So it is no surprise that a survey by the carers ida on sound more than half of those aged 16 25 were struggling to with school work. Homework is the thing i struggle with because im a lwa ys thing i struggle with because im always doing loads of chores and stuff and then i have to find time to do all my homework. Local Council Bosses say it is vital young carers are identified so they can get the support we need to achieve their life ambitions. You see everyone and you think, oh, theyre so lucky, they can do all of that, but then you think i might wait, i cant do that. But then i also think it is important that i help her out and i like being responsible for her, because it makes me feel special. Claudia and leonie are getting help from their school, which means they can focus on their schoolwork and looking after mum. What does the word ca re looking after mum. What does the word care mean for you . Well, when i think terror i think its not normal, a normal life. Think carer. Like when you are an actress you have a big role to play, but then when you finish doing that part you need to stop, but its like youre doing that role forever. Claudia and leonie, talking to our reporter. Holly mentioned the research from carers trust. Joining us now is gail scott spicer, whos Chief Executive of the carers trust. Hearing their story, its really heartbreaking. How common is a story like that . There are 700,000 children upto the age of 18 but also as young as five who caring. Caring forfriends, family, as young as five who caring. Caring for friends, family, somebody as young as five who caring. Caring forfriends, family, somebody in their life who they love dearly. Its a real challenge for them. The data we have produced today and that we have seen from carers trust is showing that young carers are a danger, not only to their education, not fulfilling their life ambitions. There might be children up during the night that have been looking after perrett and now had to be hitting their bag ready. What should teachers be looking out for as far as checking all these kids are getting the support they need once at school . We know from the data that half of children are having problems coping with schoolwork. We know that they are struggling with deadlines. These are the things that children can look teachers can look after. You might find that some of these young carers are not moving it into school. Maybe they are hiding it, showing they are coping. Maybe its hard to spot. It is but we do lots of work with schools to help spot the signs. There might be some carers watching this morning as they go through what they need to to support their family. They can reach out to schools because schools know how to support them. They can do that in confidence and they run a lot of charities around like carers trust. They can reach out in confidence. We also have online forums where they can come on and be anonymous. That is the first step for young carers sometimes to reach out and get support. They must realise crucially they are not alone. That is the way. If you can go on for and speak to other people, you can make a difference. There was a change in the law around giving more support and essentially assessment to young people. Has that made a difference and tell us, yes, havent it ready difference . They came in to support children for The First Time to give them rights in law. It is crucial now the government hold local authorities to account to realise both law and the principles and ambitions of those acts. It is very varied out there. Sometimes we see buried a lot of great work going on to support ca re rs great work going on to support carers but in other places, there is a lot more work to do. Gale from the c os trust, thank you. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. Carroll, you are looking gorgeous considering how many hours sleep you have had. How many hours sleep . 3. 5. You legend. It is because of the National Television awards, i have two ad. 3. We are importing cold winds from a Cold Continent. They are dragging it in on the south easterly wind. Very windy across the north west once again today but the west of the uk generally windy. There is a lot of clout for us, we also have drizzle. Cloud. We will also see the odd flurry of snow. We wait all see it. We wont. There is the risk of ice first thing this morning. Watch out for that underfoot and if you are driving. There are also pockets of fog but not on the scale that some of us have seen. Cloudy start across some of us have seen. Cloudy start a cross m ost some of us have seen. Cloudy start across most of us. Also in northern ireland. Scotland, too. The north of scotla nd ireland. Scotland, too. The north of scotland is sticking out of the cloud. He refused. Here we will see the lion s share of any sunshine as we will through the course of the day. The rest of the day, cloudy for the morning. Gradually, though, we start to see the cloud break up across southern counties and we will see sunshine. Some of that extends into wales. We will hang on to war this cloud and although we see temperatures largely above freezing, when you add on the wind chill, how it will feel against your skin when you are out, 5 in newcastle, freezing in cardiff. Remember to wrap up warmly if you are just a stepping out. As we had on through thursday and into friday, we hang on to quite keen to win. Then we have the complex area of low pressure. It is coming in from the west. We start off on friday, possibly the odd pockets of fog and nothing substantial. Any Snow Flurries in the east will tend to fade and then we have Weather Front coming in from the north and west and they will introduce some rain. Also some milder conditions, particularly in the south west. Although we will still feel cold in central areas, it will feel less than it did today. Saturday, showers but the nature of showers mean we were not all see them. Some of us will see sunshine. Look at this. It looks as though we will see the next area of low pressure sweeping will see the next area of low pressure sweeping across will see the next area of low pressure sweeping across the southern counties of england and wales. The timing and position of this will change. Deep in touch with the Weather Forecast. Further north, not a bad day at all. Carroll, should we have a look at how we went last night . A beautiful picture of the gang. Everybody looking top dollar. That was before the party began. Tell us what it was like. Laughter. You are getting no change out of me about anything.

