Good morning. I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the | :00:09. | :00:18. | |
programme. Should Britain spent billions of pounds replacing four | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
submarines that carry Trident missiles? Theresa May says it would | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
be grossly irresponsible not to but Labour MPs are divided over the | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
issue. We'll have all the details. One minute's silence will be held | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
across France in memory of the 84 people killed in Nice. We will have | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
a report on those most affected. They say you can grieve for three | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
days, the first two days are very important to be around with your | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
families. It is still shocked, still terrible and we asked a very sad but | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
eventually we will be OK. And I will be live in Nice with the latest on | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
those attacks that killed over 80 people. Also, can be Rio Olympics | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
and Paralympics, less than three weeks away, match the success of | :01:11. | :01:14. | |
London 2012? We'll be looking ahead to the games are the group of | :01:15. | :01:16. | |
Olympians. How did winning gold Welcome to the programme, | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
we're live until 11 this morning. Also on the programme today, | :01:19. | :01:40. | |
we'll speak to people living in Turkey, where a staggering 6 | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
thousand people have now been arrested following | :01:43. | :01:45. | |
Friday's takeover attempt. Plus the latest from Baton Rouge | :01:46. | :01:46. | |
where three police officers have been shot dead - | :01:47. | :01:48. | |
the latest casualties of America's Do get in touch on all the stories | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
we're talking about this morning - use the hashtag Victoria Live | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
and If you text, you will be charged The top story today. MPs vote on | :01:56. | :02:06. | |
whether to renew the Trident nuclear weapons programme. Theresa May will | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
tell them it would be grossly irresponsible not to do so. The | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
issue divides the Labour Party with leader Jeremy Corbyn promising to | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
vote against but leadership contenders Angela Eagle and Owen | :02:19. | :02:21. | |
Smith backing renewal. Chris Mason has more. | :02:22. | :02:33. | |
Expensive, controversial, but the Prime Minister will argue | :02:34. | :02:35. | |
Theresa May wants the four submarines that carry nuclear | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
?31 billion over 20 years is the government's guess. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
The subs are based at Faslane on the Clyde, the Scottish | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
Having exited Europe there are a lot of uncertainties in the world, | :02:46. | :02:58. | |
I think the British people would expect us to retain security | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
in the way they've understood for half a century. | :03:02. | :03:03. | |
Now is not the time to gamble with our defence interests. | :03:04. | :03:12. | |
But his boss, Jeremy Corbyn, and others in the party disagree. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
I think that in the coming months and years I think we will eventually | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
win the argument and I think we will eventually win the vote | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
in parliament, both in terms of moral consequences of nuclear war | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
but also the fact that also the system we're going | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
for isn't particularly effective and in addition | :03:27. | :03:27. | |
Government sources admit tonight's vote is not technically necessary | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
but they say it is important that Parliament has a say. | :03:32. | :03:35. | |
Ministers are highly likely to get their way and secure backing | :03:36. | :03:38. | |
Lets talk to Norman Smith in Westminster. Hi, Norman, how will | :03:39. | :03:54. | |
the vote go? Almost certain to be a huge majority to press ahead with | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Trident. The funny thing is, we don't actually have to have a vote, | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
because Parliament has already agreed we will spend the cash, we | :04:03. | :04:05. | |
are pressing ahead with building these submarines. Although there is | :04:06. | :04:10. | |
a kind of fear that we haven't had a formal vote on it since 2007 and it | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
is bluntly, all about politics. Theresa May wants to send out a | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
message of the new Prime Minister getting on with the job, doing the | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
heavy lifting of government and she wants to have a vote on something | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
that the Tories can agree on after the divisions of the Brexit vote and | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
she wants to cause Labour maximum grief because she knows of the | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
profound and huge tensions within the ranks over the issues because | :04:35. | :04:41. | |
they face a 3-way split with Jeremy Corbyn piffling renewal, some of the | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
Shadow Cabinet abstaining and some in favour, although Michael Fallon | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
insisted today that it was not about politics. We have postponed this | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
vote for several months because of the referendum and the elections | :04:56. | :04:58. | |
before it. There will be a large and above of MPs, MPs from all sides of | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
the House or not always supported a nuclear deterrent and will support | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
it tonight. We don't see this as a party issue. I hope we will get the | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
largest majority from Parliament. Awkward for Labour because the | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
official party policy from the last election is to support the renewal | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
of Trident, we know there is a review going on and we know that Mr | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
Corbyn would dearly like the party to oppose nuclear weapons although | :05:29. | :05:31. | |
no sign of a fixed policy imaging any time soon. Today the Shadow | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry had to resort to saying that this | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
was all game playing by the Tories. Theresa May talks about it being | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
reckless for us not to vote today. I think it is reckless to plough on | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
ahead with the most expensive of all the options and there are step | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
dancer can take. I think it's about heart of the Labour philosophy that | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
we support multilateralism. There's a tradition that goes back to Harold | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
Wilson and Margaret Beckett and this government is making no effort on | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
the multilateral front at all. One thing that matters is that the SNP | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
is opposed to the renewal of Trident, it reflects the growing | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
divide between Scotland and the rest of the UK and it also matters | :06:20. | :06:23. | |
because the Trident fleet is based in Scotland, where the SNP say that | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
if they were independent they would ask | :06:29. | :06:29. | |
With the rest of today's News, Joanna Gosling in the newsroom. Good | :06:30. | :06:43. | |
morning. President Obama has urged Americans to stay calm after the | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
fatal shooting of three policemen in Louisiana. Three other officers were | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
wounded, one critically, in the attack by a gunman at a petrol | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
station in Baton Rouge. The gunman was shot dead at the scene. One | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
minute's silence will be held across France at 11am today in memory of | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
the 84 people killed in the lorry attack in Nice on Thursday. Former | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
French President Nicolas Sarkozy has accused the country's government of | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
failing to do enough to protect the country. 12,000 police observers | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
have been called up to boost security in the wake of the | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
killings. EU foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today are | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
expected to call upon the Turkish president resident bird organ to | :07:27. | :07:28. | |
respect the rule of law and human rights. As he deals with those who | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
organised the failed coup against an -- president the dog. Utter | :07:33. | :07:35. | |
president bird gun. Over the weekend coming acted | :07:36. | :07:43. | |
swiftly against those he accuses of being part of, or backing the plot. | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
The present be are under arrest including top military aides and | :07:48. | :07:52. | |
thousands of members of the judiciary -- 6000 people are under | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
arrest. Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson is at the meeting of Foreign | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Minister is and has added his voice to those calling for restraint. He | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
is having talks on UK plans to leave the EU and said progress was already | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
being made. Really do message I will be taking to our friends is that we | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
will be taking steps to leave the European Union but that does not | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
mean that we will be leaving Europe, we will not abandon our leading role | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
in European participation and co-operation of all kinds. I had a | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
good conversation to that effect last night with the high | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
representative and she agreed very much that there was a role that | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
Britain should continue to play. People aged under 35 are set to | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
become the first generation to earn less than their predecessors | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
suggests research. The Resolution Foundation found that the generation | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
who reached adulthood in the year 2000 and ?8,000 less in their 20s | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
than the previous generation X. If their pay rises at the same rate as | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
those who went before them the average career earnings of the | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
course of their working lives will be less than their predecessors. | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
Taylor Woodrow's high-profile social media spat with canny arrest and Kim | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
Kardashian continues. She is accusing the couple of character | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
assassination -- tailor Swift. It began when she complained about a | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
lyric about her in the song Famous, that was followed by Kim Kardashian | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
posting a series of videos appearing to show her husband talking to the | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
singer about the track, claiming that the footage proved that Taylor | :09:29. | :09:34. | |
Swift had approved the controversial words. She stands by her | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
allegations. She had not approved them because she had not been told | :09:39. | :09:42. | |
what was in the lyrics! More about that later. | :09:43. | :09:55. | |
In a moment we will be in Nice talking to some of the families | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
affected by the attack on Friday. We will have a report from our | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
correspondent who has spent the last three days there. This, the sport | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
with Jessica, and incredible and to The Open at Royal Troon, for those | :10:15. | :10:18. | |
who do not follow the golf, why was it so stunning? It was incredible. | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
Henrik Stenson, the world under six, there is so much talk about the top | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
three in the world going into this and yet Henrik Stenson dominated it. | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
What a we to claim his first major. He broke records on his way to | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
clinching The Open and why would the crowds with an exciting final round | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
battle with Phil Mickelson. Henrik Stenson carded an eight under par 63 | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
final round, and joint record, too good for Phil Mickelson to win by | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
three shots. Henrik Stenson played the golf of his life. Just look at | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
this putt. His score of 20 under par is a record for The Open, beating | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
the score by Tiger Woods in 2000, so he's in good company. He lifts the | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
claret jug for the first time in 12 attempts. I felt I had not much to | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
lose, I have been second, been third, only one thing matters, | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
winning. I knew I had to play as good as I can, more or less, to come | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
out on top. I'm very happy that I did that. Serve extends and becomes | :11:26. | :11:32. | |
the first Scandinavian man to win a major. Tyrrell Hatton and Rory | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
McIlroy were the highest placed British finishers, 16 shots behind. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
Somehow influence in the success of an extensive, his caddie comes from | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
Coventry! The whole weekend, we had the best seat in the house. You are | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
trying to help your boys as best you can but it was fantastic, to be | :11:53. | :11:57. | |
around those two, they are great competitors, great to play with, and | :11:58. | :12:06. | |
it was nice to beat them, if I'm honest! England cricket captain | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
Alastair Cook blames naive batting for their loss to Pakistan in the | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
