BBCNEWS Breakfast January 13, 2017

And sarah has the weather. Good morning to you. Lots to talk about in terms of the weather. Snow and ice warnings as well as strong winds and potential flooding around the east coast. A full forecast in 15 minutes. Good morning. First, our main story the army is on standby to help evacuate communities along the east coast, where a tidal surge is expected to hit. The Environment Agency has issued seven severe Flood Warnings, meaning there is a danger to life. Andy moore reports. All along the east coast, floodgates have been closed in preparation for the storm surge. Gale force winds are combining with high tides to threaten coastal defences. In jaywick, in essex, there is a severe Flood Warning, meaning a risk to life. The Emergency Services have arrived in force. The residents are being urged to leave. Evacuation centres a re being urged to leave. Evacuation centres are on standby. Weve got exceptionally strong winds, between 40 exceptionally strong winds, between a0 and 50 miles an hour, potentially with gusts stronger than that going to coincide with a high tide just after lunchtime, so thats why weve put in place this operation to evacuate safely the people of jaywick. Evacuate safely the people of jaywick. Some have already heeded that warning. 0thers jaywick. Some have already heeded that warning. Others are waiting to see. We have had the text messages, saying have you evacuated yet . The neighbours next door get all panicked, because she is not very well next door, and things like that. So i think a lot of people are actually planning to stay. On the Lincolnshire Coast on at skegness, the military have been brought in to help if needed. About 100 soldiers have been based at the police station. Along the coast, those most vulnerable are doing what they can to protect their businesses. There will be a significant rise in the water. But whether it will be enough to top the defences depends on Mother Nature, i suppose, really. And Mother Nature is said to bring more wintry weather today, causing even more Travel Disruption. Nearly all the uk is covered by Weather Warnings for snow or ice or. Or both. In a moment we will get the latest on the snow, but first we can speak to our correspondent leigh milner, who is in Clacton On Sea in essex, where residents are being moved from homes at risk of flooding. What is happening at the moment . Ican i can see a couple of people behind you. Thats right. Im currently standing ina you. Thats right. Im currently standing in a very warm rest centre. Approximately 17 people here, as you can see, six are resting behind me. I have unfortunately woken up this morning but they are very warm, very safe, and that is what the police have been telling them all throughout the night. They were told approximately at apm yesterday afternoon when they received a knock on their door telling them they had to leave their home because they we re to leave their home because they were in fact at risk of flooding. 0vernight here this centre has been open, providing hot drinks, lang gets, lower beds. Some safe haven for these people. This isjust the beginning, the first of 2500 residents who are being told that they are at risk. The fear is that they are at risk. The fear is that the strong winds during the high tide will break the defences, and flood the village, destroying thousands of homes. It is of course a very anxious time for notjust these people but for people along these people but for people along the coast throughout the country. We have already seen the army over in lincolnshire. There are also serve rural Weather Warnings and Flood Warnings around the east coast several Weather Warnings. The advice is to pack a bag of clothes and have essential medical items as well, ensure that valuables and expensive electrical items are put in high places, and if you have any concerns please do contact the police on the 101 number. Thank you, we will get back to you throughout the morning. The weather caused some problems for commuters at rush hour yesterday, with long delays, including queues in both directions on the m25. There are warnings of similar problems today. 0ur Correspondent Simonjones is in a very Snowy Canterbury for us this morning. We had some snow in a few places last night. I can see some around where you are. The snow started coming down here at around 6pm yesterday evening, and it snowed heavily for around three hours. We are told at was about five centimetres, which is an unusual amount in this part of the world. And down there you can see some of the snow. But because it has been freezing overnight it is actually largely turned to ice, and that means it is pretty grim as you are trying to walk around. Very, very sleepy. Weve got more snow down here, and it is not really very nice at all. Now the roads largely have been greeted. This one isnt too bad, the gritters have been