our political correspondent, leila nathoo, joins us now. leila, how significant is this? what is thejustice secretary going to be looking it? the government has commissioned a review into how the pa role commissioned a review into how the parole board makes its decisions, whether there should be more transparency after the outcry about the decision to release worboys. they said they were not involved in the process. some only recently found out about his release through the media. they were concerned that they could be attacked again. the newjustice secretary, they could be attacked again. the new justice secretary, who they could be attacked again. the newjustice secretary, who was moved in in the recent cabinet reshuffle, he is seeking advice on whether a judicial review would have any prospect of success. that will look at the lawfulness of that initial decision. he is expecting to get

that advice this week. he will only proceed with a reasonable chance of success. proceed with a reasonable chance of success. this is a highly unusual move for ajustice success. this is a highly unusual move for a justice secretary to intervene in this way, to even look at the possibility of a judicial review. the parole board is strictly independent. they would have insisted proper procedures were followed in this case. but it is also understood in the event worboys does get released, victims groups will be able to make rough presentations to the parole board about his parole. —— representations. thank you. the governor of hawaii has apologised, and promised to tighten procedures, after authorities mistakenly issued an alert, warning of an imminent ballistic missile attack. an official text message, sent to people's phones in error, left people scrambling for shelter. a corrected message wasn't sent out until nearly a0 minutes later. bill hayton reports. for 30 minutes on saturday,

the people of hawaii looked anxiously to the skies. we thought if this is the end, we are ina we thought if this is the end, we are in a beautiful place doing something we love. was a north korean nuclear missile about to hit honolulu? no. the whole thing was simplya honolulu? no. the whole thing was simply a mistake. this started at 0805. the wrong button was pushed on this test. it went to an actual event. the click of a single button could be responsible for so much panic? the anger is directed towards the state government. what happened today was totally unacceptable. many

in our community were deeply affected by this, and i am sorry for that pain and confusion anyone may have experienced. at least everyone 110w have experienced. at least everyone now knows the warning system works, but that is small comfort for millions who thought their world was going to end on saturday. we will talk about that more later and talk to people caught up in it. that his later. other news now. ukip has suspended the girlfriend of its party leader, henry bolton after she reportedly made offensive remarks about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. the mail on sunday has published text messages sent byjo marney that include derogatory comments about ethnic minorities. dan johnson reports. you are all still here! he has only

nationalise it with the moral hazard attached to that. it could take back all of the contracts would carillion and reassign them to help their companies, or it could put them in administration. consultants would then end up on profitable parts. the potential could be devastating. many of them are owed millions by carillion, and if they do not get those moneys, well, the other thing is thousands ofjobs will potentially be lost as a result. todayis potentially be lost as a result. today is a vital day for the 20,000 employees in britain of carillion and thousands more completely dependent on it. the government says it has robust contingency plans in place if the business collapses. but evenif place if the business collapses. but even if it survives intact, the issue of pf! contracts may be reopened after this episode. joe lynam, bbc news. tenants could be given greater powers to tackle rogue landlords after the government agreed to back a private members' bill. it comes as figures show one in ten tenants has had a gas leak, a fire or safety concern

in their home over the last year. adrian goldberg from 5live investigates has the story, tell us more. this story just this storyjust moved on in the last 24 this storyjust moved on in the last 2a hours. this storyjust moved on in the last 24 hours. very much so. we were being told the government was not backing this private members bill, though they were talking to the mp concerned. they felt essentially local government had enough powers to clamp down on rogue landlords, and further powers would not go as far as the proposed legislation. yesterday, i got an e—mail through, saying the government is going to back the private members bill which will give tenants powers as individuals to take on rogue landlords. so, that is quite a big shift for the government. and i suppose it reflects some of the complaints that have been about the quality of housing across the entire

rental sector in england. this is more thanjust rental sector in england. this is more than just wallpaper, it is serious issues. yes. the mp concerned commissioned a freedom of information request from local councils across england. using those figures, she and her colleagues estimated 1 million homes, 3 million people, in category 1 estimated 1 million homes, 3 million people, in category1 hazards. this is not a bit of peeling paint, putting your life in danger, affecting your health. there is bad housing out there to be if this goes through, you will have the power as an individual to take on your landlord. they will have to make sure any home is fit for human habitation. arthur grenfell tower, there is no excuse for taking it seriously. —— after. and you can hear more on this story on 5live investigates on bbc radio 5live at 11 today. absolutely. tune in for that.

