Hello. It's Monday. It's 9 o'clock.

I'm Victoria Derbyshire. Good morning.

Team GB wins its first medals of the Rio Games.

Jazz Carlin takes silver in the 400 metre freestyle and Adam Peaty ends

Britain's 28-year wait for a men's Olympic swimming title by winning

gold in the 100 metre breaststroke in spectacular style.

COMMENTATOR: There's oceans of clear blue water between Adam Peaty and

the rest of the world. This is utterly brilliant. Absolutely

fantastic. Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for Great Britain by an

absolute street. A wonderful world record. Oh my goodness me, 57.1

three. He has obliterated the world record. This is a product of seven

years hard work. I came out tonight, I came back, with everything I've

got, it's everything. Everything which has got you down these past

few years, more importantly, I did it for my country because it means

so much to me. Coming up, we'll be speaking

to his very proud She is now completely famous on

Twitter. Everybody wants to talk to her.

Also coming up on today's programme, learning to live

We'll speak to Actor and film director Adam Deacon

about what life has been like since his diagnosis.

When I look back to outsiders looking at me, everyone seemed to

say the same thing, you are quite manic. I think they thought it was

Red Bull at the time. And the nightmare

continues for commuters. Staff of Southern Rail start

a five-day walk-out in a long An emergency timetable has already

been introduced with Southern rail running just 60% of its services

across London and the South East. We will talk to the boss of the

company. We're live until 11

each weekday morning. Team GB's first gold medal is safely

in the bag after Adam Peaty won the 100 metres breast stroke

overnight in record-breaking style, 28 years after the last time one

of our men triumphed in the pool. We'll be talking to his mum in Rio

and his nan in Staffordshire. She is emotionally drained by the

whole experience. His grandmother has her own following now.

She's got something of a following of her own,

tweeting about her grandson's progress under

And we have an exclusive film from Bafta award-winning actor

Adam Deacon about his battle with bipolar in which he talks

to fellow sufferer Stephen Fry.If you're getting in touch,

If you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.

Team GB has won its first gold medal of the Rio Olympics.

Adam Peaty broke his own world record to win the 100

Just minutes later, there was a silver medal

for Jazz Carlin in the women's 400 metres freestyle.

Adam Wild watched a thrilling night in the pool.

This was the sight all of Team GB, all of Great Britain,

Having broken his own record in qualifying, there could have been

Still, in an Olympic final, there are no certainties.

Leading from the front is what this 21-year-old does best.

Roared on by his family, once again no-one could get close.

This is utterly brilliant, absolutely fantastic!

Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for Great Britain.

Again he has obliterated the world record.

The first men's gold in the pool in a generation.

Family support and the support of Team GB, an inspiration.

It is so surreal to get Team GB's first gold,

but you know, this is the product of seven years of work.

And more importantly, I did it for my country.

The first medal won, Britain didn't have to wait long

Jazz Carlin won it in the 400 metre freestyle.

Obviously I was sat and watched Adam win the gold, so I had to stay

I can't believe the time as well, I am so happy.

Plenty of hope for more moments like this.

And in a minute we'll hear from an emotionally

drained Caroline Peaty, Adam's mum, about her son's

Ben Brown is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

A five-day strike by members of the RMT union

It will affect hundreds of thousands of commuters

It's over a plan by the operators for Southern's drivers,

rather than its guards, to open and close carriage doors.

Southern Rail says it will only be able to run about 60%

Let's get more on this with our correspondent Ben Ando

who's at Victoria Station in Central London.

What is the picture there? Yes, good morning. The picture is that, as you

said, pretty much we think 40% of services roughly have been cancelled

today because of this industrial action. On some important routes,

from Victoria here down to Portsmouth Harbour, and Southampton,

Tannoy announcements are telling passengers there are no services

running at all. What's it all about? The RMT union has called a strike,

they have a picket line behind me and they are concerned about the

changing role of the conductor. The railway company wants to use

conductors to deal with passengers on stations and no longer being the

people responsible for opening the doors when the train stops at a

station however the RMT is worried that will not only put too much

pressure on the drivers, but also change the role of conductors,

making it less safety critical and more about customer service. At the

moment, the strike is due to last until Friday unless the two sides

can come together and reach an agreement. The RMT says they are

ready to talk and it's up to the management. OK, thanks very much

indeed. People are under-reporting how many

calories they consume by as much as a third,

according to a new report. The "Behavioural Insights Team"

warns that it could be affecting anti-obesity strategies,

as it appears that the UK's calorie intake is falling when,

in reality, it isn't. Official surveys of what we eat show

that calorie intake in the UK That is based on what people say

they consume, and what they tell But the new study says people have

either underestimated or been less than honest about what they eat,

and that other data, based on chemical analysis of how

much energy we burn, The report from the Behavioural

Insights Team says that average calorie consumption is around 2,000

per day, according to official surveys, but other scientific

statistics show it is more Recommended daily intake

levels are 2,500 for men The authors say policymakers trying

to curb obesity should focus more on reducing calorie intake

than promoting exercise. It is likely you get more bang

for your buck by focusing on calorie reduction rather than

physical activity. The amount of effort to burn off,

say, a chocolate bar is much less So it is more likely

you will have a lot more success by reducing your consumption

slightly than doing The study is published at a time

when ministers are finalising the content of the Government's

childhood obesity strategy. It was due to be published

when David Cameron was at Now it is down to Theresa May

to decide how to take it forward. An investigation is under way

after a man died on board a train travelling between Gatwick Airport

and London yesterday. Police believe the passenger,

who was in his 20s, may have been leaning out of a window

when he suffered A prominent loyalist has been shot

dead in north Belfast. The shooting took place around 10

o'clock last night. The man has been named locally

as John Boreland who was a member Northern Ireland First

Minister Arlene Foster, and Deputy First Minister Martin

McGuinness have both The children's charity, Barnado's,

says not enough children in care in England are receiving

support from mentors. Children are entitled

to have an adult who visits them A study funded by the charity

suggests that only three out of every 100 children are receiving

independent support. Only a fraction of new fathers

are taking advantage of rules which allow them to share parental

leave with their partners. Laws allowing shared leave have been

in place since April last year, but a report by a commercial law

firm says just 3,000 parents used the right in the first three

months of this year. The Government says the figures show

take-up of the scheme is on track. More than 900,000 people could be

entitled to flight compensation, according to the consumer

organisation Which? Around 43 million passengers

suffered delays flying in and out Passengers could be entitled

to compensation, if the disruption was not caused by "extraordinary

circumstances" such as weather That's a summary of the latest BBC

News - more at 09:30. Still to come, we have an exclusive

film from Bafta winning actor Adam Deacon about his battle

with bipolar disorder, in which he gets advice from fellow

sufferer Stephen Fry. Do get in touch with us

throughout the morning - use the hashtag Victoria LIVE

and if you text, you will be charged Let's get the latest

on the Olympics. John Watson joins us from the BBC

Sport Centre. I don't know if you are up at that

time in the morning to watch Adam Peaty? I didn't, no, I thought I

would surprise myself with the outcome this morning but I did warn

you what was going to happen this morning because Adam Peaty was a

favourite. He'd already broken the world record in the heats. He'd

broken his own world record? Absolutely, he broke his record last

year so he was the absolute favourite going into this but he

still had to execute, and that's exactly what he did. The hugely

impressive performance from him breaking the world record, 1.5

seconds clear of his nearest rival from South Africa. He was the

defending Olympic champion, coming in second, the fastest ever field in

this race, so it shows how well he did, beating his nearest rival by

such a huge figure, really. As well, such a special moment, not just him

of course but for Team GB, their first gold medal, and the first one

in the summing pool for a British man in 28 years, Adrian Moorhouse

back in the 1988 Seoul Olympics. So Adam Peaty, sensational performance

from him, Victoria. A special moment. Seven years of hard work, he

said. Not the only success in the pool for Team GB? Absolutely, Jazz

Carlin, this is such a great story. She missed the London Olympics four

years ago. She had glandular fever. She thought about walking away from

swimming but here she is winning silver, a second medal for Team GB,

second in the summing pool and she finished with a silver medal behind

the United States. She also set a world record. The hugely impressive

performance from Jazz Carlin, and she will go again in the 800 metres.

