we're talking about this morning. Use the hashtag Victoria live

and if you text you will be charged Our top story today,

some of the country's most senior medical leaders have condemned

the series of strikes planned by junior doctors

in England as the row over A week-long walkout this month

will be followed by three more five-day strikes in October,

November and December. The Academy of Medical Royal College

says the proposed action is disproportionate,

as Keith Doyle reports. It's the worst industrial relations

dispute in the history of the NHS. With the BMA's announcement

of five-day strikes each month to the end of this year,

this is a rapidly escalating row. The strikes will now stretch

from 8am to 5pm from 12th Then in October from 5th to 7th

and the 10th to the 11th. Junior doctors will then walk out

again from 14th to 18th of November and from the 5th

to the 9th of December. The announcement came just a few

hours after Theresa May made clear she supports the contract

the government is imposing She accused the BMA of playing

politics and failing And now another significant

intervention from the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges,

made up of leaders of It says it is disappointed

at the prospect of further sustained industrial action at a time when

the NHS is under extreme pressure. While it acknowledged

there were genuine concerns among doctors, it says the proposed

strikes are not proportionate and will cause real problems

for patients and the profession. The BMA says the government

could stop the strikes by calling off the imposition of the contract,

which is due to begin in October. It says the contract

is still not fair for all. The NHS has scant resources to meet

this winter's increased demand. This year, to add to seasonal

illness and injury, it now faces the prospect of crippling

strike action also. He is the chief

executive of National Voices which represents charities

that support patients. How concerned are you about these

new strikes announced? Good morning. Well, our job is to look at things

from the point of view of patients and we are concerned about this huge

escalation in the industrial dispute and frustrated, given that a deal

was very close to being settled earlier in the summer. There is no

end in sight to these strikes. They will have an impact on patients. We

can't be sure exactly what the impact will be because it depends on

how well the NHS contingency planning is. But we are concerned

and we would like doctors to call off the strike and both sides to get

back around the negotiating table. When you are talking about impacts,

you don't know how much of an impact but presumably we are talking about

operations and routine procedures delayed? Operations will be

cancelled, appointments postponed, procedures postponed: What we can't

be sure about is the level of disruption. In the previous

stoppages when junior doctors walked out the rest of their colleagues,

including senior consultants and nurses and the rest of the

healthcare staff, rallied around in an effective way so disruption was

less than the worst case scenario that people had feared. So, we are

in slightly unchartered territory. It depends on how many doctors walk

out and what happens locally and how well hospital trusts plan around the

strike. Undoubtedly we can't be sure about the numbers but overall the

impact will be delay and disruption and cancellation of all kinds of

things and that will cause uncertainty and delay and disruption

and inconvenience to patients and their families. So, at a time when

the NHS is struggling just to get through a normal day, let alone days

when there are strikes. We don't think this is the best way to

resolve the dispute. If you are at home, you have a letter, you are

expecting a routine operation or a procedure to take place what should

you do now? Should you be contacting the NHS or will people get in touch

with you? Well, people should get in touch with patients but I think if

anybody is anxious and uncertain they probably should feel empowered

to get in touch themselves with the hospital, the doctors to find out

what the state of play is. I fear that for many people there will be a

degree of uncertainty, possibly right up until the last minute as

the hospitals try and plan around the strike and work out how many

people are going to be on strike. So get in touch and try and get

clarity. Often in these situations the worst thing for people is

uncertainty and anxiety around that, particularly if they've had to make

big domestic arrangements to work around the need to go into hospital

and to get relatives and friends involved in helping out. So it's

going to be disruptive. If people are concerned they should be in

touch with their local NHS to find out how it's going to affect them.

Thank you. And if you are going to be affected by that and you are

expecting a operation or appointment, do get in touch.

More success for Britain's men at the US Open in New York, I hear,

but Andy Murray found it tricky to play under the roof there.

This is interesting. If you haven't seen the scores as it were, Andy

Murray and Dan Evans into the third round of the US Open, the first time

since 1968 they've had three Brits into that stage of the US Open.

Murray not happy because he was playing yesterday and the scoreline

was comfortable in the end. It was under the new roof at the Arthur

Ashe stadium. $150 million for that roof. It was raining torrentialally

yesterday and at times Murray said it was like wearing headphones, he

couldn't hear the ball. It's interesting to think at that level

you need to news that sense to have your full game. It didn't seem to

bother him too much. He was a winner. Dan Evans won in four sets

will take on the Swiss Stan Wawrinka. Let's talk cricket.

You have a different set of players. There are a few that play Test and

is a massive turnaround for this team who were struggling a few years

ago. Trevor Bayliss took over after the embarrassing World Cup in 2015

and Eoin Morgan, the captain, has had a turnaround, as well. He was

criticised last year and asked to step down by sections of the media

and ex-players. People in there like Morgan, Hales, they're breaking

records. Chris Woakes. They set a highest one-day score of all time.

Yesterday comfortable, a 4-0 they lead that series with one to play.

In a moment we'll speak to Juliet Stevenson and we'll talk about the

campaign she's been involved with to get more children over to the UK and

she's even visited the Calais jungle, as it's known. We are going

to cross over now to hear from Boris Johnson. The Foreign Secretary is

about to meet EU foreign ministers, but he is stopping off in Austria on

the way and is speaking in Vienna. Whatever our relationship with the

European Union, I was very clear and the minister also understands

clearly, we are not leaving Europe. We are leaving the European Union.

We do want a strong European Union but we also want a strong united

kingdom and I think we share a vision for a strong, a new European

partnership between the UK and the European Union and ever closer

relations with Britain and Austria. I'm the proud possessor of a cowbell

given to me by Topol Meyer, I'm proud to say, because they built a

wonderful cable car in London with European Union funds. It was an

Austrian investment in London, and we are very, very grateful for that

I also want to take the chance to congratulate the Minister on his

30th birthday. Many happy returns. Thank you very much, everybody. That

was Boris Johnson speaking in Vienna talking more about cowbells and 30th

birthday celebrations than Brexit, that he will be meeting EU foreign

ministers later on today and hopefully we will get more on that

later but Juliet Stevenson, the actors and campaign is with me to

talk about those dreadful images we all saw a year ago of Alan Kurdi.

It's difficult to not look at those pictures and not be moved but you

think it changed anything? We heard it's a cliche, a game changer, it's

going to change the way we deal with a migrant crisis. I think it did for

a while. That picture moved millions of people all over the world and

charities who do with refugees said it was extraordinary for a while,

websites spiked up to many thousands of hits a day, and there was a big

response to the image of that little boy 's body, but it did not last.

Many, many hundreds of children have died since he died, in this last

year, and still a crisis goes on, and we're not really meeting our

responsibilities to help them. Let's talk about those responsibilities.

