:00:21. > :00:23.A committee of MPs says Facebook, Twitter, and Google should face

:01:25. > :01:29.We'll find out about a new scheme aiming to change that.

:01:30. > :01:43.And Carol is out and about with the weather. Hello. Good morning from

:01:44. > :01:51.Truckfest. 40,000 are expected to see some amazing vehicles.

:01:52. > :01:56.Everything is in here. Outside it is raining. The forecast is some bright

:01:57. > :02:01.spells, rain, and a few showers. Brightest skies in Scotland and

:02:02. > :02:03.Northern Ireland, especially in the west. I will have more details in

:02:04. > :02:07.about 15 minutes. Thank you. Social media companies

:02:08. > :02:11.are being accused of a "shameful" failure to tackle on-line terrorist

:02:12. > :02:13.propaganda and hate speech. A report by a group of MPs claims

:02:14. > :02:16.sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Google put more effort

:02:17. > :02:19.into protecting their profits than keeping the public

:02:20. > :02:21.safe on line. The Home Affairs Select Committee

:02:25. > :02:36.Jonathan Blake reports. Twitter, Facebook, and Google. Big

:02:43. > :02:49.again of doing nowhere near enough to tackle illegal, abusive, or

:02:50. > :02:53.extremist posts. I think the richest and biggest companies in the world

:02:54. > :02:56.have both the ability and responsibility to make sure that

:02:57. > :03:00.this kind of illegal and dangerous material is removed to be I don't

:03:01. > :03:10.think they are taking this seriously enough and they need to. The MP

:03:11. > :03:15.suggested this. They proposed this as well. That is similar to the

:03:16. > :03:20.model used in football where clubs pay for policing on match days. All

:03:21. > :03:25.three companies criticised in the report defended their approach to on

:03:26. > :03:29.line safety and say they are committed to doing more. Facebook,

:03:30. > :03:33.Twitter, and Google all have ways to report things we see on line which

:03:34. > :03:38.may be illegal or inappropriate. The report from the MP criticises those

:03:39. > :03:43.companies for relying too much in uses and says they are effectively

:03:44. > :03:49.outsourcing policing with zero expense. -- users. This is not the

:03:50. > :03:53.first time they have been criticised for this. They have to continue

:03:54. > :03:57.balancing a platform for free speech and stopping those who abuse it.

:03:58. > :03:59.Jonathan Blake, BBC News. We'll be discussing this with social

:04:00. > :04:02.media expert Luc Delany just A man killed during an attempted

:04:03. > :04:07.burglary at a house in Dorset has 61-year-old, Guy Hedger,

:04:08. > :04:10.was shot as intruders entered the property in the early

:04:11. > :04:23.hours of Sunday morning. Police cordoned off a quiet

:04:24. > :04:27.cul-de-sac which has now become a murder scene. Officers were first

:04:28. > :04:34.called here after 3am yesterday. There were three more intruders in

:04:35. > :04:39.the houses. Police believe that Guy Hedger did not know them, but they

:04:40. > :04:49.shot him dead. The offenders went into steel and they shot him. --

:04:50. > :04:53.steal. He tragically died in hospital. We have launched a murder

:04:54. > :04:58.enquiry and ask anyone with information to come forward to help

:04:59. > :05:02.us. A second person who lived in the house was there at the time. They

:05:03. > :05:05.said they were left deeply affected by what happened and are now being

:05:06. > :05:12.cared for by specially trained officers. Police say that the area

:05:13. > :05:16.will remain cordoned off and there will be patrols today to offer

:05:17. > :05:19.reassurance to the community. They want to hear from anyone who saw

:05:20. > :05:25.anything suspicious. The key question is, what led to the

:05:26. > :05:29.shooting, and why Guy Hedger lost his life. The hunt for the killers

:05:30. > :05:35.continued. BBC News. -- continues. The organisation representing NHS

:05:56. > :05:57.but campaigning by all sides This morning, a pledge from Labour

:05:58. > :06:02.to clamp down on bad landlords, with tougher fines for those

:06:03. > :06:05.who fail to provide safe housing. Let's find out more from our

:06:06. > :06:07.political correspondent, Leila Nathoo, who's

:06:08. > :06:17.in our London newsroom. What more can you tell us about

:06:18. > :06:25.these particular proposals from Labour? This is Labour going after

:06:26. > :06:28.generation Rent. There are a lot of people in that group, up to 11

:06:29. > :06:33.million. They want to give tenants more rights and punish bad landlords

:06:34. > :06:42.to keep property in bad condition. They want a legal minimum standard

:06:43. > :06:45.on renting, like getting rid of damp and pests and stuff like that. They

:06:46. > :06:52.want councils to bring in licensing and bringing fines for up to

:06:53. > :06:58.?100,000 for ignoring the rules. They say it is better to target the

:06:59. > :07:04.bad landlords than having a broad licensing scream. They say it will

:07:05. > :07:08.be borne by the tenants. And there are already powers to crack down on

:07:09. > :07:15.rogue landlords. Renters are a big group. It is a target for both main

:07:16. > :07:19.parties. Expect to hear more about housing when we see the manifestoes

:07:20. > :07:22.later this month. Leila Nathoo, thank you very much.

:07:23. > :07:30.Later, we'll be speaking to the Shadow Housing Minister John Healey.

:08:01. > :08:06.The testing of primary school children, used to make important

:08:07. > :08:09.decisions about students, is damaging and should be reformed

:08:10. > :08:11.according to an influential group of MPs.

:08:12. > :08:14.The cross-party Education Select Committee says the way SATs results

:08:15. > :08:16.are used to judge schools, causes a negative impact

:08:17. > :08:29.Here's our education correspondent, Marc Ashdown.

:08:30. > :08:37.Even from a young age, children are well accustomed

:08:38. > :08:39.to being tested, but MPs are worried the importance placed nowadays

:08:40. > :08:42.on how children perform in isolated tests leads

:08:43. > :08:47.Results are used to judge schools in annual performance tables,

:08:48. > :08:50.which this Education Select Committee report has said can create

:08:51. > :08:56.a high-stakes environment, damaging to students and teachers.

:08:57. > :09:00.These Year 6 students are gearing up for their test.

:09:01. > :09:03.It is a good school in a challenging area of London.

:09:04. > :09:08.The reality is children at the age of ten or 11 are going to do

:09:09. > :09:12.an hour's test, which will evaluate their reading for four years.

:09:13. > :09:24.For us, as a school, it is high stakes too,

:09:25. > :09:28.As an alternative, a rolling three-year average

:09:29. > :09:41.Ofsted said it already looks for a broad curriculum.

:09:42. > :09:44.The Department for Education has said it will consider the report

:09:54. > :09:55.More than 50 people in hospital according to local authorities.

:09:56. > :09:58.The American midwest has been struck by an intensive weather system that

:09:59. > :10:01.has caused damage across several states, including neighbouring

:10:02. > :10:08.Missouri and Oklahoma, which are now in a state of emergency.

:10:09. > :10:16.A chance discovery by a preschool child has saved a family of owls.

:10:17. > :10:22.Three large eggs were found in a bucket in a forest school near

:10:23. > :10:26.Winchester. At first, quite rightly, they were not sure what it was,

:10:27. > :10:40.until they saw that flying from the outdoor loo. They set up a camera

:10:41. > :10:45.and caught the father owl feeding them while the mother hatched the

:10:46. > :10:50.eggs. They have been named Twit and Twoo I see what they did there. So

:10:51. > :10:56.gorgeous. Testing your knowledge, what birds were they? I have no

:10:57. > :11:01.idea. Me either. Someone out there can tell us. Don't worry about it.

:11:02. > :11:15.Get in touch in all of the usual ways. Kat, do you know what kind of

:11:16. > :11:20.outlet was? A tawny, I would have said. Barn? Little? Snowy? Eagle?

:11:21. > :11:28.There are many types. Honestly, I was reading about Rod Stewart

:11:29. > :11:35.watching his son play. A real family affair. Starting off with the

:11:36. > :11:39.Premier League understandably because Chelsea, I think, overcame

:11:40. > :11:44.their last big hurdle. They have four more matches to go. By the

:11:45. > :11:55.rhino easy games in the Premier League. -- but there are no. Everton

:11:56. > :11:58.were the last big challenge. They brushed them aside yesterday.

:11:59. > :12:05.Antonio Conte was happy with that. They need to win three of their last

:12:06. > :12:06.four. Easy peasy. Good morning, everybody.

:12:07. > :12:09.Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, says his side must become champions

:12:10. > :12:12.in order for a good season to become a "fantastic" one.

:12:13. > :12:15.The Blues showed showed title winning form with an impressive 3-0

:12:16. > :12:34.But second placed Spurs are keeping the pressure on the leaders.

:12:35. > :12:37.They're just four points behind Chelsea after beating Arsenal 2-0

:12:38. > :12:39.in the last derby at White Hart Lane.

:12:40. > :12:42.The victory means Spurs will finish above Arsenal for the first time

:12:43. > :12:46.Lewis Hamilton says he needs to recover his speed after losing

:12:47. > :12:48.ground to championship leader Sebastian Vettell

:12:49. > :12:51.The Briton finished fourth, while his Mercedes teammate

:12:52. > :13:00.Valtteri Bottas won his first ever F1 race.

:13:01. > :13:03.And after the first day of the World Championship Snooker

:13:04. > :13:05.final at the Crucible, John Higgins leads defending

:13:06. > :13:09.Selby won the final three frames last night to stay in touch.

:13:10. > :13:13.They will play to a conclusion today, it's the first to 18.

:13:14. > :13:18.It is a tight one. 10-7. It could go anywhere. Especially with Selby.

:13:19. > :13:21.Stay with us because we want to hear more about Rod Stewart. Especially

:13:22. > :13:26.the picture. Yesterday we were talking about all of the boxing

:13:27. > :13:30.fallout. It is still all over the papers. Lovely pictures. I will show

:13:31. > :13:37.you those in a few minutes' time. Carol. She is out looking to buy a

:13:38. > :13:45.car this morning. She is in Peterborough. Good morning. Some

:13:46. > :13:51.very large trucks. This gentleman knows all about them. What is

:13:52. > :13:56.happening behind us? Behind us at the moment you can see Swamp Thing,

:13:57. > :14:02.one of the most up-to-date monster trucks available. A full on raising

:14:03. > :14:07.monster truck like would see in America-- racing. He will show are

:14:08. > :14:16.some of the power it has and maybe we will crush some cars, my

:14:17. > :14:20.favourite thing to do at Truckfest. They will give passenger rides all

:14:21. > :14:26.day to people who come along. You can experience being in one of

:14:27. > :14:31.these. It is fantastic. Truckfest is my favourite event of the year. I

:14:32. > :14:37.have come here 20 years myself. I think it it has been going for 35.

:14:38. > :14:41.You can see amazing customised trucks. It is the biggest thing like

:14:42. > :14:47.this in Europe. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a family day

:14:48. > :14:56.out Truckfest will be. People of all ages are here, it is amazing. I

:14:57. > :15:00.think he crushed some cars. How many people are you expecting today? If

:15:01. > :15:05.we have a good turnout we can expect 40,000 people here today, an amazing

:15:06. > :15:08.thing in itself. It's not just in Peterborough, it's happening in

:15:09. > :15:12.other parts of the country? It's, like, eight different offence around

:15:13. > :15:16.the country, we go to everyone with the cruiser because we like to give

:15:17. > :15:20.people rides in the truck and give them the chance to experience that

:15:21. > :15:26.so its ever-growing, it gets bigger and bigger every year and it's great

:15:27. > :15:30.to be a part of it. Today is the last day, I hope it goes well, and

:15:31. > :15:33.the weather, although wet at the moment should improve. Thanks very

:15:34. > :15:37.much. It is raining in Peterborough this morning, but through the day

:15:38. > :15:41.the rain will ease. The warmest conditions today will be in the

:15:42. > :15:45.north-west, it will be wet as we come further south, so we're looking

:15:46. > :15:48.at a mixture of rain and showers but the rain we have at the moment

:15:49. > :15:53.continuing to weaken as it goes north. This morning at 9am, starting

:15:54. > :15:57.in Scotland, a lot of sunshine in the west and this is where we're

:15:58. > :16:00.going to see the highest temperatures today. In the east

:16:01. > :16:05.there is a bit more cloud around, but it is dry. Coming south into

:16:06. > :16:10.northern England, a little line of rain around 9am, not especially

:16:11. > :16:14.heavy, and although we will see brighter skies as we come further

:16:15. > :16:17.south at times we still have rain in the Midlands, East Anglia,

:16:18. > :16:20.south-east England and along southern counties. Into the

:16:21. > :16:24.south-west, we have had some heavy rain in Devon in particular

:16:25. > :16:31.overnight, about an inch, and that rain will tend to ease a touch as we

