Joining me now from Paris is our correspondent, Hugh Schofield.

What is the latest? I think the picture today is that things have

eased compared to yesterday. Yesterday was a national day of

action, so the strikes and protests and demonstrations were linked to

yesterday. Today, that action has been suspended. We still have the

petrol blockades. Blockades outside petrol refineries and so on. You're

obviously having trouble, we'll leave it. We will keep you updated

on the best advice is you are planning to travel to France this

weekend. We'll speak to some of the people who have been affected by the

shortages, later. Let us know if you have been affected. The usual ways

to get in touch. The leaders of the world's top seven

economies have said that a vote by the UK to leave

the European Union would pose In their final statement

from a two-day summit in Japan, the G7 warns that leaving

would reverse the trend of increased global trade,

investment, and jobs. Vote Leave campaigners have accused

the government of breaching the spirit of its own rules

by publishing analysis late last night suggesting millions of current

and future pensioners would be worse off if Britain

left the European Union. The publication says

basic state pensions would be worth at least ?137

a year less in real terms. Tell us more about the so-called

purdah period and why the Vote Leave amp a nose are annoyed about the

timing of the pensions analysis? The period kicked in at midnight and one

of -- what it effectively is, a period running up to the referendum

when the government cannot use the machinery of government to make its

case, it can't publish papers in support of remaining in the European

Union. It hasn't done that, but last night at 10pm it published a report

on the effect of leaving on pensioners. This was a follow-up to

the big report on the effects of leaving the EU that the government

published on Monday and what it said is that if there is a recession, a

shock to the economic system, if inflation goes up, asset prices go

down, pensioners will be affected. If you are on the state pension,

because of higher inflation, and if you have a workplace pension,

because share prices will go down. The Vote Leave amp a have come out

and attacked this as outrageous because they say that it is an

attempt to scare pensioners and they say that although the government

hasn't technically broken the rules, it has broken the spirit of the

rules by coming out with this last night so they can dominate the news

agenda for another day. David Cameron has had to declare that he

is not a closet Brexit fan, something he would not want to deal

with at this stage. This came from one of his closest political

advisers, Steve Hilton, who has been doing the rounds of TV studios

generating the City for a book he has written. He has said that if

David Cameron wasn't in ten Downing St he would be campaigning for

Britain to leave the European Union. So David Cameron, at the

International summit in Japan, has said that this is not the case, he

is not a closet Brexit fan, he is passionate about remaining in the

EU, but it is embarrassing for him nevertheless. Thank you for joining

us. President Obama is attending

a ceremony in the Japanese city of Hiroshima to remember

the 140,000 people who died when America dropped

an atomic bomb there in 1945. He's the first US President

to visit Hiroshima. Mr Obama has already made it clear

he won't be making an apology Joining me now from Hiroshima

is our correspondent Mariko Oi. What's happening, there has been

criticism of the visit from North Korea, and China, but what do Japan

and America hope to get from it? I think the clear message that the

visit sense to the world is that the two countries, once the enemies, are

now very strong allies. President Obama has left the US airbase about

15 minutes ago and is affected to arrive very shortly and should be

arriving in about 15, 20 minutes, to the peace Memorial Park just to the

left of me. Security is high, we are surrounded by police officers. Early

this morning we were broadcasting closer to the Dome, but security has

definitely tightened ahead of the President's arrival. Thank you for

joining us. David Cameron has announced that

a Royal Navy warship will be sent to the Mediterranean to help tackle

people and arms smuggling It will join the survey vessel HMS

Enterprise that's already on duty there and target boats smuggling

arms to so-called Islamic State, as our diplomatic correspondent,

James Landale explains. The Prime Minister described this

as a step forward in British naval At the moment, essentially

the British ships that are there are doing mainly search

and rescue for the migration ships, He wants that to move forward,

so he's going to send a warship to the region,

to help support that process of getting the Libyan government's

coastguard and navy up and running, so they can start stopping these

migration boats getting off But also he said he wants

this navy warship to get involved in something else,

and that is detecting and stopping boats that are transporting

and smuggling arms to so-called Islamic State fighters that

are operating on the The EU has to formally agree it,

the United Nations has to give it permission, but the Prime Minister

said it is in Britain's national interest that the UK supports

what he called the fledgling government in Libya,

to actually start trying to get control over the migration crisis,

which, as he said, is getting worse, but also to begin to put some

pressure on those Islamic State fighters operating off

the north coast of Libya. A British tourist has died

and another is missing after a speedboat capsized

near Koh Samui, in Thailand. The boat was carrying 32 passengers

and four crew when it hit a large Two other tourists also died and a

third British person was injured. Rescuers freed one woman by cutting

into the overturned hull. It's emerged that the accidental

deletion of fingerprint and DNA records of terrorism suspects

is almost twice as extensive In March it was announced that 450

profiles had been deleted from a police database

in England and Wales. But the Biometrics Commissioner now

says that the figure is over 800. The Home Office says steps

are being taken to fix the issue. An American hiker who was

lost on a remote part of the Appalachian Trail survived

for 26 days before she died from starvation and exposure,

newly released papers show. Geraldine Largay, who went missing

in 2013, sent text messages to her husband but they were never

sent because there was no signal. The 66 year old left a final note

asking whoever found her body to call her husband and daughter

to let them know she had died. That's a summary of

the latest BBC news. In the next half-hour,

we'll have tips on talking Do get in touch

with your experiences. Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning. Today it is the story of waiting for

I am more than content that he will handle that situation. I would have

preferred, I suppose, in some ways, to have avoided all of the headlines

that will come with a debut at such a young age, after such a meteoric

rise. But I can't do that without either lying, or trying to disguise

my intentions in some kind of fog, and I don't want to do that either.

Olympic boxing champion Nicola Adams is into the final of the

she's on the of success after beating her opponent on points in

catching drugs cheats. Earlier this week it was revealed

that samples taken from the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing showed

positive tests for 14 Adlington says it's important

for athletes to be able As an athlete, you don't want to

stand up to somebody -- stand up next to somebody on the block and

think that you can't win. That must be an awful feeling for an athlete.

We're always trying to play catch up with the drug cheats and we need to

a way to find people cheating and pinpoint them and have a severe

enough consequence as well. There needs to be Olympic bans as well.

