8:01 am
come today. even windier tonight gci’oss come today. even windier tonight across parts of southern england. tomorrow it turns colder. all the details right here on breakfast. it's saturday 8 december. our top story... in the last few hours, police in new zealand have said the disappearance of 22—year—old british backpacker, grace millane, is being treated as a suspected murder. a 26—year—old man is being questioned. auckland police say they have not located grace millane‘s body. more from our correspondent hywel griffith. fun—loving and family orientated, grace millane‘s parents say her disappearance one week ago was entirely out of character and extremely hard for them to take. today, they were given the worst possible news about their daughter. the evidence we have gathered to this point in the inquiry has established that this is a homicide. grace's family have been advised of this development, and they are devastated. a man is still being
8:02 am
spoken to at this point. grace arrived in new zealand last month, and had been staying at a backpackers‘ hostel in auckland. she was last spotted on saturday night entering a hotel in the city with a male companion who the police say had been with her during the evening. detectives have released pictures of jewellery they believe grace had with her, a necklace and a distinctive pink watch are both missing from her possessions and could help them find her body. grace's father arrived in new zealand yesterday. when he spoke to the media, he was hopeful she could be found alive. while this has now become a murder investigation, officers have told the family they'll do everything possible to return her to them. hywel griffith, bbc news. earlier we spoke to tv nz reporter gill higgins, who is in auckland and explained how people there have reacted to the news. people are very emotional about the story.
8:03 am
it's been really closely followed. this is a major news story here, as it would be in many places around the world. but new zealand is a small country, they really welcome visitors and they're absolutely horrified something like this has happened. a huge heartfelt response to david millane when he came on and spoke about his daughter and there was hope then, people hoped she would be found alive. it's a shock today on this lovely sunny saturday in new zealand that the news has come out that it's being treated as a homicide. at least six people, most of them teenagers, have been crushed to death in a stampede at a nightclub in northern italy, media are reporting. about 1000 people were at the lanterna azzurra club, near the eastern coastal city of ancona. panic broke out — reportedly after pepper spray was used. jon donnison has more. outside the lanterna azzurra club in the small town of corinaldo, emergency services did
8:04 am
what they could to help those who managed to get out alive. bodies laid out in the road. many had crush injuries having been caught up in the stampede. it happened around 1am local time, when it's thought up to 1,000 people were inside the venue. they'd been attending a concert by one of italy's best—known rappers, sfera ebbasta. some reports say panic broke out after pepper spray was fired inside the club. jon donnison, bbc news. the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, has become the first government minister to openly back an alternative brexit strategy — if theresa may's deal is rejected by the commons next week. speaking to the times, ms rudd said the so—called norway plus option seemed a plausible plan b. we're joined now by our political correspondent matt cole. he is in london for us. the
8:05 am
significance of this is that no matter what the question to theresa may throughout this process, she has a lwa ys may throughout this process, she has always said all i am talking about is the vote, that is where my attention lies and she has refused to address in any sense any other options. amber rudd significant figure is saying something entirely different. yes, the work and pensions secretary returned to the cabinet and it should be said one of her chief lieutenants. bike on the 2017 general election she stood in for the prime minister when she didn't take part in the leadership debate. amber rudd the first cabinet minister to outline a possible different way forward if things go wrong on tuesday with the big vote in parliament on the deal and eve ryo ne in parliament on the deal and everyone expects that will not go in her favour. the nowhere everyone expects that will not go in herfavour. the nowhere plus option and amber rudd mentioned this herself would have the —— norway plus. it would have the single
8:06 am
market and free movement of people. continuation of large sums of money being paid into the eu budget without having a say at the table. there are other issues. amber rudd nods to some of these, one would not be in the customs union with the eu under this model and one would have to go into some kind of customs union to resolve the northern ireland border issue which wouldn't go away under this. this is also talking about the future relationship and wouldn't necessarily mean a word of the 500 page document of the divorce deal thatis page document of the divorce deal that is all wrapped up in the road that is all wrapped up in the road that it would be changed. it is an interesting time just ahead of the drought. is it aimed to put a bit more pressure on theresa may? i don't think you could put war on the prime minister at the moment such is the stress and strange you must be under. thank you. paris is in virtual lockdown today, amid fears of a fourth—straight weekend of violence, from
