the river seine. 16 and 17 year olds in wales could get the right to vote in local elections as part of new plans to keep them interested in politics. good morning. and in sport, england have work to do if they're to end their one—day series with another win over australia. joe root is the only man to pass 50 as they are bowled out for 259. for me personally, the culture that i grew up in, it's a dream release, a dream come true. the artwork by banksy that's appeared on a bridge in hull, and why one councillor thinks it should be cleaned up. and susan has the weather. a lot of cloud. fingers crossed for some breaks. a mild day. more in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop in west london. a 28—year—old man was arrested on friday night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a car mounted the pavement in hayes. the three victims have been named locally as josh kennedy, harry rice and george wilkinson. jon donnison reports. three teenage friends on their way to a friday night party. their lives cut short. they've been named locally asjosh kennedy, george wilkinson and harry rice. he'd been a promising footballer with farnborough fc. "our thoughts are with harry's family and friends at this sad time," the club posted on social media. yesterday at the scene of the crash the community gathered to pay their respects and offer an impromptu tribute. they were killed when they were hit by this black audi as it reared up onto the pavement at speed. a 28—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. police are looking for a second man they believe was in the car who fled the scene. they're appealing for witnesses. there was a bus driver in front of us and he came over and said, "oh, yes, there's someone dead in the road, and at that point i relayed that to 999 and within five minutes an ambulance arrived. but officers say all three boys died at the scene. they‘ re appealing for anyone with any information to come forward. jon donnison, bbc news. we can speak to him now at the scene. a tragic story. what more do we know? you can see behind me a huge amount of floral tributes left yesterday for the three boys who died as they went to a party on friday night at the local football club. what we are hearing from police now is they are now looking for a second man who they believe was a passenger in the car. they believe they fled the scene. the police say there may have been more than two people in the audi car, but they are not sure at the moment. they are definitely looking for a second man. a 28—year—old man has been arrested for suspicion of dangerous driving. we understand members of the public apprehended that men before police arrived. —— man. just up the road there is a petrol station. we understand some witnesses have said some of the young boys' friends got into some kind of altercation, a fight, with the person who the police have arrested, and it was only after that that that man was apprehended. police are calling for anyone who may have witnessed the crash to come forward. thank you very much. jon donnison. paris remains on high alert, with water levels continuing to rise along the river seine. the country has seen some of the heaviest rain for a century, and the river is expected to rise six metres higher than normal. luxmy gopal reports. the swollen seine, still rising. more than four metres above its usual level, it's expected to peak at six metres by the end of the weekend. on the outskirts of paris, some residents have had to resort to travelling by boat through waterlogged streets. while in the city centre, the tourist boats are no longer operating, with only emergency services allowed along the seine. the past month has been the third—wettest here since records began in 1900. the impact of recent heavy rains is visible in the water levels lapping this statue of a crimean war soldier, known as the zouave, paris's traditional way of measuring the height of the river. the french authorities have been on high alert, and at a flood crisis meeting, the mayor of paris tried to reassure residents, saying the current situation isn't as bad as that of 18 months ago. translation: the flood is less significant, in terms of the volume of rising water, compared to that ofjune 2016, even if it remains substantial, because currently we are at 5.7 metres, and we should peak between 5.8 and six metres maximum. the flooding has already left hundreds of people without electricity, and evacuated from their homes. forecasters predict drier weather for the week ahead, but with much of the ground in northern france waterlogged, the return to normal will be a slow process. luxmy gopal, bbc news. a close friend and political ally of president trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the republican party after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him. steve wynn, a billionaire casino owner, was chosen by mr trump to be finance chairman of the republican national committee. he's alleged to have subjected dozens of women to unwanted sexual advances. mr wynn has described the claims published by the wall streetjournal as preposterous. meanwhile, donald trump has said he's not aware of any invitation to attend prince harry and meghan markle's wedding. in an itv interview, the us president said the pair looked "like a lovely couple," but when asked if had received an invite he replied "not that i know of." ms markle has previously called mr trump "divisive" and a "misogynist. " 16 and 17 year—olds in wales are to be given the right to vote in local elections, under plans published by the welsh government. if approved, wales would follow scotland, where the voting age has already been lowered for national and local elections. the labour party has called for the idea to be extended to the whole of the uk. the westminster government says it has no plans to do so. gavin thomas reports. after yea rs of struggle and campaigns by the suffrage movement, 1918 was the year in which the representation of the people act was passed in parliament. for the first time, voting was expanded to all men aged over 21 and to some women aged over 30. now, 100 years, on in wales the labour devolved government is planning to cut the voting age in local elections to 16. it follows the example of scotland, where a similar change came into force in 2016. there it also applies to national elections. the local government minister in cardiff bay says the time is right. i think everyone who pays taxes should be able to vote, and that means people who are 17 and people who are 16 as well, so i would like to see us moving the franchise to be able to allow younger people to take part in the democratic process. the minister says he wants voting to become more attractive and welcoming and he's spoken of his concern that younger people are becoming disengaged from politics. i think it would be a good thing for us to be able to vote because we would be voting for our future, but at the same time i don't think we get educated enough about politics. i think we are educated enough and 16—year—olds because we use our social media, we see the parties... the advertisements they put out there. the welsh government will formally announce the proposals on tuesday. gavin thomas, bbc news. we asked the uk government for a response and a spokesperson told us, "the age of 18, not 16, is widely recognised as the age at which one becomes an adult. the government has no plans to lower the voting age." the former northern ireland secretary and prominent leave campaigner theresa villiers has said she fears the uk is heading towards a dilution of brexit. writing in the sunday telegraph, she says there's a real danger the uk will sign up to deal which would keep us in the eu in all but name. a downing street spokesperson said the government is committed to delivering brexit and a deep and special future partnership with the eu. parking companies which use unfair practices are to be banned from accessing motorists' details and issuing fines. the government has confirmed it's to introduce legislation to try to improve standards among parking firms in england. ministers say they want to put an end to inconsistent rules, poor signage, intimidating letters and a confusing appeals process. a mural believed to be by the artist banksy should be removed from a disused hull bridge, a local councillor has claimed. images of the artwork were shared on banksy‘s official social media page on friday, appearing to confirm that it is, in fact, his own work. conservative councillorjohn abbott said it did not compare with real art in the city gallery. however, many of the local residents who gathered to see the mural disagreed. for me personally the culture that i grew up in, it's a dream really, a dream come true. it's really good. fantastic. i also like the way that the writing in it is like writing on a chalkboard or in a school when you look back on things. like the shoes, i think they've got a nice pair of shoes on. you got to have a nice pair of shoes on, don't you, rosie? did you see the little one in the background getting her picture taken? they put up something to protect it. people have stolen bits of plaster. they've been some of the most powerful images of the week. 156 women standing up one by one in a michigan courtroom, sharing their stories of abuse. they were speaking at the sentencing of larry nassar, a former us gymnastics doctor who's been jailed for 175 years for sexually abusing young athletes. the judge in the case said she wanted to give every woman affected the chance to speak out. let's hear some of what they had to say. i will always love gymnastics, but i will never be able to look at the sport the same because of you. and asi sport the same because of you. and as i looked to the future, i plan to pursue a career in criminaljustice. iam hoping pursue a career in criminaljustice. i am hoping that by working to put monsters like uae i might be able to stop the nightmares and start healing. -- you away. it is a court full of women with deep wounds. women are banding together to fight for themselves because no one else would do it. they will carry scars that will never fully heal. you have made the choice to play the guilt and shame on them. he molested me at the 2012 london olympic games. your time is up, abusers. the survivors are here, standing tall, and we are not going anywhere. your decision to assault was precise, calculated, many pillars of, devious, despicable. —— manipulative. many pillars of, devious, despicable. —— manipulativelj many pillars of, devious, despicable. -- manipulative. iwould not send my dogs to you, sir. you do not send my dogs to you, sir. you do not deserve to walk outside a prison ever again. lydia ward is a survivor of sexual abuse, who is a trustee of the charity, safeline. good morning. good morning. i don't know if you could hear all of that, but we have seen a lot in the media in the last week. what is your reaction? i think the sentencing is hugely appropriate. i think it is a massive step forward. the way it has been conducted seems to be revolutionary in some ways, the fact that all of these people were able to give a statement, saying how they feel. it is different to what i have certainly heard of before. i think there is just a certainly heard of before. i think there isjust a huge change in how people are feeling about talking about sexual abuse now, the fact that it about sexual abuse now, the fact thatitis about sexual abuse now, the fact that it is not such a taboo, it is not awkward, how do we deal with it let's not bother. and perhaps making it clear to other survivors of sexual abuse they can speak up about this. your experience, tell us about that, reading about that, it should not be a secret, private, good why talk to. hopefully this helps that. —— who do i talk to? we have to call these people survivors. they are not victims. this is about moving forward and reclaiming the power taken from you when you are abused. what happened to you? taken from you when you are abused. what happened to you ?