And lifetime bans. We will be back shortly

with the sport headlines and maybe just maybe,

that Jose move will We will see Jose's best bits just

after 10. Ten years ago, journalist

Roberto Saviano published a book It was a decision that

would see his life The book itself, an expose

of the inner workings of the Mafia It was translated into 54 languages,

and made into an acclaimed film. But it's proved a life

sentence for Saviano himself First, though, here is

more about his story. Matthew Price has been speaking

to Roberto Saviano about his life ten years on from when he first

exposed Mafia secrets. Roberto Saviano,

thank you for coming. Ten years ago, you did what really

nobody else had been brave enough to do, you wrote a book that exposed

the brutality of the organised Most Italians - maybe most Italians

describe you as a hero. Certainly Italian friends of mine

say you're a hero to them, The Mafia have put a price tag

on your head, they want you dead, and essentially you are now

in hiding, aren't you? TRANSLATION: After I wrote my book,

the Italian state put me Currently, I live with bodyguards,

and this year will be the tenth year I didn't believe I would

end up like this. I am aware that I am not brave

when I say if I went back in time, What you are describing,

in terms of your own personal life in the last ten years, would,

to most people be pretty horrific. You have bodyguards,

you say, how big a team? TRANSLATION: It depends

on the location. At the moment, whenever I am outside

in public I have seven bodyguards Otherwise, five

bodyguards and two cars. It depends on the country

hosting me, though there are few countries that have

decided not to let me in. It might seem absurd,

but this is very common for people At the moment, in Europe

and South America, there are many writers

who are in the same situation. I found myself in this situation,

because I didn't hide my face. I never wanted to hide my

identity when I am on TV. It's fundamentally important that

I put myself out there. My face, my eye, my name,

my blood and my body. You have bodyguards then,

are you able to live I mean, presumably over some

of the ten years you've not been out in Italian society,

if you like. TRANSLATION: Bodyguards are given

to people like myself. To be able to say these death

threats will not stop you. For example, when I go to a venue

and give a talk, I will be Sometimes I can go to a restaurant,

but I will be surrounded There is a part of me that longs

for revenge against the people I don't want to give

my life over to them. It's inconceivable that

I give it away to them. All this came about because you

pointed the finger directly at the criminal bosses,

the Mafia bosses. Perhaps we, in Britain,

in America and places, we have a romanticised image

of the Mafia, from the movies Yet you are saying -

I mean, the Mafia, does it really It controls Italy in the violent way

that you suggest? TRANSLATION: The Mafia has a big

control over the Italian And also some military control

in certain areas. A small segment of their

activity is illegal. The illegal segment mainly

comprises cocaine, marijuana The legal operations

on the other hand mainly focus on waste management,

including toxic waste. And there is a lot of funding

placed into construction. The best way to understand Mafia

organisation is to think Which not only use their wealth,

lobbying and marketing when they do business,

but also rifles, bombs, The Mafia has special rules,

and they clearly state That is how they define themselves,

and men of honour listen A few years ago, I spent some time

in Mexico, covering the drug wars I was struck by something that

you are quoted as saying. You said, if Mexico is the heart

of the drugs war, then London, the city we are sitting in, is its

head, the head of the drugs war. TRANSLATION: A university study has

demonstrated that over 90% of money made through drug trafficking

is laundered in the US and Europe. In Europe, this mainly

happens in London. TRANSLATION: A university study has

demonstrated that over 90% of money made through drug trafficking

is laundered in the US and Europe. In Europe, this mainly

happens in London. Without London, Mexican cartels,

money for example, it Thanks to the offshore financial

system that Britain allows, cash gets straight into Europe

through the front door, The British public think

they are detached But if you see the way

in which money is moved around, you can see that London

is actually very close It's obvious you're

passionate about this subject, about corruption,

but what about the psychological You must be scared, you must fear

for your life. TRANSLATION: I am scared

I will never escape the situation. It's difficult for British

people to understand, because the threats on my life

were not by phone or letter. But they put, as I understand it,

a leaflet through your mother's door with a picture of your face on it,

a gun to your head, a picture of this, and the word "condemned"

written across the top. I mean, you're laughing

but the impact on your mother, on your family, on you,

surely that is huge? TRANSLATION: This sort

of threat I'm used to. The impact on my family,

on my mother - I am not sure I am suffering the threats,

but I am also continuing to work. At the moment, I'm here with you,

speaking out, but my family are not. I will never forgive myself

for what I have done to my family. They have lost their happiness,

their quality of life. The only way of getting out

of this is to be conscious I know that what I am

doing has a purpose. For what it's worth,

I think you are incredibly brave. Roberto Saviano talking

to Matthew Price there - his new book out yesterday

is called My Italians: True Stories The Home Office has told us the

current Government has done more than any other to tackle

money-laundering. Let us take you live to Japan, where

President Barack Obama will lay a wreath in memory of 40,000 people

killed instantly from radiation, in 1945. This is the peace Memorial

Park. The Cenotaph is where the US president will lay a wreath with its

eternal flame. We can see the group making its way to the Cenotaph.

It is the President's entourage, not President Barack Obama himself. He

is the first sitting US president to visit Hiroshima. After the G-7

summit. That is why he is in the region. He has said he will not

issue an apology for the nuclear attack, but he will honour all those

who died in the Second World War. That is the Cenotaph, with the

eternal flame, where President Barack Obama will lay a wreath. He

is expected to pay tribute to those killed in the bombing. He will offer

a simple reflection and acknowledging the devastating toll

of war, and saying also the world can and must do better.

We will go back there when President Barack Obama lays the wreath, that

is expected in ten minutes or so. One in five 16- to 24-year olds

Concern about drugs is high up the worry

But it can be a hard subject to talk about,

often because, as parents, we don't have all

But with one in five 16-to-24-year-olds admitting

to taking illegal drugs in the past year, it's clearly

Let's talk now to Dr Owen Bowden-Jones,

This is his first interview about his brand-new book,

It's about how parents should talk to their kids about taking drugs.

Also with us is Binder Bhardwaj who is a dad who thinks you should

talk to your kids about things like drugs at a young age.

And his son, 19-year-old Dhillan Bhardwaj, who is an entrepreneur.

Polly Wilshaw, a recovering addict, and mum-of-two in Norwich.

And Anne-Marie Cockburn, whose 15-year-old daughter Martha

died from an ecstasy overdose in 2013.

