6:00 am
good morning welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. our headlines today: the prime minister says she's prepared to talk tojeremy corbyn about his demands for supporting a brexit deal but rules out a customs union with the eu. a new trial suggests that women with a family history of breast cancer could benefit if screening was reduced to the age of 35. the bafta queen: olivia colman picks up best actress for her role in the favourite at last night's awards — and pays tribute to her co—stars. this is for all three of us. it's got my name on it but we can scratch in some other names. thank you so much. the danger of our smart devices. they can close our curtains and control our heating but a bbc investigation has uncovered the vulnerabilities in our virtual assistants. chelsea are hit for six. they return to the top of the premier league with a thrashing of chelsea. a cold start the day. other. some
6:01 am
patchy mist and fog but for many, dry with some sunshine. some patchy rain coming into the west. i will have more in 15 minutes. it's monday, february 11th. our top story: the prime minister has responded to a letter from jeremy corbyn, in which he set out five demands for a brexit deal. theresa may said she'd welcome further talks, but appears to reject the labour leader's call for the uk to stay in a permanent customs union with the eu. our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. we will have more throughout the programme. there's a warning this morning that britain would be "less safe" in the event of a no—deal brexit. the man in charge of police preparations, deputy assistant commissioner richard martin, says things like criminal records checks could take ten times as long. a team of 50 people are in in place to deal with the loss of policing tools like the european arrest warrant. it will cost five point six million pounds for the first year. andy moore reports.
6:02 am
there has been a safety net setup to ensure that we can continue to call break with our european counterparts. it employs around 50 people and it will cost £5.6 million for the first year. under the terms of the excellent deal negotiated by theresa may, there is a commitment to broaden a deep partnership with european law—enforcement but no decal on the specifics. if there was a no—deal brexit, the uk could immediately lose access to databases that are currently used millions of times a year. the police would have to fall back on treaties dating to the 19505. policing will not stop overnight. we were still be there using all our tools available to us to keep our community safe but it goes without saying that these processes a re goes without saying that these processes are slower, goes without saying that these processes are slower, clunky and obviously it doesn't allow us to be as efficient as we are now. in an
6:03 am
ideal scenario, it could take days or months. criminal record checks that take less than a week could ta ke that take less than a week could take ten times as long. officers say there is a risk the uk would be less safe and some suspects will slip through the net. the policing minister nick hurd said contingency plans for a no deal scenario would be moving to tried and tested alternative mechanisms. andy moore, bbc news. up to 86,000 women aged between 35 and 39 with a family history of breast cancer should receive annual mammograms, according to new research. a trial by the charity breast cancer now found that screening a younger age group detected small tumours early in comparison to the current nhs screening age of a0. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. at present, breast cancer screening is offered to women from the age of 40 is offered to women from the age of a0 who are thought to be in a moderate or higher risk because of a significant family history of the illness but a new research project
6:04 am
that extended screening to at risk women from the age of 35 found they could be real benefits. more tumours we re could be real benefits. more tumours were detected when they were sick physically smaller in size —— significantly. and before they reached the lymphatic system which can spread the disease around the body. the earlier it is found, the more treatable it is. screening finds breast cancer at an early stage before it can be seen or felt and at that stage, treatment is less invasive and the cancer is more likely to be survivable. it still remains the biggest killer of women under 50 remains the biggest killer of women under50 in remains the biggest killer of women under 50 in england and wales. more than 920 under 505 lost their lives the disease in 2017 and it is the uk's most common cancer with around 55,000 women and 350 men being diagnosed each year in the uk. the authors of the study warned that more analysis is needed on the risks, costs and benefits associated
6:05 am
with extending the screening programme. if it is made more widely available, as many as 86,000 women in the uk could be eligible but that is likely to still be some years away. police say a man held over the disappearance of missing student libby squire remains of interest to the inquiry, and is due in court on unrelated charges. the 2a—year—old has been charged with voyeurism, outraging public decency and burglary. the search for the hull university student continues after she went missing 11 days ago on a night out. four new positive tests for equine flu have been found in vaccinated thoroughbreds in newmarket, according to the british horseracing authorities. racing is on hold until at least wednesday while the sport's governing body tests horses nationwide. the suspension came after six cases of the contagious virus were discovered at donald mccain's cheshire stables. the bha is due to announce when meetings can resume this evening.
6:06 am
and later on the programme john maguire will be live from a stables in newbury. figures revealed today show more than 10 million people have been brought into workplace pensions schemes by automatic enrolment since 2012. the scheme, which requires both employers and employees to contribute, is one of the government's flagship policies. minimum contributions are due to rise from 5—8% in april. the work and pensions secretary, amber rudd, says the scheme has contributed to a change in culture in the uk. this is a good thing. people never thought they would save for a pension at this age and it is happening in a quite a big scale. normalising the approach to saving for your future and your own pension is an important change to the culture we are seeing in the uk. the defence secretary, gavin williamson, is due to announce plans today to modernise the armed forces later. he is expected to say that britain needs a bolder and stronger
6:07 am
military so it can redefine its role in the world after brexit. he'll warn that the uk must be willing to use its military power, or risk being seen as a paper tiger. officials in a remote part of russia have declared a state of emergency because of what they call "a massive invasion" of polar bears. the animals have been spotted in built—up areas of novaya zemlya more than 50 times since december. on some occasions they have entered homes and offices, and reportedly injured people inside. hunting polar bears is illegal in russia but a sanctioned cull has not been ruled out. extraordinary pictures. the favourite was the big winner at last night's baftas, with british star olivia colman taking home the prize for best actress. for the first time, the best film award went to a netflix production, the black and white mexican movie roma. our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba was at the ceremony in london. joining the duke and duchess of

6:16 am
on friday. let's take a look at today's papers. olivia colman is on the front of many papers after she won best actress at the baftas last night. here she is on the front of the telegraph, which says her film the favourite romped home after picking up seven awards. and she is also on the front of the guardian, which declares colman reigns at the baftas. the paper's lead story is of scientists warning that insect numbers are plummeting, threatening a catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems. the daily mail also leads with the baftas, with a red carpet picture of the duchess of cambridge. the main story reports on a mounting cabinet revolt over the £60 billion cost of hs2. and, like the mail, the times carries a photo of the duchess of cambridge on the red carpet. the paper's main story is the latest on brexit and possible splits in theresa may's cabinet. and here is one of the boldest looks from the grammys red carpet. cardi b became the first female solo artist to win best rap album of the year, and this
6:17 am
is her instagram post, which has got 2.5 million likes. i think it looks a little bit like... how can she walk in it? i don't understand where her legs are, are they in the tail, strapped together and therefore can't move? like from the little mermaid, she has a touch about that, doesn't she? but she was an actual mermaid, how is cardi b moving around the?” but she was an actual mermaid, how is cardi b moving around the? i bet she gets carried on, basically, and carried off. maybe there is a leg split we cannot see, or may be tiny, tiny steps. anyway, we will discuss that further later on. and michelle obama was at the grammys as well. we will look at the newspapers in business, as well. fairly quiet, but lots of chatter about who might buy
6:18 am
patisserie val, and they have said the administrators are not providing enough access to finances. it is interesting that they have been putting in quite a few bids over recent months. obviously he took over companies like house of fraser, but he was also in the running for hmv, losing out to the department, the owner of sunrise records —— lost out to doug putman. i imagine him like playing monopoly. go on, then, i will have a chain of cafes and ca ke i will have a chain of cafes and cake shops. i will put that in my empire. it is amazing, isn't it? some serious cash flows. that is the dream, though, owning a kick shop,
6:19 am
isn't it? isn't that what we will all do when we retire? nugent's buns. varies nugent's -- there is nugent‘s sausages. sarri beaten by manchester city and very unhappy leaving the pitch, he very much fear is the sack after that defeat. it is difficult because you would look at the chelsea players and think... yes, they have completely given up, haven't they? and the manager in that position, what do they do? they don't really agree with his style, don't really agree with his style, do they? they don't agree with his style, they don't particularly like him, and what can they do? he is in serious trouble at the moment. and this is a story in the telegraph, a programme you know very well, match of the day, a former presenter, paul
6:20 am
armstrong, writing about how important it is in football culture, how it has survived so long and how it has moved with the times, an interesting piece in the telegraph about how they have changed it and made it more relevant to people watching football today. do you like cheese, you lot? love it. here is a quiz question for you. how many types of different cheeses are made in britain? 27a. higher or lower? higher. 700! and top of the shop a lwa ys higher. 700! and top of the shop always cheddar. about to be beaten by brie, though. not yet. not far off. between october and december 86% of british households bought cheddar of some varying strengths. that is a whole lot of cheddar. you can't have a fridge without cheddar. it is very versatile, and that is
6:21 am
where it benefits, but soft continental cheeses like brie and camembert are there for special occasions, only 13% of people have cheddar on a special occasion. i have so many cheese that. and if you really love cheese, tonight at 7pm on bbc two, cheesemaking in we nsleydale. on bbc two, cheesemaking in wensleydale. a repeat of a programme i have done before but going out again tonight on bbc two. we actually didn't know that, everybody. woo back one of 700 kinds of cheese made in great britain, i will have you know. thank you very much, steph. i was will have you know. thank you very much, steph. iwas going will have you know. thank you very much, steph. i was going to tell you about chimpanzees, but never mind. chimp news later. nearly 1,000 files relating to the nhs contaminated blood scandal are missing from government departments, it has emerged. an internal investigation found the files have been checked out by civil servants but not returned. the government says it knows where almost all of them are and is working on getting them back, but campaigners say it shows previous ministerial statements were untrue.
