:00:08. > :00:09.Hello, it's Thursday, it's 9 o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire,

:00:10. > :00:15.Team GB's women's hockey team make history as they reach their first

:00:16. > :00:25.It's means they're guaranteed at least a silver medal

:00:26. > :00:32.What can I say? Seven games out of seven is not shabby. The girls were

:00:33. > :00:34.superb today. Tactically executed spot on.

:00:35. > :00:37.We'll have all the latest from Rio including the men's triathlon -

:00:38. > :00:46.can the Brownlee brothers repeat their 2012 success?

:00:47. > :00:52.7000 anti-Muslim racist tweets were posted last month according to data

:00:53. > :00:57.seen by this programme. Victims tell us how they have been targeted. Do

:00:58. > :01:03.you want to talk about sharia law to me? I wasn't talking to you. Who

:01:04. > :01:08.were you talking to about sharia law, sir?

:01:09. > :01:12.And the wait is over for thousands of sixth formers in England,

:01:13. > :01:14.Wales and Northern Ireland as they see if they've got

:01:15. > :01:27.Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 each weekday morning.

:01:28. > :01:30.We want to know this morning, whether you think we should hold

:01:31. > :01:32.an Olympic Parade for Team GB athletes and paralympic athletes

:01:33. > :01:37.There isn't one planned, despite it being the most successful

:01:38. > :01:41.Games outside of Britain in terms of medals.

:01:42. > :01:45.So, would it be a fitting way to thank our athletes, to honour our

:01:46. > :01:52.Obviously it'll cost money in terms of policing and security

:01:53. > :01:54.and there would be traffic disruption?

:01:55. > :02:02.And if you do think it's a good idea -

:02:03. > :02:06.Let me know - use the hashtag VictoriaLIVE and if you text,

:02:07. > :02:09.you will be charged at the standard network rate.

:02:10. > :02:11.Let's get the latest on the Olympics with Hugh,

:02:12. > :02:14.and no medals yesterday for Team GB, but not too much disappointment.

:02:15. > :02:16.Hello, well no disappointment at all really, Team GB weren't

:02:17. > :02:21.expecting to win many medals, the one that was expected

:02:22. > :02:24.was in the 470 sailing where Saskia Clark and Hannah Mills

:02:25. > :02:28.They would have sealed their medals yesterday but there wasn't enough

:02:29. > :02:35.So weather permitting they'll cross the finish line in that

:02:36. > :02:44.There will be a Gold or Silver in the Women's Hockey competition.

:02:45. > :02:46.Team GB reached their first final with an excellent 3-0

:02:47. > :02:52.They go on to face double defending Champions,

:02:53. > :03:05.There was, though, a feeling of 'what could have been'

:03:06. > :03:08.for Sindy Ofilli, on the left, who ran alongside her sister

:03:09. > :03:10.Tiffany Porter in the final of the 100 metres hurdles.

:03:11. > :03:14.Ofilli was in third place for bronze after the final hurdle but missed

:03:15. > :03:17.out on a medal by just two-hundreths of a second to Kristi Castlin

:03:18. > :03:22.She was edged out in a dip for the line and as you can expect

:03:23. > :03:32.Porter finished down in 7th but Ofili ran a season's best

:03:33. > :03:36.and she called the result 'bittersweet.'

:03:37. > :03:41.Usain Bolt was back on the track

:03:42. > :03:49.Doing what you saying I'll does best, yes. -- what Usain Bolt does

:03:50. > :03:51.best. You may have seen the images of him

:03:52. > :03:54.grinning for the cameras Well, he was back on track

:03:55. > :03:59.to defend his 200 metre title as he aims for an 8th

:04:00. > :04:03.Olympic Gold in the event. But just look at him being pushed

:04:04. > :04:06.all the way to the line He actually had a little word as he

:04:07. > :04:15.crossed the line in 19.78 seconds. The pair comfortably moved

:04:16. > :04:17.through to tonight's final but Bolt wasn't happy

:04:18. > :04:24.at being made to work hard. Britain's Adam Gemili came

:04:25. > :04:43.through in third to qualify Yeah, he was supposed to slow down

:04:44. > :04:48.but he didn't! That's why I said, what are you doing, it's the

:04:49. > :04:52.semifinals! He said he had to push me. You said you were tired after

:04:53. > :04:57.the 100 but you were not showing it on the track? I was a little bit

:04:58. > :04:59.lazy today but I executed well and that is the key thing.

:05:00. > :05:04.What have we got to look forward to today?

:05:05. > :05:06.Well it's a big day for the Brownlee brothers of Yorkshire.

:05:07. > :05:09.Jonny and Alastair will go in the triathlon at about 3

:05:10. > :05:12.The Brownlees will of course be amongst the favourites

:05:13. > :05:17.after Alastair took the Gold in London four years ago.

:05:18. > :05:20.His younger brother Jonny took the bronze but the man that

:05:21. > :05:21.split them in London, Spain's Javier Gomez

:05:22. > :05:24.will not be at the Games, after breaking his elbow

:05:25. > :05:33.Gomez has won the last three ITU World Championships so that

:05:34. > :05:37.Also in Rio, Olympic Champion Nicola Adams will fight

:05:38. > :05:40.for a place in the final of the Women's flyweight boxing.

:05:41. > :05:42.She is already guaranteed at least Bronze and Liam Heath

:05:43. > :05:45.and Jon Schofield go in the Men's 200 metres Kayak Double

:05:46. > :05:54.The Bronze medallists from London say they have 'unfinished

:05:55. > :06:00.So, no medals on Day 12 for Team GB, they are still second

:06:01. > :06:03.in the Medal table though, with high hopes for today in Rio.

:06:04. > :06:11.One last thing that I should mention. In the last hour or so Team

:06:12. > :06:15.GB has confirmed that one of its athletes has been involved in what

:06:16. > :06:19.it calls and incidents of theft in Rio, following reports an athlete

:06:20. > :06:24.was held at gunpoint returning to their accommodation. We will have

:06:25. > :06:31.more on that. Obviously it is early morning in Rio now. Thank you very

:06:32. > :06:32.much. We will try and find out for you.

:06:33. > :06:34.Annita is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

:06:35. > :06:39.As the Government unveils its long-delayed obesity

:06:40. > :06:41.strategy for England, the BBC has learned that some local

:06:42. > :06:44.health services don't have enough funding to provide help to families

:06:45. > :06:48.Charities says children and families seeking support face a confused

:06:49. > :06:57.Here's our health correspondent Dominic Hughes.

:06:58. > :07:02.I bounce on the trampoline, I do roller-skating,

:07:03. > :07:06.Holly Ann is now an active 11-year-old,

:07:07. > :07:11.A few years ago, she was putting on too much weight.

:07:12. > :07:14.But when her mum sought help from the family doctor,

:07:15. > :07:23.It was very frustrating, and he didn't really seem

:07:24. > :07:27.to know what to suggest, other than things that may have gone

:07:28. > :07:30.on a waiting list or things that wouldn't have been

:07:31. > :07:37.The obesity charity Hoop believes this is an all-too-common story.

:07:38. > :07:39.It says less than half of clinical commissioning groups,

:07:40. > :07:43.the bodies that pay for local health services in England,

:07:44. > :07:45.provide funding to help families struggling with obesity.

:07:46. > :07:48.We need to treat it as the war on obesity,

:07:49. > :07:54.That has to start at the top, has to come from government,

:07:55. > :07:59.And then the CCGs, the local authorities need to work together.

:08:00. > :08:03.Let's have some joined up thinking here.

:08:04. > :08:05.Health experts say tackling obesity, particularly childhood obesity,

:08:06. > :08:08.isn't just a case of eating less and moving more.

:08:09. > :08:14.and a strategy for the next two or three decades.

:08:15. > :08:19.The Government's new obesity strategy

:08:20. > :08:21.promotes a healthy diet and reducing sugar.

:08:22. > :08:27.cooking classes help patients get a grip on weight problems.

:08:28. > :08:30.Tried eating better, do a lot more exercise

:08:31. > :08:38.You're getting your five a day, you feel a lot different,

:08:39. > :08:42.and I also had a weight problem, and it's subsiding a bit now.

:08:43. > :08:45.One of the best things to be able to do is to cook for yourself...

:08:46. > :08:48.But money for schemes like this one is tight,

:08:49. > :08:53.and the body that represents clinical commissioning groups

:08:54. > :08:54.across England says there are competing demands

:08:55. > :08:57.for limited funds - difficult choices have to be made.

:08:58. > :09:12.Ministers want children to be more active, but many health campaigners

:09:13. > :09:14.say the childhood obesity strategy is a missed opportunity and families

:09:15. > :09:17.will continue to struggle to get the help they need.

:09:18. > :09:25.campaigners have criticised the campaign for not going far enough.

:09:26. > :09:28.The minister who was previously in charge of drawing up

:09:29. > :09:30.the child obesity strategy, Jane Ellison, has dismissed

:09:31. > :09:32.accusations the plans didn't go far enough to stop supermarket promotion

:09:33. > :09:38.One of the reasons it's so important to tackle the formulation of food at

:09:39. > :09:40.source is because then as that flows through into promotions we will see

:09:41. > :09:45.more healthy food featured in those promotions. But we also have to give

:09:46. > :09:47.credit to supermarkets for the work they've already done voluntarily.

:09:48. > :09:49.Black and minority ethnic people in Britain face far-reaching

:09:50. > :09:51.inequality in many areas, including education, health

:09:52. > :09:56.and criminal justice, according to a report published today.

:09:57. > :09:58.The Equality and Human Rights Commission says

:09:59. > :09:59.unemployment rates are also significantly higher

:10:00. > :10:07.with black graduates earning 23% less on average

:10:08. > :10:17.New research from the think tank Demos, exclusive to this programme,

:10:18. > :10:19.suggests that 7,000 Islamophobic tweets were sent in English every

:10:20. > :10:27.collected from tweets sent in English-speaking countries over

:10:28. > :10:29.the last five months, also suggests Islamophobic tweets

:10:30. > :10:31.increase in the wake of terrorist attacks.

:10:32. > :10:33.And stay with us for more on that story, just

:10:34. > :10:39.Thousands of students are receiving their A-level results in England,

:10:40. > :10:51.UCAS says a record number have been accepted at university,

:10:52. > :10:55.Those who have done better than expected may find they have

:10:56. > :10:57.more choice about where they want to study.

:10:58. > :11:05.Today they get their results, two months after sitting exams.

:11:06. > :11:07.Record numbers of candidates sat A-level maths this year,

:11:08. > :11:13.But cuts to sixth-form funding mean some less-popular subjects

:11:14. > :11:19.We are seeing a continued drop in the number of subjects,

:11:20. > :11:22.including modern languages, music, design technology.

:11:23. > :11:26.And one of the reasons behind this, we believe,

:11:27. > :11:29.is because the funding for 16 to 18-year-olds is at such a low

:11:30. > :11:32.level, that schools and colleges can no longer afford to run

:11:33. > :11:40.Since a cap on student numbers was lifted in 2015,

:11:41. > :11:42.universities have been able to recruit as many students

:11:43. > :11:47.That, coupled with a fall in the number of 18-year-olds,

:11:48. > :11:52.means there may be more unfilled places at good universities.

:11:53. > :11:54.The appeals process for candidates who don't receive their expected

:11:55. > :12:03.grades has been tightened up this year.

:12:04. > :12:05.Independent schools say that might affect borderline candidates

:12:06. > :12:08.For those who do enter campuses this year, fees

:12:09. > :12:10.at some universities, such as Exeter, will rise to ?9,200

:12:11. > :12:16.a year, as colleges increased costs in line with inflation.

:12:17. > :12:19.Two American Olympic swimmers have been released after they were taken

:12:20. > :12:22.off their flight home by Brazilian police over their claim

:12:23. > :12:24.that they were victims of an armed robbery.

:12:25. > :12:28.Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were questioned by police in Rio.

:12:29. > :12:31.The pair, along with Ryan Lochte and another team member,

:12:32. > :12:37.say their taxi was attacked as they returned from a party.

