Prison reform tops the Queen's Speech. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Ministers plan the biggest shake-up in England and Wales | :00:07. | :00:08. | |
We're inside Wandsworth - one of Europe's biggest prisons. | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Overcrowding, drugs, violence, corruption - | :00:14. | :00:14. | |
They're so short staffed in here, this place can't run. | :00:15. | :00:23. | |
Even a lot of the staff in here are in fear. | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
And with good reason - prison officers tell us | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
there just aren't enough of them and they're stressed. | :00:33. | :00:37. | |
I think I am probably the most stressed that I have been | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
We'll be hearing from the man in charge of the planned reforms, | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
We'll have the rest of the Queen's Speech. | :00:48. | :00:51. | |

Hello and welcome to the BBC News at Six. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
A radical reform of the prison system in England and | :01:44. | :01:45. | |
Wales was at the heart of the Queen's Speech today. | :01:46. | :01:48. | |
Ministers are describing it as the biggest shake-up | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
The legislation will pave the way for the first six reform prisons - | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
places where governors will be given sweeping new powers. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
One of them is Wandsworth Prison, where the BBC has gained exclusive | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
Our correspondent, Ed Thomas, has spent the last week there. | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
He reports on a prison where drug-fuelled violence is rife | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
This is Wandsworth. The BBC has been given unprecedented access inside a | :02:09. | :02:32. | |
British jail. Over seven days we saw the fear and violence. There is one | :02:33. | :02:37. | |
person under restraint. The wing looks secure. You have to defend | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
yourself. If you can't defend yourself, you will become a victim. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
The drugs feeding addiction inside. Is it easy to get cannabis? It is, | :02:47. | :02:52. | |
it is, it is. And the prison officers pushed to the very edge. I | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
think I'm probably the most stressed I've been in 24 years in this job. | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
Run! It's the second alarm of the day. A prisoner has refused to go | :03:05. | :03:16. | |
back to his cell. 20 years ago the inmate in the middle of all of this | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
murdered a man in a fight. This is his 38th jail. We can't identify | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
him, but he told us he was trapped in a cycle of violence. I've had | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
warfare with politics in jail. I've got sliced down the side of the | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
face. Attacked by 15 people. Had me arm broke. Three broken bones in my | :03:34. | :03:41. | |
hands. I said you are putting me in a predicament where I have no | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
alternative but to utilise violence for my safety. They are so short | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
staffed here, this place can't run, it's unsafe. Even the staff here are | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
in fear. That smell of cannabis... Next B wing and the smell of | :03:57. | :04:04. | |
cannabis is everywhere. It's overwhelming, especially up here. | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
And here. And then we see it - a group smoking below us, in full | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
view. No-one cares, there is no order. How do you feel about people | :04:19. | :04:23. | |
smoking cannabis down there? Not good. There's going to be fights and | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
that. The officers are just here. Where can you get cannabis from? | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Everyone. If you want some cannabis I can get you some. You can get some | :04:33. | :04:41. | |
right now? Yeah. How do you feel hearing that? Obviously it is not | :04:42. | :04:45. | |
good, it defeats everything we can trying to do as a service. You don't | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
have to look far to find drugs in Wandsworth. Take Ashley, who has | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
only just arrived. He says all drugs are available at all times. You can | :04:58. | :05:06. | |
get spice, heroin, crack. Anything. All I've got to do is go down to the | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
twos, the threes, the ones and its there. Anything you like. Then | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
there's the alcohol brewed in cells. The spice, a synthetic legal high. | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
These wraps are worth ?8,000. And the mobile phones too, all smuggled | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
into Wandsworth. Smartphone, several hundred quid they go for retail | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
price. Who brings those phones? Officers, other prisoners. This | :05:38. | :05:42. | |
prisoner asked us not to show his face. He wanted to talk about | :05:43. | :05:45. | |
corruption. Are you just saying that though? Of course I'm not just | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
