good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: big ben bongs. the uk has left the european union after almost half a century. an 11—month period of transition begins today. there were scenes of celebration, and commiseration, across the country as the moment of brexit finally arrived. the first night in quarantine for a group of 83 britons after being

flown home from coronavirus to china. good morning. it's the opening weekend of the six nations. four new coaches and a world cup since the last tournament — so who will take the crown this year? and in weather it is another blustery day across the country. a mild start. inks will cool the north later. details of that full we can forecast coming up here on brea kfast. forecast coming up here on breakfast. —— and it will cool. it's saturday, february i. our top story: the uk is out of the european union. the historic moment, at 11 o'clock last night, was marked by celebrations — and some commiserations — across the country. thousands of brexit supporters gathered in parliament square where speakers including, nigel farage addressed the crowds. breakfast‘s john maguire was there and has this report. they had come to parliament square from far and wide, from the north... from teesside. ..and from the south... i've come from brighton. ..to witness what the rally‘s star attraction called the greatest moment in modern british

history. we should celebrate the fact that, free from the constraints of the european union, we, once again, will be able to find our place in the world. to be independent, to be free to make our own trade rules, our own laws, our own trade laws, who we trade with is supremely important for me as a briton. did you ever doubt that tonight might happen? big bend ‘s brexit bonds hadn't materialised. instead clocks both analogue and digital will put on display. outside a party like it was 2020. that is it. brexit, the giant screens declare in red, white, and blue, wear out. 11 o'clock on the

3ist blue, wear out. 11 o'clock on the 31st of january 2020. one, of course, for the history books. but really it is the future that will determine whether or not this was the right call. of course not eve ryo ne the right call. of course not everyone celebrated. some commiserated. this was oxford. are we proud to be europeans? crowd: yes! my business was put at risk because of this, my kids' futures and jobs are being put at risk and my family disagree with it. in edinburgh, capital of a country that had voted to remain in the eu, they used music to soothe their souls at holyrood, and some called for independence, to pave the way for a return. the fact of the matter is that the only way back into the european union for scotland is if we regain our statehood and regain our independence. i'm feeling sad because brexit is happening but really optimistic but celtic cousins in wales, where leave had the upper hand lowered the european flag outside the senedd for the final

time. what we really won with this whole thing, it wasn'tjust a political party, it was democracy. democracy has won and that's what i'm celebrating. and on the irish border, for so long the issue that seemed insurmountable in the pursuit of brexit, remainers expressed concern and regret. tomorrow morning might not be different but in the coming weeks or months ahead, as we see rights and opportunities taken away from us, we'll certainly feel it then. leave supporters in parliament square were told we would still be friends with the people of europe despite leaving the union. meanwhile, a conciliatory message was emblazoned across the white cliffs of dover. the face we still show to continental europe even if from now on, so much of our relationship has changed. john maguire, bbc news. our political correspondent helen catt is in downing street. so that moment has passed at 11pm last night. the big question is,

what will happen now? absolutely. huge, significant, historic moment overnight. at this morning very little changes, that's because we are formally in this transition period where eu law will still apply to the end of december. but in those months there is a huge task for the government to perform. they need to negotiate an entirely new trade deal with the eu. and that'll set the rules that will kick in from january next year on everything from customs and tariffs right down to affecting visas, all the sort of things which at the moment stay the same. that is at the moment stay the same. that is a big ask. expect bozos to start setting up their opening pictures, if you like, in a negotiation, pretty much immediately, in the next few days. that's what will happen over the next few months. there is a bigger picture as well. in a message released last night by downing street, boris johnson released last night by downing street, borisjohnson recognised some of the divisions that persist as you heard injohn maguire's piece, saying for some it was an astonishing moment for hope and for

others there will be a sense of anxiety and loss. one of the major tasks for him and his government is to bring the country together. there isa to bring the country together. there is a lot to be done on the practical side, negotiating, working out the important details for what our future relationship will look like going forward with the eu, there will also be legal administration that will need to be done, and parliament, in whitehall, the civil service, to make sure we will be ready to move into a new phase from next january. there is ready to move into a new phase from nextjanuary. there is this ready to move into a new phase from next january. there is this wider sense of having to reunite a country that has been pretty divided over the last three point ideas. so brexit might be done in the legal sense, but expect some of the arguments we have heard over the last three and a half years to continue —— three and a half years. helen, thank you. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 14—day quarantine in merseyside. the convoy transporting the uk nationals and 27 other passengers from wuhan arrived at arrowe park hospital, in wirral, last night. sam fenwickjoins us from

there. sam, good morning to you. what we know about the conditions and how long these 83 britons will be spending there? well, we know that they will be spending 1a days here. they arrived yesterday afternoon. they arrived yesterday afternoon. they landed at raf brize norton in oxfordshire about 1:30, yesterday lunchtime. they then travelled by a coach, up the m6, to hear, where they arrived in those two apartment blocks over there at about 7pm last night. a 15 hour flight from wuhan into oxfordshire and then that journey up the motorway. you can just imagine how weary they were when they arrived here. we understand that some people were saying that they just wanted to understand that some people were saying that theyjust wanted to get straight to bed. staff here brought in food, supplies, clean bedding,

toys for children, so they have something to do when they wake up this morning. it's important to say that the hospital is operating as normal. the accident and emergency is open, outpatients is open, and any elective surgery will go ahead as scheduled. and the community here on the wirral is in no danger. this isa on the wirral is in no danger. this is a precautionary measure and the nhs is very keen to stress that. 0k, sam, thank you for bringing us up—to—date. later in the programme we'll be hearing from one of those people in quarantine at arrowe park hospital. trying to get a sense ofjust what conditions are like within the quarantine zone. us president donald trump is set to be acquitted in his impeachment trial after senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence for consideration. democrats had hoped to sway four republicans to vote against the president, but in the end only two made the switch. chris buckler has

this report. president trump left the white house to spend the weekend at his mar—a—lago resort in florida and he can afford to relax now after vote that will cut short his impeachment trial. are there any senators in the chamber wishing to change his or her vote? if not, the yeas are 49. the nays are 51. by the narrowest of margins, a request to call witnesses was rejected. two republican senators did vote with the democrats, to hear potentially damaging testimony and demand documents, but that was half the number they needed. if the president is acquitted, with no witnesses, no documents, the acquittal will have no value because americans will know this trial was not a real trial. among the people the democrats wanted to call to give evidence wasjohn bolton, the white house's

former national security adviser. in a forthcoming book, it's claimed pieces mr trump told him of a plan to put pressure on the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, with the specific aim of forcing him to launch an investigation into president trump was my political opponents but the president's lawyers in their transcripts of phone calls show he did nothing wrong. let me read you what our ukrainian allies said. "it was normal. "we spoke about many things. "i think, when you read it, that nobody pushed me. "they think you can read minds. "i think you look at the words." senators will convene again on monday for closing arguments and then on wednesday for a final vote. it would take two—thirds of the senate to convict mr trump and remove him from office and across america, everyone knows there is no chance of that happening. chris buckler, bbc news, washington.

the northern ireland secretary julian smith has said victims of the troubles, between 1968 and 1998, who were injured through no fault of their own, will receive compensation payments for the rest of their lives. a panel led by a judge will decide who should be paid. following consultation, changes have been made to the scheme to increase the number of injured people who will qualify, and to benefit spouses and carers looking after those who were seriously injured. kobe bryant's former team, the los angeles lakers, have played their first game since his death. before taking on portland trail blazers at the staples centre, the lakers paid tribute to kobe by lining every seat with his retired number 2a and 8 jerseys. the basketball legend died in a helicopter crash in california on sunday along with his 13—year—old daughter, gianna, and seven other people. madonna has cancelled two more shows in london. the 61—year—old says she has "multiple injuries" — meaning she has to do six hours of rehab every day she performs. madonna is currently doing a residency at the london palladium, but has called off the shows

for the next two tuesdays. she says she's still defying the orders of doctors who have told her she should be playing even fewer nights. how old is madonna? 61. 61. and doing that. clearly struggling with doing that. clearly struggling with doing all the shows. on social media, which i know you are not on, she posts amazing pictures of different poses and she is mega fit. there will be a lot of people upset that she won't be able to do that.|j would that she won't be able to do that.” would think that the fans would understand. you're watching breakfast from bbc news, it's time now for a look at the newspapers. there's one story dominating most of this morning's front pages, and there are no prizes for guessing which. the times leads with last night's celebrations in parliament square as the uk bids farewell to the eu, after 47 years

of membership. acknowledging that this isn't yet the end of the road, the paper says this is "merely the end of the beginning." the mirror marks yesterday's "moment of history" as the country wakes up to a future outside of the european union and calls on the government to "build the britain we were promised" for the sake of the whole country. the express has ten pages of coverage in its special brexit edition. "rise and shine", they say, "it's a glorious new britain". someone is bucking the trend. the mail, however, leads with the news of the uk's first confirmed case of coronavirus. "how many more uk victims of virus?" it asks, as it notes officials are still trying to trace travellers who have flown in from wuhan in china, the centre of the outbreak. 13 minutes past six. it is a weekend, a saturday. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. it is going to be mild, isn't it? by and large, yes. did you know so far this winter some spots have not yet been a frost. hard to believe.

believe it or not. why did you bring it up? come on? you and i have worked together for so long. you know that would be the next question. it is still far too early in the morning, isn't it, for me? i'll let my guard down. never mind, crack on with the rest. it has been an incredibly mild winter so far. we continue that theme through today. if you have outdoor plans it be a blustery day, winds picking up as we go the day, gales in places. we will see sunshine at times. mixed in with a few downpours here and there is a will showers you. pretty mild as well. mild start out there this morning. temperatures at levels, that should be at the afternoon, not nevermind in the morning. temperatures are not going to lift you through the day. outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland but extensively through the morning. with some strengthening winds. england and wales, away from the far north, largely dry. mostly

fine during the morning. increasing amounts of sunshine. turning sunny across scotland and northern ireland late as shy was way into northern england and wales. with those we will see the winds pick up. gwyn guscott, 111—15 mph in places. by and large a mild winter. those winds go to northerly delete —— direction later. robert the milder ‘s late morning. during the afternoon it will feel cooler —— probably. sticking with the school the conditions encarta. plenty of sunshine this afternoon for the six nations match between wales and italy. fairly similar to a certain extent in dublin. one or two passing shy was not far away, overall it should stay dry. there will be shy was this evening if you are out across parts of northern england, midlands, east anglia, they will clear through. for many for a time before rain returns from the across england, wales, northern ireland as we go into the second half of the night. the far north of scotland, much of scotland the far north of england will stay dry. here

a chance ofa england will stay dry. here a chance of a frost. a frost for some of you there. the cloud and rain will be on there. the cloud and rain will be on the move as we go through tomorrow. things across england and wales if we start what dry up for a time before showers develop in the west the same in northern ireland. some could be heavy and hungry. scotland will see rain and hills no push northwards through the day. eventually lifting temperatures after that chilly start. on sunday we could see temperatures around a0 degrees across the south—east corner with some sunshine. a quick peek into the start of next week. keep an eye on what will happen. this area of low pressure we will see rain at top and tail of the country. some parts in central areas. a few showers, a little sunshine around. but while the wind will be light they will be picking up further north. anna cross parts of northern and western scotland and northern ireland. widespread gales continuing. damaging gusts of 70—80 mph. temperatures above levels where they should be. feeling a little fresher than they have done this

weekend. and into next week we will see temperatures a bit closer to the norm for early february some overnight frost returning. but not everywhere. but all he wants to do is have a cup of tea. a cup of tea and a little lie down. 2019 has brought another year of extraordinary temperatures. as we move further into 2020, a team of scientists is battling some of the world ‘s toughest weather conditions because it wants to find out how rapidly sending us cabs in antarctica will affect us. we

joined them for a tour in the most remote campsite on the planet. we have the massive glacier. the work of these scientists are doing should help us have a clear understanding of how sea levels can rise worldwide and thatis sea levels can rise worldwide and that is why we are camping here. this is the residential area, where we sleep. come and see inside. check out his crib. you have everything you need to be in the tent for a long time. a light source which is also a heater. scott himself could have used this. i think he actually used this one. you would be able to survive for days. we normally have a 20 day food box outside so you have everything you need to be

self—sufficient for a long time. everything you need to be self-sufficient for a long time. we come to the delicate subject of the antarctic toilet. the p stick or the toilet tent. a big hole in the snow and this like throne which for some reason is called a johnson box. this isa reason is called a johnson box. this is a water treatment plant. the purest water in the world. fresh, clay seal water. turn on the furnace. sausages and grapeseed oil. beautiful. spam. this is tea cheese. slightly processed, but it is perfect. special antarctic recipe.

the best thing, the tent? the white and blue colour scheme and i decorate my home with that. also in the bright crystals you get in the air, sparkling everywhere. a sense of quietness and peace and it is absolutely beautiful. that is an insight into what needs to be done or what these crews need to do in order to survive to get that information. we are constantly talking about the changing data and people have to work in those conditions over a long period. and keep good natured. amazing images. now it's time for the film review with mark kermode and jane hill.

hello, and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases is mark kermode. hello, mark. hello, a mixed bag, we have a beautiful day in the neighborhood, which is a very strange film starring tom hanks. we have richard jewell, a true story directed by clint eastwood. and the rhythm section, an uneven thriller with blake lively. so, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, you have seen it? i am already intrigued because you said it was unusual, it's kind of interesting. directed by marielle heller, who made can you ever forgive me? it is a story which centres around a legendary figure in america, fred rogers, everybody in america knows him, this symbol of everything good and honest and wholesome and truthful.

i have to say, before i saw the film, i knew nothing about him at all. in the film, we see him doing a kids show, kind of a cross between sesame street and a session with a psychiatrist. there is a journalist, lloyd vogel, played by matthew rhys, someone who is known for taking a scalpel to their subjects. they say at the beginning, "after you've has written about somebody, they don't want to talk to you again." they send him to do a profile piece on fred rogers as a series of pieces on american hero. he goes to meet fred rogers and cannot figure it out whetherhe is for real or whether it a fake. here's a clip. and, action. do you know what this is? it's lloyd... lloyd.

hold, please. we can't fire him, can we? hello, lloyd. oh, it's nice to meet you. are you all right? play at the plate. oh, that looks like it hurts. let's chat afterwards. we need to keep moving. maybe we could have evan been take a look at him? no, i'm good, i'm good. sorry, fred, just need to... all right, all right. it's wonderful to meet you, so glad you're here, lloyd, i'm looking forward to talking with you, i truly am. after this. everyone, this is lloyd vogel, he is a wonderful writer. that performance is so strange, the first time you meet the character, i couldn't get a handle on him at all, exactly as journalist is. then during their conversations, every time lloyd asks about fred, he kind of turns round back to it about being lloyd. now, this is based by a journalist

who did say that after meeting fred rogers, his worldview did change, he started to try and see the good in things. in the case of this, they have fictionalised and over dramatised the story of lloyd vogel, he is in the middle of real, personal crisis. through his meeting with fred, he does come to change, in a much more dramatic way than actually happened in real life. but the kernel of truth is there, that somebody with this dyspeptic view of the world met this figure who just seems like nobody could be that nice, nobody could be that positive, and somehow couldn't discover a chink in their armour. i have to say, it is hard, nay, impossible, to think of an actor other than tom hanks who could have pulled that character off. what did you think of it? i spent a lot of time thinking, "does it just cross the line of schmaltz?" i decided theyjust kept it back, theyjust managed it, i think that his because we all kind of love

tom hanks, and you cut him so much slack, and he's so impressive. also, when you first meet him, if you don't know the character, he is kind of creepy. the way that everything is, "hello, lloyd, how are you?" it's a little odd. "it's all about you, lloyd" and there is something that's, "no, just back off!" no, i think the film is really interesting and really strange, and i like the strangeness of it very much. yes. richard jewell, a film in which kathy bates has got a best supporting actress nomination. clint eastwood drama, based on a real—life story based on a security guard who spotted a suspect package at olympic park in 1996, and alerted the authorities, and subsequently became the subject of the fbi's investigations as he was somebody who really wanted to be a law enforcement officer. somehow, he fitted the profile of somebody who might have done something to draw attention to himself. this got out to the press, he was treated appallingly by the press. terrific performances

by paul walter hauser as richard jewell at the centre of it, very good performance by kathy bates as the mother who sees the media closing in on him and this terrible media treatment he gets. it is a salutary story, a story about what happens when somebody is thrust, completely unjustly, into the spotlight. it is a shame, therefore, that the figure of the centraljournalist who breaks the story is itself guilty of some really crass, sexist stereotyping, which is to do with the film itself wanting to say, "look at how bad media are." but actually falls into some vilification of her character which is unwarranted and unfair. although clint eastwood knows how to do simple stroke dramas, he is very good at no—fuss, you look at his best stuff. it isjust a shame... as i say, a story about the misrepresentation of somebody in the the public. it is a shame that it falls into that itself with the representation of a journalist.

and the rhythm section? based on the novel written by mark burnell, who also wrote the script. blake lively is a traumatised woman who lost herfamily in an air crash, she then discovers it was not an accident, it was an assassination. she resolves to find the killer, in order to do it, she has to find itjude law, somebody who has specialist experience, and is not pleased to see her. here is a clip. who else knows you're here? no one... i can't hear you. no, no one... no one knows but me. why did you come here then? i'm going to kill reza. oh, god...he must be terrified. help me find him. you want to kill mohammed reza? you need to hire a professional. i don't have any money. oh, well, you

have a job. you're a prostitute, aren't you? so, some talent there, good talent in front of the camera, also behind, reed morano, cinematographer turned director. the problem with it is that, on the one hand, it wants to be a serious character study, on the other hand, it wants to be a james bond style action—adventure, which is maybe like a rerun of luc besson's nikita, or more recently, something like red sparrow or atomic blonde. as a result of it, you never invest in at the characters, you never believe in them. despite some crunchy fight sequences, a well orchestrated car chase, but at no point did i think that anyone in at the film was doing anything other than acting the role of being in on the film. it is a real indication of the film does not make sense on its own terms, you don't watch it, you look at it.