first test. England were chasing runs on the fourth day that stomach | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
the Pakistan bowlers were in great form. That final wicket was taken by | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
Mohammad Amir who has just returned to cricket after a spot fixing ban. | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
Pakistan won by 75 runs and still have the energy to celebrate in | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
style! We had a side capable of beating Pakistan if we played to our | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
potential. We left a few things out there which are frustrating, Trevor | :12:38. | :12:43. | |
and I are discussing it, and players will be disappointed because they | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
know they are better than that. The beauty of a four Test series is that | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
you've got a chance to turn it around. Great Britain minus Andy | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
Murray are into the semifinals of the Davis Cup after beating Serbia. | :12:56. | :12:58. | |
Kyle Edmund won his match in straight sets to give Great Britain | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
and unassailable 3-1 lead. Britain now play Argentina at home in | :13:05. | :13:07. | |
September. Andy Murray, fresh from his Wimbledon rogues, was watching | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
in Belgrade. Chris Froome has kept his lead in the Tour de France after | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
coming through one of the hardest mountain stages. On the 15th stage, | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
he saw off the threat of his nearest challengers to maintain his hold on | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
the yellow jersey. He is leading by one minute and 47 seconds as he goes | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
for his third Tour de France victory. If he does win the tour | :13:31. | :13:38. | |
he'll be the first British cyclist to win 3Com incredible. My headlines | :13:39. | :13:40. | |
at 930. In just under two hours, | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
people across France will fall silent to remember the 84 people | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
brutally killed in the The tragedy has inevitably prompted | :13:46. | :13:48. | |
a political response, with people being urged to join | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
the army reserve force, and demands for foreign nationals with links | :13:54. | :13:55. | |
to radical Islam to be But for many in Nice itself, | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
the fallout from the attack remains intensely personal, | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
with funerals taking place, and 18 people, including a child, | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
still in a critical condition. James, tell us what it has been like | :14:08. | :14:23. | |
over the last few days? As you can imagine, it has been very, very | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
subdued. This is Midsummer, they should be tourists everywhere, | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
enjoying the weather. We were out last night and there were very few | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
people on the streets. There's still a very large presence here. People | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
are trying to get back to normal, trying to go out and do things they | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
would normally do. If you go to Promenade Des Anglais, where the | :14:47. | :14:51. | |
attack place, runners were out today, people walking their dogs, | :14:52. | :14:53. | |
although they are reminded of what happened by the memorials that still | :14:54. | :15:00. | |
litter the main strip. Small piles of flowers and candles, it is very | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
much in people's consciousness. People still in hospital and only 35 | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
of the dead identified. So many families are still waiting for | :15:11. | :15:13. | |
answers and there is still a lot of suffering. | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
they been saying to you? Shock and sadness and something that really | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
strikes me and we spoke when I was in Paris in November during the | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
attacks there, this has really been an attack on families. So many | :15:32. | :15:35. | |
families have been hit by this. So many children and I spent the last | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
couple of days speaking to some of the people who have been affected | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
and seeing how they plan to get on with the rest of their lives. | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
Now memorials to the dead lie on its most famous road. | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
Private tributes to their very public deaths. | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
But for one community, prayer and song help. | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
At the Victor Christian Centre, almost everyone has been affected. | :16:07. | :16:17. | |
She'd been at the celebrations with her family when the truck came. | :16:18. | :16:25. | |
Seeing it approach, her husband Thiago had to make | :16:26. | :16:28. | |
He grabbed his wife and child and jumped off the seafront | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
Two-year-old Jonathan's playful smile is a hopeful sign he may not | :16:35. | :16:43. | |
be aware of the carnage he escaped or the injuries he suffered. | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
Ca va, Jonathan? | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
His parents have made the whole experience a game, | :16:57. | :17:05. | |
Apres on a tous saute comme ca. | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
He didn't see anything because when I jumped, | :17:11. | :17:18. | |
I had him against my body and his head was against my body. | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
The rocks on the edge, after, they are like | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
I was afraid if I hit my head I probably could be dead | :17:29. | :17:38. | |
Yolande's torment was more public than most. | :17:39. | :17:54. | |
When her friend lost her baby on the seafront, she put out | :17:55. | :17:57. | |
an appeal on Facebook and thousands shared it. | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
I had one mission - find the baby. | :18:03. | :18:04. | |
And describe to me when you knew he was safe. | :18:05. | :18:10. | |
I was so relieved I was crying with joy. | :18:11. | :18:20. | |
Rebecca Boulanger is the church pastor who helped share the post. | :18:21. | :18:28. | |
We really believe that together we are stronger but we can be | :18:29. | :18:31. | |
together in the good times, like we celebrated her sister's | :18:32. | :18:33. | |
baptism a couple of weeks ago, which is when we met the baby | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
and the family obviously, but we also really need to be | :18:38. | :18:39. | |
It's easy to be around people when everything is fun and it's | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
a party, but it's when it gets hard, that's when you see who your friends | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
are, and who will stand with you and pray with you and believe | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
and even go out onto the field like she did to look for the baby. | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
It may not look like much but this little church hidden away | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
in the centre of Nice is doing what it can | :18:59. | :19:00. | |
So many people in their congregation were affected in last week's | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
attacks, and it's a community in need of healing. | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
In the hills overlooking Nice, another family is grieving. | :19:11. | :19:19. | |
Fatima Charrihi was a mother of seven, out enjoying the summer | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
A devout Muslim, she was one of the first to die. | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
Her sister is joined in prayerful song. | :19:34. | :19:43. | |
Friends, neighbours, cousins, all come to pay their respects. | :19:44. | :19:49. | |
Ahmed's pain at his wife's loss is clear. | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
He was with her minutes before she died. | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
"I feel all the hate in the world," he tells me. | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
"And now we have to bury her and I have to deal with all that. | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
It's important that I have my family around me. | :20:10. | :20:13. | |
I have to end my days with them now." | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
Surrounded by relatives, but missing the woman he loved. | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
He tried in vain to revive his mother. | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
"And my father in the distance, crouched over my mother. | :20:29. | :20:39. | |
I ran towards them and I saw a woman performing CPR. | :20:40. | :20:44. | |
Amina is Fatima's niece, in from Amsterdam to | :20:45. | :20:56. | |
We are Muslims and our religion says you can grieve for three days. | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
The first two days are very important to be around your family | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
It's terrible and we are still very, very sad, but eventually | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
Faith, it looms large once more in the debate that has | :21:14. | :21:27. | |
But for some of its survivors, the comfort it provides is crucial. | :21:28. | :21:39. | |
Well, as I said in that report, the spotlight has once again been thrown | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
on the role of Islam in France. We should make clear that Mohamed | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
Bouhlel had no actual links to Isis that have been found by the | :21:51. | :21:53. | |
authorities. They have made that clear, although Isis has claimed | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
responsibility, but nevertheless, it does raise questions about the role | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
of Islam in France and to that end we're joined by two guests this | :22:02. | :22:09. | |
morning. First, you run a mosque, a newly opened mosque in Nice and a | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
student from Morocco who is here visiting, we will speaking to you in | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
a minute. First of all, imam and for our viewers at home, the imam | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
doesn't speak English. I will be speaking to him in French and I will | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
let you know what he says. I've asked him what the Muslim | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
community is telling him at the moment about how they're feeling? | :22:35. | :22:48. | |
The Muslim community is really, really, really hurt by what happened | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
by this act committed by this monster. | :22:56. | :23:11. | |
SPEAKS IN FRENCH He says that the killer didn't choose any of his | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
victims particularly and actually one of the first to be hit by the | :23:15. | :23:19. | |
truck as I said in my report, was a Muslim woman. | :23:20. | :23:22. | |
SPEAKS IN FRENCH He said at least 20 Muslims were | :23:23. | :23:42. | |
killed in the attacks and her son, who was there on the night, who we | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
spoke to, is an active member of the community. | :23:47. | :23:58. | |
SPEAKS IN FRENCH So we shouldn't make comparisons between this | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
horrific act and the foundation of Islam. | :24:04. | :24:18. | |
SPEAKS IN FRENCH The story of Islam is one of love, it doesn't matter | :24:19. | :24:23. | |
about one's religion, a believer or unbeliever. This is abblutly nothing | :24:24. | :24:29. | |
to do with Islam. -- absolutely nothing to do with | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
Islam. SPEAKS | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
IN FRENCH I'm asking him what he believes that should be done to | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
better integrate Muslims because even if it wasn't Mohamed Bouhlel, | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
there are serious issues over integration of Muslims in this city. | :24:45. | :24:47. | |
SPEAKS IN FRENCH He says you shouldn't generalise. | :24:48. | :25:13. | |
Islam is a real part of French society and these acts are singular | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
and it is really important to make sure that people come together | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
during times like these and don't draw distinctions. I'd like to move | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
on to my next guest. Thank you for joining us. You are a student | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
visiting from Morocco and you were there on the night. Can you tell us | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
what happened? Well, in the very beginning I was with my friend at | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
his apartment. We heard the fireworks so we went to check them | :25:37. | :25:43. | |
out. We saw the show. When it ended, we started taking pictures and | :25:44. | :25:54. | |
videos and the promenade was super crowded, there was lots of kids, | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
children and old people. We were taking pictures and videos until we | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
hear the people screaming in the back and we looked and we saw them | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
running and pushing each other. It was very difficult to run because it | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
was super crowded. So I was shocked at what I saw because I saw the | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
truck hitting people in the front of me. I didn't understand at the | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
beginning. I was really shocked and I froze in my place for around five | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
seconds until I realised I had to run. So I ran towards the beach and | :26:28. | :26:35. | |
I got separated from my friend. What were you feeling in that moment that | :26:36. | :26:44. | |
you got separated? Well, to be honest I was really, really scared. | :26:45. | :26:47. | |
I didn't know what was going to happen to my friend or to me. I went | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
running to the beach side and there was a bench blocking me from running | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
so I had to jump over it. I fell on a lady there. You fell on a lady who | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
was already behind the bench? Yes, she was trying to run too. She was | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
on the floor. The truck was really close to me. So moments after | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
jumping around three seconds, I just closed my eyes and then I heard the | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
bench getting smashed and the lights and everything. So it just passed | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
right next to me. How are you feeling right now? I'm feeling | :27:26. | :27:29. | |
really lucky to survive. I'm really lucky. I thank God, I'm so grateful. | :27:30. | :27:36. | |
And you're on holiday. Yes. Is it going to stop you coming back? To be | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
honest no, I will come back, I love the city, but it is not safe | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
