6:01 am
greatest ever nights in europe. heung min son got the first of three goals, as they beat the german league—leaders borusia dortmund at wembley. and the sun is not up yet in london. we are on the roof of the colosseum, it isa we are on the roof of the colosseum, it is a chilly start for england and wales with a touch of frost, also some fog which will lift and we will have a dry day with sunshine except for parts of the north—west where there will be some splashes of rain, but i will have more in 15 minutes. good morning. it's thursday, 14th february. our top story: airbus, the company that makes aircraft and has factories in the uk, has announced plans to cease production of the superjumbo, the a380, from 2021, potentially impacting thousands of jobs. aviation analyst alex macheras is in toulouse, where airbus is holding a press conference in the next hour. hejoins us now. we are expecting that in the next hour. tell us more about this
6:02 am
announcement. good morning, so it is the announcement that ultimately the industry has been waiting for and thatis industry has been waiting for and that is the future of a380 production. so this is a very passenger loved jet boat for the airlines not so much mainly because it is very large —— but for the airline. it is slowly being perceived as quite inefficient. airbus's future of the a380 has been on the line for quite sometime but the announcement here this morning is that a380 production will end in two years is that a380 production will end in two yea rs in is that a380 production will end in two years in the year 2021, that will be the end of any new a380s to enter the market, it will ultimately bea enter the market, it will ultimately be a secondhand market from that moment onwards. what about the implications in terms ofjobs? moment onwards. what about the implications in terms of jobs? there are around 3000 jobs on the a380 and airbus's home countries, the uk, germany, spain and here in france, ultimately, as the company ramps at
6:03 am
elsewhere on other aircraft, specifically with the a320 production and the new white body jets like the a350, it is expected the majority of the workforce will be moved to other areas of the company. in the uk alone thereafter and 50 jobs solely on the a380 but it is expected those positions will be redeployed elsewhere. —— there are 350 jobs. thank you very much. just expecting a little more detail in the next hour or so. an east london schoolgirl who left britain as a 15—year—old to join the islamic state group says she wants to come home. speaking to the times, shamima begum, who is now 19, married to an islamic state fighter and nine months pregnant, says she wants to give birth in the uk. chi chi izundu reports. pictured for the first time in almost four years in a camp in northern syria, shamima begum, one
6:04 am
of the three schoolgirls from bethnal green who left to join the flaming state group which by then already had a murderous reputation —— the islamic state group. just 15 when they went, she told the times about their arrival in is territory. she told the times reporter, anthony loyd, that her friend she told the times reporter, anthony loyd, that herfriend kadiza sultana was killed in an airstrike. but she said the third bethnal green girl, amira abase, was still alive two weeks ago. and shamima begum doesn't accept they made a mistake in the islamic state group. but she does say while she was with
6:05 am
is she lost to make children through malnutrition and sickness. she is now nine months pregnant with her third child and is desperate to get back to the uk. the home office says anyone taking pa rt the home office says anyone taking part in conflict in syria or iraq must expect to be investigated by police to determine whether they have committed criminal offences and to ensure that they do not pose a threat to national security. theresa may is facing the threat of another rebellion by her own backbenchers today as she tries to preserve support for her brexit plan. the commons is due to vote on the next steps in the process, and some of the most hardline tory brexiteers have said they can not back the motion as it currently stands. joining us now from westminster is our political correspondent, jonathan blake. jonathan, how significant is today? it just seems there itjust seems there are divides on
6:06 am
all sides in all parties and that is before you start talking about whether or not they will support theresa may on brexit. that is right, it should have been a routine day forgeries in parliament, coming back effectively to get mps' continued support for her efforts to renegotiate part of her brexit deal, the controversial backstop, designed to achieve an open border in northern ireland in all circumstances. the trouble is the wording of what parliament is being asked to vote on is causing problems, particularly for some conservative brexiteers, who say that if they vote for that today it is effectively ruling out a no—deal brexit which they say is important to keep on the table to strengthen the prime minister's hand in negotiations. number ten are clearly worried about this, they say if conservative mps rebel and theresa may loses this vote in parliament today than her hand will be weakened in brussels. her chances of renegotiating and getting a good
6:07 am
deal would be seriously damaged. there are no easy days for the prime minister in this brexit process but it looks like today was going to be far more difficult than she had hoped. no easy days. i think that is an understatement, don't you, jonathan? thank you very much. nhs england is encouraging people to have their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked, in a bid to cut the number of heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases. health experts warn that millions of people are unaware they are at risk because many of the conditions associated with cardio vascular disease carry no symptoms. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. let's just put this on your hand. having your blood pressure taken or getting your cholesterol tested. these are simple steps that can alert us to the danger of developing cardiovascular disease. through heart attack, stroke, and dementia it's the main cause of premature death and disability in england. but health experts are warning that not enough of us that if we are at risk. large numbers of people are dying prematurely from cardiovascular disease, which is largely a preventable condition. so that's why today we're launching
6:08 am
these new ambitions focusing on the big risk factors, the big causes for cardiovascular disease, and we are referring to this is the abcs of prevention — atrial fibrillation, blood pressure, and cholesterol. in order to tackle cardiovascular disease, within the next decade doctors want to be able to detect and treat 80% of all those with high blood pressure, to check the cholesterol levels of three quarters of all 40—to—75—year—olds, and assess their risk of cardiovascular disease, and to treat, with statins, 45% of those found to be at high risk. these checks can be done quickly and easily by a gp or a practice nurse. doctors say we all know our bank pin numbers, but not the important numbers relating to our blood pressure and cholesterol that could save our lives. dominic hughes, bbc news. detectives are continuing to question a man held on suspicion of murder after three pensioners were violently killed in their homes in exeter.
6:09 am
the bodies of two 84—year—old twins and that of an 80—year—old man were found less than 2a hours apart at two separate addresses. police are linking the deaths by "the level of violence used". 0ur news correspondent jon kay reports. in a quiet suburb of a cathedral city, the house where the 84—year—old twins were found dead. all day, police searched the large detached property, and a sprawling back garden. neighbours described the elderly brothers as private and eccentric. they've been named locally as dick and roger carter. they were such nice, quiet men. sylvia told me she'd known the brothers for nearly 60 years. she said they once ran a grocery shop and were always kind. they were so nice. you just... a mile away, another house, another crime scene. 2a hours earlier, on monday afternoon, police were called to this terraced property
6:10 am
where they've now erected an investigation tent at the front. here they found the body of an 80—year—old man. this note on the front door said a man of that age had been looking for new accommodation for himself and his pet cat. neighbours told us it had been on the doorfor weeks. police say at the moment the only thing linking the two attacks is the level of violence used against the victims. a 27—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder. jon kay, bbc news, exeter. nasa says the 0pportunity rover it sent to mars has ended its mission eight months after losing contact. the robot spent 15 years sending data back to earth and had one of the most fruitful missions in the history of space exploration. 0ppy, as the rover was affectionatly known, confirmed that water once flowed on the red planet. the robot hasn't been heard from sincejune when it was hit by a dust storm.
6:11 am
i know this sounds pathetic, ifeel really sorry for 0ppy, and i am imagining this little robot on its own in space, they can't contact, i have watched too many cartoons. do you think it is still calling out? yeah. robots want you to think that they have feelings as they take over they have feelings as they take over the world. a good reminder. that would mean they are thinking in the first place, so they must have some feelings. you have got me there. charlie... what? laughter. they still can't handle stairs. some can. apparently. anyway. it was one of spurs's great nights in europe, to be the german legal it is as well. and, do you know what, now they have a great chance to get to the quarter—final —— german league
6:12 am
leaders. and son, the man there, pochettino said when he scores he will put up his feet. he kept the fa ns will put up his feet. he kept the fans waiting. they are tortured souls. it all happened in the second half. it all happened in the second half for tottenham at wembley. they won 3—0 against the german league—leaders borussia dortmund, even without injured stars harry kane and dele ali. pele pays tribute to the man he called one of his best friends, the world cup winning england goalkeeper gordon banks. we'll hear from pele later. anthonyjoshua's off to the big apple to take on a man known as the big baby. he'll fightjarell miller at madison square gardens injune. and they're off. horse racing's back after a six—day pause because of equine flu. the authorities think they've contained the virus. and i will have news of the first
6:13 am
race ina and i will have news of the first race in a moment. let's take a look through some of today's front pages. it isa it is a bit different? i know what race. . . it is a bit different? i know what race... it is fun. sorry. let's take a look through some of today's front pages. let's do it. the times splashes with its interview with the school girl who went to syria to join so—called islamic state. she now wants to come home and is appealing for the government to help her do so. the guardian reports that some labour mps have told leader jeremy corbyn that they'll quit the party, unless he back a second referendum on the eu. the picture is of women and children fleeing one of the last isis strongholds in syria. the daily telegraph has a picture ofjockeys taking part in a charity space hopper race at plumpton yesterday. mike, ithink mike, i think we have stolen your story. mike will tell you more about
6:14 am
that. their main story looks at calls for a review of the types of fertility treatments available to transgender men. so, mike, you're looking at this picture as well. yeah, well, obviously, after the races were cancelled, they began on wednesday, this was the one that or their fancy. the great hop cup at plumpton and it was the first race since the six—day break for the equine flu outbreak and you can see a couple of fallers there. it took place on the parade bring. it is not as easy, if you have raced on a space hopper, you have raced on a space hopper, you would know you can go backwards as well as forward. you had a space hopper raised many years ago. other people were in it as well. dame kelly holmes. she absolutely thrashed me. ialso kelly holmes. she absolutely thrashed me. i also tried to do it a mile, it took me one hour and 37 minutes. you do go up and back and
6:15 am
forward. it was painful as well. absolutely. anyway, it was good to see them back and smiles on faces at four different racecourses. this is a different story in football that has people in ireland raising eyebrows, declan rice is one of the most talented young players in the premier league, playing for west ham, but he has played three times for the republic of ireland in friendlies, that is the crucial bit. he was born and raised in london, but his parents are from cork, so at first he played for ireland, but now because of fever regulations of the latest ones brought in in 2009, because he hasn't played competitively he can switch to england —— cork. and he is likely to bea england —— cork. and he is likely to be a full—time england international —— fifa. be a full—time england international -- fifa. are all games competitive? qualify for a championship... an official kind of... yeah, it was a friendly, an international. what to
6:16 am
do if there is more, top of the jam? throw it away? what is the policy? throw it away? what is the policy? throw it away? what is the policy? throw it away, is that bad? yes. recycled glass. the prime minister says you take off, you skim off the top and then underneath you can get top and then underneath you can get to the good stuff. absolutely fine. and apparently this emerged during a cabinet meeting when, i don't know quite why, but they were talking about how to make sure you get the best out of yourjam. was she talking about something to do with brexit? is it a metaphor? you can ta ke brexit? is it a metaphor? you can take off all of the crud for want of a better word, the toxic rubbish, underneath there are some good elements that are edible, palatable. how far do you go with that analogy? lam not how far do you go with that analogy? i am not saying that she said it... the crud can come back. if you leave it for awhile, it starts again. once you take the mould of carefully and with a sterile spoon... that can only happen if you keep it for 12
