:00:00. > :00:11.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:12. > :00:14.A war of words over Britain's approach to Brexit negotiations.

:00:15. > :00:16.Senior EU sources accuse the Government of being

:00:17. > :00:18.on a completely different wavelength, and warn talks

:00:19. > :00:45.Also this morning: Shot dead by an intruder in his own home.

:00:46. > :00:48.Police in Dorset are still looking for two suspects in connection

:00:49. > :00:49.with the death of businessman Guy Hedger.

:00:50. > :00:55.A surfer is rescued after more than 30 hours missing at sea.

:00:56. > :00:58.The coastguard say he is lucky to be alive.

:00:59. > :01:00.A leading business group says the next government needs

:01:01. > :01:04.to have a clear idea of how to grow the economy by improving

:01:05. > :01:05.competitiveness and upgrading our infrastructure.

:01:06. > :01:08.I will be talking to the British Chambers of Commerce

:01:09. > :01:26.The sound of spring, but for how much longer? We join the Dawn patrol

:01:27. > :01:26.as they go in search of the Nightingale.

:01:27. > :01:28.In sport: A third Crucible crown for Mark Selby.

:01:29. > :01:32.He fights back to beat John Higgins and become only the fourth man

:01:33. > :01:34.in the modern era to successfully defend a world title.

:01:35. > :01:44.Good morning. Again today we are looking at a fair bit of cloud

:01:45. > :01:48.coming in across the east of the UK, accompanied a noticeable breeze.

:01:49. > :01:52.There will be a few showers, but for many of us it will be dry. There

:01:53. > :01:56.will be some sunny spells, the lion's share of which will be again

:01:57. > :02:00.across the north-west of the UK. I will have more details 15 minutes.

:02:01. > :02:02.-- in 15 minutes. First, our main story: There has

:02:03. > :02:07.been further fallout from last week's talks on Brexit

:02:08. > :02:08.between Theresa May and European Commission President

:02:09. > :02:10.Jean-Claude Juncker. Senior EU sources have told the BBC

:02:11. > :02:13.that the UK Government is on a completely

:02:14. > :02:15.different wavelength. They have also accused it

:02:16. > :02:18.of being ignorant of how Brussels works, and misunderstanding

:02:19. > :02:20.the fundamentals of Brexit Theresa May has already dismissed

:02:21. > :02:25.reports of a disagreement with EU Our political correspondent

:02:26. > :02:28.Chris Mason is in Westminster. Chris, this appears to be trouble,

:02:29. > :02:40.even before talks have begun. There are our talks about the talks.

:02:41. > :02:44.There was a dinner party in Downing Street last week at which

:02:45. > :02:49.Jean-Claude Juncker, the head of the European Commission, the EU's

:02:50. > :02:53.executive, was invited over by Theresa May. Now I'm sure you are

:02:54. > :02:56.the model of discretion after a dinner party and would not utter a

:02:57. > :03:00.word of complaint about a dodgy creme brulee but what we have about

:03:01. > :03:04.this dinner party is an extraordinary series day after day

:03:05. > :03:07.of briefings from the European Commission about what they thought

:03:08. > :03:13.went on at the meeting, and how depressed they were at the gap

:03:14. > :03:16.between their outlook on these negotiations and Theresa May's.

:03:17. > :03:20.Suggesting that she was from a different galaxy, on a different

:03:21. > :03:24.wavelength, didn't understand their bottom lines about what they would

:03:25. > :03:28.be unwilling to negotiate on, issues including EU nationals in the UK, UK

:03:29. > :03:33.nationals elsewhere in the EU, the divorce settlement will the UK may

:03:34. > :03:37.have to pay, the trade talks which will follow on in what order they

:03:38. > :03:41.will happen in. So in a real sense, before the whole thing even get

:03:42. > :03:47.started, there is quite a bit of bad blood and a big gap between the two

:03:48. > :03:50.sides. And let's talk about the campaign trail as well. Labour today

:03:51. > :03:56.are talking about more police officers, aren't they? Yes, so the

:03:57. > :04:00.campaign trundles on in the domestic sense as you would expect it to do,

:04:01. > :04:04.with promises from the various parties, Labour saying they would

:04:05. > :04:08.have an extra 10,000 police officers in England and Wales, paid for by

:04:09. > :04:12.reversing cuts in capital gains tax that the government has pressed

:04:13. > :04:19.ahead with. Here is the Shadow Home Secretary. What local police forces

:04:20. > :04:23.have cried out for is more manpower in the Metropolitan police forces.

:04:24. > :04:28.They have cut police numbers, they have cut civilian staff, and in

:04:29. > :04:32.practice that means there are fewer actual policeman available. I think

:04:33. > :04:36.police forces will be very grateful for this added police manpower, and

:04:37. > :04:41.it is going to be community policing. The Conservatives, though,

:04:42. > :04:45.in their response say that Labour's plant is nonsensical, and suggest

:04:46. > :04:50.that Labour have tried to spend the money from reversing that tax cut

:04:51. > :04:55.already. Thank you very much indeed, we will be speaking with you

:04:56. > :04:56.throughout the morning. Later we will be speaking

:04:57. > :04:58.to the Home Secretary, Police are continuing to search

:04:59. > :05:04.for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his

:05:05. > :05:06.home in the early hours 61-year-old Guy Hedger was killed

:05:07. > :05:12.by intruders in the village Our correspondent Simon

:05:13. > :05:15.Clemison is at the scene. Simon, what more are

:05:16. > :05:27.the police saying? Very good morning to you. Well, they

:05:28. > :05:32.have been talking very much about what motivated this, they believe.

:05:33. > :05:36.We are in a very wealthy area on the edge of the new Forest, in a

:05:37. > :05:41.village, as you can see, with lots of very big and expensive houses set

:05:42. > :05:45.out from the road. So why this one in particular? It is very early

:05:46. > :05:48.stages in the police investigation, but they do believe the fact that

:05:49. > :05:54.jewellery and designer watches were taken means that Guy Hedger's house

:05:55. > :05:58.was targeted specifically. There was some element of planning in this.

:05:59. > :06:02.The intruders seemed ready to confront someone. They wore

:06:03. > :06:07.balaclavas, they clearly carried a shotgun, so police are working on

:06:08. > :06:10.the theory that this was a burglary which turned violent, but it could

:06:11. > :06:14.be some days of searching the scene here before they really know all the

:06:15. > :06:19.details. We believe that Guy Hedger formed a civil partnership 12 years

:06:20. > :06:24.ago. There was a man, another man in the house at the time. He is said to

:06:25. > :06:30.have seen what happened, the very traumatised by it. Police not

:06:31. > :06:35.confirming his identity yet, but he is a witness to it. The weapon has

:06:36. > :06:39.still to be recovered. So lots of lines for the police to follow up

:06:40. > :06:45.this morning, and in the coming days, in what is described as a very

:06:46. > :06:47.intensive investigation. Thank you very much, we will speak to you a

:06:48. > :06:48.little bit later on. A surfer who went missing off

:06:49. > :06:51.the Scottish coast has been rescued after more than 30 hours

:06:52. > :06:54.clinging to his board. Matthew Bryce was reported missing

:06:55. > :06:57.by his family when he didn't return from a surfing trip in Argyll

:06:58. > :06:59.on Sunday afternoon. He was eventually picked up 13

:07:00. > :07:02.miles off the coast, still conscious but suffering

:07:03. > :07:08.from hypothermia. Just after 6:30am we will be getting

:07:09. > :07:11.the latest from the Coastguard, which helped co-ordinate

:07:12. > :07:22.the rescue operation. You would never think, after that

:07:23. > :07:26.long in the water, that he could survive. I think a wetsuit, and lots

:07:27. > :07:27.of other things he did to keep himself going as well.

:07:28. > :07:31.US President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet

:07:32. > :07:33.North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in the right circumstances.

:07:34. > :07:36.Mr Trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding

:07:37. > :07:39.The White House later said such talks were unlikely

:07:40. > :07:42.Lending by family and friends to help fund property purchases

:07:43. > :07:46.will exceed ?6.5 billion this year, 30% more than last year,

:07:47. > :07:50.Legal General, which compiled the figures, said the so-called bank

:07:51. > :07:53.of mum and dad was now equivalent to the ninth-biggest mortgage lender

:07:54. > :08:03.George Osborne starts his new job as editor of the London newspaper

:08:04. > :08:06.The former Chancellor was a surprise appointment,

:08:07. > :08:09.with some criticising his lack of journalistic experience.

:08:10. > :08:11.Mr Osborne stepped down last month as Conservative MP

:08:12. > :08:31.Apparently the party of the year took place last night.

:08:32. > :08:34.A host of celebrities turned out in their finest for what has been

:08:35. > :08:37.described as the party of the year, the Met Gala.

:08:38. > :08:40.The annual charity ball is held at New York's Metropolitan Museum

:08:41. > :08:43.of Art, to raise money for the museum's fashion department.

:08:44. > :08:45.It is an exclusive event, with tickets costing tens

:08:46. > :08:47.of thousands of dollars, and a flamboyant dress code.

:08:48. > :08:56.It is the hottest invite on New York's social calendar, and the

:08:57. > :09:01.biggest night in fashion, which draws out only the stars. Stepping

:09:02. > :09:06.onto the Met Gala red carpet is to enter a runway, but one with a very

:09:07. > :09:10.specific theme. This year, the Met costume Institute is honouring a

:09:11. > :09:14.Japanese designer who famously blurs the line between fashion and

:09:15. > :09:19.artwork. She isn't so much out of the box, with her, the risk no box.

:09:20. > :09:23.And she did that so early on. When she started, you would never believe

:09:24. > :09:28.fashion could be as influential and as powerful as music. Well, it is.

:09:29. > :09:33.You know, a lot of people saying how do you wear that? You don't wear

:09:34. > :09:38.those clothes. The clothes where you. Sleeves need not apply, and

:09:39. > :09:45.these are a few of her signatures. And the bravest dress the part. The

:09:46. > :09:50.Met all is not the place to play it safe and that unspoken rule,

:09:51. > :09:52.combined with this unconventional design's contribution, has led to a

:09:53. > :09:57.night of unique looks. As you said, I think some of the

:09:58. > :10:07.clothes where you. -- wear you. Apple, Blue Ivy, Saint -

:10:08. > :10:10.the entertainment world has given us some interesting baby

:10:11. > :10:12.names over the years, and it seems new parents Cheryl

:10:13. > :10:15.and Liam Payne are the latest to look for something

:10:16. > :10:17.out of the ordinary Some of this morning's newspapers

:10:18. > :10:21.are reporting that the couple have According to the newspaper,

:10:22. > :10:25.the pop stars spent a week with the baby before

:10:26. > :10:27.deciding on the name. But Cheryl and Liam may not have

:10:28. > :10:31.picked such an unusual name, after all, as actresses Kate Winslet

:10:32. > :10:47.and Alicia Silverstone both have There is a famous Bear, the famous

:10:48. > :10:53.Mr Grylls. Maybe they like a bit of out and about living. And we will

:10:54. > :10:59.have the weather from Carol shortly. A wonderful weekend of sport, wasn't

:11:00. > :11:04.it? We had boxing, all the football going on. All the football, Chelsea

:11:05. > :11:10.and Tottenham. A lot of the football was a bit dull, but snooker

:11:11. > :11:13.yesterday! There was an article yesterday suggesting it was the

:11:14. > :11:18.dullest day of an elite football ever. They did some analysis and

:11:19. > :11:26.said it was mildly beaten by one day in 2016. Topped off with a

:11:27. > :11:28.remarkable win by Mark Selby. Brilliant stuff, and what a dramatic

:11:29. > :11:28.comeback. Mark Selby is the snooker world

:11:29. > :11:31.champion for a third time. The world number one came back

:11:32. > :11:34.from 10-4 down to beat He becomes only the fourth man

:11:35. > :11:39.in the modern era to successfully One of the goals of the season

:11:40. > :11:45.from Emre Can helps Liverpool's chances of reaching

:11:46. > :11:46.the Champions League. This stunning strike was enough

:11:47. > :11:51.to beat Watford last night. Real Madrid play city rivals

:11:52. > :11:53.Atletico in the Champions League It is a repeat of last year's final,

:11:54. > :12:00.which Real won on penalties. And good news for England cricket

:12:01. > :12:03.fans ahead of next month's Champions On his return from injury,

:12:04. > :12:18.Ben Stokes hit a century So we will be talking about that bit

:12:19. > :12:22.more later on. Some more action from the Indian Premier League at about

:12:23. > :12:29.6:30 a.m.. I will be back with the rest of the day's sports news. Any

:12:30. > :12:37.other date the goal from Emre Can would lead, but Mark Selby's

:12:38. > :12:40.performance put him ahead. We will do the papers in just a moment,

:12:41. > :12:42.after a reminder of the headlines. You are watching

:12:43. > :12:44.Breakfast from BBC News. The main stories this morning:

:12:45. > :12:46.Claims Brexit negotiations have stalled already, as EU sources tell

:12:47. > :12:49.the BBC talks could fail because of the British

:12:50. > :12:53.Government position. The hunt continues for two suspects

:12:54. > :12:57.after the murder of a marketing executive shot in his home

:12:58. > :13:13.on Bank Monday morning. Steph has joined us as well, good

:13:14. > :13:18.morning to you once again. The front cover of the Daily Telegraph has

:13:19. > :13:23.loads of pictures of the Charlotte, taken by her mother, the Duchess of

:13:24. > :13:27.Cambridge, to mark the Princess's second birthday, and most of the

:13:28. > :13:32.papers also going on the main story about the EU plot to block Theresa

:13:33. > :13:37.May's deal on expats and various connotations of the relationship

:13:38. > :13:43.between Britain and the EU. The front page of the Times, again

:13:44. > :13:47.possess Charlotte, and the car finance market could be heading for

:13:48. > :13:51.mis-selling scandal, and they are reporting concerns about reliance on

:13:52. > :13:56.debt to buy vehicles. The Daily Mirror, a completely different

:13:57. > :13:59.story, actually, about Spanish hoteliers which could ban British

:14:00. > :14:05.tourists because apparently there has been a huge rise in bogus food

:14:06. > :14:10.poisoning claims. The front cover of the Daily Mail, again Princess

:14:11. > :14:23.Charlotte, exploited by a cash for eggs IVF clinics. And the Guardian,

:14:24. > :14:29.they all have different lines about the meeting between Jean-Claude

:14:30. > :14:32.Juncker and Theresa May. We will talk about that later in the

:14:33. > :14:38.programme. We will also talk about personal space shortly. There has

:14:39. > :14:43.been a row this morning about it. What else have you got in your

:14:44. > :14:47.papers? Let me tell you my stories, good morning everybody. I know this

:14:48. > :14:51.is one you are interested in. The bank of mum and dad. This is how

:14:52. > :14:58.much parents help people to get onto the housing ladder and there are new

:14:59. > :15:04.stats from Legal and General. They are saying the scale of lending

:15:05. > :15:08.helps fund 26% of all UK property transactions, which actually puts it

:15:09. > :15:13.on par with the Yorkshire building society, so if it were a bank, it

:15:14. > :15:19.would make it the ninth biggest residential lender in the UK. And it

:15:20. > :15:23.is a whacking amount of money, ?6.5 billion has been handed out to

:15:24. > :15:28.children to help them buy a house, it has gone up 30% in the last year.

:15:29. > :15:33.The most mum and dad 's land interest-free? That is a good

:15:34. > :15:38.question, they shouldn't, but... There is a difference, isn't that?

:15:39. > :15:42.Pay it back over 50 years. It is interesting how much they have to

:15:43. > :15:46.help people get into the bottom rung of the latter, it is so expensive to

:15:47. > :15:53.buy your first house. And that sort of cash makes a difference.

:15:54. > :16:02.Those in charge of athletics suggest old world and European records

:16:03. > :16:14.before 2005 should be wiped clean because they have been keeping your

:16:15. > :16:17.end samples -- urine samples but there were none before 2005. So

:16:18. > :16:24.those include Paula Radcliffe and others. We need to wipe the slate

:16:25. > :16:28.clean because we cannot be sure that any record set before 2005 has not

:16:29. > :16:36.been helped by performance enhancing drugs. Oh. We should start again.

:16:37. > :16:42.Paula Radcliffe said this is just another way clean athletes are being

:16:43. > :16:46.punished by cheaters. And Daniel Edwards said he knew his record

:16:47. > :16:50.would go, but he did not think it would go this way. The Times, the

:16:51. > :16:55.writer, says this needs to happen, because we need more trust, we need

:16:56. > :17:03.to wipe the slate clean and start again. Personal space. How far away

:17:04. > :17:06.do we like to be in Britain? Apparently one metre between

:17:07. > :17:23.strangers. 50 centimetres foreclose people, 80 for acquaintances. What

:17:24. > :17:34.about us? I don't think we are too close. On average, this is how far

:17:35. > :17:46.away we like to be. Here? Right? Any closer and I would be having a

:17:47. > :17:59.meltdown. You don't like people up in your space? You are right up

:18:00. > :18:04.there. Back off! 21 centimetres! Is that all we are allowed? There is no

:18:05. > :18:12.space, is there? We need a bigger camera. Where is Carol? She is over

:18:13. > :18:17.there somewhere. Good morning. I am hundreds of miles away. What does

:18:18. > :18:25.that say a chilly start to the day. A touch of frost around. Fog as

:18:26. > :18:29.well. For most, it will be dry and bright in the morning. Once again

:18:30. > :18:35.today, the lion's share of the sunshine like yesterday will be in

:18:36. > :18:38.the north-west of the UK. With this onshore flow, we will get cloud in

:18:39. > :18:44.eastern areas. The breeze on the coast will feel nippy if you are

:18:45. > :18:50.calling for a stroll later on. Inland, a lot of dry weather. --

:18:51. > :18:55.going for us. A few more showers developing in eastern areas. Some

:18:56. > :19:01.sunshine in the south-west. 15 degrees in Plymouth. The south-east,

:19:02. > :19:05.East Anglia, the Midlands, Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, showers.

:19:06. > :19:16.Wales, north-west England, Northern Ireland, much of Scotland again,

:19:17. > :19:19.away from the east, a fine day and afternoon in prospect. Staying dry

:19:20. > :19:24.and temperatures hitting up. Not necessarily reaching 20 degrees.

:19:25. > :19:28.Some of the showers go towards east Wales and the south-west of England.

:19:29. > :19:34.They will tend to fade. The low countries will bring more rain. A

:19:35. > :19:40.lot of dry weather around tonight. Under clearer skies where it has

:19:41. > :19:44.been warm by day, it will be cold at night just like yesterday in the

:19:45. > :19:52.night just gone. Showers in the south-east. More cloud. Still, this

:19:53. > :19:56.breeze. West and north, the lion's share of the sunshine. You can see

:19:57. > :20:02.cloud building in the afternoon. Temperatures roughly 15 in the

:20:03. > :20:05.north. 11- 13 as we go towards the south-east. Continuing with the

:20:06. > :20:09.forecast as we head on through Thursday and the rest of the week,

:20:10. > :20:13.if it is a lot of rain you are looking for, you will be

:20:14. > :20:17.disappointed. We don't have much in the forecast. There is still an

:20:18. > :20:23.easterly breeze going around the area of high pressure. If you are

:20:24. > :20:27.exposed to it, still quite nippy. Some cloud thick enough for the odd

:20:28. > :20:35.shower here and there. A lot of dry weather, especially in the north and

:20:36. > :20:39.west. No substantial rain in the forecast right the way up until

:20:40. > :20:42.Sunday at least. Taking a look at Friday, again, some breeze. A lot of

:20:43. > :20:47.dry weather. The odd shower. Nothing much more than that. Towards the

:20:48. > :20:53.west again, sunny skies. Temperatures, 13-14. A little bit

:20:54. > :20:56.higher further south. A 16 in London. Back to you. Thank you very

:20:57. > :21:01.much. Standing in the middle

:21:02. > :21:04.of the North Sea, the Brent Field has been a cornerstone of the UK's

:21:05. > :21:07.oil and gas production Now, one of the field's four iconic

:21:08. > :21:11.platforms has been decommissioned. Breakfast's John Maguire is live

:21:12. > :21:25.at its final resting place, What a day. Good morning. An amazing

:21:26. > :21:31.day and view. A bit chilly. That is not the rig. We wanted to show you

:21:32. > :21:37.it because we wanted to give you an idea of the scale. That is 14,000

:21:38. > :21:44.times. Brent Delta, 24,000. 50% bigger. It will come in on the high

:21:45. > :21:49.tide tonight brought in by a huge barge called the Iron Lady which

:21:50. > :21:52.will turn 19 degrees and sail up the water here to arrive at the new

:21:53. > :22:01.piece of concrete, the new quay being built specifically to handle

:22:02. > :22:03.the salvage and death of Brent Delta. An extraordinary few days of

:22:04. > :22:15.engineering. So far, so good. A decade in the planning, but just

:22:16. > :22:22.seconds in the execution, as the topside, as it is known, is lifted

:22:23. > :22:27.off Brent Delta, and onto the world's largest constructions ship.

