Hello it's Friday 11th August, it's nine o'clock. | :00:09. | :00:10. | |
I'm Joanna Gosling, welcome to the programme. | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
War would be catastrophic - the words of American Defence | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
Secretary James Mattis as he insists the US is trying to solve the North | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Korea crisis through diplomacy, but President Trump | :00:22. | :00:22. | |
He does something in Guam, it will be an event the likes of which | :00:23. | :00:38. | |
nobody 's seen before. The tragedy of war is well enough known, it does | :00:39. | :00:42. | |
not need a number characterisation beyond the fact it would be | :00:43. | :00:43. | |
catastrophic. We'll be live from Seoul | :00:44. | :00:46. | |
with the latest. Also millions of pounds raised for | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
the victims of the Grenfell Tower tragedy are not getting to people | :00:54. | :01:01. | |
quick enough. People are still trying to rebuild their lives and we | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
look at the effect on the children in particular caught up in the | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
horror of what happened in June, one youngster told us he lost everything | :01:09. | :01:09. | |
dear to him. My Wii Fit Plus, my Wii | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
console, everything. What do you miss | :01:12. | :01:13. | |
about your old home? You can hear from Tyshondrey | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
and his grandmother just after 9am. And as four supermarkets continue to | :01:16. | :01:31. | |
remove salads and some juice containing eggs the body which | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
represents the British egg industry says there is anger that potentially | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
contaminated eggs have been imported from Dutch farms. We will explain | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
what the risk is and why this has happened. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
Welcome to the programme, we're live until 11 this morning. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
This weekend sees the legend that is Usain Bolt take part | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
in his final competitive race before retiring - he has inspired thousands | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
of people and we are talking to one teenager who took up running | :02:03. | :02:05. | |
It could be someone from sport or from something else entirely, let us | :02:06. | :02:18. | |
know. Do get in touch on all the stories | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
we're talking about this morning - Our top story today - | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
US Defence Secretary James Mattis says war with North Korea would be | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
catastrophic, despite increasingly heated words | :02:30. | :02:31. | |
from President Donald Trump. Mr Trump warned that the North | :02:32. | :02:33. | |
Korean regime should be "very, very nervous" if they acted | :02:34. | :02:36. | |
against the US territory of Guam - but Mr Mattis said the US | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
was still focussed on talking. The American effort | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
is diplomatically lead, it has diplomatic traction, | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
it is claiming diplomatic results. I want to stay right there, | :02:48. | :02:57. | |
right now, the tragedy of war is well enough known, | :02:58. | :03:00. | |
it doesn't need another characterisation beyond the fact | :03:01. | :03:02. | |
that it would be catastrophic. He does something in Guam, | :03:03. | :03:04. | |
it will be an event the likes of which nobody's seen before, | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
what will happen in North Korea. Our correspondent Robin Brant | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
is in Seoul in South Korea. What is this sense there of where | :03:18. | :03:31. | |
this is going? Firstly, what a contrast in tone from those men. I | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
think people here have lived with the prospect, the potential of the | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
conflict with neighbours to the north, the border is 35 miles from | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
where I am sitting, for decades. You hear this a lot but life does go on, | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
there has been no change in status here. The language coming from | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Donald Trump, some thought he could not go any further than the fire and | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
fury but he seemed to do that last night which is unsettling in | :04:01. | :04:03. | |
particular for people living here so close to North Korea but I think | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
they will be assured by other comments made by the President who | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
said he did not think North Korea could go around threatening the | :04:12. | :04:16. | |
United States and its allies Japan and South Korea, which reminds | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
people of the close military alliance the United States has with | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
South Korea, it is crucial for protecting and defending this | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
country. If you listen to the words of James Mattis who talked about the | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
diplomatic effort to try to de-escalates what's going on, this | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
country elected a new president who is more consolatory in his tone and | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
who envisages it some point trying to bring the North back around the | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
negotiating table. There are some suggestions that perhaps it is time | :04:49. | :04:53. | |
for South Korea to arm itself with its own nuclear weapons, is that | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
being seriously with that? I think for now, in the immediate timescale, | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
South Korea's security depends on its close alliance with the United | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
States and the United States effort to maintain a regional alliance with | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Japan, another crucial member, Australia not director under threat, | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
Malcolm Turnbull talking about Australia living up to its treaty | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
commitments if the United States was attacked. That regional compact is | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
crucial for South Korea. South Korea in the past has had the beginnings | :05:35. | :05:41. | |
of a nuclear weapons programme, as has Japan, but pressure from the US | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
saw those programmes go away. The new president envisages perhaps | :05:47. | :05:52. | |
further down the road having negotiations once again with the | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
North. That is where he wants to go. Thank you very much. Let's get the | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
latest on the rest of today's news. The UK may continue to face | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
the threat of Islamist terrorism That's the warning from the former | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
head of MI5, Lord Evans. In an interview with the BBC's | :06:09. | :06:16. | |
Today Programme, Lord Evans went onto to describe the issue | :06:17. | :06:18. | |
as a generational problem and that the UK needed | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
to persevere with efforts My guess is that we will still be | :06:22. | :06:23. | |
dealing with the long tail I think this is genuinely | :06:24. | :06:32. | |
a generational problem. I think that we are going to be | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
facing 20 or 30 years of terrorist threats, | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
and therefore we need absolutely Police investigating the European | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
egg contamination scandal have arrested two company directors | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
following raids in the Netherlands. Here the Food Standards Agency has | :06:50. | :06:52. | |
revealed that 700,000 contaminated eggs have been imported | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
from Dutch farms, but it insists it is highly unlikely they pose any | :06:57. | :07:01. | |
risk to human health. Sandwiches and salads are among | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
the foods that have now been removed from UK supermarket shelves, | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
as Natasha Emerson reports. Millions of eggs destroyed, | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
supermarkets scrambling Two men have been held by Dutch | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
police over batches of poisonous Fipronil, a pesticide | :07:18. | :07:25. | |
commonly used to kill lice and fleas on pets, | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
has made its way Earlier this week, | :07:30. | :07:31. | |
the Food Standards Agency said 21,000 contaminated eggs had been | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
imported to the UK. Now, it thinks it could be | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
as many as 700,000. But that's still only a fraction | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
of the 34 million we eat each day. And the Agency said you would have | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
to eat 10,000 contaminated Our assessment is that it is | :07:48. | :08:01. | |
unlikely there is any public health risk but we think people deserve but | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
Bury food they can trust. So far, some salads and sandwiches | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
sold by these four supermarkets have been withdrawn from sale, | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
but whole eggs are safe. Despite those reassurances, | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
the scandal continues to spread through Europe, | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
with 11 countries now Millions of eggs will be | :08:19. | :08:20. | |
destroyed, as will hundreds Four years ago, horsemeat was found | :08:21. | :08:23. | |
in burgers and ready-meals. Once again, questions | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
are being raised about what goes into our processed foods | :08:27. | :08:29. | |
and where it comes from. Officials hope the contaminated eggs | :08:30. | :08:32. | |
will be out of the food chain soon, but the investigation into Europe's | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
latest food scandal is likely One of the former aides | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
to Brexit Secretary David Davis has said that leaving the EU will be | :08:39. | :08:49. | |
a calamity for our country. Speaking to the Today Programme | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
this morning, he said that the Conservatives had been | :08:53. | :08:55. | |
badly damaged by the process - and that promises made to voters | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
during the referendum were false. People have voted for Brexit and, | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
yes, most people do now think, "Well, let's just get on with it, | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
we've made the decision," but Where is the ?350 million a week | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
for the health service? It's going to be a calamity | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
for our country. Donations made to the victims | :09:15. | :09:16. | |
of the Grenfell Tower fire are not reaching survivors quickly enough, | :09:17. | :09:19. | |
according to campaigners Figures from the Charity Commission | :09:20. | :09:21. | |
show that less than 15% of the ?18.9 million raised has | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
been given to people affected almost two months | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
after the tragedy - but it says that early difficulties | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
in identifying and contacting those Passengers flying from Gatwick | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
during the last two summers experienced the longest average | :09:39. | :09:46. | |
delays, according to flight data Among the ten biggest airlines, | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
easyJet travellers suffered the worst hold ups, with an average | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
delay of 24 minutes. Both the airport and the airline say | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
many of the problems CCTV cameras will be compulsory | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
in all abattoirs in England, under new plans announced | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
by the Environment Vets working for the Food Standards | :10:08. | :10:09. | |
Agency will be given unrestricted access to footage | :10:10. | :10:15. | |
from all areas containing livestock. Abattoirs with failing | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
standards of care could face a criminal investigation | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
or lose staff licences. We like to think that the food | :10:22. | :10:23. | |
we eat is produced in Now Britain is on its way out | :10:24. | :10:34. | |
of the European Union, the Government is reviewing | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
standards. One idea, make it compulsory for | :10:39. | :10:40. | |
abattoirs in England to have CCTV. I think this is a very important | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
animal welfare measure, and I think it gives even greater | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
confidence to the consumer both at home and abroad | :10:50. | :10:51. | |
that British produce, British meat is achieved | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
at the highest possible standards during their life and at the time | :10:54. | :10:57. | |
of the animal's death. It's hoped cameras will reduce | :10:58. | :11:01. | |
abuse suffered by animals This video was filmed in an abattoir | :11:02. | :11:03. | |
as part of an investigation Much of the charity's of the footage | :11:04. | :11:16. | |
is too graphic to show. It's a really vital tool for helping | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
to stop the kind of appalling gratuitous violence and abuse | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
that we filmed repeatedly in slaughterhouses during our | :11:24. | :11:25. | |
undercover investigations. And it's not just the mandatory CCTV | :11:26. | :11:30. | |
itself that's so important, but also the Independent monitoring | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
of the footage. We're really urging the Government | :11:35. | :11:38. | |
to introduce that in order to ensure that slaughterhouses | :11:39. | :11:45. | |
are properly spot checked. The Government has faced questions | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
over what future trade deals post By enforcing cameras | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
in slaughterhouses, ministers hope to reassure us | :11:51. | :11:54. | |
that they are committed to the highest standards | :11:55. | :11:56. | |
and animal welfare. There has been a fall in the shares | :11:57. | :12:19. | |
of the company which owned Snapchat. The number of users was lower than | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
expected and market analysts say the company has been struggling with | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
fierce competition from rivals such as Facebook's Instagram. | :12:28. | :12:29. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 9:30am. | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
We are just getting reports from London Fire Brigade today are | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
investigating reports of a fire on a train at Oxford Circus underground, | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
the Bakerloo line affected and the line is suspended we are hearing. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Oxford Circus is closed due to a fire alert, smoke seen coming from a | :12:53. | :12:58. | |
carriage. These are initial reports, no further detail on that at the | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
moment but we will stay across those reports and keep you updated. Let us | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
