6:02 am
police released pictures of a red rental car and asked the public for any sightings of last monday. 0fficers confirmed a postmortem investigation will be conducted on the body found. 22—year—old grace was on a year—long worldwide trip and had been in contact with her family nearly every day since she had got to new zealand, until december one, the day before her 22nd birthday. grace had been staying at a backpacker ‘s still in auckland. the last confirmed sighting was on saturday night a week ago, entering a hotel with a male companion. police say she —— he had been with her during the evening. a 26—year—old man has been charged with her murder and is due to appear in court on monday. downing street insists that tuesday's crunch brexit votes will go ahead, rejecting suggestions that theresa may could delay it in order to avoid a defeat. will quince, a ministerial aide at the ministry of
6:03 am
defence has resigned from his position, saying he could not back the deal. here is iain watson. all we are must have reached over brexit and theresa may's deal. today it took to the streets, a large conference and in east london, if you are somebody who supports the people's the campaign. they are having a rally for another referendum. it will be addressed by lord heseltine and other celebrities. lord heseltine will be arguing that those who want a new referendum are the true british patriots. it is the people on the other side of the argument, convinced leave campaigners, they are the ones belittling britain and reducing britain's influence. ukip is organising its own rally, a brexit betrayal rally, they are calling it. it will also include the controversial figure of tommy robinson, there used to lead the english defence league and his presence has caused quite a few people in ukip, including former leader nigel for us, to resign from the party. not surprisingly, there
6:04 am
will be a counter demonstration —— nigel farage. theresa may will be trying to win over more of her mps for the deal. an uphill battle before the crunch vote on tuesday. downing street our existing that vote will go ahead despite the fact that the speculation that westminster is that she will lose quite substantially. if anything, things are going slightly in the wrong direction for her. last night a junior ministerial aide, will quince, the colchester mp, resigned saying he could not back a deal. this is at a time when she really needs to win people over. again ministers have been talking more openly about what will happen if this does not go ahead. iain watson there. nearly 1000 people were arrested, and more than 100 people received hospital treatment. as lucy williams they called it a protest. at times it looked more like a game of urban war. groups of protesters fanned
6:05 am
through the capital's streets. from the arc de triomphe to republique, boulevards once built to open the veins of the city filled with tear gas, burning vehicles, and riot police. the police were well prepared for this confrontation, with armoured vehicles, new tactics, and bag searches — seizing gas masks and helmets and anything that could be used against police. the tear gas, far stronger than usual, took many protesters by surprise. and rapid reaction squads marked out by orange armbands were stationed among the protesters to spot trouble and make early arrests. despite the violence of previous protests, this movement still has the backing of many voters in france. its members proud of their lack of leadership and the diversity of their support. but this movement is already splintering into two kinds of protest — one that looks
6:06 am
towards a new political programme and a violent wing, opposed to any negotiation. it is hard to exclude and even harder to control. lucy williamson, bbc news, paris. president trump is now looking for his third chief of staff after announcing thatjohn his third chief of staff after announcing that john kelly his third chief of staff after announcing thatjohn kelly is leaving the post at the end of the month. it is not clear why the former marine general is stepping down, but us media reports talk of growing disagreements with mr trump. general kelly has been in the role since the end ofjuly of last year and becomes the 28th member of senior staff to have resigned or been fired during the trump administration. john kelly will be leaving. i don't know if i can say retiring. but he isa know if i can say retiring. but he is a great guy. john kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. we
6:07 am
will be announcing he will be taking his place, it might be on an interim basis. i will be announcing that of the next day or two. a campaign is being launched today to warn young athletes about the dangers of under eating and overtraining. the condition is known as relative energy deficiency in sport and it affects hundreds of people and can lead to serious eating disorders like bellini and anorexia. we will get more details from adrian goldberg. this is really shocking. it is shocking. i have met people in the last few weeks who suffer from this, relative deficiency —— energy deficiency in sport. if you're not taking enough energy in relative to that which you are expanding, it can have really serious consequences. i spoke to one female athlete this week who has represented england. she has not had a period for eight years. i spoke to another athlete who has four stress factor that fractures of the lower spine. if you
