The BBC reveals the salaries of its highest paid stars | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
after being forced to disclose those on more than ?150,000. | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
Chris Evans tops a male-dominated list with a salary of | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
The BBC's Director General defended the figures. | :00:15. | :00:21. | |
What we've managed to do is always pay our talent | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
People come here because they want to come and work here. | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
We'll bring you the details and ask what the fallout from these | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
A major clean-up operation in the Cornish village | :00:35. | :00:38. | |

People here say they are determined to be back to normal as quickly as | :00:42. | :00:55. | |
possible but there is an awful lot of repair work that has to be done | :00:56. | :00:57. | |

to the BBC News at One. The BBC has disclosed | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
the salaries of its top stars after being compelled to do | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
so by the government. Chris Evans is the highest paid | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
on the list with a salary of more Gary Lineker earns over | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
?1.75 million, and Graham Norton over 850,000 though | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
that figure doesn't The disclosure has divided opinion, | :02:24. | :02:25. | |
with some saying it's unfair on the corporation, | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
others questioning the BBC's There's also criticism that only | :02:29. | :02:30. | |
a third of the names The BBC's Director General | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
justified the salaries, saying the corporation had to work | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
in a very competitive market. Our Media Correspondent | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
David Sillito reports. The pay deals of the BBC's top stars | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
are no longer a secret. Graham Norton received | :02:46. | :02:49. | |

list, Chris Evans. We are the ultimate | :03:10. | :03:12. | |
public company, I think. And therefore I think | :03:13. | :03:15. | |
it is probably on balance right and proper that people | :03:16. | :03:18. | |
know what we get paid. The best paid BBC actor | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
is Derek Thompson, Charlie from Other actors paid by independent | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
companies do not appear. Also some stars such | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
as Graham Norton also have deals not on the list | :03:35. | :03:37. | |
with independent firms. But it does give a snapshot | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
of the level of top pay. More than ?700,000 for Jeremy Vine, | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
Stephen Nolan from BBC Ulster, more However, the BBC says it has | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
been cutting top pay, dropping more than 10% | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
over the last 12 months. We are constantly working | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
at ensuring that we get the balance right between our public, | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
who want to have great shows headed by stars and great presenters, | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
and then also wanting to know that their money, | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
and it is their money, public money, And over the last two or three | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
years, yes, some key presenters and others | :04:15. | :04:22. | |
have taken pay cuts. And it is not just the size | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
of the pay deals that The BBC has set itself targets | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
for gender equality and yet, when you look at the list, | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
two thirds of the names are men. But it is Claudia | :04:36. | :04:38. | |
Winkleman who is the highest-paid woman for Strictly | :04:39. | :04:47. | |
and other programmes, But many questions will be asked | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
about what appears to be gaps in pay deals between male | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
and female presenters. There is discrimination | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
and unfairness against women. But I think although | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
everyone will think it is very unfair and outrageous, | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
this is now a moment However one argument | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
against revealing the salaries is that some presenters may now | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
think they have a good case But the former culture secretary | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
who enforced this new openness has no doubts | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
about the process. If you consider that ?150,000 | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
represents the licence fee of 1,000 households, | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
then I think the public are entitled to know that is how | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
