I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme. | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
A zookeeper killed by a tiger in Cambridgeshire has been described as | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
the shining light of the park. Rosa King 's attack at Hamerton Zoo | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
yesterday. This was her speaking a year ago. | :00:25. | :00:27. | |
We do a lot of work for conservation, a lot of breeding | :00:28. | :00:30. | |
to try and save the species, just like the Malayan tiger here - | :00:31. | :00:33. | |
there's only about 300 left in the wild and they're being poached. | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Before 10, we'll speak to an eyewitness | :00:37. | :00:39. | |
who was there with his family when it happened. | :00:40. | :00:46. | |
Plus - we'll talk to a surgeon who treated dozens of seriously | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
wounded patients after the Manchester terror attacks | :00:50. | :00:50. | |
That's a very good question - a lot of people are | :00:51. | :00:56. | |
I'm not very married at the moment, let's put it like that. | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
Well, it's good to get to know each other's status before | :01:02. | :01:14. | |
I think separated is my legal status. | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
That full lunch date with newly separated Ukip-er Nigel Farage | :01:18. | :01:19. | |
and journalist Rachel Johnson in the next few minutes. | :01:20. | :01:31. | |
Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
A little later, we'll try and find out what's | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
going on with golfer Tiger Woods, who's been arrested for driving | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
under the influence seven years after he began to try | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
and repair his public image after those multiple affairs. | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
Do get in touch on all the stories we're talking about this morning - | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
use the hashtag Victoria live and if you text, you will be charged | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
A zoo in Cambridgeshire will remain closed while an investigation | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
continues into the circumstances surrounding the killing of a keeper | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
Rosa King, who was 33, died yesterday at Hamerton Zoo | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Mauled to death by one of the park's tigers. | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
Police say the female zoo keeper, who has been named locally | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
as Rosa King, was killed inside the animal enclosure. | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
It's not known yet exactly what happened. | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
Busy with Bank Holiday visitors, several people posted photographs | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
Those in the park were led away, although some claimed | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
they were allowed back in for a short period before | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
the park was closed by zoo officials who later handed out a short | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
Nine years ago, a cheetah escaped through a broken electric fence, | :02:42. | :03:06. | |
It was later recaptured nearby and no-one was hurt. | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
Police say there are no suspicious circumstances and a full | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
The zoo says it will remain closed today. | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
Ben Ando is at Hamerton Zoo Park with the latest. | :03:16. | :03:27. | |
Staff have been arriving for work in sombre mood. They are obviously too | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
distressed to talk publicly about what happened. There is an | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
investigation under way. Yesterday, the police were here all day. At the | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
end of the day, they said there were no suspicious circumstances | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
surrounding what happened to Rosa King. But of course, the zoo will | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
have some serious questions to ask about how she came to be in the | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
enclosure with the tiger that mauled her to death. She has been described | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
by friends as a shining light here, someone who in some ways, the park | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
revolved around and someone who cared passionately about the animals | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
in her care, with an affinity in particular for cheetahs, but for all | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
big cats as well. While the investigation is going on, the part | :04:14. | :04:24. | |
remains closed. We will talk to an eyewitness who was at the zoo when | :04:25. | :04:25. | |
the attack happened later. Joanna is in the BBC | :04:26. | :04:26. | |
Newsroom with a summary Manchester Victoria Station has | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
reopened this morning after it was damaged in last | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
week's bomb attack. Last night, hundreds of people | :04:36. | :04:37. | |
gathered for a vigil at St Ann's Square to mark exactly | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
one week since 22 people were killed by a suicide bomber | :04:40. | :04:42. | |
at the Manchester Arena. Our correspondent Frankie McCamley | :04:43. | :04:44. | |
is in Manchester for us now. Joanne, if you can see behind me, | :04:45. | :04:56. | |
people are starting to come and go from Manchester Victoria Station. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
This city is now returning to some form of normality, but part of the | :05:01. | :05:05. | |
station do still remain closed. The section that connects the station to | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
the arena where Ariana Grande was performing when that bomb went off. | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
Staff have also been arriving. Those staff members turned into first | :05:16. | :05:18. | |
responders when they were the first people on the scene trying to help | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
the walking wounded and help people who have been badly hurt in the | :05:24. | :05:28. | |
attack. Last night, a vigil took place, a minute's silence marking | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
the exact moment that the bomb went off a week ago. Police have also | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
released a still of Salman Abedi, the man who set off this bomb last | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
Monday. They are looking for a blue suitcase he was carrying in the | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
hours leading up to that attack. With just over a week to go until | :05:46. | :05:55. | |
the general election, Theresa May will today turn the focus of the | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
Conservatives' campaign towards Brexit. Jeremy Corbyn will campaign | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
on the issue of childcare as Labour seeks to turn the spotlight on | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
public services. Last night, they both faced questions in a live | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
television broadcast. This was the first time Theresa May | :06:08. | :06:09. | |
and Jeremy Corbyn had appeared at the same venue in front | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
of the same audience for a grilling in front of the cameras | :06:13. | :06:18. | |
since the election was called. The Labour Leader had wanted | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
to debate with the Prime Minister Jeremy Corbyn was the first | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
to face the audience, the order decided by the toss | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
of a coin. He was asked about his determination | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
to deal with terror threats. He was also asked about his | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
approach to business. This country is badly divided | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
between the richest and the poorest. You put corporate tax and tax | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
at the top end down, Are you happy that so many of our | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
children are going to school So many of our children | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
are going to school hungry. Next, it was Theresa May's turn | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
and she faced questions over So why, Prime Minister, should | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
we and my generation vote for you? So what happens is, people | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
are paying for care, people are finding that they are having | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
to sell their house, many people are having | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
to sell their house to pay those care bills and many find that | :07:18. | :07:19. | |
they're not able to leave Now, I want to take those risks away | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
and that's what the proposals I've It's about ensuring that nobody | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
is going to have to sell their house Afterwards, it was clear | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
neither leader had landed The grilling has just ended | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
and senior politicians from the political parties are out | :07:37. | :07:44. | |
giving their own slant I think Team Corbyn and Team May | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
will both be pretty pleased. The two people wanting to be | :07:48. | :07:58. | |
Prime Minister after June 8th will have another chance | :07:59. | :08:01. | |
to make their case at a BBC Tiger Woods has denied he'd been | :08:02. | :08:03. | |
drinking when he was stopped whilst driving his car | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
in Florida yesterday morning. Police charged him with being under | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
the influence of alcohol - but the golfer has blamed | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
an unexpected reaction to some Prince Harry will attend the launch | :08:16. | :08:17. | |
of the UK's Invictus Games team and host his first | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
Buckingham Palace garden party. The Prince will meet | :08:24. | :08:25. | |
the 90-strong team, who will take on the challenge | :08:26. | :08:27. | |
of the Paralympic-style competition He's been the driving force behind | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
the Invictus Games for injured, wounded and sick servicemen | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
and women and veterans. That's a summary of the latest BBC | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
News - more at 9.30. Coming up in six minutes, the first | :08:40. | :08:54. | |
in our series of election blind dates, where we bring two people | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
with opposing political views together on a blind date over lunch | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
and they see if there are any areas where they agreed, or sparks | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
generally fly. What happens when they have a glass of wine or two? | :09:09. | :09:14. | |
Today, Nigel Farage and Rachel Johnson. She's a journalist. She has | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
a famous brother. Lily tweets if this isn't a joke, I am completely | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
speechless. It's coming up in five minutes. | :09:23. | :09:24. | |

Huddersfield Town are on a high after what happened yesterday. What | :09:31. | :09:40. | |
can we expect from them in the Premier League? That's right, it has | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
been a bit of a sporting soap opera. It is the story of this little-known | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
German manager named David Wagner, who lead a squad of relatively | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
unknown players to the richest league in the world. This has been a | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
fairy tale for fans. This is a team that have been waiting 45 years to | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
return to top-flight football. In the end, it took more than 113 | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
minutes of football, ending in a dramatic penalty shoot out against | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
Reading. It was Christopher Schindler scored the decisive | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
penalty. It certainly will not be easy for Huddersfield Town in the | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
Premier League. The constant pressure of relegation is something | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
they will have to get used to, but it is worth keeping an eye on David | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
Wagner, a German manager and former assistant to Liverpool manager | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
Jurgen Klopp. He was best man at his wedding. He has a meticulous eye for | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
detail. We have seen him exploiting the foreign markets with signings | :10:39. | :10:42. | |
like Christopher Schindler. It will be interesting to see how he | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
develops his existing formula in the Premier League in August. | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
Now, Arsene Wenger. We might hear more about his future today. Is he | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
going to get another contract at Arsenal? That is the question. We do | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
know that Arsene Wenger held a meeting with the owner Stan Kroenke | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
yesterday. The outcome remains unclear but the decision will be | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
relayed to directors at a board meeting later today. Wenger has of | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
course faced unprecedented criticism throughout this season, which ended | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
with the gunners finishing outside the top four for the first time in | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
20 years. But they did manage to beat Chelsea on Saturday to win the | :11:20. | :11:24. | |
