:00:08. > :00:12.I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme.

:00:13. > :00:14.There should be a crackdown on the cash-in-hand economy

:00:15. > :00:16.according to the author of a Government-backed

:00:17. > :00:20.He also wants to see far more rights for people in low

:00:21. > :00:30.There are too many people treated at work like they are cogs in a

:00:31. > :00:35.machine, rather than human beings, and there are too many people who do

:00:36. > :00:36.not see a route from their current job to progress and do better and

:00:37. > :00:38.earn more. Do you accept cash in

:00:39. > :00:42.hand and pay tax on it? One of the richest women

:00:43. > :00:46.in the world, Melinda Gates, joins us to explain why millions

:00:47. > :00:48.more women in the poorest parts of the world need better

:00:49. > :00:57.access to contraception. When you travel the world, you meet

:00:58. > :01:02.so many women who will tell you that if they can space the births of

:01:03. > :01:04.their children, they can feed and educate them, and that is what they

:01:05. > :01:06.want to do. You can hear that full

:01:07. > :01:08.interview after 10 o'clock. And for the first time

:01:09. > :01:10.in more than 30 years, Great Britain will be represented

:01:11. > :01:12.in the ladies Wimbledon Johanna Konta says she's just

:01:13. > :01:18.focusing on winning the match. She is delighted she has got this

:01:19. > :01:33.far. Cash jobs like window cleaning

:01:34. > :01:40.and decorating are said to be worth up to ?6 billion a year,

:01:41. > :01:44.so we want to hear from you this morning if you get paid in cash

:01:45. > :01:47.of if you've paid for jobs in cash Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:48. > :01:55.we're talking about this morning - And if you text, you will be charged

:01:56. > :02:00.at the standard network rate. Ending cash-in-hand jobs

:02:01. > :02:04.and changing the rules on the gig economy, where workers get paid

:02:05. > :02:06.per task, are two of the recommendations in a major

:02:07. > :02:09.report into the way we work. The Matthew Taylor review also says

:02:10. > :02:11.there are too many people who are being treated like cogs

:02:12. > :02:14.in a machine, rather Our economics correspondent,

:02:15. > :02:17.Andy Verity, reports. In the last ten years,

:02:18. > :02:22.the economy's generated record numbers of jobs and the lowest

:02:23. > :02:25.unemployment rate in nearly But according to the man who led

:02:26. > :02:28.a government-commissioned review, more jobs hasn't always

:02:29. > :02:30.meant more good jobs. In my view, there's too much work,

:02:31. > :02:33.particularly at the bottom end of the labour market,

:02:34. > :02:36.that isn't of a high enough quality and there's too many people not

:02:37. > :02:39.having their rights fully respected and there are too many people

:02:40. > :02:42.treated at work like cogs in a machine rather than being human

:02:43. > :02:46.beings and there are too many people who don't see a route

:02:47. > :02:48.from their current job to progress The review will recommend that

:02:49. > :02:56.if someone is controlled and supervised, then they're

:02:57. > :02:58.classified as a worker, or dependent contractor,

:02:59. > :03:02.rather than self-employed. Those workers may be entitled

:03:03. > :03:05.to benefits like holiday pay and employers may have to pay

:03:06. > :03:10.national insurance at 13.8%. That's broadly in line

:03:11. > :03:14.with a landmark court ruling in a case brought by this former

:03:15. > :03:16.Uber driver, Yaseen Aslam. I don't think it helps me

:03:17. > :03:22.as a worker for what I've been fighting for in tribunal,

:03:23. > :03:25.and that's what's concerning because the workers have not been

:03:26. > :03:27.involved in the process The review also makes a bigger point

:03:28. > :03:34.that self-employed work, from plumbers to painters, yields

:03:35. > :03:36.far less tax for the Treasury, especially if the work

:03:37. > :03:39.is cash in hand. For consumers, though,

:03:40. > :03:42.the recommendations are likely to mean inexpensive services

:03:43. > :03:45.will no longer be as cheap. Our political guru, Norman Smith,

:03:46. > :03:58.is in Westminster this morning. This report could affect so many

:03:59. > :04:01.people, but I wonder how much change it will really bring about? The mind

:04:02. > :04:07.behind it thinks it will be the biggest step change in employment

:04:08. > :04:10.rules in a generation. He certainly thinks it will be a very big deal

:04:11. > :04:15.and what it is trying to do is address the grey area that gig

:04:16. > :04:19.workers inhabit because they are not quite self-employed, they do not

:04:20. > :04:23.have complete control over their working lives, often beholden to

:04:24. > :04:28.these companies. At the same time, they are not really employees

:04:29. > :04:32.either, not absolutely locked into companies like Uber. They are in a

:04:33. > :04:36.twilight world. What Matthew Taylor is suggesting there ought to be a

:04:37. > :04:43.new category of worker called independent contractor which would

:04:44. > :04:48.enjoy some but not all the rights of employees. They would get holiday

:04:49. > :04:53.pay, sickness benefits, potentially the minimum wage too. Two things

:04:54. > :04:59.strike me. Will it happen? That seems to me a little bit vague

:05:00. > :05:04.because although some people in government are saying, this is a

:05:05. > :05:08.good report, we like it, there is no firm commitment to implement it, to

:05:09. > :05:12.actually make it happen. When you look at the reaction of unions and

:05:13. > :05:17.business, they are not terribly enthusiastic either. The real danger

:05:18. > :05:21.is whether the report will end up like so many reports, there is a big

:05:22. > :05:26.hoo-ha at the time but then it just gets pushed back down the agenda and

:05:27. > :05:29.ends up not being implemented. She is, Norman. Thank you very much.

:05:30. > :05:31.Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

:05:32. > :05:35.President Trump's eldest son is facing further allegations

:05:36. > :05:37.about a meeting he held with a Russian lawyer

:05:38. > :05:41.The New York Times says Donald Trump Junior was informed

:05:42. > :05:43.in advance by email that the information offered

:05:44. > :05:45.by the woman was part of a Russian government effort

:05:46. > :05:50.The Senate Intelligence Committee says it wants to speak to him

:05:51. > :06:01.Rescue teams searching for a missing 12-year-old boy have found a body in

:06:10. > :06:14.they had found a body in the water. An American military aircraft has

:06:15. > :06:17.crashed in the state of Mississippi, It crashed about 100 miles north

:06:18. > :06:21.of Jackson, the state capital. Officials say all 16 victims

:06:22. > :06:23.were on the Marine Corps aircraft A man has been charged over an acid

:06:24. > :06:29.attack on a woman and her cousin John Tomlin, who's 24,

:06:30. > :06:33.is alleged to have thrown acid at Resham Khan and Jameel Muhktar

:06:34. > :06:36.through their car window. Both suffered severe burns

:06:37. > :06:39.to the face and body. A day after the Iraqi Prime Minister

:06:40. > :06:42.declared victory in the battle to retake Mosul from so-called

:06:43. > :06:44.Islamic State, hopes and worries about what happens next

:06:45. > :06:50.are already forming. Members of a 72-nation coalition

:06:51. > :06:53.are meeting in Washington later to work out how a stable future can

:06:54. > :06:57.be secured and the US top general in Iraq has warned of the dangers

:06:58. > :07:00.of allowing a new version So-called Islamic State appears

:07:01. > :07:12.to be on the back foot. TRANSLATION: Our victory today

:07:13. > :07:16.is a victory against darkness, against brutality,

:07:17. > :07:23.and against terrorism. In Syria, US-backed forces

:07:24. > :07:25.are closing in on Raqqa. But this is not

:07:26. > :07:27.the end of the battle. Meetings are planned

:07:28. > :07:29.in Washington this week to stop victories turning

:07:30. > :07:32.to defeat and chaos. Even if IS do lose

:07:45. > :07:50.diplomats will want to know is, what will be done

:07:51. > :07:56.to rebuild after IS? There is worry that

:07:57. > :08:00.if power-sharing is handled badly, more people might

:08:01. > :08:11.become IS converts. There is also concern that

:08:18. > :08:22.Isis, Isis 2.0, from emerging, the Iraqi

:08:23. > :08:24.government is going to have to do something pretty

:08:25. > :08:26.significantly different. They are going to have to reach out,

:08:27. > :08:30.reconcile with the Sunni population. Much of Mosul in ruins with no

:08:31. > :08:32.water or electricity. Nearly 1 million of

:08:33. > :08:36.its people have fled. As aid agencies call

:08:37. > :08:42.out for money, the memories of Iraq in 2003 will be ringing

:09:03. > :09:04.Melinda Gates and the Development Secretary, Priti Patel,

:09:05. > :09:06.just after ten o'clock. Two new studies have found

:09:07. > :09:08.that people who drink Scientists say they've uncovered

:09:09. > :09:13.the clearest evidence yet that the beverage could be

:09:14. > :09:15.beneficial to health, with those drinking more

:09:16. > :09:17.than three cups a day seeing But others have urged caution,

:09:18. > :09:22.as Sarah Smith reports. It's the news every coffee addict

:09:23. > :09:26.will be delighted to hear. Their daily, or better still thrice

:09:27. > :09:29.daily, brew might be a reason Previous research has suggested

:09:30. > :09:38.drinking coffee can reduce the risk of heart disease,

:09:39. > :09:40.diabetes and some cancers. Now two studies, one

:09:41. > :09:42.American and one European, have both come up with results

:09:43. > :09:45.that seem to show coffee The study of more than 500,000

:09:46. > :09:53.people from ten European countries found men who downed at least three

:09:54. > :09:57.cups of coffee a day were 18% less likely to die from any cause

:09:58. > :10:03.than non-coffee drinkers. Women drinking the same amount

:10:04. > :10:05.benefited less but still experienced What the study doesn't show

:10:06. > :10:11.is what could be causing It's thought it could be

:10:12. > :10:14.the antioxidants The results came out the same

:10:15. > :10:21.for people who drank The figures don't prove that

:10:22. > :10:28.drinking coffee will make you live longer, there's no cause

:10:29. > :10:30.and effect shown, just a study of the life spans

:10:31. > :10:34.of an awful lot of coffee drinkers. Plans to almost double

:10:35. > :10:41.the number of Welsh speakers The Welsh Government wants

:10:42. > :10:51.1 million people to be There will be more teaching

:10:52. > :10:56.at an earlier age, and more Welsh-speaking teachers in primary

:10:57. > :11:02.and secondary schools, as our Wales At Ysgol Glan Morfa, children's

:11:03. > :11:06.lessons are taught through Welsh. Members of the Welsh Government came

:11:07. > :11:09.here to spread the word about their new goal

:11:10. > :11:11.for the language, supported We've laid down the gauntlet,

:11:12. > :11:15.if you like, it's a big task, If we really want to do it

:11:16. > :11:20.and we believe we can do it, then Expanding Welsh medium education

:11:21. > :11:24.is at the heart of the strategy. It includes creating 150 Welsh

:11:25. > :11:26.language nursery groups over the next decade and increasing

:11:27. > :11:29.the number of Welsh speaking primary But it's recognised that there must

:11:30. > :11:35.be opportunities to learn and use There's also a recognition

:11:36. > :11:39.that they need support from parents. Some parents will say, you know,

:11:40. > :11:47.if my kids go to a Welsh medium school, can I help them

:11:48. > :11:49.with their homework? Will all the correspondence be

:11:50. > :11:51.in Welsh from the school? So of course we want

:11:52. > :12:00.to take parents with us. The Welsh language is

:12:01. > :12:03.celebrated every year at the National Eisteddfod,

:12:04. > :12:05.a cultural festival which welcomes The Welsh Government wants more

:12:06. > :12:09.people to be able to communicate in Welsh, but the public's appetite

:12:10. > :12:11.for change remains to be seen. Now take a look at this dashcam

:12:12. > :12:20.footage of a driver who seems It's been released

:12:21. > :12:42.by police in Norfolk. I wonder if he's going

:12:43. > :12:44.to go through a red. He shouldn't even be driving

:12:45. > :12:47.the rate that he has been driving. He's watching the

:12:48. > :12:51.EXPLETIVE on his phone! He's watching the

:13:21. > :13:36.the latest BBC News. A warning letter? On the subject of

:13:37. > :13:39.sextant which we will talk about in a moment, Becky says, if it is