|j taken from you when you are abused. what happened to you? i was initially first abused by a close family friend, someone my parents com pletely family friend, someone my parents completely trusted and never expected to be like this, as is the case. i am from a very nice background. it is that kind of situation. i was left with someone sporadically to be looked after by. that person sexually abused me between the ages of three and seven. i dealt with it by telling them i did not want to be left with them. i was questioned. ididn't i didn't say anything. at that age you know something is not right you are told it is a secret, we are a lwa ys are told it is a secret, we are always told that you should never share a secret, and again it gets back to language. nowadays i always talk about happy surprises. you can have a happy surprise, surprise means it has an end date and when that person finds out they will be happy about it, but you don't have secrets. and that is a really important thing. and again, for me, i was abused again by different person, and again, another trusted family friend, at the age of i think it was about 12 or 13. it probably sounds a bit strange that i am vague on it, but your brain keeps these things from you. i was 16 when i first started having flashbacks and suddenly went, like, goodness me, did that really happen? and then i went through a huge process of trying to come to terms with it, and trying to come to terms with it, and trying to come to terms with it, and trying to push it back away. and do i ever say anything? i was 30 when i first told my parents, and they were the last people i ever wanted to have to tell, because you don't want to have to explain to them that this happened under their watch, as it were, because you don't want them to feel blame or guilt. my parents were devastated when they found out. and iam one devastated when they found out. and i am one of the lucky ones, not eve ryo ne i am one of the lucky ones, not everyone has that experience. you talk a lot about surviving being about power and control, and getting to the point when you can confront what has happened to you but you ta ke what has happened to you but you take back that control. what was it for you that got you to that position, where you said i can deal with this? i was very fortunate that i found with this? i was very fortunate that ifound a with this? i was very fortunate that i found a charity called safe with this? i was very fortunate that ifound a charity called safe line, and they specialise in helping survivors of sexual abuse. and it really got to the point when i was like, i really need to get into the detail of this, and that is what that charity enabled me to do. detail of this, and that is what that charity enabled me to dom this case, how important is it that survivors waive their rights of anonymity? i think it is tremendous when people feel able to do that. i don't think there should be pressure on other survivors to have to do it, but the more of us that feel we have the support network around us to be able to do it, the more we can close the to—do lists. if people feel able to, it is a tremendous thing to do. you so much. —— thank you so much. here is susan with a look at this morning's weather. already outside already outside temperatures already outside temperatures around already outside temperatures around ten or 11 degrees across the majority of the british isles. mild air pushing across us today, and obviously it has a long way to travel across that water. it has picked up 20 of moisture and that has manifested itself in the form of cloud. so it will feel pretty springlike if you are heading out today but it will look pretty grey and gloomy for many of us. there could be a little bit of early brightness across the far east of england. it has been a bit clearer here overnight in the wind will be a bit gusty, so that might help to turn the cloud over in some areas, break it up a bit and let the sun through. then temperatures really will shoot up. stuck with the cloud today will be central and southern scotland. here, the dividing line between the very mild air of the north neighbourhood northern british isles and the colder air effect in the far north of scotland. northern ireland should become somewhat dry through the afternoon. some drizzly rain across the hills the northern pa rt rain across the hills the northern part of wales in the south—west, but to the east of the wash mountains, if the sun comes out we could see highs up to 15 celsius. so it is a mild story this evening, but then we will move back to our weather front in the north starting to sink its way south overnight. mild air to the south with the colder air to the north, and that will be a change from monday. monday morning starts quite chilly across scotland, with patchy frost, rain first thing across northern england and northern ireland. through the day on monday, the colder air along with a weather front will target is where further south across the british isles. so tomorrow will be a change in terms of the wave is feel, and for some, ona of the wave is feel, and for some, on a positive note, the way things look. once the weather front sinks further south we will bring in cooler but brighter conditions. sunshine tomorrow for northern ireland, and improving story in the afternoon for northern england as well. sunshine and showers for scotland. further south it could ta ke scotland. further south it could take into the afternoon to see brightness in england and wales, southernmost counties with thicker cloud and more rain. still double figures here, but those clear skies become quite widespread overnight into tuesday. so we could have a frost first thing on tuesday after this really mild start today. some quite big contrast in a short space of time. decent sunshine first thing on tuesday, more cloud as the day pans out and began the threat of the more persistent rain for the far north—west of scotland. more persistent rain for the far north-west of scotland. thank you very much. the secrets of tv, some things should be kept a secret! we will carry on stapling. the andrew marr programme is on bbc one this morning at 9:00am. andrew, what have you got coming up? well, my main interview today is labour leaderjeremy corbyn, looking forward to that very much. i am also talking to david liddington, who is in effect theresa may's number two. and talking through gritted teeth, i will be talking to piers morgan, who got the great donald trump interview. so theresa may, piers morgan, david liddington, all on after nine a.m.. thank you very much. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. tv critic emma bullimore is here to tell us what has caught her eye. we saw andrew saying he will be talking to piers morgan. piers morgan has interviewed donald trump in davos as part of the world economic forum, and this interview is airing tonight on itv, and has been picked up by a lot of the press. whatever your feelings about piers morgan and donald trump is likely to be the most watched tv event of the year so far, you will not be able to stay away. he is covering all sorts of different topics. harry and meghan's wedding, he hasn't been invited, and he says he hasn't been invited, and he says he doesn't want to be drawn into that. he is happy to be drawn into other things. he says on brexit theresa may should have been tougher, he doesn't say how, but thatis tougher, he doesn't say how, but that is what he says, and piers is delighted with himself, obviously. did they actually touch on the real issues? there has been so much criticism of his presidency, one—year—old, do they get down to the nitty—gritty of its? one—year—old, do they get down to the nitty-gritty of its? all the stuff that is in the press is about the fact he tweets in bed, the wedding, obviously, his views on elephant hunting and imports, that sort of thing. but there is not that much about the wall and it is difficult to tell. when you are granted an interview with someone, there are often terms which are laid out which no one sees about what you are allowed to talk about and are not, and it remains to be seen how much we will get into that stuff. they have gone for headline grabbing stuff at the moment at i hope there isa stuff at the moment at i hope there is a bit more substance to it. one of the big television events of the year. we have been talking about survivors in this rape case and sexual abuse case in the united states, and it has shone a light again on women standing up in refusing to be cowed by abuse or misogyny. and you have picked up this story, the white rose protest at the grammys. so obviously they have had the golden globes, and actresses wore black on the red carpet. it was a nice protest, but sometimes it feels like women are being subdued by wearing black, by admitting themselves. so for the grammys they are going for something different. roses being beautiful a nyway different. roses being beautiful anyway but white being a suffragette colour, and for the grammys they we re colour, and for the grammys they were never going to wear black dresses. this has caused a problem because florists were not expecting this demand for white roses and they are scrambling to try and get them. but it is great they are coming out in solidarity for this. it will be one of the few music events where ed sheeran will not sweep the board, he has not been nominated in the major categories. let's talk about a clinic to help people with what they call an online addiction, actually an addiction to pills being bought online, so people who are self—medicating. online, so people who are self-medicating. yes, so before this might have involved standing on a street corner and lots of people being too scared to do this. now on the internets, people are ordering these pills online in masses, so much so that a new clinic has been openedin much so that a new clinic has been opened in london, it is free on the nhs, and it sells things like xanax, the antianxiety drug being used medically and recreationally as well, and it is a huge ticking time bomb, so it is good they are doing something about it now. you have picked up a story, finally, from the mail on sunday. this is something that we hear so often about, that animals used in the police force, in the military as well, and often front—line victims have been attacked as well. well, this is a beautiful police dog, finn, and he was a bit of a social media sensation because he protect that his police officer and got stabbed, and his injuries were almost fatal. he is ok, but the fact is, still, even though they are pushing for this thing called finn's law, an attack on him is treated as committal damage, the same as smashing a window, because he is seen as property. and in a nation of animal lovers this seems ridiculous. so he is pc is pushing —— his pc is pushing harder and harder to try and change that. the guy who did this attack, four months he got for attacking the dog, he did get a separate sentence for attacking a police officer. in the law needs to change to keep up with the way a modern policing works, and dogs are increasingly used in modern policing because they can go places where police officers cannot. and we are a nation of animal lovers, a story like this pulls everyone's heartstrings, and surely a nation like this would want proper sentencing. and what you get out of these stories as well is the relationship between the handler and the dog as well, and they always become part of the story. the story is incredible, because david was saying he just saw red when he saw his dog was being attacked, and the dog would not give up, he was desperate to attacking zone at all cost. it is a beautiful —— desperate to protect his own at all costs. it isa to protect his own at all costs. it is a beautiful relationship. we are here on the bbc news channel until 9:00am this morning, and coming up in the next hour: find out why sinkholes are appearing at one of israel's biggest tourist attractions, the dead sea. we will meet the patient taking part in a pioneering new treatment for brain tumours, where a virus is injected directly his bloodstream. as the world of darts says goodbye to walk—on girls, we will ask if it is a practice that other sports should scrap, too. there has been a lot of discussion of that in formula one as well, and lots of sports where women have been employed to highlight the trophies and the glamour of it all. and when you see pictures like that, it seems like something that belongs to another era. well, we say that, at one speaker we will talk to made the point that women have a choice to be involved in these things. it is all very controversial, but we will talk about it anyway. all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and ben thompson. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop in west london. another 28—year—old man was arrested on friday night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a car mounted the pavement in hayes. the three victims have been named locally as josh kennedy, harry rice, and george wilkinson. paris remains on high alert, with the river seine expected to rise to six metres above its normal level today. it follows some of france's heaviest rain for a century. sections of the louvre museum have closed, some properties have flooded, and tourist boats are no longer operating. a close friend and political ally of president trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the republican party, after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him. steve wynn, a billionaire casino owner, was chosen by mr trump to be finance chairman of the republican national committee. he's alleged to have subjected dozens of women to unwanted sexual advances. mr wynn has described the claims, published by the wall streetjournal, as ,, meanwhile, donald trump has said he's not aware of any invitation to attend prince harry and meghan markle's wedding. in an itv interview, the us president said the pair looked "like a lovely couple", but when asked if had received an invite he replied "not that i know of." ms markle has previously called mr trump "divisive" and a "misogynist. " russian police have reportedly raided the office of the main opposition leader. they forced their way into alexei navalny‘s office. he has called for nationwide protests today against the election in march which he claims will be rigged. 16 and 17—year—olds in wales are to be given the right to vote in local elections, under plans published by the welsh government. if approved, wales would follow scotland, where the voting age has already been lowered for national and local elections. the labour party has called for the idea to be extended to the whole of the uk, but the westminster government says it has "no plans" to do so. good morning. the sport. tennis. roger federer. you will not hear a bad word about him, unless it is his opponent. even then. he has 179 million from his career. just incredible. in just under an hour's time, roger federer will face marin cilic in melbourne at the australian open. federer is looking to secure a sixth australian and 20th grand slam title, while cilic, is bidding to win his second major title and become the first croatian to win the australian open. we're nowjoined by former british number one, john lloyd. cut to the chase, redactions. let me see. “— cut to the chase, redactions. let me see. —— predictions. i have to go with federer. i was looking at his old stuff from his 20s. i think he is even better now. he is a freak of nature, in the nicest way. how do you play and move like this at that age? 36! you do not expect to see someone to this well at that age! not at all. it's one of the topics of conversation these days. people say, well, what about him? i said five years ago he would struggle with grand slams. ever since i made that stupid remarks, he has got three. he could be the george foreman of tennis. he could go past 40! we have a golden era of tennis. when is he not the favourite? the players just below nadals and federers and murrays, thiems, them, raonic, they have not made thejump we thought they would do already. they have a long way to go with their careers, but theyjust cannot compete with the big two. so, these two players can continue, as far as ican two players can continue, as far as i can see. what does it take out a few? we see them at every tournament. but there is so much else involved. —— of you. all the travel takes its toll physically and mentally. definitely, but someone like federer, he has managed his career so well, he only plays certain events, he has a training area in dubai, he knows how much tennis he needs to keep in shape and still be exciting. he has got it com pletely still be exciting. he has got it completely correct. rafa has had more injuries, but roger federer never gets injured! it is the graceful way he plays. his body seems amazing. he could keep on going. what about caroline wozniacki yesterday? she has worked for years to get that title. you just have to think one of these poor women will be so devastated. they worked so hard, and in the end, wozniacki held her nerve. i am so pleased for her. six years ago i thought she would never get one. in an era when players attack the ball, she was just passing, but she improved, attacked more. and now she is number one in the world. a first—time grand slam. watch out serena williams. thank you. it's the fifth and final one—day international between england and australia in perth, with england having already won the series. australia put england into bat. there were a lot of decent starts for england's batsman but australia picked up regular wickets. joe root was the only man to pass 50, eventually getting out for 62. and without him they didn't last much longer, bowled out for 259. australia are just beginning their run chase. there were 12 fa cup fourth round ties yesterday and a couple of upsets too and plenty of debate about the new video assistant referee. teams from leagues one and two continue to punch above their weight — with the biggest result of the day coming courtesy of wigan athletic who knocked out west ham. notts county and newport earned replays against premier league opposition, with the welsh side coming so close to knocking out spurs altogether. joe lynskey rounds up the action. it's the competition that throws up the culture clashes. this is newport county's home, a long way from wembley stadium in every sense. but the league two side weren'tjust here for the occasion. commentator: good cross back in and it's in for newport county! padraig amond has scored. huge smiles on all newport faces. a moment for south wales to sing for and for a while this had the makings of a most remarkable upset. but when spurs aren't at their best, one man comes to save them. commentator: kane has a tap-in and spurs are going to dig themselves out of a whole heap of trouble. you can pretty much count on him. county were eight minutes from glory but this is a draw with a decent consolation prize. a replay at spurs' temporary home gives the exiles quite a day out. fan: we're going to wembley! replay at wembley! fair play to my players, they gave everything and i'm sure i'll wake up in the morning being one of the happiest men alive. wigan have been a nuisance for a few top tier sides now. after bournemouth in round three, now they've seen off west ham. a 2—0 win on a day the hammers didn't show up. you couldn't have called us a premier league team today, a lot of young players got a chance but not many impressed me and i was disappointed with the senior players, they didn't help the young players on more as well. an extraordinary evening at anfield saw history made in moving pictures. first var ruled out west brom's goal and then it gave liverpool a penalty, which it missed. it's a new system on trial and still dividing opinion. the penalty was the bad decision, it went on and on and on and it wasn't difficult. it seemed to go upstairs and then they called him to have a look. if you've got someone up there with the evidence, make a decision. either stick with the referee and tell him he's wrong and let's crack on. i'm glad they got the decision is right but it needs tweaking. but it barely took the shine off a brilliant night for the baggies, a 3—2 win would have made him proud. they take pride in their history too at notts county but present glory could come in a replay against swansea. jon stead's equaliser has the magpies in the hat but the lowest—ranked team definitely through are coventry city. the league two side found their way past mk dons. this is the competition where emotions can spill over, and understandably so with a wembley outing so close. the semifinals now are just two rounds away. joe lynskey, bbc news. in the scottish premiership, celtic moved 14 points clear at the top after beating hibs1—0. aberdeen climbed above rangers, who play later today. the dons beat kilmarnock 3—1 with two goals from scott mckenna and another from niall mcginn who ran around three—quarters the length of the pitch to score aberdeen's third. elsewhere, wins for pa rtick and dundee rory mcilroy lies in second place going into today's final round of the dubai desert classic. the northern irishman shot four birdies and an eagle to finish his third round one behind leader li how—tang of china who's 20 under. mcilroy tees off at 8.45. the doing brilliantly. —— he is doing brilliantly. to the rest, get back in, and have added. the way they bounce back. andy murray with a hip operation. yet to bounce back, but he will. he will. it's the big question that's been dominating the internet this week, exactly how many legs does reese witherspoon have? digital photo trickery is now so widespread that we only really notice when it goes wrong. as it did for vanity fair earlier this week. this is the cover of the magazine's annual hollywood special, shot by the celebrity photographer annie leibovitz. it features 13 stars, including reese witherspoon, who appears to have a third leg! this wasn't the only error picked out by eagle—eyed social media users though. take this photo of reese and oprah winfrey sharing a joke with tom hanks, and then count how many hands oprah has! vanity fair have since tweeted that witherspoon's leg is simply an optical illusion caused by the lining of her dress. but it did admit that oprah's third hand was a genuine photoshop mistake. we're joined now by professional photographer, emma phillipson. good morning. in mourning. when you saw that, incredible. it is a bit of cringe. how did that get past? please explain it. what happens in this process that means this could have occurred? you have 13 celebrities. all of them want to ok that photo, look the best they can. that's not one shot, it is what we call a composite. all of them took their best shot and it is composited together. they were all in the same room at the same time, but then all of them are put together. it is not one photograph. it is many put together. they will all want to look their best in the image. this must have gone through many people. the third leg issue is an issue. i keep looking at it... it does look like it, but it could also be lighting. but i will be honest, the third hand... it is a big mistake. it's a cringe. why would you even have the third hand? would they say it looks better to have a hand around, rather than leaning on her. they both have a big smile. reese witherspoon looks better in one photo, but oprah looks better in one photo, but oprah looks better in one photo, but oprah looks better in another. it could have been a nearly perfect picture, but a second apart. it is well-known everything is touched up. second apart. it is well-known everything is touched upm second apart. it is well-known everything is touched up. it is everywhere. you have snapchat as well now. instagram. applications for people to retouch themselves. it is commonplace. it is not new. painters used to do it for royalty, "make me thinner." you would all see use shade and light in old film. do you know of any celebrity who has their photo taken and says you know what? that is fine. not personally but i know there are people who look fantastic. what i think everyone wa nts to fantastic. what i think everyone wants to look their best. for me, i will always suggest that blemish is not a permanent feature, let's take that out, but that beauty spot is a pa rt that out, but that beauty spot is a part of view. the same with tired circles, if you have attired date you will want to take those out, but everything else, leave them in and be yourself —— a tired day. everything else, leave them in and be yourself -- a tired day. and if you are watching today, tell us if you are watching today, tell us if you are watching today, tell us if you are one of the people who put filters on your photos. you? yes. i don't! stop looking at you like that. well, i think you are lovely without the filters. i am very lucky to sit next to you. i thinkjust enjoy that. he doesn't believe me. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: police are looking for a man who is thought to have fled the scene of a crash that killed three teenage boys in london. residents in paris are on high alert, as the swollen river seine is expected to rise to six metres higher than usual. here is susan with a look at this morning's weather. this is a woman who needs absolutely no filters, but had the weather does. i tell you what, no filters, but had the weather does. itell you what, i don't no filters, but had the weather does. i tell you what, i don't take any pictures of myself but i will show you a picture of something you might not see much of today, a glimmer of brightness in east sussex. the sky cleared overnight to the east of the uk, and we are still just getting a little bit of sunshine at the moment. enjoy that year, there is a lot of marl they are piling across the british isles for today, and that will make things feel pretty pleasant when we're and about. it is all getting pulled in from the atlantic, picking up lots of moisture on its way to us and that has manifested itself in the form of cloud. so for the majority of the day for the majority of us, those skies will be pretty grey. to the north, across scotland we will have fairly persistent rain. the rain in northern ireland should clear away north in the next few hours. drizzly rain across the hills of northern england, wales and the south—west. hopefully that will ease up south—west. hopefully that will ease upa south—west. hopefully that will ease up a little come this afternoon. we may see some brightness but this weather front for scotland not going anywhere in a hurry. the far north of scotla nd anywhere in a hurry. the far north of scotland seeing slightly clearer skies, a few spots of sunshine around the moray firth but some showers. further south, around the moray firth but some showers. furthersouth, mild with temperatures in double figures, wet for central and southern scotland. heading into england and wales, it is windy everywhere but quite gusty winds. hopefully that will stir the cloud up a little bit and maybe it will break in one or two back places. if you get little of sunshine, it could get up to 15 degrees. on the tonight, our weather front in the north finally starts to move. cold air to the south and milder conditions. gusty conditions as that front pushes into northern ireland in northern england. the chilly start tomorrow in scotland with patchy frost and that cold air will follow the weather front south on monday. that will bring in brighter conditions, especially for northern ireland in northern england, once we finally see this front diving in the southern counties of england. for scotland, quite a windy day and that wind will carry on some showers. northern ireland largely dry, northern england in for a pleasant afternoon once the cloud should the way south. it will take a bit longer towards the end of the afternoon, for some brightness into wales and southern counties. still very mild, 11 or 12 degrees. the chilly feel further north with highs of six to eight but at least you get the sunshine to compensate. at least we do. thank you. now on breakfast, it is time for the travel show. this week, joanne whalley finds out why sinkholes are appearing at one of israel's biggest tourist attractions, the dead sea. this week on the show: the sinkholes left behind by the shrinking dead sea. it is devastation, but it is also quite beautiful, isn't it? this week, we're in the resort of ein gedi in israel, on the banks of the dead sea. this vast, salty lake is one of the region's top tourist attractions, but it's one that's slowly disappearing, leaving behind a scarred landscape, which we send jo whalley to explore. this is the lowest point on earth, and people come here from all over the world to experience the surreal sensation of floating about in the hyper salty waters. but, in recent years, the dead sea has been shrinking back — at a rate of more than a metre a year. the phenomenon is being caused by a sharp decrease in the amount of waterflowing into it, as the countries along the river jordan, the dead sea's main source, harness the water's flow for industry and farming. 30 years ago, the dead sea came all the way up here, right up to these beach umbrellas. but now, the sea has receded so much that tourists need to be passed by tractor to the water's edge. it's a distance more than a mile. the tractor rides might be a fun novelty for tourists, but they're expensive to run. and the shrinking sea has caused an even bigger problem: as the waters recede, huge underground salt deposits are left behind, and when the salt dissolves, the ground above it can collapse without warning, causing sinkholes. yariv has seen the impact first hand. this is the main road, and the main beach, and the main touristic place that used to be... i can see how the roads just all given away. yeah, yeah. everything just collapsing, everything just falling apart. yeah. two years ago, this road, which was one of the country's major highways, was closed and rerouted, after the surface started to sink. it's now an enormous hole. it's crazy, it looks like an earthquake. it is. yeah, unfortunately, it is. yeah, that's uh... basically, that's what's going on. the ground is just falling apart. and it's all fractured, all the way down there. and it's still active. everything's collapsed into that hole. yeah. and this is one of the — and this is part — relatively small. well not so — let's say not so big. that's a small one? not so big, yeah. hah! it's not a big one, yeah. how many sinkholes are there now? around... more than 6000, 6500, let's say, around 6500. when did the first hole happen? the beginning of it was the late ‘80s. it was a phenomenon — a nice one, interesting — very interesting phenomenon. but it escalated very much and very fast. and, once you bring people next to it, people who live, people who work here, and touristic places, then you have to just leave the place, and then you get the biggest damage that you can get. this tourist resort used to be one of the dead sea's few public beaches. two years ago, it had to be evacuated when the ground became too unstable. wow. the whole building had to be abandoned. yeah. yeah, in a short — very short notice, we had to just take everything, pack our bags, stuff, equipment, and just leave. it looks like a war, so... there is a plan to reverse the fortunes of the dead sea by pumping water into it from the red sea, over 100 miles away, but that could take many years, and no—one knows for sure if it will work. in the meantime, the people here are determined to rebuild, using satellite mapping to assess where new holes might open up. actually, what you see there, like a big lagoon, is a chain of sinkholes. eli raz helped develop the satellite system. he's been studying the sinkholes for the past 17 years. so is it safe to explore this area? it is quite safe to somebody who knows where to go, somebody who knows the nature of the sinkholes. for somebody who doesn't know nothing at all, it could be dangerous. eli has started taking groups out to safely view the sinkholes. he wants something positive to come out of the problem. first of all, for the awareness of people to the dead sea crisis, but also, on the other hand, to give explanations. people are willing to know what's happening. and then we have also the other side of the problem. people are amazed by the scenery. it is beautiful. and that's why it's very important to let the people an access the sea — a safe one. nowadays there is no safe access. and i think that we are losing something. the idea is for people to be able to see the geological wonders that have appeared as the dead sea has receded. i just want to show you my diamonds. oh, wow. oh, my gosh. they are actually crystals, idiomorphic crystals of salt. can i keep this? yes, of course. this is, you know, a gift from... thank you very much. a giftfrom... a gift from the dead sea! that's incredible. and it isn'tjust salt diamonds that are formed along the shore. and here is the purest... oh, wow. they form just when there is a slope. and the waves roll them up and down. so diamonds and pearls. diamonds and pearls, yes. you're spoiling me. it is amazing to be able to grab handfuls of these pearls. they're so beautiful. and is there a hole near here, a sinkhole? yes, there are sinkholes, of course, all along the coastal plain. and can we go and look at one? yes. let's go, then. 0h! is that it? all of that? yeah. this is one of the biggest sinkholes, yeah. it is absolutely enormous. this is about 40 metres, 50 metres in diameter. wow! it's filled with water, as well. this is the groundwater. iam a bit scared, here, eli. being sensitive. not exactly sweet water, but with the ability to dissolve salt. yeah. it's like a lagoon, isn't it? it's like a lagoon. it's such a lot to take in, because it's just devastation, but it's also quite beautiful, isn't it? always it's better to look at the bright side of the problem, yes. it's the eerie beauty of this place that is hoped can be used to attract more tourists to the area, and repair some of the economic damage that has been caused by the sinkholes. if you're planning a trip to the dead sea, you don't have to worry about a sinkhole opening up under the beach. the affected areas are clearly signposted, and should not be entered without guidance from an expert. that's all for now. join us next time, when... rajan is at the sports festival in abu dhabi, trying to get to the top of one of the world's highest sand hills, the moreeb dune, which means "terrifying mountain". wow! that was fantastic! you know what? i've been looking at one of the world's highest and steepest sand dunes for a while now. i really want to reach the top! luckily, i've got myself a lift. woah! whoo! in the meantime, make sure you to join our adventures on the road by following us on social media. from myself, and the travel team here in mexico, it's adios. hello, this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and ben thompson. police hunt a man thought to have fled the scene of a horrific crash in west london that killed three teenage boys. the victims have been named locally as josh kennedy, harry rice and george wilkinson. a 28—year—old man has been arrested. good morning. it's sunday the 28th of january. also ahead... good morning. it's sunday the 28th ofjanuary. also ahead... the us president says he is not aware of an invite to the royal wedding, but says that it harry and meghan markle look like a lovely couple. paris is on flood alert as water levels continue to rise along the river sand. 16 and 17—year—olds in wales could get the right to vote in local elections as part of new plans to keep them interested in politics.

