Milder winters and wetter summers have caused a drop in numbers of butterflies and bees according to an audit of our wildlife by the National Trust. And carol has the weather. Good morning.

We have some sunshine in the forecast and some rain coming in across the north west. I will have more details on all of that in 15 minutes. Thank you, carol. We will see you then. Good morning. First, our main story. Middle aged people are putting themselves at risk of Serious Health problems unless they take action to change their lifestyles, according to Health Officials. Public Health England says 80 of 40 to 60 year olds are overweight, drinking too much and not getting enough exercise. It says modern life is putting middle aged people at a greater risk of developing diseases like diabetes. Heres our Health Correspondent robert pigott. Lee parker is running for his life. Aged 41 and weighing 22 stone, he was told by his seven year old son that he loved him even though he was fat. It was the nudge lee needed. Since august, when he changed his diet and began to exercise, he has lost 5 stones. It was a case of, with us, should we just order a pizza tonight because we have food in but we could not be bothered cooking. So i think you just become a bit lazy and a bit drowned out with the daily grind of routine. There are many people in lees position. Almost 80 of women aged 40 60 are either overweight, obese, physically inactive or drinking more than official guidelines. Among men, almost 90 fall into the same category. Among the potentially devastating outcomes of this accumulation of health risks is diabetes. It has doubled in this age group in the last 20 years and already costs the nhs in england an estimated £14 billion per year. We are aging as a population but too many of us are ageing with a number of chronic diseases. The reason why we are seeing these increases in chronic diseases, such as cancers, stroke and heart disease, is in a large part because of behaviours which are adopted during our 40 60 year old age period. For example, still smoking, or not getting enough physical activity, or perhaps drinking too much alcohol. The big impact, of course, is that this is going to put a huge burden on health services. To get the message across, in march, public Health England launched a health quizz as part of its one you campaign. It says more than a Million People have now taken the quiz and now have a route map to change their lives. Robert pigott, bbc news well be speaking to a woman who changed her lifestyle after taking the quiz later in the programme. Harrison ford has led tributes to Carrie Fisher, who has died at the age of 60, calling her one of a kind.

Even when hatred burns hottest, even when the tug of tribalism is at its most primal, we must resist the urge to turn inward, we must resist the urge to demonise those who are different. It was a directjibe at his successor donald trump, who has been accused of stoking hatred against everybody from muslims to mexicans. For mr abe too there is deep concern about what will happen to japans most Important Partnership, when mr trump enters the white house in 23 days time. Campaigners for an early brexit have written to Business Organisations across europe to try and drum up support for a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union after the uk stops being a member. The Campaign Group, leave means leave, is hoping for a trade deal with no taxes on goods travelling to and from the continent. Seans here. What does all this mean . Well, leave means leave, another Campaign Group, they want us to leave the eu and they want us to live within a couple of years. One of the members of leave means leave isa of the members of leave means leave is a former head of the Chambers Of Commerce in the uk. They have got in touch with the chamber of commerce around the eu to get them to lobby their governments to say, get a move on. Because leave means leave has said it is not in the benefit of the eu countries or the uk if we end up with a deal at some point where taxes are higher, creating more Trade Barriers between the uk and countries around the eu if we leave. Of course, it is not quite so straightforward, because, one, they can only lobby governments, that dont have power, and also, those countries want something in return, Freedom Of Movement is an issue, can you have freedom of Movement Without ta riffs you have freedom of Movement Without tariffs in the eu pace it is a long way from anything being resolved. It is part of the ongoing process. Thank you very much indeed. Nhs hospitals have made more money than ever from Parking Charges and fines. Figures from 89 trusts across england suggest £120 million was raised from charging patients, staff and visitors for parking in the last year, up 5 on the year before, and rising year on year.

Which they say has been good news for farmers making hay, but has hurt many british insects. Not something i would have expected. It is 6 13am and hugh is here with the sport. Bad news for paul bradley. In the press release, when he was sacked by swansea city, he said football is a cruel game, and he has got it absolutely right. 0h, isnt it . Yeah. Swansea city have sacked manager bob bradley after just 85 days in charge. The former usa coach was appointed in october and won two of his 11 games. The club is currently second bottom of the Premier League. Ryan giggs and wales manager Chris Coleman are among those being named as possible successors. Liverpool are back up to second in the Premier League after a a 1 win over stoke at anfield. Daniel sturridge scored what was liverpools 100th league goal under managerjurgen klopp. There was a second major win in as many days for trainer Colin Tizzard as his horse native river won the Welsh Grand National a day after thistlecrack won the King George Chase. And world number one Michael Van Gerwen survived a scare against the 32nd seed cristo reyes to reach the last 16 of the pdc world darts championship. Former champions phil taylor and Raymond Van Barneveld are also through. And that is all the sport for now, but im sure we will discuss it. Yes, stay with us, and sean is here with us as well, you have found some stories to talk about, havent you . There are some. We are looking at the papers, dominated by one story, the papers, dominated by one story, the news yesterday of the death of Carrie Fisher, only 60 years old, and for many people caught up, of course, 19 years old when she first got the role in star wars, and a fascinating life. We will talk more about that through the morning. The front of the times, a peach of Carrie Fisher, i am looking forward to people sending in their favourite quotes, she was the master of the 1 liner, she was also an fantastic writer a picture. And the times has a story about middle aged people who are in denial about eating too much and drinking too much and maybe being overweight. Yes, those stories replicated on the front of the daily mail, the carry fisher image you can see, and eight in 10 middle aged britons overweight, almost a quarter of men in active according to the report. And, lads, what do we have . I cannot figure out what is better, getting up at 5am on boxing day morning and heading to the shops, or doing a little bit of googling on Christmas Day, looking for the sales. I think that we know the answer. Well, i dont know. Do you like shopping, sean . No, buti searched on Christmas Day in the evening andl searched on Christmas Day in the evening and i felt guilty. What were you looking for . Unsurprisingly, it was a suit. Laughter you have to build up your collection in this game. I went to two shops yesterday andl game. I went to two shops yesterday and i left, i couldnt stand it. Were you looking for something specific . Finally enough, it was a suit. You could have at least bought another one. Was it matter . I am not big on shopping and it was too busy. It is now all about online. Well, yeah, and the downside to that is, as the guardian has said, it is tough for shops on the high street, with the Knock On Effect of, will there be more closures . Because neither of you have bought a suit. They will do. They will go and look at the shops and buy it online. Is that what people do . That is quite complicated, anyway. It is, isnt it. I will get some tips from you later. The mad world of mascots in the daily mail. You might well remember Wilfried Zaha at the weekend being accused of diving by the watford mascot. They have lifted many misdemeanours from mascots over the years. It is interesting how the role of the mascot is changing and you may be familiar with the mascot daunting opposition players. It is creeping into british football. What has he done . He thought Wilfried Zaha had tried to earn a penalty unfairly. At the end of the game he just went for a little scared in front of the Crystal Palace winger, which upset him. 0h, front of the Crystal Palace winger, which upset him. Oh, i think we have those pictures coming up at 6 30am. I was there with bristol against northampton when the wolves mascot had a fight with Three Little Pigs at half time on the pitch. And the pigs were another mascot . Part of some advertising going on and they we re some advertising going on and they were winding each other up. Really . They would never get on. Ijust want i just want to share this from the daily mail. This is a now famous dog belonging to someone who is really quite private about what goes on behind closed doors. This is life at number 11 downing street. This is the goal of the chancellor who has his own social media account. There he is. Rex stop a series of pictures of the dog enjoying christmas. Yes. Having tea and biscuits, relaxing on the sofa, taking out the recycling. People are always fascinated by pets. Thank you so much and we will see you later on. The time hours 18 minutes past six. We have carol now with the weather for a winter is getting warmer apparently . Today we have a bit of everything going on because we began Ona Everything going on because we began on a cold note with frost around. Temperatures in some parts are currently 5 and we have fog patches. No fog this morning although some is starting to form in the south. We already have patchy fogs in other parts. Visibility to 50 minutes at the moment. Watch out because in places it is dense. In scotla nd because in places it is dense. In scotland and the far north of england there is as much fog, pockets of frost here and there but producing some rain across the Outer Hebrides. Nothing too substantial. Throughout the morning, some of that fog will lift into low cloud but some of us will see sunshine across southern areas into wales, parts of Northern England, Northern Ireland, but scotland is well. You can see the difference in the literature. 10 celsius compared to the four, for example, around manchester. If you are stuck somewhere where we hang on to the fog all day, the temperature will struggle to rise above freezing. Perhaps one or two degrees at that will be yet. As we have through the evening and overnight we will see fog reforming once again across england and wales in particular. For scotland and Northern Ireland will be more cloud around the time and the Weather Front of the north west will be making the difference. Freezing fog patches for some of frost around for others. The kind of whether you would expect at this time of year. As we had on into tomorrow, some of this fog once again will be socialist. That will lift a low cloud, others may not clear at all. Along the south coast later today parts of wales and Northern Ireland in the north east they will see some sunshine on whether still plaguing the far North Western scotland it will be windy but milder. As we move from thursday to friday High Pressure still across the south of the uk. You can tell by looking at the uk. You can tell by looking at the isobars it will be windy and a Weather Front starts to push that little further south across scotland bringing rain with it as it does. The northern half of the country is still in the mild category. We have ten to 11 degrees. As we come further south under the cloud, especially as there is any fog across those parts temperatures will be further down. As we head into the weekend another front coming southwards will bring rain and as it pushes southwards during the course of the weekend, getting into the far side later cool air will come in behind it with a northerly and we may see some snow. Wintry showers certainly across the north. A bit of everything and the forecast this morning. They do very much. We will talk to you later on. One of a kind. Brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless. The words of Harrison Ford to describe Carrie Fisher after her death at the age of 60. Its just one of many tributes from the actresss friends and colleagues. Peter mayhew, who played Chewbacca In The Star Wars Films says there are no words for this loss. Carrie was the brightest light in every room she entered. I will miss her dearly. Anthony daniels, who played c3po, writes i thought i had got what i wanted under the tree. I didnt. In spite of so many thoughts and prayers from so many. I am very, very sad. Whoopi goldburg describes Carrie Fisher as funnier and smarter than anyone had the right to be. Sail on, silver girl. Condolences, debbie and billie. The american tv host Ellen Degeneres says Carrie Fisher was a brilliant writer, actor, and friend. She was so much fun. I cant believe shes gone. And samuel ljackson, who appeared in the Star Wars Prequels says the light in the galaxy is dimmed by the loss of our Princess Leia. May the force be with her were joined now by hollywood reporterjeanne wolf. Good morning to you. I should say we speak to you quite often about stories that you are covering in hollywood but actually this story, Carrie Fisher she was your friend. Yes. She was a long term friend and also i interviewed her many times and was friendly with her mother. You said you are looking for favourite quotes from harry and i think my favourite is that she is proud i am so sane about being so crazy. We remember her, dont we as an actor and if you look at her career it is almost like at every turn she was doing her best not to act. 0h, turn she was doing her best not to act. Oh, yes. She said she didnt wa nt to act. Oh, yes. She said she didnt want to act but she also understood her need for attention and the fun she had when fans reached out to her. And, when suddenly, star wars became a worldwide phenomenon and teenagers were falling in love with her, girls were calling her a role model and men, she was getting all kinds of crazy sexy messages. We remember her always as Princess Leia, a role she reprised more recently. Did shoot higher of that . How comfortable was she with that image of herself as a 19 year old . She never liked it when people claim she was tired of being Princess Leia. She said she continued throughout the years to hate the hairdo. She would never get over that. She plays a very small part in the latest Star Wars Movie and i went to see it this weekend after there was news that she had had the heart attack and, i tell you, in the theatre full of mixed strangers you could feel the sign. You could hear the emotion and the care people have for her. This was just an instant median of the film. Many people knew that although she had a very gilded copy would life it was not always easy for her, was it . It was very ha rd easy for her, was it . It was very hard for her. She suffered, in those days they courted manic depression and now it is known as bipolar. She suffered from a deep depression and when the world is telling you how famous you worried how lucky you are to have a famous mother and father and how beautiful and wonderful you are and you feel so down. I think that you reach for anything to feel better. So she had a series of addictions, everything from cocaine to prescription drugs. She spoke freely about her time spent in a Mental Institution which she said was the worst thing that ever happened to her. But the thing about her down challenges, the thing about the tragedy of her life that she shared them. And as she grew and shared them. And as she grew and shared so personally and, you must remember, this was a long time ago, far before the confessional books that when she shared her deepest feelings she did it also a humourous perspective and she created a community of people who care for each other who felt better because of what she said. Did not feel so alone and so different. It is wonderful to talk to you this morning. Wonderful pictures of Carrie Fisher with her dog. She took the dog was heard to a lot of Press Conferences and interviews is what. Quite a character. We will have more later this morning. We will speak to her co star Warwick Davis, he will speak to us before i got this morning. It is 26 minutes past six and it has been a mild and wet year weatherwise. And tim muffetts in beautiful somerset for us this morning to tell us what thats meant for the uks wildlife population. Iam here i am here at a National Trust property and master the west of bristol.

