Good morning, it is a damp start to the weekend for Northern Ireland, parts of england and wales, it is brighterfurther north, parts of england and wales, it is brighter further north, but still some wintry showers to be had and there is more snow in the forecast for some. I will have more details injusta for some. I will have more details injust a few for some. I will have more details in just a few minutes. We will see you then, philip. Good morning. First, our main story. Many Government Services across the United States have shut down after politicians failed to pass a spending bill. Hundreds of thousands of Public Workers are being sent home until a compromise can be found. However, essential Services Including National Security and air Traffic Control will continue. The last Government Shutdown in 2013 lasted 16 days. Sarah corker reports. Its a Government Shutdown nobody wanted. It went to the wire but there was no last minute deal. As democrats rallied on capitol hill, inside the senate, Republican Leaders couldnt secure enough votes to pass a spending bill to extend the funding of federal agencies. On this vote, the ayes are 50, nays are 49. The motion is not agreed. Three fifths of the senators duly chosen and sworn not having voted in the affirmative, the vote is not agreed. Now the Trump Administration faces an embarrassing shutdown. What we have just witnessed on the floor was a cynical decision by Senate Democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political games. The Government Shutdown was 100 avoidable. President trump, if you are listening, i am urging you, please take yes for an answer. The way things went today, the way you turned from a bipartisan deal, its almost as if you were rooting for a shutdown. At the centre of all of this, a row over immigration and the so called dreamers. Democrats had demanded the bill included protection from deportation for 700,000 young, undocumented immigrants who came to the us as children. After the senate vote, the white house released this strongly worded statement will maher negotiate the status of oui will maher negotiate the status of our lawful immigrants while democrats hold our lawful citizens hostage over their reckless demands. This is the behaviour of other structuralist losers, not legislators. The last Government Shutdown was in 2013 and lasted 16 days. It means federal offices and services will close and thousands of staff placed on temporary unpaid leave as early as monday. Military operations, though, will continue. Republicans and democrats have traded blame for this crisis. Neither side wants to be held accountable for closing the government, but a financial shutdown begins on the First Anniversary of Donald Trumps inauguration as president. Downing street confirmed theresa may will hold face to face talks with President Trump next week. They will meet at the World Economic forum in davos, the press secretary of the president said the meeting would be used to further strengthen the special relationship between the us and the uk. British tourists in the jamaican resort of montego bay are being warned not to leave their accommodation after a state of emergency was declared. The measures are in response to a recent rise in violent crime, including a number of shootings. The french president has said he respected, but regretted, the brexit vote, and said the eu would love to welcome the uk back. In an interview to be broadcast on the Andrew Marr Show tomorrow, Emmanuel Macron also suggested the uk could get a bespoke trade deal with the European Union after brexit, but again warned that britain would not have full access to the Single Market without accepting its rules. We can get more on this from our Political Correspondent emma va rdy. It is always interesting to get from the horses mouth exactly what leaders think. What president macron said will matter because france is a big player in the eu and what macron things will be interesting, influential among the other eu countries we will be negotiating with as part of the brexit talks. Theresa may has said what britain wa nts after theresa may has said what britain wants after brexit is a bespoke trade deal with the eu, not something that replicates what another country outside the eu has but something that goes much further than that. What president macron has said is, yes, britain may well be in line for the bespoke deal it is after but any deal will not give you the same level of access to the Single Market as the one you have already. Because, getting that would mean abiding by the rules of the European Court of justice mean abiding by the rules of the European Court ofjustice and paying into the eu budget, something we know that brexiteers would not accept. Sure, but i take these two references, because this special way should be consistent with the preservation of the Single Market and our collective interests. You should understand that you cannot, by definition, have full access to the Single Market if you dont tick the box. And to get full access to the Single Market you need contribution to the budget and you have to accept. The freedoms. The freedoms and the four pillars and the jurisdiction. While president macron has made his first visit to britain since becoming french president everyone has been trying to gauge how favourable france will be to britain as part of the negotiations. Are they on our side . What we have seen is, yes, britain and france remain strong allies and neighbours, however, president macron is united with the other eu countries and that britain, well, it isnt going to get any special treatment. 