their money is being spent. This talent bill has | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
been dropping, but viewers and listeners now | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
have a much clearer picture What are the likely consequences | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
of this disclosure? Well, as the excellent report went | :05:43. | :06:01. | |
into, this is in essence a list of names and numbers and first of all | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
people will take these numbers and say, oh my goodness, this person is | :06:07. | :06:09. | |
paid this much, that's shocking. Then they will question whether this | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
report is complete because there are lots of people not on this list | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
because they're paid by independent production companies and some people | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
on the list like Graham Norton who get lots of money from the BBC | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
because they are also paid by independent production companies. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
The broader issues are about gender equality. Is the BBC in 2017 doing | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
nearly enough to make sure its top on their and on-screen talent | :06:34. | :06:41. | |
getting paid the same as men? People said this will cause people to us | :06:42. | :06:47. | |
the pay rises and other broadcasters will try to sweep in for this | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
talent. If that doesn't happen, maybe next year's annual report will | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
get even more numbers and even more transparency. | :06:56. | :06:57. | |
A big clean-up operation is taking place in Cornwall | :06:58. | :06:59. | |
after flash floods swept through the village of Coverack | :07:00. | :07:01. | |
There were three hours of torrential downpours last night, | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
and a number of people had to be rescued from the roofs of their | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
Residents reported hailstones the size of 50 pence pieces, | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
and the village was divided in two by a four foot torrent of water. | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
Our correspondent Jon Kay has travelled to the village and fishing | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
port to see the extent of the damage. | :07:20. | :07:28. | |
What a mess. This was the main road into the village of Coverack until | :07:29. | :07:36. | |
it was ripped apart. Just look at it now. And this is why. Heavy rain | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
Centre forefoot torrent of water thundering down the hills into the | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
harbour yesterday afternoon sweeping away everything in its wake. There | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
was so much power it forced down this metal barrier. Mary has found | :07:57. | :08:04. | |
her elderly mother's walking frame among the pile of debris. Next to it | :08:05. | :08:10. | |
even her kitchen sink. What is it like to see it all here? | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Devastating. It is really devastating. We can't put it back. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
We've just got to get on and carry on and do what we can and get back | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
to normal. We're Cornish, that's what we do! Mud and cobbles can be | :08:26. | :08:34. | |
swept up but major structural repairs are also needed. At this | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
time of year, there would normally be thousands of holiday-makers | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
driving down this road every day to get to the harbour. But it's going | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
to be awhile before anyone can down here. The roads are going to take a | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
while to get back into action properly but we're working with | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
other agencies to make sure that happen as soon as possible. Two | :08:55. | :09:00. | |
pensioners had to be winched to safety by the coastguard helicopter | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
as their home filled with floodwater. They couldn't get us out | :09:04. | :09:09. | |
of the window out the backs so they took out the front. The dishwasher | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
was floating around the middle of the kitchen. The washing machine | :09:14. | :09:18. | |
bouncing up and down like a boat and the bookcase with all the cookery | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
books fell over. It was terrible. This stretch of the Cornish coast is | :09:26. | :09:31. | |
well used to bad weather but it was the speed, the intensity and the | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
localised nature of this storm that took many people by surprise. How is | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
the clean-up going, bring us up to date. You've seen the shovels and | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
brushes and even the big trucks used to clear the debris in the harbour | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
itself, the showpiece of this village, that is what is on all the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
postcards, and that is what they are concentrating on but also clearing | :09:57. | :09:59. | |
