7:01 am
beat the british record with 63 games unbeaten. and matt has the weather for us. good games unbeaten. and matt has the weatherfor us. good morning. a few showers in the north and west today but foremost a dry and sunny day. more chilli than yesterday. i have the forecast details coming up. —— colder than yesterday. good morning. first, our main story. theresa may‘s most senior minister, damian green, has denied that pornography was found on a computer when his westminster office was raided by police in 2008. the claim — made by a former senior police officer — is reported in the sunday times. mr green said the allegation was completely untrue, and came from an untrustworthy source. more allegations have emerged about the conduct of mps this morning, as our political correspondent iain watson reports. the allegations in the times that pornography was found on a computer in damian green‘s office dates from 2008.
7:02 am
this was during a controversial enquiry into home office leaks which briefly led to mr green‘s arrest. as theresa may‘s second—in—command she would not want to lose him from the cabinet and he has responded robustly to the allegation. in a statement he said that the story was completely untrue and he called it a disreputable political smear. he added that the police have never suggested to him that improper material was found on his parliamentary computer. in turn he accuses the officer in charge of the investigation of breaching his duty to keep the details of an investigation confidential. this weekend, allegations of improper behaviour in and around westminster have been filling the front pages. and even when ministers resign, that is rarely the end of the story. more allegations have emerged about the past behaviour of sir michael fallon. in the observer, a journalist said she informed them of an incident in 2003.
7:03 am
friends of sir michael fallon has not denied the allegation. some of them believe that his ministerial career ended because it could not guarantee there would be no further revelations. 0ur political correspondent susana mendonca is in westminster this morning. these revelations show no sign of going away? more tales are coming out. so we cannot even talk about at this stage. do you think we have reached a peak in this discussion or are we likely to see more? i think we will see more. if you look at what has happened over the last few day, there are new names every day. not just in the conservative party, in the labour party as well. the snp also investigating another —— number of people. just yesterday a snp minister in the scottish parliament
7:04 am
has stood down. what we here today, especially among the scottish newspapers, is that a labour snp says she was sexually assaulted by a labour member. these stories are coming out every day. were getting drip, drip, drip, more information feeding through. the parties spoke about having a new code of concert —— conduct the conservatives and others talk about improving systems to do with grievances. jeremy corbyn will today took about a culture change and then tomorrow we expect all the party leaders will get together and discuss a proper system for dealing with grievances. at the moment, this place does not really have a proper system in place. the royal college of psychiatrists says it‘s found that the number of unfilled consultant posts in england has doubled in the past four years. the college says the shortage is alarming, and it has led to increased waiting times and lower standards of care, as ben ando reports. good health, it is said, is a matter for both body and mind.
7:05 am
but someone with mental health difficulties have to wait months to see a consultant psychiatrist. that, according to figures from the royal college of psychiatrists, is because in england one in ten of those jobs are not filled. it is a scandal that if you need to see a consultant psychiatrist you can not. if you had cancer you would see a cancer specialist quite quickly, within a few weeks. if you needed an operation you would see a surgeon. it is not right that people with mental health problems can not go to see a psychiatrist when they need one. in wales, the number of unfilled post stands at 9%, in scotland 6%, while in northern ireland, just 2% ofjobs are vacant. the department of health says it knows it needs more psychiatrists, especially in the light of an increase in demand for mental health services. that is why it is expanding doctor training places by 25%. it says that is the largest
7:06 am
single increase ever. but training a psychiatrist to co nsulta nt level ta kes over a decade. mental illness is moving up the health agenda but it will be sometime before the supply of psychiatrist can match the increasing demands. we will be talking to the dean of the royal college of psychiatrists inafew the royal college of psychiatrists in a few minutes time. social media giants must do more to stop child sexual exploitation, the home secretary has said, as new government figures show a rise in indecent images of children being reported to the police. writing in the sun on sunday, amber rudd said that companies have a "moral duty" to go "further and faster" in tackling abuse. technology firms insist they‘re doing their utmost to keep their young users safe. president trump has arrived in japan, the first stop on what will be the longest tour of asia by a us president in twenty—five years. mr trump‘s trip comes at a time of heightened tensions with north korea over its nuclear programme and missile tests. after he landed he addressed us troops stationed in the country. no dictator, no regime and no nation
