As well as a giant snowdrop, we have springlike temperatures in the next few days but it comes with a lot of cloud. The best of the sunshine is in the east. More details little bit later. Thank you, darren. Good morning. First, our main story. Thousands of Prison Officers in london and South East England are getting an immediate pay increase of between three and Five Thousand pounds. Ministers have made the decision to try to boost recruitment and retain Staff Numbers in the face of increasing violence. But the Prison Officers Association says its a divisive quick fix and specialist and more experienced staff wont benefit. Our Home Affairs Correspondent tom symonds reports. They are on the front line of the troubled prison service. Their numbers have been falling in recent years. And now the government is putting in place a £12 million pay offer to keep them in theirjobs and to attract new people. But only officers in 31 prisons in london and the south east, including this one, wandsworth, will benefit. They are the jails under the most pressure, struggling to maintain staff. The offer is for standard grade three Prison Officers, not more Senior Supervisors or specialists. Each will receive at least £3000. The pay package for new recruits will be boosted by £5,000 to attract them into the job. But the Prison Officers Association believes that this offer will not satisfy members its members. Were going to welcome additional money for our members, of course we are. But we do not think this goes far enough to solving far enough to solving the prison crisis. We believe it needs to be a national issue. We were not properly consulted on this either. We believe if the Secretary Of State wants to make these arbitrary decisions on pay, she should consult us fully and we can point out the inconsistencies and problems that will arise as a result of this policy. The government is also increasing training, vital if it is to deal with the growing modern threats to order behind bars, Mental Health issues, along with what ministers describe as drugs, drones and Mobile Phones. The iraqi Prime Minister says an operation has begun to retake the western part of the city of mosul from Islamic State militants. Its the last major is stronghold in iraq. Government forces started their offensive in october and last month secured the eastern part of the city after weeks of fierce fighting. The United Nations has urged all parties in the conflict to do everything they can to ensure the safety of hundreds of thousands of civilians trapped in the area. Our correspondent Quentin Somerville is with the iraqi troops who are preparing to do battle in the narrow streets of Western Mosul. In the distance, american aircraft have been launching air strikes against the outskirts of Western Mosul. Large booms have been sounding all morning and around me are tanks and armoured vehicles of iraqs Emergency Response division. Special forces who are getting ready to move in front of me and begin the assault on Western Mosul. The last remaining city here in iraq that is still in the hands of the so called Islamic State. These men are not expecting an easy day of it as this battle begins. They know from Drone Footage that Islamic State is deeply embedded. They have dug tunnels into the surrounding villages that lie just before Western Mosuls outskirts and before the citys airports. They are also expecting to face suicide car bombs. As you can perhaps hear behind me, the men are in an ebullient mood just as this battle gets under way. That was quentin sommerville, whos embedded with the iraqi troops who are preparing to do battle in Western Mosul. You can follow a link to quintin live tweeting if you go to the bbc news home page. President trump has made a robust defence of his first in office and insisted that a new spirit of optimism is sweeping the us. Speaking to supporters at an Airport Hanger in florida, he repeated his Campaign Pledges to create jobs and improve the nations security. Mr trump again turned his fire on the media, accusing it of being dishonest about his administration. Our correspondent, laura bicker, reports from florida. If you thought the president ial campaign was over, then you would be wrong. Afterjust four weeks in office, President Trump is bidding forfour more years. The first lady also made a rare appearance, starting her remarks with the lords prayer. Our father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, they will be done. But there is more to this rally. Donald trump is trying to change the subject, after headlines of chaos and controversy in his administration. He is back where he appears to be more comfortable, behind a Campaign Podium rather than a desk in the oval office. I am here because i want to be among my friends and among the people. He enjoys an audience and takes heart from his fans. One even made it on stage after waiting since the early morning. When President Trump promised all these things that he was going to do for us, i knew he was going to do this for us. He also had tough words for some of his alleged foes the media. He has a new term for them the enemy. These supporters are his people and this is his message. A chance to appraise his first month in office, one he sees as a success. Make America Great again. That is what it is. He has kind of been up and down. I kind of feel like he is not 100 doing good but i want to give him more time. January 20th, 2017 our presidency died. In new york, protesters held a fake funeral for the presidency. The political ideals of america seem further apart than ever. This rally will be hugely popular with his voting base but it will not help him in washington. If President Trump is to push through his campaign promises, he might need to take his message to capitol hill rather than an adoring crowd. The biggest storm to hit california for several years has left at least four people dead and 150,000 homes without power. Jang singles appeared on some roads. This fire crew managed to get out of the engine before it was swallowed. That happened on a main waterway from los angeles to las vegas. You might remember this one from yesterday. Another sinkhole in studio city. A