:01:13. > :01:16.across Europe was the highest on record in the first three

:01:17. > :01:19.months of the year - and the Uk's got the third highest

:01:20. > :01:23.number of recalls in Europe. The biggest culprit has

:01:24. > :01:25.been faulty airbags. I'll have more details

:01:26. > :01:26.on why, later. In sport, Chelsea are one win away

:02:04. > :02:07.nonetheless, there will still be some sunshine, particularly so in

:02:08. > :02:10.the West was a bit of rain today across the Northern Isles and not

:02:11. > :02:12.filling is called dump the east coast. All have more details on all

:02:13. > :02:14.of that in about 15 minutes. The Conservatives have confirmed

:02:15. > :02:18.they intend to cap energy prices for millions of households

:02:19. > :02:21.if they win the election. They claim the move

:02:22. > :02:23.could save consumers up Writing in the Sun,

:02:24. > :02:29.the Prime Minister says "rip off energy prices" hit people

:02:30. > :02:31.on the lowest incomes hardest. But Labour says the cap would not

:02:32. > :02:35.stop bills rising and the pledge has Here's our political

:02:36. > :02:51.correspondent Ben Wright. Energy prices have been hot politics

:02:52. > :02:54.sometime. At the last election, Labour promised a two-year price

:02:55. > :02:58.freeze. Now the Conservatives want to intervene in an edge imaging

:02:59. > :03:03.market they say doesn't work for most part -- people. Writing in the

:03:04. > :03:06.Sun, the Prime Minister says rip-off prices hit people on the lowest

:03:07. > :03:10.incomes hardest. Switching to another tariff or supplier often

:03:11. > :03:14.brings bills down that seven out of ten households are on standard

:03:15. > :03:17.variable rates which are usually more expensive than other plans on

:03:18. > :03:22.offer so the Conservatives would give Ofgem at the power to impose a

:03:23. > :03:30.price ceiling for customers on the standard rates. The B recession six

:03:31. > :03:35.months. -- the cap would be reset. It would say people around ?100 per

:03:36. > :03:40.year. Theresa May hinted at the move at the conference. That's why when

:03:41. > :03:43.markets are dysfunctional, we should be prepared to intervene. Where

:03:44. > :03:46.companies are exploiting the failures of the market in which they

:03:47. > :03:52.operate, where consumer choices are inhibited I deliberately complex

:03:53. > :03:57.pricing structures, we must set the market right. It's just not right

:03:58. > :04:01.that two thirds of energy customers are stuck on the most expensive

:04:02. > :04:06.tariffs. The Conservatives say their price cap would allow competition to

:04:07. > :04:09.continue in the market that the Lib Dems said the policy would damage

:04:10. > :04:13.investment in energy while Labour said a cap would not stop prices

:04:14. > :04:17.increasing. British Gas owner warned that the move to move -- could lead

:04:18. > :04:19.to higher bills. Chris Mason is our political

:04:20. > :04:33.correspondent in Westminster this Other conservative tanks approaching

:04:34. > :04:38.the Labour lawn on this one? I think they are. As you might expect, I

:04:39. > :04:43.have been perusing my bookshelf once again. I will present you with an

:04:44. > :04:47.exhibit from my bestseller list. This is from two years ago. Looking

:04:48. > :04:53.at the Labour manifesto. What does it say on page 25? Labour will

:04:54. > :04:57.freeze energy bills until 2017, it says, ensuring prices will fall and

:04:58. > :05:02.not right and give the regulator the power to cut bills this winter. At

:05:03. > :05:11.the time, David Cameron thought it was proof that Ed Miliband, the Zen

:05:12. > :05:16.Labour leader, operated in a Marxist universe. And then up pops a policy

:05:17. > :05:19.that looks remarkably similar. The contenders is -- the Conservatives

:05:20. > :05:23.say it is different because it will be the in the power of the

:05:24. > :05:26.regulator, rather than politicians, to set the cap. They are trying to

:05:27. > :05:30.suggest there are some differences that what I looked through this

:05:31. > :05:38.morning, I can't see a vast difference. It also shows you how

:05:39. > :05:43.different a Conservative instinct Theresa May has been David Cameron.

:05:44. > :05:48.Theresa May made the point that she thinks it is the right thing to do.

:05:49. > :05:54.One other quick thing to show you, Dan, this morning, from the campaign

:05:55. > :06:02.trail yesterday, the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn out and about, take a

:06:03. > :06:18.look at this. Strong and stable bananas? Strong and stable bananas.

:06:19. > :06:25.Voter offering Jeremy Corbyn some bananas. Trying to fend off the

:06:26. > :06:31.bananas. Jeremy Corbyn saw the funny side of it. That ubiquitous

:06:32. > :06:39.Conservative slogan, even being attached to fruit being handed to

:06:40. > :06:44.the opposition. Disaster avoided. Let's be clear, that is mine. You're

:06:45. > :06:51.not happy with me touching the breakfast banana, are you? The

:06:52. > :06:53.striking thing was that the lady was saying, no, take away the bananas.

