there are lots years, the record. there are lots more immunosuppressant available now which help to stop my heart from being rejected, i did rejected after about three months, but they saved my life again at the hospital, so thatis my life again at the hospital, so that is always a bit of a worry, but the after—care is amazing and it is all free with the national health service, so it is something we should really be grateful for in this country. james comey really good to speak to you. we wish you all the very best. keep playing with that —— james, really good to speak to. and the little boy in the report, hopefully he will make a really good recovery. all the best to you. thank you, goodbye. children will be able to get access to mental health support under plans announced by the government. campaigners say the measures are welcome but long overdue. campaigners say the measures are welcome but long overduelj campaigners say the measures are welcome but long overdue. i did not have any therapy, it was just to
4:31 pm
talk about things. one young person's story of suffering from an eating disorder and depression for five years. she waited two years before she got help. five years. she waited two years before she got helplj five years. she waited two years before she got help. i was never properly treated for the mental side. they does concentrated on my physical side and do not treat anything else and they wonder why it keeps happening again and i have to go into hospital. the hospital she was sent to was hundreds of miles away, a nightmare scenario which the government now promises no families should face. so ministers, chatting here with pupils in east london, are publishing plans to provide support in schools for so many children who face issues regarding their mental well—being. teachers will be trained at spotting problems early. i put excessive pressure on myself wanting to achieve high grades. and there will be new mental health support teams, the idea to bridge the gap between schools and the nhs. if your child has a mental health issue, we want to make sure you get the help much,
4:32 pm
much earlier than happens at the moment, and if possible, we want to work within the schools system, to prevent that condition deteriorating. but labour claims mental health care in england has been desecrated by cuts. services are really overstretched and children are waiting years for that vital support that they need. this is a drop in the ocean and paired with the cuts that many services have faced. the government is facing up to the scale of the issue. it now hopes schools can spot problems and address them early. rail passengers travelling to and from the west country from london's euston station have been told not to travel after all train lines from the station were closed. the disruption has been caused by emergency repairs which were needed after overhead power lines came down. the line has now reopened but with
4:33 pm
severe delays. time for the weather forecast. a lot of twists and turns for the week ahead, but it all started on a fairly quiet and mundane note. it was a quiet day today with large areas of cloud, some sunshine as well. this evening and overnight central and eastern areas will receive the lion's share of the clear spells. the odd spot of rain further west, but temperatures should hold above freezing. monday is not bad, some early fog in east anglia and the south—east. thick fog could produce the odd bit of rain, but it is largely dry with spells of sunshine and temperatures 8—11. but as we look deeper into the week after that quiet start, the middle of the week will bring some very wet
4:34 pm
and windy weather and for the end of the week it will turn much colder and with that cold air some of us will get to see some snow. hello, this is bbc news with annita mcveigh. the headlines: all four board members of the government's social mobility commission have resigned in protest at what they see as a lack of progress towards a fairer britain. the government, probably for understandable reasons, is focused on brexit and seems to lack the bandwith to be able to translate the rhetoric of healing social division and promoting social justice into reality. donald trump hits out at the fbi in a series of angry tweets, claiming the agency's reputation was in tatters and "the worst in history". the government sets out plans to make it easierfor children in england to get access to mental health services.
4:35 pm
schools and colleges will be encouraged to appoint staff who'll work with the nhs to provide specialist support. it's 50 years since the world's first successful heart transplant. the surgery revolutionised the way heart disease is treated. now on bbc news in an exclusive interview, the bbc catches up with former fi world champion nico rosberg to hear about his plans for the future and his take on this year's fi championship. there has been a big shock in the world of formula one. driver nico rosberg, who finally achieved his lifetime's ambition to win the world championship only last weekend, has announced he is retiring from the sport. his announcement coming just five days after he won the title for the first time, holding off team—mate lewis hamilton in what was a thrilling championship that went right down to the final race. # when i am down, you pick me up again, you pick it up again.
4:36 pm
# you are fun, too much fun, i have the feeling that you are changing my mind. 12 months ago after achieving my childhood dream and winning the formula one world championship i decided to call it a day. this is the story of my past year and what i have been up to and of course also what i want to achieve in the future. there is a security group going on here already. he is a wonderful dad really. really sweet, really... i think a lot of dads can't really empathise with small kids. of course for me it is even more wonderful to see him as a dad now. but times have changed also. nowadays dads do get a little bit more involved
4:37 pm
and do the nappy changes. i think that is pretty normal now in the world. when i speak to my dad he didn't even know what a nappy was. he still doesn't. exactly. i think it is a nice change there happening in the world. first of all it is super brave and we have had so many reactions, we have had so many personal letters afterwards from people who have said you have inspired me to take more time with my family or to step up and do what i really want to do in life, i really admire that. and so when he took the decision i was of course a bit shocked. but very, very happy. when he said you know what, i think i am stopping... she said yeah, whatever. exactly that was my reaction.
