I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme.

:00:08.:00:12.

There should be a crackdown on the cash-in-hand economy

:00:13.:00:14.

according to the author of a Government-backed

:00:15.:00:16.

He also wants to see far more rights for people in low

:00:17.:00:20.

There are too many people treated at work like they are cogs in a

:00:21.:00:30.

machine, rather than human beings, and there are too many people who do

:00:31.:00:35.

not see a route from their current job to progress and do better and

:00:36.:00:36.

earn more. Do you accept cash in

:00:37.:00:38.

hand and pay tax on it? One of the richest women

:00:39.:00:42.

in the world, Melinda Gates, joins us to explain why millions

:00:43.:00:46.

more women in the poorest parts of the world need better

:00:47.:00:48.

access to contraception. When you travel the world, you meet

:00:49.:00:57.

so many women who will tell you that if they can space the births of

:00:58.:01:02.

their children, they can feed and educate them, and that is what they

:01:03.:01:04.

want to do. You can hear that full

:01:05.:01:06.

interview after 10 o'clock. And for the first time

:01:07.:01:08.

in more than 30 years, Great Britain will be represented

:01:09.:01:10.

in the ladies Wimbledon Johanna Konta says she's just

:01:11.:01:12.

focusing on winning the match. She is delighted she has got this

:01:13.:01:18.

far. Cash jobs like window cleaning

:01:19.:01:33.

and decorating are said to be worth up to ?6 billion a year,

:01:34.:01:40.

so we want to hear from you this morning if you get paid in cash

:01:41.:01:44.

of if you've paid for jobs in cash Do get in touch on all the stories

:01:45.:01:47.

we're talking about this morning - And if you text, you will be charged

:01:48.:01:55.

at the standard network rate. Ending cash-in-hand jobs

:01:56.:02:00.

and changing the rules on the gig economy, where workers get paid

:02:01.:02:04.

per task, are two of the recommendations in a major

:02:05.:02:06.

report into the way we work. The Matthew Taylor review also says

:02:07.:02:09.

there are too many people who are being treated like cogs

:02:10.:02:11.

in a machine, rather Our economics correspondent,

:02:12.:02:14.

Andy Verity, reports. In the last ten years,

:02:15.:02:17.

the economy's generated record numbers of jobs and the lowest

:02:18.:02:22.

unemployment rate in nearly But according to the man who led

:02:23.:02:25.

a government-commissioned review, more jobs hasn't always

:02:26.:02:28.

meant more good jobs. In my view, there's too much work,

:02:29.:02:30.

particularly at the bottom end of the labour market,

:02:31.:02:33.

that isn't of a high enough quality and there's too many people not

:02:34.:02:36.

having their rights fully respected and there are too many people

:02:37.:02:39.

treated at work like cogs in a machine rather than being human

:02:40.:02:42.

beings and there are too many people who don't see a route

:02:43.:02:46.

from their current job to progress The review will recommend that

:02:47.:02:48.

if someone is controlled and supervised, then they're

:02:49.:02:56.

classified as a worker, or dependent contractor,

:02:57.:02:58.

rather than self-employed. Those workers may be entitled

:02:59.:03:02.

to benefits like holiday pay and employers may have to pay

:03:03.:03:05.

national insurance at 13.8%. That's broadly in line

:03:06.:03:10.

with a landmark court ruling in a case brought by this former

:03:11.:03:14.

Uber driver, Yaseen Aslam. I don't think it helps me

:03:15.:03:16.

as a worker for what I've been fighting for in tribunal,

:03:17.:03:22.

and that's what's concerning because the workers have not been

:03:23.:03:25.

involved in the process The review also makes a bigger point

:03:26.:03:27.

that self-employed work, from plumbers to painters, yields

:03:28.:03:34.

far less tax for the Treasury, especially if the work

:03:35.:03:36.

is cash in hand. For consumers, though,

:03:37.:03:39.

the recommendations are likely to mean inexpensive services

:03:40.:03:42.

will no longer be as cheap. Our political guru, Norman Smith,

:03:43.:03:45.

is in Westminster this morning. This report could affect so many

:03:46.:03:58.

people, but I wonder how much change it will really bring about? The mind

:03:59.:04:01.

behind it thinks it will be the biggest step change in employment

:04:02.:04:07.

rules in a generation. He certainly thinks it will be a very big deal

:04:08.:04:10.

and what it is trying to do is address the grey area that gig

:04:11.:04:15.

workers inhabit because they are not quite self-employed, they do not

:04:16.:04:19.

have complete control over their working lives, often beholden to

:04:20.:04:23.

these companies. At the same time, they are not really employees

:04:24.:04:28.

either, not absolutely locked into companies like Uber. They are in a

:04:29.:04:32.

twilight world. What Matthew Taylor is suggesting there ought to be a

:04:33.:04:36.

new category of worker called independent contractor which would

:04:37.:04:43.

enjoy some but not all the rights of employees. They would get holiday

:04:44.:04:48.

pay, sickness benefits, potentially the minimum wage too. Two things

:04:49.:04:53.

strike me. Will it happen? That seems to me a little bit vague

:04:54.:04:59.

because although some people in government are saying, this is a

:05:00.:05:04.

good report, we like it, there is no firm commitment to implement it, to

:05:05.:05:08.

actually make it happen. When you look at the reaction of unions and

:05:09.:05:12.

business, they are not terribly enthusiastic either. The real danger

:05:13.:05:17.

is whether the report will end up like so many reports, there is a big

:05:18.:05:21.

hoo-ha at the time but then it just gets pushed back down the agenda and

:05:22.:05:26.

ends up not being implemented. She is, Norman. Thank you very much.

:05:27.:05:29.

Joanna is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

President Trump's eldest son is facing further allegations

:05:32.:05:35.

about a meeting he held with a Russian lawyer

:05:36.:05:37.

The New York Times says Donald Trump Junior was informed

:05:38.:05:41.

drinking coffee can reduce the risk of heart disease,

diabetes and some cancers. Now two studies, one

American and one European, have both come up with results

that seem to show coffee The study of more than 500,000

:09:43.:09:45.

people from ten European countries found men who downed at least three

:09:46.:09:53.

cups of coffee a day were 18% less likely to die from any cause

:09:54.:09:57.

than non-coffee drinkers. Women drinking the same amount

benefited less but still experienced What the study doesn't show

at an earlier age, and more Welsh-speaking teachers in primary

and secondary schools, as our Wales At Ysgol Glan Morfa, children's

here to spread the word about their new goal

:11:07.:11:09.

for the language, supported We've laid down the gauntlet,

:11:10.:11:11.

if you like, it's a big task, If we really want to do it

:11:12.:11:15.

and we believe we can do it, then Expanding Welsh medium education

:11:16.:11:20.

is at the heart of the strategy. It includes creating 150 Welsh

:11:21.:11:24.

language nursery groups over the next decade and increasing

:11:25.:11:26.

the number of Welsh speaking primary But it's recognised that there must

be opportunities to learn and use There's also a recognition

:11:30.:11:35.

that they need support from parents. Some parents will say, you know,

:11:36.:11:39.

if my kids go to a Welsh medium school, can I help them

:11:40.:11:47.

with their homework? Will all the correspondence be

:11:48.:11:49.

in Welsh from the school? So of course we want

:11:50.:11:51.

to take parents with us. The Welsh language is

footage of a driver who seems It's been released

by police in Norfolk. I wonder if he's going

children as young as five, it must be learnt behaviour. Parents need to

:13:40.:13:45.

take responsibility. No child needs to see anything inappropriate for

their age. Shame on the parents. If you have a child who has sent or

received images, seminaked images, Snapchat images with tassles on your

private bits, we know what we are talking about, let us know how you

have handled it as a mum or dad. On the cash economy, why is paying cash

:14:09.:14:13.

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

:14:14.:14:19.

Young Twitter says, this report by the UK Government is nothing more

:14:20.:14:26.

than a cash grab. Interesting. Cash in hand economy, suggestions today

:14:27.:14:29.

from this report that will be cracked down upon because it means a

:14:30.:14:34.

lot of tax goes unpaid. If you pay cash in hand, receive cash in hand,

:14:35.:14:38.

let me know the reasons why. Somerdale says, I receive cash in

:14:39.:14:43.

hand, the best way to work, cutting out the corrupt middle person. --

:14:44.:14:48.

someone says. No time for the sport. Two British players

:14:49.:14:55.

are through to the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon singles

:14:56.:15:00.

for the first time in 44 years. So can Johanna Konta go one better

but he'll be without team-mate Geraint Thomas who crashed out

on Sunday with a broken collarbone. It's where someone sends

:15:47.:15:50.

naked or semi naked photo to someone else using a phone,

:15:51.:15:58.

tablet or online. In the UK it's illegal to do it

:15:59.:16:02.

if you are under 18 - yet the BBC has learned that more

:16:03.:16:05.

than 4,000 children under the age of 17 have been investigated

:16:06.:16:09.

for sexting since 2013. And nearly 500 of those children

:16:10.:16:14.

were aged 12 or under. Our Newcastle BBC reporter has been

:16:15.:16:34.

investigating. Tell us more? We found there were thousands of

:16:35.:16:40.

under-17s that has been dealt with for sexting, including a number of

:16:41.:16:44.

ten-year-olds and a few older teens that have ended up on the Sex

:16:45.:16:48.

Offenders' Register for it. There are hundreds of primary school age

:16:49.:16:51.

children. We put in Freedom of Information requests to all forces

:16:52.:16:55.

in England and Wales. We found that Greater Manchester Police returned

:16:56.:16:59.

the highest instances of children they dealt with for sexting. Norfolk

:17:00.:17:06.

and Essex have provided us with quite high numbers. The Met police

:17:07.:17:11.

weren't able to respond to our request, saying it would take too

:17:12.:17:14.

long for a member of staff to go through all the records they had. We

:17:15.:17:22.

got some context from some places such an an 11-year-old sending a

:17:23.:17:27.

message via Snapchat to a 12-year-old or a messenger message

:17:28.:17:31.

to an 11-year-old. You have been working on this story for months.

:17:32.:17:34.

What is the most surprising thing you draw from it? I think it's that

:17:35.:17:39.

it's not surprising - everybody I've spoken to when I've said sexting in

:17:40.:17:44.

under-17s, they've rolled their eyes and said sort of, we know what you

:17:45.:17:49.

are talking about. The most alarming thing, there is a five-year-old in

:17:50.:17:55.

County Durham found to be sexting by police. They were using an iPad. A

:17:56.:18:00.

five-year-old can use an iPad, you could give them an iPad for five

:18:01.:18:04.

minutes to entertain themselves but in this case it's been there for a

:18:05.:18:08.

bit longer. We learned the average age for sexting was 13-14-year-olds

:18:09.:18:15.

soI visited a youth club in Sunderland to find out what they

:18:16.:18:18.

knew about sexting. This is what they told me.

:18:19.:18:20.

It's when someone asks you, like, sexual pictures of yourself, or

:18:21.:18:23.

Is where you either like send like dirty

:18:24.:18:28.

messages or, like, nude pictures of yourself.

:18:29.:18:31.

Normally, like, your boobs, your bum.

:18:32.:18:36.

And, like, your private areas which no one asks you to.

:18:37.:18:40.

If it's like a girl it will be, like, your boots, or, like, your

:18:41.:18:45.

If it's like a boy it will be, like, you're down belows.

:18:46.:18:54.

I don't know if it's illegal but certainly

:18:55.:18:57.