the beach which is a mess and checking the harbour wall. But it is | :10:00. | :10:04. | |
that road I showed you on the far side of the village, that is the | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
thing concerning the structural engineers who are trying to assess | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
it at the moment and local people because it is a lifeblood bringing | :10:12. | :10:15. | |
in tourists, it is a crucial artery for people. There is another road | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
but it is narrow and steep and much less easy to use said people here | :10:21. | :10:22. | |
desperately waiting to find out what is going to be the deal, how long it | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
is going to take to repair it. There's a care home on the other | :10:28. | :10:31. | |
side of the village. The older people have suffered a power cut and | :10:32. | :10:35. | |
the lane to the building has been cut off. They are trying to get a | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
generator in so they're going to have to get the older people out but | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
that's another one of the things in this village concerning the | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
community as they try to work out what happens next. I've seen some | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
visitors coming down and taking pictures, holiday-makers, not the | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
kind of tourism this village was hoping to have or would want to have | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
that might fill the gap for a moment but it seems a cruel start to the | :11:00. | :11:01. | |
summer season here. Many thanks. Theresa May and the Labour leader | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
Jeremy Corbyn have clashed over the issue of pay in the last | :11:06. | :11:07. | |
Prime Minister's Questions before Mr Corbyn said low pay is a "threat | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
to an already weakening economy," and accused Mrs May | :11:11. | :11:15. | |
of being "out of touch." The Prime Minister hit back | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
with an attack on Labour's spending policies, claiming the last | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
Labour government had Our Assistant political | :11:21. | :11:22. | |
editor Norman Smith So, it was evidently | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
a rowdy last session, once again over pay, | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
how would you assess the mood as Mps You're right. It was a bit of a | :11:31. | :11:42. | |
rough house today but they always are these end of common sessions | :11:43. | :11:46. | |
before the summer break as the rival leaders tried to send their MPs home | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
with a spring in their step. More important for Mrs May because Tory | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
MPs have been like the glance, down in the dumps, arms folded following | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
the bad election result. Today much more on the front foot, bellowing | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
their support for Mrs May which underlines what appears to be a bit | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
of a backlash among Tory MPs against those big beasts in the Cabinet who | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
have been manoeuvring against her. In part for selfish reasons they | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
want to avoid a contest which might mean a general election threatening | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
their seats. In part they've taken a look at the rival contenders and | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
taken the view they wouldn't do much better than Mrs May. As for Jeremy | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
Corbyn, it was those tensions he seized on today's saying the | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
bickering and backbiting amongst ministers was making it impossible | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
for them to tackle low pay and poverty. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
The Prime Minister's lack of tact with reality goes like this. Low pay | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
in Britain is holding people back at a time of rising housing costs, | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
rising food prices and rising transport costs. It threatens | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
people's living standards and rising consumer debt and falling savings | :13:00. | :13:02. | |
threatens our economic stability. Why doesn't the Prime Minister | :13:03. | :13:08. | |
understands that low pay is a threat to an already weakening economy? The | :13:09. | :13:17. | |
best route out of poverty is through work and what we now see is | :13:18. | :13:26. | |
hundreds... It is! Order, order! The question has been asked, the pro | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
minister's answer must, and however long it takes, it will be heard. The | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
Prime Minister. The best route out of poverty is work, so over the last | :13:36. | :13:42. | |
seven years we've seen 3 million more jobs being created in our | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