:06:54. > :06:55.Remove anything we don't know about. And just after seven

:06:56. > :06:57.we'll be speaking to Energy Secretary Greg Clarke

:06:58. > :07:03.about the Conservatives' proposal. Statins are taken by millions

:07:04. > :07:08.of people in the UK every year to reduce the risk of heart

:07:09. > :07:10.attacks and strokes. But a new multi-million-pound trial

:07:11. > :07:13.launched today will assess whether the well known drug may

:07:14. > :07:16.also help those those MS affects the central

:07:17. > :07:19.nervous system and can It's thought statins could help slow

:07:20. > :07:39.the progression of the condition Statins, the scrap to 6 million of

:07:40. > :07:49.us to a year to lower cholesterol but a new trial will test whether it

:07:50. > :08:01.will help tackle a new condition. It will disrupt messages travelling

:08:02. > :08:09.along nerve fibres, MS. Half of sufferers of MS will not be able to

:08:10. > :08:16.slow its progress. This trial, is aimed at them. If we can prove it

:08:17. > :08:22.has a long-term impact for people with MS, we note that you record,

:08:23. > :08:26.it's extremely cheap so it can be quickly made available to everyone

:08:27. > :08:30.who needs it and it won't put a big hole in the NHS's budget. Previous

:08:31. > :08:35.smaller study suggested statins did have an impact. This trial will

:08:36. > :08:40.provide much more information but at six years long, there will be some

:08:41. > :08:43.time before they know how effective statins can be.

:08:44. > :08:45.A thirty-five-year-old man will appear in court today

:08:46. > :08:48.in connection with a dog attack on a two-year-old girl

:08:49. > :08:51.The toddler suffered injuries to her head and body

:08:52. > :08:53.when several dogs got into the garden where

:08:54. > :08:57.She's in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

:08:58. > :09:01.Andrew McGowan has been accused of being in charge of four dogs that

:09:02. > :09:10.The former acting US Attorney General has revealed

:09:11. > :09:13.she warned the Trump administration that its National Security Advisor

:09:14. > :09:16.was open to Russian blackmail, 18 days before he resigned.

:09:17. > :09:21.Sally Yates told Senators General Michael Flynn had

:09:22. > :09:24.lied about his contacts with the Russian ambassador.

:09:25. > :09:27.He resigned after it emerged he had misled the White House.

:09:28. > :09:29.But President Trump has described the allegation of collusion

:09:30. > :09:44.Faulty airbags, steering and fuel issues are just some of the problems

:09:45. > :09:47.that led to the highest ever rate of car-related recalls in Europe

:09:48. > :09:55.in the first three months of this year.

:09:56. > :10:03.Tell me about recall. They were obviously triggered due to safety

:10:04. > :10:07.concerns. In the first three months of this year, 122 recall is right

:10:08. > :10:11.across Europe. That is a record high. A lot of those, 80% of those,

:10:12. > :10:19.are from people utterly getting injuries in some point and then

:10:20. > :10:35.complaints being made and then recall is being announced. The

:10:36. > :10:41.Takata, the company involved,. Last time a bigger recall, not many

:10:42. > :10:46.people go for it. If you look at the list of cars that have been

:10:47. > :10:56.recalled, some of them, the BMW three series, only 1.5 % of people

:10:57. > :11:03.completed the recall. Another one, there was 60 or 70% of those people

:11:04. > :11:08.making the recall is. It varies. Toyota airbags, only a quarter of

:11:09. > :11:12.people completed the recall. There seems to be a bit of apathy out

:11:13. > :11:20.there. The manufacturers would like to think they would do it 100%. Is

:11:21. > :11:28.quite an efficient system, I had to. --I have had to Mac. -- two.

:11:29. > :11:31.A woman who alleges she was sexually harassed at Fox News has asked UK

:11:32. > :11:34.media regulators to block 21st Century Fox's planned

:11:35. > :11:37.Ofcom is investigating whether it's in the public interest

:11:38. > :11:40.for the Murdoch-owned company to take full ownership of Sky.

:11:41. > :11:48.For the threats we face today are... Over two decades, a mixture of

:11:49. > :11:53.conspiracy and nationalism has made Rupert Murdoch's Fox News channel

:11:54. > :11:59.made the -- be the most watched cable channel in America. But this

:12:00. > :12:08.scandal has shaken to the core. The news boss departed last year. Bill

:12:09. > :12:16.O'Reilly left this year. They are facing sexual abuse allegations. The

:12:17. > :12:24.most important men at Fox are out. For the Murdochs, it could be worse.

:12:25. > :12:28.They tried to take control of Sky. Bec declined an interview request so

:12:29. > :12:39.I said hello to the boss as he left work in Manhattan? Are you worried

:12:40. > :12:43.about Ofcom? Hello? Wendy Walsh filed a complaint against Bill

:12:44. > :12:49.O'Reilly by phone. They flew to London specifically to explain to

:12:50. > :13:01.Ofcom why do Couch they don't think the Murdochs should own it Sky

:13:02. > :13:05.outright. Fox had appointed women to several senior positions since then.

:13:06. > :13:08.An incredibly rare example of one of the first printed pages has been

:13:09. > :13:10.unearthed at the University of Reading.

:13:11. > :13:12.These pages were produced by William Caxton on one

:13:13. > :13:14.of the first printing presses in about 1476.

:13:15. > :13:17.They'd been lying unrecognised in the university's archives,

:13:18. > :13:20.but they'll go on public display from today for the first time

:13:21. > :13:30.since they were sold from his print shop in the 15th Century.

:13:31. > :13:46.So many marvellous things about that. It had read as well as

:13:47. > :13:53.black-and-white! Latch red. -- red. When you open the books and smell

:13:54. > :14:04.it, it's beautiful. A good aroma. Did you have to wear gloves? Idea. I

:14:05. > :14:12.had to be very careful. --I did. That is here with a look at the

:14:13. > :14:18.sport. That picture tells the story, doesn't it? Look at the despair on

:14:19. > :14:26.the Middlesbrough player's face. The other guy heading to the final. For

:14:27. > :14:28.Chelsea fans, all eyes turn to Friday night.

