tv   Breakfast  BBC News  January 13, 2019 6:00am-7:01am GMT

6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. our headlines today: "back me or risk a catastrophic betrayal of democracy," warns theresa may as downing street fears losing control of brexit altogether if mps reject her deal this week. tough questions for britain's big gambling firms as the bbc reveals significant flaws in the schemes meant to help people stop betting online. and catch us if you can. liverpool are back in the winning groove. mo salah's goal was the difference against brighton, and seven points is the difference once again at the top of the premier league. and singers dua lipa and anne marie lead the nominations at this year's brit awards. in weather, we begin today with temperatures well above levels where they should in the middle part of
6:01 am
they should in the middle part of the afternoon, but late in the afternoon it will turn fresher and stronger winds bring in sunny skies, and a few showers from the north. i will have all the details here on brea kfast. it's sunday the 13th of january. our top story: at the start of a momentous week at westminster, the prime minister has said a failure to deliver brexit would be "a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy." writing in the sunday express, the prime minister has pleaded with mps to back her deeply unpopular brexit deal in tuesday's crucial commons vote. unsurprisingly, many of the other sunday papers are dominated by reports of plots and splits around the brexit vote, with the sunday times reporting that downing street has uncovered a plot by mps to "seize control" of brexit if the vote is lost. well, here to unpack all of this is our political correspondent, susana mendonca. let's start with theresa may's warning to mps to back her deal or risk brexit altogether. will it be enough to increase support for her deal?
6:02 am
i think there will be some mps, certainly, who are looking at this and thinking, is there a danger brexit doesn't happen at all? i think this from the prime minister is really targeted at those mps, which is going to be a challenge to get enough mps onside. she is facing this enormous defeat. you get the sense that this article she has written is pretty desperate on the pa rt written is pretty desperate on the part of the prime minister, making that final plea, talking about how it would be catastrophic for democracy, and that they would lose the trust of the public and what have you. all of that is really directed at trying to get mps to think about whether ron at the public would want them to back this brexit deal. —— whether or not the public. certainly this is the kiwi for the prime minister. she was supposed to have is a vote before christmas, but she didn't. it now looks that she could lose it badly.
6:03 am
this piece by the prime minister is in the sunday express. in the sunday times, a story that suggest there is some scheming behind the scenes. it could have a massive effect on our parliamentary democracy, the way things work, the government might lose its ability to govern altogether. tell us about that? the government is talking about how it is extremely concerned, government advisers, about whether or not they lose control of the process of getting things debated in parliament and what have you. this all comes off the back of last week, we had the speaker of the house allowing mps to have a vote on an issue of the timetable. so the government is quite concerned about whether or not, you know, if the prime minister loses this vote on tuesday, do we end up in a situation where the backbenchers leads the way in having more of an influence over the parliamentary processes to do with brexit. it is not clear whether or not there are plots. certainly the people we have spoken to have said
6:04 am
they have not been plotting. at downing street is very worried about what happens after that vote on tuesday. —— but downing street. a man has been released on bail after being arrested in connection with incidents in westminster earlier this week. james goddard was detained by officers yesterday morning near st james‘s park tube station in westminster, on suspicion of a public order offence. last week a number of mps raised concerns about safety in westminster. the gambling commission has told the bbc it plans to close a loophole that allows problem gamblers to continue betting online, even after they've signed up to a self—exclusion scheme. bbc radio 5 live investigates found that gamblers were able to sign back into existing online accounts by making minor changes to their personal details. adrian goldberg joins us now. first of all, tell us what this scheme is supposed to do? this was set up last april by an independent charity funded by the bookmakers, called gamstop. there was lots of
6:05 am
criticism that the industry was not taking the issue of problem gamblers seriously enough. there is something like 2 million people who either have a gambling addiction or at risk of coming addicted. so they set up an industrywide scheme, that is the idea, where you can go online, put your name and details into a register, and thereafter, you will be unable to access any online gambling sites. but we went online, ironically with the son of a gambling addict, who i think you are going to be speaking to later, and the son of the addict was obviously very concerned about the impact of the gambling industry. simply by changing a very few details, maybe a letter here or a digit year in the name, he was able to go on, even though he had previously self excluded from online betting. he was able to go on and gamble tens of pounds. but you could bet thousands of pounds, via online casinos. now, gamstop, the company that runs this, is about 50,000 people have signed up is about 50,000 people have signed up already. so they would argue that
6:06 am