7:07 am
should under maize —— estimate, ever, american resolve. we can speak to our correspondent stephen mcdonnell who is in tokyo. good morning. north korea is expected to dominate the strip no matter where the president goes. here in the japanese capital people we re here in the japanese capital people were wondering what this visit from donald trump will bring. now, in theory, trade could be at the top of theory, trade could be at the top of the agenda. at a whole the belief is that north korea will swamp everything. we heard that donald trump they‘re speaking to american forces at that us air force race. he will do the same thing in south korea. i think that sends a message
7:08 am
in terms of the american in the region. he has also played golf with shinzo abe. apparently they spoke about north korea‘s nuclear weapons and what to do about the. but we had yet to have an announcement. it may be days before we have any type of initiative but it is hard to see, really, what the way forward is given the north korea simply does not want to give up its nuclear deterrent. there‘s been a major purge in the government in saudi arabia. ten royal princes and dozens of former ministers have been detained in a campaign to stamp out corruption. several hours earlier, a missile, apparently fired from neighbouring yemen, was shot down near the capital, riyadh. there are no reports of any casualties. some tv companies based in britain may have to move overseas in the event of a so—called hard brexit. that‘s the view of the commercial broadcasters association, which represents international media networks such as disney and discovery. here‘s our business correspondent, joe lynam. dashmac
7:09 am
sales of beer in britain‘s pubs, bars and restaurants have suffered their biggest fall in five years. the british beer and pub association says tax on beer is too high, and it‘s calling on the chancellor to cut it by a penny in this month‘s budget. it‘s thought the decline could be due to people preferring to drink at home, with sales in supermarkets having overtaken those in pubs. will sing to rush around these days train to get from one place to another as fast as possible. not so in prague. this whole event included a race it was part of an annual festival celebrating the historic b i cycles. festival celebrating the historic bicycles. there is no more of a historic bicycles and that one. wouldn‘t you feel slightly silly on a penny files and, though? itjust
7:10 am
looks so ergonomically ludicrous, you know? what are not even peddling! we have been hearing this morning that the royal college of psychiatrists is raising concerns about the number of roles that are currently left unfilled across england. it says the number of va ca nt post england. it says the number of vacant post has more than doubled over the last quarter years leading to increased waiting times and a lawyer standard of care for some. why are so few young doctors choosing to become psychiatrists? the situation is complex. historically, in the uk, we have a lwa ys historically, in the uk, we have always under produced doctors for a start. and within medicine we have gone on to produce relatively too few psychiatrists and we have never produced enough psychiatrists in this country. so we are very keen to
7:11 am
encourage young dog is to choose psychiatry. it is likely to be back here. i was here a few months ago talking about our choose psychiatry campaign. is it working? the proof will be in the pudding and we will not find out until early next year whether it is working. but in terms of our media reach and in terms of young doctors signing up for membership of free membership for our college, we are more than exceeding our target. were quite positive and people are contacting me to say they have heard of somebody and people are talking about a. it is a fantasticjob. it is quite interesting. it is not easy to get into. everyone knows that doctors are highly trained and it ta kes a doctors are highly trained and it takes a long time to train to become a doctor. psychiatry is towards the higher end. 13 years to become a
7:12 am
consultant. is that the problem? i don‘t think it is the length of training because the length of training because the length of training is necessary. i think the problem there is that the workforce planning in the past, historically, has been quite short term and we have not taken a long—term view. yes, it takes somebody i3 have not taken a long—term view. yes, it takes somebody 13 years the train from scratch to become a co nsulta nt train from scratch to become a consultant psychiatrist. we cannot solve the problem quickly. we need to be thinking about how we are investing for the future. i wonder if to an extent psychiatry has gone out of fashion a little bit. people, they may be more enthusiastic these days with associating themselves with different kinds of therapies and less medicalised way of treating mental health problems with which they wrongly associate psychiatry with. that is true. psychiatry is a a holistic approach to people and you cannot be a good psychiatrist if you cannot be a good psychiatrist if you do not embrace the whole person and you do not think about the very important social aspect of people‘s
