Neil lewis examined the device during an inquiry into government leaks in 2008.

Taking a look at the idea that the president has been rowling over social media with the Prime Minister rowing. Some say he is not welcome in the uk. This is the front page of the telegraph. It is quite interesting. Lots of people work on the bank of england and one of the policymakers on the Financial Policy Committee was doing a speech, saying size of oui was doing a speech, saying size of our debt relative to the economy is still pretty big. And even though they said in a budget it is expected a portion of our economy will come down so on, we still cant be too casual about it. They say there needs to be some wriggle room. You cant forget about debt. If you start borrowing more, it is one to keep an eye on. On the front of the ft. Keep an eye on. On the front of the ft, an interesting one from. A bit ofa ft, an interesting one from. A bit of a dingdong betweenJeremy Corbyn and the big banks.

I wonder if it puts the opponents. Jukebox repertoire. All this week weve been shining a light on special Educational Needs, looking at the challenges faced by disabled children and their families.

And i know people came back especially to go to your till, which is brilliant. Thank you for coming in. We are staying here all morning, which is fantastic. We will find out how everything is the same, but as you can see just a little bit different. We know lots of people are trying to get places for their children in schools like this in england. In scotla nd schools like this in england. In scotland the emphasis is really on mainstreaming those children. Our correspondent went to find out how that works. Singing it is morning at this Primary School in edinburgh. The time of timetable for these children in the fourth europe by marie is music, spelling, storytime and their daily mile of exercise. Un has Cerebral Palsy and takes part in all of the classes and activities. He has really good friends here. Ewan. And he has 1 to 1 help throughout the school day. You spend a lot of time together . Yes. We are together every morning. Weve been together every morning. Weve been together every morning. Weve been together every morning for about three years. He isa every morning for about three years. He is a happy boy and he enjoys the school. In scotland, the aim is to keep children with Additional Needs in Mainstream Schools. In england has been an increase in special schools and fewer children kept in mainstream ones. Ewans mumjane says the scottish system has worked well for her son. It has given him a sense of belonging in the community and a sense of worth and respect. He is with his brother and sister. His independence has increased. And he really seems to enjoy it . Loved school. A quarter of children in scotla nd school. A quarter of children in scotland have whats called Additional Support needs, about one in seven, there is a much broader definition here which includes family circumstances, health, disability. And although the number receiving extra help in scotland has in recent years gone up, the number of specialist support teachers has dropped. There are certainly is a squeeze and there is pressure on the workforce in schools to meet the broad range of needs of their pupils. There is also exceptionally Good Practice and so it is the exceptionally Good Practice taking place that we need to really learn from. These mums who take their children to the yard in a play centre for disabled children told me their priority is the right to choose. I want an Autism School for my son, which has the small classes of about six that he will get the best education because at the moment when he is in a mainstream environment he is depressive and he is overwhelmed. For our daughter it was clear that she got a lot more from mainstream because what they we re from mainstream because what they were offering was more appropriate to how she learns and what she wanted to learn about. The Scottish Government says children should be schools where their needs are best match. Either in special schools or mainstream ones. The local school has worked out well for ewan. His family wouldnt want it any other way. So some people clearly enjoying school. I want to know a little bit of background about the school. Tell us of background about the school. Tell us about the pupils you how. This is a school for young people, children and young people, with significant additional learning needs. Some stu d e nts additional learning needs. Some students have more severe learning difficulties, some have a profound learning difficulty, and many have associated difficulties such as autism. You told me little bit earlier that everything is the same but a little bit different. What do you mean by that . Obviously weve got fergus. We think all the time about what we do for each individual child in school to make it a little bit more unique and a little bit more personalised than he would do ina more personalised than he would do in a Mainstream School and really think about the environment, the curriculum we offer and how we can get this tiny steps of learning to really build up so that all children make outstanding progress. White we cant ignore this young man. You look after him. Tell us about his job here. He is here to do what linda wants us to do. We are guided very much by the teachers in terms of which students he should be with and he just loves his time here. And there are all sorts of different ways hes used . There are all sorts of different ways hes used . It can be as a therapy dog, as a traditional way of being calm and enjoying the company of the animal, and for all the people who have maybe fears of animals and dogs its a way of ensuring that overtime they become used to that and can manage to say walked past it on the street, which will have a massive impact on their life or the life of their family. All sorts of different reasons. And you celebrate difference here . We celebrate difference. It is a core value. Different is fantastic, being unique is fantastic.

Eve says shes delighted to have basil back, and hopes the other people who lost their teddies get them back too. Ive remember my first world cup draw. Once they drew iran and peru i was looking at the countries and cities. Also it was holland but i knew a bit more about them. Its like christmas for a lot of football fans. Its really interesting. Russia is the Biggest Country in the world, 11 different time zones. Incredible. So england could travel 10,000 miles if they get the worst draw, or 3000 if the draw is kind to them. Its not just draw, or 3000 if the draw is kind to them. Its notjust about the teams they draw with. Usually we talk about altitude being the problem. Now it isjetlag. And also the heat in somewhere like sochl and also the heat in somewhere like sochi. And the language problems in the far east of russia. An incredible mixture of culture. The draw is taking place inside the famous kremlin at about 3pm this afternoon. Our Sports Correspondent reports. It is russias moment in the spotlight. The final rehearsals for the world cup draw ensuring nothing is left to chance. Some of the biggest names in the game as you to lend at hand to. Among them englands1960s heroes lend at hand to. Among them englands 19605 heroes who hope lend at hand to. Among them england519605 heroes who hope the current squad can englands19605 heroes who hope the current squad can make their mark next summer. If they can get this thing together, playing with each other and for each other, then theres always a chance. England will brace themselves in a Village North of st petersburg. The manager is looking forward to what lies ahead. We dont have many players that have won major trophies. But the future is very exciting and there is a great challenge for this group to see how far they can go. Star attractions both on and off the pitch will draw thousands of fans here to russia next summer. Organisers say everyone will be welcome for what they say will be a festival of football, nevertheless the game has had problems in the recent past, specifically with racism and violence, but campaigners are cautiously optimistic that things may be improving. Weve moved from a position of denial to a state where the russians understand that they need to clean up the stadiums, deal with some of the fans who are the hard core, deal with some of the fans who are the ha rd core, otherwise deal with some of the fans who are the hard core, otherwise people wont know when to come and it may come back to them in the world cup will stop the david the focus is on the big draw with all the teams keen to discover their foot all in fate. Foot all in fate. In rehearsals, england drew against brazil twice. Lets have a look at what we think based on the fifa rankings would be the best draw for england. Russia according to the rankings are the weakest team in the whole cop edition. But it has the home advantage. Competition. But they qualify as one of the top seeds because they are the host. The dream draw would be russia, senegal who arent going through a very good time at the moment and saudi arabia. Is that based on the ones that are in theory the worst teams . Yes and if you got russia you couldnt draw another european side. The worst laws would be germany, the worlds top team at the moment, and the likes of costa rica, knocked england out of the last world cup, and nigeria, who are going really well. That would be the worst Case Scenario. But youve got to take into account the travel as well. What would you prefer, to watch england play really good teams and this really good football, or watch them play lesser teams in terms of rankings and just get through .

You just want your team to get through the first group stage. A5 through the first group stage. As you know, im no expert on foot all knowledge, but in line with nagas thinking, its not always a good thing to play people who are worse than you early on because your standards possibly drop and you start on a lower level than you might of the hill have played if you start against one of the big guys. You would probably make a much better foot all a manager than you would probably make a much betterfoot all a manager than me. Do you will be celebrating if they draw brazil .