the river seine. 16 and 17 year olds in wales could get the right to vote in local elections as part of new plans to keep them interested in politics. good morning. and in sport, england have work to do if they're to end their one—day series with another win over australia. joe root is the only man to pass 50 as they are bowled out for 259. for me personally, the culture that i grew up in, it's a dream release, a dream come true. the artwork by banksy that's appeared on a bridge in hull, and why one councillor thinks it should be cleaned up. and susan has the weather. a lot of cloud. fingers crossed for some breaks. a mild day. more in 15 minutes. good morning. first, our main story. police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop in west london. a 28—year—old man was arrested on friday night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a car mounted the pavement in hayes. the three victims have been named locally as josh kennedy, harry rice and george wilkinson. jon donnison reports. three teenage friends on their way to a friday night party. their lives cut short. they've been named locally asjosh kennedy, george wilkinson and harry rice. he'd been a promising footballer with farnborough fc. "our thoughts are with harry's family and friends at this sad time," the club posted on social media. yesterday at the scene of the crash the community gathered to pay their respects and offer an impromptu tribute. they were killed when they were hit by this black audi as it reared up onto the pavement at speed. a 28—year—old man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving. police are looking for a second man they believe was in the car who fled the scene. they're appealing for witnesses. there was a bus driver in front of us and he came over and said, "oh, yes, there's someone dead in the road, and at that point i relayed that to 999 and within five minutes an ambulance arrived. but officers say all three boys died at the scene. they‘ re appealing for anyone with any information to come forward. jon donnison, bbc news. we can speak to him now at the scene. a tragic story. what more do we know? you can see behind me a huge amount of floral tributes left yesterday for the three boys who died as they went to a party on friday night at the local football club. what we are hearing from police now is they are now looking for a second man who they believe was a passenger in the car. they believe they fled the scene. the police say there may have been more than two people in the audi car, but they are not sure at the moment. they are definitely looking for a second man. a 28—year—old man has been arrested for suspicion of dangerous driving. we understand members of the public apprehended that men before police arrived. —— man. just up the road there is a petrol station. we understand some witnesses have said some of the young boys' friends got into some kind of altercation, a fight, with the person who the police have arrested, and it was only after that that that man was apprehended. police are calling for anyone who may have witnessed the crash to come forward. thank you very much. jon donnison. paris remains on high alert, with water levels continuing to rise along the river seine. the country has seen some of the heaviest rain for a century, and the river is expected to rise six metres higher than normal. luxmy gopal reports. the swollen seine, still rising. more than four metres above its usual level, it's expected to peak at six metres by the end of the weekend. on the outskirts of paris, some residents have had to resort to travelling by boat through waterlogged streets. while in the city centre, the tourist boats are no longer operating, with only emergency services allowed along the seine. the past month has been the third—wettest here since records began in 1900. the impact of recent heavy rains is visible in the water levels lapping this statue of a crimean war soldier, known as the zouave, paris's traditional way of measuring the height of the river. the french authorities have been on high alert, and at a flood crisis meeting, the mayor of paris tried to reassure residents, saying the current situation isn't as bad as that of 18 months ago. translation: the flood is less significant, in terms of the volume of rising water, compared to that ofjune 2016, even if it remains substantial, because currently we are at 5.7 metres, and we should peak between 5.8 and six metres maximum. the flooding has already left hundreds of people without electricity, and evacuated from their homes. forecasters predict drier weather for the week ahead, but with much of the ground in northern france waterlogged, the return to normal will be a slow process. luxmy gopal, bbc news. a close friend and political ally of president trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the republican party after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him. steve wynn, a billionaire casino owner, was chosen by mr trump to be finance chairman of the republican national committee. he's alleged to have subjected dozens of women to unwanted sexual advances. mr wynn has described the claims published by the wall streetjournal as preposterous. meanwhile, donald trump has said he's not aware of any invitation to attend prince harry and meghan markle's wedding. in an itv interview, the us president said the pair looked "like a lovely couple," but when asked if had received an invite he replied "not that i know of." ms markle has previously called mr trump "divisive" and a "misogynist. " 16 and 17 year—olds in wales are to be given the right to vote in local elections, under plans published by the welsh government. if approved, wales would follow scotland, where the voting age has already been lowered for national and local elections. the labour party has called for the idea to be extended to the whole of the uk. the westminster government says it has no plans to do so. gavin thomas reports. after yea rs of struggle and campaigns by the suffrage movement, 1918 was the year in which the representation of the people act was passed in parliament. for the first time, voting was expanded to all men aged over 21 and to some women aged over 30. now, 100 years, on in wales the labour devolved government is planning to cut the voting age in local elections to 16. it follows the example of scotland, where a similar change came into force in 2016. there it also applies to national elections. the local government minister in cardiff bay says the time is right. i think everyone who pays taxes should be able to vote, and that means people who are 17 and people who are 16 as well, so i would like to see us moving the franchise to be able to allow younger people to take part in the democratic process. the minister says he wants voting to become more attractive and welcoming and he's spoken of his concern that younger people are becoming disengaged from politics. i think it would be a good thing for us to be able to vote because we would be voting for our future, but at the same time i don't think we get educated enough about politics. i think we are educated enough and 16—year—olds because we use our social media, we see the parties... the advertisements they put out there. the welsh government will formally announce the proposals on tuesday. gavin thomas, bbc news. we asked the uk government for a response and a spokesperson told us, "the age of 18, not 16, is widely recognised as the age at which one becomes an adult. the government has no plans to lower the voting age." the former northern ireland secretary and prominent leave campaigner theresa villiers has said she fears the uk is heading towards a dilution of brexit. writing in the sunday telegraph, she says there's a real danger the uk will sign up to deal which would keep us in the eu in all but name. a downing street spokesperson said the government is committed to delivering brexit and a deep and special future partnership with the eu. parking companies which use unfair practices are to be banned from accessing motorists' details and issuing fines. the government has confirmed it's to introduce legislation to try to improve standards among parking firms in england. ministers say they want to put an end to inconsistent rules, poor signage, intimidating letters and a confusing appeals process. a mural believed to be by the artist banksy should be removed from a disused hull bridge, a local councillor has claimed. images of the artwork were shared on banksy‘s official social media page on friday, appearing to confirm that it is, in fact, his own work. conservative councillorjohn abbott said it did not compare with real art in the city gallery. however, many of the local residents who gathered to see the mural disagreed. for me personally the culture that i grew up in, it's a dream really, a dream come true. it's really good. fantastic. i also like the way that the writing in it is like writing on a chalkboard or in a school when you look back on things. like the shoes, i think they've got a nice pair of shoes on. you got to have a nice pair of shoes on, don't you, rosie? did you see the little one in the background getting her picture taken? they put up something to protect it. people have stolen bits of plaster. they've been some of the most powerful images of the week. 156 women standing up one by one in a michigan courtroom, sharing their stories of abuse. they were speaking at the sentencing of larry nassar, a former us gymnastics doctor who's been jailed for 175 years for sexually abusing young athletes. the judge in the case said she wanted to give every woman affected the chance to speak out. let's hear some of what they had to say. i will always love gymnastics, but i will never be able to look at the sport the same because of you. and asi sport the same because of you. and as i looked to the future, i plan to pursue a career in criminaljustice. iam hoping pursue a career in criminaljustice. i am hoping that by working to put monsters like uae i might be able to stop the nightmares and start healing. -- you away. it is a court full of women with deep wounds. women are banding together to fight for themselves because no one else would do it. they will carry scars that will never fully heal. you have made the choice to play the guilt and shame on them. he molested me at the 2012 london olympic games. your time is up, abusers. the survivors are here, standing tall, and we are not going anywhere. your decision to assault was precise, calculated, many pillars of, devious, despicable. —— manipulative. many pillars of, devious, despicable. —— manipulativelj many pillars of, devious, despicable. -- manipulative. iwould not send my dogs to you, sir. you do not send my dogs to you, sir. you do not deserve to walk outside a prison ever again. lydia ward is a survivor of sexual abuse, who is a trustee of the charity, safeline. good morning. good morning. i don't know if you could hear all of that, but we have seen a lot in the media in the last week. what is your reaction? i think the sentencing is hugely appropriate. i think it is a massive step forward. the way it has been conducted seems to be revolutionary in some ways, the fact that all of these people were able to give a statement, saying how they feel. it is different to what i have certainly heard of before. i think there is just a certainly heard of before. i think there isjust a huge change in how people are feeling about talking about sexual abuse now, the fact that it about sexual abuse now, the fact thatitis about sexual abuse now, the fact that it is not such a taboo, it is not awkward, how do we deal with it let's not bother. and perhaps making it clear to other survivors of sexual abuse they can speak up about this. your experience, tell us about that, reading about that, it should not be a secret, private, good why talk to. hopefully this helps that. —— who do i talk to? we have to call these people survivors. they are not victims. this is about moving forward and reclaiming the power taken from you when you are abused. what happened to you? taken from you when you are abused. what happened to you ?