7:13 am
situations. here is a tendency for people to think it is just medication. absolutely. and it is an important part of recovery sometimes. we know that antidepressants can save lives, for example. but it is part of a much broader picture. were trained to think holistically about the psychological aspects of people and their social... we now try to catch people, then, is thatjunior doctors who are trying to encourage down the path or are you looking at people even younger, people in otherjobs who could retrain? absolutely. we have a lot of people who come to psychiatry later on in life. they think it is a speciality where life experience is helpful so we are keen to encourage people who may have done degrees in other specialties other subjects, to come and join us. but, yes. we want the message to go out to young people. many people
7:14 am
don‘t realise that psychiatrists go to medical school and people are often confused between psychology —— psychology and psychiatry. were keen to get the message out there to young people but if you want to be a psychiatrist it is a brilliantjob that makes a big difference to the lives of people in terms of recovery. come and join us. that was a good pitch. thank you very much indeed. time now to look at the weather. how is the weather? not bad. a few showers around. a lovely start on the east sussex coast. but what is behind me? one of the shower clouds in south—west england. also part of wales, the midlands, north—west england, northern ireland, northern scotland. that is where the showers are to start the day. heavy ones.
7:15 am
wintry in the higher ground of scotland. the blue disappears during the day. many will avoid showers altogether. a few showers later on towards the yorkshire coast and lincolnshire. then good sunshine. a lovely day in store for most parts of. i think there will be showers limited to 0rkney and shetland. a few showers in the evening and around lincolnshire, yorkshire and developing in parts of suffolk and norfolk. a breezy day in the south—west and in wales. adding to the chill. most areas cool. blue colours on the chart indicates how quickly and widely the showers developed. the saudi town and city centre temperatures. —— these are

7:18 am
themselves to the limit. mark pollock and jonjo bright i‘m no exception. now they are pushing scientific boundaries in search of a cure for paralysis. mark was a commonwealth games rally medallist. after losing his sight, he became the first blind person to trek to the first blind person to trek to the south pole and 2009. the next year, he fell from a second—storey window and was paralysed from the waist down. but he was not going to shirk his biggest challenge yet and has become a global plane in using robotic legs and electrical stimulation of the spine. -- plane. were at the intersection of humans and technology. it is a terrible thing, paralysis, but it has an exciting future. adversity has
7:19 am
brought him and jonjo bright together. jonjo bright was a jockey and then had a spinal injury after being thrown from a horse. he has had to accept he will never walk again. he is up on his feet three times a week thanks to physio. learning to walk like your body has been designed to do. at no point do i ever feel better than after i have been walking with my exoskeleton. my blood pressure feels good, my muscles feel nice and lose. it is healthy for you as well. —— loose. after his accident five years ago, jonjo bright became more aware of what mark had been doing. there is the technology and the science. i believe it can beat paralysis. we are trying to bring it all together. i think that is great. has mark's
7:20 am
story been an inspiration? to everyone, i think. now, story been an inspiration? to everyone, ithink. now, with story been an inspiration? to everyone, i think. now, with the support of his new friend, mark‘s charitable foundation is building on the research carried out on mark himself by building trials for other people. the annual fundraiser, himself by building trials for other people. the annualfundraiser, run in the dark, is taking place in 50 cities worldwide in november. what i am trying to do is to explore a way of finding am trying to do is to explore a way offinding a am trying to do is to explore a way of finding a cure for paralysis. along the way we are meeting scientists working on this. if you ta ke scientists working on this. if you take the blindness and paralysis out of it, it is an exciting time. step—by—step and inch by inch, they are making new ground in their quest. it is a story of determination hope, and strength. chris page, bbc news. remarkable stuff. you‘re watching
7:21 am
brea kfast remarkable stuff. you‘re watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. the former england cricketer, lucy pearson, is now a head teacher, and also a director of the england and wales cricket board. we‘ll ask her what‘s caught her eye in a minute. good morning. good morning. first let‘s look at the front pages. the telegraph says that theresa may is under pressure to disclose what two of her closest allies knew about allegations of harrassment made against senior conservatives. the times says that pornographic material was found on a computer in damian green‘s parliamentary office. mr green has denied the claim, saying "the story is completely untrue and comes from a tainted and untrustworthy source." the sunday express says there will
