7:00 am
good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: where you live has a huge impact on how many gps are available to you, according to new research for the bbc. us president donald trump is to meet the north korean leader, kimjong—un, by the end of next month to discuss the denuclearisation of the korean peninsular. a banksy artwork, which appeared on the side of a garage in port talbot, is sold to an essex art gallery for a six figure sum, but will stay in the town. an historic night for scottish rugby. edinburgh upset the french giants montpellier to reach the knockout phase of the champions cup, and in doing so, they help glasgow qualify. is no risk for many comes monday and
7:01 am
tuesday, i will have detail later. —— more. it's saturday the 19th of january. our top story: the bbc has found a postcode lottery in gp care which means doctors in some parts of england struggle with three times as many patients as those in other parts of the country. the royal college of gps says it's the result of years of underinvestment, as our health correspondent nick triggle reports. there are 3a,000 gps in england — around one for every 1700 patients — but these doctors are not evenly spread around the country. nhs england figures show that gps in some areas have to deal with three times as many patients as those in others. in rushcliffe in nottinghamshire, there are nearly 1200 patients for every gp, but in swale in kent, there are over 3300 patients for every gp. some variation is to be expected. an area with a high number of older patients and lots of young children is likely to need more doctors, but the royal college of gps said some areas
7:02 am
were struggling with shortages, describing the differences as shocking and a risk to patient care. for the areas that are really struggling the most, we need extra coverage right now. we can't wait for the doctors in training to come through the many years that it takes to train to be a gp. we've had enhanced training schemes, which are great and which are helping, but what we also need is to look much more widely at the problem. in the short term, are there other healthcare professionals that can help out and support the gps? nhs england says pharmacists, nurses, and other healthcare professionals are working alongside gps in primary care, and an extra £45 billion is being invested as part of the images‘s long—term plan. similar data is not available for scotland, wales and northern ireland, but gp recruitment is known
7:03 am
to be problematic across the uk. nick triggle, bbc news. donald trump and kim jong—un will meet for a second summit at the end of february to build on their historic first meeting in singapore lastjune. the white house said they would discuss the denuclearisation of the korean peninsular. 0ur correspondent barbara plett usher has the details. the white house said the summit would take place at the end of february, but it didn't say where, although vietnam seems to be at the top of the list occasions according to a series of multiple media reports. the announcement was made after series negotiationsthat has persisted , , , , sanctions is one of the main
7:04 am
issues of disagreement. the united states says that they should be lifted only after the north koreans have fully dismantled their nuclear weapons programme. kim jong—un says they should be lifted in phases, beginning now, and it seems that he wasn't getting anywhere with the emissaries the president was sending, so perhaps that is why he wants to speak to the man at the top himself. as for mr trump, he may also welcome the chance to have a major —— as for mr trump, he may also welcome the chance to have a made for television moment with the north korean leader the nhs has told the high street chemist superdrug it could do more to protect the mental health of customers who want injections to smooth skin or plump lips. the high street chain started offering botox and dermal fillers last year, but the nhs said the injections risked fuelling mental health disorders about appearance, and it was being left to pick up the pieces. superdrug said it was "fully committed" to the issue and was now enhancing mental health checks for customers. a leaking oil pipeline has exploded in central mexico,
7:05 am
killing at least 20 people and injuring dozens more. according to the state governor, local residents were scrambling to steal some of the leaking oil when they were engulfed in flames. he said 5a people had been taken to hospitals with burns. the cause of the leak is unclear. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has written to theresa may to explain why he's refused to attend cross—party brexit talks. he said her decision to rule out a customs union, a second referendum, or an extension to article 50, meant she was sticking to the deal that had already been rejected by mps. in a speech in london today, the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, will say it's up to parliament to end the deadlock over brexit. the cost of car insurance is going up for the first time in two years, according to a new report from the aa. it blames a number of factors, including uncertainty over brexit. andy moore reports. the aa says the price of car insurance has been generally falling for the last two years,
7:06 am
but figures for the last quarter show an increase for the first time since 2017. an annual comprehensive car insurance for someone who shops around stands at £610 — that's a 2.7% increase on the previous quarter — but it's still 5.9% less than a year ago. younger drivers face an average premium of £1317. there are several reasons premiums are reported to have risen, they include a delay in a new law on claims for whiplash and a higher price of imported car parts, which push up the cost of any repair. the aa also blames a general concern about brexit, saying the market has had to battle with a fall in the value of sterling. the association of british insurers say car insurance remains extremely competitive, insisting the cost of most premiums is falling. andy moore, bbc news. the latest work by graffiti artist banksy,
7:07 am
which appeared on the side of a garage in port talbot in december, has been sold for a six—figure sum. it's wales‘s first banksy, and the new owner says it will stay put for at least two years. 0ur wales correspondent sian lloyd has been to find out more. it they're still it coming to see this banksy, even in the rain. —— since it first appeared on the side of a port talbot garage, more than 20,000 people have been to visit. but now, this work has been bought by an essex—based art dealer. i think this is a phenomenal picture by banksy. it sums up, in a — in one small area, so many things about social society. the image has attracted attention from people across the world, and made an impact on the local community. when i was a child, you had to bring your washing in on certain days because of all the pollution from the steel company — you'd get smuts all over your washing, so that really speaks to me.