6:17 am

6:18 am
towards the south—west of england. visibility in some parts is less than 100 metres —— dense fog. the next few days it will stay mild. yesterday cannot reach a0 degrees, the warm as part of the uk. today, somewhere across the moray firth could hit 50 great —— 1a degrees. you can see the mild air coming up from the south as indicated by the yellow on the chart. right the way across the british isles. back to this morning. we have the fog to clear. some of it will be quite stubborn. the frost will lift. this morning there is cloud across parts of northern england, in through parts of wales, northern ireland, and scotland. through the day you will find that will lift and the rain we have across western scotland and the north—west of northern ireland will tend to fade. it will
6:19 am
be quite breezy for a time. most of us be quite breezy for a time. most of us will have a sunny day, albeit blue skies or hazy sunshine. widely, temperatures in 11—13. locally 1a ravi moray firth. through the evening and overnight under the clear skies the temperature will drop quite quickly —— locally, 1a in the moray firth. we could see some of fog again in similar areas to where we have this morning. some of that could be dense. tomorrow morning that dense fog will take its time to lift. some not lifting until well into the mid—morning period. tomorrow, once again, we are looking ata dry tomorrow, once again, we are looking at a dry and fine day four most of us at a dry and fine day four most of us with some sunshine, he's in places, we could hit 15 or 16 tomorrow. we do have a weather front coming across the north—west. that will bring in more cloud, showers, then simmering, breezy in the north—west. by saturday it will have moved into southern england, east anglia, in south wales as a weak
6:20 am
feature. most of it will be cloud, but there could be drizzle across parts of the west coast. the west coast of scotland seeing drizzle. the middle area of the country seeing sunshine. temperatures on saturday, looking at up to 1a. by the end of saturday another weather front comes in across the north—west. you might be wondering why i am standing on the roof of the colosseum, it is home to english national opera. i have never been to the opera in my life until last week. this is what happened. here i am at the colosseum, home to the english national opera for 0bi 50 yea rs. the english national opera for 0bi 50 years. deny‘s performance is love 0m. before it starts i will go backstage and meet some of the cast. --la backstage and meet some of the cast. —— la boheme. backstage and meet some of the cast. -- la boheme. ithink it is

to improvise. the nature yellow and black is a warning. borussia dortmund leave dell might lead the german league and it took hugo lloris to prevent the tie. in his fingertips tottenham's group grew stronger. minutes into the second halfjan stronger. minutes into the second half jan vertonghen picked stronger. minutes into the second halfjan vertonghen picked out their favourite son, heung—min son, making the brilliant routine. vertonghen by trade is a grisly centre—back who had undergone some transformation. healy was upfront making it 2—0, thatis healy was upfront making it 2—0, that is why nickname is super yin. christian eriksen and another at the substitute fernando your ante. three. spurs supporters dream not getting to wembley but of leaving for the new ground which is now several months late. their team it seems are moving far faster. 0n on to the fa cup and burnley this weekend for the spurs next. is it ok to switch allegiance in international football? west ham's declan rice has opted to play for england
6:38 am
in international football despite having already played three times for the republic of ireland. but they were all in friendlies, hence he can still make the switch. until now, ever since under 16 level, he's played for ireland because his grandparents are from cork. in a statement on twitter, rice said it had been "an extremely difficult decision" and that he'd made it, with his head and heart, and based on what he believes is best for his future. there's been a lot of reaction to this story on social media. former ireland winger kevin kilbane said, "if you're a ‘proud englishman' then why play for us in the first place?" meanwhile gary lineker was very happy with rice's decision, doing his own version of tottenham's harry kane song: "he's one of our own....he's one of our own...declan rice....he's one of our own." a minute's silence was held at wembley and at grounds around the country last night out of respect for gordon banks, the world cup—winning england goalkeeper who's died aged 81. and there was one special tribute yesterday. the brazilian legend, pele, whose header banks memorably saved at the 1970 world cup, released a video message dedicated to banks whom he called one of his best friends.
6:39 am
beyond being friends outside the football pitch we played in the same tea m football pitch we played in the same team because banks was a great person and this news makes all of us who love football, who like the good and nice people, it makes us very sad, so let's pray that his family and friends don't suffer too much and friends don't suffer too much and that god receives him with all of his love in heaven. heartfelt tribute from the great mr pele. anthonyjoshua is going to fight in the usa for the first time in his career. he'll be up against the so called big baby, jarrell miller, in the famous madison square garden in new york, injune. the last time we sanoshua in action was back in september when he beat alexander povetkin. but miller will be something different, he's nicknamed ‘big baby‘ because he weighed a whopping 22.5 at his last fight. that is his nickname. the big baby?
6:40 am
did we see him? no. nowl have a mental image which i suspect is not quite right. he is huge, it is ironic. oh, no nappies involved? certainly not. he might be watching, you know? he is bigger than us. horse racing is back under way after a six day break because of equine flu with the authorities now confident they've contained the virus. stables and courses have had to go through stringent measures before the suspension was lifted. four meetings went ahead yesterday — a relief for those who rely on the sport for their livelihood. this kind of came out of the blue last week, but it was dealt with as swift as possible and we are off less tha n swift as possible and we are off less than a week so happy to be back. as self—employed we need to raise, we only get employed to write competitively, so the less time off the better and so we don't want any more in future, so it is good to get back. fingers crossed. west indies fast bowler shannon gabriel will miss four
6:41 am
one—day matches after admitting a charge of personal abuse of a player. this comes after an incident with england captainjoe root, who was heard on a microphone telling gabriel, "there's nothing wrong with being gay" and not to use it as an insult. it's not known what gabriel said. here on breakfast, we like to encourage you to get inspired and try out some of the sports we show. however, this one is best left to the experts. this is a man called tim howell who likes jumping off things. the sport's called base jumping and he's been trying out various locations in scotland. including, incredibly, britain's highest mountain ben nevis. look how close he is to those rocks, and imagine the winds at play.“ someone else jumping with and imagine the winds at play.“ someone elsejumping with him to film it? yes, of course. that would be dangerous in itself? yes, it is
6:42 am
so precise, they know what they are doing at least. we will see you later on, thank you. over the past few weeks we've been on a road trip round the uk finding out how businesses are preparing for brexit. this morning is the sixth stop on ourtourand we're looking at fishing. ben's at peterhead fish market in aberdeenshire. morning, ben. how things? cold is the obvious thing, but otherwise how are things? yes, good morning to you, welcome to aberdeenshire, we are down here, ta ke aberdeenshire, we are down here, take a look at this, this is a freshly caught haddock, right on the market, and this whole box will sell for about 120 quid, the market itself is under way this morning at 7am, so expect to see this place get much more busy. we are here because we are talking about the difficulty for places like this because overwhelmingly fishermen in the uk voted for brexit, to leave the
6:43 am
european union, to regain control of the waters around the uk. but there isa the waters around the uk. but there is a bit ofa the waters around the uk. but there is a bit of a confusion here in the sense that all of this stuff that is caught here, 80% is sold to the european union, and most of what we consume as customers, as consumers, as eaters of fish in this country, well, most of that is important from the european union, so they have to try to work out what that means them. so let me introduce you to jimmy, a fisherman from the scottish fishermen association, you might recognise him from the trawlermen programme, and a laying is here. jimmy, we spoke earlier. —— and elaine is here. this place was made by the eu but that is no longer the case. well, our market has been for several years built up on selling quality fish into the wider european union. as well as the uk domestic market. we are not wholly dependent
6:44 am
on the eu. it is a significant part. we can't hide it. it is a busy market and a busy port, but not as busy as it was, why not? when i started fishing in 1976, there were aoo fishing vessels. when the european union started to control the whole fishery, then we have to give up in order to share with our european counterparts, and that is where our community and industry started to suffer, because we had to share, the cake is only the cake, we had to share that with european counterparts, and therefore we have lost out. to the stage that we, the uk people, the uk community, get ao% of the 100%, so the europeans get 60% of the catch, and that is what fishermen have always been upset about. and elaine at the idea, regaining control, and this is not
6:45 am
the way it is right around the coastline? no, but it has been, we had places in ayre, and i think with access to some quota, different species, to allow fishermen to diversify, that could happen again. where would the fishermen sell to? about 80% of what is caught is sold into the european union. what happens after brexit assuming we don't have a trade deal and we can't sell to europe without paying carys? 86% of members' stock goes to the eu. we are concerned about tariffs, mostly about direct access. the one thing we can't have is disruption by protests etc on the continent, and we have to make sure we are getting it to market very quickly because with shellfish, it has to go fresh or live and we have to get it quickly. good to talk to you for now. we will continue the conversation later. it is getting
6:46 am
busier. we have ten minutes until the auction of this fish begins. expect it to get very noisy, very busy, very animated. we won't understand a word of it, it is done in code, sojoin me after 7am and we will show you what is happening here in peterhead, see you soon. looking forward to that, thank you, you can translate for the morning. they are fascinating places, real work, and the buying and selling is done. from verita is really cold inside. 0utside for some of us. and some of us on 0utside for some of us. and some of us on this programme are benefiting from glorious locations this morning. it is the top of the london caris —— coliseum and carol is there. that is right. lean over and you might see me. good morning, what a fabulous view. iamon i am on the roof of the colosseum in london. it is the home of the english
6:47 am
national opera. if you are wondering why annual sea, once again, at 7:15 a.m.,a why annual sea, once again, at 7:15 a.m., a stunning opera taking place. i was blown away by the talented people who take part in these amazing displays of art, for a better phrase. this morning it start the day across parts of england and wales, a touch of frost around. the other thing to watch out for, if you are travelling, especially, is some fog, dense fog, across the southern half of england and southern and eastern parts of wales. some of this will be slow to lift but visibility is poor, around 100 metres in some parts of these areas i have mentioned it could be even less than that. for the next few days, it will stay mild. yesterday we hit 1a degrees in kinloss. today we could
6:48 am
hit 15. tomorrow 16. temperatures above average for this stage in february. you can see the yellow on the air mass chart showing that it is going to be mild as the when comes up is going to be mild as the when comes up from the south. it is coming up from the azores. this morning we have the mist and fog to lift. the frost will lift. to start with its cloud across northern england, wales, into northern ireland and scotland. but a lot of that will give way to hazy sunshine. for england and wales, generally, it will be dry and sunny. splashes of rain first thing this morning across northern ireland and western scotland, they will tend to fade. it will be breezy. temperatures are widely11—13, locally, around the murray firth, about 1a. maybe 15, as we could across parts of wales. heading through the evening and overnight, under those clear skies, the temperature will fall away quite quickly and we are looking at a colder night than the one just gone.
