Good morning. After the Jubilee celebrations, some are looking

:00:41.:00:43.

forward to the future of the monarchy. There's a strange

:00:43.:00:49.

coincidence of stories in this morning's Sunday Times. A poll

:00:49.:00:55.

showing Prince Charles, not Prince William, is now most popular choice.

:00:55.:01:01.

That has not happened for long time and then you turn inside. Second, a

:01:01.:01:03.

story revealing that plants, corn saplings to be precise, not only

:01:03.:01:06.

make sounds, little clicks, but when the sounds are played at them

:01:06.:01:10.

by loudspeakers, respond. They can here. It was of course Prince

:01:10.:01:13.

Charles who once perhaps unwisely revealed that he liked to talk to

:01:13.:01:16.

plants and "they respond, I find." Cue much laughter. Well, the world

:01:16.:01:21.

is most stranger than we think. Joining me today for our review of

:01:21.:01:24.

the Sunday newspapers we have media old and new. Philip Collins writes

:01:24.:01:27.

for The Times. And Carla Buzasi is Editor in Chief of The Huffington

:01:27.:01:35.

Post UK. That's the online newspaper. So with another 100

:01:35.:01:37.

billion euros earmarked to help Spanish banks, 100 billion, just

:01:37.:01:41.

what can be done to get our struggling economies moving again?

:01:41.:01:45.

One man who knows about growth is Sir Terry Leahy who made Tesco by

:01:45.:01:50.

one measure, the world's third biggest retailer. He'll tell us

:01:50.:01:53.

about how he did it. And answer claims that Tesco has hollowed out

:01:53.:02:00.

the High Street. And of course, one consequence of the eurozone chaos

:02:00.:02:02.

may be further migration into Britain. The Home Secretary Theresa

:02:02.:02:05.

May will reveal new plans to bring the numbers down. The government's

:02:05.:02:09.

failed so far. And we'll be talking to her about whether British voters

:02:09.:02:17.

deserve their own say, a referendum, on Europe. Speaking of European

:02:17.:02:19.

immigrants to Blighty, the fictional Belgian detective Hercule

:02:19.:02:23.

Poirot never had to worry about that kind of thing. David Suchet is

:02:23.:02:29.

planning a new series and he has a play in the West End as well. As

:02:29.:02:31.

England prepare for their opening Euro 2012 match in Ukraine tomorrow,

:02:31.:02:34.

racism threatens to cast a shadow over the tournament. The Chairman

:02:34.:02:41.

of the Players Union tells us what he thinks the authorities should do.

:02:41.:02:44.

Finally, the Queen of Indie Pop, getting ready to headline more

:02:44.:02:51.

festivals this summer. Florence and her Machine are here with a

:02:51.:02:54.

stripped down version of one of their new songs. Busy morning.

:02:54.:03:01.

Let's kick off with the news with Good morning. The Chancellor,

:03:01.:03:04.

George Osborne, has warned that the debt crisis in the Eurozone is

:03:04.:03:07.

killing off Britain's chances of economic recovery. In an article in

:03:07.:03:10.

the Sunday Telegraph, he says he's frustrated that EU leaders have

:03:10.:03:14.

failed to stabilise the single currency. His comments come as

:03:15.:03:17.

officials in Washington and Berlin welcomed Spain's request for

:03:17.:03:23.

financial help from the eurozone for its troubled banks.

:03:23.:03:28.

After repeated denials that it needed international help, last

:03:28.:03:33.

night, Spain admitted what many had feared, that it would seek a bail-

:03:33.:03:39.

out for its ailing banks. After a call to European finance ministers

:03:39.:03:43.

that lasted two-and-a-half hours, Spain's economy minister confirmed

:03:43.:03:48.

the country would ask for support from Europe. But Spain is keen to

:03:48.:03:53.

point out that this is not a rescue. There are no tough conditions

:03:53.:03:57.

attached like those demanded of Greece. Spain, though, has not said

:03:57.:04:03.

how much it will need. Despite reports it could be as much as 100

:04:03.:04:07.

billion euros. Instead, Spain will wait for the result of an audit due

:04:07.:04:13.

within the next two weeks. TRANSLATION: No other system in

:04:13.:04:17.

Europe is as transparent or clear. We will see the figures and from

:04:18.:04:23.

then on we will go on into the details. But the financial markets

:04:23.:04:27.

could deliver a verdict much sooner than that audit. Spain is the 4th

:04:28.:04:32.

largest economy in at the eurozone and that is worrying for investors.

:04:32.:04:35.

They are likely to judge whether Spain has done us when trade begins

:04:35.:04:45.
:04:45.:04:47.

The spotlight then shipped back to Greece where voters go to the polls

:04:47.:04:51.

again. That has been seen as a referendum on the euro. It may

:04:52.:04:55.

bring clarity to Greece, but could equally plunged Europe back into

:04:55.:04:59.

turmoil. People in France are voting today, in the first round of

:04:59.:05:02.

parliamentary elections. The result will determine whether the new

:05:02.:05:05.

President, Francois Hollande, is able to push through radical tax

:05:05.:05:07.

and spending policies, to try to tackle the government's deficit,

:05:07.:05:15.

without cutting welfare budgets. More rain is expected in Wales

:05:15.:05:18.

today, and one flood warning remains in place, because of high

:05:18.:05:20.

river levels. A clean up has started after severe flooding

:05:21.:05:25.

yesterday led to a major rescue operation. About 1,000 people were

:05:25.:05:28.

forced to leave their homes after five inches of rain fell in 24

:05:28.:05:31.

hours. The number of people affected by

:05:31.:05:34.

the outbreak of Legionnaires disease in Edinburgh has risen to

:05:34.:05:39.

36. One person has died and 15 are in intensive care. Health officials

:05:39.:05:43.

expect the number of cases to start falling this week. They are still

:05:43.:05:47.

trying to confirm the source of the infection.

:05:47.:05:49.

Children at all primary schools in England will learn foreign

:05:49.:05:52.

languages, if a proposed overhaul of the national curriculum goes

:05:52.:05:55.

ahead. The Education Secretary Michael Gove says making language

:05:55.:05:58.

lessons compulsory for the first time would help future generations

:05:58.:06:03.

compete in a global economy. There are also plans to change the way

:06:03.:06:08.

English is taught, with a greater emphasis on spelling and grammar.

:06:08.:06:12.

That's all from me, for now. I'll be back just before ten o'clock

:06:12.:06:22.