6:22 am
they includejason evans, whose fatherjonathan died as a result of infected blood in 1993. hejoins us now from birmingham. good morning to you. thank you very much forjoining us. tell us a little bit about your dad and how he came to be infected by these blood samples. good morning, my father was a haemophiliac, and in the late 705, early 805, he began to use plasma derived medicine called factor eight, a5 derived medicine called factor eight, as did many or most of the haemophiliacs in this country, and it would transpire that those medicines were infected with hepatitis c and hiv, and he died as a result of those infection5 hepatitis c and hiv, and he died as a result of those infections in 1993, when i was four years old —— factor viii. and you owner have campaigned long and hard to get to the bottom of what happened and why
6:23 am
things happen. now you have heard about these mi55ing files and we understand the government has managed to find most of them, what do you make of it? well, i think the fa ct do you make of it? well, i think the fact they have found them is really nothing. i mean, ithink it absolutely incredible that we have been through two enquiries, one of them not being 5tatutory, in this country, and neither of those enquiries would have had access to the5e enquiries would have had access to these 1000 files. and bear in mind, when we say 1000 files we are not talking about 1000 documents, we are talking about 1000 documents, we are talking about 1000 folder5 talking about 1000 documents, we are talking about 1000 folders of document5, talking about 1000 folders of documents, and in my experience each one of those folder5 contains anywhere from 100 to 300 individual document5, anywhere from 100 to 300 individual documents, so we are talking about tens of thousands or perhaps hundreds of thousands of documents related to this scandal that until now have not seen the light of day. i think it is terrible that we have had a number of health ministers who have said all the documents are read in the public or they have been destroyed, and clearly that was
6:24 am
never the case —— either in the public or they have been destroyed. people have gone to their graves searching for the truth, over 1500 confirmed deaths from this, and the way it has been 5wept under the carpet is outrageous. you give us an idea of the scale of what you think might be there. what do you want to happen now with these files? presumably you would like to know what is in them. of course, myself and my research partner, andrew march, we have spent a lot of time at places like the national archive going through the document which are publicly available, and with the enquiry, more documents have been transferred to the enquiry. but we wa nt to transferred to the enquiry. but we want to see what is in these files. i would allege and many would allege the government a negligent for what happened. we would allege there was a cover—up, the department of of health 5aid a cover—up, the department of of health said last year they believe that best there was a lack of candour and at worst a cover—up —— department of health. we believe there needs to be an apology for what has happened here and also just
6:25 am
transparency. i am sure the department of health will provide some kind of statement saying they are now transparent, and they want to work with the enquiry, but it is 5imply to work with the enquiry, but it is simply not good enough. and ifound they are nothing but a cover—up factory, and if it wasn't for people like danielle holiday and de5 collins at: solicitor5, we never would have got as far as we have.” can see you are struggling with your earpiece, but thank you for talking to us —— collins solicitor5. and there is a government statement saying we are committed to being open and transparent with the enquiry and have waived the usual legal privilege to assist the process. we have sent thousand5 legal privilege to assist the process. we have sent thousands of documents to the enquiry and will continue to send more when nece55a ry. you are watching breakfast. still to come this morning: women have dominated this year's grammys. we will bring you the highlights from the music awards in la. we were wondering how she managed to
6:26 am
walk in that wonderful dre55, we were wondering how she managed to walk in that wonderful dress, and i don't really know how to describe that. shuffle? i think it is don't really know how to describe that. shuffle? ithink it is a shuffle, yes. pigeon 5teps. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. two people have been killed following a police car chase in west london. the car being pursued last night was being driven down the wrong side of the aao in west acton when it crashed into a coach. police say they were responding to reports of an aggravated burglary in harrow. an investigation is underway. in the last half—hour, it has been announced that knife crime offenders in four london boroughs will be fitted with gps tracking devices to reduce violent crime. the mayor of london say5 the 12—month pilot scheme shows london is leading the way on pioneering enforcement work. lewisham, lambeth, croydon and southwark are all involved in the trial. members of the art world

6:31 am
a lot of letters at westminster. normally with people disagreeing on what they think about brexit. this one is slightly different because theresa may is leaving the door open to some sort of confident —— compromise to try and win over some labour mp5 over the next few weeks. let's look at what theresa may thinks she agrees withjeremy corbyn on. the first thing is that that there needs to be a deal. we need to leave the eu with some sort of arrangement in place on what the future looks like. she thinks that that deal, they both agree, needs to honour commitments to northern ireland. that basically means of avoiding a hardboard and third and probably the hardest of all of them is making sure that deal can get through the house of commons it is also agreeable with europe. the fact
6:32 am
they agree on most things doesn't mean there will be white smoke and everybody will get on board. there are still big differences. the one you mentioned on trade. theresa may thinksjeremy corbyn you mentioned on trade. theresa may thinks jeremy corbyn wants you mentioned on trade. theresa may thinksjeremy corbyn wants to close a relationship which will stop us from doing further trade deals. it will provide the benefit without the constraints, theresa may's deal. she still has massive amounts of work to do. she has the huge loss of last month to try and overturned that pa rt month to try and overturned that part of the policy she has got now is not just part of the policy she has got now is notjust winning over her own mp5 but trying to get labour ones too. there's a warning this morning that britain would be "less safe" in the event of a no—deal brexit. the man in charge of police preparations, deputy assistant commissioner richard martin, says things like criminal records checks could take ten times as long. a team of 50 people are in in place to deal with the loss of policing tools like the european arrest warrant. it will cost 5.6 million pounds for the first year. up to 86,000 women aged between 35

but would you go this far? pascale sellick, who is an artist, has "married" her duvet in a ceremony to promote love and self—care before valentine's day. around 120 people attended the wedding in exeter, all wearing bedroom attire. the marriage is not legally binding but we hope they will have many happy years tog—ether. that's quite low down the list of duvetjokes. that's quite low down the list of

and hearts beat lower league opposition. scott sinclair was another man with a hattrick as celtic beat stjohnstone 5—0. scott brown claiming the pick of the goals with his first in2years. celtic have now won 2a consecutive domestic cup games under manager brenden rodgers. in the women's super league, leaders manchester city were thwarted by a late equaliser from chelsea. ji so yung scored twice, including this free kick a minute from time, as the reigning champions came from behind to secure a 2—2 draw. the six nations table is pleasant viewing this morning if you're an england rugby fan with both men's and women's sides beating france to go top of their respective competitions england's men produced a destructive first half withjonny may scoring a hattrick inside 30 minutes at twickenham. the aa—8 win earned england a bonus point too and takes them two points clear of wales before the two meet in cardiff in a fortnight. the women ran in seven tries in doncaster. france are the defending champions having won the grand slam last year but with the game billed as a title decider, england led 2a—0 at half time before running out a1—26 winners. england are in control after day two
