who were accused of using prostitutes in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, as "horrific". the charity is also facing new allegations about some of its workers in chad. andy moore reports. after haiti, now new allegations about the behaviour of some oxfam workers in chad in south africa. they date back to 2006, and also involve prostitutes. the head of mission in chad at the time was the same man who resigned from oxfam five years later because of the scandal in haiti. oxfam said it was shocked and dismayed about the latest revelations from chad. it said it couldn't corroborate the information, but it highlighted unacceptable behaviour by a small number of people. the international development secretary, penny mordaunt, has now sent a strong warning to all uk charities receiving public money, that those funds will be withdrawn unless they can prove that they are cooperating fully with the authorities on safeguarding issues. she said: she called the behaviour by some oxfam

workers in haiti, "horrific" and said it was just one example of an issue on which her department was already taking action. the former secretary of state for international development is also calling for tougher action. this is now an opportunity for everyone to make sure that their very clear, notjust guidelines, but action will be taken and money will be withdrawn as well, quite frankly. oxfam said that after haiti, it set up a dedicated safeguarding team to deal with such issues. the charity finds itself at the centre of this particular scandal, but the british government says it is one example of a wider problem. let's speak now to our political correspondent, emma vardy who's in our london newsroom. these comments by penny mordaunt. how influential will they be?

these comments by penny mordaunt. how influential will they be ?|i think how influential will they be?” think they are really significant, because they point to concerns that the behaviour of aid workers over seas are not just limited the behaviour of aid workers over seas are notjust limited to the scandal over oxfam. penny mordaunt has spoken in strong terms today saying that it is despicable... many charities around the country will be receiving letters saying that you must set out what steps you are taking to ensure safeguarding. any safeguarding issues must be flagged up safeguarding issues must be flagged up to the relevant authorities, and any charities that failed to do this, the message is very clear, they will no longer be receiving government funding. penny mordaunt has set out her plans to meet with the charity commission to see what else can be done to regulate charities that work overseas. there are charities that work overseas. there a re really charities that work overseas. there are really big questions today about how much more widely this problem may go. penny mordaunt is acting swiftly because she sees the potential for public confidence to be undermined in the way that

foreign aid money is spent. more than a third of child deaths and serious injuries caused by neglect in england are linked to parents who drink too much alcohol, according to a new parliamentary report. it also found that nearly all councils have cut their budgets for alcohol support services. dad of six, josh connelly knows first—hand about the damage that alcohol can have on a family. his father was an alcoholic, and died when he was nine. i remember one particular incident, he smashed all the windows by the door, and he was waving a knife from one of the windows, and the police coming up and taking him away. at the same time i was trying to deal with it all, you're also tried to keep it secret, so it is aboutjust keep the suppressing it, and then you naturally get unhealthy coping mechanisms. the impact of parents abusing alcohol in england out of in a new parliamentary report. are outlined in a new parliamentary

report. it found more than a of child deaths and serious injuries through neglect were linked to parents who are drinking alcohol. one and two thirds of all care applications involve misuse of alcohol or drugs. and children with alcohol dependent parents had feelings of stigma, shame and guilt. the report also used data from a freedom of information investigation, which found almost all councils in england are cutting back their budgets for this kind of care. when we start to understand that addiction and alcohol is all based on trauma, it's all escaping some kind of trauma, if we understand it, helping children, we can begin to break cycles and prevent, you know, addictions of the future. the government says that work is underway on a new children of alcoholics strategy, it in addition to new higher duties to target cheap alcohol.

josh has turned his life around, but he believes that there are many children who will end up suffering the foreign secretary borisjohnson has met the myanmar leader aung san suu kyi for talks, a day after saying rohigya refugees should be allowed a safe and dignified return. daily 700,000 rohingya amid muslims have crossed the border into bangladesh, after problems with the military. —— nearly 700,000. there were smiles this morning as borisjohnson shook hands with aung san suu kyi in the capital, but the plight of the rohingya people will be a difficult topic. the burmese leader has suffered a spectacular fall from grace in international public opinion, after failing to defend the rights of the rohingya.

