now he's got a new heart. it's 50 years ago today since the first ever heart transplant, we'll find out what's changed since then and what challenges lie ahead. and darren has the weather. hello, good morning. a lot of this damp and drizzly weather will clear away this morning, allowing skies to brighton, a bit more sunshine around as well but tonight could turn a bit colder. join me laterfor as well but tonight could turn a bit colder. join me later for all the details ash to brighten up. —— to brighten up. good morning. first, our main story. children will be able to get access to mental health support at schools or colleges in england under plans announced by the government this morning. £300 million of funding will be made available in a joint initiative between the departments of health and education. campaigners say the measures are welcome, but long overdue. edward curwen reports. ididn't i didn't have any therapy, it was just to talk about things... cnr, not her real name, has had a leading disorder and depression for the last five years but for nearly half of that time she was waiting for the right kind of help. ijust felt i've never been properly treated for the mental side, theyjust sort of put mental side, theyjust sort of put me in hospital and my physical side is bad and then to treat anything else and they wonder why it keeps happening. she says once support was offered in a hospital, that service was still hundreds of miles away from home. just over a month ago, a review by the care quality commission found that young people we re commission found that young people were facing long waiting times and unequal access to mental health services that could be put in their lives at risk. now the government's allocated £300 million from the departments of health and education. the measures include the piloting of? >> four—week waiting time for young people to get treatment. for all primary and secondary schools to get mental health awareness training and you joined up mental health support teams through schools and the nhs. the promise we want to make two parents up and down the country is that if your child has a mental health issue, we want to make sure that you get the help much much earlier than happens at the moment and if possible we want to work within the school system to prevent that condition deteriorating. labour, though, says it questions whether the plans will enable every school in england to provide support, while the charity young minds says there's still a long way to go with chronic underfunding for so to go with chronic underfunding for so long. edward curwen, bbc news. and injust over an hour we'll be speaking to the royal college of psychiatrists about this, that's at 7:10am. all four board members of the government's social mobility commission have stood down in protest at what they say is a lack of progress towards a fairer britain. ex—labour minister alan milburn, who chairs the commission, said he had little hope the current government could make the necessary progress, but downing street insists it is working to provide opportunities for all. here's our political correspondent, alex forsyth. when theresa may became prime minister she stood in downing street and made a promise. the government i lead will be driven not by the interests of the privileged few but by yours. when it comes to opportunity, we weren't in trench the advantages of the fortunate few. we will do everything we can to help everybody, whatever your background, to go as far as your talents will ta ke to go as far as your talents will take you. but the government's senior adviser in improving social mobility has now left his job with immediate effect, saying he had little hope the government could make progress in bringing about a fairer britain. in his resignation letter, alan milburn said the government was: a sentiment he shared on bbc brea kfast last a sentiment he shared on bbc breakfast last week. there's a lot of talk around from government about healing division, promoting social justice, but right now it's heads seem to be consumed by brexit, for understandable reasons, and it doesn't seem to have the headspace to inject the necessary energy or focus into addressing these issues. his departure, along with three senior members of his team, has been described as a loss by some campaigners. downing street said it had already told mr milburn had planned to appoint a new chair as his term of office had ended. a spokesman said the government was committed to fighting injustice and had made good progress. alex forsyth, bbc news. let's speak to our political correspondent, jonathan blake. we heard in that report theresa may making those pushing in this area has been like pushing water up the hill and theresa may has been talking the talk but not walking the walk. downing street has said the government is committed to tackling social mobility, and it points to things like doubling free childcare in england and increasing the living wage but this adds to a period of difficult time for the government and it shows the prime minister theresa may that even when you're in power there's so much you can control. thanks very much, we will speak to you later. leading brexit supporters, including former cabinet ministers, are urging the prime minister not to settle britain's brexit divorce bill unless the eu agrees to a series of demands. a letter organised by the leave means leave campaign group says the conditions include the uk and the eu agreeing a free trade deal before the end of next march. donald trump is facing accusations of obstructing justice after suggesting that he knew his former national security adviser, michael flynn, had lied to the fbi before he fired him. the president's comments in a tweet yesterday contracticed his previous account and prompted claims he knew about the deception when he asked former fbi directorjames comey to drop his investigation into mr flynn's contacts with russia. today marks the 50th anniversary of the first ever human heart transplant. the procedure, completed by surgeon christiaan barnard, raised a number of ethical questions at the time. since then, transplants have developed and today there are around 250 patients in the uk waiting for a new heart, and almost 200 receiving one each year. new measures to protect parts of britain's coastline and around 150,000 rare birds will be announced today. the uk's so—called blue belt, which protects marine areas, will be extended to several parts of the country. the hope is that it will give animal and bird life greater protection, as tom burridge reports. parts of britain's coastline are rich. diverse habitats and important breeding grounds for a wide variety of birds. so the government wants to protect them. we know about greenbelt, now more coastline will be classified as blue belt to protect certain species. like these manx shearwaters, rescued a few yea rs manx