As our series into special Educational Needs continues, today were looking at speech, language and communication needs. Breakfasts Jayne Mccubbin has been investigating the issue. Explained the room you are in. This is specifically designed to help people who have those kinds of issues with communications . This is kind of a full immersive experience. We are in the rainforest. We are transported. What can we hear . The rain tinkling through the leaves. Back ground song. And this brings all of your geography lessons to life. Give away if to everybody. I know you have lots of family watching. Hello, mum and dad. Hit the blue beam. This is how immersive it is. Watch this. We did that before. He nearly fell off his chair. More on this in a minute. 1. 4 million kids. Are you ok . 1. 4 million kids. Are you ok . 1. 4 million kids, two to three in every class, have speech, language and communication problems. The question is, are they getting the help they need . Report out today says they are not. That report is from the royal couege not. That report is from the Royal College of speech and language therapist and the communication charity that gave us exclusive access to these new figures that is access to these new figures that is a problem out there and it needs fixing. Have a look at this. Harry is happy and helpful but with profound orders and he struggles to communicate. Despite being twice assessed as having a problem, he has never been under the treatment of an nhs speech and language therapist. You have pushed and pushed, havent you . Pushed and pushed. We have a multiagency meeting every 12 weeks for harry. Each time weve attended there is never a speech therapist, whereas a speech therapist. The same thing as happened for 18 months. Rather than therapy for harry the nhs has offered training, which they tell me can be very beneficial. She now pays for private therapy. Iming a good position because i can do that but a lot of say its they cant. Here in birmingham they also feel badly let down. A5 class starts the teacher tries to hold their attention. A bit more interested in our camera. Most are eventually able to follow the song and joining the action is. But some really struggle. Notjust to speak but to pay attention, to understand and follow instruction, all part of a speech, language and communication needs. Its frustrating for us because we get children that almost feel theyve been written off because sometimes pa rents been written off because sometimes parents have already noticed there isa parents have already noticed there is a problem and theyve tried to get help, theyve gone and nothing has happened. This is why the school brought in diana. She was part of a speech and Language Team in the nhs before being laid off with a number of colleagues five years ago. Developing speech and language in children is in the target, like cancer or heart or diabetes. Children is in the target, like cancer or heart or diabetesm children is in the target, like cancer or heart or diabetes. If you do get the speech and language right, what else goes wrong . You dont learn to read and write. Ten yea rs dont learn to read and write. Ten years ago, the government commissioned a report which flagged problems here and led to promises to deliver Better Services for children is like this. The department of health says there are around 160 more therapies today and the government has an extra 2 million into therapy. But look at this from a recent ofsted and qc due report. Today a new survey finds only 15 of pa rents today a new survey finds only 15 of parents and therapist believe there are enough services in their area. They say this will have consequences. Data shows that over 60 at least have communication difficulties in the youth justice system, but made any Vulnerable Group of children, children with Mental Health issues, children that are excluded or on the fringe of the excluded, and the youth justice system, the majority have communication difficulties. Communication underpins everything, from reading and writing to making friends and making a future. Get it wrong and many kids will flounder. We know resources on the nhs are stressed and there is an increased demand across the board and a problem recruiting. Lets chat to the kids. Thank you so much for waking up so early to talk to us.

Just the small chance of wintriness on high ground first thing. But all of this will fall as rain. Showers fade in the afternoon. Brightness and sunshine emerging. Top temperatures between 5 7 celsius. The northerly wind will ease through the day, so not feeling quite so cold. Temperatures will dip away quite readily at first. Lows of 2 3 celsius overnight, but then we start to see milder air and perhaps a few outbreaks of drizzle coming through. Thats a warm front, so it will drag with it some milder air. But it will take some time to feel the benefit of this tomorrow. There will be a westerly wind, perhaps a few outbreaks of drizzle, but otherwise mostly dry. It will feel quite damp and quite cold for much of the day tomorrow. By the time we get to sunday there should be more brightness and we have highs of 10 degrees.

It is the start of the meteorological winter, so ive come to the Royal Pavilion in brighton to get into the mood. After a frosty and icy start to friday it is set to get milder. The forecast coming up in15 get milder. The forecast coming up in 15 minutes. The forecast on ice skates, who could want more . Good morning, first our main story. A former Scotland Yard detective has told bbc news he was shocked by the amount of pornography on a parliamentary computer seized from the office of the first secretary of state, damian green. Neil lewis examined the device during an inquiry into government leaks in 2008. Mr green has vehemently denied looking at pornography at work. Mr lewis, a retired Computer Forensics specialist, who hasnt spoken out before said analysis of the way the computer had been used left him in no doubt whatsoever that the material had been accessed by mr green. Hes theresa mays oldest and most trusted political ally. But now damian green is facing a battle for political survival, amid claims he viewed pornography on his work computer. Mr green has vehemently denied the allegations. I had an exemplary record. But now the detective who examined the device has given me his account. The shocking thing was that, as i was viewing it, i noticed a lot of pornography thumbnails, which indicated web browsing. But a lot, there was a lot of them. So i was surprised to see that on a parliamentary computer. How many images did you see . Thousands. Thousands of pornographic images . Thumbnail images. The computer had been seized in 2008 after police raided damian greens offices. The mp, then in opposition, was the subject of an unrelated enquiry into home office leaks. He was never charged. How can you be sure it was damian green who was accessing the pornography . There is a phrase, you cant put fingers on a keyboard. So i cant say that. But the computer was in mr greens office, on his desk. Logged in, his account, his name. In between browsing pornography he was sending emails from his account, his personal account. Reading documents, writing documents. The Cabinet Office is examining the pornography claims as part of a wider enquiry into mr greens conduct. But neil lewis has not been asked to give evidence. A spokesperson for damian green said it would the inappropriate for mr green to comment while the Cabinet Office investigation was continuing. However, the spokesperson said that damian green had mr green maintains his innocence. We can speak now to our political correspondent, iain watson. I understand you have more on some of what is coming out from damian greens side, we saw the statement a moment ago . Yes, effectively, damian green is not commenting on tour this Cabinet Office enquiry, this whitehall enquiry into his conduct, actually reports. But friends of his are speaking this morning and they are speaking this morning and they are saying to make things, fundamentally. First of all, they are gobsmacked that Senior Police officers, former police officers, are putting into the Public Domain confidential information which was obtained by undertaking a completely separate enquiry, not an enquiry into pornography. They believe they have breached a duty of confidentiality and they believe there is a campaign to get damian green. Secondly, as far as i understand it, until that enquiry reports, i have been told that despite the new allegations this morning and the interview with neil lewis, who examined that computer, damian green is minded to stay in office. He is not going to fall on his sword simply because of these new allegations. And as we heard, officially, he will deny all of the allegations put to him. But also, his friends are saying, look, even the police admit that anything that was found was legal. It didnt break the law. So they are saying, do not expect their ministerial resignation. They want the focus to shift back onto the police and the motivation those police officers, putting this into the Public Domain in the first place. Health inspectors have ordered a review of all nhs Radiology Services in england after a hospital in portsmouth failed to spot three cases of lung cancer.