economy. As for the two leaders, how do they leave for the summer break? | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is on a bit of a role, he will carry on where he left off, | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
he is going to be on the campaign Trail visiting numerous marginal | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
seats. Theresa May? I suspect she will just be grateful to crawl over | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
the finish line, go on a walking holiday with her husband, and hope | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
when she comes back some of the steam will have gone out of this | :14:11. | :14:13. | |
leadership speculation. Many thanks. President Trump has dismissed | :14:14. | :14:15. | |
as fake news reports of a secret meeting between him and the Russian | :14:16. | :14:17. | |
president Vladimir Putin But the White House has admitted | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
that the two men had met privately for a brief discussion, | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
with only a translator present. Let's go live now to Washington and | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
our correspondent Gary O'Donoghue. How has news of this | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
meeting gone down? Well, I think with some surprise. It | :14:32. | :14:43. | |
wasn't exactly a private or secret meeting. It took place at a dinner | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
at the G20 in Germany and what seems to have happened is that President | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
Robert was sat next to the Japanese Prime Minister at some point during | :14:54. | :14:56. | |
the meal he wandered over to sit somewhere near Vladimir Putin who | :14:57. | :14:59. | |
was actually sitting next to his wife and it seems they had a | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
discussion which some people put at an hour-long so it wasn't just, | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
"What do you think of the sorbet? Is quote and the problem people have | :15:11. | :15:15. | |
here is what was discussed? There was no American translator present, | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
there is no record of it and they are worried Donald Trump may have | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
said things, may have been persuaded to do things and believe things by | :15:23. | :15:27. | |
Vladimir Putin and that there is no record of them in the American | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
system. That is what is bothering people. They had two hours of formal | :15:31. | :15:35. | |
discussions earlier on in the same day. | :15:36. | :15:36. | |
And there's been a hasty invitation to lunch | :15:37. | :15:38. | |
at the White House for Republican members of the Senate, why? | :15:39. | :15:47. | |
He's feeding senators quite a lot at the moment. They were there for | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
lunch and dinner on Monday, too. This is a way to look forward on | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
health care. The replacement plan for health care has fallen for | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
Senate. We know Senators are not even prepared to repeal current | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
system, so the repeal and replace has disappeared. What will they do | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
now? That is the question they will chew over this lunchtime. Many | :16:12. | :16:12. | |
thanks. From January, businesses will be | :16:13. | :16:13. | |
banned from charging fees on transactions made by debit | :16:14. | :16:15. | |
and credit card. It follows a directive | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
from the European Union to end the charges often imposed | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
by airlines, food delivery The Treasury says the fees | :16:21. | :16:22. | |
cost consumers ?473 For years consumers have been used | :16:23. | :16:43. | |
for you -- often charge for using their debit or credit card. 3% extra | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
on flight B and 2% extra on Ryanair and Norwegian. Fancy a late night | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
takeaway, applications such as hungry house and just eat at 50p for | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
card payments. But as of January thanks to European directive, such | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
charges will be banned. It is great, these rules put an end to | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
surcharging on American Express and PayPal as well as Visa and | :17:10. | :17:11. | |
MasterCard. That is further than the government had to go so good news | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
for consumers. It costs companies money to process payments, 5p for | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
debit card payments according to figures from last year and 16p for | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
credit cards. Up until now some companies have passed significantly | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
higher costs on to consumers. Including the DVLA which charges ?2 | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
50 for each card transaction. 77% of all retail sales in the UK are made | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
using cards. So it is the predominant way to pay and therefore | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
it is quite right that consumers should not be charged for the | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
