tv Breakfast BBC News February 17, 2023 6:00am-9:00am GMT
6:00 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. nurses in england announce the biggest strike so far in their dispute over pay. they'll walk out for 48 hours on the 1st of march. it comes as rail workers announce new strikes over four days next month, and thousands of postal workers vote in favour of continuing their industrial action. three weeks after the disappearance of nicola bulley, the home secretary raises concerns with the police over the release of personal information about the missing mother of two. hollywood actor bruce willis has been diagnosed with dementia. his family say they hope sharing
6:01 am
the news will help raise awareness of the condition. drama on and off the pitch for manchester united, marcus rashford stars in a thriller in barcelona ahead of deadline day for potential new owners to submit bids. it is rather wild and windy end to the week, storm otto passes across the week, storm otto passes across the northern scotland area so we could have some destructive winds. —— disruptive wind. it's friday 17th february. the royal college of nursing has announced a 48—hour strike from the 1st march, in the biggest walk—out of the dispute so far. the nhs confederation, which represents health trusts, has warned that the government must settle its pay dispute with nhs staff or risk jeopardising its pledge to cut waiting lists in england. our health correspondent jim reed reports.
6:02 am
work don't pay the bills, work don't pay the bills! what is already a bitter dispute between nurses and the government is set to ratchet up again next month in england. work don't pay the bills, work don't pay the bills! unless there is a sudden breakthrough in talks, two further strike dates will go ahead at the start of march and they're likely to be the most disruptive yet. under the plans, nurses will walk out for 48 hours in a row, with overnight shifts now affected. 128 hospital trusts, along with mental health and community services, will take part, covering around half of england. and for the first time, thousands of nurses in key areas, including critical care, cancer treatment and a&e, will be asked to stop work with services stripped back to an absolute minimum. no nurse during the next period of strike will want to do anything to cause further risk to patients. but what i would say, the prime minister needs to step in now.
6:03 am
he needs to decide what he wants. does he want strikes or does he want to save the nhs? no nurse wants to be in this position at the beginning of march and it is time to start talking. it is time to resolve these strikes for our patients and for our nursing staff. groups representing large hospital trusts reacted with concern to the news. in a letter to the prime minister, the nhs confederation urged the government to negotiate with trade unions or accept the pledges to cut long nhs waiting lists are unlikely to be met in england. that really difficult challenge of reducing waiting lists becomes almost impossible if this industrial action spreads as it is spreading, and particularly ifjunior doctors join the industrial action. so the government's aspiration to lower waiting lists, its public commitment to lower waiting lists, is now being jeopardised by this ongoing industrial action. strike action in scotland and wales is currently suspended while unions consider new pay offers in those parts of the united kingdom.
6:04 am
while in northern ireland, no further strike dates are currently planned. in england, the government says it is working closely with the nhs on contingency plans and remains open to talks based on what is fair and affordable for the next financial year. jim reed, bbc news. we'll speak to pat cullen, the general secretary of the royal college of nursing at 7.15. the rmt also announced more national rail strikes yesterday. hannah will be looking at that and all the other planned industrial action at just after 6.30am. the home secretary has raised concerns with lancashire police after it revealed personal information about nicola bulley, who has now been missing for three weeks. the force has been criticised for making public that she had ongoing struggles with alcohol and the menopause.
6:05 am
the bbc understands that suella braverman was not satisfied with the force's justification for releasing the information. a young boy has been pulled from the rubble in turkey more than 260 hours after the earthquake hit. rescuers worked through the night in hatay to find him and there were cheers of celebration when he was successfully pulled free. it's as the syrian president bashar al—assad made his first public statement, thanking the international community for its help but said it must go further. the prime minister will hold talks with stormont leaders in belfast today with hopes that a deal between the uk and the eu on northern ireland's brexit arrangement is imminent. the current deal prevents checkpoints on the island of ireland, but the democratic unionist party is against the protocol, and has been blocking power—sharing in protest. the hollywood actor bruce willis has been diagnosed with dementia. his family released a statement online to say it was a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis.
6:06 am
it comes just months after it was announced he was retiring from acting because of an illness called aphasia, which affects cognitive abilities. david willis has this report. so your lady live out here? the past six months. why didn't you come with her, man, what's up? cos i'm a new york cop. bruce willis in his signature role as the hard—bitten hero of the die hard films, a five movie franchise that sparked a career that has generated billions of dollars at the box office. sorry, i didn't get that message. may day, terrorists have seized the nakatomi plaza. this channel is reserved for emergency calls only. do i sound like i'm ordering a pizza?! in all, he appeared in more than 100 films before being forced into retirement last year after suffering what were described as health issues, a condition known as aphasia which can cause speech and cognitive difficulties. a statement released at the time said he would be stepping away from a career that had meant so much to him. now, in a new statement, the actor's family said...
6:07 am
when a person has frontotemporal dementia, what they lose is these abilities to plan and organise their daily actions. and even more importantly, sometimes, to understand how their actions are received by other people around them. bruce willis's marriage to demi moore ended in divorce, but they have remained good friends and the updated statement about his condition was issued in her name as well as that of his current wife and his children from both marriages. in a tweet, the alzheimer's association praised the decision to share the diagnosis of his dementia. "our hearts are with bruce willis and his family," it said. just the woman i want to see.
6:08 am
just the man i wanted to see. a fixture on the small as well as the big screen for four decades, ever since his breakthrough role in moonlighting in which he starred alongside cybill shepherd, bruce willis always believed his family said in using his voice in the world to help others. got me. hopeless. all right, listen. they added that they hope the news of his plight would raise awareness of a currently incurable disease that merits both more awareness and more research. david willis, bbc news, washington. the new leader of the snp will be announced on monday the 27th march, following nicola sturgeon�*s surprise resignation. nominations for the top job have opened and will close next friday. no—one has formally declared yet. our scotland correspondent lorna gordon is in glasgow this morning. morning, lorna. take us to the timetable.
6:09 am
0k, ok, we have got some problems with the loner in glasgow for us. she was going to take us through what is happening in relation to the timetable to who will be scotland's first minister. shall we try in a few minutes? we will try, apologies for that. presidentjoe biden has said he makes no apologies for shooting down an alleged chinese spy balloon off the coast of the united states. he said that balloon was used for surveillance, but it's believed three subsequent objects shot down over north america were not foreign spy craft. he said they probably belonged to private companies. president biden said the us would speak to china's president xi soon about the incident. the funeral will be held later of a firefighter who died tackling the blaze at the formerjenners
6:10 am
department store in edinburgh. barry martin died on the 27th of january after sustaining serious injuries while fighting the fire at the building on princes street four days before. ahead of his funeral, his wife shelley paid tribute to him, saying he was "driven" to be a firefighter and was a devoted father to their eight—year—old twins oliver and daniel. she said she was "utterly privileged" to be his wife. injust under an hour, edf, one of the biggest energy suppliers, will announce its profits for last year. hannah's here with details. yesterday, we had centrica, the owner of british gas, edf, and other energy company, slightly different in structure?— in structure? yes, and the first thin to in structure? yes, and the first thing to say — in structure? yes, and the first thing to say is. _ in structure? yes, and the first thing to say is, a _ in structure? yes, and the first thing to say is, a lot _ in structure? yes, and the first thing to say is, a lot of - in structure? yes, and the first thing to say is, a lot of people | thing to say is, a lot of people will know edf as edf customers, if they send you your bill, we are not expecting the supply side to do
6:11 am
especially well. we have seen other energy suppliers struggling as well, many of them went under several months ago. that side of the business, if you are a customer, is not going to be announcing a massive profit today. what we are expecting on the side of their production, they are expected to announce some of the biggest profits they ever have seen. they are primarily dealing with nuclear production but the cost of nuclear production, the price that they can charge, is tied to the cost of gas so that is why they have been able to make profits. the government has started to tax renewable sources like nuclear, these companies making big returns from any kind of electricity generation ought to be paying tax on it. the other important thing to say about edf is they are a french company, but we care about it
6:12 am
because they invest hugely in the uk. they own the entire new uk nuclear fleet, uk. they own the entire new uk nuclearfleet, they uk. they own the entire new uk nuclear fleet, they own hinkley point c, and they are going to be building sizewell c as well. so the numbers at _ building sizewell c as well. so the numbers at 7am? _ building sizewell c as well. so the numbers at 7am? thank - building sizewell c as well. so the numbers at 7am? thank you, - building sizewell c as well. so the - numbers at 7am? thank you, hannah. an 85—year—old care home resident with a passion for adventure has completed the world's fastest zipline. sally webster reached speeds of 100 miles per hour as she took to the skies over the welsh county of gwynedd. ms webster flew down the 1.5—kilometer—long and 500—feet high zipline with her daughter juliet, a 52—year—old yoga teacher. that looks great fun. i don't know if there was _ that looks great fun. i don't know if there was sound _ that looks great fun. i don't know if there was sound recording. - that looks great fun. i don't know if there was sound recording. justj if there was sound recording. just the screech! _ if there was sound recording. just the screech! i— if there was sound recording. just the screech! i could _ if there was sound recording. just the screech! i could not _ if there was sound recording. just the screech! i could not tell-