FA Cup, which did make Wenger the most successful manager in the | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
competition's history. His departure would cause some disruption, but | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
things should be clearer later, when Arsenal release a statement and an | :11:33. | :11:38. | |
interview with Wenger tomorrow. Britain's sailors, led by Sir Ben | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
Ainslie, are quite behind the Americas cup qualifying. Can they | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
come back? It is already the halfway stage of this double round | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
qualifying series and as you say, Ben Ainslie and his team are fourth | :11:51. | :11:57. | |
-- have a fourth consecutive defeat yesterday, beaten by France. That | :11:58. | :12:01. | |
was certainly not in the script. It means Great Britain slipped down to | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
the third place in the table. They will be hoping to avoid an early | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
trip home. After the race, Ben Ainslie went on Twitter to admit it | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
wasn't the finest race, but it is time to hunker down, regroup and | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
come back fighting. They desperately need a win now. It is not out of the | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
question when you think back to 2013, when Ben Ainslie on Bottas | :12:28. | :12:35. | |
technician came back from a deficit to claim victory. Today, they will | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
face Sweden. That is the one thing they have beaten. But the Swedish | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
crew have stepped up their game since losing to GB on Saturday, so | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
they will have a fight on their hands. But unless they solve those | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
speed issues, the British team will be facing an early exit. More from | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
Holly throughout the morning when it comes to sport. | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
Over the next few days, we'll be bringing you a blind lunch date | :12:58. | :13:03. | |
between two politicians with very different views | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
First in the series, journalist Rachel Johnson - | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
who joined the Lib Dems because she wants the UK | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
to stay in the EU - went for a blind date with former | :13:19. | :13:25. | |
Ukip leader Nigel Farage at his private members' club. | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
Neither knew who they were meeting in advance - | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
but newly separated Nigel Farage told us he was rather | :13:31. | :13:32. | |
hoping it would be Boris Johnson's sister, | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
So this is how they got on - and a warning - there is some | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
There is an election on, and people are talking politics. | :13:41. | :13:51. | |
So what happens when you send two people | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
I'm nervous, my God, I have not done this for so long! | :13:57. | :14:05. | |
We will see people that choose to sign on and it angers me. | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
You look gloriously distinguished, slightly hunky. | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
When people stand at the dispatch box and | :14:20. | :14:28. | |
tell me there is more money in education, I wonder where it has | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
gone, because it is not in my children's school. | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
I've got to admit that they think of me | :14:35. | :15:03. | |
as sister of Boris, which is annoying, | :15:04. | :15:04. | |
I joined the Tories, but only for a few years. | :15:05. | :15:13. | |
I am very concerned that we don't | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
willy-nilly in terms of Brexit, | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
because I am thinking about my children and grandchildren, | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
waiting for grandchildren, not long now, I hope! | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
I was anxious it was going to be Michael Gove. | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
It could be possibly Douglas Carswell, he | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
regards me with utter disdain, so that could be interesting. | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
It would be great fun if it was Nigel Farage, | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
but he will drink me under the table. | :15:44. | :15:53. | |
I have got to play a tennis match after lunch! | :15:54. | :15:58. | |
I am Nigel Farage, I was in business for 20 years, I was | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
never involved in politics at all, so I gave up quite a normal life to | :16:02. | :16:05. | |
dedicate myself to what was considered to be fringe politics, | :16:06. | :16:07. | |
What I do know is I am meeting a fanatical Remainer, I know it | :16:08. | :16:17. | |
is a woman, I hope she likes a drink! | :16:18. | :16:19. | |
Before we get into your date, tell us what you | :16:20. | :16:44. | |
think of this man from what you know of him. | :16:45. | :16:47. | |
The problem with Nigel is he is impossible not to adore! | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
destroyed the country, turned the Tory party into Conkip | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
Nigel Farage, what do you think of Rachel Johnson? | :16:59. | :17:06. | |
Clearly deluded on this issue, but over a glass of something we | :17:07. | :17:14. | |
That is a very good question, a lot of | :17:15. | :17:22. | |
I am not very married at the moment, let's put it like that. | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
It is good to get to know each other's status. | :17:27. | :17:35. | |
I don't think anything would have survived what I have been doing | :17:36. | :17:47. | |
Not that I have been perfect, I am not, but it | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
Are you talking about work and infidelity? | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
The sheer nastiness and aggro that comes with this, the | :18:03. | :18:11. | |
whole hard left movement are now the Remainders. | :18:12. | :18:13. | |
That is not the reason for your marriage breakdown. | :18:14. | :18:23. | |
No help from the police, no help from the state, | :18:24. | :18:36. | |
nothing, so you literally never go out. | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
I have a theory, I don't think people cared | :18:39. | :18:50. | |
about Project Fear, I don't think people | :18:51. | :18:52. | |
care that the Eurozone will | :18:53. | :18:53. | |
boom and we are going to go off a cliff. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
It has become an ideology, and all they want is to say, we have | :18:58. | :19:00. | |
got our country back, without caring what that means. | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
The ideology is to lie to two dozen countries in | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
Europe, to tell them they are joining an economic club, and then | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
bit by bit to take away their democracy and independence. | :19:10. | :19:12. | |
That is the ideology, the flag, the anthem, | :19:13. | :19:14. | |
You are talking about democracy, why can't | :19:15. | :19:21. | |
Parliament have a proper look at the eventual deal? | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Because Parliament subcontracted it to the British | :19:26. | :19:27. | |
We have a parliamentary democracy, this is not | :19:28. | :19:32. | |
From where I sat, before we had Brexit, we were not in | :19:33. | :19:48. | |
Schengen, we were not in the Euro, we were not in the social chapter, | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
The good things were the bits we were not in. | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
I think he may have gone to the gents. | :19:58. | :20:17. | |
Do you think I have upset him already? | :20:18. | :20:21. | |
Send a search party for Nigel Farage. | :20:22. | :20:35. | |
Considering that you are on opposite sides of | :20:36. | :20:48. | |
the EU argument, this is a bit of a love in. | :20:49. | :21:03. | |
It has always had this chemistry, cannot help it! | :21:04. | :21:12. | |
There are lots of Remainers I like anyway. | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
What I cannot stand are politicians who have been so | :21:17. | :21:18. | |
dishonest about the subject all the way through the years. | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
The people who used to masquerade as Eurosceptics at | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
The referendum sorted people out in the end. | :21:27. | :21:35. | |
I could not help overhearing your conversation about potentially | :21:36. | :21:43. | |
thinking about standing for the European Parliament if Britain is | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
not out of the European Union by 2019. | :21:46. | :21:47. | |
If this confirmation that you are both | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Unless I can find myself a seat somewhere else. | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
You would fancy a seat in this country at Westminster? | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
You have tried to be an MP seven times. | :21:59. | :22:00. | |
I was not in politics for that, I was in politics to try to change | :22:01. | :22:22. | |
What would your brother think of this | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
What does your brother think of you joining | :22:28. | :22:45. | |
He takes a very dim view, but I have reassured | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
him that for me it is a single issue decision, and it is for this | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
I reserve my right to do whatever I like in perpetuity, | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
I can have a different political opinion. | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
YouGov says 45% want Brexit at any price. | :23:03. | :23:18. | |
Walk away tomorrow, two fingers up, go. | :23:19. | :23:23. | |
That is a problem, it is like vandalism. | :23:24. | :23:27. | |
23% want Brexit to happen but with a good deal. | :23:28. | :23:34. | |
What I don't understand is what is so good about | :23:35. | :23:47. | |
Why do you feel so strongly about it? | :23:48. | :23:57. | |
Leaving aside what is good about it, the fact we | :23:58. | :24:07. | |
have had peace and security and prosperity... | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
But that there are lots of reasons for that. | :24:14. | :24:15. | |
One of them is we are part of the EU, it has kept | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
Are you saying the Germans would have invaded again? | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
Because of the EU, the Germans have been a real force for | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
stability in Europe and an engine of growth. | :24:26. | :24:27. | |
Can we talk about something else now? | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
I must ask if the story about you snogging | :24:31. | :25:04. | |
A page-three model would have been OK! | :25:05. | :25:14. | |
What was she doing in business class? | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
You can't trust anybody, talk to anybody. | :25:18. | :25:34. | |
There I was, sitting at the bar having | :25:35. | :25:45. | |
dinner, somebody starts talking to you, what are you going to do? | :25:46. | :25:47. | |
You need a nice, steady Brexiter girlfriend, because then | :25:48. | :26:00. | |
you don't have to have the conversation with her all the time. | :26:01. | :26:03. | |
Like what you said to me, "I don't understand why do you feel so | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
You should be exchanging sweet nothings, you know you are | :26:08. | :26:11. | |
both on the same page, you both want out. | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
I still don't get why you feel so strongly. | :26:16. | :26:22. | |
I grew up in Brussels, I worked in Brussels. | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
Do you want a United States of Europe? | :26:26. | :26:33. | |
I liked what we had, I don't want to lose it. | :26:34. | :26:36. | |
Cameron did as much to lose the referendum as anybody else. | :26:37. | :26:38. | |
The deal was not good enough, so I almost | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
entirely hold him responsible, more than you. | :26:43. | :26:44. | |
Then when we went over the waterfall in a | :26:45. | :26:51. | |
bucket, he left Downing Street with a song in his heart. | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
Over the last 20 years, not much, which is why I am | :26:55. | :27:16. | |
It is sad your private life has fallen apart, | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
but you have done it for a noble cause. | :27:21. | :27:28. | |
You are Nigel Farage, that is the problem. | :27:29. | :27:35. | |
You will be fine, you cannot complain, you have | :27:36. | :27:50. | |
Douglas Carswell is fantastically smug about what has | :27:51. | :27:54. | |
He is one of the unhappiest people I have ever met. | :27:55. | :28:00. | |
He does not have your ability to connect with people. | :28:01. | :28:13. | |
The other big hobby which I have got, which used | :28:14. | :28:30. | |
What should I do with the rest of my life? | :28:31. | :29:08. | |
I think I am swimming against the tide | :29:09. | :29:14. | |
You will lose this one completely, but that is OK, | :29:15. | :29:20. | |
I wonder if I have made a terrible mistake. | :29:21. | :29:27. | |
It does not matter I am the butt of ridicule | :29:28. | :29:32. | |
from half the Cabinet for | :29:33. | :29:34. | |
I was asking Nigel what I should do with the rest of my life. | :29:35. | :29:46. | |
Have I destroyed any hope of any serious future? | :29:47. | :29:53. | |
How would you sum up your political first date? | :29:54. | :30:03. | |
It is interesting, because Rachel is seen in this | :30:04. | :30:07. | |
country as being a hardline Remainer, | :30:08. | :30:10. | |
but when you talk to her, she would | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
Had she told me that she supports a United States of | :30:14. | :30:22. | |
Europe and everything else, I would have been | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
able to understand why she | :30:25. | :30:25. | |
Do you think you have sacrificed your | :30:26. | :30:32. | |
I felt that as we were entering a one-party state on an issue | :30:33. | :30:40. | |
I believe to be wrong in every particular... | :30:41. | :30:43. | |
I felt I could not live with myself unless I made a | :30:44. | :30:45. | |
futile gesture and stood up to be counted, if only to be shot down. | :30:46. | :31:09. | |