Thank you, Naga. Now, on the front pages today. Everyone has different

:06:22.:06:27.

stories this morning. The Telegraph has the George Osborne story and a

:06:27.:06:34.

picture of Guantanamo Bay. The Mail on Sunday has gone for top stores

:06:34.:06:38.

being attacked for allowing people to gamble while they are shopping

:06:38.:06:47.

online. The Observer newspaper has a picture about something we will

:06:47.:06:51.

talk about later on. A young people have to rent rather than buy houses.

:06:51.:06:56.

The world has changed for them. Lots of football, of course. Roy

:06:56.:07:02.

Hodgson, no sweat. The Sunday Times, they have got a story about judges

:07:02.:07:06.

being told to get tough on immigrants. That is what we're

:07:06.:07:10.

going to talk to Theresa May about, as well, and finally the

:07:10.:07:13.

Independent on Sunday has Eric Pickles, that the committee

:07:13.:07:18.

secretary, talking about problem families. We will discuss that with

:07:18.:07:23.

our two wonderful paper review was. The Times and the macro or

:07:23.:07:33.
:07:33.:07:36.

xylophone. Carla Buzasi from the Huffington Post UK. And Phil

:07:37.:07:43.

Collins from the Times. The this is a story in the Times, a story which

:07:44.:07:48.

has been running for a few weeks now. There's been some great TV

:07:48.:07:57.

programmes about it. People have been exposed for trolling on it

:07:57.:08:02.

Twitter. It is being at unbelievably abusive and personally

:08:02.:08:06.

offensive whilst hiding behind anonymity. Absolutely pulls up you

:08:06.:08:10.

sit on comments on it Facebook, Twitter, and it's becoming more and

:08:10.:08:16.

more prevalent on the sites. We finally have someone who has got

:08:16.:08:21.

the police involved and is forcing Facebook to reveal their identities.

:08:21.:08:26.

It's not their actual identities but there internet address. There

:08:26.:08:33.

is no guarantee who will -- who has left the Commons will be found out.

:08:33.:08:39.

We are going to see a mass of potentially big lawsuits. Less

:08:39.:08:43.

anonymity on the internet. Absolutely. It's hard to avoid the

:08:44.:08:49.

Spanish bale-out. Critics of the European Union always always say

:08:49.:08:53.

the bad thing about it is there is this horrible plan towards

:08:53.:08:57.

federalism but the truth is, there is no plan at all. We are lurching

:08:57.:09:03.

from one crisis to the next. The latest instalment in the slow

:09:03.:09:07.

rescue of the euro is 100 billion euros for the Spanish banks. As you

:09:07.:09:11.

can imagine, that amount of money going to Spanish banks has gone

:09:11.:09:17.

down extremely badly in Spain but it's probably still the case, the

:09:18.:09:22.

euro was a terrible idea but letting it go would be even worse,

:09:22.:09:26.

so another summit is coming up at the end of June when the Germans

:09:26.:09:31.

will be prevailed upon again, will they come forward with the capital

:09:31.:09:35.

to save it? It still remains the central question. Does the German

:09:35.:09:39.

fear of inflation stop them what they have to do? In terms of our

:09:40.:09:45.

economy, these sums are unimaginable. Here is another 100

:09:45.:09:49.

billion euros for you, but is it the case our politicians have any

:09:49.:09:54.

control over what happening to the economy and the lack of growth?

:09:54.:09:59.

are sucked into some extent. France, Germany, the eurozone has avoided

:09:59.:10:05.

recession and we haven't. You can't entirely attribute it to the

:10:05.:10:10.

eurozone. Of course, it has an effect. At the moment, the Tory

:10:10.:10:14.

party is about to indulge itself in a referendum about fantasy, which

:10:14.:10:19.

is to say a Europe which has not exist, common trading bloc without

:10:19.:10:22.

the European Union, calling for a referendum on this, is like calling

:10:22.:10:32.
:10:32.:10:38.

for a referendum on nanny a. -- Narnia. A lot of people would like

:10:38.:10:46.

that. But it doesn't exist. have chosen a story relating to the

:10:46.:10:52.

human cost. There is a 10% rise in women over 30 having abortions and

:10:52.:10:56.

they are blaming that on at the recession forced. They are worried

:10:56.:11:01.

about their careers, more women are out of work than men have since the

:11:01.:11:05.

recession started. The pro-life lobby will seize on this and there

:11:05.:11:09.

is a quote in the story where they are saying women are using this as

:11:09.:11:13.

a quick way of getting rid of children and I don't think this is

:11:13.:11:16.

something anybody goes into in a light-hearted manner but yet

:11:16.:11:20.

another example of how the recession is affecting everybody on

:11:20.:11:25.

a personal level. It's also saying the number of teenagers having

:11:26.:11:31.

abortions has gone down. All the headlines, it's terrible, actually

:11:31.:11:38.

it is decreasing. Interesting story. We have to talk about the obvious

:11:38.:11:41.

course of Douglas Alexander, Labour politician, on a slightly

:11:41.:11:46.

unexpected story. Yes, it's always good to hear from him on football.

:11:46.:11:49.

That's what we have got in the Mail on Sunday and despite the lurid

:11:49.:11:54.

headline, the Caci makes is a very considered one. I think he's right

:11:54.:11:57.

about it. -- that case he makes will up if players are forced to

:11:57.:12:01.

walk of off-field because of racist abuse, they should be supported.

:12:01.:12:05.

They should go to the referee and ask for an intercession and if the

:12:05.:12:08.

referee does not do anything and it is intolerable and the player

:12:08.:12:12.

things, I'm not playing in these circumstances and walks off, they

:12:12.:12:17.

will be booked according to Uefa, but they should be backed. You

:12:17.:12:20.

can't play in those circumstances. We are going to talk to Clarke

:12:20.:12:24.

Carlisle from the PFA later. started quite well in the first few

:12:24.:12:29.

games but that does not appear to be a problem so far for club this

:12:29.:12:34.

is a great issues for MPs to get behind at the moment. There is also

:12:34.:12:40.

a political question. The opposition leader in the Ukraine is

:12:40.:12:44.

in prison. The British Government has a peculiar position where they

:12:44.:12:47.

are not going to go there for the group stages but if England get

:12:47.:12:52.

through they might go for the later ones. A very strange position.

:12:52.:12:55.

That's more to do with the fact that if we get through and those

:12:55.:13:00.

matches were in Poland, but they wouldn't have an issue. Your next

:13:00.:13:03.

Tory. If you're feeling a bit depressed do not buy the

:13:03.:13:09.

Independent on Sunday today. If you do, make sure you have taken Prozac

:13:09.:13:15.

first. Celebrate your big day as if it's your last. You are likely to

:13:15.:13:21.

die on your birthday. Is the end of the world coming? This is

:13:21.:13:24.

everything which is going on in America summed up in one very

:13:24.:13:29.

depressing headline. And when your Olympic dream dies, you face the

:13:29.:13:33.

nightmare alone, a sad story about people who win Olympic medals and

:13:33.:13:38.

then a left bereft afterwards for the it's true. All problems in the

:13:38.:13:42.

world, I think I could cope with that one. It has to be said the

:13:42.:13:47.

