It was just so shocking, thinking, my goodness, | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
this is how I'm going to die, thousands of miles from home. | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
And I thought, how terrible their lives would be | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
I'd only been on the island for 30 hours at the time. | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
My neck was being compressed throughout. | :01:08. | :01:14. | |
And from Limerick via Bolton, Blackburn, Newcastle, | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
West Ham and Sunderland, we want your reaction if you're | :01:18. | :01:20. | |

Jeremy Corbyn will launch his campaign to retain the Labour | :02:12. | :02:17. | |
leadership today by setting out how his government | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
He's facing a challenge from former Shadow Cabinet | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
Mr Corbyn will announce plans to force employers to publish wage | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
audits in order to deal with workplace discrimination. | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
At a rally in London last night, the Labour leader said he planned | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
You may have noticed I have received one or two criticisms | :02:34. | :02:42. | |
But I don't have time to read all of them. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
But it is quite important that we don't reply in the same | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
terms because I am not going to get in the gutter with anybody. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
Norman Smith is in central London where Jeremy Corbyn | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
He did this not that long ago, last summer? I know, and all the signs | :03:02. | :03:14. | |
are, that he won by a big landslide last time, he could be on course to | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
do so again, because overnight, we have had figures released of the | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
number of people who have signed up, paid ?25 to register to become a | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
Labour supporter, so they can vote in this contest. Now, in that | :03:28. | :03:35. | |
48-hour period, 180,000 -- 183,000 people have signed up. I mean a huge | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
number of people, and working assumption at Westminster is most of | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
them, yes, they will be Jeremy Corbyn supporters, because he has | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
got the sort of infrastructure in place, to kind of reach out and | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
motivate people, he has a long list of activist, he has got the | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
database, he has got the social media set up to really try and reach | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
out and get people to sign up, whereas, his opponents, they pretty | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
much have thrown their campaign together in the last, what, | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
fortnight or so, so the thinking is this 183,000 will be MrCorbyn's | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
supporters which means the contest has hardly begun but there is a | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
growing view, may not be over, but M Corbyn is absolutely in the driving | :04:23. | :04:25. | |
seat. Norman, for the moment thank you. | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
More from more than. We will hear MrCorbyn's launch of that campaign | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
Annita McVeigh is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
The President of Turkey has declared a three-month state | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
of emergency after last week's failed coup attempt. | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
The new powers allow President Erdogan and his Cabinet | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
to bypass parliament in passing new laws, and suspending rights. | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
In a televised address, he insisted the move was necessary | :04:50. | :04:51. | |
10,000 people have already been detained. | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
Let's cross to Istanbul and get the latest from our | :05:02. | :05:03. | |
Given the response that we have already seen from President Erdogan | :05:04. | :05:16. | |
since this failed coup attempt, how might the additional powers be | :05:17. | :05:18. | |
applied? That is a very good question. That is why there are so | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
many doubts over whether this will be done in a fair and just way, | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
because in the days leadings up until today, there have been as you | :05:27. | :05:30. | |
know widespread purges across the Civil Service, the military, the | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
police, judiciary and the education sector as well, round 60,000 people | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
either detained or dismissed. So there are fears that President | :05:39. | :05:43. | |
Erdogan, who has been widely criticised for increasing | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
authoritarianism will use the state of emergency to crackdown further. | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
The Government insists that is not the case, that the daily life of | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
citizens will not be affected by this state of emergency, that is | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
being targeted only at what it calls the virus inspecting the state. The | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
coup plot ever, followers of the alleged mastermind. But he has | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
enhanced power, he will able to enact laws and degrees without going | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
through Parliament. The constitutional court will not be | :06:11. | :06:13. | |
able to challenge them as they have in the past. There will be | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
restrictions on freedom of assembly and publications, so the big | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
question is, whether this be applied simply as a way of trying to calm | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
the situation and get to the coup plotters a he sees them or will this | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
be used to tighten his grip on power and that is being criticised by | :06:34. | :06:40. | |
Europe. But Mr Erdogan is being forthright responding to it, telling | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
the French Foreign Minister to mind his own business. | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
New guidance on Vitamin D says everyone should | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Public Health England says there's not enough sunlight between October | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
and March to guarantee natural production of the vitamin. | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
It's vital for the health of bones, muscles and teeth, as our medical | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
Sunny summer weather, perfect conditions for getting | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
vitamin D, which is made in the skin during exposure to sunlight. | :07:07. | :07:08. | |
The problem in Britain is that in autumn and winter, | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
what sun there is is not strong enough to produce enough vitamin D. | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
Public health officials say it is hard to get enough | :07:15. | :07:16. | |
from dietary sources like oily fish, red meat, | :07:17. | :07:18. | |
During the winter and autumn, people should rely on foods that | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
either contain or are fortified with vitamin D. | :07:23. | :07:24. | |
And if you're not eating enough, you should take a supplement. | :07:25. | :07:27. | |
This is the first time vitamind D supplements have been recommended | :07:28. | :07:29. | |
And it alters existing guidance which limited it to groups such | :07:30. | :07:42. | |
We get most of our vitamin D from exposure to sunlight. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
It's important because it helps protect our bones throughout life. | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
A lack of it can cause rickets in children and pain and muscle | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
Maybe having it through diet is a bit more of a natural way | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
I guess than to get it through supplements. | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
I eat things like fortified breakfast cereal to get extra | :07:59. | :08:47. | |
A lack of it can cause rickets in children and pain and muscle | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
Maybe having it through diet is a bit more of a natural way | :08:55. | :09:09. | |
I guess than to get it through supplements. | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
I eat things like fortified breakfast cereal to get extra | :09:14. | :09:37. | |
So I guess if there is vitamin D in that | :09:38. | :09:59. | |
The new guidance based on recommendations from | :10:00. | :10:18. | |
the government's Scientific Advisory Committee on Nutrition also says | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
that people who don't go outside much or who have dark skin should | :10:23. | :10:24. | |
consider taking vitamin D supplements all year round. | :10:25. | :10:34. | |
The Prime Minister will meet the French President, | :10:35. | :10:52. | |
Theresa May was in Germany yesterday, where she | :10:53. | :11:10. | |
discussed Britain's exit from the European Union, | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
this country. But trouble here has been the exception, not the rule. | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
Life goes on in this city. Even as old political certainties are washed | :11:21. | :11:21. | |
away. One of the UK's largest and most | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
advanced nuclear-powered attack submarines has collided with a cargo | :11:27. | :11:28. | |
ship during a training HMS Ambush was taking part | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
in a training exercise when The Royal Navy said the submarine | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
had sustained "some minor external damage" but no crew members had been | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
injured in the incident. Police are looking for two men | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
after a serviceman was threatened with a knife near one of Britain's | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
largest military bases. Extra patrols are now in place | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
at RAF Marham in Norfolk, and the county's police and crime | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
commissioner said an 'intensive' Marham is home to the front line | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
squadrons operating bombing raids on Islamic State targets | :11:56. | :12:06. | |

an increased police presence after an incident near | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
the base's married quarters. Just before 3:30pm yesterday | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
afternoon, a serviceman came The men threatened the victim | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
with a knife before making off in a dark coloured car | :12:18. | :12:25. | |
similar to a Ford Galaxy. They were not in uniform | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
at the time of this incident. Scotland Yard says its antiterrorism | :12:30. | :12:38. | |

throughout the morning - On OK Monday Go. HITE But trouble | :13:33. | :13:50. | |
here has been the exception, not the rule. Life goes on in this city. | :13:51. | :13:52. | |
Even as old political certainties are washed away. | :13:53. | :13:54. | |
On OK Monday Go. "I am a psychotherapist who wanders the | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
street catching pets." We will talk to addicts in the next half hour or | :13:59. | :14:06. | |