not many parents will forget their children's first words but this mum and dad will definitely remember. their baby was just three months old when laura webster filmed her husband tom as he successfully encouraged little jenson to talk. hello. say hello. get out! that has to bea hello. say hello. get out! that has to be a fluke. do it again. that is s0 to be a fluke. do it again. that is so brilliant! i love the reaction of the dad. i want to watch that again. can we have another lesson? hello. say hello. get out! we could watch that all morning. we will keep that

ona that all morning. we will keep that on a loop. you have heard of drug sniffer dogs, but what about bug sniffer dogs, but what about bug sniffer dogs. the boston museum of fine arts in massachusetts has introduced its newest employee. it is riley. he is trained to sniff out bugs that could damage artwork. he is the first of his kind and will be paid in treats and squeaky toys. is that the dog minimum wage? that is the best way to start your weekend. good news. back to hawaii now, where a missile alert caused widespread panic after it warned of an imminent attack. it turned out to be a mistake. emma hine and herson, lewis, are from portsmouth, but are over in hawaii, and join us from their hotel. good morning. there are three few!

—— three of you. what happened?- half past eight this morning, there was a siren in the hotel that went off. at the same time, everyone got a text message to say there was an imminent missile warning, seek shelter immediately. it said this was not a drill, and it was absolutely terrifying. we did not know what to do. we are just looking at the text message now. i mean, it seems s0 at the text message now. i mean, it seems so simple and clear, doesn't it? it seems terrifying if you were on the receiving end of that. what did you do? the hotel told you to seek shelter. where did you go? we we re seek shelter. where did you go? we were having breakfast at the time. we were in the hotel room. my initial reaction was to actually get jessica. ice started running towards

the hotel room. as i was running through the hotel room towards the hotel room there were people everywhere. the hotel did not know what was going on. there was panic everywhere. they were telling eve ryo ne everywhere. they were telling everyone to stay in their rooms. people were just so one sure about what was happening. —— so unsure. the staff panicking made everyone panic even more. and then, of course, subsequently another message was sent, making it clear it was a false alarm and no missile was imminent. bike it took a good while for that to come through to you. yeah, definitely. —— but that. it was over half an hour until the next message saying it was not real. that isa message saying it was not real. that is a long time if you think you are going to be hit by a missile. it was sheer panic to be everything goes through your mind. i thought it was

over. that turns to anger after a while, does it? yeah, i mean, when they said it was a mistake, it was unbelievable. there must have been millions of people like us absolutely terrified. it was on the television. it was everywhere! hearing a siren makes you panic. for eve ryo ne hearing a siren makes you panic. for everyone to get a text message... jessica was in a hotel room on her own and got the text message it was absolutely terrified. she is thinking what is going to happen? i wonder ifjessica and lewis can hear us on the phone and can you explain a bit about why you are there? yeah. i'm here in hawaii to receive an award. no one expected it

to turn out like this. the me, i was absolutely terrified. we didn't know what to do. what was going to happen. and jessica, as your mother said, you are in a hotel room on your own because lewis and your mother were out. what went through your mind? what advice were you given? i didn't really know what it was and it wasn't until my mother burst the hotel room door to say look, we need to leave. that's when i thought it was scary and real. the text message... i didn't really want to believe anything so ijust went back to what i was doing. best of luck to you all. thank you for

telling us your story this morning. an awful time. emma, telling us your story this morning. an awfultime. emma, lewis telling us your story this morning. an awful time. emma, lewis and jessica, try and enjoy the rest of your trip if you can. we are going to look at this morning's weather this morning. ido i do know that is the type of weather where we will bring out the garlands are around our necks. we have been used to grey skies over the past 34 days. another cloudy day at we will see that cloud in and breakup. —— thin. this turning up and settled tonight. for much of the day, not bad. —— things turning u nsettled. day, not bad. —— things turning unsettled. the sequences of sunshine for parts of the west country, wales, northern england. cloudy for

northern england and scotland. the strong winds picking up as well. ahead of that, temperatures for—9d with lighter winds. looking good for the premier league matches. a bit of sunshine to be enjoyed in bournemouth. cloudy in liverpool. this is when we see the strong winds heating up, 70 mph, strong winds and heavy rain transfer eastwards across the country and into the early hours of the morning, they will be rattling the windows. cold air with wintry showers filtering in from the north—west. monday morning, most of us north—west. monday morning, most of us start date frost free but we will have strong winds. we have it set up as we start the working week. monday, strong winds and heavy rain, court slowly clearing to the east.