This was the 400 metres freestyle and she thought about quitting

swimming altogether following her absence at London 2012 but stuck

with it and here she is receiving a silver medal. It's been hugely

impressive. Remember, it wasn't until five days in that Team GB won

their first gold medal at London 2012 so already we have surpassed

that much better start to these Olympics with two medals already on

the board. Let's talk about Team GB's Lizzy Yarnold stead. The road

race. A very difficult week for her? -- Lizzie Armistead. She was hugely

emotional afterwards. She gave reasons why she missed those drugs

test in the lead up to these Olympic Games for the she was very emotional

so far from ideal preparation going into this road race, which was a

very technical course and we saw it again yesterday. She missed out on a

medal finishing fifth, didn't have the best of starts, a puncture meant

she had to change her tire, but she managed to rejoin the palette on it

later on in the race. Around 20 kilometres to go, she was in with a

slim chance of getting a medal, but the pallet on broke away in the end

and it was just a step too far for Lizzie Armistead. She said herself

afterwards she rode a very very good race and was very pleased with their

performance so perhaps the difficulties she had in the lead up

to the race, she wasn't pinpointing the result as a consequence of that.

It is worth saying the course was noted for how dangerous it was, a

lot of accident in the men's road race on Saturday and some terrible

accident, one particularly, yesterday with a Dutch rider who was

currently leading. She came off with 12: it is to go. A very nasty fall.

You may have seen it last night for the unfortunately, she is OK in

hospital, and she is conscious, but it just goes to show how dangerous

that road race was. In the end, disappointment for Lizzie Armistead

by the fifth-place finish is not bad at all. OK let's have a look at the

medal table. We have medals on the board, gold for Adam Peaty and the

silver for Jazz Carlin means Great Britain are currently down in eight

with those two medals on board. The USA at in front. It's worth noting

Michael Phelps, he chalked up another gold medal. Competing in his

fifth Olympic Games. He's now 119 gold medals, 23 in total. An

incredible performance on the greatest Olympian of all time.

Cheers, John, for the moment. Let's talk more about the gold medal win

for Britain's swimming sensation Adam Peaty.

His mum told me, "It will change my son's life,

but it won't change him. Adam will still be Adam."

I spoke to Caroline Peaty in the early hours of

this morning in Rio, after she'd been celebrating

her 21-year-old son's win through the night.

Caroline told me that seven years of dedicated

training and hard work, had paid off.

Getting up at four o'clock in the morning for Adam as well as myself.

Two hours of training in the pool. Coming home to drop him off. He

would go to school, I would go to work. He would go back training in

the evening. This would go on four, five times a week. Then you begin to

increase his sessions. He would go into the gym at about 17 or 18. More

like a full-time job. There must've been times when the alarm went off

at four o'clock in the morning when you thought, I need another hour in

bed? Many a time I have said that. I have got to be at training.

Champions are not bred in bed. They need to get up. There will be so

many boys and girls who will have watched Adam's success overnight,

who will be thinking, you know what, I want to do that, I want to swim

for Great Britain. What would your advice be? If they have got the

passion, go for it. It is not for the faint-hearted. It is a lot of

work to get to the level that Adam Azad. You have to put in quite a few

hours. It is a commitment for the person swimming and also for the

parents. That support network is vitally important. What would you

say to the mums and dads of future Adams? If your children really want

to do this, and it is their dream to be a champion swimmer, support them

as far as you can go. It is well worth everything. Especially for the

moment we have received tonight. Do you think this will change your

son's life? Probably. But I don't think it will change Adam. Adam is

Adam. He is very grounded. Nothing really changes him. If it was going

to change it would have changed after the Commonwealth Games, the

Europeans, after he broke in the world record. I'm interesting you

described it as an emotional roller coasters. The nervous for you before

the race. The moment when his fingers touched the edge of the

pool, and yet broken his own world record, what was that like for you

and his dad? We didn't realise he had broken the world record. At one

point from where we were standing, we thought everybody was at level

pegging. But when we looked back, he was quite a distance ahead. This is

what he wanted. Then we looked at the board and the saw the world

record as well, they were all jumping up and down, screaming. His

girlfriend was crying. I had tears in my eyes. It was fantastic. You

have spoken to him, I assume? Yes, we have had a cuddle. We saw in

coming around after he received his medal. But yes, we had a cuddle

afterwards. What state was he in? He is so happy, he really is. It is not

the end of his journey. But is a is the end of his first journey. His

first goal was to get the Olympic medal. I doubt he will get any sleep

tonight. He is ecstatic. Thank you so much for talking to us. I really

appreciate your time. Waking up for us is a big ask, so they give. Thank

you. Caroline, Adam Peaty's mum. Later we

will talk to his man and his brother. And by the end of the

programme, hopefully the extended family will have been on today.

Actor and film director Adam Deacon is one of

He shot to fame in Kidulthood, a film about three teenagers

living in London, and in 2012, he won Bafta's Rising

Star award after writing and acting in his own movie.

But then his life took a downward turn.

Adam ended up in court first for harassing his former mentor,

the actor Noel Clarke, and then for threatening a stranger

He was mentally ill at the time, and after being sectioned,

he was diagnosed with having bipolar disorder, or manic depression.

For this programme, he's been to meet Stephen Fry, who has

One in a hundred UK adults will get a similar diagnosis at some time.

So how do you manage your life, your job, your friendships

With bipolar, life has two speeds. One minute it is all too fast. The

next, everything becomes so slow, I find it really hard to cope. I am

Adam Deacon. In 2012I won the BAFTA. , -- but after that, it fell apart.

Arrests, court appearances... It is a year since I was diagnosed. I am

still on a journey to learn more about it. Look at the remarkable

people in our history who have had this condition. Look at what they

have achieved and be confident it is not a death sentence. Most of all, I

want to know if I can get my life back.

Getting diagnosed was a big shock. I have got so many questions. I am

eating psychologist Carol Chapman. It is learning more about what it

is. Can you explain? A lot of us, all of us have moods. Sometimes you

feel happy, sometimes you feel down, sad, angry. Bipolar sufferer will

have extremes of moods lasting sometimes days, weeks. The main

area, high energy levels, everything happening very quickly, wanting to

do lots. The depressive end, the other said. Lacking in energy,

finding it hard to get out of bed, achieve anything. Feeling very low

in mood and hopeless. It used to be called manic

depression. When I looked online, one celebrity keeps cropping up.

Coincidentally, he presents the BAFTA awards. Stephen Fry is good to

chat with me about his experiences. You had quite a public breakdown

yourself? I did. I suppose it all started for me at school. I was very

annoying and could not stop speaking. I got expelled from this

school, that's cool and the other school. Then I thought everything

was fine. I kind of got over it in my early 20s. That is really when it

all started to go wrong. I realised I was pray to these terrible moods.

So when it came to this period, I was in a play. I walked out. I had a

kind of collapse of confidence. And of happiness. And a general feeling

that my life was over. Got the proper diagnosis. That is when I

thought it was OK because I had named the beast. I had faced it. I

was kidding myself. The much worse suicide attempt came several years

after that. I was lying in a hospital bed thinking, I am a

lunatic. And I was saying this. One in 100 adults diagnosed with

bipolar at some point in their life. It costs the NHS ?342 million a

year. Some experts say it is associated with creativity. Artists

like Van Gogh are said to have lived with bipolar. That is not the whole

story. This is not some sort of blessing that artistic people get

that makes them more creative. This is something suffered by people

working in shops, offices, call centres. Something happens and it

switches the trigger. We are out and about filming and people keep coming

up to me to talk about their own stories. Adele works in a shop in

London. She has bipolar and psychosis. So when you was going

through your lowest point, how did that feel? It was really bad. It got

to the point where I just wanted to end it all. It did not matter what

it was. Even at work I'd find something to either hurt myself with

or just wanted to end it completely. That is the low. But the high, the

manic phase, that can sometimes be destructive as well. When I look

back to outsiders looking at me, everyone seemed to say the same

thing. That view was quite manic. They banned Red Bull. I think they

thought it was Red Bull at the time. I once had it so badly that I

honestly, and I am the least superstitious person in the world,

had I even a grain of religion in me, I would have thought God was

talking to me. I felt like Joan of Arc. It was quite frightening in the

end. One of the things I know from my experience, and it still shocks

me, is that people who love me best read my mood more quickly than I can

myself. My husband, he knows when I am manic. He hears it in my voice,

he sees it in my eyes. I guess that is true. Spending time with friends

does help. My mate noticed changes in the one we were working together.