Independent on Sunday has a very, very downbeat feeling this morning.

:13:47.:13:54.

We need some royal stories. Jubilee coverage is still going on. But

:13:54.:13:58.

they don't do that so they have to fill it up with terrible stories.

:13:58.:14:02.

lot of Sunday newspapers don't have a very many old fashioned reporters

:14:02.:14:08.

left two to go out and get stories. They will be looking at Huffington

:14:08.:14:16.

Post thinking... How many actual journalists have you got? 23. A lot

:14:16.:14:21.

of papers would love that. Most of them are reporting but we also have

:14:21.:14:26.

a blog team because that's a big part of the Huffington Post. 3,000

:14:26.:14:36.
:14:36.:14:38.

people. That is more opinion led things. 3,000 opinions? Yes, 3,000.

:14:38.:14:44.

Maybe that's the future. Government's pull your socks up

:14:44.:14:49.

merchant, Eric Pickles, is using West Side story to get into the

:14:49.:14:55.

question of problem families. They blame their parents and their

:14:55.:14:58.

background for everything. He says they've had it far too easy and we

:14:58.:15:03.

have to stop being so correct about them and start hitting them hard up.

:15:03.:15:08.

Not literally, I hope. I don't know. The interesting thing about this,

:15:08.:15:13.

there is a serious problem, and what the Government is trying to do

:15:14.:15:18.

is pay by the results they get and that the interesting thing for a

:15:18.:15:23.

policy point of view. Getting people to work? Yes, or getting

:15:23.:15:27.

children to read better, you set up a measure and you only get paid if

:15:27.:15:32.

you improve things. It's difficult to work out a child's reading

:15:32.:15:36.

standards and pay some body for that. It's difficult. The devil is

:15:36.:15:40.

in trying to work out what it is that Marx and bodies improvement.

:15:40.:15:44.

It's not impossible. It's intriguing that what they are

:15:44.:15:46.

trying to do because governments for years have tried to deal with

:15:46.:15:53.

this. Problem families. They used to be 250,000 of them in and now

:15:54.:15:58.

they are saying it's half that. However many you get, they do

:15:58.:16:02.

commit the vast majority of crime, so he's not wrong to think there is

:16:02.:16:09.

a serious problem here. OK. We're running out of time it so let's go

:16:09.:16:19.
:16:19.:16:23.

It is a big week for the Leveson Inquiry. We keep saying it is a big

:16:23.:16:26.

week for that, which seems to have been rolling on forever, but we

:16:26.:16:33.

have David Cameron. Everybody will be watching on Wednesday. Will he

:16:33.:16:38.

get tripped up? The trilby an interesting few days. The renting

:16:38.:16:42.

story, we have mentioned already briefly, but we should acknowledge

:16:42.:16:47.

that many people will have to rent. There is a fascinating picture you

:16:47.:16:52.

have picked up. This is the flag as it might look if Scotland became

:16:52.:16:58.

independent, and the interesting thing here is not only is the

:16:58.:17:02.

Scottish move gone, but the Welsh dragon is inserted. At the moment

:17:02.:17:08.

the Union Jack does not include the dragon because it was considered a

:17:08.:17:12.

principality, but in the new design them as a Welsh dragon in the

:17:12.:17:18.

bottom corner. It seems very sad when our streets are festooned with

:17:18.:17:23.

Union Jack bunting. Unfortunately the sexual depravity of penguins is

:17:23.:17:29.

one of the stories we are unable to bring you. You will have to read

:17:29.:17:37.

the newspapers yourself. With whales underwater, heavy wind

:17:37.:17:44.

on Friday, and even where it isn't raining of brisk feel to the air,

:17:44.:17:53.

are we doomed to miss another It is another week of that to be

:17:53.:17:57.

honest. Even though some of you have some sunny weather at the

:17:57.:18:02.

moment, there will be more showers brewing in the UK today. Thicker

:18:02.:18:06.

cloud in the south of England, which is producing a few spots of

:18:06.:18:12.

rain, which will turn heavier and more persistent through the day.

:18:12.:18:16.

North of that, we continue with some sunny spells across northern

:18:16.:18:22.

England. Through the afternoon, northern England and central

:18:22.:18:32.
:18:32.:18:35.

southern Scotland will have some heavy down -- downpours.

:18:35.:18:42.

Temperatures will stay up at about 12 degrees Celsius. For the return

:18:42.:18:50.

to work and school, it is wet across southern England. Some

:18:50.:18:54.

showers possible in the north, not as many as we saw in the weekend,

:18:54.:19:01.

but temperatures will be struggling to 16 degrees at the best. The week

:19:01.:19:07.

will be cool with showers, even longer spells of rain at times.

:19:07.:19:12.

The eurozone remains on the brink, but are we listening closely enough

:19:12.:19:18.

to the drivers in the economy? Sir Terry Leahy made Tesco the third

:19:18.:19:23.

largest retailer and at its peak the company took one in every �7

:19:23.:19:27.

spent on the UK high street, but since then it has had troubles of

:19:27.:19:32.

its own. What is his assessment of the current turmoil? A massive

:19:32.:19:37.

amount of worry about the economy in general, just give your headline

:19:37.:19:40.

in general, just give your headline thoughts on that to start with.

:19:40.:19:44.

It has been a very difficult period because there has been a double

:19:44.:19:48.

whammy - the financial crisis itself would be very difficult to

:19:48.:19:53.

recover from on its own, and you are seeing the problems in Europe,

:19:53.:19:58.

but beneath that the oil price since 2010 has nearly doubled. By

:19:58.:20:05.

some measures, that alone would not nearly 3% off growth, so Paul

:20:05.:20:08.

Western economies are struggling to manage these things at the same

:20:08.:20:15.

time. It is difficult for one economy to break free, but if I was

:20:15.:20:20.

George Osborne what would you be telling me to do? I think the broad

:20:20.:20:25.

plan is right. You have got to keep the confidence of the markets.

:20:25.:20:29.

Governments have been trying to do too much, they have got to spend a

:20:29.:20:33.

little less, but beneath that we have got a look at how economies

:20:33.:20:43.
:20:43.:20:44.

grow and win need the government to do a little less, but will also

:20:44.:20:50.

spend in investment because that increases capacity for growth.