8:07 am
anti—government demonstrations. the "yellow vest" movement began as a protest about fuel tax rises — but has attracted wide ranging support. 90,000 police and riot officers have been deployed across france, while tourist sites, shops and restaurants in paris, will remain closed. let's ta ke let's take you to the images coming to us from the centre of paris this morning. these early stages. many of those yellow vested protesters visible. this is right and centre of paris. we know the champs—elysees itself is shut off. tens of thousands of police have been called on to special duty there. some umbrella reports from the news in france suggesting that 278 people have been detained already in paris and of those meetings. you can see the images this morning of the early
8:08 am
stages. 0r correspondent hugh schofield said early engagements have been friendly and i have been noissues have been friendly and i have been no issues so far although there are some reports that there have been some reports that there have been some arrests. a man who drove his car into a crowd of protesters, during a rally in the us city of charlottesville, has been found guilty of murder. 21—year—old alex fieldsjunior, was described by prosecutors as "a white supremacist", and was convicted on all ten charges he faced, including killing 32—year—old civil rights activist heather heyer. a british sailor, whose yacht was crippled by a ferocious storm in a round—the—world race, has been rescued. this dramatic picture shows susie goodall being wynched to safety yesterday, by a 40,000 tonne cargo ship. she'd been left stranded for two days after her boat violently capsized, 2000 miles off the coast of chile. it will take two weeks on board the
8:09 am
ship for her to reach land but she is safe and well. china has launched the first mission to land a robotic craft on the far side of the moon. a static lander and rover — will touch down on the von karman crater, which is believed to be the oldest and largest impact feature on the moon. the mission will pave the way for the country to deliver samples of rock and soil to earth. it is ten past eight. we will have the weather with matt. michael havers sport a little later on. it's the news no parent wants to receive. this morning, a week after british backpacker grace millane went missing in new zealand, police say they're questioning a man in connection with her murder. sadly, it's something all too familiar for our next guest, tim blackman, whose daughter lucie, tragically lost her life injapan at the age of 21. he set up a charitable support trust in her memory
8:10 am
which has been assisting grace's family over the last number of days. good morning and thank you for joining us. this is the most appalling of time to the family. yes, terrible. like everybody else we we re yes, terrible. like everybody else we were rather going into the hope that there will be some good news coming out over the last 48 hours, but unfortunately it has turned to the worst possible tragedy which is awful. we don't want to talk because there is ongoing police investigation at the moment but he had some contact with the family in the last few days, is that right? i'll have you been able to help them? the trust stepped on to quit a massive void which is a void i fell into when lucie meant missing in japan. when you leave these shores you leave behind the police and all the support and agencies that would help you if you got into some sort
8:11 am
of trouble in this country. so the trust works very closely with the foreign office. they can do a number of things but the trust fills in all those gaps and we have been doing it fiow those gaps and we have been doing it now for ten or 12 years. we have a couple of hundred cases a year of this type, most of them end up happily not so tragically. we are like a strong friend for a family who is in this situation when they are suffering the worst fears and the worst traumas of hearing news like they have heard today, we are there and can think clearly. we know what will happen and how to work it out. do you know how much support grace's family are getting at there? the support has been very strong from police. they have worked very well. from our point of view our perspective, a crisis like this in an english—speaking country is really a lot more straightforward to assist the family than if it is in
8:12 am
thailand or argentina or something like that. so we are very impressed by the way that oakland police stepped in and taking control of this —— auckland. stepped in and taking control of this -- auckland. we were seeing a moment ago a father having to do a press c0 nfe re nce . moment ago a father having to do a press conference. these are the most appalling of situations to find yourself in. nothing can prepare you put that presumably. your own experiences i guess, but having been there i guess that is the point, you can offer some first—hand experience. that is right, and that is the lucie blackman trust usp, when people talk to us we know we know they how they are feeling, i know they how they are feeling, i know precisely how the family of grace millane are feeling. we were there seven months looking for lucie and fora there seven months looking for lucie and for a big chunk of that time i couldn't think properly or straight.
