hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. crunch time for carillion — emergency talks continue to save the construction giant who runs 900 schools, highways and prisons. but critics say warnings about the firm's financial troubles were ignored. i'll be looking at what it means for the 20,000 uk workers and projects like hsz. good morning, it's monday 15th january. also this morning — under pressure — ukip leader, henry bolton, faces calls to quit, after his girlfriend made racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee. inside the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh, where hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees have fled violence in myanmar.

in sport — its giggs for wales. the manchester united legend will be named the new national coach later — replacing chris coleman. and carol has the weather. good morning from outside the bbc here in london. i will tell you why you're a here as a go through the morning but in the weather, while we have a band of heavy rain and strong winds, behind it, we have lost three showers, some of which will be wintry in the hills in the north. —— blustery. crucial talks are due to take place between creditors and government officials later in an attempt to save one of britain's biggest construction —— construction firms. karelian is involved in hs2 construction —— construction firms. karelian is involved in h52 and crossrail and it has £900 million of debts. —— carillion. from schools, hospitals, prisons,

roads, railways and the national grid. carillion is at the greed of the vast portfolio of public sector construction projects and maintenance services. but it is in deep financial trouble. problems are broad and spiralling costs on some major here mean it is struggling to manage debts of around £900 million. and attention deficit of over half a billion. the banks that karelian owes money to will meet government officials today at whitehall —— carillion. they will be trying to avoid administration. they want the government to guarantee money if carillion can't make its payments but in fact, that would be bailing out a private company, one that had been paying out dividends to its shareholder was as recently as last june. —— shareholders. with hundreds and thousands of subcontractors working on carillion projects, the effects of the firm going under could be devastating. so much to chat about. we know the

talks are ongoing, steph. how did they get into this situation? talks are ongoing, steph. how did they get into this situation7m talks are ongoing, steph. how did they get into this situation? it is interesting because it is a huge company that runs so many different parts of our lives, hospitals, schools, as i was saying. also big construction projects. the problem is, there is not as much money to be made in these areas now. when these companies are fighting for government projects, they will often put in pretty low margins in order to be able to do it. if anything goes wrong in those projects, it means that if there is any delays, which they have been in some of the big ones, like the royal liverpool hospital, it can mean they don't have enough money to keep things going because they are not making a massive amount of money any more. they have seen big projects not make as much money because of delays and various other things. also some of their contracts abroad. in the middle east, they have been slow getting payments from that. it is

their cash flow. this is not a business that does not have any business. it not like when sometimes we talk about retailers and they have lost customers. it is the fact they have not managed their cash flow. they haven't got the money now to be able to pay the debts so they owe the banks a lot of money and the banks have been kind to them already recently by allowing them to not have too pay them so fast. it is coming to the point where everyone is going, hang on a minute, we have given the ages. what are you doing about it, we are still struggling to get our money back. that is the issue. even though there are lots of talks going on to work out whether they can afford to make these payments, the banks will be asking for a bit of a commitment from the government but then the alarm bells started ringing, are we bailing out another company? will that cost the taxpayer? . plenty more detail on that throughout the morning. there's mounting pressure this morning on the ukip leader, henry bolton, to resign. it's after his girlfriend, jo marney, was suspended

from the party for making racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. 0ur political correspondent, iain watson, joins us from westminster. iain, is mr bolton likely to stand down? hopefully we speak to mr bolton in half an hour. will he be likely to stand down? so far, he has remained defiant. he says no, he won't go. of course, henry bolton who was only elected as leader of ukip last september, he wanted the party to refocus on brexit. since then, it has been his personal life all over the papers. the most recent incident where those remarks by his girlfriend jo marney suggesting that mick and michael will paynter the royal family. mick and michael will paynter the royalfamily. she mick and michael will paynter the royal family. she has mick and michael will paynter the royalfamily. she has apologised. —— meghan markle will taint. there are a couple of current meps saying he

should consider his position. 0ne thing for certain, he has come back a couple of times before but we are told that nigel farage is not up for another go at leadership this time. we'll be speaking to henry bolton in just over half an hour. the government is being urged to drop its target of reducing net migration to the "tens of thousands" a year, because mps say it "undermines" trust in the state's ability to control immigration. a report from the home affairs committee also warns that a lack of official data has allowed anxiety over the number of people illegally living in the uk to grow "unchecked". our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, has more. britain is preparing to leave the european union and when it does, there will be a new set of laws about immigration from eu countries. some believe it is a chance to reassess the government target on net migration, set by david cameron eight years ago. net migration is

the difference between a number of people coming to live in the uk and those leaving the country. it is currently 230,000, more than double the target in less than 100,000. a target that has never been met. the problem with a target if it treats all immigration the same and we have seen strong evidence that people think different kinds of migration should be treated differently and you certainly shouldn't have a student in the target. that is why we think the whole target should be replaced by a new framework. we think the whole target should be replaced by a new frameworkm we think the whole target should be replaced by a new framework. in its report, the home affairs committee makes recommendations to resolve confidence in the immigration system and it says that the government should challenge myths. it calls for a three—year migration plan to build consensus. it also says an official estimate of illegal immigration is needed to reassure people the issue is being taken seriously. people wa nt to is being taken seriously. people want to see migrants contribute through the work, the skills they

bring. they also want a system that is competently controlled. the home office says it remains committed to reducing migration to sustainable levels. the department says bates nature it is not possible to produce an estimate. —— by its nature. president trump has denied being a racist — as a row continues over offensive language he allegedly used to describe immigrants from haiti and africa. he is accused of using the word during a private meeting on immigration in the white house. in his first direct response to accusations of racism, donald trump told reporters he had not made the comments. no. no, i'm not a racist. i'm the least racist person you have ever interviewed, that i can tell you. a cross—part group of mp's are launching an inquiry into what more can be done to tackle sexual harrassment in public places,

such as on the street and in bars and clubs. research by yougov suggests 85% of women between 18 and 2a years have experienced unwanted sexual attention in public. the women and equalities committee says it wants to understand why it happens and establish what can be done to combat the problem. a leading charity is claiming thousands of parents in england are struggling to pay nursery fees, because of problems accessing a government website. the pre—school learning alliance says glitches on the hmrc site mean some parents are missing out on their right to 30 hours free childcare or tax breaks. but the government says fewer than 2% of parents who have opened accounts had encountered problems. representatives from north and south korea are meeting to discuss details of the north's participation in next month's winter olympics. talks are being held inside the demilitarised zone between the two countries.

our correspondent, sophie long, is in seoul — has any progress been made? louise, these talks this morning have very narrow focus and that is the artistic troupe that north korea says it wants to send to the winter olympics which get under way in the south next month. details of the size of that delegation, potentially how they will travel to south korea and the exact performance schedule as well. last week, we saw government level talks taking place at the talks today are also happening. today, on the north side but on the south side last week. the delegation is different this time. there is a member of the lead singer ofa there is a member of the lead singer of a north korean girl band present. very different level of talks. we have also had a separate level of

development. they are talking about other aspects of their attendance at the olympics next month. that will ta ke the olympics next month. that will take place on the 17th of january. wednesday and again on saturday, talks taking place in the irc about the number of athletes and competitors that will attend. today's talks, just one level of many working level talks to take place in the run—up to the winter olympics in that north korea will send a delegation. if you have a fear of flying you might want to look away now. these are the incredible pictures of the aftermath of an incident at an airport in turkey. pegasus airlines boeing 7—3—7 lost control, before skidding off the runway, plunging over a cliff and coming to restjust before hitting the sea. pictures taken from inside the plane have also emerged — giving us an insight into the reaction of passengers inside the aircraft. incredibly, all of the 168

passengers and crew escaped without injury. just... terrifying. meters away from being in the sea. incredibly, they all got away. don't understand why all got away. don't understand why all how it stopped. we are also hit to look at the day's sport. —— why or how. i remember saying ryan giggs was in there. he hasn't got any manager experience, he is not interested in playing for wales. they say! here he is now,

about to be unveiled as the wales manager. it has had a mixed response. there's a press conference scheduled for this afternoon, where ryan giggs is expected to be named as the new manager of wales. he succeeds chris coleman, who stood down in november. it'll be his first full—time job in management — he took charge of manchester united for four games in 2014, after david moyes was sacked. manchester city have been beaten for the first time in the premier league this season — they lost 11—3 at liverpool — city manager pep guardiola said they'd learned good lessons — and they're still 15 points clear at the top of the table. britain's kyle edmund has claimed the biggest win of his career, beating kevin anderson in five sets to reach the second round of the australian open in melbourne. anderson was the 11th seed, and reached the final of the us open in september. and there was a major shock at the uk masters snooker — world number one mark selby has been knocked out in the first round, losing in a final—frame decider to mark williams. selby was also eliminated early in the uk championship last month. you going to hang around?

it's windy where you are, carol, isn't it? it certainly is, good morning, everyone. it is windy and wet for us this morning, the wind and the rain clearing into the north sea through the course of the day followed by some blustery showers. the showers across the north of the country will be wintry in nature, but at this stage mostly high ground. as we start the forecast at 9am, in scotla nd start the forecast at 9am, in scotland we have some snow showers, asi scotland we have some snow showers, as i mentioned, mostly at high ground that this stage. later in the day we will see them at higher levels, and some dry and bright conditions. living in the northern england, a plethora of showers, some of them merging so we will see some

heavy ones at times. that continue southwards through the midlands, east anglia, and the south—east quarter generally. this is where we have the rain and the stronger winds, continuing to push into the south—east. in towards the south—west, a wet start for you as well, as it is across wales. not that he could be cold this morning, though, still quite blustery. —— not particularly cold. as we head into northern ireland, some dry weather for you this morning, but there still are some showers. that is going to change. as we head through the course of the day, what you will find is increasingly the snow showers will come down to lower levels across scotland, and later on in the day into northern ireland. the rain pushes away from the south—east, with its strongest winds, but high but there will be a lot of blustery showers around. already we are in the colder in the north of the country, hence the snow getting into lower levels, but in the south we are hanging on by the skin of our teeth. through the day

you will find that as the cold air penetrates further south the temperature will tend to drop. as we head through the evening and overnight, the snow levels increasingly getting down to lower levels across scotland, northern ireland and northern england. you could cease no further south across the south wales and south—west england, but that will generally be with height. so tonight there is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces as well. cold in the north, not as cold as we come further south. tomorrow morning we will start to see the snow accumulate, especially across scotla nd snow accumulate, especially across scotland and northern ireland, but also to a lesser extent across northern england. still, any snow we see in the south will tend to be on higher ground. but there will be a lot of showers around, and some of those will have hail and thunder embedded in them. and we are looking at strong winds and gales in the south—west. still blustery day, a lot of dry weather on wednesday, but you can see what is coming in the west, initially in the shape of rain. this is because of an area of low pressure coming our way and at

the moment it looks like on its northern flank we could see some disruptive snow and on its western and southern flank we could see some disruptive wind. if you are travelling, that is something certainly to keep in touch with the weather forecast for. so loads going on as we enter this new working week. there really is, take care. we will see you later. let's have a look at some of the papers, and start with the daily mail, has we will be speaking to the ukip leader, mr henry bolton, at 6:a0am this morning. he is on the front page of the papers with his girlfriend, and many people saying in the party he needs to choose between being party leader and his girlfriend, so we will put that question to him later on. the main story, facebook peddling drugs to children on social media. the telegraph leads with patients' data, the data of cancer victims given to affirm representing

one of the world's biggest tobacco companies. i was just going to mention... this can be your addition, job! i will never get your job, you are very, very good at it. and on the front page, they are talking about carillion, and i am sure steph will give you details in a moment. the front page of the times, i mentioned the flight in turkey slipping down into the water. this is the picture on the front page of the times this morning. tha nkfully page of the times this morning. thankfully all 162 passengers escaped the plane fire. there was water on the runway, it slipped and careered down here and somehow stopped, and everybody got off safely. there is footage from on the plane as well. ministers dismissed warnings on failing firm, again talking about carillion on the front of the times. are you auditioning

