:01:21. > :01:27.how closely you'll be the next few weeks -

:01:28. > :01:31.will you be staying up into the early hours

:01:40. > :01:43.The head of the independent inquiry into child sexual

:01:44. > :01:46.abuse has resigned. Dame Lowell Goddard is the third

:01:47. > :01:48.chairwoman to step down The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd,

:01:49. > :01:54.insists the wide-ranging inquiry - which has 13 investigations

:01:55. > :01:56.in England and Wales - Groups representing victims say

:01:57. > :01:59.a replacement must Our legal correspondent

:02:00. > :02:08.Clive Coleman reports. Following the resignation of two

:02:09. > :02:12.former chairwomen, New Zealand judge was appointed by the then

:02:13. > :02:17.Home Secretary Theresa May to be the steadying hand needed

:02:18. > :02:19.on the inquiry that many thought had lost its way

:02:20. > :02:22.before it had even started. Set up in the wake of

:02:23. > :02:25.the Jimmy Savile scandal, it was to be a vast,

:02:26. > :02:28.wide-ranging inquiry that would examine child abuse in public

:02:29. > :02:31.bodies and private organisations Today, she faced press criticism

:02:32. > :02:36.that during her first year, she spent three months

:02:37. > :02:40.away from the inquiry. A spokesperson said she had been

:02:41. > :02:43.on inquiry business and remained Her resignation is the latest

:02:44. > :02:50.setback for the inquiry, The first chair, Baroness Butler

:02:51. > :02:56.Sloss, was appointed in July 2014, Dame Fiona Woolf was appointed

:02:57. > :03:02.in September that year. She stood down less

:03:03. > :03:04.than two months later. Like her predecessor,

:03:05. > :03:06.she was criticised for being too Justice Lowell Goddard was appointed

:03:07. > :03:12.in February last year, In a statement, the

:03:13. > :03:31.Home Secretary said... With Justice Goddard's departure,

:03:32. > :03:33.the inquiry is in crisis. Who now will be prepared

:03:34. > :03:36.to take on a role so many We'll take a closer look at this

:03:37. > :03:46.story just after ten this morning. Julian Worriker is in the BBC

:03:50. > :03:54.in central London on Wednesday night with her husband -

:03:55. > :04:03.they were due to fly A 19-year-old Norwegian man

:04:04. > :04:11.of Somali origin remains in custody. With us now is Ben Ando

:04:12. > :04:20.who is in Russell Square. bring us up on the developments

:04:21. > :04:24.overnight. Here in Russell Square the police tape has gone and the

:04:25. > :04:27.cordons have been lifted and the forensic officers are done their

:04:28. > :04:35.work and the only sign of the awful events of Wednesday are the flowers

:04:36. > :04:40.paying tribute. One has a stars and stripes flag, a card addressed to

:04:41. > :04:45.the family of the lady and another from the American women's club of

:04:46. > :04:50.London. Nearly all of them I'm sure left by people who did not know her

:04:51. > :04:54.but wanted to pay their condolences and respects. Her husband, a

:04:55. > :05:00.psychology professor at Florida State University, the University has

:05:01. > :05:04.released a statement expressing its heartache over this terrible tragedy

:05:05. > :05:08.and saying they will support the family as much as they can. There

:05:09. > :05:12.were others injured in the attack, one was a British man who is still

:05:13. > :05:19.in hospital with serious but stable injuries. The suspect in custody, a

:05:20. > :05:25.19-year-old man who came from Norway in 2002, Norwegian police are

:05:26. > :05:29.helping the Met here and we understand that the police can hold

:05:30. > :05:34.him until about lunchtime today at which point they will have to either

:05:35. > :05:36.go to court to get an extension or decide whether to charge him, bail

:05:37. > :05:41.him or release him. Thank you. The candidates for the Labour Party

:05:42. > :05:43.leadership clashed in Cardiff in their first head-to-head

:05:44. > :05:46.debate last night. Owen Smith said Labour

:05:47. > :05:48.is failing to provide a "powerful, credible opposition"

:05:49. > :05:50.to the Conservative government, while leader Jeremy Corbyn said

:05:51. > :05:52.the disunity in the party is a result of the resignations

:05:53. > :05:55.of his opponents and others The car maker Renault-Nissan says it

:05:56. > :06:06.won't make investment decisions about its plants in Britain,

:06:07. > :06:09.until details emerge about a new The firm's chief executive,

:06:10. > :06:15.Carlos Goshan, told BBC News that he's "reasonably optimistic" that

:06:16. > :06:17.common sense will prevail - but the firm needs to see the shape

:06:18. > :06:21.of a new deal before deciding whether to invest more money

:06:22. > :06:23.in its Sunderland plant, Researchers say they've made

:06:24. > :06:30.a promising step forward in the search for a vaccination

:06:31. > :06:32.against the Zika virus. A team of American military

:06:33. > :06:34.scientists has found that experimental vaccines can protect

:06:35. > :06:41.against the virus in monkeys. Here's our health

:06:42. > :06:44.correspondent, Jane Draper. Zika has caused huge

:06:45. > :06:46.concern in Brazil ahead The virus is linked to serious birth

:06:47. > :06:54.defects in pregnancy, and it has been declared a global

:06:55. > :06:58.public health emergency. So the race is on to find a safe

:06:59. > :07:05.and effective vaccine. These researchers have already

:07:06. > :07:08.shown their work could ward Now they have demonstrated that

:07:09. > :07:15.the jab can work in 20 monkeys too. They tested three types of vaccine,

:07:16. > :07:18.two with genes from Zika, and one which was an inactive

:07:19. > :07:20.replica of the virus. This is certainly encouraging news

:07:21. > :07:30.for people at risk from Zika virus. We have the laboratory and animal

:07:31. > :07:40.experiments, and now we need to undertake the much more rigorous

:07:41. > :07:43.and detailed clinical Up to ten and 12

:07:44. > :07:47.years in some cases. Miami is also feeling

:07:48. > :07:50.the effects of Zika, with more than a dozen cases

:07:51. > :07:54.detected in the past week. Healthy volunteers are taking part

:07:55. > :07:57.in trials of two other potential But it's likely to be at least two

:07:58. > :08:15.years before any jab Six British tourists are still being

:08:16. > :08:19.treated in hospital after the minibus they were travelling in was

:08:20. > :08:24.attacked by the Taliban in Afghanistan. The group also included

:08:25. > :08:28.three US citizens and one German and was being escorted by Afghan army

:08:29. > :08:30.personnel to the Western province before they were ambushed.

:08:31. > :08:32.Residents on two streets in Bridlington are being told

:08:33. > :08:35.to stay away from their homes for a second day after illegal

:08:36. > :08:39.A cordon has been put back in place around the streets,

:08:40. > :08:42.after being temporarily lifted last night.

:08:43. > :08:45.Humberside Police say more tests need to be carried out and a bomb

:08:46. > :08:58.The largely taxpayer-owned Royal Bank of Scotland has announced

:08:59. > :09:00.losses of more than ?2 billion for the first

:09:01. > :09:06.A ?1 billion repayment to the government

:09:07. > :09:08.and an extension to the deadline for PPI claims were

:09:09. > :09:12.Plans to create a stand-alone bank under the name Williams

:09:13. > :09:28.What does this tell us about the state of the bag? It tells us that

:09:29. > :09:33.RBS is trying to restructure itself at a time when the banking business

:09:34. > :09:36.is very difficult to operate -- the state of the bank. Interest rates

:09:37. > :09:40.are low which has pressures on profitability and the economic

:09:41. > :09:45.environment is also quite unsettled and RBS is struggling. That said, if

:09:46. > :09:51.you strip away the one-off legacy items linked to problems with PPI

:09:52. > :09:56.and the rights issue in 2008 which has cost it more than ?1 billion, it

:09:57. > :10:00.is actually still profitable or that its profits are about half of what

:10:01. > :10:03.they were this time last year. But they are operating in a difficult

:10:04. > :10:05.environment, trying to restructure and that is having an effect. Thank

:10:06. > :10:08.you. Large private foster agencies have

:10:09. > :10:15.been criticised for poaching foster to work for them, rather

:10:16. > :10:19.than local authorities. The Association of Directors

:10:20. > :10:21.of Children's Services says some agencies then charge councils almost

:10:22. > :10:23.double the amount for Jan and Tony Hester have seven

:10:24. > :10:32.children of their own, but over the past 11 years,

:10:33. > :10:34.have fostered another 50 children. Jan works as a foster carer

:10:35. > :10:38.for the local council. It's opening my home up to children

:10:39. > :10:41.that need a home, a family, And it was just something

:10:42. > :10:52.that we did sort of fall into, but it just happened

:10:53. > :10:54.and it felt right. I couldn't imagine

:10:55. > :11:04.doing anything else. Some independent agencies

:11:05. > :11:06.are not-for-profit, but the eight largest agencies made around

:11:07. > :11:09.?41 million in profit last year. Some of those are offering carers

:11:10. > :11:15.like Jan ?2000 or ?3000 to transfer from the local authority

:11:16. > :11:17.to their organisation. Councils say they can end up

:11:18. > :11:20.paying almost double We really object strongly

:11:21. > :11:28.to these golden hellos, where, to be honest,

:11:29. > :11:30.as a local authority, we are recruiting and training

:11:31. > :11:33.and supporting these foster carers, and that costs us a lot of money,

:11:34. > :11:41.and we are very committed to that. Then these agencies come along

:11:42. > :11:44.with a golden hello and take our foster carers,

:11:45. > :11:46.and we are out of pocket massively. We think that is immoral and wrong,

:11:47. > :11:50.and it ought to be stopped The Nationwide Association

:11:51. > :11:53.of Foster and Providers says there are discrepancies with the way

:11:54. > :11:55.councils compare in-house And often carers transfer

:11:56. > :12:00.for the child's benefit. The government has announced

:12:01. > :12:03.a review of foster care in England and soon Jan will start training

:12:04. > :12:06.other therapeutic carers in the hope that more will open their homes

:12:07. > :12:20.to children in need in the future. That is a summary of the latest news

:12:21. > :12:27.and we will have more at 9:30am. Don't forget to get in touch, and if

:12:28. > :12:31.you do text you will be charged as the standard network rate. Let's get

:12:32. > :12:37.the sport now with John Watson and the big day is here, years of

:12:38. > :12:42.preparation, is Rio ready? Good morning. It is all about the

:12:43. > :12:46.Olympics. The opening ceremony is tonight and with so much talk in the

:12:47. > :12:51.lead up to the game is about doping, we thought we would touch on what

:12:52. > :12:54.the Olympics is all about. Our guest this one is Derek Redmond, who

:12:55. > :13:01.competed at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics. Thank you for joining us.