I think a lot of people do because that's what people

:18:58.:19:02.

I think a few of my mates have done it.

:19:03.:19:11.

I do know someone that had sent an inappropriate image and

:19:12.:19:18.

basically there was just a lot of trouble in school.

:19:19.:19:20.

Teachers had to get involved with things like that

:19:21.:19:25.

that has happened and went on because it just got sent around

:19:26.:19:28.

People at school were basically just, like, laughing about

:19:29.:19:35.

it and saying like just like it's really like,

:19:36.:19:37.

like, basically they called her a slag.

:19:38.:19:40.

So it's just, like, really upsetting for her.

:19:41.:19:44.

She didn't realise what consequences would actually come from it because

:19:45.:19:47.

she didn't expect him to send it about.

:19:48.:19:49.

She sent a picture to her boyfriend and they fell out and then

:19:50.:19:54.

the pictures got around and she got badly bullied for it.

:19:55.:19:57.

Sexting could lead to put in your name on the sex

:19:58.:20:03.

It can go to the police and it can carry on and stop you from getting

:20:04.:20:10.

It could like ruin your career because if you want

:20:11.:20:14.

to be a teacher or something and if it goes, like,

:20:15.:20:17.

or social media then people will remember

:20:18.:20:23.

Let's talk to Kerry Smith who is from one of the world's

:20:24.:20:30.

largest children's charities, Plan International UK.

:20:31.:20:32.

And Natalie Smith who is the education director of ARC theatre.

:20:33.:20:36.

Their shows tour primary and secondary schools and teach

:20:37.:20:40.

pupils about the consequences of sexting.

:20:41.:20:46.

Hello both of you. Thank you very much for coming on the programme.

:20:47.:20:51.

Your reaction to the fact that so many under-17s have been

:20:52.:20:54.

investigated by the police, including a five-year-old? I think

:20:55.:20:59.

it's true that it's unsurprising that so many under-17s have been

:21:00.:21:03.

investigated. The five-year-old is an extreme example. If you heard

:21:04.:21:06.

your reporter, she was talking about 500 under the age of 12. It shows

:21:07.:21:11.

that we really need to talk to our children at a very young age about

:21:12.:21:14.

both sex and relationships education but also technology and what you do

:21:15.:21:20.

about taking pictures and sharing those images. They're getting mixed

:21:21.:21:26.

up and confused and we need to start the conversations early. There is a

:21:27.:21:29.

real difference between a five-year-old potentially sending an

:21:30.:21:33.

image of themselves naked presumably innocently and perhaps a 14-year-old

:21:34.:21:38.

girlfriend sending it to her boyfriend or vice versa? But if a

:21:39.:21:43.

child has the technology, there isn't a difference and young

:21:44.:21:47.

children want to be like their peers, like the older teenagers so

:21:48.:21:50.

although yes it's probably innocent, if it's got a come radio, video,

:21:51.:21:57.

they're curious -- camera. They're curious about it. Something naughty

:21:58.:22:02.

sets your adrenaline going so it's exciting, especially if you think

:22:03.:22:05.

other people don't know or it might be something you have not done

:22:06.:22:09.

before, it makes it exciting. There is a disconnect between it being

:22:10.:22:12.

against the law and kids doing it. Send a pic in your bedroom, your

:22:13.:22:17.

boyfriend or girlfriend receives it, they might send something back, why

:22:18.:22:21.

would you think that is illegal, what do you say to children about

:22:22.:22:26.

that when you take your show around? One thing that surprises me is that

:22:27.:22:35.

people think their phone is their property, but it's the parent that

:22:36.:22:39.

is liable because they're paying the bill. So we tell them very little is

:22:40.:22:44.

private anyway especially when it comes to the Internet and anything

:22:45.:22:49.

they share on their phone their parents could have access to it and

:22:50.:22:53.

be able to see. That is enough toe make them think about what they're

:22:54.:22:56.

doing but they haven't even twigged that yet. So thinking about this is

:22:57.:23:06.

something they would want to... Anthony says a five-year-old having

:23:07.:23:10.

access to a phone to take photos in the first place. As for

:23:11.:23:13.

criminalising the act of sexting between children, I'm in two minds.

:23:14.:23:17.

Potentially he could be in favour of that. The way the police approach

:23:18.:23:20.

this at the moment is pretty sensible isn't it? Yes. It's a

:23:21.:23:24.

criminal offence so it already is criminalised. He means taking it

:23:25.:23:28.

further? Yes, I mean the police are being sensible. If it's not

:23:29.:23:34.

malicious, the police are going, OK, a crime has been committed but we

:23:35.:23:38.

are not going to take any action. Although some teenagers who've done

:23:39.:23:42.

this "innocently "requests, yes they're breaking the law but they've

:23:43.:23:45.

ended up on the Sex Offenders' Register. We have seen a change in

:23:46.:23:50.

the way in which police are taking forward these cases because of the

:23:51.:23:53.

prevalence of it and the rising number and I think that really

:23:54.:23:57.

speaks to one critical issue which is the sex and relationships

:23:58.:24:00.

education that we have in our schools, the guidance is being

:24:01.:24:04.

reviewed in September this year to be introduced next year and we

:24:05.:24:08.

really need to make sure that children are learning about consent,

:24:09.:24:10.

what it means to get someone's agreement to do something with them

:24:11.:24:16.

but also about technology, so sexting and pornography and there

:24:17.:24:20.

was a survey done this year with parents and the British public.

:24:21.:24:24.

Seven out of ten people said yes, we want our kids to know about sexting,

:24:25.:24:27.

so people know that there is an issue, they want that knowledge

:24:28.:24:30.

shared with children and we've really got to make sure that that is

:24:31.:24:36.

what is happening in schools. Your charity did some work focussing on

:24:37.:24:39.

sexual assaults in schools in this country. How did that come about and

:24:40.:24:43.

is it relevant to the sexting debate? I do think it is. We did a

:24:44.:24:48.

piece of research that showed that in four years, reports of sexual

:24:49.:24:52.

offences doubled and we also did a Freedom of Information request from

:24:53.:24:56.

the Mors, but what it shows to us because what we are hearing from the

:24:57.:25:00.

young people we work with, especially girls, is that they're

:25:01.:25:04.

being sexualised, girls are being pressured, sexting is a gendered

:25:05.:25:09.

issue, more girls are being asked to share and there's double standards,

:25:10.:25:13.

as we saw from the film. The girls are shamed, but not the boys who're

:25:14.:25:19.

holding the phones, but just the girls being shamed. There is a an

:25:20.:25:23.

issue about what is happening in the environments and the streets and how

:25:24.:25:27.

do we educate our people and the communities around them. Parents

:25:28.:25:30.

also need to be confident and understand what is happening with

:25:31.:25:33.

their children and understand what their children are being taught in

:25:34.:25:35.

schools and take that conversation home.

:25:36.:25:40.

So let us talk about parents then because absolutely crucial in how

:25:41.:25:44.

you bring your kids up and what technology you give them access to.

:25:45.:25:47.

What is the advice to parents, Natalie? One question we ask

:25:48.:25:51.

students we work with on our broadcast programme is hands up if

:25:52.:25:54.

you think you know more about social media, mobile phone technology than

:25:55.:26:01.

you parents and every hand went up. Even teachers that spend all their

:26:02.:26:05.

days with these young people are sometimes shocked and horrified and

:26:06.:26:09.

surprised at some of the answers that they're giving us. I think

:26:10.:26:15.

technology's often used as a baby sitting tool, as a peace-keeper, but

:26:16.:26:20.

I think in the ways that adults would use technology, children are

:26:21.:26:24.

using it very similarly but also quiet differently, it gives

:26:25.:26:27.

something different to a young person when they are so connected

:26:28.:26:31.

amongst their friends. So what do we do? Do we make sure we have their

:26:32.:26:37.

passwords for all their social media apps, do we restrict use of the

:26:38.:26:44.

phone? I think we have to educate. Give me some practical tips then,

:26:45.:26:48.

what does that mean? There is an app that parents with get where they can

:26:49.:26:52.

monitor up to five phones. They can allow children access to the

:26:53.:26:56.

Internet or not. They can allow children the ability to play games

:26:57.:26:59.

or not, they can see what is happening on their social media so

:27:00.:27:02.

they are connected. Parents have got to have an interest as well. A lot

:27:03.:27:07.

of parents probably make assumptions about their child's online use that

:27:08.:27:11.

is probably not very close to the truth. We hear especially from young

:27:12.:27:16.

people in secondary schools that they have secret e-mail addresses so

:27:17.:27:22.

they can sign up to them and get pornography accounts and parents

:27:23.:27:24.

don't have a clue about that because they are not doing it themselves.

:27:25.:27:29.

This is a the first generation that we have such a gap. When these

:27:30.:27:33.

children become parents, they'll carry on with that technology and

:27:34.:27:38.

the speed an the change. They share their passwords amongst each other

:27:39.:27:43.

in a way parents don't, so one can carry on their streaks for them if

:27:44.:27:50.

they get their phone taken off them - I'm not speaking from experience

:27:51.:27:55.

here! What you have got to do is work in the school system, work as a

:27:56.:27:59.

family to say what is appropriate behaviour, how do we talk about how

:28:00.:28:04.

we act online and offline and parents actually, we need the kind

:28:05.:28:07.

of information from schools, from providers about how do we talk about

:28:08.:28:12.

sex and relationships and bring technology into that conversation

:28:13.:28:15.

and we also need to create cultures in our families about asking your

:28:16.:28:21.

child if it's OK to take a picture and share it.

:28:22.:28:23.

Thank you both very much. Let me know your thoughts on this.

:28:24.:28:42.

Get in touch. Still to come, Theresa May gives her first speech since the

:28:43.:28:45.

general election. We'll look ahead to some of the things she's going to

:28:46.:28:50.

say. And Jo can that plays in the quarter-finals of Wimbledon. Will

:28:51.:28:55.

she make the semis and the final? More on that later. Time for the

the latest BBC News. Let's head to Wimbledon now

:30:43.:30:44.

and talk to Sally Nugent. And we have yet another huge

:30:45.:30:47.

match to look forward to, with Johanna Konta

:30:48.:30:50.

in the quarterfinals. There are some impressive

:30:51.:30:51.

statistics regarding British That is right. Sometimes sport

:30:52.:31:02.

reporting can be all about the statistics and I try and keep them

:31:03.:31:05.

out of it, but the statistics around this are brilliant. The first time

:31:06.:31:11.

in 44 years we have had a British man and a British woman through to

:31:12.:31:15.

the quarterfinals. We are used to it with Andy Murray, quite blase now.

:31:16.:31:19.

He has made it through to the stage for the last ten years on the trot.

:31:20.:31:24.

