It's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire, | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
Our top story today, some teachers in England | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
are striking over school funding, pay and workload - | :00:17. | :00:20. | |
Think about the message their action sends about the profession. I don't | :00:21. | :00:32. | |
think it shows the profession in the best light. I want people to respect | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
teachers because they do a fine jobment | :00:38. | :00:37. | |
If you're a teacher and on strike - get in touch. | :00:38. | :00:47. | |
Also on the programme - in a special report from the Calais | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
camp, migrants and refugees who are desperate to get to the UK | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
tell us what difference our decision to leave the European Union | :00:55. | :00:56. | |
Because we will in the UK. We can go to London, to Leeds, to Birmingham | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
easily. The most senior politician in Calais | :01:02. | :01:02. | |
tells this programme he now wants to scrap British border | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
checks in Calais We'll get reaction | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
throughout the programme. And we'll talk exclusively | :01:09. | :01:22. | |
to the mother of a British man who tried to kill the US | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
presidential candidate Donald Trump, She says she's worried her son may | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
take his own life if forced to serve Hello and welcome to the programme, | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
we're live until 11am. Throughout the programme we'll bring | :01:34. | :01:51. | |
you the latest breaking news At around 10.30am we'll bring | :01:52. | :01:54. | |
you the details of a long-term study which suggests that nearly three out | :01:55. | :02:05. | |
of four infertile couples can eventually become parents | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
with the help of IVF. Really keen to talk to you if you've | :02:08. | :02:09. | |
managed to conceive through IVF, tell us your experience and how many | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
cycles you had to go through. Do use the hashtag Victoria Live | :02:13. | :02:18. | |

England are on strike today in a long-running dispute | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
with the government over school funding, | :02:28. | :02:29. | |
pay and teachers' workload. The stoppage - by members | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
of the National Union of Teachers - is expected to force some schools | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
to close for the day. The Government says | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
the strike is pointless. Well, I think it is a wholly | :02:38. | :02:47. | |
unnecessary strike. We are spending ?40 billion on schools this year, | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
more than any Government has spent before. That's a ?4 billion | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
increase. This is an unnecessary strikes. It inconvenients parents | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
and it puts children's education at risk. We have an ongoing programme | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
of talks with unions including the NUT where we can discuss these | :03:04. | :03:07. | |
issues. A strike is not needed and only a quarter of the NUT's | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
membership took part and supported the strike. | :03:12. | :03:13. | |
Our education correspondent Gillian Hargreaves has this report. | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
Thousands of parents, such as these at a primary | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
school in Manchester, are having to make alternative | :03:19. | :03:20. | |
child-care arrangements as hundreds of schools across England will be | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
There could be significant disruption for pupils | :03:24. | :03:29. | |
We will be disturbed when we have to look | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
And if they start doing it again and again it'll be a big trouble. | :03:34. | :03:45. | |
I think they do a tremendous job and they should be recognised | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
and I think they are given precious little recognition. | :03:49. | :03:54. | |
And improving their pay, their conditions, would really help. | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
Teachers are striking over working conditions and protesting | :03:57. | :03:58. | |
at what they see as cuts to school budgets. | :03:59. | :04:00. | |
We think that at this moment it is important for politicians | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
They need to be investing in education, not | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
Although the union represents more than 300,000 classroom teachers, | :04:11. | :04:15. | |
only a quarter of members took part in the ballot, | :04:16. | :04:17. | |
provoking the Education Secretary, Nicky Morgan, to write a stinging | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
This is the 11th strike in the last five years. | :04:20. | :04:42. | |
Despite ongoing talks with the Government, | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
the union has threatened more ongoing action in the next term. | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
She's at a rally with teachers in North London. | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
How disruptive is the strike going to be across England? | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
Well, at the moment Victoria we don't know the national picture. It | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
affects England only, but it could affect thousands of schools. They | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
don't know the national figures just yet, but this morning, yes, the | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
school I'm standing outside in North London completely shut. Half a dozen | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
pickets are outside protesting. The Government overnight has come out | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
all guns blazing saying the strike is futile. It is politically | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
motivated and it is extremely damaging to children's futures, but | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
teachers in the National Union of Teachers say they've had enough. | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
They have had enough of a deteriorating working practises and | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
also cuts to school budgets. They say that teachers are being laid off | :05:41. | :05:45. | |
left, right and centre and children's education is suffering. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
By my reckoning this is the 11th strike in the past five years. And | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
if teachers main concern is school budget cuts it is hard to see where | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
the wriggle room in Government will come from because the Department for | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
Education says it has done all it can to try to make sure that school | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
budgets aren't cut as part of the austerity measures and compared to | :06:07. | :06:10. | |
other Government departments, the Department for Education has not | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
been as badly hit as the other areas of the Government. So it is really | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
hard to work out how this will be resolved. | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
Galian, thank you very much. Gillian Hargreaves who is is on a picket | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
line in North London. If you are a teacher and you are on | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
strike, get in touch and tell us why. Tell us about your workload and | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
tell us how the budget cuts are affecting your own school. | :06:35. | :06:35. | |
Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :06:36. | :06:37. | |
It's a journey that's taken five years, travelling a distance | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
of almost two billion miles through the solar system. | :06:45. | :06:52. | |
Now Nasa's Juno spacecraft has successfully entered | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
The probe has been pulled in by the planet's gravity, | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
and will now spend 20 months finding out what lies beneath Jupiter's | :06:58. | :07:00. | |
Here's the moment the team found out the mission had succeeded. | :07:01. | :07:10. | |
Our Science Correspondent Rebecca Morelle was at Nasa Mission Control | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
in Pasadena, California, as the news came in. | :07:16. | :07:39. | |
Theyno Also The hard work can really begin. Over the course of the next | :07:40. | :07:51. | |
18 months it will orbit Jupiter. Looking at the raging storms on the | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
surface and see what lies at Jupiter's core. It was make or break | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
and it looks like they've pulled it off. | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Conservative MPs will vote in the first round of the party's | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
leadership election today, with five candidates hoping | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
Theresa May is going into the first round of voting with a clear lead | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
among MPs, but the contest will be decided by grassroots members | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
She is joined on the ballot paper by Michael Gove, | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
Andrea Leadsom, Stephen Crabb and Liam Fox. | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
Four security officers have been killed following three suicide | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
bombings in the Saudi Arabian city of Medina .One of the attacks took | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
place near the Prophet's Mosque, one of the holiest sites in Islam. | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
Two other bombs detonated outside a Shia mosque, | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
while two security guards were injured in an explosion | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
The most senior politician in the Calais area has told this | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
programme that the deal allowing Britain to carry out immigration | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
checks on the French side of the English Channel should be | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
scrapped, after the UK voted to leave the EU. | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
Under a deal agreed in 2003, which is not linked to the EU, | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
the UK can carry out checks in Calais to stop migrants trying | :09:03. | :09:05. | |
There are around 5,000 refugees and migrants living | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
The Duke of Cambridge is urging people to "stand up, | :09:10. | :09:24. | |
Prince William has released a video message to support the first | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
ever National Stand Up To Bullying Day. | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
He's warning that it's not just confined to schools, | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
and that new technology means it can be unrelenting. | :09:33. | :09:34. | |
Bullying is an issue which can affect anyone of us, regardless of | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
age, background, gender, sexuality, race, disability or religion. | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
It can happen for many reasons. It is often stupid and cruel and can | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
take many forms. And the reach of technology means it can feel | :09:51. | :09:54. | |
unrelenting leaving the victim feeling attacked, powerless and | :09:55. | :09:55. | |
isolated. Tens of thousands of Icelanders have | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
welcomed back their national Iceland were the big | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
surprise of Euro 2016, making it all the way | :10:06. | :10:08. | |
to the quarter-finals before being knocked out | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
by the hosts France. The players made their way | :10:11. | :10:12. | |
through Rejkyavik led by drummers to a hill, where supporters greeted | :10:13. | :10:14. | |
them with wild cheering and the chant they use | :10:15. | :10:17. | |
to cheer the side. Iceland's biggest result | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
at the Euros was beating England. Thank you for your comments about | :10:20. | :10:46. | |
the teachers strike. Some schools disrupted across England because | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
members of the NUT are going on strike. This tweet from Nath, "If | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
teachers think they are overworked, try my job. " Blake says the | :10:58. | :11:03. | |
education Nicky Morgan called the NUT strike inconvenient. Isn't that | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
the point of industrial action?" Sydney says, "Thank you to teachers | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
who are striking today to defend our education system. Teachers need | :11:13. | :11:18. | |
respect, Nicky Morgan, the Education Secretary is highly unconvincing." | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
The last two years of my secondary education were ruined. I'm 44 and | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
half-way through the degree that I should have been preparing for 30 | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
years ago. Nicky Morgan needs to stop the sound bites and get this | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
sorted. Teaching is an under valued profession. It needs to be valued | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
equally with other professions that require such academic commitment. | :11:42. | :11:50. | |

Andy Murray is through to his ninth consecutive quarterfinal after | :11:56. | :12:10. | |
beating nick Kyrgios. Murray will face Joe will Fred Tsonga who he has | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
beaten twice previously at Wimbledon. It should be a tougher | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
match than the one against Kyrgios. Just a little soft still. When | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
things get tough, I'm just a little bit soft. I've got experience, but | :12:29. | :12:36. | |
it often comes down to while you're out there. One week I'm pretty | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
motivated to train and play and I'm looking forward to getting out there | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
and one week I'll not do anything. I don't know a coach out there that | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
would be down for that one. You wouldn't see Roger Federer in that | :12:52. | :12:58. | |
gear, would you? The seven time champion was at his best yesterday, | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
sweeping aside Steve Johnson in straight sets, the Swiss will play | :13:04. | :13:16. | |
Chilich. And Sam Querrey is also through to | :13:17. | :13:26. | |
the quarterfinals. The 28th seed from America won his round. Swails | :13:27. | :13:34. | |
will play later after beating another Russian in the fourth round | :13:35. | :13:43. | |
on Monday. A slip-up against Kuznetsova was the biggest threat | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
and she half jokingly threatened to sue the umpire. Her sister, Venus, | :13:48. | :13:56. | |
is in quarterfinal action later. What about this for a story? | :13:57. | :14:07. | |
Cibulkova beat Radwanska to move closer to the Wimbledon final which | :14:08. | :14:10. | |
