the mutiny on the bounty for its latest reality show. presenter ant middleton will be here to tell us all about it. and the weather is quite a rough today. and i hope the weather is quite a rough today. and we have sarah with the saturday weather. good morning. it's an unsettled, showery weekend and some of us will see some sunshine. see you in a few minutes. good morning. first, our main story. the democratic unionist party narrowly remains the largest party in northern ireland after a snap election. but the result means they're nowjust one seat ahead of sinn fein — having entered the election 10 ahead. the dup emerged with 28 seats, and sinn fein with 27. the parties now have three weeks to establish a government. this report, from our ireland correspondent chris buckler, contains flash photography. if walking out of government was a gamble for sinn

fein, it's paid off. they increased their share of the vote and narrow the gap they increased their share of the vote and narrowed the gap between them and their own coalition partners, the dup. but the result leaves major questions about the future of power—sharing in northern ireland. i said consistently throughout the campaign that sinn fein are not interested in going back to the status quo. that remains the position. the dup need to fundamentally change their ways and be true to the principles of power—sharing if they want to go back into the institutions. sinn fein had called for the dup leader, arlene foster, to step aside as first minister during a public enquiry into a botched green energy scheme. when she refused, sinn fein left the coalition government, forcing powerfrom office. there is work to be done and work to quickly mend the relationship which has been frayed by the discord of this election. but it was stormont‘s opposition

parties that suffered most in this election. i shall make my statement and leave the stage. the leader of the ulster unionists, mike nesbitt, stood down because of their poor performance. it will now be up to the leaders of sinn fein and the dup to draw battle lines in the inevitable negotiations to try and form a government. chris buckler, bbc news, belfast. in thing to belfast live shortly for the information. —— we will be crossing to belfast. the uk may be able to leave the european union without paying a penny. that's the view of constitution experts in the house of lords today. mercedes—benz is to recall around one million cars because they're at risk of catching fire. it's because of a fault found within newer models which can cause them to overheat on starting. it's thought around 75,000 cars in the uk could be affected, but mercedes says the risk to customers is small. the models at fault include some a,

b, c, and e—class cars as well as mercedes' cla, gla and glc vehicles. anyone who's bought a car between 2015 and 2017 could be affected. mercedes say they're aware of 51 fires so far, but that no deaths or injuries had been recorded. it's thought owners will be contacted later this year. reports from france suggest the owner of peugeot and citroen has reached an agreement to buy vauxhall. the deal has been subject to three weeks of talks, but there are concerns about what it could mean for the thousands of vauxhall employees in the uk. andy moore reports. are vauxhall builds the vivaro van at luton. around 70,000 rolled off the production line last year. and at elsemere port about 120,000 vauxhall astras are built every year. as well as those employed directly by gm, thousands more work in the supply chain. there are also 15,000 people in the pension scheme, one of the uk's largest. they have already been told

that they will be no worse off under the new deal. the good news is that the psa group, which owns peugeot and citroen, has promised not to cut anyjobs in the uk before 2020, and the future after that is uncertain. psa's boss carlo tavares has already had talks on the phone with the pm theresa may. there were reassuring words but no promises were made. vauxhall is set to become the second—biggest carmaker after vw. french government has a 14% in this and there are fears french jobs will come ahead of british and german ones. the unite secretary, len mccluskey, has been involved in talks with the psa bosses. he called vauxhall a jewel within the crown of gm's european business. last autumn, the government did a deal to keep nissan in sunderland. the company was promised free access to european markets whatever happened after brexit.

psa may well seek similar assurances. the uk may be able to leave the european union without paying a penny. that's the view of constitution experts in the house of lords today. 0ur political correspondent, ellie price, joins us now from our london newsroom. ellie, it's been reported that the eu might demand a so—called "divorce bill" of billions of pounds. what do peers say about that? if brexit is a divorce, then we are talking about the alimony. we are talking about the eu budget, some of the parts of that that britain has signed for. who is going to pay britain's contribution, contribution to eu staff pensions and so on. there is as a gesture and that this

could be 60 billion euros, there is the suggestion that this could be 60 billion £52 billion, but estimates vary how much that will would end up being. but what this report suggests today is that there is no legal obligation for the british government to pay anything when whaley. for the british government to pay anything. but, and it a big but, there is if we want to continue a relationship with the eu, and a theresa may has made it plain that she wants to have a good trading deal with the eu, the report today suggests that britain needs to have some kind of decent deal sorted with the eu to sort out those ongoing relationships, and it's that political calculation that theresa may will take into account. companies that use confusing small print to mislead customers face

