tv Breakfast BBC News February 3, 2019 7:00am-8:01am GMT
7:00 am
well, that's all for this week. but coming up next week, christa takes a peek at the back of the notre dame cathedral in paris to discover fallen pinnacles and gargoyles, and she meets those trying to save it. within ten years, we could have the cathedral completely down, if we were to do nothing. and in the meantime, don't forget — you can follow us on social media. the links are on our website. but for now, from me, lucy hedges, and the rest of the travel show team, it's goodbye. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. our headlines today: theresa may vows to deliver brexit on time as she prepares to re—open negotiations in brussels, promising new ideas about the irish border. a new search to try to find the missing cardiff city footballer emiliano sala and his pilot begins this morning off guernsey. and would you know the difference
7:01 am
between a knife and an kirpan? we look at the debate around carrying the sikh ceremonial dagger on aeroplanes. in sport, england make the perfect start to their six nations campaign as they beat the reigning champions in dublin — ireland's first home six nations defeat in six years. scotland also open with a victory over italy. and another very cold morning out there. widespread frost, but guess what? from tonight onwards, it is all change. milder weather on the way. it's sunday, february 3rd. our top story: theresa may says she is still determined to deliver brexit on time as she prepares to re—open negotiations in brussels. writing in the sunday telegraph, the prime minister says she will "battle for britain" in the upcoming talks and hopes to come back with "new ideas" on the issue of the irish border. our political correspondent jonathan blakejoins us now. jonathan, tell us what
7:02 am
theresa may's been saying. good morning, there is a couple of things were sticking out from her article this morning, firstly she says she will return to brussels with a renewed mandate, new ideas, and renewed determination. we know she has a mandate after the vote in the house of commons are proving her deal with alternative arrangements to the backstop. as for the new ideas, we will have to take her word for it because nothing the government has suggested has had anything other than a rule out from brussels that we will have to see what she comes up with there. also sang specifically she is determined to deliver brexit by march 29, put into it took —— putting to bed talk that there could be a delay, maybe a few weeks, to get all of the legislation through. it does not sound like the prime minister wants that. so she goes out full of hope
7:03 am
and optimism i'm sure. how with all of this likely to go down with the eu? we have had a sense of the response she is likely to get from the irish deputy prime minister who has also been writing in one of the sunday newspapers, saying the backstop, that part of the brexit deal designed to prevent a hard order in northern ireland over trade deal cannot be done is a necessary guarantee and anything the government suggested so far, perhaps a time limit or an exit clause for the uk, would render it redundant and a sense of the start of eu country, saying the eu will not renegotiate the brexit deal and there will be no withdrawal agreement without the backstop —— sta nce agreement without the backstop —— stance of the eu countries. theresa may says she will battle for britain in brussels, she may not be battling but that may be more like a brick wall. thank you, jonathan. britain's car manufacturing industry is expected to be dealt a blow this week when nissan announces it's cancelling a planned investment at its plant in sunderland.
7:04 am
the company confirmed in 2016 that it would build a new version of its x—trail people carrier at the site, after receiving government assurances on the impact of brexit. it's understood executives will make an announcement to pull investment tomorrow. no immediate job losses are expected at the site, which employs almost 7,000 people. an underwater search for the missing plane carrying footballer emiliano sala and his pilot is due to begin this morning. cardiff city's new signing disappeared with pilot david ibbotson over the english channel 13 days ago. two search ships — one privately funded and one from the air accidents investigation branch — will search the sea bed off guernsey. john fernandez reports. in the early hours of this morning, the search boat morven left st peter port harbour in guernsey to join up with a larger vessel commissioned by the air accidents investigation branch. the two search teams, one of them sponsored by a crowdfunding operation on behalf of the sala family, will check four nautical square miles. the seabed will be scoured using a combination of sonar
7:05 am
technology and unmanned submersible vehicles. we tow these sonars just off the seabed and gives us a very high—resolution picture — we can pick out small objects the size of a tyre from a car so the resolution is really, you know, very, very tight, and we'll be running lines in a grid pattern overlapping these lines. we call it "mowing the lawn." it's expected the search will take around three days. if nothing is found in that time, the teams have, as yet, no plans to continue. victims of crime will be given new rights to challenge the release of violent offenders under a review of the parole system. the change follows an outcry last year over the planned release of the so—called black cab rapistjohn worboys. it will mean that victims will not have to go to court to contest parole board decisions. instead, they will be able to apply to the department ofjustice with any objections.