6:49 am
there will be frost around. 0nce again tonight we are expecting more fog, dense fog in similar areas to this morning. if you are travelling keep that here might. some of it, like today, will be stubborn tou kley, like today, will be stubborn toukley, well into the morning before it does lift. tomorrow, once again, idry before it does lift. tomorrow, once again, i dry and a fine day for most —— to again, i dry and a fine day for most -- to lift. a again, i dry and a fine day for most —— to lift. a weather fronts coming in will introduce some rain and breezy conditions. tomorrow we are looking at 16 for some parts of the uk. as we head into saturday, the weather fronts coming in on friday to the north—west will sink south, resting across southern england and south wales, producing cloud. maybe in the westie will see drizzle from that. western scotland seeing some drizzle. in between, dry weather and some sunshine. later on in the day and you weather fronts comes into the north—west, introducing some rain. 0n the north—west, introducing some rain. on saturday, temperatures up to about 1a. when you consider the
6:50 am
average temperatures at this time of year are sixth in the north and highs of nine in the south, a temperature are pretty good, but not record—breaking four february —— six. not record-breaking, buti think it is the love in the air. that is putting the temperatures up. it is valentine's day. that could be the case. i will go with that one. it isa the case. i will go with that one. it is a perfectly scientific reason. we live our lives by numbers — from mobile phones to bank pin codes — but how many of us know the ones that could save our lives? health officials in england want to encourage more people to have their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked, in a bid to reduce the number of heart attacks, strokes and cases of dementia. keith wilson had a heart attack when he was 37 and is encouraging people to follow the advice. i woke iwoke up i woke up feeling unwell, with slight discomfort in the chest and decided to get out of bed and go downstairs. this was about six o'clock in the morning. i went down
6:51 am
and sat on the couch. and the pain just dissipated, it went. and i thought it must be indigestion. then i sat down and they went and got myself a drink of tea. i sat down in the jack and within seconds the pain was horrendous, a crushing pain, down my arms, feeling really sick, i knew something really serious was wrong —— asset down on the chair. there wasn't any standard practice that i was aware of for blood tests for cholesterol or even blood pressure. it would be foolish not to ta ke pressure. it would be foolish not to take advantage of a system that allows you to be checked. i think if there are risk factors and you are aware of them it is best to be aware of them before the event, rather than after the event. keith wilson talking of. —— talking about. professorjamie waterall is public health england's national lead for cardio vascular disease prevention, and joins us now. very good morning to you. given that keith had a heart attack, that is the voice you listen to. it is important. bring us up—to—date, he
6:52 am
is well and everything is good? p&o we re is well and everything is good? p&o were talking yesterday. he is doing tremendous work in liverpool, he is working at the hospital where he had his treatment —— we were talking yesterday. it was telling me yesterday. it was telling me yesterday about, he is really passionate now to try to prevent other people like him having a heart attack. so keith has familial hypercholesterolaemia. it is a difficult medical term to say. you run really high levels of cholesterol. those individuals that have that will absolutely have a heart attack or stroke within their third orfourth decade. the ambitions we are calling for today wa nts to ambitions we are calling for today wants to see a greater number of those individuals identified early to prevent those heart attacks and strokes. one of the headlines to this is no your numbers, so to speak, know your cholesterol level, know your blood pressure, understand those numbers. deep will find their mind—boggling. and there are 70 variants. with that condition, not
6:53 am
eve ryo ne variants. with that condition, not everyone has that, he will have different numbers, and different races, i know for asians we are supposedly tending towards high cholesterol. how do you know what the correct number is for you and to be able to stick to it?” the correct number is for you and to be able to stick to it? i think it is getting easier. i know it has been difficult in the past to understand. people will say what is a good blood pressure? had amono if i have a good blood pressure? but most phones these days will have information you can easily put your numbers in and it tells you what it really m ea ns numbers in and it tells you what it really means —— how do i know. we have a really good heart age test, if you go online and do the test you can put your blood pressure and cholesterol result in... i don't know my blood pressure. i probably had it taken one month ago and i still don't know what it is. and i am nota still don't know what it is. and i am not a dummy. that is why it is important that we remember the numbers. you probably reham your pin number... because i use it everyday —— you probably remember. number... because i use it everyday -- you probably remember. we have to get to a point where people know the
6:54 am
numbers really matter and they will either lead you dying or... is one more thing. i don't want to be a killjoy about this, at all, but if i use my pin number every day how am i supposed in my blood pressure every day? we have to make it easier for people to know their blood pressure. the british heart foundation is doing work right now across england to try to look at how we make it easierfor people to to try to look at how we make it easier for people to get their blood pressure checked. where i work in public health england we have blood pressure machines in the office, so people can do their own blood pressure. we have been in a place before where it has been hard to get your blood pressure taken. people have seen it as some think we do in hospitals or gp settings. but we need to make it more available and easy to do. i don't you think how this works in practice. you go to yourgp, this works in practice. you go to your gp, have this works in practice. you go to yourgp, have in this works in practice. you go to your gp, have in the past to say everything is fine? —— i am trying to thing. they do the test and people are familiar with the airbag on your arm, people are familiar with the airbag on yourarm, for example, people are familiar with the airbag on your arm, for example, and everything is fine. what are you supposed to do, they give you the
6:55 am
number, you write it down, put it on yourfridge? i number, you write it down, put it on your fridge? i do number, you write it down, put it on yourfridge? i do have works in practice. if they tell you the number, chances are you are not going to remember it. what is it? number, chances are you are not going to remember it. what is mm isa numberovera going to remember it. what is mm is a number over a number. you are not going to remember that. is a number over a number. you are not going to remember thatm is a number over a number. you are not going to remember that. it can be easier. first thing, charlie, you said you go to your gp. you don't have to go to your gp. we have pharmacy departments that will offer blood pressure testing. like we said, we want to get it into workplaces and into places where it is easy for people to go to and it is easy for people to go to and it is to become easier to understand what those results mean. that is why we are doing things like this. can i just say, a few months ago, when we launched a version of the heart age test, in one day alone we had over 2 million people fully complete that information, fully complete that test. i think people want to know what their numbers mean and, given that this is the leading cause...”
6:56 am
think you are right. i think people do want to know. i think the challenge is, and that is all we are asking, is how you make this part of our daily routines? because i genuinely don't see how people are going to automatically switch in fa ct i going to automatically switch in fact i will take my blood pressure every day or every week or i will keep an eye on my cholesterol level. you take cholesterol by taking blood? yes. the great thing, england has a programme called the nhs help check programme, for people aged a0-7a to check programme, for people aged a0—7a to get help check every year. u nfortu nately, currently a0—7a to get help check every year. unfortunately, currently only about 50% of people take up the offer. we wa nt 50% of people take up the offer. we want more people taking up the offer of these ways of finding out those numbers. but just remember, cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of premature death and ill—health, but it is largely preventable... ill—health, but it is largely preventable. . . professor, ill—health, but it is largely preventable... professor, thank you very much for coming in this morning. thank you. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news.

hello. good morning. today is set to feel much like spring once more. it will stay dry, there's more sunshine to come in the forecast. and in the sunshine it will fill pleasantly warm, too, for this time of year. temperatures have dipped below freezing and some of the rural spots and there are quite a few mist patches out there. quite dense in places, particularly out towards western areas, parts of berkshire and surrey, where it will lift and clear as we had through the morning. but there should be lots of sunshine just about everywhere, a bit more high cloud, perhaps, here and there, through the afternoon, but plenty of sunshine. top temperatures of 13 or 1a degrees celsius in central london and just a light southerly breeze around, too. now, through this evening and overnight we keep the clear skies, a starry night to come. but there will be a touch of frost forming, again, in the rural spots. temperatures dipping just below freezing and mist and fog patches, mostly developing towards western home counties. tomorrow is set to be even warmer. highs of 1a or 15 celsius.

good morning. uk fishermen voted overwhelmingly for brexit to regain control of our waters, but most of what is caught and sold here is sold to the european union. so what does brexit mean for the fishermen of scotland? brexit mean for the fishermen of scotland ? i brexit mean for the fishermen of scotland? i have been finding out this morning. it was a night when the son shone for tottenham on one of spurs's greatest ever nights in europe. heung min son got the first of three goals as they beat the german league—leaders borusia dortmund at wembley. good morning. we have a beautiful sunrise here in london. i am on the roof of the colosseum, home to english national opera. i will tell you why later. it is a frosty start for parts of england and wales with some dense fog but there will be a lot of sunshine for many parts of the uk today with the odd splash of rain across the north—west. i'll have more details in 15 minutes. good morning.