:22:28. > :22:35.It was built exactly for mammoth tasks like this. 380 metres long and

:22:36. > :22:42.124 metres wide across two hulls, it is the size of an Olympic's worth of

:22:43. > :22:49.pitches and buses. The captain of the ship says his is a dream job, as

:22:50. > :22:53.I spoke to him. It is one of the dreams to be the captain of a ship

:22:54. > :23:00.like this. This is as big as you can get. The Brent Field, more than 100

:23:01. > :23:04.miles east of the Shetlands, has been producing oil since the 1970s.

:23:05. > :23:10.During its peak, Hussey million barrels a day. Now, the oilfield is

:23:11. > :23:14.coming to the end of its economic life, and these monoliths are being

:23:15. > :23:22.decommissioned. Itself, a massive job. The North Sea in particular is

:23:23. > :23:30.a very harsh environment. They are very large integrated platforms. It

:23:31. > :23:35.would be different to the Southern North Sea and shallow basins around

:23:36. > :23:38.the world. They are heavier and more difficult to decommission. It is a

:23:39. > :23:44.process that will be worth at least ?40 billion in the years ahead, but

:23:45. > :23:49.it is not without challenges. Shell, which operates the oilfield, says it

:23:50. > :23:58.learned lessons from the furore from the scrapping of the storage

:23:59. > :24:01.facility in the 1990s. Delta's three concrete legs will remain in place

:24:02. > :24:06.because it is too dangerous and expensive to remove them. We will

:24:07. > :24:13.see 100 decommissioned in the coming years as these giants, once so vital

:24:14. > :24:16.to the Brent Field, are brought ashore to die.

:24:17. > :24:25.The estimate is they will recycle 98.5% of the topside, which seems

:24:26. > :24:33.extraordinary. But that is what they specialise in here at Able Seaton

:24:34. > :24:37.Port. Duncan, how would you characterise what has been achieved

:24:38. > :24:41.in the past few days? It is the culmination of five years of

:24:42. > :24:51.planning and preparation to lift the Brent Delta and transport it on the

:24:52. > :24:57.Pioneering Spirit to load it on the Iron Lady barge to conduct the

:24:58. > :25:02.decommissioning in Able Seaton Port. ? That happened at 3am this morning.

:25:03. > :25:06.We assume it went well. Many people can see the platform off the coast.

:25:07. > :25:12.But the legs will stay in position in the North Sea. Is that a good

:25:13. > :25:17.idea? That is the plan. After ten years of study, looking at the

:25:18. > :25:22.various engineering options to take these away, to put it into context,

:25:23. > :25:29.while the Brent Delta topside is 24,000 tons, these legs are almost

:25:30. > :25:36.300,000 tons. Enormous structures. We looked at the options to refloat

:25:37. > :25:42.and remove them, but the costs is absolutely enormous. We feel that

:25:43. > :25:46.leaving them there is the right thing to do. Three other platforms.

:25:47. > :25:52.One is still producing. Charlie. That is right. You plan to

:25:53. > :25:56.decommission those. Where are we with the plans to do that? All of

:25:57. > :26:01.this is strictly and tightly controlled, of course. We have seen

:26:02. > :26:06.a robust scheme in the UK We have just had a 60 day public

:26:07. > :26:10.consultation. We are in the process of taking those comments on board

:26:11. > :26:15.from stakeholders and members of the public to have had the opportunity

:26:16. > :26:21.to look at this. We have responded to comments. After that, the next

:26:22. > :26:25.phase. Replying to the Oslo Paris Convention in which we are

:26:26. > :26:30.signatories to look at if we can leave those legs in place. When

:26:31. > :26:37.we'll all four Egon? This is a multi-year operation. Brent Charlie

:26:38. > :26:43.will continue to produce for a few years. The other is offshore. With

:26:44. > :26:47.Brent Delta, and we are not forgetting that Brent Alpha is in a

:26:48. > :26:56.phase of isolating it from the surface. We will prepare Brent Bravo

:26:57. > :26:59.for lifting. After that, we are not forgetting that there are offshore

:27:00. > :27:05.operations conducting right now on all other three platforms. Thank you

:27:06. > :27:09.very much indeed. There is still a lot of work and money to be spent in

:27:10. > :27:14.the years ahead. Before we go back, we had a couple of little seals that

:27:15. > :27:19.came to visit us this morning. A nice sight. But in terms of man-made

:27:20. > :27:24.engineering, it has been a good site for the people in Hartlepool, and

:27:25. > :27:28.will continue to be so for the rest of the day, and it sounds like it

:27:29. > :27:30.will be so for months and years to come. What a beautiful day to be out

:27:31. > :27:39.and about. Live seals! You Still to come this morning: Festival

:27:40. > :28:01.season is fast approaching, We've been out with the folk singers

:28:02. > :28:05.who hold woodland concerts with Britain's most celebrated songbird,

:28:06. > :28:11.the nightingale. That sounds absolutely amazing. They sing with

:28:12. > :31:37.them? He you know that song, Nightingale? -- Do you know.

:31:38. > :31:40.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

:31:41. > :31:44.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:31:45. > :31:46.Now, though, it's back to BBC Breakfast.

:31:47. > :31:50.Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:31:51. > :31:55.We will bring you all the latest news and sport in a moment.

:31:56. > :31:58.But also on Breakfast this morning: With two thirds of adults in England

:31:59. > :32:01.now overweight or obese, we will be asking the boss

:32:02. > :32:04.of Britain's biggest food retailer if supermarkets should be doing more

:32:05. > :32:09.He claims the average UK household will be ?500 worse off this

:32:10. > :32:16.We will be asking former deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg to back

:32:17. > :32:19.up his Brexit figures in about an hour's time.

:32:20. > :32:23.And she always has a smile for the public, but a new biopic

:32:24. > :32:31.explores a more melancholy side to Barbara Windsor's life.

:32:32. > :32:34.We will speak to one of the actresses who play her before

:32:35. > :32:40.But now a summary of this morning's main news:

:32:41. > :32:43.There has been further fallout from last week's talks on Brexit

:32:44. > :32:45.between Theresa May and European Commission President Jean-Claude

:32:46. > :32:49.Senior EU sources have told the BBC that the UK Government

:32:50. > :32:50.is on a completely different wavelength.

:32:51. > :32:53.They have also accused it of being ignorant of how Brussels

:32:54. > :32:55.works, and misunderstanding the fundamentals of Brexit

:32:56. > :32:59.Theresa May has already dismissed reports of a disagreement with EU

:33:00. > :33:09.Our political correspondent Chris Mason is in Westminster.

:33:10. > :33:16.Good morning to you. So the pre- talks about talks that will happen

:33:17. > :33:21.at some stage. There is a lot of talking going on. There is a lot of

:33:22. > :33:24.talking going on. I know you are a keen student of commentaries of a

:33:25. > :33:29.sporting kind, well these are commentaries of a political kind in

:33:30. > :33:33.the curious thing is we were told by Downing Street ever since Theresa

:33:34. > :33:36.May has been Prime Minister that there wouldn't be a running

:33:37. > :33:38.commentary on Brexit. Well, we needn't have worried because there

:33:39. > :33:42.is certainly a running commentary coming from Brussels on Brexit.

:33:43. > :33:46.Jean-Claude Juncker came to Downing Street for that dinner party with

:33:47. > :33:49.Theresa May last week and ever since there have been accounts tumbling

:33:50. > :33:52.out of the mouths of sources in Brussels giving their side of the

:33:53. > :33:55.story about that dinner party, and suggesting, frankly, that Downing

:33:56. > :34:00.Street and Brussels are 1 million miles apart in terms of their

:34:01. > :34:04.outlook on these forthcoming negotiations. Worth emphasising,

:34:05. > :34:08.yes, this is a partial account from one side. Downing Street claims the

:34:09. > :34:12.meeting was constructive, and there is a huge amount at stake at the

:34:13. > :34:16.moment for both sides to try and get a deal and with big elections in the

:34:17. > :34:21.European Union, in Germany, in front and of course here in the UK. And

:34:22. > :34:25.quite a bit of electioneering going on as well. We will be speaking to

:34:26. > :34:32.Nick Clegg, Amber Road and Diane Abbott, and Labour promising more

:34:33. > :34:36.money for police officers -- Amber Rudd. Diane Abbott will be talking

:34:37. > :34:40.about an extra 10,000 police officers in England and Wales if

:34:41. > :34:43.Labour were to be in government after the general election. They

:34:44. > :34:46.point to the fact that police officer numbers have tumbled in

:34:47. > :34:50.recent years and they think that they could pay for this by reversing

:34:51. > :34:55.a cut in capital gains tax that the Conservatives have pushed through in

:34:56. > :34:58.the last couple of years. The Conservatives say that Labour are

:34:59. > :35:02.trying to spend money twice, having suggested in the past that they

:35:03. > :35:06.would use the money generated by tweaking that tax to spend on other

:35:07. > :35:13.stuff, and you can only spend every pound ones. Nick Clegg, as you say

:35:14. > :35:18.you will be talking to him later on Breakfast. He will be suggesting

:35:19. > :35:23.that a so-called hard Brexit, coming out of the single market and the

:35:24. > :35:27.customs union, will be hard for hard-working families. As for the

:35:28. > :35:31.Prime Minister, she heads to the south-west of England today and will

:35:32. > :35:35.be having a pop at the Liberal Democrats. Quite a few seats in the

:35:36. > :35:38.south-west used to be held by the Lib Dems and were snatched by the

:35:39. > :35:43.Tories in 2015. Theresa May rather keen to ensure that that doesn't

:35:44. > :35:47.happen in reverse next month. Thank you, for the moment. Another heavy

:35:48. > :35:58.day of campaigning ahead. And we will be speaking to Nick Clegg about

:35:59. > :36:02.8:10 a.m.. Actually, 7:40 a.m., I should read my sheet!

:36:03. > :36:05.Police are continuing to search for two suspects after a man

:36:06. > :36:08.was shot dead in his home in the early hours

:36:09. > :36:11.61-year-old Guy Hedger was killed by intruders in the village

:36:12. > :36:15.Detectives say it was a targeted attack.

:36:16. > :36:18.A surfer who went missing off the Scottish coast has been rescued

:36:19. > :36:20.after more than 30 hours clinging to his board.

:36:21. > :36:24.Matthew Bryce was reported missing by his family when he didn't return

:36:25. > :36:26.from a surfing trip in Argyll on Sunday afternoon.

:36:27. > :36:29.He was eventually picked up 13 miles off the coast,

:36:30. > :36:31.still conscious but suffering from hypothermia.

:36:32. > :36:34.In just a few minutes we will be getting the latest

:36:35. > :36:36.from the coastguard, which helped co-ordinate

:36:37. > :36:43.US President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet

:36:44. > :36:46.North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in the right circumstances.

:36:47. > :36:48.Mr Trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding

:36:49. > :36:51.The White House later said such talks were unlikely

:36:52. > :36:58.Lending by family and friends to help fund property purchases

:36:59. > :37:01.will exceed ?6.5 billion this year, 30% more than last year,

:37:02. > :37:05.Legal General, which compiled the figures, said the so-called bank

:37:06. > :37:09.of mum and dad was now equivalent to the ninth-biggest mortgage lender

:37:10. > :37:20.George Osborne starts his new job as editor of the London newspaper

:37:21. > :37:24.The former chancellor's appointment drew criticism from Opposition MPs,

:37:25. > :37:28.Mr Osborne stepped down as Conservative MP for Tatton,

:37:29. > :37:31.in Cheshire, last month, a seat which is due to be abolished

:37:32. > :37:37.He will edit the paper four days a week.

:37:38. > :37:39.Cats might well have nine lives, but moggy miracle-worker

:37:40. > :37:46.Scott Derben took no chances when he saw a feline in danger.

:37:47. > :37:48.Video footage showing the dock worker coming to the rescue

:37:49. > :37:51.of Felix, the London's Royal Docks office cat, has gone viral

:37:52. > :37:53.after it was posted online over the weekend.

:37:54. > :37:56.Felix was fighting with another cat when she slipped and fell

:37:57. > :38:06.Scott rushed to his rescue, and clambered over the dock

:38:07. > :38:12.Typically, though, Scott got very little appreciation from the cat,

:38:13. > :38:27.That is why you always go dog of a cat, don't you? You know for a fact

:38:28. > :38:32.that if you were in trouble are dog would lie next to you until you are

:38:33. > :38:39.safe. A cat would consider eating you. You know it is true. They are

:38:40. > :38:52.weak, I am hungry, I am having a nibble. There are nice cats. Here is

:38:53. > :39:00.one right here! I am a dog person, despite being called Kat. I'm sure

:39:01. > :39:03.this debate will rage all morning, and there will be all kinds of

:39:04. > :39:09.backlash for you on Twitter from the cat people, they are out to get you.

:39:10. > :39:18.The cat lobby, bring it on. What about snooker? What a final. Sunday

:39:19. > :39:23.he was 10-4 down, no one has come back from that kind of deficit since

:39:24. > :39:29.1985. I was reading up on my historic snooker FAQ 's. John

:39:30. > :39:35.Higgins is granite, and he is referred to as the Torture because

:39:36. > :39:41.he has a stone cold ability to block everything out -- facts.

:39:42. > :39:44.Mark Selby is the world snooker champion for a third time.

:39:45. > :39:47.The world number one beat John Higgins by 18-15.

:39:48. > :39:50.Selby had been trailing 10-4 at one point, but he dominated Monday's

:39:51. > :39:52.play to successfully defend his world title.

:39:53. > :39:55.He becomes only the fourth man in modern era to do so.

:39:56. > :40:03.Very special. I mean, to sort of get over them two wins and be sitting at

:40:04. > :40:08.three world titles out there on my own is unbelievable, really. And

:40:09. > :40:09.like I say, to be only one of four players to defend it is just

:40:10. > :40:11.something I can only dream of. Liverpool's chances of reaching

:40:12. > :40:14.the Champions League have been boosted by one of the goals

:40:15. > :40:17.of the season by Emre Can. The midfielder lit up a pretty

:40:18. > :40:20.uninspiring game with this incredible overhead kick

:40:21. > :40:22.at the end of the first half, which is definitely

:40:23. > :40:24.worth seeing again. Watford rarely threatened,

:40:25. > :40:41.but Sebastian Prodl missed a chance Of course, we couldn't imagine that

:40:42. > :40:47.he would score a bicycle kick, or whatever, as they say. Actually the

:40:48. > :40:51.space on the run, what we did on the training pitch last week, so I am

:40:52. > :40:57.happy with the goal, four Emre to do something like this is really nice,

:40:58. > :40:58.and it is a wonderful, wonderful result for us.

:40:59. > :41:00.Real Madrid play neighbours Atletico in their first leg

:41:01. > :41:03.of the Champions League semi-finals tonight at the Bernabeu.

:41:04. > :41:05.Cristiano Ronaldo and teammates will be without Gareth Bale,

:41:06. > :41:11.The tie is a repeat of last season's final, which Real won on penalties.

:41:12. > :41:14.There is good news for England cricket fans ahead of next month's

:41:15. > :41:17.Champions Trophy, as Ben Stokes hit a century in the Indian Premier

:41:18. > :41:21.Stokes came in with his side, Rising Pune Supergiant,

:41:22. > :41:25.in big trouble, but smashed 100 to take them to victory -

:41:26. > :41:29.all that despite suffering from cramp.

:41:30. > :41:31.The England Test captain didn't fare so well.

:41:32. > :41:34.Joe Root was caught on 21, but his Yorkshire side still beat

:41:35. > :41:36.traditional rivals Lancashire in the One-Day Cup.

:41:37. > :41:42.England spinner Adil Rashid took two wickets.

:41:43. > :41:45.And finally, two footballers who appeared to forget which sport

:41:46. > :41:51.This tackle wouldn't have looked out of place in a rugby match.

:41:52. > :41:53.This happened in the Russian Premier League yesterday,

:41:54. > :41:55.between Tom Tomsk and Zenit St Petersburg.

:41:56. > :42:08.Afterwards, both players only received yellow cards.

:42:09. > :42:18.It is that spear tackle. It is a bit like Stone Cold Steve Austin.

:42:19. > :42:20.Exactly. Brutal. I am going to take a closer look at that in slow

:42:21. > :42:23.motion. Lucky to be alive -

:42:24. > :42:26.that is how Belfast Coastguard have described a surfer who was rescued

:42:27. > :42:29.from the Irish Sea last night, after 30 hours

:42:30. > :42:33.clinging to his board. Matthew Bryce was picked up 13 miles

:42:34. > :42:36.off the Argyll coast, where he had been surfing on Sunday,

:42:37. > :42:39.and flown to hospital, where he is recovering

:42:40. > :42:41.from hypothermia. Dawn Petrie from the Belfast

:42:42. > :42:51.Coastguard is on the line Good morning to you. Thank you very

:42:52. > :42:56.much indeed for joining us. So how amazing is this? He is in the water

:42:57. > :43:00.for 30 hours. Did you think you were going to find him? I know you are

:43:01. > :43:05.looking for him all over the place. Yes, we got the call initially from

:43:06. > :43:10.the police on Monday, at lunchtime, to say he had gone missing on

:43:11. > :43:13.Sunday. So we were a full body four hours behind in the search for him,

:43:14. > :43:17.but we instigated the large-scale search, involving three lifeboats,

:43:18. > :43:23.five coastguard rescue teams, senior coastguard officers, and rescue

:43:24. > :43:27.helicopter from Prestwick, to thoroughly searched the area where

:43:28. > :43:33.we suspect he may have drifted. And his chance chances of survival, how

:43:34. > :43:38.would you describe what he went through and how he was still there,

:43:39. > :43:43.30 hours later? He was very well prepared. He was a very fit

:43:44. > :43:47.gentleman, which aided his survivability. He stayed with the

:43:48. > :43:51.surfboard, which aided in detection, looking for him. He was also,

:43:52. > :43:54.because he was on the surfboard, he wasn't exposed to the water

:43:55. > :43:59.temperature so much and he had the correct wetsuit which kept his oddly

:44:00. > :44:04.temperature warmer than it would have been had he just been in shorts

:44:05. > :44:09.and T-shirt. So he sat on the board, did he, is that what you understand

:44:10. > :44:13.he was doing? Yes, we understand he was out for a surf and tried to get

:44:14. > :44:17.back in again, we believe he suffered some cramps and just wasn't

:44:18. > :44:23.able to paddle against the tide, which then just continually took him

:44:24. > :44:27.away from the shore. So incredible work done by all the emergency

:44:28. > :44:33.services and the coastguard to find him. How was he when you found him?