0k britain, well, it isnt going to get any special treatment. Ok then, thank you, emma vardy. The family of the american rock star, tom petty, has revealed that his death last october was caused by an accidental drug overdose. He was found unconscious at his home in malibu, days after completing an extensive tour to mark the 40th anniversary of his band, the heartbreakers. The 66 year old was on medication for a range of issues including emphysema and a fractured hip. Pope francis has used a visit to peru to sound a stark warning about the future of the amazon and its indigenous communities. The pontiff told the people of Puerto Maldonado that the region had never been so threatened by businesses keen to exploit it for oil, gas, food and gold. Tribal elders called on him to help protect them from being driven from their lands. Virginia langeberg reports. Pope francis arrived in Puerto Maldonado, on the edges of the amazon rainforest, to a resoundingly warm reception, from those perhaps too young to fathom the scale of the issues their communities face. The pontiff was notjust a guest for these amazonian tribes, but a powerful mouthpiece for their plight, protecting the land they see slipping away from them. This once tranquil part of the world has fallen victim to an illegal gold rush which has spawned a billion dollar black market that is destroying their habitats and has seen the introduction of Human Trafficking and violent criminal networks. Translation the native amazonian people have probably never been so threatened as they are at present. The amazon is a territory that is being disputed on many fronts. Translation i have a feeling of peace and tranquillity. He has comforted us with his soft words, telling us, you can change this world and continue with our customs and traditions. Pope francis then travelled to perus capital, lima, but was forced to switch vehicles in the middle of the motorway after the car suffered a flat tyre. The amazon will now be the focus of a world bishops meeting taking place in october next year. The time is 9 10am, mike will have the sport later. Jamaica is a popular destination for holiday makers who want to escape the dreary january whether we are seeing in the uk but now the Foreign Office has warned tourists not to wander away from resorts on their own. More than 200,000 british tourists visited the country in 2017, most travelled to the popular resort of montego bay on the north west of the island. There has been an increase in crime recently. There was an average of six murders a week in the area last year and on thursday the countrys Prime Minister declared a state of public emergency and sent troops onto the streets to deal with what he called general lawlessness. The travel journalists simon calder is with us 110w. Journalists simon calder is with us now. Just put those statistics in some kind of perspective for us. This is a very dangerous place. Jamaica is a wonderful island, ive been lucky enough to travel there several times and they are great people, fantastic culture, wonderful scenery people, fantastic culture, wonderful scenery and tremendous beaches. But it does have an extraordinary problem with crime and in particular murder. The murder rate is 50 times the murder rate in britain, its ten times the murder rate in the us relative to the population. This state of emergency was declared effectively to try to clear things up effectively to try to clear things up in the area around montego bay which has seen the greatest increase in lawlessness. How visible is this lawlessness to tourists . By that i mean, obviously there are lots of resorts, but you like to travel out and about but perhaps you dont see these sides of countries when travelling out and about . There are parts of montego bay and kingston, the capital, where you are simply advised never to go and there are other parts of the island where you are told to be careful, go there in daylight, the width other people. So its very unlikely that as a tourist you would actually be at the scene of one of these awful killings. However, the Foreign Office is sufficiently worried because of the state of emergency to Say Something which i have not seen it say before, which i have not seen it say before, which is effectively. Previously they would say go to a place, we think it is ok but dont go, and if you dont go your insurance is invalid. Now they say go there but stay within your confined to barracks, unless you are on an official extension or going to and from the airport. If you dont do that and choose to go walkabout and walk into town and have a cup of coffee or have a drink somewhere, what are the indications . If you look at montego bay itself, you have a road called the hip strip, officially called gloucester avenue, eddie has cafes, bars, hotels and restau ra nts, eddie has cafes, bars, hotels and restaurants, talking to people who just returned from there its business as usual it has cafes. If you decided to look at the georgian architecture in downtown montego bay, you would be taking a risk. Im trying to establish whether your insurance would be invalidated but i dont believe it would be. But the Foreign Office says if you go anywhere off limits then you are facing potential problems. Can you give us snappy a nswe is problems. Can you give us snappy a nswers to problems. Can you give us snappy answers to a couple of tweets that have come through . Does this affect other resorts, rosemary asks . The state of emergency only applies to the area around montego bay so if you go to the west or the east then you go to the west or the east then you should be ok, bearing in mind there is a fair amount of crime you need to watch out for as well. One from adam asking, how can holidays continue . Thats a fair question, isnt it . If you are going there listening to what you said this morning, what if you decide if you dont fancy going to a place where there is a state of emergency . The Tour Operator say normal terms and conditions apply, most people going there are on all inclusive holidays and will be in their results and at the moment there is no scope to change your destination, or cancel without penalty. Its worth saying, there are still holidays on sale flying from gatwick on friday, or manchester on saturday, at some pretty good prices from tui. Got a big your brain about the american Government