tv Breakfast BBC News January 19, 2019 8:00am-9:00am GMT
8:00 am
good morning — welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today: a postcode lottery in gp care — new research reveals that where you live has a huge impact on how many doctors are available to patients. us president donald trump is to meet the north korean leader, kim jong—un, by the end of next month to discuss the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. 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. all too easy for serena. and after william's dominance left her 18—year—old opponent in tears, the at the australian open, there were words of comfort it will be a cold weekend for many of us, not a great deal of snow, but lively showers across the south and west this morning. the real snow risk for money comes monday into tuesday. more detail later. it's saturday the 19th of january.
8:01 am
our top story: the bbc has found a postcode lottery in gp care which means doctors in some parts of england are struggling 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 — about one for every 1700 patients — but these doctors are not evenly spread around the country. nhs england figures show that gps in some areas had to deal with three times as many patients as those in others. in rushcliffe in nottinghamshire, there are nearly 1,200 patients for every gp, but in swale in kent, there are over 3,300 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 are struggling with shortages,
8:02 am
describing the differences as shocking and a risk to patient care. for the areas that are really struggling the most, we need extra effort right now. we can't wait for the doctors in training to come through the many years of training that it takes to train to be a gp. we've had enhanced training schemes, which are great and which are helping, but we also need to look much more widely at the problem. in the short term, there are other health care professionals who can support and help out the gps. nhs england says 5,300 other health care professionals working alongside gps in primary care, and an extra £45 billion is being invested as part of the nhs‘s long—term plan. similar data is not available for scotland, wales and northern ireland, but gp recruitment is known 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,
8:03 am
to build on their historic first meeting in singapore lastjune. the white house said they would discuss the denuclearisation of the korean peninsula. our 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 of possible occasions according to multiple media reports. the announcement was made after series of meetings with the north korean envoy, kim yong—chol. beginning with the secretary of state mike pompeo and then moving onto the white house, where the president met for 90 minutes with mr kim, who is said to be carrying a personal message from the north korean leader, kim jong—un. so, they agreed to hold this summit, but there's no indication how that summit might break the deadlock in nuclear negotiations that has persisted since the two leaders last met in june. sanctions is nnw‘w 5 e; 3‘s?! 751,151 35:5— 7 7, ., lifted only after the north kgreansi weapons programme.
8:04 am
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 made for television moment with the north korean leader to distract from his troubles at home. the nhs has told the high street chemist superdrug it could do more to protect the mental health of customers who want botox and dermal fillers. 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 was 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 and injuring dozens more. according to the state governor, local residents were scrambling to steal some
8:05 am
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. 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, 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
8:06 am
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, which appeared on the side of a garage in port talbot in december, has been sold
8:07 am
for a six—figure sum. it's wales‘ 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. they're still 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. i think it's brilliant to bring people in and also to get the people — the local people of port talbot talking about art.
8:08 am
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. sport is coming up later. it's also pretty cold out there. all the details with helen, not later. superdrug has agreed to screen botox customers for mental health problems after doctors raised concerns that some may have body dysmorphic disorder. england's top medic — professor stephen powis — wrote to the company after the pharmacy chain announced it would be offering botox and dermal fillers on the high street. let's discuss this in more detail now with gary ross, who's a plastic surgeon,
8:09 am
and claire murdoch, the national mental health director for nhs england. what is the impact of superdrug offering these treatments? what is the impact on the nhs? we are primarily concerned about the impact on individuals and their health. we have also examples of treatments such as these that go horrifically wrong, in terms of what happens physically but it is harder to see what happens mentally. but we know there is an increase in girls and young women seeking help for anxiety, depression, body dysmorphic conditions, who are really suffering. in addition to that, yes, there is a financial impact. we know that these treatments are more and
8:10 am
more casually and readily available on the high street, and as tens of thousands more people have the treatments, we are picking up the pieces more and more often in the nhs, whether that is because infections have developed, or other complications or because it is driving a real anxiety and depression, particularly into our young, poor bombarded by idealised body images. and it simply is not good enough for us as a society, and the industry itself, to proliferate in this casual way, without really taking due regard to the harms that we've end, the nhs, pick—up. now say, we have in our long—term plan, backed by our chief executive, putting an additional £2.3 billion a year onto the table from 2023 to