saying that. To get the officers in trouble. No, of course I'm not. They | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
charge you ?500 a parcel, the size of, say, three tennis balls full of | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
drugs, phones, whatever you want. Life in prison. The BBC was invited | :06:03. | :06:10. | |
here to hear these stories, to see the pressure from a Governor who's | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
demanding change. The one thing that I absolutely cannot stand, one of | :06:17. | :06:20. | |
the things I want to do with reform is to think very carefully about how | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
do we deal with those issues of corruption and what do we do to | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
tackle the staff bringing those drugs in. That will deal with some | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
of the issues you've highlighted and seen over the last week. But how | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
long will this prison reform take? The pressure inside is building now, | :06:37. | :06:42. | |
and ifs are getting hurt. At the moment he's been the victim of an | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
assault. My wife worries that I'm not going to come home. If she | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
could, she would have me out of the job. Wants worth has been Andy | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
Topin's life. For him it cannot get any worse. It's because I care. I | :06:58. | :07:02. | |
want to make a difference. I believe my staff want to make a difference. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
We are struggling. We haven't got the staff. What's happening to your | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
mental health? I don't think people care about what's happening to my | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
mental health. What is happening to your mental health? I think I'm | :07:18. | :07:20. | |
probably the most stressed I've been in 24 years in this job. What's | :07:21. | :07:26. | |
going to happen to you? If I'm like my colleagues I will retire and I | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
will die early. Andy desperately needs reform now. This prison | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
revolution, a promise to fix broken jails, and so many broken lives. Ed, | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
people are going to be shocked by those pictures. I guess it shows us | :07:49. | :07:49. | |
just how much reform is needed. Yes, George. This access is rare. To | :07:50. | :07:59. | |
walk down these corridors, to go into the cells and speak to the | :08:00. | :08:03. | |
inmates. But the Governor was determined to open up his jail to | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
show poem what life was like inside a British prison and the need for | :08:10. | :08:12. | |
change. Here they will lead this reform agenda. Here they say it's an | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
opportunity like never before to rehabilitate, to reduce reoffending, | :08:19. | :08:21. | |
and speak to the officers here. They will tell you that this matters, | :08:22. | :08:27. | |
because right now too many lives are being wasted, lost inside a prison | :08:28. | :08:29. | |
cell. Ed, thank you. Speaking to the BBC, Michael Gove, | :08:30. | :08:33. | |
the Justice Secretary, has admitted there are big problems | :08:34. | :08:35. | |
within the prison system and that some institutions in England | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
and Wales are not fit for purpose. Labour has welcomed the proposals | :08:39. | :08:42. | |
but said the Government had presided over a rise in the number | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
of prisoners and a huge Our special correspondent, | :08:46. | :08:48. | |
Lucy Manning, reports. What to do about prisons many say | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
are overcrowded, underfunded, So he thinks his new autonomous | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
jails will work. They will, I hope, be places | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
of rehabilitation, order, But as gangs fight over the supply | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
of drugs in Wandsworth's prison yard, it is clear they're a long way | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
from that. And he doesn't shy away | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
from a damning assessment. Your Chief Inspector of Prisons | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
says some prisons are not fit Why do you think they're not | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
fit for purpose? There are some prisons | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
which are not safe enough. Not safe enough | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
for prisoners or the dedicated staff | :09:36. | :09:36. | |
who work in them. Related to that, there are some | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
prisons simply not doing a good enough job in providing either | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
education or employment He admits the increase in drugs | :09:44. | :09:45. | |
and weapons is worrying. The startling footage of a drone | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
flying in a package of highly addictive legal highs and phones | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
into a prison cell is something the Justice Secretary saw when broadcast | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
by the BBC this week. What did you make of what you saw | :10:00. | :10:02. | |
from that footage? I thought the public will now | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