You've been to the jungle in Calais, and many unaccompanied children

there. Tell us about the conversations you had. Yes, I've

been several times, six weeks ago I went and interviewed a whole group

of small boys between eight and 14 years old, Syrian and Afghan, and

I've never seen children in despair. I've seen my own kids angry and

frightened or upset, but never children in despair and it's

incredibly shocking. Many of those children have now been living in

this muddy field without their parents and proper food or education

or play spaces, or protection for nine months for that they've had a

winter and they are facing another winter if we don't do something

about it. We have a very proud tradition in this country, don't we?

We brought 10,000 Jewish refugee children over and we are rightly

proud of that tradition. These are war victims too. We really need to

be able to offer humanitarian help them as long as these crises last

and then hopefully they can home again. I want to bring in Muhammad,

15 years old, a child refugee from the Syrian war. And also Tim Farron,

as well, the leader of the Liberal Democrats. I want to speak to

Muhammad. We are hoping to speak to him on Skype but a few technical

problems. Muhammad, tell me what happened to you and your journey

from Syria. Hello. Our journey from Syria to Germany wasn't that much

difficult. We crossed the border, in one night, on the Dutch border and

we stayed in a refugee camp. About three months it took us. You came

with your mother, you have lost contact with your father? Yes, we

lost contact with my dad for three years, he was kidnapped by Isis. I

came with my mother and might two sisters. -- my two sisters. It's

awful to imagine what you've been through at just 15 years of age. You

have no idea what happened to your dad? You haven't had any word?

Actually, like a lot of people, we've heard that his dad but someone

told my mother he is alive but we're not about it. Is he alive or is he

dead? How difficult is that for you to deal with whilst you're trying to

rebuild a new life with your mother and sisters? Well, it's a big

responsibility. I have to take care of them. Life in Germany is not that

difficult, for the refugees who came for one or two years, something like

that. Have you made friends at school? Have you settled in in

Germany? German people are very welcoming and very nice people and,

yeah, I'm now at school and I've made a lot of friends. They are

really nice people here. They never hated anyone. Muhammad, it's great

to hear that. Juliet is smiling there is some good stories coming

out of this. Is that the kind of example of what you want to see here

in the UK of a young person from Syria being given an opportunity to

have a new life? Yes, absolutely, and the fact of the UK hasn't

stepped up and provided that opportunity to people like Mohammed,

has got so much to give, and such a terrible place to escape from, to

give him opportunities which is in Germany's favour, enhances Germany's

standing in the world, let's be honest, provide great new talent for

the country and we turn our backs. Listening to Alan Kurdi's father,

brings back the heartbreak for me again. I have been to the jungle

myself and been to some of the camps in Greece and met many of those

young people in desperate circumstances that Juliet talks

about. And I do think that photograph of Alan Kurdi's body on

the beach was hugely powerful. I remember not being able to look at

it myself and it being one of the most moving things I've ever seen. I

remember sending a message to the independent editor who publish that

photograph and just saying, you've done a really powerful thing here.

Because I think what did happen is that it took people's mind off a

story that was being peddled by some that the refugee crisis was all

about dreadful economic migrants trying to take advantage of

civilised society in the West. It made people realise what this is

really about, innocent, desperate families taking unspeakable risks

because the bigger risk was to stay put. That picture changed a lot,

but, sadly, a year ago, David Cameron was planning to take no

refugees from the crisis area and after he did that, he pledged, by a

lot of pressure from others, to take up to 20,000. He has taken, this

government now, has taken barely 1012 months and it seems to me we

have a government under Theresa May now, and David Cameron in the past,

desperate to do the minimum to help these desperate people to assuage

public opinion. That's why we need to keep up the pressure. Before we

talk about those numbers. Juliet, I'm interested it to get your

thoughts, living in a world of social media, you go through

Twitter, there's so many disturbing images all the time, we are

bombarded with from Aleppo and Syria. Do you think there's a danger

we become desensitised and an image, if had seen an image of Alan Kurdi

ten years ago, it would have stayed with people more than in the age we

live in? That's a real danger, yes, I do. What happens is this

conversation about refugees get appropriated all the time. Ordinary

people saw that image one year ago and we profoundly moved. People who

had kids and those who didn't wanted to do something with the

conversation gets appropriated into politics. If you are a kid living in

Calais, desperate, without parents, no education, hungry, it doesn't

help you you're being used as a political pawn. 178 of those

children in Calais have a legal right to be in the UK because they

have close family here. Under EU law they are entitled to be reunited

with their family and after the memorial for Alan Kurdi, we are

going to hand in a letter to Amber Rudd to say please bring 387

children, tiny number, in Calais, who have the legal right to be here,

some of them about half, because I have close family there, and the

other because they have been identified as extremely vulnerable,

and, under the amendment to the immigration bill that David Cameron

past, they need to be here. The government said this is going to be

the responsibility of local councils and so on, but many councils have

said they are willing to do that, and actually a lot of cancers have

been to Calais recently, last week, and very ready to do that but we

need the Home Office now to give it the green light, the support of the

government to recognise that desperate plight of this children,

and we must add up to our responsibilities. We will be very

ashamed of ourselves if we don't. Looking back at this period, will be

really ashamed of ourselves if history says these children were

suffering in these numbers to this extent and we did nothing as the

country. I don't think people want to be in a country that has that

reputation. Since the Brexit vote immigration

has been such a huge issue here in the UK. Karen on Facebook says we

have enough room, where is the humanity? Stop blaming this father,

he was looking for a better future, we don't know the half of it. The

world is to blame. However, John says three simple words, we are

full. What is we are full mean? These are children who already have

families in the UK. There is a bed waiting for these children in

somebody's home somewhere. They are legally entitled to be here. We are

not... People are worried about immigration and I can understand

that. I really, really do. But it's important to remember it's

completely different talking about the free movement of people inside

Europe which was a big issue in Brexit and that was one concern

which I respect, but there is a completely different issue to

children and families fleeing barrel bombs and gas and death in places

like Syria or Isis in Afghanistan. Those are two different categories

and what happens unfortunately is the whole thing gets lumped together

as immigration. But seeking sanctuary is an international legal

right and these are very, very tiny numbers. The movements of people

inside the EU which was the Brexit sort of preoccupation is a

completely different subject. We are not talking about that this morning.

Lots of people do confuse the issue together with immigration. They do.

I want to bring Mohammed back in who I am hoping is still on the phone,

from Germany, he is 15 and is settled in Germany. Do you think

that image of Aylan that we are talking about that was released a

year ago today, do you think that made politicians in Germany change

their mind s that why you feel you have a home now in Germany? Well,

actually the image, yeah, actually it made in the first month it made

like people start to say we have to help them like that. After that they

stopped like even thinking about the photo and like people start to don't

care. If they want really to help they can maybe just help like take

helping what is happening now in Syria, taking out what is happening

now in Syria by Isis and yeah, criminals. Thank you so much for

speaking to us from Germany. Thank you for coming in, Juliet and also

Open. Dan Evans secured one of the biggest wins of his career: Andy

Murray said it was like playing in headphones, so loud was the sound of

torrential rain on the new stadium roof. It didn't stop him from

winning in straight sets. Half-centuries from Ben Stokes and

Johnny Bairstow led England to a victory and a 4-0 lead in that

series. Laura Muir won the 1500 metres diamond league title. She

there is little for her to improve ahead of the championships.