borisjohnson met some of the refugees on a tour of one of the camps in bangladesh, yesterday and said that international diplomacy needed to focus on a safe and dignified return home for them. it is about finding a political solution, finding an answer in myanmar, from burma, creating the conditions for a safe, dignified return for these people. that is what they want, and they do want to go back, but they don't feel safe. but he admitted that right now that seemed a distant prospect. later today, mrjohnson will be taken by the myanmar military on a tour of rakhine state, from where the refugees have fled, alleging arson, looting, rape and murder by soldiers and buddhist mobs. the israeli military has described the air strikes it carried out in syria yesterday as probably the biggest of their kind in the last 30 years. the attacks took place after one of their military aircraft was brought down. a spokesman said 12 sites were hit, including four iranian targets. energy companies should be allowed to see the personal data of some

customers at risk of being in fuel poverty, according to the government. the idea is part of a consultation looking at how best to protect people who could be struggling to pay their bills. they suggest that they could be moved onto special lower tariffs. the government thinks that as many as2 the government thinks that as many as 2 million people could benefit from the scheme. let's get more on the story we've been bringing you this morning that hundreds of fire deaths may be linked to the use of skin creams containing paraffin. a bbc investigation has found most of the creams — which are used to treat conditions like eczema and psoriasis — do not carry warnings, despite concerns over their safety. let's get more on this now from chris bell from west yorkshire fire and rescue service, and kirsten bicat. kirsten, tell us what happened to your dad. you have got a very personal experience of this. yes, well, the

22nd of september last year, i got the police called round at my house to tell me that i should get quickly to tell me that i should get quickly to the hospital where they have a burns unit, and my dad had just been airlifted there, after an accident and when i got there i found that he had more than 50% burns. he had third—degree burns and he didn't stand a chance, the doctors told me. they told me he wouldn't survive and to prepare ourselves for the worst. how do you believe that this happened? we think he went onto the balcony for a cigarette in his dressing and pyjamas, and somehow set himself on fire, and then couldn't get it out quickly enough to avoid the third degree burns that

killed him 14 hours later. it is not long since he passed away so thank you so much for coming in to talk to us. you so much for coming in to talk to us. it is not easy and obvious you have lost or dad. we are so sorry. he was using creams, was he? that contained paraffin? that is right. he was using mod and —— emollient creams. the creams really helps the ulcer on his leg. he was using them on stam in the shower, as well. let's talk about these claims, then. this investigation found that there are 38 creams on the market, and only seven, which contained paraffin at the moment have warnings on them. because, this is the problem... your dad wasn't even aware... he had no

idea. we are looking at a whole lot of borders. a lot of paraffin —based skin products, that can cover all sorts, to treat psoriasis and eczema and other skin conditions. they all create very different levels of paraffin. people should be informed about the risk. we think that there isa about the risk. we think that there is a opportunity for gps and medical practitioners to get this message out to people who they are carrying. —— who they are caring for. out to people who they are carrying. -- who they are caring for. this is not just about the creams on -- who they are caring for. this is notjust about the creams on the skin. it is about bedding... that is right. they are vitally important. they do get into bandages and clothing and fabrics. it gets embedded in clothing, and over time it becomes quite flammable. this

represents the manufacturers over the counter medicines, and it says that it and its member companies are engaged closely with a review... a review by the nhra —— m hra, to ensure that appropriate steps to... many, many manufacturers already have. kirsten, who do you think, at what point in the chain should the warnings be coming through? in the case of your dad? he would have been prescribed it from a gp, gone to a pharmacist to pick this up, and it would have been a treatment. where do you think the information is best to come from? well, definitely needs to come from? well, definitely needs to be face to face, i think. i think that pharmacists, or doctors, or

nurses, any of those... but, they do need to say that it is important to speak face—to—face and make sure that they have understood the message and just a warning on the package they flammable doesn't really cover it, because it has gone into the clothes, and even though you and have washed the clothes, it doesn't even come out. and it builds up doesn't even come out. and it builds up over week that you have been using it. and yet turned herself into a fire lighter. with that example, it is notjust if you are a smoker, is it? any heat source, or naked flame. cooking gas flame, and heaters? you've got to be aware that potential risk. and we don't necessarily know the real numbers involved, because many people would realise that that is the cause of the fire. i think there was 37