for herjob now? and on the front page of the papers, a picture of ant, he is getting divorced. page of the papers, a picture of ant, he is getting divorcedlj couldn't ant, he is getting divorced.” couldn't see it, i was just having a look to see what you are showing, thank you! what have you got there? well, we are talking about carillion, such a big deal, such a huge company. 20,000 people working for them. but the huge company. 20,000 people working forthem. but the biggest huge company. 20,000 people working for them. but the biggest thing is, if you think of that one company, there are so many supplier companies who are owed money, for example, and thatis who are owed money, for example, and that is what the telegraph is talking about this morning. they are saying that given things remain in doubt at the moment, in terms of what will happen for the future of carillion, obviously it is really important to point out when companies are struggling with money, it doesn't mean everything suddenly stops. so even if carillion goes into administration, there is already a company in the wings, an accountancy firm who are ready to

ta ke accountancy firm who are ready to take over and carry on running that this is. but it puts into doubt lots of different things about the supply companies, what will happen with their contracts, with their payments, with all the people who work for them. that is the issue. tell me about the fun of the financial times. this is incredibly dangerous, but lloyd's of london, you know they have the amazing richard rogers building, apparently it is really easy to climb. has pipes on the outside, hasn't it? they have had 20 people last year who managed to climb to the top and get a photo like this. and at the end of that crane, i would say an idiot, getting a picture. they spent more than £80,000 on enhanced security to try and stop people climbing to the top. just a couple of bits from me on the sports pages. this is the start of the australian open in melbourne, so a reminderfor people the australian open in melbourne, so a reminder for people who want to watch the live sport that it is happening down under. roger federer saying he really shouldn't be favourite at the age of 36, but

u nfortu nately, if favourite at the age of 36, but unfortunately, if you are roger federer, you probably will be favourite for every tournament you enter until you retire. and some good news in terms of european golf ina good news in terms of european golf in a ryder good news in terms of european golf ina ryder cup good news in terms of european golf in a ryder cup year. they have lifted the eurasia cup, which is europe against asia, which as this writer in the daily mail points out, he says it is a bit like holding aloft the charity shield in a season when you are hoping to lift the champions league trophy. at some good markers have been laid down for european golf, in what will be a huge yearfor the european golf, in what will be a huge year for the team ahead of the ryder cup. so that is a lot to look forward to. shall we have a little bit of good news? yes. this dog called morse went missing, and he got stolen, he just nipped called morse went missing, and he got stolen, hejust nipped out... he may not have been stolen. he wasn't stolen, was the whole point, hejust ran off. they said two people put him on the back of a van, but maybe

they got it wrong. anyway, he is back. that is the point of the story. after several weeks, £10,000 reward, he is actually back with his owner. morse is a good name for a dog. that is what i was going to say. we will do papers later on, i will show you the uk's oldest ballet dancer, and! will show you the uk's oldest ballet dancer, and i will tell you a little secret about the next series of the crown. since august of last year, more than 500,000 rohingya muslims have been forced to flee violence and persecution in myanmar. the united nations has described the military offensive that provoked the exodus as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. many have sought refuge in neighbouring bangladesh, in what has become the world's largest refugee camp. our south asia correspondent, justin rowlatt, is there for us this morning. what are conditions like? give us a look around, what is happening there this morning? yes,

as you say, it is absolutely huge. there are 800,000 refugees in total, 650,000 just in this refugee camp. take a look at this, you can see, very densely populated. the biggest refugee camp and also one of the most densely populated, and these shacks which were made when refugees first arrived, with simple bamboo, and covered in tarpaulins. there is effectively an open sewer running in the middle here, which is why diseases such an issue. at the moment they are battling an outbreak of potentially fatal diphtheria. yesterday, or a couple of days ago, i should say, i went out with a team whose job it is to train track down people who might have been infected, and stop the disease spreading. this boy is category red. he has a serious diphtheria infection. this bacterial disease blocks the airways, and is often fatal if it isn't treated. it is also highly

contagious. it is this doctor's job to try and stop the outbreak spreading. he runs a team of outreach workers when a diphtheria case comes in. they work begins. they trek through this giant refugee camp, now the biggest in the world, trying to find people who might have been exposed to the disease. the outreach workers can see up to ten cases every day, which can mean a lot of walking. so the challenge for this team is to hunt down infection and then stamp it out. the hunt begins at the boy's home. rita and repa need to take care. close contact repa need to take care. close co nta ct ca n repa need to take care. close contact can be dangerous even if you have had the vaccination. some

members of the medical team have been infected. they explain how dangerous diphtheria can be, and give everyone in the family antibiotics. that. the disease developing. anyone who has been in close contact with a patient for more than an hour needs to be treated. —— that will prevent the disease developing. how dangerous is it out here? it is not as dangerous for us, but it is dangerous for the rohingya community if they were not vaccinated when they arrived. so what is happening now? are you getting this disease under control? we hope we can control it through vaccination, with preventative medicine, as well as treating the cases. the signs are that this disease, long forgotten in countries where vaccinations are commonplace, is now being brought under control. at the hunt continues. with more

than 800,000 people packed together in these vast refugee camps, the tea m in these vast refugee camps, the team can't take any chances. now, what you will be wondering is how the kid you saw in that report is, and! how the kid you saw in that report is, and i am very glad to be able to say he is recovering very well. but disease is just one of the issues they face here in the camps. i am joined by andrew gardner of the red cross. what other challenges are there, dealing with effectively a large city which has grown up here in this area? direct, without the right infrastructure and services, disease is a risk in the camp, given the density of the population, but also given how these camps are spontaneous, and people just also given how these camps are spontaneous, and peoplejust have also given how these camps are spontaneous, and people just have to use the available space. as you can see, most of the shelters you can see, most of the shelters you can see are actually built under the sides of hills. in the coming months, the rainy season will happen, and at that time, as well is potential for flooding, happen, and at that time, as well is potentialforflooding, there is also potential for landslides. so

making sure the infrastructure is right to protect people. but also we should as an international community not forget that the events here have also affected the local population here. prior to the population movement there was about 300,000 people, and now there might be between 800,000 900,000 refugees, which number three to one on local population. they already are poor and have stretched services, and they are facing the situation as well. thank you very much indeed. huge challenges here, and we will be continuing to report from this refugee camp throughout the morning. thank you very much for being with us thank you very much for being with us this morning. ina in a moment we will get the news, travel and weather where you are, but you have an update. you remember we had some cricketers torquay about the pod casts, and since then they have won best broadcast in the country, and test new show, and freddie flintoff has been named best presenter. is the best news

presenter? no, just best presenter. iam presenter? no, just best presenter. i am wondering how the others like that. and also, 500 words, radio two, and the launch of that. and we will be talking about the launch of that. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. detectives investigating an assault in fulham, in which two men were sprayed with ammonia as they sat in their car by attackers on mopeds, have released this image of a man named ameer makame, whom they want to speak to in connection with what happened. the attack happened on new year's eve, with one of the victims being taken to hospital for facial burns. bailiffs employed to collect unpaid council tax are being scrapped in one london borough, which says it is taking a more ethical approach to unpaid bills.

it comes after bailiffs were called upon 200,000 times last year by cash—strapped councils across london looking to get what is owed to them by residents. the idea of getting rid of bailiffs has led to warnings that debts to the council will nowjust rise, but the authority believes it is doing the right thing. ifafamily if a family is trying to keep the bailiffs away, and then prioritises the bill the council collect, they then might miss their rental payment, and then you are left with a homeless family being traumatised, but then resenting the public sector with a huge bill in terms of rehousing, and all the other impact that come with that. and you can see more on the story tonight on inside out london on bbc one at 7:30pm. a technical glitch is being blamed for a new announcement on london buses which tells passengers to hold on as the bus is about to move, which plays after the bus is actually moving. this is the announcement. transport for london says the alert is designed to help reduce the thousands of passengers who injure themselves by trips and falls on london buses every year, but tfl accepts it hasn't got the timing quite right yet. let's have a look at

the travel situation now. on the tubes, thejubilee line has no service between waterloo and stratford, and severe delays between stanmore and waterloo due to a faulty train. on the roads, in earls court, two lanes are closed on warwick road northbound for water works near earls court square, while in west london, chelsea embankment remains closed westbound for gas work between chelsea bridge and albert bridge. let's have a check on the weather now, with sara. good morning. we have had some wet and windy weather moving to london as we have gone through the night, and that is how we start this morning. and even when the main rain band clears away, behind it will continue with some showers. and it sta rts continue with some showers. and it starts to turn colder as well. you will notice that feel as we go through the next couple of days. so not a great commit this morning, as

i say. also windy, and the strength of the wind continuing through the day, taking the edge of these temperatures. ten or 11 degrees on the thermometer. certainly feeling like some showers in the afternoon as well. now that will continue for as well. now that will continue for a time overnight tonight, but we will have some clear spells. temperatures will be down close to freezing in our suburbs. tomorrow morning we have got some sunshine at long last to enjoy from the get go. but also a few showers continuing as the day wears on. look at the temperatures coming down, 4— six celsius by the end of your tuesday afternoon. again, the wind taking the edge of the temperatures. a lot of sunshine in the middle part of the week. watch for some wet and windy weather on thursday morning. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. it's 6:30. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning. with questions hanging over his personal life and political future — following offensive remarks

a mistaken someone you know very well that you can blame. he is one of the nicest of blokes on the tour. todayis today is the so—called blue monday. i feel all today is the so—called blue monday. ifeel all right, today is the so—called blue monday. i feel all right, actually. today is the so—called blue monday. ifeel all right, actually. the christmas spending hangover can ramp up. steph, christmas spending hangover can ramp steph, you christmas spending hangover can ramp up. steph, you feeling blue? this is when all the credit card bills land. they might not feel particularly great. nothing new, talking about debt. paintings on credit. —— buying. other people, just keeping

their heads above water. the bbc collea g u es their heads above water. the bbc colleagues have been looking at this and a special edition of insider. they spoke to a lot of people from all over the uk who stepped became too much. for me, personally, it's a generational thing. now i'm struggling to pay the bills and even getting onto the property, can't even find a home. paint the best deals and managing the debts, it seems impractical, impossible. even though sometimes unsmiling on the outside, i'm not smiling on the inside but don't show it. to them. it's like, sometimes when i am down, yeah, i'm fine, darling, don't worry about money. you know? some of my family have noticed how this is

getting me very down and i don't sleep a lot because it'sjust going round and round in my mind all the time. bankruptcy at the moment seems the best option. it was probably the worst time in my life. i hit the most almighty low that anybody could hit. i'm thankful that happened now. lost everything, my home, myj0b~ everything fell apart but i am so pleased it did because i don't think i would be here sat talking to you if it hadn't. it got that bad. i was in sucha if it hadn't. it got that bad. i was in such a mess that i almost ended my life. joining me now is jazmine birtles. they have been working on the inside

team. people might think they have got themselves in a mess but lots of people, it might not necessarily be theirfault. something people, it might not necessarily be their fault. something might people, it might not necessarily be theirfault. something might have happened out of their control. it's an extremely common thing. as a nation, we are1.5 an extremely common thing. as a nation, we are 1.5 trillion in debt. the majority of that is mortgages that we are over 200 billion in loa ns, that we are over 200 billion in loans, credit cards, that kind of thing. it is really common. as you say, with a lot of people, it suddenly comes over them. quite often, they don't really know how to budget. nobody has taught us, let's be honest. then something happens. quite often, if they are on benefits, there have been problems with universal credit. they haven't had the money and time. once you are not able to pay a bill in time, it increases. there is interest, charges, and then suddenly, you find yourself horribly in debt and you