:44:34. > :44:37.When the helicopter picked him up he was conscious, he was talking to

:44:38. > :44:43.them. He was able to tell them what had happened to him, that he had

:44:44. > :44:47.gone out on the Sunday, although he was suffering from hypothermia. And

:44:48. > :44:52.your advice to people, if ever that should happen, is stay with the

:44:53. > :44:55.board? Be well prepared before you even go out, let someone know where

:44:56. > :44:59.you are going and what time you expect to be back. Take a means of

:45:00. > :45:05.alerting someone with you, whether it be a small flat pack, a hand-held

:45:06. > :45:10.radio, even a mobile phone, so if you do get into difficulties UART

:45:11. > :45:20.able to raise the alarm. Amazing work by the body, thank you so much.

:45:21. > :45:31.I just can't imagine what you are thinking hoping someone will spot

:45:32. > :45:38.you. The weather in a second. First, Hartlepool. A gorgeous morning. Look

:45:39. > :45:50.at the sunrise. We are going to talk about decommissioning and taking

:45:51. > :45:55.apart an oil rig. . Now for the weather. Look at this picture.

:45:56. > :46:01.Yesterday in north-west Scotland and Northern Ireland, the highs

:46:02. > :46:06.temperatures in the land, seeing the warmest days so far. Further south,

:46:14. > :46:18.a bright start. A bit more cloud around. Mixed fortunes. Most of us

:46:19. > :46:25.will have dried and bright weather in the afternoon. A few showers

:46:26. > :46:30.developing. This will continue to go on through the rest of the day. Out

:46:31. > :46:37.towards the west, drier, fine, and blue skies to be had. Through the

:46:38. > :46:45.course of the morning, blue skies. Cloud drifting in from the cold

:46:46. > :46:48.North Sea. The showers. Later in the day, they will get on to east Wales

:46:49. > :46:55.in south-west England. Four o'clock, they will be dry in Wales in the

:46:56. > :47:03.south-west. Thicker cloud in the east. Inland, bright spells. Showers

:47:04. > :47:09.hit and miss. Northern Ireland and much of Scotland, another dry and

:47:10. > :47:17.fine day with a fair bit of sunshine and some cloud at times. Overnight,

:47:18. > :47:22.the showers. Drifting towards west Wales. East Wales. The south coast.

:47:23. > :47:27.They will fade eventually. Another system from the low countries

:47:28. > :47:32.introducing rain. For much of the UK, a dry note. Clear skies. Where

:47:33. > :47:36.it has been warmed by day, the temperature will drop quickly as it

:47:37. > :47:41.gets dark. Tomorrow morning, starting with rain in the

:47:42. > :47:46.south-east. Not too heavy. It will start to break up and turn more

:47:47. > :47:51.showery. After a bright start in south-west England and Wales, the

:47:52. > :47:54.cloud will advance. Scotland and Northern Ireland once again I seen

:47:55. > :48:00.the sunshine for the longest. Temperatures tomorrow are roughly

:48:01. > :48:05.15- 16 degrees here and there. Through the course of the day with

:48:06. > :48:14.temperatures rising, if you are tempted to dip your toes in the sea,

:48:15. > :48:20.it is still quite cold. At best 11 degrees. You would be a brave person

:48:21. > :48:38.than me to do that. Absolutely. But you know me, I like to swim in the

:48:39. > :48:41.cold. You would have to wear a thick wetsuit and stay with your surfboard

:48:42. > :48:44.and take a waterproof mobile phone. We have been talking about

:48:45. > :48:54.campaigning and what various parties are talking about they are wanting

:48:55. > :48:55.in their manifestoes. And our talking about what they want from

:48:56. > :49:05.the next government. The British Chambers of Commerce has

:49:06. > :49:08.around 75,000 members employing five million people, so what it says

:49:09. > :49:11.tends to get the attention The BCC wants the next government

:49:12. > :49:15.to rule out any new business taxes It says the existing ones

:49:16. > :49:19.are already putting a strain Businesses obviously rely on roads,

:49:20. > :49:27.rail and air to move goods So the BCC wants to see

:49:28. > :49:31.more investment in that. It also wants all businesses to have

:49:32. > :49:34.access to superfast broadband. And it wants more

:49:35. > :49:36.help for exporters. Chris Fletcher is from the Greater

:49:37. > :49:45.Manchester Chamber of Commerce. Good morning. Good morning. So, lots

:49:46. > :49:49.of people are saying what they want to see from the next government. How

:49:50. > :49:57.realistic is this, what you want? It is very realistic. This manifesto

:49:58. > :50:01.was put through the whole network, both Chambers of Commerce. We have

:50:02. > :50:07.all played a part in this manifesto for the next government. It is quite

:50:08. > :50:11.interesting. A good number of things actually existed in the 2015

:50:12. > :50:16.manifesto that came out of the last general election. Things we are

:50:17. > :50:20.still waiting to see happen. Some have been around from the election

:50:21. > :50:24.before that as well. We are saying the government that now is the time

:50:25. > :50:28.to stop talking and get on with doing things for business. Now more

:50:29. > :50:33.than ever in these quite uncertain times. What are the pressures? We

:50:34. > :50:37.have seen more spending on infrastructure. We have seen a low

:50:38. > :50:41.corporation tax. What is the pressure you need changed? Those

:50:42. > :50:47.things are going in the right direction. But the danger is that

:50:48. > :50:52.you get to a certain adequate level, making up for decades of under

:50:53. > :50:56.investment. I want to go for more than that. Speaking to our members,

:50:57. > :51:00.they still have difficulty getting onto broadband, mobile phone

:51:01. > :51:04.signals, and that is the future and where we want government to focus

:51:05. > :51:10.on. There has been a huge rise in the last several years over upfront

:51:11. > :51:15.taxes, like increases in business rates, enrolment, and other things

:51:16. > :51:21.like that. Business taxes, not on profits, but running a business.

:51:22. > :51:25.Depending on how profitable you are, businesses are still paying money

:51:26. > :51:28.before they have actually started to make anything and serve any

:51:29. > :51:33.customers. We are saying that enough is enough when it comes to that. All

:51:34. > :51:37.of this costs money, though. Where will that come from? There are

:51:38. > :51:43.obviously many pressures in society, like the NHS and people on student

:51:44. > :51:46.benefits. Why do businesses get it? It is not about being soft on

:51:47. > :51:53.business, but doing things that are. In Greater Manchester, we are having

:51:54. > :52:01.an election on devolving government. We need better use on this in the

:52:02. > :52:06.first instance. It is not about businesses having it easy. There is

:52:07. > :52:11.also evidence that if businesses had more money, if they paid fewer

:52:12. > :52:14.taxes, they actually invest that and employ more people and take

:52:15. > :52:20.advantage of economic conditions. And things, you know, they are

:52:21. > :52:24.uncertain, but they are moving in the right direction. We want other

:52:25. > :52:30.businesses in the UK to grow and expand on that. It ultimately means

:52:31. > :52:33.a better economy for the UK. Interesting. As part of my election

:52:34. > :52:37.table which we will start soon, we will tell the other businesses in

:52:38. > :52:38.the country about this. And that is it for me for now.

:52:39. > :52:40.Nightingales are Britain's most celebrated songbird but are under

:52:41. > :52:44.This year, as they return from migration to the woods

:52:45. > :52:47.and thickets of Southern England, they're being welcomed back

:52:48. > :52:50.As part of the first national Nightingale Festival,

:52:51. > :52:53.folk singers are holding concerts in woodlands so they can duet

:52:54. > :52:58.We sent our arts correspondent, David Sillito, to see if the birds

:52:59. > :53:19.MUSIC. We are here in Kent. We are gathered in anticipation of being

:53:20. > :53:22.led into the forest at dark to go and listen to the nightingales

:53:23. > :53:35.seeing. They are taking us into the woods to

:53:36. > :53:41.listen to and sing with nightingales in the dark, in the silence, done a

:53:42. > :53:51.lonely path into a forest, you find a stage. The most unlikely of

:53:52. > :53:54.auditoriums. But it is a stage. Is it worth me going down there?

:53:55. > :54:02.Absolutely. No one returns the same. The song of the nightingale. It is a

:54:03. > :54:08.fast disappearing wonder of the British countryside. SINGING. In

:54:09. > :54:13.this nocturnal concert is just one of many taking place across the

:54:14. > :54:19.country, an attempt to reconnect us with what used to be the sound of

:54:20. > :54:29.spring. Oh, it's amazing! The nightingale, it is unparalleled in

:54:30. > :54:36.its virtuoso range. And it is dying out? They have declined by the 6% in

:54:37. > :54:42.the last couple of years. Of course, the idea of playing music with a

:54:43. > :54:47.nightingale is not new. Beatrice Harrington's live performances with

:54:48. > :54:54.them on the BBC were a sensation. But I was worried. The woods sounded

:54:55. > :55:02.very quiet. It is pouring with rain. I cannot see where my feet us. I

:55:03. > :55:08.there really nightingales here? -- are. They are. You will hear them

:55:09. > :55:12.singing and it will grow louder and louder. Please, let it be true.

:55:13. > :55:24.Because we are without them right now. Cup your ears. Focus your

:55:25. > :55:28.hearing. BIRD NOISES. They are so loud, aren't they? I didn't really

:55:29. > :55:44.believe you. There are several metres away. -- they are. SINGING.

:55:45. > :55:49.Doesn't it feel odd to be here in the middle of the night sitting in a

:55:50. > :56:01.forest? No, not at all. It seems quite natural and quite perfect. #

:56:02. > :56:05.The nightingale, they say...# it is important to remember that once upon

:56:06. > :56:10.a time this would have been the soundtrack to our spring. Every

:56:11. > :56:17.fire, every homestead, you could just go out and listen to the

:56:18. > :56:26.nightingales. So, that little, damp thicket, and a wastes is of song. --

:56:27. > :59:50.an oasis of song. ABC News, Kent. Very calming.

:59:51. > :59:53.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London Newsroom

:59:54. > :59:56.Plenty more on our website at the usual address.

:59:57. > :00:27.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:00:31. > :00:32.Senior EU sources accuse the Government of being

:00:33. > :00:34.on a completely different wavelength, and warn talks

:00:35. > :01:00.Also this morning: Shot dead by an intruder in his home.

:01:01. > :01:03.Police in Dorset are still looking for two suspects in connection

:01:22. > :01:25.I will be talking to the boss of Tesco to find out

:01:26. > :01:37.We are the quayside this morning, awaiting the arrival of a huge oil

:01:38. > :01:42.platform that has just been decommissioned from the North Sea --

:01:52. > :01:53.in the modern era to successfully defend a world title.

:01:54. > :02:04.Good morning. We are looking at another cloudy day across eastern

:02:05. > :02:08.areas, with a noticeable breeze accentuating the chilly field. Later

:02:09. > :02:12.we will see some showers in the east and across central parts of England.

:02:13. > :02:16.There will be a lot of dry weather as well, with sunny spells, the

:02:17. > :02:18.lion's share of which will be across the north-west of the UK. I will

:02:19. > :02:21.have more in 15 minutes. First, our main story: There has

:02:22. > :02:25.been further fallout from last week's talks on Brexit

:02:26. > :02:27.between Theresa May and European Commission President

:02:28. > :02:28.Jean-Claude Juncker. Senior EU sources have told the BBC

:02:29. > :02:32.that the UK Government is on a completely

:02:33. > :02:33.different wavelength. They have also accused it

:02:34. > :02:36.of being ignorant of how Brussels works and misunderstanding

:02:37. > :02:38.the fundamentals of Brexit Theresa May has already dismissed

:02:39. > :02:42.reports of a disagreement with EU Our political correspondent

:02:43. > :02:55.Chris Mason is in Westminster. It might be being dismissed as

:02:56. > :02:59.gossip by Theresa May, and we will speak to Amber Rudd about this issue

:03:00. > :03:05.as well but it is quite serious, isn't it, for those accusations to

:03:06. > :03:08.be coming back at the UK? Yes, it is quite serious because these

:03:09. > :03:13.negotiations, the nitty-gritty hasn't got going yet. This is an

:03:14. > :03:16.opening discussion, talks, if you like, about the talks. A dinner

:03:17. > :03:20.party last week at Downing Street for Jean-Claude Juncker, the lead

:03:21. > :03:25.guy from the European Commission, meeting Theresa May. Not exactly the

:03:26. > :03:29.convention of the discreet thank you card and complement of how tender

:03:30. > :03:34.the beef was. Instead, day after day, a drip feed of commentary from

:03:35. > :03:39.the EU's perspective about how the talks went on how in their view, the

:03:40. > :03:45.two backsides, Brussels and London, are 1 million miles about these

:03:46. > :03:48.negotiations -- two sides. That is potentially tricky for Theresa May,

:03:49. > :03:51.because these are going to be complicated negotiations in the

:03:52. > :03:57.coming months and years. Politically, in the short term,

:03:58. > :04:01.quite useful for conservatives here, who can make the ultimate that the

:04:02. > :04:07.talks will be tough, and use this as proof, and say that is why they

:04:08. > :04:11.wanted a bigger majority as a result of the general election. And Labour

:04:12. > :04:15.specifically talking about police numbers today. Yes, we will hear

:04:16. > :04:20.from the Shadow Home Secretary, Diane Abbott, about the promised of

:04:21. > :04:24.10,000 additional police officers on the streets of England and Wales

:04:25. > :04:28.under a Labour government. They point to a tumbling in police

:04:29. > :04:33.numbers, or at least a reduction, in the last five, six or seven years.

:04:34. > :04:37.Now they say, Labour, that they could pay for this by reversing

:04:38. > :04:41.changes in capital gains tax that the Conservatives have pushed

:04:42. > :04:45.through. The Conservatives say, hang on a minute, Labour seems to have

:04:46. > :04:49.promised the use of this money for various other things they have

:04:50. > :04:53.talked about in the last couple of years. They seem to be able to spend

:04:54. > :04:56.the same pound twice, which is of course impossible. When you look at

:04:57. > :05:00.what Labour have said in the past, they have talked about how else they

:05:01. > :05:03.might use the money raised from changing this tax, but whether that

:05:04. > :05:07.amounts to something which is actually in their manifesto in the

:05:08. > :05:09.next couple of weeks we will have to wait and see. Always good to talk to

:05:10. > :05:12.you, thank you very much. Police are continuing to search

:05:13. > :05:15.for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his

:05:16. > :05:18.home in the early hours 61-year-old Guy Hedger was killed

:05:19. > :05:21.by intruders in the village Our correspondent Simon

:05:22. > :05:25.Clemison is at the scene. Simon, what line of enquiry

:05:26. > :05:31.are the police following? What more can you tell us? A very

:05:32. > :05:37.good morning to you, Louise and Dan. This is a very wealthy area on the

:05:38. > :05:41.edge of the New Forest. There are a lot of big, expensive houses here.

:05:42. > :05:46.So why this one in particular has been a question for the police. It

:05:47. > :05:49.does seem that Guy Hedger was targeted specifically, because

:05:50. > :05:53.police now know that jewellery and designer watches were taken. There

:05:54. > :05:57.does seem to have been some element of planning, that intruders were

:05:58. > :06:02.ready to confront someone. They were wearing a la clubbers and carrying a

:06:03. > :06:05.shotgun, so are targeted burglary which turned violent. But it could

:06:06. > :06:09.be some days before we really know all the details here. We believe

:06:10. > :06:16.that Guy Hedger formed a civil partnership 12 years ago. There was

:06:17. > :06:21.another man in the house at the time, police have not confirmed his

:06:22. > :06:25.identity yet but he witnessed some of the events, he is deeply affected

:06:26. > :06:33.by that, there are weapons to recover, so lots of lines for police

:06:34. > :06:35.to cover here, in a murder of a man in an unlikely location.

:06:36. > :06:38.A surfer who went missing off the Scottish coast has been rescued

:06:39. > :06:41.after more than 30 hours clinging to his board.

:06:42. > :06:44.Matthew Bryce was reported missing by his family when he didn't return

:06:45. > :06:46.from a surfing trip in Argyll on Sunday afternoon.

:06:47. > :06:49.He was eventually picked up 13 miles off the coast,

:06:50. > :07:07.still conscious but suffering from hypothermia.

:07:08. > :07:09.He stayed with the surfboard, which aided in detection,

:07:10. > :07:13.He was also, because he was on the surfboard,

:07:14. > :07:16.he wasn't exposed to the water temperature so much and he had

:07:17. > :07:19.the correct wetsuit which kept his oddly temperature warmer than it

:07:20. > :07:22.would have been had he just been in shorts and T-shirt.

:07:23. > :07:25.US President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet

:07:26. > :07:28.North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, in the right circumstances.

:07:29. > :07:30.Mr Trump made his comments amid continuing tensions surrounding

:07:31. > :07:33.The White House later said such talks were unlikely

:07:34. > :07:38.George Osborne starts his new job as editor of the London newspaper

:07:39. > :07:41.The former chancellor was a surprise appointment,

:07:42. > :07:43.with some criticising his lack of journalistic experience.

:07:44. > :07:45.Mr Osborne stepped down last month as Conservative MP

:07:46. > :07:59.George Osborne is used to early starts and deadlines,

:08:00. > :08:03.but it will still have come as a shock when his alarm went

:08:04. > :08:05.at 4:00am this morning, ahead of his first day

:08:06. > :08:08.The former chancellor has taken the editor's chair

:08:09. > :08:11.of the Evening Standard, in one of the most

:08:12. > :08:15.surprising appointments in recent history.

:08:16. > :08:18.Many Westminster observers initially believed he took the job to build

:08:19. > :08:28.But that theory was undermined when Osborne announced

:08:29. > :08:31.that he would step down as an MP for Tatten, in Cheshire.

:08:32. > :08:33.With the business model under some pressure,

:08:34. > :08:37.there is probably relief among staff that Mr Osborne is no longer an MP

:08:38. > :08:41.But there is still an anxiety about his work for Black Rock,

:08:42. > :08:43.the asset manager in the city.

:08:44. > :08:45.Quite aside from the time commitment, it suggests a serious

:08:46. > :08:46.potential conflict of interest.

:08:47. > :08:50.His top priority today, other than a strong front page,

:08:51. > :08:54.will be to explain his vision for the paper to staff.

:08:55. > :08:57.Osborne will leave Parliament tomorrow, and his constituency

:08:58. > :08:59.will get a new MP in five weeks' time.

:09:00. > :09:02.A host of celebrities turned out in their finest for what has been

:09:03. > :09:05.described as the party of the year, the Met Gala.

:09:06. > :09:08.The annual charity ball is held at New York's Metropolitan Museum

:09:09. > :09:11.of Art to raise money for the museum's fashion department.

:09:12. > :09:13.It is an exclusive event, with tickets costing tens

:09:14. > :09:16.of thousands of dollars, and a flamboyant dress code.

:09:17. > :09:30.Just a warning that her report contains flash photography.

:09:31. > :09:35.It is the hottest invite on New York's social calendar,

:09:36. > :09:38.and the biggest night in fashion, that draws out only the stars.

:09:39. > :09:42.Stepping onto the Met Gala red carpet is to enter a runway,

:10:00. > :10:02.When Rei started, you would never believe fashion could be

:10:03. > :10:04.as influential and as powerful as music.

:10:05. > :10:11.You know, a lot of people say, like, how do you wear that?

:10:12. > :10:21.You don't wear those clothes, those clothes wear you.

:10:22. > :10:26.Sleeves need not apply, and cotton candy hair and face

:10:27. > :10:28.coverings are just a few of Kawakubo's signatures.

:10:29. > :10:33.The Met Ball is not the place to play it safe.

