The weaker pound provokes a pricing war between the two corporate | :00:00. | :00:09. | |
Tesco is no longer getting deliveries of some big household | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
It's thought that Tesco had refused Unliever's demand to raise prices | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
across a wide range of goods by around 10%, a demand prompted | :00:21. | :00:23. | |
We'll have details of the pricing war and we'll be examining | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
claims that this is part of the Brexit fall-out. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Ministers say Parliament can't have a veto over the Brexit talks | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
as some MPs demand a much bigger say in Britain's future outside the EU. | :00:38. | :00:48. | |
We still have got no offer of a vote, and we need some clarity about | :00:49. | :00:55. | |
the policy that the Government will pursue, because the Government is | :00:56. | :00:57. | |
accountable to this house. A special report from a camp | :00:58. | :00:59. | |

to clinch the one-day series The supermarket giant | :01:24. | :01:26. | |
Tesco is at loggerheads tonight with Unliever, | :01:27. | :01:54. | |
one of Britain's biggest suppliers It's understood that Tesco has | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
refused Unliever's demand to raise prices on a range of goods | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
by around 10%. The demand was said to be prompted | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
by the falling value of the pound Unilever has now stopped deliveries | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
to Tesco and the supermarket is running short | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
of a range of brands. Our business editor Simon Jack | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
has the story. Out of stock, Marmite, Ben and | :02:20. | :02:32. | |
Jerry's ice cream, personal, some of Britain's best-known brands have | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
been withdrawn from the Tesco website tonight as the UK's biggest | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
retailer refused to accept a 10% price increase from the giant | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
supplier Unilever. Retailers and suppliers followed all | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
the time, but university -- industry sources say this is a different | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
magnitude. For the biggest retailer to fall out with the biggest | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
supplier marks a new front in a perennial price war that sum say has | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
escalated because of Brexit. The value of sterling has fallen 17% | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
against the euro since Brexit, meaning Dutch company Unilever is | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
seeing revenue from UK sales fall, so they are upping the price in | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
pounds and pence to compensate. We have seen the pound fall as a | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
result of the Brexit vote. As a lot of food products are imported, this | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
is putting pressure on suppliers. Eventually something will have to | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
give and we eventually may see some of these cost increases coming | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
through to actual prices on supermarket shelves, which will be | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
bad for the everyday average British consumer. | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
It was just last week that the boss of Tesco told the BBC that price | :03:46. | :03:51. | |
pressures were building. There are some pressures, commodity prices and | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
exchange rates will bring pressure into the marketplace, historically | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
that has seen prices rise. But I stress, our approach Tesco is to | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
work ourselves and with suppliers to try to offset those pressures | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
through productivity and other things so but prices do not rise. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
Working together it appears to have stopped working. In a statement | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
tonight, Tesco had hoped that the dispute would be resolved soon, but | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
until then, shoppers may find that some objects are missing. | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Simon, can we put some of this into perspective, make sense of the | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
context of the falling pound and Brexit? It is not just Tesco having | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
this problem with Unilever, all the major grocers were hit with the | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
price demand from the Dutch company about three and a half weeks ago, | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
they have mulled over how to respond. It is interesting but Tesco | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
have chosen to call their bluff, if they like. Dave Lewis, the boss of | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
Tesco, used to work at Unilever, so nobody knows about the pricing and | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
pressures that you believe about him. I am saying call their bluff, | :04:58. | :05:02. | |
there are price pressures, obviously the pound has fallen against the | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
euro and the dollar, but some of this is made in the UK, so blaming | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
across-the-board price increases on Brexit on the fall of the pound is | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
trying it on. What will be very interesting is how many other | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
supermarkets going to the same process at the moment will fall in | :05:18. | :05:22. | |
behind Tesco or think to themselves, actually, Tesco not stocking Marmite | :05:23. | :05:25. | |
or personal, that is a horrible place for them to be and we will let | :05:26. | :05:33. | |
them sweat it out. -- not stocking Marmite all Persil. They say that | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
they are acknowledging there are price pressures, they think that the | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
way that Unilever has gone about it wrong, but the price pressures are | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
real and we may see more of them. Thank you, Simon. | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
The Prime Minister has come under more pressure | :05:45. | :05:46. | |
