
2:45:44 > 2:45:50better.What made you go into teaching in the first place?
2:45:50 > 2:45:55It wasn't even a choice, just a natural thing. It wasn't a decision
2:45:55 > 2:45:59to make.You've got massive support from your school and family.They
2:45:59 > 2:46:03are amazing. Look at them. Good morning, guys.You are amazing.
2:46:03 > 2:46:09Let's have a chat to your lovely daughter. What makes her so great?
2:46:09 > 2:46:17She is like wonder woman.I think that sums up one great teacher and
2:46:17 > 2:46:22the atmosphere here. Back to you in the studio. I love that. Huge
2:46:22 > 2:46:28congratulations to her as well. You were not hear the day she was here,
2:46:28 > 2:46:33she can say hello in 50 languages and the kids adore her. The best
2:46:33 > 2:46:40teacher in the world. There's another one here. Always Wonder
2:46:40 > 2:46:45Wolman, the finest weather presenter on the planet, Carol Kirkwood.If
2:46:45 > 2:46:51only that were true. Good morning to you both.
2:46:51 > 2:46:55A cold and blustery start if you have not yet ventured out. Cloud has
2:46:55 > 2:46:59maintained the temperature level through the night and the cloud is
2:46:59 > 2:47:03loudly -- largely across northern England and Scotland and Northern
2:47:03 > 2:47:05Ireland and bringing rain at the moment, moving steadily south use
2:47:05 > 2:47:12woods. Move away from it and we have clear skies, frosty, but sunny, and
2:47:12 > 2:47:15as the weather front goes south through the course of the day, the
2:47:15 > 2:47:21sunshine watcher -- turn hazy. A beautiful start across England and
2:47:21 > 2:47:26Wales away from the north but we do have more cloud. For Scotland and
2:47:26 > 2:47:30Northern Ireland, cloudy start with the rain moving in and pushing
2:47:30 > 2:47:33steadily to the south-east. The cloud across northern England this
2:47:33 > 2:47:38afternoon, and Wales, that might be thick enough for some patchy light
2:47:38 > 2:47:42rain but not much more than that and not all of us will see it. We will
2:47:42 > 2:47:47hang on for the sunshine in the south-east and the wind will pick up
2:47:47 > 2:47:50across the northern and western isles, but temperature wise in good
2:47:50 > 2:47:55shape today. Many of us in double figures and in Aberdeen could get to
2:47:55 > 2:47:5812 Celsius, while since we have seen that. Through the evening and
2:47:58 > 2:48:02overnight the weather front sinks to the south, taking the patchy light
2:48:02 > 2:48:08rain with it. Shower Ian outbreaks continue across western parts, and
2:48:08 > 2:48:11where the cloud breaks we could sleep patchy mist and fog. We
2:48:11 > 2:48:15shouldn't have any issues with Frost tonight but we could see pockets of
2:48:15 > 2:48:20frost across areas of Wales and south-west England, but the
2:48:20 > 2:48:25temperatures are low and most of us should not see frost. This morning
2:48:25 > 2:48:28we had temperatures below freezing, but tomorrow no such thing. As we
2:48:28 > 2:48:32head through tomorrow, we start with drizzly rain across parts of eastern
2:48:32 > 2:48:36England and the south-east which clears away. It leaves a fair bit of
2:48:36 > 2:48:40sunshine, but like today, as the weather comes in from the West, the
2:48:40 > 2:48:45cloud will build on the sunshine turns hazy. The weather front will
2:48:45 > 2:48:48have wind around it and it will produce heavy bursts of rain. But
2:48:48 > 2:48:57ahead of it we are looking at temperatures in double figures.
2:48:58 > 2:49:00temperatures in double figures. As we move through the evening and
2:49:00 > 2:49:01overnight, the weather front drifts steadily eastwards, pushing into
2:49:01 > 2:49:03eastern Scotland and England by morning. If we follow the curl
2:49:03 > 2:49:06around, the other end is across north West Scotland. Here there will
2:49:06 > 2:49:12be further spells of rain and hill snow. At the same time, another band
2:49:12 > 2:49:16of rain is swinging from the south-west, and the northern extent
2:49:16 > 2:49:19is still open to question and tomorrow in the north it will be a
2:49:19 > 2:49:24windy day. Moving away from the rain, not bad at all and the recent
2:49:24 > 2:49:30sunny intervals with decent amount of cloud and temperatures between
2:49:30 > 2:49:33nine and 11. More rain on the cards on Saturday with hill snow but not
2:49:33 > 2:49:39all of us seeing it. Some bright skies, variable cloud, but not quite
2:49:39 > 2:49:44as mild as today or tomorrow. That holds true as we head into Sunday as
2:49:44 > 2:49:48well. The exception being across parts of the South.You have kept
2:49:48 > 2:49:54your trophy for another year.