:16:32. > :16:34.go through the day, on and off, some extending into south-west Wales too

:16:35. > :16:37.but the rest of Wales will be largely dry to start an similar in

:16:38. > :16:43.Northern Ireland, bright start with sunny spells coming through. Through

:16:44. > :16:48.the morning all the rain in the south weakens as it goes north and

:16:49. > :16:51.also pushes eastwards across southern counties, it will turn more

:16:52. > :16:55.showery and we will see brighter skies in between. With the breeze

:16:56. > :16:59.coming in from the North Sea generally across eastern Scotland

:17:00. > :17:02.and also eastern England, it will feel cooler. The highs temperatures

:17:03. > :17:07.the further north and west you are, we could see approaching 20 in parts

:17:08. > :17:11.of north-west Scotland. Where we've got the clear skies by day and the

:17:12. > :17:15.higher temperatures by night, we also have clear skies and low

:17:16. > :17:18.temperatures, so cold in the night in parts of Scotland and Northern

:17:19. > :17:22.Ireland, still the cloud coming in across the east and we lose the

:17:23. > :17:27.showers across the south through the night, pulling away into the Channel

:17:28. > :17:31.Islands. Tomorrow, similar to today in that we will still see some of

:17:32. > :17:35.that cloud coming in from the North Sea across eastern counties of

:17:36. > :17:39.Scotland and England. It will break at times, brighter skies as we go

:17:40. > :17:43.further west, but the risk of showers anywhere across England and

:17:44. > :17:46.those showers in the Midlands will be drifting down towards the

:17:47. > :17:51.south-west through the cause of the day. As we head into Wednesday,

:17:52. > :17:54.again a bit more cloud at times, coming in from the east but more

:17:55. > :17:59.cloud in the south, bright skies with sunny intervals. Once again it

:18:00. > :18:02.is the north and west seeing the lion's share of the sunshine and

:18:03. > :18:06.also as a result the highs temperatures. All in all, after

:18:07. > :18:08.today's rain, things are settling down more and warming up, especially

:18:09. > :18:16.in the west. Carol, thank you very much. I'm

:18:17. > :18:21.interested in what is inside these things, they've got all sorts of

:18:22. > :18:29.kit, microwaves, fridges, beds, you could live in one of these? The one

:18:30. > :18:34.I was in at 6am was luxurious, like a 5-star hotel, a lovely bed, all

:18:35. > :18:39.the interior was leather upholstery, and a fridge, a microwave and a

:18:40. > :18:43.stonking big television as well! Good work. You could have stayed

:18:44. > :18:49.overnight if we if we had only known! Absolutely! More from Carol a

:18:50. > :18:54.little later. Thank you, we will see you soon. Live car crashing as well,

:18:55. > :18:55.how about that, what more do you want?

:18:56. > :18:56.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:18:57. > :18:59.MPs have accused social media firms

:19:00. > :19:01.of a shameful failure to tackle jihadi propaganda

:19:02. > :19:06.A man shot dead by intruders at his home in Dorset has been named

:19:07. > :19:16.by police as 61-year-old Guy Hedger.

:19:17. > :19:22.On this bank holiday Monday morning, let's have a look at some of the

:19:23. > :19:26.newspapers and the Daily Telegraph is leading with our top story,

:19:27. > :19:31.Facebook must pay to police the Internet, proposals to make social

:19:32. > :19:34.media firms more responsible for the content they published and it's a

:19:35. > :19:38.big debate about whether these social media sites distribute

:19:39. > :19:42.content that other people, including ourselves, make, or whether they are

:19:43. > :19:46.publishers and they should be more responsible for the content that is

:19:47. > :19:50.on their site. There is a call for them being fined if they don't

:19:51. > :19:54.police it or remove offensive content within a set time period.

:19:55. > :19:58.That's on the front of the Telegraph today. That lead story is also the

:19:59. > :20:02.front page of the Times this morning at the bottom. They're also talking

:20:03. > :20:07.about Theresa May responding to those latest talks she's had with EU

:20:08. > :20:11.leaders concerning Brexit, saying she will walk away if there is no

:20:12. > :20:17.deal, which once again kind of ramps up all of the uncertainty around

:20:18. > :20:20.what exactly is going to happen. A great picture from the English

:20:21. > :20:24.national surfing Championships taking place in apparent course in

:20:25. > :20:32.Cornwall over the weekend. The front of the FT, Theresa May's interview

:20:33. > :20:35.with Andrew Marr yesterday, and interest-free credit cards a ticking

:20:36. > :20:40.timebomb according to bankers, there's too much debt and it could

:20:41. > :20:46.make a revenue scandal which hit Tesco and it is all about how the

:20:47. > :20:51.revenue on cards are accounted for, some cards have 43 months of

:20:52. > :20:55.interest-free and they don't know if customers can pay it back. The Daily

:20:56. > :20:59.Mirror has announced the return of Tony Blair, he stepped into the fray

:21:00. > :21:05.over the snap general election, saying he wants voters to support

:21:06. > :21:13.Labour. He isn't exactly a Corbyn Easter but he says Labour has the

:21:14. > :21:17.best chance of improving the country in the future and Anthony Joshua on

:21:18. > :21:22.the front and the back of the papers. He still owes his local

:21:23. > :21:29.launderette about ?150 apparently! That is a lot of washing, ?150! On

:40:38. > :40:41.will lead to rent rises. Joining us from our London newsroom

:40:42. > :40:49.is the shadow Housing Minister, A very good morning to you. What is

:40:50. > :40:54.wrong with the current system? It is quite simple. The law of the land

:40:55. > :40:59.has not caught up with how we live. One in five of us rent our home.

:41:00. > :41:04.That is one million families with children. And yet we have fewer

:41:05. > :41:10.rights renting a family home than we do buying a fridge or freezer. It is

:41:11. > :41:14.time to make sure councils and the law can clamp down on the very worst

:41:15. > :41:21.landlords, particularly people as renters and consumer rights. What

:41:22. > :41:30.would you like changed? A clear minimum force of legal standards so

:41:31. > :41:35.tenants don't have to suffer unsafe wiring, colds, damp, and sometimes

:41:36. > :41:40.dangerous homes. We would make sure that tenants, as consumers, have the

:41:41. > :41:45.consumer rights to be able to get landlords to fix problems. Then we

:41:46. > :41:50.give councils the ability to clamp down on the worst of the landlords.

:41:51. > :41:55.I want to see every private rental house fit to be called a home. You

:41:56. > :42:00.say the Tories are not doing enough and they have let this system get

:42:01. > :42:07.into such a state. But they brought in legislation to ban rogue

:42:08. > :42:12.landlords from renting out property is. Why are those proposals not

:42:13. > :42:19.enough? Not a single landlord has been banned. No legislation to stop

:42:20. > :42:23.these fees. The truth is, over years, we have seen them defend the

:42:24. > :42:29.status quo. They have ignored the common problems private renters

:42:30. > :42:35.have. And they refuse to step in to make sure we see basics set

:42:36. > :42:39.standards for homes we rent. They have to be free of vermin, they have

:42:40. > :42:45.to be free of serious damp, they have to be free of dangerous

:42:46. > :42:49.appliances and wiring. This is just not good enough in this day and age

:42:50. > :42:54.when we have so many families with children living and trying to build

:42:55. > :42:59.their lives in private rented homes. The underlying problem, is it not,

:43:00. > :43:02.is just a lack of housing in the first place. This applies to people

:43:03. > :43:09.trying to buy and get onto the housing ladder themselves. The

:43:10. > :43:12.answer is to build more houses so we are not reliant on poor quality

:43:13. > :43:20.housing. There is no simple answer in housing. It is true there is a 24

:43:21. > :43:24.year low in housebuilding. We need more genuinely affordable homes.

:43:25. > :43:30.Labour will set up plans to build more. We also have to fix the broken

:43:31. > :43:37.housing market. It is about private tenants and landlords making sure we

:43:38. > :43:43.have basic consumer rights like we have in any other market. So, the

:43:44. > :43:45.proposal to introduce more legislation, rules, regulations, on

:43:46. > :43:51.what landlords can offer, and finding those who don't offer the

:43:52. > :43:55.minimum standard. That washes up the cost. Will that cost not simply be

:43:56. > :44:02.pushed onto those who cannot afford rent? -- pushes. What we have seen

:44:03. > :44:06.in areas with both Labour and Conservative with licensing schemes

:44:07. > :44:12.is they are able to clamp down on the worst landlords and raise

:44:13. > :44:16.standards. They are very welcome, not just by the renters that may be

:44:17. > :44:23.exploited by the very worst landlords, but it helps lift the

:44:24. > :44:28.street. It is a no-brainer we have seen Conservative ministers turn

:44:29. > :44:32.away from helping renters. After many years of failure, it is clear

:44:33. > :44:38.they have no plan to fix the housing crisis. Thank you. John Healey.

:45:30. > :45:33.it is. There's a nice comfy bed, a television as well, and we've got a

:45:34. > :45:38.microwave and a fridge in here but it is a fully customised to truck,

:45:39. > :45:44.it's not just a show truck, it works as well! It does eight miles to the

:45:45. > :45:48.gallon, it takes diesel and this particular one is done 1 million

:45:49. > :45:53.kilometres, you heard that right, 1 million, around 600,000 miles! I

:45:54. > :45:58.have to say it is much more luxurious than my house! It's also

:45:59. > :46:00.drier in here than outside, heavy rain at the moment in Peterborough

:46:01. > :46:06.at Truckfest. Through the morning what you will

:46:07. > :46:10.find is the rain will tend to ease and some will see showers. Today the

:46:11. > :46:14.brightest skies will be across north-western parts of the UK,

:46:15. > :46:20.particularly north-west Scotland, we can see temperatures today

:46:21. > :46:24.approaching 20 there. Let's start at 9am in Scotland, the west is best in

:46:25. > :46:28.terms of sunshine, a wee bit more cloud in the east, that will be

:46:29. > :46:32.there with us through the day. Also some light rain in northern England

:46:33. > :46:36.but as we come south, one or two brighter spells here and there but

:46:37. > :46:39.then we run into some rain again, the rain in East Anglia, the

:46:40. > :46:44.Midlands, parts of south-east England, the south coast and some

:46:45. > :46:49.heavy rain in Devon and Cornwall, heavy rain there overnight, up to an

:46:50. > :46:54.inch. Then in Wales, again we are seeing some rain this morning at 9am

:46:55. > :46:57.in southern parts of Wales, north Wales seeing something dry and

:46:58. > :47:01.brighter. In Northern Ireland we are back into brighter skies, and you

:47:02. > :47:05.are going to hang on to sunshine through the course of the day and

:47:06. > :47:09.temperatures will reflect that, especially during the afternoon.

:47:10. > :47:14.During the day you can see the breeze coming in off the North Sea,

:47:15. > :47:18.blowing in the cloud we see across Scotland but breaking up at times in

:47:19. > :47:22.parts of eastern England. Meanwhile our rain currently across the

:47:23. > :47:25.Midlands, East Anglia and Wales will move north into northern England,

:47:26. > :47:29.but a weak feature, in southern England and south Wales we will see

:47:30. > :47:33.further showers, some could be heavy and thundery but with sunny spells

:47:34. > :47:36.in between. Through the evening and overnight, where we have the clear

:47:37. > :47:41.skies by day we will have them by night, after a warm day, a cold

:47:42. > :47:45.night, so in western Scotland and in Northern Ireland. Still some cloud

:47:46. > :47:49.coming in through the North Sea across the east coast and the

:47:50. > :47:54.showers in the south tending to fade. Into tomorrow, again some of

:47:55. > :47:57.that cloud still rolling in from the east coast but once again it will

:47:58. > :48:01.break up and we will also see showers developing in parts of

:48:02. > :48:05.England and they will head towards south-west England, but the way with

:48:06. > :48:09.showers, a lot will miss them all together. If you're in the sunshine,

:48:10. > :48:13.the best of which in the north and west, while we are looking at the

:48:14. > :48:19.high teens are not as high as some other parts of the UK. On Wednesday,

:48:20. > :48:23.a bit more cloud, bright with sunny skies in southern parts of England

:48:24. > :48:26.but as we go further north, once again this is where the brighter

:48:27. > :48:31.skies will be an where we see the sunshine for the longest. But things

:48:32. > :48:33.after today things settling down and for most bar the odd shower it

:48:34. > :48:41.should remain fairly dry. It looks so lovely and snug in

:48:42. > :48:45.there, must be tempting getting up slow early as we do to have a little

:48:46. > :48:52.snooze on the couch behind you. Just feel the plush nurse! It is lovely!

:48:53. > :48:57.It is the last word, I tell you! Nice big cushions, padded at the

:48:58. > :49:03.back like a headboard, lovely. Dan is getting very excited, all sorts

:49:04. > :49:09.of interior design ideas -- then. There's no chance I would fit in

:49:10. > :49:14.that bed? You would have to put your legs around your head I think, Ben!