woman was rescued from the roof of her car. That car had already fallen ina her car. That car had already fallen in a hole and seconds later, another empty vehicle was swallowed up by the same hole. The boss of sainsburys has joined the growing row over the Re Evaluation of Business Rates the commercial version of council tax. The supermarkets chief executive, mike coupe, says changes being introduced to reflect the value of property could leave high streets facing serious challenges and closures, while Internet Operations could see their bills cut. Simonjones reports. Big changes ahead for businesses. For the first time in seven years, rates are being updated in april, in line with property values. With prices rising strongly in the south east, but falling sharply in less prosperous regions, there will be some dramatic differences, some businesses seeing increases of 400 . Sainsburys will see its bill rise to around £500 million, up from £483 million, while analysts predict internet giant amazon will have its Business Rate Bill Cut at the majority of its out of town warehouses. The boss of sainsburys, mike coupe, isnt happy. Mike coupe says businesses like his one, with lots of property and employees, face a bigger burden than online only retailers. He is calling for a fundamental reform of the system, which he describes as archaic. What is needed, he says, is a level playing field, to reflect the changing retail landscape. Business rates affect 1. 85 Million Properties in england alone. They are set to raise £23. 5 billion for the treasury this year. The government says 920,000 businesses will see their bills go down. 420,000 will stay the same. But, to make the sums add up, more than 500,000 will see bills go up. Rates in scotland and wales are being reassessed. Northern ireland wont get an overhaul for another few years. In england, the government says the changes will be phased in, and more will benefit than lose out. The rspca has begun an investigation after as many as 1800 dale checks we re after as many as 1800 dale checks were found dumped in a field in south lincolnshire. The charity was alerted after members of the public spotted the chicks near crowland. Birds cheep. You can hear the noise that they made. Hundreds of them, as you can see. People in the area helped round the birds up into boxes, and a breeder collected the survivors. It is not yet known who abandoned the chicks. Increased levels of violence, low staff morale and a dangerous shortage of Front Line Officers. A picture of prisons in england and wales over the past few months. This morning, to attract new recruits and stop existing staff leaving, the government has announced a pay rise. But the extra money is only on offer to Prison Officers in london and the South East Of England, a move that the Prison Officers Association believes will cause divisions within the profession. Frances crook, from the Howard League for penal reform, joins us now from london. Good morning. Ifi good morning. If i was working in the prisons north of london and i wasnt getting a £5,000 pay rise like my colleagues in london and the south east, i think i would be pretty cheesed off. Yes. But the real problem with recruitment and retention is in the south east where living costs are much higher. The U Nfortu Nate Living costs are much higher. The unfortunate thing is the government did not do this with consultation with staff and the union. However, it isa with staff and the union. However, it is a very good thing to reward prison staff appropriately. It is a very complicated job, dealing with very complicated job, dealing with very Difficult People in challenging circumstances. It is right that prison staff are paid properly to recruit and retain staff. They deserve the money they get but it is not true to say they have a Retention Problem just in london and the south east. I was reading a story about evesham today. In last 18 months, 50 of the staff they left. It is a problem across the country. White is the pi is not across the country . Dont ask me, ask the mo] it is not my fault. It is not just a ask the mo] it is not my fault. It is notjust a question of pay, but training and support. I welcome the fa ct training and support. I welcome the fact the government is announcing extra training for staff. But it is still mere few weeks. If you look at the training that other staff in other jurisdictions across the training that other staff in otherjurisdictions across europe get, norway, for example, it leads toa get, norway, for example, it leads to a full occasional degree. Vocational degree. Theres prison staff do a difficultjob and need to be properly supported and trained properly. And recognise that it is a bit good job they do. But this is still only half the problem. It will not solve the problem in prisons. The issue is that there are simply too many people in prison. It is grossly overcrowded. I was in a busy london prison a couple of days ago, which is almost double the overcrowded. The people were crammed into victorian cells with a toilet, often for hours and hours and hours, days and days with very little to do. You cannot expect prisoners to behave well if they are treated so incredibly badly. 35,000 more prisons and jails than 20 years ago. Absolutely. The bbc will put some of the tough questions to liz truss later. She is on the Andrew Marr Programme after us. On the Andrew Marr Programme after us. You can watch that. Generally, is she doing a good job at the schiavo grip of the problem . Shes utterly new. She has money from the treasury, so there are good moves coming from the ministry ofjustice. My coming from the ministry ofjustice. My disappointment is that they are not dealing with the overuse of prison. It is Sentence Inflation where we have more people serving indeterminate, open ended sentences when they do not know when it will end. It is more than the whole of europe added together. We are sending to people to prison for long periods of time without hope. People without hope difficult to manage. One of the problems, and it is often underreported and Prison Officers dont like it, but some Prison Officers are Smuggling Things into jails. There are