:00:00. > :00:14.I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme.

:00:15. > :00:20.A zookeeper killed by a tiger in Cambridgeshire has been described as

:00:21. > :00:24.the shining light of the park. Rosa King 's attack at Hamerton Zoo

:00:25. > :00:27.yesterday. This was her speaking a year ago.

:00:28. > :00:30.We do a lot of work for conservation, a lot of breeding

:00:31. > :00:33.to try and save the species, just like the Malayan tiger here -

:00:34. > :00:36.there's only about 300 left in the wild and they're being poached.

:00:37. > :00:39.Before 10, we'll speak to an eyewitness

:00:40. > :00:46.who was there with his family when it happened.

:00:47. > :00:49.Plus - we'll talk to a surgeon who treated dozens of seriously

:00:50. > :00:50.wounded patients after the Manchester terror attacks

:00:51. > :00:56.That's a very good question - a lot of people are

:00:57. > :01:01.I'm not very married at the moment, let's put it like that.

:01:02. > :01:14.Well, it's good to get to know each other's status before

:01:15. > :01:17.I think separated is my legal status.

:01:18. > :01:19.That full lunch date with newly separated Ukip-er Nigel Farage

:01:20. > :01:31.and journalist Rachel Johnson in the next few minutes.

:01:32. > :01:36.Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning.

:01:37. > :01:40.A little later, we'll try and find out what's

:01:41. > :01:43.going on with golfer Tiger Woods, who's been arrested for driving

:01:44. > :01:45.under the influence seven years after he began to try

:01:46. > :01:49.and repair his public image after those multiple affairs.

:01:50. > :01:52.Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning -

:01:53. > :01:55.use the hashtag Victoria live and if you text, you will be charged

:01:56. > :02:00.A zoo in Cambridgeshire will remain closed while an investigation

:02:01. > :02:03.continues into the circumstances surrounding the killing of a keeper

:02:04. > :02:08.Rosa King, who was 33, died yesterday at Hamerton Zoo

:02:09. > :02:16.Mauled to death by one of the park's tigers.

:02:17. > :02:19.Police say the female zoo keeper, who has been named locally

:02:20. > :02:22.as Rosa King, was killed inside the animal enclosure.

:02:23. > :02:26.It's not known yet exactly what happened.

:02:27. > :02:30.Busy with Bank Holiday visitors, several people posted photographs

:02:31. > :02:35.Those in the park were led away, although some claimed

:02:36. > :02:38.they were allowed back in for a short period before

:02:39. > :02:41.the park was closed by zoo officials who later handed out a short

:02:42. > :03:06.Nine years ago, a cheetah escaped through a broken electric fence,

:03:07. > :03:10.It was later recaptured nearby and no-one was hurt.

:03:11. > :03:12.Police say there are no suspicious circumstances and a full

:03:13. > :03:15.The zoo says it will remain closed today.

:03:16. > :03:27.Ben Ando is at Hamerton Zoo Park with the latest.

:03:28. > :03:33.Staff have been arriving for work in sombre mood. They are obviously too

:03:34. > :03:38.distressed to talk publicly about what happened. There is an

:03:39. > :03:42.investigation under way. Yesterday, the police were here all day. At the

:03:43. > :03:45.end of the day, they said there were no suspicious circumstances

:03:46. > :03:50.surrounding what happened to Rosa King. But of course, the zoo will

:03:51. > :03:53.have some serious questions to ask about how she came to be in the

:03:54. > :03:59.enclosure with the tiger that mauled her to death. She has been described

:04:00. > :04:04.by friends as a shining light here, someone who in some ways, the park

:04:05. > :04:09.revolved around and someone who cared passionately about the animals

:04:10. > :04:13.in her care, with an affinity in particular for cheetahs, but for all

:04:14. > :04:24.big cats as well. While the investigation is going on, the part

:04:25. > :04:25.remains closed. We will talk to an eyewitness who was at the zoo when

:04:26. > :04:26.the attack happened later. Joanna is in the BBC

:04:27. > :04:31.Newsroom with a summary Manchester Victoria Station has

:04:32. > :04:35.reopened this morning after it was damaged in last

:04:36. > :04:37.week's bomb attack. Last night, hundreds of people

:04:38. > :04:39.gathered for a vigil at St Ann's Square to mark exactly

:04:40. > :04:42.one week since 22 people were killed by a suicide bomber

:04:43. > :04:44.at the Manchester Arena. Our correspondent Frankie McCamley

:04:45. > :04:56.is in Manchester for us now. Joanne, if you can see behind me,

:04:57. > :05:00.people are starting to come and go from Manchester Victoria Station.

:05:01. > :05:05.This city is now returning to some form of normality, but part of the

:05:06. > :05:08.station do still remain closed. The section that connects the station to

:05:09. > :05:15.the arena where Ariana Grande was performing when that bomb went off.

:05:16. > :05:18.Staff have also been arriving. Those staff members turned into first

:05:19. > :05:23.responders when they were the first people on the scene trying to help

:05:24. > :05:28.the walking wounded and help people who have been badly hurt in the

:05:29. > :05:30.attack. Last night, a vigil took place, a minute's silence marking

:05:31. > :05:37.the exact moment that the bomb went off a week ago. Police have also

:05:38. > :05:42.released a still of Salman Abedi, the man who set off this bomb last

:05:43. > :05:45.Monday. They are looking for a blue suitcase he was carrying in the

:05:46. > :05:55.hours leading up to that attack. With just over a week to go until

:05:56. > :05:58.the general election, Theresa May will today turn the focus of the

:05:59. > :06:02.Conservatives' campaign towards Brexit. Jeremy Corbyn will campaign

:06:03. > :06:05.on the issue of childcare as Labour seeks to turn the spotlight on

:06:06. > :06:07.public services. Last night, they both faced questions in a live

:06:08. > :06:09.television broadcast. This was the first time Theresa May

:06:10. > :06:12.and Jeremy Corbyn had appeared at the same venue in front

:06:13. > :06:18.of the same audience for a grilling in front of the cameras

:06:19. > :06:21.since the election was called. The Labour Leader had wanted

:06:22. > :06:23.to debate with the Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn was the first

:06:24. > :06:30.to face the audience, the order decided by the toss

:06:31. > :06:32.of a coin. He was asked about his determination

:06:33. > :06:35.to deal with terror threats. He was also asked about his

:06:36. > :06:39.approach to business. This country is badly divided

:06:40. > :06:44.between the richest and the poorest. You put corporate tax and tax

:06:45. > :06:47.at the top end down, Are you happy that so many of our

:06:48. > :06:52.children are going to school So many of our children

:06:53. > :06:57.are going to school hungry. Next, it was Theresa May's turn

:06:58. > :07:03.and she faced questions over So why, Prime Minister, should

:07:04. > :07:07.we and my generation vote for you? So what happens is, people

:07:08. > :07:14.are paying for care, people are finding that they are having

:07:15. > :07:17.to sell their house, many people are having

:07:18. > :07:19.to sell their house to pay those care bills and many find that

:07:20. > :07:22.they're not able to leave Now, I want to take those risks away

:07:23. > :07:27.and that's what the proposals I've It's about ensuring that nobody

:07:28. > :07:31.is going to have to sell their house Afterwards, it was clear

:07:32. > :07:36.neither leader had landed The grilling has just ended

:07:37. > :07:44.and senior politicians from the political parties are out

:07:45. > :07:47.giving their own slant I think Team Corbyn and Team May

:07:48. > :07:58.will both be pretty pleased. The two people wanting to be

:07:59. > :08:01.Prime Minister after June 8th will have another chance

:08:02. > :08:03.to make their case at a BBC Tiger Woods has denied he'd been

:08:04. > :08:09.drinking when he was stopped whilst driving his car

:08:10. > :08:12.in Florida yesterday morning. Police charged him with being under

:08:13. > :08:15.the influence of alcohol - but the golfer has blamed

:08:16. > :08:17.an unexpected reaction to some Prince Harry will attend the launch

:08:18. > :08:23.of the UK's Invictus Games team and host his first

:08:24. > :08:25.Buckingham Palace garden party. The Prince will meet

:08:26. > :08:27.the 90-strong team, who will take on the challenge

:08:28. > :08:30.of the Paralympic-style competition He's been the driving force behind

:08:31. > :08:34.the Invictus Games for injured, wounded and sick servicemen

:08:35. > :08:39.and women and veterans. That's a summary of the latest BBC

:08:40. > :08:54.News - more at 9.30. Coming up in six minutes, the first

:08:55. > :08:58.in our series of election blind dates, where we bring two people

:08:59. > :09:05.with opposing political views together on a blind date over lunch

:09:06. > :09:08.and they see if there are any areas where they agreed, or sparks

:09:09. > :09:14.generally fly. What happens when they have a glass of wine or two?

:09:15. > :09:19.Today, Nigel Farage and Rachel Johnson. She's a journalist. She has

:09:20. > :09:22.a famous brother. Lily tweets if this isn't a joke, I am completely

:09:23. > :09:24.speechless. It's coming up in five minutes.

:09:25. > :09:27.Do get in touch with us throughout the morning -

:09:28. > :09:30.use the hashtag Victoria live and if you text, you will be charged

:09:31. > :09:40.Huddersfield Town are on a high after what happened yesterday. What

:09:41. > :09:44.can we expect from them in the Premier League? That's right, it has

:09:45. > :09:49.been a bit of a sporting soap opera. It is the story of this little-known

:09:50. > :09:52.German manager named David Wagner, who lead a squad of relatively

:09:53. > :09:57.unknown players to the richest league in the world. This has been a

:09:58. > :10:01.fairy tale for fans. This is a team that have been waiting 45 years to

:10:02. > :10:06.return to top-flight football. In the end, it took more than 113

:10:07. > :10:10.minutes of football, ending in a dramatic penalty shoot out against

:10:11. > :10:17.Reading. It was Christopher Schindler scored the decisive

:10:18. > :10:21.penalty. It certainly will not be easy for Huddersfield Town in the

:10:22. > :10:24.Premier League. The constant pressure of relegation is something

:10:25. > :10:28.they will have to get used to, but it is worth keeping an eye on David

:10:29. > :10:32.Wagner, a German manager and former assistant to Liverpool manager

:10:33. > :10:38.Jurgen Klopp. He was best man at his wedding. He has a meticulous eye for

:10:39. > :10:42.detail. We have seen him exploiting the foreign markets with signings

:10:43. > :10:45.like Christopher Schindler. It will be interesting to see how he

:10:46. > :10:51.develops his existing formula in the Premier League in August.

