6:02 am
when ian paterson was a child in 2017 for carrying out hundreds of cases of unnecessary breast surgery, the trialjudge said he had deliberately prayed on his patients worst fears. working both nhs and private hospitals in the west midlands, he treated thousands of patients. in many cases he would encourage people to undergo surgery more than once, knowing that what he was doing was totally unwarranted. that is something that will never, ever go away. it is notjust the physical scars that will not go away, it is the mental scars as well. they will never go. i think some of the times people will look and say, it is done now stock but it is not for us. the psychological implications has never ended. for the many hundreds if not thousands affected by his malpractice, today's report will be expected to shine a light not just
6:03 am
report will be expected to shine a light notjust on what he did both the nhs and private sector but also on how the system could allow him to get away with it on such a scale and for so long. john maguire, bbc news. more on that story throughout the morning. a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars is to be brought forward by five years. nina's here with the details. we already knew there was going to bea ban we already knew there was going to be a ban on the sale of new natural and diesel cars but we understand today the prime minister will announce it will be brought forward to 2035 and that is partly because we have this target for carbon neutrality of 2050. an there is risk that could be looting because on the road by that date. hybrids are cars that run on a combination of
6:04 am
electric and petrol. they are included. it is ambitious. is it realistic? it is a challenging deadline and the aa has questioned whether the infrastructure and the ca rs whether the infrastructure and the cars will be made by that point. also the car industry has pointed to the fact that two years the government cut subsidies to the people who wanted to get electric ca rs. people who wanted to get electric cars. friends of the earth say they can get forward even more and it is not ambitious enough. you will still be able to drive your petrol cars on the roads but we do not know if you will have tax implemented. we cannot expect the stretch in november we're hosting un nations from across the world on this massive target conference held in glasgow. the premise that was the uk to lead on
6:05 am

6:09 am
something of a frontrunner in this battle to take on donald trump in november's presidential election. but instead of being able to say this person has done well, this person has come second, they have not been able to reveal any results. this is because of technological problems. essentially, we have no results whatsoever. 0n the stages behind me, this one for elizabeth warren, they had hoped to give victory speeches instead they are not able to say how they have done. this is in simple terms a disaster. some in the campaign starting to ask question. as for donald trump, they have called this a sloppy train wreck. this political battle will only become more bitter as a time goes on and democrats have to try and recover from this embarrassment.
6:10 am
iowa is just the first stop in this state— by—state iowa is just the first stop in this state—by—state process in trying select a democratic presidential candidate and in this one they have failed, even if the candidate have not. not the best up for the democratic party. all to do with technology. all that campaigning and money going and they cannot report on it. half of 10—year—olds in the uk owned a smartphone in 2019, according to new research. the media regulator 0fcom says 10 is now "the age of digital independence" and found thatjust over 50% of parents still believe the benefits of children being online outweigh the risks. those are some of the main stories around today. sally is here... are you all right? i am looking at the picture behind you. no wonderjurgen

6:13 am
have some very strong winds and through the day when looking at blustery showers which will ease through the afternoon and also some sunny spells first thing this morning, the wind is still very much a feature. 0vernight the low pressure has been moving eastwards but we also have high—pressure coming in through the west and that will help ease the winds later on. a lot of showers some thundery and also wintry. if you're crossing some of appennine roots, not only is it windy snow but also the risk of ice. —— pennine roots. to give you an idea, we have 41 miles per hourfor example in north—east scotland, 35 in northern ireland, 55 across the pennines. windy. as we go through the course

6:20 am
who perhaps can't afford to go to a premier league game can get to watch the alternate in the fa cup. the ground is full. that money is important. at the manchester city game, pep guardiola didn't come out for his interview for a really long time. it was inside talking to his players. they were telling him to stop tinkering with the team. when pep guardiola came out, he said he had been chatting to his wife. difference of opinion with what was going on in those 45 minutes.“ difference of opinion with what was going on in those 45 minutes. if we talk about ology, if you are walking down a busy street, smartphones, people not looking where they are going. . if we talk about technology. ——if we talk about

6:22 am
in the middle of the night. you can go in and grabbed 15, 20 minutes. they've got all this research, the most was for one hour and they've had nothing but positive feedback. in terms of ship ‘s, air—traffic controllers a re in terms of ship ‘s, air—traffic controllers are only allowed to work for two hours and they've got to have a 30 minute break because if they are tired and they make a mistake, it's catastrophic and what lots of people in the nhs say, they work ina lots of people in the nhs say, they work in a high—pressurejob lots of people in the nhs say, they work in a high—pressure job with huge decisions and they sometimes work the night shift and need to make an important decision. it can make an important decision. it can make it really difficult. it would save money make it really difficult. it would save money long—term. make it really difficult. it would save money long-term. lots of people of got their alarm clocks going off in the next few minutes. beeping signs can make us groggy. the best way to wake up is with birdsong or music but i'm not sure that would wa ke music but i'm not sure that would wake me up. my alarm clock is a
6:23 am
light one. it just wake me up. my alarm clock is a light one. itjust gets lighter and lighter. it wakes everybody up. what about the frog one? i've got three alarms. my wife loves it. not at three a.m.! i've got a question for you. we have a brand—new sofa. the first stain has appeared on the sofa. it's not me. which big started we have sitting here yesterday? let's —— which big star? we have sitting here yesterday? let's -- which big star? let's not get into that. it looks like make up. see you in a minute. thousands of yazidi people, from the singar mountains of northern iraq have suffered years of persecution
6:24 am
by the islamic state group. families have been driven from their homes and many young women were held captive.those who survived have now formed a choir and are performing in the uk as part of a project to preserve their culture and traditions. 0ur media and arts correspondent, david sillito has been to meet them. if you passed them on the streets, you really wouldn't give them a second glance — a group of cheerful and rather glamorous young women doing a bit of sightseeing. but what you don't see are the horrors they have endured. translation: i was nine years old at the time when isis attacked sinjar. i don't know anything about where my father and mother are, nor about my brother or his five children. the choir was only formed a couple of months ago. the women are yazidis, they are from the sinjar mountains of northern iraq, a religious minority that
6:25 am
suffered appalling persecution. many of their songs are their own stories of kidnap, torture and rape at the hands of isis. it is almost impossible to comprehend what some of these women have gone through, and this musical project, well, it's an attempt to save a culture, but it's also therapy. translation: when isis attacked sinjar, they kidnapped me and my brother and my sister. translation: i am a yazidi survivor. i was 14 years old when isis attacked our home. translation: when isis attacked, they kidnapped me and my family. isis soldiers came and chose some girls and took them away.
6:26 am
then they sold me to one of them who was from turkey. and this is the world they grew up in, the small yazidi community. their musical traditions go back thousands of years. nothing is written down, and there are just 16 official musicians left. one reason they are here is to deposit at 0xford's bodleian library a record of this endangered musical culture, before it is too late. the yazidi people have been through a terrible time. there are only 16 left of these people who are allowed to record music. this is about preserving and recording the music around the year, so we are recording the whole year's music and depositing it in the bodleian. but, more than anything, the music is a way to cope with experiences no—one should face. it is a really good thing. i enjoy and ifeel good when i play music with girls
6:27 am
in this group, and i make new friends. really it is good for us. thank you. still to come on breakfast: half of all 10 year olds now own a mobile phone and nina will be looking at the benefits that screens can bring to childrens homework and creativity, and how they can help in critical thinking. we've already had a discussion about it and people getting in touch. the whole debate about what kids have in the home bedrooms. how long should they be allowed on line for. is it age sensitive? we have no phones or
6:28 am
ta blets age sensitive? we have no phones or tablets in the bedroom. we take it away at seven o'clock. how old are your children? 12, ten and nine. do get in touch and let us know what you think. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. we're going to start with some travel news this morning because there are lots of problems on the trains. this is what's causing the problems. a broken rail near new cross. network rail are doing repairs— but that will take most of the morning to finish. so on southeastern, there are no trains to waterloo east or charing cross with services diverting to victoria or cannon street. it also means there are no thameslink trains between dartford and london bridge and a reduced service on the line into london from bedford and luton. and on great northern there are big problems between finsbury park and moorgate because
6:29 am
of a signal failure. we'll take a look at the rest of the travel situation in a moment. meanwhile, soho is now open for business as normal this morning after parts were cordoned off last night following the discovery of a world war ii bomb. police were called out to a building site yesterday and evacuated the area. the bomb was removed last night and all roads reopened. fines for fly—tipping in tower hamlets will more than quadruple after a huge rise in offences. the council has signed off plans to increase the maximum penalty for dumping rubbish from £80 to £400 — the highest fine it can legally impose. it follows a steep rise in fly—tipping offences, costing the council almost seven hundred thousand pounds a year to clean up. time to take a look at the rest of the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there's no service on the district line between turnham green and richmond and on the london 0verground there are also some delays. 0nto the road, and in southwark, blackfriars road remains closed between st george's circus and southwark street for repairs
6:30 am
to a burst water main in mitcham, london road is closed northbound at upper green east for emergency repairs. and on chiswick high road, there are works between kew bridge and the chiswick roundabout. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's feeling a little chillier out there this morning. we're starting the day and low single figures celsius. got further showers around, sunny spells but we will notice the win. —— we've got a few. you will notice the wind gusts, 30-40 few. you will notice the wind gusts, 30—40 miles per hour at a time. a few showers floating through on that chilly north—westerly wind, temperature is getting up to 10 celsius but factor in the wind, it will feel a couple of degrees colder. 0vernight the wind will gradually fall lighter, the sky
6:31 am
clears and the temperature is going to drop down into low single figures one or two spots in the suburbs potentially down to zero so we might see a sparkle or two of frost first thing tomorrow. a bit of mist and fog, probably further north but if you get it, it will take time to lift. tomorrow, more sunshine, a couple of days of more settled weather, feeling a little chillier, especially overnight. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. we'll bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment, but also on breakfast this morning, we follow manchester united winger, danieljames, as he visits a football club in wigan, specially set up to encourage men to talk about their feelings
6:32 am
and mental health. experiencing a dream come true in real—time, that is crazy. british 0scar hopeful, cynthia erivo, is the only black 0scar nominee in the acting categories and tells us about preparing to sing at the ceremony on sunday night. we'll hear more about this year's celebrity challenge for sport relief which involves a 100 mile ice triathalon, across a frozen lake in mongolia. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news: an inquiry into breast surgeon ian paterson, who carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations, is expected to recommend tougher checks on surgeons working in private hospitals. ian paterson exaggerated or invented cancer risks and claimed payments for more expensive procedures. he left many patients disfigured and was jailed for 20 years in 2017. a ban on the sale
6:33 am
of new petrol and diesel cars will be brought forward from 2040 to 2035 in an effort to help the uk reach its carbon emissions target. the aa has described the ban, which has been extended to include hybrids, as "incredibly challenging" and expressed doubts that there will be enough electric vehicles available. the prime minister is expected announce the plans today ahead of the un climate change summit in november. emergency legislation to stop prisoners being released halfway through their sentence could face a legal challenge, the government has been warned. 20—year—old sudesh amman stabbed two people in south london, before being shot dead by police at the weekend — ten days after being released from prison. thejustice secretary robert buckland says he will also review whether current maximum sentences for terrorist offences are sufficient. hong kong has reported its first death from the coronavirus,
6:34 am
which originated in the chinese city of wuhan. it comes as medical staff step up the campaign to seal the border with the mainland. 64 people have died in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of dead in china to 425, and a further 20,000 people in the country have the virus. are you all right? i am still laughing... are we talking about liverpool again? he's checking his watch. they are in a hurry because they are on holidays. they have gone ona winter they are on holidays. they have gone on a winter break, the first team. which is great news because the featureless is crammed.
