We'll find out about a new scheme aiming to change that. | :01:25. | :01:29. | |
And Carol is out and about with the weather. Hello. Good morning from | :01:30. | :01:43. | |
Truckfest. 40,000 are expected to see some amazing vehicles. | :01:44. | :01:51. | |
Everything is in here. Outside it is raining. The forecast is some bright | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
spells, rain, and a few showers. Brightest skies in Scotland and | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
Northern Ireland, especially in the west. I will have more details in | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
about 15 minutes. Thank you. Social media companies | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
are being accused of a "shameful" failure to tackle on-line terrorist | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
propaganda and hate speech. A report by a group of MPs claims | :02:12. | :02:13. | |
sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Google put more effort | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
into protecting their profits than keeping the public | :02:17. | :02:19. | |

again of doing nowhere near enough to tackle illegal, abusive, or | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
extremist posts. I think the richest and biggest companies in the world | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
have both the ability and responsibility to make sure that | :02:54. | :02:56. | |
this kind of illegal and dangerous material is removed to be I don't | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
think they are taking this seriously enough and they need to. The MP | :03:01. | :03:10. | |
suggested this. They proposed this as well. That is similar to the | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
model used in football where clubs pay for policing on match days. All | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
three companies criticised in the report defended their approach to on | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
line safety and say they are committed to doing more. Facebook, | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
Twitter, and Google all have ways to report things we see on line which | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
may be illegal or inappropriate. The report from the MP criticises those | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
companies for relying too much in uses and says they are effectively | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
outsourcing policing with zero expense. -- users. This is not the | :03:44. | :03:49. | |
first time they have been criticised for this. They have to continue | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
balancing a platform for free speech and stopping those who abuse it. | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
Jonathan Blake, BBC News. We'll be discussing this with social | :03:58. | :03:59. | |
media expert Luc Delany just A man killed during an attempted | :04:00. | :04:02. | |
burglary at a house in Dorset has 61-year-old, Guy Hedger, | :04:03. | :04:07. | |
was shot as intruders entered the property in the early | :04:08. | :04:10. | |
hours of Sunday morning. Police cordoned off a quiet | :04:11. | :04:23. | |
cul-de-sac which has now become a murder scene. Officers were first | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
called here after 3am yesterday. There were three more intruders in | :04:28. | :04:34. | |
the houses. Police believe that Guy Hedger did not know them, but they | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
shot him dead. The offenders went into steel and they shot him. -- | :04:40. | :04:49. | |
steal. He tragically died in hospital. We have launched a murder | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
enquiry and ask anyone with information to come forward to help | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
us. A second person who lived in the house was there at the time. They | :04:59. | :05:02. | |
said they were left deeply affected by what happened and are now being | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
cared for by specially trained officers. Police say that the area | :05:06. | :05:12. | |
will remain cordoned off and there will be patrols today to offer | :05:13. | :05:16. | |
reassurance to the community. They want to hear from anyone who saw | :05:17. | :05:19. | |
anything suspicious. The key question is, what led to the | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
shooting, and why Guy Hedger lost his life. The hunt for the killers | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
continued. BBC News. -- continues. The organisation representing NHS | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
groups has called on political parties to commit to linking health | :05:36. | :05:38. | |
spending to the growth The NHS Confederation also wants | :05:39. | :05:40. | |
whoever forms the next government to set up an independent body | :05:41. | :05:44. | |
to work out how much funding is needed to meet | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
the needs of the NHS. Parliament is to be dissolved | :05:48. | :05:52. | |
later this week ahead of June's General Election, | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
but campaigning by all sides This morning, a pledge from Labour | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
to clamp down on bad landlords, with tougher fines for those | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
who fail to provide safe housing. Let's find out more from our | :06:03. | :06:05. | |
political correspondent, Leila Nathoo, who's | :06:06. | :06:07. | |
in our London newsroom. What more can you tell us about | :06:08. | :06:17. | |
these particular proposals from Labour? This is Labour going after | :06:18. | :06:25. | |
generation Rent. There are a lot of people in that group, up to 11 | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
million. They want to give tenants more rights and punish bad landlords | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
to keep property in bad condition. They want a legal minimum standard | :06:34. | :06:42. | |
on renting, like getting rid of damp and pests and stuff like that. They | :06:43. | :06:45. | |
want councils to bring in licensing and bringing fines for up to | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
?100,000 for ignoring the rules. They say it is better to target the | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
bad landlords than having a broad licensing scream. They say it will | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
be borne by the tenants. And there are already powers to crack down on | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
rogue landlords. Renters are a big group. It is a target for both main | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
parties. Expect to hear more about housing when we see the manifestoes | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
later this month. Leila Nathoo, thank you very much. | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
Later, we'll be speaking to the Shadow Housing Minister John Healey. | :07:23. | :07:30. | |
A man's died and a woman was seriously injured in separate | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
incidents during a motocross and quad-biking event in County | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
The rider was taken by air ambulance to hospital but died | :07:38. | :07:40. | |
Later, a woman also had to be airlifted from the private meeting | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
Police closed the event on safety grounds. | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
Campaigning in the French presidential elections | :07:48. | :07:48. | |
is entering its final week ahead of the vote on Sunday. | :07:49. | :07:51. | |
Both candidates, the centrist, Emmanuel Macron, and his far-right | :07:52. | :07:54. | |
opponent, Marine le Pen, will lead major rallies around | :07:55. | :07:56. | |
Opinion polls taken since the first round of voting last week suggest | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
The testing of primary school children, used to make important | :08:01. | :08:06. | |
decisions about students, is damaging and should be reformed | :08:07. | :08:09. | |
according to an influential group of MPs. | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
The cross-party Education Select Committee says the way SATs results | :08:12. | :08:14. | |
are used to judge schools, causes a negative impact | :08:15. | :08:16. | |
Here's our education correspondent, Marc Ashdown. | :08:17. | :08:29. | |
Even from a young age, children are well accustomed | :08:30. | :08:37. | |
to being tested, but MPs are worried the importance placed nowadays | :08:38. | :08:39. | |
on how children perform in isolated tests leads | :08:40. | :08:42. | |
Results are used to judge schools in annual performance tables, | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
which this Education Select Committee report has said can create | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
a high-stakes environment, damaging to students and teachers. | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
These Year 6 students are gearing up for their test. | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
It is a good school in a challenging area of London. | :09:01. | :09:03. | |
The reality is children at the age of ten or 11 are going to do | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
an hour's test, which will evaluate their reading for four years. | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
For us, as a school, it is high stakes too, | :09:13. | :09:24. | |
As an alternative, a rolling three-year average | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
Ofsted said it already looks for a broad curriculum. | :09:29. | :09:41. | |
The Department for Education has said it will consider the report | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
At least nine people are now confirmed to have died as tornados | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
hit the US State of Texas over the weekend. | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
More than 50 people in hospital according to local authorities. | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
The American midwest has been struck by an intensive weather system that | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
has caused damage across several states, including neighbouring | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
Missouri and Oklahoma, which are now in a state of emergency. | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
A chance discovery by a preschool child has saved a family of owls. | :10:09. | :10:16. | |
Three large eggs were found in a bucket in a forest school near | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
Winchester. At first, quite rightly, they were not sure what it was, | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
until they saw that flying from the outdoor loo. They set up a camera | :10:27. | :10:40. | |
and caught the father owl feeding them while the mother hatched the | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
eggs. They have been named Twit and Twoo I see what they did there. So | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
gorgeous. Testing your knowledge, what birds were they? I have no | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
idea. Me either. Someone out there can tell us. Don't worry about it. | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
Get in touch in all of the usual ways. Kat, do you know what kind of | :11:02. | :11:15. | |
outlet was? A tawny, I would have said. Barn? Little? Snowy? Eagle? | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
There are many types. Honestly, I was reading about Rod Stewart | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
watching his son play. A real family affair. Starting off with the | :11:29. | :11:35. | |
Premier League understandably because Chelsea, I think, overcame | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
their last big hurdle. They have four more matches to go. By the | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
rhino easy games in the Premier League. -- but there are no. Everton | :11:45. | :11:55. | |
were the last big challenge. They brushed them aside yesterday. | :11:56. | :11:58. | |
Antonio Conte was happy with that. They need to win three of their last | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
four. Easy peasy. Good morning, everybody. | :12:06. | :12:06. | |
Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, says his side must become champions | :12:07. | :12:09. | |
in order for a good season to become a "fantastic" one. | :12:10. | :12:12. | |
The Blues showed showed title winning form with an impressive 3-0 | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
But second placed Spurs are keeping the pressure on the leaders. | :12:16. | :12:34. | |
They're just four points behind Chelsea after beating Arsenal 2-0 | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
in the last derby at White Hart Lane. | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
The victory means Spurs will finish above Arsenal for the first time | :12:40. | :12:42. | |
Lewis Hamilton says he needs to recover his speed after losing | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
ground to championship leader Sebastian Vettell | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
The Briton finished fourth, while his Mercedes teammate | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Valtteri Bottas won his first ever F1 race. | :12:52. | :13:00. | |
And after the first day of the World Championship Snooker | :13:01. | :13:03. | |
final at the Crucible, John Higgins leads defending | :13:04. | :13:05. | |
Selby won the final three frames last night to stay in touch. | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
They will play to a conclusion today, it's the first to 18. | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
It is a tight one. 10-7. It could go anywhere. Especially with Selby. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Stay with us because we want to hear more about Rod Stewart. Especially | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
the picture. Yesterday we were talking about all of the boxing | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
fallout. It is still all over the papers. Lovely pictures. I will show | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
you those in a few minutes' time. Carol. She is out looking to buy a | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
car this morning. She is in Peterborough. Good morning. Some | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
very large trucks. This gentleman knows all about them. What is | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
happening behind us? Behind us at the moment you can see Swamp Thing, | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
one of the most up-to-date monster trucks available. A full on raising | :13:57. | :14:02. | |
monster truck like would see in America-- racing. He will show are | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
some of the power it has and maybe we will crush some cars, my | :14:08. | :14:16. | |
favourite thing to do at Truckfest. They will give passenger rides all | :14:17. | :14:20. | |
day to people who come along. You can experience being in one of | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
these. It is fantastic. Truckfest is my favourite event of the year. I | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
have come here 20 years myself. I think it it has been going for 35. | :14:32. | :14:37. | |
You can see amazing customised trucks. It is the biggest thing like | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
this in Europe. It never ceases to amaze me how much of a family day | :14:42. | :14:47. | |
out Truckfest will be. People of all ages are here, it is amazing. I | :14:48. | :14:56. | |
think he crushed some cars. How many people are you expecting today? If | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
we have a good turnout we can expect 40,000 people here today, an amazing | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
thing in itself. It's not just in Peterborough, it's happening in | :15:06. | :15:08. | |
other parts of the country? It's, like, eight different offence around | :15:09. | :15:12. | |
the country, we go to everyone with the cruiser because we like to give | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
people rides in the truck and give them the chance to experience that | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
so its ever-growing, it gets bigger and bigger every year and it's great | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
to be a part of it. Today is the last day, I hope it goes well, and | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
the weather, although wet at the moment should improve. Thanks very | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
much. It is raining in Peterborough this morning, but through the day | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
the rain will ease. The warmest conditions today will be in the | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
north-west, it will be wet as we come further south, so we're looking | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
at a mixture of rain and showers but the rain we have at the moment | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
continuing to weaken as it goes north. This morning at 9am, starting | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
in Scotland, a lot of sunshine in the west and this is where we're | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
going to see the highest temperatures today. In the east | :15:58. | :16:00. | |
there is a bit more cloud around, but it is dry. Coming south into | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
northern England, a little line of rain around 9am, not especially | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
heavy, and although we will see brighter skies as we come further | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
south at times we still have rain in the Midlands, East Anglia, | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
south-east England and along southern counties. Into the | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
south-west, we have had some heavy rain in Devon in particular | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
overnight, about an inch, and that rain will tend to ease a touch as we | :16:25. | :16:31. | |
go through the day, on and off, some extending into south-west Wales too | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
but the rest of Wales will be largely dry to start an similar in | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
Northern Ireland, bright start with sunny spells coming through. Through | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
the morning all the rain in the south weakens as it goes north and | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
also pushes eastwards across southern counties, it will turn more | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
showery and we will see brighter skies in between. With the breeze | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
coming in from the North Sea generally across eastern Scotland | :16:56. | :16:59. | |
and also eastern England, it will feel cooler. The highs temperatures | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
the further north and west you are, we could see approaching 20 in parts | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
of north-west Scotland. Where we've got the clear skies by day and the | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
higher temperatures by night, we also have clear skies and low | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
temperatures, so cold in the night in parts of Scotland and Northern | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
Ireland, still the cloud coming in across the east and we lose the | :17:19. | :17:22. | |
showers across the south through the night, pulling away into the Channel | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
Islands. Tomorrow, similar to today in that we will still see some of | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
that cloud coming in from the North Sea across eastern counties of | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
Scotland and England. It will break at times, brighter skies as we go | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
further west, but the risk of showers anywhere across England and | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
those showers in the Midlands will be drifting down towards the | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
south-west through the cause of the day. As we head into Wednesday, | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
again a bit more cloud at times, coming in from the east but more | :17:52. | :17:54. | |
cloud in the south, bright skies with sunny intervals. Once again it | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
is the north and west seeing the lion's share of the sunshine and | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
also as a result the highs temperatures. All in all, after | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
today's rain, things are settling down more and warming up, especially | :18:07. | :18:08. | |
in the west. Carol, thank you very much. I'm | :18:09. | :18:16. | |
interested in what is inside these things, they've got all sorts of | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
kit, microwaves, fridges, beds, you could live in one of these? The one | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
I was in at 6am was luxurious, like a 5-star hotel, a lovely bed, all | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
the interior was leather upholstery, and a fridge, a microwave and a | :18:35. | :18:39. | |
stonking big television as well! Good work. You could have stayed | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
overnight if we if we had only known! Absolutely! More from Carol a | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
little later. Thank you, we will see you soon. Live car crashing as well, | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
how about that, what more do you want? | :18:55. | :18:55. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :18:56. | :18:56. | |
MPs have accused social media firms | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
of a shameful failure to tackle jihadi propaganda | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
A man shot dead by intruders at his home in Dorset has been named | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
by police as 61-year-old Guy Hedger. | :19:07. | :19:16. | |
On this bank holiday Monday morning, let's have a look at some of the | :19:17. | :19:22. | |
newspapers and the Daily Telegraph is leading with our top story, | :19:23. | :19:26. | |
Facebook must pay to police the Internet, proposals to make social | :19:27. | :19:31. | |
media firms more responsible for the content they published and it's a | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
big debate about whether these social media sites distribute | :19:35. | :19:38. | |

That's on the front of the Telegraph today. That lead story is also the | :19:55. | :19:58. | |
front page of the Times this morning at the bottom. They're also talking | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
about Theresa May responding to those latest talks she's had with EU | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
leaders concerning Brexit, saying she will walk away if there is no | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
deal, which once again kind of ramps up all of the uncertainty around | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
what exactly is going to happen. A great picture from the English | :20:18. | :20:20. | |
national surfing Championships taking place in apparent course in | :20:21. | :20:24. | |

with Andrew Marr yesterday, and interest-free credit cards a ticking | :20:33. | :20:35. | |
timebomb according to bankers, there's too much debt and it could | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
make a revenue scandal which hit Tesco and it is all about how the | :20:41. | :20:46. | |
revenue on cards are accounted for, some cards have 43 months of | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
interest-free and they don't know if customers can pay it back. The Daily | :20:52. | :20:55. | |

over the snap general election, saying he wants voters to support | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
Labour. He isn't exactly a Corbyn Easter but he says Labour has the | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
best chance of improving the country in the future and Anthony Joshua on | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
the front and the back of the papers. He still owes his local | :21:18. | :21:22. | |

the back page it is all about whether he will fight Tyson Fury or | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
Vladimir Klitschko next. The fact he is on the front and the back shows | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
how much of a superstar he is on the verge of becoming, he's already | :21:39. | :21:41. | |
worth ?20 million and one of the biggest names in British boxing. The | :21:42. | :21:46. | |
Sun has one of these articles on pages four and five about where he | :21:47. | :21:51. | |
will be and what he will do next and whether he will be bigger than David | :21:52. | :21:55. | |

big old Jo bigger global superstar and earn ?1 billion and be the | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
biggest name -- bigger global superstar. It's the recognition he | :22:07. | :22:10. | |
is drawing in viewers and listeners that wouldn't have boxing as their | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
number one sport. He isn't married to a Spice Girl or a popstar yet. | :22:15. | :22:20. | |

be happier about it? A stressful situation with your ex-wife and your | :22:43. | :22:48. | |