An incredible achievement. This time we can start to get a bit excited

:31:25.:31:32.

about Jo Konta. She is playing brilliantly. She has always played

:31:33.:31:37.

brilliantly. A few tweaks in her game she has been working on, her

:31:38.:31:41.

serve, stance on the baseline, but what she has done which is fantastic

:31:42.:31:49.

is she has conquered her nerves. She comes out very focused on court. In

:31:50.:31:53.

interviews, she only talks about the match she has just played. She will

:31:54.:31:58.

not look forward and think, am I going to make the semifinals? She

:31:59.:32:01.

will never let herself think about that and she will need her wits

:32:02.:32:06.

about her playing Simona Halep. She will need to keep calm and keep a

:32:07.:32:10.

handle on the nerves. She has done it so well so far, she has a great

:32:11.:32:18.

chance of top secret weapon, baking muffins every day. Every day? Only

:32:32.:32:37.

chocolate chip. She has had a request for peanut butter and

:32:38.:32:41.

banana. I know too much about this! It is sad. She is baking and it

:32:42.:32:45.

makes her feel, and the whole team love the cake. -- it makes her feel

:32:46.:32:54.

calm. Are we done with Murray? He got through, did all right? I was a

:32:55.:33:02.

bit blase. He plays tomorrow, he is moving brilliantly, better than we

:33:03.:33:06.

thought. If you watch him in training, he is not. How he is

:33:07.:33:10.

managing on court, I don't know. It must be adrenaline. I stayed up late

:33:11.:33:22.

last night, it took 5 cents and almost five hours. Gilles Muller

:33:23.:33:28.

knocked out Rafa Nadal. It was epic. I was shouting at the telly. Rafa

:33:29.:33:32.

Nadal has played brilliantly, playing all of his shots, and yet he

:33:33.:33:37.

was not winning the points. A mammoth match in the end. 15-13. It

:33:38.:33:42.

was incredible to watch and you have to say, Gilles Muller played

:33:43.:33:48.

fantastically. You might be able to hear a strange noise on centre

:33:49.:33:52.

court. I can exclusively reveal that is the roof coming across. A little

:33:53.:33:58.

bit colder today. Raid in the air. No plans to have the roof on when

:33:59.:34:03.

they start but they tend to move the roof back and forward at certain

:34:04.:34:08.

points in the fortnight. -- there is rain in the air. Live sporting

about the cash in hand economy, the review from Matthew Taylor, the way

:34:29.:34:33.

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

:34:34.:34:38.

Clare, so many beauty bars on my street that only accept cash. They

:34:39.:34:42.

are full of stuff that do not really speak English, I do not know how

:34:43.:34:47.

they get away with it. It is commonplace throughout London. Roger

:34:48.:34:53.

tweets, let us be realistic, it is not about employee rights, this

:34:54.:34:58.

report, it is about taxes. Simon e-mails, I am a decorator and I

:34:59.:35:02.

spent 18 months working for a very large construction company and I was

:35:03.:35:07.

forced to work ten hours per day, weekends, or lose my job. Holiday

:35:08.:35:12.

pay was taken from me, paying me through an umbrella company and

:35:13.:35:16.

charging me ?1 50 per week simply to administer my wages. The

:35:17.:35:19.

construction industry is ruled by corporate greed at the expense of

:35:20.:35:25.

workers and their rights. The Government will not stop practices

:35:26.:35:30.

like this while umbrella companies exist. Cash in hand is sometimes the

:35:31.:35:35.

only way to make a living wage. Andrew says, I don't mind them going

:35:36.:35:42.

after cash in hand builders, but only if they go after cash in hand

:35:43.:35:49.

corporations -- go after tax avoiding corporations first.

:35:50.:35:52.

One year after taking office, an embattled Theresa May

:35:53.:35:54.

will make her first major speech since losing her majority

:35:55.:35:58.

It's expected the Prime Minster will reaffirm her commitment

:35:59.:36:01.

of governing for all and not just the 'privileged few'.

:36:02.:36:03.

She's also expected to ask for greater cooperation

:36:04.:36:05.

from opposition parties on some of the biggest issues

:36:06.:36:11.

as a "fightback" by Mrs May, but will that convince anxious

:36:12.:36:16.

This morning we're talking to three who say their confidence

:36:17.:36:20.

in the party and Theresa May as PM has shifted since the election.

:36:21.:36:23.

Let's take a look back at her eventful year in charge.

:36:24.:36:26.

Brexit means Brexit and we're going to make a success of it.

:36:27.:36:28.

I have just been to Buckingham Palace where Her

:36:29.:36:31.

Majesty the Queen has asked me to form a new government

:36:32.:36:33.

If you're just managing, I want to address you directly.

:36:34.:36:38.

The Article 50 process is now under way

:36:39.:36:42.

and in accordance with the wishes of the British people, the United

:36:43.:36:45.

Kingdom is leaving the European Union.

:36:46.:36:47.

The only way to guarantee certainty and stability for the

:36:48.:36:54.

years ahead is to hold this election and seek your support for the

:36:55.:36:57.

Nothing has changed. Nothing has changed.

:36:58.:37:04.

The Conservative Party has won the most

:37:05.:37:16.

seats and probably the most votes, then it will be encumbant on us

:37:17.:37:19.

to ensure that we have that period of stability and that is

:37:20.:37:22.

Lauren Foskett is a working mum of two who describes herself

:37:23.:37:39.

She says although Theresa May's leadership has been

:37:40.:37:49.

a disappointment, but she's still supporting her,

:37:50.:37:51.

and Adam Fahn is a facilities manager, he's in Brighton,

:37:52.:37:54.

and he says he'd still rather have Mrs May as PM than Jeremy Corbyn.

:37:55.:37:58.

Welcome. Lauren, explain why you are an unhappy Conservative photo. The

:37:59.:38:06.

campaign that Theresa May round was appalling. I think she lacks

:38:07.:38:13.

charisma. As the campaign went on, I felt that she was not somebody who

:38:14.:38:20.

deserved my vote, but I thought the alternative was too horrible to

:38:21.:38:24.

contemplate so I still voted Tory. Appalling? Like a robot, kept

:38:25.:38:29.

repeating the strong and stable mantra. Is this for real? Will she

:38:30.:38:35.

continue to do this? She seemed to do that. She alienate it a lot of

:38:36.:38:40.

core voters. Lorraine, have you been disappointed in her leadership? Yes,

:38:41.:38:48.

I have. She had so much promise. The first woman PM for this century. She

:38:49.:38:54.

came in strong. I liked her approach to Brexit. But it has been

:38:55.:39:00.

undermined. She named a calculated risk which flew in the face of the

:39:01.:39:04.

electorate -- she made. They said they would not be manipulated and

:39:05.:39:10.

the younger votes came out and we are where we are now and she is in a

:39:11.:39:13.

worse position than she was and it will go down in history as an

:39:14.:39:19.

absolute nightmare, really. We will come back in a moment to what you

:39:20.:39:23.

want to see from her in the coming months, let us bring in Adam. Hello.

:39:24.:39:33.

How would you describe Theresa May as Prime Minister and the leader of

:39:34.:39:37.

the Conservative Party? She deserves our support and she needs to stay

:39:38.:39:40.

because the alternative does not bear thinking about for me but I do

:39:41.:39:43.

not then she connected with people enough and explained the policies

:39:44.:39:49.

enough to be able to appeal to more people and it allowed Jeremy Corbyn

:39:50.:39:55.

to attack and win more votes. Is it about her, the way she is, or the

:39:56.:39:59.

Conservative manifesto in the run-up to the general election? I think the

:40:00.:40:05.

last election was more about individual leaders. Whether that is

:40:06.:40:08.

right or wrong, that is what we were seeing. It was both. The way she put

:40:09.:40:13.

it across. But there were things in the manifesto, things discussed in

:40:14.:40:17.

the lead up to the election, that did not need to be discussed and it

:40:18.:40:23.

lost us votes. I can hear you two agreeing. We were talking about it

:40:24.:40:27.

and why did they bring fox hunting into it? Why did they think -- why

:40:28.:40:34.

do you think? Presumably they thought people would be rallied by

:40:35.:40:40.

it but it a near naked people. A lot of the policies seem to be picking

:40:41.:40:44.

on people they know will vote for them and then they alienate them.

:40:45.:40:48.

They did not talk about Brexit which was the thing she went to the

:40:49.:40:53.

country for, Brexit. Lorraine, what do you think about Theresa May's

:40:54.:40:58.

approach to Brexit? Do you know what it is? Yes, I am clear. But I liked

:40:59.:41:08.

her original approach because as a negotiator, you have to go in

:41:09.:41:13.

highly, hard, set out your stall. Then you have got wiggle room to

:41:14.:41:20.

negotiate down. To go in softly, softly, it is not the way. At the

:41:21.:41:25.

end of the day, we have to get the consensus of 26, 27 other countries,

:41:26.:41:30.

that in itself will be a steep mountain to climb. It is about

:41:31.:41:36.

negotiation. The now she is going softer, she recognises the

:41:37.:41:42.

electorate are some of them, they were not quite clued up as to

:41:43.:41:46.

exactly what Brexit meant and what they were giving up. The fact she

:41:47.:41:51.

wants to have some consensus across the party lines, I think that is a

:41:52.:41:58.

move. In the run-up to the election, it was talked about, though more

:41:59.:42:01.

bipartisan approach to discussing what will be best for the country.

:42:02.:42:08.

Forget party lines. Forget that you are Labour, liberal, whatever. Get

:42:09.:42:11.

the best heads together to do what is best for the country. It is not

:42:12.:42:15.

about her running out of ideas. It is about Labour four example has the

:42:16.:42:21.

same ideas in certain quarters as the Conservatives. It is about let

:42:22.:42:27.

us get consensus early on because, God knows, she has not got a

:42:28.:42:31.

majority in the House, time is of the essence. Yes, her approach, I

:42:32.:42:37.

think it is right. Do you like what we are told is going to be in the

:42:38.:42:41.

speech today where she will say the opposition parties to contribute,

:42:42.:42:48.

not just criticise? Yes, I do. She has not got much choice now. I

:42:49.:42:52.

really do not like how adversarial our politics is and it is so

:42:53.:42:58.

combative and it is about winning points and we really need to come

:42:59.:43:02.

together as a country. I do not think she has any choice and I think

:43:03.:43:05.

it would be nice to see the opposition coming on board. Adam,

:43:06.:43:11.

William Hague, for a Tory Party leader, I do not what you thought of

:43:12.:43:16.

him, writing any newspaper today has this warning to Conservative MPs,

:43:17.:43:19.

any MP thinking it might be better to jeopardise the Government than to

:43:20.:43:24.

swallow a compromise from time to time, he means about Brexit, should

:43:25.:43:28.

get clear now that such thinking is naive and dangerous in the extreme.

:43:29.:43:33.

What do you think about that? We voted for Brexit as a country. There

:43:34.:43:37.

are a number of opportunities that will come out of it. We have to

:43:38.:43:43.

negotiate. But we must remember what people voted for. We must deliver

:43:44.:43:49.

that. But we have to negotiate. What do you think specifically people

:43:50.:43:54.

voted for? I think different people voted for different things. There

:43:55.:44:02.

was certainly some... I think people made a decision ultimately to leave

:44:03.:44:08.

the EU, but not to stop trading, not to stop visiting, not to stop people

:44:09.:44:11.

coming here and all of the other things we do together. It was just

:44:12.:44:18.

not to have a political union. Yes. Agreed. The immigration was... To

:44:19.:44:32.

others, it was a big issue. But to the centre, it is about control. We

:44:33.:44:37.

already have a lot of our own control, we are not part of the

:44:38.:44:42.

Schengen zone. That was the problem. We were not given enough information

:44:43.:44:47.

and it was not there to give. There were lies and scaremongering,

:44:48.:44:51.

blatant lies, how do you make a decision based on that? Let us not

:44:52.:44:57.

rerun history. What do you want? Cross-party consensus on Brexit,

:44:58.:45:02.

what else do you want? Mrs May says it is not just about Brexit, her

:45:03.:45:07.

premiership. What else do you want from her as a conservative voter? I

:45:08.:45:11.

want to look at other policies like housing. I think... Building more.