6:35 am
jurgen klopp said that from the really start. shrewsbury earned the trip to anfield when they came from 2—0 down to draw withjurgen klopp's side two weeks ago, dramatic game, incredible result, but he result, won't be in charge tonight, because the game has fallen during the premier league's first winter break. and he insists he and his first team need to get away. roberto firmino has found some sunshine with his family. and georginio wijnaldum has also posted holiday snaps. the under 23's manager, neil critchley, will be in charge tonight, with his youngsters on the pitch, and full support from klopp. he gives us unbelievable support so ican speak he gives us unbelievable support so i can speak to him whenever i like, when i'm down here. his support the young players unbelievably well, as he has shown so far this season so
6:36 am
his presence, even if not there, his presence is always held by our younger players and by me myself. do you thinkjurgen klopp is not going to be watching the game? he will be texting him. of course he will be texting him. of course he will be texting him. of course he will be there. scotland fly—half finn russell is still paying the price for missing training after a drinking session. he's been left out of the squad for a second week, so he won't be facing england in the calcutta cup at murrayfield on saturday, after he was replaced by adam hastings for the defeat to ireland last weekend. adam hastings was good and good enough to merit being picked again in that number 10 joseph. if finn russell is not starting, yes he can make a big impact on the bench but with the media around and the issues
6:37 am
in the two weeks ago, why disrupt a positive field albeit in defeat from dublin for that? there's a chance manu tuilagi could feature in that match on saturday. he hobbled off early in england's defeat to france on sunday but he's still in the squad with his groin problem being assessed. he had only played one match in six. do you remember the thrill of england's super over victory over new zealand in the cricket world cup final this summer? well they're about to play their first one—day international since then. captain eoin morgan has admitted he did contemplate his future afterwards but, as they head into the first of three 50—overs games against south africa, he says he's happy leading the side for the moment. we have two t20 well —— which we are firmly focused on. a lot of the time history suggests that decision is taken out of your hands. given
6:38 am
individual or team performances. my mind is that on the next t20 if i make it to the 50 world cup i think that would be great. serena williams' coach says something just isn't working, since she returned to tennis after having her first child. williams is just one grand slam title away from equalling margaret court's record of 24, but she was knocked out in the third round of the australian open and patrick mouratoglou told john watson that her performance was very disappointing. she had everything to retire, 23 grand slam titles. 37 years old when she had her baby are becoming a mother but she decided to come back, she decided to make all the efforts, the physical efforts. we have to accept the fact that it is not working since she is back and maybe come back with a different angle, a different strategy and different goals.
6:39 am
different goals, i think that is what is saying. it is a harsh thing to say. he tells it straight, he is well—known that. rory mcilroy will be golf‘s world number one again this week, without playing a shot, thanks to the complicated ranking system, which looks at a two—year period, he'lljump over brooks koepka, to take the top spot for the first time since 2015. let's show you some amazing action from the world of winter sports. it comes from a freeriding event in switzerland where skiiers and snowboarders race on ungroomed snow. i wish i was there... that is basically powder. jumps, tricks, they are doing the racing but not on a prepared slope. the public can see the course but it looks like they have not been able to try out the
6:40 am
cause. i think my breakfast came up watching that. it is a certain type of adrenaline rush. not for me. after two years and numerous delays, the victims of rogue breast surgeon, ian paterson, wil today learn the results of an independent inquiry into his malpractice. his trial in 2017 heard he wildly exaggerated his patients' cancer symptoms, leading to needless operations which left them scarred, both physically and emotionally. hate is a big word but i dislike him. i hate is a big word but i dislike him. lam hate is a big word but i dislike him. i am set for what he has done to me and to my mind. some of the times people will look and say, oh, well, it is done now. but it is not for us. the psychological implication is never ending. you are a doctor, you don't know, your
6:41 am
husband, your family cannot tell you he is telling you an untruth. it is in his hands. it is the families, the partners, the children, the grandchildren. i am sad that so many young women, lots of young women are dead and the young families, young children are without their mother. the things he did, it is unbelievable. he is just the things he did, it is unbelievable. he isjust an evil man. we're joined now by professor derek alderson, president of the royal college of surgeons. thank you for coming on the programme this morning. what are you hoping to this report will say later today? i think there are two really important things. the first is we wa nt to important things. the first is we want to make sure that the standard of performance by which surgeons are judged in the independent sector are exactly the same as those that we have in the nhs and we want to make sure that information can be
6:42 am
transmitted about patients between the two sectors without any difficulties. at the moment, patients information, for instance, if they do have a cancer, it may not be easily transferred into the nhs to the independent sector and of course there are some national audits, particularly looking at things like breast cancer where the independent sector has not been able to put that information into the national audits so we really want to see two major things that we hope will once again provide patients with the reassurance and allow them to develop the trust in surgeons which has been lost by ian paterson's behaviour. that is the issue, trust. you hear about how long it went on for an undetected.