:12:38. > :12:39.The government's being urged to force local councils in England

:12:40. > :12:41.to provide emergency accommodation for homeless people

:12:42. > :12:49.MPs on the Communities and Local Government Committee say

:12:50. > :12:51.a lack of social housing, steep rises in private rents

:12:52. > :12:53.and welfare reforms have contributed to rising homelessness.

:12:54. > :13:02.Our Social Affairs Correspondent, Michael Buchanan, reports.

:13:03. > :13:04.In here is where we have fires to keep warm at night...

:13:05. > :13:09.Mental health problems, a family breakdown, and this shelter

:13:10. > :13:12.A single man, he was not a priority for help.

:13:13. > :13:15.Homelessness, understandably, was isolating.

:13:16. > :13:32.It is just like you are walking around with nothing.

:13:33. > :13:38.Sometimes you just hope the nearest bus will knock you over.

:13:39. > :13:39.Homelessness is on the rise across England.

:13:40. > :13:41.Since 2010, the number of people in temporary accommodation

:13:42. > :13:48.Rough sleeping has increased by 100%.

:13:49. > :13:51.MPs say some councils are not doing enough to help and are pushing plans

:13:52. > :13:55.to make it harder for councils to turn people away.

:13:56. > :14:02.If someone is homeless and they go to the council and all they get

:14:03. > :14:06.is a piece of paper with some phone numbers on there to ring estate

:14:07. > :14:09.agency and they aren't up to date or they get a website with no

:14:10. > :14:11.access to a computer, that is not adequate.

:14:12. > :14:18.Under the MPs' plans, councils would be forced

:14:19. > :14:21.to help people like Mark, providing up to two months

:14:22. > :14:25.Local councils say they could reduce homelessness if they were given more

:14:26. > :14:30.The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds fears that a rare bird

:14:31. > :14:32.of prey, which has disappeared in the Highlands, may have become

:14:33. > :14:40.The young Hen Harrier, which is a protected species,

:14:41. > :14:43.was fitted with a tracker, but the signals stopped on a grouse

:14:44. > :14:46.moorland where a number of golden eagles have also gone missing.

:14:47. > :14:48.More than 80,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes,

:14:49. > :14:50.as eight large wildfires continue to rage in California.

:14:51. > :14:56.Thousands of firefighters are battling the blazes,

:14:57. > :14:59.but officials say one of the largest is still out of control.

:15:00. > :15:13.For my help after mile the blue cup fire burns and burns. The ground is

:15:14. > :15:17.tender dry, baking hot and a strong breeze is fanning the flames.

:15:18. > :15:22.Conditions for firefighters could hardly be worse. There is

:15:23. > :15:26.destruction here and teams are searching remains of homes in case

:15:27. > :15:27.anyone was trapped but counting the cost will have to wait as the fire

:15:28. > :15:36.marches on. In this tourist town, these are

:15:37. > :15:42.nervous moments - residents have been ordered to leave but some are

:15:43. > :15:49.staying put. We packed last night, we are ready to get up and go at any

:15:50. > :15:53.point in time. It must be stressful. Very stressful, yeah. Pretty crazy,

:15:54. > :15:57.having to pack up my stuff and get ready to leave, a crazy thought,

:15:58. > :16:07.knowing that your house might burn down. , this fire is far from

:16:08. > :16:12.unique, half a dozen are burning across California, and more than 20

:16:13. > :16:16.are ablaze in the western United States. James Cook, BBC News, in

:16:17. > :16:18.southern California. That is a summary of the latest

:16:19. > :16:26.news, more at 9:30. Thank you for your messages about an

:16:27. > :16:31.Olympic parade, I will read a couple for now, Christopher says, why do we

:16:32. > :16:35.want an Olympic parade? It is a waste of money. Stuart says, because

:16:36. > :16:41.there is nothing else to celebrate in this country, and this is quite

:16:42. > :16:44.an achievement! Thank you for those, would you like to see an Olympic

:16:45. > :16:49.parade for Olympians and Paralympians when they return from

:16:50. > :16:51.Rio? This has been our most successful away Games ever.

:16:52. > :16:53.Almost 7,000 Islamophobic tweets were sent in English

:16:54. > :16:59.Compare that to April, when it was an average of 2,500 a day.

:17:00. > :17:02.July saw the most anti-Islamic abuse on Twitter for five months as Europe

:17:03. > :17:06.was hit by the Nice terror attack and the murder of a priest.

:17:07. > :17:09.The data has been collected by a think-tank called Demos

:17:10. > :17:12.and seen exclusively by this programme.

:17:13. > :17:16.In Catrin Nye's film, which is ten minutes long,

:17:17. > :17:19.there is some very strong racist language towards the end.

:17:20. > :17:23.of the kind of abuse that's been posted online.

:17:24. > :17:26.If you have children around, or you think you might be offended,

:17:27. > :17:29.please do come back to us in ten minutes' time.

:17:30. > :17:45.Islamophobia on Twitter is on the rise, and sometimes that turns up

:17:46. > :17:48.offline too. When you start muttering about sharia law, that is

:17:49. > :17:54.the issue! If you have got something to say, say it. These are

:17:55. > :17:58.significant increases in anti-Islamic activity... Is

:17:59. > :18:03.researchers have been looking at Islamophobia on Twitter for five

:18:04. > :18:08.months and I've given us exclusive access to the data. We have been

:18:09. > :18:15.seeing 5000 tweets every single day which are anti-Islamic, seriously

:18:16. > :18:19.derogatory and hateful. It has been building month on month, July was

:18:20. > :18:24.the worst so far, with just under 7000 tweets judged as anti-Islamic

:18:25. > :18:29.every single day, and all of that amounts to over 200,000 tweets in

:18:30. > :18:33.total. That was in the wake of terror attacks across France. The

:18:34. > :18:43.fear is how much an attack could worsen the situation in the UK. East

:18:44. > :18:46.London Mosque, more than 7000 people which appear every Friday. It is a

:18:47. > :18:54.massive landmark and a target for abuse. -- worship here. We have

:18:55. > :19:02.received a lot of hateful messages, someone is calling Islam the evil

:19:03. > :19:07.truth. What is he saying? Or she? Muslims attack and kill people,

:19:08. > :19:12.Muslims lie, Muslims cannot be friends with others who one

:19:13. > :19:20.non-Muslims. Quite graphic and gruesome, like this one. That is

:19:21. > :19:28.someone being beheaded. Yes, someone is carrying a decapitated head.

:19:29. > :19:32.Sometimes it is really abusive content which kind of leaves a scar

:19:33. > :19:38.in your mind, and I have sometimes looked at it from the point of view

:19:39. > :19:43.of my baby son, who is going to be growing up in this kind of

:19:44. > :19:51.environment, and what kind of abuse is he likely to face as a result of

:19:52. > :19:54.his faith? Ruqaiya Harris is 23, a student who lives locally and comes

:19:55. > :19:59.to the mosque. In between her studies, she is a published writer

:20:00. > :20:04.and uses Twitter at lot. This says time to go, time to pack, you have

:20:05. > :20:10.had a good run, you need to leave, you are bad enough time here, you

:20:11. > :20:15.are not integrated enough, you are threatening our way of life. And you

:20:16. > :20:19.get more messages like this after the attack in Nice? Always, it does

:20:20. > :20:26.not matter what I say or what I am writing about, the response after a

:20:27. > :20:30.terrorist attack will always be slating Islam in some kind of way or

:20:31. > :20:35.insulting Islam or insulting me or my hijab, even if I am talking about

:20:36. > :20:41.something completely unrelated, even if I am sending condolences to the

:20:42. > :20:47.victims. The Demos research shows large peaks in Islamophobic tweet

:20:48. > :20:52.around terror attacks. 20,000 today during the Nice attacks. In July,

:20:53. > :21:01.the most Islamic -- Islamophobic month so far, the rise was

:21:02. > :21:07.significant. This is a reaction to the Nice attacks. A massive red

:21:08. > :21:12.mass. Angry, abusive, anti-Islamic, all happening at the Nice. It is not

:21:13. > :21:22.surprising that people are angry after a terrorist attack. It is not

:21:23. > :21:26.surprising, no. This is what makes these attacks dangerous. These are

:21:27. > :21:29.not people that are being angry at the terrorists, not people being

:21:30. > :21:33.angry at Islamic State, it is people being angry at the wider Muslim

:21:34. > :21:37.world, people that are blaming Muslims for the terrorist attacks.

:21:38. > :21:40.These are the things which are Islamophobic, and surprising not,

:21:41. > :21:45.they are damaging, whether they are happening on the street or social

:21:46. > :21:53.media. Obama is a right head, explains a lot... What we do about

:21:54. > :21:57.it? It is very difficult, it is important to say that only a thin

:21:58. > :22:01.sliver of this is actually illegal. Only when there is an actual threat

:22:02. > :22:05.to life people breaking the law. All the rest of this is some

:22:06. > :22:16.criminality, so the people in the online space bar less protected than

:22:17. > :22:19.the offline space. -- sub criminality. Muslims doing enough to

:22:20. > :22:24.separate themselves from these attacks? I think they are, community

:22:25. > :22:29.leaders are constantly coming out to condemn these kind of attacks, at

:22:30. > :22:33.Friday prayers, the imam will often condemn attacks that really have

:22:34. > :22:37.nothing to do with them. It has come to the point where I don't really

:22:38. > :22:43.think that me condemning these kind of attacks is going to change

:22:44. > :22:46.people's opinions. While I am interviewing Ruqaiya, a man behind

:22:47. > :22:51.the stars interrupting. I asked him if he can keep his voice down. He

:22:52. > :22:58.replies, saying it is free speech, and then he adds, there is no sharia

:22:59. > :23:03.law here. You have obviously chosen to sit here right now, do you want

:23:04. > :23:09.to talk about sharia law to me? We can talk about it, you obviously

:23:10. > :23:16.said it for a reason. I wasn't talking to you. Who will you talking

:23:17. > :23:22.to about sharia law?! We are losing our rights to freedom of expression,

:23:23. > :23:27.we are, we are being told to be politically correct when we don't

:23:28. > :23:32.want to be. OK, listen, political correctness is one thing, I

:23:33. > :23:37.understand, I understand that you feel that you want to have a right

:23:38. > :23:42.to say something, I understand that. But we don't want sharia law. I am

:23:43. > :23:47.telling you, as a Muslim, I am telling you, that is not something

:23:48. > :23:52.that I want. The way I sit, Islam, I don't know too much about it, but to

:23:53. > :23:58.me I see it as an ideology, as opposed to a religion. I don't see

:23:59. > :24:02.it as a religion. But that is you, sir, that is a result of the things

:24:03. > :24:07.that you see happening around the world... I understand, when you see

:24:08. > :24:12.things happening around the world... No, no, I am not stereotyping you, I

:24:13. > :24:21.do not wish for you to stereotype me.

:24:22. > :24:24.So in a strange twist, our conversation about Islamophobia just

:24:25. > :24:28.get interrupted by some Islamophobia. What do you think of

:24:29. > :24:33.what he had to say? It makes me a bit sad that it is this normalise

:24:34. > :24:37.now, that it is like I cannot sit in a park with you and have a

:24:38. > :24:41.conversation without someone wanting to get a word in. But as the

:24:42. > :24:45.conversation went on, as I engaged with him, you know, which I think

:24:46. > :24:49.sometimes it is worth doing, because you do not know where these people

:24:50. > :24:53.form their opinions from, and I think that people really struggle to

:24:54. > :24:59.differentiate between everything they read and see and then use. The

:25:00. > :25:07.things they see happening around the world, how they disassociate that

:25:08. > :25:13.with everyday Muslims that they see. I am pretty used to abuse, things

:25:14. > :25:18.have been getting worse, people still calling the things, that has

:25:19. > :25:23.not really stopped. A jihadis sympathiser, telling me to BLEEP

:25:24. > :25:31.back home from what Islam at BLEEP I crawled out of, which is annoying.