Thanks very much. This is a brilliant picture storage. In the | :23:03. | :23:08. | |
Telegraph, a cathedral in Spain, just near Madrid, it looks like a | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
traditional cathedral but it has been made with reclaimed parts, | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
including recycled masonry, old bottles and cans, 130 foot high | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
dome, the priest who has built it, 91, had no plans, no sketches, no | :23:23. | :23:27. | |
legal permit and the church and the local authority say they want | :23:28. | :23:31. | |
nothing to do with it and it could be structurally unsafe. They are | :23:32. | :23:34. | |
working out what to do with it. A massive DIY project in the middle of | :23:35. | :23:42. | |
Madrid and no one knows what to do with it. A 91-year-old priest did | :23:43. | :23:46. | |
that on his own? It is his life's work. He did it out of faith and no | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
other reason. If he won something else to do he could do a few things | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
that mine. Some shelves on bank holiday Monday! Thanks very much. | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
From the EU referendum to the upcoming general election, | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
there's been a fair amount of ballot box action of late. | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
And later this week six English regions head to the polls | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
Jayne McCubbin has been to Bury in Greater Manchester to find out. | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
Six of them, five of them. Welcome to Bury market. Any two for ?1, | :24:12. | :24:23. | |
strawberries, blueberries. We are here with a question. Are we ready | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
for May the fourth? Yeah, thank God he! Looks good, great sausages. | :24:28. | :24:36. | |
Thank you. May the fourth? May the fourth, general election. No? Yeah, | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
election. Not the general election? You're not going to ask us politics | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
questions, you? Star Wars, May the force be with you. They may need | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
that Jedi forced to get them through the next few weeks. Before they vote | :24:52. | :24:55. | |
for a new government they've got to vote for a new Metro mayor. It's a | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
mayoral collection? Is it. You're telling me something now. Metro | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
mayor. They will have powers over issues like... But over at the spuds | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
and black putting, there's a general sense of apathy. Are you at all | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
interested? Not one bit. We've had Brexit, general election, another | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
one, do be perfectly honest, lost the will to live. Economists believe | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
that it is cities which drive economic growth, London is the | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
energy of the UK economy. The government wants to devolve more | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
powers to the city regions to try to emulate its success. Whether or not | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
they're the right powers matched with the right money, that is up for | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
debate. It's about decisions being taken in Greater Manchester, Tees | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
Valley or Liverpool that happy in previously taken in London, a great | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
opportunity to create more jobs and put more money in the pockets of the | :25:54. | :25:57. | |
people that live in these areas. I'm not convinced they need more cash, | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
you end up with a nice pile of conkers if you save for 30 years but | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
it doesn't make you wealthy. These good people of Bury and the rest of | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
Greater Manchester were asked in 2012 if they wanted a Metro mayor, | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
the majority voted no. Are you voting? Already sent it off, postal. | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
Sue and Albert voted yes. I would sooner have the money spent up here | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
by the people that are up here, they know how to spend it rather than | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
down south because London doesn't know what's going on up here | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
basically. We are totally two separate nations, the North and the | :26:34. | :26:37. | |
South. More power for up north, all good in your book? Yes. On May the | :26:38. | :26:42. | |
force they will vote again. They hope their Metro mayor will have the | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
clout to make a difference. Jayne McCubbin, BBC News. | :26:48. | :26:51. | |

to Rachel and Ben. This is Breakfast, | :30:45. | :30:47. | |
with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden. A damning verdict on the failure | :30:48. | :30:52. | |
of big internet companies to effectively tackle illegal | :30:53. | :30:56. | |
and inappropriate content. We'll be talking to an industry | :30:57. | :31:05. | |

give us the answers we needed? A big spoiler alert for that, but | :31:43. | :31:49. | |
we'll give you warning. But now, a summary of this | :31:50. | :32:02. | |
morning's main news. A group of MPs says the failure | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
of some of the biggest internet companies to remove illegal on line | :32:06. | :32:08. | |
content is a "disgrace." The Home Affairs Select Committee | :32:09. | :32:11. | |
says firms, including Facebook, Twitter, and Google, | :32:12. | :32:13. | |
are "shamefully far" from taking sufficient action to deal | :32:14. | :32:15. | |
with terrorist propaganda and images The MPs say offending companies | :32:16. | :32:18. | |
should be fined and ordered to contribute to the cost | :32:19. | :32:22. | |
of police investigations. We'll be discussing this with social | :32:23. | :32:24. | |

near the town of Ringwood, in the early hours | :32:36. | :32:37. | |
of Sunday morning. It's not believed Mr Hedger | :32:38. | :32:39. | |
was known to his killers. Labour says it will clamp | :32:40. | :32:41. | |

will lead to rent rises. The organisation representing NHS | :32:52. | :32:54. | |
groups has called on political parties to commit to linking health | :32:55. | :32:57. | |
spending to the growth The Confederation points out that UK | :32:58. | :33:00. | |
health spending as a share of the economy is below that | :33:01. | :33:03. | |
of France and Germany. It also wants the next Government | :33:04. | :33:06. | |

group of MPs. The cross-party Education Select | :33:41. | :33:42. | |
Committee says the way SATs results are used to judge schools, | :33:43. | :33:45. | |
causes a negative impact The Department for Education said it | :33:46. | :33:47. | |

in a state of emergency. A chance discovery by a pre-school | :34:12. | :34:18. | |
child has saved a family of owls. A busy weekend of sport. It was all | :34:19. | :34:36. | |
about boxing. It still is, really. That a Klitschko and Anthony Joshua | :34:37. | :34:43. | |
on many front pages. -- Wladimir Klitschko. We will star with the | :34:44. | :34:47. | |
Premier League. Things are hotting up. Tim are playing tonight. Things | :34:48. | :34:56. | |
could change. Chelsea seems like it could sweep it, though. | :34:57. | :34:58. | |
Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, says his side must become champions | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
for a good season to become a "fantastic" one. | :35:02. | :35:03. | |
A dominant win at Everton saw them maintain their lead at the top | :35:04. | :35:07. | |
of the table but Spurs are keeping the pressure on. | :35:08. | :35:10. | |
Meanwhile, there was frustration for the two Manchester teams | :35:11. | :35:12. | |
in the battle for the fourth Champions League spot. | :35:13. | :35:15. | |
Football delivers moments of ecstasy and exhilaration. Few savour the | :35:16. | :35:26. | |
emotion so passionately as Antonio Conte. His Chelsea side are now | :35:27. | :35:31. | |
closing in on the Premier League title. In their path towards | :35:32. | :35:38. | |
silverware come gold flourishes. A fantastic goal. On paper, this match | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
with Everton marked their toughest fixture left to play. Three goals | :35:45. | :35:49. | |
and three points make this the mark of clinical champions. We played | :35:50. | :35:56. | |
with a good head. At this part of the season it is important to use | :35:57. | :36:00. | |
first the head, then the heart, than the legs. As they prepare to go next | :36:01. | :36:05. | |
door, Tottenham looked down on the neighbours. Victory against Arsenal | :36:06. | :36:11. | |
is the sweetest way to keep it to the race alive. No matter who wins, | :36:12. | :36:18. | |
this will be a tough one for Spurs. They finish above their rivals for | :36:19. | :36:22. | |
the first time in two decades. We are so happy. For them it is | :36:23. | :36:28. | |
fantastic. For us as well. But I want to win the title. We will try. | :36:29. | :36:34. | |
That is what we want. - it is the hope during the season that makes | :36:35. | :36:38. | |
relegation at the end of it so painful. At Liverpool thought they | :36:39. | :36:46. | |
were doing all right. Not an ideal result for City either. The team | :36:47. | :36:52. | |
looking to catch them in fourth have there own problems. Manchester | :36:53. | :36:57. | |
United's injury list grows increasingly long. What can you do? | :36:58. | :37:02. | |
You can go to the bed to the toilet and break a leg. We are in trouble. | :37:03. | :37:08. | |
Trouble with patchy form. Swansea salvaged a late draw at Old Trafford | :37:09. | :37:15. | |
to boost the hopes of survival. Ecstasy comes in many forms in this | :37:16. | :37:22. | |
division. Joe Lynskey, BBC News. A great free kick, wasn't it? | :37:23. | :37:24. | |

After his captivating knockout victory over former undisputed | :37:43. | :37:46. | |
heavyweight champion, Wladimir Klitschko, on Saturday | :37:47. | :37:48. | |
night, Anthony Joshua has been reflecting on his success. | :37:49. | :37:50. | |
And despite adding the WBO and IBO belts to his existing IBF title, | :37:51. | :37:54. | |
here's how the Briton responded to being described | :37:55. | :37:56. | |
So, global sporting star. Do you know what it is, I am going back to | :37:57. | :38:12. | |
the same house with the same family. You know, nothing changes. Do you | :38:13. | :38:19. | |
know what I mean? Perception and reach changes, but the ground I am | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
on does not change. It is nice. It is amazing. But I am still a | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
fighter. I have to keep that mindset right now and keep my feet firmly on | :38:30. | :38:36. | |
the ground. He says nothing changes. I think you will find a lot has | :38:37. | :38:38. | |
changed after that fight. Lewis Hamilton was put in the shade | :38:39. | :38:43. | |
by his teammate Valtteri Bottas yesterday, who claimed his maiden F1 | :38:44. | :38:46. | |
win at the Russian Grand Prix The Mercedes driver held off a late | :38:47. | :38:49. | |
challenge from Sebastian Vettel Hamilton came | :38:50. | :38:52. | |
a disappointing fourth. World number One Mark Selby | :38:53. | :39:07. | |

an unbroken two year spell as world number one and has dominated | :39:21. | :39:24. | |
the sport recently. But it's nicely poised | :39:25. | :39:26. | |
going into the final day of competition, which | :39:27. | :39:28. | |
starts at 2 o'clock. Organisers for the Tour de Yorkshire | :39:29. | :39:30. | |
estimate more than two million people turned out across the county | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
over the weekend to see some The final stage of the men's race | :39:34. | :39:36. | |
from Bradford to Fox Valley near Sheffield included some tough | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
climbs and steep descents. Belgian Serge Pauwels | :39:42. | :39:43. | |
secured his first career win in the race, winning Sunday's stage | :39:44. | :39:46. | |
and the general classification. Rafael Nadal has won | :39:47. | :39:48. | |
the Barcelona Open tennis title He did the same in Monte | :39:49. | :39:51. | |
Carlo last week too. His latest victory came | :39:52. | :39:55. | |
against Austria's Dominic Thiem, who was outclassed, | :39:56. | :39:57. | |
6-4, 6-1, in the final. The French Open, on the clay | :39:58. | :39:59. | |
of Roland Garros, is now less Ten consecutive match points. You | :40:00. | :40:11. | |
would not bet against him. This resurgence of the old stars in | :40:12. | :40:19. | |
tennis. Topping the world ranking points at the moment. Rafael Nadal | :40:20. | :40:25. | |