it's thursday, 1ath february. our top story: a london schoolgirl who left britain as a 15—year—old to join the islamic state group says she wants to come home. speaking to the times, shamima begum, who is now 19, married to an islamic state fighter and nine months pregnant, says she wants to have her third child in the uk. chi chi izundu reports. pictured for the first time in almost four years in a camp in northern syria, shamima begum, one of the three schoolgirls from bethnal green who left to join the islamic state group, which by then already had a murderous reputation. just 15 when they went, she told the times about their arrival in is territory. she told the times reporter, anthony loyd, that her friend
7:03 am
kadiza sultana was killed in an airstrike. but she said the third bethnal green girl, amira abase, was still alive two weeks ago. and shamima begum doesn't accept they made a mistake in the islamic state group. but she does say while she was with is she lost to make children through malnutrition and sickness. she is now nine months pregnant with her third child and is desperate to get back to the uk. the home office says anyone taking part in conflict in syria or iraq must expect to be investigated by police, to determine whether they have committed criminal offences and to ensure that they do not pose a threat
7:04 am
to national security. the plane maker airbus has announced plans to stop production of the superjumbo, the a380, from 2021. airbus has a number of sites in the uk. it makes wings at its factory in broughton in north wales. 0ur reporter daffyd evans is there this morning. daffyd, we look at the sign behind you actually, sharing the love is the picture right now, and they are advertising forjobs as well, but there is a press conference under way as we speak i understand, a little more detail is emerging. yeah, there is not enough love in the industry for the a380, the airbus's flagship aircraft, not enough love it would seem. this plant, this is where the wings are
7:05 am
made, 6000 people employed directly here across north wales and the north—west. so the potential axing, the prospect of the main flagship being axed, that does raise questions aboutjobs here. the a380, huge 800 seater super jumbo, questions aboutjobs here. the a380, huge 800 seater superjumbo, never really took off, sales lagged behind the main competitor boeing dreamliner. talks with emirates stalled last year over a further border and that is what both companies announced, mres will receive fewer a380s going forward —— emirates. that means production could cease in 2021. some see that as good news, the end of a loss—making project, what that means forjobs is loss—making project, what that means for jobs is unclear. loss—making project, what that means forjobs is unclear. it could spread across germany, france, spain and
7:06 am
the uk. any announcement might not come for a good couple of years. people here make lots of wings for different models of aircraft, and last year was a bit of a record—breaking year for airbus in terms of deliveries, topping 800 aircraft across the globe. and on the back of that announcement with emirates this morning airbus have announced strong profit results for the last year, just a profit of 5.8 billion euros, so next —— a mixed picture for airbus. there is plenty of work here, the backlog for airbus is around 7500 aircraft. daffyd, for the moment, thank you, and we understand there is a press conference under way. we will bring you more details as they come in. theresa may is facing the threat of another rebellion by her own backbenchers today as she tries to preserve support for her brexit plan.
7:07 am
the commons is due to vote on the next steps in the process, and some of the most hardline tory brexiteers have said they cannot back the motion as it currently stands. joining us now from westminster is our political correspondent jonathan blake. good to see you. there are divisions in both parties, labour and the conservatives, all while the whole of the house tries to agree on brexit. yes, this should have been a relatively straightforward day for the prime minister in this long—running brexit process, coming back to parliament just long—running brexit process, coming back to parliamentjust over a fortnight after mps gave her their backing to support the brexit deal if she could get key changes to it over the northern ireland backstop designed to keep an open border between northern ireland and the republic if a trade deal can't be done. the trouble is the wording of the motion that the government has put forward for mps to vote on today is causing problems. some conservative brexiteers say that it implies that parliament would not support a no—deal brexit and they believe it is important to keep that as an option to strengthen the
7:08 am
government's hand in negotiations with the eu. now, downing street are clearly worried that a lot of conservative mps will vote against it, saying that if they do it with significantly damaged theresa may's prospects of being able to get that deal with brussels. prospects of being able to get that dealwith brussels. ok, prospects of being able to get that deal with brussels. ok, jonathan, thanks very much. nhs england is encouraging people to have their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked in a bid to reduce the number of heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases. health experts warn that millions of people are unaware they are at risk because many of the conditions associated with cardiovascular disease carry no symptoms. here's our health correspondent dominic hughes. let's just put this on your hand. having your blood pressure taken or getting your cholesterol tested. these are simple steps that can alert us to the danger of developing cardiovascular disease. through heart attack, stroke, and dementia it's the main cause of premature death and disability in england. but health experts are warning that not enough of us that if we are at risk. large numbers of people are dying prematurely from cardiovascular disease, which is largely
7:09 am
a preventable condition. so that's why today we're launching these new ambitions focusing on the big risk factors, the big causes for cardiovascular disease, and we are referring to this is the abcs of prevention — atrial fibrillation, blood pressure, and cholesterol. in order to tackle cardiovascular disease, within the next decade doctors want to be able to detect and treat 80% of all those with high blood pressure, to check the cholesterol levels of three quarters of all a0—to—75—year—olds, and assess their risk of cardiovascular disease, and to treat, with statins, a5% of those found to be at high risk. these checks can be done quickly and easily by a gp or a practice nurse. doctors say we all know our bank pin numbers, but not the important numbers relating to our blood pressure and cholesterol that could save our lives. dominic hughes, bbc news. detectives are continuing to question a 27—year—old man held

on suspicion of murder, after three pensioners were killed in their homes in exeter. police are linking the deaths by the level of violence used. we'rejoined now from exeter by our news correspondent sarah ransome. good morning to you. just bring us up—to—date. good morning to you. just bring us up-to-date. yeah, the people in this quiet city of exeter are talking about this triple murder investigation that detectives have described as an unprecedented event in the city. it all began on monday afternoon when emergency services we re afternoon when emergency services were called to a property about a mile or so from here near the city's railway station where they found the body of an 80—year—old man. just 20 hours later they were called here where they found the bodies of two other men, dick and roger carter, identical twins. the investigations

we re identical twins. the investigations were initially treated as two separate enquiries, but later tuesday evening they were brought together as one overarching triple murder investigation. now, detectives say that it is a fast moving and complex investigation. you might be able to see some of the floral tributes that are there. as you say, there is a 27—year—old man who is currently being held in custody on suspicion of murder. he is being questioned about that. many members from the debenham police force across the county have been called in to continue with this investigation, and detectives have asked for the community to pull together and for people to check on elderly relatives and neighbours in the area. thank you. the duchess of cornwall has condemned celebrity—inspired fad diets and warned that young people were risking their health by obsessing over clean eating. the duchess gave the warning as she told of her family's struggle with osteoporosis, a debilitating bone disease that killed her mother and grandmother. mayors and city leaders from across the uk are calling
7:12 am
on the government to do more to tackle poor air quality. the group is pushing for 100 percent clean air by 2050 and are asking for £1.5 billion bill to encourage people to scrap polluting vehicles and use public transport. the government says it is already investing £3.5 billion in reducing pollution and the forthcoming environment bill will include new legislation on air quality. this is a story that has upset me and some people on social media this morning as well. we are very concerned about the future of 0ppy. don't worry too much, 0ppy is a robot, not a person. it is a robot that worked very hard. nasa says the 0pportunity rover it sent to mars has ended its mission eight months after losing contact.
7:13 am
the robot spent 15 years sending data back to earth and had one of the most fruitful missions in the history of space exploration. designed to lastjust 90 days, 0pportunity landed on mars in 200a and instead decided it would stay awhile, spending the next decade and a half roving over the eerie martian landscape, reliably sending postcards back home. including proof that water, the necessary building block of life, did indeed flow at one point in martian history. but then a summer dust storm covered the rover‘s solar panels and on the 10th ofjune it sent back this image — before falling silent. now, after sending thousands of unreturned messages over the past eight months, scientists have come to the inevitable conclusion, opportunity is no more. it is therefore that i am standing here with a sense of deep appreciation and gratitude that i declare the 0pportunity mission as complete. and, with it, the mars exploration rover mission as complete.
7:14 am
but mars exploration isn't over yet. a new rover will be launched in 2020. and curiosity, which landed in 2012, is still covering ground. like many on social media, it offered its own eltonjohn tribute to its fallen fore—runner, saying... but the death of the rover some have nicknamed 0ppy marks the end of the longest—serving space robot, which gave us the first glimpses of hope of the possibility of life elsewhere. kim gittleson, bbc news. your candle burned out long ago, but your science never will. there is another way of looking at that. 0ppy might be out there and operational but has chosen to work for someone
7:15 am
else entirely. oppy is on its own. just because it is no longer in contact with vast that does not mean it is not out there doing nothing. you think it might be talking to someone else. another day, another set of brexit debates and votes. but what, if anything, will today's achieve? joining us now from westminster to help answer that, is nicola bartlett, the political correspondent for the daily mirror. good morning. thank you forjoining us. i think a lot of people will be watching saint what is happening today, what do you mean an other boat, about what?! yes, ithink today, what do you mean an other boat, about what?! yes, i think that isafair boat, about what?! yes, i think that is a fair question. it is really not about anything you today. this is almost playing for time, as it were, theresa may is going back to mps to get them to support high policy of trying to get a change to the withdrawal agreement. this is almost
7:16 am
a confirmation of what mps voted on in. two weeks ago. that is what happened when they said they wanted a change to the backstop, the controversial irish backstop arrangement. the problem is, on the day, mps also voted to indicate that they did not support an ideal. and thatis they did not support an ideal. and that is the tricky part for the prime minister. that is the part that my erupt today. what the prime minister has done is really difficult to explain. for the timeline, the 16th of january, difficult to explain. for the timeline, the 16th ofjanuary, mps rejected theresa may's deal. 0n the 29th there were amendments, a couple went through. now theresa may is going back and she has another motion, doesn't she? and that is upsetting some of her backbenches and some of the brexiteers, because they say actually she is getting
7:17 am
round somebody promises that needed to be made on the 29th of january. yes. that is the real problem. initially there was some talk that this could be a big showdown. we we re this could be a big showdown. we were all gearing up for a big valentine's day showed our body prime minister. she seems to have saved that initially by saying that there will be a other vote. yes, another one. on the 27th of february. and that would be a chance for mps to have another meaningful say, as it were on the progress he has made. that looks like it had quietened some mps, probably more upbeat remain aside in the tory party, not to rebel today. —— remainer site. the problem is you have the hard brexiteers, the members of the european research group, who are really unhappy because as part of that holding motion that she has put into daily, she has got this reaffirmation of
7:18 am
what was decided two weeks ago, which is that parliament does not support no deal. they say that no deal is really important. it is part of the uk's negotiating hand you have that on the table, because it is so catastrophic to the eu. then you also have some hard brexiteers who want no deal, who think no deal is what brexiteers, it is crashing out without any deal at all in place, any further relationship going forward. those are people who are starting to flex their muscles. there are some talk, up to 50 of those tory mps could vote with the government today. it is not clear whether they will abstain or vote against. but they have already indicated that they won't be supporting the prime minister. it is one of those things, as soon as she seems to at least one group of mps,
7:19 am
another group pops up their heads and reminds them, reminds her that they are there and they have got her as well. nicola, ever so briefly, how do you keep everyone interested in what is going at the moment. you hear the words meaningful vote, every vote is meaningful, surely, have you keep people interested and tell them this is important?” have you keep people interested and tell them this is important? i think is really difficult, because in a sense a loss of this is very much about the process, this is an other parliamentary stage —— lot. there is a sense that there is very little movement from the outside. that is the point with all of this, if there are changes they are almost incremental. there was some change from the prime minister when she spoke to the commons on tuesday, and she was trying to be, i think, more conciliatory to opposing views. she was talking about workers' rights and her intention to entrench them