:49:15. > :49:17.Thank you, Carol! That's another story!

:49:18. > :49:20.They're used for five billion journeys every year to shop,

:49:21. > :49:23.work or study, yet bus services outside of London are in crisis,

:49:24. > :49:26.Councils across England and Wales have cut their budgets

:49:27. > :49:29.by a third since 2010, affecting thousands of routes.

:49:30. > :49:32.And it's the young, the less well-off and those living in small

:49:33. > :49:34.towns and villages who are said to be

:49:35. > :49:43.Here's our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott.

:49:44. > :49:50.Time's running out for many of our buses. They carry three times more

:49:51. > :49:59.people than the trains but thousands of council subsidised routes have

:50:00. > :50:03.gone in recent years. This is the 267 late-night service from Bath to

:50:04. > :50:07.Froome. It's one of the services that is facing cuts across the

:50:08. > :50:11.country, and in fact come September the funding for this service is

:50:12. > :50:16.going to run out completely. Most of the passengers on this bus are

:50:17. > :50:21.young, like Holly, who works legs in a restaurant. And Josh, who goes to

:50:22. > :50:27.college in Bath. They can't afford to drive, catch the more expensive

:50:28. > :50:32.train or move house. It's a really, really big deal because you just

:50:33. > :50:36.can't find the same opportunities in a small town like Froome, so being

:50:37. > :50:41.able to travel daily and nightly back from Bath, it's really

:50:42. > :50:44.important to me being able to earn enough money to live independently.

:50:45. > :50:48.How much time have you got potentially going to college in

:50:49. > :50:52.Bath? Just under three years. How are you going to get there for the

:50:53. > :50:56.next three years? I don't know what I'm going to do. Bath and Somerset

:50:57. > :51:00.council says other authorities should help fund the service because

:51:01. > :51:05.the passengers come from different areas. First buses help keep it

:51:06. > :51:09.going for a few extra months but in reality unless a campaign can drum

:51:10. > :51:15.up more passengers, the late weeknight to 67s will go. It's a

:51:16. > :51:18.story reflected across much of England and Wales. Campaigners say

:51:19. > :51:24.nearly 3000 councils subsidised routes have been slimmed down or

:51:25. > :51:31.dropped since 2010. 500 of them last year when two thirds of local

:51:32. > :51:35.authorities cut their vast budget. First group run a fifth of the buses

:51:36. > :51:40.outside London, which is where these cuts are happening. We want to carry

:51:41. > :51:45.more customers, that is how we are successful. When we are criticised

:51:46. > :51:51.for bus cuts whenever we do take it hard, we only ever withdraw a

:51:52. > :51:54.service as a last resort. Often a service is being withdrawn because

:51:55. > :51:58.of reductions in local authority funding. Councils say years of cuts

:51:59. > :52:03.in government funding has forced them to ditch roots. A new buses

:52:04. > :52:09.bill will soon give them more powers to improve services, but back on the

:52:10. > :52:12.267, passengers know once their bust disappears, it almost never comes

:52:13. > :52:13.back. Richard Westcott, BBC News, Froome.

:52:14. > :52:16.If you're eating out, and you're so full you just can't

:52:17. > :52:30.I have never done this, have you? Yeah, pizza and courage. Definitely.

:52:31. > :52:31.How would you put curry in a bag? Carry the next day, loads of people

:52:32. > :52:34.do that -- and curry. A survey suggests two-fifths

:52:35. > :52:38.of people are reluctant to ask This is contributing

:52:39. > :52:41.to millions of tons of food Now restaurants in Scotland

:52:42. > :52:45.are taking part in a scheme to get people to take their

:52:46. > :52:47.unfinished meals home. Holly Hamilton has

:52:48. > :52:58.been to find out more. When it comes to dining out, we are

:52:59. > :53:03.spoilt for choice. And in an all super-sized era, portion sizes are

:53:04. > :53:08.getting bigger too. And yet even if we can't manage to finish everything

:53:09. > :53:12.on our plate, most of us are quite reluctant to have it boxed up and

:53:13. > :53:16.taken home with us, in other words a doggy bag. Do you mind if I get the

:53:17. > :53:23.rest to go? Thanks very much. In one survey while 75% said they would

:53:24. > :53:27.like a doggy bag, 42% said they would be too embarrassed to ask for

:53:28. > :53:32.one. Your conscious about the fact you might be looked upon

:53:33. > :53:37.differently. If you can't finish it you've paid for it so you have a

:53:38. > :53:42.choice of taking it home for you or your dog, that's sensible as far as

:53:43. > :53:46.I'm concerned. I have done it on numerous occasions and I have no

:53:47. > :53:51.problem doing it. It is so much waste, I have a small appetite, I

:53:52. > :53:56.enjoy good food but I would like to take it with me. I have no problem

:53:57. > :54:01.but look at my plate, it is always empty. In Scotland it could soon be

:54:02. > :54:06.the norm with plans to introduce doggy bags to all restaurants as

:54:07. > :54:10.part of a plan to cut food waste. Would you like it in a doggy bag?

:54:11. > :54:15.That would be great. Lots of restaurants already offer it, which

:54:16. > :54:20.is fantastic, what good to go does is extra promotion, you are actively

:54:21. > :54:24.offering a doggy bag. We did a pilot and pleased to say it was really

:54:25. > :54:29.positive and something restaurants told us they wanted and customers

:54:30. > :54:33.too said they wanted. And this is the problem, across the UK food

:54:34. > :54:37.waste costs the restaurant sector more than ?600 million a year with

:54:38. > :54:42.eateries producing nearly 200,000 tons. More than a third of that

:54:43. > :54:47.waste comes straight from the customers' plates. But it doesn't

:54:48. > :54:50.have to be this way, campaigners here say if restaurants routinely

:54:51. > :54:58.offered doggy bags it would save the equivalent of 800,000 meals going in

:54:59. > :55:02.the bin every year. I do think it's our responsibility to make sure

:55:03. > :55:06.people are aware of the fact it's OK to take food home and reheat it and

:55:07. > :55:10.it is fit for purpose. We're talking about a world that has a food crisis

:55:11. > :55:13.and we're wasting food. So people taking food home, we're just giving

:55:14. > :55:18.them that opportunity and actually intervening rather than waiting for

:55:19. > :55:21.them to ask makes a huge difference. Doggy bags are common practice in

:55:22. > :55:25.the US and even in France restaurants are legally obliged now

:55:26. > :55:30.to provide one if requested by diners, but here in the UK old

:55:31. > :55:34.habits die hard. As a nation we don't like to make a fuss, but with

:55:35. > :55:38.ambitious targets to cut food waste by 20% within the next ten years,

:55:39. > :55:42.maybe it's time to start thinking inside the box. Holly Hamilton, BBC

:55:43. > :55:49.News, Glasgow. You see, food in a box like that,

:55:50. > :55:51.you could take home your curry like that! Now you have explained it, not

:09:41. > :09:44.Here's our education correspondent, Marc Ashdown.

:09:45. > :09:46.Even from a young age, children are well accustomed

:09:47. > :09:49.to being tested, but MPs are worried the importance placed nowadays

:09:50. > :09:52.on how children perform in isolated tests leads

:09:53. > :09:56.Results are used to judge schools in annual performance tables,

:09:57. > :09:58.which this Education Select Committee report has said can create

:09:59. > :10:00.a high-stakes environment, damaging to students and teachers.

:10:01. > :10:04.These Year 6 students are gearing up for their test.

:10:05. > :10:16.It is a good school in a challenging area of London.

:10:17. > :10:20.The reality is children at the age of 10 or 11 are going to do

:10:21. > :10:23.an hour's test, which will evaluate their reading for four years.

:10:24. > :10:39.For us, as a school, the results of that are also very

:10:40. > :10:41.high stakes, because it is how it is rated.

:10:42. > :10:43.As an alternative, a rolling three-year average

:10:44. > :10:52.Ofsted said it wants a broad curriculum.

:10:53. > :10:56.The Department for Education has said it will consider the report

:10:57. > :11:06.At least nine people are now confirmed to have died as tornados

:11:07. > :11:08.hit the US State of Texas over the weekend.

:11:09. > :11:11.More than 50 people in hospital according to local authorities.

:11:12. > :11:14.The American midwest has been struck by an intensive weather system that

:11:15. > :11:16.has caused damage across several states, including neighbouring

:11:17. > :11:26.Missouri and Oklahoma, which are now in a state of emergency.

:11:27. > :11:34.Some lovely pictures of some lovely, little owls to show you right now.

:11:35. > :11:37.A chance discovery by a preschool child has saved a family of owls.

:11:38. > :11:40.Three large eggs were found in a bucket in a forest

:11:41. > :11:44.At first, quite rightly, they were not sure what it was,

:11:45. > :11:47.until they saw that flying from the outdoor loo.

:11:48. > :11:50.They set up a camera and caught the father owl feeding them

:11:51. > :12:02.There it is. Teamwork, I like it. Baby eggs, sorry, baby owls.

:12:03. > :12:06.They have been named Twit and Twoo I see what they did there.

:12:07. > :12:20.We asked you early out what kind of owls they are. You didn't let us

:12:21. > :12:21.down. They are barn owls. A very cute story. Reliably informing us.

:12:22. > :12:27.Thank you as always. doing enough to remove illegal

:12:28. > :12:33.material from their sites? Well, not according

:12:34. > :12:36.to a new report by a group of MPs. Companies like Facebook, Twitter,

:12:37. > :12:39.and Google have been branded a "disgrace" by the Home

:12:40. > :12:41.Affairs Select Committee, for failing to tackle terrorist

:12:42. > :12:43.and hate crime propaganda. The sites have defended

:12:44. > :12:46.their approach to on line Luc Delany, former public policy

:12:47. > :12:59.director at Facebook and Google You have been in there. You have

:13:00. > :13:04.been in the thick of it. Describe to us how difficult it is to monitor

:13:05. > :13:09.all of this content and say what is appropriate, inappropriate, illegal.

:13:10. > :13:13.It is questionable whether companies should actually make the judgement

:13:14. > :13:17.of what is illegal. We have police and judges and courts decide that

:13:18. > :13:25.for us. We have to be careful to not ask companies to be judge, jury and

:13:26. > :13:32.executioner. Some would be concerned by that. YouTube has 300 hours worth

:13:33. > :13:38.of content uploaded per minute. Facebook has 1.9 billion people on

:13:39. > :13:43.the platform. Really, we need to have smart solutions to try to deal

:13:44. > :13:49.with the scale of Rocklands. Bullying, illegal content, no matter

:13:50. > :14:01.what it is. Does this come down to defining social media networks as

:14:02. > :14:04.publishers or contributors? They are putting things out in the public

:14:05. > :14:07.domain. But Google and Facebook might say that they are just

:14:08. > :14:15.allowing people to share information that is coming from the users

:14:16. > :14:19.themselves. That is right. It is defined in law. Platforms are not

:14:20. > :14:24.liable initially for content on their services. That makes sense if

:14:25. > :14:28.you think about it. Just as Facebook cannot be responsible for all of the

:14:29. > :14:32.content people put up, the post office cannot be responsible for

:14:33. > :14:36.every letter either. The system would break down. Editorial choices

:14:37. > :14:40.that are clearly pushed and published by the individual

:14:41. > :14:45.organisation have a lot more responsibility for the content under

:14:46. > :14:49.the law. Equally, you would say the flipside of that is these

:14:50. > :14:53.organisations are making a lot of money off the of that content that

:14:54. > :14:58.is created by users. If they are able to use it for good, for

:14:59. > :15:01.profits, they do what they want with it, they should also spend some to

:15:02. > :15:07.make sure things are not harmful. They do and you are right to be

:15:08. > :15:12.these companies have big pockets. -- right. But at a certain point, 2

:15:13. > :15:17.billion people on the platform, endless resources do not really need

:15:18. > :15:20.the need. There are some examples where the content has been so

:15:21. > :15:24.blatantly inappropriate and they have not reacted quickly enough. For

:15:25. > :15:28.example, the killing of the 74-year-old man in Cleveland in the

:15:29. > :15:33.US recently. A confession was put up. A complaint was made to

:15:34. > :15:38.Facebook. It took two hours to take that down. You are right. And the

:15:39. > :15:44.BBC was once looking at images of abuse on line. Facebook users were

:15:45. > :15:45.exchanging that material. Of the 100 cases reported, Facebook remove only

:15:46. > :15:55.18! There are some bad headlines that

:15:56. > :15:59.have hit the papers recently. This really looks at why those problems

:16:00. > :16:05.exist and how they exist and Facebook should come up with

:16:06. > :16:10.solutions. The report is using very inflammatory language, grabs

:16:11. > :16:17.headlines and bashes the tech companies but it doesn't look at the

:16:18. > :16:21.convexity of the issue. But this is terrorist propaganda and child abuse

:16:22. > :16:26.images, you have to use this language? The language they use has

:16:27. > :16:29.been going on for many years, we have a strong history in this

:16:30. > :16:36.country with the Internet Watch Foundation, with the centre for

:16:37. > :16:40.exploitation and online protection here, the language used around that

:16:41. > :16:44.I don't think reflects the reality of the work being done between the

:16:45. > :16:48.partnerships existing already between industry and the police.