I think it got too much. There were days when you were sitting on the

floor, literally on the floor in the middle of an estate whilst we were

filming, going crazy. I'm just like... So was it a combination of

winning the BAFTA, being on top of the world, and then going from bad

to not getting as many acting opportunities as you thought you

would get, as well as not having your family around and excessive

cannabis consumption that led to the state you were in? Do you know what?

A lot of my friends and stuff work kind of like, this was bound to

happen. I think looking at your life, you couldn't live the way you

are living for this amount of time and expect something not to go

wrong. And then it did go wrong. I ended up

in a police cell. I ended up having this kind of

breakdown. I ended up making it even more public because of Twitter. I

was writing this crazy stuff on Twitter without even realising it.

Sometimes I wish someone took my phone away and like made me go off

social media for a time. I feel very much the better for it. At that

time, I was doing everything to reach out. What was going through

your head? I just wanted to be left alone. I felt I knew what I was

doing. I remember just blocking everyone. I went to my phone and

said, I cannot talk to anybody. I got arrested again. It was

actually the police that were like, look, we need to get him some proper

help. Next thing I know I just remember being led down a corridor.

The next thing they said to me was, you are sectioned. I went mad. I

said, no, I am getting out of here. I don't need to be here. I just

wanted to get out. Paul MacLachlan was the matron on my ward. I

remember you when you first came to the ward. You didn't want to stay.

How much to let me out of the door? When you came, you are very manic.

Doing things on impulse and not being totally aware of what you are

doing and saying very odd, paranoid things. People were against you. I

was in the hospital for three weeks. I don't know what you guys done, but

you got the better and I thank you so much for that. How did you do it?

I think it's being in a safe place like award, talking to people,

talking to staff, talking to other service users and sharing your

experiences, not feeling alone, talking to professionals,

psychologists, nursing staff, psychiatrists. Definitely medication

plays a part. I don't think it's the be all and end all. I think

relationships are very important. I got out and felt better but then it

made all the headlines and I have to deal with people recognising you not

for your work but for the fact that you've been sectioned. You're

dealing with your own demons in the first place, going through hell, all

over the place, and then it's everywhere. How did you cope with

that? I've always lived my life in a strangely public way in terms of

being open about things, so in the 80s, when it was quite unusual, I

came out as being gay, and it was a similar thing in as much as if you

are in our business it's a lot easier to talk about your emotion.

What if you are not in the public eye? I've come across patients whose

families through them out of the house and they find it too much to

cope with. I think in terms of employment, being off work sick,

going back to work after being in hospital, I think it's just a huge

minefield. Did you find it easy to tell your friends and family about

what you going through? No, not for a good few months. Why is that? I

was scared how they would react and hurting them in the process. You

mentioned work. How did they cope with it all? They didn't actually

know. I hid it from them for quite a long time, as well, in case they

thought I was not fit enough to work. Do you think enough is being

done to take away the stigma and four other young people to feel

brave enough to say, I am going through something right now?

Personally, I don't think there's a lot going on for it. There's not

enough help going through. It took me quite a long time to open up and

be honest about it. People need to be more aware. They need to be more

open about what's going on because if it's too late, there's nothing

you can do. But people know, then whatever the problem is, they will

help you. But BAFTA seemed like a long time ago but now it's time to

get my career back on track. I'm writing music again and I've started

getting acting work. Things are looking up. # I'm trying to hold on

but I don't know if I can make it # Why am I still here? You don't know

how people will react to after they hear about it being sectioned and

every thing you've been through. I've been really blessed people have

been supportive and they want to see you out there doing what you do and

that's given me a lot of hope for the future. # Had a breakdown. All I

want to do is get away but I feel so trapped. # thank you, yes. I love

that, man. Thank you for your messages. Yaz says people should

talk about their experiences. The more open people are, the more

others will understand. Ella tweets, I wholeheartedly support this whole

conversation. Dean says, much respect to you, brother. I'm sure

this will reduce the stigma. Darren said he was diagnosed with bipolar

type to 18 months ago. Getting the right support and medication is the

key to a balanced life. This one says it's great to see mental health

being spoken about openly and honestly. If you want to share Adams

film go to our programme page. . For details of organisations which

offer advice . about bipolar disorder,

go online to bbc.co.uk/actionline. Later we'll talk to Adam

live, as well as others One of the concerns

is how you keep down a job. And at 11, straight after our

programme, you have the chance to put your own questions to Adam,

as he will be taking part in a Facebook live event

on the BBC Facebook page. Still to come, it was a long night

for Adam Peaty's friends and family watching his record-breaking

win in Rio in the early We'll be talking to his gran

about her golden grandson. And his brother, James. Good morning

and congratulations. Thank you. Is it right to congratulate the brother

and grandma on a gold medal winner? I'm not sure. Anyway, I have done it

now. And it's been a tough

morning for commuters in London and the South East,

as staff at Southern Rail We'll talk to the boss

of the company. Here's Ben Brown in the BBC Newsroom

with a summary of today's news. Thank you, Victoria. Team GB has won

its first gold medal of the real Olympics. Adam Peaty brokers own

world record to win the 100 metres breast stroke. Minutes later, there

was a silver medal for Jazz Carlin in the women's 400 metres freestyle.

A bomb has exploded at a hospital in south-west Pakistan killing at least

45 people and wounding many more. The explosion took place at the

entrance to the hospitals emergency department. A five-day strike by

members of the RMT union and Southern rail has started. It will

affect hundreds of thousands of commuters over a plan by the

operators for Southern 's drivers rather than its guards to open close

carriage doors. Southern rail says it will only be able to run about

60% service. People are under reporting how many calories they

consumed by as much as a third according to a new report.

Scientific tests show people eat 3000 calories a day on average but

claimed to have eaten only 2000 when surveyed. The behavioural insights

team warned that this could be affecting anti-obesity strategies.

Only a fraction of new fathers are taking advantage of rules which

allow them to share parental leave with their partners. Laws allowing

shared leave have been in place since April last year, but a report

by a commercial law firms has just 3000 parents use the right in the

first three months of this year. The former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls

will be competing in this year 's Strictly Come Dancing. The former

politician is the first name to be officially revealed on the hit BBC

show. He told Chris Evans on his Radio 2 breakfast show that he was

scared to death. That's a summary of

the latest BBC News. Here's some sport now

with John Watson. Hello, Victoria. Team GB have won

their first gold medal of the games. In the early hours of this morning,

the 21-year-old, who trains at the City of Derby swimming club,

won gold in the Men's 100 metre breast stroke,

the first British man to win a gold Jazz Carlin won a medal for Team GB,

the second medal of the games, getting silver in the women's 400

metres freestyle after missing the London games. She thought about

walking away from the sport who are special moment for her as she won

the second medal for Team GB. Let's look at some of the other big

stories from the games. Lizzie Armistead finished fifth in the road

race on a course labelled dangerous after a difficult build-up for her.

She sought to explain the reasons behind those three missed drugs

tests. She missed out on a medal which is marked by a terrible crash

close to the end to the race leader. Away from the Olympics, England beat

Pakistan by 141 runs in the test at Edgbaston to take a 2-1 series lead

with one more test to play at the Oval starting on Thursday. They

could return to the top of the test rankings if they win that when they

get underway this week. Football now and latterly and even in a vitch

Manchester United 's new signing scored a late winner as he won the

FA committee shield -- flat and Ibrahim vitch. He's now linking up

with Manchester United. Celtic made a winning start to the new season as

their new signing Scott Sinclair scored the winner with some ten

minutes remaining. That win coming against hearts at Tynecastle. That

is all a sport for the moment. 20 more for you later. We are going to

celebrate Adam Peaty a little bit more and why not. In the early hours

of this morning, the 21-year-old, who trains at the city of Derby

swimming club, won gold in the men's 100 metres breast stroke, the first

British man to win a gold medal in the pool since 1988 but was also

another world record for him, swimming in 57.13 seconds.

Let's talk to Adam Peaty's nan Mavis.

Mavis is now famous on Twitter as hashtag olympic nan.

And lets talk to Adams brother, James. Hello, both of you.