anywhere in the world now. Not safe anywhere in the world now. Thank you | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
for joining us. That's a sentiment I've heard time and time again this | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
weekend and you've heard from two individuals here who can speak | :27:54. | :27:57. | |
perhaps on behalf of themselves, but on behalf of the Muslim community. | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
This is an attack that has hit all kinds of people from all kinds of | :28:02. | :28:04. | |
backgrounds and all kinds of religions. | :28:05. | :28:09. | |
STUDIO: Thank you very much, James. James Long Man our reporter in Nice. | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
Still to come, two days after that attempted takeover | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
of the government in Turkey, tensions remain high. | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
We are discussing how the country got to this point? | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
With three weeks to go, we look ahead to the Rio Olympics | :28:23. | :28:27. | |
Can the Rio Games match the success of London 2012? | :28:28. | :28:39. | |

It's not a binding vote but is expected to highlight | :28:50. | :28:52. | |
Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters are against renewal but others | :28:53. | :28:59. | |

As he deals with those who organised the failed coup against him. | :29:53. | :29:54. | |
Over the weekend, Mr Erdogan acted swiftly against those | :29:55. | :29:57. | |
he accuses of being part of or backing the plot. | :29:58. | :30:03. | |

While in Brussels, he's also having talks on the Uk's | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
Mr Johnson said progress was already being made. | :30:21. | :30:33. | |
Clearly the message I will be taking to our friends is that we | :30:34. | :30:44. | |
have to do the will of the people and will be taking steps to leave | :30:45. | :30:48. | |
mean that we will be leaving Europe, we will not abandon our leading role | :30:49. | :30:52. | |
in European participation and co-operation of all kinds. | :30:53. | :30:54. | |

and 47 seconds as he goes for his third Tour de France victory. I will | :32:01. | :32:02. | |
see you at ten o'clock. Thank you. In just under three weeks the 2016 | :32:03. | :32:06. | |
Olympic Games will start in Rio. This year's Olympics and Paralympics | :32:07. | :32:09. | |
come at a time of security concerns, the Zika virus and the Russian | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
athletics doping scandal. We will find out this week | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
if Russian track and field athletes who have never failed a drugs test | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
will be allowed to compete. Today a report on allegations | :32:22. | :32:24. | |
of cheating by Russia in the Sochi Winter Games 2014 | :32:25. | :32:29. | |
Olympics will be published. UK Sport have set Team GB the target | :32:30. | :32:34. | |
of making Rio the most successful overseas Olympics | :32:35. | :32:38. | |
by winning 48 medals, So, four years on from | :32:39. | :32:41. | |
the London games - to take place in the middle | :32:42. | :32:50. | |
of the night for people watching from the UK - | :32:51. | :32:54. | |
how excited are you about We have seven Olympic and Paralympic | :32:55. | :32:56. | |
gold and silver medal winners here to tell us how it | :32:57. | :33:00. | |
changed their lives and tell us which athletes we should be watching | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
out for in these games. But first here's one of our spine | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
tingling films which will give you goosebumps looking back to those | :33:10. | :33:15. | |
heady days in London, # Don't tell the gods I left a mess, | :33:16. | :33:38. | |
I cannot do what's been and done, let's run for cover #. | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
More than seven years after London was | :33:42. | :33:43. | |
announced as the Olympic venue, the eyes of the world will once | :33:44. | :33:46. | |
Thousands of competitors are here to take part in | :33:47. | :33:50. | |
Millions of people around the globe are preparing to tune in to follow | :33:51. | :33:59. | |
In the next two weeks, we will show all what has | :34:00. | :34:05. | |
made London one of the greatest cities in the world. | :34:06. | :34:18. | |
For the athletes gathered here on the eve of | :34:19. | :34:23. | |
this great endeavour, I say that to you is | :34:24. | :34:25. | |
given something precious and | :34:26. | :34:26. | |
To run faster, to jump higher, to be stronger. | :34:27. | :35:02. | |
It's a golden triumph for Andy Murray. | :35:03. | :35:41. | |
There is a truth to sport, a | :35:42. | :35:43. | |
This is what I've dreamt of my entire | :35:44. | :35:58. | |
In every Olympic sport there is all that matters in life. | :35:59. | :36:14. | |
And one day we will tell our children and | :36:15. | :36:22. | |
our grandchildren that when our time came, we did it right. | :36:23. | :36:37. | |
We have some of Britain's greatest Olympic and Paralympic | :36:38. | :36:43. | |
Colin Jackson who won silver in the 110m hurdles in his first | :36:44. | :36:53. | |
won boxing gold in Sydney 16 years ago | :36:54. | :37:07. | |
MARK HUNTER and ZAC PURCHASE - together won rowing gold in Beijing | :37:08. | :37:09. | |
Tessa Sanderson-White who's competed at 6 Olympic Games | :37:10. | :37:20. | |
MICHAEL JAMIESON who won silver in the 200m breaststroke in London 2012 | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
and RICHARD WHITEHEAD - won gold in the T42 200m | :37:26. | :37:27. | |
Welcome, everyone, so nice to get this collection of people around the | :37:28. | :37:36. | |
table! I will start with a sombre note, if you don't mind. We know | :37:37. | :37:41. | |
that world events lately have been pretty horrific and pretty divisive. | :37:42. | :37:46. | |
And for international harmony the Olympics and Paralympics do unite | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
people in a way that perhaps not many other sporting events do. Is | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
that fair? Yeah, I would agree 100%. I think sport has that unique | :37:58. | :38:01. | |
ability to do that, to galvanise nations in a friendly manner. We | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
have all experienced, when we go to the Olympics and sit in restaurants | :38:06. | :38:10. | |
and your parents of athletes who will compete talk to each other, | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
although they are bitter rivals in the sporting arena but as soon as | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
you come together you have that general lovely feeling that sport | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
can truly bring. Tessa? Absolutely. I think the Olympic games is the | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
greatest sporting show on Earth, it really is. It brings together a | :38:28. | :38:31. | |
combination of people, you make new friends from it, win, lose, draw | :38:32. | :38:37. | |
come if you win, fantastic, you enjoy the euphoria, but you can | :38:38. | :38:46. | |
celebrate with the people who have not done so well. It's just a | :38:47. | :38:48. | |
sporting show that is unique. A unique window. It was the best | :38:49. | :38:51. | |
pathway I could ever have chosen, going through sport and going to an | :38:52. | :38:56. | |
Olympics. Richard, its unite people. -- it unites people. Yes, definitely | :38:57. | :39:03. | |
in 2012 we saw the effect that the Olympics and the Paralympics have | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
socially. It broke down barriers. At the time we are at the moment we | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
need people to come together and support each other, and for me that | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
is important and the power of sport definitely does that, things | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
together people from lots of social backgrounds, breaks down a lot of | :39:20. | :39:22. | |
barriers and it is a tough time at the moment. I think sport is unique. | :39:23. | :39:28. | |
It has that ability to bring people together, with the Olympics coming | :39:29. | :39:33. | |
and the world watching, it brings the opportunity for people to have a | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
bit of peace we put the differences aside, what is happening around the | :39:39. | :39:43. | |
world, it's such a big occasion, it will draw people from their | :39:44. | :39:47. | |
situation to unite the nation, you are going to follow your country, | :39:48. | :39:52. | |
follow the individuals, it's the perfect time. You saw from Euro 2016 | :39:53. | :39:57. | |
how people came together, they've had their atrocities yet all the | :39:58. | :40:01. | |
countries came together for the championships. Hopefully the | :40:02. | :40:04. | |
Olympics will do that worldwide. I will ask you all how winning your | :40:05. | :40:09. | |
medals have changed your lives. You have different stories. Before that | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
I want to talk about Russia, the fact that we have a report today | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
from the World Anti-Doping Agency which will shed more light on these | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
allegations of state-sponsored doping during the Sochi Winter | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
games. Should clean up Russian athletes be banned from competing in | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
the Olympics and Paralympics in Rio? I don't mind who starts. Mark? It's | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
a really difficult question, because you have athletes who are going to | :40:39. | :40:44. | |
be clean but then you have this kind of government funded programme where | :40:45. | :40:48. | |
athletes are being made to take these supplements. I think it's | :40:49. | :40:53. | |
quite harsh. We don't have that in the UK. We portray ourselves as | :40:54. | :40:58. | |
having clean sport. We had it in rowing with the Russian team, the | :40:59. | :41:02. | |
actual governing body got banned, the coaches were fired and they had | :41:03. | :41:05. | |
to bring in new coaches that were supposedly clean. But has apparently | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
been OK since 2006, that is just one sport. Other sports have that | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
problem is, we had that problem in 2006. You shook your head when he | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
said that they were supposedly clean. Look at the results, they | :41:20. | :41:26. | |
didn't have a single finalist since 2006. We'll have to see what | :41:27. | :41:29. | |
happens. The only way they will get back to the top is returned to their | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
old ways. Think the government of sport needs to work from the same | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
playing field. It needs to be clean. The athletes need to know that they | :41:39. | :41:42. | |
are going into the games knowing it is about how much training you have | :41:43. | :41:49. | |
done, and going out and performing. Imagine you are a Russian swim and | :41:50. | :41:54. | |
you are clean. Imagine if you were banned, a Russian swimmer. Imagine | :41:55. | :41:59. | |
if you are banned because it is a state-sponsored doping programme. | :42:00. | :42:03. | |
What would you think? You cannot deny it is a huge decision. I | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
certainly don't envy the person has to make that final call but there | :42:09. | :42:12. | |
has to be a line drawn at some stage. If you look at this latest | :42:13. | :42:16. | |
supplement we've seen in the news lately, Maria Sharapova, and Russian | :42:17. | :42:28. | |
females, an meldonium, there has been involvement in other Russian | :42:29. | :42:34. | |
sports. The most important thing we can do now is educate the public | :42:35. | :42:38. | |
because it's very unfortunate side to spot but we need to acknowledge | :42:39. | :42:42. | |
it is there because so long we've tried to sweep at the rug, and we | :42:43. | :42:48. | |
need to look at the positive results which I completely understand but | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
for me, now looking at, for example, athletes like Tyson gave failing the | :42:52. | :42:59. | |
test for testosterone which is undeniable it performing enhancing | :43:00. | :43:02. | |
drug, that's not the same as Alan Baxter, the British skier who failed | :43:03. | :43:08. | |
the taking code and influenza remedies. And the implication that | :43:09. | :43:11. | |
that failed test had, not only on his career accent on sport, is | :43:12. | :43:18. | |
sport, the funding that the UK generated from that sport. The | :43:19. | :43:22. | |
legacy from that failed test is still there. Colin, should the clean | :43:23. | :43:27. | |
athletes be banned, should the Russian athletes not be in Rio? If | :43:28. | :43:33. | |
you are an athlete going to the Olympics the very first thing you | :43:34. | :43:36. | |
want to feel is that you are representing your country. So if you | :43:37. | :43:39. | |
are going there and not representing your country, what's the reason for | :43:40. | :43:44. | |
going? If you win and the flag is raised what flag with a raise feel? | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
It's that emotion climbing onto the rostrum and seeing your achievements | :43:50. | :43:54. | |
recognised in the right manner which is representing your country. | :43:55. | :43:58. | |
Anything of that magnitude. I feel really sorry for the athletes who | :43:59. | :44:02. | |
have worked really hard for years and years and years to get into a | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
position, who are clean, to be able to go and compete, and suddenly you | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
pulled away from it. It seems like you are punished twice, because the | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
first thing is, you're punished for not going, and then you are punished | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
because you could achieve what you want because the drug cheats are in | :44:20. | :44:25. | |
front of you. So for the clean athletes, it's huge. I want a | :44:26. | :44:29. | |
definitive yes or No, should the clean ones be banned? Yes. Banned. | :44:30. | :44:36. | |
Because it is a state grant programme, it's on those like you | :44:37. | :44:39. | |
have to get rid of everyone because you don't know who this cheating so | :44:40. | :44:44. | |
everyone is guilty by association. It is terrible... You've got to draw | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
the line somewhere. Because the Russians have proved that are doing | :44:50. | :44:54. | |
now, the laboratory, it's more like a drug feed, giving them to the | :44:55. | :44:59. | |
athletes to make them better. If you are going to say to you and you will | :45:00. | :45:04. | |
be banned, but not you... The evidence is there. Me, I just think | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
there should be a total ban on everybody. Set that example, said | :45:09. | :45:14. | |
that standard, because you've got to do that, how else will you abolish | :45:15. | :45:16. | |
this? Rio The bad thing for these athletes | :45:17. | :45:26. | |
is these drugs are actually really bad for you, long-term. Yes, | :45:27. | :45:33. | |
absolutely. Long-term they are destroying their bodies taking this | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
to get this unfair advantage and I don't understand the logic of that. | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
I want to ask you about the Zika virus, Mark you're going out to | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
commentate, I think your wife may have raised an issue or two you | :45:49. | :45:52. | |
about you going there. Congratulations. So you've taken the | :45:53. | :45:59. | |
decision to go, the world's top four golfers said no, what do we think? | :46:00. | :46:07. | |
It is a question, should golf be there? If it is not the pinnacle of | :46:08. | :46:13. | |
your sport why would you introduce a new sport and one has said he | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
wouldn't be bothered watching it because it doesn't mean anything to | :46:18. | :46:20. | |