know what you think about the eggs scare, XP and withdrawn from most of | :13:08. | :13:17. | |
the eggs we buy on the shelves are British Lion, British produced eggs. | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
Jerome Taylor has said on Twitter that the crisis has been created by | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the media, there is no public health risk. And adulthood have to keep | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
seven eggs in 24 hours to exceed the level of risk chemical presents to | :13:33. | :13:41. | |
us so let us know what you think about that, how worried are you | :13:42. | :13:50. | |
about that crisis? Let me see, the latest from London Fire Brigade on | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
what is happening at Oxford Circus, they say crews have been called to | :13:54. | :14:01. | |
Oxford Circus station to investigate reports of smoke, more information | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
soon. We will keep you updated on that. | :14:05. | :14:06. | |
The incredible story surrounding Isaac Makwala | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
at the World Athletics Championships didn't have a fairytale | :14:10. | :14:11. | |
We have been talking about him a lot this week, he missed the 400 metre | :14:12. | :14:22. | |
final after being banned from running and that was on medical | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
grounds and he was not even allowed at one point into the London | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
Stadium. He then had to run a solo time trial in the rain to qualify | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
for the 200 metres on Wednesday and I guess it all looks to have taken | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
its toll. He finished sixth in the end but it was of Turkey who won in | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
the end ahead of Wayde van Niekerk, it was so close at the finish line, | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
his first World Championship gold. Tell us about Dina Asher-Smith, she | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
had a nasty injury but has made it through to the 200 metres final? | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Yes, she has had a really bad year with injury, an injury to her fruit | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
but she has got a place in the women's two and metre final, running | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
her second best of 22.73 to finish second and is among five British | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
athletes who have a shot at medals, let's wasn't what she had to say. I | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
completely broke my foot which is not great, they had to have surgery | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
to put screws in, six weeks not doing anything, not putting any | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
weight on it and then gradually putting weight on it, for three | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
months I basically could not even what, but I learned how to walk | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
again and here we are, it wasn't that bad! I am joking, I would not | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
recommend it, it was not fun. It is great that she has come back | :15:51. | :15:57. | |
so well. Laura Muir looked completely | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
exhausted after her 5,000 metres Good girl she even collapsed to the | :16:02. | :16:10. | |
ground, she has been quite busy during the championship, finishing | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
fourth in the 1500 metres. She finished... Qualified as a fastest | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
loser. She will run alongside Hamish McColgan, who ran her personal best | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
of 15 minutes and 18 seconds. Katarina Johnson-Thompson organ | :16:29. | :16:31. | |
like, the high jumpers, made the final. So something positive, a late | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
surge from Great Britain and some more medals. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
the Premier League is back tonight - and Alan Shearer has been pretty | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
outspoken about clubs not giving English youngsters a chance. | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
It has come around quickly. We had the women's you rose, that kept our | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
appetite going, Alan Shearer not holding back. He is essentially | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
saying that more young players need to be given a chance at the top | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
clubs. He does not believe that is happening at the moment and it will | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
have a big impact on Premier League success in the future, including he | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
says the success of the under 20s squad. That will not help him... | :17:18. | :17:24. | |
That get top spots in big clubs, winning the World Cup. We will see | :17:25. | :17:28. | |
Arsenal taking on Leicester in the opener, so lots to look forward to. | :17:29. | :17:33. | |
That is all from me for now, I will have more at 9:30am. Thank you. | :17:34. | :17:38. | |
We are staying across reports we are getting about a train appearing to | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
be on fire at the Bakerloo line at Oxford Circus. We will keep you | :17:46. | :17:47. | |
updated as soon as we get any more. Two months on since the Grenfell | :17:48. | :17:49. | |
Tower fire in west London, campaigners have said donations | :17:50. | :17:51. | |
are not reaching Charity Commission figures show that | :17:52. | :17:53. | |
less than 15% of the ?18.9m raised has been given to people | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
who lost their homes and loved ones, and it's not just those who have | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
to provide for their families For most children it's | :18:01. | :18:03. | |
now the holidays - meaning a time to rest, | :18:04. | :18:09. | |
recuperate and have fun But for those children who escaped | :18:10. | :18:11. | |
the Grenfell Tower fire - the summer has brought a stinging | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
wave of trauma and shock. Around 600 people including 100 | :18:17. | :18:19. | |
children from the Grenfell Tower neighbourhood have been referred | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
to mental health services in the aftermath of the fire, | :18:23. | :18:24. | |
new figures show. Just how well are these | :18:25. | :18:27. | |
children coping? Our reporter Ashley John-Baptiste | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
has caught up with 12-year-old Grenfell survivor Tyrshondre, | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
and his adoptive grandmother, Rumayatu Mamudu as they went | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
swimming at the leisure centre close He lived on the first | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
floor of Grenfell Tower with his adoptive grandmother, | :18:42. | :19:00. | |
Rumayatu Mamudu. They escaped the tower | :19:01. | :19:03. | |
during the night of the fire, and eight weeks on, Tyrshondre has | :19:04. | :19:06. | |
broken up from school It's the summer holiday, | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
how's it going? Does it at all feel different not | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
being at the home you're used to? Can you tell me what toys | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
you lost in the fire? My piano, my Wii Fit Plus, | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
my Wii console, everything. What do you miss | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
about your old home? It's been eight weeks | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
since you lost your home. To tell you the truth, | :19:34. | :19:52. | |
I think things are getting worse. If we had a little bit | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
of attention as survivors, we would now be getting | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
ready for closure. We have support from the society, | :20:03. | :20:10. | |
from the charity organisation, If only the government would do | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
their best to give us a roof. He wakes up in the night, | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
he's afraid there might be a fire. So the fear is still in him, | :20:27. | :20:30. | |
until we have a place Does it feel like the normal | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
summer holiday for you? No, it can never feel | :20:38. | :20:48. | |
like a normal summer holiday. I have been offered to go | :20:49. | :20:51. | |
on holiday, but how could you go on holiday when you are not sure | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
what you are coming back to? Have you got used to living | :20:56. | :21:05. | |
in a hotel with your grandson? A hotel is supposed to be temporary | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
accommodation for travellers. I was offered a place two weeks ago, | :21:12. | :21:14. | |
outside my borough. I've spent 46 years of my | :21:15. | :21:24. | |
life in this borough. My five children were born | :21:25. | :21:26. | |
in this borough, they went So I don't see why I should be | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
moved out of my borough. How are you making sure | :21:30. | :21:39. | |
that your grandson's OK? Well, I tried to see some | :21:40. | :21:54. | |
consultants, to talk to them, Is it getting tiring having | :21:55. | :21:57. | |
these chats and feeling Everything done repeatedly | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
without any result is boring. But to go back to that | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
same hotel, I just feel sick going there every | :22:14. | :22:16. | |
day, every day... Are you looking forward | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
to going back to school? We are alive, which is most | :22:21. | :22:33. | |
important, and we have We will try our best | :22:34. | :22:47. | |
to look after one another. That has Tyrshondre and his | :22:48. | :23:21. | |
grandmother talking about how they have been coping in the aftermath of | :23:22. | :23:22. | |
the fire. So exactly what mental health | :23:23. | :23:24. | |
and trauma support should children who survived | :23:25. | :23:26. | |
the Grenfell fire receive? Here to give us some | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
insight is Dr Gary Wannan - a consultant child and adolescent | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
psychiatrist. Thanks very much for coming in. We | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
were hearing that Tyrshondre keeps waking up in the night afraid of | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
fire, is it always obvious if a child has suffered a trauma as a | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
result of something they have been through? It is not always obvious, | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
but hearing about Tyrshondre and about him waking in the night and | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
being upset, we really need to help him. I am based in a clinic not far | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
from where he lives and we would love to meet that family and any | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
other family affected by the trauma of Grenfell. At this stage, we | :24:09. | :24:12. | |
passed what we would call the watchful waiting periods for | :24:13. | :24:16. | |
children experiencing symptoms like that who are distressed, it is | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
really important that we help. What is the watchful waiting period? In | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
the first four to six weeks we expect children, young people, | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
adults to be quite understandably upset by what has happened. And | :24:33. | :24:38. | |
during that time getting on with what parents would usually do to | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
help children, provide comfort, do the normal things with them. We | :24:44. | :24:47. | |
would usually expect to and symptoms with that to go down. But for a | :24:48. | :24:56. | |
childlike Tyrshondre who at this stage is waking up at night quite | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
upset, we would really want to meet that family and to work out the best | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
way to help. Is it possible that some kids and adults will have gone | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
through that without any lasting impact, or should everybody be | :25:10. | :25:14. | |
getting mental health help at the moment? I think everybody is | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
different. For some people they can go through a trauma, use the support | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
they have around them and come through that without needing to get | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
professional help. The last thing I would want to do is to say that | :25:26. | :25:35. | |
everybody needs to meet a professional. Many people have good | :25:36. | :25:37. | |
coping mechanisms and good support around them. What about the way it | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
is being done. It is difficult for individuals to assess sometimes | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
whether what their experience and requires professional help or | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
whether they should just get through it. Are the services reaching out to | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
these people in the way that they should just to make sure anybody in | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
the situation where they really need help is actually getting at? With | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
the first of those things, for people who are unsure, it is much | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
better to be in touch and seek advice about whether to get | :26:04. | :26:16. | |
treatment or not. In terms of being out there, as well as having a | :26:17. | :26:18. | |
dedicated phone line and meeting young people and families in the | :26:19. | :26:21. | |
clinic I work in, we have gone out and visited people at home, there | :26:22. | :26:23. | |
have been public clinics and activities where people have been | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
able to join in and meet children and young people that way, we have | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
been in schools, in the emergency centres, we have wanted to get in | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
the community where people are to make sure the help they can get. | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
Your team has helped around 100 kids, what issues have been coming | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
up? There has been quite a variety. For some people it has been | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
reassuring parents and carers that they are doing a good job. At the | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
other end we have seen some severely affected children and young people | :26:56. | :26:59. | |
who have needed to begin quite specific treatments for the trauma | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
experienced. What would be an indication where somebody is | :27:04. | :27:06. | |
severely affected, is that the type of thing we are hearing about from | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
Tyrshondre, waking up in a night afraid of fire? Adult fears that | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
will Maher go, nightmares, flashbacks, not been able to pay | :27:16. | :27:22. | |
attention, not being able to do what you usually do, that would make me | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
more concerned about a child. How do you help somebody experiencing that? | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
I think every child is different but for the most severely affected we | :27:33. | :27:38. | |
would use CBT, cognitive behavioural therapy, where children are | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
encouraged to go back and think about the upsetting memories but | :27:41. | :27:44. | |
instead of being associated with fear and distress, a therapist is | :27:45. | :27:51. | |
able to work with the child and help them find ways to bring calm to that | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
situation. It is a treatment that works really well and I have seen | :27:56. | :28:00. | |
many children and young people helped with that. It will not be a | :28:01. | :28:07. | |
quick treatment? No, it can be quite hard work but it can make a big | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