6:08 am
are suffering from this you are much more prone to stress that —— fractures. i spoke to a male cyclist this week who in his 20s was told he had the bone density of an eight—year—old. had the bone density of an eight-year-old. you mentioned the cyclist and some runners, other esports that have more of this and others —— 80—year—old. esports that have more of this and others -- 80-year-old. the tendencies towards insurance sportswear leanness is seen as an advantage. in the short term some of your plants can improve, the longer term it is damage. if that is why people do it, leaner and light is better? li na, light, those buzzwords. in reducing your weight you may be taking away some of the power giving elements of your athletic performances and putting undue stress on your body, making you much more liable to stress fractures. thank you. you can hear
6:09 am
more on that on the five leif investigates programme at 11 a.m.. 55 pairs of designer trainers which we re 55 pairs of designer trainers which were seized from a jailed gangster are to be sold at auction. the collection is valued at £18,000 and it includes luxury brands like louis vuitton,jimmy it includes luxury brands like louis vuitton, jimmy choo, it includes luxury brands like louis vuitton,jimmy choo, and it includes luxury brands like louis vuitton, jimmy choo, and gucci. their owner, who is serving 86 sexy sentence for shooting at a rival gang members, was allowed to keep any pairs was less than £100. staggering. i did not trainers cost more than £100. crazy. let us talk about the sound of wind. apparently in the uk we are very accustomed to the sound of wind, especially at this time of year. but does it sound different on mars, that is the question. not really, it turns out. despite not being designed to pick up despite not being designed to pick up sound, the reduced size monitor
6:10 am
carried on nasa's insight leader detected the martian air as it rushed over the pro's solar panels. the ultimate aim of the panel, which is just north of the equator, is not to study the wind but —— but big planet's geology. there you go. backburning question answered. —— that burning. it is 6:10 a.m.. let us that burning. it is 6:10 a.m.. let us get more on that developing story. we heard overnight that police in new zealand searching for the missing backpacker grace millane have now found a body. we talk to simon hampton, a reporter based in new zealand will stop bea joy does live this morning. thank you for your time. we are grateful for your talking to us. —— hejoined the your time. we are grateful for your talking to us. —— he joined the live this morning. ring us up to date with the latest. sad developments. earlier this afternoon, the few hours ago, police narrowed their search for grace millane, the missing british backpacker to an
6:11 am
area of bush about 30 minutes drive outside of auckland city. and then a short time ago they announced that they had found a body believed to be that of grace millane. certainly a tragic development from auckland this afternoon. we saw the police press c0 nfe re nce . this afternoon. we saw the police press conference. the officer who gave that, he seems to be quite emotional, because although it is a big country, it is a very important country, new zealand, it is quite a small community. there is a real sense of shock. that is exactly right. that press conference really summed up what the whole of new zealand is feeling about this. it is shock. anyone you talk to, you go out for coffee with people it is the first thing people are talking about. the story has rocked new zealand. people in disbelief, i guess, that this sort of thing would happen anywhere, let alone new zealand, and certainly seeing an
6:12 am
emotional detective inspector earlier today summed up that feeling. what is the message coming from the authorities. 0bviously backpackers, terrorism is such an important part of new zealand's economy. it is. that is the other aspect of this. this could reflect badly on the new zealand tourism industry which does, as you say, create a great deal, contribute a great deal to the new zealand economy. i think the message from them really is that this is an isolated incident. this is not new zealand. this does not sum up the kind of people in new zealand, the sort of stuff that happens here. and sort of stuff that happens here. and soi sort of stuff that happens here. and so i think you can see from the shock of new zealand people that thatis shock of new zealand people that that is the case as well. i think the message from the authorities is that this is an isolated incident that this is an isolated incident that really does not happen very often. and, of course, everybody's
6:13 am