out and about throughout the night. This one down here is pretty much sheet ice so down here is pretty much sheet ice so not nice to drive on. The advice is if you are driving go very slowly. We have had a few incidents, pa rt slowly. We have had a few incidents, part of the 20 is closed because the lorry has blocked that road and 20. We are told there could be more snow today, starting in scotland, heading for the north of england and then heading for the east. So we have a situation of snow, we have ice, we have strong winds. The advice is take care and stay indoors if you dont have to be out on this. Thank you very much. Simonjones is in canterbury for us. We will be taking a look at the weather as it develops throughout the morning. The number of men in low paid, part time work has increased dramatically over the last 20 years. New research by the Institute For Fiscal Studies has found that one in five low paid men aged 25 55 now work part time. That means Wage Inequality for men has risen over two decades. But for women, the opposite is the case, as our Business Correspondent jonty bloom reports. Top earning men in the professions normally work full time. In fact, only 5 of them work part time. But in comparison, amongst the lowest paid men, often in areas like catering and hospitality, 20 now work half time. And that number has increased fourfold in the last 20 yea rs. Increased fourfold in the last 20 years. That has meant that Wage Inequality for men has increased, as higher paid, full time staff have done far better than low paid, part time workers. But for women, the opposite is the case. For women, Earnings Growth has been consistently higher than that for men over the last 20 years, and more of them are in work. For men, particularly the lowest paid, theyve actually seen falls in the numbers of hours of work, which has suppressed the amount of pay that they get. It is far from clear why low paid men are increasingly working part time. It might be because they want to, although that seems unlikely. The fact that 60 of the low paid and part time jobs are either in retail, wholesale, Restau Ra Nts either in retail, wholesale, restaurants or hospitality might suggest that men who previously worked in low paid but secure and full time jobs, worked in low paid but secure and full timejobs, in sectors worked in low paid but secure and full time jobs, in sectors like manufacturing, have lost that work, and instead have been forced into the traditionally poorly paid and less secure Services Sector of the economy. A week to go until the new american president is sworn in, and donald trump seems to be at odds with some of his key Cabinet Nominees on some of the vital questions facing the new administration. His choice for the cia leader has endorsed the work of the Us Intelligence community, hours after it was criticised by the President Elect. Also, the potential Defence Secretary said moscow posed a threat in europe, after mr trump called for warmer relations with russia. 0ur Correspondent Laura Bicker reports from washington. The Nations Capital awaits a new commander in chief. But, as the gates go up for expectant crowds, donald trump is still facing questions about intelligence, suggesting moscow tried to help put him in washington. The President Elects choice for cia directors said that he valued the judgement of the staff he hopes to lead. Its pretty clear there was russian involvement in efforts to hack information and have an impact on american democracy. Im very clear eyed about what the Intelligence Report says. That view on russia is more hawkish than what donald trump has said so far. His fiercest criticism has mostly been aimed at spy agencies. He accused Us Intelligence agencies of leaking unverified reports that the kremlin gathered Compromising Material on donald trump, with an intent to blackmail him. The dossier is supposed to have come from a british spy, christopher steele. Donald trump announced it as fake news. But Christopher Steeles former colleague says he is reliable. Chris was a strong, middle ranking sas officer. I do not quite agree this was a subpar report. He has been careful to find as many sources to back it up, but also to make it clear these are stories, and the Intelligence Report lacks killer evidence. This controversy is likely to continue long after inauguration day, and has cast a shadow over Donald Trumps administration before he has even taken the oath of office. Laura bicker, bbc news, washington. And it has emerged overnight that christopher steele, the british man who wrote a dossier of lurid claims about donald trump, was hired by the england 2018 world cup bid team. It is believed he was brought in to provide information on world footballs governing body, fifa. Emotional scenes during a ceremony at the white house last night, as president 0bama surprised his Vice President with the countrys highest civilian honour. Mr 0bama said he was awarding the president ial Medal Of Freedom Tojoe Biden for his faith in his fellow americans and a lifetime of service. Mr biden said the honour had been a complete surprise. More needs to be done to protect patients from incompetent locum doctors, according to a review by the General Medical Council. The regulator says a reluctance to share Information Weaknesses in checks is allowing some poorly performing stand in doctors to go undetected. 