difference. Just behind you we are seeing the picture of the building, | :28:13. | :28:17. | |
the charred building. It will be covered, I think later this month. | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
How much does having to see that on a daily basis impact on those | :28:22. | :28:27. | |
affected by this? I think it can add to the distress. With what I have | :28:28. | :28:31. | |
been saying about treatment as well and getting on with life and finding | :28:32. | :28:37. | |
ways to find can rather than distress thinking about what has | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
happened, this is a way of also beginning to come to terms with what | :28:43. | :28:46. | |
has happened. Thank you very much, Dr Gary Wannon. | :28:47. | :28:48. | |
Hundreds of people are going to be moved out of their high rise flats | :28:49. | :28:51. | |
in South East London - after an investigation has | :28:52. | :28:53. | |
Dan Johnson is there with the latest. | :28:54. | :28:58. | |
What is the situation? This is the Ledbury estate in Southwark, south | :28:59. | :29:09. | |
London. There are four tower blocks, 242 flats. Residents have had | :29:10. | :29:12. | |
letters from the council telling them that urgent work is needed and | :29:13. | :29:17. | |
but for the meantime the flats are not safe unless the gases cut-off. | :29:18. | :29:22. | |
To understand this we need to go back nearly 50 years to a tower | :29:23. | :29:27. | |
block collapse in London called Ronan point, which was prompted by a | :29:28. | :29:33. | |
gas explosion which blew out a wall in a flat, which prompted a collapse | :29:34. | :29:37. | |
on one side of the building. It killed four people back in 1968. As | :29:38. | :29:43. | |
a result of that dust -- disaster new building regulations were | :29:44. | :29:46. | |
stipulated which meant blocks like those constructed in the same way | :29:47. | :29:50. | |
had to be strengthened to withstand a similar gas explosion. In the last | :29:51. | :29:53. | |
few weeks the council has been conducting inspections in the wake | :29:54. | :29:59. | |
of the Grenfell Tower disaster and as as well as looking at the | :30:00. | :30:02. | |
external fabrication of the building they have been looking at the | :30:03. | :30:06. | |
structure inside. This is not about the cladding on the outside or even | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
the fireproofing inside, it is about whether the concrete structure could | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
withstand a gas explosion. The conclusion of the engineers | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
yesterday is that the structural improvement work that should have | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
been done almost 50 years ago has not been done, therefore those tower | :30:23. | :30:26. | |
blocks are not safe, that is why the gas has been cut off as we speak and | :30:27. | :30:31. | |
residents are told they will have to provide their own hot water with | :30:32. | :30:35. | |
electric heaters and in the very near future residents will have to | :30:36. | :30:39. | |
move out so improvement work can take place. Let's talk to one of the | :30:40. | :30:43. | |
people who lives here, she joins us with her two sons. How do you feel? | :30:44. | :30:51. | |
We are worried, we are angry it's got to this point. We have been | :30:52. | :30:59. | |
advised to use local leisure centre is to take the children and | :31:00. | :31:03. | |
ourselves to shower. We are not going to run any hot water in the | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
flat. I'm lucky I have got an electric cooker but I have been told | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
to heat water on the electric cooker to Bath the baby, we are well past | :31:14. | :31:20. | |
that stage, 1946 my mum was born and that is how they Bath babies back | :31:21. | :31:26. | |
then and we should not have to do it now. It's not just now, if there was | :31:27. | :31:31. | |
a fire it would spread straight through. There have been cracks in | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
the building that residents have been highlighting for years? For | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
over 20 years, I have been here seven years and have alerted the | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
council to them more than once. We have seen some pictures from inside | :31:46. | :31:50. | |
your flat. I had people out to fix them but they are back under worse | :31:51. | :31:55. | |
than ever. They are not just a structural problem they might be a | :31:56. | :31:59. | |
fire risk as well. We can only stay here because we have fire wardens, | :32:00. | :32:04. | |
this is what we were told and this has been going on since the 29th of | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
June. We went out, came back in and there was a security system and fire | :32:11. | :32:17. | |
wardens sat on every floor. They are here 24/7, does it make you feel | :32:18. | :32:22. | |
safe? Not really, because have of them do not speak English. They | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
cannot understand when somebody does smell smoke, she ran down from the | :32:27. | :32:30. | |
tenth floor to the fourth floor before she could find somebody who | :32:31. | :32:33. | |
could understand, other than that she was being told no English, | :32:34. | :32:38. | |
that's not helpful. The council said they will re-home you will be make | :32:39. | :32:43. | |
things safer, are you happy with that? No, once I move out I need to | :32:44. | :32:48. | |
be gone permanently, we cannot move backward and forward, it is not | :32:49. | :32:54. | |
fair. You want a new home and a new start? I don't want to leave the | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
community we have got here because it is an amazing community, the | :32:58. | :33:02. | |
tenants Association, the chair has worked hard to give us the community | :33:03. | :33:12. | |
we have got, we are going to leave a lot behind but when you look at it | :33:13. | :33:16. | |
from a safety aspect I have to put the children first. Of course, thank | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
you, appreciate your time. Another reason for people in tower blocks to | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
be an easy, it looks like another developing scandal, building | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
regulations, measures which should have been enacted almost 50 years | :33:30. | :33:33. | |
ago still not adhered to and it's possible these are not the only | :33:34. | :33:38. | |
blocks affected. Thank you. Let's get you the latest on Oxford Circus | :33:39. | :33:43. | |
station after being evacuated after smoke was seen coming from inside | :33:44. | :33:48. | |
the Bakerloo line carriage, that's one of the pictures on social media, | :33:49. | :33:54. | |
it looks pretty dramatic, British Transport Police saying the cause of | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
the fire is not being treated as suspicious. We will bring you the | :33:59. | :34:06. | |
very latest shortly. Expecting to speak to an eyewitness. Also coming | :34:07. | :34:09. | |
up: A warning Britain could face | :34:10. | :34:12. | |
30 years of terror. The former head of MI5, Lord Evans, | :34:13. | :34:14. | |
says the Islamist terror Have you been stuck waiting | :34:15. | :34:17. | |
for hours at an airport this summer? Found out what the worst airport | :34:18. | :34:23. | |
for delays is in Britain, and the airline that's adding | :34:24. | :34:26. | |
to the queues. Here's Ben in the BBC Newsroom | :34:27. | :34:29. | |
with a summary of todays news. US Defence Secretary James Mattis | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
has said America still hopes to solve the North Korea | :34:35. | :34:37. | |
crisis using diplomacy. After days of fiery rhetoric | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
from both the US and North Korea, Mr Mattis said war would be | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
"catastrophic" and that diplomacy On Thursday, the North Korean regime | :34:46. | :34:48. | |
announced it was finalising a plan to fire four missiles near the US | :34:49. | :34:55. | |
territory of Guam. Donations made to the victims | :34:56. | :35:02. | |
of the Grenfell Tower fire are not reaching survivors quickly enough, | :35:03. | :35:04. | |
according to campaigners Figures from the Charity Commission | :35:05. | :35:06. | |
show that less than 15% of the ?18.9 million raised has | :35:07. | :35:11. | |
been given to people affected, almost two | :35:12. | :35:14. | |
months after the tragedy - but it says that early difficulties | :35:15. | :35:16. | |
in identifying and contacting those easyJet Travelers suffered the worst | :35:17. | :35:43. | |
hold-ups with an average delay of 24 minutes. Both the airport and | :35:44. | :35:47. | |
airline say many of the problems were beyond their control. | :35:48. | :35:49. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10:00am. | :35:50. | :35:53. | |
Let's get the sport again. Last night the big event was the | :35:54. | :36:03. | |
men's 200 metre final and the winner from Turkey beat 400 metre champion | :36:04. | :36:08. | |
and favourite Wayde van Niekerk with Isaac Makwala back in sixth. After | :36:09. | :36:15. | |
breaking her food just six months ago better news for Dina Asher-Smith | :36:16. | :36:19. | |
as she qualified for the 200 metres final running her season 's best of | :36:20. | :36:26. | |
22.73 to finish second. And Britain only has one medal so far from a | :36:27. | :36:30. | |
target of 6-8 but there could be a podium finish tonight in the long | :36:31. | :36:38. | |
jump final. And Rory McIlroy said the course played tricky after his | :36:39. | :36:43. | |
opening round at the USPGA championship in North Carolina, he | :36:44. | :36:50. | |
three shots and finished five behind the leaders. More later. | :36:51. | :36:56. | |
The former head of MI5, Lord Evans, has warned | :36:57. | :36:58. | |
that the Islamist terror threat facing Britain could continue | :36:59. | :37:00. | |
In an interview with the BBC, he also said Russia was likely | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
to be trying to interfere in the UK's democracy. | :37:06. | :37:10. | |
Our security correspondent Frank Gardner has been speaking | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
Tell us more about what he said about the terror threat. This was a | :37:13. | :37:24. | |
unique opportunity because he's never done a full interview, when he | :37:25. | :37:31. | |
was in MI5 or since he retired four years ago, he has been right at the | :37:32. | :37:35. | |
top of it for six years, there were a lot of things to ask and I started | :37:36. | :37:40. | |
by asking him in his 32 years how has it changed and evolved? There | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
was terrorism in the 1970s with the IRA and there was the espionage | :37:48. | :37:50. | |
threat from the cold War, from Russia even back then. He started by | :37:51. | :37:56. | |
talking about the generational aspect of the terror threat. We are | :37:57. | :38:03. | |
at least 20 years into this. My guess is we will still be dealing | :38:04. | :38:08. | |
with the long tail and another 20 years' time. I think this is | :38:09. | :38:12. | |
genuinely a generational problem. I think we are going to be facing | :38:13. | :38:17. | |
20-30 years of terrorist threats and therefore we need absolutely | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
critically to persevere. One of the really interesting things was I | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
asked him what's it like as an intelligence officer to send out an | :38:29. | :38:33. | |
agent, an informant basically? They do not really do this buying | :38:34. | :38:37. | |
themselves, they do surveillance and intercepts but the people at the | :38:38. | :38:44. | |
sharp end of risk-taking, people who they tried to insert inside | :38:45. | :38:53. | |
terrorism plotters, trying to penetrate foreign organisations, | :38:54. | :38:56. | |
what is it like to send some beer like that out knowing if they are | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
discovered terrible things will happen to them and he was really | :39:01. | :39:05. | |
interesting, he said often it's sleepless nights, it is nail-biting | :39:06. | :39:09. | |
if you are running an operation. They take whatever measures they can | :39:10. | :39:14. | |
to protect them. He was quite alarming I think about some of the | :39:15. | :39:19. | |
threats coming down the line, I asked what the unconventional | :39:20. | :39:21. | |
threats where and he talked about the threat to the Internet of | :39:22. | :39:26. | |
things. This is enabling more of our gadgets including car is to be | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
linked to the Internet which brings new vulnerabilities to hackers, | :39:31. | :39:37. | |
people holding you to ransom, your car or kettle not working unless you | :39:38. | :39:43. | |
pay a fine. He also spoke about what Russia might be doing to meddle with | :39:44. | :39:49. | |
British democracy? Yeah, he spent some time in counter espionage | :39:50. | :39:55. | |
himself which is a branch of MI5's work, he said it would be impossible | :39:56. | :40:02. | |
to imagine the kind of interference as he put it that Russia has | :40:03. | :40:09. | |
allegedly carried out in the United States and other Western countries | :40:10. | :40:13. | |
particularly with elections, that Britain would not also be vulnerable | :40:14. | :40:17. | |
to that. He did not want to go into more detail but said it is a threat. | :40:18. | :40:23. | |
What is being done to protect us from that threat, what is likely to | :40:24. | :40:30. | |
be done? They have the national cyber Security Centre which they | :40:31. | :40:34. | |
launched sometime ago, it was slightly farcical I must say because | :40:35. | :40:38. | |
they were talking about the defence of properties and I said is there | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
any kind of offensive capability Britain has and the person giving | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
the speech said I don't think we can talk about that, then I heard him | :40:48. | :40:53. | |
say, do we actually have one? They do now but I don't think they did | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
when they launched it. They are investing billions of pounds in | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
trying to shore up Britain to make it as hard a target as possible and | :41:03. | :41:07. | |
yet these digital hacks and vulnerabilities persist. We are | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
still on the of the iceberg when it comes to the digital threats to the | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
UK and other countries. Thank you Frank. | :41:15. | :41:17. | |
Why were contaminated eggs imported from the Netherlands? | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
It seems an adult would have to eat seven eggs over 24 hours to be at | :41:22. | :41:34. | |
risk from any contaminated eggs. Oxford Circus tube station has been | :41:35. | :41:38. | |
closed and the Bakerloo line suspended between elephant and | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
Castle and Piccadilly Circus because of a fire alert. Pictures on social | :41:42. | :41:47. | |
media show smoke coming from a train. The British Transport Police | :41:48. | :41:52. | |
say the fire is not being treated as suspicious. We can speak to a man | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
who was in the station at the time, I think we have some of your | :41:57. | :42:03. | |
pictures as well, well, Tom, tell us what happens? I was going from | :42:04. | :42:11. | |
Brixton to moral born so I normally change at Oxford Circus, I got off | :42:12. | :42:15. | |
my train, as we were waiting on the platform you could smell something | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
as the train was coming in and as it got closer and the smell got | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
stronger and stronger and when the train pulled then you could see one | :42:24. | :42:31. | |
carriage with smoke inside it. Then a lot more smoke started coming out, | :42:32. | :42:38. | |
everybody was standing around and they started evacuating the station | :42:39. | :42:41. | |
but a lot of people with hands or mouths and coughing. Did the smoke | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
seem to be contained to one carriage? It looked like it was, | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
just one carriage that had a problem. Coogee see any indication | :42:53. | :42:59. | |
of where the smoke might have been coming from, what might have caused | :43:00. | :43:06. | |
it? I suspect may the mortars or something like that underneath the | :43:07. | :43:11. | |
carriage, I don't know much about trains to be honest. Whether any | :43:12. | :43:16. | |
people on the carriage as it pulled in? I think there were a few, it's | :43:17. | :43:20. | |
quite difficult to get between carriages. Thanks very much for | :43:21. | :43:28. | |
telling us your experiences and giving us your pictures, thank you. | :43:29. | :43:30. | |