self exclusion is working. it is obviously reliant to a degree on the willpower of the individual concerned. but the gambling commission, the regulator, they say they are now going to demand stricter identity verification when you go online. we will be speaking both to gamstop, and you mentioned the father and son, they will be on break is a bit later. thank you. —— be on breakfast a bit later. you can hear more on 5 live investigates at 11 o'clock on bbc radio 5 live, and on the bbc sounds app. a man has been arrested following the death of an 11—year—old boy in a hit—and—run collision in greater manchester last night. a car was found abandoned a short distance from the scene in beswick. the 31—year—old suspect remains in police custody. concerns about britain's post—brexit agreements with switzerland and up to 70 other non—eu countries have been raised by the chairman of the commons international trade committee. last month, the international trade secretary, dr liam fox, announced that the uk had approved an interim trade deal with the swiss, but the snp mp angus macneil said greater clarity was needed. our business correspondent joe miller reports. being in the eu doesn'tjust allow
6:07 am
you to trade freely with 27 other member states. because over the yea rs, member states. because over the years, brussels has negotiated agreements with dozens of countries around the world, including south korea and mexico, and those agreements ring down tariffs, they reduce regulation, and affect heavily make it easier to move goods and services across borders. —— effectively make it easier. last year the international trade secretary, liam fox, told the bbc he hopes all a0 of those agreements will be rolled over after brexit. and that 70 countries had already agreed to do so in principle. last december, he told parliament of his first triumph. of course, we have now actually initialled the first of those major trade agreements, which is with switzerland. which is
6:08 am
responsible for almost one fifth of the total trade within those agreements. 0thers the total trade within those agreements. others will follow. but the snp mp angus macneil, who chairs the snp mp angus macneil, who chairs the international trade committee which oversees the fox's department, has written a letter to the secretary of state, in which he ex presses secretary of state, in which he expresses concern about details of this accord. he says there has not been sufficient information about it and even raises the prospect that the freedom of movement of people, which is currently a condition of the deal between the eu and switzerland, would have to be accepted via their uk. —— by the uk. the government spokesperson said the arrangement with switzerland replicates the existing one as far as possible, and we know that more details will be forthcoming. but if these 39 odd agreements are to pass through parliament in time for a possible no deal brexit, thatjust leaves the ii possible no deal brexit, thatjust
6:09 am
leaves the 11 weeks —— leaves 11 weeks to avoid disruption with many trade partners. more than 20 people have been killed and two are missing following the collapse of a roof at a coal mine in northern china. 87 people were working underground in the shaanxi province mine at the time of the accident on saturday. the search for the two trapped miners continues while 66 others have been airlifted to safety. an investigation is underway to establish the cause of the accident. the us secretary of state, mike pompeo, says he is optimistic that washington and turkey can agree on a way to protect america's kurdish allies in syria after its troops leave the country. mr pompeo was speaking in the united arab emirates during a middle east tour aimed at reassuring allies after president trump abruptly announced his decision to withdraw the us troops. five people have died in heavy snowstorms in the midwest of the united states. in the state of missouri, which was one of the hardest hit, around a foot and a half of snow fell and more than 800 road accidents were reported.
6:10 am
the nominations for this year's brit awards have been announced. out in front with four is anne marie, who first made her name by singing on clean bandit‘s number one single rockabye. the 27—year—old from essex is nominated for best female, best album, best single and best video, and there's a strong showing for women across the board. here's our entertainment correspondent colin paterson. # and it went like this... 2019 is turning into quite a yearfor # and it went like this... 2019 is turning into quite a year for the singapore high and 2002. anne—marie leads the way with four nominations at the brit awards. the 27—year—old from the sex is up for best single, best video, best female, as well as the big one, album of the year, for her debut, speak your mind. it is an especially strong year across the board for females. dua especially strong year across the board forfemales. dua lipa has double nominations for both best

6:12 am
in england have introduced a ban on begging, yet only 10 of 2aa fines issued have been paid. a new system that allows people to donate to the homeless via a contactless payment in the street is being piloted in peterborough to try and beggers. jo taylor reports. 28—year—old max says he has been homeless for two years, and has no choice but to back. he is standing metres away from a sign saying he is not allowed to bed. the amount of money he makes varies from day to day. how much? £7.90. it is notjust money people donate. while filming, a passerby gave him a jump around food. that looks warm. yeah, a big woolly jumper. food. that looks warm. yeah, a big woollyjumper. around the corner i need handy, not his real name, who says he is homeless. due to his circumstances, we have protected his identity. i got sacked in january because of the pressure of the job.