takes place the day she is due to get married! It is not every day a | :14:11. | :14:16. | |
bride-to-be breaks into a broad smile while confessing it would be a | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
dream come true if her wedding was cancelled! I hope her husband was | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
smiling after that! The largest stage of the Tour de | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
France begins later this morning. 237.5 kilometres. Will anyone fancy | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
a sprint finish after that? Mark Cavendish might. Dressed in green | :14:37. | :14:45. | |
here, claimed the 28th stage career win of his -- stage win of his | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
career. Cavendish was not immediately aware he had done it. He | :14:51. | :14:58. | |
retains the sprinter's green jersey. I'm getting over that Iceland chant | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
in the headlines, Victoria. It is pretty indim tating. | :15:04. | :15:14. | |
They couldn't pass the ball to each other! Anyway, talk to you later, | :15:15. | :15:15. | |
Tim. Could leaving the EU help migrants | :15:16. | :15:33. | |
to get into the UK? Someone to scrap British border checks. | :15:34. | :15:43. | |
It's because some politicians in France now want to scrap British | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
Around 5000 refugees and migrants live in the camp | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
on the French side of the English channel, and at the moment British | :15:52. | :15:54. | |
border control guards have the right to police the border from there - | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
But the most senior politician in the region has told | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
this programme the deal should now be scrapped, | :16:02. | :16:03. | |
meaning Britain would have to carry out the checks from Dover instead. | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
The front runner to be the next President of France, | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
Alain Juppe, is also in favour of scrapping the deal. | :16:09. | :16:10. | |
Our reporter Catrin Nye has been to France to see what that | :16:11. | :16:13. | |
A wall of steel to keep refugees and migrants from getting | :16:14. | :16:34. | |
Much of it paid for by UK Government. | :16:35. | :16:45. | |
There are gendarmes waiting, and there is | :16:46. | :16:52. | |
I first met lorry driver Ewan a year ago. | :16:53. | :16:58. | |
Every time he passed through Calais, he | :16:59. | :17:00. | |
was struggling to keep people off his truck | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
He says open European borders have allowed people from all over | :17:05. | :17:19. | |
the world to pass into Europe and get here. | :17:20. | :17:21. | |
So he voted Leave in the European referendum. | :17:22. | :17:23. | |
There is a lot of people who are legitimately working | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
in different countries, but they are not the ones | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
We face the illegal ones, and the various governments | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
in Europe have done very little to alleviate that problem. | :17:32. | :17:33. | |
He hopes the UK will send a message to other European nations | :17:34. | :17:47. | |
who may also opt to leave, and put tighter controls on the borders. | :17:48. | :17:50. | |
If there were tight controls in other countries, they would not | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
I think if the politicians had taken it a bit more seriously, | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
the immigration issue, it would not have got | :17:58. | :17:58. | |
Some in France, though, have reacted a little differently. | :17:59. | :18:10. | |
On the right here is Economy Minister, Emmanuel Macron. | :18:11. | :18:13. | |
On the left is Xavier Bertrand, the politician in charge of a region | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
of France bigger than Belgium that includes Calais. | :18:17. | :18:18. | |
He beat the Front National's Marine Le Pen to get the job, | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
and really wants Britain to take back its border. | :18:22. | :18:28. | |
The mayor of Calais, Natacha Bouchart, wants the same. | :18:29. | :18:37. | |
In 2003, the British government negotiated a treaty with France, | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
It meant the British border police could set up and run immigration | :18:42. | :19:05. | |
checkpoints in Calais, effectively moving the border | :19:06. | :19:07. | |
It works the other way round as well. | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
But now some people want to change it. | :19:11. | :19:12. | |
So this is a group of representatives from Calais, | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
including Xavier Bertrand and the mayor of Calais | :19:15. | :19:16. | |
going into the interest tee interior ministry to talk about the idea | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
of moving the British border from Calais. | :19:20. | :19:21. | |
Le Touquet treaty is a bilateral agreement between the UK and France. | :19:22. | :19:23. | |
So technically, it has nothing to do with the EU. | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
But those who want it gone, argue the UK's rejection of the EU | :19:27. | :19:29. | |
means that France should reject the deal. | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
The idea is also being discussed by those who it | :19:37. | :19:39. | |
Those living in the Jungle in Calais. | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
This camp was demolished earlier in the year, | :19:43. | :19:43. | |
Around 5000 people are here at the moment. | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
He has been following the UK vote to leave the EU, | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
Do you think the mayor of Calais is right? | :19:51. | :20:13. | |
Would you be better if the border was in the UK? | :20:14. | :20:33. | |
What would you hope if you got the UK? | :20:34. | :20:40. | |
They are very used to changes in immigration rules here. | :20:41. | :21:22. | |
Claire Mosley started her own charity in the Jungle, | :21:23. | :21:34. | |
The tents in the camp, there is graffiti saying | :21:35. | :21:37. | |
Graffiti saying London calling back there. | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
Do you think it is our responsibility? | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
The people who come here come here because they won't come | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Over half of them have family connections to the UK. | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
Other people have other reasons, like the soldiers who worked | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
This is our problem, this is our share of | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
There are millions of refugees in Europe, and lots of | :22:04. | :22:07. | |
other countries have taken lots of them in. | :22:08. | :22:10. | |
And I don't see any reason why we shouldn't. | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
I think the French have done something about it for a long time, | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
and it is about time that we stood up and did something about it. | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
So if you had to vote, to move | :22:20. | :22:21. | |
It is going to be quite unpopular with people who voted to leave | :22:22. | :22:28. | |
the EU, if the result of that is thousands more refugees | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
or migrants arriving in the UK to be processed by us. | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
Everyone assumes that there is a direct correlation | :22:39. | :22:43. | |
between people who voted out of the EU and people who aren't | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
I don't know to what extent that is true. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
More people from this camp trying to cross the channel unaided though, | :22:50. | :22:51. | |
The idea of people being stuck in the channel the way they are in | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
That would be horrendous, and I really hope that | :22:59. | :23:05. | |
Less than a week after Brexit, Xavier Bertrand, the politician | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
in charge of the board to France region, has this meeting | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
He's currently not budging on the issue. | :23:16. | :23:33. | |
France's president, Francois Hollande, has also said | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
But Alain Juppe, a front runner for next year's | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
presidential election, has also joined the calls to send | :23:41. | :23:42. | |
The French government clearly doesn't back you on this. | :23:43. | :24:41. | |
Surely this will attract thousands more migrants to across Europe, come | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
So you would just leave people to make their own way | :24:49. | :25:06. | |
But there's a channel, eight water between these | :25:07. | :25:15. | |
You would be inviting people to cross the Channel | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
This tweet is from Richard, what happened to we want control of our | :25:21. | :26:05. | |
own borders? Later on we will get a reaction to that film from people | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
working and living in Dover. Let's talk about the race to be the next | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
Conservative leader. Conservative MPs will get | :26:14. | :26:19. | |
to vote today in the first round of the party's leadership | :26:20. | :26:21. | |
election - with five candidates Some of them are on their way now | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
to what they hope will be their new home for a government | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
meeting with the man who still is Prime | :26:29. | :26:30. | |
Minister, David Cameron. Our political guru Norman Smith | :26:31. | :26:32. | |
is outside 10 downing street waiting Our political guru Norman Smith | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
is outside 10 Downing Street waiting They are all sitting around the same | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
table, they are eyeing Michael Gove thinking could he be the next Prime | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Minister, the others are looking at the man with the beard, Stephen | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
Crabb, could he come from nowhere to be the next leader? And others will | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
be looking at the PM and thinking he will not be there for much longer, | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
who will be the next man or woman sitting in the hot seat? Following | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
on from last nighthustings last night, this could end up being an | :27:08. | :27:13. | |
all-female race, there seems to be a degree of them into building up high | :27:14. | :27:17. | |
and Andrea Leadsom. Only two candidates will go through to the | :27:18. | :27:26. | |
final ballot. -- building up behind. There is a feeling that Michael Gove | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
is so damaged by his knifing a Boris Johnson he probably will not be able | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
to recover from that. Also there is a sense with Andrea Leadsom that she | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
is new. People do not know her. When you are a new candidate, that means | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
there are not a whole load of people who feel you've snubbed them or | :27:47. | :27:50. | |
bruise them, you do not come with baggage. Because of that, people can | :27:51. | :27:57. | |
invest their own hopes and ambitions in her. She is seen as possible. | :27:58. | :28:02. | |
There has been a fairly brutal briefing against her by some of | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
Michael Gove's people. Nicky Morgan, the Education Secretary, was not | :28:10. | :28:15. | |
complimentary. Just a listen. I have worked with Andrea in the | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
past, but I think that a lot of questions about who she has backing | :28:20. | :28:24. | |
her and her experience. She has not been a cabinet minister, she has not | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
been a minister for very long and there is a mood in the party to make | :28:28. | :28:32. | |
sure that two Cabinet heavyweights who come from different traditions, | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
different sides of the EU campaign, Theresa May and Michael Gove, it | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
would be right to put them to the party and the country. In private | :28:41. | :28:45. | |
people are being a lot more unpleasant about Andrea Leadsom. One | :28:46. | :28:52. | |
Tory minister said we know when people are not giving us straight | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
answers, because we do that the whole time and she was not giving | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
straight answers the whole time. But then there was Boris Johnson, there | :29:00. | :29:08. | |
could be a whole swathe of his supporters for Andrea Leadsom. | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
Albeit this morning, Andrea Leadsom was not really saying that much when | :29:12. | :29:17. | |
she left home. I am just waiting to see what happens today. Are you | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
feeling confident? Absolutely, thank you. Are you regretting your | :29:23. | :29:31. | |
decision not to publish your tax returns? Thanks. Stephen Crabb is | :29:32. | :29:41. | |
mentioned as an outside horse. He does not have that much backing | :29:42. | :29:46. | |
behind him, but he was setting out plans that if he was Prime Minister | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
he would borrow ?100 billion to invest in infrastructure. You are | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
thinking, hang on, what happened to the deficit? He has run into | :29:56. | :30:01. | |
difficulties in the past, he voted against gay marriage and there have | :30:02. | :30:06. | |
been some suggestions that he supports groups which advocates | :30:07. | :30:09. | |
so-called gay cure was. This morning speaking on the today programme he | :30:10. | :30:16. | |
sought to quash that idea. I totally support equal marriage in law. I am | :30:17. | :30:22. | |
playing my part in government now to contribute and foster a climate of | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
tolerance and respect. I do not want anyone in society feeling second | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
best weather that is the colour of their skin or sexuality. The idea of | :30:31. | :30:39. | |
being gay is something you cant your is reprehensible and it is not part | :30:40. | :30:44. | |
of my Christian outlook. We will get the first indication of how things | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
are panning out this evening when the bottom candidate will drop out. | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
We will get the numbers for each of the different candidates and that | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
will give us a pretty clear idea of who is really racking up the votes. | :30:57. | :31:00. | |
Let me quickly finished off by running you down the votes we know | :31:01. | :31:05. | |
about. Theresa May has 214, Andrea Leadsom with 238, a big caveat, | :31:06. | :31:13. | |
people may say they are backing you, but then in the privacy of the | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
ballot box, they may do something different. | :31:17. | :31:20. | |
Later, we will speak to Ken Clarke who has run br the Conservative | :31:21. | :31:28. | |
leadership three times and he will give you a real insight about how | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
you win the backing of those MPs at this point in the race. | :31:33. | :31:34. | |

The most senior politician in the Calais area has told this | :33:21. | :33:23. | |
programme that the deal allowing Britain to carry out immigration | :33:24. | :33:25. | |
checks on the French side of the English Channel should be | :33:26. | :33:28. | |