And so used to it because they are westj et a and so used to it because they are westjet a grilling from you guys im glad you had a lovely time. Figures out later this morning are expected to show the british economy finished the year strongly. If so, it would be the latest data to suggest the uk economy is remaining resilient despite the brexit vote. Ben is in Central London for us this morning. Just how significant could these figures be ben . You have a cracking view over the city. A bit cold that you have your gloves on. What are we expecting . Carol is not fibbing, it is freezing but the economy is going to be faring a bit better. We had the concerns about a fall in the value of the pound and that uncertainty surrounding brexit. The latest thing is that word in inflation. We will hear a lot about it this year as prices start rising. We have had warnings from retailers including supermarkets, saying they might have to put prices up. On Economic Growth, we get the figure at 930. It is for the last quarter of last year, expected to show that the economy grew for about 0. 5 . We have City Esque Burts with me. You are a cold, windy rooftop. Thank you for putting up with it. City experts. We have seen headlines about what inflation and brexit could mean. The end of 2016 has been good and so will the beginning of 2017, as we have seen. Everybody is pretty upbeat but inflation has doubled between october and december so i think we will see wages squeezed because inflation is rising higher and rising more than wages at the moment. People will feel a bit poorer and it is consumption that has been driving the economy so i am worried about that going forward. The fact that manufacturers are getting towards Capacity Constraints and labour is a bit short. There are two stories on today because when we look at things like brexit, there is uncertainty for business, we dont know what is going to happen and if you are a business with, you either embrace it or worry. Which way should you be going . These are challenging times but exciting times. Refer to what bronwyn said, it is uncertain. We unfortunately, london is the only standard bearer. We need a much more mixed and balanced economy. We need to find labour in the right places so we can give construction and industrial print duction a real boost. Im really upbeat long term. Production. Wages is only at 2. 6 . Have some courage, it will be fine. Catherine, you are nodding along to some things but as far as consumers are concerned, some things but as far as consumers are concerned , we some things but as far as consumers are concerned, we may feel a squeeze. Are concerned, we may feel a squeeze. We will see a large to start decline. Businesses might not see it. These things take a long time to ramp up. Consumers are doing heavy lifting at the moment. Whether it can continue, we dont know. We are not going to delay spending because of an article 50 ruling, for example. Thank you very much. We will speak more to you guys later in the programme. We will delve into the programme. We will delve into the idea of consumer spending. It is all of us who is going out and spending in the shops that has helped prop up the economy. Big questions about whether we will carry on doing that. Delve into the flat and get some heat. It is freezing. Youre watching breakfast. Time to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

Theresa may will call for a renewed Special Relationship with the United States when she addresses republican politicians in philadelphia later. A day before she becomes the First International leader to meet President Trump, the Prime Minister will argue for greater co operation in the fight against terrorism. Our Political Correspondent chris mason is at westminster. This is the reason they officially meeting President Trump. She has already said she isnt afraid of a frank conversation with him, but still wa nts frank conversation with him, but still wants to renew their Special Relationship. How is it going to work do you think west that phrase Special Relationship will tumble out of her lips many times in the next 48 hours. The plane carrying the Prime Minister is leaving heathrow about now. First stop is philadelphia, this away day for senior republican politicians. A chance for her to address them. People who might be able to bend the earand people who might be able to bend the ear and influence the president over the next four years. She will talk about how for her International Organisations are really important. The United States and the uk were central in setting her up. The un and the defence alliance, nato, for instance. President trump has been sceptical about any International Organisations. The other thing she will be keen to do is just build a Working Relationship with the president. The Human Connection is hugely important and she starts it with some awkwardness, because she was not, entry about him in the past. So she turns up with a hamper, from her retreat in buckinghamshire, com plete from her retreat in buckinghamshire, complete with a belt bakewell ta rt, complete with a belt bakewell tart, im told, and she will also carry an ancient scottish artefact, a nod to President Trumps mum who was from scotland.

It is another important day for brexit because of course we have a big announcement at 9 30am . Yes. The Prime Minister might be flying across the atlantic, but that doesnt mean brexit stops. The whole process ru m bles doesnt mean brexit stops. The whole process rumbles on. What we get this morning is the publication of a bill.

The debate amongst mps and those in the House Of Lords to follow from next week. As ever, lovely to talk to you. When she visits washington tomorrow, theresa may has said she is not afraid of having a candid conversation with President Trump, who said he believed that torture could work to get information out of suspected terrorists. Donald trump said he would seek further advice from the cia, before deciding whether to bring Back Techniques such as Water Boarding. Speaking to the american abc network in his first televised interview since becoming president , he also repeated his pledge to make mexico pay for a wall along its border with the United States. Heres our washington correspondent, david willis. Could america be set for a return to the Interrogation Methods of old . A Draft Executive Order suggests its Commander In Chief could be preparing to return to the dark days of Water Boarding, by reopening the so called Black Site Prisons operated by the cia. In his first tv interview since becoming president , donald trump made clear he is considering scrapping an order by his predecessor, that Terrorist Suspects be treated in accordance with international law. Torture works, the president declared. When theyre chopping off the heads of our people and other people, when theyre chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be a christian in the middle east, when isis is doing things that nobody has ever heard of since medieval times, would i feel strongly about Water Boarding . As far as im concerned, we have to Fight Fire With fire. Reports suggest mr trump is also due to announce plans to close americas borders to refugees, for a period at least, and implement tougher Visa Restrictions on citizens from certain predominantly muslim nations with links to terrorism, what is known as extreme vetting. In an effort to quell the influx of Illegal Immigrants from mexico, mr trump has signed an Executive Order to begin work on building a wall between the two nations. A multimillion Dollar Venture that he insists mexico will be made to pay for. Ultimately it will come out of whats happening with mexico and we will start those negotiations relatively soon and we will be in a form reimbursed by mexico. So theyll pay us back . Absolutely, 100 . That has ruffled the feathers of americas southern neighbour. In an address to the nation, mexicos president said they have no intention of footing the bill. The mexican president is due in washington next week. He faces difficult discussions with an american counterpart clearly determined to reverse many of the changes brought about by barack obama. Royal bank of scotland will take another financial hit for mis selling risky mortgages in america before the financial crisis hit in 2008.

