9:15 am
not too bad a start to the year. beautiful start in parts of devon. aberdeenshire, lovely start. most of us aberdeenshire, lovely start. most of us have a cloudy, great picture. the high pressure staying with us so for this january. drifting further south, consequences into next week. allowing a weather front to push this weekend. a week weather front. cloud around this morning. the cloud may well thin and break but the
9:16 am
emphasis is with the cloudy story. milder further west. emphasis is with the cloudy story. milderfurther west. 7—9. a cool feel on exposed coasts. the weather front pushing in. showery outbreaks of rain into scotland and northern ireland but weakening substantially. with all the cloud, temperature in the yellows and greens. not likely to see a cold and frosty start but a cloudy, grey start for many. the weather front moves into the north of england. lighter conditions behind it. 7—9 in scotland, 7—11 further south. the deep area of low pressure moving out of iceland, drifting east, isobars squeezing together. the wind will swing to a
9:17 am
north—west colder area, some rain, some heavy for a time. just south 50-60 some heavy for a time. just south 50—60 mph and more in scotland. not a pleasant start to the working week. higher values of 8—10 on monday. quiet across much of england and wales. monday into tuesday and wednesday, north—west of the interesting because driving in colder area yet again. showers turning wintry into the far north over the next couple of days. colder air, taking its time arriving in england and wales. 7—9 on tuesday. again, chilly. but if we get more sunshine, i will take chilly and sunny any day. have you had an accident in the last
9:18 am
five years that wasn't your fault? it's notjust a question you hear during daytime tv ad breaks, but also when you apply for car insurance. and if you answer yes, you may see an increase in your premium. that's because the insurance industry says you're statistically more likely to claim in the future — even if the previous incident wasn't your fault. paul lewis from radio 4's moneybox programme can tell us more. explain for us. maybe you have had an accident, nothing to do with you, wasn't your fault, and yet dart a listener called ruth was driving on the motorway, m25, car across two lanes by a lorry. she claimed on her insurance, admiral her insurer told
9:19 am
her. she was shaken up. she still finds it difficult to drive on motorways. renewing her premium, her policy, the price went up on £300 per year to £776 per year. part of that we have learned is due to the fa ct that we have learned is due to the fact she had made a claim that was not her fault. the lorry driver admitted it, his insurer. but she still had the penalty as she sees it on the premium. why? why is that 0k? someone has hit you, you have done nothing wrong but your premium goes 7 nothing wrong but your premium goes up? what admiral say and the industry have said to us is what you mention in your introduction. statistically, in terms of claims, people who have had a crime even if it was not their fault are more likely to make another claim. ——
9:20 am
people who have had a claim. there we re people who have had a claim. there were delays with getting money from the insurer but admiral says her premium would more than double because she had claims that were not herfault in the because she had claims that were not her fault in the past. they say that isa her fault in the past. they say that is a statistical matter. you might driving more dangerous places than other people. that is used as she seesit other people. that is used as she sees it to punish her because she was hit by a lorry on the motorway. wise words, which wise words from paul lewis? you get to this question on the form when applying for insurance, be honest. if you are not, the insurance will probably be invalidated when you try to make a claim. that will put up your premium. the only advice is to go to an insurance broker, explained the situation to them, you can find one
9:21 am
from the british insurers association website. most of us go online, find the cheapest, that may not be in many cases the best thing to do. get specialist advice. but you have to admit to it. for most people, very unfair, have an accident that is completely not your fault but the insurance industry will wrap up your premium. the best premium roof and was just about double the £300 she paid. i have to say, admiral have said they made mistakes, they are having a formal investigation as to why her premium was quite a hack and they have given her £250 and a bunch of flowers. they are admitting some problem on their side but the principle stands. if you have had an accident that wasn't your for, your premium will rise. you're watching
9:22 am
breakfast from bbc news, time now for a look at the newspapers. margaret doyle, a financial analyst with deloitte is here to tell us what's caught her eye. andrew roberts in defence of cromwell. the man who saved england from tyranny. turning around a bust of oliver cromwell to face the wall, this man was accused. stephen pound has long said oliver cromwell was a tyra nt has long said oliver cromwell was a tyrant in fact. guilty of war crimes and religious persecution. interesting to say he is the man who saved england from tyranny because in ireland cromwell is known as a
9:23 am
tyrant, the sacking of wexford. i came yesterday from wexford. interesting to see. we are re—evaluating cecil rhodes and other historicalfigures. whether re—evaluating cecil rhodes and other historical figures. whether the statue should come down. huge controversy statue should come down. huge c0 ntrove rsy over statue should come down. huge controversy over oliver cromwell‘s legacy in ireland. cromwell himself said we should not kill any civilians but civilians were killed. cromwell did not stop it, did not punish the perpetrators. while i think people would say that was cromwell‘s intention, but his record on tyranny is... people have two attitudes. they might think, come on, get on with what is happening today or think, these things are important to come to conclusions about what people were and were not.
9:24 am
no question cromwell‘s legacy is a mixed one. to say this is a cheap political point about the ill treatment of catholic irishman... they may seem cruel and unjustified now. . . they may seem cruel and unjustified now... his record is not one... cromwell himself rules without parliament. he replaced one to crack and ruled as an autocrat himself. the year and now, the nhs. the problem with finances and whatever, this is a story about what do you do if someone is in the nhs system and isa if someone is in the nhs system and is a drinker or if someone is in the nhs system and isa drinker ora if someone is in the nhs system and is a drinker or a smoker. the new plan, to be unveiled next week, doctors are going to be asked to identify problem drinkers or smokers and they will be recommended to get treatment. i think this is a sensible move. we think of a
9:25 am
emergency rooms and trauma surgery, thatis emergency rooms and trauma surgery, that is the glamorous side of the nhs. you don't have tv programmes made about public health. but things like smoking, drinking, exercise, they are the things over the long term which cause huge amounts of illness, distress. and cost the nhs a lot of money. the head of public health england said, actually, this is what will help the nhs remain sustainable. we know the nhs costs more and more as people live longer. actually, if we do this, he said if we do this, it will prevent 50,000 admissions... if it works, it is a cheap way... i was looking for a number attached to it. this is what the shadow health spokesman has said, a carter alcohol, addiction
9:26 am
services, community smoking cessation services. you will need to put money on it, he said. and we should not pressure smokers to quit, especially if they are in hospital for non—smoking related reasons. we are all paying for the nhs so this isa are all paying for the nhs so this is a way of preventing the expensive and painful diseases. the point is, treating it beforehand might save money later on down the line? again, the financial times. talking about two cases. england is known as the divorce capital of the world. for the rich and for people with international lives. because people will get lucrative settlements? for those people with an access of money, the english courts have attended to award only 50—50 basis. often rewards for life. a
9:27 am
financially independent spouse, often the wife, the court will say, you, the breadwinner, has got to pay maintenance for the rest of your life. the assumption that the woman would not go out to work afterwards. this is talking about a couple of recent cases where the courts are saying, we are going to limit the number of years. this is not going to be an award for life. we will expect you to earn a living, written to the workforce. a shift in the traditional way in which english divorce settlements are made. to be financially weaker spouse, you are basically saying, get a job. will there be a change? try to change the law so there is a cap. in scotland and other european countries, there isa cap and other european countries, there is a cap on maintenance payments and how long they last. leaving the judiciary with the degree of
9:28 am
flexibility they have now. they have a lot in terms of, this is how we think it should be divided. the downside, couples go to court and end up fighting and it ends up being expensive, long, drawn—outand painful. our time is up. do you still use your landline? yes! i do use it. rarely, of course. broadband often use it. rarely, of course. broadband ofte n co m es use it. rarely, of course. broadband often comes with the landline so you buy the whole package together. it does surprise me how many people no longer have a landline. does surprise me how many people no longer have a landlinelj does surprise me how many people no longer have a landline. i don't. don't need it. maybe it is a sign of your youth, in fact. i will take that. is the number up for telephone landlines? we'll be discussing how new habits are ringing the changes for devices like these. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and tina daheley. coming up before ten, we'll get the weather with louise.

