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

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 -

:01:49.: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.

Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:28:40.:28:43.

MPs are set to vote tonight on whether to replace the four

:28:44.:28:46.

submarines that carry the UK's Trident nuclear missiles.

:28:47.:28:49.

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.

including Deputy Leader Tom Watson will back it.

:29:00.:29:01.

The Prime Minister Theresa May says it would be irresponsible for the UK

:29:02.:29:04.

President Obama has urged Americans to stay calm

:29:05.:29:08.

following the fatal shooting of three policemen in Louisiana.

:29:09.:29:13.

Three other officers were wounded, one critically,

:29:14.:29:15.

in the attack by a gunman at a petrol station in Baton Rouge.

:29:16.:29:18.

The gunman was shot dead at the scene.

:29:19.:29:25.

A minute's silence will be observed across France at 11am

European Union foreign ministers meeting in Brussels today

:29:41.:29:46.

are expected to call on the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan,

:29:47.:29:49.

to respect the rule of law and human rights.

:29:50.:29:52.

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.

6,000 people are under arrest, including the President's

:30:04.:30:06.

top military aide and thousands of members of the judiciary.

:30:07.:30:10.

The Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson, is at that meeting

:30:11.:30:14.

of foreign ministers and has added his voice to those

:30:15.:30:16.

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.

That is a summary of the news. No other sport with Jessica.

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

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.

:10:52.:11:00.

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

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.