6:13 am
my because of the pressure of the job. my mental health went downhill. across england, 5a out of 302 councils told the bbc they have introduced a public spaces protection order prohibiting begging. but only 2aa fines have been issued over four begging. but only 2aa fines have been issued overfour years, and only ten of those have been paid. some spare change, please? home 0ffice advice is to only use the power of the genuine antisocial behaviour, and not target the vulnerable. peterborough council banned begging last year, but have not issued a single fine, as they wa nt to not issued a single fine, as they want to give those that beg the opportunity to get off the street first. now they are trying something new. a contactless donation point. you just put your card up to the screen and it will immediately take £3, which goes into a charitable donation. right. we want to make sure the money goes to the right place we can provide support to get them off the streets don't have to beg in the first place. the money goes into this and it will fund a
6:14 am
number of different initiatives. goes into this and it will fund a number of different initiativesm it actually going to work in stopping people holding their hands out? this is about making inroads. this will go on, but it is about to what extent. over three months, almost £1000 has been donated through the contactless point. that is helping to fund a new day centre which offers homeless people services. the main aim is to get people off the streets for good. there is more on that report on inside out east, tomorrow at 7.30pm on bbc one and then on the bbc iplayer. people are calling us on twitter asking if it is monday, no, it is not. it is sunday, don't worry. you can still do whatever you normally do on can still do whatever you normally doona can still do whatever you normally do on a sunday morning. good morning to you all. temperatures in the north of

6:18 am
and taking us through this week's cinema releases, we have — who else but mark kermode? what have you got for us this week, mark? very good week. we're in awards season now, obviously. so we have colette, an outstanding performance by keira knightley. we have stan and ollie, a film about laurel and hardy's 1950s tour of the uk. you've got to think about the opportunity... and the front runner, a political drama starring hugh jackman. all right, let's start off, then, with colette and keira knightley. you thought she was pretty good in it. i thought she was really, really good. it's a story of the author and performer. we meet her at the very, very beginning. she describes herself as a young country girl, and she falls in love with this very charismatic guy, who's a publishing entrepreneur, he calls himself willy, played by dominic west. that's a pen name under which he publishes books that are written by other people. he takes her to paris, introduces her to a new and exciting life, and he's doing extraordinarily well. except his expenses are enormous, as indeed are his infidelities. and he's running short of money, and he's got this stable of people
6:19 am
writing for him. he's the public face, he describes the name willy as a brand name. but he needs new writers, new inspiration, and he suddenly realises that the solution to his problems may be right in front of him. here's a clip. they never get a job on their own! i lend them my name, my reputation, i take all the risk and there's still no money! we need more output! you could get another writer. and to pay them with what? i'm not even making 1,000 this month, i've got 300 from the echo, 425 from the ladies' vamp novel, and just 250 from the music reviews. it doesn't even cover the outgoings. how can we spend much money? mortgage, matilde, restaurants! you always pick up the bill, willy, no matter how many people join us. it is expected of me. and the races? the casino? what do you want me to do, live like a monk or a peasant? no, i'm just saying we could economise. you — you could write! what? those claudine stories you told me, last year. my school stories? yes, that could be willy's next novel. try it, anyway, try now, start immediately, aim for four hours at a time.
6:20 am
the wolves are at the door! he howls. so, she starts to write under instruction from her husband to do so and the next thing is, she's written this claudine at school novel and it becomes a huge hit and the publishers are thrilled and it turns out it's a huge hit with young women readers. so she's told to write another one. but the thing is, nobody knows she's writing them, everyone thinks her husband is writing it. so it then becomes a story of somebody attempting to find their own voice, attempting to find their own place in the world. i really like this. it's directed by wash westmoreland, who was the co—director of still alice, which was a film that starred julianne moore about a woman effected by early—onset alzheimer's, which was very much about somebody finding their own identity and then losing it. this is about somebody having their identity taken from them and trying to reclaim it. what i liked about it, it's playful, it has a certain amount of grit,
6:21 am
but it's also glamorously told. it's very, very handsomely filmed. and a raft of really good performances. and at the centre of it, keira knightley and dominic west as this couple, one of whom has the real talent, the other of whom is vain and full of himself and absolutely certain he understands how the world works. do you know what it reminds me of, is the wife, with glenn close. it's the same story. it's very, very similar. and there's another film which came out not so long ago about mary shelley as well which had a similar theme. but the wife is a particularly interesting comparison, because glenn close is so good in that. and that's the story of a relationship in which there is the talent and there is the public face. this is about how much somebody can grasp their own future. and it's also about all those things that are important nowadays about celebrity, the idea of celebrity culture creating this kind of claudine mystique in which suddenly everyone is wearing these clothes, and there are all these accoutrements that are branded, and about how much you can own your public image. i thought it was a really good, and not least because of the performances. all right. stan and ollie, laurel and hardy
6:22 am
embarking on a tour of britain, trying to reignite their careers. so are you a laurel and hardy fan? not 100%. 0k, well, i think you can be a fan of stan and ollie without being a laurel and hardy fan. steve coogan and john c reilly. at the very beginning, we meet them originally at the height of their hollywood powers, when they are just making way out west. and they want more money from hal roach. cut to 16 years later, they are financially strapped, they end up in the uk doing a tour, which is nominally to launch a projected movie of a robin hood spoof. but actually, the tour is really about them trying to find audiences who are still interested in them. and also about them trying to re—find each other, because there's been a betrayal. one of them has made a film without the other one, and this is still sort of digging away. there a moment in the film in which it's described as two double acts for the price of one, because when they get to london, they are joined by their wives, played by nina arianda and shirley henderson, as ida and lucille, who are every bit as kind of chalk and cheese as stan and ollie.