who fail to provide safe But the Conservatives say it | :40:36. | :40:37. | |
will lead to rent rises. Joining us from our London newsroom | :40:38. | :40:41. | |
is the shadow Housing Minister, A very good morning to you. What is | :40:42. | :40:49. | |
wrong with the current system? It is quite simple. The law of the land | :40:50. | :40:54. | |
has not caught up with how we live. One in five of us rent our home. | :40:55. | :40:59. | |
That is one million families with children. And yet we have fewer | :41:00. | :41:04. | |
rights renting a family home than we do buying a fridge or freezer. It is | :41:05. | :41:10. | |
time to make sure councils and the law can clamp down on the very worst | :41:11. | :41:14. | |
landlords, particularly people as renters and consumer rights. What | :41:15. | :41:21. | |
would you like changed? A clear minimum force of legal standards so | :41:22. | :41:30. | |
tenants don't have to suffer unsafe wiring, colds, damp, and sometimes | :41:31. | :41:35. | |
dangerous homes. We would make sure that tenants, as consumers, have the | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
consumer rights to be able to get landlords to fix problems. Then we | :41:41. | :41:45. | |
give councils the ability to clamp down on the worst of the landlords. | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
I want to see every private rental house fit to be called a home. You | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
say the Tories are not doing enough and they have let this system get | :41:56. | :42:00. | |
into such a state. But they brought in legislation to ban rogue | :42:01. | :42:07. | |
landlords from renting out property is. Why are those proposals not | :42:08. | :42:12. | |
enough? Not a single landlord has been banned. No legislation to stop | :42:13. | :42:19. | |
these fees. The truth is, over years, we have seen them defend the | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
status quo. They have ignored the common problems private renters | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
have. And they refuse to step in to make sure we see basics set | :42:30. | :42:35. | |
standards for homes we rent. They have to be free of vermin, they have | :42:36. | :42:39. | |
to be free of serious damp, they have to be free of dangerous | :42:40. | :42:45. | |
appliances and wiring. This is just not good enough in this day and age | :42:46. | :42:49. | |
when we have so many families with children living and trying to build | :42:50. | :42:54. | |
their lives in private rented homes. The underlying problem, is it not, | :42:55. | :42:59. | |
is just a lack of housing in the first place. This applies to people | :43:00. | :43:02. | |
trying to buy and get onto the housing ladder themselves. The | :43:03. | :43:09. | |
answer is to build more houses so we are not reliant on poor quality | :43:10. | :43:12. | |
housing. There is no simple answer in housing. It is true there is a 24 | :43:13. | :43:20. | |
year low in housebuilding. We need more genuinely affordable homes. | :43:21. | :43:24. | |
Labour will set up plans to build more. We also have to fix the broken | :43:25. | :43:30. | |
housing market. It is about private tenants and landlords making sure we | :43:31. | :43:37. | |
have basic consumer rights like we have in any other market. So, the | :43:38. | :43:43. | |
proposal to introduce more legislation, rules, regulations, on | :43:44. | :43:45. | |
what landlords can offer, and finding those who don't offer the | :43:46. | :43:51. | |
minimum standard. That washes up the cost. Will that cost not simply be | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
pushed onto those who cannot afford rent? -- pushes. What we have seen | :43:56. | :44:02. | |
in areas with both Labour and Conservative with licensing schemes | :44:03. | :44:06. | |
is they are able to clamp down on the worst landlords and raise | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
standards. They are very welcome, not just by the renters that may be | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
exploited by the very worst landlords, but it helps lift the | :44:17. | :44:23. | |
street. It is a no-brainer we have seen Conservative ministers turn | :44:24. | :44:28. | |
away from helping renters. After many years of failure, it is clear | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
they have no plan to fix the housing crisis. Thank you. John Healey. | :44:33. | :44:38. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :44:39. | :44:40. | |
MPs have accused social media firms | :44:41. | :44:48. | |
of a shameful failure to properly tackle terrorist propaganda | :44:49. | :44:50. | |
A man shot dead by intruders at his home in Dorset has been named | :44:51. | :44:56. | |
by police as 61-year-old Guy Hedger. | :44:57. | :44:57. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :44:58. | :45:00. | |
I can see you're getting up cosy inside the cab of a truck, Carol? | :45:01. | :45:16. | |
I'm not as stupid as I look, it's lovely in here! This truck is called | :45:17. | :45:22. | |
Firefighter, a 42 ton truck, ten years old, but look how large areas | :45:23. | :45:29. | |
it is. There's a nice comfy bed, a television as well, and we've got a | :45:30. | :45:33. | |
microwave and a fridge in here but it is a fully customised to truck, | :45:34. | :45:38. | |
it's not just a show truck, it works as well! It does eight miles to the | :45:39. | :45:44. | |
gallon, it takes diesel and this particular one is done 1 million | :45:45. | :45:48. | |
kilometres, you heard that right, 1 million, around 600,000 miles! I | :45:49. | :45:53. | |
have to say it is much more luxurious than my house! It's also | :45:54. | :45:58. | |
drier in here than outside, heavy rain at the moment in Peterborough | :45:59. | :46:00. | |
at Truckfest. Through the morning what you will | :46:01. | :46:06. | |
find is the rain will tend to ease and some will see showers. Today the | :46:07. | :46:10. | |
brightest skies will be across north-western parts of the UK, | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
particularly north-west Scotland, we can see temperatures today | :46:15. | :46:20. | |
approaching 20 there. Let's start at 9am in Scotland, the west is best in | :46:21. | :46:24. | |
terms of sunshine, a wee bit more cloud in the east, that will be | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
there with us through the day. Also some light rain in northern England | :46:29. | :46:32. | |
but as we come south, one or two brighter spells here and there but | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
then we run into some rain again, the rain in East Anglia, the | :46:37. | :46:39. | |
Midlands, parts of south-east England, the south coast and some | :46:40. | :46:44. | |
heavy rain in Devon and Cornwall, heavy rain there overnight, up to an | :46:45. | :46:49. | |
inch. Then in Wales, again we are seeing some rain this morning at 9am | :46:50. | :46:54. | |
in southern parts of Wales, north Wales seeing something dry and | :46:55. | :46:57. | |
brighter. In Northern Ireland we are back into brighter skies, and you | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
are going to hang on to sunshine through the course of the day and | :47:02. | :47:05. | |
temperatures will reflect that, especially during the afternoon. | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
During the day you can see the breeze coming in off the North Sea, | :47:10. | :47:14. | |
blowing in the cloud we see across Scotland but breaking up at times in | :47:15. | :47:18. | |
parts of eastern England. Meanwhile our rain currently across the | :47:19. | :47:22. | |
Midlands, East Anglia and Wales will move north into northern England, | :47:23. | :47:25. | |
but a weak feature, in southern England and south Wales we will see | :47:26. | :47:29. | |
further showers, some could be heavy and thundery but with sunny spells | :47:30. | :47:33. | |
in between. Through the evening and overnight, where we have the clear | :47:34. | :47:36. | |
skies by day we will have them by night, after a warm day, a cold | :47:37. | :47:41. | |
night, so in western Scotland and in Northern Ireland. Still some cloud | :47:42. | :47:45. | |
coming in through the North Sea across the east coast and the | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
showers in the south tending to fade. Into tomorrow, again some of | :47:50. | :47:54. | |
that cloud still rolling in from the east coast but once again it will | :47:55. | :47:57. | |
break up and we will also see showers developing in parts of | :47:58. | :48:01. | |
England and they will head towards south-west England, but the way with | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
showers, a lot will miss them all together. If you're in the sunshine, | :48:06. | :48:09. | |
the best of which in the north and west, while we are looking at the | :48:10. | :48:13. | |
high teens are not as high as some other parts of the UK. On Wednesday, | :48:14. | :48:19. | |
a bit more cloud, bright with sunny skies in southern parts of England | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
but as we go further north, once again this is where the brighter | :48:24. | :48:26. | |
skies will be an where we see the sunshine for the longest. But things | :48:27. | :48:31. | |
after today things settling down and for most bar the odd shower it | :48:32. | :48:33. | |
should remain fairly dry. It looks so lovely and snug in | :48:34. | :48:41. | |
there, must be tempting getting up slow early as we do to have a little | :48:42. | :48:45. | |
snooze on the couch behind you. Just feel the plush nurse! It is lovely! | :48:46. | :48:52. | |
It is the last word, I tell you! Nice big cushions, padded at the | :48:53. | :48:57. | |
back like a headboard, lovely. Dan is getting very excited, all sorts | :48:58. | :49:03. | |
of interior design ideas -- then. There's no chance I would fit in | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
that bed? You would have to put your legs around your head I think, Ben! | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
Thank you, Carol! That's another story! | :49:15. | :49:17. | |
They're used for five billion journeys every year to shop, | :49:18. | :49:20. | |
work or study, yet bus services outside of London are in crisis, | :49:21. | :49:23. | |
Councils across England and Wales have cut their budgets | :49:24. | :49:26. | |
by a third since 2010, affecting thousands of routes. | :49:27. | :49:29. | |
And it's the young, the less well-off and those living in small | :49:30. | :49:32. | |
towns and villages who are said to be | :49:33. | :49:34. | |
Here's our transport correspondent, Richard Westcott. | :49:35. | :49:43. | |
Time's running out for many of our buses. They carry three times more | :49:44. | :49:50. | |
people than the trains but thousands of council subsidised routes have | :49:51. | :49:59. | |
gone in recent years. This is the 267 late-night service from Bath to | :50:00. | :50:03. | |
Froome. It's one of the services that is facing cuts across the | :50:04. | :50:07. | |
country, and in fact come September the funding for this service is | :50:08. | :50:11. | |
going to run out completely. Most of the passengers on this bus are | :50:12. | :50:16. | |
young, like Holly, who works legs in a restaurant. And Josh, who goes to | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
college in Bath. They can't afford to drive, catch the more expensive | :50:22. | :50:27. | |
train or move house. It's a really, really big deal because you just | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
can't find the same opportunities in a small town like Froome, so being | :50:33. | :50:36. | |
able to travel daily and nightly back from Bath, it's really | :50:37. | :50:41. | |
important to me being able to earn enough money to live independently. | :50:42. | :50:44. | |
How much time have you got potentially going to college in | :50:45. | :50:48. | |
Bath? Just under three years. How are you going to get there for the | :50:49. | :50:52. | |
next three years? I don't know what I'm going to do. Bath and Somerset | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
council says other authorities should help fund the service because | :50:57. | :51:00. | |
the passengers come from different areas. First buses help keep it | :51:01. | :51:05. | |
going for a few extra months but in reality unless a campaign can drum | :51:06. | :51:09. | |
up more passengers, the late weeknight to 67s will go. It's a | :51:10. | :51:15. | |
story reflected across much of England and Wales. Campaigners say | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
nearly 3000 councils subsidised routes have been slimmed down or | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
dropped since 2010. 500 of them last year when two thirds of local | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
authorities cut their vast budget. First group run a fifth of the buses | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
outside London, which is where these cuts are happening. We want to carry | :51:36. | :51:40. | |
more customers, that is how we are successful. When we are criticised | :51:41. | :51:45. | |
for bus cuts whenever we do take it hard, we only ever withdraw a | :51:46. | :51:51. | |
service as a last resort. Often a service is being withdrawn because | :51:52. | :51:54. | |
of reductions in local authority funding. Councils say years of cuts | :51:55. | :51:58. | |
in government funding has forced them to ditch roots. A new buses | :51:59. | :52:03. | |
bill will soon give them more powers to improve services, but back on the | :52:04. | :52:09. | |
267, passengers know once their bust disappears, it almost never comes | :52:10. | :52:12. | |
back. Richard Westcott, BBC News, Froome. | :52:13. | :52:13. | |
If you're eating out, and you're so full you just can't | :52:14. | :52:16. | |
I have never done this, have you? Yeah, pizza and courage. Definitely. | :52:17. | :52:30. | |
How would you put curry in a bag? Carry the next day, loads of people | :52:31. | :52:31. | |
do that -- and curry. A survey suggests two-fifths | :52:32. | :52:34. | |
of people are reluctant to ask This is contributing | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
to millions of tons of food Now restaurants in Scotland | :52:39. | :52:41. | |
are taking part in a scheme to get people to take their | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
unfinished meals home. Holly Hamilton has | :52:46. | :52:47. | |
been to find out more. When it comes to dining out, we are | :52:48. | :52:58. | |
spoilt for choice. And in an all super-sized era, portion sizes are | :52:59. | :53:03. | |
getting bigger too. And yet even if we can't manage to finish everything | :53:04. | :53:08. | |
on our plate, most of us are quite reluctant to have it boxed up and | :53:09. | :53:12. | |
taken home with us, in other words a doggy bag. Do you mind if I get the | :53:13. | :53:16. | |
rest to go? Thanks very much. In one survey while 75% said they would | :53:17. | :53:23. | |
like a doggy bag, 42% said they would be too embarrassed to ask for | :53:24. | :53:27. | |
one. Your conscious about the fact you might be looked upon | :53:28. | :53:32. | |
differently. If you can't finish it you've paid for it so you have a | :53:33. | :53:37. | |
choice of taking it home for you or your dog, that's sensible as far as | :53:38. | :53:42. | |
I'm concerned. I have done it on numerous occasions and I have no | :53:43. | :53:46. | |
problem doing it. It is so much waste, I have a small appetite, I | :53:47. | :53:51. | |
enjoy good food but I would like to take it with me. I have no problem | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
but look at my plate, it is always empty. In Scotland it could soon be | :53:57. | :54:01. | |
the norm with plans to introduce doggy bags to all restaurants as | :54:02. | :54:06. | |
part of a plan to cut food waste. Would you like it in a doggy bag? | :54:07. | :54:10. | |
That would be great. Lots of restaurants already offer it, which | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
is fantastic, what good to go does is extra promotion, you are actively | :54:16. | :54:20. | |
offering a doggy bag. We did a pilot and pleased to say it was really | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
positive and something restaurants told us they wanted and customers | :54:25. | :54:29. | |
too said they wanted. And this is the problem, across the UK food | :54:30. | :54:33. | |
waste costs the restaurant sector more than ?600 million a year with | :54:34. | :54:37. | |
eateries producing nearly 200,000 tons. More than a third of that | :54:38. | :54:42. | |
waste comes straight from the customers' plates. But it doesn't | :54:43. | :54:47. | |
have to be this way, campaigners here say if restaurants routinely | :54:48. | :54:50. | |
offered doggy bags it would save the equivalent of 800,000 meals going in | :54:51. | :54:58. | |
the bin every year. I do think it's our responsibility to make sure | :54:59. | :55:02. | |
people are aware of the fact it's OK to take food home and reheat it and | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
it is fit for purpose. We're talking about a world that has a food crisis | :55:07. | :55:10. | |
and we're wasting food. So people taking food home, we're just giving | :55:11. | :55:13. | |
them that opportunity and actually intervening rather than waiting for | :55:14. | :55:18. | |
them to ask makes a huge difference. Doggy bags are common practice in | :55:19. | :55:21. | |
the US and even in France restaurants are legally obliged now | :55:22. | :55:25. | |
to provide one if requested by diners, but here in the UK old | :55:26. | :55:30. | |
habits die hard. As a nation we don't like to make a fuss, but with | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
ambitious targets to cut food waste by 20% within the next ten years, | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
maybe it's time to start thinking inside the box. Holly Hamilton, BBC | :55:39. | :55:42. | |
News, Glasgow. You see, food in a box like that, | :55:43. | :55:49. | |
you could take home your curry like that! Now you have explained it, not | :55:50. | :55:51. | |
in not in a carrier bag! Moths are munching | :55:52. | :55:53. | |

to Rachel and Ben. This is Breakfast, | :59:28. | :59:29. | |
with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden. A damning verdict on the failure | :59:30. | :00:09. | |
of big internet companies to effectively tackle illegal | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
and inappropriate content. A committee of MPs says Facebook, | :00:14. | :00:14. | |
Twitter, and Google should face harsh fines if material isn't | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
removed quickly enough and pay for police investigations | :00:19. | :00:20. | |
into potentially illegal posts. A man shot dead during an attempted | :00:21. | :00:41. | |
burglary at his home in Dorset Police appeal for help | :00:42. | :00:48. | |
to catch his killer. NHS leaders warn that | :00:49. | :00:51. | |

as they set out their wish-list Chelsea and Tottenham both win | :00:55. | :00:57. | |

about with the weather. Good morning from Truckfest in | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
Peterborough. Many monster trucks will be here, some competing for | :01:23. | :01:28. | |
Truck of the Year. Stunt car is as well. It has been pouring buckets. | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
The worst has moved away. In England and Wales, some rain, but some | :01:37. | :01:42. | |
showers. Bright spells. More cloud in eastern Scotland. Northern | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
Ireland in Scotland, a fine day with some sunshine. I will have more | :01:47. | :01:53. | |