:10:52. > :10:55.Now, Arsene Wenger. We might hear more about his future today. Is he

:10:56. > :11:01.going to get another contract at Arsenal? That is the question. We do

:11:02. > :11:05.know that Arsene Wenger held a meeting with the owner Stan Kroenke

:11:06. > :11:08.yesterday. The outcome remains unclear but the decision will be

:11:09. > :11:12.relayed to directors at a board meeting later today. Wenger has of

:11:13. > :11:15.course faced unprecedented criticism throughout this season, which ended

:11:16. > :11:19.with the gunners finishing outside the top four for the first time in

:11:20. > :11:24.20 years. But they did manage to beat Chelsea on Saturday to win the

:11:25. > :11:28.FA Cup, which did make Wenger the most successful manager in the

:11:29. > :11:32.competition's history. His departure would cause some disruption, but

:11:33. > :11:38.things should be clearer later, when Arsenal release a statement and an

:11:39. > :11:42.interview with Wenger tomorrow. Britain's sailors, led by Sir Ben

:11:43. > :11:45.Ainslie, are quite behind the Americas cup qualifying. Can they

:11:46. > :11:50.come back? It is already the halfway stage of this double round

:11:51. > :11:57.qualifying series and as you say, Ben Ainslie and his team are fourth

:11:58. > :12:01.-- have a fourth consecutive defeat yesterday, beaten by France. That

:12:02. > :12:08.was certainly not in the script. It means Great Britain slipped down to

:12:09. > :12:12.the third place in the table. They will be hoping to avoid an early

:12:13. > :12:16.trip home. After the race, Ben Ainslie went on Twitter to admit it

:12:17. > :12:21.wasn't the finest race, but it is time to hunker down, regroup and

:12:22. > :12:27.come back fighting. They desperately need a win now. It is not out of the

:12:28. > :12:35.question when you think back to 2013, when Ben Ainslie on Bottas

:12:36. > :12:39.technician came back from a deficit to claim victory. Today, they will

:12:40. > :12:43.face Sweden. That is the one thing they have beaten. But the Swedish

:12:44. > :12:47.crew have stepped up their game since losing to GB on Saturday, so

:12:48. > :12:50.they will have a fight on their hands. But unless they solve those

:12:51. > :12:55.speed issues, the British team will be facing an early exit. More from

:12:56. > :12:57.Holly throughout the morning when it comes to sport.

:12:58. > :13:03.Over the next few days, we'll be bringing you a blind lunch date

:13:04. > :13:09.between two politicians with very different views

:13:10. > :13:15.First in the series, journalist Rachel Johnson -

:13:16. > :13:18.who joined the Lib Dems because she wants the UK

:13:19. > :13:25.to stay in the EU - went for a blind date with former

:13:26. > :13:28.Ukip leader Nigel Farage at his private members' club.

:13:29. > :13:30.Neither knew who they were meeting in advance -

:13:31. > :13:32.but newly separated Nigel Farage told us he was rather

:13:33. > :13:34.hoping it would be Boris Johnson's sister,

:13:35. > :13:40.So this is how they got on - and a warning - there is some

:13:41. > :13:51.There is an election on, and people are talking politics.

:13:52. > :13:56.So what happens when you send two people

:13:57. > :14:05.I'm nervous, my God, I have not done this for so long!

:14:06. > :14:15.We will see people that choose to sign on and it angers me.

:14:16. > :14:19.You look gloriously distinguished, slightly hunky.

:14:20. > :14:28.When people stand at the dispatch box and

:14:29. > :14:31.tell me there is more money in education, I wonder where it has

:14:32. > :14:34.gone, because it is not in my children's school.

:14:35. > :15:03.I've got to admit that they think of me

:15:04. > :15:04.as sister of Boris, which is annoying,

:15:05. > :15:13.I joined the Tories, but only for a few years.

:15:14. > :15:18.I am very concerned that we don't

:15:19. > :15:24.willy-nilly in terms of Brexit,

:15:25. > :15:26.because I am thinking about my children and grandchildren,

:15:27. > :15:33.waiting for grandchildren, not long now, I hope!

:15:34. > :15:35.I was anxious it was going to be Michael Gove.

:15:36. > :15:37.It could be possibly Douglas Carswell, he

:15:38. > :15:40.regards me with utter disdain, so that could be interesting.

:15:41. > :15:43.It would be great fun if it was Nigel Farage,

:15:44. > :15:53.but he will drink me under the table.

:15:54. > :15:58.I have got to play a tennis match after lunch!

:15:59. > :16:01.I am Nigel Farage, I was in business for 20 years, I was

:16:02. > :16:05.never involved in politics at all, so I gave up quite a normal life to

:16:06. > :16:07.dedicate myself to what was considered to be fringe politics,

:16:08. > :16:17.What I do know is I am meeting a fanatical Remainer, I know it

:16:18. > :16:19.is a woman, I hope she likes a drink!

:16:20. > :16:44.Before we get into your date, tell us what you

:16:45. > :16:47.think of this man from what you know of him.

:16:48. > :16:54.The problem with Nigel is he is impossible not to adore!

:16:55. > :16:58.destroyed the country, turned the Tory party into Conkip

:16:59. > :17:06.Nigel Farage, what do you think of Rachel Johnson?

:17:07. > :17:14.Clearly deluded on this issue, but over a glass of something we

:17:15. > :17:22.That is a very good question, a lot of

:17:23. > :17:26.I am not very married at the moment, let's put it like that.

:17:27. > :17:35.It is good to get to know each other's status.

:17:36. > :17:47.I don't think anything would have survived what I have been doing

:17:48. > :17:52.Not that I have been perfect, I am not, but it

:17:53. > :18:02.Are you talking about work and infidelity?

:18:03. > :18:11.The sheer nastiness and aggro that comes with this, the

:18:12. > :18:13.whole hard left movement are now the Remainders.

:18:14. > :18:23.That is not the reason for your marriage breakdown.

:18:24. > :18:36.No help from the police, no help from the state,

:18:37. > :18:38.nothing, so you literally never go out.

:18:39. > :18:50.I have a theory, I don't think people cared

:18:51. > :18:52.about Project Fear, I don't think people

:18:53. > :18:53.care that the Eurozone will

:18:54. > :18:57.boom and we are going to go off a cliff.

:18:58. > :19:00.It has become an ideology, and all they want is to say, we have

:19:01. > :19:03.got our country back, without caring what that means.

:19:04. > :19:06.The ideology is to lie to two dozen countries in

:19:07. > :19:09.Europe, to tell them they are joining an economic club, and then

:19:10. > :19:12.bit by bit to take away their democracy and independence.

:19:13. > :19:14.That is the ideology, the flag, the anthem,

:19:15. > :19:21.You are talking about democracy, why can't

:19:22. > :19:25.Parliament have a proper look at the eventual deal?

:19:26. > :19:27.Because Parliament subcontracted it to the British

:19:28. > :19:32.We have a parliamentary democracy, this is not

:19:33. > :19:48.From where I sat, before we had Brexit, we were not in

:19:49. > :19:52.Schengen, we were not in the Euro, we were not in the social chapter,

:19:53. > :19:57.The good things were the bits we were not in.

:19:58. > :20:17.I think he may have gone to the gents.

:20:18. > :20:21.Do you think I have upset him already?

:20:22. > :20:35.Send a search party for Nigel Farage.

:20:36. > :20:48.Considering that you are on opposite sides of

:20:49. > :21:03.the EU argument, this is a bit of a love in.

:21:04. > :21:12.It has always had this chemistry, cannot help it!

:21:13. > :21:16.There are lots of Remainers I like anyway.

:21:17. > :21:18.What I cannot stand are politicians who have been so

:21:19. > :21:21.dishonest about the subject all the way through the years.

:21:22. > :21:26.The people who used to masquerade as Eurosceptics at

:21:27. > :21:35.The referendum sorted people out in the end.

:21:36. > :21:43.I could not help overhearing your conversation about potentially

:21:44. > :21:45.thinking about standing for the European Parliament if Britain is

:21:46. > :21:47.not out of the European Union by 2019.

:21:48. > :21:50.If this confirmation that you are both

:21:51. > :21:54.Unless I can find myself a seat somewhere else.

:21:55. > :21:58.You would fancy a seat in this country at Westminster?

:21:59. > :22:00.You have tried to be an MP seven times.

:22:01. > :22:22.I was not in politics for that, I was in politics to try to change

:22:23. > :22:27.What would your brother think of this

:22:28. > :22:45.What does your brother think of you joining

:22:46. > :22:49.He takes a very dim view, but I have reassured

:22:50. > :22:53.him that for me it is a single issue decision, and it is for this

:22:54. > :22:56.I reserve my right to do whatever I like in perpetuity,

:22:57. > :23:02.I can have a different political opinion.

:23:03. > :23:18.YouGov says 45% want Brexit at any price.

:23:19. > :23:23.Walk away tomorrow, two fingers up, go.

:23:24. > :23:27.That is a problem, it is like vandalism.

:23:28. > :23:34.23% want Brexit to happen but with a good deal.

:23:35. > :23:47.What I don't understand is what is so good about

:23:48. > :23:57.Why do you feel so strongly about it?

:23:58. > :24:07.Leaving aside what is good about it, the fact we

:24:08. > :24:13.have had peace and security and prosperity...

:24:14. > :24:15.But that there are lots of reasons for that.

:24:16. > :24:18.One of them is we are part of the EU, it has kept

:24:19. > :24:21.Are you saying the Germans would have invaded again?

:24:22. > :24:25.Because of the EU, the Germans have been a real force for

:24:26. > :24:27.stability in Europe and an engine of growth.

:24:28. > :24:30.Can we talk about something else now?

:24:31. > :25:04.I must ask if the story about you snogging

:25:05. > :25:14.A page-three model would have been OK!

:25:15. > :25:17.What was she doing in business class?

:25:18. > :25:34.You can't trust anybody, talk to anybody.

:25:35. > :25:45.There I was, sitting at the bar having

:25:46. > :25:47.dinner, somebody starts talking to you, what are you going to do?

:25:48. > :26:00.You need a nice, steady Brexiter girlfriend, because then

:26:01. > :26:03.you don't have to have the conversation with her all the time.

:26:04. > :26:07.Like what you said to me, "I don't understand why do you feel so

:26:08. > :26:11.You should be exchanging sweet nothings, you know you are

:26:12. > :26:15.both on the same page, you both want out.

:26:16. > :26:22.I still don't get why you feel so strongly.

:26:23. > :26:25.I grew up in Brussels, I worked in Brussels.

:26:26. > :26:33.Do you want a United States of Europe?

:26:34. > :26:36.I liked what we had, I don't want to lose it.

:26:37. > :26:38.Cameron did as much to lose the referendum as anybody else.

:26:39. > :26:42.The deal was not good enough, so I almost

:26:43. > :26:44.entirely hold him responsible, more than you.

:26:45. > :26:51.Then when we went over the waterfall in a

:26:52. > :26:54.bucket, he left Downing Street with a song in his heart.

:26:55. > :27:16.Over the last 20 years, not much, which is why I am

:27:17. > :27:20.It is sad your private life has fallen apart,

:27:21. > :27:28.but you have done it for a noble cause.

:27:29. > :27:35.You are Nigel Farage, that is the problem.

:27:36. > :27:50.You will be fine, you cannot complain, you have

:27:51. > :27:54.Douglas Carswell is fantastically smug about what has

:27:55. > :28:00.He is one of the unhappiest people I have ever met.

:28:01. > :28:13.He does not have your ability to connect with people.

:28:14. > :28:30.The other big hobby which I have got, which used

:28:31. > :29:08.What should I do with the rest of my life?

:29:09. > :29:14.I think I am swimming against the tide

:29:15. > :29:20.You will lose this one completely, but that is OK,

:29:21. > :29:27.I wonder if I have made a terrible mistake.

:29:28. > :29:32.It does not matter I am the butt of ridicule

:29:33. > :29:34.from half the Cabinet for

:29:35. > :29:46.I was asking Nigel what I should do with the rest of my life.

:29:47. > :29:53.Have I destroyed any hope of any serious future?

:29:54. > :30:03.How would you sum up your political first date?

:30:04. > :30:07.It is interesting, because Rachel is seen in this

:30:08. > :30:10.country as being a hardline Remainer,

:30:11. > :30:13.but when you talk to her, she would

:30:14. > :30:22.Had she told me that she supports a United States of

:30:23. > :30:24.Europe and everything else, I would have been

:30:25. > :30:25.able to understand why she

:30:26. > :30:32.Do you think you have sacrificed your

:30:33. > :30:40.I felt that as we were entering a one-party state on an issue

:30:41. > :30:43.I believe to be wrong in every particular...