In breaking news this morning, news about the royal bank of scotland, announcing it is closing 259 of its branches. Sean has been looking at the details. Yes, they have come through in the last few minutes. There is a bit of a breakdown between 60 to rbs branches and 197 natwest branches, with rbs owning natwest. We do not have exact details of those locations were, across the country, they have been closed yet. There is no stopping them Branch Closures stories. We heard the day before yesterday, lloyds ba n k heard the day before yesterday, lloyds bank closing some branches around the country as well. Monkhorst around 800 range closures around the country. On course for around the country. On course for around 800 Branch Closures. More and more, customers are using everyday banking online or on mobile. 40 fewer customers are using branches. And actually, mobile transactions of whatever it is people are doing online have increased a 73 since to 14. So in the last three years they have nearly doubled the amount of transactions that customers are doing on their mobile phones. The concerns about all of this, it is always about our communities are affected when banks close down, and where they can afford to lose these doubling up of branches if they have done. So, the city, kind of, that perhaps absorbs those forces better than smaller areas . Yes. Definitely. Urban areas, you are going to be more likely to have a branch to go to. The post office has tried to ta ke to. The post office has tried to take over a lot of those services. If you are in a small village and you have a post office, the chances are that you will be able to deposit money into your bank account through a post office and use lots of the service is there. But there is now a question around how many villagers have post offices. It will be interesting, we have heard so much about closures, if you actually see about closures, if you actually see a shift in accounts because people value banks. And of course those 680 potential redundancies, alongside these Bank Closures as well. Which staff have been informed about. Sean, thank you. The time now is 7 10am. All this week on the brea kfast we 7 10am. All this week on the breakfast we have been discussing special Educational Needs, looking at the challenges faced by disabled children and their families.

Today, louise is spending the morning at a special school in manchester, seeing how teachers then make sure that every child fulfil their potential. You are next to the Swimming Pool now . Good morning. Yes, you know that if there is a Swimming Pool i am virtually in it, as you can see. This is an amazing school. It is a special school, piper hill high in manchester. We are here all morning, getting amazing access to what they are doing with children here. We know from our own research on has this week, and thank you to so many people who have gotten in touch, that many parents are trying to get their kids into schools like this in england. You can see this morning what kind of difference that can make to some children. That is what weve been studying this morning. Amazing to see the work that is going on. One of the things we have in asking is, what about mainstream education . Is an emphasis on that in scotla nd education . Is an emphasis on that in scotland in particular. Lorna gordon has been to investigate how that works there. Park the angels sing. It is morning atjuniper hill Primer School in edinburgh. On the timetable for these children in their fourth year, timetable for these children in theirfourth year, music, spelling and storytime. And their daily mile of exercise. Ewan, who has Cerebral Palsy, takes part in all the classes and activities. He has really good friends here. What is a name . Thats phoebe . And he has 1 to 1 help throughout the school day. You and you spend a lot of time together . We are together quite a lot, every morning, forever three years now. He isa morning, forever three years now. He is a happy wee boy. He enjoys himself at school. In scotland, the aim is to keep children with Additional Support needs in Mainstream Schools. In england, there has been an increase in special schools and fewer children keptin special schools and fewer children kept in mainstream ones. Uns mother jane says these cottage system has worked well for her sun. Of the scottish system. It has given him a sense of belonging to his community, a sense of worth and respect. He is with his brother and sister. His independence has increased. And he seems to really enjoy it. He loved school. A quarter of children in scotla nd school. A quarter of children in scotland have what is called here Additional Support needs. In england, one in seven. But there is a broader definition here, which includes family circumstances, health, disability, and though the number receiving extra help in scotla nd number receiving extra help in scotland has in recent years gone up, the number of special support teachers has dropped. There is absolutely a squeeze. There is pressure on the workforce in the schools, to meet the broad range of needs of people 5. But there is also exceptionally Good Practice. Exceptionally Good Practice taking place which we need to really learn from. These mothers, who take their children to be yard and Adventure Play Centre for their children, say that their priority is the right to choose. I want an Autism School for my son, which has a small classes of about six, so he will get the best education. At the moment he is in the mainstream environment. He is depressive. He is overwhelmed. For our daughter, it was clear that she got a lot more from mainstream, because what they were offering was appropriate to how she learns and what she wants to learn about. The Scottish Government says children should be school where their needs are best met, either in special schools in mainstream ones. The local school has worked out well for you and. His family would not want it any other way. Lovely to see ewan enjoying school. It is connor, who is swimming with his teacher. Also rowan. We are in the Therapy School pool. Adam, can i interrupt with a second . We say about this school that everything is the same but a little bit different and this is a really key illustration of that. Tell us a bit about this room and this pool. Its brilliant. It is a therapy pool, so its really warm. All our students get different benefits. Some stu d e nts get different benefits. Some students get benefits for their muscles and joints. Other students like connor and rowan, we work on basic swimming skills and confidence skills, getting them used to the water and comfortable. Obviously its a really sensory environment for them as well. They all absolutely for them as well. They all a bsolutely love for them as well. They all absolutely love it and the staff enjoy it. Its a really good experience for everybody. A perfect environment for us to work towards the swimming targets and communication targets and physiotherapy targets. Of course winning is a really important life skill, isnt it . Swimming. Winning is a really important life skill, isnt it . Swimming. It is. Im very keen swimmer as well. It is important that students are co mforta ble important that students are comfortable in the water and developing these basic skills, so that they can even just access pools outside the school and enjoy themselves in local facilities and things as well. I am a really keen swimmer and pools. Rowan, things as well. I am a really keen swimmerand pools. Rowan, it is lovely to see you, rowan. I was just saying that pools can in some ways be quite intimidating places, so presumably thats another reason why they are here getting used to the environment . Absolutely. And by getting used to this environment we can getting used to this environment we ca n ofte n getting used to this environment we ca n often ta ke getting used to this environment we can often take them out of school, some of the more independent learners do well go into the local pool fulsome in lessons as well. So theres a really good slimming Programme Across the school swimming. You talked a bit about the physiotherapy. That is presumably an important part of the school as well . Very important. The physios worked with the school and they set targets and, like i said before, this is the perfect sensory environment. Theres the heat for the muscles, so they can achieve those physio targets. And its great fun. Its been lovely watching you. Ill let you get on with it. We are here all morning and this really is an extraordinary school. Its wonderful to see whats going on. Weve been really touched by the many messages youve sent us. Do keepin many messages youve sent us. Do keep in touch this morning. Hopefully we can answer some of your questions as well. Thanks very much. Lovely hearing those stories. And it is very much concentrating throughout the week on some of the success stories, because huge impacts can be made on young people in particular.