don't know what to do about it. at that point, what should you do?” say to people going get help immediately. even if you think it is nothing, whatever, there are three debt advice charities, really good ones, like a step change, citizens advice. national debt line, christians against that make poverty —— against poverty. i had ihad an i had an experience lately where the payment was cancelled and it was handed over to the debt selection team, and when it came to sort it out, they said can you afford this? you are not stopping paying a utility bill to pay this, are you? so people are thinking quite differently about how are you prioritise your debt now, as well. absolutely, and it is good they are

doing that, because people have been literally not eating in order to pay bills, and quite often they are bills, and quite often they are bills that they don't have to pay. and this is another thing you can get help with from these charities. there are some bills you really need to pay to keep a roof over your head, for example council tax. people don't realise that is pretty important to pay. but the credit ca rd important to pay. but the credit card companies, although they will send you nasty letters and they seem scary, those ones you can actually put to the side and pay a small amount, just as long as you pay your gas and electricity. those are the more important ones. what they do all catch up with you eventually, don't they? exactly, so do catch up with them. even if you get a friend around to help you go through your statements, have a look at your bills, get an idea of where you actually are, and then they can sit with you while you phone up various creditors and say i am having a problem. because it is really surprising, when you phone your creditors, quite often they are nice. like you say, you phone your

insurance company and they are like, fine, we know what it is like. they are not always going to be like that, but often they are. and we will be looking at the issue of debt tonight at 7:30 p.m.. and we will be live at 8pm to answer your questions, details of organisations offering that kind of support. to have a look on their if you want to find out more. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather, and she is outside bbc broadcasting house in central london. it isa it is a bit blustery in places, and carol has lots to tell us. good morning all. that's right, and if you're wondering why i'm here, i will tell you as we go through the morning. something very special has

just arrived in this piazza. daniel was right when he said it was wet and windy. follow behind with a bit of blustery showers. wet and windy weather in the south—east will clear, but it will be replaced by blustery showers. if you are heading out ring a sturdy umbrella with you. 9am this morning shows you what is happening in scotland. again, a plethora of showers. some of those wintry on the hills, interspersed with some brighter skies. cold air is already in scotland, and that will fill south as we go through the course of the day. for many of us the highest bridge will be this morning. it will actually drop as we head into the afternoon. moving across england there are a lot of showers, some of them merging, some of them blustery as well. the strongest winds are across the south—eastern quarter. here we have the heaviest rain. that will continue to drift off into southern parts of the north sea and the near continent as we go through the morning. for the south—west it is a wet start for you. not cold, though.

in plymouth 11, they are already 11 in st marys. 10 celsius in cardiff, where it is pretty wet to start the day. for northern ireland the rain has already cleared and you are in a mixture of bright spells and showers. as we go through the day and the temperature drops, increasingly across scotland you will see some of the snow falling at lower levels. later in the day we will see that happen across northern ireland. tonight it will be northern england's turn. but through the day, for much of england and wales, it will be rain showers you have, and blustery. cooler in the north, not as cold as we come further south. through the evening and overnight, the snow will continue to fall across scotland and northern ireland at lower levels, and also increasingly northern england at lower levels. we will see some snow showers as well across south wales, and also the moors in the south—west, but most of those will be in the hills. and we are looking at rain showers elsewhere, some with at rain showers elsewhere, some with a little bit of hail mixed in. a cold night in the north with the

risk of ice on untreated surfaces. not as cold as we come further south. the tuesday morning, again we will have this in the northern half of the country, and through the day it will continue to fall. so we will start to see some accumulations. the most will be across scotland and northern ireland, though we could have zero to three centimetres in the north of england. in the south, a lot of showers around, some of those wintry in nature. most will be of rain, and we will have some hail and thunder thrown in as well. wednesday a quieter day, at rain coming in from the west. that is an area of low pressure coming our way. keep tuned to this, because it could be disruptive. it is likely to have some snow on it northern flank and on its western and southern flank we could well have some disruptive winds. so at the moment, well, it is kind of quiet. just a bit wet and windy, but some of us will see snow as it turns colder this week. we look forward to your announcement a little bit later on. the ukip leader is facing pressure

to resign after his girlfriend made offensive comments, including racist remarks about twins harry's fiancee, meghan markle. mr boltonjoins remarks about twins harry's fiancee, meghan markle. mr bolton joins us now. thank you very much for coming on bbc breakfast and talking about this. good morning to you. i am sure you have had a look at some of the front pages of the papers. your party are in those headlines calling for you to choose between your girlfriend and your future as party leader. so what decision have you come to? we have together made the decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end. she is utterly distraught, close to breakdown, of this. she never intended these comments to ever be made public. they were made sometime ago, and indeed, although utterly indefensible, there is some context to them, which in time will be

revealed. but the fact is that i am going to be supporting herfamily and supporting her in rebuilding her life going forward. you say they are indefensible and talk about that context, why can't you explain the context, why can't you explain the co ntext now ? context, why can't you explain the context now? to explain the context, she was talking about the fact that meghan markle could take the royal family, you said she had a tiny brain, and that this was britain and not africa. what is the context around those comments? in that particular case, there is no context that defends orjustifies the comments that were made. and i was as appalled and shocked as anybody else when i saw them first. some of the other comments she has made do have a context, and indeed, there are elements of that which at the appropriate time we will explain what they are. i understand this obviously has been a difficult

decision for you to come to, and you have been discussing this with her over the weekend, do you think this saves your position as party leader of ukip, then? what sort of work do you have to do now? the important work now is indeed ongoing. it is work now is indeed ongoing. it is work which has already started, which is to create a solid administrative, financial, logistical planning base for the party, so we can actually protect ourselves going forward. and i said a couple of days ago that what we wa nt to a couple of days ago that what we want to see was a coming together or co—ordination of the different leave campaigns, and a mobilisation to ensure we have the government delivering the mandate they were given on 23 june delivering the mandate they were given on 23june 2016. that delivering the mandate they were given on 23june 20 16. that is the co re given on 23june 20 16. that is the core task. the problem is it is hard for people to think about policy, because the headlines have been dominated by what has been happening to you. now, in terms of your future as party leader, you ran a campaign to be party leader based in you

being a happily married man.” dispute that, i was married, i still am married. but you did make that pa rt am married. but you did make that part of yourcampaign, am married. but you did make that part of your campaign, and you then enter that relationship with your wife. did you not use the fact that you were married as a part of that campaign? are you denying that?” was asked whether i was married and whether i had children, and i said yes. i didn't make a big issue or song and dance about it. the fact is i was married, i still am married. obviously there are things in my personal life now and there have been since before christmas that i need to address. but i didn't make that a central plank in any way of my campaign. my campaign was about getting the party on its feet, sorting out it internal organisations, so that we can deliver effective politics. and that is what i was consistently saying. can you understand why people would look at you this morning and over the weekend and question your trust and judgement? and not just the weekend and question your trust and judgement? and notjust people who may have voted ukip in the past,

whom i consider voting ukip in the future, but people inside your own party. to quote your own people, one near ukip activist says you must go before you destroy the party. another says there is scandal on top of scandal on top of scandal with the leadership. and bill etheridge says go now, go quietly, and leave us says go now, go quietly, and leave us to deal with what is left. because you are naive political lightweight. these are people in your own party. yes, indeed, and in fa ct two your own party. yes, indeed, and in fact two of the names you mentioned we re fact two of the names you mentioned were pa rt of fact two of the names you mentioned were part of the leadership contest themselves, and still have aspirations in that direction. i would suggest that those two individuals, mr walker would suggest that those two individuals, mrwalkerand would suggest that those two individuals, mr walker and mr etheridge, should actually start working towards the betterment of the party itself, working as part of a team, rather than coming up with divisive and self—interested comments. the point at the moment is that we have got to work together. if we fail to work together, then indeed the party will fail to go forward. and right from the beginning, both of those individuals

have been following their own path. how can you paint a picture of a successful future for ukip when it is all about politics and what is happening with you at the moment. in the last election you lost 3.4 million voters compared to what you got in 2015. does the party have an actual future? absolutely it does. we are moving steadily back up in the polls. one of the problems for the polls. one of the problems for the party was in total organisation, problems with internal communications, funding and so on, and campaign planning. these are all things which for the last three months i have been working hard on sorting out. and in the coming two months or so, those things will start to emerge more publicly, and you will see the impact of what i have been doing. so this doesn't... you don't turn around a political party overnight. it takes a bit of time. so indeed, there is a fine future. and indeed, the political

context at the moment is that the british government at the moment is not delivering on an effective exit of the european union. there is no clear vision, there are no clear objectives, and the 16 position papers they have put to brussels art...i papers they have put to brussels art... i would call them vacuous, they are very vague statements of intent rather than providing a negotiating base. it is a total failure back, and somebody needs to be holding the government to account and getting them moving, getting the planning actually mobilised, which they have failed to do themselves. before we let you go, you told us that you have entered your relationship with your girlfriend, jo marnie, and she has ended her relationship with the party. she has in my view quite rightly been suspended, pending the establishment ofa suspended, pending the establishment of a board to look into the case —— jo marney. and that board will be convened under the chairmanship of the director—general of the party. they will make whatever decision they come to and i will support that

decision, whatever it is. henry bolton, leader of the ukip party, thank you very much. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. detectives investigating an assault in fulham, in which two men were sprayed with ammonia as they sat in their car by attackers on mopeds, have released this image of a man named ameer makame, whom they want to speak to in connection with what happened. the attack happened on new year's eve, with one of the victims being taken to hospital for facial burns. bailiffs employed to collect unpaid council tax are being scrapped in one london borough, which says it is taking a more ethical approach to unpaid bills. it comes after bailiffs were called upon 200,000 times last year by cash—strapped councils across london looking to get what is owed to them by residents. the idea of getting rid of bailiffs has led to warnings that debts to the council will nowjust rise, but the authority believes it is doing the right thing. if a family is trying to keep the bailiffs away, and then prioritises

the bill for council tax, they then might miss their rental payment. and then you're left with a homeless family, being traumatised, but then presenting the public sector with a huge bill in terms of rehousing, and all the other impacts homelessness can have. and you can see more on the story tonight on inside out london on bbc one at 7:30pm. a technical glitch is being blamed for a new announcement on london buses which tells passengers to hold on as the bus is about to move, which plays after the bus is actually moving. this is the announcement. the bus is about to move. transport for london says the alert is designed to help reduce the thousands of passengers who injure themselves by trips and falls on london buses every year, but tfl accepts it hasn't got the timing quite right yet. let's have a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, thejubilee line has severe delays due to a faulty train. on the roads: in earls court, two lanes are closed on warwick road northbound for waterworks near earls court square,

while in west london, chelsea embankment remains closed westbound for gas work between chelsea bridge and albert bridge. let's have a check on the weather now, with sara. good morning. we've had some wet and windy weather move into london as we've gone through the night, and that's how we start this morning. and, even when the main rain band clears away, behind it will continue with some showers, and it starts to turn colder, as well. you'll notice that feel as we go through the next couple of days. so not a great commute this morning, as i say. also windy, and the strength of the wind continuing also windy, and the strength of the wind continuing through the day, taking the edge off these temperatures. ten or 11 degrees on the thermometer. certainly feeling like some showers in the afternoon, as well. now, they'll continue for a time overnight tonight, but we'll have some clear spells.