you just see it pass by but you never get involved in it, and i was never involved. it is a shame because there are lots of very talented people involved in it, i think the project itself, i think, is very flawed. there's a lot of talent in the best out and worst. oh, the personal history of david copperfield, i love it, you've seen it, right? yes, yes. isn't it wonderful? armando iannucci has done a wonderfuljob with this dickens adaptation. dev patel is at the centre of a wonderful ensemble cast. you know, colour—blind casting used at its very, very best, everybody is cast because they are the right person for the role, because they bring the right skill to the role. extraordinary ensemble cast, loads of speaking parts. it's funny, it's uplifting. it looks wonderful, i think. it looks fabulous, actually, it looks a bit gilliam—esque, i think, as well. at a time, you know, there is a lot of uncertainty, it is a film that celebrates community the best in people, suggesting it is possible for people to come together and resolve their differences. you know, how timely that be? everybody needs to watch it then. dvd for anyone who wants to stay in this weekend?

finally, downton abbey, i never seen the tv show, but i didn't need to. you see the movie, you go, "yeah, that is exactly what i thought downton abbey was going to be." a friend of mine who once wrote a review of a film which said, "goes down nicely with a cup of tea." and that is downton abbey. that is perfect for dvd, isn't it? exactly, nothing to frighten the horses at all. and you get maggie smith, so what more do you want? yeah. thank you very much, mark, interesting, a curious week, interesting week. see you next week, thanks for watching, enjoy your cinema—going, bye—bye. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news.

britain has officially left the european union after a7 years of membership. at 11 o'clock last night, the historic moment was marked with an image of big ben being projected onto number 10 downing street. around a thousand brexit supporters gathered in parliament square to celebrate, whilst in contrast candle—lit vigils were held in parts of the uk to commemorate the departure. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a day quarantine in merseyside. the uk nationals were taken by coach to arrowe park hospital, in wirral, and arrived last night. this comes as two people from the same family have tested positive for the virus in the uk. us president donald trump looks set to be acquitted in his impeachment trial next week as senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence. lawmakers voted 51—a9 in the president's favour, despite two republican senators breaking ranks. democrats have described the result as a "grand tragedy" while the president tweeted from his mar—a—lago resort that his opponents would

never be satisfied. the northern ireland secretary julian smith has said victims of the troubles, between 1968 and 1998, who were injured through no fault of their own, will receive compensation payments for the rest of their lives. a panel led by a judge will decide who should be paid. following consultation, changes have been made to the scheme to increase the number of injured people who will qualify, and to benefit spouses and carers looking after those who were seriously injured. kobe bryant's former team, the los angeles lakers, have played their first game since his death. before taking on portland trail blazers at the staples centre, the lakers paid tribute to kobe by lining every seat with his retired number 2a and 8 jerseys. the basketball legend died in a helicopter crash in california on sunday along with his 13 year old daughter gianna and seven other

people. it isa it is a 6:32. there is a big weekend of sport, particularly if you are a by of sport, particularly if you are a rugby fan. good morning. good morning. the six nations kicks off this weekend. it is exciting if you area rugby this weekend. it is exciting if you are a rugby fan. even if you are not it is the oldest competition in by. it is the oldest competition in rugby. i don't know loads about by rugby. i don't know loads about rugby but i felon of the game at the world cup so i'm looking forward to learning more and enjoying this as well. especially after great performances from both england and wales. it is the opening weekend of rugby's six nations. four of the sides have new coaches, and there's been a world cup since wales lifted the trophy last year. here's austin halewood with all you need to know. so it's a new year, a fresh start, new faces at the helm, but all that's gone before won't be forgotten, the same old rivalries, the same prize on offer. a chance for those at the top to prove themselves all over again. it

is actually great to inherit a side thatis actually great to inherit a side that is full of confidence and are winning close games and know how to get across the finish line, if you like. last is really about looking at the same, how can we add value, how can we improve an organisation that has been winning more than they have been losing, if you like —— for us. their first is an opportunity, an opportunity for others to rise. ireland have been at the very top, this time last year they were the best side in the world. but the six nations and then japan best side in the world. but the six nations and thenjapan didn't go to plan. it's not too long ago everyone was talking to us about what a great side we are as well, so we take the rough with the smooth and we harness what's great about our squad and we make sure we still stand for that as well and every season, every competition, really, you try to involve your game and try to push forward. so this year will be no different for

us. the rebuilding continues further north. scotland's stronghold has been battered and broken in recent seasons, but fresh hopes around murrayfield once again. a new captain and renewed belief. we are looking to go out there and play our game are looking to go out there and play ourgame and are looking to go out there and play our game and hopefully they can show what it means to play for scotland. they will attack and movable. here is hoping for some wide, expansive by. is hoping for some wide, expansive rugby. further south, no-one knows quite what to expect. japan ended in disaster, throw in the biggest scandal this board has ever seen, and english rugby is at a crossroads —— the sport. but an opening win in paris would certainly get them back on the right path. it's rugby's aldous championship, but it's all about to begin. —— oldest championship. and you can watch the first match of this opening weekend — wales against italy

on bbc one from 1:a0. we were speaking about this yesterday. the trainers worn by eliud kipchoge, when he became the first person to run a marathon in under two hours, have been banned. the kenyan wore a prototype shoe called the alphafly, which included three carbon fibre plates and air pockets in the soles. however, another version of the shoe, the vaporfly, with just one carbon plate, will be permitted. world athletics say any shoes that have more than one "rigid embedded plate" or soles thicker than four centimetres can no longer be used. new shoes will have to be available to the public for four months before an athlete can use them in competition. jane, cani jane, can i go out shopping and buy one of those with the carbon plates? quite pricey, but yes you can. we had them on this year yesterday. yes, we cut them in half and heard about the technology as well. they did not realise he had three. yes, it was specially designed for him.

that's one of the reasons why it has been banned. they felt with the three carbon plates and quite a thick soul it propelled him forward. it effectively works as a spring.“ i understand it correctly, ordinary people will be trialling the trainers, have to try them before they are in competition. they will try to get round that. you would only have to put it into one shop, the trainers, forfour only have to put it into one shop, the trainers, for four months. yes, but they will want to sell them so they will want to put them into as many shops as possible. i think that's all right. it is an interesting story. it is technology and sport and where are the lines? have you got other stuff for us? yes, just having a little chat. the transfer deadline passed last night — there were no big money moves but this might be a name to remember for the future. 17—year—old luke matheson is leaving league two side rochdale for premier league wolves. you might remember matheson from when he scored this goal

against manchester united in the league cup earlier this season. it's been a big week for him, he passed his driving test on thursday! it gives you an idea of how young he is. at the other end of the scale, wayne rooney scored from a phenomenalfree kick for derby county in the championship last night to help them to a a—o win over stoke. the former england captain found the top corner from 20 yards out to beat the keeper for derby's third goal and rooney's first at pride park. derby are up to 13th in the table, while stoke remain 20th. defending champions st helens look like they could be the team to beat in super league again this season. they've begun the defence of their title by thrashing salford red devils a8 points to eight. in a repeat of last year's grand final, saints ran in eight tries on their way to a convincing opening win for them. could james bond end up driving a formula 1 car? james can do anything, and it could happen because 007‘s favourite car company will have a formula 1 team from next year.

the canadian billionaire lawrence stroll, who owns the silverstone based racing point f1 team, has bought a share of aston martin. he's invested almost 200 million in the car company and racing point will become aston martin racing from next year. if only they won't do so many rules with formula one cars. it could have looked very pretty. very sexy, the aston martin. the man with the golden gun could also have a golden calf. thank you. we will see you later. we stick with the sporting theme. as a teenager, ben cull had a promising football career ahead of him, until a seemingly innocuous knock to his knee changed everything. his injury led to a discovery that would turn most people's lives upside down, but ben decided he wanted to do things differently. our reporter matt graveling went to meet

him. it was my life, to be perfectly honest. from the age of 13 oh pretty much moved up here and stayed up here the majority of the week for six, seven years. pretty much became eat, sleep, play football, and repeat, i suppose. for ben cull, growing up, football wasn't just repeat, i suppose. for ben cull, growing up, football wasn'tjust a sport, it was a way of life stop at 13 he signed for southhampton.” think when i played for that, any problems you had with girlfriends or friends or things going on on the outside with family, it switches off and it becomes a peace of mind. i was looking towards a professional contract, to be fair. i was hoping inafew contract, to be fair. i was hoping in a few months down the line that that's what i was going to be offered and then secure another three — four years of being at the club. but in 2016, the world at his feet, ben took a knock to his knee. a routine scan changed everything. had a scan, and it was the

worst could be, to be perfectly honest. i can still remember being sat in his office today busily looking over to mum and dad and seeing the devastation on their faces, didn't ever really sink in for me until it got to the point of treatment. the diagnosis was ewing sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer which saw his right knee replaced with a titanium joint, knowing the whistle on his football dream. southhampton extended ben plasma contract to give him access to rehabilitation but after three years ben was built another blow when his cancer returned. the consultant deliver the news, ben was the one who sat in the room and said "will this kill you me? " room and said "will this kill you me?"i room and said "will this kill you me? " i don't think there been a day so me? " i don't think there been a day so far worry having cried over this. and i think it's that kind of how are we going to cope, just got to be strong and go day by day full dot

ben returned to hospital for chemotherapy. working with a team on southampton hospital teenage and young adult ward. ijust remind him that he has a lot more to give to the world rather than just kicking a ball and defending a goal. and it is about giving him the confidence to actually go, you know what, i am not is going to be ben the footballer, i'm going to be ben cull and make a difference. since his diagnosis, ben has become a personal trainer and raise money for cancer trust. he wa nt raise money for cancer trust. he want something to be remembered by, almost like a legacy, and everything he has done since being diagnosed with cancer is trying to inspire others and he wants to leave something that people will remember him by. not very many people live longer than five years with a recurrence of what i've got. if this has taught me anything, life is far too short to wallow in self t and i wanted to be about other people knowing that they are not the only person and especially with the great work that goes on with the teenage cancer trust trust and the

teenager, young adult ward in southampton, there is a great people who go unrecognised and i would like to send a message about all the great things that come with a bad situation, rather than being solely about myself. travel and trade between britain and the eu will be one of the main issues to be ironed out as an 11—month transition begins. nothing will change immediately and anyone arriving in the uk will not notice anything different. our correspondent gareth barlow is in harwich. he's just arrived on one of the first ferries to arrive in britain from mainland europe. that is a very glamorous pilot's dech you are right, gareth. good morning. good morning, yes, it is incredibly glamorous. although i have been told i'm not allowed to touch any buttons. we are in the mouth of the river, according to the map there. this vessel

left rotterdam at about 10pm last night. it applies the waters between the european union and the united kingdom. it does so back and forth a day after day after day. and when the uk left the european union there was no change here. it was so low— key was no change here. it was so low—key many people had gone to bed, many people were having drinks in the bar. at this operation continues as normal. and that's really the message from the people that operate shipping lines and also utilise these shipping lines, is that while these shipping lines, is that while the transition period, like you say, continues and continues to govern trade and business and travel and the status quo is maintained, then they won't be seeing changes on ships and shipping lines like this. so while they have put in base contingencies to ensure customs and immigration checks on all those things continue smoothly, they are not really having to utilise any of those contingency plans they have put in place. what happens on the first of january 2021 after the transition period, who knows? but the key message here is all about maintaining the functionalist, easy

trade. to give you a sense of that, vehicles are leaving this vessel already but they are also being loaded on at the same time. at the other end, in rotterdam, the 10th biggest port in the planet, vehicles arrived with just 15 minutes to spare before this ship sails. it's a highly efficient operation and the line is they want that to continue as long as possible. gareth, thanks very much. really interesting. the negotiations and discussions get under way. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. good morning. ithink good morning. i think you good morning. ithink you know good morning. i think you know the story of the moment. another mild day. a bit more cloud and rain across parts of scotland and northern ireland through this morning but all of us will see sunshine at some point but be prepared quite a blustery day with whent touching galeforce once again. if you are about to head out, a day with temperatures to start with

our where they should be in the afternoon. the staff are. you can see across scotland and northern ireland, lots of showers around, particularly the north and west. eventually it is northern england and western wales through the afternoon. a few showers dotted around. showers turning up in northern england and wales later on. with that, we see the wind stressing. maybe 50 miles per hour gusts. more in a northerly direction for scotland and northern ireland later and it will feel cooler as we finish the afternoon compared with this morning. elsewhere temperatures are still into double figures. at cardiff, for the start of the six nations, wales versus italy. strong wing potentially in dublin. —— wind. scotla nd wing potentially in dublin. —— wind. scotland and france, it should be

dry. evening showers fading away for a while. temperature drop in scotla nd a while. temperature drop in scotland and northern england with a frost falling. we gradually see rain push its way northwards, particularly across england, wales and into northern ireland. it could be heavy at times. pushing its way northwards to scotland and turning to snow for a time over the high ground before turning back to rain. sunshine returns further south across england, wales and northern ireland but here there would be a few showers later on. 1a degrees potentially and cooler in scotland. the start of next week, we're going to see some rain to the south. this area of low pressure we're a close eye on. widespread gales developing later for the northern half of the

country. some rain at times across central and southern england. showers starting to pack in across scotla nd showers starting to pack in across scotland and northern ireland. some central areas may get away dry. the story is the strength of the wind. damaging gusts in the evening around 80 miles per hour in parts of western scotland. we will keep you updated throughout the morning. we'll be back with the headlines at 7:00. now on breakfast, it's time for click. over the last decade or so, fashion has gotten faster. cutting—edge design techniques

coupled with a huge reduction in the cost of production and the growing success of online clothing sites, means new designs and trends can be turned into low—cost clothing much quicker than just once a season. as a result, more than1 million tons of clothes are now bought every year in the uk. the environment and the waste produced by a fast fashion is just one issue facing the industry. another is how these clothes are made in the first place. bangladesh is a case in point. it employs millions of people in this industry but has faced regular calls to improve its working conditions. some now think that adding robots to the factories may help — but at what cost to jobs? this is a very live example of the automation versus jobs argument that we hear so much about. jane copestake has been to bangladesh, and she has been given very rare access to the industry.

bangladesh is second only to china in producing clothing for the world. its ready—made garment industry is critical to the economic success of the country, providing jobs for over a million people, a majority of whom are women. mostafiz uddin is on a mission to transform the future of fashion here, starting with his denim factory in the southern port city of chittagong. the world focused its attention on bangladesh's garment industry after the rana plaza disaster in 2013, when 113a people were killed in the building collapse. the eight—storey complex housed five garment factories supplying clothing to international brands.

mostafiz focuses not only on the social well—being of his workers, but on bringing environmentally sustainable technology and innovation to the factory, including a design studio where an in—house team creates new styles ofjeans to show international buyers. and who has visited your lab?

this product that we see here would be seen in the uk in the high street? the process of distressing denim is laborious. workers here are sanding jeans by hand to create holes and whiskers on the fabric. a high—tech alternative to hand sanding is now being used in the factory that requires far fewer workers.

this laser machine cost 200,000 euros and can be operated by one person in a clean and air—conditioned room with no dust. it uses pre—programmed designs to automate the work the humans are doing next door, from burning holes into jeans to creating the whisker patterns down the legs.

a machine also won't take to the street and protest against low wages or poor working conditions. last year, bangladesh saw civil unrest from garment workers at other factories, demanding better treatment from their employers. and introducing more automation could have the unintended consequence of moving jobs away from current manufacturing hubs. this is already happening in the united states. back in dhaka, mostafiz recognises the need to engage international retailers in these important discussions. i think the solutions are on us sitting in the room today... wejoined him at two of his conferences, the denim expo and the sustainable apparel forum. technology is a big theme here, and companies like jeanologia have advanced laser machines for garment finishing, and tonello, an italian company, provides high—tech laundry.

some think this will open up new possibilities for bangladeshi workers. they can have a betterjob, for example, they can become an engineer and learn how to use the machine. they can become a designer. but others are not so sure. i don't think automation is going to benefit any worker in any industry. automation is basically a replacement of the worker by a machine.

in the industry, but some recent reports say up to 80% of simple garment work could be at risk in asia in the next five years. the creation of new machines has brought a once distant prospect of automating workflow in garment factories sharply into focus. the idea of renting clothes is nothing new, neither is doing so online. companies like rent the runway and thredup have been in the us for over a decade as has girl meets dress in the uk. but the desire for an evolving wardrobe hasn't gone away.