8:11 am
treat mental ill health and mental illness, and much of that will be for young people, and much of that will be for young people experiencing untold pressures. with gary he was with us, you run a private plastic surgery clinic, you are under no obligation, as i understand, to give any mental health advice or help to somebody who walks in and says, "i want that done, please do it for me." you are under no obligation to give any help whatsoever in that area, is that right? it is voluntary. ithink whatsoever in that area, is that right? it is voluntary. i think we have to move towards being more mandatory. i think the other guest's comments are timely. we need to take this seriously, we need to screen people as a bare minimum. there are certain patients were it should be mandatory, especially young patients. and for those with previous illness. give us an
8:12 am
example, someone comes previous illness. give us an example, someone comes in to see you, they say, i want something done, let's say, about my nose or whatever, what do you do by way of making sure that they... adam milne terminologies. what is your reasoning, have you thought this three? what efforts do you go to? the nose is interesting because the other highest group of body dysmorphic patients, thought to be over 20%. you're looking for a full medical history. you're looking to find out whether there is anything within the screening that you doing clinic that will flag up any dysmorphic issues. what are the alarm bells? what are the things that you are looking for was much? you're looking for preoccupation with an imaginary defect, that is what dysmorphia is. the greatest difficulties being able to help these patients. you can suggest they
8:13 am
see a psychologist or psychiatrist, but will they actually go to see them? or but will they actually go to see them? 0rwill but will they actually go to see them? or will they go to another provider? let it had something to both of you. clare, you spoke about the risk of infections. you were talking about the quality of treatment. and when we were talking about what could perhaps happen in terms of impact to the nhs and duty of care. there is a growing number of care. there is a growing number of people, younger, perhaps, who wa nt of people, younger, perhaps, who want cosmetic treatment. and when a pharmaceutical chain like superd rug offers this, it threatens private practitioners like you, it also threatens, in many ways, clients for the nhs, as people are saying, i don't want to wait, i wanted now. surely a chain like superdrug is simply fulfilling that demand?” can't agree. i don't think anyone should have a surgical intervention need, firstly. secondly, we know that our young people, in
8:14 am
particular, are being bombarded on social media advertising and so on, to strive for this ideal that they can never attain. last year simon stephens wrote two, it was love island, there was an advert of a beautiful young woman that was basically saying, your life will be happier and better if you have breast in larchmont. happily, the advertising standards authority who i met when had the other would —— breast enlargement. we are driving mental ill health, dissatisfaction, into society. we don't want to be a nanny state, of course not, but really, good health, sensible principles about not having intervention she don't need. gary, can we pick up on a couple of things, have you had occasion for yu hao said to someone, "i'm not going to treat you because i don't think you are here for the right reasons." ? that happens with about 50% of
8:15 am
patients. you must know that they may well go somewhere else. someone whom it he won't ask that many questions. yes, and i think superdrug are questions. yes, and i think superd rug are actually questions. yes, and i think superdrug are actually addressing that. the worry is walking out of superdrug, having been through the questionnaire or whatever the screening questionnaire or whatever the screening process questionnaire or whatever the screening process will be, and just going round the corner to someone else. and you know that there will be someone. it is society that needs to change, advertising, social media, we need to look at that as well as simply looking at screening patients. haitians need to take responsibility themselves. superdrug has given us a statement. it says "we remain fully committed to recommending protections for mental health. we have met with the nhs to ensure we have the highest safety
8:16 am
standards and quality of patient care." thank you both. it's a subject that will get people talking. here's helen with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. some sunshine to be found, this is clacton. we do have a lot of cloud around. east anglia are sticking out ahead of the weather systems about some sunshine. but with this weather system it is predominantly cloudy. the sleet and snow we have seen predominantly cloudy. the sleet and snow we have seen overnight is petering out across the north of england and the midlands. but instead we have heavy rain coming across the south—west of england into the midlands, into wales, and they are affecting northern ireland. as we go through the day they will start to peter out for northern ireland. they will become fewer and farther between across parts of wales, southwest and southern
8:17 am