Shutdown, how will it affect passports and visas . The first thing is transport would be affected, air Traffic Control, the immigration controls and airport security, they are all essential services and stay as normal. If you are applying for a visa, perhaps because you are working or a student going there, or you have a criminal record or something, that process could stop for the time being. Once you get there its going to be tourist things such as the National Parks. Last time five years ago all 400 National Parks shutdown. You will also find museums, particularly the great museums in washington, dc could be shut down as well. Ive been checking with the department of the interior, National Parks, some of them will stay open but for example, you will not be able to use the loo. It is going to be a little odd for the next few days. The only good thing compared to last time is very few british holiday makers are going to be exploring the great National Parks of the us. Ok, thank you very much, simon. So much to ta ke you very much, simon. So much to take in. Lovely having you simon. It is 9 16am. How is the weather going to be if you are staying closer to home . If you were with us half an hour or so if you were with us half an hour or so ago ish sodhi this wonderful picture from perth and kinross and the point of interest is the mountain in the background, in the 18th century that was the centre of an experiment to try and determine the mass of the earth if you can believe it. Thats not quite the end of the story because the original quy of the story because the original guy who picked that location said im not going to do this so along camea im not going to do this so along came a couple of guys, one was the astronomer royal at the time assisted by a mathematician by the names of Charles Hutton who subsequently after this particular experiment was conducted then went on to design the system of contour lines. Thats amazing, isnt it . All of that from that one picture. Thats the good view of the British Isles today, the northern portion, scotland, the north east of england, further south we have an issue with the weather front driving moisture, and there is plenty of it, fog conditions at a number of locations, this was pontypridd earlier on this morning. To make one of those january days. It is bright and frosty and thats the way it will stay across northern and eastern parts of britain. Once you have, you are from Northern Ireland through wales to the midlands and east anglia and the southern counties where it is mild in the south west and quite windy, but the problem is, yes, it is cool here, in comes the most, there could be a conversion of snow, to take away the surprise at. This is not a mass of concern but be aware if you are on the Higher Ground, you might see snow during the course of the day. Improvement from the western end of the front through the Northern Ireland, probably late in the day into wales, but its one of those days across the south eastern quarter, and it will stay cool and grey and its pretty miserable fare, mild in the south west, much colder but sunshine further north. My concerns are heightened somewhat by what goes on, because the skies were clear as the rain clears away to be replaced by yet more rain. Moving yet again into a really cold atmosphere. The problem lies in the fact that that weather front is going to continue its further damage any further east so its further damage any further east so there will be a real problem during the day tomorrow for snow and ice, notjust in scotland and north of england, as you will see. As this whole belt of moisture moves its way ever whole belt of moisture moves its way ever further towards the east, not helped by the high ground, but this is not just helped by the high ground, but this is notjust the high ground issue because as the front system tumbles over to the eastern side of england and scotland to quite low levels, you will have snow for a time. That doesnt stay there throughout the day, because eventually we pick the temperatures up enough, not by much but enough to convert some of the snow back to rain, but you will have lying snow and it will be cold across northern and eastern parts. Thats no issue will not be an issue across the south because of the temperature regime, and if you are wondering about next week, we will push the mild air up and across many parts of the British Isles and the next few days will not be so much about cold and winter, but mild and wet and cloudy. How about that . No extra charge for the details about the schiehallion mountain. I enjoyed that and im looking forward to the next fa ct that and im looking forward to the next fact in half an hour. I cant hear you, ive unplugged myself i cannot hear you you know what, he is so crafty, charlie. He does that so he doesnt have to do to it. Can he hear us now . He has unplugged himself, hesjust standing there waiting. 9 20am is the time now. Fewer children are taking arts subjects at gcse, and according to some schools theres less time for art in the curriculum. Now the hepworth gallery in wakefield has come up with a plan to put creativity back into the classroom. Theyve commissioned six contemporary artists to produce prints of their work especially for local schools. Its a revival of a scheme first dreamt up in the 19405. But what do the children themselves think . Nick higham went to find out. Archive the sculptor, professorjohn skeaping, has been commissioned. They were some of the foremost artists of the time, likejohn skeaping and feliks topolski. Commissioned in the aftermath of war to make work especially for children. Topolskis this england, hung in School Classrooms across the country. Today theyre collectors items. You can see some in the hepworth gallery in wakefield alongside Six New School prints by contemporary artists. She talks about this self portrait of her when she was a young girl. So she talks about this as her wavy plat. This is the wall of the school, the victorian