him. He could have kept his mouth shut? He was fed-up with the same | :46:21. | :46:25. | |
question. So it is convenient for them to use that as an excuse. I've | :46:26. | :46:31. | |
done loads of research myself because if you read things in the | :46:32. | :46:34. | |
paper or online you get so many different things come out and you | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
don't know what to believe and one of the stats I pulled out that I've | :46:38. | :46:42. | |
used to convince my wife, there is more chance of me walking down the | :46:43. | :46:46. | |
street being in a pedestrian accident with a car than me catching | :46:47. | :46:52. | |
Zika so I've done pretty well up to now. It is frightening because you | :46:53. | :46:56. | |
know, you don't know what to believe and you think about any Olympic | :46:57. | :46:58. | |
Games, there is always something that come out in the media that is | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
ramped up to the max to kind of put people off. The chance may not come | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
again. It is not that you won't, but if you don't take it right now | :47:08. | :47:11. | |
because we know what it is like, you trained for so many years and the | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
Games comes and it is there in front of you, a chance to get a medal and | :47:16. | :47:19. | |
do well and up your game and you say no. Tell me what you think about the | :47:20. | :47:28. | |
fact that golf shouldn't be in the Olympics, maybe Zika came along and | :47:29. | :47:35. | |
it is convenient for some golfers? It was introduced to help the | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
Olympics reach a greater audience. The IOC is a business and the | :47:41. | :47:46. | |
Olympic Games, the revenue associate with that is billions of dollars so | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
I can understand why they've done it. I don't agree with it. In terms | :47:50. | :47:55. | |
of the Zika virus I think unfortunately, I think, you know, | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
the golfers in particular have just, they haven't done themselves any | :47:59. | :48:01. | |
favours with the statements they've made in the media, but I think the | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
only kind of fear left surrounding the virus is they don't have as far | :48:07. | :48:15. | |
as I'm aware, a closer treatment or a vaccine to combat it. It time | :48:16. | :48:20. | |
Richard to put the Paralympics and the Olympics together as one huge | :48:21. | :48:23. | |
sporting event? Do you prefer it still being separate? I think when | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
you talk to the athletes and the people that have been involved in | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
the Olympic and Paralympic movement they all are definitely different in | :48:35. | :48:39. | |
respect to the values and I think it needs to be separate in the fact | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
that there is lots of events with the Paralympics and if you put those | :48:44. | :48:46. | |
with the Olympic programme it would be too big an event and also, the | :48:47. | :48:54. | |
public wouldn't be able to recognise what which event goes with which | :48:55. | :49:00. | |
because there are so many events in the Paralympic programme. I feel | :49:01. | :49:04. | |
show casing an event within the Olympic programme would be better to | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
highlighting the inclusion of sport. I enjoy the Paralympics, the same as | :49:10. | :49:15. | |
my fellow Olympians do, their event, and I just don't think it actually | :49:16. | :49:18. | |
fits together. What sand duning, Zac? I agree. It is an amazing | :49:19. | :49:25. | |
celebration of Paralympic sport to keep it as its own environment gives | :49:26. | :49:30. | |
it more focus and more awareness around the world. Keep it separate | :49:31. | :49:33. | |
and really enjoy the celebration there. I want to ask all of you | :49:34. | :49:39. | |
about how winning the medals that you have won has changed your life, | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
if it has changed your life. Tessa, out of everybody here, I think you | :49:46. | :49:56. | |
won the first medal, LA, in 1984... LAUGHTER | :49:57. | :49:59. | |
Stop it, you weren't even born, I'm 60! | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
You look 20 years younger. That's true, Tessa, it's true. It totally | :50:05. | :50:10. | |
changed my life. I worked until I won the Olympic Games. I had to hold | :50:11. | :50:15. | |
a full-time job and duck in and out of training and a couple of weeks | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
after that, I came home with a gold medal and I lost my job. Well, the | :50:19. | :50:24. | |
company I worked for were liquid dated and I had no sponsorship, I | :50:25. | :50:28. | |
had to turn the whole thing around and really put myself out there to | :50:29. | :50:31. | |
find work. There was no Lottery funding and things like that to help | :50:32. | :50:37. | |
me. So it is it has changed me in the sense that I have had the medal | :50:38. | :50:41. | |
now, I have had to make it work for me. Without that medal, I think it | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
would have still been very, very difficult. You know, it has worked | :50:46. | :50:51. | |
in my favour, it is one of the best achievements I could ever, ever have | :50:52. | :50:54. | |
done in my life, but you have to really sort of know how o to use it | :50:55. | :51:00. | |
and when to use T I do a lot of things with schools and I go and do | :51:01. | :51:06. | |
those and you know, motivational things, they give me a lot of | :51:07. | :51:11. | |
confidence, I ad hoc speak to people and people ask me to come to their | :51:12. | :51:17. | |
dinners and talk, it is my living doing those. Audley, you won gold in | :51:18. | :51:24. | |
2000. How has it changed your life? I went to Sydney, spouting off | :51:25. | :51:29. | |
telling everything I was going to win a gold and there was a lot | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
riding on it. At that time bobbing wasn't a lottery funded sport. We | :51:36. | :51:41. | |
set up the boxing union. We won the Commonwealth Games with four golds. | :51:42. | :51:48. | |
If we could go to Sydney and win golds, we would become a lottery | :51:49. | :51:52. | |
funded sport. A lot was riding on it. I knew I was ready to go there | :51:53. | :51:56. | |
and shine and winning a gold and when I came back, everything changed | :51:57. | :52:01. | |
from everybody, I came back a household name with the power of the | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
BBC and I was able to conclude my own television deal, I was able to | :52:07. | :52:11. | |
turn professional and the beautiful thing where boxing is today is that | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
everybody knew who I was. You want to be celebrated for who you are and | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
what you won because it was on the BBC, and because it was a gold, I | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
had a career with everybody following me as a professional and | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
boxing the next generation they had the Lottery funding so you see the | :52:28. | :52:34. | |
story, we have got 12 boxers qualified for Rio. In Sydney we only | :52:35. | :52:40. | |
had two. Funding, we're in the top three of sporting for boxing. In | :52:41. | :52:50. | |
2000, we weren't... Now the got people like Nicola Adams hoping to | :52:51. | :52:55. | |
retain her title in Rio. That's an amazing story. Let me bring in Zac | :52:56. | :53:01. | |
and Mark, Beijing, gold, London 2012, silver, Mark we were doing a | :53:02. | :53:05. | |
radio programme with an audience with mums and dads of athletes, | :53:06. | :53:11. | |
Olympians, kids, people who were inspired by the Team GB athletes and | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
you told the audience that day that you felt you had let them down by | :53:16. | :53:21. | |
winning silver and an eight-year-old boy said to you, actually contrary | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
to what you just said, you've inspired me. It was really, really | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
moving. Are you reconciled to winning silver in 2012 or not? I | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
don't think I will ever be satisfied with coming second. It depends on | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
the expectation of what you're going out to do. If you're going out to | :53:40. | :53:45. | |
win a bronze or silver, but we were going out to win gold because that's | :53:46. | :53:50. | |
what we experienced previous to do anything other than that, we failed. | :53:51. | :53:53. | |
We felt like we let everybody down because we were going interest there | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
to win. That young boy, I remember that day, it brought back some | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
memories, but I have had that a lot when you go and speak to kids when | :54:03. | :54:07. | |
they say, that inspired me. You prepare mentally and physically, the | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
emotional side you have no control over and when we didn't get to win, | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
the emotional side just took over and we kind of fell apart on the | :54:18. | :54:22. | |
podium. Zac, are you reconciled to it? No. | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
Really? If we look back at 2008... I want to fix this for you. I don't | :54:28. | :54:35. | |
like this! I know. I know. We had the dream season in 2008. We won | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
every race and we came back with three World Cup gold medals and | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
Olympic record and all those wonderful things and fast forward | :54:44. | :54:46. | |
four years to 2012 and we had the worst season we ever had, we ca last | :54:47. | :54:52. | |
in the World Cups, our training wasn't as good as it could have | :54:53. | :54:57. | |
been. The Olympics let us rescue the season with a gold medal and we were | :54:58. | :55:06. | |
0.7 second off it. When we got to the Games, we weren't on paper going | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
to make the final. Not everybody outside the sport knew that, but we | :55:11. | :55:13. | |
knew we had to turn it around. During the Olympic Games you will | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
try and move on every round, but each race felt like a final because | :55:17. | :55:19. | |
we were trying to prove to ourselves that we still had it. The fact we | :55:20. | :55:28. | |
won the heat was a miracle! Now, you should be proud of what you've done. | :55:29. | :55:39. | |
Let's contrast that feeling of silver with your silver Colin and | :55:40. | :55:44. | |
yours when a number of swimmers did not perform as expected. Presumably | :55:45. | :55:50. | |
you have different feelings about the silvers you won? I'm in between | :55:51. | :55:59. | |
to be honest. I can relate to what Mark and Jack are saying. I went in | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
under the radar a little bit because 2011 I had an injury so I was only | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
fifth at World Championships, I didn't have a great deal of pressure | :56:10. | :56:12. | |
going into London, the reaction from the public was what an amazing | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
medal. It has been a great performance, but you know, I think | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
as time went on, for so long, I held on to that seven 100ths as a margin, | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
that was the difference between success and failure because for us, | :56:27. | :56:31. | |
Olympic gold is the pinnacle of sport. And you know to be separated | :56:32. | :56:37. | |
by fractions of a second after putting at least a decade of work | :56:38. | :56:42. | |
into it and to preparing for it, it's also why we love sport, though, | :56:43. | :56:45. | |
isn't it? That's what sport is about. For me, my silver medal came, | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
I was a bronze medallist the year before. Going on to the Olympic | :56:52. | :56:56. | |
Games which was going to be my very first Olympic Games with these | :56:57. | :57:01. | |
megastars, Tessa was there as an Olympic champion and being able to | :57:02. | :57:06. | |
rub shoulders with the likes of these was really inspirational for | :57:07. | :57:09. | |
me. The next stepping stone was a medal at an Olympic Games at the age | :57:10. | :57:17. | |
of 21 going on to the blocks, really nervous, but excited about getting | :57:18. | :57:22. | |
on to the rostrum and I was projecting myself to four years | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
further on when I would be more experienced and hopefully world | :57:27. | :57:31. | |
number one. So it was a real stepping stone for me in a very | :57:32. | :57:35. | |
positive manner. Yeah, Richard, a gold for you at London 2012? I came | :57:36. | :57:42. | |
from a marathon background so I had to change events completely from | :57:43. | :57:48. | |
26.2 miles to 200 meters! That's crazy! Unfortunately, I went to the | :57:49. | :57:55. | |
IPC and tried to get the marathon put into the programme which it | :57:56. | :58:00. | |
wasn't. Took them to the court of arbitration of sport so it was a | :58:01. | :58:02. | |
massive journey just to get to London. I remember sitting down with | :58:03. | :58:08. | |
my coach at the time a bronze medallist in the Commonwealth and | :58:09. | :58:11. | |
the marathon herself and we were talking about how I was going to get | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
on the team never mind win. So 18 months after, I changed from | :58:16. | :58:21. | |
marathon to 200 meters... That's like some bad joke. It really is. | :58:22. | :58:27. | |
Put in a programme, a really intense programme and get lots of weight on, | :58:28. | :58:32. | |
a marathon runner is a bit skinny and just get on the team really and | :58:33. | :58:38. | |
everything happened. I was in great shape, best shape of my life. The | :58:39. | :58:44. | |
atmosphere of the Paralympics, I embraced that, but the gold medal | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
wasn't the pinnacle for me, that was about being able to open doors for | :58:49. | :58:55. | |
me and since then I've run Land's End to John o' Groats for my patron | :58:56. | :59:00. | |
charity which is what I really wanted to do in sport. The gold | :59:01. | :59:05. | |
medal hasn't really changed who I am as a person, but changed the | :59:06. | :59:08. | |
opportunities I got from it. I want one name from each of you, somebody | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
to look out for, it doesn't have to be a British athlete, it would be | :59:13. | :59:16. | |
nice if it was, who should we be looking out for in these Games? | :59:17. | :59:22. | |
Elaine Thompson, 200, she could win the double. A heavyweight young kid, | :59:23. | :59:30. | |
Acoli he is a heavyweight, but really coming on leaps and bounds | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
and he could be, I have got a few medallists, but he could be a | :59:35. | :59:39. | |
surprise Gold Medallist. Mark and Jack have been conferring. I don't | :59:40. | :59:44. | |
think we have any new youngsters. It doesn't have to be new? Anybody. | :59:45. | :59:53. | |
They have been winning that event, the men's four. I'm going to pick an | :59:54. | :00:00. | |
event, it could be the last time we see the lightweight four. It might | :00:01. | :00:05. | |
be canned in January. In terms of an event, it is a great one to watch | :00:06. | :00:09. | |
and it could be the last time we see it. Tessa? Young Dean Asher Smith is | :00:10. | :00:19. | |
like a gazelle and may not get a medal, but looking four years ahead. | :00:20. | :00:26. | |
She is a fantastic sprinter. James Guy, 200 and 400 mighter and Siobhan | :00:27. | :00:31. | |
O'Connor. The two of them have come on leaps and bounds and Siobhan, she | :00:32. | :00:36. | |
was in London as a 15-year-old, so the both of them are going to take | :00:37. | :00:41. | |