7:06 am
hundreds of students have joined the search for libby squire, who went missing after a night out in hull on thursday. police say they are extremely concerned for her welfare, and herfamily said her disappearance was completely out of character, as simon clemison reports. no search is easy. but try subzero temperatures. the conditions here couldn't have made things more difficult. loving, down to earth, 21—year—old libby squire is studying at the university of hull. she got into a taxi outside the welly club on beverley road at about 11 o'clock on thursday night. it's thought she got out a short time later near her home off the same road, and was last seen on cctv at about 11:45pm. officers have been leading the operation to find libby, going from house to house. about 200 students have also been involved. i want to thank everyone for their messages of concern, for sharing the information about libby, and those who live
7:07 am
in the area have been checking their gardens, porches and sheds to try to help us locate her. over 70 officers have been out searching, speaking to herfriends, visiting the pubs and clubs in the area, and making enquiries with those who saw her during thursday evening. despite these efforts, we have still not located libby. libby's family say her disappearance is out of character and so, police are still concerned. but with more freezing temperatures this morning, for now, this search is not getting any easier. simon clemison, bbc news. thousands of police officers and civilian staff in england and wales have not been vetted to national standards, the bbc has found. the new guidelines, designed to weed out rogue recruits, were introduced in 2006, but figures from 31 forces show almost 6,000 staff have not had the retrospective checks. 5 live investigates presenter adrian goldberg spoke to us earlier.
7:08 am
i think is cause to be worried here. the whole point of the guidelines introduced in 2006 was to weed out rogue officers. there are rigorous checks, social media checks, friends, people you might associate with in any way. the whole point is to make sure that rogue officers don't get... but they are not being done. they are not and people who have been employed since before 2006 should have been subjected to these tough new guidelines, and nearly 6,000 officers had not been checked who were employed before 2006, according to these new guidelines. have you been told why? i know the freedom of information request will not have said how many have been done, but have you been given a reason? i was speaking to the national police chiefs' council about this, they said that this is a national emergency and they want to address it but they say it is about the timing,
7:09 am
but they said it is impossible, based on the number of new recruits coming onstream that they want to check. you can hear more on that story on 5 live investigates this morning at 11:00am. tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the streets of venezuela in rival mass rallies. the head of the opposition, juan guaido, is trying to force president maduro from power. the president also spoke at a rally in support of his leadership and the current government. european countries say they'll recognise the opposition leader if presidential elections aren't called by midnight tonight. pope francis will become the first pontiff to visit the arabian peninsula when he arrives in the united arab emirates later. he's been invited to the region by abu dhabi's crown prince to take part in an inter—faith conference. the trip will also feature a mass on tuesday, which is expected to draw tens of thousands of people. everyone is happy, everyone is excited, the people are lining up just to get tickets, so it is something that we are really, really looking forward. the fact that the pope was able to come here, supported by the rulers of this country, is such a positive,
7:10 am
exciting time for everybody in abu dhabi and beyond right now. customs officials in india have detained a passenger after they found a month—old leopard cub hidden in his luggage. the cub was found when they heard noises coming from the man's bag. the animal appeared weak and in a state of shock and has been taken to a wildlife park to be cared for. authorities are investigating whether the man is part of an international smuggling ring. american football's showpiece event takes place tonight as the new england patriots and the la rams meet in the super bowl in atlanta. millions of people worldwide are expected to watch the game which could see patriots quarterback tom brady make history by becoming the only person to win six super bowl titles. and you can see coverage
7:11 am
and you can see coverage on and you can see coverage on bbc one later tonight. it is 11 minutes past seven. could the world be on the verge of a new nuclear arms race between the united states and russia 7 on friday, the us announced it had abandoned a key weapons pact drawn up between the two nations. now president putin says his country will start developing new missiles. the intermediate—range nuclear forces — or inf treaty — was agreed in 1987. signed by then us president ronald reagan and his soviet counterpart mikhail gorbachev, it effectively bought an end to the cold war arms race. the pact banned ground—launched missiles with a range of 300—3400 miles. so how worrying is this? dr rainer—elk anders is a russia analyst at bath spa university. thank you so much adjoining us this morning. thank you for having me on the show. or do you make of this development? we are going through
7:12 am
predictable and dangerous times. as you said, those of us who remember the arms race and also the concern in the worries and fears about possible nuclear war or unintentional nuclear warfare in europe, well, the inf treaty was indeed the cornerstone and the treaty that brought an end to exactly all of those fears and what we are entering now is a phase of unpredictability, we are very likely to enter also a phase of a new arms race in europe and also it will mean greater obviously than financial contributions that we will have to make in order to react ordeal with any deployment of nuclear arms on russia ‘s western and also it means greater political instability within oui’ greater political instability within our sort of nato alliance. all this sounds very alarming. how quickly is
7:13 am
all of this to happen? well, we have to remember the inf treaty actually lead to the destruction of around 2500 dutch 2600 warheads in europe and even if russia had deployed 500, sorry, 50— 100 nuclear warheads, would still be up to deal with it for a nato convention but it is a worry because what we have here is really a situation where we have torn up the treaty which was our ability to deal with russia and to enforce that russia would actually adhere to inf rules and the tearing up adhere to inf rules and the tearing up of the treaty should have been really the last resort, we should have got diplomatically and also through economic sanctions in order to deal with possible russian infringements of the inf treaty. ok, so we are infringements of the inf treaty. ok, so we are seeing trump and britain basically falling out over this. yes. where else is the power to
7:14 am
influence, to almost bring out some resolution —— putin. china perhaps? it is indeed very difficult. if we look at the track record of the trump administration, then we can expect that trump will announce bilateral talks with russia over possibly a new treaty that would replace the inf, and also be new sta rt treaty replace the inf, and also be new start treaty which deals with the number —— number of weapons in europe and the new negotiations will have to start because our current treaty expires in 2021, 2022. yes? i am trying to get more to the personality, the personalities behind the politics rather than the numbers, if that is ok. in terms of power we are seeing a numbers, if that is ok. in terms of power we are seeing a stand—off between resident britain and donald trump. it doesn't appear to be easing at all. —— president putin.