7:20 am
in law. now people may be sceptical about that, but she is obviously trying to reach out across the house to wavering labour mps. and the point, really, is trying to remember how important the whole process is an following the day to day, the movements may be tiny, but when it comes down to this might be, as it has been, really, the whole way through, a numbers game. there is some sense from labour and others that the prime minister is running down the clock. that she is just going to let this go and go until there is almost no choice but to back her, for mps who want to avoid ano back her, for mps who want to avoid a no deal. and the prime minister is insisting that she is able to get something from the eu, get them to move. are going to have to interrupt. i'm so sorry. talking about running down the clock, we have done it. we have run out of time. thank you. we are going a little bit rapunzel
7:21 am
now. high above, shall we go to the picture? high above the streets of london a maiden is trapped atop a building. she is waving. there she is. charlie, come and rescue me. good morning! i feel like rapunzel. i just live longer hair. i am on top of the coliseum because it is home to the english national opera. why? you will find out in a few minutes. this morning, it is a cold start to the day, particular across england and wales. priced around. the other thing to watch out for, if you have not yet gone out, there is dense fog around across southern and eastern parts of wales and also the southern half of england generally. take some extra ca re. half of england generally. take some extra care. some of that will be slow to live. for the next few days we are looking at mild conditions prevailing. yesterday we hit an
7:22 am
unseasonably mild 1a degrees in kinloss. today we could hit 15, somewhere around the moray firth or wales, tomorrow we could hit 16 degrees. you can see why. we are pulling in this southern wind from the azores. yellow was right across the azores. yellow was right across the british isles, telling us it is mild. watch out that file, patchy mist as well. that will lift, some of it slowly. for england and wales we are looking at a dry and sunny day. more cloud in the west of wales at the moment and northern england, but that will turn to break. scotla nd but that will turn to break. scotland and northern ireland, more cloudless morning with spots of rain. the ranger tend to fade. you will see hazy sunshine. north—east once again things are bluescope —— the the rain should tend. 1a, possibly 15 today, especially around the moray firth and parts of wales. as we had through the evening and overnight, under the cliff that it will be culled. the temperature will drop quite quickly. some of us will
7:23 am
see frost. —— cold. the other thing to watch out for is dense fog. in very similar areas to what we are looking at this morning. part of the midlands, southern and south—eastern england, into the south—west, and parts of wales. tomorrow that will be slow to lift, maybe take much of the morning for adults. in a lot of dry weather around tomorrow morning. in the north—west we will see a new weather front coming our way, introducing some rain and strengthening winds. tomorrow's temperatures could hit 16 degrees in some parts of the uk. the average top to bottom is 6—9. as we head into saturday, their weather front coming in on friday will continue to drift south eastwards, getting into the far south of england and south wales. it will produce some drizzle across the south—west and parts of wales. through the day it will start to move further north. if you are ahead of it there will be sunshine, drizzle across western scotland, and then the weather front comes in and
7:24 am
it will bring in some rain across the rest of scotland. as i mentioned, the english national 0pera. let us look at exactly why we are here. here i am at the colosseum, home to the english national opera for over 50 years. tonight's performance is la boheme by puccini. before it starts i will go backstage and meet some of the cast. i think it's a great one to start with. it's got a lovely story that people can relate to, it is about love and relationships. i would say it is a very accessible opera. we are the english national opera. everything is in english here. hopefully, if we articulate enough, you will be able to understand us completely. you are in for a treat. do you get nervous before a performance? always before opening night.
7:25 am
i would not wish opening night nerves on anyone. the coliseum is the largest theatre in london's west end and it is the job of the artistic director daniel kramer to fill the 2359 seats. you're hoping to do that with first timers like me. how are you going to do it? well, it's about a spectrum of work. something for everybody. if you love a huge commercial musical you'll love la boheme. if you like film score music then you will enjoy this. breaking down barriers to opera is why we are here, to help people understand it is not about what you will hear. the ticket prices are affordable. 500 tickets to every single performance are 20 quid. that is cheaper than a movie in leicester square. the company, in an effort to increase diversity,
7:26 am
has just announced they are adding four more singers from a black, asian, and mixed ethnic background to their chorus of a0. currently, there is only one. i think if there more parents within the ethnic minorities to take an interest and send their to music lessons, then we might then we might have an influx of more ethnic minorities involved in the art. i think those that i know who are doing very well, their parents insisted on them doing lessons. i think that is probably where we need to start. not long until showtime. the orchestra are tuning their instruments. natalia and nicholas singers are warming up. stewart, the ceo of the english national opera, i cannot wait. this sounds fabulous. it sounds good. i think you will be crying by the end. it is about to start. singing.
7:27 am
oh my goodness, that was brilliant! i did not know if i would like something that was pure singing, but it was amazing. notjust the singing, but the acting, it was moving. it make you laugh, cry, feel good. it was brilliant. it so inspired us that rumour has it that carol will sing from the top of coliseum this morning.” that carol will sing from the top of coliseum this morning. i can confirm that rumour. there is where she is this morning. we would have spoken to about about it but she is
7:28 am
rehearsing. she is warming up those vocal chords. the crowds are gathering. she will be singing from the rooftops around 8:a0am here on brea kfast. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sara 0rchard. around a 100 people attended a vigil last night for the missing student libby squire. the 21—year—old hasn't been seen since the 31st of january following a night out in hull where she was at university. her parents were at a special service for her at their local church in west wycombe. we are so far from hull and we wanted to offer some support. so many people said what can we do? and this was a way of love and fellowship for libby and herfamily and all her friends and the community. rogue landlords in one north london borough could face fines of up to £30,000 if their housing is substandard or dangerous. haringey council will now require those who rent out houses for multiple tenants to hold a licence. it's being rolled out in response to concerns that some landlords have
7:29 am
been failing to tackle problems such as antisocial behaviour while taking rent for substandard accommodation. haringey council's cabinet yesterday approved plans to force all landlords in the borough renting out houses in multiple occupation to hold a licence. the installation of over 20,000 led street lights in the london borough of brent could save money — while making the borough more environmentally friendly. the new lights are said to reduce carbon emissions by 62% as well as saving £850,000 a year on reduced energy and maintenance costs. by 2030, brent council hopes to save over £9 million. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes this morning: the bakerloo line has minor delays between stonebridge park and harrow & wealdstone due to a signal failure. 0n the trains: thameslink services between elephant and castle and shortlands via catford are suspended due to over running engineering works. while southeastern services continue with replacement buses between lewisham and dartford following monday's landslide. 0n the roads — there's northbound
7:30 am
traffic on the blackwall tunnel southern approach from the woolwich rd flyover. in shoreditch, old street is closed eastbound from great eastern street to curtain road for electricity work. now the weather with elizabeth rizzini. hello. good morning. today is set to feel very much like spring once more. it will stay dry, there's more sunshine to come in the forecast. and in the sunshine it will feel pleasantly warm, too, for this time of year. it's quite a chilly start. temperatures have dipped below freezing and some of the rural spots and there are quite a few mist patches out there. quite dense in places, particularly out towards western areas, parts of berkshire and surrey, where it will slowly lift and clear as we had through the morning. but there should be lots of sunshine just about everywhere, a bit more high cloud, perhaps, here and there, through the afternoon, but plenty of sunshine. top temperatures of 13 or 1a degrees celsius in central london and just a light southerly breeze around, too. now, through this evening and overnight we keep the clear skies, a nice starry night to come. but there will be a touch of frost forming, again, in the rural spots. temperatures dipping just below
7:31 am
freezing and mist and fog patches, mostly developing towards western home counties. now, tomorrow is set to be even warmer. highs of 1a or 15 degrees celsius. perhaps more sunshine around. it will turn cloudier on saturday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. it's just on 7:30am. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. a london schoolgirl who left britain as a 15—year—old to join the islamic state group says she wants to come home. speaking to the times from a refuee camp in syria, shamima begum, who is now 19, married to an islamic state fighter and nine months pregnant, says she has no regrets but wants to have her third child in the uk.
7:32 am
the home office says anyone who returns to the uk after travelling to is territory faces criminal investigation. the plane maker airbus, which has factories in the uk, has announced plans to cease production of the superjumbo, the a380, from 2021. it's the world's biggest passenger aircraft, but the manufacturer says it has failed to secure sufficient orders to maintain production. a380 parts are made at factories in filton and north wales. theresa may is facing the threat of another rebellion by her own backbenchers today as she tries to preserve support for her brexit plan. the commons is due to vote on the next steps in the process, and some of the most hardline tory brexiteers have said they cannot back the motion as it currently stands, claiming it effectively means abandoning a no—deal option. detectives are continuing to question a 27—year—old man held on suspicion of murder after three pensioners were killed in their homes in exeter. the bodies of two 8a—year—old twins and that of an 80—year—old man were found less than 2a hours apart
7:33 am
at two separate addresses. police are linking the attacks due to the level of violence used against the victims. nhs england is encouraging people to have their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked in a bid to cut the number of heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases. health experts warn that millions of people are unaware they are at risk because many of the conditions associated with cardiovascular disease carry no symptoms. 5 million people are estimated to have undiagnosed high blood pressure in england. large numbers of people are dying prematurely from cardiovascular disease, which is largely a preventable condition. so that is why today we are launching these new ambitions focusing on the big risk factors, the big causes for cardiovascular disease. and we are referring to this as the abcs of prevention — atrial fibrillation, blood pressure and cholesterol. and if we improve the detection management of these conditions, we could prevent 150,000 heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases over the next ten years. the shadow chancellorjohn

mcdonnell has branded winston churchill a villain during a question and answer session with the politico website. mr mcdonnell was referring to the tonypandy riots in 1910, during which churchill sent troops to control striking miners and one miner was killer. conservative mp sir nicholas soames, grandson of the former prime minister, described the comments as "a very foolish and stupid thing to say." iam going i am going to finish with quickfire questions. 0ne i am going to finish with quickfire questions. one word answers. who is your favourite tory? next. winston churchill, hero or villain? villain. mayors and city leaders from across the uk are calling on the government to do more to tackle poor air quality. the group is pushing for 100 percent
7:35 am
clean air by 2050 and are asking for £1.5 billion to encourage people to scrap polluting vehicles, and use public transport. the government says it is already investing £3.5 billion in reducing pollution and the forthcoming environment bill will include new legislation on air quality. nasa says the 0pportunity rover it sent to mars has ended its mission eight months after losing contact. the robot spent 15 years sending data back to earth and had one of the most fruitful missions in the history of space exploration. 0ppy, as the rover was affectionatly known, confirmed that water once flowed on the red planet. the robot hasn't been heard from sincejune when it was hit by a dust storm. that is it. you are feeling upset about that. i really am. you could
7:36 am
have been a different scenario, it could have met another robot and they switched off their communication and disappeared into the sunset. needing some privacy, thatis the sunset. needing some privacy, that is what you are saying? charlie was suggesting that, i hope so. anyway, apologies for being early. i was excited to tell you about the son signing on the spurs last night. whenever he has scored this season they have gone on to win. the match? yes, when he scores the manager goes for a shower to put up his feet because he knows the outcome! laughter. mauricio pochettino called his tottenham players heroes after they beat borussia dortmund 3—0 in the first leg of their champions league match at wembley. patrick gearey reports. 0ne glory, glory night despite everything. in a ground they should have left against opponents rated among europe's best, tottenham thrived. among their many challenges is doing without the goals of the injured england captain harry kane. it requires the likes of lucas moura to improvise. but in nature, yellow and black is a warning.