Winter arrives and the temperatures are on the up. Back to you. Thanks very much. Shortly after their engagement was announced on monday, prince harrys fiance Meghan Markle revealed it was a shared passion for social change that got him a second date. Later today, the couple will undertake their first joint royal visit in nottingham. Were joined now by allan bryce, editor of royal life magazine, and by Dominic Edwardes from the Terrence Higgins trust, one of the charities that the pair will visit. You must be very excited as this is the first high profile visit by a newly engaged couple . We are absolutely thrilled that prince harry and Meghan Markle have chosen to come to nottingham to ourfair this afternoon. It really underlines his great support for hiv as a cause. No one can underestimate the power of having such a high profile couple, where the media is interested and many people in the country and the world are watching. It raises the profile of the work you are doing. Absolutely. Its invaluable. Rinse harry has been fantastic at raising awareness around hiv prince harry. And highlighting the amazing progress thats been made in the fight against hiv in the uk. Give us a sense of how you think since monday this news has been received and how they are already starting to make their mark betts it was obvious that they would hit the ground running . It was obvious. She has already been involved in plenty of charity work and the fact that she has now got to get to know britain, her adopted country, so she will be doing stuff for the Royal Foundation. She is discovering the country now and she will be going around and taking part in engagements. She is immediately making her mark because she is so photogenic, she is camera savvy, she is really the dream. Unlike Princess Diana or even sarah ferguson. She is used to the limelight and the paparazzi and Everything Else and she handles it so well. How much guidance will she be given, now that it has been officially announced that she will be part of the royal family . How much guidance will she get in terms of how to behave and how to speak . A5 get in terms of how to behave and how to speak . As an american she is perhaps more outspoken and more casual than we are used to. In an interview the other day i would say she probably said more than harry did. So she obviously knows her own mind and although she will accept the guidance i think there will be a change coming from her as well. She will influence them. She is not going tojust sit back and say, yes, i will do everything im told. Im sure there will be a bit of quick quote back and forth. She is an independent woman and she already has the media exposure, and she knows how to work a camera. There will be things she has to learn about. She is learning. She will learn the geography of the country, for a start. Shes also got this thing. Public displays of affection and that sort of thing are out. Once they are married, thats going to. So there will be protocol things. Im sure they will do things on their own style. In some ways the visit today is very much on zero from prince harry to his mother. A nod. We will remember her involvement in hiv and how brave it was when she made her visits to various places and engaged in that discussion. Absolutely. I think Princess Dianas compassion was really remarkable. But the situation for People Living with hiv todayis situation for People Living with hiv today is different and prince harry and Meghan Markles focus is on combating the stigma people with hiv face and encouraging them to come forward to test. Because the news is good for hiv in britain today. Weve seen a 20 reduction in the number of people diagnosed with hiv in the last year, so this is really part of the good news story and their passion and commitment is vital in getting people to understand the new world of hiv. On a slightly more trivial but nonetheless fascinating note, have you been given any guidance on how. What terminology you should use around the new royal couple . Do you know how to address them . I havent. We havent been given guidance and i think thats pa rt given guidance and i think thats part of their charm, that weve not been given protocol or guidance. So ive been referring to prints have prince harry and Meghan Markle, or m5 markle. If anyone can give me guidance, that would be wonderful. Or m5 markle. If anyone can give me guidance, that would be wonderfullj guidance, that would be wonderful. am sure if you arejust nice guidance, that would be wonderful. am sure if you are just nice to them they will appreciate that thank you very much. Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. Good morning from bbc london news. Im victoria hollins. Bereaved families and survivors of the fire at Grenfell Tower have launched a petition calling on theresa may to take urgent action to restore their faith in the Public Inquiry.

The eltonjohn aids foundation with lambeth, southwark and Lewisham Councils and the nhs to try to reduce hiv transmission in south east london. Our government has just gone through a period of heavy austerity. The nhs is a strained resource and weve proven to them and taken them an economic model that says if we invest in undetected hiv now it actually saves the nhs money in the long run. So were bringing investment in up front to look after the costs of doing that and want someone is on treatment and weve protected them it benefits the pay out much more. Lets have a look at the travel situation now. Theres a relatively good service on the tubes this morning, with just the central line having issues. On the roads the a40 has queues out of town towards the polish war memorial in ruislip, following a collision. There are queues on the m25 clockwise towards qe2 bridge, following a collision. In the city, Cannon Street is closed outside Cannon Street station because of a gas leak. Thats causing delays between monument and bank. Lets have a check on the weather now. Good morning. We are now into december, its the first day of the meteorological winter. But ironically its not going to feel as cold as it did yesterday, but still a chilly feeling day. Weve still got that northerly wind. There will be some brightness and sunshine around at times and temperatures to start the morning are above freezing across the board. Some early showers around. Just the small chance of wintriness on high ground first thing. But all of this will fall as rain. Showers fade in the afternoon. Brightness and sunshine emerging. Top temperatures between 5 7 celsius. The northerly wind will ease through the day, so not feeling quite so cold. Temperatures will dip away quite readily at first. Well see lows of 2 3 celsius overnight, but then we start to see milder air and perhaps a few outbreaks of drizzle coming through. Thats a warm front, so it will drag with it some milder air. But it will take some time for us to feel the benefit of this tomorrow. There will be a westerly wind, perhaps a few outbreaks of drizzle, but otherwise mostly dry. An awful lot of cloud around. It will feel quite damp and quite cold for much of the day tomorrow. By the time we get to sunday there should be more in the way of brightness and we have highs of 10 degrees.

I wasjust saying, he was telling us about the ice, he was on the ice, it is all about ice. telling us about the ice, he was on the ice, it is all about ice. I have a spectacle for you. Gary lineker inside the kremlin for bbc two, presenting the world cup draw to the world. It is not often that i envy gary lineker. But about. It is a Christmas Eve for football fans. Kicking off notjust Christmas Eve for football fans. Kicking off not just learning about the football on the teams they are going to play, but where you are going to play, but where you are going to play, but where you are going to play. I remember learning all about mendoza, was aria it is a geography lesson as well as about football. The russians will be hoping to turn it into a spectacle. It isa hoping to turn it into a spectacle. It is a set piece event, a marker ahead of what is a significant moment. Yes, they were this to be a real selling point for their country, notjust real selling point for their country, not just in real selling point for their country, notjust in football terms, but is efficient, powerful, all the wonderful things you can find out about russia through football. They will hope to avoid what happened in spain in1982 when will hope to avoid what happened in spain in 1982 when it went badly wrong, but there are computers these days. Its the moment that really kicks off the countdown to the world cup the draw at the kremlin begins at around 3 00 this afternoon, and our sports news correspondent Richard Conway will be watching. It is russias moment in the spotlight, with final rehearsals for the world cup draw ensuring nothing is left to chance. Some of the biggest names in the game are here to lend a hand too. Amongst them, one of englands 1966 heroes, who hopes the current squad can make their mark next summer. If they can get this team together, playing with each other, for each other, then theres always a chance. England will base themselves in a Village North of st petersburg, with the manager looking forward to what lies ahead. We dont have many players that have won major trophies. But the futures very exciting and theres a great challenge for this group to see how far they can go. Star attractions both on and off the pitch will draw thousands of fans here to russia next summer. Organisers say everyone will be welcome for what they believe will be a festival of football. Nevertheless, the game here has had problems in the recent past, specifically with racism and violence, but campaigners are cautiously optimistic that things may be improving. Weve moved from a position of denial to a state where the russians understand that they need to clean up the stadiums, deal with some of the fans who are the hard core, otherwise people wont know when to come and it may well rebound back at them during the world cup. Today, though, the focus is on the big draw with all the teams keen to discover their footballing fate. Of course, they have been rehearsing this to be death to make sure that it is right. England drew brazil in rehearsal. I think we definitely wont get them. No, not now, that wasjust the wont get them. No, not now, that was just the rehearsal. Wont get them. No, not now, that wasjust the rehearsal. Lets look at what we think would be the best draw for england given the rankings. You think the dream draw would either host, russia, because they are the weakest team in the whole tournament, number63 in are the weakest team in the whole tournament, number 63 in the world. But they are in the top pot of seeds because they are the hosts. Also in that dream group, the best Case Scenario would be the likes of saudi arabia and senegal. The worse Case Scenario, perhaps, would be the worlds best team, germany. This would be the worst possible draw in terms of rankings. Germany, costa rica, who of course helped dump england out of the last world cup. And nigeria. But as well as the teams drawn in this world cup, like never before, it is about where you play. A dream draw would be a 3000, to journey for play. A dream draw would be a 3000, tojourney for three play. A dream draw would be a 3000, to journey for three games. Play. A dream draw would be a 3000, tojourney for three games. The worse Case Scenario would be going out to the likes of places like ekaterinburg,10,000 kilometres in just the space of ten days, three matches. So it is notjust to you play, it is where you play. But they are going to be flying everywhere they go, arent they . Apparently they go, arent they . Apparently they are going to make use of sleeper trains as well. You cant really sleep that well on the train, in that little bunk. Why did you do that . I tend to sleep like a hamster. You sleep like a squirrel. I dont know, when i am on a train bed, yes. You do that funny setting noise as well . Stop bit well, my world is weird. Yes, that is a fact. What else have you got . You distracted me with squirrels this time tomorrow will be talking about one of the big stories and sport for the whole year, the world right relief Rugby League World cup final. And overnight, weve heard the big news that, englands captain Sean Oloughlin has been ruled out with a thigh strain. Sam burgess will lead the side he captained england in last years four nations series, and assistant coach dennis betts said burgess was a doer and a leader and the natural replacement. Britains Paralympic Champion gordon reid can still reach the semi finals of the wheelchair tennis masters in loughbrough, after winning his second pool match. He came from a set down to beat nicolas peifer. The reigning paralympic mens singles champion lost the first set against frenchman nicolas peifer, but came back strongly 6 4, 6 3 to win his first match of the tournament. Andy lapthorne also won to qualify for the semi finals. Tiger woods said he thought he did great in his latest comeback to competitive golf. Hes been out since february after more back surgery and he shot a three under par 69 in the first round of the hero world challenge in the bahamas.