Counter-terrorism police have launched an investigation

into an internet troll claiming to be a Jeremy Corbyn supporter,

who said on Facebook that a Jewish female Labour MP should be hanged.

Ruth Smeeth is now receiving special protection from police.

First of all, Ruth, tell us more about this. What threats have you

received? Since the end of June I have received somewhere in the

region of 25,000 pieces of abuse, I got 20,000 pieces of abuse within 12

hours. Once it starts on social media it keeps going. Most of it was

on social media, most of it was on Twitter. A great deal on Facebook

and calls to my office and e-mails. This was one of the worst, not The

Worst, but one of the worst that was quite clear and was passed over to

the counterterrorism team by parliamentary state this year, a

matter of weeks ago. It's vile. It's disgusting. And it's done in the

name of the leader of the Labour Party which makes it even worse. I

know that Jeremy Corbyn will condemn this but it's not about condemning,

it's what people are doing in his name and what is now seemingly

acceptable. Do you feel in danger? I think, look, the reality is we are

still a matter of weeks since Jo Cox was brutally murdered, any MP, not

least those of us that only got elected for the first time last

year, we are still doing everything at once, we are still trying to find

our feet and make sure we are representing our constituents to the

best of our abilities. Of course there have been moments of concern

and fear. The additional security, but it's

not about me. It's about what it means for friends and family and not

least my team and my staff, they're the ones that see all the abuse

first. They're the ones that have to deal with it and it's unacceptable.

I got elected, I put myself out there. I am honoured and privileged

to be representing my constituents, fighting for them. To suggest that

this has become normal now, that this level of abuse is acceptable,

it just simply can't be. Who else would want to get elected? Why would

anyone want to put themselves in this position and their families?

It's why we have to clamp down on it, it's not about me, it's about

everyone else that is elected or wants to be elected. Just give us

the background here, a little bit about the launch for the Labour

anti-Semitism review, remind us of that background. There was an

anti-Semitism review that was launched on 30th June earlier this

year. It had some significant findings in it. Unfortunately, the

launch event turned into an absolute farce where I was abused by, not

just someone in the audience who felt it was appropriate to attack me

and accuse me of being in cahoots with the media and also members of

the audience. At that point I walked out, I made no public statement and

walked out, that what led to this level of abuse. I turned the other

cheek and walked away. After that moment the world's gone crazy. It

shouldn't be that MPs like myself, like other Jewish MPs or female MPs,

and it has been women who have taken a brunt from this, should have to

ignore it. Jeremy Corbyn was clear, apparently, that while he condemned

it, we should ignore the abuse. Threats detailing how someone wants

to hang me and what they want to do to me, that's not something that I

nor the police can ignore. On that I want to say how amazing the police

have been. They've given an extraordinary service that they - to

me and to any of my constituents and for that I am very grateful. Let's

remind people of what you were talking about there when you were

heckled at that conference by a pro-Corbyn activist. He stood up and

accused you of colluding with the Telegraph newspaper. We have a short

clip of that. How dare you! The Labour Party has

to change in terms of representation, including Spads...

You mentioned Jo Cox and the murder of Jo Cox and the concerns you have.

Presumably for your family and friends it's a worrying time, as

well. It is and it's much more about them than me. I mean, the impact on

my mum and all the people that care about me, I have been touched by the

amount of support and solidarity from colleagues and friends but they

shouldn't have to think about these things and definitely shouldn't have

to see these things written about me in print. This is not an easy time

for anybody. And emotions are heightened because of the leadership

election within my own party. But that isn't an excuse. Politicians

and all people are getting bullied and harassed on social media. What I

need is for the leader of my party, the leader of the opposition to make

it clear what can be done. One of the things he could personally do,

this is being done in his name, not by him but in his name, he should be

naming and shaming some of the worst perpetrators doing it in his name

and making it clear publicly that they do not speak for him. That this

is unacceptable. It's not just enough that the wonderful staff at

the Labour Party expel people and the police have to deal with it,

there is a vile amount of racism and intolerance and abuse online which

then feeds on to our streets and leads to a culture of intolerance.

He could actually personally do something about, that's what I am

asking him to do. We have had a statement. I will read this to you.

The No abuse is carried out in Jeremy's name and no one responsible

for abuse is a genuine supporter of Jeremy's. This is why Jeremy

launched respect and unity, a code of conduct calling on members and

supporters to conduct themselves with a high standard of behaviour.

All evidence of abuse should be reported to both the party and to

the police so that action may be taken against the individuals

responsible. Also, the Labour Party has given us

a statement saying the Labour Party fully supports the work of the

police in ensuring the safety and protection of all MPs and their

staff. Threatening behaviour will not be tolerated within the party

and we urge anyone receiving any abuse to contact the party and where

relevant the police. We will do all we can to support Ruth and her staff

during this time. Ruth, thank you for joining us this morning and

telling us about that experience of yours.

Mother Teresa, the Roman Catholic nun who worked with the poor

in the Indian city of Kolkata is to be declared a saint on Sunday.

She died in 1997 at the age of 87, and was beatified -

the first step on the road to sainthood in 2003.

In a moment we'll be talking to those who knew her,

and those who are critical of the Vatican's decision

to make her a saint, but first let's take a look at some

prominent moments from her remarkable life.

Mother Teressa was a Roman Catholic nun accredited for her work

with the poor in the slums of the Indian city

Her order, the Missionaries of Charity, was set up

in 1950 and now operates in over 100 countries.

Now we are in 105 countries and we are 500 convents around

And what is very beautiful, many people thank me for giving them

It has helped so many people who have never had a chance to do

And through us they are getting a reward in the work so much.

Mother Teresa has received multiple honours including an order

of merit from the Queen, and in 1979 Nobel Peace Prize,

although she asked that the ceremonial banquet be cancelled

and the proceeds be given to the poor.

Her opposition to contraception and abortion but her at odds

She has been credited with two miracles, both involving

The first was a Bengali tribal woman who was cured from a stomach tumour.

The second was a Brazilian man with several brain tumours.

He put his dramatic recovery down to prayers offered to the nun

She will be officially named as a saint by Pope Francis on Sunday.

I'm joined now by Dr Priya Virmani who grew up

with Mother Teresa in Kolkata, Father Brian Kolodiejchuk

who was instrumental in the decision to make her a Saint and journalist

Paul Vallely who says she has been given the honour too soon.