Congratulations. Good morning. How was it for you, Mavis, watching it

in the early hours? Oh, fantastic. He was great. I let myself go, when

I usually do, when I watch him swim. What did you do? Made a fool of

myself screaming and shouting. You are allowed to do that when your

grandson has just won gold and broken his own world record, aren't

you? Well, yes, I am, I suppose. We are just seeing it now, seeing you

cheering and screaming. What about you, James? How was it for you?

Ecstatic for me. Seeing my brother on TV, ecstatic, never mind being in

the Olympic Games in Rio. It was fantastic. The whole family enjoyed

looking at in summing the race and winning gold. We all enjoyed it. I

spoke to your mum, Caroline, earlier. She talked about the

sacrifices and the daily routine at getting up at 4am to take into

training, then come back, get breakfast, go to, drop them off at

school. As the brother looking on, what are you thinking when all of is

going on? Well, I feel the pain for my mum, really, it's the dedication,

taking in swimming and stuff. It's all paid off in the long run,

basically. You could see it this morning. She did a lot for him. And

basically add trains a lot as well, gets up in the morning. It's all

paid out in the long run. Is it true, Mavis, about Adam not liking

water when he was a little boy? Yes, it is true. He used to get in the

bath and jump out again. He didn't like water at all. His mum took him

to the summing Bath 's to see if he could improve but he used to scream

and murder -- swimming baths. One day a friend took him and I do know

what happened there but he started going -- screaming blue murder. He's

been going ever since. James, do you like to swim? I like a casual swim

but I don't like racing against Adam. I had a race with him when I

was 14 years old. He just about one against me. I can't imagine what it

would be like now. It's not worth it. So inspirational. There will be

so many kids in Britain, boys and girls, waking up this morning,

watching that on TV inspired to compete. That is a magnificent

achievement, isn't it? It is. Inspired many children around the UK

in the world. James, thank you so much. Mavis, thank you the talking

to us. We are going to talk to Ryan from Stoke, one of Adam's friends

and swimming coaches. How are you? Very well. What did you think of

that swim them? Absolutely unbelievable. I celebrated it with

Adams family and I watched it live and the atmosphere was incredible.

When he broke the world record, it was amazing. As he progressed

through the swim, but he just touched the wall with 57.13,

unbelievable. What is his temperament like? Adam is so

level-headed. I've spoken to him in the last couple of hours and we had

a bit of banter. What did he say? He said he's got no chance of getting

some sleep tonight because he's got people talking to him right, left

and centre. He's really enjoying it though. Level-headed, you save for

the Bismarck and said earlier the gold medal could change his life but

he will not change. He will stay grounded. -- he was back in training

while the closing ceremony was taking place. It's about taking the

next move for Adam that what makes in such a great athlete. He trains

with the younger generation who want to be him, wants to be the next

Olympic medallist. Tell us about the level of training you have to do to

win a gold medal in the 100 metres breast stroke in the Olympics. Adam

trains around 20 hours a week in the pool, but that's not all he will do.

He will swim at Loughborough and wrapped in school am so he gets long

course and short course experience and is also in the gym for ten hours

a week at least. He's got the nutrition, the rest he needs in

between that, it is his full-time job.

Is the key to breaststroke the strength in the upper body?

Definitely. Adam has got that. He has also got a strong kick. That is

what has helped him get the world record today and beating the field

by 1.5 seconds. Which is astonishing. It sounds like nothing

but that is a decent gap, isn't it, between gold and silver? Thank you

for telling us about Adam. A friend of Adam's and one of his swimming

coaches. New research given exclusively

to this programme shows over half of boys at secondary school see

eating disorders as an issue It's going to be a nightmare

for commuters in London and the South East of England this

week as a strike by Staff will walk out for five days

in a long-running dispute over plans to change the role of conductors

to on board supervisors, and to get drivers to open and close

the carriage doors in the future. That already happens on four out of

ten trains. Southern Rail is introducing

an emergency timetable running just 60% of its services across London

and the South East. Southern cut more than 300 services

last month to try to make its heavily criticised remaining

services more reliable. Three days of talks

between the company and the RMT union at the conciliation service

Acas collapsed last week. In a moment we'll be talking

to the chief executive of Southern's parent

company, Govia Thameslink. But first, let's find out

what the strike means Zoe Lamb lives in Redhill and works

full time in Canary Wharf. She commutes four

to five days a week. There will be no service at all

on her line this week into London. Summer Dean is another Southern Rail

passenger based in Brighton. She has organized a protest for this

Wednesday, a week before fare Zoe, in a minute I am going to talk

to the boss of Southern rail. What would you say to him? Just as we are

asked as passenger to pay a year in advance from my season ticket for

the ability to get to work, to get home from work on a reliable service

that has reasonable customer service, and it has just not

happened. It is not just about the strike. It is about the cuts in the

service. It is about the fact I have five less direct trains to London

Bridge ever that -- every morning. It is the worst value for money on

anything that I have purchased and it is my biggest expense. The

website is not very user-friendly. Quite often you just get feedback

about a month later telling you that actually you are 29 minutes late,

not 30 minutes late, and therefore you will not get the compensation.

Charles Horton is the chief executive of Southern's parent

What would you say to Zoe? I would like to apologise sincerely. I

understand you're upset about the current level of service and I don't

think it is acceptable. We are trying to address those issues and

improve the quality of service for passengers. Sincere apology to you,

Zoe. Thank you. But I still have to try to get to work. I have had to

rearrange my meetings this week because of the strike. I appreciate

it is a difficult situation. But it is your job as the operator of this

franchise to make sure these things don't happen. Hundreds of thousands

of people are at risk in their jobs because we are turning up late, we

are getting fined by childcare because we cannot see our kids, and

the stress of not being able to get to work twice a day, for both me and

my husband, is massive. You say you do understand the disruption. Do you

use your own service? Yes, I use them every single day. I completely

get were Zoe is coming from. I understand how much inconvenience

this causes. It is huge stress. It is really tough for people. I would

just like to repeat what I said. My sincere apology. I am going to ask

you what you are going to do to resolve this, in just a second. Some

are, you live in Brighton. In terms of your daily commute. What is it

like? Obviously we have seen huge disruption, and that is something

that has affected me. Where I have said I will meet somebody for a

meeting in London, not been able to get there because the train has been

cancelled or Mac I have not been able to get on the train because it

has been too full. This is affecting lots of people, not just between

Brighton and London. Sometimes it is easy to just assume that is the only

one affected. There are lots of other lines as well. It has just so

disruptive and it is not just about not being able to make it to a

meeting or not being able to get to work on time. It is about trying to

get home as well. And constantly feeling like the company has

absolutely no regard for their passengers. We constantly hear

apologies, left right and centre. All the different bosses saying, we

sincerely apologise, our passengers are number one. But we are not

seeing any evidence of that. They are sceptical about your apology?

Yes, I understand that. If you had had the level of service customers

have had in recent weeks, I understand the cynicism. I really do

mean the apology. We are sorry for the inconvenience, the disruption to

people's lives. This week the strike is completely unacceptable, it is

unjustified. We spent three days last week at Acas. We put a Comber

on the table. And I am afraid walk away from it. -- a comprehensive

package on the table. People's lives have gone upside down. Wasn't there

a compromise, that whenever a train ran, a second person would be on

that train? The unions said they would not have gone ahead with the

strike. That is a bit of a red herring. We did say to the RMT that

we would say that every train with a second person -- person on board at

the moment, we'll have a second person in the future. They don't

believe you. They wouldn't accept it. We have ended up with this

strike. I am so sorry. How much are you to blame for how you have

handled this? I don't want to get into the blame game. I want to find

a way out of this problem. As chief executive I take full

responsibility. Have you considered your position? Yes, I have. If I

left, I would leave the company leaderless at a time when what we

need to do is solve these problems. You are failing to solve the

problems, aren't you? If I leave, I leave the company at a crucial time.

What I and my team are focused on doing is resolving this dispute, but

also making the changes which are necessary to modernise services.

There is a huge investment going on to improve the quality of services,

new carriages, more drivers than ever before, to improve the

reliability and consistency of services. Big changes to information

to help customers have a better experience. It is so important we do

that. You say you want to resolve the dispute and continue with the

changes, the modernisation changes. At the moment of those things are

incompatible, aren't they? We will proceed. If we cannot get the RMT to

agree, we will start that process later this month. You are going to

impose the fact that drivers will open and close doors? What will

happen is that the second person will be on the train to look after

customers. How does that resolve the dispute? It will move things

forward. At the moment you cannot get them to agree so they have gone

on strike. In a month you are going to impose the things they don't

agree with? We have been talking to the RMT about this change for nine

months. We have done our level best to get them to come on board with

modernisation. The RMT have set their face against modernisation.