:14:29. > :14:31.A win at West Brom on Friday night will give Chelsea

:14:32. > :14:35.They beat Middlesbrough three nil at Stamford Bridge last night

:14:36. > :14:37.with goals from Diego Costa, Marcos Alonso and midfielder

:14:38. > :14:40.Nemanja Matic - and that extends their lead over second

:14:41. > :14:44.But the defeat for Middlesbrough means they are relegated

:14:45. > :14:46.from the Premier League after just one season.

:14:47. > :14:49.It's another blow for North-East football, after Sunderland were also

:14:50. > :14:52.Former Portsmouth midfielder Sulley Muntari says Fifa and Uefa

:14:53. > :14:56.He walked off during a game in Italy after receiving abuse

:14:57. > :15:03.And he's told the BBC he'd do it 'again'.

:15:04. > :15:06.And Maria Sharapova has been beaten by Eugenie Bouchard,

:15:07. > :15:10.the woman who called her a cheater, in what was labelled a grudge match

:15:11. > :15:14.The two players did shake hands at the end though.

:15:15. > :15:23.Interesting, Eugenie Duscher said she had loads of support.

:15:24. > :15:27.Interesting. Lots of people coming up to say good luck. You know, you

:15:28. > :15:33.need to beat Maria Sharapova, after what she did.

:15:34. > :15:44.We are talking about a dry winter causing water shortages. Tell us

:15:45. > :15:54.about that. Good morning. Yes. The first chart I will show you shows

:15:55. > :15:58.April rainfall we have had. This shows a huge swathes of the British

:15:59. > :16:05.Isles have had less rainfall than we would expect in April. An example, 2

:16:06. > :16:12.places here have had the driest April recorded. 3 millimetres. In

:16:13. > :16:26.Edinburgh we would normally expect 40.5 during April. 3. Only 6 in

:16:27. > :16:31.these places. We are far down on what we would expect. May has been

:16:32. > :16:37.dry as well. Is their rainfall on the horizon? Yes. The latter part of

:16:38. > :16:46.the week, Thursday and Friday, heavy downpours. Some thundery. Before

:16:47. > :16:54.that, a fairly quiet start. This far this month, 5.8 in Kew Gardens.

:16:55. > :17:00.Nothing in Edinburgh. And nothing in Edinburgh today as well. High

:17:01. > :17:06.pressure dominates. Things are quiet. Today, cloudier than

:17:07. > :17:09.yesterday. A chilly start in western Scotland and western parts of

:17:10. > :17:16.Northern Ireland. Patchy rain and drizzle. We have lost the brisk wind

:17:17. > :17:21.coming in from the North Sea. A gentle breeze today. Not as cold.

:17:22. > :17:28.All the cloud we have in central and eastern areas. To the west,

:17:29. > :17:33.sunshine. Through the day, some of the cloud will be eroded from the

:17:34. > :17:38.west. Some of it will hang around. Some of us starting with sunshine. 2

:17:39. > :17:42.differences. The rain and the Northern Isles, England Scotland,

:17:43. > :17:48.and the difference in the field to the weather in the east coast. The

:17:49. > :17:55.temperatures are not different to the past few days. Temperatures

:17:56. > :18:01.today, 15- 16 degrees. Through the evening and overnight, cloud. It is

:18:02. > :18:04.eroding. Patchy rain and drizzle in the Northern Isles. Some getting

:18:05. > :18:11.into the far north of mainland Scotland. Breezy here. Clear sky

:18:12. > :18:16.overnight. These are towns and cities. Not as cold. The countryside

:18:17. > :18:25.it will be. Frost in the countryside. Tomorrow, where we have

:18:26. > :18:28.had clear skies by night, clear by day. A fair bit of sunshine

:18:29. > :18:34.tomorrow. That is away from parts of the north-east where there will be

:18:35. > :18:38.more cloud. Again, more rain. Temperature-wise, between 10 and

:18:39. > :18:44.about 17 Celsius. Thursday. This is where we see the change. A system

:18:45. > :18:48.coming up from the near continent bringing in some rain and heavy

:18:49. > :18:52.showers. Some of which later in the day will be thundery. It will feel

:18:53. > :18:57.warmer. Humid as well for some. North of that, more dry and bright.

:18:58. > :19:02.The rain will advance during the course of Friday as it heads north.

:19:03. > :19:10.We will try to catch it. See you in half an hour. And now the papers. We

:19:11. > :19:17.are talking about energy prices. We are. The difference between a cap

:19:18. > :19:21.and a freeze. They are both interventions into the energy

:19:22. > :19:28.market. Labour suggested something similar 4 years ago. This was the

:19:29. > :19:31.Daily Mail in the past. Fixing energy prices and grabbing land and

:19:32. > :19:40.boosting the minimum wage. This is from 2013. This is the Daily Mail

:19:41. > :19:47.today after Theresa May's pledged to cap tariffs. ?100 off your energy

:19:48. > :19:55.bill. Theresa May pledges to cap rip off energy prices. Just a reminder

:19:56. > :20:00.of the filter that is used on some stories. The front page of The Daily

:20:01. > :20:07.Telegraph. They are talking about the anger as energy prices rise by

:20:08. > :20:15.37%. Unfair increases before the Tories bring in this price cap. And

:20:16. > :20:21.prices could be driven up even higher by reducing competition. We

:20:22. > :20:30.will speak to Greg Clarke about all of that later to get clarification.