No problem, by? Police investigating the European | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
egg contamination scandal have arrested two company directors | :43:37. | :43:38. | |
following raids in the Netherlands. Here the Food Standards Agency has | :43:39. | :43:40. | |
revealed that 700,000 contaminated eggs have been imported | :43:41. | :43:42. | |
from Dutch farms, up from their original | :43:43. | :43:44. | |
estimate of 21,000 but experts insists it is "highly | :43:45. | :43:46. | |
unlikely" they pose any Sandwiches and salads are among | :43:47. | :43:48. | |
the foods that have now been removed And should we be worried | :43:49. | :43:55. | |
about the eggs currently Mark Williams from the British Egg | :43:56. | :44:05. | |
Industry Council joins us Thank you for joining us, can you | :44:06. | :44:18. | |
understand how the number of affected eggs shot up to 700,000 in | :44:19. | :44:26. | |
a matter of days? This is what the Food Standards Agency have notified | :44:27. | :44:31. | |
as part of their investigations, the key point is I believe the food | :44:32. | :44:35. | |
products which have been withdrawn from sale of all been made with | :44:36. | :44:41. | |
these potentially affected imported eggs. Another key point is that | :44:42. | :44:49. | |
British eggs are safe. The safest in the world. The assurance consumers | :44:50. | :44:52. | |
in this country can have is that if they look for the lion on the egg | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
shell and the box they are getting the safest eggs in the world. Are | :44:57. | :45:04. | |
most of the eggs we buy in our supermarkets British produced? How | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
many actual eggs we buy, forget eggs in other products are imported? | :45:09. | :45:15. | |
We are about 85% self-sufficient and have to import about 15% of our | :45:16. | :45:24. | |
needs, unfortunately. All the major supermarkets, the discount | :45:25. | :45:27. | |
supermarkets, they all stop British Lion egg so consumers do not have to | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
be worried at all, British eggs are safe. What do you think about the | :45:33. | :45:38. | |
time taken for this to be picked up in the way it has been? I mentioned | :45:39. | :45:42. | |
that in a matter of days the number of eggs being looked at in this | :45:43. | :45:47. | |
country, the estimate has gone from 21,000 to 700,000. The problem was | :45:48. | :45:51. | |
first picked up last November but it was only last week that a | :45:52. | :45:56. | |
Europe-wide safety alert was issued. Of statements are being made coming | :45:57. | :46:01. | |
out of the continent but the key point is that this contamination is | :46:02. | :46:06. | |
a result of criminal activity. Somebody has put this insecticide | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
Fipronil into a normal product which is used to treat red mites, which | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
can potentially have bird welfare issues unless their numbers are kept | :46:17. | :46:22. | |
down. Somebody has adulterated this normal product in Holland and that | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
has led to this particular crisis in Holland. It is totally wrong, it | :46:27. | :46:31. | |
does not help trust in food at all but I think from a British point of | :46:32. | :46:36. | |
view our consumers can be totally assured that British eggs are safe. | :46:37. | :46:41. | |
The problem we have is when it comes to food products made with processed | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
egg, how does a consumer tell they are British? We know that there are | :46:47. | :46:51. | |
quite a few food products made with imported eggs at the moment, we have | :46:52. | :46:57. | |
been calling on food manufacturers and retailers to actually use | :46:58. | :47:00. | |
British Lion egg products in these food products. We also like to see | :47:01. | :47:06. | |
country of origin labelling on egg products. So if any imports come in | :47:07. | :47:10. | |
in the future they will be clearly labelled with the country of origin. | :47:11. | :47:14. | |
At the beginning you said there was about a 15% shortfall in the number | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
of British eggs being produced versus eggs on the shelves, is the | :47:19. | :47:25. | |
shortfall because Moore can't be produced effectively? How much | :47:26. | :47:28. | |
capacity is there in the market when you say you want British eggs used | :47:29. | :47:33. | |
for everything in the supermarkets, including products made from eggs? | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
We would dearly like to supply all the eggs and egg products to our | :47:38. | :47:41. | |
customers, but what we need is clear market signals from them that will | :47:42. | :47:46. | |
lead to our egg producers, who do a fantastic job in this country, | :47:47. | :47:52. | |
basically being able to produce more eggs for consumers. Thank you very | :47:53. | :47:54. | |
much for joining us. A pleasure. This weekend the world's | :47:55. | :47:57. | |
fastest man - Usain Bolt - will take part in his final | :47:58. | :47:59. | |
competitive race before retiring. During his career, the sprinter has | :48:00. | :48:02. | |
won eight Olympic gold medals and holds the 100 and 200 | :48:03. | :48:04. | |
metre world records. He's also one of the world's most | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
popular athletes - with fans won over by his talent, | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
playful nature and trademark pose. Usain Bolt's final race | :48:13. | :48:18. | |
will be the 4x100m relay at the World Athletics Championships | :48:19. | :48:20. | |
in London tomorrow. It's not sure if he will take part | :48:21. | :48:22. | |
in the heats in the morning, but he's expected to compete | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
in the final in the evening. Joining us now to talk about Bolt's | :48:27. | :48:30. | |
career are two of the four men who made up Great Britain's 4x400m | :48:31. | :48:33. | |
relay team and so memorably stormed to victory, | :48:34. | :48:36. | |
winning gold in the event at the World Championships in 1991 - | :48:37. | :48:38. | |
Kriss Akabusi and Roger Black. Actually, one of the men joins us, | :48:39. | :48:52. | |
Kriss Akabusi. Hello, how are you? About great, we are looking for to | :48:53. | :48:56. | |
speaking to you. Also joining a $:/STARTFEED. | :48:57. | :48:57. | |
13-year-old Vera, who is a fan of Usain Bolt, | :48:58. | :48:59. | |
And we're also joined by the Telegraph's | :49:00. | :49:02. | |
Welcome to you all. Kriss, tell us how he ranks among the all-time | :49:03. | :49:13. | |
greats in athletics? Clearly he is an icon of the sport. He is ranked | :49:14. | :49:20. | |
along with guys like Edwin Moses, Lord Coe, Daley Thompson, Michael | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
Johnson, these guys are icons of the sport. You sane is the icon of his | :49:27. | :49:35. | |
day. -- Usain is the icon of his day. He has won three Olympic golds, | :49:36. | :49:41. | |
which is phenomenal. Vera, you have been inspired by Usain Bolt? When | :49:42. | :49:46. | |
did that happen? When I first saw him is when he beat the 2008 world | :49:47. | :49:52. | |
record, I could see it was really hard work and determination he put | :49:53. | :49:57. | |
in to be the fastest man. What impact has it had on you? It has | :49:58. | :50:02. | |
taught me to work harder, even if I did not win this | :50:03. | :50:14. | |
race I could come back stronger if I work harder for the next race. What | :50:15. | :50:19. | |
are you doing in athletics and how are you getting on? About 200 | :50:20. | :50:21. | |
metres, it is going well so far. Ifeanyi, it is always nice when a | :50:22. | :50:24. | |
child has a role model who can help to propel them forward? Of course. | :50:25. | :50:27. | |
My family have a lot of interest in sports, and as her dad it is always | :50:28. | :50:34. | |
my duty and obligation to support them in any form. Taking them from | :50:35. | :50:42. | |
one place to another, financially and otherwise. Ben, he is an athlete | :50:43. | :50:47. | |
who does not seem to have put a foot wrong. He has performed amazingly? I | :50:48. | :50:54. | |
think I would take it a step forward than what Kriss said, Kriss named | :50:55. | :50:59. | |
some of the greats of athletics over the years. They are big within the | :51:00. | :51:03. | |
sport and somewhat transcend the sport, but athletics has never had | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
anyone like Usain Bolt before who is bigger than the sport, you can say | :51:08. | :51:12. | |
the name Bolt anywhere in the world and they will know who this man is, | :51:13. | :51:17. | |
he is enormous. What is it about him? If you don't follow athletics, | :51:18. | :51:22. | |
you know who he is and his trademark pose. It has really caught on. The | :51:23. | :51:28. | |
pose is a big thing. Obviously he has done amazing things on the | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
track. You listed the titles he has won and the gold medals, that is one | :51:34. | :51:38. | |
thing, the other is his superstar aura that he carries with him, the | :51:39. | :51:44. | |
phone he has on the start line, the dancing, playing with his hair and | :51:45. | :51:47. | |
all that stuff. That has really resonated with the wider world. That | :51:48. | :51:53. | |
is what takes it beyond a sporting achievement into the wider public | :51:54. | :51:59. | |
realm. Kriss, when you watch it you get the sense, it has been said so | :52:00. | :52:03. | |
many times, gosh, if he really tried, how much faster could he go? | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
He makes it look so easy? I think that is going to be one of the | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
things that will come back to haunt him one day. He seemed like he was | :52:13. | :52:21. | |
jogging in 2009. I think one day he will see somebody run 9.49 and know | :52:22. | :52:25. | |
deep down inside that he could have smashed that. But you can only | :52:26. | :52:31. | |
compete in your time, he has been phenomenal, he is a legend. The | :52:32. | :52:35. | |
sport will miss him, he has big shoes to fill. But he is here, we | :52:36. | :52:40. | |
had to enjoy him this weekend. You are seeing poetry in motion, a | :52:41. | :52:46. | |
legend in his lifetime, enjoy it. When you say he might look back and | :52:47. | :52:49. | |
think he could have smashed it, do you think he has not done as well as | :52:50. | :52:55. | |
he potentially could have? He was a young man, when he ran 9.58 it was | :52:56. | :53:02. | |
2009, he was young. He had all of his life ahead of him. As an athlete | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
you can always say you can do a little bit better, he was banging | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
his chest, not kidding around. But coming to the twilight of your | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
career you realise you never get that chance again. It is a real | :53:13. | :53:18. | |
death in his life, he has to moved from a field that he knew so well | :53:19. | :53:23. | |
and graced so beautifully into his next phase. He has lots of lovely | :53:24. | :53:26. | |
things ahead of him but he will never be in the shape to run 9.49 | :53:27. | :53:31. | |
and he will know deep down he could have done that. Roger Black joins | :53:32. | :53:37. | |
us. How do you think Usain Bolt ranks among the all-time greats? | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
Here is the greatest athlete of all time. I don't think many people | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
would argue against that. Nine Olympic gold medals, multiple world | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
records and the sustainability over such a long period. More | :53:52. | :53:54. | |
importantly, he has transcended athletics. He is a global superstar. | :53:55. | :54:03. | |
Many great athletes have not been like Usain has been. How hard is it | :54:04. | :54:09. | |
when you are bowing out? He has had an amazing career and it seems like | :54:10. | :54:15. | |
universal adoration? It is pretty sad, it is hard. The athlete | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
struggles in retirement because you will never be as good as what you | :54:19. | :54:22. | |
have just done, you have the rest of your life that if you want it will | :54:23. | :54:25. | |
never be as clear. In athletics every year there is a Championships | :54:26. | :54:30. | |
and your whole world leads to that. Kriss and I have moved on, it has | :54:31. | :54:36. | |
been OK. Some people struggle, some do better. Usain Bolt will have so | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
many options and opportunities, the world is at his hands, whatever he | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
wants to do, but he will miss it, Kriss is right, the clarity is of | :54:45. | :54:50. | |
purpose, but I think he will be all right. What do you think he will do? | :54:51. | :54:57. | |
There have been jokes he will sign for Manchester United? He will go to | :54:58. | :55:04. | |
Hollywood! Do you reckon, Kriss? Do some films, bust a fewer records, | :55:05. | :55:09. | |
travel the world. He is worth 45 million quid, there is a lot you can | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
do when you are worth that. He does not need the money. What do you | :55:14. | :55:20. | |
reckon, Roger? I think he will be some sort of global ambassador. He | :55:21. | :55:25. | |
likes his football. In retirement you see the opportunity to do will | :55:26. | :55:28. | |
be things you could not do as an athlete. He will play loads of | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
football, get involved in the things he could not do and then at some | :55:33. | :55:35. | |
point he will decide what he wants to be, but I think he will have a | :55:36. | :55:40. | |
few years of having a lot more fun, he has had enough phone in the last | :55:41. | :55:50. | |
ten! At some point he will decide. Have you both met him? Not | :55:51. | :55:52. | |
personally. I have seen him like everybody else but not met him. I | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
met him when he was very young, he is one of these athletes who was | :55:57. | :56:00. | |
breaking records that are very early age, so I met him when he was 15, | :56:01. | :56:06. | |
16, 17. I have not meant him properly in the past few years. | :56:07. | :56:11. | |
Dawes had not met him properly. We can't see you but we can hear you. | :56:12. | :56:17. | |
What was he like at that age? Just another athlete, really. He was a | :56:18. | :56:22. | |
great talent, he showed a lot of promise but to become what he | :56:23. | :56:29. | |
became, the fact that he did it is the mark of the man. There is lots | :56:30. | :56:34. | |
of talent out there who never fulfil their potential. Behind all the | :56:35. | :56:40. | |
laughing and joking and the moves and all that, there is a very... I | :56:41. | :56:45. | |
would not say serious athlete but he knows who he is and how to prepare | :56:46. | :56:49. | |
and get it right, he deserves enormous respect for that. He is a | :56:50. | :56:54. | |
serious athlete. He hits his numbers. 20 in the winter, 20 in the | :56:55. | :57:03. | |
spring, 20 in the summer, speed endurance, strength, conditioning. | :57:04. | :57:08. | |
He does his numbers. He does his weights, he actually gets himself | :57:09. | :57:19. | |
ready. Forget all that joking stuff, he must be focused because you can't | :57:20. | :57:24. | |
deliver, no matter how talented. I see many, many talented failures. | :57:25. | :57:29. | |
Sorry to interrupt you, Kriss, but that is what you said, Vera, about | :57:30. | :57:34. | |
why he is a role model, you know the hard work he puts in? Yes. Even | :57:35. | :57:39. | |
recently when he didn't win his race he showed good sportsmanship and | :57:40. | :57:46. | |
clapped to the audience, appreciated them and stuff. Ben, have you met or | :57:47. | :57:52. | |
interviewed him? A few times in group situations. What was he like? | :57:53. | :57:57. | |
A group he does not much enjoy the whole media focus. He likes playing | :57:58. | :58:03. | |
the showman to the crowd. I think he has got to the stage now where he | :58:04. | :58:08. | |
wants a bit of normality in his life, he does not necessarily what | :58:09. | :58:11. | |
the attention the whole time. When he is on the stage she will have the | :58:12. | :58:15. | |
attention, away from the stage he quite likes just being normal. I was | :58:16. | :58:19. | |
in Kingston in Jamaica for his last run in Jamaica couple of months ago, | :58:20. | :58:23. | |
speaking to people who know him quite well. They got across the | :58:24. | :58:29. | |
sense of normality. He goes to the local gym, takes part in spin | :58:30. | :58:33. | |
classes with me is due and whoever turns up for a spin class. | :58:34. | :58:41. | |
Those classes must be popular! I thought it was amazing, turning to | :58:42. | :58:44. | |
your left and single bull's fastest man on the bike. And he is six foot | :58:45. | :58:50. | |
five, hard to miss him. What do you think he will do? After he retires? | :58:51. | :58:56. | |