A major report into the health of children in the uk has found an alarming gap exists between the rich and poor, with one in five young people suffering as a result of poverty. The Royal College of paediatrics and child health also suggests the uk is lagging behind most western European Countries when it comes to measures such as Infant Mortality Rates and obesity. Our Health Correspondent Dominic Hughes reports. Hi, im sophie. And im an emotional wreck. Anxiety, depression and a need to be listened to. These are the themes of a short play on Mental Health, devised by School Students in liverpool. I need help. The issues they touch on reflect those in todays report on the health of children and young people. It paints a picture of the uk struggling to match other countries and even falling behind. The evidence has been developing for some time that all is not well with our Childrens Health. Its The First Time we have really put together a proper picture across all four countries and the news is not good. Some of the issues that Raise Concerns over the state of child health include just 34 of babies breast fed to six months, less than half the rate in norway. 40 of children in englands most deprived areas are overweight or obese, and half of Adult Mental Health problems start before the age of 14. And for the drama group in liverpool, Mental Health issues are a real priority. Mental illnesses are an illness of the brain and theyre as valid as any other illnesses to any other part of the body. Just because you cant see it physically it doesnt mean it isnt there. Our production will mainly be to get rid of that stigma about Mental Health and just educate the audience a bit more about Mental Health. The four governments of the uk are all challenged to consider the impact their policies will have on children. Theyve responded by restating commitments to improve Childrens Health. The number of cars built in the uk has reached a 17 year high, due to continued economic recovery in europe. Around 1. 7 million cars rolled off Production Lines last year and exports reached a record high. But investment in the industry fell last year because of continued uncertainty about the economy, following the brexit vote. Almost half of all hospitals are failing to meet basic government standards for Hospital Food, according to data released by the Department Of Health. The campaign for better Hospital Food warns the situation is diabolical. But the government says standards are improving. In 2014 Food Standards became mandatory in english hospitals. This is an attempt to find out what progress has been made since then. It says there is more to do, but claimed that has been immeasurable improvement in food quality. For example in 89 of hospitals patients said theirfood example in 89 of hospitals patients said their food was good or very good, but up 5 from 2013. 55 of hospitals are fully compliant with standards recommended i dieticians, but up 14 from 2015. And 52 of hospitals are fully compliant with basic government standards on food quality and nutrition. Nearly 40 are said to be hardly compliant. But the campaign for better Hospital Food excel on that same statistic, saying it Shows Nearly Half of hospitals dont meet basic standards. Picks up. The organisation claims nearly one third of patients are at real risk of malnutrition. The Department Of Health says Food Standards in hospital are legally binding. The campaigners claim the Legal Framework for schools is more rigourous. They say that means healthy children in schools get more and Legal Protection on Food Standards and six children in hospitals. It was a big night for the tv industry last night. Ant and dec won the prize for the best Tv Presenters for the 16th year in a row. Imagine how big their trophy room is it was the National Television awards in london last night, while the bbc presenter Graham Norton was recognised for his services to broadcasting. Itvs itvs programme got best magazine. We were at the awards. Arm happy to say allah team still had a brilliant time. I say allah team still had a brilliant time. I am happy. Carol was there, she pulled on all night. Not for The First Time we will be getting the Weather Forecast from her, if she is still awake, in a couple of minutes. It was controversially sanctioned by president bush, banned by president obama, but now President Trump has said he believes Torture Works. In an interview with the us network abc, he said he supports the reintroduction of interrogation techniques, currently banned in the us. Donald trump also repeated his stance that mexico would pay for a 2,000 mile wall along its border with the us. Though the mexican president has rejected the idea. Well discuss this in more detail in a moment, but first here he is speaking to abc news. When isis is doing things that nobody has ever heard of since mediaeval times, would i feel strongly about Water Boarding . As far as strongly about Water Boarding . As faras im strongly about Water Boarding . As far as im concerned i think we have to Fight Fire With fire. Ive spoken as recently as 24 hours ago, with people at the highest level of intelligence, and i asked them the question does it work . Does torture work . And the answer was yes, absolutely. You are now the president. You want Water Boarding . I dont want people to chop off anybodys heads in the middle east. The mexican president said in recent days that mexico will absolutely not pay adequate against their dignity asa pay adequate against their dignity as a country and their dignity as mexicans. He has to say that. But i am just telling you there will be a form, perhaps a complicated form. You have to understand, what im doing is good for the United States and it will also be good for mexico. We wa nt and it will also be good for mexico. We want to have a stable and solid mexico. When will construction begin . As soon as we can. As soon as we can physically do it. Months . I would say months, yes. Banning is starting immediately. Planning. Jacob parakilas is Assistant Head of the us and Americas Programme at chatham house. Hejoins us from our london newsroom. Good morning. He hasnt even been in position for one week and weve had Co Nsta Nt Position for one week and weve had constant tweeting and announcements and Executive Orders signed. Is he going about this with an amazing, an unusual amount of energy . If you are calling to the nine when obama took office, he signed a number of things including torture techniques, calling for the closure of guantanamo bay. Some of those things and notably the closure of that detention centre, didnt. It is normalfor a president to begin their term with a flurry of activity because it sets out the agenda and it also, in some ways, they are in their honeymoon period. They set up their honeymoon period. They set up their agenda and they can reinforce it over the course of their term. That go through some of the things they have been talking about. Lets start with torture. Shall we be surprised by the strength of some of his words in that interview . No, its entirely consistent with what he said during the campaign. The interesting thing is the internal dynamics. He said in that interview that he would listen to the press secretary General Mattis and his cia director mike pompeo. Both of those said they would be bringing back Water Boarding. Also bringing back the acted that would bring any interrogation which bans Water Boarding or other forms of torture. For the moment, it sounds by kuwait push for any harder to the reintegration of. He wont push any harder. The number of republicans, especially john any harder. The number of republicans, especiallyjohn cain, have pushed for the continuation of the ban. So he might not intend to deliver it but is he just trying to appeal directly to his voters, his supporters, at the moment, and throw them some red meat . Think you straight to appeal to his supporters and also set out what he sees as the position of toughness. Set out this idea that he will be aggressively defending Americas National interest. All of this is continued on the current political situation. There is general turnover in cabinet posts. We dont know whether mike pompeo or General Mattis will last both terms. We dont know who else might get into crucial National Security posts. He is talking about the wall and talking about building it within months. If that realistic . No. Its absolutely a huge construction project. Much of it is through in hospitable territory. There is also the problem that a lot of the land is not owned by the federal government. It is private land owners. Housing estates. It is compensated legal process. Securing land rights. You cant do is that land rights. You cant do is that land and then start putting up a concrete barrier. So, he will be able to begin construction on certain segments of the wall beyond the 700 or so miles of war that already exist. It is not something he will be able to get done quickly. In terms of effectiveness, most undocumented immigration in the us is not from people crossing the border that people coming on Student Visas or work visas and overstaying so visas or work visas and overstaying so the wall will not stop any of that. A lot for donald trump and theresa may to talk about when she hits the white house tomorrow. As we speak, she is getting on a plane. Thank you for your time. And taking a hamper with her. What would you wa nt a hamper with her. What would you want ina a hamper with her. What would you want in a hamper . Tarts. Carol, what would you like in a hamper that would you like in a hamper that would impress you . Good morning. If you arejust stepping out, it is called start the day. Temperatures are widely around freezing orders below or above. It will get down to the bitter wind. It is coming off a Cold Continent and it has been dragged across our shores from south to north. If you arejust stepping out, make shores from south to north. If you are just stepping out, make sure you ta ke are just stepping out, make sure you take something warm with you. Cloudy start to the day. Thick