:45:12.:45:20.

Affordable housing. Also landlords, section 24, I would like to have

:45:21.:45:24.

that looked into because that supports local authorities, issues

:45:25.:45:34.

about landlords over what the last Conservative administration did, and

:45:35.:45:37.

in terms of making sure that we have a large pool of housing, if the

:45:38.:45:42.

local authorities cannot support that, we need to help the landlords,

:45:43.:45:46.

instead of taxing them. Are you a landlord? Sky yes, I am. I thought

:45:47.:45:55.

you might be! Just to be transparent! What about you, Lauren?

:45:56.:46:01.

I would like to see cross-party consensus about some sort of plan

:46:02.:46:05.

for social care. Both of my parents went into a care home and their

:46:06.:46:09.

house has to be sold to pay for that. My father unfortunately died

:46:10.:46:13.

but my brother is in a care home now and as it stands there will be

:46:14.:46:17.

nothing left wants the care is paid for. Some of the policies they

:46:18.:46:21.

touched on in the election sounded like they might be fair but there

:46:22.:46:24.

was not enough information and I would quite like to see that

:46:25.:46:28.

discussed but it needs to be a broad discussion. Adam, final thought?

:46:29.:46:35.

Keep going, you're our Prime Minister, a strong and stable

:46:36.:46:39.

economy which will deliver us good, health care education, all the

:46:40.:46:42.

things that I think we all want no matter who we voted for, so get on

:46:43.:46:46.

and do it and you've got my support. Thank you very much. Thank you.

:46:47.:46:52.

Likewise. Thank you. Thank you to all of my guests. Good luck and

:46:53.:46:55.

thank you very much for coming on the programme.

:46:56.:46:56.

Coming up, Melinda Gates and Secretary of State

:46:57.:46:59.

for International Development Priti Patel joins us to explain why

:47:00.:47:02.

millions more women in the poorest parts of the world need better

:47:03.:47:08.

is going to make today, she's going to talk

:47:09.:47:13.

More of us are self-employed than ever before and more of us

:47:14.:47:17.

are taking up jobs in the so-called gig economy - people get paid

:47:18.:47:20.

for individual jobs rather than getting a weekly wage.

:47:21.:47:23.

According to one definition, that's "labour market characterised

:47:24.:47:24.

by the prevalence of short-term contracts or freelance work,

:47:25.:47:27.

But a lot of workers find their jobs are insecure and exploitative.

:47:28.:47:31.

The person tasked by the government to review the country's working

:47:32.:47:33.

practices, Matthew Taylor, will report back

:47:34.:47:36.

Now we can speak to Megan Brown, a courier, working for Deliveroo,

:47:37.:47:50.

Paula Ventura, a government cleaner campaigning for the London Living

:47:51.:47:53.

Wage, which is ?9.75 an hour, Joeli Brearley,

:47:54.:47:55.

from Pregnant Then Screwed, who was sacked when pregnant

:47:56.:47:58.

and Diane Nicol, employment lawyer who helped with Matthew Taylor's

:47:59.:48:04.

working for Deliveroo means you are technically an independent

:48:05.:48:16.

contractor delivering food from restaurants

:48:17.:48:19.

for them to customers, not an employee of theirs.

:48:20.:48:22.

Do you feel like an independent contractor?

:48:23.:48:26.

No, I don't think I'm an independent contractor, I don't think I'm

:48:27.:48:32.

running my own business. This is complete nonsense. OK. Because you

:48:33.:48:36.

are seen as an independent contractor, up until now, then you

:48:37.:48:40.

don't get sick pay, minimum wage et cetera. Indeed. The review is going

:48:41.:48:45.

to suggest that you are a dependent contractor because you are

:48:46.:48:49.

controlled and supervised by your company, does that sound about

:48:50.:48:54.

right? Yes. This is based on the worker status which already stands

:48:55.:48:58.

in law which would entitle us to national minimum wage, holiday pay,

:48:59.:49:07.

things like that. Diane, how would you define this? The difficulty

:49:08.:49:11.

before has been the lack of clarity between someone who is truly

:49:12.:49:16.

self-employed and workers that Megan's just referred to. The Taylor

:49:17.:49:22.

review recommendations want a distinction between the two and they

:49:23.:49:25.

want to make it clear to employers and workers alike that that status

:49:26.:49:32.

exists because, quite often, more unscrupulous engagers and employers

:49:33.:49:38.

deny worker status. Obviously it requires the rights that they don't

:49:39.:49:43.

want to follow through on like holiday pay. One of the

:49:44.:49:47.

recommendations is that there is clarity in law. They need to issue

:49:48.:49:53.

them with a statement of terms and conditions just as employers are

:49:54.:49:57.

entitled to so that they and their employers and engagers are really

:49:58.:50:01.

clear on their rights and responsibilities too. Thank you for

:50:02.:50:09.

coming on the programme. You clean offices in the Loos of a Government

:50:10.:50:14.

department from 5 am to 11 am, is that right? Until 9 am. So each

:50:15.:50:23.

morning? Yes. Are you paid the minimum wage? Yes. But it's not

:50:24.:50:34.

enough? It's not enough because, I see my colleagues, we work so hard,

:50:35.:50:39.

they are short staffed, they don't book anybody else to help us and the

:50:40.:50:43.

staff are feeling tired and then last week we had a meeting and then

:50:44.:50:50.

the company said we are talking with the owners of the building, then

:50:51.:50:54.

they just decide they're not going to pay for the living wage. As we

:50:55.:51:02.

knew, many buildings in the same road, Whitehall, they pay the living

:51:03.:51:07.

wage, the same company. That is why my colleagues and me were talking

:51:08.:51:12.

about this. We are ask ourselves why they don't pay us. Just to be clear,

:51:13.:51:17.

the company that employs you is not paying you the London living wage

:51:18.:51:22.

which is ?9.75 an hour, so that is above the minimum wage, but does pay

:51:23.:51:26.

the London living wage to other employees? No. No it doesn't or it

:51:27.:51:34.

does? No, they don't pay to us in our building but the same company

:51:35.:51:40.

pay for like number 22 Whitehall, they pay to FCO, the London living

:51:41.:51:45.

wage. Jo understood. They don't pay it to us. Why do you think that is?

:51:46.:51:50.

They said they want to consult the owners of the building and they

:51:51.:51:53.

decide that they cannot pay the living wage to us. What do you think

:51:54.:52:00.

about that? I think it's wrong because we work hard from 5am and

:52:01.:52:07.

then the company win money because it's business, yes, and then I think

:52:08.:52:12.

they should look after the staff more. If we are feeling good, we

:52:13.:52:17.

work better and then they're going to get profit as well. They should

:52:18.:52:28.

pay the London living wage because my husband and me, we are

:52:29.:52:33.

campaigning for five years now, my husband left the company now I'm

:52:34.:52:38.

just working there for 12 years. I think it's unfair because I should

:52:39.:52:41.

trust in a company that I'm working for a long time there, but I've just

:52:42.:52:47.

concluded that they don't do anything to help employees, they

:52:48.:52:51.

don't care about us. Then I feel really bad. Yes. Yes.

:52:52.:52:56.

Is this review going to touch on the living wage, do you know? We don't

:52:57.:53:01.

comment specifically on the living wage but a we do comment on

:53:02.:53:07.

enforcement of living a minimum wage and enhancing enforcement so that

:53:08.:53:10.

people like yourself and your husband will be able to complain

:53:11.:53:16.

about the fact that there is nonpayment and then the Government

:53:17.:53:21.

through the HMRC will be able to enforce those wages. Also I think I

:53:22.:53:26.

heard you earlier talking to someone about agency workers and umbrella

:53:27.:53:30.

companies and that is all going to be reviewed and looked at as well in

:53:31.:53:34.

relation to providing much more clarity and transparency around what

:53:35.:53:39.

agency workers and those who're A typical and perhaps more capable of

:53:40.:53:44.

exploitation are paid. Let me bring in Joeeli. Hi there --

:53:45.:53:52.

Joeli. You were sacked when you told your boss you were pregnant which is

:53:53.:53:57.

shocking. What protections are you looking for from this Government

:53:58.:54:04.

review? We'd like to see greater parity between self-employed people,

:54:05.:54:08.

people on zero hour contracts, women who run own businesses and women in

:54:09.:54:13.

precarious work because, at the moment, workers have very little

:54:14.:54:17.

rights in terms of maternity so they have no right to time off for

:54:18.:54:26.

antenatal appointments, paid work. Self-employed women have no rights

:54:27.:54:32.

to maternity leave, yet the benefits are dependent on them taking

:54:33.:54:38.

maternity leave. People who're self-employed don't get 90% of pay

:54:39.:54:43.

for the first six weeks which employees are entitled to and men

:54:44.:54:48.

have no right to paternity leave if they're self-employed. So we'd

:54:49.:54:52.

really lake to see greater parity between those two types of

:54:53.:54:54.

employees. Is that something that is covered?

:54:55.:54:58.

Without giving too much away, I think the nature of the

:54:59.:55:02.

self-employed rights to maternity and paternity is something that is

:55:03.:55:07.

part of a recommendation and there is also a recommendation around

:55:08.:55:12.

consolidation of the guidance on the rights that pregnant workers and

:55:13.:55:18.

those on maternity leave have. There is a recommendation that the

:55:19.:55:22.

legislation is looked at slightly longer term. Obviously what we are

:55:23.:55:27.

trying to achieve here is a balance of rights and responsibilities

:55:28.:55:31.

between the rights of the worker and the responsibilities of the

:55:32.:55:34.

employers and engagers, so there are recommendations on those points. OK.

:55:35.:55:42.

That sounds potentially hopeful, Joeli but Diane can't give much away

:55:43.:55:46.

because the report isn't officially released until an hour or so. Claire

:55:47.:55:51.

says, I have worked as a self-employed contractor being paid

:55:52.:55:55.

per job. I think the company that provide this is can sometimes

:55:56.:55:59.

exploit workers, giving them set schedules to work. So there is no

:56:00.:56:04.

flexibility, putting pressure on me to take extra jobs and shifts but

:56:05.:56:07.

still not giving sick pay, holiday pay or a pension or any kind of

:56:08.:56:11.

benefit. I'm not saying that every company acts this way, but the one I

:56:12.:56:16.

worked for did. I felt harassed and blackmailed to keep my job with

:56:17.:56:22.

them, taking shifts I did not want and yet I was "self-employed". That

:56:23.:56:29.

is the mischief that we are trying to address in the report which is

:56:30.:56:38.

the honest approach to status and it sounds to me - I wouldn't obviously

:56:39.:56:42.

give legal advice - but it sounds to me that in the new world that's been

:56:43.:56:46.

recommended that person would fall into the category of dependent

:56:47.:56:50.

worker and be entitled to holiday pay and so on. OK. Regarding what

:56:51.:56:55.

you have told us, we have got a statement from the Cabinet Office,

:56:56.:56:59.

they say: We outsource our cleaning services to a private company which

:57:00.:57:04.

is responsible for setting pay. The Government is committed to tackling

:57:05.:57:09.

low pay and we ensure all of our contractors comply with statutory

:57:10.:57:16.

and legal obligations. With regards to yourself and Deliveroo, this

:57:17.:57:22.

statement: Riders receive ?9. 50 across the UK, above the national

:57:23.:57:26.

average. We want to offer high paid flexible work but want to offer the

:57:27.:57:31.

riders benefits, they value the flexibility that self-employment

:57:32.:57:35.

provides. If a recent poll, 82% of riders said flexible work is what

:57:36.:57:39.

attracted them to Deliveroo. The report is out in an hour. We'll see

:57:40.:57:43.

what it says then. Thank you all very much.