We have excellent stories here about mascots. There have been a few, havent they are . Yeah. There . Modern life is being blamed for a major blight on the health of middle aged people. Public Health England says more than 80 of those aged between a0 and 60 are either overweight, inactive or drinking too much. It says theyre putting themselves at risk of diabetes, which already costs the nhs an estimated £1a billion a year. Researchers say obesity has gone up by 16 over the last two decades. Many who took part in the study didnt even recognise what a healthy body weight looked like. So public Health England wants people to take a health quiz, to try get people to change their bad habits. Joining us from our london newsroom is professor muir gray, one of the clinical advisors behind the campaign. Very good morning to you. Thank you for your time this morning. Can you give us a snapshot of the scale of the problem we are facing . Maybe we are used to talking about younger people and obesity. Maybe older people and obesity. Maybe older people with other conditions. You are concentrating on the a0 to 60 age group. We prefer the term middle age. Midlife isnt the beginning of the end. It is the end of the beginning. We know that in changing your approach in midlife, you can reduce the risk of not only type 2 diabetes, which is a preventable condition, you can reduce the risk of dementia. This is terrifically exciting information. We have Research Showing the problems of old age can be reduced. Midlife people are sometimes called the Sandwich Generation, they have children on one side, elderly parents on the other, they have tough jobs, driving to work, sitting all the time at work. It is an environmental problem as much as a lifestyle problem. That is the message. The message is, people can change. This group of people, a0 to 60, they have had a lot of messages over the years. They cant have, well, they can have ignored, but they cannot have not heard the previous messages. Why are they not adapting their lifestyles . We havent got the message right in the past. We have blamed individuals for laziness or ignorance. Actually, we havent taken into account, as i say, the pressure on the Sandwich Generation. And the one new program, and the how are you quiz, i dont know it if you have tried it, it begins by saying, what do you want to achieve . How do you see the future . Why do you want to be healthy . And what obstacles do you face . It is notjust lifespan, it is health span. It is health and enjoyment, Notjust Living longer and dying miserably at the end. The keyissueis and dying miserably at the end. The key issue is to help people adapt, and that means changing the way they work. Maybe you guys should stand up for part of your morning program, rather than sitting all the time. Laughter we are sitting on the sofa, which perhaps we shouldnt do. Very dangerous. Absolutely. Question one is, what is your name, your christian name, the question number two is, what is your sex, and then it asks, quite poignant, how are you feeling . It gives you a range of options. One of them is, if you excuse options. One of them is, if you excuse the language, are you feeling really knackered, or are you full of beans . There is a scale of how you are feeling. What is the relevance to that question . You could catch someone on an to that question . You could catch someone on an individual day and, you know, they feel fine, the next day they are lousy, so why ask that question . It you have to start where people are, i think it is a marketing slogan. Healthca re people are, i think it is a marketing slogan. Healthcare is what you do for yourself, what we think you do for yourself, what we think you should do. You have to start where people are. They are consistent. They know what we are getting at. This is one of the wonders of the form, we dont even call it the smartphone, the value of the phone is you can personalise it, so the phone is you can personalise it, so instead of putting up an advertisement to speak to everyone, we can communicate with you. You have to start by saying, and i have set it to you this morning, well, how are you guys . You are may be up or down one to the next, by people generally have a position in life, and that is where we start, we start with you the individual, there is only one of you. That is the approach. And as with the mobile phone and the ability to do the quiz online, then it is a personal message, not a broadcast message. Some people say people on tv dont listen, so look at this, we are making an effort. We have stood up. Good 50 minutes do you know, can we start a trend, stanley cup news . I think it has been done before, hasnt it . Standing up news. Carroll, are you standing up . She is a lwa ys carroll, are you standing up . She is always standing up. She is the healthiest of all of us. Morning, carol. Good morning all, indeedy, and you might want to start running because it is called to start. Temperatures locally in england and wales 5, with frost and fog around, some is dense, especially in the west midlands, east wales, visibility to 15 metres. You can see quite a lot of fog is forming. If you are travelling, bear that in mind. As we push into north england, Northern Ireland and scotland, we have variable cloud, some brightness when the cloud comes up, some showers ahead of a band of Rain Waiting In The Wings across the hebrides. Through the day the fault will lift, some into low cloud, some wont lift at all, but there would be some sun for some. Across southern coastal counties, wales, Northern England, Northern Ireland and parts of scotland too. It is breezy in the north. Maehl here. Further south, threes, fours and fyvie. And fives. If you are stuck with the fog all day, it will be grey and it will also be cold, temperatures around freezing, slightly above, slightly below, then this fog will reform for england and wales. In scotland and Northern Ireland, more cloud around, A Touch Of Frost and we might see frost for england and whales also, and freezing fog to boot. Tomorrow, very similarto freezing fog to boot. Tomorrow, very similar to date freezing fog to boot. Tomorrow, very similarto date in freezing fog to boot. Tomorrow, very similar to date in that it will take a while for the fog to lift wales. Some of it into low cloud, some wont lift at all and the best areas for sometime southern coastal counties into the south west, parts of wales, parts of Northern Ireland, Eastern England and north east scotland. But by now the rain making more progress across the Outer Hebrides. Throw in cloud and showers ahead of it with the north west highlands. As we move into friday, watch the squeeze on the isobars, turning that bit windier, not to the extent of last week, with a Weather Front pushing further south, and further south we have High Pressure hanging on by the skin of its teeth. Light wind here. With the combination of the cloud, wind and rain in the north it will be seven fairly mild. Further south, we will see some sunshine, but there will see some sunshine, but there will also be some fog and you know the drill, without much wind it wont move rapidly at all. As we head into the weekend, of course, including new years day, we have the Weather Front in the north sinking steadily south, bringing rain with it as it does so. Look how the isobars rain with it as it does so. Look how the isoba rs change, rain with it as it does so. Look how the isobars change, coming from a northerly direction, so it is going to turn colder, the front should clear on new years day, behind it, well, we are looking at some sunshine with the risk of some wintry showers too, but mainly in the north, sally and charlie. Are you Still Standing up . No, no, no, go and have a nice sitdown, carol. Standing up is hard work. Seans here now and hes talking about something most of us like bargains i love a bargain. But you wont go online . You do not like them that much . I go online on boxing day. Have i missed the bargains by then . We are talking about Bargain Stores here. Pound land, powerand we are talking about Bargain Stores here. Pound land, power and world and the others. Poundworld, 99p stores, poundstretcher, b m and Home Bargains spending at Bargain Stores totalled £a. 9 billion in the year tojuly, up 17 from the previous year. You the stores have had a big rise in first time visitors more than 2. 2 million households shopping there for the first time. Almost a third of the increase in spending down to shoppers switching away from mainstream supermarkets and likes of boots, superdrug. Nearly four fifths of households in britain now buy from Bargain Stores that makes them more popular than the bigger german discount supermarket chains aldi and lidl, which are visited by three quarters of households. To try and find out why they have had such a good year i went along to meet the boss of one of those retailers. Once upona Once Upon A Time in the not so distant past we would have gone to a big supermarket for the weekly shop. Their market share has been eaten away. The shoppers continued to change. We have had the rise of the discounters and recently it has been the turn of the Bargain Store selling groceries like these at the same rate as places like waitrose. Notjust same rate as places like waitrose. Not just the groceries same rate as places like waitrose. Notjust the groceries in the kitchen that we purchase more. Homewares things like cushions and candles and plant pots and, of course, christmas decorations. Spending in these stores is up by almost 20 on last year, now totalling more than £5 billion. What has been driving the recent change . Ten yea rs has been driving the recent change . Ten years ago we were known for groceries and clearance to. That is not the business today. Today it is far more about general merchandise. Housewares, diy, toys, christmas decoration, gardening. What is now about items you sell here that maybe you would not necessarily have seen ten yea rs you would not necessarily have seen ten years ago . The scale. We have 100 buyers travelling around the world from the very best that she is looking from particular product. Having done so we get the volume, bring them in and we have a different mindset of competition. So thatis different mindset of competition. So that is how they sell what is on offer. But what sort of shoppers are heading in store . This is about democratising shopping. Everyone across the country we sharply because we all want a bargain and we are not prepared to pay more than we have to for things we buy everyday. How do you decide where to shop . It depends on which area you are in because if you are in this area you pick certain things up here. And then we will come here for another thing. We have a test is next to our place. Whats at a Price Pressures do you have . Everything you see here in soft furnishings is made overseas and there are Price Pressures because of the weakness of sterling. In ourfavour, because of the weakness of sterling. In our favour, however, because of the weakness of sterling. In ourfavour, however, our business is growing at 20 a year. By reinvesting the benefits of that increased volume, wherever it is managed, we can keep prices steady. The price set to rise next year in the competition for retailer will only get hotter. The Big Quadra Super markers will use their power on the march of the discounters will continue. With four out of every five people now shopping at a discount, the days of putting all their baubles in one basket are now long gone. It was a nice basket there. It just long gone. It was a nice basket there. Itjust goes to show that it is not just one there. Itjust goes to show that it is notjust one shop any more. And you wonder, dont you, if they are all converging to the same thing . You have the big supermarkets with a little cheaper aisles and you have the discounters with the premium products. You see shops at the end and their Selling Homewa Res products. You see shops at the end and their selling homewares which a lot of them do. I dont know how you choose where to go . You probably just go to many different places to find your bargains. Thank you very much. As weve been hearing from carol this morning, todays weather is expected to be mostly foggy and cold, but the majority of us are yet to see the bitter temperatures you might expect for december. In fact, like last winter, this one has been pretty mild so far, and thats had a huge impact on the uks wildlife. Lets find out more from breakfasts tim muffett, whos at tyntesfield National Trust estate, near bristol, for us this morning. Good morning to you. I am about ten miles west of bristol. This National Trust house each year has an assessment of its Properties Across the uk. It tries to work out what impact the weather has had an the wildlife because as you say, although it is cold this morning this winter has been a mild one and as heard, most winters within the last few years have been the same. What impact has that hat . If you think that this eu have needed to mow the lawn more often than normal you are not imagining it. This year, beef Farmer Robert made hay while the sun was shining. And while the rain came. And, still, his grass grows. We have seen a good grace throughout the season. A lot of grass on the ground at the moment and we are in the end of december now and we are still grazing outside. Everyday i can get my cattle out of the shed i it is better for them. So why the rampant grass growth . A mild and wet winter has been followed by a cold spring and then came more mild wet weather in may and june. Ideal conditions for grass to grow. The rate of growth was in many places a third faster than normal according to the agriculture and water Cold Shoulder vellu m agriculture and water Cold Shoulder vellum on board. Conservationists are assessing the impact. Excessive grass grows, why does it matter . L lot of our rarer plants and animals, particularly insects, live in very short turf. If he gets covered over by these coarse grasses, populations of those rare insects plummet. And that has been an issue . Definitely. This man has analysed the impact of the weather on wildlife or ten yea rs. The weather on wildlife or ten years. A number of species have been hit in 2016. The losers have been the butterflies, beef, beatles and some grasshoppers which actually require very short turf. Wasps were hit badly by the despicable summer of 2012. They have not really recovered. We usually get wasps nesting on this bank and i can vouch there are no nests here in all this year. Nine. Surely that is good . They are an important part of the food chain. They are really quite good at controlling a lot of tests and nasty little insect like greenfly. One of the things that should be properly hibernating had as pillars. When you get a mild month like this they are not hibernating properly. They are out and about. That is not good for them because they burn off their energy. As ever there were Wildlife Winners in 2016. Helped in part by wind direction. It has been a fantastic yearfor migrant direction. It has been a fantastic year for migrant birds. A strong wind from the east, that helps a lot of migrating birds. Yes. We had over 200 goldcrest arrived on the islands one day. From our Point Of View of an excellent year. From the Point Of View of gardeners it was disastrous. You keep getting mild winters and we keep getting short spells of good weather. We have not had a good summer since 2006. We are overdue. Think back, there was the odd hot day during some of what he is talking about was a prolonged period of hot weather and the view is we have not really have that for ten yea rs have not really have that for ten years or so. Have not really have that for ten years or so. Other impact has been good for tree seeds. They have been a longer Growing Season. Apples have had a good year. Cider producers have had a great time. How they have been negative impacts as well. What will the future hold . We will have to see. We do for another culture . Who knows . The 10 year trend has been for milder winters and wetter summers. We will get all the weather for today in the next few days with carol and later on. You are watching brea kfast. Carol and later on. You are watching breakfast. Still to come here this morning it has emerged that George Michael generously gave millions of pounds to most of it in secret. We are so many pounds to most of it in secret. We are so many acts of kindness anonymous . We will find out more. I now get the new travel and weather from where you are. Good morning from bbc london news, im charley figgis. Residents who say their lives have been turned upside down since a fire ripped through their west london tower block, are taking legal action. The blaze was caused by a faulty Whirlpool Tumble Dryer in august. The Home Appliance manufacturer says the safety of consumers is their number one priority but a lawyer representing those affected has concerns. The obligation is on manufacturers to get it right the first time. Consumers purchasing products and they expect them to be safe that is an obligation that manufacturers can not ignore and we dont see why this should be a different Kettle Of Fish. A 17 year old boy has died and another has life threatening injuries after a crash in leigh on sea. The car they were in was being followed by a marked essex police car. The case has been referred to the independent Police Complaints commission. Theres a limited service on the tubes this morning. Waterloo city line is closed as are parts of the circle line district line. That allows for track and drainage replacement. A special Train Service operates between broadway. Lets look at the quick look at the roads now. As you can see Marylebone Road is down to one lane at baker street. That will cause delays later on in the day. Let us have a look at the weather. Actually start this morning with temperatures as low as minus four degrees overnight. Fog we are watching quite carefully this morning for your morning commute. That could affect you if you are out on the roads. High pressure in control of our weather over today and the next few days so while will try to settle eventually when the fog lifts it is a fine afternoon. More fog tonight. Over the next few days disruption could be an issue from the fog. Watch out for it on your local Radio Station especially. As we go through this morning here is the fog from the Frost Lifting through the day. Brightening up by the end of the day. Light winds. As we go through this evening at overnight you see the fog starting to reform again through the night it could be quite an issue. Another chilly night with temperatures down to freezing. A very slow start to your day tomorrow. The fog could take a really long time to lift and that could have an impact in some spots it will reach just three or four degrees. That is the scenario for the end of the week. Im back with the latest from the bbc london newsroom in half an hour. Plenty more on our website at the usual address. Now, though, its back to charlie and sally. Bye for now. Hello, this is breakfast, with sally nugent and Charlie Stayt. More than 80 of men and women in england aged between a0 and 60 are overweight, inactive, or drinking too much.