thoughts are with grace millane's family. herfather thoughts are with grace millane's family. her father and his thoughts are with grace millane's family. herfather and his brother are there in auckland. the rest of the family still in the uk. do we know what is being done to help and support them? not yet. a lot of condolence is being sent out to them. i know the full family has not been able to make it out. but her father, david, arrived early this week. so there will be a lot of support, i think, from authorities. to be honest, it is the sort of thing that kiwis will offer themselves up to help out in any way possible, be it financial contributions to the family, it is the sort of thing that kiwis will try to help outwith. no word really yet on exactly what that maybe, but iam sure yet on exactly what that maybe, but i am sure they will not be short of. just a final word on the legal process , just a final word on the legal process, what happens next? —— not be short of support. they have taken a 26—year—old man in current —— into
6:14 am
custody. he will appear in court on monday, he will be charged with the murder of grace millane. it was last seen murder of grace millane. it was last seen with her. he will be charged with murder tomorrow. simon, thank you very much at home. thank you very much. simon hampton, a journalist based in new zealand. really shocking, isn't it? let's had now to match. he has a little view price of the weather. what have you got for us? good morning. something a bit better. we've got a few showers around at the moment. a bit more sunshine. turning them that a bit colder as well. the crowd is spending from west to east. linking and moving its way southwards. still
6:15 am
quite a few showers to come. still quite a few showers to come. still quite breezy across southern areas. showers mainly the first part of the morning, just noticing how they drift southwards. lots more in a way of sunshine. showers spreading from northern ireland into north and west wales. showers across northern scotland. the temperatures, three, four degrees. losses of sunshine to come. still a bit of a breeze around the coast. across much of england and wales into the afternoon, it could to start feeling cooler. into tonight, pushing into northwest england. we will see clearer skies into northern and eastern areas. further west, temperatures just
6:16 am
about hold up here. that is because we have encroaching cloud. still a chance of lost in the west to begin with. they will fade away. a few showers into southwest wales and northern ireland later. temperatures on monday afternoon, only around 47 degrees. a little mild out west. that sets is up for what is going to bea that sets is up for what is going to be a battle this week. caldaire on. ultimately, mild air could win out. it could be a slow process. widespread frost to begin with. standing stranded in between various amounts of cloud. 0verall, standing stranded in between various amounts of cloud. overall, it should be dry for many. temperatures in plymouth, 12 degrees. how quickly
6:17 am
that mild air takes over? the greatest uncertainty this week, it could well happen and if it does, snow possible over the hills. we will keep you updated. we will have the headlines shortly. first, it's time for the film review. hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. so, mark — what do we have this week? very good week. robert redford's final performance on—screen. we've got sorry to bother you, a socioeconomic satire, a sundance hit.
6:18 am
and white boy rick, it is true story with a great ensemble cast. the old man and the gun, robert redford, he is what, 82? 112, i think. i met him a number of years ago. name dropper! i was really impressed. the best thing about him is that he looks his age. he has weathered fantastically well. no botox? not as far as i can tell. he says this is his last film. it is based on a true story of an american career criminal and perennial jailbreaker. he is the old man of the title who, with accomplices, robs small banks. the way they do it is a very low—key, very understated. so polite, it's almost as if people don't notice that it's happened. certainly, the law don't start joining the dots for a long time. here's a clip. 0h.
6:19 am
don't cry. this is my first day. there's always a first time for everything. 0h. don't cry. this is my first day. there's always a first time for everything. chin up! doing a greatjob. super sparkly. it's shot with super 16 to give it a retro feel. he does the robbery and then he starts up a relationship with sissy spacek.
6:20 am
she says, what do you do. he says, if i ever told you what did, you wouldn't want to be associated. she kind of knows and doesn't know. meanwhile, casey affleck‘s detective is sort of starting to realise that all these jobs from the over the hill gang have a similar m0 and he starts to be on the tail. what i loved about this, the performances are just great. robert redford and sissy spacek are completely believable, they are affectionately drawn. theyjust talk and spend time together, it's beautiful. ensemble cast, great work from the likes of tom waits and danny glover.
