0:00:07 > 0:00:10Hello it's Wednesday November 23rd, it's 9 o'clock,

0:00:10 > 0:00:17I'm Victoria Derbyshire, welcome to the programme.

0:00:17 > 0:00:23Common-sense budget, according Conservative MPs.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25But with a gloomy outlook for the economy will

0:00:25 > 0:00:27the Government's spending plans be overshadowed by a squeeze

0:00:27 > 0:00:28on family incomes?

0:00:28 > 0:00:32And just got in on with the job I'm doing which is to steer the economy

0:00:32 > 0:00:36through this period, prepared it for growth in Britain's post-Brexit

0:00:36 > 0:00:43future.

0:00:43 > 0:00:46I am worried that the government seems to have learned no lessons

0:00:46 > 0:00:51from what the OBR are saying about this failure to invest and the

0:00:51 > 0:00:55failure to tackle our productivity crisis.Has the Chancellor done

0:00:55 > 0:00:59enough, we'll talk to a panel of MPs. Also today.

0:00:59 > 0:01:01We'll hear exclusively from a young man from Middlesborough who

0:01:01 > 0:01:06who asked a judge to send him to prison because he was homeless.

0:01:06 > 0:01:09Most of the time I was on the street, slipping in places like

0:01:09 > 0:01:17this. I was used to it. -- sleeping in places like this.Will talk to

0:01:17 > 0:01:20Bradley Grimes, 23, in the next hour.

0:01:20 > 0:01:23And the Ashes - one of sport's greatest rivalries -

0:01:23 > 0:01:24is under way in Australia.

0:01:24 > 0:01:27It's been a topsy turvy opening day - England grateful for their top

0:01:27 > 0:01:29scorer James Vince, who looked to be on his way

0:01:29 > 0:01:37to scoring a century, before being spectacularly run out.

0:01:37 > 0:01:40We will speak to England and Australian fans just before ten

0:01:40 > 0:01:46o'clock.

0:01:46 > 0:01:50Good morning, welcome to the programme, we are live until 11

0:01:50 > 0:02:05o'clock as we are easily today. -- as we are each weekday.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Let us know what you think of the Chancellor's budget yesterday

0:02:14 > 0:02:17and how you think it might affect you.

0:02:17 > 0:02:18Plus, Scottish Labour politician

0:02:18 > 0:02:20Kezia Dugdale arrives in the jungle, but should be appearing in

0:02:20 > 0:02:24I'm A Celebrity in the first place?

0:02:24 > 0:02:27She is a member of the Scottish parliament, she was the leader

0:02:27 > 0:02:28of Labour in Scotland until she stepped down

0:02:28 > 0:02:29earlier this year.

0:02:29 > 0:02:33Is it okay for her to take 3 weeks leave and appear in I'm

0:02:33 > 0:02:34a Celeb down under?

0:02:34 > 0:02:37She argues she can cut straight through and talk directly to the TV

0:02:37 > 0:02:39audience about politics - that's if the producers decided

0:02:39 > 0:02:40to keep those conversations in.

0:02:40 > 0:02:43She's says she's donating some of her fee to charity,

0:02:43 > 0:02:45as well as her wages for those 3 weeks to charity.

0:02:45 > 0:02:49Should she be there at all, is it a good idea? Let me know. Use the

0:02:49 > 0:02:55hashtag Victoria Live. The Chancellor 's colleagues have

0:02:55 > 0:03:02rallied around him as he presented the budget, some of it overshadowed

0:03:02 > 0:03:07by forecasts for gloomier than expected economic growth from the

0:03:07 > 0:03:11Office for Budget Responsibility. The Chancellor says productivity is

0:03:11 > 0:03:16key.The challenge is to deliver higher productivity that will lead

0:03:16 > 0:03:22to higher economic growth. Is about the workforce with more skills,

0:03:22 > 0:03:25investing capital in our businesses, building will infrastructure, more

0:03:25 > 0:03:28infrastructure, more roads, more railways and it is about ensuring

0:03:28 > 0:03:33that we have business confidence so that businesses will invest. That

0:03:33 > 0:03:36means getting more certainty about what our future relationship with

0:03:36 > 0:03:42the EU will look like, which we hope we will be able to do soon, it means

0:03:42 > 0:03:46getting consumers feeling more confident about the future so they

0:03:46 > 0:03:50spend, all of these things we need to do over the coming months and

0:03:50 > 0:03:53years, and get those forecasts upgraded again. That's the challenge

0:03:53 > 0:03:56ahead of us.

0:03:56 > 0:03:58Meanwhile Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell says the best way

0:03:58 > 0:04:03to improve productivity is to make sure you have a skilled workforce.

0:04:03 > 0:04:06Cuts in education is the last thing you do when you want to raise

0:04:06 > 0:04:11people's skills and tackle the productivity crisis. What I would do

0:04:11 > 0:04:15immediately and that's what we put out in our manifesto programme, is

0:04:15 > 0:04:20start that investment off. But bring together a new investment board with

0:04:20 > 0:04:24the Bank of England, the Treasury, trade union leaders, business

0:04:24 > 0:04:27leaders investing in the putative economy, rather than property

0:04:27 > 0:04:31speculation that has gone on and this government. That would have

0:04:31 > 0:04:35quick returns as well because immediately you are putting people

0:04:35 > 0:04:39back to work, immediately then they are paying taxes, which will enable

0:04:39 > 0:04:43us to have a fair tax system which will pay for our public services. I

0:04:43 > 0:04:46am really worried now that the government doesn't seem to have

0:04:46 > 0:04:50learned any lessons from what the OBR and others are saying about this

0:04:50 > 0:04:53failure to invest and therefore failure to tackle our productivity

0:04:53 > 0:04:56crisis.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59Our Political Guru Norman Smith is in Westminster for us this morning.

0:04:59 > 0:05:04Has Philip Hammond done enough to save his job?We will all have to

0:05:04 > 0:05:13rethink our views on him because week or thought of him as Phillip

0:05:13 > 0:05:17the dull, spreadsheet Phil, and there he was joking about Michael

0:05:17 > 0:05:21Gove and we had that cough sweet stunt with Mrs May, and in terms of

0:05:21 > 0:05:25the real pressure he was under he seemed to go around picking of all

0:05:25 > 0:05:29the difficulties that he and the Tories were facing, putting on a bit

0:05:29 > 0:05:33more money here and a bit more money there so the image is boss has said,

0:05:33 > 0:05:38I need £4 billion and he says, here is £2.8 billion, that will help you

0:05:38 > 0:05:43along. We knew there was a looming revolt of the Universal Credit so

0:05:43 > 0:05:48out of his back pocket there's another £1.5 million to ease some of

0:05:48 > 0:05:52the problems. Brexiteers throwing bread rolls at him, he says nice

0:05:52 > 0:05:57things about Brexit and offers them £2 billion to help smooth passage,

0:05:57 > 0:06:01business community, they weren't happy about changes to business

0:06:01 > 0:06:05rates and VAT, sorted. He listens to them. And everywhere, there have

0:06:05 > 0:06:12been a real revolt. He found a way of just taking the heat out of it

0:06:12 > 0:06:18with a bit more cash. And I think, not just easing the pressure on him,

0:06:18 > 0:06:23but also buying the government some breathing space.Labour say that

0:06:23 > 0:06:29Britain is still facing years of austerity. Are they right.They are

0:06:29 > 0:06:33right in the sense that what we learned yesterday is that as a

0:06:33 > 0:06:39country we are going to have to get used to the fact that the pressure

0:06:39 > 0:06:43on our living standards, on wages, on public services, is going to go

0:06:43 > 0:06:47on for an awful lot longer. The reason is that we are just not as

0:06:47 > 0:06:53productive as we used to be. There will be a lot of political finger

0:06:53 > 0:06:57pointing about who is to blame for this. But it seems to me there are

0:06:57 > 0:07:02profound changes going on which any politician will struggle with. So

0:07:02 > 0:07:07the OBR say that one of the difficulties is immigration. Because

0:07:07 > 0:07:12there will be a steep fall in the number of migrants coming into the

0:07:12 > 0:07:15UK, especially brighter, younger, more skills, more intelligent

0:07:15 > 0:07:22migrants from the EU that is going to hit production. At the same time

0:07:22 > 0:07:26we're all getting older, we becoming an ageing population which means we

0:07:26 > 0:07:31will cost more in terms of the health service and benefits. And

0:07:31 > 0:07:35those of us working, we are already working longer, doing two or three

0:07:35 > 0:07:39jobs to make up for the squeeze on living standards. Which makes it

0:07:39 > 0:07:44harder to be more productive. So the long-term picture is a pretty

0:07:44 > 0:07:48sobering one. But I kind of think it would face whoever is in power. We

0:07:48 > 0:07:55face an era when we might just have to tone down our expectations and

0:07:55 > 0:08:04the prospects for our living standards.Thank you, Norman. At

0:08:04 > 0:08:0711:30am on the BBC News channel we will put your budget questions to a

0:08:07 > 0:08:10panel of experts.

0:08:23 > 0:08:27they will have the answer for you. Let's bring you the rest of the

0:08:27 > 0:08:28morning 's news.

0:08:28 > 0:08:30Annita is in the BBC Newsroom with a summary

0:08:30 > 0:08:33of the rest of the day's news.

0:08:33 > 0:08:36Thank you Victoria, good morning.

0:08:36 > 0:08:38The new leader of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa has urged

0:08:38 > 0:08:39the country to unite.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41In a speech to a cheering crowd he praised

0:08:41 > 0:08:43the army for removing President Robert Mugabe peacefully.

0:08:43 > 0:08:46Mr Mnangagwa, who will be sworn in as president tomorrow,

0:08:46 > 0:08:48said Zimbabwe was experiencing a new democracy - and his priority

0:08:48 > 0:08:51was to rebuild its economy.

0:08:51 > 0:08:54The Argentine navy is investigating reports of a sound heard a few hours

0:08:54 > 0:08:57after it lost contact with one of its submarines a week ago

0:08:57 > 0:08:58in the south Atlantic.

0:08:58 > 0:09:01There are concerns that the 44 crew on board

0:09:01 > 0:09:08the San Juan submarine could be running low on oxygen.

0:09:08 > 0:09:11An RAF aircraft has landed in Argentina to help with the search.

0:09:11 > 0:09:14A former doctor for the US gymnastics team has pleaded guilty

0:09:14 > 0:09:17to sexual assaults against women and girls in his care.

0:09:17 > 0:09:19Lawrence Nassar was accused of molesting dozens

0:09:19 > 0:09:21of female athletes - including three Olympic

0:09:21 > 0:09:23gold medallists - while he was working for both

0:09:23 > 0:09:28the national team and a university.

0:09:28 > 0:09:30More than 70 people had to be rescued overnight

0:09:30 > 0:09:35after flooding across Lancashire.

0:09:35 > 0:09:37People in Lancaster and Morecambe were among those affected.

0:09:37 > 0:09:40The fire service said it received more than 400 calls and helped

0:09:40 > 0:09:43evacuate 20 horses that had become trapped.

0:09:43 > 0:09:45There are currently 13 flood warnings in place across Lancashire

0:09:45 > 0:09:51and neighbouring Cumbria.

0:09:51 > 0:09:53One resident told us how her home was affected.

0:09:53 > 0:09:55Went to work today, thought little of it,

0:09:55 > 0:09:57came home and thought, right, it's pretty high,

0:09:57 > 0:09:59it's still going to keep on raining all night,

0:09:59 > 0:10:01we had better start moving some stuff out of the way.

0:10:01 > 0:10:05And it just came in faster and faster and faster and there came

0:10:05 > 0:10:08a point where we were bucketing it out, bailing it out.

0:10:08 > 0:10:09We had pumps going.

0:10:09 > 0:10:13It came a point where it was bucket versus river and the river won.

0:10:13 > 0:10:15New research suggests that drinking a moderate amount of coffee

0:10:15 > 0:10:22is unlikely to be harmful to health, except for pregnant women.

0:10:22 > 0:10:24The study, published in the British Medical Journal,

0:10:24 > 0:10:27found coffee drinkers had a lower risk of liver disease and some

0:10:27 > 0:10:29cancers, and a lower risk of dying from stroke -

0:10:29 > 0:10:31but researchers could not prove coffee was the cause.

0:10:31 > 0:10:39Helen Briggs reports.

0:10:39 > 0:10:44A morning caffeine fix.

0:10:44 > 0:10:48For many of us, the only way to start the day.

0:10:48 > 0:10:51But it has long been debated whether that cup of coffee is good

0:10:51 > 0:10:52or bad for you.

0:10:52 > 0:10:55I think any more than two cups of coffee kind of accelerates

0:10:55 > 0:10:58the stress a bit more so I draw the line at two.

0:10:58 > 0:11:01I feel like most things are good in moderation and if you drink

0:11:01 > 0:11:03good coffee, then it should be good for your health.

0:11:03 > 0:11:06To try to find the answer, doctors at the University

0:11:06 > 0:11:07of Southampton sifted through 200 studies,

0:11:07 > 0:11:09looking at how coffee affects the body.

0:11:09 > 0:11:13They say the benefits of drinking 3-4 cups a day

0:11:13 > 0:11:16outweigh the risks for most people and could lead to a lower likelihood

0:11:16 > 0:11:18of developing heart disease, diabetes and some cancers.

0:11:18 > 0:11:22Although pregnant women and those at risk of fractures

0:11:22 > 0:11:32are still advised to steer clear.

0:11:40 > 0:11:44Is an important message our findings is that people only drinking a

0:11:44 > 0:11:51couple of cups a day, but we don't think that people who don't drink

0:11:51 > 0:11:54any copy should start nor should people try to reach a certain

0:11:54 > 0:11:57target.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59And researchers say further studies are required before drinking

0:11:59 > 0:12:02coffee to fight disease can be recommended, not least because it's

0:12:02 > 0:12:04often accompanied by cream, sugary syrup or cake.

0:12:04 > 0:12:09Helen Briggs, BBC News.

0:12:09 > 0:12:12Home broadband providers must soon ensure that at least 50%

0:12:12 > 0:12:14of their customers can achieve advertised speeds at peak

0:12:14 > 0:12:16time, under a crackdown to prevent misleading claims.

0:12:16 > 0:12:18At the moment, firms are allowed to advertise

0:12:18 > 0:12:23"up to" speeds as long as they are available to a minimum

0:12:23 > 0:12:24of 10% of customers.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26The Committee of Advertising Practice says it's toughening up

0:12:26 > 0:12:28standards, following research that showed up to three-quarters

0:12:28 > 0:12:30of households are paying for advertised broadband speeds

0:12:30 > 0:12:37they have never received.