england. most of the sunshine will be across the north of scotland and we have had bitterly cold weather through the night, widespread hard frost. showers around further south in scotland. we have a lot of cloud still with us across parts of northern england, and lots of showers coming in. that activity could continue to be heavy, with some hail stones and thunder, but hopefully they will peter out through the day. the sunshine might materialise this afternoon across the rest of east anglia, as well as northern scotland, but for all of us, northern scotland, but for all of us, sunny or northern scotland, but for all of us, sunny or cloudy, it will be cold, with temperatures barely getting to average. 0vernight although temperatures will not drop dramatically because of the cloud, where we have clear skies in the north and the east, we will see hard frost. and it is is a temperatures
8:18 am
will get close to freezing. and it could be a little icy over high ground. sunday, high pressure starts to dominate rather than weak low—pressure. another weather front coming into the north west bringing some rain. some snow across the hills and mountains. it clears into the afternoon with brighter skies across scotland and northern ireland. more sunshine developing for easter and part of england ahead of it. and it will be drier than today. the drier day of the weekend, but still cold. then we have a more active weather front monday in to choose day, and as that comes into cold air that's when the snow risk increases, more of us will see that snow and for longer. that's the big?. cold air in place, and active weather front, it is exactly how much snow we see and where, but possible we could see snow in lower levels even in southern areas monday
8:19 am
night into tuesday. it looks cold, and there will be snow. thank you, helen. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. anand menon is here to tell us what's caught his eye. anand menon is with us, he's director of uk in a changing europe, a source for independent research on uk—eu relations. your organisation does what? we're a network of academics and we are funded to let people know what the research says. we are not allied to any side, we have to be impartial, we simply have to say, i have carried out research on, for example, the economics of brexit, and this is what i have found out. timely, with his newspaper review,
8:20 am
we will go through the issues that have been surrounding brexit this week. starting with theresa may and the cabinet. this is one of the fundamental issues shaping how brexit is not proceeding, which is that cabinet cannot agree on a way forward. we have some cabinet ministers being relaxed about the possibility of leaving with no deal, other ministers saying, actually it will be really bad, we should not have no deal. cabinet cannot agree amongst themselves which is one of the reasons we have this gridlock. and all sorts of rumours flying around the people will resign as more votes, and parliament. people working on fact checking. it never was ok for working on fact checking. it never was 0kfora working on fact checking. it never was ok for a politician to stand up and tell an untruth. but we scrutinise things in a way we haven't before. 0r scrutinise things in a way we haven't before. or as johnson, scrutinise things in a way we haven't before. 0r asjohnson, took some questions yesterday, at thejcb factory, some people saying that he
8:21 am
was saying, effectively, i could be prime minister. but he went through some details. yes, he denied having raised fears about turkey during the referendum campaign, which was slightly unwise because you can go to the public record and see that during the campaign he himself and others in the campaign extra silly raised fears of turkeyjoining the eu. and millions of turkish people coming over. there was one particularly egregious incident in the campaign when peni mordant went on andrew marr and said that britain would not have a veto on turkey joining the eu, and all member states have a veto on a large wood. —— enlargement. states have a veto on a large wood. -- enlargement. it seems extraordinary that we have the public record that they still do that and think they can get away with that. borisjohnson, it happens to be this time, will be 20 of other
8:22 am
exa m ples to be this time, will be 20 of other examples from all sides. the obvious examples from all sides. the obvious example is donald trump. at the moment it seems that whoever shouts loudest gets listened to. whether what they say is true is a secondary concern. it has become personal. this was inevitable. borisjohnson says he is not being personal and he respects theresa may and what she has done so far, when he says, "go back to brussels and get the new deal without the controversial and mean it this time. ” backstop, and mean it this time." what does that mean? what a lot of brexits are saying is that if only we had someone with more spine doing this negotiation we would have a better outcome. the fact i think is that the eu has committed itself publicly to this backstop. that is there in the event that nothing else works to prevent the border in northern ireland, jabber backstop to ensure that they will not be a hard border. i think the eu has dug
8:23 am
itself into a whole... can you expand the backstop? it is a way of saying, in the event we do not sign a trade deal or a deal that allows trades to free smoothly, there will be special provisions for northern ireland which mean that there will not be the need for a border between northern ireland and the republic of ireland, because people worry that if there is that sort of border we might seea if there is that sort of border we might see a return to the troubles. i think the eu is so committed to the idea of a backstop there is little prospect that would sign up ona little prospect that would sign up on a deal that is not included. all broadcasters, and the papers, are all guilty of this to a degree, where you say, here is an easy explainer, and then it says, there are eight ways this can go, and you can feel people going, "really? !" that's not a reason to stop trying, but you can't avoid the fact is completed. —— complicated.