2:49:54 > 2:49:58World's best ever weather presenter, voted for by us.
2:49:58 > 2:50:00She's a World, Olympic and European gold medallist.
2:50:00 > 2:50:06Charlotte Dujardin's incredible dressage performances
2:50:06 > 2:50:08with her wonder horse Valegro earned the pair global recognition
2:50:08 > 2:50:16for their record-breaking performances at London 2012.
2:50:16 > 2:50:18Now the triple Olympic champion has jumped out
2:50:18 > 2:50:21of the saddle for a few moments to write her autobiography -
2:50:21 > 2:50:23recalling those early days of riding ponies and trotting all the way
2:50:23 > 2:50:25to the Olympic arena.
2:50:25 > 2:50:31She is here to talk to us about it. How are you?Nice to be here, I am
2:50:31 > 2:50:36good.How was the book-writing process? Hard to dredge through
2:50:36 > 2:50:42those memories or did you enjoy it? It was quite hard. I enjoyed every
2:50:42 > 2:50:47minute of doing it, but it was tough in the sense of doing a full day's
2:50:47 > 2:50:54work and then having to go back and think that home about my life, and
2:50:54 > 2:50:59go back as quite some time. I'm only 32, so not that long, but it was
2:50:59 > 2:51:04quite tiring. I didn't realise how much it would involve.Tell us about
2:51:04 > 2:51:09Valegro. He is a wonder horse. When did you know there was something
2:51:09 > 2:51:13special about him?He was always very special, special as a young
2:51:13 > 2:51:18horse and throughout his whole career. He was very successful and
2:51:18 > 2:51:23nobody really knew the journey we would have and how it would happen,
2:51:23 > 2:51:29but he's a very special horse.How big a decision is it to say, thank
2:51:29 > 2:51:32you very much, Valegro, but you can enjoy the rest of your life, and I
2:51:32 > 2:51:38will move on and find a new partner? It was tough, but I had to make the
2:51:38 > 2:51:41call in the sense that he had one absolutely everything and we had
2:51:41 > 2:51:47every world record and everything to win, he had done it, and there was
2:51:47 > 2:51:52no better way to retire him than at the Olympics in Rio. It was a very
2:51:52 > 2:51:55emotional time.Let's have a little look at the Rio Olympics. Look at
2:51:55 > 2:52:00this. No, it's the World Cup, apparently. We might have the
2:52:00 > 2:52:05Olympics in a minute. Tell us, when you are doing this, I presume you
2:52:05 > 2:52:09are concentrating incredibly hard. Absolutely. I don't even hear or see
2:52:09 > 2:52:14anything around me. People say, how can you perform in such big crowds?
2:52:14 > 2:52:18But I don't see it. I am in the zone. And I have such a great
2:52:18 > 2:52:25partnership with him. We just get in our routine, from start to finish,
2:52:25 > 2:52:30it's incredible.If you have a perfect relationship with Valegro
2:52:30 > 2:52:34and he is your partner in that regard, how do you then try and
2:52:34 > 2:52:39rebuild or find a new relationship with your horse? How many do you
2:52:39 > 2:52:44have to do test out to find the new Valegro?That is the thing, even
2:52:44 > 2:52:47though I'm riding Valegro at that level, I'm training courses
2:52:47 > 2:52:51underneath him. I have a string of horses at home that I have been
2:52:51 > 2:52:56training and I do have another exciting up and coming horse that I
2:52:56 > 2:53:03hope to take to the world Equestrian games this year and then the
2:53:03 > 2:53:11Olympics.There was a point when you thought you might have to sell him.