privilege of paying in the way they want to. Surcharges will cease but | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
it will be open to friends to recoup the costs they incur by other means. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |

Because they didn't have to do that if they didn't want to. | :19:16. | :19:24. | |
After losing his hands and feet to infection at just two years old, | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
Zion Harvey was eight when the ten hour pioneering transplant | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
But it was then that the real work began. | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
Months and months of tough rehabilitation. | :19:35. | :19:37. | |
He remains a remarkable young man because here we have had | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
weeks of hospitalisation, a daily request for him to interact, | :19:49. | :19:50. | |
To interface and again there has never been one | :19:51. | :19:57. | |
iota of resistance or, I don't want to today | :19:58. | :19:59. | |
His body has tried eight times to reject the new hands. | :20:00. | :20:09. | |
But a mix of immunosuppression drugs and hard work means he is making | :20:10. | :20:11. | |
Now I can get a snack from the fridge without | :20:12. | :20:24. | |
He has become this independent person that does not need me | :20:25. | :20:31. | |
Oh my goodness, he's not going to need me next year! | :20:32. | :20:45. | |
Here we have Muhammad Ali and Ray Lewis. | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
Tests have shown his brain is creating pathways for controlling | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
There's still a long way to go but Zion is | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
If any kid is watching this, and you're going through a rough | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
time, never give up on what you're doing. | :21:13. | :21:14. | |
The former Eastenders actor Paul Nicholls is recovering | :21:15. | :21:25. | |
in hospital after being seriously injured in an accident in Thailand. | :21:26. | :21:31. | |
Nicholls broke both his legs and smashed one of his kneecaps | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
after falling down a waterfall on the island of Koh Samui. | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
He was trapped for three days before being rescued, | :21:37. | :21:39. | |
after his abandoned motorcycle was spotted nearby. | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived | :21:44. | :21:45. | |
in Germany for the second part of their tour in Europe. | :21:46. | :21:48. | |
The Royal couple, who are travelling with their children Prince George | :21:49. | :21:50. | |
and Princess Charlotte, are meeting with the German | :21:51. | :21:52. | |
Chancellor Angela Merkel, before making a visit to Berlin's | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
most famous landmark, the Brandenburg Gate. | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
The charity Mencap says demands to backdate pay for care workers | :22:03. | :22:05. | |
who sleep at their place of work could bring the sector | :22:06. | :22:07. | |
It says a change in the pay rules will cost a total | :22:08. | :22:16. | |
The government says it's considering the issue carefully. | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
Just explain why the change has come about. It is all about care workers | :22:21. | :22:32. | |
who sleep in as it is known at the accommodation of someone they are | :22:33. | :22:38. | |
looking after with serious living to -- disabilities. For years the | :22:39. | :22:41. | |
government allowed the provider of the carer to pay a basic lump sum | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
for that overnight of say ?30. A little bit more if the care worker | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
was disturbed in the night. But after a couple of Employment | :22:52. | :22:55. | |
Tribunal is the government changed tack and said no they must be paid | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
at least minimum wage for those hours, which could be double the | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
basic lump sum. HMRC Revenue and Customs has started to go suit some | :23:04. | :23:06. | |
of the care providers for back pay going back six years which could | :23:07. | :23:13. | |
total ?400 million. Mencap one of the largest providers says it will | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
be absolutely punitive, some will be put in danger of insolvency. The | :23:17. | :23:19. | |
smaller charities that provide the care of. And the losers will be the | :23:20. | :23:24. | |
180,000 people with learning disabilities who may struggle to | :23:25. | :23:28. | |
find the right level of care. The unions support back payment of the | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
minimum wage, they say it is only what care workers deserve. But they | :23:34. | :23:36. | |
say is a matter for government which is what Mencap are saying, they said | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
the government should pay and ?40 million is a lot of money. The | :23:44. | :23:46. | |
government says it is considering it carefully. | :23:47. | :23:48. | |
The leading economic research group, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, | :23:49. | :23:50. | |
says that inequality in the UK has fallen in the decade | :23:51. | :23:53. | |
The IFS says the gap between the richest and poorest | :23:54. | :23:56. | |
households has narrowed, with the most noticeable | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
The group also found wide regional variations in average incomes. | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