recordings since 2010. we are looking at raising awareness nationally about recording these insta nces nationally about recording these instances so that we can feedback into the nhra with the data so that they can make changes and get some bargaining with the packaging manufacturers. thank you so much i wish you all the best. you can hear more. . . you can hear more on that story on bbc 5live investigates this morning at 11, and also on inside out in yorkshire and lincolnshire tomorrow night at half past seven. here's nick with a look at this morning's weather. a much colderfield a much colder field the a much colderfield the most a much colder field the most of us are waking up to something on the ground. we saw some snow from north england and it has turned things very icy, and today, although it is a bright and sunny day compares with

yesterday, there have been some snow showers. it has turned quite icy, towards the north—west of the uk. in particular, you can see the speckled cloud. these are all be showers moving in today, but it is northern pa rt moving in today, but it is northern part of the uk, and you will see heavy ones, as well. hale or indeed some show, heavy ones, as well. hale or indeed some snow, hells of western scotland are coming thick and fast over the higher ground of northern ireland, but even to lower levels we are likely to seize on snow at of these showers as we head is further eastwards a cross showers as we head is further eastwards across the uk. —— as they had further eastwards. most of this snow in scotland, not too many reaching eastern parts. the green land stars mean that there are sunny spells between the showers, and some will also drift further east, but by the —— but very few here compared to western pa rt of the —— but very few here compared to western part of the uk. we will see snow accumulating to several inches over the higher ground in

particular. temperatures much lower compared to yesterday. a very brisk westerly wind. it will feel close to freezing for some. turning things i say again, and even when you're dry suddenly since part of the uk, see very few showers, as temperatures drop, there will be frost going into monday morning. still some snow showers tomorrow. in western scotland, gradually fading. a lot of... then we have got another weather system that we are watching from the atlantic, and this one coming on monday night or tuesday. not in form of showers. girls developing for western part, particular on the coast. we will season rain, sleet and snow spreading eastwards and enact into tuesday evening. the risk of some

significant snow, in parts of northern england. this is what we are expecting for the weather for the weekend. changeable, rain, snow and times and some destructive snow. ata and times and some destructive snow. at a given the part of the uk, especially on hells, but notjust on hills. there will be some dry sunny days, as well, but often windy, gale force winds at times, and that is all going on in the week ahead. that is the uk for you. we like it when the wedge changeable means that it is changing for the better, not when it means no and windy, but thank you, you tried. some sunshine, occasional. give us a little. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. astrophysicist carole mundell is here to tell us what's caught her eye. astrophysicist is quite a difficult word to come out on a sunday

morning. what is this about? these are actually numbers when you go online when you look at the phone numbers of who you want to get in touch with. there are providers who are putting on 09 at the beginning, and it is a premium line services. some of them are being criticised for not making it clear. it is a connection fee, that then connects you through to the people you are trying to get to. whenever i see these numbers, and you know it will cost me, i look for a different number on their website. are they obligated to offer that alternative? not all phones that you can call the premium rate, so, they have two provide a local number, but they don't publicise... that is what the regulator is complaining about, it

is not illegal, but they must provide the alternative number and also showed the cost of using that, so that you are fully warned. exactly. it is actually £3 60 for the first minutes, 50 beef every minute after that. so, you really need to be aware. you are looking at a ten minute phone call, £8 ten. and you don't know until you get your phone bill. yeah. the space launch means a “— phone bill. yeah. the space launch means a —— field in time ago, but this is an interesting take on that, isn't it? it is about what it tells us isn't it? it is about what it tells us about innovation. particular what the private sector is getting involved about... my two son is a very polarised on whether they think alan moscow has done a great thing. 0n alan moscow has done a great thing. on my son think it is hugely

innovative and very exciting. my other something sad it is appalling that the space debris are being put up that the space debris are being put up there. i think both of those views are the ballot, and it comes back to what are we trying to do in space, what is space for. what are protective environments. but like plastics in the oceans, we will have this sea of debris above the earth, and commercial satellites go up. so, i think that we need both clear regulation, but also we need to understand that nasa has done a lot of ground work, and the private sector then has a good role to play, and the question is how do we enable that innovation, but also keep our environment safe for future generations. there are a number of things that you have to do. when a satellite get hit by debris, it brea ks satellite get hit by debris, it breaks into smaller pieces which get