They say it is about safety. 60% of services across the network already

operate with driver in full control of the doors. The rail regulator

regards this as a safe operation. The safety body recognises this.

They believe it may offer some advantages. The change we are making

will not impact on safety and in fact we believe it will offer some

advantages. Zoe, do you think imposing these changes in a month

will resolve this and make your daily commute better? No. Part of

the problems we have had with services that the staff are not

available either on the train, operating the doors, as customer

service representatives. The fundamental business model does not

work. They need staff to work extra hours to fill the trains. With such

disgruntled staff, nobody is going to be doing the extra hours. While

Southern Rail have said they are investing in staff, they did not do

it early enough. Summer, does it sound to you as if Charles Horton

has got a solution? I don't think it does. I am not a manager. It does

seem that the union is not happy with what is going to happen. To be

constantly pushing against that, we are hearing there has been three

days of talks to try to prevent this strike. What seems to be happening

is that they just think whatever stuff we are saying is pathetic or

unnecessary or ridiculous. I just think until somebody, and I really

think it is the responsibility of management within a company to sit

down and try to resolve something, then nothing is go to happen. To

just constantly say, this is what is going to happen and we don't care

about what the stats say... Until Charles Horton stars being the

person on the train who operates the doors, I don't think he knows what

is safe and what is not safe. He claims to use the service. I would

be interested to know what service that is he is using and whether he

has done a video diary, as a lot of passengers have done. Would you do a

video diary would use it in the driver's seed? Going back to the

point of safety... You have completely ignored what I have asked

you. In terms of the safety of that role and that method of operation,

it is something that has been in place for 30 years. This is a safe,

effective method. The change we are making will allow the second person

on the train to give better service to customers, which is what you

heard our passengers say to us. They have also said they do not think

imposing this will solve anything. We have been trying for nine months

to resolve this issue with the RMT. We put on the table a package of

eight points last week to try to resolve this dispute. During the

negotiations we added to that and the RMT would not accept. Thank you

very much. Thank you for talking to your passengers. Thank you Zoe and

summer. Still to come, the latest Rio video diary filmed for you by

Olympic trampoline Esther Cat Driscoll. Time for the latest

weather. Haven't seen you for ages. Welcome

back. You missed quite a Goolie yesterday. These were the wind gusts

across parts of Scotland, making it the windiest summer days since July

19 88. Some of those places I do not even know where they are! One of

them is the top of Cairngorm. 115 mph, still windy across parts of

Scotland at the moment. Take a look at the weather generally. This is

from Fife. A beautiful picture. We have been seeing a lot of this.

There have also been some showers in the forecast this morning. A lovely

rainbow over Yorkshire. Have a look at this. That is how I love my

weather. Just like this. Some of us want some rain but personally I love

it. More of that to come. Thank you. What we are looking at

today is a mixture of sunshine and showers. We have had some showers

this morning. Some have cleared. Further showers will develop as we

move through the day. What we currently have is high pressure in

the Atlantic, low pressure from yesterday heading over to

Scandinavia. Look at the squeeze on the isobars. Very windy in the far

north of Scotland and the Northern Isles. Pretty breezy across the

whole of the UK. If you catch a shower it will whistle through quite

quickly. This is where we have the cloud. Some of it producing showers.

A lot of sunshine. The main focus of the weather today is across the far

north-east of Scotland. This is where we still have gusty winds, 50

to 60 mph, locally 65 mph. It makes it very difficult to walk into that

kind of wind speed. Reigning Shetland will be with us for much of

the day. The wind peaking at lunchtime. Then it will use. For the

rest of Scotland, Northern Ireland, England and Wales, a mixture of

bright spells, sunny spells and some showers.

between that, it is his full-time job.

In the sunshine, high is up to 21. It'll feel quite pleasant if you

stay out of the breeze. Heading on through the evening and overnight

period, against the wind continues to come down. The showers fading and

the skies clear and that's a recipe for a cold night. In fact, the

temperatures overnight are going to be pretty low so if you are camping,

bear that in mind. In the Glens of Scotland, down to three degrees,

five in the North of England, eight as we pushed down towards the far

south-east. That does mean tomorrow we start off with clear skies,

sunshine, plus the north of the country, more cloud to developing

and some showers. Further dryer and bright and temperatures up to 21-22.

Always really appreciate them. A lot of you talking

Film on bipolar. We will talk to add live in the next few minutes. Well

done, Adam Deacon, for speaking out. I'm sure many others will go through

similar experiences. From Sharon, really good film about bipolar

disorder. We need to keep talking. Peter on Facebook says, do share

this film. There must be thousands of us out there suffering in

silence. Getting diagnosed is as hard as living with the illness.

Well done to your programme for bringing bipolar too light.

Particularly with your own experiences which I will feed into

the conversation with Adam in the next few minutes. This is a totally

different subject from Peter. Disappointed you've not yet

interviewed Adam Peaty's first schoolteacher's second grandfather

's cousin. Listen, we've got an hour to go for that we may get the month.

Do get in touch with us throughout the morning.

If you text, you will be charged at the standard network rate.

Good morning, Victoria. Team GB's success in the summing pool. More in

that the moment but we're on the Olympics at this morning. Our home

at the BBC sport centre we are sharing with BBC Breakfast over the

next fortnight, so this is our new home for the next couple of weeks.

Very smart. A fantastic moment for Team GB last night. They won their

first medal of the limpid games. Adam Peaty claiming goals. Jazz

Carlin getting silver. Adam Peaty got another world record as he

stormed to victory in the 100 metre breast stroke whilst Jazz Carlin was

forced to miss the games in London four years ago because of illness

but finished second and the form and metre freestyle. Here is Adam wild.

This was the site Team GB, all of Great Britain had been waiting for.

Having broken his own world record in qualifying, there could have been

no further favourite Van Adam Peaty. Still in an Olympic final, there are

no certainties, nothing can be taken for granted. The leading from the

font is what this 21-year-old does best. Roared on by his family, once

again no one could get close. COMMENTATOR: Absolutely fantastic.

Adam Peaty takes Olympic gold for Great Britain by an absolute

straight. He has obliterated the world record. The first men's gold

in the pool for a generation, no proud parents. Wow. That's all I can

say. I don't know whether to cry. I'm ecstatic, absolutely so proud of

him. Family support and the support of Team GB, watching from the camp,

Adam Peaty, and inspiration. It's so surreal to get the first gold, but

this is a product of seven years. More importantly, I did it for my

country because it means so much to me. The first medal one, Britain did

not have to wait long for a second. A silver for Jazz Carlin in the 400

metre freestyle. COMMENTATOR: A wonderful silver

medal for Great Britain. A massive lifetime best. Well done. I was

watching Adam break the world record and win the gold and that was a

special feeling, I had goose bumps, so I knew I had to stay calm and

relaxed before the race but I'm absolutely gobsmacked. I can't

believe the time, as well, I'm so happy! Britton on the podium in Rio,

plenty to inspire, plenty of hope for more moments like this. -- Great

Britain. Joining me now is David carry. David, let's start with Adam

Peaty. He came into this as favourite. He's already broken his

own world record but he had to execute and he certainly did that.

He really did and right from the start, as well, heats in the

morning, 21 years old, first-time Olympian, he breaks the world record

and backs it up in the semifinal and does this incredible swim. So it was

just wonderful to be able to see that all that planning, all that

detailed work over the last seven years he's been doing with his coach

in Derby has paid off. That is the moment right there. The jubilation.