:57:44.:57:46.

Let's get the latest weather update with Benhaz Akhgar.

:57:55.:58:01.

We can look forward to some rain today, welcome news for gardeners

:58:02.:58:09.

and growers after a dry few days. We have seen some rain this morning.

:58:10.:58:19.

Also some sunshine. This was the scene in Troon in Scotland. The

:58:20.:58:26.

reason for the rain, this weather front is bringing it, it's coming

:58:27.:58:31.

west-to-east the rest of today and into this evening. We have a trough

:58:32.:58:36.

bringing a few showers through Scotland but they're mainly light in

:58:37.:58:40.

nature. Sunshine in-between the showers, the best of the drier

:58:41.:58:43.

weather for Northern Ireland. The rain continuing to push its way east

:58:44.:58:46.

across England and Wales through the afternoon. Northern parts are the

:58:47.:58:52.

best areas today if you are looking for drier conditions.

:58:53.:58:55.

Northern Ireland enjoying the best of the brightness as well. Into

:58:56.:59:00.

England and Wales, a lot of cloud. The rain turning patchy for a time

:59:01.:59:04.

but intensifying again into late afternoon. Essentially it's feeling

:59:05.:59:11.

much fresher with temperatures below for this time of year. A bit breezy

:59:12.:59:16.

along the coasts. If you are going to Wimbledon, a few showers likely.

:59:17.:59:23.

Temperatures up to 18 Celsius, feeling fresher than the past few

:59:24.:59:27.

days. The rain will continue to fall across England and waeltion. Further

:59:28.:59:32.

north, they'll tend to clear away. It will be a chilly night. South and

:59:33.:59:38.

east will hang on to the rain and it will be a little blustery as well.

:59:39.:59:42.

Temperatures should be more comfortable for sleeping tonight,

:59:43.:59:45.

ranging between seven to 14. Tomorrow we'll see the rain across

:59:46.:59:49.

the south-east first thing. That will clear through and high pressure

:59:50.:59:52.

is in charge of the weather. We can look forward to plenty of sunshine

:59:53.:59:56.

with light winds. It will feel pleasant, it's a lovely looking day

:59:57.:00:01.

with temperatures tomorrow ranging between 14 to about 22. We are

:00:02.:00:04.

feeling much more comfortable and less humid. By the time we head into

:00:05.:00:09.

Thursday, we have the risk of a few showers across parts of the north

:00:10.:00:13.

and west. Equally sunny spells to look forward to. The best of the

:00:14.:00:16.

drier and brighter weather across the south-east. Temperatures ranging

:00:17.:00:20.

between 14 to about 23. Remaining cloudy as we head towards the end of

:00:21.:00:22.

the week. Hello, it's Tuesday, it's 10

o'clock, I'm Victoria Derbyshire. In major report into the way we work

:00:29.:00:38.

in Britain calls for sweeping changes. Quite often, more

:00:39.:00:49.

unscrupulous employers deny the status of workers because it

:00:50.:00:53.

requires a tier of rights but they do not want to follow through on. We

:00:54.:00:56.

will talk more about the report. Do you accept cash in hand or do

:00:57.:01:01.

you always pay cash in hand? Window painting, the decorating? Do

:01:02.:01:06.

you take cash? Do you pay tax on it? Melinda Gates joins us to explain

:01:07.:01:13.

why millions more women need better When you travel the world, you meet

:01:14.:01:27.

so many women that will tell you that if they can space the births of

:01:28.:01:32.

their children, they can feed and educate them and that is what they

:01:33.:01:38.

want to do. The foundation is promising ?300 million to help pay

:01:39.:01:40.

for the contraception. You can hear that full interview

of the recommendations in a major to Tony Blair, Matthew Taylor,

:02:09.:02:11.

where workers get paid per task, should receive

:02:22.:02:35.

of work amongst lower paid, lower skilled workers. What we have to do

is tackle exploitation so there are too many people who suffer one-sided

:02:40.:02:44.

flexibility, their employers have lots of flexibility but it is not

:02:45.:02:48.

how it feels to them, they are insecure, they do not feel they have

:02:49.:02:50.

a voice at work. President Trump's eldest son

Liz has a bit more sport. Good morning.

:05:46.:05:53.

Manic Monday really lived up to its billing, with one shock exit,

:05:54.:05:56.

one match postponed and, of course, two British

:05:57.:05:59.

players through to the quarterfinals of the singles.

It is those positions, though situations, that I dream of and

dreamt of when I was a little girl, and now, to be a part of those

:06:31.:06:34.

battles on big stages, so I think that is what it is about, to be a

:06:35.:06:37.

professional athlete. Andy Murray reached

little bit concerned. When you have issues just a few days before a big

:07:03.:07:06.

event, it is frustrating. I have managed it well and I think I have

:07:07.:07:10.

played some good stuff. Today was the best I have played so far in the

:07:11.:07:16.

tournament. Yeah, I am doing well, so hopefully, keep it up.

:08:56.:09:09.

Millions of women in some of the poorest parts of the world

:09:10.:09:12.

Now one of the richest women in the world, Melinda Gates,

:09:13.:09:16.

The issue is being discussed at a big international

:09:17.:09:20.

When a similar event was held five years ago, a pledge was made

:09:21.:09:24.

for contraception to reach 120 million extra women by 2020.

:09:25.:09:26.

Today, both the UK Government and the Gates Foundation have

:09:27.:09:30.

committed extra cash to help that target be met - but is it enough?

:09:31.:09:35.

Earlier I spoke to Melinda Gates and to Priti Patel, who is

:09:36.:09:37.

the Secretary of State for International Development.

:09:38.:09:39.

Thank you both very much for talking to us.

:09:40.:09:46.

Let me ask you, first of all, Melinda Gates, why contraception is

:09:47.:09:49.

so important to women and girls in the poorest countries?

:09:50.:09:51.

Well, when you travel the world, you meet so

:09:52.:09:53.

many women that will tell you that if they can space the births of

:09:54.:09:57.

their children, they can feed and educate them and that's

:09:58.:10:00.

So if we allow them to have these tools, if we offer

:10:01.:10:12.

them, and we teach them about their bodies,

:10:13.:10:15.

they will readily take them up because they

:10:16.:10:17.

know it makes a huge difference for lifting themselves and their

:10:18.:10:20.

So there is a direct link, you are saying,

:10:21.:10:23.

between contraception and education for women?

:10:24.:10:24.

And women will tell you all over the world, many of them

:10:25.:10:29.

know about their bodies, they know about

:10:30.:10:31.

contraceptives, but they need to know more.

:10:32.:10:33.

And then once they have that information, they readily take them

:10:34.:10:35.

up because they want to space the births

:10:36.:10:37.

of their children, because

:10:38.:10:41.

they will say, if I can space the births of my

:10:42.:10:44.

children, I can then feed my kids and I can educate them.

:10:45.:10:47.

And for them their future is all about educating their kids.

:10:48.:10:50.

155 million women in the developing world currently use no

:10:51.:10:52.

We don't fund it and the supply chains are broken, and so

:10:53.:11:01.

in places like Senegal in West Africa, contraceptives, until we

:11:02.:11:03.

started this programme, had been stocked out 80% of the time.

:11:04.:11:06.

So, women will tell you, I leave my field, I have to make

:11:07.:11:09.

up a reason for my husband that I'm going into town,

:11:10.:11:17.

and then I get to the clinic and what I want isn't there.

:11:18.:11:20.

It's literally a life and death prices

:11:21.:11:22.

You are, your foundation, the Bill and Melinda

:11:23.:11:25.

Gates Foundation, is promising an extra $375 million.

:11:26.:11:26.

That's an extraordinary sum of money, over the

:11:27.:11:28.

next four years, for global family planning efforts.

:11:29.:11:30.

What is driving you to focus the money

:11:31.:11:34.

Because Bill and I see the difference it makes, see how

:11:35.:11:38.

transformative it is in families' lives, and if women can take these

:11:39.:11:42.

tools up, and we see this demographic bulge that's happening,

:11:43.:11:46.

1.2 billion adolescents, it's the biggest population of adolescents

:11:47.:11:51.

we've ever had in the history of the Earth

:11:52.:11:55.

developing world and if we don't offer them contraceptives, you are

:11:56.:11:59.

basically putting them into a life of destitute poverty.

:12:00.:12:04.

Whereas if you can offer a girl contraceptives,

:12:05.:12:06.

She will tell you, I want to stay in school,

:12:07.:12:09.

I don't want to have that first baby until I'm ready.

:12:10.:12:12.

And today, one in five girls in the developing world

:12:13.:12:14.

under the age of 18 die because of a pregnancy.

:12:15.:12:17.

So we know this is one of the most important things we can

:12:18.:12:21.

do and we are offering this money to really go after

:12:22.:12:23.

Priti Patel, the UK Government is pledging an extra 45

:12:24.:12:27.

million a year, I think, for the next five years.

:12:28.:12:29.

Because, as Melinda has said and explained, the

:12:30.:12:35.

need, the demand is enormous in the world.

:12:36.:12:40.

You know, there are still in excess of 214 million women and

:12:41.:12:42.

girls who simply do not have access to modern methods of family planning

:12:43.:12:46.

Just explain to our audience why it's the

:12:47.:12:49.

responsibility of British taxpayers to fund that.

:12:50.:12:54.

Well, we are world leaders, obviously, working with our

:12:55.:12:56.

partners such as the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and

:12:57.:12:58.

many others in this whole area because of the wider implications.

:12:59.:13:02.

You know, in terms of poverty

:13:03.:13:05.

in particular - that women and girls are trapped in

:13:06.:13:08.

that vicious cycle of poverty if they come out of education.

:13:09.:13:10.

If they live in rural and poorer parts of

:13:11.:13:14.

the developing world, they have no access to modern methods of

:13:15.:13:18.

That means that their families are just going to increase,

:13:19.:13:24.

they don't get to space out the number of children that they have,

:13:25.:13:27.

and they are trapped in that vicious cycle and that is not good for them.

:13:28.:13:30.

It's certainly not good for their countries as well

:13:31.:13:33.

when those young women and girls could get their

:13:34.:13:35.

education and then become educated, and even go to work as well and

:13:36.:13:38.

The great thing about the summit that we have

:13:39.:13:45.

taking place today in London is that we have a range

:13:46.:13:48.

of our partners who are attending, but also finance

:13:49.:13:50.

ministers, health ministers and development ministers from many of

:13:51.:13:52.

these countries who themselves know that they need to do more work in

:13:53.:13:58.

this area and they want to work with us, the British Government,

:13:59.:14:01.

and with the partners as well, to ensure that

:14:02.:14:03.

we can deal with those supply issues.

:14:04.:14:07.

Those really crunch supply issues and get in contraceptives to

:14:08.:14:10.

You will know, there will be people watching you who will say, we have

:14:11.:14:16.

poverty in this country, we don't need to be spending British

:14:17.:14:19.

taxpayers' money funding contraception for women in the

:14:20.:14:21.

Well, I would disagree with that pretty strongly,

:14:22.:14:24.

because, of course, you know, we have to do our bit as well as a

:14:25.:14:27.

world leader when it comes to not just leading the world on aid and

:14:28.:14:31.

development, but also in this area as well.