6:14 am
north—east england will become very strong and gusty, particularly on the pennines and to the east of them we could have winds costing as much as 75 miles an hour. that could cause some damage, disruption, and that will be a crosswind for some major roads, so that could have a big impact on high sided vehicles. the rest of it, we have got some lively showers working across scotland, some are heavy with thunder. patchy rain and drizzle working south into england and wales, staying cloudy in seven counties but even though it is windy and gusty, we will see things brighten up with some sunshine around. the wind is not quite as strong through this afternoon, they will start to ease to the second half of the day and whilst it will turn cooler compared to what we have at the moment in the north, in the south it was state mild. i will have more details and your crucial weekend for cut in half an hour.
6:15 am
the home secretary has raised concerns with lancashire police after it revealed personal information about nicola bulley, who has now been missing for three weeks. the force has been criticised for making public that she had struggles with alcohol and the menopause. our reporter sarah rogers is in st michael's on wyre for us this morning. good morning, sarah, what more is there to know?— good morning, sarah, what more is there to know? good morning, naga. as the days — there to know? good morning, naga. as the days go _ there to know? good morning, naga. as the days go on. — there to know? good morning, naga. as the days go on, it _ there to know? good morning, naga. as the days go on, it seems - there to know? good morning, naga. as the days go on, it seems like - there to know? good morning, naga. as the days go on, it seems like the l as the days go on, it seems like the case gets more complicated but not for the right reasons. the home secretary, suella braverman, is now asking lancashire police why they have shared that deeply personal information about nicola bulley. on top of that, the force has referred itself to the police watchdog. this is over contact they had with nicola on the 10th ofjanuary, so 17 is over contact they had with nicola on the 10th of january, so 17 days before she went missing. they say that was a welfare call, as a result
6:16 am
of those issues, those personal issues, that they have now revealed. the watchdog will now determine whether an investigation is required. let's not forget, today marks three weeks since nicola bulley took her little girls to school, came for a walk with her dog, and on the river wye, and vanished. herfamily have dog, and on the river wye, and vanished. her family have this to say. we as a family believe that the public focus has become distracted from finding nicky and more about purgation and rumours. —— speculation and rumours. at the moment police are working on their main hypothesis that nicola entered the water and there was no third party involvement.— the water and there was no third party involvement. thank you very much, party involvement. thank you very much. sarah- _ firefighters from across the uk have been helping the rescue effort in turkey following the aftermath
6:17 am
of the earthquake that hit more than a week ago. fourfirefighters from cheshire made up part of the team and they've been speaking about how they tunnelled through the rubble to save people, as andy gill reports. rescuers pull a woman from the rubble of a collapsed building near gaziantep in turkey. in a cramped tunnel, and with the risk that aftershocks could bring it all down on them, they get her onto a stretcher and out. among this team was dan reid, a cheshire fire service crew manager. it was a really small space, so there wasn't many people that could fit in that space. so it was a bit of a team effort, you know, passing the rubble back in buckets in a bit of a chain, using small hand tools to break through the wall. a lot of it you were upside down as well in the tunnel. four firefighters from cheshire went to turkey, as part of the international search and rescue team. they flew back last night and were at fire andy clark, based at chester, says pictures on tv don't
6:18 am
prepare you for what it's like when you get there. the conditions with the dust getting into your nose and your eyes, the smell, as we went through the days, got considerably worse. a photo shows andy's legs sticking out of a tiny gap in the rubble, as they looked for possible survivors. when you're in a tiny space, a dangerous space like that, what's going through your mind? i think you're just thinking of the positives, the benefits that can be achieved. but we'll only take risks to save lives. the point of this deployment was to save lives. so we are taking those risks to go into those small spaces knowing that, yes, the worst could happen. john monahan, who's also based in penketh, says they had to bend the rules they'd normally stick to here to get people out. you could have a collapse at any moment and you knew that - going into it, but the search was more important at that| time than our own lives. when you get someone out, when you rescue someone, what's that like?
6:19 am
oh, it's total— happiness on everyone. we found an old lady, she was 91, and we got her out of a window. . we made a ladder out- of a fence, we climbed up. we wouldn't have been able to do that in the fire service. _ but there, we had to do - what you had to do over there. the fourth member of the team was ian wilson, who's based in lymm. we've heard you all did long, arduous hours. what keeps you going? coffee. coffee and the morale of the team. the cheshire team helped rescue eight people in turkey. seeing turkey the way it was, i don't think the thing could prepare you for that. it was absolutely devastating. andy gill, bbc news. later on in the programme will be meeting some of the team along with a sniffer dog that has been working out there so we will get a first—hand account of what it was
6:20 am
like. let's take a look at today's papers. the daily telegraph leads with the prime minister attempting to convince the dup to back his brexit deal in an attempt to end the "deadlock" over border trade in northern ireland. if he gets his deal over the line, then the paper says mr sunak is expected in parliament on tuesday. the daily mail leads on home secretary suella braverman's concerns about lancashire police's conduct in the search for missing mum—of—two nicola bulley. the force was criticised for telling the public that she had had struggles with alcohol and the menopause. the guardian reports that senior members of the scottish national party believe nicola sturgeon's shock resignation could delay their efforts to stage another independence referendum by at least five years. a party conference to discuss a strategy to gain independence has been postponed. and "obscene" profits for energy firms is the lead story on the i, which reports on calls made by mps and campaigners for centrica, the owner of british gas, to use its record billion—pound
6:21 am
profits to "compensate vulnerable families" that have been forced on to prepayment energy meters. a reminder that in under an hour, at seven o'clock, edf, one of the biggest energy suppliers, will be announcing its results. what have you spotted inside, anything of interest? , , ., , ., �* interest? this little story, i don't know how _ interest? this little story, i don't know how many _ interest? this little story, i don't know how many people - interest? this little story, i don't know how many people watched | interest? this little story, i don't i know how many people watched the netflix series emily in paris which had a particular vision of what paris was like through an american mission. . paris was like through an american mission. ,, , paris was like through an american mission. . , ., paris was like through an american mission. ,, , ., ~ paris was like through an american mission. ,, , . ~ ., mission. she is an american who moves to paris. _ mission. she is an american who moves to paris, emily. _ mission. she is an american who moves to paris, emily. the - mission. she is an american who l moves to paris, emily. the french that it was — moves to paris, emily. the french that it was a _ moves to paris, emily. the french that it was a cliched _ moves to paris, emily. the french that it was a cliched notion - moves to paris, emily. the french that it was a cliched notion of- moves to paris, emily. the french| that it was a cliched notion of what paris was like. so how much does a tv show affects how a nation feels about a place? there was a survey done about what americans thought of
6:22 am
paris in 2007, i will take this down, read it out. in 2007, 39% of americans had a positive view of the french. that was president chirac�*s time, the invasion of iraq, all that stuff. so now, after emily in paris, they say 73% of americans have a good opinion of france. after what the paper calls watching the hapless compatriot�*s mission to market luxury goods on instagram. the deputy mayor of paris hated the programme said it was a disneyland, view of paris. programme said it was a disneyland, view of paris-— programme said it was a disneyland, view of paris. ouch. some good news to brina view of paris. ouch. some good news to bring yon — view of paris. ouch. some good news to bring you. humpback _ view of paris. ouch. some good news to bring you. humpback whales, - view of paris. ouch. some good news to bring you. humpback whales, at i to bring you. humpback whales, at one point when they were looking for love and a partner, they were

6:24 am
emma vardy reports. this is the life of a british volunteer on the front lines of ukraine. whoa! a round from a russian tank misses him by inches. everyone ok? it's landed right next to me. i can't hear nothing. i can't hear a thing. ukrainian officials say 20,000 international volunteers have traveled to help defend the country and that british fighters make up one of the largest groups in the international legion. but there are others also now fighting in a number of different battalions on the front lines. and they've spoken to newsnight and our world about their experiences. a facebook advertisement, it was all in ukrainian, but i translated it. it said, "we'll give you a month's training and we'll send you out on the front line, you'll be fighting in the kharkiv district." 30—year—old james from yorkshire traveled to ukraine having had no previous military experience.
6:25 am
it's legal to enlist in the ukrainian military. fighters get a contract and can receive a wage. but the british government has advised strongly about the risks. they needed help, so i knew i can fight. that's what we're trained to do. those that do have combat experience are seen in ukraine as bringing valuable skills. we met james chadwick who, aged 21, quit his role with the british army to go. the ukrainians feel like, it makes them feel like they're not alone, like we are there. we are helping them fight. and much of the fighting involves old school trench warfare. we were 600 metres from russians at all times. it was literally our tree line, their tree line and a field in between. social media platforms like tiktok mean we have a greater insight into life on the front lines than ever before. videos posted by british volunteers can get millions of views. whatjust happened to your rifle? got shot. entrance, exit.
6:26 am
butjoining the war can end in tragedy. when craig mackintosh from norfolk travelled to ukraine, his family had little warning. i thought at first, why would you do that? why would you leave everyone and not tell anyone? and then i thought, wow, what a courageous thing to do. but they were to receive devastating news. police came to inform craig's family he'd been shot by a russian soldier. it hurt. most people die of cancer or common illness, not being shot out at war. six weeks later, his body was repatriated to the uk. i don't know, ijust didn't believe it. didn't feel real. ukrainian military officials say a steady stream of volunteers are still signing up to fight. for those willing to swap their lives in the uk for the battlefields of ukraine, it comes with comradeship and adventure, but those in the conflict and families at home can pay a heavy price.
6:27 am
emma vardy, bbc news. you can see more of that story on newsnight tonight, and in "brits in battle: ukraine" on the bbc iplayer. when marie woods took a trip to her local beach the last thing she expected to stumble across was a giant, jurassic footprint. the 166 million—year—old dinosaur print was discovered in scarborough in 2021. researchers believe the footprint was left by a theropod stopping for a rest and is the largest ever to be found in yorkshire. it's now set to go on display. we'll be speaking to marie later, along with professor phil manning about the find. i love the fact that the conclusion was it stopped for a rest. we will find out more. it requires more explanation. time now to get the news,
6:28 am
travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. gps across the capital say they're continuing to experience significant and growing strain on services with declining gp numbers, rising patient demand, and problems recruiting and retaining staff. as well as being part of the nhs's response to the covid—19 outbreak, they've cared for patients throughout and beyond the pandemic, with many saying they're busier than ever. i've been a gp since 2009 and this winter has probably been the busiest i've known our service to be. along with the usual winter viral illnesses, we've had strep a, but also patients are presenting with much more severe conditions because of the huge delays in hospital — outpatient. the family of a four—year—old girl who was killed in an explosion in thornton heath in south london say they are "still homeless" six months on — sleeping on the floor at a relatives' house.
6:29 am
merton council says it is "continuing efforts" to find a home for the family. some schools are being warned about dangerous online videos showing solvent abuse, which are being copied by children. in a letter seen by the bbc, teachers have been advised to look out for the signs of so—called "huffing". it's when chemicals are inhaled to achieve a short high. staff are being urged to listen out for conversations about breathing in things like butane. one charity's warned it's a very real danger. the search is on for the owner of this small black puppy rescued by a trainee driver and his instructorfrom a busy railway track in south london. stefan hug spotted the puppy in the middle of his lesson, stopped the train and contacted the signaller, who gave him the permission to rescue it. let's take a look at the tubes now. the bakerloo line has no service between queens park and harrow & wealdstone.
6:30 am
now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's a mild start to the day. plenty of cloud out there this morning. it's also quite windy, as well. so that deep area of low pressure to the north of scotland, named storm otto, will rattle through quite quickly. so for us today, gusts of around 30 to a0 miles per hour. and for all areas, it's a frost—free start to the day, plenty of cloud out there this morning, with a few spots of drizzle — very on and off through the course of the day — but later on, it should brighten up quite nicely. it will stay windy, as well, and our temperatures today at around 15 degrees celsius. and we'll hold onto those breezy conditions through this evening and overnight. a few spots of patchy rain and drizzle at first — these eventually clearing, so i think for most areas by the end of the night it should be dry. temperatures will fall away to around ten or 11 degrees celsius, which means that saturday morning will be another very mild start to the day. plenty of cloud at first, but it will brighten up through the afternoon with some sunny spells around.
6:31 am
another windy day in store with highs of around 15 degrees celsius. it will stay mild for us also through the day on sunday, and winds will ease. that's it — don't forget to download the bbc news app to keep up to date with what's going on. we'll be back in half an hour — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. coming up on breakfast this morning... what's love got to do with it is the star—studded new rom—com asking, what's the best way to find a partner in the modern world? emma a partner in the modern world? thompson, lilyjar we'll speak to the film's screen—writerjemima khan, and the actor asim chaudhryjust before eight o'clock. # heaven is a place on earth... 35 years after topping the uk charts with this hit,