drugs and Mobile Phones going into prisons. That is perhaps why Training Needs to be there, and also the money. Absolutely. If people are paid better, they are trained better. That should combat the corruption in prisons. But they also need proper management. It is notjust Front Line Officers at work at after yea rs Front Line Officers at work at after years ago. If you are front line officer managing 60 or 100 people in prison, you need someone behind you. You need advice and support and managers. It is very complex to managers. It is very complex to manage a prison. More money for Front Line Officers is good but it is only one step. There are much more fundamental problems to be dealt with them solved in the prisons. We are grateful for your time this morning. Thank you. We have talked about the weather getting a little bit warmer, but it is becoming feisty as well, isnt it . That is a good word. I like that. We will have windy weather the next few days. It is not necessarily the day for sitting outdoors. Other week for sitting outdoors. There will be rain as well around. What a lovely sunrise and milk in milton keynes. For all of us, sunrise and milk in milton keynes. Forall of us, it sunrise and milk in milton keynes. For all of us, it will be a mild day as it was yesterday. We will find some sunshine breaking out in the eastern uk. Cloud thickening and loading in some parts. Drizzle in west wales and the farce of western and good. Fog lifting in the south east. Temperatures listing as well.

East england and scotla nd so well as well. East england and scotland seeing sunshine but not huge amounts. Quite a lot of cloud coming in. It is still a huge amounts. Quite a lot of cloud coming in. It is stilla mild huge amounts. Quite a lot of cloud coming in. It is still a mild day, temperatures of 11 and 12 celsius. 11 celsius in london for the football. There could be some shocks again an fa cup fifth road. Temperatures lower in blackburn. There could be drizzle around as well. We have rain coming into scotla nd well.

More hill fog, despite the freshening wind. Mild and i, temperatures not falling much at all. Very mild ear coming into the uk from a long way south. We will not get any tropical sunshine but higher temperatures will come through. Gusty winds in Eastern Scotland and eastern pennines. Band of Rain Tomorrow living south away from scotland and Northern Ireland, into england and wales. Behind that, sunshine, temperatures dropping. In Southern Parts of the uk, we have very mild ear on monday and if we do get some sunshine, locally temperatures could be 16 or 17 celsius. Thatll be the peak of the temperature over the weekend. Back to you. We will make the most of it when it comes. Thank you very much. Yesterday, we told you about the gold art works being hidden around scunthorpe as part of a project to celebrate the towns history. Well, just hours after the Treasure Hunt started, the first piece was found. Are we claiming credit for that . I dont think so a Golden Viking Brooch was discovered by accident by a woman visiting from grimsby. Somebody had solved a clue and got the to pick up the treasure, but she was there. You will find out more from that story. The artist behind the idea said hes delighted the first items been found well be speaking to him in a minute. First though, heres the unwitting Treasure Hunter, rachel welch. We had a look at them but we did spend much time with them because we are not good at code. We just thought we would go and have a little late round and hopefully we could find one and we did. It was just ina could find one and we did. It was just in a wall, hidden in a little Hole In The Wall and we had a look and there was. A little black bag and opened the bag and it was the treasure. She was looking for that but she had not cracked the code. The artist behind the project joins us now from bristol study. We area joins us now from bristol study. We are a roll here. The first one has been found. It is generating great excitement in scu nthorpe. Been found. It is generating great excitement in scunthorpe. It has been amazing. People calling themselves professional Treasure Hunters have travelled from down the country to come and visit the show. People from far and wide. Families coming to the art centre for the first time, and they have never been before. It is related to bring in new audiences. Is it frustrating that the first piece was found without reference to god in the painting, which is part of the project itself . It was slightly frustrating for the guy who was from mensa. He had cracked the code. He was a scout leader. The code was about semaphore. He decoded the arrows and ran off to find the treasure. He was literally 30 seconds delayed. Tour the tour. There are five pieces hidden around the region. They are proper gold and worse something . They have been independently valued at £2500 each. They were described by our Arts Correspondent as looking like tiny monopoly pcs. As you can see. You would not play monopoly with ease. At least not in my house where did the idea for the little pieces come from . We have taken five objects from . We have taken five objects from the museum that represent the area. We have a fighting brooch, roman ram, a small steel train from scunthorpe, because the Steel Industry is so important to the area. We 3 d scan them and made replicas in solid gold. The in the region for the public to find. Not to blow the close, but are there some sneaky places youre really proud of . Bnr, yeah. There are, yeah. We had a provisional Treasure Hunter staring at this painting for three hours and all was was a served. He said, iam really hours and all was was a served. He said, i am really stuck. Hours and all was was a served. He said, iam really stuck. I hours and all was was a served. He said, i am really stuck. I said, hours and all was was a served. He said, iam really stuck. Isaid, can you just read that word there . Oh, my you just read that word there . Oh, d you just read that word there . Oh, my god do you think another one is close to being found . My god do you think another one is close to being found . |j my god do you think another one is close to being