6:21 am
it's got a feel to it that chimes very much with redford's screen career. if you look back to butch cassidy and the sundance kid and the sting, we've seen him doing cons and robberies in the movies and some stuff from his back catalogue is used very cleverly. i thought it was lovely, it was charming, it had an edge to it and his character does this stuff because he is kind of in love with it, and enjoys it. why is he smiling all the time? he seems to enjoy what he is doing. it's very gentle but it's not fluff. it has real substance. you really believe in those characters. i thought it was wonderful. i smiled. never say never, he will have a million offers to do something else but it will be a great note to end on because it's such a great film. sorry to bother you, it is a surreal satire set in an alternative present 0akland. a young man struggling to make rent. he takes a job with telemarketing
6:22 am
and is told by danny glover again, who is his workmate, your problem is you need to use your white voice. what is that? the white voice is the voice that sounds relaxed and casual and is the voice that your callers think they want to sound like and he does this, suddenly he starts climbing up the ladder and it puts him at odds with his friends who are going on strike and what the whole film is about, it's a satire about capitalism and modern slavery and a story about selling out and when you sell out, what you lose and what everyone around you loses. it's very funny. but it shifts slowly during the course of the movie
6:23 am
from a satire to something that is much more surreal and weird and drifts into the territory of horror and science fiction and if you think of something like oh, lucky man, the film which starts off as a story of a tea salesman and becomes really weird or a film by brian yuzna called society, this is very much on the same wavelength. some people said they can't take the shift but it's consistent, right from the beginning, it has a very strange twist, it is very funny, and i thought it was really good. white boy rick, the story of a teenager who became an undercover informant for the fbi. apparently, the fbi's youngest informant at the age of 1a in the early ‘80s. it is directed by jan de bont who made 71, a great indication of that period.
6:24 am
matthew mcconaughey is that father. bruce stern and piper lori other grandparents. we are introduced to them as a disparate dysfunctional family on the streets of detroit. dad! 0h, christ, keep going, i've got it under control. you don't need to stop the car, pop, everything is fine. everything is not fine. a man ran out of your house and you don't have a god dammed thing under control. you're going to let him talk to you like that bustard might go into the god dammed house, have it under control. stay out of it, it looks like richard is having a bad day. not having a bad day. i walked into the lion's den this morning and walked out with a golden fleece, ricky? you are pathetic, both of you. put some clothes on, will you? we are going for custard. i love matthew mcconaughey. the whole ensemble. is that under control! bruce stern is great. 19705 belfast, great in 71. this is an evocation of ‘80s detroit. crime and guns and drugs
6:25 am
but what it is primarily interested in is the family and the fact that at the beginning we are introduced to the young kid going into a gun show with his father and he has learnt the ropes from his dad, his dad has passed on what he thinks are the skills get into a lifestyle which is racked with danger and misery. what i liked about it, the film has a strange new and feel to it. it is based on a true story. you find yourself being more involved in the interrelations between the characters than in the actual gun sales and drug sales. jenniferjason leigh is terrific as the fbi agent who sees this kid on the street and thinks, "we can use them." it takes a family who the film can be very tough on and actually makes the characters are very sympathetic.