the bull by the horns I think in Rio and we could see medal from them. A | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
Nottingham lad, so I'll pick somebody from Nottingham, Olly Hind. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
He won gold in London, but he is going for three golds in Rio. Very | :00:53. | :00:59. | |
mature athlete and showed great form this year and hopefully, he | :01:00. | :01:04. | |
performs, I'm going for the double myself, the 100 and 200. | :01:05. | :01:11. | |
Thank you all very much, appreciate your coming from the programme. | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
Coverage on BBC One, BBC Two, and five live. Time for the latest | :01:19. | :01:19. | |
weather. We've got a heatwave, a short Tom | :01:20. | :01:30. | |
Heap wave but we will see the best temperatures of the euro, lots of | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
sunshine in the southern UK, not the case in Scotland and Northern | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
Ireland thanks to these weather fronts which will bring outbreaks of | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
rain. This area of high pressure coming into the country, bringing | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
the hot humid air from the continent will drive hot weather for the next | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
few days. Mist and fog through the morning, England and Wales, plenty | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
of sunshine, this is where we will see temperatures soaring, close to | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
31 Celsius in London this afternoon, cool along the coast, hot anywhere. | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
We could see them to be showers across North and East England | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
although they will be well isolated and most places will be dry, some | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
sunshine across Northern Ireland, turning warmer, for Scotland | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
generally cloudy away from the central belt, and Alex frame, top | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
ten richest 22 degrees. -- outbreaks of rain. It looks like a warm night | :02:21. | :02:27. | |
to come, England and Wales, warm and muggy, no relief from the heat of | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
the day, particularly Irish Sea coastal parts. On Tuesday the peak | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
of the heat will be here, even across Scotland and Northern | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Ireland, unbroken sunshine and pretty much across-the-board. We | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
could see Tim pitches rising into the low- mid 30s as this hot and | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
humid air comes from the near continent and brings his impressive | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
values -- temperatures rising. Maybe 34 Celsius, possibly 35 in the | :02:57. | :03:04. | |
south-east, 32 for northern England, 28 or 29 for Scotland and Northern | :03:05. | :03:09. | |
Ireland. No release into Tuesday night, those temperatures. Be high, | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
very warm and muggy to come, so there's every of low pressure will | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
move in, bringing in showers and thunderstorms to Wales, parts of | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
Northern Ireland, Scotland. Some could be very intense. Frequent | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
lightning, locally torrential downpours bringing flash flooding, | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
on Wednesday it looks like the north of the UK will be battered by | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Intel's thunderstorms. Another hot day in the South East, -- intense | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
thunderstorms. On Thursday and Friday it looks like all areas will | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
be cooler and fresher with warm spells of sunshine and also a few | :03:48. | :03:48. | |
scattered showers. Hello, it's just after 10 o'clock, | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme if you've | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
just joined us. MPs will decide today whether four | :03:56. | :04:07. | |
submarines should be replaced, carrying nuclear missiles. Labour | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
politicians are divided, yet the government says they are essential | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
to security. We'll get the latest from Westminster. | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
A minute's silence will be held across France this morning in memory | :04:17. | :04:19. | |
We have been hearing from those caught up in the attack. I was | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
really scared. I did not know what would happen to my friend or me. The | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
truck was really close to me. Moments after jumping, around three | :04:31. | :04:39. | |
seconds, I closed my eyes and then I heard the bench getting smashed. CD | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
full interview on our website. -- you can see the full interview. With | :04:47. | :04:52. | |
less than three weeks to go a group of Paralympic and is and Olympians | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
have been getting us in the mood for the Olympics. I think the Olympic | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
games and the Paralympics is the greatest show on Earth because it | :05:02. | :05:04. | |
brings together a combination of people, you make friends from it, | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
Win, lose, or draw, if you win, fantastic, you'll enjoy the | :05:10. | :05:12. | |
euphoria, and you can celebrate with the biblical haven't done so well. | :05:13. | :05:15. | |
It's becoming a bitter war of words between three of the world's | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
Taylor Swift, Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. | :05:19. | :05:21. | |
The latest on the celebrity spat in the next hour. | :05:22. | :05:35. | |
Here's a summary of the latest news with Joanna. MPs will vote today on | :05:36. | :05:58. | |
whether to replace the four submarines that carry Trident | :05:59. | :06:00. | |
nuclear missiles. Not a binding vote although it will be expected to | :06:01. | :06:04. | |
highlight the Labour Party is bit on the issue. Jeremy Corbyn and his | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
supporters are against renewal although others including the deputy | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
leader Tom Watson will back it. Theresa May says it would be | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
irresponsible to the UK to abandon its nuclear weapons. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
It's emerged that the gunman who killed three US police officers | :06:20. | :06:21. | |
in the American city of Baton Rouge, had posted video messages | :06:22. | :06:24. | |
complaining about the treatment of African Americans at the hands | :06:25. | :06:26. | |
One of Gavin Long's videos stresses he is not | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
linked to any group but is "affiliated with justice". | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
Three other officers were wounded - one critically - | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
in the attack at a petrol station in Baton Rouge. | :06:35. | :06:36. | |
The gunman was shot dead at the scene. | :06:37. | :06:38. | |
France is to put soldiers outside schools, deploy troops to protect | :06:39. | :06:41. | |
large gatherings and use reservists at tourist landmarks, | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
as part of its response to the Nice terror attack. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
A minute's silence will be observed across the country in the next hour, | :06:47. | :06:49. | |
The French interior minister spoke in the last hour about | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
TRANSLATION: The activity of the cells in national territory and | :06:55. | :07:02. | |
Europe could lead and make certain places vulnerable. France has never | :07:03. | :07:12. | |
been faced with such a threat to the same level that we are facing now. | :07:13. | :07:16. | |
European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
are expected to call on the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
to respect the rule of law and human rights | :07:24. | :07:25. | |
as he deals with those who organised the failed coup against him. | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
Mr Erdogan acted swiftly against those he accuses of being | :07:29. | :07:31. | |
Six thousand people are under arrest, including the President's | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
top military aide and thousands of members of the judiciary. | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is at that meeting | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
of foreign ministers - and has added his voice to those | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
While in Brussels, he's also having talks on the UK's | :07:46. | :07:51. | |
Mr Johnson said progress was already being made. | :07:52. | :07:58. | |
have to give effect to the will of the people and will be taking | :07:59. | :08:10. | |
steps to leave the European Union but that does not | :08:11. | :08:12. | |
mean that we will be leaving Europe, we will not abandon our leading role | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
in European participation and co-operation of all kinds. | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
I had a very good conversation to that effect | :08:18. | :08:20. | |
last night with High Representative Mogherini and she agreed very | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
much that was a role that Britain should continue to play. | :08:24. | :08:29. | |
One of Britain's most important technology firms is to be bought by | :08:30. | :08:38. | |
a Japanese company for ?24 billion. Shareholders in ARM Holdings based | :08:39. | :08:41. | |
in Cambridge are expected to approve the deal with Softbank from Japan. | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
The firm makes microchips including those used in most smartphones | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
including the Apple and Samsung phones. Philip Hammond has welcomed | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
the deal. This company is a great success story and the fact that a | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
Japanese country just weeks after the referendum is prepared to make | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
this kind of commitment to the UK and prepared to grow that business | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
in the UK is a resounding endorsement of the resilience of the | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
British economy and the attractiveness of Britain as a place | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
for international companies to do business. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
People aged under 35 are set to become the first | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
generation to earn less than their predecessors, | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
The Resolution Foundation found that the 'millenials | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
generation' who reached adulthood in the year 2000 earned | :09:28. | :09:29. | |
?8,000 less in their twenties than the previous | :09:30. | :09:31. | |
If their pay rises at the same rate as those who went before them, | :09:32. | :09:41. | |
their average career earnings over the course | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
of their working lives will be less than their predecessors. | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
Singer Taylor Swift's high profile social media spat with Kanye West | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
and Kim Kardashian continues - and she's accusing the couple | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
It began when Swift complained about a lyric | :09:52. | :09:53. | |
about her in the Kanye West song Famous. | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
That was followed by Kardashian posting a series of videos appearing | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
to show her husband talking to the singer about the track, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
claiming the footage proves Taylor had approved | :10:02. | :10:03. | |
But Taylor Swift is standing by her allegations. | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.30. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
Thank you very much. A few comments from our viewers, having watched our | :10:15. | :10:22. | |

Walker and Liam. 18 days to go until Rio, what will you be doing in those | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
days to prepare? We will be travelling out to a holding camp | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
next Tuesday, so we've got a few days before them and we will be in | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
Sheffield practising altogether with the team. Just about getting ready, | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
getting the small things ready and then getting on the plane, and just | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
getting into the atmosphere, soaked up, and getting ready to compete. | :11:26. | :11:33. | |
Exciting? Very. Liam, you competed at London 2012 so you had host | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
nation plays, Rio commute qualified by right, the first time a British | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
and has done that in 20 years. Impressive! Thank you. After London, | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
I told myself, I really want to qualify in my own right. It was | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
touch and go at some points, waiting to hear the news about the ranking, | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
but we got there in the end. It was an amazing feeling to be there. Sam, | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
first Olympics, has he given you any tips because he's done this before! | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
Not yet, I'm hoping he will when we get there! It's a new experience for | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
him as well, since the last one was the home games and now it is his | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
first away games as well. All really excited to get going. Competing in | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
our first Olympics, what does it mean to you? Everyone asks and I'm | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
not sure I can put it into words. It is like that feeling, when I started | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
playing table tennis, the Olympics is the pinnacle of table tennis, and | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
the dream is to get medals there. So it's the first step, isn't it, to | :12:44. | :12:49. | |
qualify, and then get there and try to win the medals. Liam you won | :12:50. | :12:56. | |
bronze at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in the singles, how much of | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
the step up with the Olympics be? In Commonwealth week we go there with | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
more of an expectation to win medals, India and Singapore are the | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
strongest countries. My aim was to win a medal. I got there and I was | :13:11. | :13:17. | |
the first English player to win singles out a Commonwealth Games so | :13:18. | :13:19. | |
that gave me confidence. Now I think we stepped up another level, all | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
three of us in the team, we won bronze in the World Championships in | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
March, and now we are going into this Olympics with a lot of | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