4:38 pm
don't talk rubbish to me now. initially i was not that busy. i did take some time off to recover from all the celebrations as well. it was pretty intense. at the same time though it was a new life starting and things move on very quickly and i had to start putting things into place for this next step in my life. how do i earn a living now going forward? all of a sudden the racing goes away. yes, of course i have great savings, but i want to keep earning a living of course. i don't want to just rely on my savings. would you encourage your daughters to get into motorsport? i am actually very happy we have two girls because of exactly this point. no, i don't think so. just because i have suffered a lot because of him. for me it is more difficult to watch him race.
4:39 pm
speaking about girl racing drivers, i was on a tv show two days ago and it was small against big, so small children against adults. and i had to race against a nine—year—old girl, a very sweet girl and she is a go—kart driver, so she has done slaloms and races. so i had to race her in the show and she beat me fair and square. we had the same go—kart, the same track, the same everything. she beat me by two seconds and i was giving it everything. so there are some girls who really know how to drive fast. # live all you can and be all you can. # i am on top of the world and on the right track. # and i won't look back. # dream on, i am on top of the world and i am on the right track
4:40 pm
and i am on top of the world and i won't look back. i am working on my bucket list. sitting in the royal box in wimbledon. i was in the monaco national team as a tennis player when i was young and it was really a potential career route at one point. my mum was encouraging me that way, my dad more towards racing funnily enough. but then i chose the racing, so tennis has always been a passion, i have always watched all the tennis. i am a big fan of federer of course. then finally centre court, the royal box, wow, magical. legendary, magical, to watch federer winning, he was on his way to his eighth title, which is one of the biggest achievements the sporting world has ever seen. you are in awe of what you see and the english etiquette that is there. and the peacefulness. this whole space just is so quiet and you hear every little bounce and every little drop.
4:41 pm
so we are sitting here in my favourite coffee shop here in monaco. we are just waiting for chris froome to arrive. it will be great fun to go for a ride with him and we are going to go for a ride around the fi track. i can talk a little bit about my experiences on the track, about the different corners to him. it will be great, i am looking forward to it. nico, how are you doing? hi, chris. good to see you. nice to meet you. i'm excited. let's go and check out the fi circuit. let's go. this is pole position coming up. i had the pleasure to be here quite a few times. i guess on the monaco circuit especially its even more important. almost 80% of the race win
4:42 pm
is done in qualifying. that is incredible. if you get to that first corner first, then it is very likely. unless you make a big mistake? yes, exactly. what is the biggest one—day race for you guys like? the olympics? world championships or olympics. so that is what the monaco race to us in racing. it is the race to win because it is the most difficult race, the most legendary race and for me especially because i have grown up here. i have lived here all my life. have you really? i went to school here. my school is right over there in the harbour right by the formula one title. you are kidding! i looked down on a legend and dreamt i wanted to be there one day. no way! with your sport you can see
4:43 pm
the pain in yourface. yes, true. often we suffer in exactly the same way, but you just don't see it so much. that is a really big pity and that takes some of the excitement away sometimes now in sport. the spectator can't see. i had no idea it was like that. it would be fascinating for people to see that first hand. our heart rate is 180, 190 for the last hour of the race. that is why for example i was always trying to swim a lot in my training because i thought it is probably good to teach the body to not be able to breathe properly. that is fascinating. in five minutes i've learnt so much. so i stopped cycling last year. because in the summer i was really breaking my head about how i could lose another kilo in the middle of the season. and i can't go on a diet in the middle of the season because it is mentally and physically too tough.
4:44 pm
yes. it is not the right thing to do and so i stopped cycling to lose the leg muscles. so i lost one kilo of leg muscle in the summer and injapan after the summer i was on pole by three hundredths of a second from lewis. the leg muscles are four hundredths of a second and that got me the big championship lead so i won that race. that is a really cool story actually, how it actually worked out. you had to stop cycling to lose that extra kilo. there is annoying tv work and there is fun tv work. today is the fun tv work because it's easy. i am with chris and it is great because i am a fan of the sport and i cycle a lot myself and i have watched all of chris's success. cheers, nico, that was good fun. i mean it is just fascinating for me to learn a little bit more about fi
4:45 pm
and to hear actually how physical it is. i mean i have to admit i have watched it on tv a few times and just thought they just sit in the car and those guys must be really skilled at getting around the corners the way they do, but at the end of the day they are sitting in a car, they are not peddling. they have no idea what it means to suffer. exactly. but to hear that every fi driver sits there basically sweating at 190 beats a minute for two hours in a race isjust... it does put things into perspective a bit. and now you are off fora big training ride? yes, i've got to get back into it. i've had a bit of time off now so i need to start getting back into shape again and start getting ready for the new season. if it is ok i mightjoin you one of these days. you are very welcome.