6:40 am
of the 3rd and final test in the west indies. they bowled the home side out cheaply in st lucia. stuart broad's brilliant catch helped. mark wood took five wickets and england's batsmen survived the final overs to give them a healthy lead going into day three. now when you score a hattrick in football, tradition dictates that you get to keep the ball. referee mike dean thought he'd try to tease sergio aguero after his performance against chelsea by hiding it up the back of his shirt. not very well hidden that said — and aguero was too wise for his antics. also if you watch that game back, mike dean gives an elaborate penalty
6:41 am
decision. shall we get it? imagine the most elaborate point for a penalty you'd ever seen. —— pointing. the grenfell tower fire in 2016 which killed 72 people raised lots of concerns about the safety of tower blocks, among them was the absence of a sprinkler system. the london fire brigade insists all purpose built residential blocks, and buildings which house vulnerable people, should have sprinklers fitted, and it's urging the government to stop developers from ignoring the recommendation. the brigade's deputy assistant commissioner lee drawbridgejoins us now. let's be clear. what are you calling for? as you have said, the government are reviewing legislation in respect to building regulations and the land and fire brigade would like to ask that they —— london fire
6:42 am
brigade would like to ask about sprinkler systems particularly buildings over six floors. in care homes and sheltered housing and those homes where the most vulnerable people in our society live. we know that sprinklers save lives. they detect fire in the early stage and attack the fire in the early stages of its development was exactly why they can help save lives of the most vulnerable in our society. why are some buildings being built without them? are they getting independent expert advice and been told its not necessary or is ata and been told its not necessary or is at a cost saving thing? that's why we want legislation firmed up. building legislators do consult us but all too often we are finding our advice around the installation of sprinklers is being ignored and in some cases we believe that in pursuit of profit rather than public
6:43 am
safety. give us an idea of, i don't know if you could talk about a specificjob know if you could talk about a specific job you have know if you could talk about a specificjob you have attended where sprinklers could have made a difference? there are numerous exa m ples of difference? there are numerous examples of where sprinklers have to prevented external fires affecting the residential parts of the premises. most recently in melbourne last week there was an external fire rise fire went sprinklers prevented it coming into the building. it is about protecting vulnerable people, asi about protecting vulnerable people, as i said earlier. we know through fire investigation that the people that are dying in fires demonstrate very similar characteristics in the same factors which is around smoking, around alcohol, around mobility issues and the elderly and they are very much the factors that prevent them escaping in that event ofa prevent them escaping in that event of a fire and sprinklers would attack that fire in the early stages and give them a better chance of survival. the government actually say that the sprinklers are required
6:44 am
in all new high—rise residential buildings but for you that's not enough? that is correct. they are required in new high—rise residential buildings over 30 metres. we would like to see that extended to high—rise buildings over 18 buildings for new and existing properties and as i said, the other premise is being talked about and we are asking for people just, the ferny legislation exists in wales and scotland —— firmer. ferny legislation exists in wales and scotland -- firmer. cost of retrofitting the older buildings is prohibitive, surely? the london fire brigade has supported some schemes over the last year. we funded one point £5 million to install sprinklers in old properties.
6:45 am
evidence has shown that can be done for a lot cheaper. here is carol with a look at this morning's weather. and that is a really beautiful... i don't know if it is a sunset or sunrise, but it looks lovely. good morning, it is a sunrise. this week will be different to this time last week, it was wet, unsettled and snow in the forecast as well. this week with high pressure in charge things will be much quieter, dry weather but as the fronts penetrate that high weather, there will be some sunshine around. there is a ridge of high—pressure and a weak weather front across the north—east of england at the moment. that producing some showers. some of those wintry on higher ground. that could sink down to lincolnshire and east anglia before it clears. a lot of dry weather, ice is a risk across the far north of scotland so do take extra ca re, the far north of scotland so do take extra care, and you can see a
6:46 am
weather front coming in from the west introducing a bit more cloud. so the sunshine turning hazy and then some patchy light rain. the wind strengthening across the north—west as well. temperatures at 11 in plymouth, ten in london and five in aberdeen, note that five in aberdeen. as we head through the evening and overnight our weather front continues to come in from the west, introducing a lot more cloud. we will have some persistent rain for a time from that weather front, asa for a time from that weather front, as a result it will not be as called for most of us. having said that, no heat wave, newcastle freezing. in the south—east in rural parts it to be told in a clear skies for a touch of frost and some patchy fog. as we go through the rest of the week, still under the influence of high—pressure. this is the jetstrea m, high—pressure. this is the jetstream, going over the top of it, allowing the high—pressure underneath it, and you can see all this mild air moving right the way across the british isles, as indicated by the yellow. tuesday sta rts indicated by the yellow. tuesday starts off with a fog that will lift, this weather front moving across scotland will pep up for a
6:47 am
time, and then it moves out of northern england and northern ireland and it will brighten up for you. still quite windy and breezy for the rest of the uk. temperatures in aberdeen, remember the five today, we are looking at ten tomorrow and as we push further south, ten to 12 but belfast getting up south, ten to 12 but belfast getting up to 13. the wednesday into thursday, high—pressure starts to slip over towards the south—west of the uk, but it is dominating our weather. one look at the isobars will tell you it is a windy day, especially in the north—west, and with the arrival of a weather front, we are likely to see some rain. the rain not particularly heavy, so the haziest sunshine in the north, sunny skies as we push further out, and temperatures roughly ten or 11. so these temperatures are higher than we would expect at this stage in february. then for thursday, valentine's day, just in case you have forgotten, a lot of dry weather around, afair have forgotten, a lot of dry weather around, a fair bit of sunshine as well, our weather front out towards the west and highs of ten to 12. so
6:48 am
the west and highs of ten to 12. so the weather remaining fairly settled for much of the week.” the weather remaining fairly settled for much of the week. i like a little valentine's mentioned, thank you for reminding us all. thursday, forgot about that one. steph is looking at some important economic figures. yes, a lot of people will be wondering what has been happening with our economy. we will get those figures at about 9:30am this morning. but what can we expect? today we will get an update on how the economy has been doing, when the office for national statistics gives us the latest gdp figures. to remind you, gross domestic product gives us a value of the goods and services produced in the uk, so they have measured up everything we have been making and selling over 2018, and compared that to the previous year. so what are we expecting? linda yueh, economist and author, joins me now. thank you very much forjoining us.