:10:34. > :10:35.And that unspoken rule, combined with this unconventional

:10:36. > :10:39.designer's contribution, has led to a night of unique looks.

:10:40. > :10:44.Apple, Blue Ivy, Saint - the entertainment world has given us

:10:45. > :10:46.some interesting baby names over the years,

:10:47. > :10:49.and it seems new parents Cheryl and Liam Payne are the latest

:10:52. > :10:55.Some of this morning's newspapers are reporting that the couple have

:10:56. > :11:00.According to the newspaper, the pop stars spent a week

:11:01. > :11:03.with the baby before deciding on the name.

:11:04. > :11:06.But Cheryl and Liam may not have picked such an unusual name,

:11:07. > :11:09.after all, as actresses Kate Winslet and Alicia Silverstone both have

:11:32. > :11:34.So have Brexit negotiations stalled before they have even started?

:11:35. > :11:37.The Home Secretary, Amber Rudd, joins us now from our

:11:38. > :11:51.Good morning to you. Thank you very much for joining us on Breakfast

:11:52. > :11:54.this morning. So according to EU sources who have spoken to the BBC,

:11:55. > :12:00.you were on a different wavelength when it comes to Brexit. How

:12:01. > :12:05.damaging is this with negotiations ongoing, and likely to be ongoing

:12:06. > :12:10.for quite sometime? Well, I don't see it in that light. The fact is we

:12:11. > :12:13.have always said these are going to be difficult negotiations. We don't

:12:14. > :12:17.underestimate that, but we have a plan, we know what we are doing, we

:12:18. > :12:22.know what our priorities are. What this really demonstrates is how

:12:23. > :12:26.important it is to have Theresa May at the helm, to give the strong

:12:27. > :12:31.leadership and make sure we can engage in those negotiations and we

:12:32. > :12:34.need negotiations in the national interest. There doesn't seem to be

:12:35. > :12:39.any denial that there are these issues. Do you... Well, once you

:12:40. > :12:43.start engaging in gossip and tittle tattle in this way, it carries on,

:12:44. > :12:47.and who knows where it will be? We have our plan, we are entering into

:12:48. > :12:51.these negotiations in good faith. We have our priorities and we will make

:12:52. > :12:55.sure that we deliver those in the national interest. With respect, I

:12:56. > :12:59.know you are dismissing this as gossip, but you keep talking about

:13:00. > :13:02.strong and stable leadership, and about these Brexit negotiations

:13:03. > :13:07.being crucial, and the Conservatives keep saying that Theresa May is the

:13:08. > :13:11.only politician who can sort that out. There is a well-known German

:13:12. > :13:14.newspaper, and our information comes from one of our respected BBC

:13:15. > :13:19.correspondent who has been speaking to senior sources at the EU. So it

:13:20. > :13:23.is not gossip. Again, no one knows how much truth there is in gossip,

:13:24. > :13:28.do they? Again, there are ways to convey what is going on and this is

:13:29. > :13:32.not the right way to do that. We are not going to respond to it, we are

:13:33. > :13:36.going to continue to set out our position, to enter into what in many

:13:37. > :13:39.ways has been strong and positive negotiations. I observe, for

:13:40. > :13:43.instance, the trade commissioner has said yes, she would expect there to

:13:44. > :13:47.be a deal with the single market. So I don't recognise the tone in which

:13:48. > :13:52.this has been reported. At I do come back to the fact that it does make

:13:53. > :13:54.it clear that this is going to be a complex, potentially difficult

:13:55. > :13:58.negotiation at times, and who do we want leading those? We want Theresa

:13:59. > :14:02.May leading them, not Jeremy Corbyn. On that leadership of those EU

:14:03. > :14:06.negotiations, can you comment on speculation that there is a bit of a

:14:07. > :14:10.fallout between Theresa May and the Brexit secretary, David Davis, over

:14:11. > :14:14.his conduct at that meeting? What do you know about that, and what can

:14:15. > :14:18.you tell us? To be honest, nothing at all. I wasn't at the meeting, and

:14:19. > :14:23.she has it already it is gossip, but what I can say is that the meetings

:14:24. > :14:26.I have attended at Cabinet or at the Brexit Cabinet, we have a series of

:14:27. > :14:30.different meetings in different committees in order to engage in

:14:31. > :14:33.Brexit. All I have seen is a totally united group having opened

:14:34. > :14:37.discussions and arriving at the plan which we will take to the European

:14:38. > :14:41.Union. Are the prospects of a good Brexit deal looking worse now than

:14:42. > :14:45.when the prime minister called the election? We are optimistic that we

:14:46. > :14:49.can get a good Brexit deal in the national interests. It is not going

:14:50. > :14:52.to happen overnight. We need to make sure we do it from the position of

:14:53. > :14:56.strength, which is why the prime minister wants to have this general

:14:57. > :14:59.election, nor do we underestimate the difficulties that are going to

:15:00. > :15:03.take place over the next few months. What we have clear plan and we are

:15:04. > :15:07.going to be working to deliver that for the country. Can I ask you, I

:15:08. > :15:11.know it is the mantra about strong and stable leadership. Mrs May gave

:15:12. > :15:15.us an election when she promised she wouldn't. We see rising prices in

:15:16. > :15:18.the shops, we see the crisis in the NHS, talking to Jeremy Hunt about

:15:19. > :15:22.that last week, and she has been described as being in a different

:15:23. > :15:25.galaxy when it comes to these Brexit negotiations. I wonder whether she

:15:26. > :15:26.can really claim that her leadership is strong and stable, when you

:15:27. > :15:39.consider all that? As Home Secretary, she did a lot. As

:15:40. > :15:44.Prime Minister she set out a clear plan. If you talk to people like I

:15:45. > :15:48.do and all the candidates are doing in their constituencies, people are

:15:49. > :15:51.coming up to us saying they want to vote for Theresa May but they cannot

:15:52. > :15:55.vote for Jeremy Corbyn because they have confidence in her. When she

:15:56. > :16:01.decided to call the general election she set a clearly why it was, the

:16:02. > :16:04.timing. The fact is we don't want to enter into the final negotiations

:16:05. > :16:11.with the European Union, and we have seen over the past few days they may

:16:12. > :16:15.be tricky over parts, as we enter into the general election, if we

:16:16. > :16:19.give the reason mandate I hope she will get on June eight, she will

:16:20. > :16:25.enter into the negotiations on a position of strength and with a

:16:26. > :16:30.mandate to carry out the national interest and not need to go to a

:16:31. > :16:33.general election at the end of the negotiations. We will talk about

:16:34. > :16:38.Diane Abbott later. Labour so they will provide 10,000 new police

:16:39. > :16:44.offices in England and Wales. According to your figures, we have

:16:45. > :16:49.seen a decline of 20,000 since 2009. That is under your own party. Will

:16:50. > :16:54.you fix that? The important thing when looking at crime is to find out

:16:55. > :17:01.what those statistics are doing. Crime has fallen by a third since

:17:02. > :17:04.2010. There has been control over budgets and less police officers We

:17:05. > :17:07.have invested in the police force in areas we believe they can make

:17:08. > :17:11.progress with other elements of crime. The point is that what really

:17:12. > :17:17.matters is the outcome. Crime has fallen while budgets have been

:17:18. > :17:22.controlled. That is a good outcome, surely. Thank you. We will speak

:17:23. > :17:31.Diane Abbott and Clegg soon. In half an hour. The weather. Good morning.

:17:32. > :17:36.Good morning. A cold start for many of us. Frost around. Lovely

:17:37. > :17:42.sunrises, as you can see here in east Sussex. Not like this

:17:43. > :17:49.everywhere. A lot of cloud in the UK. Durham, a cloudy start. As the

:17:50. > :17:53.breeze picks up, more cloud coming in. Starting off in some eastern

:17:54. > :17:57.parts with cloud. Further west, clearer skies. Clearer skies by

:17:58. > :18:03.night in London where the temperatures have dipped, of course.

:18:04. > :18:08.The afternoon. Cloud on the east coast bringing in a few showers. If

:18:09. > :18:13.you are on the coast, it will feel cold. Down towards East Anglia and

:18:14. > :18:17.Kent. Some of those showers developing in the Midlands and parts

:18:18. > :18:22.of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. The south-west of England and Wales,

:18:23. > :18:27.sunny intervals to look forward to in the afternoon. Cardiff, 17

:18:28. > :18:32.degrees. North-west England, also seeing sunshine this afternoon. The

:18:33. > :18:37.same with Northern Ireland. The warmest day so far this year for

:18:38. > :18:42.them. Scotland is seeing a lot of sunshine as well. At times, more

:18:43. > :18:46.cloud coming in from the North Sea. Through the evening and overnight,

:18:47. > :18:50.some showers drift towards east Wales and south-west England down

:18:51. > :18:56.towards southern counties. Then they fade. Importing more rain coming

:18:57. > :19:00.across the south-east. With that, a largely dry night under clearer

:19:01. > :19:05.skies, especially where it has been warm by day. Temperatures will drop.

:19:06. > :19:10.A cold night. Here and there, once again, a touch of frost. Into

:19:11. > :19:13.tomorrow, while we are looking at a similar story in the sense that

:19:14. > :19:18.there will still be cloud drifting in from the North Sea, moving

:19:19. > :19:23.steadily towards the west, as we go through the day, producing a few

:19:24. > :19:25.showers, across the finals of England, Scotland, and Northern

:19:26. > :19:30.Ireland, once again, looking at sunny skies. -- far north. If that

:19:31. > :19:36.is tempting you to go into the ocean, it will feel cold. I am

:19:37. > :19:39.showing you this chart because the wind is coming from the east and

:19:40. > :19:45.north-east across the cold North Sea. It will feel cold on the east

:19:46. > :19:49.coast in the next few days. Thursday, a weak weather front in

:19:50. > :19:53.the south not doing much more than bringing in some cloud and the odd

:19:54. > :19:57.spot of rain. Also looking at dry weather. In fact, dry weather is

:19:58. > :20:01.going to be the theme of the weather right until the weekend. If you see

:20:02. > :20:05.anything wet coming out of the sky, it will be a shower. Showers will be

:20:06. > :20:09.hit and miss. That is the case on Thursday to be the northern half of

:20:10. > :20:16.the country once again seeing more sunshine than the south. Back to

:20:17. > :20:31.you. Thank you. Talking about the temperatures. We talked to a surfer

:20:32. > :20:34.who survived for 30 hours due to being well prepared with a wetsuit.

:20:35. > :20:46.And hold on. Hopefully that does not happen. Now Steph is here to talk

:20:47. > :20:49.about BOMAD, the Bank of Mum and Dad.

:20:50. > :20:56.We have been looking at how much parents help young people get onto

:20:57. > :21:00.the property ladder. It is interesting. Around a quarter of all

:21:01. > :21:08.property transactions will involve money that has come from mums and

:21:09. > :21:12.dads. That is significant. Six and a half billion pounds. That makes it

:21:13. > :21:20.the equivalent of the ninth biggest residential lender. An important

:21:21. > :21:24.part of it. It is not a shock when you look at house prices. They have

:21:25. > :21:29.been going up for a long time. The average house price now is ?218,000.

:21:30. > :21:35.If you are trying to get a mortgage with a 10% deposit, you will need 22

:21:36. > :21:40.grand. That is more than some people earn in a year. In order to say that

:21:41. > :21:45.amount of money, money, it can take the ball a long time. It is not a

:21:46. > :21:49.shock that parents end up having to help people get onto the property

:21:50. > :21:54.ladder. -- people. The ninth biggest, that is a lot! It really

:21:55. > :22:01.is. Especially if you have parents that are not particularly

:22:02. > :22:04.forthcoming. Many struggle to get on the ladder because their parents

:22:05. > :22:06.cannot help them. Exactly. Thank you.

:22:07. > :22:09.Standing in the middle of the North Sea, the Brent Field

:22:10. > :22:12.has been a cornerstone of the UK's oil and gas production

:22:13. > :22:16.Now, one of the field's four iconic platforms has been decommissioned.

:22:17. > :22:18.Breakfast's John Maguire is live at its final resting place,

:22:19. > :22:41.Good morning. Good morning. The rig we are showing you is a jacket rig,

:22:42. > :22:49.14,000 pounds. And 24,000 is Brent Delta, 40% bigger. It is three miles

:22:50. > :22:54.offshore. It is a 300 mile journey that it has made from the North Sea

:22:55. > :23:00.to get it will be taken to the jetty at the top which has been purpose

:23:01. > :23:09.built and it will go and be salvaged. That is part of the

:23:10. > :23:12.decommissioning process. A world record feat of engineering.

:23:13. > :23:17.A decade in the planning, but just seconds in the execution,

:23:18. > :23:19.as the topside, as it's known, is lifted

:23:20. > :23:28.off Brent Delta, and onto the world's largest construction ship.

:23:29. > :23:31.The Pioneering Spirit was designed and built exactly for mammoth

:23:32. > :23:35.380 metres long and 124 metres wide across two hulls,

:23:36. > :23:40.it's the size of an Olympic's worth of

:23:41. > :23:49.sports pitches and double-decker buses.

:23:50. > :23:52.Speaking to the BBC before the world-record lift,

:23:53. > :23:55.the captain of the ship says his is a dream job.

:23:56. > :23:58.It is one of the dreams to be the captain of a ship

:23:59. > :24:02.This is as big as you can get in the world at the moment.

:24:03. > :24:05.The Brent Field, more than 100 miles north-east of the Shetlands,

:24:06. > :24:07.has been producing oil since the 1970s.

:24:08. > :24:10.During its peak, half a million barrels a day.

:24:11. > :24:13.Now, the oilfield is coming to the end of its economic

:24:14. > :24:15.life, and these monoliths are being decommissioned,

:24:16. > :24:24.The North Sea in particular is a very harsh environment.

:24:25. > :24:35.The platforms are very big and large integrated platforms.

:24:36. > :24:37.They are much bigger typically than what you would find

:24:38. > :24:41.in the Southern North Sea and shallow basins around the world.

:24:42. > :24:43.They are heavier and more difficult to decommission.

:24:44. > :24:45.It is a process that will be worth at least

:24:46. > :24:49.?40 billion in the years ahead, but it is not without challenges.

:24:50. > :24:51.Shell, which operates the oilfield, says it

:24:52. > :24:54.learned lessons from the furore from the scrapping of the storage

:24:55. > :25:06.Delta's three concrete legs will remain in place

:25:07. > :25:09.as the company believes removing them is too dangerous and expensive.

:25:10. > :25:16.We will see 100 decommissioned in the coming

:25:17. > :25:19.years as these giants of the once so vital Oil Field,

:25:20. > :25:23.The estimate is they will recycle 98.5% of the topside,

:25:24. > :25:37.We will talk to Duncan Manning from Shell. How are your fingernails?

:25:38. > :25:47.Nervous anticipation as we await the movement of the Brent Delta into the

:25:48. > :25:57.port. Things have gone well so far, but it is different from the past.

:25:58. > :26:00.For us, the Brent platforms are integrated in very large. Lifting

:26:01. > :26:04.them make sense in terms of efficiency and also safety. We are

:26:05. > :26:10.moving offshore work onto the far more controlled environment on the

:26:11. > :26:16.onshore recycling yard. There are three more, Alpha, Bravo, and

:26:17. > :26:21.Charlie, to be decommissioned as well. Where are we will with that?

:26:22. > :26:26.You haven't got the rules yet to do so. We have just finished a 60 day

:26:27. > :26:29.public consultation process where the proposals have been in the

:26:30. > :26:36.public domain for stakeholders and members of the public to read,

:26:37. > :26:40.digest, and understand. Once we have been through that process, we will

:26:41. > :26:45.go onto the next one, to apply to remove them. It is up to the

:26:46. > :26:51.government to accept proposals or allow us to move on. From an

:26:52. > :26:55.offshore perspective, in Alpha, we are in the middle of isolating the

:26:56. > :27:06.razor-wire from the surface. -- Reservoir. Brent, we are preparing

:27:07. > :27:09.the platform for lift. Delta is being moved. It will come here on

:27:10. > :27:16.the high tide at half past six tonight. It will be brought in by

:27:17. > :27:22.the Iron Lady which hilariously will be turning around 90 degrees. It

:27:23. > :27:27.will be decommissioned in this part of the UK and much work will be

:27:28. > :27:37.carrying on for years and years to come in the North Sea. So she is

:27:38. > :27:40.returning. I love what you did. We are talking about personal space

:27:41. > :27:44.among other things today. I brought my measure tape. This article in the

:27:45. > :27:52.paper says we value personal space quite highly. If you are a stranger,

:27:53. > :28:00.rights, they say you like to be a metre away. -- right. You are not a

:28:01. > :28:04.stranger. If you are an acquaintance, you can come to 80

:28:05. > :28:09.centimetres. There you go. And if you are considered a friend, a

:28:10. > :28:17.close, intimate companion... Really? 50 is acceptable. We sit too close.

:28:18. > :28:35.You are 21 centimetres. I love that you say that as if it is my fault.

:28:36. > :28:38.Maybe I should go this year. Less than an arm's length is too close,

:28:39. > :28:43.says this man. Many talking about coffee breath, if you can smell it,

:28:44. > :28:47.you are too close. I hate when you are in a line and you can feel the

:28:48. > :28:50.person behind you breathing on your neck. Why can't they just back off a

:28:51. > :28:54.bit! And friendly warmth is best expressed by a cheery nod and a wave

:28:55. > :28:58.from across the room, says this person. It is different whether you

:28:59. > :28:59.are outside or inside. This is much better. Do you feel much more

:29:00. > :32:22.comfortable? I think this could Now, though, it's back

:32:23. > :32:24.to BBC Breakfast. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:32:25. > :32:39.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Senior EU sources have made a series

:32:40. > :32:42.of scathing comments about the Government's approach

:32:43. > :32:44.to Brexit negotiations, raising the prospect they could fail

:32:45. > :32:47.to reach an agreement. Yesterday, a German newspaper

:32:48. > :32:50.reported that talks got off to a bad start when the Prime Minister

:32:51. > :32:52.met the President of the European Commission,

:32:53. > :32:54.Jean-Claude Juncker. Theresa May has dismissed

:32:55. > :33:07.it as Brussels gossip. Well, once you start engaging

:33:08. > :33:12.in gossip and tittle tattle in this way, it carries on,

:33:13. > :33:17.and who knows where it will lead? Much better for us to be absolutely

:33:18. > :33:20.clear. We have our plan, we are entering

:33:21. > :33:22.into these negotiations We have our priorities,

:33:23. > :33:26.and we will make sure that we deliver those

:33:27. > :33:28.in the national interest. In just a few minutes,

:33:29. > :33:37.we will be talking to the former And we have Diane Abbott a little

:33:38. > :33:37.bit later on in the programme as well.

:34:05. > :34:06.still conscious but suffering from hypothermia.

:34:07. > :34:08.He stayed with the surfboard, which aided in detection,

:34:09. > :34:11.He was also, because he was on the surfboard,

:34:12. > :34:14.he wasn't exposed to the water temperature so much,

:34:15. > :34:17.and he had the correct wetsuit, which kept his body temperature

:34:18. > :34:28.warmer than it would have been had he just been in shorts and T-shirt.

:34:29. > :34:31.US President Donald Trump has said he would be honoured to meet

:35:45. > :36:02.I mean, you know, maybe the cat was a bit scared, not typically. I know

:36:03. > :36:07.I'm a bit anti- cat, but they only like you when they want food. That

:36:08. > :36:14.is not entirely true. Dogs are your friend for life, and cats... It is

:36:15. > :36:18.just stereotypes. Cats get fed up and just move on. You see all those

:36:19. > :36:23.missing cat posters and that is because the cat has made a decision.

:36:24. > :36:27.We had a cat who used to just hang its claw underneath the table and

:36:28. > :36:33.every time I walked past, I think I am physically and mentally scarred!

