hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson. now, a summary of this morning's main news. winds of up to 80mph and a series of rail strikes are threatening to cause disruption as the uk prepares to see in the new year. members of the rmt union are staging a 24—hour walk—out, which will affect passengers on crosscountry and south western railways. services from london waterloo, the uk's busiest station, are also affected. with hundreds of thousands of people expected to take part in celebrations, security services and the police are urging people to be vigilant. depite four terror attacks this year, there will be fewer officers on duty in london at the new year's eve fireworks, but scotland yard says the numbers are "proportionate" and reflect the threat level, which remains at "severe". in some parts of the uk, celebrations for the new year are already well underway, not least in edinburgh. last night, the city's hogmanay festival opened with a torchlight procession through its historic streets. more than 17,000 torchbearers

took part in the event, including 30 vikings who had travelled down shetland for the celebrations. the security minister ben wallace has said the government should consider taxing internet firms u nless consider taxing internet firms unless they are more willing to tackle the threat of terrorism in the uk. in an interview in the sunday times, mr wallace said technology fims that refused the security services access to encrypted messages were "turning the internet into an anarchic, violent space." he added, "we should stop pretending that because they sit on beanbags in t—shirts they are not ruthless profiteers.". google and facebook are yet to respond to the remarks. two demonstrators are reported to have been shot dead in iran as anti—government protests spread throughout the country, reaching the capital, tehran. the wave of unrest, which began last week, is the most serious since the authorities suppressed months of protests in 2009. demonstrators have been heard shouting slogans in support of the shah and the iranian royal family for the first time since the islamic revolution 40—years ago.

those are the main stories this morning, and that's it from breakfast. i'll be back tomorrow, but until then, we can take a moment to remember some of the lives lost this year in review 2017: we remember. # deep down in louisiana cross to new 0rlea ns # where back up in the woods among the evergreens # there stood a log cabin made of earth and wood # where lived a country boy named johnny b goode.# # 0h, maybelline...#. half of the young people go to school so that's why i wrote about school, i wrote about cars and most of all — the people, if not now, they'll soon be in love. # it's a jumping little record i want myjockey to play. # roll over beethoven, i got to hear it again today.#.

and you, monsieur, are the famous simon templar. but what about brother vincent? supposing he notices something he thinks clinton should know about. mr...? bond. james bond. is there time before we leave for lesson number three? absolutely. there's no sense in going off half—cocked. stir in some crushed ice, shake, strain and pour. top it off with one olive. two. did you say something? i said two. you were perfect up until the olives. two olives. that way you see they can gently bounce up against each other. i'm afraid the spectacle of two olives gently bouncing up against each other is a pleasure i shall forego. oh, you don't want

to bust up a pair. we played it tongue in cheek, as i play most heroes. i really don't see myself as a hero, although i play them. so i'd play it as if it is all a joke. a house with a door. one, two, three, four. great big curtain rings, they must have come out of a giant's house. i know what we can do with these. i will be an owl. hee—haw! our aim, we were told, was to play one to one through the camera. # up and down with your brush. and it works, that is why people remember it — because it was as if we were talking only to them. it's windy miller. hello, windy. peel, pugh, barney mcgrew,

cuthbert, dibble, grubb. mrjohn noakes! i'm sure this does me good. 0h, get off my foot. well, our animals are going to be happy, they will be going away on holiday too, they're going to spend it in the country. but lulu won't be there. at this level, the plinth on which nelson stands overhangs the column. i found myself literally hanging from the ladder with nothing beneath me. once i had reached the top of the column the worst part began, i had to go down again, in a bosun‘s chair. are you coming down tojoin me? yes, i'm coming down. do you feel all right? yes, i feel good. no shep, don't bite him. he's a nice fella.

get down, shep, keep still, boy. do as you're told. come here. get down, shep, behave yourself or i'll cuff you around the ear. # john could never be alone, no matter where he went. # because shep would have a sniff around and soon pick up the scent.# byjove, i've just jumped out of this aeroplane and 50,000 feet, and get down shep! i'm upside down! hello, welcome to a special bank holiday edition of cheggers plays pop. how long did it take you to record the album. between two and three years. that's a long time. do you have any ideas of what you would like to swap it for? i'm back again. 14 years at the bbc. swapshop, cheggers

plays pop, all sorts. i happened to miss a bus one christmas evening and went into a london store and saw this toy bear on the counter, nobody had bought it, it was the only one left, i took it home to my wife, we lived near paddington so we decided to call it paddington. one day i was sitting with a blank sheet of paper and a typewriter and started to write a story about it and i became a book. mr and mrs brown first met paddington on a railway station which is how he came to have such an unusual name for a bear. based on my father, very polite man, always wore a hat and paddington has a lot of him in him. good afternoon, he said, can i help you? there's parsley. sometimes mr 0nion lets him ring the school bell. hello, parsley! # london, a lovely city. # you can go to france or america.