6:49 am
good morning. so what are your thoughts on how the economy is doing? there is certainly a slowdown in the economy, and we are expecting that in the figures, but pace of slowdown has probably halved since the third quarter, so that as from july to september of last year. so we are looking at about 0.3% growth in the last three months of the year. now, part of that is a natural slowdown in the business cycle. so of course, things don't always stay up, we have cycles. but of course, one of the worrying things is the growth rate in the economy, so what our potential growth rate is, has also slowed, so that is why i think we should also be paying attention to how much of this deceleration is because we came off a great summer, the world cup, warm weather, and how much is the new normal, slower growth. so we are still growing but not as much as the past. what are the main reasons of that? well, we
6:50 am
should be growing about 1.5%, but if you recall, before the crash, we we re you recall, before the crash, we were growing around 2%, so there is a slowdown in terms of potential, and that is related to productivity, output per worker, and that is a complicated question. we're not really sure what the causes are, but it includes our firms investing enough, workers being skilled enough. so that is part of the general worrying picture of how much have we really got, in terms of potential growth, and are we investing in the right things? the second part of it is that the us is slowing down, so the global economy is slowing down. italy is in recession, germany has had a negative quarter of contraction, and the economy has gotten smaller in the economy has gotten smaller in the latest figures. the us property peaked in terms of its growth rate last year. so we are part of the
6:51 am
global economy and the whole thing is so quickly slowing down, so trying to disentangle those two will be what we look for in the figures. so what are your thoughts on what will happen in the future? it is cyclical, and we seem to be heading down at the moment, what are your thoughts on when that might turn and things get to regain?” thoughts on when that might turn and things get to regain? i am definitely for looking forward, in terms of what this means. i think this year growth rates for the economy will be slower than last year. so the bank of england, which is the most recent forecast we have, is the most recent forecast we have, is slower than 2018. and the bank of england forecast there would be a one infour england forecast there would be a one in four chance of a recession. but that is not their central forecast, let's be very clear. i think one of the things to really watch for is can the economy slowed down but not get us into a recession? we have just down but not get us into a recession? we havejust come down but not get us into a recession? we have just come out of a very slow recovery, and i think the expectation is probably yes, with a lot of uncertainty around what is happening with brexit
6:52 am
investment, a deal, all of that will play a part. i think wash we should look for is for this year a slowdown —— what we should look for, and depending on how things go, the cycle turns. the pattern is long periods of expansion and short periods of expansion and short periods of expansion and short periods of either recession or slowdown, and if policymakers can get it right, hopefully we will be ina get it right, hopefully we will be in a short period of slowdown. the biggest awards ceremony in the music industry, the grammys, took place in los angeles last night. the night was dominated by women, with a surprise appearance from formerfirst lady michelle obama. dua lipa flew the flag for british music, winning the award for best new artist. this was the grammys' response to

6:58 am

north—west. more details in 15 minutes. it's monday 11th february. our top story: the prime minister has said she's willing to hold further talks with jeremy corbyn about the five labour demands for supporting a brexit deal. but in a letter to mr corbyn, theresa may appears to have rejected one of his key proposals — for the uk to be in a customs union. our political correspondent nick eardley is in westminster. there are a lot of letters flying about. they have been a week. this one perhaps not like some of the others because it is not about an argument, it's not about saying i wa nt argument, it's not about saying i want this and you want that, it is about potentially opening the door to compromise. they agree on the fa ct to compromise. they agree on the fact that there needs to be a deal that gets through parliament and
7:02 am
looking for what the future might looking for what the future might look like. also keeping our commitment to northern ireland and avoiding the ha rdboa rd commitment to northern ireland and avoiding the hardboard we have spent so much time talking about is the last two weeks —— hard border. also getting a deal that will get through parliament that wins the backing of the eu. there are also real differences. the main one you mentioned is trade. theresa may is worried thatjeremy corbyn's plan for trade means we wait be able to sign our own deals. some in her own party will be furious if she got on board with jeremy party will be furious if she got on board withjeremy corbyn's thinking on this but it shows she is keeping the door open and wants more talks with the labour leader. it's all about bolstering her numbers. remember, she lost that huge defeat last month, the biggest the government has ever faced and she needs to win over a lot of mp5 so she's not looking at the
7:03 am
conservatives, she is looking at labour, too. we're joined now by our brussels reporter, adam fleming. good morning, adam. talks between stephen berkley and michel barnier. the brexit secretary will be having dinner tonight. it is like that brexit talks have started again. the eu side are saying it's more of an opportunity for them, the eu, to hear the uk's ideas rather than renegotiating the deal that's on the table. and is certainly not the divorce treaty that has the backstop of the irish border in it. stephen berkley will be here talking about the ideas for the backstop. if it ever happened, would you put a time limit on when it will end and could you have a mechanism by when ——by which the uk could decide on its own to come out of the backstop and
7:04 am
other alternatives to the backstop altogether that you could look at? they will be discussing those ideas with michel barnier and michel barnier will be listening but as i said, the eu are not prepared to rewrite the backstop. where there is room for manoeuvre, though, is the other document going alongside the divorce deal which is known as the political deck you laid in which shapes the future relationship. —— declaration. the eu are prepared to make changes to that to be more in line with the timetable and what they are prepared to do to negotiate they are prepared to do to negotiate the future trade deal during the transition period which feels like the backstop is less likely to be used. i think we will get a lot of chatting and a lot of eating tonight but not a lot of negotiating. there's a warning this morning that britain would be "less safe" in the event of a no—deal brexit. the man in charge of police preparations, deputy assistant commissioner richard martin, says things like criminal records checks could take ten times as long.
7:05 am
a team of 50 people are in in place to deal with the loss of policing tools like the european arrest warrant. it will cost 5.6 million pounds for the first year. up to 86,000 women aged between 35 and 39 with a family history of breast cancer should receive annual mammograms, according to new research. a trial by the charity breast cancer now found that screening a younger age group detected small tumours early in comparison to the current nhs screening age of a0. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. at present, breast cancer screening is offered to women from the age of a0 who are thought to be at a moderate or higher risk because of a significant family history of the illness but a new research project that extended screening to at risk women from the age of 35 found there could be real benefits. more tumours were detected when they were significantly smaller in size and before they reached the lymphatic system which can spread the disease around the body. the earlier breast cancer is found,
7:06 am
the more treatable it is. screening finds breast cancer at a really early stage, before it can be seen or felt and at that stage, treatment is less invasive and the cancer is more likely to be survivable. more people are surviving breast cancer than ever before, but it remains the biggest killer of women under 50 in england and wales. more than 920 under 505 lost their lives to the disease in 2017 and it's the uk's most common cancer with around 55,000 women and 350 men being diagnosed each year in the uk. the authors of the study warn that more analysis is needed on the risks, costs and benefits associated with extending the screening programme. if it is made more widely available, as many as 86,000 women in the uk could be eligible but that's likely to still be some yea rs away. dominic hughes, bbc news.
7:07 am
we will talk to some guests a bit later about that as well. police say a man held over the disappearance of missing student libby squire remains of interest to the inquiry, and is due in court on unrelated charges. the 2a—year—old has been charged with voyeurism, outraging public decency and burglary. the search for the hull university student continues after she went missing 11 days ago on a night out. four new positive tests for equine flu have been found in vaccinated thoroughbreds in newmarket, according to the british horseracing authorities. racing is on hold until at least wednesday while the sport's governing body tests horses nationwide. the suspension came after six cases of the contagious virus were discovered at donald mccain's cheshire stables. the bha is due to announce when meetings can resume this evening. and later on the programme john maguire will be live from a stables in newbury. the favourite was the big winner at last night's baftas, with british star olivia colman

7:11 am
last month that red lines could be shifted. are they shifting and if so, which ones? what is happening here is not shifting of red lines stop the prime minister remains clear and thinks a major economy like the uk is to be able to make its own trade deals so she disagrees with jeremy corbyn that we need its own trade deals so she disagrees withjeremy corbyn that we need to enter a permanent customs union but we also have a lot more common ground and people may have acknowledged like workers rights, making sure we get investment into areas of the country. i think it's a positive step and it's about trying to help, i think, positive step and it's about trying to help, ithink, both positive step and it's about trying to help, i think, both labour and conservatives that there isn't as much as divides us as people are suggesting. ) jet that it is an admission that she will need a lot of support from labour to get through? ——is it an admission?