enough for the odd spot of drizzle and the odd snow flurry. Most of us will miss it anyway. We also have the odd pocket of log around, not to the level of what we have seen lately. As you can see across southern counties, a lot of cloud. That is called in exeter as it was yesterday. Over into wales, a lot of cloud. The pennines and the vale of york, a bit of drizzle but a lot of hill fog. You will have into the sunshine through the day for the north of scotland but the rest of scotland and northern ireland, some drizzle and cloud. Talking through the day, it will be windy, especially out towards the west and the north west. Dont forget, all of us, if exposed to the wind, feel cold. Londons temperature is at three celsius and in the wind will feel like more like minus one. For newcastle in the wind, 6, that is the field. Feeling. Into tomorrow, still Windy Collette conditions. We will start off in the morning began with the odd pocket of frost, like this morning, the risk of ice. In the west, what you will find is the rain coming in, courtesy of the front. It wont be too heavy and any Snow Flurries will move away. In the south west, milder conditions, less call than it has been across central and eastern areas but if you are outside, it will still feel cold. On saturday, we start to see a more u nsettled saturday, we start to see a more unsettled dealing. A few more showers around, it wont be as cold and we will equally the sunshine in between the showers. I will draw your attention to this area of rain. This is a next area of low pressure which at the moment looks as though it will sweep across other southern parts of england and wales through sunday. The timing and position of that could change so dont be gutted if thats what you see and you have outdoor plans, it may move further south. At the moment, it looks like it is the northern half of the country that will see the driest and brightest conditions with some sunshine. Is it fair to say it is quite fresh at the moment . Fresh that is an understatement it is perishing. As you fresh today . Im very fresh, steph, thank you for asking. There is a reason we are saying is, it was the tv awards last night and carol was there. She was there last night and she looks brilliant. As second hand vehicles go, it doesnt sound very promising slightly scorched, 74 million miles on the clock and last seen in a field in kazakhstan. But the capsule which took major tim peake into space and brought him safely back again is an invaluable piece of British History. Its going on display at Londons Science Museum today, where our Global Science correspondent Rebecca Morelle is for us this morning. Global science correspondence doesnt do itjustice. Its gone beyond global yes, i am here Science Museum and behind me you can see the Soyuz Capital that brought tim peake up to space and more importantly, brought him back down to earth. Apprising the small when you see it up close. She gets a sense of what it must have been like in there. Three people crammed in. You can see the Scorch Marks Outside where it re entered backstreet the atmosphere when temperatures reached up atmosphere when temperatures reached up to 5100dc. Well be talking to little later but a select group of people that had the delight of going up people that had the delight of going up into space and had the amazing experience of going up in one of these. One is them is doctor Helen Sharman. Visit bring back memories . Does it . Sharman. Visit bring back memories . Does it . We do get the chance to get up close to see one up close even for astronauts. Inside, get up close to see one up close even forastronauts. Inside, it looks like The Real Thing in the simulators but to have one that has actually flown into space is a real excitement stop here at the Science Museum, you have this. Ways it important to get these pieces of space history on display . This is space history on display . This is space history on display . This is space history but actually, its not just history. This is something that really happened in our lifetime. Its very recent history. People can remember not just the thing its very recent history. People can remember notjust the thing but its very recent history. People can remember not just the thing but what it signifies. This is a british astronaut, tim peake, he put britain back into the realms of Human Spaceflight where we are competing again on the international stage. We we re again on the international stage. We were so again on the international stage. We were so proud of him and it will inspire many more people to do more things, notjust associated inspire many more people to do more things, not just associated with space at all that space offers and the excitement of science and Engineering Technologies and mathematics that you need to understand in order to make missions like this possible. Its interesting that tim peake might have another chance to go back up, maybe in a soyuz maybe in another capshaw. Would you like to go back up . Every single astronaut would like to go back up. Everything goes back to normal except for one thing and that would be a longing to go back. Normal except for one thing and that would be a longing to go backm anything on the earth ever the same again afterwards . Space is so different to anything that you do in life. There are many exciting things in life, of course there are. But there is this opportunity to do something that you will never be able to do again. It isjust the most natural and relaxing thing to be able to float around in space. All these things that you can do in science. Thank you, helen.

As a result, the jamaican team, including bolt, has been stripped of its gold, meaning he can no longer claim to hold the famous triple triple. You cant rerun race and get those medals back. In usain bolts case, we all know that was his last olympic games. So it has gone from nine medals, which was unbelievable, to eight medals, but what he has achieved is still amazing.

Can you think of anything more terrifying, not being able to see properly and skiing at 100 mph down a mountain . Brilliant. Youre going to stick with us because we are going to talk American Football. Iam American Football. I am trying to pass myself out and look little bit taller, but i dont think it will work. It is as Quintessentially American as hot dogs and cowboys, but American Football continues to grow in popularity here in the uk. Nearly 3. 5 million british viewers now tune in to the super bowl. The nfls fan base tops 13 million in the uk. Tickets for the first nfl game in london in 2007 sold out injust 90 minutes. And that has been replicated by subsequent sell outs ever since. But if youre still not convinced, well speak to two Former Super Bowl winners in a moment about next weeks game. First, heres a taste of the last one. Welcome to the stadium as we are getting set for super bowl l. The ball is free touchdown he lea ps the ball is free touchdown he leaps and scores touchdown in trouble to the end zone touchdown they are the world champions. They have just one super bowl l. Won. They know how to sell it. It is the drama. Former super bowl champions Osi Umenyiora and jason bell join us now. Good morning and thanks for coming in. Osi, you are an ambassadorfor the nfl to the uk. That means you have to sell the game in the uk . Thats what i am trying to do and so forehead has been easy. Nfl is a fantastic game. So far it has been. Why do you think it is popular here . You have to understand the dynamics of American Football. It has something for everybody, with the ur vig, tall, fast, slow, whatever. Whether you are big. So when they see the incredible athleticism on the field they enjoy it and obviously its a very american game. Theres a Special Relationship between america and the uk. Weve been hearing about that i think thats why they enjoy it. Maybe you can get the big Ambassador Job in london as well for someone who doesnt understand it, a lot of the uk audience, give us the basics. The basics . Follow the ball. Always follow the ball. You look at the line scrummage, the big guys at the front, and you see whoever is moving forwards and backwards, thats usually who is winning the game. The nfl, theres a lot of talk about it, like cricket, and it comes across as more complicated than it is. If you watch it you can pick it up quite easily. There are millions of people watching it in the uk. Our people getting out and playing it . Does it translate to people having a go on the pitch . Absolutely. Maybe about two or three weeks ago i looked to the left and saw a big field and people were playing with their full kit and gear people were playing with their full Kitand Gearand people were playing with their full kit and gear and that threw me, because i had never seen that before. So from what i understand a lot of universities are playing it, a lot of kids, the game is increasing in popularity and we are really happy. Do you think perhaps people see it as a slightly safer version of rob d, because you have the helmets, the pads . Rugby. Is it safer than rugby . Weve been talking a lot about concussion and head injuries. The risks are obviously there. Are you safer with a helmet on . I dont know if it is safer. I know it is definitely a better sport, but i dont know if it is safer. In all fairness rugby is a great sport, i enjoy watching it as well. But the nfl, theres really no comparison. You are part of the bbc highlights show. When you are doing the punditry, is it different doing it in the uk . It is. Youve got to get the basics down. I forget how ha rd get the basics down. I forget how hard the basics are, you take it granted because youve been playing it for so long, but then you explain it for so long, but then you explain it and you feel it is intricate, but it and you feel it is intricate, but it is fun and exciting. There are so many stops and starts. I enjoy watching it when its happening, but i look back on 1. 5 hours and i think i waited more time in the gaps. I look back on 1. 