:20:31. > :20:34.If you are watching The One Show tonight, Mr and Mrs May will be

:20:35. > :20:39.together for the first time on television. No questions are allowed

:20:40. > :20:50.to be known beforehand. A genuine chinwag. As on BBC. Like that

:20:51. > :20:56.question "How do you sleep at night?" The Times. Backlash over the

:20:57. > :21:03.energy cap. And the couple killed in the Boston flat in Massachusetts.

:21:04. > :21:12.They were killed by an anaesthetist in the UK. Secret Tory plot to bring

:21:13. > :21:15.back foxhunting. The Guardian. Jeremy Corbyn saying his top

:21:16. > :21:20.priority is to build more council houses and regulation of the private

:21:21. > :21:31.rental sector. Now to use. You have the front pages. The business pages.

:21:32. > :21:35.The owners of British Gas, a lot relies on our savings and pensions.

:21:36. > :21:43.They said they may consider cutting dividends to withstand the knock-on

:21:44. > :21:54.effects of prices being capped. Back of the queue, The Sun, how to get

:21:55. > :22:00.the fastest supermarket line. Look at the checkout staff, if they are

:22:01. > :22:12.slow or chatty, go to another till. I like the Jackie till. In the

:22:13. > :22:22.numbers. -- chatty till. Always go left. I always go back to the

:22:23. > :22:26.entrance. Deep thinking. An interesting system. My favourite

:22:27. > :22:32.read in The Telegraph. The only female Muslim to take charge in a

:22:33. > :22:37.football match in Britain. A really sparky lady. She says she has

:22:38. > :22:41.received a little bit of racial abuse, but not as much as you think.

:22:42. > :22:48.She says the main problem for her is bad sportsmanship. If people need to

:22:49. > :22:58.fight, they need to get on a boxing ring, according to her. She does

:22:59. > :23:01.keepy uppies at half-time to calm them down. She says the best

:23:02. > :23:09.philosophy for anyone is to be good at your job and people will trust

:23:10. > :23:31.you. How do you like your eggs? Poached. Fried. I am firmly in the

:23:32. > :23:35.poached camp. What about cloud? That's the rage in LA. You fluff it

:23:36. > :23:38.up with water and put it in the oven. You will end up with this

:23:39. > :23:42.wonderful creation which is all of the rage in Los Angeles. One of the

:23:43. > :23:46.wonderful things about eggs as they are quick to cook. You will have

:23:47. > :23:53.seen Louise shaking her head the whole time. Cloud eggs. Scrambled is

:23:54. > :23:57.hard enough. That is too far. It is all about poached. Good morning to

:23:58. > :24:00.everyone watching Breakfast. Britain's green and pleasant land

:24:01. > :24:03.isn't looking so lush at the moment after the driest winter

:24:04. > :24:05.in almost 20 years. During April, some parts

:24:06. > :24:08.of the UK have had the lowest rainfall in April

:24:09. > :24:11.on record and if it continues it could become a real

:24:12. > :24:13.cause for concern. Breakfast's John Maguire

:24:14. > :24:28.is at Bewl reservoir in Kent Good morning. Tell us what is going

:24:29. > :24:31.on. It is lovely. Carol is right. It has been extremely dry, the driest

:24:40. > :24:48.the earth around the Reservoir. You feel you should way cricket on it.

:24:49. > :24:55.It is vast. 200 million people get their drinking water from here, Bewl

:24:56. > :25:00.Reservoir. It is at about 71%. Whether or not you feel that is a

:25:01. > :25:07.problem, there are other reservoirs owned by Southern Water. There is a

:25:08. > :25:11.lot of water. The best thing to say from their perspective, the water

:25:12. > :25:18.companies, is that they are optimistically cautious, I suppose.

:25:19. > :25:20.I will talk more about that later. But now for the impact this dry

:25:21. > :25:29.weather is having. At long last it is raining in

:25:30. > :25:32.Suffolk. But it is not what you think. Keeping these fields

:25:33. > :25:36.irrigated is complex and expensive at the best of times. But with such

:25:37. > :25:41.little rain recently, it is really tough. These have been in since the

:25:42. > :25:47.middle of January so they are only 3 months old. What we are looking for

:25:48. > :25:53.is obviously a nice, long, current. It needs water? It needs water. --

:25:54. > :25:59.carrot. And as you can see, it has already had 2 inches of water added

:26:00. > :26:05.to the soil. They have built 2 large reservoirs, but it takes 2 years to

:26:06. > :26:11.fill up. They are arguing that the water is not fit for purpose. We

:26:12. > :26:16.never know when we are going to get a dry summer to be if we do and move

:26:17. > :26:20.into a second really dry winter, then we have real concerns here,

:26:21. > :26:28.because we will have limited ability to fill the reservoirs. Andrew will

:26:29. > :26:35.expect to harvest around 2 tons of carrots from this 100 acre field. He

:26:36. > :26:40.is watering it, but still the soil is so dry. Look at that as I rub it

:26:41. > :26:47.in my hand in the wind is blowing it away. Recent years have seen the

:26:51. > :26:58.testament to what should lay below. But instead it is arid. No 1 here

:26:59. > :27:02.remembers anything quite like it. We have just had the driest winter in

:27:10. > :27:12.what will be called Eddington, a new university being built by the

:28:07. > :28:08.in 2012 after that after the couple of weeks of dry weather we had for

:28:09. > :28:17.the Olympics thankfully. After this, we will have water

:28:18. > :28:21.saving tips, because people want to be aware of just how dry it has

:28:22. > :28:27.been. As you heard in the film there, if the dry weather continues

:28:28. > :28:32.for much longer, well, that is when the issues will really start to kick

:41:17. > :41:19.Andy Murray plays later but Dan Evans is out.