0:12:37 > 0:12:38Former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale heads

0:12:38 > 0:12:40in to the jungle tonight.

0:12:40 > 0:12:41She's the latest addition to ITV's I'm

0:12:41 > 0:12:43A Celebrity...Get Me Out Of Here.

0:12:43 > 0:12:48The MSP says she hopes to appeal to young voters.

0:12:48 > 0:12:51But she has admitted some of her political colleagues would be

0:12:51 > 0:12:57shocked and angry at her appearance on the reality TV show.

0:12:57 > 0:13:04That is a summary of the latest BBC News, Moore at 9:30am. Back to your

0:13:04 > 0:13:10Victoria, hope you are enjoying your coffee! I've only had one. Edward

0:13:10 > 0:13:13says Kezia Dugdale should be allowed to take part in I'm A Celebrity Get

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Me Out Of Here, users, she is a great politician in Scotland, I hope

0:13:16 > 0:13:21she wins. She is donating some of her fee to charity. She is donating

0:13:21 > 0:13:26all of her wages for the three weeks's leave that she is taking, to

0:13:26 > 0:13:31charity. She says it is a way to cut through to people, it has been done

0:13:31 > 0:13:35before, Nadine Tories did it when she was a Tory MP, she went into the

0:13:35 > 0:13:41Jungle. George Galloway, Edwina Currie, all sorts of people. Edwina

0:13:41 > 0:13:45Currie wasn't a politician when she did Strictly, was she. Your view

0:13:45 > 0:13:58please. Let's get some sport now. Finally the Ashes Series has begun!

0:13:58 > 0:14:03Yes, the talk is over, the 2017 Ashes and away. The first one was

0:14:03 > 0:14:06difficult to gauge much fun, England hoping to retain the trophy of

0:14:06 > 0:14:11course. They were taking on Australia at a ground where

0:14:11 > 0:14:16Australia haven't been beaten in almost 30 years in a test. England

0:14:16 > 0:14:21won toss and decided to bat. They lost Alastair Cook for only two runs

0:14:21 > 0:14:25but his replacement James Vince did a great job at number three with a

0:14:25 > 0:14:30very classy 83. That was before he was brilliantly run out by Lyon,

0:14:30 > 0:14:36despite that, James Vince says he has answered some of his doubters,

0:14:36 > 0:14:40questions were asked about his form. Mark Stoneman made a half-century.

0:14:40 > 0:14:47Captain Joe Root was trapped LBW for only 15. Dawid Malan also impressed,

0:14:47 > 0:14:53he showed he was confident, scoring a quickfire 28 not out before the

0:14:53 > 0:14:57close, which came with the light fading in Brisbane. Australia

0:14:57 > 0:15:01captain Steve Smith wasn't happy, it was only three deliveries after he'd

0:15:01 > 0:15:07taken it the new ball. England will be content with the first day, they

0:15:07 > 0:15:11are 196-4 after their first innings. Lets get some runs early, conditions

0:15:11 > 0:15:15are bit different to what we expected, but a huge and paycheque

0:15:15 > 0:15:21at the start of the day, onto the bat better as the day went on. --

0:15:21 > 0:15:27not a huge amount of pace in it. I think the money will be crucial if

0:15:27 > 0:15:32we get through the first hour, get towards a big score. They bowled

0:15:32 > 0:15:36pretty well and deserved something from the day. It is a bit

0:15:36 > 0:15:41disappointing, matter what score a batsman gets you always want more.

0:15:41 > 0:15:44It would have been mice at the end of the day but stuff like that

0:15:44 > 0:15:56happens in cricket.

0:15:56 > 0:16:04He didn't take any wickets but only conceded 40 runs, Kevin Pietersen

0:16:04 > 0:16:10said he would have preferred to see him imposing self a little bit more.

0:16:10 > 0:16:14That Fielding was absolutely outstanding. Right, Champions

0:16:14 > 0:16:18League, couple of defeats for British clubs?Yes, more Champions

0:16:18 > 0:16:24League action last night, three more British clubs playing, the

0:16:24 > 0:16:28penultimate set of group games, Manchester United beaten 1-0 in

0:16:28 > 0:16:31Switzerland, despite having the lion's share of play against FC

0:16:31 > 0:16:37Barcelona. They are top of Group A, qualification not secured, the side

0:16:37 > 0:16:42needing a draw from the final group game at home to CSKA Moscow in order

0:16:42 > 0:16:46to reach the knockout stages as the group winners you would still make

0:16:46 > 0:16:53them favoured. They have to be better in front of goal, unlucky.

0:16:53 > 0:16:57Jose Mourinho wasn't pleased, he claimed they could have scored five

0:16:57 > 0:17:01or six goals by half-time, the late winner coming from FC Basel just

0:17:01 > 0:17:08before the end of the game.I think we play a match like this ten times

0:17:08 > 0:17:14and out of we win comfortable, we lose in the other one. The one game

0:17:14 > 0:17:20was now. I can hear a few years ago with Chelsea, we lost in the last

0:17:43 > 0:17:48they face Liverpool on Saturday following this 5000 mile round trip.

0:17:48 > 0:17:53I am sure Celtic would walk 5000 miles to reach the Europa League,

0:17:53 > 0:17:58they took an early lead away to PSG but were dismantled on the night

0:17:58 > 0:18:04losing 7-1. Brendan Rodgers side note a draw in their final game will

0:18:04 > 0:18:08mean they continue in the second tier.Your professional pride is

0:18:08 > 0:18:13hurt and people who don't watch the game, see the score, they think,

0:18:13 > 0:18:187-1, what I can take from the game is there is enough positive momentum

0:18:18 > 0:18:24and we have been together for a period of time and we are realistic

0:18:24 > 0:18:29enough and humble enough when we win, you have to be honest when you

0:18:29 > 0:18:33lose and then you move on to your next game.England are through to

0:18:50 > 0:18:56in the final. That's all your support.We'll be back with more

0:18:56 > 0:19:01later. Thank you. It is 18 minutes past nine. More comments from you

0:19:01 > 0:19:08about whether Kezia Doug dealt should appear in the programme I'm a

0:19:08 > 0:19:11celebrity, you saw her briefly last night, Avril says I think it's a

0:19:11 > 0:19:17disgrace that a current serving MSP should go a wall, she should be back

0:19:17 > 0:19:22in the UK, fighting the cause is. She still being paid from the public

0:19:22 > 0:19:26purse, Scottish Labour Party is to show the bishop in suspending her.

0:19:26 > 0:19:29Ryan says on Twitter when you fail at the day job it's nice to have a

0:19:29 > 0:19:33little earner down under. Let me know your views.

0:19:33 > 0:19:35He's been homeless for most of his adult life, has autism

0:19:35 > 0:19:37and has the mental age of a child.

0:19:37 > 0:19:40Bradley Grimes is a 23-year-old man from Middlesbrough whose situation

0:19:40 > 0:19:43became so desperate, that he stood up in court and asked

0:19:43 > 0:19:51a judge to send him to prison.

0:19:51 > 0:19:54The judge took pity on him and activated a suspended prison

0:19:54 > 0:19:57sentence he'd been given for sleeping in shop doorways

0:19:57 > 0:19:59and a knife offence.

0:19:59 > 0:20:01The judge made sure he had accommodation before

0:20:01 > 0:20:04he was allowed out of jail.

0:20:04 > 0:20:07Bradley Grimes has been given chances before -

0:20:07 > 0:20:11with accommodation and social services - and he's made mistakes.

0:20:11 > 0:20:14But generally, he says he's been let down by the system,

0:20:14 > 0:20:16and the judge agreed.

0:20:16 > 0:20:19We met up with Bradley Grimes just after he was released from prison.

0:20:25 > 0:20:27I've got a brain tumour on my head and suffer

0:20:27 > 0:20:30with epilepsy and heart murmur.

0:20:30 > 0:20:32I've also got autism, Asperger's and the mental

0:20:32 > 0:20:37age of a young child.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43I was in care from the age of ten, 11 years old until

0:20:43 > 0:20:47I was 17 and a half.

0:20:47 > 0:20:53I was straight on the streets when I came out.

0:20:59 > 0:21:03Just around here, this is where I used to sleep, here.

0:21:05 > 0:21:08Most of the night I was on the street, sleeping

0:21:08 > 0:21:11in places like this.

0:21:11 > 0:21:21I got used to it sort of thing.

0:21:23 > 0:21:26I was trying to go to the council and Citizens Advice and other places

0:21:26 > 0:21:30but they kept on sending me from one place to the other and I ended up

0:21:30 > 0:21:34going round in circles through all the different agencies.

0:21:34 > 0:21:38I was using a substantial amount of drugs, yeah,

0:21:38 > 0:21:43just to take my mind off things.

0:22:00 > 0:22:03This is the alleyway where where I used to sit.

0:22:03 > 0:22:06I used to sit in the middle so it was away from the shops.

0:22:06 > 0:22:08Just asking people for money.

0:22:16 > 0:22:18Basically, all they've done is placed an anti-social

0:22:18 > 0:22:21behaviour order on me to try to stop me from begging.

0:22:21 > 0:22:23But I have to in order to survive.

0:22:32 > 0:22:35Yeah, I used to sit down here like this.

0:22:35 > 0:22:36Just sit on the floor here.

0:22:36 > 0:22:39What happened?

0:22:39 > 0:22:42Well, CCTV picks you up and they dispatch either the police

0:22:42 > 0:22:43or the street wardens.

0:22:43 > 0:22:46If the police come, you're arrested.

0:22:46 > 0:22:49It got to the stage where they were locking me up once

0:22:49 > 0:22:53or twice a day for a period of a few months and I was in pretty

0:22:53 > 0:22:55much all weekend nearly enough every weekend.

0:22:55 > 0:22:57For doing what?

0:22:57 > 0:23:01Just for basically sitting outside a shop.

0:23:01 > 0:23:04I can't even sit on a public bench without getting locked up.

0:23:04 > 0:23:08I have to keep moving.

0:23:23 > 0:23:26I just basically went in and asked the judge to send me down

0:23:26 > 0:23:31until they could get appropriate accommodation for me.

0:23:33 > 0:23:39That's the last option I had, what I could think of.

0:23:39 > 0:23:44Even the judge in court said that they shouldn't be giving

0:23:44 > 0:23:48homeless people criminal behaviour orders, they should be helping them.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12What are you going to do?

0:24:12 > 0:24:15I'm in the same situation myself, just been released from prison

0:24:15 > 0:24:16with nowhere to go.

0:24:16 > 0:24:18I went to the Middlesbrough Council, there's nothing here for you,

0:24:18 > 0:24:21there's nothing we can do for you, you know what I mean?

0:24:21 > 0:24:25There's no help round here for no one.

0:24:25 > 0:24:27I know, like for yourself, you know that yourself, don't you?

0:24:27 > 0:24:29Yeah.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32And I have spoke to you in the past as well, haven't I,

0:24:32 > 0:24:33about a few things.

0:24:33 > 0:24:34They don't do nothing.

0:24:34 > 0:24:36They turned round and said, because of my history,

0:24:36 > 0:24:38that's why they can't get me nowhere.

0:24:38 > 0:24:39What's your history?

0:24:39 > 0:24:42There's been robberies and that, you know.

0:24:42 > 0:24:45But that was when, back in the day.

0:24:45 > 0:24:47Yeah, probation refused to help me with an address

0:24:47 > 0:24:49until I was in prison.

0:24:49 > 0:24:53Yeah, but I've been in prison...

0:24:53 > 0:24:58Basically, like, you put yourself right, get yourself off drugs

0:24:58 > 0:25:01but unless they get you somewhere you might have a slip-up every now

0:25:01 > 0:25:03and again and like you're back to square one.

0:25:03 > 0:25:06And all the police do is arrest you for trying

0:25:06 > 0:25:08to look after yourself.

0:25:08 > 0:25:13Exactly, there you go, he's just said it for himself.

0:25:13 > 0:25:16He has to beg because he's got nowhere to live and he has

0:25:16 > 0:25:17to beg for food and that.

0:25:17 > 0:25:19Look what's happened.

0:25:19 > 0:25:21He has to send himself to jail!

0:25:23 > 0:25:26Is life easier in prison?

0:25:26 > 0:25:28I thought it was, yeah.

0:25:28 > 0:25:30Why?

0:25:30 > 0:25:32You don't have to worry about nothing in there,

0:25:32 > 0:25:35no bills, nothing.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45Can't you go to the council and speak to a social worker

0:25:45 > 0:25:46or someone like that?

0:25:46 > 0:25:49I put in for a rapid reclaim.

0:25:49 > 0:25:51Do that, you might get some benefits from them.

0:25:51 > 0:25:53Or go to probation.

0:25:53 > 0:25:56They'll send you to the food bank.

0:25:56 > 0:25:58You don't want to be coming back to here,

0:25:58 > 0:26:01it's terrible round here.

0:26:01 > 0:26:04Just stay off your drugs and you'll be laughing.

0:26:04 > 0:26:08All right.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17I've got the mental age of a ten-year-old.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22It's impossible for me to cope on my own because I'm bad

0:26:22 > 0:26:25with things like budget and money.

0:26:25 > 0:26:31I'm clean, I haven't used since I've been out

0:26:31 > 0:26:36and I am struggling because, even though I'm starting

0:26:36 > 0:26:43to get help now, I still don't think it's enough.

0:26:49 > 0:26:52I would like to move out of Middlesbrough completely.

0:26:52 > 0:26:56Maybe just go to Durham, Northallerton way, live down there.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59I think if I could do that, I could guarantee myself,

0:26:59 > 0:27:04change even more and guarantee to stay off drugs.

0:27:08 > 0:27:12We did ask to speak to Middlesbrough council but they've not responded.

0:27:12 > 0:27:15We have heard from the Durham Tees Valley Probation Service who told us

0:27:15 > 0:27:19they provide every prison leaver with a support service targeted

0:27:19 > 0:27:30around their specific needs: with a support service targeted

0:27:32 > 0:27:34"This can

0:27:34 > 0:27:35include accommodation, employability, finance

0:27:46 > 0:27:49Really interesting e-mail from Howard who is a sitting magistrate

0:27:49 > 0:27:54and has been for 18 years and watched the film, he said I can

0:27:54 > 0:27:57assure you requests to be imprisoned during Court proceedings are very

0:27:57 > 0:28:02common, this must have happened to me 50 or more times, some who

0:28:02 > 0:28:05request it are drug addicts who feel it's the only way to kick the habit

0:28:05 > 0:28:10but the majority are homeless people who are usually in for shoplifting.