temperatures will be down close to freezing in our suburbs. tomorrow morning we've got some sunshine, at long last, to enjoy from the get go, but also a few showers continuing as the day wears on. look at the temperatures coming down, 4—6 celsius by the end of your tuesday afternoon. and again, the wind taking the edge off the temperatures. a lot of sunshine in the middle part of the week. watch for some wet and windy weather on thursday morning. va nessa vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london andi vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london and i will be back in half an hour with the next update. hello, this is breakfast, with dan walker and louise minchin. willian has gone into liquidation. —— carillion has gone into liquidation. i'll be looking at what it means for the 20,000 uk workers and projects like hs2. good morning, it's

monday 15th january. also this morning — under pressure — ukip leader, henry bolton, faces calls to quit, after his girlfriend made racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee. we have both made the agreement that the romantic element of our relationship should end. she is close to breakdown over all of this. inside the world's largest refugee camp in bangladesh, where hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees have fled violence in myanmar. in sport — its giggs for wales. the manchester united legend will be named the new national coach later — replacing chris coleman. and carol has the weather. morning. we are outside the bbc in

london it has been wet. we have gusty winds moving across the south—western quarter. we have blustery showers following on. more details in 15 minutes. carroll, thank you, we can see that it is windy. last bid talks to secure a rescue package for construction firm carillion have failed — and in the last few minutes it's been announced the company is entering liquidation. carillion — which is involved in projects including hs2 and crossrail — has 900—million pounds worth of debts. steph‘s here with more. how did carillion get into this situation? they run so many different types of projects. they are building lots of things like the royal liverpool hospital, the aberdeen pass. they are also doing a lot of maintenance

and facilities across the public. they serve 36,000 school dinners every single day. a big portfolio. the company is now what is called compulsory liquidation. that means the company is now going to be wound up. they are going to sell off the assets in order to be able to recoup some of the money they owe the banks and the rest of the creditors. this isa and the rest of the creditors. this is a company that has really struggled with a huge debt pile. they have £900 million worth of debt and on top of that, a huge deficit of nearly half a billion. ——a huge pension deficit. there has been a cash flow problem. now it is the case of the banks and the people owed money wants their money. that is when the company is being liquidated. administration would

have seen them continue. with administration, a company will come m, administration, a company will come in, ernstand administration, a company will come in, ernst and young, for example, they will try and run the business as is and trains sell it. liquidation is where it is literally wound up and they have to sell off their bit as fast as they can in order to get the money back. what it means in the short—term for everyone who is now thinking, hang on a minute, what about all of these things they run, we have been told that the government will be providing the necessary funding required by the official receiver to maintain the public services carried out by carillion. subcontractors and suppliers. it is a case of now the management will be completely different in terms of how they run

this and clearly the priority for them, the government needs to make sure the public services still happen. you talk about the size of the problem, we will be talking to union westminster. it will be injured in to hear about the political implication. —— ian in westminster. huge news. bury bad news for those who work for carillion but i think they will be political implications. labour is ramping up pressure on the government. —— very ramping up pressure on the government. —— very bad news. why had they awarded the rail link to carillion after the warnings. they had taken a huge diet and why would the government either not engaging, as they would see it, with carillion, or doing infact

as they would see it, with carillion, or doing in fact the opposite and awarding contracts to a company that was in trouble. there is also across party company of mps, the conservative mp benjenkin, he says his public administration will wa nt to says his public administration will want to look into this issue as well. issues for the government and the very top of management of carillion to answer as to why they have reached this situation of going into liquidation, compulsory liquidation. a very serious move. will be those questions to the shadow business secretary on bbc brea kfast shadow business secretary on bbc breakfast this morning. there's mounting pressure this morning on the ukip leader, henry bolton, to resign. it's after his girlfriend, jo marney, was suspended from the party for making racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. our political correspondent, iain watson, joins us from westminster. iain, is mr bolton likely to stand down? he was told he had to make a choice

at between hisjob he was told he had to make a choice at between his job and he was told he had to make a choice at between hisjob and his girlfriend. don't forget what she was accused of, racist comments including suggesting that meghan markle would taint the royal family. further disparaging comments. effectively, she apologised for the reckless comments but they were taken out of context. nonetheless, in the past few minutes, bolton told this programme... we have together made the decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end. she is utterly distraught, close to breakdown, over all of this. she never intended these comments to ever be made public. they were made ago. indeed, although utterly indefensible, there is some context to them. —— they were made some time ago. in time, they will be

revealed. i will be supporting her family and supporting her and rebuilding her life going forward. element he said he will help her rebuild her life. -- he said he will help her. it suggests he has sympathy forjo marney rather than condemnation. he was elected back in september as the leader of ukip. nonetheless, the pressure of him to go nonetheless, the pressure of him to 9° -- nonetheless, the pressure of him to go —— for him to go will be there still. two former leadership candidates are saying it is just scandal after scandal with henry bolton. the people of ukip want him to end their political relationship with them. we know that carillion has gone into liquidation and we will be speaking

to the shadow business secretary coming up. the government is being urged to drop its target of reducing net migration to the "tens of thousands" a year, because mps say it "undermines" trust in the state's ability to control immigration. a report from the home affairs committee also warns that a lack of official data has allowed anxiety over the number of people illegally living in the uk to grow "unchecked". our home affairs correspondent, danny shaw, has more. —— president trump has denied being a racist — as a row continues over offensive language he allegedly used to describe immigrants from haiti and africa. he is accused of using the word during a private meeting on immigration in the white house. in his first direct response to accusations of racism, donald trump told reporters he had not made the comments. will bring you the clever bit later in the programme. a leading charity is claiming thousands of parents in england are struggling to pay nursery fees,

because of problems accessing a government website. the pre—school learning alliance says glitches on the hmrc site mean some parents are missing out on their right to 30 hours free childcare or tax breaks. but the government says fewer than 2% of parents who have opened accounts had encountered problems. if you have a fear of flying you might want to look away now. these are the incredible pictures of the aftermath of an incident at an airport in turkey. pegasus airlines boeing 7—3—7 lost control, before skidding off the runway, plunging over a cliff and coming to restjust before hitting the sea. pictures taken from inside the plane have also emerged — giving us an insight into the reaction of passengers inside the aircraft. incredibly, all of the 168 passengers and crew escaped without injury. banks have been with us this

morning. plenty of breaking news on brea kfast morning. plenty of breaking news on breakfast this morning. as we've just been hearing, last ditch attempts to save one of britain's biggest construction firms, carillion, have failed. in the last half hour, the company has revealed it has no choice but to take steps to enter into liquidation with immediate effect. carillion was involved in projects including hs2 and crossrail and directly employed more than 20,000, with many more on contracts. joining us now is the shadow buisness secretary, rebecca long—bailey. it has gone into liquidation, it has a huge amount of employees and obviously big projects ongoing. what, for you, is the priority this moment? it is extremely worrying and there will be a lot of workers this morning worrying about their future and not to mention the companies in the supply chain of those relying on

the supply chain of those relying on the compa ny‘s the supply chain of those relying on the company's pension fund. the company must act quickly. we have been asking them to step in and take these contracts back into public control so there is no delay in the provision of any particular services. we are also asking for a full investigation into the government's conduct of this matter. this company issued three profit warnings in the last six months and yet, despite those warnings, the government continued to grant contracts government continued to grant co ntra cts to government continued to grant contracts to this company. this com pletely contracts to this company. this completely contravenes policy. the strategic management of risks. they were entitled to deem this company as high risk and they didn't do this. they should have ensured that crown official was appointed to deal with the company and mitigate any potential losses that might have occurred. those are the questions that will be asked in the days to come. a stalk about today. we have a statement from carillion and says, "we understand that the government will providing the necessary funding

required to maintain public services carried out by carillion and related suppliers." from carried out by carillion and related suppliers. " from what carried out by carillion and related suppliers." from what we understand, school meals will still happen. you'll agree what to see full details from the government today we expect a statement. ——. details from the government today we expect a statement. --. we want to see full details. we don't want to see full details. we don't want to see the companies that are profitable simply sold on and the ones that aren't cut off. we want to see this fully examined, in detail. by see this fully examined, in detail. by the actions of the company but the actions of the government itself. in the meantime, we also need to make sure that all of these contracts are brought back into public control. there is public sector contracts, private sector contracts. bello we are talking about public sector contracts. —— we are talking about the public sector. there are some things we are not

concerned with. all of the government contracts that carillion holds. are you concerned, for example, about the funding of all of this? i have quite a lot of concerns about that. we want to see exactly what is being put on the table, make sure that the british taxpayer is not going to lose out by the actions of the government and this company, and we need a full plan going forward not just about and we need a full plan going forward notjust about dealing with theissues forward notjust about dealing with the issues today, of making sure there is a seamless provision of service. we want to find out why this happened. why did the government not act when profit warnings were issued? why have they chosen to wait until the 11th hour to step in and try and remediate any potential losses that might be incurred. one of the reasons, and there will be obviously a myriad of reasons, and we will discover all of these. part of the reason why

carillion have been in trouble is down to pfi, private finance initiatives. so many of those were rolled out during a labour government. do you in some ways feel responsible? well, it has been eight yea rs responsible? well, it has been eight years since we had a labour government in power, and there have been a lot of lessons learnt across all political parties about pfi, it simply doesn't work. when you have contracts such as one in bristol when the school was charged £8,000 for a blind, we know this isn't a system that works. so you are admitting that pfi, in your view it was wrong to do that.” admitting that pfi, in your view it was wrong to do that. i don't agree with pfi at all, i don't think it was the delivery method that should have been used, and i understand at the time it was used it was supposed to mitigate the risk to the public sector, but that is not what has happened in practice. we need to recognise that and we need a new method to provide these public infrastructure schemes, and also a sta ke. infrastructure schemes, and also a stake. iron it is a worrying time for all those people watching brea kfast for all those people watching breakfast this morning who in some pa rt breakfast this morning who in some part work for or supply carillion. what can you do to help reassure

them that they will be... this will be sorted out? well, the government has to step in immediately. that is the crucial factor here that needs to be put into place today. that will give reassurance to workers that they will be transferred across into potential government institutions which will provide these services. it will also give comfort to those companies in the supply chain who rely on carillion. thank you very much for being here, and we will of course be putting in calls as well to the government to get a response. thank you very much for your time. that is our lead story this morning. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather, and she is outside bbc broadcasting house, in central london. when are you going to reveal this big secret? is it later on, after eighta.m.? big secret? is it later on, after eight a.m. ? that's right, big secret? is it later on, after eight a.m.? that's right, at big secret? is it later on, after eight a.m. ? that's right, at 8am we have something very exciting in the alps with us, but all will be revealed. —— piazza. some of us will

cease no, even at lower levels, and the wind will strengthen. if we focus on today first of all, rain across the south—east with gusty winds. that will clear, and then all of us are looking at blustery showers. some wintry this morning. increasingly through the day, as temperatures dropped, we will see that at lower levels. we start the forecast at 9am in scotland. you can see where we have the showers, at this stage the winter in is in the hills. some dry and bright conditions, and into northern england we are back in the showers. showers through the midlands, some of those merging, and from east anglia in towards the south—eastern quarter generally, this is where we have the heaviest rain continuing to push towards the south—east, eventually clearing, accompanied by gusty winds. in southern counties generally we are looking at a wet start to the day. there are some showers, some of those heavy. 11 in plymouth by 9am, so not particular

cold. ten in cardiff, and across much of wales again it is a wet start for you. we are looking at showers, but some of them merging. northern ireland, the rain has cleared you, so you will have a mixture of bright spells and some showers. through the course of the day, the cold air already in scotla nd day, the cold air already in scotland starts to sink a bit further south. the wintry showers in scotla nd further south. the wintry showers in scotland increasingly getting to lower levels. they are showers, so not all of us will see them. the rain clears away from the south—east and for england, wales and northern ireland we are looking at leicester is showers. later in the day we will see some wintriness getting down to lower levels in northern ireland as well. temperatures colder in the north but not as cold in the south. through the evening and the overnight period, we continue with snow at lower levels in parts of scotland, northern ireland and northern england. light windy as well. further south there will be some wintriness in the forecast for south wales, the moors of the south—west, but the wintriness will tend to be a height at lower levels.

