police. in a period of the year. yes, ina police. in a period of the year. yes, in a period of the year. which is shocking. five people. five people. what this opens up is, really it shines light on the fact that there is a massive issue as we know with mental health and how it is looked at in this country, as well as social care. the nhs, according to this study, are basically handing it over to the police. in the study, it says that they are clocking off because it is too dangerous for them to deal with the patients. so really, the biggest thing that needs to be done now is look at how do we deal across the board with mental health issues and social care within the country.” mean this is a real problem in the sense that during this period of austerity here in the uk, there has been severe cutbacks to many public sector departments, healthcare of

course, provision of social services, and many of the social services, and many of the social services provisions for those who have mental health problems, that was an area that was cut back quite significantly. that was cut back, and we already know the police are extremely stretched. a few weeks ago we had the story of the police federation asking for the general public to step in if they are under attack and that they would not be able to necessarily arrest people. we have seen the rise in knife crime and various other gang crime, and so we know that the public purse is extremely stretched, but u nfortu nately, extremely stretched, but unfortunately, at some point, something has got to give. one of the interesting elements of the story is this is an independent watchdog report, the first time it has been done across 43 forces in the uk and also, the british transport police. so it is the first time this much evidence has been gathered to show what the police are dealing with on a day—to—day basis and when you think about, as you say, how stretched resources for the police, it is really quite staggering and the bbc online story, it has got different highlights, a

different individual stories, and it talks about one man who says i started carrying a knife around in public because voices were telling me to harm people and myself. i desperately want to get sectioned, and he is taking action. it is almost like he wants to get sectioned, he wants help, he once provision but he is not being given it. no, i think provision but he is not being given it. no, ithink we provision but he is not being given it. no, i think we are in... provision but he is not being given it. no, ithink we are in... people in between a rock and hard place, there is no funding, the government are not looking at this because obviously, there are other important issues going on to do with brexit. there is the promise obviously of funds coming back into the nhs that we do not know whether that is true oi’ we do not know whether that is true or not, it was on the side of a bus at the end of the day, and the reality is it's sadly, it could end up reality is it's sadly, it could end up that some tragedy needs to happen before anybody actually looks at this. the study is great that it

happened at this point because it is actually so wide, so the statistics you could argue are clean and... and it is independent. and it is independent, absolutely, which means that before tragedy happens, some impact on their. let's hope so. so police are facing calls on mental health issues every two minutes, which is staggering really. let's ta ke which is staggering really. let's take a look at this story then, which is interesting. a un report showing that the uk has the weakest wage growth of wealthy nations, and you could argue in some ways that these two stories are linked in the sense that, in many parts of society in the uk have really felt they have had difficult times in terms of their earnings, their standard of living, et cetera. mental health issues could perhaps progress from that, some of the pressures on individuals, and families in the uk, and this un data sort of confirms what many watching this programme and others might say, i know this, i am struggling to get by. so this,

obviously this, we are ten years on from the credit crunch. the financial crisis. the financial crisis and the big tank bailouts, so ten yea rs crisis and the big tank bailouts, so ten years ago, we all felt the recession hit. and actually, if you look deeply into the data, we have started to see wage growth improve until brexit and the referendum happened. —— bank. but like you said, percentages do not mean anything until you feel it in your own purse and... you are seeing un inspectors coming in to check out, we have had the poverty inspectors in to look at poverty in the uk, which we have never had before, and we have got the rise of the use of food banks. absolutely. it is in one of the headlines today actually, about the numbers of people, over 350,000 children will receive food from the food bank this christmas, which isjust... from the food bank this christmas, which is just... that from the food bank this christmas, which isjust... that should not be happening in modern britain today is. it has got written banks bottom

ofa group is. it has got written banks bottom of a group of nations mantras poverty. we have sort of remained at that level and yet, our unemployment levels are at really low levels but the fact is we are just really not earning what some would argue we should be earning, our wage growth is just not there. should be earning, our wage growth isjust not there. no, one of the nations were compared with his china and obviously their growth rate in wages, because they started on a lower base, is a lot higher. is that does skew the figures. it does definitely skewered, so we have seen a slight increase, but it is only around i%, which is not right. —— that does. we also have a story in the independent about university degrees leaving some men worse off than those without degrees. the study looking at those who come out of university, men and women, and to what extent they realise better career prospects or more wealth as a