:30:44. > :30:45.I felt I could not live with myself unless I made a

:30:46. > :31:09.futile gesture and stood up to be counted, if only to be shot down.

:31:10. > :31:11.How would you sum up your date with Nigel Farage?

:31:12. > :31:12.Incredibly entertaining and infuriating.

:31:13. > :31:20.I have gone from a Eurosceptic in France to

:31:21. > :31:32.We can't afford a European army, but apart from that...

:31:33. > :31:37.There is no point joining the Lib Dems.

:31:38. > :31:39.In ten years, we will see whether it has been the

:31:40. > :31:43.great success that you hoped for, and I hope for too, as I want things

:31:44. > :31:47.In ten years, the EU will not exist anyway, so it will be a

:31:48. > :32:16.On Twitter, they say this blind date is brilliant. Another says blind

:32:17. > :32:20.date was a brilliant idea. Sean says there was definitely chemistry

:32:21. > :32:23.there. Lily says this is vomit inducing, not newsworthy, giving

:32:24. > :32:29.airtime to Farage yet again. He is irrelevant. And Conrad says stop

:32:30. > :32:32.trying to normalise this divisive and hateful prat. Tomorrow, will

:32:33. > :32:37.have the next one. What happened when Made

:32:38. > :32:39.in Chelsea's Georgia Toffolo, better known as Toff,

:32:40. > :32:41.met austerity campaigner and cook Later in the week, we'll bring

:32:42. > :32:48.you dates between Labour MP Jess Phillips and Conservative MP

:32:49. > :32:50.John Whittingdale, historian Mary Beard and Peter Stringfellow

:32:51. > :32:55.who runs a lapdancing club, Gina Miller, who led the Brexit

:32:56. > :33:02.court case against the government and Godfrey Bloom, a former

:33:03. > :33:04.Ukip politician and SNP politician Tommy Sheppard

:33:05. > :33:10.and comedian Stuart Mitchell. Still to come, the SNP will be

:33:11. > :33:14.launching their general election manifesto later this morning. We

:33:15. > :33:17.will talk to one of their senior politicians before 11. And we will

:33:18. > :33:21.try and find out what is going on with Tiger Woods. The golfer has

:33:22. > :33:22.been arrested for driving under the influence, but says alcohol was not

:33:23. > :33:25.involved. Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom

:33:26. > :33:28.with a summary of today's news. A zookeeper who died after a tiger

:33:29. > :33:32.entered an enclosure at a wildlife park in Cambridgeshire has been

:33:33. > :33:36.named as 33-year-old Rosa King. Hamerton Zoo Park in

:33:37. > :33:38.Cambridgeshire will remain closed while an investigation continues

:33:39. > :33:43.into the incident. Manchester Victoria Station has

:33:44. > :33:45.reopened this morning after it was damaged in last

:33:46. > :33:49.week's bomb attack. Last night, hundreds of people

:33:50. > :33:52.gathered for a vigil at St Ann's Square to mark exactly

:33:53. > :33:55.one week since 22 people were killed by a suicide bomber

:33:56. > :34:00.at the Manchester Arena. With just over a week to go

:34:01. > :34:02.until the general election, the Conservatives are focusing

:34:03. > :34:07.on Brexit while Labour focus Last night, the leaders of both

:34:08. > :34:10.parties faced questions Theresa May was questioned by Jeremy

:34:11. > :34:14.Paxman on her stance on Brexit. We gave people the choice,

:34:15. > :34:24.Jeremy, and the British people decided to leave

:34:25. > :34:26.the European Union and I think it's important for them

:34:27. > :34:29.to see their politicians delivering on that choice and

:34:30. > :34:43.respecting the will of the people. Jeremy Corbyn was questioned about

:34:44. > :34:45.his views on drone strikes and Northern Ireland. The Labour leader

:34:46. > :34:48.had offended his stance on corporation tax.

:34:49. > :34:51.This country is badly divided between the richest and the poorest.

:34:52. > :34:54.You put corporate tax and tax at the top end down,

:34:55. > :35:02.Are you happy that so many of our children are going to school

:35:03. > :35:08.So many of our children are going to school hungry?

:35:09. > :35:10.British Airways says it will operate a full schedule at Heathrow

:35:11. > :35:13.and Gatwick today for the first time since the computer failure

:35:14. > :35:17.on Saturday disrupted flights around the world.

:35:18. > :35:19.The airline says its IT systems are now "back up

:35:20. > :35:21.and running" but "significant numbers" of passengers

:35:22. > :35:24.are still without their luggage, which could take some time

:35:25. > :35:34.That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10am.

:35:35. > :35:40.This is just in from the mother of Rosa King, the zookeeper who was

:35:41. > :35:45.killed by a tiger at Hamerton Park Zoo. She has paid tribute to her

:35:46. > :35:48.daughter honour saying of her dedication to her job, she wouldn't

:35:49. > :35:54.have done anything else. It is what she has always done. It is what she

:35:55. > :35:59.has always loved. That is from Rosa King's mum, Andrea King. We will

:36:00. > :36:05.talk to a family member who was at the zoo yesterday when that tragedy

:36:06. > :36:12.unfolded. Let's bring you the sport now. Holly is back. Coming up this

:36:13. > :36:15.hour, it was the ?170 million match that means Huddersfield are in the

:36:16. > :36:19.Premier League for the first time. They beat Reading in a dramatic

:36:20. > :36:22.penalty shoot out to win the championship play-off final

:36:23. > :36:28.yesterday. And in or out - Arsene Wenger's

:36:29. > :36:31.future could become clearer later. Following crucial talks with

:36:32. > :36:35.majority shareholder Stan Kroenke, club directors are expected to find

:36:36. > :36:38.out whether he will be staying at the club.

:36:39. > :36:43.Great Britain's sailors, led by Sir Ben Ainslie, need to come from

:36:44. > :36:47.behind in Americas cup qualifying. They are four down after losing

:36:48. > :36:51.against France and now take on the other five teams again over the next

:36:52. > :36:53.few days, starting against Sweden today.

:36:54. > :36:59.And Andy Murray starts his French Open later. The world number one

:37:00. > :37:00.plays Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov. All that and more coming up at ten

:37:01. > :37:02.o'clock. The people of Manchester paid

:37:03. > :37:05.an emotional tribute last night to those who died in the bombing

:37:06. > :37:40.exactly one week ago. Police investigating

:37:41. > :37:42.the bombing have been searching a rubbish tip

:37:43. > :37:44.on the outskirts of Bury. The city's Victoria train

:37:45. > :37:46.station reopened at 5am. It's been closed since

:37:47. > :37:52.last week's blast. We can speak to two of those people

:37:53. > :37:55.whose courage and determination Lianne Shutt saved a stranger

:37:56. > :38:04.with life-threatening injuries - she's in Salford -

:38:05. > :38:08.and Zaf Naqui, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Salford Royal

:38:09. > :38:24.NHS Foundation Trust who treated Lianne, once the attack had

:38:25. > :38:29.happened, you helped your daughter and husband leave, but you returned

:38:30. > :38:34.to help a dad and his daughter. Tell us what you saw. Yes, on Monday

:38:35. > :38:40.evening when leaving the concourse in Manchester Arena, I came across a

:38:41. > :38:50.gentleman and his daughter who was very distressed. I pulled them both

:38:51. > :38:57.to safety on a road facing the main entrance of the MEN. An instinct

:38:58. > :39:07.kicked in and I started to treat the wounds that he had. And what sort of

:39:08. > :39:12.injuries were you helping with? There were several casualties this

:39:13. > :39:18.evening, and the injuries were horrific. Mostly shrapnel wounds.

:39:19. > :39:23.You ended up driving this dad and his daughter at high speed to the

:39:24. > :39:26.hospital. Some have reported it as being 100 miles an hour. I am not

:39:27. > :39:35.sure if that is accurate. Definitely not. I drove there as fast and as

:39:36. > :39:41.safe as possible, given the circumstances with a casualty in the

:39:42. > :39:47.car. And what were you thinking when you were on that journey? It was

:39:48. > :39:55.just instinct to get the gentleman and his daughter, myself and my

:39:56. > :40:02.husband to the nearest hospital and had him treated as soon as possible.

:40:03. > :40:07.Clearly, the ambulances hadn't got to the exit you were at, is that

:40:08. > :40:10.right? Yeah, I believe they were otherwise engaged at the other side

:40:11. > :40:17.of the arena and time seemed to move so fast. We just needed to get these

:40:18. > :40:24.casualties away on the seen and treated. Let me bring in Zaf, a

:40:25. > :40:30.surgeon who volunteered to help in the hours after the Manchester

:40:31. > :40:35.attack. The information you will talk about may upset some people, so

:40:36. > :40:39.I wanted to let people know that. You went into work at 6am, because

:40:40. > :40:46.that was when you new colleagues would have started to get tired.

:40:47. > :40:52.Tell us what you faced when you arrived? First of all, our sympathy

:40:53. > :41:03.and thoughts are still with all the relatives and victims. I had been

:41:04. > :41:06.alerted overnight by a friend in Los Angeles, who said a bomb had gone

:41:07. > :41:15.off. That was the first I knew about it and I had spoken to our on-call

:41:16. > :41:20.team who went in. It rapidly became clear that this was not going to be

:41:21. > :41:23.something we could deal with just overnight, so we decided to stagger

:41:24. > :41:29.our entry into the hospital to relieve other surgeons. So as part

:41:30. > :41:35.of the orthopaedic team, we went in and looked at all the injuries we

:41:36. > :41:41.had on our watch and worked out how best to treat them in terms of the

:41:42. > :41:47.number of staff we had a the number of theatres and what those patients

:41:48. > :41:52.required. At Salford royal, we are a major trauma centre. So we received

:41:53. > :41:57.the most severe category of injured patients. This meant that the

:41:58. > :42:03.injuries involve all parts of the body. We had to work with other

:42:04. > :42:09.surgeons on these patients in multiple theatres at the same time.

:42:10. > :42:21.And you could see the impact of the metal bolts that were embedded in

:42:22. > :42:27.people? Yes. The metal bolts were embedded throughout, unfortunately

:42:28. > :42:33.from head to toe, in the brain, the head, face, neck, chest, abdomen,

:42:34. > :42:40.pelvis and all of the limbs. There was no part of the body among the

:42:41. > :42:47.group of patients that wasn't involved. Like I said, we had

:42:48. > :42:50.neurosurgeons, general surgeons, vascular surgeons, orthopaedic and

:42:51. > :42:58.trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, all working together

:42:59. > :43:00.for these patients. How do you reflect on the way that you and your

:43:01. > :43:10.colleagues worked together last week? A week on, there are two

:43:11. > :43:14.things that I have considered. Firstly, I am really proud of

:43:15. > :43:17.everyone at Salford Royal and I am sure it is the same in the other

:43:18. > :43:25.hospitals in Manchester, the way we somehow managed to coordinate and

:43:26. > :43:30.collaborate. It was like clockwork. If you consider several hundred

:43:31. > :43:36.people turning up at once, how we managed to organise ourselves is

:43:37. > :43:41.what saved lives, in my opinion. It was something I have ever seen. I

:43:42. > :43:47.have been a doctor for 20 years. It was incredible however one got to

:43:48. > :43:55.work. We had surgeons crisscrossing across the city. The way we managed

:43:56. > :44:04.to communicate and collaborate is probably what saved lives and limbs.