:14:32.:14:33.

We are working with UK firms, pharmaceutical companies as well, to

:14:34.:14:38.

really lower the price of commodities, to really, you know,

:14:39.:14:40.

get the commodities to the women and girls that need this.

:14:41.:14:43.

But also, to tackle some of the big challenges

:14:44.:14:46.

The population bulge in developing countries is just going

:14:47.:14:50.

And of course that has big pressures on our resources,

:14:51.:14:56.

it has an enormous pressure on migration,

:14:57.:14:58.

on the lack of jobs that

:14:59.:14:59.

are being created in poor countries, and we are trying to work to tackle

:15:00.:15:03.

some of those major global challenges.

:15:04.:15:07.

We do this not on our own, obviously, but with our partners

:15:08.:15:10.

and the United Kingdom is stepping up in this area.

:15:11.:15:12.

Melinda Gates, you are Catholic, the Catholic Church is

:15:13.:15:14.

How much of an issue is that for you?

:15:15.:15:38.

What I know and what I believe is, I'm in and out of these places, this

:15:39.:15:48.

makes a difference in women's lives. Emboyered women transform societies.

:15:49.:15:53.

The Pope probably knows that. He's described as an enlightened Pope.

:15:54.:15:56.

Yet the view about contraception that it's banned in the eyes of the

:15:57.:16:00.

Catholic Church hasn't shifted. Do you think it will? I don't know. I

:16:01.:16:04.

can't predict what he will do, but what I know about this Pope is that

:16:05.:16:11.

he's lived amongst the poor and seen women die. So I think if you believe

:16:12.:16:16.

in women, you offer them the right tools and offer them ways to be able

:16:17.:16:21.

to space the births of the children so their children don't die.

:16:22.:16:24.

Do you think that could change over time? It just may take a long time?

:16:25.:16:30.

There are different views on this in the Catholic Church.

:16:31.:16:46.

I can't predict what he will do but what I know

:16:47.:17:01.

about this Pope is that he has lived amongst the poor, he has lived with

:17:02.:17:05.

So I think if you believe in women you

:17:06.:17:08.

And you offer them ways to be able to space

:17:09.:17:12.

the births of their children so that their children don't die.

:17:13.:17:15.

Do you think that could change over time?

:17:16.:17:17.

And there are different views on this in the

:17:18.:17:21.

But that's to prevent disease, that's different.

:17:22.:17:26.

But they also see the difference it makes in families'

:17:27.:17:28.

lives, to not have six and seven children.

:17:29.:17:30.

Donald Trump has blocked US funds going to any organisation

:17:31.:17:33.

involved in family planning, abortion advice and care overseas.

:17:34.:17:35.

I think that any time you block something

:17:36.:17:38.

that is right for women you're not saying that you're really for women.

:17:39.:17:41.

Now, this administration has put on a policy we've seen under other

:17:42.:17:44.

I can't express what exactly he stands for in terms

:17:45.:17:49.

of women but I'll tell you that if you're for women you fund family

:17:50.:17:52.

planning so Bill and I are working with Congress to make sure that this

:17:53.:17:55.

Britain will have men's and women's quarter-finalists at Wimbledon

:17:56.:18:05.

Johanna Konta beat France's Caroline Garcia in a three hour match

:18:06.:18:09.

on court one yesterday to become the first British woman to reach

:18:10.:18:12.

Speaking after her victory, she said it was what she had dreamed

:18:13.:18:16.

Meanwhile defending champion and top seed Andy Murray then saw off

:18:17.:18:20.

Frenchman Benoit Paire on Centre Court.

:18:21.:18:23.

Johanna Konta at the top of the screen

:18:24.:18:25.

was up against Caroline Garcia in a match of small margins.

:18:26.:18:28.

Garcia supporters saw her take the second

:18:29.:18:35.

set and Garcia had served brilliantly but this was match point

:18:36.:18:38.

and this was Wimbledon, and this is a critical mistake.

:18:39.:18:41.

Give Johanna Konta on occasion, she'll rise to it.

:18:42.:18:47.

It's those situations that I dreamt of when I was a little girl.

:18:48.:18:50.

And even now to be a part of those battles on big stages.

:18:51.:18:53.

You're now the first British woman into a

:18:54.:18:57.

quarterfinal at Wimbledon since Jo Durie in 1984.

:18:58.:18:59.

Andy Murray was playing Benoit Paire of

:19:00.:19:05.

France, 46 in the world, at Wimbledon Murray had never lost

:19:06.:19:08.

Tie-break in the first, 6-4 in the second, Murray was

:19:09.:19:13.

COMMENTATOR: That's too big, too good.

:19:14.:19:17.

In the third set Murray got heated with the umpire

:19:18.:19:20.

No matter, Murray said it was the best he'd hit the ball

:19:21.:19:30.

in the tournament so far and Paire ultimately couldn't match it.

:19:31.:19:33.

UMPIRE: Game, set and match, Murray, 3-0.

:19:34.:19:39.

So Murray plays again tomorrow, but Konta's quarter final

:19:40.:19:42.

is first up today - she faces a tough match against

:19:43.:19:44.

So is it possible for two Brits to go all the way?

:19:45.:19:51.

And does this mark a new golden age in British tennis?

:19:52.:19:54.

We can speak now to Amanda Owens, a former professional tennis player,

:19:55.:19:57.

And Jo Durie, who was the last British woman to reach the Wimbledon

:19:58.:20:08.

She was formerly ranked number five in the world.

:20:09.:20:18.

And, Andy Murray's former coach also joins us. Jo, what do you think of

:20:19.:20:27.

Jo's contest so far? Fantastic, it's great to see a British woman in the

:20:28.:20:31.

second week. We have always known Andy Murray can get there but Jo for

:20:32.:20:36.

the first time has played really tough tennis. I'm not at all

:20:37.:20:40.

surprised because she looks very good in the top ten mix now and

:20:41.:20:45.

believes in herself. Miles, what do you think of her achievement thus

:20:46.:20:48.

far? Not only in this tournament but in the last couple of years, it's

:20:49.:20:54.

been amazing. She's one of these players who has really turned

:20:55.:20:57.

herself around. There were not many people marking her out for this kind

:20:58.:21:02.

of success. When she burst on to the stage in the Aussie Open, often that

:21:03.:21:08.

is not backed up but she's gone from strength-to-strength and is

:21:09.:21:10.

definitely in the mix to win this tournament. You think so? No doubt

:21:11.:21:17.

about it. I've been fortunate to work on a couple of her matches. One

:21:18.:21:25.

of her opponents a couple of years ago was really high quality, she

:21:26.:21:29.

could have panicked there and she absolutely stayed the course, played

:21:30.:21:32.

really good tennis, she's got the weapons as well to play tennis on

:21:33.:21:36.

her own terms. There is a lot of the girls in the mix who I think just

:21:37.:21:41.

about everybody left in the drawer, there's a case for why they could

:21:42.:21:44.

win the tournament but Jo Konta's been very, very impressive. Jo Durie

:21:45.:21:50.

when Miles was say ing she could win it, I saw you nodding in agreement.

:21:51.:21:56.

Look, any one of them could win it, the last eight, they're playing

:21:57.:22:00.

fantastic tennis. I was surprised that Jo was the bookies' favourite.

:22:01.:22:05.

You have got Venus Williams in there who's won five times soI would have

:22:06.:22:09.

thought she would be the favourite, but when you get to this stage, you

:22:10.:22:14.

are playing well, used to playing and used to the grass, so any one of

:22:15.:22:19.

the eight could win so why not Jo. OK. Amanda Owens, you used to play

:22:20.:22:24.

tennis yourself professionally. You were nodding in agreement when Miles

:22:25.:22:29.

said over the last few years Jo's sort of strengthened mentally as

:22:30.:22:33.

well. Wa kind of work has she been doing? Absolutely. I agree with

:22:34.:22:38.

Miles and Jo and Jo hi it's nice to see you both, by the way and Jo

:22:39.:22:43.

picked me out as a tennis player a long time ago. Jo Konta, has

:22:44.:22:50.

incredible mental strength and is brilliant under pressure. We are

:22:51.:22:54.

seeing a player who, for the first time in a long time since Jo Durie,

:22:55.:22:59.

that we have a player that can cope with the pressure but who plays the

:23:00.:23:07.

points. She has enormous self-belief but the composure in her last match

:23:08.:23:11.

and yesterday was just immense. It shows that she will go all the way.

:23:12.:23:18.

This time in this tournament? Yes, but she's got the capability to win

:23:19.:23:25.

a Grand Slam. The way she played yesterday and her decision-making,

:23:26.:23:28.

it was superb. Especially on the critical points. It will be

:23:29.:23:32.

interesting to see what Jo and Miles think. Go on, Miles? Well, I didn't

:23:33.:23:40.

see as much of yesterday's match because I was working on some of the

:23:41.:23:46.

other matches but again that match and the amount of times she was in

:23:47.:23:51.

sticky situations and hit the line with her serve. Jo's incredibly

:23:52.:23:57.

disciplined with her game style which under pressure is huge. There

:23:58.:24:01.

are no decisions to be made, she knows what she is goes to do and

:24:02.:24:04.

generally executes it very well. If it comes down to the wire, that is a

:24:05.:24:08.

massive help. Having said that, I do think that, for a British player, I

:24:09.:24:12.

remember Andy winning it for the first time. Even talking about it

:24:13.:24:16.

now I get goose bumps, so there is going to be a different level of

:24:17.:24:21.

pressure but it's the same for all of the girls, mainly apart from

:24:22.:24:25.

Venus who's been there numerous times, as Jo said. Let's talk about

:24:26.:24:30.

Andy Murray. I was on Centre Court supporting him yesterday, only the

:24:31.:24:33.

second time I've been and I'm amazed at how close you are to the players

:24:34.:24:38.

and that just sort of fascinated me because he's a God when he's moving

:24:39.:24:43.

during the points but in-between, he sort of hovels around like an old

:24:44.:24:47.

man, I hope he won't mind me saying that but that is how it looked to

:24:48.:24:52.

me. I'm not an expert, Miles, but is that fair? Yes, he moves like the

:24:53.:24:56.

rest of us between points, let's be fair. Like me! But it's not uncommon

:24:57.:25:05.

for him and it looks like that hip is very much protecting it. There

:25:06.:25:19.

was a unique match yesterday, his opponent Benoit Paire, he was made

:25:20.:25:23.

to change direction. A couple of drop shots he went for. With Andy,

:25:24.:25:29.

it's like a burst of speed. I don't think that is an issue. Often you

:25:30.:25:35.

see players, they all have niggles. Sometimes in a bizarre way it can be

:25:36.:25:38.

helpful because it takes pressure off, maybe puts a bit of focus on a

:25:39.:25:43.

different area of their game rather than everything being about winning

:25:44.:25:46.

this title. Jo, what are your views on how far

:25:47.:25:52.

Andy Murray can go trying to defend the title? I think as soon as he

:25:53.:25:56.

gets to Wimbledon and gets on Centre Court then he becomes different and

:25:57.:26:02.

of course he might have a sore hip - join the rest of us - but once the

:26:03.:26:06.

points start, he does move just brilliantly, one of the fastest

:26:07.:26:10.

movers on court and he knows how to move on grass court. Health and

:26:11.:26:14.

Safety got that down. I expect him to be in the final and probably

:26:15.:26:18.

playing Roger Federer. That will be interesting, hopefully. Yes. Amanda

:26:19.:26:24.