We have some sunshine in the forecast and some rain coming in across the north west. I will have more details on all of that in 15 minutes. Thank you, carol. Good morning. First, our main story. Middle aged people are putting themselves at risk of Serious Health problems unless they take action to change their lifestyles, according to Health Officials. Public Health England says 80 of a0 to 60 year olds are overweight, drinking too much and not getting enough exercise. It says modern life is putting middle aged people at a greater risk of developing diseases like diabetes. Heres our Health Correspondent robert pigott. Lee parker is running for his life. Aged a1 and weighing 22 stone, he was told by his seven year old son that he loved him even though he was fat. It was the nudge lee needed. Since august, when he changed his diet and began to exercise, he has lost 5 stone. It was a case of, with us, should we just order a pizza tonight because we have food in but we could not be bothered cooking it. So i think you just become a bit lazy and a bit drowned out with the daily grind of routine. There are many people in lees position. Almost 80 of women aged a0 60 are either overweight, obese, physically inactive or drinking more than official guidelines. Among men, almost 90 fall into the same category. Among the potentially devastating outcomes of this accumulation of health risks is diabetes. It has doubled in this age group in the last 20 years and already costs the nhs in england an estimated £1a billion per year. We are aging as a population but too many of us are ageing with a number of chronic diseases. The reason why we are seeing these increases in chronic diseases, such as cancers, stroke and heart disease, is in a large part because of behaviours which are adopted during our a0 60 year old age period. For example, still smoking, or not getting enough physical activity, or perhaps drinking too much alcohol. The big impact, of course, is that this is going to put a huge burden on health services. To get the message across, in march, public Health England launched a health quiz as part of its one you campaign. It says more than a Million People have now taken the quiz and now have a route map to change their lives. Robert pigott, bbc news well be speaking to a woman who took the quiz and changed her lifestyle just after 8am. Harrison ford has led tributes to Carrie Fisher, who has died at the age of 60, calling her one of a kind.