6:43 am
have you come up to your answers as to why that happened? you have to remember it was some years ago and perhaps society and the culture that we live in, things have changed. but really, it is putting measures in place that we would like to see put in place urgently that will prevent this type of behaviour and discourage surgeons from trying to deceive patients stop we think that this is almost a one—off. we do not think there are any great risks to the public, that the rather lots of people out there who behave like this. people who behave in a criminal fashion this. people who behave in a criminalfashion like this. people who behave in a criminal fashion like these are extraordinarily rare so we do not think it is likely that such an individual is still out there again. can you give us an idea of the sorts of efforts made to ensure this does not happen again, or that the right
6:44 am
any individuals like that able to pray on patients. the arrangements each year ended the nhs, the surgeon undergoes a type of assessment called appraisal we looked at the type of operations that person does and what we want to do now is to make sure that process, because in both sectors at the same time, to ensure that a person in the independent sector is doing the same type of operations that they are doing in the nhs and this is something that ian paterson did not do. we also want to make sure that, if there are new techniques, new technologies, new operations that are brought in for patient benefit, that we are absolutely sure as to how this is being done. that is another recommendation we want to see introduced. thank you very much for your time and you like us i'm
6:45 am
sure are interested in the results of that report. later we will be speaking to somebody who was operated on by ian paterson and the impact it has had on her and her life. it is hard to imagine not only the physical scars but also emotionally and mentally how you recover when you put your trust in somebody implicitly. we will talk about that later to her. that here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. i've been looking at this picture thinking it's lovely. it's gorgeous. some this be looking at seem not too dissimilar. what we have today are blustery showers. —— some of us will be. we have strong winds which will ease through the course of the day. if you're stepping out, the low pressure is moving towards the south and east. the strongest wind will be
6:46 am
in the north and east. things will start to ease. we've seen a lot of showers, some of them wintry. some of them have also had some lightning. the first thing this morning, if you're in northern ireland, watch out for ice on untreated surfaces. this morning, these are the kinds of wind gust out and about. some of the higher roots. it's pretty gusty and we have showers around as well. many showers will fade through the afternoon and has high builds in from the west, a lot of the wind will start to ease. cold on this north sea coast. you have a northerly coming your way. temperature—wise, more or less bang on. as we head on through this
6:47 am
evening and overnight, watch how this high—pressure slowly pushes across the uk. that will settle things down. clear skies and that means the temperature will plummet. into the evening and overnight, clear skies. showers across scotland and northern ireland. you're not likely to see frost but elsewhere, we are looking at a widespread frost. the other thing to watch out for is fog forming. the likely areas are around cheshire, through the midlands and towards hampshire. because of the lack of wind, mist and fog patches forming and where we do, it could be slow to clear. some of it may just lift. do, it could be slow to clear. some of it mayjust lift. if that happens, it will suppress the temperature but high—pressure is in charge. also settled by day. for most of us, sunshine, a bit more cloud coming in. here we will see some patchy rain. temperatures
6:48 am
roughly where they should be. moving on through wednesday and into thursday, high—pressure slowly moves towards the near continent. still exerting influence to some of us. first thing in the morning, looking at both thursday and friday at some frost and fog patches. it's the same scenario with a lack of wind, the fog will stick but it will be dry and fine. the same on friday but remember that weather front? that's going to throw in some cloud through the latter part of the day. looking at sunday and it's quite a long way away. at the moment, looking pretty windy. disruptive wins quite possible across the uk but more on the next few days. good to know, people might be making plans. parents are more concerned
6:49 am
about their childrens' online activity than they were five years ago. nina is here. how did you guess that i've got some research? yes this is from a big report by the telecoms regulator 0fcom, which is release every year and paints a very fascinating picture. half of all 10—year—olds now own a mobile and that figure is up from 30% in 2015. erin from gloucester is one of them, we spoke to her and her mum emma. i wanted one because my friends had one. and i didn't want to feel that doubt stop i do tiktok videos, research, watch videos that can help me learn. i had massive reservations andl
6:50 am
me learn. i had massive reservations and i still do about on line safety and i still do about on line safety and what they are accessing on line. there are a lot of benefits. we definitely have rules on using loans. we don't have them in the bedroom, overnight, it's not a free reign to use it whenever she likes. for me, access to the internet when you research school. if you don't know anything, then you can research it. it can also be biking, games and watching videos. she is utterly brilliant, isn't she? what does the research say? they are watching more things on line and less live television. 0nly 17% for example are watching live television. also using a lot more what's up, tiktok, that is up from 8%. have you been on it? it's
6:51 am
amazing. we got some examples. the creativity, the self—deprecation, just the ingenuity. and i love the fa ct just the ingenuity. and i love the fact that it brings in the grandmothers and grandfathers, some of the christmas ones are brilliant. iam of the christmas ones are brilliant. i am evangelical. there are some worrying things. half of 12—15 —year—olds say they've seen something hateful about a particular group on the internet last year at some point and it is quite worrying. it's concerning for parents. almost half of parents are concerned about seeing some thing when it might encourage children to self—harm. there are loads of positive. 85% of parents say the internet helps with homework and say it makes kids learn a new skill. and this is cool — their critical thinking has improved, more kids are recognising when vloggers
6:52 am
are trying to sell them something. so on balance parents think that phone and access to the internet is more of a benefit than a risk but their concern has increased over the past few years. it's brilliant technology. in terms of critical thinking, that is some school encourages. it'sjust of critical thinking, that is some school encourages. it's just making sure it doesn't take over in terms of time. there is so much, as you talk about the creativity, there is so much you can do which might lead to something you do later in life. i used to watch the world tonight when i was used to watch the world tonight when iwasa used to watch the world tonight when i was a kid. and it's not going away. you are a i was a kid. and it's not going away. you are a news i was a kid. and it's not going away. you are a newsjunkie he is a kid? it's a bit embarrassing. that's
6:53 am

6:54 am
petite woman, five foot nothing with very little to work within a time that was dangerous for her but she still made the choice to make the decision, on the 100 miles to freedom and come back again. trouble comes. she helped free hundreds of others and became one of america's greatest heroes yet this is the first time her story has been told in this way. her humanity, the love that she had, the love she was given, the heartbreak she experienced, that was really interesting to me. i wanted her legacy to continue. you're the only person of colour to be nominated in all the categories. how does that deal in 2020? bittersweet. iwanted to serve in his example of how we judge these films and it doesn't look like this every single time.
6:55 am
there are people who also deserve to bea there are people who also deserve to be a part of this and also figure out how this happens. hopefully this you will be a turning point for eve ryo ne you will be a turning point for everyone because we are talking about it out loud and hopefully we can make some changes. do you think it will? i hope so. we can't be doing this and noticing and are not doing this and noticing and are not doing nothing so hopefully we do something about it. this is quite a time for cynthia erivio. she is not just nominated for best actress but also best original song for stand up which she co—wrote and will perform at the oscars ceremony. are you looking forward to the night? yeah, just first oscars with two nominations, it doesn't happen often. in the best thing about being nominated for an oscar? to be
6:56 am
experiencing a dream come true in real—time, that's crazy. the me, you could have told me when i was in drama school. this is like ten years from then. is this a snapshot of your life? yes, sure, but here we are. so much good luck to her. a big night ahead. it will be wonderful to see her performing as well. still to come on breakfast, we'll have the latest on the coronavirus outbreak and hear from a british woman in hospital in wuhan and also a man who has flown back to the uk from china and is now in quarantine. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. we're going to start with some travel news this morning because there are lots
6:57 am
of problems on the trains. this is what's causing the issues. a broken rail near new cross. network rail are doing repairs but that will take most of the morning to finish. so on southeastern, there are no trains to waterloo east or charing cross with services diverting to victoria or cannon street. it also means there are no thameslink trains between dartford and london bridge and a reduced service on the line into london from bedford and luton. fines for fly—tipping in tower hamlets will more than quadruple after a huge rise in offences. the council has signed off plans to increase the maximum penalty for dumping rubbish from £80 to £400. it follows a steep rise in fly—tipping offences, costing the council almost £700,000 a year to clean up. this may marks the 75th anniversary of ve day and the people organising celebrations in london want to hearfrom people who remember that day.
6:58 am
the royal british legion has opened a special ballots for members of what they've described as the second war world generation so they can be at the centre of the ve day events. we have new younger generations for whom these conflicts are almost history and sort of very distant from their memory or understanding and for us, it's so important that they understand and appreciate what this generation did for us and for the lives they have today. time to take a look at the rest of the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are severe delays on the district line and on the london 0verground is part suspended. great northern there are big problems between finsbury park and moorgate because of a signal failure. 0nto the road, and in southwark, blackfriars road remains closed between st george's circus and southwark street for repairs to a burst water main now the weather with kate kinsella.
6:59 am
good morning. it's feeling a little chillier out there this morning. we're starting the day in low single figures celsius. we've got a few showers around first, sunny spells but we will notice the wind. you will notice the wind gusts, 30—40 miles per hourfor a time. one or two showers floating through on that chilly north—westerly wind as well, temperature is getting up to 10 celsius so if we factor in the wind, it will feel a couple of degrees colder. 0vernight, the wind will gradually fall lighter, the sky clears and as a result, the temperature is going to drop down into low single figures but one or two spots in the suburbs potentially down to zero so we might see a sparkle or two of frost first thing tomorrow. we're also at risk of a bit of mist and fog, probably further north but if you get it, it
7:00 am
will take time to lift. tomorrow, more sunshine, a couple of days of more settled weather, feeling a little chillier, especially overnight. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: he told his patients they had cancer when they didn't, and carried out hundreds of botched operations — today an inquiry into surgeon ian paterson is expected to call for changes.
7:01 am
it's notjust the physical scars that won't go away, it's the mental scars as well. they will never go. a ban on the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles is brought forward by five years. critics say the government needs to do more to help consumers hit the 2035 target. manchester united star, danieljames, struggled after his dad died — he tells us how he now wants other men to talk about their feelings. leaving the kids in charge at liverpool — jurgen klopp and his first team are on their holidays, while the under 23s hold the fort against shrewsbury in the fa cup tonight. we have blustery showers and also some sunshine in the focus today but also some strong winds this morning. a fine day but a chilly one.
7:02 am
it's tuesday 4th february. our top story: an independent inquiry into a surgeon, who told many of his patients they had breast cancer when they didn't, and then carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations, will publish its findings today. ian paterson, who worked at nhs and private hospitals in the midlands, exaggerated or invented cancer risks, and left many patients disfigured. he was jailed for twenty years in 2017. breakfast‘s john maguire reports. when ian paterson was jailed in 2017 for carrying out hundreds of cases of unnecessary breast surgery, the trialjudge said he had deliberately prayed on his patients' worst fears. working at both nhs and private hospitals in the west midlands, he treated thousands of patients. in many cases he would encourage people to undergo surgery more than once, knowing that what he was doing was totally unwarranted. that's something that
7:03 am
will never, ever go away. it is notjust the physical scars that won't go away, it's the mental scars as well. they will never go. i think some of the times people will look and think, "oh, well, it's done now," but it isn't for us. the psychological implications is never ending. for the many hundreds if not thousands affected by paterson's malpractice, today's report will be expected to shine a light, notjust on what he did, both the nhs and private sector, both in the nhs and private sector, but als on how the system could allow him to get away with it on such a scale and for so long. john maguire, bbc news. we will be talking to one of the women operated on by ian paterson at around 8:10am. a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars
7:04 am
is to be brought forward by five years. nina's here with the details. this is all to do with the uk target of being carbon neutral by 2050, quite an ambitious target and we knew that the government has set the sale of new diesel and petrol clouds would be banned by 2040 but we expect the prime minister to bring that forward by five years to 2035 because critics have said that by 2050 they could still be polluting clouds on the road. we previously thought hybrid clouds, a combination of electric and petrol, were exempt later on we expect they will be included. it is quite ambitious. realistic though? it is a challenging deadline. the aa have askedif challenging deadline. the aa have asked if there is enough infrastructure, also be enough places to build the clouds, enough
7:05 am
charges for the batteries being made, and criticism for the government reducing subsidies for people wanting to buy electric clouds back into thousand 18. friends of the earth say it is not soon friends of the earth say it is not soon enough and should bring the target forward even more. november we will be hosting leaders from all across the world, talking about the refined carbon neutrality target so the prime minister we know wants to lead the way but it is how realistic they. thank you. the government has been warned that its plans to increase sentences for convicted terrorists could face a legal challenge. ministers want to introduce emergency legislation to stop prisoners being released halfway through their sentence. it comes after an attack in streatham in which two people were stabbed. let's speak to our political correspondent iain watson from westminster. we were talking yesterday about these possible changes and now they
7:06 am
could face legal challenge? the government introduced emergency legislation to deal with the situation we saw streatham in, where sudesh amman was released and allowed to take people on the street. what they are saying is prisoners will not be automatically released halfway through the sentence. they have to go through two—thirds of the sentence and in addition to that the parole board would have to decide if it is safe to let them out but the former independent reviewer of counterterrorism legislation and a very distinguished lawyer told the bbc that he thought that would be a challenge because it would be applying the law retrospectively another words changing the sentencing of people already sentence. dominic grieve has also said something similar. it is possible it could be challenged legally and go all the way to the supreme court. thank you very much.