How would you sum up your date with Nigel Farage? | :31:10. | :31:11. | |
Incredibly entertaining and infuriating. | :31:12. | :31:12. | |
I have gone from a Eurosceptic in France to | :31:13. | :31:20. | |
We can't afford a European army, but apart from that... | :31:21. | :31:32. | |
There is no point joining the Lib Dems. | :31:33. | :31:37. | |
In ten years, we will see whether it has been the | :31:38. | :31:39. | |
great success that you hoped for, and I hope for too, as I want things | :31:40. | :31:43. | |
In ten years, the EU will not exist anyway, so it will be a | :31:44. | :31:47. | |
On Twitter, they say this blind date is brilliant. Another says blind | :31:48. | :32:16. | |
date was a brilliant idea. Sean says there was definitely chemistry | :32:17. | :32:20. | |
there. Lily says this is vomit inducing, not newsworthy, giving | :32:21. | :32:23. | |
airtime to Farage yet again. He is irrelevant. And Conrad says stop | :32:24. | :32:29. | |
trying to normalise this divisive and hateful prat. Tomorrow, will | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
have the next one. What happened when Made | :32:33. | :32:37. | |

launching their general election manifesto later this morning. We | :33:11. | :33:14. | |
will talk to one of their senior politicians before 11. And we will | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
try and find out what is going on with Tiger Woods. The golfer has | :33:18. | :33:21. | |
been arrested for driving under the influence, but says alcohol was not | :33:22. | :33:22. | |
involved. Here's Joanna in the BBC Newsroom | :33:23. | :33:25. | |
with a summary of today's news. A zookeeper who died after a tiger | :33:26. | :33:28. | |
entered an enclosure at a wildlife park in Cambridgeshire has been | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
named as 33-year-old Rosa King. Hamerton Zoo Park in | :33:33. | :33:36. | |
Cambridgeshire will remain closed while an investigation continues | :33:37. | :33:38. | |
into the incident. Manchester Victoria Station has | :33:39. | :33:43. | |
reopened this morning after it was damaged in last | :33:44. | :33:45. | |
week's bomb attack. Last night, hundreds of people | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
gathered for a vigil at St Ann's Square to mark exactly | :33:50. | :33:52. | |
one week since 22 people were killed by a suicide bomber | :33:53. | :33:55. | |
at the Manchester Arena. With just over a week to go | :33:56. | :34:00. | |
until the general election, the Conservatives are focusing | :34:01. | :34:02. | |
on Brexit while Labour focus Last night, the leaders of both | :34:03. | :34:07. | |
parties faced questions Theresa May was questioned by Jeremy | :34:08. | :34:10. | |
Paxman on her stance on Brexit. We gave people the choice, | :34:11. | :34:14. | |
Jeremy, and the British people decided to leave | :34:15. | :34:24. | |
the European Union and I think it's important for them | :34:25. | :34:26. | |
to see their politicians delivering on that choice and | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
respecting the will of the people. Jeremy Corbyn was questioned about | :34:30. | :34:43. | |
his views on drone strikes and Northern Ireland. The Labour leader | :34:44. | :34:45. | |
had offended his stance on corporation tax. | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
This country is badly divided between the richest and the poorest. | :34:49. | :34:51. | |
You put corporate tax and tax at the top end down, | :34:52. | :34:54. | |
Are you happy that so many of our children are going to school | :34:55. | :35:02. | |
So many of our children are going to school hungry? | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
British Airways says it will operate a full schedule at Heathrow | :35:09. | :35:10. | |
and Gatwick today for the first time since the computer failure | :35:11. | :35:13. | |
on Saturday disrupted flights around the world. | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
The airline says its IT systems are now "back up | :35:18. | :35:19. | |
and running" but "significant numbers" of passengers | :35:20. | :35:21. | |
are still without their luggage, which could take some time | :35:22. | :35:24. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10am. | :35:25. | :35:34. | |
This is just in from the mother of Rosa King, the zookeeper who was | :35:35. | :35:40. | |
killed by a tiger at Hamerton Park Zoo. She has paid tribute to her | :35:41. | :35:45. | |
daughter honour saying of her dedication to her job, she wouldn't | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
have done anything else. It is what she has always done. It is what she | :35:49. | :35:54. | |
has always loved. That is from Rosa King's mum, Andrea King. We will | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
talk to a family member who was at the zoo yesterday when that tragedy | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
unfolded. Let's bring you the sport now. Holly is back. Coming up this | :36:06. | :36:12. | |
hour, it was the ?170 million match that means Huddersfield are in the | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
Premier League for the first time. They beat Reading in a dramatic | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
penalty shoot out to win the championship play-off final | :36:20. | :36:22. | |
yesterday. And in or out - Arsene Wenger's | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
future could become clearer later. Following crucial talks with | :36:29. | :36:31. | |
majority shareholder Stan Kroenke, club directors are expected to find | :36:32. | :36:35. | |
out whether he will be staying at the club. | :36:36. | :36:38. | |
Great Britain's sailors, led by Sir Ben Ainslie, need to come from | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
behind in Americas cup qualifying. They are four down after losing | :36:44. | :36:47. | |
against France and now take on the other five teams again over the next | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
few days, starting against Sweden today. | :36:52. | :36:53. | |
And Andy Murray starts his French Open later. The world number one | :36:54. | :36:59. | |
plays Russia's Andrey Kuznetsov. All that and more coming up at ten | :37:00. | :37:00. | |
o'clock. The people of Manchester paid | :37:01. | :37:02. | |
an emotional tribute last night to those who died in the bombing | :37:03. | :37:05. | |
exactly one week ago. Police investigating | :37:06. | :37:40. | |
the bombing have been searching a rubbish tip | :37:41. | :37:42. | |
on the outskirts of Bury. The city's Victoria train | :37:43. | :37:44. | |
station reopened at 5am. It's been closed since | :37:45. | :37:46. | |
last week's blast. We can speak to two of those people | :37:47. | :37:52. | |
whose courage and determination Lianne Shutt saved a stranger | :37:53. | :37:55. | |
with life-threatening injuries - she's in Salford - | :37:56. | :38:04. | |
and Zaf Naqui, a consultant orthopaedic surgeon at Salford Royal | :38:05. | :38:08. | |
NHS Foundation Trust who treated Lianne, once the attack had | :38:09. | :38:24. | |
happened, you helped your daughter and husband leave, but you returned | :38:25. | :38:29. | |
to help a dad and his daughter. Tell us what you saw. Yes, on Monday | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
evening when leaving the concourse in Manchester Arena, I came across a | :38:35. | :38:40. | |
gentleman and his daughter who was very distressed. I pulled them both | :38:41. | :38:50. | |
to safety on a road facing the main entrance of the MEN. An instinct | :38:51. | :38:57. | |
kicked in and I started to treat the wounds that he had. And what sort of | :38:58. | :39:07. | |
injuries were you helping with? There were several casualties this | :39:08. | :39:12. | |
evening, and the injuries were horrific. Mostly shrapnel wounds. | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
You ended up driving this dad and his daughter at high speed to the | :39:19. | :39:23. | |
hospital. Some have reported it as being 100 miles an hour. I am not | :39:24. | :39:26. | |
sure if that is accurate. Definitely not. I drove there as fast and as | :39:27. | :39:35. | |
safe as possible, given the circumstances with a casualty in the | :39:36. | :39:41. | |
car. And what were you thinking when you were on that journey? It was | :39:42. | :39:47. | |
just instinct to get the gentleman and his daughter, myself and my | :39:48. | :39:55. | |
husband to the nearest hospital and had him treated as soon as possible. | :39:56. | :40:02. | |
Clearly, the ambulances hadn't got to the exit you were at, is that | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
right? Yeah, I believe they were otherwise engaged at the other side | :40:08. | :40:10. | |
of the arena and time seemed to move so fast. We just needed to get these | :40:11. | :40:17. | |
casualties away on the seen and treated. Let me bring in Zaf, a | :40:18. | :40:24. | |
surgeon who volunteered to help in the hours after the Manchester | :40:25. | :40:30. | |
attack. The information you will talk about may upset some people, so | :40:31. | :40:35. | |
I wanted to let people know that. You went into work at 6am, because | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
that was when you new colleagues would have started to get tired. | :40:40. | :40:46. | |
Tell us what you faced when you arrived? First of all, our sympathy | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
and thoughts are still with all the relatives and victims. I had been | :40:53. | :41:03. | |
alerted overnight by a friend in Los Angeles, who said a bomb had gone | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
off. That was the first I knew about it and I had spoken to our on-call | :41:07. | :41:15. | |
team who went in. It rapidly became clear that this was not going to be | :41:16. | :41:20. | |
something we could deal with just overnight, so we decided to stagger | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
our entry into the hospital to relieve other surgeons. So as part | :41:24. | :41:29. | |
of the orthopaedic team, we went in and looked at all the injuries we | :41:30. | :41:35. | |
had on our watch and worked out how best to treat them in terms of the | :41:36. | :41:41. | |
number of staff we had a the number of theatres and what those patients | :41:42. | :41:47. | |
required. At Salford royal, we are a major trauma centre. So we received | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
the most severe category of injured patients. This meant that the | :41:53. | :41:57. | |
injuries involve all parts of the body. We had to work with other | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
surgeons on these patients in multiple theatres at the same time. | :42:04. | :42:09. | |
And you could see the impact of the metal bolts that were embedded in | :42:10. | :42:21. | |
people? Yes. The metal bolts were embedded throughout, unfortunately | :42:22. | :42:27. | |
from head to toe, in the brain, the head, face, neck, chest, abdomen, | :42:28. | :42:33. | |
pelvis and all of the limbs. There was no part of the body among the | :42:34. | :42:40. | |
group of patients that wasn't involved. Like I said, we had | :42:41. | :42:47. | |
neurosurgeons, general surgeons, vascular surgeons, orthopaedic and | :42:48. | :42:50. | |
trauma surgeons, plastic surgeons, ENT surgeons, all working together | :42:51. | :42:58. | |
for these patients. How do you reflect on the way that you and your | :42:59. | :43:00. | |
colleagues worked together last week? A week on, there are two | :43:01. | :43:10. | |
things that I have considered. Firstly, I am really proud of | :43:11. | :43:14. | |
everyone at Salford Royal and I am sure it is the same in the other | :43:15. | :43:17. | |
hospitals in Manchester, the way we somehow managed to coordinate and | :43:18. | :43:25. | |
collaborate. It was like clockwork. If you consider several hundred | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
people turning up at once, how we managed to organise ourselves is | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
what saved lives, in my opinion. It was something I have ever seen. I | :43:37. | :43:41. | |
have been a doctor for 20 years. It was incredible however one got to | :43:42. | :43:47. | |
work. We had surgeons crisscrossing across the city. The way we managed | :43:48. | :43:55. | |
to communicate and collaborate is probably what saved lives and limbs. | :43:56. | :44:04. | |
That is the first thing. He was a group effort. As a group, the | :44:05. | :44:15. | |
hospital treated dozens of patients and everyone made a contribution. | :44:16. | :44:28. | |
The second thing, when I think about it, is that there has been such a | :44:29. | :44:31. | |
great focus on the surgeons, of course. But actually, when I look | :44:32. | :44:42. | |
back at the first 24 hours, the cleaners, the domestic staff, the | :44:43. | :44:47. | |
caterers, the porters, people on switchboard, our junior doctors, our | :44:48. | :44:51. | |
managers, they all contributed to enable the whole system to work. So | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
in fact, as a simple example, how cleaners had turned up in the middle | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
of the night. They were cleaning cubicles in A like nobody's | :45:01. | :45:06. | |
business. All of these factors, the porters taking patients, contributed | :45:07. | :45:09. | |
to lives being saved. They need to be recognised, because they helped | :45:10. | :45:11. | |
tremendously. A monumental team effort, thank you, | :45:12. | :45:23. | |
I was just wondering Leanne if you had been able to keep in touch with | :45:24. | :45:28. | |
the person you drove to hospital? Yes, we have gained a great | :45:29. | :45:32. | |
friendship which will last for life, I went to see him at hospital on | :45:33. | :45:37. | |
Thursday and he is making a great recovery. That is good to hear, | :45:38. | :45:45. | |
thank you for talking to us. Still to come on the programme, the SNP | :45:46. | :45:50. | |
launch their general election manifesto at 11am, we will look at | :45:51. | :45:53. | |
some of the things which might be included. | :45:54. | :45:56. | |
An investigation's started into the death of a zoo | :45:57. | :45:58. | |
keeper who was killed by a tiger in Cambridgeshire. | :45:59. | :46:00. | |
Rosa King - who was 33 - died when the animal got | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
into an area where she was working at Hamerton Zoo Park. | :46:04. | :46:07. | |
Rosa's mother - Andrea - has been paying tribute | :46:08. | :46:10. | |
to her daughter, saying that she wouldn't have done | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
any other job and it was what she had always loved. | :46:15. | :46:17. | |
Rosa spoke to the BBC last year and was asked what she thought | :46:18. | :46:22. | |
about the view that keeping animals in zoos was cruel. | :46:23. | :46:33. | |
My personal opinion is that it is not. | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
We do a lot of work for conservation, a lot of breeding | :46:38. | :46:40. | |
to try and save the species, just like the Malayan tiger here. | :46:41. | :46:43. | |
There's only about 300 left in the wild, and they're being poached. | :46:44. | :46:46. | |
We can work on increasing the numbers. | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
We can speak to the wildlife expert from the one show, there must be | :46:52. | :47:01. | |