from MPs to allow a vote on her Government's Brexit strategy. | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
Labour insisted that Parliament had to be given the opportunity | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
to vote on it before the UK begins its formal | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
But ministers insist that Parliament can't be allowed to have a veto. | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
During a debate called by Labour, some Conservatives also expressed | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
unease about the degree of parliamentary oversight. | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
Our deputy political editor John Pienaar reports. | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
REPORTER: Should MPs have the final say, Prime Minister? | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
Theresa May wasn't saying, but she knew the answer. | :06:12. | :06:13. | |
She's in charge and no one will block Britain's path out of | :06:14. | :06:16. | |
The Prime Minister and her team mean to be the ones speaking for Britain. | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
Government and MPs don't always face the same way. | :06:23. | :06:25. | |
But MPs who say they accept the EU referendum have been told | :06:26. | :06:27. | |
in the comments they have no choice by the most Eurosceptic | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
What I'm not going to allow is for any party to have a veto | :06:31. | :06:42. | |
on the decision to leave the European Union. | :06:43. | :06:44. | |
Opposition MPs and some Tories want a say and a vote in deciding | :06:45. | :06:49. | |
Britain's negotiating position as it leaves the EU. | :06:50. | :06:50. | |
They were told ministers won't show their hand, and they had | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
In security terms, in control of our borders terms, | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
in democratic terms and in terms of the access to markets | :06:58. | :07:01. | |
across the whole world, the European Union and all | :07:02. | :07:03. | |
of the opportunities we have outside. | :07:04. | :07:05. | |
And the British people did vote for that, 17 | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
At Question Time, the Prime Minister again made clear trading with Europe | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
may mean give and take, but EU migration would be controlled | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
That will include the maximum possible access to the European | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
market for firms to trade with and operate within | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
But I'm also clear that the vote of the British people said | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
that we should control the movement of people from the EU into the UK. | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
The Labour leader mocked the absence of detail. | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
This is a Government that drew up no plans for Brexit, | :07:39. | :07:41. | |
that now has no strategy for negotiating Brexit, | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
and offers no clarity, no transparency and no chance | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
of scrutiny of the process for developing a strategy. | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
The Government is still working out its negotiating position, | :07:53. | :07:54. | |
Most MPs never wanted Britain to leave and many fear Brexit | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
There'll be many chances to vote before Brexit becomes reality, | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
but by ruling out any formal opportunity for Parliament | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
to approve or veto the deal, the Government is staking not just | :08:09. | :08:10. | |
Britain's place in Europe but its own authority | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
From MPs on all sides who opposed Brexit and lost, persistent fears. | :08:13. | :08:26. | |
Nobody voted on the 23rd of June to take an axe | :08:27. | :08:28. | |
to the economy or to destroy jobs and livelihoods. | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
Many people in the country don't think that there is a policy to put | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
Nobody voted on the 23rd of June to take an axe | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
to the economy or to destroy jobs and livelihoods. | :08:38. | :08:40. | |
They think there is a policy to put people's narrow ideological | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
You've got to take the country on this new journey with you. | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
This cannot be the political equivalent of the country being put | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
to sleep for two years with anaesthetic and waking up | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
This is a democratic process that will impact on our citizens | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
to a significant degree and which should be subject to most | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
intense scrutiny of this place and the most intense scrutiny | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
But the victorious Leave side insist it's time to have faith. | :09:01. | :09:08. | |
The British people got it right and it's our job to respect it. | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
Members opposite want to split us up by saying everything | :09:12. | :09:13. | |
If you wish to negotiate successfully, show | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
MPs will have more chances to have their say. | :09:17. | :09:20. | |
But negotiations are for ministers and they'll stand or fall | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
by the best deal they can get to take Britain out. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
So the Government says there won't be a vote | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
on its negotiating strategy before the legal process of leaving the EU | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
But there will be votes on the Great Repeal Bill - | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
legislation to end the supremacy of EU law in the UK, promised | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
And it's expected that MPs will have a vote on the | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
Let's speak to our political editor Laura Kuenssberg, | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
What do you make of the way that this pressure has been building on | :09:59. | :10:08. | |
the Prime Minister for more oversight in Parliament? Does not | :10:09. | :10:11. | |
seem right now that ministers will budge on this. Technically they | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
don't have to off a vote at this stage, and why would they risk | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
