It's 9 o'clock, I'm Joanna Gosling, welcome to the programme. | :00:07. | :00:13. | |
Donald Trump has accepted the nomination to run for President | :00:14. | :00:15. | |
In his speech, he promised to stop immigration | :00:16. | :00:23. | |
from anywhere in the world where there was terrorism. | :00:24. | :00:25. | |
The billionaire once again said he would build a great | :00:26. | :00:27. | |
border wall to stop gangs, immigrants and drugs | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
And we will make America a great again. God bless you and good night. | :00:30. | :00:44. | |
I love you. Mps are warning that new measures | :00:45. | :01:02. | |
to combat extremism could be driving a wedge between communities | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
and could be making Yet more advice on how much | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
alcohol is safe for us, it seems every day there | :01:07. | :01:14. | |
is a new report telling us how much We will talk to the author | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
of a new study who says drinking alcohol can cause seven different | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
types of cancer. Welcome to the programme, | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
we're live until 11 this morning. It seems we get | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
new advice all the time. Today, yet another report says | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
if we want to reduce the chances of getting cancer then there is no | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
safe level of drinking. Do get in touch on that | :01:35. | :01:36. | |
and all the stories we're talking about this morning - | :01:37. | :01:41. | |
use the hashtag Victorialive and if you text, | :01:42. | :01:44. | |
you will be charged the Republican nomination | :01:45. | :01:45. | |
for the White House. He told the party's convention | :01:46. | :01:53. | |
in Cleveland, Ohio that he'd put a stop to crime and violence, | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
and that America couldn't afford to be so politically | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
correct any more. He also accused President Obama | :01:59. | :02:00. | |
of dividing America along Our North America Correspondent | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
Laura Bicker reports. Amid the building excitement | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
and the Republican show of bling, after a week of drama on this stage, | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
the chosen champion arrives. Few would have believed a year ago | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
that it would be the billionaire But can he unify a fractured party, | :02:20. | :02:26. | |
and can he appeal to voters who feel Friends, delegates and fellow | :02:27. | :02:38. | |
Americans, I humbly and gratefully accept your nomination | :02:39. | :02:45. | |
for the presidency The often pantomime politics | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
of Donald Trump were replaced by a man determined to show | :02:50. | :03:07. | |
he could be presidential. He kept to a theme of Americanism, | :03:08. | :03:09. | |
not globalism, controlling borders, dealing with crime and building that | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
wall with How Mexico. We are going to build a great border | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
and to stop the drugs from pouring And so, his official | :03:25. | :03:27. | |
campaign begins. And we will make | :03:28. | :03:38. | |
America great again. This has been one of the most | :03:39. | :03:47. | |
controversial Republican conventions in decades, | :03:48. | :03:55. | |
but Donald Trump courts it, After achieving what many | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
thought was impossible, he has now made a strong and defiant | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
start in his bid to be let's catch up with the rest of the | :04:05. | :04:25. | |
day's news. Breaking news in the last few minutes. Police have | :04:26. | :04:30. | |
confirmed that the body of an 11-year-old boy has been recovered | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
from a canal in Rotherham. That is all we have on the story at the | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
moment but we will bring you more information as we get it. A damning | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
report by MPs has accused Sports Direct of failing to treat its | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
employees as human beings. The Business, Innovation and Skills | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
committee said working practices in the company where houses and shops | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
were closer to a Victorian workouts than a high-street retailer. The | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
committee also said the company boss, Mike Ashley, should be held | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
accountable for what it described as appalling working conditions at the | :05:01. | :05:01. | |
firm. The Business, Innovation | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
and Skills Committee launched an investigation into Sports Direct | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
shops and its huge warehouse after complaints by whistleblowers, | :05:08. | :05:10. | |
journalists and trade unions. It discovered what it calls | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
"a disturbing picture of the working practices and the business | :05:15. | :05:18. | |
model" at Sports Direct. It includes workers who had been | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
paid below the national minimum wage, staff being penalised | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
for taking a short break to drink water and for taking time off work | :05:25. | :05:27. | |
when ill and for repeated ambulance calls to the warehouse, | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
including in one case for a woman We found the culture and practices | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
for employees absolutely More akin to a Victorian workhouse | :05:34. | :05:42. | |
than to what we would see Mike Ashley was also | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
told he must be held The committee said he turned a blind | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
eye to the conditions in order It is a damning indictment | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
to the working conditions at Sports Direct and MPs | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
and the committee warned that treating workers like | :06:03. | :06:04. | |
commodities rather than human beings could become | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
the norm across Britain, because it has proved | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
so successful for Mr Ashley. A spokesman for | :06:09. | :06:17. | |
Sports Direct said it was its policy to treat all people | :06:18. | :06:19. | |
with dignity and respect and it welcomed the fact that the committee | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
recognised Mike Ashley's commitment to address any shortcomings | :06:23. | :06:24. | |
in the working practices at Sports A study has suggested that there's | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
a strong and direct link between alcohol consumption | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
and seven different types The research, published | :06:34. | :06:35. | |
in the journal "Addiction" says there is strong | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
evidence of a direct, harmful effect from drinking, | :06:40. | :06:41. | |
although the biological reasons Alcohol is estimated to have | :06:42. | :06:43. | |
caused almost 6% of cancer Norfolk Police are appealing | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
for help in finding two people who tried to abduct a serviceman | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
near RAF Marham. Detectives say two men | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
of Middle Eastern appearance, who were armed with a knife, | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
tried to bundle the airman into a vehicle while he was jogging | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
on Wednesday. terrorism cannot be | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
ruled out as a motive. What is the latest that police are | :07:10. | :07:23. | |
saying about the investigation? Good morning. Norfolk police are still | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
searching for two men this morning after what they describe as an | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
attempted abduction of an off-duty servicemen in broad daylight on | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
Wednesday afternoon. The service man involved is a man in his late 20s, | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
and airmen, who is married and he was running his usual route. Several | :07:40. | :07:49. | |
thousand service men and women and support staff are based at RAF | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
Marham as our three Tornado bombers who have been in operation against | :07:55. | :08:03. | |
the so-called Islamic State. It is crucial that they find the two men | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
in the vehicle so they can establish a motive and only then can they rule | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
out the possibility that this was terror related. That is what is most | :08:11. | :08:16. | |
worrying for the friends and families of people who work here | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
because there has been an attack on duty service men in the past, three | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
years ago in Woolwich, when Lee Rigby lost his life after being | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
brutally murdered. There is a heightened security presence here | :08:31. | :08:31. | |
this morning. Roads remained closed and there is a very visible police | :08:32. | :08:37. | |
presence. People working on the base have been told to be cautious, not | :08:38. | :08:42. | |
to come out of the base alone wearing the uniform. I should say | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
that this is not the only military base this morning that is | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
experiencing high security measures. We are told that in Wiltshire, at | :08:49. | :08:55. | |
Bulford military camp, police helicopters and armed police were | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
scrambled overnight after reports of a sighting of three people with a | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
rifle. There is no reason to believe that these incidents are in any way | :09:03. | :09:07. | |
related. The Ministry of Defence is not saying much about the threat | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
level, simply that security is always paramount importance. The | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
investigation here in Norfolk continues this morning. Sophie, | :09:15. | :09:17. | |
thank you for that. In the last half hour it's been | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
announced that the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight | :09:21. | :09:23. | |
MH370 is to be suspended, if the plane is not found | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
on completion of the current The Malaysian transport minister | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
says hopes are 'fading' of finding the plane, | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
which vanished in 2014, but insists it doesn't mean they're | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
giving up completely on the search. It follows calls from relatives | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
of the missing to extend an underwater search | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
for the airliner. Today in our tripartite meeting, and | :09:39. | :09:55. | |
in absence of credible new evidence, Australia, China and Malaysia have | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
collectively decided to suspend the search upon the completion of the | :10:01. | :10:11. | |
120,000 kilometre search area. I must emphasise that this does not | :10:12. | :10:20. | |
mean that we have given up on locating MH370. | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
A Parliamentary report has warned the government's counter extremism | :10:24. | :10:26. | |
strategy may be driving a wedge between communities by overly | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
The Joint committee on human rights is calling for a review | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
of the strategy, saying the definition of extremism is not | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
clear enough in a legal sense, and the government should | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
reconsider its Prevent strategy - which is a key part | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
There's been a dramatic increase in the number of people using mobile | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
The latest figures show the technology is more popular | :10:50. | :10:53. | |
than high street branches, home phones and computers combined. | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
Finance apps are being used 11 million times a day, | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
up more than 50% in a year, according | :11:05. | :11:06. | |
The first person in the UK to have a double hand transplant | :11:07. | :11:10. | |
says he feels "whole again", and is looking forward to holding | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
a bottle of beer and wearing shirts with real buttons. | :11:14. | :11:15. | |
Chris King lost both his hands, except the thumbs, three years ago, | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
in an accident at work involving a metal pressing machine. | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
He received two new hands from a donor and says he already has | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
It feels quite normal, as it normally would do. | :11:26. | :11:35. | |
There is feeling there, more feeling than I thought | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9.30. | :11:39. | :11:58. | |
Lots of you getting in touch on the two stories we are covering today, | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
Donald Trump formally accepting the nomination to stand as president of | :12:05. | :12:11. | |
the United States. Sarah Louise said, stop scoffing at Trump, | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
democracy and unique culturalism unifies country -- countries. | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
Extremism does not drive a wedge and communities. Muslim communities do | :12:24. | :12:26. | |
when they don't integrate with society. We will be talking about | :12:27. | :12:37. | |
extremism and how to tackle the threat with various guests, | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
including Harriet Harman a little later, so do get in touch with us on | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
that if you want to be part of the conversation and don't forget the | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
hash tag. Remember, if you are text and you | :12:49. | :12:49. | |
I've had a bit of a treat today as we've had some | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
special visitors here to the BBC Sport Centre, | :12:58. | :12:59. | |
in fact, just outside, where I got to play a bit of cricket | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
who joined me to discuss the start of a new Twenty20 tournament, | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
And a year to go until England hosts the Women's World Cup, take a look. | :13:07. | :13:23. | |
Hello, Heather. Good bowling. I hope the technique was OK. Thanks for | :13:24. | :13:32. | |
joining us. The England captain, as well. We will talk about the 16 day | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
tournament involving some of the best players in women's cricket, | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