a crackdown in next week's budget. the chancellor will announce plans to help people avoid so—called "subscription traps" by making sure customers are notified before a payment is taken. also, simplifying the small print. citizens advice is to serve the terms and conditions, not realising they are caught in a consumer trap. we will talk to a consumer adviser from money—saving expert. sir bruce forsyth has reportedly returned home, after spending five nights in intensive care. the 89—year—old was being treated for a severe chest infection. in a statement released by his agent, sir bruce said he wanted to "say a special thank you to all the nhs doctors, nurses and staff" for their "kindness and ca re".

if you are feeling delicate after a pub crawl last night then be grateful that you didn't do this pub crawl. it's got to be the world's longest pub crawl. one group of friends has visited 20—thousand boozers over three decades. it started back in wales in 1984. since then, the group's co—founder pete hill has knocked back 46,632 pints. i love how he has got a couple of chasers too. along the way, mr hill's collected tens of thousands of pounds for charity by asking for a £1 donation from each landlord. i bet he could write a good pub review book. i bet he can't remember most of it! the president of sinn fein,

gerry adams, has hailed the success of his party in the northern ireland assembly elections, saying people had voted for an end to "the old status quo". with all the votes counted, sinn fein have ended up with 27 seats, just one behind the democratic unionists. 0ur correspondent, annita mcveigh, joins us from belfast‘s city hall. sinn fein, undoubtedly the big winners in this day after the elections. is huge change in ten months. we've heard from a senior unionist figure

this morning, and we asked about what this might mean for the future and possible return to devolved government. lord trimble said this may take time, and kurt go to direct rule from westminster, which is one of the possible situations that northern ireland politics find itself in now. they have three weeks to elect a new first minister and deputy first minister, but the signs are pointing towards them being unable to do that. to discuss this, we have barney rowe. this election was decided in a photo finish. the dup with 28 seats and sinn fein with 27. 40 dup with 28 seats and sinn fein with 27.40 designated unionists, 39 who

are designated nationalists, so already, one unionist leader resigning. there will be questions about arlene foster, given that a numberof about arlene foster, given that a number of seats has gone down by ten. in terms of votes, just a little over 1000 votes separating the dup and sinn fein. that's how close it is and it could have gone the other way. what does this mean for arlene foster, is her position as leader in doubt? i think some people will undoubtedly raise questions. that often happens when parties have bad elections. sinn fein, witha parties have bad elections. sinn fein, with a spring in its step. the next situation is that of negotiation, as you mentioned, david trimble. i don't think there is any

realistic possibility. there are many shocks in the aftermath of this election result. the ulster unionists increased their boat, could they become a power broker? the green party also held onto those two seats they had. so this could suggest that they punched well above their weight in this election. the alliance leader has been impressive in the leaders debates. i think when we get to a negotiation, if it is left simply to the dup, sinn fein, the two governments, it won't work. there are questions as to whether the british secretary of state should

check these negotiations. but we believe there should be an independent chair. i think david trimble is right that we do need to press a pause button, take time. in many senses, this is the last chance to get this right. the result means the dup has lost its veto, the e—petition of concern, before it collapsed in january, e—petition of concern, before it collapsed injanuary, because sinn fein felt that the dup was at the timing many issues they had, for example, the protection of the irish language. it's these legacy issues that are a big concern, the ones we

we re that are a big concern, the ones we were talking about, historical issues in northern ireland. addressing the past is something we have had consultation and negotiation on for ten years. sol think the people who are trying to negotiate it are too close to it, that's why we need outside an international help. someone who isn't stitched into the fabric of this place, emotionally involved, look at what is realistically achievable and then put that on the table. thank you, barney. in terms of the timetable, the members of the assembly have three weeks, taking us the 27th of march to select a new first minister and deputy first minister. it's looking highly unlikely in that time frame, think eve ryo ne unlikely in that time frame, think everyone agrees, but the secretary of state and the may try to find time for mod discussions to take place rather than taking the drastic

step of returning to direct rule, or even causing another election. now, the weather looked all right in belfast. we've got some mixed fortunes. many of us will see heavy showers at times. prolonged spells of rain across scotland with hill snow too. low pressure, the driving force of the weather. we've got that hill snow across scotland. many central and eastern parts of the country singer good deal of dry weather. some hazy sunshine to be in joint. lighter winds towards the east. 3pm, this rain is pushing