0:28:10 > 0:28:12It's more prevalent in winter because of the weather but

0:28:12 > 0:28:19especially noticeable immediately before Christmas. Jean on Facebook

0:28:19 > 0:28:24says what a country we have become. This lad and thousands like him

0:28:24 > 0:28:28hounded and penalised effectively for dry to stay alive, I am more

0:28:28 > 0:28:33ashamed of my country daily. Karen says this is the result of a broken,

0:28:33 > 0:28:38forgotten and disconnected society, state raised kids governed by box

0:28:38 > 0:28:42ticking, if they don't want to live on the streets they often feel

0:28:42 > 0:28:46forced into the army or prison, both give them a family of sorts and

0:28:46 > 0:28:51routine. Gavin on Facebook is not sympathetic, says this poor lad in

0:28:51 > 0:28:56inverted commas wants to fill his pockets with our taxes. Christopher

0:28:56 > 0:28:59Middlesbrough says it's a sad situation, baking becoming more

0:28:59 > 0:29:04coming but what confuses me, the council finding housing for asylum

0:29:04 > 0:29:08seekers well documented in the media, we've reported by bad on our

0:29:08 > 0:29:11programme yet these local folk are struggling and getting locked up

0:29:11 > 0:29:16just for begging. Surely it's better all round to house them? Thank you

0:29:16 > 0:29:23for those, keep them coming in. In the next 30 minutes...

0:29:23 > 0:29:25We talk to MPs about whether yesterday's

0:29:25 > 0:29:26Budget has done enough - amid predictions of

0:29:26 > 0:29:28an economic slowdown.

0:29:28 > 0:29:30Let us know your views.

0:29:30 > 0:29:33We'll get the latest from the first Ashes Test in Brisbane,

0:29:33 > 0:29:35from this kangaroo.

0:29:39 > 0:29:45Time for the latest news - here's Annita.

0:29:45 > 0:29:48The BBC News headlines this morning.

0:29:48 > 0:29:50Conservative MPs have rallied around the Chancellor after his budget

0:29:50 > 0:29:52was overshadowed by a gloomier than expected forecast

0:29:52 > 0:29:55for economic growth.

0:29:55 > 0:29:58Philip Hammond announced a series of spending and tax measures amounting

0:29:58 > 0:30:01to £25 billion.

0:30:01 > 0:30:03He won cautious praise for providing extra money for the NHS,

0:30:03 > 0:30:04housebuilding and Brexit.

0:30:04 > 0:30:07The Chancellor says his budget has delivered "a package

0:30:07 > 0:30:09for Britain" and for families who are feeling the pressure.

0:30:09 > 0:30:11However, Labour say Mr Hammond failed to address the squeeze

0:30:11 > 0:30:16on household incomes.

0:30:16 > 0:30:18The new leader of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, has urged

0:30:18 > 0:30:19the country to unite.

0:30:19 > 0:30:22In a speech to a cheering crowd he praised the army for removing

0:30:22 > 0:30:23President Robert Mugabe peacefully.

0:30:23 > 0:30:29Mr Mnangagwa, who will be sworn in as president tomorrow,

0:30:29 > 0:30:34said Zimbabwe was experiencing a new democracy - and his priority

0:30:34 > 0:30:36is to rebuild its economy.

0:30:36 > 0:30:39The Argentine navy is investigating reports of a sound heard a few hours

0:30:39 > 0:30:42after it lost contact with one of its submarines a week ago

0:30:42 > 0:30:43in the south Atlantic.

0:30:43 > 0:30:52There are concerns that the 44 crew on board the San Juan submarine

0:30:52 > 0:30:53could be running low on oxygen.

0:30:53 > 0:31:03An RAF aircraft has landed in Argentina to help with the search.

0:31:07 > 0:31:09A former doctor for the US gymnastics team has pleaded guilty

0:31:09 > 0:31:12to sexual assaults against women and girls in his care.

0:31:12 > 0:31:13Lawrence Nassar was accused of molesting dozens

0:31:13 > 0:31:15of female athletes - including three Olympic

0:31:15 > 0:31:17gold medallists - while he was working for both

0:31:17 > 0:31:19the national team and a university.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21More than 70 people had to be rescued overnight

0:31:21 > 0:31:22after flooding across Lancashire.

0:31:22 > 0:31:24People in Lancaster and Morecambe were among those affected.

0:31:24 > 0:31:27The fire service said it received more than 400 calls and helped

0:31:27 > 0:31:30evacuate 20 horses that had become trapped.

0:31:30 > 0:31:33There are currently 13 flood warnings in place across Lancashire

0:31:33 > 0:31:35and neighbouring Cumbria.

0:31:35 > 0:31:37One resident told us how her home was affected.

0:31:37 > 0:31:39Went to work today, thought little of it,

0:31:39 > 0:31:45came home and thought, right, it's pretty high,

0:31:45 > 0:31:47it's still going to keep on raining all night,

0:31:47 > 0:31:50we had better start moving some stuff out of the way.

0:31:50 > 0:31:53And it just came in faster and faster and faster and there came

0:31:53 > 0:31:55a point where we were bucketing it out, bailing it out.

0:31:55 > 0:31:56We had pumps going.

0:31:56 > 0:32:00It came a point where it was bucket versus river and the river won.

0:32:00 > 0:32:02New research suggests that drinking a moderate amount of coffee

0:32:02 > 0:32:05is unlikely to be harmful to health, except for pregnant women.

0:32:05 > 0:32:07The study, published in the British Medical Journal,

0:32:07 > 0:32:10found coffee drinkers had a lower risk of liver disease and some

0:32:10 > 0:32:16cancers, and a lower risk of dying from stroke -

0:32:16 > 0:32:26but researchers could not prove coffee was the cause.

0:32:30 > 0:32:36That's a summary of the latest news. Tracy has sent a message through

0:32:36 > 0:32:39Twitter about Kezia Dugdale in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, saying

0:32:39 > 0:32:43it feels more like an attempted exposure, yet she has a job to do

0:32:43 > 0:32:49here. Another viewers says that she sees herself as another Ed Balls,

0:32:49 > 0:32:53and imagines she will be on Strictly next year. She knows she doesn't

0:32:53 > 0:33:01have much time left in the party, he says. Dave says, referring to

0:33:01 > 0:33:05Conservative MPs, we should have a go at them as well. Another viewers

0:33:05 > 0:33:10says that she is not a celebrity, she is a politician, she should not

0:33:10 > 0:33:15get paid that when some in the UK can't even eat, maybe some of her

0:33:15 > 0:33:20salary could go to a homeless project. She says that her fee from

0:33:20 > 0:33:28the programme, part of it, is going to charity and part of her three

0:33:28 > 0:33:33weeks leave wages are also going to charity. Now the latest sport with

0:33:33 > 0:33:47Hugh. England ending the opening day of the Ashes with four wickets gone,

0:33:47 > 0:33:51James Vince. Scorer on 83, Mark Stoneman made half-century as

0:33:51 > 0:33:56England made a steady start at the Gabba Stadium. Joe Root was that her

0:33:56 > 0:34:0115, Alastair Cook for only two. Manchester United will have to wait

0:34:01 > 0:34:04for their final group match to reach the Champions League knockout stage

0:34:04 > 0:34:11after losing 1-0 two FC Basle last night. United could win the group

0:34:11 > 0:34:15could go out. Celtic were thrashed 7-1 by PSG last night despite taking

0:34:15 > 0:34:22the lead. If they avoid defeat in their final match they could get

0:34:22 > 0:34:25into the Europa League and England to play New Zealand in the

0:34:25 > 0:34:28semifinals of the women's hockey world league final tomorrow, they

0:34:28 > 0:34:33beat the United States 2-1 in Auckland this morning. We'll be back

0:34:33 > 0:34:36with more after ten. Thank you.

0:34:36 > 0:34:38The Chancellor Philip Hammond lives to fight another day

0:34:38 > 0:34:40after his budget yesterday, where amongst a raft

0:34:40 > 0:34:42of headline spends on housing, the NHS, and Brexit,

0:34:42 > 0:34:45he had to downgrade the UK's growth forecast for the next few years.

0:34:45 > 0:34:47It's been cautiously welcomed by Conservative MPs calling it

0:34:47 > 0:34:51'solid and commonsense'.

0:34:51 > 0:34:54But the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn warned it would cause "misery"

0:34:54 > 0:34:56for people across the country.

0:34:56 > 0:35:00Housing was the showstopper with the announcement that stamp

0:35:00 > 0:35:05duty would be scrapped for first time buyers - on homes worth up

0:35:05 > 0:35:08to £300,000 in England, Wales and Northern Ireland.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10He promised more cash for the NHS in England -

0:35:10 > 0:35:16an extra £2.8 billion over the next three years.

0:35:16 > 0:35:19And he said that nurses would get extra pay -

0:35:19 > 0:35:24if their pay bodies recommend it.

0:35:24 > 0:35:27He also set aside £3 billion in case there's no deal on Brexit.

0:35:27 > 0:35:30And pledged help for people moving on to Universal Credit.

0:35:30 > 0:35:32Duties for beer, wine, spirits and petrol will be frozen.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35But there'll be an increase for white cider, from 2019.

0:35:35 > 0:35:37The cut in stamp duty will save most first time buyers up

0:35:37 > 0:35:42to £5,000.

0:35:42 > 0:35:45But some have told the BBC that house prices are so high,

0:35:45 > 0:35:47they can't even think about owning their own home,

0:35:47 > 0:35:50forcing the Chancellor to defend the policy.

0:35:50 > 0:35:55Well, the average first-time buyer price is below £300,000,

0:35:55 > 0:35:59that's absolutely right, and if somebody buys a property

0:35:59 > 0:36:02for less than £300,000 they will pay no stamp duty on it and I think

0:36:02 > 0:36:05that's a very helpful additional incentive to people who are saving

0:36:05 > 0:36:11up to buy a property.

0:36:11 > 0:36:14When you buy your first home, you need to accumulate quite a bit

0:36:14 > 0:36:20of cash to pay for the deposit, to pay for the stamp duty,

0:36:20 > 0:36:24to pay for the legal fees, and hopefully, by abolishing stamp

0:36:24 > 0:36:29duty which will save the average first-time buyer about £1700,

0:36:29 > 0:36:33that will be a help and an incentive to focus on getting the deposit

0:36:33 > 0:36:35together, getting the money together to get on the housing ladder

0:36:35 > 0:36:38and we hope that many more young people will be able to get

0:36:38 > 0:36:39on the housing ladder.

0:36:39 > 0:36:42His Labour shadow John McDonnell told the BBC this morning

0:36:42 > 0:36:47that he believes the Budget willl do nothing for families.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49I don't see where he's helped families at all.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52If you look, if he's referring to Universal Credit,

0:36:52 > 0:36:55what he did yesterday if he gave people £1 and took £10 off them.

0:36:55 > 0:36:57If he's referring to families who are concerned about

0:36:57 > 0:37:04the education of their children, there is virtually nothing

0:37:04 > 0:37:08there to tackle the budget cuts that are going through our schools.

0:37:08 > 0:37:12And if he's talking about health, the chief executive of the health

0:37:12 > 0:37:16service asked for £4 million, he's got just over half of that,

0:37:16 > 0:37:19but nowhere near the amount he needs so we are facing another winter

0:37:19 > 0:37:22crisis in the NHS.

0:37:22 > 0:37:26I just think, it demonstrates to me how cut off from the real lives

0:37:26 > 0:37:28of people the Chancellor is.

0:37:28 > 0:37:30Let's talk now to Labour MP Alison McGovern who sits

0:37:30 > 0:37:32on the Treasury select committee, Conservative MP Kwasi Kwarteng

0:37:32 > 0:37:37and MP Kirsty Blackman who is the SNP's expert on economics.

0:37:37 > 0:37:46Welcome to you all, thank you for coming on the programme. Mr

0:37:46 > 0:37:52Kwarteng, was this the game changing budget ledger party needed and

0:37:52 > 0:37:55desired.I think it's a solid budget, it has things that people

0:37:55 > 0:38:00find attractive and it puts us and a good place. Contrast it with what

0:38:00 > 0:38:08John McDonnell and others say. This budget was wholly coherent. The

0:38:08 > 0:38:18attacks from Labour seem incoherent to me. It's clear that £5,000 is a

0:38:18 > 0:38:22huge gift for first-time buyers and any increase in house prices will be

0:38:22 > 0:38:27more than offset by the stamp duty abolition. I think that is a good

0:38:27 > 0:38:34policy, there's lots more money for the NHS. The Brexit provision, he

0:38:34 > 0:38:39isn't spending the money but he's said at the side.You don't sound

0:38:39 > 0:38:42very enthusiastic.I am but I'm trying to become and measured. I

0:38:42 > 0:38:50think it was a very good budget.The cut to stamp duty. Up to £5,000,

0:38:50 > 0:38:53that's an amazing amount of money and will have a lot of first-time

0:38:53 > 0:38:59buyers come you must be delighted. If Iraq absolutely not. Just wait a

0:38:59 > 0:39:04second, look at what the OBR said yesterday, they say it will increase

0:39:04 > 0:39:08house prices are the people to whom this benefit will go is people who

0:39:08 > 0:39:14already own homes. OK. This means first-time buyers won't get any help

0:39:14 > 0:39:25from this. And we know that helped by has had a similar impact. More

0:39:25 > 0:39:28prompting of demand in the housing market and if you look at the detail

0:39:28 > 0:39:35there's not much new money going into supply. We desperately need to

0:39:35 > 0:39:38upgrade housing so we have more homes for families and we have

0:39:38 > 0:39:43places in the south-east where we have new towns that needs to grow,

0:39:43 > 0:39:51there isn't really any action on that. It's not the case that people

0:39:51 > 0:39:57have had the situation made easier for them. Do you agree it is only of

0:39:57 > 0:40:04benefit to people who own homes?I'm sorry, but the OBR figure was 0.3%.