We will talk to addicts in the next half hour or so. On Sam Allardyce | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
Maria is not impressed. "He wasn't much good at West Ham. I wanted | :14:15. | :14:17. | |
Steve Bruce." He got West Ham back in the Premiership. | :14:18. | :14:19. | |
The sport, does it feel like a sensible decision to have Sam | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
Allardyce as England manager now? I think that is the thinking behind | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
it, he has been criticised over his style of play, but in reality he has | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
done very well, with what some would consider to be limited player, some | :14:33. | :14:35. | |
of the clubs he has managed we expect that news to come today, the | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
appointment of the Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce as the New England | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
manager, he will be the man who will be charged with turning round their | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
dismal record after they failed to get out of the group stage in the | :14:50. | :14:55. | |
World Cup and at Euro 2016. He spent much of his career defending his | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
style of football but who is the Mannone as big Sam? | :15:00. | :20:28. | |
I think also I want people to be aware that it's a place | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
which isn't terribly safe to visit in the first place. | :20:33. | :20:47. | |
And I suppose I'm also doing it because I want to | :20:48. | :20:55. | |
I feel that if I speak out, then that's something that can be | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
helpful for other women have been through this experience. | :21:00. | :21:01. | |
What happened to me was, I booked what was supposed | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
This was a treat to myself after a terrible year last year | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
I thought it would be an empowering thing to do, | :21:11. | :21:23. | |
to learn to sail, I like the idea of doing that with women. | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
And I had a friend who was joining me two days later. | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
And I was going to have two days on the island before I started | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
And I felt very confident that this was going to be a good course | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
because the company are endorsed by the Royal Yachting Association. | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
On the second night that I was there I went to bed | :21:45. | :21:46. | |
at midnight and I woke up at three o'clock in the morning | :21:47. | :21:54. | |
or thereabouts, I mean, obviously, when something like this happens | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
everything is a bit of a blur afterwards, and there | :21:58. | :21:59. | |
was a man pinning me down in my bed, and he raped me. | :22:00. | :22:02. | |
And I thought I was going to be murdered. | :22:03. | :22:04. | |
It's an astonishing thing, really, because we all know | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
that we are going to die, and it was just so shocking, | :22:09. | :22:10. | |
thinking, my goodness, this is how I'm going to die, | :22:11. | :22:12. | |
And I thought about my daughters, and I thought how terrible | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
their lives would be if this happened. | :22:24. | :22:25. | |
I'd only been on the island for 30 hours at the time, | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
and my neck was being compressed throughout and I was struggling | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
And the only reason that this stopped was because somebody | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
And when I heard the knock on the door I was paralysed, | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
still too afraid to make a noise and I can just remember thinking | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
desperately, please, please, carry on knocking at the door, | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
And the door opened and the man fled. | :23:00. | :23:02. | |
After that the police were called, I was taken by police | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
Obviously it's not like a British hospital, it's more basic but I did | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
I did everything I was supposed to do. | :23:09. | :23:15. | |
I submitted to a forensic examination. | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
And I was given medication to stop me from getting sexually | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
transmitted diseases and I was given prophylaxis against HIV. | :23:25. | :23:36. | |
Which I had to take for 28 days, and it was three | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
that I could finally get a definitive test, | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
to prove that I did not have HIV, but I wasn't HIV positive, | :23:45. | :23:47. | |
which, to my great relief, I wasn't. | :23:48. | :23:48. | |
How did the holiday company deal with what had happened to you, | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
It was, I would say that, the girls, and I would call them girls | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
because some of the staff were very young and had been in the Caribbean | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
for a very short time, came across as completely out | :24:05. | :24:06. | |
Unequipped to deal with a serious incident, | :24:07. | :24:13. | |
They were very kind, and I got lots of hugs, | :24:14. | :24:22. | |
and the manager took me to the hospital, and she stayed | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
with me at the hospital, but lots of things that should have | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
I want to bring in your solicitor, Vidisha, who is here too. | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
When Georgina came to me I was utterly horrified, | :24:32. | :24:40. | |
at not just what had happened in terms of her ordeal but how | :24:41. | :24:43. | |
It was clear to me that there was a case that merited | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
It's a difficult time so I act not only just as her legal | :24:48. | :24:59. | |
representative but as a support through a difficult | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
In cases like this we believe that there is a duty on the owner | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
of the property to ensure that any of their paying guests are safe | :25:10. | :25:10. | |
And why did you say, clearly you have explained what had | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
happened to you but why do you say that could have | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
been prevented and that that is the company's fault? | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
There was no CCTV, there was no security guard, | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
the doors were not self locking, I was not given a key for my bedroom | :25:31. | :25:33. | |
door and I was not aware that it was lockable. | :25:34. | :25:35. | |
It was presented as a bit like a shared house. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
It was pushed as somewhere that was particularly suitable | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
for lone female clients, less impersonal than a hotel, | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
friendlier, somewhere where you had an opportunity to meet other women | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
that you might be doing the course with, or had been doing other | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
In terms of the owners of the property, I said before, | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
they had a duty of care to anybody visiting their premises. | :25:58. | :26:06. | |
And what their duty is, is to identify any hazards or risks | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
and one of those risks is potential harm to guests. | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
And potential harm to guests in an area like St Lucia is things | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
The things that they have to consider are the location | :26:18. | :26:20. | |
of the property and the crime profile of the region. | :26:21. | :26:23. | |
And we are unaware, in this instance, whether any | :26:24. | :26:25. | |
is, in the company literature, there was not one single word | :26:26. | :26:35. | |
about risks to personal security on the island. | :26:36. | :26:37. | |
I looked on the Foreign and Commonwealth Office website. | :26:38. | :26:39. | |
There is plenty of information about safety on the boats and how | :26:40. | :26:53. | |
they ensure clients' safety on the boats, not a single word. | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
The website, at the time, it's since been changed and is much | :26:59. | :27:00. | |
more about sailing, much more serious, the website at the time, | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
most every page talks about knocking back the rum punch | :27:04. | :27:07. | |

I am absolutely delighted that finally they have acknowledged that | :27:25. | :28:00. | |
This story has been in the press since Sunday. | :28:01. | :28:05. | |

Previous refutations from the company have just said, | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
We asked the Royal Yachting Association for a response. | :28:12. | :28:15. | |

where Georgina was attacked was not an RYA establishment | :28:53. | :28:55. | |
and that they were not directly connected to their sailing company. | :28:56. | :29:02. | |