towards the north, hill snow also. the central and eastern parts of england, any rain clearing will mean it looks decent for norwich. heading across england and wales, some brisk winds rolling here throughout the day too. where we have heavy showers, they drift further north eastwards. strong winds across the bar north of scotland. a bit of a respite for some of us, but through the early hours of sunday, the next actual brain works its way in. sunday's weather, dominated by this cold front. low—pressure clearing away from scotland. still some showers, the northern ireland commerce show was, but some drier,

right out weather. england and wales are thing this band of whether providing heavy showers further on in the day. 7—8 in the north, 11—12 celsius, further south. we will see some drier, brighter weather developing. all in all, it's not looking like a bad picture. now — be honest — how many times have you genuinely looked at all the small print before signing up to a free offer? you usually just click you usuallyjust click and pass over it! citizens advice says two thirds of us skim through without reading. it means more of us are finding ourselves automatically signed up to pay for a service when the offer ends, whether that's at the gym, or for tv and music services online. the government is now planning a way

of getting the best out of this. in next week's budget we'll hear more detail on the government's plans to help us avoid these so—called "subscription tra ps". let's talk to guy anker, managing editor at money saving expert. he's in our london newsroom. they want to crack down on what we know as a free trial. it happens with gyms, the tvs and other streaming services, and wider duty clu bs. streaming services, and wider duty clubs. we should check what is coming up after the free trial is over, but companies need to do more. we will often see free trial blazoned across the front and then it will charge you extra per month after. you should check to make sure. if you are someone who hasn't

signed up for something monthly, and you are being charged when you didn't want to be, what rights do you have as a consumer to cancel it. you can cancel it with your bank, bet you may end up in a fight with the company, because the bank is the middleman. some companies allow you to get a refund if you ask. certain companies with creamy and services will allow this. i suggest anyone who has been hit by this unexpected charge to e—mail the company and ask for their money back. often, when we talk about stories like this, there's only so much the government can do. isn't the onus on us to read the small print? there are two ways to look at it. you are absolutely right, we should look, gym

memberships are a classic one. they sign up injanuary, ten months later noticed that 20— £30 is coming out, so noticed that 20— £30 is coming out, so it's a two—way street. noticed that 20— £30 is coming out, so it's a two-way street. this can happen with automatic renewals? car insurance is a classic where the renewable prices more than what he would get in the small print. always check exactly what you will be paying. guy, thank you very much. always read the small print! is that what you do? you are watching brea kfast. what you do? you are watching breakfast. it's time to look at the saturday editions of the papers. nazir afzal is a former cps prosecutor.

thank you forjoining us. he's here to tell us what's caught his eye in the papers this morning. uber have been in the news a lot haven't they? they are arguing their drivers didn't have too have a written exam to demonstrate their knowledge of english. they are now suggesting that after losing the case, 40,000 drivers could lose theirjobs case, 40,000 drivers could lose their jobs because they case, 40,000 drivers could lose theirjobs because they can't pass a language test. the argument against that, is if you need to know how to get from one place to another, you need to know what that looks like. the public expect some contact and communication with their driver. but if you think about it, soon we may

have d riverless if you think about it, soon we may have driverless cars, and then it will be no driver at all. i personally believe that the person you are speaking to should be able to speak english. that this was a written exam. —— but this was a written exam. —— but this was a written exam. —— but this was a written exam. i picked up this story about 0prah written exam. i picked up this story about oprah winfrey, she is now canvassing whether she would stand for president of the united states following the success of donald trump. the view is that she has thought about it for many years. she is now quite serious about it. there are other celebrities as well, kanye west, kim kardashian ‘s. the question is now whether we should

have directly elected leaders in this country? jk rolling, the chuckle brothers, and have we gone toa chuckle brothers, and have we gone to a society that is personality— driven and the policies don't matter any more. a lot of people felt that they knew donald trump because they'd seen him on television for so many years. they've trusted and liked him because they thought of him asa liked him because they thought of him as a friend. if you are in your lounge watching somebody they in, day out, like you two, then i would no doubt vote for you at some point! this is a story about how you go to the car wash but it's not necessarily what you think. i've been working with lawyers regarding