out. there will be an awful lot of. disruption. let's run through what we know. yes, this promises to be the biggest walk—out yet from members of the royal college of nursing, and we've also had confirmation that rail and royal mail workers will go on strike again. so lots going on. let's start with nurses — the latest strike action is likely to be the most disruptive yet with members at half of hospitals, mental health and community services in england taking part in a 48—hour strike at the beginning of next month. this time the action will include staff in a&e, intensive care units and cancer wards. the rcn is calling for a pay rise of 5% above inflation, which is currently more than 10%. let's look now at the trains — where industrial action has been affecting passengers for more than six months. the rmt union has now announced that its members working for all m train operating companies in the uk will walk out again over four days starting next month and impacting the start of the easter holidays. the union has rejected a pay offer from network rail — and also announced its members who work on the tracks and bridges will take part in a ban on overtime,
6:34 am
which could impact maintenance work. meanwhile, the dispute between royal mail and the communication workers union is also set to continue after postal workers voted in favour of continuing their strike action. royal mail says it has offered a pay deal that is worth up to 9% over 18 months, but the union rejected that and is also taking issue with changes to terms and conditions. the company believes that even the threat of further strike action will drive customers away to other postal services. meanwhile, in education, teachers in northern ireland and staff at 150 universities are due to walk out next week — with questions over whether there will be further teacher strikes in england too. and finally let's look at what's going on today — ambulance staff in the west midlands and in northern ireland are on strike. to be clear, though,
6:35 am
this is supposed to affect only non—life—threatening calls, and people are still advised to use the 999 service in an emergency. border force staff are also beginning three days of industrial action, which won't affect you if you're leaving the country — but is likely to have an impact on inbound travel to the uk. so a lot to keep up with. and if the government hoped a lot of these disputes would be resolved soon, it looks like it's going to be a tough few months ahead. indeed. ok, thank you for taking us through that. we have to talk money and sport and sport is the fun stuff often and money... and sport and sport is the fun stuff often and money. . ._ and sport and sport is the fun stuff often and money... nerve-racking 24 hours for manchester _ often and money... nerve-racking 24 hours for manchester united - often and money... nerve-racking 24 hours for manchester united fans. . hours for manchester united fans. and that against one of their big rivals last night and today they were checking their phones and their websites to see who potentially could be taking over the club because for so long they have looked longingly across at manchester city and their spending power. they want that. to compete with the stadium stuff. ., , ., . ., , stuff. the owners are considering

