Almost 1,000 children are being forced into temporary accommodation every month because more families are becoming homeless, according to councils in england. The local Government Association says the number has increased by a third in three years. It wants more powers to build what are described as genuinely Affordable Homes. 0ur social Affairs Correspondent Michael Buchanan reports. Councils say more than 900 children, what they describe as the equivalent of a secondary school, become homeless each month. In total, they say more than 120,000 children and their families are being supported in temporary accommodation. An increase of one third since 2014. Councils in the south east and major cities are dealing with the largest numbers. Though cornwall and the isle of wight, for instance, also have significant problems. The councils say they need more Affordable Homes built. They want rules on borrowing relaxed to help with new investment in housing development. Councils need the power to intervene more in the homes market. We need more Affordable Housing built in the right place to provide people with decent Affordable Housing. We also need to be able to intervene earlier as well. Rather than waiting for people to become homeless, we need to stop them becoming homeless in the first place. Ministers say theyre spending £550 million to tackle homelessness. And that a new bill passed earlier this year will prevent families from losing homes in the first place. Michael buchanan, bbc news. Drone owners will have to complete a Safety Awareness course under plans announced by the government. The Unmanned Aircraft will also have to be registered, amid growing concern about the dangers they pose to aircraft. Earlier this month, five flights were diverted from Gatwick Airport because a drone was flown too close to the runway. Our Technology Correspondent Rory Cellan Jones reports. Theyve quickly become a very popular gadget, mostly used to take great aerial pictures. But as the use of drones has grown, so have concerns about the dangers they could pose. Professional users already have to pass proficiency tests. Now, the government wants to bring in wider regulation. The new rules mean any drone weighing more than 250 grams will have to be registered and the owner needs to complete a Safety Awareness test. And the use of geofencing, Preventing Drons Flying Near Prisons and airports, will be expanded. Drone misuse is unacceptable and we are actually doing something to counter that. People flying safely have nothing to worry about. Research by the Airline Pilots union found a drone weighing 400 grams could damage a helicopter windscreen. Although it would take a two kilograms drone to harm an Airliner Flying at high speeds. If there is a collision between a drone and a manned aircraft, be that an airliner or a helicopter, it could be catastrophic. We have to do something now to make sure that does not happen. There are plenty of commercial uses for drones. Amazon is testing them for parcel delivery. The government says its keen to promote an Exciting Technology while ensuring its used responsibly. Rory cellan jones, bbc news. Boots the chemist has apologised for its response to a row about the cost it charges for the morning after pill.

The Outgoing White House press Secretary Sean Spicer has told a Us Television network that he resigned, six months into thejob, because he feared there would be too many cooks in the kitchen if he remained. His time at the podium was marked by a number of clashes with reporters, the first of which, was the row over just how many people attended Donald Trumps inauguration.