9:38 am
ancient game with a modern twist. take a magnetic chessboard with weighted pieces, sink it to the bottom of a swimming pool, and you have made the great mind game of chess an intense physical challenge as well. so the board is set, 1.2 metres down underwater. to work out what we are doing we have to go down with our goggles on. eaton's got the first move. off he goes. probably moving the pawn first — or maybe the knight. once he comes up i can pop down and find out. at first it might leave you scratching your head, as you try to work out what's going on below and ponder your next move.
9:39 am
it's extremely physical, both improving your breath, knowing how to exhale and get close to the board. your body tends to naturally float. that's very difficult to do. once you've played several long game is underwater it also gets cold so you do some around a warm—up your blood circulation. it is extremely physically taxing. oh, that is a terrible move. i panicked! he has got his bishop on the go down there. it's all out the window. the goggles are steaming up. i'm trying too think too quickly. i felt under pressure. that's the hardest thing, you've got limited time down there. i should have followed erica's lead, she uses weights to help stay under for what seemed like an extraordinary amount of time. on average, 55 seconds, one minute or two minute, independent of the move. sometimes the move it is right away
9:40 am
and sometimes you need think a little longer. the element of surprise could also be a tactic to leave your opponent breathless. the strategy changes dramatically. for example, sometimes you might actually come up with a tactical sequence and then decide to play really quickly, just to avoid giving your opponent time to catch their breath. maybe wearing a fish hat is the secret. it worked for the current world champion, who left all before him floundering. i am proud to be world champion at anything. what a great thing, diving chess world champion. it is completely bonkers, but first and foremost it's fun. back in my my match i'd lost key pieces and soon had nowhere to go. you have got me. checkmate. i tell you what, physically exhausting. i feel like i've swum about 20 lengths in about half—an—hour. i was like my king at the end of the game, exhausted and ready for a lie down. mike bushell, bbc news, in a pool in london. bizarre. how into star you in the
9:41 am
underwater chess malarkey? i'm intrigued. i don't know how good it would be of a spectator sport. don't be dismissive, there is a world champion in it! the headlines. police say they have arrested a man on suspicion of murder, after a passenger was stabbed to death on a train yesterday. five teenage girls die in a fire in poland after getting trapped in an escape room venue. it is the weekend, and louise can