0:40:04 > 0:40:10It doesn't take Einstein to work out that... That was the figure, that is

0:40:10 > 0:40:18what Rachel Reeves said. She is a colleague of Alison's and she said

0:40:18 > 0:40:22that in the House of Commons yesterday, 0.3%. Anyone with basic

0:40:22 > 0:40:30maths will know that 0.3% of £300,000 is much less than the

0:40:30 > 0:40:34£5,000...The OBR also said this policy will only lead to the

0:40:34 > 0:40:38purchase of an additional three and 4000 homes a year.The OBR figure

0:40:38 > 0:40:47also suggested, the model was based on the idea that they will be

0:40:47 > 0:40:55building any more houses.You pulled a face.Three and a half thousand

0:40:55 > 0:40:58more houses for the whole of England and Wales is not many more that

0:40:58 > 0:41:06people will be able to buy. We are committed to a much more progressive

0:41:06 > 0:41:09tax system so people at the bottom pay less tax than those of the top

0:41:09 > 0:41:15pay a bit more. Over the first two years that we have had our stamp

0:41:15 > 0:41:19duty, 93% of people buying a house, £40,000 or more have paid less in

0:41:19 > 0:41:24Scotland than they would have in England. We've taken a look at this,

0:41:24 > 0:41:30which is I think a better way to do it. The Chancellor takes things,

0:41:30 > 0:41:33takes income tax, takes stamp duty rather than looking up the whole

0:41:33 > 0:41:39system and making changes to make the whole system better.I

0:41:39 > 0:41:43completely disagree with what Kwasi says about the OBR analysis. They

0:41:43 > 0:41:46say first-time buyers won't see the benefit, that's the end of it, as

0:41:46 > 0:41:51far as concerned, it's not a good policy. Secondly, if you ask

0:41:51 > 0:41:55potential home-buyers what they need it to be able to say the deposit.

0:41:55 > 0:42:00And what the Chancellor did yesterday was come he spent more

0:42:00 > 0:42:04trying to keep down the price of alcohol than he did giving people a

0:42:04 > 0:42:10boost in their pay and trying to tackle child poverty. If we look at

0:42:10 > 0:42:13what will help people buy homes it's making sure incomes are at a level

0:42:13 > 0:42:16where they can say, and he did absolutely nothing, yesterday, to

0:42:16 > 0:42:23help.There was promised to look at Mrs's pay if reforms were

0:42:23 > 0:42:28undertaken.I don't think that's true. If you look at the personal

0:42:28 > 0:42:32allowance, the amount you get before you have to pay tax, yesterday it

0:42:32 > 0:42:39has increased from £11,500 to £11,850. A considerable amount of

0:42:39 > 0:42:43money, an extra £350 per pupil on the lowest pay which they can earn

0:42:43 > 0:42:47without paying tax, a significant increase of the government has been

0:42:47 > 0:42:53doing for the seven years.Explain to me why a child poverty, over the

0:42:53 > 0:42:57course of this period, will go up by 400,000 kids by the end of this

0:42:57 > 0:43:07budget period. If your assertion that the personal allowance is what

0:43:07 > 0:43:10matters, why will not not happen in this country, you comfortable with

0:43:10 > 0:43:15that level of child poverty?Know but when I see Labour politicians

0:43:15 > 0:43:20blaming the Chancellor because they think he stole their policy on stamp

0:43:20 > 0:43:24duty, I haven't read the Labour manifesto, I don't know what is in

0:43:24 > 0:43:27and but Jeremy Corbyn yesterday said the stamp duty policy is taken from

0:43:27 > 0:43:32the Labour manifesto. And on the other hand you had Labour

0:43:32 > 0:43:38criticising it. When this budget the opposition has to find something to

0:43:38 > 0:43:43criticise...Business and opposition politicians, this is the OBR, which

0:43:43 > 0:43:48George Osborne setup to make sure we had independent analysis... Get

0:43:48 > 0:43:53stuck about Universal Credit, one of the biggest issues for our audience,

0:43:53 > 0:44:00business money enough to sort it out, Kirsty?The Chancellor didn't

0:44:00 > 0:44:04tackled the structural issues he's going to reduce the waiting time

0:44:04 > 0:44:07which, all welcome, is still a five-week wait which people will

0:44:07 > 0:44:10have about anything. We have seen food bank is increasing over the

0:44:10 > 0:44:15time the Tories have been in government, to over a million food

0:44:15 > 0:44:23banks...What can be done?They've put Universal Credit in as a

0:44:23 > 0:44:27money-saving measure. People will get less benefit. People having a

0:44:27 > 0:44:32third child don't get benefits for that child.That has led to more

0:44:32 > 0:44:37people getting into work and staying in work longer, what would you do in

0:44:37 > 0:44:41government?We have seen increases in in - work poverty. There hasn't

0:44:41 > 0:44:47been a decade of stagnation like this. If you ask people in work,

0:44:47 > 0:44:51what we would do is increase the minimum wage to a living wage. We

0:44:51 > 0:44:55would ensure people had the money they could spend. We would have

0:44:55 > 0:44:58measures in place to tackle inflation. Inflation has gone crazy

0:44:58 > 0:45:06thanks to Brexit. And we would not pursue Brexit.

0:45:06 > 0:45:11We've also increased the minimum wage, but something we did in the

0:45:11 > 0:45:19budget.That's basically why child poverty has increased.You describe

0:45:19 > 0:45:24this £3 billion put aside by the Chancellor to cope with their is a

0:45:24 > 0:45:30no deal Brexit as a joke, why?The problem with the brakes of money is

0:45:30 > 0:45:36that it's way more than the Chancellor committed to the NHS. We

0:45:36 > 0:45:41were told by the Brexiteers exit would be great, we will have 350

0:45:41 > 0:45:45million quid a week for the NHS and all I can see so far is the cost of

0:45:45 > 0:45:49the thing and we are getting little benefit.You accept the Brexit is

0:45:49 > 0:45:57costing this country a lot of money, 40 billion plus 3 billion?It's

0:45:57 > 0:46:02being set aside, it's not actually a cost. I'd be. If there is no deal at

0:46:02 > 0:46:08my be but it's not a guaranteed. In terms of Brexit I was for Brexit, I

0:46:08 > 0:46:13think in the long term...How long is the long-term, how long do we

0:46:13 > 0:46:21have to wait?I don't want to read litigate the Brexit the Brexit

0:46:21 > 0:46:24argument, I'm bored with that. I think is responsible for the

0:46:24 > 0:46:28government to plan for no deal, if you go into any negotiation you plan

0:46:28 > 0:46:33for either outcome.Very briefly, compared to the issues we have been

0:46:33 > 0:46:38discussing I appreciate it's not up there in terms of importance but as

0:46:38 > 0:46:43a politician's personal decision to go into I'm a celebrity, Kezia Doug

0:46:43 > 0:46:51Dell, a Labour colleague of yours in Scotland what do you think of what

0:46:51 > 0:46:55she no, people take their own view about these things, politicians go

0:46:55 > 0:47:00on different telly programmes, Ed Balls went on strictly. He wasn't a

0:47:00 > 0:47:04politician.That is true, if her constituents want to ask her about

0:47:04 > 0:47:10it and talk about it that is fine and I understand that but I think...

0:47:10 > 0:47:13Do you think she should be suspended?I think she's trying to

0:47:13 > 0:47:18reach out and Owen on a big telly programme is a way...This is what

0:47:18 > 0:47:25she had disabled stop first and foremost it's a huge UK wide tell

0:47:25 > 0:47:28but television per gram of an audience into the millions on the

0:47:28 > 0:47:31think it's an opportunity to talk to young people about politics and

0:47:31 > 0:47:35Labour values. The first time I was approached to do this I said no, I

0:47:35 > 0:47:40turned it down because I didn't think I could be away from my job

0:47:40 > 0:47:43for over five weeks, the show came back to me and asked me if I could

0:47:43 > 0:47:48go away for three weeks and two days and that is what I am going to do.

0:47:48 > 0:47:53What do you think? I would not have done it, because parliament is

0:47:53 > 0:47:58sitting in Scotland just now, she's missing votes, important debates.

0:47:58 > 0:48:03She says it's just leap. It's not a choice I would take.Would you ever

0:48:03 > 0:48:10do that? I never would but I won't criticise people who do, Nadine

0:48:10 > 0:48:15Dorries did it, it's a good way of communicating to people.Elaine

0:48:15 > 0:48:19says, mission accomplished because everybody is taking notice of you!

0:48:19 > 0:48:24We are in the publicity business, as a politician you have to get your

0:48:24 > 0:48:28message out there and I won't criticise a politician.You don't

0:48:28 > 0:48:31want to dumb down politics but you have to reach out to people, how do

0:48:31 > 0:48:38you square that circle?Thank you all for coming on the programme.

0:48:38 > 0:48:42More than 70 people had to be rescued overnight after flooding in

0:48:42 > 0:48:46like a sure, we talked to some of those in the worst affected areas.

0:48:46 > 0:48:49The Ashes - one of sport's greatest rivalries - is under way.

0:48:49 > 0:48:52The opening test is at The Gabba, in Brisbane, where Australia haven't

0:48:52 > 0:48:54lost a Test for 29 years - and where England

0:48:54 > 0:49:02haven't won since 1986.

0:49:02 > 0:49:11Play ended just over an hour ago and England were 196-4.

0:49:11 > 0:49:13ISABELLE WESTBURY is a former professional

0:49:13 > 0:49:20cricketer, now a commentator.

0:49:20 > 0:49:23LUKE GILLIAN is an Australian cricket fan living in the UK -

0:49:23 > 0:49:33he's travelled all over the world to support his team.

0:49:41 > 0:49:42At Lords is ADAM SOFRONIOU,

0:49:42 > 0:49:45an England cricket fan who stayed up all night to watch the first day

0:49:45 > 0:49:48of play at a special event for fans organised by the cricket charity

0:49:48 > 0:49:53Chance to Shine.

0:49:53 > 0:50:01And with him is ERNIE THE URN, the Ashes mascot who lives at Lords.

0:50:01 > 0:50:05We've been up all night, for the night of the museum, great fun.I'll

0:50:05 > 0:50:11ask you more about that in a second, I can't help feel slightly

0:50:11 > 0:50:21disappointed when I see that, it's so looming small.

0:50:21 > 0:50:23And in Australia is CARL TEUSNER, Australian cricket fan

0:50:23 > 0:50:24known as "the travelling roo".

0:50:24 > 0:50:27He followed the Australian team around for the Cricket World Cup

0:50:27 > 0:50:28dressed as a kangaroo.

0:50:28 > 0:50:30Michael HENNESSY is in Brisbane - he's founder of The Richies,

0:50:30 > 0:50:39who are a group of Australian cricket fans

0:50:39 > 0:50:42Marvellous to talk to you!

0:50:42 > 0:50:45And also in Brisbane are their rivals The Barmy Army.

0:50:45 > 0:50:46They're a group of England cricket fans.

0:50:46 > 0:50:56Billy Cooper - also known as Billy The Trumpet is one of them.

0:50:58 > 0:51:04Hello, everybody. Obviously, let me start with you Billy, how do you

0:51:04 > 0:51:10assess how England did on the first day?All in all, not bad at all. A

0:51:10 > 0:51:16dodgy start but it went well, Australia fought back but I would

0:51:16 > 0:51:22take that all in all.Cook was out, 2-1, did you think, here we go

0:51:22 > 0:51:29again?Yes, we are used to that as England fans, England collapsed many

0:51:29 > 0:51:32times over the years but I think there's a bit more about this team

0:51:32 > 0:51:37and the Australians are not that strong, a bit of optimism going

0:51:37 > 0:51:42around, we think this time we have a good chance.We will see, Michael,

0:51:42 > 0:51:51described the rich cheese for us.We have marvellous examples, we are

0:51:51 > 0:51:55here to honour Richie Benaud, the great Australian cricket captain and

0:51:55 > 0:52:01commentator, the voice of cricket in England and Australia.We'd heard so

0:52:01 > 0:52:05much about the Australian attack, they did pretty well but they

0:52:05 > 0:52:10weren't the horror show that England fans were perhaps expect?Yes, it's

0:52:10 > 0:52:18a shame, isn't it? We were hoping for 8-190, pretty evenly poised like

0:52:18 > 0:52:24Billy said, on a knife edge. England have done pretty well, the Lions

0:52:24 > 0:52:28looking pretty good, Ali always strong. Tomorrow will be a big day,

0:52:28 > 0:52:33could change the course of this match.Isabel, I want to ask you

0:52:33 > 0:52:38about James Spence, run out, batting brilliantly, his first Ashes Test

0:52:38 > 0:52:45match. 83 he runs himself out, as a former player what's it like when

0:52:45 > 0:52:49you make that decision, there is a slight risk that you are not bad for

0:52:49 > 0:52:55away from a centre, toggle through it.It's agony, type run, you have

0:52:55 > 0:52:59to give it to the feeding, incredible, inspired by Nathan

0:52:59 > 0:53:04lying, unfortunately for the English he was chatting a lot, had a chat

0:53:04 > 0:53:08with stone man in the middle, opt for it, picked up the ball

0:53:08 > 0:53:12beautifully, one shot at the stance and he knew it, things like that

0:53:12 > 0:53:18happen, it's annoying, agonising for events not to get his maiden century

0:53:18 > 0:53:22but a maiden half-century on Ashes day, not bad.A brilliant piece of

0:53:22 > 0:53:31fielding, wasn't it?I believe so, I never saw it. What will you doing?