:16:49. > :16:53.This report is divisive, it doesn't help and come up with any positive

:16:54. > :16:56.solutions. I want to talk about one solution and that's the proposal to

:16:57. > :17:01.create a fine system, something proposed in Germany, giving the

:17:02. > :17:04.sites noticed and if they don't take these things down within an allotted

:17:05. > :17:12.timeframe they would face a severe fine. Would that work? It's

:17:13. > :17:16.interesting to explore that but the problem is there is a presumption

:17:17. > :17:19.these companies should know and be able to easily identify what is

:17:20. > :17:23.illegal and do we want these American tech companies to be

:17:24. > :17:29.policing us? The comparison between police being paid for at football

:17:30. > :17:33.matches were 40,000 people come together, have one particular type

:17:34. > :17:37.of violent behaviour that they are renowned for, it's not the same as

:17:38. > :17:41.me checking my Instagram before I come on or having a policeman in my

:17:42. > :17:46.pocket and everything I do is monitored. These companies have a

:17:47. > :17:50.privacy obligation to consumers. There's a constant balance between

:17:51. > :17:54.protecting people, providing tools for reporting and their privacy,

:17:55. > :17:59.they have legal rights to privacy as well. Fascinating, we could talk so

:18:00. > :18:02.much more because it gets into the issue of the sites policing and

:18:03. > :18:07.keeping an eye on things and the idea of free speech. Time is against

:18:08. > :18:08.us but really good to talk to you. Thank you.

:18:09. > :18:10.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:18:11. > :18:22.Carol, what have you found this time? Is that view in that car? I

:18:23. > :18:26.wish! It's amazing, it is a stunt driver, look at this, oh my

:18:27. > :18:31.goodness, he has left this carbohydrate but he has been on the

:18:32. > :18:36.roof, he's coming to join us. I'm also joined by Colin Moore,

:18:37. > :18:40.Truckfest creator and organiser. Colin, what are we travelling on? A

:18:41. > :18:45.giant big wheeled American monster truck at the moment. Normally these

:18:46. > :18:49.monster trucks are used to crush cars but at Peterborough we use this

:18:50. > :18:54.specially converted one to give the public a right to see what it's

:18:55. > :19:00.really like, great fun! You actually set up this whole event many moons

:19:01. > :19:04.ago, why, what inspired you? Why not, people like trucks and there's

:19:05. > :19:08.a lot of truckers about in great region and it started as a

:19:09. > :19:12.Glastonbury for trucks and it has involved and this year we will have

:19:13. > :19:16.something like 35,000 here today, 3000 trucks and there's the fun

:19:17. > :19:21.aspect of trucking, they loved it and I love it too! Anyone coming

:19:22. > :19:27.down today, what can they expect to see? We can expect to see Terry

:19:28. > :19:30.Grant here doing some performances, monster crushing cars, and some of

:19:31. > :19:35.the most spectacular trucks in Britain. We've got some amazing

:19:36. > :19:39.trucks for the public to see. It's not just here, this is the first of

:19:40. > :19:44.the year, you do them around the country? We started here 35 years

:19:45. > :19:48.ago but we're doing them nationwide, we even do them from where you come

:19:49. > :19:52.from, Carol, in Scotland in August so we look forward to going up

:19:53. > :19:58.there. Scotland today will see the best of the weather, we should have

:19:59. > :20:02.been there because it is pouring buckets here but the mud is good for

:20:03. > :20:07.the stunt drivers. You're right but it will be good here. The weather

:20:08. > :20:11.will improve here, thank you for joining us, Colin! Talking of the

:20:12. > :20:14.weather, today we have a bit of a split because in the west,

:20:15. > :20:18.especially the north-west, it will be warm and we are looking at rain

:20:19. > :20:24.and showers in many other parts of the UK. If we start at 9am in

:20:25. > :20:27.Scotland, west is best, driest, sunniest and warmest. Eastern

:20:28. > :20:32.Scotland seeing a bit more cloud from the North Sea. Also by 9am we

:20:33. > :20:36.have light rain in northern England, south of that there are going to be

:20:37. > :20:40.bright spells but then we run into the rain we've had this morning in

:20:41. > :20:43.Peterborough. Again the rain weakening all the time, across the

:20:44. > :20:47.Midlands into used anger, the south-east, and as we drift further

:20:48. > :20:52.west to Devon and Cornwall where we have had rain overnight, that will

:20:53. > :20:56.begin to weaken -- East Anglia. Also extending to southern Wales. In

:20:57. > :21:00.north Wales it is a drier and brighter start and in Northern

:21:01. > :21:05.Ireland, back into sunnier skies and again a pleasant, dry and warm day

:21:06. > :21:08.for you. Talking of such things, through the course of the day we

:21:09. > :21:12.hang on to the sunshine across Western Scotland and Northern

:21:13. > :21:16.Ireland, cloud in over a wee bit in eastern island through the day. The

:21:17. > :21:22.rain we have currently in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia moves north

:21:23. > :21:26.as a weakening feature, showery in nature and the same for the rain in

:21:27. > :21:30.Devon and Cornwall -- east Ireland. In southern areas we see further

:21:31. > :21:34.showers developing, some heavy and thundery, but sunshine in between. A

:21:35. > :21:39.breeze coming in from the North Sea. Temperatures approaching 20 in the

:21:40. > :21:43.north-west, and here's where we have the clear skies by night as well so

:21:44. > :21:47.after a warm day, a cold night. Still the cloud in eastern parts of

:21:48. > :21:53.the UK and the showers in the south overnight fading. Temperatures

:21:54. > :21:57.roughly 7-9 overnight. Tomorrow once again we are prone to seeing some of

:21:58. > :22:01.the cloud lapping in from the North Sea in eastern areas, it will break

:22:02. > :22:05.up and we will also see a fair bit of sunshine tomorrow but through the

:22:06. > :22:08.day further showers developing, especially across England, central

:22:09. > :22:12.England, and through the day they will wander to the south-west. But

:22:13. > :22:17.as is the way with showers, not everyone will see one. As we head

:22:18. > :22:20.into Wednesday, a bit more of the same, remaining fairly settled. More

:22:21. > :22:25.cloud in southern areas at times but a lot will be high cloud, so bright,

:22:26. > :22:29.sunny skies but the lion's share of the sunshine once again will be the

:22:30. > :22:34.further west you are, especially in the north-west with temperatures

:22:35. > :22:38.getting up to around 17. After the rain today, and isn't it typical,

:22:39. > :22:42.Ben and Rachel, typical we have rain on a bank holiday, things will

:22:43. > :22:46.settle down. We should have known it was going to rain and as everyone is

:22:47. > :22:49.back to work this week, the weather picks up a bit.

:22:50. > :22:55.To see a bit more driving later because I've seen better driving

:22:56. > :22:57.elsewhere than on that road behind you! Thanks very much and more from

:22:58. > :22:59.Carol a little bit later! From the EU referendum

:23:00. > :23:01.to the upcoming general election, there's been a fair amount

:23:02. > :23:04.of ballot box action of late. And later this week six English

:23:05. > :23:07.regions head to the polls Jayne McCubbin has been to Bury

:23:08. > :23:13.in Greater Manchester to find out. Any two for ?1, ladies,

:23:14. > :23:21.strawberries, raspeberries We're here with a question.

:23:22. > :23:25.Are we ready for May the fourth? This looks good,

:23:26. > :23:31.great sausages, Mark. May the fourth, general election?

:23:32. > :23:39.No. Yeah, election, yeah.

:23:40. > :23:41.Not the general election. You're not going to ask us

:23:42. > :23:45.politics questions, are you? Star Wars, May

:23:46. > :23:48.the Force be with you? They may need that Jedi Force to get

:23:49. > :23:52.them through the next few weeks. Before they vote for

:23:53. > :23:55.a new government, they've got Is it?

:23:56. > :24:03.Right! The Metro Mayors will have power

:24:04. > :24:08.over issues like transport, housing, skills, and

:24:09. > :24:10.in some areas, powers But over at the spuds and black

:24:11. > :24:15.pudding, there's a general Are you at all interested?

:24:16. > :24:18.Not one bit. We've had Brexit, we've

:24:19. > :24:20.had a general election, another one, and to be perfectly

:24:21. > :24:24.honest, lost the will to live. Economists believe that if it's

:24:25. > :24:31.cities which drive economic growth, London is the energy

:24:32. > :24:35.of the UK economy. The government wants to devolve more

:24:36. > :24:38.powers to the city regions Whether or not they're the right

:24:39. > :24:46.powers matched with the right money, It's about decisions being taken

:24:47. > :24:50.in Greater Manchester or Tees Valley or Liverpool that have previously

:24:51. > :24:53.been taken in London. It's a really big opportunity

:24:54. > :24:56.to create more jobs and put more money in the pockets of the people

:24:57. > :24:59.that live in these areas. I'm just not convinced they're

:25:00. > :25:01.getting enough cash. You know, if somebody gives you two

:25:02. > :25:05.bob and a conker year after year after year for 30 years,

:25:06. > :25:08.you will end up with a nice These good people of Bury

:25:09. > :25:14.and the rest of Greater Manchester were asked in 2012 if they

:25:15. > :25:17.wanted a Metro Mayor, Are you voting?

:25:18. > :25:19.I am, yeah. I'd sooner have the money spent up

:25:20. > :25:26.here by the people who need it up here, they know what's being spent

:25:27. > :25:29.rather than down south because London doesn't know what's

:25:30. > :25:32.going on up here basically. We are totally two separate nations,

:25:33. > :25:35.the North and the South. More power for up North,

:25:36. > :25:38.all good in your book? So on May the fourth

:25:39. > :25:41.they'll vote again. They hope their Metro Mayor

:25:42. > :25:43.will have the clout the London marathon course,

:25:44. > :26:02.raising thousands for charity Look at the effort that was

:26:03. > :26:05.required! Now Mr Gorilla has crawled his way

:26:06. > :26:09.to the Breakfast studio and he'll be on the sofa later telling

:26:10. > :26:16.us what inspired him. He is just outside. He is making his

:26:17. > :26:20.way across the bridge. He will be here in about an hour. We will be

:33:09. > :33:11.At first, they weren't quite sure what type of bird

:33:14. > :33:17.The school set up a camera and caught the father owl feeding

:33:24. > :33:28.The pair have been called Twit and Twoo.

:33:29. > :33:47.I have a great joke about owls. A viewers in the ten. Owls never mate

:34:11. > :34:13.the sport and weather. You have been sharing owl jokes, but there has

:34:14. > :34:17.been some debate about what species they are. Tawny? Barn? No, they are

:34:18. > :34:21.white. You are wasted on sports. Get out there and talk about owls! I am

:34:22. > :34:27.talking about the Premier League, unfortunately, not owls! Antonio

:34:28. > :34:36.Conte. A man who knows, though he would never admit it, that... Who

:34:37. > :34:43.the man of the year was? I think Chelsea have Middlesbrough, West

:34:44. > :34:46.Brom, Watford, and Sunderland, and they have to win three of those

:34:47. > :34:51.four. You would back them to do that. A week ago it looked like it

:34:52. > :34:55.was going to be an exciting finish. Now, I will not say it will be a

:34:56. > :35:00.walk in the park, but... Yeah. Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte,

:35:01. > :35:02.says his side must become champions for a good season to

:35:03. > :35:05.become a "fantastic" one. A dominant win at Everton saw them

:35:06. > :35:08.maintain their lead at the top of the table but Spurs

:35:09. > :35:11.are keeping the pressure on. Meanwhile, there was frustration

:35:12. > :35:13.for the two Manchester teams in the battle for the fourth

:35:17. > :35:19.of ecstasy and exhilaration. Few savour the emotion

:35:27. > :35:29.in on the Premier League title. In their path towards silverware

:35:30. > :35:31.came gold flourishes. A strike as spectacular

:35:32. > :35:42.as important. On paper, this match with Everton

:35:43. > :35:45.marked their toughest fixture But three goals and three

:35:46. > :35:48.points make this the mark At this part of the season

:35:49. > :35:54.it is important to use first the head, then the heart,

:41:47. > :41:55.Thank you very much. What do you know about this latest outbreak? We

:41:56. > :42:07.any idea about why this particular Spikes in cases happen? -- spikes.