6:23 am
and between them, they form this kind of — it's not a love triangle, it's more like a square. and it works really well, the performances are terrific. i mean, really great, they get the physicalityjust right, the voices are absolutely perfect. but what i really like about this is it's tender and melancholy. and it has a sort of bittersweet heart. so there are lots of laughs, and there are lots of moments in which things that you recognise from the movies bleed into real—life. there's a scene in which they are pulling a trunk up a set of stairs at a railway station and they drop the trunk, which obviously is a call—back to music box. and there's a moment when they're checking into a hotel and stan starts falling over the suitcases. so the intertwining of real life and fiction works really well. but the performances are just great. you really do believe that you are watching stan and ollie. 0k. and even if you don't like laurel and hardy... sounds good. i like steve coogan, so that's enough. 0k, front runner, the scandal of gary hart. do you remember this? i do, i'm old enough to remember. well, i'm old enough, but it didn't seem to me to make such a big impact.
6:24 am
it's set at the end of the ‘80s. gary hart looked at one point like he was going to be the next president. a very strong candidate. and he's played here by huthackman, and we meet him, he's charismatic, on the way up, and then a scandal starts to break. somebody rings a newspaper, the miami herald and says he's having an affair. the miami herald aren't entirely sure whether they should follow this up but then he makes a casual comment to a journalist, who asks about his private life. he said something along the lines of, "well, if you followed me around, you would find it was very boring". so they do, and the next thing is, they discover that actually, maybe there is something going on and they confront him about it. here's a clip. i can assure you, senator, this is relevant. yeah, it's just that we saw you leave and come back with this woman and we didn't see her. tom, you can't be serious. no—one is staying in my home. there's no need for that, all right? i am serious, sir. how long have you known this woman? what kind of question... what kind of question are these? is she a friend? i don't know why i would tell you that, tom. can you produce her to corroborate what you're saying? i don't have to produce anything.
6:25 am
this has gone on long enough. senator, we know you've made calls to this woman from kansas and new hampshire. i make calls every day, i don't know how i would remember. senator, i was at your announcement speech, you said... you said we must hold ourselves accountable... i know what i said. ..to the highest possible standards of integrity and ethics. then why are we standing here? why are we standing in an alley on a saturday night? i mean, don't you think you owe it to us to be forthcoming? 0we you?! you're denying what we've seen with our own eyes?! the only thing i deny is that somehow you have the right to ask me these things... so, it's basically it's about that tipping point, at least the film posits this is a tipping point when the press suddenly becomes more interested in private life instead of policies. and the film seems to suggest that actually this is the moment in which the intrusion of privacy really starts and from then on there are moments in which he says, "we are going to be followed around everywhere and everything is going to be investigated", unlike in the case of previous presidents who, you know, had known indiscretions but nobody seems to care. likejfk. absolutely, who is very specifically invoked in the film. it is an interesting idea.