7:07 am
hong kong has reported its first death from the coronavirus, which originated in the chinese city of wuhan. it comes as medical staff step up the campaign to seal the border with the mainland. 64 people have died in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of dead in china to 425 and a further 20,000 people in the country have the virus. the father of a man found dead in michael barrymore's swimming pool says he believes he knows more than he has revealed. terry lubbock has called for the tv presenter to be "completely eliminated" from the inquiry as police launch an appeal for more information. his 31—year—old son, stuart lubbock, was found dead at mr barrymore's home in essex in 2001. the entertainer was arrested in 2007 but never charged with any offence. he denies any wrongdoing. the brother of the manchester arena bomber will go on trial at the old bailey in london. hashem abedi is charged with 22 counts of murder,
7:08 am
and also with attempted murder and conspiracy to cause explosions. salman abedi detonated a bomb in the entrance of the arena at the end of an ariana grande concert in 2017. we have been talking about this this morning and thank you for getting in touch with us. half of 10—year—olds own a phone and the media regulator 0fcom now says ten is at the age of digital independence and over 50% of pa rents still digital independence and over 50% of parents still believe the benefits of children being on line outweigh the risks. i know lots of you are getting in touch about that and think that for example, you have strict rules about when and how much time they are allowed? we use technology for doing homework and research. really good for creativity but also we are quite... i think
7:09 am
organised, when those machines are turned off and not having things in the bedroom and using that to govern when you can use them and when you can't. it depends on their age and the rest of it. my children are older than that. i am a big believer that there is a huge amount of creativity they can learn and do on the internet. anyway, do get in touch if you feel like it. it is windy out there and potentially disruptive? good morning everybody. 0n good morning everybody. on sunday we could have disruptive went so do keep tuned to the weather forecast if you have any plans for sunday. we have blustery showers and also some sunny spells today but also still this morning some gusty winds stop
7:10 am
they will ease through the day. if you're driving first thing this morning, watch out for ice in northern ireland, northern england and scotland. they could be a hazard. a lot of showers overnight, some wintry and some have had hail and thunder in them. the wind gusts are still occurring at the moment. like vehicles and bikes, and that in mind. the stash light vehicles. through the afternoon, the wind easing, especially from the west as high—pressure building. in the north sea coastline, it will feel cold. temperatures roughly where they should be at this time of year not particularly high. under the high—pressure, this evening temperatures will fall rapidly and we are looking at widespread frost.
7:11 am
more cloud in the north—west of scotla nd more cloud in the north—west of scotland and northern ireland. fog patches for the midlands down towards hampshire. some will be slow towards hampshire. some will be slow to clear some turning into low cloud suppressing the temperatures. a dry day for many with some sunshine. but she rain across the north—west and again temperatures roughly where they should be. on sunday, 20—year—old convicted terrorist, sudesh amman was shot dead by police in streatham after stabbing two people, and in november, despite being on probation, usman khan killed two people in an attack near london bridge. so will the emergency legislation announced by the government today help to prevent similar attacks? let's speak to rashad ali, a counter terrorism practitioner who was formerly a recruiter for an islamist organisation
7:12 am
and nikita malik, director of the centre on radicalisation and terrorism at the henryjackson society who joins us from new york. so much concern about the fact that this young man had been injail recently released and then went on to perpetrate this attack in streatham. what could have stopped that? i think it is difficult for people to kind of faith in but essentially, that has been hundreds of individuals convicted of islamist inspired terrorist attacks, many of whom have been through programmes and efforts to try to get them to disengage with violence. attempts to deradicalize them and probation. individuals involved in very serious
7:13 am
plot have come out and denounce violence. there are a lot of things we can learn from those cases where, on the whole, lots of individuals to come out and have renounced violence and have had protective measures around them. 0bviously that is not going to work for every individual, just like you're not going to stop every single terrace case or individuals returning back to violence. in terms of the tests, is that from them telling you they do not follow that ideology anymore? that from them telling you they do not follow that ideology anymore ?m is very difficult to have a conversation and this environment about knowing the cognitive behaviour and psychology changing. by behaviour and psychology changing. by saying are you going to do this again, no, 0k, fine. it is more a question of how somebody identifies their moral outlook, the way they think and judge reality, what
7:14 am
motivates them to undertake these actions. the way they feel and behave stop it is a very complicated conversation to have. we're trying to talk about it here. the government has been worn now that it might face a legal battle over plans that people convicted of terrorist offences serve longer in prison. what is your view on prison terms?|j think what is your view on prison terms?” think the government is struggling to ensure that attacks like this do not happen again and unfortunately we have seen, not happen again and unfortunately we have seen, over not happen again and unfortunately we have seen, over the last three months, three attacks of terrorist who are either in prison, or sudesh amman were released from prison. 0ne is to increase prison time. many
7:15 am
individuals were given quite short sentences and we re individuals were given quite short sentences and were then released automatically halfway through that sentence and of course that quite short these sentences in the uk compared to the us where i am now studying the judicial system here and every country should have its own approach but what is unusual about the government announcement of course is a fake that it will apply to current prisoners as well. the stash of the fact. —— the fact. it shows that the government is struggling to grapple with this issue. while i agree that intervention providers do a very good job and there are hundreds of cases of individuals we see who could not commit crimes, we have, unfortunately, in the span of quite a short time, see people commit violent crimes as well as a prison there will be an audit done of the
7:16 am
effectiveness of deradicalize people to ensure people are actually engaging and it is notjust a box ticking exercise on the part of the home office. can i pick you up on that point about the effectiveness. how can you judge i suppose is a difficult question? i think this is a question a lot of government officials will be asking because it's a negative factor, people are successful if they don't commita crime. people are successful if they don't commit a crime. it takes a number of people to illustrate failures. for example, we have engagement programmes. but i've spoken to providers whojust sit programmes. but i've spoken to providers who just sit through the assistance and disengagement and don't actually interact. they sit
7:17 am
quietly through it. it's very difficult to measure. the impact of this. part of the reform from what i understand is we are stressing there should be intervention providers.” wa nt to should be intervention providers.” want to put those points back to you in the studio. it's very hard to come up with simple solutions but what about the issue of longer, tougher sentences? there are two separate things here. the longer sentences don't necessarily mean they are an individual, six years down the line seven years down the line, and no longer inspired by islamist terrorism. that would have stopped the longer sentences. let's ta ke stopped the longer sentences. let's take the individual now. serving the full three years or so, does that mean he would no longer have been inspired by islamist terrorism? the
7:18 am
issueis inspired by islamist terrorism? the issue is separate. it's a separate discussion regarding security and maintaining public detection. that isa maintaining public detection. that is a very valid discussion and it's perfectly fine to say yes to say we do need to increase our sentencing. we have individual that is going to be locked up. how to ensure when they do come out, that they are going to be admitted into society and moved the ideological and drivers. those things are still the same and still need to be done. even for ten years orfive same and still need to be done. even for ten years or five or longer. very interesting to hear your point of view. you can get in touch with us on that story on the website. we are also on social media. manchester united winger, danieljames, says talking about the death of his father
7:19 am
helped him to get through it and is urging other men to do the same. it's a message backed by other high profile figures, including prince harry and england manager gareth southgate, who advocate sport as a way of tackling mental health issues.bbc sports presenter richard askam went along with daniel during a visit to a football club in wigan which brings men together to share their problems. it's like we've gone through the same things. danieljames talking honestly and openly in wigan, a full or club aimed at helping men with her mental health problems. it's a friendly bunch of guys. peter hill set up the club four years ago after his best man and best friend took his best man and best friend took his own life aged just 30. the club has since grown to a dozen teams with about 100 men playing each week and it caught the attention of the manchester united star. danjames
7:20 am
saw a bbc film about peter and the clu b saw a bbc film about peter and the club and was so inspired and touched, he liked and shared it on social media and wanted to get involved. the welsh international has had to face mental challenges of his own. the last conversation... daniel lost his father just his own. the last conversation... daniel lost his fatherjust before moving to manchester united last june. not being able to share it with his dad hit hard. it hit me in the last few months and being with united, it was a massive thing for me and from then on, ijust wanted to make him proud and play for an amazing club, summer i've always wished to play for and for him to look down on me and say i'm proud of you, it always helps stay positive. you always can't, when something like that happens, it's best to speak out. it's helped me so much. it's quite humbling when you hear
7:21 am
some of the stories. it's amazing what peter has done here. a lot of respect but in the intervals and stuff, we speak to each other and share different stories which is fantastic. dan spent about three hours chatting with everyone in hearing stories. some were tough to listen to. callum evans was badly injured ina listen to. callum evans was badly injured in a motorcycle accident four years ago. he nearly died and is found it hard psychologically put it behind him. i always thought, what's the point. but i'm here. that's all the matters. it definitely is. i noticed you were chatting to dan for some time. what was it like to meet him? it was surreal. i think it was quite touched by the story. he said i've done well to come this far and playing football and stuff like
7:22 am
that, so to just keep going. getting the message out there to speak out is huge and i think you can be the brightest person in the room but people never go —— never really know what's going on inside of the ha rd est what's going on inside of the hardest thing is to speak out and i think peter, and mean myself, it's trying to encourage people to speak out, speak to others and don't be afraid to do that peter hill set up the club a few years ago after his best friend took his own life. peter's here to speak with us now. just hearing from so many of the young men, you are changing people's lives. there was the inspiration?m was a negatively tried to turn into a positive way lost my best friend to suicide and it started a stem of suicides in the family. three in three years. at that time, a lot of
7:23 am