8:13 am
the shock kind of shots your head down and i am sure that the millane family will be in that situation which is where the lucie blackman trust can keep things going and keep working for them. it must be so helpful to have you there, that organisation there, because not only is it of course devastating for the family it is also a huge new story but in new zealand and over here so they are having to do all the media attention as well. we act as a shock absorber in that situation. we understand from experience the media is extremely helpful. it raised the profile enormously in new zealand and over here, coupled with social media, which is also now a strong tool. but it can be enormously intrusive for a family, so that this pa rt of intrusive for a family, so that this part of what i am doing here, fulfilling the requirement for the information, but they haven't got people camping on front lawn, so thatis people camping on front lawn, so that is how we work. there is no
8:14 am
escaping the awfulness of what is happening in this situation being played out in auckland of course, but you mentioned how you work with a lot of cases where there is a satisfactory result weather is not something dreadful that is part of the story, that is part of what you do as well. yes, avenue will come to us do as well. yes, avenue will come to us and say we haven't heard from josh for three weeks and we are anxious, he is out in melbourne are wherever it is, and we will use contacts in countries and social media and various other ways to find out where he is. not an uncommon factor is that they don't want to be contacted. if we find them we will get in touch and sayjust, your family is worried, it can we send a message to say you're all right, can we have your permission? often having broken that eyes and started the conversation with the family, it
8:15 am
ends up —— ice. a lot of that stuff goes on. thank you for coming in this morning. it is a pleasure, thank you. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. thank you, pretty windy start of the weekend across the uk. england and wales will have the strongest winds throughout. increasing salaries throughout. increasing salaries through this afternoon. a weekend of two hours. a lot more sunshine tomorrow. a few showers. also a bit colder. sobbing the rainjackets for something warmer. at the moment this swirl of cloud. low pressure. strongest winds across scotland yesterday. chilly in the wind. 50 or 60 mph in places. showers at the moment across england and wales. the company when numbers. more return. already starting to gather in
8:16 am
south—west england, wales and northern ireland. it don't mess. some sunshine in between. to give you a rough idea how wind it will be close to gale force arrived today. the strongest winds this morning and then the evening. temperatures is a notch above what they were yesterday. some of the sunniest weather this afternoon in central scotla nd weather this afternoon in central scotland where we stayed right or tonight. showers in southern scotla nd tonight. showers in southern scotland and northern ireland will fade later on. england and wales that they assure us keep going driving it is in strong winds and it is because that is where we see that the, 60, 70 is because that is where we see that the, 60,70 mph gusts tonight, southern and western coasts. so both iphone two of you. temperatures hold up. 7—9. further north could be a touch of frost. joe start to sunday but the bit more sunshine. that is of this weather system which brings the showers across central and southern but they wouldn't wales to stash sunday clears southwards and we open the door to northerly winds. all of us feel substantially cooler
8:17 am
by the end of sunday. a bit more cloud across the south. lots of sunshine developing. some showers across scotland will turn to sleet and snow over the hills. at the rain showers into northern ireland and wales later on. many will get through sunday if not completely dry largely dry but temperatures will be in single figures. winds later as well but tomorrow compared with today. that breeze as it falls a little later still into sunday night means with clearer skies around parts of scotland, northern ireland and eastern counties of england it will turn distinctly chilly. a few showers in the west. cold the prostatitis and the start of next week across northern and eastern areas. further south and west temperatures not quite as low but cloud stars to encroach into the of mandate and next week forecast is crucial on what will win. colder air pushing in the eastern areas or mother air off the atlantic. at lizo the mail they will eventually win
8:18 am
but in getting there we could see a speu but in getting there we could see a spell of snow over the hills. a lot of uncertainty tied the next week. today with strong winds if you're putting up christmas decorations stay up ladders today. thank you. i am backing the mild edge went. a terminally ill man — with motor neurone disease — has described the ban on assisted dying as "medieval", saying he feels "cheated by the system". last week, 68—year—old noel conway was refused permission by the supreme court to hear his appeal. 0ur medical correspondent fergus walsh has been speaking to him at his home near shrewsbury. noel conway is keeping mentally active, composing short stories on his computer. physically he needs round—the—clock support from his wife carol and carers. he argues the ban on assisted dying contravenes
8:19 am
his human rights by the supreme court has refused to hear his appeal. i am bitterly disappointed. iam appeal. i am bitterly disappointed. i am bewildered. appeal. i am bitterly disappointed. iam bewildered. ifeel as appeal. i am bitterly disappointed. i am bewildered. ifeel as though i had been cheated. ifeel as i am bewildered. ifeel as though i had been cheated. i feel as though it isa had been cheated. i feel as though it is a poor day for the british justice. noel conway is almost com pletely justice. noel conway is almost completely dependent on a ventilator to help him breathe and is getting progressively weaker. so what does he see as his options now? for me to have my ventilator removed at some stage. it would be a terrible experience for my wife and family, not knowing whether i could hear them, not knowing how long it would ta ke them, not knowing how long it would take before i expired. it provides a
8:20 am
com pletely take before i expired. it provides a completely different experience and opportunity of end of life, whereby i would be in control of that and i could say now i wish to end my life. i would not be semiconscious. what would you say to people who while they may have very great sympathy for you will say that the law is there to protect the vulnerable, and it should be maintained as it is because otherwise a right to die could be turned into a duty today and people might feel pressured?” would agree that the weak and vulnerable clearly do need protection from any abuse. but i think that is there. when you have two doctors who have to test you,
