:00:09. > :00:18.Good morning. I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the

:00:19. > :00:20.programme. Should Britain spent billions of pounds replacing four

:00:21. > :00:26.submarines that carry Trident missiles? Theresa May says it would

:00:27. > :00:31.be grossly irresponsible not to but Labour MPs are divided over the

:00:32. > :00:35.issue. We'll have all the details. One minute's silence will be held

:00:36. > :00:42.across France in memory of the 84 people killed in Nice. We will have

:00:43. > :00:47.a report on those most affected. They say you can grieve for three

:00:48. > :00:52.days, the first two days are very important to be around with your

:00:53. > :00:59.families. It is still shocked, still terrible and we asked a very sad but

:01:00. > :01:04.eventually we will be OK. And I will be live in Nice with the latest on

:01:05. > :01:10.those attacks that killed over 80 people. Also, can be Rio Olympics

:01:11. > :01:14.and Paralympics, less than three weeks away, match the success of

:01:15. > :01:16.London 2012? We'll be looking ahead to the games are the group of

:01:17. > :01:18.Olympians. How did winning gold Welcome to the programme,

:01:19. > :01:40.we're live until 11 this morning. Also on the programme today,

:01:41. > :01:42.we'll speak to people living in Turkey, where a staggering 6

:01:43. > :01:45.thousand people have now been arrested following

:01:46. > :01:46.Friday's takeover attempt. Plus the latest from Baton Rouge

:01:47. > :01:48.where three police officers have been shot dead -

:01:49. > :01:51.the latest casualties of America's Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:52. > :01:55.we're talking about this morning - use the hashtag Victoria Live

:01:56. > :02:06.and If you text, you will be charged The top story today. MPs vote on

:02:07. > :02:09.whether to renew the Trident nuclear weapons programme. Theresa May will

:02:10. > :02:14.tell them it would be grossly irresponsible not to do so. The

:02:15. > :02:18.issue divides the Labour Party with leader Jeremy Corbyn promising to

:02:19. > :02:21.vote against but leadership contenders Angela Eagle and Owen

:02:22. > :02:33.Smith backing renewal. Chris Mason has more.

:02:34. > :02:35.Expensive, controversial, but the Prime Minister will argue

:02:36. > :02:38.Theresa May wants the four submarines that carry nuclear

:02:39. > :02:42.?31 billion over 20 years is the government's guess.

:02:43. > :02:45.The subs are based at Faslane on the Clyde, the Scottish

:02:46. > :02:58.Having exited Europe there are a lot of uncertainties in the world,

:02:59. > :03:01.I think the British people would expect us to retain security

:03:02. > :03:03.in the way they've understood for half a century.

:03:04. > :03:12.Now is not the time to gamble with our defence interests.

:03:13. > :03:15.But his boss, Jeremy Corbyn, and others in the party disagree.

:03:16. > :03:18.I think that in the coming months and years I think we will eventually

:03:19. > :03:21.win the argument and I think we will eventually win the vote

:03:22. > :03:23.in parliament, both in terms of moral consequences of nuclear war

:03:24. > :03:26.but also the fact that also the system we're going

:03:27. > :03:27.for isn't particularly effective and in addition

:03:28. > :03:31.Government sources admit tonight's vote is not technically necessary

:03:32. > :03:35.but they say it is important that Parliament has a say.

:03:36. > :03:38.Ministers are highly likely to get their way and secure backing

:03:39. > :03:54.Lets talk to Norman Smith in Westminster. Hi, Norman, how will

:03:55. > :03:59.the vote go? Almost certain to be a huge majority to press ahead with

:04:00. > :04:02.Trident. The funny thing is, we don't actually have to have a vote,

:04:03. > :04:05.because Parliament has already agreed we will spend the cash, we

:04:06. > :04:10.are pressing ahead with building these submarines. Although there is

:04:11. > :04:16.a kind of fear that we haven't had a formal vote on it since 2007 and it

:04:17. > :04:19.is bluntly, all about politics. Theresa May wants to send out a

:04:20. > :04:23.message of the new Prime Minister getting on with the job, doing the

:04:24. > :04:26.heavy lifting of government and she wants to have a vote on something

:04:27. > :04:31.that the Tories can agree on after the divisions of the Brexit vote and

:04:32. > :04:34.she wants to cause Labour maximum grief because she knows of the

:04:35. > :04:41.profound and huge tensions within the ranks over the issues because

:04:42. > :04:44.they face a 3-way split with Jeremy Corbyn piffling renewal, some of the

:04:45. > :04:51.Shadow Cabinet abstaining and some in favour, although Michael Fallon

:04:52. > :04:55.insisted today that it was not about politics. We have postponed this

:04:56. > :04:58.vote for several months because of the referendum and the elections

:04:59. > :05:05.before it. There will be a large and above of MPs, MPs from all sides of

:05:06. > :05:10.the House or not always supported a nuclear deterrent and will support

:05:11. > :05:15.it tonight. We don't see this as a party issue. I hope we will get the

:05:16. > :05:19.largest majority from Parliament. Awkward for Labour because the

:05:20. > :05:23.official party policy from the last election is to support the renewal

:05:24. > :05:28.of Trident, we know there is a review going on and we know that Mr

:05:29. > :05:31.Corbyn would dearly like the party to oppose nuclear weapons although

:05:32. > :05:36.no sign of a fixed policy imaging any time soon. Today the Shadow

:05:37. > :05:41.Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry had to resort to saying that this

:05:42. > :05:46.was all game playing by the Tories. Theresa May talks about it being

:05:47. > :05:50.reckless for us not to vote today. I think it is reckless to plough on

:05:51. > :05:54.ahead with the most expensive of all the options and there are step

:05:55. > :05:58.dancer can take. I think it's about heart of the Labour philosophy that

:05:59. > :06:04.we support multilateralism. There's a tradition that goes back to Harold

:06:05. > :06:11.Wilson and Margaret Beckett and this government is making no effort on

:06:12. > :06:16.the multilateral front at all. One thing that matters is that the SNP

:06:17. > :06:19.is opposed to the renewal of Trident, it reflects the growing

:06:20. > :06:23.divide between Scotland and the rest of the UK and it also matters

:06:24. > :06:28.because the Trident fleet is based in Scotland, where the SNP say that

:06:29. > :06:29.if they were independent they would ask

:06:30. > :06:43.With the rest of today's News, Joanna Gosling in the newsroom. Good

:06:44. > :06:47.morning. President Obama has urged Americans to stay calm after the

:06:48. > :06:52.fatal shooting of three policemen in Louisiana. Three other officers were

:06:53. > :06:55.wounded, one critically, in the attack by a gunman at a petrol

:06:56. > :07:00.station in Baton Rouge. The gunman was shot dead at the scene. One

:07:01. > :07:04.minute's silence will be held across France at 11am today in memory of

:07:05. > :07:10.the 84 people killed in the lorry attack in Nice on Thursday. Former

:07:11. > :07:13.French President Nicolas Sarkozy has accused the country's government of

:07:14. > :07:16.failing to do enough to protect the country. 12,000 police observers

:07:17. > :07:21.have been called up to boost security in the wake of the

:07:22. > :07:26.killings. EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today are

:07:27. > :07:28.expected to call upon the Turkish president resident bird organ to

:07:29. > :07:32.respect the rule of law and human rights. As he deals with those who

:07:33. > :07:35.organised the failed coup against an -- president the dog. Utter

:07:36. > :07:43.president bird gun. Over the weekend coming acted

:07:44. > :07:47.swiftly against those he accuses of being part of, or backing the plot.

:07:48. > :07:52.The present be are under arrest including top military aides and

:07:53. > :07:56.thousands of members of the judiciary -- 6000 people are under

:07:57. > :08:00.arrest. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is at the meeting of Foreign

:08:01. > :08:05.Minister is and has added his voice to those calling for restraint. He

:08:06. > :08:09.is having talks on UK plans to leave the EU and said progress was already

:08:10. > :08:13.being made. Really do message I will be taking to our friends is that we

:08:14. > :08:17.will be taking steps to leave the European Union but that does not

:08:18. > :08:22.mean that we will be leaving Europe, we will not abandon our leading role

:08:23. > :08:26.in European participation and co-operation of all kinds. I had a

:08:27. > :08:29.good conversation to that effect last night with the high

:08:30. > :08:33.representative and she agreed very much that there was a role that

:08:34. > :08:38.Britain should continue to play. People aged under 35 are set to

:08:39. > :08:44.become the first generation to earn less than their predecessors

:08:45. > :08:49.suggests research. The Resolution Foundation found that the generation

:08:50. > :08:54.who reached adulthood in the year 2000 and ?8,000 less in their 20s

:08:55. > :08:58.than the previous generation X. If their pay rises at the same rate as

:08:59. > :09:00.those who went before them the average career earnings of the

:09:01. > :09:05.course of their working lives will be less than their predecessors.

:09:06. > :09:10.Taylor Woodrow's high-profile social media spat with canny arrest and Kim

:09:11. > :09:16.Kardashian continues. She is accusing the couple of character

:09:17. > :09:21.assassination -- tailor Swift. It began when she complained about a

:09:22. > :09:25.lyric about her in the song Famous, that was followed by Kim Kardashian

:09:26. > :09:28.posting a series of videos appearing to show her husband talking to the

:09:29. > :09:34.singer about the track, claiming that the footage proved that Taylor

:09:35. > :09:38.Swift had approved the controversial words. She stands by her

:09:39. > :09:42.allegations. She had not approved them because she had not been told

:09:43. > :09:55.what was in the lyrics! More about that later.

:09:56. > :10:02.In a moment we will be in Nice talking to some of the families

:10:03. > :10:08.affected by the attack on Friday. We will have a report from our

:10:09. > :10:14.correspondent who has spent the last three days there. This, the sport

:10:15. > :10:18.with Jessica, and incredible and to The Open at Royal Troon, for those

:10:19. > :10:24.who do not follow the golf, why was it so stunning? It was incredible.

:10:25. > :10:28.Henrik Stenson, the world under six, there is so much talk about the top

:10:29. > :10:32.three in the world going into this and yet Henrik Stenson dominated it.

:10:33. > :10:38.What a we to claim his first major. He broke records on his way to

:10:39. > :10:43.clinching The Open and why would the crowds with an exciting final round

:10:44. > :10:48.battle with Phil Mickelson. Henrik Stenson carded an eight under par 63

:10:49. > :10:52.final round, and joint record, too good for Phil Mickelson to win by

:10:53. > :11:01.three shots. Henrik Stenson played the golf of his life. Just look at

:11:02. > :11:07.this putt. His score of 20 under par is a record for The Open, beating

:11:08. > :11:11.the score by Tiger Woods in 2000, so he's in good company. He lifts the

:11:12. > :11:16.claret jug for the first time in 12 attempts. I felt I had not much to

:11:17. > :11:21.lose, I have been second, been third, only one thing matters,

:11:22. > :11:25.winning. I knew I had to play as good as I can, more or less, to come

:11:26. > :11:32.out on top. I'm very happy that I did that. Serve extends and becomes

:11:33. > :11:36.the first Scandinavian man to win a major. Tyrrell Hatton and Rory

:11:37. > :11:41.McIlroy were the highest placed British finishers, 16 shots behind.