Thank you for coming in. How old were you when you first met mother

Teresa? I was very little. I remember her before I even began

school. I would go to her orphanage, children's home, in Calcutta, and I

was too young so I would play with children but as I grew up, I began

volunteering as well. What was she like because people obviously have a

view of her as the person who did all of the good work, but on a human

level, what was she like? Personally, for me, she was an

extension of my family. She was the most compassionate, the most loving,

the most cheerful and funny granny I could ever have had. Or ever

imagined. I was always struck by how she met people irrespective of who

the person was, whether it was a beggar from the streets, a VIP,

journalist or even one of her fiercest critics, she always met

them with untempered compassion. Her face would light up of kindness and

her wrinkles would be radiant with her kindness, and her aura was one

of unconditional love, really, to receive or to feel and energy of

unconditional love from someone, who was not from your immediate family,

it is quite exceptional. Paul, you think that becoming a saint, as she

will on Sunday, is a bit too soon. Explain why. I'm not a critic of

mother to raise a full spyware went to one of their camps and Ethiopian

when I covered the famine and it was a place of extraordinary calm and

peace and serenity. I'm not critical of her, but critical of the Vatican.

Until recently, you had to have at least a 200 year gap between dying

and being made a saint and what that gap allowed was for your, the Church

calls her relic of virtue, your towering qualities, to overshadow

all the floors of your personality, and it was a process where people

were honoured by the passage of time. What has happened two Popas

ago, the system was changed and, instead of having a minimum of 50

years as a gap between the beatification and canonisation, it

was speeded up, fast tracked saint had introduced. What that does is

allow controversy into canonisation so there are a lot of critics of

mother to who say their homes concentrated on the care of a dying

rather than the cure of the living, and that she was in love with

poverty rather than the poor, and that she rubbed shoulders with rich

people, dodgy politicians, fraudsters, to get money off them

and didn't keep proper accounts. These accusations have been made

about her and I think there would be far better for the church if time

allowed those to fade and yours made a saint in 100 years rather than on

Sunday. Do you think any of those criticisms are justified because she

was, of course, against abortion, she did meet Saddam Hussein, got

money from Robert Maxwell. She rubbed shoulders with some people

who were unsavoury characters. I think it's very important to

contextualise the criticism that she is given for firstly, when you talk

about her homes which look after those who are dying, her point was

to lift people who were dying absolutely unloved with no dig the

tea at all on the streets, -- dignity, and I walk on the city

streets of Calcutta would prove that's happening today. She provided

them with basic care and a basic sense of dignity in death, and not

with 5-star hospital treatment, so that puts that aspect into context.

When you look at the fact she rubbed shoulders with the rich and the

famous, she did that in a very annoying way and often said, and she

wrote to President George Bush and Saddam Hussein in 1991, when the war

happened, saying, I appeal to you for peace. She did say, if people

were to come to her with their money, irrespective of how ill

begotten that money was, she felt that gave it a channel to allow that

money to then be used for more compassionate and good causes, she

was compassionate to the point of naivete, and she ran the risk of

being criticised because she was compassionate without exception. Did

you challenge her on her anti-abortion stance, for example? I

did not. I was a teenager and quite young when she passed away. But I do

understand that her stance on abortion came from her fundamental

religious conditioning and she did not make it a problem whereas we

understand it's important to look at the concept of abortion and see how

it intersects with other social economic factors, factors of gender,

a woman's choice over her body, whereas she took an entirely

overarching compassionate stance where she said all life is sacred

including that of a foetus. Paul, you've talked about the time as an

issue for you, but do you think she should be made a saint? She could

possibly be made a saint in 100 years' time, without any of this

controversy, and my concern is that this kind of controversy discredits

the Catholic canonisation process in the eyes of the wider world. I think

it would have been sensible and prudent to have waited a bit longer.

Thank you very much indeed for coming into the studio.

Do you have surgery planned this autumn?

Are you worried that your operation will be cancelled because

of the junior doctors' plans for strike action?

Hashtag victorialive or text us on 61124.

We'll be discussing that around 10am.

A ?20 million fund and a new review board has been unveiled in a bid

to improve Southern rail services and 'get to grips' with

Its profits have soared to ?99.8 million, a rise of 27%.

The government action comes after months of disruption,

strikes and a reduced service on rail routes in south London,

The Chief Executive has turned down a bonus and a pay rise. We can speak

to Peter Eisenach now, a customer of Southern rail who I presume is

pretty fed up this morning? Yes, an understatement. It has been hell,

the last few months. But I think what we have got... It's very good

to give up his bonus but my fares have up by 3%, so I'm still paying

more for a service that is not delivering what it should do.

Explain to people who don't use it, or don't understand how awful it's

been, what is your average commute? My commute is two hours. The actual

train journey itself should be less than one hour. It never is. What

happens is, you have to get on an earlier train to work to ensure you

are there on time. I have meetings that can't be cancelled at such, and

you tend to leave work later in the hope and expectation you will get

home but you never get home when you are supposed to. Your day is

elongated, your ability to ensure you are at a meeting at a set time

often means it's not possible. You can't often get a seat and its the

irregularity of the whole service. It's deplorable. It shows no sign of

getting better. It seems curious that you read these profits, a rise

of 27%, and just yesterday the government was saying, here are some

money to sort out which would suggest maybe money is not the issue

here. There are three main issues in this deplorable situation. The first

issue sorted if the ongoing dispute with the unions, which, until it

sorted, the fundamental issue will not go away, so you've got to get

that done and the politicians need to ban some heads and sort that out.

The second issue is often overlooked, the infrastructure.

Network Rail, who police the tracks and signals, we have got a Victorian

infrastructure, decades of underfunding, and a lot of the

delays are down to signal failures or sink holes, and any other type of

excuse, it's too hot, cold, leaves on the line, we've all been there.

I'm sure my fellow commuters will raise a wry smile. The third issue,

one which is not often talked about, is the Southern rail, when they took

over the franchise, misinterpreted a number of drivers they needed, not

enough, so they rely on the good nature of people. And of course, it

takes nine months to train driver, so this issue is ongoing and will

take time, but the union peace can be sorted quickly. The

infrastructure will take longer and the train drivers, hopefully, sooner

than later. Peter, and well done for getting in. It sounds like it's not

always possible on time. Still to come, Donald Trump 's wife is suing

the Daily Mail for alleging she worked as an escort back in the

Let's get the latest weather update with Alex Deakin.

Alex, Hurricane Hermeen has made landfall in Florida?

It's looking pretty grim. Yes, fascinating night but worrying if

you are in Florida. The Harry Kane has been developing over the past

few days. It has hit in the last few hours in North Florida -- Harry

Kane. -- Harry these are the pictures, you can see

the trees getting blown around. In terms of its wind strength, it's not

that powerful, only a category one storm. -- hurricane. Presumably some

holiday-makers could still be there? Terrifying if you've never

experienced it. This is the first hurricane to hit Florida directly

for 11 years, so we haven't seen this kind of thing for a while and

it's been fascinating to watch it through the night. The storm has

been gradually improving. The sea is pitifully warmer. You can see the

eye of the storm there as it made landfall. It is now weakened and

it's not even a hurricane any more, just a tropical storm. It's not the

wind which will cause the problem but the rain. It's swinging its way

across northern Florida, torrential rain, a couple of inches, and we

could see downpours over the next 24 hours or so. Very heavy rain,

coupled with a storm surge, where the seas surged up because of the

low pressure. That will cause further issues. I'll be at the start

of Harry Kane season? This is the peak. -- hurricane season? This is

Hermeen. It started that letter a each year? The last one was Wilma.