something that would be an extremely serious defeat if they fail to get | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
enough MPs onside. There are two really important things, not just | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
from today's debate but a similar rehearsal of the arguments which | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
happened in the Commons on Monday. First, when it comes to this | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
fiendishly, located process of untangling ourselves from the EU, | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
MPs are clearly not just going to say yes, ma'am, three bags full to | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
everything Theresa May decides to do. Secondly, it has been really | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
striking to see how senior MPs from the Labour Party, the Liberal | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
Democrat party, the SNP and some very well-known Tory faces are kind | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
of collaborating on all of this to push the Government, to call for | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
more scrutiny and, frankly, to send a pretty loud message to ministers | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
that they don't think it is good enough that they are sharing so very | :11:10. | :11:13. | |
little of their intentions for how we get out of the European Union. | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
Two very interesting markers have been put down this week. Parliament | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
will be running at high volume. In a sense, it has its mojo back. There | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
is a sense on the green benches that MPs feel this is a huge moment and | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
they are absolutely determined to have their say by Google or by | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
crook. It is also important to remember that we are in the | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
foothills here of a process that will be like climbing a whole range | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
of mountains, and the big moves, the big power plays in how we actually | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
leave the European Union are months and years away. And the mood in | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
Parliament, the mood in the public and the mood around the whole | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
continent might feel very, very different by the time we actually | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
get to those crunch moments. Thank you very much, Laura | :12:03. | :12:03. | |
Kuenssberg at Westminster. The Russian government has expressed | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
anger at the call for protests outside its embassy in London | :12:06. | :12:07. | |
because of its role The Russians were responding | :12:08. | :12:09. | |
to comments made yesterday by the The Kremlin said Britain had a duty | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
to guarantee the safety of Russian Our diplomatic correspondent | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
James Robbins has more details. Russian television has | :12:18. | :12:26. | |
been full of the story. News of Boris Johnson's verbal | :12:27. | :12:32. | |
assault in the Commons on Russia's bombing, | :12:33. | :12:34. | |
including the destruction of a UN aid convoy as well as his call | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
for demonstrations outside Moscow denounced his words | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
as Russophobic hysteria and used images from the archive to ridicule | :12:40. | :12:47. | |
the Foreign Secretary. In London, Jeremy Corbyn's spokesman | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
suggested protesters against atrocities heading | :12:54. | :12:55. | |
for the Russian embassy might That angered many at Westminster, | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
including some Labour MPs. Apart from a lone protester, | :12:58. | :13:05. | |
there's no sign of demonstrators answering Boris Johnson's call | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
and massing here outside any of Russia's embassy buildings | :13:09. | :13:11. | |
in Kensington, but behind the exchange of harsh words | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
between London and Moscow there lies a brutal political reality - | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
western governments are all but impotent in the face of Russian | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
military action in Syria. Humanitarian appeals to stop | :13:23. | :13:28. | |
the bombing of Aleppo The UN predicts rebel-held areas | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
in the eastern part of the city will be totally destroyed | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
by the end of the year, but calls for a no-fly zone | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
to prevent the bombing Critics stress that risks direct | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
confrontation between Russia In Aleppo itself - and these | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
are some of the latest pictures - an estimated 250,000 civilians face | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
death and starvation, Britain's former spy chief is blunt, | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
he does not see how Nato forces can You cannot pursue humanitarian goals | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
in Syria and in the process risk confrontation between | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
the United States and Russia. That is just a gamble | :14:08. | :14:12. | |
which we cannot afford to take. Which leaves President Putin calling | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
the shots in Syria, today he blamed President Obama | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
and the West for the war. TRANSLATION: It is very | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
difficult to engage in dialogue with the current | :14:27. | :14:27. | |
American administration. The administration formulates its | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
needs and insists that they be met. This is not dialogue, | :14:32. | :14:33. | |

he's taken to a police station Other detectives seize his mobile | :19:29. | :19:31. | |

were using secret groups on Facebook Farey had set up one called | :19:49. | :19:51. | |

year extended sentence. The judge said he was a dangerous | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
man, but the truth is there are tens of thousands, | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
possibly hundreds of thousands, of other men just like him | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