8020 tournament. How much will it help grow the game in England? | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
Massively exciting to see it all come together and to be here for the | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
launch is really exciting. The standard of competition will be | :13:49. | :13:51. | |
really good and hopefully people will and supporters and the young | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
girls will see that professional cricket is a career path and they | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
will enjoy watching us and carry on playing. Hopefully the super league | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
will go well and we will come away with the trophy. The competition | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
includes some of the world's best players. How much do you think the | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
inclusion of the overseas talons will add to the popularity of the | :14:13. | :14:20. | |
tournament? -- talents. Massively. They really are the world's best | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
players, some of them, so as England players it's great to play against | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
them and the younger girls coming through, to play against the world's | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
best and test their skills and be put under pressure, that will bode | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
well and create a really high standard of competition and we will | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
see some really good games. Of course, the increased media | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
popularity and sponsorship will help feed into the professional game. | :14:42. | :14:50. | |
that an important aspect? I think so. With the start of the Super | :14:51. | :14:52. | |
League and the other tournaments like the Big Bash I think it's a | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
really exciting time to be involved in women's cricket. It's going in a | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
good direction and hopefully at the Super League goes well it will | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
attract people to come and watch the game and the things that will come | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
with that. Really exciting times. You, of course, the England captain. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
How much do you think your success over the recent years has helped | :15:17. | :15:19. | |
bring the tournament to England? It was property something needed in | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
terms of bridging the gap between England and the domestic game. We | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
went professional couple of years ago in the last thing people wanted | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
was to see that get widened. The start of the Super League will | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
bridge the gap and I think it will bode well for the England team to | :15:35. | :15:36. | |
have the girls playing against the world's best. And obviously the | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
younger girls coming through to play against them, like Suzie Bates and | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
Rachel Priest. Some fantastic skills on show this | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
morning here in Salford, of the Kia Super League | :15:47. | :15:48. | |
across BBC Radio and of course coverage of the Second Men's Test | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
between England and Pakistan starts at 10.25 on the BBC Sport Website | :15:53. | :15:56. | |
and Radio 5live. I'll be back with more sport | :15:57. | :15:58. | |
at around half past. Well, Donald Trump has | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
made his big acceptance speech at the Republican Party's convention | :16:05. | :16:06. | |
in Cleveland Ohio. He spoke for more than an hour | :16:07. | :16:08. | |
and his supporters in the hall were euphoric - | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
but can the billionaire political outsider actually go on to win | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
the White House in November? Repeating his central | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
message yet again to "make America great again", | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
much of the speech ranged over We are going to build a great border | :16:22. | :16:39. | |
wall to stop illegal immigration, to stop the gangs and the violence and | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
to stop the drugs from pouring into our communities. | :16:48. | :16:57. | |
We must work with all of our allies who share our goal of destroying | :16:58. | :17:02. | |
Isis and stamping out Islamic terrorism and doing it now, doing it | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
quickly. We are going to win, we are going to win fast. | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
In Libya, our consulate the symbol of American prestige around the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
globe, was down in flames. America is far less safe, and the world is | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
far less stable than when Obama made the decision to put Hillary Clinton | :17:29. | :17:34. | |
in charge of America's foreign policy. | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
I have a message to every last person threatening the peace on our | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
streets and the safety of our police. When I take the oath of | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
office next year, I will restore law and order our country. The most | :17:56. | :18:02. | |
important difference between our plan and that of our opponent is | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
that our plan will put America first! | :18:10. | :18:20. | |
USA! USA! To all Americans tonight, in all of our cities and in all of | :18:21. | :18:36. | |
our towns, I make this promise. We will make America stronger again. We | :18:37. | :18:45. | |
will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we | :18:46. | :18:54. | |
will make America great again. God bless you, and good night. I love | :18:55. | :19:02. | |
you. I spoke to three Republicans a little earlier, Clarence Mingo, | :19:03. | :19:04. | |
Hossein Khoram and Alex Chalgren. We started by asking | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Alex Chalgren, a Trump supporter, whether he was impressed | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
by what he heard during Trump's I like that he was able to unify | :19:11. | :19:18. | |
both the ultra conservative and the more liberal leaning Republicans. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
Especially when he said he would try to strengthen our borders, | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
strengthen our military. He even touched on a more progressive idea, | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
to protect the LGBT community. When you say you liked the fact that he | :19:35. | :19:39. | |
is effectively unifying the party, many see him as a divisive | :19:40. | :19:46. | |
candidate. I don't see him as that. Some of his ideas are divisive, he | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
is an outsider. But in the long term, his ideas will bring this | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
country together to strengthen us. Clarence, you don't like him. You | :19:58. | :20:00. | |
have been a Republican for 25 years but you will vote Democrat rather | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
than vote for Donald Trump. Why? Well, I certainly will not be voting | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
for Hillary Clinton, but for the first time in my life, I am unable | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
to support the Republican nominee for president. I say this respect, | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
but Donald Trump has demonstrated almost one full-year's worth of | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
character issues. I listened to him heavily tonight. I have listened to | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
the tone at the convention, and the big takeaway is a lot of negative | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
rhetoric. I don't believe he represents the Republican party. He | :20:38. | :20:40. | |
is not a good reflection of what it means to be a Republican. We have | :20:41. | :20:47. | |
great policies that will help the American people, and Donald Trump | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
has yet to be specific in terms of what those policies are and how they | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
will be implemented if he is the president. Mr Trump has also managed | :20:55. | :20:59. | |
to offend nearly every constituency in America. He mocked a disabled | :21:00. | :21:08. | |
person. We know he showed a lack of respect for Senator John McCain, a | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
war hero. We know he has made many negative comments about Hispanics | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
and Muslims who are in America. So I am very challenged by Mr Trump and | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
find myself being unable to support him, primarily because of character | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
issues. Hossein Khoram, what do you think of what you heard from Donald | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
Trump? I think Donald Trump delivered a fascinating speech while | :21:36. | :21:41. | |
accepting the Republican nomination for the presidency. His speech was a | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
comprehensive listing of his future policies on important matters from | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
the economy to national and global security, while placing himself as a | :21:52. | :22:00. | |
law and order candidate. What was important in my view was the human | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
factor, the fact that he was able to bring his family so close to him. He | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
tried to make the same kind of connection to his country that he | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
would care for the country and make it great again like he does for | :22:17. | :22:19. | |
family. I thought it was a fascinating speech, and I think we | :22:20. | :22:27. | |
will have the key to the White House almost in our grasp. What do you | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
think of the anti-Muslim rhetoric he has come out with, as you are | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
Muslim? Let's be honest about this. There have been plenty of terror | :22:38. | :22:43. | |
attacks in my country and yours. There is something wrong with the | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
way Islam is practised in both our countries. He is the first candidate | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
who had the guts to say it the way it is. All the previous candidates | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
in my country and yours have been talking about Islam being a religion | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
of peace and therefore, we shouldn't talk about the acts of the few. We | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
are not here to judge the religion, we are judging the people who | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
practise it and commit these acts of violence. Unless we start accepting | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
the challenges we face from this group of people, we will not be able | :23:17. | :23:23. | |
to have a solution. But by putting the message forward in the way he | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
puts it, though, does it make Americans safer or less safe? As | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
long as you pursue a solution, it will make us safer in the medium and | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
long run. We have to face the challenge should. We have to see why | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
we have these challenges from this group of radicals. In England and | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
here, there are those who promote sharia law. These are issues we need | :23:53. | :24:00. | |
to deal with, and we need to empower the Muslim Americans and Muslim | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
British citizens who are secular, who oppose these groups, and have | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
them challenge these radicals. I don't know about your country, but | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
in my country, the extremists are very small people. The problem is, | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
the majority are silent and they don't confront them because they | :24:20. | :24:23. | |
have not been asked to. Donald Trump is the person inspiring them. | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
Clarence, do you think Donald Trump's rhetoric would make America | :24:29. | :24:34. | |
safer or less safe? I have a two part response to that. Number one, I | :24:35. | :24:39. | |
think the words of the president of the United States or a potential | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
president matter. We have nations around the world watching to see how | :24:45. | :24:48. | |
both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump respond to what is happening | :24:49. | :24:54. | |
in the world. And Donald Trump's rhetoric has agitated and angered | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
and invoked fear amongst our allies. We have watched for nearly one | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
full-year the leading candidates in the Republican party failed to | :25:08. | :25:09. | |
articulate himself in a way the American people find acceptable. And | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
certainly, our allies abroad, who depend on the word of the president | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
of the United States to ensure that the United States is what it should | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
be abroad and that we do the things we can to keep the world safe and to | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
protect our allies, Donald Trump has not articulated what his plans are | :25:26. | :25:33. | |
interims of foreign policy. I have yet to hear a substantive approach | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
to foreign policy from Mr Trump. We know today that the world is in a | :25:39. | :25:47. | |
state of chaos. Alex, sorry to cut across you, but I want to put to | :25:48. | :25:52. | |
Alex what Arnold Trump has said on immigration and how to tackle | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
terrace. He said he would suspend immigration from nations compromised | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
by terrorism. Is that a clear policy and is it something you like? That | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
is definitely a clear policy and I love that. How do you define it, is | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
it just a way of him saying what he said before, which was to stop | :26:12. | :26:14. | |
Muslims coming into the United States? No. In our laws, he has the | :26:15. | :26:22. | |
authority to ban any immigration from countries that are deemed | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
threatening to our citizens. So I think that is perfect. What do you | :26:29. | :26:36. | |
think, Clarence? I think there are individuals in the State Department | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
who have a lot of experience. I think there are past secretaries of | :26:41. | :26:42. | |
state who would immediately tell you that that approach to dealing with | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
immigration is simply not practical. There would be a ripple effect | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