:20:50.:20:53.

about employment and social mobility? You famously started from

:20:53.:21:01.

the bottom, you literally got on a bike and you started packing

:21:01.:21:10.

shelves. Is that happening enough these days to the 15 year-old Terry

:21:10.:21:14.

Leahys out there? I see a lot of bright kids starting businesses but

:21:14.:21:22.

it doesn't have -- happen enough. I had the greater advantage of

:21:22.:21:27.

getting a scholarship to a grammar school, and that catapulted me into

:21:27.:21:32.

the big wide world. That is harder to do now, and for the people from

:21:32.:21:38.

poorer backgrounds, they do need a leg up to get into society. Let's

:21:38.:21:43.

talk about Tesco, where you have brought a massive growth, but some

:21:43.:21:53.
:21:53.:22:00.

people think it is too successful. A lot of family businesses are

:22:00.:22:05.

crowded out by Tesco. What do you say to that view? It is

:22:05.:22:09.

controversial, and it is important to have a debate about how Tesco

:22:09.:22:16.

has been successful. Tesco was not created by diktat of legislation,

:22:16.:22:21.

Tesco grew because customers shop there, and they do have a choice.

:22:21.:22:27.

Everybody has a choice, so if Tesco stopped looking after the customer

:22:27.:22:32.

and creating benefit, then customers can and do go elsewhere.

:22:32.:22:37.

Do you feel in any sense queasy about what has happened to so many

:22:37.:22:42.

high streets? Because they have been hollowed out with a lot of

:22:42.:22:47.

charity shops and traditional businesses closing. It is a problem

:22:47.:22:51.

because some of the high streets are medieval, Victorian, and they

:22:51.:22:56.

were designed for a different economy. They have to change as

:22:57.:23:01.

people shop and the way they live their lives changed. Just look at

:23:01.:23:11.
:23:11.:23:11.

the internet. By some estimates, a third of non-food purchases will be

:23:11.:23:16.

on the internet in a few years' time. We have got to make high

:23:16.:23:21.

streets more attractive places to beat and spend time. Since you left,

:23:21.:23:26.

Tesco has had a tough time. The first profits warning for a long

:23:27.:23:32.

time, and some people say you saw it coming and got out in time, some

:23:32.:23:37.

people say your successors have messed things up. Which is it?

:23:37.:23:42.

Neither. Any business will show wear and tear coming through the

:23:42.:23:48.

recession, but remember Tesco is very strong and profitable. It has

:23:48.:23:56.

a very good market position, it is a British success story. The

:23:56.:24:00.

recovery is coming and they are investing ahead of the record to

:24:00.:24:05.

improve the customer offer. So you would have done nothing different,

:24:05.:24:09.

have you stayed on? It is hard to know but I suspect I would have

:24:09.:24:15.

been doing the same thing. Remember, this is a very competitive market,

:24:16.:24:22.

and competitors don't sit around making it easy. Half the employees

:24:22.:24:29.

are now outside the UK, a big expansion outside, will that be the

:24:29.:24:34.

future? One of the big questions seems to be how we are going to

:24:34.:24:38.

make our way in the world, what we will be good at. Do you think

:24:39.:24:48.
:24:49.:24:49.

retail, the export of retailing ideas, is a wealth maker? I do, and

:24:49.:24:52.

the British retail industry is probably the best in the world, and

:24:52.:24:57.

we are one of the leaders on e- commerce now, the new industry. We

:24:57.:25:02.

should go out around the world and compete, find the best and see if

:25:02.:25:07.

we can learn from them and take them on. That is the future for the

:25:07.:25:13.

British economy, to engage more in markets like Asia and Latin America.

:25:13.:25:18.

In your book you go through a series of things that are important.

:25:18.:25:21.

If you were singling out one message for people to take away

:25:21.:25:26.

from your book, what would it be? Truth, because you have got to find

:25:26.:25:31.

out what is going on around you and face up to the difficult questions.

:25:31.:25:38.

If you can do that, the problem is half solved. What is ahead for you?

:25:38.:25:43.

I am still in business but now I invest in smaller start-up

:25:43.:25:50.

businesses and help them to grow, and that is what the economy.

:25:50.:25:54.

you. As England prepare for their

:25:54.:25:58.

opening Euro 2012 match in the Ukraine tomorrow, the conduct of

:25:58.:26:02.

local supporters threatens to overshadow the football itself. The

:26:02.:26:06.

Dutch players found themselves abused by local spectators when

:26:06.:26:11.

they were training this week, and now the footballers who respond to

:26:11.:26:16.

racist chanting by walking off will get into trouble themselves, so how

:26:16.:26:22.

should they react? Clarke Carlisle is chairman of the Professional

:26:22.:26:27.

Footballers' Association. Thank you for coming in. How seriously do you

:26:27.:26:31.

think we should be taking these warnings of major racist abuse

:26:31.:26:36.

coming from the terraces in the Ukraine? I think we need to take

:26:36.:26:43.

them very seriously because I was in Poland myself four weeks ago,

:26:43.:26:50.

went to the Krakow Derby, and had first-hand experience of racist

:26:50.:26:56.

abuse, hooliganism and anti- Semitism all in one game, not long

:26:56.:27:00.

after speaking to the chief of police who said there had been no

:27:00.:27:06.

reported incidents in the last 18 months. What we are being told and

:27:06.:27:11.

reported is vastly different. should players do? One politician

:27:11.:27:16.

this morning said if there is serious racist abuse, and the

:27:16.:27:22.

referee is not intervening, walk off. That is the order of play, I

:27:22.:27:27.

think. If you can see the officials are not handling the situation, you

:27:27.:27:36.

are well within your rights to walk off the pitch. We don't want any

:27:36.:27:40.

discrimination in football, so this will be a real test of UEFA to see

:27:40.:27:44.

if they have empowered their officials to take control of these

:27:44.:27:49.

situations. If the referee has stopped the game and it is the few

:27:49.:27:54.

individuals, they are being sorted out, then you would be happy

:27:54.:27:59.

because you know what is being dealt with. If not, England players

:27:59.:28:03.

should walk off? If it happened to me, I would want to walk off the

:28:04.:28:10.

pitch because I don't think anybody should be abused in their workplace.

:28:10.:28:13.