:42:08. > :42:17.It is rare for there to be more than one case like we have seen in

:42:18. > :42:25.Surrey. We have seen a high carriage rate. It is contagious. How is

:42:26. > :42:30.generally transmitted? Well, bacteria lives in the backs of our

:42:31. > :42:38.noses and throats and is passed by close contact. When I talk, I am

:42:39. > :42:46.spraying droplets of water. We all have carried it had won point in our

:42:47. > :42:52.lives. -- had it at one. Cobleigh 30-40 of your colleagues carry it.

:42:53. > :42:56.-- probably. For the rest of us, along with other things we pick up,

:42:57. > :43:02.the immune system kicks in and keeps it at a. But one or two will be

:43:03. > :43:07.vulnerable. That is why they have kept this precaution and

:43:08. > :43:12.administered thousands of vaccines. Are these programmes is effective

:43:13. > :43:17.generally? Well, yes. We know that the many different types of

:43:18. > :43:20.vaccines, they are very effective, especially with the new baby

:43:21. > :43:25.programme, which has seen a big reduction in the number of cases in

:43:26. > :43:30.that age group. Of course, as a charity, we are fighting to raise

:43:31. > :43:36.funds for prevention, to support scientists, and we want to see the

:43:37. > :43:45.vaccine offered to the high risk groups, the under fives, and at

:43:46. > :43:50.university, like fresh students. The disease warriors people, as there

:43:51. > :43:54.are many complications. Some vaccines cover the illness and some

:43:55. > :43:59.don't We cannot completely relax and be complacent about it. There are no

:44:00. > :44:06.other strains we have vaccines to protect against. It is important

:44:07. > :44:10.everyone is aware of the symptoms of meningitis because we know from the

:44:11. > :44:21.work we do, the earlier it is identified and prompt help afforded,

:44:22. > :44:30.the better the outcome supplied when we look out for the rash, should we

:44:31. > :44:39.look at the Simpsons before that? Yeah. There are no set pattern is

:44:40. > :44:45.for the disease to present itself. But with meningitis, obviously, a

:44:46. > :44:56.headache, a stiff neck, septicaemia, aching limbs, aching joints, call

:44:57. > :45:08.hands and feet, and big, purple bruising. -- cold. But we say don't

:45:09. > :45:12.wait for a rash because it might not appear at all. But in many cases,

:45:13. > :45:16.like babies and toddlers, you would see a rapid deterioration in their

:45:17. > :45:21.condition. If you see a rash, seek help immediately. Significant and

:45:22. > :45:22.rapid change is important in all of this. Thank you.

:45:47. > :46:03.It is fair to say she is shopping for a new car. Carol, have you found

:46:04. > :46:09.one? Look at this baby, Ben! This is a monster truck, you can see it by

:46:10. > :46:14.looking at the wheels, Swamp Thing, they are five foot six, an inch

:46:15. > :46:18.smaller than me, it is 14 foot, 12 foot wide, if you're wondering how

:46:19. > :46:22.to get in because there's no door, follow me. You come under here and

:46:23. > :46:27.you literally climb up these steps which take you into the driver's

:46:28. > :46:34.seat, but we're not going in because it is wet inside. This way is by the

:46:35. > :46:40..5 tons, so it is a big beast! It's been wet in Peterborough this

:46:41. > :46:45.morning but the rain has stopped. -- it weighs 5.5 tons. The forecast for

:46:46. > :46:48.many is showers in the south but in the north, especially the

:46:49. > :46:51.north-west, some sunshine and warm sunshine at that.

:46:52. > :46:58.North-west Scotland could get 20 today. If we look at the country at

:46:59. > :47:02.9am, starting in Scotland, the west is best, we start off from the word

:47:03. > :47:05.go with some fine but in the east there is more cloud around. Some

:47:06. > :47:11.pantry raider across northern England at 9am. As we come out,

:47:12. > :47:16.again some brighter breaks and cloud in the east -- patchy rain. The rain

:47:17. > :47:21.across us is moving northwards and it will weaken as it does. Currently

:47:22. > :47:26.it is moving northwards, across parts of the Midlands, East Anglia,

:47:27. > :47:30.parts of the southern counties. It's been heavily in Devon and Cornwall

:47:31. > :47:35.overnight, some parts have seen as much as an inch, and that will ease

:47:36. > :47:40.through the morning and we got it in south Wales but north Wales, drier

:47:41. > :47:43.and brighter. As we head into Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland

:47:44. > :47:47.will have a decent day if you like it's sunny and pleasantly warm.

:47:48. > :47:51.Talking of through the day, a noticeable breeze along the east

:47:52. > :47:55.coast blowing in cloud at times, especially in eastern Scotland.

:47:56. > :48:01.Bands of rain weaken and they turned more showery but some of the showers

:48:02. > :48:05.will be heavy and possibly thundery but in between them, sunny spells as

:48:06. > :48:09.well. Temperatures under the cloud that bit lower in the east, 11 or

:48:10. > :48:12.12, but if you're out of the cloud and showers, looking at the

:48:13. > :48:16.mid-teens, apart from the west where we could have mid-teens or high

:48:17. > :48:19.teens or possibly 20. Through the evening and overnight period you

:48:20. > :48:23.will find under the clear skies we will have them by night, so after a

:48:24. > :48:28.warm day, a cold night. Showers in the south fading and also a bit more

:48:29. > :48:34.cloud at times on the breeze in the east, temperatures roughly 7-9.

:48:35. > :48:38.Tomorrow we start with clear skies again in the north and west. Still

:48:39. > :48:42.more cloud in the east at times but it will break up and we will see

:48:43. > :48:45.sunny spells, but also showers developing in central parts of

:48:46. > :48:49.England and through the day they will drift to the south-west. You

:48:50. > :48:53.know the drill with showers, not all of will catch one and temperatures

:48:54. > :48:57.again around the mid-to-high teens in the sunshine in the west. By the

:48:58. > :49:05.time we get to Wednesday, we've got a bit more of the same, fairly

:49:06. > :49:08.settled, mostly dry, one or two showers, more cloud in southern

:49:09. > :49:12.areas, bright rather than wall to wall blue skies so the lion's share

:49:13. > :49:15.of the sunshine will be in the west where we have the highest

:49:16. > :49:19.temperatures. Before I go, Benny and Bjorn Rachel, a question. This buggy

:49:20. > :49:32.goes from 0-6 did in how many seconds? -- Ben and Rachel? -- 0-6

:49:33. > :49:35.did. I would go six. Nearly. Four. Four seconds, it is as fast as a

:49:36. > :49:42.Porsche. Wow, that is one of the few cars I

:49:43. > :49:47.would fit in, I am liking that, I would be able to step up to that

:49:48. > :49:54.one. Can you bring it back? With pleasure! I will dry off the seat,

:49:55. > :49:59.though. That is impressive, 0-60 in four seconds! She has been looking

:50:00. > :50:06.at the other trucks, they are pretty nice inside! Beds, fridges, very

:50:07. > :50:08.nice! A slightly less luxurious form of transport now but functional and

:50:09. > :50:09.important for many of us. They're used for five billion

:50:10. > :50:12.journeys every year to shop, work or study, yet bus services

:50:13. > :50:15.outside of London are in crisis, Councils across England and Wales

:50:16. > :50:18.have cut their budgets by a third since 2010,

:50:19. > :50:21.affecting thousands of routes. And it's the young, the less well

:50:22. > :50:25.off and those living in small towns and villages who are said to be

:50:26. > :50:28.the ones suffering most. Here's our transport

:50:29. > :50:30.correspondent, Richard Westcott. Time's running out

:50:31. > :50:33.for many of our buses. They carry three times more people

:50:34. > :50:37.than the trains but thousands of council-subsidised routes have

:50:38. > :50:41.gone in recent years. This is the 267 late-night service

:50:42. > :50:49.from Bath to Froome. It's one of the services

:50:50. > :50:54.that is facing cuts across the country, and in fact come

:50:55. > :50:57.September the funding for this service is going to

:50:58. > :50:59.run out completely. Most of the passengers

:51:00. > :51:02.on this bus are young, like Holly, who works

:51:03. > :51:06.lates in a restaurant. And Josh, who goes

:51:07. > :51:08.to college in Bath. They can't afford to drive,

:51:09. > :51:11.catch the more expensive train It's a really, really big deal

:51:12. > :51:16.because you just can't find the same opportunities in a small town

:51:17. > :51:19.like Froome, so being able to travel daily and nightly back from Bath,

:51:20. > :51:22.it's really important to me being able to earn enough money

:51:23. > :51:26.to live independently. How much longer have

:51:27. > :51:28.you got potentially going How are you going to get

:51:29. > :51:35.there for the next three years? Bath and North East Somerset council

:51:36. > :51:43.says other authorities should help fund the service because

:51:44. > :51:45.the passengers come First Bus has helped keep it

:51:46. > :51:51.going for a few extra months, but in reality unless a campaign can

:51:52. > :51:54.drum up more passengers, It's a story reflected across much

:51:55. > :52:02.of England and Wales. Campaigners say nearly 3,000

:52:03. > :52:04.council-subsidised routes have been 500 of them last year when two

:52:05. > :52:13.thirds of local authorities First Group run a fifth

:52:14. > :52:21.of the buses outside London, which is where these

:52:22. > :52:23.cuts are happening. We want to carry more customers,

:52:24. > :52:27.that's how we are successful, is how the communities

:52:28. > :52:29.we serve are successful. When we are criticised for bus cuts

:52:30. > :52:32.or whatever we do take it hard. We only ever withdraw a service

:52:33. > :52:36.as a very last resort and of course very often at the moment

:52:37. > :52:39.a service is being withdrawn because of reductions

:52:40. > :52:41.in local authority funding. Councils say years of cuts

:52:42. > :52:44.in government funding has forced A new buses bill will soon give them

:52:45. > :52:51.more powers to improve services, but back on the 267,

:52:52. > :52:55.passengers know that once their bus disappears, it almost

:52:56. > :52:56.never comes back. Moths are munching their way

:52:57. > :53:07.through our clothes in record numbers this year because of

:53:08. > :53:09.the unusually mild winter, according to the pest

:53:10. > :53:15.control company Rentokil. They say the number of calls

:53:16. > :53:20.to deal with infestation's doubled between February

:53:21. > :53:22.and March this year. The larvae make a meal

:53:23. > :53:26.of the protein found in natural materials such as wool and silk

:53:27. > :53:30.and leave behind telltale holes. Paul Hetherington is director

:53:31. > :53:44.of the charity Buglife and joins us Paul, good morning. Many people will

:53:45. > :53:48.have been subject to this, opened the wardrobe and found holes in

:53:49. > :53:52.their wardrobes. Why is it particularly bad at the moment?

:53:53. > :53:57.Well, it's nothing to do with winter weather because the reality is ever

:53:58. > :54:00.since we developed central heating, the clothes moths have been breeding

:54:01. > :54:04.and living in our houses and breeding and living all year round

:54:05. > :54:08.so it won't be anything to do with that phenomenon. I wonder if it's

:54:09. > :54:12.partly because people have got used to not having clothes moths around

:54:13. > :54:17.because there's been a big switch to acrylic type that aerials and will

:54:18. > :54:24.is coming back into vogue and people are using them more and they are

:54:25. > :54:28.finding clothes moths more because of those preventative measures not

:54:29. > :54:35.being used -- acrylic type materials. Is it all types of moths

:54:36. > :54:40.affecting all types of clothes? It is a particular species of moth that

:54:45. > :54:50.the family that this particular moth is in live on things like fundi.

:54:51. > :54:53.They are poor fliers, you will see them crawling rather than flying.