across the world if Donald Trump Wittig and that public policy, which | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
is not practical or reasonable -- if Donald Trump were to implement that | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
policy. It would be if the stored mistake of sizeable proportions. The | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
United States would lose respect from nations across the world who | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
count on us to be a free and peace-loving people. I am not | :27:11. | :27:15. | |
suggesting which would go soft on terrorism and immigration. There is | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
a way to deal with that. I have yet to hear Donald Trump articulate what | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
that way is, but the approach that calls for banning certain countries | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
from allowing their publishers to enter the United States is not | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
appropriate. It doesn't reflect freedom or democracy. Clarence, you | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
have said you will not vote for Donald Trump. Does that mean you | :27:37. | :27:41. | |
will not vote in the election at all, and have you come across many | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
others who feel the way you do? Yeah, there is a group of | :27:46. | :27:49. | |
Republicans who are struck by our conscience. We look at Donald Trump, | :27:50. | :27:55. | |
we appreciate the fact that he won the primary, but our hearts and | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
minds and conscience will not allow us to support a candidate who has | :27:59. | :28:01. | |
yet to demonstrate the practical ability to lead the nation and the | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
free world. We cannot endorse a candidate, who for seven long | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
months, behaved through the pram receives an almost like a | :28:10. | :28:12. | |
16-year-old. I don't know that there has been another time in American | :28:13. | :28:15. | |
politics we have watched a leading candidates believe in -- behave in a | :28:16. | :28:21. | |
way that was juvenile, less than responsible and often simply | :28:22. | :28:24. | |
inappropriate. So despite being a lifelong Republican, my conscience | :28:25. | :28:27. | |
does not allow me to support this candidate. But I will remain | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
faithful to the party and I will work hard for other Republicans to | :28:31. | :28:38. | |
make sure that Republicans win. But I cannot support the leading | :28:39. | :28:44. | |
candidate. Hossein Khoram, has there been a more divisive figure at this | :28:45. | :28:47. | |
level in US politics amongst their own party before? If you are asking | :28:48. | :28:57. | |
whether somebody like Donald Trump has been nominated before? Well, we | :28:58. | :29:03. | |
are hearing from Clarence and other Republicans say they cannot get | :29:04. | :29:06. | |
behind the official public candidate in this election. Well, if you look | :29:07. | :29:19. | |
at the videos taken when Donald Trump accepted the nomination, we | :29:20. | :29:25. | |
had about 2600 delegates. Everything was on fire. They were excited and | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
jubilant. The whole arena was full of life. The people who were there | :29:30. | :29:38. | |
were excited about the comp and the path forward -- about Donald Trump. | :29:39. | :29:43. | |
The other Republicans are the old guard of the Republican party, and | :29:44. | :29:47. | |
they are not happy with this. Jeb Bush and Bromley and these folks -- | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
Mitt Romney. But this is the vote of the people. Arnold, has struck a | :29:55. | :30:03. | |
nerve. He has created a movement for the Americans who are concerned | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
about the future and security. They don't want terrorists to move into | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
the neighbourhood and blow themselves up and kill the family | :30:12. | :30:13. | |
and their children. So when Donald Trump is talking about a temporary | :30:14. | :30:17. | |
ban on Muslims whose countries have been compromised terrorism, he is | :30:18. | :30:23. | |
talking about Syria. In Syria, there are no ID cards. They will just go | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
to Turkey, and they can give a name, register under any name. They can be | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
taken as refugees to our country. Isis and archived and Daesh have | :30:35. | :30:37. | |
stated repeatedly that they are embedding their own people to send | :30:38. | :30:41. | |
to our nations to target us. Well, do you think it would be a betrayal | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
of our obligations to our citizens if we accept these people on a | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
temporary or permanent basis to our country, who kill our citizens? We | :30:52. | :30:57. | |
need to get this figured out. This has nothing to do with religion and | :30:58. | :31:01. | |
everything to do with preserving the security of citizens in our country. | :31:02. | :31:11. | |

is calling for the government to review its counter extremism | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
strategy because it says it risks The committee found that ministers' | :36:19. | :36:20. | |
proposals were based on an assumption that there | :36:21. | :36:26. | |
was an "escalator" of radicalisation which began with religious | :36:27. | :36:29. | |
conservatism and ended with support Extremism could therefore be tackled | :36:30. | :36:31. | |
by imposing restrictions The committee also said | :36:32. | :36:37. | |
the definition of extremism was not clear enough in a legal sense, | :36:38. | :36:45. | |
and said the government should review its Prevent strategy, | :36:46. | :36:48. | |
a key part of the government's Harriet Harman MP is Chair | :36:49. | :36:50. | |

of 5Pillars UK, a British He disagrees with | :37:30. | :37:32. | |
the Prevent Strategy. Harriet Harman, first of all, you | :37:33. | :37:40. | |
say the government strategy risks making the situation worse. Why? The | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
most precious asset in tackling terrorism, and it is the job of the | :37:48. | :37:52. | |
government to make a save, is the most precious relationship between | :37:53. | :37:57. | |
Muslim authorities and local authorities. If you go heavy-handed | :37:58. | :38:02. | |
and criminalise people for their religious views you risk actually | :38:03. | :38:10. | |
making a worse relationship between police and Muslim communities, | :38:11. | :38:13. | |
alienating people and leading to the radicalisation you are trying to | :38:14. | :38:18. | |
stop in the first place. The government appear to have made lots | :38:19. | :38:22. | |
of announcements about counter extremism but they don't how they | :38:23. | :38:27. | |
will do it. As you said in the introduction, just because somebody | :38:28. | :38:29. | |
has conservative religious views, and I disagree with them, but I | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
don't think banning them is the way to deal with them and it's not | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
justified unless there is a clear connection between the views and | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
criminal activities. So you are saying it's wrong from start to | :38:45. | :38:49. | |
finish, the Prevent strategy is completely wrong? I think that is | :38:50. | :38:52. | |
something slightly different because its duties, where is counter | :38:53. | :38:58. | |
extremism is about the orders, banning orders, disruption orders | :38:59. | :39:05. | |
and closure orders. These orders will be put down on individuals and | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
organisations who are regarded as extremist, whatever that means, and | :39:10. | :39:13. | |
if they breach the orders there will be a criminal offence committed. | :39:14. | :39:27. | |
They say if you are intolerant and if I am intolerant of religions that | :39:28. | :39:33. | |
regard homosexuality as evil, that doesn't make me an extremist, so | :39:34. | :39:40. | |
they have real problems. You are saying it's not the right way to | :39:41. | :39:44. | |
look at it, it's the psychological make-up of somebody, where they come | :39:45. | :39:48. | |
from, how they see foreign policy. Are you saying those are strong | :39:49. | :39:54. | |
indicators than religious views? The latest iteration of the Prevent | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
strategy has been going for a year. Look at the evidence that those | :39:59. | :40:01. | |
people who think it's working or not working and then learn from that | :40:02. | :40:05. | |
before you take a whole load of Draconian powers which could | :40:06. | :40:10. | |
alienate the communities you need to work with. Is it possible to find | :40:11. | :40:17. | |
out where it is working and not working? I think it is difficult and | :40:18. | :40:21. | |
not black-and-white. Where Prevent has been successful, and it's a | :40:22. | :40:26. | |
broad strategy. Actually explain in a nutshell, the people watching, | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
what exactly Prevent is? It is a range of strategies that goes from | :40:33. | :40:38. | |
schools to universities and colleges through to communities that is | :40:39. | :40:47. | |
designed to dissuade in particular young Muslims who are deemed to be | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
vulnerable to radicalisation from going down that path. Where it has | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
been quite successful is in deterring young Muslims from going | :40:56. | :41:07. | |
to join Isis. I'm informed about the Muslim community about people who | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
are vulnerable, concerned about what their children are going to do, and | :41:11. | :41:13. | |
that is coming through in a way it was in before. So Prevent is | :41:14. | :41:19. | |
designed, as it says, to prevent radicalisation. One of my concerns | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
about what they call the escalator process, whereby there is a link | :41:24. | :41:30. | |
between religious conservatism and jihad is is established, there is no | :41:31. | :41:41. | |
doubt that the bedrock of so-called Islamic State's ideology is based on | :41:42. | :41:44. | |
religious conservatism, but it would be wrong and erroneous to associate | :41:45. | :41:48. | |
religious conservatism with jihadism. I have dealt with | :41:49. | :41:56. | |
fundamentalists who are deeply opposed to jihadism, who are | :41:57. | :42:03. | |
actually involved in part of Prevent which is called the channel, and | :42:04. | :42:06. | |
they are dissuading young Muslims from going down that route. The | :42:07. | :42:09. | |
danger is one of oversimplification. Is it being oversimplified? The | :42:10. | :42:14. | |
problem is they're trying to tackle a complicated issue. If you look at | :42:15. | :42:19. | |
the counter extremism strategy it seems to veer into territories which | :42:20. | :42:24. | |
are difficult to understand. It has a section on religious heresy and | :42:25. | :42:32. | |
I'm sure most people would find it odd that an ostensibly secular | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
government is starting to discuss where religious heresy is and what | :42:36. | :42:40. | |
role it plays in the process of radicalisation. What do you think | :42:41. | :42:46. | |
comes into play when somebody is radicalised? What are the factors? | :42:47. | :42:51. | |
This is one thing the Prevent strategy has made clear, the | :42:52. | :42:56. | |
escalator approach or this conveyor belt, actually. When it comes down | :42:57. | :43:00. | |
to the individual cases there are lots of different factors that are | :43:01. | :43:03. | |
affecting it. Individuals may well be radicalised because, let's be | :43:04. | :43:08. | |
honest, if you are a family member has been killed in a drone strike in | :43:09. | :43:13. | |
the subcontinent you don't need an ideology to radicalise you. On the | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
other hand, if some eyes considering travelling to the UK over to Syria | :43:18. | :43:22. | |
and Iraq to join Islamic State, or what they believe it to be, then | :43:23. | :43:26. | |
there is an ideological element at play. There are various different | :43:27. | :43:32. | |
factors for different people and what is important is being able to | :43:33. | :43:35. | |
have a new 1's perspective. Harriet and the other MPs are saying the | :43:36. | :43:40. | |
government strategy could be making it worse. Do you think that is the | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
case? Absolutely. There seems to be an issue of definition, consensus | :43:45. | :43:50. | |
and implementation, and essentially what that is is the importance of | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
having an evidence -based approach to the matter. The Prevent strategy | :43:56. | :44:04. | |
itself is widely opposed in the Muslim community, and this is a | :44:05. | :44:08. | |
matter which is now affecting communities beyond the Muslim | :44:09. | :44:12. | |
community. We have had academics and senior police officers who have | :44:13. | :44:17. | |
criticised the Prevent strategy and this proposed counter extremism | :44:18. | :44:19. | |
strategy is seriously Draconian in nature and the reason why nothing | :44:20. | :44:25. | |
has come out from the government is because barristers and lawyers are | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
running around like headless chickens to define what extremism | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
means. In the absence of the legal definition all of the measures will | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
fall flat on their face. So where does that send up, Harriet? One | :44:37. | :44:41. | |
point you make reminds me about the point of universities. They have a | :44:42. | :44:47. | |
duty by law to promote intellectual freedom and free speech, but they | :44:48. | :44:52. | |
also have a legal duty to stop people promulgating radical views. | :44:53. | :44:58. | |
The point is they are being given to on predicting responsibilities. The | :44:59. | :45:04. | |
government so far -- two contradicting responsibilities. The | :45:05. | :45:06. | |
government have made speeches and said they would have a counter | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
extremism bill but they haven't come up with it. Do you think it is | :45:10. | :45:13. | |
achievable? If they review the Prevent strategy, forensically and | :45:14. | :45:18. | |
independently, and listen to all the people involved as to what works and | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
doesn't work it might be that ending up refining and improving the | :45:24. | :45:26. | |
prevent strategy is better than coming in with a whole load of | :45:27. | :45:30. | |
orders, criminalising people, which will create outrage. If you | :45:31. | :45:34. | |
criminalise conservative views in the conservative -- Islamic | :45:35. | :45:40. | |
community, but if the same views are held by Orthodox Jews or evangelical | :45:41. | :45:43. | |
Christians are not criminalised you have people saying this is | :45:44. | :45:49. | |
completely unjustified. I'm a religious conservative but I'm | :45:50. | :45:51. | |
nothing to do with violence, as Peter said. Amber Rudd, the new Home | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
Secretary, has something big in her in tray left by Theresa May needs to | :45:56. | :45:57. | |
it out. I am not sure it's true to say that | :45:58. | :46:05. | |
the majority of the Muslim community are opposed to the Prevent strategy. | :46:06. | :46:10. | |
Certainly, there is opposition to it. Well, let's let Dilley and | :46:11. | :46:22. | |
Rashad Ali big. A couple of things. First, we are looking at strategy | :46:23. | :46:25. | |
across the board in dealing with the far right and what used to be | :46:26. | :46:32. | |
described as archived and is now Islamist extremist inspired | :46:33. | :46:34. | |
terrorism. In the Midlands and the south of Wales, in the majority of | :46:35. | :46:39. | |