:11:42. > :11:47.Somehow influence in the success of an extensive, his caddie comes from

:11:48. > :11:52.Coventry! The whole weekend, we had the best seat in the house. You are

:11:53. > :11:57.trying to help your boys as best you can but it was fantastic, to be

:11:58. > :12:06.around those two, they are great competitors, great to play with, and

:12:07. > :12:09.it was nice to beat them, if I'm honest! England cricket captain

:12:10. > :12:12.Alastair Cook blames naive batting for their loss to Pakistan in the

:12:13. > :12:16.first test. England were chasing runs on the fourth day that stomach

:12:17. > :12:21.the Pakistan bowlers were in great form. That final wicket was taken by

:12:22. > :12:27.Mohammad Amir who has just returned to cricket after a spot fixing ban.

:12:28. > :12:33.Pakistan won by 75 runs and still have the energy to celebrate in

:12:34. > :12:37.style! We had a side capable of beating Pakistan if we played to our

:12:38. > :12:43.potential. We left a few things out there which are frustrating, Trevor

:12:44. > :12:46.and I are discussing it, and players will be disappointed because they

:12:47. > :12:49.know they are better than that. The beauty of a four Test series is that

:12:50. > :12:55.you've got a chance to turn it around. Great Britain minus Andy

:12:56. > :12:58.Murray are into the semifinals of the Davis Cup after beating Serbia.

:12:59. > :13:04.Kyle Edmund won his match in straight sets to give Great Britain

:13:05. > :13:07.and unassailable 3-1 lead. Britain now play Argentina at home in

:13:08. > :13:12.September. Andy Murray, fresh from his Wimbledon rogues, was watching

:13:13. > :13:15.in Belgrade. Chris Froome has kept his lead in the Tour de France after

:13:16. > :13:22.coming through one of the hardest mountain stages. On the 15th stage,

:13:23. > :13:26.he saw off the threat of his nearest challengers to maintain his hold on

:13:27. > :13:30.the yellow jersey. He is leading by one minute and 47 seconds as he goes

:13:31. > :13:38.for his third Tour de France victory. If he does win the tour

:13:39. > :13:40.he'll be the first British cyclist to win 3Com incredible. My headlines

:13:41. > :13:43.at 930. In just under two hours,

:13:44. > :13:45.people across France will fall silent to remember the 84 people

:13:46. > :13:48.brutally killed in the The tragedy has inevitably prompted

:13:49. > :13:53.a political response, with people being urged to join

:13:54. > :13:55.the army reserve force, and demands for foreign nationals with links

:13:56. > :13:58.to radical Islam to be But for many in Nice itself,

:13:59. > :14:03.the fallout from the attack remains intensely personal,

:14:04. > :14:07.with funerals taking place, and 18 people, including a child,

:14:08. > :14:23.still in a critical condition. James, tell us what it has been like

:14:24. > :14:28.over the last few days? As you can imagine, it has been very, very

:14:29. > :14:32.subdued. This is Midsummer, they should be tourists everywhere,

:14:33. > :14:37.enjoying the weather. We were out last night and there were very few

:14:38. > :14:42.people on the streets. There's still a very large presence here. People

:14:43. > :14:46.are trying to get back to normal, trying to go out and do things they

:14:47. > :14:51.would normally do. If you go to Promenade Des Anglais, where the

:14:52. > :14:53.attack place, runners were out today, people walking their dogs,

:14:54. > :15:00.although they are reminded of what happened by the memorials that still

:15:01. > :15:05.litter the main strip. Small piles of flowers and candles, it is very

:15:06. > :15:10.much in people's consciousness. People still in hospital and only 35

:15:11. > :15:13.of the dead identified. So many families are still waiting for

:15:14. > :15:24.answers and there is still a lot of suffering.

:15:25. > :15:28.they been saying to you? Shock and sadness and something that really

:15:29. > :15:31.strikes me and we spoke when I was in Paris in November during the

:15:32. > :15:35.attacks there, this has really been an attack on families. So many

:15:36. > :15:39.families have been hit by this. So many children and I spent the last

:15:40. > :15:43.couple of days speaking to some of the people who have been affected

:15:44. > :15:48.and seeing how they plan to get on with the rest of their lives.

:15:49. > :15:54.Now memorials to the dead lie on its most famous road.

:15:55. > :15:57.Private tributes to their very public deaths.

:15:58. > :16:06.But for one community, prayer and song help.

:16:07. > :16:17.At the Victor Christian Centre, almost everyone has been affected.

:16:18. > :16:25.She'd been at the celebrations with her family when the truck came.

:16:26. > :16:28.Seeing it approach, her husband Thiago had to make

:16:44. > :16:48.be aware of the carnage he escaped or the injuries he suffered.

:16:49. > :16:56.Ca va, Jonathan?

:16:57. > :17:05.His parents have made the whole experience a game,

:17:06. > :17:10.Apres on a tous saute comme ca.

:17:11. > :17:18.He didn't see anything because when I jumped,

:17:19. > :17:26.I had him against my body and his head was against my body.

:17:27. > :17:28.The rocks on the edge, after, they are like

:17:29. > :17:38.I was afraid if I hit my head I probably could be dead

:17:39. > :17:54.Yolande's torment was more public than most.

:17:55. > :17:57.When her friend lost her baby on the seafront, she put out

:17:58. > :18:02.an appeal on Facebook and thousands shared it.

:18:03. > :18:04.I had one mission - find the baby.

:18:05. > :18:10.And describe to me when you knew he was safe.

:18:11. > :18:20.I was so relieved I was crying with joy.

:18:29. > :18:31.We really believe that together we are stronger but we can be

:18:32. > :18:33.together in the good times, like we celebrated her sister's

:18:34. > :18:37.baptism a couple of weeks ago, which is when we met the baby

:18:38. > :18:39.and the family obviously, but we also really need to be

:18:40. > :18:44.It's easy to be around people when everything is fun and it's

:18:45. > :18:48.a party, but it's when it gets hard, that's when you see who your friends

:18:49. > :18:51.are, and who will stand with you and pray with you and believe

:18:52. > :18:55.and even go out onto the field like she did to look for the baby.

:18:56. > :18:58.It may not look like much but this little church hidden away

:18:59. > :19:00.in the centre of Nice is doing what it can

:19:01. > :19:05.So many people in their congregation were affected in last week's

:19:06. > :19:10.attacks, and it's a community in need of healing.

:19:50. > :19:53.Ahmed's pain at his wife's loss is clear.

:20:06. > :20:09."And now we have to bury her and I have to deal with all that.

:20:10. > :20:13.It's important that I have my family around me.

:21:06. > :21:08.The first two days are very important to be around your family

:21:09. > :21:13.It's terrible and we are still very, very sad, but eventually

:21:14. > :21:27.Faith, it looms large once more in the debate that has

:21:28. > :21:39.But for some of its survivors, the comfort it provides is crucial.

:21:40. > :21:46.Well, as I said in that report, the spotlight has once again been thrown

:21:47. > :21:50.on the role of Islam in France. We should make clear that Mohamed

:21:51. > :21:53.Bouhlel had no actual links to Isis that have been found by the

:21:54. > :21:57.authorities. They have made that clear, although Isis has claimed

:21:58. > :22:01.responsibility, but nevertheless, it does raise questions about the role

:22:02. > :22:09.of Islam in France and to that end we're joined by two guests this

:22:10. > :22:14.morning. First, you run a mosque, a newly opened mosque in Nice and a

:22:15. > :22:20.student from Morocco who is here visiting, we will speaking to you in

:22:21. > :22:25.a minute. First of all, imam and for our viewers at home, the imam

:22:26. > :22:30.doesn't speak English. I will be speaking to him in French and I will

:22:31. > :22:34.let you know what he says. I've asked him what the Muslim

:22:35. > :22:48.community is telling him at the moment about how they're feeling?

:22:49. > :22:55.The Muslim community is really, really, really hurt by what happened

:23:15. > :23:19.victims particularly and actually one of the first to be hit by the

:23:20. > :23:22.truck as I said in my report, was a Muslim woman.

:23:23. > :23:42.SPEAKS IN FRENCH He said at least 20 Muslims were

:23:43. > :23:46.killed in the attacks and her son, who was there on the night, who we

:23:47. > :23:58.spoke to, is an active member of the community.

:23:59. > :24:03.SPEAKS IN FRENCH So we shouldn't make comparisons between this

:24:04. > :24:18.horrific act and the foundation of Islam.

:24:19. > :24:23.SPEAKS IN FRENCH The story of Islam is one of love, it doesn't matter

:24:24. > :24:29.about one's religion, a believer or unbeliever. This is abblutly nothing

:24:30. > :24:32.to do with Islam. -- absolutely nothing to do with

:24:33. > :24:36.Islam. SPEAKS

:24:37. > :24:40.IN FRENCH I'm asking him what he believes that should be done to

:24:41. > :24:44.better integrate Muslims because even if it wasn't Mohamed Bouhlel,

:24:45. > :24:47.there are serious issues over integration of Muslims in this city.

:24:48. > :25:13.SPEAKS IN FRENCH He says you shouldn't generalise.

:25:14. > :25:17.Islam is a real part of French society and these acts are singular

:25:18. > :25:21.and it is really important to make sure that people come together

:25:22. > :25:26.during times like these and don't draw distinctions. I'd like to move

:25:27. > :25:29.on to my next guest. Thank you for joining us. You are a student

:25:30. > :25:32.visiting from Morocco and you were there on the night. Can you tell us

:25:33. > :25:36.what happened? Well, in the very beginning I was with my friend at

:25:37. > :25:43.his apartment. We heard the fireworks so we went to check them

:25:44. > :25:54.out. We saw the show. When it ended, we started taking pictures and

:25:55. > :25:58.videos and the promenade was super crowded, there was lots of kids,

:25:59. > :26:01.children and old people. We were taking pictures and videos until we

:26:02. > :26:06.hear the people screaming in the back and we looked and we saw them

:26:07. > :26:11.running and pushing each other. It was very difficult to run because it

:26:12. > :26:16.was super crowded. So I was shocked at what I saw because I saw the

:26:17. > :26:22.truck hitting people in the front of me. I didn't understand at the

:26:23. > :26:27.beginning. I was really shocked and I froze in my place for around five

:26:28. > :26:35.seconds until I realised I had to run. So I ran towards the beach and

:26:36. > :26:44.I got separated from my friend. What were you feeling in that moment that

:26:45. > :26:47.you got separated? Well, to be honest I was really, really scared.

:26:48. > :26:52.I didn't know what was going to happen to my friend or to me. I went

:26:53. > :26:59.running to the beach side and there was a bench blocking me from running

:27:00. > :27:04.so I had to jump over it. I fell on a lady there. You fell on a lady who

:27:05. > :27:08.was already behind the bench? Yes, she was trying to run too. She was

:27:09. > :27:16.on the floor. The truck was really close to me. So moments after

:27:17. > :27:20.jumping around three seconds, I just closed my eyes and then I heard the

:27:21. > :27:25.bench getting smashed and the lights and everything. So it just passed

:27:26. > :27:29.right next to me. How are you feeling right now? I'm feeling

:27:30. > :27:36.really lucky to survive. I'm really lucky. I thank God, I'm so grateful.

:27:37. > :27:41.And you're on holiday. Yes. Is it going to stop you coming back? To be

:27:42. > :27:47.honest no, I will come back, I love the city, but it is not safe

:27:48. > :27:50.anywhere in the world now. Not safe anywhere in the world now. Thank you

:27:51. > :27:53.for joining us. That's a sentiment I've heard time and time again this

:27:54. > :27:57.weekend and you've heard from two individuals here who can speak

:27:58. > :28:01.perhaps on behalf of themselves, but on behalf of the Muslim community.