scrapped after the UK voted to leave the EU. | :33:29. | :33:30. | |
Under a deal agreed in 2003, which is not linked to the EU, | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
the UK can carry out checks in Calais to stop migrants trying | :33:34. | :33:36. | |

new ad hoc curriculum devalues our children's humanity." Someone else | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
says, "I work in a school as a cleaner and what I see teachers go | :34:46. | :34:51. | |
through is a night ware. They deserve better treatment." "Pay has | :34:52. | :34:58. | |

in Surrey is due to appear in court today to enter a plea | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
against charges of disrupting an official function | :36:32. | :36:33. | |
and illegal firearm possession. The 20-year-old, who has a history | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
of autism and mental health problems, was arrested last month, | :36:38. | :36:39. | |
when he allegedly attempted to grab a police officer's gun to shoot | :36:40. | :36:42. | |
Donald Trump at a campaign rally These pictures show | :36:43. | :36:45. | |
him being led away. He said he had been planning | :36:46. | :36:49. | |
to shoot Donald Trump for a year. The first his mother knew | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
of what her son had been accused of doing was when she received | :36:53. | :37:02. | |
a call in the middle of the night She now fears for his mental | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
state if he receives We can speak to Lynne Sandford now | :37:07. | :37:09. | |
in her first tv interview. Thank you very much for coming on | :37:10. | :37:16. | |
the programme. Good morning. When you got that call from the Foreign | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
Office, in the middle of the night, how did you react? I was woken from | :37:21. | :37:26. | |
my sleep to the phone call so obviously I was a bit disorientated | :37:27. | :37:30. | |
and when the Foreign Office said we found Michael, I was very relieved. | :37:31. | :37:34. | |
I asked where they found him which was the first shock because to my | :37:35. | :37:40. | |
knowledge he was nowhere near Las Vegas. They said he been arrested | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
and when they said for, my world fell apart. Had he mentioned Donald | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
Trump? Never before. What do you think was going on with him then? We | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
have no idea. We had been very, very worried about him for the previous | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
18 months, but especially from June last year when he went to America | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
because we didn't really know why he had gone out there. He didn't reveal | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
any details of what he was doing out there. And we were very concerned | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
that he wouldn't come back. We didn't know and that was why we went | :38:15. | :38:17. | |
to the police and the authorities to say, you know, there are lots of | :38:18. | :38:22. | |
things that don't add up in this situation and we're worried for him. | :38:23. | :38:26. | |
The charges that he faces disrupting the official function, illegal | :38:27. | :38:29. | |
firearm possession after trying to allegedly grab the officer's gun... | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
That's right And the court document says he told the Secret Service he | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
had driven there from California to kill Donald Trump and he had been at | :38:39. | :38:42. | |
a shooting range the day before to practise shooting. What did you | :38:43. | :38:45. | |
think when you heard that? I was horrified. Obviously, it is very, | :38:46. | :38:49. | |
very scary. This is not the Michael I know. I just can't get my head | :38:50. | :38:54. | |
around it to be honest. If he was here now, what would he be like? The | :38:55. | :39:01. | |
Michael I knew was very sweet, very sensitive, very calm, and everybody | :39:02. | :39:07. | |
who knew him said he was polite, articulate, charming, I think his | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
two defining characteristics, he had the fantastic sense of humour, very | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
whacky sense of humour and he was very loving to his family. Not many | :39:15. | :39:23. | |
17, 18-year-olds boys still write their mum little soppy love you and | :39:24. | :39:32. | |
he bought me a huge cuddly tiger and wrapped a necklace around the neck. | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
When you heard he been planning this for a year, does that sound | :39:37. | :39:40. | |
feasible? Not at all. Everyone is very puzzled because most people | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
hadn't heard of Donald Trump a year ago and wean aware of his | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
involvement to this level. So I do find it very strange that one who | :39:48. | :39:50. | |
wasn't even interested in politics in their own country would go the | :39:51. | :39:53. | |
other side of the world and then go to such extremes, it just doesn't | :39:54. | :39:56. | |
make sense. I wonder if I could ask you about | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
Michael's long and pretty complex history of mental health problems if | :40:03. | :40:05. | |
you wouldn't mind telling our audience about how, what conditions | :40:06. | :40:09. | |
he had and how they affected him as he was growing up? I first noticed | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
things were a little bit different when he was about two. Just things | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
that didn't seemed a bit different from other children, but of course, | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
everyone child is different. I was a first time mum, but things stayed | :40:22. | :40:25. | |
relatively low-key until he was 11 and then he changed from a small | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
primary school to a huge secondary school where everything was | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
different. He also hit puberty at the same time and basically | :40:35. | :40:36. | |
everything was just too much for him to be able to cope with. We didn't | :40:37. | :40:42. | |
get a diagnosis of Asperger's until he was about 13, but looking back | :40:43. | :40:46. | |
now I understand what he had to deal with and people with autism struggle | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
with change to their environment so he was really sort of thrown out of | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
his depth then and combined with puberty everything became too much | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
for him. He started to get anxiety, and depression, he developed severe | :41:02. | :41:06. | |
OCD and he developed an eat eating disorder. His health just spiralled | :41:07. | :41:13. | |
basically. His mental health, his emotional health and his physical | :41:14. | :41:16. | |
health Hence having to be sectioned at the age of 14? Yeah, he basically | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
gave up on life because he felt he couldn't deal with it anymore and he | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
got to such a point you know with his anorexia, he was heading towards | :41:26. | :41:30. | |
dying. Really? Yeah. Wow. I mean, not only incredibly tough for him, | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
but also for you as his mum? Heartbreaking to watch your child | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
suffer and to know, you know, that they are the ones hurting | :41:38. | :41:41. | |
themselves. What do you do? So in the end, everyone, you know, could | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
see the state he was in so he had to be sectioned for his own good to try | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
and get some help for him. You very kindly brought in a letter that | :41:50. | :41:52. | |
Michael wrote to you when he was 14 and we've got it here. Are you OK if | :41:53. | :41:58. | |
I read some of this for our audience, thank you very much, Lynn. | :41:59. | :42:04. | |
This is what Michael wrote to you in 2011, he was 14. "Dear mum, I'm not | :42:05. | :42:10. | |
bad, or evil or naughty and I never intend to be. I try to be polite and | :42:11. | :42:16. | |
non rude. At the moment, I have no death wishes or want to self-harm. | :42:17. | :42:23. | |
My first escape attempt, that's from the hospital where he was sectioned, | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
my first escape attempt was intended to be peaceful and not to harm | :42:27. | :42:29. | |
people, damage property, or break the law. Any further attempts will | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
be the same. I do not want or intend to be violent and unless I feel I am | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
in danger, I will be peaceful and polite. I love you very much and I'm | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
sorry I upset you today. Lots of love, Michael." With some kisses and | :42:46. | :42:50. | |
a heart. That's the Michael I know. Yeah. That's not the person that is | :42:51. | :42:55. | |
currently out in America and we can only, we see can't even begin to | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
imagine what happened to change him to this degree. But he is clearly a | :43:00. | :43:03. | |
vulnerable man? Extremely vulnerable, yes. Could you not keep | :43:04. | :43:06. | |
him here and stop him going to America? We tried desperately. We | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
went to our local GP who was horrified. We went to local mental | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
health services, we went to the police, with our concerns, but we | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
were basically told because he is 18 and unless you have him declared | :43:20. | :43:23. | |
mentally incompetent there is nothing you can do because he is | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
very articulate, because he is very bright, there is no way he is | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
mentally incompetent. He has got his problems, but yeah, so there was | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
nothing we could do to stop him. You haven't been able to see him since | :43:35. | :43:37. | |
he has been out there... I haven't been able to speak to him at all. | :43:38. | :43:43. | |
Right, OK, I know you've written to him, has he received your letter? | :43:44. | :43:46. | |
Not to my knowledge. And what did you right to him, Lynn? I wrote a | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
lengthy letter, but I have a few bits and pieces that I'd like to | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
share with you The thank you. The most heart shattering thing for me | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
Michael were the pictures I saw on TV were the most I have seen in over | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
a year. I always remember you saying, "One day mum, I'll make you | :44:07. | :44:09. | |
proud. You always did, you were special, you were my number one. I | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
have cried so many tears for you and I'm doing anything I can to help, | :44:14. | :44:20. | |
but it is slow going obviously. I can cannot condone what you | :44:21. | :44:25. | |
attempted to do and I hate the consequences that it will hold for | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
us all. I love you forever and always, mum." What do you know about | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
his detention and the conditions of his detention? | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
It is a medium secure facility, but there is 1100 inmates there. He has | :44:40. | :44:45. | |
been held in isolation, 22 hours a day. With no window to the outside | :44:46. | :44:52. | |
world so he is really closed off from society from everything. I | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
don't know really anything more than that. Right. I know his father was | :44:57. | :45:03. | |
able to go out and visit him recently which I was unable to do at | :45:04. | :45:09. | |
that time because my daughter didn't have a passport. He was only able to | :45:10. | :45:15. | |
see Michael through videolink. How did Michael seem? It was strained. | :45:16. | :45:22. | |
He could only see his face, but he said Michael seemed bewildered and | :45:23. | :45:26. | |
disorientated and didn't really understand halfs going on or what | :45:27. | :45:29. | |
the consequences were going to be. He is quite dazed and confused, I | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
think. Do you think if he got hold of that gun, he would have carried | :45:33. | :45:34. | |
out what he apparently was planning? Anyone who knows him has serious | :45:35. | :45:47. | |
doubts about it, he is fairly frail, he has a tremor in both hands, no | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
one could have thought that he could have stood a chance. What do you | :45:53. | :45:58. | |
want to happen now? The fairest possible outcome for my son. He | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
attempted to do something very severe and that has to be taken into | :46:03. | :46:06. | |
consideration, but I need to know what has come to bring us to this | :46:07. | :46:12. | |
point, what happened in the last year in America, what has put these | :46:13. | :46:18. | |
ideas into his head, who had he been mixing with? People with autism do | :46:19. | :46:24. | |
suffer from a single-mindedness, but for someone who has never been | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
considering politics in anyway to then be so extreme, something | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
somewhere has changed that. Do you might accept that he may get a | :46:33. | :46:38. | |
lengthy prison sentence? I have been told he faces 30 years in prison and | :46:39. | :46:42. | |
ridiculous amounts of fines and there is no way he would be able to | :46:43. | :46:47. | |
cope with that. He is a very gentle and calm person by nature and he | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
would just see there is no point. Why would he lives the next 30 years | :46:52. | :46:58. | |
of his life in this situation? I fear he would try to commit suicide | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
again. What would you like the Foreign Office to do? I would like | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
him deported so he could come back to this country and get psychiatric | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
help, that way he can still see the family that adores him. He loves his | :47:13. | :47:15. | |
little sister and she desperately wants to see him. There is no | :47:16. | :47:22. | |
greater support than your family. It is treatment you say that he needs | :47:23. | :47:26. | |
rather than punishment? Jail is no place for him, he needs help, but | :47:27. | :47:31. | |
not prison. Have the Foreign Office been providing the support you would | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
expect? The only phone call I have had from the Foreign Office was when | :47:37. | :47:39. | |
they woke me up on the Saturday night to tell me he had been | :47:40. | :47:45. | |
arrested. OK, we July to see them get involved in negotiating somehow | :47:46. | :47:52. | |
to get him back here? -- would July to see them. Yes, I had to ring | :47:53. | :47:58. | |
around the detention centres to find out where he was. I feel that is | :47:59. | :48:02. | |
pretty awful as his mother that I have to do that in the | :48:03. | :48:06. | |
circumstances. I have some comments from people listening, Ian said it | :48:07. | :48:10. | |
would be a dangerous precedent if someone is not sent to jail just | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
because of suicide warriors. It would send all the wrong signals. -- | :48:16. | :48:24. | |
suicide fears. I understand that. I do not think he shouldn't not be | :48:25. | :48:29. | |
punished, but being over here we can physically visit him rather than via | :48:30. | :48:33. | |
video link, that would be far preferable. He can receive treatment | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
alongside that. I have already asked you about why you could not keep him | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
