bellew reads david haye with an 11 round stoppage in london. —— beats. and sarah keith lucas has the weather. it isa it is a windy day to come, with spells of rain at times, but an improving picture in scotland and northern ireland. a full forecast in about 15 minutes. there's growing pressure this morning on the prime minister to safeguard the rights of more than three million eu citizens living and working in the uk. at the moment there's no guarantee they'll be allowed to stay after brexit. but a cross—party committee of mps has called on theresa may to clarify their position, rather than waiting for the european union to decide what will happen to british people living on the continent. among the group of ten conservatives, the prominent leave campaigner michael gove. let's speak to our political correspondent, susana mendonca. talk us through this report. it is interesting, given all we've heard this week, especially about
6:02 am
triggering article 50. there is robust language in its report. they say it is unconscionable that people from the eu who have been living here in britain and working here could be left in a situation of such uncertainty. because when article 50 gets triggered britain has two years to leave the eu. they say during that period people from the eu need to know whether or not they can stay here. so they are calling on the prime minister to be clearer about the position of those eu migrants. they also have some calls for the european union to give rights also to british citizens who are living and working in the eu, particularly around their access to healthcare and whether or not their pensions will be paid. i've certainly this report is very much focused on what happens to eu migrants here. there is criticism of the system for getting permanent residency, which they say is not fit for purpose.
6:03 am
they say it would take more than 100 yea rs they say it would take more than 100 years for the home office to process all 3 million eu citizens in the current situation, in terms of how it is set up at the moment. of course all of this comes after the lord's, the house of lords, passed that amendment, saying it wanted the government to confirm the rights of eu citizens. now, the government has been clear on this. they say they wa nt been clear on this. they say they want a reciprocal deal and they aren't going to confirm whether or not eu citizens have those rights until they know whether or not british citizens in the eu would have reciprocal rights. hilary benn, the chair of that committee, says so far there hasn't been enough clarity. the referendum has reached its decision. it is now about how we do the best by people and get the business —— best for britain out of this process. the fact that all members have agreed on this report, saying with one voice to the government that the right thing to
6:04 am
do now is say to the eu citizens who are here, yes, you can stay, we will guarantee that ciudad have to worry any more. i think that is significant and i hope very much the government will reflect on that and agree to take that step. that's the view on brexit. 0f agree to take that step. that's the view on brexit. of course the start of the week now as far as the work for the chancellor is concerned, with the budget on wednesday. he is expected to lay out some plans on how the economy will fare approaching article 50. yes, and he is under a lot of pressure from people who want to see him spending more on things like the nhs, like dealing with social care, the crisis we have in social care, and spall businesses who are worried about the increase in business rates. —— small businesses. as he has written in the sunday times today and he says that he isn't planning to have some sort of spending spree. he criticises those who say he should or more to spend more. he is somebody who we
6:05 am
know wants to balance the books and that means to be very much his focus. thank you for now. more on that later. after 8am, we'll be speaking to the labour mp hilary benn, who chairs the committee for exiting the eu. let's get more on the budget now. and £500 million of additional funding will be made available to help streamline training for teenagers in england in industries such as engineering and manufacturing. philip hammond will announce the plan as part of the biggest shake up of further education in 70 years. here's our education editor bra nwen jeffreys. making cars is a precision business. employers say more high—level technical skills are needed, not just in in but across the world of work. in the budget this week they will get a promise of support, extra money to back a shakeup in technical education. the biggest thing in england in a generation. 15 new routes into work from training, all including maths, english and digital
6:06 am
skills, employers say it is welcome and should help more young people into better paid jobs. it's really were, really important that those who are providing these courses, like colleges, are working closely with businesses in every local area to make sure the courses that are put on match whatjobs are available in the local area, because that's how young people will get the best pathways into skilled work. the chancellor is expected to promise £500 million a year by 2020 to— 2023. that's when 15 new technical training routes will be in place. at further education has seen a 7% real terms cut per student in the last five years. any colleges in england are facing tough financial times. spending on technical education hasn't grown as fast as in schools. the uk has fallen behind other countries. the hope is more young people with high level skills, but there's a lot of catching up to do