realise one of the big problems We're taking action now to deal | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
with the corruption that sometimes facilitates | :10:11. | :10:19. | |
getting these drugs into prison. But critics complain | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
there are too many people in jail So, part of Mr Gove's plan | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
is allowing people out to work. That means the prisoners can spend | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
time out of their cell and out of jail working for an employer, | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
learning what responsibility means and preparing for a useful | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
life on the outside. Will that be safe for | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
the wider public? He admits the rise in suicide | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
self-harm and violence could undermine his reforms but denies | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
funding and staffing numbers But he accepts too many | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
are re-offending. The whole point of having someone | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
in prison, the whole point of spending as much as parents spend | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
to send their kids to Eton on an individual every year, | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
is to change their lives. if we leave them banged up for hours | :11:12. | :11:13. | |
on end. It is only by transforming our | :11:14. | :11:17. | |
prisons that we will make this country | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
safer. That's why when people say, | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
this is a soft agenda and you're coddling prisoners, | :11:22. | :11:24. | |
they couldn't be more wrong. When you have drugs ordered in and | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
lifted up and over the prison walls, Mr Gove knows them but can anything | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
he does change them? So, as well as prison reform | :11:32. | :11:43. | |
in England and Wales, the Government has been setting out | :11:44. | :11:45. | |
the rest of its plans There were 21 bills in all, | :11:46. | :11:47. | |
including a shake-up of the adoption system, | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
plans to get money back from foreign visitors using the NHS, | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
and a legal right to fast broadband. But, as our political editor | :11:55. | :11:58. | |
Laura Kuenssberg reports, the day has been overshadowed by arguments | :11:59. | :12:00. | |
within the Conservative Party over The show must go on. And what a | :12:01. | :12:19. | |
show. However uncertain, the next five, however divided the governing | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
party, the gold shines as brightly as ever, the beat of the drum | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
unchanged. The Crown, that symbol of power so precious it has its own | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
carriage. Arriving first to be ready for the royal head. Then her | :12:39. | :12:47. | |
procession. On the 63rd occasion, the Queen proclaiming her | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Government's plans. CHEERING. For the first time at 90 | :12:53. | :13:03. | |
the monarch taking the lift. A different route into the Royal | :13:04. | :13:12. | |
Robing Room before the main event. This moment this year unique. Maybe | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
uniquely awkward. The Labour leader's first time at the front. | :13:18. | :13:21. | |
The Tory leader knows it just might be his last. So the proposals, | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
Ministers on both sides of the EU debate want you to think they're | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
still thinking about us all. My Government will use the opportunity | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
of a strengthening economy to deliver security for working people, | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
to increase life chances for the most disadvantaged. In these most | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
gilded of surroundings a plan for some of the worst. My Government | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
will elect to reform prisons and courts to give individuals a second | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
chance. There are plans to speed up adoptions and more support for | :14:00. | :14:04. | |
children in care. An education bill, with more academies in England and | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
new universities too, and a sugar tax on soft drinks. The Prime | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
Minister believes these plans show his ambition to help people politics | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
has forgotten, a one-nation Government, a claim his opponents | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
firmly reject. Reject. There'll be new laws to tackle extremism and | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
propose extra powers for the security services. Services. Awkward | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
for Labour, a bill to renew Trident, the nuclear weapons system. But look | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
who's watching, look who's waiting with. The referendum hangs over it | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
all. My Government will hold a referendum on membership of the | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