This is the sort of moment when being on Public Display has its drawbacks. A Sit Down Protest from Princess Charlotte who, like any two year old, is not overly keen on delayed gratification. Peter hunt, bbc news. One last story for you this morning. Sir mo farrah may be one of our most decorated 0lympians but now a Graphic Designerfrom swindon claims to have broken one of his world records. A less well known world record. But impressive nevertheless. Sir mo set the record for the 100 metre sack race in 2014 with a time of 39 point 91 seconds. Its been smashed, apparently. But yesterday, dad of two Stephen Wildish took on the challenge and hopped over the line in just over 28 seconds smashing mos attempt. Hes now waiting for his time to be officially verified in order to claim his new world record. He adopts almost like a Jockey Technique with one arm out . A record Isa Technique with one arm out . A record is a record. Although not official as yet. For the first time, not only do we have a female Head Of State and prime minister, but the countrys most senior judge is also a woman after Baroness Hale was appointed as president of the Supreme Court. An advocate for greater diversity within the legal profession, shes described her appointment as an honour and a challenge. Shell be officially sworn in in october. Holly hamilton has been looking back at her illustrious career. Predominantly white and male britons traditionally now has a woman in charge for the first time. The appointment of Baroness Hale furthers a long career in setting milestone. The first woman appointment come to the law commission, the first woman to join the Supreme Court, never outspoken on issues of diversity and equality. Somebody said that we had actually stripped the building of its robust masculinity. That is now as a woman, im really quite pleased about that. I think some femininity, even in a court building, is not inappropriate. She is ruled on a number of cases, now notably the government was good time to brexit last year. As a state school educated woman in the house of lords, there are few like her. How apt that she should create her own coat of arms with the motto. Women are equal to everything. Were joined now by dana denis smith, former lawyer and founder of the first 100 years female law project. Lovely to have you with us. Give us your reaction to the appointment of Baroness Hale. We are delighted to have a woman at the top of the judiciary in the uk. In my view, it is part of a line of achievements for women in law. It is part of 100 yea rs for women in law. It is part of 100 years in history for women in law, a great crowning moment, if you like. But theres more to her than just being a woman . Weve seen her career, what will she bring to the job and why is this position is so significant . One of the first things that i would say she brings is that she brings along another woman. I think its important she is a woman, not just because think its important she is a woman, notjust because she makes it justice in a different way, its the symbolic value of having a woman such an important position. It will bejoined by a such an important position. It will be joined by a second woman, that is againafirst be joined by a second woman, that is again a first for women in law. It is important that women feel if they enter the profession, they can really rise to the top of it. I think it is invaluable to all of us, asa think it is invaluable to all of us, as a society, to have this kind of role model in place. In terms of how she works, she is an incredible lawyer, and there is no difference between her ability and any mans ability. So no change there in terms of what she can bring as a lawyer, but in terms of what she brings in society is an incredible achievement. A great role model. She has been lined up for thisjob achievement. A great role model. She has been lined up for this job for some time, the predecessor was almost seen someone to take the job that she didnt have it . Can you explain that . She has been in this Vice President position for four yea rs, Vice President position for four years, i believe. Im not sure she was. She was definitely expected to be appointed as the replacement. Its an amazing. Shes led the Supreme Court in the credible way hes led the Supreme Court. In terms of power decisions, transparency, accessibility, very often we find that lawyers are seen as a very separated professions and the rest of the society. The but they are participants in everyday decisions that affect all of society. So it is a normal progression, she has been executive of the court, it is only normal that shed take centre stage. But im not sure there is any controversy other than she is so fantastic candidate for the role. The Supreme Court of anyone watching 110w the Supreme Court of anyone watching now who is thinking about having hierarchy of the court system works, what will she be in charge of . What will she be influencing as president of Supreme Court . The Supreme Court typically doesnt fit, all 12 judges sit at the same time. There are important decisions to be taken out who heres what cases, and there are dozens who heres what cases, and there are d oze ns of who heres what cases, and there are dozens of specialisms, and justices on the Supreme Court. 0ne dozens of specialisms, and justices on the Supreme Court. One is about family law, but there are other disputes that are being heard, from contract disputes that are being heard, from Co Ntra Ct To disputes that are being heard, from contract to speak to, located tax cases, to family law. There are some decisions to be taken around who heres what cases. And should we would be involved in that kind of decision . And cases before she has a 93v a gay couple, a man wanting the same rights as a wife in a heterosexual married couple. She has also had a chilly mag reviews on adoption that have proven to be controversial . She is an expert in family law, that is her area of expertise. As an academic, she has always been involved in this area but i cant think of anybody better than her to rule on such decisions, even when she had a dissenting opinion. Which means that the decision went against her, ultimately. She has an incredible wealth of experience in the field, the show she is very well placed in family law, whether a gay couple rights or child rens placed in family law, whether a gay couple rights or childrens rights, it all falls in family law. Thanks for joining it all falls in family law. Thanks forjoining us. Thank you for having me. Heres stav with a look at this mornings weather. Hello.