:13:02. > :13:04.We will look ahead to Rio in a moment but first, talking about a

:13:05. > :13:10.moment which embodies what the Olympics is all about, what happened

:13:11. > :13:17.to you in 1992. Explain what happened. It was the semifinal of

:13:18. > :13:25.the men's 400 metres, I had won the first two rounds and about halfway

:13:26. > :13:29.down the back straight I heard a pop and a few strides later I felt some

:13:30. > :13:32.pain and realised I had pulled my hamstring which is not the best time

:13:33. > :13:38.for that to happen for obvious reasons! It was a hugely emotional

:13:39. > :13:46.moment. We saw your dad join you on the track to complete your lap. What

:13:47. > :13:51.was going through your mind then? To be honest, after I pulled my

:13:52. > :13:54.hamstring I decide to complete the race and what made me do that was

:13:55. > :14:00.because I thought I could still qualify for the final. You need to

:14:01. > :14:07.be physically and mentally fit. As I hobbled around, my dad join me. I

:14:08. > :14:12.just want to finish the race at that stage. I heard a familiar voice

:14:13. > :14:17.saying, you don't need to do this, and I said, I do, and he said we

:14:18. > :14:21.will finish it together. It might not have been the moment you would

:14:22. > :14:24.want to have remembered for those Olympics, I am sure you would have

:14:25. > :14:29.wanted a medal but a hugely significant moment and I guess we

:14:30. > :14:35.have seen it for many years afterwards, in some ways it is a

:14:36. > :14:40.special memory. For me it was the worst moment of my life at that time

:14:41. > :14:44.and was not thinking 24 years in advance and what everybody else

:14:45. > :14:55.thought! You could almost say it was a selfish act to finish the race for

:14:56. > :15:00.me but 24 years later almost the day -- to the day, I can't believe it

:15:01. > :15:05.amazes me the of people that get something from that image and people

:15:06. > :15:10.who were not even born then, there was an image that my wife showed me

:15:11. > :15:17.on Facebook that had 8.1 million views, it is now at 40 million views

:15:18. > :15:20.24 hours later, so it is unbelievable, the Amat the people

:15:21. > :15:26.who can get something from that moment.

:15:27. > :15:32.A hugely emotional moment and it brings people to tears now. Doping

:15:33. > :15:37.can overshadow this game and might have been threatening to do so. What

:15:38. > :15:41.was the process like in your day and has it improved significantly enough

:15:42. > :15:47.for today? I will answer the second question first. Has it improved?

:15:48. > :15:50.Yes, it has but the drugs are improving and we have a situation

:15:51. > :15:55.where the bad guys once the bed of the good guys. It was no different

:15:56. > :16:00.in my day -- one step ahead of the good guys. What they are testing for

:16:01. > :16:05.now is changing because the substances have changed along the

:16:06. > :16:11.way. But it has been pretty robust and severe. In a major competition,

:16:12. > :16:15.the medallists are tested and there will be one random person in the

:16:16. > :16:17.race also tested. In a final of eight people, half of them will be

:16:18. > :16:25.tested. The first three plus another. This all comes as Lizzie

:16:26. > :16:28.Armistead has given a hugely emotional interview to the BBC and

:16:29. > :16:34.says she fears nobody will believe she is a clean athlete after missing

:16:35. > :16:37.three drugs tests which could have led to a ban from the Olympics. This

:16:38. > :16:42.is what she had to say. People are going to judge me and my family and

:16:43. > :16:52.I would never cheat, in any walk of life. And like you say, people will

:16:53. > :16:58.think I am a treat for the rest of my life, and that is because of not

:16:59. > :17:05.taking the form -- ticking a box of form I don't make -- want to sound

:17:06. > :17:08.like it is trivial, and I should take this more seriously and higher

:17:09. > :17:13.than anyone else but something happened to me and my family that I

:17:14. > :17:17.couldn't control that is more important to me than cycling. I am

:17:18. > :17:21.not at the point of accepting it yet, but I will have to come to a

:17:22. > :17:29.point of people accepting it about me for ever. So, it's about me and

:17:30. > :17:34.my family. And she will of course compete in the women's road race on

:17:35. > :17:39.Sunday. Hugely emotional hearing from her. Do you have some sympathy

:17:40. > :17:43.for her? This is far from ideal preparations are going into a huge

:17:44. > :17:47.event this weekend. Far from ideal and the last thing any athlete needs

:17:48. > :17:51.on their mind. Do I have some sympathy? I have a bit of sympathy.

:17:52. > :17:56.We are talking three tests and she is a professional sports person. I

:17:57. > :18:00.am not condoning that fact or saying she is guilty of taking drugs, but

:18:01. > :18:05.we know the scenario and the story. We all know the procedure. I know

:18:06. > :18:08.she said the third Test was because of a family situation which she does

:18:09. > :18:17.not want to die bulge and that is her right, -- die bulge. People will

:18:18. > :18:20.think that and we have become numb to the fact that people say it was

:18:21. > :18:26.not them when they are caught and then years later we find out that

:18:27. > :18:30.that they were dirty. It's going to be really tough for her. And even

:18:31. > :18:34.that half an interview she has given, how many times have we seen

:18:35. > :18:38.children go missing and the parents on TV crying and we find out they

:18:39. > :18:46.had something to do with it. I'm not Richie has done it but it will be

:18:47. > :18:52.half for the public to accept those emotions because three missed tests,

:18:53. > :18:59.one, OK, two, but three? That is a tough pill to swallow. Derek, thank

:19:00. > :19:02.you for your time this morning, much appreciated. Reliving the moment

:19:03. > :19:07.when you are competing in the 1992 Olympics. That is all the sport for

:19:08. > :19:09.now. I will have more for you at around 9:30am and the rest of the

:19:10. > :19:12.day's board. Thanks, John. It's the biggest sporting event

:19:13. > :19:15.in the world and tonight the 2016 Olympics will formally begin

:19:16. > :19:17.with the opening ceremony More than 10,000 athletes from 206

:19:18. > :19:23.countries will take part. But the event has been overshadowed

:19:24. > :19:25.by Brazil's political and economic crisis as well as the doping

:19:26. > :19:29.scandal involving Russia. Last night, the International

:19:30. > :19:30.Olympic Committee said would be allowed to compete,

:19:31. > :20:01.that's around 70% Tonight the athletes will parade

:20:02. > :20:02.around the Maracana Stadium in what is promised to be

:20:03. > :20:03.a four-hour spectacular In 17 days of action,

:20:04. > :20:04.sports men and women will compete for 4,924 medals in 42

:20:05. > :20:05.different disciplines. Two of those going for gold will be

:20:06. > :20:08.Team GB trampolinist Kat Driscoll They will be filming

:20:09. > :20:09.their Olympic journey for the Victoria

:20:10. > :20:12.Derbyshire programme. COMMENTATOR: The first

:20:13. > :20:13.two British athletes who cross the line here today

:20:14. > :20:14.will guarantee their What a dream come true that will be

:20:15. > :20:21.for Aly Dixon. So, basically, we've just arrived

:20:22. > :20:47.at the Premier Inn at Heathrow ready to get a good night's sleep

:20:48. > :20:52.and start the day tomorrow. So we have just a little bit

:20:53. > :21:00.of luggage here! It will be exciting,

:21:01. > :21:07.get all this kit ready, packed up, Pretty much the whole of this bag

:21:08. > :21:14.down here is full of our Team So, your hockey ball

:21:15. > :21:21.and stuff, prep. Got a wash bin to take out, so that

:21:22. > :21:25.can be organised once I'm there. Don't travel anywhere

:21:26. > :21:32.without my big pillow. It's a big important one to be able

:21:33. > :21:35.to get a decent night's sleep. This bag over here has got

:21:36. > :21:40.all the little things that the guys I have a bag of all the cards that

:21:41. > :21:45.everyone has given me. Some good look little

:21:46. > :21:48.presents and things. And a little medal that one of

:21:49. > :21:52.the girls from the gym made for me. These are all the essential things

:21:53. > :21:59.that will make my room homely. It was quite a surreal deal

:22:00. > :22:03.when I got to Heathrow Airport. The guy in front of me checking

:22:04. > :22:06.in was Chris Froome. And then on the transit train

:22:07. > :22:12.I was standing next to Andy Murray. And then Princess Anne walks

:22:13. > :22:15.by in the queue waiting to board. Yeah, so some pretty big

:22:16. > :22:19.names on that flight. I was expecting it to all feel a bit

:22:20. > :22:22.real getting on the flight, but seeing those guys,

:22:23. > :22:26.made me a bit starstruck. Sitting getting breakfast

:22:27. > :22:29.next to Chris Froome, I was wanting to ask

:22:30. > :22:34.for a selfie, but I was a bit This is my home for

:22:35. > :22:39.the next few weeks. Well, next ten days really,

:22:40. > :22:42.before moving into the village. Nice and quite basic

:22:43. > :22:45.but nice and comfortable. Got all support staff here,

:22:46. > :22:55.got some good coaches, got physios, got osteopaths,

:22:56. > :22:57.got nutritionists. A few other sports, the men's rugby

:22:58. > :22:59.sevens here just now. Women's rugby sevens

:23:00. > :23:02.left this morning. There's quite a good,

:23:03. > :23:06.exciting buzz about it. As you can probably see out

:23:07. > :23:10.the window, it's dark just now. It's winter in Brazil,

:23:11. > :23:14.so it gets dark around 5:30pm, 6pm. Tomorrow, hopefully I will be able

:23:15. > :23:17.to show you around and see what it's This is our rest and relaxation area

:23:18. > :23:23.in the holding camp. As you can see, a nice,

:23:24. > :23:27.beautiful lake. And as we go around we have

:23:28. > :23:30.what we call the yacht club along there, which has the gym and some

:23:31. > :23:34.nice pools to sit by. We have driven about 40 minutes away

:23:35. > :23:42.from Belo, where we are based. At quite a high altitude,

:23:43. > :23:50.not quite sure how high it is, but it is a lovely running surface,

:23:51. > :23:54.these soft, sandy trails. And we've got some

:23:55. > :23:58.beautiful scenery. So, all things are going well just

:23:59. > :24:01.now, the excitement is building. There is a great atmosphere

:24:02. > :24:05.in the holding camp. And I think everyone is just really

:24:06. > :24:08.excited now to get into Rio, get into the village and get started

:24:09. > :24:11.with the competition. We'll hear more from them

:24:12. > :24:28.throughout the games. A little later, around

:24:29. > :24:30.about half past ten, at the famous Christ the Redeemer

:24:31. > :24:34.statue where we're expecting the Olympic flame to arrive ahead

:24:35. > :24:36.of tonight's opening ceremony. And of course there's full coverage

:24:37. > :24:45.of entire games right You can get in touch with us

:24:46. > :24:51.throughout the programme about whether you are following the

:24:52. > :24:53.Olympic Games. Jay says, following the Olympics undoubtedly, is there

:24:54. > :24:59.anywhere on the broadcast media someone can escape from it? Not on

:25:00. > :25:03.the BBC, I apologise. Zachary tweets and says he will watch all his

:25:04. > :25:05.favourite sports. Nick has tweeted and says he is managing a betting

:25:06. > :25:10.shop and will be watching the Olympics as part of a daily routine.

:25:11. > :25:14.And from Bears, I won't watch the Olympics at all. Too many cheats and

:25:15. > :25:17.it has lost its meaning -- and from Des.

:25:18. > :25:20.It was the battle for the left last night as Owen Smith clashed

:25:21. > :25:22.with current Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn to take

:25:23. > :25:29.We agree that we need a united Labour Party.

:25:30. > :25:31.We absolutely need that because disunited parties

:25:32. > :25:34.But we have never looked more disunited...

:25:35. > :25:41.We have never looked more disunited than under your leadership.

:25:42. > :25:45.And part of the reason we are so disunited is we are losing.