7:12 am
of support from labour to get through? --is it an admission? we will need support around the house. last time, the vote came forward. there were only 200 votes so we need, by definition, to get at least 326 mp5 onside. and part of that is making sure we reach across the house and have real consensus on what we want for britain. the times this morning talking about soft brexit talks with labour risking a cabinet split. what's going on in cabinet? is it happening, our people threatening to resign? you would have seen a lot of reports about this. i don't think actually anybody is going to reside but there are clearly too different positions. "2. clearly too different positions. ——2. people are on ideal site and people are on the customs union side. you can see it right the way through parliament that the prime minister's line is cleared and has been clear from the beginning which is that she feels very strongly that the withdrawal agreement is the right free —— fryett framework ——
7:13 am
framework. so people are thinking about resigning? you'll make we have had reports of it, nobody has told me that you have heard reports. --we have had reports. there are 650 different views from 650 different mp5 so we are not going to pretend that everything is easy but i do think we are closer to an agreement now than we were two months ago.” wa nt to now than we were two months ago.” want to ask you about other things to do with brexit. the man in charge of police preparations, richard martin, saying today, a warning that britain will be less safe in the event of an no—deal brexit. what is your response to that? well, it's true that one of the reasons we are pushing very hard to avoid an no—deal brexit and one of the reasons i would welcome the constructive tone thatjeremy corbyn is taking is that in policing, as in another —— a number of other areas, leaving without a transition period, if there is no deal, leaving in
7:14 am
march with nothing in place, will cause changes and one of those is sharing information systems which the police use. obviously, he is talking about putting in preparations. in your view, at what stage are they? are they at the right stage where they should be?” think the preparations are at the right stage. we have set up a national quarter nations setter and set up extra funding for the police. —— national centre. we would go on to the interpol system which is something we would use with the us and canada and that would mean in order to arrest a criminal on the street who had been charged in another country, you would need a warrant from the magistrates which we don't currently need under the european arrest warrant system, the police can take them on other preparations, we know that the so—called brexit contract has fallen through, chris grayling has
7:15 am
been told to consider his position because of this, should he go? no, i think some of this has been a bit unfair, this contract was awarded with a lot of support from deloitte, from a lot of government legal experts. this was a contract backed byaa experts. this was a contract backed by a a major irish transport company, and the major backer, the irish transport company, has decided to withdraw from the deal. but there are other deals in place, and i think the government is covering this well. there have been some concerns and i wanted to ask if you shared these concerns, expressed by some mp5 regarding a law on female genital mutilations. do you share their concerns? i do, female genital mutilation is obviously a horrifying thing that literally, physically and emotionally scarred someone for life, and i think this was something i deeply disagree with that christopher did, i think this was the type of legislation we should be taking through, and he should not
7:16 am
have been blocking it. thank you for your time on breakfast this morning. if you fancy a stroll on the beach, we can't do that for you, but carol has a picture of the beach, nevertheless. good morning, isn't it knew the full? this is a stock picture from our library, and today it isa picture from our library, and today it is a cold start, if you are strolling down the beach first thing, wrap up warmly. but there will be a fair bit of sunshine, albeit hazy at times. high pressure is firmly in charge of our weather, a big bridge of it across our shores. later this weather front will come into the west, introducing thicker cloud, turning the sunshine hazy and some of us will see some rain. there are a few showers across north—east england, some of those wintry on the hills, and through the morning they will slip through lincolnshire and east anglia before clearing away. so a lot of dry

weather, sunny spells turning hazy through the day. as this cloud approaches, bringing some rain and strengthening winds across the north—west. temperatures today, seven in stornoway, five in aberdeen, ten or 11 as we pushed down towards plymouth and cardiff. through the evening and overnight weather front continues to move eastwards with all this cloud, the rain turning that bit heavy for a time. in the south and parts of the east we will hang onto some clearer skies. this is where we will see some lower temperatures, especially some lower temperatures, especially so in rural areas. there is the potential in pockets for some frost and patchy mist and fog across the south—east. that leads us into milder conditions. so watch how these yellows push across our charts. the jet stream these yellows push across our charts. thejet stream is these yellows push across our charts. the jet stream is to the north of us, allowing high pressure to dominate weather, and with that come the milder conditions. so first thing on tuesday we have the fog to get rid of. there will be quite a bit of cloud around, also from a weather front this rain coming bit of cloud around, also from a weatherfront this rain coming in. it will tap up for a time before it clears scotland and northern ireland, moving and across northern england and north wales. behind it
7:18 am
are either skies, some sunshine, check out that temperatures in aberdeen, today five, tomorrow ten, and ahead of the cloud will build and ahead of the cloud will build and any sunshine will turn that bit hazy. looking at highs of 12. the top of the chart is belfast at 13, the temperatures— this stage in february. by wednesday high—pressure edges to the south—east of us, high pressure on the chart means a windy day with france approaching, one heading north across scotland and one coming in from the west. both producing cloud and patchy light rain. more cloud ahead of it means it will be a bright day rather than a sunny it will be a bright day rather than a sunny one it will be a bright day rather than a sunny one across scotland and northern ireland, but the england and the wales we still hang on to the sunshine and temperatures across the sunshine and temperatures across the board widely ten to 11. by thursday, we still have high—pressure exerting its influence, the wind coming up from the south so it will be a mild day, a dry day, and also there will be a fair bit of sunshine around. thank you very much. let's take a look at today's papers.
7:19 am
olivia colman is on the front of many papers after she won best actress at the baftas last night. here she is on the front of the telegraph, which says her film the favourite romped home after picking up seven awards. and she is also on the front of the guardian, which declares colman reigns at the baftas. the paper's lead story is of scientists warning that insect numbers are plummeting, threatening a catastrophic collapse of nature's ecosystems. the daily mail also leads with the baftas, with a red carpet picture of the duchess of cambridge. the main story reports on a mounting cabinet revolt over the £60 billion cost of hs2. and, like the mail, the times carries a photo of the duchess of cambridge on the red carpet. the paper's main story is the latest on brexit, and possible splits in theresa may's cabinet. and here is one of the boldest looks from the grammys red carpet. cardi b became the first female solo artist to win best rap album of the year, and this is her instagram post,
7:20 am
which has got 2.5 million likes. and steph will be glad to know we have discovered how she walks. because you can't see in that picture she has a full on mermaid tail. so how does she walk? slowly. i wonder if she had trainers on underneath. i spotted a heeled shoe, and tiny steps, almost so small it looked like she was floating along. that is what those celebs are good at, aren't they? any fan of the little mermaid, she was channelling sealer. and we are talking about pensions. millions more of us are now contributing to our retirement after some changes to the way pensions are run. yes, you may remember if we rewind
7:21 am
back to 2012, we started to get automatic pensions, and the idea would be that workers would be automatically enrolled to a pension by the companies unless they chose to opt out. the hope with that would be that more people would save on what the government is saying today is that they think it has been a success. they say 10 million people now are enrolled in a new workplace pensions scheme. one of the issues around it in one of the concerns people had was whether their muggy was actually safe. we have talked a lot, haven't we, about company colla pses lot, haven't we, about company collapses and that affecting pensions, the likes of carillion and vhs, and amber rudd saying she is trying to get back in full plans to punish company directors who are reckless with pension muggy —— bhs. the idea being that it is now a criminal offence, that is what she is hoping to get the backing for,
7:22 am
and there could be put in prison for up and there could be put in prison for up to seven years. so this is all about trying to tell people we want your pensions to be safe and we really wa nt your pensions to be safe and we really want you to save so you have a better retirement in the future. thank you very much, and we will see you later. it is the second—highest—attended sport in the uk, but horse racing is facing its biggest crisis in almost 20 years after an outbreak of equine flu forced the industry to shut down. ten cases of the contagious virus have emerged across the country, with more than 100 stables on lockdown. john maguire is in newbury for us this morning. very good morning. good morning, with a friend, indeed. we are at these stables in newbury. there is a military operation, these racing sta bles, military operation, these racing stables, many of the horses going out for their early morning run out, but most of these horses are just
7:23 am
enjoying getting up first thing in the morning, wondering what on earth we are up the morning, wondering what on earth we are up to. three gentlemen who can give us a real insight into what the situation is at the moment, andrew balding, simon, and jason, a vet and jockey respectively. the situation has been going on forfive or six days or something. what sort of impact is it having, do you think, and are you concerned? well, obviously concerned, but it is a story that is developing obviously as we go along. as a racing yard, we have to continue to do the health checks that we do on a regular basis anyway. as you know, there is no racing at the moment, which is having an impact on us, and we are waiting here today. we should know by breakfast time whether they are contented to keep that as the case or whether we can start racing again. but the horses are going out, because you are sort of self—contained, is that right? because you are sort of self-contained, is that right? yes, we are not currently under any lockdown, but the horses will be
7:24 am
exercised as normal, we are trying to avoid troubling them or taking new horses in at the moment. keeping our highs out for the signs of anything that might be wrong. and simon, bio security is obviously very serious in this industry. we talk a lot about it being similar to human flu, so the strains change, the vaccines change. this is a strain we know about. the current thinking is this might be a slightly more virulent strain, which is why we are being cautious. the vaccines ta ke we are being cautious. the vaccines take a long time to come onto the market, but looking at the history, the vaccines have been very successful. racing is very diligent about vaccination, and trainers are very diligent about bio security. they take temperatures daily, they monitor horses, they isolate them when they come in, so racing itself has been very diligent. is there any precedent for this? can we guess, can we speculate? we can look at
7:25 am
history, which is always helpful. we had an outbreak in 2003 which was confined pretty well to new market, and you go back then to about 1989, so every and you go back then to about 1989, so every 15 or 16 years we get an incursion into the thoroughbred world —— incursion into the thoroughbred world — — newmarket. incursion into the thoroughbred world —— newmarket. ithink the thing to note is that 70% of horses in this country are not vaccinated, so in this country are not vaccinated, so it is not surprising we get a rare incursion into the thoroughbred world. are very quick word with jason, and you are wearing a support because you have had an accident and broken your back, you hope to return to racing soon, so you are obviously a jockey, what is the mood like amongst your colleagues at the moment? obviously we are all worried as to when we are going to be able to get back riding, because it is taking away our income, but we are very fortunate that we have the bha, the horseracing authority, supplying us the horseracing authority, supplying us with the professionaljockeys association and loads of other communities that will help us out in
7:26 am
these sorts of times, these rare times. and luckily, jockeys can earn money that way, but to be honest, from what we have heard, it is not as severe as what it could be, so hopefully it won't be summoned to worry about. hopefully not long until you are back in the saddle as well. thank you very much indeed. more from us at the stables in newbury later on, very much a fluid situation, a moveable feast. we will have to wait and see and also wait and see what the bha say this morning. so much to look forward to, we have the baftas, the grammys. really looking forward to meeting former police dog finn, he was badly injured saving his handler. is that bya injured saving his handler. is that by a thief they were chasing, and when the thief went to go and attack his handler, he jumped when the thief went to go and attack his handler, hejumped in when the thief went to go and attack his handler, he jumped in front of a knife and saved his life. and also,
7:27 am
many of us have smart devices in our homes, i won't say the word because it will set them all off. does it begin with a? yes, that one.“ it will set them all off. does it begin with a? yes, that one. if you are worried about fraud, and a big issue of how people can use your smart devices for their own ends, we have an interesting report coming up for you later as well. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning, i'm asad ahmad. two people have been killed following a police car chase in west london. the car being pursued last night was being driven down the wrong side of the aao in west acton when it crashed into a coach. police say they were responding to reports of an aggravated burglary in harrow. an investigation is underway. in the last half—hour, it has been announced that knife crime offenders in four london boroughs will be fitted with gps tracking devices to reduce violent crime. the mayor of london says the 12—month pilot scheme shows london is leading the way on pioneering enforcement work. lewisham, lambeth, croydon and southwark are all involved

7:38 am
a cold start to the day but sunshine developing. hazy at times as cot —— cloud comes in from the west. the region of high pressure across our shores so things are settled when you compare this week's weather to last week's. at times we will have weather fronts coming in from the west introducing rain. this morning we have showers across parts of yorkshire, thinking southwards with height. some will be wintry but will save a weather front in from the west will introduce a initially more cloud and then we will see rain and the wind will strengthen. the sunshine turning hazy, temperature white, five in aberdeen to 11 in plymouth. overnight, a weatherfront crosses us plymouth. overnight, a weatherfront crosses us and takes the cloud and rain with it. the rain turning heavier at times across scotland but there will be holes in the cloud.