:44:05. > :44:15.That is the first thing. He was a group effort. As a group, the

:44:16. > :44:28.hospital treated dozens of patients and everyone made a contribution.

:44:29. > :44:31.The second thing, when I think about it, is that there has been such a

:44:32. > :44:42.great focus on the surgeons, of course. But actually, when I look

:44:43. > :44:47.back at the first 24 hours, the cleaners, the domestic staff, the

:44:48. > :44:51.caterers, the porters, people on switchboard, our junior doctors, our

:44:52. > :44:56.managers, they all contributed to enable the whole system to work. So

:44:57. > :45:00.in fact, as a simple example, how cleaners had turned up in the middle

:45:01. > :45:06.of the night. They were cleaning cubicles in A like nobody's

:45:07. > :45:09.business. All of these factors, the porters taking patients, contributed

:45:10. > :45:11.to lives being saved. They need to be recognised, because they helped

:45:12. > :45:23.tremendously. A monumental team effort, thank you,

:45:24. > :45:28.I was just wondering Leanne if you had been able to keep in touch with

:45:29. > :45:32.the person you drove to hospital? Yes, we have gained a great

:45:33. > :45:37.friendship which will last for life, I went to see him at hospital on

:45:38. > :45:45.Thursday and he is making a great recovery. That is good to hear,

:45:46. > :45:50.thank you for talking to us. Still to come on the programme, the SNP

:45:51. > :45:53.launch their general election manifesto at 11am, we will look at

:45:54. > :45:56.some of the things which might be included.

:45:57. > :45:58.An investigation's started into the death of a zoo

:45:59. > :46:00.keeper who was killed by a tiger in Cambridgeshire.

:46:01. > :46:03.Rosa King - who was 33 - died when the animal got

:46:04. > :46:07.into an area where she was working at Hamerton Zoo Park.

:46:08. > :46:10.Rosa's mother - Andrea - has been paying tribute

:46:11. > :46:14.to her daughter, saying that she wouldn't have done

:46:15. > :46:17.any other job and it was what she had always loved.

:46:18. > :46:22.Rosa spoke to the BBC last year and was asked what she thought

:46:23. > :46:33.about the view that keeping animals in zoos was cruel.

:46:34. > :46:37.My personal opinion is that it is not.

:46:38. > :46:40.We do a lot of work for conservation, a lot of breeding

:46:41. > :46:43.to try and save the species, just like the Malayan tiger here.

:46:44. > :46:46.There's only about 300 left in the wild, and they're being poached.

:46:47. > :46:51.We can work on increasing the numbers.

:46:52. > :47:01.We can speak to the wildlife expert from the one show, there must be

:47:02. > :47:07.strict protocol for working with animals like these, tell us about

:47:08. > :47:15.the rules which would be in place? First foremast I do not work for the

:47:16. > :47:22.zoo community, and my condolences to the family. I know a lot of

:47:23. > :47:24.zookeepers and work in a lot of zoological communities around the

:47:25. > :47:29.world and I know they are an incredibly passionate bunch and are

:47:30. > :47:33.very knowledgeable and they are mad keen on their animals. Some of the

:47:34. > :47:38.most knowledgeable I have ever met or zookeepers. I have worked on

:47:39. > :47:45.transporting tigers as part of a number of stories, we did a story

:47:46. > :47:49.where we transported a tiger to a Yorkshire wildlife park and I saw

:47:50. > :47:56.their first-hand how incredibly big and ferocious these animals are.

:47:57. > :48:00.Also the very safe precautions they stab go through when working with

:48:01. > :48:04.Tigers. First and foremost, zookeepers have told me that

:48:05. > :48:09.actually the safest job in a zoo is frequently working with big cats

:48:10. > :48:13.because the golden rule is you never go in with them, you have no

:48:14. > :48:18.interactions with them whatsoever. When I have worked in any of the

:48:19. > :48:23.movement of big cats around various zoos around Britain there is a

:48:24. > :48:28.double gate policy, two locked gates between you and the animals and you

:48:29. > :48:32.can only open one gate when the other is closed. I would not like to

:48:33. > :48:37.speculate on what happened but normally they are very, very safe

:48:38. > :48:44.animals to work with because of the strict protocols. Can I ask you more

:48:45. > :48:49.broadly about keeping big cats, Tigers, in what will be to them a

:48:50. > :48:56.very confined space and the stress it may put them under? The tiger is

:48:57. > :49:03.endangered according to the criteria is of how endangered animal is,

:49:04. > :49:09.something like just under 4000 left and they only exist in about 6% of

:49:10. > :49:15.their original territory worldwide. But even no bar are only 4000 in the

:49:16. > :49:20.wild there are something like 13,000 in captivity which is astonishing

:49:21. > :49:26.and the vast majority are held in responsible locations where they

:49:27. > :49:31.have protocols in place. But sometimes there can be a huge number

:49:32. > :49:35.held by individuals in less than ideal situations. So there are a

:49:36. > :49:39.huge number in captivity and I would say the vast majority are incredibly

:49:40. > :49:47.well looked after but this is an animal that covers huge areas,

:49:48. > :49:55.effectively alone, Tigers are not sociable animals like lions. They

:49:56. > :49:58.will frequently have territory, so obviously keeping them, an animal

:49:59. > :50:05.which may be captive bred and may know nothing about living in the

:50:06. > :50:08.wild, in a small area, is potentially, to some people

:50:09. > :50:13.unnatural. I personally think that zoos do great jobs in terms of

:50:14. > :50:18.preservation but you must know what you are doing with the animal and

:50:19. > :50:26.understand its psychology and how to enrich its life. Stay with us, I am

:50:27. > :50:32.going to bring in Stephen, his sister was killed in a tiger attack

:50:33. > :50:38.at the zoo in Cumbria in 2013, thank you for talking to us. Hello. I

:50:39. > :50:49.wonder how you respond to the death of Rosa King? I know what her family

:50:50. > :50:52.is going through right now. It's a rare, unusual situation to lose your

:50:53. > :51:00.life in and because of that it will be all over the news, as we are

:51:01. > :51:05.right now. My thoughts go out to the family, absolutely. Can you remind

:51:06. > :51:09.our audience what happened to your sister? She was in the tiger

:51:10. > :51:14.enclosure for her regular maintenance as part of her job and a

:51:15. > :51:18.system of doors that was supposed to keep the animal separate from her

:51:19. > :51:26.when she was in there did not work, was not maintained properly. It got

:51:27. > :51:33.in there and she lost her life. We don't know what has happened at the

:51:34. > :51:36.Hammerton Park zoo in Cambridge, an investigation is ongoing, they have

:51:37. > :51:42.said in a statement it was a freak accident. Well, that's obviously

:51:43. > :51:51.something else I thought of when I heard the news, when Sarah did four

:51:52. > :51:57.years back, before any investigation the zoo came out and said it must

:51:58. > :52:02.have been her fault. So it's comforting in some ways to cure this

:52:03. > :52:05.zoo claiming it is an accident and sending their thoughts to the

:52:06. > :52:17.family, that is a big difference between this one and when Sarah

:52:18. > :52:22.died. In the end of the zoo in Cumbria was fined because it did not

:52:23. > :52:28.properly assess the risks of a defective bolt on a door? Yes they

:52:29. > :52:32.were found guilty in court despite them trying to put the blame on

:52:33. > :52:43.Sarah initially. It was legally deemed to be their fault. You have

:52:44. > :52:47.said you think zoos do an incredible job because some of these big cats

:52:48. > :52:55.are endangered species but I wonder what impact it does have an animal

:52:56. > :53:00.when it is in captivity? The fact of the matter is that a lot of

:53:01. > :53:07.organisations are trying to breed tigers, there is. Tigers may well

:53:08. > :53:11.be, zoos may well be the saviours of tigers if the habitat destruction

:53:12. > :53:15.and the poaching continues. There has been good news of tigers in the

:53:16. > :53:24.wild, in the last year or so the population in the wild seems to have

:53:25. > :53:29.slightly increased. I think the more zoos can do in terms of education,

:53:30. > :53:34.the days of taking a tiger from the wild and putting it into the zoo is

:53:35. > :53:38.long gone, these are all captive bred animals who have never known

:53:39. > :53:41.anything other than being in a captive location so I think they

:53:42. > :53:45.serve an enormously important function. I just hope there is not

:53:46. > :53:51.an immediate reaction and people realise this is a majestic wonderful

:53:52. > :53:59.animal worth conserving and worth visiting, if you are not lucky

:54:00. > :54:04.enough to go out to Russia or India to try and spot one of these animals

:54:05. > :54:09.in the wild. Thank you, I think we can talk to someone at the zoo with

:54:10. > :54:15.his family when it happened, Pete Davies, can you hear me? Hello.

:54:16. > :54:22.Thank you, tell us what happened from your point of view? We were on

:54:23. > :54:28.a normal family day out, first time visiting the zoo, got there at 10am

:54:29. > :54:35.when it opened and got around to the whole zoo, ending up at the tiger

:54:36. > :54:40.enclosure which was about ten past 11, there was a guy in front of us

:54:41. > :54:44.taking photographs all the way around, we were in one part where

:54:45. > :54:49.the lines were and he was in the park next to us and he came running

:54:50. > :54:53.past as fast as he could and we thought something was going on and

:54:54. > :55:00.he came back 30 seconds later with five, six zoo keepers. All of them

:55:01. > :55:12.running down. We heard a scream and then one of the zoo keepers shouted

:55:13. > :55:15.for us to run. We went to a small office, the whole family inside the

:55:16. > :55:20.office for about ten minutes with some other people, about eight of us

:55:21. > :55:28.altogether. We waited until it was clear to come out, they set tweet

:55:29. > :55:33.said come out, we were working our way up to the top and we were still

:55:34. > :55:40.watching what was going on, all the zoo keepers distressed, heads in

:55:41. > :55:45.their hands, a couple of them had buckets full of meat they were

:55:46. > :55:51.throwing over the enclosure. But yeah, we ended up just having to go,

:55:52. > :55:55.but that is bad for all the people that work there as well as the

:55:56. > :55:59.family because they are all young adults, or most of them are, and to

:56:00. > :56:05.witness something like that will live with them for a long time I

:56:06. > :56:07.would imagine. From what you have described, the initial feeling was

:56:08. > :56:15.potentially that there could have been a big cat that had escaped?

:56:16. > :56:19.Well when somebody tells you to run and you are at the end of a lion

:56:20. > :56:23.enclosure, tiger enclosure, you do what they say. But initially I did

:56:24. > :56:29.not think there was any animals outside. You just run and take cover

:56:30. > :56:33.and then gather your thoughts and then we realised nothing had

:56:34. > :56:41.escaped, it was all inside the enclosure. Yeah, initially, it is

:56:42. > :56:49.worrying when you hear that. Thank you very much. Pete Davies who was

:56:50. > :56:58.at the Hamerton Zoo Park when the attack happened. And thank you Mike,

:56:59. > :57:01.the wildlife expert from One Show. And thank you to Steve and his

:57:02. > :57:08.sister was killed at a tiger attack in a zoo in Cumbria in 2013. Coming

:57:09. > :57:11.up to 10am, the latest news and sport in a moment and the weather

:57:12. > :57:17.but before that thank you for your many messages about election blind

:57:18. > :57:21.dates. Barry says the best piece of coverage I have seen since the

:57:22. > :57:26.election was called, light-hearted fun, just what we need right now.