That was 2005. It won't be a storm any more in terms of wind strength

but very heavy rain coming into the Carolinas in the next couple of

days. We could see close to 400 millimetres of rain. A

life-threatening storm surge in the USA, so travel disruption at the

very least and the potential for tornadoes as well. We will give a

close eye on it for the next 24 hours but back home across the UK,

nothing quite bad lively. Low pressure systems to track and the

weather front of dribbling southward across England and Wales providing a

bit more cloud and a few outbreaks of rain here in there. Some

brightness as well across England and Wales. For Scotland and Northern

Ireland, some sunshine but also a few showers coming in, scattered

about, so it won't rain all day and actually, northern England, Wales

and the south-west of England, brightening up, and a pleasant

evening across Devon and Cornwall and most of Wales. For the Midlands,

East Anglia and the south-east, a cracking day yesterday but different

today, with rain and drizzle, nothing too heavy. Northern England,

Dell, damp morning and further north, sunny spells and some

showers. Showers most frequent in the north and west. North-east

Scotland could stay dry. Through the evening, the cloud and rain on and

off, and drizzle, will clear away, not completely until midnight and

the showers will go in the far north-west of the most of us, a dry

night with clear skies, light wind and a comfortable night. Not as warm

as lately, down to 13-14, so that's how we go into Saturday. The weekend

starts dry and fine but we have a complication, and messy picture,

this developing weather system, which has been keeping us on our

toes throughout the week as to when the rain will arrive and it looks

like most of us will start sunny on Saturday but the rain pushed and

Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England through the

morning and spreads its way into southern Scotland eventually into

eastern England through the day. The south-east may well not see the rain

until the evening and north-east Scotland should be a fine day. For

most, it turns wet and windy during Saturday. All that wind and rain is

heading towards Denmark by Sunday. We are left behind with a few

showers, particularly in the east, and a cool breeze blowing but

certainly for Northern Ireland, Wales and south-west England, after

a wet Sunday, Sunday looks like being a much drier and brighter day,

so all in all, the weekend is a complicated picture. It starts dry

and sunny on Saturday but we will see some rain on Sunday but many of

us it looks like being the dry and brighter day. More updates

throughout the day on ABC News and BBC weather website about that storm

in the USA. Welcome to the programme

if you have just joined us. Coming up: Patient groups warn

of a catastrophic impact on safety over junior doctors' plans

for a wave of strike action It's one year since the shocking

image of three-year-old Syrian refugee Aylan Kurdi who drowned

trying to cross to Europe. Looking back at this period we will

be really ashamed of ourselves if history says these children were

suffering in these numbers to this extent and we did nothing as a

country. I don't think people want to be in a country that has that

reputation. Donald Trump's wife sues

the Daily Mail over an article suggesting she worked as an escort

in the 1990s. Here's Ben in the newsroom

with a summary of today's news. Some of the country's most senior

medical leaders have condemned the series of strikes planned

by junior doctors in England, as the row over a new

contract intensifies. A week of strikes this month will be

followed by three more five-day walkouts in October,

November and December. The Academy of Medical Royal

Colleges says the proposed action One of the organisations

which represents charities that support patients has told this

programme further talks are needed. We are very concerned about this

huge escalation in the industrial dispute and frustrated, given that a

deal was very close to being settled earlier in the summer. There is no

end in sight to these strikes. They will have an impact on patients. We

can't be sure exactly what the impact will be. It depends on how

well the NHS contingency planning is, but kerb concerned and would

like doctors to call off the strike and both sides to get back around

the negotiating table. Over 100 faith leaders,

council chiefs and celebrities will gather outside the Home Office

That's the latest news. More from me at half past.

Don't forget to get in touch with us throughout the programme. One thing

we are talk being is this junior doctors strike. There will be three

more extra strikes in October and Nev and December. As a retired nurse

concerned about improving quality of patient care I support the proposed

action of junior doctors against the Government's new contracts. Sue got

in touch on e-mail, I am due to have an operation on 14th September, my

husband has booked holiday so he can look after me when I come home. If

my operation is rescheduled his company will not reschedule his

holiday. He is going to have to take it. When I finally do have my

operation he will have to take unpaid leave which will hurt us

financially. Another couple here, e-mail, fund resource and recruit a

seven-day NHS before you impose it. Bill on e-mail t should be noted

that the junior doctors will be striking for five days, they don't

want to miss extra pay for weekend work. Let's get all the sport now.

For the first time since 1968 there are three British men in the third

round of the US Open. Kyle Edmund has been joined in the last 32 by

Andy Murray and Dan Evans who secured one of the biggest wins of

his career. He beat Alexander Zverev, considered

one of the game's brightest young talents.

Andy Murray said it was hard to hear during his victory over Marcel

Granollers that it felt he was wearing headphones. They were

playing under the new roof. He pointed out that players use their

ears to help pick up speed and movement of the ball. When the rain

came it was certainly loud. I mean, you couldn't hear anything. So, I

mean you could hear the line calls but not so much when the opponent

was hitting the ball or even when you are hitting the ball really

which is tough, because purely because we are not used to it.

That's what makes it challenging. There was a defeat for Naomi Broady.

She lost in straight sets to world number four Radwanska.

champion. Chris Froome is still in contention

to complete the grand tour double. The Tour de France champion remains

second in the Vuelta in Spain after the 12th stage. 54 seconds behind

the overall leader Nairo Quintana. Double Paralympic champion Hannah

Cockroft says it would be devastating if the crowds were

sparse in Rio this month. She says the build-up to the Games has been

low key but she believes the enthusiasm is rising. I believe that

we have the support there, the ticket sales have been increasing

massively. Everyone is doing their bit now to push it forward. The only

thing that's going to make it a successful Games, as long as

athletes put the best performances in they can that's what a successful

Games is. That's all the sport. The headlines

in 20 minutes, see you then. Leading members of the medical

profession have raised concerns about the fresh series of strikes

planned by junior The Academy of Medical Royal

Colleges has warned about the impact of sustained industrial

action on patients. The junior doctors

insist the new contract, which is at the heart

of their dispute with the government, puts

patients at risk by imposing change with

insufficient resources. Here are the details

of the planned industrial action Junior doctors in England will walk

out for five days from 8.00 am on 12th September.

Unless industrial action is suspended or called off another

strike is planned from Wednesday 5th October to Tuesday 11th.

In November, junior doctors plan to walk out for another five days from

Monday 14th. In the run-up to Christmas they're proposing to

strike from Monday 5th December until Friday 9th.

With me now is our Health Editor, Hugh Pym, Liz McAnulty

who is a Trustee of the Patients Association.

And from Worcester - Stephen Dorrell - former

Conservative MP and Health Secretary who is now chair of the NHS

Confederation, which speaks on behalf of organisations that

plan, commission and provide NHS services.