6:26 am
you do see the world from their point of view. the dad says, we have to do something to get out of this. i thought it was very good. it's not for everybody, it will struggle to find an audience. best out at the moment? still, shoplifters. a prizewinner at cannes, a story about people living on the margins in tokyo. again, it begins with what you think is a father and a son teaching the son shoplifting. someone says, why do you teach him shoplifting? he says, it's what i know. it's what i do. it very, very human and i like it and it's spending time with characters you believe in. a film with a dark heart. for the record, i enjoyed disobedience, which you recommend it's great. 0verall, very good. again, a very difficult subject. often difficult to put on film. i thought rachel mcadams
6:27 am
was very convincing. i thought it was terrific as well. best dvd? mission impossible, fallout. who knew the mission impossible series was going to get better and better? six, seven. we think with this, it's not ironic. it's a proper nuts and bolt edge of your seat action thriller. it's got fantastically executed set pieces. what i really like about it is that it's a very modern but feels very physical. it feels oddly old—fashioned for all it's modern trappings. it moves at the speed of a bullet
6:28 am
and as a very good film. tom cruse is great in that role. he's not for everyone but he's really good in that role. he has seen this franchise from strength to strength. he has hurt himself badly doing all the stunts. in fact, the stunt in which he hurt himself is in the film. when you see it in the film, you feel the pain! you wince. mark, thank you very much good to have you with us again. a quick reminder before we go that you'll find more film news and reviews from across the bbc online at bbc.co.uk/markkermode. and you can find all our previous programmes on the bbc iplayer. that's it for this week. thank you so much for watching. goodbye from us. $:/startfeed. hello, this is breakfast with roger
6:29 am
johnson and victoria fritz. this is a story of the main stories from bbc news. police in new zealand searching for the missing british backpacker grace millane have found a body. the 22-year-old from essex was last seen in auckland over a week ago. a 26—year—old man is due to appear in court on monday charged with her murder. this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. an investigation will continue for some time yet. the focus now is to piece together exactly what happened to a young girl who came to new zealand. downing street insists that tuesday's ) vote will go ahead, rejecting suggestions that theresa may could delay it in order to avoid defeat —— brexit votes. the uk would be in uncharted waters if mps failed to back the bill. will quince has
6:30 am
resigned from his position, saying that he could not back the deal. the french government said that a heavy police presence curbed escalating violence during a fourth weekend of protests by the so—called yellow vest movement. nearly 1000 people we re vest movement. nearly 1000 people were arrested and more than 100 received hospital treatment during the demonstrations about rising living costs. president trump is looking for his third chief of staff after announcing thatjohn looking for his third chief of staff after announcing that john kelly looking for his third chief of staff after announcing thatjohn kelly is leaving the post at the end of this month. it is not clear why the former marine general is stepping down, but us media reports talk of growing disagreements with mr trump. general kelly has been in the role since the end ofjuly last year and becomes the 28th member of senior staff to have resigned or been fired during the trump administration. john kelly will be leaving. i don't know if i can say retiring. but he isa know if i can say retiring. but he is a great guy. john kelly will be leaving at the end of the year. we
6:31 am
will be announcing who will be taking john's place, it might be on an interim basis. i will be announcing that the next day or two. fax machines will be banned across the nhs under government plans to overhaul outdated technology. they will be phased out by april 2020, and a ban on buying the machines brought in from next month. the royal college of surgeons has said it is absurd that hospital trusts still own more than 8000 fax machines. now, are you feeling a little bored about brexit? you talk about it a lot, don't you? bored with brexit, rather than board of grexit. a grammatical correction from the minister who mentioned it a couple of weeks ago. you may have sympathy for this: bbc radio 5 last night who found it hard to stay awake during a phonein found it hard to stay awake during a phone in on the subject. joy in bournemouth has been waiting for ——
6:32 am
jolly. the poor thing. a lot of people will empathise. i think so. to be fair to the guy... they kept him waiting for half an hour. maybe it was nice and warm in there. fair enough. possibly not the only person put to sleep by this talk brexit. but it is unavoidable and we will talk about it quite a lot this morning. you go to all that effort to call—up at one o'clock in the morning and... that is brilliant. we have the sport. jurgen klopp, big smile on his face. you probably cannot see. it has a fantastic set of teeth. and he is really beaming. i think! fantastic set of teeth. and he is really beaming. i think i has had some work on those. do you reckon he has had them done? loads of reasons
6:33 am
to smile. he would show them of difficulty he thought he would be smiling for most of the season. how many people have already given the title to manchester city over the past few weeks saying they are brilliant and nobody can touch them? you look at the table this morning andl you look at the table this morning and i think people are going to think, hang on, there is a title race. gary lineker has tweeted to say the same. we think there is a title race on. liverpool are top of the table this morning. the only side unbeaten in the premier league. mozela scored a hat—trick in their 4-0 mozela scored a hat—trick in their 4—0 win at bournemouth. —— mohd salleh. tottenham have jumped back up salleh. tottenham have jumped back up to third. as adam todd reports, the title race is hotting up. manchester city beaten in the premier league for the first time this season. we could have one heck ofa this season. we could have one heck of a title race on. the premier league feels a rather different place this morning. the unbeaten finally beaten. chelsea be first to do what some had begun to think was
6:34 am
impossible. i am very happy with the win, because i think it is not very easy to win against manchester city, it is not easy to win. that feels something of an understatement. pep guardiola's sides had not been beaten in the league since april. chelsea ending that extraordinary sequence. chelsea ending that extraordinary sequence. they gave fresh hope that this title chase remains very much on. with that new hoque new leaders, liverpool are now top of the league after they and in particular mohd salleh ran rings around ballmer. they come for 4—0 victory. a victory. they are now the sides to catch. in arms reach if not quite in touching distance yet, spurs are back into third. a brilliant goal.