so i've been taking a look at a few of the uk start—ups that are using an extra bit of tech to bring this idea up a level. by rotation brings peer—to—peer clothes lending to a mobile phones, adding a spot of al to the mix. we have got two machine—learning tools that we've really built. the first one is kind of to show when listers or lenders are listing items. they don't go and take retail photos, that's actually infringement of copyright laws. the second thing we have built is helping people curate looks. if you've rented a black dress, maybe we will match, i don't know, a pair of green shoes and a green bag with it. over 8000 users, or rotators as they are known, like kat here, are already benefiting from adding an extra spot of cash from their barely—worn threads, or some wardrobe variability themselves. i got into the whole sustainability and renting things and buying secondhand in the middle of last year,

and then i found there were some rental platforms and i was like, that is amazing. i have a lot of stuff and all of my friends always want to borrow things for weddings and events, and i was like, might as well make some money from it. at what percentage of the price of the dress are you renting it for? there is a suggestion in the app but i usually... i think if the dress is like £330, it's usually between £12 and £15 a day, and then you offer a discount for a week or if they want it for a month, or if they're going away for ages then you offer them a 50% or 70% discount. by the time you've done that a few times you make back money. one app hopes to create an entire ecosystem around this idea. save your wardrobe allows you to create a digital version of your entire wardrobe. now to do this, some of this will be a matter of it scanning your email for receipts for clothing. other items you may need to photograph to input. you will also then make a note of how regularly you've worn

them. our competitive edge is that we create an ecosystem of services as a way to upcycle and extend the life of garments. logging your whole wardrobe does sound quite time—consuming though. we managed to squeeze the time to a few seconds when it comes to email scanning. so building the wardrobe through emails should take a matter of seconds, and the computer vision is strong enough to recognise the category, the colour, the brand. you do need to add the size yourself though. so if the idea of tracking our wardrobes like we track our steps takes off, maybe passing fashions could become a thing of the past. that was lara. and that's it for the short cut of this week's click. the full version is waiting for you on iplayer right now. next week we are going back to la, it is oscars weekend and we've got an entire programme dedicated

to technology and the movie industry. in the meantime, don't forget that we live on social media, on youtube, instagram, facebook and twitter at bbc click. thank for watching and we will see you back in la. good morning. welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: big ben bongs. the uk has left the european union after almost half a century. an 11—month period of transition begins today. there were scenes of celebration, and commiseration, across the country as

the moment of brexit finally arrived. the first night in quarantine for a group of 83 britons, —— we are now hearing quarantine where we will be here for the next couple of weeks —— here in. the first night in quarantine for a group of 83 britons, after being flown home from coronavirus—hit china. and we'll take a tour of the most remote campsite on earth to find out how scientists are trying to fight the climate crisis. it's the opening weekend of the six nations. four new coaches and a world cup since the last tournament — so who will take the crown this year? and in weather, another blustery day across the country. a mild start to begin with, but thinks turning colder later for some begin with, but thinks turning colder laterfor some of begin with, but thinks turning colder later for some of you. i will have the details and the full we can forecast here on breakfast. good morning to you. it's saturday, february 1. our top story: the uk is out

of the european union. the historic moment, at 11 o'clock last night, was marked by celebrations — and some commiserations — across the country. thousands of brexit supporters gathered in parliament square where speakers including, nigel farage addressed the crowds. breakfast‘s john maguire was there and has this report. they had come to parliament square from far and wide, from the north... from teesside. ..and from the south... i've come from brighton. ..to witness what the rally‘s star attraction called the greatest moment in modern british history. we should celebrate the fact that, free from the constraints of the european union, we, once again, will be able to find our place in the world. to be independent, to be free to make our own trade rules, our own laws, our own trade laws, who we trade with is supremely important for me as a briton. big ben's brexit bongs hadn't materialised. instead, clocks both digital

and famously analogue were projected onto 10 downing street. while outside the palace of westminster, they partied like it was 2020. well, that is it. brexit, the giant screens declare in red, white, and blue, "we're out." 11 o'clock on 31 january, 2020. one, of course, for the history books but really, it's the future that will determine whether or not this was the right call. of course, not everyone celebrated. some commiserated. this was oxford. are we proud to be europeans? crowd: yes! my business was put at risk because of this, my kids' futures and jobs are being put at risk and my

family disagree with it. in edinburgh, capital of a country that had voted to remain in the eu, they used music to soothe their souls at holyrood, and some called for independence to pave the way for a return. the fact of the matter is that the only way back into the european union for scotland is if we regain our statehood and regain our independence. but celtic cousins in wales, where leave had the upper hand, lowered the european flag outside the senedd for the final time. what we really won with this whole thing, it wasn'tjust a political party, it was democracy. democracy has won and that's what i'm celebrating. and on the irish border, for so long the issue that seemed insurmountable in the pursuit of brexit, remainers expressed concern and regret. tomorrow morning might not be different but in the coming weeks or months ahead, as we see rights and opportunities taken away from us, we'll certainly feel it then. leave supporters in parliament square were told we would still be friends with the people of europe

despite leaving the union. meanwhile, a conciliatory message was emblazoned across the white cliffs of dover. the face we still show to continental europe even if, from now on, so much of our relationship has changed. john maguire, bbc news. our political correspondent helen catt is in downing street. helen, there we were hearing about what happened in the uk but there we re what happened in the uk but there were lots of comments from various eu leaders marking the uk's exit from the eu. yes, as you would expect, lots of reaction from the eu. to fish out one for you, the european commission president, ursula von der leyen, thank european citizens for what they contributed to the eu. she described yesterday as being emotional but she said britain and brussels will fight for the interest on it comes to the next phase, which we are looking ahead to now, of negotiations of coming up

with a new relationship between the uk and the eu. that pretty formidable task really starts today formidable task really starts today for borisjohnson formidable task really starts today for boris johnson and formidable task really starts today for borisjohnson and for the government, to come up with this new trade deal, because at the moment we are ina trade deal, because at the moment we are in a transition period, so nothing will change practically on the ground day today until the end of december. but these negations we —— negotiations we expect to get under way pretty soon, we expect bozos to set up their opening positions in the next few days. it is quite a big task to get this trade deal done by the end of december. there are a lot of things the government will need to do here in the uk in the coming months if we are going to be in a position by the end of the transition at the end of december this year to move into the new phase of a new relationship from january next year when it ends. helen, thank you very much. helen catt there. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a—day quarantine in merseyside. the uk nationals were taken by coach to arrowe park hospital, in wirral, and arrived last night. sam fenwickjoins us from

there. good morning to you, sam. people are presumably setting in, it is their first morning in quarantine, effectively. tell us what you know of the circumstances they are in. yes, a very good morning to you. they are waking up in very unfamiliar surroundings this morning. as you say, there are 83 of them and they arrived here at about seven o'clock last night, that's after they landed at raf brize norton at 1:30pm. that's after a 15 hourflight, a norton at 1:30pm. that's after a 15 hour flight, a very long journey. you can imagine how wary they will have been feeling when they arrived here. they are in these two apartment blocks just over here. that is normally where nurses live. they have been moved out into local hotels so that they can start their two week quarantine there. we know that just before they two week quarantine there. we know thatjust before they arrived there was clean bedding and toys brought infor was clean bedding and toys brought in for children so that hopefully the two week period won't be too

boring for them. we also know that when they boarded the flight at wuhan they were asked to sign papers that meant they would agree to the isolation, so they had to agree to the isolation before they could bore that flight. now the hospital here is working as normal. accident and emergency is open, people are coming and going, our patient is working as normal. and the staff who work at the hospital won't come into contact with those in quarantine. the staff at the hospital a very keen for us to point out that there is no risk to point out that there is no risk to public health here on the wirral. that this is a precautionary measure and people should look after themselves, use common sense. if you have a sneeze, sneeze into a tissue, throw it away, catch it, benat, cilic, i think was a phrase from a few years ago. —— bin it, kill it. people are working as normal.

thank you for that update. later in the programme we will be hearing from one of those people actually in quarantine at arrowe park hospital. just trying to get a sense of what it is like for them. us president donald trump is set to be acquitted in his impeachment trial after senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence for consideration. democrats had hoped to sway four republicans to vote against the president, but in the end only two made the switch. chris buckler has this report. president trump left the white house to spend the weekend at his mar—a—lago resort in florida and he can afford to relax now after vote that will cut short his impeachment trial. are there any senators in the chamber wishing to change his or her vote? if not, the yeas are a9. the nays are 51. by the narrowest of margins, a request to call witnesses was rejected.

two republican senators did vote with the democrats, to hear potentially damaging testimony and demand documents, but that was half the number they needed. if the president is acquitted, with no witnesses, no documents, the acquittal will have no value because americans will know this trial was not a real trial. among the people the democrats wanted to call to give evidence wasjohn bolton, the white house's former national security adviser. in a forthcoming book, it's claimed he says mr trump told him of a plan to put pressure on the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, with the specific aim of forcing him to launch an investigations into president trump's political opponents but the president's lawyers in their transcripts of phone calls show he did nothing wrong. let me read you what our ukrainian allies said. "it was normal. "we spoke about many things. "i think, when you read it, that nobody pushed me. "they think you can read minds.

"i think you look at the words." senators will convene again on monday for closing arguments and then on wednesday for a final vote. it would take two—thirds of the senate to convict mr trump and remove him from office and across america, everyone knows there is no chance of that happening. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. the northern ireland secretary julian smith has said victims of the troubles, between 1968 and 1998, who were injured through no fault of their own, will receive compensation payments for the rest of their lives. a panel led by a judge will decide who should be paid. following consultation, changes have been made to the scheme to increase the number of injured people who will qualify, and to benefit spouses and carers looking after those who were seriously injured. madonna has cancelled two more shows in london. the 61—year—old says she has "multiple injuries", meaning she has to do six hours of rehab every day she performs. madonna is currently doing a residency at the london palladium,

but has called off the shows for the next two tuesdays. she says she's still defying the orders of doctors who have told her she should be playing even fewer nights. it is 12 minutes past seven. and so, after almost half a century of being in the eu, the uk has become the first member state to quit the club. it's been a tense and complicated divorce, and true to form, not without drama in the final week. in a moment we'll speak to vice—president of the european parliament, mairead mcguinness. but first let's take a look at what unfolded in the european parliament on thursday. we know you want to ban our national flies, but we are going to waive you good by and we will look forward, in the future, to working with you as a sovereign... —— flags. the future, to working with you as a sovereign... -- flags. if you disobey the rules you get cut off. will you please remove

the flags? i'm really... please sit down. resume your seats, put your flags away. you are leaving, and take them with you. that was of course brexit party leader, and now—former mep, nigel farage, on the last day of british representation in the european parliament. let's speak now to the other mep in that exchange, european parliament vice president, mairead mcguinness. shejoins us from county meath in ireland. good morning to you, mairead mcguinness. good morning to you, welcome to my kitchen. thanks very much, her breakfast and a cup of tea is on for you. we will do the interview first. how are you feeling this morning was yellow for me this is probably the first day of spring and a love spring so am happy about that. i think none of us are able to ta ke that. i think none of us are able to take on board the enormity of what has happened and the words can't describe the uncertainty of the future for both ourselves and the european union and, indeed, in the united kingdom. do i watched a lot of the television last night, and there was a fantastic

interview with arlene foster, it was interesting she was in dublin at the very moment that the united kingdom was leaving the european union and maybe that was for good reason in terms for ireland and brexit and the difficulties surrounding it. i think i a little apprehensive for the future because, as you say, the divorce took three years to negotiate and i think it has to be implemented and that will take a little bit of time to settle down and watch the implementation. and who knows how our discussions will go for the next 11 months of this year that's left? it was interesting looking at that exchange between you and nigel farage there. tony is going to be all—important now, isn't it, as discussions take place, and as the eu and the eu said the tone in the relationship for the future —— tonei in the relationship for the future —— tone i think you absolutely right. tone and relationships are everything. one who has

kept a solid tone has been michel barnier. and he will continue to be involved in it. and remember that sometimes parliaments and certainly at that moment where you just replayed and it has been replayed so many times, that was theatre and drama. nigel farage will not be at the table, the european parliament will. and i think the rhetoric, as was said yesterday, should perhaps not be listened to as much of the practicalities when we come down to a deal. anai believe united kingdom and europe want a good dealfor our people. that is ultimately what we are here to do, so the people we have been elected by. but clearly yesterday evening along the border there were some protests from people who didn't want northern ireland to leave the european union. i'm still rather concerned about the future. soi rather concerned about the future. so i hope now that spring has arrived things will calm down and we will begin a more difficult path in the next 11 months. my fear, if they can say, is that everything might be

left to the very last minute and i was think that's not good, particularly when negotiating a trade agreement. you need more time and panic at the end. who is going to drive the timetable to make sure it is not last—minute and more deadlines that the citizens of the eu and the uk are so mindful of? citizens would find it appalling. business in europe or the uk, the timeline we hope would be set by the two parties and if the negotiations. i understand, our side, the european union would deal our mandate. i dare say the uk will set out its mandate. we heard many comments from leading uk politicians and sometimes we have to close our ea rs and sometimes we have to close our ears otherwise they do not

reflect the realities of the negotiating room. negotiations can be long. it will require good relationships, friendship and a little bit of give and take both from the european perspective, and the very core of the backbone of the european union, and things that must remain solid. even though the uk has technically left the eu, the rhetoric continues. just looking at the front page of the daily telegraph today, boris johnson preparing to impose a full custom and border checks on all european goods entering the uk after rex had in a ramping up of pressure on the coming eu—uk trade talks. when headlines like these are in the

papers, whether they are leaks or speculation, what does it do in setting the tone at the negotiating table? i suppose, if it is a part of this negotiating game, it has some impact. i have been through this for three years and i ratherjust roll with it because what is on the front pages of a paper today, it can be reversed. we saw that during the divorce negotiations. absolute redlines and suddenly there were solutions to for example the irish protocol. things that nobody had anticipated. ultimately, it is all irreleva nt to anticipated. ultimately, it is all irrelevant to the hard—core negotiating table as europe has long experience in negotiating and this is peculiar because in negotiation you're trying come together but for

the first time we are trying to have someone pull away and i cannot get my head around that and it will be complicated. animal health, human health, security data, legislation, agricultural policy, to try to unpick all those and put them together in a slightly different order... it is a very complicated place that we will be in but i suppose maybe we should take the weekend off and begin again, began a new relationship. what do you think michel barnier meant when he said lessons need to be learned from brexit? from the european union side, perhaps many of us in the european parliament were busy doing our work and not watching perhaps nigel farage and his party, he were

doing nothing else except campaign for the uk to leave the european union. we also need to acknowledge that there are people that see this as personal to them. i am directly elected in ireland, i will be meeting people are listening and we are going to engage in a listening exercise. it is not a perfect arrangement but for me and for many other colleagues, it is much better to be around the table with 27 countries rather than sitting outside and wondering what is going on around the table. and the tragedy and this is enormous for me, you build relationships notjust in the parliament and during our work but as you walk outside the parliament, having a cup of coffee and sometimes as informal relationships give you a better understanding. you can

have relationships over a cup of tea. we're going to have to build another set of relationships, people ought to get on with one another while chatting and listening and i hope that brexit does not signify a break from that. it has been a delight talking to you. letting some inside. i have to ask, what is on the menu for your breakfast? all i am having isa cup for your breakfast? all i am having is a cup of tea at the moment but i think i will make my porridge. very sensible. i have a husband that makes the porridge, another good arrangement. laughter. that is a good arrangement, lucky you! thank you very much. have a good

morning. we all could do with taking the weekend off is something she said. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. iam i am listening to marie, see you later! laughter. good morning. another weekend where we see temperatures above the levels they should be. first day of february and unusually mild once again. blustery, particularly later in the afternoon. let's start with the temperatures. another day when temperatures start at levels higher than they should be during the afternoon. as i said, some rain coming and going. a few parts of eastern scotland and

northern ireland will stay dry for the bulk of the day. rain spreading into northern england and wales later. southern counties, one or two isolated showers particularly for the channel islands. turning sunnier and drier. as the wind gusts suggest, a blustery day. still coming from the south—west. temperatures into double figures but later on, it will feel cool across scotla nd later on, it will feel cool across scotland and northern ireland as a northerly breeze extent. we stick with a milder story encarta for the first of the six nations matches between wales and italy. as there will be in dublin later. a slim chance of a shower. clear skies for many for a time and then rain working northwards across much of england, wales and northern ireland during the second half of the night.

the return of some frost through much of scotland. a sunny start for the north of scotland. many in the far north will stay dry. northern and eastern england, northern ireland, rain turning to snow for a time and replaced by some sunshine but if you heavy, maybe thundery showers particularly across northern england and wales and northern ireland. another mild day towards the south—east. in the far north of scotla nd the south—east. in the far north of scotland it will stay on the chilly side. rain spreading into monday. i know you do not want to think about the return to work on monday but let me draw your attention here. increasingly strong winds through the day with damaging gusts. 70 miles an hour in the day. outbreaks of rain across wales and midlands. breeze backing up but many will have a bit of sunshine. temperatures above average.