:42:56. > :43:01.There is a long delay on the line said it will be a bit of a gap

:43:02. > :43:05.between the questions and answers. Can you tell us exactly what has

:43:06. > :43:13.happened over the last few days? Well, over the weekend, 82 of the

:43:14. > :43:19.secondaries cool girls that were kidnapped from Chibok were released

:43:20. > :43:25.by Boko Haram. -- schoolgirls. It followed negotiations with the

:43:26. > :43:37.International Red Cross and some NGOs. It was for a swap for five

:43:38. > :43:41.members of the Boko Haram group. They were brought here on Sunday

:43:49. > :43:51.kept at a security facility where they are undergoing medical checkups

:43:52. > :43:57.and treatment. Our viewers might remember that there were a number of

:43:58. > :44:01.girls, I think 21, released back in October that there had been a number

:44:02. > :44:04.of concerns about whether they have been able to integrate back into

:44:15. > :44:18.21 girls have still being held by the authorities. The government

:44:19. > :44:26.wants to provide psychosocial therapy to them and there are also

:44:27. > :44:29.fears of them for their safety because over the years, they have

:44:30. > :44:34.become famous because of the pressure put on the government to

:44:35. > :44:39.get these girls released so I'm afraid this 82 will have to go

:44:40. > :44:44.through the same process before they will rejoin their families. The 21

:44:45. > :44:50.are still with the government. Now, the government is in the process of

:44:51. > :44:54.reuniting his 82 with their family members and after that reunion, I'm

:44:55. > :44:55.afraid they will have to remain with the authorities for some time to

:44:56. > :45:09.come. OK, a huge job ahead. We have been talking about the fact

:45:10. > :45:15.there has not been as much rain as normally. We have been lurking about

:51:19. > :51:26.then it is to see which airline links first. -- blinks. You get the

:51:27. > :51:32.same with hotels. The prices rise the second time of searching. That

:51:33. > :51:39.is because of cookies. They are watching you, aren't they? They

:51:40. > :51:44.think that, but I have never seen any proof of that. If you sit down

:51:45. > :51:48.with 2 computers, 1 with loads of cookies because I have been

:51:49. > :51:53.searching a lot, and another that is completely clean, we will see, but I

:51:54. > :51:58.don't think anyone could demonstrated to me. I will change my

:51:59. > :52:20.tune if they could. -- demonstrate it. Thank you very much for that.

:52:21. > :52:23.Keep your eye out. But whatever you do, once you have bought them, don't

:52:24. > :52:29.look again in case it goes down. Good advice. That is the same as not

:52:30. > :52:30.looking at your exam after you have done the exam.

:52:31. > :52:32.Now, they say you can't choose your family.

:52:33. > :52:35.But when it came to casting her on-screen mum, comedian,

:52:36. > :52:37.Amy Schumer, knew exactly who she wanted to call,

:52:38. > :52:39.Hollywood legend and Oscar-winner, Goldie Hawn.

:52:40. > :52:42.In Snatched they play a mother and daughter who are kidnapped

:52:43. > :52:44.during a once in a lifetime trip to South America.

:52:45. > :52:47.I met them both to talk about modern mother-daughter relationships

:52:48. > :52:55.and why Goldie was persuaded to return to the big screen.

:52:56. > :53:05.Goldie Hawn, it has been some time since we have seen you in a movie.

:53:06. > :53:14.What is it like coming back? A lot of fun. It was a good feeling. Look

:53:15. > :53:20.our fine you were, Mum. Pack your bags, we are going to South America.

:53:21. > :53:25.Absolutely not. You need 2 years to plan a vacation. You don't do

:53:26. > :53:33.anything fun any more. Look at these. I'm a bit. That is

:53:34. > :53:37.frightening. It is well observed. It is a great look at the mother-

:53:38. > :53:44.daughter relationship. Was it important to make this movie for

:53:45. > :53:50.you? I made TrainWreck about my father. This was about my mother. We

:53:51. > :53:54.wanted it to be laugh out loud funny. But it was important to have

:53:55. > :54:00.a look at the mother- daughter relationship. It is a very powerful

:54:01. > :54:06.1. And it is very honest. Lots of relationships will be similar to

:54:07. > :54:10.this relationship. Absolutely. The mother has complete control for a

:54:11. > :54:13.period of time. Then when the daughter wants to come out on be

:54:14. > :54:18.individual herself, it is very concerning for the mother. The

:54:19. > :54:22.daughter doesn't want to be anything like the mother, I want to be

:54:23. > :54:27.totally different. All of this is going on, and the mother is thinking

:54:28. > :54:32.that you were my baby and I need you more than you need me now. I can't

:54:33. > :54:37.believe you talked me into this. I should have listened to you. I love

:54:38. > :54:44.you. This is great but we need to get out of here. Specifically, and

:54:45. > :54:52.you address it in the movie, the selfieness and all of that, things

:54:53. > :54:57.going viral, does it make it difficult for you? I feel bad for

:54:58. > :55:01.children growing up. I feel grateful that social media did not exist when