schoolhouse that she was in and she remembers sort of scratching her name onto the brickwork. The idea, to open childrens eyes to art. They often have quite a narrow idea of what art is and its sort of showing them that art can make you uncomfortable, it can be joyful, it can be so many different things, and i think this is what we really wanted to do with the project. The original artists were given a very simple brief, to make art suitable for children. Among the pictures they came up with, one of a funfair and one of them marching band. The contemporary artists were given exactly the same brief. And what they came up with tells you something about how art has changed in the past 18 years, but also perhaps about changes in the kind of art we think children can appreciate. One of the artists says hes astonished no ones thought of doing this before and thinks children will lap it up. Its not a challenge to make art for children because i think children are probably the most receptive people to contemporary art. They have no preconceptions, they have no intellectual animosity towards art. They just receive it in a very primal, clear way. So, what did these 13 and 14 year olds at wakefields Cathedral Academy make of it all . The octopuses planning to fight humans, attack them. Hes searching for the humans weak points to attack them. Its reading a book about the problem with humans doing something to sea life. Like throwing our rubbish into the ocean. It looks like a building. Like a shoe building. The sort of black is ink and it could be from her pen. Other than that i have no idea. I thought that it was a chimney with the smoke coming out. Kind of looks like a dancing cactus, or something. It looks like somebodys used their imagination, like, someones thought of an animal, and painted it and thought of a name for it. These days, art teaching in schools is being squeezed. The hope is this scheme will help teachers get imagination and creativity back in the classroom. Nick higham, bbc news, wakefield. Were you particularly artistic at school . Really . No i was no iwasa no i was a stick man drawing person. What about you, david . Idida what about you, david . I did a portrait of my art teacher once which he said was rather generous. It was flattering, was it . It was, the only picture of my entire art career at school that i remember. David is here to review the papers this morning. You are going to start with the subject of Cyrille Regis, there has been lots of talk about him this week and he sadly died and people reminiscing about how important he was. I now live in the West Midlands and he means an awful lot to people in the West Midlands. But what youve seen this week is he changed peoples lives, and that was why he was all over every news bulletin in the early part of this week. Thats why im also pleased the historian of the daily mail. There will be a minutes applause at every premier league round today to signify what Cyrille Regis did. When i say changed lives, i was fortunate enough to be one of the founding members of kick it out in the 19905 when it started. Its very difficult, and thats how i got to know cyrille really. Its difficult to explain to young people today what it was actually like, and the treatment and the pain that those quys treatment and the pain that those guys went through. To be a black footballer at that time and place . Absolutely, and they got over it by humourand absolutely, and they got over it by humour and also their ability, their sheer ability and boy, did they have ability did he have ability. Im amazed to hear that he only played five times for england. There were some very five times for england. There were some very good Centre Forwards in those days. He was also a great bloke and people like tim. The tributes have been very fitting. People like tim. What did he say about being one of the first major prominent black footballers . What did he say about what he brought to the game, not the action on the pitch . Thats very interesting and im going to speak to Brendon Batson tomorrow, one of his colleagues in the West Bromwich albion team in the 19805. I think he was pleasantly surprised that they did make such a difference and that kick it out has made the difference at the top level. I am far from saying that racism has disappeared from football, because for sure, racism has disappeared from football, because forsure, i racism has disappeared from football, because for sure, i regret to say if you go to a lot of parks this morning, tomorrow morning, you will find racism still exists. But cyrille changed lives. Its an important story and lovely to hear your thoughts on that. What else to your thoughts on that. What else to you want to pick out . |j your thoughts on that. What else to you want to pick out . I have a story here, and you want to pick out . I have a story here, and i very often like Matthew Parriss columns in the times. I found one of the most Shocking Stories this week is that Life Expectancy in some parts, i think 12 areas were expectancy in some parts, i think 12 areas were mentioned in this country i5 areas were mentioned in this country is actually going down. In kensington and chelsea, a newborn baby boy can expect to live 83 years. In blackpool that would be only 74 years. Male longevity in urban hartlepool has reduced by about a year, similarly female longevity in derbyshire. The explanation for this is not straightforward. Matthew parri5 5ay5 have failing regions of britain been exporting their healthy achievers to the place is already succeeding, with the consequent widening of this gap . It does feel like one of those issues that just doesnt seem gap . It does feel like one of those issues thatjust doesnt seem to change. And what is the alternative . What do you do if you dont encourage people to move . Its that time in the morning where we are going to throw to saturday kitchen soon going to throw to saturday kitchen soon to see what is on the menu. There are some food stories you have picked out. First, this is a familiar story about popular brands shrinking, packet sizes shrinking. Save my digestive biscuits. Thats the story, basically. We are told that mcvities are cutting pack sizes. May be cutting the number of biscuits from 34 to 27. And im assuming not the price . They are cutting the price a bit but the cost per biscuit will rise from 3. 