6:37 am
you didn't score them. and i think we should have scored, minimum, four goals. now, they've started this year as they finished the last one. i'm talking about the seemingly unstoppable lionesses, who are now 27 games unbeaten under coach sarina wiegman. south korea the latest team to be swept aside as england's women build up to this summer's world cup. jane dougall reports from milton keynes. a convincing victory in front of 21,000 fans. england's first match of the arnold clark cup off to a strong start against the lower—ranked side south korea. they had dominated with multiple chances before a penalty gave georgia stanway their first — delighting the excitable young fans. the floodgates had opened. just 16 seconds into the second half, chloe kelly's solo run gave them a second. england were enjoying themselves now — they quickly scored a third before the ball fell to lauren james.
6:38 am
it's james! her first england goal. 4—0, and head coach sarina wiegman's unbeaten record remains intact. jane dougall, bbc news, milton keynes. now rugby league is back, and warrington wolves got the new super league season off to a sparkling and surprising start by thrashing leeds rhinos, who were last season's grand finalists — but didn't look like it here, as wolves raced into a whopping half—time lead, and ended up winning 42 points to ten. all the more remarkable as the wolves finished next to bottom last year, but scored seven tries. what a turnaround. now there's no six nations this weekend — and will there be any as such for wales, next weekend? because their captain alun wynjones, admits his team could go on strike against england in the next game. the players are in a dispute with the wales rugby union over a long—term pay deal. the "nuclear" option of striking, has been rumoured for a number of days, and wynjones has confirmed it's possible, but it's not
6:39 am
what the squad wants. it's a very last option. there are people really impassioned. i think, ultimately, if you treat people badly for long enough, you get to where we we find ourselves. and again... we realise what we do and how fortunate we are to do it, but if this was any other line of work, any other industry — for this period of time, with this amount of uncertainty, you'd get the same reaction. now to the story of glamping pods, the problem of homelessness, and a footballing legend. lou macari played for two of the giants of british football — celtic and manchester united, as well as 24 times for scotland. he won at wembley as a player and a manager. but now he's chasing very different goals, as he runs a homeless shelter to help people in need. i've been to meet him ahead of a charity sleep—out tonight. in the heart of the potteries, the warehouse and glamping pods set
6:40 am
up by a football legend who's tackling the problem of homelessness. from the glory of scoring the winner in a scottish cup final... and has it gone in? macari... ..and the goal that clinched the fa cup at wembley. he seemed to have got the ball away, but he hadn't, and macari... ..to now giving hope to those in desperate need... hiya. all right? yeah, you all right? ok, let mejust come infora minute. how's everything? good, it's good. 0k? we're doing good. settling down? we are. it's like a little home. good. ..like19—year—olds chloe and leighton, who had been sleeping rough until lou macari answered their call. we were homeless, we were sleeping on the street, - and it wasjust horrible. it was horrible. i've got a son and i've got think of him because i got told - if i didn't get an accommodation, my son was going to get - put up for adoption.
6:41 am
so my last hope was this place. it's been amazing — like you see, we've got our own stuff. - nice and warm, i can vouch for that! lovely and warm. we've got our own privacy, nice tv. we've got along with the people in here. i it's just... it's a good place. it's a good place, isn't it? my little boy, i can't. wait to have him back, he's going to be the life and joy of my world _ like, that little boy- is going to change our lives. going to run us ragged, but... laughter. ..do you know what? i wouldn't change him in any way. all the best. take care. you too. well, lou, obviously, i remember you as a football legend — winning those cup finals — but how did you go from that to changing people's lives here? don't know! they laugh. ijust suddenly decided that i'd been very fortunate in football — cos you've got to be a little bit lucky, as well. i'd been at celtic, i'd been at manchester united — two of the biggest clubs in the world — and i thought now�*s time maybe to give something back to people who haven't experienced a life like i have. and the other thing was, i got 48 televisions given to me
6:42 am
by the league managers association and i realised that they don't.. when they're out there in the streets, they haven't got televisions! so i immediately put the televisions in the pod. they were starting to talk about things that were happening in the world. you know, you can see the scale of the place now. amazing. it helped turn around raf�*s life — a former guest at the centre who's now moved on into rented accommodation, and is able to see his three children again. raf didn't want us to film him close up. and this place took me in its arms and gave me that comfort and that love and that care. because i was desperate in life at that point. it made me independent. lou macari himself... he's god's gift to us. what makes raf�*s story possible is fundraising for the macari centre and other charities. over the last seven years, more than 700 people have taken part in the annual charity sleep—out at stoke city's ground, which has raised £150,000 — and counting.
6:43 am
from its humble beginnings in 2016, the lou macari foundation has now helped hundreds of people who found themselves homeless get their lives back on track. and it's notjust about providing warm accommodation, like nowadays in these pods — it's about giving them their respect, their self esteem back. for example, they get called guests here. they've got little numbers by each of the pods. they say that's so important. and also, given lou macari's background, there's also a football—related theme here, too. we bought another place, and if you behave yourself in here and you want to progress, we'll move them into the next place. we've got a... like promotion! think promotion. and if they're in the new place and they kick off and it causes problems, they'll be relegated back here. so it's simple — promotion and relegation — and i think... i just think it might work. yeah. i'm hoping it works. because the one thing that i'm disappointed in during the six years
6:44 am
is the number of people that have moved on. i haven't been happy with the numbers. lou is hoping the former pub and hotel he's now taken over — with 28 rooms providing upgraded accommodation — will help more of those on the road to recovery take the final steps, but says the odds are often stacked against him. because it is so difficult when you've got drugs as your opponent — i'm going back to the football now, the drugs are my opponent — i can't get the better of them. you'll be rebuilding — come back from this, thanks to this place. just like in lou's coaching days, it is all about people management — albeit now with far more at stake for the likes of andy. mike, he knows what he wants. he's not going to give up the heroin to try and achieve that. 0h, iwill. 0h, iwill, because it's all up in my head, yeah? i've got to go, yeah? i know... iknow him. i know, if lou gave me a chance down there... yeah? i know i could prove him wrong. 50 years after lou macari left celtic for manchester united, he has very different goals today — but his work is, again,
6:45 am
the stuff of legends. he is there everyday and his phone is never off. we get calls in the middle of the night to go and help a problem with one of the residents, or the guests as they are called. so important to have those numbers to give them an address. all of those people sleeping out tonight and raising money for a great cause, helping to change lives. trier? helping to change lives. very impressive- _ helping to change lives. very impressive. thank _ helping to change lives. very impressive. thank you - helping to change lives. very impressive. thank you very l helping to change lives. very impressive. thank you very much. matt is taking a look at the weather. oh, there was a strong wind gusts. pretty well start to the day. good job they did that comic relief challenge last week. top of the cairngorms, this is not unusual but elsewhere... gusts of over 80 mph in the last half hour or so. it is a
6:46 am
particularly nasty start for some. that wind will have some big impact. it is all linked to storm otto. this is pushing its way eastwards so when's i peeking for many through this morning before they gradually start to ease down but it will be a blustery day even away from the north and east with winds gusting to gale force at times. here is where the strongest winds will come over the strongest winds will come over the next few hours, gusting up to around 80 mph across parts of the north of scotland and the winds will strengthen further in the coming hours around the pennines and to the east. especially gusty. outbreaks of rain quickly working southwards, fragmenting, frequently heavy and thundery showers to the north of scotland, easing a bit through the day. cloud will linger throughout across southern counties, but a pretty mild day to come with temperatures around 12 degrees, lifting to 13 or 14. it will feel
6:47 am
fresh it later on further north but don't forget it will be tempered by the wind wind. winds will be lighted tonight. outbreaks of rain, mounting snow across parts of scotland as winds for lighter and we will see rainfall southwards. a mild night, it chilly in the verify north of scotland where they could be frost and ice into the start of your weekend. the trike for saturday shows it to make a two weather fronts, one in the south were quite windy, and another across some northern parts where it will not be as windy. scotland and northern ireland, far north of england, cloudy day, outbreaks of rain. fairly cloudy through the english channel and around the coasts with that strong breeze at times. in between, many of you getting away with a dry day on saturday, some sunny spells around and across england and wales feeling a bit like spring again. up to 14 or 15 degrees, cooler in northern scotland. the weather fronts clear
6:48 am
into sunday, a brief ridge of high pressure. it will be mainly during saturday night because by sunday, more cloud and rain is spilling in. the northern half of the uk, much more cloud it more widely here and wetter especially in the western highlands of scotland. the winds pick up in the western isles later in the day. for england and wales on sunday, will have a dry day. sunday, many will have a dry day. away from the far north and eastern coasts where they will be patchy rain, particularly in the morning. brightest conditions on sunday across southern counties of england and the channel islands, a brighter day for you compared with saturday. but certainly through this morning, very windy. it but certainly through this morning, ve wind . . ., , but certainly through this morning, ve wind. . ., i, thank you. we will speak later. rail passengers face more disruption this weekend — not from strikes this time, but engineering works on both the east coast and west coast lines — which means there are no direct trains between scotland and london. on the west coast main line, trains between glasgow and london euston will be affected by work on the tracks near preston — no trains will be able to pass
6:49 am
through this station for the next four weekends. and on the east coast, improvements to digital signalling mean trains from edinburgh will end theirjourney in peterborough or the nearby town of st neots — and london stations king's cross and moorgate are also closed. if you still need to make the journey from scotland to london this weekend — there are some route options — but they require a little ingenuity. travel correspondent at the independent simon calder joins us now with some suggestions. good morning to you. your big brain needs to unravel some of these twists and turns that might be needed to take a journey from scotland to london.— scotland to london. yes, and normally _ scotland to london. yes, and normally these _ scotland to london. yes, and normally these two _ scotland to london. yes, and normally these two lines - scotland to london. yes, and i normally these two lines would scotland to london. yes, and - normally these two lines would never be closed at the same time. network rail, which is carrying out the works, says it is essential because the bad weather and strikes have held up engineering projects so that is why they are both closed. you
6:50 am
have got to go for a plan b. i have checked out a whole range of options and bear in mind some of these require some quite tight connections and you really need to use them for the purposes of illustration. i would make it an adventure and discover new parts of the railway that you didn't know existed. for example... ratherthan that you didn't know existed. for example... rather than getting the rail replacement buses which will be running between st neots and bedford on the east coast, and between lancaster and buckshaw parkway... no, i haven't been there either, it is just north of chorley in lancashire. you can use that doncaster dodge. this involves catching the 5:48am train from waverley and stops in lots of places in scotland, northeast and yorkshire, get to doncaster where you have five minutes to rush across
6:51 am
and catch the hull trains. it never normally runs. from glasgow, take advantage of the opportunity to take the scenic one—day trip. this involves getting to carlisle, lots trains going there, and the amazing carlisle to leeds run, going across the pennines, some of the most beautiful scenery in europe, i reckon, and it reaches places you will not get to by road. many travel from leeds to sheffield to london st pancras. and finally would you believe there is a trans cambridgeshire nonstop express which is being brought in. this will run from peterborough, where lots of trains from the north will be terminating on the east coast main line. the very pretty way, right through the whole of cambridgeshire without stopping, and ending in a
6:52 am
london liverpool street. my goodness, the opportunities for seeing new parts of the country, and hopefully speeding up the journey so it only takes perhaps an hour or two longer than usual and there is plenty of opportunities out there. meanwhile, can i mention that storm otto, speed restrictions are slowing down trains everywhere pretty much north of carlisle to newcastle. so do check before you travel. i think some of those _ do check before you travel. i think some of those journeys _ do check before you travel. i think some of those journeys or - do check before you travel. i think some of those journeys or parts i do check before you travel. i thinkj some of those journeys or parts of them sound quite lovely. especially extra services are being put on. they might garner a bit of new business. so that is this weekend. thank you for taking us through that. next month there are more rail strikes. still no agreement, obviously, what can you tell us? well, yes, ok. so the worst affected day will be just under four weeks from now. thursday the 16th of march. the rmt union, which has been
6:53 am
involved in a long and bitter dispute with network rail, the infrastructure providers, and 14 train operators, is going in for another round of strikes. they are basically saying, we want and 9% pay rise, which is a 5% last year and 4% this year, with no strings attached. the train operators network rail and ministers say we have got to have some efficiencies in the industry in order to be able to afford a pay rise. the two sides are further apart than ever. so on thursday the 16th of march, the vast majority of trains across great britain are going to be knocked out. network rail signals will be taking action. so even if you are in wales, or scotland, where they are not involved in the dispute, because network rail does the signalling, those trains will go. on the 18th of march, the 30th of march and april., there will be staffed from 14 train operators going on strike. it won't have quite such an effect. if you
6:54 am
are on one of the train operator is not involved in this dispute, things should carry on but i am afraid it looks as though we are in for a long war of attrition with the two sides, as i say, further apart than ever. just a very brief word. going back to this weekend, in some ways... it is not strike action but it is a good thing that the lines are being upgraded, so this should be better news for travellers in the future. oh, yes! and of course, as any of us who regularly travel by train... i don't have a car so i am always on the train. we will know there are all sorts of problems right across the country with the victorian rail infrastructure. it is steadily being upgraded but unfortunately that does require closing things down and, of course, these things tend to happen mostly at weekends, although there are moves to move it to, for instance, mondays and fridays, days when actually they are the quietest in the week now because people are just working tuesdays, wednesdays
6:55 am

6:58 am
been the busiest i've known our service to be. along with the usual winter viral illnesses, we've had strep a, but also patients are presenting with much more severe conditions because of the huge delays in hospital — outpatient. the family of a four—year—old girl who was killed in an explosion in thornton heath in south london say they are "still homeless" six months on, sleeping on the floor at a relatives' house. merton council says it is "continuing efforts" to find a home for the family. some schools are being warned about dangerous online videos showing solvent abuse, which are being copied by children. in a letter seen by the bbc, teachers have been advised to look out for the signs of so—called "huffing". it's when chemicals are inhaled to achieve a short high. staff are being urged to listen out for conversations about breathing in things like butane. one charity's warned it's a very real danger.