Thank you for joining us. Starting with you, Owen, it isn't an easy

conversation, as any parent knows. Why did you decide to write the

book? Not an easy conversation. I wrote the book because parents kept

asking me the same questions. They said, I don't know about drugs, what

do I do if I think my child is using drugs, how can I help them? So the

book is an easy to read con site summary of the available best

research evidence combined with my 20 odd years of clinical practice. I

put a lot of clinical examples, case studies, through the book, to try

and illustrate different points. Are you saying that the parent needs to

be well armed with the information before embarking on the

conversation? One of the anxieties that parents have is that they don't

have enough information. The book tries to give them enough

information, not to be a drugs expert, but to have enough

information to have a credible conversation with their child. Give

us the broad brush, the kind of drugs that kids are coming across

and at what age? I advocate in the book to start talking to your child

earlier than many people would think. Most children get some kind

of education about drugs at year six, about the ages of ten, 11. I

think that's a good time to start. I suggest people start talking to

their children before they are exposed to drugs and people using

drugs. There is a fear, as a parent of giving your children knowledge

that they don't listen severally need and opening them up to

something when you want them to be children. Absolutely, that's a

reasonable anxiety. What I've done in the book is that I have given

them examples, almost scripts of how to have the conversation so it's

clearly not glamorising drugs. We also have to be realistic. There

have never been more drugs in the drug market and there are now. Drugs

have never been more available, the ability to buy them on the Internet

is very new and concerning than there are now. People have heard

about drugs, on the Internet and at school, so it's important for the

parents to engage early and point their children in the direction of

quality information because there is so much misinformation about drugs.

Let's talk to Polly, a recovering addict. You've got two children,

aged watcher and eight and you can give us your perspective on the drug

conversation -- aged four. What are your thoughts? I totally agree with

the doctor about his opinions and I think it's very fair. But I also

agree that maybe year six is pushing it a bit too much. I think maybe

start year four, year five. Drug addiction should be like six

education. Education is key. It isn't losing their life or worrying

them about anything, it is making them into adults that can understand

and appreciate what's going on, especially with all of the legal

highs these days. I think it's imperative to educate your children.

Tell us a bit more about your experience because you started

smoking cannabis at 14. Had you had conversations with your parents

about drugs? Yes, with my mother and father. My father, I had three detox

is in one year because of alcohol addiction and my father was very

supportive -- detoxes. I didn't feel able to talk to my mum. My alcohol

addiction started after my mother died. I'm sorry, when you were

younger, talking to you about drugs before you got there. No, my mum

smoked hash is a bit and I could smell it and I knew what she was

doing and are used to steal it. I'm going to interrupt you, I'm sorry,

we are going to come back. I just want to take us to Hiroshima because

President Obama is there and he is about to lay a wreath at the

Cenotaph. Forced the first sitting US president to

visit Hiroshima. He will pay tribute to the 140,000 people killed in the

bombing, seven decades ago. Moments of reflection and a

handshake at the Cenotaph as President Obama lays a wreath. A

very Simba lick moment, the first sitting US president to visit

Hiroshima -- symbolic moment. It looks like he may be about to say

something. Seven decades ago, on a bright,

cloudless morning, death fell from the sky and the world was changed. A

flash of light and a wall of fire destroyed a City and demonstrated

that mankind possess the means to destroy itself. Why do we come to

this place, to Hiroshima? We come to ponder the terrible force unleashed

in the not so distant past. We come to mourn the dead, including over

100,000 Japanese men, women and children. Thousands of Koreans, a

dozen Americans held prisoner. Their souls speak to us. They asked us to

look inward, to take stock of who we are and what we might become. It is

not the fact of war that sets Hiroshima apart. Artefacts tell us

that violent conflict appeared with the very first men. Our early

ancestors, having learned to make blades from Flint, Spears from wood,

use these tools not just for hunting but against their own kind. On every

continent, the history of civilisation is filled with war.

Whether driven by scarcity of grain, hunger for gold, compelled by

nationalist fervour or religious zeal. Empires have risen and fallen,

peoples have been subjugated and liberated. And at each juncture,

innocence have suffered. A countless toll, their names forgotten by time.

The world war which reached its brutal end at Hiroshima and Nagasaki

was fought amongst the wealthiest and most powerful nations. The

civilisations had given the world great cities and magnificent art.

Their thinkers had advanced ideas of justice and harmony and truth. And

yet the wall grew out of the same base instinct for domination, for

conquest, which had caused conflict between the simplest tries -- the

war. A pattern amplified by new capabilities and without

constraints. And the span of a few years, some 60 million people would

die. Men, women, children.

No different than us. Shot, beaten, marched, bombed, jailed, starved,

gassed to death. There are many sites around the

world that chronicle this wall. Memorials that tell stories of

courage and heroism. Graves and empty camps that echo of

unspeakable depravity. Yet, in the image of a mushroom

cloud that rose into these skies, we are most starkly reminded of

humanity's core contradiction. How the very spark that marks us as a

species, our thoughts, our imagination, our language, our tool

making, our ability to set ourselves apart from nature, and bend it to

our will, those very things also give us the capacity for unmatched

destruction. How often does material advancement

or social innovation blind us to this truth?

How easily we learn to justify violence in the name of some higher

cause? Every great religion promises a

pathway to love and peace and righteousness, and yet no religion

has been spared from believers who have claimed their faith is a

licence to kill. Nations arrived telling a story that

binds people together in sacrifice and cooperation, allowing for

remarkable feats, but those same stories have so often been used to

oppress, and dehumanise those who are different.

Science allows us to communicate across the seas, and fly above the

clouds, to cure disease, and understand the cosmos. But those

same discoveries can be turned into ever more efficient killing

machines. The walls of the modern age teach us

this truth. -- wars. Hiroshima teaches at this truth. Technological

progress without an equivalent progress in human institutions can

doom us. The scientific revolution that led

to the splitting of an atom requires a moral revolution as well.

That is why we come to this place. We stand here, in the middle of this

city, and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell.

We force ourselves to feel the dread of children confused by what they

see. We listen to a silent cry. We

remember all the innocents killed across the arc of that terrible war

and the wars that came before, and the wars that follow. Mere words

cannot give voice to such suffering. But we have a shed this possibility

to look directly into the eye of history, and ask what we must do

differently to curb such suffering again.

Some day, the voices will no longer be with us to bear witness.

But the memory of the morning of August the 6th 1945 must never fade.

That memory allows us to fight complacency. It fuels our moral

imagination. It allows us to change. And since

that fateful day, we have made choices that give us hope.

The united states and Japan forged not only an alliance, but a

friendship that has won far more for our people than we could ever claim

through wars. The nations of Europe but a union that replaced

battlefields with commerce and democracy. Oppressed peoples in

nations one liberation. And international duty established

institutions and treaties that worked to avoid war and aspired to

restrict and roll back and ultimately eliminate the existence

of nuclear weapons. Still, every act of aggression

between nations, every act of terror and corruption and cruelty and

oppression that we see around the world, shows our work is never done.