:25:46. > :25:46.We lost in the local government elections.

:25:47. > :25:51.The Tories at the same point in the cycle won 300 seats.

:25:52. > :25:54.Ed Miliband at this point in the cycle

:25:55. > :26:08.We've got Ukip in our National Assembly here

:26:09. > :26:11.in Wales on your watch, on our watch.

:26:12. > :26:14.We are third in Scotland behind the Tories.

:26:15. > :26:18.This is not success, Jeremy.

:26:19. > :26:21.And on current trajectory, we would be down at 22%

:26:22. > :26:26.at the next election in 2020 under your leadership.

:26:27. > :26:28.You cannot want that, because you want

:26:29. > :26:32.You want to put into practice our principles.

:26:33. > :26:35.You don't just want to protest about it, I hope.

:26:36. > :26:37.You want to actually deliver something for this country.

:26:38. > :26:42.It doesn't mean trading our principles,

:26:43. > :26:44.it means winning to put them into practice.

:26:45. > :26:50.With a Labour government, not a protest movement.

:26:51. > :26:55.Jeremy Corbyn to respond to that, please.

:26:56. > :26:58.You and I were at the same Shadow Cabinet table when we agreed

:26:59. > :27:02.on the strategy we would do in the House.

:27:03. > :27:05.We agreed on where we would take it to the Tories, and we have had

:27:06. > :27:09.And we did defeat the Tories in the May elections.

:27:10. > :27:13.I wish it would have been by more, but we were ahead of

:27:14. > :27:16.And the party is growing massively in membership.

:27:17. > :27:21.What I don't understand, is how you can complain

:27:22. > :27:24.about disunity in the party, when you and others are the ones

:27:25. > :27:26.who resigned from the Shadow Cabinet...

:27:27. > :27:35.At the very point when we could have taken it to them.

:27:36. > :27:42.Our political correspondent Tom Bateman is in Westminster.

:27:43. > :27:49.As we saw, pretty feisty between the pair of them. Is there a general

:27:50. > :27:53.view of who came out best? It was a pretty fiery affair. We heard the

:27:54. > :28:00.booing and jeering and jeering throughout. For both sides, but more

:28:01. > :28:05.of the cheering for Jeremy Corbyn. What was striking about this was the

:28:06. > :28:09.way in which Owen Smith, as the challenger, was really trying to

:28:10. > :28:12.position himself as being just as radical as Jeremy Corbyn. This is

:28:13. > :28:19.the kind of supermarket price match of policies that he can match or

:28:20. > :28:23.beat, to an increasingly left-wing membership. But the point Owen Smith

:28:24. > :28:26.makes is that he is the competent one and the one that will lead the

:28:27. > :28:31.party to victory at a general election and become Prime Minister.

:28:32. > :28:36.Both men agree on the diagnosis when it comes to the Parliamentary Labour

:28:37. > :28:39.Party that there is a big problem. It is the cause that they are

:28:40. > :28:45.arguing about the Jeremy Corbyn saying, you walked out on me and he

:28:46. > :28:52.says, no, it's your problem because you can't lead. Let's talk about the

:28:53. > :28:55.honours nominations with this story not going anywhere. Shami chakra

:28:56. > :29:06.Barty being nominated by Jeremy Corbyn. We had this conversed that

:29:07. > :29:10.the human rights lawyer is among the peerages offered by David Cameron,

:29:11. > :29:13.and the list was accused of cronyism for David Cameron. What has happened

:29:14. > :29:18.is the Labour leader has put forward the name, recommended Shami

:29:19. > :29:27.Chakabarti for this peerage which was then by the outgoing Prime

:29:28. > :29:29.Minister. The reason this is controversial is the Jeremy Corbyn

:29:30. > :29:32.has called for an overhaul of the honours system and said it was

:29:33. > :29:37.cronyism when David Cameron was putting together the resignation

:29:38. > :29:42.honours list, and now we have a human rights lawyer who carried out

:29:43. > :29:48.an enquiry for the Labour Party into accusations of anti-Semitism. She

:29:49. > :29:59.said there was no evidence that the party was overrun by anti-Semitism.

:30:00. > :30:02.And so now we have Jeremy Corbyn himself, having put forward some

:30:03. > :30:07.money for a peerage and that has led to lots of criticism. The deputy

:30:08. > :30:10.leader of the party, Tom Watson, has already said he thinks is a mistake

:30:11. > :30:14.and he was not aware of it. In the last few minutes I have been having

:30:15. > :30:19.a chat with -- a chat with Diane Abbott, the shadow health minister,

:30:20. > :30:27.and a loyal ally of Jeremy Corbyn and I asked her what she made of

:30:28. > :30:31.this honour for Shami Chakrabarti. The issue about the resignation

:30:32. > :30:34.honours is that if we never put anyone in the Lords from now on we

:30:35. > :30:41.will find ourselves outnumbered every time and the trouble is, in

:30:42. > :30:45.the Lords real people cast real votes on real legislation. Of course

:30:46. > :30:49.the House of Lords needs reforming but until it happens, and I hope it

:30:50. > :30:53.happens very soon, we cannot just allow the Tories to pile people into

:30:54. > :30:56.the House of Lords and not nominate anybody. That would be making

:30:57. > :31:02.ourselves losers before we begin. So you have to join in the cronyism? I

:31:03. > :31:05.don't think the appointment of Shami Chakrabarti can be regarded as

:31:06. > :31:11.cronyism in any regard. If anybody should be in the House of Lords on

:31:12. > :31:13.merit, if anyone is an example to young women from diverse communities

:31:14. > :31:15.it is Shami Chakrabarti and I'm glad she will take place in the House of

:31:16. > :31:23.Lords. It was a story that David Cameron

:31:24. > :31:27.was getting stick for but now the backlash is for Jeremy Corbyn and

:31:28. > :31:33.even from his own party. I dare say it will rumble on.

:31:34. > :31:37.Let's talk now to Beverley Douglass who supports Jeremy Corbyn.

:31:38. > :31:39.Moonah Howard a Labour voter who's undecided

:31:40. > :31:44.And Jade Azim who is in Owen Smith's camp.

:31:45. > :31:51.As a Jeremy Corbyn support the, how did you think he did last night?

:31:52. > :31:56.Quite well, he has been saying what he has been saying from the

:31:57. > :32:00.beginning, that he is supporting workers right and making everybody

:32:01. > :32:06.feel equal and I think he did really well. They were fighting over that

:32:07. > :32:11.left ground, there was not that much different in policy. What heartens

:32:12. > :32:16.me is that we have a point where we are OK talking about borrowing to

:32:17. > :32:19.invest which is what we need with low interest rates. It is mostly

:32:20. > :32:27.about who is the best advocate for those values and who can put them to

:32:28. > :32:31.the general electorate. Who can sell it, and that is politics. And you

:32:32. > :32:38.are saying that Jeremy Corbyn cannot do that? I'm looking at the

:32:39. > :32:42.evidence, he is at -40, 30 points behind Theresa May, behind in terms

:32:43. > :32:46.of Labour voters and if we could reach out to our own base, how can

:32:47. > :32:53.we be a movement for the working class when Jeremy Corbyn is not the

:32:54. > :32:59.right advocate to those communities? It is because Labour MPs who voted

:33:00. > :33:03.against him and getting the vote of no confidence, they made it the

:33:04. > :33:08.court that he is not a leader but he has not been given a chance. How are

:33:09. > :33:13.you supposed to know? Everybody is just ganging up on him and it made

:33:14. > :33:19.it seem that Jeremy Corbyn is this person that cannot be elected. Of

:33:20. > :33:24.course people will listen to that and have bad ideas about it. This

:33:25. > :33:29.coup was at the wrong time, after the referendum when we are supposed

:33:30. > :33:33.to oppose the Tories, not our own leadership. It doesn't make sense to

:33:34. > :33:37.me all thought it was at the wrong time to do it. If you're going to do

:33:38. > :33:42.it, don't do it when they are vulnerable, they were laughing at

:33:43. > :33:46.us. But it has happened, whether it was the right time or not, this is

:33:47. > :33:52.the situation and we are having a leadership election. A lot of this

:33:53. > :33:57.debate is about loyalties and about and underdog and people backstabbing

:33:58. > :34:03.each other locally and nationally and people getting quite nasty about

:34:04. > :34:08.loyalties to Jeremy Corbyn or anti-Corbin is and establishment

:34:09. > :34:12.against antiestablishment and everybody just need to take stock of

:34:13. > :34:16.where we are now and look at the candidates for who they are and what

:34:17. > :34:21.their policies are and who they think is credible also has a

:34:22. > :34:24.credible vision and can put that vision into practice which is what

:34:25. > :34:30.I'm undecided because I don't want to be on a camp, I don't want to be

:34:31. > :34:35.involved in that us versus them both up I want to listen to what they

:34:36. > :34:40.have to say on their merit. Did last night help you make a decision? It

:34:41. > :34:44.got quite personal. It did and I think the crowd was quite unfair,

:34:45. > :34:51.there was a lot of booing and jeering. A lot of people already

:34:52. > :34:57.knew what they were expecting Owen Smith to say and I don't think they

:34:58. > :35:01.gave him a chance. I would agree that the PLP is a factor but it

:35:02. > :35:06.cannot be the only one. We have consistently been behind apart from

:35:07. > :35:13.one poll in terms of approval ratings and general polling since

:35:14. > :35:17.Jeremy was elected and that cannot be taken in isolation with just the

:35:18. > :35:23.PLP is a factor. To pick up on the point about the crowd last night

:35:24. > :35:26.having made decisions beforehand and the booing, how do you feel as a

:35:27. > :35:34.Corbyn supporter watching that? It is quite awkward. I don't get

:35:35. > :35:37.involved with stuff like that. I listen to both side and I understand

:35:38. > :35:43.where they are coming from. I'm not against Owen Smith, only on the

:35:44. > :35:50.basis that I support Jeremy Corbyn because of his values. They are so

:35:51. > :35:53.related to me, he represent me. Since he entered office in the 80s:

:35:54. > :36:00.he has been on his values from day one. With Owen Smith, he has had a

:36:01. > :36:04.record of being sexist towards women, he said about Liana would

:36:05. > :36:09.that she was only on a debate because of her agenda. You cannot be

:36:10. > :36:16.running for leadership and have 68 sexist view on someone. -- such a

:36:17. > :36:22.sexist view. And he made a gaffe the other day that he apologised for but

:36:23. > :36:26.do you have concerned that this is a time when the Labour Party should be

:36:27. > :36:34.trying to go for the Tories and it is pulling itself apart? Could it

:36:35. > :36:38.result in a split? I hope not. I think there is that threat but a lot

:36:39. > :36:43.of MPs are in it for the right reasons. I genuinely think that. My

:36:44. > :36:51.personal view is that we cannot take on the Tories, even if we are united

:36:52. > :36:54.behind a leader who, looking at the evidence and hearing the canvassing

:36:55. > :36:58.on the doorstep, Jeremy Corbyn is not reaching out to our communities.

:36:59. > :37:03.It is not with uniting behind a leader who cannot unite the country.