7:08 am
i think it's brilliant to bring people in and also to get the people — the local people of port talbot talking about art. we're going to move it from here to protect it, take it into the middle of town, i'm going to bring up about half — four, five, six other banksy pieces tojoin it, so that it becomes a magnet for tourists to port talbot. the price that's been paid for it remains under wraps. sian lloyd, bbc news, port talbot. the. it is just the you want, it is going to be there. —— it is a seven a.m.. it is lovely that it is going to be there two years. helen is going to have the weather for us, it is very cold outside. she is going to bring us up—to—date with our perverse, let's talk about something recovered yesterday. it is in the
7:09 am
front pages. the duke of edinburgh's car crash has raised questions about whether he should still be driving at the age of 97. while there is no legal limit on driving ages in the uk, motorists have to renew their licence at least 90 days before reaching the age of 70, and then every three years after that. now, in november 2018, there were more than 5 million over 70s with full driving licences in britain. there were 11,2115 people involved in road traffic accidents where the driver was in that age group — a rate of two per 1,000 licence holders. but for britain's 2.8 million drivers aged 17 to 2a, the rate was nearly four times as high, at nine per 1,000 licence holders. joining us now is peter rodgers from the road safety charity iam roadsmart, and doreen robinson, who is still driving at the age of 86. i hope you do not mind seeing your
7:10 am
age is that 0k? i hope you do not mind seeing your age is that ok? i am not ashamed of it. no, just trying to be courteous. you're very welcome morning, it you at 86 and still driving. you're very welcome morning, it you at 86 and still drivinglj you're very welcome morning, it you at 86 and still driving. i am still driving. and you are feeling confident and competent, and how you feel about your driving now?|j confident and competent, and how you feel about your driving now? i feel lam feel about your driving now? i feel iam0k feel about your driving now? i feel i am ok because over the years, i have ta ken every i am ok because over the years, i have taken every opportunity to be tested or have an assessment, and i have recently done some research for a company, whereby they tested my driving and they came out 100%. so i'm quite pleased about that. what is that test involved? it involves putting a machine in the car. and for three months, every putting a machine in the car. and forthree months, every time i putting a machine in the car. and for three months, every time i get in that car, im plotted. there is maps, andl in that car, im plotted. there is maps, and i go on the internet and i can, i can code in and see what i have been doing. —— i can, i can code in and see what i have been doing. —— lam. and there is this big picture of my car going
7:11 am
down the roads and telling me not to, whether i braked hard, whetherl am going over the speed limit, anything like that, where i have been unsafe, and they give you a waiting perday. every day, they give you a rating and at the end of the week, i got 100%. you a rating and at the end of the week, igot100%. in you a rating and at the end of the week, i got 100%. in one week, i got 99% and you know what it was? a car park in front of my house, they then had part and i was in, out, in, out, trying to get out and all these little green lines, i thought what the heck was i doing? and that was it. but they said i was safe on the road doing what i do, i do not go on motorways. this is the trick, this is what is interesting. we'll find out exactly where you drive in a moment that when we look at research
7:12 am
showing who is a safer driver, i think it is quite common for people to save older people, they should not be on the roads, they are too tentative, they are dangerous. but actually, when you look at the statistics, it is the younger drivers, when they first get their licences, that are more at risk because they are going on roads that they are not familiar with and they do not find almost know their limits. there are whole set of reasons that go on in the background as to why it might be like that your statistics are you had earlier ban on. the over 70s, surprisingly, are the safest age—group on our roads and that really does take people aback when he pointed out to them. there are all sorts of reasons in the background for that, some of you have just been listening to. but the practicality of it is the concentrate, as this knee—jerk reaction there is an old person involved, automatically a must to because they are old. commonsense, of course, tells us that age has effects, but the reality is the
7:13 am