tell us if it is a weekend for getting out and about. line good morning, yes, it is. a lot of dry weather. full of contradictions. a little milder across the country, but we have cold spots, and in devon, despite it being a beautiful start, temperatures are down to 6 degrees. another lovely picture from one of our weather watchers, from aberdeen. we still have high pressure, so it is still a house —— high—pressure story. it then is killed off when it bumps into the low—pressure. for the next few hours we keep cloud with us, and by the rest of the afternoon it stays dull. if we're going to see some breaks it will be east of the pennines, but generally it will be called across
9:43 am

it is the sound. —— a little bit of nostalgia. see how long it used to take? with more and more people using mobile phones, internet video, and smart speakers to make calls, landlines could soon become a distant memory. these are some of the devices that used to grace telephone tables across britain. but new research suggests that not only are many people no longer using them, some of us don't even know what an area code is. with us now is professor nigel linge from the university of salford. thank you for bringing these. you're welcome. some people will remember those, or still use them. they still work on a moderate landline. fewer and fewer people are using
9:46 am
landlines. fewer people are using landlines. fewer people are using landlines for telephone calls, but let's not forget that landline is essential for broadband because let's not forget that landline is essentialfor broadband because it is the broadband routers in the home connected to the landline which gives you internet access, so we may not be using a telephone like that, but we are putting broadband routers on the end of the landline, which gives as the internet. if you're like me, i have the connections for the internet, but i do not use the actual landline. there are about 1596 of uk homes like that. when we got landlines like that telephone there, you talked about area dialling codes. people didn't have a telephone. your house had a telephone. your house had a telephone and your house did not move around, so the location of the phone was reflected in the number.

people in manchester was 061, now it is 0161. when you got a mobile phone, that made it personal, and onceit phone, that made it personal, and once it is personal, it is with you, and you move around, so now the phone number does not have a location relevance, it is a personal releva nce, location relevance, it is a personal relevance, and that is a huge change in how we use technology. you have brought in some items. this is the early days mobile phone. that is the iconic brick phone. in 30 years we have gone from first—generation analog bricks like the one you're holding, a motorola, and later this year we launched the fifth generation of mobile phone technology, five generations in 3a yea rs. technology, five generations in 3a years. there is a curious kind of nostalgia about these things. if you

walked around using that, you would get more attention than some and getting a fancy one. imagine putting this in your handbag. the network on which this when operated close down a long time ago, and ironically, although most of us have more mobile phones than ever, there are more mobile phones than people, however that was designed for a purpose, and we're not using mobile phones for the purpose they were intended, making phone calls. the average use of a mobile phone has declined in terms of talking. people are using it for other things. internet searching, social media, and increasingly watching television and video. social media, and increasingly watching television and videolj social media, and increasingly watching television and video. i do not think it is extreme to see that a lot of young people are too scared to pick up the phone and speak to
9:49 am
people. in the research which came out with ofcom, they interviewed a lot of young people, and they said that if they need to talk or contact the company, if they offer an insta nt the company, if they offer an instant messaging option, i use that rather than speak to them. it is a fascinating observation on how youngsters use technology. let us go back to the 1980s, maureen lipman. hgppy happy birthday to you. happy birthday, dear grandma. # happy birthday to you. a voice like an angel.

