9:02 am
on tuesday and he is expected to appear at barkingside magistrates‘ court to answer that charge. police say a second man arrested in london on friday remains in custody and they are still talking to him and they are still talking to him and they say they want to hear from any potential witnesses, or anybody who might know more about the murder of jodie chesney. in a second case, police say a 15—year—old boy has been charged with murder following the death of a 17—year—old in west kensington found with multiple stab wounds on thursday. that 15—year—old cannot be named for the legal reasons. police say the victim has not been formally identified yet. they say they will carry out a postmortem on him tomorrow. 2—macro significant charges this morning into stabbing cases in london. thank you. the baby son of shamima begum, the british teenager who joined the islamic state group, has died in syria. the boy, who was less than three weeks old,
9:03 am
is thought to have contracted a lung infection. his mother travelled to syria as a 15—year—old in 2015. the home office had recently taken the decision to strip her of her british citizenship. earlier, we spoke to our middle east correspondent, quentin sommerville, who met shamima not long after she‘d given birth. he began by describing the conditions in the camp. the circumstances that people are being held, whether they‘re victims of is or supporters of is here in northern syria are pretty grim. when i metjarrah, who wasjust a few days old, he was in good health and i asked shamima begum how her baby was doing. she said he was doing well at that time. but it‘s very cold here, the camps don‘t have enough blankets, they don‘t have enough tents and there isn‘t enough food in some cases. and the people there are struggling and they‘re angry, and it‘s a dangerous situation, as well, it‘s still a stressful situation.
9:04 am
so jarrah was in good health then, but he deteriorated, and yesterday we heard that him and his mother had been taken under armed escort to hospital and he died shortly after lunchtime, his cause of death was listed as pneumonia. it‘s worth remembering that in the long, miserable story of islamic state, the suffering is not yet over. people who were trapped inside or stayed inside with the islamic state till the very end were starving, many of those who left suffered from malnutrition. more than 100 people have died leaving that last is stronghold. and now in the camps, just in the last few days in the camps, we‘ve seen 16,000 people arrive. it‘s a huge number, far more is supporters than everybody realised. the bombardment was very difficult for them, that intense fighting, the circumstances were awful. and as a result, an increasing number of people have fallen ill and in some cases, as with jarrah, have died. quentin somerville. head teachers are accusing the education minister
9:05 am
of not meeting with them to discuss their concerns over funding. yesterday, thousands of head teachers sent letters to parents, asking them to lobby the government for more money. the government says school spending is at its highest ever level, and that the core budget has been ringfenced since 2010. schools minister nick gibb joined us on the programme earlier. he admitted the cost pressures on schools — and we asked if he would visit one particular school that can no longer afford to buy toilet roll. a parent contacted us about this. there are examples and i have acknowledged there were cost pressures that schools are having to absorb. we will help those schools, those examples you give, we can help them manage budgets more effectively by giving them that advice. i am very happy, i visit schools all the time all over the country and i am very happy to visit that school, happy to visit any school across the country, which i do every week.
9:06 am
we‘re just weeks away from the uk‘s departure from the eu, but both sides are still struggling to agree on changes to the prime minister‘s brexit deal. yesterday, the eu‘s chief negotiator michel barnier offered britain the option of leaving the customs union, but said northern ireland would have to remain part of it. 0ur political correspondent matt cole joins us now. you might have thought, really, now it isa you might have thought, really, now it is a handful of days left and this would be a furious last—minute, positive series of discussions, when what is happening good question. good morning, 20 days until brexit day, march the 29th. even fewer days until the big vote on whatever the deal is meant to be from theresa may, on tuesday in the commons. there does not appear to be a deal yet to be put before mps in lieu of the one rejected about a month ago. a record defeat for theresa may‘s brexit plan with a 230 vote majority
9:07 am
against and since then theresa may has been talking, the attorney general has been talking and the brexit secretary, they have been in brussels talking to michel barnier but nobody seems to have come up with a plan yet that can appease parliament and get it through. yesterday michel barnier once again offering something the government pretty much said no too because they said it had been discussed, an alternative solution on how to explore the future of the northern ireland border in the event a deal is not done for trade in the future and that is the sticking point, the backstop. michel barnier said intensive talks will continue this weekend but given what we hear from the government that they are not happy with what the eu is saying it is hard to see what breakthrough there could be and what theresa may will put before mps on tuesday. commercial satellite images of a facility near the north korean capital, pyongyang, suggest there