Social media companies are being accused of a "shameful" | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
failure to tackle on-line terrorist propaganda and hate speech. | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
A report by a group of MPs claims sites like Facebook, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
Twitter, and Google put more effort into protecting their profits | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
than keeping the public safe on line. | :02:09. | :02:10. | |
The Home Affairs Select Committee branded the firms' lack of action | :02:11. | :02:13. | |
as a "disgrace," as Jonathan Blake reports. | :02:14. | :02:15. | |
Big brands and household names used by billions online every day, | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
accused, again, of doing nowhere near enough to tackle illegal, | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
I think both the richest and biggest companies in the world have both | :02:23. | :02:36. | |
the ability and the responsibility to make sure that this kind | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
of illegal and dangerous material is removed. | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
I don't think they are taking this seriously enough and I think | :02:44. | :02:46. | |
The MP suggested fines for social media companies that aren't removing | :02:47. | :02:57. | |
They proposed they pay for policing as well. | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
That is similar to the model used in football where clubs pay | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
All three companies criticised in the report defended | :03:07. | :03:10. | |
their approach to on-line safety and say they are committed | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
Facebook, Twitter, and Google all have ways to report things | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
we see on-line which may be illegal or inappropriate. | :03:17. | :03:20. | |
But the MP's report criticises those companies for relying too much | :03:21. | :03:23. | |
on users and says they are effectively outsourcing policing | :03:24. | :03:25. | |
This is not the first time social media companies have been | :03:26. | :03:40. | |
criticised for not stopping extremism and abuse. | :03:41. | :03:42. | |
They have to continue balancing a platform for free speech | :03:43. | :03:45. | |
We'll be discussing this with social media expert Luc Delany just | :03:46. | :03:52. | |
A man killed during an attempted burglary at a house in Dorset has | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
61-year-old, Guy Hedger, was shot as intruders entered | :03:57. | :04:00. | |
the property in the early hours of Sunday morning. | :04:01. | :04:02. | |
Police cordon off a quiet cul-de-sac that has now become a murder scene. | :04:03. | :04:11. | |
Officers were first called here after three yesterday morning. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
There were three or more intruders in the house. | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
Police believe that Guy Hedger did not know them, | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
The offenders went in to steal and they shot him. | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
We have since launched a murder enquiry and ask anyone | :04:30. | :04:33. | |
with information to come forward to help us. | :04:34. | :04:40. | |
A second person who lived in the house was there at the time. | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
They said they were left deeply affected by what happened | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
and are now being cared for by specially trained officers. | :04:52. | :04:54. | |
Police say that the area will remain cordoned off and there will be | :04:55. | :04:58. | |
high-visibility patrols today to offer reassurance | :04:59. | :04:59. | |
They want to hear from anyone who saw anything suspicious. | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
The key questions, what led to the shooting, and why Guy Hedger | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
The organisation representing NHS groups has called on political | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
parties to commit to linking health spending to the growth | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
The NHS Confederation also wants whoever forms the next government | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
to set up an independent body to work out how much funding | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
is needed to meet the needs of the NHS. | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
Our health editor, Hugh Pym, reports. | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
The future funding of the NHS is on the political agenda. Election | :05:34. | :05:40. | |
manifestoes should spell out where it parties stand. The confederation | :05:41. | :05:48. | |
representing health groups in England, Wales, in Northern Ireland, | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
has called for a commitment of GDP to be spent on health, as with | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
defence and international aid. They note that UK health spending as a | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
share of the economy is just under 10% is below that of France and | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Germany. The organisation has also called for an independent office to | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
advise ministers on appropriate funding for the NHS. The | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
confederation says political parties must recognise that without action | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
soon, the health and care system will be incapable of meeting modern | :06:20. | :06:20. | |
needs. Hugh Pym, BBC News. Parliament is to be dissolved | :06:21. | :06:37. | |
later this week ahead of June's General Election, | :06:38. | :06:40. | |
but campaigning by all sides This morning, a pledge from Labour | :06:41. | :06:42. | |
to clamp down on bad landlords, with tougher fines for those | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
who fail to provide safe housing. Let's find out more from our | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
political correspondent, Leila Nathoo, who's | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
in our London newsroom. It housing going to be a big issue | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
in this election? There are a million private renters. It is a big | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
target for parties. Labour says they want to put power in the hands of | :07:02. | :07:05. | |
tenants. They say at the moment all they have to rely on is poorly | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
resourced teams for when things go wrong and they want to stop poor | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
quality accommodation being rented out in the first place. They want to | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
introduce legal minimum standards for things like wiring, sewerage, | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
pests, and they want to bring in licensing schemes in councils to | :07:20. | :07:22. | |
introduce fines for up to ?1000 for landlords that are ignoring the | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
rules. The Conservatives say there is no reason to have a blanket | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
licensing scheme is a will make renting more expensive and will pass | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
on the costs to tenants. You can see that renters, the 11 million renters | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
across the country, will be able to target group in this election. Thank | :07:45. | :07:46. | |
you very much for that. Campaigning in the French | :07:47. | :07:53. | |
presidential elections is entering its final week ahead | :07:54. | :07:54. | |
of the vote on Sunday. Both candidates, the centrist, | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
Emmanuel Macron, and his far-right opponent, Marine Le Pen, | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
will lead major rallies around Let's go live to Paris | :08:01. | :08:02. | |
and join our correspondent, Hugh, what can we expect from Le Pen | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
and Macron in the last A big week and it all comes down to | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
this, doesn't it? A big day in Paris today with rallies. There are at | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
least five different Worker Day rallies as well. The | :08:22. | :08:32. | |
parties will all be out alongside union demonstrations, two of them. | :08:33. | :08:44. | |
Comparative 2002. Marine Le Pen's father, a mass turnout of half a | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
million workers on the streets of Paris at the same time to say no to | :08:49. | :09:01. | |
him. Nothing like that today. These anti demonstrations by workers and | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
unions are divided. They don't know whether to vote against her or | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Macron, who represents liberal free-market economics, and they say | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
he is as bad. You have a completely changed landscape. There is no | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
movement to stop Marine Le Pen, at least united one. For now, thank you | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
very much, Hugh Schofield, who is in Paris. | :09:26. | :09:28. | |
The testing of primary school children, used to make important | :09:29. | :09:30. | |
decisions about students, is damaging and should be reformed | :09:31. | :09:33. | |
according to an influential group of MPs. | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
The cross-party Education Select Committee says the way SATs results | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
are used to judge schools, causes a negative impact | :09:38. | :09:40. | |
Here's our education correspondent, Marc Ashdown. | :09:41. | :09:44. | |
Even from a young age, children are well accustomed | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
to being tested, but MPs are worried the importance placed nowadays | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
on how children perform in isolated tests leads | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
Results are used to judge schools in annual performance tables, | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
which this Education Select Committee report has said can create | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
a high-stakes environment, damaging to students and teachers. | :09:59. | :10:00. | |
These Year 6 students are gearing up for their test. | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
It is a good school in a challenging area of London. | :10:05. | :10:16. | |
The reality is children at the age of 10 or 11 are going to do | :10:17. | :10:20. | |
an hour's test, which will evaluate their reading for four years. | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
For us, as a school, the results of that are also very | :10:24. | :10:39. | |
high stakes, because it is how it is rated. | :10:40. | :10:41. | |
As an alternative, a rolling three-year average | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
Ofsted said it wants a broad curriculum. | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
The Department for Education has said it will consider the report | :10:53. | :10:56. | |
At least nine people are now confirmed to have died as tornados | :10:57. | :11:06. | |
hit the US State of Texas over the weekend. | :11:07. | :11:08. | |
More than 50 people in hospital according to local authorities. | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
The American midwest has been struck by an intensive weather system that | :11:12. | :11:14. | |
has caused damage across several states, including neighbouring | :11:15. | :11:16. | |
Missouri and Oklahoma, which are now in a state of emergency. | :11:17. | :11:26. | |
Some lovely pictures of some lovely, little owls to show you right now. | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
A chance discovery by a preschool child has saved a family of owls. | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
Three large eggs were found in a bucket in a forest | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
At first, quite rightly, they were not sure what it was, | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
until they saw that flying from the outdoor loo. | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
They set up a camera and caught the father owl feeding them | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
There it is. Teamwork, I like it. Baby eggs, sorry, baby owls. | :11:51. | :12:02. | |
They have been named Twit and Twoo I see what they did there. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
We asked you early out what kind of owls they are. You didn't let us | :12:07. | :12:20. | |
down. They are barn owls. A very cute story. Reliably informing us. | :12:21. | :12:21. | |
Thank you as always. doing enough to remove illegal | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
material from their sites? Well, not according | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
to a new report by a group of MPs. Companies like Facebook, Twitter, | :12:34. | :12:36. | |
and Google have been branded a "disgrace" by the Home | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Affairs Select Committee, for failing to tackle terrorist | :12:40. | :12:41. | |
and hate crime propaganda. The sites have defended | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
their approach to on line Luc Delany, former public policy | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
director at Facebook and Google You have been in there. You have | :12:47. | :12:59. | |
been in the thick of it. Describe to us how difficult it is to monitor | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
all of this content and say what is appropriate, inappropriate, illegal. | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
It is questionable whether companies should actually make the judgement | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
of what is illegal. We have police and judges and courts decide that | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
for us. We have to be careful to not ask companies to be judge, jury and | :13:18. | :13:25. | |
executioner. Some would be concerned by that. YouTube has 300 hours worth | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
of content uploaded per minute. Facebook has 1.9 billion people on | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
the platform. Really, we need to have smart solutions to try to deal | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
with the scale of Rocklands. Bullying, illegal content, no matter | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
what it is. Does this come down to defining social media networks as | :13:50. | :14:01. | |
publishers or contributors? They are putting things out in the public | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
domain. But Google and Facebook might say that they are just | :14:05. | :14:07. | |
allowing people to share information that is coming from the users | :14:08. | :14:15. | |
themselves. That is right. It is defined in law. Platforms are not | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
liable initially for content on their services. That makes sense if | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
you think about it. Just as Facebook cannot be responsible for all of the | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
content people put up, the post office cannot be responsible for | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
every letter either. The system would break down. Editorial choices | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
that are clearly pushed and published by the individual | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
organisation have a lot more responsibility for the content under | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
the law. Equally, you would say the flipside of that is these | :14:46. | :14:49. | |
organisations are making a lot of money off the of that content that | :14:50. | :14:53. | |
is created by users. If they are able to use it for good, for | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
profits, they do what they want with it, they should also spend some to | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
make sure things are not harmful. They do and you are right to be | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
these companies have big pockets. -- right. But at a certain point, 2 | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
billion people on the platform, endless resources do not really need | :15:13. | :15:17. | |
the need. There are some examples where the content has been so | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
blatantly inappropriate and they have not reacted quickly enough. For | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
example, the killing of the 74-year-old man in Cleveland in the | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
US recently. A confession was put up. A complaint was made to | :15:29. | :15:33. | |
Facebook. It took two hours to take that down. You are right. And the | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
BBC was once looking at images of abuse on line. Facebook users were | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
exchanging that material. Of the 100 cases reported, Facebook remove only | :15:45. | :15:45. | |
18! There are some bad headlines that | :15:46. | :15:55. | |
have hit the papers recently. This really looks at why those problems | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
exist and how they exist and Facebook should come up with | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
solutions. The report is using very inflammatory language, grabs | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
headlines and bashes the tech companies but it doesn't look at the | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
convexity of the issue. But this is terrorist propaganda and child abuse | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
images, you have to use this language? The language they use has | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
been going on for many years, we have a strong history in this | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
country with the Internet Watch Foundation, with the centre for | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
exploitation and online protection here, the language used around that | :16:37. | :16:40. | |
I don't think reflects the reality of the work being done between the | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
partnerships existing already between industry and the police. | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
This report is divisive, it doesn't help and come up with any positive | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
solutions. I want to talk about one solution and that's the proposal to | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
create a fine system, something proposed in Germany, giving the | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
sites noticed and if they don't take these things down within an allotted | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
timeframe they would face a severe fine. Would that work? It's | :17:05. | :17:12. | |
interesting to explore that but the problem is there is a presumption | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
these companies should know and be able to easily identify what is | :17:17. | :17:19. | |
illegal and do we want these American tech companies to be | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
policing us? The comparison between police being paid for at football | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
matches were 40,000 people come together, have one particular type | :17:30. | :17:33. | |
of violent behaviour that they are renowned for, it's not the same as | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
me checking my Instagram before I come on or having a policeman in my | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
pocket and everything I do is monitored. These companies have a | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
privacy obligation to consumers. There's a constant balance between | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
protecting people, providing tools for reporting and their privacy, | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
they have legal rights to privacy as well. Fascinating, we could talk so | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
much more because it gets into the issue of the sites policing and | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
keeping an eye on things and the idea of free speech. Time is against | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
us but really good to talk to you. Thank you. | :18:08. | :18:08. | |
Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather. | :18:09. | :18:10. | |
Carol, what have you found this time? Is that view in that car? I | :18:11. | :18:22. | |
wish! It's amazing, it is a stunt driver, look at this, oh my | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
goodness, he has left this carbohydrate but he has been on the | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
roof, he's coming to join us. I'm also joined by Colin Moore, | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
Truckfest creator and organiser. Colin, what are we travelling on? A | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
giant big wheeled American monster truck at the moment. Normally these | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
monster trucks are used to crush cars but at Peterborough we use this | :18:46. | :18:49. | |
specially converted one to give the public a right to see what it's | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
really like, great fun! You actually set up this whole event many moons | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
ago, why, what inspired you? Why not, people like trucks and there's | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
a lot of truckers about in great region and it started as a | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Glastonbury for trucks and it has involved and this year we will have | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
something like 35,000 here today, 3000 trucks and there's the fun | :19:13. | :19:16. | |
aspect of trucking, they loved it and I love it too! Anyone coming | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
down today, what can they expect to see? We can expect to see Terry | :19:22. | :19:27. | |
Grant here doing some performances, monster crushing cars, and some of | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
the most spectacular trucks in Britain. We've got some amazing | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
trucks for the public to see. It's not just here, this is the first of | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
the year, you do them around the country? We started here 35 years | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
ago but we're doing them nationwide, we even do them from where you come | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
from, Carol, in Scotland in August so we look forward to going up | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
there. Scotland today will see the best of the weather, we should have | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
been there because it is pouring buckets here but the mud is good for | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
the stunt drivers. You're right but it will be good here. The weather | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
will improve here, thank you for joining us, Colin! Talking of the | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
weather, today we have a bit of a split because in the west, | :20:12. | :20:14. | |
especially the north-west, it will be warm and we are looking at rain | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
and showers in many other parts of the UK. If we start at 9am in | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
Scotland, west is best, driest, sunniest and warmest. Eastern | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
Scotland seeing a bit more cloud from the North Sea. Also by 9am we | :20:28. | :20:32. | |
have light rain in northern England, south of that there are going to be | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
bright spells but then we run into the rain we've had this morning in | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Peterborough. Again the rain weakening all the time, across the | :20:41. | :20:43. | |
Midlands into used anger, the south-east, and as we drift further | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
west to Devon and Cornwall where we have had rain overnight, that will | :20:48. | :20:52. | |
begin to weaken -- East Anglia. Also extending to southern Wales. In | :20:53. | :20:56. | |
north Wales it is a drier and brighter start and in Northern | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
Ireland, back into sunnier skies and again a pleasant, dry and warm day | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
for you. Talking of such things, through the course of the day we | :21:06. | :21:08. | |
hang on to the sunshine across Western Scotland and Northern | :21:09. | :21:12. | |
Ireland, cloud in over a wee bit in eastern island through the day. The | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
rain we have currently in Wales, the Midlands and East Anglia moves north | :21:17. | :21:22. | |
as a weakening feature, showery in nature and the same for the rain in | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
Devon and Cornwall -- east Ireland. In southern areas we see further | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
showers developing, some heavy and thundery, but sunshine in between. A | :21:31. | :21:34. | |
breeze coming in from the North Sea. Temperatures approaching 20 in the | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
north-west, and here's where we have the clear skies by night as well so | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
after a warm day, a cold night. Still the cloud in eastern parts of | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
the UK and the showers in the south overnight fading. Temperatures | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
roughly 7-9 overnight. Tomorrow once again we are prone to seeing some of | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
the cloud lapping in from the North Sea in eastern areas, it will break | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
up and we will also see a fair bit of sunshine tomorrow but through the | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
day further showers developing, especially across England, central | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
England, and through the day they will wander to the south-west. But | :22:09. | :22:12. | |
as is the way with showers, not everyone will see one. As we head | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
into Wednesday, a bit more of the same, remaining fairly settled. More | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
cloud in southern areas at times but a lot will be high cloud, so bright, | :22:21. | :22:25. | |
sunny skies but the lion's share of the sunshine once again will be the | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
further west you are, especially in the north-west with temperatures | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
getting up to around 17. After the rain today, and isn't it typical, | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
Ben and Rachel, typical we have rain on a bank holiday, things will | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
settle down. We should have known it was going to rain and as everyone is | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
back to work this week, the weather picks up a bit. | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
To see a bit more driving later because I've seen better driving | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
elsewhere than on that road behind you! Thanks very much and more from | :22:56. | :22:57. | |
Carol a little bit later! From the EU referendum | :22:58. | :22:59. | |
to the upcoming general election, there's been a fair amount | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
of ballot box action of late. And later this week six English | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
regions head to the polls Jayne McCubbin has been to Bury | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
in Greater Manchester to find out. Any two for ?1, ladies, | :23:08. | :23:13. | |
strawberries, raspeberries We're here with a question. | :23:14. | :23:21. | |
Are we ready for May the fourth? This looks good, | :23:22. | :23:25. | |
great sausages, Mark. May the fourth, general election? | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
No. Yeah, election, yeah. | :23:32. | :23:39. | |
Not the general election. You're not going to ask us | :23:40. | :23:41. | |
politics questions, are you? Star Wars, May | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
the Force be with you? They may need that Jedi Force to get | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
them through the next few weeks. Before they vote for | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
a new government, they've got Is it? | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
Right! The Metro Mayors will have power | :23:56. | :24:03. | |
over issues like transport, housing, skills, and | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
in some areas, powers But over at the spuds and black | :24:09. | :24:10. | |
pudding, there's a general Are you at all interested? | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
Not one bit. We've had Brexit, we've | :24:16. | :24:18. | |
had a general election, another one, and to be perfectly | :24:19. | :24:20. | |
honest, lost the will to live. Economists believe that if it's | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
cities which drive economic growth, London is the energy | :24:25. | :24:31. | |
of the UK economy. The government wants to devolve more | :24:32. | :24:35. | |
powers to the city regions Whether or not they're the right | :24:36. | :24:38. | |
powers matched with the right money, It's about decisions being taken | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
in Greater Manchester or Tees Valley or Liverpool that have previously | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
been taken in London. It's a really big opportunity | :24:51. | :24:53. | |
to create more jobs and put more money in the pockets of the people | :24:54. | :24:56. | |
that live in these areas. I'm just not convinced they're | :24:57. | :24:59. | |
getting enough cash. You know, if somebody gives you two | :25:00. | :25:01. | |
bob and a conker year after year after year for 30 years, | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
you will end up with a nice These good people of Bury | :25:06. | :25:08. | |
and the rest of Greater Manchester were asked in 2012 if they | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
wanted a Metro Mayor, Are you voting? | :25:15. | :25:17. | |
I am, yeah. I'd sooner have the money spent up | :25:18. | :25:19. | |
here by the people who need it up here, they know what's being spent | :25:20. | :25:26. | |
rather than down south because London doesn't know what's | :25:27. | :25:29. | |
going on up here basically. We are totally two separate nations, | :25:30. | :25:32. | |
the North and the South. More power for up North, | :25:33. | :25:35. | |
all good in your book? So on May the fourth | :25:36. | :25:38. | |
they'll vote again. They hope their Metro Mayor | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
will have the clout the London marathon course, | :25:42. | :25:43. | |
raising thousands for charity Look at the effort that was | :25:44. | :26:02. | |
required! Now Mr Gorilla has crawled his way | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
to the Breakfast studio and he'll be on the sofa later telling | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
us what inspired him. He is just outside. He is making his | :26:10. | :26:16. | |
way across the bridge. He will be here in about an hour. We will be | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
asking him if he has blisters. Creaky knees as well! We will be | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
asking him about the charity, why he was doing it and what he wanted to | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
raise awareness is. He raised ?30,000 for his | :26:30. | :29:51. | |

decisions about students, is damaging and should be reformed | :32:08. | :32:09. | |
according to an influential group of MPs. | :32:10. | :32:11. | |
The cross-party Education Select Committee says the way SATs results | :32:12. | :32:14. | |