people kept saying the same things, there is nothing you could have done and itjust there is nothing you could have done and it just didn't there is nothing you could have done and itjust didn't sit with me but that was the answer, really. it started a memorial cycle which developed into what we have now. started a memorial cycle which developed into what we have nowm seems an amazing place to go to. it's about the football but also about chatting. the football is the least important thing, really. it's the reason we come together and play obviously, playing football is the feelgood endorphins that people get. chatting in between is the substitute or coming back, the guys get pizzo, silly guys after the game, have a drink, a slice, a chat. sometimes it's nothing in particular. people have lost people around them, like parents or others. it's having an amazing impact. how
7:24 am
has it gone down with other teams that you play? you know what sport is like, if people sense of weakness, they tend to go for that. generally we are playing each other each week, and there are friendships we organise outside of that. it's surprising people want to get involved, almost queueing up to play us and people are giving us the message that we've been waiting to do something like this. to get a visit from danieljames, you can see the reaction you had and from eve ryo ne the reaction you had and from everyone else down there, how much ofa everyone else down there, how much of a positive effect has that had? it's massive. the platform you guys haveis it's massive. the platform you guys have is huge and to see someone like daniel, recognising what we do, it's crazy. he not only came and showed his face, he took a real interest in all the guys and some of the guys a big man united fans and just this morning, it was five o'clock in the
7:25 am
morning, it was five o'clock in the morning and getting ready to come here and i was still hearing about it. does the way somebody is feeling affect the way they play? sometimes. people need to bear in mind if they see poor behaviour or somebody react different, that might be an indicator they are struggling with something in partick. wejust ask everybody to really kind of bear that in mind. you may be playing alongside someone with a really tough time. you can probably see that from the way they are playing can learn how they play the game. the idea is you can maybe look after four or five people on your team. it's worth pointing out that was not more the photo shoot. they are there for five more the photo shoot. they are there forfive or ten minutes, do a quick film and leave the daniel hung around for a good number of hours
7:26 am
and spoke to virtually everybody that was there. it was a cold night in wigan, the wind was blowing that he was having none of it. he wanted to meet everybody and find out their stories stop we got a range of reasons why people play. i'm interested in what you say, if you notice somebody is having issues, you grew together and look after them. how do you do that? you have a team—mate in your corner, make them know. when i lost my friends, i could have done with, i felt isolated for the first time in my life and i could have done with a team—mate or a life and i could have done with a team—mate ora group life and i could have done with a team—mate or a group of mates to fall back on. i didn't realise how much i defended ——to pended on them. we asked people not to do anything special, just there. it's amazing how much change that can bring. you quys how much change that can bring. you guys arejoined by how much change that can bring. you
7:27 am
guys are joined by your lover football. what would you say to somebody watching this having the same sort of struggles but doesn't have a sport that get involved in?” think the message from us is always, regarding facing tough times, reach out to somebody, anybody, a friend, family member, a charity or an organisation but look at different ways to get yourself back. another hobby or something like that. if you get in touch with us, we will tell you about it. we have various different sessions. feeling a bit daunted. we have one guy we organised a stadium to a four. he was a long—time athletic fan. he's not come down in the end into the football clu b not come down in the end into the football club but just by not come down in the end into the football club butjust by seeing an original northwest tonight story, would been able to provide him a bit of memory for his family which is hopefully bright and is weak. you're
7:28 am
making a difference. fingers crossed. lovely to meet you. thank you for coming on this morning. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. we're going to start with some travel news this morning because there are lots of problems on the trains. this is what's causing the issues. a broken rail near new cross. network rail are doing repairs but that will take most of the morning to finish. so on southeastern, there are no trains to waterloo east or charing cross with services diverting to victoria or cannon street. it also means there are no thameslink trains between dartford and london bridge and a reduced service on the line into london from bedford and luton. fines for fly—tipping in tower hamlets will more than quadruple after a huge rise
7:29 am
in offences.the council has signed off plans to increase the maximum penalty for dumping rubbish from £80 to £400 the problem costs the council almost £700,000 a year to clean up. this may marks the 75th anniversary of ve day and the people organising celebrations in london want to hear from those who remember that day. the royal british legion want anyone from the second war world generation to get in touch whether you were a child during the war or are a veteran. it's a way to get as many people involved in ve day events as possbile. we have new younger generations for whom these conflicts are almost history and sort of very distant from their memory or understanding and for us, it's so important that they understand and appreciate what this generation did for us and for the lives they have today. time to take a look at the rest of the travel situation
7:30 am
now. 0n the tube, there are severe delays on the district line and on the london 0verground is part suspended. back to the trains, on great northern there are big problems between finsbury park and moorgate because of a signalfailure. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's feeling a little chillier out there this morning. we're starting the day in low single—figures celsius. we've got a few showers around first, sunny spells notice the wind. in the black disc, ou will notice the wind gusts, 30—40 miles per hourfor a time. could see one or two showers floating through on that chilly north—westerly wind as well, temperatures today getting up to 10 celsius although factor in the wind, it is going to feel a couple of degrees colder. 0vernight, the wind will gradually fall lighter, the sky clears as a result, the temperature, it is going to drop down into low single figures but one or two spots in the suburbs
7:31 am
potentially down to zero so we might see a sparkle or two of frost first thing tomorrow morning. we're also at risk of a bit of mist and fog, probably further north but if you do get it, it will take its time to lift. a brighter day tomorrow, more sunshine, a couple of days of more settled weather, feeling a little chillier, especially overnight. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. plenty more on our website at the usual address. bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with louise minchin and dan walker. here's a summary of this morning's main stories from bbc news. an inquiry into a breast surgeon, who carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations and told patients they had cancer when they didn't, is expected to recommend tougher checks on surgeons working in private hospitals. ian paterson exaggerated
7:32 am
or invented cancer risks and claimed payments for more expensive procedures. he left many patients disfigured and was jailed for 20 years in 2017. emergency legislation to stop prisoners being released halfway through their sentence could face a legal challenge, the government has been warned. 20—year—old sudesh amman stabbed two people in south london, before being shot dead by police at the weekend — ten days after being released from prison. thejustice secretary robert buckland says he will also review whether current maximum sentences for terrorist offences are sufficient. the us democratic party has begun the process of selecting a candidate to challenge donald trump in the presidential election, in november. the first event that will help decide which of the 11 candidates will win the nomination is taking place in the midwest state of iowa. "inconsistencies in reporting" have been blamed for a long delay in publishing the results.
7:33 am
we might not get them at all. sales of new diesel, petrol and hybrid cars could be banned in the uk as early as 2035 to help the uk reach zero net carbon emissions in the next 20 years. the prime minister is expected to make the announcement ahead of the un climate change summit which will take place in glasgow later this year. we're joined now by motoring journalist and former top gear presenter, steve berry. good morning. gosh, what do you make of this? is it possible? of course it is possible. i do not understand why. .. it is possible. i do not understand why... think how quickly the car replace the horse and cart. henry ford went from building a vehicle in his shed to knocking out a model c ford every five minutes in 20 years. why can't we do it now? internal combustion is a 19th century technology. if you brought those
7:34 am
ponies of motoring forward to now, they would be amazed we are still using internal combustion to move around. it is time for a change. according to my quick search of the internet, 40 million cars in the uk... those other ones registered, there are many lurking in sheds. loads of cars to turn around. millions of cars. but europe, japan, not so much america, but others will move forward quickly. we are a relatively small nation and it is easierfor us to put relatively small nation and it is easier for us to put an electrical charging network in place. what is going to be difficult for the government is to work out how they are going to recruit the revenue from electric cars that they get now from electric cars that they get now from internal combustion cars because it is really easy to collect tax on petrol and diesel. you
7:35 am
obviously think it should be done but talk to us about the practicalities. will there be places to plug them in? will these guys be available in that amount of time?m is up to the carmakers to respond. they have dragged their heels for... into the early days of the auto industry, there was an enormous amount of innovation and them there was a stagnation because it suited everyone. they knew what they were doing, it was easy to collect the revenue on the fuels cars were burning. now there are companies like tesla, all kinds of new companies springing up to build electric cars and the big water companies that i think they wanted is competition. —— car companies. they say they will change soon, now there is a date, 2035, crack on. the
7:36 am
point you make about paying tax, collecting it at the pump i suppose government and industry will have to get behind it, monetising that side of it. it is going to be pay as you drive, you will get a statement from the government say you drive this many miles this month you pay so much and we're not going to like it because brother will be watching you. what happens to all the cars that we are driving now? they will go abroad, in parts of the world where it is not practical to change now. the most environmentally damaging thing a car can do is to be created in the first place, the longer he is at the greener it is. pay as you go, does it prize people
7:37 am
out? it isjust a different way of collecting the tax. so many questions but thank you very much for your thoughts. let us know what you think about that. if you are going to make a change, which we need to make environmentally, then it is going to involve a complete change to the way we do things. there is a date that. thank you for all your messages, also about those about children and their phones. the fa cup without the liverpool first team. and without that boss but what an incredible chance they have stop they have been practising penalties, shrewsbury town. i was a good sign. a lwa ys always a good sign. the first theme
7:38 am
is away on a winter break. the liverpool bench will look very different this evening, for their fa cup replay against shrewsbury town. shrewsbury earned the trip to anfield when they came from 2—0 down to draw withjurgen klopp's side two weeks ago, dramatic game, incredible but he result, won't be in charge tonight, because the game has fallen during the premier league's first winter break. and he insists he and his first team need to get away. roberto firmino has found some sunshine with his family. and georginio wijnaldum has also posted holiday snaps. the under 23's manager, neil critchley, will be in charge tonight, with his youngsters on the pitch, and full support from klopp. scotland fly—half finn russell is still paying the price for missing training after a drinking session.