shearwaters, rescued a few years ago in pembrokeshire. these birds are also found in the irish sea off anglesea, an area which will now have the new protected status. so too will 2a miles of cornish coastline. it means that in total 650 square miles of sea and coastline around the uk will now be classified as blue belt. lundy off the coast of devon, already a marine conservation zone. important work to protect the life in and above our waters. tom burridge, bbc news. that's got to be good news after the blue planet and all the stuff we saw in the sea there! if you look to the sky this afternoon or overnight you could be in for a treat because the moon will appearfar bigger and brighter than usual. the full moon in december, which you may not know is traditionally called a cold moon, will be closer to earth than usual in its orbit. that means it qualifies as a super moon. it'll be brightest at midnight when it's at its highest point above the horizon. nasa has called this weekend the first in a super moon trilogy because over the next couple of months the phenomenon will happen twice more. you know what, i was doing a bit of research about this earlier... that is good, isn't it? it will be father christmas doing that with his reindeer and his sleigh in a few weeks. fantastic. i was reindeer and his sleigh in a few weeks. fantastic. iwas doing research about the idea of a cold moon, there has to be a scientific explanation, it's just because moon, there has to be a scientific explanation, it'sjust because it moon, there has to be a scientific explanation, it's just because it is december and it is cold. is that it? i guess you have the harvest moon and the harvest time. i thought it would be different because it's not winter everywhere in the world but how you look at them depends on where you are in the world so winter is the explanation. we rarely see it in salford because it is a bit cloudy and miserable here! hopefully people in other parts of the country will enjoy it. let's look at the papers, the sunday times, one of the stories we've been talking about this morning. may betrays families that voted for brexit. this is the resignation of the board of the social mode and the commission. theresa may is claiming to build a country that works for eve ryo ne to build a country that works for everyone but that was undermined after the public body responsible for boosting social mobility resigned en masse —— social mode that commission. looking at the sunday telegraph, another front—page dominated by politics, tories at war over europeanjudges dominated by politics, tories at war over european judges and looking into the text of that, this is the whole row about the role of the european court of justice whole row about the role of the european court ofjustice after brexit and the extent to which that should have some role, we have the big meeting tomorrow between the prime minister and the president of the european commission, led your talk about that tomorrow. definitely for you! 0n the front of the sunday mirror, british racing dogs sold for meat in china. these greyhounds that are bet on hundreds of thousands of pounds by the betting mad far east, once they come to the end of their racing days, they suffer awful abuse and they are sold on for meat, shocking if it is true. a look at the mail on sunday, a politics lead, as is traditional on a sunday morning, corbyn peer in expenses scandal is the claim from the mail on sunday. a senior aide tojeremy corbyn was plunged into a major expenses scandal last night is the claim from the mail on sunday. regular fodder for tabloids in particular to take a good look at the expenses associated with members of the house of lords. you can't help notice that meghan markle is still all over the front of every paper and here she is on the front of the sun, more pictures from her past and jamie and louise redknapp to divorce, which is very sad news. meghan markle on every paper. you have definitely run out of fingers and toes if you try to count the number of pictures of meghan markle in the sunday papers, unquestionable! but it was happy news, thought the first time in weeks we weren't talking about brexit or theresa may. talking about something happier. but we knew it was coming, there was a lot of speculation about how imminent it was but to get the news and to see them in nottingham a few days later and the smiles and all the rest of it, it was nice. royalist or not, it was nice to get a break from it. you're watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: the government plans to boost specialist mental health support in schools and colleges in england. the board of the social mobility commission resigns, saying ministers are too focused on brexit and failing to do enough to tackle inequality. we might struggle to see the super moon because it's a bit gloomy here. let's have a chat with darren and see how it will look for the rest of the week. you think we are going to see the super moon in the uk? i loved your explanation of the super moon, chris. i think we will see it because the weather is improving today and the cloud should be breaking. a better chance of seeing sunshine and temperatures reasonable for the time of year. it means there will be clearer skies for the first part of the night and we could see the super moon. at the moment a fair bit of cloud spilling down across the uk, thick enough to give rain and drizzle on the weak weather front. as that continued use —— continues to run southwards, the damp weather heads across southern parts of england. tending to move away from most areas and allowing cloud to break from the north. skies will brighten and sunshine will come through. for the far south—west we had on the cloud. devon and cornwall, perhaps a few drizzly showers. a good part of wales and the midlands brightening up. a struggle to get much sunshine in the south—east, but at least it's milder than yesterday. yesterday temperatures 9— ten. further north although we have the sunshine temperatures will be lower than yesterday and we've still got the damp and drizzly weather in northern ireland and a few blustery showers towards the northern isles. the damp weather continues to run away into scotla nd weather continues to run away into scotland and western parts of wales, the far south—west of england. clearer skies further east and perhaps the cloud breaking. patchy fog overnight. chilly for the eastern side of england. temperatures won't be far from freezing in the countryside. a chance of seeing that super moon and a chance of seeing some sunshine tomorrow. the mist and fog tending tomorrow. the mist and fog tending to lift and the cloud breaking in some areas to give us sunshine. it's a mild westerly wind across the uk. temperatures 9— 10 degrees, so pretty good for this time of year. look at tuesday and you will notice more arrows on the chart. the wind is picking up on tuesday, a sign of