|j taken from you when you are abused. what happened to you? i was initially first abused by a close family friend, someone my parents com pletely family friend, someone my parents completely trusted and never expected to be like this, as is the case. i am from a very nice background. it is that kind of situation. i was left with someone sporadically to be looked after by. that person sexually abused me between the ages of three and seven. i dealt with it by telling them i did not want to be left with them. i was questioned. ididn't i didn't say anything. at that age you know something is not right you are told it is a secret, we are a lwa ys are told it is a secret, we are always told that you should never share a secret, and again it gets back to language. nowadays i always talk about happy surprises. you can have a happy surprise, surprise means it has an end date and when that person finds out they will be happy about it, but you don't have secrets. and that is a really important thing. and again, for me, i was abused again by different person, and again, another trusted family friend, at the age of i think it was about 12 or 13. it probably sounds a bit strange that i am vague on it, but your brain keeps these things from you. i was 16 when i first started having flashbacks and suddenly went, like, goodness me, did that really happen? and then i went through a huge process of trying to come to terms with it, and trying to come to terms with it, and trying to come to terms with it, and trying to push it back away. and do i ever say anything? i was 30 when i first told my parents, and they were the last people i ever wanted to have to tell, because you don't want to have to explain to them that this happened under their watch, as it were, because you don't want them to feel blame or guilt. my parents were devastated when they found out. and iam one devastated when they found out. and i am one of the lucky ones, not eve ryo ne i am one of the lucky ones, not everyone has that experience. you talk a lot about surviving being about power and control, and getting to the point when you can confront what has happened to you but you ta ke what has happened to you but you take back that control. what was it for you that got you to that position, where you said i can deal with this? i was very fortunate that i found with this? i was very fortunate that ifound a with this? i was very fortunate that i found a charity called safe with this? i was very fortunate that ifound a charity called safe line, and they specialise in helping survivors of sexual abuse. and it really got to the point when i was like, i really need to get into the detail of this, and that is what that charity enabled me to do. detail of this, and that is what that charity enabled me to dom this case, how important is it that survivors waive their rights of anonymity? i think it is tremendous when people feel able to do that. i don't think there should be pressure on other survivors to have to do it, but the more of us that feel we have the support network around us to be able to do it, the more we can close the to—do lists. if people feel able to, it is a tremendous thing to do. you so much. —— thank you so much. here is susan with a look at this morning's weather. already outside already outside temperatures already outside temperatures around already outside temperatures around ten or 11 degrees across the majority of the british isles. mild air pushing across us today, and obviously it has a long way to travel across that water. it has picked up 20 of moisture and that has manifested itself in the form of cloud. so it will feel pretty springlike if you are heading out today but it will look pretty grey and gloomy for many of us. there could be a little bit of early brightness across the far east of england. it has been a bit clearer here overnight in the wind will be a bit gusty, so that might help to turn the cloud over in some areas, break it up a bit and let the sun through. then temperatures really will shoot up. stuck with the cloud today will be central and southern scotland. here, the dividing line between the very mild air of the north neighbourhood northern british isles and the colder air effect in the far north of scotland. northern ireland should become somewhat dry through the afternoon. some drizzly rain across the hills the northern pa rt rain across the hills the northern part of wales in the south—west, but to the east of the wash mountains, if the sun comes out we could see highs up to 15 celsius. so it is a mild story this evening, but then we will move back to our weather front in the north starting to sink its way south overnight. mild air to the south with the colder air to the north, and that will be a change from monday. monday morning starts quite chilly across scotland, with patchy frost, rain first thing across northern england and northern ireland. through the day on monday, the colder air along with a weather front will target is where further south across the british isles. so tomorrow will be a change in terms of the wave is feel, and for some, ona of the wave is feel, and for some, on a positive note, the way things look. once the weather front sinks further south we will bring in cooler but brighter conditions. sunshine tomorrow for northern ireland, and improving story in the afternoon for northern england as well. sunshine and showers for scotland. further south it could ta ke scotland. further south it could take into the afternoon to see brightness in england and wales, southernmost counties with thicker cloud and more rain. still double figures here, but those clear skies become quite widespread overnight into tuesday. so we could have a frost first thing on tuesday after this really mild start today. some quite big contrast in a short space of time. decent sunshine first thing on tuesday, more cloud as the day pans out and began the threat of the more persistent rain for the far north—west of scotland. more persistent rain for the far north-west of scotland. thank you very much. the secrets of tv, some things should be kept a secret! we will carry on stapling. the andrew marr programme is on bbc one this morning at 9:00am. andrew, what have you got coming up? well, my main interview today is labour leaderjeremy corbyn, looking forward to that very much. i am also talking to david liddington, who is in effect theresa may's number two. and talking through gritted teeth, i will be talking to piers morgan, who got the great donald trump interview. so theresa may, piers morgan, david liddington, all on after nine a.m.. thank you very much. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. time now for a look at the newspapers. tv critic emma bullimore is here to tell us what has caught her eye. we saw andrew saying he will be talking to piers morgan. piers morgan has interviewed donald trump in davos as part of the world economic forum, and this interview is airing tonight on itv, and has been picked up by a lot of the press. whatever your feelings about piers morgan and donald trump is likely to be the most watched tv event of the year so far, you will not be able to stay away. he is covering all sorts of different topics. harry and meghan's wedding, he hasn't been invited, and he says he hasn't been invited, and he says he doesn't want to be drawn into that. he is happy to be drawn into other things. he says on brexit theresa may should have been tougher, he doesn't say how, but thatis tougher, he doesn't say how, but that is what he says, and piers is delighted with himself, obviously. did they actually touch on the real issues? there has been so much criticism of his presidency, one—year—old, do they get down to the nitty—gritty of its? one—year—old, do they get down to the nitty-gritty of its? all the stuff that is in the press is about the fact he tweets in bed, the wedding, obviously, his views on elephant hunting and imports, that sort of thing. but there is not that much about the wall and it is difficult to tell. when you are granted an interview with someone, there are often terms which are laid out which no one sees about what you are allowed to talk about and are not, and it remains to be seen how much we will get into that stuff. they have gone for headline grabbing stuff at the moment at i hope there isa stuff at the moment at i hope there is a bit more substance to it. one of the big television events of the year. we have been talking about survivors in this rape case and sexual abuse case in the united states, and it has shone a light again on women standing up in refusing to be cowed by abuse or misogyny. and you have picked up this story, the white rose protest at the grammys. so obviously they have had the golden globes, and actresses wore black on the red carpet. it was a nice protest, but sometimes it feels like women are being subdued by wearing black, by admitting themselves. so for the grammys they are going for something different. roses being beautiful a nyway different. roses being beautiful anyway but white being a suffragette colour, and for the grammys they we re colour, and for the grammys they were never going to wear black dresses. this has caused a problem because florists were not expecting this demand for white roses and they are scrambling to try and get them. but it is great they are coming out in solidarity for this. it will be one of the few music events where ed sheeran will not sweep the board, he has not been nominated in the major categories. let's talk about a clinic to help people with what they call an online addiction, actually an addiction to pills being bought online, so people who are self—medicating. online, so people who are self-medicating. yes, so before this might have involved standing on a street corner and lots of people being too scared to do this. now on the internets, people are ordering these pills online in masses, so much so that a new clinic has been openedin much so that a new clinic has been opened in london, it is free on the nhs, and it sells things like xanax, the antianxiety drug being used medically and recreationally as well, and it is a huge ticking time bomb, so it is good they are doing something about it now. you have picked up a story, finally, from the mail on sunday. this is something that we hear so often about, that animals used in the police force, in the military as well, and often front—line victims have been attacked as well. well, this is a beautiful police dog, finn, and he was a bit of a social media sensation because he protect that his police officer and got stabbed, and his injuries were almost fatal. he is ok, but the fact is, still, even though they are pushing for this thing called finn's law, an attack on him is treated as committal damage, the same as smashing a window, because he is seen as property. and in a nation of animal lovers this seems ridiculous. so he is pc is pushing —— his pc is pushing harder and harder to try and change that. the guy who did this attack, four months he got for attacking the dog, he did get a separate sentence for attacking a police officer. in the law needs to change to keep up with the way a modern policing works, and dogs are increasingly used in modern policing because they can go places where police officers cannot. and