:54:54. > :54:58.The females have more ability to fly but as I say, they don't fly very

:54:59. > :55:05.far so if you've got them, they might get to your neighbours but not

:55:06. > :55:08.very much further. It is really about them being in your house and

:55:09. > :55:11.staying in your house and breeding within your house. Maybe not sending

:55:12. > :55:15.them to your neighbours! Let's talk about what you can do to prevent it,

:55:16. > :55:19.some preventative measures aren't as simple or as practical as you would

:55:20. > :55:23.like, you would say put it in a plastic bag but if you want to wear

:55:24. > :55:28.the clothes that isn't that viable, is it? No. Ceiling things in plastic

:55:29. > :55:32.bags is a sure way to prevent moths getting in. Washing things, getting

:55:33. > :55:41.them dry clean, shaking them will knock out any eggs and larvae so all

:55:42. > :55:43.of those are good preventative measures. There are chemical

:55:44. > :55:47.treatments, personally I wouldn't recommend any of them and you only

:55:48. > :55:51.have to look over the history of the different chemicals used, originally

:55:52. > :55:54.they used arsenic, then DDT, and then naphthalene, or have been

:55:55. > :55:59.banned because they are very dangerous to humans so it is good to

:56:00. > :56:02.take preventative measures. Keep the place clean. The moths are unhappy

:56:03. > :56:07.in the light, so if you have something you are using a lot then

:56:08. > :56:12.keep it out, give it a shake every day and things you don't use, wool

:56:13. > :56:20.blankets, shake them out and pack them nice and tight in a plastic

:56:21. > :56:23.bag, that will keep them safe. Are you saying people shouldn't go the

:56:24. > :56:28.whole hog and get things fixed fumigated and get the exterminators

:56:29. > :56:33.in, because you can't get rid of them in other ways? You can get rid

:56:34. > :56:38.of them with good hygiene, give yourself a spring clean, scrub it

:56:39. > :56:42.down, shake everything out, wash it and back it up and that should deal

:56:43. > :56:46.with the problem with outputting chemicals in your house because who

:56:47. > :56:50.knows of the long-term effect of those chemicals in your house. And

:56:51. > :56:55.they will have a bad effect on some of the good invertebrates in your

:56:56. > :57:00.house, like spiders, not everyone likes them but they do eat up the

:57:01. > :57:06.moths. Worth bearing in mind. Thanks for your advice. People, the

:05:43. > :05:44.Guy Hedger did not know them, The offenders went in to

:05:45. > :05:53.steal and they shot him. We have since launched a murder

:07:11. > :07:12.health groups in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland,

:07:13. > :07:19.has called for a commitment of GDP to be spent on health, as with

:07:20. > :07:23.defence and international aid. They note that UK health spending

:07:24. > :07:26.as a share of the economy at just under 10% is below that

:07:27. > :07:31.of France and Germany. The organisation has also called

:07:32. > :07:34.for an independent office to advise ministers on appropriate

:07:35. > :07:39.funding for the NHS. The Confederation says political

:10:08. > :10:11.called Emmanuel Macron but could Marine le Pen pull it out the bag

:10:12. > :10:17.this week? She's certainly hopes that she can. I think today being a

:10:18. > :10:21.national holiday, made the first, we will see competing versions of

:10:22. > :10:25.France, competing visions about what this country should be, which may

:10:26. > :10:28.give us an indication of how fractured this country is and where

:10:29. > :10:34.those candidates stand. Jean Marie Le Pen, the founder of the National

:11:37. > :11:39.which represents all NHS groups has come up with its own plan of what it

:11:40. > :11:44.would like to see. One of its key proposals

:11:45. > :11:46.is linking health spending To tell us more is Niall Dickson,

:11:47. > :11:58.chief Executive of The NHS Good morning. Thank you for your

:11:59. > :12:01.time this morning. We know we will hear an awful lot about this from

:12:02. > :12:05.the various different political parties in the next few weeks. I

:12:06. > :12:10.guess it is important for you guys to get your pitch in early. What is

:12:11. > :12:14.the main message you are sending out today? Everybody understands the

:12:15. > :12:19.Brexit negotiations are going to dominate this election, but I think

:12:20. > :12:23.we feel that the country faces another set of really important

:12:24. > :12:27.decisions, a round of funding, the cost and indeed the reform of health

:12:28. > :12:32.and care services. Which is why we believe that the level of funding

:12:33. > :12:35.should be linked to the gross domestic product, so when the

:12:36. > :12:40.economy grows, then the funding grows. We need to establish an

:12:41. > :12:47.independent body to assess level of need and the trends over the next

:12:48. > :12:50.ten or 20 years. So it is about trying to establish something that's

:12:51. > :12:55.independent of government, but also gives some clarity to government

:12:56. > :13:00.around, and to the population, about the levels of funding going into the

:13:01. > :13:04.system. Linking it to GDP is interesting. Traditionally the UK

:13:05. > :13:10.spends less per hen GDP on health than other countries do, the USA for

:13:11. > :13:13.example, Japan, France and Germany. But if you link it to economic

:13:14. > :13:17.performance, despite the fact things have been pretty robust in the last

:13:18. > :13:23.couple of years in the UK, it can dip down. Health needs themselves

:13:24. > :13:29.don't necessarily respond to that, they are a cute as ever. Isn't there

:13:30. > :13:32.a danger? I suppose there is. If you look at defence and you look at

:13:33. > :13:36.international aid, both of which have been linked, I think they have

:13:37. > :13:41.benefited from that clarity about how much government or all of us are

:13:42. > :13:44.willing to spend on that area. Of course, if a government finds itself

:13:45. > :13:50.with an economy that's going into recession, as we did in 2008,

:13:51. > :13:55.whether it is linked to GDP or not, the answer is funding levels and to

:13:56. > :14:01.are likely to suffer. People will make arguments to try and defend

:14:02. > :14:04.what is really difficult area, and what differentiate health and care

:14:05. > :14:08.from some other areas is perhaps the level of demand. If you look across

:14:09. > :14:12.the next 20 years, the number of people who are over 85 is going to

:14:13. > :14:17.double post I will say that again, will double. The effect of that on

:14:18. > :14:21.health and care is very profound and we need to ask ourselves pretty hard

:14:22. > :14:25.questions. We are not saying that funding is the be all and end all.

:14:26. > :14:28.It is necessary but it's not sufficient. The system needs to deal

:14:29. > :14:32.with a massive workforce crisis at the moment and it also needs to

:14:33. > :14:36.transform itself. It frankly is not fit for purpose at the moment.

:14:37. > :14:43.Setting those things aside, if it doesn't get enough funding, it won't

:14:44. > :14:45.be able to Gbyte of those things. Talking about our elderly, growing

:14:46. > :14:47.elderly population, so much discussion recently about

:14:48. > :14:52.integrating health and social care. We don't seem to be making a huge

:14:53. > :14:54.amount of progress. It may become a devolved issue, in Greater

:14:55. > :14:58.Manchester it's been talked about, if they could have control over

:14:59. > :15:03.social and health care. How do you see that panning out? I think you

:15:04. > :15:07.are right, integrating services, that is to say making sure that

:15:08. > :15:11.instead of having a system that is incentivised at the moment to do

:15:12. > :15:15.one-off interventions and do more and more of them, has to be able to

:15:16. > :15:18.cope with a very large number of elderly people who have got often

:15:19. > :15:23.lots of different long-term conditions. That means effectively

:15:24. > :15:26.trying to treat them earlier in the community and organising services so

:15:27. > :15:30.that when an elderly person find themselves going up the chain

:15:31. > :15:36.towards the hospital, that the system is geared to minimising the

:15:37. > :15:40.time that they have at the hospital end and maximising the amount of

:15:41. > :15:43.prevention and support that you can give them in the community. We are

:15:44. > :15:48.some way away from achieving that, but I think the whole system is

:15:49. > :15:51.committed to moving toward it, but we would argue there is also a need

:15:52. > :15:55.for some transitional funding, to enable people to build up new

:15:56. > :15:58.services while the older ones are run down. If I can mostly briefly,

:15:59. > :16:02.we are also talking about the option of setting up some kind of

:16:03. > :16:06.independent ombudsman to oversee funding of the NHS. A lot of voters

:16:07. > :16:11.would like to see the whole question of funding taken out of the Bish

:16:12. > :16:16.Bash Bosh of political parties, is it feasible? I don't think it is, it

:16:17. > :16:21.will always remain a political question. What we are saying is if

:16:22. > :16:23.you set up something like an Office for Budget Responsibility for

:16:24. > :16:26.health, that organisation will at least be able to provide the

:16:27. > :16:30.evidence and then we can have the political argument, which we will

:16:31. > :16:34.always have, about how much is a society do we want to go to meet

:16:35. > :16:39.those needs? Having an objective assessment of those neat and frankly

:16:40. > :16:42.holding my members to account for the value for money that they

:16:43. > :16:45.provide seems to us a way in which you could at least improve the

:16:46. > :16:49.quality of the debate. Thank you very much indeed. Good to talk to,

:18:29. > :18:34.Scotland. Temperatures up to 20 Celsius. At 9am across Scotland,

:18:35. > :18:38.West is best, in the East fairly cloudy. Further south into northern

:18:39. > :18:44.England, some patchy rain, brighter skies behind that, then across East

:18:45. > :18:49.Anglia into the Midlands, Southern counties, some rain, heavy this

:18:50. > :18:54.morning, Levien northwards it tends to weaken. Also it heavy rain in

:18:55. > :18:57.Devon and Cornwall Police, the rain still very much with this through

:18:58. > :19:02.the day but it will weaken as it drifts further south. For Wales,

:19:03. > :19:08.some rain this morning, North Wales dryer and brighter. Heading off into

:19:09. > :19:13.Northern Ireland, rather like Scotland, a fine and dry day later,

:19:14. > :19:17.a little bit more cloud building in the east. Through the course of the

:19:18. > :19:21.day, a breeze coming from the North Sea, that's bringing in the cloud

:19:22. > :19:25.but it will break here and there. The rain we have across England and

:19:26. > :19:29.Wales turning water shall worry but some of the showers will be heavy

:19:30. > :19:34.and thundery, in between there will be some sunshine in the north-west

:19:35. > :19:38.is where we will have the highest temperatures approaching 20, in the

:19:39. > :19:43.east more likely 11 or 12, but the rest of us, low to mid teens.

:19:44. > :19:47.Through the evening and overnight, under the skies in the West the

:19:48. > :19:52.temperature dropping quite quickly, a cold night, showers in the South

:19:53. > :19:58.fading. Still hanging onto some cloud in the East, temperatures

:19:59. > :20:01.roughly between six and 9 degrees. Tomorrow we start off with more

:20:02. > :20:07.cloud in the east, it will break up slowly as we go through the day,

:20:08. > :20:10.also prone to some showers across central England which will drift

:20:11. > :20:15.south west as we go through the day. You know the drill with showers, not

:20:16. > :20:20.all of this will catch them. Temperatures in the high teens. For

:20:21. > :20:24.Wednesday, in the South a little bit more cloud, bright, some sunny

:20:25. > :20:29.spells, rather than wall-to-wall blue sky and further north, once

:20:30. > :20:33.again, a fair bit of sunshine, the temperature is responding

:20:34. > :20:37.accordingly. Typical bank all the weather, Rachel and then. Raining

:20:38. > :20:42.today and dries up for most of as we go through the rest of the week. For

:20:43. > :20:48.most of us, it won't be raining mad! Can I say, you win the prize for the

:20:49. > :20:52.coolest and calmest person that ever sat under a flying quad bike. If you

:20:53. > :20:58.need anything on your CV, that is it. You look as if you're sitting

:20:59. > :21:03.there having a cup of tea. I am fully confident with Jason, he's

:21:04. > :21:13.brilliant. We like it. More from you later. Thank you.

:21:14. > :21:21.Six days, 26.2 miles and a two blistered knees later -

:21:22. > :21:23.the man who chose to crawl the London Marathon dressed

:21:24. > :21:26.as a Gorilla finally completed the course at the weekend.

:21:27. > :21:29.He moved on his hands and knees for around 12 hours a day

:21:30. > :21:31.and has so far raised more than ?30,000 for charity.

:21:32. > :21:34.Some call him mad, some call him Mr Gorilla -

:21:35. > :21:36.the man himself Tom Harrison is here in the studio!

:21:37. > :21:43.But before we speak to him, let's have a look at his journey.

:21:44. > :22:22.CHEERING APPLAUSE

:22:23. > :22:28.As you can see, Tom is here with us, good morning.

:22:29. > :22:31.Good morning. We could do the entire interview with your mouse gone but

:22:32. > :22:37.people might want to see who is underneath so if you want to take it

:22:38. > :22:41.off, it's up to you. I find it faintly disturbing! Here he is!

:22:42. > :22:45.Really nice to see you, congratulations first of all,

:22:46. > :22:52.incredible journey. Toggles what went through your mind. -- talk us

:22:53. > :22:57.through. The first thing was perhaps I had bitten off more than I could

:22:58. > :23:02.chew. I started off with a plan that I would do nine miles a day, that

:23:03. > :23:06.was my hope, by the end of the first day I'd only done for and a half

:23:07. > :23:11.miles, my knees were blistered. I started to get a little bit worried

:23:12. > :23:15.that I might not be able to get round, or I wouldn't be able to do

:23:16. > :23:21.it in three days. Talk us through the technique. What does it involve?