6 8p cutting the price a bit but the cost per biscuit will rise from 3. 6 sp to 4. 2 6p. Less biscuits in a social situation could be crucial. There could be a point when you run out of biscuits. I used to have a biscuit tin in my office at the fa and i discovered that people were coming in and borrowing biscuits. I had an investigation. They were stealing your biscuits they didnt replace them. I guarantee there were situations as negotiations improved enormously by the presence of biscuits. I bet they were an icebreaker in certain circumstances. They were very good. Valentines day, 14 the debris, dont know how many weeks away it is. Unfortunately i will only be able to buy them online for the time being but they are being trialled injapan and south korea, a new variety of chocolate made from red ruby beans and it has a very different taste of kit kat. Those who live on kick outs, and ive known a few in my time. Kitkats. If you like kitkats, you could go to japan because they have so many different flavours. Im not a fan of flavoured chocolate. Chocolate orange, dont wa nt to chocolate. Chocolate orange, dont want to do that. I dont know what that noise was but i dont want to do it. If that is the noise made after chocolate and orange david, thank you very much. Any funny noises in the saturday Kitchen Studio . I hope not. Michel roux the saturday Kitchen Studio . I hope not.

Many Government Services across the United States have shut down after politicians failed to pass new spending laws. Hundreds of thousands of Public Workers are being sent home until a compromise can be found. However, essential Services Including National Security and air Traffic Control will continue. The last Government Shutdown in 2013 lasted 16 days, but its hoped this one will be resolved over the weekend. It was a cynical decision by the democrats to shove aside millions of americans for the sake of irresponsible political gains. A Government Shutdown was 100 avoidable. President trump if youre listening, i am urging you please take yes for an answer. The way things went today, the way you turned from a bipartisan deal, it is almost as if you were rooting for a shutdown. Downing street has confirmed that theresa may will hold face to face talks with President Trump next week. Theyll meet at the World Economic forum in davos.

The pontiff told the people of Puerto Maldonado, a small town on the edge of the amazon forest, that the region had never been so threatened by businesses keen to exploit it for oil, gas, food and gold. Tribal elders called on him to help protect them from being driven from their lands. A huge storm caused havoc across Northern Europe yesterday, resulting in the death of 11 people in germany and the netherlands. This plane struggled to make it on to the runway at dusseldorf airport as it was battered by the winds when it came into land. The rooftop of this Apartment Building was completely torn off in holland. Its the worst storm since records began in 1990. Pedestrians were blown down the street, with one man having his bike torn from his hands. What is happening in australia . We hoped for an epic encounter before former land slant champions Angelique Kerber and Maria Sharapova but it is quite one sided so far to Angelique Kerber. Grand slam champion. It is only been going for about an hour. But we thought we would get you an insight into how the players have warmed up. It appears to be a car park under the main stadium in melbourne. Its all about sharpening their reaction speed, honing those skills. It is now actually 2 2 in the second set. This was earlier on. There was huge relief for world number one simona halep, who survived an epic battle with the unseeded american lauren davis to reach the fourth round she saved three match points, before eventually winning 15 13, in the decider that set alone lasted 2 hours and 22 minutes they were on court for nearly four hours. Chung hyeon has become the first south korean man to reach the last 16 at the Australian Open and he beat the fourth seed Alexander Zverev to make it. After winning in five sets, he could face Novak Djokovic next. But the mens doubles champions of two years ago, are out jamie murray and bruno soares lost in three sets, to the indian pair of leander paes and purav raja. But britains dom inglot is through he and new zealands Marcus Daniell beat the french duo, benoit paire and hugo ny5. Maybe i was premature suggesting Maria Sharapova was out of the match. She is now fighting back. Chelsea are looking for a striker but few thought theyd be interested in signing the former England International peter crouch, whos 36, and hasnt been a first team regular for stoke this season. The clubs have been in contact, we understand, and chelsea have only scored one goal in their last four games. Theyre away to brighton in todays Early Premier League kick off. Stoke are at home to huddersfield and paul lambert will take his seat in the stoke dug out for the First Time Since he was appointed last week. With his side in the relegation zone, he says his First Priority is improving their defence. As a team we have to do better. Stop conceding goals. Going forward, i think we are really good going forward. We could be a little bit more aggressive and close people down a little bit quicker. If we get that weve got a chance. Its the fourth round of the scottish cup today aberdeen versus st mirren is live on bbc one scotland at quarter past twelve. Football focus is on bbc two there. Holders celtic are at home to brechin city, who are bottom of the scottish championship. Theres bad news for the Wales Rugby