7:39 am
especially in rural areas, it will sink. in some pockets, a touch of frost. we also could see some mist and fog by the end of the night. the jet stream is to the north of us at the moment and high pressure is dominating our weather. things are settled and mild areas coming our way. you notice a big difference in the temperatures is weak compare to last week. tomorrow morning, the fog will lift and then a bright start in some eastern areas but already a a weather front pushes and southwards across northern england. we will get into eastern parts of the uk. behind it, brightening up to the north of scotla nd it, brightening up to the north of scotland but ahead of it, brighter skies especially in the south—east. don't forget cloud bills and head of this so the sunshine will turn hazy. —— builds. 13 in belfast tomorrow and 12 in london. as we head into
7:40 am
wednesday, high pressure still dominates the weather but it slips to the south—east. an array of isobars and to weather fronts. translated, it means it will be a breezy day for most. windy in the north. here is the weather front pushing northwards. a second one comes in from the west introducing more cloud, some patchy light rain and whether but for england and wales, some brighter skies with some sunshine. temperatures widely in double figures. by the time you get to thursday, a lot of dry weather with southerly winds coming our way. temperatures are still in double figures. two bridges above average for this stage in february. —— temperatures. when rose and charlotte turpie's mother died from breast cancer at the age of 39, the twins discovered they were carrying a gene which meant they were at risk of developing the disease too, so they both had double mastectomies, and are calling for women with a family history of the disease to be screened earlier than the recommended age of a0.
7:41 am
rosie and charlotte are with us now, along with fiona hazell from the charity breast cancer now. thank you for coming in. we will come to the pair of you first. tell us come to the pair of you first. tell us about your mum. how old was she at how much of a shock was it? it she was 32 when she was diagnosed and she died at 39 so we were ten yea rs and she died at 39 so we were ten years old. -- she was 32. when you are that young, you just live through it so it is only now that we appreciate what that means. when did you discover that you have the gene that might give you breast cancer? we we re that might give you breast cancer? we were 26. it's quite a decision to be tested. it is better to know and act upon it than not be able to find it out. in terms of that decision to have a double mastectomy, did you discuss it amongst yourselves or is it something you came to
7:42 am
independently? we had to have bid of time to get used to be idea ourselves because we are very different people so although we came to the same decision, we both need at that time with our friends and family separately and then we came together and obviously both check —— chose the same thing. and you are real supporters of early screening, aren't you? present and will always be better than cure. —— aren't you? present and will always be betterthan cure. —— prevention will. the better chance of survival you have. explain to you what you found from this trial. the research shows that you can detect breast cancer in women with a family history of breast cancer earlier when it's less likely to spread through annual mammography. it is really critical for women like charlotte and rose. they are around five and 15% of breast cancers
7:43 am
likely due to family history. actually around 900 women die under the age of 50. for women like charlotte and rose, there are few options when it comes to early detection. this research is really, really critical and really significant in showing that you can detect these cancers earlier and give women like charlotte and rose the best chance of survival. the numbers are quite something. 80,000 women, it says, could benefit if it was extended, the screening programme. absolutely and it points to the fact that around 5— 15% of breast cancers each gear are due to family history. if the screening was rolled out, it could benefit these women. “— rolled out, it could benefit these women. —— each year. 11,500 women are still dying each year and while survival has improved, if we want to stop these women dying, we have got to reach women who are at the highest risk and that includes women with a family history who are hired moderate risk. —— higherand
7:44 am
moderate risk. —— higherand moderate risk. —— higherand moderate risk. did either of you think twice about getting it done, was it a difficult decision to come to? i don't think it was difficult. when you have lost someone, so important, and knowing that i would wa nt important, and knowing that i would want children and the thought of my georgian being ——me being taken away from my children early, for us, it wasn't a question. there are other options will stop was a relief then when you both decided at the same time? i think you said it, it would be hard if one had the gene and one had to watch. the hat to watch rose go through it. —— was it a relief?” ta ke go through it. —— was it a relief?” take my hat off to both of you, i really do. these two knew they were at risk.
7:45 am
how do you know if you are at moderate or high risk of cancer?“ you have a family history, you are likely to have a number of relatives who have had breast cancer or ovarian cancer or a number of relatives who have had breast cancer under the age of a0, and i think charlotte and rose, that is what they knew. so it is about understanding what history you have in yourfamily, and then going on seeing your gp. and you get referred to the specialist unit.” seeing your gp. and you get referred to the specialist unit. i was going to the specialist unit. i was going to ask you that, if anyone is watching thinking i am concerned about this or this is something we have talked about in our family, is that the first step? it is really important in terms of awareness and knowledge to talk about breast cancer and know whether you have a family history. a small proportion of breast cancers are caused by family history but in that group you are at significant greater risk. so it is important to talk about it and if you think you might have a family history of breast cancer, go and talk to your gp about it and they can advise you. and obviously we
7:46 am
talk about the funding of the nhs the whole time. so how likely is this to be extended, the screening programmes? we hope in time it will be, but we need to do more research. we would be urging the government and nhs england to look at the evidence which has come out of this research, there is currently a review of the screening programme about to start and that is about trying to make sure it is fit for purpose now and in the future. so we would really encourage them to look at the evidence which is coming out today and see what else they need to know in order to put it into practice. thank you for coming in. it is not easy to come in and talk about this, but you have done a really good job. it is always a bit daunting to come on and talk about this ina daunting to come on and talk about this in a tv studio, but it has been lovely to have you on, i am sure many people have benefited from you coming on and telling your story, as well. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the headlines: theresa may reject‘s labour's call for the uk to stay in a customs union with the eu post—brexit, but welcomes further talks with jeremy corbyn. a new trial suggests that women with a family history of breast
7:47 am
cancer could benefit from screening earlier, in their mid—305 instead of from the age of a0. they are called smart devices. more and more of us have them in our homes to help us play music or control the heating. but could they be hacked? steph has been looking into this for us. it isn'tjust our computers and phones connected to the internet these days. gadgets are taking over our households, from virtual assistants to so—called smart fridges and heating systems. but how vulnerable are they to being hacked? a bbc investigation has looked into this and found some really worrying flaws. jo taylor has been looking into this. light, heat, make coffee. it is all being done in our smartphone these days. this house has over 200 internet connected devices in it.