found . I should thought so. It might be that the final painting may remain unresolved for many years to come. The people who find the gold get to say whether related 18 will be the naked. That related painting will be donated. But one of them is very complicated, so this could go on for weeks and months . I hope so. It is a nice project. Thank you for your time. You are watching bbc breakfast. Tim frolic it is time for a look at the newspapers. Tech expert Dan Sodergren is here to tell us whats caught his eye. Would you want to start . I want to start with universal income, people trying to get out in different parts of the world. Because of the rise of tec and the rise of automation and other things, that we might sooner rather than later live in a world where we might not all after work. I released the idea of having a safety net in Case Technology and other things do take over too many peoples jobs. Technology and other things do take over too many peoplesjobs. The safety net for humanity. I love the idea of universal basic income. The obvious problem is, what is the incentive to work if you know that youre a basic income . That is a deep question. Why do we work . Purely through fear or because you wa nt to purely through fear or because you want to sell factual and do something positive . Did you become a presenter because youre forced to because you love what you do . I love what i do. We are perhaps in a privileged position. People dojobs absolutely because they need to make money to pay the bills. They are not jobs they would choose to do. This is the point of automation. What would happen if thosejobs is the point of automation. What would happen if those jobs were taken out of the market because actually robots and others could do things for you . If that is the case, those people doing those jobs, surely they should have a safety net with universal income. This picture, what is the story of the woman in finland . 2000 people in finland, they are trying this out in finland with 2000 people and this woman doesnt have to go to work. But she is producing. She is producing and working because you get bored not working. She is actually producing. That is the fundamental question. Should we be forced to work and can Technology Save us . Technology is a thing this morning. The stocks of the potential Health Impact of co nsta ntly the potential Health Impact of constantly being surrendered by work. This is the other side of it. With this always on culture we have created because of technology. Actually, that might be more of a problem. They are saying it is more dangerous than cigarettes and that sort of thing, which i would question a little bit. The fact youre always on means you are more stressed. People are more stressed at home when they get home for the two hours and put the kids to bed. That is their peak stress level. It is adding to the stress of life. They are saying it is affecting us more delay than people might think. Sleeping is so important for our General Health as well. Absolutely. I have been going through the Back Catalogue of Fleetwood Mac and last few weeks, just like you know. It leads into the story. Brilliant. This is the idea that the normal streaming that happens, it is a clear, what they have realised with music is that were going to the Nostalgia Side of things. Were downloading and streaming Back Catalogues of things. Of course, any record store could have this huge catalogue. But were streaming, they are finding most people want to strea m are finding most people want to stream the old stuff, not the new stuff. It gives a new impetus for the music industry. It is not necessarily about making new stuff, it is like getting people like yourselves downloading the older stuff. Mariah carey gets into the top ten every christmas, doesnt she . The charts are based on streaming as well as sales. So many people streaming all i want for christmas. You can live stream insta ntly, christmas. You can live stream instantly, do it on your phone. It is interesting from a music point of view. Not unlike christians face at the end of the lincoln and burnley game yesterday. This is grumpy cat. This is a kind of interesting one. Coming from the internet and the world of the internet as i do, Grumpy Catare World of the internet as i do, grumpy cat are huge. It is a future norman on. Phenomenon. We could be hurting these cats through the breeding of them. I am not a cat person, but. Time for the last one . Someone has folded this like origami. This is about the shaking of hands. The size of shaking of hands. They are basically showing that from a Technology Point of view, it is interesting. They are bizarrely teaching robots had to shake hands better. If you have ever seen shake hands better. If you have ever seen donald trump with his powerful handshake. He has a grabbing thing, you know . If you need this thing, you know . If you need this thing, it is interesting. It says are thing, it is interesting. It says a re really thing, it is interesting. It says are really firm handshake, if you have that, youre much more likely to have been at billy at school. If you compare that with how donald trump shakes hands, it is fascinating. Thank you. My pleasure. Coming up in the next half hour. A warning to keep Food Recycling Bins away from pets, after a dog dies from eating mould left by discarded bread. Well speak to dexters owner just before nine. Stay with us the headlines coming up. Hello, this is breakfast with Christian Fraser and rachel burden. Coming up before nine, darren will have the weather. But first a summary of this mornings main news. Thousands of Prison Officers atjails in london and South East England are to receive a pay rise of between £3000 and £5000, in a new drive to boost staffing levels. But the Prison Officers Association but the Prison Officers Association says it is advisable. The iraqi Prime Minister says an operation has begun to retake the western part of the city of mosul from so called Islamic State militants. Its the last major is stronghold in iraq. Government forces started their offensive in october and last month secured the eastern part of the city after weeks of fierce fighting.