:57:27. > :57:34.Stevens says brilliant TV, more please. Chris says it is very

:57:35. > :57:39.enjoyable. John says it is funny, even when Nigel Farage is taking

:57:40. > :57:45.part, he comes across as smug, arrogant and vomit inducing. Another

:57:46. > :57:50.says something on the programme which makes Nigel Farage seem nice.

:57:51. > :57:55.Another saying the only problem was looking at and listening to Nigel

:57:56. > :57:59.Farage. Wayne said they were both incredibly charming and

:58:00. > :58:04.entertaining. Victoria a class act. I used to be a waitress in my

:58:05. > :58:08.teenage years at a restaurant in Rochdale so I have a lot of

:58:09. > :58:18.experience. Tomorrow find out what happened when Toff from Made In

:58:19. > :58:24.Chelsea met Jackman row. Time for the weather?

:58:25. > :58:33.A bit mild, lots of cloud around, the extent of the cloud on the

:58:34. > :58:40.satellite picture but also some breaks, in Worcestershire some

:58:41. > :58:45.sunshine, blue skies breaking through, I think the process will

:58:46. > :58:50.continue for many of us as we go to the afternoon, brighter skies and

:58:51. > :58:55.the odd shower here and there, particularly towards north-western

:58:56. > :59:02.parts of the UK. Cold front moving its way through Northern Ireland

:59:03. > :59:06.into Scotland, some fresher brighter conditions behind it, less humid

:59:07. > :59:13.than the last few days. Sunny spells in Northern Ireland. For Northern

:59:14. > :59:17.England shower is particularly across north-western part of

:59:18. > :59:20.England, towards the north-east something brighter, sunshine

:59:21. > :59:26.breaking through the cloud in central parts of Wales and inland

:59:27. > :59:32.parts of England. Temperatures getting up to 20, 21, maybe 22

:59:33. > :59:38.Celsius. Clear skies across the North will continue to spread south

:59:39. > :59:42.as it does so we will seek older air filtering across many Northern

:59:43. > :59:48.areas, comfortable night for sleeping, temperatures down to low

:59:49. > :59:56.single figures. Further south we will see mild air hanging on about

:59:57. > :00:02.13 or 14 degrees. Into Wednesday high-pressure starting to build from

:00:03. > :00:06.the south, as it does so it will settle down and saw a drier and

:00:07. > :00:11.brighter day for most of us, cloud towards south Wales and South West

:00:12. > :00:15.England, for most lots of sunshine during the afternoon and with it

:00:16. > :00:21.feeling quite pleasant with light winds, maximum temperatures up to

:00:22. > :00:28.18, 19 degrees, 20, 20 three degrees across the South. For Thursday

:00:29. > :00:33.driver most of England and Wales but for Scotland and Northern Ireland we

:00:34. > :00:37.have got more rain spreading, 17 Celsius, the breeze picking up,

:00:38. > :00:41.further south and east it will be drier with bright spells and again

:00:42. > :00:47.feeling quite warm, temperatures up to about 25 degrees.

:07:27. > :07:27.I believe. It's set to be an uphill struggle

:07:28. > :07:31.for Ben Ainslie and his crew - after Great Britain suffered

:07:32. > :07:34.a fourth consecutive defeat The team made an error around

:07:35. > :07:39.the third turn yesterday It means they're now

:07:40. > :07:42.third in the standings. They'll now take on the other five

:07:43. > :07:54.teams again over the next few days - They ground us down and got the win.

:07:55. > :07:59.We're clearly disappointed with that. We have to go away. Look at

:08:00. > :08:04.our development programme, our configuration for the coming days.

:08:05. > :08:06.And make improvements. That's the sport. I'll have the latest in

:08:07. > :08:10.around 30 minutes' time. The largest party in Scotland

:08:11. > :08:13.the SNP is launching its manifesto It includes a plan to invest

:08:14. > :08:17.an additional ?118 billion Nicola Sturgeon will also promise

:08:18. > :08:21.to give Scotland a strong voice Our reporter Jim Reed has

:08:22. > :08:27.been speaking to voters across the southern

:08:28. > :08:39.part of Scotland. We're expect that can launch about

:08:40. > :08:44.11.00. Nicola Sturgeon speaking live on the news channel at that time.

:08:45. > :08:49.You've touched on some of the things we're expecting to hear. A possible

:08:50. > :08:54.increase in the minimum wage. Focus on immigration. If you're wondering

:08:55. > :08:58.why this manifesto launch is coming so late, a week or so ahead of the

:08:59. > :09:03.vote, it was meant to take place last Tuesday. Got delayed because of

:09:04. > :09:07.those terror attacks in Manchester. Before that date, we spent some time

:09:08. > :09:10.in the southern part of Scotland really interesting area from a

:09:11. > :09:13.political point of view. There's three constituencies or seats there

:09:14. > :09:18.along the border with England in Scotland. Two of them held by the

:09:19. > :09:23.SNP. One by the Conservatives. All very close at the moment. Expect a

:09:24. > :09:27.big fight, tussle, this time round. We spent some time travelling

:09:28. > :09:31.through, speaking to voters. We finished in the very south-west of

:09:32. > :09:35.Scotland in Stranraer. We started further towards the east in the

:09:36. > :09:38.market town of Selkirk in the Scottish Borders.

:09:39. > :09:41.We've had five years of not knowing what's going to happen.

:09:42. > :09:43.We've have the independence of Scotland, we had Brexit.

:09:44. > :09:46.They're so busy ranting on about independence

:09:47. > :09:50.It's like they don't want to hear our words,

:09:51. > :09:55.it's like they don't want to hear what we have to say.

:09:56. > :10:03.A week after the general election, the tradesmen of Selkirk

:10:04. > :10:06.will perform at Common Riding, a tradition going back centuries

:10:07. > :10:14.In the recent independence referendum, this region voted

:10:15. > :10:20.Not everyone, though, is excited about yet

:10:21. > :10:26.If they would just tell you there's a general election,

:10:27. > :10:30.send you the pamphlets and stuff like that, let you get on with it.

:10:31. > :10:32.But it's on the television, every night and day after day,

:10:33. > :10:37.I'm interested, I must admit, much more so than normal.

:10:38. > :10:42.Purely because I'm very much Unionist rather than Independent,

:10:43. > :10:45.and therefore I think this is really important.

:10:46. > :10:47.So for you, it's about independence, this?

:10:48. > :10:54.It's an area that needs strong local people leading us,

:10:55. > :10:58.because we can often be forgotten about, in this neck of the woods.

:10:59. > :11:01.Everywhere you look here, you see signs of a rich past,

:11:02. > :11:05.giant mills that once drove a thriving textile industry.

:11:06. > :11:12.But most of those skilled jobs have gone, replaced by huge call centres.

:11:13. > :11:16.Work tends to be short-term, and just above the minimum wage.

:11:17. > :11:26.He welcomes the call centre jobs, but worries about the future.

:11:27. > :11:30.The disadvantages are that they aren't really permanent,

:11:31. > :11:33.they're mostly temporary, they don't really last that long.

:11:34. > :11:36.Do you sit there frustrated by that, or do you try to do

:11:37. > :11:40.How do you feel about the fact there is less opportunity

:11:41. > :11:43.Well, I can't really do anything about the less opportunities.

:11:44. > :11:47.All I can really do is have a voice, and my vote really matters.

:11:48. > :11:50.Alan is planning to vote for the Scottish National Party next week.

:11:51. > :11:53.I voted yes for independence last time, but the referendum isn't

:11:54. > :11:57.the main reason for me to vote for the SNP.

:11:58. > :12:03.I've got to know my MPs, and locally they are more

:12:04. > :12:08.And you don't feel the Conservatives,

:12:09. > :12:09.or the Liberal Democrats, or Labour can offer

:12:10. > :12:15.Well, Labour only mentioned their plan for Scotland in 115 words

:12:16. > :12:22.In fairness to Labour, it has now published a separate

:12:23. > :12:28.As for this region, there has been new investment.

:12:29. > :12:31.The train line to Edinburgh has reopened.

:12:32. > :12:33.But, at a drop-in centre for unemployed young people,

:12:34. > :12:38.there's a definite sense of being forgotten by the parties.

:12:39. > :12:40.The British elections, the general elections,

:12:41. > :12:42.it's like they don't want to hear our words,

:12:43. > :12:45.it's like they don't want to hear what we have to say.

:12:46. > :12:50.I don't think they are dealing with any of the sort

:12:51. > :12:57.You know, like lack of jobs, or anything like that.

:12:58. > :13:00.They're just focused on the big issues, like coming out

:13:01. > :13:07.It's been overshadowed a lot, and that's not so great.

:13:08. > :13:17.The SNP totally dominates Scottish politics at the moment,

:13:18. > :13:24.But in this part of the country, the southern part of Scotland,

:13:25. > :13:31.The Conservatives have been pushing an anti-independence message very,

:13:32. > :13:34.very hard, hoping to hang onto the one Scottish seat

:13:35. > :13:36.they currently hold, and maybe pick up a couple of seats

:13:37. > :13:43.We drive west to another constituency.

:13:44. > :13:47.Dumfries is still a busy market town, but like many high streets,

:13:48. > :13:55.We're here to meet two viewers who messaged the programme.

:13:56. > :14:05.First up, John Dowson, who's lived here for 30 years.

:14:06. > :14:10.He said he cal edge enned to us come to Dumfries.

:14:11. > :14:12.Dumfries is suffering from online shopping and supermarkets

:14:13. > :14:16.John is part of a community project to buy up disused shops

:14:17. > :14:21.For years a Labour supporter, he voted for Scottish independence,

:14:22. > :14:27.Brexit is crucial to him, so at 69 years old, he just

:14:28. > :14:29.might vote Conservative for the first time.

:14:30. > :14:34.I have a difficulty, because I'm tempted to vote Conservative.

:14:35. > :14:36.But, I want to vote for independence, that's

:14:37. > :14:43.But I don't want to see us gain independence as a Scottish country,

:14:44. > :14:45.to get freedom from Westminster, only to become

:14:46. > :14:50.So, which way are you thinking at the moment?

:14:51. > :14:53.That's between me and the ballot box!

:14:54. > :14:57.So, if you did vote Conservative, would this be the first time

:14:58. > :15:00.you would've voted Conservative in your life?

:15:01. > :15:03.If I do that, yes it would be, and it will be the same

:15:04. > :15:06.for many Labour voters, and many SNP voters.

:15:07. > :15:10.On the other side, Morag Paterson, who lives in the centre

:15:11. > :15:24.Jeremy Corbyn was undoubtedly attacked over

:15:25. > :15:30.I think he's stood up to all the criticism really well,

:15:31. > :15:32.with a lot of strength, a lot of integrity.

:15:33. > :15:37.I believe in what he stands for, and I like his style of politics.

:15:38. > :15:39.Here's where it gets complicated again.

:15:40. > :15:42.Morag is a strong Jeremy Corbyn supporter.

:15:43. > :15:44.She is on the fence on Scottish independence, and voted

:15:45. > :15:50.In this election, though, she says she is not voting Labour.

:15:51. > :15:54.I've voted for all the parties during my lifetime.

:15:55. > :15:56.Well, with the exception of the extreme right.

:15:57. > :15:59.But, this time round I'll be voting SNP, because I really

:16:00. > :16:01.do not want to see a Tory majority in Westminster.