confidence that we can go there and compete, I don't want to say it, but | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
may be, win a medal! Final question, medals a possibility? Yeah. Anything | :13:41. | :13:48. | |
can happen! There's always a chance. Thank you so much for coming in, | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
pleasure to talk to you. They you are, Victoria, 19 days until the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
table tennis, edition starts, if you want to cheer them on. Good luck to | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
me and Sam. Nice to hear from them. Welcome to the programme. It is 13 | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
minutes past ten o'clock on a Monday morning. | :14:09. | :14:09. | |
The man who killed three policemen in the American city of Baton Rouge, | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
posted video messages complaining about the treatment | :14:14. | :14:14. | |
of African-Americans by police, before he carried out the attack. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
Gavin Long, a former US marine, was shot dead | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
after an exchange of gunfire with law enforcement officials. | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
President Obama has called for unity across the country. | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
It is so important that everyone, regardless of race or political | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
party or profession, regardless of what organisations who are a part | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
of, everyone right now, focus on words and actions that can unite | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
this country rather than divide it further. We don't need inflammatory | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
rhetoric. We don't need careless accusations thrown around to score | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
little points or advance an agenda. We need to temper our words and open | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
our hearts, all of us. We need what we saw in Dallas this week. As a | :15:13. | :15:18. | |
community came together to restore order and deeper unity and | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
understanding. We need the kind of efforts we saw this week in meetings | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
between community leaders and police, some of which I participated | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
in when I saw people of goodwill pledged to work together to redo is | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
violence throughout all of our communities. That is what is needed | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
right now. And it is up to all of us to make sure we part of the solution | :15:42. | :15:43. | |
and not part of the problem. Baton ruing is in pain once more. | :15:44. | :15:59. | |
Police responded to calls that an armed man was on the hideway, he | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
turn his gun on them. Three police officers were killed. | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
Three others wounded. One of them critically. A heinous attack on law | :16:13. | :16:21. | |
enforcement claimed the lives of two police officers. One sheriff's | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
deputy and injured three others, one of hom today, right now as we speak | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
is fighting for his life. It is unjustified and it is unjustifiable. | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
The violence, the hatred just has to stop. The gunman who was shot dead | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
at the scene has been identified as Gavin Long. It was his 29th | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
birthday. His motive was unclear, but he said that only violence could | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
stop the people he called bullies. We have to be loud and clear that | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
nothing justifies violence against law enforcement. Attacks on police | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
are an attack on all of us and the rule of law that makes society | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
possible. This has been a city divided dins Alton Sterling was shot | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
by police two weeks ago. This violent video started a call for | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
justice and years of tension between officers and the black community | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
erupted on to the streets in days of demonstrations. Then came this, a | :17:26. | :17:31. | |
lone black gunman took aim at police in Dallas killing five officers. It | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
prompted one of the officers killed to write this on social media. | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
"These are trying times. Please don't let tate hate infect your | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
heart." Jackson became a father for the first time only four months ago. | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
The two other police officers who died were also family men. The call | :17:53. | :17:57. | |
in this city is for peace. But right now, it seems so very far away. | :17:58. | :18:04. | |
The two Labour leadership rivals Owen Smith and Angela Eagle | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
will face-off tonight for the right to challenge the current | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
Two days after that attempted takeover of the government | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
290 people lost their lives on Friday night. | :18:19. | :18:21. | |
The government has now arrested 6,000 people including | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
thousands of military personnel and judges after the President | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
Tayyip Erdogan called for a clear-out, a purge | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
of the "virus" that caused the attempted coup. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Some are accused of being loyal to a moderate cleric | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
called Fethullah Gulen, who lives in the United States, | :18:44. | :18:51. | |
once a close ally of the President and helped him to come to power, | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
but the president has now accused of masterminding the takeover. | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
Turkey has had four military takeovers since 1960. | :19:01. | :19:07. | |
The army sees itself as the protector of Turkey's democracy | :19:08. | :19:09. | |
That means the state shouldn't impose a religion, | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
Historically the military has stepped in when those values | :19:13. | :19:29. | |
Recently there have been tensions between the Turkish army | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
and President Erdogan over his brand of Islamism, and some | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
A lack of public support is one reason. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
President Erdogan has the backing of more than half | :19:39. | :19:40. | |
There simply weren't enough soldiers involved in the coup attempt | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
and to take over a country you also need the backing of | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
President Erdogan has now detained thousands of judges to prevent that. | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Perhaps the biggest issue was there was no international | :19:54. | :19:56. | |
President Erdogan was democratically elected by the people. | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
It seems a contradiction that the plotters were talking | :20:01. | :20:03. | |
about upholding democracy, while bombing Parliament. | :20:04. | :20:12. | |
It's not yet clear who ordered the attempted take-over. | :20:13. | :20:16. | |
The government has blamed Fethullah Gulen, so who is he? | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
He leads the Hizmet movement which is followed by | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
It promotes education and acting for the welfare of others. | :20:24. | :20:30. | |
Mr Gulen was a friend, an ally of President Erdogan. | :20:31. | :20:33. | |
They fell out over a corruption scandal in 2013. | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
Fethullah Gulen now lives in exile in the US and denies being involved | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
Turkey has called for him to be sent back from the States to face trial. | :20:42. | :20:59. | |
Let's get the perspective of people who live in Turkey who witnessed | :21:00. | :21:07. | |
Nader Fekri is British, and a visiting professor living | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
in Istanbul with his wife and two children, he was there | :21:12. | :21:13. | |
Erol Temir is a Turkish businessman from Istanbul who took part | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
in patriotic celebrations over the weekend in support for President | :21:18. | :21:19. | |
And from the capital Ankara, we have 26-year-old student | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
Can Demir who believes President Erdogan staged a fake | :21:24. | :21:25. | |
Lastly, Mehmet Onur Yilmaz is the editor of a local newspaper | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
in Ankara and is worried about the future of his country. | :21:30. | :21:34. | |
Welcome all of you. In terms of what the president is doing now, | :21:35. | :21:43. | |
arresting thousands of people, some military personnel, some judges, | :21:44. | :21:52. | |
what is that about? The president has for a long time delivered a | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
narrative is what a parallel State for a fifth Colm operating in Turkey | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
in the military and the judiciary and the police force and amongst | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
other parts of the State. These people are supporters of Mr Gulen, | :22:09. | :22:14. | |
who is an exiled cleric. Mr Gulen says that they are just his | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
followers, they read his works, he doesn't have any control over them | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
and they are devoted to a different way of running the country. | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
President Erdogan was initially an ally of Mr Gulen, however they are | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
fell out sparly a few years ago and now the Government is hell bent on | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
rooting out on what they say and see as a threat to the State. So many of | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
these people who have been arrested are accused of being part of a | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
moflt, but it must be stressed there is no structure, there is no | :22:52. | :22:59. | |
organisation. . So we will see what happens. Roll, you were Er out to | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
the small hours on Saturday night in Istanbul's square in a show of | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
support for the Turkish Government, for the president, why was that | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
important to you? Hello. Hi,er roll, can you hear me? Yes, I hear you, | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
but not just here, but all of Turkey. Tell me why it was important | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
for you to be out showing support? Because this is not the problem. Mr | :23:31. | :23:39. | |
Gulen began about 40 years ago and like everywhere in the world, we | :23:40. | :23:48. | |
help people. He was helping for the good people. He didn't like any time | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
poor people and poor students. So we didn't know his plan after 30 years | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
later. That's why he was very good with President Erdogan, but his plan | :24:05. | :24:17. | |
I think he will be king of Turkey, so I can't explain what I'm | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
thinking, my English, my opening, but in Turkey now, not all Turkey, | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
not all Turkish people, so last 13 years we he learn about democracy | :24:29. | :24:35. | |
from President Erdogan. You are in the capital. Things, I mean are | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
things back to normal would you say or not really? Not quite really | :24:42. | :24:55. | |
normal. We still see big trucks protecting the state buildings and | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
many other buildings. People cannot go through there. Something is | :25:02. | :25:06. | |
happening which we don't really know what's going on. Right. What do you | :25:07. | :25:20. | |
think about all the arrests? People from different parts of Turkey were | :25:21. | :25:26. | |
arrested. Nobody knows who they are. We really don't know how this number | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
of people could be lifted in this short time. They are suspicious | :25:33. | :25:41. | |
about new torture cases and hundreds of soldiers without any degree is | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
detained in sports facilities. Nobody really can explain what is | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
going on. Members of the constitutional court are detained. | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
If a Government will not follow its own rules so I don't understand what | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
is the difference between a soldier, a military coup and the Government. | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
So it is really, the major problem is nobody feels well and nobody | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
feels safe in Turkey. Can, do you feel safe? Can, can you hear me? | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
Yes, I can hear you. Do you feel safe? Yeah, I feel safe. Everything | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
is normal in Turkey now. That's not what our other guest was saying in | :26:30. | :26:35. | |
Ankara, tell me why you believe this whole attempted takeover was | :26:36. | :26:40. | |
actually a stunt by your president? Yes, I think because everything is | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
controversial made by him, but now, we only talk about the fake coup. | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
There is nothing controversial for him. I don't understand. Everything | :26:51. | :26:57. | |
he made was an aringment in Turkey. Yes. Before this coup. Before last | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
Friday night, but now we are all happy with him. I see what you mean. | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
I understand. He is powerful again. He was losing his power. He was | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
losing his popularity. He was becoming weak. But now, he is really | :27:13. | :27:17. | |
powerful again. Everybody supports him. Even his opposition parties. | :27:18. | :27:24. | |
Yeah, I understand, yeah. Do you buy that? I think it would be very, very | :27:25. | :27:33. | |
difficult. I understand conspiracy theories, I understand why everybody | :27:34. | :27:36. | |
thinks that he is involved somewhere, but the reality of it on | :27:37. | :27:42. | |
Friday night, we have to remember that President Erdogan initially | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
Prime Minister Erdogan has won elections over the past dozen years, | :27:48. | :27:53. | |
four elections as leader of the Government and now as president. He | :27:54. | :27:56. | |
does have massive support within the country, but also and more | :27:57. | :28:00. | |
importantly for democracy, when the attempted coup was taking place, all | :28:01. | :28:06. | |
of the major political parties, the Republican People's Party and the | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