yesterday. I will be back with a look at Russian doping, just after | :31:51. | :31:51. | |
10.00, see you then. It's been four weeks | :31:52. | :31:56. | |
since the country went to the polls to decide whether or not we should | :31:57. | :32:04. | |
leave the European Union. And it's fair to say the weeks | :32:05. | :32:07. | |
since that Brexit vote have not been quiet - | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
in less than a month we've got What has the knock-on of that | :32:10. | :32:11. | |
decision been, and where are we up Here to recap for us | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
is our political guru Norman Smith. Hello again. | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
Thank you. We say what a week's a long time in politics, it feels like | :32:21. | :32:25. | |
a day is a lime time. It has been frenetic since that referendum vote. | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
So what has if anything changed? Let us look at some of the big issues. | :32:30. | :32:34. | |
Let us take the economy to start with. I mean, we are were told that | :32:35. | :32:39. | |
if swroeted for Brexit on Friday, it would be Black Friday, but it hasn't | :32:40. | :32:44. | |
really happened. The Bank of England yesterday said theres hadn't been | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
any Brexit slow down, the FTSE seems to have reached an all-time high and | :32:51. | :32:57. | |
even the pound which took a battering to start with has | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
recovered. Yesterday, you know, the job figure, well they were good | :33:01. | :33:04. | |
again and so there hasn't been that massive hit, indeed if you listen to | :33:05. | :33:06. | |
Tom Stephenson, the signs are at least on the job front, that things | :33:07. | :33:08. | |
are kind of OK. You might have expected businesses | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
to rein in their hiring and investment plans in the run-up | :33:12. | :33:13. | |
to Brexit, but these figures suggest What we now are looking | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
at is the data since Brexit, and we've got a little bit | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
of that starting to come through. The Bank of England | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
has agents all around the country, they speak | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
to businesses about their intentions | :33:30. | :33:30. | |
and the news there is not bad They expect some kind of slowdown | :33:31. | :33:32. | |
in hiring and investments not immediately and it's | :33:33. | :33:34. | |
going to happen slowly over So, the economy is kind of ticking | :33:35. | :33:48. | |
along, let us look at another of the really big issues, diplomacy, we | :33:49. | :33:53. | |
were told if we left the EU, well, Britain would be diminished, we | :33:54. | :33:57. | |
would have less clout in the world, there the signs are more mixed with | :33:58. | :34:01. | |
our new Foreign Secretary, Boris Johnson. He has had a pretty tough | :34:02. | :34:07. | |
time. Have a look at him, when he appeared with John Kerry, earlier in | :34:08. | :34:13. | |
week, a rough ride he got from some of the American journalists. | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
You've accused the current US president, Barack Obama, of | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
harbouring a part Kenyan's quote, "ancestral dislike for the British | :34:22. | :34:24. | |
While claiming, I think, untruthfully at the time that he did | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
not want a Churchill bust in the White House. | :34:29. | :34:29. | |
You've described a possible future US President, | :34:30. | :34:32. | |
Hillary Clinton, as somebody with quote, "dyed blonde hair and pouty | :34:33. | :34:34. | |
lips and a steely blue stare, like a sadistic nurse in a mental | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
You've also likened her to Lady Macbeth. | :34:39. | :34:42. | |
Do you take these comments back, or do you want to take | :34:43. | :34:45. | |
them with you into your new job as some sort of indicator | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
of the type of diplomacy you will practise? | :34:49. | :34:56. | |
I don't know whether Brexit is affecting the signal, one of the | :34:57. | :35:03. | |
other events that Boris Johnson went to where again very difficult time | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
for him as the French embassy where have a listen, gets booed. | :35:08. | :35:15. | |
So, on the diplomatic front it is all together been rockier, that is | :35:16. | :35:32. | |
why we saw Theresa May yesterday, she was in Berlin, with the German | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
Chancellor Angela Merkel, really going on a sort of reassurance job, | :35:38. | :35:43. | |
just trying to assure other international leaders that we | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
weren't stepping back from the world stage, that we were still going to | :35:47. | :35:52. | |
be engaged, so it has been a mixed picture really, on the diplomatic | :35:53. | :35:57. | |
front, although maybe a lot of the difficulties we face have been just | :35:58. | :36:01. | |
because of the personality of Boris Johnson. So let us look at one of | :36:02. | :36:06. | |
the other big issues in the whole referendum campaign, immigration of | :36:07. | :36:12. | |
course. Now, Mrs May still is saying she won't guarantee EU migrants who | :36:13. | :36:17. | |
are here the right to stay. She is going to hang on until she is | :36:18. | :36:21. | |
absolutely convinced that British citizens elsewhere in Europe are | :36:22. | :36:25. | |
also given the right to stay, and that after we heard from the head of | :36:26. | :36:30. | |
the NHS this week, saying, look, you have to offer that reassurance to | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
health workers from the lest of the EU, because they make up so much of | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
the NHS staff. There are signs though that maybe this new | :36:40. | :36:42. | |
Government might be cooler about clamping down on immigration. Have a | :36:43. | :36:48. | |
listen to the new Home Secretary, Amber Rudd when she was asked | :36:49. | :36:51. | |
whether the Government was sticking to this tens of thousands target, to | :36:52. | :36:53. | |
to this tens of thousands target, to get net migration down to. | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
What the Prime Minister has said is that we must bring migration down | :37:00. | :37:02. | |
to sustainable levels, so that is what will be | :37:03. | :37:06. | |
Does that target still exist, the tens of thousands? | :37:07. | :37:12. | |
I will stick to my comment which is about bringing it down | :37:13. | :37:14. | |
That has to be the most important thing for the country. | :37:15. | :37:16. | |
Now to be fair, Mrs May said she is still committed to that tens of | :37:17. | :37:23. | |
thousands target but she said it may take some time to get there. Lastly, | :37:24. | :37:28. | |
let us think about that other big issue, Brexit, when is it actually | :37:29. | :37:34. | |
going to happen? Well, here the signs are confusing, I have to say, | :37:35. | :37:39. | |
because Mrs May says she does not want to be rushed, and she doesn't | :37:40. | :37:46. | |
really want to do it this year. Her Foreign Secretary Philip happened | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
has suggested it might be six years before believe the European Union. | :37:51. | :37:53. | |
And the man who should know, the guy who is in charge of Brexit, David | :37:54. | :37:58. | |
Davis, well, he has been playing his cards very close to his chest. Just | :37:59. | :38:03. | |
Just have a listen when he was asked about it. | :38:04. | :38:10. | |
Do you have a moment to tell us what your priorities | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
Will you trigger Article 50 sometime soon all will you wait until the end | :38:13. | :38:19. | |
So, I guess the truth is it is very early day, it seems Brexit is like | :38:20. | :38:26. | |
running a marathon, the first mile, nothing much change, mile ten, it is | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
getting hard e mile 20 it is getting a lot hard e mile 25, we will really | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
know whether Brexit is going to make a big difference to our lives. | :38:36. | :38:45. | |
I want to read you this tweet. It is to do with the interview with | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
Georgina Mortimer. She was describing how she had been | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
assaulted on holiday in the Caribbean, a number of tweets saying | :38:53. | :38:58. | |
similar things to the Labour MP Wes Streeting. In awe of her strength, | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
hope her interview helps other victims. | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
A number of you getting in touch about the choice of Sam Allardyce. | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
Ben Wright is an England supporter, no matter who the manager is it | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
won't make us play any better but Sam Allardyce is the wrong choice. | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
More to come. Before that look at who James Corden's guest is for his | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
latest car pool karaoke. Only the First Lady of the US. | :39:24. | :39:41. | |
Did you know that Stevie Wonder is my favourite? | :39:42. | :40:03. | |
# Oh, baby | :40:04. | :40:11. | |
# I'm yours # I went and said goodbye # And now | :40:12. | :40:26. | |
# I'm yours # I went and said goodbye | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
# Here I am baby # Signed sealed delivered | :40:33. | :40:40. | |
# I'm yours. # Sam Allardyce will be named | :40:41. | :40:47. | |
as the new England manager with confirmation expected | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
from the FA later today. He replaces Roy Hodgson, | :40:51. | :40:56. | |
who quit in June after England's shock defeat to Iceland | :40:57. | :40:56. | |
in the last 16 of Euro 2016. Let's talk to Dean Holdsworth | :40:57. | :41:07. | |
who played under Sam Allardyce for 4 years at Bolton and Phil Brown | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
who is the Southend united manager, and who was Allardyce's | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
number 2 at Bolton Whatst he like as a manager? | :41:17. | :41:20. | |
Exceptional. Very hard, driven, fair, honest. And he was driven by | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
the performance levels of his players and he certainly knows how | :41:27. | :41:32. | |
to motivate, and organise, and he is a win e he wants to win. He is very | :41:33. | :41:39. | |
good at the moment. He, I remember interviewing him before he took over | :41:40. | :41:43. | |
at West Ham and said, look critics say you play the long ball game, he | :41:44. | :41:47. | |
hates that, doesn't he. Tell people who might not know how he worked | :41:48. | :41:54. | |
with players at Bolton, what he did with the flair players? It is a | :41:55. | :42:02. | |
stigma which sometimes is a bit unfair to that tag, it stayed with | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
him, it is shame, I was in that team with those players in that squad, | :42:08. | :42:14. | |
and Sam relishes the chance to work with better players, I do feel that | :42:15. | :42:17. | |
now he is working with the alead, which is fantastic for him. -- | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
elite. He will embrace that, under, when he was a manager, you have to | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
motivate players, to get the best out of them over a one or two-year | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
period, now, it is going to be interesting to see how he steps | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
forward, with the elite of the country, how they step forward with | :42:37. | :42:42. | |
his organisational skill, analytical skills, information he absorbs, he | :42:43. | :42:48. | |
is second to known. I am excite -- none. I am excited by the fact that | :42:49. | :42:55. | |
the FA have been, had the courage to appointment and I think -- appoint | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
him and I think it is an interesting period for England. Worth saying you | :43:00. | :43:02. | |
talked about the information he absorb, the date and so on, he was | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
embracing sports science and pro zone while at Bolton way before | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
Arsene Wenger and people like him had heard of it. Well, I think that | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
he, he looked at what he needed to improve, at a football club and | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
leave a legacy behind and Bolton and he did that. He got the best out of | :43:22. | :43:26. | |
player, he managed players for a certain number of game, he would | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
manage them during the week, how to get the best out of them. It is | :43:33. | :43:36. | |
different now, we have come back on the back' a very disappointing | :43:37. | :43:38. | |
tournament. Tournament football is about remaining unbeaten, not | :43:39. | :43:44. | |
getting beat, not conceding goals, I thought we were disappointing | :43:45. | :43:47. | |
tactically, both ends of the pitch in the summer, he will, he will look | :43:48. | :43:52. | |
that the and say what are we not good at? He find out what other | :43:53. | :43:55. | |
teams are not good at and works on the strengths of what he has in | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
front of them and the weaknesses of the opposition. OK. So it is an | :44:00. | :44:02. | |
interesting spell for him. I am pleased for him. Thank you very | :44:03. | :44:09. | |
much. Thank you for talking to us 6789 appreciate your time. | :44:10. | :44:10. | |
Thank you for talking to us 6789 appreciate your time. | :44:11. | :44:14. | |
One week after the Pokemon GO game was officially released in the UK, | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
the monster-catching craze has swept the nation. | :44:19. | :44:19. | |
In the augmented reality game, players travel around the real world | :44:20. | :44:21. | |
to capture and train creatures known as Pokemon - the most famous | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
The marriage between the classic 20-year-old franchise and augmented | :44:26. | :44:26. | |
reality is so popular that cities around the world are hosting | :44:27. | :44:29. | |
a number of themed events where players can come together. | :44:30. | :44:32. | |
But, as always with these things, its release has triggered warnings | :44:33. | :44:34. | |
from police, amid fears that it could be putting | :44:35. | :44:36. | |
the safety of gamers - including children - at risk. | :44:37. | :44:38. | |