6:07 am
ata time there's a lot of catching up to do at a time when being competitive is more important than ever. barack obama has denied accusations by president trump that he ordered the tapping of phones at trump tower in news york during last year's us election. in a series of messages on social media, president trump compared the alleged bugging to the watergate scandal, as our north america correspondent nick byrant reports. it was handshakes and friendly m essa 9 es it was handshakes and friendly messages on inauguration day as donald trump took power from barrick harbour. two men fiercely hostile during the election campaign coming together in a show of presidential and personal stability. —— lara kerr barmer. but this morning donald trump launched an attack on a predecessor that in modern times is com pletely predecessor that in modern times is completely without precedent. terrible, he wrote in a twitter tirade. a pro trump rally outside his towel

6:09 am
national security adviser had to resign last month because of conversations about us sanctions against the kremlin with the same ambassador. donald trump began this week with a widely praised speech on capitol hill which was supposed to reset his presidency, but this is a speedy return to the kind of angry attacks that many think are far from presidential. the prime minister of somalia says more than 100 people have died from hunger in the past two days in a single region, because of drought. the full impact of the drought on the country is still unknown but humanitarian groups have warned of potential famine that could threaten millions of lives. a service will be held today in belgium to mark monday's 30th anniversary of the zeebrugge ferry disaster in which almost 200 people were killed. free herald of enterprise was bound for dover when it capsized just 100 yards from shore when water flooded

in through an open door. a memorial is to be built close to beaches of the d—day landings in northern france to honour the 21,000 british soldiers and sailors who died during the operation in 19114. the government has donated £21 million towards the cost of the monument, which will be unveiled on the 75th this is it. they are on the beach. it was the largest operation of its kind ever mounted. injune, 19114, an estimated 21,000 members of the british armed forces and merchant navy lost their lives as they fought alongside their allies to gain a foothold in occupied europe. in the 70 years since the landings, vetera ns 70 years since the landings, veterans have returned to the normandy beaches to remember the fallen, but there is no permanent memorial to the friends they lost. injune,

the government want the memorial to be completed in time for the 75th anniversary of the landings, in june, 2019. the energy company sse has apologised after some customers were quoted thousands of pounds for a day's gas and electricity. take a look at these pictures. that will be a shock if you saw that when you came down in the morning! they were malfunctioning metres, but the hugely overestimated usage. the company says no customer will be charged for more than £6,000 in that case. imagine how hot your house would be if you did use it as an pounds of gas and electricity! -- £6,000. let's have a look at some of the papers. a story on a lot of the
6:13 am
front pages this morning. this is on the sunday telegraph, that trump accuses 0bama the sunday telegraph, that trump accuses obama of new watergate plots. he took to twitter to accuse barack obama of tapping his phone lines at trump tower during the presidential election. and a rather blurry picture of prince harry in jamaica at a wedding, with his girlfriend. the first time the couple have been seen together at a formal engagement. the sunday times have a picture you may have seen before. a play on the tap and tape. the picture of donald trump who sell tapes his tie together. and the story on the right, the £60 billion of brexit fighting fund. the budget will be announced on wednesday. a lot of speculation about what will be in it. the key to point out there's not a lot of money and big spending is reckless. what's missing from the back pages
6:14 am
the boxing. it happened so late on that the papers don't have time to get it into print. john, you stayed up to watch it last night? that's my commitment to the team. if i'm not here for the 6:30am sport, come and wake me up! we know where you are. under a desk somewhere. talk us through the fight. it was fantastic. it was billed as a mismatch. david haye, a heavyweight, tony bellew stepping up. we thought it would be over in a couple of rounds. david haye's punching might have seen him through early on with a knockout, but it was terrific. david haye on four in the first few rounds and then he got an injury, stumbled, and for the rest of the fight could barely stand up. tony bellew punched himself out trying to knock him out and fight ended when tony bellew eventually
6:15 am