The Weather Front is bringing rain to the south west and the west yesterday, its journeying northwards, south west and the west yesterday, itsjourneying northwards, with a cluster of showers pushing towards the south west. The website is also struggling central and southern parts of scotland. But in north scotland, it stays dry. The same for Northern Ireland, there is that rain, some heavy rain across scotland. It plays in Eastern England as well. Some sunshine behind a bar to the south, showers expected to come lacking in to the morning. They were gradually turn heavier. Notice the wind arrows of water and light winds, breezy to the far south west but the showers are going to be the main feature across this part of the country. So heavy, thundery downpours across england and Southern Scotland, and some sunshine in Northern Scotland, Northern Ireland, 20 degrees in Northern Scotland. The best sunshine and the south but generally high teen temperatures. At the opening Royal Birkdale, we could see showers during the course today, and tomorrow temperatures around 18 celsius. They rattle on this evening creating difficult driving conditions but they eased up down overnight in southern areas, if you showers across scotland and northern england. Also quite chilly, with a bit of mist and fog on sunday, but drier and brighter. Sunday looking the better day of the two, showers developing widely across the afternoon, the Odd Heavy One but some good long dry gaps of sunshine, warm as well with highs of 22 degrees.

Youre watching breakfast from bbc news. Time now for a look at the newspapers. Lbc presenter ian collins is here to tell us whats caught his eye. Well speak to ian in a minute. First lets look at the front pages. The Daily Telegraph says its the end of First Class Travel as Chris Grayling attempts to ease rush hour pressure by stopping segregation on trains. The sun carries the story about the death of pudsey the dog. He was such a Big Star All Those Yea Rs he was such a Big Star All Those Years Ago on stage. He has sadly died. Quitea years ago on stage. He has sadly died. Quite a bit of coverage on that story today. The times leads on a political story Dick Van Dyke has apologised for his atrocious cockney accent. And hard left Labour Activists have plotted to re m ove left Labour Activists have plotted to remove the deputy leader tom watson for alleged disloyalty. And finally the guardian says europe has been supplied a list of potential suicide bombers. How are you doing . Im all right. Not bad. Apparently the owner has a new dog. Will they change the name to pudsey . Thats what theyre saying. They are saying she has another dog called sully. Butler. Thats good, isnt it . People deal with loss of their pets in different ways. But if you call the dog the new dog, its going to have a different name . She will train it. She was good training dog. Yeah, but if you start monkeying around with the dogs then all hell breaks loose. How is a little child at the moment . Snuggled up . Shes very well. Im told hes having a grumpy morning. Hes out of nappies. Where you part of the whole nappy. Though the reason i ask was this story has ppped reason i ask was this story has popped up. Jacob rees mogg, the mp, saying he has never changed a nappy. He has never changed a nappy because he has a nanny who has been with the family for 52 years, he has six kids so shes changed a lot of nappies. She is on the record book for nappy changing probably. But hes never change one. This is interesting because what other correlations here, i dont think it too tenuous, Jacob Rhys Mogg could be future leader of the tory party. And i met him this week. He is a heck of a nice man. Hes got that kind of Stephen Friar tuck varney, dry wit. How ever, whether hes likely to enamel working class people to vote for him, there is an out of touch sent. Better than him lying about it though . There is a Brutal Honesty about it, look Atjeremy Corbyn and its a guy from an affluent background, nearly 70 year old man, stu d e nts background, nearly 70 year old man, students managed to like him. Good rees mogg turned that around . What i find curious about men who changed say theyve never changed nappies. There are occasions where youre on your own at the nappy needs changing. If nanny is out, its a day off, what happens then . You call the butler. You call the butler . But there are occasions. I you say im not doing that. In the election campaign, he has a butler. Do you think the butler changes the nappies . Between the butler and the nannies, theyve got it covered. Nappies . Between the butler and the nannies, theyve got it coveredlj dont have a segue to homoeopathic remedies. Its a story you picked up the nhs withdrawing funding. Theyve spent millions on