:37:04. > :37:06.I think he is reaching out to communities, so many people have

:37:07. > :37:16.joined the Labour Party. There is no evidence. There is from people

:37:17. > :37:19.joining the park it. -- the party. We had a million members throughout

:37:20. > :37:24.the 50s and we did not win an election. I will let you carry on

:37:25. > :37:29.discussing because you have a lot to say! Thank you for coming in. Here

:38:43. > :38:45.Owen Smith said Labour is failing to provide a "powerful,

:38:46. > :38:47.credible opposition" to the Conservative government,

:38:48. > :38:50.while leader Jeremy Corbyn said the disunity in the party

:38:51. > :38:53.is a result of the resignations of his opponent and others

:38:54. > :39:04.The largely taxpayer owned Royal Bank of Scotland has announced

:39:05. > :39:08.losses of ?2 billion for the first part of the year. A ?1 billion

:39:09. > :39:12.repayment to the government and an extension to the deadline for PPI

:39:13. > :39:16.claims were blamed for the loss. The chief executive defended the bank

:39:17. > :39:21.and said they were paying the price for past problems. This is a

:39:22. > :39:26.magnificent business, each caught it makes about ?1 billion of property

:39:27. > :39:31.before tax and year on year we get hit by legacy issues. This time

:39:32. > :39:37.round, 400 million at PPI, we are looking at a 2008 right issue, and

:39:38. > :39:45.people are saying it was not done well and those issues are still

:39:46. > :39:49.plaguing us. But we did set out 2015 and 2016 to get as many of those

:39:50. > :39:53.legacy issues of the plate and restructure the business for the UK.

:39:54. > :40:04.That is the latest news, more at 10am. Let's get the sport now.

:41:36. > :41:38.In a moment, we'll hear from two of the relatives of the band

:42:37. > :42:40.Tributes poured in from fans, members of the public

:42:41. > :42:45.and celebrities including Liam Gallagher and the Stone Roses.

:42:46. > :42:48.Despite being in the midst of unbearable grief,

:42:49. > :42:51.the families of the band decided to carry on their legacy

:42:52. > :43:03.Then Coldplay performed a dedication to them at Glastonbury this

:43:04. > :43:13.That performance propelled

:43:14. > :43:15.the relatively unknown group into the musical stratosphere.

:43:16. > :43:17.Now the families have released the band's self-titled album,

:43:18. > :43:20.Viola Beach, and it looks set to enter the Official

:43:21. > :43:37.Loved ones say it's the perfect way to remember the group.

:43:38. > :43:40.Joining us now is Loren Dakin, the sister of Jack, their drummer

:43:41. > :43:42.and Fin Reeves, the brother of guitarist River.

:43:43. > :43:55.Thank you for coming in. Tell us about your brother. Jack was so

:43:56. > :43:59.lively, he had to macro completely different sides, he was really wild

:44:00. > :44:06.and the life of the party and fun and hilarious, but there was another

:44:07. > :44:09.side of him that was so emotional and beautiful and quiet. You could

:44:10. > :44:14.talk to him about anything and he would be there for anyone, the most

:44:15. > :44:21.selfless, loving and kind human I have ever met. And you spend a lot

:44:22. > :44:24.of time together? Yes, everybody said they thought we were twins

:44:25. > :44:31.which was good because I'm five years older! But we literally spent

:44:32. > :44:34.as much time as we did together, the only time I did not see him was when

:44:35. > :44:41.he was touring but he would still ring me every night. My mum was

:44:42. > :44:47.looking at his phone bill and it was all me! But we shared everything and

:44:48. > :44:53.we were very close. He was my best friend, we talked about everything

:44:54. > :45:05.and really loved each other. And what about River? He was very

:45:06. > :45:09.similar to Jack. They were like that together, and he loved life and

:45:10. > :45:13.wanted to live life to the full. From a young age, my parents and I

:45:14. > :45:17.knew that he would be a performer, he was always dressing up and

:45:18. > :45:22.jumping out to scare you and bouncing on your bed in the morning

:45:23. > :45:25.and very lively but he has had a more quiet and down-to-earth side

:45:26. > :45:32.and we used to have some very bonding conversations and he was a

:45:33. > :45:34.thing, I don't want to steal your words but he was like my best friend

:45:35. > :45:42.as well. When they were starting out, it

:45:43. > :45:49.sounds like you hung out in some grotty clubs to see your brother

:45:50. > :45:57.perform. We used to go, me and my boyfriend, we would go everywhere to

:45:58. > :46:00.watch them. We would be in a dive sometimes, but sometimes you go in a

:46:01. > :46:05.room with four or five people and we go in there and start dancing. But

:46:06. > :46:10.it started getting to a point where I couldn't get to these places or I

:46:11. > :46:15.was working, and to me, it clicked in my head that I can't get there.

:46:16. > :46:21.They were starting to rock it. They were starting to really shoot off,

:46:22. > :46:25.but originally River and Tom were not in the band, and then it got

:46:26. > :46:28.more serious after college and when they joined it was perfect because

:46:29. > :46:35.they were perfect at what they did and it rocketed from there. That was

:46:36. > :46:41.the turning point? Yes. You followed River around? Yes, I remember him

:46:42. > :46:45.when he first joined the band. He didn't make a big deal of it was

:46:46. > :46:48.always very cool about it and said he was in this band called Viola

:46:49. > :46:54.Beach and I thought they would be big. He had been a few bands before.

:46:55. > :47:00.And then it very quickly snowballed and escalated and they were playing

:47:01. > :47:05.readying and leads and the cavern club in Liverpool and I thought

:47:06. > :47:09.maybe he is going to be famous. We knew he was going to be a performer

:47:10. > :47:14.and on the stage but we didn't know how it would be. Originally maybe

:47:15. > :47:19.through acting and he had a place in Manchester at an acting school but

:47:20. > :47:23.then he joined Viola Beach and that was the happiest nine months of his

:47:24. > :47:30.life, and that was him at his happiest and best. Men that awful

:47:31. > :47:37.day in February and I cannot begin to imagine the journey you guys have

:47:38. > :47:45.been on, but there was such a huge reaction to the death. Yes, it's an

:47:46. > :47:49.awful thing to be going through, but what you can take comfort from is

:47:50. > :47:52.that they were having the time of their lives and work in that car at

:47:53. > :47:57.that moment and had just played their first gig in Europe and were

:47:58. > :48:01.looking forward to everything up and coming and that is what they were

:48:02. > :48:04.about, having a good time, and the support and everything that flowed

:48:05. > :48:11.in from the likes of Coldplay and Liam Gallagher and people in the

:48:12. > :48:15.music industry and outside was so great to see that these boys really

:48:16. > :48:19.did reach out. We knew they were a band and they were doing well but we

:48:20. > :48:24.had no idea how many people they had reached out to. That was comforting.

:48:25. > :48:29.It's been a great comfort that although we are grieving, it seems

:48:30. > :48:34.like the nation and the whole world are grieving with us and they have

:48:35. > :48:37.really been touched by this and if anything has come from it, people

:48:38. > :48:46.listen to their music, which is what they always wanted. It really is

:48:47. > :48:48.awful but there is that little bit of something positive, as horrible

:48:49. > :48:53.as it is, this is something they would love and adore and we would

:48:54. > :48:57.not have been able to do that without the music industry and the

:48:58. > :49:04.general public just listening and giving the music a chance. You

:49:05. > :49:08.mentioned Coldplay, and Viola Beach have effectively played Glastonbury.

:49:09. > :49:12.That is what Chris Martin said when he was up there, we will give them

:49:13. > :49:16.their alternative future. We knew what it was like to be a young and

:49:17. > :49:19.upcoming band and touring and having no money and trying to get gigs and

:49:20. > :49:25.he said all this to us before in the green room and got us in a big group

:49:26. > :49:28.and said these moving words. You knew they were genuinely moved by

:49:29. > :49:32.the whole thing and wanted to do what they did and pay that amazing

:49:33. > :49:38.tribute and it was the most phenomenal day of my life. It was

:49:39. > :49:41.incredible to see him and his best mates on the screen at Glastonbury.

:49:42. > :49:45.Thousands of people, hundreds of thousands of people, you could not

:49:46. > :49:52.see the end of the crowd and they were all cheering for River and Jack

:49:53. > :49:57.and Viola Beach, and it was amazing. I feel like it has sped up the

:49:58. > :49:59.process because of the tragic accident, but they would have been

:50:00. > :50:03.there. They would have got there anyway. They were on their way to

:50:04. > :50:08.the top, they always were and regardless of whether they were or

:50:09. > :50:14.not, they were always number one to us. Was it hard to watch at the side

:50:15. > :50:21.of the stage? Mixed emotions is such a cliche, but you know what I mean?

:50:22. > :50:25.Yes, for me it was very overwhelming and I found it quite difficult to

:50:26. > :50:29.cope, but with there being five separate families everybody deals

:50:30. > :50:34.with it in different ways and they were dancing and enjoying themselves

:50:35. > :50:39.and I was trying to, but there is a very dark undertone to it. It's

:50:40. > :50:46.fabulous to see them on the stage and what Coldplay did was lovely but

:50:47. > :50:50.at the same time it really hits home, and it has been in the public

:50:51. > :50:54.eye so much, it's been hard to have the five minutes to yourself to sit

:50:55. > :51:01.down and come to terms with what has happened and grieve in private. I

:51:02. > :51:04.keep using the word bittersweet but it's the best way to describe it.

:51:05. > :51:08.You are watching it and it's the most incredible thing, but at the

:51:09. > :51:11.same time you think, I shouldn't be here and it shouldn't be happening

:51:12. > :51:15.this way. It should be them on stage. But it is a bag of emotions

:51:16. > :51:20.and a mix of emotions. The main thing for me was I was there and

:51:21. > :51:26.enjoying it and soaking it in and seeing him up there on the Pyramid

:51:27. > :51:29.Stage was the most amazing thing. Who started the conversation about

:51:30. > :51:35.releasing the album that could and probably will go to number one

:51:36. > :51:38.today? Immediately after the accident, we got together as a

:51:39. > :51:41.family and the main thing we agreed on was that we needed to continue

:51:42. > :51:45.their legacy and get the music out there because that is the journey

:51:46. > :51:49.they were on and that is the journey that got cut short so abruptly so

:51:50. > :51:53.the first thing we need to do is get the music out there because they had

:51:54. > :51:58.done all the hard work. They would have gone on to make a lot more but

:51:59. > :52:02.they would have made at least in Alba's worth and all that needed to

:52:03. > :52:07.happen was rigged to be put together -- an album's worth. We have to say

:52:08. > :52:11.thank you to all of the guys who did the dirty work. We had the idea and

:52:12. > :52:14.we said we would give you full trust to put the album together and

:52:15. > :52:17.they've done a fantastic job and it's an amazing album. Fingers

:52:18. > :52:21.crossed, it looks like it will be number one today, which is

:52:22. > :52:24.incredible. It's incredible I can't believe I'm saying. Did you have any

:52:25. > :52:30.reservations about releasing it? This is what we wanted. I just meant

:52:31. > :52:37.emotionally. For a while, was it hard to listen to their music? Yes,

:52:38. > :52:41.at first I had it on repeat and then it wasn't doing me any good so I

:52:42. > :52:45.tried to stay away from it for a while but since the album has been

:52:46. > :52:49.released it has been on repeat because there were things I only

:52:50. > :52:54.heard snippets of. Originally, all of those songs, I saw them, but

:52:55. > :52:58.these were quite hush-hush, so my brother would say, listen to this

:52:59. > :53:01.and I remember him with his headphones on but I never got to sit

:53:02. > :53:05.there and listen to it because I didn't have access to it. River, on

:53:06. > :53:07.the other hand, he played me the singles and he said you cannot hear

:53:08. > :53:12.the other tracks they are not allowed to go out there. He didn't

:53:13. > :53:17.trust you, did he? I'm not going to play them to anybody, River. You

:53:18. > :53:22.will hear them when they come out. I had seen and heard them live and now

:53:23. > :53:26.I've heard them professionally done on the album it is a fantastic

:53:27. > :53:32.listen. Just a Regis e-mails of people coming in. Sam says I love

:53:33. > :53:38.the fact that Viola Beach will be released a true act of memory from

:53:39. > :53:41.family and friends. Also a tweet saying, watching Viola Beach on

:53:42. > :53:43.Victoria Derbyshire is heartbreaking, their music will

:53:44. > :53:49.speak for them. Thank you for coming in. Best of luck. What time do you

:53:50. > :53:52.find out? I think it's about five o'clock. Thank you to everyone for

:53:53. > :53:55.buying the album because that's an amazing support and we cannot thank

:53:56. > :54:03.you enough. Thank you so much. Thank you. Thanks for coming in. Coming

:54:04. > :54:06.up, the surprise resignation of Dame Lowell Goddard, the latest in a long

:54:07. > :54:08.line of setbacks for the independent enquiry into child sex abuse.