punched haye through the ropes and haye struggled to get back in the ring. he did get back in, but his corner threw in the towel. and david haye has gone to hospital to have that ankle injury looked at? issey 0k? he is going to have an operation. —— is he 0k. 0k? he is going to have an operation. —— is he ok. you know all of the trash talk beforehand, then afterwards they embraced, smiles, i love you, mate, so it is set up for a rematch. you think there will be one? i think so. a rematch. you think there will be one? ithink so. ithink a rematch. you think there will be one? i think so. i think once his ankle injury recovers and the operation heels, i think it is really set up for a rematch. it was a terrific match. because of his injury widow how it would have paid out if we didn't get injured. the quote from tony bellew saying he has secured his kids' future. there is a lot of money on this. he will do well. he will want a rematch and so will haye. they will make millions
6:16 am
out of the paper view. i do know what the figures are yet, but they will make a lot of money. it was entertaining. and you have to work ha rd entertaining. and you have to work hard for those millions. i am not sure i would put myself to 11 rounds with either of them to earn that money! we have an unsettled spell of waste. some rain around. particularly when the weather across south wales and the weather across south wales and the south—west of england. a better picture for northern ireland and scotland. a front heading west to east. bringing rain and some hill snow. at nine o'clock, you can see the scattered showers hanging on across scotland. they should ease
6:17 am
later in the day. rain clearing. rain across parts of north wales, the midlands and south—east will be quite heavy and persistent. i returned to sunshine in the south—east. blustery showers with winds strengthening. we could have gales. the system pushing east, should clear thought southern counties but lingering across north wales. cold underneath the cloud and rain. the scotland and northern ireland, showers petering out. this evening and overnight, rain clearing from the east. looking quite cold. misty patches and fog. the next band of rain coming in on monday. the rain looks like it will slip down
6:18 am
towards northern fronts fairly quickly. —— france. heading through into the new working week, monday night a ridge of high pressure, looking quite to start off tuesday. an unsettled picture all in all. for many central and eastern areas, choose that looks dry. it is an u nsettled choose that looks dry. it is an unsettled picture really add to the next couple of days. some rain around but some will see some dry and brighter weather. not as chilly exclamation we will be back with the summary of all the news but now it is time for the film review. hello and welcome to
6:19 am
the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, as ever, is mark kermode. hello, mark — what's in store? so a very mixed bag — we have logan, a superhero movie that isn't really a superhero movie. viceroy‘s house, a very handsome period drama from gurinder chadha. and certain women, the latest low—key offering from kelly reichardt. so wolverine, back with us. yeah, although in a way that kind of missells it. so this is basically a superhero movie that isn't about superheroes — it's about ageing, and it's about arthritis, and it's about growing old, and losing your memory. wow, i am already surprised! yeah, it is an x—men movie for people who prefer westerns to comic book adaptations. set in a not—too—distant future in which huthackman‘s titular character, wolverine obviously, is making a living as a limo driver. he is looking wretched,
6:20 am
drinks, has bloodshot eyes, and he spends his time looking after patrick stewart's charles xavier, who now has what is descibed as a degenerative brain disease in the most dangerous brain in the world. they are living off the grid, trying to stay under the radar, keep themselves to themselves — or at least that is what they're trying to do. here's a clip. hey, carl, it looks like mr munson hired some muscle. looks that way. he's a friend of mine. friend with a big mouth. i hear that a lot. then you probably hear this too. rifle cocked now, the interesting thing about the film is often with the superhero comic book franchises, you know exactly where you are. this is such a different beast — the plot involves a young girl who logan finds himself having to take care of,
6:21 am
although initially he doesn't want to. he is forced to do so by circumstances. the real themes of the film are violence and redemption — as i said there is a big western theme. it refers again and again to shane, and i'm thinking of movies like clint eastwood's unforgiven. there is a line that recurs time and time again, "there is no living with the killing." some of the violence does involve a young child, it is bloody and brutal and genuinely properly shocking. like deadpool — this is a 15 certificate — it is not a film for kids. but unlike deadpool, it is played completely straight — it is not played for goofy laughs. it is played as a film about what happens when you get old, when you are looking back and trying to make sense of your life, when you are trying to find some kind of redemption in a world which is fundamentally broken. as i said, when you talk about those things, the western theme keeps coming back. yes, there are action themes, there is violence, quite surprising violence... and you know me — that is the bit that puts me off, to be honest. but it has context and meaning, and most importantly it has pain — when it happens it feels painful,