Hugh, first of all, take us through this. Obviously, it's early days,

but I presume this is going to have a huge impact on routine operations,

doctors appointments within hospitals? Well, that's right. We

have seen this before. We have had two all-out strikes -- that was back

in April and thousands of postponed operations and appointments. It's

estimated in the coming weeks, action on September 12th, five days,

longer than last time, there will be something like 30,000 routine

operations and pieces of surgery postponed and thousands more

outpatient appointments. If you multiply by the extra strikes we

have heard about in October and November and December you get up to

something like 100,000 postponed routine operations. It does have a

big impact on patients. That being said, emergency care will be covered

by consultants and it's important to point that out, anyone who needs to

go to accident and emergency will be looked after. Most hospitals coped

pretty well with that side of things when this happened in April. Liz,

this is a real worry. I read a couple of comments out before from

people saying I have a routine operation, my husband's taking time

off work, maybe you have kids, whatever it is, you have plans in

place. It's hugely disruptive. And could potentially mean people don't

support the junior doctors any more? Well, that's not surprising that

people are very concerned about it and very concerned for themselves,

number one. But yes, there is a risk that the doctors will lose support.

They have had huge support, as have all of the health service

professionals and staff who are working in increasingly difficult

circumstances. But, for the patients now, there are five days, 30,000 as

you said in the first five days, that's not just the 30,000

individuals affected but all their families and in many cases people

with small businesses where they have to inform clients. It causes

absolute havoc for the patients. People are worried, as one of the

Patients' Association reports showed a few weeks ago, already many

thousands of patients are waiting much longer than the maximum time

for knee, hip operations, things that debilitate patients. They're

now going to have to wait even longer as a result of this. So, yes,

it's devastating. Let's bring in Stephen Doll, former

Health Secretary. The fact junior doctors are taking this action, it

shows how worried they are about this new contract. I think the two

points I want to make. It has the Academy of Royal oncology, the

professional leadership of the medical profession, that said today

this action is disproportionate. I completely agree with that. You

describe the new junior doctor contract in your introduction as the

government contract but actually this is a contract that is being

negotiated over a very long period, measured in years, and in the

concluding stages of that process, it wasn't the government, but the

independent ACAS, mediation service, chaired by Sir Brendan Barber,

former general secretary of the TUC, so not an instinctive supporter of

this government. Add to that process came a contract which, three months

ago, the leadership of the BMA themselves said was a good deal for

junior doctors. It is against that background I think the move from

industrial action in the first half of this year to considerably worse

industrial action in the second half of this year is rightly described as

disproportionate. As Stephen Dobell points out, the BMA recommended

junior doctors signed up to it so it's confusing for people to work

out why they are striking. It's confusing. The Academy got everyone

around the table and a deal was done and the BMA leadership signed up to

it with the government falls the junior doctor leaders then went

around the country and said it was a good deal, but the membership voted

against it and the BMA are saying, OK, we did what we thought was a

good deal, but if 58% vote against, that's what the members want, we

have to reflect their views, so the majority want to go back to the

negotiating table although the government understandably are

saying, what's the point of negotiating and they can't sell it

to the members? Surely the key issue here is that a responsible trade

union, which is what the BMA normally is, would then talk to its

members, not as Mark Porter said on the radio yesterday, throw out the

whole of this process and start again, move away from incremental

eyes Asian, as he put it, but would seek to demonstrate the deal that

they did in the context of the independent conciliation service,

the deal they did, which may be, with a couple of tweaks, that deal

should be a continuation to recommend the deal they did to their

members. The emphasis is on the contract, the junior doctors

contract, but the Secretary of State, when introducing it, it is to

enable doctors to provide a seven-day service. Well, the

difficulty we see from the Patients' Association is we are already

hearing from thousands of people a year about how the service is

creaking at the seams already on a five-day service. So we cannot

understand how the health service can expand to provide this service

without extra resources McGovern would've said there will be no extra

resources for this, so the contract and the blame game going on between

the Department of Health officials, the Secretary of State and doctors,

is going on and on and is very protracted but underneath all of the

squabbling, and blaming, many thousands of patients every day are

suffering as a result of a creaking service in many parts of the NHS,

AMD, GPs, mental health services, I could go on. What we really wish for

is that the Department of Health, the Secretary of State, the doctors,

would sit down today to stop the devastation which is going to occur,

and solve the immediate problem, but that will only be the tip of the

iceberg. They need to look at the wider issues that are causing

serious problems for patients in health and social care. This issue

of a seven-day NHS in England, it wasn't a Conservative manifesto is

the government feels it has a mandate to deliberate, but it has

got very confused in its argument over the contract which is a

technocratic issue, detail about how doctors are remunerated at different

times. The government says we need the contract but has not really

explained how they are linked and junior doctors are saying we work

anyway at weekends and this contract is nothing to do with seven days, so

I think the message has not been handled particularly well and has

allowed the junior doctors to say we are not convinced by this policy so

therefore we have major doubt about the contract. Stephen Doll, what is

the situation now for Jeremy Hunt? He, as the Health Secretary,

negotiated this contract and now his situation is looking untenable? His

position is not relevant in this. It is relevant. His position is

relevant because many junior doctors say that it's Jeremy Hunt himself

and was causing the problems here and actually, if he was removed,

maybe they could make some progress. But we can't have a position where

one part of the workforce of the NHS is going on strike because they

don't think the Prime Minister has made the right appointment as

Secretary of State for Health. This is an argument about the terms in

which people, the junior doctors, are working under contract. I agree

that it's a major distraction to be talking in this context about

seven-day working. The exchanges between the junior doctor leadership

on the leaked what SAP exchanges make crystal clear that this is an

argument about money for junior doctors, nothing to do with the

wider issues of the shape of services within the NHS and, in that

dispute, this is what I think is unforgivable. Against the background

of a long process that ended conciliation, recommended by the

BMA, we are now seeing patients, the quality of service delivered to

patients, put unnecessarily at risk at the choice of the BMA. Stephen

Dobell, thank you. We are encouraging patients if they want to

contact us for advice, to call the helpline. 0208, 429 999. And for us

to advise them on how, obviously become do anything about providing

an alternative to the surgery, but to advise them the best way to

negotiate an alternative date should be cancelled. But we are acting on

behalf of of patients to try and encourage all the bells and parties

to try and sorted out as soon as possible. Thank you for coming in.

An e-mail from Pauline, I fully support junior doctors, I have a

number of health problems and often end up in hospital. Junior doctors

do amazing work and the government should appreciate doctors before

Still to come: Donald Trump's wife, Melania, is suing

the Daily Mail Online for alleging that she worked

We'll get the latest from our own correspondent.