:16:02. > :16:04.As a Jeremy Corbyn supporter, how do you feel about not voting

:16:05. > :16:09.I can't vote for him here, because it's a tight race

:16:10. > :16:13.I mean, if the polls change in the very close run-up,

:16:14. > :16:18.But, I am campaigning for the SNP and Labour using social media,

:16:19. > :16:20.because I think for England, Labour is a good answer.

:16:21. > :16:27.You know, in Scotland, it's a different situation.

:16:28. > :16:29.Dumfries and Galloway is the sixth-largest

:16:30. > :16:32.constituency in the whole UK, with a huge farming sector.

:16:33. > :16:37.Most voters live a decent drive from the towns.

:16:38. > :16:42.28-year-old Colin Ferguson is part of a farming family.

:16:43. > :16:44.This place, with around 350 dairy cattle, is

:16:45. > :16:53.In a second cow shed, week-old calves are being fed by hand.

:16:54. > :16:56.Colin voted to leave the EU last year, a step into the unknown,

:16:57. > :17:02.We've had five years of not knowing what's going to happen.

:17:03. > :17:05.We've had the independence in Scotland, we've had the Brexit,

:17:06. > :17:07.we've made all those decisions, what we need to do now

:17:08. > :17:11.So all this talk of a second referendum...

:17:12. > :17:17.It's the same as the Scottish independence referendum,

:17:18. > :17:21.Brexit, we decided to leave, accept it, move on.

:17:22. > :17:24.The longer we sit about not knowing where we're going to be

:17:25. > :17:26.in five years' time, the more businesses suffer,

:17:27. > :17:32.The farming community in Scotland was split on Brexit.

:17:33. > :17:34.Many others are worried about exports and how

:17:35. > :17:40.But, on this farm at least, Colin and his father are prepared

:17:41. > :17:44.to give the government the benefit of the doubt.

:17:45. > :17:46.Do you trust the people there at the moment,

:17:47. > :17:48.Theresa May and the government, to get these questions

:17:49. > :17:54.We'll tell you after they've done it.

:17:55. > :18:01.I don't trust the politicians, but they're there for a reason.

:18:02. > :18:06.Seats like this one are complex, so close, with so many unknowns.

:18:07. > :18:08.The result here will be watched very carefully,

:18:09. > :18:17.We can speak now to Stewart Hosie - the SNP's spokesperson

:18:18. > :18:25.on the economy - who joins us ahead of the manifesto launch from Perth.

:18:26. > :18:31.How do you view the prospect of a former SNP voters considering voting

:18:32. > :18:39.Conservative this time because they do not want a second referendum? I

:18:40. > :18:44.think the package you just had was fascinating, Labour voters talking

:18:45. > :18:48.about voting SNP tactically, other SNP people sticking with us, others

:18:49. > :18:54.concerned about independents or boarding to leave the EU, I think

:18:55. > :18:58.the package showed the complexity of real voters in real seats. The

:18:59. > :19:04.argument of what we all have to do is make a strong case which covers

:19:05. > :19:07.all of the issues. When I hear these things I am not dreadfully

:19:08. > :19:13.surprised. What I am confident about is what I am seeing in the polls

:19:14. > :19:16.which is ask somewhere around the mid-40s, people satisfied with the

:19:17. > :19:18.performance of the Scottish Government and after today's

:19:19. > :19:24.manifesto launch enthused about what we will bring to the table at

:19:25. > :19:28.Westminster. I wonder how many people are enthused about the fact

:19:29. > :19:34.that Scotland recorded its worst ever performance when it comes to

:19:35. > :19:40.education in an international survey last year following from 11th to

:19:41. > :19:47.23rd in Reading, 24th in maths and 19th in science under your party

:19:48. > :19:51.leadership? Kill obviously those are disappointing results but what you

:19:52. > :19:56.need to understand is that was a Sample survey, not the data for all

:19:57. > :20:03.peoples. When you look at pupils across the country you do not get

:20:04. > :20:08.the results you saw in that Sample survey, you get 83% or more on or

:20:09. > :20:17.above the required standard. Last but survey was disappointing and

:20:18. > :20:24.nobody will say it was not, when you look at the whole survey you get

:20:25. > :20:30.more accurate data. The waiting time is for hospital admissions have been

:20:31. > :20:38.repeatedly missed, what is going on there? There is record funding and

:20:39. > :20:44.given the cuts Scotland has had to suffer, about 2.9 billion, that is

:20:45. > :20:45.remarkable, more doctors and consultants and nurses across the

:20:46. > :21:07.piece. it's better than the rest of the UK.

:21:08. > :21:12.I have looked at the graphs, they are going down. As with every part

:21:13. > :21:17.of the UK there are always challenges when it comes to the

:21:18. > :21:20.health service. What I would say to viewers in Scotland, if you think

:21:21. > :21:26.the performance in Scotland is bad and it's the best in the UK, I would

:21:27. > :21:30.look at the privatised NHS South of the border and ask that you want the

:21:31. > :21:34.Scottish National Party pumping record amounts of money into the NHS

:21:35. > :21:46.to protect and preserve it or do you want

:21:47. > :21:50.to see a privatised under somebody like Jeremy Hunt? The answer would

:21:51. > :21:52.be a categorical support for the SNP support. You want control of

:21:53. > :21:55.immigration, you want that sector devolved, explain why? Scotland is

:21:56. > :22:00.not full up, our population has risen but we are not full, we need

:22:01. > :22:05.more people to come and grow our economy. The argument about

:22:06. > :22:09.immigration in Scotland is different to the argument against immigration

:22:10. > :22:12.south of the border. There is an acceptance by all parties that

:22:13. > :22:17.managed immigration, bringing in skilled workers is a good thing for

:22:18. > :22:22.the economy. We want to control that, it is not good enough for

:22:23. > :22:27.Tories to suddenly say Scotland is an unattractive place, bring in more

:22:28. > :22:31.people, by denying us the right to control our own immigration policy,

:22:32. > :22:35.it is bonkers. It should be controlled in Scotland to meet

:22:36. > :22:39.Scottish needs. Do you have a target of how many more emigrants you want

:22:40. > :22:45.in Scotland or is it to do with the needs of the economy? You managed

:22:46. > :22:52.immigration on the needs of the economy. The Tories have got it

:22:53. > :22:56.wrong with net figures, you cannot set a target because you don't know

:22:57. > :22:59.how many people believe, you don't know how many pensioners in the

:23:00. > :23:05.south of England might go and live in Spain for example. That impacts

:23:06. > :23:08.your net migration figures, these targets are bonkers which is why

:23:09. > :23:16.George Osborne disagreed so profoundly with weak and wobbly

:23:17. > :23:20.Theresa May. Thank you very much, Nicola Sturgeon will be live on the

:23:21. > :23:25.news channel launching her election manifesto, the SNP leader, you can

:23:26. > :23:32.see that at 11am on the BBC News Channel.

:23:33. > :23:38.a dishevelled Tiger Woods, bleary-eyed and unshaven -

:23:39. > :23:40.a picture that will no doubt haunt him for years to come.

:23:41. > :23:43.It was taken after his arrest for driving under the influence.

:23:44. > :23:46.Tiger Woods was one of the world's most successful golfers -

:23:47. > :23:48.he totally dominated the sport winning 14 championships

:23:49. > :23:51.and was the number one for eight of the years he played.

:23:52. > :23:54.But that all collapsed in 2009 when he revealed he had had multiple

:23:55. > :23:56.extra marital affairs and issued this public apology

:23:57. > :24:13.The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behaviour. I

:24:14. > :24:19.was unfaithful. I had a fair 's, I cheated. What I did is not

:24:20. > :24:26.acceptable. And I am the only person to blame. I stopped living by the

:24:27. > :24:31.core values that I was taught to believe in. I knew my actions were

:24:32. > :24:39.wrong but I convinced myself that normal rules did not apply. I never

:24:40. > :24:46.thought about who I was hurting. Instead I thought only about myself.

:24:47. > :24:50.I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple

:24:51. > :24:55.should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted. I

:24:56. > :25:02.felt I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the

:25:03. > :25:10.temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame I

:25:11. > :25:16.did not have far, I did not have to go far to find them. I was wrong, I

:25:17. > :25:23.was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules. The same boundaries

:25:24. > :25:31.that apply to everyone apply to me. I brought this shame on myself. I

:25:32. > :25:39.heard my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my

:25:40. > :25:45.foundation, and kids all around the world who admired me. I've had a lot

:25:46. > :25:55.of time to think about what I have done. My failures have made me look

:25:56. > :26:03.at myself in a way I never wanted to the fore. It's now up to me to make

:26:04. > :26:06.amends and that starts by never repeating the mistakes I've made.

:26:07. > :26:15.It's up to me to start living a life of integrity. I once heard, and I

:26:16. > :26:19.believe it's true, it's not what you achieve in life that matters. It's

:26:20. > :26:29.what you overcome. Achievements on the golf course are only part of

:26:30. > :26:32.setting an example. Character, and decency, are what really count.

:26:33. > :26:45.Now he's blamed his arrest in the early hours of Monday morning

:26:46. > :26:47.on an "unexpected reaction to prescribed medication" -

:26:48. > :26:51.We can speak now to Former Ryder Cup Captain Bernard Gallacher

:26:52. > :26:53.and David Alexander, a Sports Publicist who worked

:26:54. > :26:55.on a media campaign with Tiger Woods in 2006.

:26:56. > :27:06.Bernard Coll I hope you can hear me OK. I can, thank you,. What do you

:27:07. > :27:10.think of this? When he says it wasn't alcohol, I think we have to

:27:11. > :27:16.believe him. It was a prescription drug, probably painkillers for the

:27:17. > :27:20.back operations he has been having but at the same time, I did not like

:27:21. > :27:27.the look of his mugshot, must be one of the worst that has ever been

:27:28. > :27:33.taken and it has not done him any favours. I don't know how he gets

:27:34. > :27:38.out of this one. But I did not think he was a drinker, he has no

:27:39. > :27:41.reputation for being in a bar or drinking, this was definitely

:27:42. > :27:49.related to the painkilling prescription drugs he is on. Is this

:27:50. > :27:53.the end of his career? We're coming to the end of the Tiger's career

:27:54. > :27:58.whether we like it or not because he's just not fit enough to play the

:27:59. > :28:03.modern game. He had a very athletic golf swing, hit the ball for miles,

:28:04. > :28:09.every part of his game was good. Golf is a twisting rotary type of

:28:10. > :28:13.action and anyone who has this sustained period of back problems

:28:14. > :28:17.and back operations, it's difficult to see him coming back to anywhere

:28:18. > :28:23.near the level he was before. But saying that, he is determined to

:28:24. > :28:30.come back in some sort of way. But it will be in a very limited

:28:31. > :28:34.capacity. Let me bring in David Alexander, sports publicist, what

:28:35. > :28:37.advice would you be giving him right now? First of all I think it's

:28:38. > :28:42.surprising he has not put his statement out on all this social

:28:43. > :28:46.media channels, if you look on his website there is no statement. He

:28:47. > :28:51.just gave the statement to USA Today and allowed them to share it with

:28:52. > :28:55.other people. My advice to him would be to talk directly to his fans,

:28:56. > :28:59.because they are the people who at the end of the day are helping hand

:29:00. > :29:05.make as much money as he has even when his career has been slipping.