7:37 am
borussia dortmund lead the german league, and it took goalkeeper hugo lloris to prevent them from leading the tie. in his fingertips tottenham's grip grew stronger. minutes into the second half jan vertonghen picked out their favourite son, heung—min son, makes the brilliant a routine. vertonghen by trade is a grizzled centre—back who had undergone some transformation. here he was upfront making it 2—0, that is why nickname is superjan. christian eriksen aimed another with the substitute fernando llore nte. three. spurs supporters dream not of getting to wembley but of leaving for their new ground which is now several months late. their team it seems are moving far faster. next up it is back to the premier league and burnley. now, is it ok to switch allegiance in international football? west ham's declan rice has opted to play for england in international football, despite having already played three times for the republic of ireland, the country where his grand parents were born.
7:38 am
his appearances were all in friendlies, hence he can still make the switch. in a statement on twitter, rice said that followed his head and heart. there's been a lot of reaction to this story on social media. former ireland winger kevin kilbane said, "if you're a ‘proud englishman,‘ then why play for us in the first place?" meanwhile, gary lineker was very happy with rice's decision, doing his own version of tottenham's harry kane song, "he's one of our own, he's one of our own. declan rice, he's one of our own." 0ften songs are repetitive because they are easy to learn. that is the thinking i think. a minute's silence was held at wembley and at grounds around the country last night out of respect for gordon banks, the world cup—winning england goalkeeper who's died aged 81. and there was one special tribute yesterday. the brazilian legend, pele, whose header banks memorably saved at the 1970 world cup, released a video message dedicated to banks whom he called one of his best friends. translation: beyond being friends outside the football pitch,
7:39 am
we played in the same team, because banks was a great person, and this news makes all of us who love football, who like the good and nice people, it makes us very sad. so let's pray that his family and friends don't suffer too much and that god receives him with all of his love in heaven. you wanted to see the so—called big baby that anthonyjoshua is going to fight injune. we can show you. first, though, this isjoshua, who was last in action back in september. but miller will be something different. he's nicknamed big baby because he weighed a whopping 22.5 stone at his last fight. he gave himself he ironic name and in the past used to walk into the ring wearing a nappy and sucking on a dummy. i think we are going to see him. we are trying to bring those pictures to you. there he is, look. the name is ironic. he gave it himself. you are right, in the past, he said he
7:40 am
used to walk into the ring wearing a nappy and sucking a dummy. really? it sounds like going back to the old days of wrestling when they had nicknames. it is the entertainment pa rt nicknames. it is the entertainment part of it. i once thought the hacker in rugby —— haka. but a big man walking in with a dummy and nappy i think would be more intimate date in. in a boxing contest i don't think that would be... —— intimidating. i did once wrestle against mcfluff, one of the world's top wrestlers. his iconic image was a pink leotard. really? yeah. there was an air —— american ressler who came in walking a giant plank. was he called the plank? the lumberjack
7:41 am
or something. laughter. that tickled me. we've had our first look at the car that lewis hamilton is going to be driving in formula one this season. mercedes showed it off yesterday at silverstone. hamilton won his fifth world title in the mercedes last season, but he says he wants to keep pushing. horse racing is back underway after a six day break because of equine flu, with the authorities now confident they've contained the virus. stables and courses have had to go through stringent measures before the suspension was lifted. four meetings went ahead yesterday. one of those came at plumpton, and there was a big roar for the first race, but it wasn't what you'd normally expect to see at the course. this is the space hopper derby, the grand hop gold cup, which raises money for the injured jockeys fund. a couple of fallers there but the winner, on the near side of your screen, was tom scudamore. that is cheating! i think that will call for a ban. very good technique
7:42 am
at the front. a great jockey and a great space move as well, you require a certain balance and technique. it is a stuart's enquiry you would have. yes, there will be more than that. —— steward's. fingers crossed it can continue all the way to cheltenham. thank you very much. over the past few weeks we've been on a road trip round the uk finding out how businesses are preparing for brexit. this morning is the sixth stop on ourtourand we're looking at fishing. so many questions in relation to brexit. ben's at peterhead fish market in aberdeenshire. morning, ben. good morning. iam good morning. i am scared of being sold here. this is an option under way and it is frantic. take a look at what's happening here. all of these fish have been caught off the waters here in the last couple of
7:43 am
days are being sold today, they will end up all over europe. this habit is going for around 120 quid. all sorts of stuff going on here —— haddock. there are big worries about brexit. this is perishable and it can't sit around in the port if there are delays. and yet overwhelmingly many of the fishermen in this part of the world voted for brexit, they just wanted in this part of the world voted for brexit, theyjust wanted to regain control of the waters around here and particularly the quotas that determine what they can and can't fish. let me introduce you to graham, good morning. i can see you have been buying a lot this morning. your name is on a lot of things. give mea your name is on a lot of things. give me a sense of what you're buying and where it ends up?” give me a sense of what you're buying and where it ends up? i have been buying a lot of cod this year, this will end up in france tomorrow morning. tomorrow morning? tomorrow morning. tomorrow morning? tomorrow morning. that is how quick it will get there? yes. what are you worried about at the end of march? this is perishable, it has to go quickly. if
7:44 am
there are delays, what does it mean to your business? looking into this, there will be more paperwork, more forms to fill in, the trucks won't be able to go until they rubberstamp the document, that is a hold—up, there will be a hold—up at the other end with customs they are telling us that the m25 could have one or two days' delay, that would be a big problem. some would say why not sell more to the uk, why to europe? problem. some would say why not sell more to the uk, why to europe7m problem. some would say why not sell more to the uk, why to europe? it is a specie in the uk we are not used to. they are trying it in more restau ra nts, ha ke to. they are trying it in more restaurants, ha ke and to. they are trying it in more restaurants, hake and ling, but more often and not we don't eat it in the uk but yes it is a good question, maybe we should. i will let you get on with it because it is a busy morning. thank you. bryce, you are an expert from the university of york. what is so interesting is how much we import and export. it is not what we think. interestingly, most of what we catch is exported and most of what we eat is imported. why
7:45 am
do we do that? i was saying to graham, why not sell it in the uk? is it about what we want to eat and changing habits, meaning we don't wa nt changing habits, meaning we don't want what is fished here? no, so british people tend to have a fairly narrow sort of range of fish that they eat, so particularly cod and haddock forfish they eat, so particularly cod and haddock for fish and chips and then tuna, prawns, salmon as well. there isa tuna, prawns, salmon as well. there is a huge diversity of fish here in the market, but most of it wouldn't be of interest to british consumers. so it goes overseas to europe where we have more diverse taste. let's talk about what it means, in terms of potentially tariffs, potentially delays at the border, and we just don't know, but this could really be affected, putting it? yes, it really could. fish here particularly gets price because it is a fresh premium product. so if it sits around on the motorway or at the border for several days, which seems likely,
7:46 am
that will really affect its price. in fact sometimes it will go off altogether and that would be terrible. one thing to contend with. it is good to talk to you. as you can see, this place is a really busy place, this morning a specially, and we have found out, from speaking with these fishermen, despite everything we've explained to you there is optimism about getting control of the borders and the waters to make sure that they have a bit more control over what they fish, but also to say, look, invest in the uk fishing industry. the number of ships coming in with fish on board has fallen pretty drastically since the 19705, so what they are hoping i5 drastically since the 19705, so what they are hoping is it will kick5tart investment in the fishing industry in scotland and right around the border that will make this place viable again. as it can see very bu5y this morning but clearly a lot of issues to contend with right now. and i am going to move before i get sold because i am not very pricey. laughter. that would be a fishy
7:47 am

7:51 am
good morning. thank you for talking to us. can you tell me what you think will happen in the commons today and why it matters to our viewers? well, what we need to do today in the house of commons is to recognise that we are not an internal debating society and what we say will be listened to beyond our borders, particularly in europe. the debate today is an opportunity to show that the house of commons is behind the prime minister in her bid to renegotiate the irish backstop, because those who are watching, if they believe we have a united parliament that would deliver an agreement with the european union, if those changes were made, then they are more likely to make that happen. if we get division and conflicting messages it is likely to send a negative signal. we have a
7:52 am
responsibility to day, i think, to show that parliament is speaking with one voice. you have that responsibility, i don't think anyone will disagree with it. the fact is that responsibility not been adopted. the conservative party is itself divided, brexiteers, remainers, whatever you want to call them, they are divided. there is an accusation that the prime minister knows this and is using a series of amendments and motions to run the clock down and vague commitments. well, the commitment that we voted for with the graham brady's amendment was that the house of commons would support the deal with the european union that the prime minister has set out if there was a guarantee that britain would not be locked in to a permanent arrangement via the irish backstop. that has not been guaranteed yet. that is what the prime minister is negotiating. i think our european partners will be watching to see if they make those concessions. this apartment likely than to pass that agreement we have to be very aware... —— the
7:53 am