:54:09. > :54:10.People on average wages in large parts of England

:54:11. > :54:13.are seeing their disposable income being swallowed up by high

:54:14. > :54:14.rent costs, according to a BBC investigation.

:54:15. > :54:17.Analysis shows the average rent for a one-bedroom

:54:18. > :54:20.property in 161 districts, boroughs and cities is more

:54:21. > :54:23.than 30% of the take-home salary for the area.

:54:24. > :54:25.The housing charity, Shelter has blamed a "chronic housing

:54:26. > :54:35.Our reporter Emily Unia has more on the story.

:54:36. > :54:41.Emily, thanks for coming down. 30% is a huge amount. Presumably that

:54:42. > :54:46.means some people would say there is no money left for a lot else,

:54:47. > :54:52.certainly not much fun. Absolutely, and that is something that Shelter

:54:53. > :54:55.are talking about, saying 30% is the maximum you should spend on rent or

:54:56. > :54:59.a mortgage because they say can you still need money for transport and

:55:00. > :55:04.food and other emergencies that, and the problem is a vast swathe of the

:55:05. > :55:12.country is not in that situation. If you look at the average salad --

:55:13. > :55:20.salary, it's 1000 600,000 -- it's one as ?600, but the cost of a one

:55:21. > :55:25.bed flat or house is actually ?694 per month which is more than 30%.

:55:26. > :55:29.People will struggle. In that is a huge regional variation. In London

:55:30. > :55:33.and the south-east, the cost of rent is much higher but salaries on that

:55:34. > :55:37.much higher. You would expect in London and the south-east because

:55:38. > :55:42.that's what we always hear, but 161 borrowers and cities and that must

:55:43. > :55:46.mean it goes far and wide. It's not just London and the south-east. You

:55:47. > :55:49.will find places in other parts of the country, Cambridge, Warwick,

:55:50. > :55:52.even Birmingham where you think prices are lower, people are taking

:55:53. > :55:56.homeless in salary than they would be in London but the cost of living

:55:57. > :55:59.is still relatively high. There are a few pockets of places,

:56:00. > :56:04.particularly in the North of England where you get the magical proportion

:56:05. > :56:08.where it is under 30% of salary on rent and therefore you have a better

:56:09. > :56:12.quality-of-life. There may be other reasons other people aren't living

:56:13. > :56:16.in these places. The quality-of-life might be varied by access to

:56:17. > :56:21.services, but it does essentially seem a strong north and south

:56:22. > :56:25.divide. This is simply down to a shortage of housing, is that what

:56:26. > :56:29.the charity is saying? Basically. That is what Shelter is saying. They

:56:30. > :56:34.want more homes to be built but for renting rather than just buying.

:56:35. > :56:38.They want that focus on renting. The government has come back and said

:56:39. > :56:42.that they have been helping people into home ownership. 300,000 people

:56:43. > :56:48.since 2010. They say more than 900,000 homes have been built since

:56:49. > :56:53.2009 but they know there must be more and they will invest ?8 billion

:56:54. > :56:57.in 400,000 new homes to rent or buy and that is affordable homes in the

:56:58. > :57:00.coming years. They are trying to do something about it but they know it

:57:01. > :57:04.is not enough. Presumably a whole generation of young people rent for

:57:05. > :57:07.ever at this rate. That is the truth of the matter and that is what the

:57:08. > :57:12.housing campaigns are so worried about. They are saying we are

:57:13. > :57:16.getting a situation where it is not just young people living in shared

:57:17. > :57:19.housing, it's older people, people starting to have families and older

:57:20. > :57:22.people at the other end of the scale, those who have reached

:57:23. > :57:25.retirement and they do not own a home and have not paid off a

:57:26. > :57:30.mortgage and are looking at how to rent. You see older people in house

:57:31. > :57:34.shares with people they don't know. Shelter say it is uncertain and

:57:35. > :57:38.insecure. What is interesting is the conversation about changing rent and

:57:39. > :57:40.the way people have a tenancy, if they could create more secure

:57:41. > :57:47.tenancies, that conversation is starting to happen. It seems that as

:57:48. > :57:51.we realise people will not be altered by homes there must be

:57:52. > :57:58.another solution. Thanks for talking to us. Coming up, the wait is over

:57:59. > :58:01.as the Olympic torch arrives at the Christ the Redeemer statue at the

:58:02. > :58:03.opening ceremony in America and our stadium. Let's get all the latest

:58:04. > :58:11.weather with Alex Deacon. We will see fine weather around over

:58:12. > :58:16.the course of the week and quite a lot of sunshine on offer and it will

:58:17. > :58:26.get windy during the course of the afternoon. A couple of breezy and

:58:27. > :58:33.blustery days but it is calmer and it is not just the North West, so

:58:34. > :58:37.beautiful start the day. This guy is a bit milky. A lot of high cloud

:58:38. > :58:43.around. And the sun will be hazy and it's quite grey in eastern England.

:58:44. > :58:48.One or two bits of cloud but we will see increasing cloud across Northern

:58:49. > :58:54.Ireland and western Scotland. One or two showers drifting in. Sunshine

:58:55. > :58:57.and showers sums it up. Temperatures in the mid teens, and if we had

:58:58. > :59:02.further south it should be low 20s and feeling lovely and lighter winds

:59:03. > :59:05.than the last couple of days. More cloud in Wales and the Midlands and

:59:06. > :59:09.the chance of one or two like showers here and there but for the

:59:10. > :59:15.vast majority, fine, bright and it will feel warm in light winds were

:59:16. > :59:18.2324 top of the shop. Although it is warm in the afternoon the

:59:19. > :59:23.temperatures will drop sharply. If you're out it should be fine and dry

:59:24. > :59:26.with a few showers across parts of Scotland, but even they fade by

:59:27. > :59:32.morning. A bit of a chilly once a night compared to earlier in the

:59:33. > :59:37.week. Much of northern Britain and rural areas. High-pressure in

:59:38. > :59:42.control for the start of the weekend. It brings dry and fine

:59:43. > :59:46.weather, but high -- behind me lurks something ugly. An intense area of

:59:47. > :59:51.low pressure and this will increase the wind, slowly but surely and it

:59:52. > :59:53.will also show a bit of rain across Northern Ireland into parts of

:59:54. > :59:59.Scotland but for most places Saturdays dryer and the winds are

:00:00. > :00:06.still light. As a result, it will feel warmer than today and over 25

:00:07. > :00:10.Celsius. Then the winds pick up on Saturday night and Sunday is a

:00:11. > :00:14.blustery day. An unusually windy day for the time of year with the

:00:15. > :00:18.likelihood of gales in parts of Scotland and northern England. Just

:00:19. > :00:21.bear that in mind that your plans. A bit of rain across Scotland and

:00:22. > :00:25.Northern Ireland but the most, Sunday will be a fine day with sunny

:00:26. > :00:29.spells and it will be a bit windy, and as a result, fresher. Through

:00:30. > :00:33.the weekend we will see rain at times in Scotland and it will be

:00:34. > :00:38.blustery on Sunday, but for England and Wales, sunny spells on Saturday

:11:25. > :11:27.watching every minute. Well done to the parade athlete whose hamstring

:11:28. > :11:34.went but who was determined to cross the line. He should have some sort

:11:35. > :11:39.of medal. That was Derek Redmond who spoke to us early on Ulster he was

:11:40. > :11:44.speaking to John Watson who is here with the sport. As you say, the

:11:45. > :11:48.opening ceremony is tonight but sport wise we are still talking

:11:49. > :11:52.about Lizzie Armitstead who is given a hugely emotional interview in

:11:53. > :11:58.which she says she fears nobody will believe she is competing as a clean

:11:59. > :12:01.athlete. She was close to tears responding to criticism she has

:12:02. > :12:05.faced after missing three drugs tests which could have led to a ban

:12:06. > :12:08.from the Olympics before she successfully appealed the first and

:12:09. > :12:18.is free to compete in the women's road race on Sunday. People are

:12:19. > :12:27.going to judge me and my family. I would never cheat, not in any walk

:12:28. > :12:31.of life, I wouldn't cheat. And... Like you say, people will think I'm

:12:32. > :12:36.a cheat for the rest of my life and that's because of not taking a form

:12:37. > :12:41.on a box. And I don't mean to make it sound trivial, it's not, it is a

:12:42. > :12:44.fight we all had to take responsibility for and as world

:12:45. > :12:50.champion I should take it higher than anybody else. But something

:12:51. > :12:54.happened to me and my family that I couldn't control and that is more

:12:55. > :12:58.important to me than cycling. I'm not at the point of accepting it yet

:12:59. > :13:02.but I will have to come to the point where I accept that people will

:13:03. > :13:10.doubt me for ever. It is about me and my family. Not ideal preparation

:13:11. > :13:15.for her going into that road race. Andy Murray says carrying the GB

:13:16. > :13:20.flag at the opening ceremony will be the number one moment of his career.