statistics are telling us that in general, as people age, they manage how they operate and doing just that she does not drive on the motorway because she does not need to and thatis because she does not need to and that is a nice example actually of how most people are responsible and sensible. —— she just how most people are responsible and sensible. —— shejust said. how most people are responsible and sensible. -- shejust said. now, a couple of thoughts spring to mind a new reference this a couple of minutes ago. —— referenced this. do you think it is unfair because of what happened to the duke of edinburgh in those circumstances, people asking these questions? the other one is here listen to? as and when the time comes, one the things that clearly is hugely important is someone, that clearly is hugely important is someone, somewhere, with an older person says, someone you someone, somewhere, with an older person says, someone you trust, says hattie thought about whether you should be driving? i know we're not at point yet but it is important to have people who are prepared to have that conversation and you would be
7:14 am
prepared to listen? yes, of course i would be prepared to listen, yes. i mean they are thinking about me, but then, i... i mean they are thinking about me, but then, i... la mean they are thinking about me, but then, i... i a watch my own driving. imight be then, i... i a watch my own driving. i might be not the typical driver thatjust keep i might be not the typical driver that just keep striving. i might be not the typical driver thatjust keep striving. i make sure thatjust keep striving. i make sure that i am safe i doing things to test myself ought to have myself tested. but i do think the question should be i asked. because sometimes it is all changed, it can be sensitive. people value their independence usually anne twomey, the first person to say you know what, mum, dad, ground or grandpa, that could be a really hard conversation. —— to say to me. that could be a really hard conversation. -- to say to me. it could, it could, but if they want me not to continue to carry on driving, they had to say to me and i will say there is nothing wrong, and i will prove it. what are the things that interest me as there is a moral
7:15 am
responsibility. saver with someone and they have had too much to drink, you have a moral responsibility to ta ke you have a moral responsibility to take their keys from the men say you are not safe on the road. but as charlie said, it is a very awkward conversation had with someone who values the independent, needs a car to get around, particularly if you are ina to get around, particularly if you are in a rural area and are used to getting to the shops and whatever, to then say i do not think it is safe, what is the responsibility of family members in that sense? there is a moral responsibility on the driver, the individual, to know that they are getting to be less capable and have that understanding of their own ability as well. it is not all entirely about somebody else needing to deal with it. we need to be responsible about ourselves as well. you are quite right, there is a responsibility on people's relatives and in some cases friends. we have built a society that is reliant on personal mobility. in manchester or london or birmingham it is probably relatively easy to get around by public transport systems. and if you've got to have
7:16 am
that kind of conversation with a loved one or a relative, think about it for you do it. what are the alternatives? do a bit of research around how your mum and dad, your aunt and uncle, whoever it may be, is actually going to be able to get around. because that is a very real and practical and actually very important issue to them. it is very important, much more than it might be if you think so is a 40—year—old, because it is so integral to them as an individual. will you be going up anywhere today? just let me say, those are the magic words, public transport. how do we get there? they are taking the buses off us. how we going to get there? is that directly affecting you? going to get there? is that directly affecting you ? without going to get there? is that directly affecting you? without your car is that something that would be a real problem? well, they have taken one of our bosses off. —— buses. if there is no car i will not be able to go that way any more on the bus. i will have to do this, you know? go
7:17 am
all the way around. so that is a big problem. we want wheels, weather it isa problem. we want wheels, weather it is a tool four, you know? and people will cling to their car if there isn't a bus. absolutely. it does make a difference. do you have any plans for today? no, it is a day off today. lucky you. thank you to coming in. lovely to see you both. and peter, we will be talking to you later as well, with another driver. so if you have any more thoughts, commons for peter... could i have a la st commons for peter... could i have a last word? it is a an old lady. quite right. in 1992 i wrote to the evening news about women drivers being nervous, as they got older. and i suggested there should be some way that we could do something about it, and there was a safety organisation similar to be iam and they were doing it at the time. so
7:18 am