7:15 am
what i am asking i guess is whether china has the influence as a superpower in many ways to bring this back from potentially real escalating tensions? the moment, it is unlikely because we have actually passed that moment where we could have amended the inf treaty to also include china, which would have been the sensible thing to do. in terms of the personalities, we are at a stand—off and will we are likely to see is russia is going to produce or deploy nuclear warheads which were so deploy nuclear warheads which were so far banned under the inf treaty. it is likely that at some point, both parties will engage again in talks but it is really not in the short or medium—term at all. talks but it is really not in the short or medium-term at all. dr anders, thank you so much for your insight. here's tomasz with a look at this morning's weather. to cause a week. tomasz is here to
7:16 am
tell us is to disappear, i expect. —— obviously there has been snow throughout the course of the week. yeah, it has been thawing over the last 2a hours but there is going to be changed in the next day. much milderair is be changed in the next day. much milder air is drifting in off the atlantic. these are the temperatures across the uk right now, look at these lime green pasta colours across ireland here, that is the colder air pushing him. with that also comes weather front because of course, when the weather changes from cold to mild, we tend to see whether funds, so rain from cold to mild, we tend to see whetherfunds, so rain clouds moving across the uk. the rain is turning across the uk. the rain is turning across much of scotland and ireland here, the rain pushing through with snow, sleet. mainly around the lake district and the northern pennines, but i think through the day, we will
7:17 am
see rain band to central parts of the uk but overall for most of us, there will be sent by the surveillance state. i think there will be some sunshine in the south and south—east, about five or six degrees, still pretty chilly today. 0vernight tonight you can see the arrows spinning around behind me, the various areas of snow, wind and rain moving through. across the hills in scotland tonight, mostly across the hills tonight, and turning wet and windy across the uk and look at the temperatures, above freezing this coming night. this coming night will be very, very different. tomorrow, some sunshine the belfast, for the north—west of england, wales too, but this weather front drag its here's a little bit in the south—east, so it may stay damp and cloudy in places like tunbridge wells in london too. temperatures back up to double figures across the south—west of the country, in florida, so in plymouth, feeling very, very mild what has
7:18 am
been. tuesday, another low pressure approaches the uk, or whetherfunds pushing to and that really is the trend for the week ahead, double—figure temperatures across the south. there is even a 13 there, we into the low teens in london, just about single figures there. that is in edinburgh. as it stands at the moment, it does not look like winter is returning in the short term, we willjust see how the rest of february pans out. we have only just started february, haven't we? back to you. are you going to give us one of those rare long—range forecasts then? no, no, not in this programme. cabe, tomasz, thank you very much. -- 0k. sikhs who carry small swords, known as kirpans, for religious reasons, say they are facing discrimination and harassment amid concerns about terrorism and heightened security. some sikhs have been questioned at airports, while another was banned from a theme park. now campaigners are hoping for clearer legislation
7:19 am
to protect their right to continue carrying the kirpan. alex strangeways—booth reports. longhair, cotton underwear, a wooden koeman, steel bangle, and a small sword called a kirpan. all a vital pa rt sword called a kirpan. all a vital part of the baptised sikh's identity. jagmeet singh was questioned at an airport while checking his family off a flight. a member of the public had reported a man carrying a night stop you like and see if there was a concealed weapon of some sort and someone and see if there was a concealed weapon of some soi’t and someone was weapon of some sort and someone was acting dodgy and anyway, but i literally a family man picking up my young family. this is quite disheartening in the fact that people you really should be aware had no idea. it is notjust airport security whose stock sikhs wearing the kirpan, one family's experience of being banned from the theme park
7:20 am
led to a change of policy in nearly all the major tourist attractions in the uk and is still cannot get on the uk and is still cannot get on the london eye of you are wearing one. the experiences ofjagmeet singh and people like him have prompted a sikh education charity to launch an education campaign and to get out and about to educate the public about the kirpan. for sikh, kirpan represents religious honour and blessing, entered a's world, they say they would not use it as a weapon. in the general world today, sikh goes about wearing a kirpan in the world today, it is out of sight. a sikh meditates and also when it comes to our religious processes, we stay away from alcohol and drugs, so when it comes to a sikh, they are there to detect other people ‘s. 0con or does a nice can be carried for religious reasons and does say that the protections drawn up will
7:21 am
have more protections. they currently want all police forces, police forces to use the booklet to train their offices. —— want all police forces. gatwick say it is up to the airport manager to get permission to carry blades more than six centimetres long and airport terminal that many sikhs said is more important than ever for the public to understand that defence and defending the week is an integral part of their faith and carrying the kirpan is an outward show of that belief. alex strangeways—booth, bbc news. it is an interesting one, isn't it? ican it is an interesting one, isn't it? i can understand why there is a lot of debate around and. is clearly something that, it is a ceremonial thing, isn't it? the clearly, people