:28:02. > :28:04.This is an attack that has hit all kinds of people from all kinds of

:28:05. > :28:09.backgrounds and all kinds of religions.

:28:10. > :28:14.STUDIO: Thank you very much, James. James Long Man our reporter in Nice.

:32:51. > :32:54.of the night for people watching from the UK -

:32:55. > :32:56.how excited are you about We have seven Olympic and Paralympic

:32:57. > :33:00.gold and silver medal winners here to tell us how it

:33:01. > :33:04.changed their lives and tell us which athletes we should be watching

:33:05. > :33:09.out for in these games. But first here's one of our spine

:33:10. > :33:15.tingling films which will give you goosebumps looking back to those

:33:16. > :33:38.heady days in London, # Don't tell the gods I left a mess,

:33:51. > :33:59.Millions of people around the globe are preparing to tune in to follow

:34:00. > :34:05.In the next two weeks, we will show all what has

:34:06. > :34:18.made London one of the greatest cities in the world.

:34:19. > :34:23.For the athletes gathered here on the eve of

:34:24. > :34:25.this great endeavour, I say that to you is

:34:26. > :34:26.given something precious and

:34:27. > :35:02.To run faster, to jump higher, to be stronger.

:35:03. > :35:41.It's a golden triumph for Andy Murray.

:35:42. > :35:43.There is a truth to sport, a

:35:44. > :35:58.This is what I've dreamt of my entire

:35:59. > :36:14.In every Olympic sport there is all that matters in life.

:36:15. > :36:22.And one day we will tell our children and

:36:23. > :36:37.our grandchildren that when our time came, we did it right.

:36:38. > :36:43.We have some of Britain's greatest Olympic and Paralympic

:36:44. > :36:53.Colin Jackson who won silver in the 110m hurdles in his first

:36:54. > :37:07.won boxing gold in Sydney 16 years ago

:37:08. > :37:09.MARK HUNTER and ZAC PURCHASE - together won rowing gold in Beijing

:37:10. > :37:20.Tessa Sanderson-White who's competed at 6 Olympic Games

:37:21. > :37:25.MICHAEL JAMIESON who won silver in the 200m breaststroke in London 2012

:37:26. > :37:27.and RICHARD WHITEHEAD - won gold in the T42 200m

:37:28. > :37:36.Welcome, everyone, so nice to get this collection of people around the

:37:37. > :37:41.table! I will start with a sombre note, if you don't mind. We know

:37:42. > :37:46.that world events lately have been pretty horrific and pretty divisive.

:37:47. > :37:50.And for international harmony the Olympics and Paralympics do unite

:37:51. > :37:57.people in a way that perhaps not many other sporting events do. Is

:37:58. > :38:01.that fair? Yeah, I would agree 100%. I think sport has that unique

:38:02. > :38:05.ability to do that, to galvanise nations in a friendly manner. We

:38:06. > :38:10.have all experienced, when we go to the Olympics and sit in restaurants

:38:11. > :38:13.and your parents of athletes who will compete talk to each other,

:38:14. > :38:17.although they are bitter rivals in the sporting arena but as soon as

:38:18. > :38:23.you come together you have that general lovely feeling that sport

:38:24. > :38:27.can truly bring. Tessa? Absolutely. I think the Olympic games is the

:38:28. > :38:31.greatest sporting show on Earth, it really is. It brings together a

:38:32. > :38:37.combination of people, you make new friends from it, win, lose, draw

:38:38. > :38:46.come if you win, fantastic, you enjoy the euphoria, but you can

:38:47. > :38:48.celebrate with the people who have not done so well. It's just a

:38:49. > :38:51.sporting show that is unique. A unique window. It was the best

:38:52. > :38:56.pathway I could ever have chosen, going through sport and going to an

:38:57. > :39:03.Olympics. Richard, its unite people. -- it unites people. Yes, definitely

:39:04. > :39:07.in 2012 we saw the effect that the Olympics and the Paralympics have

:39:08. > :39:11.socially. It broke down barriers. At the time we are at the moment we

:39:12. > :39:14.need people to come together and support each other, and for me that

:39:15. > :39:19.is important and the power of sport definitely does that, things

:39:20. > :39:22.together people from lots of social backgrounds, breaks down a lot of

:39:23. > :39:28.barriers and it is a tough time at the moment. I think sport is unique.

:39:29. > :39:33.It has that ability to bring people together, with the Olympics coming

:39:34. > :39:38.and the world watching, it brings the opportunity for people to have a

:39:39. > :39:43.bit of peace we put the differences aside, what is happening around the

:39:44. > :39:47.world, it's such a big occasion, it will draw people from their

:39:48. > :39:52.situation to unite the nation, you are going to follow your country,

:39:53. > :39:57.follow the individuals, it's the perfect time. You saw from Euro 2016

:39:58. > :40:01.how people came together, they've had their atrocities yet all the

:40:02. > :40:04.countries came together for the championships. Hopefully the

:40:05. > :40:09.Olympics will do that worldwide. I will ask you all how winning your

:40:10. > :40:12.medals have changed your lives. You have different stories. Before that

:40:13. > :40:16.I want to talk about Russia, the fact that we have a report today

:40:17. > :40:20.from the World Anti-Doping Agency which will shed more light on these

:40:21. > :40:26.allegations of state-sponsored doping during the Sochi Winter

:40:27. > :40:32.games. Should clean up Russian athletes be banned from competing in

:40:33. > :40:38.the Olympics and Paralympics in Rio? I don't mind who starts. Mark? It's

:40:39. > :40:44.a really difficult question, because you have athletes who are going to

:40:45. > :40:48.be clean but then you have this kind of government funded programme where

:40:49. > :40:53.athletes are being made to take these supplements. I think it's

:40:54. > :40:58.quite harsh. We don't have that in the UK. We portray ourselves as

:40:59. > :41:02.having clean sport. We had it in rowing with the Russian team, the

:41:03. > :41:05.actual governing body got banned, the coaches were fired and they had

:41:06. > :41:11.to bring in new coaches that were supposedly clean. But has apparently

:41:12. > :41:15.been OK since 2006, that is just one sport. Other sports have that

:41:16. > :41:19.problem is, we had that problem in 2006. You shook your head when he

:41:20. > :41:26.said that they were supposedly clean. Look at the results, they

:41:27. > :41:29.didn't have a single finalist since 2006. We'll have to see what

:41:30. > :41:34.happens. The only way they will get back to the top is returned to their

:41:35. > :41:38.old ways. Think the government of sport needs to work from the same

:41:39. > :41:42.playing field. It needs to be clean. The athletes need to know that they

:41:43. > :41:49.are going into the games knowing it is about how much training you have

:41:50. > :41:54.done, and going out and performing. Imagine you are a Russian swim and

:41:55. > :41:59.you are clean. Imagine if you were banned, a Russian swimmer. Imagine

:42:00. > :42:03.if you are banned because it is a state-sponsored doping programme.

:42:04. > :42:08.What would you think? You cannot deny it is a huge decision. I

:42:09. > :42:12.certainly don't envy the person has to make that final call but there

:42:13. > :42:16.has to be a line drawn at some stage. If you look at this latest

:42:17. > :42:28.supplement we've seen in the news lately, Maria Sharapova, and Russian

:42:29. > :42:34.females, an meldonium, there has been involvement in other Russian

:42:35. > :42:38.sports. The most important thing we can do now is educate the public

:42:39. > :42:42.because it's very unfortunate side to spot but we need to acknowledge

:42:43. > :42:48.it is there because so long we've tried to sweep at the rug, and we

:42:49. > :42:51.need to look at the positive results which I completely understand but

:42:52. > :42:59.for me, now looking at, for example, athletes like Tyson gave failing the

:43:00. > :43:02.test for testosterone which is undeniable it performing enhancing

:43:03. > :43:08.drug, that's not the same as Alan Baxter, the British skier who failed

:43:09. > :43:11.the taking code and influenza remedies. And the implication that

:43:12. > :43:18.that failed test had, not only on his career accent on sport, is

:43:19. > :43:22.sport, the funding that the UK generated from that sport. The

:43:23. > :43:27.legacy from that failed test is still there. Colin, should the clean

:43:28. > :43:33.athletes be banned, should the Russian athletes not be in Rio? If

:43:34. > :43:36.you are an athlete going to the Olympics the very first thing you

:43:37. > :43:39.want to feel is that you are representing your country. So if you

:43:40. > :43:44.are going there and not representing your country, what's the reason for

:43:45. > :43:49.going? If you win and the flag is raised what flag with a raise feel?

:43:50. > :43:54.It's that emotion climbing onto the rostrum and seeing your achievements

:43:55. > :43:58.recognised in the right manner which is representing your country.

:43:59. > :44:02.Anything of that magnitude. I feel really sorry for the athletes who

:44:03. > :44:06.have worked really hard for years and years and years to get into a

:44:07. > :44:12.position, who are clean, to be able to go and compete, and suddenly you

:44:13. > :44:16.pulled away from it. It seems like you are punished twice, because the

:44:17. > :44:19.first thing is, you're punished for not going, and then you are punished

:44:20. > :44:25.because you could achieve what you want because the drug cheats are in

:44:26. > :44:29.front of you. So for the clean athletes, it's huge. I want a

:44:30. > :44:36.definitive yes or No, should the clean ones be banned? Yes. Banned.

:44:37. > :44:39.Because it is a state grant programme, it's on those like you

:44:40. > :44:44.have to get rid of everyone because you don't know who this cheating so

:44:45. > :44:49.everyone is guilty by association. It is terrible... You've got to draw

:44:50. > :44:54.the line somewhere. Because the Russians have proved that are doing

:44:55. > :44:59.now, the laboratory, it's more like a drug feed, giving them to the

:45:00. > :45:04.athletes to make them better. If you are going to say to you and you will

:45:05. > :45:08.be banned, but not you... The evidence is there. Me, I just think

:45:09. > :45:14.there should be a total ban on everybody. Set that example, said

:45:15. > :45:16.that standard, because you've got to do that, how else will you abolish

:45:17. > :45:26.this? Rio The bad thing for these athletes

:45:27. > :45:33.is these drugs are actually really bad for you, long-term. Yes,

:45:34. > :45:37.absolutely. Long-term they are destroying their bodies taking this

:45:38. > :45:42.to get this unfair advantage and I don't understand the logic of that.

:45:43. > :45:48.I want to ask you about the Zika virus, Mark you're going out to

:45:49. > :45:52.commentate, I think your wife may have raised an issue or two you

:45:53. > :45:59.about you going there. Congratulations. So you've taken the

:46:00. > :46:07.decision to go, the world's top four golfers said no, what do we think?