things can be done. i was thinking about it in 1982, getting your driving sorted. still having those conversations now. it is good to see you this morning. thank you. let's talk to helen. it is 7:18am. looking at that picture behind you, i would imagine it is fair to say that some of the driving conditions of the two days last night as well, we need to bea days last night as well, we need to be a bit careful? absolutely, especially in this cold weather. this was taken early this morning in north yorkshire. these no risk is darting to peter out now, which is the good news, if you are travelling today. — — which is the good news, if you are travelling today. —— the snow risk. but the temperatures a silk is to freezing, and there is always going to be that with things could be slippery. —— temperatures are close to freezing. the blue on this chart is the rain, the white is the snow. we have had a smattering further south, but no more, it is not really
7:19 am
certain —— south, but no more, it is not really certain — — settling. south, but no more, it is not really certain —— settling. most of the rain is further west. as naga said, there is cold air with us, and it is staying with us. next week these no risk increases to magically. so for the rest of this morning we have got beautiful sunshine to enjoy across the beautiful sunshine to enjoy across j‘ii there is an ice riskier and a fog was, not so mash but certainly tomorrow 3 morning. 3 mornin-. §——74 fo- ———......,,,., ——— 3 morning. hill fog elsewhere. poor visibility. these no starting to peter out across the north yorkshire moors. light and patchy. these are the heavy showers. they are up the western side of the country running into northern ireland. into the afternoon those will tend to peter out, so we are likely to see sunshine coming through. when these come along they could be heavy with hail, thunder and lightning as well. he we've got a slightly milder atlantic influence. for most of us,
7:20 am
given that it will be cloudier than yesterday, it will be disappointingly grey and cold. that continues through the night. more frost forecast a night ahead of this weather system in the north. it will turn bitter once again. some of that trust will affect rural parts of northern england and scotland. where we keepa northern england and scotland. where we keep a clear skies, for example in east anglia, temperatures will be close enough to freezing to give the risk of ice on sunday morning. again, apart from our weather front, which will be fizzling, and the remnants of the weather front along the south, just enough cloud going around. once this weather front with its also clears, scotland and northern ireland will do quite well. in between it could be disappointingly grey. cold air stays with us, and this is where it turns more interesting in terms of snow. told our packing in behind us. i wouldn't be surprised to see i go
7:21 am
told our packing in behind us. i wouldn't be surpr well, i see i go told our packing in behind us. i wou the be surp packing ffi behind. ! asi as i say. there is a cold air, as i say. there is a concern we could see disruptive snowfall, potentially, as we move into monday and tuesday. that is a long way off. cold and rather greater us this weekend but next week on the hopefully that will clear away and we will see some brighter skies coming through despite that cold weather staying with us. back to you, nag and charlie. —— naga. a couple who turned to ivf after years of trying for a baby have told of their surprise at finding out they were expecting triplets, two of whom had been conceived naturally. betty and her husband pawel had been trying to have children for seven years. fiona lamdin has been to meet the family. with one—month—old triplets, life or betty has dramatically changed. for yea rs, betty has dramatically changed. for years, she and her husband could not have children. after seven years of trying they were given one cycle of
7:22 am
ivf on the nhs. trying they were given one cycle of wp on the nhs. they put only one embryo because the doctor said we have 30 people for a pregnancy and thatis have 30 people for a pregnancy and that is the healthy weight. and they went in for a scan a few weeks later doctors can believe what they saw. the nurse turned to my husband and she asked if you would like to sit down. and she said, it is nothing like that, it has never happened in her career. she looked at me and she said, there are three inside. 15,000 babies are born in the uk every year, as a result of fertility treatment. but do have this combination of natural conception coupled with ivf, resulting in triplets, well, that is very rare. so, explained how the twins were there? well, you know, you are not allowed to have sex for days before the egg collection, but i don't think we listened to them. and that
7:23 am
is how the twins happened. after scans, doctors told betty they could see that matilda and borrowers were seven days ahead of their sister, amelia. my made a little bit of space. —— my husband made. amelia. my made a little bit of space. -- my husband made. now venturing out is quite some mission. they have even had to trim their fence so that the triple pram can get out. betty and her husband now sleep in shifts. but she says she has never been happier. you've gone from no children to three. how was it? wonderful. it is an amazing thing, do have a baby. that is what we wa nted thing, do have a baby. that is what we wanted to so long and we have even more than we were thinking of. it is going to be a divided nation, watching that. some with absolute horror about how little sleep they are getting, sleeping in shifts. life would change dramatically, that is for sure. 7:2lram now. you might remember that yesterday