we are a nation of animal lovers, a story like this pulls everyone's heartstrings, and surely a nation like this would want proper sentencing. and what you get out of these stories as well is the relationship between the handler and the dog as well, and they always become part of the story. the story is incredible, because david was saying he just saw red when he saw his dog was being attacked, and the dog would not give up, he was desperate to attacking zone at all cost. it is a beautiful —— desperate to protect his own at all costs. it isa to protect his own at all costs. it is a beautiful relationship. we are here on the bbc news channel until 9:00am this morning, and coming up in the next hour: find out why sinkholes are appearing at one of israel's biggest tourist attractions, the dead sea. we will meet the patient taking part in a pioneering new treatment for brain tumours, where a virus is injected directly his bloodstream. as the world of darts says goodbye to walk—on girls, we will ask if it is a practice that other sports should scrap, too. there has been a lot of discussion of that in formula one as well, and lots of sports where women have been employed to highlight the trophies and the glamour of it all. and when you see pictures like that, it seems like something that belongs to another era. well, we say that, at one speaker we will talk to made the point that women have a choice to be involved in these things. it is all very controversial, but we will talk about it anyway. all that to come on the bbc news channel. but this is where we say goodbye to viewers on bbc one. bye for now. hello. this is breakfast, with naga munchetty and ben thompson. good morning. here's a summary of today's main stories from bbc news. police are hunting for a man who is believed to have fled the scene after a crash that killed three teenage boys at a bus stop in west london. another 28—year—old man was arrested on friday night on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving after a car mounted the pavement in hayes. the three victims have been named locally as josh kennedy, harry rice, and george wilkinson. paris remains on high alert, with the river seine expected to rise to six metres above its normal level today. it follows some of france's heaviest rain for a century. sections of the louvre museum have closed, some properties have flooded, and tourist boats are no longer operating. a close friend and political ally of president trump has resigned as head of fundraising for the republican party, after accusations that he sexually harassed women who worked for him. steve wynn, a billionaire casino owner, was chosen by mr trump to be finance chairman of the republican national committee. he's alleged to have subjected dozens of women to unwanted sexual advances. mr wynn has described the claims, published by the wall streetjournal, as ,, meanwhile, donald trump has said he's not aware of any invitation to attend prince harry and meghan markle's wedding. in an itv interview, the us president said the pair looked "like a lovely couple", but when asked if had received an invite he replied "not that i know of." ms markle has previously called mr trump "divisive" and a "misogynist. " russian police have reportedly raided the office of the main opposition leader. they forced their way into alexei navalny‘s office. he has called for nationwide protests today against the election in march which he claims will be rigged. 16 and 17—year—olds in wales are to be given the right to vote in local elections, under plans published by the welsh government. if approved, wales would follow scotland, where the voting age has already been lowered for national and local elections. the labour party has called for the idea to be extended to the whole of the uk, but the westminster government says it has "no plans" to do so. good morning. the sport. tennis. roger federer. you will not hear a bad word about him, unless it is his opponent. even then. he has 179 million from his career. just incredible. in just under an hour's time, roger federer will face marin cilic in melbourne at the australian open. federer is looking to secure a sixth australian and 20th grand slam title, while cilic, is bidding to win his second major title and become the first croatian to win the australian open. we're nowjoined by former british number one, john lloyd. cut to the chase, redactions. let me see. “— cut to the chase, redactions. let me see. —— predictions. i have to go with federer. i was looking at his old stuff from his 20s. i think he is even better now. he is a freak of nature, in the nicest way. how do you play and move like this at that age? 36! you do not expect to see someone to this well at that age! not at all. it's one of the topics of conversation these days. people say, well, what about him? i said five years ago he would struggle with grand slams. ever since i made that stupid remarks, he has got three. he could be the george foreman of tennis. he could go past 40! we have a golden era of tennis. when is he not the favourite? the players just below nadals and federers and murrays, thiems, them, raonic, they have not made thejump we thought they would do already. they have a long way to go with their careers, but theyjust cannot compete with the big two. so, these two players can continue, as far as ican two players can continue, as far as i can see. what does it take out a few? we see them at every tournament. but there is so much else involved. —— of you. all the travel takes its toll physically and mentally. definitely, but someone like federer, he has managed his career so well, he only plays certain events, he has a training area in dubai, he knows how much tennis he needs to keep in shape and still be exciting. he has got it com pletely still be exciting. he has got it completely correct. rafa has had more injuries, but roger federer never gets injured! it is the graceful way he plays. his body seems amazing. he could keep on going. what about caroline wozniacki yesterday? she has worked for years to get that title. you just have to think one of these poor women will be so devastated. they worked so hard, and in the end, wozniacki held her nerve. i am so pleased for her. six years ago i thought she would never get one. in an era when players attack the ball, she was just passing, but she improved, attacked more. and now she is number one in the world. a first—time grand slam. watch out serena williams. thank you. it's the fifth and final one—day international between england and australia in perth, with england having already won the series. australia put england into bat. there were a lot of decent starts for england's batsman but australia picked up regular wickets. joe root was the only man to pass 50, eventually getting out for 62. and without him they didn't last much longer, bowled out for 259. australia are just beginning their run chase. there were 12 fa cup fourth round ties yesterday and a couple of upsets too and plenty of debate about the new video assistant referee. teams from leagues one and two continue to punch above their weight — with the biggest result of the day coming courtesy of wigan athletic who knocked out west ham. notts county and newport earned replays against premier league opposition, with the welsh side coming so close to knocking out spurs altogether. joe lynskey rounds up the action. it's the competition that throws up the culture clashes. this is newport county's home, a long way from wembley stadium in every sense. but the league two side weren'tjust here for the occasion. commentator: good cross back in and it's in for newport county! padraig amond has scored. huge smiles on all newport faces. a moment for south wales to sing for and for a while this had the makings of a most remarkable upset. but when spurs aren't at their best, one man comes to save them. commentator: kane has a tap-in and spurs are going to dig themselves out of a whole heap of trouble. you can pretty much count on him. county were eight minutes from glory but this is a draw with a decent consolation prize. a replay at spurs' temporary home gives the exiles quite a day out. fan: we're going to wembley! replay at wembley! fair play to my players, they gave everything and i'm sure i'll wake up in the morning being one of the happiest men alive. wigan have been a nuisance for a few top tier sides now. after bournemouth in round three, now they've seen off west ham. a 2—0 win on a day the hammers didn't show up. you couldn't have called us a premier league team today, a lot of young players got a chance but not many impressed me and i was disappointed with the senior players, they didn't help the young players on more as well. an extraordinary evening at anfield saw history made in moving pictures. first var ruled out west brom's goal and then it gave liverpool a penalty, which it missed. it's a new system on trial and still dividing opinion. the penalty was the bad decision, it went on and on and on and it wasn't difficult. it seemed to go upstairs and then they called him to have a look. if you've got someone up there with the evidence, make a decision. either stick with the referee and tell him he's wrong and let's crack on. i'm glad they got the decision is right but it needs tweaking. but it barely took the shine off a brilliant night for the baggies, a 3—2 win would have made him proud. they take pride in their history too at notts county but present glory could come in a replay against swansea. jon stead's equaliser has the magpies in the hat but the lowest—ranked team definitely through are coventry city. the league two side found their way past mk dons. this is the competition where emotions can spill over, and understandably so with a wembley outing so close. the semifinals now are just two rounds away. joe lynskey, bbc news. in the scottish premiership, celtic moved 14 points clear at the top after beating hibs1—0. aberdeen climbed above rangers, who play later today. the dons beat kilmarnock 3—1 with two goals from scott mckenna and another from niall mcginn who ran around three—quarters the length of the pitch to score aberdeen's third. elsewhere, wins for pa rtick and dundee rory mcilroy lies in second place going into today's final round of the dubai desert classic. the northern irishman shot four birdies and an eagle to finish his third round one behind leader li how—tang of china who's 20 under. mcilroy tees off at 8.45. the doing brilliantly. —— he is doing brilliantly. to the rest, get back in, and have added. the way they bounce back. andy murray with a hip operation. yet to bounce back, but he will. he will. it's the big question that's been dominating the internet this week, exactly how many legs does reese witherspoon have? digital photo trickery is now so widespread that we only really notice when it goes wrong. as it did for vanity fair earlier this week. this is the cover of the magazine's annual hollywood special, shot by the celebrity photographer annie leibovitz. it features 13 stars, including reese witherspoon, who appears to have a third leg! this wasn't the only error picked out by eagle—eyed social media users though. take this photo of reese and oprah winfrey sharing a joke with tom hanks, and then count how many hands oprah has! vanity fair have since tweeted that witherspoon's leg is simply an optical illusion caused by the lining of her dress. but it did admit that oprah's third hand was a genuine photoshop mistake. we're joined now by professional photographer, emma phillipson. good morning. in mourning. when you saw that, incredible. it is a bit of cringe. how did that get past? please explain it. what happens in this process that means this could have occurred? you have 13 celebrities. all of them want to ok that photo, look the best they can. that's not one shot, it is what we call a composite. all of them took their best