5:40 am
and it can be from the male or female side. it doesn't have to come through the mail site or the female side, it is not sex linked. they will be looking at hairlines and thinking, this has moved. and yes but from 16 to your mid— 20s, your hairline does move. it changes. if there is change over and above what it should. if you are becoming thin there, it is usually genetic. ian says there are two medications that will help. the nhs says women should not use neither of the drugs available. it allows the hair in some cases to respond quite significantly. i have heard that with medications like this, you have got to keep using the medication if you want to keep seeing hair growth.
5:41 am
can you use itjust once? you do have to keep taking it day after day. it is a treadmill medication. there is no such thing as a 1—shot thing that will get rid of hair loss. it can also be caused by stress, weight loss, cancer treatment or an unhealthy diet. in some cases, your immune system can attack your hair follicles. that is what is known as alopecia. i first noticed my hair loss when i was about 19. do you want to see what it looks like? this is a week. i hide behind it all the time. as you can see, i have got raids and lots of hair but there is clearly a lot missing. this is classed as a diffuse thinning around here. it does look as though the follicles have atrophied which means some follicles have actually died off. if you have carefully hair over a period of time and it hasn't returned, the likelihood is... yeah,
5:42 am
most people hate hearing that will stop i didn't accept my hair wasn't going to grow back so i did all sorts of weird things. apparently if you bend all the way down with a minute and castor oil, it will a p pa re ntly minute and castor oil, it will apparently make your hair grow quicker, it did not work. there is egyptian text from 2000 bc that are the remedies and prayers for hair loss. if there was something natural out there, we would know about it. thank you, ian, i have learned so much. no problem. here that it is at permanent stage, not going to lie, it is super disappointing. even though, idid it is super disappointing. even though, i did know somewhere in the back of my mind it was not going to grow back. i really hoped i would be told that if you just use this one thing, it will grow back. now that i
5:43 am
know, i guess i have got closure and now i will just know, i guess i have got closure and now i willjust embrace it and accept it. sounding very upbeat at the end of her journey. next, and journey sounding very upbeat at the end of herjourney. next, and journey of my own. beacon is it seems to be the latest buzzword and the lifestyle is on the rise. —— veganism. so much so that as a self—proclaimed meat lover, i decided to give it a go. no meat, no fish, no dairy, for a month. how hard can it be? when it
5:44 am
comes to my food, it has only ever been one role. the more meat, the better. but, as much as kebabs or spicy wings free life scares me, i am going meat three fourjanuary for sub and who knows, maybe forever. —— meat free. ——1 rule. irra no chance. it isa meat free. ——1 rule. irra no chance. it is a myth. it is going to be hard. i love meat but i also love a challenge. i have also heard there are health benefits to a died. it seems that they can lifestyle is growing at a rapid rate. —— figure d. thousands of people are taking place in veganuary. it also has a a lot of celebrity backing. miley cyrus and ariana grande has also committed to the diet.”
5:45 am
cyrus and ariana grande has also committed to the diet. i am going big end. i might come back and i might not. —— vegan. 0ver big end. i might come back and i might not. —— vegan. over the next month, i will meet those leading the league in charge. 40 to 5096 of people who come here are not of egan, orare not people who come here are not of egan, or are not yet of egan. we like to call them pregans.” egan, or are not yet of egan. we like to call them pregans. i think it is definitely the best decision i have made in my life. i ordered vegetable soup the other day. and those leading the defence of meat. veganism is not the future. all i wa nt to veganism is not the future. all i want to do is have a lamb chop. to find out if being a veganism fad. after walking around the supermarket for what feels like an eternity, reading the small print on all the ingredients, i think i have what it
5:46 am
ta kes to ingredients, i think i have what it takes to make soup. i've never made soupin takes to make soup. i've never made soup in my life. i've never contemplated making soup in my life. as to how it tastes... not too bad. not too bad at all. sarahjane is a friend and former bbc presenter. her of egan journey started when she tried it as a challenge on her show. two and a half years later she is still going strong. it has been so easy. people used to say it was a rabbit food. you know? rabbit food. but now it is like, you can get the junk food. 0bviously but now it is like, you can get the junk food. obviously you don't want to eatjunk junk food. obviously you don't want to eat junk food junk food. obviously you don't want to eatjunk food every day whether it is meat or not. do something to do your future self will thank you for. a few days in, thumbs up to of egan menu. if you had told me i would be making it about that wouldn't have meat, chilli sauce or mayonnaise in it, i would have laughed at you. today's destination,
5:47 am
a beacon cafe in birmingham. the founding principle for being a vegan is that an animal should be killed, harmed exploited for human benefit. the animal welfare argument makes a lot of logical sense because most of us are against animal cruelty, we don't want to see animals being hurt. vegans and vegetarians are becoming more widely accepted, it is more mainstream. even mcdonald's has a vegan erg. some people say veganism is only accessible to people in big cities but actually this couldn't be further from the truth. we have seen a growth in vegan places all over the uk. one man always happy to sing the praises of the lifestyle, fat day vegan. this is a little shopping centre in coventry. it is a testament to how strong veganism is in this part of the country. there is a vegan cafe, a vegan grocery, and we are inside a vegan rewrite now. it is not a