Owens, in terms of Andy Murray, he's physically and mentally bulked up.

:26:25.:26:28.

Yes. But to cope with a bit of a pain in the hip? No. He's got so

:26:29.:26:33.

much experience and he's so resilient. As Miles pointed out,

:26:34.:26:38.

it's about being able to focus on what you need to focus on at that

:26:39.:26:42.

point, it's not a distraction for him, he's playing really well

:26:43.:26:46.

considering he's been off and has had injury anythings. -- niggles.

:26:47.:26:53.

He's playing really well and said yesterday he was pretty happy with

:26:54.:26:57.

the way he played. Tell us briefly some of the tips you give to the

:26:58.:27:08.

players, tennis, rugby players, that are utilised to cope with daily

:27:09.:27:14.

life? It's about being in the present, focussing on minefulness

:27:15.:27:16.

and the here and now. What does that mean? It's not focussing on the

:27:17.:27:23.

mistake, the shot you have hit or missed and not focussing on an

:27:24.:27:27.

injured hip or anything that can be a distraction. It's being able to

:27:28.:27:31.

refocus and reset and focus on the ball, the point and what you are

:27:32.:27:35.

going to do right now and your game strategy. It's really important,

:27:36.:27:39.

especially for Jo, that she focuses on her game plan and what she needs

:27:40.:27:43.

to do, not on expectation or the bigger picture. OK. Thank you all of

:27:44.:27:52.

you very much. Amanda, Jo and Miles, thank you. Thank you for your

A row has broken out over the marking of this year's primary

:34:52.:34:54.

school tests after teachers complained that pupils had been

:34:55.:34:56.

unfairly marked down on technicalities, including the size

:34:57.:34:58.

and shape of their commas and semi-colons.

:34:59.:35:03.

Using the hashtag #SATsshambles, teachers pointed out multiple

:35:04.:35:10.

examples of inconsistencies in marking of key stage 2 Sats tests

:35:11.:35:16.

for 10 and 11-year-olds and urged all schools to go

:35:17.:35:19.

through their pupils' marked papers in detail

:35:20.:35:20.

Let us have a look at some examples. The answer is correct, but the M

:35:21.:35:32.

comes slightly out of the box. Look at that. The pupil has been given no

:35:33.:35:40.

marks. That seems very harsh to me. What do I know? Next example. Too

:35:41.:35:48.

hide, semi-colon, even though it is in the correct place -- too high.

:35:49.:35:58.

The semi-colon is... Wow. That pupil has been given zero marks. The third

:35:59.:36:06.

example... The comma is low but it is in the correct place. No marks

:36:07.:36:13.

awarded. That is really tight, isn't it?

:36:14.:36:15.

We can speak now to Brian Walton, primary school head teacher

:36:16.:36:18.

He's been a headteacher for 15 years and is deeply concerned

:36:19.:36:22.

What do you think? It is not hard to say what I think. It is just... How

:36:23.:36:36.

many adults at there can use semi-colons already? The children

:36:37.:36:39.

are using them in the right place and they are being marked wrong

:36:40.:36:45.

because it is too big or the dot is above the letters. Ridiculous,

:36:46.:36:51.

absolutely... What kind of impact does it have on a child when they

:36:52.:36:55.

are marked down, when they get zero, when they have got the correct

:36:56.:37:00.

answer? How would anybody feel if they are getting the correct answer

:37:01.:37:04.

but they are being told it is wrong? It is in just, it is wrong. Also,

:37:05.:37:13.

this is very high stakes, accountable tests. The schools are

:37:14.:37:17.

judged on how they do in these tests. I have been a leader, I

:37:18.:37:22.

support schools up and down the country, headteachers lose their

:37:23.:37:25.

jobs if the results are not good enough, it as that. High-stakes. Who

:37:26.:37:35.

marks the ten one? Pearson. What, sorry? Pearson. The markers are

:37:36.:37:42.

trained and given the role, but I think it goes through Pearson. I do

:37:43.:37:47.

not know enough at this stage. I will. That is all right. The markers

:37:48.:37:52.

have guidelines which suggests that if the letter is slightly out of the

:37:53.:38:00.

box... Yeah, absolutely. This is the controversy going on under the hash

:38:01.:38:04.

tag at the moment. The markers said none of the schools knew about it so

:38:05.:38:09.

a lot of the guidance about the size and shape and the orientation and

:38:10.:38:15.

how we form letters, we did not know that. Already, in year six, we are

:38:16.:38:20.

narrowing the curriculum to make sure children get the standards

:38:21.:38:25.

because the standards are such high stakes. At the same time, this

:38:26.:38:34.

almost Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy marking is going on

:38:35.:38:38.

behind-the-scenes. If you had the guidance that if the semi-colon is

:38:39.:38:43.

too high, they might get a zero, you would have said, lower the

:38:44.:38:49.

semi-colon? We would, but again, there has to be an ethic about if

:38:50.:38:54.

the child can use the semi-colon... Use it technically. Remember, they

:38:55.:39:06.

are putting written by semi-colons, we are getting pernickety when we

:39:07.:39:10.

are getting to that level. We sure are. What do you want to be done

:39:11.:39:16.

about it? First and foremost, there needs to be a review and we need to

:39:17.:39:19.

really look at what has happened this year. We do not know the scale.

:39:20.:39:23.

It has happened on Twitter at the moment. It is an echo Chamber of a

:39:24.:39:29.

small group. I have 50, 60 heads who have contacted me who are outraged.

:39:30.:39:33.

Everyone of them has examples of this, including myself. One of my

:39:34.:39:37.

children has marked wrong. He has written the spelling correctly, but

:39:38.:39:44.

there is too much of a gap between two letters. There needs to be a

:39:45.:39:48.

review of this. I am going to gather their heads together and work with

:39:49.:39:52.

other organisations, very positively. I believe in testing and

:39:53.:39:58.

accountability, but when it is this high-stakes and people's jobs are on

:39:59.:40:05.

the line, something has to change, so we need to review this, seriously

:40:06.:40:12.

take a look at it. Re-marking, are you suggesting, for some of the

:40:13.:40:17.

children marked down perhaps unfairly? What is the purpose of

:40:18.:40:22.

Sats? If we are thinking about children in year six going into year

:40:23.:40:25.

seven, we want the children to have the best knowledge and skills they

:40:26.:40:30.

can for secondary school. They roughly get ?50 million a year, I do

:40:31.:40:35.

not know how much they... How can we have an assessment system working

:40:36.:40:41.

for children, parents, schools? At the moment, what is Sats about? It

:40:42.:40:45.

is about the accountability of primary schools. Thank you very

:40:46.:40:51.

much. Brian Walton, headteacher of a primary school. This statement from

:40:52.:40:56.

Pearson, the company who has done the marking, marking quality is

:40:57.:40:58.

extremely important and something we monitor continuously. In the unusual

:40:59.:41:04.

circumstances that there is an error, there is a review process in

:41:05.:41:08.

place which ensures a fair and transparent system and enables

:41:09.:41:14.

Pearson to correct any discrepancies and ensure pupils receive a fair

:41:15.:41:19.

mark. If you have any examples, do let me

:41:20.:41:24.

know. One year after taking office, Theresa May will make her first

:41:25.:41:29.

major speech since losing her majority at the general election.

:41:30.:41:33.

Norman, how important is this for Mrs May? Welcome to relaunch

:41:34.:41:40.

country, this is where Theresa May is going to try to kick-start her

:41:41.:41:45.

premiership, get the fight but going after the duffing up she had at the

:41:46.:41:48.

hands of the electorate which has left her pretty bruised and

:41:49.:41:52.

battered, it has left the party wondering whether they want to carry

:41:53.:41:57.

on. -- carry on with her. Today she will make her pitch for why she

:41:58.:42:01.

should continue as Prime Minister. Her argument will be this. She is

:42:02.:42:06.

not just focused on Brexit, but there are a whole load of other big

:42:07.:42:11.

issues which successive governments have dodged. Things like social

:42:12.:42:16.

care, an obvious one. Employment rights, we will be hearing a lot of

:42:17.:42:19.

that today. A new industrial strategy. All of the big areas which

:42:20.:42:25.

a lot of governments have looked at and said, I cannot deal with that.

:42:26.:42:29.

She is going to face up to those problems and I want the help of the

:42:30.:42:32.

opposition parties in trying to push through on these things after years

:42:33.:42:36.

when successive governments have filed them in the two difficult

:42:37.:42:43.

draw. The thinking is to say to the troublesome backbenchers who are

:42:44.:42:47.

thinking, we have to get rid of her. Look, I have an agenda that goes on

:42:48.:42:52.

four years, I am not just about Brexit, I am not just going to be

:42:53.:42:57.

here for a few months, I have a serious, long-term agenda, and the

:42:58.:43:00.

hope is it will give her a sense of momentum, purpose, and maybe the

:43:01.:43:04.

backbenchers will think, OK, she clearly has a lot she wants to do,

:43:05.:43:15.

she has energy, ideas. We will carry on with Theresa May. You have to

:43:16.:43:18.

say, it is a big ask because whenever you find clusters of Tory

:43:19.:43:20.

MPs together, they are invariably talking about, can Theresa May

:43:21.:43:24.

survive? A lot of people take the view her authority has been so badly

:43:25.:43:29.

dented by the miscalculation over the general election, the real

:43:30.:43:33.

battle she faces ahead with Brexit, that actually, perhaps, they would

:43:34.:43:36.

be better getting someone else. Today is a attempt to shore up the

:43:37.:43:42.

premiership to try to ensure she stays Prime Minister. She is also

:43:43.:43:47.

going to be addressing workers' rights and the gig economy, isn't

:43:48.:43:51.

she? That is one of the big issues she wants to tackle because the

:43:52.:43:57.

world of work has changed massively in the last five, ten years. We no

:43:58.:44:02.

longer work nine to five, work for a company all your life. People flit

:44:03.:44:07.

around, different jobs, people want more flexibility. We have seen an

:44:08.:44:11.

explosion in the so-called gig economy. The difficulty is, it is a

:44:12.:44:15.

sort of twilight area. People who work for companies like Uber, they

:44:16.:44:23.

are not quite self-employed, they do not have complete control, but they

:44:24.:44:26.

are not really employees. They do not have to turn up at 9am and leave

:44:27.:44:31.

at five. They have a rather vague area. Today we will hear this plan

:44:32.:44:37.

from the man who used to be Tony Blair's big brains, Matthew Taylor,

:44:38.:44:41.

who has come up with is this idea of a new category of worker called

:44:42.:44:44.

dependent contractor and what that will mean is for those people who

:44:45.:44:50.

work for people like Uber, they will gain some of the rights, not all, of

:44:51.:44:55.

employees. They would in future be able to get sick display, holiday

:44:56.:45:02.

pay, potentially the minimum wage. After a year or so, if they had been

:45:03.:45:06.

on is there a contract, they would be able to ask the company to give

:45:07.:45:11.

them a proper full-time contract -- if they had been on a zero hour

:45:12.:45:17.

contract. It is trying to give those more protections. The big snout, I

:45:18.:45:22.

think, is this. Will it actually happen? I say that because looking

:45:23.:45:27.

at the advanced transcripts of Mrs May's speech, a lot of it seems to

:45:28.:45:32.

be about setting benchmarks for companies and I am not entirely sure

:45:33.:45:36.

that there will be legislation to actually make this happen. But we

:45:37.:45:40.

will find out when she speaks. Thank you.