Union side ahead of next months 6 nations Rhys Priestland is going to miss most of tournament. The bath fly half has been carrying a hamstring injury, and hes now withdrawn from the squad, to continue his rehabilitation. Wales first game is at home to scotland in a fortnight. Its crunch time in the champions cup, with the final weekend of pool games. Exeter, saracens, bath and scarlets are among the sides looking to seal a place in the knockouts today. In the challenge cup, gloucester were already through to the last eight but they missed out on a home tie, with defeat to pau at kingsholm. It finished 34 24 to the french side. The lead is contantly changing hands at the abu dhabi golf championship, with near perfect conditions on the course Thomas Pieters is back in front on 15 under, butjust one shot behind, now, i5 englands matthew fitzpatrick, whos birdied eight of the first ten holes. Close behind are ross fisher, andrewjohnson, Tommy Fleetwood and rory mcilroy. Its semi finals day at the masters snooker john higgins plays mark allen later thats on bbc two and this afternoon on bbc one you can seejudd trump against kyren wilson. Trump beat shaun murphy but trump wasnt murphys only foe in their quarter final he was attacked by a wasp rather surprising for the time of year, and the fact that snooker is an indoor sport his cue made a handy lightsabre. It must be more physical than we thought, snooker. I cannot see it, my eyesight is not good enough. But that apparently just makes my eyesight is not good enough. But that apparentlyjust makes a wasp angrier. Youre very at standing still. Famous for it very good at standing still. And with the Winter Olympics in pyeongchang less than a month away, Lizzy Yarnold just missed out on a medal at the final skeleton world cup event of the season in germany, finishing fourth. Shell be hoping to retain her olympic title next month, after a mixed run of results this season. The gb team for the games is announced on tuesday. Misha mcneill will be hoping to be selected along with mica moore. They are hoping to make it, despite relying on crowd funding, to drive their ambitions. For this exclusive breakfast report, ijoined the team at winterberg in germany for the pain and fear, they go through on a daily basis, all in pursuit of olympic glory. Imaginejumping in a dustbin and being rolled down a mountain at 90 mph. Thats how mica mcneill and mica moore describe what they do. And it may be downhill all the way, they hope, to the Winter Olympics, but the last six months have been an uphill struggle after theirfunding was withdrawn by the sport. So theyve been doing it mostly for themselves, from driving their van between world cup venues, helping to maintain their sled, getting their own food and cooking it in their own rental apartment, all thanks to the £30,000 raised in an appeal to the general public. Its a life most athletes of the World Circuit wouldnt recognise. Its like formula 1 on ice, but like the poor version. We make it glamorous. Yeah, you make it glamorous. Every single day living together, eating together, training together and thats notjust at the bob track, but thats in the gym running as well. Before training and then on a race day as well we walk the track. Its paying off. The team have already achieved fifth in one race this season, the best at a world cup for britain this decade. And, having inspected the track, its up to the lightning skills and reflexes on the way down of mish, the pilot, and then at the back of mica, who applies the brakes. Even so, crashes are part of this sport and yet the team are back competing a week after this. You get those moments where youre like, why am i doing this . Do i really want to continue . People getting hurt, people getting upset, you really disappoint people and yourself. I wouldnt say its enjoyable. Its not like a nice rollercoaster. You get absolutely bashed around so much. I hop in behind her as gently as possible, cause obviously its in the groove so i dont want to effect that too much. And make sure my head is nice and low. So how much do you see going down . Oh, i see absolutely nothing. If im lucky i get to see through that little hole where the brakes are, but i tend to shut my eyes. Im just waiting for mica to shout brake. Now, theres only one way to share their pain. Im at the back. I dont know if thats good or bad. Its very cosy. This has to be one of the most, oh, terrifying things ive done. Thats it were off oh goodness. Oh, no i joined german pilot Wolfgang Kramer and two of his colleagues for a minute of suffering ill never forget. The g forces were pushing my head down so i couldnt look up. I wasnt told you have to time your breathing. It felt like somebody was squeezing my throat right down into my stomach, while at the same time being whacked on the head by a hammer, side to side. Its so rough on your body. You get out at the bottom and you can have a headache, your back is hurting, your body is hurting, youre bumped and bruised. Its not enjoyable that way at all. The fear on the start line to the buzz at the bottom, the whole experience of it is such an adrenaline packed thing. Only afterwards did they tell me the back of a 4 man sled is the worst for vibrations. So spare a thought for all brake men and women. Ive never felt anything quite as violent as that. And never before have i been in such need of a good old hot chilli as the team prepare to move on and do it all again. A5 painful a5 a5 painful as it was at the end it was very a5 painful as it was at the end it was very rewarding. And you should go and have a go because a lot of the tracks would offer that. And good luck to the team. Donald trump has relied on twitter asa donald trump has relied on twitter a5 a key part of his first year at the white house. So has that helped or hindered . Joining us from a Marketing Company now to discuss this, we all know that he tweets a lot. What are you seeing as a pattern . I think twitter for donald trump i5 pattern . I think