shot and it is composited together. they were all in the same room at the same time, but then all of them are put together. it is not one photograph. it is many put together. they will all want to look their best in the image. this must have gone through many people. the third leg issue is an issue. i keep looking at it... it does look like it, but it could also be lighting. but i will be honest, the third hand... it is a big mistake. it's a cringe. why would you even have the third hand? would they say it looks better to have a hand around, rather than leaning on her. they both have a big smile. reese witherspoon looks better in one photo, but oprah looks better in one photo, but oprah looks better in one photo, but oprah looks better in another. it could have been a nearly perfect picture, but a second apart. it is well-known everything is touched up. second apart. it is well-known everything is touched upm second apart. it is well-known everything is touched up. it is everywhere. you have snapchat as well now. instagram. applications for people to retouch themselves. it is commonplace. it is not new. painters used to do it for royalty, "make me thinner." you would all see use shade and light in old film. do you know of any celebrity who has their photo taken and says you know what? that is fine. not personally but i know there are people who look fantastic. what i think everyone wa nts to fantastic. what i think everyone wants to look their best. for me, i will always suggest that blemish is not a permanent feature, let's take that out, but that beauty spot is a pa rt that out, but that beauty spot is a part of view. the same with tired circles, if you have attired date you will want to take those out, but everything else, leave them in and be yourself —— a tired day. everything else, leave them in and be yourself -- a tired day. and if you are watching today, tell us if you are watching today, tell us if you are watching today, tell us if you are one of the people who put filters on your photos. you? yes. i don't! stop looking at you like that. well, i think you are lovely without the filters. i am very lucky to sit next to you. i thinkjust enjoy that. he doesn't believe me. you are watching breakfast from bbc news. the main stories this morning: police are looking for a man who is thought to have fled the scene of a crash that killed three teenage boys in london. residents in paris are on high alert, as the swollen river seine is expected to rise to six metres higher than usual. here is susan with a look at this morning's weather. this is a woman who needs absolutely no filters, but had the weather does. i tell you what, no filters, but had the weather does. itell you what, i don't no filters, but had the weather does. i tell you what, i don't take any pictures of myself but i will show you a picture of something you might not see much of today, a glimmer of brightness in east sussex. the sky cleared overnight to the east of the uk, and we are still just getting a little bit of sunshine at the moment. enjoy that year, there is a lot of marl they are piling across the british isles for today, and that will make things feel pretty pleasant when we're and about. it is all getting pulled in from the atlantic, picking up lots of moisture on its way to us and that has manifested itself in the form of cloud. so for the majority of the day for the majority of us, those skies will be pretty grey. to the north, across scotland we will have fairly persistent rain. the rain in northern ireland should clear away north in the next few hours. drizzly rain across the hills of northern england, wales and the south—west. hopefully that will ease up south—west. hopefully that will ease upa south—west. hopefully that will ease up a little come this afternoon. we may see some brightness but this weather front for scotland not going anywhere in a hurry. the far north of scotla nd anywhere in a hurry. the far north of scotland seeing slightly clearer skies, a few spots of sunshine around the moray firth but some showers. further south, around the moray firth but some showers. furthersouth, mild with temperatures in double figures, wet for central and southern scotland. heading into england and wales, it is windy everywhere but quite gusty winds. hopefully that will stir the cloud up a little bit and maybe it will break in one or two back places. if you get little of sunshine, it could get up to 15 degrees. on the tonight, our weather front in the north finally starts to move. cold air to the south and milder conditions. gusty conditions as that front pushes into northern ireland in northern england. the chilly start tomorrow in scotland with patchy frost and that cold air will follow the weather front south on monday. that will bring in brighter conditions, especially for northern ireland in northern england, once we finally see this front diving in the southern counties of england. for scotland, quite a windy day and that wind will carry on some showers. northern ireland largely dry, northern england in for a pleasant afternoon once the cloud should the way south. it will take a bit longer towards the end of the afternoon, for some brightness into wales and southern counties. still very mild, 11 or 12 degrees. the chilly feel further north with highs of six to eight but at least you get the sunshine to compensate. at least we do. thank you. now on breakfast, it is time for the travel show. this week, joanne whalley finds out why sinkholes are appearing at one of israel's biggest tourist attractions, the dead sea. this week on the show: the sinkholes left behind by the shrinking dead sea. it is devastation, but it is also quite beautiful, isn't it? this week, we're in the resort of ein gedi in israel, on the banks of the dead sea. this vast, salty lake is one of the region's top tourist attractions, but it's one that's slowly disappearing, leaving behind a scarred landscape, which we send jo whalley to explore. this is the lowest point on earth, and people come here from all over the world to experience the surreal sensation of floating about in the hyper salty waters. but, in recent years, the dead sea has been shrinking back — at a rate of more than a metre a year. the phenomenon is being caused by a sharp decrease in the amount of waterflowing into it, as the countries along the river jordan, the dead sea's main source, harness the water's flow for industry and farming. 30 years ago, the dead sea came all the way up here, right up to these beach umbrellas. but now, the sea has receded so much that tourists need to be passed by tractor to the water's edge. it's a distance more than a mile. the tractor rides might be a fun novelty for tourists, but they're expensive to run. and the shrinking sea has caused an even bigger problem: as the waters recede, huge underground salt deposits are left behind, and when the salt dissolves, the ground above it can collapse without warning, causing sinkholes. yariv has seen the impact first hand. this is the main road, and the main beach, and the main touristic place that used to be... i can see how the roads just all given away. yeah, yeah. everything just collapsing, everything just falling apart. yeah. two years ago, this road, which was one of the country's major highways, was closed and rerouted, after the surface started to sink. it's now an enormous hole. it's crazy, it looks like an earthquake. it is. yeah, unfortunately, it is. yeah, that's uh... basically, that's what's going on. the ground is just falling apart. and it's all fractured, all the way down there. and it's still active. everything's collapsed into that hole. yeah. and this is one of the — and this is part — relatively small. well not so — let's say not so big. that's a small one? not so big, yeah. hah! it's not a big one, yeah. how many sinkholes are there now? around... more than 6000, 6500, let's say, around 6500. when did the first hole happen? the beginning of it was the late ‘80s. it was a phenomenon — a nice one, interesting — very interesting phenomenon. but it escalated very much and very fast. and, once you bring people next to it, people who live, people who work here, and touristic places, then you have to just leave the place, and then you get the biggest damage that you can get. this tourist resort used to be one of the dead sea's few public beaches. two years ago, it had to be evacuated when the ground became too unstable. wow. the whole building had to be abandoned. yeah. yeah, in a short — very short notice, we had to just take everything, pack our bags, stuff, equipment, and just leave. it looks like a war, so... there is a plan to reverse the fortunes of the dead sea by pumping water into it from the red sea, over 100 miles away, but that could take many years, and no—one knows for sure if it will work. in the meantime, the people here are determined to rebuild, using satellite mapping to assess where new holes might open up. actually, what you see there, like a big lagoon, is a chain of sinkholes. eli raz helped develop the satellite system. he's been studying the sinkholes for the past 17 years. so is it safe to explore this area? it is quite safe to somebody who knows where to go, somebody who knows the nature of the sinkholes. for somebody who doesn't know nothing at all, it could be dangerous. eli has started taking groups out to safely view the sinkholes. he wants something positive to come out of the problem. first of all, for the awareness of people to the dead sea crisis, but also, on the other hand, to give explanations. people are willing to know what's happening. and then we have also the other side of the problem. people are amazed by the scenery. it is beautiful. and that's why it's very important to let the people an access the sea — a safe one. nowadays there is no safe access. and i think that we are losing something. the idea is for people to be able to see the geological wonders that have appeared as the dead sea has receded. i just want to show you my diamonds. oh, wow. oh, my gosh. they are actually crystals, idiomorphic crystals of salt. can i keep this? yes, of course. this is, you know, a gift from... thank you very much. a giftfrom... a gift from the dead sea! that's incredible. and it isn'tjust salt diamonds that are formed along the shore. and here is the purest... oh, wow. they form just when there is a slope. and the waves roll them up and down. so diamonds and pearls. diamonds and pearls, yes. you're spoiling me. it is amazing to be able to grab handfuls of these pearls. they're so beautiful. and is there a hole near here, a sinkhole? yes, there are sinkholes, of course, all along the coastal plain. and can we go and look at one? yes. let's go, then. 0h! is that it? all of that? yeah. this is one of the biggest sinkholes, yeah. it is absolutely enormous. this is about 40 metres, 50 metres in diameter. wow! it's filled with water, as well. this is the groundwater. iam a bit scared, here, eli. being sensitive. not exactly sweet water, but with the ability to dissolve salt. yeah. it's like a lagoon, isn't it? it's like a lagoon. it's such a lot to take in, because it's just devastation, but it's also quite beautiful, isn't it? always it's better to look at the bright side of the problem, yes. it's the eerie beauty of this place that is hoped can be used to attract more tourists to the area, and repair some of the economic damage that has been caused by the sinkholes. if you're planning a trip to the dead sea, you don't have to worry about a sinkhole opening up under the beach. the affected areas are clearly signposted, and should not be entered without guidance from an expert. that's all for now. join us next time, when... rajan is at the sports festival in abu dhabi, trying to get to the top of one of the world's highest sand hills, the moreeb dune, which means "terrifying mountain". wow! that was fantastic! you know what?