7:22 am
are concerned about seeing people carrying a knife. let's have a look at the newspapers. politics lecturer victoria honeyman is here to tell us what's caught her eye. good morning. i do not even know why isaid good morning. i do not even know why i said vicki, i have never called you begin my life. we are going to look at the front pages. are you well? am, thank you. literally, what time. ——i well? am, thank you. literally, what time. —— i am. well? am, thank you. literally, what time. -- i am. we'll talk to victoria in minutes. first, let's look at the front pages. the sunday telegraph todaying leading with our top story — theresa may saying she'll "battle for britain" when she travels to brussels this week. the observer says that six disaffected labour mps have been drawing up plans to resign and form a breakaway movement. the mail on sunday claims the head of the climate change committee, john selwyn gummer, has been paid £600,000 from green businesses who stand to make millions from his advice. he denies any conflict of interest,
7:23 am
and says he's fully complied with disclosure rules. and the sunday times reveals a brexit plan to evacuate the queen on its front page. it gives details of the emergency proposals to remove senior royals from london in the event of riots being triggered by a no—deal brexit. they might be reactivating a cold war react to the evacuation plan. victoria, i've got to ask you before we delve into a first—rate, what are you telling students when you lecture them? we've the jargon buster, the brexitjargon buster, we are trying to get answers out of politicians about what they want when it comes to renegotiating, for example, the backstop. what are you telling your students when you're trying to explain the processes and what is happening? at the moment, we are trying to kind of stick to a factual version of brexit, as factual version of brexit, as factual can be. 0ur
7:24 am
factual version of brexit, as factual can be. our students are pretty switched on, they are not looking to us to offer an opinion, they are not looking to us to inform their views, they are looking to us their views, they are looking to us the kind of say well, how to get you? that the kind of say well, how to get you ? that is the kind of say well, how to get you? that is something we can talk about and something we have been talking about in universities for decades. are they as engaged would you think that they are broadly getting what is going on?|j you think that they are broadly getting what is going on? i think that some of them are engaged because they feel it, they are worried about their futures. others, like everybody else, ijust like enough, ican't like everybody else, ijust like enough, i can't bear any more. they are exactly like the rest of this, i think. there have been means of articles written about brexit of course, if you happen to be in a petrol station, you might have found a load of confidential documents in the dim. yeah, boris johnson is in trouble. apparently, he dropped 70 pages of documentation, bits of pieces of commentary that he had written, covering brexit, everything including prawn cocktail crisps into a bin, some of them fell out of the bin, where they were helpfully picked up by a member of the public,
7:25 am
who sent them to the sunday mirror, it should say, to have a look at and it should say, to have a look at and it has all the tantalising details on what his doodles are, apparently due as teeth, in case you are interested. some psychologists will have one without. bits and pieces of columns that he has written about brexit, ideas for speeches, all those kinds of ideas. so the inner thought process. -- with that. is any that surprising to you? no, not particularly. it is a brexiteer, says he is up at anything that is to move away from or delay is surrender, he has used that word a lot. we we re surrender, he has used that word a lot. we were just talking about what is happening now with the is treaty, vladimir putin signalling now they restarting of the nuclear weapons programme. there's been a lot of
7:26 am
concern about this nato countries particularly have tended to spit on it. the west of europe, countries like britain for example, have tended to be very supportive of the united states. they have argued that russia was breaking the treaty anyway. those that have been on the board or closer to the border with russia have suggested that if russia is breaking it anyway, than actually, this is a good move because it allows america to actually take action in order to deal with that, but what we can say is that this is deeply worrying. the buildup of these kinds of weapons is usually worrying and should be worrying for everyone on the mainland of europe and indeed britain, because the treaty was one of the kind of founding documents that was put forward during the decay of gorbachev, reagan era. i am not sure that it was entirely positive step to see intermediate range nuclear weapons. “— positive step to see intermediate range nuclearweapons. —— during
7:27 am
positive step to see intermediate range nuclear weapons. —— during the gorbachev, reagan era. keeping a close eye on homes for children, let's just explain this. close eye on homes for children, let'sjust explain this. home for children are children who are removed from the standardise state education system and for a variety of reasons. this article essentially argues that there is a bigger problem with schooling, and that individuals who would perhaps not do quite as well during their examinations, individuals that have special needs and feel, their parents feel that they are not being treated appropriately at school, are being taken off the list to be homeschooled. the problem is that there are no oversight to the home school and the article is not criticising homeschooling, what it is saying is that essentially children are being made vunerable because schools are being forced to push very specific type of selection agenda. owners wanted an excuse to show a pretty picture, it snowed. agenda. owners wanted an excuse to show a pretty picture, it snowedm snowed. hey, that is really exciting. not in leeds, no. -- i just wanted. we have been