:25:32. > :25:34.Also, someone called me an undercover jihadi. I think people

:25:35. > :25:38.are just saying it now, we are hearing about it now, I have to be

:25:39. > :25:47.honest, I think the feelings have been there for quite a while. I

:25:48. > :25:51.don't actually want to say these people are just bad, because the

:25:52. > :25:57.rest of us have a responsibility, we are not having the conversations

:25:58. > :26:02.that need to be hard for people to feel safe enough that they can have

:26:03. > :26:08.real conversations and get beyond the name-calling. Deeyah is a

:26:09. > :26:14.documentary film-maker who set up a magazine called Sisterhood to

:26:15. > :26:19.showcase female Muslim writers. Every time a terrorist attack

:26:20. > :26:22.happens, we don't need to get a bland press release from the mosque

:26:23. > :26:26.around the corner saying, we condemn it. That is not the impression I get

:26:27. > :26:31.that people want to see. I think what people do not know in the UK

:26:32. > :26:36.and in the West is that the first targets of extremists are other

:26:37. > :26:41.Muslims. Muslims have been dying and suffering at the hands of these

:26:42. > :26:45.barbaric groups for decades, and nobody cared, because the victims

:26:46. > :26:51.looked like me. Now people care because the victim looks like you.

:26:52. > :26:54.Many of us have faced, and many of our colleagues have faced,

:26:55. > :26:58.persecution, violence and imprisonment because they have taken

:26:59. > :27:03.on extremists, but that is not the story that you are often told.

:27:04. > :27:08.Deeyah says shutting down abuse is not the answer. Look, I don't like

:27:09. > :27:13.racist Islam of those, I don't like sexist pigs, I don't like lots of

:27:14. > :27:18.people, but just shutting them down is not going to resolve this, the

:27:19. > :27:22.feelings do not disappear. The fact of the matter is the UK will never

:27:23. > :27:28.be white again, it is not going to happen, it is not realistic, and

:27:29. > :27:33.similarly, our people who have left Muslim countries, for them to think

:27:34. > :27:36.that they can re-establish those countries and the lives they had

:27:37. > :27:42.there over here, that is not going to happen, and director Guy is the

:27:43. > :27:48.fact that is a big loss for both people. -- and I recognise the fact.

:27:49. > :27:51.But the reality is that we have to move forward, the reality is that we

:27:52. > :27:55.are going to have to find out what it means to be British moving

:27:56. > :28:00.forward, what does it mean to build a society that includes all of us,

:28:01. > :28:16.where it means looking like me and looking like you?

:28:17. > :28:22.If you have got experience of Islamophobia online or offline, let

:28:23. > :28:26.me know. We will talk about it more after ten o'clock this morning, and

:28:27. > :28:36.if you want to share the film, please go to the programme page on

:29:28. > :29:30.an improvement on the bronze they won at London 2012. Usain Bolt ran

:29:31. > :29:36.his fastest time of the season to cruise into the 200 metres final,

:29:37. > :29:40.aiming to complete the triple triple, the 100 metres, the 200

:29:41. > :29:44.metres and the 4x100 metres after doing so at both Beijing and the

:29:45. > :29:50.London games. Adam Gemili also qualified for the final with the

:29:51. > :29:53.fastest loser's spot. And Alistair Brownlee and his younger brother

:29:54. > :29:59.Johnny will be two of the favourites in the triathlon later today, they

:35:09. > :35:13.was a 'bromance'. One of the more unusual

:36:28. > :36:33.but as you can see you After the 2012 Olympics

:36:34. > :36:39.there was a victory parade on London Mayor Sadiq Khan to hold

:36:40. > :36:53.a similar event this year. There's got to be a parade, has a

:36:54. > :36:57.Mac? However Kiera asks for a parade

:36:58. > :36:59.all round the country, because everyone is so impressed

:37:00. > :37:08.with the team. You've been letting me know what you

:37:09. > :37:15.think about that. Let's have a look at these. Stuart says an Olympic

:37:16. > :37:21.parade is a great way to celebrate Team GB's Rio 2016 success.

:37:22. > :37:25.Brilliant idea, but not in London, it should be for the whole country.

:37:26. > :37:29.This one says we should hold a parade, we should be proud of their

:37:30. > :37:35.achievement, and it would inspire people to take up sport. Wayne says,

:37:36. > :37:42.great idea for a win is parade, let's celebrate their success. And

:37:43. > :37:43.so it goes on. Quite a lot of you. One or two saying, no, it's too much

:37:44. > :37:54.money. Let's go to Leeds, where the brown

:37:55. > :37:59.the brothers trained, they start today. We will speak to Tish

:38:00. > :38:03.triathlete Mark Buckingham and Jenny Vincent who has recently become

:38:04. > :38:08.involved in the sport. Jenny, what do you reckon to the idea of a

:38:09. > :38:12.parade, where should it be, and should we wait until after the

:38:13. > :38:18.Paralympics is over? I think it's a great idea and it should be in the

:38:19. > :38:21.place that most accessible. It would be fantastic and it would be great

:38:22. > :38:27.if we could include the Paralympics as well. So you mean mini parades in

:38:28. > :38:32.different cities? Yeah, definitely. It would be good for them to tour

:38:33. > :38:37.the country and local athletes could get involved in their local area,

:38:38. > :38:43.come and inspire local people. Mark? I totally agree. We want the

:38:44. > :38:48.athletes back in their home towns so everyone from their city can come

:38:49. > :38:53.and celebrate them. Here in Leeds they will be watching the Brownlees

:38:54. > :38:56.at millennium Square today. To have them back in millennium Square in a

:38:57. > :39:03.week's time or so would be fantastic. Yeah, that's a great

:39:04. > :39:06.idea, having the athletes relevant to their particular area. I mean,

:39:07. > :39:11.we're just showing pictures of the parade last time. It's just, it made

:39:12. > :39:19.you feel really good again, didn't it? That's the beauty of it, kind of

:39:20. > :39:23.extending the Olympic spirit, isn't it, I suppose. I think it kind of

:39:24. > :39:27.get everybody really excited again so they can see their heroes and it

:39:28. > :39:34.kind of makes you want to take that next step into sport. Mark, tell us

:39:35. > :39:39.what you are hoping for the Brownlee brothers? Well, they got gold and

:39:40. > :39:44.bronze four years ago in London, I'd like to see them go one better and

:39:45. > :39:49.get gold and silver. Doesn't matter which way round they finish but

:39:50. > :39:55.yeah, it would be great to see that. The world champion, Javier Gomez, he

:39:56. > :39:59.will not be there, after breaking his elbow. He split them in London

:40:00. > :40:06.four years ago. Maybe it's time to see a Brownlee 1-2. Jenny, can they

:40:07. > :40:12.do it? 100% I think they can do it and I can't wait to see them later.

:40:13. > :40:16.Is it true, Jenny, that you were inspired to take up the triathlon

:40:17. > :40:25.because of those two young men? Definitely. The Brownlees introduced

:40:26. > :40:31.triathlon to me as a sport, and off the back of that I got involved. I

:40:32. > :40:43.did a couple of those. So yeah, definitely due to watching them. OK.

:40:44. > :40:48.Mark, in terms of your own progress in the triathlon, tell our audience

:40:49. > :40:51.a little bit about yourself? Yeah, so I've been on the British to

:40:52. > :40:57.triathlon squad for about a year now. Unfortunately this year I am

:40:58. > :41:01.injured. I kind of made a pact with the guys that I would be the guy who

:41:02. > :41:06.is injured this year so unfortunately I couldn't be out in

:41:07. > :41:09.Rio with them. To echo what Jane said, triathlon is one of the

:41:10. > :41:15.fastest growing sports in the country and so easy to get into,

:41:16. > :41:20.now. I only started at sort of the age of 25. So I came into it really

:41:21. > :41:23.late and soon got into it and managed to get to the point where

:41:24. > :41:28.I'm representing my country so it's a brilliant sport to get involved

:41:29. > :41:33.in. And is it easy to get into because everyone, pretty much, can

:41:34. > :41:38.run, cycle and swim? Yeah, definitely. The access to facilities

:41:39. > :41:43.is good as well. Every town has got its own pool, and you can get your

:41:44. > :41:47.hands on any old bike to do the writing, and you can run straight

:41:48. > :41:51.from your doorstep. Obviously I am injured at the moment but the good

:41:52. > :41:55.thing about triathlon is I can still swim and bike, so I can still train

:41:56. > :42:02.the other two disciplines. That's the real unity of it, it's so

:42:03. > :42:07.varied. Thank you both. And of course you can watch the Brownlee

:42:08. > :42:11.brothers progress on BBC One, BBC Two, listen to commentary on 5 live

:42:12. > :42:13.and there's the BBC sport website as well.

:42:14. > :42:15.Thousands of students in England, Wales and Northern Ireland are

:42:16. > :42:22.Official figures show the gap between the top performing boys and

:42:23. > :42:29.girls has narrowed for the first time in five years. The total

:42:30. > :42:30.proportion of A* grades has also dropped.

:42:31. > :42:32.Let's speak to our education correspondent Gillian Hargreaves

:42:33. > :42:34.who is at a college in Stoke-on-Trent.

:42:35. > :42:42.How have they done? It's pretty busy here because they've got to get

:42:43. > :42:46.through something like 500 sets of A-level and BTEC results this

:42:47. > :42:51.morning. As you say, the headlight figures are a record number of

:42:52. > :42:56.people entering university this autumn, by my reckoning that's

:42:57. > :43:01.something like 500,000 people, more than half a million people will be

:43:02. > :43:05.going to university this autumn. The headline figures, the gender gap at

:43:06. > :43:09.the top between boys and girls is closing slightly. At the bottom it's

:43:10. > :43:14.still quite wide which is one reason we've come to Stoke-on-Trent,

:43:15. > :43:17.because Stoke-on-Trent is a classic case of a poor, white working-class

:43:18. > :43:23.city where boys have not traditionally done well. However, I

:43:24. > :43:33.have a boy here, Jordan, who is bucking the trend, tell us what your

:43:34. > :43:37.results are this morning? I got two A*s and two As. So that is good

:43:38. > :43:42.enough for you, to go where? Cambridge, to do economic. You must

:43:43. > :43:46.be thrilled? I'm over the moon, really. I hadn't thought it was

:43:54. > :43:57.done? -- you've had chanced. As far as I know everyone has done well.

:43:58. > :44:05.Critically, what has your mother said? Yeah, I text her, she's over

:44:06. > :44:10.the moon, too. Do you realise this is a Game Changers for you? This

:44:11. > :44:13.will change your life. You are not just going to university, you are

:44:14. > :44:20.going to one of the top five universities in the world. Well, no.

:44:21. > :44:25.It hasn't really sunk in yet. I've just kind of got in, I assume it

:44:26. > :44:30.will sink in soon. One other very satisfied student this morning is

:44:31. > :44:37.Samantha Harding. Tell us what you got and where you are going to go? I

:44:38. > :44:42.got a distinction star in my BTEC dance, distinction star in BTEC

:44:43. > :44:48.Theatre, a A-level history and a English literature and I'm going to

:44:49. > :44:53.hurt college in London to study professional dance. And what will

:44:54. > :44:59.that lead to you in terms of career and where do you think you might end

:45:00. > :45:05.up? I'm hopefully going to be on the West End, that's my goal. What do

:45:06. > :45:10.your family say? My mum was almost crying, so they are very pleased for

:45:11. > :45:15.me, they know how hard I've worked. Are many of your family in

:45:16. > :45:18.University? My sister went to university to do primary school

:45:19. > :45:24.teaching, she is fully qualified now. I'm the second in my family.