We may not be able to eliminate man's capacity to do evil, so,

nations and the alliances we have formed must possess the means to

defend ourselves. But among those nations like my own that hold

nuclear stockpiles, we must have the courage to escape the logic of fear,

and pursue a world without them. We may not realise this goal in my

lifetime. But persistent effort can roll back

the possibility of catastrophe. We can chart a course that leads to the

destruction of these stockpiles, we can stop the spread to new nations,

and secure deadly materials from fanatics.

And yet that is not enough. For, we see around the world today

how even the crudest rifles and barrel bombs can serve up violence

on a terrible scale. We must change our mind set about

war itself. To prevent conflict through diplomacy. And strive to end

conflicts after they have begun. To see our growing interdependence

as a cause for peaceful cooperation and not violent competition.

To define our nation is not by our capacity to destroy, but by what we

have built. And perhaps above all we must

reimagine our connection to one another as members of one human

race. For this is what makes our species unique, we are not bound by

genetic code to repeat the mistakes of the past. We can learn. We can

choose. We can tell our children a different story. One that describes

a common humanity. One that makes war less likely. And cruelty less

easily accepted. We see these stories from the woman

who forgive a pilot who flew the plane that dropped the atomic bomb

because she realised what she really hated was war itself. The man who

sought out to families of Americans killed here because he believed

their loss was equal to his own. My own nation's story began with

simple words. All men are created equal. And

endowed by our Creator with certain inalienable rights. Including life,

liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Realising that ideal has never been easy.

Even within our own borders, even among our own citizens, but staying

true to that story is worth the effort.

It is an ideal to be strived for. An ideal that extends across

continents, and across oceans. The irreducible worth of every person.

The insistence that every life is precious.

The radical and necessary notion that we are part of a single human

family that is the story that we must tell.

That is why we come to Hiroshima. So that we might think of people we

love, the first smile from our children in the morning, the gentle

touch from a spouse over the kitchen table.

The comforting embrace of a parent. We can think of those things and

know that those same precious moments took place here, 71 years

ago. Those who died, they are like us.

Ordinary people understand this, I think.

They do not want more war. They would rather that the wonders

of science be focused on improving life, and not eliminating it.

When the choice is made by nations, when the choices made by leaders

reflect this simple wisdom, then the lesson of Hiroshima is done.

The world was forever changed here. But, today, the children of this

city will go through their day in peace.

For the -- what a precious thing that is.

It is worth protecting. And then extending to every child.

That is a future we can choose. A future in which Hiroshima and

Nagasaki are known not as the dawn of atomic warfare, but as the start

of our moral awakening. STUDIO: President speaking, having

laid a wreath at the Cenotaph in a Russian an eternal flame remembers

the dead in Hiroshima. He said the world was forever

changed because of what happened at Hiroshima.

It demonstrated that mankind had the means to destroy itself. But he

spoke of the legacy as being one of starting our own moral awakening.

And he spoke of this. That is the first time a sitting US

president has been to brush, is usually symbolic visit by the

President. We will go back to our drugs

conversation shortly, we interrupted it because of the events in

Hiroshima. Do get in touch if you have thoughts

about how to talk to your kids about drugs. If you have issues about

that, if you have any advice for parents.

We are talking to Doctor O Winberg and is who has written a book about

the best way parents to speak to children about drugs. And about how

we listen to our children about it. Stay with us, that is coming up.

Let us catch up with the weather. Not a bad day but the raw showers in

that mix, they are already there across southern counties.

This is still producing a lot of m bash back producing a lot of murk.

Hazy sunshine elsewhere and in the south, 22. North Sea facing coasts,

some cloud later, 12, 13 degrees. Plenty of thunderstorms overnight,

pushing across Wales and the south-west and more coming into the

south-east. Saturday morning, this is the focus, southern and western

parts of the British Isles, the heaviest showers. To the north and

east, drier and finer. Eastern shores again on the colder side.

Sunday, fewer heavy showers. A sprinkling of showers to the west

and maybe some more wind to the east. As you can see, a lot of dry

weather and still the bank, Dave. -- bank holiday.

President Obama has laid a wreath at a ceremony in the Japanese city

of Hiroshima to remember the 140,000 people who died when America dropped

Let's go back to our conversation about how you can approach talking

to children about drugs. Let's talk now to Dr

Owen Bowden-Jones, This is his first interview

about his brand-new book, We started the conversation before

we went to President Obama in Hiroshima. Tell us first of all,

Owen, because many parents will be watching, contemplating the need to

have this conversation and find it difficult. How do you talk to your

kids about something like drugs in a way that will get them to listen?

Anyway, that's why I wrote but because so many people asked me the

question -- in a way. Parents wanted conversations on -- tips on how to

have the conversation and avoiding it being a lecture and going wrong.

I have given almost a script of a conversation that goes the way you

want it and one that doesn't. So avoiding the lecture. Every parent

will have run into that on whatever subject with a child, how do you do

that? The point of the conversation is firstly to make your child

understand that this is not a taboo subject, it is one you are happy to

talk about and that is important. The second point is that when you

have opened the conversation, it is much more likely that if your child

has problems in the future, they will come back to you and ask for

your advice. The third point of the conversation is to give information.

There is so much misinformation around drugs. The conversation is an

opportunity to sign post your child to the best possible information,

which they may not know is out there. So you need to be well

informed? Absolutely, the book gives lots of links and advice about the

sorts of places where your child can get that information. Less talk to

the father and son, Binder and Dhillan because you have a good

relationship in how you talk about these issues. That's right, I

learned from my parents, the old-fashioned way and I have brought

it into the new generation, social media and the Internet, where we

embrace it, we have family time and we talk about it that way. If he

were to say that drugs is bad, drugs is bad and there is no more

information about it. So if someone took that approach it would make you

climb up? -- would make you clam up. We talk to each other like friends,

we don't really need orders. We try and police it in a friendly way.

Dhillan has many social media followers and I am one of them which

means I can follow his conversations and that is something that parents

need to do, they need to embrace social media. It's a really big

platform. I want to bring in Hania, you are 19, do you have open

conversations about it? Not merely. Why not? It is a bit awkward,

sitting down and basically asking, are you on drugs? It is different

cultures as well, some cultures are more open and less open about drugs.