strict protocol for working with animals like these, tell us about | :47:02. | :47:07. | |
the rules which would be in place? First foremast I do not work for the | :47:08. | :47:15. | |
zoo community, and my condolences to the family. I know a lot of | :47:16. | :47:22. | |
zookeepers and work in a lot of zoological communities around the | :47:23. | :47:24. | |
world and I know they are an incredibly passionate bunch and are | :47:25. | :47:29. | |
very knowledgeable and they are mad keen on their animals. Some of the | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
most knowledgeable I have ever met or zookeepers. I have worked on | :47:34. | :47:38. | |
transporting tigers as part of a number of stories, we did a story | :47:39. | :47:45. | |
where we transported a tiger to a Yorkshire wildlife park and I saw | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
their first-hand how incredibly big and ferocious these animals are. | :47:50. | :47:56. | |
Also the very safe precautions they stab go through when working with | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
Tigers. First and foremost, zookeepers have told me that | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
actually the safest job in a zoo is frequently working with big cats | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
because the golden rule is you never go in with them, you have no | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
interactions with them whatsoever. When I have worked in any of the | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
movement of big cats around various zoos around Britain there is a | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
double gate policy, two locked gates between you and the animals and you | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
can only open one gate when the other is closed. I would not like to | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
speculate on what happened but normally they are very, very safe | :48:33. | :48:37. | |
animals to work with because of the strict protocols. Can I ask you more | :48:38. | :48:44. | |
broadly about keeping big cats, Tigers, in what will be to them a | :48:45. | :48:49. | |
very confined space and the stress it may put them under? The tiger is | :48:50. | :48:56. | |
endangered according to the criteria is of how endangered animal is, | :48:57. | :49:03. | |
something like just under 4000 left and they only exist in about 6% of | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
their original territory worldwide. But even no bar are only 4000 in the | :49:10. | :49:15. | |
wild there are something like 13,000 in captivity which is astonishing | :49:16. | :49:20. | |
and the vast majority are held in responsible locations where they | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
have protocols in place. But sometimes there can be a huge number | :49:27. | :49:31. | |
held by individuals in less than ideal situations. So there are a | :49:32. | :49:35. | |
huge number in captivity and I would say the vast majority are incredibly | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
well looked after but this is an animal that covers huge areas, | :49:40. | :49:47. | |
effectively alone, Tigers are not sociable animals like lions. They | :49:48. | :49:55. | |
will frequently have territory, so obviously keeping them, an animal | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
which may be captive bred and may know nothing about living in the | :49:59. | :50:05. | |
wild, in a small area, is potentially, to some people | :50:06. | :50:08. | |
unnatural. I personally think that zoos do great jobs in terms of | :50:09. | :50:13. | |
preservation but you must know what you are doing with the animal and | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
understand its psychology and how to enrich its life. Stay with us, I am | :50:19. | :50:26. | |
going to bring in Stephen, his sister was killed in a tiger attack | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
at the zoo in Cumbria in 2013, thank you for talking to us. Hello. I | :50:33. | :50:38. | |
wonder how you respond to the death of Rosa King? I know what her family | :50:39. | :50:49. | |
is going through right now. It's a rare, unusual situation to lose your | :50:50. | :50:52. | |
life in and because of that it will be all over the news, as we are | :50:53. | :51:00. | |
right now. My thoughts go out to the family, absolutely. Can you remind | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
our audience what happened to your sister? She was in the tiger | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
enclosure for her regular maintenance as part of her job and a | :51:10. | :51:14. | |
system of doors that was supposed to keep the animal separate from her | :51:15. | :51:18. | |
when she was in there did not work, was not maintained properly. It got | :51:19. | :51:26. | |
in there and she lost her life. We don't know what has happened at the | :51:27. | :51:33. | |
Hammerton Park zoo in Cambridge, an investigation is ongoing, they have | :51:34. | :51:36. | |
said in a statement it was a freak accident. Well, that's obviously | :51:37. | :51:42. | |
something else I thought of when I heard the news, when Sarah did four | :51:43. | :51:51. | |
years back, before any investigation the zoo came out and said it must | :51:52. | :51:57. | |
have been her fault. So it's comforting in some ways to cure this | :51:58. | :52:02. | |
zoo claiming it is an accident and sending their thoughts to the | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
family, that is a big difference between this one and when Sarah | :52:06. | :52:17. | |
died. In the end of the zoo in Cumbria was fined because it did not | :52:18. | :52:22. | |
properly assess the risks of a defective bolt on a door? Yes they | :52:23. | :52:28. | |
were found guilty in court despite them trying to put the blame on | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
Sarah initially. It was legally deemed to be their fault. You have | :52:33. | :52:43. | |
said you think zoos do an incredible job because some of these big cats | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
are endangered species but I wonder what impact it does have an animal | :52:48. | :52:55. | |
when it is in captivity? The fact of the matter is that a lot of | :52:56. | :53:00. | |
organisations are trying to breed tigers, there is. Tigers may well | :53:01. | :53:07. | |
be, zoos may well be the saviours of tigers if the habitat destruction | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
and the poaching continues. There has been good news of tigers in the | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
wild, in the last year or so the population in the wild seems to have | :53:16. | :53:24. | |
slightly increased. I think the more zoos can do in terms of education, | :53:25. | :53:29. | |
the days of taking a tiger from the wild and putting it into the zoo is | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
long gone, these are all captive bred animals who have never known | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
anything other than being in a captive location so I think they | :53:39. | :53:41. | |
serve an enormously important function. I just hope there is not | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
an immediate reaction and people realise this is a majestic wonderful | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
animal worth conserving and worth visiting, if you are not lucky | :53:52. | :53:59. | |
enough to go out to Russia or India to try and spot one of these animals | :54:00. | :54:04. | |
in the wild. Thank you, I think we can talk to someone at the zoo with | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
his family when it happened, Pete Davies, can you hear me? Hello. | :54:10. | :54:15. | |
Thank you, tell us what happened from your point of view? We were on | :54:16. | :54:22. | |
a normal family day out, first time visiting the zoo, got there at 10am | :54:23. | :54:28. | |
when it opened and got around to the whole zoo, ending up at the tiger | :54:29. | :54:35. | |
enclosure which was about ten past 11, there was a guy in front of us | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
taking photographs all the way around, we were in one part where | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
the lines were and he was in the park next to us and he came running | :54:45. | :54:49. | |
past as fast as he could and we thought something was going on and | :54:50. | :54:53. | |
he came back 30 seconds later with five, six zoo keepers. All of them | :54:54. | :55:00. | |
running down. We heard a scream and then one of the zoo keepers shouted | :55:01. | :55:12. | |
for us to run. We went to a small office, the whole family inside the | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
office for about ten minutes with some other people, about eight of us | :55:16. | :55:20. | |
altogether. We waited until it was clear to come out, they set tweet | :55:21. | :55:28. | |
said come out, we were working our way up to the top and we were still | :55:29. | :55:33. | |
watching what was going on, all the zoo keepers distressed, heads in | :55:34. | :55:40. | |
their hands, a couple of them had buckets full of meat they were | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
throwing over the enclosure. But yeah, we ended up just having to go, | :55:46. | :55:51. | |
but that is bad for all the people that work there as well as the | :55:52. | :55:55. | |
family because they are all young adults, or most of them are, and to | :55:56. | :55:59. | |
witness something like that will live with them for a long time I | :56:00. | :56:05. | |
would imagine. From what you have described, the initial feeling was | :56:06. | :56:07. | |
potentially that there could have been a big cat that had escaped? | :56:08. | :56:15. | |
Well when somebody tells you to run and you are at the end of a lion | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
enclosure, tiger enclosure, you do what they say. But initially I did | :56:20. | :56:23. | |
not think there was any animals outside. You just run and take cover | :56:24. | :56:29. | |
and then gather your thoughts and then we realised nothing had | :56:30. | :56:33. | |
escaped, it was all inside the enclosure. Yeah, initially, it is | :56:34. | :56:41. | |
worrying when you hear that. Thank you very much. Pete Davies who was | :56:42. | :56:49. | |
at the Hamerton Zoo Park when the attack happened. And thank you Mike, | :56:50. | :56:58. | |
the wildlife expert from One Show. And thank you to Steve and his | :56:59. | :57:01. | |
sister was killed at a tiger attack in a zoo in Cumbria in 2013. Coming | :57:02. | :57:08. | |
up to 10am, the latest news and sport in a moment and the weather | :57:09. | :57:11. | |
but before that thank you for your many messages about election blind | :57:12. | :57:17. | |
dates. Barry says the best piece of coverage I have seen since the | :57:18. | :57:21. | |
election was called, light-hearted fun, just what we need right now. | :57:22. | :57:26. | |
Stevens says brilliant TV, more please. Chris says it is very | :57:27. | :57:34. | |
enjoyable. John says it is funny, even when Nigel Farage is taking | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
part, he comes across as smug, arrogant and vomit inducing. Another | :57:40. | :57:45. | |
says something on the programme which makes Nigel Farage seem nice. | :57:46. | :57:50. | |
Another saying the only problem was looking at and listening to Nigel | :57:51. | :57:55. | |
Farage. Wayne said they were both incredibly charming and | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
entertaining. Victoria a class act. I used to be a waitress in my | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
teenage years at a restaurant in Rochdale so I have a lot of | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
experience. Tomorrow find out what happened when Toff from Made In | :58:09. | :58:18. | |
Chelsea met Jackman row. Time for the weather? | :58:19. | :58:24. | |
A bit mild, lots of cloud around, the extent of the cloud on the | :58:25. | :58:33. | |
satellite picture but also some breaks, in Worcestershire some | :58:34. | :58:40. | |
sunshine, blue skies breaking through, I think the process will | :58:41. | :58:45. | |
continue for many of us as we go to the afternoon, brighter skies and | :58:46. | :58:50. | |
the odd shower here and there, particularly towards north-western | :58:51. | :58:55. | |
parts of the UK. Cold front moving its way through Northern Ireland | :58:56. | :59:02. | |
into Scotland, some fresher brighter conditions behind it, less humid | :59:03. | :59:06. | |
than the last few days. Sunny spells in Northern Ireland. For Northern | :59:07. | :59:13. | |
England shower is particularly across north-western part of | :59:14. | :59:17. | |
England, towards the north-east something brighter, sunshine | :59:18. | :59:20. | |
breaking through the cloud in central parts of Wales and inland | :59:21. | :59:26. | |
parts of England. Temperatures getting up to 20, 21, maybe 22 | :59:27. | :59:32. | |
Celsius. Clear skies across the North will continue to spread south | :59:33. | :59:38. | |
as it does so we will seek older air filtering across many Northern | :59:39. | :59:42. | |
areas, comfortable night for sleeping, temperatures down to low | :59:43. | :59:48. | |
single figures. Further south we will see mild air hanging on about | :59:49. | :59:56. | |
13 or 14 degrees. Into Wednesday high-pressure starting to build from | :59:57. | :00:02. | |
the south, as it does so it will settle down and saw a drier and | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
brighter day for most of us, cloud towards south Wales and South West | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
England, for most lots of sunshine during the afternoon and with it | :00:12. | :00:15. | |
feeling quite pleasant with light winds, maximum temperatures up to | :00:16. | :00:21. | |
18, 19 degrees, 20, 20 three degrees across the South. For Thursday | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
driver most of England and Wales but for Scotland and Northern Ireland we | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
have got more rain spreading, 17 Celsius, the breeze picking up, | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
further south and east it will be drier with bright spells and again | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
feeling quite warm, temperatures up to about 25 degrees. | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |
Our top story: Tributes are paid to Rosa Park, | :00:52. | :00:53. | |
the zookeeper killed by a tiger yesterday. | :00:54. | :00:55. | |
Her mother says she won't have done any other job. | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
When someone says to you run and you're in the end of a lion or tiger | :01:04. | :01:19. | |
enclosure, you do what they say. Heroes of the Manchester tireor | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
attack tell us what they experienced. | :01:26. | :01:27. | |
I was incredible really, how everyone got to work. | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
And we'll be talking to Jonathan Trott about | :01:33. | :01:36. | |

Now over to the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news. | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
park in Cambridgeshire has been named as 33-year-old Rosa King. | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