the search is on for the owner of this small black puppy rescued by a trainee driver and his instructor, from a busy railway track in south london. stefan hug spotted the puppy in the middle of his lesson, stopped the train and contacted the signaller who gave him the permission to rescue it. let's take a look at the tubes now. the bakerloo line has no service between queens park and harrow & wealdstone. there are minor delays on the district line and severe delays on thejubilee line. now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's a mild start to the day. plenty of cloud out there this morning. it's also quite windy, as well. so that deep area of low pressure to the north of scotland, named storm otto, will rattle through quite quickly. so for us today, gusts of around 30 to 40 miles per hour. and for all areas, it's a frost—free start to the day, plenty of cloud out there this morning, with a few spots of drizzle — very on and off through the course of the day — but later on, it should brighten up quite nicely. it will stay windy, as well,
7:00 am
and our temperatures today at around 15 degrees celsius. and we'll hold onto those breezy conditions through this evening and overnight. a few spots of patchy rain and drizzle at first — these eventually clearing, so i think for most areas by the end of the night it should be dry. temperatures will fall away to around ten or 11 degrees celsius, which means that saturday morning will be another very mild start to the day. plenty of cloud at first, but it will brighten up through the afternoon with some sunny spells around. another windy day in store with highs of around 15 degrees celsius. it will stay mild for us also through the day on sunday, and winds will ease. that's it — don't forget to download the bbc news app to keep up to date with what's going on. we'll be back in half an hour. bye for now.
7:01 am
good morning, welcome to breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. our headlines today. nurses in england announce the biggest strike so far in their dispute over pay. they'll walk out for 48 hours on the 1st march. three weeks after the disappearance of nicola bulley, the home secretary raises concerns with the police over the release of personal information about the missing mother of two. hollywood actor bruce willis has been diagnosed with dementia. his family say they hope sharing the news will help raise awareness of the condition. edf are expected to announce record profits from its electricity generation in the next few minutes — we'll be going through the figures.
7:02 am
drama on and off the pitch for manchester united. marcus rashford stars in a thriller in barcelona ahead of deadline day for potential new owners to submit bids. storm otto has brought a wild start to parts of scotland and north—east england, winds gusting over 80 miles an hour. the latest on the details and the full forecast here on breakfast. it's friday 17th february. the royal college of nursing has announced a 48—hour strike from the 1st march, the biggest walk—out of the dispute so far. the nhs confederation which represents health trusts has warned that the government must settle its pay dispute with nhs staff, or risk jeopardising its pledge to cut waiting lists in england. our health correspondent jim reed reports. work don't pay the bills, work don't pay the bills!
7:03 am
what is already a bitter dispute between nurses and the government is set to ratchet up again next month in england. work don't pay the bills, work don't pay the bills! unless there is a sudden breakthrough in talks, two further strike dates will go ahead at the start of march and they're likely to be the most disruptive yet. under the plans, nurses will walk out for 48 hours in a row, with overnight shifts now affected. 128 hospital trusts, along with mental health and community services, will take part, covering around half of england. and for the first time, thousands of nurses in key areas, including critical care, cancer treatment and a&e, will be asked to stop work with services stripped back to an absolute minimum. no nurse during the next period of strike will want to do anything to cause further risk to patients. but what i would say, the prime minister needs to step in now. he needs to decide what he wants. does he want strikes or does
7:04 am
he want to save the nhs? no nurse wants to be in this position at the beginning of march and it is time to start talking. it is time to resolve these strikes for our patients and for our nursing staff. groups representing large hospital trusts reacted with concern to the news. in a letter to the prime minister, the nhs confederation urged the government to negotiate with trade unions or accept the pledges to cut long nhs waiting lists are unlikely to be met in england. that really difficult challenge of reducing waiting lists becomes almost impossible if this industrial action spreads as it is spreading, and particularly ifjunior doctors join the industrial action. so the government's aspiration to lower waiting lists, its public commitment to lower waiting lists, is now being jeopardised by this ongoing industrial action. strike action in scotland and wales is currently suspended while unions consider new pay offers in those parts of the united kingdom. while in northern ireland,

no further strike dates are currently planned. in england, the government says it is working closely with the nhs on contingency plans and remains open to talks based on what is fair and affordable for the next financial year. jim reed, bbc news. we'll speak to pat cullen, the general secretary of the royal college of nursing in around ten minutes' time. we will find out more detail about how this strike will affect services. the home secretary has raised concerns with lancashire police after it revealed personal information about nicola bulley, who has now been missing for three weeks. the force has been criticised for making public that she had struggles with alcohol and the menopause. our reporter sarah rogers is in st michael's on wyre for us this morning. so, sarah, there has been quite a

bit of criticism, the home secretary has made comment on this now as well, pick up the story and tell us about the investigation? yes. well, pick up the story and tell us about the investigation? yes, sure. it's a about the investigation? yes, sure. it's a blustery. _ about the investigation? yes, sure. it's a blustery, wet _ about the investigation? yes, sure. it's a blustery, wet and _ about the investigation? yes, sure. it's a blustery, wet and awful - about the investigation? yes, sure. it's a blustery, wet and awful day l it's a blustery, wet and awful day here but one thing which is not dampening is the interest in this case. itjust continues to grow. the home secretary suella braverman has got involved, demanding an explanation as to why lancashire police thought it was appropriate to release that personal information. they have been in for a lot of criticism over how they have handled this case, although they say that the investigation is a huge one. it's a massive operation, and there are some 40 detectives involved. they have now referred to themselves to the police watchdog. this is over contact that they had with nicola, on the 10th ofjanuary, contact that they had with nicola, on the 10th of january, before she disappeared. the iop seat will decide if there is an investigation needed. let's get away from that and
7:07 am
get back to the heart of the story, it's get back to the heart of the story, its three weeks since nicola bulley went missing. herfamily say its three weeks since nicola bulley went missing. her family say there are people speculating that were threatening to sell stories and they just want to get back to the search. they also directly appealed to her, they said, we hope you are reading this and know that we all love you so much. at the moment, police say their main hypothesis is that nicola ended up in the water, and that nobody else is involved. that's the hypothesis they are working on at the moment. . sara, for the moment, thank you. a young boy has been pulled from the rubble in turkey nearly 11 days after the earthquake hit. rescuers worked through the night in hatay to find him and there were cheers of celebration when he was successfully pulled free. it's as the syrian president bashar al—assad made his first public statement, thanking the international community for its help, but said

7:12 am
maternity leave but due back in the next few weeks. there will be a big debate, perhaps we will see a divide between continuity and change, those who became politically active in the 19905 versus those who were born in the 19905. those nominations close next friday and then voting amongst members takes place in two weeks in march, ending on monday 27th with the announcement of a winner expected that day.— the announcement of a winner expected that day. the announcement of a winner ex-ected that da . ., ~ , ., ., expected that day. thank you, and we shau expected that day. thank you, and we shall carry on — expected that day. thank you, and we shall carry on with _ expected that day. thank you, and we shall carry on with the _ expected that day. thank you, and we shall carry on with the waiting - shall carry on with the waiting game, thank you, lorna. the funeral will be held later of a firefighter who died tackling the blaze at the formerjenners department store in edinburgh. barry martin died after sustaining serious injuries while fighting the fire at the building in the city centre. ahead of his funeral, his wife shelley paid tribute to him, saying he was "driven" to be a firefighter and she was "utterly privileged" to be his wife. the hollywood actor bruce willis has been diagnosed with dementia. his family released a statement
7:13 am
online to say it was a relief to finally have a clear diagnosis. it comes just months after it was announced he was retiring from acting because of an illness called aphasia, which affects cognitive abilities. our correspondent david willis has this report. so your lady live out here? the past six months. why didn't you come with her, man, what's up? cos i'm a new york cop. bruce willis in his signature role as the hard—bitten hero of the die hard films, a five movie franchise that sparked a career that has generated billions of dollars at the box office. sorry, i didn't get that message. may day, terrorists have seized the nakatomi plaza. this channel is reserved for emergency calls only. do i sound like i'm ordering a pizza?! in all, he appeared in more than 100 films before being forced into retirement last year after suffering what were described as health issues, a condition known as aphasia which can cause speech and cognitive difficulties. a statement released at the time said he would be stepping away from a career that had meant so much to him.
7:14 am
now, in a new statement, the actor's family said... when a person has frontotemporal dementia, what they lose is these abilities to plan and organise their daily actions. and even more importantly, sometimes, to understand how their actions are received by other people around them. bruce willis's marriage to demi moore ended in divorce, but they have remained good friends and the updated statement about his condition was issued in her name as well as that of his current wife and his children from both marriages. in a tweet, the alzheimer's association praised the decision to share the diagnosis of his dementia. "our hearts are with bruce willis
7:15 am
and his family," it said. just the woman i wanted to see. just the man i wanted to see. a fixture on the small as well as the big screen for four decades, ever since his breakthrough role in moonlighting in which he starred alongside cybill shepherd, bruce willis always believed, his family said, in using his voice in the world to help others. got me. hopeless. all right, listen to me. they added that they hope the news of his plight would raise awareness of a currently incurable disease that merits both more awareness and more research. david willis, bbc news, washington. here's matt with a look at this morning's weather. i think people need to be careful today particularly as you save on your graphic, if they are travelling. yes, certainly over the next few hours, some of the worst conditions will be across scotland for the rest
7:16 am
of this morning. good morning. storm otto is named by the danish weather service but having an impact here already, gusty winds, travel and power disruption. let me take you through the details. on the base of this hook of cloud, the strongest winds are running through this part, it is working east so that is where we will see the peak of the winds across parts of scotland over the next few hours. in the last hour certainly wins over 80 miles an hour in some parts of scotland, and in north—east england at the winds are strengthening. a flavour of what to expect, the wind is easing down in western scotland compared to what we have had so far. but picking up in the north—east of england, to the east of the pennines we could see winds topping 75 miles an hour through the rest of this morning. don't forget with the wind coming from a generally western direction, it is a crosswind for major roads,
7:17 am
so high sided vehicles are at particular risk. the rest of the weather, sunshine and showers for scotland, most frequent in the north and east this morning and easing later. a bright day for northern ireland before clouding over later, patchy rain to end the day. northern ireland seeing the sunshine coming out even though the winds will get gusty, southern parts are staying fairly cloudy. the wind is easing down into the afternoon but with it it will be a mild day in the south, turning fresher compared to temperatures this morning of 10 degrees in the north. health secretary steve barclay has described further strikes by nurses in england next month, as a "significant escalation" which he says will "risk patient safety". the royal college of nursing is set to hold its biggest walk—out this winter, with a 48 hour strike from 1st to 3rd march, over pay and working conditions. rcn general secretary pat