:45:25. > :45:30.Mum and dad didn't go? Knows. And classic play that is the challenge

:45:31. > :45:34.for communities like this. They have to spot talent at 18 and nurture

:45:35. > :45:39.people and really make them believe that they can go one and do these

:45:40. > :45:42.things so that they can go on to university, and in the case of

:45:43. > :45:46.Jordan and one or two other students, go to some very

:45:47. > :45:47.prestigious universities and realise their potential, because that's what

:45:48. > :45:52.this is all about. And TV presenter Jeremy Clarkson has

:45:53. > :45:55.offered his condolences to those who didn't do as well as they'd

:45:56. > :46:08.hoped in a message on Twitter. I am not sure that will consult you

:46:09. > :46:13.if you did not get what you wanted, but you do have to put things in

:46:14. > :46:22.perspective, that is my humble advice. Will forcing local consuls,

:46:23. > :46:23.councils to provide emergency accommodation help tackle

:46:24. > :46:26.homelessness? The Government's childhood

:46:27. > :46:28.obesity plan has finally been published and has

:46:29. > :46:31.attracted widespread criticism. Here's what is in the plan,

:46:32. > :46:34.and here's what isn't. A new sugar tax on soft drinks

:46:35. > :46:36.is in, The plan encourages children to do

:46:37. > :46:46.an hour's exercise a day. to cut sugar in food and drink

:46:47. > :46:51.by 20% over the next four years. There are no restrictions

:46:52. > :46:57.on TV advertising of unhealthy foods

:46:58. > :47:01.before the 9pm watershed. There is no ban

:47:02. > :47:03.on multi-buy promotions, such as buy one, get one free,

:47:04. > :47:13.in supermarkets. Critics say, with a third

:47:14. > :47:15.of children overweight, this is a missed opportunity

:47:16. > :47:17.to force food and drink companies to reduce

:47:18. > :47:19.sugar in their products. It's reported that

:47:20. > :47:21.the Prime Minister, Theresa May, decided not to burden the industry

:47:22. > :47:24.at a time of economic uncertainty. Here to react, Ian Twinn

:47:25. > :47:26.from the advertising body ISBA - he's pleased the Government

:47:27. > :47:30.hasn't caved to health lobbyists. Jenny Rosborough is a registered

:47:31. > :47:33.nutritionist and campaign manager with Action on Sugar and feels

:47:34. > :47:40.disappointed with the strategy, as does Malcolm Clark,

:47:41. > :47:41.the coordinator And parents Julie Creffied

:47:42. > :47:44.a mum-of-one, and Emily Leary, who has two

:47:45. > :47:58.children aged four and eight. Welcome, let's start with the

:47:59. > :48:02.parents, what do you think, Julie? I think it is really difficult, as a

:48:03. > :48:07.parent, too, you know, have all of this shame placed on you when it

:48:08. > :48:10.comes to what your children are eating, but ultimately you are

:48:11. > :48:15.responsible when they are at that small age. But I think what is

:48:16. > :48:18.really interesting is, I read a company that is all about sport and

:48:19. > :48:22.women, and I think if we empower women to kind of make better choices

:48:23. > :48:27.for themselves, their children will follow. Do you think the Government

:48:28. > :48:33.should have done more? Do you think they should have bought food and

:48:34. > :48:37.strength firms to change? About it doesn't say a lot at all, there is a

:48:38. > :48:42.lot of talk about sugar, but sugar isn't the only issue, too many

:48:43. > :48:47.calories is really the issue. When I read the report that went out, there

:48:48. > :48:51.was a footnote about education, and I would like to see more about

:48:52. > :48:56.educating parents and educating children so that they understand

:48:57. > :49:00.what a healthy diet looks like. Martin Clarke, what do you think? I

:49:01. > :49:09.think children and taxpayers should be disappointed and feel let down at

:49:10. > :49:12.this plan. All we have got is dirty pages of recycled commitments and

:49:13. > :49:21.the same failed voluntary approaches. -- 30 pages. It is not

:49:22. > :49:24.good enough at all, the absence on marketing and promotions, it was in

:49:25. > :49:29.there even innately to draft one month ago. What has caused that to

:49:30. > :49:35.go? Why is the advertising industry so scared of even a public

:49:36. > :49:43.consultation on further restrictions on marketing and advertising, which

:49:44. > :49:47.was in the original document? Ian Twinn, from the ISBA, you must be

:49:48. > :49:51.delighted. I think it is the right approach, I think it is a great

:49:52. > :49:55.opportunity for business, campaigners and governors to work

:49:56. > :49:59.together. The idea of getting parents and children to understand

:50:00. > :50:02.what a healthy lifestyle is is much more important than naming and

:50:03. > :50:08.shaming people for the food they eat. We can go a long way now in

:50:09. > :50:12.working with government, we can use the power of advertising to

:50:13. > :50:15.reinforce very positive messages about getting people to understand

:50:16. > :50:20.that they are eating too much and not exercising. But there is no

:50:21. > :50:25.incentive in this plan for people who make food and drink, people who

:50:26. > :50:31.advertise these products, to reduce the sugar content? Well, I think

:50:32. > :50:36.there is. Which bit? Businesses will realise that if we do not see

:50:37. > :50:39.results over the next five years on obesity, the Government will

:50:40. > :50:43.probably have to say, then, there will have to be legislation and

:50:44. > :50:47.regulation. But in the meantime, it is not right to say that we are not

:50:48. > :50:50.consulting, we are doing exactly that, we have been doing it for the

:50:51. > :50:59.last few months. There will be tough new rules on HFS food advertising,

:51:00. > :51:03.foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt. There is a nutritional

:51:04. > :51:08.profiling test that already applies to television. So what things will

:51:09. > :51:15.be coming in? They will not be able to directly advertise to children in

:51:16. > :51:22.print, in the media, and online is cover. TV is already covered. And

:51:23. > :51:25.who is defining advertising to children? Unfortunately, we had a

:51:26. > :51:32.perfect opportunity year plans for the Government to say this is what

:51:33. > :51:36.this means, this is how the industry should define these things.

:51:37. > :51:40.Unfortunately, it is left to the advertising industry and the food

:51:41. > :51:43.and Trent industry to set the terms of their own rules, they regulate

:51:44. > :51:49.their own rules, and unfortunately we know from the experience of huge

:51:50. > :51:54.amounts of marketing, children are bombarded with four less healthy

:51:55. > :52:04.food and think, that this does not work. The industry says, we will do

:52:05. > :52:07.something. You know, public health has defined, you know, the

:52:08. > :52:11.government's own public health advisers have said, this is what is

:52:12. > :52:17.needed, there are other proper recommendations, both on the 9pm

:52:18. > :52:22.watershed, TV adverts, a whole series of things, loopholes that are

:52:23. > :52:26.not covered in the current rules. The answer to the question is the

:52:27. > :52:31.Government defined what advertising to children is, it was done by

:52:32. > :52:34.Ofcom, it was done when television advertising was brought in, and the

:52:35. > :52:38.same will apply to things which look like television but are on the

:52:39. > :52:47.internet, the same will apply to other forms of advertising. That is

:52:48. > :52:52.not right, it is misleading. Jenny, you are a nutritionist, what is your

:52:53. > :52:56.view? A really sad day for public health, they should have prioritised

:52:57. > :53:01.public-health over anything else, it is inexcusable. To give industry

:53:02. > :53:04.another five years' chance to make voluntary changes is a complete

:53:05. > :53:08.shambles. They have had the opportunity before, we have seen

:53:09. > :53:12.some change, but not enough to tackle obesity. What has happened is

:53:13. > :53:18.someone in the new government has lent on the delete button of the

:53:19. > :53:22.draft plan, which I have seen... The Prime Minister? Perhaps, she should

:53:23. > :53:27.be taking control of it. She said she wanted to tackle health

:53:28. > :53:31.inequalities, and this plan has had removed most of the evidence based

:53:32. > :53:38.policy is that need to be implemented. Emily, as part of this

:53:39. > :53:43.plan, we could all do this anyway, and encouragement that our children

:53:44. > :53:49.should do an hour's exercise a day, it is obviously a good idea, but we

:53:50. > :53:53.sort of know that, don't we? Yeah, and again I think it is about

:53:54. > :53:57.investment, because obviously we talk a lot about how children are

:53:58. > :54:01.not able to play in the streets, like they used to. Communities need

:54:02. > :54:06.good recreational spaces where children have the opportunity to

:54:07. > :54:08.exercise safely, as well as the organised exercise that they do at

:54:09. > :54:13.school. I would like to visit, rather than the footnote about that

:54:14. > :54:17.hour of exercise, I would like to see that turned on its head so it is

:54:18. > :54:20.much more about giving children the opportunity to be healthy and the

:54:21. > :54:26.opportunity to run around, as children love to do. I just want to

:54:27. > :54:31.bring in Julie, in terms of advertising, particularly on

:54:32. > :54:34.television, you have a three and a half -year-old, how much of an issue

:54:35. > :54:39.is it for you? I don't think it is an issue at all, because the biggest

:54:40. > :54:42.role model to children and their parents, and particularly the female

:54:43. > :54:47.in the home, and I think if children are seeing their parents eating well

:54:48. > :54:51.and exercising as part of a balanced lifestyle, they are more inclined to

:54:52. > :54:57.follow that than something on the television. That is a good point,

:54:58. > :55:03.isn't it? At the moment, the current rules are about what can be

:55:04. > :55:08.advertised on TV to children. This numerical criteria, they are saying

:55:09. > :55:13.it is really hard to understand. But the point is that your kids will

:55:14. > :55:20.learn more from parents. They have is what is on telly, don't get me

:55:21. > :55:23.wrong, they mimic loads of adverts. Absolutely, but this is about the

:55:24. > :55:28.power and control of parents, rather than not. So for instance we all

:55:29. > :55:32.understand what a 9pm watershed is and the means. At the moment we

:55:33. > :55:36.don't understand what adverts might be seen by children watching

:55:37. > :55:41.Britain's Got Talent or X Factor, well, we do, high sugar, high fat

:55:42. > :55:45.food and drink. But at the same time, I say that what we are wanting

:55:46. > :55:52.to see in this strategy was how the Government could give a helping hand

:55:53. > :55:58.to parents. I do agree... I think we are missing a huge point of this

:55:59. > :56:05.discussion, why are people over eating sugary goods? We are not

:56:06. > :56:16.talking about the reasons we self-medicating but you don't do

:56:17. > :56:23.that with kids. They learn about food being used as treats, and I

:56:24. > :56:28.spoke to the producer, and it was somebody's anniversary, and they had

:56:29. > :56:35.come back with a big bag of sweets. We are having this conversation.

:56:36. > :56:39.Let's be fair to parents, it is their responsibility to be healthy

:56:40. > :56:42.role models, and that is difficult when there is this kind of situation

:56:43. > :56:46.going on, lots of food and drink being heavily marketed, because

:56:47. > :56:50.manufacturers know that it will increase their choice. It is really

:56:51. > :56:57.disappointing that the health minister, our new health minister

:56:58. > :57:02.has said in response to this... Jane Ellison, sorry, she is the former

:57:03. > :57:06.health minister. She has said, in response to this, about inspiring

:57:07. > :57:10.new GBA Libyans, and I think that cannot be further removed from what

:57:11. > :57:19.we are trying to do in tackling childhood obesity. -- new GB

:57:20. > :57:24.Olympians. Should we hold a parade for Team GB when they return from

:57:25. > :57:27.Rio? There is no plan, despite it being our most accessible way Games

:57:28. > :57:35.ever. Time for the latest weather with John.

:57:36. > :57:41.It has been very dry across the UK, good news for holiday-makers but not

:57:42. > :57:46.gardeners, and it is all about to change. This could be seen tomorrow

:57:47. > :57:50.near you, and the culprit is this area of low pressure developing in

:57:51. > :57:54.the Atlantic with our name on it. Ahead of that, one more fine day,

:57:55. > :58:00.dampness bursting across parts of southern England, still the odd

:58:01. > :58:05.shower possible, but most places having a lovely day. This is

:58:06. > :58:15.mid-afternoon, always cooler across Scotland, and onshore breeze, but a

:58:16. > :58:19.fine and pleasantly warm day in the south. I mention the risk of a

:58:20. > :58:23.shower in the south, but pretty isolated, the vast majority of us

:58:24. > :58:29.will stay entirely dry with a fine evening in prospect. Not so across

:58:30. > :58:34.south-western parts of England and Wales, here comes the rain as we

:58:35. > :58:38.head into the early hours, heavy rain too, increasingly gusty winds.