things to come. it's a mild west or south—westerly wind, 8— 10 degrees. many places will be dry, but rain is arriving in the north—west and that will turn heavy and it will work its way south eastwards across all areas around the middle part of the week. this rain could be heavy enough to give localised flooding, accompanied by lively winds. even towards the end of the week the wind remains strong, but change direction totally. much colder eye the end of the week. there will be sunshine around, but it's a return to wintry showers. not a great deal happening in the next 2a hours. all the excitement comes later in the week. excitement indeed! i really like it when it snows. that image of the rain told its own story. we've got the headlines coming up at half past. now it's time for the film review. hello and welcome to the film review on bbc news. to take us through this week's cinema releases, as ever, mark kermode. hello, mark. what have you been watching? very interesting, we have the disaster artist, which is the story of the making of the best worst movie ever. happy end, the new film by michael haneke. and wonder, a very touching drama starring jacob tremblay. the disaster artist. yes. even watching the trailer as many times as i have now, even the trailer, you're sitting there like this. have you seen the room? this is part of my question, you need to explain all this. basically it's the dramatised retelling of the making of the room which tommy wiseau made in 2003. it's a film that was so bad that it spawned a whole cult following, people go along to join in the screenings, much in sort of rocky horror show style. tommy wiseau basically wrote, directed and starred in it and financed it. now we have james franco who plays tommy in the film directing and producing this film based on a book by greg sesestro, who was a co—star in the room, who is now played by james franco's brother, dave. we're keeping up. you're keeping up so far? we're keeping up. so essentially greg is a model and one actor and we first meet him in a theatre studies thing, he's doing a terrible version of waiting for godot, and then suddenly tommy comes up and takes one word from a streetcar named desire, "stella ! " and does this writhing piece. greg is completely entranced. he said, "this is amazing. you've got so much talent, you're so uninhibited, how do you do it?" and tommy says, "well, ijust believe in myself." and together they go to los angeles and they decide they'll make it and become stars, but hollywood rejects them and so tommy, who appears to have a, no fixed age, b, no fixed accent and c, untold wealth, no one knows where he comes from, writes his own movie. here's a clip. the room. nobody writes it yet. so today you will be the first one. i can't believe it, man, you did this. and of course you play mark. you want me to play mark? it's a big role. second lead. yeah, it's a huge role. are you sure? if you don't want to do it, fine i'm having johnny depp available. no, no, iwant it, iwant the role, i'll take it. it's like you say, hollywood rejects us, then we do it on our own. and you have the money to make this? i have, it's no problem. you're really going to make this thing? no, greg, we are going to make it. mark has just laughed about 20 times during that clip. i've seen that film twice and both times... but here's the key to it, firstly the fact that tommy's such a strange character, he says he's from new orleans and his accent sounds like he's from outer space. but what i like about it, there's a film made by tim burton caled ed wood about edward d woodjr, who made plan 9 from outer space, which was previously thought of as the worst film ever made. and the reason that film worked was you didn'tjust think ed was a terrible filmmaker, you thought he was a visionary, you believed in the film even though it was terrible. now, in the case of this, tommy appears to actually believe that the film he's making is a tennessee williams level drama and he really thinks that he's making some incredible piece of art, and the reason the disaster artist works is, yes, the filmmaking is terrible, yes, the endless takes of the same lines and the awful script and the bad acting and the awful direction that's in the room, yes, all those things are there, but it only works because you also believe that beyond it there is something of pathos, there is something of tragedy, there is something of the dream about tommy that makes him acceptable. we see him behaving appallingly on set. the film doesn't shy away from the fact that on set he did behave, you know, really, really badly. do you need to have seen the room to get the joke? i don't think so because i think... i mean, for a start, you see the room, it makes no sense anyway and when you see the individual scenes that they're recreating, i mean, it makes sense because you understand that basically tommy... at one point seth rogen, who is playing the script supervisor, says it's not to do with whether he's made a movie, has he even seen a movie? he genuinely has no idea how to do this. i thought it was really funny. i thought it was dark when it needed to be dark. i thought it had a strange sort of dreaming charm about it that in the end it's a story of triumph over adversity, by making something that's so catastrophically terrible that it ends up getting celebrated. and it made me laugh twice all the way through. 0k. well, i'm intrigued. you done that for me, i'm definitely intrigued. happy end, is that an ironic title? it's a michael haneke film. it's the closest he'll get to making a farce. this is a michael haneke film about a bourgeois family who behind the facade, there are foul lurking secrets and the cast includes isabelle huppert, jean—louis trintignant and tobyjones, our very own tobyjones. as with all haneke's work, it's engrossing, it's creepy, it's unsettling but there's also a very strange sense of deja vu. there's a thing early on with video phone footage that reminds me of benny's video, a very early film of haneke's. there's some other stuff which has got surveillance type footage, which makes you think of cache, of hidden. there's also a strange kind of left turn referral back to amour and the weird thing about all those films i've just cited, when we first saw them they were startling, they were original, they were surprisingly, this isn't. it's well—made. .. haneke knows how to get brilliant performances out of actors, he knows how to make something feel creepy and strange without quite telling you what it is. but it did feel like we were retreading old ground. i think he's a great filmmaker but this is that weird thing, but to me this felt like... and i never thought i'd use it, and of incidental haneke film. itjust felt like, "0k, there we go, that's the new haneke film." that's it, that's it. and we'll move on. and it lacked that element... i remember when i saw amour, just thinking, "i can't believe