83 britons, evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a day quarantine at arrowe park hospital, in wirral. after landing at raf brize norton in oxfordshire yesterday, the uk nationals were taken by a convoy of coaches to the merseyside hospital. matt raw and his 75—year—old mother hazel were given permission to fly, along with matt's wife, ying. here's how theirjourney unfolded. and we have landed. my mother is behind me. my wife, the chinese authorities have seen fit to allow her to travel stop we are now en route to wirral. we have police and

ambulance ascot. no traffic allowed to interrupt this convoy. we have hit gridlock on the mao. police are now blocking all of the main flow traffic to allow us to join the motorway and to proceed. we have now arrived at the hospital and we are disembarking. can you follow me, guys. we are now here in the accommodation where we will be in quarantine for the next couple of weeks and i guess we will keep you posted. i think we are now going to have a well—deserved rest. very interesting. nathalie macdermott is a lecturer in infectious diseases at king's college london. she joins us now from south london. i was watching that. it is fascinating, a couple of thoughts. you realise the scale of the preparations that have been put in. just the logistics of

the journey, the outriders, the coach journey. is that what you were expecting? yes, it is and i think we can probably help explain some of the delays from the government sidejust help explain some of the delays from the government side just because organising all of that at short notice takes a significant amount of co—ordination. notice takes a significant amount of co-ordination. those people are waking up in quarantine. tell us about some of the principles of the conditions and if the tests i assume they are having while there? they are simply quarantine in a family groups, i would are simply quarantine in a family groups, iwould imagine. they will spend 1a days there simply to try and preventing them transmitting any infection to the public if they were to be carrying it. nothing to suggest these people are infected other than the fact that they have come from an infected area so that they do not count as a suspected patients or anything like that, they

are simply contacts because they come from an infected area. 1a days and intermittently health professionals will check up on them to make sure they are not developing any symptoms. who are they allowed to be in contact with while in quarantine? they will only be allowed to be in contact with each other and they will be allowed to contact people via skype and electronically but no direct contact with other people other than the public health england and medical professionals who may be taking precautions such as face masks depending on the circumstances. you we re depending on the circumstances. you were also quarantine in relation to the ebola outbreak. can you tell us a little bit about that? into the sum of 201a, two of my colleagues contracted ebola while working together in liberia and so on my

return to the uk shortly after that, i was isolated in my apartment for 21 days, which is the incubation period for ebola. you were in your own apartment and accommodation. why was that deemed to be sufficient then and now we are seeing something more extreme as in then and now we are seeing something more extreme as in they are in a hospital and in isolation?” more extreme as in they are in a hospital and in isolation? i think it was deemed to be sufficient at that time because it wasn'tjust me andi that time because it wasn'tjust me and i think the public health authority were confident that i would honour what they were asking me to do and that they did not really have concerns otherwise. i think the difference also is that ebola is not transmitted during the incubation period but only once you have symptoms and it is through direct contact with people so rather than being airborne in the sense that i could cough or sneeze and in fa ct that i could cough or sneeze and in fact somebody if i happen to be walking past them, it is literally

direct contact so i do not think anyone was particularly concerned andi anyone was particularly concerned and i think they trusted i would honour what they were asking. i shall people who came from wuhan could also be trusted but we are dealing with a larger group of people and within that you can sometimes have individuals who do not feel so comfortable about what they are asked to be doing. thank you. talking about some of the arrangement for the people on 1a day quarantine. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello. this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt.

good morning. it is 7:30am. thanks forjoining us. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. britain has officially left the european union after a7 years of membership. at 11 o'clock last night, the historic moment was marked with an image of big ben being projected onto number 10 downing street. around a thousand brexit supporters gathered in parliament square to celebrate, whilst in contrast candle—lit vigils were held in parts of the uk to commemorate the departure. we saw the union flag being lowered in brussels and strasbourg yesterday, so how has the rest of europe reacted to the uk officially leaving the union. lets speak to our brussels reporter, adam fleming. did you think this day would come, how many times have we talked about extension upon extension, upon extension, it has happened. extension upon extension, upon extension, it has happenedm became pretty inevitable after the general election result. that is certainly how everyone here felt. that is when any chances of reds are being reversed or the deadline being

moved againjust being reversed or the deadline being moved again just fell away. and that's why yesterday wasn't in any way a dramatic moment here. it was really thinking of the best way to describe what it was like you last night as they went to a few bars, if you have the nine months, just to see what was going on. it's kind of like being at the graduation party for somebody who just failed all the exams. people were really, really sad, because they're losing british collea g u es sad, because they're losing british colleagues who they respected and have worked with, there are a bit concerned what it means of the eu to have lost a big member state, and all the officials, the technocrats, they are thinking about the next set of problems in the next set of problems is the negotiations over the future relationship. re—establishing the links between the uk and the eu in all sorts of areas, where there is the trade deal, cooperation and security, extraditing people wanted for crimes in different countries, recognising financial services regulations, data protection regulations, it's a huge effort. that effort will get under way in earnest on

monday because michel barnier, the chief exec negotiator, he's going nowhere, he is going to oversee that whole process of negotiating the future relationship. and on monday he will publish a draft of his mandate. that'll be the detailed list yet of what the eu wants to get out of this future relationship, the terms and conditions, if you like, they will offer the uk. that then has to be agreed by the 27 governments, they have to do that by the end of the month. then the real substantive negotiations where the two sides at around the table start hammering this stuff out will probably happen around the third of march. in the meantime, i think the two sides will get together to talk about the practicalities about how this next phaseis practicalities about how this next phase is going to work. here's an example of how it might feel quite different from brexit talks, looks like might have the negotiations in brussels and london. not hugely surprising or dramatic, but it means quite a big change of routine for me, because remember all the divorce negotiations took place here in

brussels. a lot of stuff to be worked out an eye can see plenty of room for disagreement. is interesting, isn't it, i spoke to the vice president of the european parliament, maria maginness, she was in her kitchen this morning saying it is time we took a weekend off, just breathe, but she was really clear about the tone of the negotiations, it needs to be conciliatory, needs to start on the right foot. it is interesting how eu leaders have been commenting about the uk's exit yesterday. yes, so maria maginness is reflecting the eu view which is this is not a moment for triumphant or disaster or trolling or bullying, and that is really epitomised by ursula von der leyen, the new president of the european commission, who anytime a microphone comes anywhere near her she says by the way this is a time for old friends and new beginnings she is really trying to reset things

from all the disagreements and the stress and the drama of the last three years to try to get things on a bit ofa three years to try to get things on a bit of a calmer footing. three years to try to get things on a bit of a calmerfooting. they three years to try to get things on a bit of a calmer footing. they have to say, one of the lessons they have learned in the last few years is that everyone always says this. everyone always says that was the ha rd everyone always says that was the hard bit, things are going to be easierfrom now on. i've hard bit, things are going to be easier from now on. i've set it about 20 times, at about 19 times it has never been true. can already see areas for disagreement. for example, just how much of the two sides want to get agreed and nailed down in the next 11 months? some on the eu side wa nt to next 11 months? some on the eu side want to prioritise on just a few co re want to prioritise on just a few core issues. some of the member states wa nt core issues. some of the member states want to put loads more issues in there. uk was to be really ambitious and get as much done as possible. i can see there being a row about that. the eu wants to focus on an overall wrapper that you put round the agreement, which they call governance, a way of managing the future relationship and solving disputes between the two sides. i am not sure the uk want

to buy that, and linkages, saying there has to be and linkages, saying there has to be an agreement on fishing rights for the eu before there is a trade deal for the uk. i'm the eu before there is a trade deal forthe uk. i'm not the eu before there is a trade deal for the uk. i'm not sure the uk is by matai the. i don't think you are not going to be busy for the next 11 months —— uk is buying that. adam fleming there. the recurring issue of the irish border and what effect brexit would have on northern ireland was central to the negotiations on leaving the eu. our northern ireland reporter richard morgan is in belfast this morning. richard, an interesting time this, of course, isn't it's we have had the rhetoric and we have had the vision, if you like, people where you are want to know how this will work in practice. yeah, and there is real anxiety and uncertainty about what is going to happen next. the irish border was a sticking point in those brexit negotiations for the last number of years and avoiding a ha rd last number of years and avoiding a hard border on the island of ireland. what has happened is that

irish border is now effectively in the irish sea and there are real concerns about what that means once the transition period ends, because northern ireland will continue to follow eu rules on manufacturing and agriculture and we will have to enforce customs codes and that means checks on goods travelling between northern ireland and great britain and politicians and business groups are deeply concerned about those admen checks, the cost involved, and the possible impact on consumers. now, the dup, they campaigned to leave the european union. sinn fein, the other main party in northern ireland wanted to remain, but both have a united front in their opposition to borisjohnson's brexit deal and they are telling the prime minister do not leave us behind over the next 11 months in those negotiations. richard, we believe leave it there for now. thank you very much. we will keep you up—to—date with the coronavirus

outbreak. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a day quarantine in merseyside. they were taken by coach to arrowe park hospital, in wirral, and arrived last night. this comes as two people from the same family have tested positive for the virus in the uk. those are the main stories this morning. itjust turned 7:38. fans will be happy today, crowded stadiums, a happy atmosphere, six nations. wales host italy, england are away to france, and scotland play ireland as well. so three big matches. i suppose in a way, post rugby world cup, there was so much attention on that, england did so well, getting so close to the final goal, but this port will be hoping that people are drawn into it. absolutely. eddie jones that people are drawn into it. absolutely. eddiejones has spoken about there being hangover after the world cup because there was the elation of getting to the final and then not managing to play quite as

well as expected and not coming away with the big prize. that is something perhaps a lot of players will feel they have to prove now and maybe take the crown away from wales. it is the opening weekend of rugby's six nations. four of the sides have new coaches, and there's been a world cup since wales lifted the trophy last year. here's austin halewood with all you need to know. so it's a new year, a fresh start, new faces at the helm, but all that's gone before won't be forgotten — the same old rivalries, the same prize on offer. a chance for those at the top to prove themselves all over again. it's actually great to inherit a side that's full of confidence and are winning close games and know how to get across the finish line, if you like. so for us it's really about looking at and saying, "how can we add value?" how can we improve an organisation that's been winning more than they've been losing, if you like. but with a fresh start comes an opportunity, an opportunity for others to rise. ireland have been at the very top. this time last year they were the best side

in the world. but the six nations and then japan didn't go to plan. it's not too long ago everyone was talking to us about what a great side we are as well, you know, so we take the rough with the smooth and we harness what's good about our squad and we make sure we still stand for that as well and every season, every competition, really, you try and evolve your game and try to push forward. so this year will be no different for us. the rebuilding continues further north. scotland's stronghold has been battered and broken in recent seasons, but fresh hopes surrounds murrayfield once again. a new captain and renewed belief. we are looking to go out there and play our game and hopefully they can show what it means to play for scotland. we going to go out there and we're going to attack their attack and we're going to attack when there've got the ball. so here's hoping for some wide, expansive rugby. further south, no—one knows

quite what to expect. japan ended in disaster, throw in the biggest scandal the sport has ever seen, and english rugby is at a crossroads. but an opening win in paris would certainly get them back on the right path. it's rugby's oldest championship, but it's all about to begin. lots to look forward to. now to all the action at the australian open. the women's final will be taking place shortly — america's sofia kenin is making her grand slam final debut against spain's garbine muguruza. and tomorrow, austria's dominic thiem will meet defending champion novak djokovic for the men's title. john watson is in melbourne for us. two players we didn't expect to see in the women's final, what kind of match will it

be? hello, jane. it will be an interesting one. a very good morning from a rather wet and drizzly melbourne. i knew! from a rather wet and drizzly melbourne. i knew i shouldn't have revelled in all that warm weather. a3 degrees yesterday and today somewhere in the mid to high teams. for some crazy weather conditions we have been having. the rain does mean the roof will be on on the rod laver arena, which could affect is a little bit. it will be an interesting matchup, that's for sure, when you consider that sofia kenin at 21, into her first grand slam vinyl, put yourself in her shoes and imagine how she will be feeling coming into this match. she said she will be filling butterflies about the way she's been playing she will be some fierce competitor out there —— feeling. she put in brilliant performances last year and has carried it through to this year. she knocked out ash barty comedy world number one, we saw her in the run of cocoa golf this year. perhaps we shouldn't be surprised when these results have been looming when you consider how well she has been playing this season ——

cocoa golf. garbine muguruza has want to grand slams of her own, she won wimbledon. if she wins here she will be one short of winning the career grand slam. not many players can say they have done that. it will be a fascinating matchup, as you say, and all eyes on the man's final to come tomorrow. dominic thiem against novak djokovic. can anyone stop djocovic? jamie murray is hoping to wina grand djocovic? jamie murray is hoping to win a grand slam doubles title, he isa win a grand slam doubles title, he is a long bethanie mattek—sands. plenty to look forward to today. you we re plenty to look forward to today. you were moaning about how hot it was yesterday, today you are moaning about how cold it is? i no. these things have a weird way of coming around, don't they? i shouldn't say these things. i'd jinx myself. we will you later on this morning. you know his problem? he doesn't listen to matt. yesterday when we were talking to matt about the weather he warned us all, he want everyone

they're saying there was a drop of something like 26 degrees, 26 degrees change, and matt predicted it all. that is why he should listen to him. where are you? look at me remembering your numbers! you did well there. they did actually message john, so i can't believe his moaning about it. do you know what that says? there are certain people on your phone see when you see a text m essa g e on your phone see when you see a text message orjust over don't bother opening or usually... he is ghosting me. now you know. we are through, john. stay with us, headlines coming up. all of us will see some sunshine but there will be rain. the afternoon will look brighter. england and wales with a few showers dotted around. set

to turn cloudier and wetter. maybe a0—50 miles per hour gusts in some areas. temperatures lift up around lunchtime than a drop. by the end of the afternoon, still mild. turning a bit colder across scotland and northern ireland. clear skies in place, a chilly night in place. scotland and the far north of england seeing the frost. mcleod and rain spreading northwards to take us into sunday. —— cloud. a bit of frost around in scotland. but some sunshine before cloud, rain and sleet starts to push its weight northwards. a few showers, sunniest of all further south also the

mildest temperatures. that is how it is looking.” south also the mildest temperatures. that is how it is looking. i know you think you got off scott free. right at the start this morning you said there were some places that had not had any frost yet over the winter you said it would be doing the research. have you found out? around the coast but most surprisingly in purple. the last time we saw temperatures drop below freezing was on the 18th of november. —— kirkwall, the far north of scotland. will it stay that way? there are signs of things may turn colder in february. but above average for the week ahead even though cooler the week ahead. you are going above and beyond. the pressure is there, charlie. what does he mean by that? i have no

idea. headlines coming up at eight a.m.. for now, enjoy newswatch. hello and welcome to newswatch with me, samira ahmed. bbc news announces plans to save £a0 million from its budget. what differences will audiences see? one casualty is the victoria derbyshire show. but is getting rid of a programme like that the answer? first, when news broke last sunday that kobe bryant had died, there was shock among his many fans worldwide, but there was also confusion among a significant proportion of the domestic audience who had never come across the american basketball star about the amount of time devoted to him on the bbc. sue was among that number. how can the bbcjustify using the story of kobe bryant's death in a helicopter crash as lead item for most of its bulletins last

sunday and monday? while acknowledging that this was an awful thing to happen, i would suggest that like myself, most of the british population have never heard of kobe bryant. come on, bbc. sort out your priorities. craig cowley was one of those more appreciative of the coverage, but with one exception. but the aspect of the bbc‘s coverage of kobe bryant's death, which produced the biggest response, arose out of this part of a report on sunday's news at ten. his list of achievements is long — and all star, an nba champion and an olympic gold medallist. he was unashamedly competitive and he was deeply frustrated when his playing career

was cut short by injuries. the basketball player featured in that sequence was not kobe bryant, but lebronjames, and that was acknowledged by presenter reeta chakrabarti who apologised for the error at the end of the bulletin, and the programme's editor, paul royall, posted this on twitter shortly afterwards. it's not the first time in recent months bbc news has confused two celebrities of black or asian heritage, and pauline okirie pronounced herself dismayed, writing... and david carrigan added... the spread of the coronavirus across china and more widely has been prominently reported

this week by bbc news, including in this piece by stephen mcdonald from the province of hubei on saturday's late bulletin. jo cunningham was watching and got in touch with us to voice her concerns about what she saw. the reporter said that he'd come across the border and everywhere was empty, nobody going about, and yet he was standing there, not wearing a mask. now, presumably, he'll go back to an hotel, maybe get on a flight, thereby potentially spreading it to other people. i just think it was very foolhardy and i think it's something that should be addressed. now, bbc news found itself very much in the headlines this week when the announcement of £a0 million of planned budget cuts. it's no secret that the corporation is under pressure because of various changes to its funding and concerns about addressing declining younger audiences after it was leaked last week that the victorian derbyshire show was coming to an end. on wednesday, more detail

was given about the plan for efficiency savings. there's to be a more story—led approach with less emphasis on dedicated reporting for individual programmes and strands, and a shift of some resources from radio and television to digital output. michael o'shea was one of a number of viewers to voice concerns. well, with me now is gavin allen who's the bbc‘s head of news output. should you be putting up more of a fight in the news? the cuts should really be more focused on other parts of the bbc like sport and entertainment. i think in fairness to colleagues across the bbc, everyone is having

to make really difficult decisions, notjust in news. it's true, news does have £80 million worth actually of targets to meet, we're halfway there, but it's not that sport and entertainment and television and everywhere else is immune to that. they also have their own targets. 0k. there have been efforts to share resources before in news, reporters and produces working for multiple outlets, and many people will be wondering what more you can do without programmes losing their distinctiveness and becoming essentially all the same. it's a really important challenge, this, and you're right — what you do not want to end up with is lots of different named programmes that all sound and look exactly the same. that would be pointless. what we have to do is reach more audiences, more viewers, more listeners and more people where they are consuming, which is increasingly digitally. and at the moment, too many people just aren't coming to the bbc, aren't coming to bbc news. we have to shift what we do and that does mean being responsive

to the ways of telling stories, and above all, the sorts of stories we tell, but it isn't about everyone having the same stories and just being a homogenised blob. that is not the outcome. there's a lot of concern, as you'll know, about cutting the victoria derbyshire show, which it was distinctive and it attracted viewers who weren't being served elsewhere, which sounds to me like by scrapping it, it's the opposite of what you say you want to do with audiences. this is really difficult and i think it's an incredibly tough time for victoria, incredibly tough time for the team, quite a young team and a very talented team, i should say, as well as it is for people across the bbc and across bbc news. but the fundamental thing is that what we are trying to really gear towards is originaljournalism where audiences are. now, they are doing original journalism. we are committed to keeping that original journalism. but if we are going to shift resources into these new areas, into new digital platforms and innovate for audiences, we have to move that resource from somewhere else, and in this case, that does

mean looking at our cost base on television. but you see, again, i'd say the derbyshire show has built up real trust with people so that they would come to that show. they wouldn't take it elsewhere, with stories like the footballers' abuse story that won awards, and you won't get that now if they haven't got that show, and those people they trust come to. i think that's the challenge for us. i'm not sure i agree that we won't get those stories. we absolutely have to work to getting those stories. but there are many media outputs and outlets that don't have tv platforms, that don't have ready... we do — we still have that, and we still have hugely trusted faces and voices. but you're right, to make sure that we keep getting those stories, that we hear from the members of the public themselves, we have to strive towards making sure they have the clear links and the clear trusted points to come to us in the first place. why don't you have a rethink on the victoria derbyshire show? well, i'll be frank, these are proposals of course, and we're talking to the teams about them. but it is about the commitment to the originaljournalism and that's something that we are going to make sure is absolutely embedded

across bbc news. the main suggestion from newswatch viewers — we heard it in that commentjust before the interview on how to save money is to stop sending newsreaders abroad to read the autocue on location into bulletins, and london—based reported to places where you already have reporters. are you going to think about doing that? well, i think, in fairness, we have been doing this progressively over the years. i think when i — even as a kid, when i was first watching tv, there were people all over the place, people talking next to another person standing... to be fair, we've had three discussions about this already this year, that's in one month. no, no, absolutely, and so we will always look really carefully at — do we need to send this person? do we need to do this outside broadcast? so, there are individual case—by—casejudgements. the flipside of that, though, it is important that we don'tjust sit behind desks, looking through agency copy and delivering the news. we've got to be where stories are, and there are occasions where it's really important that our reporters are on the spot, talking to people, listening to people, reporting, and they are doing that. they're not just reading an autocue in fairness.