0:53:31 > 0:53:39Like many people, sleeping. Why have we put two?196...It could have

0:53:39 > 0:53:45been a lot worse, I tell you.Yes, we could have been all out for 196,

0:53:45 > 0:53:51would have been much better for me. Did you have the Radio 1?Yes.And

0:53:51 > 0:53:55you are mostly sleeping.There was a rain delay as well. I know. The time

0:53:55 > 0:54:02difference... And I had to be up early! Don't we all, make? But you

0:54:02 > 0:54:06weren't watching the whole thing. I've got the Radio 1. Adam... Tell

0:54:06 > 0:54:12us about the atmosphere when you are all watching the England performance

0:54:12 > 0:54:16and as we note with Test match cricket, the pendulum swings one way

0:54:16 > 0:54:20and then the other, you must have been a bit glum and Alastair Cook

0:54:20 > 0:54:25was out.Absolutely, we thought we were in for a very long night but

0:54:25 > 0:54:33fortunately it's great to see Vince and the others make some great runs,

0:54:33 > 0:54:41played themselves little bit disheartened by the rain break. I

0:54:41 > 0:54:45snuck off for a quick 40 winks, we were powered through the night by

0:54:45 > 0:54:55tea and coffee.The new England boys did well, didn't they?They were

0:54:55 > 0:54:58really did, really impressed, great to see them stand up and make their

0:54:58 > 0:55:04mark. A lot of people questioning them but they played so nicely,

0:55:04 > 0:55:12scored runs, great cover drives, brilliant.Let me bring in Karl,

0:55:12 > 0:55:19talk us through your outfit.How are you?Really well, talk us through

0:55:19 > 0:55:23your outfit, let's see it, at the moment we can just see... Can you

0:55:23 > 0:55:32see that? You go around dressed like that?Yes, I went to 16 games

0:55:32 > 0:55:40dressed as a kangaroo, across Australia and New Zealand, I became

0:55:40 > 0:55:43a bit famous during the World Cup. What kind of reaction do you get

0:55:43 > 0:55:49from the crowd?I tell you what, the subcontinent fans love that, two

0:55:49 > 0:55:55hours after each game I get asked for a selfies, they absolutely love

0:55:55 > 0:56:03it.How hot is it inside?Right now it's not too bad, you want to watch

0:56:03 > 0:56:09the United Arab Emirates play in Brisbane, that was sobbing. I was

0:56:09 > 0:56:16dehydrated after that.Typically, not too bad. Billy, let me come back

0:56:16 > 0:56:21to you, I don't want to use the word banter, it's been a bit used and not

0:56:21 > 0:56:26very nice terms but in terms of the relationship between Billy, the

0:56:26 > 0:56:31barmy Army and the Australian cricket fans, what's that like?I

0:56:31 > 0:56:38think on the whole, we have a lot of fun supporting our team, the Aussies

0:56:38 > 0:56:42are a mixed bunch, some of them have fun, some of them maybe not quite so

0:56:42 > 0:56:54fun loving but we look forward to getting together with the Richies,

0:56:54 > 0:56:58we are looking forward to that, we will see what they have got, added

0:56:58 > 0:57:02to the atmosphere, see what they have got.Michael, how do you think

0:57:02 > 0:57:06this series will play out of them?I think it's going to be really

0:57:06 > 0:57:14competitive. Both teams are very close, Australia have the home

0:57:14 > 0:57:18advantage, both the new players for England, they could rise to the

0:57:18 > 0:57:22occasion and Vince has done well in that regard. Or they could crumble,

0:57:22 > 0:57:27we will see what tomorrow and the next couple of days hold but a lot

0:57:27 > 0:57:31of pressure on England, the English fans aren't really known for their

0:57:31 > 0:57:36optimism, we will see, we are not sure how long they will keep their

0:57:36 > 0:57:42chins up.LAUGHTER Isabel, what's it like for a player, a new player,

0:57:42 > 0:57:48when you step up to play honour to represent your country?They won't

0:57:48 > 0:57:54have felt anything like it, the Ashes, the pinnacle, since 1882, the

0:57:54 > 0:57:58history, the tradition, I think as well a similar culture between

0:57:58 > 0:58:02England and Australia, there is nothing that can top that.Are you

0:58:02 > 0:58:08going to be listening tonight?I had a good nights sleep so I should be

0:58:08 > 0:58:12up a bit later tonight. Australia should be batting.I was expecting

0:58:12 > 0:58:17them to bad. We will see, thanks all of you, I appreciate your time. News

0:58:17 > 0:58:20and sport in a moment that here is the weather.

0:58:27 > 0:58:31Many of us noticing it's not cold this morning, some of us have had

0:58:31 > 0:58:34snow. Mainly over Scotland, the higher ground, some centimetres

0:58:34 > 0:58:40falling here, as the skies clear, clearer weather, temperatures

0:58:40 > 0:58:44dropping, the risk of ice over the next few hours. Largely dry

0:58:44 > 0:58:51elsewhere across the UK. For many of us, a real change in the

0:58:51 > 0:58:55temperatures. For the rest of today, we continue to seek showers across

0:58:55 > 0:58:59northern England, Wales, south-west England, not as much rain as we saw

0:58:59 > 0:59:04it yesterday in flood hit areas in Cumbria and Lancashire, showers

0:59:04 > 0:59:07easing. The odd shower this afternoon around the Bristol

0:59:07 > 0:59:12Channel, for most of England dry and bright, just about holding on to

0:59:12 > 0:59:18double digit temperatures, 10-12d. Elsewhere much colder, temperatures

0:59:18 > 0:59:24dropping by a few degrees, 6-7d. Wintry showers into Northern

0:59:24 > 0:59:27Ireland, into north-western parts of Scotland, the majority of the snow

0:59:27 > 0:59:34clearing, cold, temperatures between 3-4d. The cold are with us today and

0:59:34 > 0:59:41the next few days, into the weekend, still with us, cold are in charge.

0:59:41 > 0:59:49For Friday, largely dry and bright, some sunshine, some showers turning

0:59:49 > 0:59:52wintry cross Scotland, Northern Ireland, north-west England, North

0:59:52 > 0:59:58Wales. Some is no over the mountains. Most of us a dry day with

0:59:58 > 1:00:02sunshine, some showers across the far south, even in the South West

1:00:02 > 1:00:06territories dropping between 7-9, feeling cold. This weekend, frosty

1:00:06 > 1:00:10nights, the risk of ice, some showers through the day, chilly

1:00:10 > 1:00:16wind, but for most, dry with sunshine. This is Saturday, plenty

1:00:16 > 1:00:21of dry weather, sunshine, some showers affect northern and western

1:00:21 > 1:00:24Scotland, into the Irish sea, the coast of north-west England, sunny

1:00:24 > 1:00:29spells elsewhere, keep that north-westerly airstream, the cold

1:00:29 > 1:00:33are coming across the UK. Still quite breezy on Sunday, but

1:00:33 > 1:00:39north-westerly wind, one of those northern and western coasts, you

1:00:39 > 1:00:43will see showers. On Sunday for most dry and bright, sunshine,

1:00:43 > 1:00:48temperatures about 5-9d. Equipped yourselves with hats, scarves and

1:00:48 > 1:00:55gloves as we go towards the weekend.

1:00:55 > 1:00:58gloves as we go towards the weekend. We will, Simon, thank you.

1:00:58 > 1:01:00Hello it's Thursday November 23rd, it's 10 o'clock,

1:01:00 > 1:01:01I'm Victoria Derbyshire.

1:01:01 > 1:01:03Conservative MPs have backed the Chancellor, Philip Hammond,

1:01:03 > 1:01:05calling his Budget "solid" and common-sense" despite gloomy

1:01:05 > 1:01:07forecasts for economic growth.

1:01:07 > 1:01:12That was a considerable amount of money, an extra £350 for people on

1:01:12 > 1:01:16the lowest paid that they can earn without having to pay tax. A

1:01:16 > 1:01:19significant increase, part of what the government has been doing for

1:01:19 > 1:01:25seven years.So explain why child poverty, over the course of this

1:01:25 > 1:01:35budget period, will go up by 400,000 kids.

1:01:35 > 1:01:37Also, Bradley Grimes - the 23-year-old who spent 7 years

1:01:37 > 1:01:39on the streets of Middlesbrough before begging a judge

1:01:39 > 1:01:41to send him to jail.

1:01:41 > 1:01:43I used to sit on the floor here.

1:01:43 > 1:01:44What happened?

1:01:44 > 1:01:47Well, CCTV picks you up and they dispatch either the

1:01:47 > 1:01:48police or the street wardens.

1:01:48 > 1:01:55If the police come, you're arrested.

1:01:55 > 1:02:01Many of you getting in touch about our film. Maggie says an Twitter,

1:02:01 > 1:02:05this young man was in care, why safeguard him only to abandon him

1:02:05 > 1:02:09when he is an adult, what kind of outcome is that for him?

1:02:09 > 1:02:11You can watch that report back on our programme page

1:02:11 > 1:02:13at bbc.co.uk/victoria

1:02:13 > 1:02:16And also on our social media channels.

1:02:16 > 1:02:19And politician in the jungle - lots of reaction from

1:02:19 > 1:02:22you to the former leader of Scottish Labour Kezia Dugdale

1:02:22 > 1:02:23making her first appearance on I'm a Celebrity,

1:02:23 > 1:02:25Get me out of here.

1:02:25 > 1:02:27She's not the first politician to appear on reality TV -

1:02:27 > 1:02:28who can forget this?

1:02:28 > 1:02:39Would you like me to be the cat?Yes please. It's OK, don't be

1:02:39 > 1:02:51frightened.I don't like spiders. Pull off a leg and give it a try. Go

1:02:51 > 1:03:04on.I had forgotten how excruciating that cat business was. What do think

1:03:04 > 1:03:08about the Labour MSP Kezia Dugdale appearing in I'm A Celebrity Get Me

1:03:08 > 1:03:11Out Of Here. Has she done right thing? What do you think of the way

1:03:11 > 1:03:21that the Labour Party in Scotland have handled her decision?

1:03:21 > 1:03:27Here's Annita in the BBC Newsroom with a summary of today's news.

1:03:27 > 1:03:29Thank you, Victoria, good morning again.

1:03:29 > 1:03:32Conservative MPs have rallied around the Chancellor after his budget

1:03:32 > 1:03:33was overshadowed by a gloomier than expected forecast

1:03:33 > 1:03:34for economic growth.

1:03:34 > 1:03:44Philip Hammond announced a series of spending

1:03:44 > 1:03:45and tax measures amounting to £25 billion.

1:03:45 > 1:03:48He won cautious praise for providing extra money for the NHS,

1:03:48 > 1:03:49housebuilding and Brexit.

1:03:49 > 1:03:52And for families feeling the pressure.

1:03:52 > 1:03:54The Chancellor says his budget has delivered "a package

1:03:54 > 1:03:56for Britain" and for families who are feeling the pressure.

1:03:56 > 1:03:58However, Labour say Mr Hammond failed to address the squeeze

1:03:58 > 1:04:00on household incomes.

1:04:00 > 1:04:02The new leader of Zimbabwe, Emmerson Mnangagwa, has urged

1:04:02 > 1:04:03the country to unite.

1:04:03 > 1:04:05In a speech to a cheering crowd he praised

1:04:05 > 1:04:07the army for removing President Robert Mugabe peacefully.

1:04:07 > 1:04:09Mr Mnangagwa, who will be sworn in as president tomorrow,

1:04:09 > 1:04:12said Zimbabwe was experiencing a new democracy - and his priority

1:04:12 > 1:04:21was to rebuild its economy.

1:04:21 > 1:04:23Nearly 2 million adults experienced domestic abuse in England and Wales

1:04:23 > 1:04:27says a major new report from the ONS. The figures from the crime

1:04:27 > 1:04:33survey for England and Wales for the year ending March 20 17th reveal

1:04:33 > 1:04:38that 1.2 million women and 713,000 men reported being victims of some

1:04:38 > 1:04:42form of domestic abuse in the previous year. 1.1 million reports

1:04:42 > 1:04:45of abuse were recorded by police.

1:04:45 > 1:04:48The Argentine navy is investigating reports of a sound heard a few hours

1:04:48 > 1:04:51after it lost contact with one of its submarines a week ago

1:04:51 > 1:04:52in the south Atlantic.

1:04:52 > 1:04:54There are concerns that the 44 crew on board

1:04:54 > 1:04:56the San Juan submarine could be running low on oxygen.

1:04:56 > 1:05:02An RAF aircraft has landed in Argentina to help with the search.

1:05:02 > 1:05:05A former doctor for the US gymnastics team has pleaded guilty

1:05:05 > 1:05:07to sexual assaults against women and girls in his care.

1:05:07 > 1:05:11Lawrence Nassar was accused of molesting dozens

1:05:11 > 1:05:13of female athletes - including three Olympic

1:05:13 > 1:05:15gold medallists - while he was working for both

1:05:15 > 1:05:22the national team and a university.

1:05:22 > 1:05:26More than 70 people had to be rescued overnight

1:05:26 > 1:05:32after flooding across Lancashire.

1:05:32 > 1:05:34People in Lancaster and Morecambe were among those affected.

1:05:34 > 1:05:37The fire service said it received more than 400 calls and helped

1:05:37 > 1:05:38evacuate 20 horses that had become trapped.

1:05:38 > 1:05:41There are currently 8 flood warnings in place across Lancashire

1:05:41 > 1:05:42and neighbouring Cumbria.

1:05:42 > 1:05:45One resident told us how her home was affected.

1:05:45 > 1:05:47Went to work today, thought little of it,

1:05:47 > 1:05:48came home and thought, right, it's pretty high,

1:05:48 > 1:05:51it's still going to keep on raining all night,

1:05:51 > 1:05:55we had better start moving some stuff out of the way.

1:05:55 > 1:05:58And it just came in faster and faster and faster and there came

1:05:58 > 1:06:01a point where we were bucketing it out, bailing it out.

1:06:01 > 1:06:02We had pumps going.

1:06:02 > 1:06:05It came a point where it was bucket versus river and the river won.

1:06:05 > 1:06:08New research suggests that drinking a moderate amount of coffee

1:06:08 > 1:06:16is unlikely to be harmful to health, except for pregnant women.

1:06:16 > 1:06:18The study, published in the British Medical Journal,

1:06:18 > 1:06:21found coffee drinkers had a lower risk of liver disease and some

1:06:21 > 1:06:23cancers, and a lower risk of dying from stroke -

1:06:23 > 1:06:25but researchers could not prove that coffee was the cause.

1:06:25 > 1:06:28That's a summary of the latest BBC News - more at 10.30.

1:06:28 > 1:06:34Victoria. More comments from you about Bradley Grimes, the

1:06:34 > 1:06:3823-year-old featured in our film earlier. He has been homeless for a

1:06:38 > 1:06:42number of years and got so desperate he asked a judge to send him to

1:06:42 > 1:06:47prison so he would have a roof over his head. So the judge activated a

1:06:47 > 1:06:51suspended prison sentence Bradley grants had been given earlier for a

1:06:51 > 1:06:55knife offence and anti-social behaviour, so he went to jail. The

1:06:55 > 1:06:59judge effectively said, he can't come out of jail until he's got

1:06:59 > 1:07:05somewhere to live. That has happened. Janet says in a tweet, my

1:07:05 > 1:07:10heart bleeds, surely he has a social worker? What a cruel country we have

1:07:10 > 1:07:13become. Angela e-mailed to say, I was very sad to see your report on

1:07:13 > 1:07:17this man, I agree that the government and the councils do what

1:07:17 > 1:07:23they can for asylum seekers yet some of our own people are abandoned to

1:07:23 > 1:07:27the streets. Rebecca says this is like a ten-year-old vulnerable boy

1:07:27 > 1:07:31on the streets, he needs help and support. Another viewers says, your

1:07:31 > 1:07:35film is so sad and I have been homeless myself.

1:07:35 > 1:07:38Do get in touch with us throughout the morning -

1:07:38 > 1:07:41use the hashtag Victoria LIVE and If you text, you will be charged

1:07:41 > 1:07:42at the standard network rate.

1:07:42 > 1:07:46Here's some sport now with Hugh.