he just made that movie because it's just so breathtaking and this isn't. " wonder, what did you make of this? i've read such divided things about this. have you? i haven't read other reviews so i'll tell you up front, i liked it. it's adapted from rj palacio's novel by stephen stephen chbosky, who's best known for perks of being a wallflower. story is jacob tremblay is a young kid, augie, who is really interested in science, really interested in space, and has spent most of his childhood being homeschooled because he's had a series of facial operations as a result of a rare genetic condition. now, as he becomes a fifth grader, he's going to school for the first time so it's a thing about going to school, which is difficult enough, also made more difficult by the fact augie understands that he is different to the people with whom he's going to have to interact, and it's about, at the beginning, thatjourney. here's a clip. now, i gotta stop here because past this point is a no dads zone and you don't want to walk up with your parents because it's not cool. but you're cool. i know i am but technically most dads aren't, so... neither are these helmets. hey, two rules — first, only raise your hand once in class no matter how many answers you know, except for science. crush them all. check. second, you're going to feel like you're all alone, augie, but you're not. check. shall we lose this? come on. costumes are for halloween, prepare for blast—off. i love you. i love you too. have fun. bye. so owen wilson, julia roberts and of course, jacob tremblay. you can see from that, lots of laughs in that clip and it's also something that tugs at the heart strings. it's also more complicated than it looks like. at the beginning you think you're going to see from his point of view but actually what happens is the narrative fractures and you see the story from lots of different characters' point of view. from the point of view of his sister, who feels that she's been neglected because all her parents‘ attention have gone to her brother. you see the sister's friend, who is no longer a friend, and you find out her back story. even boys in the film are given context for their bullying. so i thought for a start it's a much more complex narrative than people have perhaps given it credit for, it has perhaps a kaleidoscopic structure. the other thing is the film made me laugh and the film made me cry, and those are difficult things to do. people take them very much for granted and think it's very easy to do. it's not easy and it works because the performances are good, the script is well honed, and it felt like to me a film that was made with heart, with care, by people who were telling this story and they really cared about the way the story was... yes, there is sentimentality in it but i think it is sentimentality that it earns. i mean, i cried a lot, i laughed a lot, i was really engaged with the story and i went in slightly suspicious because i'd seen the trailer, which was a little bit... you didn't know quite which way it was going to go but i thought it was a pretty terrific piece of work. and jacob tremblay, he's a really, really talented young actor and i thought that the director handled it with exactly the right degree of schmaltz and seriousness. i laughed, i cried, it worked. 0k. best out this week? battle of the sexes, this came out last week and this is the fictionalised or the dramatised story of the tennis match between billiejean king and bobby riggs. it became called the battle of the sexes. there was a documentary about this almost exactly the same name in 2013. again, going in to see the drama, the documentary was so great, will they be able to capture that spirit? and they do, they really, really do. emma stone is great as billiejean king. steve ca rell absolutely inhabits this clown, you know, male chauvinist soon roll of bobby riggs. the texture of the film is great, feels like a film that was made in the 19705. it's got an important lgbt story at the centre of it, it's got political relevance, it's very, very personal. again, it's funny. it is a comedic drama and it's all true. the weird thing is you're looking at it and you think, they must be making this stuff up and then you see the documentary and it's absolutely true. yes, fantastic. quick thought about dvds for anyone who wants to stay in? my feral heart came out last week, we weren't on last week, but this is a really, really great indie pic. one of my favourites of the year, directed by jane gull. steven brandon is a young man trying to find his place in the world. it's a film that did brilliantly with the ourscreen programme in which people put on screenings in their own cinemas. it really found its audience. it was a film with a very, very low—budget. again made with an enormous amount of heart and it is terrific. it's called my feral heart and i defy anyone not to be won over by it. excellent. i am looking forward to that one. thank you very much, mark. thank you. a really interesting week. thank you. just a reminder, of course you can find all film news and reviews from across the bbc online. and all our previous programmes are on the iplayer as well of course. and that is it for this week. enjoy your cinemas going. bye— bye. hello, this is breakfast with chris mason and katherine downes. good morning, here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. children in england will be able to get support for mental health problems at school or college under plans announced by the government this morning. £300 million of funding will be made available in a joint initiative between the departments of health and education. campaigners say the measures are welcome but long overdue. all four board members of the government's social mobility commission have resigned in protest at a lack of progress towards a fairer britain. the commission's chair, the former labour cabinet minister, alan milburn, said the current focus on brexit meant ministers were unlikely to have the energy needed to tackle one of the biggest challenges facing the uk. downing street insists it is working to provide opportunities for all. donald trump is facing accusations of obstructing justice after suggesting that he knew his former national security adviser, michael flynn, had lied to the fbi before he fired him. the president's comments in a tweet yesterday contradicted his previous account and prompted claims he knew about the deception when he asked former fbi directorjames comey to drop his investigation into mr flynn's contacts with russia. rail passengers across england are facing disruption this morning after electric wires near london euston station were damaged. network rail says there will be no services in and out of euston until at least midday while repair work is carried out, delays are likely on services between london euston, watford junction, birmingham and manchester. the centre of buenos aires