7:48 am
alexa, living room, evening, on. but how secure are they? ken munro and his team are cyber security specialists, and with the owners' permission, they are going to see how hack of all this house is, not just from here, but from another country. how are you doing? i am fine, ken. i am talking to my colleague in greece and we have found a vulnerability we can use to ta ke found a vulnerability we can use to take control of a lot of the smart tech here. let's see if we can turn a lot of the lights of? there you go. how about something a bit more sinister? let's see if we can get access to the cameras? he hacked into the camera and can now see us at the front door. according to ken it is down to a security flaw in the way the main smart system has been designed. and there are other ways into this house as well. another way is exploiting a streaming device
7:49 am
called chrome cast, from google, and we can compromise that and send anything we like to your telly —— chromecast. ken is now in command of the tv and can send voice commands to alexa. you can use this method to order things on people's amazon accounts. amazon say it is not there device that has been hacked. security precautions had been taken and there are extra precautions people can take like installing a voice pen for purchases and commuting alexa went out of the house. google say they are working on an update to prevent attacks on chromecast but an attacker has to be nearby for attacks to work and network passwords are not affected by the attack. but we are leaving ourselves increasingly vulnerable. during our investigation we found 15,000 vulnerable home security cameras in the uk, and that wasjust one brand of camera. so people are setting stuff up at home without
7:50 am
doing strong passwords. the manufacturers are letting us down in terms of security, in many cases, so the problem is getting worse.“ terms of security, in many cases, so the problem is getting worse. it is impossible to know how often people get hacked, but as we buy more and more smart tech, we are being advised to get much smarter about security. elle osili—wood is a technology expert and presenter and joins me now. thank you very much forjoining us. what do you make of all of that in the report? i think it definitely highlights the worst thing that can happen. so, you know, ialways like to say you don't need to be paranoid, you just need to be sensible about your security. and for the most part, while these vulnerabilities do exist, you would have to be kind of a spy on the run for someone to go to those lengths to hack your devices. it is more about the account attached to them. so if you are someone who has these devices and you are slightly worried someone devices and you are slightly worried someone would be able to hack them, what do you think they should do? there were a couple of things mentioned, but what are your
7:51 am
thoughts? in general what most hackers are looking for is data, so they want your credit card information or something that will get them closer to it. so in general u nless get them closer to it. so in general unless you sit at home reading out your credit card number they are not looking at tapping into devices and listening to you. that is what people think about with the smart devices, that it is a bug in my house. that is not what people are looking for. as i said, unless you are harbouring some really incredible secrets, people don't wa nt to incredible secrets, people don't want to listen to what you are staying at home, they want access to your online accounts. in general what you should be doing our basic security of online accounts, for e—mail, for your phone, things like having a very strong password, things like having a very strong password for everything, making sure you are installing updates, so you are not vulnerable to any security flaws that have been discovered or any loopholes in the software, just the basic security protocols that stop people accessing information. so you don't think we should be worried about this, because i guess hackers are getting more sophisticated, and they will be looking at other means to try and
7:52 am
find our data. yes, absolutely. and at the end of the day it is not the devices themselves. so devices will a lwa ys devices themselves. so devices will always be hack of all, that will a lwa ys always be hack of all, that will always be hack of all, that will always be an issue, this is why you should be installing updates regularly as companies discover vulnerabilities, as they discover attacks that let you make sure you have the most up—to—date protection. but what you should be doing is making sure that the internet, your life on the internet, is safe. because that is what most hackers are looking for, 99% of hackers, they just want information, are looking for, 99% of hackers, theyjust want information, and that is where yours lives. so these devices are vulnerable only because they are connected to the internet, and that is where you have put the information they are looking for. are there any devices more vulnerable than others, would you say? well, i think your phone, just because it is your entire life at this point. so you have everything on it, it is likely that you have stored information, such as your credit card. it is likely that you have made it, if you have a phone

that has payment capabilities, you have literally turned it into a credit card. you have your e—mail, your telephone contacts, so that makes it valuable not only in the fa ct makes it valuable not only in the fact that they can get your information, but now they can use social engineering, which is a type of hacking that doesn't use any delving into code, it doesn't break into devices, it is where you simply trick people into giving them information, so if you give somebody your phone, they have all your contacts. perhaps we have received e—mails that purport to be the friends, and that is what they are looking to do. so a phone isjust a valuable trove of information for people who are looking for it. and how would you stop anyone getting that information? obviously lock the phone down, make sure you have a six digit pin if possible, that is a little bit more secure than a four digit pin, and if you can, make sure it is not saving passwords, and you should have everything enabled through whichever type of phone you have two lock it down if you need to. thank you very much, nice to see you as well. and that's it from me for now. i feel like i have learnt a lot there. it is like a film from gene hackman.
7:54 am
i have probably not seen it. i think will smith is in it. if you were watching yesterday, you would have seen eight—year—old maxwell who had written a letter asking people to think about becoming a stem cell donor, after his dad, peter, was diagnosed with blood cancer in 2016. the family highlighted the importance of transplants, which can be used to treat blood cancers and prolong patients' lives. let's take a look. my my dad has myeloma, which is a blood cancer that i really don't want him to have. i really want you to help keep may dad —— help my dad beat his blood cancer by registering to be on dkms's stem cell donor list. if my dad does not find a stem cell donor
7:55 am
match, he will only have seven more yea rs match, he will only have seven more years with me, and i want lots more. totally understand that, brilliant, well done. so he wrote this letter, and what they are basically trying to do is get 10,000 potential stem cell donors. they want people to sign up. the good news is since the family on breakfast yesterday, the blood cancer charity dkms has received an overwhelming response. we did briefly crash the website, because max was so we did briefly crash the website, because max was so brilliant. due to a flood of requests from so many who have registered to become donors. what we in that piece is that it is not a painful process, stem cells get removed from your blood, it is not a painful process. so many people registered, i went back home and registered, i didn't break the website, but it is working, and it will work again. two very important things to tell you, one, enemy of the state is the film with gene

8:01 am
skirting down the east coast of england will fade but later we see rain and windy conditions come into the north—west. more details 15 minutes. it's monday 11th february. our top story. the prime minister has said she's willing to hold further talks with jeremy corbyn about the five labour demands for supporting a brexit deal. but in a letter to mr corbyn, theresa may appears to have rejected one of his key proposals for the uk to be in a customs union. our europe reporter adam fleming is in brussels but first, let's speak to our political correspondent nick eardley in westminster. what do you think is the most significant? there are a lot of letters kicking around westminster just now. we have another one to mull over this morning. it is important because it is theresa may adopting a pretty conciliatory tone, not saying we cannot agree but saying, let's keep talking. the government is trying to say to the
8:02 am
labour party, we are not that far apart on some of the key brexit issues. let's talk about some of the things she think she agrees with jeremy corbyn on. the first one is the need for a deal that will leave the need for a deal that will leave the european union with some sort of agreement with the future in place. the second one is to meet all our obligations to northern ireland. basically that means avoiding the ha rd basically that means avoiding the hard border we have been speaking about for so long. thirdly, finding something, and this might be the ha rd est something, and this might be the hardest bit, finding something that gets through the house of commons but can also win over support from the european side. it is a customs union, policy and trade that there are still disagreements between the government and the labour party. but theresa may desperately needs to win over as many people as possible. last month she faced the biggest defeat in the government in modern
8:03 am
history. she is trying to say to the conservatives, come on board we need to get behind the deal and get this through. secondly, to say to labour mp5, we are not that far apart and let's try and figure something out. the danger is, by making those overtures to labour, she will annoy many in her own party as well. thank you very much. we're joined now by our brussels reporter, adam fleming. there is some posh food this morning with the brexit secretary meeting michelle barnier? yes, he will be meeting him for dinner. they do let us see meeting him for dinner. they do let us see the menu afterwards. in terms of what they will be discussing, stephen barclay will be bringing these three ideas the uk has about these three ideas the uk has about the backstop, the plan for avoiding border checks between northern ireland and ireland. those ideas
8:04 am
are, do you have an escape clause that the uk could use itself to get out of the backstop if it ever came into force. do you have a time limit? in other words it would only last for a certain amount of years and come to an end. or are there alternative arrangements, similar to the backstop to deliver the same effects but in a different way. the problem is, michelle barnier, the withdrawal of agreement, the brexit treaty which has the backstop in it, is not up for renegotiation, it is done. where the eu will be creative is on the political declaration which sketches out in broad terms the future relationship. they are prepared to do stuff on there. then talk about being ambitious and quicker about the process for agreeing the future trade deal. but the problem with that, it is not legally binding, they don't take it as seriously as the withdrawal
8:05 am
agreement. that is the problem they will have to solve over dinner and after eights. thank you very much. there's a warning this morning that britain would be "less safe" in the event of a no—deal brexit. the man in charge of police preparations, deputy assistant commissioner richard martin, says things like criminal records checks could take ten times as long. a team of 50 people are in in place to deal with the loss of policing tools like the european arrest warrant. it will cost £5.6 million for the first year. up to 86,000 women aged between 35 and 39 with a family history of breast cancer should receive annual mammograms, according to new research. a trial by the charity breast cancer now found that screening a younger age group detected small tumours early in comparison to the current nhs screening age of a0. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. at present, breast cancer screening is offered to women from the age of a0 who are thought to be at a moderate or higher risk because of a significant family history of the illness
8:06 am
but a new research project that extended screening to at risk women from the age of 35 found there could be real benefits. more tumours were detected when they were significantly smaller in size and before they reached the lymphatic system which can spread the disease around the body. the earlier breast cancer is found, the more treatable it is. screening finds breast cancer at a really early stage, before it can be seen or felt and at that stage, treatment is less invasive and the cancer is more likely to be survivable. more people are surviving breast cancer than ever before, but it remains the biggest killer of women under 50 in england and wales. more than 920 under 505 lost their lives to the disease in 2017 and it's the uk's most common cancer with around 55,000 women and 350 men being diagnosed each year in the uk. the authors of the study warn that more analysis is needed on the risks, costs and benefits associated with
8:07 am
extending the screening programme. if it is made more widely available, as many as 86,000 women in the uk could be eligible but that's likely to still be some years away. dominic hughes, bbc news. police say a man held over the disappearance of missing student libby squire remains of interest to the inquiry, and is due in court on unrelated charges. the 2a—year—old has been charged with voyeurism, outraging public decency and burglary. the search for the hull university student continues after she went missing 11 days ago on a night out. four new positive tests for equine flu have been found in vaccinated thoroughbreds in newmarket, according to the british horse racing authorities. racing is on hold until at least wednesday while the sport's governing body tests horses nationwide. the suspension came after six cases of the contagious virus were discovered at donald mccain's cheshire stables. the bha is due to announce when meetings can resume this evening.