the anti—slavery bill,. there are many people being forced to work in car washes, and nail bars. they don't get the kind of rights that employees should get, overtime, sickness, and there are consequences if you decide not to work on a particular day. i'm glad it is being highlighted and we should always be asking if we are getting something cheap, where is it coming from? with the pressures on our income, people are looking for cheaper options. forced labour is rising its head above the radar and we need to be more concerned and aware of that. you've picked out a story on child protection, justine greening. the

government have made it clear it's not their intention, following a week where comments were made about whether policing can cope with the number of cases being brought. victims require justice. just this costs money. we have spent last year £1 billion of tackling child sex abuse, and we need to stand this at this challenging times. with your prosecuting background, can assist system code? it can, but at the expense of other areas. i think this point was made in the hm rc, that policing isn't as strong as it could have been. some areas of crime are not getting the attention they would normally get. cybercrime isn't getting the attention it needs because child sexual abuse comes first. i've seen horrific types of

crimes, child abuse images, and we've got to address the question is there an alternative to challenging these problems? thank you very much. this is breakfast. we're on bbc one until 10am this morning, when michel rouer takes over in the saturday kitchen. michel, what's on the menu for us? i've just called i'vejust called him michael, haven't i? i believe we've got a biscuit challenge? i've been called a lot worse. 0ur guest this morning is the fabulous jennifer saunders. you are launching the take the biscuit challenge, but comic relief and you are here also to face your food heaven and food health. there was a certain smell when you entered

is! thank you for that. food heaven? the perfect roast chicken. food hell? trike! that was the smell when we entered. tripe! we are doing eight tuscan peasant pot soup, purple sprouting broccoli, garlic, and hopefully a bit of tripe. plenty of that here every morning. what? coming up in the next half hour. we'll meet the men who've braved hunger, fear and the high seas as they recreate the 4,000 mile journey made by captain bligh

and his loyal crew after the mutiny on the bounty. stay with us. headlines coming—up. hello, this is breakfast withjon kay and steph mcgovern. coming up before ten, sarah will have your full weekend weather forecast. catherine will have the sport. but, first, a summary of this morning's main news. the democratic unionist party narrowly remains the largest party in northern ireland after a snap election. the result means they're nowjust one seat ahead of sinn fein, which increased its share

of the vote. the parties now have three weeks to establish a government. reports from france suggest the owner of peugeot and citroen has reached agreement by vauxhall. the deal has been subject to three weeks of talks between general motors and the psa group. the new owners have reportedly promised there will be no ukjob cuts reportedly promised there will be no uk job cuts before 2020. the uk may be able to leave the european union without paying a penny — that's the view of a house of lords committee. its report says britain would not be legally obliged to pay a so—called "divorce bill" of billions of pounds. however, they say it might be politically necessary to make some kind of payment. it's been reported that a brexit bill could amount to billions of pounds. companies that use confusing small print to mislead customers face a crackdown in next week's budget. plans include making sure consumers are notified before a payment is taken and simplifying small print.

citizens advice says two thirds of people skim through terms and conditions without reading them, meaning they get caught in a "subscription trap" — not realising they may have to pay for a service after a free trial has ended. sir bruce forsyth has reportedly returned home, after spending five nights in intensive care. the 89—year—old was being treated for a severe chest infection. in a statement released by his agent, sir bruce said he wanted to "say a special thank you to all the nhs doctors, nurses and staff" for their "kindness and ca re". we wish him well. those are the main stories. kat is here to talk cricket. yes, they have been without the likes of chris

gayle, and not playing west indies, but a great result for england and particularly for eoin morgan. a really good century. holed he looks like he is saying, told you! england beat west indies by 45 runs in the first one—day international in antigua. and captain eoin morgan was inspirational, hitting a century as england set their hosts a victory target of 297. chris woakes and liam plunkett did the damage in the reply, taking four wickets apiece. so england are 1—0 up in the three match series, with the second game tomorrow at the same ground. andy murray said it wasn't the best match — but victory over lucas pouille took him through to the final of the dubai championships. murray admitted his legs were a bit tired after his quarterfinal against philipp kohlschriber, which included a tie—break of over half an hour — but he beat pouille in straight sets and he'll face fernando verdasco in today's final. some big wins this week, so it will be a tricky match, because he is a leftie and he goes for his shots. he has a lot of power,