became a huge ballroom last night as argentinians celebrated national tango day. the dance originated in the argentine capital around 200 years ago when outdoor sessions known as milonga became popular. look at that! not a fizzy drink insight. maybe i'm betraying my ignorance about dancing, but it is more slow and sedate than i imagined. you've been watching too much strictly. i don't think there's too much room on a dancefloor like that to be dancing like that. you would be tripping your feet over the next person! here's holly with the sport. from marathon dancing sessions to marathon cricket sessions, how is it going? i'm a bit worried about the second test. everyone is worried after yesterday, doesn't feel... we aren't as confident as we were coming into this, we thought this would be the second day and we will come out... we did come out fighting today, though, iwill give come out... we did come out fighting today, though, i will give you that. i'm worried if they lose this one, they are 2—0 down and then the momentum... the dreaded whitewash. the urn is in touching distance for australia. throw in the rugby league as well and every time australia get an inch it is doom. we shouldn't really play australia, england should avoid australia at all costs but a much better start than we had this time yesterday! england's stuart broad took a wicket in the first over of the day in adelaide but australia are building a strong position in the second test. broad trapped peter handscomb leg before wicket to reduce the aussies to 209—5. but they recovered. tim paine made 57 before craig 0verton had him caught by moeen ali. and then not long after the first interval, broad struck again, mitchell starc caught by james anderson. shaun marsh has also passed 50. australia are 323—7. ben stokes is back in action, don't get too excited, though, he's not in adelaide but in new zealand where his much—anticipated return to cricket with the bat was disappointingly brief for canterbury. he was dismissed forjust two runs, with his team stranded on 8—3. the all—rounder, who's suspended pending a police investigation for an alleged assault, didn't take any wickets either. manchester united and arsenal fans may have onlyjust caught their breath after yesterday's spectacular match at the emirates. that 3—1 win for united ending arsenal's long winning run at home and moves them within just five points of manchester city, who have a tricky match at home to west ham this afternoon. meanwhile, there were victories for chelsea and liverpool, and a couple of new managers on show at west brom and everton, as tim hague reports. arsenal versus man united has been one of the premier league's premier fixtures over recent years and this match showed why. sensational from start to finish, too early united goals including this one from jesse lingard, then numerous arsenal chances and saves by david de gea. commentator: brilliant save, fantastic! unbelievable, david de gea. while alexander lacquers at the these and you just after half—time, united broke away and sealed an impressive victory in a match with 41 shots on goal. amazing character by the players, amazing attitude from every one of them. they showed also amazing character in the difficult moments of the game and the game gave us difficult moments, arsenal gave us difficult moments. there was also one self—inflicted difficult moment for mourinho's men, the late sending—off of paul pogba. he has trodden right on the back of his knee, paul pogba, and paul pogba will miss the manchester derby next weekend. with city not playing until todayit weekend. with city not playing until today it was a chance for the likes of chelsea and liverpool to close the gap, with edin has it getting two for the blues in their win over newcastle two for the blues in their win over n ewcastle — — two for the blues in their win over newcastle —— edin hazard. two for the blues in their win over newcastle -- edin hazard. no lack of confidence there, too for him and three for chelsea. all were in free scoring form, they hit five at brighton and back in the top four —— liverpool. long way ahead of their local rivals everton. they have a new manager in charge. and they are starting to find their feet this season. victory over huddersfield getting sam alla rdyce season. victory over huddersfield getting sam allardyce off to a solid start. and there was another new man in charge yesterday, alan pardew backin in charge yesterday, alan pardew back in the dugout at west brom and facing old side crystal palace in his first match. no goals but to struggling sides in need of a few more points. tim hague, bbc news. no major shocks in the fa cup second round yesterday. the best performance came from famous giant—killers hereford. they took the lead at fleetwood through calvin dinsley but were held to a 1—1 draw. look out for them to see if they get any of the premier league giants in the third round draw on monday night. in the scottish premiership, celtic have extended their unbeaten domestic run to 67 games. they thumped motherwell 5—1 thanks to a stunning hattrick by 0dsonne edwar. meanwhile, hamilton salvaged a point against hearts at tynecastle. hearts playing for over an hour with ten men in the match, managing to score after the break through jamie walker, but hamilton cancelled that out in the 69th minute to keep it level. a frustrating game, though, with the two sides having to be separated by the end of the match. to rugby union and wales finished their autumn series on a high, but onlyjust! they raced into an 18—point lead after half an hour in cardiff and with two tries from new zealand born hadleigh parkes on his debut. the springboks rallied to take a second half lead but leigh halfpenny won it with a penalty. 24—22 to wales and head coach warren gatland was happy with his side's progress during the series. we've played australia, south africa and new zealand so we're pretty happy with the way that we've done it and we've scored three tries today, two against the all blacks. it and we've scored three tries today, two against the all blackslj can't remember how many against australia. but, you know, ithink that's a positive way to go. the future of wayne bennett could be in doubt after yesterday's agonising 6-0 in doubt after yesterday's agonising 6—0 defeat to the aussies in the rugby league world cup final. the hosts scored the only try of the game in the first half through boyd cordner and despite a valiant effort england couldn't find a reply. england players clearly devastated by the result as australia were crowned champions for the 11th time. in his post match press conference bennett refused to talk about his future. it will be an all—british final at the wheelchair tennis masters later after gordon reid and alfie hewett won their semi—finals yesterday. both won in straight sets and whoever comes out on top today will be the first british winner of