5 hours and i think i waited more time in the gapsm gives you time to talk to your friends it gives you time to do the commentary. You get to do all the things you want to do. Thats why you have to watch these guys on the highlights programme. We cant let you go without asking. These guys have won the super bowl. We have some enormous events in the uk, the fa cup, grand slams in tennis, nothing quite compares to the scale of the super bowl. What does it feel like to win the super bowl . Incredible. Other than the world cup theres really no other sport like that, theres no other game like that, theres no other game like that in the world. To be able to win that, and all of these little kids dream about playing this game for their entire life and once you get out there and you can do it and win at twice, twice theres absolutely no feeling like it. It is an incredible completion. You feel like you are in paradise. One day i will achieve something that is minutely on the scale. We achieved something. We came on this show with you guys and it is almost like the super bowl we should stop the interview there. Thank you. Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories this morning heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. This morning is a cold start to the day. In cardiff, it is plus three, edinburgh, plus one. Today, wherever you are, it will feel cold. Largely down to the bitter wind. Again, it is coming up from this Cold Continent and it is dragging the cold air right across our shores. First thing this morning, it is cloudy as well is called. Watch out forice cloudy as well is called. Watch out for ice on untreated surfaces because it has been damp, a wee bit of drizzle. Some of us could also see some Snow Flurries. There will be went to be enough to build a snowman. Be went to be enough to build a snowman. Breezy be went to be enough to build a snowman. Breezy across be went to be enough to build a snowman. Breezy across most of the country. Northern scotland is standing out. From the word go, you will see some sunshine. One of two brighter breaks as you come south. Essentially, fairly cloudy across the bulk of england but across southern counties, later in the morning and into the afternoon, you will see the cloud breakup and a sunny spells developing. Dont be full, it will feel better despite the fact we have sunshine and temperatures up to about six. For wales, we will also see some sunshine come through but for most of wales and in towards past of the midlands, we hang on to the cloud. As we head into northern ireland, a cloudy and damp day. The newcastle, the maximum temperature is freezing but if you are exposed to the wind, it will feel against your skin more like 6 it will feel against your skin more like 6 because of the wind chill. As we had on through the evening and overnight, it will still be fairly windy. Then we have the next cluster of Weather Fronts coming our way ringing unsettled conditions as we had on through friday. Friday we will start off on a cold note. Maybe the odd pocket of frost and fog around. One ortwo the odd pocket of frost and fog around. One or two wintry flurries in the east that they wont last. Out towards the west and the north, we will see the Weather Fronts coming in, introducing patchy, light rain. With those, we will see higher temperatures in the west and it will become less cold in central and eastern parts of the uk. Im using the terminology wisely because it wont be mild. In between showers, bright spells and sunshine. As is the nature of showers, you can see the nature of showers, you can see the next area waiting in the wings. It will bring rain across other parts of england. Dry and brighter with sunshine, john and steph. Thank you very much indeed, carol. We will be finding out more about how the economy will be doing. Figures out later this morning are expected to show the british economy finished the year strongly. Ben is in Central London for us this morning. As carol was saying, you must be freezing. It isa it is a freezing this morning. We are on the rooftop of their institution of engineering and technology. We will be keeping a close eye on the figures. We get the figures to the end of last year, the last quarter of last year. It is the Economic Growth figures, the gdp figures. It will show us how we fared as a country economically but there are a lot of questions about there are a lot of questions about the year ahead because of uncertainty because of brexit and also the fall in the value of the pound could have fed affect the money in our pockets. We have experts for us. London, the money in the pocket. 2016 was quite a good year but concern about the coming year. Inflation, uncertainty. A lot to contend with. Yes. 2016 was a good year. Much better than most economists was expect in. Inflation is rising, double between october and december last year. Some people are talking about 3. 5 . Wages are rising, everyone is doing quite well but prices are rising faster than wages. Consumer demand which has been driving this economy is probably going to be a bit lower. We are probably going to be a bit lower. We a re really probably going to be a bit lower. We are really looking for it to tail off in the second half of the year but good figures today. David, we will feel the fall in the value of the pound, which we . It will squeeze our incomes because things will get more expensive. That is the flipside. Is more expensive. That is the flipside. Is down more expensive. That is the flipside. Is down about 12. 596 against the euro. We are starting to feel it through the supermarket and also some of the stores. A definite feeling of pain. People are much more discerning, we have seen horrible figures come out. You will find because 84,000 people lost their job find because 84,000 people lost theirjob at the beginning of 2016 out of a workforce of 2. 4 million out of a workforce of 2. 4 million out of a workforce of 2. 4 million out of the retail sector. People are on theirguard. As out of the retail sector. People are on their guard. As bronwyn says, the ability to have disposable income will be very much more carefully watched as it is done today and it will likely effect of gdp. I wont be the prophet of doom. The beautiful city of ours will have billions of Tourist Spending lots of filthy money. I hope it leads through to give everybody an upbeat feeling about life. There is an element that we will deal with this come what may. There are a lot of things for the economy to content with that we have been through worse. The 2008 financial crisis and have come through. This isjust worse. The 2008 financial crisis and have come through. This is just one of the things. It is robust but we are ata of the things. It is robust but we are at a point where the Global Economy is doing much better. European economy, is to risk it. The uk is doing well. They have ready put up Interest Rates in the us. They may have to put up Interest Rates in the uk because some manufacturers are reaching Capacity Constraints and so that usually means that inflation will go higher. If it does. We might see the bank of england raising rates. Ithink it will be constrained. A lot will depend on whether the pound takes another beating and import prices going up. A lot of uncertainty around. We will chat more later. You might be able to see london coming to life behind me. Everybody commuting into the city. I have noticed a fair fewjoggers wearing short shorts this morning. I would rather them than me because it is lolling freezing down here on the banks of the thames. Lolling. It is 753. You are watching brea kfast. It is 753. You are watching breakfast. Just before eight aem, lots of people will be heading off to school to begin their works to the day. For many kids, they mate the day. For many kids, they might have been looking after their mum or dad who might be poorly. And that affects people doing their schoolwork. Research from the carers trust show that more than half struggled to meet deadlines. Holly Holly Hamilton has been to meet two sisters who care for their mum to find out how they cope. Meet claudia and leonie. Did mum take her tablets . Just nine and 13, they have big dreams of becoming actresses. But right now theirjob is taking care of their mum. When she had a heart attack she got Tunnel Vision and then it is hard for her, because she cant see. I do a lot of tidying, packing things away and keeping things off the floor, because when things are on the floor she will trip over them easily. I was the kind of mum that did everything for her children, the running around, the picking up, and they relied on me for everything. And then suddenly i couldnt do anything for them and found that they were having to do things for me. Thats what weve been learning about. The two are young carers, like more than 700,000 children in the uk. Many providing care for over 50 hours a week. So its no surprise that a survey by the carers trust found that more than half of those aged 16 25 were struggling with school work. Homework is the thing i struggle with because im always doing loads of chores and stuff and then i have to find time to do all my homework. Local Council Bosses say it is vital young carers are identified so they can get the support they need to achieve their life ambitions. You see everyone and you think, oh, theyre so lucky, they can do all of that, but then you think, oh, wait, i cant do that. But then i also think it is important that i help her out and i like being responsible for her, because it makes me feel special. Claudia and leonie are getting help from their school, which means they can focus on their schoolwork and looking after mum. What does the word carer mean for you . Well, when i think carer i think its not normal, a normal life. Like when you are an actress you have a big role to play, but then when you finish doing that part you need to stop, but its like youre doing that role forever. What wonderful young children. Holly hamilton reporting. After 8 30 well be joined by the Chief Executive of the carers trust to find out more about their concerns and discuss what can be done to make life easierfor young carers.