a lot of talent in his hands, so i'll try, you know, try to dictate as many points as i can, because when he's on the baseline moving the ball around it is very tough. after last weekend's league cup final, it's back to a full weekend of premier league fixtures. liverpool—arsenal at tea—time is the big one. and in the lunchtime kick—off, the winners of that league cup final, manchester united, take on struggling bournemouth, who've gone seven matches without a win in the league. we're excited by this game. i think we can only be positive and look to the future in a positive way to talk certainly, there is no other way to approach this or any other game. we're as confident as we can be with oui’ we're as confident as we can be with our other fixtures. we know we're as confident as we can be with our otherfixtures. we know a we're as confident as we can be with our other fixtures. we know a win we're as confident as we can be with our otherfixtures. we know a win is needed to fully feel good about ourselves and, hopefully, that's not so ourselves and, hopefully, that's not so far away. we know that liverpool plays arsenal, which is one of these weekends where you know for sure that somebody is going to lose a

point, so we should win against bournemouth but bournemouth is a very tricky team, very dangerous team. it's scottish cup quarterfinal day, with rangers against hamilton academical in the 12:30 kick off and hibs versus ayr at three o'clock. the action has resumed at the european indoor athletics championships in belgrade. great britain already have one gold medal, thanks to andrew pozzi, who won the first major title of his career, in the 60—metres hurdles. pozzi has been hit by a series of injuries, so this was a real milestone for him. it means everything. it has been a long, hard road i wasn't all that sure i would get to the level i needed to be at so with grit and determination, i am over the moon. it really is great. laura muir goes for gold in the 1500 metres later, and she's promised to bring her "a game", as she chases a european double. she's also through to the 3,000

metres final tomorrow. jody cundy produced a stunning ride to win the c4 one—kilometre time trial at the para—cycling world championships in los angeles. cundy has never been beaten in this event — it's his 13th world title in a career that also includes four paralympic gold medals on the track. certainly getting harder as i'm getting older, that's for sure, like the recovery afterwards. i don't know whether it's just because i'm getting older or the fact that we had seven weeks to get ready for it. i think both of those things came into play, so when i crossed the line, i but the crowd and i really struggled. the only reason i got up off the floor is because there was the medal presentation. i was pretty out of it for a little while. after all the talk, some of it not too pleasant, finally it's fight night. tony bellew and david haye will go head to head tonight —

you can follow it on bbc 5 live from ten o'clock. bellew, the world cruiserweight champion, is fighting for the first time as a heavyweight. and he was nearly a stone lighter than haye on the scales. he is prepared and ready to perform for the two—round fight. he should never be that weight. he has manufactured heavyweight. he is not really a heavyweight right now. not in a million years. aesthetically there he looks fantastic. when you get close to him he is trembling. he is trembling. and he isjust... he doesn't... he is not as confident and he does not believe the things he is saying. i look at him, he is actually trembling. i was hoping he would look a little bit more physically impressive. you know, some type of remnants of abdominal muscles of some sort, but he looked very smooth, he didn't look good in my opinion, so it doesn't bode well for him. you know, i have knocked out guys a lot bigger, stronger and more athletic than him, so i don't see what he can do other than just get smashed.

i reckon there is a bromance. you think they willjust i reckon there is a bromance. you think they will just hugged afterwards and it will be fine? i'm not so sure! it is all part of the theatre boss and that they have these are stand—offs and press conferences but it must be really ha rd to conferences but it must be really hard to then go back to sitting on the punditry sova side—by—side, having said all those horrible things about each other. they work together? yeah. it is a really big day of sport so if you want to sit on the sofa all day, you could watch bbc two now, the indoor championships in belgrade, all the way through to the fight which is at 10pm tonight. shall we just stay here? we've got loads of tetley's! i've got my coffee it will be fine. cycling on ice.

it's not normally a good idea, but "ice biking" is becoming a booming sport all over the world — especially in scandinavia. now it's arrived in the uk too, so naturally we sent our own mike bushell to give it a go. for some of us, ice skating can be a bit of a challenge. unless you do it regularly, well, it can be quite a bit of pain and humiliation without much gain. but at tamworth, there is now a new way for us all to get up to speed on the ice. under starters orders and ready to go, one of scandinavia's popular new sports has arrived on the ice in the uk as well now. on these ice bikes, back wheels have been replaced. some people are afraid of ice skating and afraid of falling over and giving it a try, this is a lot more inclusive. everyone can give it a go. you haven't got to worry about falling over or anything like that. anyone can do it.