5:48 am
trend, it is not a fad. it is here to stay. how we know that is that we have seen the numbers of vegans growing year—on—year. now you walk down the high street and businesses are shouting, hey, vegan customers, coming here. we have reached a tipping point, the point of no return. wherever you go now there is more choice than ever, because people are slowly sort of waking up. all the other companies, they don't wa nt all the other companies, they don't want to lose out. so everybody is really adapting. where the yugo now, you will always find something that will be suitable for vegans.” you will always find something that will be suitable for vegans. i had trouble at first at school, people telling me i was being really stupid and it was wrong, and i wasn't actually helping anything and it wasn't making a difference. but i just learned to ignore it, because it is what i want to do. i think that it it is what i want to do. i think thatitis it is what i want to do. i think that it is definitely the best decision i've ever made in my life. i don't see myself as someone who is
5:49 am
easy to convince, but the more people i talk to, the more empowered i feel, the people i talk to, the more empowered ifeel, the more i feel like i'm making a choice to me. my parents fed me meet when they would —— when i was born because that was their choice. for me to decide to stop eating meat, iam choice. for me to decide to stop eating meat, i am doing something, nobis eating meat, i am doing something, no b is forcing me to live our way. 0nce no b is forcing me to live our way. once people have got that reason in their hearts and their minds, forgoing deegan, it is very difficult and almost impossible to come back from that. the weather, mainly dry today apart from patchy rain in the east. it is 7:33am. thank you. i just wanted to ask you, actually, about your vegan diet. thank you. i just wanted to ask you, actually, about your vegan dietm is hard, i won't lie. today is january 15. i think it is the day i became bored with not eating meat. there is no shame with admitting that when it comes to my life it is all about convenience. there are days, don't feel like cooking, i
5:50 am
just wanted about. so that is what i'm going to have, vegan style. that's amazing. i'm almost going to taste it again, i don't even believe it is and meat. —— it isn't meat. this is my type of vegan food. veganism is obviously on the rise, and one of our slogans is meat free more often. lots of people, without trying veganism, i just more often. lots of people, without trying veganism, ijust cutting back on meat. it is in high demand. we get messages all the time on social media asking us, are you opening in manchester or birmingham? i think it is the future. what's more people are going meat free. i don't think it is going to be too long before they are on every street corner. normally i would eat meat kebabs but this is better. this actually taste is more like me to the normal needs, know what i mean? this is by far one of the nicest things i have eaten. the problem is, there are two parts
5:51 am
to this problem, actually. you can't eat this every day. and my local ke ba bs eat this every day. and my local kebabs shop doesn't do food like this. so until there is a leading ke ba bs this. so until there is a leading kebabs shop at the end of my road, i'm going to be honest, i would struggle to be deegan. any kebabs to often isn't healthy. but is a deegan dietany often isn't healthy. but is a deegan diet any healthier than one which contains meat? if you are in a strict vegan diet it is very difficult to get multivitamins. the key ones would be b12, which are really only get from animal sources. the vegan society themselves recommend a b12 supplement for all vegans. 0mega—3 recommend a b12 supplement for all vegans. omega—3 fatty acids is another one difficult to get. the best source of that is from fish. well, there is no doubt that veganism is on the boom, but it continues to have plenty of doubters. i am about to meet one woman who doesn't think it is the a nswer woman who doesn't think it is the answer and reckons the future might actually be small—scale ethical farming. fiona's farm in suffolk is
5:52 am
a calf at foot dairy. she describes it as small—scale and ethical. unlike high—volume industrial farming, cows here like bella ryeg rass farming, cows here like bella ryegrass fed. they are only milked once a day and i never separated from their cards. i don't think a plant —based diet, en masse, is the a nswer plant —based diet, en masse, is the answer at all. we have got to think of the planet. itjust wouldn't sustain most people, they cannot live their whole lifetimes on a deegan diet. i understand where the games are coming from. —— where vegans games are coming from. —— where vegans are games are coming from. —— where vegans are coming. i have a conscience when it comes to food. i think the way we are doing it is the best for the future and i think all the people that work here learn sort of invaluable skills for the future, because this is the future. whether it isa because this is the future. whether it is a lamb chop or a sausage, it isa it is a lamb chop or a sausage, it is a long journey from a farm to a dinner plate. but how will see and where animal's light ends affect me? take the knife out of there, and cut
5:53 am
the blood vessel, the main blood vessel in the animal's neck here. the animal would bleed out here, the hardwood stop and the animal would dive. no, idon't hardwood stop and the animal would dive. no, i don't think it is wrong to eat animals. if we want to eat meat and continue eating meat, these animals need to be killed. these animals need to be killed. these animals would not have been born in the first place if we won't eating meat. physiologically we are designed as omnivores to eat meat. i think if people want to make a life choice not to eat meat, fine, but i think we have to acknowledge that if you are going to eat meat, and animal has to die, and we have to do that in the most humane way possible. this is what vegan diet does. two vegans and meet either.” am not saying it is the vegan diet... at this stage i am feeling