A chance discovery by a pre-school child has saved a family of owls. | :33:00. | :33:03. | |
Three large eggs were found in a sawdust bucket next | :33:04. | :33:05. | |
to a compost toilet at a forest school near Winchester. | :33:06. | :33:08. | |
At first, they weren't quite sure what type of bird | :33:09. | :33:11. | |
it was until they saw this fly from the outdoor loo. | :33:12. | :33:13. | |
The school set up a camera and caught the father owl feeding | :33:14. | :33:17. | |
the mother while she sat on the eggs, and then two | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
They are now a month old and doing well. | :33:21. | :33:23. | |
The pair have been called Twit and Twoo. | :33:24. | :33:28. | |
I have a great joke about owls. A viewers in the ten. Owls never mate | :33:29. | :33:47. | |
in the rain because it is too wet to woo. Send them all in. We will have | :33:48. | :34:10. | |
the sport and weather. You have been sharing owl jokes, but there has | :34:11. | :34:13. | |
been some debate about what species they are. Tawny? Barn? No, they are | :34:14. | :34:17. | |
white. You are wasted on sports. Get out there and talk about owls! I am | :34:18. | :34:21. | |
talking about the Premier League, unfortunately, not owls! Antonio | :34:22. | :34:27. | |
Conte. A man who knows, though he would never admit it, that... Who | :34:28. | :34:36. | |
the man of the year was? I think Chelsea have Middlesbrough, West | :34:37. | :34:43. | |
Brom, Watford, and Sunderland, and they have to win three of those | :34:44. | :34:46. | |
four. You would back them to do that. A week ago it looked like it | :34:47. | :34:51. | |
was going to be an exciting finish. Now, I will not say it will be a | :34:52. | :34:55. | |
walk in the park, but... Yeah. Chelsea manager, Antonio Conte, | :34:56. | :35:00. | |
says his side must become champions for a good season to | :35:01. | :35:02. | |
become a "fantastic" one. A dominant win at Everton saw them | :35:03. | :35:05. | |
maintain their lead at the top of the table but Spurs | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
are keeping the pressure on. Meanwhile, there was frustration | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
for the two Manchester teams in the battle for the fourth | :35:12. | :35:13. | |
Champions League spot. Football delivers moments | :35:14. | :35:16. | |
of ecstasy and exhilaration. Few savour the emotion | :35:17. | :35:19. | |
so passionately as Antonio Conte. His Chelsea side are now closing | :35:20. | :35:26. | |
in on the Premier League title. In their path towards silverware | :35:27. | :35:29. | |
came gold flourishes. A strike as spectacular | :35:30. | :35:31. | |
as important. On paper, this match with Everton | :35:32. | :35:42. | |
marked their toughest fixture But three goals and three | :35:43. | :35:45. | |
points make this the mark At this part of the season | :35:46. | :35:48. | |
it is important to use first the head, then the heart, | :35:49. | :35:54. | |
then the legs. As they prepare to go next door, | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
Tottenham looked down Victory against Arsenal | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
is the sweetest way to keep No matter who wins, this will be | :36:02. | :36:04. | |
a historic season for Spurs. They finish above their rivals | :36:05. | :36:16. | |
for the first time in two decades. It is the hope during the season | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
that makes relegation at the end Liverpool thought they | :36:21. | :36:34. | |
were doing all right. The team looking to catch them | :36:35. | :36:37. | |
in fourth have there own problems. Manchester United's injury list | :36:38. | :36:47. | |
grows increasingly long. You can go from bed | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
to the toilet and break a leg. Swansea salvaged a late draw | :36:52. | :36:55. | |
at Old Trafford to boost Ecstasy comes in many | :36:56. | :37:11. | |
forms in this division. Bolton Wanderers will be playing | :37:12. | :37:15. | |
Championship football next season. A 3-0 win over Peterborough | :37:16. | :37:24. | |
on the final day of the League One season meant they pipped | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
Fleetwood to the final They return to the second tier | :37:28. | :37:29. | |
at the first time of asking Congratulations to fans of them this | :37:30. | :37:33. | |

an unbroken two year spell as world number one and has dominated | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
the sport recently. But it's nicely poised | :38:12. | :38:13. | |
going into the final day of competition, which | :38:14. | :38:15. | |
starts at 2 o'clock. Bath have kept alive their faint | :38:16. | :38:33. | |

secured his first career win in the race, winning Sunday's stage | :39:03. | :39:04. | |

against Austria's Dominic Thiem, who was outclassed, | :39:14. | :39:16. | |

Wladimir Klitschko, on Saturday night, Anthony Joshua has been | :39:27. | :39:28. | |
reflecting on his success. And despite adding the WBO and IBO | :39:29. | :39:30. | |
belts to his existing IBF title, here's how the Briton | :39:31. | :39:34. | |
responded to being described Do you know what it is, | :39:35. | :39:36. | |
I am going back to the same house Perception and reach changes, | :39:37. | :39:50. | |
but the ground I am I have to keep that mindset right | :39:51. | :39:56. | |
now and keep my feet firmly Still going to the launderette to do | :39:57. | :40:23. | |
his washing. But I imagine life is different. He was still worth ?20 | :40:24. | :40:29. | |
million beforehand. But now he might be one of the first sporting | :40:30. | :40:36. | |
billionaires. Especially if there is a rematch. Thank you very much. | :40:37. | :40:39. | |
Following the death of a student from meningitis, 4,200 | :40:40. | :40:44. | |
undergraduates at Surrey University are going to be given | :40:45. | :40:46. | |
The vaccination programme has been described as a precautionary step | :40:47. | :40:50. | |
Meningitis is an infection of the protective membranes | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
surrounding the brain and spinal cord. | :40:54. | :40:55. | |
Meningitis A, B, C, W, and Y are the most common in the UK. | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
Currently, there are three types of vaccine offered in the UK. | :41:00. | :41:01. | |
The MenC vaccine is given to babies at 12-13 months old. | :41:02. | :41:04. | |
In Scotland, infants get their first jab at three months. | :41:05. | :41:07. | |
The new MenB vaccine is given to babies at two, | :41:08. | :41:10. | |
And the vaccine for meningitis A, C, W, and Y is given | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
So, should people be concerned about this new outbreak and what can | :41:16. | :41:38. | |
Someone who can answer that and more is Steve Dayman founder | :41:39. | :41:43. | |
He's in our Bristol newsroom this morning. | :41:44. | :41:46. | |
Thank you very much. What do you know about this latest outbreak? We | :41:47. | :41:55. | |
any idea about why this particular Spikes in cases happen? -- spikes. | :41:56. | :42:07. | |
It is rare for there to be more than one case like we have seen in | :42:08. | :42:17. | |
Surrey. We have seen a high carriage rate. It is contagious. How is | :42:18. | :42:25. | |
generally transmitted? Well, bacteria lives in the backs of our | :42:26. | :42:30. | |
noses and throats and is passed by close contact. When I talk, I am | :42:31. | :42:38. | |
spraying droplets of water. We all have carried it had won point in our | :42:39. | :42:46. | |
lives. -- had it at one. Cobleigh 30-40 of your colleagues carry it. | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
-- probably. For the rest of us, along with other things we pick up, | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
the immune system kicks in and keeps it at a. But one or two will be | :42:57. | :43:02. | |
vulnerable. That is why they have kept this precaution and | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
administered thousands of vaccines. Are these programmes is effective | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
generally? Well, yes. We know that the many different types of | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
vaccines, they are very effective, especially with the new baby | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
programme, which has seen a big reduction in the number of cases in | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
that age group. Of course, as a charity, we are fighting to raise | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
funds for prevention, to support scientists, and we want to see the | :43:31. | :43:36. | |
vaccine offered to the high risk groups, the under fives, and at | :43:37. | :43:45. | |
university, like fresh students. The disease warriors people, as there | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
are many complications. Some vaccines cover the illness and some | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
don't We cannot completely relax and be complacent about it. There are no | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
other strains we have vaccines to protect against. It is important | :44:00. | :44:06. | |
everyone is aware of the symptoms of meningitis because we know from the | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
work we do, the earlier it is identified and prompt help afforded, | :44:11. | :44:21. | |
the better the outcome supplied when we look out for the rash, should we | :44:22. | :44:30. | |
look at the Simpsons before that? Yeah. There are no set pattern is | :44:31. | :44:39. | |
for the disease to present itself. But with meningitis, obviously, a | :44:40. | :44:45. | |
headache, a stiff neck, septicaemia, aching limbs, aching joints, call | :44:46. | :44:56. | |
hands and feet, and big, purple bruising. -- cold. But we say don't | :44:57. | :45:08. | |
wait for a rash because it might not appear at all. But in many cases, | :45:09. | :45:12. | |
like babies and toddlers, you would see a rapid deterioration in their | :45:13. | :45:16. | |
condition. If you see a rash, seek help immediately. Significant and | :45:17. | :45:21. | |
rapid change is important in all of this. Thank you. | :45:22. | :45:22. | |

to get in because there's no door, follow me. You come under here and | :46:19. | :46:22. | |
you literally climb up these steps which take you into the driver's | :46:23. | :46:27. | |
seat, but we're not going in because it is wet inside. This way is by the | :46:28. | :46:34. | |
.5 tons, so it is a big beast! It's been wet in Peterborough this | :46:35. | :46:40. | |
morning but the rain has stopped. -- it weighs 5.5 tons. The forecast for | :46:41. | :46:45. | |
many is showers in the south but in the north, especially the | :46:46. | :46:48. | |
north-west, some sunshine and warm sunshine at that. | :46:49. | :46:51. | |
North-west Scotland could get 20 today. If we look at the country at | :46:52. | :46:58. | |
9am, starting in Scotland, the west is best, we start off from the word | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
go with some fine but in the east there is more cloud around. Some | :47:03. | :47:05. | |
pantry raider across northern England at 9am. As we come out, | :47:06. | :47:11. | |
again some brighter breaks and cloud in the east -- patchy rain. The rain | :47:12. | :47:16. | |
across us is moving northwards and it will weaken as it does. Currently | :47:17. | :47:21. | |
it is moving northwards, across parts of the Midlands, East Anglia, | :47:22. | :47:26. | |
parts of the southern counties. It's been heavily in Devon and Cornwall | :47:27. | :47:30. | |
overnight, some parts have seen as much as an inch, and that will ease | :47:31. | :47:35. | |
through the morning and we got it in south Wales but north Wales, drier | :47:36. | :47:40. | |
and brighter. As we head into Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
will have a decent day if you like it's sunny and pleasantly warm. | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
Talking of through the day, a noticeable breeze along the east | :47:48. | :47:51. | |
coast blowing in cloud at times, especially in eastern Scotland. | :47:52. | :47:55. | |
Bands of rain weaken and they turned more showery but some of the showers | :47:56. | :48:01. | |
will be heavy and possibly thundery but in between them, sunny spells as | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
well. Temperatures under the cloud that bit lower in the east, 11 or | :48:06. | :48:09. | |
12, but if you're out of the cloud and showers, looking at the | :48:10. | :48:12. | |
mid-teens, apart from the west where we could have mid-teens or high | :48:13. | :48:16. | |
teens or possibly 20. Through the evening and overnight period you | :48:17. | :48:19. | |
will find under the clear skies we will have them by night, so after a | :48:20. | :48:23. | |
warm day, a cold night. Showers in the south fading and also a bit more | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
cloud at times on the breeze in the east, temperatures roughly 7-9. | :48:29. | :48:34. | |
Tomorrow we start with clear skies again in the north and west. Still | :48:35. | :48:38. | |
more cloud in the east at times but it will break up and we will see | :48:39. | :48:42. | |
sunny spells, but also showers developing in central parts of | :48:43. | :48:45. | |
England and through the day they will drift to the south-west. You | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
know the drill with showers, not all of will catch one and temperatures | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
again around the mid-to-high teens in the sunshine in the west. By the | :48:54. | :48:57. | |
time we get to Wednesday, we've got a bit more of the same, fairly | :48:58. | :49:05. | |
settled, mostly dry, one or two showers, more cloud in southern | :49:06. | :49:08. | |
areas, bright rather than wall to wall blue skies so the lion's share | :49:09. | :49:12. | |
of the sunshine will be in the west where we have the highest | :49:13. | :49:15. | |
temperatures. Before I go, Benny and Bjorn Rachel, a question. This buggy | :49:16. | :49:19. | |
goes from 0-6 did in how many seconds? -- Ben and Rachel? -- 0-6 | :49:20. | :49:32. | |
did. I would go six. Nearly. Four. Four seconds, it is as fast as a | :49:33. | :49:35. | |
Porsche. Wow, that is one of the few cars I | :49:36. | :49:42. | |
would fit in, I am liking that, I would be able to step up to that | :49:43. | :49:47. | |
one. Can you bring it back? With pleasure! I will dry off the seat, | :49:48. | :49:54. | |
though. That is impressive, 0-60 in four seconds! She has been looking | :49:55. | :49:59. | |
at the other trucks, they are pretty nice inside! Beds, fridges, very | :50:00. | :50:06. | |
nice! A slightly less luxurious form of transport now but functional and | :50:07. | :50:08. | |
important for many of us. They're used for five billion | :50:09. | :50:09. | |
journeys every year to shop, work or study, yet bus services | :50:10. | :50:12. | |
outside of London are in crisis, Councils across England and Wales | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
have cut their budgets by a third since 2010, | :50:16. | :50:18. | |
affecting thousands of routes. And it's the young, the less well | :50:19. | :50:21. | |
off and those living in small towns and villages who are said to be | :50:22. | :50:25. | |
the ones suffering most. Here's our transport | :50:26. | :50:28. | |
correspondent, Richard Westcott. Time's running out | :50:29. | :50:30. | |
for many of our buses. They carry three times more people | :50:31. | :50:33. | |
than the trains but thousands of council-subsidised routes have | :50:34. | :50:37. | |
gone in recent years. This is the 267 late-night service | :50:38. | :50:41. | |
from Bath to Froome. It's one of the services | :50:42. | :50:49. | |
that is facing cuts across the country, and in fact come | :50:50. | :50:54. | |
September the funding for this service is going to | :50:55. | :50:57. | |
run out completely. Most of the passengers | :50:58. | :50:59. | |
on this bus are young, like Holly, who works | :51:00. | :51:02. | |
lates in a restaurant. And Josh, who goes | :51:03. | :51:06. | |
to college in Bath. They can't afford to drive, | :51:07. | :51:08. | |
catch the more expensive train It's a really, really big deal | :51:09. | :51:11. | |
because you just can't find the same opportunities in a small town | :51:12. | :51:16. | |
like Froome, so being able to travel daily and nightly back from Bath, | :51:17. | :51:19. | |
it's really important to me being able to earn enough money | :51:20. | :51:22. | |
to live independently. How much longer have | :51:23. | :51:26. | |
you got potentially going How are you going to get | :51:27. | :51:28. | |
there for the next three years? Bath and North East Somerset council | :51:29. | :51:35. | |
says other authorities should help fund the service because | :51:36. | :51:43. | |
the passengers come First Bus has helped keep it | :51:44. | :51:45. | |
going for a few extra months, but in reality unless a campaign can | :51:46. | :51:51. | |
drum up more passengers, It's a story reflected across much | :51:52. | :51:54. | |
of England and Wales. Campaigners say nearly 3,000 | :51:55. | :52:02. | |
council-subsidised routes have been 500 of them last year when two | :52:03. | :52:04. | |
thirds of local authorities First Group run a fifth | :52:05. | :52:13. | |
of the buses outside London, which is where these | :52:14. | :52:21. | |
cuts are happening. We want to carry more customers, | :52:22. | :52:23. | |
that's how we are successful, is how the communities | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
we serve are successful. When we are criticised for bus cuts | :52:28. | :52:29. | |
or whatever we do take it hard. We only ever withdraw a service | :52:30. | :52:32. | |
as a very last resort and of course very often at the moment | :52:33. | :52:36. | |
a service is being withdrawn because of reductions | :52:37. | :52:39. | |
in local authority funding. Councils say years of cuts | :52:40. | :52:41. | |
in government funding has forced A new buses bill will soon give them | :52:42. | :52:44. | |
more powers to improve services, but back on the 267, | :52:45. | :52:51. | |
passengers know that once their bus disappears, it almost | :52:52. | :52:55. | |
never comes back. Moths are munching their way | :52:56. | :52:56. | |
through our clothes in record numbers this year because of | :52:57. | :53:07. | |
the unusually mild winter, according to the pest | :53:08. | :53:09. | |
control company Rentokil. They say the number of calls | :53:10. | :53:15. | |
to deal with infestation's doubled between February | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
and March this year. The larvae make a meal | :53:21. | :53:22. | |
of the protein found in natural materials such as wool and silk | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
and leave behind telltale holes. Paul Hetherington is director | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
of the charity Buglife and joins us Paul, good morning. Many people will | :53:31. | :53:44. | |
have been subject to this, opened the wardrobe and found holes in | :53:45. | :53:48. | |
their wardrobes. Why is it particularly bad at the moment? | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
Well, it's nothing to do with winter weather because the reality is ever | :53:53. | :53:57. | |
since we developed central heating, the clothes moths have been breeding | :53:58. | :54:00. | |
and living in our houses and breeding and living all year round | :54:01. | :54:04. | |
so it won't be anything to do with that phenomenon. I wonder if it's | :54:05. | :54:08. | |
partly because people have got used to not having clothes moths around | :54:09. | :54:12. | |
because there's been a big switch to acrylic type that aerials and will | :54:13. | :54:17. | |
is coming back into vogue and people are using them more and they are | :54:18. | :54:24. | |
finding clothes moths more because of those preventative measures not | :54:25. | :54:28. | |
being used -- acrylic type materials. Is it all types of moths | :54:29. | :54:35. | |
affecting all types of clothes? It is a particular species of moth that | :54:36. | :54:40. | |
lives on things like wool fibres, silk fibres and most of the rest of | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
the family that this particular moth is in live on things like fundi. | :54:45. | :54:50. | |
They are poor fliers, you will see them crawling rather than flying. | :54:51. | :54:53. | |
The females have more ability to fly but as I say, they don't fly very | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
far so if you've got them, they might get to your neighbours but not | :54:59. | :55:05. | |
very much further. It is really about them being in your house and | :55:06. | :55:08. | |
staying in your house and breeding within your house. Maybe not sending | :55:09. | :55:11. | |
them to your neighbours! Let's talk about what you can do to prevent it, | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
some preventative measures aren't as simple or as practical as you would | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
like, you would say put it in a plastic bag but if you want to wear | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
the clothes that isn't that viable, is it? No. Ceiling things in plastic | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
bags is a sure way to prevent moths getting in. Washing things, getting | :55:29. | :55:32. | |
them dry clean, shaking them will knock out any eggs and larvae so all | :55:33. | :55:41. | |
of those are good preventative measures. There are chemical | :55:42. | :55:43. | |
treatments, personally I wouldn't recommend any of them and you only | :55:44. | :55:47. | |
have to look over the history of the different chemicals used, originally | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
they used arsenic, then DDT, and then naphthalene, or have been | :55:52. | :55:54. | |
banned because they are very dangerous to humans so it is good to | :55:55. | :55:59. | |
take preventative measures. Keep the place clean. The moths are unhappy | :56:00. | :56:02. | |
in the light, so if you have something you are using a lot then | :56:03. | :56:07. | |
keep it out, give it a shake every day and things you don't use, wool | :56:08. | :56:12. | |
blankets, shake them out and pack them nice and tight in a plastic | :56:13. | :56:20. | |
bag, that will keep them safe. Are you saying people shouldn't go the | :56:21. | :56:23. | |
whole hog and get things fixed fumigated and get the exterminators | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
in, because you can't get rid of them in other ways? You can get rid | :56:29. | :56:33. | |
of them with good hygiene, give yourself a spring clean, scrub it | :56:34. | :56:38. | |
down, shake everything out, wash it and back it up and that should deal | :56:39. | :56:42. | |
with the problem with outputting chemicals in your house because who | :56:43. | :56:46. | |
knows of the long-term effect of those chemicals in your house. And | :56:47. | :56:50. | |
they will have a bad effect on some of the good invertebrates in your | :56:51. | :56:55. | |
house, like spiders, not everyone likes them but they do eat up the | :56:56. | :57:00. | |
moths. Worth bearing in mind. Thanks for your advice. People, the | :57:01. | :57:06. | |
director of moths. It would be good to hear your experience if you have | :57:07. | :57:08. | |