something that is not proven to work. Everyone has a story about rose petals or lavender ora story about rose petals or lavender or a compound they take or sniff and it doesnt good. But actually in terms of reviewed medicines and benefits, when it comes to homoeopathy, there really is no evidence to suggest this stuff actually works. The nhs perhaps doing their best to cover all bases over the years, spending £190 million on birth and it probably has to go. Weve talked about the drones story this morning. Is that something is that is a step forward . I cant believe you can buy a drone on their website and fly at around this guy. As in the camp believe. Its almost as big as this table, in some cases. There are implications, not least finding is parallel with a 747 on the weighty ib is. That is not good for safety. If you attach Amnesty Drones and fly around looking at your neighbours gardens attach cameras to drones. But you have to upload your information and register as an official drone user. And second hand . Theres always Somebody Flogging a drone somewhere, isnt there, im sure. But it is extraordinary because there are issues of safety with prisons and flying Mobile Phones and drugs into prisons. All sorts of things like that. But i find it strange that you can buy one and start flying stuff around this guy. We will talk to you in the next hour. Thank you. Banks and Financial Services firms are creating products that are complex and misleading to try and prevent customers shopping around effectively thats according to a financial watchdog. In an uncompromising report, the Financial Services Consumer Panel says people are inhibited from switching their current account or insurer, which can mean they end up with a worse deal. Paul lewis from radio 4s money Box Programme has more on this. This is one of your favourite subjects isnt it . About the extent to which people do not move around Financial Products to their own advantage, effectively. Is it partly because they are not told what is possible . Its partly that. As this Consumer Panel says most people doing it it is quite boring. They shouldnt have to spend their time moving every account and every product they have. As you say, it is an compromising report. Let me read you it, they inhibit customers ability to move around because of a complicated and misleading. So you can move around but they try to stop us can move around but they try to stop us by making it too difficult to work out of getting a better deal or not. So watch at the banks, these companies involved, be doing that they are not doing . The Panel Recommends that there should be regulations to make sure the prices are simple and clear and can powerball. Take overdrafts, every one of the major banks has a different set of rules. Its impossible to see which would be better for you as an individual if you are someone who goes into overdraft. They wanted to be much simpler. Ina overdraft. They wanted to be much simpler. In a significant move, they say people who do not switch should not be penalised. Ive been on here before saying if you just little Car Insurance go from one to another and another year another year, it will go another year another year, it will 9 up another year another year, it will go up and up up. They said those practices should be banned by the regulators. It is a tough report. You will notice. There is a weariness about this, you can have a panel, saying something happen and they ought to and its bad that its not, and then what . This is the problem but i have to say the Financial Services Consumer Panel, is an official body in the sand it advises the regulator, the financial conduct authorities, that has the power to pass regulations about Financial Services. They will at some point reacts. Their reaction to me was lukewarm, they said they welcome contributions to the panel, its important consumers understand the Financial Products and services they are buying. So not a Ringing Endorsement of this. But it is important that a panel with some official status, helps all of us that they can get a better deal from Financial Services. If someone is watching now to go to one area to get the most game farm, in terms of changing colours, what would it be . If youve never switch your gas and electricity account, sweating that will save you money. If you have already switch, it will save you a bit. And dont let your Car Insurance or house insurance just go with the same firm year after year. Always check it every year when it iu ns always check it every year when it runs out. Paul, thank you. Theres more on money box today, at midday on radio 4. Coming up in the next half hour.

Clothes, personal effects and jewellery were stolen but stenson refused to blame that for a poor round yesterday.