5:54 am
leaner, more energetic, and my skin has never been this clear. well, today we are combining two things i love. football and food. this is forest green rovers, the first—ever vegan football team. em is the head chef at the club. yes, he has been vegan several months now. he has been great. i did get called a dictator. the argument we came back with was, look, we aren't dictating what you eat. we are just setting the menu. we are responsible for the food we put on here and we are taking that responsibility and we are not involving meat and dairy because those are important thing is to avoid. and if you want to bring your own food to the football, you can. we aren't going to stop you. your own food to the football, you can. we aren't going to stop youm is against the traditional look of most clubs, we get meat and burgers and pies and hotdogs and everything else. the overarching thing is that the food is pretty good. it tastes
5:55 am
really good. as a the food tastes good you can't complain. at half—time the away fans might be applauding the football, but what about the food ? applauding the football, but what about the food? it is good. i wouldn't call it gourmet. better than the pies at kidderminster. so, to give veganism a try? yeah, at this level, we are not multimillionaires, you know? there are different pools for different clu bs are different pools for different clubs and one of the pools here was the different way of doing things, the different way of doing things, the vegan way, the way they treat the vegan way, the way they treat the pitch. it is all about trying to help the environment and trying to make the world a better place. think it is great to be a part of that. 5- to the final whistle and the time is up to the final whistle and the time is up on my as to the final whistle and the time is up on myasa to the final whistle and the time is up on my as a vegan. to the final whistle and the time is up on my as a vegan. it is february one. i've woken up with a fat smile one. i've woken up with a fat smile on my face because i made it a month without eating meat. the cable is booked. all that is left to be decided is the final meal. an alternate test might be to order a neat option and a vegetarian option and have them in front of me and then i will choose. i think i am
5:56 am
ready to decide which one you can ta ke ready to decide which one you can take away. no way you would have said to me that i would be at my turkish restaurant and you would give me my signature special for one. and a couple of deep—fried cou rg ettes. one. and a couple of deep—fried courgettes. but people change. i don't know what it is about me that makes people not believe me, but honestly, for the entire month, no meat, no dairy, no milk, although, i did slip up once because i ordered mayonnaise, not thinking. i was halfway through the chips and i thought, i could throw them away or i could finish them. so i did finish them. that aside, i promise you, hand on heart, completely for that whole entire month of january. hello there. i can't promise that the second half of the weekend will be as sunny as warm as the first.
5:57 am
we saw some beautiful scenes on saturday. that's how the day ended in north yorkshire. a bit of low cloud shrouding auckley but some blue skies overhead as well. a bit of the fly in the ointment during sunday. this area of low pressure pushing in from the west and it will strengthen the winds, especially from the west. it will bring outbreaks of rain. generally speaking, it will be cloudier and breezier on sunday and we will see outbreaks of rain but not all the time. it is not a complete write—off, by any means. the rain moving in to the south—west of england, wales and northern ireland, drifting across the midlands, into northern england and southern scotland as the day wears on. the rain quite on and off, quite sporadic. it won't be raining all the time. behind the main area of rain, we get into a mixture of sunshine and showers. north—east scotland will stick out in the sunshine all day long and it may well be where we see the highest of the temperatures. through sunday night, still showers and areas of cloud drifting northwards with clear spells developing. temperatures not dropping too far. monday, not a bad looking day for many. particular in central and eastern areas, good spells of sunshine. always the potential for areas
5:58 am
of cloud and perhaps some rain for parts of western scotland and northern ireland, some heavier rain later in the day. another windy day to come here as well. temperatures are not doing too badly, not as high as they were on saturday that but still 13, 14 or 15 degrees. temperatures will climb further as the week wears on. low pressure in the atlantic, high—pressure building down to the south—east, squeezing this south—westerley airflow across the british isles. we will see some outbreaks of rain across northern ireland and scotland. perhaps north—west england and north wales as well on tuesday. best of the sunshine down towards the south—east, will lift the temperatures up to 19, 20 degrees. that is a mere taste of what is to come because as we go into wednesday and thursday, we start to bring some really warm air in from the near continent and parts of the south—east could get up as high as 25 degrees. many other places further north and west, not too far behind.
5:59 am
there is some more spring warmth on the way. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and babita sharma. "locked and loaded" — america tells syria it's ready to strike again. the warning comes just hours after the us, uk and france destroy three sites thought to be connected to last week's suspected chemical attack. meanwhile, the debate continues around the uk's decision tojoin the strikes. some mps say they're angry about parliament not being consulted. good morning, it's sunday the 15th of april. also this morning: a pedestrian fights for their life after a car ploughed into six people in essex. opponents of brexit launch a campaign calling for a ‘people's referendum' on the final deal.