7:22 am
bea the sunday express says there will be a crackdown on bars in westminster. we will start with this story. i am pleased you picked up on it. nursery rhymes are going out of fashion according to the sunday times. i have several small ones, including an 18—mont—old. i don‘t know if i get the tunes right. this caught my eye. there are concerns around literacy. they talk about learning social history with it. but does jack and jill teach us much? i find many nursery rhymes quite nasty. it is interesting, but i think they are a good and valuable contribution to make in engaging
7:23 am
young people with poetry and rhyme. there are often dark stories behind nursery rhymes. there‘s the one about the plague. and the persecution of catholics, i think, that one is mary, mary, quite contrary. jack and jill is a story about a man falling down a hill and hurting himself. the woman is punished by her mother. i don‘t get the moral. but poetry is something we can introduce to people much earlier on and i agree with the head of 0fsted that we can get the basics better. and repetition is quite big in learning and literacy. there are definitely some dark stories, like humpty dumpty. men spend a year and
7:24 am
a half of their life in the bathroom. one of the famous hair brands, dye brands, for men, have asked men what they like to do in the bathroom. apparently many of them like to strike poses. what about you ? what them like to strike poses. what about you? what are they? shall we see them? i would not dream of showing you. most of the time is spent on the toilet, it would seem. so, they are not necessarily looking at themselves and admiring. shall we move on? graphic novels. they are a p pa re ntly move on? graphic novels. they are apparently very, very big these days. i say a apparently, i am aware of the impact. and notjust comic
7:25 am
books for children. no, the graphic novel is a relatively new form and serious form of literature, actually. this article in the guardian gives a fascinating insight into the value of the graphic novel is something which i think many schools don‘t pursue. many are talking about it being cinematic, and you can get through one in two hours. we are looking at how we engage people in reading, and some purists don‘t like them. —— reading. usually, people say graphic novel and think it is explicit. but... no, it is too early in the morning. it isa it is too early in the morning. it is a novel in cartoon form. it is divided into chapters and so on. they are hugely popular. there is a cult following. in this article they
7:26 am
are talking about the impact. it is are talking about the impact. it is a multimedia format and is usually engaging. i think schools can be doing a lot more to introduce them. is there a benefit? i have a 10—year—old who does not enjoy reading. he does not naturally fall into a book. but he will read a graphic novel. in the past i have been guilty of saying it is not a real book. that is right. but they are visually stunning, i have to say. also, the fact they are done in a format which appeals with children and they can get through weekly. it is so important. they deal with issues you can talk to them about. don‘t put one down if you see a child reading it, we want you to read dickens, something worthy, just get them to engage. it does not have to be in verse. it is a fantastic
7:27 am
thing schools need to look into. to be in verse. it is a fantastic thing schools need to look intom is interesting. i am fighting my child to get him off of the book, diary of a wimpy kid, telling him to read a proper book. and this is interesting as well. england‘s right young rugby star of the moment, the former england international. this article is great. he is such a fantastic model. this is what he is talking about. they deal with what people are uncomfortable about. he has been told "the shadow." people say it is racist. but he says he is nigerian and that is where it came from. he is talking about feeling there are opportunities and we need to see greater diversity in rugby. we see it in cricket and football and other sports. not just
7:28 am
we see it in cricket and football and other sports. notjust as players, coaches, officials. we need engaging and intelligent individuals to say more valuable things. the more role models warehouse, whether it is gender, ethnicity in sport... he takes his responsibilities seriously. he is 23. he recognises he has a responsibility beyond his own game. it is much to his credit. thank you very much. coming up on bbc one, at nine o‘clock is andrew marr. what‘s in store today, andrew? i have a sneaking suspicion it might be all to do with westminster. all of it. i am talking to benjamin netanyahu, of it. i am talking to benjamin neta nyahu, the of it. i am talking to benjamin netanyahu, the israeli prime minister, who is coming in. i am talking to amber rudd, the home secretary, about all of those allegations, certainly, and dawn butler, the labour shadow minister. and 0livia colman as well about her film. her new role as the queen.