8:21 am
that you are mentally sound, they are terminally ill —— you are terminally ill. plus a high court judge to oversee that. mps rejected proposals for assisted dying in 2015. the supreme court has refused to hear your appeal. where does the campaignfor to hear your appeal. where does the campaign for assisted dying down now? think it goes back to parliament to be honest. i'm appealing to mps to listen. 100 billion people around the world can avail themselves of a dignified and humane ending to their life. —— million. at the moment we camped in this country. we —— camp. we are governed it would appear by a medieval mindset. noel conway knows his legal challenge to the ban on assisted dying is over. but he says
8:22 am
he will continue campaign for control over when and how he dies. it is extraordinary hearing those words. noel conway there who has motor neurone disease. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. it is time for a look at the newspapers. former newspaper editor paul horrocks is here to tell us what's caught his eye. good morning. we'll speak to paul in a minute, first let's look at the front pages. the times reports that mps from labour, the dup and the conservatives are "lining up to sack theresa may" if her brexit deal does not pass tuesday's commons vote. the prime minister's future is also the lead in the telegraph. the paper reports that may will be "told to quit" by ministers if she loses the vote. the express claims that cholesterol—reducing drug statins "would save thousands of lives"
8:23 am
in the uk if administered in "big, regular doses". and finally, the daily mail leads with an interview with the first woman to give birth using a womb transplant. where would you start us, ball? not brexit, a brexit freeze. the daily mail have been investigating notability. that is a taxpayer funded charity which leases carers to wheelchair users in exchange for their ability allowances. it is not to make a profit, except it has now been revealed it has been making enormous profits, a record £560 million profit last year. it has been investigated by the national audit office. the chief executive stood down, he was a late {1.7
8:24 am
million pay packet. its reserves stand at {2.5 billion. billion. at one time it had unplanned profits of only —— over £1 billion and had to dump £400 million into its pension scheme. you have to say to yourself, who on earth has been watching or regulating disorganisation that is they are to provide a good service to wheelchair users, mobility, and it has been making enormous profits. why weren't they being ploughed back into other services for disabled people or back to the treasury? it has been sitting on this mountain of cash for years. is there another side to the story? is there evidence the scheme has worked? it works well. that is one small upsides to
8:25 am
it, almost like an ethical question. clearly a much—needed scheme. but you have to say, the key is not—for—profit. why you have to say, the key is not—for— profit. why is you have to say, the key is not—for—profit. why is it sitting on all that cash. and there is no other organisation of the asamoah work because that is the nature of it because that is the nature of it because people can't compete because it is government funded. and anybody who needs a car with their allowance gets it from motability and it is funded by the taxpayer. so that money should be plugged back in. we are always looking about public services being short of money. this organisation has been sitting on huge profits and not using them for the benefit... those figures are not a secret. we are seeing them now. their own report has come out. lets go on toa their own report has come out. lets go on to a story from the express. the statins story. there has been a debate for a long time in medical circles whether or not statins are beneficial. there is a lot of doubt
8:26 am
about statins that they could actually cause kidney problems, joint pain and therefore reducing cholesterol for people who have particularly had the heart attack but they have been linked with kidney problems. now a new study is going the opposite way and shows that higher doses of particular statins ta ken that higher doses of particular statins taken regularly and properly could save something like 12,000 lives a year. what people to do? medical experts can't agree all we're left with the saying we need more research. normally the routine is the official line is from nice to give the guidelines and that is what the days. i am sure they are regulated and nice would recommend them but there is lots of clinical opinion that says actually statins can have a side—effect. but now the appeal court abundances higher dose of statins will save your life. more
8:27 am
research. exactly. you will talk to us research. exactly. you will talk to us about the rescue sailor which is a story about an endeavour and daring, also about someone being safe after being in jeopardy. as a former dinghy sailor myself i love talking about this major adventures. susie goodall is in the round the world race which is the global challenge, golden globe challenge, she is one of the youngest competitors, the youngest and the only woman. she was in a terrible storm off cape horn, her small yacht was that from stern to bow, completely overturned. she spent 12 hours clinging on to it but, managed to send out the rescue signal and it took a while for a chilean cargo vessel to come and rescue her. she then had to balance on the edge of
8:28 am
her yacht, bouncing around in nine metre swell, 75 miles per wins while this huge cargo ship down to her and winched her on board. she sent a message on twitter saying she is having a cup of tea. that is the extraordinary thing. she also managed to tweak. friends say in the story this is typical of suzy. nothing fazes her whatsoever. it reminds you of the person who was trapped in the upturned hull of his yacht for seven days proportion he was rescued. she was knocked unconscious. he picked up the story, i will tease this because we don't have time to do it properly, a story about a father's exasperation over a computer device. what he did to try and... many parents must be sick of the amount of time their children
8:29 am
spend on digital devices. this dad took a power source. look at this, so dramatic. taking it too extreme. simon shaw from greater manchester. you can see the exasperation in his face. on social media, i wonder what his kids think of him now and will get a replacement for christmas? you will be like in an hour. see you then. the headlines coming up in just a moment. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. here's a summary of this morning's main news. in the last few hours, police in new zealand have said the disappearance of 22—year—old british backpacker, grace millane, is being treated as a suspected murder. she was last seen at a hotel on 1st december. auckland police say they have not found her body, but have released images of a silver necklace and pink watch, which are missing from her luggage in the hope that it will help them find her. at least six people, most of them teenagers,