:46:08. > :46:13.It is a question, should golf be there? If it is not the pinnacle of

:46:14. > :46:17.your sport why would you introduce a new sport and one has said he

:46:18. > :46:20.wouldn't be bothered watching it because it doesn't mean anything to

:46:21. > :46:25.him. He could have kept his mouth shut? He was fed-up with the same

:46:26. > :46:31.question. So it is convenient for them to use that as an excuse. I've

:46:32. > :46:34.done loads of research myself because if you read things in the

:46:35. > :46:37.paper or online you get so many different things come out and you

:46:38. > :46:42.don't know what to believe and one of the stats I pulled out that I've

:46:43. > :46:46.used to convince my wife, there is more chance of me walking down the

:46:47. > :46:52.street being in a pedestrian accident with a car than me catching

:46:53. > :46:56.Zika so I've done pretty well up to now. It is frightening because you

:46:57. > :46:58.know, you don't know what to believe and you think about any Olympic

:46:59. > :47:02.Games, there is always something that come out in the media that is

:47:03. > :47:07.ramped up to the max to kind of put people off. The chance may not come

:47:08. > :47:11.again. It is not that you won't, but if you don't take it right now

:47:12. > :47:15.because we know what it is like, you trained for so many years and the

:47:16. > :47:19.Games comes and it is there in front of you, a chance to get a medal and

:47:20. > :47:28.do well and up your game and you say no. Tell me what you think about the

:47:29. > :47:35.fact that golf shouldn't be in the Olympics, maybe Zika came along and

:47:36. > :47:40.it is convenient for some golfers? It was introduced to help the

:47:41. > :47:46.Olympics reach a greater audience. The IOC is a business and the

:47:47. > :47:49.Olympic Games, the revenue associate with that is billions of dollars so

:47:50. > :47:55.I can understand why they've done it. I don't agree with it. In terms

:47:56. > :47:58.of the Zika virus I think unfortunately, I think, you know,

:47:59. > :48:01.the golfers in particular have just, they haven't done themselves any

:48:02. > :48:06.favours with the statements they've made in the media, but I think the

:48:07. > :48:15.only kind of fear left surrounding the virus is they don't have as far

:48:16. > :48:20.as I'm aware, a closer treatment or a vaccine to combat it. It time

:48:21. > :48:23.Richard to put the Paralympics and the Olympics together as one huge

:48:24. > :48:28.sporting event? Do you prefer it still being separate? I think when

:48:29. > :48:34.you talk to the athletes and the people that have been involved in

:48:35. > :48:39.the Olympic and Paralympic movement they all are definitely different in

:48:40. > :48:43.respect to the values and I think it needs to be separate in the fact

:48:44. > :48:46.that there is lots of events with the Paralympics and if you put those

:48:47. > :48:54.with the Olympic programme it would be too big an event and also, the

:48:55. > :49:00.public wouldn't be able to recognise what which event goes with which

:49:01. > :49:04.because there are so many events in the Paralympic programme. I feel

:49:05. > :49:09.show casing an event within the Olympic programme would be better to

:49:10. > :49:15.highlighting the inclusion of sport. I enjoy the Paralympics, the same as

:49:16. > :49:18.my fellow Olympians do, their event, and I just don't think it actually

:49:19. > :49:25.fits together. What sand duning, Zac? I agree. It is an amazing

:49:26. > :49:30.celebration of Paralympic sport to keep it as its own environment gives

:49:31. > :49:33.it more focus and more awareness around the world. Keep it separate

:49:34. > :49:39.and really enjoy the celebration there. I want to ask all of you

:49:40. > :49:45.about how winning the medals that you have won has changed your life,

:49:46. > :49:56.if it has changed your life. Tessa, out of everybody here, I think you

:49:57. > :49:59.won the first medal, LA, in 1984... LAUGHTER

:50:00. > :50:04.Stop it, you weren't even born, I'm 60!

:50:05. > :50:10.You look 20 years younger. That's true, Tessa, it's true. It totally

:50:11. > :50:15.changed my life. I worked until I won the Olympic Games. I had to hold

:50:16. > :50:18.a full-time job and duck in and out of training and a couple of weeks

:50:19. > :50:24.after that, I came home with a gold medal and I lost my job. Well, the

:50:25. > :50:28.company I worked for were liquid dated and I had no sponsorship, I

:50:29. > :50:31.had to turn the whole thing around and really put myself out there to

:50:32. > :50:37.find work. There was no Lottery funding and things like that to help

:50:38. > :50:41.me. So it is it has changed me in the sense that I have had the medal

:50:42. > :50:45.now, I have had to make it work for me. Without that medal, I think it

:50:46. > :50:51.would have still been very, very difficult. You know, it has worked

:50:52. > :50:54.in my favour, it is one of the best achievements I could ever, ever have

:50:55. > :51:00.done in my life, but you have to really sort of know how o to use it

:51:01. > :51:06.and when to use T I do a lot of things with schools and I go and do

:51:07. > :51:11.those and you know, motivational things, they give me a lot of

:51:12. > :51:17.confidence, I ad hoc speak to people and people ask me to come to their

:51:18. > :51:24.dinners and talk, it is my living doing those. Audley, you won gold in

:51:25. > :51:29.2000. How has it changed your life? I went to Sydney, spouting off

:51:30. > :51:35.telling everything I was going to win a gold and there was a lot

:51:36. > :51:41.riding on it. At that time bobbing wasn't a lottery funded sport. We

:51:42. > :51:48.set up the boxing union. We won the Commonwealth Games with four golds.

:51:49. > :51:52.If we could go to Sydney and win golds, we would become a lottery

:51:53. > :51:56.funded sport. A lot was riding on it. I knew I was ready to go there

:51:57. > :52:01.and shine and winning a gold and when I came back, everything changed

:52:02. > :52:06.from everybody, I came back a household name with the power of the

:52:07. > :52:11.BBC and I was able to conclude my own television deal, I was able to

:52:12. > :52:15.turn professional and the beautiful thing where boxing is today is that

:52:16. > :52:19.everybody knew who I was. You want to be celebrated for who you are and

:52:20. > :52:22.what you won because it was on the BBC, and because it was a gold, I

:52:23. > :52:27.had a career with everybody following me as a professional and

:52:28. > :52:34.boxing the next generation they had the Lottery funding so you see the

:52:35. > :52:40.story, we have got 12 boxers qualified for Rio. In Sydney we only

:52:41. > :52:50.had two. Funding, we're in the top three of sporting for boxing. In

:52:51. > :52:55.2000, we weren't... Now the got people like Nicola Adams hoping to

:52:56. > :53:01.retain her title in Rio. That's an amazing story. Let me bring in Zac

:53:02. > :53:05.and Mark, Beijing, gold, London 2012, silver, Mark we were doing a

:53:06. > :53:11.radio programme with an audience with mums and dads of athletes,

:53:12. > :53:15.Olympians, kids, people who were inspired by the Team GB athletes and

:53:16. > :53:21.you told the audience that day that you felt you had let them down by

:53:22. > :53:25.winning silver and an eight-year-old boy said to you, actually contrary

:53:26. > :53:30.to what you just said, you've inspired me. It was really, really

:53:31. > :53:35.moving. Are you reconciled to winning silver in 2012 or not? I

:53:36. > :53:39.don't think I will ever be satisfied with coming second. It depends on

:53:40. > :53:45.the expectation of what you're going out to do. If you're going out to

:53:46. > :53:50.win a bronze or silver, but we were going out to win gold because that's

:53:51. > :53:53.what we experienced previous to do anything other than that, we failed.

:53:54. > :53:58.We felt like we let everybody down because we were going interest there

:53:59. > :54:02.to win. That young boy, I remember that day, it brought back some

:54:03. > :54:07.memories, but I have had that a lot when you go and speak to kids when

:54:08. > :54:12.they say, that inspired me. You prepare mentally and physically, the

:54:13. > :54:17.emotional side you have no control over and when we didn't get to win,

:54:18. > :54:22.the emotional side just took over and we kind of fell apart on the

:54:23. > :54:27.podium. Zac, are you reconciled to it? No.

:54:28. > :54:35.Really? If we look back at 2008... I want to fix this for you. I don't

:54:36. > :54:40.like this! I know. I know. We had the dream season in 2008. We won

:54:41. > :54:43.every race and we came back with three World Cup gold medals and

:54:44. > :54:46.Olympic record and all those wonderful things and fast forward

:54:47. > :54:52.four years to 2012 and we had the worst season we ever had, we ca last

:54:53. > :54:57.in the World Cups, our training wasn't as good as it could have

:54:58. > :55:06.been. The Olympics let us rescue the season with a gold medal and we were

:55:07. > :55:10.0.7 second off it. When we got to the Games, we weren't on paper going

:55:11. > :55:13.to make the final. Not everybody outside the sport knew that, but we

:55:14. > :55:16.knew we had to turn it around. During the Olympic Games you will

:55:17. > :55:19.try and move on every round, but each race felt like a final because

:55:20. > :55:28.we were trying to prove to ourselves that we still had it. The fact we

:55:29. > :55:39.won the heat was a miracle! Now, you should be proud of what you've done.

:55:40. > :55:44.Let's contrast that feeling of silver with your silver Colin and

:55:45. > :55:50.yours when a number of swimmers did not perform as expected. Presumably

:55:51. > :55:59.you have different feelings about the silvers you won? I'm in between

:56:00. > :56:04.to be honest. I can relate to what Mark and Jack are saying. I went in

:56:05. > :56:09.under the radar a little bit because 2011 I had an injury so I was only

:56:10. > :56:12.fifth at World Championships, I didn't have a great deal of pressure

:56:13. > :56:16.going into London, the reaction from the public was what an amazing

:56:17. > :56:20.medal. It has been a great performance, but you know, I think

:56:21. > :56:26.as time went on, for so long, I held on to that seven 100ths as a margin,

:56:27. > :56:31.that was the difference between success and failure because for us,

:56:32. > :56:37.Olympic gold is the pinnacle of sport. And you know to be separated

:56:38. > :56:42.by fractions of a second after putting at least a decade of work

:56:43. > :56:45.into it and to preparing for it, it's also why we love sport, though,

:56:46. > :56:51.isn't it? That's what sport is about. For me, my silver medal came,

:56:52. > :56:56.I was a bronze medallist the year before. Going on to the Olympic

:56:57. > :57:01.Games which was going to be my very first Olympic Games with these

:57:02. > :57:06.megastars, Tessa was there as an Olympic champion and being able to

:57:07. > :57:09.rub shoulders with the likes of these was really inspirational for

:57:10. > :57:17.me. The next stepping stone was a medal at an Olympic Games at the age

:57:18. > :57:22.of 21 going on to the blocks, really nervous, but excited about getting

:57:23. > :57:26.on to the rostrum and I was projecting myself to four years

:57:27. > :57:31.further on when I would be more experienced and hopefully world

:57:32. > :57:35.number one. So it was a real stepping stone for me in a very

:57:36. > :57:42.positive manner. Yeah, Richard, a gold for you at London 2012? I came

:57:43. > :57:48.from a marathon background so I had to change events completely from

:57:49. > :57:55.26.2 miles to 200 meters! That's crazy! Unfortunately, I went to the

:57:56. > :58:00.IPC and tried to get the marathon put into the programme which it

:58:01. > :58:02.wasn't. Took them to the court of arbitration of sport so it was a

:58:03. > :58:08.massive journey just to get to London. I remember sitting down with

:58:09. > :58:11.my coach at the time a bronze medallist in the Commonwealth and

:58:12. > :58:15.the marathon herself and we were talking about how I was going to get

:58:16. > :58:21.on the team never mind win. So 18 months after, I changed from

:58:22. > :58:27.marathon to 200 meters... That's like some bad joke. It really is.

:58:28. > :58:32.Put in a programme, a really intense programme and get lots of weight on,

:58:33. > :58:38.a marathon runner is a bit skinny and just get on the team really and

:58:39. > :58:44.everything happened. I was in great shape, best shape of my life. The

:58:45. > :58:48.atmosphere of the Paralympics, I embraced that, but the gold medal

:58:49. > :58:55.wasn't the pinnacle for me, that was about being able to open doors for

:58:56. > :59:00.me and since then I've run Land's End to John o' Groats for my patron

:59:01. > :59:05.charity which is what I really wanted to do in sport. The gold

:59:06. > :59:08.medal hasn't really changed who I am as a person, but changed the

:59:09. > :59:12.opportunities I got from it. I want one name from each of you, somebody

:59:13. > :59:16.to look out for, it doesn't have to be a British athlete, it would be

:59:17. > :59:22.nice if it was, who should we be looking out for in these Games?