Have you had any conversation about it? Not really. Do you feel you

would like to. I wouldn't mind, sitting down and talking about the

dangers. If you don't talk to your parents about it, where do you get

guidance about something like that? From your friends. Do you feel that

you've been able to find your own way through it, then? Yes back. We

also joined in the studio by Mamta, and you have kids. They are very

young. They are but as parents I feel we need an open dialogue and

environment where you can have conversations with each other about

what's important, how to deal with pressure. If someone is influencing

you, how to deal with that. With my four yo, we are role-playing what

you would do at nursery if you are pressured into something you don't

want to do. Those conversations are very useful because my four-year-old

is completely clueless, obviously, how to manage herself and the

assertive in that context and that's where it needs to start. We need to

start early with embedding really good behaviour and confidence and

assertiveness in your children to know what's right and what's wrong

and how to hold themselves when they are in a situation with the unknown

and how to manage it. Let's bring in Polly, you were nodding, you are a

recovering addict... Have we lost Polly? Unfortunately she has done.

Alongside Polly, we could see Anne-Marie Cockburn. You really have

a very devastating story in that your daughter, Martha, died when she

was just 15 after taking ecstasy a couple of years ago. Tell us your

experience. A few months before she died, she admitted that she had

taken ecstasy and I was horrified. I shouted at her, I closed down the

conversation. She was trying to be honest. I didn't know where to look

for information and I wish that the book had existed then. Such a human

reaction, that any parent will completely understand, when

something terrifies you about your children and what they might be

doing, you want to shut it down. And obviously hearing you talk, you have

reflected a lock on that since. What are your thoughts now on how the

conversations might be handled? -- a lock. After she died I found that

she had been looking online for ways of doing it safely -- a lot. Luke

that devastates me -- that devastates the because she wanted to

get high safely. We need to get rid of the stigma and get the

conversation on the table. It needs to be part of the school curriculum

as well because for some children, just saying no won't work and my

story highlights that. They need good access to good information and

parents need that as well. What do you say to that, owing, the just

saying no not always working? I think it's a complicated message to

a child who is thinking of taking a drug. On the one hand, there is no

safe way to take a drug. Any drug use comes with a risk. But on the

other hand we have to be pragmatic. One in four 15-year-olds say they

have taken an illicit drug at some point and one in five say they have

done it in the last 12 months. There are plenty of people out there who

are trying drugs. If you ask me what I should say to a child who is

thinking of taking a drug, then the advice is not to, clearly, but if

someone is determined to take a drug, then clearly we have to say

that the most important thing is that they must have the information.

How do you have the conversation because if you say, it isn't right

to take anything, why would a child necessarily talk to you if they

think that they might? That's about it being a dialogue and not a

lecture. For the drug conversation to work, it has to be an open

conversation. As we were hearing, it's about how you relate as a

parent to your child and open the communication channels. I think we

can't underestimate the impact of listening to your children and

having resilience as a parent, being resilient enough to hear the

difficult messages and not shut the conversation down. It can provide

such insight. Even with my four-year-old, she is at nursery but

the insight into the dynamics of that environment and who is the

strongest person in the room and how are they treating her and dealing

with her? It is no major issue but when you open a dialogue and start

to understand the psychology of your child you can influence them and

embed the values you need them to have when they grow up. Time goes by

and they are being exposed to these things in the playground. That takes

a bit of personal training, doesn't it, not to react with shock?

Absolutely, and judgment. It helps that I'm a psychologist. I have

known the impact of discussions being closed down and also the

opportunity that is presented when you have an open dialogue and the

sense of resilience and not being judgmental as a parent. It is

difficult because as a parent you don't want to expose your child to

any danger. So you shut it down because you would rather not hear

about it but parents need to be more open and trust that they can

influence and continue to speak with their child and create an

environment of openness. I think Anne Marie wanted to come back in?

I'm sorry, I was having an echo in my ear that they were trying to sort

out. One reason that parents shut down the conversation is that they

are worried they don't have the right information. The drug market

has changed so much since they were young, they don't have the right

information to talk to their child. What if the parent has taken

something when they are younger and they are fearing what their child

will do? It is inevitable that if you have the conversation with the

child they are going to ask you if you use them yourself. The response,

if you have used the drug, depends a little bit on the H. If you have a

conversation with a child who is ten, 11, 12, it may confuse them if

you tell them about drugs and then when you say you have used them

yourself -- depends on the age. But when you're 15, 16 it may break down

the stigma, you say that you tried them but decided they were not for

you. Polly, we have got you back and you are in the situation of having

taken drugs and now you have children, how do you see this? I

think 15, 16 is too old to contemplate having a discussion

about drugs. It needs to be addressed a lot earlier and it

should be part of school education, like six education. The sad thing is

that you have alcohol, which is one of the main killers, which is

taxable, and people can readily get it. I think they need to know the

withdrawal symptoms. They need to be educated early enough. And how old

are your children? They are four and eight. When would you start talking

to them and how open would you be about your experiences. I am open

with my nine-year-old. He has quite a good understanding of, you know,

addiction and the cycle of addiction. Poppy, I would probably

wait, he is in year five and that's probably a good time. They start to

have assemblies in year six and year five is a good age to start tackling

that. Was anybody open with you when you were growing up, before you took

anything? You had smoked cannabis at 14. Had you ever had any

conversation before that? No. Do you wish you had? Of course. The more

open you are with your children, I mean, the child, if you take

something away from the child, they are going to be inquisitive about

it. It is like taking the Xbox away as

punishment. They get it back, they are inquisitive and want it more.

You are saying you haven't had conversations at home about drugs.

Peer pressure, tell us what that is like now? A lot changes from one

generation to the next, but a lot doesn't.

Peer pressure is one of the key factors of teenagers trying drugs.

You go to a party, everyone is taking it.

Literally. You will be left out.

How do you navigate that? You just say no, you don't have too

follow the crowd. When I was in school, I was more

interested in getting second in the dinner Du! People aren't afraid to

say no. It depends how confident you are.

How do people react if they feel you are preaching.

Do you walk away? I would walk away and get over it.

It comes down to parenting again, to give your kids that bit of strength

to say no, to be different, not to follow the crowd. Where I got my own

confidence and to inspire kids to do their own instead being surrounded

by so many strong people who forced you to do things you don't want to

do. The best gift a parent can give

their children is confidence, and a good set of values. When parents

aren't around, and there is peer pressure, they ultimately have their

compass and know right from wrong, it even without having the

conversations, but you know it is not the right thing to do. That

comes from your culture and foundation.

Culturally, I can relate to you. Speaking to your parents about

drugs, it is awkward. Again, in the century we are in now,

parents need to develop that sort of relationship with their kids.

I would like to think we are like friends rather than father and son.

A final word from you. We have had lots of interesting insights. You

wrote this book to make it easier for parents to have these

conversations. My advice to parents is start early.