# india, asia, australia # you're gonna come back to london city. # london is the place for me.# i think there was a sort of reticence and nervousness that the women might take over altogether. we might not present an acceptable face of cricket and i actually cried as i walked out onto the pitch. it was the most incredible feeling. rachel flynt, what a good piece of fielding, but not good running

between the wickets, though. advantage, miss graf. 0vercome with the emotion of it all. she just told me "jana, you will do it, i believe one day you will do it." she's done it! scores read out. after our last programme, the editor of final score came with a box and when he opened it and pulled out this trophy, i thought that's absolutely made my day because that is something that i have always thought, having watched the sports personality of the year,

i would love to have something like that as a souvenir of my career. grandstand theme. batman theme. it was a two—piece but it was itchy and someone had to zip up the back. i had to fumble for a long time to get out of the suit. if i wanted to go to the bathroom, somebody had to be there. what now?! 0ur parents were slaughtered with the others. that is why, that is why we tried to kill. that is why, that is why! we need a team.

paul, you'll assess material damage. helena, medical. victor, scientific. lori, security. and put eagle 1 on the pad for me. sandra, cable communication system wide open. any response, relay it through to us. conor, you take over. english girls abroad with appealing shoulders and flowery dresses. like wallpaper on the march. that's all right too, not bad. not bad, nice face, nice figure. good teeth too. what's the matter with you? you two, where are you taking them tonight, smithfield market?

are you happy, i mean really, really happy happy? fantastically happy. iam. i know it's silly but sometimes it worries me, i'm so happy. i keep expecting something to come along and spoil it. daft thing, what could possibly do that. it happens sometimes in an actor's life, if you are very very lucky that something special turns up. ready steady go. and when i read last of the summer wine i thought, this is it. yes, this is it, this is it, you can see tollgate church. i'm sorry, gromit, the fact is i am just crackers about cheeses. # although i cry. # ain't that a shame?

# ifound my thrill. # 0n blueberry hill. # 0n blueberry hill, when i found you.# new guinea, newjersey, new york, new zealand, where do you want to go, chuck? new brighton.

i therefore proclaim that they are husband and wife. well, go on, kiss me. look what i've got! hey, i've got a match for my dog, we saw it in this antiques shop window on nightingale street. where are you going, jack. to see a man about a thing. i wouldn't have done that it was an emergency. i've bought my own flaming dog. calm down, vera love. 48 quid! that miserable so—and—so only gave me 25! i've never loved anybody else. come on, say you've never loved anybody else. i've never loved anybody else, shall i go and get your slippers? please. i wish that at that time i had been

older, so that i would have been able to have answered or spoke up for myself. you move like a racehorse. you walk like a derby winner. you must let me help you. introduce you to some friends of mine, some photographers, film people, television people. i could do wonders with you, little baby. iam homosexual, irretrievably. why did you come here looking as you do? well, many people said don't do that, you'll never work again and i said it is not about homosexuality, it is about the tenderness of the individual as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd. we did so well, but... a beautiful woman. you are my future selves?

yes. am i having a midlife crisis? why are you pointing your screwdrivers like that? they're scientific instruments, not water pistols. welcome aboard, delighted you could join us. captain striker at your service. how do you do, i'm the doctor, and this is tegan. doctor who theme plays # but where do you go to, my lovely # when you're alone in your bed? # 0h, won't you tell me the thoughts # that surround you # i want to look inside your head

# yes, i do # your name, it is heard in high places # you know the aga khan # and he sent you a racehorse for christmas # and you keep itjust forfun # for a laugh # ha, ha, ha # and they say that if you get married # it'll be to a millionaire # but they don't realise where you came from # and i wonder if they really care. # you're a lady # i'm a man # you're supposed to understand # we are family # i've got all my sisters with me # we are family # get up everybody and sing.