—— slowly clearing. wintry showers, falling to slow even to lower levels in scotland and northern ireland. further west, sleet and snow over the higher ground but could have some thunder and lightning mixed in for lower ground. the tuesday, sunshine, heavy, wintry showers, and temperatures down, around 3—8. middle of the week, potential for disruptive weather. into thursday, this low pressure system is moving eastwards a ci’oss this low pressure system is moving eastwards across the southern half of the country, bringing heavy rain and snow and pretty windy conditions, too. particularly through wednesday night and into thursday. for the week ahead, are much colder theme. windy and unsubtle. a return to some snow for many of us, mostly over the higher ground and south and across scotland and northern ireland, some of the snow could be to lower levels. this going on for the week ahead but many of us, not a bad day today with a

few glimpses of sunshine. thanks, sarah. we will look out for those. it's known for its roman baths and historic abbey, but bath could soon become famous for something else. the city is bidding to become the first place in britain to introduce a tourist tax — like paris and rome. council leaders say by charging hotel guests an extra £1 to visit, they could put the money back into frontline services. but there are concerns the charge could deter visitors. we've been in bath finding out what tourists already make of the move. we are from brazil. 0ver there, we have two pay to visit the museums, we are used to playing taxes. from what we are seeing hit this would be interesting. i don't think it's fair on the hotel stop they are bringing in the tourists so why should they have a second levy on them when they

are creating the tourists and giving them somewhere to stay? it is quite a common thing in the europe, in cities, to apply a same sort of tax. i wouldn't have a problem with it. if the money i spend on the things like i spend on, it could be beneficial and a wonderful idea. 0n the other hand, i feel there should be somebody to monitor that actually the money is spent on those things. bath is a beautiful city. i would love to see it maintained and knowing what the money was going towards, i would definitely do that, yes. joining us now from our bristol studio is tim warren, the leader of bath and north east somerset council, and phoebe smith a travel writer and editor of wanderlust magazine. good morning to you both. phoebe, i start with you. it is an interesting proposal. no one wants to be the

first to do it. note, no one wants to be the first because then they will be labelled and become known as the place that did it first. the thing is, though, the people that do it first, they will be the test case. it might turn people off going there and as with most taxes, if it goes through and is successful, it will roll out and say that is bad news for tourists. it might notjust rollout but go up. they never go down! let's talk to tim. £1 per night doesn't sound too bad but what impact could this have on visitors? i wouldn't think it would have an impact. when you go abroad, you usually pay 1 impact. when you go abroad, you usually pay! euro per night. in rope, i think we paid five or six. —— rome. i went to london and the hotel, breakfast, 20 quid, !00 quid

for a show. an extra pound wouldn't have killed us, to be honest. and it will be ring—fenced. it will be put that into tourism facilities? will be ring—fenced. it will be put that into tourism facilities7m will go back into the public realm. reinvestment going into the places that people come to visit in the first place. phoebe, an interesting point when it comes to where that money will be spent. tourists to ta ke money will be spent. tourists to take a toll. somewhere like bath, they get worn out. but they also bring in millions of pounds that they wouldn't get if they didn't have the tourists there. the issue with the tourist tax is it really just a place to hotels. it is apply to the attractions or peer—to—peer accommodation. something like bnp. hotels are already under pressure with people opting for other ways to stay. —— bnb. with people opting for other ways to

stay. -- bnb. how do you dealwith that, tim warren? we are not looking to impose that. we are looking to get the power to may be implemented if we want to and then there is a consultation. we talk to the hotel owners. an interesting point when you talk about airbnb. the hotel owners are disadvantaged. they would be attacks on tourists and not on the hotels. you pay for the hotel and to pay a separate bill for your tax. how you implement it, that would be more of a concern than the cost, to be honest. and how do you distinguish, or do you distinguish between tourism and business? we would look at it. £1 and night, as i said, wouldn't kill anybody. it may be £! per night and it might be !%. we would have to consult over it. phoebe, other cities have done it already. paris, dubai, rome. it is not a big idea