9:08 am
are preparations to launch a missile or a satellite. a summit between the north korean leader, kim jong—un, and president trump to discuss pyongyang‘s nuclear weapons ended last week without agreement. research by the bbc has found only one in ten nurses working within the nhs in england are men. figures suggest that last year there were just over 36,000 male nurses compared to more than 285,000 women. the department of health said it had seen a 9% increase in men applying for courses in the past 12 months. events to mark the 60th birthday of barbie are taking place across the world today. # barbie, small and so petite. the doll will make an appearance at a number of locations, including a barbie pop—up experience in new york. the toy‘s manufacturer — mattel — describe her as "the number one
9:09 am
fashion doll", designed to inspire girls. there you go. what do you say about it? ken has a lovely smile. and a good head of hair like our charlie. we will have all the sport with mike later and looking ahead to the six nations across the weekend and we will take a look at the weather. helen has the details. the family of a murdered teenager have criticised snapchat after receiving messages through the app from someone claiming to be his killer. breck bednar was just 1a when he was stabbed to death by lewis daynes, who he‘d met online. snapchat says it‘s unable to hand over information because it‘s bound by an international criminal treaty. we‘ll speak to breck‘s mother and sister in a minute but first, here‘s a look back at what happened.
9:10 am
it has been five years since breck‘s family receive the news nobody wants to hear. it was a tragedy that started online. breck was murdered by lewis daynes in 2014. the 18—year—old groom to breck over 13 months before bringing him to his flat in essex where he fatally stabbed him. lewis daynes pleaded guilty and was sentenced to life in prisons but this year breck‘s sister khloe started receiving messages online from the person she believes is her brother‘s killer, but she cannot prove it until snapchat provides the information needed to track down the culprit and, so far, they have not done that. breck‘s mother lorin, and his sister chloe are in our london studio now. thank you for coming onto the programme. i cannot begin to imagine
9:11 am
the hell your family has programme. i cannot begin to imagine the hell yourfamily has been put through and is still going through. lauren, how are you both? it is hard to deal with because sometimes we wa nt to to deal with because sometimes we want to try to heal, to be a family, and not be constantly reminded of the most horrific thing that has happened, losing breck. the most horrific thing that has happened, losing brecklj the most horrific thing that has happened, losing breck. i can't imagine that. chloe, getting these messages, can you tell us what m essa g es messages, can you tell us what messages you have had? at first, when i received them, i was in a state of shock. i had no idea what was happening. it was out of the blue. they shocked me because they we re blue. they shocked me because they were distressing messages, like pictures of my brother, and horrible things like, i want to break lewis out of jail. things like, i want to break lewis out ofjail. 0r asking things like, i want to break lewis out ofjail. 0rasking me things like, i want to break lewis out ofjail. 0r asking me questions like did breck get raped. all these things, a lot of information where
9:12 am
the general public probably wouldn't know, such as the exact place where he is buried, and those are upsetting for me. it must have been traumatic when you started getting them and you got them through snapchat. the thing with snapchat is m essa g es snapchat. the thing with snapchat is messages disappear, but you took screen grabs. what did you do when you started getting them?” screen grabs. what did you do when you started getting them? i was at school and i went straight to the office and they took it so seriously, they drove me themselves to the police station and i made a witness report. i went to the police straightaway. it does not seem like it has done much because i do not know anything about it, i have not heard any news, i do not know who has sent me these things. i do not feel safe because i do not know if it is him or someone out of prison who could do actual harm. hearing that chloe had these messages must
9:13 am
have been shocking for you, lauren? it is heartbreaking because the triplets have been supportive and good for me to try to heal. i do not wa nt good for me to try to heal. i do not want them to be faced with something like this and when you go to the police you would hope you would get help as quickly as possible but u nfortu nately, help as quickly as possible but unfortunately, because of the treaty in place, it can take up to a year, and this is why we are focused on trying to get the law changed so that no child has to wait that long for police to investigate any issue of indecent imagery or malicious communication, anything. you cannot find out who is doing this because snapchat say they are banned by an international treaty on criminal investigation. what have snapchat said to you about this? originally the police said they had to go to snapchat in the us and i thought surely there is an office here and i met representatives from snapchat uk who said they could help police but
9:14 am