First, our main story. Theresa may will call for a renewed Special Relationship with the United States, when she addresses republican politicians in philadelphia later. A day before she becomes the First International leader to meet President Trump, the Prime Minister will argue for greater co operation in the fight against terrorism. Our Political Correspondent chris mason is at westminster. This is really important for both sides, isnt it . For President Trump and theresa may. What can we expect to come out of this visit . Crucially, it is a chance for the two lea d e rs crucially, it is a chance for the two leaders to get to know one another. It is often in underestimated how important the personal relationship is. The two leaders need to get to know one another. And overcome some differences. Not least the criticisms that theresa may has made of now President Trump in the past. But also on specific aspects of policy. I know youve been talking this morning about what donald trump has been saying about the potential reintroduction of what is known as waterboarding, what many people see us techniques of torture. The British Government has been very explicit in the past. It doesnt cooperate with foreign governments that use techniques that are seen as torture, or are seen as cruel and degrading. Potentially tricky spot the former Prime Minister. On a personal level, it is a chance a pretty tricky spot for the Prime Minister. It is a chance to get to know donald trump in this away day at philadelphia, and one a human level, a chance to get to know one another, there has been an exchange of gifts, we are told the Prime Minister is taking a hamperfrom her country retreat in buckinghamshire. Ba kewell tarts amongst the country retreat in buckinghamshire. Bakewell tarts amongst the things that hamper im told. She is also going to take an agent scottish a rtefa ct, going to take an agent scottish artefact, it is a cup. It dates back to the cilic language in the 15th and 16th century. That is a nod to President Trumps mother, originally being from the isle of lewis. She heads west with the bakewell parts. In the building behind you, in parliament today, they are thinking the other way across the channel, about europe and brexit. What is the significance of this paper which is going to be introduced before mps today . What we are going to get in the next couple of weeks is what we could describe as a lot of westminster around brexit. The building behind me needs to draw up a new law to make this process of brexit start, the so called triggering of article 50. Today, we get the outline of that new law, what is known as a bill. The government will publish that in the next couple of hours. From then, the debate can truly begin. We will get proper debate in the commons and the lord of all of this starting next week. Chris mason in westminster, thank you. When she visits washington tomorrow, theresa may has said she is not afraid of having a candid conversation with President Trump, who said he believed that torture could work to get information out of suspected terrorists. Donald trump said he would seek further advice from the cia before deciding whether to bring Back Techniques such as Water Boarding. Speaking to the american abc network in his first televised interview since becoming president , he also repeated his pledge to make mexico pay for a wall along its border with the United States. Heres our washington correspondent, david willis. Could america be set for a return to the Interrogation Methods of old . A Draft Executive Order suggests its Commander In Chief could be preparing to return to the dark days of waterboarding, by reopening the so called black site secret prisons operated by the cia. In his first tv interview since becoming president , donald trump made clear he is considering scrapping an order by his predecessor that Terrorist Suspects be treated in accordance with international law. Torture works, the president declared. When theyre chopping off the heads of our people and other people, when theyre chopping off the heads of people because they happen to be a christian in the middle east, when isis is doing things that nobody has ever heard of since mediaeval times, would i feel strongly about Water Boarding . As far as im concerned, we have to Fight Fire With fire. Reports suggest mr trump is also due to announce plans to close americas borders to refugees, for a period at least, and implement tougher Visa Restrictions on citizens from certain predominantly muslim nations with links to terrorism, what is known as extreme vetting. In an effort to quell the influx of Illegal Immigrants from mexico, mr trump has signed an Executive Order to begin work on building a wall between the two nations. A multimillion Dollar Venture that he insists mexico will be made to pay for. Ultimately it will come out of whats happening with mexico and we will start those negotiations relatively soon and we will be in a form reimbursed by mexico. So theyll pay us back . Absolutely, 100 . That has ruffled the feathers of americas southern neighbour. In an address to the nation, mexicos president said they have no intention of footing the bill. The mexican president is due in washington next week. He faces difficult discussions with an american counterpart clearly determined to reverse many of the changes brought about by barack obama. David willis, bbc news, washington. Lets have a look at some of the other stories this morning. Royal bank of scotland is taking another financial hit for mis selling risky mortgages in america before the financial crisis hit in 2008. The bank, which is more than 70 owned by the taxpayer, will be fined an additional £3 billion by the Us Department ofjustice. A major report into the health of children in the uk has found an alarming gap exists between the rich and poor with one in five young people suffering as a result of poverty. The Royal College of paediatrics and child health also suggests the uk is lagging behind most western European Countries when it comes to measures such as Infant Mortality Rates and obesity. Our Health Correspondent, Dominic Hughes, reports. Hi, im sophie. And im an emotional wreck. Anxiety, depression and a need to be listened to. These are the themes of a short play on Mental Health, devised by School Students in liverpool. I need help. The issues they touch on reflect those in todays report on the health of children and young people. It paints a picture of the uk struggling to match other countries and even falling behind. The evidence has been developing for some time that all is not well with our Childrens Health. Its The First Time we have really put together a proper picture across all four countries, and the news is not good. Some of the issues that Raise Concerns over the state of child health include just 34 of babies breast fed to six months, less than half the rate in norway. 