As you can perhaps youre behind me, the men are in an ebullient mood just as this battle gets under way. And we can go to live pictures from Al Athba Village just to the south of mosul as the Iraqi Forces Continue their offensive around mosul. It isa it is a phenomenally complex military operation. You can see the terrain is pretty inhospitable. Reporters there with the troops at the moment. He is tweeting from there and giving updates on the progress of this particular offence. If you want to find it you can go to bbc home page and follow events. President trump has made a robust defence of his first four weeks in office and insisted that a new spirit of optimism is sweeping the us. Speaking to supporters at an Airport Hanger in florida, he repeated his Campaign Pledges to create jobs and improve the nations security. Mr trump again turned his fire on the media, accusing the chief executive of sainsburys has joined the growing row over the Re Evaluation of Business Rates the commercial version of council tax.

The biggest storm to hit california for several years has left at least four people dead and around 150,000 homes without power. Giant sinkholes appeared in some roads a fire crew managed to get out of this engine before it was swallowed on the main motorway from los angeles to las vegas. This was another sinkhole in studio city where a woman was rescued from the roof of her car moments before a second empty vehicle was swallowed up. Fabulous coverage yesterday of the game between lincoln city and burnley. It was so exciting at the end. I think you will you love to admit, christian, being a bundle of fun, admit, christian, being a bundle of fun, being a fan of burnley. Fabulous effort from lincoln city. Im rooting for them now. They will now be looking at the draw. This evening it will be lincoln city waiting for their name to be drawn out of the bowl for the Quarter Fianls of the fa cup, it is the first time in over a century that a non league side has made it through to the last eight they beat burnley1 0 and they did it at the Premir League sides home. Premier. Tim hague watched the action. In a competition famous for its shocks, this result was one of the greatest in history, non League Lincoln city matching and beating a burnley side who drew with premier League Leaders chelsea last weekend. Raggett thought it was in it is in lincoln city take the lead, with a minute to go. I am lost for words right now. That was just mad. I cant believe it. This is a special group of boys, and unreal, unreal. I didnt really know what to do with the celebration. But a non league side into the quarterfinals, it is crazy. Crazy maybe, but true, nonetheless. 81 league places separated these guys, but lincoln followed up wins over ipswich and brighton in the previous rounds with a strong start at turf moor, and while the premier league team had their own openings, it would become an increasingly frustrating and edgy afternoons work for them. Just askjoey barton. Harassed all match, he was lucky not to be sent off. But it didnt matter for lincoln. They pushed to the end, and with headlines waiting to be written, sean raggett and company duly obliged. Not even five minutes of injury time could stop this fairytale from happening. Lincoln have made history. This is one of the great shocks of the competition. For a non league team to be in the last eight of the fa cup, and a game away from wembley, and two games away from the final, is unbelievable. People said to me, it may be a football miracle. I dont know. It is certainly a miracle when you consider no non league side had made it into the fa cup quarterfinals for 103 yea rs before yesterday. This quite some raggett to riches story. There was another upset later in the adternoon when League One Side, millwall beat the premier league champions, leicester city, 1 nil to secure their place in the quarterfinals. And that was despite millwall being reduced to ten men for much of the second half, Shaun Cummings scored the 90th minute winner to put the League One Side into the next round chamionship club. Huddersfield town held Manchester City to a goalless draw in front of a record crowd. The two sides will replay the game at the etihad a week on tuesday. League ones Oxford United recovered from two goals down against middlesbrough but ended up losing 3 2. Cristhian stuani scored four minutes from time to avoid a middlesbrough upset and to send them through to the last eight. Molineux had its biggest crowd for 36 years but goals from pedro and diego costa earned cheslea, the current premier League Leaders, a 2 nil win at championship side, wolverhampton wanderers. Todays fa cup games sees championship sides, hosting premier league opposition. Fulham entertain tottenham thats on bbc one at 2, while Blackburn Rovers welcome manchester united. And tomorrow Sutton United will try to emulate lincoln city to reach the last eight when they face arsenal. The National League side are in the fifth round for the first time. Celtic edged closer to winning the Scottish Premiership title with a 2 nil win over motherwell. They have restored their 27 point lead at the top of the table bottom side inverness shared a 1 1 draw with hearts. Carl tremarco put Cally Thistle ahead but Arnaud Djoums second half tap in earned hearts a point. There were wins elsewhere for partick and stjohnstone, exeter have strengthened their position in third place in rugby unions premiership after fighting back to beat worcester. Exeter were trailing at the break