government. it would be listened to those who are negotiating with the uk. you are the international trade secretary. how long will this take? how days that we got? 26 working daysin how days that we got? 26 working days in parliament. well, actually, my department is not involved with the negotiations in europe. my suggestion was that you know how to negotiate. taking this negotiation, how long will it take theresa may to negotiate the backstop? it has not happened so far. an agreement has not been reached for today's votes. a lot of negotiation is going on. a lot of cabinet colleagues and the tea m lot of cabinet colleagues and the team have been talking to our counterparts. we have been making the case that it is in everybody‘s advantage that we get an agreement. talking about the fishing industry, it is in everybody‘s agreed —— advantage that we have an agreement and a smooth exit to the european union and are then able to negotiate
7:54 am
a sound trading agreement that gives both sides the freedom of flexibility that we need.” both sides the freedom of flexibility that we need. i am very pleased you are watching earlier, doctor liam fox, because you would have seen the gentleman talking to our business correspondence about a really simple, it might seem simple, but very serious issues. he has fish thatis but very serious issues. he has fish that is to be sold it will be delivered tomorrow. can you do guarantee that on the 29th of march that he will be able to get to his buyers and keep his business going? that is the whole point of getting an agreement. can you guarantee it? what was interesting about that peace was that it showed it was two ways. what we catch we tend to export and what we want to eat we import. that is european exporters. it is in everybody‘s interest because it would not be just —— disadvantageous in an ideal situation for just the uk,
7:55 am
disadvantageous in an ideal situation forjust the uk, but disadvantageous in an ideal situation for just the uk, but for those european fisheries. there would be disruption on both sides. we need to understand that. which is why getting the correct message to our european partners is so important. can you guarantee that his hall will be delivered on the 30th of march had no problems and his business will be intact? 30th of march had no problems and his business will be intact7m 30th of march had no problems and his business will be intact? if we getan his business will be intact? if we get an agreement with the european union trade will continue as it is. if we don't get an agreement there is likely to be disruption. that is what members of parliament will have to remember when debating this today. i am going to take that as you can't guarantee it. i need to ask you some other questions about the trade deals that have been negotiated so far. please correct me if i'm wrong, there are four trade deals or continuity agreements that have been signed. this month, the eu's deal with japan, a big trading partner, it began on the first of february, it has removed 10% of all the tariffs onjapanese car tariffs. can you guarantee that we will have a deal as good as that? first of
7:56 am
all, if we get an agreement with the european union, that agreement will apply to the uk for the period while we are in the implementation period. we are looking to a different sort of relationship with japan, because we are looking to join the big trans—pacific agreement which japan has encouraged the uk to join and has encouraged the uk to join and has been very much at the forefront of pushing uk membership. we'll all the agreements be ready one second after midnight in march 2019 as you promised? if we get an agreement with the european union, yes. the mechanism for that is if we get an agreement with the european union it deems the uk to continue to be a member and part of those agreements so they will roll over. if we don't getan so they will roll over. if we don't get an agreement with the european union, again, that will provide disruption. it may not provide a huge amount of disruption in the relatively small proportion of our trade, but it will be more disruption than if we get an
7:57 am
agreement, which is why it back to my first point, we need to get that agreement and the house of commons needs to understand its responsibility in signalling to our european partners that we are willing to get that agreement if we get the changes made to the irish backstop. doctor liam fox, international trade secretary, thank you for talking to was on breakfast this morning. time now to get the news, travel, and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london news. i'm sara 0rchard. around a 100 people attended a vigil last night for the missing student libby squire. the 21—year—old hasn't been seen since the 31st of january following a night out in hull where she was at university. her parents were at a special service for her at their local church in west wycombe. we are so far from hull and we wanted to offer some support. so many people said what can we do? and this was a way of love and fellowship for libby and herfamily and all her friends and the community. rogue landlords in one north london borough could face fines of up
7:58 am
to £30,000 if their housing is substandard or dangerous. haringey council will now require those who rent out houses for multiple tenants to hold a licence. it's being rolled out in response to concerns that some landlords have been failing to tackle problems such as antisocial behaviour while taking rent for substandard accommodation. the installation of over 20,000 led street lights in the london borough of brent could save money — while making the borough more environmentally friendly. the new lights are said to reduce carbon emissions by 62% as well as saving £850,000 a year on reduced energy and maintenance costs. by 2030, brent council hopes to save over £9 million. let's take a look at the travel situation now. 0n the tubes this morning the picadilly line has minor delays. 0n the trains thameslink services between elephant & castle and shortlands via catford are suspended due to over running engineering works. while southeastern services continue with replacement buses between lewisham and dartford following monday's landslide. 0n the roads in chingford,

8:00 am
celsius in central london and just a light southerly breeze around, too. now, through this evening and overnight we keep the clear skies, a nice starry night to come. but there will be a touch of frost forming, again, in the rural spots. temperatures dipping just below freezing and mist and fog patches, mostly developing towards western home counties. now, tomorrow is set to be even warmer. highs of 1a or 15 degrees celsius. perhaps more sunshine around. it will turn cloudier on saturday. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half—an—hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to charlie and naga. bye for now. good morning, and welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. 0ur headlines today. a 19—year—old who left london to join the so—called islamic state in syria says she has no regrets, but now wants to return to the uk because she's heavily pregnant.

8:02 am
and good morning from the roof of the coliseum in london, home to the english national opera. i will tell you why we are here later on. a chilly start this morning with dense fog but many of us will have a dry day with some sunshine, a few splashes of rain in the north—west. more details in 15 minutes. it's thursday 1ath february. our top story. a london schoolgirl, who left britain as a 15—year—old to join so—called islamic state, says she wants to come home. speaking to the times, shamima begum — who is now 19, married to an islamic state fighter and nine months pregnant, says she wants to have her third child in the uk. chi chi izundu reports. pictured for the first time in almost four years in a camp in northern syria, shamima begum, one of the three schoolgirls from bethnal green who left to join the islamic state group, which by then already had
8:03 am
a murderous reputation. just 15 when they went, she told the times about their arrival in is territory. she told the times reporter, anthony loyd, that her friend kadiza sultana was killed in an airstrike. but she said the third bethnal green girl, amira abase, was still alive two weeks ago. and shamima begum doesn't accept they made a mistake injoining the islamic state group. but she does say while she was with is she lost to make children through malnutrition and sickness.
8:04 am
she is now nine months pregnant with her third child and is desperate to get back to the uk. the home office says anyone taking part in conflict in syria or iraq must expect to be investigated by police, to determine whether they have committed criminal offences and to ensure that they do not pose a threat to national security. the plane maker, airbus, which has factories in the uk, has announced plans to cease production of the superjumbo — the a380 — from 2021. aviation analyst alex macheras is in toulouse, where airbus has been holding a press conference. hejoins us now. what have you found out? lots of people here are concerned aboutjobs
8:05 am
in the uk? good morning. the main headline at the moment is that the a380 production will finish in the year 2021, so two years from this year 2021, so two years from this year there will be no further new a380 models. this is an aircraft that the future has been potentially on the line for a few years now. let's be clear, this is unrelated to brexit or other geopolitical factors and all to do with what the air travel market is demanding. u nfortu nately for travel market is demanding. unfortunately for the a380 those large super jumbo jets, they unfortunately for the a380 those large superjumbo jets, they are not as efficient, and that has taken some of the market share. alex, thanks very much. more information will be coming out throughout the day. they employ around 11,000 people in the uk but no news yet on thejob people in the uk but no news yet on the job losses. theresa may is facing the threat of another rebellion by her own backbenchers today as she tries to preserve support for her brexit plan.
8:06 am
the commons is due to vote on the next steps in the process, and some of the most hardline tory brexiteers have said they cannot back the motion as it currently stands. joining us now from westminster is our political correspondent, jonathan blake. can we start with the basics. some people might be lost in the fog of when is a vote not a vote and what isa when is a vote not a vote and what is a meaningful vote. what is happening today? today was not meant to be an especially important or big day in the brexit process and it was a chance for theresa may, a fortnight after mp5 gave backing to renegotiate part of the brexit deal over the backstop, that controversial part which aims to keep an open border between northern ireland and the republic. a chance of the prime minister to come back to parliament and say, give me your backing to carry on with that process. and it looked as though that was happening with a few amendments here and there and mp5 getting to have their say on where the process should go but not
8:07 am
binding on the government. the trouble is, the motion the government has put forward has not pleased conservative brexiteers. they say the way it is worded effectively rules out a no—deal brexit and they say that should stay on the table to allow the government to have a strong hand in the negotiations. so theresa may could be heading for a defeat when the boat happens in parliament later this evening. downing street are worried about that and say it will significantly damage the prime minister's chances of being able to get a proper brexit deal with the european union in time for when we leave the eu on the 29th of march this year. there are no easy days for the prime minister in this brexit process but it looks like today could be a bit more difficult than she hoped. nhs england is encouraging people to have their blood pressure and cholesterol levels checked, in a bid to reduce the number of heart attacks, strokes and dementia cases. health experts warn that millions of people are unaware they are at risk because many of the conditions associated with cardiovascular disease carry no symptoms. here's our health correspondent, dominic hughes. let's just put this on your hand.