:13:21. > :13:27.Despite his three major tennis titles and Olympic gold from 2012,

:13:28. > :13:33.he told Dan Walker that nothing will top leading out the GB athletes

:13:34. > :13:38.later. I have never felt like that before, I just felt unbelievably

:13:39. > :13:42.proud and humbled. It doesn't get much bigger than that, the chance to

:13:43. > :13:49.lead out your country in an Olympic Games is amazing and I'm very proud

:13:50. > :13:54.so hopefully I do a good job! Where does it rank in your career? Number

:13:55. > :14:04.one, for sure, bigger than winning a tournament. Personally, I've never

:14:05. > :14:09.felt that proud. Away from Rio, England have work to do on day three

:14:10. > :14:13.of the third test against Pakistan with the visitors resuming just 40

:14:14. > :14:20.runs behind England just three wickets down. The series is level at

:14:21. > :14:26.1-1. Patrick is at Edgbaston, things are not going England's way in this

:14:27. > :14:30.match? Indeed, ten wickets fell on day one but only three on the second

:14:31. > :14:35.day and that was a reflection of the game with Pakistan in control. The

:14:36. > :14:40.third wicket fell with the final ball of the day, Azhar Ali, who had

:14:41. > :14:45.already made 139. He was dropped after lunch by Joe Root but it was a

:14:46. > :14:51.well-planned and well thought out piece of batting by Azhar Ali

:14:52. > :14:56.alongside Sami Aslam as they put on a big second wicket partnership. The

:14:57. > :15:01.England bowlers have struggled to deal with him. Jimmy Anderson got

:15:02. > :15:04.tetchy with the umpires at one stage and England have not offered a

:15:05. > :15:09.threat so they must take with it this morning if they are to stay in

:15:10. > :15:11.a match. Pakistan are only 40 runs behind with seven first-innings

:15:12. > :15:14.wickets in hand and they will want to get a long way ahead and put

:15:15. > :15:21.England under real pressure for the rest of this Test match.

:15:22. > :15:28.Four years ago it was all about gold medals at the Olympic Stadium, and

:15:29. > :15:32.now it is goals as West Ham settled into their new home with a victory

:15:33. > :15:39.last night in their first match of the new grant-making a winning start

:15:40. > :15:44.beating the Slovenian side -- new ground making a winning start.

:15:45. > :15:48.Kouyate scored twice in a 3-0 win. Spare a thought for Aberdeen who

:15:49. > :15:53.missed a penalty had a man sent off and scored in added time with an own

:15:54. > :15:57.goal seeing them knocked out by Maribor. That is all the sport for

:15:58. > :15:59.now and I will have more at around 1030.

:16:00. > :16:01.The resignation of Dame Lowell Goddard is the latest

:16:02. > :16:03.in the long line of set backs for the Independent Inquiry

:16:04. > :16:10.In her statement the New Zealand judge said the inquiry

:16:11. > :16:12.legacy of failure had been "very hard to shake off".

:16:13. > :16:13.The first chair, Baroness Butler-Sloss,

:16:14. > :16:24.was appointed in July 2014, but she stood down a week later.

:16:25. > :16:26.Dame Fiona Woolf succeeded her the following September,

:16:27. > :16:28.but resigned less than two months later.

:16:29. > :16:29.They'd both been criticised for being too close

:16:30. > :16:33.Finally Justice Lowell Goddard took over the role in February 2015,

:16:34. > :16:44.We can talk to the chief Executive of an organisation that supports

:16:45. > :16:51.victims of child abuse. And Mari is a barrister specialising in sexual

:16:52. > :16:55.abuse cases. Thanks joining us. First of all, Gabrielle, how

:16:56. > :17:00.difficult is this for survivors of abuse, to seek a third judge stand

:17:01. > :17:03.down? I think it's very difficult indeed and let's not underestimate

:17:04. > :17:07.how difficult it is for survivors in the first place to talk about what

:17:08. > :17:11.happened to them and to come forward. So long for so many years

:17:12. > :17:16.they were not believed and treated quite badly. So when the enquiry was

:17:17. > :17:22.set up in the first place, that was really good and it was in it

:17:23. > :17:25.knowledge meant it had happened -- it was an acknowledgement it had

:17:26. > :17:30.happened and the state had recognised it and something was

:17:31. > :17:33.being about it. Two of the judges were considered too close to the

:17:34. > :17:37.establishment because the voices of survivors spoke up in protest

:17:38. > :17:43.against it. Then we thought we had a third time lucky with someone. And

:17:44. > :17:46.survivors were happy? Yes, they went to the other side of the world to

:17:47. > :17:50.find someone with no establishment links and moreover somebody who

:17:51. > :17:57.really put survivors and victims at the heart of the enquiry. She was so

:17:58. > :18:01.adamant about that setting up a consultation pal and making sure

:18:02. > :18:06.survivors were the heart of it, and for her to resign, and we've seen it

:18:07. > :18:12.already, that has caused a lot of upset and disquiet. Is it clear why

:18:13. > :18:19.she went? It was a brief resignation statement. It is unclear at all. The

:18:20. > :18:23.resignation statement was two lines and it simply said, I am resigning

:18:24. > :18:30.and I hope you accept the resignation. Whilst it is perfectly

:18:31. > :18:39.acceptable to resign in that way it does not help the survivors of abuse

:18:40. > :18:42.why this lady who had decided to leave the enquiry at this stage.

:18:43. > :18:49.Presumably it will hinder the process? The people still within the

:18:50. > :18:55.enquiry are desperate tellers that the work is ongoing and although

:18:56. > :18:58.they cannot tell us about it we should all understand that the work

:18:59. > :19:05.will continue in the absence of the chair but the purpose of the chair

:19:06. > :19:11.is to drive it and to ensure that all people can be heard and there

:19:12. > :19:15.will be, no doubt a delay while someone else is putting post, and

:19:16. > :19:21.while a person gets up to speed with what happened already. You make a

:19:22. > :19:27.good point but let's not forget the infrastructure behind this. It is

:19:28. > :19:32.massive, as if it's something that goes over 13 strands of life in the

:19:33. > :19:41.UK where the abuse took place. It is not just down to one person that is

:19:42. > :19:46.where it would stand in for it was an investment into skilled people

:19:47. > :19:50.making this go forward and I think that reassurance, we needed from the

:19:51. > :19:54.Home Secretary, which she has already given in her response, but

:19:55. > :19:58.also from the Prime Minister who set up the enquiry in the first place

:19:59. > :20:03.and is so committed to making this happen for victims and survivors.

:20:04. > :20:08.That reassurance would be essential to calm down a very agitated

:20:09. > :20:13.situation. We also had figures released today by the Office of

:20:14. > :20:16.National Statistics about the full extent of sexual abuse in this

:20:17. > :20:20.country. Let's talk about the figures on whether they reflect what

:20:21. > :20:25.is really going on out there. Absolutely. So good to have this

:20:26. > :20:29.question included for the first time in the survey being done. If

:20:30. > :20:37.anything, from our experience there is an underestimate. What are the

:20:38. > :20:42.figures? They say it 11% of people have experienced some form of sexual

:20:43. > :20:50.abuse in childhood as a minor and it focused on rape and penetration. We

:20:51. > :20:53.know from the helpline that it takes years for survivors to actually

:20:54. > :20:58.report what happened to them because it is so traumatic, the experience,

:20:59. > :21:03.and having to think about having to talk about it read from a tie is as

:21:04. > :21:07.them. We think it is about 15 or 20 years before you can pick up the

:21:08. > :21:11.phone and seek out support, but what it demonstrates is the prevalence of

:21:12. > :21:17.sexual abuse in this country is far wider than people would like to

:21:18. > :21:22.realise. It is true. Nobly wants to think about a society where

:21:23. > :21:27.assaulting children takes place, but it does happen and only by

:21:28. > :21:32.addressing it head-on can we protect the children of the future. Mary,

:21:33. > :21:36.through a long time in this country, the justice system has been

:21:37. > :21:40.criticised for the way it has dealt with people who are survivors of

:21:41. > :21:48.sexual abuse, often looking at their lifestyle, criticising them. How

:21:49. > :21:53.important is it that that system improves in light of the figures

:21:54. > :21:59.that we here? I think the system has improved dramatically over the last

:22:00. > :22:06.ten years. If you go back ten years, 20 years or even further, the way

:22:07. > :22:09.that victims of child abuse, whether they came forward as children or

:22:10. > :22:14.adults survivors were dealt with left an enormous amount to be

:22:15. > :22:24.desired. That is not to suggest it is perfect. There are supposedly

:22:25. > :22:31.dedicated teams, and we now have counselling systems in place and

:22:32. > :22:37.there are support a system to help people go through the court process.

:22:38. > :22:42.There are now lawyers and judges who are trained to deal with these

:22:43. > :22:45.cases. I know you have worked with so many people through the system.

:22:46. > :22:54.What does it do for a survivor of sexual abuse when they ceased -- see

:22:55. > :22:59.that justice is served? It takes a lump of concrete from the heart and

:23:00. > :23:03.lifts it. I don't think, unless you have worked with survivors of

:23:04. > :23:07.certain sexual abuse that you have any clear understanding of the

:23:08. > :23:12.enormous pain and suffering that they go through, not only while it

:23:13. > :23:21.happens but throughout their lives. They feel left out, and often, you

:23:22. > :23:25.know, as sad as it is they did tell, they were not believed, either

:23:26. > :23:28.because they were in a care institution or because the person

:23:29. > :23:35.they were complaining about was somebody famous or a member of the

:23:36. > :23:39.Church or a professional in some way and often even in the home people

:23:40. > :23:41.are not believed. So they've lived not only with a legacy of sexual

:23:42. > :23:47.abuse but a legacy of being disbelieved when they had the

:23:48. > :23:52.courage to tell. It has enormous impact on people. I have seen over

:23:53. > :23:57.the years people have the courage, and it does take enormous courage to

:23:58. > :24:02.come forward and have their say, to be in a courtroom and have 12

:24:03. > :24:07.members of the public say, I know you are telling the truth, and you

:24:08. > :24:15.can see the difference. It is dramatic. Sorry to interrupt but I

:24:16. > :24:19.agree that is a great way to describe it. And to build on that

:24:20. > :24:24.point, likewise, what we see in this country is a lack of for the ongoing

:24:25. > :24:31.support of survivors that is needed. Not all survivors do this. It is not

:24:32. > :24:34.the case for all survivors that they can actually get that justice that

:24:35. > :24:38.they want and deserve either because the case is not brought forward or

:24:39. > :24:43.the perpetrator is dead or for whatever reason. So the on going

:24:44. > :24:47.support they need to rebuild their lives and deal with the problems

:24:48. > :24:51.that come forward is absolutely necessary, and there is a lack of

:24:52. > :24:56.that support. The survivors trust and others, local charities that do

:24:57. > :25:00.great work are there, but there is a real lack of that complete support

:25:01. > :25:07.needed for survivors. Thank you so much coming in and talking us. Still

:25:08. > :25:08.to come, the 31st Olympic Games officially open in Rio will later

:25:09. > :25:12.today. So what can we expect? Demonstrations are being

:25:13. > :25:13.organised across England The events fall one day

:25:14. > :25:17.after the fifth anniversary of the death of Mark Duggan,

:25:18. > :25:20.shot dead by police in Tottenham, and one day before the fifth

:25:21. > :25:22.anniversary of the riots Black Lives Matter is a hashtag

:25:23. > :25:26.and movement that has grown up to protest against police killings

:25:27. > :25:28.of black people in America. It is an organisation

:25:29. > :25:31.and a collection of ordinary people who tweet the slogan

:25:32. > :25:33.'Black Lives Matter'. So what does the movement hope

:25:34. > :25:36.to achieve in the UK Imani Robinson is a spokesperson

:25:37. > :25:45.for Black Lives Matter UK. Toyin Agbetu is the Founder

:25:46. > :25:46.of Ligali, an African human rights organisation that challenges

:25:47. > :25:48.the misrepresentation of African Kadija Sesay, is an activist

:25:49. > :26:00.and publisher of SABLE LitMag. Her cousin Sheku Bayoh died

:26:01. > :26:02.after being arrested and restrained in Kirkcaldy,

:26:03. > :26:16.Scotland in May 2015. Thank you all for coming in to speak

:26:17. > :26:19.to us today. First of all, explain to us, people will probably be