:36:34. > :36:45.Maybe I was in the cat's personal space. We are very much the dog, I

:36:46. > :36:49.am afraid you are cat in the middle. And I am allowed on the sofa and

:36:50. > :36:53.everything. Isn't it funny that this time last year Leicester were top of

:36:54. > :36:57.the world. They won the Premier league and on the same day Mark

:36:58. > :36:59.Selby won the world title. At least they can still count on Mark Selby

:37:00. > :37:01.to give them something to celebrate. Mark Selby is the world snooker

:37:02. > :37:04.champion for a third time. The world number one beat

:37:05. > :37:07.John Higgins by 18-15. Selby had been trailing 10-4 at one

:37:08. > :37:10.point, but he dominated Monday's play to successfully

:37:11. > :37:12.defend his world title. He becomes only the fourth man

:37:13. > :37:16.in modern era to do so. I mean, to sort of get over them two

:37:17. > :37:21.wins and be sitting at three world titles out there on my own

:37:22. > :37:23.is unbelievable, really. And, like I say, to be only one

:37:24. > :37:27.of four players to defend it is just Liverpool's chances of reaching

:37:28. > :37:32.the Champions League have been boosted by one of the goals

:37:33. > :37:35.of the season by Emre Can. The midfielder lit up a pretty

:37:36. > :37:38.uninspiring game with this incredible overhead kick

:37:39. > :37:40.at the end of the first half, which is definitely

:37:41. > :37:42.worth seeing again. Watford rarely threatened,

:37:43. > :37:44.but Sebastian Prodl missed a chance Of course, we couldn't imagine

:37:45. > :37:55.that he would score a bicycle kick, Actually, the space and the run,

:37:56. > :38:00.was what we did on the training For Emre to do something

:38:01. > :38:09.like this is really nice, and it is a wonderful,

:38:10. > :38:17.wonderful result for us. Real Madrid play neighbours

:38:18. > :38:20.Atletico in their first leg of the Champions League semi-finals

:38:21. > :38:22.tonight at the Bernabeu. Cristiano Ronaldo and teammates

:38:23. > :38:24.will be without Gareth Bale, The tie is a repeat of last season's

:38:25. > :38:34.final, which Real won on penalties. Paula Radcliffe says her reputation

:38:35. > :38:37.and dignity have been damaged by plans to scrap all athletics

:38:38. > :38:40.world and European records The credibility of records has been

:38:41. > :38:45.examined following revelations Plans to wipe the slate clean

:38:46. > :38:49.would mean Radcliffe, triple-jumper Jonathan Edwards,

:38:50. > :38:51.and hurdler Colin Jackson would all have their

:38:52. > :38:58.records rewritten. There is good news for England

:38:59. > :39:01.cricket fans ahead of next month's Champions Trophy, as Ben Stokes hit

:39:02. > :39:04.a century in the Indian Premier Stokes came in with his side,

:39:05. > :39:09.Rising Pune Supergiant, in big trouble, but smashed 100

:39:10. > :39:12.to take them to victory - all that despite

:39:13. > :39:17.suffering from cramp. The England Test captain

:39:18. > :39:20.didn't fare so well. Joe Root was caught on 21,

:39:21. > :39:23.but his Yorkshire side still beat traditional rivals Lancashire

:39:24. > :39:25.in the One-Day Cup. England spinner Adil

:39:26. > :39:38.Rashid took two wickets. The first great Britain Lions Rugby

:39:39. > :39:43.League tour in more than a decade could take place in 2019. They have

:39:44. > :39:48.played as individual nations since 2007. The chair of the Rugby League

:39:49. > :39:51.International Federation has told the BBC there could be a tour to the

:39:52. > :39:56.southern hemisphere scheduled between this year's World Cup in

:39:57. > :39:58.Australia and the 2021 tournament in England.

:39:59. > :40:00.And finally, two footballers who appeared to forget which sport

:40:01. > :40:06.This tackle wouldn't have looked out of place in a rugby match.

:40:07. > :40:08.This happened in the Russian Premier League yesterday,

:40:09. > :40:10.between Tom Tomsk and Zenit St Petersburg.

:40:11. > :40:17.Afterwards, both players only received yellow cards.

:40:18. > :40:25.Did they not see it? I think maybe there had been some beef earlier in

:40:26. > :40:30.the match. Are used to watch a bit of wrestling... There is some kind

:40:31. > :40:36.of Hulk Hogan eye gouge. Before that, it was Stone Cold Steve

:40:37. > :40:42.Austin's signature move, the Stone Cold Stunner. He did set him up with

:40:43. > :40:51.a little kick to the gut. Brutal, isn't it?

:40:52. > :40:58.Nearly two thirds of adults in England are overweight or obese.

:40:59. > :41:02.Steph is having a look at that. We have talked about this a lot on the

:41:03. > :41:05.programme. Obesity is a growing problem, and the government has been

:41:06. > :41:10.trying to persuade food manufacturers and retailers to do

:41:11. > :41:14.their bit. Some of the measures are compulsory, like the planned tax on

:41:15. > :41:18.sugary food, and others are voluntary. With me is the Tesco

:41:19. > :41:23.chief executive for the UK and the Republic of Ireland. What are you

:41:24. > :41:27.doing about it? Look, we know this is an area where customers really

:41:28. > :41:31.want us to help them. What we are trying to do over the next few week

:41:32. > :41:35.is really pulled together -- next few weeks. Customers need to

:41:36. > :41:39.understand how they can eat healthier. So lots of swaps where

:41:40. > :41:43.customers can swap healthier products away from the less healthy

:41:44. > :41:51.products, price reductions across the board, so that we focus those

:41:52. > :41:54.price reductions on healthier areas. Because customers are clearly

:41:55. > :42:00.telling us that they want some support, rather than us dictating

:42:01. > :42:06.what they can or can't buy. And when you say price reductions, is that a

:42:07. > :42:11.hit you will be taking? So no, that is something we are absolutely

:42:12. > :42:14.doing. I think for the first time we have got a co-ordinated campaign

:42:15. > :42:20.where the healthier option is actually going to cost less than the

:42:21. > :42:25.option which has higher fat and higher salt or sugar. The Health

:42:26. > :42:30.Select Committee say that one of the big problems is all the promotions

:42:31. > :42:33.you have on unhealthy snacks and ready meals and things. Are you

:42:34. > :42:39.going to be stopping those during this? Look, if you take unhealthy

:42:40. > :42:43.snacks, let's take chocolate, customers are well aware there is

:42:44. > :42:49.lots of sugar and fat in a bar of chocolate. Where we are focusing is

:42:50. > :42:54.on areas of hidden sugar. So if you take areas like pass the sources,

:42:55. > :43:01.cooking sauces, since 2015, in terms of Tesco's own range, we have

:43:02. > :43:05.reduced the sugar by 18%, salt by 10% and that by 20 odd %. It is

:43:06. > :43:10.these hidden sugars that customers tell us they really want help with.

:43:11. > :43:15.And with your own branded products you are reducing the fat and sugar

:43:16. > :43:18.content in them. There has been a voluntary strategy to reduce sugar

:43:19. > :43:22.content by 20% over the next few years. We have had Sainsbury's Bank

:43:23. > :43:26.there should be compulsory. Do you think this should be compulsory?

:43:27. > :43:30.Absolutely, if we look at areas of our business like soft drinks, and

:43:31. > :43:35.we have reduced since 2011 the sugar in our soft drinks by over 20%. We

:43:36. > :43:39.were the first retailer in October last year to declare that every

:43:40. > :43:44.single one of our own brand drinks have less than five grams of sugar

:43:45. > :43:49.per 100 millilitres, and therefore doesn't qualify for the sugar tax.

:43:50. > :43:54.If we take something like Tesco sugar, which did have nearly ten g

:43:55. > :43:58.of sugar in, it now has five g of sugar in, and we are proud of what

:43:59. > :44:01.we have been doing. We have seen a lot of talk about the inflationary

:44:02. > :44:06.pressures coming in, the fact that the value of the pound has been

:44:07. > :44:10.falling, making it more expensive to import. Other price pressures, and

:44:11. > :44:14.do you see a time when we will have the seafood prices go up? There are

:44:15. > :44:21.absolutely inflationary pressures in the economy at the moment. If I look

:44:22. > :44:25.at a basket of goods that customers purchase from Tesco, they are still

:44:26. > :44:29.6% less than they were two years ago, and as you say, the intense

:44:30. > :44:36.competition that sits across the whole grocery sector will mean that

:44:37. > :44:40.prices stay low for customers. Stay low, but will start to go up? Look,

:44:41. > :44:45.there is priced Hirscher in the economy but we are very, very

:44:46. > :44:49.focused as Britain's biggest supermarket in making sure that food

:44:50. > :44:57.prices stay low for customers, very, very focused on that. There has been

:44:58. > :45:01.another big deal with you guys, what difference a shop is going to notice

:45:02. > :45:05.with that? What is the strategy behind that? We're really excited

:45:06. > :45:08.about the opportunity to combine Britain's largest retailer with

:45:09. > :45:13.Britain's largest wholesaler. We feel that that will provide benefits

:45:14. > :45:17.for customers, for retailers, for wholesalers, right across the

:45:18. > :45:21.country. If you take fresh food, we are particularly focusing on today,

:45:22. > :45:26.we think ultimately the distribution of fresh food will be more positive

:45:27. > :45:30.as a result of these two businesses combining. And it is about having

:45:31. > :45:35.smaller shops rather than the huge one. Is that about the turnaround of

:45:36. > :45:40.things? You will focus on that? Our growth at the moment, if you look at

:45:41. > :45:44.the recent results, comes across the board. So our largest stores, which

:45:45. > :45:48.people had written off in the past, are trading much more strongly. But

:45:49. > :45:53.at the same time if you look at the growth which is forecast in the

:45:54. > :45:57.market, most of the growth flows from online and convenience. Your

:45:58. > :46:00.market share has been falling recently, if you look at the recent

:46:01. > :46:04.figures. Why is it falling when you are in the middle of this turnaround

:46:05. > :46:08.plan, when things are meant to be getting better for you? The past few

:46:09. > :46:12.years have been a difficult period for Tesco, but we are really pleased

:46:13. > :46:17.with the progress we have made over the past 2.5 years in terms of how

:46:18. > :46:21.we are serving. Britain's shoppers are better served each day. Have you

:46:22. > :46:28.had your pick? Have you had your day of being... We have lots of plans in

:46:29. > :46:31.our business, and to continue to delight customers across the board.

:46:32. > :46:37.What we are doing over the next few weeks is bringing all of that

:46:38. > :46:39.together from health perspective, and making sure that customers are

:46:40. > :46:50.supported to buy healthier products. Fascinating. We are talking a lot

:46:51. > :46:55.about the weather this morning as usual. It is glorious in some parts

:46:56. > :47:00.of the country. We will talk to Carol soon. But this is Hartlepool,

:47:01. > :47:07.where John Maguire has been talking to us. And now a look outside the

:47:08. > :47:19.studios in Salford where it is a beautiful, and I think, calm and

:47:20. > :47:27.sunny day. Let us have a look. OK, while you do that, the weather.

:47:28. > :47:34.Stormy seas. This is Aberdeen. Good morning. My Weather Watcher picture

:47:35. > :47:40.is great. Aberdeen. Cloud. More cloud across eastern areas today. 40

:47:41. > :47:47.in Nottinghamshire. That should lift. -- foggy. Blue skies. Thank

:47:48. > :47:54.you to the Weather Watcher is for sending this in. Keep it coming.

:47:55. > :47:58.Cloud and fog. Blue skies first thing in some areas. Look at these

:47:59. > :48:05.clouds. They will start the pulling more cloud from the cold North Sea.

:48:06. > :48:11.Some showers. Like yesterday, the north and west will hang on to the

:48:12. > :48:20.lion's share of the best weather. Yesterday, Northern Ireland had the

:48:21. > :48:23.warmest weather this year so far. You can see how we have ploughed in

:48:24. > :48:32.eastern England coming in from the North Sea. -- cloud. Temperatures

:48:33. > :48:37.going up in eastern areas. Some going into the Pennines. We will

:48:38. > :48:41.hang the sunshine. The Midlands and East Anglia, Essex, Kent, down

:48:42. > :48:48.towards Hampshire, again, showers. Hit and miss. Not all of us look at

:48:49. > :48:53.one. Sunny intervals. South-west England, a dry day then yesterday.

:48:54. > :48:57.Sunshine. The same for Wales. Sunny spells through the day into the

:48:58. > :49:05.afternoon. Cambridge is up to 14 in Aberdeen. Northern Ireland, a sunny

:49:06. > :49:08.day. Dry. The same in much of Scotland. Eastern Scotland is still

:49:09. > :49:13.prone to cloud coming in from the North Sea at times. That will pull

:49:14. > :49:19.back the temperatures. Overnight, some of those showers getting into

:49:20. > :49:25.eastern Wales. Then they fade. The next batch coming in across

:49:26. > :49:35.south-east England on a noticeable breeze. Clearer skies by day and it

:49:36. > :49:40.will bring a drop in temperatures overnight. A touch and frost the

:49:41. > :49:43.next morning. Still some rain coming in from the south-east turning

:49:44. > :49:49.increasingly showery through the day. A stiff Rhys tomorrow brawling

:49:50. > :49:57.in more cloud in England and Wales. -- breeze. The finals of England,

:49:58. > :50:04.Northern Ireland, and Scotland, will see the best sunshine. As we go into

:50:05. > :50:08.Thursday, a weak weather fronts in the south. That will not do much

:50:09. > :50:13.more than produce the odd cloud and show it. Quite breezy. That is

:50:14. > :50:21.coming in from the cold North Sea. Right on the coastline you will feel

:50:22. > :50:27.it as cold. And all of this cloud in southern areas producing the

:50:28. > :50:30.showers. The north of the UK will see the lion's share of the

:50:31. > :50:34.sunshine. If you are looking for significant rainfall in the

:50:35. > :50:39.forecasts, not expecting it until Sunday at least. What we will see

:50:40. > :50:44.are showers here and there. Fairly hit and miss, of course. Now, back

:50:45. > :50:49.to you. Thank you. Very interesting. Showers, but not until the weekend.

:50:50. > :50:52.The former Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, is warning this morning

:50:53. > :50:56.that Theresa May's intention to take the UK out of the single market

:50:57. > :50:58.will damage those she claims to want to help most.

:50:59. > :51:02.He will argue in a speech later that the result of the EU

:51:03. > :51:04.Referendum is already making families worse off.

:51:05. > :51:19.Good morning. Thank you for joining us. The remaining campaign had some

:51:20. > :51:24.dire warnings. But that does not reflect your campaign. You to

:51:25. > :51:27.distinguish between breathless claims between what would happen

:51:28. > :51:30.immediately after the referendum and the long-term effects on the British

:51:31. > :51:36.economy in the long-term effects on the money in pockets of people. We

:51:37. > :51:40.have seen prices go up in shops, food is more expensive, petrol,

:51:41. > :51:49.energy, holidays, because the pound plummeted compared to some last year

:51:50. > :51:53.by about 17%. We are also starting to see messages from companies like

:51:54. > :51:57.Nestle and Deutsche bank saying they will move out of the country. And I

:51:58. > :52:01.am afraid the latest figures show people are not spending in the shops

:52:02. > :52:05.like they were a few months ago because of the squeeze on their

:52:06. > :52:10.incomes. My worry is that in the same way the Conservatives are being

:52:11. > :52:13.complacent about the election, treating it like coronation, they

:52:14. > :52:18.are being complacent about effects already emerging about Brexit. This

:52:19. > :52:21.is the point, it will be made much worse, tremendously, by the choice

:52:22. > :52:27.to pursue a particularly hard exit, and I think that is not the right

:52:28. > :52:31.choice from Theresa May. She should be held to account by an effective

:52:32. > :52:38.opposition in Parliament. You would be aware Theresa May is saying every

:52:39. > :52:45.vote gives her a better hand in Brexit negotiations to strengthen

:52:46. > :52:49.the UK and the economy. They talk about strong and stable leadership

:52:50. > :52:54.going into the negotiations and holding a strong position. He

:52:55. > :52:59.problem as it is not true that racking up a landslide majority for

:53:00. > :53:02.the Conservatives is going to make this negotiation more

:53:03. > :53:11.straightforward. In fact, by doubling up and rake committing

:53:12. > :53:16.herself to the heart approach to Brexit, not just taking it out of

:53:17. > :53:19.the EU, but out of Margaret Thatcher's single market in the

:53:20. > :53:22.customs union and so on, she is making an economically difficult

:53:23. > :53:28.situation even worse for millions of other hard-pressed families in this

:53:29. > :53:36.country. And she is also, in a sense, making it more likely, as we

:53:37. > :53:40.saw in the report with Juncker, that the attitude will become belligerent

:53:41. > :53:47.between the EU and the UK. Neuer will benefit from that because we

:53:48. > :53:54.depend so heavily in everything on a good relationship with the rest of

:53:55. > :53:59.the EU. -- no one. Talk about the single market. Europe is being clear

:54:00. > :54:03.about that. Being part of the single market and staying in it means there

:54:04. > :54:08.must be freedom of movement. Do you agree? My own view is that Theresa

:54:09. > :54:12.May could and should have sought to find a solution on the issue of free

:54:13. > :54:18.movement, which is undoubtedly a big issue. She could have done that in

:54:19. > :54:22.the aftermath of the referendum. I spoke to many European politicians.

:54:23. > :54:27.They said they would not try to find some way to accommodate her demands.

:54:28. > :54:33.There is a rock and a hard place. It is impossible to be part of the

:54:34. > :54:37.single market, replacing 28 bits of red tape with one rule book for the

:54:38. > :54:42.whole of the EU. It is impossible to be part of that open marketplace of

:54:43. > :54:46.rules if you are not going to abide by the rulings of it and the

:54:47. > :54:52.European Court of Justice. So you agree... She could have found a

:54:53. > :54:57.solution, but she will... I will ask you I think it will make us poor as

:54:58. > :55:02.a country. Your opinion, would you agree to freedom of movement? I

:55:03. > :55:08.think freedom of movement benefits us because it allows us to study and

:55:09. > :55:12.travel abroad. But my point is if you want to find a solution to

:55:13. > :55:16.freedom of movement, I don't know, restricting it more to the freedom

:55:17. > :55:20.to work rather than simply to move across the European Union, something

:55:21. > :55:25.I suspect she could have achieved if she had wanted to. She chose not to.