i have been overtaken again. this takes some getting used to at first. especially the way you glide around those corners. when there can be contact in these frantic wheel—to—wheel touches, these slightest nudges will send you into a spin, even more so in these races held across scandinavia and the netherlands in which riders reach speeds of 25 mph. and this sport, which is changing perceptions about cycling on ice, has now spread as far as mexico as well as in the uk. this really works the legs. you are pedalling furiously to try to get up speed and then you are flying around the corner. well, what a work—out. it is very fast, like, you can lose it quite hard on the corners but it is so much fun to do it. it is a bit like a spin class on ice. in scandinavia they can hold the longer races on frozen lakes, and while tamworth doesn't have such icy exposures they do hold a tour de france—style race around the track.

it isa it is a way of exposing you to something new, pushing you out of your comfort zone, maybe, and introducing you to things you have never seen introducing you to things you have never seen before. and no skating skills are required. think wacky races but a bit of ice. it looks more stable than i thought it would! if you are watching us in your pyjamas right now, which is probably very possible, the theory is that getting out of them and getting dressed will actually make you feel better. you have been told! that is what nurses in nottingham believe and they had an idea which they call pj and they had an idea which they call pj paralysis and it has turned into a global movement. they are campaigning and encouraging patients in hospitals to get up and get dressed and get out and about as

early as they possibly can when they are staying in hospital. we are going to talk about this in a minute but rob sissons has been on the wards to find out more. forget your own pyjamas when you come to hospital and you end up in this, nhs uniform, but the concern is that too many patients are spending too long in their pyjamas. they have got a catchphrase for it in the nhs, they call it pj paralysis. yes, at nottingham hospitals they want more patients to get changed into their own clothes. they say they will feel better and also maybe even recover faster as well. 0n ward b49 at the queen's medical centre, they encourage patients to get out of their bedclothes during the day. i love to get dressed. you feel totally different when you're getting dressed and have a bit of fresh clothes on. i have brought some of my own clothes in but i have a problem because of my leg, getting clothes on and off at the moment. these nurses want to see less of what they call pyjama paralysis but stress patients should always have the choice. many patients tell us they feel more

comfortable in their own clothes to mobilise around the ward, to walk to the dining room. but on ward c4, jacqueline has been in hospital three weeks and has been wearing bedclothes. it's cool and comfortable essentially because it's very warm on these wards, yes, and i just want to relax. and not think about anything. it is about changing a culture, and they are so convinced they have started a new wardrobe, some spare donated clothes for any patients that need them. joining us now is ann—marie riley, deputy chief nurse at nottingham university hospitals. she helped get the idea off the ground. good morning. such a simple idea but it looks like it really has made a massive difference. it has. the teams who work with the patients the closest are doing the initiatives, which is fantastic. they are working

very closely with physios and occupational therapists so it is a real tea m occupational therapists so it is a real team effort to see what we can do to keep patients as fit and active as we can. how does it work? what is the theory behind it? active as we can. how does it work? what is the theory behind it7m active as we can. how does it work? what is the theory behind it? if you are in bed for a long time, you can get muscle wastage, it affects your digester, your concentration, so there are lots of benefits of keeping active and that's what we're trying to if a patient can feel able to, we support them. by getting out of bed and changing clothes, that is helping. just getting out of getting dressed. i'm wondering about space because space is limited in hospitals because you as much room for beds as you can add a rouen turns up with suitcases of clothes, you're going to run out of room. that it is conversations with families. we talk about what we're trying to achieve and they bring in

what they can for a few days. there are some patients who don't bring their enclosing and if patients want to try the closeness of collectors, that's fine. what has reaction be like from patients? it has been really positive. if you google a hospital patient, all of the images are of patients in pyjamas or gowns in the bed but sometimes we tell them, you don't have to be in pyjamas, you can be in your own clothes and it is quite empowering to be dressed. i wonder if you are lying in hospital and an assist to you, get your clothes on and get out of bed, you might feel you are trying to be rushed out of the hospital because they want rid of you. that is about how we communicate with patients. if they manage to get home a bit earlier because they haven't wasted as much muscle strength in bed, fantastic, but it is certainly not an edition of trying to push patients out of hospital earlier but that might be one of the benefits we do get. there is so much pressure on you guys at