6:22 am
it doesn't just feel exciting. it feels like there is genuine pain. and when you think that we have seen so many of these kind of movies in which entire cities are just sort of merrily wiped out and you don't feel anything at all — in this you do. no one was more surprised than me. it is directed by james mangold, obviously, and i think it's a really fine piece of work that stands on its own, and you don't have to have seen or loved the other films to get it and understand it. you should give it a go, because i think it's really interesting. 0k. the next one i want to like, because i really like gurinder chadha's work, as a rule. yes, and i do like it — it is a very handsome period drama which blends personal history and politics. it's the story of the partition of india in 1947, so what you have is hugh bonneville and gillian anderson as lord and lady mountbatten. he has been sent there is the last viceroy to oversee the peaceful transfer of power. the story is told through the prism of the people who are working in the household, so whilst upstairs you have dignitaries and politicians arguing about the fate of nations,
6:23 am
downstairs you have all these different characters whose fates seem to reflect those of the larger environment. there's a romeo and juliet romance at the heart of it, which i have to say was the one false move — itjust never really gelled for me. what i think does work, chadha was very clear that she wanted to make a populist drama, that would work for a mainstream multiplex audience, that would address a very difficult and complex subject and do so in a way that was comprehensible, accessible, and also entertaining, and to her great credit i think she has done that. i know that some people have complained that the film perhaps plays to the gallery, it is too simple, broad strokes characters, but i think that she has understood what the audience needs, and i think she has managed to tell a complicated story in a way which is accessible. obviously it is a particular take on that story, but i was surprisingly charmed as well, because it is also a movie that has that wry cheeky wit, which are a lot of her stuff does, even among these complex historical events which are so complex, and often so brutal. certain women — i don't know much about it, but quite a cast. it is great — kelly reichardt,
6:24 am
of course, the director, gave us meek‘s cutoff and wendy and lucy — so essentially this is a triptych of tales by maile meloy, and they are put together in one film, and the stories intertwine, but only slightly. in one of them, laura dern is a lawyer who has a client who has an old case he keeps coming back to, and she can't move on from it. in another, michelle williams is attempting to build a dream house while her life and marriage is falling apart. in the third, kristen stewart and lily gladstone are a teacher and a rancher respectively who strike up an unlikely friendship. here is a clip. i took this job before i finished law school. i wanted anyjob — i was afraid of my loans coming through. i didn't know where belfry was. i guess i was thinking about belgrave, which is a lot closer.
6:25 am
so stupid. then i got a realjob. and they are letting me do this because they think it is funny. the pass is icy — it takes me four hours to get here, it is going to take me four hours to get back. i have to work in the morning. now, you can tell from that, the tone of the film seems to be... remember that famous quote — waiting for godot was a play in which nothing happens twice? you could say that this is a film in which nothing happens three times. but it is in the nothing—happening an awful lot is happening. and a lot of it is to do with, as you saw in that, one character is talking and another character is looking. but it is the looks which are actually saying more than the dialogue, and what i like about this, kelly reichardt is a film—maker who works on mood, long shots, you believe in these characters absolutely, and the story is not
6:26 am
evident immediately — you have to give it time, let it settle. it is a film i want to see again. the performances are fantastically naturalistic — you do believe in the characters, sometimes to the point where you think, i am going to stay with them for a while, even though i am not entirely sure where the narrative thread is going. over the course of the drama, it does have a cumulative affect, but so much of it is to do with the tone of the atmosphere, you know, the way in which people look at each other, the environment in which they find themselves, the isolation, and the way in which they do or do not relate to the other characters around them and the landscape. that is a very hard sell, because you are not going to put that on a movie poster — a film about the way you may or may not relate to the people and the landscape around you! but it is a film that you have to meet halfway. but she is a superb director, and they are great performances. it sounds absolutely intriguing to me, and that put it on my list, for sure. good.