:59:23. > :59:30.Elaine Thompson, 200, she could win the double. A heavyweight young kid,

:59:31. > :59:34.Acoli he is a heavyweight, but really coming on leaps and bounds

:59:35. > :59:39.and he could be, I have got a few medallists, but he could be a

:59:40. > :59:44.surprise Gold Medallist. Mark and Jack have been conferring. I don't

:59:45. > :59:53.think we have any new youngsters. It doesn't have to be new? Anybody.

:59:54. > :00:00.They have been winning that event, the men's four. I'm going to pick an

:00:01. > :00:05.event, it could be the last time we see the lightweight four. It might

:00:06. > :00:09.be canned in January. In terms of an event, it is a great one to watch

:00:10. > :00:19.and it could be the last time we see it. Tessa? Young Dean Asher Smith is

:00:20. > :00:26.like a gazelle and may not get a medal, but looking four years ahead.

:00:27. > :00:31.She is a fantastic sprinter. James Guy, 200 and 400 mighter and Siobhan

:00:32. > :00:36.O'Connor. The two of them have come on leaps and bounds and Siobhan, she

:00:37. > :00:41.was in London as a 15-year-old, so the both of them are going to take

:00:42. > :00:48.the bull by the horns I think in Rio and we could see medal from them. A

:00:49. > :00:52.Nottingham lad, so I'll pick somebody from Nottingham, Olly Hind.

:00:53. > :00:59.He won gold in London, but he is going for three golds in Rio. Very

:01:00. > :01:04.mature athlete and showed great form this year and hopefully, he

:01:05. > :01:11.performs, I'm going for the double myself, the 100 and 200.

:01:12. > :01:18.Thank you all very much, appreciate your coming from the programme.

:01:19. > :01:19.Coverage on BBC One, BBC Two, and five live. Time for the latest

:01:20. > :01:30.weather. We've got a heatwave, a short Tom

:01:31. > :01:34.Heap wave but we will see the best temperatures of the euro, lots of

:01:35. > :01:37.sunshine in the southern UK, not the case in Scotland and Northern

:01:38. > :01:41.Ireland thanks to these weather fronts which will bring outbreaks of

:01:42. > :01:44.rain. This area of high pressure coming into the country, bringing

:01:45. > :01:50.the hot humid air from the continent will drive hot weather for the next

:01:51. > :01:54.few days. Mist and fog through the morning, England and Wales, plenty

:01:55. > :01:58.of sunshine, this is where we will see temperatures soaring, close to

:01:59. > :02:03.31 Celsius in London this afternoon, cool along the coast, hot anywhere.

:02:04. > :02:06.We could see them to be showers across North and East England

:02:07. > :02:10.although they will be well isolated and most places will be dry, some

:02:11. > :02:13.sunshine across Northern Ireland, turning warmer, for Scotland

:02:14. > :02:20.generally cloudy away from the central belt, and Alex frame, top

:02:21. > :02:27.ten richest 22 degrees. -- outbreaks of rain. It looks like a warm night

:02:28. > :02:32.to come, England and Wales, warm and muggy, no relief from the heat of

:02:33. > :02:38.the day, particularly Irish Sea coastal parts. On Tuesday the peak

:02:39. > :02:41.of the heat will be here, even across Scotland and Northern

:02:42. > :02:46.Ireland, unbroken sunshine and pretty much across-the-board. We

:02:47. > :02:49.could see Tim pitches rising into the low- mid 30s as this hot and

:02:50. > :02:56.humid air comes from the near continent and brings his impressive

:02:57. > :03:04.values -- temperatures rising. Maybe 34 Celsius, possibly 35 in the

:03:05. > :03:09.south-east, 32 for northern England, 28 or 29 for Scotland and Northern

:03:10. > :03:14.Ireland. No release into Tuesday night, those temperatures. Be high,

:03:15. > :03:20.very warm and muggy to come, so there's every of low pressure will

:03:21. > :03:24.move in, bringing in showers and thunderstorms to Wales, parts of

:03:25. > :03:28.Northern Ireland, Scotland. Some could be very intense. Frequent

:03:29. > :03:32.lightning, locally torrential downpours bringing flash flooding,

:03:33. > :03:36.on Wednesday it looks like the north of the UK will be battered by

:03:37. > :03:42.Intel's thunderstorms. Another hot day in the South East, -- intense

:03:43. > :03:47.thunderstorms. On Thursday and Friday it looks like all areas will

:03:48. > :03:48.be cooler and fresher with warm spells of sunshine and also a few

:03:49. > :03:53.scattered showers. Hello, it's just after 10 o'clock,

:03:54. > :03:55.I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme if you've

:03:56. > :04:07.just joined us. MPs will decide today whether four

:04:08. > :04:10.submarines should be replaced, carrying nuclear missiles. Labour

:04:11. > :04:13.politicians are divided, yet the government says they are essential

:04:14. > :04:16.to security. We'll get the latest from Westminster.

:04:17. > :04:19.A minute's silence will be held across France this morning in memory

:04:20. > :04:26.We have been hearing from those caught up in the attack. I was

:04:27. > :04:30.really scared. I did not know what would happen to my friend or me. The

:04:31. > :04:39.truck was really close to me. Moments after jumping, around three

:04:40. > :04:46.seconds, I closed my eyes and then I heard the bench getting smashed. CD

:04:47. > :04:52.full interview on our website. -- you can see the full interview. With

:04:53. > :04:56.less than three weeks to go a group of Paralympic and is and Olympians

:04:57. > :05:01.have been getting us in the mood for the Olympics. I think the Olympic

:05:02. > :05:04.games and the Paralympics is the greatest show on Earth because it

:05:05. > :05:09.brings together a combination of people, you make friends from it,

:05:10. > :05:12.Win, lose, or draw, if you win, fantastic, you'll enjoy the

:05:13. > :05:15.euphoria, and you can celebrate with the biblical haven't done so well.

:05:16. > :05:18.It's becoming a bitter war of words between three of the world's

:05:19. > :05:21.Taylor Swift, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian.

:05:22. > :05:35.The latest on the celebrity spat in the next hour.

:05:36. > :05:58.Here's a summary of the latest news with Joanna. MPs will vote today on

:05:59. > :06:00.whether to replace the four submarines that carry Trident

:06:01. > :06:04.nuclear missiles. Not a binding vote although it will be expected to

:06:05. > :06:09.highlight the Labour Party is bit on the issue. Jeremy Corbyn and his

:06:10. > :06:12.supporters are against renewal although others including the deputy

:06:13. > :06:16.leader Tom Watson will back it. Theresa May says it would be

:06:17. > :06:19.irresponsible to the UK to abandon its nuclear weapons.

:06:20. > :06:21.It's emerged that the gunman who killed three US police officers

:06:22. > :06:24.in the American city of Baton Rouge, had posted video messages

:06:25. > :06:26.complaining about the treatment of African Americans at the hands

:06:27. > :06:30.One of Gavin Long's videos stresses he is not

:06:31. > :06:32.linked to any group but is "affiliated with justice".

:06:33. > :06:34.Three other officers were wounded - one critically -

:06:35. > :06:36.in the attack at a petrol station in Baton Rouge.

:06:37. > :06:38.The gunman was shot dead at the scene.

:06:39. > :06:41.France is to put soldiers outside schools, deploy troops to protect

:06:42. > :06:43.large gatherings and use reservists at tourist landmarks,

:06:44. > :06:46.as part of its response to the Nice terror attack.

:06:47. > :06:49.A minute's silence will be observed across the country in the next hour,

:06:50. > :06:54.The French interior minister spoke in the last hour about

:06:55. > :07:02.TRANSLATION: The activity of the cells in national territory and

:07:03. > :07:12.Europe could lead and make certain places vulnerable. France has never

:07:13. > :07:16.been faced with such a threat to the same level that we are facing now.

:07:17. > :07:19.European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today

:07:20. > :07:23.are expected to call on the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan,

:07:24. > :07:25.to respect the rule of law and human rights

:07:26. > :07:28.as he deals with those who organised the failed coup against him.

:07:29. > :07:31.Mr Erdogan acted swiftly against those he accuses of being

:07:32. > :07:36.Six thousand people are under arrest, including the President's

:11:13. > :11:16.next Tuesday, so we've got a few days before them and we will be in

:11:17. > :11:20.Sheffield practising altogether with the team. Just about getting ready,

:11:21. > :11:25.getting the small things ready and then getting on the plane, and just

:11:26. > :11:33.getting into the atmosphere, soaked up, and getting ready to compete.

:11:34. > :11:38.Exciting? Very. Liam, you competed at London 2012 so you had host

:11:39. > :11:42.nation plays, Rio commute qualified by right, the first time a British

:11:43. > :11:48.and has done that in 20 years. Impressive! Thank you. After London,

:11:49. > :11:53.I told myself, I really want to qualify in my own right. It was

:11:54. > :11:59.touch and go at some points, waiting to hear the news about the ranking,

:12:00. > :12:05.but we got there in the end. It was an amazing feeling to be there. Sam,

:12:06. > :12:11.first Olympics, has he given you any tips because he's done this before!

:12:12. > :12:15.Not yet, I'm hoping he will when we get there! It's a new experience for

:12:16. > :12:21.him as well, since the last one was the home games and now it is his

:12:22. > :12:27.first away games as well. All really excited to get going. Competing in

:12:28. > :12:34.our first Olympics, what does it mean to you? Everyone asks and I'm

:12:35. > :12:39.not sure I can put it into words. It is like that feeling, when I started

:12:40. > :12:43.playing table tennis, the Olympics is the pinnacle of table tennis, and

:12:44. > :12:49.the dream is to get medals there. So it's the first step, isn't it, to

:12:50. > :12:56.qualify, and then get there and try to win the medals. Liam you won

:12:57. > :13:02.bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the singles, how much of

:13:03. > :13:06.the step up with the Olympics be? In Commonwealth week we go there with

:13:07. > :13:10.more of an expectation to win medals, India and Singapore are the

:13:11. > :13:17.strongest countries. My aim was to win a medal. I got there and I was

:13:18. > :13:19.the first English player to win singles out a Commonwealth Games so

:13:20. > :13:24.that gave me confidence. Now I think we stepped up another level, all

:13:25. > :13:29.three of us in the team, we won bronze in the World Championships in

:13:30. > :13:34.March, and now we are going into this Olympics with a lot of

:13:35. > :13:40.confidence that we can go there and compete, I don't want to say it, but

:13:41. > :13:48.may be, win a medal! Final question, medals a possibility? Yeah. Anything

:13:49. > :13:54.can happen! There's always a chance. Thank you so much for coming in,

:13:55. > :13:58.pleasure to talk to you. They you are, Victoria, 19 days until the

:13:59. > :14:04.table tennis, edition starts, if you want to cheer them on. Good luck to

:14:05. > :14:08.me and Sam. Nice to hear from them. Welcome to the programme. It is 13

:14:09. > :14:09.minutes past ten o'clock on a Monday morning.

:14:10. > :14:13.The man who killed three policemen in the American city of Baton Rouge,

:14:14. > :14:14.posted video messages complaining about the treatment

:14:15. > :14:19.of African-Americans by police, before he carried out the attack.