so it's important we still commit to that, but you're right — where thatjudgement line is is a constantjudgement call. do you accept that the cuts you're talking about and the scale you're talking about to news output means viewers ultimately will be getting a poorer service to what they're getting at the moment? 100% not. if by viewers, you mean viewers and listeners and traditional, as it were, audiences, 100% not. this has to be about absolutely preserving the brilliance of what we do, viewers to the ten o'clock news, listeners to 5 live or viewers of breakfast at salford, absolutely have to get top—quality journalism. so, why didn't you make these cuts before then if they're going to make no difference? well, no, it's not about just about making cuts. we have targets to reach. it's about how do we shift fundamentally what we do to be story led at the centre of what we are, and the reason we didn't do it before, let's be honest, is we were facing an increasing problem of audiences not coming to us. we've got to do something about that. if we're going to reach younger audiences and fundamentally underserved audiences —

i want news to be good for me, but i want it to be good for my daughter, i also want it to be good for my mum, and wherever you live, whoever you are, you have to got to get something from a universal news service. that means we are constantly adapting and changing to ensure we're delivering that. viewers are wondering if you're cutting all these programmes and journalists, could you actually be cutting a lot more managers on high salaries? in fairness, we have made huge cuts into management levels as well in the past, because, again, this £80 million target has been going for 2.5 years or so. in this round of cuts, where are the management cuts? well, that's what we're working through now. the announcement was for a50 — up to a50 posts. those will include management level jobs, and as we work through exactly how you structure the bbc news output and story led commissioning, of course that will have knock—ons for all levels of staff. gavin allen, thank you. thank you. finally, the bbc had previously announced that the red button text service was to be phased out

starting on thursday. but following protests from users of the service, both in person outside broadcasting house, and last year on newswatch, the bbc said it would suspend the switch off and make a fresh decision in the spring. the response from miriam hodkinson. .. thank you for all your comments this week. if you want to share your opinions about what you see or hear on bbc news, including social media and online output, e—mail us, oryou can find us on twitter. you can call us and could even appear on the programme. and do have a look at our website for previous discussions. that's all

from us. we'll be back to hear your thoughts about bbc news coverage again next week. goodbye.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: bell tolls. the uk has left the european union after almost half a century. an 11—month period of transition begins today. there were scenes of celebration, and commiseration, across the country as the moment of brexit finally arrived. we are now hearing where we will be in quarantine for the next couple of weeks.

the first night in quarantine for a group of 83 britons, after being flown home from coronavirus—hit china. and we'll take a tour of the most remote campsite on earth to find out how scientists are trying to fight the climate crisis. it's the opening weekend of the six nations. four new coaches and a world cup since the last tournament — so who will take the crown this year? and in weather, another blustery day across the country, another mild start to begin with but things turn cold at later for some of you. i will have details in your full weekend forecast right here on brea kfast. it's saturday, the 1st of february. our top story: the uk is out of the european union. the historic moment, at 11 o'clock last night, was marked by celebrations — and some commiserations — across the country. thousands of brexit supporters gathered in parliament square where speakers including, nigel farage addressed the crowds. breakfast‘s john maguire was there and has this

report. they had come to parliament square from far and wide, from the north... from teesside. ..and from the south... i've come from brighton. ..to witness what the rally‘s star attraction called the greatest moment in modern british history. we should celebrate the fact that, freed from the constraints of the european union, we, once again, will be able to find our place in the world. to be independent, to be free to make our own trade rules, our own laws, our own trade laws, who we trade with is supremely important for me as a briton. big ben's brexit bongs hadn't materialised. instead, clocks both digital and famously analogue were projected onto 10 downing street. while outside the palace of westminster, they partied like it was 2020.

well, that is it. brexit, the giant screens declare in red, white, and blue, "we're out." 11 o'clock on 31 january, 2020. one, of course, for the history books but really, it's the future that will determine whether or not this was the right call. of course, not everyone celebrated. some commiserated. this was oxford. are we proud to be europeans? crowd: yes! my business was put at risk because of this, my kids' futures and jobs are being put at risk and i just profoundly disagree with it. in edinburgh, capital of a country that had voted to remain in the eu, they used music to soothe their souls at holyrood, and some called for independence to pave the way for a return. the fact of the matter is that the only way back into the european union for scotland is if we regain our statehood and regain our

independence. but celtic cousins in wales, where leave had the upper hand, lowered the european flag outside the senedd for the final time. what we really won with this whole thing, it wasn't just a political party, it was democracy. democracy has won and that's what i'm celebrating. and on the irish border, for so long the issue that seemed insurmountable in the pursuit of brexit, remainers expressed concern and regret. tomorrow morning might not be different but in the coming weeks or months ahead, as we see rights and opportunities taken away from us, we'll certainly feel it then. leave supporters in parliament square were told we would still be friends with the people of europe despite leaving the union. meanwhile, a conciliatory message was emblazoned across the white cliffs of dover. the face we still show to continental europe even if, from now on, so much of our relationship has changed. john maguire,

bbc news. our political correspondent, helen catt is in downing street. the scene of some of those moments last night at 11pm, tell us about the response from the eu at midnight their time last night. quite a lot of responses from eu leaders, certainly a lot of warm words and good wishes for the uk. donald tusk until recently was the president of the european council, tweeting to his british friends and emmanuel macron saying the relationship between the two countries will continue to be strong. but there is a real sense that doesn't mean they intend to be a pushover when it comes to the next phase, negotiating a new trade deal and relationship between the uk and eu. the president of the european commission has said that whilst she wants the best possible relationship, that could never be as good

as membership. angela merkel said the negotiations we re angela merkel said the negotiations were certainly not be easy. we expect those negotiations to get under way pretty soon, both sides are expected to start setting out their opening gambit in the next couple of days and that is where the focus will now be. thank you very much. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a—day quarantine in merseyside. the uk nationals were taken by coach to arrowe park hospital, in wirral, and arrived last night. sam fenwickjoins us from there. good morning, what can you tell us about where they are staying, how long they are staying, we know it is 14 long they are staying, we know it is 1a days, but the procedures they have to follow? a very good morning, as you say they are here for two weeks, they had a bit of a long journey yesterday. they had something like a 15 hour flight from

wuhan, then they started their journey on buses up to where oh where they are now, they arrived here seven o'clock last night. the bus as they arrived in our having a deep clean and the drivers that drove those buses are having ten days paid holiday, effectively in quarantine themselves. they have stayed in this accommodation blocks over here, they are not limited by nurses, they have moved out and into local hotels. —— they are normally left in by nurses. they are not confirmed cases. there are two confirmed cases. there are two confirmed cases. there are two confirmed cases in york, public health england i wanting to get hold of anybody who might have been in contact with those two people and you should contact the 111 if you have or might have been. thank you very much. us president donald trump looks set to be acquitted

in his impeachment trial next week as senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence. lawmakers voted 51—a9 in the president's favour, despite two republican senators breaking ranks. democrats have described the result as a "grand tragedy" while the president tweeted from his resort that his opponents would never be satisfied. kobe bryant's former team, the los angeles lakers, have played their first game since his death. every seat was lined with his retired number 2a and 8 jerseys before an emotional minute silence was held for the basketball legend who died in a helicopter crash in california on sunday along with his 13—year—old daughter gianna and seven other people. boys 2 men then sang the national anthem ahead of the game which the lakers went on to lose 127 points to 119 against the portland trail blazers. what would have been very clear was it was not about the result.

absolutely, and i imagine very difficult for a lot of people involved in that game to try and carry on regardless. eight minutes past eight is the time. "the dawn of a new era", that's how the prime minister, borisjohnson, described last night's historic departure from the eu. but what will that new era bring to a country that's perhaps more divided than ever before? in a moment we'll speak to one of the architects of the campaign that lead to brexit, daniel hannan. but first, let's take a look back at what led to this point. it will be an in—out referendum. it will be an in—out referendumm is time we take back control. take back control. strongerjobs. for the future. better off. the british people have spoken and the answer is we are out. brexit means brexit and we are out. brexit means brexit and we are out. brexit means brexit and we are going to make a success of it. you should be in brussels negotiating. get brexit done. the

only way out of the mess is to stop brexit. the ayes have it. now is the time to come together in bright and exciting chapter in our national story. we are going to wave you goodbye. they sing auld lang syne. let's speak now to the former conservative mp and key brexit campaigner, daniel hannan. we are asking a few people this morning after the 11 o'clock deadline, reflections this morning. for you are someone who campaigned for so long for this moment.” for you are someone who campaigned for so long for this moment. i am extremely happy, we have recovered the self—government that most countries in the world take for

granted. iam countries in the world take for granted. i am conscious that a large minority of people in this country are feeling fretful or depressed or as if they have lost something, and i think that creates a responsibility. we have to do this ina responsibility. we have to do this in a delicate, responsible way, as much as possible talking to and working with our allies in europe, ina way working with our allies in europe, in a way that will reassure the doubters that their worst fears are not going to be realised, and satisfy the sense that a lot of people have that this has gone on long enough and we have to move on to other things. i was struck yesterday, i went to parliament square early on about five o'clock, for the last three years when i have seen a crowd in parliament square to have almost always been angry, faces have almost always been angry, faces have been contorted, whichever side they are on. this lot were singing, they are on. this lot were singing, they were happy and i thought maybe, just maybe, we can get past the nasty culture war of the last three yea rs nasty culture war of the last three years and come together.” nasty culture war of the last three years and come together. i suppose the reality check is we are showing

some of the images from the celebrations last night, these are not the majority, most people getting on with their lives, on monday to go to work and they want their lives to be better. some people would have been thinking, this is the moment, we were promised a lot, we were told that outside of the rhetoric and notion of being in control of our destiny, that things in our day—to—day lives, could and would be different. there is a real test now as to what that looks and feels like. that is a very fair way of putting it think we should be help to that test —— out to the test but i am optimistic. i have noticed even goldman sachs which was a big supporter of remain, he said brexit would be a disaster, who threatened to relocate a lot of staff we voted to relocate a lot of staff we voted to leave, they have now opened £1 billion new european headquarters in london and are saying we are going to outgrow the euro zone in

the next few years, to outgrow the euro zone in the next few yea rs, we to outgrow the euro zone in the next few years, we have more people at work in any time in our history, stock exchange is high. exports are up, manufacturing is up, we have had more inward investment than any other country except china. i think that will now accelerate because there is certainty anything the business really hates is not knowing what is going to happen next. between march and now, when brexit was first postponed, there has been an uncertain sense and i think that will now come to an end and i look forward to patent be engaging with the world as a global trading country but also to remain interested and involved with our immediate friends and allies on the continent. earlier we spoke to the vice president of the european parliament, a couple of things she reflected on this morning, one was she said herfear is reflected on this morning, one was she said her fear is that everything to do with this next steps, which is the trade talks, everything might be left in the last minute and he

talked about certainty a moment ago, and the other one, the other thing i took from what she said, she said words cannot describe the uncertainty of the future for both parties. what do you make of those two thoughts? the second is true on a philosophical level about everything, no one can be certain. but on her main point, i think there is good grounds for thinking we will have a good and competitive trade deal with the eu. first of all, the eu is committed to it. everyone is ignoring the fact that in the political declaration of 28 countries committed themselves to a deal this year and the european commission said they will implement it on commission said they will implement itona commission said they will implement it on a interim basis if there has not been full parliamentary ratification. it is easily done, we did a similardeal ratification. it is easily done, we did a similar deal with switzerland, took less than five months, a covered aviation, transport, financial services, citizen rights and it was an agreement by the two sides to leave everything as it

stood. it is easy to say, we are happy with this, are you happy with this? let's leave it. the third point is it an awful lot of commentators, even on the bbc, had taken to talking as if though countries trade with other countries out of generosity. as we trade deal are some kind of favour. —— as though a trade deal is some kind of favour. but as of 11pm we became the single transport destination. i am expecting it to act as any other country in the world, eu self—interest like ours is to have the maximum commerce. given where we are now and the line in the sand that has been drawn awaiting the trade talks, criticism of what happens next can always be thrown back as you are whinging still. it isa back as you are whinging still. it is a bit like you, you are in

favour of brexit, people will be looking to you and your supporters may be more than anyone else to be the fiercest critics, if things are not as we we re critics, if things are not as we were promised. as i say, i am optimistic and i think i am optimistic and i think i am optimistic for a reason and logical reasons. i think we will have a more engaged global trading policy, the eu has no trade deal in place with the world's largest economy, the us or its second largest economy, china we re or its second largest economy, china were fast—growing economies like india. we will see and re—engagement with long distant continents. but i expect the decentralisation and a diffusion of power at home. there is no point bringing powers back from brussels if we then leave them festering in whitehall. i like the phrase the prime minister eased yesterday, it is not the end, it is the beginning. it should be the

beginning of a process of pushing powers download and outwards to local councils or better yet individual citizens. so we restore a sense of purpose to the ballot box and revive democracy. thank you for your time. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. he is the font of all knowledge when it comes to weather, good morning, what a lovely picture behind you. yes, lovely start in guernsey this morning. there will be one or two showers close to jersey morning. there will be one or two showers close tojersey but like the rest of the country, we started taione mile start with winds picking up taione mile start with winds picking up through the day but he bit my sun turn around, especially through this afternoon. let's deal with the temperatures, start of february, 6-11d, temperatures, start of february, 6—11d, higher than we should be by the afternoon at the stage in the year. there will be a lot of sense in developing this morning across parts of england and wales, especially the further south

you are. outbreaks of rain throughout the morning and early afternoon for scotla nd the morning and early afternoon for scotland and northern ireland, they will push eastwards along something brighter to develop, stay were a couple of showers but we will see patchy rain turning to england and wales. there will be windy across the board. nearly 50 mph gust for one or two places but it will still be on the mast out by this time of year, even if temperatures drop for the second half of the day. 12—13 in the second half of the day. 12—13 in the south or east. staying with the mild weather, in cardiff should be dry and sunny through this afternoon, mainly further north across wales, there will be a couple of passing showers in dublin, optimistic, largely dry conditions for ireland against scotland at the six nations weekend kicks off. there will be a couple of showers around, nearly through east anglia for a time. if ross may be for the northern half of the country but areas of rain pushing

their way north again —— areas of frost for the northern half of the country. we will stay with the frost open up sunday morning across parts of scotla nd sunday morning across parts of scotland especially, in the north it will be a dry and sunny day by and large. a wet start in northern ireland, northern and eastern parts of england, brightening up your but there will be some showers in the west. rain has bet its way northwards across scotland on sunday, turning to sleet and snow across higher ground. elsewhere, milderair across higher ground. elsewhere, milder air pushing back in and temperatures at 30 degrees with sunshine through the afternoon, south and east. whilst we may not wa nt to south and east. whilst we may not want to think about moneyjust yet, this area of low pressure could cause disruption later on monday, especially across the northern half of the country. occasional rain across southern parts of england, the midlands, of the wales, showers packing in across scotland, maybe some sunshine, but when skipper touching 70 or 80 mph across parts

of western scotland later —— winds could be touching 70 or 80 mph. we will keep you updated. even though by now 83 patients who have been flown out of wuhan in china have been put in quarantine. after landing at raf brize norton in oxfordshire yesterday, they were all taken by a convoy of coaches to arrowe park hospital on the wirral where they'll spend the next 1a days in quarantine. let's speak to matt raw now. he has with his family in quarantine and waking up this morning. your first morning in quarantine. tell us and maybe start off by giving us a top three of what room you are in and what the conditions are. good morning to

a great independent britain. i guess we are just extremely glad to be here. i will give you a little walk—through as best as i can and following on from that weather report, tables put the camera over, this is the view we have from the room. you can see the other apartments across the way. we have got a lovely view across the park. we did ask for a sea view, but you can't have everything. you showed us the apartments, there are 83 britons put in this accommodation. is that where eve ryo ne accommodation. is that where everyone is staying? yes, i think most of us are on the side and there will be others on the other side as well. basically, we have an appointment, it is a four—bedroom apartment with

kitchen stroke lounge, communal area, which apartment with kitchen stroke lounge, communalarea, which i apartment with kitchen stroke lounge, communal area, which i will ta ke lounge, communal area, which i will take you on a tour of. my wife and i have a bedroom, my mother has a bedroom and there is another lady and her daughter who are sharing a bedroom together, and then there is an empty, i think it is probably a quarantine bedroom in the event that somebody does become sick. why don't you show us. let's flip you around, here is our bedroom. every single thing we have asked for, there is an army of people here who are looking after us extremely well. they are running out and buying everything, television. i am taking you through towards the living room now. they have brought us televisions, radios, you name it, anything we have asked for, they brought

for us. can i ask... in fact! for, they brought for us. can i ask... in fact i think my neighbour may want to say hello to her husband, if she may. hello, i am happy here, thank you. as you carry on showing us around, tell us about the restrictions. are you allowed out of the apartment itself? who are you allowed to have contact with other than immediate family? we are allowed to have contact with anybody within the facility, as long as we are wearing face masks. in our own apartment of course, we cannot. there is actually, i am trying to show you an area just down there, we can actually go outside and get some fresh air. the windows, i think, maybe we can, yes we can actually open the windows and get some fresh air there. very

much... we are being looked after to the absolute maximum that anyone could possibly expect. frankly, as far as i am concerned, a tent would have done me fine. frankly, as far as i am concerned, a tent would have done me finem frankly, as far as i am concerned, a tent would have done me fine. it has been interesting seeing you look around, iam been interesting seeing you look around, i am assuming physically if you're fine i'm just waiting for the results —— and just waiting for the results —— and just waiting for the results but physically if you're fine? as far as we know, we activity blue —— tickety boo. we had a concierge downstairs, anything we need, be it food, they can send people to the supermarket to buy food for us. you have seen around the kitchen, we can cook for ourselves, we can do everything. anything we are

asking for, admittedly the ferrari and the grand piano have yet to materialise. well, you cannot have everything. we are very grateful for you showing us around today so thank you very much and good luck over there in the quarantine. matt and his family in quarantine. interesting seeing around, it is a flat, they are being looked after. now it is time for a look at the papers. politics professor, tim bale is with us now to tell us what's caught his eye this morning. iamjust i am just delighted we're not about brexit. the front pages dominated by that. where are you going to take us? i'm going to take you to botswana with a sad story but in some ways a hopeful story because people are doing something about it. that is the people who look after the rhinos in botswana and sawing off their

homes in order to prevent them being poached. because there horns are what they were porches are after, they are worth £55,000 a kilo under horns are worth three kilos each. why would the authorities take the horns of these amazing creatures, what they are trying to do a save their lives. they are trying to protect them and they grow back. it is worth saying they do grow back after three or four years so it is not a complete loss for the rhinos. the next story is to do with the ses and recruitment of women. yes, people may be familiar with this programme who dares wins, a woman has won that but the real ses is now inviting applications from the ses reserves aged between 17 and a2, it

is six months of training and then a two week assessment to see if you actually pass and if you do plus you get the coveted beret and £110 a day. i would love to have tried to do something like that.” day. i would love to have tried to do something like that. i reckon you could have done it. too old. i cannot believe you are too old. charlie's delight when he said the age range, just looking at me.” like the crown. apparently it is not going to be brought up to date. they had planted a six series worth but they are now only going to make five. it is interesting, not only because imelda staunton is going to because imelda staunton is going to be taking over from because imelda staunton is going to be taking overfrom olivia colman. but the is going

to be no meghan and harry episode and probably no prince andrew episode. i think peter morgan who writes it feels that is where it will come to a ending that he feels is right for the show. i can understand that in some ways, he is the author, he has to have a story that finishes well, into the 20% cheaper not going too far. the story picked up on here, the tv series at the moment is bringing a lot people's attention, this is a card that was owned by christine keeler. absolutely, people might have finished watching that or they can catch up on iplayer on the trial of christine keeler, a great series, if you are christine keeler, a great series, if you a re interested christine keeler, a great series, if you are interested in politics or the drama around the trial, i recommend it. this is the early 19605 many, it has been discovered disused, if you like, in

a garage, it is worth £20,000 on market. do you want a quick word on this? insurance problems. this is in the guardian and it is about the fact that people are stealing catalytic converters from environmentally friendly cars because of the metals inside them, rhodium and palladium, which are worth thousands of pounds. if you can steal one of these things, there has been a 600% increase in the number of these things being stolen on the streets and you can make a fortune. that means insurance will go up. insurance premiums are going up. we wa nt insurance premiums are going up. we want people to move towards these quys want people to move towards these guys but if the insurance premiums are going up, that is going to happen less. very good, you are going to come back in an hour's time for more chat. thank you very much. stay with us, headlines coming up.

hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. a summary of this morning's main news. britain has officially left the european union after a7 years of membership. at 11 o'clock last night, the historic moment was marked with an image of big ben being projected onto number 10 downing street. around 1,000 brexit supporters gathered in parliament square to celebrate, whilst in contrast candle—lit vigils were held in parts of the uk to

commemorate the departure. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a day quarantine in merseyside. they were taken by coach to arrowe park hospital, in wirral, and arrived last night. this comes as two people from the same family have tested positive for the virus in the uk. us president donald trump looks set to be acquitted in his impeachment trial next week as senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence. lawmakers voted 51—a9 in the president's favour, despite two republican senators breaking ranks. democrats have described the result as a "grand tragedy" while the president tweeted from his mar—a—lago resort that his opponents would never be satisfied. madonna has cancelled two more shows in london. the 61—year—old says she has "multiple injuries", meaning she has to do six hours of rehab every day she performs. madonna is currently doing a residency at the london palladium, but has called off the shows

for the next two tuesdays. she says she's still defying the orders of doctors who have told her she should be playing even fewer nights. i cannot imagine madonna would take advice like that, it would be quite advice like that, it would be quite a battle to say to her, no, rein it freighter appetite, there will be millions of people on their cities. it does not feel like it has been a year since the last one. it is because we had the rugby world cup. yes, that has given us the appetite for this, especially with england doing well. there is a lot around this, where you're going to watch it, get a place, what you're going to have to drink, eat, i have it all

planned. as long as you're not working. rugby‘s six nations championship kicks off this afternoon with reigning champions wales taking on italy in cardiff this afternoon. later on, ireland host scotland in dublin and england travel to france tomorrow. with plenty of anticipation for the next six weeks, sarah mulkerrins is outside the principality stadium in cardiff. sarah, four new head coaches, and wales has one of them — will that be unsettling? yes, the start of a new era for wales, as we welcome you to cardiff ona wales, as we welcome you to cardiff on a windy morning. the stadium was so used to having warren gatland in charge of the six nations, but it is a new man in charge for the national team, he is also a kiwi, wayne pivac, he was a manager with one of the domestic teens, scarlets, now he is stepping up to the mantle

as national team coach. it will be interesting to see how he gets on. he has a really strong squad, so much consistency with warren gatland in charge, so he is not made many changes, keeping things as is. a lot of those big players to call on. it will be interesting to see how the defending champions, who won the grand slam last year, how they will kick off their campaign against italy later. the second match in scotla nd italy later. the second match in scotland and ireland, ireland also have a new head coach but there are some disciplinary issues in the scotla nd some disciplinary issues in the scotland camp. yes, it is really interesting because after the world cup we have so many new starts for a lot of these teams, with ireland they had such a disappointing 2019 after great 2018. the

world cup was... in terms of scotland, they had a disappointing world cup, they have gregor townsend still in charge, but they have a new captain, stuart hogg. the build—up to the six nations has been dominated about these headlines around fen russell, he isa these headlines around fen russell, he is a wonderfully creative fly— half he is a wonderfully creative fly—half who directs play. —— finn. there have been some disciplinary issues, and he is out of the squad. adam hastings has come in. so it will be interesting to see how the scottish side do without a playmaker like finn russell. look forward to seeing how that pans out. england travel to france tomorrow. we will have more updates on the bbc brea kfast have more updates on the bbc breakfast programme. now to all of the action at the australian open.

the women's final will be getting under way shortly — america's sofia kenin is making her grand slam final debut against spain's garbine muguruza. and tomorrow, austria's dominic thiem will meet defending champion novak djokovic for the men's title. john watson is in melbourne for us. john, so many top seeds in the women's game have been put out, it makes for an interesting final. it does indeed. and three of the top ten seeds have been knocked out by garbine muguruza. women's tennis is open at the minute, nine of the last 11 grand slam tournaments have been won by different women, and we will see that again today. it is very open at the moment. we have seen sofia kenin, i don't think anyone considered she would get through to the final. she was the big star, emerging player, and put in brilliant performances last

year, so there is no surprise that we saw her knock out the number one in this tournament, ash party. garbine muguruza has won titles at wimbledon in the french open before that. if she wins here, she will be one short of achieving a career grand slam, which very few people have been able to achieve in the last 20 years or so. it will be intriguing, i young up and coming star against the more experienced player. which way it will go as anyone's guys. it is very drizzly year, so the roof will be closed. they are two big hitters. it will be fascinating, and they are heading out on court right now. don't go anywhere because while we have been speaking over the last few days you have been moaning a lot about the weather, about how hot it is, now how cold it is, but we have spotted that you have managed to squeeze in a visit to one of australia's most

iconic streets. recognise the surroundings? shall we go and say hello to mrs mangel? we have mr robinson over here who is out, he is currently running his several businesses and lassiters. mr kennedy has a lot of patients to see. but maybe libby will be in. did you meet harold bishop? isn't he still missing? not the actual actor! i don't watch it, sorry. we met a very nice security guard, who as they are 2a hours a day, seven days a week to deal with idiots like myself who show up. the where you are allowed on any of the set, in any of the houses? no, just the cul-de-sac. you

could have taken a souvenir. neighbours nostalgia, you would have done the same, surely. when in this pa rt done the same, surely. when in this part of the world you have to visit these landmarks. can you remind us of the theme tune? uh, you know it, charlie, iam of the theme tune? uh, you know it, charlie, i am sure you could sing it for us. it is too early for anyone singing this morning. thank you, john, from melbourne. football focus is on bbc one later and joining us is dan walker to tell us what's on the programme today. everyone needs good neighbours! we have a good mix today, from arsenal we are speaking to two of their youngsters, and the same at norwich, newcastle take on norwich today, and norwich have to try to get out the

relegation zone. we have spoken to them, they have done our honesty card, which has been a really interesting way to look at things. we have been speaking to kieran trippier, and they call him wayne rooney in the atletico madrid dressing room because he is the most famous english footballer! we have also been talking about auschwitz, where players have been educated about what happened and why they need to know. it is something the premier league are really on top of around this particular subject. we

all have sleep issues with this job, getting up early. no, i genuinely don't, absolutely fine. thank you, jane. i sleep fantastically well, and bounce out of bed. doesn't that make you sick? sleep is essential for all of us. rather, who around christmas time, they were mid table of league 1, they are now top of ligue one. one of the people they think has someone to do with that, james wilson, who is looking at how players sleep, what sort of beds and pillows they use, and they think pa rt pillows they use, and they think part of the success this season is down to this man, so we had a little chat to him. every player has an adjustable pillow, which allows them to have

a healthy sleep posture. also, players bringing their favourite perfume of their partner, and they spray it on their pillow. that is quite a nice idea. just something to take with you. an adjustable pillow is something that moulds to your head. if you have a big head or big hair! laughter do you have anything to say about that? not to you, charlie. sleep deprivation is something they used to punish people with in prison camps, it is necessary. we will also be talking and reflecting on an accrington stanley player, he's only 29, and in september he was talking about suffering

with depression, anxiety and the lumia. today, accrington stanley players get the chance to say goodbye and thank you. he has retired. but good on him to say he needs to worry about him, because there is life beyond the sport. he says that since he has made that decision, a huge burden has been taken off him. we are here at 12pm, with dion dublin. another man who bounces out of bed to get the weather to you is this man. absolutely! these are the latest images that have come from just outside canberra, fire is raging

around the city, worst for 17 years. we saw temperatures hit over a0 celsius on saturday, but they will gradually see rain spread across in the next 2a hours bringing a welcome drop. you can see how close they are to the capital. just pushing over the mountain hillside. changes on the mountain hillside. changes on the way there. back to the uk, we have nothing of a change, and we still have more in the way of mild weather. a blustery day, with a bit of sunshine in most parts of the country, but some rain too. this is high—temperature shape up at the moment, anywhere between six and 11 degrees. we have outbreaks of rain across scotland and northern ireland, pushing eastwards, it will brighten up a bit by the afternoon. northern england and is will see cloudy conditions, it has been a

cloudy conditions, it has been a cloudy morning in the north of england. some isolated showers through the day, but across the board it will be blustery, with temperatures touching a0 or 50 mph. also staying on the mild side. in scotla nd also staying on the mild side. in scotland it will kill off later as wind goes northerly. —— it will cool off later. those of you heading to the six nations, in cardiff it will be dry, around 11. a few showers in ireland, but they should just about avoid them. clearing skies, dry weather for a avoid them. clearing skies, dry weatherfor a time, avoid them. clearing skies, dry weather for a time, frost developing in the north of scotland. temperatures staying well above freezing but we start with frost and central northern scotland tomorrow

might bea are in the nude. so evening classes might be a little embarrassing. a new series might have the answer. a live class will be featured on bbc four next week where celebrities and experts will have a go at drawing the human body in a bid to get more people at home picking up their sketchpads. we went along to a class in london to find out what attacted them to the hobby. if you can draw the body, you can do 0k if you can draw the body, you can do ok if you have that foundation. it sounds weird, but it's nice sitting in peace and quiet, and everyone gets on with it. as long as i'm drawing and painting, i can cope with life. after about a month, if i don't draw and paint, i get a bit discontented. it is my first time at life drawing. it

has been really fun. ididn't life drawing. it has been really fun. i didn't imagine sitting and not looking at my phone for two hours. we're joined now by one of the experts from the series, lachlan goudie. i was told we are under instructions while we are talking, is that correct? yes. we obviously need are subject to draw. and i think we have one. charlie did strike a pose earlier on. i know this is not the way this works, and you can explain this, life drawing, for people who don't know, you have someone sitting and eve ryo ne know, you have someone sitting and everyone else's drawing. drawing the human figure is something we have been obsessed with tens of thousands of years, and we simply never run

out of fascination for the challenge. today i have already heard people talk about the size of your head, but you're going to be our model. where did this come from?! one of the most important things of life drawing as you measure their head then related to the length of the body. inches or centimetres? you don't do it in measurements, when you see in cartoons and on tv, artist doing this, they are taking a measurement from the model. leonardo da vinci said what you should do is have an ideal human figure of eight head measurements and height. as the model in this circumstance, i am not sure you're doing a great deal for my confidence because you walk in the room and say you have a massive head! firstly, you've got to stop moving! you're doing a

wonderful job, but you're making a mistake that a lot of amateur artists do. cani that a lot of amateur artists do. can ijust that a lot of amateur artists do. can i just say, that a lot of amateur artists do. can ijust say, i'm not an amateur artist, i am can ijust say, i'm not an amateur artist, iam rubbish. can ijust say, i'm not an amateur artist, i am rubbish. we all have this innate ability to want to do drawing, so there is no barrier to anyone taking part in this. one of the things you should start with and a humanfigure... the things you should start with and a human figure... haven't you got to start with the overall shapes? our camera is going to come in there as you start your brilliant masterpiece, can we get a close—up? you have to stop moving and fidgeting! turn and look that way. please stop moving, honestly!” fidgeting! turn and look that way. please stop moving, honestly! i will ask the question is, charlie can pose, doing two things at once can be difficult for charlie. charlie, sit

still. iam trying. sit still. i am trying. is anyone actually doing anything? i think you do not wa nt doing anything? i think you do not want me to focus on your hands on profile. i want to touch on the idea that we filmed this class, we spoke about people and they are saying it is relaxing and therapeutic because people just get is relaxing and therapeutic because peoplejust get on is relaxing and therapeutic because people just get on with it. but what if you ask someone like me, who is really not a very good artist, creative and the mind but not artistically, i kind of think what is the point? i would just torture myself knowing i'm not very good. adults are often very stressed about whether their drawings are going to be awful. when you go into a drawing class, don't expect to be michelangelo. take it as an opportunity not to be thinking about brexit, or any other current affairs problem that you have to come up and you are in work, and escape a little bit. it is like mind yoga. you're engaged in a simple activity, observing, slowing

your heart rate, doing what you don't normally do. as my head really that big? doing what you don't normally do. as i 7i! doing what you don't normally do. as my head really that big? i have made your head quite small here! how long have we got in this item? i think we have two hours. how many classes would you need to take to feel comfortable? i think that if you were to get into a routine, you are able to attend a live class, once a week, within six months you would see an extraordinary change in your confidence. but the point is, your confidence. but the point is, you don't have to be able to create the most accurate representational drawings. you just need to be able to enjoy the process

of making marks. you could make an abstract impression of a human figure or you could try to do a forensic drawing of your subject. the principle is, it should be relaxing with no pressure, you have 20 seconds to finish that and it better be good!” think that given the endless amount of goading of me, i think i have made you look like a greek god.” tell you what, that is lovely. the profile is there. and the hair. he looked quite elegant. could i see it? you'll look like a catalogue —— you look like a catalogue —— you look like a catalogue model. it is quite

calming. you weren't very relaxed, but i can absolutely see that you we re but i can absolutely see that you were kind of relaxing, it is relaxing. people think it will be really awkward at a life drawing class, all the connotations. drawing the human form, we all inhabit an honestjob to do. look at that! it is mr blobby. you told me i had to draw an overall shape. the first when i got wrong, you told me because i concentrated on the head too much. very simple overall sketch of the human body is what i did, and if you at the programme, we will be giving more tips. it is supposed to be building confidence and relaxing, you do something like this, put yourself out there and all you get

is laughing in your earfrom your director laughing at your efforts. this is why we do not like these people. i think you should press on, there is michelangelo potential. life drawing live is on bbc four, this tuesday at 8 o'clock. last night on the border with spain, the eu flag was lowered and the commonwealth flag raised — as gibraltar left the union. 96% of voters there chose to remain in the eu — with many now left wondering what impact negotiations between the territory and spain will have. our europe reporter, gavin lee is there now. it was midnight when the change came in where you were. what happened, what does it feel like? it is a fascinating place to be, they did something a little different here.

last night, if we have a look at their late edition of the gibraltar chronicle, they lowered the eu flag. but something different is that they raised the commonwealth flag and also had the music to the eu and them, ode tojoy. at this busy crossing behind me, a couple are trying to do a turn, they waving at us, but 50,000 people every day come through from spain, what is now the eu into non—eu gibraltar, a british overseas territory. if you look over here, we can see the commonwealth flag and a beautiful sight of the rock this morning. what happens to this place? it was never in the customs union, which is why cars are checked on both sides. but the chief

minister is talking about trying to get gibraltar in the schengen passport free zone. i have been speaking to the chief minister and i started by asking him how he feels this morning. yesterday was laced with an element of sadness, the eu has been an important part of the political life in gibraltar not just for a7 years, but particularly since spain joined for a7 years, but particularly since spainjoined in 1986. there was an element of trepidation when we voted three years ago, and we lost the vote. yesterday we had to give effect to the result of the winners' view, which is that we should leave and lower the european flag. view, which is that we should leave and lower the european flagm view, which is that we should leave and lower the european flag. it is worth saying that this was the area where most people voted to remain, 96% of 32,000 people, of those who voted chose to remain. one thing thatis voted chose to remain. one thing that is worth pointing out as we

have been talking about the border. you have mentioned in a previous interview that what to buy the idea of staying in the schengen passport free zone, such as switzerland and wished on spine. we didn't say staying in because we are not presently in. it may mean having the equivalent of a travel area agreement with the schengen zone, so we do not move into the stage where have immigration controls which are stricter than we can suffer here, principally to come to work in gibraltar between eight o'clock in the morning and ten o'clock in the morning, and you cannotjust put controls in the way of them. we also have a resident population in gibraltar, and requiring them to have visas or their passports stamped if they want to go and see their relatives or simply want to p0p their relatives or simply want to pop over to the european phalange would be really quite impossible to

police in an appropriate way. so, i think a pragmatic chief minister talking to us. we see the new flag of the commonwealth in the background, and people want to get used to it because as one person on the other side of the border said to me earlier in malaga, they said they felt nothing is different yet everything has changed. that is what it feels like this morning. we are no longer in the eu on the side of the border, but it is a different feeling to the uk, where so many people here voted remain. really interesting, thank you very much. what a lovely sunny day. headlines are coming up soon.