but five second half tries secured the bonus point win 118 32 the final score. Bath stay in fourth they overcame a battling harlequins side to come out on top by 22 points to 12. Quins outscored their hosts by two tries to one, but a try from Max Clark Plus some excellent kicking from Rhys Priestland ensured bath won. And leicester beat bristol 50 points to 17. Mo farah won the final race of his indoor career, taking the 5,000 metre title at the birmingham grand prix. Farah set a new european record winning injust over 13 minutes. He says hes going to focus on road racing after the World Championships in london this summer. I cant quite believe it is my last race but i have had a great career. It is weird thinking about saying goodbye because i have had great support from everyone and particularly the strike on which i have sent the black sets are many records. This track on which i have set so many records. Laura muir broke the british record taking the title in the womens 1000 metres. She beat the previous best held by kelly holmes. It was also the second fastest indoor 1,000 metres of all time. Warrington wolves have had the first win by an english club over australian opponents for five years. They beat Brisbane Broncos in the first match of rugby leagues world club series. Three tries in the opening twenty minutes, including this from Matty Russell did the early damage and they went on to win 27 points to 18, tonight its the turn of the Super League Champions Wigan Warriors to represent Great Britain against the best of the nrl. Wigan, who won the grand final back in october, face reigning australian champions cronulla sharks. Making it to the quarterfinal, you have to start thinking, it is massive. It is a bit different than the others, when you work all year to get this. This was more of a reward from last season, to get to the final and win last year. But it still means a massive amount to the players, and the club. The history of wigan, there has been a few wins in this competition. So if we can emulate that, it is a massive accomplishment. How much physical contact is acceptable between a pupil and a teacher . If students are upset, should teachers comfort them, or is any contact too much . According to the neurologist professor francis mcglone, educators who are too scared to even give children a reassuring pat on the shoulder are guilty of abuse. He joins us in the studio, along with Executive Headteacher of the education and leadership trust, patsy kane. This is quite a statement to make. If you were dealing with the teacher who was very cautious about potentially false allegations being made against them could unknown to them and say this is child abuse because youre not that you people . I think because youre not that you people . Ithink a because youre not that you people . I think a people . Pupil . |j i think a people . Pupil . think it is in a rational feel and touchis think it is in a rational feel and touch is very rewarding and reassuring for the child. Now you are loving in a society where it has been demonised and our research and others have shown that the nerves in the skin that have evolved to respond specifically to gentle touch and they play a profound role in the development of the brain so children who are not touchable up to be very stressed and anxious. The mechanism drives this response to gentle touch. It is not the kind of touch and feel when you are consciously touch. The system of nerves as more feeling and sensing. What is happening to the brain when those nerves and stability . The skin has a whole load of sensors that tell you bring about temperature and pain and touch. Those nerves transmit information that guide you in terms of what is happening. The populations of nerves that respond to gentle touch respond very slowly to gentle touch respond very slowly to stimulus. If you touch a hot plate and burn yourself, the first pin system will get you out of there quickly. Then when you know you have done that a couple of seconds later the emotional side of pain begins to hit you. We discovered the same syste m hit you. We discovered the same system for touch. Theres a first touch system that tells you you have been touched. Depending on the type of touch and the Context Feeling comes in. And that is what this population of nerve fibres does, respond specifically to gentle touch. If youre getting physical comfort from home from parents and giving grandparents on a daily basis doesnt matter if theyjust give you a pat on the Shoulder Mist i think sort of Context Reassurance as part of the interaction of the queue outside the role of the family. That is no harm in that. Research has shown that that gentle touch on the shoulder can have a dramatic effect in the way that shell behaves. It is a biological thing to do. All were saying is that as a mechanism it clearly indicates that kind of gentle touch is having a great impact on the behaviour of a child. That is a science direct, patsy. What do you tell your staff. We advise as far as possible not to touch with students but we do have a huge emphasis on creating a safe and inclusive and warm atmosphere is around school and in the classroom so around school and in the Classroom Soi around school and in the classroom so i totally agree students need to feel safe and need to feel pleasure and learning and they need to feel support if they find learning difficult. So there are lots of strategies to reduce in school to make students feel safe, happy and nurtured. I think the social