4:46 pm
that would be cool. very, very special place. oxford union. very special people have come here and spoken here i believe. einstein. einstein? 0k. that is big shoes to fill. good evening, ladies and gentlemen. the reigning formula one world champion, pleasejoin me in giving a warm welcome to nico rosberg. which engine do you prefer? the v8 or the v6? the sound in our sport is goose
4:47 pm
bumps and vio was incredible. the sound on that is just unbelievable and i wish we could go back to that. again it is so difficult. the manufacturers and the sport needs to show that we are thinking about the future of the world and the manufacturers want to have their technologies that are relevant to the road cars, which is small engines and turbos. so you can understand that, but for the fans and for the sport as well and the entertainment factor vios because that is just so special. and today i was at the track and the v6s don't sound good. u nfortu nately. it is like a little motorbike. like a muppet. yes, like a muppet. great to see how enthusiastic they were about our sport. everybody knew about formula one, everybody loved it and
4:48 pm
knew all the details. that was very surprising. i did not expect that. so, yes, perfect. i do the stuff that is along the lines of my passions and oxford i would have almost gone that english university route. i had a place at imperial college to study aeronautics. it is special to go and speak there where previously einstein had been sitting in that seat where i was sitting. to go there and speak to the students who are going to be the most intelligent people living on this planet and they are going to do incredible things. that is amazing. for doctors to virtually practice operating on humans. put your thumbs on those blue buttons for three seconds. hold them in and now the wheel has gone and we drive backwards so you can stretch out your legs and you can do whatever. wired is again that start—up world. it is also important for me to build
4:49 pm
up credibility in that area so people take me seriously. one thing is me thinking that i can do it, but if people do not take you seriously, that is not any benefit. so it takes a bit of time to build some credibility. in general the formula one driver is a big narcissist. he loves himself and thinks he is the best in the world and it is always the other guy's fault. that gives you a certain strength in this crazy environment where you are judged by millions of people every little moment what you are doing. there is some prejudice in the business world when it comes to f1 racing drivers because they do not necessarily expect you then to have other competencies. i was more on the other side, i am more than sensitive, less narcissistic. it is at times difficult, but i question myself all the time. when i stopped i had savings from my career and i need to do
4:50 pm
something with them now. one thing is that of course being passionate about cars, cars are going to change our planet very soon and mobility in general. it will revolutionise our lives. so we are going to electric cars which in the long—term will also improve emissions and global warming and all that. not immediately because electric cars as such don't improve that. it is when the infrastructure improves as well to feed the electric cars with energy so when you get more solar power, more wind turbines and things. and then autonomous cars. it will be huge for the way we live, for everything, for efficiency in our lives, ease of living, massive. it is going to change everything. with the push of a button a drone will land here or wherever, a man carrying drone. jump in, take us to the next destination. no flying person required, it isjust autonomous. it will be awesome and this is just around the corner so it is an exciting time and i have always loved start—ups because in the start—up world there are fascinating people. people who are daring, inventive, creative, geniuses. and to meet with those people has always been interesting and now i am
4:51 pm
really digging into that so it has been a cool ride and that is why i am going to silicon valley. that is the ultimate epicentre of start—ups. people are not scared to fail over there. in our society people are scared to fail and that holds us back. over there it is normal to fail and you are expected to fail. now it is very powerful to see. are you prepared to go out on a limb and invest some money and time are prepared to fail? i do not like failing, i do not like losing. that is going to be difficult. five years' time, ten years' time, where is nico rosberg and what is he doing? that is not an easy question. it is important for me that ifind a good balance personally in my life, that i am very happy, at ease with life. i spend a lot of time working with a mental trainer, even studying psychology, philosophy, for many years. in ten years' time i would like to see myself even better positioned for myself,
4:52 pm
for my family. it could be being a manager and having a couple of drivers. that is something i can see now with kubica as well. i enjoy that. you can really experience similar emotions to when you are driving yourself. so that is cool. the emotions when you win and have success as a driver is so intense. it is not easy to find that so quickly elsewhere in life, but there is an opportunity if you work with other drivers and support them and become part of a team to release some of those emotions. that could be something in the longer term. if you hadn't won the world title in 2016, would you have continued? going into the last race i was on the starting grid and absolutely one of the most intense or even nervous moments in my life because this is the start to something else. i am going to decide if i get my dream or not. you never know in f1 if you will get a second chance
4:53 pm