:13:40. > :13:45.children as young as five, it must be learnt behaviour. Parents need to

:13:46. > :13:48.take responsibility. No child needs to see anything inappropriate for

:13:49. > :13:58.their age. Shame on the parents. If you have a child who has sent or

:13:59. > :14:03.received images, seminaked images, Snapchat images with tassles on your

:14:04. > :14:08.private bits, we know what we are talking about, let us know how you

:14:09. > :14:13.have handled it as a mum or dad. On the cash economy, why is paying cash

:14:14. > :14:19.for jobs part of the report at all? The smell of a rat is strong. Steve

:14:20. > :14:26.Young Twitter says, this report by the UK Government is nothing more

:14:27. > :14:29.than a cash grab. Interesting. Cash in hand economy, suggestions today

:14:30. > :14:34.from this report that will be cracked down upon because it means a

:14:35. > :14:38.lot of tax goes unpaid. If you pay cash in hand, receive cash in hand,

:14:39. > :14:43.let me know the reasons why. Somerdale says, I receive cash in

:14:44. > :14:48.hand, the best way to work, cutting out the corrupt middle person. --

:14:49. > :14:55.someone says. No time for the sport. Two British players

:14:56. > :15:00.are through to the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon singles

:15:01. > :15:03.for the first time in 44 years. So can Johanna Konta go one better

:15:04. > :15:05.by reaching the last She takes on the number two seed

:15:06. > :15:09.Simona Halep after a really tough three-set win over

:15:10. > :15:11.Caroleen Garcia yesterday. Andy Murray isn't back

:15:51. > :15:58.naked or semi naked photo to someone else using a phone,

:15:59. > :16:02.tablet or online. In the UK it's illegal to do it

:16:03. > :16:05.if you are under 18 - yet the BBC has learned that more

:16:06. > :16:09.than 4,000 children under the age of 17 have been investigated

:16:10. > :16:14.for sexting since 2013. And nearly 500 of those children

:16:15. > :16:34.were aged 12 or under. Our Newcastle BBC reporter has been

:16:35. > :16:40.investigating. Tell us more? We found there were thousands of

:16:41. > :16:44.under-17s that has been dealt with for sexting, including a number of

:16:45. > :16:48.ten-year-olds and a few older teens that have ended up on the Sex

:16:49. > :16:51.Offenders' Register for it. There are hundreds of primary school age

:16:52. > :16:55.children. We put in Freedom of Information requests to all forces

:16:56. > :16:59.in England and Wales. We found that Greater Manchester Police returned

:17:00. > :17:06.the highest instances of children they dealt with for sexting. Norfolk

:17:07. > :17:11.and Essex have provided us with quite high numbers. The Met police

:17:12. > :17:14.weren't able to respond to our request, saying it would take too

:17:15. > :17:22.long for a member of staff to go through all the records they had. We

:17:23. > :17:27.got some context from some places such an an 11-year-old sending a

:17:28. > :17:31.message via Snapchat to a 12-year-old or a messenger message

:17:32. > :17:34.to an 11-year-old. You have been working on this story for months.

:17:35. > :17:39.What is the most surprising thing you draw from it? I think it's that

:17:40. > :17:44.it's not surprising - everybody I've spoken to when I've said sexting in

:17:45. > :17:49.under-17s, they've rolled their eyes and said sort of, we know what you

:17:50. > :17:55.are talking about. The most alarming thing, there is a five-year-old in

:17:56. > :18:00.County Durham found to be sexting by police. They were using an iPad. A

:18:01. > :18:04.five-year-old can use an iPad, you could give them an iPad for five

:18:05. > :18:08.minutes to entertain themselves but in this case it's been there for a

:18:09. > :18:15.bit longer. We learned the average age for sexting was 13-14-year-olds

:18:16. > :18:18.soI visited a youth club in Sunderland to find out what they

:18:19. > :18:20.knew about sexting. This is what they told me.

:18:21. > :18:23.It's when someone asks you, like, sexual pictures of yourself, or

:18:24. > :18:28.Is where you either like send like dirty

:18:29. > :18:31.messages or, like, nude pictures of yourself.

:18:32. > :18:36.Normally, like, your boobs, your bum.

:18:37. > :18:40.And, like, your private areas which no one asks you to.

:18:41. > :18:45.If it's like a girl it will be, like, your boots, or, like, your

:18:46. > :18:54.If it's like a boy it will be, like, you're down belows.

:18:55. > :18:57.I don't know if it's illegal but certainly

:18:58. > :19:02.I think a lot of people do because that's what people

:19:03. > :19:11.I think a few of my mates have done it.

:19:12. > :19:18.I do know someone that had sent an inappropriate image and

:19:19. > :19:20.basically there was just a lot of trouble in school.

:19:21. > :19:25.Teachers had to get involved with things like that

:19:26. > :19:28.that has happened and went on because it just got sent around

:19:29. > :19:35.People at school were basically just, like, laughing about

:19:36. > :19:37.it and saying like just like it's really like,

:19:38. > :19:40.like, basically they called her a slag.

:19:41. > :19:44.So it's just, like, really upsetting for her.

:19:45. > :19:47.She didn't realise what consequences would actually come from it because

:19:48. > :19:49.she didn't expect him to send it about.

:19:50. > :19:54.She sent a picture to her boyfriend and they fell out and then

:19:55. > :19:57.the pictures got around and she got badly bullied for it.

:19:58. > :20:03.Sexting could lead to put in your name on the sex

:20:04. > :20:10.It can go to the police and it can carry on and stop you from getting

:20:11. > :20:14.It could like ruin your career because if you want

:20:15. > :20:17.to be a teacher or something and if it goes, like,

:20:18. > :20:23.or social media then people will remember

:20:24. > :20:30.Let's talk to Kerry Smith who is from one of the world's

:20:31. > :20:32.largest children's charities, Plan International UK.

:20:33. > :20:36.And Natalie Smith who is the education director of ARC theatre.

:20:37. > :20:40.Their shows tour primary and secondary schools and teach

:20:41. > :20:46.pupils about the consequences of sexting.

:20:47. > :20:51.Hello both of you. Thank you very much for coming on the programme.

:20:52. > :20:54.Your reaction to the fact that so many under-17s have been

:20:55. > :20:59.investigated by the police, including a five-year-old? I think

:21:00. > :21:03.it's true that it's unsurprising that so many under-17s have been

:21:04. > :21:06.investigated. The five-year-old is an extreme example. If you heard

:21:07. > :21:11.your reporter, she was talking about 500 under the age of 12. It shows

:21:12. > :21:14.that we really need to talk to our children at a very young age about

:21:15. > :21:20.both sex and relationships education but also technology and what you do

:21:21. > :21:26.about taking pictures and sharing those images. They're getting mixed

:21:27. > :21:29.up and confused and we need to start the conversations early. There is a

:21:30. > :21:33.real difference between a five-year-old potentially sending an

:21:34. > :21:38.image of themselves naked presumably innocently and perhaps a 14-year-old

:21:39. > :21:43.girlfriend sending it to her boyfriend or vice versa? But if a

:21:44. > :21:47.child has the technology, there isn't a difference and young

:21:48. > :21:50.children want to be like their peers, like the older teenagers so

:21:51. > :21:57.although yes it's probably innocent, if it's got a come radio, video,

:21:58. > :22:02.they're curious -- camera. They're curious about it. Something naughty

:22:03. > :22:05.sets your adrenaline going so it's exciting, especially if you think

:22:06. > :22:09.other people don't know or it might be something you have not done

:22:10. > :22:12.before, it makes it exciting. There is a disconnect between it being

:22:13. > :22:17.against the law and kids doing it. Send a pic in your bedroom, your

:22:18. > :22:21.boyfriend or girlfriend receives it, they might send something back, why

:22:22. > :22:26.would you think that is illegal, what do you say to children about

:22:27. > :22:35.that when you take your show around? One thing that surprises me is that

:22:36. > :22:39.people think their phone is their property, but it's the parent that

:22:40. > :22:44.is liable because they're paying the bill. So we tell them very little is

:22:45. > :22:49.private anyway especially when it comes to the Internet and anything

:22:50. > :22:53.they share on their phone their parents could have access to it and

:22:54. > :22:56.be able to see. That is enough toe make them think about what they're

:22:57. > :23:06.doing but they haven't even twigged that yet. So thinking about this is

:23:07. > :23:10.something they would want to... Anthony says a five-year-old having

:23:11. > :23:13.access to a phone to take photos in the first place. As for

:23:14. > :23:17.criminalising the act of sexting between children, I'm in two minds.

:23:18. > :23:20.Potentially he could be in favour of that. The way the police approach

:23:21. > :23:24.this at the moment is pretty sensible isn't it? Yes. It's a

:23:25. > :23:28.criminal offence so it already is criminalised. He means taking it

:23:29. > :23:34.further? Yes, I mean the police are being sensible. If it's not

:23:35. > :23:38.malicious, the police are going, OK, a crime has been committed but we

:23:39. > :23:42.are not going to take any action. Although some teenagers who've done

:23:43. > :23:45.this "innocently "requests, yes they're breaking the law but they've

:23:46. > :23:50.ended up on the Sex Offenders' Register. We have seen a change in

:23:51. > :23:53.the way in which police are taking forward these cases because of the

:23:54. > :23:57.prevalence of it and the rising number and I think that really

:23:58. > :24:00.speaks to one critical issue which is the sex and relationships

:24:01. > :24:04.education that we have in our schools, the guidance is being

:24:05. > :24:08.reviewed in September this year to be introduced next year and we

:24:09. > :24:10.really need to make sure that children are learning about consent,

:24:11. > :24:16.what it means to get someone's agreement to do something with them

:24:17. > :24:20.but also about technology, so sexting and pornography and there

:24:21. > :24:24.was a survey done this year with parents and the British public.

:24:25. > :24:27.Seven out of ten people said yes, we want our kids to know about sexting,

:24:28. > :24:30.so people know that there is an issue, they want that knowledge

:24:31. > :24:36.shared with children and we've really got to make sure that that is

:24:37. > :24:39.what is happening in schools. Your charity did some work focussing on

:24:40. > :24:43.sexual assaults in schools in this country. How did that come about and

:24:44. > :24:48.is it relevant to the sexting debate? I do think it is. We did a

:24:49. > :24:52.piece of research that showed that in four years, reports of sexual

:24:53. > :24:56.offences doubled and we also did a Freedom of Information request from

:24:57. > :25:00.the Mors, but what it shows to us because what we are hearing from the

:25:01. > :25:04.young people we work with, especially girls, is that they're

:25:05. > :25:09.being sexualised, girls are being pressured, sexting is a gendered

:25:10. > :25:13.issue, more girls are being asked to share and there's double standards,

:25:14. > :25:19.as we saw from the film. The girls are shamed, but not the boys who're

:25:20. > :25:23.holding the phones, but just the girls being shamed. There is a an

:25:24. > :25:27.issue about what is happening in the environments and the streets and how

:25:28. > :25:30.do we educate our people and the communities around them. Parents

:25:31. > :25:33.also need to be confident and understand what is happening with

:25:34. > :25:35.their children and understand what their children are being taught in

:25:36. > :25:40.schools and take that conversation home.

:25:41. > :25:44.So let us talk about parents then because absolutely crucial in how

:25:45. > :25:47.you bring your kids up and what technology you give them access to.

:25:48. > :25:51.What is the advice to parents, Natalie? One question we ask

:25:52. > :25:54.students we work with on our broadcast programme is hands up if

:25:55. > :26:01.you think you know more about social media, mobile phone technology than

:26:02. > :26:05.you parents and every hand went up. Even teachers that spend all their

:26:06. > :26:09.days with these young people are sometimes shocked and horrified and

:26:10. > :26:15.surprised at some of the answers that they're giving us. I think

:26:16. > :26:20.technology's often used as a baby sitting tool, as a peace-keeper, but

:26:21. > :26:24.I think in the ways that adults would use technology, children are

:26:25. > :26:27.using it very similarly but also quiet differently, it gives

:26:28. > :26:31.something different to a young person when they are so connected

:26:32. > :26:37.amongst their friends. So what do we do? Do we make sure we have their

:26:38. > :26:44.passwords for all their social media apps, do we restrict use of the

:26:45. > :26:48.phone? I think we have to educate. Give me some practical tips then,

:26:49. > :26:52.what does that mean? There is an app that parents with get where they can

:26:53. > :26:56.monitor up to five phones. They can allow children access to the

:26:57. > :26:59.Internet or not. They can allow children the ability to play games

:27:00. > :27:02.or not, they can see what is happening on their social media so

:27:03. > :27:07.they are connected. Parents have got to have an interest as well. A lot

:27:08. > :27:11.of parents probably make assumptions about their child's online use that

:27:12. > :27:16.is probably not very close to the truth. We hear especially from young

:27:17. > :27:22.people in secondary schools that they have secret e-mail addresses so

:27:23. > :27:24.they can sign up to them and get pornography accounts and parents

:27:25. > :27:29.don't have a clue about that because they are not doing it themselves.