Our entertainment correspondent lizo mzimba looks back at her life. Clever and confident. What the hell are you doing . somebody has to save our skins. Occasionally caustic. Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of many i way . Will somebody get this big walking carpet out of my way . Carrie fishers leia wasnt your typical Princess Waiting to be rescued. For luck. What appealed to me was that george lucas, who wrote and directed it, didnt want a damsel in distress, didnt want your stereotypical princess, you know. The galactic princess grew up hollywood royalty, the daughter of 505 Movie Legend debbie reynolds. Throughout her Acting Career she battled Drug Addiction and mental illness. Writing about it was a form of therapy for her. People used to ask me, you know, right after i got sober, initially theyd say, so, are you happy now .

For 75 years, americans have been taught to remember pearl harbor, but today President Obama called on americans to take a different lesson from this place. Even when hatred burns hottest, even when the tug of tribalism is at its most primal, we must resist the urge to turn inward, we must resist the urge to demonise those who are different. It was a directjibe at his successor, donald trump, who has been accused of stoking hatred against everybody from muslims to mexicans. For mr abe, too, there is deep concern about what will happen to japans most Important Partnership when mr trump enters the white house in 23 days time. Campaigners for an early brexit have written to Business Organisations across europe to try and drum up support for a Free Trade Agreement with the European Union after the uk stops being a member. The Campaign Group, leave means leave, is hoping for a trade deal with no taxes on goods travelling to and from the continent. The government says its working to secure the best possible deal. Nhs hospitals have made more money than ever from Parking Charges and fines. Figures from 89 trusts across england suggest £120 million was raised from charging patients, staff and visitors for parking in the last year, up 5 on the year before, and rising year on year. Patient groups have criticised rising Parking Costs but the Department Of Health said it expects trusts to put concessions in place for disabled people, carers and shift workers. The Co Operative Group says it will open 100 Stores Across britain next year. The move would create 1,500 jobs. It opened a similar number of stores this year.

The company is nearing the end of a three year Turnaround Programme after a period of turmoil in its banking group.

Unsettled weather during the past decade has had a real impact on the uks wildlife, according to the National Trust, with some of its sites recording dramatic falls in the number or bees and butterflies. The Charity Points to a combination of milder winters and wetter summers for dramatic boosting grass growth. Which they say has been good news for farmers making hay, but has hurt many british insects. You are watching breakfast on bbc news, it is exactly 7 10am. Bypass brussels and persuade businesses in the rest of europe to put pressure on the eu to give us a good brexit deal. Thats the idea from the Campaign Group leave means leave. Its demanding britain leaves the Single Market within two years. But will this speed up the Brexit Process and what impact will this have . Joining us now isjon tonge, professor of politics at the university of liverpool. Morning, john. Good morning. So, the idea is they are appealing business to business is there any point, given the politics that will be involved . It shows the message that theresa mays appeal for unity over brexit lasted 72 hours, because here we go again, leave means leave means they want a world of free trading nations without tariffs imposed, and ata nations without tariffs imposed, and at a certain level it makes sense, but politics are much more difficult, because why would the eu give us a deal like this when they wa nt to give us a deal like this when they want to send out a message that there is a punishment to be had for leaving the eu . There is a punishment to be had for leaving the eu . Certain countries in the eu would favour the tariff free deal, the example is germany with 13 of german exports coming to the uk. If you put tariffs on those exports, they will sell less to the uk. One in five cars come to the uk. Some countries will be keen on this and Angela Merkel when she isnt seeking a fourth term next year in germany, may well be sympathetic to the idea. Any deal, tariff free deal, would have to be approved by the 27 remaining countries in the eu ona the 27 remaining countries in the eu on a qualified Majority Vote Basis and that wont happen. The people behind leave means leave know that. Well, yes, but they are exerting the maximum pressure because they fear the current government has its eye ona the current government has its eye on a single eu market, the norway style deal. That costs each norwegian £115 per head to pay it to access the Single Market, and you dont control immigration, which is such a big issue for many british people, so leave means leave want to create, basically, for us to leave without a deal, we would become part of the World Trade Organisation and straight on their basis. At World Trade Organisation rules allow for tariffs. You would have an average of 18 tariff on any goods imported from the eu, and that would cause inflationary pressure. So, in reality, leave means leave believe in what they are saying, but is what they are really doing trying to keep they are really doing trying to keep the pressure on . So that it is talked about more, so things cannot be hushed up and go quiet . Yes, the debate has moved on to the type of brexit we have. Whatever the Supreme Court decides next month in terms of article 50, House Of Commons wont d efy article 50, House Of Commons wont defy the will of the people, we will leave the eu, so what deal will we get . For leave means leave, anything including britains membership of a single eu market, even associate member, is unacceptable. The point ofa member, is unacceptable. The point of a brexit vote is to be a free trading nation. They represent 70 100 parliamentarians in the conservative party, which is an awful lot, given that theresa may has a majority of 1a at the moment, so has a majority of 1a at the moment, so you has a majority of 1a at the moment, so you see has a majority of 1a at the moment, so you see the size of the influence. It is the conservatives within leave means leave which matters. We will leave it there for now. Thank you very much. For in five in england are putting their health at risk because they are overweight, drinking too much for not doing enough exercise. The japanese Prime Minister offered everlasting condolences to the victims of pearl harbor, but 75 yea rs victims of pearl harbor, but 75 years on his words fell short of an apology for the attack. Heres carol with a look at this mornings weather. It was very chilly getting up for work this morning. Absolutely right. Locally across parts of england and wales the temperature fell to minus six. You will not be surprised to hear there is frost around. As well is that we also have fog patches, some of which are dense and will be slow to clear up. If they do it all. Along the Coastline Temperatures are a little higher that you do not need to move far inland to reach low temperatures and patchy fog. Disability in some parts 50 metres in others, 100, in others more than that. In the very far north we have allowed around with some breaks in it and showers across the north west thailand. Through the gate before we had across england and wales will lift. Some were lifted all and that will have an adverse impact on the temperatures. Across england and the south west, perhaps in Northern Ireland in Northern England and scotla nd ireland in Northern England and scotland here we will see some sunshine although pleasant to the time of the year in the sunshine but windier with more cloud across north west and some showers as well. Through the afternoon you can see where we hang the Fog Temperatures will struggle to break freezing. It will struggle to break freezing. It will be cold and it will be great. Through the evening and overnight more fog will form, especially across england and wales with frost around as well. Across Northern Ireland scotland there will be more cloud around. More of the breezes will across the far north west starting to show its head some rain, into the Outer Hebrides. Tomorrow the rain continues to exams. Slowly southwards, not making a huge amount of progress but glad ahead of it will build across the west of scotla nd will build across the West Of Scotland and parts of Northern Ireland. The fog that we have, like today, will be slow to clear. Some that will not clear at all. Again, an adverse impact on temperatures. Into the south west and west wales, parts of north west england Northern Ireland, north east scotland, these are both test areas for sunshine. Now he waves in prospect, however. Again we look at low temperatures. 11 celsius where we have that Weather Front. The front wheel make more Progress Southwards during the course of thursday and friday. But the squeeze here. High pressure hanging on by the skin of its teeth in the south. Any fog that falls in the south will be slow to clear the colour will be far milder in the north where we have a combination of cloud, wind and rain. Further south some breaks in the cloud, a little sunshine but emphasis on quite a grey day and you may see showers forming in the west. It will get a little milder in the south during the weekend before it turns colder for us all. Carol, we are talking about internet connected devices next. Your clicker is on a wire, isnt it . And your year pieces. You have groovy earpieces. Mine is still the kind attached to a box. |j have groovy earpieces. Mine is still the kind attached to a box. I am weighed in as well. Thank you very much, carol. I have a wireless earpieces. So can that be hacked, i wonder . That is the thing. Many people getting gadgets for christmas and there are wonderful when they work but are they risks attached . Virtual assistants and smart tvs, connected watchers, all of these things make your life easier. What did you mention, a kettle . There is a Remote Control cattle that you can turn on from your phone. It would need a password. Remote controlled cattle. There are over six billion convective sins by the end of this year. They do not come without risk. We could be sacrificing a privacy and opening hours. To hackers. This family home may look safe and secure. Inside there are intruders that claim to make your life easier. In reality they could prove otherwise. Ghosts you need to worry about, it is these and hackers know how to control them. The modern household of today has more Smart Technology than ever before and by the end of 2016 it is estimated that there will be 6. A billion connected things in use with 5. 5 million new devices going online every day. We have found some smart items, Security Cameras, lightbulbs. If im at work i can get notification iphone about the Security Cameras. I can see that as a burglar or my husband coming home early. So you feel secure . That is what she thinks. Without even having to get out of his car, and that he can gain control of your home security, lighting, music players and your kettle. One of the first in liturgy that catches my eye is this. If any had taken gets access that catches my eye is this. If any had ta ken gets access to that catches my eye is this. If any had taken gets access to that, they are on your home network and once you were there, that is when you can start trying to attack or gain unauthorised access to other devices. Of course he is not a real hacker, heres a Cyber Security expert, used by companies to discover security weaknesses. It turns out with the right know how you can hack pretty much everything. Computer, How Old Are You . This is the tale at all. She has Bluetooth Capability and if you are within range you can connect to this toyed without any authentication or passwords or anything. We have been able to show how you can start turning the microphone want to on to record audio and playthings back. Ican to record audio and playthings back. I can say what i like. Matters in control. What else is in this room . A smart tv here. Depending on the level of access an attacker might have they may be to do certain things like deploying applications, record audio, that hackers can listen in to a record. That is terrifying, thinking that somebody may be listening to you from your television. So if you find a smart device under the tree this christmas the advice is to make sure it is secure, you use passwords and check your privacy settings. That way you can ensure there are no ghosts in your machines. Tony neate from Technology Research company Get Safe Online is here to tell us how we can protect ourselves. Good morning. Isnt it great . All about technology, i love gadgets. It is like christmas for me every day. Many people will of received Something Like this for christmas. We purchase more and more of these smart gadgets. You make sure you are safe if you have, for example, one of the things that can record voices or perhaps use a camera from a device that you have in your house . The key to it all is passwords. The most important place to have a good strong password is on the router because your whole router is the one that controls all this. If they cannot get in there than they can get to what we call the internet of things. Anything that is connected. There are some very important bits and pieces that we really need to make sure our secure. That is our camera, Security Camera and locks. You can now purchase an actual Front Door Lock that is controlled by the internet. Will or you do as you turn your phone and it opens the lock as your phone and it opens the lock as you walk in. These are things we need to know. Things are lights. If Someone Monitors need to know. Things are lights. If Someone Monitors when the lights come on and off they can know when you are in. I think the internet is fantastic and there are some simple easy precautions you can take to make sure that none of these things affect you. How easy is it to hack into someones Front Door Lock . What are the main problems is that people do not change the password that comes with it, the default password. If you change the default password, people will always be able to discover what it is. The first thing to do is to look at the instructions and change the password so you have and change the password so you have a different one. I say that for everything we do. We need to make sure we have more than one password. You do not have one key for everything you do and you cannot have one password. If you lose one key, you need to change all your locks, and lose one password, you need to change every access you have. Even with a password for your phone and for your computer, perhaps a password for work, remembering just those is tricky enough. Are we heading towards a future where we may have ten different passwords for ten Different Things . Right now, if you have not got ten passwords in your life then you are not probably as secure as you could be. One of the things we recognise and is to have a Security Locker for your passwords. It is called a Password Manager or a password locker, a password safe. You can put all your passwords in their and then have one key password in order to get to it. You just need to accept, look, with the modern day on the way we are Going Forward there will be restrictions on one of those is that we need different passwords. It is fantastic, all this stuff, one my grandchildren have a robot that you could control move. That is fantastic and it is not really a lot you can do with eight kettle or a robot that there is with other things. We need to ensure that we look at the website, have a look at what we should and shouldnt do and secure ourselves. This is a river life in any way question does anybody actually need a Remote Controlled kettle . Anybody actually need a remotecontrolled kettle . Is laziness. We can sit there and watch the television and we know the advertisements are coming up so we can turn of an waiting for advertisements to start. It is just. Same argument i used to have with people about windup windows on your cars. Putting a buyer is lazy but it is also easy to ask someone to push the button. And it is about making life easier for people. We also need to make sure that the manufacturers help us i have been default advice about what we have to do in relation. It can be quite complicated out there, especially for us silver surfers. More passwords. If i understood that correctly, you should have all of your passwords in one place and then have a password to get into your passwords. If someone gets a passwords. If someone gets a password that got all your passwords. That is correct. You whisper a day we would have surrounded by nature of that technology . I dont like right now in fact. Surrounded by big insects. Look around. A mild wet year weatherwise. Its been a mild and wet year weather wise and tim muffetts in somerset for us this morning to tell us what thats meant for the uks wildlife population. Iamat i am at one with nature this morning on this cold morning. But it has been a mild winter, generally speaking this year as it has been for the last ten years or so. Were here at the National Trust property about ten miles west of bristol. Each year the National Trust assessed their Properties Across the uk to see what impact the weather of that year has had on the wildlife. A little later on we will find out what that impact has been. If you think back to this year and wonder if you have been mowing the lawn a little more than usual, you are not imagining that. Grass is growing faster and we will look at the other impact shortly. All, news from your region. Good morning from bbc london news, im charley figgis.