a decent wage and remain in the health service and we can stop draining our nurses. it is devastating for those nurses and i hear it in their voice of physical day when i speak with them. can i ask ou day when i speak with them. can i ask you one _ day when i speak with them. can i ask you one more _ day when i speak with them. can i ask you one more question, - day when i speak with them. can i ask you one more question, which is, i note the situation, we are talking specifically about england, there are different scenarios being played out in scotland where strike action has been called off, for example. but if today, steve barclay were to say, i will sit down with you, pat cullen, and talk about the outstanding issues, with no commitment from him up front about whether he was talking about pay or other things, to say, i will talk to and we will have a meeting, would your strike action be called off? we need to your strike action be called off? - need to talk about pay. your strike action be called off? we need to talk about pay. if _ your strike action be called off? we need to talk about pay. if i - your strike action be called off? we need to talk about pay. if i may, i i need to talk about pay. if i may, i will ask you _ need to talk about pay. if i may, i will ask you to — need to talk about pay. if i may, i will ask you to answer _ need to talk about pay. if i may, i will ask you to answer that - will ask you to answer that question. fora will ask you to answer that question. for a lot of people who may well have sympathies with your situation that nurses are in, if he were to say now that i will sit down

7:25 am
about giving nurses a decent wage. can i ask you one more question? i know we have taken quite a bit of your time, know we have taken quite a bit of yourtime, pat know we have taken quite a bit of your time, pat cullen. know we have taken quite a bit of yourtime, pat cullen. some know we have taken quite a bit of your time, pat cullen. some people looking at these with dismay it might be thinking, if this doesn't work, there is no indication as you said before that the government will sit down and have discussions, if this doesn't work, you have gone from 12 hours during the day to 48 hours, what is the next step? foretell. hours, what is the next step? well, that is part — hours, what is the next step? well, that is part of _ hours, what is the next step? well, that is part of our _ hours, what is the next step? well, that is part of our escalation - hours, what is the next step? -ii that is part of our escalation plan. let's not get there. let's get into a room and start to address these issues. let's put the plans on the table. let's get to a negotiating table. let's get to a negotiating table. we owe that to every single patient in england. we owe it to every single nurse that is trying their best, as they have joined their best, as they have joined their shift this morning to look after their patients, with a completely depleted workforce. we should never, ever get beyond this. what we need to do now is do everything to stop the strike at the

this sunday on bbc two. time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london. gps across the capital say they're continuing to experience significant and growing strain on services with declining gp numbers, rising patient demand, and problems recruiting and retaining staff. as well as being part of the nhs's response to the covid—i9 outbreak, some have been telling us they are bigger than ever as part of a series. —— they are busier. i've been a gp since 2009 and this winter has probably been the busiest i've known our service to be. along with the usual winter viral illnesses, we've had strep a, but also patients are presenting with much more severe conditions because of the huge delays in hospital — outpatient. some schools are being warned about dangerous online videos showing solvent abuse, which are being copied by children. in a letter seen by the bbc, teachers have been advised to look out for the signs

of so—called "huffing". it's when chemicals are inhaled to achieve a short high. staff are being urged to listen out for conversations about breathing in things like butane. one charity's warned it's a very real danger. it is more of a hidden form of substance use. it's toxic, it's potent, and it's not meant to be inhaled it has a depressive effect on the central nervous system — so your coordination, your balance, your speech. it can have a quite profound effect on the brain. the search is on for the owner of this small black puppy rescued by a trainee driver and his instructorfrom a busy railway track in south london. stefan hug spotted the puppy in the middle of his lesson, stopped the train and contacted the signaller, who gave him the permission to rescue it. let's take a look at the tubes now. the bakerloo line has no service between queens park and harrow & wealdstone.
7:35 am
now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's a mild start to the day. plenty of cloud out there this morning. it's also quite windy, as well. so that deep area of low pressure to the north of scotland, named storm otto, will rattle through quite quickly. so for us today, gusts of around 30 to 40 miles per hour. and for all areas, it's a frost—free start to the day, plenty of cloud out there this morning, with a few spots of drizzle — very on and off through the course of the day — but later on, it should brighten up quite nicely. it will stay windy, as well, and our temperatures today at around 15 degrees celsius. and we'll hold onto those breezy conditions through this evening and overnight. a few spots of patchy rain and drizzle at first — these eventually clearing, so i think for most areas by the end of the night it should be dry. temperatures will fall away to around ten or 11 degrees celsius, which means that saturday morning will be another very mild start to the day. plenty of cloud at first, but it will brighten up
7:36 am
through the afternoon with some sunny spells around. another windy day in store with highs of around 15 degrees celsius. it will stay mild for us also through the day on sunday, and winds will ease. that's it — don't forget to download the bbc news app to keep up to date with what's going on. we'll be back in an hour — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. more than a week after earthquakes hit syria and turkey, there's growing anger over why so many buildings collapsed — burying tens of thousands of people as they slept. in turkey, more than 100 arrest warrants have been issued in connection with unsafe buildings, and the government has been accused of turning a blind eye. our europe correspondent nick beake has been investigating the collapse of one building in gaziantep. night and day, they've been waiting for a miracle. but there's no sign of one. their relatives lived in the most

"everything is gone," she weeps,

before revealing there had been concerns that water was weakening the building. translation: it was an accident waiting to happen. _ six months ago, the head of the residents' association told us about the problems of the building. she said our buildings might collapse at the smallest earthquake. "let's strengthen the pillars," she said. but nothing happened. neighbours tell us a former security guard at the complex could give us more information. translation: | witnessed - the defects with my own eyes. when i touched the concrete columns, it would crumble to dust in my hands as though it wasn't concrete at all. the iron was rusting in the columns. the rainfall was damaging and corroding the iron.
7:39 am
in the middle of all this death and destruction, we need to remind ourselves that, these days, homes can be built or strengthened to withstand earthquakes of this magnitude. 2a years ago, this country got a big wake—up call when more than 17,000 people were killed in a previous quake. since then, the turkish authorities have failed to protect their people — whether it's those living in new builds or in older properties, too. opposition politicians say tens of thousands have now paid with their lives. in the civilised countries, earthquakes happen and people don't die. unfortunately, in turkey, these kind of earthquakes happen every ten years, and people die, and they say it is a destiny. no, it is not a destiny. if we just do what the science says, nobody dies. a man connected to our particular complex in gaziantep has been arrested.
7:40 am
his lawyer tells us he's done nothing wrong, and the building was well constructed. the local authority says no complaints were made, and so no inspections were ever carried out. president erdogan says it was not possible to be prepared for such a disaster. but in light of this story — one replicated across the country — how many in turkey can truly sleep soundly? nick beake, bbc news, gaziantep. we'll be joined later by members of uk rescue teams who have been on the ground in turkey. we'll be speaking to them just after 8.00 this morning. the weather is coming up later. it is 7:40am which means that mike has the sport. is 7:40am which means that mike has the sort. , ., is 7:40am which means that mike has the sport-_ it _ is 7:40am which means that mike has the sport-_ it is - is 7:40am which means that mike has the sport._ it is one - the sport. good morning. it is one of those--- — the sport. good morning. it is one of those. .. manchester _ the sport. good morning. it is one of those. .. manchester united - the sport. good morning. it is one|

7:42 am
the england forward was a threat throughout the match and scored the equaliser, for erik ten hag's side with this fine finish. rashford was again involved in united's second, firing in the cross which was turned into his own net byjules kounde. but a late goal by raphinha earned barca a draw in this europa league first leg. it was a promising performance ahead of an expected takeover, although the manchester united manager wanted more. in such a game, we created many chances. you can't expect, actually, but we did. and then it's a little bit disappointment that you didn't score them. and i think we should have scored, minimum, four goals. they are a top team. we got what we expected _ in terms of their playing style . and what they're good at and... this is a good performance from us and want to build on that. - with the women's world cup just

8:03 am
which represents health trusts has warned that the government must settle its pay dispute with nhs staff or risk jeopardising its pledge to cut waiting lists in england. our health correspondent jim reed reports. work don't pay the bills, work don't pay the bills! what is already a bitter dispute between nurses and the government is set to ratchet up again next month in england. work don't pay the bills, work don't pay the bills! unless there is a sudden breakthrough in talks, two further strike dates will go ahead at the start of march and they're likely to be the most disruptive yet. under the plans, nurses will walk out for a8 hours in a row, with overnight shifts now affected. 128 hospital trusts, along with mental health and community services, will take part, covering around half of england. and for the first time, thousands of nurses in key areas, including critical care, cancer treatment and a&e, will be asked to stop work
8:04 am
with services stripped back to an absolute minimum. no nurse during the next period of strike will want to do anything to cause further risk to patients. but what i would say, the prime minister needs to step in now. he needs to decide what he wants. does he want strikes or does he want to save the nhs? no nurse wants to be in this position at the beginning of march and it is time to start talking. it is time to resolve these strikes for our patients and for our nursing staff. groups representing large hospital trusts reacted with concern to the news. in a letter to the prime minister, the nhs confederation urged the government to negotiate with trade unions or accept the pledges to cut long nhs waiting lists are unlikely to be met in england. that really difficult challenge of reducing waiting lists becomes almost impossible if this industrial action spreads as it is spreading, and particularly ifjunior doctors join the industrial action. so the government's aspiration to lower waiting lists, its public commitment to lower waiting lists, is now being jeopardised by this
8:05 am
ongoing industrial action. strike action in scotland and wales is currently suspended while unions consider new pay offers in those parts of the united kingdom. while in northern ireland, no further strike dates are currently planned. in england, the government says it is working closely with the nhs on contingency plans and remains open to talks based on what is fair and affordable for the next financial year. jim reed, bbc news. the home secretary has raised concerns with lancashire police after it revealed personal information about nicola bulley, who has now been missing for three weeks. the force has been criticised for making public that she had struggles with alcohol and the menopause. our reporter sarah rogers is in st michael's on wyre for us this morning.