40 of children in englands most deprived areas are overweight or obese, and half of Adult Mental Health problems start before the age of 14. And for the drama group in liverpool, Mental Health issues are a real priority. Mental illnesses are an illness of the brain, and theyre as valid as any other illnesses to any other part of the body. Just because you cant see it physically, it doesnt mean it isnt there. Our production will mainly be to get rid of that stigma about Mental Health, and just educate the audience a bit more about Mental Health. The four governments of the uk are all challenged to consider the impact their policies will have on children. Theyve responded by restating commitments to improve Childrens Health. Almost half of all hospitals are failing to meet basic government standards for Hospital Food, according to data released by the Department Of Health. The campaign for better Hospital Food warns the situation is diabolical. The government says the standards are legally binding and performance is improving. The spacecraft which took major tim peake to and from the International Space station is going on public display today. The Soyuz Capsule, still scorched from its re entry into the earths atmosphere injune, is now at the Science Museum in london. Our Global Science correspondent Rebecca Morelle is there. I should say extraterrestrials science correspondent it must be an exciting day, having a good look at matt . It is an amazing thing, really. Just behind me we have got tim peake reunited with his soyuz spacecraft. This is a craft that took him up into space and safely back down again. Its incredible, its pretty small, really. You can imagine three people crammed in there on the way up, sitting on top of 300 tonnes of rocket fuel, and on the way back down again, flying through the atmosphere, temperatures reaching 1500 greece centigrade. You can see the scorch marks all down the side there. This is a piece of spacious history that is being put on display. It is bought by the Science Museum from the Russian Space agency for an undisclosed amount, they are not saying how much they paid. For tim, amount, they are not saying how much they paid. Fortim, it amount, they are not saying how much they paid. For tim, it must be quite an emotional moment seeing it. We we re an emotional moment seeing it. We were talking to Helen Sharman, the first brit in space, she said you get a patch to the spacecraft, it is essential for the most dangerous pa rt essential for the most dangerous part of the mission attached to the spacecraft. It is now on display for everybody to come and see, a piece of history at the Science Museum, and tim peake with it. Banks, rebecca. We will be talking to major tim peake himself, hopefully in about ten minutes. He looks a bit busy at the minute well let him do his tours. Do you think they got a discount for the scorch marks on the scratches on the side of it when becks marked its not exactly a new vehicle. Before we finish this section of the ant and dec won the prize for best tv presenter for the 16th year at last nights National Television awards. Do they always win at . they literally storm it every year, dont they . Other winners included mary berry for bestjudge, what a lovely lady, she was over the moon. And Strictly Come Dancing picked up the gong for best talent show. Emmerdale was voted best soap, and itvs this morning won best live magazine programme. Beating us at but we dont mind, because we just love ourjobs, its lovely to be here. We didnt get to go to the party, but were not bitter. Its not the winning that counts. Its not even the party that counts, its just being counts. Its not even the party that counts, itsjust being here counts. Its not even the party that counts, its just being here with you every day. Sincerity is in from every pore Childrens Health in the uk is injeopardy, with higher death rates and levels of obesity than in much of europe. Thats the warning from the the Royal College of paediatrics and child health. In a major report out today, the body also highlights a growing gap between rich and the poor children. Lets find out more on this from dr ronny cheung, whos from the Royal College of paediatrics and child health. Thank you very much indeed for joining us here this morning. These are bold warnings and claims. What makes you so are bold warnings and claims. What makes you so sure are bold warnings and claims. What makes you so sure that things arent as bad as the picture that you are painting . Well, this is the first opportunity to manage and really pull together all of the data around child health in this country. Across all four nations. Across 25 Health Indicators across the board, what we have seen is that for many of them, we are not doing as well as we have been doing, and certainly not as well as compared to our neighbours, our comparable neighbours in western europe. For instance, in terms of our Child Mortality levels, the rate of child deaths in childhood, we have gone from being amongst the best in europe, 20 or 30 years ago, the now being amongst the worst. As you have said earlier on, the gap between the outcomes for the poorest and the most affluent children in this country is growing. Again, that pattern is replicated across all indicators. We have a statement from the Department Of Health, who say it is a top priority for the government. They say they have dealt with tobacco, a soft drinks levy, obesity strategy. We have similar statements from devolved governments. If all thatis from devolved governments. If all that is going on, why do you say we are not seeing the improvements . We welcome a lot of the strategies and policies that have come through from the government, but we dont think that some of them have gone far enough. We need to be bolder in some of our strategies and policies that come through. For instance, things based in good evidence, such as minimum alcohol pricing, thinking about a tax levy on high sugar and high fat foods, and reducing the advertising of those foods to young children. It goes a little beyond that. Wed like to see, firstly, a focus on tackling child poverty. As isaid focus on tackling child poverty. As i said earlier, poorer children are unhealthy children. And they will become the unhealthy adults in 20, 30 years. We are storing up problems if we dont tackle this now. We should think about a unified national strategy, a cross Government Strategy for child health which looks at all areas of policy and has child health embedded in all of those, be that in health, the economy, in social care, and also education. You say in this report that we are falling behind other countries in western europe what are they doing . Are there lessons that we can learn or is this a cultural, social thing . That we can learn or is this a cultural, socialthing . With all of these things, it is different. There are lots of different causes. We know that poverty is an issue, but we also know that public health, in other words, an investment in services that help tackle the causes of ill health, has been reducing significantly in this country in the recent past. I think if we dont manage to reinvest that money and that support for families and young children, we will not be able to manage. We wont be able to get on top of the problem and we will be chasing after it by investing more in health care and Health Care Problems in the future. Thank you for joining problems in the future. Thank you forjoining us. I wonder what time it feels like to carol. She has had three hours sleep. I saw a picture of her in a 24 hour supermarket. What time did you get to bed after the tv awards . Quarter to midnight. What might you look very fresh. Quarter to midnight. What might you look very fresh. You look very fresh. How was the weather . Very fresh today, it will feel quite bitter. We are pulling in all this cold air from the near continent and its going to sweep across our shores. Wrap up warmly. You will feel it. I will show you that in a second. There is also a lot of clout. Here and there are, it is they can offer drizzle or the odd snow flurry. There is the risk of ice on untreated surfaces, roads and pavements alike, first thing this morning. In northern scotland, a cold but Beautiful Day from the word go. The rest of scotland and parts of Northern England will see some brea ks of Northern England will see some breaks in the cloud, but there is a lot of cloud around. The cloud will start to break up in southern counties of england, and some of us will see some sunshine. The far south of england and into the south west. Although there are temperatures of four celsius in barnstaple, in the wind, it will feel colder. A