Here's one of our snazzy films looking at the highlights | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
and lowlights of Pokemon GO around the globe in the last week. | :44:42. | :44:59. | |
# To catch them is my real test | :45:00. | :45:10. | |
# To train them is my cause | :45:11. | :45:14. | |
# I will travel across the land | :45:15. | :45:20. | |
Auschwitz Birkenau is not only a museum, it is above all | :45:21. | :45:28. | |
It is inconceivable we should treat it as a place for games. | :45:29. | :45:43. | |
# In a world we must defend | :45:44. | :45:58. | |
# Our courage will pull us through | :45:59. | :46:05. | |
# You teach me and I'll teach you | :46:06. | :46:07. | |
# Gotta catch 'em all | :46:08. | :46:11. | |
# Like no-one ever was | :46:12. | :46:21. | |
# To catch them is my real test | :46:22. | :46:23. | |
# To train them is my cause | :46:24. | :46:26. | |
There is a Vaporeon right there, | :46:27. | :46:32. | |
# To understnad the power that's inside | :46:33. | :46:39. | |
# Gotta catch 'em all | :46:40. | :46:41. | |
# I know it's my destiny. # | :46:42. | :46:44. | |
You do realise you're stopping someone with a life-and-death | :46:45. | :46:56. | |
19 year old Marko Pancic loves it so much | :46:57. | :47:12. | |
he got on a train at 6 o'clock this morning from Stourbridge to talk | :47:13. | :47:13. | |
about it and have the opportunity to play in London today. | :47:14. | :47:14. | |
Sophie is a student who has been a fan since she was a child. | :47:15. | :47:21. | |
hours a day, and Stefan Clarke is a high school chemistry teacher | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
That is not as good... Who is on level 22, is it you? Wow. We will | :47:25. | :47:34. | |
explain how it works in a second, but you say there two Pokemon in the | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
right now. We probably need to get a camera around here to see this. Can | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
I borrow your phone? I will start walking... Do you want to come with | :47:47. | :47:53. | |
me? Not that it's a big studio. Let's go this way. Follow it around | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
there. We are heading in virtual reality but also in the real world | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
of the studio. Mind the wire. We are going over here. Is it behind the | :48:04. | :48:13. | |
screen? Isn't that typical? If you touch on that rectangle you might be | :48:14. | :48:17. | |
able to engage with it. It doesn't like me. You might have to go this | :48:18. | :48:23. | |
way because the GPS signal has gone. Let's go this way. I will let the | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
camera zoom in as we go behind the screen. This is us here. See if you | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
can catch it there. There is one right there. We have caught it? No. | :48:34. | :48:53. | |
There you are. That is a Ratata. Should we not bother with the one | :48:54. | :48:56. | |
behind the screen? You can do that. Well done. OK, it's amazing, when we | :48:57. | :49:03. | |
tried it earlier there were no creatures in here. We will explain | :49:04. | :49:06. | |
for those who want to learn how it works. Go for it. It uses your | :49:07. | :49:13. | |
phone's GPS to track where you are in the real world, and you walk | :49:14. | :49:18. | |
around and you have a little avatar on your phone that follows where | :49:19. | :49:22. | |
you're going. And they pop up pretty much randomly and you tap them, | :49:23. | :49:35. | |
throw the Pokeball, and try to catch them all. I have been playing since | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
I was a kid. It is great that you can do it in the real world. For us | :49:40. | :49:44. | |
it is very much a childhood game, fantasy becoming reality, that is | :49:45. | :49:48. | |
why it is urge an addictive game and it is easy to slip into this fantasy | :49:49. | :49:55. | |
world. -- such an addictive game. How has it changed your life? I have | :49:56. | :50:00. | |
been a big Pokemon Farnborough long time as well, it is a nostalgia | :50:01. | :50:04. | |
trip, being able to play on your phone and it has changed so much | :50:05. | :50:09. | |
since the tiny Game Boy screen. You could interact with it. It took me | :50:10. | :50:17. | |
so long to get here from Victoria. There are so many Pokestops to | :50:18. | :50:26. | |
engage with. Why do you love it? I first started playing the original | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
Game Boy game, but before that I have the trading cards, the very | :50:31. | :50:35. | |
first set of Pokemon cards. I loved the creatures, and now I love it | :50:36. | :50:38. | |
because you can login and play the app anywhere. If you have downtime | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
on your way home from work, you can see what types of Pokemon are around | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
and it's very exciting. Is it exciting? I don't find it that | :50:48. | :50:53. | |
exciting, but maybe I'm too old? I've played it and it's all right. | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
There are rarer Pokemon so it gets very exciting. That is what we saw | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
in the film where they were rushing in Central Park to find the rare | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
one. What is the aim? To catch them all. All of them? 150. There is the | :51:08. | :51:16. | |
gyms as well. Explain that. There are different teams. There is red, | :51:17. | :51:23. | |
yellow and blue, basically. Buckingham Palace is a gym and I | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
think there is another one at Victoria station. That is owned by | :51:27. | :51:32. | |
one particular team. And people from other teams can go unchallenged and | :51:33. | :51:36. | |
eventually take control of the gym. That is not so much the endgame. -- | :51:37. | :51:44. | |
can go and challenge. It is a way to keep the game continuously going, | :51:45. | :51:47. | |
there is no game over insofar as you would expect of a classic game. Yes. | :51:48. | :51:54. | |
A number of people have made the point that it is getting teenagers | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
who would normally be sat in front of their PC, it is getting them out | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
and about. Sandra has said, I'm really happy because my son has an | :52:03. | :52:08. | |
eating disorder and he spends hours on his console at home. Since the | :52:09. | :52:14. | |
app has come out he has been walking for- five K per day which is getting | :52:15. | :52:17. | |
him exercising and meeting new people. You hear a lot of stories | :52:18. | :52:23. | |
like that, some of my close friends have suffered from anxiety and | :52:24. | :52:26. | |
depression and they are getting out of bed and moving around. They are | :52:27. | :52:31. | |
saying, do you want to go hunting together? It is a real sense of | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
community. It is growing stronger as more and more people get out and go. | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
I read out a tweet who said it was annoying, he says it keeps going | :52:41. | :52:47. | |
wrong. Yes, the game keeps crashing because it is new and so many people | :52:48. | :52:50. | |
are playing it and I don't think they expected that many people. | :52:51. | :52:54. | |
Sometimes it is impossible to login for hours on end. It is just a bit | :52:55. | :52:59. | |
frustrating. That is to do with its popularity? I think it is the | :53:00. | :53:07. | |
servers, and the popularity. Another tweet, I am a grandfather of two, I | :53:08. | :53:19. | |
can't put my phone down. Right, in terms of other apps and games that | :53:20. | :53:23. | |
are out there, why is this so much better? Is it just because it is | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
fresh and new? It's got Pokemon on it! I think a good percentage of it | :53:29. | :53:35. | |
is nostalgia. People that played as a kid can now continue playing as an | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
adult in a new way on a new platform. It is very familiar and | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
charming as well. I think the neat thing is that you are actually in | :53:45. | :53:56. | |
the environment, and it is actually adapted to your environment, in your | :53:57. | :54:00. | |
flat, on your street, that is really nice, you go around and interact in | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
the real world. That is really cool. Apart from what you were talking | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
about, any other downsides, or am I just being miserable? I attempted to | :54:10. | :54:16. | |
catch a real pigeon using my phone, I must have been playing too much! I | :54:17. | :54:21. | |
have two are just my sense of reality before I go to work. The | :54:22. | :54:26. | |
only downside is the amount of purchases, it can get quite | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
expensive to buy coins and you have certain perks, that is all I would | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
say, you have to spend money. You don't really have too spend money. | :54:36. | :54:39. | |
You can, but compared to other mobile games, it is not nearly as | :54:40. | :54:43. | |
bad for in game purchases. It is fair. They also give away those | :54:44. | :54:51. | |
objects free in the game. At the Pokestops, that you saw earlier. It | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
is possible to play for free. That is part of the attraction. Sophie | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
says, should anyone else bump into me while they are in Lala land | :55:03. | :55:08. | |
playing Pokemon, they will find their phone smashed to pieces. | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
Charming! What does it say about these people, get a life! It doesn't | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
mean you are not doing the rest of your stuff? That is the beauty of | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
the game, you can just play it on your walk to the station in the | :55:22. | :55:25. | |
morning, you can play it after work and as you go about your daily life, | :55:26. | :55:31. | |
it is just something that fills time in between spaces. Kyle says, the | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
amount of people heading to Broadcasting House in central London | :55:36. | :55:43. | |
having been told it is a Pokestop. If your name is not down, you're not | :55:44. | :55:49. | |
getting in! Roberts says that Pokemon Go has finally got his | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
autistic twins into the real world. I am one happy dad. That is | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
astonishing. I would love to meet your sons, actually. Thank you very | :55:58. | :56:03. | |
much, all of you. When is the craze, when is the novelty going to wear | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
off? We were chatting earlier that there is potential to keep adding | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
more Pokemon and more objects and items, so there is potential for it | :56:13. | :56:15. | |
to keep going. Whether a knot it will... When will the novelty wear | :56:16. | :56:24. | |
off? -- whether or not. It is still as strong as it was in the first | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
year in terms of the craze, so maybe it will die down in 20 years. OK, | :56:29. | :56:34. | |
thank you very much Marco, Sophie and Ritchie and Stephan. Coming up | :56:35. | :56:40. | |
in half an hour, Jeremy Corbyn launches his bid to remain Labour | :56:41. | :56:44. | |
leader, we will be in central London for his speech. Let's get the latest | :56:45. | :56:51. | |
weather of date with Sarah. Thanks, Victoria. Yesterday we had | :56:52. | :56:55. | |
thunderstorms, and a quieter scene for most places today, gorgeous | :56:56. | :56:58. | |
pictures from weather watchers including this one in Nottingham. | :56:59. | :57:03. | |
Plenty of blue skies and sunshine but a bit more cloud in | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
Hertfordshire earlier. A bit of a West- East split in terms of | :57:09. | :57:11. | |
sunshine, the East has the best of the sunshine at the moment whereas | :57:12. | :57:14. | |
further west there is more cloud rolling in from the Atlantic. That | :57:15. | :57:19. | |
cloud brings with it a few spots of rain, one or two showers in two | :57:20. | :57:24. | |
parts of Wales and England in the morning, but gradually pushing | :57:25. | :57:26. | |
further north and east in the afternoon. If we take a look at the | :57:27. | :57:32. | |
weather by four o'clock, much of Scotland will be fine and dry after | :57:33. | :57:35. | |
heavy downpours overnight with sunny spells this afternoon, one or two | :57:36. | :57:39. | |
showers in Northern Ireland and fresher temperatures. Typically 19 | :57:40. | :57:45. | |
or 20 degrees. Further south there will be cloud across much of Wales | :57:46. | :57:49. | |
which bridge uses a few showers and the chance of catching one or two | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
across parts of Cornwall, Devon and Dorset. Central and eastern parts | :57:54. | :58:00. | |
are still pretty hot, 26 degrees in the south-east again. Overnight | :58:01. | :58:07. | |
tonight not quite as muggy as recently. Pushing into Scotland and | :58:08. | :58:14. | |
northern England but quite sticky in the south-east with overnight | :58:15. | :58:15. | |
temperatures falling no lower than 18 degrees. Through the day tomorrow | :58:16. | :58:20. | |
another summery day for many parts of the country with some showery | :58:21. | :58:25. | |
rain on the weak front pushing across Scotland, northern England. | :58:26. | :58:28. | |
Across England and Wales, sunny spells but in the humid air we could | :58:29. | :58:32. | |
see one or two rumbles of thunder around. Temperatures again 26 | :58:33. | :58:38. | |
towards the south but 20 further north. Heading into the weekend we | :58:39. | :58:41. | |
will see whether France pushing in from the Atlantic but bumping into | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
high pressure that is squeezing in from the south-west, so Saturday | :58:46. | :58:49. | |
will have lots of settled weather, the best of the sunshine in the | :58:50. | :58:53. | |
south and east but further north west some rain in the frontal | :58:54. | :58:58. | |
system, 17 in Aberdeen to 27 towards the London area. Onto Sunday and we | :58:59. | :59:04. | |
hold the dry weather in southern and eastern areas but later run some | :59:05. | :59:08. | |
rain pushes into western parts of the country but in the brighter | :59:09. | :59:12. | |
spells 26 Celsius, certainly fresher the north-west. The heat and | :59:13. | :59:17. | |
humidity still with us for a while, things are turning fresher over the | :59:18. | :59:20. | |
next few days. There are more detail is on the website. | :59:21. | :59:27. | |