Hamerton Zoo Park in Cambridgeshire will remain closed | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
while an investigation continues into the incident. | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Her family said she was dedicated to her job | :02:03. | :02:04. | |
and wouldn't have done anything else. | :02:05. | :02:08. | |
Manchester Victoria Station has reopened this morning | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
after it was damaged in last week's bomb attack. | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
Last night, hundreds of people gathered for a vigil | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
at St Ann's Square to mark exactly one week since 22 people | :02:15. | :02:17. | |
were killed by a suicide bomber at the Manchester Arena. | :02:18. | :02:22. | |
With just over a week to go until the general election, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
the Conservatives are focusing on Brexit | :02:26. | :02:26. | |
while Labour focus on childcare policies. | :02:27. | :02:29. | |
Last night, the leaders of both parties faced questions | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
Theresa May was questioned by Jeremy Paxman on her stance on Brexit. | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
We gave people the choice Jeremy and the British | :02:41. | :02:46. | |
people decided to leave the European Union and I | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
think it's important for them to see their politicians | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
delivering on that choice and respecting the will of the people. | :02:53. | :02:56. | |
Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn was quizzed about his views on drone strikes, | :02:57. | :02:59. | |
tax-raising plans and past campaigning in Northern Ireland. | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
In a question and answer session with the studio audience, | :03:03. | :03:05. | |
the Labour leader defended his stance on corporation tax. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
This country is badly divided between the richest and the poorest. | :03:10. | :03:14. | |
You put corporate tax and tax at the top end down, | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
Are you happy that so many of our children are going to school | :03:19. | :03:24. | |
So many of our children are going to school hungry? | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
British Airways says it will operate a full schedule at Heathrow and | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
Gatwick today for the first time since the computer failure | :03:34. | :03:36. | |

The Prince will meet the 90-strong team, who will take on the challenge | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
of the Paralympic-style competition at the Toronto Games in September. | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
He's been the driving force behind the Invictus Games for injured, | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
wounded and sick servicemen and women and veterans. | :04:20. | :04:22. | |

it as a fairytale as Huddersfield reach the top flight for the first | :05:36. | :05:42. | |
time in 45 years. Liam Moore and Jordan Obita missed | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
from the spot for Reading. But it was Christopher Schindler | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
who scored the decisive penalty - sending Huddersfield to the Premier | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
League for the first time. Their promotion is worth around | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
?170 million to the club. This is a fairy tale which is | :05:55. | :06:06. | |
usually not possible. But they've continue it. We are very, very | :06:07. | :06:11. | |

struggle a little bit just now. That will help me get through it quicker, | :07:25. | :07:26. | |
I believe. It's set to be an uphill struggle | :07:27. | :07:27. | |
for Ben Ainslie and his crew - after Great Britain suffered | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
a fourth consecutive defeat The team made an error around | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
the third turn yesterday It means they're now | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
third in the standings. They'll now take on the other five | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
teams again over the next few days - They ground us down and got the win. | :07:43. | :07:54. | |
We're clearly disappointed with that. We have to go away. Look at | :07:55. | :07:59. | |
our development programme, our configuration for the coming days. | :08:00. | :08:04. | |
And make improvements. That's the sport. I'll have the latest in | :08:05. | :08:06. | |
around 30 minutes' time. The largest party in Scotland | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
the SNP is launching its manifesto It includes a plan to invest | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
an additional ?118 billion Nicola Sturgeon will also promise | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
to give Scotland a strong voice Our reporter Jim Reed has | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
been speaking to voters across the southern | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
part of Scotland. We're expect that can launch about | :08:28. | :08:39. | |
11.00. Nicola Sturgeon speaking live on the news channel at that time. | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
You've touched on some of the things we're expecting to hear. A possible | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
increase in the minimum wage. Focus on immigration. If you're wondering | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
why this manifesto launch is coming so late, a week or so ahead of the | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
vote, it was meant to take place last Tuesday. Got delayed because of | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
those terror attacks in Manchester. Before that date, we spent some time | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
in the southern part of Scotland really interesting area from a | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
political point of view. There's three constituencies or seats there | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
along the border with England in Scotland. Two of them held by the | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
SNP. One by the Conservatives. All very close at the moment. Expect a | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
big fight, tussle, this time round. We spent some time travelling | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
through, speaking to voters. We finished in the very south-west of | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
Scotland in Stranraer. We started further towards the east in the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
market town of Selkirk in the Scottish Borders. | :09:36. | :09:38. | |
We've had five years of not knowing what's going to happen. | :09:39. | :09:41. | |
We've have the independence of Scotland, we had Brexit. | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
They're so busy ranting on about independence | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
It's like they don't want to hear our words, | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
it's like they don't want to hear what we have to say. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
A week after the general election, the tradesmen of Selkirk | :09:56. | :10:03. | |
will perform at Common Riding, a tradition going back centuries | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
In the recent independence referendum, this region voted | :10:07. | :10:14. | |
Not everyone, though, is excited about yet | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
If they would just tell you there's a general election, | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
send you the pamphlets and stuff like that, let you get on with it. | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
But it's on the television, every night and day after day, | :10:31. | :10:32. | |
I'm interested, I must admit, much more so than normal. | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
Purely because I'm very much Unionist rather than Independent, | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
and therefore I think this is really important. | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
So for you, it's about independence, this? | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
It's an area that needs strong local people leading us, | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
because we can often be forgotten about, in this neck of the woods. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
Everywhere you look here, you see signs of a rich past, | :10:59. | :11:01. | |
giant mills that once drove a thriving textile industry. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
But most of those skilled jobs have gone, replaced by huge call centres. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
Work tends to be short-term, and just above the minimum wage. | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
He welcomes the call centre jobs, but worries about the future. | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
The disadvantages are that they aren't really permanent, | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
they're mostly temporary, they don't really last that long. | :11:31. | :11:33. | |
Do you sit there frustrated by that, or do you try to do | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
How do you feel about the fact there is less opportunity | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Well, I can't really do anything about the less opportunities. | :11:41. | :11:43. | |
All I can really do is have a voice, and my vote really matters. | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
Alan is planning to vote for the Scottish National Party next week. | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
I voted yes for independence last time, but the referendum isn't | :11:51. | :11:53. | |
the main reason for me to vote for the SNP. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
I've got to know my MPs, and locally they are more | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
And you don't feel the Conservatives, | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
or the Liberal Democrats, or Labour can offer | :12:09. | :12:09. | |
Well, Labour only mentioned their plan for Scotland in 115 words | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
In fairness to Labour, it has now published a separate | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
As for this region, there has been new investment. | :12:23. | :12:28. | |
The train line to Edinburgh has reopened. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
But, at a drop-in centre for unemployed young people, | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
there's a definite sense of being forgotten by the parties. | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
The British elections, the general elections, | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
it's like they don't want to hear our words, | :12:41. | :12:42. | |
it's like they don't want to hear what we have to say. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
I don't think they are dealing with any of the sort | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
You know, like lack of jobs, or anything like that. | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
They're just focused on the big issues, like coming out | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
It's been overshadowed a lot, and that's not so great. | :13:01. | :13:07. | |
The SNP totally dominates Scottish politics at the moment, | :13:08. | :13:17. | |
But in this part of the country, the southern part of Scotland, | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
The Conservatives have been pushing an anti-independence message very, | :13:25. | :13:31. | |
very hard, hoping to hang onto the one Scottish seat | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
they currently hold, and maybe pick up a couple of seats | :13:35. | :13:36. | |
We drive west to another constituency. | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
Dumfries is still a busy market town, but like many high streets, | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
We're here to meet two viewers who messaged the programme. | :13:48. | :13:55. | |
First up, John Dowson, who's lived here for 30 years. | :13:56. | :14:05. | |
He said he cal edge enned to us come to Dumfries. | :14:06. | :14:10. | |
Dumfries is suffering from online shopping and supermarkets | :14:11. | :14:12. | |
John is part of a community project to buy up disused shops | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
For years a Labour supporter, he voted for Scottish independence, | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
Brexit is crucial to him, so at 69 years old, he just | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
might vote Conservative for the first time. | :14:28. | :14:29. | |
I have a difficulty, because I'm tempted to vote Conservative. | :14:30. | :14:34. | |
But, I want to vote for independence, that's | :14:35. | :14:36. | |
But I don't want to see us gain independence as a Scottish country, | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
to get freedom from Westminster, only to become | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
So, which way are you thinking at the moment? | :14:46. | :14:50. | |
That's between me and the ballot box! | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
So, if you did vote Conservative, would this be the first time | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
you would've voted Conservative in your life? | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
If I do that, yes it would be, and it will be the same | :15:01. | :15:03. | |
for many Labour voters, and many SNP voters. | :15:04. | :15:06. | |
On the other side, Morag Paterson, who lives in the centre | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
Jeremy Corbyn was undoubtedly attacked over | :15:11. | :15:24. | |
I think he's stood up to all the criticism really well, | :15:25. | :15:30. | |
with a lot of strength, a lot of integrity. | :15:31. | :15:32. | |
I believe in what he stands for, and I like his style of politics. | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
Here's where it gets complicated again. | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
Morag is a strong Jeremy Corbyn supporter. | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
She is on the fence on Scottish independence, and voted | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
In this election, though, she says she is not voting Labour. | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
I've voted for all the parties during my lifetime. | :15:51. | :15:54. | |
Well, with the exception of the extreme right. | :15:55. | :15:56. | |
But, this time round I'll be voting SNP, because I really | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
do not want to see a Tory majority in Westminster. | :16:00. | :16:01. | |
