hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. millions of people around the world have been celebrating the start of the new year. more than 100,000 ticketholders watched london's midnight firework show from the banks of the river thames, and hogmanay celebrations went ahead in edinburgh despite earlier travel and weather concerns. new york is one of the latest cities to toast 2018 with events in times square, los angeles and vancouver have to wait another two hours before the year changes. five british citizens who died when a seaplane crashed in australia on new year's eve have been named. richard cousins, the chief executive of the world's biggest catering group compass, died in the crash along with his sons william and edward. mr cousin‘s fiancee, emma bowden and her eleven year old daughter also died as did the australian pilot.

the bodies of the victims have been recovered scores of people were left stranded in liverpool and forced to spend the night in emergency accommodation after a fire destroyed more than 1,000 cars parked close to the city's arena. no—one was hurt but residents in nearby apartments were evacuated as the fire service tackled the blaze which it describes as one of the worst it had ever dealt with. britain's trains are the oldest since current records began, according to figures from a transport watchdog. passengers are travelling in carriages which were typically built in the mid 1990s. the office of rail and road says older rolling stock can lead to problems with reliability and poorer performance. the department for transport says 11,500 new carriages will be introduced across britain by 202a. the president of iran has appealed for calm, saying people would have the right to protest but not to commit acts of violence, amid continuing anti—government protests. in his first public comments since demonstrations against the government began on thursday, hassan rouhani warned

that violence and public disorder would not be tolerated. the north korean leader has said that he has a nuclear button on his desk. in a defiant new year message, kim jong un says now that north korea had developed the capability to hit all of the us mainland with its nuclear weapons, washington would never start a war. he added he would not order the use of weapons unless his country's security was threatened. a small passenger plane has crashed in a tourist area of costa rica, killing 10 americans and two local pilots. it was travelling to the capital sanjose from the mountainous region of punta islita near bejuco, an area popular with tourists on the pacific coast. the cause of the crash is not yet known. local reports say five of the passengers shared the same surname. special coins marking 100—year anniversaries of women getting

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, 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 or less. two. 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. i play most heroes tan in cheek. i really don't see myself as a hero so i'd play it as if it is all a joke. house with a door. one, two, three, four. great big curtain rings! i think they must have come

out of a giant's house! i know — i will be an owl. our aim, we were told, was to play one to one through the camera. up and down with you. 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. while our animals are not going to be happy, they will be going away on holiday, 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 was 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. but you coming down to join but 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! get down shep, behave, come here. i'll cuff you round the ear. wait a waita minute! wait a minute! i havejustjumped

out of this aeroplane at 50,000 feet. i am upside down! i am upside down! hello and welcome to a special bank holiday edition. how long did it take you to record the album? between two and three years. do you have any ideas of what you would like to swap it for? i'm back again. 1a years at the bbc. swap shop, 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 on to my wife. we lived near paddington so we called 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 book 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 bell. london, a lovely city. you can go to france or america, india, asia, australia, you're going to 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 all together. 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. commentator: rachel flynt, what a good piece of fielding but not good running between the wickets, though. umpire: 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! 50—1, blackburn rovers seven,

nottingham forest nil. after our last programme, the editor of final score came with a box and when he opened it and produced 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 plays batman theme. -- grandstand theme. plays batman theme.

it was a two piece but it was itchy and someone had to zip up the back, i had to fumble to get out of the suit. somebody had to be there. batman! 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. victor, scientific, and, sandra, cable communication system wide open. you take over. english girls abroad with appealing

shoulders and flowery dresses. like wallpaper on the march. that's 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. and when i read last of the summer wine, i thought, "this is it." yes, this is it, this is the tree! you can see tollgate church! i'm sorry, gromit, the fact is, i am just crackers about cheese. cracking toast, gromit. # although i cry.

# ain't that a shame? # ifound my thrill. # 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. where's me dog?! i wouldn't have done that, but it was an emergency. i've brought my own flaming dog! calm down, vera, love. 48 quid for my own dog! 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. lam homosexual, irretrievably. then 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's not about sexuality, it's about the tenderness of the individual as opposed to the cruelty of the crowd." we did so well, but... a beautiful woman. you're 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 # but where do you go to, my lovely # when you're alone in your bed? # 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 # hah—hah—hah—hah

# 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 got all my sisters and me # we are family # get up everybody, sing #. # my blood runs cold # my memory hasjust been sold # my angel is a centrefold # angel is a centrefold #. music: back in black by ac/dc

# don't come around here no more # whatever you're looking for...# # 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 proceed 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 have been shown that register and it suggests that far from lessening, the threat is greater now than at any time for 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 thatjimmy savile was a paedophile. now in the movie industry hype is good news if the film lives up to it, very bad news if 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, are probably shed a couple myself as per the very last time i bow myself out to the accompaniment of billy taylor and the best theme on television. film night theme plays more next week. good night. music: jessica by the allman brothers

hot favourite after wins in 1958 and 1959, john surtees, number three, rocketing away. on his way to win his sixth tt and his third successive senior tt. i don't set out with definite ambitions, i just try and do my best whatever i do. in his ferrari, john surtees, number seven, going like a bomb, eventually leaving the 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 is so overwhelming.

# i'm just a daydreamer # walking in the rain.# you just don't expect to meet him personally. hi, there. i've been touring for about three, three and a half years, and i am really tired. # feel like i've never known a time before... # just knowing that your door is always open and your path is free to walk...# good evening, ladies and gentlemen, i'm glenn campbell. i don't remember not having a guitar or a musical instrument in my hand. dad bought a guitar for, like, $5.95, you know. 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 the main roads...# yeah, looking in the sun for another overload. # i hearyou ringing through the wire... oh, boy. that isjust... what a great song. # and the wichita lineman is still on the line.# music: wichita lineman by glen campbell. # when i look at you