here and stop him going to America. Why did the family allow him to | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
travel if you have such concerns? We physically could not stop him, we | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
went to the authorities and they could not stop him. Dave said I can | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
totally understand this, my son has Asperger's syndrome, he is now 30 | :48:58. | :49:02. | |
and it is a very debilitating condition. It is. Louis says this is | :49:03. | :49:08. | |
a sad story, he should be sent back to the UK for help and treatment. | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
Thank you for your time this morning. Let me bring you this news. | :49:13. | :49:19. | |
It is to do with Southern rail. They say they are cutting 341 trains a | :49:20. | :49:26. | |
day in a revised timetable. That is just in from Southern Railway. That | :49:27. | :49:32. | |
is quite dramatic isn't it? 341 trains a day in a revised timetable. | :49:33. | :49:37. | |
That, according to Southern rail, that news just in in the last few | :49:38. | :49:46. | |
minutes. A long-term study suggests three out of four infertile couples | :49:47. | :49:49. | |
can become parents with the help of doctors. We are looking to hear from | :49:50. | :49:54. | |
you to hear if you have conceived through IVF. Do let us know. | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
Teachers are on strike in some schools across England today. | :49:59. | :50:00. | |
The National Union of Teachers says it's taking the action | :50:01. | :50:05. | |
because of underfunding of schools, but the government says the strike | :50:06. | :50:08. | |
It's only NUT members who're striking - they represent just under | :50:09. | :50:12. | |
But only 24% of those members actually took part in the ballot | :50:13. | :50:18. | |
for strike action with the majority of those | :50:19. | :50:20. | |
We'll hear from plenty of teachers who are striking throughout | :50:21. | :50:25. | |
the day across BBC News - but thought it would be also be | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
interesting to hear from those who aren't NUT members | :50:29. | :50:30. | |
is the General Secretary of the Voice Union - | :50:31. | :50:42. | |
they represent 20,000 teachers cross the UK and don't believe in taking | :50:43. | :50:45. | |
part in strike action under any circumstances | :50:46. | :50:46. | |
and we can also speak to Hiren Koyani a secondary | :50:47. | :50:49. | |
school teacher in London who is on strike. | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
Good morning. Why are you disrupting children's education when the | :50:53. | :51:04. | |
schools budget is higher than ever? There are more issues than the | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
budget, changes in curriculum, staffing, recruitment and it is not | :51:09. | :51:18. | |
just about finance. Why go on strike about any of those issues? We have | :51:19. | :51:22. | |
tried to negotiate, discussions with Nicky Morgan and nothing has | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
changed. We're still having funding cuts, still changes to the | :51:27. | :51:30. | |
curriculum that do not make sense to teachers and these changes are still | :51:31. | :51:33. | |
going ahead despite opposition from teachers. You are in talks with the | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
Education Secretary right now and you have gone on strike right in the | :51:39. | :51:42. | |
middle of them? They have been going on for a long time. They are still | :51:43. | :51:48. | |
ongoing, they have not collapsed. That is true, but from what we have | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
seen so far, the lack of action of the last few months, it does not | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
appear anything is insight and there is no proposal that suggests it will | :51:58. | :52:01. | |
come to an end soon. Is the right way to make your voice heard in this | :52:02. | :52:05. | |
way when only 24% of members bothered to vote? That is a high | :52:06. | :52:15. | |
turnout with in the 24%. Only a quarter of your members bothered to | :52:16. | :52:20. | |
vote. There is no minimum threshold. But what you think of the low | :52:21. | :52:26. | |
threshold? There have been high turnout is historically, but a lot | :52:27. | :52:29. | |
of people are on the fence because they are waiting to the | :52:30. | :52:33. | |
negotiations. I believe the union made the correct call, it was a vote | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
for strike action and we have minimised it in terms of destruction | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
by taking it after the exam period. We have taken it after A-levels and | :52:43. | :52:46. | |
GCSEs when the school is in a quiet period in the last three weeks of | :52:47. | :52:50. | |
time. Let me bring in Deborah Lawson, the general secretary of the | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
voice union, they represented a thousand teachers and they do not | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
believe in taking part in strike action under any circumstances, why | :52:59. | :53:05. | |
not? We began in the 70s when all the unions had the strike option. | :53:06. | :53:12. | |
Our founders actually saw the damage it was causing their pupils, but | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
also the inconvenience that it was causing to their families and to | :53:17. | :53:21. | |
businesses when people had to take time off work. Therefore at that | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
point there was not a choice for teachers. They found there was a | :53:26. | :53:31. | |
great taking of teachers who did not want to take strike action and | :53:32. | :53:34. | |
therefore they formed a union for those people who do not want to take | :53:35. | :53:41. | |
strike action. It is a choice. When the school's budget is not keeping | :53:42. | :53:44. | |
up with a number of pupils in the classroom, it is not going up | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
despite what the government says, what else can teachers do when they | :53:50. | :53:52. | |
have been in talks for a long time and no progress is being made? We | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
are involved in those very same talks and have been with the other | :53:58. | :54:02. | |
unions for some time. The machinery of government is very slow to move. | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
We have to understand the current political climate which has | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
obviously changed quite a bit in the last ten to 14 days anyway. But we | :54:11. | :54:17. | |
have to continue with those negotiations and I think the problem | :54:18. | :54:22. | |
that has been previously is the government has come at a very late | :54:23. | :54:28. | |
stage in their thinking and their negotiations to ask the unions for | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
some sort of input or often how to implement what they are proposing as | :54:34. | :54:41. | |
policies. We need to be involved right at the beginning because they | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
need to know what the unintended consequences that they are now | :54:46. | :54:48. | |
suffering, that we are all now suffering are happening. Tell me | :54:49. | :54:56. | |
about your workload and why it is more than a porter who works in the | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
NHS or a journalist who works for a news agency or a train driver or | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
anybody who is in work at the moment? I think in the last couple | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
of years it has been the number of changes to the curriculum that means | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
there is retraining, restarting, redeployment of resources and the | :55:17. | :55:19. | |
sheer volume of changes and the time frame to make the changes is not | :55:20. | :55:22. | |
acceptable. How does that affect your workload? Everything needs to | :55:23. | :55:28. | |
be redesigned, the lessons, the curriculum, the kids need to be | :55:29. | :55:31. | |
brought up to speed and then another change is made and we are constantly | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
moving the goalposts and there is no plan at the end of it. The plan the | :55:36. | :55:39. | |
Education Secretary would say it is to improve the children's education. | :55:40. | :55:47. | |
I do not think that is possible. We should say this is what we will do | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
up until 2020, we have had five changes to the curriculum in the | :55:53. | :55:54. | |
last six years, the teachers do not know what the changes are let alone | :55:55. | :55:59. | |
the children. How do you not know how to deal with change? It is a | :56:00. | :56:03. | |
relentless level of change. Change if it is positive, teachers will | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
embrace, but the impish baccalaureate is a classic example, | :56:08. | :56:11. | |
rolled out into schools and schools made changes to deal with it and | :56:12. | :56:16. | |
then they rolled it back. That was under the previous Education | :56:17. | :56:19. | |
Secretary, Michael Gove. This e-mail from David, parents are fined if | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
they take their children out of school, perhaps parents should find | :56:24. | :56:30. | |
schools for their loss of work day and education to their children. It | :56:31. | :56:36. | |
is not an individual school, it is a national issue. How does that make a | :56:37. | :56:42. | |
difference to David? Teachers do not do anything other than want to | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
teach. We are doing this for the benefit of the children. It may not | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
feel like that to parents today. To take a short-term view and say that | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
teachers should put up with anything is not acceptable. Peter says a very | :56:56. | :56:59. | |
similar thing, it is really ironic and hypocritical that parents get | :57:00. | :57:05. | |
into trouble to take children on a cheap holiday, teachers go on strike | :57:06. | :57:09. | |
and they are the first people to justify why they should be allowed | :57:10. | :57:20. | |
to disrupt lessons. You have a choice. Yes, we do not think there | :57:21. | :57:26. | |
is any other option but to strike. Thank you for talking to us. We | :57:27. | :57:28. | |
appreciate your time. If you are a teacher at home | :57:29. | :57:45. | |
watching this because you are on strike, do let us know why. Your | :57:46. | :57:50. | |
e-mails are very welcome. Times are the latest weather. | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
-- time for the latest weather. Why have things been so changeable? So | :57:55. | :58:07. | |
often a lot of it is to do with the jet stream. The ribbon of air, way | :58:08. | :58:11. | |
above our heads, 30,000 feet, the wind that drives the weather system. | :58:12. | :58:16. | |
The jet stream is just barrelling its way across the Atlantic and | :58:17. | :58:20. | |
making a beeline for our shores. What does that mean? It is bringing | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
us weather system after weather system after weather system. | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
Yesterday there is more waiting out in the wings across the Atlantic for | :58:30. | :58:36. | |
tomorrow and indeed for Thursday. For the time being, we are in a | :58:37. | :58:39. | |
window of mainly fine weather. Our weather watchers have captured the | :58:40. | :58:43. | |
scenes this morning, fairly cloudy, things have been brightening up. | :58:44. | :58:46. | |
This beautiful picture from the Scottish Highlands shows we have | :58:47. | :58:50. | |
been getting great sunshine, we will see more sunshine through the rest | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
of today and some of us will get showers, where they do crop up, they | :58:55. | :58:58. | |
could be heavy. Where we do not get them, things will stay dry. We will | :58:59. | :59:05. | |
get some rain in Scotland, the further south and west, it will stay | :59:06. | :59:10. | |
fine. Some sunshine, that will include Wimbledon! I am very hopeful | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
of a full day 's play today. Things will feel pleasantly fresh, 21 | :59:16. | :59:20. | |
degrees, a lovely day if you are lucky to be off to the tennis. For | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
southern England and Wales, a lovely afternoon, we will see some spells | :59:27. | :59:30. | |
of sunshine. A fewer showers for eastern parts of England, certainly | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
some heavy showers the northern and eastern Scotland, maybe some rumbles | :59:35. | :59:38. | |
of thunder. We will see some sunshine, fairly cool and fresh in | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
the breeze, 16 degrees in Belfast. Through this evening as tonight, the | :59:43. | :59:48. | |
showers will fade away. There will be clear skies and light wind. That | :59:49. | :59:53. | |
is a recipe for a cold night. It may come as a surprise, believe it or | :59:54. | :00:02. | |
not in July, out in the countryside, 4 degrees, there could be a touch of | :00:03. | :00:08. | |
brass frost. A cold start, but a bright start tomorrow. Some | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
sunshine, cloud will increase and the odd pesky shower across the | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
South West. 14 to 20 degrees as far as beverages go. As we head into | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Thursday, the rain in the North West tried to push its way south. -- as | :00:25. | :00:33. | |
far as temperatures go. Thursday, another mainly dry day and we will | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
see some outbreaks of rain at times further north and west. | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
Our top story today, some teachers in England | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
are striking over school funding, pay and workload - | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
Think about the message this sends about the profession. I want people | :00:55. | :01:04. | |
across the country to respect teachers because they do a fine job. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
Loads getting in touch. One viewer says, "I'm with the teachers. The | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
education system is being destroyed, thank you teachers for taking a | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
stand." In a special report from the Calais | :01:19. | :01:21. | |
camp, migrants and refugees who are desperate to get to the UK | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
tell us what difference our decision to leave the European Union | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
will make to them. It will be a good thing. We will be | :01:28. | :01:36. | |
in the UK, we will go to London, to Leeds, to Birmingham easily. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
The most senior politician in Calais tells this programme he now wants | :01:40. | :01:41. | |
to scrap British border checks in Calais and move them to Dover. | :01:42. | :01:54. | |
The mother of a British man who tried to kill the US | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Presidential hopeful Donald Trump says she's worried her son might | :01:58. | :01:59. | |
He will just see there is no point, you know, why would he live the next | :02:00. | :02:13. | |
30 years of his life in this situation? I fear yes, he would | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
attempt to commit suicide again. Hope for couples trying | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
to have a baby by IVF - a new study says more than seven out | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
of ten will be successful, but only if they are | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
given enough chances I am really keen to hear about your | :02:26. | :02:36. | |
experiences of IVF this morning. Do get in touch in the usual ways. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
Many schools in England are facing disruption as members | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
of the National Union of Teachers stage a one-day strike | :02:47. | :02:48. | |