This morning, Nicola Sturgeon will gather with her SNP MPs,

MSPs and MEPS to begin talks about the road to a possible second

It's now nearly two years since Scotland voted to stay in the UK

55%. On September 18th 2014

the Scottish people voted to stay part of the UK -

55.3% voted to stay with the Union, A huge 84% of those eligible to vote

turned out to have their say - the highest ever referendum

turnout in the UK. Two years on, and Brexit

on everyone's minds - what are the chances Nicola Sturgeon

will call a second Referendum? And would the Scottish people vote

differently now than In Edinburgh, is Adarsh Sekhar

who voted for Independence in 2014, Judy Lockhart who voted to remain

part of the UK and thinks there shouldn't be a second

referendum at all. Asma Butt, who lives in Aberdeen

but is in Salford this morning voted to stay with the UK in 2014

but now regrets that. He voted for Scottish independence

and says he would again Elaine Martay, is in Dumfries

and thinks Scotland It was a Yes to independence

for her. And finally, Fiona Grace

is in St Andrews this morning. She voted to remain in the UK

IN 2014 but says she would vote to leave if there

was another referendum. Thank you all for joining us today.

I'm interested first of all that you voted to stay just two years ago but

you are regretting it. Tell me why. I wouldn't exactly say I'm

regretting it, rather I feel like what has happened is people have

been told that certain things would come as a result of voting to remain

in the independence referendum and less than two years later, things

actually changed and they changed a lot worse. I feel like that was the

result of unfortunately Conservative MPs coming up to Scotland, telling

us one thing and then going back down south, having a general

election and deciding, actually, to save our own party we need to put

the Scottish people to one side. I think it was a massive error of

judgment on David Cameron 's part. And it is why eventually led to his

exit from number ten and I think that's why, now Scotland is in a

position again where we can ask the people, do you still feel the way

you felt two years ago? You effectively feel like to? You were

nodding your head. Yes, I think we were lied to all the time.

Especially by the Tories. Explain more. Many people would say actually

they came out, said there would be more autonomy for Scotland, they

haven't gone back on that, so why do you feel lied to? Because they

seemed to really make it very frightening to people that the

economy would collapse, that we would not be allowed to have our own

money. It is all terribly exaggerated. It was also very

exaggerated in the media about the amount of violence and hatred going

on during the whole referendum when, in fact, it is extremely civilised.

And the only person who made that clear was Johnson oh. I can see Judy

is pulling faces -- Johnson oh. Speak directly to a layman. I live

in Glasgow and was a lot of violence in Glasgow, as somebody supporting

remaining in the UK, I felt like I got a lot of abuse and I know a lot

of people who would tell people they were voting for independence just

because they didn't want to face abuse. Glasgow has its own

particular problems and it isn't representative of the whole of

Scotland. We have got the largest section of voters. But still not the

whole of Scotland. While you can't sailor was no violence when I

experienced it. Certainly I wasn't exposed to any. I'm keen for you all

to speak to one another. Fiona, tell us your thoughts. In terms of

violence, it tore families apart. Personally, I voted to remain in the

UK because I wanted to be part of an outward looking country, not a

separatist one. The deal-breaker for me was remaining in the EU. I very

much agree that I felt lied to. The political landscape has changed

entirely. So I feel a second referendum is important so the

people of Scotland's voice can be heard. They both reflect a lot of

thoughts of a lot of friends of mine who also voted to remain and are

more on the fence this time, because two years ago, it was very much, in

terms of the life of Tories said, it was mainly around, in 2014, the idea

was very much if you vote to leave, the EU won't take you in, they would

be a lot of uncertainty were as now that has flipped and there's a lot

of uncertainty in Britain right now, and suddenly, an independent

Scotland seems much more likely to be in the EU than Britain would, so

that the main issue. In justice and lies people might be referring to. I

don't think that's fair to call that lies because David Cameron campaign

to stay in and many people said he was quite shocked when there was a

Brexit vote, so I'm not sure it's fair to say it's alive. I think

maybe lie is the wrong word, but you can't deny the landscape has

changed. Especially given that Scotland voted 60% to stay in, so I

don't know if it's the media but the appetite for a new referendum is

definitely there because of those changes in terms and a lot of

friends are agreeing with that. I want to bring in Abdul because he's

not had a say. Go ahead, Abdul. The thing about violence, I was at a

few gatherings at George Square in Glasgow and there was violence

there, but it wasn't certainly from the Yes side. I remember

particularly there was like a certain football club was playing at

the time and then after a football match they all gathered. The police

cordoned a tough. It was kind of scarupy but it certainly wasn't from

the Yes side there was violence. Even on the day of the referendum,

so again it was very peaceful. There was music playing, that kind of

stuff, but as soon as the result started to come in the violence

started to happen and you seen again it was actually the same group of

people that were doing the violence. It was actually those who voted to

Remain in the UK, if I am honest. A couple of points, the first about

the violence, that was what we were talking about. In terms of the

violence I think it's actually an arbitary line to draw, talking about

violence as if it only happened with Remain voters and Yes voters. I

don't think that's the case. I think what happened was it was an

emotional debate. What we were asked when it came to the independence

referendum was a question on how do you see your future, how do you see

the future of your children and the next generation coming up? How do

you understand that? The fact that 16 and 17-year-olds were allowed to

vote added to that emotion. Actually it was the narrative that was being

set which made it more emotional which then caused people to feel

like actually I am being affronted, people are coming up to me and

telling me that I am wrong or I need to shy away from actually exposing

what my views are. Secondly, I really wanted to make a point about

what Fiona was saying about being an outward looking nation and it's time

to have a second referendum. I am a little bit on the fence as to

whether we should have a second referendum. The reason for that is

because I feel that if we do have a second referendum we are actually

going to once again put the blanket over all the other issues going on

in Scotland right now. We will again just talk about finances, talk about

oil, talk about the fact that do we want the SNP to be the one-party of

the nation? I think that's actually quite a problematic concept. What I

think we should be doing in some respects I am torn, like I said, I

think that we should really be focussing on the actual issues that

are affecting people, like the fact that austerity hasn't meant that

people in Glasgow, people in Aberdeen and the Highlands even feel

connected to the central belt, especially Edinburgh. So, I think

that we need to be looking a lot more broadly at some of the issues

that have been quietened down in the last two years and meant that

charity work has been put on the back burner for politics of the

future. Everyone is nodding in agreement virtually as you talk

about that as when you were talking about the emotion of the referendum.

Fiona spoke about division with some families. Does Scotland really need

another referendum? Isn't it a case of referendum fatigue? Judy is

shaking her head. Scotland doesn't need a referendum. People should

believe in democracy. Scotland voted to remain in the United Kingdom.

Prior to a lot of us being born we also had a referendum, well, a vote,

I think it was in 1979 for devolution of powers and that didn't

go through either. What do people want? Third time lucky, best of

five? The people of Scotland have spoken. We haven't a vote every few

years because people aren't happy with something. When Scotland voted

to Remain, we voted to vote in nationwide vote as part of the UK,

so when Brexit came along we voted and it wasn't Scotland voted this

way, the people of the United Kingdom voted and democracy said we

should leave. That doesn't mean we should then have another vote on

independence in Scotland. You can't throw your toys out of the pram.