:55:26. > :55:29.She chose merely to declare without speaking to the rest of the EU that

:55:30. > :55:35.she would pursue the most hardened uncompromising form of Brexit. That

:55:36. > :55:39.will make it difficult economically in the future. That is the reason

:55:40. > :55:44.she is holding the general election. She knows the news will be tough in

:55:45. > :55:48.the months and years to come so she is getting her excuses and election

:55:49. > :55:52.in early. Nick Clegg, I will ask you, you have been part of a

:55:53. > :55:56.coalition government and you are qualified to talk about what it is

:55:57. > :56:00.like to be part of their government. Would be Lib Dems be part of them

:56:01. > :56:04.again? Not at all in this election. There is not a remote chance we

:56:05. > :56:11.would be in a coalition either with Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn. It is

:56:12. > :56:14.not going to happen. That is why all of the embers robotic star from the

:56:15. > :56:22.Conservatives saying it is either us or a coalition of chaos is utter

:56:23. > :56:29.nonsense. Jeremy Corbyn will not be Prime Minister. The question is who

:56:30. > :56:33.will hold Theresa May to account? Will them to account when their

:56:34. > :56:37.promises of this Brexit turns out to be much more difficult for millions

:56:38. > :56:43.the country? That could only come from more effective opposition,

:56:44. > :56:48.which only be Lib Dems can provide. Thank you very much. And later we

:56:49. > :56:50.will talk to Diane Abbott. A coalition of chaos, they said. We

:56:51. > :00:18.will catch up with Hello this is Breakfast,

:00:19. > :00:22.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. A war of words over Britain's

:00:23. > :00:27.approach to Brexit negotiations. Senior EU sources accuse

:02:25. > :02:29.reports of a disagreement with EU Our political correspondent

:02:30. > :02:43.Chris Mason is in Westminster. There is already discussions about

:02:44. > :02:48.discussions and who said what to whom at what dinner party. Where are

:02:49. > :02:51.we with this? It is baffling and this is the start of the process, we

:02:52. > :02:54.have two years about this, talks about talks and gossip about talks

:02:55. > :02:59.and others gossiping they will not gossip about the other person's

:03:00. > :03:03.gossip. All of this about a dinner party that the Prime Minister hosted

:03:04. > :03:06.last Wednesday, dinner in Downing Street for Jean-Claude Juncker, boss

:03:07. > :03:11.of the European Commission, to talk about the talks that are coming. No

:03:12. > :03:15.discreet thank you card, compliments about the creme brulee in the days

:03:16. > :03:21.after the dinner and all that sort of thing. Instead, a welter of

:03:22. > :03:26.briefings from Brussels to German newspapers, the BBC and Sunday

:03:27. > :03:30.newspapers in the UK, suggesting, frankly, that the two science,

:03:31. > :03:36.Brussels and the UK, are 1 million miles apart before these

:03:37. > :03:41.negotiations start. The UK and Brussels -- in Brussels's view

:03:42. > :03:44.doesn't understand what the European Union's priorities are. A senior

:03:45. > :03:48.European source said they would not get into a briefing law so that

:03:49. > :03:53.gossip and talk about talks me, frankly, for the moment at least

:03:54. > :03:58.have reached its final ground. I sort of thing not, Chris. Let's talk

:03:59. > :04:02.about the campaign Trail. Labour are on the campaign trail talking about

:04:03. > :04:06.police officers aren't they? They are and you can tell the general

:04:07. > :04:11.election is underway when this little studio I talk to you from as

:04:12. > :04:15.the aroma of politicians who are desperate to appear and tell you

:04:16. > :04:18.about what will be their election winning pitch. Labour talking about

:04:19. > :04:22.police officers, their desire for an extra 10,000 officers in England and

:04:23. > :04:26.Wales and point to the declining number of officers in the last six

:04:27. > :04:30.or seven years. They say they would pay for that by reversing the

:04:31. > :04:33.Government's changes to Capital Gains Tax, the Conservatives make

:04:34. > :04:37.the argument Labour appear to have allocated the money that would

:04:38. > :04:42.generate. To other things already. You can only spend the same pound

:04:43. > :04:46.twice. As you've discovered in your conversation with Nick Clegg, former

:04:47. > :04:49.Deputy Prime Minister, Liberal Democrats talking Brexit today as

:04:50. > :04:54.well and their fears about a so-called hard Brexit, the economic

:04:55. > :04:58.consequences they fear that could have on ordinary working families.

:04:59. > :05:05.Chris Como talking about aftershave and perfume, does it smell good in

:05:06. > :05:08.there? I'm no expert when it comes to the olfactory senses but it

:05:09. > :05:15.doesn't smell too bad. It's not too bad! It's early in the morning!

:05:16. > :05:22.Thank you, Chris. Diane Abbott will be in their later. We will speak to

:05:23. > :05:24.her on Breakfast later. Now to some other stories this morning.

:05:25. > :05:27.Police are continuing to search for two suspects after a man

:05:28. > :05:30.was shot dead in his home in the early hours of Sunday morning.

:05:31. > :05:31.61-year-old Guy Hedger, was killed by intruders

:05:32. > :05:36.Our correspondent Simon Clemison is at the scene.

:05:37. > :05:44.Simon, good morning, what more do we know? Good morning, Dan and Louise.

:05:45. > :05:49.This is a very wealthy area on the edge of the new Forest with quite a

:05:50. > :05:52.lot of very big, expensive houses. So why this one in particular? That

:05:53. > :05:58.has been a big question for the police but it seems Guy Hedger was

:05:59. > :06:00.targeted, his property was targeted because police now know that

:06:01. > :06:06.jewellery and designer watches were taken. There does seem to be some

:06:07. > :06:11.elements of planning here. The intruders seemed ready for a

:06:12. > :06:18.confrontation, they had balaclavas and shotguns and it was a violent

:06:19. > :06:22.burglary. It will be some days before we have all the details.

:06:23. > :06:26.There was a man at the house at the same time as well as Guy Hedger and

:06:27. > :06:32.it seems he saw some of the events but he is obviously deeply affected

:06:33. > :06:38.by that. He will be a witness. There is the weapon to find as well. So, a

:06:39. > :06:42.lot of lines for police to follow up here. The police say an attack on an

:06:43. > :06:46.innocent man in an unlikely location. Thank you very much, this

:06:47. > :06:47.morning. This is an amazing story we have

:06:48. > :06:49.been talking about. A surfer who went missing off

:06:50. > :06:52.the Scottish coast has been rescued after more than 30 hours clinging

:06:53. > :06:54.to his board. Matthew Bryce was reported missing

:06:55. > :06:57.by his family when he didn't return from a surfing trip in Argyll

:06:58. > :06:59.on Sunday afternoon. He was eventually picked up 13 miles

:07:00. > :07:17.off the coast still conscious The Coast Guard said he survived

:07:18. > :07:22.because he had a thick wet suit and he stayed on top of his surfboard.

:07:23. > :07:26.After 30 hours at what point do you think you will never be found? Do

:07:27. > :07:32.you ever give up? How do you keep yourself entertained? It is awful.

:07:33. > :07:34.Terrifying. One day we would love to speak to him. Find out what he went

:07:35. > :07:36.through. US President Donald Trump has said

:07:37. > :07:39.he would be "honoured" to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un,

:07:40. > :07:41.in the right circumstances. Mr Trump made his comments

:07:42. > :07:43.amid continuing tensions surrounding The White House later said

:07:44. > :07:47.such talks were unlikely George Osborne starts his new job

:07:48. > :07:51.as editor of the London newspaper The former Chancellor was a surprise

:08:01. > :08:11.month as Conservative MP The seat which is due to be

:08:12. > :08:16.abolished next election. He will edit the paper four days a week. We

:08:17. > :08:30.understand his alarm goes off at 4am. Welcome. 4am? I am a 3:30er. If

:08:31. > :08:34.you go to a posh do do you just have one dress that you go for?

:08:35. > :08:39.No! No, you have lots.

:08:40. > :08:43.I don't have dresses like this, though.

:08:44. > :08:45.It's described as the party of the year and is

:08:46. > :08:48.the hottest ticket in town - the Met Gala.

:08:49. > :08:50.The annual charity ball is held at New York's Metropolitan Museum

:08:51. > :08:53.of Art to raise money for the museum's fashion department.

:08:54. > :08:55.It's an exclusive event, with tickets costing tens

:08:56. > :08:57.of thousands of dollars and a flamboyant dress code.

:08:58. > :08:59.Just a warning that her report contains flash photography.

:09:00. > :09:05.It is the hottest invite on New York's social calendar,

:09:06. > :09:08.and the biggest night in fashion, that draws out only the stars.

:09:09. > :09:11.Stepping onto the Met Gala red carpet is to enter a runway,

:09:12. > :09:17.This year, the Met Costume Institute is honouring Japanese

:09:18. > :09:19.designer Rei Kawakubo, who famously blurs the line

:09:20. > :09:29.For Rei, there is no box, and she did that so early on.

:09:30. > :09:31.When Rei started, you would never believe fashion

:09:32. > :09:33.could be as influential and as powerful as music.

:09:34. > :09:38.You know, a lot of people say, like, how do you wear that?

:09:39. > :09:41.You don't wear those clothes, those clothes wear you.

:09:42. > :09:44.Sleeves need not apply, and cotton candy hair

:09:45. > :09:47.and face coverings are just a few of Kawakubo's signatures.

:09:48. > :09:53.The Met Ball is not the place to play it safe.

:09:54. > :10:02.And that unspoken rule, combined with this unconventional

:10:03. > :10:09.designer's inspiration, has led to a night of unique looks.

:10:10. > :10:14.It is 8:10am, you're watching BBC Breakfast.

:10:15. > :10:17.The parents of a seriously ill baby will reportedly launch an appeal

:10:18. > :10:19.today against a legal ruling that would see life support withdrawn

:10:20. > :10:23.Last month, the High Court ruled that doctors could move

:10:24. > :10:25.eight-month-old Charlie Gard, who suffers a rare genetic disorder,

:10:26. > :10:36.The Daily Mail reports this morning that his parents Connie Yates

:10:37. > :10:39.and Chris Gard would launch a new court challenge after Ms Yates

:10:40. > :10:41.told the newspaper Charlie is still "strong and stable".

:10:42. > :10:44.Let's speak now to Emma Nottingham, a member of the Institute

:10:45. > :10:46.of Medical Ethics Research Committee and lecturer in child law.

:10:47. > :10:49.Good morning. Thanks very much. We have talked about this case before.

:10:50. > :10:58.Tell us legally what is happening now? So, at the moment it's been

:10:59. > :11:02.accepted that they can take the case to an appeal. So what that means is

:11:03. > :11:07.that it will move up through the court system. So it will go to the

:11:08. > :11:14.next highest court which is the Court of Appeal and new legal

:11:15. > :11:18.arguments will be put forward. There will be different judges who are

:11:19. > :11:22.going to look at the issues again in light of the new arguments that have

:11:23. > :11:28.been made. They will deliver a new judgment. With regard to new legal

:11:29. > :11:34.arguments is that different evidence, new evidence, what might

:11:35. > :11:38.it be? The evidence itself will be fairly similar. Nothing new has

:11:39. > :11:42.really come about. But it's different legal arguments that are

:11:43. > :11:48.being made. Some of that will touch upon the legal arguments that were

:11:49. > :11:50.made before regarding what is in Charlie's best interests. However,

:11:51. > :11:54.it has been reported, although we don't have much information about

:11:55. > :11:58.this at the moment, that it's going to be based on human rights. So

:11:59. > :12:03.there is going to be a potential human rights challenge. We don't

:12:04. > :12:07.know whose human rights yet we are talking about, so that could be the

:12:08. > :12:11.human rights of Charlie himself, or the human rights of the parents can

:12:12. > :12:16.also come into play here. That's all the information we have so far. But

:12:17. > :12:20.it's a very different kind of legal argument. So it's possible that the

:12:21. > :12:24.outcome could be quite different. Just give us an idea as well,

:12:25. > :12:31.because this is an unusual case, such a difficult case. What sort of

:12:32. > :12:34.things were the court and the judge considering when they made the

:12:35. > :12:38.judgment? When they made the previous judgment they were really

:12:39. > :12:43.focusing on Charlie himself. All of the evidence that was given by the

:12:44. > :12:48.medical professionals involved to try and make an assessment for what

:12:49. > :12:51.is considered to be in Charlie's best interests. So they can look at

:12:52. > :12:56.other factors such as the parents but the main focus is actually

:12:57. > :13:02.Charlie and what is best for him. And, sadly, the decision of the High

:13:03. > :13:06.Court was that it's in Charlie's best interests to withdraw the

:13:07. > :13:11.treatment. Now, the parents believe really strongly that he still has a

:13:12. > :13:17.chance, and given they have got the money now to be able to send Charlie

:13:18. > :13:20.across to America for experimental treatment, that's something that

:13:21. > :13:24.they are really pushing for. So they do have a chance now to perhaps have

:13:25. > :13:30.the decision from the High Court overturned. I said before this is

:13:31. > :13:36.such an unusual and difficult case. Will it have any, when it finally

:13:37. > :13:41.comes to whatever decision it is, will it have any ramifications for

:13:42. > :13:46.other cases at all? Every case is dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

:13:47. > :13:52.As we have been told, Charlie's condition is extremely rare. He's

:13:53. > :13:57.reported to be only the 16th person in the world with this condition. So

:13:58. > :14:03.it could have implications for, maybe, other cases to do with very

:14:04. > :14:07.young children and issues around withdrawal of treatment. But it's

:14:08. > :14:10.very difficult to actually say exactly what implications it's going

:14:11. > :14:17.to have because every case is going to be different. So if we see a case

:14:18. > :14:20.in the future that deals with a child and issues around the

:14:21. > :14:24.withdrawal of their treatment, it's not going to be the same conditions.

:14:25. > :14:29.So it's difficult to actually say whether it's going to have any

:14:30. > :14:32.implications. But there is a possibility that it could. Emma

:14:33. > :14:41.Nottingham, a member of the Institute for medical ethics

:14:42. > :14:43.research Institute. It is 8:14am. A reminder of some of

:14:44. > :14:48.the main stories on Breakfast. Senior EU sources have criticised

:14:49. > :14:50.Britain's approach to Brexit negotiations and warn talks

:14:51. > :14:51.could fail altogether. The hunt continues for two suspects

:14:52. > :15:03.after the murder of a marketing executive shot in his home

:15:04. > :15:13.on Bank Monday morning. A report says we like a meter if

:15:14. > :15:17.you're a stranger and 80 centimetres for an acquaintance and this is

:15:18. > :15:22.clearly a bugbear. Nick says, "I detest people when they come up to

:15:23. > :15:25.my face to talk to me. Because in South America, particularly

:15:26. > :15:29.Argentina, it is very sort of, I get in there. It is right up in your

:15:30. > :15:34.grill. I become defensive and agitated and refuse to listen to

:15:35. > :15:40.someone who is in my face." Kathleen says if I can feel or hear them

:15:41. > :15:43.breathe, they're too close. Paul says a meter from strangers, but

:15:44. > :15:49.buses and trains and taxis, what do you do? Buses, trains, Tubes? It is

:15:50. > :15:57.an issue. Stewart says, "How close is too close? It depends on the

:15:58. > :16:07.volume of deodorant used! " We like a bit of PS in this country. Carol

:16:08. > :16:13.how close is too close? I like my personal space. A good arm's length.

:16:14. > :16:19.Arm's length. An arm's length. We should be measuring by an arm! Get

:16:20. > :16:25.out of my area! Lou, you will be in the next town if you go with Dan's!

:16:26. > :16:32.Good morning, it is a chilly start for some of us. Our Weather Watchers

:16:33. > :16:37.sent some beautiful pictures. Down the east of the country, we will see

:16:38. > :16:39.more cloud. There is some fog in Nottinghamshire this morning too. It

:16:40. > :16:48.will lift. We will see clearer skies. But a beautiful start to the

:16:49. > :16:51.day in Great Malvern. On the satellite picture you can see where

:16:52. > :16:54.we've got cloud and fog, but it is mostly dry at this stage. However,

:16:55. > :17:00.through the course of the day, we will see some showers. Watch those

:17:01. > :17:04.isobars. They start to veer to more of an easterly direction. So we will

:17:05. > :17:08.be pulling in the breeze over a cold North Sea, moving the cloud around,

:17:09. > :17:11.bringing some more into the east and that's the cloud that will produce

:17:12. > :17:15.the showers in the east, but for England and they will try and spur

:17:16. > :17:18.into central parts and later towards West Wales and the south-west. This

:17:19. > :17:23.morning we've got some cloud down this East Coast, but we've got a

:17:24. > :17:26.fair bit of sunshine around. The lion's share will be in the

:17:27. > :17:30.north-west of the UK. But you can see where the showers are coming in

:17:31. > :17:34.across eastern parts of England heading towards the Midlands. They

:17:35. > :17:38.are hit and miss. So by no means will we all see them. It is the same

:17:39. > :17:42.for East Anglia and Essex and Kent. You might catch one. On the Isle of

:17:43. > :17:46.Wight, but again, they are all hit and miss as is the way with showers.

:17:47. > :17:50.Into south-west England, you should stay dry. Much drier than it was

:17:51. > :17:55.yesterday. Highs up to 15 Celsius in Plymouth. For Wales, a lot of

:17:56. > :17:58.sunshine to look forward to. As we will have across Cumbria and

:17:59. > :18:02.Lancashire as well. The same too for Northern Ireland. Another beautiful

:18:03. > :18:05.day for you. You had your highest temperature of the year so far

:18:06. > :18:10.yesterday and across much of Scotland, a lot of dry and sunny

:18:11. > :18:13.conditions, but at times along this East Coast, there will be more cloud

:18:14. > :18:16.coming in. Through the evening and overnight, the showers advance

:18:17. > :18:20.towards west and eastern parts of Wales, down towards the South Coast

:18:21. > :18:24.and then they fade. We've got some more coming in across the South East

:18:25. > :18:28.on a brisk breeze. Where it has been really warm and sunny by day, the

:18:29. > :18:32.temperature will dip away really quickly as it gets dark. So it will

:18:33. > :18:37.be a cold night and here and there we could see frost. Tomorrow, this

:18:38. > :18:40.area of rain will increasingly turn more showery, but you will notice

:18:41. > :18:44.this breeze and watch how it is bringing the cloud further west in

:18:45. > :18:47.through Wales and south-west England as well as as the Midlands and parts

:18:48. > :18:50.of Northern England. So it will be the extreme fringes of the

:18:51. > :18:54.south-west and Wales that see sunshine. But again, Northern

:18:55. > :18:58.England, Scotland and Northern Ireland hanging on to the sunshine

:18:59. > :19:03.for much of the day. And for Thursday we have got this weak front

:19:04. > :19:07.in the south. That will bring in cloud and the odd spot. Further

:19:08. > :19:12.north, drier and sunnier, but it will be breezier and a chilly breeze

:19:13. > :19:17.at that, Dan and Lou. Carol, thank you very much. Arm's

:19:18. > :19:23.length. That's a really good judge, isn't it? If you're on a train...

:19:24. > :19:28.Excuse me. He's off, son. You're in me area.

:19:29. > :19:30."Lucky to be alive" - That's how Belfast Coastguard have

:19:31. > :19:33.described a surfer who was rescued from the Irish Sea last

:19:34. > :19:35.night after 30 hours clinging to his board.

:19:36. > :19:38.Matthew Bryce was picked up 13 miles off the Argyll coast where he'd

:19:39. > :19:40.been surfing on Sunday, and flown to hospital where

:19:41. > :19:46.Earlier Dawn Petrie from The Belfast Coastguard

:19:47. > :20:01.We got the call from the police on Monday to say he'd gone missing on

:20:02. > :20:09.Sunday. We were a full 24 hours behind in the search for him. We

:20:10. > :20:14.insta getted a large scale search, senior coastguard officers, and

:20:15. > :20:21.rescue helicopter from Prestwick to search the area where we suspect he

:20:22. > :20:24.may have drifted. And his chances of survival, how would you describe

:20:25. > :20:30.what he went through and how he was still there 30 hours later? He was

:20:31. > :20:33.very well prepared. He was a very fit gentleman which aidted his

:20:34. > :20:38.survivability. He stayed with the surf board which aided the detection

:20:39. > :20:42.looking for him. He was also then, because he was on the surf board, he

:20:43. > :20:47.wasn't exposed to the water temperatures so much and he had the

:20:48. > :20:50.correct wetsuits which kept his body temperature warmer than it would

:20:51. > :20:57.have been had he just been in shorts and T-shirt. Right, so he sat on the

:20:58. > :21:03.board, did he? Yes, we understand. He had gone out for a surf and tried

:21:04. > :21:08.to get back in again and we believe he suffered some cramps and just

:21:09. > :21:12.wasn't able to paddle against the tide which then continually took him

:21:13. > :21:16.away from the shore. So incredible work done by all the emergency

:21:17. > :21:21.services and the coastguard to find him. How was he when you found him?