8:24 am
ultimately what you have to say about brexit at the moment is, here area about brexit at the moment is, here are a range of outcomes. we might lead with a deal, with no deal, we might have a referendum, the might of the general election. none of them are particularly likely, but one of them will happen, and we don't know which one.” one of them will happen, and we don't know which one. i have noticed a lot of newspapers the flow charts. it is much like a choose your own adventure, remember those? if it is much like a choose your own adventure, rememberthose? if this happens, that could happen, this happens... it is the only way, and this has to be constantly updated. the frightening thing is that so many others flow charts around in circles, that is what it feels like. you have hit the nail on the head. we will talk again an hour, thank you. thousands of older couples on low incomes will be significantly worse off when a major change in benefit rules begins in may. it's because they'll only be able to claim pension credit when the youngest of them reaches state retirement age instead of the oldest — which is what happens at the moment. paul lewis from radio 4's
8:25 am
money box has been looking into this and joins us now. 0n the face of it, this sounds rather bizarre. yes, as you said, pension credit is paid to low—income pensioners. it tops up the income of a couple to £2118 per week. if their income is below that, they get that extra top—up. the average paid to a couple who is 65, were the older 165, is nearly £100 a week. in future, that person of 65, who has a 62—year—old partner, will no longer be able to claim that, because it will be the age of the younger partner that counts. the dwp will not give me figures, but are content as in more people every year will not be able to claim pension credit could claim it in the past. i must stress for all those listening, if you are already getting it on me the
8:26 am
14th, you are already getting it on me the 1ath, it you are already getting it on me the 14th, it will you are already getting it on me the 1ath, it will not affect you. you are already getting it on me the 14th, it will not affect you. what's the justification behind this, 14th, it will not affect you. what's thejustification behind this, other than saving money? moral justification? it certainly will save money, and the dwp, and ministers, say that it restores fairness, that's the phrase they use, by ensuring only people of pension age can access pension age benefits. you have a couple where one is 66 and 162, 62 is now working age because the state pension age is just over 65. they say that 62—year—old should go out to work and support their partner. so we're not there to give them these high benefits that pensioners get. and don't forget the working age people get benefits that are less than half the amount given to pensioners, well under half. that is the benefit they might be able to claim, but in fact most of them won't because one of them is getting state pension. the
8:27 am
idea is if you are under state pension age you should be working or looking for work, and not relying any benefit which is paid to pensioners because you are not both pensioners because you are not both pensioners forced that's the explanation. there was a time when you thought that being married was actually beneficial in terms of tax and benefits, and thomas mixes big, why not get divorced if you are that age? then you are not a couple and you can have the pension. you would have to live apart as well first of a view shared the same property they would be suspicions. and the ta keaway would be suspicions. and the takeaway advice is, if you are already over pension age, and forming a romantic relationship with someone forming a romantic relationship with someone who is under pension age, get on with it, move in together, because if you do that before may 15, you will be able to claim this benefit. if you are on a low—income, of that is to this effect. so consider that deadline of may the
8:28 am
14th as the time you should move in together and make that couple's claim, because after that you won't be able until the younger person reaches pension age, which will be 66 or 67. the dwp response says "it restores fairness by ensuring only people of pension age can access pension age benefits." exactly, and it says the change was voted on by parliament in 2012, which it was. they are only now bringing it in because they feel this is the appropriate time when universal credit is therefore people. very few of these people will be able to claim universal credit because they will have a state pension income between them that will be too much. it is affecting lower income people, as you said. you can get more on this story on radio 4's money box at midday today. yes, we will have a top benefits expert and comments from people who have already been contacted me about
8:29 am
it, who may just have already been contacted me about it, who mayjust escape it. you're watching breakfast, coming up before the end of the programme. after the duke of edinburgh's car crash at the age of 97, we'll be asking if it's time to introduce new rules for older drivers. of course, statistics show it is younger drivers who have more accidents. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up before nine, chris will have the weekend's weather for you. but first at 8.30am a summary of this morning's main 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.