6:26 am
i am interested in the idea of private and public life. firstly, the story itself doesn't ever land a sucker punch. it sort of meanders from one sort of fairly low—key confrontation to another. and the other thing is, we live in a world now in which, apparently, the pendulum has swung back the other way, in which it is possible to attain very high office, despite scandal swirling all over the place, and peoplejust going, "oh, well, we actually don't care anymore". so it's an odd time for this story to be told. i can't think who you're talking about. 0bviously, discretion is the better part of valour. but the fact of the matter is, it's almost as if the movie is saying this is the point where everything changed, and i'm not entirely sure that that's true. interesting, we've got vice coming up as well. yes, another american... and it's a good film. absolutely. a betterfilm, i think. best out? the favourite. have you seen it yet? i have, i loved it. i think that's really surprised me, i loved the favourite the performances are really great, i am really surprised by how
6:27 am
well it's done. because i remember when i first saw it, i've seen it a couple of times, now, i thought it's great, but it is edgy! i mean, you know, it's very in your face, there's an awful... but i think it works really well. it's set in the court of queen anne, and it's about a rivalry for her affections. it's really funny, but it's very acerbic. i wondered what it was kind of about in the end. i mean, i enjoyed it a lot, i loved it, but i kind of wondered what was the point of it. it's a personal... it's a story about international politics being defined by stuff that happens as bedroom farce. 0k. and it's great, and the performances are really, really good. they are, they are. it's very, very watchable indeed. best dvd? yeah, so cold war, this is the pawel pawlikowski movie. i reviewed this when it came out in cinemas and i absolutely loved it. it is in many critics best of the year list. it's a story about a love affair that sort of sweeps across i think 15 — 17 years. goes across political and personal boundaries, and it's inspired by the director's parents, although not based on their lives, it has to be said. but it reminded me,
6:28 am
and i say this with — you know, i know how significant this is. it reminded me of things like casablanca. that it's got that really sweeping, epic quality to it, despite the fact it's actually a fairly short film, it's 90—something minutes long. and it's really powerful, fabulous performances, looks absolutely beautiful, and again, a story that manages to intertwine the personal and the political. ‘cause obviously it's all about the iron curtain, and separation of state and separation of people across geographical and political boundaries. i loved it, ijust loved it, i thought it was terrific. have you seen it? i haven't. you must, you will absolutely love it. send me the dvd. i will. that is it for this week, though. thanks so much for watching, goodbye for now. hello, this is breakfast with rogerjohnson and louise minchin. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. a failure to deliver brexit would be
6:29 am
"a catastrophic and unforgivable breach of trust in our democracy." that's the warning from the prime minister. writing in the sunday express, she urges them to put political games aside and act in the national interest by backing her agreement. in a separate development, downing street has expressed alarm at the prospect of losing control of business in the commons, and so potentially of brexit itself, if, as expected, the prime minister is defeated in the crucial vote on tuesday. concerns have been raised over britain's post—brexit agreement with switzerland and other non—eu countries by the chair of a commons committee on trade. last month, the international trade secretary, dr liam fox, announced that the uk had approved an interim trade deal with the swiss, replicating the existing agreement between the eu and switzerland. but the snp mp, angus macneil, says it isn't clear whether that included free movement of people. a man has been released on bail after being arrested in connection
6:30 am
with incidents in westminster earlier this week. james goddard was detained by officers yesterday morning near st james's park tube station in westminster, on suspicion of a public order offence. last week a number of mps raised concerns about safety in westminster. the gambling commission has told the bbc it plans to close a loophole that allows problem gamblers to continue betting online even after they've signed up to a self—exclusion scheme. 5 live investigates has seen evidence that those who self—exclude can easily sign back in to accounts. gamstop says it has helped more than 50,000 people self—exclude but now the gambling commssion says it plans to ask betting firms to build in enhanced identity verification to prevent customers gambling using incorrect details to access their accounts. around 8a,000 people took part in the latest round of yellow vest protests across france on saturday, according to the interior ministry. the figure suggests a sharp rise on last week's estimate of 50,000 demonstrators.

brilliant performance, but he said, look, we are not the harlem globetrotters, you know? did he? he did say that. what a curious thing to say. well people go out there and expect them to entertain all the time with patfulls of goals. but he said, 1—0 was great. we worked hard, and that is what i wanted to see. liverpool are seven points clear again at the the top of the premier league it wasn't pretty at brighton as mo salah scored the only goal. manchester city will have to wait until tomorrow night against wolves to try and close the gap. arsenal have lost ground on the top four after they lost and chelsea won, and there have also been changes in the relegation zone. adam wild reports. in the march towards the title, it is often is important not to stumble as it is to always sparkle. understanding that takes the purity. something liverpool, it seems, found at brighton. —— takes maturity. most other down in the box, his penalty