6:35 am
they kept up their pursuit with a win against leicester city. they remain aside putting pressure on the top two. there has not been too much cause for optimism at old trafford this season. but it marks the gloom and occasional whims of something brighter. ashley young showing the way against fulham. manchester united's because win of the season completed by marcus rashford. a changing fortunes of them, perhaps, but while the premier league me feel a different place this morning, before long we'll hope it changes even more. they remain bottom —— may feel. you can find details on the bbc sport website. one goal that wasn't in the report that, we thought we would pick it out for you, pretty spectacular. a couple of yards out, but still look at this fantastic technique. that was arsenal's1—0 victory over huddersfield. came late on in the 83rd minute will stop they are now
6:36 am
unbeaten for 21 games, the gunners, in all conditions this season. last minute. a lovely finish. remember last weekend that was —— there was that allegation of racism that is being investigated at the emirates where that match was, the metropolitan police and chelsea are investigating an incident of alleged racist abuse during that match between manchester city at stamford bridge and chelsea, mobile phone footage of this incident was widely shared during the game. it was also broadcast live. this was the teatime kick—off on television. a group of men in the home and hurled abuse at raheem sterling in the first half at sta mford raheem sterling in the first half at stamford bridge. he went to collect the ball in the corner. it is alleged that abuse was racist. no arrests have been made. the police say they are reviewing that footage now. chelsea say that they will take the strongest possible action where necessary and the antidiscrimination
6:37 am
charity kick it out say yet another great day football has been damaged by prejudice. so they are investigating that incident at sta mford investigating that incident at stamford bridge. staying with the football, kilmarnock are at the top of the scottish premiership. it was all too brief. celtic are they now after beating chile 5—1. —— deniau. rangers could move to the top this afternoon if they get a very big win at dundee later. they have got to win by four at dundee later. they have got to win byfourau at dundee later. they have got to win by four au summit like that. england and scotland have been drawn in the same group for next summer's and's world cup. the scots are in their first and's world cup. the scots are in theirfirst finals, and's world cup. the scots are in their first finals, they will be joined by argentina and japan. a tricky one for anyone in that one. —— women's world cup. that england— scotla nd —— women's world cup. that england— scotland match will be on the ninth ofjune in nice. i don't think this isa game
6:38 am
ofjune in nice. i don't think this is a game that we will need to build up. "it's a players know which other inside out. a lot of them play in the same clubs together —— a lot of the same clubs together —— a lot of the players. there is a dog of spirit about them. something good is happening in scottish women's football. i think when you look at the group you see three great games, three special games that all have a meaning to english football. i think thatis meaning to english football. i think that is why i am really excited. obviously our first time at the world cup. yeah, of course you draw england in the first game. sol world cup. yeah, of course you draw england in the first game. so i know everyone will talk about what happened in the euros, but what we have do focus on is the full group and not one opponent. we know it is going to be tough. but it is an exciting group as well. this has been called the final to end all finals. it will hopefully finally be played tonight. thousands of miles away to where it should have taken place in the first place. twice
6:39 am

6:44 am
beautiful valley. what i've been doing over the last year, a couple of years ago, i couldn't run off—road but now i run off—road all the time so should be used to that. i'm used to the mind. obviously from living in the north—west, that is good training. news the cold. selling and really, really cold rivers. and actually today, i thought it might be down to about seven degrees but it is a balmy 12 degrees. it will be one of those breathtaking moments. iwill degrees. it will be one of those breathtaking moments. i will have to calm down and think what i'm doing and get to the end. i know you well. there will be at the finish line? labour the berlin thing about this race, because it is an extreme triathlon, you have someone who supports you throughout the race. they me at different points, make