:27:30. > :27:33.This is a the first generation that we have such a gap. When these

:27:34. > :27:38.children become parents, they'll carry on with that technology and

:27:39. > :27:43.the speed an the change. They share their passwords amongst each other

:27:44. > :27:50.in a way parents don't, so one can carry on their streaks for them if

:27:51. > :27:55.they get their phone taken off them - I'm not speaking from experience

:27:56. > :27:59.here! What you have got to do is work in the school system, work as a

:28:00. > :28:04.family to say what is appropriate behaviour, how do we talk about how

:28:05. > :28:07.we act online and offline and parents actually, we need the kind

:28:08. > :28:12.of information from schools, from providers about how do we talk about

:28:13. > :28:15.sex and relationships and bring technology into that conversation

:28:16. > :28:21.and we also need to create cultures in our families about asking your

:28:22. > :28:23.child if it's OK to take a picture and share it.

:28:24. > :28:42.Thank you both very much. Let me know your thoughts on this.

:28:43. > :28:45.Get in touch. Still to come, Theresa May gives her first speech since the

:28:46. > :28:50.general election. We'll look ahead to some of the things she's going to

:28:51. > :28:55.say. And Jo can that plays in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon. Will

:28:56. > :28:59.she make the semis and the final? More on that later. Time for the

:29:00. > :29:05.latest news headlines with Joanna. An end to cash-in-hand jobs

:29:06. > :29:08.and changing the rules on the minimum wage are just two

:29:09. > :29:11.of the recommendations in a major review into the way we work.The

:29:12. > :29:14.study - led by a former adviser to Tony Blair, Matthew Taylor -

:29:15. > :29:16.recommends that people working in what's known as the "gig

:29:17. > :29:19.economy", where workers get paid per task, should receive new legal

:29:20. > :29:21.protections - and their employers should make national

:29:22. > :29:26.insurance contributions. President Trump's eldest son

:29:27. > :29:28.is facing further allegations about a meeting he held

:29:29. > :29:31.with a Russian lawyer The New York Times says

:30:23. > :30:27.than 200 million women worldwide who want access to family planning

:30:28. > :30:31.services still don't have it. We'll hear from the philanthropist

:30:32. > :30:33.Melinda Gates and the Development Secretary, Priti Patel,

:30:34. > :30:42.just after ten o'clock. That's a summary of

:30:43. > :30:44.the latest BBC News. Let's head to Wimbledon now

:30:45. > :30:47.and talk to Sally Nugent. And we have yet another huge

:30:48. > :30:50.match to look forward to, with Johanna Konta

:30:51. > :30:51.in the quarterfinals. There are some impressive

:30:52. > :31:02.statistics regarding British That is right. Sometimes sport

:31:03. > :31:05.reporting can be all about the statistics and I try and keep them

:31:06. > :31:11.out of it, but the statistics around this are brilliant. The first time

:31:12. > :31:15.in 44 years we have had a British man and a British woman through to

:31:16. > :31:19.the quarterfinals. We are used to it with Andy Murray, quite blase now.

:31:20. > :31:24.He has made it through to the stage for the last ten years on the trot.

:31:25. > :31:32.An incredible achievement. This time we can start to get a bit excited

:31:33. > :31:37.about Jo Konta. She is playing brilliantly. She has always played

:31:38. > :31:41.brilliantly. A few tweaks in her game she has been working on, her

:31:42. > :31:49.serve, stance on the baseline, but what she has done which is fantastic

:31:50. > :31:53.is she has conquered her nerves. She comes out very focused on court. In

:31:54. > :31:58.interviews, she only talks about the match she has just played. She will

:31:59. > :32:01.not look forward and think, am I going to make the semifinals? She

:32:02. > :32:06.will never let herself think about that and she will need her wits

:32:07. > :32:10.about her playing Simona Halep. She will need to keep calm and keep a

:32:11. > :32:18.handle on the nerves. She has done it so well so far, she has a great

:32:19. > :32:28.chance of top secret weapon, baking muffins every day. Every day? Only

:32:29. > :32:31.one is left today. After her match, she bakes a batch for the coaching

:32:32. > :32:37.team. White chocolate and raspberry, vanilla muffins, banana and

:32:38. > :32:41.chocolate chip. She has had a request for peanut butter and

:32:42. > :32:45.banana. I know too much about this! It is sad. She is baking and it

:32:46. > :32:54.makes her feel, and the whole team love the cake. -- it makes her feel

:32:55. > :33:02.calm. Are we done with Murray? He got through, did all right? I was a

:33:03. > :33:06.bit blase. He plays tomorrow, he is moving brilliantly, better than we

:33:07. > :33:10.thought. If you watch him in training, he is not. How he is

:33:11. > :33:22.managing on court, I don't know. It must be adrenaline. I stayed up late

:33:23. > :33:28.last night, it took 5 cents and almost five hours. Gilles Muller

:33:29. > :33:32.knocked out Rafa Nadal. It was epic. I was shouting at the telly. Rafa

:33:33. > :33:37.Nadal has played brilliantly, playing all of his shots, and yet he

:33:38. > :33:42.was not winning the points. A mammoth match in the end. 15-13. It

:33:43. > :33:48.was incredible to watch and you have to say, Gilles Muller played

:33:49. > :33:52.fantastically. You might be able to hear a strange noise on centre

:33:53. > :33:58.court. I can exclusively reveal that is the roof coming across. A little

:33:59. > :34:03.bit colder today. Raid in the air. No plans to have the roof on when

:34:04. > :34:08.they start but they tend to move the roof back and forward at certain

:34:09. > :34:16.points in the fortnight. -- there is rain in the air. Live sporting

:34:23. > :34:28.very much. Sally every morning from Wimbledon live. Points from you

:34:29. > :34:33.about the cash in hand economy, the review from Matthew Taylor, the way

:34:34. > :34:38.we work in Britain in 2017. We will talk more about it. E-mail from

:34:39. > :34:42.Clare, so many beauty bars on my street that only accept cash. They

:34:43. > :34:47.are full of stuff that do not really speak English, I do not know how

:34:48. > :34:53.they get away with it. It is commonplace throughout London. Roger

:34:54. > :34:58.tweets, let us be realistic, it is not about employee rights, this

:34:59. > :35:02.report, it is about taxes. Simon e-mails, I am a decorator and I

:35:03. > :35:07.spent 18 months working for a very large construction company and I was

:35:08. > :35:12.forced to work ten hours per day, weekends, or lose my job. Holiday

:35:13. > :35:16.pay was taken from me, paying me through an umbrella company and

:35:17. > :35:19.charging me ?1 50 per week simply to administer my wages. The

:35:20. > :35:25.construction industry is ruled by corporate greed at the expense of

:35:26. > :35:30.workers and their rights. The Government will not stop practices

:35:31. > :35:35.like this while umbrella companies exist. Cash in hand is sometimes the

:35:36. > :35:42.only way to make a living wage. Andrew says, I don't mind them going

:35:43. > :35:49.after cash in hand builders, but only if they go after cash in hand

:35:50. > :35:52.corporations -- go after tax avoiding corporations first.

:35:53. > :35:54.One year after taking office, an embattled Theresa May

:35:55. > :35:58.will make her first major speech since losing her majority

:35:59. > :36:01.It's expected the Prime Minster will reaffirm her commitment

:36:02. > :36:03.of governing for all and not just the 'privileged few'.

:36:04. > :36:05.She's also expected to ask for greater cooperation

:36:06. > :36:11.from opposition parties on some of the biggest issues

:36:12. > :36:16.as a "fightback" by Mrs May, but will that convince anxious

:36:17. > :36:20.This morning we're talking to three who say their confidence

:36:21. > :36:23.in the party and Theresa May as PM has shifted since the election.

:36:24. > :36:26.Let's take a look back at her eventful year in charge.

:36:27. > :36:28.Brexit means Brexit and we're going to make a success of it.

:36:29. > :36:31.I have just been to Buckingham Palace where Her

:36:32. > :36:33.Majesty the Queen has asked me to form a new government

:36:34. > :36:38.If you're just managing, I want to address you directly.

:36:39. > :36:42.The Article 50 process is now under way

:36:43. > :36:45.and in accordance with the wishes of the British people, the United

:36:46. > :36:47.Kingdom is leaving the European Union.

:36:48. > :36:54.The only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the

:36:55. > :36:57.years ahead is to hold this election and seek your support for the

:36:58. > :37:04.Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed.

:37:05. > :37:16.The Conservative Party has won the most

:37:17. > :37:19.seats and probably the most votes, then it will be encumbant on us

:37:20. > :37:22.to ensure that we have that period of stability and that is

:37:23. > :37:39.Lauren Foskett is a working mum of two who describes herself

:37:40. > :37:49.She says although Theresa May's leadership has been

:37:50. > :37:51.a disappointment, but she's still supporting her,

:37:52. > :37:54.and Adam Fahn is a facilities manager, he's in Brighton,

:37:55. > :37:58.and he says he'd still rather have Mrs May as PM than Jeremy Corbyn.

:37:59. > :38:06.Welcome. Lauren, explain why you are an unhappy Conservative photo. The

:38:07. > :38:13.campaign that Theresa May round was appalling. I think she lacks

:38:14. > :38:20.charisma. As the campaign went on, I felt that she was not somebody who

:38:21. > :38:24.deserved my vote, but I thought the alternative was too horrible to

:38:25. > :38:29.contemplate so I still voted Tory. Appalling? Like a robot, kept

:38:30. > :38:35.repeating the strong and stable mantra. Is this for real? Will she

:38:36. > :38:40.continue to do this? She seemed to do that. She alienate it a lot of

:38:41. > :38:48.core voters. Lorraine, have you been disappointed in her leadership? Yes,

:38:49. > :38:54.I have. She had so much promise. The first woman PM for this century. She

:38:55. > :39:00.came in strong. I liked her approach to Brexit. But it has been

:39:01. > :39:04.undermined. She named a calculated risk which flew in the face of the

:39:05. > :39:10.electorate -- she made. They said they would not be manipulated and

:39:11. > :39:13.the younger votes came out and we are where we are now and she is in a

:39:14. > :39:19.worse position than she was and it will go down in history as an

:39:20. > :39:23.absolute nightmare, really. We will come back in a moment to what you

:39:24. > :39:33.want to see from her in the coming months, let us bring in Adam. Hello.

:39:34. > :39:37.How would you describe Theresa May as Prime Minister and the leader of

:39:38. > :39:40.the Conservative Party? She deserves our support and she needs to stay

:39:41. > :39:43.because the alternative does not bear thinking about for me but I do

:39:44. > :39:49.not then she connected with people enough and explained the policies

:39:50. > :39:55.enough to be able to appeal to more people and it allowed Jeremy Corbyn

:39:56. > :39:59.to attack and win more votes. Is it about her, the way she is, or the

:40:00. > :40:05.Conservative manifesto in the run-up to the general election? I think the

:40:06. > :40:08.last election was more about individual leaders. Whether that is

:40:09. > :40:13.right or wrong, that is what we were seeing. It was both. The way she put

:40:14. > :40:17.it across. But there were things in the manifesto, things discussed in

:40:18. > :40:23.the lead up to the election, that did not need to be discussed and it

:40:24. > :40:27.lost us votes. I can hear you two agreeing. We were talking about it

:40:28. > :40:34.and why did they bring fox hunting into it? Why did they think -- why

:40:35. > :40:40.do you think? Presumably they thought people would be rallied by

:40:41. > :40:44.it but it a near naked people. A lot of the policies seem to be picking

:40:45. > :40:48.on people they know will vote for them and then they alienate them.