Nationalist Movement and the ADP came out in support of the | :28:12. | :28:15. | |
Government and against the coup. And so, you know, you can argue whether | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
it was a half-hearted attempt, you can argue that it wasn't terribly | :28:20. | :28:23. | |
well planned or executed, now is not the time to go into that, but the | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
reality of it is when the president called the people to go out on the | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
streets, which I must admit at the time, living here, and hearing the | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
gunshots and hearing the explosions and jets and helicopters flying | :28:35. | :28:39. | |
overhead, very Carey time, people did heed that call, you know. I | :28:40. | :28:45. | |
thought tfsz foolhardy, I wouldn't have done it personally, but tens of | :28:46. | :28:51. | |
thousands across Istanbul, across Ankara, all over people came out | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
and, you know, we have to see this as a positive thing for democracy. | :28:56. | :29:00. | |
That people came and supported their elected Government. So I understand | :29:01. | :29:06. | |
what people are saying about this was a conspiracy, this was something | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
that if you like a black flag operation by the president, but | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
there is nothing to indicate it, there is nothing to indicate the | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
president's charge that this was somehow foreign inspired. | :29:22. | :29:24. | |
All right, thank you very much all of you, I appreciate you giving your | :29:25. | :29:28. | |
time this morning, thank you. I know, it is a bit difficult to hear | :29:29. | :29:32. | |
a couple of our guests, we do like to try, I hope you were able to bear | :29:33. | :29:34. | |
with us. MPs will decide whether to spend | :29:35. | :29:48. | |
billions to carry Trident submarines. The Government says the | :29:49. | :29:51. | |
submarines are essential to our security. We will get the latest | :29:52. | :29:55. | |
from Westminster. The bit per war of words playing out on social media. | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
We have got the latest on the celebrity spat between Taylor Swift | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
and Kayne West and Kim car dashin. With the news, here's Joanna | :30:07. | :30:14. | |
in the BBC Newsroom. Theresa May will be making her first | :30:15. | :30:21. | |
overseas visit as Prime Minister this week. She will met Angela | :30:22. | :30:25. | |
Merkel in Berlin on Wednesday and President Hollande in Paris on | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
Thursday. Downing Street has said the separate talks will include how | :30:29. | :30:32. | |
the UK can work with Germany and France as Britain prepares to leave | :30:33. | :30:39. | |
the EU. Mrs May is expected to discuss counter-terrorism | :30:40. | :30:42. | |
co-operation after Thursday's attack in Nice which killed 84 people. | :30:43. | :30:52. | |
MPs are set to vote tonight on whether to renew Britain's nuclear | :30:53. | :31:06. | |
weapons programme. The renewal would cost ?31 billion. Theresa May says | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
it will be a gross irresponsibility in the UK to abandon its nuclear | :31:13. | :31:17. | |
weapons. France is to deploy soldiers outside schools as part of | :31:18. | :31:22. | |
its response to the news terrorist attack. One minute's silence will be | :31:23. | :31:27. | |
observed at 11am in memory of the 84 who died. The interview minister | :31:28. | :31:32. | |
spoke in the last hour about those who died. TRANSLATION: The activity | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
of the cells on the national territory and in Europe, which could | :31:38. | :31:45. | |
make our countries vulnerable and encourage others to strike. This | :31:46. | :31:51. | |
threat, France has never been faced with such a threat to the level that | :31:52. | :31:57. | |
we are facing now. It has emerged that the Turkish authorities have | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
detained almost 8000 police officers as they investigate the failed coup | :32:01. | :32:05. | |
on Friday. European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today | :32:06. | :32:09. | |
are expected to call on President Erdogan to respect the rule of law | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
and human rights as he deals with suspects. He has acted swiftly | :32:14. | :32:18. | |
against those he accuses of being part of the plot backing the plot | :32:19. | :32:23. | |
with many members of the judiciary among those arrested. Foreign | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
Secretary Boris Johnson is that the meeting of foreign ministers and has | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
added his voice to those calling for restraint in Turkey. He's also | :32:32. | :32:35. | |
having talks on the UK's plans to leave the European Union. He said | :32:36. | :32:41. | |
progress was already being made. It has emerged that the gunman who | :32:42. | :32:45. | |
killed three US police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, had posted | :32:46. | :32:50. | |
video messages complaining about the treatment of African Americans at | :32:51. | :32:53. | |
the hands of police. When a video made by Gavin Long stresses that he | :32:54. | :32:58. | |
is not linked to any group but is affiliated with justice. As well as | :32:59. | :33:02. | |
the three dead officers, three others were wounded, one critically | :33:03. | :33:07. | |
in the attack at the petrol station in Baton Rouge. The gunman was shot | :33:08. | :33:11. | |
dead at the scene. That's of the latest news, join me at 11am. Never | :33:12. | :33:19. | |
sports headlines with Jessica. Henrik Stenson broke records on his | :33:20. | :33:22. | |
way to becoming the first Scandinavian man to win a major. A | :33:23. | :33:27. | |
record score of 20 under par clinched the win at Royal Troon by | :33:28. | :33:32. | |
three shots ahead of American Phil Mickelson. Pakistan beat England by | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
75 runs in the first test at Lord's. The last wicket was taken by | :33:37. | :33:40. | |
Mohammad Amir was just come back to cricket after a spot fixing band. | :33:41. | :33:45. | |
Pakistan celebrated in style. England captain Alastair Cook blamed | :33:46. | :33:50. | |
the loss on my batting. Great Britain into the semifinals of the | :33:51. | :33:55. | |
Davis Cup after beating Syria. Kyle -- Serbia. Kyle Edmund won his match | :33:56. | :34:03. | |
to give Great Britain and unassailable 3-1 lead. Andy Murray | :34:04. | :34:07. | |
was watching from Belgrade. Britain will now play Argentina at home in | :34:08. | :34:14. | |
September. In the 15th stage of the Tour de France Chris Froome | :34:15. | :34:16. | |
maintained his hold on the yellow jersey. Is leading by one minute and | :34:17. | :34:23. | |
47 seconds as he goes for his third Tour de France victory. That's all | :34:24. | :34:25. | |
the sports today. But you live in a them people across | :34:26. | :34:39. | |
France will fall silent in memory of the aid for people killed in Nice. I | :34:40. | :34:52. | |
spoke to 2-mac about the attack. We are still in shock, we are still in | :34:53. | :35:04. | |
a time of grief because many of us have friends or relatives who have | :35:05. | :35:11. | |
been affected by this. At the same time we have to be, as an | :35:12. | :35:15. | |
organisation, professional and address the reality of the backlash | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
following these terrorist attacks in terms of Islamophobic hate crimes, | :35:21. | :35:26. | |
and threats against Muslim communities. That is where we are at | :35:27. | :35:30. | |
the moment. We are learning a little more each day about the man who did | :35:31. | :35:41. | |
this, Mohamed Bouhlel, originally from Tunisia. Can you give an | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
insight into why some immigrants to France from north African | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
communities are so disaffected? At this time at a political level there | :35:50. | :35:58. | |
is an attempt to blame this case on migration, or his religion, it has | :35:59. | :36:03. | |
something to do with his background or religion as much as it has to do | :36:04. | :36:15. | |
with lorries. That being said, what you are referring to is that there | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
is a disenfranchised youth in France, in our suburbs and ghettos, | :36:21. | :36:24. | |
we have created social and economic places where people are banned, | :36:25. | :36:41. | |
literally, the word banlieue in French means the place we ban | :36:42. | :36:48. | |
people. But this does not excuse anything, although we do have | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
structural problems in terms of exclusion and discrimination, this | :36:52. | :36:57. | |
does not give a permit to fall into radicalisation or petty criminality, | :36:58. | :37:04. | |
or violence. It will not be efficient in addressing terrorist | :37:05. | :37:08. | |
threats and we don't also face structural problems we have in | :37:09. | :37:13. | |
France and that is what you basically mention. What should | :37:14. | :37:18. | |
politicians do, then? We have several levels of intervention. | :37:19. | :37:22. | |
First in the short-term on the security front, we are monitoring, | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
watching so many people and suspecting so many innocent families | :37:29. | :37:31. | |
just because they are Muslims. And if you look at the European level, | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
the risk indicators, we are not looking for probable terrorists, but | :37:37. | :37:42. | |
probable Muslims, so just the fact that people are going to the mosque | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
regularly and growing a beard and being involved in religious | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
activities is in itself perceived as a terrorist act. So shifting from | :37:51. | :37:56. | |
the political motion of terrorism into an objective vision of | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
security, this is going to help us focus our intelligence services on a | :38:02. | :38:07. | |
much smaller number of cases but with higher chances of finding real | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
bad guys and not innocent families. That's not the one. Number two, we | :38:12. | :38:16. | |
must be able to define what it is to be French, to be British, to be | :38:17. | :38:23. | |
German, in inclusive terms. If we are dividing our societies into | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
ghettos, or ethnicities, specific cultures and religions, we are | :38:28. | :38:34. | |
falling exactly into the trap that Daesh once we us, in their | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
literature, in their reviews, that is what they want, they say that | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
basically we want to antagonise European society so that Muslim | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
committees locally will be persecuted which will make life | :38:48. | :38:52. | |
easier when we recruit them. So we need to be courageous politically | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
enough to unite and bring people together, irrespective of their | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
ethnic and cultural or religious belonging. And finally, we mentioned | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
it, in the long term we need to address these structural problems. | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
We need to understand that that is not a causal link between living in | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
the ghetto and falling into violence but there is not a causal link | :39:14. | :39:16. | |
between living in the ghetto and falling into violence but there's a | :39:17. | :39:18. | |
sociological reality which creates the possibility of a terrorist | :39:19. | :39:22. | |
recruitment, and the more deprived communities are left on their side, | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
the easier it is for desperate people to go and seek support from | :39:27. | :39:34. | |
them. Lets get more on the news that Theresa May is going to Berlin. | :39:35. | :39:40. | |
Norman is at Westminster. We've learned that Theresa May will be | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
having her first diplomatic encounter with Angela Merkel on | :39:45. | :39:47. | |
Wednesday in Berlin. What a fascinating encounter! Two women, so | :39:48. | :39:55. | |
evenly matched in their own ways, both very sober, serious, cautious, | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
hard-working politicians, people that Kenneth Clarke would no doubt | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
refer to as "A bloody difficult women". Fascinating meeting, it | :40:05. | :40:11. | |
follows the meeting between Theresa May and Nicola Sturgeon. All around | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
we are seeing women in positions of power. The other thing that strikes | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
me about it is that although David Davis is meant to be in charge of | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
the Brexit negotiations it's pretty clear that Theresa May will be the | :40:24. | :40:27. | |
one who at the end of the day runs the show when it comes to Brexit. | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
Not only is she having the face-to-face talks with Angela | :40:33. | :40:35. | |
Merkel, the next evening she is off to Paris to see Francois Hollande, | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
she's put herself in charge of the Cabinet subcommittee on Brexit so | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
that David Davis and Liam Fox will be sitting around the table, but who | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
will be at the top of the table, she will! And she has placed one of the | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
key backers next to breast Johnson in the Foreign Office. Sir Alan | :40:56. | :41:00. | |
Duncan, an experienced old hand, she's made absolutely sure she's got | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
her person alongside Boris Johnson. It tells us that Theresa May wants | :41:06. | :41:09. | |
to make absolutely sure that she's got a grip of what is happening with | :41:10. | :41:14. | |
Brexiteer. Very interesting. Tell us about this boat regarding Trident. | :41:15. | :41:21. | |
But write this vote. It's our nuclear deterrent, submarines with | :41:22. | :41:28. | |
missiles on board, Theresa May says they are essential to protecting the | :41:29. | :41:31. | |
security of families in Britain. Not what quite a lot of Labour MPs | :41:32. | :41:36. | |
think, although many do. That is true, although all the indications | :41:37. | :41:40. | |
are that when MPs vote on this tonight it will be overwhelmingly | :41:41. | :41:43. | |
passed. Pity much every government since Tony Blair has given approval | :41:44. | :41:50. | |
for the Trident nuclear submarine fleet to go ahead. So the | :41:51. | :41:54. | |
expectation is, this is what will happen overnight. There is a lot of | :41:55. | :42:01. | |
politics around this. In part you think the vote is so that Mrs may | :42:02. | :42:05. | |
has something she can rally her party around after the divisive | :42:06. | :42:11. | |
Brexit. It's also going to cause Labour maximum grief because it is | :42:12. | :42:13. | |
divided over this although today Michael Fallon insisted this was not | :42:14. | :42:16. | |
the reason the government was doing it. Navin Taylor with postponed this | :42:17. | :42:23. | |
vote for several months because of the election. I know MPs from all | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
sides of the house who have supported a nuclear deterrent and I | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
will vote was poured it tonight so we don't see this as a party | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
political issue. I hope we get the largest possible majority from | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