The NUT says the action is in response to cuts which lead | :02:49. | :02:52. | |
to bigger class sizes and increased workloads for teachers. | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
But the Education Secretary, Nicky Morgan, says there is no | :02:58. | :02:59. | |
need for the strike, and it will harm | :03:00. | :03:01. | |
Well, I think it is a wholly unnecessary strike. Teachers do a | :03:02. | :03:09. | |
fantastic job, but we as a Government are spending more, ?40 | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
billion on schools, this year, than any Government has ever spent | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
before, that's a ?4 billion increase since 2011/2012. The other thing I | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
would say this is an unnecessary strike. It inconveniences parents | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
and it puts children's education at riskment we have an on going | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
programme of talks with unions where we can discuss the issues, but a | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
strike is not needed and it is notable that only a quarter of the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
NUT's membership supported the strike and took part. | :03:42. | :03:44. | |
Nasa's Juno spacecraft has successfully entered Jupiter's | :03:45. | :03:46. | |
orbit, after a journey that's taken five years, over a distance | :03:47. | :03:48. | |
The probe will spend the next 20 months finding out what lies beneath | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
Here's the moment the team found out the mission had succeeded. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |

The rail operator Southern Railway has confirmed it is getting rid | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
of more than 340 trains a day from next week, under | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
The company has been hit by major disruption on its services | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
between London and the South Coast because of strikes over | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
Southern Railway says the new schedule with fewer | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
trains will allow more predictability of services. | :04:44. | :04:45. | |
The union says the change is a "savage attack" on services. | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
The most senior politician in the Calais area has told this | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
The mother of a British man accused of attempting to grab a police | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
officer's gun to shoot Donald Trump has told this programme she fears | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
he will take his own life if he is convicted | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
20-year-old Michael Sandford, who has a history | :05:04. | :05:06. | |
of autism and mental health problems, was arrested | :05:07. | :05:08. | |
He is due to appear in court today to enter a plea against charges | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
of disrupting an official function and illegal firearm possession. | :05:15. | :05:28. | |
His mother told Victoria she is very concerned about her son. He | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
attempted to do something very severe and that has to be taken into | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
consideration, but I need to know how it has come to this point. What | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
happened to him in the last year in America? Who he has been mixing | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
with? You know, what has put the ideas into his head. Because | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
obviously people with autism, they suffer with a tunnel vision of | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
single-mindedness, but for someone who has never been considering | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
politics to be so extreme, you know, something somewhere has changed | :06:01. | :06:01. | |
that. That's a summary of | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
the latest BBC News. Thank you very much for your | :06:05. | :06:14. | |
experiences of IVF. Some really, really interesting insight from you. | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
Jo e-mails, "My partner and I had to go down the IVF route. I was 38 on | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
the day of our referral. We were told there was a success rate of 27% | :06:27. | :06:31. | |
which was really daunting, but we tried our best to stay positive. We | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
were successful on our first cycle and are the proud parents of | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
two-year-old twins who are the light of our lives. We look at them every | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
day and feel extremely blessed and will be indebted to St Mary's | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Hospital in Manchester." Rachel says, "I conceived my son through | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
IVF, it is the most emotionally difficult process I have been | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
through and it was hard financially too. Yes, the majority of people | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
will succeed eventually if they keep trying, but at what financial cost? | :07:01. | :07:05. | |
In the UK most cycles are funded privately and for most people it | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
isn't possible to keep trying for five years for financial reasons." | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
Emma e-mailed, "I'm sitting here wapping you whilst feeding my IVF | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
miracle baby after being diagnosed with unknown infertility last year. | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
My husband and I tried naturally for six years previously and I was | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
against any science intervention, but approaching my 40th birthday I | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
had no option, but to look to IVF. I'm happy to say it was successful | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
first time around and the treatment I received from the NHS was | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
fantastic. I wouldn't have changed anything and I can't wait to see my | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
little boy grow up." Thank you for those. I've got more as well. I will | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
try and read them. We will talk about the big study from Denmark | :07:51. | :07:53. | |
between 10.30am and 11am. Do get in touch with us | :07:54. | :07:56. | |

day at Wimbledon and defending champion | :08:02. | :08:10. | |
Serena Williams will play Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova | :08:11. | :08:14. | |
after winning her fourth round match She beat another Russian, | :08:15. | :08:15. | |
Svetlana Kuznetsova, Her sister Venus is also | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
in quarter-final action later. Age is no barrier for | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
the Williams sisters clearly, Dominika Cibulkova beat 2012 | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
finalist Aggie Radwanska in a match lasting almost | :08:28. | :08:37. | |
three hours yesterday. And while the Wimbledon | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
final takes place the day she is due to get married, | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
Cibulkova says it would be a "dream come true" if her | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
wedding was cancelled! She plays Elena Vesnina | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
in the quarters today. Because I never saw myself as such a | :08:53. | :09:05. | |
great grass court player, you know, and yeah, but winning now and being | :09:06. | :09:12. | |
in a quarterfinals, I would change my mind, but it is no problem, we | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
can postpone it, but I'm still here. British number one Andy Murray | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
is through to his ninth consecutive men's quarter-final after beating | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Nick Kyrios in straight sets. The world number two | :09:25. | :09:26. | |
will face Joe Wilfred Tsonga Roger Federer is among | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
those also through. The longest stage of the Tour de | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
France begins in around 20 minutes time - | :09:34. | :09:43. | |
237.5 kilometres from Will anyone fancy a sprint | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
finish after that? The Manx Missile, dressed in green, | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
claimed the 28th stage win That moves him up to joint second | :09:49. | :09:56. | |
place on the all time list. He only just got the victory though, | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
to keep the sprinter's green jersey. All of England has tried to forget | :10:02. | :10:07. | |
that Iceland result last week, but tens of thousands of Icelanders | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
gathered last night in the capital, Reykjavik, to welcome | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
home the country's now The Iceland players made their way | :10:14. | :10:14. | |
through the city in an open-top bus, where supporters greeted them | :10:15. | :10:31. | |
with wild cheering and applause - that grew into the | :10:32. | :10:40. | |
team's Viking chant. We'll hear from Jose Mourinho | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
later about becoming He'll be at Old Trafford for his | :10:45. | :10:46. | |
first official press conference. A large media presence is expected | :10:47. | :11:00. | |
as the former Chelsea manager outlines his vision at Old Trafford | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
this morning. The 53-year-old was confirmed as Louis van Gaal's | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
successor in May, but hasn't spoken publicly about the job as yet! | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
So we have the Special One at Chelsea and the happy one when he | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
returned to Chelsea. What's your prediction? I'm going for the Quiet | :11:22. | :11:28. | |
One. The Quiet One, are you kidding me? Hopefully the classy one, how | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
about that? There are currently five people | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
standing to be the next Prime Minister and leader | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
of the Conservative Party. They are Theresa May who is | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
the longest serving Home Secretary. She voted to remain | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
in the European Union but says Andrea Leadsom a junior Energy | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
Minister who was one of the key campaigners to leave the EU and says | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
the referendum result is a huge Michael Gove who is the Justice | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Secretary and also led the campaign He's been accused of knifing | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
Boris Johnson in the back after saying he wouldn't stand, | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
but then changing his mind Stephen Crabb, the Work | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
and Pensions Secretary He grew up on a council estate | :12:11. | :12:20. | |
and was raised by a single mother. And Liam Fox a former | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
Defence Secretary who previously He was also a prominent | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
leave campaigner. They've all been setting out | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
their stalls over the last few days. I'm in this leadership contest, | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
because I want to advance certain I believe that we need to have, | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
as the next Prime Minister, someone who believes that Britain | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
should be outside the European Union, | :12:43. | :12:44. | |
and who argued for it. Now I have taken some | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
difficult decisions, those because of my country | :12:51. | :12:51. | |
and my principles first. When people look at this, | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
they're not just looking at someone who is just going to | :12:57. | :12:58. | |
negotiate the Brexit. That's going to be a hugely | :12:59. | :13:00. | |
important part of the task that faces government | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
in the months and years ahead. But actually, we still have | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
all the other of government to do. So they're not looking | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
for a Prime Minister who is just the Brexit Prime Minister, | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
but a Prime Minister who can govern We also need to have debates | :13:12. | :13:13. | |
about these very big issues, and that is what I want | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
to inject into this contest. I want to talk about why | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
we have an obsession with meddling in the structures | :13:22. | :13:23. | |
of the health service, rather than concentrating | :13:24. | :13:25. | |
on the medicine to get us I want to make sure that the process | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
of government is much more streamlined, so we can get better | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
results for the money we put in. Every job I've done, | :13:34. | :13:37. | |
I've done it building a reputation for competence, showing that I can | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
build teams around me. Provide a sense of | :13:41. | :13:42. | |
direction and purpose. That is what I want to do for this | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
country at this really difficult moment, and I would not be | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
throwing my hat in the ring if I genuinely did not believe | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
that I had something to offer doing that, | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
but also, people around me have been saying, Stephen, | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
this is something that you can I genuinely want to do some things | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
for our country to make it the greatest country on earth, | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
and I believe I have the experiences of the real world, as well as a good | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
amount of experience in government. I was City Minister for a year, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
I have been Energy Minister I have actually a good at deal | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
of understanding about politics. And I don't think that should | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
hold me back. By this time next week five | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
candidates will have been whittled down to two by Cnservative MPs | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
who begin voting today. Then the final two go to a ballot | :14:29. | :14:37. | |
of Conservative Party members with the winner announced in | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
September. It means over the next few days | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
many of the candidates will be frantically trying to win over MPs | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
to give them their support, in some cases this can mean making | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
promises about jobs or policy. So what's it like going | :14:49. | :14:50. | |
through that process? We can speak to someone who knows | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