6:45 am

very good morning to you. with fewer showers around and a lot more sunshine, in the south, the cloud is moving from west to east. it's that flow from north to south which will ta ke flow from north to south which will take over through the day, introducing the cold and colder air. it will sweep away a good few of the showers. plenty across parts of wales, the midlands. some pushing into scotland, turning into snow. parts of central and southern scotla nd parts of central and southern scotland will be sheltered. plenty of sunshine. moving to mid wales as well through the afternoon. as the afternoon temperatures, it's going to get colder, 4— six degrees across much of scotland. lots of sunshine through central and southern scotland. those showers will be interspersed by sunny spells. a bit
6:47 am
ofa interspersed by sunny spells. a bit of a breeze around the coast but easing down after quite a wild night. we saw winds gusts 50, and feeling cold by the end of the day. showers in northern ireland, north—west england, it will give a slight ice risk is busy temperatures to the north and east of the country drop, if not below freezing, and clear of the foston are far south—west. turning the morning sunshine hazy. damin towards the north—west midlands. many of you will get through the morning drive. maybe also to northern ireland. the chilly day across many eastern areas. it could get up to around 12 celsius in the milder will push throughout this week but it's going to bea throughout this week but it's going to be a battle against the cold air. it's going to be a very tough one. the milder wind towards the end of
6:48 am
the week. we will keep you updated. the headlines for you at seven but first, here is the travel show. we start this week in alabama, catching up with the american ellis family, and will and alex, their four—year old autistic twins. if you were watching last week you'll remember we left the family at the airport, about to board a plane for houston, texas. let's rejoin as the boys take their first ever flight. travelling for toddlers is difficult. and two toddlers can be really difficult. well, when you add non—verbal autistic, itjust makes it exponential. so it has taken a long time to come to the point where we were ready. will has noise—cancelling headphones. he has strong sensory issues with hearing.
6:49 am
you can tell it's painful. we will probably have a meltdown or two. we might have some vomit. we know it might happen. but the flight from birmingham to houston is a relatively short flight, it's only two hours, and the boys do like car travel. 0k! now we're on the fast part. we're about to go fast. up into the air. are you ready? let's do it. whatever happens, just be ready for anything. just kind of be ready to roll with the punches. think about this fast plane. it is going to be a little bumpy. you are doing so good. things are going really well. 0ne boy is asleep and the other is almost asleep. so they're flying at nap time, it's a good time to fly. things are going really well.
6:50 am
0ne boy is asleep and the other is almost asleep. so they're flying at nap time, it's a good time to fly. we like the idea of getting into a trip and driving the rest of the way, to san antonio. we like the idea of getting into a trip and driving the rest of the way, to san antonio. it's about another two and a half hours. and then we'll go to the park. did you sleep? you did?
6:51 am
what did you think? is it time to go play? it is? time to get some clothes on. when they grab your hand and try to walk you out the front door, it's time to go. the worst part is over. the anxiety i was experiencing was mostly about the flight. woke up this morning ready to prepare for the park. then we'll hop in the car and go. he knows we're going somewhere fun. we're headed to morgan's wonderland, a theme park in san antonio, texas, for special needs children. lots of fun things for children of all cognitive levels of experience. where would you like to go first? you like it? my goodness!
6:52 am
yeah, yeah. alex is in his happy place because he loves trains so much. we will probably ride the train at least five times today. so, tell us a little bit about the park and how you came to build morgan's wonderland. actually, it occurred many years ago.