across the UK who view images of child abuse online and the police | :20:20. | :20:22. | |
say they're overwhelmed It's significantly in excess | :20:23. | :20:24. | |
of the 50,000 figure that I believe was probably | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
accurately assessed in 2013. I think it now goes | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
significantly beyond that. So is it possible that there | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
are as many as 100,000 men in the UK regularly viewing | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
obscene images of children? Yes, I think that's | :20:42. | :20:43. | |
a conservative estimate. So how can society best protect | :20:44. | :20:45. | |
children from this kind of threat? Recent figures suggest one in five | :20:46. | :20:49. | |
new obscene images found online have been made | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
by young people themselves. Anybody can take your photographs, | :20:55. | :20:58. | |

to overwhelm a system already A film production company has been | :21:24. | :21:29. | |
fined ?1.6 million for an accident in which the Hollywood star | :21:30. | :21:45. | |
Harrison Ford was crushed by a metal door on the set | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
of the latest Star Wars film. The incident happened two years | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
ago during rehearsals for Star Wars: The Force Awakens | :21:52. | :21:52. | |
at Pinewood Studios A leaked document, seen | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
by the BBC and Pulse Magazine, says some GP surgeries at risk | :21:56. | :22:05. | |
of closure in England should be allowed to fail | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
and go out of business. A letter from an NHS official | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
to managers and GPs in one region suggests that these practices | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
could be "left to wither away." But NHS England suggested it didn't | :22:18. | :22:19. | |
agree with the comments and it's promised more money | :22:20. | :22:24. | |
to support some practices. Our health editor, | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
Hugh Pym, reports. They're at the heart | :22:28. | :22:28. | |
of local communities, GP practices are at the front-line | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
of healthcare, but rarely a month goes by now | :22:31. | :22:33. | |
without reports of closures. Dr Dean Eggett is a GP | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
leader in South Yorkshire, he says recruiting doctors | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
is getting harder, patient numbers keep rising and the job becomes | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
ever more difficult. The pressure on GPs | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
at the moment is insane. GPs are really struggling | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
to keep their head above the water and to be able to provide | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
safe care for patients. It's not going too far to say | :22:52. | :22:53. | |
that general practice is absolutely in crisis | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
and on the brink of failure. NHS England says around one in ten | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
practices are vulnerable, including It set up a ?10 million | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
support fund, but nearly a year after the launch, | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
hardly any money has A note, seen by the BBC, | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
written by an NHS chief in the A mixture of kind of | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
health promotions stuff... This GP, at a practice | :23:16. | :23:37. | |
near Huddersfield, doesn't know if they're on the list, he does know | :23:38. | :23:39. | |
budget cuts are possible, I cannot point to one example | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
of something that somebody has done. I can see no new investment | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
into our bottom line budgets. You know, it is no good promising | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
us a lifeboat in three Patients at the surgery told me how | :23:53. | :23:59. | |
they felt about the possibility of closure and having to go | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
further for care. There is a big worry that people | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
will end up in these super surgeries where it will be difficult to get | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
an appointment and it's unlikely This surgery to me represents | :24:11. | :24:14. | |
a certain spirit, it's I'd very feel very angry, | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
I'd feel frightened. NHS distanced itself | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
from the comment about practices GPs in Scotland, Wales | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
and Northern Ireland have called on their governments to invest more | :24:32. | :24:48. | |
in general practice. It's a frequent refrain around | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
the UK as the pressure across the NHS landscape | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
continues to build. For the first time in over 30 years, | :24:54. | :24:55. | |
Britain is to host cycling's prestigious Road World | :24:56. | :25:06. | |
Championships. They'll be held in 2019 in Yorkshire | :25:07. | :25:09. | |
which, two years ago, successfully hosted the start | :25:10. | :25:11. | |
of the Tour de France. But the news does of course coincide | :25:12. | :25:18. | |
with a period of controversy over drug use in cycling as our sports | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
editor, Dan Roan, It's a sight that's becoming ever | :25:22. | :25:24. | |
more familiar, just some of Otley's Cycling Club's 500 | :25:25. | :25:27. | |
members out on their daily The club has doubled in size | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
in the last two years, evidence that Britain's | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
now a cycling nation. And today, here in Leeds, | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
came more good news. The UCI Road World Championships | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
in 2019 will take place It'll be the biggest sporting | :25:39. | :25:40. | |
event in the UK in 2019. It rounds off a decade of great | :25:41. | :25:48. | |
sport for the country and, for us in Yorkshire, | :25:49. | :25:51. | |
having had the Tour de France in 2014, two editions already | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
of the Tour de Yorkshire, to have this huge cycling event | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
coming here cements us as one This is what helped Yorkshire beat | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