smaller and smaller. we have got to try and design the engineering that we measure all of these bits, how quickly it is moving, potentially to have avoided systems, and also do then clean—up that debris. but also, people who will be increasingly nudging things commercially, the regulatory framework is not quite there, yet. do you use thejunk regulatory framework is not quite there, yet. do you use the junk that you draw up there? while you were having dinner, what drink what you drinking? water. good answer. i had a glass of wine with mine, but not averse to a gym either. 0xford university... this is a great story. this is coming from the university of oxford having a botanic garden that has been there for many centuries. it is a really nice story on biodiversity. so, they are using some ancient... they are actually in

a collaboration with a local distillery to produce an artisan gym, and using those ancient grains will improve biodiversity. do you wa nt to will improve biodiversity. do you want to do this one? yes. fake twitter voters try to make the brit awards. this is a bit of a commentary coming out about social media. these are thought to be a comfort a re media. these are thought to be a comfort are not real people and they don't have profile photos, and a number of them came online and started to vote in the brit awards as an online phot casting. they said that it was a small number and bits they were investigating and will try and peel it out, but it is a bigger area of concern, particularly for things like national elections, and social media increasingly used to make decisions. very cute picture. had to end with a gorilla. this was

a gorilla that was it through a very rare caesarean section at bristol zoo rare caesarean section at bristol zoo two years rare caesarean section at bristol zoo two years ago. rare caesarean section at bristol zoo two years ago. it's mother rejected it, and it had a thorough get other. really happy story. thank you so much. the time now 20 minutes past eight. as we've been reporting this morning, alcoholism in parents can have a devastating impact on children. we've been talking about deaths and serious injuries, but there can be other effects a new parliamentary report has laid bare the effects that a parents level of drinking can have on their child's development. from affecting their confidence and education, to putting them more at risk of conditions such as eating disorders and adhd. joining us now from our birmingham newsroom is the mp liam byrne, chair of the all—party group for children of alcoholics — who also has his own experience of a parent with alcohol addiction. very good morning to you. i wonder if first of all you could explain your experience of this, because you have got very direct personal

experience? i lost my dad to what was a 20 year struggle with alcohol, and it was only after he died that i kind of looked back on my life growing up, and that is when i guess i first realised that, the first signs of sort of trouble in our family were when i was seven, so quite a small boy, and it was when somebody said to me, living without your whole life, that is huge, and thatis your whole life, that is huge, and that is when i only kind of realise, that is when i only kind of realise, that my whole life had basically been spent in this way, and then i ultimately lost the dad that i love so much. as a child of an alcoholic, of course, you feel responsible, you feel that sense of shame. you feel that you are constantly worried about whether you are doing enough to help. is your mum or dad on the floor somewhere? have beaten? are they 0k? floor somewhere? have beaten? are they ok? you are constantly wrestling with whether you are doing enough, and obviously as a child you

wa nt to enough, and obviously as a child you want to try and fix everything, so you sort of thing that you can fix it. you can't understand why you can't make it better. so, it's erm...i can't make it better. so, it's erm... iwas can't make it better. so, it's erm... i was lucky, it was only after my dad died, that's when i thought that as a country we have got to start having an adult conversation about this and making sure that we are putting in place and help children who are in this position, and that is why we are launching this report today. to mark the start of children of alcoholics week. acknowledging that there is a problem that those children need help for. if you are within the family unit. it is very hard for young children to say this is a problem. for all of those reasons that you expend, maybe shame, or fear of annoying your parents. allen—mac it is a terrible dirty

secret. it is something that you can't tell anybody outside the family. when you're a little child and you are worried about getting mum and dad into trouble. you might be worried about being taken away. so, what happens is that you suffer alone, and you suffer in silence. for many children, that is when the damage to mental health starts, so children of alcoholics are much more likely to have problems with mental health, they are much more likely to develop eating disorders. they are much more likely to take their own lives and they are much more likely to become alcoholics, themselves. that means that the problem of alcoholics is just cascading that means that the problem of alcoholics isjust cascading down the generations. what we are trying to do with our group in parliament is trying to break the silence about this big dirty secrets that we can break the cycle of this terrible disease cascading down generations. 53 councils responded to this freedom of information request and nearly all of them told us that they are having to cut budget and support