8:30 am
nhs bosses say the extra investment being made in the health service would relieve the pressures, but doctors' leaders described the findings as shocking. we know that patients are really struggling to get appointments with gps. it does vary a lot across the country, but in many areas, patients say they can't the doctors that they want to see, they can't get appointments at the time of their choosing, and most worryingly, 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, kim jong—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 dermal fillers. 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 was being left to pick up the pieces. superdrug said it was "fully
8:31 am
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 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 —
8:32 am
including a delay in a new law on claims for whiplash, and the higher price of imported car parts, which pushes up the cost of any repair. it also blames uncertainty over brexit. those are the main stories this morning. told you there was a bumper package of support from mike. a bumper package from dan's power were later on. i suppose it's kind of a nature that makes the story. it is the end ofa that makes the story. it is the end of a match, serena williams, not the first time she has sort of rolled over on court, but this had a kind of special ending. spare a thought for dayana yastremska, of ukraine, who was thrashed 6—2 6—1, by serena williams at the australian open. she was against someone who had dominated the sport as long as she could remember. you start with lots of energy, but quickly soon you
8:33 am
realise how big the gulf is at that age, and there were tears, but it was an arm around the shoulder from her arrival at the end. the actual school was 6—2, 6—1. but she did help drive the tears of the 18—year—old from ukraine. the 18—year—old from ukraine. the 18—year—old wasn't even born when williams won the first of her 23 grand slam titles. "you're gonna make it, don't cry," said serena, who said it reminded her of the days when she felt intimidated. the woman who beat williams in the last grand slam final — naomi 0saka — is into the last 16 too. the fourth seed needed three sets but prevailed against hsieh su—wei. novak djokovic weathered a third set wobble to also reach the second week at melbourne park as he chases a seventh aussie open title. he came through against the tricky ca nadian teenager denis shapovalov
8:34 am
in four sets, cruising through the fourth 6—0. he'll play danill medvedev next. the other murray is still going well. jamie murray and partner bruno soares are into the third round of the men's doubles. the third seeds beat british duo luke bambridge and jonny 0'mara in just under two hours. 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 this in form edinburgh team. they sealed their seventh—straight win in all competitions thanks to this try from darcy graham. edinburgh finish top of their pool and the win also helped glasgow qualify for the knockout stage. it's the first time that both scottish sides have made it through. in the night's other game,
8:35 am
newcastle — who were already out — narrowly lost to toulon. norwich returned to second place in the championship, with a 3—1win over birmingham at carrow road. all the goals came in the first half, with this long—range grass—cutter from mario vrancic, the pick of the bunch. birmingham drop to ninth place. danny rose here this morning. hello, dan. interesting that you talk -- dan. interesting that you talk -- dan is here this morning. 0n football focus today, we have got a really interesting interview with paul pogba, who is the man who is accused of falling out with jose mourinho, causing problems with the old boss. we are not allowed to talk too much about that situation, but it was really interesting how things have changed under solskjaer. now, on this new brand of football, marcus rashford, anthony martial, they are old playing well. pogba has talked about the change of mentality at the club.
8:36 am
we want to do ourjob. to win. we wa nt we want to do ourjob. to win. we want to carry on. it is the best feeling when you win games. you hear good things, everybody is happy, me ntally good things, everybody is happy, mentally good, that the manager, as well. we want to win him. we just wa nt well. we want to win him. we just want to make him happy as well. he makes us happy, we want to make him happy. by making him happy, we are making ourselves happy, as well. happy. by making him happy, we are making ourselves happy, as weltm does seem like a dream team appointment, because you have got solskjaer with all the pizzazz of 20 yea rs solskjaer with all the pizzazz of 20 years ago, but also mike phelan coming back, was also instrumental. yes, with the history of the club, as well. solskjaer was there when paul barber was that the first time, and as that relationship, he knows the player. he knows how to get the
8:37 am
best out of him. —— paul pogba. anybody what luther? happy scenes series one, that seen on the bus? don't worry, that is good to get you back on london bus, because he beat back on london bus, because he beat back with two arsenal fans, and to chelsea fans of the derby, so we have got a lovely interview looking ahead to that big london derby, great interview with martin 0'neill, as well. in charge of forest now. pricey has won with nottingham forest. talk about spy gate, fa cup replay is, german football, italian football after their winter break, and live at newcastle against cardiff. we are rammed the rafters from midway on bbc one. one of my favourite things this week was jamie vardy in that spider—man suit. i