And his grandmother as well. There he is, taking his place on the

podium and winning that gold medal. Let's talk about Jazz Carlin. It's

been difficult for her because she missed London 2012 because the

vanilla is. A special moment for her as she winds silver in the 400

metres freestyle. It really is. She was in the stands of London 2012 to

see the amazing swimmers there but for her to be able to get in there

immediately after Adam, and get a silver medal is brilliant. She

didn't have an easy run into this. In the trials, she didn't qualify in

this event but in the 800. So to be able to see her execute, as you said

before, and deliver when it counts, it's so nice to see. You can see the

smile which comes across, how happy she is and that's the first Welsh

female swimming medal in 87 years. Incredible, fantastic. Talking about

a man who always delivers, Michael Phelps, the world's greatest ever

Olympian, he came into these Olympics with a team gold medals, 22

in total, and has added to that again in the relay. He just never

stops. 19 times gold medallist Olympic champion. I think there's

another two or three for him, couple more relays he's looking good in and

he has that revenge match in the 100 fly, as well, so there is more to

come from this man. Just incredible. Our own in achievements pale into

insignificance. Let's stay with the Olympics. Lizzie Armistead finished

fifth in the women's road race on a course which has since been labelled

dangerous. After a difficult week for her, she sought to explain the

reasons behind the three missed drugs tests and was hugely emotional

in the interview. She missed out on a medal yesterday. The race, though,

was marred by a terrible crash to the race leader, leading at the

time, but she's OK. I mentioned earlier that I am past commenting,

I'm actually quite angry about it, because I went down there with you

and we looked at the course and we saw those edges and we knew that

this was way past being technical, this is dangerous, and that means

the people who designed the course and said what safety features they

needed to be had left it. A bit of an upset in the tennis for the Andy

Murray and brother, Jamie, are out of the doubles, knocked out in the

first round. They were seeded second, and beaten by the Brazilian

pair and they lost in the first round of the 2012 London Olympics

and in the second round for years in Beijing. Not a great moment for the

brothers. There was another surprise in the tennis. Novak Djokovic was

knocked out in the men's singles beaten by Dell Potter Row. He also

beat him back in 2012. You can see what it means of Novak Djokovic,

missing out on that potential medal as he left the court in tears,

saying this is one of the toughest losses of his life. -- one Dell

Potter. A chance of medal success later in the rugby sevens. The

women's team are facing New Zealand in the semifinals. Having won the

group, beating Fiji, this was the success, Abbey Brown sealing it with

her second try of the match. Their semifinal getaway 7pm tonight UK

time. The final should getaway at around 11pm. They will face either

Canada or Australia if they reach the final. Fingers crossed for them.

Let's look at the medal table. This is how it looks this morning. Great

Britain currently in eighth, following the success in the summing

pool. Two medals on the board so far and remember it took Team GB five

days back in 2012 before they won their first gold medal but here we

are two days in already and we have a gold medal on the board so it's

looking good so far for Team GB. "I was lying in a hospital bed

thinking I am a lunatic" - the words of Stephen Fry to actor

and director Adam Deacon in a film for this programme,

as they discuss living with the mental health

condition, bipolar. Adam shot to fame in the film

Kidulthood about three In 2012 he won BAFTA's

Rising Star award after writing But then his life

took a downward turn. Adam ended up in court twice

for trolling his former colleague on Twitter and for threatening

a stranger with a sword. He was mentally ill at the time and,

after being sectioned, he was diagnosed with bipolar

disorder or manic depression. It's a condition that affects one

in every 100 adults. We'll talk to Adam live in a moment,

but For his film he wanted to meet Stephen Fry to see how bipolar

affects him and we saw Here's an extract of their

conversation. You are one of the main people I

would find myself looking up. You had a public breakdown yourself? I

did. I suppose it almost -- it all started for me... Had I lived later

I would have been diagnosed as having ADHD. Unbelievably

disruptive, annoying person who could not stop speaking. That was

bad and disruptive and I got expelled from one school after

another. Then I thought everything was fine. I got over it in my early

20s. That is when it all started to go wrong. I realised that I was

somehow prey to these terrible moods. And so when it came to this,

I was in a play and I walked out. I had a collapse of confidence and of

happiness and a general feeling that my life was over. I got a proper

diagnosis. And that is when I thought everything was OK because I

had named the Beast, I had faced it. I was kidding myself. The watch --

be much worse suicide attempt came several years after that. I was

lying in a hospital bed thinking, I am a lunatic, I am not a sane

person. I look back at the work I've done, and I think, maybe this

stemmed from the bipolar. I look back at the movie I made. I wrote

it, directed it, and I was in it. But everyone seemed to say the same

thing. You was quite manic. They banned Red Bull, I think they

thought it was red ball! One of the things I know from my spoons is that

people who love me best read my mood more quickly than I can myself. --

from my experience. My husband hears it in my voice, sees it in my eyes.

Does it worry you? It does. I once had it so badly that I thought, had

I even a grain of religion in May, I would have thought but was talking

to me. I felt like Joan of Arc. I felt shining. It was quite

frightening in the end. You are going through hell, you are all over

the place. How did you cope with it? I have always lived my life in a

strange a public way in terms of being open about things. In the

1980s, when it was quite unusual, I came out as being gay. There are

plenty of gay people in show business but there were not many who

were out. It was a similar thing inasmuch as, if you are in our

business, it is easier to talk about your emotions because our business

is one in which emotions and experience are the ingredients for

the films or the books that we call Corp. I ended up having this

breakdown. But I ended up making it even more public because of Twitter.

I was writing this crazy stuff on Twitter without even realising it.

Sometimes I wish somebody took my phone away and just like made me

come of social media for a while. What I sometimes feel as well is

that life can seem like a struggle and a fight. Imagine you are in a

dense wood. You're constantly hacking away. You think if you hack

your way hard enough, everything will be wonderful. Then you realise

with a shock that human existence is being in the wood. My main worry,

which were I was hoping to get some advice from you, I had a real fear,

will you ever work in the industry again? Will they still think you are

mad, you are not reliable? There were all these fears. What do you do

to let people know that you are cool, you are fine? Exactly what you

are done. The upfront with them. You have the advantage that you are in a

soft cushioning kind of industry, where people know and understand

you. You have the disadvantage that you are acting it out in public.

Have you ever been quite frustrated with it in the sense that there are

jobs you want to do but you are being told, Stephen, we are not

really sure? Only when I made a terrible... When I went down a

terrible corridor of drug-taking. It is quite possible I was denied work,

rightly, because I was really a mess. Look at the remarkable people

in our history who have had this condition. Look what they have

achieved and be confident that it is not a death sentence. That's it. And

maybe, Adam, this is a theory I have, and it is fanciful, but you

know how our gene pool, what makes us humans? We had ancestors, some

ancestors were hunters, they went out there and they were physical and

strong. But not all ancestors. And maybe the human race needs some

people who can do that. Other people who stay at home and do the cooking.

Men and women. And to paint on the walls of the cave and tell stories.

And that makes the human race a better race. And maybe you have some

were totally out there, freakish. They make bizarre, bold decisions,

have weird fantasies, and actually are to all intents and purposes

almost mad, but they advance the Gino as well. Humanity has, without

us, it would be a weaker species. Part of this bewildering complex and

ambiguous thing that is humankind, is oddity and quirkiness. And you

are privileged to be one of those who is just a little bit odd. Those

differences do not make the world more difficult. They make the world

more rich. Stephen Fry in conversation with

Adam Deacon. You can see the full film on our programme page. Do you

share it. It is such an insight, it really is.

Adam Deacon is here now, along with Georgina Bobb

and Denise Martin, who also have bipolar.

And Sophie Corlett from the mental health charity MIND.