7:29 am
very busy at nine o‘clock. film. her new role as the queen. very busy at nine o'clock. thank you, andrew, we will see you then. it was foggy london scenes such as these that led to the birth of impressionism. we‘ll be taking a closer look at a new exhibition on show in the capital. stay with us. headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. here‘s a summary of this morning‘s main stories from bbc news. the first secretary of state, damian green, has rejected allegations by a former senior police officer that pornographic material was found on one of his commons computers. the claims in the sunday times date back to 2008, when mr green‘s offices were raided by police investigating leaked information from the home office. he is currently under investigation after a woman alleged that he made inappropriate advances to her two years ago. meanwhile, a journalist has claimed the former defence secretary michael fallon attempted to kiss her after they had lunch together. writing in the observer, jane merrick said the incident left her feeling
7:30 am
humiliated and ashamed. the royal college of psychiatrists says it‘s found that the number of unfilled consultant posts in england has doubled in the past four years. the college says the shortage is alarming, and it has led to increased waiting times and lower standards of care. the department of health says it has announced the largest ever expansion in doctor training places. social media giants must do more to stop child sexual exploitation, the home secretary has said, as new government figures show a rise in indecent images of children being reported to the police. writing in the sun on sunday, amber rudd said that companies have a "moral duty" to go "further and faster" in tackling abuse. technology firms insist they‘re doing their utmost to keep their young users safe. president trump has arrived injapan, the first stop on what will be the longest tour of asia by a us president in twenty—five years. mr trump‘s trip comes at a time of heightened tensions with north korea over its nuclear
7:31 am
programme and missile tests. he‘s already met the japanese prime minister shinzo abe at a country club for a round of golf. some tv companies based in britain may have to move overseas in the event of a so—called hard brexit. that‘s the view of the commercial broadcasters association, which represents international media networks such as disney and discovery, who could face restrictions on their ability to transmit to anywhere in the eu. the government says it will work to get the right deal for broadcasters. former prime minister gordon brown has said that the uk was misled over former iraqi dictator saddam hussein‘s access to weapons of mass destruction. mr brown says us intelligence, which challenged the extent of iraq‘s wmd stockpile, was not shared with the uk before it joined the iraq war. a seven—year inquiry into the uk‘s involvement in the war found saddam hussein posed "no imminent threat" when the us and uk invaded. most 20—year—old cars with more
7:32 am
than 140,000 miles on the clock would struggle to attract much interest from potential buyers — apart from the odd scrap dealer. but an advert for a 1996 honda accord has been viewed nearly two million times after its american owners pulled out all the stops to make a good impression. film—maker max lanman adopted the style of a luxury car commercial to market his girlfriend‘s humble motor, nicknamed greenie, at a starting price of $1199 orjust under £1100. the highest bid on an online auction site is currently $100,000. we‘re here on the bbc news channel until nine this morning, and coming up in the next hour — they‘re the paintings that marked the birth of impressionism — we‘ll be taking a closer look at london in the fog.