yes, it is ferocious. storm otto is with us, named by the danish weather service because of the impact expected there. it is having an impact here because of rail cancellations, bridge restrictions and trees down across parts of east scotland and england today. this hook, the strongest of the winds are on the southern edge of this, the peak of the winds will be few parts of the morning. the strongest of the gas will be in the north and east of scotland, over 80 miles an hour. we are starting to see them pick up even more in the pennines and the north—east. forthe even more in the pennines and the north—east. for the next few hours in scotland we continue with the wind is potentially over 80 miles an hour, easing down across western areas. continuing to pick up through the rest of the morning rush—hour across the pennines and into the east, and especially gusty, notice the wind direction coming from the west to east, and that will have an impact on these north—south routes.
8:15 am
bear that in mind if you are about to head out. away from that, a mild start, patchy rain and drizzle working south, but also plenty of sunshine with the strong winds. the sheraton scotland will fade, remaining windy which will pick up in all key —— orkney and shetland over the next few hours. easing down to peds to what we have got at the moment. pressure in the north, but which is above average everywhere. —— it is fresher in the north. firefighters from across the uk have been helping the rescue effort in turkey following the aftermath of the earthquake that hit more than a week ago. fourfirefighters from cheshire made up part of the team and they've been speaking about how they tunnelled through the rubble to save people, as andy gill reports. rescuers pull a woman from the rubble of a collapsed building near gaziantep in turkey. in a cramped tunnel, and with the risk that aftershocks could bring it all down on them, they get her onto
8:16 am
a stretcher and out. among this team was dan reid, a cheshire fire service crew managerfrom penketh. it was a really small space, so there wasn't many people that could fit in that space. so it was a bit of a team effort, you know, passing the rubble back in buckets in a bit of a chain, using small hand tools to break through the wall. a lot of it you were upside down as well in the tunnel. four firefighters from cheshire went to turkey, as part of the international search and rescue team. andy clark, based at chester, says pictures on tv don't prepare you for what it's like when you get there. the conditions with the dust getting into your nose and your eyes, the smell, as we went through the days, got considerably worse. a photo shows andy's legs sticking out of a tiny gap in the rubble, as they looked for possible survivors. when you're in a tiny space, a dangerous space like that, what's going through your mind? i think you're just thinking of the positives, the benefits that can be achieved.
8:17 am
but we'll only take risks to save lives. the point of this deployment was to save lives. so we are taking those risks to go into those small spaces knowing that, yes, the worst could happen. john monahan, who's also based in penketh, says they had to bend the rules they'd normally stick to here to get people out. you could have a collapse at any moment and you knew that - going into it, but the search was more important at that| time than our own lives. when you get someone out, when you rescue someone, what's that like? oh, it's total— happiness on everyone. we found an old lady, she was 91, and we got her out of a window. . we made a ladder out- of a fence, we climbed up. we wouldn't have been able to do that in the fire service. _ but there, you had to do- what you had to do over there. the fourth member of the team was ian wilson, who's based in lymm. we've heard you all did long, arduous hours. what keeps you going?
8:18 am
coffee. coffee and the morale of the team. the cheshire team helped rescue eight people in turkey. seeing turkey the way it was, i don't think nothing could prepare you for that. it was absolutely devastating. andy gill, bbc news. we'rejoined now by two more of the uk team who took part in the rescue effort in turkey — firefightersjim davison and linday sielski, and the rescue dog davey. —— lindsay. can you tell us a little bit about the work that you are doing out there? we bit about the work that you are doing out there?— bit about the work that you are doing out there? bit about the work that you are doinu out there? ~ , ., doing out there? we deployed with a 77 stron: doing out there? we deployed with a 77 strong team. _ doing out there? we deployed with a 77 strong team, it _ doing out there? we deployed with a 77 strong team, it is _ doing out there? we deployed with a 77 strong team, it is classed - doing out there? we deployed with a 77 strong team, it is classed as - doing out there? we deployed with a 77 strong team, it is classed as a - 77 strong team, it is classed as a

our search sector, i put them in the bottom. that gave them a chance, as we were hotfooting it down the road, it gave them a chance to absorb what was going on. when you are searching for people you are looking at the situation and listening to sounds, and if you drop someone into that situation too quickly, it's going to overwhelm them. on that walk down, it gives the team a chance to basically just absorb it gives the team a chance to basicallyjust absorb it it gives the team a chance to basically just absorb it all it gives the team a chance to basicallyjust absorb it all in. it's getting the lie of the land, just absorb that periphery. what it's getting the lie of the land, just absorb that periphery. what you don't want to — just absorb that periphery. what you don't want to do _ just absorb that periphery. what you don't want to do is _ just absorb that periphery. what you don't want to do is put _ just absorb that periphery. what you don't want to do is put to _ just absorb that periphery. what you don't want to do is put to the - just absorb that periphery. what you don't want to do is put to the team | don't want to do is put to the team into a situation too quickly that is going to overwhelm them, you need the team to be working as effectively as possible for as long as possible. 50. effectively as possible for as long as possible-— effectively as possible for as long as ossible. _ , ., as possible. so, lindsay, when you arrived with — as possible. so, lindsay, when you arrived with davey, _ as possible. so, lindsay, when you arrived with davey, who _ as possible. so, lindsay, when you arrived with davey, who is - as possible. so, lindsay, when you arrived with davey, who is very - arrived with davey, who is very chilled, may i say! is he tired or just very relaxed? i chilled, may i say! is he tired or just very relaxed?— chilled, may i say! is he tired or just very relaxed? i think after ten da s of just very relaxed? i think after ten days of go. _ just very relaxed? i think after ten days of go. go. — just very relaxed? i think after ten days of go. go. go. _ just very relaxed? i think after ten days of go. go. go. we _ just very relaxed? i think after ten days of go, go, go, we are - just very relaxed? i think after ten days of go, go, go, we are now. days of go, go, go, we are now sleeping — days of go, go, go, we are now sleeping a _ days of go, go, go, we are now sleeping a little bit. the first three — sleeping a little bit. the first three days he was there, he did not

how to spot it, and why- getting your daily dose of fibre could help prevent it. it's friday, and lots of us will be looking forward to a weekend tipple. but on the back of a stat that suggests 55% of those who tried dryjanuary failed, we're talking to ex—cricketer luke sutton about the warning signs you could be becoming dependent and how to break the cycle if that's you. also today, food criticjay rayner talks to us about taking his kitchen cabinet on tour with bbc radio 4, and tells us why he's on a mission to ban leftovers, an idea that was only invented to sell fridges! plus strictly superstars maisie smith and kevin clifton chat about getting their dream roles in a sparkling new ballroom musical. and strictly for all our graziano di prima fans, he's here to end our week on a high with all of this week's feel—good moves in today's strictly fitness. i think will we be doing a little bit of this today if anyone is up for that! see you at 9:15am. looking nood, take