What did you learn from making that film about your own condition? I

learned that there are more people out there than what I ever thought

suffered from this. And people are quite willing to talk about it if

you give them the chance. And people want to talk about it. They want

their stories to be out there. That was one of the main things that took

me by surprise. A woman recognised you and wanted to talk to you about

her condition, didn't she? Yes, and that kept happening while I was

filming. So many people open up. People want that voice. They want to

let people know what is going on. I think people feel quite frustrated

that it is only now we are starting to jump on it and talk about it

more, and the media are talking about it more. What did you think of

what Adam discovered? I thought it was great. Having bipolar myself, it

is always good to see other celebrities who can talk about the

condition quite openly. I think it is good for generally people who

suffer from a bipolar to have is people on TV and other role models

to see they have bipolar and relate to them. I think it is great. I

think it was really powerful and honest. I think Adam is very brave

to share it with smack. Why is it important to speak openly about

bipolar? What is the stigma associated with it? Generally

speaking, myself, I have bipolar and I am very sort of open about it. I

work in television. I worked behind the scenes as a production

coordinator. I don't usually discuss my bipolar, essentially, because I

know it is something that people may have prejudice against. What do they

think someone with bipolar is like? I'm not sure what they think. But I

have noticed it before. People are not that forthcoming when it comes

to having bipolar. But essentially I just think it is about time that

people literally can go out there and be like, you know, I have got

bipolar, I am proud. We are normal people at the end of the day. I

think the more people talk about it, the better it is for everybody. What

is the stigma associated with it, Denise? What did people think of

someone with bipolar? I think they are often frightened of how that

person might present. Very often it is like of awareness and lack of

knowledge. Like Georgina said, we are just regular people. We have a

thing called bipolar we have to live with. But stigma is a very big

thing. The more people know, the more people share, the more people

talk, it will break down that stigma. Stephen Fry used the word

mad. He said he was lying a hospital bed thinking he was a lunatic. Do

you think that is part of the stigma? That others think if you

have bipolar there is something crazy about you? Yes, that was my

main worry. That is why I wanted to get the message out there. You are

not mad. You may go through a low time or something might happen but

you are not mad. I think that was the main thing I wanted to get

across. That is the main stigma. People don't really know how to deal

with that. Sophie, how does the stigma impact on people? It is a

real range. It is good to see people more open and the stigma is being

broken. But people face all sorts of things. People find it difficult to

get into work. They face stigma from their own families. That ends up

with people almost stigmatising themselves because they are worried

about speaking out. I think that is the saddest thing in a way, when

stigma starts to affect people's own behaviour, which means it is

difficult for people to seek help, from friends, work, from the NHS.

The knock-on impact can be devastating for people. Adam, can we

talk about the highs of bipolar and the lows. When you are in a high

period, you talked about writing, acting and directing your own film

in a high period, that sounds very productive, but not necessarily a

good thing because you know a huge low is coming? Yes, what is weird

about my kind of story is that when I was doing these things I had no

idea I had any mental health issue. I was just doing these things for

years thinking, this is quite a normal way to live. But when I look

back, I wasn't sleeping, I wasn't eating properly, I was just kind of

in severe tunnel vision mode of thinking, I have got to get this

stuff done. It wasn't until it all went wrong, when I look back and

realise. So now, I am learning about the difference between the manic

stages and the low stages. But since I have come out of Hospital, it has

been on one level. Which I guess is a good thing. I never want to get

myself in any trouble like that again. What about yourself, Denise,

in terms of the contrast? For me, particularly, depression is a

problem. That is much more painful to deal with. But like Adam said,

when my mood is elated, I am a lot more productive, I write a lot of

lists, I perhaps some -- do some grandiose things and have ideas I

would never normally have about things I could maybe do in the

future but it is not going to happen because it is part of my illness. Do

you do things you shouldn't do? Yes, absolutely. I sometimes take risks,

spend money that I haven't got. Talk too much. Yeah. It is very, very

difficult to manage. But as I've got older, I'm learning to associate

Triggers that might lead to a change in mood, especially sleep. Going

without sleep for a long period makes me poorly. What about

yourself? I take medication every day. Is that an antidepressant, what

is it? It is anti-psychotic medication. It keeps me well. I

don't experience any highs or any lows. Do you feel like you? Yes,

totally like me. Before I was diagnosed I was up and down. Going

out shopping, spending all my money, I was overly confident. Now I am

more sort of to myself, and normal. I get my confidence back. But I just

think generally bipolar is an illness, it is a good thing as well

as a bad thing. I think it is a good thing in general. I've got some

messages on social media. In terms of people watching and listening to

your talking about this now, and they might be recognising some of

what you are talking about but not realise they have bipolar or a

mental health condition, what is the advice?

Talk to people and ask them their views of you and whether they have

noticed that. As Adam did with his friend in the film are full to your

friend was incredibly honest. Yes, absolutely, talk to your GP. We have

lots of information on the website to help you spot the signs in

yourself so there are things you can do but definitely go and talk to the

GP. As Georgina said, there is talking treatments, medication,

which you got, Adam, and also lots of tips about how, if you are

diagnosed, how you can do things for yourself to keep yourself well.

Sleep, exercise. Different people find different things useful search

might take a little bit of a while. Just to sort out what works for you

but definitely there are things out there to help you. Let me read

semesters for you, Adam. This one says, Adam seems like a great

person, I wish continued success in the future. Kelly says my mum took

her own life in 2013. She was bipolar since I was a baby. No

support for her or her children was given. We grew up scared, confused.

Rosie says, your comments on cannabis consumption was

interesting. I worked in mental health and came across people who

developed bipolar after smoking marijuana. Pam on Facebook

absolutely amazing film and for Adam to do this is brilliant. It's really

helped me understand this, all the best to you, Adam, you deserve the

best in the world. Thank you for those. What would you say to those

people? It's really hard to hear about someone killing themselves

with it. Thank you so much for the great support, the messages and

stuff, but it's such a serious subject. Sometimes I feel a bit

overwhelmed by it. I never thought I would be kind of sitting here

talking about this stuff. It's all kind of happened. I felt like I have

had to erase that, that, I think, you know, as everyone has said,

you're not totally out of the game, I don't think. There is still hope.

The problem that we have is that it seems like, especially with the

people I've spoken to, is that sometimes it just feels like people

have to go through the hardest time before they get help. Personally I

went to the GP about a year before I had any kind of breakdown and I was

just told, I'm sure you are fine. I've seen you on TV, you look well,

man. That kind of stuff does not help and when you are getting told

that by a doctor, you feel lost and I felt like I only got help once it

all went wrong. That needs to be solved. That's a really good point.

It's the same with most people. When I was hospitalised, about two or

three weeks I was in hospital, it was literally one I had an episode

and it was quite severe. That was when I was treated, luckily, and I'm

very productive and successful now, but I don't think people who have

mental health issues, I feel they shouldn't have to go through that in

order to be treated. I think that's really important. This tweet says,

are wonderful, humbling conversation this morning on the programme. Thank

you to you all are. I have been diagnosed with bipolar and I have

been inspired by people open about it and their illness. Fight stigma.

Sam says, great to see mental health can be openly spoken about and we

need to make it more accessible to talk about. You talked, Georgina,

saying you have disclosed bipolar at a job interview. Yes, I have. Did

you get any of those jobs? No, I did not. For all the other interviews I

didn't disclose, I managed to get the job. What is the advice when it

comes to trying to get a job? Everyone has to do what feels

comfortable for them, so I would never say always disclose, but if

you want to get support, when you are in a job, and for many people

that's going to be really important, it's important to disclose at some

point otherwise you won't get support. Do think about it and think

about the timing and when you might disclose but also be aware of the

sort of job you are in sometimes. There are legal requirements so you

may need to check those out. That's not every job, obviously. We are

working really hard to get to the point where it would be fine for

everybody to disclose, and that's how it ought to be but,

unfortunately, not every employer is at that place at the moment and

often the people interviewing, they don't necessarily even have any

understanding of mental health. They can just be confused about it. This

comes from Mike, I suffer from bipolar everyday and I'm judged

because I look OK on the outside but no one has any idea what's going on

on the inside. Thank you very much for being so candid. Thank you.

And at 11, straight after our programme, you have the chance

to put your own questions to Adam as he will be taking part

in a Facebook live event on the BBC Facebook page.

Go to facebook.com/bbcnews after the programme at 11 o'clock.