:23:22. > :23:28.I did a crawl a bit like a baby on hands and knees. And then because of

:23:29. > :23:34.my knees, being blistered I had to adapt and started walking on hands

:23:35. > :23:38.and feet. So like in the clip, I am sort of bent over, leaning onto my

:23:39. > :23:45.knuckles or my palms. That looks so uncomfortable. Did you train? In

:23:46. > :23:48.that way or did you just not bother, did you just think I'll do it and

:23:49. > :23:55.see how I get on? The training that I did do was four or five sessions

:23:56. > :23:58.on my hands and knees so I haven't trained using my hands and feet,

:23:59. > :24:04.really I have to just picked up as I went along. Yes, which was another

:24:05. > :24:09.reason why it turned out to be that bit harder. The other thing about

:24:10. > :24:14.the marathon, if you do it on the day, 5-6 hours, there are people

:24:15. > :24:19.there, the streets are aligned, presumably there are moments in this

:24:20. > :24:22.26 miles when it was just you crawling along the street and people

:24:23. > :24:26.must have been thinking what is that guy doing? Certainly, then the first

:24:27. > :24:31.mile and a half I didn't have anyone with me and all the runners left me

:24:32. > :24:36.far behind, people were giving me some strange looks and a wide berth,

:24:37. > :24:40.but some people were clapping, I had a number on my back and they

:24:41. > :24:45.realised what I was doing, I did still get a little bit of support

:24:46. > :24:47.but it was really only after Abate three, that it started to spread

:24:48. > :24:55.out. People were picking up on it I then. On social media, people were

:24:56. > :24:59.stopping me for photos, bringing me drinks and snacks, banana muffins,

:25:00. > :25:04.it got better as I went round. Let's talk about why you did it. Because

:25:05. > :25:08.it's an important cause. He went on a trip to Africa last year, that's

:25:09. > :25:12.all related to it, explain that for us. Last November I was lucky enough

:25:13. > :25:16.to go out to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and Uganda on a

:25:17. > :25:21.tour arranged by the gorilla organisation. They are a charity

:25:22. > :25:26.that I did the marathon for. And I was so inspired by seeing the

:25:27. > :25:33.gorillas in their natural habitat, seeing how content they were, just

:25:34. > :25:38.being left alone, and by all the work that the gorillas organisation

:25:39. > :25:41.do, is Rangers and working with the local people on the fringe of the

:25:42. > :25:44.Forest to make themselves sufficient, I thought I have got to

:25:45. > :25:51.do something more for them, something a bit special. And I

:25:52. > :25:56.thought how would a gorilla get round the London Marathon? Of course

:25:57. > :26:00.you did! Not that they would be daft enough to do one, but if they did,

:26:01. > :26:06.it would have been on their hands and feet, the knuckle walking.

:26:07. > :26:09.Gorillas more intelligent than us in that sense. Let's see you cross the

:26:10. > :26:14.line, this must have been the most amazing feeling, I doze your

:26:15. > :26:17.children beside you? The older one is Nicholas, the younger one is

:26:18. > :26:22.Alex, they walked the last 100 metres for me and Bill Oddie, and

:26:23. > :26:29.Ian Redmond met me at the finish with a toy gorilla and a trophy. Did

:26:30. > :26:33.they feel like the heaviest things in the world to hold? Yes,

:26:34. > :26:38.absolutely. And I went for a little swim yesterday and my arms were

:26:39. > :26:46.protesting at me doing that but it's all been in a great cause, my web

:26:47. > :26:51.page just giving .com/ Mister- gorilla is still open, I would urge

:26:52. > :26:56.people to jump on there and sponsor a great cause. I am amazed you are

:26:57. > :27:01.still in that suit because I think I would have burned it by now. The

:27:02. > :27:06.total is up to... With gift aid it's just over 40,000. Amazing, well

:27:07. > :27:10.done, brilliant, nice to see you. You are allowed a lie down now.

:27:11. > :30:37.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:38. > :30:45.Now though it's back to Rachel and Ben.

:36:38. > :36:38.champion Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night, Anthony Joshua

:36:39. > :36:44.And despite adding the WBO and IBO belts to his existing IBF title,

:36:45. > :36:47.here's how the Briton responded to being described as

:36:48. > :36:57.Do you know what it is, I am going back to the same house

:36:58. > :37:06.Perception and reach changes, but the ground I am

:37:07. > :37:18.I have to keep that mindset right now and keep my feet firmly

:37:19. > :37:27.Feet firmly on the ground. But life is about to change, global sporting

:37:28. > :37:32.star is a bit of an understatement when it comes to Anthony Joshua. But

:37:33. > :37:37.I think perhaps that attitude, he is so humble. I think that's why he's

:37:38. > :37:40.about to become a global superstar. And that sort of transcends the

:37:41. > :37:44.world of boxing and he pulls in those viewers, which the promoters

:37:45. > :37:48.will laugh because that is where the money lies. He's all over the

:37:49. > :37:56.papers, and rightly so, this morning. He has returned home and

:37:57. > :37:58.been reunited with his mum, going back to the launderette to pay his

:37:59. > :38:00.washing bills! Thank you. A childhood in an infamous care home

:38:01. > :38:04.and a short stint behind bars might not seem the most likely

:38:05. > :38:06.career path for an award But those experiences marked

:38:07. > :38:10.the early life of Alex Wheatle. He created the fictional

:38:11. > :38:12.South Crongton estate, where unemployment, deprivation

:38:13. > :38:16.and drugs are a part Crongton Knights told

:38:17. > :38:21.the tough, but often funny, Now he's taking us back

:38:22. > :38:25.there again in his new book Straight Outta Crongton,

:38:26. > :38:34.and he's with us this Terrific to have you here this

:38:35. > :38:39.morning. Thank you. In the short time we have we can't go into all

:38:40. > :38:43.the details of your really tough childhood, but it has obviously had

:38:44. > :38:47.a profound influence on you and your writing. Tell us a bit about your

:38:48. > :38:52.journey through to becoming an author modular it started at three

:38:53. > :38:55.years old when I was placed in Lambeth social services. I was in

:38:56. > :39:01.Shirley Oaks almost all my childhood. I left at 16 and moved to

:39:02. > :39:06.Brixton. You were physically abused in Shirley Oaks? Yes I was,

:39:07. > :39:10.violently, physically and sexually and even mentally. I had that to

:39:11. > :39:16.overcome and I had depression for many years. How old when you left

:39:17. > :39:22.Marcello 16, 15 or 16. What kind of a 16-year-old were you Marcello very

:39:23. > :39:27.confused, low self 16. I didn't believe I could contribute to

:39:28. > :39:31.society in any way. I felt like an outsider, so alone and isolated. All

:39:32. > :39:36.those issues to deal with. Where did you go from there? From there,

:39:37. > :39:41.funnily enough my prison stint helped me. I bumped into someone who

:39:42. > :39:45.I shared a cell with and they encouraged me to start reading and

:39:46. > :39:49.to write down my feelings and try to get this bitterness out of me. So it

:39:50. > :39:56.first came out in poetry and song lyrics. That really helped me come

:39:57. > :40:02.to terms with issues on the bitterness I had growing up. From

:40:03. > :40:07.that writing came at the book series on the latest... You talk about the

:40:08. > :40:10.issues in it, dealing with gangs and drugs and physical aggression and

:40:11. > :40:18.verbal abuse. Pretty heavy issues to deal with. Young people have to deal

:40:19. > :40:20.with pretty serious issues, and it's not just a south London thing. I

:40:21. > :40:26.travelled quite widely promoting my books. The other day I was in the

:40:27. > :40:32.north of Newcastle and I came across the same problems I see in South

:40:33. > :40:36.London. This latest novel is about a young girl, 15 years old, and many

:40:37. > :40:40.people, many young children now don't live in the traditional

:40:41. > :40:46.nuclear family is, so I decided to change the narrative. Sometimes we

:40:47. > :40:51.see a young boy maybe not getting on with his mum's boyfriend father's

:40:52. > :40:55.girlfriend, but I try to change the narrative. I thought it would be

:40:56. > :40:59.more interesting from a young girl's perspective, she doesn't get on with

:41:00. > :41:03.her mother's boyfriend and he's quite abusive towards. Who do these

:41:04. > :41:07.books tend to work for? There are two ways you can read them, an

:41:08. > :41:11.outsider looking in and realising what many young people are facing,

:41:12. > :41:14.but also if you are a young person going through exactly this, it's

:41:15. > :41:20.some sort of help and reassurance you're not alone. Yes, that you are

:41:21. > :41:23.not alone, someone is writing for you, writers are out there trying to

:41:24. > :41:27.relate their experiences. I think it is so important. There are so many

:41:28. > :41:32.people up and down trying to deal with these kinds of issues I'm

:41:33. > :41:36.trying to write about. I'm trying to do something for children in those

:41:37. > :41:41.situations. There's a gap between representation in the literary world

:41:42. > :41:45.of young people, young people of colour in particular. I think you've

:41:46. > :41:50.said it goes way beyond just having black borders that are represented,

:41:51. > :41:55.it goes right through the publishing industry. It does. There was a

:41:56. > :41:59.recent report, I believe, that highlighted this case. I think some

:42:00. > :42:04.of their major publishers have dealt with this. My publisher are dealing

:42:05. > :42:08.with this, setting up the unit to deal with this issue, to get more

:42:09. > :42:11.representation within the workforce. There is a long way to go but I

:42:12. > :42:16.believe it has started. Young people of that kind of age, teenagers, are

:42:17. > :42:22.they reading still, as much as you would want? We have the Harry Potter

:42:23. > :42:28.effects but it was a Jan cashback a younger age group. If we provide the

:42:29. > :42:33.sources they are interested in, they will come to read it. It is up to

:42:34. > :42:37.ask authors on the industry to provide relative stories they can

:42:38. > :42:43.engage in. I think it is down to us. Also very current, you talk about

:42:44. > :42:46.being moved by some of the marchers, like the women's march in Washington

:42:47. > :42:50.in response to Donald Trump's presidency. That was a big

:42:51. > :42:54.motivator. It was. When I was editing the last chapters of

:42:55. > :43:00.Straight Outta Crongton, is about three girls trying surviving a

:43:01. > :43:05.particular situation, I'd dedicated the book to those marchers. I have

:43:06. > :43:10.family in Washington, DC, sisters and a brother. The movement movement

:43:11. > :43:15.quite deeply. I thought it was apt to dedicate the book to that. Alex,

:43:16. > :43:18.you yourself have an amazing story to tell. Good luck with your book

:43:19. > :43:20.and thank you for coming in to talk to us about it.

:43:21. > :43:22.Alex's new book is called Straight Outta Crongton.

:43:23. > :43:30.Time for some weather with Carol is out and about this morning. We have

:43:31. > :43:39.seen incredible sites this morning. Jumped by a quad bike earlier! You

:43:40. > :43:45.look a bit more safe on solid ground now.

:43:46. > :43:50.For now, yes. Good morning to you. The truck behind me is amazing. This

:43:51. > :43:55.is a monster truck. It is 14 foot tall, 12 foot wide and its tyres are

:43:56. > :44:01.five foot six and height. It is one of a monster trucks taking part

:44:02. > :44:06.today. Expected to be about 40,000 people coming today. There are 3000

:44:07. > :44:09.trucks and monster trucks taking part and lots of fun things for the

:44:10. > :44:15.family to do. You can look at the quad bikes in the background as

:44:16. > :44:21.well. It has been pouring buckets this morning, which is why it is so

:44:22. > :44:25.muddy. As we go through the day, the rain we have will turn weaker and

:44:26. > :44:28.more patchy and more showery in nature. The brighter skies today

:44:29. > :44:32.will be in north-west Scotland, that is where we will have the highest

:44:33. > :44:36.temperatures. Northern Ireland not faring too badly either. For

:44:37. > :44:40.Scotland this morning at nine o'clock, the West is best in terms

:44:41. > :44:46.of sunshine. The East seeing a bit more cloud. Moving south into

:44:47. > :44:51.northern England, here there is some rain. A few brighter breaks in the

:44:52. > :44:57.cloud and then back into the rain across East Anglia, into the

:44:58. > :45:03.Midlands and the Southern counties. There have been some heavy rain in

:45:04. > :45:08.northern Cornwall. Through the morning that will weaken. The south

:45:09. > :45:11.Wales, again, some rain this morning but turning more showery through the

:45:12. > :45:15.course of the day. North Wales after a drier and brighter start. For

:45:16. > :45:18.Northern Ireland, again this morning a fine start for you. We will see

:45:19. > :45:22.some sunshine through the course of the day, a little more cloud

:45:23. > :45:27.developing in the east. Not a particularly cold start to the day.