6:27 am
and can there be any doubt about film of the week? no — moonlight is the best thing in cinemas at the moment, the best thing i have seen in a very long time. it won the best picture 0scar, and the remarkable thing — when was the last time that the best film of the year actually won the oscar for best film of the year? finally, it happened! it is so brilliant that it did — i think barryjenkins has done a brilliantjob, a coming—of—age story, a triptych, three periods in the same character's life, played by three different actors. each one chaptered according to the name of the character. it is about a tough life, but it has got immense beauty, a wonderful soundtrack. it looks fabulous, you really believe in the characters, it is tactile, sensuous and strange and adventurous, and everything that you want a movie to be. and everything about it kind of says, this is great, there's no way this will win big at the awards — and it did, and it is such a brilliant thing. i am so pleased for barryjenkins. he is still a very young director, and you don't realise that, in movie terms, it was made on a very small budget. absolutely tiny, and again it is one of those demonstrations
6:28 am
that it is not about your resources — it is about passion, commitment and talent. this is a low—budget movie, when you compare what it is up against, and it is really wonderful. you talk about passion and it commitment — that takes us to our dvd. ken loach. i, daniel blake, and this was overlooked by the academy, and it is a great shame that it was, because it was unbelievably powerful — directed by ken loach, wonderful script, great performances by davejohns and hayley squires, and a story which basically has a message, the message being that bureaucracy and bureaucratic inefficiency can be used as a tool of repression. that doesn't sound like it will make for great drama, but it does — it is about characters that you know and like and care about, and it has got a sequence that has been referred to many times — the food bank sequence — that i think is one of the most perfect pieces of film—making, understated film—making. the cameras stay a long way away from the character, they watch the action play out in real time, and it is so powerful.
6:29 am
so moving. it really is. it is notjust that it has a message, the way in which tells the story is powerful. i thinkjust as a piece of film—making, it is really brilliant. i, daniel blake is out on dvd — if you don't want to go to the cinema this week, stay at home and watch that, and possibly sob! it is a good week in all its variety. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/film. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. and that is it for this week. thanks for watching. see you next time. hello, this is breakfast, with ben thompson and katherine downes. coming up before 7am, sarah will be here with a roundup of the weather. but first, a summary of this morning's main news. the prime minister is facing growing pressure to safeguard the rights of more than three million eu citizens living and working
6:30 am
in the uk. a cross—party committee of mps has called on theresa may to clarify now whether they'll be allowed to stay after brexit, rather than first waiting for the eu to decide what will happen to british people living on the continent. the referendum has reached its decision. it's now about how we do the best by people and get the best outcome for britain in these negotiations. the fact that all members have agreed on this report, saying with one voice to the government that the right thing to do now is to say to the european citizens who are here, "yes, you can stay. "we will guarantee that, so you don't have to "worry any more." i think that is significant and i hope very much the government will reflect on that and agree to take that step. the chancellor has described as "reckless" calls for him to increase spending in his first budget on wednesday. writing in the sunday times, philip hammond said the economy had proven to be robust, but there was still a need for discipline as the country
6:31 am
prepares for brexit. as part of this week's budget, the chancellor will also announce plans for £500 million in additionalfunding for the technical training for 16—19—year—olds. the money will be used to replace thousands of qualifications with training tailored to the needs of different industries, such as engineering and manufacturing. barack obama has strongly denied accusations by president trump that he ordered phones at trump tower in new york to be tapped during last year's us election. in a series of messages on social media, donald trump compared the alleged bugging to the watergate scandal and described obama as a "sick man". china's annual parliamentary session has opened in beijing, with the communist party leadership setting out its priorities for the coming year. high on the agenda will be the state of the chinese economy, as well as challenges the country faces in tackling air pollution. a memorial is to be built close to the beaches of the d—day landings