the moment, we've talked about it loads and it is in the headlines all the time, and are these the type of ideas you guys are thinking of, that don't involve money, it's about little things you can do? yeah, it's a way that the hospital staff can have a positive influence on a patient‘s outcome. they are leading all the work, i'm just a mechanism to be able to share what they are doing, which is fantastic. they are thinking of ways they can help their patient and that will differ on different wards and different hospital. it is really interesting and so simple. thank you very much indeed. good luck with it. it has been picked up all over the world, you've had enquiries? it is all across the uk, it is amazing how fast it has spread. australia, canada, new zealand and it has just started to move into america. thanks for getting out of your pj is to come and see us this morning! and if you are watching in your pyjamas, get out of them. no excuse. let's find out what's happening with

the weather with sarah. we have a serene start ambleside, ca ptu red we have a serene start ambleside, captured by a weather watcher an hour ago. some decent weather today, a bit of sunshine, but not everywhere will be so tranquil during the course of the day. low— pressure during the course of the day. low—pressure is driving the weather. we have a front sitting across scotland, bringing a lot of rain until slow —— scotland, bringing a lot of rain untilslow —— rain scotland, bringing a lot of rain until slow —— rain and kilts no. central and eastern areas will see the best of the dry and bright weather. as we had through the course of the day, further showers rattle in across westerly part of the uk, so the south—west of england, wales, northern ireland and the isle of man. further north, more persistent rain in scotland and hill snow pushing northwards. we will continue to see the heavy showers rattling in across northern ireland, in towards the north—west of england during the afternoon. central and eastern england faring better in terms of sunny, dry weather. 12 or

so terms of sunny, dry weather. 12 or so with light winds, where is further west the winds are driving the heavy, blustery showers across devon, cornwall, wales and the isle of man. this evening, showers and the west drift north eastwards and there will be quieter weather towards the south—east tonight but during the early hours of sunday, the next band into southern and western parts of the country. a wet and windy start to sunday across the bulk of wales and the south—west of england and this weather front will bea england and this weather front will be a real feature of the weather. it will be drifting slowly west to east across england and wales. further north, low—pressure starting to clear away from scotland. for scotland, and improved sort of day, still windy and wet to the far north but fewer showers for scotland and northern ireland. england and wales continue to see wet weather moving eastwards through the course of today, perhaps a bit of snowfall on the highest ground. seven or eight in the north but a milder 11 in the south. the unsettled theme stays

with us into the working week. still some rain around, particularly towards the north and west, but not a complete wash—out. many of us will see drier and brighter weather by tuesday. thank you. have a lovely weekend. we've followed their story from the very start. the four mums who made history by rowing across the atlantic ocean and into the record books. they're known as the yorkshire rows and now their extraordinary tale has been made into a book. breakfast‘s jayne mccubbin has been catching up with them. they were the four ordinary mums who had had an extraordinary dream. and now, to match their place in the record books, a book launch of their very own. let's recap, shall we? this was the moment they set a world record, the moment they conquered an ocean. and what a journey it had been. yorkshire rows had laughed

and danced their way across the atlantic, or so we thought. you never told us at the time, but there had been a huge row on board the boat. was that us? well, i had been rowing nonstop for two hours. i then finished a shift, needed a wee, was in mid—flow on the bucket, and skipper here told me to get off the bucket. when a girl has to go, skipper, a girl has to go. yes, but we were in immediate danger. there are other revelations, too. the secret crush. they have had invitations to the palace, mixed with royalty, they have mixed with celebrity, they have become celebrity.

the documentary about you is winning international film competitions, i hear. yes, yes. so you went to munich. yes, we did. i went to new york, we got a standing ovation. i went to leeds. their story has spread from yorkshire around the world, as has their inspiration, which is why we have arranged a surprise visit for them. do a little turn. these ladies have been inspired to do exactly the same row, after seeing them on breakfast. when i saw them i thought, those ladies lookjust like me, and if they can do it, then there is no reason why i shouldn't do it. these are the ladies who are going to take our record. so it was yorkshire rows passed

the baton to the atlantic ladies. is it time for them to put up their feet? not on your nelly. niki and i are doing a six—day ultramarathon across the sahara desert. are you crazy? no, just got to dream big. got to dream big. nothing can stop them. go yorkshire. we were saying about how it would be cracking to have an eye out with them and jayne mccubbin sent me a text saying, they are the best night out. —— have a night out with them. we are going to stay on the high seas for a bit of an expedition. it's one of the most infamous tales