Adam will answer any question. He is good for that. That is at 11

o'clock. Let me bring you this news to do the Labour Party. Five new

members of the Labour Party have won a High Court battle over their legal

right to vote in the forthcoming leadership election. Five new

members of Labour have won a High Court battle over the legal right to

vote in the forthcoming leadership election. Some people, despite being

new joiners, where barred from voting for either Jeremy Corbyn or

Owen Smith, but five new members have won their legal right to take

part in that event. Coming up in a moment,

new research given exclusively to this programme shows over half

of boys at secondary school see eating disorders as an issue

for both girls and boys. And still to come,

we will have the latest Rio video diary filmed for you by Olympic

trampolinist Kat Driscoll. Share is Ben in the newsroom. --

here is Ben in the newsroom. Team GB's Olympic trampolinist

Cat Driscoll, who will compete in her first event this coming

Friday, and marathon runner Aly Dixon have been keeping

a video diary for you. A bomb has exploded in south-western

Pakistan killing more than 50 people and wounding many more. The

explosion took place and most of them victims were lawyers were

brought in the victim of a colleague had been shot dead. Edward Daly,

whose image went worldwide during bloody Sunday, has died. The

82-year-old had been ill in hospital. The father, the image of

the then Father Daly, waving handkerchiefs, as one of the victims

of the bloody Sunday was carried to safety, was one of the most enduring

images of the troubles. A five-day strike by members of the RMT union

at Southern rail is underway. It will affect hundreds of thousands of

commuters. It's over a plan by the operators for drivers rather than

guards to open and close carriage doors. Southern rail says it will

only be able to run 60% of its services. All the Delta airline

flights have been grounded after the company describes a system outage

across the USA. The airline says it is working to resolve the issue. A

damning report by the children's services Inspectorate Ofsted says

there are growing levels of violence between young people towards staff

at the Medway secure training centre in Kent. Reports say the centre has

lost two thirds of its staff in the last year which means most people

working there are now very inexperienced. The centre was run by

GE for respite in March it announced it was withdrawing from the

contract. British people are under reporting how many calories they

consume by as much as a half. Tests show people eat 3000 calories a day

on average but claimed to have eaten only 2000. The behavioural insights

team warns that recent surveys suggesting dropping calorie intake

be misleading. That's a summary of the latest news. Do join me for BBC

newsroom live at 11am. Cheers, Ben. Now the sport. Let's get more on the

success in the summing pool at the Rio Olympics for the Adam Peaty

storming to victory in the men's 100 metre breast stroke final. He broke

his world record a game just as he did to qualify for the final. It's

the first gold medal won by a British man at an Olympics in 28

years in the pool. Jazz Carlin one Great Britain second medal of the

game winning silver in the women's 400 meter freestyle after missing

the London Olympics back in 2012 because of an illness. She received

her silver medal this afternoon, and set a new personal best in the event

for some incredible performance from her. Lizzie Armistead, the cyclist,

finished fifth on the women's road race on a course which afterwards is

labelled dangerous. It was a difficult build-up for Lizzie

Armistead following her three missed drug tests for that she missed out

on a medal in the race which was actually really marred I what was a

terrible crash to the race leader. Some cricket news for the England

beat Pakistan by 141 runs in the third test edge Boston to take a 2-1

series lead with one more test played -- Edgbaston. They could

return to the top of the rankings if they win. The next match begins on

Thursday. The latter Ibrahim vitch scored a winner. Man United beat

Leicester in the Community Shield. A debut goal from the striker has

recently joined the club, linking up with manager Jose Mourinho. Celtic

made a winning start to the season. Scott Sinclair came off the bench to

score with ten minutes left to go in the match. That win coming against

hearts at Tynecastle. Only one story in town this morning and that is the

success of Team GB's swimmers overnight in Rio. Cheers, John,

thank you very much. Team GB's Olympic trampolinist

Cat Driscoll, who will compete in her first event this coming

Friday, and marathon runner Aly Dixon have been keeping

a video diary for you. Here are Cat's thoughts after taking

part in Rio's absorbing and sometimes surreal opening

ceremony which was her first ever. There are some flashing images

in her piece from the start. The first two British athletes

across online today have guaranteed their selection for Rio. What a

dream come true that will be for Ali Dixon. You are off to Rio, Ali!

We're on the bus now. We walked around the village in formation

getting ready for the opening ceremony. Bring it on. Very fancy,

very British. We are very excited to experience the opening ceremony. We

got to meet Andy Murray on the way round and have a chat with him which

is really cool. We can chat to the big sports stars. Get to know a few

more people. Everyone is excited. It's a privilege we get to be part

of the team going. We are very, very excited.

Just on the bus on the way back from the opening ceremony. Absolutely

amazing experience. Really enjoyed it. Luckily we got to get on the

front row. Just behind Andy, which was really, really cool. My first

experience of an opening ceremony. I guess that's it. It's officially

started now! We on the bus going to the village. We are with the

Brazilians and the Germans. We're on the bus now. We will see a little

bit of what they are doing in their qualifications. It's been a great

start. Just watched the girls in their qualification event, which was

our first, so it was really cool to see that. Feel the atmosphere.

Really cool the British girls were in with the Brazilian team so the

audience were going crazy, really cheering, so it was great to

experience that. The girls did a great job, made the finals, which

was a great challenge, so was good to get out of the village and see a

bit of a competition and support the girls, so a very good day.

Let's have a look ahead to what's coming up for Team GB

Tom Daley is hoping to dive his way to a gold medal tonight with Dan

Goodfellow in the synchronised ten metres. They took bronze earlier

this year at the World Cup and silver leather there could be a

medal for James died. The first-ever Olympic medals for rugby sevens will

be awarded today. Great Britain are in for a -- with a shout after

beating Fiji last night. Great Britain's men put in an impressive

display on Saturday to reach tonight's gymnastics final. You will

have to stay up until just after half past ten to find out how they

get on. And however they get on, we will report tomorrow. Next, a

damning report by Ofsted shows there are growing levels of Ireland's at

Medway secure training centre in Kent. -- violence. Alison Holt is

here. What do Ofsted say? Inspectors went in in June and looked at how

the place was functioning. They say they found very high levels of

violence and that they were growing. That this was between the young

people there and towards staff. It comes after a troubled period for

Medway. In January, a BBC Panorama investigation led to allegations

that some staff were bullying trainees. It led to a police

investigation, which is still ongoing, a number of arrests, and

also G4S, the company running Medway, decided it would withdraw

from the contract and handed over to the National Offender Management

Service. That happened on July the 1st. This report is the last few

weeks of G4S. What will happen to the Medway training centre now? The

recommendations by Ofsted that will be implemented, it is a time of

change. One of the things the report points to is the huge turnover of

staff. They say in the last year, two thirds of staff have left. That

means the people who have replaced them are largely inexperienced. That

makes it more difficult to find ways of avoiding confrontation, to head

of the problems. As staff become more experienced and there is more

training, the emphasis will be on changing that. There is a new

management team in there and it will be a tough job. What happens at this

secure training centre? This is a place where children between 12 and

18 are sent by the courts. It is meant to be different from a young

offenders institution. It is meant to provide more rehabilitation and

education for young people. G4S, they have sent us their statement.

They say the report is deeply disappointing, coming as it does

after a number of years in which Ofsted rated Medway as good or

outstanding. They say they will learn from what has happened. Of

course, they have now passed on the management of the centre. Thank you.

New research given exclusively to this programme shows over half

of boys at secondary school see eating disorders as an issue

The study, involving 1,000 boys aged between eight and 18,

shows that even some eight-year-olds are increasingly

Evidence suggests that some of the children surveyed have even

considered extreme measures such as steroid use and skipping meals

to achieve what they consider to be a perfect body.

Two thirds of boys questioned for the survey by a think tank set

up by the advertising industry say it's unacceptable to airbrush

the body shapes of male models in advertising.

Let's talk to Mark Lund, the chair of Media Smart,

a not-for-profit company that creates free educational

Andrew Halls, the Head teacher at King's College

And Dr Pooky Knightsmith, a director at the Charlie

Waller Memorial Trust, a charity that works for more open

discussion around mental health issues.

Welcome all of you. I am going to start with you Andrew, as a head

teacher. Is this an issue? It must be. The whole trend of the 21st

century in the West has been towards a fascination with the individual

self. I think what we have seen with girls has begun to impact on boys.

They do care what they look like. We always did. I am sure boys in the

70s as well. The preoccupation with perfection has become slightly

nightmarish. I think that most affect boys. Obviously most boys are

fine and get through life normally. The figures that are interesting are

what evidence is there of a growth rate in problems? Even in 2011, the

NHS was reporting a two thirds rise over ten years in males with eating

disorders. It has got worse. The male grooming industry, that used to

be a comical bit of splash on brewed for teenage boys in the 70s, 80s,

has become a ?15 billion industry. Just this week in the press male

body images have been everywhere, from David Cameron's stomach to

Orlando Bloom in other respects. And Adam Peaty, which we see on our

television screens. 20 hours training a week, looking ripped. It

is definitely coming into the teenage boy consciousness and it is

important to find ways to help them. How have your own experiences of

anorexia when you were younger informed your work? In the interest

of full disclosure, I am Indus -- recovery again from anorexia now. I

was at a school which was very caring, very supportive. They did

everything they could. However, there was not the help or advice

available. There was an support for school staff to help them, to help

their pupils. I truly believe my school would have done anything they