7:33 am
we‘ll hear a story of determination, hope, and strength, in the search for a cure for paralysis. and are tourists falling out of love with paris? all that to come on the bbc news channel. 0n on bbc 0n bbc one day watching match of the day. bear with us. there is still some football to happen here everything else we explain as well. you can learn everything you need to know right here right now. i can tell you everything. start with celtic. they have broken their own record, the longest run of unbeaten
7:34 am
matches. my favourite statistic is that the aggregate scoreline between celtic and the rest of scotland since the last —— start of last season, over 100 goals tojust since the last —— start of last season, over 100 goals to just over 30. celtic‘s unbeaten run in domestic matches now stands at a british record of 63. to break the record they beat stjohnstone, who just happened to be the last team to beat them back in may 2016. 4—0 the score. it means everything to do it is an incredible effort by the players and a wonderful example of professionalism. of creating high standards every day. they have faced everything is football players. elsewhere in the scottish premiership — aberdeen could only draw with hamilton which extends celtic lead at the top — hibs beat dundee two —1, rangers won three nil at home to partick and ross county held on to beat motherwell 3—2. west ham manager slaven bilic says he is under "big pressure" after his side were thrashed 4—1 at home by liverpool
7:35 am
in the premier league.bilic says he‘s nowjust waiting to see what the club will do. thousands of fans left early for the second home game in a row. west ham are nowjust one point above the bottom three. i can‘t talk about application, the attitude and all of that and about determination and the effort. especially not today. the players tried, they gave but it is not working. there is a definite lack of concentration for a few. but... it is not the effort and it is not the application. elsewhere in the premier league, bournemouth left it late but managed a 1—0 win at newcastle, thanks to steve cook‘s injury—time header. eddie howe‘s side move out of the relegation zone. there was also an away victory for burnley at southampton. sam vokes scored the only goal of the match nine minutes from time to move them level on points with chelsea and arsenal. there were also wins for brighton and huddersfield, while leicester drew at stoke. there are four matches in the premier league today. tottenham, who beat real madrid
7:36 am
in the week, host bottom side crystal palace in the early kick—off — before several huge games. manchester city will extend their lead at the top of the table if they beat arsenal at 2:15. at four o‘clockjose mourinho returns to stamford bridge to take on chelsea with manchester united, while second bottom everton host watford. the fa cup first round proper delivered the shocks we were hoping for, with three non—league teams taking down bigger opposition and plenty more upsets along the way. drew savage takes us through the day‘s action. it is partly about the anticipation. you can hope you will be going home saying i was there. but it is far from guaranteed. this was boreham wood, a national league team springing a surprise, coming from behind to defeat blackpool. and now they fancy going for a bit of a run. i look at lincoln and sutton last year. why not? why not. i know we have only defeated blackpool but why not? some team is going to go on a march and i would not mind manager of that team.
7:37 am
in cheltenham town, a day out to remember in every sense of the world. three goals before half—time including this beauty. 4—2, it finished. hereford‘s edgar street ground has been the scene of some famous shots. like their opponents, they are a mixed club formed after predecessors folded. slough town had a great day at the office at gainsborough trinity. a hat—trick helped them win 6—0 away against a team who are one level above them in the league structure. oxford city, of national league south are 56 places below colchester. they have never defeated a league side until this weekend. matt paterson is their hero as they go into the second round for the second time in their history.
7:38 am
ireland are taking on papua new guinea in the rugby league world cup this morning. ireland already have one win after beating italy in their opener. and they took the lead in this match with michael mcilorum crossing over early on. that was converted to give ireland a 6—0 lead before papua new guinea responded with a try of their own. the latest score is 8—6 to papua new guinea. 15 minutes left. ireland need to come back into that one. a few good tries coming up for you now. starting with the barbarians against new zealand at twickenham yesterday. with the game already lost the barbarians decided to do something a bit different place kicking the ball across field. the ball was juggled amongst the players before sam carter broke free to score to end game on a high for the twickenham crowd. the game finished 31 — 22 to new zealand.