The Charity Points to a combination of milder winters and wetter summers for dramatic boosting grass growth, which has been good forfarmers making hay, but led to falls in insect numbers. Coming up on the program, we have our own weather expert, wont we, carol, telling us what the weather will be like in the next couple of days. Right now is 7 33am and time for the sport. Tell us about this little fella. Bradley had hopes about swansea city, the First American manager in the Premier League, he says he is disappointed to have lost his job and he says football is a cruel game, just 11 matches in charge, but he did not turn things around with seven defeats after 11 matches. And now there is a significant rumour, isnt there, that they are talking to ryan giggs again, who they spoke to last time when he did in get thejob. Giggs again, who they spoke to last time when he did in get the job. He did it get the job in the summer and the difficulty is, do you bring in an experienced man, or do you give ryan giggs his firstjob . We will see. Swansea city have sacked manager bob bradley after just 85 days in charge. The swans are currently second bottom of the Premier League, having won just two games since bradleys appointment in october.

We need all of them, and especially daniel, of course. In four days there is another game. Hopefully they all stay healthy and fit. Two days later is another game, and then three days later there is another game. We have enough opportunities for everybody who is fit, so hopefully they are all fit.

The time now is 7 37am mascot. Working in a homeless shelter and quietly donating thousands of pounds to people hed never met are just some of the things weve learnt about George Michaels generosity since he died on Christmas Day. Like many others across the country, hed decided to donate anonymously. So what do people get out of secretly giving time or money to charity . Well discuss that in a moment, first heres what people in salford had to say. Wyatt a big deal of it . Just give if thatis wyatt a big deal of it . Just give if that is the way to feel. Wyatt abbey deal of it . You dont have to say, look at me, i am giving money to charity, you just dont do that, well, i dont anyway. It isnt about ask on the it is about other people and it isnt about what you get from it, it is about giving, it is a selfless act, isnt it . If you are giving too much or not enough, you dont want to seem overly generous. It isnt all about, if i am giving to charity, someone patting me on the back, ijust want to charity, someone patting me on the back, i just want to to charity, someone patting me on the back, ijust want to donate to a good cause and that is enough, really. I dont feel the need to be patted on the back. It doesnt matter where it comes from, does it . Joining us in the studio is mike peacey, whos an economics lecturer at the new college of humanities in london. Mike tomlinson, whose wife jane raised almost £2 million for charity before her death from cancer, joins us from our leeds newsroom. Mike tomlinson, if i can come to you first of all, you have had huge amounts to do with fundraising for charity over the last several years. How common is it for people to give anonymously . It is quite common for people who are well known to give anonymously and four other people it tends to be larger amounts that are anonymous, but i would say 30 are anonymous. And do you ever get an indication from the people who maybe do give you a significant amount, why they dont want publicity what is it . Icing for people or organisations in the public eye, i think to share the fact they are giving money to charity brings a lot of attention to them i think for people. It leads to a lot of request for help or donations. It can become a lot for them. And then ultimately they can become unwilling to help because of this significant amount of request for help they get. Sometimes people were giving money to individuals. He would see a story, hear about someones situation, and he would come up with the money. How unusual is that way of going about handing out money to people who need it . With George Michael, it was definitely that he felt very connected to various causes and wanted to do great things. And what i found, with some of my students, is that they dont just want to make money or do things, they want to make a difference, they want to make the world a re difference, they want to make the world are better place, and making an anonymous donation was what he did to help people. When we spoke with people in the street, the sentiment was, it doesnt matter where the money comes from, but there are people who want it to be known that they have handed over money. Of course. There are Different Reasons why people may or may not choose to make anonymous donations. And in a study that i conducted a couple of years ago on data from the london marathon, i found if people making significantly smaller donations than average, they would like to keep their information on anonymous and maybe the reason for that is a didnt want to be seen to be too tight. Equally, on the other side, we found that often donations at were a lot larger were ke pt donations at were a lot larger were kept anonymous. And it might be because they didnt want to break the social norm or they didnt want to show up their peers by perhaps being too generous. But on the other hand, what we also found, one of the significant findings was that by choosing to make an anonymous donation it encouraged others to give more, so there was a benefit to forgoing the prestige themselves in terms of signalling just how good the charity was, or how much they believed in the courts. Mike tomlinson, is there ever a situation you have come across where you want someone you have come across where you want someone to say publicly that they have perhaps made this donation perhaps without giving more publicity or raise the profile of a particular cause . That would never be the case. I think whoever you are, if you want to give anonymously, it should be anonymous. And from a map Point Of View it is important that people should have some confidence in the charity that they wont, once they have done something, that they wont be asked again to donate or contribute time or effort. There is a lot of pressure on people to help and support charities and i think the fa ct support charities and i think the fact that people have donated, we should be thankful for that, there should be thankful for that, there should be thankful for that, there should be no extra pressure put on them at all. Interesting that people, talking about George Michael, he didnt just people, talking about George Michael, he didntjust give money, and Mike Tomlinson mentioned time, he also gave time, he volunteered. Yes, time is great, especially, i know when i was younger, we didnt have money, but we were happy to give time and that is a really valuable thing. We put on our races in summerand you valuable thing. We put on our races in summer and you get between 1000 2000 volunteers, and that is as valuable as money. Thank you both for your time this morning. The time is 7 aaam. Lets go to carol for the mornings whether. Good morning. If you havent stepped out it is a cold start to the day, especially across england and wales. Temperatures have widely fallen below freezing but locally six, so it is frosty. We also have some fog patches, they identify the this is the picture at nine oclock, you can see patchy fog. Along southern counties it isnt as call on the coast and we dont have issues with fog. The fog is dense and some parts have had visibility down to 50 metres. In Northern Ireland, the north of england and scotland, there is more cloud around, but equally we have some sunshine. For the north west scotland, thick cloud with showers and the breeze is more noticeable. Through the day a lot of the fog will be slow to lift. Some of it will be slow to lift. Some of it will lift into low cloud, some of it will lift into low cloud, some of it will linger through the day, but we expect sunshine to develop along southern counties, through wales, Northern Ireland, Northern England and parts of scotland. Those are the values you can expect. In the sunshine for the time of year it will feel pleasant. If you are stuck under the fog for the day, the temperature will be really struggling to break freezing. It is going to feel cold. Through the evening and overnight more fog will form for england and wales primarily. It will be a cold night with frost around, so we have freezing fog issues, for Northern Ireland and scotland it will be a cool night in rural areas but peter bridges wont be as low, there will be more cloud around, windy for the north west and the rank advancing to the Outer Hebrides. So, tomorrow, the Outer Hebrides. So, tomorrow, the rain continues to slowly move southwards, the progress isnt great, but you will notice more cloud building into western scotland and Northern Ireland, and like today, where we have fog in england and wales, it will be slow to clear. Some of it into low cloud, some not clearing at all, but there will be sunshine for southern counties into the south west, parts of wales, Northern Ireland could see some sunshine, Northern England could, and also north east scotland. Quite and also north east scotland. Quite a wide temperature variation, 11 in stornoway, nowhere else is mild like that. From thursday into friday, the Weather Front here south, there is another in hot pursuit. If you look at the isobars you can see it will be quite a blustery day. So, that rain continues to slowly sink southwards during the course of friday. Across scotland, Northern Ireland, into Northern England, a lot of cloud and breezy, so milder. Further south we could start with some fog. Not as widespread as we are looking at this morning. It will be there nonetheless. Some of it will be slow to clear. And again, one or two showers to the west. As the front comes south, cold air filters in behind it and for some, by the end of the weekend, the first of january, we are looking at by the end of the weekend, the first ofjanuary, we are looking at some wintry showers, mostly in the north. Thank you very much indeed. It does look quite chilly, doesnt it, and foggy. Look quite