8:11 am
finn. our next guest is a real hero. this is finn the retired police dog. he nearly died after being stabbed while responding to reports of a robbery. the current law meant his attacker got away pretty much scot—free for what he did to finn. this is a replica of the knife finn was attacked with. but his story has inspired new rules which will make it an offence to attack police dogs or horses. he‘s here with his handler pc dave wardell. thank you for coming in. what happened, you are telling us exactly where finn was stabbed and how the incident unfolded? we were chasing a robbery suspect through the streets on foot. finn was the first to catch up on foot. finn was the first to catch up with him and ijoined him quickly after. then our lives changed in the blink ofan after. then our lives changed in the blink of an eye because the offender pulled that horrible thing out. the

8:13 am
action 11 weeks later? yes and he got a result on his firstjob back. we turned up to a stolen car that had been crushed and abandoned and he found the guy hiding. as i was arresting a guy, i was crying and he hadn‘t understood the journey we had gone through to get there. you still had flashbacks for some time, does that still affect you? not so much now, we talked about it in the book we wrote and it was a huge... finn helped me through all of that, not only did he save me, he went on to help me through my nightmares and flashbacks. dogs are amazing. you wa nt flashbacks. dogs are amazing. you want a new law? where you in the house of lords? on friday. it will look to finally protect service animals in this country canada,

8:17 am
we have had some cracking pictures in. beautiful sunrise. today it is a cold start if you have not ventured out. but there will be some sunshine around as high pressure continues to dominate the weather. it will be here for much of the week so this week will be more settled than last week. more showers running down the east coast of england. they have been wintry on the hills this morning and they will clear. a lot of sunshine, turning hazy. stronger winds in the north—west and eventually we will see some rain. temperatures, five in aberdeen, eight in newcastle and 11 in cardiff and also plymouth. overnight, the weather front pushes the west introducing the cloud, some rain. the rain will be heavy at times but
8:18 am
some will miss it altogether. across eastern areas and parts of the south east, here under clear skies, the temperature in rural areas will be low enough for a touch of frost and also patchy mist and fog forming in the south—east. as we head into tuesday, wednesday and thursday this is the jet stream to the north. high pressure is underneath it and it is allowing this mild air to sweep across our shows allowing this mild air to sweep across our shows and we will notice across our shows and we will notice a difference in the temperatures. on tuesday we need to lose the fog from the south—east. a lot of dry and bright weather, especially in southern and eastern areas. a weather front coming in from the north—west will sink southwards, getting into northern ireland, northern england and north wales. we will see very little of the rain in the north—east. behind it it will brighten up and in aberdeen we are looking at five. tomorrow it is
8:19 am
likely to be 12, 13 in belfast on the of this weather front the cloud will build and it is the far south—east that will hang on to the such and the longest and we are looking at 12 in london. as we move through wednesday we hang onto this high pressure. it drifts further towards the south—east with a lot of isobars in the charts, it will be windy on wednesday. but the wind coming from the south—west, a bit more cloud across scotland and northern ireland. thick enough for drizzle here and there. for england and wales, blue skies with temperatures up to 11. across the board we are looking at ten and 11. on thursday, still a lot of dry weather across most of the uk. still the southerly wind so still looking very mild. temperatures ten to 12, which is about average for the stage in february. we have a bit of a hairy sofa. it is
8:20 am
0k, we have a bit of a hairy sofa. it is ok, sally can sort it out when she comes in. we‘re looking at the crisis which has forced the horse racing industry to shut down this morning. meetings have ben cancelled across the country since last thursday after an outbreak of equine flu, with more than 100 stables on lockdown. john maguire is in newbury for us this morning. good morning. we are at andrew balding‘s stables in newbury. it doesn‘t mean the horses aren‘t out exercising, they are just coming back down from the gallops this morning but it is having an impact. good morning. andrew, what sort of an impact is it having on the business, on the sport and the industry? it depends how long we can go without racing. it is having an effect on incomes and without racing, owners are paying training fees with no action, so we hope it can be resolved sooner rather than later. does it cause concern? very
8:21 am
much so. but they have acted in a very responsible way, the bha and we have to get at the bottom of it before we can get back to work, as it were. simon, a vet but also on the board as well so very much involved in the decision—making that is happening. is there any precedent, can we learn anything, are things behaving the way we expect them to? one of the diagnostic features of flu is how quickly it spreads. so, can we learn? yes, we can learn from the other outbreaks but we have a more viral and disease this time, so caution is the byword, caution via security which is being undertaken very diligently by all of racing. you are the head lad here, business
8:22 am
as usual to a certain extent, but you are not racing, is it difficult to manage? this time of year it is not too bad, we wouldn't have a load of runners this time, but luckily we are self—contained so we are near enough business as usualjust without runners. obviously the horses have to exercise? yes, we have got to keep the ball rolling otherwise we could end up with a couple of accidents. gentlemen, thank you very much indeed. a matter of concern, as they were saying. we really will have to say what the bha say later on. racing was due to resume on wednesday but there‘s new cases that have been confirmed may stop that. just like human flu, it doesn‘t necessarily behave the way people think it is going to do so it isa people think it is going to do so it is a wait and see. thank you, john. let‘s have a quick look at the
8:23 am
papers this morning. many of the papers this morning. many of the papers have olivia colman on there. winning best actress for the favourite and lots of talk as ever about brexit. we mentioned olivia colman and i have the paper on the front page she is not on. she isn‘t on this one here. what have you got? i love the picture of her, olivia colman because she is not taking it too seriously. that one. i love that picture in the daily telegraph. she is not doing the perfect, sultry shot. she is just is not doing the perfect, sultry shot. she isjust having is not doing the perfect, sultry shot. she is just having a is not doing the perfect, sultry shot. she isjust having a laugh.” love her. congratulations. he talked about hackers getting into our houses, haven‘t you? about hackers getting into our houses, haven't you? we were talking