:14:20. > :14:24.Gavin Long, a former US marine, was shot dead

:14:25. > :14:29.after an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement officials.

:14:30. > :14:36.President Obama has called for unity across the country.

:14:37. > :14:43.It is so important that everyone, regardless of race or political

:14:44. > :14:49.party or profession, regardless of what organisations who are a part

:14:50. > :14:52.of, everyone right now, focus on words and actions that can unite

:14:53. > :14:59.this country rather than divide it further. We don't need inflammatory

:15:00. > :15:05.rhetoric. We don't need careless accusations thrown around to score

:15:06. > :15:12.little points or advance an agenda. We need to temper our words and open

:15:13. > :15:18.our hearts, all of us. We need what we saw in Dallas this week. As a

:15:19. > :15:21.community came together to restore order and deeper unity and

:15:22. > :15:26.understanding. We need the kind of efforts we saw this week in meetings

:15:27. > :15:30.between community leaders and police, some of which I participated

:15:31. > :15:34.in when I saw people of goodwill pledged to work together to redo is

:15:35. > :15:41.violence throughout all of our communities. That is what is needed

:15:42. > :15:43.right now. And it is up to all of us to make sure we part of the solution

:15:44. > :15:59.and not part of the problem. Baton ruing is in pain once more.

:16:00. > :16:07.Police responded to calls that an armed man was on the hideway, he

:16:08. > :16:12.turn his gun on them. Three police officers were killed.

:16:13. > :16:21.Three others wounded. One of them critically. A heinous attack on law

:16:22. > :16:27.enforcement claimed the lives of two police officers. One sheriff's

:16:28. > :16:33.deputy and injured three others, one of hom today, right now as we speak

:16:34. > :16:38.is fighting for his life. It is unjustified and it is unjustifiable.

:16:39. > :16:45.The violence, the hatred just has to stop. The gunman who was shot dead

:16:46. > :16:50.at the scene has been identified as Gavin Long. It was his 29th

:16:51. > :16:56.birthday. His motive was unclear, but he said that only violence could

:16:57. > :17:00.stop the people he called bullies. We have to be loud and clear that

:17:01. > :17:05.nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. Attacks on police

:17:06. > :17:11.are an attack on all of us and the rule of law that makes society

:17:12. > :17:17.possible. This has been a city divided dins Alton Sterling was shot

:17:18. > :17:21.by police two weeks ago. This violent video started a call for

:17:22. > :17:25.justice and years of tension between officers and the black community

:17:26. > :17:31.erupted on to the streets in days of demonstrations. Then came this, a

:17:32. > :17:38.lone black gunman took aim at police in Dallas killing five officers. It

:17:39. > :17:44.prompted one of the officers killed to write this on social media.

:17:45. > :17:49."These are trying times. Please don't let tate hate infect your

:17:50. > :17:52.heart." Jackson became a father for the first time only four months ago.

:17:53. > :17:57.The two other police officers who died were also family men. The call

:17:58. > :18:04.in this city is for peace. But right now, it seems so very far away.

:18:05. > :18:11.The two Labour leadership rivals Owen Smith and Angela Eagle

:18:12. > :18:13.will face-off tonight for the right to challenge the current

:18:14. > :18:18.Two days after that attempted takeover of the government

:18:19. > :18:21.290 people lost their lives on Friday night.

:18:22. > :18:26.The government has now arrested 6,000 people including

:18:27. > :18:31.thousands of military personnel and judges after the President

:18:32. > :18:35.Tayyip Erdogan called for a clear-out, a purge

:18:36. > :18:38.of the "virus" that caused the attempted coup.

:18:39. > :18:43.Some are accused of being loyal to a moderate cleric

:18:44. > :18:51.called Fethullah Gulen, who lives in the United States,

:18:52. > :18:57.once a close ally of the President and helped him to come to power,

:18:58. > :19:00.but the president has now accused of masterminding the takeover.

:19:01. > :19:07.Turkey has had four military takeovers since 1960.

:19:08. > :19:09.The army sees itself as the protector of Turkey's democracy

:19:10. > :19:12.That means the state shouldn't impose a religion,

:19:13. > :19:29.Historically the military has stepped in when those values

:19:30. > :19:32.Recently there have been tensions between the Turkish army

:19:33. > :19:35.and President Erdogan over his brand of Islamism, and some

:19:36. > :19:38.A lack of public support is one reason.

:19:39. > :19:40.President Erdogan has the backing of more than half

:19:41. > :19:44.There simply weren't enough soldiers involved in the coup attempt

:19:45. > :19:47.and to take over a country you also need the backing of

:19:48. > :19:53.President Erdogan has now detained thousands of judges to prevent that.

:19:54. > :19:56.Perhaps the biggest issue was there was no international

:19:57. > :20:00.President Erdogan was democratically elected by the people.

:20:01. > :20:03.It seems a contradiction that the plotters were talking

:20:04. > :20:12.about upholding democracy, while bombing Parliament.

:20:13. > :20:16.It's not yet clear who ordered the attempted take-over.

:20:17. > :20:19.The government has blamed Fethullah Gulen, so who is he?

:20:20. > :20:23.He leads the Hizmet movement which is followed by

:20:24. > :20:30.It promotes education and acting for the welfare of others.

:20:31. > :20:33.Mr Gulen was a friend, an ally of President Erdogan.

:20:34. > :20:38.They fell out over a corruption scandal in 2013.

:20:39. > :20:41.Fethullah Gulen now lives in exile in the US and denies being involved

:20:42. > :20:59.Turkey has called for him to be sent back from the States to face trial.

:21:00. > :21:07.Let's get the perspective of people who live in Turkey who witnessed

:21:08. > :21:11.Nader Fekri is British, and a visiting professor living

:21:12. > :21:13.in Istanbul with his wife and two children, he was there

:21:14. > :21:17.Erol Temir is a Turkish businessman from Istanbul who took part

:21:18. > :21:19.in patriotic celebrations over the weekend in support for President

:21:20. > :21:23.And from the capital Ankara, we have 26-year-old student

:21:24. > :21:25.Can Demir who believes President Erdogan staged a fake

:21:26. > :21:29.Lastly, Mehmet Onur Yilmaz is the editor of a local newspaper

:21:30. > :21:34.in Ankara and is worried about the future of his country.

:21:35. > :21:43.Welcome all of you. In terms of what the president is doing now,

:21:44. > :21:52.arresting thousands of people, some military personnel, some judges,

:21:53. > :22:00.what is that about? The president has for a long time delivered a

:22:01. > :22:03.narrative is what a parallel State for a fifth Colm operating in Turkey

:22:04. > :22:08.in the military and the judiciary and the police force and amongst

:22:09. > :22:14.other parts of the State. These people are supporters of Mr Gulen,

:22:15. > :22:18.who is an exiled cleric. Mr Gulen says that they are just his

:22:19. > :22:22.followers, they read his works, he doesn't have any control over them

:22:23. > :22:29.and they are devoted to a different way of running the country.

:22:30. > :22:36.President Erdogan was initially an ally of Mr Gulen, however they are

:22:37. > :22:41.fell out sparly a few years ago and now the Government is hell bent on

:22:42. > :22:46.rooting out on what they say and see as a threat to the State. So many of

:22:47. > :22:51.these people who have been arrested are accused of being part of a

:22:52. > :22:59.moflt, but it must be stressed there is no structure, there is no

:23:00. > :23:05.organisation. . So we will see what happens. Roll, you were Er out to

:23:06. > :23:08.the small hours on Saturday night in Istanbul's square in a show of

:23:09. > :23:15.support for the Turkish Government, for the president, why was that

:23:16. > :23:23.important to you? Hello. Hi,er roll, can you hear me? Yes, I hear you,

:23:24. > :23:30.but not just here, but all of Turkey. Tell me why it was important

:23:31. > :23:39.for you to be out showing support? Because this is not the problem. Mr

:23:40. > :23:48.Gulen began about 40 years ago and like everywhere in the world, we

:23:49. > :23:56.help people. He was helping for the good people. He didn't like any time

:23:57. > :24:04.poor people and poor students. So we didn't know his plan after 30 years

:24:05. > :24:17.later. That's why he was very good with President Erdogan, but his plan

:24:18. > :24:21.I think he will be king of Turkey, so I can't explain what I'm

:24:22. > :24:28.thinking, my English, my opening, but in Turkey now, not all Turkey,

:24:29. > :24:35.not all Turkish people, so last 13 years we he learn about democracy

:24:36. > :24:41.from President Erdogan. You are in the capital. Things, I mean are

:24:42. > :24:55.things back to normal would you say or not really? Not quite really

:24:56. > :25:01.normal. We still see big trucks protecting the state buildings and

:25:02. > :25:06.many other buildings. People cannot go through there. Something is

:25:07. > :25:20.happening which we don't really know what's going on. Right. What do you

:25:21. > :25:26.think about all the arrests? People from different parts of Turkey were

:25:27. > :25:32.arrested. Nobody knows who they are. We really don't know how this number

:25:33. > :25:41.of people could be lifted in this short time. They are suspicious

:25:42. > :25:46.about new torture cases and hundreds of soldiers without any degree is

:25:47. > :25:54.detained in sports facilities. Nobody really can explain what is

:25:55. > :25:57.going on. Members of the constitutional court are detained.

:25:58. > :26:03.If a Government will not follow its own rules so I don't understand what

:26:04. > :26:09.is the difference between a soldier, a military coup and the Government.

:26:10. > :26:17.So it is really, the major problem is nobody feels well and nobody

:26:18. > :26:23.feels safe in Turkey. Can, do you feel safe? Can, can you hear me?

:26:24. > :26:29.Yes, I can hear you. Do you feel safe? Yeah, I feel safe. Everything

:26:30. > :26:35.is normal in Turkey now. That's not what our other guest was saying in

:26:36. > :26:40.Ankara, tell me why you believe this whole attempted takeover was

:26:41. > :26:44.actually a stunt by your president? Yes, I think because everything is

:26:45. > :26:50.controversial made by him, but now, we only talk about the fake coup.

:26:51. > :26:57.There is nothing controversial for him. I don't understand. Everything

:26:58. > :27:03.he made was an aringment in Turkey. Yes. Before this coup. Before last

:27:04. > :27:08.Friday night, but now we are all happy with him. I see what you mean.

:27:09. > :27:12.I understand. He is powerful again. He was losing his power. He was

:27:13. > :27:17.losing his popularity. He was becoming weak. But now, he is really

:27:18. > :27:24.powerful again. Everybody supports him. Even his opposition parties.

:27:25. > :27:33.Yeah, I understand, yeah. Do you buy that? I think it would be very, very

:27:34. > :27:36.difficult. I understand conspiracy theories, I understand why everybody

:27:37. > :27:42.thinks that he is involved somewhere, but the reality of it on

:27:43. > :27:47.Friday night, we have to remember that President Erdogan initially

:27:48. > :27:53.Prime Minister Erdogan has won elections over the past dozen years,

:27:54. > :27:56.four elections as leader of the Government and now as president. He

:27:57. > :28:00.does have massive support within the country, but also and more

:28:01. > :28:06.importantly for democracy, when the attempted coup was taking place, all

:28:07. > :28:11.of the major political parties, the Republican People's Party and the

:28:12. > :28:15.Nationalist Movement and the ADP came out in support of the

:28:16. > :28:19.Government and against the coup. And so, you know, you can argue whether

:28:20. > :28:23.it was a half-hearted attempt, you can argue that it wasn't terribly

:28:24. > :28:27.well planned or executed, now is not the time to go into that, but the

:28:28. > :28:30.reality of it is when the president called the people to go out on the

:28:31. > :28:34.streets, which I must admit at the time, living here, and hearing the

:28:35. > :28:39.gunshots and hearing the explosions and jets and helicopters flying

:28:40. > :28:45.overhead, very Carey time, people did heed that call, you know. I

:28:46. > :28:51.thought tfsz foolhardy, I wouldn't have done it personally, but tens of

:28:52. > :28:55.thousands across Istanbul, across Ankara, all over people came out

:28:56. > :29:00.and, you know, we have to see this as a positive thing for democracy.