this event. and tiger woods long—awaited return to competitive golf hasn't had the best start, fading from contention in at the hero world challenge in the bahamas. the former world number one started his third round seven under par but five bogey‘s yesterday meant he dropped three shots overall to move back to four under. charley hoffman of the united states is the club house leader on 14 under, with england's justin rose in second place. nice to see tiger woods back. he hasn't played for however many months. he said he spent pretty much all of the last two years in bed and we expect him to come back winning as soon we expect him to come back winning as soon as we expect him to come back winning as soon as he we expect him to come back winning as soon as he comes we expect him to come back winning as soon as he comes back. the world number onejust as soon as he comes back. the world number one just after he comes back. seven under par until a rough couple of holes by the sound of it. he is tiger woods, though! he has still got it! we will speak to you in the next hour or so. 50 years ago today the first ever heart transplant was carried out a landmark surgery that's revolutionised treatment for heart failure. the need for transplants is increasing. in the uk the waiting list has trebled by 162% in ten years. there were 198 procedures last year, a rise of 2%. the surgery comes with a lot of risks, but half of people who have a transplant will survive for at least ten years. currently there are around 23 million people signed on the uk donor register yet three people in need of a donor die everyday. scott rutherford had a heart transplant almost ten years ago. he joins us now along with federica marelli—berg from the british heart foundation, who is in our london newsroom. scott, how are you now and how were you before your transplant? how i am now is completely different. nine yea rs now is completely different. nine years ago my life prior transplant, my health was that bad that i couldn't brush my own teeth and tie my shoelaces and walk up and down the stairs and walk to the bathroom from the bedroom. i was blue lipped, severe pain, chest pain, couldn't breathe, i thought every time i went to bed it wasn't going to be it. being 14 or 15 with those thoughts isn't particularly great. fortu nately for isn't particularly great. fortunately for me i got my call and my heart transplant was a complete success. i have gone on to go to newcastle college and studied musical theatre and i've been on the west end stage and i've travelled to egypt and canada, america, i have spokenin egypt and canada, america, i have spoken in parliaments in regard to organ donation and now my life is incredible compared to what it was. tell us about the day you woke up after the transplant. i remember waking up in intensive care and just instantaneously feeling alive. even though i was canyon aged and had all these troops in my chest, ifelt though i was canyon aged and had all these troops in my chest, i felt the urge to get up from the bed and run around the hospital and i looked at my fingertips and i thought, oh my god, they are pink! i touched my face and they were warm. i looked in the mirror and face and they were warm. i looked in the mirrorandi face and they were warm. i looked in the mirror and i saw a completely different boy, went from being this blue boy to this pink boy, pardon me, and it wasjust blue boy to this pink boy, pardon me, and it was just this blue boy to this pink boy, pardon me, and it wasjust this most incredible feeling and you can't even put it into words the sheer feeling of waking up like that. even put it into words the sheer feeling of waking up like thatm proves what an incredible operation it was that anyone walking past you in the street or seeing you on the sofa this morning would have no idea the scale of the procedure that you went through, clearly it has made a massive difference to everything in your life. absolutely. i have got nine extra years, in september this yeari nine extra years, in september this year i celebrated nine years, the way i see it is it is nine extra birthdays and christmas is, i'm now the uncle to two beautiful nephews. my the uncle to two beautiful nephews. my mum has got their son back and my dad has got their son back and my sister has their brother back, it is this ripple effect, it is a drop in the water, one person can save a person's life but they are also saving other people's lives. it's a ripple effect and compare the two before the transplant, my life is incredible. thanks for sharing your story. —— compare the two. you do your research in the cardiovascular immunology side of it. —— compare it to. scott has a lot of drugs to make sure that his body doesn't reject the heart. —— compare it to. that was the problem 50 years ago, bodies we re was the problem 50 years ago, bodies were saying we're not going to have this foreign body inside, we are going to kill it and push it out. how has the technology and drugs and immunology side of things improved since those early days of the procedure? it has clearly made giant steps from the initial transplants that were rejected very quickly. however, as you mentioned, the therapy these patients take is incredibly toxic because it kills off all the immune cells which are so off all the immune cells which are so important to fight infection. my research with the british heart foundation at queen aries at the university of london is mostly aimed at finding an alternative way to suppress the immune system that rejects the transplant —— suppress the immune system that rejects the transplant -- queen mary two's. either by blocking his memory of the transplant, so the access to the immune cells that kill the transplant are blocked, or by expanding the guardian of the immune system, which are a subset of cells which go to the transplant and protect against the toxic response. is that why. .. protect against the toxic response. is that why... for a lot of people we assume somebody like scott gets a new heart and that is it, they are fixed, they get to go and live a normal life and run around and do whatever but the reality is most people live for around ten years after they've had their heart transplant. is that because of those immunosuppressive drugs, that they actually prevent people from living longer lives, that's the problem? the immunosuppressive drugs have a queue or for the problem, the immunosuppressive drugs have a queue orforthe problem, one is the immunosuppressive drugs have a queue or for the problem, one is the infections, because they suppress the immune system indiscriminately. —— to your. and also cancer —— cure for. if we could get rid of that that would be great. the second problem we have is the new response against the transplant is acute and can become chronic. the acute response is very easily controlled by the drugs we have available, however the long—term response, which is called chronic rejection, sometimes can take over and reduce the survival of the transplant. federico, thanks for joining the survival of the transplant. federico, thanks forjoining us from london and scott, thanks for coming in. the effect of those drugs is com pletely in. the effect of those drugs is completely over wiped by the fact that you have a healthy heart and you live a healthy life? absolutely. it isa you live a healthy life? absolutely. it is a small price to pay, i do suffer some pretty horrendous side effects but i'm alive, i can't be any more thankful and i can't be any more grateful. 