If UEFA saying you will be disciplined if you do, that is not

:28:13.:28:19.

an acceptable response? Their remit is obviously to hope that their

:28:19.:28:24.

officials are taking control of it so they are speaking in the thought

:28:24.:28:28.

process that the referee has taken control of it and that will be the

:28:28.:28:33.

ultimate test. If they are, the players won't have to walk off the

:28:33.:28:37.

pitch. We have had trouble in this country as well and there has been

:28:37.:28:42.

a lot of controversy about the fact Rio Ferdinand has not been selected

:28:42.:28:46.

this time. We have had the England manager speaking out about it this

:28:46.:28:51.

morning. What is your take on that? It is fantastic Roy Hodgson has

:28:51.:28:55.

spoken about it this morning because hopefully that will have

:28:55.:29:00.

put to bed some rumours flying around about this. He has

:29:00.:29:04.

categorically stated that Rio Ferdinand was not in the back up

:29:04.:29:08.

group of players to be selected so it was nothing to do with the

:29:08.:29:13.

ongoing situation, and that is what was necessary. We needed some

:29:13.:29:18.

transparency, we needed someone to come out and say the reasons why he

:29:18.:29:26.

was not selected. Even non-football experts like myself know there are

:29:26.:29:32.

issued a number of injuries hitting the England team in particular. Do

:29:32.:29:35.

you think it is the case that the length of the season and having

:29:35.:29:42.

missed at the end, be a large just exhausted and overtired, and that

:29:42.:29:47.

is a structural issue that needs to be looked at? This has been mooted

:29:47.:29:52.

on many occasions, before every major championships we have had

:29:52.:29:56.

over the last 20 years, and it definitely is a possibility. It is

:29:56.:30:02.

a long season, especially for the elite players, playing up words of

:30:03.:30:07.

16 games this season, in Europe, domestically and internationally.

:30:07.:30:12.

It is a demanding season, but if we did bring in some kind of a winter

:30:12.:30:17.

break, it would only serve to condense the amount of time we play

:30:17.:30:21.

these games in. The only answer would be to cut down the amount of

:30:21.:30:26.

games played in a season, which in the capitalistic way the game is

:30:26.:30:35.

nowadays, it won't happen. Not too exhausted to come to speak to us.

:30:35.:30:39.

David Suchet is loved by millions of people for his portrayal of

:30:39.:30:44.

Agatha Christie's detective Hercule Poirot, a role he has been

:30:44.:30:48.

perfecting for more than 20 years. He is a superb theatre actor as

:30:48.:30:55.

well, currently starring in the West End American classic French

:30:55.:31:05.
:31:05.:31:10.

dint alcohol, pain and guilt. I You seemed a bit high strung?

:31:10.:31:14.

have nonsense in your imagination and you really must not watch me

:31:14.:31:19.

all the time, James, it makes me self-conscious. Now, that's your

:31:19.:31:25.

imagination. And if I have watched you, it was to admire how beautiful

:31:25.:31:32.

you looked. I can't tell you the deep happiness it gives me to see

:31:32.:31:37.

you as you have been since you came back to us. Your dear old self

:31:37.:31:47.
:31:47.:31:47.

again. And David Suchet is with me. Welcome. What we were seeing their,

:31:47.:31:53.

the reason he is watching her so carefully is an underlying theme,

:31:53.:31:57.

she has had a serious morphine addiction. And this business about

:31:57.:32:02.

being fat, he hopes she's getting over it. Yes, he is in denial,

:32:02.:32:08.

really. He has been noticing that she has been tense for the past few

:32:08.:32:13.

days and, historically, for 25 years, she has been addicted to

:32:13.:32:22.

morphine. Due to pain in childbirth, she was given morphine and he was

:32:22.:32:26.

responsible for not paying for a good doctor, so he feels guilty.

:32:26.:32:34.

Your character is an actor. He has been too cowardly to be the best

:32:34.:32:37.

actor he could be and has taken a role which has been to lucrative in

:32:38.:32:43.

a travelling production. Yes, he saw the equivalent of what a young

:32:43.:32:47.

actor could now see in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre Company doing

:32:47.:32:53.

really serious drama and suddenly Hollywood comes knocking and you go

:32:53.:32:57.

for the big money. In those days, the big money was a really good

:32:57.:33:02.

part in a theatre play, so he was a Shakespearean actor, and we are

:33:02.:33:08.

talking about this play being seven autobiography for -- semi

:33:08.:33:12.

autobiographical because Eugene O'Neill, it's a mirror image of his

:33:12.:33:16.

father. He took the role of the Count of Monte Christow and gave up

:33:16.:33:20.

Shakespeare. He wouldn't allow the pay to be shown in his lifetime

:33:20.:33:28.

because it is too painful. And I was just thinking, there's every

:33:28.:33:32.

way we can match -- a mess up our lives, addiction, alcohol,

:33:33.:33:38.

cowardice, cruelty, it's all there in one family, very intense. It's

:33:38.:33:42.

extremely intense and very, very hard and demanding but it's the

:33:42.:33:49.

only place I have ever been in that I read that Eugene O'Neill never

:33:49.:33:54.

intended to put on stage and he only wanted published a 25 years

:33:54.:34:02.

after his death. He was using this played, his method of writing drama,

:34:02.:34:06.

as an exorcism for getting on to paper the tragedy of his own life

:34:06.:34:12.

and family. We will talk about Hercule Poirot in a moment but you

:34:12.:34:16.

have had such a successful career on television. What is it about

:34:16.:34:20.

putting yourself through something like this which is clearly

:34:20.:34:24.

addictive because it's not the first time you will put yourself in

:34:24.:34:30.

a really long, tough, American play. I don't know. I find myself playing

:34:30.:34:38.

so many American roles on stage. I think because it really fall fails

:34:38.:34:44.

the pure equation of why I became an actor, to be the mouthpiece for

:34:44.:34:49.

playwrights in the theatre. Without them, actors would not have a voice

:34:49.:34:55.

and some of the greatest voices are from really big dramatic plays.

:34:55.:35:00.

none more so than this one. You're doing the final series of Hercule

:35:00.:35:06.

Poirot. We start in October. This is going to be quite a

:35:06.:35:10.

heartbreaking moment, not only for the fans watching but I guess for

:35:10.:35:14.

yourself, because you haven't lived with this man and adapted the

:35:14.:35:19.

character over the years and developed it and so on are. Do you

:35:20.:35:29.

feel a bereavement? Yes, I will feel that. I will feel very pleased

:35:29.:35:35.

that I have accomplished the complete canon of work. Every novel,

:35:35.:35:39.

short story that Agatha Christie ever wrote involving Hercule Poirot

:35:39.:35:45.

will have been performed by you. Yes, on July 15th, I will do a play

:35:45.:35:50.

Reading at the Chichester Festival of the only play Agatha Christie

:35:50.:35:54.

wrote for him as well, black coffee. There are no more stories by Agatha

:35:54.:36:01.

Christie. And so I will be putting him to bed and that's a very

:36:01.:36:07.

strange feeling for me. Your film and has backwards, I understand?

:36:07.:36:16.