the only goal of the game. little sparkle, but most crucially, perhaps, no stumble. sparkle, but most crucially, perhaps, no stumblelj sparkle, but most crucially, perhaps, no stumble. iwould sparkle, but most crucially, perhaps, no stumble. i would say that was the most mature performance we have played so far. it was just brilliant. because we were not brilliant. because we were not brilliant today, they are a much better side. we can improve, that is good, but we would be deserved winner. and that in an away game in the premier league is all you want. so, praise the liverpool's maturing the, but it was the youth that was getting everybody excited. declan rice is still a teenager. this is first goalfor his rice is still a teenager. this is first goal for his new club. it turned out to be the winner against arsenal. that means a lot! that mean so arsenal. that means a lot! that mean so much to the 19—year—old. arsenal. that means a lot! that mean so much to the 19-year-old. defeat for arsenal was good news to the chelsea, tightening their hold on fourth place. williams with a brilliant decisive goal in a 2—1 defeat of newcastle. they are now in the relegation places. burnley, though, have moved clear, having gone behind against fellow strugglers fulham, with two own
6:35 am
goals in three bizarre minutes, turning things around. it is another own goal! lightning striking twice in the lecture glue. fortunes can change quickly when your luck is out. huddersfield are eight points off saftey at the bottom after a goaless draw against cardiff. in 17th, watford came from a goal down to beat crystal palace. and southampton also won 2—1 at leicester, despite playing the entire second half with 10 men. there are two matches in the premier league today. everton face bournemouth today before tottenham play manchester united at wembley. it promises to be the biggest test so far for 0le gunnar solskjaer, united's caretaker manager, against notjust a form spurs side but also the manager who is one of those in the frame to take over at old trafford in the summer — not that mauricio pochettino is getting distracted by all the speculation. we know that we need the three
6:36 am
points to be in that race for the premier league and the race for the top floor, to finish at the end of the season. all of that happening around all the rumours, all the things that, you know, happening, thatis things that, you know, happening, that is going to happen because that is football. you need, you do your job, i need to do myjob, and we accept the business. of course. but my focus is to try to find a way to win the game. we are into the penultimate round of group matches in rugby union's european champions cup, and edinburgh are so close to a quarterfinal place after a historic victory away at toulon, the first scottish side to win at the stade mayol in the competition. they beat the three—time champions 28—17 and go into the final round as pool leaders. it's seven years since they last reached the last eight. ulster held off a fightback from racing 92 to close in on the quarters. they couldn't quite manage a bonus point but three tries against racing
6:37 am
was enough for them to take the win in belfast — jacob stockdale got two of them. he has now scored in all five of their european matches this season. 26—22 the final score. there were also wins for bath and scarlets although neither can make it out of their groups. this time tomorrow, the australian open will be underway, and andy murray will be warming up for what could be his final match before retiring. since that emotional admission that he's playing in constant pain following hip surgery, so many fellow players have paid tribute to his career. today we heard from the greatest on the men's tour. it hits us top guys hard, you know, because we know andy very well. we like him. he doesn't have many enemies, to be quite honest. he is a good guy and a hall of famer legend, everything you want, everything he wa nted everything you want, everything he wanted to win, everybody would substitute their career with his.
6:38 am
and he is a great guy. so, yeah, it isa and he is a great guy. so, yeah, it is a tough one, but one down the road, he can look back on that and be incredibly proud of everything he has achieved. european 1500m champion laura muir has begun her busy year by anchoring great britain to victory in the great stirling cross country mixed relay. the british team had built a handy lead for muir, and she went on to take the win. it's all part of a season in which muir hopes to win world championship gold. the team set it up great for me, i just had to be strong and finish on those last legs. very happy to continue their winning streak. the teams in genuine did great as well. a few people showing out from a high school and everywhere. it was fantastic. i love racing on home soil. a great option to be here today. british golfer charley hull says all her hard work is paying off. she's won the opening tournament on the european tour, the ladie's open in abu dhabi.
6:39 am
it's two years since her first and last title but she held the lead overnight and just held on for the victory. .a final round of 69 saw the 22 year old win by a single stroke there was a dramatic second race of the formula e season in morocco as the belgian jerome d'ambrosio took the win. he was helped by a collision involving teammates antonio felix de costa and britain's alexander sims, they had a bump with ten minutes remaining. that handed the lead to d'ambrosio, who's now top of the standings. japan's mikuru suzuki is the new women's world darts champion. she beat england's lorraine winstanley by three sets to nil at lakeside to take the title and i2 thousand pounds in winnings. she was unseeded and becomes the first asian player to win a world title in either the men's or women's game. and finally, let's just return to football, how about this
6:40 am
from the irish premiership? this is goalkeeper elliot morris scoring his first goal in 723 appearances for glentoran. a 70 yard free kick that institute keeper martin gallagher couldn't stop as they won 2—nil. what's not to love about a goalfrom a goalie? and have a look at that celebration too! you can see the other goalkeeper was wearing a baseball cap. i think he had the sun in his eyes. hitting the benefit of doubt. he enjoyed that. i think that is the furthest he has ever run. certainly in that match, anyway. we love a goalkeeping goal. so embarrassing. you could see the sun in his eyes. it is not what you are expecting, is it? well done. thanks, 0llie. how do you know the photographs you post on social media aren't being stolen? it's easy to copy images and set up a fake accounts online — its a phenomenon known as ‘catfishing'. despite not being a criminal offence, police forces are hearing more and more complaints. the bbc‘s jennifer meierhans,