:26:20. > :26:23.familiar with the Black Lives Matter movement in the US, but they might

:26:24. > :26:29.ask why it is necessary in the UK? I would say that the Black Lives

:26:30. > :26:32.Matter project in the UK is very needed because we live in a context

:26:33. > :26:38.of anti-blackness and anti-black racism. So we are organising around

:26:39. > :26:44.the injustices that we receive as black people and as people of colour

:26:45. > :26:50.generally in the UK. Talk to us, if you would, about your own story and

:26:51. > :26:58.the that your family have encountered. My cousin died in

:26:59. > :27:05.police custody on the 3rd of May 20 15. The first I heard about it was

:27:06. > :27:11.the next day and my cousin, who has the same name as me, says that Sheku

:27:12. > :27:19.has died. How quantum? She described the horror story of

:27:20. > :27:23.how the police had turned up to the house five times in the space of

:27:24. > :27:27.about five hours giving five different versions of the story of

:27:28. > :27:31.how he had been arrested. At that time they did not even say that he

:27:32. > :27:35.was actually dead. They did not know he was dead until the middle of the

:27:36. > :27:39.afternoon and he had in fact died in the morning when they had gone out

:27:40. > :27:44.after being called to say there is a man on the street with a knife. They

:27:45. > :27:48.saw my cousin. This is what we believe happened. They saw my cousin

:27:49. > :27:52.and they assumed it was him who had the knife although no knife has ever

:27:53. > :27:58.been found. And he was restrained and by the time he got to the

:27:59. > :28:02.hospital he was dead. After he was restrained he never actually got up

:28:03. > :28:07.again. But he was restrained with irons, as if he was a slave, and

:28:08. > :28:13.taken to a hospital. Of course, that is one case and there are many

:28:14. > :28:15.cases, but it goes beyond the relationship between black people

:28:16. > :28:21.and the police in this country, doesn't it? Why do you think the

:28:22. > :28:27.whole movement is so important for people in the UK to embrace, as they

:28:28. > :28:35.have so embraced it in the US? Simply because it happens in the UK.

:28:36. > :28:40.Nobody has been condemned for this. There has been nobody in all of the

:28:41. > :28:45.cases that have happened in the UK, there have been no book -- no

:28:46. > :28:50.convictions. There have been thousands of people who have gone

:28:51. > :28:52.through this since the early 90s and there have been no convictions

:28:53. > :28:55.whatsoever. People need to realise this happens in the UK all of the

:28:56. > :29:01.time in state institutions, it happens. And just because it is not

:29:02. > :29:04.a gun, and a lot of the times it could be any other form of

:29:05. > :29:09.restraint, and people are not aware that is happening. I am sure lots of

:29:10. > :29:12.people would say that the IPCC is not here to defend itself and lots

:29:13. > :29:16.of people who work in institutions would say it does not happen every

:29:17. > :29:21.day, but I understand the point you are making, that there are questions

:29:22. > :29:25.that need to be asked incidents. You were nodding and some of the wines

:29:26. > :29:34.she was making. It's funny, because today of the Olympics in Rio, and in

:29:35. > :29:38.1968, the Black Power movement, they made it clear that we have to be

:29:39. > :29:48.involved in addressing the issues. We have the Human Rights Act in 1998

:29:49. > :29:52.and the abolishment of the CRE in 2007 and we are in a situation after

:29:53. > :29:56.Brexit with increased racism in the UK and people are saying we don't

:29:57. > :30:00.need a Black Lives Matter movement. The reality is if people like this

:30:01. > :30:07.manner are being killed and we are having people passing away from

:30:08. > :30:13.asphyxia, and the IPCC, it is common knowledge it is ineffective. And in

:30:14. > :30:19.Scotland even more ineffective. It is not call the same thing as in

:30:20. > :30:23.England. We need a movement that recognises the fact that this is a

:30:24. > :30:27.normalised form of terrorism. Do you think, and I've spoken to so many

:30:28. > :30:32.people from the Black Lives Matter movement in the US, and they have

:30:33. > :30:35.told me that it is over racism in the US that they experienced day in,

:30:36. > :30:37.day out. Do you think in the UK it's more hidden which is why people say

:30:38. > :30:45.we do not need the movement? It is more evident but what has

:30:46. > :30:50.happened with the recent Brexit vote is that people have become

:30:51. > :30:56.emboldened. We had 857% increase in racist attacks, 52% of the

:30:57. > :31:01.population voting to kick out migrants. Not everybody was voting

:31:02. > :31:05.for that. I said that but the whole thrust of the campaign was to get

:31:06. > :31:09.rid of migrants. If you are an African person walking down the

:31:10. > :31:12.street, and this has happened to me, you are seeing young people being

:31:13. > :31:17.harassed and humiliated, stopped and stared for no good reason, not

:31:18. > :31:20.arrested afterwards but demonised and humiliated. There is a cause to

:31:21. > :31:26.recognise that there is something ugly in society and growing and

:31:27. > :31:31.Black Lives Matter simply says to treat us with dignity and invoke

:31:32. > :31:36.justice. There has to be some kind of penalty if somebody has lost

:31:37. > :31:40.their life. We know that when the EU campaign started, one of the big

:31:41. > :31:47.things was this anti-human rights kind of mantra that happened. One of

:31:48. > :31:51.the things about that the right to life and also no torture. At an

:31:52. > :31:55.African, I grew up as a young person in Britain watching what happened in

:31:56. > :32:00.South Africa and that was terrorising. To be stopped and

:32:01. > :32:04.searched and harassed, and I have been beaten up by police officers,

:32:05. > :32:08.and as he might sons and daughter going through the same experience...

:32:09. > :32:12.Do you tell them to behave in a certain way is that stopped by

:32:13. > :32:18.police? Is that an ordinary thing to do here? I think what you are

:32:19. > :32:23.referring to is respectability politics which is this idea that

:32:24. > :32:30.depending on how we behave, we can somehow save ourselves from being

:32:31. > :32:35.abused by police and state institutions. That is really not the

:32:36. > :32:44.case. It is important that no matter how we behave, that the public know

:32:45. > :32:51.and the police know that we get killed anyway. What support do you

:32:52. > :32:56.want? Speaking to people in the US from your movement, they have said

:32:57. > :33:01.that white people need to use their privilege rather than standing there

:33:02. > :33:04.with banners, they need to say, this has to stop. Is this the kind of

:33:05. > :33:12.action you would want here? Absolutely. Being silent on issues

:33:13. > :33:18.like this is really complicit, it is about complicity in a racist, state

:33:19. > :33:24.sanctioned, violent situation for black people. I would say that a lot

:33:25. > :33:31.of white people have been very vocal in anti-racist movement but there

:33:32. > :33:35.needs to be an intentionality about being led by people of colour, by

:33:36. > :33:43.black people in the UK who have been saying the same things for many

:33:44. > :33:47.years. I have been rereading Enoch Powell's Rivers Of Blood Centres

:40:55. > :40:58.rise on the morning of the day that will bring the Olympics to South

:40:59. > :41:05.America for the first time. We are expecting the talks to arrive here

:41:06. > :41:10.at any moment. It was supposed to arrive at 6:30am local time and is

:41:11. > :41:14.running about seven minutes late but after a three-month journey around

:41:15. > :41:19.Brazil, taking in 300 cities, the torch is due any moment. For the

:41:20. > :41:27.rest of the day it will be touring the host city, taking in the sight

:41:28. > :41:35.of the city before at sunset it is due at Sugarloaf Mountain, another

:41:36. > :41:41.famous Rio landmark. It will then go to the Maracana Stadium which I can

:41:42. > :41:48.see them appear for the opening ceremony which begins at 8pm local

:41:49. > :41:54.time, midnight in the UK. Thousands of people will be involved in that,

:41:55. > :42:00.35,000 people involved in putting that opening ceremony on and of

:42:01. > :42:05.course the Olympic flame will like the cauldron. 12 samba bands will be

:42:06. > :42:08.there to welcome it, the traditional carnival music which provides the

:42:09. > :42:15.soundtrack to Rio. And of course there will be 11,000 athletes as

:42:16. > :42:23.well in the stadium to watch the cauldron being lit. I can hear a bit

:42:24. > :42:29.of a hubbub behind me as the press can see the small flame arriving

:42:30. > :42:37.that will be used to light the Olympic torch. I will keep my eye on

:42:38. > :42:42.that for you. I can't actually see it at the moment so we will carry on

:42:43. > :42:48.talking about the opening ceremony! I am told that the themes for the

:42:49. > :42:52.ceremony will be the history Brazil and the environment here which is

:42:53. > :42:56.quite an interesting topic since the pollution in the waters around Rio

:42:57. > :43:00.de Janeiro that will host the rowing and sailing and open water swimming

:43:01. > :43:05.have been a major point of concern in the build-up, as of course has

:43:06. > :43:09.been political and social unrest. We understand that protests are planned

:43:10. > :43:14.around the stadium against the sheer cost of hosting these games at a

:43:15. > :43:19.time when Brazil itself is in a deep recession. The authorities and

:43:20. > :43:24.police have often used stun grenade and rubber bullets and tear gas to

:43:25. > :43:28.disperse crowds that have often turned violent in such protests so

:43:29. > :43:33.there are fears of similar scenes tonight as the opening ceremony gets

:43:34. > :43:37.underway. Authorities will want to snuff out any unrest before the

:43:38. > :43:42.sport start in earnest tomorrow. Tell us exactly where the torch has

:43:43. > :43:49.been. It has been on a mammoth journey around the country. It has.

:43:50. > :43:58.The flame was lit back in Greece and has made its way across the world,

:43:59. > :44:02.taking in 300 cities across Brazil, gradually coming to Rio. It arrived

:44:03. > :44:08.here yesterday, coming across the bay into this city. It will make its

:44:09. > :44:14.way from here at the foot of Christ the Redeemer around the city to some

:44:15. > :44:23.of the famous landmarks of the city, along Copacabana beach, along to

:44:24. > :44:29.Sugarloaf Mountain which is a big edifice sticking out into the bay.

:44:30. > :44:33.The early morning sun is just catching it because it is dawn here

:44:34. > :44:38.in Brazil. It will be there at sunset and it will then go along the

:44:39. > :44:44.coast to the Maracana which is just over on the left. Thank you for

:44:45. > :44:51.speaking to us. You can always rely on the fact that if you go somewhere

:44:52. > :44:55.live to find an Olympic torch, it will not arrive on time!