in northern france to honour the thousands of british soldiers and sailors who died during the operation in 1944. the government has donated £21 million towards the cost of the monument, which will be unveiled on the 75th anniversary of d—day in 2019. we will be hearing more about the plans for that memorial later. now it is early morning forjohn, who stayed up last night to watch the boxing. he probably went to bed at midnight? about that. i finished at about 11:30pm and had to go to sleep quickly. it really was a terrific fight and nobody expected it. tony bellew arms aloft after beating david haye. many thought it would be a bit ofa david haye. many thought it would be a bit of a mismatch. tony bellew upset all the odds to win in a classic at the o2 arena last night. david haye was the firm
6:33 am
favourite coming into it, but he injured his ankle in the sixth round and could only really throw a left. his corner threw in the towel in the 11th round, when bellew punched haye through the ropes. he tried to get back through, but the towel came flying in. after all the trash talk in the build up, the pair embraced and were all smiles after the fight, which is set up nicely for a rematch. i've just i'vejust done i've just done what wladimir klitschko couldn't do. i've just done what are world's greatest heavyweight champions couldn't do. tonight i claim my glory. he was hurt, genuinely hurt, in a bad way. soi hurt, genuinely hurt, in a bad way. so i carried him. his weight was on me. he is a heavy man. ifelt the weight of that 16 stone as i carried him. it is all water under the bridge. we shook hands. unhappy i've come through the night. happy we both go home safe and unhappy i've come to this arena again. england's women snatched a dramatic
6:34 am
victory over the world champions usa in their second match of the she believes cup in newjersey. the only goal of the game came in the 89th minute from substitute ellen white to keep alive the lionesses hopes in the tournament. liverpool have moved up to third in the premier league after beating arsenal at anfield. goals weren't the main talking points though yesterday, as nick parrot explains. the futures of arsene wenger and alexis sanchez at arsenal remain uncertain and won't have been helped by the manager leaving out his star player against liverpool. he claimed it was a tactical decision, but it soon backfired. eight minutes gone! sardi and manet made it 2—0 before half—time,
6:35 am
calling on arsene wenger to call on his most potent striker. out comes the keeper! sanchez, almost immediate! the change in approach was too little too late. and rub —— salt was robbed into the wounds. was too little too late. and rub —— salt was robbed into the woundslj don't deny that alex sanchez is a great player. i bought him and i a lwa ys great player. i bought him and i always play him. a decision like thatis always play him. a decision like that is not easy to make, but you have to stand up for it. goals weren't the talking point at old trafford either, as manchester united failed to beat bournemouth in a bruising encounter. for the record marcus robbo gave united lead midway through. josh king equalised after philjames brought down another player. but the match will be remanded for the altercations that went unpunished. that was a challenge on the wayne rooney and
6:36 am
you can see that the boot catches ibrahimovic‘s head and he knew who it was and thrust his elbow back into the face of him. he has to go, but he hasn't. hejumped into my elbow. many times in these occasions it happens and i hope he didn't get injured. everything is highlighted more than others, but i enjoyed it. it was a good battle. obviously you know what you will come up against. leicester city secured consecutive league wins for the first time this season after coming from behind to beat hull city 3—1. riyad mahrez scored his first league goal since november, listing craig shakespeare's hopes november, listing craig sha kespeare's hopes of november, listing craig shakespeare's hopes of getting the manager'sjob after the shakespeare's hopes of getting the manager's job after the club sacked claudio ranieri. it turned out to be all is well that ends well at the stadium. the quote at the weekend, he jumped into my elbow! the other results in the premier league saw middlesbrough drop into the relegation zone after losing at stoke. a late goal gave swansea an important win over burnley.

6:41 am
reclaim his world number one ranking depending on what happens today. he finished his round on ten under par. that's two shots behind the leader. but take a look at this coming up. a brilliant hole in one from american justin thomas. an ace at the 13th. we will have a look at that later, it is worth watching. that's all your sport for now. it has been a busy week. we didn't get to see the hole in one! you will. you will. you said it was an absolute pitch! t is! you've got to keep them wanting more. —— peach. what a tease. we want to see that. we will do our best! it was one of the worst maritime tragedies in living memory. the zeebrugge disaster began within minutes of the free herald of enterprise ferry leaving port. she capsized shortly afterwards,
6:42 am
leaving almost 200 people dead. 30 years on, the victims will be remembered at a memorial service in belgium today. we'll discuss this in more detail in a moment, but first let's look back at that fateful day in 1987. every survivor tells of the great speed at which the disaster overtook her. without warning she tilted, first gently, then violently. that's reminder of what happened.