7:28 am
relatively... have you been laughing at the coverage? we have done loads of coverage in many, many ways. this is...i of coverage in many, many ways. this is... iam not of coverage in many, many ways. this is... i am not going to say that name. it is a village in wales. the thing is, i do not want to offend anyone in wales but it is a village in wales and it looks beautiful. we had all that coverage we had correspondence all over the country saying in that it was covered in snow and others saying it was fine. lam one snow and others saying it was fine. i am one of those kind of weird individuals who has no problem with this. maybe i should move to that weird village in wales, i would be very happy. we have been talking today about swimming, are you any good serving? yeah, i rather like serving. i do, yeah. we are talking about later because john serving. i do, yeah. we are talking about later becausejohn legend as having lessons at the age of 40, he hears. he hasjust started learning

7:34 am
they were superb in the six nations match. a real statement out of the world cup. so england can reflect on a superb performance yesterday and that 32 points to 20 win against last season's grand slam winners. it was ireland's first six nations defeat in dublin for six years. earlier, scotland started their campaign with a 33—20 win over italy at murrayfield. our sports editor dan roan rounds up the action. with these two teams dominating recent six nations, this promised to be an epic. grand slam winners and second in the world rankings, ireland were favourites, but it was england who started fastest. the game had barely begun whenjonny may scored his country's first try here for eight years to stun the home crowd. ireland responded, cian healy burrowing over after sustained pressure. but england were forcing their opponents into uncharacteristic mistakes. jacob stockdale's blunder pounced on by elliot daly. the lead, seven points at half—time. ireland aren't used to being bullied — this is a team who beat the mighty all blacks here in the autumn.
7:35 am
but despite losing maro itoje to a serious injury, england's ruthlessness earned a famous win. first, may's clever kick through was gathered by henry slade, before the centre scored his second and the decisive try, seizing onjohnny sexton's desperate pass. ireland managed a late consolation, but this was england's day, their first win here for six years and by a margin few had predicted. ireland very rarely lose here and so, this is a hugely significant result for england, and certainly, this team bears little resemblance to the one that finished fifth in last year's championship. in a world cup year, this is hugely encouraging for eddie jones' side. meanwhile, earlier at murrayfield, the fans were in good voice as scotland managed a winning start to their campaign against italy, blair kinghorn scoring the hosts' first championship hat—trick in 30 years — a result scotland will look to build on next week, when they welcome a bruised ireland. dan roan, bbc news, dublin. in the women's six nations
7:36 am
france thrashed wales. caroline thomas scored a hat—trick as the defending champions ran in nine tries for a 52—3 victory. wales' only points came courtesy of a first half penalty. england's cricketers have slumped to another heavy defeat against the west indies in antigua, and with it have lost their 3—match test series with a game still to play. england finished their second innings with a lead ofjust 13 runs after another batting collapse. the windies quickly completed a 10—wicket win, john campbell clearing the boundary to clinch the victory in style. cardiff city's players and fans paid tribute to emiliano sala yesterday. the game against bournemouth was their first at home since their new argentine signing went missing when his plane disappeared over the channel islands. both team's captains laid flowers on the pitch and fans created a mosaic in honour of the argentine striker who they had signed from french side nantes.
7:37 am
bobby reid scored both of cardiff's goals in a 2—0 win and after the first he held up a t—shirt adorned with sala's image. emiliano was a super guy — i met him for a couple of months — and itjust got hold of me after the final whistle, walking across to the fans at the far side. they were amazing. and you just start thinking about things and you just can't stop. it's a — it is an emotional time. it was great for the club to get the win today, i'm pleased for the chairman, mehmet dalman, and ken choo, they have worked really hard and, you know, good to — to — i was proud of the club today. new loan signing gonzalo higuain and eden hazard both scored twice in chelsea's comfortable 5—0 victory over bottom side huddersfield. the win moved maurizio sarri's side back into the top four after their 4—0 defeat at bournemouth last week. southampton were on course

forjust their sixth league win of the season. this is spurrs. —— this is spurs. that was a brilliant match. i was watching that. harry kane and playing so they were so frustrated, the person i was watching with, and isaid the person i was watching with, and i said what about son. well, they rely on him when harry kane is not there. it was late on and there were so there. it was late on and there were so many chances, weren't there?m was a really good win. elsewhere in the championship, norwich city went top after beating leeds united 3—1 at elland road.