0ur Health Correspondent Elaine Dunkley has more. The carmaker Fiat Chrysler has been accused of violating Pollution Laws in the united states. The Us Environmental Protection Agency says the manufacturer equipped tens of thousands of diesel jeep and dodge vehicles with software that regulates emissions results. The firm has denied doing anything illegal, but has seen its Share Price Fall by more than 15 . Meeting the target of resettling 20,000 vulnerable Syrian Refugees in the uk by 2020 remains a significant challenge, according to a group of mps. Around a,500 refugees have already been resettled, but the Public Accounts Committee says it is not yet clear whether survivors of torture or violence are getting the specialist help they need. The number of people changing who they buy their electricity from reached a record high in 2016. Research from the Industry Body Energy Uk shows that nearly five Million People changed their Electricity Supplier last year, and a fifth of those who switched in december went to a smaller supplier rather than one of the big six. It is the highest number of switches since energy uk began publishing their data in 2013. We will be speaking to Energy Expert Stephen Murray about the figures in around 30 minutes. Killer whales and humans have something in common, according to research. They are two of only three mammals that go through the menopause. A a0 year study of a population of orcas has shown scientists why any species would evolve to stop having babies early in life. The Research Uncovered the crucial Role Grandmother Whales play in theirfamily pod, and that their daughters offspring has a higher chance of survival once the grandmother stops reproducing. Yesterday we spoke about a nine year old british boy who melted hearts while competing in the spanish version ofjunior masterchef, after his fish and chip dish didnt quite go to plan. Well, all was not lost. 0scarjefferson, who moved to spain with his family two years ago, was invited to cook for the British Ambassador to spain the following evening. Lets hope it wasnt a repeat of his nightmare moment in the masterchef kitchen. Moat that was the moment when it all went wrong for him. He had a bit ofa hug, all went wrong for him. He had a bit of a hug, and anyway, he has a lot of a hug, and anyway, he has a lot of attention, and as we say, he has gone on the other people. Hopefully itll be right. We have all done that in the kitchen, spilt the source, have a bad moment. Graham taylor, one of the nicest people you will ever meet. The sort of person you want to be your brother or your dad. You can imagine what it was like for Young Players asa what it was like for Young Players as a football manager. Reassuring, so warm. As a football manager. Reassuring, so warm. No ego. These days of Press Conferences for football managers, he was always asking about you. Can i get you a cup of coffee . Dont worry, you are far too busy. But a great club manager as well. But he was haunted. I remember reassuring him here that what happened when he was manager shouldnt taint his reputation, it was that moment redefined the way the press deal with england managers, when he was depicted as they turn it on the back page of the sun. He said it stayed with him forever and it to find his four years in charge. He was a fantastic and dumber manager in terms of watford and aston villa. He was a fantastic manager. Sir eltonjohn, who brought Graham Taylor to watford at the start of their rise to the top, said it was like he had lost a brother. The former watford, aston villa and england manager is believed to have suffered a heart attack at the age of 72. His family say it was totally unexpected.

Not surprisingly he is all of the all over the front pages. The table lookup the daily mail. A lot of interest in this. An ex mi6 man, who has corn into hiding to make gone into hiding. Questions over what he knew about the dossier. It is said he shared the information with quite a lot of people in the run up to the renovation by one of the websites more recently. A lot of speculation about that. The express has a story about whats going on with the weather at the moment, saying britain will be plunged back into the deep freeze next week. Of course we will be talking to sarah to find out whats going on. Send us any pictures if you are affected. These are some of the pictures on the front of the daily telegraph. That was cumbria.