:58:39. > :58:43.Temperatures in some rural spots, across the Glens of Scotland, down

:58:44. > :58:49.to single figures, but no real problems temperatures wise. Get out

:58:50. > :58:53.and enjoy the weather while it can, the rain will be in the south-west,

:58:54. > :58:57.pushing northwards and eastwards, a few hours of rain in most places, a

:58:58. > :59:01.gusty wind. Last to arrive across the far north, by which time it will

:59:02. > :59:04.be brightening up across south-western parts. Temperatures

:59:05. > :59:08.not too bad in the brightness, but for most of us cooler than it has

:59:09. > :59:12.been for some time. This area of low pressure is going to spin its way

:59:13. > :59:16.across northern part of the UK, and it is on the southern flank during

:59:17. > :59:25.Saturday that we will see runs of heavy showers, but very strong

:59:26. > :59:29.winds, big waves battering the coast. Inland, where there are

:59:30. > :59:38.events taking place, B1, these gusts of up to 50 mph could well cause

:59:39. > :59:41.some destruction. -- be warned. Slow-moving heavy downpours across

:59:42. > :59:46.northern parts of the UK, all in all, not that clever on Saturday, I

:59:47. > :59:50.am sure you will agree. That low pressure will idle out into the

:59:51. > :59:53.North Sea, that means lighter winds and fewer showers on Sunday, but

:59:54. > :59:58.still a few knocking about on the breeze. In the sunshine, not too

:59:59. > :00:01.bad, but temperatures certainly a lot lower than in recent days,

:00:02. > :00:09.typically high teens to low 20s. Hello it's Thursday,

:04:41. > :04:42.No medal either for Dina Asher-Smith in the 200 metres final,

:04:43. > :04:44.but fifth fastest in the world is not bad

:05:27. > :05:29.Not enough breeze for the women's 470 medal race, which Saskia Clark

:05:30. > :05:32.and Hannah Mills just needed to finish to win gold.

:06:23. > :06:24.She is already guaranteed at least Bronze.

:06:25. > :06:26.So the medal table is as it was yesterday,

:06:33. > :06:35.They sit second with 19 gold, 19 silver, 12 bronze -

:07:48. > :07:52.Jane Ellison, said it was important to tackle the problem at source.

:07:53. > :07:57.One of the reasons it's so important to tackle the formulation of food

:07:58. > :08:01.at source is because then as that flows through into promotions

:08:02. > :08:06.we will start to see more healthy food featured in those promotions.

:10:44. > :10:47.for the amazing work they've done, let them know we appreciate all that

:10:48. > :10:53.hard work that it took to get them to Rio. Yes, let's have a parade,

:10:54. > :10:59.says Mary. David says, yes, let's have a parade to honour Team GB, it

:11:00. > :11:04.would be a marvellous idea. Doug says a show of parade is not in the

:11:05. > :11:08.spirit of the Olympics, it's not the winning, it is how you play the

:11:09. > :11:12.game. Other countries may be miffed that we are able to spend so much

:11:13. > :11:17.lottery money to create so many winners. Better to be modest.

:11:18. > :11:25.Stewart says, we are a fantastic nation, yes to a parade. Smith says

:11:26. > :11:30.a parade in local areas to spread the inspiration and hopefully it

:11:31. > :11:38.will help cut down on obesity as well. Thank you for those, keep them

:11:39. > :11:42.coming in. We will be speaking to Dame Tessa gel who was part of

:11:43. > :11:47.getting the games to come to London in 2012.

:11:48. > :11:49.7,000 Islamophobic tweets were sent in English every

:11:50. > :12:01.In April it was around 2500 per day. July saw the most abuse for five

:12:02. > :12:04.months as Europe was hit by a terror attack and the murder of a priest.

:12:05. > :12:07.The data, collected from tweets sent in English-speaking countries over

:12:08. > :12:40.This one says you are threatening our way of life.

:12:41. > :12:42.And you get more messages like this after

:12:43. > :12:46.Always, it does not matter what I say or what I am

:12:47. > :12:49.writing about, the response after a terrorist attack will always be

:12:50. > :12:51.slating Islam in some kind of way or insulting

:12:52. > :12:52.Islam or insulting me or

:12:53. > :12:54.my hijab, even if I am talking about something

:12:55. > :12:55.completely unrelated, even

:12:56. > :12:57.if I am sending condolences to the victims.

:12:58. > :12:59.The Demos research shows large peaks in Islamophobic tweet

:13:00. > :13:11.We've seen 5000 and team Lynn tweets, and it has been building

:13:12. > :13:15.month on month. July was the worst. A man behind us start interrupting.

:13:16. > :13:19.I ask him if he can keep his voice down. He replies saying it's free

:13:20. > :13:24.speech, and then he adds there is no sharia law here. It's freedom of

:13:25. > :13:28.expression but you've chosen to sit here right now, so if you've got

:13:29. > :13:32.something to say than you can say it. Do you want to talk about sharia

:13:33. > :13:38.law to me? We can talk about sharia law. You obviously said it for a

:13:39. > :13:42.reason. We are told to be politically correct when we don't

:13:43. > :13:49.want to be. The research shows large peaks in Islamophobic tweets around

:13:50. > :13:59.terror attacks. In the immediate wake of news it was 20,000. In July

:14:00. > :14:05.it was significant. Each of these dots is an anti-Ms limp tweet.

:14:06. > :14:12.Massive red mass. That's right, all happening in the immediate

:14:13. > :14:15.aftermath. This film-maker has been sent Islamophobic abuse on Twitter

:14:16. > :14:17.but says the feelings being expressed on my need to be listened

:14:18. > :14:27.to. I don't like Islamophobics, I don't

:14:28. > :14:32.like lots of people, but shutting them down will not stop this. The

:14:33. > :14:37.feelings do not disappear. The reality is together we need to find

:14:38. > :14:40.out what does it mean to be British moving forward, what does it mean to

:14:41. > :14:46.build a society that includes all of us when it means looking like me and

:14:47. > :14:50.looking like you. Lets talk to Carl Miller from the think tank Demos who

:14:51. > :14:54.carried out the research. Ruqaiya Haris who is a student

:14:55. > :15:04.and writer and Ajmal Masroor How do you identify Islamophobic

:15:05. > :15:11.tweets? This is social media research and we have to cope with

:15:12. > :15:14.enormous body is of tweets. So we use artificial intelligence to make

:15:15. > :15:18.a distinction between those using slur terms in ways that are not

:15:19. > :15:22.derogatory and those that are. That cuts down 34 million tweets into the

:15:23. > :15:26.numbers we saw on your report just now. What do you think of the data

:15:27. > :15:30.you collected in terms of the month of July? I think it shows that

:15:31. > :15:35.underneath the amazingly brilliant things we are used to seeing on

:15:36. > :15:40.Twitter and other social media platforms there is quite problematic

:15:41. > :15:43.and worrying underlayer of hate and Islamophobic hate. And this is

:15:44. > :15:49.something we as a society have to confront in of different ways. Is it

:15:50. > :15:53.a worldwide problem? It is, it is not just coming from the UK. The

:15:54. > :15:54.numbers are for the English language but it is happening in in other

:15:55. > :16:04.languages as well. This twice to three, we saw a little

:16:05. > :16:11.bit of what you have to undergo quite regularly in your life. --

:16:12. > :16:16.Ruqaiya. Tell us what it is like? It is weird, I wouldn't say it happens

:16:17. > :16:20.every day, very often, but online it has become something that is quite

:16:21. > :16:25.normal to me, to receive that kind of abuse, and it is weird. I feel on

:16:26. > :16:28.the one hand quite hard and do it, because it is so normal, and it is

:16:29. > :16:32.something that I have grown up hearing, but at the same time it

:16:33. > :16:37.never stops being something that plays on your mind, angering and

:16:38. > :16:42.irritating you. Does it weigh you down? It can do, but I have learned

:16:43. > :16:46.to kind of accent that it is going to happen, there is nothing I can do

:16:47. > :16:51.about that. -- acceptable the moment people see a woman wearing hijab,

:16:52. > :16:58.there is going to be some kind of reaction. What do you think of this

:16:59. > :17:04.conflation in some people's minds of Islamist terrorists and ordinary

:17:05. > :17:09.Muslim people going about their lives in Britain? I mean, I think it

:17:10. > :17:13.is, you know, it is a shame that people conflate the two, and I think

:17:14. > :17:17.it is really a situation where people do not engage that much with

:17:18. > :17:23.Muslims and their community. Apps Muslims do not engage with them, but

:17:24. > :17:26.I think the problem comes from the fact that they cannot differentiate

:17:27. > :17:28.between the terrorists they see on television that actually have

:17:29. > :17:32.nothing to do with ordinary Muslim people, but it is just about how

:17:33. > :17:39.they are going to engage and overcome those prejudices. As an

:17:40. > :17:44.imam, I wonder if you hear people saying a lot, you should be

:17:45. > :17:50.condemning attacks from IS and other terrorists. I have been condemning

:17:51. > :17:53.them, and people continue to associate and connect Islam with

:17:54. > :17:59.terrorism, you have just done it by calling it Islamists terrorism. Why

:18:00. > :18:04.give it about accolade? How would you describe them? Terrorists,

:18:05. > :18:09.criminals, do not give them the honour of Islam. Islam is a religion

:18:10. > :18:13.followed by 1.8 billion, none of them support these idiots, so we

:18:14. > :18:18.need to make that differentiation. I am very sad to hear of Ruqaiya's

:18:19. > :18:26.experience, that she feels it is normal, when our children, our

:18:27. > :18:30.generation, we think that prejudice and discrimination is normal. We are

:18:31. > :18:36.heading for a big disaster. Finally, I believe it has become... A big

:18:37. > :18:40.disaster, what do you mean? I am just about to say. In our pub

:18:41. > :18:44.banter, in our conversations in social settings, it has become sexy

:18:45. > :18:49.and fashionable to deride the Muslim, talk against Islam. That is

:18:50. > :18:53.the disaster we are talking about, our children feeling pier. My nephew

:18:54. > :19:00.said, I don't want to be a Muslim anymore. When our prejudice cascades

:19:01. > :19:02.down to school playgrounds, we have failed, failed miserably, and that

:19:03. > :19:09.is what we need to challenge. I get it every day, between after

:19:10. > :19:13.appearing on television, the media pundits, media personalities who

:19:14. > :19:18.speak freely and candidly without any shame, calling us all sorts of

:19:19. > :19:21.names, making Islamophobic and derogatory remarks, there is no

:19:22. > :19:31.accountability, and this is very bad for all of us. I'm glad Demos has

:19:32. > :19:35.done this research to show us the elephant in the room. In previous

:19:36. > :19:39.generations, when this happened, what we saw in Europe was bloodbath,

:19:40. > :19:42.and we don't want to see that ever again, not in our lifetime or the

:19:43. > :19:50.lifetimes of our children or anyone in the future. It is very

:19:51. > :19:54.frightening. Yes. Is there and element of the EU referendum vote,

:19:55. > :20:00.to you think, we should talk about in relation to the data or not? Yes,

:20:01. > :20:04.there is. The first large spike we actually saw was in the immediate

:20:05. > :20:09.wake of Brexit, and that, in a sense, I think, began to legitimise

:20:10. > :20:12.these certain views up to that moment, although some people felt

:20:13. > :20:16.they could not talk about it. We began to realise that a lot of the

:20:17. > :20:20.view is that we thought were being confronted and indeed defeated were

:20:21. > :20:24.actually being played out in the public space, and in a sense the

:20:25. > :20:29.Brexit vote, like in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks, opens up

:20:30. > :20:32.that public space for views to the air. Islamophobia online is

:20:33. > :20:37.incredibly ever and specific, it is not constant. It really explodes

:20:38. > :20:41.after terrorist attacks when people are angry and scared. Of course,

:20:42. > :20:45.really worrying and really problematic is that we can see this

:20:46. > :20:49.in the Twitter response to this very programme, there is no distinction

:20:50. > :20:56.in some people's minds between legitimate criticism of Islam and

:20:57. > :20:58.Islamophobia. They regard the criticism of Islamophobia to be the

:20:59. > :21:05.shutting down of any legitimate criticism of Islam. The only thing

:21:06. > :21:12.this plays into the narrative which IS wish British Muslims to hear.

:21:13. > :21:16.None of this mixed terrorist attacks less likely to happen, it only plays

:21:17. > :21:20.into that narrative, and that is what was worrying in the wake of the

:21:21. > :21:27.attacks. So we have hate crime legislation, is it enough? We don't

:21:28. > :21:34.have it. It is not enough, we have two more robust legislation... What

:21:35. > :21:38.can be more robust? Let me give you a three step solution, we need to

:21:39. > :21:42.start from schools, we need to educate our children that racism is

:21:43. > :21:48.not right, we taught that. I was taught that when I was younger.