talk to party members and I hope that they will realise that this | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
point, when he has won twice, they really do have to come behind him. | :01:12. | :01:20. | |

misuse in England and Wales in the 12 months leading up to March. | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
The Office for National Statistics said the majority of frauds related | :02:24. | :02:25. | |

fraud have been included on the survey. | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
Here are some messages about Sam dice who the FA are expected to | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
confirm as England manager. "I am a Sunderland supporter and a proud | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
England supporters, England have a good man in Sam Allardyce." Rm as | :03:33. | :03:34. | |
England manager. "I am a Sunderland supporter and a proud England | :03:35. | :03:36. | |
supporters, England have a good man in Sam Allardyce." Paul says "This | :03:37. | :03:37. | |
has to be the worst choice for England manager. Sam has been | :03:38. | :03:38. | |
removed from manager's jobs." That is like every manager. Be the worst | :03:39. | :03:40. | |
choice for England manager. Sam has been removed from manager's jobs." | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
That is like every manager. Richard says "I don't think it matters who | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
is in charge, world class players are not there." S jobs." That is | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
like every manager. Richard says "I don't think it matters who is in | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
charge, world class players are not there." And Sam says "Big Sam says | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
he has done well managing mediocre teams. He should do well. " It is a | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
big job. He will the man charged with turning round their recent | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
dismal record after they failed to get out of the group at the 2014 | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
World Cup and that defeat to Iceland at Euro 2016. The decision must be | :04:09. | :04:10. | |
ratified by the FA board later today and he spent much of his career | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
defending his style of football. What has he done? He was born near | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
Dudley in the West Midlands, and he played for clubs like Bolton and | :04:17. | :04:18. | |
Coventry City, but he ended his career in Limerick where he became | :04:19. | :04:21. | |
player coach. He joined the coaching staff at Preston before managing | :04:22. | :04:26. | |
Blackpool and on to a struggling Notts County in 1997. Although they | :04:27. | :04:30. | |
went into Division Three they were promoted with 99 points the next | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
season. Well, the name of Sam Allardyce merged as he joined his | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
old club Bolton in 1999. He steered them into the Premier League at his | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
second attempt and spent eight years with the club helping guide them to | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
their first European campaign, in 2004. That led to his first | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
manager's interview for England. He reached the last two for the post, | :04:51. | :04:56. | |
but it was given to Steve McClaren. He joined Newcastle in 2007, he was | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
seen then as the man to bring stability to St James Park. He | :05:01. | :05:04. | |
called it a shock when their new owner sacked him after 24 matches to | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
appoint Kevin Keegan. Like Bolton Allardyce was praised for his | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
survival skills as he took Blackburn up to tenth in his first full | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
season. After their new owners dismissed him, he joined West Ham in | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
2011, in the Championship, but they went straight back into the Premier | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
League and top flight consolidation before he again paid the price for | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
his style of play. Sam joined his former club and relegation | :05:36. | :05:37. | |
threatened Sunderland in October last year, and only the champions | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
Leicester beat them after February this year as he kept them up. Here | :05:45. | :05:49. | |
he was at their friendly win at Hartlepool. For Allardyce it is the | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
dream job. He has the backing of a former England manager. He has been | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
in English football for a long time now, always doing very well. I know | :06:00. | :06:04. | |
he is very organised. He knows the job, he knows all the England | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
players and if the FA wants Englishman he is one of several good | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
names. It is not easy. Successful. What is success for England today? | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
Is it quarterfinal or semifinal or winning? I don't know. | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
Will Russian athletes be able to reinstate themselves for the Olympic | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
game, today they are appealing the ban handed to them. As you can see | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
as the court of tracing for sport we are waiting from a, for a statement | :06:35. | :06:40. | |
from them, that the appeal comes after the IAAF banned them after | :06:41. | :06:46. | |
they were found guilty for state sponsored doping. We will try and | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
here from our sports news correspondent later. We will have | :06:51. | :06:53. | |
more when that decision is made. That is all the sport for now. I | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
will be back later, I will see you then. | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
Online child abuse is a potential threat to every child in Britain, | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
according to one Labour MP, who's calling on the Government | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Sarah Champion is the Labour MP for Rotherham - a town where up | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
to 1,400 girls were raped, trafficked and groomed by gangs | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
of men predominatly of Pakistani heritage - | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
and she's debated the topic in Parliament. | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
She wants relationship education to be compulsory in schools, | :07:26. | :07:28. | |
so that young people will know how to recognise abuse. | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
It comes as figures out this morning suggest there were just over four | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
thousand online crimes involving children recorded | :07:35. | :07:35. | |
Sarah Champion, Labour MP for Rotherham is here. | :07:36. | :07:44. | |
Lorin Lafave's 14-year-old son Breck Bednar was groomed | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
and tragically killed by someone he met through online gaming. | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
She's here with her 14-year-old daughter Carly Lafave Bednar. | :07:50. | :07:55. | |
Thank you for coming on the programme. Sarah, let us begin with | :07:56. | :08:03. | |
these new figure, they have never been collated before, 4,000 online | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
crimes involving children. We should give health warnings about the | :08:10. | :08:14. | |
figures but I want your reaction. I am really pleased that the data has | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
been collected but to be honest that is the tip of the iceberg. Surveys | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
that the childrens charties have done show that one in four children | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
has had some form of online abuse, bullying and that is what they are | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
recognising, what we are seeing now is a completely different society to | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
the one that we grew up in, in that children 24/7 are being targeted, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
because of their smartphone, because of their iPads, because of being | :08:42. | :08:47. | |
online and gaming, and, as adult, parents, as professional, we don't | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
understand that. We didn't grow up in that. What we need the see also, | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
is that the tolerance that children have for this abuse, is being forced | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
to rise, so they are not reporting the crimes, they feel stupid if they | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
feel that someone is targeting them. They are not telling parents about | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
it. Or the flip, you know, thatry not aware that someone presenting to | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
them on line could be completely different to the character they are | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
portraying, so you know, I have had one of my constituent, her mum came | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
to me shrks eWes 12, she had been groomed online, she was 12. She | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
thought this was a 14-year-old boy, and, it wasn't a 14-year-old boy, | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
the other thing which I find really disturbing is when you look on | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
paedophile website, one in five of those images have been uploaded by a | :09:33. | :09:38. | |
child through sexting or through sharing information or by being | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
groop groomed, so I don't think that when you are eight, you understand | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
the longevity, the reality of what you are doing, and parents, they | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
simply don't understand, I mean, again I speak to police and I know | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
that we will talk about this, your child is there, playing on the iPad, | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
you think it is innocent, you have no idea who you are opening the door | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
to, literally no idea. You are opening that child up to the world. | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
All I say to parents is, use the same protections you would you do in | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
the real world as the virtual world. There is no way you let your child | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
chat to anybody, about absolutely anything suen viced. Of course. You | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
did recognise what was happening to your son. Yes. Because of police | :10:23. | :10:28. | |
failings they were not able to protect him. What would your message | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
be to parents about the potential for online grooming? I think it can | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
happen to any child. When we have our vulnerabilities, and predators | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
will find them in anyone. He was a well loved popular child who was | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
doing well in school. Had his life ahead of him. So if he could fall | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
for the lies and manipulation and control I believe any child can. He | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
had met the predator through friends of friends from school, so he | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
believed they were real friends and the predator had sort of you know, | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
turned himself into almost a comrade, he was mentoring the boys | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
and teaching them things and a predator can do anything to coerce a | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
child and they are very patient. Over time they will find way to get | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
through to a child somewhere. Carly, how have you changed the way | :11:21. | :11:27. | |
you operate online result of your family's tragic experience? Well, | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
after that I am more cautious, so when I see on social media friends | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
of friends, I am, I don't talk to them. Anything I haven't met in real | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
life. I know that they might not be who they say they are. That is a | :11:43. | :11:48. | |
really good bit of advice. If if you haven't met them in real life you | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
don't need to accept them as a friend, or engage in conversation. | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Is that fair enough? That is one of the most important messages if you | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
haven't met them in real life you don't know who they are. One of the | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
messages is we speak of is never meet someone you have met online in | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
a private place. Adults can fall prey to that so never go to a | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
private place on your own, always meet in a public place and get | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
permission from an adult. You men -- mentioned sashia, that is not just | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
about online child abuse, but also bullying online, which is a huge | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
problem for and that is people you have met and o ten -- potentially | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
think you are good friends with. One of the areas that surprised when I | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
started researching it, was how young LGBT people are Dublin RaW | :12:36. | :12:42. | |
rattly being tart deliberately being targeted because they know if you | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
are a 14-year-old exploring your sexuality you won't talk do your | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
parents or your teachers you go online to find out about it, the | :12:50. | :12:55. | |
abusers know that and they target them, and stone wall did research | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
and of the young people they spoke to, who are LGBT nine out of ten had | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
some form of abuse or bullying online. The suicide rate is 50% | :13:05. | :13:11. | |
higher than for any other children. This is something we really need to | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
take seriously. I want to ask you Carly, have you had any, you are at | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
secondary school now, in your first years of secondary school, have you | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
had lessons about relationship advice, you know, I don't just mean | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
relationships, you know what I mean and online advice, how to keep | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
yourself safe? Well definitely at my school, because they were so close | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
to what happened with my brother they took extra measures, but, at | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
other schools I don't think there is enough. That is something you want | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
to change, it is not just about E safety which my kids went through. | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
Not just about not giving your name and address out, there is more and | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
you want to see that introduced into schools. It is not only me that | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
believes it, four Select Committees believe we need proper relationship | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
education. What would be involved in that It is about resilience, so as | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
soon as you go into school I want children to be taught that respect | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
yourself and respect other, that no means no, if someone is trying to | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
get you to keep a secret you feel uncomfortable about you ought to be | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
able to sell someone about. About. I am talking about teaching five | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
yeefrds about sex, but when you child goes to Play School you teach | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
thech not to snatch toys or push someone over. Teaching no means no | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
would be a good lesson, I want the protect the children but I don't | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
want abusers to be created, and when I speak to people, so probation | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
worker, they say in almost every case there was a point when they | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
could have intervened and friended that person becoming an abuser, and | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
that is what we need to focus on, prevention, because once the crime | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
happened the devastation has happened. You gave the example of a | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
young girl who thought she was sending you know, naked images to a | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
14-year-old boy, so how do you stop that happening? Well, again, it is | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
about teaching children the consequences, teaching children that | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
not everybody is the person that they present themselves to be, | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
children now are sexting, this is the reality, and it is right they | :15:15. | :15:17. | |
are exploring their sexuality but what we need to give them is | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
parameters on that and consequences on that, and actually Esther rants | :15:23. | :15:26. | |
zen is looking to set up something where young people can text this is | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
is it OK and say, I have been asked do that is it OK? Should we do that? | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
They won't talk to adults about it. They need their peers to tell them | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
but they don't know either, so we are leaving them abandoned without | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
the protection they need. What do you think of that? Absolutely, we | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
teach sex-ed to children before they are having sex, we need to teach | :15:50. | :15:53. | |
them online safety before they are immersed online, I think, when we | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
grew up, when you had stranger danger and bullying it was during | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
the day while you were at school. Now it comes endo your home so a | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
child who is being bullied can't escape, they get it in their homes | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
as well. Education is the key, from being a governor in my past time, I | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
think we spent so many times working on policies and procedure, in a way | :16:17. | :16:20. | |
everyone is trying to reinvent the we'll and we need a policy to come | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
through, a base policy, because even when I speak at schools sometimes | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
the Governors don't come and hear what we are talking about and I feel | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
like it is most important them to understand these poll -- policies | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
are there to protect the children as well as Ofsted. I know they check | :16:36. | :16:42. | |
for internet safety programme but we need to make sure they are engaging. | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
Car lease aired, if you have online safety assemblies that are dull and | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
boring and not appealing and everyone sits there and goes, I | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
already know this, and they have to pretend like they know everything. | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
If it is not engaging no one will be interested. We like seeing a variety | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
of videos where we have had similar experiences, that is what we need. | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
It has to be disturbing, have a variety of things that could happen | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
to them online otherwise they don't believe it could really happen to | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
them. The government say that there is compulsory relationship education | :17:26. | :17:28. | |
in state schools, that obviously doesn't cover academies who are | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
independent of local authority control, you want this in every | :17:33. | :17:37. | |
primary school, secondary school. Absolutely. If you look at not just | :17:38. | :17:43. | |
online abuse but child abuse, it tends to happen that the grooming | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
and the abuse starts at a younger and younger age and the children | :17:50. | :17:53. | |
don't know that someone saying, I'm doing this because I love you is | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
actually abuse and it is only in later life that they recognise that. | :17:59. | :18:01. | |
Then the damage has been done. I want every child to know. The NHP -- | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
NSPCC does a really simple campaign, what is in your pants is private. | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
That is a really simple campaign. Without having proper guidance about | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
relationship, they go online and they find pawn. You cannot get | :18:18. | :18:32. | |
teachers to do all of this? That is great but two thirds of child abuse | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
happens within a family. Thank you very much. | :18:37. | :18:39. | |

there, that is where he said he was. Can we listen to some music? I | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
rarely get to listen to music in the car. | :19:58. | :20:07. | |