1:07:46 > 1:07:51Good morning again, the 2017 Ashes is now underway. The first day was a

1:07:51 > 1:07:55difficult one to gauge the players feeling their way into this series,

1:07:55 > 1:07:59it will be huge, England hoping to retain the Ashes. They faced

1:07:59 > 1:08:04Australia in the first test at the Gabba, where Australia haven't lost

1:08:04 > 1:08:09in a test for almost 30 years. England won toss and batted but not

1:08:09 > 1:08:13a great start, they lost Alastair Cook firmly two runs. James Vince

1:08:13 > 1:08:25came in next and did a great job, composed 83 stealing the headlines

1:08:25 > 1:08:27before this brilliant run out by Nathan Lyon. Despite that moment,

1:08:27 > 1:08:30James Vince says he has answered some of his doubters. Mark Stoneman

1:08:30 > 1:08:35made half-century low captain Joe Root will be disappointed, trapped

1:08:35 > 1:08:39LBW and only 15. Dawid Malan impressed with a quickfire 28 not

1:08:39 > 1:08:45out before the close which came with the fading light in Brisbane.

1:08:45 > 1:08:47Australian captain Steve Smith wasn't happy, only three deliveries

1:08:47 > 1:08:53after he took the new ball the players were off. England ended on

1:08:53 > 1:08:58196-4 in their first innings, they will be content.Good to get runs

1:08:58 > 1:09:03only, conditions are bit different to expected, there wasn't a huge

1:09:03 > 1:09:13amount of

1:09:14 > 1:09:17pace in it for the start of the day, it got better as the day went on.

1:09:17 > 1:09:20They bowled quite well, didn't give us a lot, I think the morning is

1:09:20 > 1:09:23crucial, if we can get through the first hour and edge our we to the

1:09:23 > 1:09:25first... It was a good pick-up, he bowled pretty well and deserved

1:09:25 > 1:09:27something. Disappointing, no matter what score a batsman gets he always

1:09:27 > 1:09:32wants more. It would have been nice at the end of the day but stuff like

1:09:32 > 1:09:40that happens in cricket.Keep up-to-date with the ashes on radio

1:09:40 > 1:09:44Five Live Extra, the programme begins at 1130 tonight, play begins

1:09:44 > 1:09:49at midnight. In football Manchester United aren't sure of making the

1:09:49 > 1:09:56Champions League knockout stages after losing 1-0 against FC Basel

1:09:56 > 1:09:59incident last night. Manchester United will need at least one draw

1:09:59 > 1:10:06from their final group game and beat CSKA Moscow to go into the next

1:10:06 > 1:10:15stage. Willian scored twice in Chelsea's win, they qualify as group

1:10:15 > 1:10:18winners. Scottish champions Celtic out of the competition, they took an

1:10:18 > 1:10:26early lead away against PSG but were dismantled, losing 7-1. A draw in

1:10:26 > 1:10:31their final group match would mean that Celtic continue in the second

1:10:31 > 1:10:36tier, the Europa League. England A into the semifinals of the women's

1:10:36 > 1:10:39hockey world league final in New Zealand, they beat the USA 2-1 in

1:10:39 > 1:10:44Auckland for their second win of the tournament. Eight of the England

1:10:44 > 1:10:48squad won Olympic golds with Team GB last summer. Sophie Bray scored both

1:10:48 > 1:10:55goals. They will play the hosts, New Zealand, for a place in the final,

1:10:55 > 1:10:58tomorrow morning. That's all the sport, now back to your Victoria.

1:10:58 > 1:11:07Thank you. Jon Venables, one of two boys found guilty of killing toddler

1:11:07 > 1:11:12James Bulger back in 1993 is back in jail. He was caught with child abuse

1:11:12 > 1:11:18images for the second time. John Venables, who is now 35, together

1:11:18 > 1:11:22with Robert Thompson, tortured and killed two-year-old James Bulger in

1:11:22 > 1:11:31the early 1990s. The boys were ten. John Venables has been living under

1:11:31 > 1:11:37a new identity fears. Daniel Sandford, our correspondent, is

1:11:37 > 1:11:42here.About a week ago on a routine visit to John Venables, now living

1:11:42 > 1:11:45under a second new identity, officials found what they suspected

1:11:45 > 1:11:48were new illegal images of child pornography on a computer linked to

1:11:48 > 1:11:56him. It is potentially a criminal offence and police are investigating

1:11:56 > 1:12:00but under the prison recall system he was recalled to prison, so John

1:12:00 > 1:12:03Venables is back in prison, considered again by the parole board

1:12:03 > 1:12:08as to whether or not he should remain in prison will be released

1:12:08 > 1:12:13again. Police are investigating these images which have been found

1:12:13 > 1:12:17on a computer linked to him.The second time he has been sent back to

1:12:17 > 1:12:25prison since he was released after what he did to James Bulger.A bit

1:12:25 > 1:12:30of history, in 1993, aged ten with his mate Robert Thompson, they not

1:12:30 > 1:12:34only killed the two-year-old boy, James Bulger, who they had abducted

1:12:34 > 1:12:39from a shopping centre but they tortured him in the process. It was

1:12:39 > 1:12:43one of the most horrendous crimes of the 1990s. It caused shock and

1:12:43 > 1:12:52outrage.Saturn image of James Bulger right now.They were sent to

1:12:52 > 1:12:55prison, there was a big argument about at what point they should be

1:12:55 > 1:12:59allowed to be released. Eventually they were released and new

1:12:59 > 1:13:04identities in 2001. Robert Thompson has vanished and appears to be

1:13:04 > 1:13:08sticking to the rules around his release on licence but John Venables

1:13:08 > 1:13:15come in 2010, was arrested and pleaded guilty to possessing images

1:13:15 > 1:13:20of child abuse. He was given another prison sentence but in 2013 was

1:13:28 > 1:13:32is true that these images were on a computer linked to him, he will go

1:13:32 > 1:13:36through the whole process again. Denise Fergus, the mother of James

1:13:36 > 1:13:40Bulger is furious about this and posted on Facebook Mac early this

1:13:40 > 1:13:44morning, I am absolutely fuming that once again and the last to know that

1:13:44 > 1:13:47this happened one week ago and I was only informed just hours before it

1:13:47 > 1:13:55hit the press. So it has caused great upset. Remember that Denise

1:13:55 > 1:14:01and her husband, they said in 2013 when John Venables was released that

1:14:01 > 1:14:05they were filled with terror and that he would always be a danger to

1:14:05 > 1:14:13children.Thank you, Daniel. Daniel Sandford reporting.

1:14:13 > 1:14:16More than 70 people have been moved from their homes in Lancashire,

1:14:16 > 1:14:18after heavy rain caused disruption across the county.

1:14:18 > 1:14:20There are currently 8 flood warnings across the region

1:14:20 > 1:14:22and 33 flood alerts.

1:14:22 > 1:14:25Last night 27 people were evacuated from their homes in Galgate

1:14:25 > 1:14:27in Lancashire as the waters rose and we

1:14:27 > 1:14:31spoke to some of them.

1:14:31 > 1:14:35Went to work today, thought little of it, came back, thought it is

1:14:35 > 1:14:40pretty high, it rain night, let's move stuff out of the way. It came

1:14:40 > 1:14:44in faster and faster, at one point we were bucketing it out, we had

1:14:44 > 1:14:48pumps going. There came a point when it was bucket versus River and the

1:14:48 > 1:14:53River won. And it is now like this. I've lifted as much as I can from

1:14:53 > 1:14:57the ground floor but there are bikes there, my cooker has gone, my

1:14:57 > 1:15:01boiler, my washing machine, my dishwasher everything.The water has

1:15:01 > 1:15:05gone over the top of the window, flooding the side of the door, this

1:15:05 > 1:15:10huge flood of water coming through into the kitchen. I was waiting

1:15:10 > 1:15:13around in the kitchen up to my waist trying to get all the electrical

1:15:13 > 1:15:20things and what have you, all my academic work, I'm a student, it's

1:15:20 > 1:15:26been ruined, but lost the car keys so we had to get the car out of the

1:15:26 > 1:15:30way.

1:15:30 > 1:15:33In Barrow in Furness is Amy Fenton who works for the local newspaper

1:15:33 > 1:15:36and Dickie Felton who went to Barrow in Furness for an exhibition last

1:15:36 > 1:15:41night, and ended up having to stay because of the flooding.

1:15:41 > 1:15:43Hello both of you, tell us

1:15:43 > 1:15:48Hello both of you, tell us the situation across the county.When

1:15:48 > 1:15:51the rain started yesterday morning it didn't take very long for it to

1:15:51 > 1:15:56start having an impact, it became apparent that there will be major

1:15:56 > 1:16:05disruption. A lot of major roads closed the A590 into Cumbria, one of

1:16:05 > 1:16:12the main roads, trains cancelled. Currently no trains between Carlisle

1:16:12 > 1:16:18and Lancaster and Carlisle and Maryport. They are bidding on

1:16:18 > 1:16:21replacement buses, clearly not a lot of those, the replacement buses they

1:16:21 > 1:16:25put on this morning were being sent along roads that were closed, people

1:16:25 > 1:16:32were stranded.That's no good, is it? Dickie, thank you for joining

1:16:32 > 1:16:43us. Are you now?In a little village in South Lakeland. I actually caught

1:16:43 > 1:16:49a replacement bus first thing today which took about two and a half

1:16:49 > 1:16:53hours just to get here, should normally be about half an hour

1:16:53 > 1:16:58journey, lots of flooding on the roads, lots of problems.I can see

1:16:58 > 1:17:03the water levels behind you. Which presumably is higher than normal.

1:17:03 > 1:17:10They are. If you can see right behind me, some deer stuck up on the

1:17:10 > 1:17:18bank. But yes, being a very difficult time, obviously I'd had

1:17:18 > 1:17:23minor inconvenience having to stay overnight in Barrow but serious

1:17:23 > 1:17:30problems over the county.Amy, in terms of Cumbria and Lancashire,

1:17:30 > 1:17:32have they got the right infrastructure to deal with

1:17:32 > 1:17:38flooding?Absolutely not, I can't imagine there's a single person in

1:17:38 > 1:17:42Cumbria but says that do, we first started getting significant flooding

1:17:42 > 1:17:47here in 2009, back then everyone was saying we need to learn our lessons,

1:17:47 > 1:17:51do something and improve flood defences and clearly not enough has

1:17:51 > 1:17:56been done. A lot of the fear in Cumbria, we get neglected and left

1:17:56 > 1:18:02behind. Begs the question if this happened anywhere else or down south

1:18:02 > 1:18:07with the still be allowed to happen eight years on?I think there might

1:18:07 > 1:18:11be some in Cornwall who say we haven't had the necessary after

1:18:11 > 1:18:15horrendous floods there but I totally take your point. Do you

1:18:15 > 1:18:18think Cumbria gets forgotten?It does, absolutely, that's the

1:18:18 > 1:18:25perception of people who live here and consider the significance and

1:18:25 > 1:18:32loss of sound... The economy, we have Sellafield, the proposed new

1:18:32 > 1:18:38nuclear power station.Dickie, I think you moved to the area from

1:18:38 > 1:18:45Liverpool, was at last year?Yes, I am a city boy who moved up to the

1:18:45 > 1:18:49Cumbrian landscape, I love that up here, it's brilliant. But one thing

1:18:49 > 1:18:53you have to take into account, the weather, can't get bad. I think the

1:18:53 > 1:19:01Cumbrian people are very hardy and very used to it. Yes, so it's very

1:19:01 > 1:19:07different to being in a big city. Thank you very much, Dickie. Amy,

1:19:07 > 1:19:13what is the name of your newspaper? The mail and South Cumbria?Thank

1:19:13 > 1:19:17you so much for talking to us, Amy Fenton. And thank you to Dickie as

1:19:17 > 1:19:20well.

1:19:20 > 1:19:23It's pretty much unheard of for four government committees to come

1:19:23 > 1:19:32together on one issue - so when they do, you know it mist be

1:19:32 > 1:19:33something important.

1:19:33 > 1:19:34It's all about air quality.

1:19:34 > 1:19:36The four are teaming up to scrutinise the Government's plans

1:19:36 > 1:19:39to reduce the harmful effects of air pollution on public health

1:19:39 > 1:19:40and the environment.

1:19:40 > 1:19:43UK courts have twice ruled that the Government's plans to cut

1:19:43 > 1:19:45air pollution were not good enough so the Government released

1:19:45 > 1:19:55a new air quality plan.

1:19:55 > 1:20:03What's being done right now to make the air cleaner?

1:20:03 > 1:20:05Joining us now, Simon Alcock is from ClientEarth,

1:20:05 > 1:20:07a group of environmental lawyers, which have won judgements

1:20:07 > 1:20:10in the supreme court against the Government as they aim

1:20:10 > 1:20:12to bring air pollution down to legal levels.

1:20:12 > 1:20:15Also Professor Paul Monks, who is the Chair of the Air Quality

1:20:15 > 1:20:17Expert Group which advises DEFRA, and Councillor Anna Richardson,

1:20:17 > 1:20:19city convener for sustainability and carbon reduction

1:20:19 > 1:20:21at Glasgow City Council, which has been named as one

1:20:21 > 1:20:28of the UK's worst cities for air pollution.

1:20:28 > 1:20:34Hello, all of you. How much are we allowed to pollute, Simon, legally?

1:20:34 > 1:20:38The limit at the moment is 40 mg per cubic metre of nitrogen dioxide,

1:20:38 > 1:20:47that's basically pollution from diesel cars, basically and road

1:20:47 > 1:20:51transport, when we are breaking the law on this it's 80% as road

1:20:51 > 1:20:56transport and the problem is, out of the 43 songs we measure this across

1:20:56 > 1:21:00the country, 37 of them break the legal limits on this.How are they

1:21:00 > 1:21:04allowed to?We don't think the government is doing enough to get

1:21:04 > 1:21:10the dirtiest vehicles off the streets, basically.No one is

1:21:10 > 1:21:14enforcing it, is that effectively it?The moment this is European law,

1:21:14 > 1:21:18ultimately the European Commission should enforce it but we've not

1:21:18 > 1:21:21waited for that, we've been taking them to cordon the Court has done is

1:21:21 > 1:21:25the government to come up with policies to meet the limits. We have

1:21:25 > 1:21:29won two cases against the government, had been forced to come

1:21:29 > 1:21:33up with new plans but unfortunately they are not quite what we need, we

1:21:33 > 1:21:38are going back to Court again and the latest plans, passing the buck

1:21:38 > 1:21:41to the local authority and getting them to look into it when we know

1:21:41 > 1:21:44what is needed, got to take the sturdy vehicles off the streets and

1:21:44 > 1:21:48get on with it and help people switch to cleaner forms of

1:21:48 > 1:21:49transport.