6:41 am
a victim herself, investigates. i don't know. you feel dirty, in a sense. i didn't do anything to them, but i just felt like sense. i didn't do anything to them, but ijust felt like my privity had been, you know, taken away from me. —— privacy. been, you know, taken away from me. -- privacy. this woman found somebody pretending to be her on instagram. well, when i went on, to look and investigate for myself, i found that they had only followed all my male friends, and basically, they would just being flirty, do you wa nt to they would just being flirty, do you want to get to know me better, et cetera. and what made it worse was the fact that my instagram is private. so it has to be someone i know. i'm jennifer, a bbc journalist, and i had no idea what catfishing was until it happens to me. i had private messages in my facebook inbox from men who thought that they struck up a relationship with me in an adult chat rooms. it
6:42 am
turns out that someone was using my name and photos they had taken off my facebook. it is identity theft, in the same way that stealing your passport or driver licences. joe richards' friend spotted his photos on tinder, but under a different name and sexuality. it is an unusual shock. it was betraying the com pletely shock. it was betraying the completely differently to who i am. that is distressing. instagram and tinder removed the fake accounts. catfishing can be used in grooming, fraud and romance scams, but the act of pretending to be somebody else is not illegal. there is obviously the people are getting trapped and think they are speaking to somebody who is not that person. but also that is to have their images taken and used the catfishing purposes, and that is quite frightening, because a lot of the time you may not even know your photograph or details of your life are being used by somebody else. review of social media by the house of lords in 201a found that was
6:43 am
enough legislation to cover online crime. there is no specific law or legislation around catfishing, but there are other offences, such as fraud or deception, which may be invoked if you are pretending to be somebody else online. if we have specific legislation it can make our job easier to prove what is going on. this doctor is an expert on the psychology of catfishing. the reasons people might engage in catfishing are varied. they may create an online persona that is an idealised self, a better version of themselves. they make themselves prettier, cleverer, smarter. they do not necessarily see the face of the person that they might be engaging with and therefore they don't really feel that empathy, when they see they are upsetting somebody, hurting somebody. this year the government will release a white paper setting out new laws around internet crimes. but it is not known if catfishing is going to be one of them. so where does that leave people like me, who have already fallen victim. well, it is frightening for those individuals whose photos are stolen to know what
6:44 am
is being done to those photos, and this of course is leading to the anxiety problems. this can be quite severe in terms of traumatising the individual. i was really surprised, now that i think about it, that it is not a crime. i am really paranoid. i don't trust people the way i used to. it is completely different now. and actually, we will be talking about at a bit later. if you want to get in touch with us and tell us your thoughts, please do on facebook and twitter. make sure you find the right account with the right richer. very good point. —— right picture. do you have a blue tick? breakfast does. you can normally tell it is me because of the spelling mistakes i make. lets have a look at the weather. we wa nted lets have a look at the weather. we wanted to ask you how it was but now there is a caption that explains that this is southern germany. we have been talking about the norcross other parts of europe all week and
6:45 am
this will give you a sense of how much is falling. it is a good i metre, 1.5 metres worth of snow on top of the car. some areas have seen twice this amount. things will improve over the next few hours but some areas could see another metre's worth of snow. and that is because the weather fronts that have been affecting us through are pushing towards alpine region and dropping moisture in the form of snow. that shows the wii will sweep away some of the cloud was start the day with. incredibly milder there. temperatures are widely around 9, iid temperatures are widely around 9, 11d at the moment, especially pushing through scotland in the day, sunny conditions will push into northern ireland in northern england this morning after outbreaks of rain. still a few showers in the forecast that it had south and there will be patchy rain and drizzle come and go and that will continue this afternoon across southernmost counties. temperatures around 11 or

6:47 am
spells clouding over during the day and patches of northern ireland and scotland. best in the sunshine in the east but temperatures are well down on what we are seeing through the weekend to begin to tuesday and it will be much milderfor most the weekend to begin to tuesday and it will be much milder for most to begin with. a dry day for england and wales and northern ireland that could just be a bit of patchy drizzle and western coast and hills. wet weather to the north of scotland and that with a stronger breeze will eventually push its way southwards during the middle part of the week. asi during the middle part of the week. as i said it will introduce is back and do something a bit colder. forecast showing temptress into single figures but it should be good through the second half of the week. but not snow like an southern germany? nowhere near those levels of snow. thank you very much. now on breakfast, it's time for the travel show. my name's tony giles. i'm from england.