Missy Elliott and Michelle Obama and James Corden having a very good time | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
in the same car. News just in, to do with Russian athletes who have been | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
banned from competing in the Olympics. They took their case to | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
the Court of Arbitration for Sport which has dismissed their request to | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
overturn the ban, 68 Russian athletes wanted the ban overturned. | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
The Court of Arbitration for Sport has dismissed that request. Russian | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
track and field athlete will definitely not be taking part in the | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
Olympics next month. We are awaiting the decision on the rest of the | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
athletes from the IOC. A state of emergency has been | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
declared in Turkey after last week's It's nearly a week since a small | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
faction within the army there tried to seize power from the government, | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
and more than 250 Since then the response | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
of the country's president More than 50,000 people | :23:36. | :23:40. | |
in the country have been either suspended from work, | :23:41. | :23:47. | |
sacked or arrested - as he attempts to purge those | :23:48. | :23:49. | |
he thinks were involved. Authorities have also banned | :23:50. | :23:50. | |
all academics from 99 generals and admirals have been | :23:51. | :23:51. | |
charged in connection that's just under a third | :23:52. | :24:02. | |
of the country's top military brass. 21,000 teachers have | :24:03. | :24:08. | |
had their licences withdrawn so far. And 8,000 police officers have been | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
removed from office. They are all suspected of having | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
links to the alleged mastermind of the coup, | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
a Turkish religious leader, Fethullah Gulen, who is currently | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
exiled in the United States, This new state of emergency gives | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
the President more powers - Professor Gulnur Aybet | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
is a Professor of International Relations at | :24:34. | :24:46. | |
Bahchashahir University in Istanbul and Alev Scott is an author | :24:47. | :24:48. | |
and freelance journalist living Welcome, both of you. Professor, | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
what's going on? Well, we had a very serious attempt to take over the | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
government last Friday, a bloody coup. Things are beginning to settle | :25:03. | :25:07. | |
down and we are now beginning to see footage about how serious and how | :25:08. | :25:13. | |
close this group in the Army came to actually taking control of the | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
entire country. And we are seeing footage of the amount of carnage and | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
violence that went on that night. It is truly horrific. I was actually | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
stuck on the bridge myself without realising what was going on. It was | :25:28. | :25:34. | |
a very scary moment. What happened was yesterday there was a National | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
Security Council meeting and after that a Cabinet meeting. It was | :25:40. | :25:43. | |
expected that some measures would be announced but what we were getting | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
the day before from government officials was speculation that there | :25:48. | :25:50. | |
might not be a state of emergency as such, but measures to actually | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
eradicate what they called sources of instability in the country. Last | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
night the president came out afterwards and said there is a state | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
of emergency but it will be very different from previous ones we have | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
seen in the past. Not just under military law, but also under | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
democratic civilian governments. This is largely full legal measures. | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
It is not really a presence of policing on the streets. No, but it | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
is potentially about clamping down on freedom of gatherings, | :26:24. | :26:28. | |
potentially, about arresting more people? People are actually out on | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
the streets demonstrating against the coup and supporting the | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
government every night. How do you see this new state of emergency and | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
the continued arrest of thousands of people? Well, I think it is actually | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
quite worrying, just in the sheer scale of it. The government has | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
obviously presented reasons as to why such a dramatic purge is | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
necessary. The state of emergency, frankly, before the state of | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
emergency was declared it is true that people were coming out to | :27:04. | :27:07. | |
celebrate in the streets but previously protests have been | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
extremely difficult in Turkey, ever since the protests in 2013 three | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
years ago you have to have special permission to gather, even as a | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
peaceful protest on the streets in tax in square. It is quite surreal | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
to see tax in square being taken over by thousands of people who were | :27:27. | :27:32. | |
rightfully proud of having crushed a coup on Friday, but it is likely | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
hypocritical that these gatherings are a prior Lake no problem but | :27:38. | :27:40. | |
peaceful protests against the government Reavie is to this have | :27:41. | :27:48. | |
not been allowed. -- previous to this. 21,000 teachers and 15,000 | :27:49. | :27:54. | |
education officials, a real focus on people in education, do you believe | :27:55. | :27:58. | |
that they were all involved in the failed coup or supporting the failed | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
coup? Well, we know this much, there is currently a court case against | :28:04. | :28:12. | |
this movement in the Ankara prosecutor 's office. There has also | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
been evidence passed over to US officials for extradition. What we | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
know about this secretive organisation is that a professor can | :28:21. | :28:28. | |
give orders to an army officer. So you do believe all of these people | :28:29. | :28:36. | |
supported it? Not all of them may be at fault but a lot of them were | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
under suspicion and investigation. I'm sorry, it seems to have frozen. | :28:43. | :28:52. | |

Labour MPs who will never reconcile themselves to the results of last | :30:22. | :30:23. | |
summer's leadership election but I think other MPs will have to reflect | :30:24. | :30:29. | |
and talk to party members and I hope they will realise that when he has | :30:30. | :30:33. | |
won twice, they really do have to come behind him. | :30:34. | :30:39. | |