Now in football and on a weekend when england and scotlands women play their second matches at euro 2017, ive been to stoke to join some young women who are playing a new form of the game which is played in the dark. Well, were all dressed up with our face paints on. Some more than others admittedly. It seems like an ordinary six aside indoor game. All that changes with the flick of a switch it all started with Badminton Glow Squash two years ago. Glow football started up in stoke. It spread across other parts of the country too. It is just across other parts of the country too. It isjust the combination of the three factors, playing football with a friend, the lights are off and they have got the headbands and music is on. It is a real party scene. When they are playing they are not worried about the image. Everybody is the same or out there and going for it. It is great for teenage girls really. There is now weekly uv league here at Staffordshi Re Weekly Uv League here at Staffordshire University an Initiative Funded by the Premier League and backed by the fa. Its like ping pong at times. Sometimes you cant see which team mates youre passing to as long as they are in an orange shirt. It is part ofa are in an orange shirt. It is part of a wider push by Glow Active Uk which helped Start Leagues at dozens of clu bs which helped Start Leagues at dozens of clubs to reach girls like bonnie who says she would never have got into football had it not been for this. Its in the dark, you cant really see you in that. So if youre embarrassed or anything, no point because its like no one can really see you. Is that what helped you get into it . Yeah. The girls can show their personal with the way they put their personal with the way they put their face paint on. It is a save. It stays level. The game is finely poised. The opposition are making a substitution. And what a substitution. And what a substitution it was. 0h, tackled. We lost. The super sub made all the difference as the lights go on and ourface paints difference as the lights go on and our face paints have difference as the lights go on and ourface paints have run. 94 caps for england, sue smith, herfirst experience of glow football. How was it . I loved t it was so much fun. Its great for maybe the young girls and boys that dont have confidence. Soiif and boys that dont have confidence. So i if you make a mistake, you dont know who has done that mistake. It probably would have good for me. And me, i hope, when i managed to score an own goal, but it could have been anyone as you hide behind their uv paint which certainly makes for some interesting tea m certainly makes for some Interesting Team photos i think bubbles the chimp would have done better there with the paint a great game because you are anonymous.

I get hit enough with the squash ball in the light. Get inspired website has more information on where you can play, Glow In The Dark football or uv football. Cycling is due to lose funding. Seniorfigures have cycling is due to lose funding. Senior figures have expressed concerns that the reforms have been rushed through and will be rejected. Lets discuss this now with former president of British Cycling tony doyle who joins us now. This is confusing, can you give us the mugs guide to why this day, this vote is important . Well, the mugs guide is always betterfor yourself, charlie fair point the government has come forward and said that we are putting hundreds of millions of pounds into sport through the National Lottery funding and there needs to be more diversity, more inclusion, we need to stamp out sexism and racism and bullying and we want all National Governing bodies to ahere to our new code of governance. So on the face of it, theyre saying you get the money if you do those good things. So how can that be a problem . They are saying we need to have a major influence sitting on the board. So that were involved with the grass roots, the basic decisions and so were going to have people outside of the sport who have had no experience, no involvement with the sport whatsoever and they are deciding on basic issues. So the fa ct deciding on basic issues. So the fact that it has been rushed through and it has all been convened so there is as least resistance as possible. We have a british rider who is leading the Tour De France at the moment. Hundreds of thousands of brits are over there. So a lot of people who should be in attendance at the meeting arent there because they are away supporting britains cycling stars. How long have you been aware that there is an issue with diversity in cycling or pressure for the board or the way the sport is run to change . Has this come Out Of The Blue . No, it hasnt come Out Of The Blue . No, it hasnt come Out Of The Blue . No, it hasnt come Out Of The Blue. For sometime weve realised that there is not enough inclusion and that the Governing Body and our government itself have been concentrating far too much on the top of pyramid. Cycling has been very successful over the past 10 or 20 years, but