It's the last story and it means that it's the last story. The book

:36:16.:36:20.

is called Curtain falls of it doesn't do the big imagination to

:36:20.:36:24.

work at what happens. We were going to that last but thought about it

:36:24.:36:28.

carefully have thought, no, it's got to come first because then I

:36:28.:36:33.

don't have to leave, nearly a quarter of a century of playing

:36:33.:36:38.

this man, and having to literally bury him and trying to deal with

:36:38.:36:42.

that, so we are doing that one first and I can leave him while

:36:42.:36:48.

he's still alive. How long does it take to do this? I will be on from

:36:48.:36:53.

October, on and off, through to the end of 20th July 13. It's going to

:36:53.:36:59.

be quite an emotional roller- coaster. Yes, it will be an

:36:59.:37:03.

extraordinary year. I will never forget it. Well listen, thank you

:37:03.:37:07.

very much. A great pleasure. Before the last election, the Prime

:37:08.:37:10.

minister David Cameron made a pledge. We'll reduce the annual

:37:10.:37:14.

rate of immigration to tens of thousands. Two years into his

:37:14.:37:18.

Premiership, he might be wishing he hadn't. Annual net migration in the

:37:18.:37:23.

year to September was a quarter of a million. Almost identical to the

:37:23.:37:30.

year before. 25 tens of millions. This morning, the Home Secretary

:37:30.:37:33.

Theresa May is unveiling new plans to make it harder to bring in

:37:33.:37:36.

foreign relatives, and make it easier to deport foreign criminals.

:37:36.:37:42.

But will the judges play along? Mrs May joins me now. Welcome. Good

:37:42.:37:48.

morning. Let's talk about the most important of these measures, which

:37:48.:37:52.

is to break -- greatly increase the amount of income you have to have

:37:52.:37:59.

to bring in a migrant husband or wife or children. If you want to

:37:59.:38:03.

bring in relatives, explained to us how the new system will work.

:38:03.:38:06.

Perhaps I could set it in the context of the wider issue of net

:38:06.:38:11.

migration. We want to reduce it to tens of thousands and we have said,

:38:11.:38:17.

in doing that, we would look at every aspect of immigration, non e

:38:17.:38:22.

u economic migrants, student visas and settlements, and now family,

:38:22.:38:26.

and this is not just about the numbers in terms of family because

:38:26.:38:29.

we think it's right that somebody who wants to bring some body into

:38:29.:38:35.

the UK to join them as a partner, should be able to support them

:38:35.:38:38.

financially at not be bringing them in on the basis they are going to

:38:38.:38:42.

be reliant on the state and that's... How much money do need to

:38:43.:38:49.

have to bring a husband or wife in? �18,600. We ask our advisory

:38:49.:38:53.

committee to look at the figures and to advise as as to what that

:38:53.:38:58.

could be. They set a range and we have chosen at the lower end of the

:38:58.:39:03.

range, the point people would normally not be reliant on benefits.

:39:03.:39:11.

We think that is an important point. What about children, aunts and

:39:11.:39:15.

uncles and grannies and so on? relation to children, we think it

:39:15.:39:24.

right that the income should be increased for each child, so one

:39:24.:39:34.

child, 22,400 pound, and then 2,400 pound for every other child each. I

:39:34.:39:36.

think that's right. It's important that if people are bringing people

:39:36.:39:42.

into the UK to create a family, we say that you should be able to

:39:42.:39:47.

support yourselves and not be reliant on the state. There is a

:39:47.:39:52.

British test you are going to bring in as well. Yes, it's not just

:39:52.:39:56.

about numbers but also about looking at people being able to

:39:56.:40:00.

support themselves in the UK and integrate into society also we

:40:00.:40:03.

think that's important so for settlement from next year, we

:40:03.:40:07.

expect people to be able to speak English to a certain level,

:40:07.:40:12.

understand English, and also to do a life in the UK test, so we know

:40:13.:40:17.

they can integrate and become part of society here. What we are doing

:40:17.:40:21.

in terms of family migration is not just about those aspects. It's also

:40:21.:40:28.

about this issue called article 8. I want to come on to that. The

:40:28.:40:32.

right to family life in the human rights legislation but before we do

:40:32.:40:38.

that, you must have seen estimates in your department about what these

:40:38.:40:44.

measures will do in terms of net immigration. How many fewer

:40:44.:40:47.

immigrants do you expect to come into this country as a result?

:40:47.:40:54.

is not big numbers, the family migration, not just about numbers

:40:54.:40:59.

for family migration. It's about setting out clearly the rules in

:40:59.:41:03.

relation to article 8, but also about some important principles

:41:03.:41:08.

about people being able to support themselves so it's not in itself

:41:08.:41:12.

about numbers because the large numbers, what makes the major

:41:12.:41:18.

difference in terms of the overall net migration is student visas.

:41:18.:41:22.

and has been altered issues around that. Let's talk odd article 8,

:41:22.:41:26.

which affects people who you want to remove from the country but

:41:26.:41:30.

can't remove at the moment because they are going to court and saying

:41:30.:41:34.

I have a right to family life, I have married his person, I have

:41:34.:41:40.

this child, and whatever I have done as a criminal in this country,

:41:40.:41:45.

you can't get rid of me. problem is, article 8 is in the

:41:45.:41:48.

European Convention on Human Rights and if you look at it, there are

:41:48.:41:52.

two parts, the first saying you are right to a family life and the

:41:52.:41:57.

second says that actually, governments unqualified are right.

:41:57.:42:01.

It's not an absolute right, so in the interests of the economy and

:42:01.:42:05.

controlling migration, public order and those sort of issues, the state

:42:05.:42:09.

has a ride to qualify this right to family life. What has been

:42:09.:42:13.

happening up until now, we have seen cases going to court where

:42:13.:42:19.

criminals who we want to deport have been able to stay in the UK

:42:19.:42:23.

because the courts have said, you have a right to family life. And

:42:23.:42:27.

they haven't been qualifying it, even in the way the European

:42:27.:42:30.

Convention enabled them to do. I'm going to set out the rules which

:42:30.:42:35.

says this is what the public and Parliament believe is how you

:42:35.:42:40.

balance the public interest against the individual. You get a

:42:40.:42:45.

parliamentary vote, a lot of lawyers say that this is absolutely

:42:45.:42:52.

not the job of MPs or commentators of any kind and judges make

:42:52.:42:55.

distinctions of this kind, interpret the law, and they will

:42:55.:43:00.

carry on doing that in the way they see fit no matter what motion goes

:43:00.:43:06.

through Parliament. It also been said by some in the legal

:43:06.:43:08.

profession but one of the problems in interpreting it at the moment is

:43:08.:43:11.

that Parliament has an been clear enough about what it believes the

:43:11.:43:19.

right to family life is, and Parliament is going to set that out

:43:19.:43:23.

and ask parliament to vote on this to say very clearly what we think

:43:23.:43:30.

constitutes the right to family life. Will judge us carry on as

:43:30.:43:35.

before? We balance the interests of the public and the individual. I

:43:35.:43:41.

expect judges will look at what Parliament says and will follow and

:43:41.:43:44.

take into account what Parliament has said. If they don't, we will

:43:45.:43:49.

have to look at other measures including primary legislation.