7:24 am
we were showing you these amazing pictures of divers swimming with what is thought to be the largest great white shark in the world. known as ‘deep blue,‘ she is nearly six meters long and 50 years old. photographer kimberlyjeffries was one of those who got up close and personal, and shejoins us now from honolulu in hawaii. very good morning to you, i hope you can hear us very good morning to you, i hope you can hearus 0k. very good morning to you, i hope you can hear us 0k. you'd best take us through the tail. —— tale. you were told that there was a carcass, wasn't it, that was taken out to sea, and there was a lot of sea, so you went to have a look. pick up the story. yeah, we went to take a look and when we arrived we saw the life we we re and when we arrived we saw the life we were looking for, when we got into the water, the shark that we had expected was not the right
7:25 am
species at all and we actually saw a great white shark. we identified her as deep blue, which is actually... inaudible. on as deep blue, which is actually... inaudible. 0n subsequent days we found other great white sharks as well, which is huge for the community, and absolutely amazing experience. you are being fairly nonchalant experience. you are being fairly nonchala nt about this, experience. you are being fairly nonchalant about this, and being quite casual. we have seen the pictures of the enormous white shark that you took. you were very close to this enormous six metre long white shark. were you worried? what was going on in your head?” white shark. were you worried? what was going on in your head? i was a little worried, and you should a lwa ys little worried, and you should always expect a large wild animal.
7:26 am
if you have experience with large wild animals... inaudible. this opportunity was something i couldn't pass up. and when you sort that was available, there was really no sense in her coming to sydney as a food source. “— in her coming to sydney as a food source. —— when you saw what was available. as long as i stayed out of the way. it was a really amazing experience. kim, i am going to apologise, we are having a couple of bonds with the line, but i think we can hear you well enough, and i think people will be fascinated by you saying, so long as i kept my distance. upon the screen now we can see another diver who was right next to the shark. it appeared to be almost touching the shark. so, they clearly were not taking the same precautions you were? imean, i mean, everyone in is really close, but in the beginning, at least,
7:27 am
everybody was a trained professional. i would like to think we we re professional. i would like to think we were taking the necessary precautions, and i figured we were taking the necessary precautions, and ifigured that... inaudible. i actually can't see the pictures you are showing side and know which ones you are talking about. but, yeah, it has turned into about. but, yeah, it has turned into a bit ofa about. but, yeah, it has turned into a bit of a circus out of there. u nfortu nately a bit of a circus out of there. unfortunately the carcass... inaudible. for a moment unfortunately the carcass... inaudible. fora moment it unfortunately the carcass... inaudible. for a moment it was really amazing. it was an absolute honour to be able to document what happens, and it was absolutely incredible, this naturally vance —— event. inaudible. kimberley, we are going to leave it there, because our line to you is not very good. we thank you very much. stay safe is what i would say to you, in your line of work. thank you! what can i
7:28 am
say? that was timberlea jefferies. apologies for the line, it was almost like we were speaking to her at the bottom of the ocean. yes, but those pictures were fantastic. it is quite difficult to understand from that interview, but we can tell our viewers this. there was that big sharks, deep blue, six metres. what is also fascinating as they spotted two other great whites, and the pictures we saw was with the one that was eating, the two other great whites, they had never been tagged. so they have actually made a real contribution to the conservation observations as well. i suppose the point she was making, that was clear from what you heard, the point she was making was that the carcass is still out of there, which means lots of people will be drawn to it, as they were, originally. but they have done this work before and they know how to stay safe. the danger is you get people jumping in how to stay safe. the danger is you get peoplejumping in the how to stay safe. the danger is you get people jumping in the water who do not know when the appropriate time is, well, rather then than me, thatis time is, well, rather then than me, that is what i think. stay with us. headlines are coming up. see you