chilly, doesnt it, and foggy, and the sort of day look quite chilly, doesnt it, and fong, and the sort of day you should stay in. The reason we have all these pictures that you can see on the walls around us, it is because the mild conditions are causing problems. They have had an impact on the wildlife of the uk. Lets find out more from tim. Today it feels rather cold so this may feel misplaced but the general trend over the last decade or so was for milder what winters. September was the second mildest september on record and summer seem second mildest september on record and summer seem to second mildest september on record and summer seem to be wetter as well. What impact does it have been having . Each year the National Trust as those of its Properties Across the uk to assess the impact of the weather on wildlife. If you think that to last summer and you were mowing the lawn will more often than you were probably not imagining it. This year, beef Farmer Robert made hay while the sun was shining. And while the rain came. And, still, his grass grows. We have seen a good grace throughout the season. A lot of grass on the ground at the moment and we are in the end of december now and we are still grazing outside. Everyday i can get my cattle out of the shed i it is better for them. So why the rampant grass growth . A mild and wet winter has been followed by a cold spring and then came more mild wet weather in may and june. Ideal conditions for grass to grow. The rate of growth was in many places a third faster than normal according to the agriculture and water Cold Shoulder according to the agriculture Horticulture Development board. Conservationists are assessing the impact. Excessive grass grows, why does it matter . A lot of our rarer plants and animals, particularly insects, live in very short turf. If it gets covered over by these coarse grasses, populations of those rare insects plummet. And that has been an issue . Definitely. This man has analysed the impact of the weather on wildlife or ten years. A number of species have been hit in 2016. The losers have been the butterflies, bees, beetles and some grasshoppers which actually require very short turf. Wasps were hit badly by the despicable summer of 2012. They have not really recovered. We usually get wasps nesting on this bank and i can vouch there are no nests here in all this year. None. Surely that is good . They are an important part of the food chain. They are really quite good at controlling a lot of pests and nasty little insect like greenfly. One of the things that should be properly hibernating are caterpillars. When you get a mild month like this they are not hibernating properly. They are out and about. Thats not good for them because they burn off their energy. As ever there were Wildlife Winners in 2016. Helped in part by wind direction. It has been a fantastic year for migrant birds. A strong wind from the east, that helps a lot of migrating birds. Yes. We had over 200 goldcrest arrived on the Farne Islands one day. From slugs Point Of View, an excellent year. From the Point Of View of gardeners it was disastrous. You keep getting mild winters and we keep getting short spells of good weather. We have not had a good summer since 2006. We are overdue. And here they have been mowing the lawn here far longer than they normally would do because the Growing Season seems to be getting longer. Good news for tree seeds as well and also apples have had a very good year this year. Many orchards and Cider Producers say they have had a bumper crop. But, yes, there are downsides as well. Insects that are downsides as well. Insects that are reliant on short turf in many places, that grasses grown readily and it has had an impact on them. We will have to see what happens. Will we have another mild winter . That is the trend and we will find out as the trend and we will find out as the new year approaches. It is like a worry in a magic would today. It is getting light but it is still dark there. It gets light little bit later, probably, than where you are. It did look beautiful. What will we talk about now . Stores and bargains . Were not talking about sales, however. This is all year round. Everybody hunting for a bargain often. Shopping around. In the stores that have seen a big increase this year are the likes of poundworld, 99p stores, poundstretcher, b m and Home Bargains spending at Bargain Stores totalled £a. 9 billion in the year tojuly, up 17 from the previous year. The stores have had a big rise in first time visitors more than 2. 2 million households shopping there for the first time. Almost a third of the increase in spending down to shoppers switching away from mainstream supermarkets and likes of boots, superdrug. Nearly four fifths of households in britain now buy from Bargain Stores that makes them more popular than the bigger german discount supermarket chains aldi and lidl, which are visited by three quarters of households. To try and figure out what was going oni to try and figure out what was going on i went along to one of the stores and spoke to the boston. Boss there are Once Upon A Time in the not so distant past we would have gone to a big supermarket for the weekly shop. Their market share has been eaten away. The shoppers continued to change. We have had the rise of the discounters and recently it has been the turn of the Bargain Store selling groceries like these at the same rate as places like waitrose. Its notjust the groceries in the kitchen that we purchase more. Homewares things like cushions and candles and plant pots and, of course, christmas decorations. Spending in these stores is up by almost 20 on last year, now totalling more than £5 billion. What has been driving the recent change . Ten years ago we were known for groceries and clearance goods. That is not the business today. Today it is far more about general merchandise. Housewares, diy, toys, christmas decoration, gardening. What is it about items you sell here that maybe you would not necessarily have seen ten years ago . The scale. We have 100 buyers travelling around the world going to the very best factories, looking for a particular product. Having done so, we get the volume, bring them in and we have a different mindset of competition. So that is how they sell what is on offer. But what sort of shoppers are heading in store . This is about democratising shopping. Everyone across the country we shop here, because we all want a bargain and we are not prepared to pay more than we have to for things we buy every day. How do you decide where to shop . It depends on which area you are in because if you are in this area you pick certain things up here. And then we will come here for another thing. What sort of Price Pressures do you have . Everything you see here in soft furnishings is made overseas and there are Price Pressures because of the weakness of sterling. In our favour, however, our business is growing at 20 a year. By reinvesting the benefits of that increased volume, wherever it is managed, we can keep prices steady. The price set to rise next year and the competition for retailer will only get hotter. The big four supermarkets will use their power and the march of the discounters will continue. With four out of every five people now shopping at a discount, the days of putting all their baubles in one basket are now long gone. Shopping yesterday, is that for next year . Were you getting an early . Some people do that. If you really wa nt some people do that. If you really want a some people do that. If you really wanta bargain, some people do that. If you really want a bargain, you some people do that. If you really wanta bargain, you get your christmas stuff now. It does goes to show that all these stores, 2017 will be very competitive in all the supermarkets and discount and Bargain Stores. And you will need to go to more places if you want a bargain. It is not like the old days of going to one supermarket. bargain. It is not like the old days of going to one supermarket. If you wa nt of going to one supermarket. If you want the best price. You could probably do a doctorate in it, i reckon. You will need to be that much of an expert. The time now is 756. Still to come here this morning, as well get more gadgets connected to the internet we will have the top tips on keeping home safe from hackers. Good morning from bbc london news, im charley figgis.

You become lazy and drawn out with the daily grind of routine. Among men, almost 90 fall into the same category. Among the potentially devastating outcomes of this accumulation of health risks is diabetes. It has doubled in this age group in the last 20 years and already costs the nhs in england an estimated £1a billion per year. We are ageing as a population but too many of us are ageing with a number of chronic diseases. The reason why we are seeing these increases in chronic diseases, such as cancers, stroke and heart disease, is in a large part because of behaviours which are adopted during our a0 to 60 year old age period. For example, still smoking, or not getting enough physical activity, or perhaps drinking too much alcohol. The big impact, of course, is that this is going to put a huge burden on health services.

Well, we will find out in a few years time, once these negotiations go through, the idea of this, this Campaign Group want the uk to leave the European Union as quickly as possible, within a couple of years, they are going to business groups around europe saying, it is not good for you if you are, if we are having to tax you on anything you want to sell to us and vice versa, if we come to a trade deal where you are taxing us, that is not good for us. It would be a good idea if there was no tariffs either way, that is what we talk about when we have a free trade deal and that is what they want to see, tariffs as close to zero as possible. These business groups can only lobby their governments, and there is 27 countries around the European Union who would all need to agree on Something Like that. Also, they will have things that they want as part of this agreement as well, whenever that happens, Free Movement of people is a big one for those in the European Union. If we want no tariffs, it may have to be a compromise somewhere along the way.