Tricks, spins, somersaults, timed runs bonus points for getting the canoe completely out of the water. Great britain have picked up three medals so far, with claire ohara winning her 9th freestyle world title. Plus be like being a washing machine. Sleep did you get last night . About four hours. Not good enough. I was thinking about the bobsleigh next week. You are kept awake thinking about bobsleigh . M will all be revealed soon on breakfast. But yes. We are going to talk about sleep, and i think you need to listen to this. Now on a frosty winters morning like today most of us would love an excuse tojump back into bed. As it turns out, a few extra hours sleep is exactly what some of us need certainly we need longer than mikes four hours. Not getting enough sleep can cause obesity, Heart Disease and diabetes, and it shortens your Life Expectancy too. James wilson is a sleep expert and hejoins us now. Sleep. It is those things we talk about a third that this programme. At some of the key problems people face with sleeping issues . Sometimes when people want to go to sleep, they try to force it. It is not like exercise. You cant make yourself to it. We need to relax ourselves into sleep. We need to wind down properly. To go to sleep, two things need to happen. A drop in core temperature and a drop in heart rate. Many of us do things before bed that dont help us do that. We need to stop forcing ourselves to go to bed at a certain time. We cannot force ourselves to go to sleep at ten. But we can turn we can learn what being sleepy feels like, which is important. There are all these conflicting ideas about how to go to sleep. I have learned, over the yea rs, sleep. I have learned, over the years, being on shifts like this, i dont panic about sleep. I think thatis dont panic about sleep. I think that is one of the problems. You start thinking about it, youre not getting enough sleep, you wake in the middle of the night. You say, dont watch tv, dont look at your phone, but then people say, get into a routine and watch something that makes you feel relaxed. a routine and watch something that makes you feel relaxed. I think we need to learn who we are as sleepers. We are all genetically different when it comes to sleep. We all need a different amount of sleep. Just as importantly we need a different quality of sleep. You have learned to you are as a sleeper. That is what we are try to do my organisation, trying to understand. Are you a morning lark . Are you a night owl . Are you typical . Learn when you should go to bed, but dont force it. Sleepiness comes by doing things which help us relax away heart rate drops. It doesnt come when we sit in bed thinking, i need to sleep. You have suffered from sleep problems yourself . Yes, i had an insomniac. Bad sleepers are bad sleepers. You cant change that. What was your sleep pattern . Ie she knew have improved that now. When you had your problem, what was it . Waking up early in the morning. As a teenager i didnt sleep at all. That often happens with teenagers. As i got older i struggled to stay asleep. I used to wake up at two oclock in the morning and think, im not going to go back to sleep. And guess what, i never went back to sleep. Now i wake up at two oclock in the morning and i think, if i dont get back to sleep i will be 0k. Because although i am a really bad sleeper i am brilliant at being tired. I cope well. Sol bad sleeper i am brilliant at being tired. I cope well. So i changed the conversation in my head about sleep, and that was a powerful tool for me to sleep better. Isnt that a myth, that you can be good at being tired . Shouldnt you except that you are not functioning anywhere close to 100 during the day . Accept. So your cognitive functions, your everyday functions, they suffer . can get through the day fine. What i used to do, i would have a bad nights sleep, i would worry, i would wake up and think, im not going to sleep. I would go seven or eight weeks like that and i would crash and have a good sleep and start again. So what i do now, it is just one day, we can deal with one or two days of bad sleep. People play in the world cup final, people give presentations, people do Amazing Things with no sleep whatsoever. What if you were in a position where you can catch up on sleep. You arejust, that position where you can catch up on sleep. You are just, that was position where you can catch up on sleep. You arejust, that was it. You were destined to a lifestyle of five hours every night. Is that damaging, physiologically . To get 90 of our sleep needs, winning five and a half hours. So although a lot of it will have seven or eight hours and they feel better, for our overall health, about five and a half hours is enough. And that really, really helps. As a bad sleeper, i was getting two or three hours. Eight hours was miles away. I couldnt get that. But five hours, i couldnt get that. But five hours, i could manage that. So when i got six hours i felt like i had had a good nights sleep. Very interesting. Thank you, james. Have a session with mike, he is on four hours. And sleeping like a squirrel, as well. Do you know what i dont like . Cold bedrooms. It is a big argument. Well but as long as you have a warm bed, it doesnt matter. It is cold when you get into it. Thats the problem. And its going to get colder. It has been very cold over the last few days and you have been sending your photos and videos in. Who is that . Somebody who has been enjoying the snow. But everybody, maybe. This is bridlington. The snow came down and people were enjoying it. That is in brighton for us. Good morning from the Royal Pavilion in brighton. We have managed to stay on our feet. It is called in brighton this morning, with the ice underfoot. Wintry conditions yesterday, especially in Eastern England. Frost elsewhere. There is a change on the way. We may be at the start of the meteorological winter, by temperatures are on the up in the next few days. Into this weekend it turns cloudy and mild in parts of the country, but of course you start to lose the sunshine with had over the last few days. Still sunshine this morning. Cloud thickens up. The rest of scotland, frosty. Down across the eastern counties of england, outbreaks of rain coming and going. A bit of sleet and snow over high ground force of turning mainly back to rain. Over the next few hours it could be icy in a couple of spots after the sleet and snow of yesterday. The wind is not as strong as yesterday, but still blustery in eastern areas. In the west, a frosty and lovely staff are many and not a bad start for Northern Ireland. Overnight it will start to cloud over as we go through the day. For the rest of the day Northern Ireland, scotland and later Northern England, louder round increases from the north. Still sunshine here and there, especially the east of high ground. Showers in Eastern England start to fade. Maybe confined to the coasts, especially for sussex, six and kent. Still windy, but not as windy as yesterday. With less wind it means it wont feel quite as chilly, but still temperatures down on where they should be. Into this evenly and overnight, cloud in the northern half will move southwards. This will bring patchy rain, namely inner west. Mainly in the west. There is the risk of temperatures dropping close enough to freezing. A touch of ice around. Still be wary if you have clear skies overhead as it could be frosty tomorrow. But there isa could be frosty tomorrow. But there is a change on the way. More cloud on saturday uk wide. Patchy rain in southern parts of wales and southern england to begin with. Heavy bursts at times. Farfrom a england to begin with. Heavy bursts at times. Far from a washout. Dry weather for many at times. The best of any breaks in east of high over high ground. Sunday will be a brighter day than saturday. Any light rain or drizzle will remain to the west. The best of any sunny brea ks to the west. The best of any sunny breaks to the east of high ground and temperatures up to about 11 degrees at best. I still need a little bit of skating practice, but so far so good. Lets hope that changes before the end of the programme i thought you would like that, yes. See you later. Weve been rather lucky this morning as weve been invited into piper hill high school, a special school. Its all part of our special series this week, looking at pupils who have special Educational Needs. Weve been taking a look at the idea of communication and how to make that easierfor children of communication and how to make that easier for children who do have special Educational Needs. Good morning, jayne. Good morning. Is there anybody in particular you want to say good morning to . I want to say good morning to . I want to say good morning to . I want to say good morning to my friends at tesco, if anyone can hear me good morning. think thats an advert. I dont think thats an advert. I dont think you can do that, but we will let you. We are down here and its a special day because whats the name of today . Butty day. Today they all make them and its a very special day. What is the one killer secret ingredient for any sandwich . Salt and vinegar crisps. These are the information strips that helped them know exactly what to do with the savages. And look at this. They know exactly what will happen. Savages. What we are learning today isa savages. What we are learning today is a bit more serious. 1. 4 million children in the uk have speech and communications issues. Report given to us exclusively today has new figures. Report is by a royal and communication charity and they say there is not enough access for children out there. Harry is happy and helpful, but with profound autism he struggles to communicate. Despite being twice assessed as having a problem, he has never been under the treatment of an nhs speech and language therapist. You have pushed and pushed to see somebody, havent you . Pushed and pushed. We have a multiagency meeting every 12 weeks for harry. Each time weve attended there is never a speech therapist, whereas a speech therapist, could she attend the next one . The same thing has happened for 18 months. Rather than therapy for harry, the nhs has offered jane training, which they tell me can be very beneficial. She now pays for private therapy. Im in a good position because im able to do that, but a lot of people say they cant. Here at this school in birmingham they also feel badly let down. A5 class starts, the teacher tries to hold their attention. A bit more interested in our camera most are eventually able to follow the song and join in the actions. But some really struggle. Notjust to speak but to pay attention, to understand, to follow instructions, all part of a speech, language and communication need. Its frustrating for us because we get children and you almost feel theyve been written off because sometimes parents have already noticed there is a problem and theyve tried to get help, theyve gone to doctors and nothing has happened. This is why the school brought in diana. She was part of a speech and Language Team in the nhs before being laid off with a number of colleagues five years ago. Developing childrens speech and language is not a target, like cancer or heart or diabetes. If you dont get the speech and language right, what else goes wrong . You dont learn to read and write. Ten years ago, the government commissioned a report which flagged up problems here and led to promises to deliver Better Services for children like zacharia. Better watch that the department of health says there are around 160 more therapies today and the government has an extra £2 million into therapy. But look at this from a recent ofsted and qc due report. And today a new survey finds only 15 of parents and therapist believe there are enough services in their area. They say this will have consequences. Data shows that over 60 at least have communication difficulties in the youth justice system, but name any Vulnerable Group of children, children in the looked after system, with Mental Health issues, children that are excluded or on the fringe of the excluded, and the youth justice system, the majority all have communication difficulties. Communication underpins everything, from reading and writing to making friends and making a future. Get it wrong and many kids will flounder. So serious, but we all know that resources a re really so serious, but we all know that resources are really stretched on the nhs. There are huge increases in demand for everything and theres quite a struggle to try to get the right of therapy is out there, to recruit them. Meet my new best friend, joe. Whats on the menu . Weve got fla pjacks, friend, joe. Whats on the menu .