are being accused of a "shameful" failure to tackle online terrorist | :03:24. | :03:27. | |
propaganda and illegal content. A report by a group of MPs | :03:28. | :03:29. | |
claims sites like Facebook, Twitter and Google put more effort | :03:30. | :03:32. | |
into protecting their profits The Home Affairs Select Committee | :03:33. | :03:35. | |

near enough to tackle illegal, I think both the richest and biggest | :03:55. | :03:56. | |
companies in the world have both the ability and the responsibility | :03:57. | :04:05. | |
to make sure that this kind of illegal and dangerous | :04:06. | :04:07. | |
material is removed. I don't think they are taking this | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
seriously enough and I think The MP suggested fines for social | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
media companies that aren't removing They proposed they pay | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
for policing as well. That is similar to the model used | :04:21. | :04:31. | |
in football, where clubs pay All three companies criticised | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
in the report defended their approach to on-line safety, | :04:35. | :04:37. | |
and say they are committed Facebook, Twitter, and Google | :04:38. | :04:39. | |
all have ways to report things we see on-line which may be | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
illegal or inappropriate. But the MP's report criticises those | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
companies for relying too much on users and says they are | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
effectively outsourcing policing This is not the first time social | :04:53. | :04:54. | |

burglary at a house in Dorset has 61-year-old Guy Hedger was shot | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
as intruders entered the property in the early hours | :05:18. | :05:20. | |
of Sunday morning. Police cordon off a quiet cul-de-sac | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
that has now become a murder scene. Officers were first called | :05:23. | :05:31. | |
here after three yesterday morning. There were three or more | :05:32. | :05:36. | |
intruders in the house. Police believe that | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Guy Hedger did not know them, The offenders went in to | :05:43. | :05:44. | |
steal and they shot him. We have since launched a murder | :05:45. | :05:53. | |
inquiry and ask anyone with information to come | :05:54. | :06:01. | |
forward to help us. A second person who lives | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
in the house was there at the time. They said they were left deeply | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
affected by what happened and are now being cared | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
for by specially trained officers. Police say that the area will remain | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
sealed off and there will be high-visibility patrols today | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
to offer reassurance They want to hear from anyone | :06:24. | :06:24. | |
who saw anything suspicious, the key questions - | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
what led to the shooting, and why Guy Hedger | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
ended up losing his life. The organisation representing NHS | :06:33. | :06:34. | |
groups has called on political parties to commit to linking health | :06:35. | :06:45. | |
spending to the growth The NHS Confederation also wants | :06:46. | :06:47. | |
whoever forms the next Government to set up an independent body | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
to work out how much funding is needed to meet | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
the needs of the NHS. Our Health Editor | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
Hugh Pym reports.. The future funding of the NHS | :06:59. | :07:00. | |
is on the political agenda. Election manifestoes should spell | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
out where parties stand. The NHS Confederation representing | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
health groups in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, | :07:11. | :07:12. | |
has called for a commitment of GDP to be spent on health, as with | :07:13. | :07:19. | |
defence and international aid. They note that UK health spending | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
as a share of the economy at just under 10% is below that | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
of France and Germany. The organisation has also called | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
for an independent office to advise ministers on appropriate | :07:32. | :07:34. | |
funding for the NHS. The Confederation says political | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
parties must recognise that without action soon, | :07:40. | :07:40. | |
the health and care system will be Labour is promising to clamp down | :07:41. | :07:43. | |

want to stop poor quality carpet is being put on the rental market in | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
the first place. They say they want to introduce legal minimum standards | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
that would cover things like wiring, sewage systems, pests and damp and | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
that sort of thing and for councils to introduce a licensing scheme to | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
cover all landlords in the area. And ?100,000 maximum fine for landlords | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
that would flout the rules. The Conservatives say what's the point | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
on focusing on all the landlords, they say they need to focus on the | :08:56. | :09:02. | |
rogue ones. Lib Dems say they have been working hard on tackling rogue | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
landlords and they have been campaigning for a ban in letting | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
views. This is shaping up to be a target group for all the parties as | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
we get to a couple of weeks before the manifestos are due out. Thank | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
you. At least 13 people are now confirmed | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
to have died as tornados hit the US state of Texas | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
over the weekend. More than 50 people are in hospital | :09:27. | :09:28. | |
according to local authorities. The American midwest has | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
been struck by an intensive weather system that has caused damage | :09:32. | :09:33. | |
across several states including neighbouring | :09:34. | :09:35. | |
Missouri and Oklahoma, which are now in | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
a state of emergency. Campaigning in the French | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
presidential elections is entering its final week, | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
ahead of the vote on Sunday. Both candidates, | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
the centrist Emmanuel Macron and his far-right opponent | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
Marine Le Pen, will lead major Let's go live to Paris, | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
where Marine Le Pen's father, Jean Marie Le Pen will be giving | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
a speech to the National Front. Our Europe Correspondent James | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Reynolds is there What affect The final week. The polls have | :09:59. | :10:07. | |
called Emmanuel Macron but could Marine le Pen pull it out the bag | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
this week? She's certainly hopes that she can. I think today being a | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
national holiday, made the first, we will see competing versions of | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
France, competing visions about what this country should be, which may | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
give us an indication of how fractured this country is and where | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
those candidates stand. Jean Marie Le Pen, the founder of the National | :10:29. | :10:34. | |
party will be here in front of the statue of Joan of Arc, who has been | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
adopted and adapted by the party in recent years. Their Marine le Pen | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
will hold her own rally. Polls show she continues to trail a manual | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
macron but she still hopes to pick up the supporters of defeated | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
candidates from the first round. Emmanuel Macron will hold his own | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
rally later in the day. Lovely, thank you. James Reynolds in Paris | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
for us. We will stay across that story is on faults during the week. | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
The testing of primary school children - used to make important | :11:06. | :11:08. | |
decisions about students - is damaging and should | :11:09. | :11:10. | |
be reformed according to an influential group of MPs. | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
The cross-party Education Select Committee says | :11:13. | :11:13. | |
the way SATs results are used to judge schools, causes a negative | :11:14. | :11:16. | |
The Department for Education said it will consider the report and respond | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
in due course. From commitments for a seven | :11:25. | :11:28. | |
day NHS, to integrated The NHS will continue | :11:29. | :11:30. | |
to be a key battle ground for all political parties | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
as the General Election Now the organisation | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
which represents all NHS groups has come up with its own plan of what it | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
would like to see. One of its key proposals | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
is linking health spending To tell us more is Niall Dickson, | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
chief Executive of The NHS Good morning. Thank you for your | :11:47. | :11:58. | |
time this morning. We know we will hear an awful lot about this from | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
the various different political parties in the next few weeks. I | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
guess it is important for you guys to get your pitch in early. What is | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
the main message you are sending out today? Everybody understands the | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
Brexit negotiations are going to dominate this election, but I think | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
we feel that the country faces another set of really important | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
decisions, a round of funding, the cost and indeed the reform of health | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
and care services. Which is why we believe that the level of funding | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
should be linked to the gross domestic product, so when the | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
economy grows, then the funding grows. We need to establish an | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
independent body to assess level of need and the trends over the next | :12:41. | :12:47. | |
ten or 20 years. So it is about trying to establish something that's | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
independent of government, but also gives some clarity to government | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
around, and to the population, about the levels of funding going into the | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
system. Linking it to GDP is interesting. Traditionally the UK | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
spends less per hen GDP on health than other countries do, the USA for | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
example, Japan, France and Germany. But if you link it to economic | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
performance, despite the fact things have been pretty robust in the last | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
couple of years in the UK, it can dip down. Health needs themselves | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
don't necessarily respond to that, they are a cute as ever. Isn't there | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
a danger? I suppose there is. If you look at defence and you look at | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
international aid, both of which have been linked, I think they have | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
benefited from that clarity about how much government or all of us are | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
willing to spend on that area. Of course, if a government finds itself | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
with an economy that's going into recession, as we did in 2008, | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
whether it is linked to GDP or not, the answer is funding levels and to | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
are likely to suffer. People will make arguments to try and defend | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
what is really difficult area, and what differentiate health and care | :14:02. | :14:04. | |
from some other areas is perhaps the level of demand. If you look across | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
the next 20 years, the number of people who are over 85 is going to | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
double post I will say that again, will double. The effect of that on | :14:13. | :14:17. | |
health and care is very profound and we need to ask ourselves pretty hard | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
questions. We are not saying that funding is the be all and end all. | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
It is necessary but it's not sufficient. The system needs to deal | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
with a massive workforce crisis at the moment and it also needs to | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
transform itself. It frankly is not fit for purpose at the moment. | :14:33. | :14:36. | |
Setting those things aside, if it doesn't get enough funding, it won't | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
be able to Gbyte of those things. Talking about our elderly, growing | :14:44. | :14:45. | |
elderly population, so much discussion recently about | :14:46. | :14:47. | |
integrating health and social care. We don't seem to be making a huge | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
amount of progress. It may become a devolved issue, in Greater | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
Manchester it's been talked about, if they could have control over | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
social and health care. How do you see that panning out? I think you | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
are right, integrating services, that is to say making sure that | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
instead of having a system that is incentivised at the moment to do | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
one-off interventions and do more and more of them, has to be able to | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
cope with a very large number of elderly people who have got often | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
lots of different long-term conditions. That means effectively | :15:19. | :15:23. | |
trying to treat them earlier in the community and organising services so | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
that when an elderly person find themselves going up the chain | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
towards the hospital, that the system is geared to minimising the | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
time that they have at the hospital end and maximising the amount of | :15:37. | :15:40. | |
prevention and support that you can give them in the community. We are | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
some way away from achieving that, but I think the whole system is | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
committed to moving toward it, but we would argue there is also a need | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
for some transitional funding, to enable people to build up new | :15:52. | :15:55. | |
services while the older ones are run down. If I can mostly briefly, | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
we are also talking about the option of setting up some kind of | :15:59. | :16:02. | |
independent ombudsman to oversee funding of the NHS. A lot of voters | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
would like to see the whole question of funding taken out of the Bish | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
Bash Bosh of political parties, is it feasible? I don't think it is, it | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
will always remain a political question. What we are saying is if | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
you set up something like an Office for Budget Responsibility for | :16:22. | :16:23. | |
health, that organisation will at least be able to provide the | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
evidence and then we can have the political argument, which we will | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
always have, about how much is a society do we want to go to meet | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
those needs? Having an objective assessment of those neat and frankly | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
holding my members to account for the value for money that they | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
provide seems to us a way in which you could at least improve the | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
quality of the debate. Thank you very much indeed. Good to talk to, | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Niall Dickson, chief executive of the NHS Confederation. | :16:50. | :16:59. | |
Now, big trucks, massive tyres, rain, who did we send to | :17:00. | :17:04. | |
Peterborough? It is Carol. What have you found? I can vouch for the mod, | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
it is in my hair. We've got a lovely quad bike rider behind me who will | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
perform a spectacular stunt. My heart is in my mouth... It's Jason, | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
and he's gone right over my head. We are in a monster truck, he's on a | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
Yamaha quad bike, 450 cc, 70 miles an hour top speed, he jumps over | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
trucks regularly, so I do feel safe and he's been riding for 25 years, | :17:35. | :17:41. | |
the former... Mike Eddy and! Motocross racer and he's competed at | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
World Championships, for goodness sake, don't do this at home. -- my | :17:45. | :17:53. | |
DD and. Truck Fest opens at 9am today, lots going on, lots of things | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
that the family to get involved in. I'll know! It's raining mad! You can | :18:02. | :18:08. | |
get involved and also it is, and 40,000 people expected through the | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
gates today. Now the weather... It's been touring gets this morning but | :18:16. | :18:22. | |
the rain has eased off. Warmest and sunniest conditions north-west | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
Scotland. Temperatures up to 20 Celsius. At 9am across Scotland, | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
West is best, in the East fairly cloudy. Further south into northern | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
England, some patchy rain, brighter skies behind that, then across East | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
Anglia into the Midlands, Southern counties, some rain, heavy this | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
morning, Levien northwards it tends to weaken. Also it heavy rain in | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Devon and Cornwall Police, the rain still very much with this through | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
the day but it will weaken as it drifts further south. For Wales, | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
some rain this morning, North Wales dryer and brighter. Heading off into | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
Northern Ireland, rather like Scotland, a fine and dry day later, | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
a little bit more cloud building in the east. Through the course of the | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
day, a breeze coming from the North Sea, that's bringing in the cloud | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
but it will break here and there. The rain we have across England and | :19:22. | :19:25. | |
Wales turning water shall worry but some of the showers will be heavy | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
and thundery, in between there will be some sunshine in the north-west | :19:30. | :19:34. | |
is where we will have the highest temperatures approaching 20, in the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
east more likely 11 or 12, but the rest of us, low to mid teens. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
Through the evening and overnight, under the skies in the West the | :19:44. | :19:47. | |
temperature dropping quite quickly, a cold night, showers in the South | :19:48. | :19:52. | |
fading. Still hanging onto some cloud in the East, temperatures | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
roughly between six and 9 degrees. Tomorrow we start off with more | :19:59. | :20:01. | |
cloud in the east, it will break up slowly as we go through the day, | :20:02. | :20:07. | |
also prone to some showers across central England which will drift | :20:08. | :20:10. | |
south west as we go through the day. You know the drill with showers, not | :20:11. | :20:15. | |
all of this will catch them. Temperatures in the high teens. For | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Wednesday, in the South a little bit more cloud, bright, some sunny | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
spells, rather than wall-to-wall blue sky and further north, once | :20:25. | :20:29. | |
again, a fair bit of sunshine, the temperature is responding | :20:30. | :20:33. | |
accordingly. Typical bank all the weather, Rachel and then. Raining | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
today and dries up for most of as we go through the rest of the week. For | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
most of us, it won't be raining mad! Can I say, you win the prize for the | :20:43. | :20:48. | |
coolest and calmest person that ever sat under a flying quad bike. If you | :20:49. | :20:52. | |
need anything on your CV, that is it. You look as if you're sitting | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
there having a cup of tea. I am fully confident with Jason, he's | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
brilliant. We like it. More from you later. Thank you. | :21:04. | :21:13. | |
Six days, 26.2 miles and a two blistered knees later - | :21:14. | :21:21. | |
the man who chose to crawl the London Marathon dressed | :21:22. | :21:23. | |
as a Gorilla finally completed the course at the weekend. | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
He moved on his hands and knees for around 12 hours a day | :21:27. | :21:29. | |
and has so far raised more than ?30,000 for charity. | :21:30. | :21:31. | |
Some call him mad, some call him Mr Gorilla - | :21:32. | :21:34. | |
the man himself Tom Harrison is here in the studio! | :21:35. | :21:36. | |
But before we speak to him, let's have a look at his journey. | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
CHEERING APPLAUSE | :21:44. | :22:22. | |
As you can see, Tom is here with us, good morning. | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
Good morning. We could do the entire interview with your mouse gone but | :22:29. | :22:31. | |
people might want to see who is underneath so if you want to take it | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
off, it's up to you. I find it faintly disturbing! Here he is! | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
Really nice to see you, congratulations first of all, | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
incredible journey. Toggles what went through your mind. -- talk us | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
through. The first thing was perhaps I had bitten off more than I could | :22:53. | :22:57. | |
chew. I started off with a plan that I would do nine miles a day, that | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
was my hope, by the end of the first day I'd only done for and a half | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
miles, my knees were blistered. I started to get a little bit worried | :23:07. | :23:11. | |
that I might not be able to get round, or I wouldn't be able to do | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
it in three days. Talk us through the technique. What does it involve? | :23:16. | :23:21. | |
I did a crawl a bit like a baby on hands and knees. And then because of | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
my knees, being blistered I had to adapt and started walking on hands | :23:29. | :23:34. | |
and feet. So like in the clip, I am sort of bent over, leaning onto my | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
knuckles or my palms. That looks so uncomfortable. Did you train? In | :23:39. | :23:45. | |
that way or did you just not bother, did you just think I'll do it and | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
see how I get on? The training that I did do was four or five sessions | :23:49. | :23:55. | |
on my hands and knees so I haven't trained using my hands and feet, | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
really I have to just picked up as I went along. Yes, which was another | :23:59. | :24:04. | |
reason why it turned out to be that bit harder. The other thing about | :24:05. | :24:09. | |
the marathon, if you do it on the day, 5-6 hours, there are people | :24:10. | :24:14. | |
there, the streets are aligned, presumably there are moments in this | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
26 miles when it was just you crawling along the street and people | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
must have been thinking what is that guy doing? Certainly, then the first | :24:23. | :24:26. | |
mile and a half I didn't have anyone with me and all the runners left me | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
far behind, people were giving me some strange looks and a wide berth, | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
but some people were clapping, I had a number on my back and they | :24:37. | :24:40. | |
realised what I was doing, I did still get a little bit of support | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
but it was really only after Abate three, that it started to spread | :24:46. | :24:47. | |
out. People were picking up on it I then. On social media, people were | :24:48. | :24:55. | |
stopping me for photos, bringing me drinks and snacks, banana muffins, | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
it got better as I went round. Let's talk about why you did it. Because | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
it's an important cause. He went on a trip to Africa last year, that's | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
all related to it, explain that for us. Last November I was lucky enough | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
to go out to see the mountain gorillas in Rwanda and Uganda on a | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
tour arranged by the gorilla organisation. They are a charity | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
that I did the marathon for. And I was so inspired by seeing the | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
gorillas in their natural habitat, seeing how content they were, just | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
being left alone, and by all the work that the gorillas organisation | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
do, is Rangers and working with the local people on the fringe of the | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
Forest to make themselves sufficient, I thought I have got to | :25:42. | :25:44. | |
do something more for them, something a bit special. And I | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
thought how would a gorilla get round the London Marathon? Of course | :25:52. | :25:56. | |
you did! Not that they would be daft enough to do one, but if they did, | :25:57. | :26:00. | |
it would have been on their hands and feet, the knuckle walking. | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
Gorillas more intelligent than us in that sense. Let's see you cross the | :26:07. | :26:09. | |
line, this must have been the most amazing feeling, I doze your | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
children beside you? The older one is Nicholas, the younger one is | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
Alex, they walked the last 100 metres for me and Bill Oddie, and | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
Ian Redmond met me at the finish with a toy gorilla and a trophy. Did | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
they feel like the heaviest things in the world to hold? Yes, | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
absolutely. And I went for a little swim yesterday and my arms were | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
protesting at me doing that but it's all been in a great cause, my web | :26:39. | :26:46. | |
page just giving .com/ Mister- gorilla is still open, I would urge | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
people to jump on there and sponsor a great cause. I am amazed you are | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
still in that suit because I think I would have burned it by now. The | :26:57. | :27:01. | |
total is up to... With gift aid it's just over 40,000. Amazing, well | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
done, brilliant, nice to see you. You are allowed a lie down now. | :27:07. | :27:10. | |
Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are. | :27:11. | :30:37. | |
Now though it's back to Rachel and Ben. | :30:38. | :30:45. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast with Ben Thompson and Rachel Burden. | :30:46. | :30:50. | |