7:39 am
meanwhile ulster narrowly beat the southern kings in an amazing 12—try match in port elizabeth in the pro 1a. the score was 36—all with just three minutes remaining, but robbie diack powered over for the visitors to steal the win. elsewhere, edinburgh beat 0spreys and there were wins for cardiff and connacht. to cricket now and both england‘s men and women are in live action action this morning. joe root‘s side are continuing their ashes preparations with their first warm up match against a western australia 11. it‘s just a two—day match. yesterday england posted a score of 349..and in reply today, western australia are 172—for—4. james anderson with a couple of the wickets for england. a tough warmup therefore the england side. and the women are gearing up for their standalone to ashes test as well against australia which sta rts as well against australia which starts on thursday to begin second innings, england have declared 305 — seven. setting australia a target of
7:40 am
306 to win. that is not necessarily the ashes side that they will be meeting. will be interesting to who fa res better. meeting. will be interesting to who fares better. those of them down under. it will be great to see who is better. they have struggled. obviously world champions the recent results have not been great so it is a little iffy. and we looked into the deaf rugby. it is a three test series. another couple of tests are coming up. —— deaf rugby. we cannot find any pictures but there are two more test coming up. the final test will be today —— sunday 12th of november. the important thing is that england defeated the all blacks ian england. you can go and watch
7:41 am

been a time when we have felt u nsafe. birthday celebrations in the basque country. bilbao is beautiful, bilbao is ready for the future. it is really not difficult to see why people fall in love with paris, the city is spectacular and is crammed with iconic sites but last year the french capital saw a drop in visitor numbers of around 1.5 million. the decline in numbers was mostly blamed on high profile terror incidents, including charlie hebdo and the november 2015 attacks at the bataclan and across the city. visits from italians fell by over a quarter in 2016. and a staggering 41% fewerjapanese tourists took trips last year, according to official statistics. all this has had a real impact on the local economy, particularly for businesses

in the areas near the attacks. i have come to meet robin greiner, the manager of l‘ami pierre. his bistro is a short distance from la belle equipe, the restaurant where 19 diners were killed during the attack two years ago. have you changed anything about your business, your approach, since that time? high—profile headlines about the city have led some tourists to take extreme measures to help them feel safe when visiting. i have come to the triangle d‘or, one of the most exclusive areas in paris, to meet george foster,

managing of a company that offers personal bodyguards for clients in cities around the world. what kinds of people do you have on your client list? that can range from foreign royals to individuals from the corporate business to music and film stars. do you ever get your averagejoe wanting your services? it does happen. terrorism is in the forefront of everyone‘s mind so it is something people react to and consequently they require our services. it is not a cheap service but we are very competitive as a company within the sector and you very much get what you pay for. why has your company recently opened a new office in paris? we were experiencing a high volume of enquiries, a personal bodyguard is clearly beyond most of our travel budget and statistically the chance of being involved in a terrorist incident is extremely low but the city is going to great efforts to make tourists feel safe. the mayor‘s office has published a 50—point plan

to lure back tourists. not only do they want to reverse falling numbers but to become the most visited city in the world. it is currently in third place behind bangkok and london. as well as improvements such as better lighting and clean the streets, measures are put in place to improve security across the city. the most high profile project is at the eiffel tower. access is currently restricted by these pretty ugly temporary barriers but construction on a 2.5 metre glass high wall to protect tourists. the walls will be bullet proof and will stop vehicles from being able to drive onto the site as well. other cities are following suit, to protect tourists and other attractions. temporary areas were installed on bridges in london and the spanish government promised to ramp up protection in barcelona. it really does not take long to spot an increased police presence
7:51 am