Theres a relatively good service on the tubes this morning with just the central line having minor delays between white city a west ruislip. On the 8040 there are queues out of town towards the polish war memorial, following a collision. There are queues on the m25 clockwise towards qe2 bridge, following a collision nearjunction 30 for lakeside. In the city, Cannon Street is closed outside Cannon Street station because of a gas leak. Thats causing delays between monument and bank. Lets have a check on the weather now. Good morning. We are now into december, its the first day of the meteorological winter. But ironically its not going to feel as cold as it did yesterday, but still a chilly feeling day. Weve still got that northerly wind. There will be some brightness and sunshine around at times and temperatures to start the morning are above freezing across the board. Some early showers around. Just the small chance of wintriness on high ground first thing. But all of this will fall as rain. Showers fade in the afternoon. Brightness and sunshine emerging. Top temperatures between 5 7 celsius. The northerly wind will ease through the day, so not feeling quite so cold. Temperatures will dip away quite readily at first. Well see lows of 2 3 celsius overnight, but then we start to see milder air and perhaps a few outbreaks of drizzle coming through. Thats a warm front, so it will drag with it some milder air. But it will take some time for us to feel the benefit of this tomorrow. There will be a westerly wind, perhaps a few outbreaks of drizzle, but otherwise mostly dry. An awful lot of cloud around. It will feel quite damp and quite cold for much of the day tomorrow. By the time we get to sunday there should be more in the way of brightness and we have highs of 10 degrees.