7:39 am
two goals from mario vrancic ensured they took all three points to move ahead of leeds on goal difference. in the scottish premiership, rangers beat st mirren 4—0, narrowing the gap on leaders celtic to three points. meanwhile, aberdeen moved into third place after coming from behind to win at hibernian. gary mackay—steven fired them 2—1 in front before half—time, and that's the way it stayed. celtic play saintjohnstone today. tom daley‘s made his return to competitive diving after a long break last year. he struggled with injuries and became a father. he and his new diving partner matty lee won gold at the british national cup. they've only been training together for four months. it was the first time daley had competed in front of his 7—month—old son, robbie. down on the end of the board for that first dive, i was so nervous. i was standing there, it was like the first time. i was like "oh, my goodness, this is like... like, i'm competing again, i am back at it. this is really weird. "and my son's watching me. oh, my goodness!" so, yeah, but it was really nice, actually, to go out there and compete ahead of the individuals tomorrow.
7:40 am
our dives were steady, consistent and 421 is a pretty decent score for our first ever performance together, so pretty happy with that. warrington wolves kicked off their super league season with a comprehensive 26—6 win over leeds rhinos. josh charnley scored the second of warrington's four tries, giving dave furner a rough start to life as rhinos head coach. leeds travel to champions wigan on friday, while warrington host hull kingston rovers on saturday. now, we have been chatting about this. former masters champion sergio garcia has said sorry after being disqualified yesterday from the saudi international for serious misconduct. he has promised he won't repeat the behaviour, which saw him damage a couple of greens in frustration on friday. meanwhile, world number three dustinjohnson has a share of the lead with china's haotong li heading into today's final round. they're both 16 under par. johnson had led by four strokes after six birdies in his first 12 holes but li finished with a flourish to join him at the top of the leaderboard. he actually said this, i have his
7:41 am
quote" i have informed my fellow players it will never happen again" so players it will never happen again" so he has apologised but it is very unusual. especially sergio garcia, who was stunning, he has had a really good run, during the ryder cup, so good. and the masters. to lose his temper. what is it about golf that makes you lose or temper? it is really hard. have you lost your temper, naga?|j it is really hard. have you lost your temper, naga? i have, buti have never smashed apart into the green. —— a putter. have never smashed apart into the green. -- a putter. it was an unusual pitch he made at everton, we will see its late on. very unusual. let's leave a hint. feline football.
7:42 am
raffle winners. are you ever lucky? i sit next to you every weekend. smooth! he is very smooth! most raffle winners walk away with a bottle of plonk or a box of chocolates. but how would you fancy scooping a 6—bedroomed georgian manor house for the cost of a £2 ticket? one woman did exactly that in 2017. but, as increasing numbers of properties are sold via raffles, the advertising standards authority is receiving more complaints about prizes that were too good to be true. jon cuthill has been looking into it. this was dunston low in 2017, and announcing the winner of his house. i believe i havejust won a house. dunston owned malling manor in lancashire. but with no income and an increasing mortgage, he was £600,000 in debt. why why suggested we give the keys back to the bank
7:43 am
and actually agreed with that but i said just let me try one last thing. dunston gave people the chance to win his manner selling tickets are just £2 each. six months later, he gave away the keys. we just saw it ta ke gave away the keys. we just saw it take over £1 million and it was quite unbelievable, it was such a sense of relief. one leading website that tracks competitions like dunston's says there have been 40 similar ones dunston's says there have been 40 similarones in dunston's says there have been 40 similar ones in tears. only two have actually given away a property. last year, this competition was offering the chance to win a £3 million half house on the hampshire dorset border. four £25 a ticket. —— huf house. it was a dream, wasn't it? it was. john was one to buy a ticket, hoping to win avon place. it wasn't until afterwards when i read the terms and conditions that are stated is not enough sales were made in a cash prize would be given, you know,
7:44 am
that was not in the headline on the website. the competition was being run by the property's owners, mr and mrs erfurt, who sold £750,000 worth of tickets. the prize fund given was 110 k, you know, where is the rest of the money? the couple is a huge amount of money went on advertising which failed to cover its costs and they said they calculated the price exactly as described in the terms and conditions which all entrants had to accept. but that has not stopped some disgruntled punters and going to the authorities. andrew bruce is the investigations manager out advertising standards authority. the rules say that you need to offer the prize or a reasonable equivalent, the onus is on the promoter to say if you want to offer a house, you need to make sure that you can deliver on the promise. the couple have previously said a fully complied with all competition rules and would be filing their accounts
7:45 am
in line with statutory requirements. they have since told us they have nothing further to add. jon cuthill, bbc news. and you can see more on that story tomorrow night on bbc inside out south at 7:30pm. elsewhere, it is on bbc iplayer of course. is 8:15a.m.. is 8:15 a.m.. we are going to talk about the weather but i wanted to say, don't you love how helpful albee was at? think you this morning. both of asked shied away from the announcing the name of that we been told and we have had e—mails from viewers. —— of us. so thank you very much. happy sunday if you live place that. it is going to be