well what this is like. Ken Clarke has run three times | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
for the Conservative leadership,and hasn't yet declared | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
who he is going to back this time but was at a meeting last night | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
where the five set out Good morning to you. Good morning. | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
I'm guess you you have had your own private meeting with the some of the | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
candidates or you've got that to come? I've got two meetings today | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
with two of the candidates. I'm going to ask them, what are their | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
views on the big political issues? We are probably going to have a | :15:23. | :15:25. | |
recession quite soon as a result of this Brexit vote. We are having to | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
deal with terrorism and we're engaged in war in the Middle East, | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
we have problems with President Putin and we have allies around the | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
world who can't understand what we're doing. Now, the Conservative | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
Party has always been obsessed with the European Union and it is having | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
one of its neurotic internal battles about it again and the press are | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
treating the whole thing with the same excitement they usually give to | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
Celebrity Come Dancing or the Great Bake Off or something. I wish to | :15:55. | :15:58. | |
decide which of these people is capable of being Prime Minister at | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
what's going to be a very difficult time and I'm not going to declare | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
for anybody at the moment. Who are you the two people you're meeting | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
today? They are two on my short list as you may gather. Most of my | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
friends would guess! We really, it is, actually, extremely important | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
from the national point of view that we get the most cool, calm, | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
competent, Prime Minister who actually has some idea of why he or | :16:29. | :16:33. | |
she wants to be Prime Minister and what he will do and it is only my | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
vote, but that's where my vote is going to go. | :16:39. | :16:43. | |
I'm going to guess one of the people you will be meeting if you have not | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
met her already is Theresa May. You may be crossed that she is not | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
guaranteeing the movement of EU citizens. I note to read is and I | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
have worked with her for many years and I get on well with her. -- I do | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
notaries are made. She has said that because she thinks she may be Prime | :17:07. | :17:19. | |
Minister. -- I do know her. The problem is there are a huge number | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
of Brits living in the rest of the EU who are as worried about their | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
status now as all the people from Poland and Hungary and all the | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
French men and Germans are here. I think she is just not giving away | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
the fact that they should have their present status confirmed before we | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
get assurances from the other side of the channel that British people | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
living and working there will get them as well. I met a lot of young | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
Brits in Amsterdam last week who were very worried about what they | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
would be able to do, they are working there. She knows that would | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
be leverage in any Brexit negotiation. She knows she may be | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
Prime Minister and you cannot say reckless things before you start | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
negotiating. Some of the others are putting down a marker and sometimes | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
talking off the top of their head. Who is talking off the top of their | :18:17. | :18:23. | |
head? You are trying to get me to start attacking candidates! I | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
probably will in the cause of the conversation, but when we get down | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
to individual personalities, that turns me off politics altogether and | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
that was one of the problems in the referendum. Theresa May has written | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
an article in a newspaper saying there should be a parliamentary vote | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
on whether or not to replace Britain's nuclear weapons system | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
before MPs go off on their holidays. I am quite content with that, the | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
sooner we get on with the vote on Trident, the better. There are few | :18:56. | :19:00. | |
bigger issues. We all know it has to be decided. There cannot be many MPs | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
waiting to make up their mind. I think, we do not know what will | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
happen to the public expenditure, but I personally think it is so | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
essential that we do commit ourselves to maintaining a position | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
as a nuclear power in the world if we have any voice at all nowadays, | :19:20. | :19:26. | |
it will be of any use at all to our important allies. -- to be of any | :19:27. | :19:33. | |
use at all. You have run before, what is it like trying to win the | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
backing of your fellow MPs? It is slightly mad, it is the only bad | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
habit I have given up in my life, standing for the two really did | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
ship. It is a bit of a circus. You do discover a lot about your | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
colleagues. -- standing for the Conservative leadership. The first | :19:54. | :20:03. | |
one I did was an elimination contest to see which Eurosceptics was going | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
to beat me. It was after Maastricht and the party was assessed. William | :20:09. | :20:12. | |
Hague eventually drew the short straw after I made a quite | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
extraordinary looking back effort to stop things by doing a deal with | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
John Redwood to try to thwart him because John Redwood did not think | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
he was ready to lead. I think William would have done even better | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
if he had not one that time and left me to take on Tony Blair. Is it just | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
pragmatic to do those kinds of deals, you scratch my back and I | :20:36. | :20:45. | |
will scratch yours? We were open about it. We did not do it behind | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
doors, we did it quite openly. I do think the atmosphere at times in | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
this leadership election is worse than any I remember. The | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
Conservative Party keeps on having them. Some really silly things have | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
happened which you would regard as quite disreputable if it was some | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
student union somewhere and they were getting carried away about | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
arguing over who would be president. You discover a lot about your | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
colleagues. There are some very heavy hints about what job they | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
would like. Some have startling expectations. Most sensible | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
candidates do not give assurances and do not draw up a Shadow Cabinet. | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
In the end you will have a complex problem to put together a | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
government. Others have all kinds of bees in their bonnet, particular | :21:43. | :21:47. | |
campaigns they want to push at you. Some people tell every candidate | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
they will vote for them, and will not tell anybody who they will vote | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
for. This is not to be particularly rude about my colleagues or the | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
political class, we are meant to represent the nation and all human | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
life is there. What is it like when you get knocked out? It depends if | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
you expect it or not. I was not crushed and mortified by any of my | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
defeats, every one of them it was quite obvious there was only a | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
chance of doing it and the party was in such a crazy state at times, I | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
could probably enjoy myself much more as a backbencher with my | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
outside interests and things rather than trying to get the party back to | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
being an electable team of people. There was very little prospect of | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
that after 1997 and really between 2001 and 2005, there was no earthly | :22:41. | :22:46. | |
chance of winning an election. I did stand, but Michael Portillo, the | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
other contender, he got knocked out and are completely unknown Iain | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Duncan Smith stood and he won, not that anyone knew who he was. A | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
strong faction did not want Michael Portillo and a strong faction did | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
not want me and suddenly we had a totally unknown Iain Duncan Smith | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
who had a miserable experience of leading the period through a very | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
difficult period of opposition and the first half of the Parliament. | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
What is your message to the candidates today? Do take it | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
seriously and think what you will do if you get in. Because I had a | :23:21. | :23:24. | |
chance of winning, I think on each of the three occasions I ran, I | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
decided that while I am not squeamish about my trade, I can | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
campaign and get the votes, what would matter for my personal job | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
satisfaction and for every other reason would be what I was going to | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
do when I got the job. I would not be judged by the WoW statements I | :23:46. | :23:52. | |
was making, I hope I did not, but in the two or three days before the | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
polls of the leadership, I would be judged on how decent a job I did | :23:57. | :24:01. | |
handling problems over the next, one hopes, five to ten years, tenure as | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
is the maximum permitted to dose, how are you going to lead the party? | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
-- ten years is the maximum permitted dosage. What is it you | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
want to say you have achieved when you have finished? Do not lose sight | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
of that in the excitement of campaigning although campaigning is | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
quite fun and I quite enjoy it and you discover an awful lot about your | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
colleagues. Tank you for your time this morning. Ken Clarke, who ran | :24:31. | :24:37. | |
for the leadership of the Conservative just the three times. | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
So what could happen to people from the European Union who're | :24:42. | :24:43. | |
Theresa May says she can't guarantee that they'll be able to stay | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
That's been criticised by some of the other candidates - | :24:50. | :24:59. | |
and many Leave campaigners - who say people living here already | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
Former Labour leader Ed Milband also criticised Ms May on this | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
Think about the work ability of lives. Are we really saying that we | :25:06. | :25:16. | |
will start deporting people from EU countries and repatriating people | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
who are living and working in other EU countries? If it is not workable | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
or right in principle, how can it possibly be a negotiating chip in | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
these negotiations? I think Theresa May is wrong, I think she should | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
reverse her position quickly and it is so unfair to those people who are | :25:35. | :25:38. | |
working throughout our country in public services and elsewhere, what | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
message are we sending to them about their role in our country? | :25:43. | :25:51. | |
Let's talk to Alina Cincan | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
who's originally from Romania and has been living | :25:57. | :25:58. | |
Jacek Horn, originally from Poland and has been | :25:59. | :26:04. | |
living in the UK for 12 years, Frederika Roberts, who's | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
Italian-German and been here 25 years. | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
When you heard what Theresa May said, how did you react? I was | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
shocked. I can understand in a way that no one can guarantee, but I | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
would expect at least that they would fight for our rights. For the | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
rights of the British people living in other EU countries. It was very | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
disappointing. I do not know if you heard Ken Clarke just now, he said | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
she may have said that because she does not want to give her hand away | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
when it comes to the Brexit negotiations this early. Like | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
someone says, it is like we are being used as pawns in the | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
negotiations. How did you react? I was very sad. I can speak from a | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
business point of view, for us it is very important to know what will | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
happen with us, my business, my workers, if we will have two invest | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