there is a huge number of people coming new into the sport and we need to be looking after them. So its the kids that are coming through, the people who are riding for leisure and recognise reration. We dontjust concentrate on the Medal Factory at the top of the pyramid. Chris hoy is saying he understands the reforms should be voted through. That its important they should be. You are taking a different view. No, im not taking a com pletely different view. No, im not taking a completely different view. The majority of the proposals make sense and its time for haining. We need and its time for haining. We need an overall reform and we dont have to make that decision this afternoon. Weve got until the end of october, before we have to give a final decision. So there is three months grace where we can talk about it and sit around the table and discuss things properly rather than being told what we have to do. Sorry, im not clear what you are being asked to do. Is it a Code Of Conduct or a set of brand new rules . Its a Code Of Conduct. But. dont understand why that needs so much discussion if you agree with the principles that diversity needs to be increased and that the sport should be open to one and all. You have got people like chris hoy supporting it. I dont understand why it is a problem to have a Code Of Conduct . The money that comes into the sport is for the elite programmes, so for the World Class Performance Programme so it doesnt trickle down to the grass roots and to the kids that are coming through. Were not against it, but the federation. This sounds like an argument against the way that the sport is funded, not the Code Of Conduct . Its against both. So, the British Cycling Federation is a members organisation so the membership is the controlling sovereign body of our Governing Body and the members have not been consulted. Meeting have been taking place secretly without the membership being told. You dont agree you wont get the funding, as simple as that, isnt it . We are ready to agree, but we need compromise. We need room for discussion rather than the rules and the new Code Of Conduct being imposed on us. Tony doyle, thank you for talking to us and explaining it all to us. Its 8. 47am and youre watching breakfast from bbc news. The main stories almost 1,000 children in england are being forced into temporary accommodation every month, according to local councils.

We had heavy rain and strong winds and trees down. This weekend, we have low pressure nearby which will be producing sunshine and showers. Some will be heavy, but the winds will be falling light too. Glorious skies across the south west of england at the moment like this picture shous in bath, but the showers are never far away. Heavy showers across northern areas. But to the north of scotland, here it should stay dry with sunny spells throughout the day and it will turn warm ina throughout the day and it will turn warm in a few places. The same too for Northern Ireland, but grim skies further south, Southern Scotland and into northern england, but the rain should clear away from Eastern England. Further south, here should clear away from Eastern England. Furthersouth, here the showers pushing in towards the south west, south wales, they will be making their way inroads as well and they will turn heavier as the afternoon wears on because of the Sunshine Heating the ground. Heavy thundery ones, but in between, some good sunny spells like in Northern Ireland and Northern Scotland seeing the best of the dry and the bright weather. Top temperatures 20 or 21 celsius. For the golf, there could be showers both today and tomorrow. Temperatures around 18 to 20 celsius, but the winds will be light. The showers rattle on for a while this evening into the first pa rt while this evening into the first part of the night and then they tend to fade away for central and southern areas. But under the clear skies, light winds, it will turn fresh, i think, skies, light winds, it will turn fresh, ithink, in rural skies, light winds, it will turn fresh, i think, in rural places. We could see some mist and fog developing too. Into sunday then, a cool start, but dry with sunshine for many. Actually quite a pleasant day. A better looking day than what we will have today with the showers developing in the afternoon. Again they could be heavy, but they will be well scattered. Some areas staying dry. If you catch the sunshine it will stay warm. It stays good into next week thanks to a ridge of High Pressure and light winds. We should be looking at the Mid To Low 20s particularly central and southern areas. Studio stav, are those typical temperatures . Around the low to mid 20s, high teens further north. But the northerly winds, so it will feel fresh if you are awe out of the sun, but because the sun is strong, it will make it lovely and warm. Stav, we will speak later.

Andy steggles was just three years old when he nearly drowned in a brook in birmingham. There you was a little bundle on the floor. Oh my god. I just dropped everything and ran.