:29:06. > :29:09.He made $45 million last year which pits in the top 15 in the world. He

:29:10. > :29:15.needs to talk to them directly and not just through one journalist

:29:16. > :29:20.issuing a statement. Do you feel sorry for him? I do not, I think

:29:21. > :29:26.there was an image of Tiger Woods as a robotic, superb golfer. He was the

:29:27. > :29:31.first African-American to break through in a predominantly white

:29:32. > :29:35.sport. Very successful. But we all never saw a sanitised version of him

:29:36. > :29:38.and when you build someone up to such a high degree they are always

:29:39. > :29:42.going to fall further and further and further. He has learnt a lesson

:29:43. > :29:45.already so far by putting out a statement straightaway which he did

:29:46. > :29:50.not do after the problems he suffered in 2009, it took him three

:29:51. > :30:00.months before we got the statement we just saw. But he has only to one

:30:01. > :30:07.journalist. Burner do you feel sorry for him? I do, in a way. Tiger Woods

:30:08. > :30:11.has been a great player, he's got to the very top in golf, all the

:30:12. > :30:18.prejudice in America which went with it. He's just been fantastic. But I

:30:19. > :30:23.agree with what Mr Alexander says, he has brought a lot of this on

:30:24. > :30:29.himself. But we all try to make allowances, I would like to see a

:30:30. > :30:34.great player like Tiger comeback. Golf, the great thing about golf is

:30:35. > :30:40.that golf seems to have got by without Tiger, there was a case not

:30:41. > :30:46.so long ago when he did give up for a file in 2009, TV ratings in

:30:47. > :30:49.America went to the floor when he left the sport and that seems to

:30:50. > :30:54.have recovered now so golf can live without him. But there is nothing I

:30:55. > :31:02.would like better than to see Tiger playing against a Rory McIlroy,

:31:03. > :31:05.Justin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, I would like to see him fighting

:31:06. > :31:10.against those type of players who have taken over his mantle since he

:31:11. > :31:15.dropped out of the game, that is what I would like. I wonder David

:31:16. > :31:17.Alexander as a sports publicist you might suggest he concentrates now on

:31:18. > :31:28.his golf foundation? If you look at his website it says

:31:29. > :31:32.redefining what it means to be a champion. It should be someone

:31:33. > :31:38.setting a great example. Over the last few years we've seen anything

:31:39. > :31:44.but the exemplary behaviour to young people and to inspire them. We also

:31:45. > :31:53.know top sports people, top actors, people are not perfect. Absolutely

:31:54. > :31:56.but you have to position yourself in a way that doesn't portray yourself

:31:57. > :32:03.as perfect which is what he was doing in his early days of success.

:32:04. > :32:07.When I worked with him in 2006, none of the publicists were allowed near

:32:08. > :32:11.him because he wanted to keep a close circle so people didn't really

:32:12. > :32:15.get to understand what the real person was. That's why his fall's

:32:16. > :32:21.been so pronounced. Thank you very much.

:32:22. > :32:29.Still to come. We'll talk to former England cricketer Jonathan Trott

:32:30. > :32:34.about his career highs and lows. And a former rugby league player about

:32:35. > :32:36.the use of painkillers in high impact sports. Some say they pose a

:32:37. > :32:45.bigger threat than doping. Our top story: Tributes

:32:46. > :32:55.are paid to Rosa Park, the zookeeper killed

:32:56. > :33:05.by a tiger yesterday. Her family said Le she was dedicated

:33:06. > :33:13.to her job and wouldn't have done anything else. The Conservatives are

:33:14. > :33:18.focusing on Brexit while Labour focus on childcare pom Sis. The

:33:19. > :33:21.leaders of both parties face questions in a live television

:33:22. > :33:22.broadcast. Theresa May was questioned by Jeremy Paxman with her

:33:23. > :33:26.stance on Brexit. We gave people the choice

:33:27. > :33:30.Jeremy and the British people decided to leave

:33:31. > :33:33.the European Union and I think it's important for them

:33:34. > :33:35.to see their politicians delivering on that choice and

:33:36. > :33:38.respecting the will of the people. Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn was quizzed

:33:39. > :33:41.about his views on drone strikes, tax-raising plans and past

:33:42. > :33:45.campaigning in Northern Ireland. In a question and answer session

:33:46. > :33:47.with the studio audience, the Labour leader defended his

:33:48. > :33:52.stance on corporation tax. This country is badly divided

:33:53. > :33:56.between the richest and the poorest. You put corporate tax and tax

:33:57. > :34:00.at the top end down, Are you happy that so many of our

:34:01. > :34:06.children are going to school So many of our children

:34:07. > :34:12.are going to school hungry? British Airways says it will operate

:34:13. > :34:15.a full schedule at Heathrow and Gatwick today for the first time

:34:16. > :34:18.since the computer failure on Saturday disrupted flights around

:34:19. > :34:20.the world. The airline says its IT systems

:34:21. > :34:23.are now "back up and running" but "significant numbers"

:34:24. > :34:26.of passengers are still without their luggage which could

:34:27. > :34:31.take some time to sort out. Tiger Woods has denied he'd been

:34:32. > :34:34.drinking when he was stopped Police charged him with being

:34:35. > :34:38.under the influence - but the golfer has blamed

:34:39. > :34:40.an unexpected reaction Prince Harry will attend the launch

:34:41. > :34:47.of the UK's Invictus Games team and host his first

:37:30. > :38:00.# And heaven is in sight...#. He's here. The paper back version of

:38:01. > :38:06.his autobiography Unguarded is out now. I'm going to start with the

:38:07. > :38:10.tour you left down under. Describe to our audience what was going on in

:38:11. > :38:14.your head when it came to you thinking about playing for England?

:38:15. > :38:18.It was more of a case of getting into cricket. It was actually the

:38:19. > :38:25.physical challenge of going to the match and playing. I wasn't quite

:38:26. > :38:28.sure what was going on. That was the most confusing thing. I'd wanted to

:38:29. > :38:33.be a cricketer since I was three years old. Suddenly, I was having

:38:34. > :38:37.all these feelings. Feeling almost frozen. Not sure how else to

:38:38. > :38:41.describe it. As a cricketer, a batsman, you need to move quickly. I

:38:42. > :38:46.was feeling I was slow. Other things were taking up my mind. I wasn't

:38:47. > :38:51.able to concentrate or think clearly acid autohe a done previously and

:38:52. > :38:54.successfully. You weren't sleeping the night before. Worried about

:38:55. > :39:01.bowlers running in at you. You were exhausted? Yeah, I think also, there

:39:02. > :39:05.were a few factors. I was perhaps putting a little bit too much on my

:39:06. > :39:09.plate. Trying to hard. Before, I really focussed on my preparation

:39:10. > :39:15.and let playing take care of itself. A little bit of an imbalance.

:39:16. > :39:21.Thoughts of wanting to be do too much. Be the best batsman. Before I

:39:22. > :39:27.focussed on other things. I was putting too much pressure on myself.

:39:28. > :39:31.Well heavy schedules, it took its toll. I wish I could have changed

:39:32. > :39:37.things or go back and do things differently. I certainly learnt from

:39:38. > :39:42.the experience. Comingings through that experience. Leaving that tour

:39:43. > :39:46.and fighting my a place back to the tour of the West Indies 18 months

:39:47. > :39:51.later, I'm very proud of that against all the odds. I'm proud of

:39:52. > :39:55.that, to give it another crack. The team had moved on. Different

:39:56. > :39:58.personnel. Others players had retired. My time as well had run

:39:59. > :40:03.playing international cricket. It was time to get out of the way for

:40:04. > :40:07.younger players we see being so successful today. You talk in the

:40:08. > :40:14.book about ringing your dad. It was really hard to say you were leaving

:40:15. > :40:18.that tour in Australia. A dad who had encouraged and supported you.

:40:19. > :40:22.And, also, made you butter through pressure, possibly, as you were

:40:23. > :40:27.growing up. You said you felt, it was the hardest phone call of your

:40:28. > :40:31.life, to ring him? Certainly. My upbringing's slightly different. I

:40:32. > :40:36.had both very sporty parents. Weekend were spent on the side of a

:40:37. > :40:40.hockey or cricket field. My mother was an international softball

:40:41. > :40:44.player. I was either on the side of a softball pitch or cricket field.

:40:45. > :40:50.They were both fantastic sports people. I luckily got a bit of

:40:51. > :40:55.talent and wanted to make the most of it and make them proud. To phone

:40:56. > :40:59.your dad who was with you every step of the way. You're leaving app Ashes

:41:00. > :41:03.tour, it is something very difficult. One of the hardest things

:41:04. > :41:07.I've ever had to do emotionally to do that and make the decision. I

:41:08. > :41:13.certainly stand by my decision to leave. I certainly felt like I

:41:14. > :41:17.wasn't helping the side in what was a difficult Ashes tour. The other

:41:18. > :41:22.thing which was hard to take was to lose the series as hard as the team

:41:23. > :41:25.did. I'd been lucky enough to be around for successful times. But it

:41:26. > :41:29.is important to be there when the times are tough and you want to help

:41:30. > :41:34.them out of a sticky situation. What would have been the impact on you if

:41:35. > :41:42.you'd stayed? I couldn't have helped but I wish I had been there trying

:41:43. > :41:46.to be able to help. When eventually, the initial England statement was

:41:47. > :41:50.stress related to illness. Later, you gave a statement. People were

:41:51. > :41:56.talking about it and didn't really know. In the interview you talked

:41:57. > :42:00.about burn-out which led former England captain Michael Vaughan to

:42:01. > :42:07.suggest he'd felt he was conneds by the initial statement. How did you

:42:08. > :42:11.react to that? As soon as any ex-cricketer or ex-England captain

:42:12. > :42:14.questions you or your thoughts or how you go about your business

:42:15. > :42:18.playing for England and feeling conned, that's quite hurtful.

:42:19. > :42:25.Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. The occasion was, the

:42:26. > :42:31.problem was, when I left the tour, we weren't quite sure what was wrong

:42:32. > :42:37.with with me. He said, I'd sign you off for a couple of weeks normally.

:42:38. > :42:45.But on an Ashes tour, doesn't work like that. With help through the ECB

:42:46. > :42:49.I saw a psychologist. After six weeks I woke up feeling better and

:42:50. > :42:53.wanted to play cricket again. I wasn't back in that pressure cooker

:42:54. > :42:58.situation. Speaking to the psychologist, they were saying,

:42:59. > :43:02.typical symptoms of burn-out. I hadn't been put back into that

:43:03. > :43:07.pressure situation. We did the documentary. Went and play another

:43:08. > :43:11.game of the cricket and felt the same. By then it was too late to

:43:12. > :43:17.stop that documentary being aired. I had to try again and sort myself. I

:43:18. > :43:23.played a few Games for Warwickshire. Had another break and Steve Peters

:43:24. > :43:26.helped me get back on the field. Psychiatrists who've helped various

:43:27. > :43:30.other sports people. I want to take you back to the controversy around

:43:31. > :43:36.that. Do you think you would have been better treated if you'd simply

:43:37. > :43:40.had depression? Do people understand depression more? I think nowadays,

:43:41. > :43:47.people are understanding it is quite a broad term. There are lots of

:43:48. > :43:50.things people suffer from. I haven't suffered from bee precious. I

:43:51. > :43:55.suffered anxiety. I was putting too much pressure on myself which caused

:43:56. > :43:59.me to freeze up a little bit. It is very new. I'd always gone out there

:44:00. > :44:04.to express myself and enjoy the situation. Preparing for the game.

:44:05. > :44:10.Letting cricket take care of had testify. Whatever happens, happens.