6:43 am
joining us now is stuart rivers, the chief executive officer of sailors' society, which supports survivors and the families of the victims. hard to believe it is 30 years since the awful disaster. we got a taste of what happened, but on us through what went on and what happened afterwards, that prolonged investigation that seemed to get nowhere. well, actually, the incident itself happened very quickly. as you've reported, in 90 seconds the ship capsized. but of course then there would have been a period of confusion, panic and quite terrifying situations. you know, the rescue operation went ahead. it is interesting, you say that the investigation took forever, but actually it was far quicker than many other investigations. it really
6:44 am
got to the cause of some of the issues very quickly in that sense. so, yes, it was a terrifying situation. what changed as a result? the fundamental problem was to do with the doors. they weren't closed properly and water got onto the ship. what has changed since? there we re ship. what has changed since? there were a lot of lessons. absolutely. obviously it has had an impact on the way ships are designed. security features that they have. it is also -- it features that they have. it is also —— it has also led to the marine accident investigation bureau, which came two years later. so apart from safety improving, procedural safety has improved and the way safety standards is set is far more rigourous now. you still work closely with the families of people who lost their relatives in the disaster. 30 years on, the grief i imagine is still pretty raw? disaster. 30 years on, the grief i imagine is still pretty raw7m
6:45 am
disaster. 30 years on, the grief i imagine is still pretty raw? it is. for many of these people they actually take comfort in the fact that they come together every year and have done since this disaster. for this annual service. they comfort each other. so it is still raw, but i think it's a good opportunity for people to just deal with that grief. the case collapsed because of a lack of evidence, has that been a challenge for the families that no one was held accountable for the disaster? what is clear is there we re disaster? what is clear is there were many failings and they did not live with one particular person or organisation but in terms of the families, where they are now, is very reflective of the incident. some of them very reflective of the incident. some of them are very reflective of the incident. some of them are happy very reflective of the incident. some of them are happy to very reflective of the incident. some of them are happy to talk very reflective of the incident. some of them are happy to talk about their experience and, of course, the
6:46 am
society's experience was very close to theirs. we were providing assistance both there and in dover. it isa assistance both there and in dover. it is a close relationship we have with these families. take us back to that day, what do you remember? so vivid, i remember seeing that picture in the news coverage. it was one of the worst maritime disaster is since the world but no one was prosecuted, no one has been held accountable, with that in mind what will go through the minds of families? we had five chaplains working at dover zeebrugge. for many months there would have been a sense of shock and people coming to terms with what happened. this is not to
6:47 am
say the biggest maritime disaster in terms of loss of lives since 1914. it was a significant event. if you look at some of the individual stories, you get a sense of the raw emotions. there was a young man, 17 yea rs emotions. there was a young man, 17 years old, just finished maritime academy and it was his first placement. he had been in thejob two weeks and he lost his life. 0therfamilies, some two weeks and he lost his life. other families, some recall two weeks and he lost his life. 0therfamilies, some recall how people gave their lives for others in trying to save people within the ship. and also those people who were perhaps distant from these but were suddenly drawn into the situation because of a relative losing their lives. we should not forget that
6:48 am
this affected passengers, families, crew, port workers in both paws. it had a devastating effect on the community. —— ports. had a devastating effect on the community. -- ports. thank you so much for coming to talk to us. let's check on what the weather is doing this we have some wet weather on the clouds. not everyone is going to see it but there will be some rain around and breezy conditions particularly in wales. a frontal system dominating, moving west across much of england and wales. the scotland and northern ireland, the low pressure tending to clear towards the north. some showers across scotland. they should be easing away later in the day. wet
6:49 am
weather to start the day in northern ireland but an improving picture. some sunshine in the north of england. the bulk of cloud and rain and sleet and snow over the highest ground here. towards the south—west, we are looking at showers finding m, we are looking at showers finding in, some heavy and the last three. the winds picking up across the south—west of england. 50— 60 mph. towards midlands and wales, the rain not clearing in a hurry. further north, a better day to come for scotla nd north, a better day to come for scotland and northern ireland. temperatures at 7— 11 degrees. rain clearing towards the east, like the winds some missed and is forming and perhaps a touch of frost. through the hours of monday morning, and next band of rain arrives from the
6:50 am
south—west. it looks like it is likely to have a glancing blow three wales before clearing into northern france. for the rest of uk, another bad day. some showers. then a slight slightly quieter period. can fear conveyor belt of low pressure arriving from the west. —— conveyor. u nsettled arriving from the west. —— conveyor. unsettled through the next two days, spells of rain, and temperatures as we head towards wednesdays heading towards 14 degrees. manchester i imagine will be characteristically soggy. it was all right this morning. more than 90% of people around the world live in areas where the air they breathe is so polluted it doesn't meet air quality standards. and in many areas, air pollution continues to get worse