:29:01. > :29:06.That people came and supported their elected Government. So I understand

:29:07. > :29:11.what people are saying about this was a conspiracy, this was something

:29:12. > :29:16.that if you like a black flag operation by the president, but

:29:17. > :29:21.there is nothing to indicate it, there is nothing to indicate the

:29:22. > :29:24.president's charge that this was somehow foreign inspired.

:29:25. > :29:28.All right, thank you very much all of you, I appreciate you giving your

:29:29. > :29:32.time this morning, thank you. I know, it is a bit difficult to hear

:29:33. > :29:34.a couple of our guests, we do like to try, I hope you were able to bear

:29:35. > :29:48.with us. MPs will decide whether to spend

:29:49. > :29:51.billions to carry Trident submarines. The Government says the

:29:52. > :29:55.submarines are essential to our security. We will get the latest

:29:56. > :30:00.from Westminster. The bit per war of words playing out on social media.

:30:01. > :30:06.We have got the latest on the celebrity spat between Taylor Swift

:30:07. > :30:14.and Kayne West and Kim car dashin. With the news, here's Joanna

:30:15. > :30:21.in the BBC Newsroom. Theresa May will be making her first

:30:22. > :30:25.overseas visit as Prime Minister this week. She will met Angela

:30:26. > :30:28.Merkel in Berlin on Wednesday and President Hollande in Paris on

:30:29. > :30:32.Thursday. Downing Street has said the separate talks will include how

:30:33. > :30:39.the UK can work with Germany and France as Britain prepares to leave

:30:40. > :30:42.the EU. Mrs May is expected to discuss counter-terrorism

:34:40. > :34:52.France will fall silent in memory of the aid for people killed in Nice. I

:34:53. > :35:04.spoke to 2-mac about the attack. We are still in shock, we are still in

:35:05. > :35:11.a time of grief because many of us have friends or relatives who have

:35:12. > :35:15.been affected by this. At the same time we have to be, as an

:35:16. > :35:20.organisation, professional and address the reality of the backlash

:35:21. > :35:26.following these terrorist attacks in terms of Islamophobic hate crimes,

:35:27. > :35:30.and threats against Muslim communities. That is where we are at

:35:31. > :35:41.the moment. We are learning a little more each day about the man who did

:35:42. > :35:46.this, Mohamed Bouhlel, originally from Tunisia. Can you give an

:35:47. > :35:49.insight into why some immigrants to France from north African

:35:50. > :35:58.communities are so disaffected? At this time at a political level there

:35:59. > :36:03.is an attempt to blame this case on migration, or his religion, it has

:36:04. > :36:15.something to do with his background or religion as much as it has to do

:36:16. > :36:20.with lorries. That being said, what you are referring to is that there

:36:21. > :36:24.is a disenfranchised youth in France, in our suburbs and ghettos,

:36:25. > :36:41.we have created social and economic places where people are banned,

:36:42. > :36:48.literally, the word banlieue in French means the place we ban

:36:49. > :36:51.people. But this does not excuse anything, although we do have

:36:52. > :36:57.structural problems in terms of exclusion and discrimination, this

:36:58. > :37:04.does not give a permit to fall into radicalisation or petty criminality,

:37:05. > :37:08.or violence. It will not be efficient in addressing terrorist

:37:09. > :37:13.threats and we don't also face structural problems we have in

:37:14. > :37:18.France and that is what you basically mention. What should

:37:19. > :37:22.politicians do, then? We have several levels of intervention.

:37:23. > :37:28.First in the short-term on the security front, we are monitoring,

:37:29. > :37:31.watching so many people and suspecting so many innocent families

:37:32. > :37:36.just because they are Muslims. And if you look at the European level,

:37:37. > :37:42.the risk indicators, we are not looking for probable terrorists, but

:37:43. > :37:46.probable Muslims, so just the fact that people are going to the mosque

:37:47. > :37:50.regularly and growing a beard and being involved in religious

:37:51. > :37:56.activities is in itself perceived as a terrorist act. So shifting from

:37:57. > :38:01.the political motion of terrorism into an objective vision of

:38:02. > :38:07.security, this is going to help us focus our intelligence services on a

:38:08. > :38:11.much smaller number of cases but with higher chances of finding real

:38:12. > :38:16.bad guys and not innocent families. That's not the one. Number two, we

:38:17. > :38:23.must be able to define what it is to be French, to be British, to be

:38:24. > :38:27.German, in inclusive terms. If we are dividing our societies into

:38:28. > :38:34.ghettos, or ethnicities, specific cultures and religions, we are

:38:35. > :38:39.falling exactly into the trap that Daesh once we us, in their

:38:40. > :38:43.literature, in their reviews, that is what they want, they say that

:38:44. > :38:47.basically we want to antagonise European society so that Muslim

:38:48. > :38:52.committees locally will be persecuted which will make life

:38:53. > :38:56.easier when we recruit them. So we need to be courageous politically

:38:57. > :39:00.enough to unite and bring people together, irrespective of their

:39:01. > :39:05.ethnic and cultural or religious belonging. And finally, we mentioned

:39:06. > :39:09.it, in the long term we need to address these structural problems.

:39:10. > :39:13.We need to understand that that is not a causal link between living in

:39:14. > :39:16.the ghetto and falling into violence but there is not a causal link

:39:17. > :39:18.between living in the ghetto and falling into violence but there's a

:39:19. > :39:22.sociological reality which creates the possibility of a terrorist

:39:23. > :39:26.recruitment, and the more deprived communities are left on their side,

:39:27. > :39:34.the easier it is for desperate people to go and seek support from

:39:35. > :39:40.them. Lets get more on the news that Theresa May is going to Berlin.

:39:41. > :39:44.Norman is at Westminster. We've learned that Theresa May will be

:39:45. > :39:47.having her first diplomatic encounter with Angela Merkel on

:39:48. > :39:55.Wednesday in Berlin. What a fascinating encounter! Two women, so

:39:56. > :40:00.evenly matched in their own ways, both very sober, serious, cautious,

:40:01. > :40:04.hard-working politicians, people that Kenneth Clarke would no doubt

:40:05. > :40:11.refer to as "A bloody difficult women". Fascinating meeting, it

:40:12. > :40:15.follows the meeting between Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon. All around

:40:16. > :40:19.we are seeing women in positions of power. The other thing that strikes

:40:20. > :40:23.me about it is that although David Davis is meant to be in charge of

:40:24. > :40:27.the Brexit negotiations it's pretty clear that Theresa May will be the

:40:28. > :40:32.one who at the end of the day runs the show when it comes to Brexit.

:40:33. > :40:35.Not only is she having the face-to-face talks with Angela

:40:36. > :40:40.Merkel, the next evening she is off to Paris to see Francois Hollande,

:40:41. > :40:45.she's put herself in charge of the Cabinet subcommittee on Brexit so

:40:46. > :40:50.that David Davis and Liam Fox will be sitting around the table, but who

:40:51. > :40:55.will be at the top of the table, she will! And she has placed one of the

:40:56. > :41:00.key backers next to breast Johnson in the Foreign Office. Sir Alan

:41:01. > :41:05.Duncan, an experienced old hand, she's made absolutely sure she's got

:41:06. > :41:09.her person alongside Boris Johnson. It tells us that Theresa May wants

:41:10. > :41:14.to make absolutely sure that she's got a grip of what is happening with

:41:15. > :41:21.Brexiteer. Very interesting. Tell us about this boat regarding Trident.

:41:22. > :41:28.But write this vote. It's our nuclear deterrent, submarines with

:41:29. > :41:31.missiles on board, Theresa May says they are essential to protecting the

:41:32. > :41:36.security of families in Britain. Not what quite a lot of Labour MPs

:41:37. > :41:40.think, although many do. That is true, although all the indications

:41:41. > :41:43.are that when MPs vote on this tonight it will be overwhelmingly

:41:44. > :41:50.passed. Pity much every government since Tony Blair has given approval

:41:51. > :41:54.for the Trident nuclear submarine fleet to go ahead. So the

:41:55. > :42:01.expectation is, this is what will happen overnight. There is a lot of

:42:02. > :42:05.politics around this. In part you think the vote is so that Mrs may

:42:06. > :42:11.has something she can rally her party around after the divisive

:42:12. > :42:13.Brexit. It's also going to cause Labour maximum grief because it is

:42:14. > :42:16.divided over this although today Michael Fallon insisted this was not

:42:17. > :42:23.the reason the government was doing it. Navin Taylor with postponed this

:42:24. > :42:29.vote for several months because of the election. I know MPs from all

:42:30. > :42:32.sides of the house who have supported a nuclear deterrent and I

:42:33. > :42:36.will vote was poured it tonight so we don't see this as a party

:42:37. > :42:42.political issue. I hope we get the largest possible majority from

:42:43. > :42:46.Parliament. But the divisions in the Labour ranks are extraordinary.

:42:47. > :42:51.Jeremy Corbyn Woolford against the renewal of Trident in defiance of

:42:52. > :42:55.his party policy which is to support it, his Shadow Defence Secretary and

:42:56. > :43:01.Shadow Foreign Secretary say we're going to abstain because it's a

:43:02. > :43:03.political gimmick, and we've got the leadership contenders Owen Smith and

:43:04. > :43:09.Angela Eagle saying they will back it. The expectation is that half the

:43:10. > :43:11.Labour Party will back it. So Labour is involved in a 3-way split on this

:43:12. > :43:15.issue. Thank you, Norman, cheers. Let's speak to three Labour

:43:16. > :43:17.voters who support each Kismet Meyon's preferred

:43:18. > :43:20.candidate is the current Jack Scotcher is interested

:43:21. > :43:29.in what Owen Smith offers, and Anne-Marie Swift is a life-long

:43:30. > :43:37.Labour voter in Salford. And she prefers Angela Eagle. None

:43:38. > :43:42.of them are party members, at the moment, so none of them could vote

:43:43. > :43:46.in this Labour leadership content. -- contest. Let's hear why they

:43:47. > :43:50.prefer the people and they do prefer. Kismet, why are you in

:43:51. > :43:55.favour of Jeremy Corbyn even though you don't agree with everything he

:43:56. > :43:59.does? As a politician he doesn't come across as the norm. He is the

:44:00. > :44:04.voice of the people, he is more relatable. The way the media have

:44:05. > :44:08.covered him, the way he dresses and stuff, think it's very unfair,

:44:09. > :44:11.because of the end of the day it is not like he's wearing jeans to

:44:12. > :44:15.Parliament, he's still wearing a blazer and a shirt which is quite

:44:16. > :44:22.smart. He doesn't look like your average politician but what he has

:44:23. > :44:26.done, not even a year, he's been leader, is a lot. And a massive

:44:27. > :44:34.turnout rate. 600,000 registered voters now. He's done quite a lot of

:44:35. > :44:38.Labour. He has been there for 33 years. What has he done becoming

:44:39. > :44:47.leader? Since being leader everything he's done is first, be a

:44:48. > :44:50.voice, he has taken public questions into Parliament which I think is a

:44:51. > :44:54.really big thing because he's genuinely being voiced the us,

:44:55. > :45:04.forcing our questions, not rewarding them. -- keys being a force for us.