already. paris, dubai, rome. it is nota big idea in already. paris, dubai, rome. it is not a big idea in that sense that it isn't something we have done before. we have seen the rising pound —— the shrinking pound. 0bviously, we have seen the rising pound —— the shrinking pound. obviously, it impacts on people that might not be able to go overseas. they are already taxed with air duty at thatcher. if places like york and maybe windsor and bath, it may push people to other places which could see other places benefit. as tim says, if you have spent the money on a flight and a hotel, £1 per night isn't great make a huge difference. it is per person. it is £4 per night and that adds up if you are one week away, for a family. it depends on who you are talking about. like i said, there are pluses and minuses and it will be interesting to see what happens and who has the guts to do it first. there is a bigger picture. the wider picture about where we will be in a couple of

yea rs' where we will be in a couple of years' time. impact of brexit and the weakness of the pound. you will have to be wary that introducing some small measure like this could have serious impact. we are talking about who will be the first to impose it. i believe birmingham have already been paid given permission to do so so they can play for the commonwealth games. for a limited period. leigh and something in the late district but i'm not sure. —— and something similar in the lake district. it could be nationwide and it could put million 's of pounds into local government. at the moment, i think 80% of our budget will go to children and adults in social care. it doesn't leave much for the place. we need to raise extra money to keep the public realm

like it is and keep the people coming. it is, as you say, the most beautiful city. thank you very much for talking to us this morning. and phoebe smith, thank you. coming up later this morning, we'll be talking about whether a baguette, or a french stick as you might call it — should be listed as cultural treasure? it is like a deadly weapon! is just landed here. it smells really nice. i wouldn't start eating it. it's making crumbs everywhere. it follows the decision by unesco to protect pizza from naples. so what do you think? does the simple baguette need special status? and what british national treasure would you protect? we have had so many suggestions already. lots of them are,

inevitably, food related. we have had scones from ross, chips and gravy. full scottish or a full english, roberts says. 0ther perhaps less tangible things like apologising. apparently that should bea apologising. apparently that should be a national treasure. e—mail bbcbreakfast@bbc.co.uk or tweet us using the hashtag #bbcbreakfast see you soon. good morning. this is breakfast with ben thompson and rachel burden. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. thejustice secretary, david gauke, is considering a possiblejudicial review of the decision to release the serial sex attacker, john worboys. in 2009, the former black cab driver was jailed indefinitely, to serve a minimum term of eight years. the decision of the parole board to approve his release caused outrage amongst his victims, charities and mps. the governor of hawaii has apologised, and promised to tighten

chiefs. top of the league exit against montpellier. a challenge with plenty at stake. a loss would end their dream. tense, tight, not much space. but with 0llie on the wing, you don't always need it. this secured the bonus point which may yet prove crucial in the fight for second in the group. ulster, a battle to lead 4—1. that's where they have been. the french side seemingly unbeatable, not breachable. they go top with just one game to go. that is against wasps, who had hopes of their own

going into a 20—point lead against harlequins. plenty of rivalry remains. the margin, gradually reduced, as well as the numbers on the field. a red card. with the final breath of the game, harlequins let out a roar. it was an extraordinary win. the wasps need something incredible if they are to progress. europe have beaten asia to retain the eurasia cup. they had been down by a point going into today's singles but won eight out of 12 matches in kuala lumpur. england's tommy fleetwood was one of the first to get on the scoreboard for the europeans. it finished 14—10 to europe. laura muir anchored great britain to victory in the great edinburgh cross country mixed team relay yesterday. the former european cross—country champion was in fine form yesterday. she took overfrom champion was in fine form yesterday. she took over from adam clarke for the final lap behind europe and belgium, but made up the ground to win by seven seconds. she won't be

but talking about particular british habits, intangible cultural things with cultural status, many talking about the apology. he came out with an apology on twitter last night, saying he is not good at minding his strength. subtlety is not his forte, he said. they both apologised. from the most brutal of rugby players, quite astonishing. i could not imagine that in rugby league, though. thank you. apparently, all you need is some paint and a stone to ta ke you need is some paint and a stone to take part in a new craze bringing artand to take part in a new craze bringing art and social media together.

sinister. what? sinister? it is a beautiful hare. i am coveting crumbs from earlier so i will have a go in a second. —— covered in. from earlier so i will have a go in a second. -- covered in. you can send them to our e—mail while picasso as a go. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: the government is considering a possible legal challenge on the decision to release the sex attacker john worboys. the governor of hawaii has apologised after an alert was mistakenly issued — warning of an imminent missile attack. i think we slightly forgot we had the news to do. here's sarah with a look at this morning's weather. it's actually not a bad day for

going out and searching for pebbles, is it? it is a pretty decent steak and peta what we have seen. it has been cloudy for many days. —— at decent day than what we have seen. the cloud will tend to thin and break so for many of us, some sunshine before the rain and wind arrived in the north—west. for the here and now, reasonably mild. cloudy with a few misty patches. but it is sunshine for parts of northern england, north wales, down to what is the west country, patchy cloud elsewhere. the car cloud towards the north—west and that is ahead of this front working its way in. —— flicker. it is looking drive for the premier league matches today.