:21:49. > :21:52.Sorry, I'm just going to pause and each point, please join in this

:21:53. > :21:56.conversation, even if there was a period in the curriculum where a

:21:57. > :22:00.teacher has that kind of conversation, actually, if you are a

:22:01. > :22:04.racist child it is because you have got racist parents. It almost

:22:05. > :22:09.doesn't matter what the teacher says. The generation will change.

:22:10. > :22:13.When I was younger, I had bottles broken in my face because I was

:22:14. > :22:18.black or brown by white supremacist BNP thugs. It doesn't happen any

:22:19. > :22:23.more on the basis of race. We change that by fighting back and educating

:22:24. > :22:28.our children. On the education point, I don't know what you think,

:22:29. > :22:34.but the really important thing, at least online, is education around

:22:35. > :22:38.digital citizenship. That is right, yeah. Online, we do lack the basic

:22:39. > :22:49.norms to actually treat one another assembly. The etiquette is missing.

:22:50. > :22:54.-- civilly. People think they can do what they like online, it is not

:22:55. > :22:57.acceptable is the one point you made earlier about criticism of Islam, it

:22:58. > :23:03.is absolutely open, even God says you can criticise the Koran. You can

:23:04. > :23:08.be critical but you do not have to ridicule people for that. That needs

:23:09. > :23:12.to be said loudly and clearly. The last point is about the politicians.

:23:13. > :23:16.Many politicians panda to the right wing in order to get their

:23:17. > :23:21.popularity up, shame on them! They need to stand their ground and Satan

:23:22. > :23:26.no Islamophobia will be tolerated, even if we lose votes. We need to

:23:27. > :23:31.challenge the thuggery, challenge the education, and a lack of it, and

:23:32. > :23:39.media and politicians need to be responsible for it. I think the

:23:40. > :23:42.biggest issue was how socially respectable it is. It is not

:23:43. > :23:50.something that can be changed with legislation, it needs to make

:23:51. > :23:53.Islamophobes feel marginalised. The real issue is how socially

:23:54. > :23:58.unacceptable it is, and it is the fact that these politicians are

:23:59. > :24:01.coming out, they are insinuating very Islamophobic things, they are

:24:02. > :24:10.stereotyping us, making sweeping generalisations. So it is these

:24:11. > :24:15.problems that are... It is asking people to take care. Take care, be

:24:16. > :24:21.accountable. Be specific. It is a challenge for the BBC and other

:24:22. > :24:24.channels, stop using the word Islamic before describing a

:24:25. > :24:28.terrorist, call in a criminal, call them other names. If you can do

:24:29. > :24:32.that, we will win the fight together. It becomes a subliminal

:24:33. > :24:36.message in the minds of people, the moment Islam is mentioned, they

:24:37. > :24:40.think about terrorism. I have learnt this from playgrounds in schools, I

:24:41. > :24:43.have asked kids, what do you think about when you think about Islam?

:24:44. > :24:49.The first thing they say is terrorism. When that were

:24:50. > :24:57.accidentally wrote a terraced house, we call that subliminal messaging

:24:58. > :25:01.that is embedded in his head. -- terrorist house. Terrorism has no

:25:02. > :25:06.religion, and extremism has no religion. We need to call them

:25:07. > :25:12.extremist terrorist and do not give them the description of Islam. OK.

:25:13. > :25:16.Right, Chris says, what a revealing interview in the park, which was

:25:17. > :25:23.interrupted by the face of modern Britain. How ignorant. Peter says,

:25:24. > :25:30.how can you reason with such bigots? That is a decent question, you know.

:25:31. > :25:34.Yeah. The view is set, they are entrenched, as you say, and when you

:25:35. > :25:39.talk about telling them it is not acceptable, they believe it is some

:25:40. > :25:42.kind of censorship. I do think it is important sometimes to engage with

:25:43. > :25:46.these people, but at the same time you have to pick your battles and

:25:47. > :25:51.expect every Muslim to go about your life, you know, every single day,

:25:52. > :25:55.and engage with Islamophobes is unfair. What person has to engage

:25:56. > :26:00.with bigots or racists on a daily basis, and is it really our duty to

:26:01. > :26:03.educate people? But at the same time, I think it is important in

:26:04. > :26:09.certain situations. It is important to say that there are 500 million

:26:10. > :26:13.tweets sent every day, so follow the numbers are worrying, they are very

:26:14. > :26:17.small. We have to come to terms with the fact that public life has

:26:18. > :26:21.changed. People can jump into public life with the use of a smartphone.

:26:22. > :26:26.We are rubbing up against that, this content is going to be at there, and

:26:27. > :26:29.there is nothing we can do about it. In the time it takes Twitter,

:26:30. > :26:35.Facebook or the police to remove content, to judge it, judge against

:26:36. > :26:41.policy and take it down, you can send ten tweets. Led me read some

:26:42. > :26:46.more comments from people who have a different point of view. Emily on

:26:47. > :26:50.Facebook, I think the man in the film was right, the man that was

:26:51. > :26:54.talking to you, that you had a conversation with, although he went

:26:55. > :26:57.about it in the wrong way. As a country, we are losing our rights to

:26:58. > :27:02.freedom of speech, but there is a way to go about it without being

:27:03. > :27:07.racist. People confuse being a respectful Muslim and being a

:27:08. > :27:10.terrorist. I bet you any money that person doesn't know what sharia

:27:11. > :27:14.means, has never done a single reading about Islam and is

:27:15. > :27:20.regurgitating what they have heard in the media. This tweet, you showed

:27:21. > :27:25.a clip of a man confronting a woman about sharia law, if you want to

:27:26. > :27:30.practice sharia law, do it in your own country, not here? I am sure

:27:31. > :27:34.that is something you hear a lot. It is, and I am talking about sharia

:27:35. > :27:38.law because this man started a discussion, I did not go up to him

:27:39. > :27:42.and say I would like to practice sharia law here. And what is your

:27:43. > :27:48.home country? Britain, I was born here. Established grooming gangs

:27:49. > :27:52.across the UK kill and heckle British soldiers, this tweet says,

:27:53. > :27:57.promoting anti-Semitism and homophobia then claim you are being

:27:58. > :28:01.persecuted. This from David, Muslim people make no effort to integrate,

:28:02. > :28:07.they choose to make themselves different. This is great Britain, we

:28:08. > :28:10.don't want to change. I find that incredible, the relationship that we

:28:11. > :28:15.all go out of our way to build is what counts, and we're not doing

:28:16. > :28:18.enough of that. Muslims and non-Muslims are not doing enough of

:28:19. > :28:22.that. Do not blame Muslims for the lack of integration, I can go to

:28:23. > :28:27.errors of the UK where you will not see anything but one monolithic

:28:28. > :28:32.community, and I believe in integration fully, I think Ruqaiya

:28:33. > :28:36.does, and I am sure all your guests, including Alex, sorry, Carl, I got

:28:37. > :28:41.your name wrong, believes it is, we all do. But how do we integrate? It

:28:42. > :28:45.is a two way processed by relationship, by trust, by

:28:46. > :28:49.interaction. I want to open my doors to my neighbours, openly mocked

:28:50. > :28:55.doors for people to come and see. That is the trust building we are

:28:56. > :28:58.missing at the moment. Honest conversation is missing, and that is

:28:59. > :28:59.how I believe integration will happen and we will defeat

:29:00. > :29:13.Islamophobia. Thank you very much. Coming up in the last half hour,

:29:14. > :29:16.will forcing local councils to provide emergency accommodation help

:29:17. > :29:19.reduce homelessness? It has certainly helped some homeless

:29:20. > :29:26.people, will it reduce the problem overall. We will hear from two

:29:27. > :29:30.people who have been homeless. Also, we will be looking at whether there

:29:31. > :29:31.should be a parade after the Olympics and the Paralympics to

:29:32. > :29:36.celebrate the success of Team GB. Now for the latest from

:29:37. > :29:38.the Olympics, here's Hugh Woozencroft at the BBC

:29:43. > :29:55.another Olympic medal after the women's hockey team

:29:56. > :29:57.reached their first final with a superb 3-0 win

:29:58. > :29:59.over New Zealand in Rio. Alex Danson's double

:30:00. > :30:01.and Helen Richardson-Walsh's penalty stroke mean GB

:30:02. > :30:03.will win at least silver, improving on their

:30:28. > :30:37.and his younger Brother Jonny will be two of the favourites

:30:38. > :30:40.in the Triathlon later today. They get off at around 3 o'clock

:30:41. > :30:43.but London 2012 silver medallist Javier Gomez

:30:44. > :30:51.is missing through injury. So, lots to look forward to later on

:30:52. > :30:52.today. Coverage across BBC TV and radio.

:30:53. > :30:54.That's all from me for now.

:30:55. > :30:57.Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

:30:58. > :31:01.Thousands of students are receiving their A-level results in England,

:31:02. > :31:05.The number of candidates receiving top grades has fallen

:31:06. > :31:08.for the fifth year in a row, while the gap between girls

:31:09. > :31:10.and boys receiving the top grades has narrowed

:31:11. > :31:12.to the smallest it has been for at least 10 years.

:31:13. > :31:15.The Government's long awaited plan to tackle childhood obesity has

:31:16. > :31:19.been heavily criticised as a "missed opportunity".

:31:20. > :31:20.Senior doctors, dentists and local government representatives

:31:21. > :31:22.say they are disappointed the measures, which are

:31:23. > :31:27.being published today, don't go far enough.

:31:28. > :31:32.The plan includes a tax on sugary drinks, but it misses

:31:33. > :31:35.out curbs on marketing and supermarket promotions.

:31:36. > :31:38.The minister who was previously in charge of drawing up

:31:39. > :31:40.the child obesity strategy, Jane Ellison, has dismissed

:31:41. > :31:46.One of the reasons it's so important to tackle the formulation of food

:31:47. > :31:50.at source is because then as that flows through into promotions

:31:51. > :31:52.we will start to see more healthy food featured in those promotions.

:31:53. > :31:56.But we also have to give credit to supermarkets for the work they've

:31:57. > :32:06.New research from the think tank Demos, exclusive to this programme,

:32:07. > :32:08.suggests that 7,000 Islamophobic tweets were sent in English every

:32:09. > :32:15.The data, collected from tweets sent in English-speaking countries over

:32:16. > :32:17.the last five months, also suggests Islamophobic tweets

:32:18. > :32:23.increase in the wake of terrorist attacks.

:32:24. > :32:26.Two American Olympic swimmers have been taken off their flight home

:32:27. > :32:28.by Brazilian police over their claim that they were victims

:32:29. > :32:34.Jack Conger and Gunnar Bentz were questioned by police in Rio.

:32:35. > :32:37.The pair, along with Ryan Lochte and another team member,

:32:38. > :32:46.say their taxi was attacked as they returned from a party.

:32:47. > :32:49.More than 80,000 people have been ordered to leave their homes,

:32:50. > :32:53.as eight large wildfires continue to rage in California.

:32:54. > :32:54.Thousands of firefighters are battling the blazes,

:32:55. > :32:57.but officials say one of the largest is still out of control.

:32:58. > :33:00.That's a summary of the latest news, join me for BBC Newsroom

:33:01. > :33:08.Let's talk about the sort of financial rewards that Olympic gold

:33:09. > :33:15.medallists might enjoy. Rewards can be quite considerable

:33:16. > :33:21.depending on which country you represent. The estimated bonus for a

:33:22. > :33:32.Singaporean gold medallist, for example, is over 700,000 US dollars.

:33:33. > :33:37.Aaron is here. Tell us about British winners and what they can expect?

:33:38. > :33:41.The British winners? We can start with that, nothing. The country

:33:42. > :33:46.doesn't give the British winners a single bonus. Right, OK. Other

:33:47. > :33:51.countries do and I did not realise that some of these guys, it comes

:33:52. > :33:54.from the government, give bonuses to their athletes. So you've got these

:33:55. > :33:59.athletes at the games not only striving for gold, silver or bronze

:34:00. > :34:03.but striving for a bonus. You mentioned the Singaporean $750,000,

:34:04. > :34:09.but I've put a little chart together just for you. One of my favourites

:34:10. > :34:19.is Malaysia. Malaysia gives a gold winner by Goldbach worth 600,000 US

:34:20. > :34:29.dollars. Italy, France, they are still working out $185,000 for gold.