2:53:11 > 2:53:16What was that like?Very emotional. That was a very tough time. That was
2:53:16 > 2:53:19after London 2012 and I remember everybody saying, would you cry if
2:53:19 > 2:53:26he won the gold medal and I said, no, why would I cried, it's so
2:53:26 > 2:53:29exciting and to have your dream. -- why would I cried. I was living the
2:53:29 > 2:53:36dream. To then think he would be sold was some incredibly tough that
2:53:36 > 2:53:39I cried the whole time I was there after each performance because each
2:53:39 > 2:53:45one was going to be my last one. What people enjoy so much about your
2:53:45 > 2:53:51story is that, rightly or wrongly, we have a perception of what we
2:53:51 > 2:53:53think people involved in dressage are like, and you are very different
2:53:53 > 2:53:58to that, and once people found that out, they thought, OK, there's
2:53:58 > 2:54:02another reason I can be interested, because in some regards of people
2:54:02 > 2:54:07involved in the sport. Is that fair? Very fair. That's why it was
2:54:07 > 2:54:11important to me to write the book and get it across to people, that it
2:54:11 > 2:54:13isn't always about having lots of money will stop through hard work
2:54:13 > 2:54:18and dedication Tomic you can reach your goals and dreams that is what I
2:54:18 > 2:54:24did. I am a normal girl who has worked to get where I am today.
2:54:24 > 2:54:28During that rising up, did you have to fight a bit against the horse
2:54:28 > 2:54:33establishment, if you like?Well it's never easy. You are always
2:54:33 > 2:54:38going up and down and you never know. The journey I have had, I
2:54:38 > 2:54:41wouldn't change anything and it has made me the person I am today and
2:54:41 > 2:54:46I'm incredibly lucky to have achieved what I have. I would never
2:54:46 > 2:54:50have thought I could have done so much so quickly.What is interesting
2:54:50 > 2:54:55in the book is that you talk about growing up, and healthy sibling
2:54:55 > 2:55:01rivalry. Is that fair enough? You would really determined to beat your
2:55:01 > 2:55:04sister, for example? -- you were really determined.I was terrible as
2:55:04 > 2:55:08a kid and was always very competitive. My sister gave up
2:55:08 > 2:55:13because she did not like me beating her. And I carried on. My poor mum,
2:55:13 > 2:55:20she had the two of us together.That is the thing, you don't have to own
2:55:20 > 2:55:25the horseshoe ride necessarily. People would send their naughty
2:55:25 > 2:55:32ponies to you to sort out. How did you do it?I think, as a child, we
2:55:32 > 2:55:35never had the finances to buy the perfect pony so we had to buy the
2:55:35 > 2:55:40naughty ones that no one else wanted and train them to make them good.
2:55:40 > 2:55:43People saw that was what I could do and then it was like, well, they
2:55:43 > 2:55:48would send me their ponies, I would ride them...That is a lovely
2:55:48 > 2:55:55picture.That is me and my sister. Yeah. Thank you for putting it
2:55:55 > 2:56:01there.Well, you put in the book. I suppose now, it's about looking
2:56:01 > 2:56:04forward, you are only 32 and a triple Olympic champion. What are
2:56:04 > 2:56:09your hopes and dreams going forward? To do it all again. That is the
2:56:09 > 2:56:14thing, do it all again. There is no better feeling than representing
2:56:14 > 2:56:18your country, standing on that podium with a medal in your hand. It
2:56:18 > 2:56:25makes every cold day, hard day worth it. I am so lucky that my job is my
2:56:25 > 2:56:30passion and I get to work with such fantastic animals.How is Valegro? I
2:56:30 > 2:56:36think he is the most wonderful horse. Is ridden?He is retired but
2:56:36 > 2:56:40we still go out and do demonstrations with him so people
2:56:40 > 2:56:44still get to see him and they absolutely love it. He is loving
2:56:44 > 2:56:49life because he can eat whatever he likes and I am very jealous of that.
2:56:49 > 2:56:55He is having a luxury life and everybody fights over who will ride
2:56:55 > 2:57:00him every day, taking him hacking, to do the things he loves doing.
2:57:00 > 2:57:06Wonderful. Thank you. You talk about a dog's life, but....
2:57:06 > 2:57:11Congratulations on everything.Thank you so much.Can you take Louise to
2:57:11 > 2:57:13meet Valegro.
2:57:13 > 2:57:14Charlotte's autobiography is called The Girl
2:57:14 > 2:57:17on the Dancing Horse.