0bviously my family and my donor family more grateful. 0bviously my family and my donorfamily made more grateful. 0bviously my family and my donor family made that selflessly brave decision at such an awfully tragic time and my donor john went on to save many more people, bar just john went on to save many more people, barjust me. as i said before, one person can save nine people per slice, it takes two minutes to sign on the organ donor register. —— nine people's lives. even though you are signed up your family can block your decision so have the conversation. if you do sign up, be someone's hero but have a conversation with your loved ones and allow them to know your wishes. we will be talking to you later but thanks for your time so far. and federico, thanks for your time. here's darren with a look at this morning's weather. a bit quiet for the next 24 hours, but it will kick off later in the week? we will fluctuate wildly on the weather over the week ahead. at the moment things are pretty quiet. an improving day. drier, brighterand perhaps sunnier weather a rising from the north. at the moment there's a fair bit of cloud spilling down around an area of high pressure that sitting to the west. that's rotating around the cloud and with ita rotating around the cloud and with it a couple of weak weather front. this one is bringing damp and drizzly weather, which is working southwards. damp weather moving across southern england. the cloud breaking up behind it and sunshine coming through. that will improve the day. some areas will hang onto cloud, such as the far south—west of england, the hats even western parts of wales. but we could have the sunshine coming out in other parts of wales and into the west midlands. east anglia and the south—east, a struggle to break the cloud this afternoon, but he won't be as cold as yesterday. temperatures further north not as high, but we will have sunshine. in northern ireland the cloud comes in from the west. further damp and drizzly whether a rising. showers into the northern isles of scotland and gusty winds. western areas being more cloud overnight. further east, the cloud brea ks overnight. further east, the cloud breaks up and it will be colder than it was last night. maybe a pinch of frost in the countryside. mist and fog patches. a chance to see the super fog patches. a chance to see the super moon. fog patches. a chance to see the super moon. a mix of the day on sunday. nothing moving very fast. a few showers coming into western areas. an improving start in the south—east of england. 10 degrees here. further north, 7—8 degrees. eastern scotland pretty good for this time of year. into tuesday we start to see the wind picking up and this is a sign of things to come. still a mild wind. decent temperatures, 8— 10 degrees. notice the rain we've got in the north—west. it's turning heavier and steady. into wednesday and early thursday that rain will sweep south—eastwards across the uk. it will be heavy rain and accompanied by gale force winds and there could be localised flooding as well. then we get this wild fluctuation, the wind direction changing midweek. instead of the windy south—westerly we have the wind coming from the north again and very quickly by the end of the week it will be turning much colder. it will feel cold and really strong winds as well. quickly those showers will turn wintry, with snow on the way. what a stunning picture. is that the yorkshire dales? it is. well spotted! it's a beautiful part of the country. thanks. personalised weather. brilliant. now it's time for the latest technology news. he is click. —— here's. over the past few years, some of the most fascinating technologies we've featured on the show have been the ones that help people with disabilities. as the world's first bionic games proved, the possibilities now emerging offer so much potential, whether it be in mobility, sight or hearing, we've seen how life—changing technology is tantalisingly close. this weekend sees the international day of people with disabilities and that's a great chance for us to devote a whole programme to the latest tech developments in the area. now, in the uk, around 5% of all railjourneys are made by those with a disability or a long—term illness. a quarter have reported problems with using public transport. the rail company london midland is hoping to improve accessibility for its disabled passengers with a new app, passenger assist, and we asked emily yates to try it out for us. i'm emily yates and i'm just planning my train journey to birmingham. it requires a fair bit of advanced booking. i'm confident travelling by myself, but i'm not a huge fan of the train, which is actually why i'm making this journey. i've heard about an app in development called passenger assist that could be a game—changer for disabled travellers. thank you! i think anybody watching this who's disabled will probably agree with me that you can have some pretty horrific travel journeys if you're disabled. i've been left on the train before, i've booked assistance and somebody has said, "yeah, we're going to come and meet you," and i've been left on the train unable to get off and i've had to go four orfive stops down the line to be able to come back again so i'm really excited to see what this app has to offer. thank you! i've got this new app which is currently in development and i'm just about to fill in my own profile. what's brilliant about this app is it asks things like, "do you need room for a guide dog, do you have a hearing impairment, do you need a ramp, do you need help buying a ticket?" so, roxanne, i've added my profile details and now i've just planned a journey. this is obviously in development but this is how it would work. i've put in myjourney and now it should come up on your phone any minute. here you are. you've got my picture and everything so you know exactly what i'll look like. i know what you look like, know what to expect, i press "i'm here to help." brilliant. i can send you a message saying i'm here, my name is roxanne. 