consequence. yes, in fact, i love the difference in the way the telegraph have approached this to the way the bbc have. and your website, it looks at how women have been impacted over men. but it is clear that, from what the study has found, that people aged 29 he went to university, and it compares genders compared to what they earn if they did not go to university, so men, i think, if they did not go to university, so men, ithink, and if they did not go to university, so men, i think, and about 2% more they went to university than if they didn't, and women the gap is even higher, it is 28% more, which is shocking. the headline in the telegraph about the headline with men's degrees, that is actually arts degrees, which tends to be different thanif degrees, which tends to be different than if you get a science degree, which will be due to the higher paying careers. stem, science

technology, engineering... the economy and the wayjobs are going, the industries of tomorrow are changing, so you do not know what degrees you study today in order to earn a lot of money next time. and also, what this looks that is actually not everyone goes to university just because of actually not everyone goes to universityjust because of the higher salary. it is networking, other skills, so it is an interesting piece. that lots of questions. yes. is now move on to quartz. i'm going to skip over the other story because we're running of time. —— let's now move on to. the story about chinagene—edited babies. this one actually shocked me when i saw it last night. it brings up a lot of debate because obviously,

biotechnology is progressing at such a rate and the debate about the ethics and rurality around what we are achieving... we're trying to catch with it, that is always... and at what point do you stop playing god. you could argue that anyone who walks into hospital and goes to the doctors or even takes paracetamol is having some form of intervention and therefore, how is this different? however, playing without genetic code and we have not debated it means that we are in fact, putting humankind at risk. we need to look at that before we start playing around with this. thank you. thank you so much for being with us on the briefing, and thank you too for your company. whenever you up to today, i hope you have a good day ahead. bye— bye. hope you have a good day ahead. bye—bye. —— whatever you up to. hello there. there's a change to come to the weather, but i'm not sure you're going to like it,

because the cold air is now being replaced by something a little bit milder, but unfortunately, pretty stormy over the next couple of days, with some wet and windy weather to come. let's take a look at the main culprits. it's these areas of low pressure pushing in from the atlantic, and they will move across the uk a little bit later on today, and they will bring some extremely wet weather at times, but also some mild weather. so we lose that easterly flow that's been coming in off the north sea. the winds swing round to a south—westerly, coming in with that area of low pressure, drags in the milder air. but the winds will be gusting to gales or severe gales over the next couple of days. we start off, though, with a little bit of patchy mist and fog around. but as the breeze picks up, that'll help lift that. a chilly—ish start, as you can see, with temperatures into low single figures first thing. but it won't be long before that cloud and rain starts to move into the south—west. so it's going to be a wet start across cornwall and south wales, and into northern ireland as well. slow improvement here for you as we go into the afternoon. let's take a look at the finer detail for this afternoon and see what's in prospect. there's the brighter weather starting to push into cornwall through the afternoon.

double figures, but some heavy rain into the south—west, across wales, the midlands, and stretching up into the north of england. the rain shouldn't arrive into the east of england, so here it should stay dry and relatively bright. but we'll see most of the rain starting to ease out of northern ireland as we go through the afternoon. it stays relatively dry, windy with it across much of scotland. by the end of the day, you can see that rain starting to show its hand across the south—west. so, that moves through overnight. the next area of low pressure moves through. and thenjust look at the isobars squeezed together. that's where the strongest of the winds are going to be across the southern flank of that area of low pressure. so we could see gusts of winds in excess of 60mph in exposed coasts, maybe higher, and it will bring some heavy rain particularly through northern ireland, south—west scotland and north—west england. although the rain is lighter in nature further south, it's still going to be pretty windy with it as well. in terms of the feel of things, i did promise you something a little bit milder. double digits, in fact, mid—teens for many. but when you factor in the wind and the rain, it's probably not going to feel very great out there. and it's not long before we see

another area of low pressure moving in, bringing some heavy rain. this time, the emphasis is across central and southern parts of england on thursday. so, wet and windy again to the south on thursday. something drier, brighter and a little less windy by the end of the week. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and naga munchetty. 0ur headlines today: theresa may hits the road to sell her brexit deal and hits back at president trump over his comments on trade. free and on his way home. the british academic convicted of spying in the united arab emirates. it is the season for temporary workers. the number of applications for seasonal jobs workers. the number of applications for seasonaljobs is workers. the number of applications for seasonal jobs is not workers. the number of applications for seasonaljobs is not 10% this year. iam for seasonaljobs is not 10% this year. i am in a for seasonaljobs is not 10% this year. iam in a mince pie for seasonaljobs is not 10% this year. i am in a mince pie factory to find out how important christmas is to the business. touchdown confirmed! a cheer, a handshake and sheer relief as nasa scientists celebrate a perfect landing on mars.