twitter for donald trump is his Battle Ground but also in his own words what got into power. So when advisers have told him to get off twitter he continually reminds them he would not be in power if it was not for twitter. The pattern is that we have seen twitter. The pattern is that we have seen is that his focus on saying things that are inflammatory and make people feel something is the reason make people feel something is the reason his message even pre election goes so far in comparison to hillary clinton, and in the lead up to the election she was not able to reach even one election she was not able to reach even one tenth of the people that donald trump was reaching. So you can see donald trump was reaching. So you can see how it works in campaigning and getting attention. When you are at the president of the president of at the president of the president of a country, of the United States, does he tweaked well or does he twea ked does he tweaked well or does he tweaked president ially in your opinion . You have to look at the definition of president ial but he 5ay5 definition of president ial but he says he does not, in a piece that he did with fox he said id tweaked non president ially, i am the modern day president and that is his whole campaign value, hes not like the status quo, he is different. You could argue that he is being consistent with that messaging. In my opinion it is not president ial but then that definition is up to the individual. A lot of people who lead more ordinary lives, twitter can be quite dangerous because you can be quite dangerous because you can write something in the heat of the moment and later you need to apologise. That has happened to many people. Donald trump seems to be able to say pretty much anything and put it out there and possibly at a later date slightly backtrack away from the further edges. But he seems to be untouched by the further reaches of what is prepared to put out there. I think a lot of that is because that is what he got elected on and he has not changed. The United States elected him based on this kind of behaviour pattern. And therefore he has continued it because if it is not broken, do not fix it. And he has also challenged the whole idea, in one tweaked he said he went from successful businessman to Top Television star to president of the United States. On my first try, he puts in brackets, and that would qualify not as smart but genius and a very 5ta ble as smart but genius and a very stable genius. He is not without confidence. The reason why tweets like that have done so well is because they are inherently outrageous and egotistical and so farfrom being president ial. So when we farfrom being president ial. So when we read them i imagine many people find it funny but the rest of the world sees him as a bit of a parody. And so my generation share it like wildfire and then we start to make your own wildfire and then we start to make your own jokes from that because of i5 your own jokes from that because of is so outrageous. So on one side although it is a very serious offers, it is incredibly entertaining for a certain generation. I imagine and you know this industry well, going back ten years and if you would have said the president would have been tweeting like this even people in your industry would have said he will not do that. It is chalk and cheese when you look at the way that barack obama conducted himself with class and grace versus donald trump. Donald trump i5 and grace versus donald trump. Donald trump is his successor so really it is almost a juxtaposition between what the president should look like and the extreme type of behaviour that the president can demonstrate. So donald trump would say that hes just being consistent. Good to you, thank you. Heres philip with a look at this mornings weather. We have had a lot of facts from philip this morning, deep and meaningfulfacts. I have become a bit obsessed about this mountain, i knew nothing about it earlier on when i started this morning. But with a bit of research i mentioned that this was the place we re i mentioned that this was the place were back in the 18th century they had tried to establish the mass of the earth can you believe. But a guy involved in those calculations, a mathematician, went on to develop contours and the other guy was the astronomer royal for about 46 years and he got involved with methods to try to establish longitude which of which was of great value to mariners. And then along came another guy called harrison who came up another guy called harrison who came up with chronometers and he got the error down to about ten nautical miles, way above everything that had been developed a to that point. And all because of the chain of events from that mountain. Well back to the here and now, a mixture of rain and snow. Let me show you where we are, wintry showers across the north of scotland. All the way from Northern Ireland through wales and a good pa rt ireland through wales and a good part of england we have a weather front. Cold, dank and miserable with poor visibility. Underneath this blanket of cloud we have trapped in some cold air and it stays like that for a good part of the day. So we have this possibility more on the Higher Ground we think of some snow. Ido Higher Ground we think of some snow. I do not think it will be hugely disruptive and things to improve in Northern Ireland and into the south west through the afternoon. These are the maximum temperatures of the day. And then most of the cloud and rain is taken away from most areas in the first part of the night. Then it turns cold again and then we bring in another belt of cloud and rain. Rain initially because things will change quite markedly. All tied in with this weather front pushing a combination of wet and windy weather in from the atla ntic of wet and windy weather in from the atlantic into that already cold air mass. This means snow and ice are a real problem as we start the date not just real problem as we