lot of cloud in wales still, despite the breaks. There could be some doubt and drizzle in northern ireland. Three celsius is the maximum temperature in glasgow. With the wind chill, it will feel more like freezing. Through the evening and overnight, still quite a windy one in prospect, then we have a cluster of Weather Fronts moving in from the north and the west. They will introduce more unsettled conditions in the form of rain. It is still quite windy. This cold Continental Wind is still coming our way. A frosty start for some tomorrow. Milder air way. A frosty start for some tomorrow. Milderairstarts way. A frosty start for some tomorrow. Milder air starts to sweep into the west. Less cold air moves across central and eastern areas. It is certainly not going to be mild in central and eastern areas. On saturday, a mixture of bright spells, sunshine and showers. Then you can see what is waiting in the wings for sunday. There is still some uncertainty as to where this low pressure will end up. We think at the moment it will bring rain to parts of wales in southern england. It might get this far north, but it might stay further south. If you are doing something outdoors, do keep in touch with the Weather Forecast. Further north, it looks at this stage like it will stay dry and find with some sunshine. Temperatures continue to climb. The maximum temperature in london today is run about one celsius. By sunday, it will be a leading celsius. Carroll, one more to go and then it is home time the spacecraft which took major tim peake to and from the International Space station is going on public display today. The Soyuz Capsule, still scorched from its re entry into the earths i should say extraterrestrials science correspondent it must be an exciting day, having a good look at it is really cool seeing that union jack going outside. There he goes major tim peake is at the Science Museum for us. Good morning. And stood in front of it, does it bring back brilliant memories when you see your capsule . Good morning. Yes, it certainly does. I arrived good morning. Yes, it certainly does. Iarrived here good morning. Yes, it certainly does. I arrived here about 30 minutes ago, and this was The First Timei minutes ago, and this was The First Time i had seen this capsule since the 18th of june time i had seen this capsule since the 18th ofjune in kazakhstan, and it has brought back all the memories of the mission. We have seen some pictures of your trip to space. Tell us about the capsule. It looks fairly small to, fairly small, to be honest. It comprises three pieces. The other two pieces separate just before we come back to thes atmosphere and they burn up. The heat shield was jettisoned before landing as well, and this is the only part that comes back to earth, with the three crew members and about a hundred kilos of cargo. Above me is also the huge canopy which brings the capsule back to earth safely. Obviously, an important part of your life, but a brilliant bit of science and British History for everyone to see now. Brilliant bit of science and British History for everyone to see nowm is, it is wonderful to see this actual back in the uk. For everybody who gets to visit, i hope it will be a great source of inspiration and will maybe so the seeds for young people. I remember seeing this type of exhibit in museums as a child and being inspired. It has done a fair few million miles in its time what is actually inside it, then . Inside is actually inside it, then . Inside is just about enough room for the three crew members. I looked in the window this morning, and it even has the seat liners that were moulded to our bodies. They are still in there. In addition, the control panels and all the other bits and pieces that enable us to control this spacecraft during launch and re entry. It really does have one careful user, it is in great condition. It is the incredible to see it here and this cd scorch marks. Coming back into thes atmosphere is very punishing that any space vehicle, so to see the punishment this capsule has been through this morning is incredible. Doing what you did is very rare and very expensive tell us a bit about why your trip was so important, what was the return on investment. From an economic sense, it makes absolute sense for the uk to be involved in human space flight. We get a huge return on our investment around 21. In return on our investment around 2 1. In addition to the economic return, it is great for our industry to be involved and for the Science Community to be involved. We are doing great science on board the Space Station. We have started dna sequencing and genetic research. Also, for educational inspiration was not so there are many great benefits in being involved in the space benefits in being involved in the space programme, now and benefits in being involved in the space programme, now and in the future. And i understand you are going back to space in the future . Yellow like the Space Station is going to go until 2024 at least. The European Space agency and the uk will be involved until then. It gives us a Second Opportunity to go back to the Space Station. In fact, some of my colleagues are already going back for their Second Mission next year. It is great for european astronauts to be able to go back and continue our involvement in the space continue our involvement in the space programme. Continue our involvement in the space programme. An absolute treat aduu space programme. An absolute treat adult you. Thank you forjoining us. I would buy a used space capsule from him hello there, good morning. Cold is the theme of it across the board today. Particularly when you factor in the wind. That wind is coming in from the near continent, where of course it has been really cold recently. And that cold air is heading our way. Its also dragging in a fair bit of cloud to start the day today, as you can see on the satellite sequence. Although the north of scotland is showing something a little bit brighter. But pretty extensive cloud elsewhere, fairly low cloud, so some fog over the hills. Not the really Poor Visibility at low levels that weve seen recently, but a cold start today. Were still hovering around about freezing for many. Maybe not quite so cold towards the far south and west, but still, pretty chilly in the wind, which is strongest towards the west. And through the morning, that low cloud mightjust produce the spot of drizzle, maybe the odd flake of snow. But most places will be dry, bit on the grey side. But there is sunshine to be had in northern scotland. We will keep that going into the afternoon. Elsewhere, its a pretty grey afternoon. But there is a lot of dry weather to be had. We will see the cloud beginning to break for the southernmost counties in the afternoon, the western side of wales also beginning beginning to brighten up. On the face of it, were just about creeping up above freezing. But for most places it will feel like it is a subzero day. Feeling particularly cold in Northern England. And then through this evening we start to see the wind switch around to a more southerly direction. But still quite a noticeable wind into the day on friday. We start off with a touch of frost, and it will feel pretty chilly once again. Although out west we are beginning to see a bit of a change. The Weather Fronts trying to push in, bringing thicker cloud and some rain. And slightly milder air. We will see 8 10d in belfast, and in cardiff. But head towards the north east, and its still pretty chilly. Saturday starts off a bit wet and windy in the south eastern corner. That moves away, and then its sunny spells and showers. And temperatures are beginning to recover. We will see another spell of rain spreading across much and wales as we go through saturday night and into sunday morning.