1:21:49 > 1:21:51A Defra spokesperson said: "Air pollution has improved

1:21:51 > 1:21:54significantly since 2010, but we recognise there is more to do

1:21:54 > 1:21:57which is why we have put in place a £3 billion plan to improve air

1:21:57 > 1:21:59quality and reduce harmful emissions.

1:21:59 > 1:22:01"We will also end the sale of conventional new diesel

1:22:01 > 1:22:04and petrol cars and vans by 2040, and next year we will publish

1:22:04 > 1:22:07a comprehensive clean air strategy which will set out further steps

1:22:07 > 1:22:17to tackle air pollution."

1:22:20 > 1:22:232014 is too late. We will see a lot of these cars disappear, they made a

1:22:23 > 1:22:32move with this, they change the vehicle excise duty. Cars 2040. The

1:22:32 > 1:22:35problem is most of them it's only 20 quid extra and that's not going to

1:22:35 > 1:22:43put off anyone. You have got to Dean Centre vice people, it is not their

1:22:43 > 1:22:48fault they are driving this car is, we have been encouraging them to

1:22:48 > 1:22:51drive them.What are the problems with air pollution, what does it do

1:22:51 > 1:22:58to us and the environment.It harms all our health, particularly

1:22:58 > 1:23:01children, it affects their lung development. We have a 13-week-old

1:23:01 > 1:23:08son Borren four expenditure, in and out of hospital and some of the

1:23:08 > 1:23:11dirtiest roads in Europe and it's pretty frightening thing you have to

1:23:11 > 1:23:15take in a car to get there, go through those roads and we know it

1:23:15 > 1:23:21can stunt his lung growth, he may develop respiratory conditions, or

1:23:21 > 1:23:24likely to have asthma, in later life if you have a heart condition and

1:23:24 > 1:23:31can affect you as well. It's crazy, a scandal, in this day and age, the

1:23:31 > 1:23:34error we are breathing is harming our health.Many people would agree

1:23:34 > 1:23:40with you, quite out we seeing people marching on the street, perhaps

1:23:40 > 1:23:44people don't care as much as you?I don't think people are as aware,

1:23:44 > 1:23:49when they realise what is going on, we start to see more and more people

1:23:49 > 1:23:54care and as you say, it's rising up the agenda, we discussed it on

1:23:54 > 1:24:00programmes like this and we have a committee inquiry.Let me bring in

1:24:00 > 1:24:03Professor monks, it sometimes seems the answer to solving this problem

1:24:03 > 1:24:12is an electric car, electric cars, Ade the answer to the problems?They

1:24:12 > 1:24:18are not a panacea for all ills. They are not a zero emission vehicle, you

1:24:18 > 1:24:23have particles which are quite harmful in the air pollution context

1:24:23 > 1:24:28from the tyres and braking systems. Actually we need new materials

1:24:28 > 1:24:34around tyres and brakes to keep on driving down elution. It's an

1:24:34 > 1:24:38important point the previous speaker made about the transition to a low

1:24:38 > 1:24:41emissions future, you can think about measures like having hybrid

1:24:41 > 1:24:48cars in between getting rid, getting an all electric fleet and moving

1:24:48 > 1:24:53away from petrol and diesel.You are a chair of the quality group, you

1:24:53 > 1:24:58give advice for and to the Department of the Environment, what

1:24:58 > 1:25:02else are you saying to them in terms of keeping the levels at legal

1:25:02 > 1:25:07limits is not lower?We are looking at a bunch of measures, we advise

1:25:07 > 1:25:14them on the science behind reducing air pollution levels further than

1:25:14 > 1:25:18what we have achieved, looking at areas like wood-burning, encouraging

1:25:18 > 1:25:22people to use try and seasoned wood, looking at areas like agriculture,

1:25:22 > 1:25:30thinking about how one might want to go for a win- win situation in terms

1:25:30 > 1:25:34of agriculture, agriculture leads to cheaper farming, reduces the impact

1:25:34 > 1:25:40of things like ammonia, you think about the role of active transport,

1:25:40 > 1:25:44moving people from one form of transport to another may help us

1:25:44 > 1:25:49achieve ambitious air quality targets.Let me bring in councillor

1:25:49 > 1:25:53Anne Richardson, thank you for coming in. Gaskell named as one of

1:25:53 > 1:25:59the UK's worst cities when it comes to pollution, why?-- Glasgow. That

1:25:59 > 1:26:04was based on 2013 figures.Are you not one of the worst any more?We've

1:26:04 > 1:26:11made lots of progress, the good news story we want to get across, 95% of

1:26:11 > 1:26:14Glasgow city has good air quality, still some areas problematic

1:26:14 > 1:26:19particularly in the city centre but we are making a lot of moves to

1:26:19 > 1:26:25improve that cause the city centre still has problems with nitrogen

1:26:25 > 1:26:29dioxide, we are introducing a low emissions zone in Scotland at the

1:26:29 > 1:26:35end of next year, that is a transport policy, also based on the

1:26:35 > 1:26:37health drivers and making sure we can improve the efforts of everyone

1:26:37 > 1:26:42coming in and out of the city centre. It's mostly about traffic?

1:26:42 > 1:26:46Yes, in terms of the nitrogen dioxide problem we have in the city

1:26:46 > 1:26:50centre it's mostly traffic and diesel vehicles that cause those

1:26:50 > 1:26:54difficulties. In terms of global emissions, we have used evidence,

1:26:54 > 1:27:00the science to model how we can get our emission levels back down to

1:27:00 > 1:27:04within Scottish Government limits and we will introduce a low emission

1:27:04 > 1:27:09zone in phases, tacking most polluting because first, to ensure

1:27:09 > 1:27:14people coming into the city are clean and not adding to the air

1:27:14 > 1:27:19pollution. On top of that we are doing a lot of work as mentioned

1:27:19 > 1:27:24previously, active travel, behaviour change, modal shift, is crucial.Let

1:27:24 > 1:27:28me ask Simon and Professor monks. How do you get people to change

1:27:28 > 1:27:33their habits of a lifetime, to be less reliant on the car?You have

1:27:33 > 1:27:37got to give them help and support, what could that week? This is such

1:27:37 > 1:27:46an emergency we have get a bull out of diesel vehicles, get them out, we

1:27:46 > 1:27:49need low emissions vehicles. You have to convince people it's an

1:27:49 > 1:27:53emergency and for most people watching that is what is going on in

1:27:53 > 1:27:57Syria or at the submarine lost at the bottom of the ocean, Robert

1:27:57 > 1:28:02Mugabe torturing his citizens, that is an emergency. It's a different

1:28:02 > 1:28:08type of emergency, the children you are bringing up will have health

1:28:08 > 1:28:11harm through their breathing or your grandma who has a heart condition

1:28:11 > 1:28:15may die earlier because of that. I don't think anybody wants to accept

1:28:15 > 1:28:19that and so this is not rocket science, we know what's needed and

1:28:19 > 1:28:23that's why it's cried frustrating, we have to get on with it, take up

1:28:23 > 1:28:27the cars, lots of policies, scrappage schemes, incentives, get

1:28:27 > 1:28:33the car industry to help us, they got us into this mess.Professor

1:28:33 > 1:28:39monks, if I may, quick final point, can you assure our audience that the

1:28:39 > 1:28:43government takes the Sirius to considering what Simon has told us,

1:28:43 > 1:28:47him and a group of lawyers had taken the government to caught a couple of

1:28:47 > 1:28:50times over the last couple of years. I don't speak for the government.

1:28:50 > 1:28:55What you are the nearest to them we have got.What I can tell you

1:28:55 > 1:28:59absolutely the science going in is pushing very hard to achieve these

1:28:59 > 1:29:02very ambitious air-quality targets and limits to drive down the human

1:29:02 > 1:29:08health impact of what I would agree it's a public health emergency.If

1:29:08 > 1:29:12Paul was in charge think we would be doing OK, he's talked a lot of sense

1:29:12 > 1:29:15today is that the government would listen to him and get with it we

1:29:15 > 1:29:20would be OK.Thank you, all of you, I appreciate your time.

1:29:20 > 1:29:22Still to come.

1:31:34 > 1:31:38the national team and a university.

1:31:38 > 1:31:40More than 70 people had to be rescued overnight

1:31:40 > 1:31:43after flooding across Lancashire.

1:31:43 > 1:31:47People in Lancaster and Morecambe were among those affected.

1:31:47 > 1:31:50The fire service said it received more than 400 calls and helped

1:31:50 > 1:31:53evacuate 20 horses that had become trapped.

1:31:53 > 1:31:58There are currently 8 flood warnings in place across Lancashire

1:31:58 > 1:31:59and in neighbouring Cumbria.

1:31:59 > 1:32:01One resident told us how her home was affected.

1:32:01 > 1:32:03Went to work today, thought little of it,

1:32:03 > 1:32:13came back, thought it is

1:32:13 > 1:32:15pretty high, it's going to rain all night, let's move

1:32:15 > 1:32:16stuff out of the way.

1:32:16 > 1:32:18It came in faster and faster, at one point

1:32:18 > 1:32:20we were bucketing it out, we had pumps going.

1:32:20 > 1:32:23There came a point when it was bucket versus river and the

1:32:23 > 1:32:28river won.

1:32:28 > 1:32:31That's a summary of the latest BBC News.

1:32:31 > 1:32:37Colin has sent an e-mail about I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here, asking

1:32:37 > 1:32:43if she is on leave, how much leave the MPs allowed? They are paid

1:32:43 > 1:32:46£75,000 a year so the three weeks away is costing the taxpayer for a

1:32:46 > 1:32:51lot of thousand pounds, the Labour Party can complain as much as they

1:32:51 > 1:32:55like, it is the taxpayer picking up the tab. Politicians are still out

1:32:55 > 1:32:56of touch.

1:32:56 > 1:32:57Here's some sport now with Hugh.

1:32:57 > 1:33:00Good morning again, the 2017 Ashes is now underway.

1:33:00 > 1:33:06England ended the open day 196-4 in Australia. They won the toss and

1:33:06 > 1:33:11batted, James Vince the star performer with 83, a half-century

1:33:11 > 1:33:14from Mark Stoneman, England made a steady start at the Gabba Stadium,

1:33:14 > 1:33:18although Joe Root was that were 15 and Alastair Cook for just two.

1:33:18 > 1:33:21Manchester United must wait for the final group game to make the

1:33:21 > 1:33:25Champions League knockout faces, after losing 1- 02 FC Basel last

1:33:25 > 1:33:35night. Victory for Chelsea, they win their group but Celtic were beaten

1:33:35 > 1:33:387-1 by PSG. England play New Zealand in the semifinals of the women's

1:33:38 > 1:33:41hockey world league final tomorrow, they beat the USA 2-1 in Auckland

1:33:41 > 1:33:46this morning, Sophie Bray scored both goals. Breaking news just

1:33:46 > 1:33:49coming in, Widnes Vikings and former England halfback Randy Chase has

1:33:49 > 1:33:53been banned from all sport for two years after testing positive for

1:33:53 > 1:34:04cocaine. --

1:34:04 > 1:34:11Rangi Chase. Thank you, Hugh.

1:34:11 > 1:34:12Greeted by singing crowds and cheering,

1:34:12 > 1:34:16the man who is set to become the new leader of Zimbabwe has

1:34:16 > 1:34:17returned to the country and is preparing for

1:34:17 > 1:34:19his inauguration tomorrow.

1:34:19 > 1:34:21Emmerson Mnangagwa, who was sacked as vice-president two weeks

1:34:21 > 1:34:23ago praised the army, who seized power last week

1:34:23 > 1:34:25and forced Robert Mugabe to resign and told supporters that gathered

1:34:25 > 1:34:28to welcome him back they are witnessing the start

1:34:28 > 1:34:29of a new democracy.

1:34:29 > 1:34:34Today we are witnessing the beginning of a new unfolding

1:34:34 > 1:34:56democracy. I wish also to thank the manner in which our defence forces

1:34:56 > 1:34:58and the leadership of Constantino Chiwenga...

1:34:58 > 1:35:06CHEERING They have been able to manage this

1:35:06 > 1:35:09process very peaceably.

1:35:09 > 1:35:11Let's speak now to Nick Mangwala, representative

1:35:11 > 1:35:21in the UK for Zanu-PF, Robert Mugabe's former party.

1:35:25 > 1:35:27He's been a member since 1990.

1:35:27 > 1:35:29And in Harare we have Dewa Mavhinga, who was badly beaten

1:35:29 > 1:35:33and imprisoned for 8 days after protesting against Mugabe.

1:35:33 > 1:35:38First as a representative of the Zanu-PF in this country, Robert

1:35:38 > 1:35:44Mugabe has gone, Will Zimbabwe change?A lot.How?We will be more

1:35:44 > 1:35:54outward looking. We won't be an isolated country like we were.

1:35:54 > 1:35:59People will enjoy more freedoms. There will be more tolerant of

1:35:59 > 1:36:05divergent views both in and outside the party.But not totally tolerant.