start the date notjust in real problem as we start the date not just in scotland real problem as we start the date notjust in scotland and the north of england. A dry start in the east but as that moist air comes in up over but as that moist air comes in up over the high ground of both scotla nd over the high ground of both scotland and england that is when we get the conversion to significant lying snow. Of that along the eastern coastal fringes at lower levels. Not an issue in the south because temperatures there are well up. But it will be a problem tomorrow morning as we drift that bit further north. That is me finished with the facts. We have enjoyed them very much thank you. Deciding how much time to take off work after having a baby is a difficult decision for any family, and yesterday the new zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, announced that she plans to take just six weeks Maternity Leave after the arrival of her first child in june. Speaking to the press outside her home, mrs arden said her position was unusual, but not unique. Im not the first woman to work and have a baby. I know these are special circumstances, but there will be many women who will have done this well before i have. I acknowledge those women, im about to sympathise with them a lot, as i sympathise with all women who have suffered morning sickness but i am excited, we are excited. And we know together that we are going to make this work and new zealand is going to help us raise ourfirst child werejoined by mp emma reynolds, who was on an unexpected campaign trailjust weeks after giving birth, and maternity mentor nicki seignot. Good morning. Emma, interesting to have you on the programme. A similar experience for you. You were pregnant and then theresa may announced a general election and you knew you would have to return soon after having your baby. Actually i did not know, i gave birth on good friday and the following tuesday while i was nursing my beautiful baby boy that i minister decided to call a snap election. So my husband and call a snap election. So my husband and i it is safe to say were taken aback by the news. But my husband and my parents and team rallied around and and my parents and team rallied around and i was not able to do much of the day to day campaigning out on the stump for about six weeks but towards the end of the campaign i was out every day talking to constituents and on polling day i walked for eight miles so i would be returned to parliament. And your babyis returned to parliament. And your baby is nine months old i understand. Are you happy with how it all worked out, that you went back to work maybe sooner than you had thought that back in the swing of things. I was lucky because my husband, his employer allowed him to bring forward his share of parental leave. And without any notice, he took some of that in may. I was a lwa y5 took some of that in may. I was always planning to take around six months of Maternity Leave pulled up but it just happened months of Maternity Leave pulled up but itjust happened to be that that started injuly rather than after my son started injuly rather than after my son was born. It was tough, it was very demanding and campaigning i5 very demanding and campaigning i5 very physically demanding a5 very demanding and campaigning i5 very physically demanding as well. And those of us who have done it, childbirth is physically very difficult for a woman and directly afterwards i5 difficult for a woman and directly afterwards is tough as well. Leckie, looking at the situation of the new zealand Prime Minister, he dashed she has made this pledge that she will be back at work in six weeks. |j think it is interesting, it is important that we use this as an opportunity to normalise the practice of working parenthood. The reality is that so many people do that and the choice to go back, i ta ke that and the choice to go back, i take my hat off to my chronic this morning going back on the campaign trail. Six weeks does not seem so bad in the scheme of things but it i5a bad in the scheme of things but it is a demanding job being a parent and much of the time people visit the certainty that they know how things are going to be. But it is normally not like that and it is only on the other side you appreciate the difference it makes. I think it is the opportunity to bring that into the public arena. But she is doing it in a very public way. In some ways she did not have much choice because in the run up to her being elected there were a lot of questions about you have not got children yet, what are you going to do, are you going to have a child while you are Prime Minister. She a lwa y5 while you are Prime Minister. She always had to be quite upfront and more so always had to be quite upfront and more so perhaps than other people about her commitment to herjob. Yes and she was right to make the point that why would you question her when you would not question a male Prime Minister. So there are issues there. In relation to that, presumably you have a lot of support from your family adopted you have any one question your dedication to the cause . And that your attention might be divided whether privately or heard other people having these conversations . Most of my constituents were very supportive on the doorstep of a couple of people said when they heard the news about the election that they assumed i would step down and i said if it was my husband who was the mp you would not ask that and in this case if it was the husband ofjacinda not ask that and in this case if it was the husband of Jacinda Ardern we would not ask these questions. I think shes a true inspiration to pa rents think shes a true inspiration to parents across the world balancing the demands of thatjob with parenthood. I think it is very exciting. Thank you for your time this morning. Thats it from breakfast for today. Christian and rachel will be here from six tomorrow. But for now, from us, goodbye. Have a lovely weekend.