That's a summary of the latest news, join me for BBC Newsroom | :31:43. | :31:44. | |
Tall sport now. Good morning. In the last ten minutes or so, we have had | :31:45. | :31:51. | |
a decision from the court of on tracing from sport. They have | :31:52. | :31:55. | |
rejected the appeal of the 68 Russian track and field athletes who | :31:56. | :31:57. | |
were seeking to overturn their ban by the IAAF after the allegations of | :31:58. | :31:59. | |
state sponsored doping. Their appeal was heard on Tuesday, today it has | :32:00. | :32:02. | |
been rejected. It was probably expected. Disappointing for the | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
athletes concerned who claim they are clean, there really is no way of | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
proving up unless the specific conditions of having clean test | :32:09. | :32:10. | |
results that were Thomas Aikenen outside Russia were met. Lord Coe | :32:11. | :32:13. | |
has reacted s of having clean test results that were Thomas Aikenen | :32:14. | :32:17. | |
outside Russia were met. Lord Coe has reacted to the news, he said | :32:18. | :32:25. | |
"This is not a ka day for triumphant statements. I didn't come into the | :32:26. | :32:32. | |
sport to stop athletes from competing. It is our desire to | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
include not exclude." Let us hear what was said about rejected the it. | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
Athletes whose international federation was suspended by the IAAF | :32:39. | :32:41. | |
are ineligible for competition held under the IAAF rule, including the | :32:42. | :32:44. | |
Olympic Games, unless they satisfy specific criteria. As a consequence, | :32:45. | :32:49. | |
the Russian Olympic Committee is not entitled to nominate Russian track | :32:50. | :32:54. | |
and field athletes for the Olympic Games unless they fulfil the | :32:55. | :32:56. | |
specific criteria. Since the international Olympic Committee was | :32:57. | :33:02. | |
not a party to these arbitrations, we have no jurisdiction to decide | :33:03. | :33:06. | |
whether they are entitled to accept or refuse the nomination by the | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
Russian Olympic Committee of Russian track and field athletes to compete | :33:12. | :33:16. | |
at the Olympic Games, in Rio. The Kremlin have responded as well. | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
They have expressed deep regret over the decision, just to reiterate that | :33:22. | :33:28. | |
the Court of on tracing for sport have rejected the appeal for the | :33:29. | :33:34. | |
athletes trying to get themselves reintroduced to compete in the "owe | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
Olympics next month. -- Rio. Thank you. Sorry about that | :33:40. | :33:47. | |
The leader of the Labour Party - Jeremy Corbyn - is launching his | :33:48. | :33:53. | |
It follows a vote of no confidence in him by his own MPs, | :33:54. | :33:56. | |
and a challenge to his leadership by the MP Owen Smith. | :33:57. | :33:58. | |
Corbyn has refused to stand down, arguing he has the support | :33:59. | :34:00. | |
More than 180,000 people have signed up to have a vote in the contest | :34:01. | :34:07. | |
We can speak now to our political guru Norman Smith | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
We are waiting for him, Norman, tell us what we know about what he is | :34:11. | :34:27. | |
likely to say this morning? We are told his big theme is going to be | :34:28. | :34:31. | |
discrimination, tackling discrimination, prior marly in the | :34:32. | :34:35. | |
workplace, he says that women are still paid up to round 20% less than | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
men for doing the same sort of job, he will focus on the fact that many | :34:41. | :34:46. | |
of the lowest paid job, so say in the care sector, tend to be | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
dominated by female workers and what he is suggesting is that every | :34:51. | :34:54. | |
company in the land that employs less than 21 people should have to | :34:55. | :34:59. | |
carry out what are called pay equality audits, what that would | :35:00. | :35:02. | |
mean is the company would have to publish every year a list of the | :35:03. | :35:07. | |
jobs and how much people are paid and then their ethnicity, their | :35:08. | :35:11. | |
gender, whether they have a disability, so that it would be | :35:12. | :35:14. | |
quite clear whether women were getting paid less than men for the | :35:15. | :35:18. | |
same job and there would be transparency, now that is going to | :35:19. | :35:22. | |
be his big policy announcement today. In general terms though, I | :35:23. | :35:28. | |
have to say team Corbyn are pretty confident it seems to me that Jeremy | :35:29. | :35:32. | |
Corbyn is on course to win this contest, everyone though it has only | :35:33. | :35:37. | |
just started. We only had Owen Smith launching his campaign but Jeremy | :35:38. | :35:41. | |
Corbyn's people feel they are in the driving seat, because as you say, we | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
have had this phenomenal number of people signing up in that 48-hour | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
window, to become registered supporters. 183,000 people in just | :35:51. | :35:57. | |
48-hours, now that is almost I think almost double accuse Chief | :35:58. | :36:00. | |
Constablely the number who signed up in the last leadership contest when | :36:01. | :36:06. | |
he only had to pay ?3. This time you have to pay 25. Roughly double have | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
signed up. MrCorbyn's people are confident that the vast majority of | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
those are his supporter, so if he can bank those votes, then, he has | :36:17. | :36:21. | |
already got a pretty commanding position in this contest. And when, | :36:22. | :36:26. | |
our audience are seeing pictures of the inside the building, that you | :36:27. | :36:31. | |
are standing outside as we await for Mr Corbyn, these things usually | :36:32. | :36:37. | |
start late, but the ideas about injustice, are they the sort of | :36:38. | :36:44. | |
thing, MCorbyn thinks will appeal to the wired electorate to those voters | :36:45. | :36:48. | |
in Scotland, -- wider. Those in the north of England that Labour have | :36:49. | :36:53. | |
lost? Well what we will get today, is you may remember William | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
Beverige, the man crediting with founding the welfare state after the | :37:00. | :37:04. | |
Second World War, he came up with what he called five social ills, | :37:05. | :37:09. | |
which he thought the welfare state was designed to tackle. Jeremy | :37:10. | :37:12. | |
Corbyn is trying to put a modern spin on that, he has come up with | :37:13. | :37:16. | |
his own list of social ills which he says the country now faces. Let me | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
run you through them. Inequality, neglect. Insecurity, prejudice and | :37:21. | :37:25. | |
discrimination which is the one he is going to address today. The other | :37:26. | :37:32. | |
issues he is going to address in subsequent speech, those are what he | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
says are the challenges facing modern Britain. Here is the thing, I | :37:38. | :37:43. | |
kind of thing this is a contest which is not probably going to be | :37:44. | :37:46. | |
decided by individual policies, whether it be on you know, tackling | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
discrimination or nationalising the rail ways or whatever, this is a | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
contest by and large about one thing, and that one thing is Jeremy | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
Corbyn. It is whether you are for him, or whether you are against him. | :38:02. | :38:04. | |
People are probably not going to decide which way to vote because | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
they think Owen Smith has a better stance on tackling inequality than | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
Jeremy Corbyn has got. It is a very very, almost gladiatorial battle | :38:15. | :38:16. | |
between Jeremy Corbyn and Owen Smith, and it is simply a case of do | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
you want MrCorbyn to carry on as leader? That seems to be what it | :38:22. | :38:26. | |
boils down to. He is walking into the room. She going to be introduced | :38:27. | :38:32. | |
by someone else. We talked to Owen Smith yesterday, he was clear, he | :38:33. | :38:38. | |
said, but perhaps he would, if Mr Corbyn carries on as leader the | :38:39. | :38:42. | |
Labour Party will split. That surprised a lot of his supporter, I | :38:43. | :38:46. | |
was talking to some after and they were saying did he really they? It | :38:47. | :38:52. | |
is kind of apocalyptic scenario, I have talked to sort of loads of | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
Labour MPs saying what happens if Jeremy Corbyn win, will you go and | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
set up another party? And they all say no, and the reason they say no, | :39:01. | :39:07. | |
is because there is such a sort of brand loyalty to the Labour Party. | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
They don't want to go off and start the social democratic party mark | :39:13. | :39:16. | |
two, you are starting from scratch, and that is an enormous mountain to | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
climb. There is a residual loyalty to the Labour Party, so Owen Smith's | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
idea there is go to be a split. I have to say it was poo-pooed by | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
everyone I spoke to about it. I don't think that is going to happen, | :39:31. | :39:35. | |
but there is a serious question mark if he does win, as most people I | :39:36. | :39:40. | |
think believe he will do, then what do all these Labour MPs do? Do they | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
go back and join him on the front bench or do they just sit there, | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
wondering what to do next? Yes. Really interesting, thank you | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
Norman. Let us take our audience inside that building then, where | :39:54. | :39:55. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is just being introduced. Ahead of the launch of | :39:56. | :40:00. | |
his second Labour leadership campaign. | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
Over the next couple of months Jeremy's campaign will set out how | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
Labour will defeat the Tories. Which is very very important, that this | :40:11. | :40:18. | |
campaign focuses on that. Jeremy stands for fairness, equality, and | :40:19. | :40:21. | |
more importantly, Jeremy's campaign will be about bringing people | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
together. And I am very proud to be part of that. So, without any | :40:27. | :40:33. | |
further ado, I am going to invite the leader of the Labour Party, | :40:34. | :40:35. | |
Jeremy Corbyn, to come to speak to you. | :40:36. | :40:36. | |
APPLAUSE Good morning everybody. Thank you so | :40:37. | :40:52. | |
much for coming along this morning at relatively short I know tips here | :40:53. | :40:57. | |
at the Institute of Education, want to share a few thoughts with you | :40:58. | :41:01. | |
this morning about this leadership campaign, and about what we have | :41:02. | :41:07. | |
achieved over the last ten months. Labour is stronger, we have won | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
every Parliamentary by-election we faced, three of them with very | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
significantly increased majorities. We overtook the Tories in the May | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
election, we won all four of the mayoral contest, in Liverpool, and | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
Salford, in London for the first time since 2004, and in Bristol, for | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
the first time ever. We also won Bristol City Council for the first | :41:32. | :41:39. | |
time since 2003. Labour Party membership has gone from below | :41:40. | :41:44. | |
200,000, a year ago, to more than 500,000 today. And as Kate | :41:45. | :41:52. | |
explained, 183,000 supporters have registered in order to be part of | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
this leadership debate. We have welcomed back the fire brigade union | :41:57. | :42:01. | |
into our Labour family. This is a big party. Big party, because people | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
have joined, a big party because a a lot of people are very interested in | :42:07. | :42:11. | |
how Labour is going to present itself for the future, and what | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
hopes they can offer to people who have been passed by in our society. | :42:16. | :42:20. | |
And we have delivered some very concrete results for millions of | :42:21. | :42:24. | |
people, by our opposition in Parliament. To this Government's | :42:25. | :42:32. | |
callous welfare policies. 3 million families are over ?1,000 better off | :42:33. | :42:38. | |
this year, because Labour stood up and opposed cuts to tax credits. | :42:39. | :42:44. | |
That was Labour making a real difference for those at the sharp | :42:45. | :42:49. | |
end. Mobilising our supporters and those losing out. Lobbying | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
Parliament and challenging the Prime Minister week after week in the | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
Commons, and winning votes in the Lords, and defeating the Government | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
overall in Parliament. We won back billions of pounds from work for | :43:04. | :43:07. | |
working class families, improving the lives of people and their | :43:08. | :43:10. | |
families which is what the Labour Party was created to do. | :43:11. | :43:17. | |
Just over a year ago, there were those in our party in Parliament who | :43:18. | :43:22. | |
were unsure about whether to oppose the Welfare Reform Bill. That was | :43:23. | :43:29. | |
going to take 12 billion pounds from the DWP budget. Cash support for the | :43:30. | :43:35. | |
less well-off low paid workers and the disabled. | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
Today, we are very clear, we are proud to defend the tax credits | :43:41. | :43:46. | |
built up by Gordon Brown and proud to defend our greatest creation, | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
Social Security for all. And we did it again, with personal independence | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
payments for those with disabilities in the budget. We shamed the | :43:56. | :43:58. | |
Government into abandoning their plans to take ?4 billion from | :43:59. | :44:05. | |
disabled people, that helps them to live independent lives, live in | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
dignity and decency within our society. That wasn't always the | :44:10. | :44:14. | |
case, it was Labour that brought in the Disability Discrimination Act | :44:15. | :44:18. | |
and so much more. At a time when the Government has been giving yet more | :44:19. | :44:23. | |
tax cuts to big business and the wealthiest. We have helped change | :44:24. | :44:29. | |
the debate on welfare. No front bench politician is using | :44:30. | :44:34. | |
disgraceful divisive terms like scrounger, shirker or skiver. They | :44:35. | :44:39. | |
have been shamed by the reality of life, for millions of our people in, | :44:40. | :44:47. | |