7:39 am
he's been left out of their six nations squad for a second week, so he won't be facing england in the calcutta cup at murrayfield on saturday, after missing the defeat to ireland last weekend. serena williams' coach says something just isn't working, since she returned to tennis after having her first child. williams is one grand slam title away from equalling margaret court's record of 24, but she was knocked out in the third round of the australian open and she's lost four grand slam finals in the last two seasons. patrick mouratoglou told john watson it's been disappointing. we have to understand what is going on and why she is not able to win one. a big difference between reaching a final and winning one. we have to accept the fact it is not working since she is back and maybe come back with a different angle and
7:40 am
a different strategy and different goals so she can make it. isn't that interesting him saying she might have to come back with different goals. she has specific goal, and thatis goals. she has specific goal, and that is beating margaret court's record and i am not sure she wants a change of that goal. she has had a difficult time, she has been injured and struggled to recover. she is 37... she was 37 when she had a baby. patrick mouratoglou saying it is going to be difficult but very, very honest. "a marathon, not a sprint." that's how the health secretary, matt hancock, described efforts to tackle coronavirus, which has now killed more than 400 people. the virus, which causes respiratory problems, has infected thousands of others worldwide, including two in the uk.
7:41 am
it isa it is a difficult time for our next guest. how are you feeling? good morning. iam guest. how are you feeling? good morning. i am feeling a bit short of breath and coughing a lot. i do not have a fever, which is a good sign but my father is more serious than i ham and he got tested yesterday and got his results back yesterday. —— than i am. it was positive so he was transferred to a proper quarantine hospital yesterday afternoon. how long will you have to spend anything quarantine hospital?” long will you have to spend anything quarantine hospital? i am not sure, they are treating him right now. his oxygen they are treating him right now. his oxyg e n level they are treating him right now. his oxygen level is dropping which means he is deteriorating. i am a bit worried and it is not easy to reach
7:42 am
out to those doctors because they are infull out to those doctors because they are in full suits and do not take any phone calls. the only information i am getting is through my calls with my dad and he is finding it hard to speak so not very sure when they would let him out or when he would be cured or if he can be cured. i am sure it is difficult for you and the rest of your family. you say you are... explained the way you're feeling at the moment. it it largely breathing issues your father has at the moment? yes, he has breathing issues and his oxygen level is below normal which is very wiring and for now my oxygen level is ok but i still feel like hard to
7:43 am
breath and i cough a lot. when will you find out, you said your dad was tested and found out the results 24 hours later. we'll take a similar time for you? i hope so but so far i have not heard anything from the nurses or doctors. when i asked them, they are not sure, they are waiting as well. your father is one of those 17,000 confirmed cases of coronavirus in china and more added to that number all the time. thousands of other people and families in the same situation you find yourself in. i am sure there are... can you give us an idea of what is happening out on the street in china at the moment because you are in wuhan, yourfather is in quarantine, are you seeing other
7:44 am
people or is it largely happening on telephones? well, i am quarantine in a theory but before i was admitted into this hospital i was allowed to walk on the street, well, riding on the street and the street is mostly empty and there aren't many cars on the street and the right many ambulances going around. everyone on the street is wearing masks so people are taking this seriously. most people are just staying at home, and do not dare to go out. our city is basically quite empty. can you tell us about the medication you are on and maybe your father is on? is it freely available? the hospital prescribed us with some antibiotics
7:45 am
and antivirus medication and we also found connections ourselves to get some medication that is said to be working to this virus but so far we do not have any confirmed information about which kind of medication will work. we are just trying everything. you're speaking to us live from wu had but you live in london, have you thought about coming home? what would happen with quarantine and whether of course this depends on whether you have coronavirus? i am sure you are thinking about all these things at the moment. i have thought about going back to london a lot now i am not hopeful because we don't even have any public transportation on the street, not to mention when they would let
7:46 am
people fly out of wood hand. now we don't get to go inside were hand. we hope you get good news for your father and yourself. currently in quarantine, we are talking to another person in wood hand. this is where you've come from? it is very worrying. friends and family there. we are concerned about how they are doing. you're on this flight which arrived in the early hours of monday morning. what was it like getting onto that flight? it's very
7:47 am
stressful because we have a young child, very worried about taking him into a place where lots of people possibly have the virus. are you relieved to be back here? definitely because as soon relieved to be back here? definitely because as soon as we relieved to be back here? definitely because as soon as we got here, seeing the nhs staff, they made us co mforta ble. seeing the nhs staff, they made us comfortable. we very relieved. are they testing you, do you know how they testing you, do you know how the next few days are going to happen? we're going to get tested. at the moment, we are isolated from anyone else. it's an apartment area. we are not supposed to leave that. i haven't had a chance to look around or see how things are going. are you able to see the other people who
7:48 am
arrived before you? that's right. the other people there are sort of allowed to mingle with each other but us new arrivals, we don't have the freedom to do that. tells what you are hearing from friends and relatives who are still in wood hand. at the moment, why wife's pa rents a re hand. at the moment, why wife's parents are still there. that i go out unless they have to buy something. there are delivery services but they're not used to those delivery service. they tend to go out and buy things. they don't go out much, they stayed home most of the time. andrew, thank you very much. arrow park, where he is currently in quarantine. here's carol with a look
7:49 am
at this morning's weather. it's pretty mastery out there. yes it is this morning. quite strong gusts of wind. for some of us, beautiful sunrises. as you can see from this weather watchers picture. also in london, blue skies coming our way. this is the picture from lower cla pton our way. this is the picture from lower clapton but generally the forecast is blustery, showers and sunny spells. through the day, showers ease but it will be windy for a time. this afternoon we see the wind easing. 0vernight, strong winds as low pressure moves down the north sea. high—pressure building in from the south—west and it will start to alleviate the situation. also a lot of showers. some hail and under and light as well. the first thing this morning, a bit of ice across the roads. what you can also see here in the black circles other
7:50 am
gusts of wind this morning, still quite strong. do bear that in mind. through the morning, you can see how we lose a lot of the showers. it dries up. hazy sunshine in the north. more cloud across parts of england and wales, and temperature—wise, spot—on. the temperature—wise, spot—on. the temperature will be tempered by the wind, particularly down the north sea coastline. with this evening and overnight, the high—pressure slowly builds across the uk. it settles things down. the wind will drop away quickly but so will the temperature. a cold night to come. through this evening, the wind eases. also more clear spells away from the north—west of scotland. here there will be enough cloud and showers to keep the temperatures up. especially
7:51 am
in rural areas. there is some fog forming. the most likely areas of fog, through cheshire in the midlands and through hampshire. because of the lack of wind and we will have seen moisture from the showers, we could almost see mist and fog forming. tomorrow we do have the mist and fog, some of that hanging around for much of the day and if that happens where you are, it will suppress the temperature that there will be a lot of dry weather around tomorrow, sunny spells and showers across the north and west with highs between seven and west with highs between seven and nine degrees. pa rents a re parents are more concerned about on line activity than they were five yea rs line activity than they were five years ago. nina is here. this is a big report that is out by 0fcom who
7:52 am
look help young people use media. half of all 10—year—olds own a mobile. that figure is up from 30% five years ago. some worrying things for kids and parents. after 12—15 —year—olds say seen something hateful about a certain group on line which is worrying. and really concerning the parents because almost half of parents of 5—15 —year—olds think they've seen some sort of content that would encourage them to self—harm. lots of positives in there as well which parents will recognise. 85 parents say the internet helps with homework and learning new skills. we were talking earlier about how you get that balance right. rachel is in with her two boys, henry and george. henry has bought his tablet and george, you have your first mobile has bought his tablet and george, you have yourfirst mobile phone. why did you want one? they're just
7:53 am
soi why did you want one? they're just so i can connect family and friends and connect with mum if i'm going out. makes you feel safer. do you go on different sites? we go on different sites if we get a bit bored. rachel, how do you manage george's use of the phone? are there strict rules? we are quite strict unfortunately. the rule is you get a phone for your 11th but they so to hear other kids have it at 10.5 means i might be in trouble but for us, having access to the internet with the phone, it's a safety issue. george can walk to the park by himself and occasionally stain house by for short periods but he knows he can by for short periods but he knows he ca n co nta ct by for short periods but he knows he can contact us. they don't know how to use a landline. they know how to use the mobile in the pocket. george's dyslexics though there is always an on line dictionary or
7:54 am
thesaurus. henry, you use your ipad on researching how to do drawing. both play games. henry, talk is through the game you enjoy.” both play games. henry, talk is through the game you enjoy. i enjoy playing games like mine craft because you can go in and survive and you can go and be creative and build rings which are really cool. 0ne build rings which are really cool. one of the things i'm concerned, and understand of course there are issues. but you are being creative, you are building things. if you couldn't do that, how would you feel? i would feel a bit sad because i would be quite bored all the time. some of the comments coming in. ryan, teacher, says don't need your phone doing homework. as a teacher of year 6 we encounter problems with children misusing social media. we encourage books or laptops for
7:55 am
research. there is no social media on his phone. they don't have that. you can message people but neither have access to social media. what did you say when asked you about tiktok? i don't have tiktok because it's very complicated. it's do you like tiktok and all the dance routines? i said but i don't create videos because it's hard and because i don't want to reveal where i may live. that's very clever and that's really important, you are around all this and you are conscious about that as well. they learn a lot in school about internet safety these days and there was one occasion where henry was playing a game on line and came up to me and said someone line and came up to me and said someone is requesting my friendship
7:56 am
andi someone is requesting my friendship and i don't know it is. see you locked them and you are able to make sure you are safe. nina was saying being aware of what you are watching the messages that are in there, advertising. do you think henry and george and other kids of their rage you know, is it because they are educated about that, they can see through when they are watching youtube videos? kids are always going to be taken in by things and it's our responsibility as parents, keep reminding them. certainly you believed a lot of advertising and just because it says it, doesn't mean it's true. you to sound very sensible. it's been brilliant. we'll come back in about half—an—hour. get in touch and let us know how you strike that talents. lots of people —— strike that balance. 0ur children, none of them had phones in
7:57 am
the rooms at night. that's what helen says. it's important people should be able to contact someone in an emergency but the amount children spend on devices is damaging, adults as well. angela says under no circumstances should we be introducing 5g. if you want to send us positive messages, please do. good morning from bbc london, i'm tarah welsh. we're going to start with some travel news this morning because there are lots of problems on the trains. a broken rail near new cross is causing disruption. network rail are doing repairs but that will take most of the morning to finish. so on southeastern, there are no trains to waterloo east or charing cross.