6:51 am
rather than better. over the next week, as part of the bbc‘s so i can breathe series, we'll be looking at what is being done to tackle the problem. but what exactly is air pollution? our environment correspondent david shukman has been taking a look. air pollution, what exactly is it and how bad is it for you? most of it comes from traffic, nitrogen dioxide and tiny particles from exhaust fumes. you cannot actually see some of the most damaging pollution, it is called pm 2.5 and involves particles that are microscopically small. let's use virtual reality to visualise them. less tha n virtual reality to visualise them. less than 2.5 micro and across so you could fit 400 in a single millimetre. by comparison, a grain
6:52 am
of sand is 20 times larger. now this matters because if particles at a small enough, they can get into the lungs but also into the bloodstream. the largest particles are caught in the nose but the very smallest can pass through the nose and connect the nose to the rain and it is possible but not confirmed that they could break the connection is between rain cells leading to dementia, though this is not proven. uk scientists estimate at pollution cuts british lives by an average of six months. it is linked to heart attack, lung disease and asthma. pollution limits are breached by 23 over 28 countries in the eu and the government here is under legal pressure to come up with a new clear a plan next month. bbc‘s environment correspondent,
6:53 am
david shukman with that report. there'll be lots more on the subject of air pollution across the bbc this week and you can find out more by searching so i can breathe online. tomorrow on breakfast, we'll be looking at how one school is working to reduce emissions during the school run. dus suffer from fom0? dus sufferfrom fom0? it is dus suffer from fom0? it is the fear of missing out. are you a fair you will miss out on something if you leave your phone at home? officials at public health england are so concerned about its impact on young people, they're encouraging schools to address the issue in lessons, along with body image worries and stress. let's discuss this with agony aunt and parenting advisor, suzie hayman, whojoins us now. good morning. you have written a book about fom0 and it is not a new thing. can you blame it on social
6:54 am
media but it has been going on for a long, long time. you cannot blame it on that but you can perhaps say it makes it worse. people are much more aware of the idea that there is so much going on. it is interesting, when i wrote my book i wrote it with a child psychologist. we started writing this book for parents on the digital technology. how to deal with cyber bullying, fomo. we started writing it as a warning, how to stop it, how to control your children then went on found the enormous possibilities of being on social media and all these sorts of things so media and all these sorts of things so the book ended up saying it is about picking and choosing an understanding. you do not say to your children, don't be so stupid, don't worry, you must put that down,
6:55 am
you say, let's talk about it. what are you fearing you are missing out on? what is the worst thing that can happen? and you allow your child to act critically. you have it, i have it. we have to examine in ourselves how we behave in front of our children and what is the message given. that is the message from health authorities. about putting it into context. if you are looking at your phone at home, on the bus, you assume everyone is having a wonderful time. in assume everyone is having a wonderfultime. in a sense, you always have. people do think everybody else is having a wonderful time but it seems you have evidence because you have photographs. but you do not see them taking
6:56 am
photographs of themselves at sitting at home being miserable. you are putting up the stuff that makes you look good and feel good. what you are looking for is affirmation and acceptance. that is what we are looking for. it is maybe about helping young people realise this is what we are about but may be habitable as a conversation rather than putting up doctors she is. do you think the lesson to make a difference? winner we do it we post the best of ourselves but it does not translate when we look at somebody else and think that is the best of their day all that is a fake representation, will the lessons work? the point of the lessons is not to lecture but to help people think it through. it is to help people analyse what is going on, think about why i do these things, why other people do these things. if
6:57 am
you think it through and discuss it, it will make a tremendous difference. do you think schools are the best place to do this? like you say, at schools children are not on the phone posting pictures, it is after—school that post pictures of what they are doing with their friends, with their lives stop do you think school is the best place? i think it has to be schools and parents helping model, you need to show the way as a parent, you need to not be on your phone all the time. screens all off an hour before bedtime, no screens in the bedroom. you have to model that. if you are having problems with that, you have to think that through. we still thinks of lessons at being a lecture. it is not about that comment is about sitting down and
6:58 am
working out what can be different. think of it perhaps not so much as do not post, that worry about being left out, it is about give your friends the gift of having to explain to you what they have been up explain to you what they have been up to you. we will talk more later. presenting the other side of that, the reality. malmsey mum and all those people. there is an alternative out there. still to come on it first, and in—depth look in the sunday papers. headlines are coming up next. good morning. it's sunday 5th march. also ahead: the chancellor, phillip hammond, says there'll be no spending spree