8:30 am
have been crushed to death in stampede at a nightclub in northern italy, italian media are reporting. the incident took place at around 1am, near the eastern coastal city of ancona. about a thousand people were at the "lanterna azzurra" club, for a concert by an italian rapper, when panic broke out — reportedly after pepper spray was used. firefighters say dozens of others were injured as they rushed for the exit. paris is in virtual lockdown today, amid fears of a fourth—straight weekend of violence, from anti—government demonstrations. the "yellow vest" movement began as a protest about fuel tax rises — but has attracted wide ranging support. 90,000 police and riot officers have been deployed across france. we can now speak to our paris correspondent hugh schofield. we are and the police, riot police
8:31 am
getting ready for this fourth weekend of protest that sounds like really expecting the worst. —— with 90,000 expected. there are certainly expecting the worst in paris, in the last half hour here we have seen a big movement of yellow vest protesters down from the arc de triomphe which is way back there. and they have been moving there must be several thousand i would say, en masse down towards the bottom end weather is a big, big police line. there are armoured vehicles and a big fan to be put up under awful lot of police around. the situation is so far good—humoured but one senses that it has potential to turn tends very quickly. the groups of police, over very are police who are plainclothed
8:32 am
but also with helmets on who have taken some people aside and patting them down. nothing too serious but thatis them down. nothing too serious but that is what is happening all around. i'm going to come over here now. the tactics of the police do seem to be different this time, the area is open to the protesters which is why they have come down. at the moment the situation is relatively good—humoured but one senses a certain tension in the air. the language coming out of france is serious, they're talking about serious, they're talking about serious violence that could probably could potentially see. emmanuel macron has made concessions but these protests a re macron has made concessions but these protests are going ahead a nyway these protests are going ahead anyway a fourth weekend. yes, and thatis anyway a fourth weekend. yes, and that is why it is a very important weekend, what happens today could be a turning point. if there is more of
8:33 am
the violence we saw last week then we are in uncharted territory, and the pressure on emmanuel macron will be enormous. eitherfor the pressure on emmanuel macron will be enormous. either for an even tougher security crackdown or to make more concessions. his hope is that this will be the crest, the peak, last weekend was the worst of the violence had today there will be fewer in number here in paris and police tactics will work this time and there will not be the degradation of public property at the burning of cars that we saw last week and if that happens there will bea week and if that happens there will be a sense that maybe the christmas holiday period is approaching, the worst is over and there is a genuine feeling that it is time to start talking rather than protesting. at the moment you can see which way it is going to go, so far it is all fairly, there are an off a lot of people here, determined people and there will be some agitators who wa nt to there will be some agitators who want to cause trouble. it could easily flare—up. we will come back
8:34 am
to you very soon. thank you. the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, has become the first government minister to openly back an alternative brexit strategy. ms rudd told the bbc that the prime minister's deal is the best on offer, but she is looking at alternative options, if mps reject the proposal in the commons on tuesday. the deal we have is the one the prime minister put forward, the one that most of us are quality and behind in order to try and deliver on the referendum, and i think that is the best coprolites. what i have done is look ahead and see that after that if it does not get through then anything could happen, there could be all sorts of alternatives that could be thrown out which is one of the reasons why we need to back the prime minister in the deal on tuesday. a british sailor, whose yacht was crippled by a ferocious storm in a round—the—world race, has been rescued. this dramatic picture shows susie goodall being wynched to safety yesterday, by a 40—thousand tonne cargo ship. she'd been left stranded for two days after her boat violently capsized, 2,000 miles
8:35 am
off the coast of chile. it isa reminder of the dangers of that particular sport. it can take ages in the sea to get any help. the seas are mountainous, so many dangers, the cold, the swell, occurrence. tha nkfully the cold, the swell, occurrence. thankfully she is ok. few of sequel, it is coming next year. —— fury versus wild. sometimes you have to go early. it is never too early. the christmas tree is here even though we haven't got it up yet. just trying to encourage our bosses. but they are saying that the fury wilder rematch could happen, perhaps
8:36 am
next may in las vegas. you see that wilder should be facing dominic basil as his next mandatory challenger, but because the world boxing council said it was such an epic heavyweight contest, one of the vessel in basic, they have given the go—ahead to the sequel next may. fury wa nted go—ahead to the sequel next may. fury wanted in this country but it is more likely to be in las vegas. it will be worth a lot of money. the result was pretty controversial. talking of controversy, did you see the championship last night? a brilliant goal from anwar el ghazi put aston villa ahead, against their west midlands rivals west brom...and it jay rodriguez goes on for the ball
8:37 am
and admitted afterwards that goes off his arm but the goal stood. aston villa were up in arms and it finished 2—2. it is a second family have seen them so far in the championship this week and there is for the iata come in. it inadvertently came off his arm. bring in va are and you will get these problems. cani these problems. can ijust these problems. can i just ask, these problems. can ijust ask, if on the pitch the player at that moment in time and said, looking off my arm,... the referee can still give it. evenif the referee can still give it. even if he is told? it is the letter e's decision, he says that the referee you can give that goal, i have my mitts all over that... will someone really do that? there have been moments of honesty over the years. i would can ill famously said. playing everton and he had bowled and told the referee.