He has mentioned the football thing. Is that a complete joke or is it | :58:57. | :59:01. | |
possible? I think at one stage he would like to have thought he could | :59:02. | :59:05. | |
maybe do something but he has sort of accepted that will not happen. | :59:06. | :59:10. | |
Like Kriss and Rogers said I think he will travel the world, take on | :59:11. | :59:15. | |
some ambassadorial projects, do charity work. He says his heart is | :59:16. | :59:21. | |
in athletics so he will promote the sport, he is an amazing figurehead | :59:22. | :59:24. | |
so the sport does not want to lose him, they want to get everything | :59:25. | :59:28. | |
they can out of him and he will continue to help the sport grow. | :59:29. | :59:32. | |
Vera and Ifeanyi, what would you like to see him do? I accept what | :59:33. | :59:39. | |
was said by one of the guys over there that he would like to do more | :59:40. | :59:46. | |
of travel around. Sometimes be with family or something like that. He | :59:47. | :59:52. | |
deserves a break. He deserves a break. The family, if possible. | :59:53. | :00:01. | |
That's what I think. He has to relax a little bit. Vera, have you met | :00:02. | :00:08. | |
him? No. Hopefully you might at some stage. Let's see what he does, he | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
might carry on in a mentoring role. Thank you all very much. We would | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
love to know who has inspired you in sport or any other field. | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
The weather are not very inspiring across Northern and Western parts of | :00:26. | :00:33. | |
the UK, lots of cloud and outbreaks of rain, the rain will be quite | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
heavy at times gradually moving further east but I think for East | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
Anglia and the south-east of England you will get away with a dry day | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
without sunshine, temperatures getting up to 22 or 23 degrees but | :00:47. | :00:51. | |
elsewhere a lot of cloud, outbreaks of rain and particularly in Northern | :00:52. | :00:58. | |
Western parts are bit of drizzle. Through this evening that rain will | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
spread its way to the far east, cloudy for many of us into Saturday | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
morning but during Saturday many of us will see the clouds breaking up | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
to give a sunny spells, pleasant during the afternoon, one or two | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
showers dotted around but I think for most of us the emphasis should | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
be on a dry day but on Sunday and other dry day for many of us, role | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
play a better day in terms of the sunshine. | :01:25. | :01:33. | |

Here's Ben in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of todays news. | :02:44. | :02:55. | |
US Defence Secretary James Mattis says war against North Korea would | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
be catastrophic. That despite increased rhetoric from Donald | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
Trump. James Mattis says the US is still focused on talking. The | :03:08. | :03:14. | |
American effort is diplomatically lead, it has diplomatic traction and | :03:15. | :03:20. | |
is gaining diplomatic results and I want to stay right there right now. | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
The tragedy of war is well enough known, I does not need another | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
characterisation beyond the fact it would be catastrophic. Lets see what | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
he does with Guam. He does something in Glam it will be an event the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
likes of which no one has ever seen before, what will happen in North | :03:42. | :03:42. | |
Korea. The UK may continue to face | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
the threat of Islamist terrorism for another "20 to 30 years" , | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
that's the warning from the former In an interview with the BBC's Today | :03:49. | :03:51. | |
programme, Lord Evans went onto to describe the issue | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
as a "generational problem" and that the UK needed | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
to "persevere" with efforts My guess is that we will still be | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
dealing with the long tail I think this is genuinely | :04:00. | :04:08. | |
a generational problem. I think that we are going to be | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
facing 20 or 30 years of terrorist threats, | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
and therefore we need absolutely One of the former aides | :04:18. | :04:19. | |
to Brexit Secretary David Davis has said that leaving the EU will be | :04:20. | :04:29. | |
a calamity for our country. Speaking to the Today Programme | :04:30. | :04:32. | |
this morning, he said that the Conservatives had been | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
badly damaged by the process - and that promises made to voters | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
during the referendum were false. People have voted for Brexit and, | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
yes, most people do now think, "Well, let's just get on with it, | :04:43. | :04:45. | |
we've made the decision," but Where is the ?350 million a week | :04:46. | :04:48. | |
for the health service? It's going to be a calamity | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
for our country. Firefighters have closed | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
Oxford Circus Underground station in central London following reports | :04:59. | :05:00. | |
of smoke on a train. London Fire Brigade confirmed | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
that they were at the station and investigating smoke | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
on a Bakerloo line train. Witnesses report the smell | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
of burning plastic as they were But the fire is not being | :05:09. | :05:11. | |
treated as suspicious. Donations made to the victims | :05:12. | :05:19. | |
of the Grenfell Tower fire are not reaching survivors quickly enough, | :05:20. | :05:22. | |
according to campaigners Figures from the Charity Commission | :05:23. | :05:24. | |
show that less than 15% of the ?18.9 million raised has | :05:25. | :05:28. | |
been given to people affected, almost two | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
months after the tragedy - but it says that early difficulties | :05:34. | :05:35. | |
in identifying and contacting those Passengers flying from Gatwick | :05:36. | :05:53. | |
during the last two Summers experienced the longest average | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
delays according to data analysed by the BBC. EasyJet Travelers suffered | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
the worst hold-ups with an average delay of 24 minutes. The airport and | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
airline say many of the problems are beyond their control. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10:30pm. | :06:11. | :06:17. | |
Let us know who has inspired you in any field, we are talking in | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
particular about Usain Bolt as he retires from athletics tomorrow and | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
we were talking to a girl inspired by Usain Bolt to go into athletics | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
and work hard because she said she could see his worth -- work ethic. | :06:35. | :06:43. | |
We also want to hear from you on this team did eggs story, one person | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
getting in touch seeing the EU nations should stop trying to cover | :06:49. | :06:57. | |
this up, thank goodness for Brexit. Some people waiting for me to drop | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
the pun eggspert. I will not be doing that. It seems you will have | :07:07. | :07:17. | |
to eat seven eggs in 24 hours to have any problems and in terms of | :07:18. | :07:22. | |
how long it took to unfold the issue was first spotted in November but it | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
was last week at Europe-wide alert was put out. Let's catch up with the | :07:28. | :07:35. | |
sport at the London Stadium. Good morning, busy morning session | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
already in action here we have got the men's decathlon and the 100 | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
metres heats under way, one person who has been catching the eye here | :07:46. | :07:50. | |
is Dina Asher-Smith of Great Britain, just five years ago she was | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
at this London Stadium for the London 2012 Olympics but was not | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
competing, she was carrying equipment and here she is now racing | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
against the best athletes on the globe. She has really impressed | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
during these championships in the 200 metres and earlier I spoke to | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
her about how tough season has been. I completely broke my foot, I had to | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
have surgery and is then I had to spend six weeks not doing anything, | :08:24. | :08:26. | |
not putting weight on it then gradually putting weight on it, | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
three months I was completely out of pretty much walking then I learnt | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
how to walk and here we are. It wasn't that bad, I am joking, I | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
would not recommend it, it was no fun! There has been lots of talk | :08:39. | :08:47. | |
about the British medal tally, they were given an ambitious target in | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
the run-up, 6-8 medals but there have been a lot of fourth-place | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
finishes, Callum Hawkins in the marathon, Laura Muir in the 1500 | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
metres and recently Kyle Langford in the 800 metres. Such fine margins in | :09:02. | :09:14. | |
elite sport. Earlier I spoke to Colin Jackson and he said sometimes | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
results are out of the athletes control. Sometimes you need a bit of | :09:19. | :09:26. | |
luck, we have had four fourth places which could have been bronze medals | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
which would be a different feel for us all. At the beginning of the | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
championships I said we will have many fourth and fifth places that we | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
should celebrate because the team is still developing and with that in | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
mind it is a developing and hungry team, do not give up on them yet. | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
The morning session already underway here, British bands will have a lot | :09:49. | :09:52. | |
to cheer about, Robbie Grabaz scores in the high jump qualifying, he got | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
a medal in Rio last year so will want to put in a good showing and | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
later tonight the final of the women's long jump with the British | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
indoor record-holder who is looking good for possibly a podium place. On | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
the track Lynsey Sharp one of three British women in the semifinals of | :10:16. | :10:19. | |
the 800 metres, the sun is out and there will be lots for fans to cheer | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
about. Thanks. CCTV will be mandatory | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
in all slaughterhouses in England under new plans announced | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
by Environment Cameras will have to be in all areas | :10:29. | :10:29. | |
where live animals are present, with unrestricted access to footage | :10:30. | :10:33. | |
for Official Vets The aim is to reassure consumers | :10:34. | :10:35. | |
that high welfare standards According to a study | :10:36. | :10:43. | |
at Sheffield Hallam University, while some of England's 260 | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
slaughterhouses chose to install CCTV, 'the cameras were by-and-large | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
used to prevent meat theft rather than to protect animals, | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
and the footage was Let's talk now to Kate Fowler, | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
who led an undercover camera investigation into slaughterhouses | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
for Animal Aid. Craig Kirby is from the Association | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
of Independent Meat Suppliers, that represents slaughterhouses | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
and has also worked as a vet in slaughterhouses | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
for 20 years in the past. Thank you both for joining us, tell | :11:11. | :11:22. | |
us first of all about your investigations thank you, it started | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
in 2009 when we put our first fly in the wall camera inside a UK | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
slaughterhouse and we did not have any expectations, it was just out of | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
interest. What we found was very worrying, we did not expect to find | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
lawbreaking but we found it. We did not want to go public... What did | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
you find? There was rough handling, questions over stunning, it was not | :11:50. | :11:54. | |
the worst but we had enough concerns we wanted to continue so we placed | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
two more cameras, the next slaughterhouse was better and the | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
one after that significantly worse so we had a whole range of | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
situations. That is when we went public initially. Since 2009 we have | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
placed cameras in a lot more slaughter houses, 14 in total and we | :12:12. | :12:17. | |
believe all but one were breaking animal welfare laws. How widespread | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
the think issues have been? Almost all of them were breaking laws on | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
the day we had the cameras they are, these were not things you could | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
miss, these work punching pigs in the head, using a shackle hooked in | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
the face of an animal, kicking them in the belly, problems with layout | :12:35. | :12:42. | |
and the handling of animals, it is widespread and serious. Craig is | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
that the picture you recognise? I do not think it is a representative | :12:49. | :12:52. | |
example of the food industry in the UK generally, there is another | :12:53. | :12:59. | |
charity that has done a similar activity inside two or three | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
slaughter houses, there are about 260 in the country and everyone of | :13:04. | :13:09. | |
them has a full-time vet. Why would it be the case these things have | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
been happening in the 14, most of the 14 may have looked that? Most of | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
the footage I saw when I was working for the Food Standards Agency with | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
different skills problem, some were technical breaches which were not | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
causing suffering to the animals, some were things which just did not | :13:27. | :13:32. | |
work, to the uneducated eye the process difficult to digestive | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
think, some of the things were very bad and some people have been | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
brought to task. At the slaughter houses you put cameras in, they had | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
vets so how could this be happening? That's a good question, vets work | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
throughout the slaughterhouse, a lot of them do not appear to be at what | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