Make it a conversation, not a lecture. Even if you have had that

concession once, you have opened the door, it is no longer a taboo

subject and your child knows if they are having problems they can ask you

for help. I would like to say thanks you very

much, it is really insightful. A lot of parents wouldn't understand or

no. I look forward to reading your book, thank you very much.

Thank you all for joining us. Let us know your thoughts on that and

everything else we are talking about this morning.

We are talking about the EU referendum. We have had one tweet, I

was in the audience last night, I wouldn't this fight if more people

were undecided. Derek said, top-class programme last

night. We will be talking to a panel of

undecided voters. Should the UK remain a member

of the European Union Will I have a job if we

leave the EU, will be You stand a far better chance

of a good job where you are not competing with potentially thousands

of other Europeans, if we actually leave

the European Union. The straight answer,

it would not be an economic But there are more jobs

and chances if we stay. Me and my mum lives

in a council house. My mum is disabled and need

a bungalow but there The more we let in, the less houses

we will have to house them, Remember how many immigrants

like family and many in the audience We get ?350 million

a week to the EU. We don't give ?350 million a week

to the EU. If you look at how much we give

to the EU, how much we get back and we do get some back,

there is a net difference The Leave campaign will throw out

a figure that you will rubbish. I do not have an issue

with admitting I have no idea, What will we lose and gain

in terms of international relations and travel,

if we leave? I don't think you need

to lose anything. People go and study and travel

and have holidays elsewhere. My dad was taught French and Spanish

and long before the EU we holidayed People did continue to go and study

in other countries. Because it is in the

interests of both parties. We can go anywhere within the EU,

it is a two-way process. No other country has more

of its citizens living and working in other developed countries

than Great Britain. If we are not to have visas to go

on holiday or for people to come here, there are 2.5 million tourists

who come to Scotland every year. How are you going to differentiate

between the Polish plumber Are you saying if Britain

votes to leave, there You can get up and go anywhere

in Europe. You can come with me, we can

go together. I want to ask, what do you think

of the Leave campaign? The Leave campaign have been

scaremongering. Your own side have been

appalling, in what way have Some of the noise we have

heard about immigration, I think we will be

better if we leave. The Remain campaign should be

talking about Apathy is always the biggest winner

in any UK election. I can see the same

thing happening again. If you have made a decision,

please do put your hand up now. Wow, that is about half

of you, I would say. undecided if they had

been swayed in or out, Let's talk to Francesca Keig

who's in the studio. And Elle Leslie and Kayode Damali

who join us from Glasgow and are part of BBC

Referendum Generation. In Cardiff are Pauline Thomas,

and Jarel Robinson-Brown. Thank you for joining us. You will

all undecided yesterday, any of you decided today, raise your hand if

you have made up your mind. I am more decided. Your hand went

right up, the only one fully up. Tell us which way you are leaning?

Leaning strongly on remaining, really. I was quite disappointed by

the scaremongering that went on, and other things, which I expected, but

I thought it was so extreme yesterday.

What was it that made up your mind? Listening to things said, I am quite

conscious of the fact of climate change. We can only do that, combat

that together. It sounds weird, but I was impacted by what was going on

in America, and thinking about developments there, and in the world

which is so fragmented, unity is crucial.

Francesca, you half put your hand up.

60% undecided? I am getting closer. A huge influence on me from last

night was the audience. This sounds really bad, that made the biggest

impact on me. I am sure this isn't the case, but

the Leave audience came across as ignorant.

Why do you say that? Because of some of the comments that were made,

referring to foreigners as them. And the implications, implying they were

stealing our houses and jobs. I don't think that is particularly

accurate. Everyone is nodding. You are in the

audience, what is your perspective on the debate and where you stand

now? It was really interesting. A lot of

it was petty with insults thrown around. Especially from the Leave

campaign. A lot of the audience were intense, and taken aback by how good

the remain campaign as well. Alex Salmon is an excellent speaker.

People did not expect such a strong argument from the opposing side.

You still haven't decided? I am a lot more informed now.

What will it take you to make up your mind?

There are a lot of things, not enough facts, I say that over and

again. In the debate there were statistics

about how much we give to the EU, how much we take out. Everyone was

saying different numbers. We need real statistics everyone can agree

on. What will it take you to make up

your mind? I have always been a fan of the

facts. It is difficult to decide when you are not sure what the facts

are. Last night, one person on the Leave

campaign said we give 350 mg a week. That was counteracted by someone.

Who do we believe? The facts haven't been laid out clearly.

What about your gut on this? Other than telling me I'm hungry, my

gut feeling, I am bang on the fence. Until I see clear facts, it is hard

to make a decision based on opinions.

Pauline, your perspective? From last night, all I saw was immigration are

taking out jobs, taking our houses. That is complete nonsense. Those

thousands and thousands of jobs, if they were taking them, there would

be no jobs to have. And with housing, if they were taking our

housing, there would be no empty properties in this country, and

there are thousands upon thousands of empty properties.

Jarel, you have said how you will vote. The rest of you haven't. Will

you vote? Yes, I will vote. When you make up

your minds, what will it take, Francesca?

Walking into the polling station. Will you leave it that late?

Ii properly won't. I am leaning towards remaining. It is up in the

air. It is just as a backlash from last night that I am going to

remain. But I will change back to lead tomorrow, or what ever.

What about you, when will you decide?

I am completely undecided. I keep hearing things from different sides,

that is interesting, that is interesting as well.

Probably not until a couple of days before.

Is it a conversation you are having with everyone around you, our people

engaged? In Glasgow, the Scottish

independence referendum felt like it was something everybody in Scotland

had a well-informed view on, and it was the only subject of discussion

at the time, it felt. Very true, a lot of young people

were engaged, that was excellent, I enjoyed that.

People aren't as engaged with this one, people are fed up with

politicians. My friends are interested. But a lot

of young people are more disengaged with this EU referendum than the

independence one. Thank you very much. Stay in touch,

we will see if you make up your mind before you enter the polling booth.

Have you decided how you're going to vote

The 66 year old left a final note asking whoever found her body

After several days of waiting, Jose Mourinho has been officially

unveiled as the manager of Manchester United.

Yes, what we have all been waiting for this week but some may say it's

The confirmation is finally here, Jose Mourinho is the new manager

and joins our Sports News Reporter David Ornstein.