8:38 am
everyone said paolo de canale, what a brilliant sportsmen. but it is very rare. she had told the referee the referee could have said ok, no goal. that was last-minute. big west midlands derby. to be fair to jay rodriguez he must not quite sure. i don't blame him at all. you are all about the honesty. what else do you have? we have an interesting interview with ryan fraser, bournemouth are playing really well and ryan fraser more than anyone else has more assists in the premier league than anyone so we're talking to him today about individual, the way he has played as an individual the season with one of her playing and we were talking to him about one element, family sacrifice, what his family have done to give him the opportunity to clean the premier league. when i was younger my dad quit hisjob, i used to live in the
8:39 am
middle east, i used to live in mind. there was no football out there. he gave up his job there was no football out there. he gave up hisjob with good money and came back home and try to get me in a local team and it went from there, he never knew i would become a professional footballer. into foot ball professional footballer. into football himself, but when he saw me enjoying a ball in the back yard he wanted, your parents alike, they give up anything for you, so it makes it all the more special when you score your scotland: anything they can give back i will. point him from him, and we have an with sean daesh. are the natives restless? can this themselves out? it is his journey from the ht of italian football right the way to nail being premier league manager. we have a lovely piece of stonewall fc being invited to play at wembley, we live in paris with alex scott for the draw for the year 19 —— world cup.
8:40 am

8:42 am
only one could stay in the world cup. mark's england side had the tougher task. they needed to win. it was 1—1 in the third quarter when liam ansell smashed them ahead. it was some twist of fate for him. he'd only been drafted into the squad late on. there were stories everywhere. ten of ireland's squad had to take leave to be at the tournament. and yet, within a minute, shane 0'donoghue steered them level. as it stood, they were going through. it didn't stand for long. another minute later and in a flash, england were back ahead. james gall‘s goal was crucial. now ireland had to chase this. paul gleghorne overstretched, yellow card. the final seconds of his world cup spent watching his brother score for england. international sport at its most personal. patrick gearey, bbc news. defending champion ronnie 0'sullivan, is two wins away from a record seventh uk championship title. he takes on tom ford in the semi—finals, after beating martin o'donnell 6—1, though 0'suliivan said it took him
8:43 am
a while to settle into the match. i wasjust a bit on edge, you know, just trying to feel my way into it, and it's never good because you got to try and impose yourself as much as you can. that's probably a really good match for me because i had to play some safety and be patient. sometimes i'm not taking my match form immediately onto the match table, i'm finding my feet. i know my game's there, it's nice to just get it right from the off, you know? now you might remember, we recently showed you pictures of andy murray's unusual gym routine. well the former world number one, has been at it again, this time with a pretty impressive hula hoop work out. hopefully it'll help him at next month's australian open. i bet that is harder than it looks. he makes it look easy. member last summer when he did a bbc breakfast wimbledon hula hoop routine and he was good at that. the de dea 0k? he was one of the
8:44 am
best. maybe it was two summers ago. any dogs watching we have had more pictures of dogs watching the dog agility future. there is one that was particularly bonkers watching other dogs go around. he gets very excited. it is 845 exactly. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is not grey today if you're heading after the christmas shopping street, it may look all right but later on we will see sharers gather across many areas and today has you already know a few have stepped out it is pretty windy out there especially for england and why is. but tomorrow, bear with, tomorrow will be windy with fewer showers and a good deal brighter. another pitch area. now at the moment you see how the cloud is committing anticlockwise, this area of low pressure brought the strong winds to scotla nd pressure brought the strong winds to scotland yesterday. the prince of westerly winds and quite chilly female there. a bit of sunshine
8:45 am
developing for many areas for a time, central parts in particular but already more cloud in the west than the sharers get going and it will spread northwards at the switch. especially across northern ireland and scotland. further so the sharers become more hit and miss with some shunted —— sunshine in between, good deal through the central lowlands of scotland. butland on the strong side, 15, six -- 50, 60 butland on the strong side, 15, six —— 50, 60 mph butland on the strong side, 15, six —— 50,60 mph gusts. butland on the strong side, 15, six —— 50, 60 mph gusts. tensions were with the little bit relative to yesterday's. the wind continues to be strong tonight, central parts of scotla nd be strong tonight, central parts of scotland should stay dry with some showers in the north, sharers fading later in the night but they keep going to england and while the wales in central and southern england the winds will strengthen again. 50, 60, 72 mph glass could lead to sleepless nights for some. 7—9d here, getting colder with a touch of frost and in the morning. and get used to the colderfail
8:46 am