here in paris. are these measures helping to reassure tourists about their safety? there has not been a time where we felt unsafe and we have seen the green berets. it affects the way i see masses so i tried to avoid them. in the street i have been, you see a lot of military which helps you calm down. as i walk, i feel more comfortable though it is at the back of your mind. millions of euros are being invested in the battle to become the number one tourist attraction. older attractions renovated and new attractions. these will become a state—of—the—art theme park. so far improvements and investments seem to be working. statistics for the first half of 2017 showed paris is on track to reverse the downward statistics. will this be enough to take

the title of most visited city in the world? you can bet bangkok and london will be watching very closely. to spain next and bilbao on its northern coast is celebrating something of an anniversary this year. 20 years ago, one controversial building appeared that would utterly change the town‘s fortunes forever. we sent keith wallace to the basque country to see the birthday celebrations. it‘s been two decades since the guggenheim museum appeared in the spanish port city of bilbao. its arrival kickstarted the transformation of a declining industrial town into the home of big name art and architecture,
7:53 am
and people started coming into hundreds of thousands every year. but first and foremost they came to the guggenheim. from titanium limestone and glass, the building is supposed to look completely different from whichever angle you see it. part of the reason the building looks so striking is that they have clad it in these titanium sheets and we‘re only half a millimetre which creates a kind of rumpled organic effect. they say it looks white fish scales but it also looks like they have wrapped the building in tinfoil. it looks like a round of sandwiches. inside, the permanent collection now host works from artists like andy warhol, jean michel basquiat and pycroft. this is an adventure. i wasn‘t expecting this. where are you taking me. but the favourite of the man who was from this place from the beginning is this.

it reflects very well the spirit of this museum. it is a work which was done specifically for the space. it is also, it gives you the possibility of experience in time as you walk through them. describe to me what it was like in 97 when this was opening. how were you feeling? it was an exciting moment to see the museum was finally going to be opened to the public and be visited. the port was already leaving this space because they were expanding into the harbour this is mostly marginal space, not really open, but it was really open to the city centre and sort of a scar in the middle of the city. what would bilbao be like if you sucked the guggenheim out? difficult to say, a different city for sure, we know who displayed the city and more cosmopolitan and open city. maria worked in a factory

in the pre— guggenheim years but these days she runs free tours around places like the old quarter for no other reason than her love for her city. are you going to do this? i am feeding the frog. this is the game of the frog, a basque thing. on its mouth, don‘t spin it. last one. and, yes, the museum put the name of bilbao on the map. as a thank you to the people here, the museum has been putting on something of a show during its anniversary week. i don‘t think i‘ve ever seen so many people all in one place. it demonstrates how big a deal this has been.
7:56 am
they estimate around half a million people turned out over the four days and in a city of 350,000, that is quite a few extra bodies. come on, let‘s get settled and get the best seats in the house. 0k, 0k. the show traces two decades of the town‘s history from the end of its industry to its rebirth as a centre of creativity, and it features one of its most famous residents. the spider! the mother! the spider! what did the show make you feel about bilbao now? i am really proud of my city and i think that with this kind of show, it is proving that the difficult times... throw in all the factories were closed, right now i can tell
7:57 am
you that bilbao is beautiful, bilbao is ready for the future, but it isn‘t only the guggenheim, the city is much more than the guggenheim, especially the people. that‘s all we have time for, but coming up next week: 100 years since the united states entered the world war i, ade travels south of washington, dc and discovers the ghost fleet of the potomac. and the remains of the ships that helped win the war. it‘s pretty cool to be able to touch something that is a part of american history and this wreck is nearly 100 years old. so dojoin us then if you can and in the meantime don‘t forget you can keep up with us while we are out on the world in real—time by signing up to our social media feeds. details are on the screen. from me and the rest of the team here in paris, goodbye. hello this is breakfast, with rogerjohnson and rachel burden. theresa may‘s most senior minister, damian green, angrily denies an allegation that pornography was found on a computer