It is a massive appointment and it will draw attention from around the

world, what have the club had to say about it? It has been the worst kept

secret in football, hasn't it? They have been in talks all week, they

were wrapped up yesterday in London and confirmation has come, Jose

Mourinho has signed a three-year contract but with the option of

another year to take him to 2020. The executive vice-chairman Ed

Woodward said that Jose Cotto is the best manager in the game today and

he has won trophies across Europe and he knows the Premier League very

well, having won three titles here, at Chelsea -- Jose is the best

manager. "I Would like to welcome him to Manchester United. His track

record of success is ideal to take the club forward. " As for Mourinho,

he says "To become the manager of Manchester United is a special

honour, the club is known and admired through the world. There is

a mystique and romance about it which no other club can match. I've

always felt an affinity to Trafford. It has hosted some important

memories for me in my career and I've always enjoyed a rapport with

the Manchester United fans. I'm looking forward to being their

manager and enjoying their magnificent support for many years."

Those fans will be expecting a lot, the three-year plan under Louis van

Gaal is out of the window. What will the club be hoping to achieve under

Jose? Van Gaal was sacked on Monday despite leading to Manchester United

's Mac FA Cup success on Monday, their first success in several

years. He was criticised for the style of play but he brought through

some young players which will be a focus for the fans and the media on

Jose Mourinho, his behaviour, style of play and his commitment to youth.

Let's look at what's coming up for him. He will be at the dugout a week

on Sunday, the 5th of June, taking charge of an England 11 against a

rest of the world 11 in a charity match. He has the Eva Carneiro

tribunal, a messy situation harking back to his Chelsea days. And a

mouthwatering clash in Beijing against Manchester City and their

new manager, Pep Guardiola come on the 25th of July. Leicester City

await, Claudio Ranieri against Mourinho, on the 7th of August at

Wembley and on the 13th of August, the Premier League season starts

with Jose Mourinho as the Manchester United manager. Thanks, should be a

very interesting start. So in Mourinho, United now have

one of the world's most Our Sports Editor Dan Roan

looks at the magnitude United at last, one football's

biggest clubs has one of the game's biggest coaches, both desperately

hoping it's the start of something special. Jose Mourinho is the

manager with the Midas touch and the ego to match. I think I'm the

special one. Few would argue, he has won league titles in four different

countries, the Champions League twice and a lot more besides. He

first made his mark on Manchester United in 2004 when his Porto team

memorably knocked Alex Ferguson's out of the Champions League. They

shared a mutual respect, Renee never hid his ambition to take over at Old

Trafford one day and now he has his wish -- Mourinho. He's a great

manager, he the Premier League really well and I think he will be a

fantastic signing for Manchester United to improve and be better than

than the last two years. But his management comes with consequences

and controversy, by the time he was dismissed from Chelsea for the

second time it seemed he had fallen out with everybody. Struggling

United were prepared to gamble, courting Mourinho four months when

it became apparent that Louis van Gaal wouldn't meet expectations. He

was sacked last weekend despite winning the FA Cup. Nurturing

youngsters like Marcus Rashford is something that Mourinho has never

really excelled at and some will worry about his pragmatic style of

football but ultimately United have put winning about any worries they

may have had. They paid a lot of money for him, there will be a few

big players and he will need to improve the squad because the

players who are there, there is a lot of ability but they have lost

confidence and hopefully he can instil some of that. Mourinho's

arrival sees the resumption of one of football's great Wevill rez, he

and Pep Guardiola simmered as opposing managers at Real Madrid and

Barcelona and now they are in charge of Manchester United and Manchester

City, both chasing the same price -- rivalries. After several days of

negotiations held up confirmation of the appointment, this afternoon

Mourinho left his London home to complete one of football's worst

kept secrets. His task at Old Trafford is to succeed where others

have failed and return the club to former glories.

So there you have it, just to recap, Jose Mourinho has been

confirmed as the new manager of Manchester United.

It's a three-year deal with the option of another.

We will see if he can extend his great record at Old Trafford.

about his ambition for realising the goal of a planet

without nuclear weapons. President Obama laid a wreath

in the city of Hiroshima this morning and honoured the thousands

that died, but stopped short We stand here in the middle of this

City and force ourselves to imagine the moment the bomb fell. We force

ourselves to feel the dread of the children confused by what they see.

We listen to a silent cry. We remember all of the innocent people

killed across the art of that terrible war and the wars that came

before and those that would follow. Mere words cannot give voice to such

suffering, but we have a shared responsibility to look directly into

the eye of history and ask what we must do differently to curb such

suffering again. Keni Sabath is the granddaughter

of a survivor of the bombing. Her grandmother, Tomiko Shoji,

was 18 when the tobacco factory she was working in was hit

by the atomic blast. Thank you for joining us. President

Obama saying that words cannot give voice to the suffering endured after

Hiroshima. Tell us more about your grandmother and what happened to her

and the impact it had on her and subsequently the generations that

have followed. Thank you for having me. My grandmother was in the

tobacco victory, it was at and immediately a large door fell on

her, which protected her from sustaining more serious injuries --

Tobacco factory. When she emerged she had glass shards stuck in her

skin. She tried to go to the bomb shelter, that was the immediately at

Wii action when she regained consciousness but it was smoky and

she describes the surrounding seen as a living hell, really, scorched

corpses around her. She tried to find her sister, trying to walk

around the City, trying to help people who were in even worse shape.

One of the striking images she described to me when I was young and

I first visited Hiroshima peace Park and saw the river is that these

balls were floating on the River that ended up being scorched heads

of humans, she said that the river became a blood River. After

experiencing that for several weeks, she eventually found her sister who

was not in the City at the time. She started receiving treatment. One of

the first things that impacted her, though, was Reverend Sensie who

introduced her to Christianity and that became a sustaining force in

her life in terms of reconciliation and giving her life meaning, which

for her is to share her story. She moved to Taiwan's and met my grandpa

and had four daughters, including my mum, who was the youngest. However,

due to the radiation poisoning she continued to get more ill, her hair

was falling out, her teeth started falling out and by the time she was

40 she had dentures. And of course, psychological trauma, Poster Matic

stress disorder. It came to the point where she made the hard

decision to leave Taiwan's and my mum and my aunts -- post-traumatic

stress. She went to Japan to receive medical treatment. As far as my

family goes, it divided the family and caused my mum and my aunts to

participate in the side-effects of the atomic bombing as they impacted

her mother. And ultimately lead to a very kind of transnational journey.

She moved to Hawaii in the late 1980s with my father and my mother

and she currently is an American citizen and has been since then.

How do you, how does the family view the visit of President Barack Obama

and what he said? He said he wouldn't make an apology, he didn't,

but he spoke strongly about thinking of the victims. Is that enough? Do

you think people do desire an apology?