cases we deal with our far right extremists. That is something | :46:40. | :46:47. | |
important to understand. Regarding the issue of how we deal with this, | :46:48. | :46:57. | |
this is where the counter extremism strategy has sections we would | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
broadly agree with. For example, there is a need for enhancing social | :47:02. | :47:04. | |
cohesion and stopping fringe element politics. We were just looking at | :47:05. | :47:10. | |
what is happening in the US with the likes of Trump, which is a fringe | :47:11. | :47:13. | |
element becoming mainstream and having a lot of influence. There are | :47:14. | :47:20. | |
problems with that across society which are huge. French politics do | :47:21. | :47:28. | |
divide us. -- fringe politics. It is one thing for extremists to want to | :47:29. | :47:38. | |
kill homosexuals. Tim Farron is an example of someone who has views | :47:39. | :47:42. | |
regarding homosexuality and was questioned about it. That is a | :47:43. | :47:44. | |
personal religious conviction, that is fine. But there is something in | :47:45. | :47:49. | |
between. You have an individual who says, I believe the government | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
should try homosexuals and execute them. That is not illegal. It is not | :47:55. | :48:00. | |
an incitement to terrace, but it is very extreme, just as we would say | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
somebody saying all Muslims should be banned from the UK or the US is | :48:05. | :48:10. | |
very extreme. It is disharmony as for our society and creates trouble. | :48:11. | :48:17. | |
A quick final word from Rashad Ali? It is important to distinguish | :48:18. | :48:20. | |
between the Prevent strategy and the success stories of normal policing. | :48:21. | :48:26. | |
That is the grey area. We tend to conflate good work done by the | :48:27. | :48:29. | |
police force in preventing terrorist acts with that of Prevent. To | :48:30. | :48:35. | |
respond to a point that Peter made, if you look at the recent opposition | :48:36. | :48:40. | |
to Prevent from the likes of Waltham Forest Council of mosques, from the | :48:41. | :48:44. | |
independent mosque initiative, the mosques Council, which represents | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
thousands of Muslims, has voiced its concern about the Prevent strategy, | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
which they feel is analysing mainstream Islamic beliefs and | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
activists. We are almost out of time. The elephant in the room with | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
the sidelining of foreign policy grievances, which is not a causative | :49:04. | :49:08. | |
issue, but it is a big point. Thank you all very much for coming in. | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
The Home Office told us in a statement that they will | :49:13. | :49:14. | |
carefully consider today's report and respond in due course. | :49:15. | :49:16. | |
Coming up: More warnings that alcohol causes cancer. | :49:17. | :49:45. | |
We'll be talking to the author of a new study who says there really | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
It's been four years since we watched David Beckham | :49:49. | :49:56. | |
cruise up the River Thames and the Queen jump out | :49:57. | :49:59. | |
of a helicopter in the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. | :50:00. | :50:01. | |
And to mark the occasion, the fourthth annual Anniversary Games | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
get under way tonight at the Olympic Stadium. | :50:06. | :50:12. | |
We'll talk more about the games in a moment, but first let's remind | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
ourselves of some of the highlights of the 2012 Olympics. | :50:16. | :50:19. | |
More than seven years after London was | :50:20. | :50:30. | |
announced as the Olympic venue, the eyes of the world will once again | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
# You better fire off your gun and stand forever. | :50:34. | :50:39. | |
# He said go dry your eyes and live your life... | :50:40. | :50:42. | |
Thousands of competitors are here to take part in | :50:43. | :50:44. | |
Billions of people around the globe are preparing to tune in to see | :50:45. | :50:51. | |
In the next two weeks, we will show all that has made | :50:52. | :51:01. | |
London one of the greatest cities in the world. | :51:02. | :51:03. | |
# We are the heroes of our time. | :51:04. | :51:10. | |
For the athletes gathered here, I say that to you is given something | :51:11. | :51:20. | |
precious and irreplaceable, to run faster, to jump higher, | :51:21. | :51:22. | |
# We are the heroes of our time. # Heroes, heroes. | :51:23. | :51:31. | |
# We are dancing with the demons in our minds. | :51:32. | :51:37. | |
# Don't say a word, don't make a sound. | :51:38. | :51:51. | |
# Wake up and turn this world around, an inspiration. | :51:52. | :52:01. | |
# When you were lost, I will follow right behind as your salvation. | :52:02. | :52:09. | |
It's a golden triumph for Andy Murray. | :52:10. | :52:26. | |
There is a truth in sport, a purity, a drama, | :52:27. | :52:35. | |
This is what I dreamt of for my entire life. | :52:36. | :52:54. | |
In every Olympic sport, there is all that matters in life. | :52:55. | :52:57. | |
and our grandchildren that when our time came, we did it right. | :52:58. | :53:16. | |
Here now are Tony Coalville, who is after the games tonight with a group | :53:17. | :53:35. | |
of friends. He now lives in the old athletes' village. Ali Speechly is | :53:36. | :53:39. | |
heading there over the weekend and was also a games make at the London | :53:40. | :53:43. | |
Olympics, and Jonathan love it has some unique memories of the games. | :53:44. | :53:47. | |
He was a volunteer in the Olympic opening ceremony and is partly | :53:48. | :53:50. | |
dressed up in the costume. Ali, you were a games maker. Great memories | :53:51. | :53:58. | |
there of the 2012 games. If the event this week about nostalgia for | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
you, or you will you be hoping some of the magic is recreated? | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
Definitely. I am going to the Anniversary Games tomorrow. It will | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
be amazing to be back at the stadium. I worked in the basketball | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
arena during the Paralympic Games, which was a temporary arena. But I | :54:15. | :54:20. | |
went to the main stadium when I went for the dress rehearsal of the | :54:21. | :54:26. | |
opening ceremony. And I have not been back to the main stadium since, | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
so it will be good to go back. Jonathan, you are wearing some of | :54:31. | :54:35. | |
the costume you walk. I don't wear this every day, I haven't worn it | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
every day for the last four years! But it is obviously special to you | :54:41. | :54:45. | |
and an amazing opportunity you had. It was a fantastic opportunity. None | :54:46. | :54:49. | |
of us realised at the time how good it was going to be. There was a lot | :54:50. | :54:53. | |
of bad press about how this was going to be an embarrassment and a | :54:54. | :54:57. | |
national humiliation. Even some of my friends said, why are you doing | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
this? But it turned out to be one of the most life affirming experiences | :55:02. | :55:07. | |
I have ever had. Tony, you live in the place that housed the athletes. | :55:08. | :55:12. | |
Did you go there because it had that history? Yes, it is a huge | :55:13. | :55:20. | |
attraction to have an Olympic venue -- to have Olympic venues on your | :55:21. | :55:24. | |
doorstep. The vibe around the park in the last few months, we have had | :55:25. | :55:28. | |
Tom Daley casually wandering through on his way to diving training. We | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
have seen Usain Bolt practise this morning before this evening. You | :55:34. | :55:36. | |
can't get that anywhere else in London. And you are off to watch | :55:37. | :55:43. | |
tonight? We are. We are taking a big friends who have never watched a | :55:44. | :55:46. | |
track and field event before, for their last chance to see Usain Bolt | :55:47. | :55:49. | |
before he probably retires after these Olympics. Ali, what are you | :55:50. | :55:59. | |
going to sit? As I said, I am looking forward to just being back | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
in the stadium. I love the long jump and triple jumps, so I am looking | :56:05. | :56:13. | |
forward to those. Jonathan, will you get to go? I don't think so. I would | :56:14. | :56:19. | |
love to go back. The only time I have been was the opening ceremony, | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
but it would be a thrill to be there again. You reminded us of the | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
build-up and how there was a lot of negative talk around the games. When | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
everybody remembers it now, it was a golden moment. That's right. It gave | :56:34. | :56:41. | |
you a good collective mentality of us against the world, because | :56:42. | :56:44. | |
everybody was saying this was going to be a disaster. So you felt very | :56:45. | :56:48. | |
loyal towards your fellow competitors, and people like Danny | :56:49. | :56:51. | |
Boyle inspired that loyalty. He wanted it to work for him and for | :56:52. | :56:55. | |
your fellow volunteers and for yourself. It was a great communal | :56:56. | :57:02. | |
event. So much blood was said about the games makers, Ali. -- so much | :57:03. | :57:09. | |
good was said. Do you still feel the pride? Definitely. I have still got | :57:10. | :57:14. | |
my games make a uniform stored away somewhere. Even in and around | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
London, you obviously had to be in your uniform on your way to and from | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
your shift, so travelling on the tube, people would stop you and ask | :57:23. | :57:25. | |
you what you were doing as part of the games. And that in itself is | :57:26. | :57:29. | |
unique in London, because usually nobody talks to each other on the | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
tube! Good to have you all joining us with your reminiscences. | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
The Anniversary Games are kicking off tonight. Coming up, we will hear | :57:40. | :57:45. | |
from the man who has had the UK's first double hand transplant. You | :57:46. | :57:54. | |
can use the sums now? Yes, I can. -- use the funds. | :57:55. | :58:01. | |
Now, let's show you some pictures just released by Kensington Palace | :58:02. | :58:05. | |
of Prince George. It is his third birthday. The pictures have been | :58:06. | :58:10. | |
taken by a photographer at the family home in Norfolk to mark the | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
third birthday. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge said in a statement | :58:15. | :58:17. | |
that they are hoping people will enjoy seeing the photographs and | :58:18. | :58:20. | |
they have thanked everyone for all the lovely messages they have | :58:21. | :58:24. | |
received as Prince George celebrates his third birthday. | :58:25. | :58:32. | |
There you go, with the family dog. And a couple more. | :58:33. | :58:47. | |
Let's catch up with the weather. We have a bit of everything thrown into | :58:48. | :58:56. | |
the weather forecast today. We have had some mist and fog patches around | :58:57. | :59:00. | |
first thing, some sunshine on offer as we had through the day, but we | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
are also set to see heavy showers and thunderstorms later. Our weather | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
watchers have been capturing the scene. There was quite a bit of folk | :59:08. | :59:13. | |
earlier in the day, but that is now lifting. -- quite a bit of fog. In | :59:14. | :59:18. | |
Jersey, you can see the sunshine and a bit of fair weather cloud turning | :59:19. | :59:22. | |
things hazy but I couldn't resist showing you this scene from | :59:23. | :59:29. | |
Aberdeenshire. As we head through the day, we will keep sunshine in | :59:30. | :59:33. | |
central and eastern parts of the country, but the cloud is increasing | :59:34. | :59:36. | |
and that cloud will bring with it heavy downpours across parts of | :59:37. | :59:40. | |
central and eastern England. That is where we could see scattered heavy | :59:41. | :59:45. | |
showers and thunderstorms. Further north, and improving story for | :59:46. | :59:48. | |
Northern Ireland and the west of Scotland. That car breaks to leave | :59:49. | :59:53. | |
sunshine the afternoon. A few spots of rain in the north-east of | :59:54. | :59:58. | |
England. Further south, we could see those heavy showers and | :59:59. | :00:04. | |
thunderstorms. Quite a lot of dry weather for Wales and the south-west | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
of England, but we can't rule out some sharp showers. A dry spell of | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
weather through Oxfordshire, but for eastern England, we will continue to | :00:14. | :00:16. | |
have heavy downpours. They will fade away through the evening hours, | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
becoming dry for most places overnight. Another mild and muggy | :00:22. | :00:27. | |
night, with temperatures holding up in the high teens again. But | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
slightly more comfortable compared to recent nights. Tomorrow, we keep | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
the sunshine across much of England and Wales. Dry and bright here. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Further north-west, the cloud will bring outbreaks of rain at times for | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
Northern Ireland and Scotland. It will feel fresher towards the | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
north-west. Towards the south-east, we could once again see 28 or 29 | :00:48. | :00:55. | |
Celsius. Through Sunday, we will see a weather front moving in from the | :00:56. | :00:58. | |
Atlantic. That is said to affect northern and western parts of the | :00:59. | :01:05. | |
country. There will be rain at times across Northern Ireland, Scotland, | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
more than England and parts of Wales. It will be warm on a sunny | :01:09. | :01:15. | |
and humid in the south-east. High teens to low 20s further north. Next | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
week, temperatures return to being more typical for the time of year, | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
not as hot as a has-been. There will be a mix of sunshine and scattered | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
showers, mostly towards the north and west. | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
Welcome to the programme if you've just joined us. | :01:37. | :01:43. | |
Donald Trump, has formally accepted the Republican nomination | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
In an hour-long speech he promised put a stop to crime and violence, | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
and said that America couldn't afford to be | :01:52. | :01:53. | |
We are going to build a great border wall to stop illegal immigration. To | :01:54. | :02:09. | |
stop the gangs and the violence, and to stop the drugs. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
We've been hearing from Republicans in America on what they made | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
I liked that he was able to unify the ultra conservatives and the more | :02:15. | :02:22. | |
liberal leaning Republicans and unify the party again. We have great | :02:23. | :02:30. | |
policies and agendas that I think will help the American people and | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Donald Trump has yet to be specific in terms of what the policies are | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
and how they will be implemented if he is the President of the United | :02:37. | :02:40. | |