:44:56. > :45:07.Still to come... Viola Beach's debut album looks set to reach number 16

:46:12. > :46:14.when they are not trying We had a pretty good breakfast this

:46:15. > :46:22.morning and those guys are depending So I am trying out

:46:23. > :46:33.life as a trucker. We are trying to escape

:47:21. > :47:25.year, and lets talk to Rhys Williams, a road haulage manager who

:47:26. > :47:28.is in Calais to see what drivers are facing, and yesterday he said he

:47:29. > :47:33.came under attack. Thank you for speaking with this. Explain what

:47:34. > :47:38.happened yesterday. Good morning. I was travelling across the approach

:47:39. > :47:46.road to the port yesterday, the port of Calais. It was about 1am and I've

:47:47. > :47:55.heard an almighty thud and a boulder had been thrown by migrants along

:47:56. > :47:59.the roadside into my car. The car sustained serious damage. The rear

:48:00. > :48:07.window was smashed in the door pillar of the driver door -- and had

:48:08. > :48:11.I had a passenger, if there was a child, they possibly could have

:48:12. > :48:14.killed them. The boulder could have gone through the window and the

:48:15. > :48:19.glass would certainly have caused damage, and that was in a car. So it

:48:20. > :48:24.is clear that the problems that are facing truckers, day in, day out,

:48:25. > :48:27.has now been escalated and the migrants would appear to be

:48:28. > :48:32.targeting any traffic at all that is heading into the port. Is it clear

:48:33. > :48:37.why these boulders are being thrown and why people are being targeted?

:48:38. > :48:44.The object is to stop the traffic flow into the port in order to get

:48:45. > :48:47.on board the trucks, so the idea would have been to stop my car in

:48:48. > :48:51.order for the trucks to have to stop and slowdown and then the migrants

:48:52. > :48:57.would have boarded the trucks. I didn't stop I just carried on. That

:48:58. > :49:05.is what the problem was and further along the road there were lots of

:49:06. > :49:10.police, a couple of police vans, but sadly not enough police. There was

:49:11. > :49:15.police act of a tree with migrants where they had breached onto the

:49:16. > :49:21.road -- activity with migrants. I couldn't see the occupants of the

:49:22. > :49:26.car. They had dragged trees and had got chainsaws onto the road where

:49:27. > :49:28.they were cutting trees up to cause an obstruction. Molotov cocktails

:49:29. > :49:35.were being thrown at the vehicles and that the police. It was what I

:49:36. > :49:41.imagine resembles a war zone is the only way to describe the scene I saw

:49:42. > :49:45.on the approach road. Sadly, what I saw is occurring everyday. I have

:49:46. > :49:50.reports in from drivers that this is what they end your day in, day out

:49:51. > :49:54.going into Calais or into the port of Calais. It's not a one-off. The

:49:55. > :49:58.Road haulage Association have been dealing with this for the last 12

:49:59. > :50:03.months, trying to get the deployment of the French military to back-up

:50:04. > :50:09.the security resources in Calais. I wanted to ask you that. How many

:50:10. > :50:13.police are you talking about lining the road? The problem is the road

:50:14. > :50:16.stretches for miles and miles so it cannot be policed for the entire

:50:17. > :50:23.length. It can't be, but the approach road can have additional

:50:24. > :50:30.sources of security along it. Two police vans is highly inadequate.

:50:31. > :50:36.The Jungle runs alongside the approach road and reports are coming

:50:37. > :50:42.in of up to 7000 people in that camp, even with the northern tip

:50:43. > :50:48.cleared. Two police vans with about 16 police officers is not adequate

:50:49. > :50:51.to ensure the safe passage of our truck drivers going through there.

:50:52. > :50:55.And we are now entering the peak holiday season where families will

:50:56. > :50:59.be transiting through Calais and this is not the sort of thing that

:51:00. > :51:05.the families want as well as our truck drivers. What I experienced

:51:06. > :51:09.the other night is certainly not something I would want anyone else

:51:10. > :51:13.too. It is very scary, and even our truck drivers, who are hardened,

:51:14. > :51:18.experienced guys and girls going through this, they get intimidated

:51:19. > :51:21.with this sort of thing going on. Tell us more about the stories the

:51:22. > :51:25.truck drivers are telling you. You say they enjoyed incidents day in,

:51:26. > :51:33.day out, but give some examples. -- ensured. I was speaking to one

:51:34. > :51:36.driver in Calais on Tuesday, and he said he was attacked while filling

:51:37. > :51:42.up with diesel. One migrant out of three had a machete and knives. They

:51:43. > :51:46.wanted to get in the truck can beyond bored and wanted them to dash

:51:47. > :51:52.him to take them to England. Another driver had a chain put around his

:51:53. > :51:55.neck and was robbed. We have had drivers with spears thrown through

:51:56. > :51:59.the windscreens of trucks and also reports of a gun being pulled on a

:52:00. > :52:04.driver. These isles of the sort of things that are happening and quite

:52:05. > :52:07.frankly it shouldn't be happening. These are ordinary people trying to

:52:08. > :52:12.do their daily job to bring goods into the UK for you and I to use

:52:13. > :52:22.this is not the of thing that anybody should have to to ensure --

:52:23. > :52:27.ensure during their daily work. We would like the UK and French

:52:28. > :52:32.governments to bulk up the security resources, and as we have been

:52:33. > :52:37.calling for the last 12 months, get the French military deployed to help

:52:38. > :52:41.back-up the police in Calais. Rees, thank you very much for talking to

:52:42. > :52:42.us and he is a manager of the Road haulage Association.

:52:43. > :52:45.When four members of a young band, Viola Beach and their manager

:52:46. > :52:48.were tragically killed in a car accident earlier this year,

:52:49. > :52:50.it touched the hearts of people around the world.

:52:51. > :52:52.Then Coldplay unexpectedly played one of their songs at Glastonbury

:52:53. > :52:55.and it propelled the band even further into the limelight.

:52:56. > :52:58.Now the families of the band have released their debut album and it's

:52:59. > :53:08.heading for Number 1 in tonight's Official Albums Chart.

:53:09. > :53:12.I asked Lauren, one of the relatives of the band members, to tell us

:53:13. > :53:15.about her drummer brother. Jack was so lively, I've said

:53:16. > :53:17.before, he had two completely different sides to him,

:53:18. > :53:19.he was really wild, the life of the party,

:53:20. > :53:22.so fun, he was hilarious. But there was another

:53:23. > :53:25.side of him that was so emotional and beautiful

:53:26. > :53:29.and quiet and you could talk to him about anything and he would

:53:30. > :53:31.be there for anyone. He was the most selfless,

:53:32. > :53:33.loving, kind human I've And you spent a lot of time

:53:34. > :53:37.together, didn't you? Yeah, me and my brother,

:53:38. > :53:40.everyone always says that they thought we were twins

:53:41. > :53:43.which was good because I'm five years older so I must

:53:44. > :53:47.be doing all right! much time as we could together,

:53:48. > :53:53.the only times I did not see him was when he was touring

:53:54. > :53:56.but even when he was away, he rang me every night

:53:57. > :53:57.and My mum was looking at his

:53:58. > :54:01.phone bill and it was But we shared everything,

:54:02. > :54:05.we were very close, he was my best friend I think

:54:06. > :54:08.before he was my brother, we just talked about everything

:54:09. > :54:12.and we really loved each I think River was very similar

:54:13. > :54:23.to Jack, Loren said a lot River, he loved life and he wanted

:54:24. > :54:29.to live life to the full. From a very young age,

:54:30. > :54:32.my parents and I knew he would be a performer,

:54:33. > :54:36.he was always dressing up and jumping out of the bedroom to scare

:54:37. > :54:40.you and dancing on your bed in the But at the same time

:54:41. > :54:43.he did have a more quiet, down-to-earth, peaceful side to him

:54:44. > :54:46.and we did used to have some very kind of

:54:47. > :54:49.bonding conversations. He was, I think, I don't

:54:50. > :54:52.want to steal Loren's words but he was also my best friend

:54:53. > :54:58.as well as my brother. And when they were starting out,

:54:59. > :55:01.I know you were saying earlier on, you hung out

:55:02. > :55:04.in some really grotty clubs We used to go, me and my

:55:05. > :55:09.boyfriend who was his best friend as well, we used to go

:55:10. > :55:14.everywhere to watch them. We would be in some

:55:15. > :55:19.dives sometimes, but sometimes you would go into a room

:55:20. > :55:22.and there would be only four or five people there so we used to get

:55:23. > :55:26.on the front and start dancing. But then obviously it started

:55:27. > :55:27.getting to a point where I couldn't get

:55:28. > :55:30.to these places or I was working. To me, it all clicked in my head,

:55:31. > :55:33.I can't get to there and there, they

:55:34. > :55:36.were really starting to rock it. But originally, River

:55:37. > :55:42.and Tom weren't in the band, it was just like a college

:55:43. > :55:47.thing and then it got more serious and when Tom and River joined

:55:48. > :55:49.it was just perfect, because they were all so perfect

:55:50. > :55:53.at what they did, it just clicked and it's just

:55:54. > :55:54.rocketed from there. Yes, I remember him

:55:55. > :56:00.when he first said he The thing about River,

:56:01. > :56:04.he didn't make a big deal of it, he was very cool

:56:05. > :56:07.about it, very chilled. And he said, yeah, I'm in this band,

:56:08. > :56:09.Viola Beach, I And I was kind of like, yeah,

:56:10. > :56:14.whatever, you've been in a few bands And it very quickly snowballed

:56:15. > :56:19.and escalated and they were playing Reading and Leeds

:56:20. > :56:22.and BBC Introducing stage and at the Cavern Club in Liverpool

:56:23. > :56:24.and I thought, maybe, We always knew from an early age

:56:25. > :56:29.that he was going to be a performer and on the stage, we

:56:30. > :56:32.didn't know exactly how it was going Originally we thought it

:56:33. > :56:35.would be through acting and performing arts

:56:36. > :56:37.at college and he had Manchester, but then

:56:38. > :56:40.he joined Viola Beach and I just saw a change

:56:41. > :56:42.in That was the happiest,

:56:43. > :56:46.the last nine months of his life were him

:56:47. > :56:59.his best and at his happiest, in Viola Beach.

:57:00. > :57:03.You can watch the full interview on our website bbc.co.uk/news.

:57:04. > :57:10.Lots of people getting in touch with us about the Black Lives Matter.

:57:11. > :57:15.Victor says the UK does not need this, race relations in the UK are

:57:16. > :57:18.more developed, and I applaud the motive but not the tactic. The best

:57:19. > :57:26.option to bring about changes multiracial movement. A tweet from

:57:27. > :57:32.David, Black Lives Matter just like white lives. Another person got in

:57:33. > :57:40.touch, death simply is customary, zero convictions. Black Lives Matter

:57:41. > :57:47.It is important. All lives matter regardless of colour or religion.

:57:48. > :57:50.David says, why Black Lives Matter? Shouldn't all lives matter? You can

:57:51. > :57:54.follow the lead up to the Olympic opening ceremony across all the

:57:55. > :57:59.platforms through the day. We know the Olympic torch is due to arrive

:58:00. > :58:04.at the Christ the Redeemer statue later, and it will arrive tonight

:58:05. > :58:09.for the opening ceremony of the games. Don't forget, if you have any

:58:10. > :58:13.stories you want to suggest for us get in touch.

:58:14. > :58:31.Victoria is back here on Monday from nine a.m..

:58:32. > :58:37.You're coming across as, frankly, ridiculous.

:58:38. > :58:39.I'm flabbergasted by that. Will they get burnt...

:58:40. > :58:42.You have done an appalling job of selling them online. Erm...

:58:43. > :58:45.I'm... We're... We're... No, hang on. Sorry.

:58:46. > :58:48.I don't think I could work with you. Have you ever watched Dragons' Den?

:58:49. > :58:51...or will they set the world on fire?