As a Jeremy Corbyn supporter, how do you feel about not voting | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
I can't vote for him here, because it's a tight race | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
I mean, if the polls change in the very close run-up, | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
But, I am campaigning for the SNP and Labour using social media, | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
because I think for England, Labour is a good answer. | :16:19. | :16:20. | |
You know, in Scotland, it's a different situation. | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
Dumfries and Galloway is the sixth-largest | :16:28. | :16:29. | |
constituency in the whole UK, with a huge farming sector. | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
Most voters live a decent drive from the towns. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
28-year-old Colin Ferguson is part of a farming family. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
This place, with around 350 dairy cattle, is | :16:43. | :16:44. | |
In a second cow shed, week-old calves are being fed by hand. | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
Colin voted to leave the EU last year, a step into the unknown, | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
We've had five years of not knowing what's going to happen. | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
We've had the independence in Scotland, we've had the Brexit, | :17:03. | :17:05. | |
we've made all those decisions, what we need to do now | :17:06. | :17:07. | |
So all this talk of a second referendum... | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
It's the same as the Scottish independence referendum, | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
Brexit, we decided to leave, accept it, move on. | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
The longer we sit about not knowing where we're going to be | :17:22. | :17:24. | |
in five years' time, the more businesses suffer, | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
The farming community in Scotland was split on Brexit. | :17:27. | :17:32. | |
Many others are worried about exports and how | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
But, on this farm at least, Colin and his father are prepared | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
to give the government the benefit of the doubt. | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Do you trust the people there at the moment, | :17:45. | :17:46. | |
Theresa May and the government, to get these questions | :17:47. | :17:48. | |
We'll tell you after they've done it. | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
I don't trust the politicians, but they're there for a reason. | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
Seats like this one are complex, so close, with so many unknowns. | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
The result here will be watched very carefully, | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
We can speak now to Stewart Hosie - the SNP's spokesperson | :18:09. | :18:17. | |
on the economy - who joins us ahead of the manifesto launch from Perth. | :18:18. | :18:25. | |
How do you view the prospect of a former SNP voters considering voting | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
Conservative this time because they do not want a second referendum? I | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
think the package you just had was fascinating, Labour voters talking | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
about voting SNP tactically, other SNP people sticking with us, others | :18:45. | :18:48. | |
concerned about independents or boarding to leave the EU, I think | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
the package showed the complexity of real voters in real seats. The | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
argument of what we all have to do is make a strong case which covers | :18:59. | :19:04. | |
all of the issues. When I hear these things I am not dreadfully | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
surprised. What I am confident about is what I am seeing in the polls | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
which is ask somewhere around the mid-40s, people satisfied with the | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
performance of the Scottish Government and after today's | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
manifesto launch enthused about what we will bring to the table at | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
Westminster. I wonder how many people are enthused about the fact | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
that Scotland recorded its worst ever performance when it comes to | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
education in an international survey last year following from 11th to | :19:35. | :19:40. | |
23rd in Reading, 24th in maths and 19th in science under your party | :19:41. | :19:47. | |
leadership? Kill obviously those are disappointing results but what you | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
need to understand is that was a Sample survey, not the data for all | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
peoples. When you look at pupils across the country you do not get | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
the results you saw in that Sample survey, you get 83% or more on or | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
above the required standard. Last but survey was disappointing and | :20:09. | :20:17. | |
nobody will say it was not, when you look at the whole survey you get | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
more accurate data. The waiting time is for hospital admissions have been | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
repeatedly missed, what is going on there? There is record funding and | :20:31. | :20:38. | |
given the cuts Scotland has had to suffer, about 2.9 billion, that is | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
remarkable, more doctors and consultants and nurses across the | :20:45. | :20:45. | |
piece. it's better than the rest of the UK. | :20:46. | :21:07. | |
I have looked at the graphs, they are going down. As with every part | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
of the UK there are always challenges when it comes to the | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
health service. What I would say to viewers in Scotland, if you think | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
the performance in Scotland is bad and it's the best in the UK, I would | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
look at the privatised NHS South of the border and ask that you want the | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Scottish National Party pumping record amounts of money into the NHS | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
to protect and preserve it or do you want | :21:35. | :21:46. | |
to see a privatised under somebody like Jeremy Hunt? The answer would | :21:47. | :21:50. | |
be a categorical support for the SNP support. You want control of | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
immigration, you want that sector devolved, explain why? Scotland is | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
not full up, our population has risen but we are not full, we need | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
more people to come and grow our economy. The argument about | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
immigration in Scotland is different to the argument against immigration | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
south of the border. There is an acceptance by all parties that | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
managed immigration, bringing in skilled workers is a good thing for | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
the economy. We want to control that, it is not good enough for | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
Tories to suddenly say Scotland is an unattractive place, bring in more | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
people, by denying us the right to control our own immigration policy, | :22:28. | :22:31. | |
it is bonkers. It should be controlled in Scotland to meet | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
Scottish needs. Do you have a target of how many more emigrants you want | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
in Scotland or is it to do with the needs of the economy? You managed | :22:40. | :22:45. | |
immigration on the needs of the economy. The Tories have got it | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
wrong with net figures, you cannot set a target because you don't know | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
how many people believe, you don't know how many pensioners in the | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
south of England might go and live in Spain for example. That impacts | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
your net migration figures, these targets are bonkers which is why | :23:06. | :23:08. | |
George Osborne disagreed so profoundly with weak and wobbly | :23:09. | :23:16. | |
Theresa May. Thank you very much, Nicola Sturgeon will be live on the | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
news channel launching her election manifesto, the SNP leader, you can | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
see that at 11am on the BBC News Channel. | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
a dishevelled Tiger Woods, bleary-eyed and unshaven - | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
a picture that will no doubt haunt him for years to come. | :23:39. | :23:40. | |
It was taken after his arrest for driving under the influence. | :23:41. | :23:43. | |
Tiger Woods was one of the world's most successful golfers - | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
he totally dominated the sport winning 14 championships | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
and was the number one for eight of the years he played. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
But that all collapsed in 2009 when he revealed he had had multiple | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
extra marital affairs and issued this public apology | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
The issue involved here was my repeated irresponsible behaviour. I | :23:57. | :24:13. | |
was unfaithful. I had a fair 's, I cheated. What I did is not | :24:14. | :24:19. | |
acceptable. And I am the only person to blame. I stopped living by the | :24:20. | :24:26. | |
core values that I was taught to believe in. I knew my actions were | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
wrong but I convinced myself that normal rules did not apply. I never | :24:32. | :24:39. | |
thought about who I was hurting. Instead I thought only about myself. | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
I ran straight through the boundaries that a married couple | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
should live by. I thought I could get away with whatever I wanted. I | :24:51. | :24:55. | |
felt I had worked hard my entire life and deserved to enjoy all the | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
temptations around me. I felt I was entitled. Thanks to money and fame I | :25:03. | :25:10. | |
did not have far, I did not have to go far to find them. I was wrong, I | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
was foolish. I don't get to play by different rules. The same boundaries | :25:17. | :25:23. | |
that apply to everyone apply to me. I brought this shame on myself. I | :25:24. | :25:31. | |
heard my wife, my kids, my mother, my wife's family, my friends, my | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
foundation, and kids all around the world who admired me. I've had a lot | :25:40. | :25:45. | |
of time to think about what I have done. My failures have made me look | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
at myself in a way I never wanted to the fore. It's now up to me to make | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
amends and that starts by never repeating the mistakes I've made. | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
It's up to me to start living a life of integrity. I once heard, and I | :26:07. | :26:15. | |
believe it's true, it's not what you achieve in life that matters. It's | :26:16. | :26:19. | |
what you overcome. Achievements on the golf course are only part of | :26:20. | :26:29. | |
setting an example. Character, and decency, are what really count. | :26:30. | :26:32. | |
Now he's blamed his arrest in the early hours of Monday morning | :26:33. | :26:45. | |
on an "unexpected reaction to prescribed medication" - | :26:46. | :26:47. | |
We can speak now to Former Ryder Cup Captain Bernard Gallacher | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
and David Alexander, a Sports Publicist who worked | :26:52. | :26:53. | |
on a media campaign with Tiger Woods in 2006. | :26:54. | :26:55. | |
Bernard Coll I hope you can hear me OK. I can, thank you,. What do you | :26:56. | :27:06. | |
think of this? When he says it wasn't alcohol, I think we have to | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
believe him. It was a prescription drug, probably painkillers for the | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
back operations he has been having but at the same time, I did not like | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
the look of his mugshot, must be one of the worst that has ever been | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
taken and it has not done him any favours. I don't know how he gets | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
out of this one. But I did not think he was a drinker, he has no | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
reputation for being in a bar or drinking, this was definitely | :27:39. | :27:41. | |
related to the painkilling prescription drugs he is on. Is this | :27:42. | :27:49. | |
the end of his career? We're coming to the end of the Tiger's career | :27:50. | :27:53. | |
whether we like it or not because he's just not fit enough to play the | :27:54. | :27:58. | |
modern game. He had a very athletic golf swing, hit the ball for miles, | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
every part of his game was good. Golf is a twisting rotary type of | :28:04. | :28:09. | |
action and anyone who has this sustained period of back problems | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
and back operations, it's difficult to see him coming back to anywhere | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
near the level he was before. But saying that, he is determined to | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
come back in some sort of way. But it will be in a very limited | :28:24. | :28:30. | |
capacity. Let me bring in David Alexander, sports publicist, what | :28:31. | :28:34. | |
advice would you be giving him right now? First of all I think it's | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
surprising he has not put his statement out on all this social | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
media channels, if you look on his website there is no statement. He | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