European Union. And that is precisely the point. Today hasn't | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
been short on ceremony. These occasions never are. But now the | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
Queen's headed back up to the Palace, in terms of brand-new ideas | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
it all feels rather empty. The referendum has put strain on the | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
Government, so it has avoided anything too controversial. Some of | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
the previous tricky ideas have actually disappeared. There was no | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
sign of a sovereignty bill, to appease those who want to leave the | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
EU, and only vague proposals for a British Bill of Rights to replace | :15:18. | :15:21. | |
the Human Rights Act. What's happening as a result of this is a | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
Government agenda has been parked, or even dropped. That seems to me | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
not to be the right thing to do. David Cameron was sticking to his | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
script This is a Queen's Speech that combines economic security with | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
extending life chances for all. It's the Queen's Speech of a progressive | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
one-nation Conservative Government. Jeremy Corbyn was far from | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
impressed. Whether you're in or out of the EU, the main obstacle holding | :15:50. | :15:54. | |
back to people of this country is not the EU but that Conservative | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
Government. When the Prime Minister talks about this being a one-nation | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
Queen's Speech we on these benches know which nation he is talking | :16:04. | :16:09. | |
about. These are strange times in Westminster. Parliament's most | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
significant event of the year might be soon forgotten. But perhaps | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
moments of big political risk require small ambition. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
And if you would like more details on all the measures | :16:25. | :16:26. | |
in the Queen's Speech, there are full details on our | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
An exclus zblnchts ive report into the chaos | :16:30. | :16:43. | |
The young British songwriters writing | :16:44. | :16:54. | |
Alastair Cook is on the brink of 10,000 Test runs. | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
He'd be the youngest batsman ever to the landmark. | :17:03. | :17:18. | |
Chief Superintendent David Duckenfield was match commander | :17:19. | :17:21. | |
as the Hillsborough disaster unfolded in April 1989. | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
The inquests into the tragedy found that his actions led to the unlawful | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
Now, for the first time since the inquests ended in April, | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
met him outside San Francisco International Airport. | :17:39. | :17:45. | |
David Duckenfield was on a family visit to the United States. | :17:46. | :17:48. | |
The BBC, like other news organisations, | :17:49. | :17:50. | |
have made repeated requests to talk to the retired officer | :17:51. | :17:53. | |
following the inquest's verdict last month. | :17:54. | :17:56. | |
due to the ongoing criminal inquiries, I am unable to comment. | :17:57. | :18:08. | |
Do you have any message for the families? | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
I've said what I have to say at the moment. | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
It was last month that the families of the 96 fans who died at | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
Hillsborough showed a jubilant sense of relief at the end of the inquest. | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
The jury concluded those who lost their lives were unlawfully killed. | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
David Duckenfield had been the match commander and the inquest | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
found him responsible for manslaughter by gross negligence. | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
He made what many families say was a belated apology at the inquest. | :18:42. | :18:46. | |
When I was at the coroner's court in Warrington, I gave a message. | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
But Mr Duckenfield knows the families want him to answer more | :18:50. | :18:55. | |
The Crown Prosecution Service has yet to make a decision on that. | :18:56. | :19:03. | |
But 27 years after this tragedy, David Duckenfield is aware | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
the inquest is unlikely to be his final involvement in Hillsborough. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
They believe both he and South Yorkshire Police | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
brought anguish to them for a quarter of a century | :19:16. | :19:19. | |
One of the 200 schoolgirls kidnapped by Boko Haram militants | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
Activists confirmed to the BBC that Amina Ali was found | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
by a vigilante group, close to the border with Cameroon. | :19:36. | :19:38. | |
If confirmed, she'll be the first of the schoolgirls to be found | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
After months of disagreement and unprecedented strike action, | :19:42. | :19:49. | |