7:58 am
it also means there are cancelled thameslink trains. updates on our twitter page. fines for fly—tipping in tower hamlets will more than quadruple after a huge rise in offences.the council has signed off plans to increase the maximum penalty for dumping rubbish from £80 to £400 the problem costs the council almost £700,000 a year to clean up. this may marks the 75th anniversary of ve day and the people organising celebrations in london want to hear from those who remember that day. the royal british legion want anyone from the second war world generation to get in touch whether you were a child during the war or are a veteran. it's a way to get as many people involved in ve day events as possbile. we have new younger generations for whom these conflicts are almost history and sort of very distant from their memory or understanding and for us, it's so important that they understand and appreciate what this generation did for us and for the lives that they have today.
7:59 am
time to take a look at the rest of the travel situation now. 0n the tube, there are severe delays on the district line and on the london 0verground is part suspended. back to the trains, on great northern there are big delays between finsbury park and moorgate. now the weather with kate kinsella. good morning. it's feeling a little chillier out there this morning. we're starting the day in low single—figures celsius. we've got a few showers around first, sunny spells but we'll notice the wind. in the black disc, ou will notice the wind gusts, 30—40 miles per hourfor a time. could see one or two showers floating through on that chilly north—westerly wind as well, temperatures today getting up to 10 celsius although factor in the wind, it is going to feel a couple of degrees colder. 0vernight, the wind will gradually fall lighter, the sky clears and, as a result, the temperature, it is going to drop down into low
8:00 am
single figures but one or two spots in the suburbs potentially down to 0 so we might see a sparkle or two of frost first thing tomorrow morning. we're also at risk of a bit of mist and fog, probably further north but if you do get it, it will take its time to lift. a brighter day tomorrow, more sunshine, a couple of days of more settled weather, feeling a little chillier, especially overnight. i'm back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. vanessa feltz has more on tehos etravel problems. plenty more on our website at the usual address. now though it's back to dan and louise. good morning, welcome to breakfast with dan walker and louise minchin. 0ur headlines today: he told his patients they had cancer when they didn't and carried out
8:01 am
hundreds of botched operations — today an inquiry into surgeon ian paterson is expected to call for changes. it's notjust the physical scars that won't go away, it's the mental scars as well. they will never go. a ban on the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid vehicles is brought forward by five years. critics say the government needs to do more to help consumers hit the 2035 target. what a chance for shrewsbury tonight in the fa cup. they're playing a young liverpool side for a place in the next round. jurgen klopp and the first team players are on a break. a 100—mile trek across a frozen lake in mongolia — we'll reveal which celebrity has signed up for one of sport relief‘s toughest challenges yet. it isa it is a cold start, the risk of ice
8:02 am
and untreated surfaces. lester michelle is in strong winds reading through the day. i will have all the details in about 12 minutes. an inquiry into a breast surgeon, who carried out hundreds of unnecessary operations and told some patients they had cancer when they didn't, is expected to recommend tougher checks on surgeons working in private hospitals. ian paterson exaggerated or invented cancer risks and claimed payments for more expensive procedures. he left many patients disfigured and was jailed for 20 years in 2017. i think some of the times people would look and think, it is done now, but it is not for us. the psychological implication is never—ending. earlier the president of the royal college of surgeons told us what needs to happen to avoid cases like this in the future. at the moment, patients'
8:03 am
information, for instance if they do have a cancer, may not be easily transferred in the nhs from the independent sector and, of course, there are some national audits, particularly things looking at important subjects like breast cancer, when the independent sector has not been able to put that information into the national audits, so we really want to see two major things that we hope will once again provide patients with the reassurance they need and allow them to develop the trust and surgeons which has been lost by paterson's behaviour. on breakfast, we will speak to one of the people he operated on in a few minutes, and one of the lead solicitors. it is a huge report coming out later and i'm sure we will be covering that across the bbc. a ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel cars is to be brought
8:04 am
forward by five years. nina's here with the details. 2035 seems a long way away, but this is really big news. this is all to do with the government carbon neutral target for 2050, it is pretty ambitious. so, we knew the government had said the sale of new petrol and diesel cars would be banned from 2040 but today we expect the prime minister to announce now that's going to be brought forward to 2035. and that's partly because critics had said that later date risked having old polluting cars on the road in 2050 — the date by which there's a target for the uk to be carbon neutral. interestingly, we previously thought the ban was just petrol and diesel cars — but now it's being extended to hybrids too, which are run by petrol and electric. it sounds really ambitious, we have been talking about it during the programme, is it realistic? it's a challenging deadline — the aa has questioned whether there'll be enough eletric vehicles available. will there be enough electric batteries and charging points? the
8:05 am
current history has said the government was too quick to cut subsidies. friends of the earth have said it's not soon enough. but we can expect carbon neutrality to play a massive part in political discourse this year. that will be alongside brexit. un leaders will be meeting in glasgow in november and the whole world will be revising their carbon targets, the prime minister very much want britain to be leading from the front. if you moment to we had a journalist here talking about a system in place at the moment which makes it hard to make that change in terms of getting tax from petrol and diesel cars is very easy, but it involves governmental and industry change, he says it is possible and infrastructure needs to be invested in? we have had loads of e-mails from viewers saying they see an electric car to charging point and there is a queue behind them, so it is everything being in place, which
8:06 am
is everything being in place, which isa is everything being in place, which is a real challenge. thank you. the government has been warned that its plans to increase sentences for convicted terrorists could face a legal challenge. ministers want to introduce emergency legislation to stop prisoners being released halfway through their sentence. it comes after an attack in streatham in which two people were stabbed. let's speak to our political correspondent iain watson from westminster. the government has been quite clear that they want to make changes, but they may face a legal battle? they are promising this emergency legislation, the question is whether that would be effective. i am told it could be brought forward as soon as this week. the trouble for the government is they want to make sure terrorist prisoners are not released automatically halfway through their sentence, it should be two thirds and not automatic. the parole board would have to assess the risk. it is fine to legislate for anyone he was
8:07 am
arrested and convicted in future, but effectively they are changing the sentencing of people who have already been sentenced to currently in prison, legal experts suggest that be problematic. lord carlile, the former independent review of counterterrorism legislation, said to the bbc he thought this would end up to the bbc he thought this would end up in to the bbc he thought this would end upina to the bbc he thought this would end up in a legal challenge, former attorney general dominic grieve suggested much the same. although they can legislate and signal that they can legislate and signal that they no longer want to see people let out of prison early, the question is whether they will be able to do that or whether opponents will take it all the way to the supreme court. thank you very much. hong kong has reported its first death from the coronavirus, which originated in the chinese city of wuhan. it comes as medical staff step up the campaign to seal the border with the mainland. 64 people have died in the past 24 hours, bringing the total number of dead in china to 425 and a further 20,000 people in the country have the virus.