:55:02. > :55:07.I was a teenager because I would definitely have had even more

:55:08. > :55:11.regrets than I have. Were you thinking about that when you made

:55:12. > :55:20.the movie? I think ego is there from the beginning. There is no... I

:55:21. > :55:25.mean, you don't need social media to have an ego issue, or the need to be

:55:26. > :55:29.seen or loved or anything like that. But I do think it is an obsession

:55:30. > :55:34.today like I have never, ever seen. Would you go on a road trip like

:55:35. > :55:39.this with your mother? I have had a lot. But the vacations I took with

:55:40. > :55:44.her were because I was so broke and your mother will take you on a free

:55:45. > :55:48.trip and give you food and drinks. Not just to be with her? That is

:55:49. > :55:56.what you do when you are ready poor kid. So, now, when we spend time

:55:57. > :56:07.together, it is a choice. Is your mother jealous of Goldie Hawn?

:56:08. > :56:14.Loving Goldie Hawn was a family affair. My parents were ecstatic.

:56:15. > :56:22.They have not met Goldie Hawn yet, but they will have 30 seconds with

:56:23. > :56:24.her. Don't touch her. She is mine. No, my mother is just really, really

:56:25. > :56:34.happy for me. More of that later on. Sometimes when we do interviews, it

:56:35. > :56:41.looks like it is a fake friendship. That did not look like 1. The film

:56:42. > :56:46.is very funny. The film is very honest about how mothers and

:56:47. > :56:49.daughters feel about each other. Do you see a similar relationship with

:56:50. > :56:55.your daughter? I am a mother. It is really, really interesting. They are

:56:56. > :00:20.not fake friends. Good to clear that up. Snatched is in cinemas

:00:21. > :00:23.Until then, more on the website of the usual address.

:00:24. > :00:25.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:01:31. > :01:32.The biggest culprit has been faulty airbags.

:01:33. > :01:34.I'll have more details on why, later.

:01:35. > :01:37.In sport, Chelsea are one win away from the Premier League title.

:01:38. > :01:38.After comfortably beating Middlesbrough.

:01:39. > :01:44.That also means Boro go straight back down to the Championship.

:01:45. > :01:47.Also this morning, the mystery disease that's deadly for dogs -

:01:48. > :01:52.we'll hear from the vet calling for urgent research.

:01:53. > :02:04.Today, for many of us, another dry day. The best of the Sunshine will

:02:05. > :02:08.be in the West. A bit more in Central and eastern areas and we

:02:09. > :02:15.have some rain in the forecast. That is patchy rain in Northern Isles.

:02:16. > :02:20.The Conservatives have confirmed they intend to cap energy prices

:02:21. > :02:22.for millions of households if they win the election.

:02:23. > :02:24.They claim the move could save consumers up

:02:44. > :02:45.Energy prices have been hot politics sometime.

:02:49. > :02:58.Now the Conservatives want to intervene in an energy

:03:06. > :03:07.Switching to another tariff or supplier often

:03:11. > :03:12.variable rates which are usually more expensive than other

:03:13. > :03:17.So the Conservatives would give Ofgem the power to impose a price

:03:18. > :03:19.ceiling for customers on these standard rates.

:03:20. > :03:31.The cap would be reset every six months.

:03:32. > :03:33.The Conservatives say it would reduce gas and electricity

:03:34. > :03:37.At last year's Conservative conference, Theresa May hinted

:03:38. > :03:40.That's why where markets are dysfunctional, we should

:04:03. > :04:04.to continue in the market, but the Lib Dems

:04:05. > :04:07.say the policy would damage investment in energy while Labour

:04:08. > :04:09.said a cap would not stop prices increasing.

:08:29. > :08:36.years now. Steering and fuel related injuries as well. The take-up was

:08:37. > :08:41.1.1% in some case? Clearly, some car owners are more apathetic than

:08:42. > :08:47.others. The BMW three series was just 1.5%. The Toyota recall was

:08:48. > :08:58.probably the biggest one in recent memory. You are talking more about

:15:44. > :15:53.underground you cannot see. It is interesting to know that the water

:15:54. > :15:57.around now is the same as from the beginning of the Earth. It is really

:15:58. > :16:02.important we don't waste it. There are different definitions of

:16:03. > :16:07.drought. The government says it is keeping an eye on things. They are

:16:08. > :16:12.urging the consumers to think about that. That is right. The further

:17:40. > :17:47.cautiously optimistic. Look at our beautiful view in Kent. And now for

:17:48. > :17:51.the weather. We have a map with a lot of brown. Absolutely right. Good

:17:52. > :17:59.morning. This map shows April rainfall. If it is brown we have had

:18:00. > :18:04.less than average rainfall for April. Much of it is brown with a

:18:05. > :18:14.couple of anomalies with average or above-average rainfall. We have had

:18:15. > :18:20.the driest April on record in Edinburgh and Kew Gardens. Edinburgh

:18:21. > :18:29.has had 4 millimetres, rather than 40.5 millimetres. They go back a

:18:30. > :18:36.number of years. Kew Gardens, normally, 45.3, now, 6 millimetres.