He waited 44 years to finally meet her and say thank you. Ann has had probably more of an impact on my life than she could possibly imagine. It means so much when i look at my kids and i look at you know my children, three year old 0liver, it always comes back to ann pulling me out of the river and saving my life. Whats it like seeing him after all these years . Im so pleased that hes doing so well. 0ver im so pleased that hes doing so well. Over the years ive thought about him and wondered how hes getting on and what sort of life hes leading. Its lovely to have him back in my life. You were here actually. He pulled you out from there and you were down here. Its the first time in over 40 yea rs here. Its the first time in over 40 years they have been back to the brook in marsden green. Andy now lives in america and was keen to show his family. From the first time i met show his family. From the first time imet him, show his family.

Directing an orchestra, trying out a new helicopter and even sorting out a tantrum on the runway it was a busy and eventful day for the duke and Duchess Of Cambridge as they brought their royal tour of poland and germany to a close. The official visit was laid on to remind people of the strength of ties between britain and europe, but it was arguably the young Prince George and his sister Princess Charlotte who stole the show. Heres a quick look at what they got up to. Classical music joining us now from our plymouth studio is the royal historian, professor kate williams. Good morning to you. Interesting look at those images isnt it, because there was an enormous amount of attention because it was a family occasion, wasnt it . Yes, its very interesting because it really works in terms of the royal family the biggest crowd puller is the queen, but she is no longer doing overseas visits and the next ones down are William And Kate, but the level of attention they draw is always doubled if they take the Little People with them, if they take their children with them. Yes, they got huge attention in paris, in india. The Media Attention is doubled. There are all the pictures and there really often is the case that the Little People, george and charlotte do steal the show. Yes, and what you have here, of course, we are seeing a number of images, of the youngsters, Prince George in the helicopter, but as always with the royal tours, there is a mixture of events and were sombre during this particular tour, particularly those in poland . Yes, there were some very sombre events. We saw some fun events and the rowing match, but we saw much more serious events, visiting the concentration camp, talking with former survivors and also talking about the occupation of poland, visiting the museum that celebrated and commemorated the uprising of 1944, so what you see here are William And Kate engaging in much more serious engagements with European History with the Past Thatis With European History with the past that is very recent past for many people that they met, europe is joined together in unity now, but that was not the case during the second world war. So they were there commemorating the sadness and the struggles and the difficult times and really when we see the duke and Duchess Of Cambridge engaging in this serious Political Engagement it really does show that they one day there will be the future king and queen. Yes, of course, on this occasion, it is a major visit in two european countries, the backdrop to this is the Brexit Situation which is rumbling around even as they are speaking to dignitaries and doing theirjob. How do you think they sort of managed that Diplomacy Element of the trip . Well, its very interesting because initially when they were off, there was lots of talk about how they were the brexit ambassadors, is this a Brexit Mission . The Brexit Mission is being conducted by david davis and the other ministers in the negotiations, but the idea is that this is going to be the soft power, the soft reminder to europe that at hoe the negotiations are going on and they are rather sticky, they are becoming rather mired up over questions of the divorce bill, but the visit of the divorce bill, but the visit of the duke and Duchess Of Cambridge and their children will remind people that britain still wants to be their kate, sorry, im friends. Short for time. But on a lighter note, Princess Charlotte, the moment outside the plane when clearly, people get tired when theyre young. They are being dragged around. There was a moment a lot of people will sympathise with . Yes, it is tough on the Little People. Its, most small children sadly they want to be in a soft play and not shaking hands and meeting royal dignitaries and they are exhausted. Although the majority of places William And Kate didnt ta ke of places William And Kate didnt take them to the serious parts, they we re take them to the serious parts, they were there for the fun parts. Although it is hard tonne a little person, it is fantastic to see them and they enjoy themselves and people are thrilled to see them and it is a great treat to see the small royals even though they find it a little bit exhausting. Kate, thank you very much. The headlines are coming up. We will be back with you at 9am. Hello this is breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and charlie stayt.