:40:49. > :40:53.They did not talk about Brexit which was the thing she went to the

:40:54. > :40:58.country for, Brexit. Lorraine, what do you think about Theresa May's

:40:59. > :41:08.approach to Brexit? Do you know what it is? Yes, I am clear. But I liked

:41:09. > :41:13.her original approach because as a negotiator, you have to go in

:41:14. > :41:20.highly, hard, set out your stall. Then you have got wiggle room to

:41:21. > :41:25.negotiate down. To go in softly, softly, it is not the way. At the

:41:26. > :41:30.end of the day, we have to get the consensus of 26, 27 other countries,

:41:31. > :41:36.that in itself will be a steep mountain to climb. It is about

:41:37. > :41:42.negotiation. The now she is going softer, she recognises the

:41:43. > :41:46.electorate are some of them, they were not quite clued up as to

:41:47. > :41:51.exactly what Brexit meant and what they were giving up. The fact she

:41:52. > :41:58.wants to have some consensus across the party lines, I think that is a

:41:59. > :42:01.move. In the run-up to the election, it was talked about, though more

:42:02. > :42:08.bipartisan approach to discussing what will be best for the country.

:42:09. > :42:11.Forget party lines. Forget that you are Labour, liberal, whatever. Get

:42:12. > :42:15.the best heads together to do what is best for the country. It is not

:42:16. > :42:21.about her running out of ideas. It is about Labour four example has the

:42:22. > :42:27.same ideas in certain quarters as the Conservatives. It is about let

:42:28. > :42:31.us get consensus early on because, God knows, she has not got a

:42:32. > :42:37.majority in the House, time is of the essence. Yes, her approach, I

:42:38. > :42:41.think it is right. Do you like what we are told is going to be in the

:42:42. > :42:48.speech today where she will say the opposition parties to contribute,

:42:49. > :42:52.not just criticise? Yes, I do. She has not got much choice now. I

:42:53. > :42:58.really do not like how adversarial our politics is and it is so

:42:59. > :43:02.combative and it is about winning points and we really need to come

:43:03. > :43:05.together as a country. I do not think she has any choice and I think

:43:06. > :43:11.it would be nice to see the opposition coming on board. Adam,

:43:12. > :43:16.William Hague, for a Tory Party leader, I do not what you thought of

:43:17. > :43:19.him, writing any newspaper today has this warning to Conservative MPs,

:43:20. > :43:24.any MP thinking it might be better to jeopardise the Government than to

:43:25. > :43:28.swallow a compromise from time to time, he means about Brexit, should

:43:29. > :43:33.get clear now that such thinking is naive and dangerous in the extreme.

:43:34. > :43:37.What do you think about that? We voted for Brexit as a country. There

:43:38. > :43:43.are a number of opportunities that will come out of it. We have to

:43:44. > :43:49.negotiate. But we must remember what people voted for. We must deliver

:43:50. > :43:54.that. But we have to negotiate. What do you think specifically people

:43:55. > :44:02.voted for? I think different people voted for different things. There

:44:03. > :44:08.was certainly some... I think people made a decision ultimately to leave

:44:09. > :44:11.the EU, but not to stop trading, not to stop visiting, not to stop people

:44:12. > :44:18.coming here and all of the other things we do together. It was just

:44:19. > :44:32.not to have a political union. Yes. Agreed. The immigration was... To

:44:33. > :44:37.others, it was a big issue. But to the centre, it is about control. We

:44:38. > :44:42.already have a lot of our own control, we are not part of the

:44:43. > :44:47.Schengen zone. That was the problem. We were not given enough information

:44:48. > :44:51.and it was not there to give. There were lies and scaremongering,

:44:52. > :44:57.blatant lies, how do you make a decision based on that? Let us not

:44:58. > :45:02.rerun history. What do you want? Cross-party consensus on Brexit,

:45:03. > :45:07.what else do you want? Mrs May says it is not just about Brexit, her

:45:08. > :45:11.premiership. What else do you want from her as a conservative voter? I

:45:12. > :45:20.want to look at other policies like housing. I think... Building more.

:45:21. > :45:24.Affordable housing. Also landlords, section 24, I would like to have

:45:25. > :45:34.that looked into because that supports local authorities, issues

:45:35. > :45:37.about landlords over what the last Conservative administration did, and

:45:38. > :45:42.in terms of making sure that we have a large pool of housing, if the

:45:43. > :45:46.local authorities cannot support that, we need to help the landlords,

:45:47. > :45:55.instead of taxing them. Are you a landlord? Sky yes, I am. I thought

:45:56. > :46:01.you might be! Just to be transparent! What about you, Lauren?

:46:02. > :46:05.I would like to see cross-party consensus about some sort of plan

:46:06. > :46:09.for social care. Both of my parents went into a care home and their

:46:10. > :46:13.house has to be sold to pay for that. My father unfortunately died

:46:14. > :46:17.but my brother is in a care home now and as it stands there will be

:46:18. > :46:21.nothing left wants the care is paid for. Some of the policies they

:46:22. > :46:24.touched on in the election sounded like they might be fair but there

:46:25. > :46:28.was not enough information and I would quite like to see that

:46:29. > :46:35.discussed but it needs to be a broad discussion. Adam, final thought?

:46:36. > :46:39.Keep going, you're our Prime Minister, a strong and stable

:46:40. > :46:42.economy which will deliver us good, health care education, all the

:46:43. > :46:46.things that I think we all want no matter who we voted for, so get on

:46:47. > :46:52.and do it and you've got my support. Thank you very much. Thank you.

:46:53. > :46:55.Likewise. Thank you. Thank you to all of my guests. Good luck and

:46:56. > :46:56.thank you very much for coming on the programme.

:46:57. > :46:59.Coming up, Melinda Gates and Secretary of State

:47:00. > :47:02.for International Development Priti Patel joins us to explain why

:47:03. > :47:08.millions more women in the poorest parts of the world need better

:47:09. > :47:13.is going to make today, she's going to talk

:47:14. > :47:17.More of us are self-employed than ever before and more of us

:47:18. > :47:20.are taking up jobs in the so-called gig economy - people get paid

:47:21. > :47:23.for individual jobs rather than getting a weekly wage.

:47:24. > :47:24.According to one definition, that's "labour market characterised

:47:25. > :47:27.by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work,

:47:28. > :47:31.But a lot of workers find their jobs are insecure and exploitative.

:47:32. > :47:33.The person tasked by the government to review the country's working

:47:34. > :47:36.practices, Matthew Taylor, will report back

:47:37. > :47:50.Now we can speak to Megan Brown, a courier, working for Deliveroo,

:47:51. > :47:53.Paula Ventura, a government cleaner campaigning for the London Living

:47:54. > :47:55.Wage, which is ?9.75 an hour, Joeli Brearley,

:47:56. > :47:58.from Pregnant Then Screwed, who was sacked when pregnant

:47:59. > :48:04.and Diane Nicol, employment lawyer who helped with Matthew Taylor's

:48:05. > :48:16.working for Deliveroo means you are technically an independent

:48:17. > :48:19.contractor delivering food from restaurants

:48:20. > :48:22.for them to customers, not an employee of theirs.

:48:23. > :48:26.Do you feel like an independent contractor?

:48:27. > :48:32.No, I don't think I'm an independent contractor, I don't think I'm

:48:33. > :48:36.running my own business. This is complete nonsense. OK. Because you

:48:37. > :48:40.are seen as an independent contractor, up until now, then you

:48:41. > :48:45.don't get sick pay, minimum wage et cetera. Indeed. The review is going

:48:46. > :48:49.to suggest that you are a dependent contractor because you are

:48:50. > :48:54.controlled and supervised by your company, does that sound about

:48:55. > :48:58.right? Yes. This is based on the worker status which already stands

:48:59. > :49:07.in law which would entitle us to national minimum wage, holiday pay,

:49:08. > :49:11.things like that. Diane, how would you define this? The difficulty

:49:12. > :49:16.before has been the lack of clarity between someone who is truly

:49:17. > :49:22.self-employed and workers that Megan's just referred to. The Taylor

:49:23. > :49:25.review recommendations want a distinction between the two and they

:49:26. > :49:32.want to make it clear to employers and workers alike that that status

:49:33. > :49:38.exists because, quite often, more unscrupulous engagers and employers

:49:39. > :49:43.deny worker status. Obviously it requires the rights that they don't

:49:44. > :49:47.want to follow through on like holiday pay. One of the

:49:48. > :49:53.recommendations is that there is clarity in law. They need to issue

:49:54. > :49:57.them with a statement of terms and conditions just as employers are

:49:58. > :50:01.entitled to so that they and their employers and engagers are really

:50:02. > :50:09.clear on their rights and responsibilities too. Thank you for

:50:10. > :50:14.coming on the programme. You clean offices in the Loos of a Government

:50:15. > :50:23.department from 5 am to 11 am, is that right? Until 9 am. So each

:50:24. > :50:34.morning? Yes. Are you paid the minimum wage? Yes. But it's not

:50:35. > :50:39.enough? It's not enough because, I see my colleagues, we work so hard,

:50:40. > :50:43.they are short staffed, they don't book anybody else to help us and the

:50:44. > :50:50.staff are feeling tired and then last week we had a meeting and then

:50:51. > :50:54.the company said we are talking with the owners of the building, then

:50:55. > :51:02.they just decide they're not going to pay for the living wage. As we

:51:03. > :51:07.knew, many buildings in the same road, Whitehall, they pay the living

:51:08. > :51:12.wage, the same company. That is why my colleagues and me were talking

:51:13. > :51:17.about this. We are ask ourselves why they don't pay us. Just to be clear,

:51:18. > :51:22.the company that employs you is not paying you the London living wage

:51:23. > :51:26.which is ?9.75 an hour, so that is above the minimum wage, but does pay

:51:27. > :51:34.the London living wage to other employees? No. No it doesn't or it

:51:35. > :51:40.does? No, they don't pay to us in our building but the same company

:51:41. > :51:45.pay for like number 22 Whitehall, they pay to FCO, the London living

:51:46. > :51:50.wage. Jo understood. They don't pay it to us. Why do you think that is?

:51:51. > :51:53.They said they want to consult the owners of the building and they

:51:54. > :52:00.decide that they cannot pay the living wage to us. What do you think

:52:01. > :52:07.about that? I think it's wrong because we work hard from 5am and

:52:08. > :52:12.then the company win money because it's business, yes, and then I think

:52:13. > :52:17.they should look after the staff more. If we are feeling good, we

:52:18. > :52:28.work better and then they're going to get profit as well. They should

:52:29. > :52:33.pay the London living wage because my husband and me, we are

:52:34. > :52:38.campaigning for five years now, my husband left the company now I'm

:52:39. > :52:41.just working there for 12 years. I think it's unfair because I should

:52:42. > :52:47.trust in a company that I'm working for a long time there, but I've just

:52:48. > :52:51.concluded that they don't do anything to help employees, they

:52:52. > :52:56.don't care about us. Then I feel really bad. Yes. Yes.

:52:57. > :53:01.Is this review going to touch on the living wage, do you know? We don't

:53:02. > :53:07.comment specifically on the living wage but a we do comment on

:53:08. > :53:10.enforcement of living a minimum wage and enhancing enforcement so that

:53:11. > :53:16.people like yourself and your husband will be able to complain

:53:17. > :53:21.about the fact that there is nonpayment and then the Government

:53:22. > :53:26.through the HMRC will be able to enforce those wages. Also I think I

:53:27. > :53:30.heard you earlier talking to someone about agency workers and umbrella

:53:31. > :53:34.companies and that is all going to be reviewed and looked at as well in

:53:35. > :53:39.relation to providing much more clarity and transparency around what

:53:40. > :53:44.agency workers and those who're A typical and perhaps more capable of

:53:45. > :53:52.exploitation are paid. Let me bring in Joeeli. Hi there --

:53:53. > :53:57.Joeli. You were sacked when you told your boss you were pregnant which is

:53:58. > :54:04.shocking. What protections are you looking for from this Government

:54:05. > :54:08.review? We'd like to see greater parity between self-employed people,

:54:09. > :54:13.people on zero hour contracts, women who run own businesses and women in

:54:14. > :54:17.precarious work because, at the moment, workers have very little

:54:18. > :54:26.rights in terms of maternity so they have no right to time off for

:54:27. > :54:32.antenatal appointments, paid work. Self-employed women have no rights

:54:33. > :54:38.to maternity leave, yet the benefits are dependent on them taking

:54:39. > :54:43.maternity leave. People who're self-employed don't get 90% of pay

:54:44. > :54:48.for the first six weeks which employees are entitled to and men

:54:49. > :54:52.have no right to paternity leave if they're self-employed. So we'd

:54:53. > :54:54.really lake to see greater parity between those two types of

:54:55. > :54:58.employees. Is that something that is covered?