sunshine in bournemouth. —— thicker. slightly cloudier in liverpool. as removed through the seasoning, really strong winds, gusts of 70 mph potentially across the north—west of scotland. 60 mph as they rattled southwards. with heavy rain as well. through tonight, things will turn wet, windy and much more unsettled than what we have seen. the morning rush—hour could have some disruption with some low—lying surface water and strong winds. what we will notice over the next few days is much colder conditions moving from the north—west and that sets up —— that stays with us through monday to wednesday. heavy rain and strong winds slowly clearing through the day tomorrow and a return to something much funnier but colder with the shower was rattling in. —— sunnier. sleet and snow across the hills in scotland with some rain but

also some hail. a similar day on tuesday with not as many showers but they will have wintry feel. in the north, three orfour they will have wintry feel. in the north, three or four degrees. they will have wintry feel. in the north, three orfour degrees. in the south, we could see seven or eight still windy. the potentialfor disruption on wednesday. a low pressure system moves in and we don't know how far north it will get but we could see significant snow on that system as it tracks its way across the country. it will bring heavy rain and potentially heavy snow on the northern edge with strong winds. watch out for disruption through the middle part of the week with strong winds, snow and a change of weather type at all today, it is mostly dry and we could see the odd glimpse of sunshine. please enjoy the blue skies if you are lucky enough to see them. we will do our best to find them. ben is distract the event is doing

some painting. we will be back with the headlines at seven o'clock. but first it's time for click with spencer kelly, see you soon. i've had enough. enough of old tech. it's all going obsolete, or so it seems. even the days of desktop computers are numbered. right. let's see what they've got for us this year. the consumer electronics show in las vegas is the place to find out.

it's where the new products and concepts are launched for 2018 and some of them might just change the world. one of the highlights of ces for me is always finding out how bendy lg is. previously, they have been slightly bendy and then quite bendy. this year, i think they have nailed it. it's a 65—inch rollup display and the image quality is really very good. and it does roll completely up into an admittedly fairly chunky box. it's an 0led display, the only display tech that can be fully flexible. the circuitry is built on a segmented back so it is a bit like a retractable garage door. you can actually choose how far the screen rolls out as well as a widescreen tv, it can be used as a thin notification bar, a widerformat 21x9 cinema screen and of course nothing at all. the argument is that you can make use of the space behind it when you're not using it. and in south korea, a lot of people live in high—rise blocks. can you imagine lugging a 65" tv up

the stairs or into a lift? much easier if you can roll it down into a handy tube. elsewhere, plenty of other things to see and play with here at ces. here is a telephone from chinese company vivo that does not have a fingerprint scanner on the back, because it has one built into the screen. the 0led display shines light on to your thumb and an optical scanner buried underneath registers what it sees. here is the link flow fit 360. a necklace with three cameras that together live—stitch to make a 360 video. you can record a true first person view so others can feel like they were truly there too. now, it's important to catch the eye at shows like these

which is hopefully what this thing is doing. this is the hypervision display by kino—mo and is capable of projecting life—size images high above the show floor. all right, sexy, that's enough from you. here is the science bit. we have 24 rapidly spinning led strips. they are flashing different colours as they go around. it gives you the illusion of a persistent image. in the flesh, i have to say, it does really look rather good. don't build up your part. oh, good grief. enough flimsy flimflam from me. let's get lara lewington now with some of the big announcements from this year's show. and what a week it has been with news from tech‘s biggest players. including the likes of intel saying it will release software fixes to repair security issues surrounding its chips. good morning, dave.

we've had press events that have gone wrong with disobedient robots from lg. chloe is not going to talk to me, she doesn't like me evidently. and sony's robot dog wasn't that responsive either. aibo is an autonomous robot and will quickly become a member of yourfamily. right? he ignored me. meanwhile, a lack of female keynote speakers has caused controversy amongst attendees. a situation which has led to raised eyebrows, compounded by the inclusion of robotic pole dancers at a strip club near the event. and on the show floor, as usual, tvs were everywhere but this one really stood out. samsung wall is 146 inches wide and can be made even larger by adding modules. and finally, toyota has unveiled its new autonomous e—pallete vehicle, to be used for ridesharing, deliveries or even a moving storefront which comes directly to you. that was lara.