in their training because we do not know what will happen with them. We | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
hear some declarations from lots of politics about we will be able to | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
remain here, but at the moment it is just declarations and we heard so | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
many lies in the Brexit campaign and we do not know, we are uncertain | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
what will happen. It is quite frustrating and quite sad. You have | :27:32. | :27:37. | |
been here for 25 years, this is your home. All my adult life I have lived | :27:38. | :27:44. | |
in the UK, I do not sound like I am not from the UK. I have two almost | :27:45. | :27:49. | |
grown-up daughters and a British husband and it is worrying. The | :27:50. | :27:54. | |
problem is this uncertainty. I can understand the need to secure the | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
position of Brits who are living in other EU countries, but taking that | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
hardline negotiating stance is possibly not really the best way to | :28:04. | :28:07. | |
go about open negotiations to achieve the best outcome for all of | :28:08. | :28:11. | |
us. We are all in this together one way or another and we need to make | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
it work. Does it make any of you think, you know what, I am leaving? | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
It is something I have certainly thought about, absolutely. Where I | :28:24. | :28:29. | |
would go, I do not know? I am Italian and German, I lived in Italy | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
for two years as a child, I have never lived in Germany. There are | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
real practical considerations, my business is over here. I run a | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
successful business, one of my daughters is about to start | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
university and the other is about to start a levels. My husband is not a | :28:47. | :28:52. | |
linguist. If we were to move to Luxembourg, there are no chemical | :28:53. | :28:57. | |
plants where he could work as a chemical engineer. If I were to | :28:58. | :29:01. | |
leave, it would have to be when my daughters have completed their | :29:02. | :29:04. | |
education, but I do not feel welcome at the moment. Do you feel welcome? | :29:05. | :29:12. | |
That was my feeling. On the day of the result I woke up at 5am, 6am and | :29:13. | :29:18. | |
I started crying. I was extreme you disappointed, because I called the | :29:19. | :29:22. | |
UK home for seven years, it may not sound like a long time. I fell in | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
love with London the first time I came here. It was disappointing. I | :29:28. | :29:31. | |
have not had any issues or negative attitudes towards me since then. It | :29:32. | :29:37. | |
was a feeling of not being welcome. What about you? I think, yes, I was | :29:38. | :29:45. | |
disappointed at the result of the referendum. Did you feel you were | :29:46. | :29:49. | |
not welcome any more? Yes, there was some kind of feeling, but I had a | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
lot of British friends, clients and suppliers, they were cheering me up, | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
it will be all right, you are still welcome. I felt it will be all | :29:59. | :30:06. | |
right. It is not the right thing that EU nationals should be a | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
playing card on the negotiation table. I suspect the feeling of | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
being unsettled May last for a few months yet, but thank you for coming | :30:16. | :30:17. | |
on the programme, nice to meet you. More than 4,000 babies have been | :30:18. | :30:22. | |
born addicted to drugs in England That's according to figures | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
obtained by BBC Yorkshire Of those that responded, | :30:27. | :30:29. | |
Bedford had the highest rate - with one in 72 babies being born | :30:30. | :30:36. | |
addicted, compared to one Lisa Batty from Bradford gave birth | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
to four children while she She told BBC Look North | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
about her experiences. I went into hospital. I knew I was | :30:44. | :30:58. | |
withdrawing, but I was, this sounds really selfish because heroin is a | :30:59. | :31:10. | |
selfish drug. I can remember going to see him in hospital and it is all | :31:11. | :31:14. | |
vague. The times I can remember at the hospital where the times I just | :31:15. | :31:20. | |
went and scored basically. I can remember him being in the little | :31:21. | :31:27. | |
incubators and nurses coming round every four hours and they checking | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
to see how much the trembling and when they reduce them off the | :31:33. | :31:34. | |
methadone. And joining us now from Salford | :31:35. | :31:39. | |
is Consultant Psychiatrist She works with social | :31:40. | :31:41. | |
care and health charity Change Grow Live which helps | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
people with addictions. How do you get mums and their babies | :31:47. | :31:56. | |
weaned off drugs? OK. As soon as a mother comes into treatment we | :31:57. | :32:00. | |
fast-track them to make sure that they are stable. We offer them a | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
substitute called methadone and stabilise them so they don't have to | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
resort to any illicit drugs and if they're using other substances we | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
deal this them as well. Some substances we can wean them off or | :32:15. | :32:17. | |
detox them such as things like alcohol. With the heroin, it is best | :32:18. | :32:20. | |
that they are stable throughout the pregnancy and when they deliver then | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
we can look at weaning them off. Tell me about a baby that's born | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
addicted to heroin? So when a baby is born and addicted to heroin they | :32:33. | :32:37. | |
can almost straightaway having withdrawal simp doms. This can | :32:38. | :32:44. | |
happen after a few days if they are prescribed methadoneks they have a | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
high-pitched cry and they have tremors where they shake | :32:51. | :32:53. | |
uncontrollably and they can have stiffness of their legs and arms. | :32:54. | :33:00. | |
They sneeze a lot and have flu-like symptoms and yawning and hiccups, it | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
is difficult for them to sleep and feed and on'ications, depending on | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
which other substances the mother may have been taking they can end up | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
having convulsions. We manage that by making sure that the baby is | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
monitored. It has to be a hospital delivery where specialists look | :33:18. | :33:22. | |
after them and at the same time, if necessary, using a score chart we | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
see how severe the withdrawal symptoms are then they can be | :33:27. | :33:31. | |
offered medication which helps control the withdrawal symptoms and | :33:32. | :33:34. | |
wean them off that over time. How long might that process take? It can | :33:35. | :33:42. | |
sometimes take up to ten days and once they're off, and the scoring is | :33:43. | :33:47. | |
low and stable, allow them another 24 hours before they are discharged | :33:48. | :33:49. | |
home. Thank you very much for your time this morning, thank you. Thank | :33:50. | :33:50. | |
you. What will our vote to leave | :33:51. | :33:56. | |
the EU mean for camps We visited the Jungle, | :33:57. | :34:03. | |
where many migrants And fresh hope for couples trying | :34:04. | :34:06. | |
to have a baby by IVF. A big new study says that | :34:07. | :34:13. | |
most will be successful, if they are given the chance | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
to try enough times. It also depends on the mum's age as | :34:17. | :34:25. | |
well. I have got more e-mails and I'll | :34:26. | :34:29. | |
read some more in the next half an hour of the programme. | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
With the News here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom. | :34:34. | :34:35. | |
Many schools in England are facing disruption as members | :34:36. | :34:37. | |
of the National Union of Teachers stage a one-day strike | :34:38. | :34:39. | |
The NUT says the action is in response to cuts which lead | :34:40. | :34:43. | |
to bigger class sizes and increased workloads for teachers. | :34:44. | :34:45. | |
But the Education Secretary Nicky Morgan says there is no need | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
for the strike, and it will harm children's education. | :34:49. | :34:53. | |
Well, I think this is a wholly unnecessary strike. Teachers do a | :34:54. | :34:59. | |
fantastic job, but we as a Government are spending more, ?40 | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
billion on schools, this year, than any Government has ever spent | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
before, that's a ?4 billion increase since 2011 to 2012. The other thing | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
I would say, this is an unnecessary strike, it invineses parents and it | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
puts children's education at risk. We have an on keep going programme | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
with unions including the NUT where we can discuss these issues. A | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
strike is not needed and only a quarter of the NUT's membership took | :35:25. | :35:26. | |
part and supported the strike. NASA's Juno spacecraft has | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
successfully entered Jupiter's orbit, after a journey that's taken | :35:32. | :35:32. | |

The mother of a British man accused of attempting to grab a police | :36:15. | :36:18. | |

he will take his own life if he is convicted | :36:22. | :36:23. | |
20-year-old Michael Sandford, who has a history | :36:24. | :36:26. | |
of autism and mental health problems, was arrested | :36:27. | :36:28. | |
He is due to appear in court today to enter a plea against charges | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
of disrupting an official function and illegal firearm possession. | :36:34. | :36:35. | |
His mother told Victoria she is very concerned about her son. | :36:36. | :36:49. | |
I wants the fairest possible outcome for my son. | :36:50. | :36:53. | |
He attempted to do something very severe and that has to be | :36:54. | :36:56. | |
taken into consideration, but I need to know how it has come | :36:57. | :36:59. | |
What happened to him in the last year in America? | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
You know, what has put the ideas into his head? | :37:03. | :37:09. | |
Because obviously people with autism, they do suffer | :37:10. | :37:11. | |
with a tunnel vision of single-mindedness, | :37:12. | :37:13. | |
but for someone who has never been considering politics to be | :37:14. | :37:15. | |
so extreme, you know, something somewhere | :37:16. | :37:17. | |
The Bank of England has relaxed funding rules for banks to boost | :37:18. | :37:31. | |

the Tour de France. He claimed victory yesterday. While all of | :38:21. | :38:25. | |
England has tried to forget that Iceland result last week! The same | :38:26. | :38:32. | |
can't be said for the victors. Tens of tens of thousands gathered to | :38:33. | :38:37. | |

CHANTING Pretty inTim daying. -- intimidating. | :38:49. | :39:04. | |
Let's talk to Rosie who has a little girl through IVF after they are | :39:05. | :39:15. | |
third attempt and Rebecca Kenyon who had a child and is trying to have | :39:16. | :39:22. | |
another through fertility treatment. They looked at 20,000 couples over a | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
long period of time and the results would suggest to be really | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
encouraging, nearly three out of four couples will become parents. | :39:32. | :39:34. | |
Rose, tell us why you decided to have IVF treatment and at what age? | :39:35. | :39:39. | |
I suffered from two ectopic pregnancy and lost both my fallopian | :39:40. | :39:48. | |
tubes. I had my first IVF at 23 and my second IVF at 25 and again wasn't | :39:49. | :39:53. | |
successful. I just had my daughter from my third cycle and I'm 31 so I | :39:54. | :39:58. | |
had her at 29. Congratulations. Thank you. Talk about the process of | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
going through IVF. For you and your partner. It's an emotional | :40:05. | :40:11. | |
roller-coaster. It's physically straining. It's, you just don't know | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
what's going to happen. You don't know the outcome. You know, you just | :40:16. | :40:23. | |
hope and pray that it will work. Financially, it is tough. My partner | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
as wel we were trying to support each other, I think he probably felt | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
lost having me really down and crying and not probably | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
understanding so much as what us women kind of go through. And it is | :40:39. | :40:45. | |
tough. It really is. Yours first IVF treatment was successful. That must | :40:46. | :40:49. | |
have been an incredible feeling? Yeah, I don't we realised how lucky | :40:50. | :40:53. | |
we were. We knew we were lucky at the time, but I don't think we | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
realised how lucky we were. We had two failed cycles, so it just goes | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
to show, it is the luck of the draw with whether it is successful or | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
not. We have got the same problem. I also have no fallopian tubes after | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
two ectopics. Do you get any cycles on the NHS or do you have to pay | :41:12. | :41:16. | |
privately? When I lived in Wales, we had two cycles on the NHS, but the | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
waiting list was over two years. With fertility time matters so much | :41:21. | :41:24. | |
so we went private, but we did something called egg sharing, you | :41:25. | :41:32. | |
donate half your eggs in your, your resilient pays for your treatment. | :41:33. | :41:38. | |
Our second cycle was part of a drugs trial at Hammersmith Hospital for a | :41:39. | :41:48. | |
new trigger drug. A bad complication can be deadly and we had a frozen | :41:49. | :41:55. | |
cycle, we haven't had any NHS cycles and we're not entitled... You're not | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
entitled to any cycles on the NHS? Even if we had no children, we would | :42:00. | :42:06. | |
have no cycles on the NHS. They cut all funding. I'm not sure if cancer | :42:07. | :42:09. | |
patients get it, if you've frozen your eggs and it is just not fair, | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
is it? You look at Scotland, everybody gets two, even if you have | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
children from previous relationships, you get two. If you | :42:19. | :42:21. | |
have children from the relationship you're in, you don't get anymore | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
IVF. It is just different across the country. Let me bring in Ingrid who | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
got in touch and we can see her eight-year-old daughter Emily. | :42:32. | :42:35. | |
Ingrid, hello. Hello. Nice to speak to you. Tell us about the fertility | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
treatment you went through? I went through fertility treatment in 2008 | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
and Emily resulted from it. It was my first cycle. I had under gone two | :42:47. | :42:51. | |
ectopic pregnancies and I couldn't have a child naturally. I suffered | :42:52. | :42:58. | |
an ectopic right tube and one in my left tube two years later, so it was | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
our only option to have a child and it is an extremely difficult process | :43:03. | :43:06. | |