7:46 am
snowing. it is, it is. and that town you just mentioned, when i used to the town names, i remember putting that town names, i remember putting that town name on the d village and i remember they had to pronounce it. . the snow, yes, of course it has been melting but it has also be frozen overnight. the headline has disappeared. but the point is that this frosty weather is not going to hang on. in fact, this is what it looks like a roundabout now, at 7am in the morning, not that long ago that milder air is already pushing into ireland and this is thanks to these weather funds which are moving in. they are going to change the weather, is going to turn a lot milder notjust over the next two flowers but in fact, the week ahead looks very different compared to what we just had. —— showers. across the northern half of the country,
7:47 am
since no temporarily across the hills in the northern pennines in the lake district. a bit of rain for most early in the morning that the further south and south—east you are, the brighter the weather will be an actually really decent for southampton, london, norwich think today. wet weather chain starts here, the south—westerly winds move in bringing much milder air. last night, temperatures dipped down to around —12 or —13 in some spots. look at the difference, to my morning we are talking about in the range of plus one in aberdeen to about eight degrees there in tropical plymouth. perhaps cloudy and damp in the southern counties and damp in the southern counties and also unsettled in north—eastern scotla nd and also unsettled in north—eastern scotland and largely across the country, we are going to see a lot of dry, if not sunny weather. nine degrees in belfast, double figures there for cornwall and the plymouth
7:48 am
as well. that is monday, tuesday onwards, these low pressure stops come in and again, when we see these patterns, that means increasing winds, increasing air pressure off the atlantic. you can see that those temperatures would back into double figures and for now, it looks like winter is on hold, at for now. thank you very much. weather and pronunciations, what more do you need? it's time for click now. the construction of a wall at the us—mexican border has
7:49 am
dominated american politics since donald trump joined the presidential race back in 2015. we are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration. it reached its crescendo in december, when the now—president announced a federal government shutdown over its funding. we're going to have a shutdown. there's nothing we can do about that. a record 35 days later, it was finally lifted, without any real resolution, and it could easily be back on within weeks. as trump tweeted out a new design for his wall, now made of steel rather than concrete, the democrats did offer a potential compromise — to fund a border which used technology rather than physical barriers. but is that feasible, and what would it look like? we sent nick kwek to arizona to investigate. so i'm on my way to the nogales
7:50 am
border patrol station, one of the most technologically advanced control centres on the us—mexico border. the checkpoint itself processes hundreds of thousands of people every month. but today, i'm going on a ride—along with agent dan hernandez of border patrol, whose job it is to keep out those attempting to cross illegally. hey, just be advised i'm going to be around your location. we have 262 linear miles of border fence with mexico, but thousands of miles on the north end on the american side. it's a daunting task, and it's very vast, but with the technology, we're able to get a leg up on our adversaries. dan's patrol zone is larger than the state of newjersey. his sector of duty, tucson, made almost 40,000 arrests in 2017. out in this unforgiving terrain,
7:51 am
field agents like him go about their daily patrol. every piece of technology used by them is vital, and has to be reliable, even down to their radio coms. this one does have an encryption that's higher level than most, police departments, because of the national security concerns, because of the criminal element, we have a radio that's equipped with gps. so if something should happen, i become incapacitated, i could press that button and help will come. help will come from here, the nogales control centre, where officers can literally see what is going on, thanks to a newly updated surveillance system. their solar—powered integrated fixed towers, also known as ifts, have long—range video and thermal imaging cameras, coupled with radar, to provide high—altitude points of view, with watchful eyes back at base. we have tracking systems that can detect movement,
7:52 am
and it places the camera at the source of the movement. before, we'd see some pixelation, the cameras, just by the remote nature of their placement, tt was very difficult to focus far away. but with technology, we've increased the amount of distances we can see and the accuracy of the images, and we're seeing really crisp, sharp images. so we're able to identify things that come over the fence, people that come over the fence, contraband that comes over the fence, and not only that, but it increases safety. if i go out to an area and i don't know what i'm waiting on, and i don't know what's out there, and i run into an assailant with a firearm, it might be a bad situation. but if i know that prior to going in there, i might be able to bring other resources with me. as well as saving agents's time, and potentially saving them, the ifts have helped secure areas where physical barriers are not. down near mariposa wash, fencing has been raised to prevent erosion from waterflow, but a person could easily walk through here.