8:38 am
often think, we always warmly extends the welcome on the bbc brea kfast sofa extends the welcome on the bbc breakfast sofa to senior figures in football. a bacon football boss, they never come in. who do you like —— a big football bosque woods they never coming. they never coming. they are busy! maybe we should change that. maybe we should get someone on. change that. maybe we should get someone on. we change that. maybe we should get someone on. we have change that. maybe we should get someone on. we have to get they get a book out. that's true, all they finish and their careers are over, while they are still managing...” think it actually might be something to do with the fact that there are some restrictions as you said, we talked with certain football players that certain clubs, and here the restrictions might be... it's not treatment, it'sjust,
8:39 am
also dan today — in the scottish cup, a huge day for auchinleck talbot. . . most of the 4000 strong village — cup tie against ayr united. # 2nd—best # 2nd—best #go # 2nd—best # go talbots, talbot, talbots my heart and my soul # watch history unfold # watch history unfold # it's true what they say, it is unlike no other... another day, they had never performed against a senior team. it is on bbc one in scotland, as well. they have said that on social media this morning. i liked it so much, i thought i would share
8:40 am
it so much, i thought i would share it with you. good luck to auchinleck at all besides, good luck with the scottish cup today. patience under pressure was key forjudd trump, who's reached the semifinals of snooker‘s masters after knocking out world number one mark selby. trump raced into a 5—1 lead, and despite selby‘s best efforts to get back into the match, trump kept his cool, in a ito—minute long, 8th frame to win 6—2. he'll face neil robertson in the semifinals later after the australian beat barry hawkins 6 frames to 3. next to an incredible finish to a match in the australian women's t20 semi final, between melbourne renegades and sydney sixers. melbourne needed 3 to win off the last ball. sophie molineux gets a decent hit on the ball. it flies out towards the boundary. but ngefzf ~ _—,77 but could the batters get back for 3. not quite! talk about two throws in a succession. absolute genius. that is
8:41 am
so succession. absolute genius. that is so close. you would cry over land. 0h, so close. you would cry over land. oh, yes. we will see later on. thank you very much. a third of uk travel agents and tour operators are in danger of going out of business, according to research for radio 4. it found some high street operators had failed to keep up with technology, and uncertainty over brexit was also a factor. samantha fenwick from you and yours has more. quite a few pictures of drinks in here. yes. there are a lot of drinks. yeah. it was a lovely holiday, wasn't it? this was a family holiday which went horribly wrong. they paid for an all—inclusive break in la nza rote, but while they were away, their tour operator, monarch holidays, went bust. the hotel operator had not been paid and it was forcing the holiday—makers to pay up or leave. there was quite a bit of shouting, raised voices, and... and a lot of upset. the hotel manager wouldn't show his face. i thought it was like they were putting the blame on us. ijust felt belittled.
8:42 am
we alldid. but we had already paid for it. we had already paid for it, yeah. if we left without paying, that they would call the police in. i bet you were terrified. yeah, i was. many holiday companies are struggling. research for radio 4's you and yours suggests a third of travel agents and tour operators are in danger of going out of business. the problem for travel companies is that they have almost no financial subsidies at all. for those who travel, isn't this a little bit alarming? no, it's not, because not only has the potential situation of the industry deteriorated markedly in the last two years, now we have the uncertainty of brexit and we need a steady diet of business to generate the income to stay in business. the abta, the largest trade association for uk trade operators and travel agents, does not agree with the research.
8:43 am
it says the travel industry is very resilient and the number of insolvencies in recent years is historically low, butjeremy scott, who owns a chain of four travel agents in the south of england, says business can be tough. those that are struggling would be the traditional high—street retail travel agent, that have been around for a long while and have not really kept up with the technology and different market trends. we are backing the trend because this is growing. and if you do find yourself in trouble, the law says that if you have booked a package holiday with a uk tour operator or travel agent, you are fully covered. if you haven't gone on holiday yet, you will get a full refund, and if you are on holiday, it should not be disrupted and you should not have to pay any bills. unfortunately, the warning came too late for these people. they were forced to pay an £600 each for their holiday in lanzarote. they got the money back, but it ruined their holiday. samantha fenwick, bbc news.