The Home Affairs Select Committee says firms - | :31:01. | :31:02. | |
including Facebook, Twitter and Google - | :31:03. | :31:03. | |

But, the Conservatives say it will lead to rent rises. | :32:09. | :32:13. | |
The testing of primary school children - used to make important | :32:14. | :32:16. | |
decisions about students - is damaging and should be reformed | :32:17. | :32:18. | |
according to an influential group of MPs. | :32:19. | :32:20. | |
The cross-party Education Select Committee says the way SATs results | :32:21. | :32:23. | |

Some nice pictures for you this morning. | :32:51. | :33:04. | |
A chance discovery by a pre-school child has saved a family of owls. | :33:05. | :33:07. | |
Three large eggs were found in a sawdust bucket next | :33:08. | :33:10. | |
to a compost toilet at a forest school near Winchester. | :33:11. | :33:12. | |
At first, they weren't quite sure what type of bird | :33:13. | :33:14. | |
it was until they saw this fly from the outdoor loo. | :33:15. | :33:17. | |
The school set up a camera and caught the father owl feeding | :33:18. | :33:20. | |
the mother while she sat on the eggs, and then | :33:21. | :33:22. | |
They are now a month old and doing well. | :33:23. | :33:28. | |
THEY HAVE BEEN NAMED, HAVEN'T THEY RACHEL? THEY HAVE... ARE YOU GOING | :33:29. | :33:35. | |
TO MAKE ME SAY IT AGAIN? The pair have been | :33:36. | :33:37. | |
called Twit and Twoo. That is the role of any farther to | :33:38. | :33:43. | |
be. You are up-to-date with the headlines this morning. Kat is here | :33:44. | :33:51. | |
with the sport and a very busy weekend. | :33:52. | :33:56. | |
It has been, and not over yet, Liverpool play Watford this evening. | :33:57. | :34:00. | |
The Champions League race becoming hot. | :34:01. | :34:07. | |
Yes, very tight, especially with the two Manchester teams struggling over | :34:08. | :34:08. | |
the weekend. Chelsea have been top since December | :34:09. | :34:19. | |
and still top. Three games -- four games to go and they have to win | :34:20. | :34:22. | |
three of them. You wouldn't bet against them. | :34:23. | :34:24. | |
Chelsea have maintained their lead at the top of the Premier League | :34:25. | :34:27. | |
after an impressive 3-0 win at Everton yesterday. | :34:28. | :34:29. | |
Pedro scored a brilliant opener for Antonio Conte's side, | :34:30. | :34:31. | |
while Gary Cahill and Willian got the other second half goals. | :34:32. | :34:34. | |
Chelsea have a four point advantage with just four games | :34:35. | :34:36. | |
We must be pleased, because we play the game with our head. This part of | :34:37. | :34:54. | |
the season is very important play with your head, then your heart and | :34:55. | :34:57. | |
then your legs. I think we did this today. | :34:58. | :35:05. | |
But second placed Tottenham continue the chase. | :35:06. | :35:06. | |
They were impressive in a 2-0 victory over | :35:07. | :35:08. | |
Delli Alli and Harry Kane got the goals to guarantee that Spurs | :35:09. | :35:12. | |
will finish the League season above their neighbours | :35:13. | :35:18. | |
Elsewhere Manchester City are still fourth after | :35:19. | :35:21. | |
Manchester United stay fifth after being held at home by Swansea. | :35:22. | :35:25. | |
Lewis Hamilton was put in the shade by his teammate | :35:26. | :35:27. | |
Valtteri Bottas yesterday - who claimed his maiden F1 win | :35:28. | :35:30. | |
The Mercedes driver held off a late challenge from Sebastian Vettel | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
Hamilton came a disappointing fourth. | :35:35. | :35:37. | |
World Number One Mark Selby will go into the last day | :35:38. | :35:40. | |
of the World Snooker Championship final trailing John Higgins | :35:41. | :35:42. | |
Defending champion Selby won the last three frames of the day | :35:43. | :35:48. | |
to give himself a lifeline having trailed 10-4 to | :35:49. | :35:50. | |
Selby is currently enjoying an unbroken two year spell as World | :35:51. | :36:00. | |
Number One and has dominated the sport recently. | :36:01. | :36:02. | |
But it's nicely poised going into the final day of competition, | :36:03. | :36:06. | |
Organisers for the Tour de Yorkshire say more than 2 million people | :36:07. | :36:11. | |
turned out across the county over the weekend to see some | :36:12. | :36:13. | |
The final stage of the men's race from Bradford to Fox Valley | :36:14. | :36:19. | |
near Sheffield included some tough climbs and steep descents. | :36:20. | :36:24. | |
Belgian Serge Pauwels won yesterday's stage to secure | :36:25. | :36:26. | |
And he's all over the papers this morning again. | :36:27. | :36:35. | |
After his captivating victory over former undisputed heavyweight | :36:36. | :36:37. | |
champion Wladimir Klitschko on Saturday night, Anthony Joshua | :36:38. | :36:38. | |
And despite adding the WBO and IBO belts to his existing IBF title, | :36:39. | :36:44. | |
here's how the Briton responded to being described as | :36:45. | :36:47. | |
Do you know what it is, I am going back to the same house | :36:48. | :36:57. | |
Perception and reach changes, but the ground I am | :36:58. | :37:06. | |
I have to keep that mindset right now and keep my feet firmly | :37:07. | :37:18. | |
Feet firmly on the ground. But life is about to change, global sporting | :37:19. | :37:27. | |
star is a bit of an understatement when it comes to Anthony Joshua. But | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
I think perhaps that attitude, he is so humble. I think that's why he's | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
about to become a global superstar. And that sort of transcends the | :37:38. | :37:40. | |
world of boxing and he pulls in those viewers, which the promoters | :37:41. | :37:44. | |
will laugh because that is where the money lies. He's all over the | :37:45. | :37:48. | |
papers, and rightly so, this morning. He has returned home and | :37:49. | :37:56. | |
been reunited with his mum, going back to the launderette to pay his | :37:57. | :37:58. | |
washing bills! Thank you. A childhood in an infamous care home | :37:59. | :38:00. | |
and a short stint behind bars might not seem the most likely | :38:01. | :38:04. | |
career path for an award But those experiences marked | :38:05. | :38:06. | |
the early life of Alex Wheatle. He created the fictional | :38:07. | :38:10. | |
South Crongton estate, where unemployment, deprivation | :38:11. | :38:12. | |
and drugs are a part Crongton Knights told | :38:13. | :38:16. | |
the tough, but often funny, Now he's taking us back | :38:17. | :38:21. | |
there again in his new book Straight Outta Crongton, | :38:22. | :38:25. | |
and he's with us this Terrific to have you here this | :38:26. | :38:34. | |
morning. Thank you. In the short time we have we can't go into all | :38:35. | :38:39. | |
the details of your really tough childhood, but it has obviously had | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
a profound influence on you and your writing. Tell us a bit about your | :38:44. | :38:47. | |
journey through to becoming an author modular it started at three | :38:48. | :38:52. | |
years old when I was placed in Lambeth social services. I was in | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
Shirley Oaks almost all my childhood. I left at 16 and moved to | :38:56. | :39:01. | |
Brixton. You were physically abused in Shirley Oaks? Yes I was, | :39:02. | :39:06. | |
violently, physically and sexually and even mentally. I had that to | :39:07. | :39:10. | |
overcome and I had depression for many years. How old when you left | :39:11. | :39:16. | |
Marcello 16, 15 or 16. What kind of a 16-year-old were you Marcello very | :39:17. | :39:22. | |
confused, low self 16. I didn't believe I could contribute to | :39:23. | :39:27. | |
society in any way. I felt like an outsider, so alone and isolated. All | :39:28. | :39:31. | |
those issues to deal with. Where did you go from there? From there, | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
funnily enough my prison stint helped me. I bumped into someone who | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
I shared a cell with and they encouraged me to start reading and | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
to write down my feelings and try to get this bitterness out of me. So it | :39:46. | :39:49. | |
first came out in poetry and song lyrics. That really helped me come | :39:50. | :39:56. | |
to terms with issues on the bitterness I had growing up. From | :39:57. | :40:02. | |
that writing came at the book series on the latest... You talk about the | :40:03. | :40:07. | |
issues in it, dealing with gangs and drugs and physical aggression and | :40:08. | :40:10. | |
verbal abuse. Pretty heavy issues to deal with. Young people have to deal | :40:11. | :40:18. | |
with pretty serious issues, and it's not just a south London thing. I | :40:19. | :40:20. | |
travelled quite widely promoting my books. The other day I was in the | :40:21. | :40:26. | |
north of Newcastle and I came across the same problems I see in South | :40:27. | :40:32. | |
London. This latest novel is about a young girl, 15 years old, and many | :40:33. | :40:36. | |
people, many young children now don't live in the traditional | :40:37. | :40:40. | |
nuclear family is, so I decided to change the narrative. Sometimes we | :40:41. | :40:46. | |
see a young boy maybe not getting on with his mum's boyfriend father's | :40:47. | :40:51. | |
girlfriend, but I try to change the narrative. I thought it would be | :40:52. | :40:55. | |
more interesting from a young girl's perspective, she doesn't get on with | :40:56. | :40:59. | |
her mother's boyfriend and he's quite abusive towards. Who do these | :41:00. | :41:03. | |
books tend to work for? There are two ways you can read them, an | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
outsider looking in and realising what many young people are facing, | :41:08. | :41:11. | |
but also if you are a young person going through exactly this, it's | :41:12. | :41:14. | |
some sort of help and reassurance you're not alone. Yes, that you are | :41:15. | :41:20. | |
not alone, someone is writing for you, writers are out there trying to | :41:21. | :41:23. | |
relate their experiences. I think it is so important. There are so many | :41:24. | :41:27. | |
people up and down trying to deal with these kinds of issues I'm | :41:28. | :41:32. | |
trying to write about. I'm trying to do something for children in those | :41:33. | :41:36. | |
situations. There's a gap between representation in the literary world | :41:37. | :41:41. | |
of young people, young people of colour in particular. I think you've | :41:42. | :41:45. | |
said it goes way beyond just having black borders that are represented, | :41:46. | :41:50. | |
it goes right through the publishing industry. It does. There was a | :41:51. | :41:55. | |
recent report, I believe, that highlighted this case. I think some | :41:56. | :41:59. | |
of their major publishers have dealt with this. My publisher are dealing | :42:00. | :42:04. | |
with this, setting up the unit to deal with this issue, to get more | :42:05. | :42:08. | |
representation within the workforce. There is a long way to go but I | :42:09. | :42:11. | |
believe it has started. Young people of that kind of age, teenagers, are | :42:12. | :42:16. | |
they reading still, as much as you would want? We have the Harry Potter | :42:17. | :42:22. | |
effects but it was a Jan cashback a younger age group. If we provide the | :42:23. | :42:28. | |
sources they are interested in, they will come to read it. It is up to | :42:29. | :42:33. | |
ask authors on the industry to provide relative stories they can | :42:34. | :42:37. | |
engage in. I think it is down to us. Also very current, you talk about | :42:38. | :42:43. | |
being moved by some of the marchers, like the women's march in Washington | :42:44. | :42:46. | |
in response to Donald Trump's presidency. That was a big | :42:47. | :42:50. | |
motivator. It was. When I was editing the last chapters of | :42:51. | :42:54. | |
Straight Outta Crongton, is about three girls trying surviving a | :42:55. | :43:00. | |
particular situation, I'd dedicated the book to those marchers. I have | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
family in Washington, DC, sisters and a brother. The movement movement | :43:06. | :43:10. | |
quite deeply. I thought it was apt to dedicate the book to that. Alex, | :43:11. | :43:15. | |
you yourself have an amazing story to tell. Good luck with your book | :43:16. | :43:18. | |
and thank you for coming in to talk to us about it. | :43:19. | :43:20. | |
Alex's new book is called Straight Outta Crongton. | :43:21. | :43:22. | |
Time for some weather with Carol is out and about this morning. We have | :43:23. | :43:30. | |
seen incredible sites this morning. Jumped by a quad bike earlier! You | :43:31. | :43:39. | |
look a bit more safe on solid ground now. | :43:40. | :43:45. | |
For now, yes. Good morning to you. The truck behind me is amazing. This | :43:46. | :43:50. | |
is a monster truck. It is 14 foot tall, 12 foot wide and its tyres are | :43:51. | :43:55. | |
five foot six and height. It is one of a monster trucks taking part | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
today. Expected to be about 40,000 people coming today. There are 3000 | :44:02. | :44:06. | |
trucks and monster trucks taking part and lots of fun things for the | :44:07. | :44:09. | |
family to do. You can look at the quad bikes in the background as | :44:10. | :44:15. | |
well. It has been pouring buckets this morning, which is why it is so | :44:16. | :44:21. | |
muddy. As we go through the day, the rain we have will turn weaker and | :44:22. | :44:25. | |
more patchy and more showery in nature. The brighter skies today | :44:26. | :44:28. | |
will be in north-west Scotland, that is where we will have the highest | :44:29. | :44:32. | |
temperatures. Northern Ireland not faring too badly either. For | :44:33. | :44:36. | |
Scotland this morning at nine o'clock, the West is best in terms | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
of sunshine. The East seeing a bit more cloud. Moving south into | :44:41. | :44:46. | |
northern England, here there is some rain. A few brighter breaks in the | :44:47. | :44:51. | |
cloud and then back into the rain across East Anglia, into the | :44:52. | :44:57. | |
Midlands and the Southern counties. There have been some heavy rain in | :44:58. | :45:03. | |
northern Cornwall. Through the morning that will weaken. The south | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
Wales, again, some rain this morning but turning more showery through the | :45:09. | :45:11. | |
course of the day. North Wales after a drier and brighter start. For | :45:12. | :45:15. | |
Northern Ireland, again this morning a fine start for you. We will see | :45:16. | :45:18. | |
some sunshine through the course of the day, a little more cloud | :45:19. | :45:22. | |
developing in the east. Not a particularly cold start to the day. | :45:23. | :45:27. | |
Through the course of the day, there is a noticeable breeze coming in | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
from the North Sea. You will also see a bit more cloud coming in from | :45:32. | :45:36. | |
the North Sea. Even so, some holes in the cloud. The rain will turn | :45:37. | :45:40. | |