we are looking at showers and perhaps some hail in there. the risk of ice with lower temperatures in the north, not as cold further south but it will feel cold. tuesday, we are starting to see the snow accumulates across northern england, northern ireland and scotland. snow showers almost anywhere, but as we come further south most of them will be in the hills, and we are looking at some hail and some thunder, the colder air filtering further south. that leads us into wednesday, where it isa that leads us into wednesday, where it is a quieter day. a lot of dry weather, with a few showers, but rain coming in from the west. that is an area of low pressure. at this stage it is looking quite potent. it may bring some disruptive weather. in the north we could see some snow, in the west in the south we could see some very strong in the west in the south we could see some very strong winds. if you are travelling wednesday into thursday, keep in touch with the weather forecast. we have been warned, thank you very much indeed. since august of last year,

more than 500,000 rohingya muslims have been forced to flee violence and persecution in myanmar. the united nations has described the military offensive that provoked the exodus as a textbook example of ethnic cleansing. many have sought refuge in neighbouring bangladesh, in what has become the world's largest refugee camp. our south asia correspondent justin rowlatt is there for us this morning. justin, we can see what conditions are like in some ways, but tell us what you have been finding. yes, there are 800,000 people packed in to the refugee camps just in this area, and you can get an idea of what life is like for them, just looking at the scene we see here. take a look at this. down in the middle, you can see the pump in the middle, you can see the pump in the middle and what is effectively an open sewer running through the lane. at the houses. these houses were built the refugees when they first arrived here. they are made out of bamboo and tarpaulin. very rudimentary, and in just

bamboo and tarpaulin. very rudimentary, and injust a couple of months the first cyclones are meant to come in, the beginning of the rainy season which comes in the summer. so these are very vulnerable, and these densely packed communities explain why disease is spreading through these communities. at the moment they are battling an outbreak of deadly diphtheria. a couple of days ago i was out with outreach workers whose job it was to try and find people who might be infected, and stop this outbreak spreading. yassim is category red. he has a serious diphtheria infection. this bacterial disease blocks the airways, and is often fatal if it isn't treated. it is also highly contagious. it is dr haldar‘s job to try and stop the outbreak spreading. he runs a team of outreach workers. when a diphtheria case comes in, their work begins. they trek through this giant refugee camp, now the biggest in the world, trying to find people who might have been exposed to the disease. the outreach workers can see up

to ten cases every day, which can mean a lot of walking. so the challenge for this team is to hunt down infection, and then stamp it out. the hunt begins at yassim's home. rita and repa need to take care. close contact can be dangerous, even if you have had the vaccination. some members of the medical team have been infected. they explain how dangerous diphtheria can be, and give everyone in the family antibiotics. that will stop the disease developing. anyone who has been in close contact with a patient for more than an hour needs to be treated.

well, listen, how dangerous is it for us, just sitting out here? it's not as dangerous for us, but it's dangerous for the rohingya community, if they were not vaccinated when they arrived. so what is happening now? are you getting this disease under control? we hope that we can control it through vaccination, with preventative medicine, as well as with treating the cases. the signs are that this disease, long forgotten in countries where vaccination is commonplace, is now being brought under control. but the hunt continues. with more than 800,000 people packed together in these vast refugee camps, the team can't take any chances. soiam so i am sure you will be wondering how yassim, the boy we featured at the beginning of the report, is, and

iam the beginning of the report, is, and i am pleased to say he is doing very well. iam joined by i am pleased to say he is doing very well. i am joined by a representative from the unhcr. what challenges are there for refugees living in these huge camps? well, what the refugees tell us if they wa nt what the refugees tell us if they want what we want. they want to be safe and secure, they want their children to be safe and secure. they wa nt children to be safe and secure. they want health, they want to be able to cook a decent meal. nutrition for their children. they want a future for their children, that they can do something recreational, educational, and they want to be able to support themselves. they are a resilient. they built these shelters, and they ca re they built these shelters, and they care for their elderly, and they are extremely close with each other. and so our extremely close with each other. and so our priority at the un refugee agency, unhcr, is to build on the resilience and capacities by recruiting community outreach members, and get information on their needs and priorities. thank you very much indeed, and i can endorse what she said. i have been

here since the beginning of this crisis and the refugees really have shown incredible resilience. we will be reporting here throughout the day on the bbc. enqueue much, thank you. —— thank you very much. thank you. you are watching breakfast. still to come this morning: strange people are watching you say hello to your dad, and you are thinking why are you watching us? can we not have anything private? flynn was just four years old when his dad was sent to prison. he will be here to explain what it is like to have a parent behind bars. in the next few minutes we will have more on carillion. it has gone into liquidation. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. detectives investigating an assault in fulham, in which two men were sprayed with ammonia as they sat in their car by attackers on mopeds, have released this image of a man named ameer makame, whom they want to speak

to in connection with what happened. the attack was on new year's eve. the injuries are not thought to be life—changing. bailiffs employed to collect unpaid council tax are being scrapped in one london borough, which says it is taking a more ethical approach to unpaid bills. the idea of getting rid of bailiffs has led to warnings that debts to hammersmith and fulham council will now just rise, but the authority believes it is doing the right thing. if a family is trying to keep the bailiffs away, and then prioritises the bill for council tax, they then might miss their rental payment. and then you're left with a homeless family being traumatised, but then presenting the public sector with a huge bill in terms of rehousing, and all the other impacts homelessness can have. and you can see more on the story tonight on inside out london on bbc one at 7:30pm. a technical glitch is being blamed for a new announcement on london buses which tells passengers to hold

on, as the bus is about to move, which plays after the bus moves. here is the proof. please hold on. the bus is about to move. transport for london says the alert is designed to help reduce the number of passengers who injure themselves by trips and falls, but tfl accepts the timing isn't quite right. let's have a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, thejubilee line has severe delays due to a faulty train. on the roads: in earls court, two lanes are closed on warwick road northbound for waterworks, near earls court square, while in west london, chelsea embankment remains closed westbound for gas work, between chelsea bridge and albert bridge. let's have a check on the weather now, with sara. good morning. we've had some wet and windy weather move into london as we've gone through the night, and that's how

we start this morning. and, even when the main rain band clears away, behind it will continue with some showers, and it starts to turn colder, as well. you'll notice that feel as we go through the next couple of days. so not a great commute this morning. wet and, as i say, also windy, and the strength of the wind continuing through the day, taking the edge off these temperatures. ten or 11 degrees on the thermometer. certainly not feeling like it, with some showers in the afternoon, too. now, they'll continue for a time overnight tonight, but we'll have some clear spells. temperatures will be down close to freezing in our suburbs. tomorrow morning we've got some sunshine, at long last, to enjoy from the get go, but also a few showers continuing as the day wears on. look at the temperatures coming down, 4—6 celsius by the end of your tuesday afternoon. and again, the wind taking the edge off the temperatures. a lot of sunshine in the middle part of the week. watch for some wet and windy weather on thursday morning. va nessa

vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london and ina vanessa feltz is on bbc radio london and in a few minutes she is talking about tra nsgender and in a few minutes she is talking about transgender surgery, and in a few minutes she is talking about tra nsgender surgery, with and in a few minutes she is talking about transgender surgery, with a consultant. goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. one of britain's biggest construction companies, carillion, has been placed into liquidation this morning. government officials had been holding talks with the firm's creditors throughout the weekend, but appear to have been unable to reach a rescue deal. carillion, which was involved in many major contracts — including hs2 and crossrail — had 900—million pounds worth of debts and directly employed 20,000 workers in the uk. explain the difference between liquidation and administration. the imac this company will now be run by the receivers. —— this company will

now be run by. banks, suppliers they haven't paid, that is what liquidation means. the difference between that and administration, in administration, the company would carry on as normal in the hope of selling off the business as it is. in this case, liquidation, they are selling it off as fast as possible. element it is a huge company. ——. selling it off as fast as possible. element it is a huge company. --. -- it isa element it is a huge company. --. -- it is a huge company. they are building things like the royal liverpool hospital but also public sector areas. for example, they provide over 30,000 school meals everyday. there is loads of different areas of life. this is why people are so concerned. not least because there are 20,000 people who work there who will now be worried about theirjobs work there who will now be worried

about their jobs but the work there who will now be worried about theirjobs but the wider ripple effect. we understand from the statement put out this morning that the government will continue to provide those public services. it won't be a case to your kid won't be able to go to school this morning, it they won't be fed. it is the bigger picture. it is what will happen to the supplier now in terms of their contracts. that's what needs to be sorted out. we will get more information. our reporter, peter plisner, is outside carillion's headquarters in wolverhampton. peter, what happens to the workers now? bello it is unclear. 400 workers based here in the headquarters. —— it is unclear. there is 20,000 workers across the world working for

carillion. they —— theirjobs are clearly insecure. it is the company that "runs britain". it has evolved from a construction company to a services company, maintaining ministry of defence homes, building and maintaining hospitals and schools and some prisons. they have major contracts here in the midlands. you already mentioned high—speed rail. there is also a major regeneration in the centre of birmingham and that is a private scheme. no doubt, the company behind that will need to find a new contract in the coming weeks. there is also a public sector scheme for a new hospital and that is what is known as a pfi scheme where carillion is effectively doing it with their own money. it is unclear

what is happening. it is a sad day for the construction industry and indeed, the uk. step will be back in a few minutes to get us a union reaction. —— steph. uk's second biggest construction company, it employed 20,000 biggest construction company, it employed 20 , 000 people biggest construction company, it employed 20,000 people in this country, over 40,000 around the world, has gone into liquidation this morning, carillion. ukip's under—fire leader has told breakfast he is no longer romantically involved with the woman the leader of ukip is facing a growing number of calls to stand down this morning, after it emerged his girlfriend, jo marney, made racist remarks about prince harry's fiance, meghan markle. members of his own party are among those who have called for his resignation and have urged mr bolton to leave "quickly" and "quietly". he told this programme is leadership was needed to hold this government to account on brexit. the government is being urged to drop its target of reducing net migration to the "tens of thousands", because mps warn it

undermines trust in the state's ability to control immigration. a report from the home affairs committee also warns that anxiety over the number of people living in the uk illegally has been allowed to grow "unchecked" because of a lack of official data on the scale of the problem. police in east yorkshire believe they've found the body of a man, suspected of using a crossbow to kill his neighbour. officers in humberside began searching for 56—year—old anthony lawrence, following the death of shane gilmer on friday. his pregnant girlfriend, laura sugden, was also seriously wounded in the attack. a senior coroner will today deliver his conclusions at the second inquest into the death of the toddler, poppi worthington. the 13—month old was found with serious injuries at her home in cumbria in 2012. the controversial first inquest was quashed by the high court after it lasted just seven minutes and was shrouded in secrecy. 25 minutes until carol is going to

unveil a surprise for us outside that broadcasting house. also being unveiled today, we suspect it is going to be ryan giggs as the new wales boss. big issues to fill. the hopes of wales now, if they make it to another tournament, are pinned on ryan giggs. many wales fa ns are pinned on ryan giggs. many wales fans are saying he is probably not the right man for the job. fans are saying he is probably not the right man for thejob. a mixed response to the news that he is said to be named manager of the wales national side, succeeding chris coleman. giggs' only managerial experience so far was four games in charge of manchester united when david moyes was sacked in 2014. coleman stepped down in november, after wales failed to qualify for this year's world cup. after 30 games and 281 days, manchester city's unbeaten

premier league run is finally over. they lost 4—3 to liverpool, in an incredible match at anfield. liverpool scored three goals in eight minutes, to go 4—1 up in the second half. city did fight back, but they couldn't find an equaliser — they are still 15 points clear at the top of the table but liverpool are celebrating a famous victory.. it's possible that yesterday was a historical game. we will talk about it in 20 years when we watch back and think about the champion in 17—18, man city, lost one game because it looks like they will not lose another one. big respect for their performance and of course what we did today. liverpool demanding a lot, you make a mistake, they punish you. with salah, with chamberlain so with a team with the quality, to run and to make fast attacks. hopefully we can learn

from that for the future. and for the first time ever bournemouth beat arsenal, coming from behind in front of their home crowd to win 2—1 — thanks to jordan ibe. his first goal for the club and what a time to score it. britain's kyle edmund has enjoyed the biggest win of his career, beating the 11th seed kevin anderson in the first round of the australian open. he twice came from a set down and was trailing 2—0 in the deciding set before he took the match and reached the second round in melbourne for only the second time. he'll face denis istomin next. and there were a couple of surprises in the women's draw — venus williams and the us open champion sloane stephens have both been knocked out in the opening round. billy vunipola is set to miss england's six nations campaign. he broke his arm playing for saracens in their draw with ospreys over the weekend.