Parliament. But the divisions in the Labour ranks are extraordinary. | :42:43. | :42:46. | |
Jeremy Corbyn Woolford against the renewal of Trident in defiance of | :42:47. | :42:51. | |
his party policy which is to support it, his Shadow Defence Secretary and | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
Shadow Foreign Secretary say we're going to abstain because it's a | :42:56. | :43:01. | |
political gimmick, and we've got the leadership contenders Owen Smith and | :43:02. | :43:03. | |
Angela Eagle saying they will back it. The expectation is that half the | :43:04. | :43:09. | |
Labour Party will back it. So Labour is involved in a 3-way split on this | :43:10. | :43:11. | |
issue. Thank you, Norman, cheers. Let's speak to three Labour | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
voters who support each Kismet Meyon's preferred | :43:16. | :43:17. | |
candidate is the current Jack Scotcher is interested | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
in what Owen Smith offers, and Anne-Marie Swift is a life-long | :43:21. | :43:29. | |
Labour voter in Salford. And she prefers Angela Eagle. None | :43:30. | :43:37. | |
of them are party members, at the moment, so none of them could vote | :43:38. | :43:42. | |
in this Labour leadership content. -- contest. Let's hear why they | :43:43. | :43:46. | |
prefer the people and they do prefer. Kismet, why are you in | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
favour of Jeremy Corbyn even though you don't agree with everything he | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
does? As a politician he doesn't come across as the norm. He is the | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
voice of the people, he is more relatable. The way the media have | :44:00. | :44:04. | |
covered him, the way he dresses and stuff, think it's very unfair, | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
because of the end of the day it is not like he's wearing jeans to | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
Parliament, he's still wearing a blazer and a shirt which is quite | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
smart. He doesn't look like your average politician but what he has | :44:16. | :44:22. | |
done, not even a year, he's been leader, is a lot. And a massive | :44:23. | :44:26. | |
turnout rate. 600,000 registered voters now. He's done quite a lot of | :44:27. | :44:34. | |
Labour. He has been there for 33 years. What has he done becoming | :44:35. | :44:38. | |
leader? Since being leader everything he's done is first, be a | :44:39. | :44:47. | |
voice, he has taken public questions into Parliament which I think is a | :44:48. | :44:50. | |
really big thing because he's genuinely being voiced the us, | :44:51. | :44:54. | |
forcing our questions, not rewarding them. -- keys being a force for us. | :44:55. | :45:04. | |
Let me speak to Anne-Marie. The voice of the people although not | :45:05. | :45:09. | |
feel? No, I want a strong opposition to the Tory government. Someone who | :45:10. | :45:14. | |
can lead the party to a potential win in the next election. I cannot | :45:15. | :45:21. | |
see Jeremy Corbyn being that person. Why is Angela Eagle that person as | :45:22. | :45:25. | |
far as you are concerned? She's got a proven track record in the House | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
of Commons, held her own against people like the Chancellor which it | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
was Business Secretary, she's been a lifelong MP. She is a good northern | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
woman. And it is time we had a woman leader of the Labour Party. | :45:39. | :45:43. | |
Jack? I mean who could possibly disagree with that? But I would say | :45:44. | :45:51. | |
this is not a case of going from one extreme to the other which I think | :45:52. | :46:06. | |
we could see with the sorry, with Angela Eagle becoming leader of the | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
Labour Party. That's too much of a short from Corbyn to someone who is | :46:11. | :46:15. | |
essentially Blairite and I think Corbyn has come about because of | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
that steadfast commitment to social justice and that movement. But I | :46:22. | :46:28. | |
don't think we see a commitment to the Parliamentary Labour Party from | :46:29. | :46:34. | |
Corbyn and I think that compromise lies in the vote for Owen Smith who | :46:35. | :46:41. | |
I believe is a, yeah, is a good compromise between the two. Could he | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
win an election against Theresa May in the country? Well, I think, the | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
Corbyn leadership, he hasn't gained... No, Owen Smith, could Owen | :46:51. | :46:58. | |
Smith? Yes, so he would get the support back from Old Labour voters | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
who have gone to the Conservatives and Ukip, and I think that's where | :47:03. | :47:06. | |
the strategy is required that's lacking in the Corbyn leadership. | :47:07. | :47:11. | |
OK. So I said at the beginning, you're voters, you are not members, | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
are you going to pay the ?25 to vote in the Labour leadership? So I'm | :47:16. | :47:23. | |
socially housed by the YMCA, I'm working two jobs and I'm making it | :47:24. | :47:28. | |
difficult to make ends meet and ?25 is too much for me, that's a week's | :47:29. | :47:33. | |
food shop. It is a tricky situation. What about you? I think... Are you | :47:34. | :47:40. | |
going to pay the 25 quid to vote? I haven't ever considered becoming a | :47:41. | :47:44. | |
member before so I think we're all, I think we all feel the same. We | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
will share the same view on that, I don't feel ready to do that | :47:50. | :47:52. | |
straightaway. OK, what about you Ann-Marie? I have got a real issue | :47:53. | :47:57. | |
with the ?25 thing. It just feels like if you can afford to pay to | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
become a member of the Labour Party it gives you the right to vote. Even | :48:02. | :48:06. | |
though I'm supporting Angela Eagle, I'm opposed to that. Right. OK. | :48:07. | :48:12. | |
That's really interesting. A number of people have said it is just too | :48:13. | :48:17. | |
much for people to pay that amount... Especially going from ?3 | :48:18. | :48:22. | |
to ?25, that's a huge jump and it is quite unfair for the working class | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
because it is a large amount of money, you know. It is a large | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
amount of money for anybody, it is not just the working class actually. | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
No, in general, I mean, obviously to come people, it is less and more. I | :48:36. | :48:42. | |
think the issue is why ?25 now at this crucial time that members | :48:43. | :48:47. | |
supposedly have a say in who the leader of the Labour Party... That's | :48:48. | :48:51. | |
a good question. I think it is because there has been | :48:52. | :48:58. | |
a surge in support for the Labour Party from those who have not | :48:59. | :49:04. | |
necessarily been committed to the Parliamentary Labour Party | :49:05. | :49:09. | |
throughout. Right? And I think it is a strategic decision made by the NEC | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
to make sure that although we have seen a lot of support for Corbyn | :49:15. | :49:21. | |
that doesn't necessarily reflect the overall views of the country. Ann | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
May radio is it right there is a leadership contest in the Labour | :49:26. | :49:29. | |
Party at all at this period of time? Right now? Unfortunately I think it | :49:30. | :49:36. | |
is. It is right. Do you? I can't see Jeremy Corbyn being able to put | :49:37. | :49:39. | |
together a viable opposition and a party that can really contest a | :49:40. | :49:42. | |
general election should Theresa May decide to have a general election | :49:43. | :49:46. | |
sooner rather than later which I suspect she might given that she is | :49:47. | :49:50. | |
very cleverly positioned herself in the centre now. She is saying the | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
things that the majority of the electorate want to hear and it | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
bothers me that we don't have anybody standing up and positioning | :49:59. | :50:02. | |
themselves as a real true opposition to her right now. I mean, Mr Corbyn | :50:03. | :50:08. | |
does have the support of hundreds of thousands of people who voted for | :50:09. | :50:14. | |
him just nine months ago. We hear anecdotally from MPs that some of | :50:15. | :50:17. | |
those members have apparently changed their mind about Mr Corbyn, | :50:18. | :50:22. | |
nevertheless, he won an overwhelming mandate nine months ago. But there | :50:23. | :50:26. | |
are nine million voters out there who are not members of the Labour | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
Party like myself and I think our voices need to be heard as well and | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
that's the whole question about the ?25 to become a member of the Labour | :50:37. | :50:40. | |
Party. It is somehow wrong and it is disrepresentative. OK, thank you | :50:41. | :50:43. | |
very much. A bitter war of words between three | :50:44. | :50:49. | |
of the world's biggest celebrities. Taylor Swift is accusing Kanye West | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
and his wife Kim Kardashian of "character assassination" | :50:53. | :50:55. | |
in a row over one of Kanye's songs. We can't play you a lot | :50:56. | :51:05. | |
of his song "Famous" - the video and lyrics are too | :51:06. | :51:07. | |
explicit for this I should warn you now that we will | :51:08. | :51:10. | |
be talking about words you may find offensive, but here's a little | :51:11. | :51:16. | |
of what we can show. # Man I can understand how it can be | :51:17. | :51:25. | |
hard to love a girl like me. # I don't blame you much for wanting | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
to be free. # I just wanted you to know if... | :51:32. | :51:38. | |
... # | :51:39. | :51:41. | |
In the video Kanye calls Taylor a "bitch." | :51:42. | :51:43. | |
Last night Kim posted videos apparently showing that Kanye called | :51:44. | :51:47. | |
In a moment, we'll talk to our arts and music guru Jimmy Blake, | :51:48. | :51:53. | |
but first let's have a listen to a recording of that | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
So it's a complicated story and Jimmy Blake | :51:57. | :52:32. | |
Where do we start? This is a feud that's been going on for a while. In | :52:33. | :52:50. | |
twine, Kanye West said I'm going to let you finish, but Beyonce had a | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
better video. Since then the two had a bit of beef as it were. So this | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
song he has kind of related to that and said that I made her famous, and | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
that we might still have sex in a weird kind of quay. Way. He said I | :53:04. | :53:12. | |
made her famous. Has Taylor Swift released a statement? I can't | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
believe I'm asking that question! Of course, she has! In this case, she | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
has replied. She has said, you know, I have seen the video,tive heard the | :53:24. | :53:26. | |
phone call and she acknowledged that that phone call happened, but the | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
thing that she really has an issue with is the fact that he claims that | :53:31. | :53:35. | |
he made her famous. She says that she approved the kind of, you know, | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
we might still have sex, she understands it is not something | :53:40. | :53:43. | |
that's very nice, but she does see where he is coming from and in that | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
phone call, she says thanks for calling me, but the bit she has a | :53:48. | :53:52. | |
problem with is when he says I made you famous and that's the problem, | :53:53. | :53:56. | |
the thing she had a problem with. At the Grammys when she won album of | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
the year, she made a speech saying to young girls out there, you're | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
always going to get someone who tries to cut down your success and | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
cuts down your ambition and that was seen as a reference to Famous which | :54:08. | :54:12. | |
had been played at that point. And so in response West slash Kim | :54:13. | :54:15. | |
Kardashian, what are they saying now? Back again. There hasn't been | :54:16. | :54:21. | |
another one yet. There hasn't been a second sort of piece from them. At | :54:22. | :54:28. | |
the moment, all there is this piece on Kim Kardashian's Snapchat of the | :54:29. | :54:32. | |
full conversation, but Taylor does go full in-depth in her response in | :54:33. | :54:38. | |
saying it is character assassination that she wasn't given the full song | :54:39. | :54:43. | |
before it was released and she never gave full approval. Yes, she had a | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
phone call from Kanye, but was never played the full song. Right, OK. In | :54:49. | :54:54. | |
terms of Taylor Swift fans, what are they saying? I mean, whenever this | :54:55. | :54:59. | |
kind of thing happens, Taylor Swift fans are supportive of her. Last | :55:00. | :55:05. | |
week cal vil Harris had a go at her on Twitter and said, "You're trying | :55:06. | :55:13. | |
to throw me under the bus." She claimed she had written one of the | :55:14. | :55:19. | |
songs on his new album. He said, "You're trying to throw me under the | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
bus." Her fans got behind her and supported her and saying this is | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
Kanye trying to do one over on Taylor, Calvin tried do it again. | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
They have rallied behind her and given her support. In terms of the | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
lyrics, how much criticism has Kanye West had? The whole album has kind | :55:38. | :55:44. | |
of within Kanye West fans it has gone down well and been well | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
received, but it is not seen as his best body of work. The lyrics on | :55:48. | :55:52. | |
that particular song have kind of always ever since he played it out, | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
he did a sort of listening party at Madison Square Garden and people | :55:59. | :56:01. | |
have acknowledged it and said it is not necessarily on there, is it? But | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
with this phone call, he does kind of try and say, you know, I have | :56:06. | :56:10. | |
acknowledged it. I've given you a warning that this is coming out, but | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
like I say, the thing she has issue with is the fact that he is claiming | :56:15. | :56:17. | |
that she is famous because of something Kanye West did. Thank you | :56:18. | :56:21. | |
very much, Jimmy. You're welcome. Thank you. | :56:22. | :56:28. | |

Thank you for your comments, we always appreciate them. Quite a few | :57:47. | :57:50. | |
of you talking about the Labour leadership contest, Andrea says, | :57:51. | :57:54. | |
"The ?25 is an insult to the principles of the Labour Party | :57:55. | :57:57. | |
designed to exclude the working class. It is shameful." A tweet from | :57:58. | :58:04. | |
Lisa, "?25 is for supporter status, not even membership, but it is | :58:05. | :58:09. | |
exsetionive and will alienate many people from taking part." The Labour | :58:10. | :58:13. | |
Party by charging ?25 is depriving those who should vote Labour Party | :58:14. | :58:19. | |
Labour and those who support for a laugh and are rich enough." "William | :58:20. | :58:24. | |
says, "Corbyn, like him or loathe him, he has changed the UK." Mark | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
says, "Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are leading my party to | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
destruction. Jeremy will never be a true leader." Thank you for those. | :58:34. | :58:37. | |