1:36:05 > 1:36:21I say more tolerant because there was no tolerance under Mugabe.Why

1:36:21 > 1:36:28do you say that Zimbabwe will change in that way when Emmerson Mnangagwa

1:36:28 > 1:36:33is not a reformer, he is from the system that President Mugabe

1:36:33 > 1:36:38created, he has benefited from that system. How is he, in his mid-70s,

1:36:38 > 1:36:43the right man to take some bubbly forward?So far Emmerson Mnangagwa

1:36:43 > 1:36:52has issued three statements. All those statements have been

1:36:52 > 1:36:58propagating a new vision, a vision of tolerance, a vision where people

1:36:58 > 1:37:07are not punished for speaking their minds. Whether state should

1:37:07 > 1:37:12facilitate for people to flourish rather than prescribing what people

1:37:12 > 1:37:18should do with their lives.Let me bring in Dewa Mavhinga. Thank you

1:37:18 > 1:37:23for talking to us. I wonder how you are feeling, the day before the

1:37:23 > 1:37:28inauguration of a new president? Mixed feelings. We have come to the

1:37:28 > 1:37:33end of Mugabe's 37 years of authoritarian rule, brutal

1:37:33 > 1:37:41repression, littered with serious abuses of the last seven years, so

1:37:41 > 1:37:53huge relief, looking for a new start, also fearful for the future,

1:37:53 > 1:37:57he was Mugabe's enforcer for the last seven years.He was security

1:37:57 > 1:38:03minister when the second largest ethnic group in the country were

1:38:03 > 1:38:10being massacred by Mugabe's forces. And has not been held accountable

1:38:10 > 1:38:18for that, there has been no accountability or justice, the

1:38:18 > 1:38:26military has been at the heart of this machinery of violence and it

1:38:26 > 1:38:31remains intact. What is happening over the last week is not a 's

1:38:31 > 1:38:38revolution but it is a military programme that the new leader was

1:38:38 > 1:38:43part of, to get rid of one leader for another, yet keeping a system

1:38:43 > 1:38:48that is repressive.Nick, you have heard what Dewa Mavhinga said and he

1:38:48 > 1:38:52is right in that the generals and the military didn't get rid of

1:38:52 > 1:38:55Mugabe for any point of principle, it was because they were worried

1:38:55 > 1:38:59that he would hand power to his wife and they didn't want that, they

1:38:59 > 1:39:04wanted to maintain the system with Emmerson Mnangagwa.That's part of

1:39:04 > 1:39:12the reason although part of the reason was the socio- economic

1:39:12 > 1:39:16situation, and the pillaging of resources.That has gone on for

1:39:16 > 1:39:22decades.For a long time, but look at Emmerson Mnangagwa's own

1:39:22 > 1:39:34character. She refused to decimate, he went with a former director of

1:39:34 > 1:39:40the CIA, until he retired, for almost ten years, he was not

1:39:40 > 1:39:47vindictive...He was the security minister when the second largest

1:39:47 > 1:39:53ethnic group in the country was being massacred.There were three

1:39:53 > 1:40:01security ministers...That sounds pretty vindictive.There was a

1:40:01 > 1:40:04minister in the Home Office and a minister of defence and he was

1:40:04 > 1:40:09neither.So he didn't know what was going on? Come off it.I'm not

1:40:09 > 1:40:14saying he didn't know, I am saying there were three ministers,

1:40:14 > 1:40:24including the Prime Minister, Robert Mugabe, check the documentation in

1:40:24 > 1:40:39hindsight...He wasn't stopping it. Blends central Sunni PNS, they would

1:40:39 > 1:40:44sit there with guns, on the tables, that's the kind of situation they

1:40:44 > 1:40:54were in. I'm not making excuses, and just saying, when they came from

1:40:54 > 1:40:59there, they had everything against them.After nearly four decades of

1:40:59 > 1:41:05Mugabe the people of Zimbabwe are on average one fifth poorer. Botswana

1:41:05 > 1:41:09was roughly as rich as Zimbabwe when Mugabe came to power and they are

1:41:09 > 1:41:13now seven times richer. What can Emmerson Mnangagwa do to mix and

1:41:13 > 1:41:18Bobby Rich again?The first thing is accountability and transparency. The

1:41:18 > 1:41:27country has a lot of natural resources. Then the next thing is,

1:41:27 > 1:41:35he should and incompetence. That's a big thing with us at the moment.

1:41:35 > 1:41:41Enterprises are closing because of incompetence. In all his speeches

1:41:41 > 1:41:45and press releases, he has identified where the programmes are.

1:41:45 > 1:41:50Emmerson Mnangagwa is not much of an array to, not the most charismatic

1:41:50 > 1:41:53leader but he is effective and pragmatic in every ministry he has

1:41:53 > 1:41:58been in so we expect him to bring baptism by.Thank you the coming on

1:41:58 > 1:42:08the programme. Thank you Dewa for talking to our British audience.

1:42:08 > 1:42:10The former leader of the Scottish Labour Party,

1:42:10 > 1:42:12Kezia Dugdale, has been explaining her decision

1:42:12 > 1:42:15to appear on I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here.

1:42:15 > 1:42:17Yesterday the party decided not to suspend her after she took

1:42:17 > 1:42:20"an unauthorised leave of absence" to appear on the reality

1:42:20 > 1:42:21television show.

1:42:21 > 1:42:23Our correspondent, Chichi Izunda is with us now.

1:42:23 > 1:42:31So what will we see Kezia Dugdale doing?She will be part of the rest

1:42:31 > 1:42:35of the camp mates. We should point out that they've already started

1:42:35 > 1:42:39forming bonds and the programme likes to throw in new contestants to

1:42:39 > 1:42:47dislodge those bonds.That's right, they are getting in to well.Sushi

1:42:47 > 1:42:54and Iain Lee are coming into the camp, we have already seen people

1:42:54 > 1:42:58eating bugs on such things, she will take part in Bush tucker trials and

1:42:58 > 1:43:04the challenges. She won't be given any special treatment, basically.

1:43:04 > 1:43:15Shall we listen to Kezia, she has talked about why she is going into

1:43:15 > 1:43:19the programme.I am Kezia, best known for leading the Scottish

1:43:19 > 1:43:23Labour Party in Scotland, and a member of the Scottish parliament.

1:43:23 > 1:43:27People have seen me dealing with rats and snakes in my time. I am

1:43:27 > 1:43:31tougher than people think, you don't get to the top in politics about

1:43:31 > 1:43:34having a tough skin. I just think the Jungle will be a whole heap

1:43:34 > 1:43:42tougher.She's not the first politician to do this kind of thing.

1:43:42 > 1:43:48No, not the first politician and reality TV, most famously, most

1:43:48 > 1:43:52disturbingly for me would be George Galloway when he was in Big Brother,

1:43:52 > 1:43:56also leading Tories, who has been in I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here.

1:43:56 > 1:44:01Here is a look at why it is sometimes a bit uncomfortable.Now

1:44:01 > 1:44:12would you like me to be the cat? Yes, please. It's OK, don't be

1:44:12 > 1:44:32frightened. Come on, Kit Kat. Good cat. Yes. You stay there, I'll get

1:44:32 > 1:44:38you some milk and then I'll brush you, you like that, don't you? Good

1:44:38 > 1:44:48girl.

1:44:49 > 1:45:01Good pussycat. Delicious. Good girl. Good girl. You've got cream all over

1:45:01 > 1:45:07your whiskers. Good pussycat.

1:45:17 > 1:45:24What a good cutie! Yes! Has it been a trying day. Has it? You don't like

1:45:24 > 1:45:33it when lots of people come in, do you?How well baked is that? 20

1:45:33 > 1:45:42minutes. Pull off a leg and give it a try.Go on! You are doing it.

1:45:42 > 1:45:49Tastes just like chicken. My God. What am I doing?You can do it.

1:45:49 > 1:46:00You are doing it. This is really difficult.Go on.

1:46:00 > 1:46:07God, it's horrible! Got it. Well done.

1:46:07 > 1:46:14Amazing. It was disgusting.

1:46:14 > 1:46:19She did well, I have to say, seeing George Galloway again, I can't Eric.

1:46:19 > 1:46:27Cringeworthy.The gallery went on far too long with that clip.It is

1:46:27 > 1:46:31just terrific. Nadine Dorries has just tweeted supporting Kezia

1:46:31 > 1:46:37Dugdale, she says the political leaders need to wake up, she will

1:46:37 > 1:46:40have 12 million people looking at what she is doing and Kezia dad Dale

1:46:40 > 1:46:44has said one of the reasons she wants to go into the jungle is so

1:46:44 > 1:46:47she can describe the Labour Party values and how it's different. The

1:46:47 > 1:46:54Brexit chat did start in the jungle a couple of days ago, shop down by

1:46:54 > 1:46:58Stanley, they were asking him really good questions and he is not here

1:46:58 > 1:47:02but the political chat.But it depends whether the producers will

1:47:02 > 1:47:07edit it in a way that allows her to get the Labour Party message across.

1:47:07 > 1:47:13All the messages I've read about her going in have been pretty critical,

1:47:13 > 1:47:17people not impressed however Nigel says an opportunity to see a working

1:47:17 > 1:47:20politician engage with a wider audience will be better than

1:47:20 > 1:47:24watching PMQs which is just like a load of squabbling children. Louise

1:47:24 > 1:47:29Armstrong says good on her, getting the Labour Party message out to

1:47:29 > 1:47:33millions but it is controversial. The budget is coming up for the

1:47:33 > 1:47:38Scottish parties in December, she is supposed to be preparing for that,

1:47:38 > 1:47:44she says she will be back in time to prepare for that. Other MSPs are not

1:47:44 > 1:47:49happy she is taking three weeks off from her work, Neil Findlay and MSP

1:47:49 > 1:47:54called it utterly ridiculous, said it demeans politics and he is

1:47:54 > 1:47:59disappointed in the fact she is taking part.OK. I think Philip

1:47:59 > 1:48:04Hammond had a day, didn't he?The Chancellor? It's still being talked

1:48:04 > 1:48:13about, the Chancellor took time time to mention it.If they carry on like

1:48:13 > 1:48:17that there'll be plenty of others joining Kezia Dugdale and saying I'm

1:48:17 > 1:48:26Labour, get out of here!She has also said she is donating her pay,

1:48:26 > 1:48:32her MSP paid to a charity... For those three weeks. For those three

1:48:32 > 1:48:36weeks and an undisclosed portion of her fee for the programme to the

1:48:36 > 1:48:40same charity. I guess we just have to wait and see whether she can talk

1:48:40 > 1:48:47all the text and whether she can talk Labour.We will see. Thank you.

1:48:47 > 1:48:49Thank you for your views, keep them coming in.

1:48:49 > 1:48:51The Earth at night is getting brighter.

1:48:51 > 1:48:53A study of pictures has revealed that artificial light

1:48:53 > 1:48:55is growing brighter and more extensive every year.

1:48:55 > 1:48:57Between 2012 and 2016, the planet's artificially lit

1:48:57 > 1:49:02outdoor area grew by more than 2% per year.

1:49:02 > 1:49:05Scientists say a "loss of night" in many countries is having negative

1:49:05 > 1:49:14consequences for "flora, fauna, and human well-being".

1:50:57 > 1:50:59We can speak now to Dr Jon Bennie,

1:50:59 > 1:51:00Lecturer in Physical Geography

1:51:00 > 1:51:08from the University of Exeter who was involved in the study.

1:51:08 > 1:51:16Hello to you. Hello, Victoria.What impact does it

1:51:16 > 1:51:19have, this artificial light.It shows light has been growing by 2%

1:51:19 > 1:51:24per year and it has a range of impacts. We are losing our

1:51:24 > 1:51:29connection with the night sky, most of us cannot see the Milky Way from

1:51:29 > 1:51:33where we live, that's a basic connection with nature, losing

1:51:33 > 1:51:37connection with the environment, our ancestors, people are concerned.

1:51:37 > 1:51:43Astronomers are concerned, they are unable to see the night sky but it's

1:51:43 > 1:51:50quite likely this increase in artificial light up night is

1:51:50 > 1:51:53impacting our health because our circadian clocks, the internal

1:51:53 > 1:52:01clocks which regulate sleep and wake cycles and regulate recovery and

1:52:01 > 1:52:08cell recovery and health and the sort of rhythm of melatonin

1:52:08 > 1:52:14production in our bodies is disrupted by quite low levels of

1:52:14 > 1:52:16light and as we eliminate our nocturnal environment and try and

1:52:16 > 1:52:20make it more like they had has the potential for quite serious health

1:52:20 > 1:52:26effects.We don't sleep as well and that is bad for us?Absolutely.

1:52:26 > 1:52:32Certainly sleep is a big thing but it's more than just sleep, it's the

1:52:32 > 1:52:37physiology, the biochemical physiology required, the 24-hour

1:52:37 > 1:52:42cycle of light and darkness and we don't get that, but can disrupt our

1:52:42 > 1:52:51physiology.What about the effects on land and animals?Artificial

1:52:51 > 1:52:57light, light is key for all kinds of light -- life, a Graham DeLaet

1:52:57 > 1:53:03clocks and animals, they know what time of day it is, the time of year,

1:53:03 > 1:53:10the days get longer in spring, shorter in the autumn, a series of

1:53:10 > 1:53:14animals use the night sky to navigate, done because, we have

1:53:14 > 1:53:22learned, do that.Sorry, tell me how, I should know this but tell me

1:53:22 > 1:53:27how done because I navigated by the Milky Way.It was quite a neat study

1:53:27 > 1:53:31in South Africa, by some research is, they figured out by doing

1:53:31 > 1:53:36experiments in a planetarium, they could switch on and off, they

1:53:36 > 1:53:42discovered Dung beetles, African Dung beetles use the broad band of

1:53:42 > 1:53:45light from the Milky Way to orientate themselves and make sure

1:53:45 > 1:53:50they keep walking in a straight line. Wow! We know so little about

1:53:50 > 1:53:57how animals use light in such a variety of ways.

1:53:57 > 1:54:01Absolutely fascinating. Thank you so much for speaking to us. And for

1:54:01 > 1:54:06telling us about the results of your study which is so important.

1:54:06 > 1:54:09We've had a huge response to our film about Bradley Grimes -

1:54:09 > 1:54:13we'll read some of your messages in just a moment -

1:54:13 > 1:54:16but first let's have a look again at his story -

1:54:16 > 1:54:18Bradley is 23 and from Middlesbrough - he's been homeless

1:54:18 > 1:54:21for most of his adult life, has autism, a brain tumour and has

1:54:21 > 1:54:23the mental age of a child.

1:54:23 > 1:54:28His situation became so desperate, that he stood up in court and asked

1:54:28 > 1:54:29a judge to send him to prison.

1:54:29 > 1:54:36We met him after he'd been released and helped into supported housing.

1:54:59 > 1:55:01This is the alleyway where where I used to sit.

1:55:01 > 1:55:05I used to sit in the middle so it was away from the shops.

1:55:05 > 1:55:06Just asking people for money.

1:55:06 > 1:55:08Basically, all they've done is placed an anti-social

1:55:08 > 1:55:10behaviour order on me to try to stop me from begging.

1:55:10 > 1:55:13But I have to in order to survive.

1:55:22 > 1:55:25Yeah, I used to sit down here like this.

1:55:26 > 1:55:28Just sit on the floor here.

1:55:28 > 1:55:30What happened?

1:55:30 > 1:55:33Well, CCTV picks you up and they dispatch either the police

1:55:33 > 1:55:36or the street wardens.

1:55:36 > 1:55:38If the police come, you're arrested.

1:57:14 > 1:57:19appropriate accommodation. We did ask the Council for a statement and

1:57:19 > 1:57:23we have yet to hear back from them. Read on Facebook says it is

1:57:23 > 1:57:26disgraceful, this child has been thrown away by society, it makes me

1:57:26 > 1:57:31feel sick to my stomach and terrifies me as to what the future