0k. back on the train for me and now i have this. passenger assist is being developed by start—up transreport under the guidance of london midlands lab. we've brought the staff phone on the train too, so we can see how the app works for them. so right now the phone is tracking both the staff member and the passenger. we're obviously in the same place so you can see the two dots are quite close together. they're using the technology such as bluetooth beacons, wi—fi, 4g, gps, we can use multiple tools. you know exactly what carriage i'm in even. yes, down to the carriage, we can pinpoint less than one metre to your location and find out which carriage, which train and the direction of travel you're going in as well. and it's notjust about the app. transreport is also making trackable wristbands and these key fobs, they'll be available for those unable to use phones as easily. let's face it, in a world where we can now track our pizza delivery by the minute, having to book train assistance 24 hours in advance seems a little old school, and this way staff will have information at their fingertips too. transreport hope to roll out the app across the london midland service early next year and the plan is for the entire uk rail network to be able to access it byjune, 2018. if there's one thing disabled travellers need that the current system doesn't provide it's the reassurance that someone will be there to help and not leave them stranded when getting on or off the train. accessnow really began with my own reality. someone using a wheelchair to get around, i'm consistently frustrated when i show up at places and i don't know if they're accessible or not until i get there. countless times i show up and there are steps or other barriers that prevent me from doing the things that i want. and so i was really motivated to try and solve this problem and the way that we've gone about doing that is by creating a mobile app that can simply allow people, who've experienced accessibility needs, to share information about what is accessible on their own communities and around the world. it starts by selecting a place, then rating that place as accessible or partially accessible. patio access only or not accessible. you can go one step further and add a description. so you can say things like, "i showed up at this place, the customer service was fantastic." so this cafe looks like it's not accessible. there's two steps here at the entrance. but when i look at my app, i can see there's an alternative entrance through the building here, that will let me into the cafe. so let's check it out. i think for me the main magic, the most exciting part about accessnow, is that the information is all crowd sourced from people who have experienced accessibility needs in their own life, or arejust motivated to get involved and share information. we started in toronto, with a couple hundred pins, and now we've reached over 20,000 pins throughout the world. but we really want to make this a global movement. there are many times where people who have mobility needs, they're isolated in many ways and it's simply because, you know, from the way i see it, it's not people who are disabled but it's our environments that are disabling. so if we can remove the barriers that restrict people from engaging with their communities, with their workplaces, with their lifestyles, i think we can come to a much more inclusive world for everyone. i've come to dorset 0rthopaedic, a private company that fits amputees with prosthetic legs, from running blades to hyperrealistic looking limbs. 0ne sport that's always been very hard for me is snowboarding, because my normal feet are designed specifically for walking. but here, they've got some feet that could make that easier. the requirements of a foot are quite different with skiing compared to walking. with normal walking, you need a foot that has a fairly small range of movement that gives you energy back, so as you roll over the foot you get some push off at the end to help your walking. with skiing you need more movement in the foot to compensate for the uneven surface and you also need some shock absorption, so when you go over a bump or you land on the ski you need some of that shock taken out and that's what this does. while i'm left to my own devices, kevin agrees to fit my legs with some of these feet so i can give them a go. this requires a lot of honing and alignment to make sure i'm not pushed too far forwards or backwards. ta—da! my legs! so i'm quite intrigued as to how these are going to feel. i actually have no idea. oh, wow. if you push your weight forwards, you should be able to feel the movement in the ankle. oh, wow. oh, yeah, there! that sensation i've not felt in the ten years since being an amputee. these feet work by putting air into an adjustable cylinder, which controls the amount of resistance in the foot. more air and more resistance. as well as giving this movement, shock absorption in the foot means that going over rocks or bumps is easier. but they're not cheap. with the price of £2,500 each, it means only some people can get access to them. it's clear that they're not for walking. they're very, very rigid, very square and very hard. but if i let my mind go and imagine myself snowboarding, which i've done badly in the past, i can feel that and they move and that's weird, because i have not felt my feet move in that way for ten years. there's only one thing left to do and it's try the feet out on some proper snow. i've come to an indoor slope, but i've got to admit i'm feeling very nervous. this is emma gillespie, a prosthetist who's agreed to come with me to fit the feet and help me try them out. so you've boarded on these before. yeah. and how was that? hard. but you did it. yeah. so, one leg. this is what you don't see about being an amputee. when i've snowboarded previously on my normal walking feet, it's been really difficult. but these offer much more and the way they're set up offers a natural bend in my knees, a stance that's almost impossible on my usual legs. ok, here we go. 0h, she's going! try and think about your posture a bit. and a turn! woohoo! ok, so it's been a while since i boarded and expecting an instant result is probably asking a bit too much, but the best thing for it is to keep throwing myself down this slope and see what happens. despite the technology of these feet, there's only so much they can do when it comes to hitting the slopes. the real work is definitely still coming from the person. and if you're not very good, they're not going to stop you from falling. laughs i mean, i'm soaking wet. that last fall has drenched me. but it's amazing when you merge technology and disability. it's about giving people independence and the feeling that they can try things that they perhaps thought weren't there for them. so it's fun, but now i want these feet and they're expensive. that's it for the shortcut of this special version of click for this international day of people with disabilities. the full version is iplayer and you can keep an eye on the bbc‘s disability stories throughout the year on our website. thanks for watching and we'll see you soon.