:21:22. > :21:26.When the helicopter picked him up, he was conscious. He was talking to

:21:27. > :21:31.them, he was able to tell them what had happened to him, that he had

:21:32. > :21:35.gone out on the Sunday and although he was suffering from hypothermia.

:21:36. > :21:39.And your advice to people if that should happen is, what stay with the

:21:40. > :21:42.board? Stay with the board. Be well prepared before you go out. Let

:21:43. > :21:47.somebody know where you're going, what time you expect them to be back

:21:48. > :21:54.at. Take a means of alerting something with you whether it be a

:21:55. > :21:55.small flair pack or mobile phone so if you get into difficulties you are

:21:56. > :22:04.able to raise the alarm. Top tips, warm a wetsuit, stay with

:22:05. > :22:09.your board and take a mobile phone, they are not normally water proof. I

:22:10. > :22:17.want to know what he was thinking about during the 30 hours? Hopefully

:22:18. > :22:21.when he is recovered, we'll get him on.

:22:22. > :22:24.The bank of mum and dad is in the news again as it has

:22:25. > :22:26.emerged more would-be homeowners are getting help from family

:22:27. > :22:28.and friends to get them on the property ladder.

:22:29. > :22:34.The bank of mam and dad rather than mum and dad! Hey, who is arguing

:22:35. > :22:38.about this? Parents are forking out a lot of money to help their

:22:39. > :22:42.children get on to the property ladder. If you look at the figures

:22:43. > :22:46.from Legal General, parents contribute to around a quarter of

:22:47. > :22:52.all the property purchases in the UK at the moment. That is worth ?6.5

:22:53. > :22:58.billion. So, equivalent, if you make that equivalent to a bank, that

:22:59. > :23:01.would be the ninth biggest residential lender putting them on

:23:02. > :23:06.par with Yorkshire building society. It is a lot of money. It is not a

:23:07. > :23:10.massive shock. If you think about the average house price is ?218,000,

:23:11. > :23:14.you know, if you're looking at a deposit of #10e %, that's only

:23:15. > :23:18.?22,000 and the fees you need on top of that, it is a lot of money.

:23:19. > :23:21.That's more than a lot of particularly the young people will

:23:22. > :23:25.earn in a year so therefore, it takes a long time to save up that

:23:26. > :23:29.money and lots of parents out there feel like, a lot of them want to get

:23:30. > :23:33.them shot out of the house for a start, but feel like they want to

:23:34. > :23:39.help. It is tough for those that can't help. It is tough for those

:23:40. > :23:43.that can't help. I know, it makes it harder.

:23:44. > :23:45.Nightingales are Britain's most celebrated songbird but are under

:23:46. > :23:54.This year as they return from migration to the woods

:23:55. > :23:56.and thickets of Southern England, they're being welcomed back

:23:57. > :24:00.As part of the first national Nightingale Festival,

:24:01. > :24:02.folk singers are holding concerts in woodlands so they can duet

:24:03. > :24:05.We sent our Arts Correspondent David Sillito to see

:24:06. > :24:21.We are gathered in anticipation of being led into the forest

:24:22. > :24:27.at dark to go and listen to the nightingales sing.

:24:28. > :24:32.Sam Lee is taking us into the woods, not just to listen to nighten gales,

:24:33. > :24:48.but to sing with them. In the dark, in the silence,

:24:49. > :24:50.down a lonely path It's the fast disappearing wonder

:24:51. > :25:11.of the British countryside. And this nocturnal concert

:25:12. > :25:15.is just one of many taking place across the country,

:25:16. > :25:17.an attempt to reconnect us with what used to be

:25:18. > :25:19.the sound of spring. The nightingale, it's unparalleled

:25:20. > :25:28.in its virtuoso range. They have declined by 62%

:25:29. > :25:41.in the last couple of years. Of course, the idea of playing music

:25:42. > :25:44.with a nightingale isn't new. Beatrice Harrington's live

:25:45. > :25:45.performances with them But 90 years on I was worried. The

:25:46. > :26:00.woods sounded very quiet. You will hear them singing and it

:26:01. > :26:14.will grow louder and louder. Because we are without

:26:15. > :26:18.them right now. It doesn't it feel odd to be

:26:19. > :26:47.here in the middle of the night It seems quite natural

:26:48. > :26:58.and quite perfect. I think it is important

:26:59. > :27:13.to remember that once would have been the soundtrack

:27:14. > :27:17.to our spring. Every fire, every homestead,

:27:18. > :27:19.you could just go out and listen So, that little, damp

:27:20. > :27:25.thicket, an oasis of song. It's time for the news,

:27:26. > :30:49.travel and weather where you are. Plenty more on our website

:30:50. > :30:52.at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast

:30:53. > :31:02.with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin. Let us bring you up to date with the

:31:03. > :31:08.news and sport this morning. Senior EU sources have made a series

:31:09. > :31:10.of scathing comments about the Government's approach

:31:11. > :31:12.to Brexit negotiations, raising the prospect they could fail

:31:13. > :31:14.to reach an agreement. Yesterday, a German newspaper

:31:15. > :31:18.reported that talks got off to a bad start when the Prime Minister met

:31:19. > :31:20.the President of the European Theresa May has dismissed

:31:21. > :31:24.it as Brussels gossip and earlier, Number 10 said it

:31:25. > :31:27.wouldn't enter a briefing war with EU officials over

:31:28. > :31:34.Brexit negotiations. Earlier, the former

:31:35. > :31:36.Deputy Prime Minister, Nick Clegg, told us relations were worsening

:31:37. > :31:45.between Britain and the EU. She is making a difficult situation

:31:46. > :31:50.economically even worse for many millions of hard-pressed families in

:31:51. > :31:54.this country and she is also in a sense making it much more likely, as

:31:55. > :32:00.we saw in the report of the dinner with John Claude Junker, that the

:32:01. > :32:02.atmosphere will become increasingly belligerent. No one will benefit

:32:03. > :32:09.from that. Police are continuing to search

:32:10. > :32:12.for two suspects after a man was shot dead in his home

:32:13. > :32:14.in the early hours 61-year-old Guy Hedger,

:32:15. > :32:16.was killed by intruders Detectives say it was

:32:17. > :32:20.a targeted attack. US President Donald Trump has said

:32:21. > :32:23.he would be honoured to meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un

:32:24. > :32:25.in the right circumstances. Mr Trump made his comments

:32:26. > :32:27.amid continuing tensions surrounding The White House later said

:32:28. > :32:32.such talks were unlikely Such is the economic clout

:32:33. > :32:40.of the Bank of Mum and Dad that it's now equivalent to the ninth

:32:41. > :32:46.biggest mortgage lender in the UK. Steph has been talking about this

:32:47. > :32:50.this morning. New figures show family and friends

:32:51. > :32:53.helped out with house purchases to the tune

:32:54. > :32:55.of ?6.5 billion this year - that's 30%

:32:56. > :32:58.more than last year. George Osborne starts his new job

:32:59. > :33:01.as editor of the London newspaper, The former Chancellor was a surprise

:33:02. > :33:05.appointment, with some criticising his lack

:33:06. > :33:10.of journalistic experience. Opposition MPs called on him to quit

:33:11. > :33:15.politics. Mr Osborne stepped down last

:33:16. > :33:25.month as Conservative MP The seat is going to be abolished at

:33:26. > :33:26.the next election. If you are a cat lover, I am sure you will enjoy

:33:27. > :33:31.this. Scott Derben took no chances

:33:32. > :33:40.when he saw a feline in danger. They are having a fight and one goes

:33:41. > :33:45.straight over the edge into the water. In comes Scott. I think he is

:33:46. > :33:49.quite brave, actually. You do not want to jump in the water. He

:33:50. > :33:55.reaches down, rescues Felix. Typically though, Scott got very

:33:56. > :34:11.little appreciation from the cat The cat put up his paw. I can

:34:12. > :34:12.imagine the cat saying, get lost, get me some food, I could have done

:34:13. > :34:15.that myself! Victoria Derbyshire is on at 9am

:34:16. > :34:24.this morning on BBC two. More than 300 disabled people every

:34:25. > :34:29.day are going to court to overturn a decision to reduce or stop the

:34:30. > :34:34.benefits. Why do I need to stand up in front of the judge and say what

:34:35. > :34:38.is wrong with me? I have not broken the law. I have not done anything

:34:39. > :34:45.wrong. I do not need to be stood in front of a judge and that annoyed me

:34:46. > :34:51.more than anything else. The process is costing taxpayers around ?1

:34:52. > :34:53.million a week. Join us for that. Try -- join us for the. Try after

:34:54. > :35:03.Breakfast. Meanwhile, Labour are pledging

:35:04. > :35:05.10,000 extra police The party says it will pay for them

:35:06. > :35:10.by reversing capital gains tax. But the Conservatives have dismissed

:35:11. > :35:12.the plans as nonsensical. Let's speak now to the Shadow Home

:35:13. > :35:23.Secretary, Diane Abbott, Good morning. Nonsensical so the

:35:24. > :35:29.Tories, can you explain how you will find the 10,000 extra police

:35:30. > :35:32.officers? I can explain but let me say it is really important we put

:35:33. > :35:37.more resources into policing because we are seeing a worrying rise in

:35:38. > :35:40.violent crime including gun crime and knife crime and we think

:35:41. > :35:46.community policing has an important role to play. We will fund it by

:35:47. > :35:54.reversing one of the Cory tax cuts for the rich, the cut in capital

:35:55. > :35:59.against tax -- the Tory tax cuts. Some of the promises made, it has

:36:00. > :36:03.been said it will be helping schools, welfare and the arts. How

:36:04. > :36:09.much money is there in the pot? We have not committed to spending that

:36:10. > :36:14.money on anything. What we have said over and over again is that it is

:36:15. > :36:18.one of the Tory tax cuts for the rich that we could use to fund our

:36:19. > :36:25.programme. I and this morning saying specifically that we are committing

:36:26. > :36:32.to spend, about ?300 million, I think, of the ?2.7 billion that you

:36:33. > :36:36.get by reversing the capital gains tax cuts, we are committing this

:36:37. > :36:43.morning to spending it on 10,000 extremely needed police men and

:36:44. > :36:46.women. Surely you can understand why the Conservatives and others are

:36:47. > :36:54.saying there are holes in your funding plans. We have had

:36:55. > :36:58.corporation tax savings as well. We -- will we have to wait to see them

:36:59. > :37:01.specifically costed in the manifesto? The Tories do not want to

:37:02. > :37:06.deal with the issues of rising violent crime, they do not want to

:37:07. > :37:11.admit we have lost 20,000 police officers under the Tories. I can

:37:12. > :37:17.assure you that every proposal in our manifesto will be fully costed

:37:18. > :37:22.and fully funded. We look forward to getting that. Everyone says, wait

:37:23. > :37:27.for the manifesto. It will be good to read where the money will be

:37:28. > :37:31.spent. We are talking about what has been happening with the EU

:37:32. > :37:35.negotiations. I am sure you have seen what the Conservatives are

:37:36. > :37:39.dismissing as gossip. Interesting information from one of our BBC

:37:40. > :37:45.reporters talking to senior EU sources. With that in mind, the

:37:46. > :37:50.frosty relationship between Theresa May and President Juncker, what

:37:51. > :37:54.position would Labour be in to negotiate a stronger position? Would

:37:55. > :37:59.they be in a stronger position to negotiate with the EU? We think we

:38:00. > :38:03.would be in a better position in relation to the interests of British

:38:04. > :38:07.people because we are committed to protecting jobs and living

:38:08. > :38:14.standards. What Theresa May, if you are to believe what EU officials are

:38:15. > :38:20.saying, is totally unrealistic about how you protect the interests of the

:38:21. > :38:25.British people. It is remarkable that Juncker came out of the dinner

:38:26. > :38:30.saying he was even more sceptical and even more concerned that talks

:38:31. > :38:34.with Theresa May because she is so unrealistic are likely to collapse.

:38:35. > :38:39.Talking to Nick Clegg half an hour ago, Louise mentioned the prospect

:38:40. > :38:43.of working with Labour to form effective opposition against the

:38:44. > :38:46.Tories. I can read you what he said, no remote chance of the Liberal

:38:47. > :38:52.Democrats going into a coalition with Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn.

:38:53. > :38:57.Nobody believes Jeremy Corbyn will be Prime Minister. Everyone assumes

:38:58. > :39:02.Theresa May will be PM. He used the phrase, coalition of chaos. I wonder

:39:03. > :39:04.where that would be on your agenda, possible linkup with the Liberal

:39:05. > :39:10.Democrats? If Nick Clegg wants to talk about a very unfortunate

:39:11. > :39:15.coalition, he needs to think about his coalition with the Tories which

:39:16. > :39:20.resulted in his MPs dropping to eight or nine. What about the

:39:21. > :39:24.future? We are fighting this election to win, we're not talking

:39:25. > :39:29.about coalitions with anybody because we are not planning to be in

:39:30. > :39:30.coalition anybody. Diane Abbott, thank you for your time this

:39:31. > :39:39.Coming up here on Breakfast this morning...

:39:40. > :39:41.She always famously has a smile for the public,

:39:42. > :39:43.but a new biopic explores a more melancholy side to

:39:44. > :39:47.We'll speak to one of the actresses who play her in just

:39:48. > :39:51.A new BBC documentary explores why people with psychosis

:39:52. > :39:55.and schizophrenia hear voices and suffer from paranoia,

:39:56. > :39:58.and explores alternative therapies for them.

:39:59. > :40:00.We'll speak to two of the women who took part

:40:01. > :40:06.And the best-selling author of A Monster Calls, Patrick Ness,

:40:07. > :40:09.will be here to tell us how his new book is his

:40:10. > :40:25.If you were getting Snooker loopy over the bank holiday, great final.

:40:26. > :40:30.Mark Selby, third time he has won? Yeah, he is beginning to get a

:40:31. > :40:36.stranglehold on the sport. Brilliant stuff. I have been watching over and

:40:37. > :40:40.over again on the BBC Sport website, there is a moment when he tries to

:40:41. > :40:47.Snooker John Higgins and there is a very controversial... Did it touch?

:40:48. > :40:52.You are squinting at the screen because you can just about see a

:40:53. > :40:58.reflection on the ball. Can you see it wobble? In the end, it was deemed

:40:59. > :41:02.it did not touch. He was penalised. He won anyway. Great champion. Good

:41:03. > :41:06.morning, everybody. Mark Selby is the World Snooker

:41:07. > :41:08.Champion for a third time. The world number one

:41:09. > :41:10.beat John Higgins 18-15. Selby had been trailing 10-4 at one

:41:11. > :41:13.point, but he dominated Monday's play to successfully

:41:14. > :41:15.defend his world title. He becomes only the fourth man

:41:16. > :41:24.in the modern era to do so. Very special. To get over the two

:41:25. > :41:31.wins and be sitting at three world titles on my own, it is

:41:32. > :41:33.unbelievable. To be only one of four players to defend it, it is

:41:34. > :41:36.something I can only dream of. Liverpool's chances of reaching

:41:37. > :41:38.the Champions League have been boosted by one of the goals

:41:39. > :41:41.of the season by Emre Can. The midfielder lit up a pretty

:41:42. > :41:43.uninspiring game with this incredible overhead kick

:41:44. > :41:51.at the end of the first half. He says it is the best goal he has

:41:52. > :41:55.ever scored! For the rest of his career, he will keep trying.

:41:56. > :41:57.Watford rarely threatened but Sebastian Prodl missed a chance

:41:58. > :42:02.Liverpool are three points clear in third.

:42:03. > :42:04.Paula Radcliffe says her reputation and dignity have been damaged

:42:05. > :42:06.by plans to scrap all athletics world and European

:42:07. > :42:10.The credibility of records has been examined following revelations

:42:11. > :42:16.Plans to wipe the slate clean would mean Radcliffe,

:42:17. > :42:18.triple jumper Jonathan Edwards and hurdler Colin Jackson would all

:42:19. > :42:25.There's good news for England cricket fans ahead of next month's

:42:26. > :42:28.Champions Trophy as Ben Stokes hit a century in the Indian Premier

:42:29. > :42:34.Stokes came in with his side, Rising Pune Supergiant,

:42:35. > :42:37.in big trouble, but he smashed a 100 to take them to victory.

:42:38. > :42:41.All that despite suffering from cramp.

:42:42. > :42:44.The England Test captain didn't fare so well.

:42:45. > :42:48.Joe Root was caught on 21, but his Yorkshire side still beat

:42:49. > :42:50.rivals Lancashire in the One Day Cup.

:42:51. > :42:55.England spinner Adil Rashid took two wickets.

:42:56. > :43:02.Impartiality personified, but yes for Yorkshire! Brilliant stuff.

:43:03. > :43:06.Thank you very much indeed. She's the cheeky, chirpy blonde

:43:07. > :43:08.best known for roles in the Carry On films

:43:09. > :43:10.and as matriarch Peggy Now a BBC biopic drama

:43:11. > :43:14.of Dame Barbara Windsor, Babs, delves deep into the life story

:43:15. > :43:17.of the woman loved by millions. Barbara is played by four actors

:43:18. > :43:19.portraying her at different stages in her career and the actress

:43:20. > :43:22.Samantha Spiro takes on the role It's the second time

:43:23. > :43:25.she's played the actress. We'll speak to her in

:43:26. > :43:27.a minute, but let's take Do you want me to get you something

:43:28. > :43:35.before you go back on? Nice steak, medium rare,

:43:36. > :43:43.side salad, new potatoes How about I go and see if they've

:43:44. > :43:51.fixed the car and then grab fish Bet the press can't

:43:52. > :44:04.believe their luck. Another divorce, end

:44:05. > :44:37.of the pier one nighters. Samantha Burke is here. -- Samantha.

:44:38. > :44:41.You have played her before. I seem to have spent most of my life

:44:42. > :44:46.playing Barbara Windsor! Not a bad thing. Tell us about your first

:44:47. > :45:01.experience. I played her 20 years ago on stage. It was made into a TV

:45:02. > :45:06.film called Core Blimey about the Carreon period. Different playing

:45:07. > :45:12.her as a slightly more mature Barbara. This takes her through some

:45:13. > :45:18.of the darker times. What do we see about her? I think Barbara was very

:45:19. > :45:25.brave wanting to do this particular story which is warts and all. It

:45:26. > :45:30.shows Barbara at a crossroads and the decisions she made and sometimes

:45:31. > :45:34.not making the right decision. She really wanted this story rather than

:45:35. > :45:37.a sentimental vision of her life which I think a few people had

:45:38. > :45:41.written stories but she chose this one.

:45:42. > :45:49.From the public perspective, you issue that she is a happy character,

:45:50. > :45:55.with happy times, and this film is open with her sleeping on the floor

:45:56. > :46:03.of the theatre. This was the toughest period in her life. She was

:46:04. > :46:07.doing end of the pier shows, she was bankrupt, pretty much, coming out of

:46:08. > :46:12.her second marriage. But the like in this period was meeting Scott, who

:46:13. > :46:17.25 years on is still the love of her life, they are the most incredible

:46:18. > :46:23.couple. It was a clever moment for Tony Jordan to choose. The film

:46:24. > :46:29.takes place between the matinee and evening show. There is a clever

:46:30. > :46:37.device, I will not tell you too much about it, but the 56-year-old

:46:38. > :46:44.Barbara goes back through her whole life in a beautiful way, I think,

:46:45. > :46:50.and so we see various barbarous, Jamie Winston playing her in her 20s

:46:51. > :46:57.and 30s, and then the young Barbara as well. It is a lovely film. The

:46:58. > :47:01.relationship with her dad is important, trying to please her dad.

:47:02. > :47:05.That's right, because after her parents split up when she was 12,

:47:06. > :47:09.she spent the rest of her life trying to replace him. And trying to

:47:10. > :47:14.find somebody to Love her in the way that he did when she was a little

:47:15. > :47:19.girl. The film deals with that as well. Lots of reflection, let's look

:47:20. > :47:26.at you as Barbra reflecting on her career.