8:08 am
having your blood pressure taken or getting your cholesterol tested. these are simple steps that can alert us to the danger of developing cardiovascular disease. through heart attack, stroke, and dementia it's the main cause of premature death and disability in england. but health experts are warning that not enough of us know if we are at risk. large numbers of people are dying prematurely from cardiovascular disease, which is largely a preventable condition. so that's why today we're launching these new ambitions focusing on the big risk factors, the big causes for cardiovascular disease, and we are referring to this as the abcs of prevention — atrial fibrillation, blood pressure, and cholesterol. in order to tackle cardiovascular disease, within the next decade doctors want to be able to detect and treat 80% of all those with high blood pressure, to check the cholesterol levels of three quarters of all a0—to—75—year—olds, and assess their risk of cardiovascular disease, and to treat, with statins,
8:09 am
a5% of those found to be at high risk. these checks can be done quickly and easily by a gp or a practice nurse. doctors say we all know our bank pin numbers, but not the important numbers relating to our blood pressure and cholesterol that could save our lives. dominic hughes, bbc news. detectives are continuing to question a 27—year—old man held on suspicion of murder, after three pensioners were killed in their homes in exeter. police are linking the deaths by "the level of violence used". we're joined now from exeter by our news correspondent sarah ransome. sarah, what more can you tell us? this, i have to say is all that the people in this normally quiet cathedral city of exeter want to
8:10 am
talk about. this triple murder investigation that detectives are calling an unprecedented event in the city. i am outside one of the houses where two of the bodies were found and this is where the bodies of twins, roger and dick carter, we re of twins, roger and dick carter, were found. they had been living here for a number of years, apparently. detectives and forensic teams have been in the house combing the large, sprawling garden, looking for any sort of evidence. i've been talking to people who live in the area who have been bringing floral tributes to the men, expressing their sorrow and telling me that they were a very gentle couple and they were a very gentle couple and they had a grocery shop just along they had a grocery shop just along the road from here and they haven't been greatly shocked by what happened. the other body found 2a hours earlier was about a mile or so from here near the exeter main railway station, and that is where the body was found and emergency services were called on monday afternoon. detectives say this is a
8:11 am
complex, fast moving investigation and have called in many people from the organisation to help with the investigation. they have asked communities, members and locals, to get together and check on elderly relatives. but as they say, it is a 27—year—old man who is being held in custody at the moment and is being questioned on suspicion of murder and he will be questioned further today. thank you very much, sarah. nasa says the "opportunity" rover it sent to mars has ended its mission, eight months after losing contact. iam i am looking at a tweet from president 0bama, because he wrote saying not to be upset about it. wise words. the robot spent 15 years sending data back to earth and had one of the most fruitful missions in the history of space exploration. "0ppy" — as the rover was affectionatly known — confirmed that water once flowed
8:12 am
on the red planet. the robot hasn't been heard from since june when it was hit by a dust storm. and that was it. barack 0bama said do not be sad it's over, it showed us so do not be sad it's over, it showed us so much, congratulations to all on the mission and inspired a new generation of americans. i think he has found other people to be with and is happier elsewhere. it'sjust one of those things. the world and universe is a happier place. it's 8:12am. air pollution across the uk, contributes to around a0,000 premature deaths and costs the economy more than 20—billion pounds every year, according to the royal college of physicians. today, city leaders from across england are calling on the government to improve air quality and take polluting vehicles off the roads. mayor of london, sadiq khan, joins us now from westminster. thank you for your time this morning. lots of kids will be going
8:13 am
to school in london now and in major cities all over the uk. what is the worst that you are seeing? we know that in addition to the premature deaths you talked about, we know there are children, particularly in cities who have underdeveloped lungs, stunned —— stunted lungs, which is permanent and their life expectancy will be shorter. we know there are adults with a range of health issues like asthma or dementia, heart disease and cancer attributable to the poor quality of the airand attributable to the poor quality of the air and there is an issue about transport or the environment and it's a public health emergency. you have been doing yourjob in that capacity for many years and i've been doing mine in talking about this for a long time. why is it something we cannot get a grip on? we are making progress in london. we stopped buying diesel buses. we only by electric, hydrogen and hybrid. there has been a 90% reduction in
8:14 am
nitrogen dioxide and we have seen improvement of air there. we clean up improvement of air there. we clean up the airaround improvement of air there. we clean up the air around schools. there are a50 schools in london, in parts of london, where the air is illegal. that is why this april the 8th, we will be launching the first ultra low emission zone to get rid of the most polluting vehicles off the road, and what you talked about today, we have gathered leaders of cities and regions across the country representing 20 million people and the really good news is we have two members of the cabinet coming in as well, the secretary of state for environment, michael gove, the secretary of state for health, matt hancock, and working together we can make progress on the issue of poor quality air. you mentioned that the air was illegal in some places. it is such a meaningless phrase. what is the point of deeming it illegal? what happens next? let me
8:15 am
explain what i mean. the world health organization has set out what they think are the legal limits for four nitrogen dioxide and the news is worse as far as i'm concerned as a politician who is passionate about social justice, and the a politician who is passionate about socialjustice, and the air that is worst are in the most deprived parts of london. but we also and we know in the most deprived parts of london they own fewer cars. we know as a consequence of the analysis we have done that the policies will lead to the air being improved more greatly than the poorest parts of london, which is really important. we also know that policies will lead to a situation where in twenty20 going from a situation where a a50 schools are in areas where that is illegal, by 2025 it will be zero, so we know good policies change behaviour and that leads to the air getting better. talk to me about the diesel van scrappage scheme. it was 2010 when this happened with cars, so how
8:16 am
much money is allocated to this and what is the plan? you will remember that 20 years ago people like me we re that 20 years ago people like me were saying don't buy petrol because it leads to more carbon emissions than diesel, 15% more, and that is right, but unfortunately we know that diesel leads to more things and we wa nt that diesel leads to more things and we want to help people get back to diesel and not rush back to petrol. what we are announcing in london is a package of £50 million, roughly speaking, to help people go to greener alternatives. i'll be announcing £23 million for next week to help small businesses with ten or fewer staff with diesel vehicles, but also those charities that go to green alternatives. the package will help low income families as well. we have to help people move away from diesel to green alternatives. we can't just assume they diesel to green alternatives. we can'tjust assume they can make the choice themselves. i am lobbying the government to have a national scrappage fund, and those families, those charities, those businesses
8:17 am
and they will need help to go to green alternatives. isn't the reality that if it is a van, for example, you have to buy a new van and that costs a lot of money and necessarily, like it was with the original car plan. it was relatively wealthy people who were able to buy a new, cleaner vehicle and others couldn't afford it. it didn't affect them at all. that is why the scrappage scheme i am launching is targeted towards small businesses, charities and low—income families. we have to help those who need help the most. so if for example you have three vans in your business and two of the bands are compliant and one isn't, we will help you take the noncompliant van and scrap it and we can give you additional money to buy an electric van, the same goes for charities and low—income families. within london in the last three
8:18 am
yea rs, within london in the last three years, we've tried to make public transport affordable and doubled the amount of segregated cycle lanes and the two and a half years i have been mayor. we have to make it easy for people to move over from polluting vehicles. i want to ask you one other question unlinked to what you are talking about today, and this is about the schoolgirl from bethnal green who went to syria to join the so—called islamic state, and now wa nts to so—called islamic state, and now wants to come back. she is nine months pregnant and wants to come back to the uk to have her baby and ijust wondered, as mayor of london, what are your thoughts about the process that may well happen? she has no remorse about what she chose to do and is married to a so—called islamic state fighter. what is your position on that? my view is that the police and authorities should speak to her to decide whether any criminal offences have been
8:19 am
committed by her. i don't want to prejudice any potential case that might go but i am clear that we have laws in place to make sure that the police and authorities can speak to somebody before they get on a plane to consider if offences have been committed. and if we think that anybody who comes to our country is anybody who comes to our country is a national security threat might commitan a national security threat might commit an offence, they might be stopped from coming to the country. if she arrives in this country and they can be interviewed at the port and see if offences have been committed, it's really important that the police and authorities look at each case seriously, but the wider point i would make is that we know, and we've spoken about in the past, there are children and vulnerable people being groomed and radicalised in their bedrooms in this country. i would say to any parent, big brother, big sister, anybody who thinks somebody they know might be being groomed, ring the authorities. 0800789321, you can
8:20 am
ring anonymously, and keep us safe and avoid any young person or honourable person being groomed or radicalised by islamist extremists. thank you for your time. let's go to london where carroll is, high above the rooftops. she is playing out her favourite fairy tale, rapunzel. rapunzel, rapunzel, let down your hair. i wanted to make it rhyme with air, but! hair. i wanted to make it rhyme with air, but i couldn't. good morning. it was a good attempt. i must say, here on the roof of the london coliseum, what a view we have. it is gorgeous and it is a beautiful start to the day as well. why are we here? it is home to english national opera andi it is home to english national opera and i came for the first time last week and it was amazing. you don't think about these things if you've not been to the opera before, like these guys, the opera singers,
8:21 am
they're not just these guys, the opera singers, they're notjust singers, they are actors and performers and they tell such a moving story and it is amazing and they do not wear microphones. it is all done from the voice. and i had a quick look round the wicket department and that was fascinating. thank you to the english national opera for your hospitality. this morning there is a chilly start across parts of finland and wales and also some dense fog patches across the southern half of england and the south and east of wales, are busily not everywhere, but if you run into it, visibility is poor and it will be slow to lift and for the next few days you will find that the weather, temperature —wise, it will stay mild. yesterday the top temperature was 1a celsius in kinross and we could save 15 and tomorrow we could see 16. you can see that nicely with the yellow on the chart, pulling in the south—westerly wind. this morning we have fog to clear, but when it does
8:22 am
for england and wales, any cloud we have will break and it will be dry and we will see lengthy sunny spells. for scotland and northern ireland, you start on a cloudy note and there is a weather front in the west producing rain and that will ease down as we go through the day and it will brighten up to hazy sunshine. although you will find across the moray firth area you will be favoured with some of the highest temperatures, maybe 15, as good parts of wales. but generally we are looking at between 11 and 13. quite breezy across the northwest this morning as well. after dark, the will drop quickly with the clear skies. some of us will see a touch of frost first thing and once again there will be dense patchy fog in similar areas to this morning. so if you are travelling, bear that in mind. we expect visibility to be quite poor. when it lifts tomorrow, for many, it will be dry and it will be sunny and we have hazy sunshine today with more blue skies but later

explain this. this stuff is perishable. if it sticks in the queues on the borders it will be a real problem. absolutely. it could not only lose value, if it holds up to long, it will be worth nothing and has to be dumped and that is a tragedy for the fishermen but more importantly for the ocean itself and the fish stocks. good to see you both this morning. before we go, i will leave you with a shot from just outside here. the sun has broken over peterhead this morning, a lovely start to the day and we will talk more about this a little later. now the news where you are. spring is in the air and more of us should get to see some sunshine

today with that mild air still coming up from the south and that should be with us for the next to days. we have got some lingering mist and fog, though, for central, southern and south—west england. that will eventually clear as will the patchy rain in the north of scotland. sunny spells for northern ireland, hazy sunshine perhaps for southern scotland but elsewhere plenty of sunshine on offer. temperatures well above average for the time of year. into this evening the time of year. into this evening the cloud will tend to disperse and under clear skies it's going to be chilly, particularly for central and eastern areas, where we could see a patchy frost. and the return of that mist and fog, which once again, rather like today, could be dense in places and will linger for a while. but once it clears, we're in for another fine, but once it clears, we're in for anotherfine, dry but once it clears, we're in for another fine, dry day, but once it clears, we're in for anotherfine, dry day, lengthy spells of sunshine on offer once again. the risk of strengthening for northern ireland and the north—west of scotland, where we will eventually see some rain move in.