The main reason in recent years of narrowing inequality is due | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
to the falling earnings, as well as some | :24:07. | :24:07. | |
Those falling earnings are not a good thing. | :24:08. | :24:22. | |
Although there have been increases in earnings for lower paid people. | :24:23. | :24:24. | |
And part of that is a result of the national living wage, | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
which has increased essentially the minimum wage for | :24:28. | :24:29. | |
So that is pushing up earnings at least at the moment | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
Detailed maps of the ocean floor taken during the search for | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
the missing Malaysia Airlines Flight MH370 have been | :24:38. | :24:39. | |
The plane vanished three years ago en route to Beijing | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
from Kuala Lumpur, with 239 people on board. | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
Although the plane has never been found and the Indian Ocean | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
search ended in January, it's thought the images could help, | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
as they show the ocean bed in clear detail. | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
For three years Australian led a multinational search for Flight | :24:54. | :25:14. | |
MH370, beneath some of the most inhospitable waters on earth. | :25:15. | :25:16. | |
But the search has produced a trove of high resolution maps that reveal | :25:17. | :25:20. | |
Never before have some of the secrets of the southern | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
Indian Ocean been shown in such detail. | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
There are undersea mountains taller than Mount Everest, | :25:28. | :25:29. | |
and a valley dotted with volcanoes that runs for hundreds | :25:30. | :25:31. | |
The data released online by Geoscience Australia | :25:32. | :25:43. | |
could have many uses for fishermen and researchers. | :25:44. | :25:45. | |
It could help to increase the knowledge of rich fisheries | :25:46. | :25:54. | |
and the prehistoric movement of the southern continents. | :25:55. | :25:56. | |
The way that deep sea mountains help to reduce the destructive power | :25:57. | :25:59. | |
of tsunamis might also be studied in greater detail. | :26:00. | :26:01. | |
The mission to find the Malaysian jet that vanished en route | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
to Beijing with 239 passengers and crew was suspended earlier this | :26:05. | :26:06. | |
year much to the dismay of relatives of those on board. | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
Australia says the search would only resume if there | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
was credible new evidence about the plane's whereabouts. | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
The women's football Euro 2017 tournament starts | :26:17. | :26:26. | |
tonight in the Netherlands, with England and Scotland | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
starting their campaigns playing each other this evening in Utrecht. | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
Here's our sports correspondent Katie Gornall. | :26:35. | :26:38. | |
There are certain things you expect from the Netherlands, | :26:39. | :26:40. | |
But while football is also full of well trodden assumptions, | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
Scotland are here for a start, while England | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
For the first time in years, England expects. | :26:51. | :27:00. | |
We want to use that as a positive, seize an opportunity to exploit | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
If we did bring this trophy back, a major championship | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
for an English football team, on the back of what has been a great | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
summer for all of our junior teams, it would be the icing on the cake. | :27:12. | :27:15. | |
And for the women's game, allow us to take it to the next level. | :27:16. | :27:18. | |
England's history at the Euros is a chequered one. | :27:19. | :27:21. | |
In 2009 they were runners-up to Germany. | :27:22. | :27:22. | |
But fell apart at the tournaments four years ago in Sweden | :27:23. | :27:25. | |
That failure led to a change in coach. | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
Under Mark Sam Samson they finished third at the 2015 | :27:29. | :27:49. | |
and arrive here fitter than ever before. | :27:50. | :27:51. | |
Scotland have made history just by being here. | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
This is their first major tournament. | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
But they are without a number of their key players including | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
the world-class Arsenal midfielder Kim Little. | :27:58. | :27:58. | |
They have put so much into the team to help us to this point, | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
we would just love them to experience this. | :28:03. | :28:04. | |
But they're not here and that brings us closer together as a team. | :28:05. | :28:07. | |
Adversity, yeah, but we will face that head on. | :28:08. | :28:09. | |
While Scotland's players are preparing for the biggest | :28:10. | :28:11. | |
game of their careers, England's have been brushing up | :28:12. | :28:13. | |
Everyone knows that rivalry, that battle. | :28:14. | :28:16. | |