good morning, welcome to breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. our headlines today: bell tolls. the uk has left the european union after almost half a century. an 11—month period of transition begins today. there were scenes of celebration, and commiseration, across the country as the moment of brexit finally arrived. we are now here in the accomodation where we will be in quarantine for the next couple of weeks. the first night in quarantine for a group of 83 britons, after being flown home from coronavirus—hit china. it's the opening weekend of the six nations.

four new coaches and a world cup since the last tournament — so who will take the crown this year? and in weather, another blustery day across the country, another mild start to begin with but things turn cold laterfor some of you. i will have details in your full weekend forecast right here on breakfast. it's saturday the 1st of february. our top story: the uk is out of the european union. the historic moment, at 11 o'clock last night, was marked by celebrations — and some commiserations — across the country. thousands of brexit supporters gathered in parliament square where speakers including nigel farage addressed the crowds. breakfast‘s john maguire was there and has this report. they had come to parliament square from far and wide, from the north... from teesside. ..and from the south... i've come from brighton. ..to witness what the rally‘s star attraction called the greatest moment in modern british history. we should celebrate the fact that,

freed from the constraints of the european union, we, once again, will be able to find our place in the world. to be independent, to be free to make our own trade rules, our own laws, our own trade laws, who we trade with is supremely important for me as a briton. big ben's brexit bongs hadn't materialised. instead, clocks both digital and famously analogue were projected onto 10 downing street. while outside the palace of westminster, they partied like it was 2020. well, that is it. brexit, the giant screens declare in red, white, and blue, "we're out." 11 o'clock on 31 january, 2020. one, of course, for the history books but really, it's the future that will determine whether or

not this was the right call. of course, not everyone celebrated. some commiserated. this was oxford. are we proud to be europeans? crowd: yes! my business was put at risk because of this, my kids' futures and jobs are being put at risk and i just profoundly disagree with it. in edinburgh, capital of a country that had voted to remain in the eu, they used music to soothe their souls at holyrood, and some called for independence to pave the way for a return. the fact of the matter is that the only way back into the european union for scotland is if we regain our statehood and regain our independence. but celtic cousins in wales, where leave had the upper hand, lowered the european flag outside the senedd for the final time. what we really won with this whole thing, it wasn't just a political party, it was democracy.

democracy has won and that's what i'm celebrating. and on the irish border, for so long the issue that seemed insurmountable in the pursuit of brexit, remainers expressed concern and regret. tomorrow morning might not be different but in the coming weeks or months ahead, as we see rights and opportunities taken away from us, we'll certainly feel it then. leave supporters in parliament square were told we would still be friends with the people of europe despite leaving the union. meanwhile, a conciliatory message was emblazoned across the white cliffs of dover. the face we still show to continental europe even if, from now on, so much of our relationship has changed. john maguire, bbc news. we saw the union flag being lowered in brussels and strasbourg yesterday, so how has the rest of europe reacted to brexit. lets speak to our brussels reporter, adam fleming.

when they were lowered, there is that sense of loss, a friendship that sense of loss, a friendship thatis that sense of loss, a friendship that is changing from the eu. yes, you talk to the officials and diplomats and they are sad their british colleagues they have worked with for a while, are either leaving or staying in brussels but they will be interacting with them in a different way. i will give you an example. the uk chromatic hq -- diplomatic hq was a member state just like poland has one or spain or portugal, this morning someone came out, i'm screwed the plaque and replaced it with one saying uk mission to the eu. admission is what the uk has two international organisations like the world trade organisations like the world trade organisation in geneva or the united nations in new york. i know that sounds technical but for me as

somebody who lives and works there, thatis somebody who lives and works there, that is quite a big symbol of how the uk's status in the city has totally changed overnight. the weird thing is we are in this transition period which the government because the implementation period where eu laws, policies and rules will apply in the uk for the rest of the year. the key thing is the uk will not be represented in any of the other buildings around here where they have meetings about those rules, laws and policies. thanks very much. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a day quarantine in merseyside. they were taken by coach to arrowe park hospital, in wirral, and arrived last night. this comes as two people from the same family have tested positive for the virus in the uk. we are allowed to have contact with anybody within the facility, as long as we are wearing face

masks. in our own apartment, of course, we cannot. there is actually, i am trying to show you, an area just down there. we can actually go outside and get some fresh air. nature is giving us a look around the quarantine facilities in the flat —— matt was giving us a look. us president donald trump is set to be acquitted in his impeachment trial after senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence for consideration. democrats had hoped to sway four republicans to vote against the president, but in the end only two made the switch. chris buckler has this report. president trump left the white house to spend the weekend at his mar—a—lago resort in florida and he can afford to relax now after a vote that will cut short his impeachment trial. are there any senators in the chamber wishing to change his or her vote? if not, the yeas are a9.

the nays are 51. by the narrowest of margins, a request to call witnesses was rejected. two republican senators did vote with the democrats, to hear potentially damaging testimony and demand documents, but that was half the number they needed. if the president is acquitted, with no witnesses, no documents, the acquittal will have no value because americans will know this trial was not a real trial. among the people the democrats wanted to call to give evidence wasjohn bolton, the white house's former national security adviser. in a forthcoming book, it's claimed he says mr trump told him of a plan to put pressure on the ukrainian president, volodymyr zelensky, with the specific aim of forcing him to launch investigations into president trump's

political opponents, but the president's lawyers in their transcripts of phone calls show he did nothing wrong. let me read you what our ukrainian allies said. "it was normal. "we spoke about many things. "i think, when you read it, that nobody pushed me. "they think you can read minds. "i think you look at the words." senators will convene again on monday for closing arguments and then on wednesday for a final vote. it would take two—thirds of the senate to convict mr trump and remove him from office and across america, everyone knows there is no chance of that happening. chris buckler, bbc news, washington. it is nine minutes past nine. the northern ireland secretaryjulian smith has said victims of ‘the troubles' between 1968 and 1998 who were injured through no fault of their own will receive compensation payments for the rest of their lives. a panel led by a judge will decide who should be paid. following consultation, changes have been made to the scheme to increase the number of injured

people who will qualify, and to benefit spouses and carers looking after those who were seriously injured. those are the main stories this morning. it is the 1st of february, that date very significant. yes because the uk is out of the eu. for nearly four years the issue of brexit has divided not only the nation, but families and friends. there has been quite a bit of arguing. during that time, here on breakfast, we've heard from people whose relationships have been affected — so can we now begin to heal those broken bonds? well, we're joined now by our brexit panel members — remainer lance casely—hayford, we are all leavers now, ex—remainer really, who was a student when we first met him and business owner

alex povey, who voted to leave. you can't invite someone from stoke—on—trent without me bringing some oatcakes. the bonding is already beginning. do you see what alex has done, he is carrying favour already. they look like pancakes. here are emma and sandra, mum and daughter who are on different sides. just explain to people how this worked out in the family dynamic. who thought what? i was a lever, emma was a remainer. we are the only two in the family who have discussed this in depth. we both respect each other‘s views, so we don't agree with pull the ends of the discussion and throughout the three and a half yea rs, and throughout the three and a half yea rs , we and throughout the three and a half yea rs, we have and throughout the three and a half years, we have just, and throughout the three and a half years, we havejust, how have and throughout the three and a half years, we have just, how have we done it? we have argued and argued

again. take us to where we are now. anyway, i suppose you have got what you wanted. we are where we are, emma how do you reflect now? we are where we are. it is a sad day for me and for other people who didn't want this outcome. i think the key thing now is what happens next. a lot has been promised and making sure it gets delivered. when you... when you we re gets delivered. when you... when you were arguing, were you trying to persuade each other to come to the other point of view or were you justify your position?” other point of view or were you justify your position? i think it was a bit of both. i think it was. we are out opposite ends of the spectrum, you naturally want to persuade someone to agree with you but there was no way i was ever going to change her mind what she was saying was going to change my mind. it is interesting, because you are talking about how you

moved forward. lance, you are a remainer, how do you feel today? were you watching anything that was going on last night in terms of celebrations and commiserations?” last night in terms of celebrations and commiserations? i don't really watch anything. in terms of howl feel, i guess i am like any other remainer, as you said we are all reverse now, but i do feel disappointed. but i am relieved because the last three years of british politics have been something else. it has been event after event after event. these to say a week is after event. these to say a week is a long time in politics, and our was a long time in politics, and our was a long time in politics, and our was a long time in politics. just what you down, really? i have two grey hairs on my chin. i am like, what happened? we are where we are, this is it. alex, you're a small-business owner, what do you do? oatcakes. i

suppose the one thing that may be, i check this out into the room, that unifies people is everyone wants to know what will it be like now. the promises from those who wanted to leave, the concerns of those who wa nt to leave, the concerns of those who want to remain, we are all in the same place now. for small businesses like myself, it will be business as normal. we carry on. i run a factory, it was funded by the eu, i still voted to leave because i think the uk can do better on its own. half of the workforce is eastern european and they wanted to vote leave as well. i know one of the things you rely on is the economy, because of people have not got money, they are not going to buy your oatca kes money, they are not going to buy your oatcakes so that will presumably what your mug looking most closely. exactly. if the economy goes below, they

will go with a cheaper alternative. 80% of stoke—on—trent was voting leaves, staffordshire is now blue because of brexit, because politicians not to bring on doing what the people asked for. i felt stoke—on—trent was going to be read for life but it is now blue, blue is going to make grounds in staffordshire, and at the next general election who knows what will happen. you are talking about the switch from labour to conservative. i see you nodding, i am not sure if you are nodding or shaking your head. i was nodding in agreement to the fact that we are in a situation now where brexit has changed a lot of minds terms of places like staffordshi re of minds terms of places like staffordshire and west yorkshire and elsewhere, in doncaster. i can't render if it was doncaster exactly, but places in south yorkshire. it is a bit like, if you don't listen to people, this is what

happens.” suppose what happens though with that, it promises made,... big promises. and to focus on the north. i suppose with those who have got their way, sandra you got what you voted for, there is a responsibility on that site to deliver those promises, to prove, as you have been arguing with emma, that it was the right decision and economy and society is not going to suffer.m is on the government's had to produce what they have said and to do it ina produce what they have said and to do it in a timely fashion. if they don't do it, like we were discussing earlier, you will told people who voted brexit responsible, you will hold the government. the government asked us a question, the people responded and this time the big majority now want what he says

by... is december the 31st? he has 11 months to prove he is worthy of the votes he hasjust received and to me,| votes he hasjust received and to me, i haven't a crystal ball, i don't know what is going to happen, i hope it has to be better than what lance has said. the last three years have been horrendous politically for everybody. nid want to kick as off around sofa, —— emma, do you want to kick us off around the sofa. does it feel different today? i know practically everyone is saying it is not different, but does it feel different? i feel different, i felt different? i feel different, i felt different last night when the newsflash came up on my phone. i felt sad. i felt i live newsflash came up on my phone. i felt sad. ifelt i live in a country thatis felt sad. ifelt i live in a country that is smaller and is looking inwards and not outwards. do you feel different? i don't feel any different. i feel as much as i agree

with lance, i was ready well before the election, said up to the back teeth with a government that wasn't working, wouldn't do anything and now we know which direction we are going and have faith that the government should do as they say. i woke up this morning thinking right, this is where it begins. this is where we are at. it is that simple. it is, as we are discussing, we're best friends now, it is on boris johnson and the conservative party to make sure they deliver on their promises. if they don't, they will, i think, suffer the consequences and the country will suffer the consequences. it is not on the voters, it is not on remainers, it is not on people who voted to leave, it is on borisjohnson. is not on people who voted to leave, it is on boris johnson. that pressure should be, or do feel a someone who wanted to leave, that

there is a responsibility to make sure you keep your voice heard? yes, absolutely. and get that delivered? absolutely, it feels like it should bea absolutely, it feels like it should be a bank holiday today, a day of celebration. people like boris johnson has proven his track record, he is doing what he should be doing. can you keep it up? who knows? lovely to see you all. goodbye. thank you. would you put on oatca kes ? thank you. would you put on oatcakes? geez. bacon. banana. are you an expert? i love those, i go and babysit in staffordshire and picked up some local knowledge. thank you. life drawing, i made an

effort to capture your essence. a little earlier we had an expert telling us about how good it is. everybody should try and do a bit of drawing. jill has messaged and said it is something you hear in school so often, don't compare yourself to work other than your own. judge own work, not that of others and you are doing really well. i think i have inspired people to put it out there a bit because matt has been drawing as well. which is which? 0h, which is which? oh, isee which is which? oh, i see now. which is which? oh, isee now. even which is which? oh, i see now. even i can work that out. ijust wonder, what out. i just wonder, what are we holding and why are we holding what we are holding where we are holding them. charlie has got a cue card and you have got mugs. 0h, have got mugs. oh, mugs. it looks like cheese and sausage on

a stick. well done, thank you. can you see the likeness? don't you go. that is what you were imagining. i had 30 seconds, there you go. don't compare to anybody else, you are doing really well. we are into a new month, loveless sonny start. we will see a bit of sunshine at times but a blustery day and it is not completely dry as i will show you. it is miles across the board, temperatures well above levels they should be at this of year. as i said, there is some rain, scotla nd year. as i said, there is some rain, scotland and northern ireland see the bulk of that this morning, especially the further west, it will push its way eastwards through the day. brightening up through the afternoon with a couple of showers. more rain developing as we go into the afternoon but further south, cloud breaking up, long sunny

spells, and he showers few and far between but very blustery day. winds will not pick up greater across the far north of scotland. normally when so temperatures will drop, relative to what you have got at the moment but for most it stays mild and it will be mild for those heading off to cardiff for the opener in the six nations this weekend between wales and italy. quite a bit of sunshine around but blustery wind, as there will be in dublin. that could push showers to the city but overall, it will be dry. as you go into this evening and overnight, we have got a couple of showers across wales, the midlands, northern england. under dry conditions, lighter winds for a time, if russell —— a frost will develop in the northern half of the country. rain spreads its way northwards through much of england, wales and northern ireland. scotland will wake up to anything close to a frost. lovely bright start in

scotland, mostly dry on sunday but elsewhere it turns wetter with outbreaks of snow over the hills. north and eastern parts of england will turn drier and brighter. further south, the spots of light rain and drizzle, many will stay dry and up to 1a degrees. five or six in northern parts of scotland. whilst we may not be wanting to think about monday, having only just we may not be wanting to think about monday, having onlyjust opened up the weekend, keep an eye on the low pressure. it will bring rain in but we we re pressure. it will bring rain in but we were the strengthening winds across western scotland and northern ireland and by the end of the afternoon, as we head towards the evening rush hour, we can see damaging gusts of around 70 or 80 mph so keep checking the forecast for that. even with that into the air pitching in, we have temperatures above where they should pay for this time of year and on that note, it has been a pretty mild winter so far. a

couple of spots in the uk, believe it or not, have not seen a frost, one being kirkwall in orkney. last time a frost was here was in mid—november. incredible. there you go. they're impressed they‘ re impressed with they're impressed with the artistry, thank you very much. 83 britons, evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a day quarantine after landing at raf brize norton in oxfordshire yesterday, the uk nationals were taken by a convoy of coaches to the merseyside hospital. two people who are confirmed to have contracted the virus are in hospital in newcastle. nathalie macdermott is a lecturer in infectious diseases at king's college london. (05) she joins us now from south london. what can you tell us for anyone who is thinking, what goes on with these people who are in quarantine? what are people expecting to see, why

only 1a days? are people expecting to see, why only 14 days? these people are simply being kept in an isolated area to keep them away from people where they could potentially infect people if they were to be infected, we need to remember these people are not a suspect cases of infection, they are simply people who have potentially had contact because they have come from an affected area. they are not known to be infected or have any symptoms. they are being isolated away from the public in case they were carrying the virus and spat it to them. they will be monitored by officials from public health england and health care professionals to make sure they don't develop any symptoms. if they do, they will be transferred to a health care facility to be looked after but otherwise, they are simply there for the 1a day period. the reason it is 1a days is because it is understood to be the maximum incubation period of the virus. that is the time from which someone could

be infected with the virus to the point where they may develop symptoms. how much reliance is going to be put upon people being honest and open about any potential symptoms? not necessarily these ones but anyone who has come into contact with someone who may have come into contact with the virus.” with someone who may have come into contact with the virus. i think it is important that people are honest about this and their symptoms, it is in the person's best interest to be honest about their symptoms because they will get prompt medical treatment and assessment to see, if this is one of the other winter viruses causing coughs and colds and influenza —like symptoms or the corona virus? people do not need to be afraid. they will receive optimal nhs care if what they have is coronavirus. it is then everybody‘s best interest that people are honest about their symptoms and that way they can be isolated, not

transmitted to other people and receive excellent care. there were lessons learned from sars and there has been praised from the way china has been praised from the way china has handled this. what has been wrote that will make what happens now in the uk where we have two confirmed cases and these 83 britons in quarantine, that means this will be much more efficient and the public is safer? well, i think the primary thing that has happened this time which didn't happen previously was very open communication about what was happening in china, that there was potentially a virus spreading that was an unknown virus and very quickly, the chinese authorities were able to give us the genetic sequence so that people could start developing diagnostic tests a nd could start developing diagnostic tests and start looking at what type of virus is this and does it differ from other viruses we have

seen, it is the testing of patients and suspects of cases that is of primary importance because it enables us to isolate people and that will limit how the virus spreads to other people. thank you very much for that information. coming up in the next half hour... we are talking about climate change and the information scientists are gathering, and insight into some of the condition they have to operate in. this is the antarctic. we've been to visit the most remote campsite on the planet. the information is essential. when we looked at that they had a stove inside the tent. isaid to stove inside the tent. i said to you, dangerous. he said

no, absolutely fine. what would you cook inside the tent? it would be fine. what would you cook. soup, broth. that is not picking, that is warming up. matt takes over in the saturday kitchen. we have been given oatcakes from staffordshire, traditional oatcakes. have you ever had and a kick, what would you do with it?” have you ever had and a kick, what would you do with it? i like in oatca ke, would you do with it? i like in oatcake, they are quite dry. there are nice with cheese. i like them with strong tasting cheese. you impart such enthusiasm and knowledge. see if you can do better on the programme. i am saving myself! one and a half hours of energy to give you

later. our special guest today, i wish we had rehearsed this, as radio1 presenter, she should opt —— she swapped her live lounge for the kitchen, it is clara amfo.” swapped her live lounge for the kitchen, it is clara amfo. i love to eat, that is why i want to be here. do you like in oatcake? dry and crumbly. we will talk about that later on. what is your food heaven? i say later on. what is your food heaven? isaya later on. what is your food heaven? i say a nice sea bass, i love a good white flesh. was it necessary? what about hell? anything to do with coriander. i do not like it at all, andl coriander. i do not like it at all, and i do not care for turkey. have you got a noise for that? we have

got three great chefs. danilo cortellini, get happy here from the italian embassy. i am doing gnocchi. gnocchi is good. sam and shauna, how are you? what have you got? we are clicking brits. — — are you? what have you got? we are clicking brits. —— clicking grits.” have got some fantastic wine. brilliant, you guys are in charge of what claret gets to eat. when coriander was mentioned the whole tea m coriander was mentioned the whole team here liked it. quite a lot people hate it though. they are not our friends, either. you can choose your friends based on our friends, either. you can choose yourfriends based on what our friends, either. you can choose your friends based on what herbs they eat. —— cannot.