it was only his second game back after a long lay—off after a knee operation. there was a shock on the opening day of the uk masters snooker event at alexandra palace. world champion mark selby is out after losing 6—5 to the former world number one, mark williams. selby was also eliminated early in the uk championship last month. defending champion glen durrant has retained his bdo world darts title with a dramatic win in the deciding set against mark mcgeeney. these were this year's top two seeds in the competition. mcgeeney did have darts to win the match, but durrant forced his way back to win by seven sets to six and take the second lakeside title of his career. now, how about this for marital teamwork? england's chris paisley has won his first european tour title — and his wife was his caddy. he closed with a round of 66 to win the south africa open — and there to congratulate him was wife keri, who was carrying his

clubs for the first time. his regular caddie was on holiday — will he get hisjob back, i wonder? she doesn't know much about golf but she knows me better than anyone. at times when she knew i was getting a bit uptight, she would come me down. she was just a massive this week and i can't say enough about it. she obviously knows her golf as well. is not an easy job, being a caddy. it's not just well. is not an easy job, being a caddy. it's notjust carrying a bag. ata pink caddy. it's notjust carrying a bag. at a pink ——i don't think mind would cope. —— my husband. a quarter of a million children in the uk have a parent in prison, but it can be a subject that many find difficult to talk about. 11—year—old flynn is one of a group of children who have taken part in a new cbbc documentary,

which explores what it's like to have a family member behind bars. he's here, along with his mum, sue. we'll speak to them in a moment, but first let's see a clip of flynn sharing his thoughts with a friend. what's this prison life when you go to prison? there is strange people just watching you, saying hello to your data. you are just like, why are you watching, why did you need to watch us, do we not have anything private? to watch us, do we not have anything private ? — — to watch us, do we not have anything private? —— dad. iwant him to watch us, do we not have anything private? —— dad. i want him to come back so he can come and watch me play football. i'm always here when you need me. blair it feels good to talk to you about it. i've been keeping it in. -- i've been keeping it in. now you have asked me these questions, i have no more worries any more falls of. i'm delighted to say that flynn is

here now. great to have you. can you explain. it must have been a big step for you as a family to take pa rt step for you as a family to take part in this documentary. it was ha rd part in this documentary. it was hard because i was worried about the children and the journey that they would be taking, emotionally. it's something we all felt strongly about. we need to reduce the stigma attached to the subject because so many people find it hard to talk about. it's a difficult subject. you we re about. it's a difficult subject. you were talking to your friend, why did you want to talk about it? did you wa nt to you want to talk about it? did you want to tell other people what it's like? i wanted to tell people, people who have parenting prison, i told him all my feelings inside, what was wrong and all of that. there must be so many things that

are there must be so many things that a re really there must be so many things that are really difficult. you can't see your dad very often. what is the most difficult? probably that he can't give me hugs. tell me how it works when you go and visit him. you go in through the door and you have to ta ke go in through the door and you have to take all your shoes and everything off and fingerprints which the adults do and then you have to put your shoes through the scanner have to put your shoes through the scanner thing like the airport and then you have to go through a big metal detector which stands up. then you have to go through a big metal detector which stands upm he allowed to give you one hard at the beginning? when we go in, we can have a heart. —— hug. the beginning? when we go in, we can have a heart. -- hug. practically, it is not things you think about.

you love football but your dad has never seen you. you you love football but your dad has never seen you. you take videos and show them he can see you? download it onto a hard drive so when he comes home... what's it like for you, flynn? i don't know. do you find it difficult? is that why you find it difficult? is that why you find it difficult? is that why you find it hard to talk to your friends? kind of, yeah. you talked about the stigma. when he first went into prison, what did you tell the children and have you learned anything from the way that you have all dealt with it? initially, the children knew because when he was arrested it was first thing in the morning so we all witnessed that which was very traumatic in itself. i wasn't able to really tell the children an awful lot because we have never been in this situation before and there was no one in our area he could give us any

information. for any support. we we re information. for any support. we were kind of floundering. it didn't ta ke were kind of floundering. it didn't take them the first 6—8 weeks to visit because it was traumatic. and when the sentence did come, i wasn't really able to tell the children, because i couldn't deal with it myself. unfortunately our elder daughter, who didn't take part in the photos, she found out by social media at school, before i had even got home from court, which had a massive impact. so what have you learnt? were there other things that you would do differently, if you could go back? be as honest as you possibly can be, don't... once i knew the sentence, i couldn't tell the children at the time, because i couldn't deal with it, so ijust said he couldn't come home yet. when idid said he couldn't come home yet. when i did tell them, they already knew because people had been talking

about it. so instead of protecting them, i think i had about it. so instead of protecting them, ithink i had broken about it. so instead of protecting them, i think i had broken the trust that we have between us. so i think just be as honest as you can. that we have between us. so i think just be as honest as you canm that we have between us. so i think just be as honest as you can. it is understandable, isn't it? as a mum, you want to protect them. and how have your friends responded? how has that been, since you have told the people? they understand, but i think if they go out and meet another friend who has got a parent in prison, they will understand as well. and that is really important, isn't it? yes. now, i know you are a big football fan. do you know robbie savage, and if you are able to hang around, you will be able to get a picture and have a chat with them. i know he never played for spurs, but you can still have a chat with him. and that documentary is on cbbc this

evening, and if you can't catch it, you can get it later on iplayer. and this is the fun part where we go and see where karalis. she is outside bbc broadcasting house in central london. we are 15 minutes away from the secret, and it is a good one. —— where carol is. many of us are staying in the high single figures, some even into double figures. it is wet and windy. notjust have we got that today, but we also have blustery showers. so as a wet and windy weather clears away from the south—east, it will be replaced with blustery showers, and as we had through this week it is going to turn increasingly cold, with some of us seeing some turn increasingly cold, with some of us seeing some snow turn increasingly cold, with some of us seeing some snow and strengthening winds. so this morning across scotland we do have some wintry showers, but at this stage they are largely on the hills. showers will be interspersed with bright spells, and as is the case with showers, not all of us will see

them. across northern england and them. across northern england and the midlands, further showers, some of them merging, so you will see some heavy bursts. across east anglia and the south—eastern corner of england, it is wet. we have heavy rain, gusty winds, pushing off into the near continent. as we move along the near continent. as we move along the other side of the southern counties of england, towards the south—west, it is a wet start to the day. some showers or some rain, but not particular cold. it is very wet across wales at the moment, the rain continuing to go through the course of the morning. for northern ireland, the rain has cleared you and you have a mixture of bright spells and showers. through the course of the day what you will find as the rain and gusty winds clearing away from the south—east. then for most of the uk it will be a day of lost three showers, some sunny spells, and also we will see some bright spells. but the cold air already embedded across scotland will filter further south. so the temperatures will go down in the afternoon across northern ireland and the far north of northern england. increasingly we will start

to see some snow at low levels. especially for the evening and overnight. that is for scotland, northern ireland and northern england. further south, in northern ireland and northern england. furthersouth, in some northern ireland and northern england. further south, in some of the showers across south wales and the showers across south wales and the south—west moors, for example, we could also see some wintriness, but that will generally be in the hills. but with some of the heavier showers we could also see some hail. cold in the north, with some ice. not as cold further south. starting off tomorrow, the snow will still be falling across parts of scotland, northern england and northern ireland. we could see it mount up, especially the northern scotland, and for northern ireland, falling across northern england. further south, we could see wintry showers everywhere, but most of the wintriness will be on the hills. in some of the heavier showers expect some of the heavier showers expect some hail and thunder, with gales across the south—west. as we head into wednesday, a quieter day, a dry day weatherwise. some sunshine and a few showers and then an area of low pressure coming in from the west. this is what we think at the moment.

it will be quite potent and could wring some snow across the north of the country. but some disruptive winds across the west in the south, so winds across the west in the south, so something worth keeping tuned to the weather forecast for that alone, and everything else, of course. thank you very much, so we are waiting, and in ten minutes we will have the announcement, whatever the surprises. genuinely excited. we promised you steph will be back about 7:50 a.m.. talks between carillion, its creditors and the government have failed to reach a deal, and now the company is to go into liquidation. what this will mean for the more than 40,000 employees, including 20,000 in the uk, is unknown. steph is speaking to the union this morning. lots of people already bringing state m e nts lots of people already bringing statements out, because this is massive news. the tentacles of their business spread into so many different parts of our lives. i will tell you about that and then we will talk to unite about this. this is a company working on billions of pounds of public sector contracts,

in our hospitals, schools, prisons and railways. going into liquidation means it will now be run by accountancy firm pwc. they will be looking to see off assets from the firm. it isa it is a lengthy process, there is lots of uncertainty around it, but of course want of the biggest issues is what it will mean for the 20,000 people in the uk who work for carillion. joining me from london is jim kennedy, national officer for local authorities at the unite union. good morning to you. what is your reaction to this news, then? well, it is obviously devastating news this morning that we have had for our members within carillion and the wider workforce in carillion. the insecurity over the weekend, the radio silence that prevailed over the weekend, in terms of the future of carillion, was obviously unhelpful four are members, and of carillion, was obviously unhelpfulfour are members, and this morning, obviously, the latest news

is quite awful. and what we seek, obviously, this morning is some assurances from the government, both onjobs, wages assurances from the government, both on jobs, wages and onjobs, wages and pensions. for those directly employed by carillion, and indeed those among the wider supply chain, of which there are many, many thousands. do you have any ideas yet, jim, about those jobs? about the 20,000 people? have they been told anything yet? know, from what we are aware at the moment, there has been no news relayed to the workers at all, which is quite awful state of affairs. these are directly employed workers delivering in the main public sector contracts and delivering essential public services. so there is huge insecurity about jobs and public services. so there is huge insecurity aboutjobs and huge insecurity aboutjobs and huge insecurity aboutjobs and huge insecurity about the future delivery of those services. i mentioned at the beginning,jim, of those services. i mentioned at the beginning, jim, about the fact that this is a business with tentacles and so many parts of our lives. can you just explain a bit

about what types of jobs those 20,000 jobs are? they are right across the public sector. they include the maintenance of mod properties, they are dinner staff at schools, delivering meals in the nhs, and indeed delivering services in local government. so across the whole of the public sector, carillion has what you term its tentacles involved in this, and it is quite worrying, of course, that despite repeated profit warnings, the government still awarded a public sector contract, and mod contract, in excess of £150 million, after the profit warnings, and indeed after the profit warnings, the £1.4 billion contract for hs2. just looking at some of this, obviously you mentioned there about all the different kinds ofjobs, and we found out this morning from the statement that there will be funding provided to keep the nhs, prisons,