:43:49.:43:54.

Given that we are signatories to this Act, this international

:43:54.:43:59.

agreement, it's impossible, isn't it, for Parliament to change the

:43:59.:44:03.

effective law when it comes to this? The parliament is not

:44:03.:44:08.

changing it. What are we will ask parliament to do is to set out the

:44:08.:44:11.

qualifications which we are entitled to set out under the

:44:11.:44:15.

European Convention itself and one of the interesting things is, if

:44:15.:44:18.

you look of the cases we have seen, there some instances with the

:44:18.:44:23.

European Court has been tougher than our own courts, for example we

:44:23.:44:28.

tend not to look at whether some body has been here for a number of

:44:28.:44:32.

years lawfully or illegally, whereas the European Court takes a

:44:32.:44:37.

tougher view on those who have built up rights over a number of

:44:37.:44:40.

years and have been hit illegally. They say we should pay less

:44:40.:44:43.

attention to that so we are taking what is in the Convention itself

:44:43.:44:48.

and saying it's right we apply this in Parliament. This does not get

:44:48.:44:53.

big numbers, I think it's important to do this in article 8 but in

:44:53.:44:57.

terms of net migration overall, we are seeing differences in student

:44:57.:45:07.
:45:07.:45:14.

Ken Clarke, Justice Secretary backing this? Yes, he has agreed to

:45:14.:45:20.

it. A lot of people think, as we go through the meltdown in the euro,

:45:20.:45:25.

and really intense problems in a lot of southern European economies,

:45:25.:45:31.

we will see a lot of internal migration coming from Europe. If

:45:31.:45:37.

that happens at a dramatic level, what can you do about it? We are

:45:37.:45:43.

looking at contingency arrangements. So far we are not seeing a trend in

:45:43.:45:47.

increased movement, despite significant problems already in a

:45:47.:45:51.

number of eurozone countries, but it is right that we look at the

:45:51.:45:58.

contingency arrangements that might be needed. What could you do if you

:45:58.:46:02.

are worried? The whole point of doing the work is to look to see

:46:02.:46:07.

what it would be possible to do, and what it would be appropriate to

:46:07.:46:11.

do in certain circumstances. I will not make any judgments at this

:46:11.:46:17.

stage, but it is right to look at it properly. Talking to you as a

:46:17.:46:21.

leading Conservative member of the Cabinet, rather than Home Secretary,

:46:21.:46:26.

what is your view about the referendum issue? If, as appears

:46:27.:46:32.

now quite likely, the eurozone takes deeper measures, brings

:46:32.:46:38.

itself closer together and create a stronger Corps, that will break the

:46:38.:46:42.

effect of what Europe means and affect our relationship with the

:46:42.:46:47.

rest of the EU. Many Conservatives feel that at that moment the

:46:47.:46:51.

promise of a referendum can no longer be ignored. We have done

:46:51.:46:59.

something no government has done previously. we passed an Act of

:46:59.:47:04.

Parliament saying that if there is a treaty taking powers from Britain

:47:04.:47:08.

to Brussels, there will be a referendum, and we think that is

:47:08.:47:13.

important. We don't know what will come out of the current discussions.

:47:13.:47:18.

But you are watching this like a hawk and you mussy that is the way

:47:18.:47:23.

things are moving. We have been very clear for some time, and

:47:23.:47:27.

George Osborne has reiterated that today, that we think for the

:47:27.:47:31.

countries in the eurozone there is an inevitability about them having

:47:31.:47:41.

more a -- collective responsibility. And that means inevitably changes

:47:41.:47:45.

to the arrangements, which inevitably would trigger a

:47:45.:47:49.

referendum, no? We don't know what changes to the arrangements it

:47:49.:47:57.

means. As I say, we have been very clear in the legislation that if

:47:57.:48:01.

they raise a treaty that requires powers to go from Britain to

:48:01.:48:05.

Brussels, there will be a referendum. Would you like to see

:48:05.:48:10.

that happen? Do you think it is fair to give people in this country

:48:10.:48:15.

to another vote? I think we should do what we said we would do, which

:48:15.:48:19.

is that if we see powers being passed from Britain to Brussels,

:48:19.:48:23.

the British people should have their say. That is what we have

:48:23.:48:28.

said and that is what is right so let's see what comes out of this.

:48:28.:48:33.

The suggested appointment of Tom Windsor to oversee the police is

:48:33.:48:37.

causing fury among many police officers because they also regard

:48:37.:48:41.

him as the person who has been trying to rewrite their terms of

:48:41.:48:47.

service, and to put it bluntly is a bit of an enemy. Are you picking a

:48:47.:48:50.

fight deliberately with the Police Federation because you are

:48:50.:48:55.

determined to change the police once and for all? I are not picking

:48:55.:49:01.

a fight. The current chief inspector, Sir Denis O'Connor, who

:49:01.:49:07.

has been outstanding, has been gradually moving... He was a

:49:07.:49:12.

policeman. Yes, he has been moving the inspectorate to be more

:49:12.:49:17.

independent and the body whose job it is should be independent of

:49:17.:49:22.

government and independent of the service. Within the inspectorate,

:49:22.:49:25.

you have a mix already have people who have policing backgrounds and

:49:25.:49:31.

people who don't. What is it about Tom Windsor, lawyer, rail regulator,

:49:31.:49:37.

who makes him the best candidate to do this policing job? There was a

:49:37.:49:43.

proper process, we didn't look him out of thin air. The number of

:49:43.:49:47.

people applied, went through interviews, and in the final

:49:47.:49:55.

interviews, which were conducted by myself and the policing minister

:49:55.:50:00.

Nick Herbert, we felt he was the best candidate. Does it worry you

:50:00.:50:06.

that the policing profession and feel so angry about this? We want

:50:06.:50:15.

someone who can be completely independent. What is important is

:50:15.:50:20.

that we have an inspectorate that does challenge... But does it worry

:50:20.:50:26.

you that the profession are quite so angry? Are want to see an

:50:26.:50:30.

inspector that is independent, and I spoke to police officers across

:50:30.:50:36.

all ranks about the changes, and I recognise that the police are

:50:37.:50:41.

seeing a lot happening in terms of their pay and conditions, but what

:50:41.:50:49.

we are doing is are establishing policing where we are giving more

:50:49.:50:52.

discretion and responsibility to individual police officers, giving

:50:52.:50:57.

public accountability through the elected crime commissioners, and we

:50:57.:51:01.

are making of the inspectorate more independent. It will report to

:51:01.:51:06.