States. I think it was a fascinating speech, and with this speech, we | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
will have the key to the White House almost in our grasp. | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
We will talk to the author of a new study who says drinking | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
alcohol can cause seven different types of cancer. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |

Philip Hammond says he might have to change the fiscal policy Britain. It | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
suggests economic activity has fallen to its lowest level since | :03:37. | :03:40. | |

Of course we understand the decision, particularly the | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
unexpected nature of the decision on June the 23rd has caused some | :03:50. | :03:54. | |

of dividing America along Our North America Correspondent | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
Laura Bicker reports. If you watch the full 75 minutes of | :04:14. | :04:28. | |
the speech from Donald Trump is a picture of America in chaos and | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
crisis. It was full of remarks about terrorism, crime and also illegal | :04:34. | :04:35. | |
immigrants. The picture he is trying to paint is one of an America that | :04:36. | :04:42. | |
he and only he can fix. He is saying that politicians have had their turn | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
and it is time for an outside candidate, and he says he is the one | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
that can do it, because he has built an empire. He also talked about | :04:52. | :04:57. | |
renegotiating trade deals and said it was about Americanism, not | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
globalism. What he is trying to do is say, look, it will be all about | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
America first, not about America's place in the world. He is trying to | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
put neighbourhoods, states and people versed in the country, and I | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
think that will have played well to middle America. It certainly played | :05:16. | :05:20. | |
well in the hall, but it had to. This has been one of the most | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
controversial Republican conventions in decades. First we had the | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
controversy over the millennia trump speech, plagiarise, a rip-off of a | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
Michelle Obama speech in 2008 -- Mullaney trump. There were many | :05:37. | :05:43. | |
shouts of lock her up over Hillary Clinton. The Secret Service are also | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
looking into one of Donald Trump's aides who is said to have put | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
forward the notion that she should be shot for treason. That is very | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
dark rhetoric indeed. Donald Trump has managed to stay away from it. | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
The normal pantomime politics we associate with Donald Trump during | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
his rallies was missing tonight, and instead he stuck to the script. And | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
when those shouts of lock her up came from the crowd, he stepped back | :06:10. | :06:14. | |
and said, no, let's defeat her in November. They are trying to paint | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
this as a choice between a candidate of change, Donald Trump or the | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
status quo of Hillary Clinton. Again, it played very well to the | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
hall tonight. The key will be is how it is played out in living rooms | :06:30. | :06:31. | |
across America. A damning report by MPs has accused | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
Sports Direct of failing to treat its employees | :06:35. | :06:37. | |
as human beings. The Business Innovation | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
and Skills Committee said working practices in the company's warehouse | :06:40. | :06:40. | |
and shops were closer "to a Victorian workhouse | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
than a High Street retailer". The Committee also said | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
the company's boss, Mike Ashley, should be held accountable | :06:49. | :06:50. | |
for what it described as appalling Police have confirmed the body | :06:51. | :06:52. | |

what happened is underway. In the last half hour it's been | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
announced that the search for missing Malaysia Airlines Flight | :07:23. | :07:25. | |
MH370 is to be suspended, if the plane is not found | :07:26. | :07:27. | |
on completion of the current search. The Malaysian transport minister | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
says hopes are 'fading' of finding the plane, | :07:33. | :07:34. | |
which vanished in 2014, but insists it doesn't mean they're | :07:35. | :07:35. | |
giving up completely on the search. It follows calls from relatives | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
of the missing to extend an underwater search | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
for the airliner. A study has suggested that there's | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
a strong and direct link between alcohol consumption | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
and seven different types of cancer. The research, published | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
in the journal "Addiction" says there is strong evidence | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
of a direct, harmful effect from drinking, | :07:57. | :07:58. | |
although the biological reasons Alcohol is estimated to have | :07:59. | :08:00. | |
caused almost 6% of cancer New pictures have been released | :08:01. | :08:08. | |

everyone for all the lovely messages they have received as Prince George | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
celebrates his third birthday. That's a summary of the latest news. | :08:26. | :08:43. | |
We will have a look at new findings about how much alcohol we should not | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
be drinking with a report just out saying there is no safe limit and | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
that alcohol causes up to seven types of cancer. You have also got | :08:51. | :08:54. | |
in touch about Donald Trump. Sylvia says I am sick of all the negativity | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
about him, he's the only one to say it as it is. No wonder Brexit was | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
victorious, and hopefully trump will be too. On twitter, Donald Trump as | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
leader of the free world fills me with dread. I hope and pray the | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
American people do not elect him. Do get in touch with everything we are | :09:13. | :09:18. | |
talking about. If you text, you will be charge of the standard network | :09:19. | :09:19. | |
rate. Let's catch up with the sport. England's cricketers begin | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
the Second Test against Pakistan at Old Trafford later this morning - | :09:23. | :09:24. | |
still smarting from their defeat James Anderson and Ben Stokes return | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
for England who know it's case of must do better | :09:28. | :09:35. | |
from their defeat at Lord's. Patrick Gearey is at | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
the ground for us. Patrick, there are so many things | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
to discuss going into this match. It's going to be a close contest. A | :09:42. | :09:52. | |
beautiful morning at Old Trafford here. Like the first episode in a | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
drama series, the first test has hooked people in. It has the | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
intrigue and the plot twist of England losing to this resurgent, | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
spirited Pakistan side. The England response has been to change the cast | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
slightly. Income then Stokes and James Anderson. A lot of talk about | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
why Anderson did not play in the first test as he was fit enough to | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
play the County Championship match at Southport but according to the | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
selectors, not fit enough to play in the first test. Alastair Cook has | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
called it a messy affair. The other England decision to make today's | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
weather to play a second spinner in Adil Rashid. Old Trafford | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
traditionally takes spin, so it might England go with two spinners? | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
As the Pakistan, they would want more of the same. An excellent | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
display at Lord's and if the pitch takes spin, Yasir Shah might play a | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
part. He took ten wickets in the last test. The last time they lost a | :10:49. | :10:53. | |
Test match was 2001 at Old Trafford, for England, and the opponents were, | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
yes, Pakistan. Thanks for joining us. | :10:58. | :10:58. | |
Chris Froome is moving ever closer to his third Tour de France | :10:59. | :11:01. | |

Usain Bolt races over 200 metres for the first time this season, | :11:13. | :11:25. | |
The six-time Olympic champion says he's fully fit, | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
after hamstring problems and claims he's in much better | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
Bolt has also been supportive of the decision to ban Russian track | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
and field athletes from Rio, saying it sends out | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
The chairman of UK Athletics says he believes all Russian competitors | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
should be banned from the Olympic Games, following confirmation | :11:43. | :11:44. | |
Ed Warner is also confident that doping has been rooted | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
There is temptation in all walks of life but we can make sure the | :11:51. | :12:02. | |
British athletes are well-educated and the system is robust and they | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
understand the penalties for cheating and the benefits of | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
competing clean so the British public can believe in what they say. | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
I believe the British team to be clean, and I think they will go to | :12:13. | :12:14. | |
Rio and win a load of medals. Sports Xtra for the build | :12:15. | :12:16. | |
up to the Test Match. It seems like every week we get | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
another report telling us how much alcohol is safe for us to drink | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
and what the links are Today one such report says | :12:30. | :12:32. | |
that there is strong evidence that points to alcohol causing | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
seven types of cancer. So maybe that glass of red | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
wine that we are told is good for the heart | :12:39. | :12:41. | |
is in fact causing harm. Let's talk now to Jennie Connor, | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
Chair in Preventive Social Medicine at the University | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
of Otago who conducted the review. We can also talk to Doctor John | :12:49. | :13:02. | |
Holmes, a research fellow at the Sheffield alcohol research group at | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
the University of Sheffield. And Sarah Toole, head of research at the | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
world Cancer research fund. Jenny, it is your research, so tell us more | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
about you or concerns over alcohol and cancer. Which cancer | :13:17. | :13:19. | |
specifically are you linking alcohol to? I would just like to start by | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
saying that this was a review of the state of the evidence to date, so | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
the paper discusses the quality of the evidence linked to cancer and | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
finds the evidence of causation, but alcohol causes cancer is very | :13:42. | :13:46. | |
strong. The types of cancer that have been definitely link before, | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
cancers of the head and neck in particular, and cancer of the liver, | :13:53. | :14:01. | |
which is the best known. But also it is a common cause of bowel cancer | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
and breast cancer, those are causally linked to drinking. Explain | :14:05. | :14:12. | |
how strong the link is exactly. What I've done in this review is looked | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
at whole body of research that back many decades that links alcohol to | :14:18. | :14:27. | |
cancer, and what I've tried to do is examine alternative explanations for | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
these findings in a standard way. And you come to the conclusion when | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
you do that that there really is compelling evidence that these | :14:37. | :14:42. | |
associations described for some time represent a causal association. And | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
in the paper I have contrast of that to what you have just mentioned | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
about the idea that small amounts of alcohol are good for your heart. | :14:54. | :15:01. | |
When you look at the similar type of evidence for that association, it is | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
much less strong. Are you saying that any amount of alcohol could | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
cause cancer and people should not drink alcohol at all? Well, what the | :15:10. | :15:17. | |
evidence suggests is that there is no threshold. So although we are | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
familiar with the idea of drinking guidelines on keeping us at a safe | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
level of drinking, in fact, any amount of alcohol appears to | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
increase your risk somewhat of these types of cancer. Obviously the | :15:30. | :15:35. | |
highest risks are associated with the heaviest drinking and it is a | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
gradient of risk, so the less you drink, the lower the extra risk is. | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
But there is not a level at which you can feel confident that your | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
drinking is not contributing to the risk of cancer. | :15:47. | :15:51. | |
So you are saying that if you want to do what you can to minimise your | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
risk of cancer, you shouldn't drink anything? There is a reasonable | :15:58. | :16:05. | |
scientific consensus that if you want to find the safest level of | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
drinking, it's nothing. But people drink for other reasons. | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
So my advice would be for people to think about how much they are | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
drinking and to think about reducing how much they drink. But more | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
importantly, I would urge people who are interested in reducing the risk | :16:29. | :16:34. | |