8:44 am
samantha fenwick from bbc radio 4's you and yours joins us now. hello, there. someone might think, 0k, hello, there. someone might think, ok, i better be careful. if i go to travel agent one in three, they might hear what abta says, and they say that they seriously question the reliability of the analysis, they don't believe it reflects the status of the industry, travel is a resilient industry. those two things don't seem to sit comfortable together. what i think you should do if you are a consumer looking to book a holiday now. you should do some checks. make sure that it has got a abta bonding or a travel association bonding. so you can make sure that if you are stuck, then you have got some cover. because if you book it as separate entities, if you book it as separate entities, if you book your flight separately to your
8:45 am
hotel, then you would be covered, but the law says that if you book it asa but the law says that if you book it as a package, to a tour operator, then you should be covered financially. one of the things that we talk about on the sofa, is how we are in excellent three times, because of what is happening with brexit. so when abta also says, they have around 400 members, they have only had 13 insolvencies in the last few years, it says that the travel industry is very resilient, traditionally. we are in very extremely time, and brexit appears to be having an impact, although it is very difficult to tangibly show what the impact is. when you have done your research and you have been speaking to people, looking at the travel industry, what have they been saying is brexit related and harmful? the research suggests that these travel agencies and operators have very low assets, to the point that you might be booking a holiday when the holiday might be of more value than the assets of the company that you are booking it with, and so
8:46 am
that you are booking it with, and so that means if anything happens different in the economy, then a puff of wind could put them away. thomas cook last year offered two profit warnings. they said that people holidaying in the uk, because of beautiful weather, and the world cup, but also people were less likely to holiday in europe because of the pound against the euro. you got less money for your pound. a lot of people are attributing the euro to uncertainty. what's also interesting is that there has been an increase in people going to places like turkey, egyptology video, without the euro. what is the practical takeaway from this, you said that people should check the financial situation of the company, how can you do that, and is the principle that you could stick with one of the big companies, and say, that's ok, i don't know how he was
8:47 am
no? well, you can look on companies house, and the account of a travel agent. that's not realistic, though, is it? he wouldn't know. the best thing you can do is check it is bonded. if you book as a package, if you have legal protection to protect the money that you have spent on that holiday. we should not have to read pay out if a hotel manager comes up and says it should have to pay for the hotel. it should be converted either through abta through it all. some of, thank you very much for your time. it is 11 minutes to nine. look at the picture that helen has got behind you. apart from that, and be very gorgeous husky behind you, it doesn't look great. it is not a great day. it is cold and grey,
8:48 am
anotherjanuary great day. it is cold and grey, another january day. if great day. it is cold and grey, anotherjanuary day. if you woke up toa anotherjanuary day. if you woke up to a bit of snow, i am sure that will brighten the eyes of some smaller people in the audience, but this was derbyshire, taking a little while ago. that's why we had the main snow. this weather front here is the culprit, coming into the cold, but all the time being blocked by the high pressure. behind it, a lot of showers falling as rain across southern parts of england, and wales. it has reached the top of the welsh mountains, and we will keep on aisle. the hope is that will beat out as we go through what is left of our saturday morning to allow brighter skies in to the afternoon. where we will see brighter skies is the north of scotland. it was a bitter morning again, temperatures fell to —7, they will get above freezing, but only just as we had to the afternoon. across northern ireland, still a scattering of showers as you can see from this morning, part of the
8:49 am
midlands to, but further east, still elements of that weather front, still could be some snow across north yorkshire, for example. lots to keep our eye on, but a fairly quiet they really compare to what is in store as we move into next week. see how the showers become fewer and farther between across the west into the afternoon, but it is cold, wherever you are. if you happy sunshine, or if you don't, the most of us it was they rather grey and loudly, wherever it is, it is cold. it will be a cold night in it. and then we have this weather front approaching, but again, as with come across our pressure, it will be can, but there is a risk of a bit of eyes, with temperatures falling below freezing in the countryside more widely tonight. sunday looks like a fairly quiet day, our weather front yes bringing some rain at higher levels over the hills and mountains, snow in the happy about it lower weather systems. we are
8:50 am
hopeful of more sunshine across east anglia and the south—east, and following the weather front for scotla nd following the weather front for scotland and northern ireland, but in between, probably a lot of cloud, and quite called for all of us, again. and then the weather gets a bit more active, our next system coming in from the atlantic comes into that called out, and it doesn't store this time, so chances are it will give more areas snow through monday and introduced it. you can see as it rattles its way in, and then the cold air digs in behind, and we will have snow showers, and that will be, that cold air, that could be the time we more disruptive snow affecting more part of the country. it is called this weekend, with a lot of cloud around, and a smattering of snow there, however, it does get a bit more potentially disruptive into the early part of next week. helen, it's horrible,
8:51 am
isn't it. like cold crisp and bright sunshine, i'm not bothered about that, and then, i suppose the aftermath, if we have some snow, will be a delight for some who have not seen it so far this season, but it's not great for getting out and about and getting around. no, i think it is definitely double and triple layers, wrap—up warm. thank you very much. the time now is 852. extra ordinary story now this morning. 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. 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
8:52 am
children for seven years. fiona lamdin has been to meet the family. with one—month—old triplets, life for 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 ivf on the nhs. they put only one embryo because the doctor said we have 30 per cent for a pregnancy, and that's a heavy wait. and they went in for a scan a few weeks later, doctors couldn't believe what they saw. the nurse turned to my husband and she asked if you would like to sit down. and she said, it's 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 to have this combination of natural conception coupled with ivf, resulting in triplets — well, that's very rare. so, explain how the twins were there? well, you know, you're not allowed to have sex for days before the egg collection, but i don't think we listened to them. and that is how the twins happened.