we call the business end of events. In all of our footage and I | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
personally have watched maybe 300 hours of footage and we have not | :14:03. | :14:05. | |
seen vets coming into the stunning or slaughter areas all that much. So | :14:06. | :14:12. | |
what would you say to that Craig, you have been a vet in a | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
slaughterhouse, have you sometimes not been near being able to see it? | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
It's about having the right skill and knowledge to understand animals | :14:22. | :14:24. | |
and the slaughtering process and being in the right place at the | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
right time. This is why we support mandatory CCTV as a supportive | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
measure because Bates should be there and abattoir owners have got | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
responsibilities to make sure the animals are handled and killed what | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
you mean way possible. If the system was working this would not be | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
happening. CCTV is not the silver bullet to the problem, you have to | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
have people watching it to need to be properly skilled. I think | :14:53. | :14:59. | |
personally the best thing CCTV ads is a training means for abattoir | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
owners to help pick up problems with Staffs bogey staff. It seems unfair | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
we are targeting slaughterhouse staff with government monitored CCTV | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
all the time and no other profession gets this, care home workers are not | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
monitored by CCTV, why are we targeting slaughterhouse workers? Do | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
you think it will make a difference? As Craig is saying it will require a | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
lot of people involved to be across what is coming in. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
The devil will be in the detail. We are not targeting slaughterhouse | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
workers for no reason, we do not want cameras everywhere but of all | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
the investigations we have found they are not able to comply with the | :15:45. | :15:47. | |
law when they think they are not being watched, so we need better | :15:48. | :15:51. | |
regulation, the current system is clearly not working. We need the | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
cameras monitored independently by somebody with welfare is their | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
priority. We see Association of Independent Meat Suppliers's cameras | :16:00. | :16:02. | |
is a version of independently monitored CCTV. The cameras were | :16:03. | :16:24. | |
placed in the right place, switched on, I and my colleagues watched the | :16:25. | :16:28. | |
footage and reported incidents. That is why so many workers have had | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
licenses removed, why we have had prosecutions and there are more to | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
come and why people have been sent to jail, because the CCTV works, and | :16:34. | :16:35. | |
we hope independently monitored CCTV will do the same thing. | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
Thank you both let me bring you an update on the fire on the Bakerloo | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
line train at Oxford Circus tube station, the Fire Service says it is | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
not being treated as suspicious. Hearing a London Ambulance Service | :16:44. | :16:45. | |
spokesperson saying we were called at 8:53am to reports of an incident | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
on board a Bakerloo line train at Oxford Circus tube, we sent an | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
ambulance crew, the hazardous area response team and an incident | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
response officer to the scene, with the first of the medics arriving in | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
less than five minutes. We four patients at the scene for smoke | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
inhalation and have taken two to hospital as a precaution. There is | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
no information yet as to what caused the smoke. | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
What is the worst airline for flight delays? With the summer getaway | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
getting into the full swing, BBC analysis shows where you will find | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
the longest queues. If you have been now you will probably know! Get in | :17:23. | :17:25. | |
touch if you want to tell us what you have experienced this summer. | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
It's a country which attracts almost 18 million people every year. | :17:30. | :17:31. | |
But now a group protesting against mass tourism in Spain has | :17:32. | :17:34. | |
threatened further attacks after targeting British | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
holiday-makers in Barcelona and Mallorca. | :17:37. | :17:37. | |
A sightseeing bus carrying tourists in the Catalan capital was recently | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
attacked by angry demonstrators who slashed its tyres. | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
They say tourism expels people from their neighbourhoods | :17:43. | :17:44. | |
The group behind the protests, Arran - which has been described | :17:45. | :17:52. | |
by the Spanish Prime Minister as extremists - have said | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
they will be carrying out further action over the summer. | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
So with protests now spreading to other countries like Venice | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
and Dubrovnik in Croatia, how much of an impact will this | :18:01. | :18:02. | |
Let's speak now to Duncan McCann, a researcher at the New Economics | :18:03. | :18:09. | |
And from Madrid Taleb Rifai, who has been the Secretary General | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
of the World Tourism Organization since 2010. | :18:14. | :18:21. | |
Thank you both for joining us. Duncan, first of all, tell us why | :18:22. | :18:30. | |
there is this backlash in some areas, some cities, when obviously | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
tourism has always been a vital part of some local economies? I think it | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
is a variety of reasons for the build-up and why it is reaching its | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
crescendo. I think there has been a long term feeling that economies are | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
not working for people. I think in some of these places which also face | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
pressures of mass tourism, the likes of Airbnb allowing tourists to | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
spread out further and deeper into cities, a change nature of tourism | :18:59. | :19:02. | |
focusing more on city breaks rather than longer holidays and in some of | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
these cities, Venice the best example, the rise of these cruise | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
ships and the impact on these small, old towns. And the concerns around | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
those changes are things like Airbnb, people letting up their | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
places on Airbnb, for instance, putting up rents in cities beyond | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
the affordability of residence. I am trying to understand the impact that | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
Airbnb Empoli can have, especially in places with limited accommodation | :19:33. | :19:35. | |
and regulated rental markets. Barcelona, Berlin, San Francisco are | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
some of the highlights in terms of impact but it definitely spreads of | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
a wider area. Taleb Rifai, what is your reaction to these protests? | :19:46. | :19:51. | |
It's very sad to see that happening, simply because while I agree very | :19:52. | :19:57. | |
much with the professor, we are now because of our inability to manage | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
the situation and make tourism growth a sustainable one, we are | :20:03. | :20:05. | |
sacrificing all the good things that can happen and come out of tourism, | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
the jobs, the benefits, in return for mismanagement. I am fully | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
convinced it is an issue of management and it could be sold. I | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
completely agree with the professor that the cruisers are aggravating | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
the situation in a very great man, but it is not tourism to be blamed. | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
Growth is not the enemy, people are not the enemy, numbers are not the | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
enemy. It is how we manage growth that matters. Or you sympathise with | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
the protesters? Absolutely, absolutely. But I would not be so | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
enthusiastic about it. The same people that are now crying no | :20:47. | :20:49. | |
tourists would be the same ones that will save where are the tourists | :20:50. | :20:53. | |
when they disappear. The benefits that are coming are being ignored | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
and overlooked. The city administrations are the first people | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
to be responsible for that. There are remedies and recipes that we | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
could use to be able to deal with the situation, but instead of doing | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
that some of these city administrators are trying to appease | :21:11. | :21:18. | |
the crowds instead of trying to deal with the problem. The easiest way is | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
to say stop and activity. That is not the way to do it. What remedies | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
would you suggest? For example cruisers would have to be better | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
regulated and stay longer. They stay for a very short period, crowding | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
and consuming the place without giving much benefit to people living | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
there. Cruisers can give coupons to visit people Donegall Place as far | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
away from the centre of the city, they can stop benefiting restaurants | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
and cafes in the city instead of having everybody coming back to the | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
ship. -- they can start benefiting. In a city like Barcelona, if you go | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
just half a kilometre from the city centre, the residents are saying | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
where are the tourists? In fairness if you go one or two kilometres, the | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
beautiful countryside, Hills and chapels -- in Venice if you go one | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
or two kilometres. We should have more investment in surrounding areas | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
to defuse the crowds. There are techniques that are very well proven | :22:16. | :22:20. | |
to be working in crowd management, we are not using this. How much | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
other issue has the opening up of people's homes to tourists been? It | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
can undercut hotels, it means the city breaks have become much | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
cheaper, cheap flights means a greater influx of people into cities | :22:37. | :22:43. | |
in greater numbers, I suppose? Of course it is an issue, but it is | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
remedies. Airbnb is also having its benefits as well. It is bringing | :22:50. | :22:56. | |
direct interests and benefits to communities and families directly. | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
When you have a building completely occupied by them with a minority of | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
the regional residents, of course you will have a reaction. We have | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
tried to say no more than 20% of any building should be rented out, there | :23:09. | :23:13. | |
are issues that can be done, regulations that can be imposed and | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
improved. But we will not stop Airbnb, we will not be able to. We | :23:18. | :23:22. | |
will not be able to stop. We had to deal with it, manage it better and | :23:23. | :23:28. | |
approach it more intelligently. Duncan, Taleb outlined some of the | :23:29. | :23:32. | |
things he thinks will make a difference, are there moves to | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
introduce measures like that? For instance, maybe with regard to | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
Airbnb, Barcelona and Berlin have taken a much more robust attitude to | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Airbnb, reinforcing the regulations forcing them to compete with the | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
hotel industry on an equal basis. I think you are seeing the start of | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
some authority being reimposed in the system, but Taleb is absolutely | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
right that we need to refocus the benefits of tourism to the local | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
communities rather than having them extracted through these large | :24:07. | :24:09. | |
multinationals that engage in large tours but don't really give back to | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
the local community. That is how we will really move forward. Taleb, are | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
you worried the anger could turn into violence against tourists? It | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
is protests and tyres being slashed at the moment, might it escalate? Of | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
course I am worried. My call is to city administrators, instead of | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
aggravating the situation we can work together. Duncan is correct, | :24:36. | :24:43. | |
Airbnb and the like are ready to cooperate. We should not overlook... | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
One out of every ten jobs in the world as travel and tourism. People | :24:50. | :24:58. | |
that are crying now will be the first to cry at the city mayors and | :24:59. | :25:01. | |
administration when there are motorists, they will say white do we | :25:02. | :25:09. | |
lose that benefit. We should not sacrifice the benefits of a good | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
human activity like travel for the sake of our inability to manage the | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
situation in a proper way. It is a failure of management. Duncan, you | :25:19. | :25:26. | |
can go one a city break very quickly, state in an Airbnb samara | :25:27. | :25:30. | |
is much more quickly when hotels effectively had total control and | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
therefore also controlled numbers. Can this genie be put back on the | :25:35. | :25:40. | |
bottle? I think it will be very challenging, numbers have increased | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
steadily for a very long time, the Chinese market is opening up with a | :25:44. | :25:49. | |
real quantity of tourists wanting to visit Europe and elsewhere, I think | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
you will be very challenging but I think cities need to take back | :25:54. | :25:56. | |
control and places like Bataan actively limit tourist numbers | :25:57. | :26:04. | |
because they really value the local culture, places are trying things. | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
Thailand recently banned some restricted tourists from some | :26:11. | :26:13. | |