and everything going today. so it is not a case of those jobs have gone. those people will still be getting paid, thosejobs those people will still be getting paid, those jobs and services will still be provided. you are right, but a two line statement does not allay the concerns of the workforce. what we would like to see, i mean, these services are public services, and we would like to see those services brought in—house, so the profit imperative is taken away from the delivery of public services. the profit imperative that has spectacularly failed in the case of carillion. so what happens next? well, we wait for some statements from government around assurances on jobs and pensions, et cetera, and indeed the future delivery of those contract. i mean, this statement came out about an hour ago. we are in unknown territory. previously, when other companies have gone bust, there has been other private—sector contracts, contractors, pick up the profitable parts of those contract, and the nonprofitable parts have

remained in the public sector. now, that can't happen again. thank you very much for your time this morning. that is jim very much for your time this morning. that isjim kennedy from the unite union, talking about the 20,000 people who work for carillion in the uk. and i know so many people this morning will be really concerned about that, so we will continue talking about this story, and we are trying to get hold of somebody from the government, essentially, as so many questions have been raised there. so many will wa nt a nswers, have been raised there. so many will want answers, especially if you work for carillion or in one of the supply chains, as well. we will try and get some of the answers for you in the next hour. we will continue to interview henry bolton, the leader of ukip, who wants to continue as you letter. and as well, at the completely other end of the scale, which is what we like to do on bbc breakfast, we have andrew

fli ntoff, on bbc breakfast, we have andrew flintoff, robbie savage and the third member of their award—winning pod cast. flintoff, savage, and the ping—pong guy. and carol's dig secret revealed, coming up very shortly. i will sort my words out, we will see you in a few minutes' time. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. detectives investigating an assault in fulham, in which two men were sprayed with ammonia as they sat in their car by attackers on mopeds, have released this image of a man named ameer makame, whom they want to speak to in connection with what happened. the attack was on new year's eve. the injuries are not thought to be life—changing. bailiffs employed to collect unpaid

council tax are being scrapped in one london borough, which says it is taking a more ethical approach to unpaid bills. the idea of getting rid of bailiffs has led to warnings that debts to hammersmith and fulham council will now just rise, but the authority believes it is doing the right thing. if a family is trying to keep the bailiffs away, and then prioritises the bill for council tax, they then might miss their rental payment. and then you're left with a homeless family being traumatised, but then presenting the public sector with a huge bill, in terms of rehousing, and all the other impacts homelessness can have. and you can see more on the story tonight on inside out london on bbc one at 7:30pm. a technical glitch is being blamed for a new announcement on london buses which tells passengers to hold on, as the bus is about to move, which plays after the bus moves. here is the proof. please hold on — the bus is about to move.

transport for london says the alert is designed to help reduce the number of passengers who injure themselves by trips and falls, but tfl accepts the timing isn't quite right. let's have a look at the travel situation now. on the tubes, thejubilee line has minor delays due to a faulty train. on the roads: in earls court, two lanes are closed on warwick road northbound for water works near earls court square, while in west london, chelsea embankment remains closed westbound for gas work between chelsea bridge and albert bridge. let's have a check on the weather, now with sara. good morning. we've had some wet and windy weather move into london as we've gone through the night, and that's how we start this morning. and, even when the main rain band clears away, behind it will continue with some showers, and it starts to turn colder, as well.

you'll notice that feel as we go through the next couple of days. so not a great commute this morning. wet and, as i say, also windy. and the strength of the wind continuing through the day, taking the edge off these temperatures. ten or 11 degrees on the thermometer. certainly not feeling like it, with some showers in the afternoon, too. now, they'll continue for a time overnight tonight, but we'll have some clear spells. temperatures will be down close to freezing in our suburbs. tomorrow morning we've got some sunshine, at long last, to enjoy from the get go, but also a few showers continuing as the day wears on. look at the temperatures coming down, 4—6 celsius by the end of your tuesday afternoon. and again, the wind taking the edge off the temperatures. a lot of sunshine in the middle part of the week. watch for some wet and windy weather on thursday morning. there is more on the ukip row with

va nessa there is more on the ukip row with vanessa feltz. i will be back with more in half an hour. goodbye. hello. this is breakfast. with dan walker and louise minchin. construction giant carillion has gone into liquidation. the firm runs 900 schools, highways and prisons. critics say the government ignored warnings about the company's financial problems. i'll be looking at what it means for the 20,000 uk workers, and for government projects like hs2. good morning. it's monday, 15th january. also this morning: ukip leader henry bolton tells

breakfast he won't quit, after his girlfriend made racist remarks about meghan markle. together, we have made the decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end. she is utterly distraught. close to breakdown of all this. we'll be live inside the world's largest refugee camp, in bangladesh, where hundreds of thousands of rohingya refugees have fled violence in myanmar. good morning. in sport: it's giggs for wales. the manchester united legend will be named the new national coach later, replacing chris coleman. and carol has the weather. and something else, good morning. good morning from bang bang. look at this fabulous car! this morning, chris evans is launching 500 words,

a writing competition for children between five and 13 and part of the prize, the first prize, is a little ride in chitty chitty bang bang. let's hope the weather is better then, today it is at rainy and windy, clearing from the south east followed by a what blustery showers. more from chitty chitty bang bang and the weather later. excellent, carol! thank you! what a wagon! i enjoyed that. good morning. first, our main story. last—bid talks to secure a rescue package for construction firm carillion have failed, and it's been announced the company is entering liquidation. carillion — which is involved in projects including hs2 — employed 40,000 workers, including 20,000 in the uk. steph‘s here with more. this is a really significant story. how did carillion get into this situation? a huge company that has run out of

money. they cannot pay back the money. they cannot pay back the money they owe money to and so the banks, who are angry about this, and they're supplying banks, who are angry about this, and they‘ re supplying companies banks, who are angry about this, and they're supplying companies and other people they owe money to, that has got to a point where they have been forced into compulsory liquidation. that means now a company, an accountancy firm called pwc will take over the company and sell off assets to try and make money back to pay off those people who have borrowed money. the 20,000 people who work there in uk, we do not know as yet. we were talking to the union and they have not been told anything. this is a company who has its tentacles in so many parts of our lives. they run school dinners, they build huge hospitals, they are involved in the roads and railways. sub various people involved in different areas of our lives have said, don't worry, the

trains will run. network rail have said, whatever their involvement with us, things will be fine on the trains. the government have said this morning, they will make sure our public services are still funded. it is not like we certainly will not have children being fed at school. the idea is to run the buses —— the business but to sell off the assets and the background to get this money back. it is so complicated because it is the second biggest construction firm in the uk, involved in prisons, hospitals, roads, railways, it touches so many parts of people's lives and this is why there is concern, what does it mean for the suppliers as well? that is what has been called into question this morning. thanks for the moment. plenty of questions about that. our political correspondent, iain watson, has been following developments from westminster. what's the political significance of this, iain? in one of the papers over the weekend, it said that carillion

almost runs the uk, big political significance, the story. absolutely. the second biggest construction company in britain, so many employees directly employed and so many others directly employed and depended on contracts. they manage and maintain so many public services. the government is likely to make a formal statement but over the weekend, talks were going on in whitehall to try to avert compulsory liquidation. but those talks have failed, it has happened. now we are into a political blame game. labour have said, why was it the government awarded three contracts worth nearly £2 billion after the company had issued a profits warning? a signal that things were potentially going wrong. the share price had plummeted. get the comment was still awarding contracts. they want an investigation into that. and when it comes to this question of selling off assets, as far as the public service contracts are concerned, this company has such a big

footprint, a lot of activity in the private sector. some contracts were profitable and some not profitable and they want the government to take over all those contracts and not simply to bail the company out for the unprofitable work. so demands from the opposition and likely to be a cross—party investigation and the conservative chairman of the public administration committee. and just to give you an idea of how this is going to go for the rest of the day, within minutes of the announcement, the pro—eu group open britain were labouring brexit for the collapse of carillion. so a lot of people out to ascribe reasons for this collapse all the blame those in charge of the company or to blame the government for not getting involved earlier with carillion when it went into difficulties. we expect a statement from the government in the house of commons later today, but expect a lot of criticism as well. we will follow that and hopefully speak to david lidington later from the

cabinet office about that. also this morning. and we've also been hearing from the leader of ukip — henry bolton — this morning. speculation over his future in his job after unsavoury things his girlfriend jo marney said. he said he wouldn't that relationship with jo marney was desperate to stay as leader. yes, if ukip was a company like carillion, you would have seen its share price plummeting, it lost a lot of voters in the 2017 election and it has had four said that leaders since the eu referendum. what henry bolton was supposed to do was to get the party back on track and to take the fight over brexit to the government but his personal life is all over the papers because of comments by his now ex—girlfriend jo marney. to remind you, she made comments regarded as racist, including suggesting that meghan markle might taint the royal family.

she has since apologised and said those comments were taken out of context. many people in ukip felt henry bolton had to make a choice between hisjob as henry bolton had to make a choice between his job as leader and henry bolton had to make a choice between hisjob as leader and his girlfriend and he made that was very clear early on this programme. together, we have made this decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end. she is utterly distraught, close to breakdown of all this. she never intended these comments to be made public. they were made some time ago. and indeed, although utterly indefensible, there is some context to them which, in time, will be revealed. but the fact is that i am going to be supporting her family and supporting her in rebuilding her life, going forward. the question is whether henry bolton can rebuild his leadership. he has certainly distanced himself from his

girlfriend jo marney and he has said these comments were indefensible. but that seniorfigures these comments were indefensible. but that senior figures in ukip including meps and a couple of people who contested the leadership in the past who think this is a huge distraction and they want to see a fresh start. thank you very much. really interesting to talk to any number of issues. some sad news now. cyrille regis, former west bromwich and england forward has died at the age of 59, such a big name to so many football fans, a big hero at west bromwich and coventry and a pioneerfor black west bromwich and coventry and a pioneer for black players, appointed mbe in 2008. we will get more detail on that, but sorry to bring you that, news that cyrille regis has passed away at the news of —— at the age of 59. we will talk more about that later. president trump has denied being a racist, as a row continues over offensive language he allegedly

used to describe immigrants from haiti and africa. he is accused of using a particular word during a private meeting on immigration in the white house. in his first direct response to accusations of racism, donald trump told reporters he had not made the comments. you might have seen these pictures. if you have a fear of flying, you might want to look away now. these are the incredible pictures of the aftermath of an incident at an airport in turkey. pegasus airlines boeing 7—3—7 lost control, before skidding off the runway, plunging over a cliff and coming to restjust before hitting the sea. shouting. this was the reaction of passengers inside the plane.