:34:30. > :34:35.25,004 gold in the United States, 15,000 dollars for silver. Most of

:34:36. > :34:38.these countries where these athletes get these sorts of bonuses, they are

:34:39. > :34:45.tax-free, it's exempt. Not the United States. It's called a victory

:34:46. > :34:50.tax. Some of these athletes going back, Michael Phelps, with all his

:34:51. > :34:57.gold medals, they are going back to face hefty bills. For US athlete

:34:58. > :35:03.with a gold medal, probably worth around $10 million, the tax bill.

:35:04. > :35:09.Because in America they taxed the medals themselves. That seems very

:35:10. > :35:17.harsh. It doesn't. I understand the logic, I suppose, of taxing the

:35:18. > :35:24.bonus. Yes, 600 bucks they put down as the value of a gold medal, 400

:35:25. > :35:29.dollars for a silver, only about four bucks for a bronze. So how is

:35:30. > :35:37.this in the Olympic spirit? Can they spend it on what they want? Yes,

:35:38. > :35:43.it's a cash bonus. It depends. A gold medal still costs the UK

:35:44. > :35:49.Government, if you will, about $5 million. I contribute it costs the

:35:50. > :35:54.Australian government $16 million. How? All the training programmes.

:35:55. > :36:00.But anybody who has bought a lottery ticket? Here it is different, funded

:36:01. > :36:04.by the lottery. We did this only on our programme and we've had mixed

:36:05. > :36:08.tweets, people saying that's not in the name of sports. But the Olympics

:36:09. > :36:11.has changed, we have professionals in the Olympics now like Andy Murray

:36:12. > :36:19.and the golfers and they make vast sums outside of the Olympics, so

:36:20. > :36:23.some will say it's only fair for some of the more amateur athletes,

:36:24. > :36:26.because of all the time and dedication they put into this, and

:36:27. > :36:35.they get endorsements as well. If they are good. The sums are quite

:36:36. > :36:40.staggering. Retail sales here for July our bumper. Because June was

:36:41. > :36:44.dismal. But nearly 6% growth compared to July of last year. They

:36:45. > :36:49.say the better weather prompting people. They say nothing to do with

:36:50. > :36:55.Brexit, it's not putting off consumer spending. Also a positive

:36:56. > :36:57.spin on the Brexit with the pound dropping in value, more foreigners

:36:58. > :37:02.are coming in because it's cheaper and they are spending their money in

:37:03. > :37:09.droves. Thank goodness for that. Cheers, Aaron. He's in a rush. A

:37:10. > :37:14.record number of students have been accepted for university places.

:37:15. > :37:21.Let's talk to our correspondent at university clearing HQ. Hello,

:37:22. > :37:30.Daniel. Hello, yes. The headline figure is 424,000 places offered, up

:37:31. > :37:33.3% on last year. I am here at Ucas where they are taking calls and

:37:34. > :37:37.enquiries from students who need more information about the process,

:37:38. > :37:41.what has happened to their application, or if they haven't got

:37:42. > :37:45.the great they wanted, how they go about finding an alternative course.

:37:46. > :37:51.Going one step back to A-levels, the results are generally stable though

:37:52. > :37:54.there has been a fall in the number of modern language qualifications.

:37:55. > :37:57.Girls are still doing better than boys, although for the first time in

:37:58. > :38:03.five years that gap has been narrowing. Let's talk to the schools

:38:04. > :38:08.standards minister. A-levels are generally stable? Yes, and this is a

:38:09. > :38:11.combination of two years of hard work by students, so we should

:38:12. > :38:14.congratulate them on their achievements as they get their

:38:15. > :38:18.results today. But we are seeing record numbers of students securing

:38:19. > :38:22.places at university. Not only that, record numbers of students from

:38:23. > :38:25.disadvantaged backgrounds gaining a place at university which is

:38:26. > :38:30.precisely what the government wants to achieve. The fall in languages

:38:31. > :38:35.must be a worry? It is a worry and something we are keen to address and

:38:36. > :38:38.have been addressing. It's why we emphasise the English baccalaureate,

:38:39. > :38:44.range of GCSEs, including foreign managers. All year seven students

:38:45. > :38:48.will be expected to take a foreign language GCSE and in time that will

:38:49. > :38:51.feed through to A-levels. We want more people studying languages at

:38:52. > :38:54.university because we are an international trading nation and we

:38:55. > :39:00.need our young people to have those languages. Boys narrowing the gap on

:39:01. > :39:04.bills but still work to do? Yes, very encouraging that the gap is

:39:05. > :39:08.beginning to narrow. We have reformed the curriculum at primary

:39:09. > :39:11.school in secondary school, refund GCSEs and A-levels. We are securing

:39:12. > :39:17.higher quality teachers coming into the profession and the aim is to

:39:18. > :39:21.improve the quality of teaching at schools to narrow that gap. Looking

:39:22. > :39:25.at university places, record number offered. For everybody getting a

:39:26. > :39:28.place that's a very good thing, but does there come a point when the

:39:29. > :39:35.currency is devalued because too many people are going to university?

:39:36. > :39:39.We have a demanding, economy, and we need graduates to fulfil the demand

:39:40. > :39:45.for skills. There is also the apprenticeship route. We secured 2

:39:46. > :39:49.million apprenticeship starts in the last Parliament and we have the

:39:50. > :39:52.ambition for 3 million apprenticeships in this Parliament.

:39:53. > :39:57.For anybody that has a degree now, statistics show that you will be

:39:58. > :40:02.earning about ?9,500 more per year over your career, so it is worth

:40:03. > :40:06.gaining a degree because our economy is crying out for more and more

:40:07. > :40:10.graduates and young people with the skills. Earning more, but many

:40:11. > :40:16.people will be leaving with hefty debts at the end of their courses?

:40:17. > :40:18.Yes, and that means we can have a sustainable universities sector

:40:19. > :40:22.which is properly funded. Of course those student loans are not like

:40:23. > :40:27.credit card debt or bank loans, it's very benign. You only start repaying

:40:28. > :40:34.once you are earning over ?21,000 and then the repayments are not hard

:40:35. > :40:37.on young people. If you have the ability and motivation to get a

:40:38. > :40:42.degree, it is worthwhile financially doing so. You say that it is benign

:40:43. > :40:45.but it's a big chunk of money and some universities are considering

:40:46. > :40:49.raising fees. By the rate of inflation they are allowed to, but

:40:50. > :40:53.only if the quality of teaching is high. And if it is not high then

:40:54. > :40:58.they will not be allowed to raise their fees. With universities having

:40:59. > :41:02.a cap on the number of students they can offer places to removed, some

:41:03. > :41:07.people are now saying this is a buyers market, that things have

:41:08. > :41:10.shifted, giving students more control, universities having to

:41:11. > :41:14.fight harder for the best students? Yes, there's never been a better

:41:15. > :41:18.time to be an undergraduate looking for a place at university. The

:41:19. > :41:22.universities are competing amongst themselves for the best graduates.

:41:23. > :41:26.As a government we have insisted that universities improve the

:41:27. > :41:30.quality of teaching, and to ensure that universities are offering

:41:31. > :41:33.courses that give the widest opportunity for graduates when they

:41:34. > :41:39.leave university to have the best chance of securing a job in what is

:41:40. > :41:43.a very demanding, modern economy. Many thanks. Questions behind me

:41:44. > :41:47.being answered by students who need that extra help. We are told that

:41:48. > :41:52.enquiries for the most popular courses are for economics, law and

:41:53. > :41:56.for psychology. Of course if anybody does need any more help, that is

:41:57. > :42:00.available on the BBC News website, where there are a number of links to

:42:01. > :42:01.get that information to get the extra help. Thanks, Daniel, thank

:42:02. > :42:03.you. On any one night 3,569 people

:42:04. > :42:07.are sleeping rough in England alone. Today, a group of MPs is backing

:42:08. > :42:10.a plan that would see homelessness really reduced if it was made law

:42:11. > :42:13.because it would make it harder for councils to turn

:42:14. > :42:25.away homeless people. Let's talk now to Petra

:42:26. > :42:27.Salva from St Mungo's, MP Bob Blackman who a Conservative

:42:28. > :42:31.MP on the Communities and Local Government Committee

:42:32. > :42:33.who believes the government needs a whole new approach on tackling

:42:34. > :42:35.homelessness, and Daniel Harris and Kelly Judge who have

:42:36. > :42:41.both been homeless. Tell us about the plan? At the

:42:42. > :42:45.moment the performance of local authorities is mixed, some get good

:42:46. > :42:50.service but the vast majority of people are just turned away without

:42:51. > :42:53.help or advice. There is no early intervention by local authorities so

:42:54. > :42:57.they wait until someone literally has their bags packed, on the

:42:58. > :43:01.streets, and then they say, let's look at whether we have a duty to

:43:02. > :43:06.house you are not, they do a tick box exercise, and then say you do

:43:07. > :43:11.not qualify. You are not vulnerable enough. So you are on your own. So

:43:12. > :43:14.we are trying to say let's have a requirement on local authorities for

:43:15. > :43:19.a statutory code of practice so that they have to help and advise. Not

:43:20. > :43:23.necessarily how is everyone but help and advise people, tell them you can

:43:24. > :43:27.go to this charity, this registered social landlord, and these are

:43:28. > :43:32.people that will help you, not just a directory of estate agents and so

:43:33. > :43:36.on. But early intervention so that before people are threatened with

:43:37. > :43:40.homelessness they will produce a personal housing plan for those

:43:41. > :43:43.individuals that are potentially at risk so that we get to a point

:43:44. > :43:49.whereby we prevent people from becoming homeless in the first

:43:50. > :43:53.place. What's the 56 day bit? If somebody is literally rough sleeping

:43:54. > :43:57.and has nowhere to go then the local authority will have the duty to

:43:58. > :44:00.house them for up to 56 days. There will also be a duty on the

:44:01. > :44:05.individual to cooperate with the local authority, identifying and

:44:06. > :44:10.following the plan so they get into housing on their own. Daniel, Kelly,

:44:11. > :44:22.tell our audience what it's like to be homeless. It's not fun. It's

:44:23. > :44:27.scary, it's dangerous. As a woman, there was many times I felt very

:44:28. > :44:32.vulnerable. And would try to find somewhere dark and secluded so that

:44:33. > :44:37.no one could bother me. I was having a discussion earlier actually, my

:44:38. > :44:41.probation officer asked me, I was on integrated offender management, I

:44:42. > :44:49.said, aren't I meant to be under curfew? He said yes, at the beach

:44:50. > :44:52.hut on the seafront. Daniel? I live in emergency accommodation at the

:44:53. > :44:56.moment so I am actually still homeless. The accommodation I live

:44:57. > :45:02.in is substandard. We've had ceilings for through. People at home

:45:03. > :45:08.might look at me and say, you not on the streets. Yeah, you've got a roof

:45:09. > :45:14.over your head. But you also need to know what the roof over our heads

:45:15. > :45:16.look like. They used to be temporary basis, these emergency accommodation

:45:17. > :45:20.is, but people have been living in them for years now. People are

:45:21. > :45:24.isolated socially, you are not allowed visitors. It's just not a

:45:25. > :45:28.great position. In your experience when you've been to the council and

:45:29. > :45:34.said, I need somewhere to sleep, please, have you both been turned

:45:35. > :45:37.away? Yes. Because you are not, for example, a single woman with three

:45:38. > :45:39.children or whatever. And they have a shortage of housing stock, if they

:45:40. > :45:51.could, they would, presumably? It is social housing, at its worst,

:45:52. > :45:57.but the criteria you have to meet, like Bob was saying, I don't fit

:45:58. > :46:03.that. So they cannot assist. Whether I have just come out of prison,

:46:04. > :46:08.whether I am in treatment, domestic violence, whatever the case may have

:46:09. > :46:12.been. And that is what I have said to the action group, people in

:46:13. > :46:17.temporary accommodation, from my own experience, when I went to the