just gave the statement to USA Today and allowed them to share it with | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
other people. My advice to him would be to talk directly to his fans, | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
because they are the people who at the end of the day are helping hand | :28:56. | :28:59. | |
make as much money as he has even when his career has been slipping. | :29:00. | :29:05. | |
He made $45 million last year which pits in the top 15 in the world. He | :29:06. | :29:09. | |
needs to talk to them directly and not just through one journalist | :29:10. | :29:15. | |
issuing a statement. Do you feel sorry for him? I do not, I think | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
there was an image of Tiger Woods as a robotic, superb golfer. He was the | :29:21. | :29:26. | |
first African-American to break through in a predominantly white | :29:27. | :29:31. | |
sport. Very successful. But we all never saw a sanitised version of him | :29:32. | :29:35. | |
and when you build someone up to such a high degree they are always | :29:36. | :29:38. | |
going to fall further and further and further. He has learnt a lesson | :29:39. | :29:42. | |
already so far by putting out a statement straightaway which he did | :29:43. | :29:45. | |
not do after the problems he suffered in 2009, it took him three | :29:46. | :29:50. | |
months before we got the statement we just saw. But he has only to one | :29:51. | :30:00. | |
journalist. Burner do you feel sorry for him? I do, in a way. Tiger Woods | :30:01. | :30:07. | |
has been a great player, he's got to the very top in golf, all the | :30:08. | :30:11. | |
prejudice in America which went with it. He's just been fantastic. But I | :30:12. | :30:18. | |
agree with what Mr Alexander says, he has brought a lot of this on | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
himself. But we all try to make allowances, I would like to see a | :30:24. | :30:29. | |
great player like Tiger comeback. Golf, the great thing about golf is | :30:30. | :30:34. | |
that golf seems to have got by without Tiger, there was a case not | :30:35. | :30:40. | |
so long ago when he did give up for a file in 2009, TV ratings in | :30:41. | :30:46. | |
America went to the floor when he left the sport and that seems to | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
have recovered now so golf can live without him. But there is nothing I | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
would like better than to see Tiger playing against a Rory McIlroy, | :30:55. | :31:02. | |
Justin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, I would like to see him fighting | :31:03. | :31:05. | |
against those type of players who have taken over his mantle since he | :31:06. | :31:10. | |
dropped out of the game, that is what I would like. I wonder David | :31:11. | :31:15. | |
Alexander as a sports publicist you might suggest he concentrates now on | :31:16. | :31:17. | |
his golf foundation? If you look at his website it says | :31:18. | :31:28. | |
redefining what it means to be a champion. It should be someone | :31:29. | :31:32. | |
setting a great example. Over the last few years we've seen anything | :31:33. | :31:38. | |
but the exemplary behaviour to young people and to inspire them. We also | :31:39. | :31:44. | |
know top sports people, top actors, people are not perfect. Absolutely | :31:45. | :31:53. | |
but you have to position yourself in a way that doesn't portray yourself | :31:54. | :31:56. | |
as perfect which is what he was doing in his early days of success. | :31:57. | :32:03. | |
When I worked with him in 2006, none of the publicists were allowed near | :32:04. | :32:07. | |
him because he wanted to keep a close circle so people didn't really | :32:08. | :32:11. | |
get to understand what the real person was. That's why his fall's | :32:12. | :32:15. | |
been so pronounced. Thank you very much. | :32:16. | :32:21. | |
Still to come. We'll talk to former England cricketer Jonathan Trott | :32:22. | :32:29. | |
about his career highs and lows. And a former rugby league player about | :32:30. | :32:34. | |
the use of painkillers in high impact sports. Some say they pose a | :32:35. | :32:36. | |
bigger threat than doping. Our top story: Tributes | :32:37. | :32:45. | |
are paid to Rosa Park, the zookeeper killed | :32:46. | :32:55. | |
by a tiger yesterday. Her family said Le she was dedicated | :32:56. | :33:05. | |
to her job and wouldn't have done anything else. The Conservatives are | :33:06. | :33:13. | |
focusing on Brexit while Labour focus on childcare pom Sis. The | :33:14. | :33:18. | |
leaders of both parties face questions in a live television | :33:19. | :33:21. | |
broadcast. Theresa May was questioned by Jeremy Paxman with her | :33:22. | :33:22. | |
stance on Brexit. We gave people the choice | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
Jeremy and the British people decided to leave | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
the European Union and I think it's important for them | :33:31. | :33:33. | |
to see their politicians delivering on that choice and | :33:34. | :33:35. | |
respecting the will of the people. Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn was quizzed | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
about his views on drone strikes, tax-raising plans and past | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
campaigning in Northern Ireland. In a question and answer session | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
with the studio audience, the Labour leader defended his | :33:46. | :33:47. | |
stance on corporation tax. This country is badly divided | :33:48. | :33:52. | |
between the richest and the poorest. You put corporate tax and tax | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
at the top end down, Are you happy that so many of our | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
children are going to school So many of our children | :34:01. | :34:06. | |
are going to school hungry? British Airways says it will operate | :34:07. | :34:12. | |
a full schedule at Heathrow and Gatwick today for the first time | :34:13. | :34:15. | |
since the computer failure on Saturday disrupted flights around | :34:16. | :34:18. | |
the world. The airline says its IT systems | :34:19. | :34:20. | |
are now "back up and running" but "significant numbers" | :34:21. | :34:23. | |
of passengers are still without their luggage which could | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
take some time to sort out. Tiger Woods has denied he'd been | :34:27. | :34:31. | |
drinking when he was stopped Police charged him with being | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
under the influence - but the golfer has blamed | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
an unexpected reaction Prince Harry will attend the launch | :34:39. | :34:40. | |

Jonathan Trott is here. He played professional cricket | :36:11. | :36:25. | |
at the top for over 6 years - making over 3,800 runs - | :36:26. | :36:28. | |
but through parts of his career he was also dealing with mental | :36:29. | :36:31. | |
health challenges which saw him quit an Ashes tour early | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
as a result of stress. We'll talk to him properly | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
in a moment - but first - some facts and figures | :36:38. | :36:41. | |
behind his career. MUSIC: "Every Teardrop | :36:42. | :36:46. | |
Is A Waterfall" by Coldplay. # I turn the music up | :36:47. | :37:00. | |
I got my records on # I shut the world outside until the lights | :37:01. | :37:10. | |
come on to my favourite song # And all | :37:11. | :37:14. | |
the kids they dance All the kids, all night # Until Monday morning | :37:15. | :37:26. | |
feels another life # I turn the music up I'm on a roll this time | :37:27. | :37:29. | |
# And heaven is in sight...#. He's here. The paper back version of | :37:30. | :38:00. | |
his autobiography Unguarded is out now. I'm going to start with the | :38:01. | :38:06. | |
tour you left down under. Describe to our audience what was going on in | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
your head when it came to you thinking about playing for England? | :38:11. | :38:14. | |
It was more of a case of getting into cricket. It was actually the | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
physical challenge of going to the match and playing. I wasn't quite | :38:19. | :38:25. | |
sure what was going on. That was the most confusing thing. I'd wanted to | :38:26. | :38:28. | |
be a cricketer since I was three years old. Suddenly, I was having | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
all these feelings. Feeling almost frozen. Not sure how else to | :38:34. | :38:37. | |
describe it. As a cricketer, a batsman, you need to move quickly. I | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
was feeling I was slow. Other things were taking up my mind. I wasn't | :38:42. | :38:46. | |
able to concentrate or think clearly acid autohe a done previously and | :38:47. | :38:51. | |
successfully. You weren't sleeping the night before. Worried about | :38:52. | :38:54. | |
bowlers running in at you. You were exhausted? Yeah, I think also, there | :38:55. | :39:01. | |
were a few factors. I was perhaps putting a little bit too much on my | :39:02. | :39:05. | |
plate. Trying to hard. Before, I really focussed on my preparation | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
and let playing take care of itself. A little bit of an imbalance. | :39:10. | :39:15. | |
Thoughts of wanting to be do too much. Be the best batsman. Before I | :39:16. | :39:21. | |
focussed on other things. I was putting too much pressure on myself. | :39:22. | :39:27. | |
Well heavy schedules, it took its toll. I wish I could have changed | :39:28. | :39:31. | |
things or go back and do things differently. I certainly learnt from | :39:32. | :39:37. | |
the experience. Comingings through that experience. Leaving that tour | :39:38. | :39:42. | |
and fighting my a place back to the tour of the West Indies 18 months | :39:43. | :39:46. | |
later, I'm very proud of that against all the odds. I'm proud of | :39:47. | :39:51. | |
that, to give it another crack. The team had moved on. Different | :39:52. | :39:55. | |
personnel. Others players had retired. My time as well had run | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
playing international cricket. It was time to get out of the way for | :39:59. | :40:03. | |
younger players we see being so successful today. You talk in the | :40:04. | :40:07. | |
book about ringing your dad. It was really hard to say you were leaving | :40:08. | :40:14. | |
that tour in Australia. A dad who had encouraged and supported you. | :40:15. | :40:18. | |
And, also, made you butter through pressure, possibly, as you were | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
growing up. You said you felt, it was the hardest phone call of your | :40:23. | :40:27. | |
life, to ring him? Certainly. My upbringing's slightly different. I | :40:28. | :40:31. | |
had both very sporty parents. Weekend were spent on the side of a | :40:32. | :40:36. | |
hockey or cricket field. My mother was an international softball | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
player. I was either on the side of a softball pitch or cricket field. | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
They were both fantastic sports people. I luckily got a bit of | :40:45. | :40:50. | |
talent and wanted to make the most of it and make them proud. To phone | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
your dad who was with you every step of the way. You're leaving app Ashes | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
tour, it is something very difficult. One of the hardest things | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
I've ever had to do emotionally to do that and make the decision. I | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
certainly stand by my decision to leave. I certainly felt like I | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
wasn't helping the side in what was a difficult Ashes tour. The other | :41:14. | :41:17. | |
thing which was hard to take was to lose the series as hard as the team | :41:18. | :41:22. | |
did. I'd been lucky enough to be around for successful times. But it | :41:23. | :41:25. | |
is important to be there when the times are tough and you want to help | :41:26. | :41:29. | |
them out of a sticky situation. What would have been the impact on you if | :41:30. | :41:34. | |
you'd stayed? I couldn't have helped but I wish I had been there trying | :41:35. | :41:42. | |
to be able to help. When eventually, the initial England statement was | :41:43. | :41:46. | |
stress related to illness. Later, you gave a statement. People were | :41:47. | :41:50. | |
talking about it and didn't really know. In the interview you talked | :41:51. | :41:56. | |
about burn-out which led former England captain Michael Vaughan to | :41:57. | :42:00. | |
suggest he'd felt he was conneds by the initial statement. How did you | :42:01. | :42:07. | |
react to that? As soon as any ex-cricketer or ex-England captain | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
questions you or your thoughts or how you go about your business | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
playing for England and feeling conned, that's quite hurtful. | :42:15. | :42:18. | |
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion. The occasion was, the | :42:19. | :42:25. | |
problem was, when I left the tour, we weren't quite sure what was wrong | :42:26. | :42:31. | |
with with me. He said, I'd sign you off for a couple of weeks normally. | :42:32. | :42:37. | |
But on an Ashes tour, doesn't work like that. With help through the ECB | :42:38. | :42:45. | |
I saw a psychologist. After six weeks I woke up feeling better and | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
wanted to play cricket again. I wasn't back in that pressure cooker | :42:50. | :42:53. | |
situation. Speaking to the psychologist, they were saying, | :42:54. | :42:58. | |
typical symptoms of burn-out. I hadn't been put back into that | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
pressure situation. We did the documentary. Went and play another | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
game of the cricket and felt the same. By then it was too late to | :43:08. | :43:11. | |
stop that documentary being aired. I had to try again and sort myself. I | :43:12. | :43:17. | |
played a few Games for Warwickshire. Had another break and Steve Peters | :43:18. | :43:23. | |
helped me get back on the field. Psychiatrists who've helped various | :43:24. | :43:26. | |
other sports people. I want to take you back to the controversy around | :43:27. | :43:30. | |
that. Do you think you would have been better treated if you'd simply | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
had depression? Do people understand depression more? I think nowadays, | :43:37. | :43:40. | |
people are understanding it is quite a broad term. There are lots of | :43:41. | :43:47. | |
things people suffer from. I haven't suffered from bee precious. I | :43:48. | :43:50. | |
suffered anxiety. I was putting too much pressure on myself which caused | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
me to freeze up a little bit. It is very new. I'd always gone out there | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