for people who have alcohol problems. in that environment, how difficult will it be to get help for people who need it?. really, really hard. ithink people who need it?. really, really hard. i think what we have got to do is make sure that there is a national plan of action, and someone in charge. we want to make sure that anyone who works with children, whether that is a school nurse or a teacher, could be a family doctor, could be a hospital worker, we want them to know what to look out for. we wa nt them to know what to look out for. we want them to know how to connect that child with the help that is available, and of course, we want more money going into treatment budget, so that when parents do reach out for help, that help is there. we want to be clear, we are not anti—drinking, we are just anti—drug too much when the innocent of boos are our country's children. —— innocent victims of booze.

hello, this is breakfast with ben thompson and naga munchetty. here's a summary of this morning's main news. charities doing overseas aid work will lose funding if they fail to ensure that vulnerable people are properly protected, the government has warned. international development secretary penny mordaunt has condemned as ‘horrific‘ the behaviour of some of 0xfam's workers in haiti, who were accused of using prostitutes in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake. the charity is also facing new allegations about some of its workers in chad. more than a third of child deaths and serious injuries caused by neglect in england and to parents with problems with alcohol, according to a parliamentary report. the study, commissioned by a group of mps, found that nearly all councils in england have at funding to alcohol support services. the department of health said it was working to see what supported could offer to families. borisjohnson

by the! that go over to catherine live in john chang. by the! that go over to catherine live injohn chang. we can talk about the events that did get under way today. great britain's andrew musgrave finished a valiant seventh as norway claimed a clean sweep of the podium in the men's 30—kilometres skiathlon. katherine downes was watching the finish of that one on day two of it was very close. there was a big pack... andrew musgrave did find himself in the mix at some point. by the time they crossed the line, 30 kilometres of cross—country skiing under their belts, he was in seventh place. as of the medals for andrew musgrave in this event, he does have his best events, that this team, mature cross—country sprint, to come later on in these games. he could be in with a medal. no medal this time but that seventh position is still the best result a gb athlete has ever had in cross—country skiing at the winter olympics. absolutely brilliant from him. you come to me as the wind is picking up. the cloud is coming down. temperatures dropping to about —20 two. as you

we re dropping to about —20 two. as you were saying, it has caused all kinds of chaos on the mountain. we have had to happen men's downhill, a blue ribbon events, the equivalents in the summer games of the men's 100 metres, the summer games of the men's100 metres, but has housed the postponed. the women's slope style qualifiers have been cancelled completely. any colour and other competitors going straight through to the finals. i have some of these looks file squad next to me. massive hoods up to keep the wind out. we had a discussion whether they should ta ke had a discussion whether they should take them down. i don't want them catching a chill because they have more competition to come. lovely of you tojoin us here in the more competition to come. lovely of you to join us here in the freezing cold. let's talk about your event first because you were taking part in the slope style individual event. didn't quite go to plan. it has been a really difficult week for the whole team. obviously katie getting injured and breaking her heel... she

is your cousin? yes will stop it was devastating for us all. we pulled together as did the best we could. i was happy to land a run in the conditions. it was difficult yesterday and the wind was blowing all over the place. the speed was changing constantly between runs. it was definitely one of the hardest conditions i have competed in. just because of the speed issues. but happy to put one down for my friends and family back home. what do you make of the big prospects for team gb? i think we have a decent chance. lee morgan as well is around. he is probably the specialist. —— billie morgan. if we land a run, we could have a good chance. it'sjust about what happens on the day, and that's