congratulations on your exam results. but i failed. looking at these mobile phones, and this phone here, i'm going to state the obvious, this was here, and this went in front of your mouth, but they are much smaller now. part of your voice was played back into your ears, so your voice was played back into your ea rs, so you your voice was played back into your ears, so you did not shout. a lot of people shout on mobile phones and it has been suggested that because you do not get that feedback, you're compensating for that. a bit like wearing headphones, when you shout because you cannot get the natural feedback. that was done on those phones to stop you shouting. newscasters used to have telephones on their desk. i quite like that.

but maybe not on the cover. and you don't have to lift the handset any more. you just type numbers and press send. thank you for bringing along the props. now, we as the director, what are we going to do now? were going to talk about veganism. all this week we have been talking about vegans. it is the time of year people talk about what they eat, not necessarily going the full way to becoming a vegans, but thinking about it. with even high street bakeries catering for vegans, is it easier than ever to cut out meat and dairy? in the last of our series on meat free diets, breakfast'sjohn maguire has been shopping with two vegan chefs. so the big question, how easy,
9:52 am
how realistic is it to try and leave meat out of your diet, and become vegetarian or vegan? the answer — a lot easier than it was just a few years ago. boom, look at the ranges that are available. or should i say bosh. good morning to you. give us a couple of tips about shopping. we know it's easy. there are loads of vegan foods around the supermarket, from rice, to pasta. you're looking for milk and eggs and gelatin, avoiding them. taking the internet by storm with their advice on how to shop for and how to cook vegan food, henry and ian's youtube channel receives 26 million views a month. they have written the biggest—selling vegan cookbook ever. here we are in the kitchen, then, in your studio kitchen. fellas, what's cooking? we're going to make the big breakfast, which has got hash browns, mushrooms, tomatoes, but we're also going to give you a treat, which is our scrambled eggs, but it's vegan eggs.
9:53 am
and how do you make vegan scrambled eggs? we've developed a technique which uses two types of tofu, firm and silken. the silken gives it the smoothness of scrambled eggs, and the firm gives it the lumpiness, the texture. and there's one interesting ingredient. smell this. so what is it? this is black salt. it's a little bit sulphuric, it gives it that egginess. you're not using exotic or difficult to find things. it doesn't have to be expensive, it doesn't have to be difficult. nobody wants to go to a health food shop to get ingredient is not available in a supermarket. that looks great. eating with the eyes — a delicious vegan breakfast for you, made entirely from plants, but packed with flavour. desperate to try the scrambled egg.

let us know what you think. let me see. that is pretty good, isn't it? delicious. i think ithinki i think i believe him, i think he thought that was tasty. let's talk about this a bit more with geneticist dr giles yeo and comedian jessica fostekew, who've both tried vegan diets. jessica, first of all, what is your relationship with meat at the moment? i don't really eat it. that's quite simple. very occasionally in very extreme examples. earlier this year i met ashchev in newcastle who made things with parts of a pig that would otherwise have been thrown away by the butcher. —— i met a a chef. that was incredible, so it was the one insta nce was incredible, so it was the one instance this year. that was quite a

big leap! it would have to be very extreme circumstances now for me to eat meat. what extreme circumstances? well, like that. like an opportunity. are less moral example would be if i travelled somewhere in the world where i had never been before and would never go again under speciality involved as pa rt again under speciality involved as part of their culture was eating a specific thing, i would eat meat then. my journey was i did it for a month for a television programme to see if you could do it healthily, andl see if you could do it healthily, and i was a little afraid of it initially, but once i learned how to find the food and found that i didn't try to replace meat with something else, i cooked food that wasn't designed to have meat in it,
9:56 am
i found it was ok. john was doing scrambled egg, the vegans way. is that a problem trying to replace the meat? it can be a problem. the big supermarkets are trying to help that with people trying to do veganuary, so it is like pretend beef or pretend port, it looks similar, and we eat with our eyes and nose, not literally. but not necessarily healthier if you're eating processed vegan food. you can be a very unhealthy vegan, so it does not necessarily mean healthy.
9:57 am
unhealthy vegan, so it does not necessarily mean healthylj unhealthy vegan, so it does not necessarily mean healthy. i feel like i have to say, i had stomach issues my whole life, and within about three weeks of being com pletely about three weeks of being completely vegan at the start, when i was completely vegan, i felt amazing. that is a strong endorsement. did you find similar benefits? when i became vegan, at lunchtime, i have to cycle home after work, and because a lot of vegan takes longer to die i felt better, and i have therefore stuck to being vegan at lunchtime is. that is it for us. enjoy the rest of your saturday. —— a lot of vegan food ta kes saturday. —— a lot of vegan food takes longer to digester.