to express myself and enjoy the situation. Preparing for the game. | :44:00. | :44:04. | |
Letting cricket take care of had testify. Whatever happens, happens. | :44:05. | :44:10. | |
For now, crossing the ropes has become more pressurised. The balance | :44:11. | :44:13. | |
between the game, life and death, changed a bit. It wasn't a case of | :44:14. | :44:20. | |
burn-out. I reeventually got round to getting myself right, playing | :44:21. | :44:23. | |
cricket and enjoying it again. Are you? Absolutely. Very fortunate to | :44:24. | :44:33. | |
be for booed by Warwickshire. I have guys around me who are true friends. | :44:34. | :44:39. | |
Understand my game. Helped me get back to playing for Warwickshire. | :44:40. | :44:43. | |
What did Steve Peters suggest to you in terms of the kind of tricks, if | :44:44. | :44:49. | |
you like, you should do in order to get yourself comfortable around | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
Edgbaston but without necessarily playing cricket? There are various | :44:53. | :44:57. | |
steps. When I first sat down. It is surreal, you go there, know there | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
are lots of other great sportsmen who've been to see him. You have a | :45:01. | :45:07. | |
bit of trust and confidence. He said, I don't see a human, just a | :45:08. | :45:12. | |
computer I need to fix. Speak to me and I'll see what we can do. I | :45:13. | :45:19. | |
remember driving away from the Peak District, phoning my wife, this will | :45:20. | :45:22. | |
be fine. I felt a lot more confident, raring to go and do work | :45:23. | :45:27. | |
with him and try to get better. It was a case of starting in the second | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
team at Warwickshire and learning to accept disappointment, getting out | :45:34. | :45:37. | |
to 17 or 18-year-old try lists getting me out in the nets and being | :45:38. | :45:42. | |
OK with that. Moving on, playing a second team game. Accepting failure. | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
Earning my place back in the Warwickshire first side. Then, being | :45:48. | :45:51. | |
OK with that. Moving on to the international stage again in 2015. | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
It is a long process. But, something very valuable. I learnt a lot of | :45:57. | :46:02. | |
things about myself. And that will certainly help me in today's career. | :46:03. | :46:05. | |
At the end of my career. But going forward in life. Whatever the future | :46:06. | :46:11. | |
holds. How old are you now? 36. How many century for Warwickshire this | :46:12. | :46:14. | |
season so far? A few. Three or four, I think. So modest. How long will | :46:15. | :46:22. | |
you play for? I don't know. Until they get rid of me! Thank you. We're | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
going to talk about painkillers in sport next. There is a doctor | :46:28. | :46:33. | |
suggesting actually you're injured, you have a back injury, you take a | :46:34. | :46:37. | |
painkiller to get through a game. Long-term it can be really bad for | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
your health but you can see why professional sports people use these | :46:42. | :46:45. | |
painkillers. Are they an issue. Do you think physios abuse them to get | :46:46. | :46:50. | |
a player on the pitch? You have to be careful you're not too reliant on | :46:51. | :46:54. | |
them and they mask an injure ary which will do you long-term damage. | :46:55. | :46:59. | |
I've been fortunate with injuries and niggles. I have taken a few to | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
get through a stiff back or knee. You have to sort it out. You have to | :47:05. | :47:07. | |
sort out what the real problem is. So, claims that the misuse | :47:08. | :47:22. | |
and abuse of painkillers by athletes poses a bigger threat to | :47:23. | :47:24. | |
sport than doping. Jiri Dvorak - FifA's former | :47:25. | :47:26. | |
chief medical officer says use of these drugs has reached | :47:27. | :47:28. | |
"epidemic" proportions. I spoke to him earlier | :47:29. | :47:30. | |
and he told me the "abuse" is putting the long-term health | :47:31. | :47:33. | |
of footballers in jeopardy. We have several studies which are | :47:34. | :47:48. | |
indicating the long-term abuse of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory | :47:49. | :47:56. | |
drugs, so-called painkillers, can have adverse effects, particularly | :47:57. | :48:04. | |
increasing the risk of myocardial infarction is. So heart attack in | :48:05. | :48:13. | |
later stages of life. It seems this risk is dose-related. You are saying | :48:14. | :48:16. | |
it could lead to a heart attack in later life? This is correct. This is | :48:17. | :48:25. | |
the most recent paper published on a large survey with close to 400,000 | :48:26. | :48:31. | |
people in Denmark. Players want to play, they have short careers. If | :48:32. | :48:35. | |
pain relief can get them few a few games then they are going to take | :48:36. | :48:41. | |
the painkillers. Yes, we know that and we have a clear indication that | :48:42. | :48:50. | |
the use or I would even say the alarming abuse of those medications | :48:51. | :48:58. | |
is almost the entire competition. Why is it abuse? Icy abuse because | :48:59. | :49:06. | |
if there is the medical indication and it's not justified, we go from | :49:07. | :49:08. | |
already used to abuse. Let's talk to Danny Sculthorpe - | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
a former England and Wigan Following complications | :49:13. | :49:14. | |
resulting from an injury picked up during training, | :49:15. | :49:17. | |
he became addicted to And at the national sports centre | :49:18. | :49:19. | |
in Lilleshall is Chris Tomlinson - a team physician with Wolves | :49:20. | :49:23. | |
football club and chief medical Danny, tell our audience how you | :49:24. | :49:36. | |
came to be addicted to painkillers? I got an infection after being in | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
theatre, really bad infection called septicaemia and I put on massive | :49:42. | :49:48. | |
amounts of morphine, all the strongest opiates for the pain. | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
Massive amounts for a long time and I got addicted. Eventually that | :49:54. | :49:59. | |
addiction got worse than the injury. The withdrawal of coming off all | :50:00. | :50:04. | |
those strong drugs was horrendous. How do you respond to this warning | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
from the former Chief Medical Officer of Fifa, that people using | :50:09. | :50:22. | |
these painkillers could end up with long-term problems? Rugby league is | :50:23. | :50:25. | |
trying to stop players using these strong painkillers. Paracetamol and | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
anti-inflammatories are quite popular in the sport, a lot of | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
players taking them before training and after training and sometimes, | :50:34. | :50:40. | |
stuff like tramadol and stuff like that players are taking that to | :50:41. | :50:46. | |
relax after training and abusing it in that way. Seriously? Yes, some | :50:47. | :50:52. | |
players taking these tablets, tramadol and what have you, you | :50:53. | :50:58. | |
cannot have a drink to relax after the game so they will take them to | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
chill out and watch TV and try to help them sleep. Sleeping tablets | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
and painkillers were a major problem when I was playing. I knew a lot of | :51:08. | :51:13. | |
players addicted to sleep medication because they found it hard to sleep | :51:14. | :51:18. | |
after big games. Chris Tomlinson, thank you for talking to us, the | :51:19. | :51:23. | |
professor saying misuse of these painkillers could have potentially | :51:24. | :51:26. | |
life-threatening effects, what do you think? I think it's interesting, | :51:27. | :51:32. | |
we have to look at the potential long-term affects and that still | :51:33. | :51:37. | |
slightly unknown. The study of anti-inflammatories suggesting the | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
risk is current when you take anti-inflammatories but the | :51:42. | :51:43. | |
long-term effects are not quite known. It is concerning because as | :51:44. | :51:48. | |
UK sports doctors we work under a professional code, at the heart of | :51:49. | :51:53. | |
that is doing no harm to your patience and that the patient is at | :51:54. | :51:55. | |
the centre of any decision-making process. So when you are sharing a | :51:56. | :52:02. | |
decision with a patient or athlete aiming to compete in a competition | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
or a match at the weekend what you're trying to work out is what | :52:06. | :52:09. | |
risk you are putting them under and that can be a short-term risk for an | :52:10. | :52:14. | |
injury, could the injury be worse because you are masking pain? Or | :52:15. | :52:19. | |
could it have longer term effects, for example cardiac problems later | :52:20. | :52:24. | |
in life or arthritis later in life or further damage? Tell me if I am | :52:25. | :52:31. | |
wrong, I imagine if I was a professional footballer I would say | :52:32. | :52:37. | |
to you, look, as my position, I want to play on Saturday, I am not | :52:38. | :52:40. | |
thinking about 20 years down the line. Yes and that is why | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
decision-making becomes difficult. Again, there is a lot of pressure on | :52:47. | :52:51. | |
professional footballers, playing twice a week for most of the season. | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
If they do not play they have problems, they could be out of the | :52:56. | :52:58. | |
first team for the next three months. They can be perceived as | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
being weak by managers. They are keen to play, so my question is what | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
is the underlying cause of the pain and are we doing harm by masking | :53:08. | :53:11. | |
that, are we putting them at more danger by treating it or not | :53:12. | :53:18. | |
treating it? Have you ever put pressure on a position to give you | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
painkillers Danny so you can play in a game? Probably the foremost games. | :53:24. | :53:29. | |
I remember when I was at Wigan I dropped some weights on my stern and | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
cracked my sternum, for the next six months I was getting local | :53:35. | :53:36. | |
anaesthetic injections in my chest before every game because I did not | :53:37. | :53:42. | |
want to let my family, my friends, my fans and my team down. You want | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
to play every week as a young professional athlete and I would | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
play no matter what. Thank you very much gentleman. | :53:52. | :54:00. | |
And you can hear more - from Danny as well as former | :54:01. | :54:03. | |
Rugby Union England international Lewis Moody - on the | :54:04. | :54:05. | |
Gain Without Pain is on File on 4, on Radio 4, at 8pm. | :54:06. | :54:16. | |
Thanks for all your messages saying how much you enjoyed | :54:17. | :54:18. | |
Election Blind Dates - today it was the turn of leading | :54:19. | :54:21. | |
Brexiteer Nigel Farage and journalist Rachel Johnson, | :54:22. | :54:23. | |
Are you single, Nigel? That's a very good question, a lot of people | :54:24. | :54:38. | |
asking that question. I am not very married at the moment. I am married. | :54:39. | :54:46. | |
I know you are! It's good to get to know each other's status before | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
embarking on this date. I think separated is my legal status. How do | :54:52. | :54:57. | |
you feel about that? I don't think anything would have survived what | :54:58. | :55:01. | |
I've been doing for the last five years Brackley. Not that I've been | :55:02. | :55:05. | |
perfect, I am not, but it's been pretty awful. It's been pretty | :55:06. | :55:13. | |
awful. Hellish. Are you talking about work and infidelity? I am | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
talking about the nastiness and aggro that comes with it, that the | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
whole hard left movement are now the remainders. That is not why your | :55:22. | :55:29. | |
marriage broke down. The last time I went out with a family we were | :55:30. | :55:33. | |
assaulted by 80 people. That is the last time we went out as a family. | :55:34. | :55:40. | |
Do you have any security now? No help from the police, the state, | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
nothing. You never go out. That is awful. Are you serious? I am dead | :55:46. | :55:53. | |
serious. Shall we talk about something else? LAUGHTER | :55:54. | :56:06. | |
Could you go to bed with a remainer? I am not going to answer that! Are | :56:07. | :56:19. | |
you only attracted to Brexiters? That's a good question. He has no | :56:20. | :56:33. | |
words. I must ask if the story about you meeting someone on a plane is | :56:34. | :56:39. | |
true. You were snogging a page three model. Ludicrous, the whole thing, | :56:40. | :56:46. | |
page three model would been OK. What was she doing in business class? | :56:47. | :56:52. | |
That is a good question. Where you stitched up? What the episode shows | :56:53. | :56:58. | |
me is you cannot trust anybody, you cannot talk to anybody. That is | :56:59. | :57:05. | |
awful. I don't think you can trust random people. No. There I was | :57:06. | :57:12. | |
sitting at the bar having dinner and someone comes and sits next to you | :57:13. | :57:15. | |
and talks to you, what are you going to do? Snow car. Yes, well. | :57:16. | :57:28. | |
If you want to watch the whole thing you can find it | :57:29. | :57:31. | |
on our programme page - bbc.co.uk/victoria - | :57:32. | :57:32. | |
there was plenty of politics chat in there as well. | :57:33. | :57:35. | |
And tomorrow find out what happened when Toff from Made | :57:36. | :57:37. | |
in Chelsea met austerity campaigner and cook Jack Monroe. | :57:38. | :57:39. | |
Later in the week we'll bring you dates between Labour MP | :57:40. | :57:42. | |
Jess Phillips and Conservative MP John Whittingdale, historian | :57:43. | :57:44. | |
Mary Beard and Peter Stringfellow who runs a lapdancing club, | :57:45. | :57:46. | |
Gina Miller who led the Brexit court case against the govt | :57:47. | :57:49. | |
and Godfrey Bloom a former UKIP politician and SNP | :57:50. | :57:51. | |
politician Tommy Sheppard and comedian Stuart Mitchell. | :57:52. | :57:54. | |
All of your message is quite a lot of them seeing how much you loved | :57:55. | :58:03. | |
it. Good to see humour and everything according to one, another | :58:04. | :58:06. | |
saying they loved it, what we need to lighten up the selection. In | :58:07. | :58:12. | |
today's increasingly aggressive dialogue it's good to see people | :58:13. | :58:17. | |
exchanging different views and agreeing to disagree says another. | :58:18. | :58:23. | |
Politics explained in English says Sarah, one of the many reasons I | :58:24. | :58:27. | |
love your programme is that you explain politics in English. Thank | :58:28. | :58:30. | |
you, more again tomorrow. | :58:31. | :58:31. |