the morning. and get used to the colder fail because it will take all of us through sunday afternoon, this is the weather front separating the less cold air with the even cold air, it will push southwards during the first age of monday, opening the door to northerly winds. we will see cloud and a few showers across central and southern england and while, they fade away and showers return to northern ireland and wales later on. he went wintry showers in scotla nd later on. he went wintry showers in scotland but we have plenty of sunshine from most of you through sunday afternoon, temperatures will fall back into single figures for the vast majority. the southern counties of england avoid that. winds tomorrow will be lighter than today's values and with a lighter winds to take us into sunday night it is in your working week and from any of you will be a colder one, scotla nd any of you will be a colder one, scotland and eastern parts and in particular are prone to frost, especially across inland areas. but further south and west there will be more cloud around and temperatures should hold up. there will be cold a in the east as we go through much of

next week. that is how it is looking asi next week. that is how it is looking as i had you back to tina and charlie. universal credit has been criticised for pushing people into "unacceptable hardship" — and now the bbc understands it will be rolled out in north kensington — just days before christmas — which could impact many of those affected by the fire at grenfell tower. the welfare reform scheme — combines six different benefits into one monthly payment — but delays of up to 5 weeks have been blamed for rent arrears and a growing reliance on food banks. ashleyjohn—baptiste has more. maher has lived with polio since he was a child in syria. he moved to england a decade ago and lived in grenfell tower with his wife and three daughters. 0n the night of the fire, he hobbled down 13 sets of stairs through blackened smoke to escape with his family. they now live in this kensington flat, still struggling with the impact of the fire and with his disability, maher is out of work and receives employment support allowance.
8:48 am
he is worried about the rollout of universal credit. i ask the government, don't think this decision, it is wrong. the move will affect people in the area who sign on from the 12th of december and existing claimants whose circumstances change. universal credit combines six different benefits and is paid in arrears. people who switch to the scheme must wait five weeks for their first payment but from next year, this will be reduced to three weeks. it's now been a year and five months since the grenfell tower fire but still, many locals continue to struggle rebuilding their lives and moving forward.
8:49 am
it is against this backdrop that some question whether days before christmas is the right time to be rolling out universal credit. the mp for kensington has set up this new food bank in time to christmas. she has written to the department of work and pensions asking them to stop the rollout. it is unthinkable, really. they don't have another christmas now wondering whether or not they are going to be able to afford to buy food that loan presents to their children. we have people coming to us were completely destitute, lost their home, they've been through the most horrific experience, they lost family members and neighbours and friends, com pletely u nsettled and their lives are now destitute because of grenfell. we asked the government for an interview. they declined, but gave us this reply: in his budget speech last in his budget speech last
8:50 am
month, the chancellor pledged to spend another £1 billion in universal credit over the next five years but in recent months, however, the welfare scheme has been blamed for causing destitution and increased bank usage. antonio, who lived in the 10th floor of grenfell tower, doesn't plan to sign on but he is also critical. it is bad timing. when it comes to putting policies into place like this one, they should totally know the sense of reality, that's the right word, a sense of reality of what goes on in the normal life, in the normal world, in the normal working class people. he was hailed by elvis as the "greatest singer in the world", and now, rock and roll legend roy orbison's hit songs have been revived with a classical twist. 30 years since his death,
8:51 am
a new album uses archive recordings with accompaniment from the royal philharmonic orchestra. let's hear the new version of "heartbreak radio". we're joined now by roy orbison junior and producer don reedman. we are all sitting here thinking... i think that works. it is lovely to see you this morning. there were a couple of images in the video there. 0n the drums, who was on the drums? roy orbison the third, my first child and rise of first grandson. saw a real family affair. added this collaboration come about?” saw a real family affair. added this collaboration come about? i made a re cord collaboration come about? i made a record with elvis and 2015 and it do really well with the solomonic then isaid to really well with the solomonic then i said to the sony case, if this does well can we do one with roy orbison? and they talked about it
8:52 am
and got in touch with roy's boys in the next thing i know we were making the next thing i know we were making the record so we made a love so beautiful last year which is backing the charts now, i remade for this year unchained melody 's, which is none six. what did you think you first had the idea? i was already, i a lwa ys first had the idea? i was already, i always watched jealously the elvis and johnny cash, whatever they do with usually work well for roy and i'm a big fan of elvis, and the guys at sun records, so we were aware of them before they wear, i think before they knew they wanted us, so it was a match made in heaven. what i think of it? i loved the vision that they had. dawn regan and nick patrick invented a sub genre of music, and that is no small statement. i have to say to them all the time, do you know what you have done? it is a sub genre of music. there's a lot of copying and stuff going but we loved it.”