7:29 am
soon. coming up on breakfast this morning, when it came to finding footage for their music video, country stars dan and shay didn't have to look far — they used their own wedding videos! we'll speak to them ahead of their performance at next month's grammys, before the end of the programme. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. good morning. here's a summary of the main stories from bbc news. the bbc has found a postcode lottery in gp care — with doctors in some parts of england struggling with three times as many patients as those in other parts of the country. the royal college of gps says it's clear that some areas have a significant shortage of doctors. nhs bosses say the extra investment being made in the health service would relieve the pressures, but doctors's leaders described the findings as shocking. we know that patients are really struggling to get
7:30 am
appointments to see gps. it does vary across the country, and in many areas, patients tell us they can't see the doctors that they want to see, they cannot get an appointment at the time of their choosing, and most importantly, sometimes they can't get an appointment at all, and that is potentially very serious. south korea has welcomed the prospect of a second summit between president trump and the north korean leader, kimjong—un, saying it could be a turning point in the search for a lasting peace. there has been little progress on getting rid of nuclear weapons on the korean peninsula since the two men met in singapore last year. but us officials said diplomats from both sides had a productive meeting in washington yesterday. the nhs has told the high street chemist superdrug it could do more to protect the mental health of customers who want botox and dermalfillers. the high street chain started offering the procedures last year, but the nhs said the injections risked fuelling mental health disorders about appearance and it's being left to pick up the pieces. superdrug said it was "fully committed" to the issue and was now enhancing checks for customers. a leaking oil pipeline has exploded in central mexico, killing at least 20 people
7:31 am
and injuring dozens more. according to the state governor, local residents were scrambling to steal some of the leaking oil when they were engulfed in flames. he said 5a people had been taken to hospitals with burns. the cause of the leak is unclear. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has written to theresa may to explain why he has refused to attend cross—party brexit talks. he said her decision to rule out a customs union, a second referendum, or an extension to article 50 meant she was sticking to the deal that had already been rejected by mps. in a speech in london today, the shadow brexit secretary, sir keir starmer, will say it's up to parliament to end the deadlock over brexit. the cost of car insurance is going up for the first time in two years, according to a new report from the aa. the motoring organisation says there are several reasons why premiums have risen, including a delay in a new law or! claims fgr‘flhiplash ' " " ' parts, which pushes up the cost of any repair. it also blames uncertainty over brexit. ngoza the main stories. —— and those
7:32 am
are the main stories. the time now is 7:33 a.m.. what was that? is understandable at this time of the morning. i am still reeling from the sharp business, i think that is what was. that was incredible. you have dived for the sharks, haven't you? well, not quite that. as long as you do not get neared stores, but that was a different story altogether, great white, the great white ever. incredible. —— the biggest. great white, the great white ever. incredible. -- the biggest. it is a great day for scottish rugby, as you have both glasgow and edinburgh through for the first time to the knockout round of the rugby
7:33 am
champions cup. the scots and the irish boys lay down the pecking order and it is a real change. montpellier, one of the true giants of european rugby, arrived in edinburgh with a swagger, but their line up of big names, was brought down to earth by an form edinburgh team. they have now got their seventh—straight win in all competitions, thanks to this try from darcy e7 best is this. the falcons had led with just six minutes to go before bastien soury forced his way over in the dying minutes, to seal a 27—24 win. now when you'rejust 18, you're up against the one player who's dominated the game ever since you were born,
7:34 am
it get too much. that is probably what happened to the pay of ukraine lost in straight sets to serena williams there. she was thrashed 6—2 6—1. serena comforted her, saying, "you're gonna make it, don't cry." the 18—year—old wasn't even born when williams won the first of her 23 grand slam singles titles in 1999. next up for williams will be either world number one simona halep or her sister, venus. there is absolutely no shame in being 18 years old and being beaten by one of the best players in the world. ever. and being in awe of her and emotions taking over, it shows that she cares. absolutely, and i am all for show in tears in public. and
7:35 am