:18:37. > :18:40.Look at what has happened in May. Kew Gardens has had 5.8 millimetres,

:18:41. > :18:45.almost as much as the whole of April. Edinburgh has had none so

:18:46. > :18:51.far. These figures will change as rain comes our way towards the end

:18:52. > :18:56.of the working week. Not much rain in the forecast today. High-pressure

:18:57. > :19:02.dominates still. Not many isobars. Not very windy. Patchy rain with

:19:03. > :19:05.drizzle in the Northern Isles. Chilli and bright to start in

:19:06. > :19:15.Northern Ireland and much of Scotland. The east coast. Cloud. We

:19:16. > :19:21.are back into the sunshine in the south-west. Although some of us have

:19:22. > :19:25.had a bright start in East Anglia, most will not. The other thing about

:19:26. > :19:29.the weather today if it will not feel as cold without the onshore

:19:30. > :19:34.breeze we have had in the last few days. A lot of cloud in the east.

:19:35. > :19:42.Not especially warm. Highest temperatures further west in the

:19:43. > :19:46.sunshine. A lot of sunshine in the coastal areas with highs of 18

:19:47. > :19:52.degrees. The evening and overnight. This cloud in central areas will

:19:53. > :19:59.melt away, leaving clear skies. That is away from the far north of

:20:00. > :20:04.Scotland. 6-9 is what you can expect in towns and cities. The

:20:05. > :20:10.countryside. Two degrees. Just above or below that. Some of us will see

:20:11. > :20:14.frost. If you are gardening, bear that in mind. Tomorrow, under the

:20:15. > :20:19.clear skies, sunshine. Showery outbreaks of rain in the finals of

:20:20. > :20:23.Scotland. A bit more cloud in the south and east. In the sunshine, it

:20:24. > :20:29.will feel pleasant with highs of 16- 17. Just before I go, I want to tell

:20:30. > :20:35.you a story. The worst drought on record goes to 1976 with the warmest

:20:36. > :20:43.3 months, the worst drought in 150 years. The government decided to

:20:44. > :20:48.appoint a Drought Minister cold Dennis Howell. The day after he was

:20:49. > :20:56.appointed, it rain for 3 months. 1 of us on the sofa remembers that and

:20:57. > :21:01.1 of us does not. I was not here yet. I remember it. We used to have

:21:02. > :21:06.to save the bathwater. I was one-year-old. I remember my mother

:21:07. > :21:11.telling me about how difficult it was. We had to save our bathwater

:21:12. > :21:16.and put it in the garden. Now we are talking about energy prices. We are

:21:17. > :21:26.indeed. Well, listening to that was our

:21:27. > :21:29.political correspondent Chris Mason. Are we any clearer how this

:21:30. > :21:32.could work in practice? Back in 2015 Labour included

:21:33. > :21:35.a promise to freeze energy prices Two years on and the Conservatives

:21:36. > :21:38.say they'll cap prices Greg Clarke is the Energy Secretary

:21:39. > :21:46.and joins us now from Westminster. It was a botched policy. They talked

:21:47. > :21:49.about a freeze. They advertised it in a block of ice. After that the

:21:50. > :21:53.wholesale price of gas and electricity fell. If it had been

:21:54. > :22:01.introduced, people would have paid more than they needed. What we are

:22:02. > :22:03.acting on it is a diagnosis from the competition authority that serves

:22:04. > :22:08.for the standard tariff, the standard variable tariff, the

:22:09. > :22:15.default that people are transferred to a mass they make an active

:22:16. > :22:21.choice, people are being overcharged by ?1.4 billion a year. -- unless.

:22:22. > :22:27.That is what the authorities said. We have a duty to act. We will bring

:22:28. > :22:32.in a cap for default tariffs so we cannot be overcharged like at the

:22:33. > :22:37.moment. When did you last switch? I haven't. One of the reasons, and

:22:38. > :22:43.many will know this, it is quite a hassle to do so. And, in my view, it

:22:44. > :22:50.should not be necessary to have to switch, to have to go through that,

:22:51. > :22:54.simply to avoid being ripped off. I think there should be a safeguard so

:22:55. > :23:00.that if you are loyal to your supplier, if you are someone that

:23:01. > :23:05.does not perhaps have access to the Internet and is not able to haggle

:23:06. > :23:10.with your supplier, then you should pay a bit more than the best deals,

:23:11. > :23:14.but you should not feel, you should not have the reality, that you are

:23:15. > :23:19.paying through the nose for that. You admit you have not switched on

:23:20. > :23:26.but it is a hassle, as you put it. We know how many do not switch and

:23:27. > :23:30.are in the same boat as you. Is that not where the energy should go to

:23:31. > :23:34.and what you should be looking at. Does a cap change that? What it

:23:35. > :23:39.would do is that you would still have vigorous competition and good

:23:40. > :23:45.rates out there for those that scour the Internet for the best deals, and

:23:46. > :23:54.that is good. What the competition authority recognised was that there

:23:55. > :23:59.are really 2 markets. There is competition, but power to those who

:24:00. > :24:05.are loyal to suppliers and who don't have the wherewithal to switch. They

:24:06. > :24:13.are paying, as I say, ?1.4 billion more than they should. And what we

:24:14. > :24:15.are proposing, extending something that the competition authority

:24:16. > :24:22.proposed for people on prepayment visas, is that there should be a

:24:23. > :24:27.maximum. It won't be the cheapest deal on the market. There will still

:24:28. > :24:32.be competition for that, but you should not pay through the nose. It

:24:33. > :24:40.would be great to have some details. How would the cap be set. Is it that

:24:41. > :24:47.has a rate? Is there a percentage? -- does it have a rate? We would ask

:24:48. > :24:50.the energy regulator, Ofgem, to do what they do now for those on

:24:51. > :24:55.prepayment visas, look at the wholesale costs, look at the cost of