:54:59. > :55:02.Without giving too much away, I think the nature of the

:55:03. > :55:07.self-employed rights to maternity and paternity is something that is

:55:08. > :55:12.part of a recommendation and there is also a recommendation around

:55:13. > :55:18.consolidation of the guidance on the rights that pregnant workers and

:55:19. > :55:22.those on maternity leave have. There is a recommendation that the

:55:23. > :55:27.legislation is looked at slightly longer term. Obviously what we are

:55:28. > :55:31.trying to achieve here is a balance of rights and responsibilities

:55:32. > :55:34.between the rights of the worker and the responsibilities of the

:55:35. > :55:42.employers and engagers, so there are recommendations on those points. OK.

:55:43. > :55:46.That sounds potentially hopeful, Joeli but Diane can't give much away

:55:47. > :55:51.because the report isn't officially released until an hour or so. Claire

:55:52. > :55:55.says, I have worked as a self-employed contractor being paid

:55:56. > :55:59.per job. I think the company that provide this is can sometimes

:56:00. > :56:04.exploit workers, giving them set schedules to work. So there is no

:56:05. > :56:07.flexibility, putting pressure on me to take extra jobs and shifts but

:56:08. > :56:11.still not giving sick pay, holiday pay or a pension or any kind of

:56:12. > :56:16.benefit. I'm not saying that every company acts this way, but the one I

:56:17. > :56:22.worked for did. I felt harassed and blackmailed to keep my job with

:56:23. > :56:29.them, taking shifts I did not want and yet I was "self-employed". That

:56:30. > :56:38.is the mischief that we are trying to address in the report which is

:56:39. > :56:42.the honest approach to status and it sounds to me - I wouldn't obviously

:56:43. > :56:46.give legal advice - but it sounds to me that in the new world that's been

:56:47. > :56:50.recommended that person would fall into the category of dependent

:56:51. > :56:55.worker and be entitled to holiday pay and so on. OK. Regarding what

:56:56. > :56:59.you have told us, we have got a statement from the Cabinet Office,

:57:00. > :57:04.they say: We outsource our cleaning services to a private company which

:57:05. > :57:09.is responsible for setting pay. The Government is committed to tackling

:57:10. > :57:16.low pay and we ensure all of our contractors comply with statutory

:57:17. > :57:22.and legal obligations. With regards to yourself and Deliveroo, this

:57:23. > :57:26.statement: Riders receive ?9. 50 across the UK, above the national

:57:27. > :57:31.average. We want to offer high paid flexible work but want to offer the

:57:32. > :57:35.riders benefits, they value the flexibility that self-employment

:57:36. > :57:39.provides. If a recent poll, 82% of riders said flexible work is what

:57:40. > :57:43.attracted them to Deliveroo. The report is out in an hour. We'll see

:57:44. > :57:46.what it says then. Thank you all very much.

:57:47. > :57:48.Coming up, Melinda Gates and Secretary of State

:57:49. > :57:51.for International Development Priti Patel joins us to explain why

:57:52. > :57:54.millions more women in the poorest parts of the world need better

:57:55. > :58:01.Let's get the latest weather update with Benhaz Akhgar.

:58:02. > :58:09.We can look forward to some rain today, welcome news for gardeners

:58:10. > :58:19.and growers after a dry few days. We have seen some rain this morning.

:58:20. > :58:26.Also some sunshine. This was the scene in Troon in Scotland. The

:58:27. > :58:31.reason for the rain, this weather front is bringing it, it's coming

:58:32. > :58:36.west-to-east the rest of today and into this evening. We have a trough

:58:37. > :58:40.bringing a few showers through Scotland but they're mainly light in

:58:41. > :58:43.nature. Sunshine in-between the showers, the best of the drier

:58:44. > :58:46.weather for Northern Ireland. The rain continuing to push its way east

:58:47. > :58:52.across England and Wales through the afternoon. Northern parts are the

:58:53. > :58:55.best areas today if you are looking for drier conditions.

:58:56. > :59:00.Northern Ireland enjoying the best of the brightness as well. Into

:59:01. > :59:04.England and Wales, a lot of cloud. The rain turning patchy for a time

:59:05. > :59:11.but intensifying again into late afternoon. Essentially it's feeling

:59:12. > :59:16.much fresher with temperatures below for this time of year. A bit breezy

:59:17. > :59:23.along the coasts. If you are going to Wimbledon, a few showers likely.

:59:24. > :59:27.Temperatures up to 18 Celsius, feeling fresher than the past few

:59:28. > :59:32.days. The rain will continue to fall across England and waeltion. Further

:59:33. > :59:38.north, they'll tend to clear away. It will be a chilly night. South and

:59:39. > :59:42.east will hang on to the rain and it will be a little blustery as well.

:59:43. > :59:45.Temperatures should be more comfortable for sleeping tonight,

:59:46. > :59:49.ranging between seven to 14. Tomorrow we'll see the rain across

:59:50. > :59:52.the south-east first thing. That will clear through and high pressure

:59:53. > :59:56.is in charge of the weather. We can look forward to plenty of sunshine

:59:57. > :00:01.with light winds. It will feel pleasant, it's a lovely looking day

:00:02. > :00:04.with temperatures tomorrow ranging between 14 to about 22. We are

:00:05. > :00:09.feeling much more comfortable and less humid. By the time we head into

:00:10. > :00:13.Thursday, we have the risk of a few showers across parts of the north

:00:14. > :00:16.and west. Equally sunny spells to look forward to. The best of the

:00:17. > :00:20.drier and brighter weather across the south-east. Temperatures ranging

:00:21. > :00:22.between 14 to about 23. Remaining cloudy as we head towards the end of

:00:23. > :00:28.the week. Hello, it's Tuesday, it's 10

:00:50. > :00:53.unscrupulous employers deny the status of workers because it

:00:54. > :00:56.requires a tier of rights but they do not want to follow through on. We

:00:57. > :01:01.will talk more about the report. Do you accept cash in hand or do

:01:02. > :01:06.you always pay cash in hand? Window painting, the decorating? Do

:01:07. > :01:13.you take cash? Do you pay tax on it? Melinda Gates joins us to explain

:01:14. > :01:27.why millions more women need better When you travel the world, you meet

:01:28. > :01:32.so many women that will tell you that if they can space the births of

:01:33. > :01:38.their children, they can feed and educate them and that is what they

:01:39. > :01:40.want to do. The foundation is promising ?300 million to help pay

:02:36. > :02:39.of work amongst lower paid, lower skilled workers. What we have to do

:02:40. > :02:44.is tackle exploitation so there are too many people who suffer one-sided

:02:45. > :02:48.flexibility, their employers have lots of flexibility but it is not

:02:49. > :02:50.how it feels to them, they are insecure, they do not feel they have

:09:17. > :09:20.The issue is being discussed at a big international

:09:21. > :09:24.When a similar event was held five years ago, a pledge was made

:09:25. > :09:26.for contraception to reach 120 million extra women by 2020.

:09:27. > :09:30.Today, both the UK Government and the Gates Foundation have

:09:31. > :09:35.committed extra cash to help that target be met - but is it enough?

:09:36. > :09:37.Earlier I spoke to Melinda Gates and to Priti Patel, who is

:09:38. > :09:39.the Secretary of State for International Development.

:09:40. > :09:46.Thank you both very much for talking to us.

:09:47. > :09:49.Let me ask you, first of all, Melinda Gates, why contraception is

:09:50. > :09:51.so important to women and girls in the poorest countries?

:09:52. > :09:53.Well, when you travel the world, you meet so

:09:54. > :09:57.many women that will tell you that if they can space the births of

:09:58. > :10:00.their children, they can feed and educate them and that's

:10:01. > :10:12.So if we allow them to have these tools, if we offer

:10:13. > :10:15.them, and we teach them about their bodies,

:10:16. > :10:17.they will readily take them up because they

:10:18. > :10:20.know it makes a huge difference for lifting themselves and their

:10:21. > :10:23.So there is a direct link, you are saying,

:10:24. > :10:24.between contraception and education for women?

:10:25. > :10:29.And women will tell you all over the world, many of them

:10:30. > :10:31.know about their bodies, they know about

:10:32. > :10:33.contraceptives, but they need to know more.

:10:34. > :10:35.And then once they have that information, they readily take them

:10:36. > :10:37.up because they want to space the births

:10:38. > :10:41.of their children, because

:10:42. > :10:44.they will say, if I can space the births of my

:10:45. > :10:47.children, I can then feed my kids and I can educate them.

:10:48. > :10:50.And for them their future is all about educating their kids.

:10:51. > :10:52.155 million women in the developing world currently use no

:10:53. > :11:01.We don't fund it and the supply chains are broken, and so

:11:02. > :11:03.in places like Senegal in West Africa, contraceptives, until we

:11:04. > :11:06.started this programme, had been stocked out 80% of the time.

:11:07. > :11:09.So, women will tell you, I leave my field, I have to make

:11:10. > :11:17.up a reason for my husband that I'm going into town,

:11:18. > :11:20.and then I get to the clinic and what I want isn't there.

:11:21. > :11:22.It's literally a life and death prices

:11:23. > :11:25.You are, your foundation, the Bill and Melinda

:11:26. > :11:26.Gates Foundation, is promising an extra $375 million.

:11:27. > :11:28.That's an extraordinary sum of money, over the

:11:29. > :11:30.next four years, for global family planning efforts.

:11:31. > :11:34.What is driving you to focus the money

:11:35. > :11:38.Because Bill and I see the difference it makes, see how

:11:39. > :11:42.transformative it is in families' lives, and if women can take these

:11:43. > :11:46.tools up, and we see this demographic bulge that's happening,

:11:47. > :11:51.1.2 billion adolescents, it's the biggest population of adolescents

:11:52. > :11:55.we've ever had in the history of the Earth

:11:56. > :11:59.developing world and if we don't offer them contraceptives, you are

:12:00. > :12:04.basically putting them into a life of destitute poverty.

:12:05. > :12:06.Whereas if you can offer a girl contraceptives,

:12:07. > :12:09.She will tell you, I want to stay in school,

:12:10. > :12:12.I don't want to have that first baby until I'm ready.

:12:13. > :12:14.And today, one in five girls in the developing world

:12:15. > :12:17.under the age of 18 die because of a pregnancy.

:12:18. > :12:21.So we know this is one of the most important things we can

:12:22. > :12:23.do and we are offering this money to really go after

:12:24. > :12:27.Priti Patel, the UK Government is pledging an extra 45

:12:28. > :12:29.million a year, I think, for the next five years.

:12:30. > :12:35.Because, as Melinda has said and explained, the

:12:36. > :12:40.need, the demand is enormous in the world.

:12:41. > :12:42.You know, there are still in excess of 214 million women and

:12:43. > :12:46.girls who simply do not have access to modern methods of family planning

:12:47. > :12:49.Just explain to our audience why it's the

:12:50. > :12:54.responsibility of British taxpayers to fund that.

:12:55. > :12:56.Well, we are world leaders, obviously, working with our

:12:57. > :12:58.partners such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and

:12:59. > :13:02.many others in this whole area because of the wider implications.

:13:03. > :13:05.You know, in terms of poverty

:13:06. > :13:08.in particular - that women and girls are trapped in

:13:09. > :13:10.that vicious cycle of poverty if they come out of education.

:13:11. > :13:14.If they live in rural and poorer parts of

:13:15. > :13:18.the developing world, they have no access to modern methods of

:13:19. > :13:24.That means that their families are just going to increase,

:13:25. > :13:27.they don't get to space out the number of children that they have,

:13:28. > :13:30.and they are trapped in that vicious cycle and that is not good for them.