in the end i think they are bound by laws that have not kept up with what is happening with the technology children use now so i wish snapchat would be here helping us, but instead it feels like they wait to be forced to do something by government rather than taking over and being proactive to make these changes needed. it is a team effort and if they are not going to push for law changes, we have to do that. snapchat say they have terminated the account that sent the messages but chloe, you must be worried they could set up another account?” but chloe, you must be worried they could set up another account? i am so could set up another account? i am so worried because lewis is known for being good at computers so he could easily contact me, if he could find my phone number, e—mail, any other way. there are many other platforms and he could make another account. there were three separate accounts i was contacted on and i blocked one and a new one was made. at this point, i know you think it
9:15 am
is lewis who sent the messages but we do not have confirmation of that. what kind of impact is it having on the family? i think it stirs up the hurt again and what is hard to think that there are children all over the uk that actually are being approached online by people who want to do them harm, and we are tied by policies that are not working today and so this is only one example and there will be many children. talking about how people are selling drugs on snapchat, how people are doing other criminal activities and snapchat is basically harbouring criminals through platforms if they do not hand over information for police to investigate. it has been brought up in prime ministers questions, what you are going through, but have you had any support or contact from the uk government about this? we have a meeting coming up with the home
9:16 am
secretary in a couple of weeks and that will be helpful to find out what will be done because we can talk about it for years, but this needs a change now.|j talk about it for years, but this needs a change now. i hope it gets sorted. thank you for your time this morning, i appreciate you talking to us. it is time to look at the weather and helen has the details. i thought i would start with the sunshine across stirling this morning but i am having concerns about what is heading our way for tonight and tomorrow. we have seen snowfall this morning on the hills to the north of stirling, but also from the showers in county durham, as well. although the rain and hill snow is moving out of the way, we will see further wintry showers over the hills and more substantial snow tomorrow morning but the wind is a concern, lively at the moment, and
9:17 am
it could be windy tomorrow but it hangs in the balance. watching this developing low to the south and this one combining forces, it has the potential for significant snow and also windy weather tomorrow so please stay tuned to the forecast if you have plans this weekend. this is how it looks this morning. wintry showers coming in. a band of hill snow moving across northern england and still giving showers in east anglia and the midlands and after that sunny spells and showers but particularly in the west and south of scotland, parts of northern ireland, they will come in to north—west and wales. but you will see spells of sunshine if you can forget the brisk wind. it should ease this afternoon, even across scotla nd ease this afternoon, even across scotland and northern ireland but it will feel cold. wintry showers, hail and thunder over the hills and temperatures below par, 5—7, but above par as they ease in the south
9:18 am
and there are fewer showers and temperatures above average because we have more sunshine and it is because we have this rain will stop bumping into cold air it turns to snow over the hills but we have another coming in from the west. where theyjoin another coming in from the west. where they join forces another coming in from the west. where theyjoin forces we could potentially have windy weather and significant snow. 0ver potentially have windy weather and significant snow. over the hills of north wales, north midlands and northern england, but cold enough to fall at lower levels for parts of scotla nd fall at lower levels for parts of scotland with centimetres building up scotland with centimetres building up but significant snow tomorrow morning over the hills of scotland. significant, 10—15 centimetres. blowing around in potential gales, even blowing around in potential gales, eve n severe blowing around in potential gales, even severe gale force wind if potential is there. still very windy and cold, much colder tomorrow, even in the south we will notice it because of the change in wind direction. a respite from the wind and wintry weather on monday, but
9:19 am
then the wind returns and rain returns with a vengeance by monday night and tuesday and this is a potential storm. looks nasty again with the wind strength picking up and possibly severe gales and storm force winds. lots going on as ever at this time of year and please stay tuned to the forecast, the warnings will be on the website. we‘re just weeks away from the uk‘s exit date from the eu, and despite ongoing talks between the government and officials in brussels, we‘re still none the wiser on what britain‘s departure might look like. yesterday the prime minister made a last—ditch attempt to persuade the eu to allow changes to her deal — but it didn‘t exactly go down as hoped. 0ur brussels correspondent adam fleming joins us now to explain more. you are working today. is anyone else doing a bit of work behind—the—scenes? is there a room with diplomats somewhere? there are
9:20 am