a deal between junior doctors in England and the government | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
until it's put to junior doctors in a ballot. | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
The latest talks, lasting ten days, have been taking place | :19:59. | :20:00. | |
Do we have the details of this deal? George, we do. Let's remember, | :20:01. | :20:17. | |
discussions over this contract began three years ago. Then a dispute | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
erupted over it last autumn. We've had several strikes in hospitals in | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
England with junior doctors walking out. Over 35,000 operations and | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
procedures cancelled. Today, we have agreement between the Government and | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
the British Medical Association. That's a really big step forward | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
given how far apart they were even just a couple of weeks ago. The | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
Government feels it's got one of the key things it wanted it from this | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
new contract which was the principle you wouldn't automatically get more | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
pay as a doctor for working at weekends. They also say it will be | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
about a third less expensive for hospitals to bring doctors in at | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
weekends. The BMA say actually, a very large number of doctors working | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
more weekends than others will get premium pay at weekends. The BMA was | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
also keen to remove areas of the previous draft contract felt to be | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
discriminatory against women. That's been achieved in this contract. | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
There will be better provisions for women returning from maternity leave | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
getting back on to the career progression ladder. They've agreed | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
it. It now goes to a vote of all junior doctors across England for | :21:30. | :21:30. | |
their final say. Thank you. After a week of political wrangling | :21:31. | :21:32. | |
in the Welsh Assembly the Labour leader in Wales, | :21:33. | :21:35. | |
Carwyn Jones, The deal struck with Plaid Cymru | :21:36. | :21:37. | |
paves the way for Labour to form But leader Leanne Wood insisted | :21:38. | :21:42. | |
it was not a coalition deal but a one-off vote to allow | :21:43. | :21:46. | |
Mr Jones's nomination. as they take on Seville in | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
the Europa League Final in Basel. It's Liverpool's first European | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
final in nine years and victory in Basel would earn them a place | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
in next season's Champions League. Our sports correspondent | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
Joe Wilson reports. This is very much a European | :22:05. | :22:17. | |
football event in entitieser land. There are Liverpool supporters here | :22:18. | :22:22. | |
from all over the world. It is live pool's historical success which | :22:23. | :22:25. | |
raises expectations for the future. Tonight, the game against Sevilla is | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
an opportunity for them to feel they are still part of Europe's elite. | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
Many rivers exist simply to be crossed. | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
If you are Jurgen Klopp, the manager who does not feel doubt, | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
well, Liverpool finish the league season eighth. | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
For this season to be called a success, do you need a trophy? | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
It doesn't depend on my judgment, it depends on the public judgment. | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
I am pretty sure if we don't win the title, no one will | :22:54. | :22:56. | |
Basel's Functional football stadium only allocated around 9000 tickets | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
Liverpool, of course, are one of the best supported | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
football clubs in the world, so what to do here with | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
any fans who turned up without a ticket? | :23:13. | :23:14. | |
Basel has set up fan zones, which it hopes will accomodate everyone. | :23:15. | :23:23. | |
Absolutely atrocious that Uefa has chosen this venue. | :23:24. | :23:26. | |
They have allowed big clubs into the Europa League and they | :23:27. | :23:28. | |
This is a Swiss night to make a German's reputation. | :23:29. | :23:38. | |
Sevilla who lie in wait are trying to win this competition for the | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
third year in a row. As for the city, it's coping. Some recent | :23:44. | :23:47. | |
rain's helped to clear the streets. 9th big screen right now sensibly | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
showing some of Liverpool's recent greatest hits. | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
You've heard their songs but you probably don't know their names. | :23:55. | :23:57. | |
Some of the songwriters behind Britain's best-loved tunes will | :23:58. | :24:00. | |
be honoured for their talents at the Ivor Novello Awards tomorrow. | :24:01. | :24:03. | |