:13:31. > :13:33.It's certainly not good for their countries as well

:13:34. > :13:35.when those young women and girls could get their

:13:36. > :13:38.education and then become educated, and even go to work as well and

:13:39. > :13:45.The great thing about the summit that we have

:13:46. > :13:48.taking place today in London is that we have a range

:13:49. > :13:50.of our partners who are attending, but also finance

:13:51. > :13:52.ministers, health ministers and development ministers from many of

:13:53. > :13:58.these countries who themselves know that they need to do more work in

:13:59. > :14:01.this area and they want to work with us, the British Government,

:14:02. > :14:03.and with the partners as well, to ensure that

:14:04. > :14:07.we can deal with those supply issues.

:14:08. > :14:10.Those really crunch supply issues and get in contraceptives to

:14:11. > :14:16.You will know, there will be people watching you who will say, we have

:14:17. > :14:19.poverty in this country, we don't need to be spending British

:14:20. > :14:21.taxpayers' money funding contraception for women in the

:14:22. > :14:24.Well, I would disagree with that pretty strongly,

:14:25. > :14:27.because, of course, you know, we have to do our bit as well as a

:14:28. > :14:31.world leader when it comes to not just leading the world on aid and

:14:32. > :14:33.development, but also in this area as well.

:14:34. > :14:38.We are working with UK firms, pharmaceutical companies as well, to

:14:39. > :14:40.really lower the price of commodities, to really, you know,

:14:41. > :14:43.get the commodities to the women and girls that need this.

:14:44. > :14:46.But also, to tackle some of the big challenges

:14:47. > :14:50.The population bulge in developing countries is just going

:14:51. > :14:56.And of course that has big pressures on our resources,

:14:57. > :14:58.it has an enormous pressure on migration,

:14:59. > :14:59.on the lack of jobs that

:15:00. > :15:03.are being created in poor countries, and we are trying to work to tackle

:15:04. > :15:07.some of those major global challenges.

:15:08. > :15:10.We do this not on our own, obviously, but with our partners

:15:11. > :15:12.and the United Kingdom is stepping up in this area.

:15:13. > :15:14.Melinda Gates, you are Catholic, the Catholic Church is

:15:15. > :15:38.How much of an issue is that for you?

:15:39. > :15:48.What I know and what I believe is, I'm in and out of these places, this

:15:49. > :15:53.makes a difference in women's lives. Emboyered women transform societies.

:15:54. > :15:56.The Pope probably knows that. He's described as an enlightened Pope.

:15:57. > :16:00.Yet the view about contraception that it's banned in the eyes of the

:16:01. > :16:04.Catholic Church hasn't shifted. Do you think it will? I don't know. I

:16:05. > :16:11.can't predict what he will do, but what I know about this Pope is that

:16:12. > :16:16.he's lived amongst the poor and seen women die. So I think if you believe

:16:17. > :16:21.in women, you offer them the right tools and offer them ways to be able

:16:22. > :16:24.to space the births of the children so their children don't die.

:16:25. > :16:30.Do you think that could change over time? It just may take a long time?

:16:31. > :16:46.There are different views on this in the Catholic Church.

:16:47. > :17:01.I can't predict what he will do but what I know

:17:02. > :17:05.about this Pope is that he has lived amongst the poor, he has lived with

:17:06. > :17:08.So I think if you believe in women you

:17:09. > :17:12.And you offer them ways to be able to space

:17:13. > :17:15.the births of their children so that their children don't die.

:17:16. > :17:17.Do you think that could change over time?

:17:18. > :17:21.And there are different views on this in the

:17:22. > :17:26.But that's to prevent disease, that's different.

:17:27. > :17:28.But they also see the difference it makes in families'

:17:29. > :17:30.lives, to not have six and seven children.

:17:31. > :17:33.Donald Trump has blocked US funds going to any organisation

:17:34. > :17:35.involved in family planning, abortion advice and care overseas.

:17:36. > :17:38.I think that any time you block something

:17:39. > :17:41.that is right for women you're not saying that you're really for women.

:17:42. > :17:44.Now, this administration has put on a policy we've seen under other

:17:45. > :17:49.I can't express what exactly he stands for in terms

:17:50. > :17:52.of women but I'll tell you that if you're for women you fund family

:17:53. > :17:55.planning so Bill and I are working with Congress to make sure that this

:17:56. > :18:05.Britain will have men's and women's quarter-finalists at Wimbledon

:18:06. > :18:09.Johanna Konta beat France's Caroline Garcia in a three hour match

:18:10. > :18:12.on court one yesterday to become the first British woman to reach

:18:13. > :18:16.Speaking after her victory, she said it was what she had dreamed

:18:17. > :18:20.Meanwhile defending champion and top seed Andy Murray then saw off

:18:21. > :18:23.Frenchman Benoit Paire on Centre Court.

:18:24. > :18:25.Johanna Konta at the top of the screen

:18:26. > :18:28.was up against Caroline Garcia in a match of small margins.

:18:29. > :18:35.Garcia supporters saw her take the second

:18:36. > :18:38.set and Garcia had served brilliantly but this was match point

:18:39. > :18:41.and this was Wimbledon, and this is a critical mistake.

:18:42. > :18:47.Give Johanna Konta on occasion, she'll rise to it.

:18:48. > :18:50.It's those situations that I dreamt of when I was a little girl.

:18:51. > :18:53.And even now to be a part of those battles on big stages.

:18:54. > :18:57.You're now the first British woman into a

:18:58. > :18:59.quarterfinal at Wimbledon since Jo Durie in 1984.

:19:00. > :19:05.Andy Murray was playing Benoit Paire of

:19:06. > :19:08.France, 46 in the world, at Wimbledon Murray had never lost

:19:09. > :19:13.Tie-break in the first, 6-4 in the second, Murray was

:19:14. > :19:17.COMMENTATOR: That's too big, too good.

:19:18. > :19:20.In the third set Murray got heated with the umpire

:19:21. > :19:30.No matter, Murray said it was the best he'd hit the ball

:19:31. > :19:33.in the tournament so far and Paire ultimately couldn't match it.

:19:34. > :19:39.UMPIRE: Game, set and match, Murray, 3-0.

:19:40. > :19:42.So Murray plays again tomorrow, but Konta's quarter final

:19:43. > :19:44.is first up today - she faces a tough match against

:19:45. > :19:51.So is it possible for two Brits to go all the way?

:19:52. > :19:54.And does this mark a new golden age in British tennis?

:19:55. > :19:57.We can speak now to Amanda Owens, a former professional tennis player,

:19:58. > :20:08.And Jo Durie, who was the last British woman to reach the Wimbledon

:20:09. > :20:18.She was formerly ranked number five in the world.

:20:19. > :20:27.And, Andy Murray's former coach also joins us. Jo, what do you think of

:20:28. > :20:31.Jo's contest so far? Fantastic, it's great to see a British woman in the

:20:32. > :20:36.second week. We have always known Andy Murray can get there but Jo for

:20:37. > :20:40.the first time has played really tough tennis. I'm not at all

:20:41. > :20:45.surprised because she looks very good in the top ten mix now and

:20:46. > :20:48.believes in herself. Miles, what do you think of her achievement thus

:20:49. > :20:54.far? Not only in this tournament but in the last couple of years, it's

:20:55. > :20:57.been amazing. She's one of these players who has really turned

:20:58. > :21:02.herself around. There were not many people marking her out for this kind

:21:03. > :21:08.of success. When she burst on to the stage in the Aussie Open, often that

:21:09. > :21:10.is not backed up but she's gone from strength-to-strength and is

:21:11. > :21:17.definitely in the mix to win this tournament. You think so? No doubt

:21:18. > :21:25.about it. I've been fortunate to work on a couple of her matches. One

:21:26. > :21:29.of her opponents a couple of years ago was really high quality, she

:21:30. > :21:32.could have panicked there and she absolutely stayed the course, played

:21:33. > :21:36.really good tennis, she's got the weapons as well to play tennis on

:21:37. > :21:41.her own terms. There is a lot of the girls in the mix who I think just

:21:42. > :21:44.about everybody left in the drawer, there's a case for why they could

:21:45. > :21:50.win the tournament but Jo Konta's been very, very impressive. Jo Durie

:21:51. > :21:56.when Miles was say ing she could win it, I saw you nodding in agreement.

:21:57. > :22:00.Look, any one of them could win it, the last eight, they're playing

:22:01. > :22:05.fantastic tennis. I was surprised that Jo was the bookies' favourite.

:22:06. > :22:09.You have got Venus Williams in there who's won five times soI would have

:22:10. > :22:14.thought she would be the favourite, but when you get to this stage, you

:22:15. > :22:19.are playing well, used to playing and used to the grass, so any one of

:22:20. > :22:24.the eight could win so why not Jo. OK. Amanda Owens, you used to play

:22:25. > :22:29.tennis yourself professionally. You were nodding in agreement when Miles

:22:30. > :22:33.said over the last few years Jo's sort of strengthened mentally as

:22:34. > :22:38.well. Wa kind of work has she been doing? Absolutely. I agree with

:22:39. > :22:43.Miles and Jo and Jo hi it's nice to see you both, by the way and Jo

:22:44. > :22:50.picked me out as a tennis player a long time ago. Jo Konta, has

:22:51. > :22:54.incredible mental strength and is brilliant under pressure. We are

:22:55. > :22:59.seeing a player who, for the first time in a long time since Jo Durie,

:23:00. > :23:07.that we have a player that can cope with the pressure but who plays the

:23:08. > :23:11.points. She has enormous self-belief but the composure in her last match

:23:12. > :23:18.and yesterday was just immense. It shows that she will go all the way.

:23:19. > :23:25.This time in this tournament? Yes, but she's got the capability to win

:23:26. > :23:28.a Grand Slam. The way she played yesterday and her decision-making,

:23:29. > :23:32.it was superb. Especially on the critical points. It will be

:23:33. > :23:40.interesting to see what Jo and Miles think. Go on, Miles? Well, I didn't

:23:41. > :23:46.see as much of yesterday's match because I was working on some of the

:23:47. > :23:51.other matches but again that match and the amount of times she was in

:23:52. > :23:57.sticky situations and hit the line with her serve. Jo's incredibly

:23:58. > :24:01.disciplined with her game style which under pressure is huge. There

:24:02. > :24:04.are no decisions to be made, she knows what she is goes to do and

:24:05. > :24:08.generally executes it very well. If it comes down to the wire, that is a

:24:09. > :24:12.massive help. Having said that, I do think that, for a British player, I

:24:13. > :24:16.remember Andy winning it for the first time. Even talking about it

:24:17. > :24:21.now I get goose bumps, so there is going to be a different level of

:24:22. > :24:25.pressure but it's the same for all of the girls, mainly apart from

:24:26. > :24:30.Venus who's been there numerous times, as Jo said. Let's talk about

:24:31. > :24:33.Andy Murray. I was on Centre Court supporting him yesterday, only the

:24:34. > :24:38.second time I've been and I'm amazed at how close you are to the players

:24:39. > :24:43.and that just sort of fascinated me because he's a God when he's moving

:24:44. > :24:47.during the points but in-between, he sort of hovels around like an old

:24:48. > :24:52.man, I hope he won't mind me saying that but that is how it looked to

:24:53. > :24:56.me. I'm not an expert, Miles, but is that fair? Yes, he moves like the

:24:57. > :25:05.rest of us between points, let's be fair. Like me! But it's not uncommon

:25:06. > :25:19.for him and it looks like that hip is very much protecting it. There

:25:20. > :25:23.was a unique match yesterday, his opponent Benoit Paire, he was made

:25:24. > :25:29.to change direction. A couple of drop shots he went for. With Andy,

:25:30. > :25:35.it's like a burst of speed. I don't think that is an issue. Often you

:25:36. > :25:38.see players, they all have niggles. Sometimes in a bizarre way it can be

:25:39. > :25:43.helpful because it takes pressure off, maybe puts a bit of focus on a

:25:44. > :25:46.different area of their game rather than everything being about winning

:25:47. > :25:52.this title. Jo, what are your views on how far

:25:53. > :25:56.Andy Murray can go trying to defend the title? I think as soon as he

:25:57. > :26:02.gets to Wimbledon and gets on Centre Court then he becomes different and

:26:03. > :26:06.of course he might have a sore hip - join the rest of us - but once the

:26:07. > :26:10.points start, he does move just brilliantly, one of the fastest

:26:11. > :26:14.movers on court and he knows how to move on grass court. Health and

:26:15. > :26:18.Safety got that down. I expect him to be in the final and probably

:26:19. > :26:24.playing Roger Federer. That will be interesting, hopefully. Yes. Amanda

:26:25. > :26:28.Owens, in terms of Andy Murray, he's physically and mentally bulked up.