for that! see you at 9:15am. looking good. take care- _ time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. hello, good morning from bbc london i'm victoria hollins. gps across the capital say they're are continuing to experience significant and growing strain on services with declining gp numbers, rising patient demand, and problems recruiting and retaining staff. as part of our week—long series on how london's healthcare system is faring, some have been telling us they�* re busier than ever. i've been a gp since 2009 and this winter has probably been the busiest i've known our service to be. along with the usual winter viral illnesses, we've had strep a, but also patients are presenting with much more severe conditions because of the huge delays in hospital — outpatient. the family of a four—year—old girl who was killed in an explosion in thornton heath in south london say they are "still homeless" six months on — sleeping on the floor at a relative's house. merton council says
8:33 am
it is "continuing efforts" to find a home for the family. a police investigation into the explosion is ongoing. some schools are being warned about dangerous online videos showing solvent abuse, which are being copied by children. in a letter seen by the bbc, teachers have been advised to look out for the signs of so—called "huffing". it's when chemicals are inhaled to achieve a short high. staff are being urged to listen out for conversations about breathing in things like butane. one charity's warned it's a very real danger. it is more of a hidden form of substance use. it's toxic, it's potent, and it's not meant to be inhaled into the human body. it has a depressive effect on the central nervous system — so your coordination, your balance, your speech. it can have a quite profound effect on the brain. let's take a look at the tubes now. the bakerloo line has no service between queens park and harrow & wealdstone.
8:34 am
now onto the weather with kat. hello, there, good morning to you. it's a mild start to the day. plenty of cloud out there this morning. it's also quite windy, as well. so that deep area of low pressure to the north of scotland, named storm otto, will rattle through quite quickly. so for us today, gusts of around 30 to 40 miles per hour. and for all areas, it's a frost—free start to the day, plenty of cloud out there this morning, with a few spots of drizzle — very on and off through the course of the day — but later on, it should brighten up quite nicely. it will stay windy, as well, and our temperatures today at around 15 degrees celsius. and we'll hold onto those breezy conditions through this evening and overnight. a few spots of patchy rain and drizzle at first — these eventually clearing, so i think for most areas by the end of the night it should be dry. temperatures will fall away to around ten or 11 degrees celsius, which means that saturday morning will be another very mild start to the day. plenty of cloud at first, but it will brighten up
8:35 am
through the afternoon with some sunny spells around. another windy day in store with highs of around 15 degrees celsius. it will stay mild for us also through the day on sunday, and winds will ease. that's it — don't forget to download the bbc news app to keep up to date with what's going on. we'll be back in half an hour — bye for now. hello, this is breakfast with charlie stayt and naga munchetty. one of our main stories this morning is nursing strikes. we no more have been announced. also rail workers, royal mail all will be taking part in more strike action. hannah is keeping across the latest for us this morning. good morning. good morning. an awful lot auoin good morning. good morning. an awful lot going on- — good morning. good morning. an awful lot going on- let's _ good morning. good morning. an awful lot going on. let's run _ good morning. good morning. an awful lot going on. let's run through - good morning. good morning. an awful lot going on. let's run through it. i this promises to be the biggest walk—out yet from members
8:36 am
of the royal college of nursing, and we've also had confirmation that rail and royal mail workers will go on strike again. let's start with nurses — the latest action is likely to be the most disruptive yet with members at half of hospitals, mental health and community services in england taking part in a 48—hour strike at the beginning of next month. this time it will include staff in a&e, intensive care units, and cancer wards. the rcn is calling for a pay rise of 5% above inflation, which would be a lot more than most people have been getting. let's look now at the trains, where industrial action has been affecting passengers for more than six months. the rmt union has announced that its members who work for uk train operators will walk out again over four days — starting next month and impacting the start of the easter holidays. the union also announced its members
8:37 am
who work on the tracks and bridges will take part in a ban on overtime which could impact maintenance work. that is because they have rejected a pay offer from network rail. meanwhile, the dispute between royal mail and the communication workers union is also set to continue after postal workers voted in favour of continuing their strike action. royal mail says it has offered a pay deal that is worth up to 9% over 18 months, but the union rejected that and is also taking issue with changes to terms and conditions. there is a fear here from the company that even the threat of further strike action will mean they lose business as we all think about whether to use other postal services instead. meanwhile, in education, staff at 150 universities are due to walk out next week, as are teachers in northern ireland, with questions over whether there will be further teacher strikes in england, too. and last but not least, let's look at what's going on today — ambulance staff in the west midlands and in northern ireland are on strike. to be clear, though, this is supposed to affect only non—life—threatening calls, and people are still. non—life—threatening calls,
8:38 am
and people are still advised to use the 999 service in an emergency. border force staff are also beginning three days of industrial action, which won't affect you if you're leaving the country, but is likely to have an impact on inbound travel to the uk. so a lot to keep up with, charlie and naga, and if the government hoped a lot of these disputes would be resolved soon, and there is an awful lot on their plates, as well.— plates, as well. thank you very much. you don't have to be a big football fans to know at manchester united against barcelona is a big one. it is huge. last night, first leg of the europa league tie and lived up to expectation.— to expectation. there was a list of rumblin: to expectation. there was a list of rumbling on- _ to expectation. there was a list of rumbling on. it _ to expectation. there was a list of rumbling on. it was _ to expectation. there was a list of rumbling on. it was a _ to expectation. there was a list of rumbling on. it was a cracker- to expectation. there was a list of rumbling on. it was a cracker but| to expectation. there was a list of l rumbling on. it was a cracker but -- it was a cracker _ rumbling on. it was a cracker but -- it was a cracker but _ rumbling on. it was a cracker but -- it was a cracker but more _ it was a cracker but more importantly, the long—term future because potential owners with potentially the big spending power going forward, i am talking about in
8:39 am
five years' time, will they have the power to match the projected spending of manchester city and newcastle? we are talking about the future. will manchester united have that powerhouse in charge? there is a hint that the _ that powerhouse in charge? there is a hint that the current _ that powerhouse in charge? there is a hint that the current owners i that powerhouse in charge? there is a hint that the current owners knox l a hint that the current owners knox at the glazer family are looking at selling, looking at strategic proposals going forward. we are looking at who is throwing their hat into the ring today. following the drama on the pitch in spain last night, today it is all about the future for manchester united. any prospective new owner of the club must submit their proposal today. bids are expected from groups in qatar, the usa, saudi arabia and the uk — led by britain's richest man, sirjim ratcliffe. and they will have enjoyed what they saw on the pitch last night, especially the jewel in their crown — marcus rashford — as he helped the team to a 2—2 draw in barcelona. the england forward was a threat throughout the match and scored the equaliser for erik ten hag's side with this sublime finish. rashford was again involved in united's second, firing in the cross which was turned
8:40 am
into his own net byjules kounde. but a late goal by raphinha earned barca a draw, in this europa league first leg. it was a promising performance ahead of an expected takeover — the final round of bidding is expected in march. the first game of the year for the lionesses saw them pretty much pick up where they left off in 2022, with a 4—0 win over south korea. this was in the arnold clark cup in milton keynes. after georgia stanway�*s penalty had put the european champions ahead, chloe kelly doubled their lead, just 20 seconds into the second half. player of the match laurenjames finished things off, with herfirst england goal. next up for sarina wiegman's side — italy on sunday. england's cricketers lead new zealand by nearly 100 runs after the second day of the opening test. ben stokes' team are 79—2 going into tomorrow, that's in their second innings. the lead could have been bigger, but for the batting of tom blundell earlier. try as they might, england's bowlers had no answers to his batting brilliance as he powered past the century mark. he went on to hit 138
8:41 am
before james anderson finally removed his threat to end the kiwi's innings. zak za k crawley zak crawley made 28 for england in response. it is finely poised heading into day three. now to the story of glamping pods, the problem of homelessness, and a footballing legend. lou macari played for two of the giants of british football — celtic and manchester united — as well as 24 times for scotland. he won at wembley as a player and a manager. but now he's chasing very different goals, as he runs a homeless shelter to help people in need. i've been to meet him ahead of a charity sleep—out tonight. in the heart of the potteries, the warehouse and glamping pods set up by a football legend who's tackling the problem of homelessness. from the glory of scoring the winner in a scottish cup final... and has it gone in? macari...
8:42 am
..and the goal that clinched the fa cup at wembley... he seemed to have got the ball away, but he hadn't, and macari... ..to now giving hope to those in desperate need... hiya. all right? yeah, you all right? ok, let mejust come infora minute. how's everything? good, it's good. 0k? we're doing good. settling down? we are. it's like a little home. good. ..like19—year—olds chloe and leighton, who had been sleeping rough until lou macari answered their call. we were homeless, we were sleeping on the street, i and it wasjust horrible. it was horrible. i've got a son and i've got think of him because i got told - if i didn't get an accommodation, my son was going to get - put up for adoption. so my last hope was this place. it's been amazing — like you see, we've got our own stuff. - nice and warm, i can vouch for that! lovely and warm. we've got our own privacy, nice tv.
8:43 am
we get along withl the people in here. it's just... it's a good place. it's a good place, isn't it? my little boy, i can't. wait to have him back, he's going to be the life and joy of my world _ like, that little boy- is going to change our lives. going to run us ragged, but... laughter. ..do you know what? i wouldn't change him in any way. all the best. take care. you too. well, lou, obviously, i remember you as a football legend — winning those cup finals — but how did you go from that to changing people's lives here? don't know! they laugh. ijust suddenly decided that i'd been very fortunate in football — cos you've got to be a little bit lucky, as well. i'd been at celtic, i'd been at manchester united — two of the biggest clubs in the world — and i thought now�*s time maybe to give something back to people who haven't experienced a life like i have. and the other thing was, i got 48 televisions given to me by the league managers association and i realised that they don't... when they're out there in the streets, they haven't got televisions! so i immediately put the televisions in the pod. they were starting to talk about things that were
8:44 am
happening in the world. you know, you can see the scale of the place now. amazing. it helped turn around raf�*s life — a former guest at the centre who's now moved on into rented accommodation, and is able to see his three children again. raf didn't want us to film him close up. and this place took me in its arms and gave me that comfort and that love and that care. because i was desperate in life at that point. it made me independent. lou macari himself... he's god's gift to us. what makes raf�*s story possible is fundraising for the macari centre and other charities. over the last seven years, more than 700 people have taken part in the annual charity sleep—out at stoke city's ground, which has raised £150,000 — and counting. from its humble beginnings in 2016, the lou macari foundation has now helped hundreds of people who found themselves homeless get their lives back on track. and it's notjust about providing
8:45 am
warm accommodation, like nowadays in these pods — it's about giving them their respect, their self—esteem back. for example, they get called guests here. they've got little numbers by each of the pods. they say that's so important. and also, given lou macari's background, there's also a football—related theme here, too. we bought another place, and if you behave yourself in here and you want to progress, we'll move them into the next place we've got. like promotion! and if they're in the new place and they kick off and it causes problems, they'll be relegated back here. so it's simple — promotion and relegation — and i think... i just think it might work. yeah. i'm hoping it works. because the one thing that i'm disappointed in during the six years is the number of people that have moved on. i haven't been happy with the numbers. lou is hoping the former pub and hotel he's now taken over — with 28 rooms providing upgraded accommodation — will help more of those on the road to recovery take the final steps, but says the odds are often
8:46 am
stacked against him. because it is so difficult when you've got drugs as your opponent — i'm going back to the football now, the drugs are my opponent — i can't get the better of them. you'll be rebuilding — come back from this, thanks to this place. just like in lou's coaching days, it is all about people management — albeit now with far more at stake for the likes of andy. mike, he knows what he wants. he's not going to give up the heroin to try and achieve that. 0h, iwill. 0h, iwill, because it's all up in my head, yeah? i've got to go, yeah? i know... iknow him. i know, if lou gave me a chance down there... yeah? i know i could prove him wrong. 50 years after lou macari left celtic for manchester united, he has very different goals today — but his work is, again, the stuff of legends. i hope and it does prove him wrong. he says he will be watching this
8:47 am