# my blood runs cold # my memory has just been sold # my angel is a centrefold # angel is a centrefold. # you don't come around here no more # whatever you're looking for # i'm free, i'm free falling. # you can sit around and wait for the phone to ring # waiting for someone to tell you everything # at the end of the line. i hold you responsible for biggins, james. it is this ragbag of fugitives

from the debtors' prison that should concern us. i remember a day when we did a lambing sequence through the night in the ice cold of winter, deep snow, endless frost. we few, we happy few! we band of brothers. but the removal of those grievances ought to precede the disarmament of the victims. music: "reelin‘ in the years" by steely dan. for such backbenchers,

it's the curse of coalition politics, but the government is putting it down to the reality of an ageing and needful population. we've been shown that register and it suggests that far from lessening, the threat is greater now than at any time in the last ten years. the flood of allegations aboutjimmy savile‘s behaviour is now engulfing many of the institutions he was involved with. i think the decision to drop our story was a breach of our duty to the women who trusted us to reveal that jimmy savile was a paedophile. now in the movie industry, of course, hype is good news if the film lives up to it, very bad news of it doesn't. a morally uplifting parable about faith and redemption and how naive innocence can be mistaken for wisdom begins to unfold. now it's ok, now you can let the tears flow. i probably shed a couple myself as forr the very last time i bow myself out to the accompaniment of billy taylor and the best theme tune on television.

"film" theme plays. and more next week. goodnight. hot favourite after wins in 1958 and ‘59, john surtees, number three. on his way to win his sixth tt and his third successive senior tt. i don't set out with definite ambitions, ijust try and do my best whatever i do. in his ferrari, john surtees, number seven, going like a bomb, leading the ten

cars, still in the race. # i think i love you, so what am i so afraid of? when 20, 30, 40, 50,000 people are screaming at the top of their lungs, "i love you," it's so overwhelming! # i'm just a daydreamer # walking in the rain... you just didn't expect to meet him personally. hi there. they scream. to be honest with you, i've been touring for about three, three and a half years, and i am really tired. # ifeel like i've never known a time before... # it's knowing that your door is always open

# and your path is free to walk... good evening, ladies and gentlemen, i am glenn campbell. i don't remember not having a guitar or a musical instrument in my hand, and my dad bought a guitar for $5.95, you know. # i love you... i found out real quick that it was lighter than pulling a cotton sack or ploughing. # i'm going to be where the lights are shining on me # like a rhinestone cowboy # riding out on a horse in a star—spangled rodeo... # i am a lineman for the county # and i drive the main road # i am a lineman for the county and i what...? drive. # drive the main roads.

# yeah, looking in the sun for another overload. # i hear you wire... # i hearyou ringing through the wire... oh, boy. that is just... what a great song. # and the wichita lineman is still on the line... music: "wichita lineman" by glen campbell. # when i look at you # my heart goes shooby doo # nursie, i'm getting worsey, what am i going to do?

you have 55 seconds to beat the clock...starting from now. # life is the name of the game # and i want to play the game with you... nice to see you, to see you... nice! have a twirl, darling. a gallon of scotch. a cuddly toy. didn't he do well, didn't she do well! tony blair insists that weapons of mass destruction will eventually be found in iraq. well, it would be nice to see them, to see them... nice! announcer: live from london, this is strictly come dancing. please welcome your hosts... bruce forsyth! # in other words, please be true # in other words... # in other words, i love you

# fly me to the moon. applause. thank you. this is bbc news. i'm annita mcveigh. the headlines at 9am: we are getting reports that six people have been killed after a seaplane crashed into a river north of sydney. it's thought four of the victims may be british. criminal gangs who claim benefits under false identities are to be targeted by the government using artificial intelligence. we are going to use new technology, artificial intelligence, to identify patterns and networks of behaviour ina way patterns and networks of behaviour in a way that would not be possible for humans to do. after three days of political protests, iran's revolutionary guards warn demonstrators they face the nation's "iron fist".

political leaders reflect on the past 12 months in their new year's messages, theresa may says 2017 was a "year of progress" for the uk. jeremy corbyn says the hope of a new britain is closer than ever.