No, my family doesn't feel like an apology is necessary, my grandmother

doesn't as well. For me personally, I strongly support the sentence

President Barack Obama expressed. When I first visited the place,

Hiroshima peace Park, it was very dramatic. It gave me the first-hand,

as close as I could get, being there with my grandmother, seeing the

horrific mannequins in the museum, there are the life-sized figures

with melting flesh, tattered clothes. Reconciling that passed

with the present city eyesore, it gave me a sense how real this was,

how precarious reality is as well. How this could happen again, on an

even more destructive scale. For President Barack Obama to be

visiting this place was enough of an acknowledgement of the horrors of

the past, and also the pressing need to prevent another Hiroshima in the

future. It is that sense of focusing on the humanity amidst discussions

of military strategy, what was historically necessary in World War

II, all today as well. Thank you so much for joining us.

We are short on time. It has been fascinating to hear you speak this

morning. Thank you.

We speak to one of its new presenters Rory Reid and show

you his 30 second audition tape which apparently

It's feared the trouble and chaos in France caused by industrial

action over new labour laws will hit bank holiday travel from the UK.

There are petrol shortages caused by oil refinery

blockades, there are protests and demonstrations, and road

Despite some signs the crisis may have stabilised, the Foreign Office

is setting out its own warnings, urging British motorists to be aware

they might not be able to fill up over the Channel.

Joining me now from Paris is our correspondent, Hugh Schofield.

How bad is it there? The good news is that they must have eased since

yesterday. We don't have the protests and violence and blockades

of roads and bridges we had yesterday.

Yesterday was a special day of national action.

Still going on our blockades of refineries and oil depots.

The good news there is also things seem to have eased somewhat.

I have been watching the television and listening to the radio or

morning. The situation is patchy and fluid, there are still, there are

some areas where petrol is in short supply, but the general picture is

there are enough depots open and enough tankers on the roads, tanker

drivers are working overtime, to ensure that more is getting through

to petrol stations. The message for visitors coming over

will be, don't put off your journey, come with a full tank, expect some

difficulty in finding petrol but you should find it.

Get hold of one of these Papps -- apps, essence.fr.

Let's speak now to Nick Baker who is on a road trip in

When did you first know about the strike?

I was on a resort on the south coast. I hadn't been aware of the

disruption until I got there. I joined the queue at the petrol

station. I am not very good at queueing. I left the queue.

I struggled to find diesel. Most of the forecourts seemed to have petrol

but not diesel. I was stuck for three days.

There were deliveries to certain forecourts.

I was very concerned about running out of fuel.

Let us bring in Sylvia, what impact is this having on you?

In this region, it has been a bit difficult since the beginning of a

week when I went to fill petrol, there wasn't any petrol left. So, I

had to turn around to find a petrol pump, otherwise I couldn't get to

work. Basically, people are feeling a lot of tension is rising. In one

week or so, if the problem is not solved, we are really going to have

a problem. Especially the old people who are really insecure, that is

what I see. My neighbour who is an 85-year-old man. The moment he saw

that, he filled his petrol tanks just to feel secure. But he doesn't

have a problem, although he needs to go to hospital for tests. Basically

it is old people feeling the impact of it. While the youngsters, they

are not that much affected. We are just hoping the situation gets a bit

better. Thank you, Sylvia. We have a couple

more people and want to talk to. Young people are so stay affected,

we are in the middle of exams, starting out diploma exams. The

adult students had to travel over 100 kilometres to their independent

test centres. A very big worry. Students at 2am looking for diesel

on the day of their exams, where their exam starts 9am. We are facing

problems with bridges and across the river, there have been blockades.

Students needing to cross them. It is a real difficulty. Everybody is

stressed, worry. Yes, we are coping, we are car sharing, putting people

up in hotels, with families. It is the worry, the uncertainty whether

even an exam will take place or be cancelled.

Colin, you are back in the UK. You had your site affected, what

happened with you? No, I am still in the Costa Blanca,

a lovely part of the world to be in but frankly I would rather be London

catching up with family and friends. Our flight was cancelled late

yesterday. We received an e-mail saying the flight was cancelled by

one of the major carriers going out of Alicante. They offered a free

change flights. But the next available once wasn't until 11:30pm.

So we switched apples and are flying out, fingers crossed, this afternoon

-- switched airports. The advice is, if you are heading to

France, do still go but with a full tank.

It's been one of the most talked about and hotly anticipated shows

of the year and, finally, this Sunday, Top Gear

returns to our screens with a brand-new line-up.

It comes after Jeremy Clarkson was famously sacked

after assaulting a producer, and his co-presenters

Unless your other car is a superbike, or a cheetah with

a saddle on it, that ought to be enough.

Rory Reid is one of the two unknowns in

The south Londoner won his position after impressing the producers

with a 30-second audition tape which Chris Evans

Chris Evans said on radio he was putting out a call, and one would be

selected from the public. He put that out to the world, anyone could

apply, you needed to submit a 32nd audition tape to be considered.

Why were you so keen? I am a motoring journalist anyway, my day

job is filming Top Gear but on a lower budget on YouTube. I jumped in

a car and tell people whether those cars are worth buying or not. It is

what I have done for the better part of ten years. I am a great fit in

that respect. But my talent is just being able to communicate how cars

make you feel, how much you will enjoy it or hate driving those cars

in a particular environment. There has been so much expectation

and talk about Top Gear. Chris Evans was talking about what was and what

will be. He said there is nothing wrong with the old show, the

presentation, just something went wrong with one of the presenters.

Nothing was broken. Other than the new line-up, will it be pretty much

as it was? Top Gear is Top Gear, everything

that people love about the old show, we will stop at the banter, the

beautiful cars. We will step it up in terms of the production values,

it will be beautiful to watch. What we have now is a bigger line-up

of people. In the past, you can watch Top Gear and predict what each

presenter might say about a particular car based on the

caricature of those individuals. Right now we have a fresh new team,

you don't know what we will say. All new and fresh. Some big figures,

people successful in various fields, are there were a lot of egos or are

you getting on? I had the same concern. I jumped in

and I was relieved to see that everybody is a team player,

everybody gets on with each other, especially on the presenting team.

We all have this thing in common which is cars, we love the same

things. When we talk to each other, we don't have to find a common

ground, it is already there. We love driving around in some

amazing cars, we share that passion, it is easy to get on.

Thank you, good luck, the first show is on Saturday.

On Sunday. Followed by Extra Gear on BBC Three.

Thank you for your company today.