It says theyre putting themselves at risk of diabetes, which already costs the nhs an estimated £1a billion a year. Researchers say obesity has gone up by 16 over the last two decades. Many who took part in the study didnt even recognise what a healthy body weight looked like. So public Health England wants people to take a health quiz, to try get people to change their bad habits. Joining us now in the studio is dr ellie cannon, and from our london newsroom is penny henderson who took the Online Health quiz and turned her life around. Good morning. Penny henderson took the Online Health quiz, very bravely, you are going public with what you have learned along the way would you lie to give us a quick snapshot of before and after, what we re snapshot of before and after, what were you doing, what have you change . Before, slowly crept up on me how much i was drinking tom and not really exercising. And i think it happened very slowly, over the years. When i took the test, i was not that honest. I kind of light, even though i knew it was only to myself that was going to be looking at the results. I think ijust did not say exactly how much i was drinking. How much i was drinking, and not really exercising. That was a wake up call because i realised if i am lying to myself, it must be bad. I took the test, and even though i lied, it said i needed to look at my exercise and my alcohol intake. That was a real wake up call. As a result of that, i looked at the recommendations, and downloaded the couch to five k, and that was a running app, which gets you off the couch slowly, walking and running, and get you back into fitness, and it was incredible, the results were just huge, for what a small change in my life. Couch to 5k. What were the results, what changes could you physically feel . After i started running, i then started eating properly, because i had more nutritious foods, for breakfast, so that i could, you know, do a proper run, so as a result of starting to eat better, i also cut down on the alcohol, i cut it out altogether during the week and gave it to myself as a prize at the weekend, if i did well during the weekend, if i did well during the week. As a result, my whole life style the week. As a result, my whole lifestyle became more energetic, i had more time for things, it was an excuse before that i did not have time, it was once you begin making room for exercise you find you have more time. And i became less stressed, i could cope with work better, i was not as tired, and family life as well, it was more pleasant. Listening to you, in the studio with us, doctor ellie, a lot of people will be nodding along recognising the before or after version, why is it that this age group is not hearing, because there had been plenty of messages. I think we know people between the ages of a0 to 60 are incredibly busy with work and family life, often a Sandwich Generation of people caught with looking after family. Tasty treats are just an arms length away. I think public Health England recognises that and wants to give easy ways to change that. What penny says there, she almost didnt recognise it was happening, maybe it just slowly crept up on her that she wasnt doing any exercise and i think we should both come clear and say weve done the quiz this morning, havent we charlie . I will confess in front of you all, i dont think i was that honest so ive come out of it really good but i think ive probably made myself sound better than i am. Digi give yourself a score out of ten . |j sound better than i am. Digi give yourself a score out of ten . I think there are lots of aspects to being healthy and this time of year we concentrate on exercise or alcohol or quitting smoking, but what public Health England found is that you if you look at the nhs choices website, two of the most commonly searched aspects are how can i sleep better and how can i deal with stress . Better and how can i deal with stress . Those two things are also included in the quiz and they are steps you can take to improve your health. There are lots of different ways you can look at health, penny spoke well about looking at the drinks tracker and the alcohol or the exercise. For other people it will be the food all the stress. This is about making small changes that can have this really big improvement for your long term health. We are in that curious time of year, a lot of people will have overindulged and actually may be enjoyed it, and there is a danger sometimes they think, these people are coming in, telling me not to do this or that. Are coming in, telling me not to do this or that. The campaign was launched in march 2006 the and 1 Million People have already taken the quiz. A quarter of a Million People downloaded the running. People want this, they want the help. The signposting is very good. Its not encouraging people to take on board anything expensive or complicated. I think its very doable and i think people want the change, they want the help. Penny, what is next for you. Will you be able to maintain this or have you got your site 5 debt on longer runs . Yeah, each time i try and run a bit further or faster. The point is that it is achievable and you dont have to keep up the long runs, you can keep up short runs as well. The thing is to keep it always achievable and then you can keep it up. Thank you very much for your time this morning, penny. Do you know what we do this time in the morning, doctor sally . We sit here on the sofa for three hours thats like being a gp actually, you sit for hours at a time. You have to keep standing up. A cardiologist once said to me you should exercise for as many units as you do live television. Or whatever, for as many units as you do live television. Orwhatever, if you for as many units as you do live television. Or whatever, if you have a job thats busy. Good luck with that you can join me if you like lovely 18 minutes past eight is the time now and youre watching brea kfast time now and youre watching breakfast from bbc news.

Carol, what have you got for us . Some frost around and also some fog. A cold start, temperatures in somerset close to freezing. For many of us, we are looking at frosty start, temperatures have fallen across parts of england and wales and locally to 6 and also some fog, patchy fog. Those David Willetts into low cloud but there will be areas where it will be stubborn. Southern england and wales, Northern Ireland, Northern England, we will see some sunshine. Into the afternoon through the northwest, more cloud around and spots of rain or some showers. Nothing substantial. Coming across most of england, watch out for that fog as it lived into low cloud, it will be fairly grey. Across southern countries especially close to the coast we will see some sunshine. Pleasa nt coast we will see some sunshine. Pleasant for the time of year in south england. In wales too and in the west we will see some sunshine. There will be some cloud floating around the rest of wales. Northern ireland youve got that mixture of bright and sunny spells. The frost will return and we will see some fog forming. Some of it will be freezing fog. Patchy fog across Northern Ireland. Look at those temperatures, its going to be a cold night tomorrow. Tomorrow very similar to today, any fog that forms will be slow to lift. Some of its sticking and impacting on the temperature. We will see some sunshine particularly heading down towards the south west, parts of wales and Northern Ireland and parts of north east england and northern scotland. That front will be making inroads across the Outer Hebrides and you can see how much milder it is as a result. During friday that slips a little bit further south. For the rest of england and wales, a few showers in the west, largely dry but any fog once again that has formed overnight across central southern england could be slow to clear. That leads us into new years eve or hogmanay, depending on where you are. It looks like weve got a Weather Front staggering slowly southwards taking windier weather with it. This chart finishes at three b. Further south, drier and milder, milder across the board actually. Drier and milder, milder across the boa rd actually. By midnight, we think this front will be across Northern England, but that could well change. If youve got any late night celebrations, keep up to date with the forecast. Behind that, colder air pulls in and we will see a return to some wintry showers in the north. Over the next few days we will keep you up to date with what is happening around the midnight hour as well. Studio very important, thats what we need to know. Thank you very much.