specific islands. You are seeing this regaining of control but it | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
will not happen overnight and I think it will be challenging to look | :26:18. | :26:21. | |
at stemming those numbers, but it is not about changing the quality but | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
changing the spread, encouraging people out of the tight city | :26:26. | :26:30. | |
centres, regulating cruisers so you have less mass arrivals who go | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
around very quickly in the city. It is about changing the numbers | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
overall, changing the spread, where they go, how they move within the | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
city, and solutions are out there for these things. Duncan McCann and | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
Taleb Rifai, thank you. And we are staying with travel. | :26:49. | :26:49. | |
We all know that the summer getaway can be a nightmare. | :26:50. | :26:51. | |
Figures from the Civil Aviation Authority analysed by the BBC show | :26:52. | :26:54. | |
that passengers leaving Gatwick have faced the longest average delays | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
When it came to airlines, Easyjet travellers suffered | :26:58. | :27:00. | |
the worst delays among the ten biggest airlines - | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
So what can we expect and what can we do about it? | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
Frank Barrett is the travel editor for the Mail on Sunday. | :27:11. | :27:17. | |
Hi, thank you for joining us. Tell us more about the worst performers. | :27:18. | :27:26. | |
EasyJet seemed to come out as the worst, but as they say in their | :27:27. | :27:31. | |
defence, that is a function of them operating from Gatwick Airport, | :27:32. | :27:36. | |
which is the place you are most likely to suffer delays. It is a bit | :27:37. | :27:40. | |
tough on easyJet, I can say in their defence I have flown with them a few | :27:41. | :27:45. | |
times from Bristol recently and we have been early. If you are delayed | :27:46. | :27:52. | |
it seems like the worst thing on earth, but I would guess the overall | :27:53. | :28:01. | |
picture come out of Gatwick, at least, business has been streamlined | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
to such an extreme that they get to the destination airport and have a | :28:07. | :28:09. | |
20 minute turnaround, there is not much slack. If something is going on | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
it can accumulate throughout the day, but overall I think they do an | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
amazing job. Looking back to where we have come from, it is 40 years | :28:19. | :28:22. | |
ago next month that the sky train started in New York, which ushered | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
in the modern era of cheap air travel. People queued for hours and | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
days to get a cheap tickets, now you can pick them from your mobile phone | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
in a few seconds. We might be getting blase and overexcited that | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
we had to wait ten or 15 minutes to get on a plane or whatever. It might | :28:40. | :28:46. | |
feel churlish to complain when we have such cheap flights, but it can | :28:47. | :28:51. | |
be a huge inconvenience if you are travelling and relying on getting to | :28:52. | :28:55. | |
somewhere at a certain time. Who is to blame. You are talking about the | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
tight turnaround and budget airlines, is that the main culprit? | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
The problem is there are so many things potentially that can delay | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
you, how many times have you waited City people stuck in the bar Origi | :29:12. | :29:19. | |
to free shop and then everybody is tearing their hair out. Lots of | :29:20. | :29:23. | |
things can happen in the procedure of flying, but it looks like it is | :29:24. | :29:29. | |
the outline, but it is a whole number of factors. I am always | :29:30. | :29:34. | |
amazed whenever I fly that the plane takes off and you arrive on time, | :29:35. | :29:38. | |
given what could possibly go wrong. In their favour they are doing a | :29:39. | :29:44. | |
pretty good job. It is tough on the budget airlines, you are being | :29:45. | :29:49. | |
saddled with these quite severe costs after paying compensation. I | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
am all in favour of getting compensation, but if it threatens | :29:54. | :29:56. | |
the business model of the budget airline, I think that is quite | :29:57. | :30:00. | |
worrying as well. A lot of things are into the mix, Brexit is another | :30:01. | :30:07. | |
thing, how will that affect airlines, Britain's relationship | :30:08. | :30:10. | |
with the ATC and everything else that goes on through Europe? Thank | :30:11. | :30:13. | |
you for joining us, Frank Barrett. And you can see how long your summer | :30:14. | :30:16. | |
holiday flight could be delayed by. Just go to our website | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
bbc.co.uk/news, enter the airport you're flight | :30:21. | :30:22. | |
from and your destination, and our online calculator will show | :30:23. | :30:24. | |

in the last two years. Still to come, the new Premier | :30:27. | :30:41. | |
League season kicks off tonight, Arsenal take on Leicester City after | :30:42. | :30:46. | |
a summer of big spending. And is back with the new album after a long | :30:47. | :30:51. | |
legal battle with her former producer. | :30:52. | :31:16. | |
James Mattis says the US is still focused on talking. The American | :31:17. | :31:26. | |
effort is diplomatically lead, it has diplomatic traction, it is | :31:27. | :31:29. | |
gaining diplomatic results and I want to stay right there right now, | :31:30. | :31:34. | |
the tragedy of war is well enough known, it does not need another | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
characterisation beyond the fact it would be catastrophic. Lets see what | :31:41. | :31:44. | |
he does with Glam. He does something in | :31:45. | :32:03. | |
The UK may continue to face the threat of Islamist terrorism | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
for another "20 to 30 years" , that's the warning from the former | :32:07. | :32:09. | |
In an interview with the BBC's Today programme, Lord Evans went | :32:10. | :32:13. | |
onto to describe the issue as a "generational problem" | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
and that the UK needed to "persevere" with efforts | :32:16. | :32:17. | |
My guess is that we will still be dealing with the long tail | :32:18. | :32:26. | |
I think this is genuinely a generational problem. | :32:27. | :32:29. | |
I think that we are going to be facing 20 or 30 years | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
of terrorist threats, and therefore we need absolutely | :32:33. | :32:34. | |
Firefighters have closed Oxford Circus Underground station | :32:35. | :32:37. | |

London Fire Brigade confirmed that they were at the station | :32:41. | :32:46. | |
the London Ambulance Service is safe four people were treated at the | :32:47. | :32:54. | |
scene for smoke inhalation. The fire is not currently being treated by | :32:55. | :32:55. | |
police as suspicious. Donations made to the victims | :32:56. | :32:58. | |
of the Grenfell Tower fire are not reaching survivors quickly enough, | :32:59. | :33:01. | |
according to campaigners Figures from the Charity Commission | :33:02. | :33:03. | |
show that less than 15% of the ?18.9 million raised has | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
been given to people affected, almost two | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
months after the tragedy - but it says that early difficulties | :33:10. | :33:12. | |
in identifying and contacting those Passengers flying from Gatwick | :33:13. | :33:27. | |
during the last two Summers experienced the longest average | :33:28. | :33:29. | |
delays according to flight data analysed by the BBC. Among the ten | :33:30. | :33:36. | |
biggest airlines EasyJet Travelers suffered the worst hold-ups with an | :33:37. | :33:40. | |
average delay of 24 minutes, both the airport and the airline say many | :33:41. | :33:43. | |
of the problems were beyond their control. That is a summary of the | :33:44. | :33:50. | |
latest BBC News, join me at 11 o'clock for BBC newsroom life. | :33:51. | :33:55. | |
Sports. Busy morning session under way, we | :33:56. | :34:06. | |
have just had the 100 metres heats of the men's decathlon, it was not | :34:07. | :34:12. | |
to be a fairy tale ending for Isaac Makwala in the 200 metre final last | :34:13. | :34:16. | |
night after an incredible few days he could only finish sixth. It was | :34:17. | :34:23. | |
Ramil Guliyev taking gold ahead of the champion at 400 metres and the | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
favourite, Wayde van Niekerk. What a year it has been for Dina | :34:30. | :34:34. | |
Asher-Smith, after breaking her food just six months ago she ran a season | :34:35. | :34:38. | |
's best to make the final of the women's 200 metres. Britain only has | :34:39. | :34:43. | |
one medal so far from a target of 6-8 but there could be a podium | :34:44. | :34:50. | |
finish in the long jump final. And away from the athletics Rory McIlroy | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
said the course played tricky after his opening round at the USPGA | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
championship in North he dropped three shots to finish the day five | :34:59. | :35:04. | |
shots behind the leaders Thorbjorn Olesen and Kevin Kisner. | :35:05. | :35:10. | |
The new Premier League season gets under way tonight, | :35:11. | :35:12. | |
with Arsenal taking on Leicester at the Emirates Stadium | :35:13. | :35:14. | |
It's been another summer of huge spending in the transfer market. | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
Let's take you through a few of the big money buys | :35:20. | :35:22. | |
Manchester United signed the striker Romelu Lukaku | :35:23. | :35:25. | |
Alvaro Morata went from Real Madrid to Chelsea for ?60 million. | :35:26. | :35:34. | |
And Alexandre Lacazette arrived at Arsenal for ?52 million from Lyon. | :35:35. | :35:39. | |
That doesn't even take into account the top spending club - | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
Manchester City - who've dished out a whopping ?212 million pounds | :35:44. | :35:46. | |
on players, and the transfer window hasn't even closed yet! | :35:47. | :35:48. | |
So will the money make any difference to the | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
And away from the biggest spenders there are two clubs who've never | :35:52. | :35:55. | |
Brighton and Huddersfield Town are the newcomers to the league, | :35:56. | :36:00. | |
To discuss all of this and more Pat Nevin, the former | :36:01. | :36:07. | |
Chelsea player and pundit, Rory Smith, who writes | :36:08. | :36:09. | |
for the New York Times, Akhil Vyas from the Arsenal Supporters Trust | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
and Paul Hollas, a Huddersfield Town fan who's got tickets to the game | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
Thank you all very much for joining asked, Paul we will start with you | :36:17. | :36:29. | |
because it is a big deal. Echoes, the biggest season for the club in | :36:30. | :36:36. | |
probably 40 years, 50 years. We have done, we have got no expectations, a | :36:37. | :36:42. | |
lot of pundits have us as relegation fodder and that puts no pressure on | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
us, we have got no limits, we will go and have a go. A comfortable | :36:47. | :36:53. | |
position to be in but you must be thinking, Leicester City? We had the | :36:54. | :36:57. | |
same thing last year, we were tipped to be relegated, we had one of the | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
smallest budgets in the championship but still got promoted. We will do | :37:02. | :37:05. | |
what we can, we are not there to make up the numbers. Who ever anyone | :37:06. | :37:11. | |
supports we love it when the underdog does well so we wish you | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
the best. Pat Nevin, huge amount of money spent on transverse, has it | :37:17. | :37:21. | |
got out of hand? We have been saying this for 20 years maybe more. The | :37:22. | :37:28. | |
money does look a bit stupid, there is no moral argument and I would not | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
make one but it is a market and at the moment the market seems oddly | :37:33. | :37:35. | |
enough to be working because so much money is coming in from the | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
broadcast rights and advertising, coming to the door as well but that | :37:40. | :37:46. | |
appears to be much less of a part of it. I cannot see any obvious | :37:47. | :37:50. | |
stalling of the money, it might do one day but they are a big sums of | :37:51. | :37:56. | |
money, some of the headlines I don't agree with necessarily. Huge sums | :37:57. | :38:02. | |
spent by one club, look at the net spending, they are getting money in | :38:03. | :38:08. | |
from sales, well over ?1 billion spent by Premier League clubs but | :38:09. | :38:12. | |
when you look at the net figure it is less than half of that. Having | :38:13. | :38:19. | |
said that it is still a lot. Is the quality of football getting better? | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
Not necessarily. I think it will be a bit better this season because the | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
top teams were in transition last season, Manchester City, and even | :38:29. | :38:34. | |
though Chelsea won the league they did not have Champions League to put | :38:35. | :38:38. | |
them off, teams like Manchester United are much closer to the place | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
they want to be. Does not seem stylish to say at the moment but I | :38:44. | :38:48. | |
am looking forward to it and it will be exciting. Rory what do you think | :38:49. | :38:54. | |
as we head into the new season? I tend to agree with Pat at the moment | :38:55. | :38:59. | |
you have the top six who will be slightly better on the broad look | :39:00. | :39:05. | |
because of the players they have signs and then you have the | :39:06. | :39:08. | |
remaining, Everton in a league of their own and then the remaining 13 | :39:09. | :39:12. | |
clubs who are trying to survive relegation, Huddersfield, I don't | :39:13. | :39:18. | |
think they should look at it with any great trepidation because there | :39:19. | :39:20. | |
are a lot of teams in the Premier League who are not exactly world | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
beaters. What we have seen this summer is they are paying huge sums | :39:25. | :39:28. | |
of money, inflated sums of money for the same players they would have | :39:29. | :39:32. | |
signed two years ago, three years ago, the quality is is less but I | :39:33. | :39:38. | |
think it'll be more exciting the last two or three. What have | :39:39. | :39:45. | |
Huddersfield spent on players? I think about 40 million so far. And | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
some might become more valuable during the course of the season? | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
Absolutely, put it in context, last season our biggest outlay was 1.8 | :39:57. | :40:00. | |
million so we broke our transfer record four times in the summer | :40:01. | :40:05. | |
window which is good. You are an Arsenal fan so you are used to these | :40:06. | :40:13. | |
big figures. More than Huddersfield Broadway, yeah. How are you feeling | :40:14. | :40:20. | |
going into the season? Interesting, we started well, signing a left back | :40:21. | :40:23. | |
and a centre forward, we have kept our best players at the moment, | :40:24. | :40:29. | |
Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil. If we can start well we have got three | :40:30. | :40:33. | |
tough games, the window closes and our best players are still here then | :40:34. | :40:37. | |
we can be optimistic. When you go into a new season you have to be | :40:38. | :40:43. | |
optimistic. A lot happened at Arsenal last season, I think it is | :40:44. | :40:49. | |
time for fans to get behind the team and keeping our best players is the | :40:50. | :40:54. | |
key for me. What do you think about the huge sums of money being spent | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
on football and players Pat there never seems to be a backlash? There | :41:00. | :41:07. | |
are some, there will be a moral backlash in certain places. It | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
depends what hat I am wearing when I am having the discussion, as former | :41:11. | :41:16. | |
chairman of the PFA if there is huge money, that is the workers doing the | :41:17. | :41:23. | |
work, but I don't think there is a great moral justification to say | :41:24. | :41:26. | |
someone should be paid these horrendous sums of money. However it | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