of cancer to support policies at a population level that reduce | :16:35. | :16:35. | |
drinking across the whole population. That will make these | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
cancers arise less frequently. How do you work out when I cancer has | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
been caused, effectively, by alcohol or whether alcohol was a factor in | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
its? You are saying that 6% of all cancer deaths because of alcohol. | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
How do you arrive at that figure? That figure comes from a global | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
disease study. That is not a matter of assessing each cancer is being | :17:06. | :17:15. | |
caused by alcohol or not, it's about taking information about how much | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
people drink in a obligation, what the patterns of drinking are and the | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
information about how those patterns increase risk and calculating how | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
many of those deaths or cases of cancer would have been avoided if | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
nobody had drunk any alcohol at all. So we attribute those cases to the | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
drinking. We don't ascertain each case, because we cannot do that. Dr | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
John Holmes, you work at the Sheffield alcohol research group at | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
the University of Sheffield. What do you think about this research? It is | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
important that people are aware of the harm that alcohol can cause. We | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
have been doing some research with Cancer Research UK, which shows that | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
just 13% of people mention cancer when you ask them what harms can be | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
caused by alcohol. So people are not thinking about cancer as a potential | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
risk from heavy drinking or from drinking at all. That becomes more | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
remarkable when you look at the kinds of cancers that people link | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
alcohol too. If you ask people, does alcohol cause liver cancer? 'S view | :18:24. | :18:30. | |
your prompting them, and 80% of people say yes, it causes liver | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
cancer. But when you ask, does alcohol cause breast cancer, just | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
18% of people say it does. So there are big gaps in public awareness and | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
big variations in public awareness, depending on what cancer we are | :18:47. | :18:50. | |
talking about. If we are to make informed decisions about drinking, | :18:51. | :18:55. | |
if people are to use the thought process is Jennie has been talking | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
about, people need to be aware that this link exists. At the moment in | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
the UK, people don't seem to have that level of awareness. Sarah | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Toule, you are from the world Cancer research fund. What do you think | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
research should be? Our message for cancer project is, as the research | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
has said, not to drink any alcohol at all, because any amount will | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
increase your risk. But we do recognise that that is difficult. If | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
you are going to drink, follow the national guidelines, which were | :19:26. | :19:28. | |
recently reduced. The latest review showed that the harm from drinking | :19:29. | :19:31. | |
alcohol was more than previously thought. Just remind us, because it | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
gets so confusing with different guidelines. What are the official | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
guidelines? It used to be that there was a higher allowance for men | :19:41. | :19:43. | |
compared to women. They have now been brought down so that for both | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
men and women, it is 14 units a week, spread over at least three | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
days. We know it is difficult to understand what units are. So we | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
talk about the guidance in terms of the standard drinks we are used to | :19:57. | :20:02. | |
having. That equates to seven drinks a week maximum, spread over at least | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
three days. One thing people do not realise as well is that one drink is | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
equal to half a pint, not a pint. If you stuck to those guidelines, what | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
would that do to your level of cancer risk? It would still have an | :20:17. | :20:19. | |
impact on your cancer risk, because we have found that any alcohol | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
increases your risk, it is the level the government have found from the | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
review they did that is a threshold that, looking at all of health, | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
would be the safest limit if you are going to drink. But for cancer | :20:34. | :20:38. | |
specifically, we recommend that you do not drink at all, but we | :20:39. | :20:41. | |
recognise that that is difficult, so we have tips to reduce the alcohol | :20:42. | :20:46. | |
you drink. Jennie Connor, there are lots of factors that come into play | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
when somebody gets ill. We hear what you are saying about alcohol. Are | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
you saying there are cases of cancer where is the person had not drunk | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
any alcohol, they would not have got cancer? I am talking about | :21:01. | :21:07. | |
populations rather than individual people, but when it comes down to | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
who gets cancer and individual people, they are of course | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
individual people -- when it comes down to who gets cancer and who | :21:19. | :21:23. | |
doesn't. If there was less drink at a national level, there would be | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
fewer cases of cancer in that population. What is impossible to | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
predict is which of those cases would have been prevented, which | :21:32. | :21:36. | |
individuals would not have got the cancer. It is quite hard to get your | :21:37. | :21:45. | |
head around that when you are specifically linking it, not you | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
personally, but the research you have looked at is linking alcohol to | :21:49. | :21:59. | |
seven specific types of cancer. But then you are not able to say | :22:00. | :22:01. | |
categorically that alcohol would be a factor in every case and if | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
individuals who had got that cancer had not drunk alcohol, they would | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
not have got it? One of the things I have tried to discuss in the paper | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
was that part of the motivation of the paper was to try to clarify some | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
of these issues, not really for the public, but for professionals and | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
journalists and people who are interested in these areas so that we | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
can try to communicate this more clearly. But for individuals, there | :22:33. | :22:39. | |
are a number of causal factors that come together to cause cancer. It is | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
not usually going to be one thing on its own. Jonathan Holmes, does this | :22:45. | :22:53. | |
being put out there today in the way it has, is it helpful? Is there a | :22:54. | :22:58. | |
clear message that come through? I think so. We can increasingly see | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
the message that alcohol can increase your risk of cancer and can | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
cause cancer. This will help people think about how to moderate their | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
drinking, how much risk they are willing to take. And it also creates | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
a sense in Society of what moderate drinking is and whether, as a | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
society, we want to reduce the harm from drinking. Thank you all for | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
joining us. Zachary on Twitter says alcohol had health benefits, now it | :23:27. | :23:31. | |
is bad for you. What is the truth? Hopefully, that conversation has | :23:32. | :23:35. | |
enlightened you. Another says, the British are far too in love with | :23:36. | :23:38. | |
alcohol. It causes mayhem in society. Keep getting in touch. | :23:39. | :23:46. | |
Let's get the latest now on the argument within the Labour Party. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
This morning the leader Jeremy Corbyn has said he "deeply | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
regrets" comments by the Labour MP Angela Eagle, who said Mr Corbyn | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
had allowed a permissive environment for the abuse of MPs opposed to him. | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
Our Political Correspondent Iain Watson can explain more. | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
yes, Angela Eagle's constituency party has been suspended by the | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
Labour national executive for investigating claims of bullying, | :24:12. | :24:17. | |
intimidation and abuse. She herself has complained of homophobic abuse. | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
A brick was thrown through her constituency office window and she | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
was subject to a death threat and there has been an arrest, although | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
not in her area. The arrest took place in Scotland. In an interview | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
with the Telegraph, she seemed to be suggesting that that kind of | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
environment was being indulged by the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is a | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
permissive atmosphere he had rated the allowed that to take place. I | :24:39. | :24:41. | |
put those criticisms to him this morning, and this was what he said. | :24:42. | :24:45. | |
I regret that Angela has used comments like that. I regret the | :24:46. | :24:54. | |
incident at her office and I didn't apologise, because I didn't cause | :24:55. | :24:58. | |
it, but I said to her, I am sorry for what happened to her office. I | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
called her straightaway and told her that. I made it clear that | :25:02. | :25:08. | |
harassment, abuse of language has no place in our political discourse. I | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
received plenty of abusive language. I don't respond to it because I | :25:14. | :25:16. | |
don't wish to demean myself or promote the person using that | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
language. I think we should lower the temperature and increase the | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
quality of our debate. Jeremy Corbyn, perhaps suggesting | :25:24. | :25:32. | |
that Angela Eagle should rise above the abuse, as he says he ignores | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
criticism of him, as well he might, because the party seems very split | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
between the majority of Labour MPs at Westminster and an increasingly | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
left-wing membership. Jeremy Corbyn will be launching what he calls his | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
grassroots campaign in Salford tomorrow, but he has come in for | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
criticism from his own MPs about remarks he made yesterday suggesting | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
that perhaps there would be unopened selection procedure when boundary | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
guidelines were reduced. Usually, the MPs involved in those | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
constituencies sort it out amongst themselves. He seemed to be | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
suggesting something quite different. Labour's deputy leader | :26:16. | :26:17. | |
Harriet Harman denounced him not just for suggesting that yesterday, | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
but for talking about the whole issue of reselection is rather than | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
other things which Labour should be concentrating on. | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
People in the country want to see an effective opposition and a credible | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
alternative Labour government. The idea that we should be arguing | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
amongst ourselves about the rules of how MPs at the next general election | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
become candidates for the Labour Party, it is more evidence, I'm | :26:42. | :26:46. | |
afraid, that Jeremy Corbyn's leadership has failed and we need a | :26:47. | :26:48. | |
fresh start with Owen Smith. Not surprisingly, Harriet Harman is | :26:49. | :26:55. | |
endorsing Owen Smith rather than Jeremy Corbyn. I asked Jeremy Corbyn | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
about those criticisms, and he said he was simply repeating the existing | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
procedure in the Labour Party, which is that if more than 50% of members | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
in any constituency want unopened selection, it is up to them to ask | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
for it. He was not suggesting there should be a free for all and he was | :27:13. | :27:15. | |
not suggesting that he would sack his own MPs. | :27:16. | :27:19. | |
MPs say working practices in Sports Direct's warehouse | :27:20. | :27:30. | |
and shops were closer "to a Victorian workhouse | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
And MPs are warning that new measures to combat extremism | :27:33. | :27:36. | |
could be driving a wedge between communities and could be | :27:37. | :27:38. | |
We'll be hearing Muslim views on government policy. | :27:39. | :27:45. | |
Let's catch up with the news in the BBC newsroom. | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
The new Chancellor, Philip Hammond says he may have to "reset" | :27:51. | :27:53. | |
Britain's economic policy following the country's decision | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
at the start of a trip to China, as an index of business activity | :27:56. | :28:03. | |
suggests the UK economy is contracting at its steepest | :28:04. | :28:06. | |
Mr Hammond said he would review the economic situation | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
A damning report by MPs has accused Sports Direct of failing | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
to treat its employees as human beings. | :28:15. | :28:21. | |
The Business, Innovation and Skills Committee said working | :28:22. | :28:23. | |
practices in the company's warehouse and shops were closer | :28:24. | :28:26. | |