:45:28. > :45:31.Through the course of the day, there is a noticeable breeze coming in

:45:32. > :45:36.from the North Sea. You will also see a bit more cloud coming in from

:45:37. > :45:40.the North Sea. Even so, some holes in the cloud. The rain will turn

:45:41. > :45:44.more showery in England and Wales but some of those showers will be

:45:45. > :45:49.heavy and sundry. Many of us will miss them. In Northern Ireland,

:45:50. > :45:52.sunny spells prevail and hear the highest temperatures, approaching 20

:45:53. > :45:56.in some parts. Through the evening and overnight, where we have the

:45:57. > :46:00.clearest skies every day we will hang on overnight, after a warm day

:46:01. > :46:03.the temperature will dip rapidly in be cold. We hang on to the cloud in

:46:04. > :46:08.eastern areas and showers in the South will fade and die, with

:46:09. > :46:13.temperatures between 7-9. Tomorrow, we start off with the

:46:14. > :46:16.cloud in the East, breezy. There will be some showers developing in

:46:17. > :46:21.the day in central parts of England. They will tend to drift towards the

:46:22. > :46:25.south-west. But for most of us, a dry day. Temperatures into the mid

:46:26. > :46:30.to high teens. Then by the time we get to Wednesday, Wednesday sees the

:46:31. > :46:34.southern half of the country with a bit more cloud, bright with sunny

:46:35. > :46:37.skies, but once again the north and north-west hanging on to the

:46:38. > :46:43.sunshine for the longest. Temperatures very similar. We saw in

:46:44. > :46:48.the background the quad bike doing fantastic tricks. What we have is

:46:49. > :46:53.the driver with us, Jason. Let me chat to you for a bit about what you

:46:54. > :46:57.have been doing. It has been spectacular. That stunt you did when

:46:58. > :46:59.you just flew right over us in the monster truck, how long did it take

:47:00. > :47:11.to practice? It wasn't too long, I started racing

:47:12. > :47:19.motocross as a young lad, it was just moving from doing stunts to

:47:20. > :47:23.doing it across a metal rod. What inspired you to do it? I retired

:47:24. > :47:27.from motocross but I wanted to ride bikes for a living, I wanted to

:47:28. > :47:31.think of something else I could do and it came about, the idea of

:47:32. > :47:35.putting and making an exhibition. Do you come up with all your own

:47:36. > :47:41.routines? That's right, we design a new routine each year, it's all our

:47:42. > :47:45.own programme and we try to keep it entertaining. How do you keep it

:47:46. > :47:49.safe, it looks pretty dangerous, we shouldn't be trying this at home?

:47:50. > :47:53.It's difficult to keep it safe, we try our best, to make sure we do the

:47:54. > :47:58.same routine every single time and go through the same safety checks

:47:59. > :48:02.every time, that part of it is very important, and also try to stay on

:48:03. > :48:08.edge, stay nervous, it keeps you on top of your game. What's the most

:48:09. > :48:11.dangerous routine you do? I think probably on a day like today when

:48:12. > :48:16.it's wet and the grass is quite wet and muddy, you are struggling for

:48:17. > :48:20.traction and that it comes a lot more dangerous than if it were a

:48:21. > :48:25.nice dry day. You very kindly promised to give me a little ride

:48:26. > :48:37.nearby, might is Assistant will provide me with a hat, Al just get

:48:38. > :48:45.this on... Helmet on. Ready to go. STUDIO: Carol is off. My goodness. I

:48:46. > :48:49.am hoping they are not going to do the job they did earlier commenters

:48:50. > :48:54.to be clear. That Carol and she is off, hopefully she will be back

:48:55. > :48:59.tomorrow. Just the look in her eyes as she got on. She has done so well

:49:00. > :49:10.this morning, she has a here full of mod, soaking wet... She might need a

:49:11. > :49:13.shower later! It's 8:49am. But first...

:49:14. > :49:15.If you're eating out, and you're so full you just

:49:16. > :49:21.A survey suggests two-fifths of people are reluctant

:49:22. > :49:24.This is contributing to millions of tonnes

:49:25. > :49:33.That's assuming there are leftovers come off when I'm out for dinner,

:49:34. > :49:36.more often than not there isn't. Now restaurants in Scotland

:49:37. > :49:38.are taking part in a scheme to get people to take

:49:39. > :49:40.their unfinished meals home. Holly Hamilton has

:49:41. > :49:43.been to find out more. When it comes to dining out,

:49:44. > :49:45.we're spoilt for choice. And in an all super-sized era,

:49:46. > :49:48.portion sizes are getting bigger And yet even if we can't manage

:49:49. > :49:52.to finish everything on our plate, most of us are quite reluctant

:49:53. > :49:55.to ask for it to be boxed up and taken home with us,

:49:56. > :49:58.in other words a doggy bag. Adam, do you mind if

:49:59. > :50:00.I get the rest to go? In fact, one survey found that

:50:01. > :50:06.while 70% of people said they'd like a doggy bag, 42% said they'd be

:50:07. > :50:09.too embarrassed to ask for one. Makes you feel a bit conscious

:50:10. > :50:25.of the fact that you might be looked upon differently if

:50:26. > :50:27.you ask for the food. If they give you too big a helping

:50:28. > :50:31.and you can't finish it you've paid for it, so you got a choice

:50:32. > :50:34.of taking it home and having it That's sensible as far

:50:35. > :50:39.as I'm concerned. I have on numerous occasions

:50:40. > :50:41.and I don't have any problem It's so much waste,

:50:42. > :50:45.I have a small appetite, I enjoy good food but I would

:50:46. > :50:48.like to take it home with me. I never ask for a doggy bag

:50:49. > :50:51.because look at my plate, In Scotland it could soon be

:50:52. > :50:55.the norm with plans to introduce doggy bags to all restaurants

:50:56. > :51:00.as part of a plan to cut food waste. Excuse me, sir, would you like that

:51:01. > :51:03.wrapped in a doggy bag? Well, a lot of restaurants

:51:04. > :51:09.offer doggy bags already, What Good to Go does is that

:51:10. > :51:12.extra bit of promotion, so you're actively

:51:13. > :51:14.offering a doggy bag. We did a pilot and pleased to say

:51:15. > :51:17.it was really positive and something that restaurants told us

:51:18. > :51:20.they wanted, and customers too Across the UK food waste costs

:51:21. > :51:24.the restaurant sector more than ?600 million a year, with eateries

:51:25. > :51:27.producing nearly 200,000 tons. More than a third of that

:51:28. > :51:29.waste comes straight Campaigners here say if restaurants

:51:30. > :51:35.routinely offered doggy bags it would save the equivalent of 800,000

:51:36. > :51:42.meals going in the bin every year. I do think that it's our

:51:43. > :51:45.responsibility to make sure people are aware of the fact it's

:51:46. > :51:48.OK to take food home, it's OK to reheat it

:51:49. > :51:51.and it is fit for purpose. We're talking about a world that

:51:52. > :51:54.has a food crisis in it So people taking food home,

:51:55. > :51:59.we're just giving them that opportunity and actually intervening

:52:00. > :52:01.rather than waiting for them to ask Doggy bags are common practice

:52:02. > :52:07.in the US and even in France restaurants are now legally

:52:08. > :52:09.obliged now to provide one But here in the UK,

:52:10. > :52:17.old habits die hard. As a nation we don't

:52:18. > :52:19.like to make a fuss, but with ambitious targets to cut

:52:20. > :52:22.food waste by 20% within the next ten years, maybe it's time to start

:52:23. > :52:25.thinking inside the box. Right, it's that time again -

:52:26. > :52:53.we're giving you advance Do not say we did not warn you. Just

:52:54. > :52:59.to be clear. This is your ad fans notice. -- ad fans.

:53:00. > :53:02.was finally unmasked last night in the dramatic finale

:53:03. > :53:06.The BBC One drama has had us hooked for weeks,

:53:07. > :53:09.and it didn't disappoint as fans took to social media to show

:53:10. > :53:12.Here's a scene from last night's episode.

:53:13. > :53:20.DCI Roz Huntley's husband is facing some tough questions by police.

:53:21. > :53:29.I don't know! How would you describe your emotional state that evening?

:53:30. > :53:35.Were you in a frame of mind to control your wife's behaviour? She

:53:36. > :53:40.was the one that went to the flat. There are no witnesses to your wife

:53:41. > :53:45.entering the flat, no CCTV, no traffic cameras... She left her

:53:46. > :53:51.mobile at home. So did you. I was in a rush, I forgot it. This fellow,

:53:52. > :53:56.Timothy, who may or may not have been having sex with your wife, what

:53:57. > :54:01.did you plan to do? Nothing, why would I plan to kill him? How could

:54:02. > :54:09.I. We will look at three things opportunity. You were there. Means.

:54:10. > :54:15.Motive. You believed he was having an affair with your wife. She is

:54:16. > :54:18.trying to frame me. So good! If you haven't seen it, you have such a

:54:19. > :54:20.treat in store. We are joined... We're joined now by Maya Sondhi

:54:21. > :54:23.whose character WPC Maneet Bindra left viewers shocked

:54:24. > :54:37.after she seemingly You of all people! It's not my

:54:38. > :54:41.fault. It was you! It was a big shock to me too. I was reading it

:54:42. > :54:45.and I was walking through an airport because it's so exciting when you

:54:46. > :54:51.get the script and I was reading it, really, really small and have I just

:54:52. > :54:58.read that right, I was thinking. And I thought, no! I was a bit gutted.

:54:59. > :55:02.The relationship that you had with a CC Hilton is left up in the air, we

:55:03. > :55:06.don't really know what happened and what your role was and why you were

:55:07. > :55:11.there and involved are not. And I don't either! The big finale last

:55:12. > :55:16.night, did you watch it. What did you make of it? I loved it, I hadn't

:55:17. > :55:20.seen it, I knew what was going to happen because I read the script but

:55:21. > :55:23.when you are filming it, you fill your bit, you haven't seen the rest

:55:24. > :55:28.of it, when it's put together it's so exciting. To see it live like

:55:29. > :55:34.everyone else. Events TV. What did you think? We loved it. We were

:55:35. > :55:38.discussing this morning about whether it lives up to the previous

:55:39. > :55:43.series. I think Ben was expect the massive should add that we had at

:55:44. > :55:46.the end of series three but iPod but was crazy and I like the fact it was

:55:47. > :55:52.a little bit more contained this time. We still have to get up early

:55:53. > :55:56.to do this and I was lying in bed completely unable to sleep. A great

:55:57. > :56:02.story, you were pregnant in the series, you were actually pregnant

:56:03. > :56:06.and you'd said to them, I was lovely, I was asked back for a

:56:07. > :56:10.series four, I was thrilled, but then I was really worried because I

:56:11. > :56:17.was pregnant and so I text to Jed mercurial who writes and created the

:56:18. > :56:22.show and I said I'd love to come back but I'm pregnant, I don't know

:56:23. > :56:25.what to do. And he said, it's brilliant, it totally goes with your

:56:26. > :56:28.character, we invited in. Let's look at the bit you left, this was your

:56:29. > :56:50.departure, temporarily... I feel drained, served. It's not

:56:51. > :56:58.long until the start of my maternity leave. I see. Things are beginning

:56:59. > :57:03.to get on top of me. And the timing couldn't be worse. I really need all

:57:04. > :57:07.my best people, you know? The last thing I want to do is let you in the

:57:08. > :57:11.department down. This is what's so wonderful comic you are watching up,

:57:12. > :57:14.watching what's going on, why is she leaving and it starts to become

:57:15. > :57:18.clear but so many unanswered questions. It's a brilliant ensemble

:57:19. > :57:22.piece in television, what's it like working with the cows? Are wonderful

:57:23. > :57:26.and I genuinely can't say this, when I started on the third series I was

:57:27. > :57:30.terrified because it's such an intense drama and you think is

:57:31. > :57:34.everyone going to be serious, take themselves too seriously? You go and

:57:35. > :57:38.Vicki and Morton and Adrian and Craig from series three they went

:57:39. > :57:43.like that... They are like a massive family and they are so good at what

:57:44. > :57:49.they do so generous. And Sandy Newton who a new layer. I thought

:57:50. > :57:56.Daniel Mays was incredible and then I thought... We were so conflict

:57:57. > :57:59.did, did we like, didn't we? This series was particularly female

:58:00. > :58:07.heavy, really strong women earning the show and I think that's, Jed

:58:08. > :58:09.writes women fantastically. You talk about it being events TV and also

:58:10. > :58:16.for the first time, people doing it on social media as well, do you look

:58:17. > :58:20.at that reaction, you are watching and you think... After episode four

:58:21. > :58:26.Twitter went into meltdown, people were so upset, I didn't realise how

:58:27. > :58:32.much people reacted. I felt really disappointed in myself, actually!

:58:33. > :58:36.There is another series. There is. The end of this year, maybe next,

:58:37. > :58:41.Jed is so busy. I think he's got another show to write. And you are

:58:42. > :58:46.not going to reveal anything about capital H and who it is... I don't

:58:47. > :58:50.know, I couldn't honestly tell you. You left us up in the air but we

:58:51. > :58:54.have loved it. Thank you so much. Good to see you. Remember, all of

:58:55. > :58:55.the episodes of the season are on Dan and Louise will be

:58:56. > :59:04.here from 6am tomorrow morning. We asked you to tell us

:59:05. > :59:07.what's left you feeling totally ripped off and you

:59:08. > :59:10.contacted us in your thousands. You've told us about the companies

:59:11. > :59:14.that you think get it wrong,