british officials and eu officials on the negotiating teams talking today and they will talk tomorrow and maybe they will talk on monday. in the hope there will be an end product, documents that can be presented to mp5, which the government hopes will convince enough of them to change their minds from opposing theresa may‘s deal to supporting it. this week has been a fascinating week in brussels, quite tense, it has got incredibly complicated but important stuff has gone on. the big theme, progress has not been as much as the uk would have liked. we have the speech from theresa may yesterday, in grimsby, where 70% voted to leave in the referendum, a big brexit town. presumably people there will want it to happen. there was a preview of the speech that it would be tough and she would lay down the gauntlet to the eu and effectively to them, if this deals deal goes down and mps do not vote for it, it is kind of your fault. but the speech became
9:21 am
more nuanced. there was some of that stuff in there but she also said to the eu, this is the last minute, the vote on tuesday is the meaningful vote on tuesday is the meaningful vote and the deadline for doing stuff is now and not at the end of the month, and she had a similar message to members of parliament. this is what she had to say. we are both participants in this process. it is in the european interest for the uk to leave with a deal. we are working with them, but the decisions the eu makes over the next few days will have a big impact on the outcome of the vote. so let's not hold back, let's do what is necessary for mps to back the deal on tuesday. yesterday, michel barnier, the chief negotiator, did something that is unusual. he sent out a series of tweets about the ideas that the eu had put on the table this week. these were not things approved by the uk, normally they would only do something like this if both sides
9:22 am
agreed. if you look at the tweets and there were a lot of them, the big one was 4. this is where the eu said if the northern irish backstop ever came in, the uk would have the option to come out of the bit of the backstop that would keep the uk in a customs arrangement with the eu, which a lot of brexiteers hate the idea of, because it would stop the uk doing its own trade deals. there are accusations thrown at brussels they have a secret plot to trap the uk in that customs arrangement for ever, through the backstop. the eu now says no, if this government, a future government, prime minister, can makea future government, prime minister, can make a decision that they did not want that customs bit of the backstop not want that customs bit of the ba cksto p to not want that customs bit of the backstop to apply to the uk any more. voila, no trap after all. the problem is northern ireland would still be in the eu customs union and
9:23 am
then you would be back to this think of would you have kind of like a border between great britain and northern ireland ? border between great britain and northern ireland? which is one of the big reasons why so many rejected the big reasons why so many rejected the deal in the first place and there ends the brexit lesson for today! adam, au revoir. we will watch that on fold and the vote is on tuesday, followed possibly by subsequent votes. and analysis from adam on the podcast. shall we look at what is happening in the papers? the writer and columnist, tim walker is here. you have a story about empty shells we could face after brexit. david
9:24 am
gauke, the justice we could face after brexit. david gauke, thejustice secretary, normally understated, he contemplates the reality for a no deal brexit. in a worst—case scenario if we had significant difficulties with food supplies and there are empty shelves, could result in violence and war criminal cases? of course it can‘t. what dreams we were sold in the referendum and what nightmares we now face. he says he would not vote for and he will resign if necessary if no—deal brexit, even if it is a three line whip that is the option thatis three line whip that is the option that is put to him. the conservative party should be the party of the economy, security and integrity of the uk and in my view, crashing out is not consistent with that, he says. those lines about could it resulting violence? he is a significant figure. is he right to speculate about whether it could end up speculate about whether it could end up in violence? if the food chains are affected, clearly... my brother
9:25 am
is an insulin dependent diabetic and asked his pharmacist if he will get insulin and the pharmacist is not sure. there is a lot of planning that should have been done that has not been done and we are now going into an unknown territory. moving onto a story... margaret thatcher, she could famously get by with little sleep, even her worst political foes say she drove herself incredibly hard, but now it has turned out she had an unlikely health guru in the shape of barbara cartland, best health guru in the shape of barbara ca rtland, best known health guru in the shape of barbara cartland, best known for romantic novels and their private correspondence has been revealed. 0ne correspondence has been revealed. one of the health cures, rather frustrating, the piece does not say what they were, was a special supplement to help you get oxygen to her brain. barbara cartland was very big i recall on royaljelly. that was her big health secret. margaret thatcher, she was a great take of
9:26 am