:26:29. > :26:33.Yes. But to cope with a bit of a pain in the hip? No. He's got so

:26:34. > :26:38.much experience and he's so resilient. As Miles pointed out,

:26:39. > :26:42.it's about being able to focus on what you need to focus on at that

:26:43. > :26:46.point, it's not a distraction for him, he's playing really well

:26:47. > :26:53.considering he's been off and has had injury anythings. -- niggles.

:26:54. > :26:57.He's playing really well and said yesterday he was pretty happy with

:26:58. > :27:08.the way he played. Tell us briefly some of the tips you give to the

:27:09. > :27:14.players, tennis, rugby players, that are utilised to cope with daily

:27:15. > :27:16.life? It's about being in the present, focussing on minefulness

:27:17. > :27:23.and the here and now. What does that mean? It's not focussing on the

:27:24. > :27:27.mistake, the shot you have hit or missed and not focussing on an

:27:28. > :27:31.injured hip or anything that can be a distraction. It's being able to

:27:32. > :27:35.refocus and reset and focus on the ball, the point and what you are

:27:36. > :27:39.going to do right now and your game strategy. It's really important,

:27:40. > :27:43.especially for Jo, that she focuses on her game plan and what she needs

:27:44. > :27:52.to do, not on expectation or the bigger picture. OK. Thank you all of

:27:53. > :27:56.you very much. Amanda, Jo and Miles, thank you. Thank you for your

:27:57. > :28:02.comments about the cash in hand economy. We are expecting this

:28:03. > :28:07.report on the way we work in Britain in 2017 which is due I think at

:28:08. > :28:11.about 10. 45-ish and one thing that will be talked about is the cash in

:28:12. > :28:15.hand economy potentially clamping down on that. Kenneth said I lived

:28:16. > :28:19.and worked in the USA, their tax office have a formula on the website

:28:20. > :28:23.with a section where you reply to the end, they'll tell you whether

:28:24. > :28:28.you are self-employed or employed. If they say you are employed, the

:28:29. > :28:32.owner of the company can go to jail. Frank says at last someone wants to

:28:33. > :28:35.do something about cash in hand, I've been saying this for years, the

:28:42. > :28:46.at the lowernd time and again. Self-employed one man bands ask are

:28:47. > :28:49.you paying by cash or cheque. That doesn't mean they are not paying tax

:28:50. > :28:56.on the cash but potentially might not be. Julian as a supply teacher

:28:57. > :28:59.working through an umbrella says, I pay both employees national

:34:52. > :34:54.A row has broken out over the marking of this year's primary

:34:57. > :34:58.unfairly marked down on technicalities, including the size

:34:59. > :35:03.and shape of their commas and semi-colons.

:35:04. > :35:10.Using the hashtag #SATsshambles, teachers pointed out multiple

:35:11. > :35:16.examples of inconsistencies in marking of key stage 2 Sats tests

:35:17. > :35:19.for 10 and 11-year-olds and urged all schools to go

:35:20. > :35:20.through their pupils' marked papers in detail

:35:21. > :35:32.Let us have a look at some examples. The answer is correct, but the M

:35:33. > :35:40.comes slightly out of the box. Look at that. The pupil has been given no

:35:41. > :35:48.marks. That seems very harsh to me. What do I know? Next example. Too

:35:49. > :35:58.hide, semi-colon, even though it is in the correct place -- too high.

:35:59. > :36:06.The semi-colon is... Wow. That pupil has been given zero marks. The third

:36:07. > :36:13.example... The comma is low but it is in the correct place. No marks

:36:14. > :36:15.awarded. That is really tight, isn't it?

:36:16. > :36:18.We can speak now to Brian Walton, primary school head teacher

:36:19. > :36:22.He's been a headteacher for 15 years and is deeply concerned

:36:23. > :36:36.What do you think? It is not hard to say what I think. It is just... How

:36:37. > :36:39.many adults at there can use semi-colons already? The children

:36:40. > :36:45.are using them in the right place and they are being marked wrong

:36:46. > :36:51.because it is too big or the dot is above the letters. Ridiculous,

:36:52. > :36:55.absolutely... What kind of impact does it have on a child when they

:36:56. > :37:00.are marked down, when they get zero, when they have got the correct

:37:01. > :37:04.answer? How would anybody feel if they are getting the correct answer

:37:05. > :37:13.but they are being told it is wrong? It is in just, it is wrong. Also,

:37:14. > :37:17.this is very high stakes, accountable tests. The schools are

:37:18. > :37:22.judged on how they do in these tests. I have been a leader, I

:37:23. > :37:25.support schools up and down the country, headteachers lose their

:37:26. > :37:35.jobs if the results are not good enough, it as that. High-stakes. Who

:37:36. > :37:42.marks the ten one? Pearson. What, sorry? Pearson. The markers are

:37:43. > :37:47.trained and given the role, but I think it goes through Pearson. I do

:37:48. > :37:52.not know enough at this stage. I will. That is all right. The markers

:37:53. > :38:00.have guidelines which suggests that if the letter is slightly out of the

:38:01. > :38:04.box... Yeah, absolutely. This is the controversy going on under the hash

:38:05. > :38:09.tag at the moment. The markers said none of the schools knew about it so

:38:10. > :38:15.a lot of the guidance about the size and shape and the orientation and

:38:16. > :38:20.how we form letters, we did not know that. Already, in year six, we are

:38:21. > :38:25.narrowing the curriculum to make sure children get the standards

:38:26. > :38:34.because the standards are such high stakes. At the same time, this

:38:35. > :38:38.almost Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy marking is going on

:38:39. > :38:43.behind-the-scenes. If you had the guidance that if the semi-colon is

:38:44. > :38:49.too high, they might get a zero, you would have said, lower the

:38:50. > :38:54.semi-colon? We would, but again, there has to be an ethic about if

:38:55. > :39:06.the child can use the semi-colon... Use it technically. Remember, they

:39:07. > :39:10.are putting written by semi-colons, we are getting pernickety when we

:39:11. > :39:16.are getting to that level. We sure are. What do you want to be done

:39:17. > :39:19.about it? First and foremost, there needs to be a review and we need to

:39:20. > :39:23.really look at what has happened this year. We do not know the scale.

:39:24. > :39:29.It has happened on Twitter at the moment. It is an echo Chamber of a

:39:30. > :39:33.small group. I have 50, 60 heads who have contacted me who are outraged.

:39:34. > :39:37.Everyone of them has examples of this, including myself. One of my

:39:38. > :39:44.children has marked wrong. He has written the spelling correctly, but

:39:45. > :39:48.there is too much of a gap between two letters. There needs to be a

:39:49. > :39:52.review of this. I am going to gather their heads together and work with

:39:53. > :39:58.other organisations, very positively. I believe in testing and

:39:59. > :40:05.accountability, but when it is this high-stakes and people's jobs are on

:40:06. > :40:12.the line, something has to change, so we need to review this, seriously

:40:13. > :40:17.take a look at it. Re-marking, are you suggesting, for some of the

:40:18. > :40:22.children marked down perhaps unfairly? What is the purpose of

:40:23. > :40:25.Sats? If we are thinking about children in year six going into year

:40:26. > :40:30.seven, we want the children to have the best knowledge and skills they

:40:31. > :40:35.can for secondary school. They roughly get ?50 million a year, I do

:40:36. > :40:41.not know how much they... How can we have an assessment system working

:40:42. > :40:45.for children, parents, schools? At the moment, what is Sats about? It

:40:46. > :40:51.is about the accountability of primary schools. Thank you very

:40:52. > :40:56.much. Brian Walton, headteacher of a primary school. This statement from

:40:57. > :40:58.Pearson, the company who has done the marking, marking quality is

:40:59. > :41:04.extremely important and something we monitor continuously. In the unusual

:41:05. > :41:08.circumstances that there is an error, there is a review process in

:41:09. > :41:14.place which ensures a fair and transparent system and enables

:41:15. > :41:19.Pearson to correct any discrepancies and ensure pupils receive a fair

:41:20. > :41:24.mark. If you have any examples, do let me

:41:25. > :41:29.know. One year after taking office, Theresa May will make her first

:41:30. > :41:33.major speech since losing her majority at the general election.

:41:34. > :41:40.Norman, how important is this for Mrs May? Welcome to relaunch

:41:41. > :41:45.country, this is where Theresa May is going to try to kick-start her

:41:46. > :41:48.premiership, get the fight but going after the duffing up she had at the

:41:49. > :41:52.hands of the electorate which has left her pretty bruised and

:41:53. > :41:57.battered, it has left the party wondering whether they want to carry

:41:58. > :42:01.on. -- carry on with her. Today she will make her pitch for why she

:42:02. > :42:06.should continue as Prime Minister. Her argument will be this. She is

:42:07. > :42:11.not just focused on Brexit, but there are a whole load of other big

:42:12. > :42:16.issues which successive governments have dodged. Things like social

:42:17. > :42:19.care, an obvious one. Employment rights, we will be hearing a lot of

:42:20. > :42:25.that today. A new industrial strategy. All of the big areas which

:42:26. > :42:29.a lot of governments have looked at and said, I cannot deal with that.

:42:30. > :42:32.She is going to face up to those problems and I want the help of the

:42:33. > :42:36.opposition parties in trying to push through on these things after years

:42:37. > :42:43.when successive governments have filed them in the two difficult

:42:44. > :42:47.draw. The thinking is to say to the troublesome backbenchers who are

:42:48. > :42:52.thinking, we have to get rid of her. Look, I have an agenda that goes on

:42:53. > :42:57.four years, I am not just about Brexit, I am not just going to be

:42:58. > :43:00.here for a few months, I have a serious, long-term agenda, and the

:43:01. > :43:04.hope is it will give her a sense of momentum, purpose, and maybe the

:43:05. > :43:15.backbenchers will think, OK, she clearly has a lot she wants to do,

:43:16. > :43:18.she has energy, ideas. We will carry on with Theresa May. You have to

:43:19. > :43:20.say, it is a big ask because whenever you find clusters of Tory

:43:21. > :43:24.MPs together, they are invariably talking about, can Theresa May

:43:25. > :43:29.survive? A lot of people take the view her authority has been so badly

:43:30. > :43:33.dented by the miscalculation over the general election, the real

:43:34. > :43:36.battle she faces ahead with Brexit, that actually, perhaps, they would

:43:37. > :43:42.be better getting someone else. Today is a attempt to shore up the

:43:43. > :43:47.premiership to try to ensure she stays Prime Minister. She is also

:43:48. > :43:51.going to be addressing workers' rights and the gig economy, isn't

:43:52. > :43:57.she? That is one of the big issues she wants to tackle because the

:43:58. > :44:02.world of work has changed massively in the last five, ten years. We no

:44:03. > :44:07.longer work nine to five, work for a company all your life. People flit

:44:08. > :44:11.around, different jobs, people want more flexibility. We have seen an

:44:12. > :44:15.explosion in the so-called gig economy. The difficulty is, it is a

:44:16. > :44:23.sort of twilight area. People who work for companies like Uber, they

:44:24. > :44:26.are not quite self-employed, they do not have complete control, but they

:44:27. > :44:31.are not really employees. They do not have to turn up at 9am and leave

:44:32. > :44:37.at five. They have a rather vague area. Today we will hear this plan

:44:38. > :44:41.from the man who used to be Tony Blair's big brains, Matthew Taylor,

:44:42. > :44:44.who has come up with is this idea of a new category of worker called

:44:45. > :44:50.dependent contractor and what that will mean is for those people who

:44:51. > :44:55.work for people like Uber, they will gain some of the rights, not all, of

:44:56. > :45:02.employees. They would in future be able to get sick display, holiday

:45:03. > :45:06.pay, potentially the minimum wage. After a year or so, if they had been

:45:07. > :45:11.on is there a contract, they would be able to ask the company to give

:45:12. > :45:17.them a proper full-time contract -- if they had been on a zero hour

:45:18. > :45:22.contract. It is trying to give those more protections. The big snout, I

:45:23. > :45:27.think, is this. Will it actually happen? I say that because looking

:45:28. > :45:32.at the advanced transcripts of Mrs May's speech, a lot of it seems to

:45:33. > :45:36.be about setting benchmarks for companies and I am not entirely sure

:45:37. > :45:40.that there will be legislation to actually make this happen. But we

:45:41. > :45:43.will find out when she speaks. Thank you.