"to a Victorian workhouse than a high street retailer". | :28:27. | :28:28. | |
The Committee also said the company's boss, Mike Ashley, | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
should be held accountable for what it described as appalling | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
In the last half hour, it's been announced that the search | :28:34. | :28:40. | |
for missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 is to be suspended | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
if the plane is not found on completion of the current search. | :28:44. | :28:47. | |
The Malaysian transport minister says hopes are fading | :28:48. | :28:49. | |
of finding the plane, which vanished in 2014, | :28:50. | :28:51. | |
but insists it doesn't mean they're giving up completely on the search. | :28:52. | :28:54. | |
It follows calls from relatives of the missing to extend | :28:55. | :28:56. | |

Someone has to take drastic action over Isas. We cannot keep going down | :30:12. | :30:16. | |
this track, and camp looks like the person to do this. Another says, the | :30:17. | :30:21. | |

And I'll have more sport on BBC News. | :31:28. | :31:36. | |
We can return now to the news we brought you earlier - | :31:37. | :31:38. | |
an influential group of Lords and MPs has called on the government | :31:39. | :31:41. | |
to re-think a key part of its counter-extremism policy. | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
Parliament's Joint Committee on Human Rights said Theresa May | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
should review the controversial Prevent strategy, which is intended | :31:49. | :31:50. | |
to stop young Muslims from being radicalised. | :31:51. | :31:52. | |
In particular, the committee's report said conflicting duties | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
whilst at the same time preventing the expression of extremist views." | :31:58. | :32:09. | |
The report goes on to say that it's likely to cause | :32:10. | :32:11. | |
"uncertainty, particularly for university administrators." | :32:12. | :32:16. | |
So is should the government call time on Prevent and how difficult | :32:17. | :32:19. | |
is it really to enforce on university campuses? | :32:20. | :32:21. | |
We can chat now with Rupert Sutton at the Henry Jackson | :32:22. | :32:23. | |
Society's Student Rights, which campaigns to raise awareness | :32:24. | :32:26. | |
of extremism on University campuses, and Dr Arshad Isakjee, | :32:27. | :32:33. | |
from Birmingham University, who has looked at Muslim views | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
How much of an issue is extremism on campuses? Research shows there is a | :32:36. | :32:47. | |
number of factors around university campuses where extremism is an issue | :32:48. | :32:52. | |
both in conviction of students for terrorist offences and the number of | :32:53. | :32:56. | |
events we seek where speakers with extreme or intolerant views face no | :32:57. | :32:59. | |
challenge. There are other elements and we are seeing increases in far | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
right graffiti and activism in universities and it's also worth | :33:06. | :33:08. | |
considering that universities actually create quite fertile | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
environment for people to be radicalised regardless if they | :33:12. | :33:17. | |
attend those areas. People go through a transitional period in | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
their lives and it leaves them by rubble and isolated and easy prey | :33:22. | :33:25. | |
for recruiters. Where do you draw the line between freedom of speech | :33:26. | :33:30. | |
and something that does radicalise someone? Where is the evidence on | :33:31. | :33:34. | |
when somebody gets radicalised? Everybody's pathways different. What | :33:35. | :33:41. | |
Prevent looks to do is to give university 's advice and guidelines | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
on how to help their staff become most confident in identifying people | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
who are at risk of being radicalised, but also having | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
policies in place so when people are invited onto campus they have an | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
idea of how they can best mitigate the risk whilst ensuring the event | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
goes ahead, how they are best ensuring universities as place where | :34:02. | :34:04. | |
we see free speech and robust debate but at the same time students are | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
able to challenge speakers and neutral moderators ensure questions | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
are taken from both sides of the argument. In the cases where | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
speakers have a long history of extremism that there is somebody on | :34:17. | :34:18. | |
the panel who can challenge them from the same position of authority. | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
Doctor Arshad Isakjee, how do you see this point that is made by the | :34:25. | :34:29. | |
MPs and the Lords on the conflict potentially between the duty to | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
promote free speech while preventing extremist views being expressed? | :34:35. | :34:40. | |
They definitely have a point. I think Rupert is right in terms of | :34:41. | :34:44. | |
safeguarding young people, students and pupils and in schools from | :34:45. | :34:51. | |
various Harms, social harms including being radicalised but also | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
more mundane than normal things like the potential for mental health | :34:56. | :34:59. | |
difficulties or suspicions of abuse. That is something universities take | :35:00. | :35:03. | |
seriously and I think universities across the country do. In relation | :35:04. | :35:09. | |
to countering radicalisation, there is a real danger, especially with an | :35:10. | :35:16. | |
emphasis on nonviolent extremism that there would be too much | :35:17. | :35:20. | |
suspicion around dialogues that take place in relation to politics, in | :35:21. | :35:25. | |
relation to religion. Universities have a culture of openness and Mac | :35:26. | :35:29. | |
culture of openness is really important for the safeguarding of | :35:30. | :35:33. | |
young people and really important for lecturers and teachers in | :35:34. | :35:39. | |
schools, that if they spot signs of vulnerability in young people it is | :35:40. | :35:44. | |
important there is trust. Would individuals be banned from speaking | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
at your university because their views are unpalatable? Have they | :35:48. | :35:53. | |
been banned on that basis? To my knowledge, I don't think the | :35:54. | :35:55. | |
university bans people on the basis that their views were simply | :35:56. | :36:01. | |
unpalatable. But I think Rupert is right and you need to ensure that | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
voices are coming in and saying controversial things, that there is | :36:06. | :36:10. | |
a counter voice and counter narrative. But there is a | :36:11. | :36:13. | |
contradiction inherent in legislation and the contradiction in | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
the new Prevent strategy that says we need to be mindful and wary of | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
people who have views against democracy and the rule of law and | :36:23. | :36:27. | |
existing legislation in relation to universities that gives a statutory | :36:28. | :36:33. | |
legal responsibility to ensure that there is freedom of speech including | :36:34. | :36:39. | |
on issues where views against the norm, controversial views are | :36:40. | :36:44. | |
expressed and there are inherent contradictions between the | :36:45. | :36:47. | |
legislation and the new strategy and guidance being given. These | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
contradictions are inevitable when you try to police thought, in a way, | :36:52. | :36:59. | |
which is inherently not criminal. Rupert, do you think the balance is | :37:00. | :37:04. | |
right at the moment? I think challenging extremism on university | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
campuses and protecting freedom of speech is probably the most | :37:08. | :37:11. | |
difficult policy challenge any sector subject to the Prevent Judy | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
faces. I think the current legislation that exists has gone a | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
long way to make universities take the issue more seriously and in | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
terms of putting policies in place to make sure they are aware of what | :37:25. | :37:31. | |
is happening on campus and they have policies in place to mitigate risk. | :37:32. | :37:36. | |
Universities have to be aware of the need to be proportionate, and | :37:37. | :37:39. | |
something mentioned in the legislation and has been focused on | :37:40. | :37:44. | |
by government... Do you know how often universities pick out | :37:45. | :37:46. | |
individuals and deal with someone they think may be causing problems? | :37:47. | :37:51. | |
What they ideally need to be doing is making the same procedures go for | :37:52. | :37:56. | |
every event. I myself have spoken at events at universities where the | :37:57. | :38:01. | |
same procedures are applied to summary with a long history of | :38:02. | :38:05. | |
extreme views. You have do sign up to a document of rights and | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
responsibilities that the University holds as a policy. You have to | :38:09. | :38:12. | |
commit to speaking on a panel with someone who disagrees with you. You | :38:13. | :38:15. | |
have to commit to an open Q session. What we want to see is | :38:16. | :38:20. | |
universities putting the policies in place for all events, if we can, | :38:21. | :38:26. | |
where they touch on politics or any other contentious issue. Are you | :38:27. | :38:32. | |
aware of many students actually being picked out and questioned or | :38:33. | :38:39. | |
looked at specifically because their behaviour is giving rise to | :38:40. | :38:44. | |
concerns? At my institution I'm not aware of any such cases. But the | :38:45. | :38:47. | |
negative impacts can be more subtle than that. The negative impacts are | :38:48. | :38:53. | |
around the fact that pupils see cases such as the one at | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
Staffordshire University where someone is reading a book on | :38:58. | :39:00. | |
terrorism in the library, which is provided for the purpose of studying | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
the course, and he was escorted out because of the suspicion of a staff | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
member and then interviewed three times by counterterrorism police. | :39:10. | :39:12. | |
Incidents like that, and there was one in schools about this happening | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
there as well, the net effect of that is that parents can tell their | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
children and indeed students at universities can feel it is not | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
worth risking talking about politics or religion. The people it will | :39:27. | :39:31. | |
disproportionately affect those that are Muslim or, by virtue of their | :39:32. | :39:35. | |
ethnicity, might be construed as Muslim. So not necessarily | :39:36. | :39:42. | |
intentionally, there will be a discriminatory effect and | :39:43. | :39:44. | |
counter-productive one in terms of eroding Mac culture openness, | :39:45. | :39:51. | |
dialogue, that actually allows us to safeguard students in schools and | :39:52. | :39:55. | |
universities. Are you concerned about division among students at | :39:56. | :39:59. | |
your university? I'm concerned the legislation will affect students | :40:00. | :40:02. | |
disproportionally in different ways, those that don't necessarily fear | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
that they will be at risk might not be affected that much, but those who | :40:10. | :40:12. | |
do feel they might be under suspicion, they will regulate their | :40:13. | :40:16. | |
views to a way which is unhelpful. I have colleagues at the University of | :40:17. | :40:23. | |
Birmingham that run excellent courses which really look at the | :40:24. | :40:26. | |
sort of dividing lines, those thin lines between freedom of expression | :40:27. | :40:30. | |
on one hand, a fence on the other, and those dialogues take place | :40:31. | :40:36. | |
between experts and really engage the students. That constitutes a | :40:37. | :40:41. | |
really important social Forum for discussions to take place that | :40:42. | :40:48. | |
liberal values and discussions at universities. If those things are | :40:49. | :40:51. | |
threatened by legislation, we have to look again at the proposed | :40:52. | :40:56. | |
legislation and guidance given to universities. Arshad Isakjee and | :40:57. | :41:03. | |
Rupert Sutton, thank you very much. Bringing you some of your comments | :41:04. | :41:04. | |
on alcohol and it's link to cancer. It | :41:05. | :41:14. | |
is linked to seven cancer. Don't you think it's devastating enough to be | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
told who have cancer and to be told all of these things that can cause | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
it? We cannot ignore findings but it seems just being alive can | :41:22. | :41:26. | |
contribute to having cancer. Dave says that moderate drinking in | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
social settings is beneficial. The daily alcohol limits are absurd. Tim | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
says, alcohol is a class a drug that would be banned if it hit the | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
streets today. Ian on Twit that said it would be a serious drink problem | :41:41. | :41:46. | |
that would cause cancer. Everything is linked to cancer, you drink too | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
many soft drinks, Gareth Fry up, if you smoke, drink, everything -- if | :41:50. | :41:56. | |
you have a fry up. When people say Donald Trump is not afraid to speak | :41:57. | :41:59. | |
his mind mostly what they mean is he's not afraid be racist. Dan on | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
Twitter says the trump policies are nothing short of revolutionary but | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
the government and media hate this so they report on him only | :42:09. | :42:09. | |
negatively. Chris King lost both of his hands | :42:10. | :42:24. | |
involving an incident with a metal pressing machine. He received two | :42:25. | :42:27. | |
new hands from a donor and says the operation has given him a new lease | :42:28. | :42:32. | |
of life. Simon Kay, part of the team responsible for the transplant says | :42:33. | :42:41. | |
he is delighted with the results. He was working on a press and then he | :42:42. | :42:45. | |
pushed the material in and it came down and amputated his hands, both | :42:46. | :42:48. | |
of them across this line from the base of the thumb across to the | :42:49. | :42:55. | |
wrist. He retained his thumb but he lost everything else. Furthermore, | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
it was sloping away so he had nothing to work his thumbs against. | :43:01. | :43:04. | |
We saw him two years ago and began evaluating him then. Just over ten | :43:05. | :43:11. | |
days ago, in the last ten days, he underwent a hand transplant. It is | :43:12. | :43:15. | |
the first time we have done that in the UK and it's the first time, as | :43:16. | :43:20. | |
far as I'm aware that hand transplants have been done that has | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
not been above the wrist, but within the substance of the hand which | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
makes it more difficult and complex. So as far as I know, that is a | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
unique feature. Nobody cares what their kidney looks like as long as | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
it works, but not only do we have to match the hands in the same way we | :43:39. | :43:42. | |