:44:11. > :44:13.For now, crossing the ropes has become more pressurised. The balance

:44:14. > :44:20.between the game, life and death, changed a bit. It wasn't a case of

:44:21. > :44:23.burn-out. I reeventually got round to getting myself right, playing

:44:24. > :44:33.cricket and enjoying it again. Are you? Absolutely. Very fortunate to

:44:34. > :44:39.be for booed by Warwickshire. I have guys around me who are true friends.

:44:40. > :44:43.Understand my game. Helped me get back to playing for Warwickshire.

:44:44. > :44:49.What did Steve Peters suggest to you in terms of the kind of tricks, if

:44:50. > :44:52.you like, you should do in order to get yourself comfortable around

:44:53. > :44:57.Edgbaston but without necessarily playing cricket? There are various

:44:58. > :45:00.steps. When I first sat down. It is surreal, you go there, know there

:45:01. > :45:07.are lots of other great sportsmen who've been to see him. You have a

:45:08. > :45:12.bit of trust and confidence. He said, I don't see a human, just a

:45:13. > :45:19.computer I need to fix. Speak to me and I'll see what we can do. I

:45:20. > :45:22.remember driving away from the Peak District, phoning my wife, this will

:45:23. > :45:27.be fine. I felt a lot more confident, raring to go and do work

:45:28. > :45:33.with him and try to get better. It was a case of starting in the second

:45:34. > :45:37.team at Warwickshire and learning to accept disappointment, getting out

:45:38. > :45:42.to 17 or 18-year-old try lists getting me out in the nets and being

:45:43. > :45:47.OK with that. Moving on, playing a second team game. Accepting failure.

:45:48. > :45:51.Earning my place back in the Warwickshire first side. Then, being

:45:52. > :45:56.OK with that. Moving on to the international stage again in 2015.

:45:57. > :46:02.It is a long process. But, something very valuable. I learnt a lot of

:46:03. > :46:05.things about myself. And that will certainly help me in today's career.

:46:06. > :46:11.At the end of my career. But going forward in life. Whatever the future

:46:12. > :46:14.holds. How old are you now? 36. How many century for Warwickshire this

:46:15. > :46:22.season so far? A few. Three or four, I think. So modest. How long will

:46:23. > :46:27.you play for? I don't know. Until they get rid of me! Thank you. We're

:46:28. > :46:33.going to talk about painkillers in sport next. There is a doctor

:46:34. > :46:37.suggesting actually you're injured, you have a back injury, you take a

:46:38. > :46:41.painkiller to get through a game. Long-term it can be really bad for

:46:42. > :46:45.your health but you can see why professional sports people use these

:46:46. > :46:50.painkillers. Are they an issue. Do you think physios abuse them to get

:46:51. > :46:54.a player on the pitch? You have to be careful you're not too reliant on

:46:55. > :46:59.them and they mask an injure ary which will do you long-term damage.

:47:00. > :47:04.I've been fortunate with injuries and niggles. I have taken a few to

:47:05. > :47:07.get through a stiff back or knee. You have to sort it out. You have to

:47:08. > :47:22.sort out what the real problem is. So, claims that the misuse

:47:23. > :47:24.and abuse of painkillers by athletes poses a bigger threat to

:47:25. > :47:26.sport than doping. Jiri Dvorak - FifA's former

:47:27. > :47:28.chief medical officer says use of these drugs has reached

:47:29. > :47:30."epidemic" proportions. I spoke to him earlier

:47:31. > :47:33.and he told me the "abuse" is putting the long-term health

:47:34. > :47:48.of footballers in jeopardy. We have several studies which are

:47:49. > :47:56.indicating the long-term abuse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory

:47:57. > :48:04.drugs, so-called painkillers, can have adverse effects, particularly

:48:05. > :48:13.increasing the risk of myocardial infarction is. So heart attack in

:48:14. > :48:16.later stages of life. It seems this risk is dose-related. You are saying

:48:17. > :48:25.it could lead to a heart attack in later life? This is correct. This is

:48:26. > :48:31.the most recent paper published on a large survey with close to 400,000

:48:32. > :48:35.people in Denmark. Players want to play, they have short careers. If

:48:36. > :48:41.pain relief can get them few a few games then they are going to take

:48:42. > :48:50.the painkillers. Yes, we know that and we have a clear indication that

:48:51. > :48:58.the use or I would even say the alarming abuse of those medications

:48:59. > :49:06.is almost the entire competition. Why is it abuse? Icy abuse because

:49:07. > :49:08.if there is the medical indication and it's not justified, we go from

:49:09. > :49:12.already used to abuse. Let's talk to Danny Sculthorpe -

:49:13. > :49:14.a former England and Wigan Following complications

:49:15. > :49:17.resulting from an injury picked up during training,

:49:18. > :49:19.he became addicted to And at the national sports centre

:49:20. > :49:23.in Lilleshall is Chris Tomlinson - a team physician with Wolves

:49:24. > :49:36.football club and chief medical Danny, tell our audience how you

:49:37. > :49:41.came to be addicted to painkillers? I got an infection after being in

:49:42. > :49:48.theatre, really bad infection called septicaemia and I put on massive

:49:49. > :49:53.amounts of morphine, all the strongest opiates for the pain.

:49:54. > :49:59.Massive amounts for a long time and I got addicted. Eventually that

:50:00. > :50:04.addiction got worse than the injury. The withdrawal of coming off all

:50:05. > :50:08.those strong drugs was horrendous. How do you respond to this warning

:50:09. > :50:22.from the former Chief Medical Officer of Fifa, that people using

:50:23. > :50:25.these painkillers could end up with long-term problems? Rugby league is

:50:26. > :50:30.trying to stop players using these strong painkillers. Paracetamol and

:50:31. > :50:33.anti-inflammatories are quite popular in the sport, a lot of

:50:34. > :50:40.players taking them before training and after training and sometimes,

:50:41. > :50:46.stuff like tramadol and stuff like that players are taking that to

:50:47. > :50:52.relax after training and abusing it in that way. Seriously? Yes, some

:50:53. > :50:58.players taking these tablets, tramadol and what have you, you

:50:59. > :51:03.cannot have a drink to relax after the game so they will take them to

:51:04. > :51:07.chill out and watch TV and try to help them sleep. Sleeping tablets

:51:08. > :51:13.and painkillers were a major problem when I was playing. I knew a lot of

:51:14. > :51:18.players addicted to sleep medication because they found it hard to sleep

:51:19. > :51:23.after big games. Chris Tomlinson, thank you for talking to us, the

:51:24. > :51:26.professor saying misuse of these painkillers could have potentially

:51:27. > :51:32.life-threatening effects, what do you think? I think it's interesting,

:51:33. > :51:37.we have to look at the potential long-term affects and that still

:51:38. > :51:41.slightly unknown. The study of anti-inflammatories suggesting the

:51:42. > :51:43.risk is current when you take anti-inflammatories but the

:51:44. > :51:48.long-term effects are not quite known. It is concerning because as

:51:49. > :51:53.UK sports doctors we work under a professional code, at the heart of

:51:54. > :51:55.that is doing no harm to your patience and that the patient is at

:51:56. > :52:02.the centre of any decision-making process. So when you are sharing a

:52:03. > :52:05.decision with a patient or athlete aiming to compete in a competition

:52:06. > :52:09.or a match at the weekend what you're trying to work out is what

:52:10. > :52:14.risk you are putting them under and that can be a short-term risk for an

:52:15. > :52:19.injury, could the injury be worse because you are masking pain? Or

:52:20. > :52:24.could it have longer term effects, for example cardiac problems later

:52:25. > :52:31.in life or arthritis later in life or further damage? Tell me if I am

:52:32. > :52:37.wrong, I imagine if I was a professional footballer I would say

:52:38. > :52:40.to you, look, as my position, I want to play on Saturday, I am not

:52:41. > :52:46.thinking about 20 years down the line. Yes and that is why

:52:47. > :52:51.decision-making becomes difficult. Again, there is a lot of pressure on

:52:52. > :52:55.professional footballers, playing twice a week for most of the season.

:52:56. > :52:58.If they do not play they have problems, they could be out of the

:52:59. > :53:03.first team for the next three months. They can be perceived as

:53:04. > :53:07.being weak by managers. They are keen to play, so my question is what

:53:08. > :53:11.is the underlying cause of the pain and are we doing harm by masking

:53:12. > :53:18.that, are we putting them at more danger by treating it or not

:53:19. > :53:23.treating it? Have you ever put pressure on a position to give you

:53:24. > :53:29.painkillers Danny so you can play in a game? Probably the foremost games.

:53:30. > :53:34.I remember when I was at Wigan I dropped some weights on my stern and

:53:35. > :53:36.cracked my sternum, for the next six months I was getting local

:53:37. > :53:42.anaesthetic injections in my chest before every game because I did not

:53:43. > :53:47.want to let my family, my friends, my fans and my team down. You want

:53:48. > :53:51.to play every week as a young professional athlete and I would

:53:52. > :54:00.play no matter what. Thank you very much gentleman.

:54:01. > :54:03.And you can hear more - from Danny as well as former

:54:04. > :54:05.Rugby Union England international Lewis Moody - on the

:54:06. > :54:16.Gain Without Pain is on File on 4, on Radio 4, at 8pm.

:54:17. > :54:18.Thanks for all your messages saying how much you enjoyed

:54:19. > :54:21.Election Blind Dates - today it was the turn of leading

:54:22. > :54:23.Brexiteer Nigel Farage and journalist Rachel Johnson,

:54:24. > :54:38.Are you single, Nigel? That's a very good question, a lot of people

:54:39. > :54:46.asking that question. I am not very married at the moment. I am married.

:54:47. > :54:51.I know you are! It's good to get to know each other's status before

:54:52. > :54:57.embarking on this date. I think separated is my legal status. How do

:54:58. > :55:01.you feel about that? I don't think anything would have survived what

:55:02. > :55:05.I've been doing for the last five years Brackley. Not that I've been

:55:06. > :55:13.perfect, I am not, but it's been pretty awful. It's been pretty

:55:14. > :55:16.awful. Hellish. Are you talking about work and infidelity? I am

:55:17. > :55:21.talking about the nastiness and aggro that comes with it, that the

:55:22. > :55:29.whole hard left movement are now the remainders. That is not why your

:55:30. > :55:33.marriage broke down. The last time I went out with a family we were

:55:34. > :55:40.assaulted by 80 people. That is the last time we went out as a family.

:55:41. > :55:45.Do you have any security now? No help from the police, the state,

:55:46. > :55:53.nothing. You never go out. That is awful. Are you serious? I am dead

:55:54. > :56:06.serious. Shall we talk about something else? LAUGHTER

:56:07. > :56:19.Could you go to bed with a remainer? I am not going to answer that! Are

:56:20. > :56:33.you only attracted to Brexiters? That's a good question. He has no

:56:34. > :56:39.words. I must ask if the story about you meeting someone on a plane is

:56:40. > :56:46.true. You were snogging a page three model. Ludicrous, the whole thing,

:56:47. > :56:52.page three model would been OK. What was she doing in business class?

:56:53. > :56:58.That is a good question. Where you stitched up? What the episode shows

:56:59. > :57:05.me is you cannot trust anybody, you cannot talk to anybody. That is

:57:06. > :57:12.awful. I don't think you can trust random people. No. There I was

:57:13. > :57:15.sitting at the bar having dinner and someone comes and sits next to you

:57:16. > :57:28.and talks to you, what are you going to do? Snow car. Yes, well.

:57:29. > :57:31.If you want to watch the whole thing you can find it