Good morning. First, our main story. A former Scotland Yard detective has told bbc news he was shocked by the amount of pornography on a parliamentary computer seized from the office of the first secretary of state, damian green. Mr green has denied looking at pornography at work. Neil lewis, a computerforensics specialist, examined the device during an inquiry into government leaks in 2008. Hes now retired, and he spoke to our Home Affairs Correspondent danny shaw. How can you be sure that it was damian green who was accessing that pornography . Theres a phrase, you cant put fingers on a keyboard. So i cant say that. But the computer was in mr greens office, on his desk. Logged in, its his account, his name. In between browsing pornography, he was sending emails from his account, his personal account. Reading documents, writing documents. Danny shawjoins us now from our london newsroom. Danny, what more can you tell us . Neil that this was an officer working on the Counter Terrorism command at the time of the inquiry. You have to remember this was about lea ks you have to remember this was about leaks from the home office, he was not looking for pornography, he was examining damian greens computers to look for evidence about the leaks and he came across these thousands of images, he says, thumbnail images of images, he says, thumbnail images of pornographic material and lots of website browsing of pornography. He said on sundays pornography was being browsed, surged for all looked at for several hours and he checked over a three month period and it was extensive, the amount of pornography that had been viewed on damian greens parliamentary computer. He claims there was similar computer on mr greens parliamentary issued la ptop on mr greens parliamentary issued laptop as well. What information is there about who was accessing this pornography . You heard him there said he cannot definitively prove that it was damian green, and that in a court of law, when barristers try to get you to say that coming he cannot say that with 100 certainty. But looking at the patterns of usage, in his opinion, it points towards damian green. Mrgreen his opinion, it points towards damian green. Mr green has vehemently denied the allegation, he is claiming he did not put pornography on his Work Computers or look at pornography on his Work Computers, that is what he has stuck with over the past few weeks since these allegations emerged. Thank you very much. Health inspectors have ordered a review of all nhs Radiology Services in england, after a hospital in portsmouth failed to spot three cases of lung cancer. The investigation by the Care Quality Commission also found that 20,000 chest scans had not been assessed correctly at the Queen Alexandra hospital. The trust has apologised to the families affected. Mark lobel reports. An alarming backlog of unchecked medical scans has been found at the Queen Alexandra hospital in portsmouth by the Health Services regulator, after a member of the public raised concerns. The Care Quality Commission found between 1st april 2016 and 31st march this year, 26,345 chest x rays and 2,167 abdomen x rays had not been formally reviewed by a radiologist or an appropriately trained clinician. Some had been checked but byJunior Doctors, who complained that they had been asked to do so without appropriate training. In some cases where x rays had been declared clear, radiologists went on to spot cancer on later scans. In a statement, the Care Quality Commission said portsmouth nhs trust said the Health Regulator has now written to all trusts in england to build up a National Picture of how quickly patients x rays are viewed. But tackling the problem will be tough. Experts have warned of a desperate shortage of radiologists across the country. The government points to an increase of radiologists undergoing training and a 10 rise in the number of diagnostic radiographers since 2010. Survivors and those who lost loved ones in the grenfell fire say the Public Inquiry into the disaster will be a whitewash unless a Diverse Panel is appointed to oversee the proceedings. The government says the process is ongoing, but campaigners are urging the Prime Minister to intervene, and say the chairman, sir martin moore bick, should sit with a range of people who understand the issues facing those affected by the disaster. The Argentine Navy has abandoned efforts to rescue the 44 crew members of a submarine that disappeared two weeks ago. Thousands of people have been involved in the search for the sanjuan, covering a 40,000 square kilometre area of the south atlantic. The Authorities Say they will still try to locate the wreckage. A developing story this morning royal bank of scotland is to close some of its branches. Seans here with more. Branch closures is not a new thing but it seems to be never ending, royal bank of scotland saying nearly 260 branches across the network. If you break that down, that is a quarter of their branches in scotla nd quarter of their branches in scotland will be closed as part of the announcement, a quarter of their remaining branches, quite a big hit for scottish branches. 62 are rbs, 197 of those branches are at natwest, which are around england and wales, that is owned by the royal bank of scotland. Rbs are basically saying it is because they are continuing to see fewer customers use branches, down 40 since 2014, and way more mobile phone transactions being made, up 73 in the same period. We have spoken about how important they are, banks, to the strength of community and many people using it in terms ofjust personal interaction and feeling more co mforta ble interaction and feeling more comfortable with the traditional ways of banking. Particularly for big Financial Decisions you might have to make, later in life those bigger Financial Decisions you are making about where you put your money might be more pertinent as well, so the post office in theory can provide a lot office in theory can provide a lot of services if you still have one in your village or town, but if you dont, we are getting onto these mobile banking trucks and lorries that we see going around to different villages that people start using but that is a very different way of banking to what we used to previously. We should add as well 680 jobs under threat here, rbs hoping there will not be compulsory redundancies but it remains to be seen. And the staff have been told that . The staff have been made aware. Thanks very much. Prince harry and Meghan Markle will carry out their firstjoint royal engagements later, just days after announcing that theyre to marry in the spring. They will visit a number of charities in nottingham, as our royal correspondent Sarah Campbell reports. It was only on monday that prince harry introduced the american actress Meghan Markle as his new fiancee. This photo call was held in the controlled environment of the garden at Kensington Palace, but m5 markle made it clear in the subsequent interview that she was keen to get out and about and meet the british public. In these beginning few months and now being boots on the ground in the uk, im excited to just really get to know more about the different communities here, smaller organisations, were working on the same causes ive always been passionate about under this umbrella. And also being able to go around the commonwealth, i think itsjust the beginning. Theres a lot to do. Their first engagement together will highlight an issue prince harry has become a prominent campaigner on behalf of aids and hiv awareness. They will then visit Nottingham Academy. Through the Royal Foundation he has supported full effect, a programme which is attempting to tackle youth crime. This was prince harry meeting the public in nottingham earlier this year. According to his spokesman, its a community which has become very special to him and one that hes looking forward to introducing to his new fiancee. Born and raised in california, Meghan Markle has already agreed to make the uk her home, and the people of nottingham will be the first to publicly welcome her. Sarah campbell, bbc news. Sport and weather coming up shortly. A return of border checks between Northern Ireland and the republic is inevitable after brexit, according to a group of mp5. The commons exiting the eu Committee Says that if the uk pulls out of the Single Market and Customs Union, it will be impossible to maintain a frictionless border. The committees chairman, the labour mp hilary benn, joins us now from westminster. Why would it be impossible, in the simplest sense, technology is advancing, could there not be a electronic border . It seems to work at the moment. On the 200 crossing points between the republic of ireland and Northern Ireland, goods flow freely at the moment, there is no infrastructure because we are pa rt no infrastructure because we are part of the European Union, the Customs Union, the Single Market. What we have said is currently we dont see how it will be possible to reconcile on one hand the object of the government has set out that there should be no border and no physical infrastructure after we leave, an objective that we all support and share, including the government of the republic of ireland, and on the other hand the has reached to leave the Customs Union and the Single Market, because it will then become the border between the United Kingdom and the other 27 Member States of the European Union. You are right, the government has suggested that technology might provide the answer, at the moment, however, the government admits its proposals are u ntested government admits its proposals are untested and, crucially, the republic of ireland, which will be on the other side of the border, is not convinced that that can deliver the no hard border, no infrastructure aim that everybody shares and that is why, as a committee today, we have called on the government to set out in more detail how exactly it thinks this can be made to work, because there does seem to be a conflict between the two things at the moment. Can you explain the committees breakdown in terms of you, you campaign to remain in the eu ahead of the referendum, how it breaks down in terms of what the agenda is . Is the aim to facilitate the governments negotiations over brexit, or is it to throw up challenges . Ourjob as a select committee is to scrutinise the process of brexit, the workings of parliament for exiting the European Union, to listen to the evidence and produce reports and make recommendations. We are doing our job. This is the most challenging process that this country has been through certainly since the end of the Second World War over 44 years we have built up a relationship with our friends we have built up a relationship with ourfriends and we have built up a relationship with our friends and neighbours we have built up a relationship with ourfriends and neighbours in we have built up a relationship with our friends and neighbours in terms of law, trade, movement of people, and all other things, and it is, unsurprisingly, a complex and difficult process. I said at the very first meeting of the committee, it doesnt matter whether anyone voted remain or leave, the decision was made by the british people in june 2016, have a job now is to look at what is happening and to offer advice and recommendations, and that is what we have done today in producing ourfirst is what we have done today in producing our first report on the negotiations, which covers notjust the question of the border between Northern Ireland and the republic, called on the government, if we do move onto phase two of talks later this month, which we hope very much we will, the government needs to set out with greater clarity what this new deep and special partnership it wants us to have with the European Union is going to consist of. We also want the government to be clearer about how a transitional arrangement period is going to operate, because businesses need to know where they are going to stand after the end of march 2019, which is when we will leave the institutions of the European Union, so we are doing our job, which we have been set up to do. The reason i ask, this is obviously a matter that has been given a deadline, it is a process thatis given a deadline, it is a process that is extensive, and it appears, for example you have asked ministers to publish a white paper on the transition period. It appears some of the things you are bringing up our slowing down the process. dont accept that at all. It has taken time for the government in some cases to adopt its policy positions because, lets be honest, there have been differences of view within the government about the approach that should be taken. But we are all working to a ticking clock. I think asking the government to set out with greater clarity how a transitional period is going to work, for example, is not about slowing things down, it is about trying to give reassurances to businesses, some of which, as you know, are making contingency arrangements because they need to guard against the possibility that we might end up with no deal. We also say in todays report that we agree with the chancellor of the exchequer that leaving with no deal would be a very, very bad outcome for the United Kingdom. And that, i think, is self evidently the case. So, in saying to the government that greater clarity is needed, that is an effort to move things on because it is uncertainty, as im sure you appreciate, which is the biggest problem we face at the moment because there are lots of people in their jobs, because there are lots of people in theirjobs, work, industries, the service sector, four fifths of the british economy, sitting there saying, we know how things work today but we are not sure how things will work after march 2019 and how it will operate in the transition period, and that is why as much clarity as possible is required and thatis clarity as possible is required and that is what the committee is encouraging the government to provide. The bbc have spoken to a former scotla nd the bbc have spoken to a former Scotland Yard detective who said he was shocked by the amount of pornography found on the work computer of damian green. This evidence has been put forward and spoken too to the bbc. Do you think mrgreen spoken too to the bbc. Do you think mr green should resign . spoken too to the bbc. Do you think mr green should resign . I think if anyone has evidence in connection with the inquiry the Cabinet Office is currently undertaking, that evidence should be provided to the inquiry. I dont think its right for any of us to prejudge its outcome. There is a process, we should allow that process to reach its conclusion. I am sure we want to see that dumb as soon as possible, but since that inquiry is taking place, im not going to comment on that. Place, im not going to comment on that. It place, im not going to comment on that. It should be done as soon as per the looks. Hilary benn, thank you forjoining us. Who would like to see a dog frolicking in the snow . Truffle the dog from york, who played in it for the first time. Brilliant. Who would like to see a weather presenter skating on ice and falling over presenting the weather . Definitely not me i am always last in the queue. Good morning. I am at the Royal Pavilion in brighton, on ice of course, because it is the start of the meteorological winter. 1st of december, first day of advent as well. Ice rinks are popping up happened on the country. This one, you cant argue with the setting. It is here until the 14th of january. I argue with the setting. It is here until the 14th ofjanuary. I have been looking the forecast for the winter, the next few months from the met office. It looks like the first half of winter will be a bit colder than the second half but there is a long way to go and we will keep you updated bbc breakfast. A cold start to winter and things are set to change over the next few days. Lets take a look at the forecast. This weekend it tends notjust cloudy but my order as well. The first weekend it tends notjust cloudy but my order as well. The first signs weekend it tends notjust cloudy but my order as well. The first signs of thatis my order as well. The first signs of that is this morning in northern scotland, some patchy rain pushing in. The rest of scotland, a frosty start but funny. A sunny star in north west england as well. To the east of the pennines in Eastern England, some showers around. Not quite as snowy as yesterday. A little bit of sleet and snow on higher ground. Beware in the next hour or higher ground. Beware in the next hourorso, it higher ground. Beware in the next hour or so, it could be icy. The wind is not as strong as yesterday. Very blowy in east anglia and the south east this morning adding to the jail, but in the west winds are lighter and other than an isolated shower most should have a fine, sunny winters day. Northern ireland starting funny and frosty. The best of the sunshine for you will be this morning. Cloudy as we go through the day and with it the chance of some patchy light rain or drizzle. That may make it to north west england by the time we hit the late afternoon, evening. Showers in eastern areas will gradually become confined to the coast, particularly east anglia and these. Still windy here, elsewhere the wind slighter, not quite as chilly as yesterday, even though temperatures down on where they should be for the time year. Still cold out there. With clear skies to begin this evening and overnight across england and wales in particular, this is where we are likely to see a frost. Cloud increasing in the north, temperatures will rise but any brea ks temperatures will rise but any breaks in the cloud and temperatures could drop below freezing. Some patchy rain and drizzle working southwards, so still the chance of some iciness into the start of saturday morning. Not as chilly as the past few mornings, certainly in scotla nd the past few mornings, certainly in scotland and Northern Ireland. Saturday, fairly cloudy, some patchy light rain and drizzle, mainly in the west and the top and tail of the country, the heaviest of the rain will be in scotland. Not a wash out, some dry weather as well. Much milder across scotland and Northern Ireland for tomorrow. Still a bit chilly, though, to the south and east of england. The milder will be with us on sunday. Quite a bit of cloud to begin with, some patchy rain in the west but most will have a dry day on sunday and compared to saturday, a little bit brighter. Once the brightness breaks through the cloud, temperatures up to 10 11. It looks like the milder air coming off the atlantic will continue with us into the start of next week as well. But certainly at the moment got my a cold enough start to the first meteorological day of winter, and an enjoyable start with a weather man still on his feet so disappointing. Someone is upset with you, brendan in bold has e mailed us. Please no more confusion in telling people winter starts today. He says it starts on the 21st of december. That is why i have always mentioned is the meteorological start. A5 whether folk we compare the seasons in three month chunks which helps us compare data. To be honest, in my opinion, it is nature that tells us when the season starts rather than a particular day. And in the last few days, it has felt like winter october, thats when it started. Laughter thank you. It does look chilly. Lets go from a chilly matt to a lovely roaring fire out in the open with marshmallows being roasted. We have been lucky enough to invited to a school this morning in wythenshawe. All part of our series this week looking at children with special Educational Needs. Nikki is there warming herself by the fire for us. Yes, normally i am permanently frozen, even in the summer but im keeping lovely and toasty by the fire, toasting marshmallows.