There is far more pressing problems in Scotland, the SNP or if the SNP

were put out, whoever the party is, at the moment SNP should be dealing

with education, NHS, there is loads of things. Yet they keep pushing for

independence. Scotland doesn't want it.

In regards to democracy, what you were saying about 1970, it was made

difficult. You had the 45%, a certain amount of people had to show

up to turn out to vote. In regards to the SNP pushing the referendum

agenda, I am a card-carrying member of the SNP but many points I

disagree with, but certainly the SNP are right now they're not focussing

on the referendum. They have a plan... They've started saying that

they're going to start looking out... They already have a strategy

in place, it's one of of the responsibilities, they are also

governing confidently in education and in healthcare and in trying to

do what they can for finance, as well. Just to say that the SNP is a

one-party issue is not fair at all. They are trying to do it, they're

trying to do a job here. It's not fair to say they're focussed on the

referendum. I think it's fair to say the statistics would say they're not

doing a good job. Democracy has spoken and I don't understand why

anybody should think they're arrogant enough to say they're view

is more important than the majority? I agree. I think that it's not so

much that we are saying that the SNP is a one-issue party. What we are

saying instead is that the SNP has a really Goodway of being able to

control the narrative in Scotland and be able to say that look at us,

we are the strongest party both for Scotland in Westminster and for the

party in Scotland. So, they have in terms of competencies, they look

competent. That's actually a fault of the other parties. We are not

trying to take down the SNP or anything like that. It's not to say

that the SNP is a one-party issue. Rather it's to say that the other

issues, like health, like education, like local Government, are actually

being put down. They're being put on the back burner. They're not in the

media. That's because the media listens to what the SNP have to say

and the SNP like to make headlines about independence. It's not about

them being one issue, it's about them being able to control the

narrative and hide their record. I have a feeling you could carry on

talking for another half an hour. Sadly, we have to leave it there.

People have been getting in touch with us. A tweet says, absolutely

not. They've had their chance. Do we have a referendum until they get the

answer they want? The whole of the UK should vote about Scotland,

otherwise it's a minority to get to decide whether the UK should be

broken up. Still to come:

There's a new warning about Zika virus with a study claiming that

a third of the world's population is vulnerable

including tourist hotspots in India and Indonesia.

We'll talk to the director of a travel clinic very shortly.

We know that children from poorer areas often lag

behind their classmates in terms of literacy.

Now a charity project in London is managing to narrow the divide.

Called The Doorstep Library, teams of volunteers take books

to children on disadvantaged estates, to encourage

It's working so well, the charity wants to expand.

Lesley Ashmall spent the day with the volunteers.

Once upon a time there were some children who didn't have any books.

But then some strangers came knocking on their doors

We are Doorstep Library and we are a charity in West London

that takes books to children living in disadvantaged areas to inspire

a love of reading and show children that books are an enjoyable

Armed with second-hand and newly bought books,

volunteers spend their evenings in poorer areas

encouraging parents and children to read.

And they are seeing remarkable results.

I like books because they let you read properly.

And has your reading improved since you started reading books?

I don't know why I'm going to say this but I can't read

You're reading this book, aren't you?

So you are learning to read with the pictures in the book?

Do you struggle with reading at school when other

Is it quite difficult when other

She was born with three holes in her heart so she's struggled

So, when they come and read to her now, it's brilliant.

She's gone up a level in her reading.

And her confidence has got so much more.

The same people come every Tuesday, and she enjoys it.

She sits at the door waiting for them now.

A recent Save The Children study showed that four out of ten children

from poorer areas can't read well when they go to secondary school.

But it is not always because of a lack of ambition.

It has not taken the charity long to convince parents

We visit the same families each week.

Because the parents build up trust, we start getting them

involved as well, and that's really our unique point,

You are a volunteer, Allyson.

You are one of many, there are about 50 of you.

The fact it is so informal with the families.

You can also over time see progress in the children.

It's such pleasure, pulling out of a rucksack something

The older girls are reading chapter books, but earlier chapter books,

Many of the families on this estate don't speak English as their first

language but that is not holding back the children.

That was a big tongue twister, wasn't it?

Do your teachers think you are good at reading now?

Then we went with frog who jumped up on a lily pad and jumped up

We should read because it helps you talk.

And that is what is called the good news story.

We've been reporting this morning that a third of the world's

population could be at risk from Zika virus.

It's the latest virus pandemic warning that's causing travellers

A study found that India, Indonesia and Nigeria are some

The first outbreak of the mosquito-borne disease was last

year in Brazil, and since then, it's spread to other parts

Researchers say it could be hard to prevent, detect

First let's get more on this from our health

Back to basics, remind everyone what zika is. It's a mosquito-borne virus

and scientists have known of zika for the best part of 70 years. When

you look at that, they know remarkably little about it. We are

on a steep learning curve and that's because it's only really come to

prominence as a public health concern in the last year or so

because we have started seeing a lot of cases in south and central

America, particularly in Brazil, and it's been linked to birth

abnormalities, particularly underdevelopment of the brain in

babies, the children of mothers who got Zika while pregnant. What the

scientific community is trying to do is obviously look at prevention,

find a vaccine, also look at cures, but also in the meantime look at

where populations are vulnerable, who is at risk and where are they?

What's what this Lancet paper has set out to do by doing some

modelling, it's looked at the flight plans and patterns of people flying

from Zika affected areas and it's looked at local populations, the

density of populations, the types of mosquitos that could be around to

carry the virus and on that basis have concluded in a worst case

scenario really it could be up to 2. 6 billion people who could be

vulnerable. So at an estimate? It's a serious

piece of science but it's a exercise and researchers have acknowledged

the weaknesses in their findings. There could be populations across

the world of either had Zika would've been undetected in the past

or had a similar virus which has given them immunity so they may not

be vulnerable in the way people fear. That isn't dangerous to people

who are not pregnant or wanting to get pregnant? If you and I got it,

we'd be OK? There are no symptoms for the great majority and those who

do develop symptoms normally get a rash, perhaps a headache and quickly

moves on. But the problem is for women who are pregnant and if they

develop Zika, of course the impact for their children in terms of their

brain development. There are some instances also of problems, a

disease called the Barry disease, nervous disorder, which can lead to

paralysis that's been a small number of cases. Adam, thank you. Let's

speak to some people in the studio. Here to talk about these finding

is Dr Adam Kucharski, who researches Infectious Diseases

at the London School of Hygiene And Dr Richard Dawood -

the director of a travel clinic which advise patients

travelling to these areas. Adam, first of all, if this kind of

research helpful for people travelling around? Will it benefit

people as they move around? Really, the main target of this research is

health agencies. There's a lot of uncertainty at the moment about Zika

in South America, recently in Miami and Singapore, and about where

potentially it might go next so although this isn't saying they will

be outbreaks in these areas, this potentially a lot of people at risk

and agencies need to plan. For travellers, the main message is that

this is a problem which needs to be monitored so if you are panning to

go travelling and you are pregnant, looking to conceive, you should get

advice on the areas you are going to, are they potentially having