your friends based on what herbs they eat. -- cannot. have a brilliant show, see you later. stay with us, headlines coming up. hello, this is breakfast with naga munchetty and charlie stayt. a summary of this morning's main news. britain has officially left the european union after a7 years of membership. at 11 o'clock last night, the historic moment was marked with an image of big ben being projected onto number 10 downing

street. around 1,000 brexit supporters gathered in parliament square to celebrate, whilst in contrast candle—lit vigils were held in parts of the uk to commemorate the departure. 83 british people, who were evacuated from the centre of the coronavirus outbreak in china, have begun their 1a day quarantine in merseyside. they were taken by coach to arrowe park hospital, in wirral, and arrived last night. this comes as two people from the same family have tested positive for the virus in the uk. us president donald trump looks set to be acquitted in his impeachment trial next week as senators voted against calling witnesses or admitting new evidence. lawmakers voted 51—a9 in the president's favour, despite two republican senators breaking ranks. democrats have described the result as a "grand tragedy" while the president tweeted from his mar—a—lago resort that his opponents would never be satisfied.

the northern ireland secretary julian smith has said victims of the troubles between 1968 and 1998 who were injured through no fault of their own will receive compensation payments for the rest of their lives. a panel led by a judge will decide who should be paid. following consultation, changes have been made to the scheme to increase the number of injured people who will qualify, and to benefit spouses and carers looking after those who were seriously injured. kobe bryant's former team, the los angeles lakers, have played their first game since his death. every seat was lined with his retired number 2a and 8 jerseys before an emotional minutes silence was held. the basketball legend died in a helicopter crash in california on sunday along with his 13—year—old daughter gianna and seven other people. boys 2 men then sang the national anthem ahead of the game which the lakers went on to lose 127 points to 119 against the portland

trail blazers. just what a figure he represented for so many, not just just what a figure he represented for so many, notjust in basketball, but the whole sporting world, the emotion in that room would have been very high, and very respectful actually, i think the result is irrelevant. sport is very good sometimes, isn't it, at dealing with those emotions, giving people a chance? there are a lot of people in the stadium, lots of people watching worldwide all wanting to share in a moment.” think when people come together as well in such a large capacity, it is appropriate, and put into context that the match doesn't matter, and certainly, kobe bryant, and what he represented, and his family as well, he talked so much about what a family man he was, and his four

daughters. what about the six nations? it is going to be a big weekend. rugby‘s six nations championship kicks off in cardiff later this afternoon as champions wales host italy at the principality stadium. with a chance to score some early points, wales will be looking for a strong start to this year's tournament. sarah mulkerrins is in cardiff for us. wales are the holders, but with a new head coach, it might not be so easy for them to defend their titles? did morning from inside the principality stadium. this is the trophy at the moment that wales will be defending, but it will be a tough task for them to do. back to back titles after the great grand slam victory for wales last year. let's bring in the former wales captain. a magnificent trophy, warren gatland,

what a wonderful way to sign off the six nations for him last year. wayne pivac is the new man in charge. we walked past gatland gate on the way in. yes, very big boots to fill, many people refer to him as god. he is held in big esteem. people are excited about wayne pivac, people are very aware of the impact he had at scarlets, he transformed them into a free—flowing rugby loving creative team, so if he can bring back try scoring ability, which is maybe something we haven't been that brilliant at, i think it will be exciting to see his impact. it was all about the defence for wales. in terms of team selection, but do we think it says for the future of wales ? think it says for the future of wales? i think it has been, they have gone for a welsh skeleton, a traditional backbone to the team, likes of lee halfpenny at full—back, whereas some people thinkjohnny mcnicol might be

moving in there. however, we have seen a bit more of a traditional selection, with some different players, but george north in the centre looking to get his hands on the ball. equally i think we see quite a mobile pack, so a team that are going to move the ball around and hopefully see the influence of scarlett scoring wide. later in dublin we have ireland against scotland. the two teams had disappointing world cups. yes, both teams are looking to prove themselves. interesting that you see with scotland, they have a few new caps coming into play, but with ireland there are only a few changes of personnel. i think ireland are looking to keep with the same sort of team, johnny sexton at fly—half and a traditional scrum half partnership, ratherthan and a traditional scrum half partnership, rather than trying to shake things up. there shake things up. for scotland it is

a big ask without russell, and you have to acknowledge adam hastings partnering up acknowledge adam hastings partnering up with ali price. the glasgow partnership have been going well together, so maybe this is a new breath of fresh air for scotland. but a tough ask. it certainly is. england are in paris, they will play france on saturday. after the world cup last year, there is certainly a sense for most of these teams that this is very much a new build towards the next world cup in four yea rs. towards the next world cup in four years. thank you very much. looking forward to ireland hosting scotland later as well. there's a battle going on in the women's final of the australian open, garbine muguruza has just taken the first set against american sofia kenin. muguruza broke early on in the set and then went a—2 up. but kenin fought back in her debut grand slam final to take the next two games. but muguruza has just taken the opening set 6—a. england's women beat

world t20 champions australia in a super over to register their first win of the tri—series. captain heather knight made 78 as england scored 156—a and then hit two boundaries to win the super over. wayne rooney scored from a phenomenalfree kick for derby county in the championship last night to help them to a a—o win over stoke. the former england captain found the top corner from 20 yards out to beat the keeper for derby's third goal and rooney's first at pride park. derby are now up to 13th in the table, while stoke remain 20th. what a great strike? he has still got it. it is going to be a great afternoon. how are you when it comes to camping? oh, no. your women after my own heart. if there is to plug in my head

straighteners, no. —— hair straighteners. there is a great piece coming up, we are talking about climate activists, researchers, who are camping in the arctic or was it the antarctic, either way, the tents are up, and it was a great insight about looking into climate change. we will bring you that in a moment. firstly we will look at the newspapers, politics professor tim bale is with us. you picked out some inspirational individuals for us to have a look at. the story in the times is about

british gretas, for young british women. it is something thatis young british women. it is something that is being spoken about a lot, that is being spoken about a lot, that the younger generation are almost taking ownership for this. that the younger generation are almost taking ownership for thism particular, speaking to politicians without the filter that most adults put on it. in your line of work, in the universities and whatever, do you see changes happening? without a doubt. it is notjust in universities, you'd look at opinion surveys and you see that young people are much more concerned than the older generation about this. young women in science, that is something that has been changing over the years, and i suspect certainly a way to go yet. it will ta ke certainly a way to go yet. it will take a long time before they are coming through, i suspect, as strongly as they could or should be, but in the future we would expect

for more women to be employed in study at universities and stem subjects. talking about the environment, why do we need more beavers? we need more because evidence from exeter university shows building dams can actually prevent flooding and can also a p pa re ntly prevent flooding and can also apparently purify water. they have become the must have accessories for some pretty posh estates around britain, partly because they do good things for the environment and partly because of ecotourism.” thought they would be waterproof, but they are soaking.” thought they would be waterproof, but they are soaking. i think underneath it is waterproof. waterproof animals, they do get wet. when you go swimming, there is water on yourskin, when you go swimming, there is water on your skin, but it doesn't mean you're not waterproof. they

are cute, let's just say that. you're not waterproof. they are cute, let'sjust say that. let's have a look at the double page spread. sleeping patterns. we were saying earlier, i sleep really well. we have a lion, wolf, bear and dolphin. a lion apparently rises before dawn, and his goal driven. the wolf comes alive at night when hunger hits. is that you? not really. a bear is active for the day, but likes to get a lot of shuteye at night. and the dolphin is a light sleeper who thinks over things at night, neurotic and anxious. i am a lion without a doubt. i would say i'm between

a lion and a dolphin. one thing is for sure, slipping matters. this is indicative that the sun is splashing out on this. it is a pull—out. i'm not sure the masks would actually help sleep! which one are you? iam help sleep! which one are you? i am probably nearest the bear, but i don't need eight hours of sleep. they say as you get older you need less sleep. you need a little bit less, that is true. what would you like to do is your last story? why don't we say something about university students, it is about oxford university students being told by their student union to avoid themed parties, for example fox

hunting themed parties, arabian nights. it is on the grounds that universities are trying very hard to get a more diverse student body, and particularly people from working—class backgrounds, who will be put off by that kind of thing. when students are thinking about what university to go to, they will look on social media at the kind of posts they are doing. is it the business of university bosses to tell them? it is not the university bosses, it is the student unions themselves telling entertainment officers to be wary of doing this kind of thing because of the immediate promotes. as the younger sibling, who is often overlooked. are you the youngest sibling? no, i am the oldest. this is about jamie murray, andy murray's younger

brother, who if he wins... is he not the older brother? he is the lesser known brother, put it that way. andy murray has won three grand slams and his brotherjamie has won seven. if he wins another he will have the british record for the greatest number of grand slams won by a british tennis player. he has an amazing track record. all is doubles. yes, he is the oldest, he is one year older. either way, they are both brilliant, we wish him the best. thanks very much for coming in. we told you about the story about activists looking into climate issues. 2019 brought another year of record—breaking temperatures, rising sea levels and melting ice caps. but have you ever wondered how scientists know the true extent of the climate crisis? they have to put up with some

pretty extreme conditions in the name of research. our chief environment correspondent, justin rowlatt, has been for a tour of the most remote campsite on earth. right, so up here we have the massive thwaites glacier. the work these scientists are doing should help us all, giving us a much clearer understanding of how sea level could rise worldwide and that is why we are camping here. this is the residential area, this is where we sleep. these are scott tents, after captain scott. james. how are you? can we see inside? by all means, be my guest. check out his crib. you've got everything you're going to need to be in the tent for a long time. so we've got a light source that also is a heater. we've got a stove... scott himself could have used this. i think he actually used this one. so the idea is that you could get stuck in a tent like this for days and you'd be able to survive for days. we normally have a 20—day food box outside so, if it's a really big blow, you have everything you need to be self—sufficient for a long time.

now, we come to the delicate subject of the antarctic toilet. and you have choices here. you've got the pee stick here or the toilet tent. ok, so what you've got is a big hole in the snow and then this like throne which for some reason — no—one can explain why — is called a johnson box. one more lunch, do you think? yeah. so this is a water treatment plant. the purest water in the world. fresh, glacial water. turn on the furnace. let's get it in. it's pretty basic, we start with a little bit of water to make melting easier and it's fresh antarctic snow, fresh to drink. sausages and rapeseed oil. you get them out in the frying pan and, oh, beautiful. spam. this is tinned cheese. slightly processed, slightly plasticky, melt it out, you get a cheese fondu, you get your biscuits in there — oh, it is perfect. special

antarctic recipe. the best thing about antarctic camping, the tents. the white and blue colour scheme, i think that's really beautiful. and i decorate my own home with that. the friends you make, while you're out here struggling. also the sun dogs, the bright crystals that you get in the air, sparkling everywhere and what it does to the sky and the ground. it'sjust a sense of quietness and peace and it is absolutely beautiful. it is extreme. and very, very beautiful. i'm going to put my microphone on, no one is going to notice. it has actually happened three times. i so you're looking at this report, because this is something you're report, because this is something you' re interested report, because this is something you're interested in. scientists need to stay in

bleak conditions. i almost had a job with them, but i was offered this, and took it. would you consider doing something like that, somewhere like antarctica? i'm not as brave as i was. the work they do is incredible and it is very important as well. we have been talking about things warming up. take a look at this. from llandudno, the daffodils are already out and it is only the start of february. some parts of the uk have not seen frost so far this winter. the likes of the channel islands and orkney. some will remain frost free for a few days yet. another male day—to—day, blustery winds developing across the country. you can see the sunshine in llandudno, most of us will see sunshine but there is some wet weather as well, but here are the temperatures at the moment. higher than they should be in the

afternoon, but in scotland and northern ireland they will drop, with outbreaks of rain. the sun comes out later, a northerly wind moves in and it will feel chillier. that does mean it will turn wetter for some in england and will is. at the moment the southern parts of england and we will break up, but a blustery day, winds touching a0 to 50 mph. they go northerly, so temperatures in the northern half of scotla nd temperatures in the northern half of scotland are dropping rather than rising. if you're heading to cardiff for the opener of the six nations, between wales and italy, we should stay dry and sunny here, very blustery wind, and a few showers can be rolled out, but overall a largely dry story. if you have any plans, this evening, the showers 03:52:58,1000 --> 03:52:59,584 across east anglia will

clear away, with some frost forming. lots of rain to come tonight across england and wales and northern ireland. dry is to start within the far north of sunshine. early rain in the south will clear, the cloud will break up some sunny spells, some splashes of rain, and it will turn wetter over the north and the mainland. we could see some heavy and thundery showers. another male day in the south—east at 1a, but chillier in the north of scotla nd at 1a, but chillier in the north of scotland at 56, which is where we should be. into monday, watching this area of low pressure, the weather front wrapped around it and rain will top and tail the country. we could see some damaging winds of 70 or 80 we could see some damaging winds of 70 or80 mph

we could see some damaging winds of 70 or 80 mph in the western scotland and northern ireland. thank you for being with us this morning. taylor swift has been praised for her "openness" and "honesty" after revealing her struggle to overcome an eating disorder in a new documentary about her life. the film, called ‘taylor swift: miss americana', follows the pop star through a turbulent period of her life as she opens up about her body image, the pressure to please others, and her regret for not opposing president trump in the 2016 election. let's take a look. i tend to get triggered by something, whether it is a picture of me where it looked like my tummy was too big or someone said that i look pregnant or something, that will just look pregnant or something, that willjust trigger me to just starve a little bit, just stop eating. we are joined a little bit, just stop eating. we arejoined now by a a little bit, just stop eating. we are joined now by a journalist, hattie pearson,

and eating disorder survivor grace sinnott. i know the papers have picked up over the last few days, how surprising and important as this that she has spoken up?” surprising and important as this that she has spoken up? i think it isa that she has spoken up? i think it is a really pivotal moment in terms of her career and for her fans as well. i think it is really important that she has spoken out notjust about eating disorders but about politics as well, because so many female artists and musicians generally kind of take a very neutral side, or don't take sides in terms of politics, so for her to show her authentic self, i know authenticity is a huge buzzword, so for her to put her head above the parapet and say i want my fans to know my views. i think are courageous in this really shows and comes through, and i really admire her a lot. you're

with an eating disorder charity, so i can only imagine when someone says this out loud, very publicly, it must have a massive impact. it does, it is really brave and it is amazing to help get across that an eating disorder is a massive thing, it is notjust disorder is a massive thing, it is not just about diet, it disorder is a massive thing, it is notjust about diet, it helps break misconceptions, it is not attention seeking anything, and the fact that taylor swift is a massive celebrity that people look up to, it helps us to see that. i imagine it is something you must come across all the time, people who suffer in silence. and seeing someone like that speaking out, does it embolden people to seek help or talk to someone? if the average girl sees

that taylor swift has an eating disorder, they will see it as a real thing, and if they see that she has looked for help, they will see it is 0k to looked for help, they will see it is ok to seek help. one of the things she spoke about was when she felt the pressure to look a certain way. lose a lot of weight. i think one of the fashion houses were saying it is brilliant to have us model your stuff because you get into the sample size. so you would have been seeing that, people who might have been at risk of having an eating disorder might have seen that, and she is making a move to correct the comments that she had put on social media saying she is fine, just thin. there is an interesting thing where she says she can't even look at pictures like red of herself because —— pictures of herself because

nothing is ever good enough, and women think that. it is notjust women think that. it is notjust women who are under this pressure, i know we are familiar with the pressure they are under come about eating disorders among younger men is becoming... yes, they do suffer from eating disorders too, having to have the perfectly chiselled body and muscles. that is also reflected in male celebrities as well. hattie, do you think the industry, music industry in this case, do you think women in the industry feel more free to be themselves as opposed to fit into some kind of notion of what they are supposed to look and sound like or say?” notion of what they are supposed to look and sound like or say? i think taylor swift is a great role model in terms of that, and her music writing, watching the documentary there are some incredible

moments of her and her producer in the studio, with some light bulb moment where they have created this massive hit right there, so i think she is paving the way showing she is an incredible woman, a strong, independent women who can empower others, and if people are able to kinda follow that and look up to her, i think she is doing the right thing. great to see you this morning. thank you very much. that is it from brea kfast thank you very much. that is it from breakfast this morning. we are back tomorrow at 6am. enjoy the rest of your day.