With having a Forest School area, it gives the opportunity to use their skills they have learned in the classroom and apply it to the outdoor world. A really unique place. I imagine a lot of parents with children would love their kids to go somewhere like this, a mix of the curriculum but also activities like staying over in the heart. Yes, parents have been fabulous, we have parents have been fabulous, we have parents that he, the pdsa, we try to make sure its notjust about the students but their families as well.

More from Louisa Lytton later on this morning. Time to get the news weather and travel weight you are, see you soon. Today marks the first day of meteorological winter and ironically it is going to be less colborne it has been over the last few days. This area of High Pressure has been with us but while we had northerly wind this week, today we have wind coming in from the north and the west, so that is a less cold direction and this morning while we have a few wintry showers and ice in the north east, those showers will fade away and for many others it will be dry into this afternoon. Across scotland, the cloud will increase this afternoon and with that some rain moving in with temperatures around four or 5 degrees. Bitter rain for Northern Ireland, much of england and wales will be dry with bright spells. Still a few rain showers across parts of lincolnshire, into the east midlands, down towards the south east of england. Away from that there will be some sunshine and temperatures just a few Degrees Higher than they were yesterday. Tonight we will continue with this cloud, which will trickle further south, and with it some outbreaks of rain moving towards the south, largely frost free tonight because of the cloud, less cold air moving m, of the cloud, less cold air moving in, temperatures no lower than about three to 6 degrees. So it is going to bea three to 6 degrees. So it is going to be a milder weekend, it is going to be a milder weekend, it is going to be a milder weekend, it is going to be cloudier, and there will be a little bit of rain around as we go through saturday and sunday. So here is saturday, then. Some patchy rain across southern areas, more in the way of rain coming in towards scotla nd way of rain coming in towards scotland and Northern Ireland. There will be a few breaks in the cloud here and there but, overall, it will be mostly cloudy and temperatures up to about seven or eight celsius, just coming up to where they should be for the time of year. Sunday is fairly similar, again there will be lots of cloud, a few breaks developing in the cloud from time to time, temperatures across the south getting up to ten or 11 degrees.