more showery in England and Wales but some of those showers will be | :45:41. | :45:44. | |
heavy and sundry. Many of us will miss them. In Northern Ireland, | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
sunny spells prevail and hear the highest temperatures, approaching 20 | :45:50. | :45:52. | |
in some parts. Through the evening and overnight, where we have the | :45:53. | :45:56. | |
clearest skies every day we will hang on overnight, after a warm day | :45:57. | :46:00. | |
the temperature will dip rapidly in be cold. We hang on to the cloud in | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
eastern areas and showers in the South will fade and die, with | :46:04. | :46:08. | |
temperatures between 7-9. Tomorrow, we start off with the | :46:09. | :46:13. | |
cloud in the East, breezy. There will be some showers developing in | :46:14. | :46:16. | |
the day in central parts of England. They will tend to drift towards the | :46:17. | :46:21. | |
south-west. But for most of us, a dry day. Temperatures into the mid | :46:22. | :46:25. | |
to high teens. Then by the time we get to Wednesday, Wednesday sees the | :46:26. | :46:30. | |
southern half of the country with a bit more cloud, bright with sunny | :46:31. | :46:34. | |
skies, but once again the north and north-west hanging on to the | :46:35. | :46:37. | |
sunshine for the longest. Temperatures very similar. We saw in | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
the background the quad bike doing fantastic tricks. What we have is | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
the driver with us, Jason. Let me chat to you for a bit about what you | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
have been doing. It has been spectacular. That stunt you did when | :46:54. | :46:57. | |
you just flew right over us in the monster truck, how long did it take | :46:58. | :46:59. | |
to practice? It wasn't too long, I started racing | :47:00. | :47:11. | |
motocross as a young lad, it was just moving from doing stunts to | :47:12. | :47:19. | |
doing it across a metal rod. What inspired you to do it? I retired | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
from motocross but I wanted to ride bikes for a living, I wanted to | :47:24. | :47:27. | |
think of something else I could do and it came about, the idea of | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
putting and making an exhibition. Do you come up with all your own | :47:32. | :47:35. | |
routines? That's right, we design a new routine each year, it's all our | :47:36. | :47:41. | |
own programme and we try to keep it entertaining. How do you keep it | :47:42. | :47:45. | |
safe, it looks pretty dangerous, we shouldn't be trying this at home? | :47:46. | :47:49. | |
It's difficult to keep it safe, we try our best, to make sure we do the | :47:50. | :47:53. | |
same routine every single time and go through the same safety checks | :47:54. | :47:58. | |
every time, that part of it is very important, and also try to stay on | :47:59. | :48:02. | |
edge, stay nervous, it keeps you on top of your game. What's the most | :48:03. | :48:08. | |
dangerous routine you do? I think probably on a day like today when | :48:09. | :48:11. | |
it's wet and the grass is quite wet and muddy, you are struggling for | :48:12. | :48:16. | |
traction and that it comes a lot more dangerous than if it were a | :48:17. | :48:20. | |
nice dry day. You very kindly promised to give me a little ride | :48:21. | :48:25. | |
nearby, might is Assistant will provide me with a hat, Al just get | :48:26. | :48:37. | |
this on... Helmet on. Ready to go. STUDIO: Carol is off. My goodness. I | :48:38. | :48:45. | |
am hoping they are not going to do the job they did earlier commenters | :48:46. | :48:49. | |
to be clear. That Carol and she is off, hopefully she will be back | :48:50. | :48:54. | |
tomorrow. Just the look in her eyes as she got on. She has done so well | :48:55. | :48:59. | |
this morning, she has a here full of mod, soaking wet... She might need a | :49:00. | :49:10. | |
shower later! It's 8:49am. But first... | :49:11. | :49:13. | |
If you're eating out, and you're so full you just | :49:14. | :49:15. | |
A survey suggests two-fifths of people are reluctant | :49:16. | :49:21. | |
This is contributing to millions of tonnes | :49:22. | :49:24. | |
That's assuming there are leftovers come off when I'm out for dinner, | :49:25. | :49:33. | |
more often than not there isn't. Now restaurants in Scotland | :49:34. | :49:36. | |
are taking part in a scheme to get people to take | :49:37. | :49:38. | |
their unfinished meals home. Holly Hamilton has | :49:39. | :49:40. | |
been to find out more. When it comes to dining out, | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
we're spoilt for choice. And in an all super-sized era, | :49:44. | :49:45. | |
portion sizes are getting bigger And yet even if we can't manage | :49:46. | :49:48. | |
to finish everything on our plate, most of us are quite reluctant | :49:49. | :49:52. | |
to ask for it to be boxed up and taken home with us, | :49:53. | :49:55. | |
in other words a doggy bag. Adam, do you mind if | :49:56. | :49:58. | |
I get the rest to go? In fact, one survey found that | :49:59. | :50:00. | |
while 70% of people said they'd like a doggy bag, 42% said they'd be | :50:01. | :50:06. | |
too embarrassed to ask for one. Makes you feel a bit conscious | :50:07. | :50:09. | |
of the fact that you might be looked upon differently if | :50:10. | :50:25. | |
you ask for the food. If they give you too big a helping | :50:26. | :50:27. | |
and you can't finish it you've paid for it, so you got a choice | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
of taking it home and having it That's sensible as far | :50:32. | :50:34. | |
as I'm concerned. I have on numerous occasions | :50:35. | :50:39. | |
and I don't have any problem It's so much waste, | :50:40. | :50:41. | |
I have a small appetite, I enjoy good food but I would | :50:42. | :50:45. | |
like to take it home with me. I never ask for a doggy bag | :50:46. | :50:48. | |
because look at my plate, In Scotland it could soon be | :50:49. | :50:51. | |
the norm with plans to introduce doggy bags to all restaurants | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
as part of a plan to cut food waste. Excuse me, sir, would you like that | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
wrapped in a doggy bag? Well, a lot of restaurants | :51:01. | :51:03. | |
offer doggy bags already, What Good to Go does is that | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
extra bit of promotion, so you're actively | :51:10. | :51:12. | |
offering a doggy bag. We did a pilot and pleased to say | :51:13. | :51:14. | |
it was really positive and something that restaurants told us | :51:15. | :51:17. | |
they wanted, and customers too Across the UK food waste costs | :51:18. | :51:20. | |
the restaurant sector more than ?600 million a year, with eateries | :51:21. | :51:24. | |
producing nearly 200,000 tons. More than a third of that | :51:25. | :51:27. | |
waste comes straight Campaigners here say if restaurants | :51:28. | :51:29. | |
routinely offered doggy bags it would save the equivalent of 800,000 | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
meals going in the bin every year. I do think that it's our | :51:36. | :51:42. | |
responsibility to make sure people are aware of the fact it's | :51:43. | :51:45. | |
OK to take food home, it's OK to reheat it | :51:46. | :51:48. | |
and it is fit for purpose. We're talking about a world that | :51:49. | :51:51. | |
has a food crisis in it So people taking food home, | :51:52. | :51:54. | |
we're just giving them that opportunity and actually intervening | :51:55. | :51:59. | |
rather than waiting for them to ask Doggy bags are common practice | :52:00. | :52:01. | |
in the US and even in France restaurants are now legally | :52:02. | :52:07. | |
obliged now to provide one But here in the UK, | :52:08. | :52:09. | |
old habits die hard. As a nation we don't | :52:10. | :52:17. | |
like to make a fuss, but with ambitious targets to cut | :52:18. | :52:19. | |
food waste by 20% within the next ten years, maybe it's time to start | :52:20. | :52:22. | |
thinking inside the box. Right, it's that time again - | :52:23. | :52:25. | |
we're giving you advance Do not say we did not warn you. Just | :52:26. | :52:53. | |
to be clear. This is your ad fans notice. -- ad fans. | :52:54. | :52:59. | |
was finally unmasked last night in the dramatic finale | :53:00. | :53:02. | |
The BBC One drama has had us hooked for weeks, | :53:03. | :53:06. | |
and it didn't disappoint as fans took to social media to show | :53:07. | :53:09. | |
Here's a scene from last night's episode. | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
DCI Roz Huntley's husband is facing some tough questions by police. | :53:13. | :53:20. | |
I don't know! How would you describe your emotional state that evening? | :53:21. | :53:29. | |
Were you in a frame of mind to control your wife's behaviour? She | :53:30. | :53:35. | |
was the one that went to the flat. There are no witnesses to your wife | :53:36. | :53:40. | |
entering the flat, no CCTV, no traffic cameras... She left her | :53:41. | :53:45. | |
mobile at home. So did you. I was in a rush, I forgot it. This fellow, | :53:46. | :53:51. | |
Timothy, who may or may not have been having sex with your wife, what | :53:52. | :53:56. | |
did you plan to do? Nothing, why would I plan to kill him? How could | :53:57. | :54:01. | |
I. We will look at three things opportunity. You were there. Means. | :54:02. | :54:09. | |
Motive. You believed he was having an affair with your wife. She is | :54:10. | :54:15. | |
trying to frame me. So good! If you haven't seen it, you have such a | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
treat in store. We are joined... We're joined now by Maya Sondhi | :54:19. | :54:20. | |
whose character WPC Maneet Bindra left viewers shocked | :54:21. | :54:23. | |
after she seemingly You of all people! It's not my | :54:24. | :54:37. | |
fault. It was you! It was a big shock to me too. I was reading it | :54:38. | :54:41. | |
and I was walking through an airport because it's so exciting when you | :54:42. | :54:45. | |
get the script and I was reading it, really, really small and have I just | :54:46. | :54:51. | |
read that right, I was thinking. And I thought, no! I was a bit gutted. | :54:52. | :54:58. | |
The relationship that you had with a CC Hilton is left up in the air, we | :54:59. | :55:02. | |
don't really know what happened and what your role was and why you were | :55:03. | :55:06. | |
there and involved are not. And I don't either! The big finale last | :55:07. | :55:11. | |
night, did you watch it. What did you make of it? I loved it, I hadn't | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
seen it, I knew what was going to happen because I read the script but | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
when you are filming it, you fill your bit, you haven't seen the rest | :55:21. | :55:23. | |
of it, when it's put together it's so exciting. To see it live like | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
everyone else. Events TV. What did you think? We loved it. We were | :55:29. | :55:34. | |
discussing this morning about whether it lives up to the previous | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
series. I think Ben was expect the massive should add that we had at | :55:39. | :55:43. | |
the end of series three but iPod but was crazy and I like the fact it was | :55:44. | :55:46. | |
a little bit more contained this time. We still have to get up early | :55:47. | :55:52. | |
to do this and I was lying in bed completely unable to sleep. A great | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
story, you were pregnant in the series, you were actually pregnant | :55:57. | :56:02. | |
and you'd said to them, I was lovely, I was asked back for a | :56:03. | :56:06. | |
series four, I was thrilled, but then I was really worried because I | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
was pregnant and so I text to Jed mercurial who writes and created the | :56:11. | :56:17. | |
show and I said I'd love to come back but I'm pregnant, I don't know | :56:18. | :56:22. | |
what to do. And he said, it's brilliant, it totally goes with your | :56:23. | :56:25. | |
character, we invited in. Let's look at the bit you left, this was your | :56:26. | :56:28. | |
departure, temporarily... I feel drained, served. It's not | :56:29. | :56:50. | |
long until the start of my maternity leave. I see. Things are beginning | :56:51. | :56:58. | |
to get on top of me. And the timing couldn't be worse. I really need all | :56:59. | :57:03. | |
my best people, you know? The last thing I want to do is let you in the | :57:04. | :57:07. | |
department down. This is what's so wonderful comic you are watching up, | :57:08. | :57:11. | |
watching what's going on, why is she leaving and it starts to become | :57:12. | :57:14. | |
clear but so many unanswered questions. It's a brilliant ensemble | :57:15. | :57:18. | |
piece in television, what's it like working with the cows? Are wonderful | :57:19. | :57:22. | |
and I genuinely can't say this, when I started on the third series I was | :57:23. | :57:26. | |
terrified because it's such an intense drama and you think is | :57:27. | :57:30. | |
everyone going to be serious, take themselves too seriously? You go and | :57:31. | :57:34. | |
Vicki and Morton and Adrian and Craig from series three they went | :57:35. | :57:38. | |
like that... They are like a massive family and they are so good at what | :57:39. | :57:43. | |
they do so generous. And Sandy Newton who a new layer. I thought | :57:44. | :57:49. | |
Daniel Mays was incredible and then I thought... We were so conflict | :57:50. | :57:56. | |
did, did we like, didn't we? This series was particularly female | :57:57. | :57:59. | |
heavy, really strong women earning the show and I think that's, Jed | :58:00. | :58:07. | |
writes women fantastically. You talk about it being events TV and also | :58:08. | :58:09. | |
for the first time, people doing it on social media as well, do you look | :58:10. | :58:16. | |
at that reaction, you are watching and you think... After episode four | :58:17. | :58:20. | |
Twitter went into meltdown, people were so upset, I didn't realise how | :58:21. | :58:26. | |
much people reacted. I felt really disappointed in myself, actually! | :58:27. | :58:32. | |
There is another series. There is. The end of this year, maybe next, | :58:33. | :58:36. | |
Jed is so busy. I think he's got another show to write. And you are | :58:37. | :58:41. | |
not going to reveal anything about capital H and who it is... I don't | :58:42. | :58:46. | |
know, I couldn't honestly tell you. You left us up in the air but we | :58:47. | :58:50. | |
have loved it. Thank you so much. Good to see you. Remember, all of | :58:51. | :58:54. | |
the episodes of the season are on Dan and Louise will be | :58:55. | :58:55. | |
here from 6am tomorrow morning. We asked you to tell us | :58:56. | :59:04. | |
what's left you feeling totally ripped off and you | :59:05. | :59:07. | |
contacted us in your thousands. You've told us about the companies | :59:08. | :59:10. | |
that you think get it wrong, | :59:11. | :59:14. |