whiskey which is maybe not so healthy. a person i know said what healthy. a person i know said what he respected about her, her whiskey was very dark. why is it emerging now? the private correspondence has just been revealed. we have heard about other correspondence but the barbara cartland stuff was particularly entertaining, because they are an unlikely pair. barbara ca rtla nd they are an unlikely pair. barbara cartland i think was a conservative. i went to tea with her with a lot of drunken journalists and barbara ca rtla nd drunken journalists and barbara cartland said, he should play me in a film? and a journalist said very loudly, robbie coltrane in a lot of make up. fortunately, i do not think she heard! another story. maybe the non—bright burglar. she heard! another story. maybe the non-bright burglar. the selfie the burglar took. the first thing to do asa burglar took. the first thing to do as a burglar, i suggest, burglar took. the first thing to do as a burglar, isuggest, is burglar took. the first thing to do as a burglar, i suggest, is not to ta ke as a burglar, i suggest, is not to take a selfie of yourself in the house you are burgling. this guy,
9:27 am
the leicester city boss‘s home, of brendan rodgers, he took the selfie and with the technology we have now, it can be compared and police say they have probably got enough to bring this man to justice. because they can identify where he was? because in the background there was a picture of brendan rodgers on his wedding day. it was a nasty break—in and his wife and young stepdaughter we re and his wife and young stepdaughter were cowering in the bathroom after confronting the burglars. i rather hope this picture brings this idiotic burglar to justice. do you think there is enough with his eye on what you see? everybody now, we have our eye tests. police are quick on this and the technology i think will help identify him which is what they are saying. we should encourage more burglars to take selfies. and encourage people to do less burglary. good to see you. thank

9:32 am
visit schools all over the country all the time, i‘m very happy to visit any school as i do every week. the eu‘s offer of britain leaving the customs union, while northern ireland remained part of it, was rejected by the government last night. it came as the brexit secretary stephen barclay accused the eu‘s chief negotiator of trying "to rerun old arguments". yesterday the prime minister made a last ditch attempt to secure changes to her withdrawal deal, ahead of a parliamentary vote on tuesday. commercial satellite images of a facility near the north korean capital, pyongyang, suggest there are preparations to launch a missile or a satellite. a summit between the north korean leader, kimjong un, and president trump to discuss pyongyang‘s nuclear weapons ended last week without agreement. more than 200 items belonging to george michael‘s personal art collection are to be auctioned this week in london. the singer, who died in december 2016, built up his collection by visiting galleries and artists‘ studios. the auction includes a neon portrait of george michael himself. any money made will go to charity.
9:33 am
those are the main stories this morning. now look ahead to a great weekend sport. we start with the six nations. you maybe would not expect it to be unlucky 13 for wales with one government in charge but they are on an incredible run. already smashing all the records. there‘s live coverage on bbc1 from 2 o‘clock — and we can go straight to murrayfield now and join sarah mulkerrins. you have the freedom of murrayfield as wales tried to protect this amazing run against the scots? that is year—long unbeaten record, going for a tech team today and wales will be hoping they will be lucky.
9:34 am
they‘re going for a grand slam title, the only team in the six nations still able to do that. kick—off is less than five hours away and we have a very special guest who will be on bbc coverage a bit later on. let‘s talk about wales, it has been a great six nations for them, how impressed i keepin? nations for them, how impressed i keep in? -- have you been? certainly their performance has been outstanding so far, especially against england. they are winning games and that is the key for the one gatland has said they do not know how to lose and that is an incredible thing to have. that confidence thatjust incredible thing to have. that confidence that just runs through the team and they find a way of winning games when maybe they're not playing at their best. in terms of
9:35 am
the players today, they are human beings as we said and they have gone through a difficult week with these on the table, off the table proposed mergers. how will they cope with that today? i think one that went will have had an importantjobjust to keep them focused on the six nations, and of course it is that livelihood, and it has to be a factor. but then you can turn that around and try to make it a positive and really focus and get this weight gain underway, to and really focus and get this weight gain under way, to get back to cardiff for that deciding game next week, what they will hope will be the grand slam game. you were kept in here, what chances of england causing an upset today? well scotland have played well at murrayfield. and for me it is
9:36 am
important that scotland start well today, the home crowd factor has got today, the home crowd factor has got to be at play today. we have a few injuries back, finn russell, wp nel, but this welsh team is very strong and at the moment theyjust know how to win they have the potential to stop scotland playing the game. it is the perfect match up coming together and it will be fascinating. looking at the broader picture, it isa looking at the broader picture, it is a world cup year and for scotland, gregor townsend has said he is looking for a performance in these last few games. it is so important, scotland have not played well and they need to get their game back. and that is a high tempo game and they have been making too many mistakes. and that is what has stopped them so i think he will be