:45:41.:45:43.

:45:47.:45:49.

The aim is to get a million people speaking Welsh by 2050.

:45:50.:45:56.

In the last Census there were 562,000 Welsh speakers.

:45:57.:45:58.

Under the new proposals there will be an expansion

:45:59.:46:01.

of Welsh speaking nurseries, and an increase in the number

:46:02.:46:04.

of teachers for primary and secondary schools.

:46:05.:46:06.

At the moment there are 391 Welsh speaking primary schools and 23

:46:07.:46:11.

secondary schools The hope is that 70 percent of children leaving

:46:12.:46:17.

So how important is it that the Welsh language

:46:18.:46:23.

Meri Huws is the Welsh Language Commissioner and Ragsy is a singer

:46:24.:46:29.

who who has appeared on the TV programme The Voice,

:46:30.:46:32.

Freddie Greaves is a dad whose kids are in the Welsh-speaking stream.

:46:33.:46:48.

Mari, tell us why you think this is important? We are a by Lang wall

:46:49.:47:00.

country. Bilingual country. In Wales, the use of the language is

:47:01.:47:04.

enhanced in public service, in business, and we really need to

:47:05.:47:09.

enable young people to respond to that channel, to be there, to be

:47:10.:47:13.

part of the workforce -- part of that challenge. To be part of this

:47:14.:47:19.

fascinating journey we are on, creating a bling wall country where

:47:20.:47:23.

the Welsh language is part of everyone's lives in the community in

:47:24.:47:27.

Wales, across Wales and I think that's such a wonderful challenge.

:47:28.:47:30.

This strategy is setting that journey very, very clearly for us.

:47:31.:47:35.

So you are saying there are economic benefits as well as cultural? There

:47:36.:47:39.

are cultural benefits and economic benefits. I speak regularly to

:47:40.:47:48.

employers who're looking for bibilingual workers who could

:47:49.:47:51.

contribute to their companies and we should celebrate the fact that it's

:47:52.:47:56.

very much part of our iedification in Wales and we should be

:47:57.:48:00.

celebrating that and using that economically to exhibition benefit

:48:01.:48:09.

to cultural and social benefit. Hello, Ragsi, how are you? I'm good

:48:10.:48:12.

thank you very much, how are you? Yes, I'm good thank you. Why are you

:48:13.:48:17.

learning to speak Welsh and can you answer in Welsh? I'm trying to. I've

:48:18.:48:25.

only just started in the last couple of weeks learning Welsh so...

:48:26.:48:35.

Skaps he speaks Welsh. Skaps I'm a very passionate Welshman. It's

:48:36.:48:43.

one of those things I've thought about and thought it's never too

:48:44.:48:49.

late in life to learn. I wanted to perform in my native tongue being a

:48:50.:48:54.

Welshman to and to sing with a choir so I ended up releasing a song on St

:48:55.:49:00.

David's Day called Fields at Home. It spurred me on and I became even

:49:01.:49:05.

more passionate to learn the language and hopefully perform more

:49:06.:49:11.

in Welsh as well. Do you mind me asking how old you are? I'm 38. It's

:49:12.:49:16.

interesting that you say you are never too old to learn. Let me bring

:49:17.:49:20.

in Freddie. Two of your children are in the Welsh stream at your school.

:49:21.:49:23.

It's much easier to learn a language when you are young isn't it because

:49:24.:49:27.

your brain is absorbing much more, but how is it going for your

:49:28.:49:31.

children, Freddie? Great. My six-year-old was showing off to me

:49:32.:49:35.

this week that he knows more Welsh than me now so that's great. I was

:49:36.:49:44.

brought up in a part of Wales where there wasn't access to Welsh

:49:45.:49:47.

education so I always felt I missed out on some of the cultural heritage

:49:48.:49:52.

and access. Is that the motivation for you? Was it your kids who wanted

:49:53.:49:57.

to learn Welsh or were you saying I missed out and partly want to live

:49:58.:50:05.

my life through you? They started in the nursery setting and at that

:50:06.:50:09.

point they hadn't formed any opinions on the benefits of

:50:10.:50:20.

bilingualism, but they enjoy it and my daughter enjoys singing in Welsh.

:50:21.:50:26.

I am going to ask Ragsi to sing in Welsh in a moment. Mari, how worried

:50:27.:50:33.

are you about potentially the Welsh language dying out, in Welsh,

:50:34.:50:35.

please? I'm not worried. I'm seeing a new

:50:36.:50:43.

confidence. I think we have just heard that in the two other

:50:44.:50:48.

speakers. Those young people, those children learning Welsh today will

:50:49.:50:53.

be our workforce of the future, our doctors, nurses, and that's going to

:50:54.:50:57.

be a wonderful opportunity for them. It's not only the culture but

:50:58.:51:01.

they'll contribute to Wales and a Wales which will be bilingual.

:51:02.:51:09.

Ragsi, take it away. I don't know how you can hold your phone because

:51:10.:51:12.

you are on face time and I don't know if you have your guitar with

:51:13.:51:18.

you? I haven't but I would like to thank the guys at the university for

:51:19.:51:22.

helping me in learning this language as well with the Welsh school and if

:51:23.:51:27.

anybody wants to check him out go on www. Learn welsh. Cymru. This is the

:51:28.:51:37.

song I released on St David's Day. I will give you a burst of that.

:51:38.:51:52.

That was absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much. That was an unexpected

:51:53.:52:30.

pleasure at 10. 45 on a Tuesday morning! Thank you!

:52:31.:52:37.

We haven't talked about the sort of musicality, I don't mean the music

:52:38.:52:40.

there, but actually the Welsh language is sort of, I don't know,

:52:41.:52:44.

lyrical a bit, is that fair, Mari, what would you say? The Welsh

:52:45.:52:48.

language is amazing, it's a very old language and yes, that musicality

:52:49.:52:52.

and that was a wonderful performance, thank you very, very

:52:53.:52:55.

much, and if you understood the words you would realise how

:52:56.:52:58.

important the words were and how relevant to what is being announced

:52:59.:53:02.

today. We sing, we celebrate and I think what we need to do more and

:53:03.:53:06.

more is celebrate our Welshness and be proud of it. Ragsi, what is the

:53:07.:53:11.

message of what you have just sung to us in Welsh? The song is all

:53:12.:53:18.

about it feels like home and Wales is such a warm, friendly nation and

:53:19.:53:23.

no matter where you go in Wales, it always feels like home so yes,

:53:24.:53:27.

that's the kind of message that I wrote about in that song.

:53:28.:53:30.

Lovely. Thank you so much all of you. Thank you. Freddie good luck to

:53:31.:53:39.

the children, Ragsi thank you for singing and mari, good luck. Thank

:53:40.:53:49.

you. We were talking about school children being marked down in their

:53:50.:53:56.

SATs. We have a statement. They were being marked down for tiny things

:53:57.:53:59.

like putting a letter outside the box that you are supposed to put it

:54:00.:54:03.

in and a semi colon being in the right place but being a bit too

:54:04.:54:06.

high. The Department of Education says: There are a number of measures

:54:07.:54:12.

in place to ensure schools, Key Stage two, teacher assessment

:54:13.:54:15.

judgments are robust and accurate. Teachers have a statutory duty to

:54:16.:54:20.

ensure the school's judgments are an accurate assessment of pupil

:54:21.:54:23.

attainment. They are encouraged to moderate their judgments with other

:54:24.:54:27.

schools. The testing agency takes any issues with accuracy of schools,

:54:28.:54:30.

teacher assessment judgment seriously. Any concerns about

:54:31.:54:35.

particular schools should be reported to the board so they may be

:54:36.:54:40.

properly investigated. Lots of you have been getting in touch with us

:54:41.:54:44.

about this major review into the way we work in Britain today which we

:54:45.:54:48.

talked about earlier on the programme. One key recommendation is

:54:49.:54:52.

tond the so-called cash in hand economy. The report's author claims

:54:53.:54:56.

cash jobs like window cleaning and decorating with worth up to ?6

:54:57.:55:02.

billion a year, much of it untaxed. Brian says every week there seems to

:55:03.:55:07.

be a new car wash opening around here where I live. They charge

:55:08.:55:12.

around ?5 per wash and have cars queueing during the dry days, none

:55:13.:55:15.

of them offer a receipt so the money taken is lost from the economy, many

:55:16.:55:20.

of the car washes are manned by non-speaking Europeans. Christine

:55:21.:55:24.

says, I do believe self-employment is being abused by employers or

:55:25.:55:28.

agencies. However, it is an impossible task to assume it could

:55:29.:55:32.

be wiped out at every level. Many start up businesses with limited

:55:33.:55:36.

funds and have started this way such as retaining, not employing salesmen

:55:37.:55:41.

and contractors and it would be interesting how say knocking the vat

:55:42.:55:45.

off for cash for a customer who often insists on this will be

:55:46.:55:48.

tackled. Let us talk to Liz Mayall, chair of

:55:49.:55:57.

Turf Mark, a scheme that signposts people to local reputable firms and

:55:58.:56:00.

trades people. Hi there. Reputable meaning what? These are uniquely

:56:01.:56:07.

firms that have been tested for and checked for three things; they have

:56:08.:56:15.

obviously been checked for their business practices, good customer

:56:16.:56:19.

references but critically, they have been checked for technical

:56:20.:56:22.

competence and Turf Mark is the only scheme of this sort set up by the

:56:23.:56:26.

Government just over ten years ago, it's the only scheme that does all

:56:27.:56:36.

three of the checks. . -- Trust maencht So you don't mind if your

:56:37.:56:40.

tradesmen get paid cash or not? I prefer they don't. You have no way

:56:41.:56:45.

of what happens when a plumber walks into a customer's house and the

:56:46.:56:49.

conversation that goes on, so how do you know? Trust Mark is about

:56:50.:56:54.

professionalism and the trades people we give the badge to, they

:56:55.:56:58.

earn that badge, they don't buy it and they earn it through their

:56:59.:57:03.

professionalism. A key part of professionalism is about having a

:57:04.:57:06.

really good business practice. It's good for the customer, very good for

:57:07.:57:12.

the businesses as well. What about when the customer says, OK, thanks

:57:13.:57:16.

for your quote, how much for cash, meaning, you know, I'll give you the

:57:17.:57:21.

cash, you don't have to bay the VAT and we won't tell anybody? Well,

:57:22.:57:25.

good tradesmen generally will say I'm sorry that's not the way we

:57:26.:57:31.

operate. We will give you a very good quote, we'll be as competitive

:57:32.:57:36.

as we can, we'll give you the benefits of our expertise and we'll

:57:37.:57:39.

invoice you at the end of the process. There are also other

:57:40.:57:43.

payment options available that if people don't want to do it by

:57:44.:57:49.

cheque, an old-fashioned way of doing thicks, you know, but there

:57:50.:57:52.

are other payment options available. OK, and the other payment options,

:57:53.:57:57.

for example include? Well, if you've got a big project, I would certainly

:57:58.:58:04.

say look at ESCRO schemes, Trust Mark has one, that works where the

:58:05.:58:09.

customer puts in the money, you agree a deal between you and the

:58:10.:58:13.

person, you put the money into a scheme and then that money is

:58:14.:58:18.

released at agreed stages when work is done. If the work is not

:58:19.:58:23.

completed, you get the money back for the work that's not been done.

:58:24.:58:29.

Thank you very much Liz. BBC newsroom live is next. Thanks for

:58:30.:58:30.

your company.