the father of a man found dead in michael barrymore's swimming pool says he believes the tv presenter knows more than he has revealed. terry lubbock has called for the entertainer to be completely eliminated from the inquiry as police launch an appeal for more information. his 31—year—old son stuart lubbock was found dead at mr barrymore's home in essex in 2001. he was arrested in 2007 but never charged with any offence and denies any wrongdoing. the brother of the manchester arena bomber will go on trial at the old bailey in london. hashem abedi is charged with 22 counts of murder, and also with attempted murder and conspiracy to cause explosions. salman abedi detonated a bomb in the entrance of the arena at the end of an ariana grande concert in 2017. the first votes in the contest to choose a democratic candidate to fight november's us presidential

election have been marred by confusion and delays. the full results of the iowa caucuses held last night have still not been published after reports of inconsistencies in the initial count. 0ur north america correspondent chris buckler is in des moines i know you have been up very late and waiting for these results. this isa and waiting for these results. this is a hugely significant stop, iowa, because it starts the build—up for the next humans, and it is a com plete the next humans, and it is a complete mess? this was supposed to bea complete mess? this was supposed to be a big night for the democrats and it has turned into an incredibly embarrassing evening. this is the first of the state—by—state stops on which they battle it out to try to find a candidate to challenge donald trump in november 2020. they have not been able to release any results whatsoever. there are suggestions from bernie sanders that he has done pretty well, they say internal
8:10 am
polling suggests he has been in pole position, but we will not know that for sometime, because it will take hours to gather the results by hand and go through a paper trail to work out who has come out on top in this vote that takes place. it is pretty complicated, there is a first and second round, but they try to make it easy by developing an app in which people could put in the results and send them to a central body, but technologically that seems to has failed and the app has not worked properly, and now they will have to do it in the old—fashioned way. we have a statement from donald trump as my campaign team image they said democrats are stewing in a caucus mess of their own creation with the sloppier train wreck in history. you can imagine the democrats will talk about this for some time to come, and this is a mess they need to clear up.

extraordinary. here's carol with a look at this morning's weather. it is quite blustery? blustery showers to start with, fading through the day, but sunny spells as well. the wind is still a feature, gusts pop up in the black circles and you can see the extent of ghosts we expect across many areas first thing this morning. through the course of the day we will find the winds will ease, particularly through the course of the afternoon. the showers will fade, you might find one or two rogue one is across north—west scotland, and there will be sunny skies. we are looking at some sunshine. temperatures ranging from six in the north to turn in the south. it will be tempered by the wind, the temperature, especially down the north sea coastline. the high pressure building from the west will very much be with us, we see skies clearfor
8:12 am
will very much be with us, we see skies clear for many and the temperature will drop. cold enough for widespread frost, particularly in ruralareas, for widespread frost, particularly in rural areas, but not along the coast or the hills. tonight we could see fog patches former rowan cheshire, the midlands and hampshire, some of that could take its time to clear through the course of the morning, some lifting into low cloud. if that happens where you buy it could suppress the temperature. tomorrow will be dry for most, fine, variable cloud, showers persist in the north and west of scotland. temperatures more or less ban on where they should be, between seven and nine degrees. lets go back to our main story. these are some of the hundreds of women and men betrayed
8:13 am
by their surgeon. ian paterson told most of them they had cancer. many of them did not. but he operated on them anyway, and on those that did have cancer, he carried out an untested procedure that didn't work. one woman said he played god with her body. ian paterson, who worked mainly at private hospitals in the midlands, is now serving a 20 year sentence for 17 counts of wounding with intent. in 2017, it was announced 750 of them would receive compensation of £37 million. and today an independent inquiry into what he did is expected to call for changes in the way surgeons are monitored. those he operated on say something like this must never happen again. "hate" is a big word but i dislike him. i'm sad for what he has done to me, i'm sad for what he's done to my mind. i think, some of the times, people will look and think, "oh, well, it is done now." but it isn't for us. the psychological
8:14 am
implication is never ending. you are not a doctor, you don't know, your husband and family can't tell you that he is not telling you the truth. you're just in his hands. it is notjust the people who've been operated on that have suffered, it's the families, it's the partners that have been left, the children, the grandchildren. the things he did, it is unbelievable. i think he isjust an evil man. absolutely devastating to hear from them. let's hear from absolutely devastating to hear from them. let's hearfrom one of the people he was operated on by mr paterson, and also a lead solicitor on the case. i know this has had a big impact on your life, when did this first start? it first started in 2006, when i had a small bleed from my right breast and i was referred to mr paterson under the nhs. he told me that i needed an
8:15 am
operation urgently as i had cancer in both breasts and he needed to remove the milk ducts from both of them. that is how we decided to go privately. he fitted us in within two days. just take us through what happened, you had the operation, you thought you had cancer? he told me i had cancer in both breasts and i needed the milk ducts removed. and what was the reality? when i was recalled in 2014, the doctor told me he had looked at will my records and x—rays and i had never had cancer at
8:16 am
all, both operations were totally unnecessary. it is notjust the physicality of going through the operations, how has it affected you psychologically? it is a nightmare. you lose all trust in the medical profession. at the moment i am waiting to undergo another procedure but the consultant i amanda, he knows about my predicament with paterson and understands. we are looking at other treatment first before i go down the route of another operation. —— but the co nsulta nt another operation. —— but the consultant i and under. i need the clarification first. leslie is not by any means on her own here, give us an idea of the scale of what happened? lesley is not on her own
8:17 am
at all. they're up to 1000 men and women who have had unnecessary operations, people who have had breast cancer were subjected to incorrect surgery leading to recurrence of cancer, sometimes secondary spread, and now we know the coroner is looking into deaths that have occurred, potentially this will continue and potentially if the coroner concludes evidence of unlawful killing by could be further charges brought against mr paterson. i know you have worked with many of the people he operated on and we have heard from leslie how it affected her, can you tell us how others have been affected? he was a very manipulative man, he played on the vulnerability of the patients and abused the trust. it is the most evil form of abuse, and abused the trust. it is the most evilform of abuse, patients, by virtue of your title, you are vulnerable and he took full
8:18 am
advantage of that. the management turned a blind eye both in the nhs and the private sector and that desperately needs to be addressed so management are liable and responsible for the failings of surgeons, whether in the nhs or practising in the private sector. lesley, i know you will want to hear the result of this inquiry, but what would help you? to know that patients under the private health ca re are patients under the private health care are protected and surgeons... sorry, i am looking for my words. they need to be monitored to make sure this sort of thing does not happen again. do you think there is a call for fundamental changes, and
8:19 am
what might that look like?” a call for fundamental changes, and what might that look like? i had to be fundamental changes, if the private health care sector does not ta ke private health care sector does not take responsibility, this could potentially happen again. private health care say they are not responsible for the doctors because they just give them responsible for the doctors because theyjust give them rooms to hire, and if the doctor carries out unnecessary or negligent operations, the private health care providers wash their hands of it. there needs to bea wash their hands of it. there needs to be a fundamental change so they are doctors and are responsible for their actions so that when things go wrong, they have to pick up the can, they are financially responsible, they are financially responsible, they have regulatory consequences. if that does not happen, i fear this situation will occur again. we know there has been compensation, but how does that help people? compensation is for the physical and psychological injuries, some people have been so fundamentally affected that they have not been able to
8:20 am
continue working, they cannot pay their mortgage. it is a huge cost to their mortgage. it is a huge cost to the nhs and the private sector. if in 2003 they had taken the steps they should have done, because they we re they should have done, because they were aware there were problems with the surgeon, it could have all been prevented. and a final thought from you, lesley, i know you will want to know the results today. how are you doing? i am ok. it isjust psychologically, that will always be with us all, it is something that will not go away. it is notjust physical scars, it is mental scars and having trust in the medical profession, change defined the trust again. thank you both very much for yourtime,
8:21 am
again. thank you both very much for your time, hopefully we will speak to you another day as well. in a statement, spire health care apologised for the "significa nt suffering" experienced by patients who were treated by ian paterson in its hospitals, and accepted that there were a number of missed opportunities to challenge his criminal behaviour. it says lessons have been learned and the spire has made significant changes to the way consultants are monitored. the department of health has said it wa nts to the department of health has said it wants to learn lessons from the case and improve care. the inquiry is published later, we will have news on that across the bbc today and will nojudge coverage on that across the bbc today and will no judge coverage on breakfast tomorrow as well. thousands of yazidi people from the singar mountains of northern iraq have suffered years of persecution by the islamic state group. families have been driven from their homes and many young women were held captive. those who survived have now formed a choir and are performing in the uk as part of a project to preserve their culture
8:22 am
and traditions. 0ur media and arts correspondent, david sillito has been to meet them. if you passed them on the streets, you really wouldn't give them a second glance — a group of cheerful and rather glamorous young women doing a bit of sightseeing. but what you don't see are the horrors they have endured. translation: i was nine years old at the time when isis attacked sinjar. i don't know anything about where my father and mother are, nor about my brother or his five children. the choir was only formed a couple of months ago. the women are yazidis, they are from the sinjar mountains of northern iraq, a religious minority that suffered appalling persecution. many of their songs are their own stories of kidnap, torture and rape at the hands of isis. it is almost impossible
8:23 am
to comprehend what some of these women have gone through, and this musical project, well, it's an attempt to save a culture, but it's also therapy. translation: when isis attacked sinjar, they kidnapped me and my brother and my sister. translation: i am a yazidi survivor. i was 14 years old when isis attacked our home. translation: when isis attacked, they kidnapped me and my family. isis soldiers came and chose some girls and took them away. then they sold me to one of them who was from turkey. and this is the world they grew up in, the small yazidi community. their musical traditions go back thousands of years.
8:24 am
nothing is written down, and there are just 16 official musicians left. one reason they are here is to deposit at 0xford's bodleian library a record of this endangered musical culture, before it is too late. the yazidi people have been through a terrible time. there are only 16 left of these people who are allowed to record music. this is about preserving and recording the music around the year, so we are recording the whole year's music and depositing it in the bodleian. but, more than anything, the music is a way to cope with experiences no—one should face. it is a really good thing. i enjoy and ifeel good when i play music with girls in this group, and i make new friends.
8:25 am