Yesterday we had a meeting, it was kind of a history | :28:17. | :28:19. | |
Because we all know yes, there is this rivalry, | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
So we had a sit down and if my history lessons would have | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
been like that in school, I think I would have | :28:27. | :28:29. | |
History favours Germany, who have won the past six | :28:30. | :28:32. | |
But this is a country with its own footballing folklore. | :28:33. | :28:35. | |
England and Scotland will hope it is also | :28:36. | :28:37. | |
A single in Spanish called Despacito has become | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
the most-streamed song of all time, just six months | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
It's currently at Number One in the UK, and has been played | :28:46. | :28:49. | |
4.6 billion times worldwide, overtaking Justin Bieber's Sorry. | :28:50. | :28:55. | |
Despacito's singer Luis Fonsi called its success "insane", | :28:56. | :28:57. | |
saying he just "wants to make people dance". | :28:58. | :28:59. | |
# Despacito... In English Despacito moves slowly but the rise of this | :29:00. | :29:17. | |
song has been anything but. In just six months it has been played 4.6 | :29:18. | :29:20. | |
billion times on streaming services like Spotify and Apple music. I love | :29:21. | :29:29. | |
it, I sing it every day. It is not my cup of tea. But it is very | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
relaxed. 4.6 billion times. Are you one of those people? No! It has | :29:37. | :29:43. | |
become a break-out song for Starc Luis Fonsi giving him a global hit | :29:44. | :29:49. | |
nearly 20 years into his career. I still do not go to bed saying I had | :29:50. | :29:53. | |
the biggest on the world, I was just lucky to have that song at the | :29:54. | :29:58. | |
correct time and just break it open. Originally released in January, | :29:59. | :30:03. | |
Despacito really Court One when pop star Justin Bieber heard it in a | :30:04. | :30:06. | |
nightclub and asked to record a new verse. The head of universal records | :30:07. | :30:11. | |
says the success of the song shows how streaming is changing music. | :30:12. | :30:15. | |
Streaming is and will continue to open up music from Latin American | :30:16. | :30:20. | |
artists globally. It is also injecting new life into the music | :30:21. | :30:26. | |
industry, revenues going up after a 15 year downturn. So in Latin | :30:27. | :30:30. | |
America and elsewhere artists will be hoping to recreate the Despacito | :30:31. | :30:32. | |
phenomenon. We had some very lively | :30:33. | :30:43. | |
thunderstorms last night, these pictures were captured in Essex. | :30:44. | :30:50. | |
Some great lightning displays. And yesterday we had severe storms | :30:51. | :30:53. | |
bringing damaging floods to Coverack. Over a month of rain fell | :30:54. | :31:01. | |
in the space of just three hours creating that four foot wall of | :31:02. | :31:06. | |
water. But lightning has since been the big talking point. About 200,000 | :31:07. | :31:12. | |
lightning strikes in the past day alone so chances are if you live | :31:13. | :31:15. | |
across England and Wales you may have heard some of those storms | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
overnight. Some spectacular pictures being sent to us as well. More | :31:21. | :31:25. | |
storms on the way today, they could pop up across parts of North Wales, | :31:26. | :31:30. | |
north-west England, the North Midlands. They could be capable of | :31:31. | :31:35. | |
bringing around half a month of rain in the space of half an hour or so. | :31:36. | :31:40. | |
So think about flash flooding, dangerous driving conditions. A lot | :31:41. | :31:45. | |
of cloud around and things beginning to cool off. Overnight the storms | :31:46. | :31:49. | |
moved north, rain moving from Northern Ireland into Scotland. Some | :31:50. | :31:54. | |
damp weather pushing east across Wales and England. Humid across | :31:55. | :32:00. | |
eastern England, 18 degrees but fresh air into Northern Ireland with | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
temperatures in Belfast at 11. Tomorrow a different feeling day, | :32:05. | :32:09. | |
the Atlantic wind pushing in, pushing the rain out of the way from | :32:10. | :32:14. | |
England and also northern Scotland. A fresher feel following, | :32:15. | :32:18. | |
temperatures significantly lower than they have been. Rain getting | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
into Northern Ireland, the breeze picking up, and that is a sign of | :32:23. | :32:25. | |
what is to come because low pressure like it or not will be with us | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
through Friday and into the weekend to the early part of next week. And | :32:30. | :32:33. | |
around that area is rain circulating. So Friday looking | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
something like this, slow-moving rain, some fairly brisk wind making | :32:38. | :32:44. | |
it feel quite cool as well. Northern Scotland and eastern England having | :32:45. | :32:50. | |
some sunshine. A little on the cool side across western areas, 16 for | :32:51. | :32:56. | |
Belfast, 17 problem. Not exactly the temperatures we would normally see | :32:57. | :33:01. | |
at this stage of the year. For the weekend low pressure is going | :33:02. | :33:04. | |
nowhere fast. That means it stays cloudy through the weekend, showers | :33:05. | :33:09. | |
or lengthy spells of rain and remaining pretty cool for the time | :33:10. | :33:10. | |
of year. That's all from the BBC News at One | :33:11. | :33:17. | |
- so it's goodbye from me - | :33:18. | :33:21. |