2:57:17 > 2:57:24All the best, and we hope we see you in Tokyo. Our driverless vehicles
2:57:24 > 2:57:28safe? In the UK we mentioned that the aim was to have them on the road
2:57:28 > 2:57:32in three years, but we told about the fatal accident in Arizona where
2:57:32 > 2:57:36a pedestrian was killed by an automated car. Are we giving up
2:57:36 > 2:57:42control of cars too soon? This week volunteers have tested prototype
2:57:42 > 2:57:46pods, and Holly Hamilton is on board one, or just about to be. Good
2:57:46 > 2:57:53morning.Not quite just yet. Good morning. Driverless cars, as you
2:57:53 > 2:57:56say, they have hit the headlines for all the wrong reasons for the last
2:57:56 > 2:58:01few days. Rightly or wrongly, some people have reservations because of
2:58:01 > 2:58:05this and there are issues around safety that people want to see
2:58:05 > 2:58:11addressed, so these guys have been riding around East London in the
2:58:11 > 2:58:15past year, and they are getting some looks. People aren't completely
2:58:15 > 2:58:18comfortable with the idea of a driverless car, specifically this
2:58:18 > 2:58:22one which makes it different as it is totally autonomous which is
2:58:22 > 2:58:27different from the trials in the US. They work with sensors in front.
2:58:27 > 2:58:33Andy is in charge of the trial and they -- and you can explain a bit
2:58:33 > 2:58:37more about how this operates and how people perceive this.Yes, the
2:58:37 > 2:58:42vehicle operates as safely as we can make it on the route here, so we
2:58:42 > 2:58:46used a multilayered safety approach starting with the engineering on the
2:58:46 > 2:58:50product, so we have stringent built control on the vehicle and it's
2:58:50 > 2:58:54based on a Heathrow platform that worked since 2011.That sounded
2:58:54 > 2:59:01complicated.It's personal rapid transit, so it was designed in 2001
2:59:01 > 2:59:08and has been moving over for about 5 million people and it's done 3.5
2:59:08 > 2:59:11million kilometres of travel, so it is a safe platform that Westfield
2:59:11 > 2:59:16are developing with Heathrow and with fusion processes who provide
2:59:16 > 2:59:20the brains and I is for the system that finds its way around the route,
2:59:20 > 2:59:26navigating as safely where it starts as the Intercontinental and down to
2:59:26 > 2:59:30John Harris ecology park.How have people reacted to it when they have
2:59:30 > 2:59:33seen it, but you've also had problems that people maybe haven't
2:59:33 > 2:59:36seen it and are taking it for granted. Headphones have been an
2:59:36 > 2:59:43issue.You find people are plugged into their devices and looking at
2:59:43 > 2:59:46their mobile screens, finding directions, so we had entertaining
2:59:46 > 2:59:51evenings where we have had people who have had a happy evening in the
2:59:51 > 2:59:55pub, wondering their merry way, and quite, looted route home, and the
2:59:55 > 3:00:00pod will follow them. Because we have obstacle avoidance, and
3:00:00 > 3:00:03eventually they realise it is there and they move at the way, usually
3:00:03 > 3:00:08with a smile or waive or asked for a lift. People have received it well
3:00:08 > 3:00:13the most common question is when can we have a go on it and it's great
3:00:13 > 3:00:24the public and have a go.Let's take a look inside. It's cosy. We will
3:00:24 > 3:00:29try to get the cameraman in, as well. This is nice. Hello,
3:00:29 > 3:00:31everybody. Christon, you are technical lead on the project. We
3:00:31 > 3:00:37have been talking about the safety aspects. In terms of how many people
3:00:37 > 3:00:42have been taking this, are we ready for this technology?Definitely.
3:00:42 > 3:00:45We've had positive responses from members of the public who want to
3:00:45 > 3:00:50engage with the technology, ride the vehicles, and ultimately we are keen
3:00:50 > 3:00:53to get their feedback. We encourage people who have taken part to
3:00:53 > 3:00:58complete the survey for us, as well, because that will be really useful
3:00:58 > 3:01:00for us.You have had lots of interest, lots of people wanting to
3:01:00 > 3:01:04have a go. It shows that people are keen and they want to know a bit
3:01:04 > 3:01:09more.Definitely. We had about 5000 people who signed up to take part in
3:01:09 > 3:01:15the trial. We did a project. It's been great to get the public
3:01:15 > 3:01:19acceptance and the energy from people to come along and try the
3:01:19 > 3:01:24vehicles.This is a unique situation we are in. It isn't a public road,
3:01:24 > 3:01:29we don't have busy traffic, it isn't congested. We have cyclists, people
3:01:29 > 3:01:33jogging, probably going faster than us, to be honest. Is this a real
3:01:33 > 3:01:37representation of what it will be like? It'll be different in the
3:01:37 > 3:01:41middle of a city in real life.We are on a shared cycling and
3:01:41 > 3:01:47pedestrian route. The vehicle is going about five miles per hour. We
3:01:47 > 3:01:51are taking into account development of things. These vehicles would be
3:01:51 > 3:01:53implemented into different situations. But this is what they
3:01:53 > 3:01:58are built for. It is just about finding out how people might use the
3:01:58 > 3:02:03vehicles.The main aim of this is to make sure we are safe.