6:53 am
maggie, my wife, morgan and i were on a trip. and morgan wanted to go swimming. morgan and i jumped in and we were having fun, just splashing around in the water. and there were three other kids in the pool, two of them were throwing a ball back and forth. she wasn't able to verbally communicate, so what she did was, she hit the ball. they quickly grabbed the ball and got out of the pool, because it was not a normal way of saying, "i just want to play." and morgan, the look on her face was like, "dad, i don't understand, ijust want to play." and it bothered me because all i wanted was the opportunity for my daughter to be able to play. so where would we go if — i mean, we couldn't take her to a lot of parks because of certain circumstances of hers. and talking to others, we found the same situation. so how do we develop a place where those who have special needs and those who don't could all come together and play in a fully inclusive environment? and it was basically those discussions, those chitchat and meetings, they turned
6:54 am
into what we now have here today, morgan's wonderland. that is so amazing. and since then, people from all over the united states and literally all over the world make special trips to come here, in an environment that is just different to any other environment in the world. alex, look! you did it! i'm so proud of you. so, we ran into a mum here, we got to talking, we found that we both had autistic children. they said there is another place really close by that we ought to check out. so i think we're going to head on over now and check that out and see how our kids like it.
6:55 am
here we go. up! and off we go! i had a lot of fears, going into this trip, when you have a special needs child you predict their behaviour. you especially cannot predict it in public around other people. and it didn't happen. the whole idea was a great idea, to find places that were geared towards them and to kind of showcase it so that other families could know that these types of places are out there. this is the first opportunity we have had, we were able to go to a place with a completely understood us and we didn't have to explain anything. we could just be who we were,
6:56 am
and the twins could be who they were, and you don't have to worry. the travel show, your essential guide wherever you're heading. hello! i'm here in london to try out some gadgets that i think might make your stay in hotels that little bit more comfortable. all the devices i'm testing here are not because there's a problem with the hotel or its rooms. it's just a good opportunity for me to use them while i'm here. ok, so first up is the portable air purifier by the pure company, which essentially does what it says on the tin. at first glance it's not immediately obvious how this works, but let me show you. it doesn't seem to know exactly where it's mapping, but i'm quite impressed by its ability to not fall off the bed.
6:57 am
it has got about 18 sensors, so it makes sense. and interestingly, underneath covers, the uv lights at the top turned on, so it knows exactly when it is in an open space and when it is covered, so it is quite clever. this little robot will sanitise and disinfect the entire bed, using uvc light. a king—size bed takes two minutes. you can also put into hand—held motor sanitise object like light switches, pillows, the tv remote, but for me, i'm going for the toilet. at full price, the cleansebot costs £199, but currently there is an earlybird dealfor £76. so while it is cool putting a little sanitising robot to work, there is no way of actually telling if it's working not, and of course uvc is known to be extremely effective when it comes to killing bacteria, which explains why the company says this robot kills 99.9% of anything lurking in your room. sometimes when you are away from your home comforts now, if you are somebody that needs silence to go to sleep,
6:58 am
these might come in handy. these are bose's quality ear plugs. these are noise masking sleep plugs. they come in three different sizes and have their own charging case. not cheap, at £239 for a pair. fully charged, they last for hours and there is a partner app available with a library of background noises to play. so, that was the snore test, as you probably guessed. i'm disappointed to report that this failed. that is because they are noise masking and not noise cancelling. they did, however, pass the neighbour test. pretty good at getting the other ambient noises. should you purchase a pair? well, if you like to completely sleep in silence, given all that noise, maybe a cheap pair of earplugs is your best bet. but if you like to blast a bit of peaceful and tranquil music into your ears before you go to sleep, maybe a bit of white noise, these are comfy and were pretty much guaranteed good morning.
6:59 am
welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and victoria fritz. 0ur headlines today: police investigating the murder of british backpacker grace millane in new zealand say they've found a body. this brings the search for grace to an end. it is an unbearable time for the millane family and our hearts go out to them. theresa may warns the uk will be in uncharted waters if mps reject her brexit deal on tuesday, but another member of her government resigns. almost a thousand people are in custody after a fourth