context, and many students are highly aware that the physical space, and they would find even the touch give me quite intrusive and would feel quite uncomfortable and school if teachers started touching them. The Department For Education guidance schools should not have unknown policy. It is often decidable for teacher to touch a child at the same guidance says false allegations have been made against one in four school staff by our people and one in six have been made by the family of a pupil. Many teachers not prepared to take that risk any more. That is that context. Im not sure from your research if thatis im not sure from your research if that is a normal part of learning. If the child was sobbing in a corner of looking really distressed heart limping ina of looking really distressed heart limping in a court order your Immediate Response is to help them and it would be looking after them in that way that would be in an open space and would be a clear reason to do that. Im not sure from what you have said how much that is part and parcel of being in the classroom, regular touching. That might be a distinction because i think it might be all right to touch a Primary School child that secondary School Children we have a space and it across that space they do it. children we have a space and it across that space they do it. I was talking with the primary headteacher la st talking with the primary headteacher last night and she would be Very Wa Ry Last Night and she would be very wary of encouraging staff to touch children too much but i do think we have got to make the students feel safe and welcoming school and have warm and positive relations with the people who are teaching them. We have had so much contact from our viewers this morning about this. Is this professor because we live in a highly sexualised society and touch is associated with social context . Sexual contact. Is associated with social context . Sexual contact. We need to be far more rational about what the rescuers and assess it and then try and understand how important touches and understand how important touches and then legislate appropriately and not this culture of fear. We have had lots of views. Maybe this is the solution. Emma sandford wrightson. She says i just ask, solution. Emma sandford wrightson. She says ijust ask, do you need a hug . If they say yes they get one and they no then i dont. You have to be weeded out some vulnerable students might be desperate for a hug that might be more vulnerable to misinterpreting that have been getting very confused messages suit isjust not getting very confused messages suit is just not straightforward. Getting very confused messages suit isjust not straightforward. Lots of people still getting in contact. If you want to have your say please get back to the breakfast facebook page. Were saying goodbye to christian who is off to read the news on the andrew marshall. Marr show. Have a westerly breeze today which is blowing idled a that means the best the sunshine will be towards the east. Were saying that already across eastern areas. Some lovely blue skies across yorkshire. More blue skies across yorkshire. More blue cloud over to the west. Then a cloud arriving in the South East Of England and the beast of the pennines. Further west that is much lower cloud across parts of Northern Ireland and West Of Scotland and a bit of drizzle from that clyde. Eastern scotland always doing better. A brighter and friday year and a bit milder. For many Western Areas it is a struggle and it will no further to give as hill fog. Further east some sun at times but maybe some or cloud spelling in here during the afternoon. Ill be with 11 degrees are two fairly typical. It may be another afternoon of shocks. In the football. It will be milder in london than blackburn. Rain this evening in scotland and Northern Ireland could be heavy for a while and will move south overnight becoming a light and apache. It will leave behind cloud and health fog. The temperatures are really not dropping very much at all overnight. A very mild start to monday. All this mild air is coming from a long way south from the tropics. We will not get tropical sunshine but we are seeing milder weather for the time of year. Gusty winds in Eastern Scotland and north east england. This is Weather Frontier Bringing Rain Southwards and allowing sunshine to develop in scotla nd and allowing sunshine to develop in scotland and Northern Ireland and some patchy rain moving into Northern Ireland and Northern England and wales. To the south of the rain if we do get some sunshine in the south east temperatures could be even higher than that locally at 16 degrees of 17 degrees. That is the pick of the temperature over the weekend. It will turn a little less mild as the beat goes on and feel more chilly because there will be some really blustery winds. As the week goes on. Its something most dog owners battle with. Stopping their animals stealing scraps. Now pet owners are being warned about the dangers of Food Waste Bins after a dog died because he licked mould left behind by old bread. Dexter, a cockapoo, suffered multiple Organ Failure after contracting toxic shock syndrome. Vet cameron muirjoins us on the sofa and dexters Owner Sarah Dent joins us from our dunstable studio. Sarah, iam sarah, i am so sorry to hear about this. I know that you have deliberately been shipping the study because you want to warn other dog owners. because you want to warn other dog owners. Sharing the story. Because you