3:02:03 > 3:02:12INAUDIBLE
3:02:13 > 3:02:19I think she was saying that somebody would have their finger on the
3:02:19 > 3:02:23button. The signal has gone. I was enjoying that. Sometimes
3:02:23 > 3:02:27technology works OK on some occasions. But sometimes the string
3:02:27 > 3:02:31and the paper cup... They just break, don't they?
3:02:31 > 3:02:35The good news is we will be talking big cat in a moment. But before
3:02:35 > 3:04:10that, a brief look at the headlines.
3:04:10 > 3:04:13Now though it's back to Dan and Louise.
3:04:25 > 3:04:27Welcome back, everybody.
3:04:27 > 3:04:28Last September Naga and Charlie were joined
3:04:28 > 3:04:34on the Breakfast sofa by a ten week old jaguar -
3:04:34 > 3:04:37her name was Maya.
3:04:37 > 3:04:40She was being hand reared by Big Cat expert Giles Clark
3:04:40 > 3:04:44after her mother abandoned her.
3:04:44 > 3:04:54Let's have a reminder of exactly what Maya is all about.
3:04:54 > 3:04:58There is a BBC documentary which is following Giles as he tries to turn
3:04:58 > 3:05:03a big cat sanctuary in Kent into a world leading institution. He joins
3:05:03 > 3:05:11us now with Maya.She seems so inquisitive. She is constantly
3:05:11 > 3:05:16sniffing. She is absolutely checking out the environment.She has the
3:05:16 > 3:05:20typical cat curiosity. Curiosity killed the cat, as the saying goes.
3:05:20 > 3:05:24She is full of it. She is really starting to come into her own.She
3:05:24 > 3:05:30is a real character. My impression is that she sees very well. I'm
3:05:30 > 3:05:33following her. She is chasing leaves and sticks. Visually I do not think
3:05:33 > 3:05:38there is a problem. It is great to see her just flicking her feet.
3:05:38 > 3:05:41There is no problem with sensation. She is feeling the water on her
3:05:41 > 3:05:47feet. That is encouraging. It'll be interesting to see her climb and
3:05:47 > 3:05:51just, you know, follow along a log, all those sorts of things, just so
3:05:51 > 3:06:02she knows placement of her feet. She is lovely. Look at that! Awesome.
3:06:02 > 3:06:03Unfortunately because of health and safety
3:06:03 > 3:06:07we haven't been able to have Maya - who's now a fully grown jaguar -
3:06:07 > 3:06:12back in the studio - but Giles Clarke is here.
3:06:12 > 3:06:16Incredible to see. I know it is natural. But how much she has grown
3:06:16 > 3:06:23in that period of time.She has grown phenomenally fast. Hand
3:06:23 > 3:06:27rearing other big cats, actually the ratio she has grown has been
3:06:27 > 3:06:32extraordinary. She is 35 kilos now. I was just checking your arms. I
3:06:32 > 3:06:40have a puppy, there is no scratch or new.Relatively OK. She got excited
3:06:40 > 3:06:45when she was younger. We are past that stage now, so no scratches.She
3:06:45 > 3:06:50was really inquisitive when she was here. If she was here, what would
3:06:50 > 3:06:54she be doing? Taking chunks out of the sofa?We would not have much of
3:06:54 > 3:07:01it left. This would be an amazing toy at her age.For her to get her
3:07:01 > 3:07:05claws into it?Absolutely. Her teeth, her claws, it would not last
3:07:05 > 3:07:10long.We should have got her in, that would have solved things.
3:07:10 > 3:07:15Remind us why you had to hand rear her. She had been rejected by her
3:07:15 > 3:07:20mother, had and she?That's right. She started off with her mother.