9:37 am
looking for more accuracy today and more intensity and quality. and if they do that then they have a chance because they proved that they can score tries. where's wales will want to maybe be tight rather than loose so to maybe be tight rather than loose so you have that contrast in styles but scotland have got to get their campaign and a year back on track to date with a good performance. so many talking points, thank you so much. enjoy the coverage a bit later, full coverage across the bbc of all the six nations game this weekend. in cricket, england‘s women just beaten india by1 run, in the 3rd and final, t—20 match, they‘d already won the series, while it was a record breaking win for the men, in their t20 series, against the west indies at st kitts, with england victorious by 137 runs. england set a target of 183, thanks in part to sam billings who made 87. this 6, too hot to handle. in response chris gayle, was out for five, and that set the tone as west indies crumbled. some great catching too
9:38 am
by england, as the hosts were bowled out for 45 — the second lowest total in t20 history. billings having an impact at the end too. england take the series, with one match remaining. manchester city can go 4, points clear at the top of the premier league today, if they beat watford, and with liverpool hosting burnley tomorrow. manager pep guardiola doesn‘t think his achievements at city, will be tainted by uefa‘s investigation, into allegations of financial fair play violations, by the club. city deny the accusations. the club is open and hopefully we can finish this as soon as possible and he can decide what he sees. i said last season the club has done a lot. hopefully they can solve this as soon as possible. and finally, as goal celebrations go, this is probably not one to try at home...

anderson lopes ofjapanese side consadole sapporo knows how to score goals — this was his second in a game against shimizu s—pulse in fact. but he might need to work on his celebrations. hejumped over the barricade off the pitch, but the drop down was a slightly steeper than he realised... he is alright though — and even got back up to score two more in a 5—2 win for his side. you can the distance. it‘s a huge year for british road cycling. for the first time in 37 years the world championships are coming to the uk in september and as part of the event which will take place in yorkshire there will be a sportif — a chance for over 5000 amateur riders to ride some of the same route as the pros. ijoined some riders on the course in the yorkshire dales. the yorkshire dales are full of beautiful extremes and the same
9:40 am
can be said about your first taste in the middle of a pack of road racers, known as the peleton, awe—inspiring yet terrifying at the same time. this is what it will be like for the 1400 riders from 90 countries as they jostle for space, racing over nine days across the heels of the yorkshire dales as the world championships finally return to the uk in september. i‘ve always wondered what it must be like for the pros, the pandemonium of pedals, cycling wheel to wheel, you can feel the breath of the other riders around you down your neck. it can be dangerous because you get the feeling if one of us goes down, we can all go down. last year, a lot of crashes, i got caught in behind and it can be really frustrating because, like you said, it can be nothing that you do but it can then pretty much end your race, and you have as much right to have that space as that other person does and it is just staying confident and aggressive in the group. yorkshire has shown that they can
9:41 am
put on a really good event with the tour du yorkshire event back in 2014. it has proven itself to be a really good venue for major events. luckily, those of us who are going to get left behind by the peleton, who are not quite fast enough, there is also the so—called sportif for amateur riders, three different distances, around the same route in the yorkshire dales, and the other good thing about it is it is not a race. hey, wait for me. come on, guys. you have got 5000 people riding on the same course as the pros, soaking up the atmosphere. there will be people there to cheer them on, you start and finish in harrogate, it is just going to be the best sporting event in the country this year. 0rganisers are hoping a third of all those who sign up for the sportif will be women. we just like to go out and enjoy our lives and just encourage each other really, and i think that is what it's really all about. whether you are an amateur or pro, the yorkshire dales
9:42 am
is what it is all about. this is only the beginning. my legs are burning. my feet slipped off the pedals early on and i got left behind. some sections are at a gradient of 16%, far steeper than it looks on camera and in a lot of pain, we needed a message to spur us on. if mike bushell can get those climbs, then anyone can. no excuses. i never realised it was this hard. at some point, i realised i was going to roll backwards. but i did get back on, and at the top, incredible views and a chance to finally get a bit of breath back. are we there yet? ifeel like i‘m cycling to the moon. four kilometres. i‘ve forgotten the name of the place now. i‘m out of breath, a bit weak and delirious. i got off and pushed and walked, 0k?