where the conditions are so important and why we have been talking so much about the wind, snow, visibility. tell us why the event snow, visibility. tell us why the eve nt ha d snow, visibility. tell us why the event had to be cancelled, the women's qualifiers. what was it like? it's dangerous when it... if the girls are finding it hard to clear their jobs. the girls are finding it hard to clear theirjobs. when you see girls hitting their knuckles and falling over and sometimes going to big, it is too risky to compete. luckily, in the morning, with the finals for the guys, it wasn't as bad. it picked up around lunchtime. that's just guys, it wasn't as bad. it picked up around lunchtime. that'sjust the way it goes sometimes. you can't control the weather. amy hasn't had to have a qualifying run, she go straight to the final. is it more pressure because it is all one those two ru ns ? pressure because it is all one those two runs? would she have preferred to warm up? i think it is less pressure. if you can go straight through to the finals and you just have to runs, it won't competition for the medals. you just got to go

for the medals. you just got to go for it. that is the advice. yes, you are in the finals. just do your best tricks, did the best you can. hopefully come back with a medal. best of luck to both of you. amy goesin best of luck to both of you. amy goes in the final tomorrow. but the weather forecast for tomorrow is worse than today. i wince. that's the bad final goes ahead. thanks very much. good to know there may be less pressure friendly filler. don't be afraid to stand out in the crowd at twickenham. most players arrived in tracksuits, headphones to drown out the distractions. rhys was playing for the first time.

showers waiting to come in. already here in western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england. calling us ireland, north—west england. calling us know in the hills. several centimetres into western scotland, drifting in the wind. any southern and eastern parts of the uk, it ta kes a and eastern parts of the uk, it takes a farewell to see any showers. some places will mist them all together. —— takes a while. these showers are dotted about but there is green man showing up in between. even though they are frequent and heavy, there will still be driver, funny moments in between. eventually the showers drifting towards easterly winds. maybe falling asleep, hail or wet snow. easterly winds. maybe falling asleep, hail orwet snow. eastern parts more inclined to avoid them. we are all colder comparator yesterday. positive reading all the land over the hills of scotland. in the wind, feeling colder. a north—westerly winds. showers running into western scotland, northern ireland, north—west england, north wales, drifting into the midlands overnight. further

acute relations in places. southern and eastern parts staying mainly dry, clear and frosty, and eastern parts staying mainly dry, clearand frosty, going into monday morning. with west of the uk, this is where we are likely to see some icy and difficult conditions first thing on monday. on monday a lot of fine, clear weather. until this weather system comes in from the atlantic on monday night and it's tuesday morning, that's going to bring some rain, sleet and snow. east across the uk as we start off on tuesday morning. do you think your left arm is more pronounced in terms of muscle and your right arm? from 20 years of weather presenting? indeed! do you think i'm like a tennis player? you should measure that. that should be your sunday task, to measure the musselburgh. i bet there is a difference. enjoy the

rest of your weekend! have some thoughts for those competing injohn chang. winter olympics are we eventually fairer. but this year's games in pyeongchang are expected to be the coldest in more than 20 years. with temperatures plunging to around minus 20 degrees celsius it's already affecting some events. so how have team gb prepared for the cold? radzi has more. this pyeongchang is situated in the mountains at 700 metres above sea level which the locals claim is perfect for healthy living. however, alongside that is the weather. the very, very cold weather. # you are as cold as ice the pyeongchang area is the coldest place in korea.

because it is a mountainous area, the average temperature in february is about —11 celsius. it really is cold. in fact, take a look at this. now, i know it is supposed to be cold, it is the winter olympics, but the coldest on record was in 94 in lillehammer. that year, norwegian thermometers reached as low as —11 degrees. so if temperatures stay this low, could that affect the 2018 winter olympics? we continue to ask the operators at which temperature is impossible to operate the game, they say it is dependent on the situation. which is largely determined by the amount of time the athlete spent outside in as freezing climates because foreign alpine race it is less than two minutes on piste but a cross—country skier, more like two hours. whatever the amount of time,

a crucial element is the kids the olympians wear to cope with the frosty conditions. so with around 60 team gb athlete travelling here to pyeongchang, it is a lot of sports and a lot of kit. four years ago we were walking around in shorts and flip—flops in sochi. so it is quite a shift, it is great to be a part of a winter games in which it is actually cold. everybody got 110 items of kit, everyone gets their own competition where and when the race village where so we have a goosedown puffer jacket, woolly hats, scarf, gloves, hand warmers to keep everyone toasty. you actually think the cold may be helpful? help. we are working through the cross country, the preparations they have done and the work in the background getting their skis right is ideal for they are having a great bit of time out on the track