8:53 am
there's a lot of copying and stuff going but we loved it. i am very mindful that it must be a wonderful thing, and this is stating the obvious, how much you love roy's music. and one of the things that comes out in that clip is how well it is you did to this kind of treatment. yes, right kind of invented what was called pulp in the late 50s and that affected soul music like stand by me and benny king, and country music, what they called the national side. all the way through to his friends like the wilburys, and electric light orchestra, abba, queen, all the way to heavy metal like... i remained. so his music was made for this. it fits like a glove. the royal fellow moniker so proud of this album and my brothers... the structure of the songs lends itself to symphonic arrangements and of course that big pure voice is the lead instrument that comes through with a rich in
8:54 am
folic sound around it, he can't beat it. it works, but it has been 30 yea rs it. it works, but it has been 30 years since your father died. why do you think his music still is still so popular even today? well although we feel like our lives are so much different than 60 years ago, roy's music and the songs he wrote speak for all is. all the different groups you can think of. like shakespeare it is not just foreign you can think of. like shakespeare it is notjust foreign aid, it is for all time. for all of us we see these images and that is the right we knew, what was it like it home? what was the home thing like? was he singing to you at home? i love stories like that. he did not listen to music outside because he did so much songwriting, he did not want any influences. he was a great father, he had lost two boys, my two brothers before i was born. he died december six, we have an anniversary two days ago and my mother died 23
8:55 am
yea rs later two days ago and my mother died 23 years later on december six and my grandfather died on december six. on the same day. so when i fully understand the seventh hand that in mind. you must be very much in that moment. you will michael, yes, but it is little things, not the big things. when you have a great friendship with someone it is little things that bring purity to your eyes so it is a little touches that amis. in your godfather is... johnny cash. and roy three has godfather is joe walsh and we're stuck. all wilburys and also reference people. 0ne wilburys and also reference people. one of the wonderful things about this music is that it brings it to people who maybe have inherited some of the music before. it is hard to imagine that given the great songs they are but that is always the point, sometimes even bring something new to the table. definitely with these recordings because they sound contemporary yet they keep the spirit of roy and
8:56 am
directed and we just make a more contemporary sound, make it a little richer and it has appeal to your audience. we notice from the concerts and the ones we did with ellis presley, we get a younger demographic that comes along, which is wonderful. keats 's music alive, which it should do because it is from a heart. in the musicaltalent is clearly going straight to generations. we have every living 0rbison on this album. we have my brothers westley and alex, grandchildren, emily and write the third and even my brotherjust had a baby, roy's granddaughter, she is there in spirit, and ijust want to stress that this is an all—new recording. we stripped away the backing, some of it is different keys and temples, and so it is not just a greatest hits package, it is a brand—new roy orbison album in 2018 going into 2019, we're still sitting around, look at who's on the
8:57 am
charts. it is most funny, isn't it? buddy holly, roy orbison. don and roy it has been wonderful having you. thank you so much for your time. roy to the world, merry christmas. merry christmas to you too. the headlines coming up injust a moment. good morning, welcome to breakfast with tina daheley and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today... police in new zealand say a 26—year—old man will be charged with the murder of the british backpacker grace millane. amber rudd has become the first cabinet minister to openly suggest a plan b if theresa may's brexit deal is rejected by mps. paris in lockdown as security services brace for a fourth weekend of protests.