to go through. Do you mind me asking how old you were in 2008, Ingrid? I | :43:07. | :43:13. | |
was... I was 38 at the time and I was told I was lucky to have con had | :43:14. | :43:20. | |
a successful cycle on my first cycle and I want expecting it, I was | :43:21. | :43:23. | |
expecting something to go wrong because things had gone wrong in the | :43:24. | :43:27. | |
past, but it wasn't to be and Emily came along and now when I go along | :43:28. | :43:32. | |
to school concerts, I'm in tears because I think well if it wasn't | :43:33. | :43:35. | |
for this wonderful treatment I wouldn't be a mother and she | :43:36. | :43:39. | |
wouldn't be here now. Absolutely. According to the study today, it | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
suggests that the odds are heavily influenced by age, strong evidence, | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
that one in three cycles of IVF will be successful in women under the age | :43:50. | :43:56. | |
of 35. As you say, Ingrid being 38, that's an incredible story. I was | :43:57. | :44:03. | |
lucky. I went for treatment that the highest chance of success. Success | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
through the consultation that I had with the doctors at the hospital | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
that I was being treated at. What would you say to women and their | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
partners watching right now, who are going through this and are just | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
hoping, hoping, that their particular cycle of IVF works? I | :44:20. | :44:24. | |
would say to them, hang in there, but try and get as much support as | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
you possibly can maybe from intertillity support groups because | :44:30. | :44:32. | |
it is a lonely and difficult process to go through especially when you | :44:33. | :44:39. | |
are around people who are successfully conceiving naturally | :44:40. | :44:42. | |
and you can feel very, very alend and isolated during that time. I | :44:43. | :44:47. | |
went four years without a child and it was the hardest time of my life. | :44:48. | :44:53. | |
Rose, you were nodding in agreement. When you are around people who are | :44:54. | :44:59. | |
conceiving, you're pleased for them, but it feels like a personal blow? | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
Yes, I had a lot of friends that fell pregnant, had their children | :45:04. | :45:06. | |
and it was like out of my little group I was the only one still | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
struggling. It was hard. It is really hard because you want to be | :45:13. | :45:15. | |
around them, but at the same time you don't. I understand that. It is | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
really difficult. Happy for them, sad for you. Feeling really sad | :45:21. | :45:26. | |
inside. I know how you feel. Ingrid, thank you very much for joining us. | :45:27. | :45:29. | |
Thank you for getting in touch. Good luck to everyone that's going | :45:30. | :45:32. | |
through it. Thank you. Thank you. Rose thank you for coming on the | :45:33. | :45:36. | |
programme and Rebecca. Nice to see you again. Thank you very much. | :45:37. | :45:42. | |
Mark Carney, the governor of the Bank of England, is Jude to present | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
his latest financial stability report. He is expected to calm | :45:49. | :45:55. | |
market worries. -- is going to present. After Brexit, the finances | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
have deteriorated, let's speak to our business correspondent who is at | :46:02. | :46:05. | |
the bank. What are we expecting today, Andy? We have it and I have | :46:06. | :46:12. | |
to say a few weeks ago I was here at the Bank of England to hear Mark | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
Carney's warnings about what may happen if we vote for a Brexit and | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
now we are here they are saying some of the warnings are coming true. | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
There is evidence over financial policy committee that some of those | :46:25. | :46:29. | |
risks have begun to crystallise. They have identified five risks, the | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
biggest is there is not enough money coming into the country. As simple | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
as that, maybe that one is not materialising, but the second is | :46:40. | :46:46. | |
commercial real estate, your offices, your retail parks, your | :46:47. | :46:49. | |
warehouses. The risk that those prices will slump. There are some | :46:50. | :46:55. | |
signs that that may be happening. Standard life have funds in | :46:56. | :46:58. | |
commercial property and they are in trouble now. Half the money that | :46:59. | :47:03. | |
went into commercial property now isn't. They talking about household | :47:04. | :47:08. | |
indebtedness, how that makes households vulnerable to a shock, it | :47:09. | :47:12. | |
is very high by usual standards. They warn that the markets would see | :47:13. | :47:23. | |
bigger risks in investing in British companies. Those risks are now | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
reflected in the prices of our shares and our companies and the | :47:29. | :47:31. | |
amount it costs the government to borrow and so on. These risks to | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
some extent, the bank already sees signs that these risks are coming | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
true. Just a couple of weeks into the possibility of a Brexit. Really | :47:41. | :47:45. | |
interesting, Andy Verity outside the Bank of England. | :47:46. | :47:48. | |
Let's get more now on Southern Railway cutting 341 trains a day | :47:49. | :47:50. | |
I had to read that twice! Our correspondent is here. It comes | :47:51. | :48:08. | |
against the backdrop of the problems at Southern, a series of delays and | :48:09. | :48:13. | |
cancellations because of a shortage of staff and industrial action over | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
the role of conductors. They operate in the south of England, Brighton, | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
you can imagine the anger and concern from many people about what | :48:23. | :48:28. | |
is happening. Why are they doing it? The dispute is about the unions and | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
Southern are in a debate about the introduction of more driver only | :48:35. | :48:37. | |
operated services with new rolling stock that does not require a | :48:38. | :48:41. | |
conductor to close the doors. That means they could go without having a | :48:42. | :48:48. | |
second person for safety on the trains. That is the argument the | :48:49. | :48:52. | |
unions are making and they are making arguments about job losses. | :48:53. | :48:55. | |
Southern say they are being hit because people are reluctant to work | :48:56. | :49:00. | |
overtime and staff sickness. These are issues being resolved. They do | :49:01. | :49:05. | |
not have enough staff to drive the trains, shut the doors? They are not | :49:06. | :49:10. | |
saying that, they are saying the rolling stock, the new technology, | :49:11. | :49:14. | |
it says it can be operated by one person and is perfectly safe and is | :49:15. | :49:22. | |
operating in many places as it stands. The RMT are arguing strongly | :49:23. | :49:24. | |
that they do not think this is in the safety concerns of commuters and | :49:25. | :49:29. | |
they think it should be reviewed, hence all the industrial action and | :49:30. | :49:34. | |
problems that have stemmed from it. 341 cuts of services a day does | :49:35. | :49:40. | |
sound a lot. It was apparently 15% less of the normal capacity. This | :49:41. | :49:44. | |
will affect people and it is something people are taking | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
seriously in this discussion in the House of Commons at the moment. | :49:48. | :49:48. | |
Thank you. There are calls in France to scrap | :49:49. | :49:51. | |
British border checks in Calais, following the result | :49:52. | :49:54. | |
of the EU referendum. Around 5000 refugees and migrants | :49:55. | :49:55. | |
are living in a camp on the French side of the English | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
channel, and at the moment British border control guards have the right | :49:59. | :50:01. | |
to police the border from there. But the most senior politician | :50:02. | :50:06. | |
in the region has told this programme the deal should now be | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
scrapped, the border moved back to the UK, | :50:10. | :50:11. | |
meaning Britain would have to carry Our reporter Catrin Nye has been | :50:12. | :50:13. | |
to Calais to hear the growing A wall of steel to keep refugees | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
and migrants from getting UK police operate | :50:19. | :50:28. | |
here at the moment. In 2003, the British government | :50:29. | :50:31. | |
negotiated a treaty with France, It meant the British border police | :50:32. | :50:34. | |
could set up and run immigration checkpoints in Calais, | :50:35. | :50:50. | |
effectively moving the border It works the other | :50:51. | :50:52. | |
way round as well. But now some people want | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
to change it. The idea is also being | :50:56. | :51:06. | |
discussed by those living Claire Mosley started her own | :51:07. | :51:08. | |
charity in the Jungle, This is our problem, | :51:09. | :51:34. | |
this is our share of the problem, There are millions of refugees | :51:35. | :51:40. | |
in Europe, and lots of other countries have taken | :51:41. | :51:44. | |
lots of them in. And I don't see any | :51:45. | :51:46. | |
reason why we shouldn't. I think the French have done | :51:47. | :51:48. | |
something about it for a long time, and it is about time that we stood | :51:49. | :51:51. | |
up and did something about it. Less than a week after Brexit, | :51:52. | :51:56. | |
Xavier Bertrand, the politician in charge of the board to France | :51:57. | :51:59. | |
region, has this meeting He's currently not | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
budging on the issue. France's president, | :52:03. | :52:11. | |
Francois Hollande, has also said But Alain Juppe, a front runner | :52:12. | :52:13. | |
for next year's presidential election, has also joined the calls | :52:14. | :52:19. | |
to send the border back to Britain. Le Touquet treaty technically has | :52:20. | :52:42. | |
nothing to do with EU, Le Touquet treaty technically has | :52:43. | :52:49. | |
nothing to do with the EU, but those who want it done argues | :52:50. | :52:52. | |
that the UK's rejection of the EU So, how likely is it that British | :52:53. | :52:55. | |
border checks could move Former Conservative chancellor | :52:56. | :52:59. | |
Ken Clarke is back with us. Christophe Premat, a Socalist French | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
MP who looks after northern Europe and Peter Jull, who is the Chair | :53:04. | :53:16. | |
of the Local Chamber of Trade in Dover, | :53:17. | :53:19. | |
voted to leave the EU. And for an insight into how border | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
checks work, we're also joined by Chris Hobbs, a former | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
border control officer. Ken Clarke, why is this inevitable? | :53:28. | :53:36. | |
It is a fairly unique arrangement, I do not know another one, we operate | :53:37. | :53:41. | |
our border controls on the territory of our neighbour. All the people who | :53:42. | :53:47. | |
want to come in our camping on their neighbour's territory. Now we are | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
exerting sovereignty and leaving the EU, I do not see how the candidates | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
in next year 's French election will resist the fierce pressure from the | :53:56. | :54:01. | |
people in north-west France to let the British deal with their own | :54:02. | :54:04. | |
problem and deal with them in England. I hope we can house them in | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
better conditions than the jungle and decide which are genuine asylum | :54:10. | :54:13. | |
seekers and who we will let in and which are economic migrants who we | :54:14. | :54:22. | |
will somehow return. I was listening to Juppe last night, he has a strong | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
chance of beating Nicolas Sarkozy to be the right of centre candidate. He | :54:28. | :54:33. | |
was quite clear and he thinks he cannot carry on tolerating this and | :54:34. | :54:36. | |
he will do what every other country does around the world which is moved | :54:37. | :54:44. | |
British asylum seekers into Britain. Is it inevitable that the border | :54:45. | :54:48. | |
will move back to Dover after the referendum vote? I do not think it | :54:49. | :54:55. | |
is mechanic that you can just move a border like that. We will see how | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
the vote will be, how the Brexit will be executed in time. I do not | :55:01. | :55:09. | |
think we can say in a few months that the border will be in Kent | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
instead of Calais. Do you want it to be in Kent? I do not mind, you will | :55:14. | :55:24. | |
not improve the problem, it will just move to Kent. I think it is | :55:25. | :55:31. | |
really important to go on with what we have with the UK on how to | :55:32. | :55:39. | |
regulate the border in the best way. We have had some results from the | :55:40. | :55:42. | |
last two years and I think we have to go on to eliminate the problem. | :55:43. | :55:52. | |
Peter, you are in charge of the local Council of trade in Dover, are | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
you worried about this? When David suggested that the jungle would be | :55:59. | :56:04. | |
moving to Dover, everyone considered that was completely unrealistic. | :56:05. | :56:11. | |
How? You showed one of the refugees saying that when he gets to Dover he | :56:12. | :56:14. | |
will go to London or Leeds or Birmingham. There are enough of them | :56:15. | :56:21. | |
coming through at the moment, getting past the border controls we | :56:22. | :56:26. | |
have at the moment, they are not staying in Dover, there is no risk | :56:27. | :56:35. | |
of a jungle building up in Dover. Let's say the French scrap this | :56:36. | :56:39. | |
agreement, what changes in terms of migrants? I was a former police | :56:40. | :56:45. | |
officer, but I have friends in the border force, their prediction is it | :56:46. | :56:50. | |
will be chaos at Dover. The border controls are in France for a reason, | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
it makes it easier for us. If we cannot check people before they get | :56:55. | :56:59. | |
on the ferries, they will get on the ferries with cursory checks on the | :57:00. | :57:05. | |
French side and they will come over on large -- in large numbers, they | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
will need to be processed, fingerprinted. Why does that mean | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
chaos? They will be smuggling themselves in, lorries and cars have | :57:17. | :57:19. | |
to be searched. Everything that is done on the French side will have to | :57:20. | :57:24. | |
be done on the British side. That is where you will get the problems in | :57:25. | :57:28. | |
actually stopping lorries, cars, searching them, they will come off | :57:29. | :57:32. | |
the ferries and want to get away, how long will that delayed the | :57:33. | :57:38. | |
ferries? The border force is in meltdown, a chaotic situation. Not | :57:39. | :57:42. | |
enough border force officers, poor management, big problems at | :57:43. | :57:49. | |
airports, you add this to the mix and it is not a good outlook. The | :57:50. | :57:52. | |
border force officers are not looking forward to the prospect of | :57:53. | :57:55. | |
the controls moving. All right, we will leave it there. Thank you. The | :57:56. | :58:09. | |
actual agreement between the two countries is nothing to do with the | :58:10. | :58:19. | |
EU. Tomorrow we will look at what the Chilcott report is likely to | :58:20. | :58:25. | |
say. Thank you for getting in touch, it helps to shape our conversations. | :58:26. | :58:27. | |
Have a good day. Just when you think you've got | :58:28. | :58:32. | |
it all sorted... ..things don't turn out | :58:33. | :58:42. | |
quite as you'd expected. | :58:43. | :58:46. |