8:53 am
after scans, doctors told betty they could see that matilda and boris were seven days ahead of their sister, amelia. my husband made a little bit of space. now venturing out is quite some mission. they have even had to trim their fence so that the triple pram can get out. their fence so that the triple pram 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 is it? wonderful. it's an amazing thing, to have a baby. that is what we wanted to do for so long and we have even more than we were thinking of. iam i am trying to think of that and ——
8:54 am
a link between that and the next story. they will need to be super organised. 0ne story. they will need to be super organised. one of the documentaries, she works with a family, and is find that there is no space, which inevitably happens. best would understand it is have a look at what she does. next, is books, give them a bit of a shake—up, and then paper. the last category is kitchen, bathroom and garage. everything the silliness. finally, sentimental items.”

8:56 am
today cartridge, there are about five principles, and there? yes, actually, the whole principle of the philosophy is to only keep things in your home that sparked joy or that you love, but it also started committing to tidying up, so sometimes people and went —— and ready. perhaps this method is not for them, but then you discard you sort of create your ideal lifestyle, and you decide where you wa nt to lifestyle, and you decide where you want to go, where you want them to feel like —— how you want your home to feel like. benyu tidy a category ata time, to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a time, rather than a - so to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a would rather than a - so to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a would do her than a - so to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a would do —— than a - so to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a would do —— then a - so to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a would do —— then you - so to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a would do —— then you tidy so to feel like. benyu tidy a category at a would do —— then you tidy a o you would do —— then you tidy a category at a time, rather than a room. at the very end, you would do sentimental. you would have to work in the right order, and all the way through, you are asking yourself,
8:57 am
does this item sparked joy? does it create a positive role in my life? here you are sitting on the sofa, and you have brought some items. that is have a look. here i come into the room, and oh, look at this! here we are! and then what happens next? so, i would here we are! and then what happens next? so, iwould ask here we are! and then what happens next? so, i would ask you to hold this item in your hands. what have you got here? just a normal, normal t—shirt. now, you hold that in your arms, and you think about the role that space in your life. does it sparked joy? i love this t-shirt. you know what i am good to do, is pictured on the chair, right next to me. ijust pictured on the chair, right next to me. i just want pictured on the chair, right next to me. ijust want it handy.” pictured on the chair, right next to me. ijust want it handy. i love that item. is that a mass or is it 0k? cannon that's ok so now. we make decisions about what sparked joy, and then we decide how to organise them. you would be able to fold that
8:58 am
beautifully. i am them. you would be able to fold that beautifully. iam paid them. you would be able to fold that beautifully. i am paid to ask you a question. i don't think this is something to be mocked, but i don't think this is something that everybody watching will think they have a time to this nonsense. i am going to tidy up my house, i don't have time to do this. yes, it is not everybody, but if people decide they wa nt to everybody, but if people decide they want to make a positive change in their life, this is a method that they can use, and it has inspired so many people, just make that change. it has completely changed my life, i was a busy working mum, and it gave mea was a busy working mum, and it gave me a formula to follow, and a love living with less, i love the family life being easier, and having time to focus on my kids. it truly is life changing. thank you very much.
8:59 am