left behind Britain. That is laying the ground for a kinder gent her | :44:48. | :44:50. | |
politics, that respects those unable to work, that treats disabled people | :44:51. | :44:53. | |
with dignity. There is no better advocate for | :44:54. | :45:02. | |
disabled people and those in need than our current Shadow Work and | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
Pensions Secretary Debbie Abrahams and I thank her for her fantastic | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
work that she is doing and will continue to do. I also want to pay | :45:14. | :45:15. | |
tribute to the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell. Someone said that he | :45:16. | :45:21. | |
does the honest and straight talking politics but the kinder and gentler | :45:22. | :45:24. | |
stuff is still a work in progress. But what John has done, more | :45:25. | :45:28. | |
effectively than any other politician is to demolish the case | :45:29. | :45:34. | |
or austerities. He says austerities of political choice and not an | :45:35. | :45:41. | |
economic necessity. -- austerity is a political choice. Every step of | :45:42. | :45:45. | |
the failed political programme of George Osborne is being torn up, | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
Labour was too cautious to criticise cuts but now I'm hard pressed to | :45:51. | :45:54. | |
find even a Tory to defend it. As one fiscal target after another has | :45:55. | :46:00. | |
been ditched, first by Osborne and now by Theresa May, the long-term | :46:01. | :46:02. | |
economic plan is dead. APPLAUSE Most people now believe that the | :46:03. | :46:15. | |
government cuts are both unfair and bad for our economy. In post-Brexit | :46:16. | :46:21. | |
Britain, even Tories like Stephen Crabb and side Javid are converts, | :46:22. | :46:29. | |
making the case for tens of billions in investment. -- Sajid Javid. It is | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
the Labour Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell who led the way and | :46:34. | :46:36. | |
earlier this week made the case bred National investment bank and a | :46:37. | :46:40. | |
network of regional banks to redistribute wealth and power. As | :46:41. | :46:44. | |
John said in Sunderland on Monday, we should now work to build a | :46:45. | :46:49. | |
transformed economy where no one is left behind. I came into politics to | :46:50. | :46:59. | |
stand up against injustice. The injustices that scar our society are | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
not those of 1945, the watchword is then were want, squalor, idleness, | :47:05. | :47:11. | |
disease. They have changed. That has changed since I entered Parliament | :47:12. | :47:15. | |
in 1983. Today what is holding people back above all our | :47:16. | :47:20. | |
inequality, neglect, insecurity, prejudice and discrimination. In our | :47:21. | :47:27. | |
campaign I want to confront all five of these ills head-on, setting out | :47:28. | :47:32. | |
not only how Labour will campaign against these injustices in | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
opposition but also spelling out some of the measures that the next | :47:38. | :47:40. | |
Labour government will take to overcome them and move decisively | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
towards a society in which opportunity and prosperity are truly | :47:44. | :47:49. | |
shared. In which no individual is held back and no community left | :47:50. | :47:55. | |
behind. Today I want to set out one way in which the next Labour | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
government will tackle one of these ills, that of discrimination. My | :47:59. | :48:05. | |
first job in the trade unions was with the National union of tailors | :48:06. | :48:11. | |
and Garment workers. Now part of the GMC. Trying to reclaim unpaid wages | :48:12. | :48:17. | |
bought unpaid women workers in the clothing industry. Companies that | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
conveniently went bust owing work is a lot of money and then reopened | :48:22. | :48:24. | |
under a marginally different name a few days later with apparently no | :48:25. | :48:30. | |
debts and no obligation to anybody. Disgusting and disgraceful behaviour | :48:31. | :48:35. | |
by unscrupulous employers. A few years before I started that role, | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
the Labour government of Willesden passed the equal pay act, inspired | :48:42. | :48:48. | |
by the late great Barbara Castle. Following an inspirational strike by | :48:49. | :48:53. | |
women sewing machinists in Dagenham, a struggle immortalised in the | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
excellent film Made in Dagenham. Those workers stood up for equal pay | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
and after three weeks on strike they won a pay rise. Their strike not | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
only educated the workforce in Dagenham, it helped to educate the | :49:10. | :49:11. | |
trade union movement and the wider society. And it was a real pleasure | :49:12. | :49:18. | |
to invite some of the women to come and address my Shadow Cabinet on | :49:19. | :49:21. | |
International Women's Day in March this year to help the education | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
process. What is less well-known that another strike took lace 16 | :49:26. | :49:31. | |
years later in 1984. And for six weeks this time, for equal pay to | :49:32. | :49:37. | |
actually be achieved. We all know that change can take time and | :49:38. | :49:40. | |
sometimes delays cannot and will not be tolerated. Today, we are more | :49:41. | :49:47. | |
than 45 years on from the equal pay act, 40 years on from when I was | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
chasing down lost pay and still win are paid 20% less than men. As far | :49:53. | :50:01. | |
back as 1951, the equal remuneration convention of the International | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
Labour organisation, a UN body, supported the principle of equal pay | :50:06. | :50:08. | |
for men and women workers for work of equal value. 65 years on, and | :50:09. | :50:15. | |
women are overrepresented in the lowest paying sectors, cleaning, | :50:16. | :50:20. | |
catering and caring. Vital sectors to the economy, doing valuable work. | :50:21. | :50:26. | |
But not work that is fairly rewarded or equally respected. We know, too, | :50:27. | :50:30. | |
that many disabled workers are not being given the same opportunities | :50:31. | :50:36. | |
to fulfil their potential. Last year Britain was ranked 18th in the world | :50:37. | :50:42. | |
for its gender pay gap, below Nicaraguan, Namibia, and New | :50:43. | :50:49. | |
Zealand. We can and we must do far better. Labour is calling time on | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
the waiting game and I'm making the commitment today that the next | :50:54. | :50:57. | |
Labour government will require all employers to publish a quality pay | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
audits, detailing pay, grade and hours of every job alongside data on | :51:04. | :51:06. | |
recognised the quality characteristics. It is not winning | :51:07. | :51:11. | |
alone who face discrimination in the workplace but disabled workers, the | :51:12. | :51:14. | |
youngest and oldest, black and ethnic minority workers. Young | :51:15. | :51:19. | |
workers are institutionally discriminated against, not entitled | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
to the full minimum wage, not entitled to equal rates of housing | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
benefit, and many are now saddled with huge student debts. Often of | :51:27. | :51:34. | |
?50,000 or more. I want to pay tribute to our trade unions. They | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
have won millions of pounds in equal pay claims for workers. They won | :51:40. | :51:47. | |
them back pay and also won them dignity and equality, but not every | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
workplace is unionised and they're often complex cases that can take | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
years. We are calling time on discrimination. As we know from the | :51:56. | :52:01. | |
minimum wage, profit enforcement -- proper enforcement matters and makes | :52:02. | :52:06. | |
a difference. We are also committing to fund the equalities and human | :52:07. | :52:09. | |
rights commission, funded properly to deal with all aspects of | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
inequality, injustice and discrimination in society. To | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
monitor employers Park Street -- to monitor employers' pay audits, | :52:21. | :52:25. | |
eradicate discrimination and find employers that do not support that. | :52:26. | :52:30. | |
Many employers would not discriminate, it holds back | :52:31. | :52:33. | |
companies and indeed the whole economy. If our economy is to thrive | :52:34. | :52:38. | |
it has give harness the talents of everyone, so that is about making | :52:39. | :52:43. | |
the economy stronger, the workplace fairer, and reducing discrimination | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
that hold people back. Our Labour movement is about improving people's | :52:48. | :52:54. | |
lives, about ailing injustices and giving power to the powerless and | :52:55. | :52:57. | |
building a society in which opportunity and wealth is shared. | :52:58. | :53:01. | |
Over the next couple of months, we will be setting out new policies | :53:02. | :53:08. | |
which will take on different aspects of society, human rights, | :53:09. | :53:11. | |
environment, transport, housing, many other issues. Because our | :53:12. | :53:18. | |
campaign will set out how we plan to defeat the Tories, and elect a | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
Labour government that will act to tame the forces holding people back | :53:24. | :53:28. | |
of inequality, neglect, insecurity, prejudice, and discrimination. And | :53:29. | :53:35. | |
to build a society in which no one and no community is left behind. | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
Because the problems facing this country at the moment our | :53:40. | :53:46. | |
inequality, they are in justice, whole communities where industries | :53:47. | :53:48. | |
have closed and haven't been replaced and infrastructure in | :53:49. | :53:55. | |
investment hasn't taken place, it cannot be right that some parts of | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
Britain earn more than others, it cannot be right that this degree of | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
inequality goes on. That is the mission we are going to put forward | :54:04. | :54:09. | |
in this leadership campaign, and that is the campaign we are going to | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
put forward to set out how we, the Labour Party, will be stronger, even | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
stronger, and hopefully even bigger at the end of the campaign, and that | :54:19. | :54:22. | |
we will defeat the Tories at the next general election. We will build | :54:23. | :54:27. | |
that society, that is our pledge, that is our promise, and that is | :54:28. | :54:31. | |
what is so exciting about this leadership campaign. Thank you very | :54:32. | :54:33. | |
much. APPLAUSE . | :54:34. | :54:50. | |
Thank you. I want to take some questions, from BBC News, Jason | :54:51. | :55:06. | |
Farrell. Times so hard that Sky have do share microphones! Have a whip | :55:07. | :55:12. | |
round. The big party you are talking about at the beginning, you have | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
this new membership, last time round and the same this time, the vetting | :55:16. | :55:25. | |
process of people who have joined, do you feel that people from other | :55:26. | :55:29. | |
parties should be allowed to join the Labour Party? How do you feel | :55:30. | :55:36. | |
about the vetting process? And secondly, in the interest of | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
transparency and equality, will you be publishing the pay grades of your | :55:41. | :55:46. | |
own office? The membership issue is that anyone who signs up to support | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
the Labour Party must support the aims and values and principles of | :55:51. | :55:52. | |
the Labour Party, that is absolutely clear. They should not be members of | :55:53. | :55:58. | |
all campaigning for any other party, that is absolutely clear. That is | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
what the process is for. I think the process will be fairly carried out | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
and we will welcome to people to the fold to have come from all the other | :56:08. | :56:14. | |
organisations, and that is what growing politics is about and of | :56:15. | :56:19. | |
course the equal pay audit will be carried out for all of us. ITV news. | :56:20. | :56:31. | |
Do you have your own microphone? I love the way the private sector | :56:32. | :56:34. | |
organisations cooperate together, are you cooperating with the BBC? | :56:35. | :56:42. | |
INAUDIBLE You have come up with an interesting | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
policy idea today. The problem is, the leadership campaign is sparked | :56:47. | :56:53. | |
not by policy differences among MPs but your own MPs who do not think | :56:54. | :56:57. | |
that you are to the job. If you win, does that matter, that your MPs | :56:58. | :57:04. | |
don't support you? Luck, when we won the leadership election last year we | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
set out a series of policy changes. We have done our best to carry those | :57:09. | :57:13. | |
out, crucially the economic policy objective that John McDonnell has | :57:14. | :57:17. | |
been leading on, and pretty well everyone will concede that because | :57:18. | :57:20. | |
of the work of John and our team the whole economic debate in Britain has | :57:21. | :57:25. | |
fundamentally changed and we have changed politics in Britain. Don't | :57:26. | :57:28. | |
worry, I'm not avoiding your question if you let me answer. | :57:29. | :57:36. | |
That's a deal, OK? I tried to appoint a broad Shadow Cabinet last | :57:37. | :57:39. | |
September and I think everyone would concede that I did. I made some | :57:40. | :57:48. | |
changes three months later, and then straight after the European Union | :57:49. | :57:52. | |
referendum, a number of colleagues unfortunately decided to resign from | :57:53. | :57:57. | |
the Shadow Cabinet. I had to appoint a lot of new members to the Shadow | :57:58. | :58:01. | |
Cabinet. I want to thank those members that were appointed, some of | :58:02. | :58:04. | |
whom had only been in Parliament for a year, and as an inveterate | :58:05. | :58:10. | |
political watch I'm sure you would accept they have stepped up to the | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
plate and done a fantastic job. I say to Labour MPs simply this, I've | :58:15. | :58:18. | |
been in Parliament from long time and seen lots of leaders come and | :58:19. | :58:22. | |
go. There is a huge amount of talent on the Labour benches, we are part | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
of but not the entirety of the Labour Party and the Labour | :58:27. | :58:31. | |
movement. And I hope that those who may not agree with me politically, | :58:32. | :58:35. | |
may not even like me personally, I find that hard to believe but some | :58:36. | :58:40. | |
people apparently don't like me! I hold out the hand of friendship to | :58:41. | :58:46. | |
them all, because come September, when this election is done and | :58:47. | :58:49. | |
dusted, there will still be | :58:50. | :58:50. |