7:53 am
for all intents and purposes, we consider this defence the wall. so we don't want people to think that this is the only thing keeping america safe. we have the fencing as a tool, as another system that we can utilise, but it by no means is supposed to keep anybody in or out. we are the force, with the agents, in conjunction with the technology, and this being utilised as a tool, that seamless integration of all three components is what makes the border secure, is having the agents to make an arrest, the wall, and then the technology to supplement it. this could be just a couple of miles, or it could be a couple of hundred yards. five minutes down the road, dan shows me a border section where technology is already having to do most of the work in keeping people out. just looking at this, this is completely not what i was expecting to see. i guess, when people have visions of the wall or, you know, the mexican border, the us—mexico border.
7:54 am
like i said, the presence of the fence isn't here. it's not a very powerful fence, by any means. it's just meant to keep vehicles out. whilst these sticks won't stop determined individuals, i'm told scattered sensors buried in the ground all around the area could catch them offguard. technology is intended to help agents do their duties. but, of course, it's not always criminals that get caught in the net. the recent migrant caravan crisis highlighted how many families make the perilousjourney in hope for a better life in the us. many have been torn apart, and some children have died since being detained by authorities. for dan, he says he's just doing hisjob. no matter on what side of the spectrum you fall on, border security is important for the entire country. we're law enforcement officers. we don't dictate the law, we just enforce the laws, so the best way to enforce the laws is by doing it in the most effective and most efficient way. as well as giving agents eyes—on
7:55 am
from a long range of rural terrain, imposing structures have also been used to mitigate crime in urban areas. so up that hill there is a rvss tower, or remote video surveillance system, which is keeping a close eye across this area, which historically has been quite dangerous. but having that eye in the sky has helped improve safety — or so i thought. on top of that tin roof there. yes. those are rocks. yes, those are all rocks thrown at agents. 0k, we got to get out of here. yeah, you got to go, you got to go, you got to go. so actually — we actuallyjust heard a rock land on the top of that garage there, so obviously people up there are throwing stones at us. so we're heading out. come on. no—one's hurt, everyone's code four.
7:56 am
just be advised it's for safety. this is an area where usually scouts, or people involved with human smuggling are perched, and i believe there's one person underneath that tree. so he's a human smuggler scout. while scouts may sit for hours at a time, people crossing the desert move from place to place, so border patrol have mobile surveillance trucks to reach remote areas. they're equipped with thermal rangefinders, enabling operators to measure the distance between themselves and people crossing, and laser pointers, to give agents in the field wearing nightvision goggles a heads—up. customs and border protection has also begun testing drones with facial recognition cameras to help monitor the border from an even higher vantage point, and border patrol is trialling a new mobile—based navigation tool, so agents can keep track of each other‘s live whereabouts. the border‘s changing every single day, and with technology or investment in
7:57 am
technology allows us to keep up with the trends, with the smugglers, with counteracting any kind of negative action towards the united states at the border. whilst trump's wall continues to be a bone of contention, maintaining the border stretches beyond simply erecting more steel fencing. as i've come to learn, communication tools and surveillance systems play a pivotal role in everyday operations. whether technology can replace a wall altogether here is something which will be debated in the coming weeks. in time, you will know what it's like to lose, to feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail all the same. i think it's 3,500 vfx shots, which is a huge number for a film. hear me, and rejoice. it was a major sequence, so it's the part of the film where ebony moore comes down to try and get the time stamp from dr
7:58 am
strange. because we were on the show fairly early, in the preproduction phase, all of the designs of the suits were still really only in sort of 2—dimensional form. so concept artists from marvel had worked those up, and part of our brief was to try to realise them in cg, and realise them in terms of motion, how they actually would move and work. so iron man's suit was a big part of that, it's nano—tech. robert downeer had quite a bit of input into how that worked. so it has a couple of cords that you pull and the suit tightens and allows the nano—tech to kind of spread out over it, which was his idea. spider—man has got his own problems as a character, because he's so bendy, and i think quite often,
7:59 am
the dislocations in his anatomy that would occur if you got into that kind of position are quite often hidden artfully in lighting. a lot of the effects are defined by the story and the storyboard. down to what happened to bricks, and making little darts out of bricks, that fly. we always try and look for reference, and he's an alien, so it's hard to find a reference of him. but we have a clear idea of what his character is supposed to be. he is old and quite distinguished, he's a wizard, so we looked at distinguished looking english actors, like peter cushing and christopher lee,
8:00 am
took cues off their hair, what does their skin look like? and try and infuse some of that character and posturing into the character. and that's it for the short cut of click this week. the full version is waiting for you right now on iplayer. as are we on social media, facebook, instagram, and twitter, where we live @bbcclick. thanks for watching and we will see you soon. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and rogerjohnson. our headlines today...