because you rely on your car. the rules were changing, it is totally different this year. is mercedes still going to be able to build the car? so i knew it was crucial. and i had done so much meditation and so much everything, nothing helped in that moment. the only thing that helped was suddenly the realisation this could be my last race because i knew if i won i was stopping. that gave me clarity all of sudden to take in and enjoy the moment, this is the last one. it was very strange. it was very clear if i do not win, i continue because i do not ever give up and i want to achieve what i set out to do. lewis hamilton has become a four—time world champion, an incredible achievement, but you are the only guy who has taken him on head to head and beaten him. how does that feel? it is really nice to hear that and i am very proud of
4:54 pm
that as well and that makes my achievement a bit more special to me. i know that next to me was lewis and lewis is an incredible driver and lewis is an incredible driver andi and lewis is an incredible driver and i have beaten him and in the way it all happened it was perfect. can i talk about fear? does that into your mind? is it something you were able to force out as a young driver? iam not able to force out as a young driver? i am not quite as crazy as some of the other guys out there. one example was in baku in 2016 because we we re example was in baku in 2016 because we were doing 360 on the straight in the city. then we were jumping on the city. then we were jumping on the straights and on the left—hand side is the pit lane entry and there isa side is the pit lane entry and there is a perpendicular wall. going past their every single lap and thinking if it fails, i go into that and it is finished. there are a few moments where i have been a bit scared. your most satisfying race? one of the
4:55 pm
most satisfying race? one of the most satisfying race? one of the most satisfying ones was winning monaco for the first time. my father a lwa ys monaco for the first time. my father always told me since i was young there are two things you have got to ta ke there are two things you have got to take off as a formula one driving is winning monaco and the formula one championship. monaco is more special for me because it is my home and i am driving through my streets. my way to school was through the tunnel when my mum drove me to school. the first entire weekend every single free practice session in qualifying in the race i shared it with the friends and family. it was wonderful. and your most embarrassing moment?” wonderful. and your most embarrassing moment? i have had way too many, they are horrible, it is really not good. for example, i took out my team—mate mark webber in my first year in the last race. another one in singapore with williams coming second. that would have been
4:56 pm
such a great achievement. then i went over the white line in the fedex. come on, who does that? there we re fedex. come on, who does that? there were some tough moments when you do something so stupid. have you had a situation where fans have said to you i am really disappointed? every day. it is a mix. a lot of people say it is so cool, i am happy you have found your way and you achieved what you have set out to do. others say i can understand that you have stepped away. some people say it is such a pity, i would love to see you and lewis again and be in the mix right in front again. it is a mix and it is normal and i understand that because it was a pretty extreme thing to do. for me it was the right thing. jet ski time with my daughter, looking forward to it. the last one of the year. going to work a wet suit. this is for the person
4:57 pm
who forgot their swimming trunks, which is me, not clever. one of the most important things in life is friends and family and that is where you get the most pleasure from. in our lives we spend so little time with our friends and family because we are so busy working and everything else. that is a pity that we are so bad, all of us. that was an incredible day on the yacht in the south of france. it does not get better than that. a beautiful day laughing, eating, messing about on jet skis. for me it is as good as it gets personally. sebastian vettel, i love you. alonso. you are alonso? i asked her
4:58 pm
what names she knew and i started with mining and she did not know that. hamilton, she knew hamilton. yes. sebastian vettel, no clue. excuse me, madam, iam yes. sebastian vettel, no clue. excuse me, madam, i am going to continue. you need to take that out. a lot of twists and turns for the forecast in the week ahead, but it stars on a quiet note. it was a pretty quiet day today with cloud and some sunshine. central and eastern areas will see the clear spells and where we have those clear skies that could be a touch of frost
4:59 pm
and fog patches. a bit more cloud further west with the odd spot of rain and temperatures in the main should hold above freezing. into monday and not a bad looking day. early fog in east anglia and the south east. the thickest cloud could produce the odd spot of rain but it isa produce the odd spot of rain but it is a largely dry day with some cells of sunshine and temperatures not doing too badly for this time of year. but as we look deeper into the week after that quiet and fine start, the middle of the week will bring some very wet and windy weather and by the end of the week it will turn much colder and some of us it will turn much colder and some of us will get to see some snow. this is bbc news.
5:00 pm
the headlines at five. the entire board of the government's social mobility commission resigns, saying theresa may's rhetoric isn't matched by reality. the government, probably for understandable reasons, is focused on brexit and seems to lack the bandwidth to be able to translate the rhetoric about converting social justice into a reality. pressure on the prime minister to refuse to settle the uk's "divorce bill" unless the eu agrees to a series of demands. donald trump hits out at the fbi in a series of angry tweets, claiming the agency's reputation is in tatters