incredibly, all of the 168 passengers and crew escaped without injury. but i am not sure they will forget that in a hurry. it is awful to think what would be going through your mind. 116 people on board and everybody got off the plane without injury, amazing. the ukip leader, henry bolton, is facing growing pressure to resign "quickly and quietly". it's after his girlfriend was suspended from the party for making offensive comments, including racist remarks about prince harry's fiancee, meghan markle. earlier, he said he was putting his party ahead of his relationship. we have together made the decision that the romantic element of our relationship should end. she is utterly distraught, close to breakdown of or all of this. she never intended these comments to ever be made public. they were made some time ago. and indeed, although

the week didn't —— indefensible, there is some context to them which in time will be revealed —— although utterly indefensible. but the fact is that i am going to be supporting herfamily is that i am going to be supporting her family and supporting her is that i am going to be supporting herfamily and supporting her in rebuilding her life, going forward. you say they were indefensible and you talk about the context, why can you talk about the context, why can you not explain the context now? to remind people, she was talking about the fact meghan markle could taint the fact meghan markle could taint the royal family, she said she had a tiny brain and she said this was britain and not africa. what is the context around those comments? britain and not africa. what is the context around those comment57m that particular case, there is no context that defends or justifies the comments that were made. i was as appalled and shocked when i saw them first. some of the other, she has made the do have a contract cost just a context and there are elements of that that, at the

appropriate time, we will explain what they are. x -- i understand this has been a difficult decision and you have discussed this with her over the weekend, do you think this saves short position as party leader, what work you have to do now? the important work now is ongoing and it is work that has started, to create a solid, administrative, financial, logistical planning base for the party. so we can project ourselves going forward. i said the other day that what we wanted to see was a coming together of coordination of the different life campaigns and immobilisation to make sure we do get the government delivering the mandate and june 23rd 2016. that is the task. the problem is, mr bolton, it is hard for people to think about policy because the headlines have been dominated by what has been happening to you. in terms of your future as party leader, you run a

campaign to beat ukip party leader based on you being a happily married man. i dispute that. based on you being a happily married man. idispute that. iwas based on you being a happily married man. i dispute that. i was married andi man. i dispute that. i was married and i still unmarried. you did make that part of your campaign. you enter that relationship with your wife. did you not use the fact you we re wife. did you not use the fact you were married as part of that campaign? are you denying that? i was asked whether i was married and whether i had children and the a nswer whether i had children and the answer was yes, i did not make a big issue of it. the fact is i was married, iam issue of it. the fact is i was married, i am still married. there are things of my personal life now and there have been since before christmas that need to be, i need to address. but i did not make that a central plank in any way of my campaign. my campaign was about getting the party on its feet, sorting out its internal organisation, so that we can deliver effective politics. that is what i was consistently saying. can you understand why people would look at you this morning and over the weekend and question your trust and

judgment? notjust weekend and question your trust and judgment? not just people weekend and question your trust and judgment? notjust people who voted ukip in the past and he might consider it in the future, people within your own party. ben walker says you must go. suzanne evans ben walker says you must go. suzanne eva ns says ben walker says you must go. suzanne evans says scandal after scandal with you at the leadership and bill eth ridge says "go quietly and leave us to deal with what's left. he calls you a political lightweight." these are people within your party? two of the names were part of the leadership contest and still have aspirations in that direction. i would suggest that those two individuals should start working towards the betterment of the party itself, working as part of team rather than coming up with divisive and self interested comments. the point at the moment is that we've got to work together. if we fail to

work together then indeed the party will fail to go forward and right from the beginning both those individuals have been following their own path. that was an interview we did earlier. shall we catch up with carol. we said she had a surprise. explain what's going on behind you. well, this is chilly, chilly bang bang. chris evans is launching a writing competition. it is a competition and one of prizes that you will win is a spin in this car at the hampshire court festival in june. so, lots of other prizes on offer, we will talk about them as we go through the morning. let's hope the weather is better than it is

today. the forecast today is a wet one. we have got heavy rain pushing away from the south east and for all of us, we are looking at blustery showers. so if you start the forecast in scotland this morning, at 9am, there are some showers around and some of those will be wintry. at this stage mostly on the hills. but what you will find later is the snow will come down to sea level, but the showers, so not all of us seeing it. across northern england and into the midlands, again we've got showers. some merging to give lengthier spells of rain. the heaviest rain is across the south—eastern quarter of england and here we have got gusty winds, that's what will push away into the near continent and the north sea as we go through the morning. southern counties generally wet. in plymouth the temperature will be around 11 celsius. but it is wet across wales at the moment and it will remain so as we go through the course of this morning. for northern ireland, the heaviest of rain has cleared you, but behind we are looking at a mixture of bright spells and sunny

spells and showers. now we've already got cold air across scotland and through the day that will sink southwards. some of us will see our maximum temperatures this morning with the temperature going down as we go through the afternoon. that's why increasingly we are looking at the snow getting to lower levels across parts of scotland. later, low levels across parts of northern ireland. the rain clears away from the south east, leaving blustery showers behind and again, some of those may well have hail embedded in them too. as we head on through the evening and overnight, increasingly as it gets colder, the snow will come down to lower levels, notjust in scotland and northern ireland, but northern england too. any snow in south and south wales and the moors and the south—west of england will be on the hills, but again, you could see hail in there. and temperatures, well, cold in the north, temperatures freezing or below, a little bit higher than that as we come further south, but it will feel cold. so there is the risk of again ice on untreated surfaces. tomorrow, we will be starting to see

the snow april cumulate across scotla nd the snow april cumulate across scotland in particular and then northern ireland and then northern england. we could have between zero and three centimetres across northern england for example and tomorrow we could see wintry showers anywhere elsewhere, but what you will find is the wintry flavour will tend to be on the hills, but you could see some hail and thunder and lightening. temperature wise, cold in the north and the colder air filtering further south. it is the very far south that hangs into the higher temperatures. as we move into wednesday, well a lot of dry weather, but we have an area of low pressure coming in from the west which at the moment looks like it will bring snow to the north of the country, but strong winds, positively disruptive winds across the west and the south. so keep in touch with the weather forecast, dan and lou. oh, well, indeed. you talked about the 500 word competition. we're talking about that later as well. carol, thank you very much indeed. it is one of my favourite films. i

loved it! it is that machine that he makes that makes breakfast that cracks the eggs and all that. your children can't enter as you work for the bbc. let's return to our top story and news that one of britain's biggest construction firms is going into liquidation. steph has been bringing us the details about the size of carillion, i suppose when they're involved in so i suppose when they're involved in so much of the infrastructure in the uk, it is those other businesses that this will impact on as well? that's right. it is a company which has its tentacles in so many different parts of our lives that there is lots of other businesses that rely on carillion as well and that's what we want to look at now. we are trying to look at every part of this. good morning to you. this isa of this. good morning to you. this is a huge company. working on billions of pounds worth of public sector contracts in our hospitals, schools, prisons, roads and railways. pwc will look to sell off the assets

to pay off the people that carillion owes money to because it is in a lot of debt and including to its suppliers as well. now, the chief executive of the specialist engineering contractors group. they represent many suppliers who work for carillion. can you explain how it works with suppliers and carillion? well, yes, every time you look at construction sites, you see the name of carillion plastered everywhere. the trouble is that they outsourced all their work. they did very little of the work. i think that the general public didn't really understand this. so we have a situation where all the work is done by suppliers and unfortunately as faras my by suppliers and unfortunately as far as my sector is concerned which is the specialist engineering sector

they are going to be owed lots and lots of money by carillion because of the work that they've done over the past few months and possibly years. so are they worried? are your suppliers worried? yes, i mean, they are extremely worried. i mean, we're quite annoyed actually at the fact that the government has effectively appointed even over the last six months a company that has really no assets to carry out millions of pounds worth of work knowing full well, of course, that work is to be done by the supply chain and it is the supply chain who is going to have to bear this massive loss and the question is to what extent can they bear the loss and the worry is that a lot of firms in the supply chain could end up going to insolvency themselves. so do you think the suppliers could collapse asa think the suppliers could collapse as a result of this? oh yes. it's ha rd as a result of this? oh yes. it's hard to say at this stage how many.

we're going to have to look into the extent of exposure of these firms this week. but there could be a large numberof this week. but there could be a large number of firms seriously affected, if not going into insolvency, but experience substantial financial distress. rudi, thank you very much for your time. i appreciate it is a quickly moving story, but that's it from me, for now, thanks. thank you very much, steph. we will be continuing to talk about it here on breakfast as well. thank you. what can be done to stop sexual harassment in public places? we're joined now by eliza hatch, a photographer who has worked with abuse victims. you started a project on this particularly. why did you want to start looking at this?”

particularly. why did you want to start looking at this? i started cheer up love a year ago and it is a project that retells women's accou nts project that retells women's a ccou nts of project that retells women's accounts of street harassment. i publish the stories for everyone to see. and it is called cheer up love because? it is a common phrase that i've had experience with in my life. i have had it many time and it doesn't get any less annoying the more you hear it. a man walked past me and told me to cheer up and it was a year ago and for some reason i couldn't let it go and i wanted to challenge that. you talked, didn't you, to your friends and both challenge that. you talked, didn't you, to yourfriends and both male and female and what was their reaction when you started discussing this? i started this project like i didn't know the reaction i would get. i didn't know if this was something that happened outside my close group of friends and when i started asking these questions and asking do you experience sexual harassment, i got two responses and

the first response was oh, yeah, of course, which one of my ten stories do you want? the other kind of response was, "i don't think anything that bad has ever happened to me." that's when i had to be like as anybody ever shouted something from a moving vehicle at you or given you an unwanted compliment or made you feel uncomfortable? then it was, oh, of course, the floodgates just opened. the women and equalities committee are going to look at this and they are asking for evidence from women and you are talking about evidence there. what do you think can be done to change? and just a comment like that, what do you think needs to be done for example? well, it is really about changing attitudes, i think, and it's really about kind of continuing to raise that awareness and education at a younger age, this being taught at school, you know, this is not appropriate behaviour, you know, you can't treat people like this in public spaces. i know for one when i was growing up, we

never had that education, we had your basic sex education, but there was never anything to do with like harassment. so i think really, if attitudes are to change that needs to happen. we have got pictures of some of you that contacted you that you've taken. have you had much feedback from men as well? yes. yeah, iwas, feedback from men as well? yes. yeah, i was, i feedback from men as well? yes. yeah, iwas, i didn't feedback from men as well? yes. yeah, i was, i didn't really know the kind of response that i would get from men. i was expecting a backlash, but the more positive responses that i got were basically i had fathers, e—mailing me concerned for their daughters shocked with no idea that this stuff happened and i even had elderly men get in touch with me, apologising and saying, "i had no idea. ithink i was one of those perpetrators. i'm sorry. thank you for bringing light to this." thank you very much indeed. i think that meeting with the women and equalities committee ta kes pla ce the women and equalities committee takes place in march and we'll report on it going up to that and after it as well. 5th march.

iam sure after it as well. 5th march. i am sure people can find out more online. yes, instagram. it's time to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning. if! good morning. if i could describe the weather in one word, it would be rather unsettled, and it is turning much colder today and over the coming days. a bit of snow in the forecast and much windier through the week as well. this morning, this weather front is bringing a lot of cloud and rain which clears through. behind it, cold air is taking

charge, we see showers which could be heavy and thundery. at around eighta:m., we be heavy and thundery. at around eight a:m., we have the rain across the south east which gradually clears away. a mild start under the cloud and rain. further west, limited brightness and showers merging into longer spells of rain. blustery conditions in exposed areas in wales. further north, a cold start to the day and potential snow on higher ground across scotland and cold start for northern ireland with showers dotted around. through the day, the weather front clears, and behind it, sunshine and showers. some of the showers could be heavy, mixed with hale and thunder. the potential for slow on higher ground across scotland and northern england as well. temperatures milder in the south and chilly further north, ranging between 3—5dc. tonight, we see more showers from the west. this time, wintry showers even at lower

levels across northern parts of england, scotland and northern ireland. this colder air is digging in over the next few days and you will need an extra layer. tomorrow, sunny spells and much of the brightness across the south east. further north and west, more snow showers. factor in the wind and it feels bitterly cold. you need your hat and gloves and extra layers over the coming days. temperatures more like mine is poor, minus five celsius. —— minus four. this is business live, from bbc news, with ben thompson and sally bundock.

the construction giant carillion goes into liquidation. shares in the company have been suspended and tens of thousands ofjobs are at risk. live from london, that's our top story on monday, 15th of january. carillion fails to reach an agreement with its creditors and the uk government may be forced to step in to secure jobs around the world. also in the programme: drama in jakarta — the floor of the jakarta stock exchange collapses, injuring dozens dozens of people. we'll cross to asia for the latest.