now one of the big things at the moment in wireless charging. that normally means putting your phone on a pad but it is also is possible to send power through the air. one of the problems with wireless power is that that power is sent in every direction at the same time so wherever your device is, it only receives a tiny fraction of that power. well, here is a system that gets around that by sending focused beams of power to one particular point. the power transmitter can be built into ceiling tiles, walls, tables or parts of the furniture. all it needs to know is which direction to point the power in. here is the science bit. to work that out, the device needing the power sends out low—power signals in all directions, most of which are blocked by nearby objects. but the signals that do bounce

around come and reach the transmitter come in at particular angles. by sending the power back at exactly the same angles, that power bounces about and eventually gets back to the device. the makers told us they can achieve 2 watts of power from a distance of one metre which is impressively about half the power of the smartphone charger. i'm using this light to detect the power beams between the transmitter and the blackbox transceiver. think about your home where you have smoke detectors. it starts beeping at night when it runs out of battery. you can charge it remotely, you never have to charge the battery again. but with high power beams lancing around your home, you have to wonder if it is safe. this technology is entirely safe. we look to get fcc approval for safety, that certifies the technology as safe. if you have accepted wi—fi into your home, accepting this technology would be the same. in the future, the power receivers

could be made into any shape including that of a aa battery and that means ordinary devices could be converted to wireless power without any modification at all. for a long time, bricks and mortar shops have been trying to keep up with online retailers who have the added benefits of keeping track with customer habits as well as providing very easy ways of paying. here is one way that we could see some of those features brought into the real world, by retrofitting existing stores. aipoly uses off—the—shelf cameras, one up here to track customers and one to take a look at the products and the customers interactions with them but the real work is happening here in the ai

algorithms were it is recognising all the products off—the—shelf and their customers interactions with them. but the ai is using the main camera here to keep track of customers. it can recognise faces, identify clothes and follow their movements. through the combination of the customers being recognised, and the products they pick up being identified, when they get to the checkout, they don't even need to scan the items. theyjust need to pay. and if they agree to be remembered for next time, then all they need to do is go and pick up their products and take them away. i'm having my nails done. this is the 02 nails printer. choose any image and they will print it onto your nail. of course i chose a picture of myself. 0k, richard taylor and nick kwek, beat that! refreshing! this device is actually creating a vacuum in my mouth. it's sucking at my gums and at the same time circulating

a flow of water around my teeth. it's intended for users with reduced mobility or people who have difficulty brushing their teeth. it replaces the need to brush and floss too. the guys are working on integrating sensors into future devices so that oral hygienists or dentists will be able to diagnose and treat for gum disease. and it's quite tickly too. ces can really take it out of you and i for one am already pretty sleep deprived. so what i have in front of me here is a device that's packed with all sorts of technology and the claim is it will provide within 20 minutes the equivalent of 2—5 hours sleep. there will be some electrodes that are put behind my ears here, effectively through this device, that are transmitting signals up to my brain. so i'm going to try this on and i'll see you in 20 minutes. i'll tell you what,

richard's got the right idea. walking around here, i'm absolutely exhausted. i'm definitely feeling more relaxed than i was, like, 26 minutes ago. of course i don't know how relaxed i would have felt with just a 26 minute power nap, but i'm ready to rock ‘n' roll! ah, vegas. home to world—class talent, and singing superstars. and then there's richard taylor and me. this karaoke box uses professional autotune on your voice, which, frankly, makes you sound a bit like cher on a bad night. # sweet home alabama...#. next stop, caesars. # lord i'm coming home to you...#. that is it for the shortcut click this week. more in the full—length version which is up on iplayer

for you to watch right now. we will be back in the us, specifically vegas, next week. don't forget to check us out on twitter for backstage videos. good morning! this is breakfast, with ben thompson and rachel burden. thejustice secretary considers reviewing the decision to free a serial sex attacker thought to have carried out more than 100 assaults including rape. the announcement that former black cab driver, john worboys, would be released caused outrage among many victims. the parole board says it's confident correct procedures were followed. good morning. it's sunday the 13th of january. also this morning.

panic in paradise. hawaii's governor apologises after a missilie attack alert was mistakenly sent to residents and broadcast on tv.