want to warn other dog owners. Sharing the story. We had no idea this would happen and we must try and keep things either way about dogs. We kept it out of reach and we were very shocked when we find out what happened. Adults get out there and get into places they should all the time. Dogs get out there and get into places they should not all the time. It was very scary and very quick. Quicker than we could manage the situation. He came in from the garden and he was wet which made me realise he had been out there which was unusual for him. It would not normally stand up in the rain unless he was getting up to no good. He was shaking badly. He had seizures now and then. He was trembling in his whole body. He was breathing with difficulty, laboured breathing with difficulty, laboured breathing and i thought perhaps he was choking on something. But i realised he was feeling very broadly andi realised he was feeling very broadly and i had to get into the vets. I was at home with my children and my husband was at work. I happen to see the caddie laying there. I knew without you debt that afternoon and was not in the same place. I sell it was not in the same place. I sell it was open and had been licked clean. Cameron muir, have you come across any case like this . We have seen cases that could be linked. I think in the case of Dexter The Food had been out and maximised their exposure to the poison came from mould. Dexter was extremely unlucky. Moulds contain the toxins so the quality is not so important as the amount of mould and its usually is amount of mould and its usually is a Penicillin Species which most of us a Penicillin Species which most of us think is good for us because of the antibiotics associated with it but most Penicillin Varieties make poisons and it is very common. Every form of mould in our kitchen. So it is not just form of mould in our kitchen. So it is Notjust Wood Recycling bins people need to be wary off . People need to watch out for foods and cheeses and compost and bird feed. That goal is mouldy very quickly in a matter of hours to a day. Anything lying around can be toxic and recycling bins and compost bins, the mould and there is quite a lot. It stays there are quite a few hours between cleaning. That is a job no one likes doing but it is a lesson for all of us. Sarah, one likes doing but it is a Lesson Forall of us. Sarah, hammerthe family and the children doing . How were the family and the children doing. We have two dogs. I moved the bend out of georges reach. The waistband. The Waste Disposal bin. It was very dramatic for them. One of my children had to hold while they went to the vet. Then we found a second dog was in the same set on their kitchen floor. The same state. We had to repeat the process. Asafamily state. We had to repeat the process. As a family we found it dramatic and it was only when we got to the vet that we have found that the dogs would probably not pull through. Were very glad that georgie made it but unfortunately dexter did not. So as weve been hearing history has been made in the fa cup. Lincoln city the first non league side through to the quarter finals in more than a century. Lets take a look at how the team made their remarkable run. Three e mail to lincoln. 30. All, its 3 0. All, its an own goal. Raggett lincoln city. Amazing celebrations. Joining us is the clubs managing director kevin cooke and his girlfriend, and lincoln fan, jo ticehurst. There was some dispute weather the goal had ashleigh cross a line. Actually. I wasnt even sure it had crossed the line. I saw the ball go towards the goal and then then seemed to be some hesitation. Sean raggett thought he had got it. Then the referee indicated it was a goal and the assistant referee. How late was your night . It wasnt that late as we had to get up this morning and players can celebrate at the end of the season. You are at the middle of an important legal run. The game on tuesdayis an important legal run. The game on tuesday is really important to us and this is just fantastic. Tuesday is really important to us and this isjust fantastic. I cant tell you how fantastic it is for the city and everywhere you go people are talking about it. People who dont even like football. And say well done lincoln. A lot of people have been deriding the fa cup this season and it happens every year. For your club is it still magical . It is and we were listening to the radio coming over and there was some talk about using the word magic and maybe it gorgeous where part every time someone used it. But for me the magic of the fa cup is about clubs like us winning games against premier league and champions sites. Championship teams. The big clubs are expected to win so the real magic is when clubs like artists are doing well. Clubs like us. I can assure you that badly put out a really good side yesterday. They put out a fantastic team. Burnley. For us it was not the individuals and asa for us it was not the individuals and as a collective group. They were not allowed champagne but all eyes will be in the draw tonight. Who would be your dream pack . I did see chelsea but we have such a brilliant fan base. Anyone in particular . Do you have a second club . fan base. Anyone in particular . Do you have a second club . I do but i will not see it on air. I am a lifelong leeds united fan. I have said it now. I want anybody at home because i know for a home draw i can keep over 8000 lincoln city fans happy. If you get an away draw then there is the tickets. Thank you so much.