9:43 am
please don‘t tell him to stop. you told me to put this top back on! the first official world championship top. it does not quite work with the suit. but if you are inspired tojoin in, you can throw your hat into the ring and try to get a place. maybe i next guest will be inspired! hamza is with us. do you ever get on a bicycle?” be inspired! hamza is with us. do you ever get on a bicycle? i think i need to, i have been touring for the last couple of weeks and just piling on the pounds. i think i will give

ita go! on the pounds. i think i will give it a go! inexperienced people are welcome, i understand. maybe you need to do some raining —— training first. and where that bright kit! he‘s one of youtube‘s biggest stars, with 90 million views and counting. but now commedian hamza arshad has turned his hand to children‘s literature. i never thought i would be in this position but my book came out yesterday, it is a children‘s book and the character gets into a crazy adventure. and for you it is a

challenging asian stereotypes? when i was growing up i did not read as much as i wanted to and i felt when i was much as i wanted to and i felt when iwas in much as i wanted to and i felt when i was in the library i did not feel that anything really resonated with me. ijust that anything really resonated with me. i just thought that anything really resonated with me. ijust thought it that anything really resonated with me. i just thought it was a that anything really resonated with me. ijust thought it was a shame that we did not have more diversity in books to appeal to the asian community but also everyone else, to see a story from a different angle. site i think there is a gap in the market and i felt it was important do something. and fundamentally if the book is going to work it has got to be funny. that is the ultimate driver. it is the funniest book you will ever read! and as i understand that there is quite a bit of what you would like in the classroom being played out. when i started with my youtube channel, i played a

south london gangster wannabe, british asian, getting himself into trouble but then finding a way out of it and there was this positive message at the end. when i was a little kid i was a bit of a rebel andi little kid i was a bit of a rebel and ijust little kid i was a bit of a rebel and i just looked at little kid i was a bit of a rebel and ijust looked at my surroundings and ijust looked at my surroundings and family members and just exaggerated certain situations. and family members and just exaggerated certain situationsm is just exaggerated certain situationsm isjust fun exaggerated certain situationsm is just fun to read for the we‘re just seeing some the pictures.” cannot blame them, they‘re probably watching! i definitely do not want to shout out any names. they‘re just having this nice asian desert for the and how the family reacted? they are fine, i think they think that i‘m rich now! but no, there are very proud for that i never thought i would be in this position. i‘ve been touring around the uk this week

going into schools and reading the book to kids and they love it. when people do that this always some awkward moment, kids ask the most direct questions for the have you been stopped in your tracks?l couple of days ago a young girl asked how many tvs i had in my house andi asked how many tvs i had in my house and i told her it was for and then she explained for the next two minutes while she only had one tv and she wanted to! i think i‘ve got four, i don‘t want to show off! and she wanted to! i think i‘ve got four, i don't want to show off!” wa nt to four, i don't want to show off!” want to ask about youtube, a lot of people look at people like you and think that they want to do that for the how do you get to 90 million views? when wanted to get into acting but back then i realised that i was additionally and kept getting
9:48 am
stereotyped. i would always find myself playing terrace number two, and it was just getting annoying, at least terrace number one! and then i thought i would do it myself and i started my own youtube channel to create my own content and ijust kept on making things that i thought maybe people were missing out on on mainstream tv. it has been a crazy experience but i have loved every moment. having 90 million viewers, way more than we get! lovely to see you this morning. best question i‘ve ever been asked in a school, this girl put her hand up and you could see the head teacher panicking. she said, how much did your teeth cast? best question i have ever been
9:49 am
asked! how much? we are all thinking the same thing! we all want to know the same thing! we all want to know the answer! here‘s helen with a look at this morning‘s weather. i have never had any obscure questions like that! today not too bad out and about. some snow around in the south of scotland. that is tending to clear away. but for the weekend, things are very changeable. wendy again tomorrow and feeling cold in that wind and the potential for some more snow. the likelihood
9:50 am
is we could see some more significant snow tomorrow morning and potentially more windy weather as well put up to date we have had some snow already across central areas, more to come across mainland scotla nd areas, more to come across mainland scotland during the day. but elsewhere because we have this next depression when the system does showers should diminish a bit across the south but we also have this weather front in the north! as well as that in between we have wintry showers over the hills but also some good spells of sunshine. the wind tapering off this afternoon, not as windy as it has been but feeling cold. a little bit above average in the south with a bit more sunshine. however it all changes this evening