:45:44. > :45:46.Plans to almost double the number of Welsh speakers are being

:45:47. > :45:49.announced with the country's First minister urging the nation to "take

:45:50. > :45:56.The aim is to get a million people speaking Welsh by 2050.

:45:57. > :45:58.In the last Census there were 562,000 Welsh speakers.

:45:59. > :46:01.Under the new proposals there will be an expansion

:46:02. > :46:04.of Welsh speaking nurseries, and an increase in the number

:46:05. > :46:06.of teachers for primary and secondary schools.

:46:07. > :46:11.At the moment there are 391 Welsh speaking primary schools and 23

:46:12. > :46:17.secondary schools The hope is that 70 percent of children leaving

:46:18. > :46:23.So how important is it that the Welsh language

:46:24. > :46:29.Meri Huws is the Welsh Language Commissioner and Ragsy is a singer

:46:30. > :46:32.who who has appeared on the TV programme The Voice,

:46:33. > :46:48.Freddie Greaves is a dad whose kids are in the Welsh-speaking stream.

:46:49. > :47:00.Mari, tell us why you think this is important? We are a by Lang wall

:47:01. > :47:04.country. Bilingual country. In Wales, the use of the language is

:47:05. > :47:09.enhanced in public service, in business, and we really need to

:47:10. > :47:13.enable young people to respond to that channel, to be there, to be

:47:14. > :47:19.part of the workforce -- part of that challenge. To be part of this

:47:20. > :47:23.fascinating journey we are on, creating a bling wall country where

:47:24. > :47:27.the Welsh language is part of everyone's lives in the community in

:47:28. > :47:30.Wales, across Wales and I think that's such a wonderful challenge.

:47:31. > :47:35.This strategy is setting that journey very, very clearly for us.

:47:36. > :47:39.So you are saying there are economic benefits as well as cultural? There

:47:40. > :47:48.are cultural benefits and economic benefits. I speak regularly to

:47:49. > :47:51.employers who're looking for bibilingual workers who could

:47:52. > :47:56.contribute to their companies and we should celebrate the fact that it's

:47:57. > :48:00.very much part of our iedification in Wales and we should be

:48:01. > :48:09.celebrating that and using that economically to exhibition benefit

:48:10. > :48:12.to cultural and social benefit. Hello, Ragsi, how are you? I'm good

:48:13. > :48:17.thank you very much, how are you? Yes, I'm good thank you. Why are you

:48:18. > :48:25.learning to speak Welsh and can you answer in Welsh? I'm trying to. I've

:48:26. > :48:35.only just started in the last couple of weeks learning Welsh so...

:48:36. > :48:43.Skaps he speaks Welsh. Skaps I'm a very passionate Welshman. It's

:48:44. > :48:49.one of those things I've thought about and thought it's never too

:48:50. > :48:54.late in life to learn. I wanted to perform in my native tongue being a

:48:55. > :49:00.Welshman to and to sing with a choir so I ended up releasing a song on St

:49:01. > :49:05.David's Day called Fields at Home. It spurred me on and I became even

:49:06. > :49:11.more passionate to learn the language and hopefully perform more

:49:12. > :49:16.in Welsh as well. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I'm 38. It's

:49:17. > :49:20.interesting that you say you are never too old to learn. Let me bring

:49:21. > :49:23.in Freddie. Two of your children are in the Welsh stream at your school.

:49:24. > :49:27.It's much easier to learn a language when you are young isn't it because

:49:28. > :49:31.your brain is absorbing much more, but how is it going for your

:49:32. > :49:35.children, Freddie? Great. My six-year-old was showing off to me

:49:36. > :49:44.this week that he knows more Welsh than me now so that's great. I was

:49:45. > :49:47.brought up in a part of Wales where there wasn't access to Welsh

:49:48. > :49:52.education so I always felt I missed out on some of the cultural heritage

:49:53. > :49:57.and access. Is that the motivation for you? Was it your kids who wanted

:49:58. > :50:05.to learn Welsh or were you saying I missed out and partly want to live

:50:06. > :50:09.my life through you? They started in the nursery setting and at that

:50:10. > :50:20.point they hadn't formed any opinions on the benefits of

:50:21. > :50:26.bilingualism, but they enjoy it and my daughter enjoys singing in Welsh.

:50:27. > :50:33.I am going to ask Ragsi to sing in Welsh in a moment. Mari, how worried

:50:34. > :50:35.are you about potentially the Welsh language dying out, in Welsh,

:50:36. > :50:43.please? I'm not worried. I'm seeing a new

:50:44. > :50:48.confidence. I think we have just heard that in the two other

:50:49. > :50:53.speakers. Those young people, those children learning Welsh today will

:50:54. > :50:57.be our workforce of the future, our doctors, nurses, and that's going to

:50:58. > :51:01.be a wonderful opportunity for them. It's not only the culture but

:51:02. > :51:09.they'll contribute to Wales and a Wales which will be bilingual.

:51:10. > :51:12.Ragsi, take it away. I don't know how you can hold your phone because

:51:13. > :51:18.you are on face time and I don't know if you have your guitar with

:51:19. > :51:22.you? I haven't but I would like to thank the guys at the university for

:51:23. > :51:27.helping me in learning this language as well with the Welsh school and if

:51:28. > :51:37.anybody wants to check him out go on www. Learn welsh. Cymru. This is the

:51:38. > :51:52.song I released on St David's Day. I will give you a burst of that.

:51:53. > :52:30.That was absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much. That was an unexpected

:52:31. > :52:37.pleasure at 10. 45 on a Tuesday morning! Thank you!

:52:38. > :52:40.We haven't talked about the sort of musicality, I don't mean the music

:52:41. > :52:44.there, but actually the Welsh language is sort of, I don't know,

:52:45. > :52:48.lyrical a bit, is that fair, Mari, what would you say? The Welsh

:52:49. > :52:52.language is amazing, it's a very old language and yes, that musicality

:52:53. > :52:55.and that was a wonderful performance, thank you very, very

:52:56. > :52:58.much, and if you understood the words you would realise how

:52:59. > :53:02.important the words were and how relevant to what is being announced

:53:03. > :53:06.today. We sing, we celebrate and I think what we need to do more and

:53:07. > :53:11.more is celebrate our Welshness and be proud of it. Ragsi, what is the

:53:12. > :53:18.message of what you have just sung to us in Welsh? The song is all

:53:19. > :53:23.about it feels like home and Wales is such a warm, friendly nation and

:53:24. > :53:27.no matter where you go in Wales, it always feels like home so yes,

:53:28. > :53:30.that's the kind of message that I wrote about in that song.

:53:31. > :53:39.Lovely. Thank you so much all of you. Thank you. Freddie good luck to

:53:40. > :53:49.the children, Ragsi thank you for singing and mari, good luck. Thank

:53:50. > :53:56.you. We were talking about school children being marked down in their

:53:57. > :53:59.SATs. We have a statement. They were being marked down for tiny things

:54:00. > :54:03.like putting a letter outside the box that you are supposed to put it

:54:04. > :54:06.in and a semi colon being in the right place but being a bit too

:54:07. > :54:12.high. The Department of Education says: There are a number of measures

:54:13. > :54:15.in place to ensure schools, Key Stage two, teacher assessment

:54:16. > :54:20.judgments are robust and accurate. Teachers have a statutory duty to

:54:21. > :54:23.ensure the school's judgments are an accurate assessment of pupil

:54:24. > :54:27.attainment. They are encouraged to moderate their judgments with other

:54:28. > :54:30.schools. The testing agency takes any issues with accuracy of schools,

:54:31. > :54:35.teacher assessment judgment seriously. Any concerns about

:54:36. > :54:40.particular schools should be reported to the board so they may be

:54:41. > :54:44.properly investigated. Lots of you have been getting in touch with us

:54:45. > :54:48.about this major review into the way we work in Britain today which we

:54:49. > :54:52.talked about earlier on the programme. One key recommendation is

:54:53. > :54:56.tond the so-called cash in hand economy. The report's author claims

:54:57. > :55:02.cash jobs like window cleaning and decorating with worth up to ?6

:55:03. > :55:07.billion a year, much of it untaxed. Brian says every week there seems to

:55:08. > :55:12.be a new car wash opening around here where I live. They charge

:55:13. > :55:15.around ?5 per wash and have cars queueing during the dry days, none

:55:16. > :55:20.of them offer a receipt so the money taken is lost from the economy, many

:55:21. > :55:24.of the car washes are manned by non-speaking Europeans. Christine

:55:25. > :55:28.says, I do believe self-employment is being abused by employers or

:55:29. > :55:32.agencies. However, it is an impossible task to assume it could

:55:33. > :55:36.be wiped out at every level. Many start up businesses with limited

:55:37. > :55:41.funds and have started this way such as retaining, not employing salesmen

:55:42. > :55:45.and contractors and it would be interesting how say knocking the vat

:55:46. > :55:48.off for cash for a customer who often insists on this will be

:55:49. > :55:57.tackled. Let us talk to Liz Mayall, chair of

:55:58. > :56:00.Turf Mark, a scheme that signposts people to local reputable firms and

:56:01. > :56:07.trades people. Hi there. Reputable meaning what? These are uniquely

:56:08. > :56:15.firms that have been tested for and checked for three things; they have

:56:16. > :56:19.obviously been checked for their business practices, good customer

:56:20. > :56:22.references but critically, they have been checked for technical

:56:23. > :56:26.competence and Turf Mark is the only scheme of this sort set up by the

:56:27. > :56:36.Government just over ten years ago, it's the only scheme that does all

:56:37. > :56:40.three of the checks. . -- Trust maencht So you don't mind if your

:56:41. > :56:45.tradesmen get paid cash or not? I prefer they don't. You have no way

:56:46. > :56:49.of what happens when a plumber walks into a customer's house and the

:56:50. > :56:54.conversation that goes on, so how do you know? Trust Mark is about

:56:55. > :56:58.professionalism and the trades people we give the badge to, they

:56:59. > :57:03.earn that badge, they don't buy it and they earn it through their

:57:04. > :57:06.professionalism. A key part of professionalism is about having a

:57:07. > :57:12.really good business practice. It's good for the customer, very good for

:57:13. > :57:16.the businesses as well. What about when the customer says, OK, thanks

:57:17. > :57:21.for your quote, how much for cash, meaning, you know, I'll give you the

:57:22. > :57:25.cash, you don't have to bay the VAT and we won't tell anybody? Well,

:57:26. > :57:31.good tradesmen generally will say I'm sorry that's not the way we

:57:32. > :57:36.operate. We will give you a very good quote, we'll be as competitive

:57:37. > :57:39.as we can, we'll give you the benefits of our expertise and we'll

:57:40. > :57:43.invoice you at the end of the process. There are also other

:57:44. > :57:49.payment options available that if people don't want to do it by

:57:50. > :57:52.cheque, an old-fashioned way of doing thicks, you know, but there

:57:53. > :57:57.are other payment options available. OK, and the other payment options,

:57:58. > :58:04.for example include? Well, if you've got a big project, I would certainly

:58:05. > :58:09.say look at ESCRO schemes, Trust Mark has one, that works where the

:58:10. > :58:13.customer puts in the money, you agree a deal between you and the

:58:14. > :58:18.person, you put the money into a scheme and then that money is

:58:19. > :58:23.released at agreed stages when work is done. If the work is not

:58:24. > :58:29.completed, you get the money back for the work that's not been done.

:58:30. > :58:30.Thank you very much Liz. BBC newsroom live is next. Thanks for

:58:31. > :58:32.your company.