:47:27. > :47:36.She wanted what was best for me. That talent scout. Brian Mickey. He

:47:37. > :47:40.said, she's really got something. I have no intention of putting my

:47:41. > :47:43.daughter on the stage, she has won a scholarship, she will be a

:47:44. > :47:48.foreign-language telephonist. The first I had heard of it. She changed

:47:49. > :47:57.her mind, though. I wonder why that was. She talked about nothing else.

:47:58. > :48:03.Do you remember Ada Foster, head of my first drama school? Cost me

:48:04. > :48:12.enough. She is not the usual little lady we have coming through our

:48:13. > :48:18.doors, she is different. The little actress is just fantastic

:48:19. > :48:23.as well. From an early age, it seems clear that this was always going to

:48:24. > :48:29.be her destiny. He is stopping her doing what she wanted to do. She was

:48:30. > :48:35.sent away when she was very young. She was nature rain, out touring,

:48:36. > :48:39.from 12, which seems remarkable now, put on a train and off to a

:48:40. > :48:44.different town every week. During that first four she became a young

:48:45. > :48:49.woman, from being a little girl at the beginning, and then those famous

:48:50. > :48:55.accoutrements blossomed. He spent much of your life playing her, but

:48:56. > :49:00.you are involved in other stuff as well, like the Tracey Ullman show.

:49:01. > :49:04.When you watch something and it seems like everybody is having fun,

:49:05. > :49:10.is it manufactured, or do you laugh your head off? We really did laugh

:49:11. > :49:17.our heads off. She is the most remarkable woman, so clever, funny,

:49:18. > :49:21.kind. She is brilliant. Doing those scenes with her is an absolute joy.

:49:22. > :49:28.When I see Angela Merkel on the news, I am looking for Birgit,

:49:29. > :49:35.Angela really need her hair sorted out! You are involved with Doctor

:49:36. > :49:43.Who and Doc Martin? That's right. I will be in this series of Doctor

:49:44. > :49:48.Who. I can't say who or where. Not even if I tickle you!

:49:49. > :49:54.Don't invade the personal space! And Doc Martin as well? I about to

:49:55. > :50:00.go down to Cornwall for that. I might have a holiday at the same

:50:01. > :50:05.time. As an actor, you have boundaries... A measuring stick, a

:50:06. > :50:13.meter. I liked your thing about coffee breath, you are too close.

:50:14. > :50:21.You cannot smell it on yourself. I can! You are giving me those eyes.

:50:22. > :50:25.It is especially bad for you! If you are very close! Lovely!

:50:26. > :50:30.Babs in on BBC One this Sunday at 8pm.

:50:31. > :50:36.Here's Carol with a look at this morning's weather.

:50:37. > :50:44.It has been a cold start this morning, and we have had fog. Some

:50:45. > :50:48.in Falmouth, which is lifting nicely now. As we push further into wards

:50:49. > :50:59.Lancashire, look at the lovely blue sky. For many, sunny spells. But

:51:00. > :51:03.there is also cloud. The mist and fog lifting, and more cloud coming

:51:04. > :51:08.in from the North Sea. There is some already in situ, but more will

:51:09. > :51:11.develop the wind the astute a north-easterly, and the breeze will

:51:12. > :51:17.be more noticeable. The coastline will feel chilly in the east. A lot

:51:18. > :51:23.of sunshine this morning, but watch how the cloud develops. We bust to

:51:24. > :51:27.see some showers coming in across eastern England and the Midlands and

:51:28. > :51:31.Southern counties. Towards the West, a lot of sunshine. Northern Ireland,

:51:32. > :51:37.you had your highest temperature of the year yesterday, and another

:51:38. > :51:41.sunny day today. A lot of sunshine for Scotland, especially in the

:51:42. > :51:44.north-west. At times in the East we will see more cloud coming in from

:51:45. > :51:51.the North Sea. North-west England, beautiful day. In the East, all of

:51:52. > :51:58.this cloud romping in from the North Sea, producing showers. The showers

:51:59. > :52:02.will be fairly hit and miss. As we drift into the south-west, much

:52:03. > :52:08.drier than yesterday. A lot of sunshine. A sunny day across much of

:52:09. > :52:13.Wales. Later we could see some of the showers migrate towards eastern

:52:14. > :52:17.Wales and the south-west, and through the evening they clean

:52:18. > :52:22.altogether. Meanwhile, the next system coming in from the low

:52:23. > :52:27.countries. The breeze picking up. Elsewhere across the UK, variable

:52:28. > :52:31.cloud, some breaks. Where we have had the warm temperatures by day,

:52:32. > :52:36.the temperature will drop quickly by the time it gets dark. It means we

:52:37. > :52:39.start with a lot of sunshine tomorrow morning. WSDL have the

:52:40. > :52:46.showers in the south-east, but they will turn lighter in nature, and

:52:47. > :52:52.fewer and further between. You could see how the cloud comes in on the

:52:53. > :52:56.breeze, extending further west. The western fringes will hang on the

:52:57. > :53:02.brightest skies, but further north, you will see the lion's share of the

:53:03. > :53:06.sunshine. By Thursday, and occlusion across Southern counties will

:53:07. > :53:10.produce not much more than a band of cloud and the odd shower, but we

:53:11. > :53:16.will have quite a brisk breeze. It will accentuate the cold feel into

:53:17. > :53:19.Friday and the weekend. There will still be a lot of dry weather

:53:20. > :53:24.around, with just the occasional shower. If you are looking for

:53:25. > :53:33.significant rainfall, there is not any in the forecast up until Sunday.

:53:34. > :53:36.For decades, if you told a doctor you were hearing voices,

:53:37. > :53:39.they would try to find ways to suppress them, but new scientific

:53:40. > :53:42.insights into how the brain works are leading to a radical rethink

:53:43. > :53:47.on what these kinds of experiences are and how to treat them.

:53:48. > :53:49.Rachel Waddingham has been hearing voices since she was seven.

:53:50. > :53:52.She has schizophrenia and hears many different voices every day,

:53:53. > :53:59.They both decided to take part in a new BBC Horizon documentary

:54:00. > :54:02.which explores alternative treatments.

:54:03. > :54:14.I have watched quite a lot of this documentary, it can bring an

:54:15. > :54:20.enormous amount of understanding to what is going on. Rachel, talk about

:54:21. > :54:24.your story, because it was clear to you the moment that this started

:54:25. > :54:30.them are looking in the mirror? Yes, when I was seven I remember seeing a

:54:31. > :54:34.monster stare back at me. I knew that my friends did not see it. They

:54:35. > :54:40.did not freak out and I did internally. I started to believe I

:54:41. > :54:45.was a monster in the inside, but I could not tell anyone about it. What

:54:46. > :54:49.about you, when did you first hear those voices, and what do they sound

:54:50. > :54:57.like, how many were there, and how has your understanding of who they

:54:58. > :55:04.are changed? A lot of questions in their! That is good! My first memory

:55:05. > :55:11.was when I was three, very young. Initially the voices, quite young,

:55:12. > :55:19.but lots of children hear voices. Initially the voices were quite

:55:20. > :55:23.benign, positive. But they came out of difficult things that had

:55:24. > :55:30.happened to me as a child. As I got older, they became more difficult.

:55:31. > :55:34.The programme explores, I ended up as a patient for a very brief period

:55:35. > :55:40.of time. I was lucky to get some great therapy and do quite a lot of

:55:41. > :55:45.self-help work on my voices. I still hear voices regularly, but I have a

:55:46. > :55:53.positive relationship with them. I am quite successful now. I am a

:55:54. > :55:59.mother. My voices have become part of my life that help me live a good

:56:00. > :56:03.and happy life. It might be an ignorant question, but do you talk

:56:04. > :56:10.back to them? Yes. It is a good question. I am glad it is not too

:56:11. > :56:15.ignorant! Rachel and I are involved with an organisation, one of the

:56:16. > :56:19.things we would advocate is that it is quite important to start engaging

:56:20. > :56:23.with the voices, which goes against what a lot of people have been told

:56:24. > :56:28.traditionally by the medical establishment. Traditionally people

:56:29. > :56:33.have been told, take medication, do not engage with the voices, and that

:56:34. > :56:40.works for some people, but not enough. There is an amazing sequence

:56:41. > :56:45.where you draw the various people who chat to you on a regular basis,

:56:46. > :56:53.there is a group of three particularly and a young couple of

:56:54. > :57:02.girls. Who are they? I have 13 or so different voices, less than Jacqui.

:57:03. > :57:08.Children, younger people, and also groups which I find more troubling.

:57:09. > :57:12.The three that talk about me, you can hear them running commentary in

:57:13. > :57:16.the background. They talk about me not being safe, they are having a

:57:17. > :57:28.field day with me being on TV now. You are safe, I dig so! I am from

:57:29. > :57:31.Hackney! You could sort her out! We don't know what the reaction will

:57:32. > :57:38.be. For me to have these voices do not mean I have a mental illness. I

:57:39. > :57:40.do not identify with schizophrenia. I have been through some difficult

:57:41. > :57:42.things, this is how I have responded.

:57:43. > :57:44.One of the alternative treatments explored in the documentary

:57:45. > :57:46.is avatar therapy, creating a digital image

:57:47. > :57:49.of what a voice may look like and then interacting with it.

:57:50. > :58:03.There is one group of progressive voices that she struggles with, the

:58:04. > :58:07.not yets. They are called the not yets because I did not want to talk

:58:08. > :58:11.about them in therapy, so it was a way of not getting the therapist to

:58:12. > :58:18.talk about them. I feel physical -- physically pick, talking about them,

:58:19. > :58:23.and drawing this makes me feel frightened. By drawing it, it is as

:58:24. > :58:27.if I am making it real. She is going to try a different kind of treatment

:58:28. > :58:32.to deal with the not yets, called Avatar therapy. She is going to try

:58:33. > :58:40.and put a face to one of them for the first time. The professor has

:58:41. > :58:43.been pioneering this new technique. It involves creating a

:58:44. > :58:50.computer-generated face that Rachel will then have to interact with.

:58:51. > :58:59.That looks quite alarming, did you find it useful? It was interesting.

:59:00. > :59:02.What it helps with, by giving face to one of the voices I struggle

:59:03. > :59:06.with, it gave me the chance to become more assertive with it, and

:59:07. > :59:13.the therapist encouraged that, but it missed something, because what I

:59:14. > :59:15.did afterwards, I had somebody talk directly with my voices, which are

:59:16. > :59:24.likely to see my voices differently. Both of you have said this.

:59:25. > :59:29.Traditionally, you would suppress those voices, but you have both said

:59:30. > :59:40.they give you information and wisdom sometimes. Absolutely. I see the

:59:41. > :59:44.voices as aspects of me that came out of shattering experiences so it

:59:45. > :59:51.is about trying to reclaim these pieces of yourself. And changing the

:59:52. > :59:59.relationship with it. My voices make me laugh. They are pretty hilarious.

:00:00. > :00:04.They are wise. They are insightful. They help me multitask. I and the

:00:05. > :00:09.chair of the big organisation. I am a parent. They help me to live a

:00:10. > :00:14.fulfilling life. If anyone is thinking, I am talking to be book, I

:00:15. > :00:20.have voices in my head, we are running out of time, I'm afraid, the

:00:21. > :00:24.voice in my head is telling me! What would your fundamental piece of

:00:25. > :00:30.advice be to them? I would say, speak to somebody. There are really

:00:31. > :00:35.good approaches now. We have peer support, loads of options and it is

:00:36. > :00:40.just reaching out to the right people. Thank you to my director for

:00:41. > :00:43.giving me more time for that answer. Most fascinating. Really good to

:00:44. > :00:52.talk to you both. Horizon: Why Did I Go Mad?

:00:53. > :00:56.is on BBC Two tonight at 9pm. Standing in the middle

:00:57. > :00:59.of the North Sea, the Brent Field has been a cornerstone of the UK's

:01:00. > :01:01.oil and gas production Now, one of the field's four iconic

:01:02. > :01:05.platforms has been decommissioned. Breakfast's John Maguire is live

:01:06. > :01:14.at its final resting place, There was a gorgeous sunrise this

:01:15. > :01:18.morning. Clouds have replaced the sun but they're all sorts of things

:01:19. > :01:24.going on. We have been playing engineering Trumps. Incredible

:01:25. > :01:30.figures and statistics. That grain was until very recently one of the

:01:31. > :01:38.biggest harbour cranes in the world. -- that grain. In the North Sea, a

:01:39. > :01:44.list of 24 point half thousand tonnes. 100 times heavier than what

:01:45. > :01:49.it can lift and it is a world record. We have had dredging in the

:01:50. > :01:56.channel here because what will happen is Brent Delta will be

:01:57. > :02:03.brought up the water. To give you an idea of the scale, big numbers here,

:02:04. > :02:11.that jack-up rig is probably about 14,000 tonnes. Brent Delta at least

:02:12. > :02:15.50% bigger than that. It will come later today on the high tide. It

:02:16. > :02:23.will be salvaged. The next phase in the story of the Brent Field.

:02:24. > :02:26.A decade in the planning, but just seconds in the execution,

:02:27. > :02:29.as the topside, as it's known, is lifted off Brent Delta,

:02:30. > :02:32.and onto the world's largest construction ship.

:02:33. > :02:34.The Pioneering Spirit was designed and built exactly

:02:35. > :02:45.380 metres long and 124 metres wide across two hulls,

:02:46. > :02:48.it's the size of an Olympics' worth of sports pitches and

:02:49. > :02:52.Speaking to the BBC before the world-record lift,

:02:53. > :02:58.the captain of the ship says his is a dream job.

:02:59. > :03:02.It is one of the dreams to be the captain of a ship like this.

:03:03. > :03:07.This is as big as you can get in the world at the moment.

:03:08. > :03:10.The Brent Oil Field, more than 100 miles north-east of the Shetlands,

:03:11. > :03:12.has been producing oil since the 1970s.

:03:13. > :03:18.During its peak, half a million barrels a day.

:03:19. > :03:22.Now, the oil field is coming to the end of its economic life,

:03:23. > :03:23.and these monoliths are being decommissioned,

:03:24. > :03:32.The northern North Sea in particular is a very harsh environment.

:03:33. > :03:34.The platforms are very big and large integrated platforms.

:03:35. > :03:37.They are much bigger typically than what you would find

:03:38. > :03:41.in the southern North Sea and shallow basins around the world.

:03:42. > :03:45.They are heavier and more difficult to decommission.

:03:46. > :03:49.It is a process that will be worth at least

:03:50. > :03:56.?40 billion in the years ahead, but it is not without challenges.

:03:57. > :03:58.Shell, which operates the oil field, says it learned lessons

:03:59. > :04:01.from the furore from the scrapping of the storage

:04:02. > :04:08.Delta's three concrete legs will remain in place,

:04:09. > :04:16.as the company believes removing them is too dangerous and expensive.

:04:17. > :04:23.We will see 100 decommissioned in the coming years as these giants

:04:24. > :04:25.of the once-so-vital Brent Oil Field are brought ashore to die.

:04:26. > :04:35.It is about to get extremely busy here. Over to you, you own and run

:04:36. > :04:39.the salvage yard, how ambitious is the project from your perspective?

:04:40. > :04:43.Very excited about it. We have been involved in this process for 30

:04:44. > :04:47.years. I have been looking forward to this happening. I have been

:04:48. > :04:53.involved with this client for three years. Similar to what we have done

:04:54. > :04:57.in the past. They have been piecemeal previously were as this is

:04:58. > :05:01.a complete topside. Challenging but interesting. How will you do it?

:05:02. > :05:07.What will happen to the materials? We look to try to conserve the best

:05:08. > :05:12.energy balance, we look to reuse things in their current form, such

:05:13. > :05:18.as the living platforms and pumps and such. We look for reusable steel

:05:19. > :05:23.like staircases. The remaining material goes back into the

:05:24. > :05:30.steelworks and comes back out as cars and fridges. We have been using

:05:31. > :05:36.this figure of 98.5% being reused or recycled, is that realistic? To

:05:37. > :05:43.date, with the ships and oil rigs, we have achieved 98.4%. I have told

:05:44. > :05:47.the lads, I want 98.5. We tried to get 100% at certain things you

:05:48. > :05:58.cannot recycle, like as Bas Dost has to be buried in the land. -- like

:05:59. > :06:04.asbestos. We have other structures with other clients offshore as well.

:06:05. > :06:09.Thank you very much. Due to come in on the high tide later on today. It

:06:10. > :06:15.has been transferred onto a barge. That has brought it the 300 miles

:06:16. > :06:24.from the North North Sea. The barge is called the Iron Lady and it will

:06:25. > :06:28.turn as it brings Brent Delta here to its final resting place.

:06:29. > :06:34.I expect it will look quite dramatic. The weather has turned as

:06:35. > :06:42.well, hasn't it? A bit chilly, I must say. Not quite up there with

:06:43. > :06:46.Carol's weather, a bit chilly! We'll be speaking to the bestselling

:06:47. > :08:21.author of A Monster Calls, Whether it's writing about grief

:08:22. > :08:35.or teenage relationships, our next guest doesn't shy away

:08:36. > :08:37.from tackling the difficult subjects when writing

:08:38. > :08:39.for his young adult readers. Patrick Ness is not only

:08:40. > :08:41.a best-selling author but has written and produced his own

:08:42. > :08:43.Hollywood film and Doctor Patrick's latest work

:08:44. > :08:59.is a deeply personal novel. It is called Release and it is about

:09:00. > :09:05.a young boy called Adam. Is it blue sleep based on some of your

:09:06. > :09:10.experiences? -- is it loosely based. There are a few situations that were

:09:11. > :09:17.exactly the same. It is about being a gay teenager in quite a religious

:09:18. > :09:21.American family and how that makes you feel yourself and how it affects

:09:22. > :09:26.your relationships and also how you can conquer that. It starts on a day

:09:27. > :09:35.where everything goes wrong. Everything goes wrong. Mrs

:09:36. > :09:40.Dalloway... That inspired you question that very much. If you are

:09:41. > :09:45.going to scare yourself, do something like Mrs Dalloway. A

:09:46. > :09:50.single day, starts with going out to buy the flowers, ends with a party,

:09:51. > :09:55.just like Mrs Dalloway. What a fantastically intense way to look at

:09:56. > :10:02.what it is like to be a teenager, every day feels that intense. Adam

:10:03. > :10:12.is in it, there is also, I don't know how much I can give away...

:10:13. > :10:15.Careful not! There is a ghost. Mrs Dalloway has a ghost and I had to

:10:16. > :10:21.have one and there is a ghost who comes out of the lake. Catherine is

:10:22. > :10:24.the name of the ghost and Adam is the hero and they are both fighting

:10:25. > :10:28.an idea that if you have been told all of your life even implicitly

:10:29. > :10:32.that you are less than, what does that mean when you hand over your

:10:33. > :10:35.power in a relationship and you date the wrong people first off because

:10:36. > :10:41.you think you do not deserve any better. They bumped off each other's

:10:42. > :10:48.lives. What do your family think of it? They have not read it yet. They

:10:49. > :10:56.tend to be off and on about reading my books and that is OK. No family

:10:57. > :11:01.deserves to have an author in them! They can read it, they don't have

:11:02. > :11:07.to, it is all fine. At the start, the parents say, is he a little bit

:11:08. > :11:14.gay? That actually happen to me. In front of you? 12 years old, I was

:11:15. > :11:19.saying, my sixth-grade teacher was that Sun had gone to dance classes,

:11:20. > :11:25.I thought, that sounds fun. My mum said, do you think he might be a bit

:11:26. > :11:30.gay? A different time. People do their best. Do not always get it