9:51 am
with rain moving in to the south—west and pushing across southern england and wales through the night for the as it bumps and that cold out we get some snow as well. temperatures below freezing. but this area of rain is coming in, through tomorrow morning across northern ireland and the north of england, joining forces with that weather front in the south and we could see some significant snowfall. soa could see some significant snowfall. so a colder day and the potential for the wind to really whip up. and it certainly will feel cold for most of us. a bit of a respite on monday but that does not last because this next area of low pressure barrels in
9:52 am
through monday night and that could be another named storm. so looking really turbulent, the potential of a storm on monday night but even this weekend we have a bit of a headache coming on tonight and tomorrow with the potential for that smell and windy weather. just this week kyliejenner became the youngest ever self—made billionaire with most of her wealth coming from selling beauty products — so it might not come as a surprise that the bbc is looking for the next big thing in the world of make up. think great british bake 0ff for amateur artists, the show, called ‘glow—up‘ — presented by stacey dooley — allows contestants to fight for a chance to work with some of the industries most respected profesionals. we‘re hear from some of those taking part in a moment, but first,
9:53 am
let‘s see them in action. in bedrooms up and down the country make up revolution has begun. now out of the thousands that applied to aspiring make—up artists have the chance to make it in the real world. it is absolutely ruthless out there. for eight weeks they‘re going to live together... work together... i'mjust live together... work together... i'm just going to stand and do nothing. and battle it out. to impress some of the biggest names in the business. each week they will need to show skill, artistry, and imagination. with us now are contestants tiffany hunt and leigh easthope, and beauty journalist jessica morgan. let me start with you and having
9:54 am
watched the show, i love the fact that there‘s so much artistry. and you have even been doing it for very long? just over a year, just got carried away at halloween and went from there. one of your friends or your own face? i could not decide what i wanted to do for halloween so ijust became what i wanted to do for halloween so i just became a what i wanted to do for halloween so ijust became a bit of zest. and tiffany, how did you get involved?” studied fine art at university and i just swapped my canvas and started to work on face and body. for those who have not seen the programme, this is not necessarily the kind of make up that people would do at home, there‘s a lot more to it. make up that people would do at home, there's a lot more to itm is more creative make up, not necessarily wearable make—up but
9:55 am
more the artistic side of things. different to what we see on instagram every day. that kind of cookie—cutter look. instagram every day. that kind of cookie-cutter look. i'm not familiar with that phrase? cookie-cutter! just replicating something that is already there. all the same as the last one? what is amazing is the pressure you‘re under because have thesejudges pressure you‘re under because have these judges walking around. so well respected in their field. these judges walking around. so well respected in theirfield. and these judges walking around. so well respected in their field. and what is that pressure like of trying to do with the perfect face with those eyes on you, and a camera? everything is so distracting at first because of that pressure and the time just flies. but when you get started you almost forget what is going on around you. the judges and the cameras. then it becomes just more this is what we do. do you
9:56 am
think that make—up artists maybe do not get the credit they deserve? photographers get a lot of praise but maybe they get a bit forgotten? absolutely, i think people forget that make—up is a technical art and you need a lot of skill. basically you need a lot of skill. basically you are painting a face and to be able to work with the faith you have got, with the contouring of the face and the features to really make it stand out and work to a brief, you have to be really skills. we mentioned kyliejenner have to be really skills. we mentioned kylie jenner and there have to be really skills. we mentioned kyliejenner and there is a lot of money on this, people spend a lot of money on this, people spend a fortune on make—up. and sometimes we can be a bit cynical but it is a massive industry. it is growing as well, last year the global cosmetics industry was worth just over $500 billion. and it is estimated to go
9:57 am
up billion. and it is estimated to go up to 800 billion by 2023 so we are seeing a massive —— a massive spike in sales and in eco friendly products as well, more are planned by make—up, it is massive. products as well, more are planned by make-up, it is massive. and i guess in the quest to create amazing things, it must go wrong sometimes! definitely with this kind of make up you have to go wrong to get it right and it is that learning from mistakes that develops your work. quite brave and i imagine to say, i‘m going to stop now and it must happen from time to time. part of it is knowing how to fix things when you go wrong and not panicking. making that decision that you need to stop and change something. good to stop and change something. good to see you. i am thoroughly enjoying it.
9:58 am