:46:18. > :46:22.Council, I have actually been turned down, so they said I wasn't eligible

:46:23. > :46:25.for homelessness, then that had to get overturned, I had to get

:46:26. > :46:29.professionals involved. You are at the worst point in your life, you

:46:30. > :46:33.have been through it, to crisis, having to deal with that. Then the

:46:34. > :46:37.other side, I really want to make clear to people that many people are

:46:38. > :46:42.profiting from us vulnerable at the moment, and the private sector of

:46:43. > :46:47.rented accommodation is massively increasing, and this policy, it is

:46:48. > :46:51.great because it will take people out of street homelessness, but what

:46:52. > :46:55.we really need to be looking at is a 100% increase in Brighton and Hove

:46:56. > :46:58.for private than that of companies having ownership of emergency

:46:59. > :47:02.accommodation, and they are making millions of pounds, we know 10

:47:03. > :47:05.billion has been spent every single year from housing benefit money

:47:06. > :47:08.going to private companies, landlords, and we have to put

:47:09. > :47:15.pressure on local authorities to build council housing as it used to

:47:16. > :47:20.be in the 1960s. What to think of the plan that people like Bob

:47:21. > :47:24.Blackman are backing, this early intervention, 56 day accommodation

:47:25. > :47:28.straightaway? As an organisation that sees rough sleepers and

:47:29. > :47:32.homeless people every single day, we are fully supportive of it. It is a

:47:33. > :47:35.scandal that people have to turn to the streets or have to have the

:47:36. > :47:41.bailiffs come to their door before they can get the help they need. I

:47:42. > :47:45.think it is absolutely the right thing, prevention is absolutely the

:47:46. > :47:50.right way to go. It is costly not to do this, in fact it is a no-brainer

:47:51. > :47:55.not to do this, to extend the local authority's duty. It is costly for

:47:56. > :48:00.the individual, once they get to the crisis point, and it is costly to

:48:01. > :48:03.the taxpayer. In actual fact, I think we would save money in the

:48:04. > :48:08.long term if we were to go further upstream and help people further

:48:09. > :48:12.upstream. I take the point that we need to build more social housing, I

:48:13. > :48:16.take the point that it will be difficult, but in one of our

:48:17. > :48:21.projects, we see a third of people who have come to our door, sleeping

:48:22. > :48:25.rough in the capital, months beforehand, they have been to see

:48:26. > :48:31.their local authority. All we end up doing... That is where this plan

:48:32. > :48:34.would kick in. The idea, obviously, is that the local authority

:48:35. > :48:42.intervenes early, and this will save money in the long term. Helping

:48:43. > :48:46.someone who is on the streets, suffering health problems, all of

:48:47. > :48:51.that costs the public services are enormous sums of money. Be honest

:48:52. > :48:55.with the audience, what chance of this becoming legislation? We are

:48:56. > :48:59.waiting to see if the government supports us, we have cross-party

:49:00. > :49:04.support. A very strong chance, a very strong chance. This is not the

:49:05. > :49:07.panacea for all ills, we have to increase supply and do other things

:49:08. > :49:12.as well, but this is a starting point. Is it true you might be made

:49:13. > :49:20.homeless again in November? Yeah, I am currently in a dry house, a

:49:21. > :49:27.charity organisation, and after the addiction, homelessness, prison,

:49:28. > :49:31.treatment and a year of clean time and getting my life back together, I

:49:32. > :49:36.am potentially facing being homeless again in November. Because the place

:49:37. > :49:41.runs out. You only get allocated time, there is no social housing.

:49:42. > :49:47.They used to get nominations from the council, but they don't get that

:49:48. > :49:53.anymore because they haven't got it. So I would be left to fight in the

:49:54. > :50:00.private sector, and I have got no chance whatsoever, on benefits, I am

:50:01. > :50:05.hoping to go back to studying, but I would have to sign off benefits, get

:50:06. > :50:09.no housing benefit, which means I would have to leave my

:50:10. > :50:14.accommodation. Potentially, the stress of finding somewhere to live

:50:15. > :50:18.good lead me back to the streets, which could lead me back to using,

:50:19. > :50:23.which could lead me back to crime, prison, back to where I was this

:50:24. > :50:30.time last year. Wow. That has not got to happen. Definitely, I'm going

:50:31. > :50:38.to try everything I can to not let that happen. But at the same time,

:50:39. > :50:42.you know, you have got a problem in the sense that the government voted

:50:43. > :50:48.for a planning bill that is the nail in the coffin for social housing.

:50:49. > :50:52.Well, clearly, what we have got to do is increase the supply of

:50:53. > :50:57.housing. Governments of all persuasions have failed to deliver.

:50:58. > :51:01.Answer Daniel's specific point. In the housing and planning bill, we

:51:02. > :51:04.have the right to buy for housing association tenants, it completes

:51:05. > :51:10.the loop on encouraging people to take responsibility on their own,

:51:11. > :51:13.for their housing, but equally, we are increasing the supply and

:51:14. > :51:17.increasing the responsibility of local authorities to look after

:51:18. > :51:20.people who are most vulnerable, and the point I would make, in

:51:21. > :51:25.conclusion, is that we have record levels of employment, relatively

:51:26. > :51:31.low-level is of unemployment, yet still we have people sleeping rough.

:51:32. > :51:35.A quick final word. The right to buy in Scotland and Wales has been taken

:51:36. > :51:42.away, and most of the right to buy properties on the market, within the

:51:43. > :51:45.private sector, they used to be social housing, and now they are

:51:46. > :51:51.priced four times as much. It is not working, it needs to stop.

:51:52. > :51:55.Thank you all very much. Thank you for your comments on whether there

:51:56. > :51:59.should be an Olympic parade for Team GB athletes after Rio. Sue said,

:52:00. > :52:01.many of us have stayed up to the early hours to watch the

:52:02. > :52:05.achievements of our athletes, wouldn't a parade be a nice way to

:52:06. > :52:12.show appreciation? In 2012 it was brilliant. Let's talk to the former

:52:13. > :52:17.Olympics Minister Tessa Jowell, Dame Tessa Jowell, good morning. Good

:52:18. > :52:22.morning. What do you think? I think they should certainly be a parade,

:52:23. > :52:26.and as I have been thinking about it this morning, I think the question

:52:27. > :52:30.is whether it should be in London, or whether it should be in one of

:52:31. > :52:37.our other cities, other parts of the country. Because there was a logic

:52:38. > :52:45.to have the parade in London because London had been the host city. But I

:52:46. > :52:49.think that we don't necessarily want to insist that every moment of

:52:50. > :52:55.national celebration is held in London. So what about Birmingham?

:52:56. > :53:00.What about Manchester? Hull will be the City of Culture, what about

:53:01. > :53:03.Leeds? So, yes, there should definitely be a parade, because that

:53:04. > :53:07.is a chance for people to come out and show their appreciation and join

:53:08. > :53:12.in the celebration of the achievements of our athletes. I also

:53:13. > :53:17.think, though, that there should be one parade to celebrate both our

:53:18. > :53:24.Olympians and also our Paralympians, because I think a very important

:53:25. > :53:28.part of the legacy of London 2012 was the equivalence between the

:53:29. > :53:32.summer Games and the Paralympics, and we can all remember the

:53:33. > :53:37.extraordinary excitement, seeing and understanding, many people for the

:53:38. > :53:42.first time, the power of Paralympic sport, so yes to a parade, yes to a

:53:43. > :53:46.parade with Olympians and Paralympians, and I think the

:53:47. > :53:52.question is where the parade should be held. Yes. We were talking to

:53:53. > :53:55.some people earlier he would definitely up for a parade, and they

:53:56. > :54:00.suggested many parades all around the country. That might cost too

:54:01. > :54:08.much, I don't know, there is policing and... If you remember,

:54:09. > :54:14.after 2012, letterboxes in the towns of the athletes who won gold were

:54:15. > :54:19.painted gold, and so there are also of ways of celebrating. There is

:54:20. > :54:22.something, though, about bringing all the athletes together, every

:54:23. > :54:30.single one of our athletes who has won an Olympic medal, so I think it

:54:31. > :54:38.will be for individual towns and villages, cities to celebrate their

:54:39. > :54:43.citizens, their Olympic citizens. But I do think that, for the country

:54:44. > :54:46.to say thank you, to say congratulations, to say, we are

:54:47. > :54:49.proud, there should be one parade that brings all the athletes

:54:50. > :54:54.together. Thank you very much, thanks for coming on the programme,

:54:55. > :54:58.Tessa Jowell, former 2012 Olympics Minister. Lots of action today on

:54:59. > :55:04.day 13, and one of the highlights will be when Alistair Brownlee seeks

:55:05. > :55:10.to retain his London 2012 triathlon title. His brother Jonny, who won

:55:11. > :55:15.bronze four years ago, is going to try to beat is Big Brother. They

:55:16. > :55:20.train in round a part in Leeds, let's talk to British triathlon's

:55:21. > :55:26.head of participation, and China, who took up triathlon to improve his

:55:27. > :55:36.fitness. Hello, both of you. Natalie, tell me first of all

:55:37. > :55:40.exactly how much the Bradley -- Brownlee brothers are important to

:55:41. > :55:46.inspire others to take up triathlon. Massively important, the whole squad

:55:47. > :55:50.is so inspiring, particularly the Brownlees, they love the fact that

:55:51. > :55:54.they inspire others to take part, lots of young people to take part,

:55:55. > :55:59.they are great ambassadors. And is it true that you are a former boxer,

:56:00. > :56:05.you bumped into them one day, this is the story and they inspired you?

:56:06. > :56:11.Yeah, to be honest, they do not live far away, I am from the north of

:56:12. > :56:15.Leeds, and I bumped into Jonny, he was with Mark Buckingham, who was on

:56:16. > :56:20.the early morning show, BBC Breakfast, and he said, do you fancy

:56:21. > :56:28.a cup of tea? We had a little chat, and I mean, very open, very

:56:29. > :56:33.welcoming, difficult Leeds boys. Sorry, this is going to sound like a

:56:34. > :56:39.really stupid question, but what is the difference in training between

:56:40. > :56:44.triathlon and boxing? I think it is a similar sort of mindset, you have

:56:45. > :56:48.got to really, really wanted. With triathlon, I would say it is more

:56:49. > :56:55.open for anyone to do it. Boxing, you need a certain mindset to

:56:56. > :56:59.actually advance in that game. With triathlon, we're not talking about

:57:00. > :57:04.the elite levels now, just participation levels for everyone, I

:57:05. > :57:08.think it is there for anyone to do. There are three disciplines, take

:57:09. > :57:13.the pick of the one you want to be best at, but if you are a great

:57:14. > :57:18.swimmer, fantastic, focus on that. Some people are really good runners,

:57:19. > :57:23.some are really good cyclists. It is important, good because you have got

:57:24. > :57:27.the three disciplines. In terms of training, boxing was extremely hard

:57:28. > :57:30.because you are getting hit back. In triathlon, it depends on how many

:57:31. > :57:37.competitors are taking part, you might get the odd knock while you

:57:38. > :57:42.are swimming. But you learn a lot in the game. Natalie, what are you

:57:43. > :57:49.expecting from the Brownlees in Rio, then? Well, you know, we would love

:57:50. > :57:56.to have a kind of 1- to, we are hoping for kind of two to three

:57:57. > :58:00.medals across the men's and women's, so high expectations, but we are all

:58:01. > :58:06.really proud, and they are doing a great job at there. We are all

:58:07. > :58:09.pretty excited and geared up for this afternoon, really. Presumably

:58:10. > :58:18.you do not mind which brother wins gold and which wins silver, is that

:58:19. > :58:24.fair?! Not at all, not at all! No, I was just going to say, obviously, I

:58:25. > :58:28.would be nice to see Jonny, but as long as it is one or the other, I am

:58:29. > :58:34.sure we are all going to be happy, as long as they are doing it for

:58:35. > :58:35.Team GB, for Leeds, fantastic. Thanks for watching, back tomorrow

:58:36. > :58:48.at nine. There is rain on the way, before too

:58:49. > :58:49.long holiday makers will have to find some other distractions. Yes,

:58:50. > :58:50.trouble