3:07:20 > 3:07:25After a few days it became obvious that she wasn't being attentive to
3:07:25 > 3:07:31her cub. When the staff were checking on Maya at four days old,
3:07:31 > 3:07:35she was lethargic and showing signs of dehydration. It would have been a
3:07:35 > 3:07:39downward spiral. Because the mother would have been less interested than
3:07:39 > 3:07:42she would have got more exhausted and not been able to feed. The
3:07:42 > 3:07:49decision was to hand rear her.I know in Australia you are used to
3:07:49 > 3:07:53having tigers at home, but what is it like to have her as a member of
3:07:53 > 3:07:57the family?She was an intense individual. Because she was on her
3:07:57 > 3:08:02own. Other cubs before, they've always had each other, but because
3:08:02 > 3:08:05she was a singleton, so went to was awake she demanded your undivided
3:08:05 > 3:08:14attention. She was really intense in that aspect. And because they are
3:08:14 > 3:08:20more arboreal than lions and tigers. They like to climb.Exactly. So she
3:08:20 > 3:08:23found her way quickly onto kitchen tops come up the bookcase. She used
3:08:23 > 3:08:29to love sitting on my shoulder.What has she destroyed?She moved out of
3:08:29 > 3:08:33the house before she got that stage. There are some teeth marks on some
3:08:33 > 3:08:38of the furniture. But actually we had her back at the sanctuary full
3:08:38 > 3:08:42time by three months.OK.You do not take hand rearing lightly. It isn't
3:08:42 > 3:08:45something you would choose to do unless it was really necessary to
3:08:45 > 3:08:51save an animal's life.Exactly. In this situation, had we not
3:08:51 > 3:08:57intervened, Maya would not have survived. Moving forward, she isn't
3:08:57 > 3:09:01going to be part of the breeding programme. For us she is an amazing
3:09:01 > 3:09:06ambassador for what we want to achieve, which is effectively
3:09:06 > 3:09:09supporting conservation. For us it is actually about keeping animals in
3:09:09 > 3:09:13the wild where they should be.As nice as it is to talk to you, I
3:09:13 > 3:09:18think people want to see a bit more of Maya.
3:09:18 > 3:09:21We've got a clip of you looking after
3:09:21 > 3:09:23Maya at home - and she's really quite a handful!
3:09:23 > 3:09:24Let's take a look.
3:09:24 > 3:09:31She might be little but this little girl is determined.She is crying
3:09:31 > 3:09:36like this now because I am running late with the food. Yes! She is
3:09:36 > 3:09:41letting me know that she is a bit hungry. The quicker I get it... I
3:09:41 > 3:09:52know! The quicker I get this done the quicker she will be happy. Oh!
3:09:52 > 3:09:57If you have looked after anything that is small, human, animal, they
3:09:57 > 3:10:03dictate the schedule for a little while.
3:10:03 > 3:10:07We saw her there, you can get the sense of the intensity of it all.
3:10:07 > 3:10:16What is the future for her? Is now living on her own?She is still at
3:10:16 > 3:10:20an age where she would be living with her mother in the wild.Are you
3:10:20 > 3:10:26mum now?At the moment. You can tell that she is maturing so quickly.
3:10:26 > 3:10:30Over the next couple of months I will completely withdraw the contact
3:10:30 > 3:10:35I have with her. Because she will get to a stage where she is
3:10:35 > 3:10:38incredibly big, very powerful, and still a wild animal at the end of
3:10:38 > 3:10:41the day. I am waiting for the point where she would disperse naturally
3:10:41 > 3:10:47from mum. And at that point she would be relying on the

3:10:50 > 3:10:55people fell in love with her. But the life of big cat is tough, isn't

3:11:00 > 3:11:04There are 40 species of wild cat in the world. The majority of them are
3:11:04 > 3:11:12in a lot of trouble. For the big guys, Jaguars are not faring too
3:11:12 > 3:11:21badly in comparison to cheaters, lines, or

3:11:36 > 3:11:43the world? What are the priorities? Each species faces different
3:11:43 > 3:11:47threats. But the species around the world are the same. They are losing
3:11:47 > 3:11:50their habitat. They are killed either directly because of the
3:11:50 > 3:11:55illegal wildlife trade, etc, or they come into conflict with people in
3:11:55 > 3:12:05communities and people will take retribution. Decrease in prey. We
3:12:05 > 3:12:09not only need to protect them as a species, but also these huge
3:12:09 > 3:12:13landscapes which they call home. Yesterday we were talking on the
3:12:13 > 3:12:19programme, we heard about the last male north-west and white rhino who
3:12:19 > 3:12:26sadly passed away. I think it is his daughter and granddaughter left.

3:12:45 > 3:12:48keep the species going. One of the most important moment in my career
3:12:48 > 3:12:52was learning that he was the last male of his kind. With his passing
3:12:52 > 3:12:59they have an incredibly dedicated team that spreads across the world.
3:12:59 > 3:13:04What they have done is taken samples from him. Hopefully the idea is to
3:13:04 > 3:13:12perfect this technique of IVF in Rhinos so they can replicate the
3:13:12 > 3:13:17DNA. But those remaining females, the only two left of that