:45:05. > :45:09.Let me speak to Anne-Marie. The voice of the people although not

:45:10. > :45:14.feel? No, I want a strong opposition to the Tory government. Someone who

:45:15. > :45:21.can lead the party to a potential win in the next election. I cannot

:45:22. > :45:25.see Jeremy Corbyn being that person. Why is Angela Eagle that person as

:45:26. > :45:29.far as you are concerned? She's got a proven track record in the House

:45:30. > :45:33.of Commons, held her own against people like the Chancellor which it

:45:34. > :45:38.was Business Secretary, she's been a lifelong MP. She is a good northern

:45:39. > :45:43.woman. And it is time we had a woman leader of the Labour Party.

:45:44. > :45:51.Jack? I mean who could possibly disagree with that? But I would say

:45:52. > :46:06.this is not a case of going from one extreme to the other which I think

:46:07. > :46:10.we could see with the sorry, with Angela Eagle becoming leader of the

:46:11. > :46:15.Labour Party. That's too much of a short from Corbyn to someone who is

:46:16. > :46:21.essentially Blairite and I think Corbyn has come about because of

:46:22. > :46:28.that steadfast commitment to social justice and that movement. But I

:46:29. > :46:34.don't think we see a commitment to the Parliamentary Labour Party from

:46:35. > :46:41.Corbyn and I think that compromise lies in the vote for Owen Smith who

:46:42. > :46:45.I believe is a, yeah, is a good compromise between the two. Could he

:46:46. > :46:50.win an election against Theresa May in the country? Well, I think, the

:46:51. > :46:58.Corbyn leadership, he hasn't gained... No, Owen Smith, could Owen

:46:59. > :47:02.Smith? Yes, so he would get the support back from Old Labour voters

:47:03. > :47:06.who have gone to the Conservatives and Ukip, and I think that's where

:47:07. > :47:11.the strategy is required that's lacking in the Corbyn leadership.

:47:12. > :47:15.OK. So I said at the beginning, you're voters, you are not members,

:47:16. > :47:23.are you going to pay the ?25 to vote in the Labour leadership? So I'm

:47:24. > :47:28.socially housed by the YMCA, I'm working two jobs and I'm making it

:47:29. > :47:33.difficult to make ends meet and ?25 is too much for me, that's a week's

:47:34. > :47:40.food shop. It is a tricky situation. What about you? I think... Are you

:47:41. > :47:44.going to pay the 25 quid to vote? I haven't ever considered becoming a

:47:45. > :47:49.member before so I think we're all, I think we all feel the same. We

:47:50. > :47:52.will share the same view on that, I don't feel ready to do that

:47:53. > :47:57.straightaway. OK, what about you Ann-Marie? I have got a real issue

:47:58. > :48:01.with the ?25 thing. It just feels like if you can afford to pay to

:48:02. > :48:06.become a member of the Labour Party it gives you the right to vote. Even

:48:07. > :48:12.though I'm supporting Angela Eagle, I'm opposed to that. Right. OK.

:48:13. > :48:17.That's really interesting. A number of people have said it is just too

:48:18. > :48:22.much for people to pay that amount... Especially going from ?3

:48:23. > :48:26.to ?25, that's a huge jump and it is quite unfair for the working class

:48:27. > :48:29.because it is a large amount of money, you know. It is a large

:48:30. > :48:35.amount of money for anybody, it is not just the working class actually.

:48:36. > :48:42.No, in general, I mean, obviously to come people, it is less and more. I

:48:43. > :48:47.think the issue is why ?25 now at this crucial time that members

:48:48. > :48:51.supposedly have a say in who the leader of the Labour Party... That's

:48:52. > :48:58.a good question. I think it is because there has been

:48:59. > :49:04.a surge in support for the Labour Party from those who have not

:49:05. > :49:09.necessarily been committed to the Parliamentary Labour Party

:49:10. > :49:14.throughout. Right? And I think it is a strategic decision made by the NEC

:49:15. > :49:21.to make sure that although we have seen a lot of support for Corbyn

:49:22. > :49:25.that doesn't necessarily reflect the overall views of the country. Ann

:49:26. > :49:29.May radio is it right there is a leadership contest in the Labour

:49:30. > :49:36.Party at all at this period of time? Right now? Unfortunately I think it

:49:37. > :49:39.is. It is right. Do you? I can't see Jeremy Corbyn being able to put

:49:40. > :49:42.together a viable opposition and a party that can really contest a

:49:43. > :49:46.general election should Theresa May decide to have a general election

:49:47. > :49:50.sooner rather than later which I suspect she might given that she is

:49:51. > :49:54.very cleverly positioned herself in the centre now. She is saying the

:49:55. > :49:58.things that the majority of the electorate want to hear and it

:49:59. > :50:02.bothers me that we don't have anybody standing up and positioning

:50:03. > :50:08.themselves as a real true opposition to her right now. I mean, Mr Corbyn

:50:09. > :50:14.does have the support of hundreds of thousands of people who voted for

:50:15. > :50:17.him just nine months ago. We hear anecdotally from MPs that some of

:50:18. > :50:22.those members have apparently changed their mind about Mr Corbyn,

:50:23. > :50:26.nevertheless, he won an overwhelming mandate nine months ago. But there

:50:27. > :50:32.are nine million voters out there who are not members of the Labour

:50:33. > :50:36.Party like myself and I think our voices need to be heard as well and

:50:37. > :50:40.that's the whole question about the ?25 to become a member of the Labour

:50:41. > :50:43.Party. It is somehow wrong and it is disrepresentative. OK, thank you

:50:44. > :50:49.very much. A bitter war of words between three

:50:50. > :50:52.of the world's biggest celebrities. Taylor Swift is accusing Kanye West

:50:53. > :50:55.and his wife Kim Kardashian of "character assassination"

:50:56. > :51:05.in a row over one of Kanye's songs. We can't play you a lot

:51:06. > :51:07.of his song "Famous" - the video and lyrics are too

:51:08. > :51:10.explicit for this I should warn you now that we will

:51:11. > :51:16.be talking about words you may find offensive, but here's a little

:51:17. > :51:25.of what we can show. # Man I can understand how it can be

:51:26. > :51:31.hard to love a girl like me. # I don't blame you much for wanting

:51:32. > :51:38.to be free. # I just wanted you to know if...

:51:39. > :51:41.... #

:51:42. > :51:43.In the video Kanye calls Taylor a "bitch."

:51:44. > :51:47.Last night Kim posted videos apparently showing that Kanye called

:51:48. > :51:53.In a moment, we'll talk to our arts and music guru Jimmy Blake,

:51:54. > :51:56.but first let's have a listen to a recording of that

:51:57. > :52:32.So it's a complicated story and Jimmy Blake

:52:33. > :52:50.Where do we start? This is a feud that's been going on for a while. In

:52:51. > :52:54.twine, Kanye West said I'm going to let you finish, but Beyonce had a

:52:55. > :52:58.better video. Since then the two had a bit of beef as it were. So this

:52:59. > :53:03.song he has kind of related to that and said that I made her famous, and

:53:04. > :53:12.that we might still have sex in a weird kind of quay. Way. He said I

:53:13. > :53:18.made her famous. Has Taylor Swift released a statement? I can't

:53:19. > :53:23.believe I'm asking that question! Of course, she has! In this case, she

:53:24. > :53:26.has replied. She has said, you know, I have seen the video,tive heard the

:53:27. > :53:30.phone call and she acknowledged that that phone call happened, but the

:53:31. > :53:35.thing that she really has an issue with is the fact that he claims that

:53:36. > :53:39.he made her famous. She says that she approved the kind of, you know,

:53:40. > :53:43.we might still have sex, she understands it is not something

:53:44. > :53:47.that's very nice, but she does see where he is coming from and in that

:53:48. > :53:52.phone call, she says thanks for calling me, but the bit she has a

:53:53. > :53:56.problem with is when he says I made you famous and that's the problem,

:53:57. > :54:00.the thing she had a problem with. At the Grammys when she won album of

:54:01. > :54:03.the year, she made a speech saying to young girls out there, you're

:54:04. > :54:07.always going to get someone who tries to cut down your success and

:54:08. > :54:12.cuts down your ambition and that was seen as a reference to Famous which

:54:13. > :54:15.had been played at that point. And so in response West slash Kim

:54:16. > :54:21.Kardashian, what are they saying now? Back again. There hasn't been

:54:22. > :54:28.another one yet. There hasn't been a second sort of piece from them. At

:54:29. > :54:32.the moment, all there is this piece on Kim Kardashian's Snapchat of the

:54:33. > :54:38.full conversation, but Taylor does go full in-depth in her response in

:54:39. > :54:43.saying it is character assassination that she wasn't given the full song

:54:44. > :54:48.before it was released and she never gave full approval. Yes, she had a

:54:49. > :54:54.phone call from Kanye, but was never played the full song. Right, OK. In

:54:55. > :54:59.terms of Taylor Swift fans, what are they saying? I mean, whenever this

:55:00. > :55:05.kind of thing happens, Taylor Swift fans are supportive of her. Last

:55:06. > :55:13.week cal vil Harris had a go at her on Twitter and said, "You're trying

:55:14. > :55:19.to throw me under the bus." She claimed she had written one of the

:55:20. > :55:24.songs on his new album. He said, "You're trying to throw me under the

:55:25. > :55:29.bus." Her fans got behind her and supported her and saying this is

:55:30. > :55:32.Kanye trying to do one over on Taylor, Calvin tried do it again.

:55:33. > :55:37.They have rallied behind her and given her support. In terms of the

:55:38. > :55:44.lyrics, how much criticism has Kanye West had? The whole album has kind

:55:45. > :55:47.of within Kanye West fans it has gone down well and been well

:55:48. > :55:52.received, but it is not seen as his best body of work. The lyrics on

:55:53. > :55:58.that particular song have kind of always ever since he played it out,

:55:59. > :56:01.he did a sort of listening party at Madison Square Garden and people

:56:02. > :56:05.have acknowledged it and said it is not necessarily on there, is it? But

:56:06. > :56:10.with this phone call, he does kind of try and say, you know, I have

:56:11. > :56:14.acknowledged it. I've given you a warning that this is coming out, but

:56:15. > :56:17.like I say, the thing she has issue with is the fact that he is claiming

:56:18. > :56:21.that she is famous because of something Kanye West did. Thank you

:56:22. > :56:28.very much, Jimmy. You're welcome. Thank you.

:56:29. > :56:33.Let's show you the scene in Nice where people are gathering ahead of

:56:34. > :56:37.the minute's silence that's due to be held at 11am, just in two or

:57:55. > :57:57."The ?25 is an insult to the principles of the Labour Party

:57:58. > :58:04.designed to exclude the working class. It is shameful." A tweet from

:58:05. > :58:09.Lisa, "?25 is for supporter status, not even membership, but it is

:58:10. > :58:13.exsetionive and will alienate many people from taking part." The Labour

:58:14. > :58:19.Party by charging ?25 is depriving those who should vote Labour Party

:58:20. > :58:24.Labour and those who support for a laugh and are rich enough." "William

:58:29. > :58:33.says, "Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are leading my party to