in maritime history — the mutiny on the bounty. captain william bligh and a handful of loyal men were forced into a tiny open boat and left to die. instead, they managed to navigate 4,000 miles to safety. you would have thought that was the kind of thing you would consign to the history books. nobody is going to wa nt the history books. nobody is going to want to do that, are they? wrong! 230 years later, nine men have set out to recreate their gruelling journey, using similar equipment and the same rations that bligh‘s men struggled with. their challenge has been captured in a new channel 4 programme — let's take a look. when i'm on my deathbed, i want to look back and say i did something amazing. there is nothing normal about being here, nothing. your trouble is, you don't like the truth. there should be a bit more to life than working really hard and then getting smashed. stop jumping off of there! it's dangerous!

stop telling me what to do. come on, lads. bail. to make it through, i think is a huge triumph. we return victors. utter, utter disaster. joining us now are the leader of the expedition, anthony middleton, and cameraman danny etheridge. you two... are you all right? that must have been hard! over to you, dan. what you see is what you get. it was a pretty intense experience. but fun? fun? for me it was fun but like dancers, what you see is what

you get. it was very important that we kept it as authentic as possible so we kept it as authentic as possible so people saw the suffering, the pain, the highs, lows and they are basically trying to keep history alive. let's talk about the history. remind us what is the story you were trying to recreate? basically, back in 1789, trying to recreate? basically, back in1789, captain trying to recreate? basically, back in 1789, captain william bligh was tied up whilst he was asleep and thrown onto a survival boat, a dinky, really, a wooden boat, with 18 others. they went expected to survive and they went off on hms bounty and he was left for dead in the south pacific ocean. when it was suggested that you try to recreate this situation, you must have taken some persuading. at first, i went, give me the boat, some men to put in the boat and i'll get the job done but after two weeks, i was eating my

words. it's interesting. that is the first question you get asked, why on earth would you want to do anything like that? but especially from my perspective, maybe it is a character thing, but i came out from the other perspective and it was an incredible opportunity to be able to document something that happened so many years ago but has gone into folklore and our history and it is an amazing opportunity. what where the highs? er... dig deep! the whole journey? the loans for me... there were times of extreme heat, extreme wet and really bad weather conditions and i think, for me, it is when you are in the thick of it and you can't imagine when it is going to end and you can't see when the end is coming

because you don't know when the weather is going to leave, when things are going to happen, so it is just not knowing. we are seeing the boat you are on but you also get shots of the boat, so there must be another boat and camera crew. drones we re another boat and camera crew. drones were used and there was a safety boat sitting three nautical miles off and that was just there if we had a life—threatening emergency. i made it very clear from the beginning, the safety boat is not there for us, we've got to get into there for us, we've got to get into the mindset of, the only way out of this is to stick together as a team and get to safety, so the safety boat was there but during the storms, the safety but couldn't come in. we couldn't get a helicopter and because the storms were so bad. the safety boat was just there to mark out safety boat was just there to mark our position. i think we should have another look at a clip. this is how your journey started another look at a clip. this is how yourjourney started on day one.

this is real now, guys, let's go. prepare to host the sales. we've been left for dead. a crew of nine strangers. now we all have to survive, basically. ready to raise the jibber? as you set off, your wife was pregnant, wasn't she? so you have that going through your mind. pregnant, wasn't she? so you have that going through your mindlj pregnant, wasn't she? so you have that going through your mind. i very much focused on the task ahead and was quite selfish, really, and on the men. this was such a big, big project and the seriousness of it, i didn't have time to think about it. what did she think? ilife is one in a million. she looked at me and knew i wanted to go off and play and she

said, go on, then. and you called your son. . . said, go on, then. and you called your son... bligh middleton. it is fitting. it gives him something to talk about when he gets a bit older. i've noticed on your wrong, you have got tattooed. yes, tattoos of ships and maybe ron and stuff like that, being ex—military. and maybe ron and stuff like that, being ex-military. thank you for coming in to talk to us. mutinies sta rts coming in to talk to us. mutinies starts on channel 4 on monday at nine 9pm. that's it from us this morning. breakfast will be back tomorrow from six. enjoy the rest of your weekend. goodbye. hgppy happy sailing! this is bbc news. the headlines at 10am. sinn fein wipe out the unionist majority in northern ireland's snap election. the dup are the biggest party but byjust one seat. the two parties now have three weeks