is a market and if you are willing to live in a market, my background | :41:31. | :41:34. | |
is economic same way so I would say that. But what it's bringing into | :41:35. | :41:40. | |
the country, what it is selling, how this league sells around the world, | :41:41. | :41:44. | |
I sound as if I am a promoter for the Premier League when I am not for | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
a lot of the time because there are weaknesses but looking at the model | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
I have to say 15 years ago I would be telling you everything has ups | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
and downs. Yet the property market or the economy, football must have | :41:59. | :42:02. | |
that as well. When you look at the players and the amount of money some | :42:03. | :42:07. | |
of them get, even graduate, do you think they are worth it, do you | :42:08. | :42:11. | |
think, what do you think it does to players on the pitch? I'm not sure | :42:12. | :42:17. | |
what it does to them on the pitch but do we begrudge it? For example | :42:18. | :42:22. | |
at Arsenal, media reports telling us Alexis Sanchez once double his | :42:23. | :42:28. | |
wages, the moral side you would think is anybody worth that but at | :42:29. | :42:30. | |
the same time Arsenal need Alexis Sanchez to play for the club. We | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
accept that as fans, if it's the money he wants its the money we will | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
have to pay him. We are in a bit of a situation where we cannot have | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
morals because we want our clubs to win. What do you think Paul? It is a | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
lot of money, I am from up north and there is not a lot of money up north | :42:53. | :42:55. | |
in a lot of areas but at the same token they are top of their | :42:56. | :42:59. | |
profession and lots of other professions earn top money. People | :43:00. | :43:01. | |
pay what they are worth but the pressure is on them to perform. And | :43:02. | :43:08. | |
they do not always and when they do not people say particularly in the | :43:09. | :43:13. | |
national context questions asked if they are hungry enough. I think | :43:14. | :43:17. | |
that's a great question and it's one of the difficulties you have with | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
younger players coming through, if you are making them comfortable for | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
life when they are 90 years of age, you say stay hungry but that easy, | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
when you have everything you want, the car and the life you want, and | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
everyone is telling you you are the best in the world, you are the bee's | :43:34. | :43:40. | |
knees, you take that into your head and it's hard to take yourself back | :43:41. | :43:44. | |
out to normality. When I was playing the game I saw it myself but the | :43:45. | :43:49. | |
good ones have the talent and the right psychology, they keep moving | :43:50. | :43:55. | |
on, and end up being the best because if you iron ?150,000 a week | :43:56. | :44:00. | |
you have probably had to be hungry to get there. Great to talk to you | :44:01. | :44:06. | |
all, thank you. Get in touch with your thoughts in the usual ways. | :44:07. | :44:08. | |
It's just over a month since six-year-old Bradley Lowery | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
died after battling a rare form of cancer. | :44:12. | :44:13. | |
The Sunderland fan won a legion of supporters across the country, | :44:14. | :44:16. | |
Now, in his first interview since Bradley's death, | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
Jermain told the BBC how he's been inspired by his "best mate". | :44:20. | :44:27. | |
They were best friends and it was a friendship | :44:28. | :44:29. | |
which captured the hearts of everyone. | :44:30. | :44:30. | |
I have a nice picture in the house of me and Bradley | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
He loved me, I loved him and after seeing his eyes, | :44:34. | :44:56. | |
it was genuine because he was a child. | :44:57. | :44:58. | |
There was nothing I could give him apart from just being a friend. | :44:59. | :45:06. | |
Even towards the end, when he was really struggling | :45:07. | :45:11. | |
and he couldn't really move, I would walk into the room | :45:12. | :45:16. | |
and he would just jump up and his mum said, | :45:17. | :45:19. | |
"He hasn't moved all day," so yeah, it was a special feeling. | :45:20. | :45:24. | |
The emotion is still raw but the impact the little boy has | :45:25. | :45:27. | |
The Bournemouth striker says it is a gift and he will | :45:28. | :45:32. | |
I always wake up thinking, you know, if you don't feel well, | :45:33. | :45:41. | |
Because I can see little kids suffer like that and still fight, | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
to me, there is no bigger motivation. | :45:47. | :45:50. | |
If he could go through that and fight. | :45:51. | :45:58. | |
You walked out with him so many times. | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
But was that England moment the best? | :46:03. | :46:05. | |
I came down the tunnel, gave him a cuddle. | :46:06. | :46:12. | |
Joe Hart said to me, you walk the team out. | :46:13. | :46:16. | |
For him to do that, that was special. | :46:17. | :46:18. | |
And we walked out, standing there, singing the national anthem. | :46:19. | :46:24. | |
Being involved in the squad and actually playing, and scoring... | :46:25. | :46:31. | |
For me, it's one of the best moments of my career. | :46:32. | :46:37. | |
You can see the whole of Juliette Ferrington's | :46:38. | :46:39. | |
interview with Jermain Defoe on Football Focus | :46:40. | :46:41. | |
We are in the middle of the school holidays, which means a chance to | :46:42. | :46:53. | |
rest, recuperate and have fun with friends and family for many. But for | :46:54. | :46:59. | |
the children who escaped the Grenfell tower fire, summer has | :47:00. | :47:04. | |
brought shock. Around 600 children from the Grenfell Tower | :47:05. | :47:06. | |
neighbourhood have been referred to mental health services in the | :47:07. | :47:10. | |
aftermath of the fire. Just how well are these children coping? Ashley | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
Jean-Baptiste Dubie with 112-year-old survivor, and his | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
adoptive grandmother. They went swimming at the leisure centre close | :47:22. | :47:22. | |
to their former home. He lived on the first | :47:23. | :47:32. | |
floor of Grenfell Tower with his adoptive grandmother, | :47:33. | :47:37. | |
Rumayatu Mamudu. They escaped the tower | :47:38. | :47:45. | |
during the night of the fire, and eight weeks on, Tyrshondre has | :47:46. | :47:48. | |
broken up from school It's the summer holiday, | :47:49. | :47:50. | |
how's it going? Does it at all feel different not | :47:51. | :47:53. | |
being at the home you're used to? Can you tell me what toys | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
you lost in the fire? My piano, my Wii Fit Plus, | :48:00. | :48:03. | |
my Wii console, everything. What do you miss | :48:04. | :48:07. | |
about your old home? It's been eight weeks | :48:08. | :48:10. | |
since you lost your home. To tell you the truth, | :48:11. | :48:28. | |
I think things are getting worse. If we had a little bit | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
of attention as survivors, we would now be getting | :48:35. | :48:37. | |
ready for closure. We have support from the society, | :48:38. | :48:47. | |
from the charity organisation, If only the government would do | :48:48. | :48:53. | |
their best to give us a roof. He wakes up in the night, | :48:54. | :48:58. | |
he's afraid there might be a fire. So the fear is still in him, | :48:59. | :49:07. | |
until we have a place Does it feel like the normal | :49:08. | :49:17. | |
summer holiday for you? No, it can never feel | :49:18. | :49:22. | |
like a normal summer holiday. I have been offered to go | :49:23. | :49:28. | |
on holiday, but how could you go on holiday when you are not sure | :49:29. | :49:32. | |
what you are coming back to? Have you got used to living | :49:33. | :49:42. | |
in a hotel with your grandson? A hotel is supposed to be temporary | :49:43. | :49:47. | |
accommodation for travellers. I was offered a place two weeks ago, | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
outside my borough. I've spent 46 years of my | :49:51. | :49:58. | |
life in this borough. My five children were born | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
in this borough, they went So I don't see why I should be | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
moved out of my borough. How are you making sure | :50:07. | :50:14. | |
that your grandson's OK? Well, I tried to see some | :50:15. | :50:33. | |
consultants, to talk to them, Is it getting tiring having | :50:34. | :50:35. | |
these chats and feeling Everything done repeatedly | :50:36. | :50:42. | |
without any result is boring. But to go back to that | :50:43. | :50:49. | |
same hotel, I just feel sick going there every | :50:50. | :50:51. | |
day, every day... Are you looking forward | :50:52. | :50:54. | |
to going back to school? We are alive, which is most | :50:55. | :51:10. | |
important, and we have We will try our best | :51:11. | :51:23. | |
to look after one another. Tyrshondre and his grandmother | :51:24. | :51:57. | |
talking to Ashley. This week and will's fastest man Usain Bolt takes | :51:58. | :52:00. | |
part in his final competitive race at the world athletics Championships | :52:01. | :52:05. | |
in London before retiring. During his career the sprinter has won | :52:06. | :52:08. | |
eight Olympic gold medal 's and holds a 100 and 200 metre world | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
records. Earlier I spoke to Ben Bloom of the Telegraph, 13-year-old | :52:14. | :52:17. | |
via red, a Usain Bolt van, along with her father, and the three-time | :52:18. | :52:22. | |
Olympic medallist sprinter Kriss Akabusi, who explained what kind of | :52:23. | :52:28. | |
legacy Bolt will be. He is an icon of the sport, ranked alongside | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
Moses, Lord Coe, Daley Thompson, Michael Johnson, Bubka. These guys | :52:35. | :52:43. | |
are icons of the sport. Usain is the icon of his day and has surpassed | :52:44. | :52:47. | |
some of those guys, inasmuch as he has won three Olympic golds in track | :52:48. | :52:53. | |
and field events, phenomenal. Vera, you have been inspired by Usain | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
Bolt. What was it and when did it happen? I first saw him when he beat | :53:00. | :53:03. | |
the world record in 2008, I could see it was through hard work and | :53:04. | :53:07. | |
determination that he put in to get where he is today, to be the fastest | :53:08. | :53:10. | |
man. What impact has it had on you? It has | :53:11. | :53:24. | |
taught me to work harder, I could always come back stronger if I | :53:25. | :53:27. | |
worked harder for the next race. What are you doing in athletics? 200 | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
metres, it is going well so far. It is always nice when a child has a | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
role model to look up to that can help to propel them forward? Of | :53:34. | :53:40. | |
course. My family have a lot of interest in sports, and is glad that | :53:41. | :53:44. | |
it is always their duty and obligation to support them in any | :53:45. | :53:51. | |
form -- always my duty and obligation. Taking them from one | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
place to another, financially and otherwise. Ben, he is an athlete who | :53:56. | :54:00. | |
does not seem to have put a foot wrong, people love him and he has | :54:01. | :54:06. | |
performed amazingly? People do, I would take it a step forward than | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
what Chris said, he named some of the greats that athletics has had | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
over the years, they are big within the sport and somewhat transcend the | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
sport, athletics has never had anyone like Usain Bolt before he was | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
bigger than the sport. You can say the name Bolt anywhere in the world | :54:24. | :54:28. | |
and they will know who this man is. Jason has said inspiring is a term | :54:29. | :54:33. | |
used lightly, Usain Bolt has set the world alight and inspired millions, | :54:34. | :54:38. | |
myself included. Steve said my family is by me, I | :54:39. | :54:43. | |
don't need sporting people for inspiration, the UK make too much of | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
a deal about sportspeople. Taylor Swift appeared in court | :54:49. | :54:51. | |
yesterday to testify against a DJ she said put his hand up her skirt | :54:52. | :54:55. | |
and grabbed her backside. She has asked for a symbolic $1 in damages, | :54:56. | :55:00. | |
our entertainment reporter Chi Chi Izundu is here with more. What is | :55:01. | :55:05. | |
she claiming? This is quite complicated, initially this happened | :55:06. | :55:11. | |
back in 2013 and the DJ actually sued Taylor Swift because of the | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
allegation. She has since countersued him. She claims that | :55:16. | :55:21. | |
they were taking a picture backstage at one of her concerts and he put | :55:22. | :55:26. | |
his hand behind her skirt and grabbed her backside. In court she | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
basically said it was a definite grabber, a very long grab, it was | :55:31. | :55:35. | |
intentional, he latched onto her backside. David Mueller, the DJ | :55:36. | :55:41. | |
being accused of doing this, told the court that he may have made an | :55:42. | :55:48. | |
innocent physical contact like brushing her arm or torso but he has | :55:49. | :55:55. | |
denied any inappropriate behaviour. Taylor said security had seen him | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
actually grab her backside and lift my skirt but only a person on the | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
floor looking up my skirt would have seen the fallout, and of course we | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
did not have someone in that position. Her testimony was very | :56:10. | :56:15. | |
direct. Is there any evidence to back up? This whole court case hangs | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
on a picture, and the picture is what is being used as Taylor Swift's | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
evidence. Her mum gave testimony, her mum as part of her management | :56:25. | :56:28. | |
team, she said because it happened and what they call a meeting greed, | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
where artists meet and greet fans after a concert, she said they have | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
made that much smaller, they have added metal detectors, note the use | :56:39. | :56:41. | |
metal wants to one's people when they come in and they do background | :56:42. | :56:51. | |
checks on people before Taylor meets any fans, she said it totally | :56:52. | :56:53. | |
absolutely shattered their trust. Mueller's lawyer told Taylor Swift | :56:54. | :56:59. | |
at one point why could she not reported when it happened? Taylor | :57:00. | :57:03. | |
Swift said your clients could have taken a normal picture with me | :57:04. | :57:06. | |
instead of her having to reported. She said she did not at the time | :57:07. | :57:10. | |
because she had other fans to meet and did not want to disappoint them, | :57:11. | :57:15. | |
but two days later Mueller was fired from his $150,000 a year job after | :57:16. | :57:27. | |
she reported it, that is when she took the counteraction. She wants to | :57:28. | :57:31. | |
highlight it is not OK. During her testimony yesterday she said to his | :57:32. | :57:35. | |
lawyer I will not allow you or your client to make me feel in any way | :57:36. | :57:40. | |
that it is my fault. She wants to highlight it is an issue that | :57:41. | :57:43. | |
happens to women all around the world and it is not OK. She is | :57:44. | :57:50. | |
asking for just a dollar. Thank you for dating is. Oxford Circus tube | :57:51. | :57:56. | |
station has reopened, it was temporarily closed earlier after | :57:57. | :57:59. | |
there was smoke on a bacon blue line train at Oxford Circus. We have had | :58:00. | :58:04. | |
pictures coming through social media and we spoke to one of the | :58:05. | :58:08. | |
passengers who saw the smoke in the carriage. It is not clear what | :58:09. | :58:12. | |
caused the smoke to be there but four people were treated for smoke | :58:13. | :58:18. | |
inhalation and it has not been treated as suspicious. Thank you for | :58:19. | :58:22. | |
your company today, I will be here every day next week, in the meantime | :58:23. | :58:26. | |
have a lovely afternoon and a good weekend. Goodbye. | :58:27. | :58:42. | |
Good morning. Looking pretty nice at the moment across the south-east of | :58:43. | :58:46. | |
England, but for | :58:47. | :58:48. |