would have to match the kidneys and livers, they have to look | :43:43. | :43:45. | |
appropriate, because the hands-on view the whole time, so in a way, | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
that makes the job of finding the correct donor even harder. There's a | :43:51. | :43:56. | |
good reason why we are asking people to bear this in mind when making a | :43:57. | :44:02. | |
donation. Because hand transplantation is such a new thing, | :44:03. | :44:07. | |
people have been slow to donate and we have had many opportunities to | :44:08. | :44:10. | |
ask the donations that had not been given, and I think that's entirely | :44:11. | :44:14. | |
understandable. I think I should emphasise that the people you work | :44:15. | :44:19. | |
for the NHS transplant services have a difficult job of asking for | :44:20. | :44:22. | |
donations at the time of death a loved one. It's extraordinary | :44:23. | :44:28. | |
difficult to them to make that decision, but now that hand | :44:29. | :44:30. | |
transplantation is a reality and people can see the good it does, I | :44:31. | :44:35. | |
hope they will consider making that donation as readily as they do | :44:36. | :44:40. | |
liver, kidney and heart. When all the structures that pass into the | :44:41. | :44:43. | |
hand go against the wrist, they split into small structures to | :44:44. | :44:48. | |
provide each digit with its nerves, arteries and veins and tendons. Each | :44:49. | :44:55. | |
of those has to be repaired individually. We had eight surgeons | :44:56. | :45:00. | |
for 12 hours working on this with a volunteer team of 15 people. So it | :45:01. | :45:06. | |
was a long and quite a complex day. Chris is doing really well. We are | :45:07. | :45:13. | |
in the first ten days still. And the measure of success, and it's | :45:14. | :45:16. | |
interesting you ask me about movement, because everybody latches | :45:17. | :45:20. | |
onto movement but it's very important that he regains the | :45:21. | :45:25. | |
feeling as well, and I would anticipate and expect he will regain | :45:26. | :45:28. | |
very good movement and very good feeling. Movement at his level of | :45:29. | :45:35. | |
transplantation, we should anticipate, should be very good | :45:36. | :45:42. | |
function. Sensation is related to age, and those of us over 16 don't | :45:43. | :45:48. | |
recover as well as those over 16, but -- and those under 16 but he is | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
a healthy manner. There is a huge psychological aspect and the | :45:54. | :45:57. | |
screening process we undertake is a psychological screening to make sure | :45:58. | :46:00. | |
the patient understands the concept and they are prepared to commit to | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
it and they are reliable and take their medications and go through the | :46:05. | :46:07. | |
programme. They will rehabilitate the way they need to do. That is | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
very important, and then the psychological impact of having Hans | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
or not having hands is very great, because like the face they are on | :46:17. | :46:20. | |
view all the time and you look and judge people's hands for what they | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
say in what they do and what they tell you about the person. So | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
Chris's most rewarding commented ages that he feels whole again, and | :46:32. | :46:33. | |
that is incredibly important. The search for the missing Malaysia | :46:34. | :46:45. | |
Airlines flight MH370 is to be suspended if the plane is not found | :46:46. | :46:48. | |
in the current Dutch area. The plane disappeared Billy two and half years | :46:49. | :46:54. | |
ago. Ministers from Malaysia, China and nearby said the search would not | :46:55. | :47:05. | |
end, but would be suspended. Today, in the absence of credible new | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
evidence, Australia, China and Malaysia have collectively decided | :47:10. | :47:23. | |
to suspend the search upon the completion of the 120,000 square | :47:24. | :47:26. | |
kilometres search area. I must emphasise that this does not mean | :47:27. | :47:37. | |
that we have given up on locating MH370. Let's go live to Sydney and | :47:38. | :47:43. | |
talk to Phil Mercer. He is saying they have not given up, but they | :47:44. | :47:46. | |
have thrown so much at trying to find it and after two and a half | :47:47. | :47:49. | |
years, they have still come up with nothing. Yes, this is a question of | :47:50. | :47:56. | |
wording, really. Ministers from China, Australia and Malaysia were | :47:57. | :47:59. | |
meeting in Kuala Lumpur, saying the search will be suspended until such | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
time as any credible new information turns up. But if you look at the | :48:05. | :48:12. | |
cold, hard reality, 120,000 square kilometres of the southern Indian | :48:13. | :48:14. | |
Ocean is the current searches are, and more than 110 thousandths where | :48:15. | :48:22. | |
kilometres have so far been searched by underwater teams led by | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
Australia. That is more than 90% of the zone that has been scoured, and | :48:27. | :48:31. | |
still no clues, nothing to indicate that the Boeing 777 came down in | :48:32. | :48:36. | |
that area. So you would have to say that once this search area is | :48:37. | :48:40. | |
complete, that will be it. And there was something -- unless something | :48:41. | :48:45. | |
extra returns up and there are clues that have so far eluded the search | :48:46. | :48:51. | |
teams in Australia. Obviously, they will be very hard for the loved ones | :48:52. | :48:56. | |
of those on the plane to hear. What reaction has there been? One would | :48:57. | :49:02. | |
imagine that the agony that began in March 2014 continues for many of | :49:03. | :49:05. | |
those relatives of the 239 passengers and crew. They left on | :49:06. | :49:11. | |
what was at the time a routine flight from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia | :49:12. | :49:16. | |
to Beijing in China. According to satellite information, the plane | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
veered off course in a fairly spectacular fashion and came down | :49:22. | :49:25. | |
somewhere in the southern Indian Ocean. That is why the search has | :49:26. | :49:30. | |
been concentrated in that area. But once again, no clues in the search | :49:31. | :49:36. | |
zone have found. Debris has been recovered many thousands of | :49:37. | :49:40. | |
kilometres away on various islands. So this is not only the greatest and | :49:41. | :49:45. | |
most distressing aviation mystery of modern times, it's also the most | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
expensive. Millions of pounds have been ploughed into this search | :49:49. | :49:54. | |
effort, but still, nothing has turned up. But one thing is for | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
certain, that the relatives of the missing passengers and crew don't | :49:59. | :50:01. | |
want anything to end until the mystery is finally solved. | :50:02. | :50:08. | |
And have accused one of Europe's biggest retailers of not treating | :50:09. | :50:17. | |
its workers like humans. -- MPs have accused the retailer. Evidence shown | :50:18. | :50:20. | |
to the Business, Innovation and Skills committee suggested Sports | :50:21. | :50:23. | |
Direct's working practices were similar to those of a Victorian | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
workhouse, one MP said. The committee's report states that | :50:28. | :50:30. | |
Sports Direct founder Mike Ashley must be held accountable for company | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
failings. Sports Direct is this morning that it is studying the | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
report and says it treats its staff with dignity and respect. Some of | :50:38. | :50:40. | |
the practices at the Sports Direct warehouse were highlighted in the | :50:41. | :50:44. | |
BBC programme Inside Out. Here is a tip. | :50:45. | :50:46. | |
It feels like something out of Dickens, the old workhouse, | :50:47. | :50:48. | |
I mean, the only thing they didn't do is walk around with big sticks | :50:49. | :50:53. | |
Tannoy system always, names being called out, | :50:54. | :50:55. | |
All the injuries, minor injuries would come through reception. | :50:56. | :51:06. | |
Lots of the injuries were either hand injuries, | :51:07. | :51:09. | |
where they'd been trapped between cages, ankle injuries. | :51:10. | :51:11. | |
After a while, it got to be another normal. | :51:12. | :51:19. | |
Stewart says he was asked to collect bottles of urine from the warehouse. | :51:20. | :51:24. | |
He believes workers were worried they would be penalised for taking | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
Finding urine in bottles in the warehouse, because they've | :51:28. | :51:34. | |
been told they can't go to the toilet | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
That should not happen in this day and age. | :51:38. | :51:47. | |
Sports Direct boss Mike Ashley did appear before the committee last | :51:48. | :51:50. | |
month after initially being reluctant to attend. On the day, his | :51:51. | :52:00. | |
answers were very candid. What we had was that if you were a minute | :52:01. | :52:05. | |
late, you got docked 15 minutes of play. I think that is unacceptable. | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
If I thought it was acceptable, I wouldn't change it. So you say, | :52:11. | :52:19. | |
there are some of the stuff we should be up to get through | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
ourselves. We welcome what you have said. Have you changed but practised | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
now? As I understand it, we have. I don't physically do it. It is like | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
the minutes, I am now terrified we haven't done it. I say, that doesn't | :52:35. | :52:43. | |
sound fair or reasonable. Either way, I am not Father Christmas. I am | :52:44. | :52:48. | |
not going to make the world wonderful. You just have to try and | :52:49. | :52:53. | |
get a balanced view and say as an individual, would you tolerate that? | :52:54. | :52:56. | |
Is that fair? If I believe it is in, I change it. Could I just ask in | :52:57. | :53:02. | |
terms of the docking of 15 minutes pay if you are a minute late, who | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
set that up? I honestly don't know. I don't know when that started. It | :53:08. | :53:12. | |
definitely wasn't a policy I put in, because I don't believe it is fair. | :53:13. | :53:19. | |
Thank you. Is one of my kids went to work somewhere and they were two | :53:20. | :53:24. | |
minutes late and got fined 15 minutes' pay, I would think that was | :53:25. | :53:25. | |
unreasonable. Cerys 30 is the producer of the BBC | :53:26. | :53:34. | |
Inside Out expose a into the warehouse operation at Shire Brooke, | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
a clip of which you just saw. Also with me is Hannah Reid, senior | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
employment officer for the TUC union. Sarah, tell us more about | :53:43. | :53:48. | |
what you uncovered? Some of the key elements were brought out in the 30 | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
page report which was published this morning by day business select | :53:53. | :53:58. | |
committee of MPs. A key element of that is the strike system. This is a | :53:59. | :54:04. | |
disciplinary code which involves a penalty for things like a period of | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
reported sickness. So a possible consequence of that is that people | :54:09. | :54:14. | |
are actually going to work as a pick-up or packer in this massive | :54:15. | :54:19. | |
warehouse operation at Shire Bridge in Derbyshire, when actually, they | :54:20. | :54:24. | |
should probably be getting better at home or visiting the doctor. We have | :54:25. | :54:27. | |
a family who had experienced such a situation. In the first paragraph of | :54:28. | :54:37. | |
this report, the MPs are clear in making plain their concern about | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
this strike system, six strikes and you're out. When used the words used | :54:42. | :54:47. | |
like extremely disturbing, appalling conditions, you can see that the | :54:48. | :54:52. | |
committee is taking what is happening at Sports Direct extremely | :54:53. | :54:55. | |
seriously. It has not pulled any punches with the report. Other | :54:56. | :55:02. | |
elements that were part of the programme, the Freedom of | :55:03. | :55:05. | |
Information requests, the nature and number of reported accident which | :55:06. | :55:12. | |
have to be reported to the local enforcement authority, and also the | :55:13. | :55:16. | |
number of ambulance calls, almost 80 in two years, but not for accidents, | :55:17. | :55:23. | |
primarily for health issues. These unusual elements have been brought | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
out by the report. It is clear that the committee is not going to let | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
this go. A spokesperson for Sports Direct has said, we will study the | :55:33. | :55:36. | |
contents of the report carefully. It is our policy to treat all our | :55:37. | :55:41. | |
people with respect. We are pleased to see that the committee has | :55:42. | :55:44. | |
recognised Mike Ashley's commitment to address any shortcomings. Hannah | :55:45. | :55:49. | |
Reid, you are from the TUC union. We heard Sarah describing what the MPs | :55:50. | :55:56. | |
have been talking about Sports Direct. Mike Ashley says he is | :55:57. | :56:03. | |
changing things. Are you happy that things are changing? It is obviously | :56:04. | :56:08. | |
welcome that the committee has come out with this report, but it's very | :56:09. | :56:10. | |
important that Mike Ashley now drives forward serious change in | :56:11. | :56:14. | |
terms of his employment practices. One of the major problems at Sports | :56:15. | :56:18. | |
Direct is that such a high proportion of staff are employed on | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
very vulnerable contracts. As a result, people are frightened to | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
speak out. We would like to see Mike Ashley calling in trade unions, | :56:29. | :56:36. | |
particularly Unite, to talk about how to offer better contracts. Are | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
you seeing evidence that things are changing? When he spoke to the MPs, | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
he was clear in saying that certain things were unacceptable and they | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
would be changed. Hopefully, they will be changed. But are you hearing | :56:51. | :56:54. | |
any evidence that things are changing? There is evidence of some | :56:55. | :57:00. | |
conversations taking place, but our major concern is that Sports Direct | :57:01. | :57:03. | |
gives us one example of the culture of casualisation that has grown up | :57:04. | :57:10. | |
in the UK. Yes, this is a very bad example, but we are worried that | :57:11. | :57:13. | |
increasingly in other workplaces as well, employers are using more | :57:14. | :57:16. | |
insecure contracts, meaning people are more vulnerable and may be | :57:17. | :57:23. | |
subject to expectation. Is a light being shone on that? Certainly, the | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
role of the trade unions is to place a spotlight on these cactuses. In | :57:29. | :57:34. | |
the MPs' report today, it says what it takes about Sports Direct and is | :57:35. | :57:40. | |
calling people to account. And that is welcome, but it is important now | :57:41. | :57:44. | |
that Sports Direct bring about real change. We would also encourage the | :57:45. | :57:49. | |
government to engage in a serious conversation to ensure that we no | :57:50. | :57:52. | |
longer just have a labour market based on insecure jobs, but also | :57:53. | :57:57. | |
that people are offered greater job security, guaranteed hours, | :57:58. | :57:59. | |
certainty intends of their pay rates. And we would take to workers | :58:00. | :58:05. | |
in these workplaces, do join a trade union. Thank you very much. | :58:06. | :58:08. | |