but for the guys on the centre last night, they were feeling good as well so we are in a great shape, the cold weather is really looking to benefit team gb. for the first time ever i will hope it stays cold? absolutely! they might be the queen's favourite breed, but corgis fell out of fashion for a while. now they've been removed from an "at risk" list — thanks in part to the popularity of the tv programme "the crown". let's get more on this from bill lambert, who's from the kennel club, along with marie davies from the welsh corgi league, and her lovely corgi, benji. he is so well behaved. how old is he? years nine. you have had corgis since you were a little girl.” he? years nine. you have had corgis since you were a little girl. i have my first one when i was ten. what's the attraction? they are easily managed because of their size but they are very lively, very loyal to

they are very lively, very loyal to the family. and they're great fun. they love to do whatever you want to be doing. why do you think they ended up on this at risk list? the trends of breeds are interesting to watch. the cruelty is immensely popular in the 50s and 60s. we think pa rt popular in the 50s and 60s. we think part of that was because the queen had them. —— the corgi was immensely popular. it became very popular because they were protected and —— projected in the media. ithink people have forgotten about them river tyne. we have been trying to highlight some of these breeds that are really forgotten about. do you think they were thought of as posh dogs? that wealthy people had?” think they have become associated. they're not necessarily a young person's dog. that's a shame because they are quite active and make good family pets. how much exercise as he

need? he family pets. how much exercise as he need ? he looks family pets. how much exercise as he need? he looks in great condition. we walk our dogs every day. about a mile and a half, something like that. sometimes we will go to the beach with them and they have a good old scamper down there. do you see many corgis around, when you are walking the dogs? no. although i live in wales where you think you would see a lot. i don't. you say they're a good family pets. in the crown, you see pictures of the queen surrounded by her corgis. they make good family pets? very, very good. they love children. when i was a child and have one, he was such a good friend to me. he came everywhere with me. i used to ta ke came everywhere with me. i used to take him over a littlejumps and all sorts of things. in terms of the

trends now, what are people going for? we have that trend of handbag dogs. the little, tiny ones. we are really concerned about the trends in dogs. what it is that people aren't making the right choices. we live in a society where everything is instant gratification. we always urge people to do their research and find out about the breeds. we have crafted a couple of weeks, from the eighth to the 11th of march. that's a great opportunity to come and speak to experts. it's notjust about the weather dog looks, about their character, what they require, and how they fit into your life style. and how they fit into your lifestyle. —— and how they fit into your lifestyle. — — not just and how they fit into your lifestyle. —— notjust about how the dog looks. a number of breeds are getting forgotten about. we have a forgotten breeds campaign to highlight some of the breeds that haven't fallen —— have fallen into a lack of popularity. the corgis are a great story. they have now started

to actually come back. but there are breeds like bloodhounds which are in danger of disappearing. you say you walk benji 1.5 miles a day, but there are ways need to be a word of caution to potential dog owners. you a lwa ys caution to potential dog owners. you always hear that phrase, a dog is not just christmas. they always hear that phrase, a dog is notjust christmas. they do need attention. yes, they need to be groomed a couple of times a week at least. they mustn't be overfed. corgis are so greedy. really? yes! you just have to be firm. and then they lived longer. have an overweight dogs, it's not going to live the same amount of time. that is the other thing, you have to think about how they fit into your lifestyle. is 220 different pedigree breeds. they all have different requirements. there is a brief

everybody. it's important people do the research. the eight most popular breeds account for more than half of registrations. there is the right dog for everybody, it's a matter of finding the right one. committed them, they commit to you. absolutely. it's been a delight to see you. that's it from us today. dan and lou will be back tomorrow. until then have a lovely weekend. goodbye. this is bbc news. i'm ben brown. the headlines at 9.00am. a warning that uk charities could lose government funding if they don't co—operate fully with the authorities over safeguarding issues. the foreign secretary, borisjohnson, meets the leader of myanmar, aung san suu kyi, for talks which will include the issue