6:48 am
i'm totally blind and severely deaf in both ears and i'm travelling around the world trying to visit every country. we're in the old city! today he is heading into palestine. i'm now at the checkpoint betweenjerusalem and bethlehem. i've got to walk across the checkpoint and go past the dividing wall. railings... getting through the checkpoint is a little bit complicated. slightly more complicated than i thought, slightly more confusing. and then we'd just have to sort
6:49 am
of try and follow other people, and people sort of pushing me from one way to the other. have to get past this... looks like we're on the palestinian side, the palestinian territories. it's quite exhilarating. shouting as you come out of the tunnel into the sort of taxi area, and where the wall is, you can hear all the people talking and smell different food and coffee and stuff. that's quite lively, that's quite interesting. can you show me to a taxi? taxi cab. i'm looking for a taxi. where? church of the nativity. 0k.
6:50 am
maybe you want, i'll take you for photo at the wall, we stop and take photo. 0k, cool. 0k. you happy? yeah, always! how big is the wall? it's big, big, big, maybe... 20 metres? yes. it's far. tony... yeah? welcome to bethlehem. you're going to church? yes, the church of the nativity. all this way... yes, wall, wall. behind the wall, you have hotel banksy behind the wall, you have hotel. i'm feeling excited to be in bethlehem,
6:51 am
it's a new city, new town, new experiences. driving through bethlehem, along the wall, has sort of given me a brief sense of how long the wall could be. it certainly feels quite long travelling along it. in my mind, it would seem quite impressive. and i guess quite scary to a lot of people. here the church, tony. yes, this the church here. ijust called my host to let him know i'm still coming. adam, we're at the church. hello?! hello... ? adam? give me, i call him... hello? speaks arabic. i call him, he's coming,
6:52 am
one minute he coming here. thanks, mohammed. thank you. hi, tony. how are you? hi, adam. good to meet you. looking forward to seeing your place. yeah, my place. how many country you visit before? it's a website and you can find people on it, they have profiles, and they want to travel or they want to meet travellers, and that's how it works. now, come here, in the left. oh, this is home! nice. we've landed, thank you! shukran. i have had a wide range of couch experiences. i've slept on floors, i've slept on mattresses like this, i've slept on couches, and also i have couch surfed in africa where
6:53 am
the toilets outside, and it's a hole in the ground. i think it probably helps not seeing, i don't see the dirt or the danger or the holes and rocks, ijust get on with it. the main thing is you're meeting the people, the local hosts and they're sharing their food and their culture and their knowledge and whatever they can offer you. and hopefully you make friends at the end of it. you know for directions to go trains? ok, so can you give me directions? just a straight, not left, not right. so, just straight, yeah? yeah. and i wish you be happy and lucky in your life all right. thank you very much. shukran. bye—bye, good to meet you, adam. bye — bye. bye— bye. is this the entrance to the church?
6:54 am
you can go in straight now. 0k, thank you. i can roughly hear a voice, but it's a bit disconcerting, the echo. the echo splits the sound, so it takes away the direction. we'll get there, it can't be far. 0oh, ah! there is a big metal thing with studs which could be... yes, that's a gate! oh, yes! yes, oil, candles... it's got a waxy smell... hmm, yes, polish. finding the entrance
6:55 am
is like reaching my goal, it's like reaching my target, and everything else after this is a bonus. 0nce they've started singing, isuppose, louder, and i thought i've got to get closer to this, because there's going to be a lot of energy involved, and then i've got to try and get closer and closer, eventually using my cane and picking out the steps, then a guy helped me down. singing. realising that i was the only person to get close to hear that, feel that, makes me feel very privileged, very warm inside. i'm absolutely buzzing after that. energy is incredible!
6:56 am
that was cool, just to be here for that if nothing else. it was quite crowded going down those steps, and they're quite slippery, very deep. oh, my goodness! from the fire into the furnace. very hot in here, and i guess it's from candles and more people coming in. this is my hand, yeah? this is the place where jesus was born, here is the star where he was born. kneel down on your knees. kneel down... more, more, more, more, more, more, more... you can touch the place wherejesus was born. this is the star, it has ia...
6:57 am
it's a flower, or? no, it's a star. the star of david, yeah. marble? no, it's silver. oh, it's silver? this is marble. yeah, this is marble. the ground wherejesus was born is down here, you feel it, he was born here. so this is the grotto. yes, he was born here. 0k. about there? yeah, it's not ok like this, let me help you a little bit, it's like this, you can take a photo now... definitely an experience, a very humbling experience, to sort of be in a place where one might argue history occurred 2,000 years or so ago.
6:58 am
visiting the church, the smells, the sounds, that's what makes travelling, for me, special. singing in arabic. i travel by myself because it's my challenge, it's like climbing a mountain, you feel, oh, this is difficult, it's a struggle, and then you get to the top, and you're like, ahh, yeah, i've made it, this is magical. that's what it's all about. broadens my horizons. and makes me become, hopefully, a better person. this is bbc world news. our top stories: back me or risk a catastrophic trail