competition from around the world, the millions that lined | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
the streets for the start of the Tour de France here, | :26:07. | :26:08. | |
two years ago, proving a true Two years ago, the world's most | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
famous bike race began right here in Leeds city centre and now | :26:12. | :26:18. | |
Yorkshire finds itself right at the heart of Britain's cycling | :26:19. | :26:20. | |
revolution once again. But today's news comes | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
amid a growing crisis which is affecting not only | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
the country's top professional bike team, but also the sport's | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
governing body. First came scrutiny over | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
Sir Bradley Wiggins and his therapeutic use exemptions | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
for a banned steroid shortly before Then came claims from former rider, | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
Jonathan Tiernan-Locke, that a powerful painkiller | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
was freely offered when he competed for Britain at the World | :26:48. | :26:49. | |
Championships in 2012. And finally, it emerged a mystery | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
medical package had been delivered to Team Sky in June 2011 in France | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
on the day Wiggins won a race. Team Sky, Wiggins and governing | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
body, British Cycling, all say that no rules have been | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
broken, but a UK Anti-Doping investigation has now been launched | :27:05. | :27:07. | |
into allegations of wrong-doing. The man at the centre | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
of the controversy is British cycling doctor, Richard Freeman, | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
formerly at Team Sky. At the weekend he was withdrawn | :27:15. | :27:17. | |
from travelling to this year's World Championships, but I caught up | :27:18. | :27:20. | |
with him in Manchester. Can I just ask a quick question | :27:21. | :27:22. | |
about the delivery you took Can I ask you about Jonathan | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
Tiernan-Locke's claims that I will answer your questions, | :27:26. | :27:31. | |
but I'm on the phone. Yeah, I know, but can I just quickly | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
ask you about that delivery? The use of tramadol, | :27:36. | :27:38. | |
that Jonathan Tiernan-Locke says Another medal haul in Rio | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
this summer reinforced cycling's status as Britain's most | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
successful Olympic sport, but some senior figures | :27:46. | :27:48. | |
now want change. It's out of control, | :27:49. | :27:50. | |
how it's been handled. I mean this year we've had one saga | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
after another, so you've got to look at the governance and, hopefully, | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
it's all going to get sorted out. Tonight, the sports most powerful | :27:58. | :28:03. | |
figure gave his view. My time as British Cycling | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
president, we insisted on the highest possible standards | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
of integrity in anti-doping. And, ss I say, I will be | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
surprised and disappointed Let's see what this | :28:14. | :28:19. | |
investigation produces. For Yorkshire's cyclists, this | :28:20. | :28:21. | |
is a movement gathering momentum, but for those at the top | :28:22. | :28:23. | |
of the sport the questions It's called walking football, | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
it's a low-impact version of the game for over 50s and it's | :28:27. | :28:38. | |
become so popular that the FA is now drawing up standardised rules | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
for competitive matches. There are more than 1,000 | :28:43. | :28:43. | |
clubs registered to play, that is up from 200 just | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
a couple of years ago. Our correspondent, Jon Kay, | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
has been along to a game in Bath It looks like football, it sounds | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
like football, but watch closely. In the last couple of years, 25,000, | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
mainly older people, have taken up walking football, | :29:01. | :29:03. | |
making this one of the fastest growing, but slowest | :29:04. | :29:08. | |
sports in Britain. For some of these men in Bath, | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
it's the first time Kicking a ball again, | :29:15. | :29:16. | |
especially these nice new balls they've got, | :29:17. | :29:19. | |
you know, it's a new world. It's nice to play again | :29:20. | :29:22. | |
and meet new people. I'm slower and I'm older, | :29:23. | :29:24. | |
but the passion for the game and the touch and the feel | :29:25. | :29:27. | |
of the ball is still the same. Just keeping fit and | :29:28. | :29:30. | |
keeping the doctor away. With the first home nations | :29:31. | :29:33. | |
tournament taking place next month, the FA says it's time | :29:34. | :29:36. | |
to clear up the rules. Well, people play just three | :29:37. | :29:44. | |
touches, people play over the head, So you need some sort | :29:45. | :29:47. | |
of standardisation so you can play everywhere because with different | :29:48. | :29:50. | |
leagues, even around here, you can play in different games, | :29:51. | :29:52. | |
but they're all different rules. For example, some clubs say the ball | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
must remain below head height, How do you decide what is walking | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
and what is running? And, should teams be in different | :30:01. | :30:05. | |
leagues according to the age There are a large number | :30:06. | :30:08. | |
and growing number of people Can we play them in structures | :30:09. | :30:14. | |
and leagues and competitions so therefore, at the very heart | :30:15. | :30:18. | |
of that, is having a consistent set We've got guys who've had Parkinson, | :30:19. | :30:21. | |
cancer, still suffering from cancer, But Angelo says walking football | :30:22. | :30:26. | |
should be about inclusion But we don't want it | :30:27. | :30:34. | |
to be too strict. At the end of the day, | :30:35. | :30:38. | |
it's about getting people out of the house, meeting other people | :30:39. | :30:41. | |
and having a game of football. The FA insists it doesn't | :30:42. | :30:44. | |
want to put people off having an informal kick about, | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
but it does want to take walking Newsnight's about to begin over on | :30:49. | :30:51. | |