The time now is 8 37am. As we have been hearing this morning from carol, todays whether expected to be mostly foggy and cold but the majority of us are yet to see the bitter temperatures you might expect this time of year. In fact, this winter has been pretty mouth so far, which has had a huge impact on the uks wildlife. Lets find out more from breakfasts tim muffett, whos at tyntesfield National Trust estate, near bristol, for us this morning. Inaudible temperatures generally have been pretty mild. Hopefully you can hear what im saying right now, if you technical issues, but as we have been hearing, the impact weather has had on wildlife is something the National Trust assess every year, and what impact has it been having this year . I have finding out. This year beef farmer rob havard made a while the sun shone. And was the rain came. And still his grass grows. We have seen a really good grass growth rate throughout the season. There was a lot of grass on the ground at the moment, and we are in end of december now, still grazing outside, so every day i can keep my cattle out of the shed. I think it is better for them. So why the rampant grass growth . Well, a mild, wet winter was followed by a cold spring, and then became more mild wet weather in may and june. Ideal conditions in which grass can grow. The rate of grass growth was in many places a third faster than normal, according to the agriculture and horticulture at the element board. Conservationists are assessing the impact. Excessive grass growth, why should anyone care about that . A lot of our rarer plants and animals, particularly the insects, live here in very short turf. If it gets covered over by these coarse grasses, populations of those rare insects plummet. And that has been an issue in 2016 . Threw yes, definitely. Matthew dixon has been assess inbee whethers impact on wildlife that ten years. The losers have been butterflies, bese, butterflies. Now wasps got it very badly by the despicable summer of 2012 and have not really recovered. We usually get a lot of wasps nesting on this huge grassland bank, and we had no wasp nests at all this year, none. Surely that is a good thing, people hate wasps. They are actually really important parts of the food chain. They are really quite good at controlling a lot of tests and nasty little insectlike blackfly and greenfly. One of the things that should be properly hibernating, butterflies and moths, when you get a mild month, they are not hibernating properly, they are out and about, which is not good for them because they burn off that energy. As ever, there were Wildlife Winners in 2016, helped in part by wind direction. It has been a fantastic day for migrant birds. Strong winds from the east, that helps. Yes, we had over 200 goldcrest arrived one day. From a slugs Point Of View, it was an excellent year. From a Gardens Point of view, it was disastrous. We keep getting these mild, wet winters and we keep getting short spells of good weather. We have not had a good summersince good weather. We have not had a good summer since 2006. We are overdue for it. Here they have been mowing the lawn is full they should have been, its under control here but as you saw in the report, that excessive grass growth has had a real impact in other places. A good year for apples, many side mane many factories say they have seen a bumper crop but its that longer term picture which has lots of people interested, can these mild winters continue over the next ten yea rs . Winters continue over the next ten years . Pretty cold this morning, a picture of things to come . We will have to wait and see. What have you got for us . Its a cold and foggy start the day. You can see in sidcup, foggy start, in nottinghamshire, a frosty start, clearer skies. This money, we do have some rocky patches, most of those in england and wales, some cloud will be stubborn to lift, well get temperature is not really breaking freezing. At the other end of the country, thicker cloud in north west scotland, but some breaks in the cloud with some sunshine coming through. Northern england, some sunshine, as we sink southwards, mixed fortunes. Where the forklift, it would be great but in southern counties, some sunshine, particularly so close to the coast. For south west england, some sunshine and also across wales, especially in the west. If you are stepping up for a walk, but the time of year, it will feel pleasant enough but you will need to wrap up warm. For Northern Ireland, variable amounts of cloud and also some sunshine. Through the evening and overnight, itll turn frosty code quickly and we will see a return to some fog, especially across england and wales, some of which will be dense. We will hang onto the breeze and thicker cloud across the north west with the rain starting to come in to the Outer Hebrides. The frog, slow to clear, lingering for some, breaking across southern counties, heading towards consensus, and the parts of wales, some sunshine. Parts of north east scotland, a band of rain slowly advancing. Look at the different temperatures. As we head into friday, the front sinks further south, we will see some rain in Northern England, Northern Ireland, but here it is milder. Any book could be slow to clear for central and southern england and they will be more cloud around, one or two showers in the west but some breaks as well, not as mild as across scotla nd as well, not as mild as across scotland and Northern Ireland and Northern England. The new years eve, this could all change, but we think at the moment over the front will sink southwards, this chart stops at three in the afternoon, i midnight, and current thinking, we think that front will be sitting across Northern England and north wales, that could change, further south we are looking at trier and milder conditions. By the time we get the new years day, that whips down into the south east, eventually clearing, colder air streams in behind it and some of the showers we have will be wintry. I will keep you up to date with the latest thinking. Thanks very much we the classic english whodunnit, starring a crime solving ability priest might not sound like it would have mass appeal in the us but it turns out the americans are big fans of father brown, now in its fifth series. Mark plays the title role. Good morning would you say, it is a career space of lovely, watchable tele . Career space of lovely, watchable tele . Its good storytelling, thats what its about. Also, the scandinavians, russians love it as well. The scandinavians like the dark gloom, what they want is a bit of cotswolds. Look at your character, clutching something there. When do you feel like you are in character, is it when you put on the robes or the hat . |j in character, is it when you put on the robes or the hat . I remember the moment was when we did the original costu me moment was when we did the original costume treating, at the ecclesiastical outfitters in westminster. With giles, the original costume designer. I put it all on and thought, that will do suddenly you feel like you are father brown. Its not an easy costu m e to father brown. Its not an easy costume to wear, i imagine. You have two zone out a bit because we film in the summer. A couple of seasons ago, i was wearing the hat, the road, the trousers, the shirt underneath and a coat. On the hottest day of the year. All the crew were wearing flip flops. They we re crew were wearing flip flops. They were slapping on actor 50. He is not strictly speaking a detective. He is a sleuth he has that ability to hover around situations and listening, watching people closely. Yes, he is nosy. Chesterton said that he would interested in things that he would interested in things that other people didnt find important, which is kind of the route he finds room. How did you start with this . Is it Something Like 60 episodes now . Yes, in five yea rs, like 60 episodes now . Yes, in five years, which is kind of American Standard when you first heard about it, did you think, this is the sort of thing i should be doing . Or was ita of thing i should be doing . Or was it a bit like a change of direction for you . I was offered the part, which is always a really seductive way of changing direction when we were doing publicity for harry potter in new york, i asked the producer, the presiding genius apart from joe, i said, did you ever think you have made this many films . And he said, no. I imagine, for so many people, being in a film like that which turned into something huge, its not just which turned into something huge, its notjust a film, is it . Its life changing. Well, i think its much more collaborative than you think. And you are in a tribe. Once you join the tribe, once you have been initiated, then you are there. So you kind of travel together. You are never on your own. Life changes for you, i suppose. Are never on your own. Life changes foryou, isuppose. Is are never on your own. Life changes for you, i suppose. Is there a moment when you think it changes, or does it happen gradually . Ive never felt that. Except when i thought, i think i can be an actor that was about it, really . Lovely to see you. Father brown is on bbc one next monday. One of a kind. Brilliant, original. Funny and emotionally fearless, the words of Harrison Ford to describe Carrie Fisher after her death at the age of 60. Its just one of many tributes from the actresss friends and colleagues. Our entertainment correspondent Colin Paterson is here and we can also speak to Warwick Davis, who appeared alongside Carrie Fisher as the ewok, wicket, in the return of thejedi. Warwick, if i can come to you first of all, i guess you have known Carrie Fisher almost all of your life now. Thats right. I first met carrie when i was 11 years old, working on return of thejedi. On initially meeting carrie, i did not seek Carrie Fisher, i saw Princess Leia. As i got to know her more and more i got to understand what a kind and fun person she was to be around. She really guided me through the making of that film, because i was new to the business, i didnt understand anything about how you make movies, and carrie was an integral part of me understanding the business and how to behave onset and all that sort of thing. She was also very concerned for me being in also very concerned for me being in a hot e book costume and was standing by with chocolate milk and cookies to revive me. In a hot ewok costume. She like to be with . She was great fun. You become part of the star wars family when you work on a Star Wars Movie and i was often part of that, i would often see her at first jackets often part of that, i would often see her at firstjackets and also at live star wars events. I used to host Star Wars Television events and recently interviewed carrie in london on stage in front of a000 people, and she was just fantastic, very, very sharp. And alsojust relayed Great Stories about star wars, very frank stories about being on those movies, which the fans loved. You felt like you really knew Carrie Fisher, the person behind Princess Leia. What is emerging today as you hear peoples tributes, real affection, and people saying how funny she was. Allanbridge and was talking about her writing. That isa was talking about her writing. That is a part alan ewok talking about her writing. You dont always see the very funny, the very warm person. Someone very unaffected by the fame. She was hugely recognised wherever she went but at the same time she was a very unaffected person by that fame. She did have Mental Health issues and what have you but she was a very down to earth person, she had no airs and graces. I never saw her wanting to be treated like a celebrity. She was Carrie Fisher, and what was lovely is that she went with her dog, gary, everywhere. The shared the stage with carrie whenever i interviewed her. Warwick was talking about what a character she was weird seeing some of those pictures, the dog in hand. There was a lot going on, wasnt there . She had a colourful life. She managed managed to get gary the French Bulldog certified as a therapy dog so that you could ever so a therapy dog so that you could ever so she could always take him with heron so she could always take him with her on planes. She would arrive at a premiere just have a handful of glitter and corrupt to the fans and blew the glitter into them, and that just make someones day or week if they start the Something Like that to you. And alongside that, a real gift and talent for writing, and for impact on other people, other actors as well. Warwick was touching on it, in1990, her as well. Warwick was touching on it, in 1990, her semiautobiographical novel postcards from the edge was adapted into a novel, and she wrote was adapted into a novel, and she wrote was adapted into a movie starring meryl streep, and she wrote the screenplay for that. She became one of the 19905 most successful script doctors. They come in and make films better towards the end. Steven spielberg got her intimate look better. Whoopi goldberg, sister act. Carrie fishers words in that. She wrote renny roussos dialogue for Lethal Weapon three, she even had a go Lethal Weapon three, she even had a go at making our watchword is mega funny in the last action hero. there was anyone who could do that, iimagine it there was anyone who could do that, i imagine it was Carrie Fisher. Warwick, one of the things we have seen warwick, one of the things we have seen this morning is Carrie Fishers one liner, and bits of general life advice, so to put you on the spot, but what is the best bit of advice or the best one liner you have ever heard from her. She didnt necessarily give me any advice, but one of my favourite memories of carrie was actually from the interview i did with her on stage more recently. I put a Storm Trooper helmet on my head, asked her to close her eyes, and i said when you open your eyes and look at me, so the first thing that comes to mind. I was looking for arent you a little short for a Storm Trooper, one of her most famous lines from star wars, at what she did say was those always a bigger fish, which was another line from the Star Wars Movie, wasnt something she said, but was brilliantly funny the time. So yes, that brings a smile to my face, that moment. Warwick davis, thank you very much forjoining us here this morning. And to you too. The time now is 8 56am. A last quick look at the headlines when you are this morning. Good morning from bbc london news, im charley figgis. Residents who say their lives have been turned upside down since a fire ripped through their west london tower block, are taking legal action. The blaze was caused by a faulty Whirlpool Tumble Dryer in august. The Home Appliance manufacturer says the safety of consumers is their number one priority but a lawyer representing those affected has concerns. A 17 year old boy has died, and another has life threatening injuries, after a crash in leigh on sea. The car they were in was being followed by a marked essex police car. The case has been referred to the independent Police Complaints commission. Firstly on the tubes the circle line is closed between aldgate and Gloucester Road via victoria. And on the district line. No service between Gloucester Road and acton town. Paddington station remains closed with no service on heathrow connect and heathrow express. Great western Railway Services will start and terminate at ealing broadway. On the roads as you can see there, Marylebone Road into town is down to one lane at baker street for roadworks. And the woolwich ferry has been suspended due to heavy fog. The fog is also affecting visibility at london city airport, causing delays to some flights. Fog and low cloud may linger across some areas, giving a card and dull day. That is it from me, goodbye. That is pretty much it from brea kfast that is pretty much it from breakfast this morning, we have been reflecting a bit on the life of Carrie Fisher this morning, really interesting hearing anecdotes and stories of affection from her collea g u es stories of affection from her colleagues and fellow stars. And she had some of the best one liners, she saidi had some of the best one liners, she said i dont think in my brain, i think in my mouth, so i dont like a just come straight out. Colin says when she was working the red carpet and speaking to her, she was dynamite in those situations. We will be back tomorrow morning from 6am when we will be joined by the actor and comedian, diane morgan. From now, from everyone here, have a lovely day, goodbye