Together, they generate more than ?500 million a year. | :24:04. | :24:06. | |
Colleen Harris reports on two British success stories. | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
it doesn't get much bigger than Beyonce. | :24:12. | :24:23. | |
Carla Marie Williams, a youth worker from London, | :24:24. | :24:26. | |
pursued song writing as a career and it paid off. | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
# Nothing else had us, now you're not here, | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
When Running came out, I was in Westfield. | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
Someone was like, wow, Beyonce's just dropped a song. | :24:38. | :24:40. | |
I was like, oh, this is international now. | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
This isn't just about London or anything. | :24:48. | :24:50. | |
Being British, and clearly with something to say, | :24:51. | :24:58. | |
Beyonce called on Carla Marie for her latest album Lemonade. | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
# Freedom, freedom, I can't move, freedom cut me loose# | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
I think it's definitely opened doors, especially in America. | :25:10. | :25:12. | |
I feel they love what happens in the UK. | :25:13. | :25:15. | |
When you listen to Freedom and you listen to Running, | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
they are different to maybe what sometimes happens in the US. | :25:19. | :25:35. | |
We've fantastic music education and a history of 50 or 60 years | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
of fantastic writers such as the Beatles, | :25:41. | :25:43. | |
David Bowie, Kate Bush, Annie Lennox, Dizzee Rascal. | :25:44. | :25:47. | |
They act as role models for the next generation coming up. | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
Another Brit doing well in America is Bradford girl Teddy Sinclair. | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
She posted a song online and caught the attention of the right people. | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
she's penned songs for Madonna and, more recently, Rihanna. | :26:03. | :26:09. | |
# Waiting on that sunshine for I think I need that back# | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
I feel very lucky to work with Rihanna, | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
The most important feelings or thoughts or opinions I've had | :26:18. | :26:25. | |
that I've put into music are things they've also shared enough | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
to believe in it when they've listened to the song. | :26:30. | :26:31. | |
Despite their success, 80% of British songwriters are men. | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
So, creating workshops for female newcomers | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
Whether or not it's about emotion, heartbreak, politics, | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
always try and dig a little bit deeper. | :26:44. | :26:46. | |
Words to inspire the next generation. | :26:47. | :26:50. | |
# I keep running because a winner don't quit on theirselves.# | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
Time for a look at the weather. Here's Tomasz Schafernaker. | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
Didn't the heavens open today? It was so wet. I had the raincoat on, | :27:02. | :27:08. | |
the brolly was out. There's still hit and miss downpours around the | :27:09. | :27:11. | |
country this evening. A little later on, they'll start to fade away. | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
There will be fewer of them. We'll start to see drier weather coming | :27:17. | :27:20. | |
from the west. The lumpy clouds you can see here, these are the showers, | :27:21. | :27:25. | |
heavy downpours in places. They've occurred from southern parts through | :27:26. | :27:28. | |
Northern England to the low lands of Scotland. By the time we get to the | :27:29. | :27:34. | |
latter part of this evening, it starts to quieten down. We develop | :27:35. | :27:38. | |
mist over the country. First thing tomorrow morning, it will turn out | :27:39. | :27:42. | |
to be fairly cloudy. Quite murky for a time before that sunshine breaks | :27:43. | :27:47. | |
through the cloud. Tomorrow, a bit of a west/east split. We've sunshine | :27:48. | :27:51. | |
across many eastern and southern areas eventually. A little on the | :27:52. | :27:55. | |
hazy side. But also we've the rain sweeping off the Atlantic to affect | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
south-western parts of England and Wales. Particularly around Cumbria | :27:59. | :28:05. | |
and south western and central parts of Scotland. A mix of weather | :28:06. | :28:09. | |
tomorrow. As far as Friday's concerned, it looks pretty | :28:10. | :28:13. | |
unsettled. Low pressure close by. Unsettled doesn't mean it will be | :28:14. | :28:17. | |
raining all the time, just the weather changing a fair bit from | :28:18. | :28:21. | |
hour to hour perhaps across some areas. The west will have rain at | :28:22. | :28:25. | |
times in the afternoon. Eastern parts on Friday, the end of the | :28:26. | :28:28. | |
working week, looking fine. 20 in London. 16 in Newcastle with some | :28:29. | :28:33. | |
sunshine. Yesterday, we hinted the weekend is looking very unsettled | :28:34. | :28:36. | |
with a Natesy area of low pressure coming through. At the moment, it | :28:37. | :28:40. | |
looks like there is some rain on the way. It will splash through on | :28:41. | :28:44. | |
Friday night. The best advice at this stage, there will be some | :28:45. | :28:48. | |
sunshine this weekend. A bit of rain, a bit of a breeze. Keep the | :28:49. | :28:52. | |
brolly to hand just in case. Thank you. | :28:53. | :28:54. | |