Parliament in the future, rather than just to the government.

:51:06.:51:10.

you are not worried that you are putting in somebody with no

:51:10.:51:14.

policing experience, infuriating the police, ahead of a very

:51:14.:51:19.

stressful summer, the Olympics not least? You say we are putting

:51:19.:51:23.

somebody in charge of the police, the inspectorate is not in charge

:51:23.:51:29.

of the police. Each chief constable continues to have independence in

:51:30.:51:37.

their area. The crime commissioner will give local people a voice,

:51:37.:51:40.

give the democratic accountability that we have promised people we

:51:40.:51:45.

would give, and the inspectorate's role is being changed by the

:51:45.:51:49.

legislation we have passed, reporting to Parliament rather than

:51:49.:51:55.

government, and its job is to shine a light on policing generally.

:51:56.:51:59.

mentioned the Olympics. The terrible queues that built up at

:51:59.:52:03.

Heathrow have been a national embarrassment. Will you be carrying

:52:03.:52:07.

on with an insistence that everybody is fully checked as they

:52:07.:52:17.

come in, or will you allow a more common sense risk based approach?

:52:17.:52:21.

There are two parts to your question. We have arrangements

:52:21.:52:26.

specifically for the Olympics, we have been opening more desks at

:52:26.:52:30.

airports, particularly Heathrow, and we have been seeing the queues

:52:30.:52:34.

coming down so we are not seeing the sort of lengths of queues we

:52:34.:52:40.

were seeing a few weeks ago so we have taken action already. I have

:52:40.:52:44.

always said I am not against risk based checks but they need to be

:52:44.:52:47.

based on evidence and we need to have that evidence to make sure

:52:47.:52:52.

what we are doing is right because border security is paramount.

:52:52.:52:57.

over to Naga for the news headlines. The Home Secretary says judges will

:52:57.:53:01.

be given new guidelines making it more difficult for foreign

:53:01.:53:06.

criminals to escape deportation from the UK by invoking human

:53:06.:53:10.

rights law. She said she wants the parliament to vote on tighter rules

:53:10.:53:14.

that would make clear to the courts that are right to family life does

:53:14.:53:18.

not automatically take precedence over other situations.

:53:18.:53:21.

The Chancellor, George Osborne, has warned that the debt crisis in the

:53:21.:53:23.

Eurozone is killing off Britain's chances of economic recovery. His

:53:23.:53:26.

comments in the Sunday Telegraph come as Spain announced it is

:53:26.:53:29.

seeking a bailout of up to �80 billion pounds from the eurozone to

:53:29.:53:32.

rescue its troubled banks. It's the fourth and by far the biggest

:53:32.:53:35.

country to ask for help. The move has been welcomed by officials in

:53:35.:53:41.

both Washington and Berlin. The chairman of the footballers

:53:41.:53:45.

union has told this programme that he would walk off if he was

:53:45.:53:50.

racially abused at Euro 2012. The Dutch team has already faced abuse

:53:50.:53:54.

during training sessions, but the European football chief has been

:53:54.:53:59.

warning that any player who walks off the pitch in protest will be

:53:59.:54:02.

given a yellow card. That's all from me for now. The

:54:02.:54:05.

next news on BBC One is at midday. Back to Andrew in just a moment,

:54:05.:54:11.

but first a look at what is coming up after the show. Today, did fear

:54:11.:54:17.

of being called racist stop us tackling forced marriage, and is it

:54:17.:54:24.

a crime? And do posh people have too much power? Our guests will

:54:24.:54:27.

argue that one out. She's known as the Queen of Indie

:54:27.:54:30.

Pop - famous for her mighty Voice and style that's been compared to

:54:31.:54:33.

Ophelia meets the Lady of Shalott. Florence Welch, who performs as

:54:33.:54:36.

Florence and the Machine, is about to embark on a season of music

:54:37.:54:46.
:54:47.:55:01.

# There is a drumming noise inside my head that starts when you are

:55:01.:55:07.

around. I swear you should hear it, it makes such a mighty sound.

:55:07.:55:14.

morning, Florence has popped in to see us. It has been an astonishing

:55:14.:55:18.

time for you because it is not long ago you were singing tiny venues

:55:18.:55:24.

and now you have this superstar status. The way it started was just

:55:24.:55:29.

from playing in pubs and clubs with an acoustic guitarist, and now I

:55:29.:55:34.

have these amazing moments with a full orchestra, playing the Albert

:55:34.:55:41.

Hall, and it is like oh wow! haven't managed to do that today.

:55:41.:55:47.

You will be singing something which is gentler, tell us about it.

:55:47.:55:53.

is a song called Breaking Down that was one of those songs that I

:55:53.:55:58.

started humming and the words came of their own accord, but it is one

:55:58.:56:02.

of the more introspective sad songs on the record, but I always wanted

:56:02.:56:07.

to make a sad song with a happy tune, which is what I am doing.

:56:07.:56:11.

will look forward to it very much. That's it for this week. I'll be

:56:11.:56:14.

back at the same time next Sunday, but for now I'll leave you with

:56:14.:56:17.

Florence and the Machine with their track Breaking Down from the album

:56:17.:56:20.

Ceremonials. From all the team here, enjoy the rest of the weekend.

:56:20.:56:30.
:56:30.:56:33.

All alone It was always there you see

:56:33.:56:43.
:56:43.:56:49.

And even on my own It was always standing next to me

:56:49.:56:52.

I can see it coming from the edge of the room

:56:52.:56:59.

Creeping in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom

:56:59.:57:09.

Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again

:57:09.:57:15.

Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone

:57:15.:57:25.
:57:25.:57:26.

Even when I was a child I've always known

:57:26.:57:34.

There was something to be frightened of

:57:34.:57:37.

And I can see you coming from the edge of the room

:57:37.:57:43.

Smiling in the streetlight Holding my hand in the pale gloom

:57:43.:57:49.

Can you see it coming now? Oh, I think I'm breaking down again

:57:49.:57:59.
:57:59.:58:06.

Oh, I think I'm breaking down All alone

:58:06.:58:08.

On the edge of sleep My old familiar friend

:58:08.:58:15.

Comes and lies down next to me And I can see you coming from the

:58:16.:58:20.

edge of the room Smiling in the streetlight

:58:20.:58:30.
:58:30.:58:31.