:24:56. > :24:58.supplying people through the networks, have a reasonable

:24:59. > :25:05.contribution to costs and profit, and then to set that price as a

:25:06. > :25:09.maximum for the default and standard tariffs. It would be for the

:25:10. > :25:13.regulator to do that. I don't entirely understand. What would it

:25:14. > :25:19.mean for your bill, for example? There would be a maximum. The

:25:20. > :25:24.competition authorities said, as I said, currently ?1.4 billion of

:25:25. > :25:30.detriment, the difference varies over time. It has been from around

:25:31. > :25:35.?70 to somewhere as much as ?200 difference. The energy regulator

:25:36. > :25:39.would set the maximum level for those default tariffs that people

:25:40. > :25:45.get transferred to if they don't make a switch. So we cannot have the

:25:46. > :25:49.details right now because you are talking about the regulator. What

:25:50. > :25:53.about... It is an important principle that it should not be in

:25:54. > :25:58.my view a politician deciding this is going to be the price of

:25:59. > :26:02.electricity. That was another fault of the aid Miliband proposal. We

:26:03. > :26:05.have a regulator called Ofgem who worried the experts of this. They

:26:06. > :26:10.should be given the power to set this safeguard tariff to make sure

:26:11. > :26:15.people are not ripped off. I am asking on behalf of those at home.

:26:16. > :26:18.They will want to know the details of the pounds in their pocket. Can

:26:19. > :26:25.you guarantee that bills will not go up? Even if there is a cap, can

:26:26. > :26:30.bills go up? The point of getting a regulator to assess his is that if

:26:31. > :26:35.the wholesale price of gas, goes up in world markets, of course you

:26:36. > :26:43.would it record to increase. If it goes down like in the past, you

:26:44. > :26:48.would expect it to go down. That is why we should put it in the hands,

:26:49. > :26:54.and this is what was recommended, to put it in the hands of the

:26:55. > :26:57.regulator. Thank you for your time this morning. I was listening

:26:58. > :27:03.carefully to that, as I am sure you where as well. Here is the manifesto

:27:04. > :27:07.man outside of Westminster. Listening to that detail and the

:27:08. > :27:10.fact that the energy regulator will be setting the price, does that make

:27:11. > :27:16.it clearer about how this policy will work and how different is from

:27:17. > :27:20.the Labour policy? It gives us an insight into the mechanics of how

:27:21. > :27:24.the Conservatives say it will work. But crucially, and we were pushing

:27:25. > :27:27.him on it, we don't know definitively precisely what

:27:28. > :27:34.difference it will make to our bills. On the whole issue of the

:27:35. > :27:38.cut-and-paste job of the Labour Party, this is the manifesto for a

:27:39. > :27:45.couple of years ago after the waving a round of the Tory 1 yesterday,

:27:46. > :27:49.they said Labour would freeze energy bills and they would fall and not

:27:50. > :27:53.rise and they would give the power to cut bills this winter. You were

:27:54. > :28:00.listening to him and so was I. That sounds remarkably similar in terms

:28:01. > :28:05.of the power of the regulator. What is striking, as I said, to come back

:28:06. > :28:08.to the point we were pushing him on, we don't know precisely what

:28:09. > :28:12.difference it will make. What we do know is politically the

:28:13. > :28:18.Conservatives want to be seen to be on the side of us consumers. That of

:28:19. > :28:25.itself is different from the Conservatives of old. Theresa May is

:28:26. > :28:29.more than happy to be seen to be intervening in the market if she

:28:30. > :28:34.thinks it is the right thing to do, which is not very conservative. I am

:28:35. > :28:40.sure that we will see the Labour and Lib Dem Manifesto soon. He will have

:28:41. > :28:46.them for us and we will see them. Yes. If you have any questions or

:28:47. > :28:52.comments after speaking to him about those energy policies from the let

:28:53. > :32:11.us know. Now it is time for the news, weather, and

:32:12. > :32:24.Hello, this is Breakfast with Dan Walker and Louise Minchin.

:32:25. > :32:29.The Conservatives have confirmed they intend to cap energy prices

:32:30. > :32:31.for millions of households if they win the election.

:32:38. > :32:40.energy prices" hit people on the lowest incomes hardest.

:32:41. > :32:43.But Labour says the proposed cap would not stop bills increasing

:32:44. > :32:46.and the pledge has drawn criticism from the energy sector with one

:32:47. > :32:50.senior figure warning that customers could end up losing out.

:32:51. > :32:52.Jeremy Corbyn will formally launch Labour's election campaign today

:32:57. > :32:59.Mr Corbyn, who'll be in Greater Manchester,

:33:00. > :33:01.will say the issue of Brexit is "settled".

:33:02. > :33:04.He'll be joined by the city's new metro mayor Andy Burnham

:33:05. > :33:14.and will focus on Labour's pledge to take on the rich and powerful.

:36:46. > :36:48.said his side showed they deserved to win the league, after moving

:36:49. > :36:51.to within one win of the title. They looked very comfortable

:36:54. > :36:55.at Stamford Bridge - they can become champions

:36:56. > :36:58.with victory at West Bromwich Albion It was very important to win

:36:59. > :37:02.and to exploit their defeat. Another step, another

:37:03. > :37:06.step to win the title. For sure, now it's important to rest

:37:07. > :37:09.very well and to prepare So Chelsea are on the brink

:37:10. > :37:23.of the title - but there was despair for Middlesbrough fans,

:37:24. > :37:26.who've seen their side relegated after just one season back

:37:27. > :37:28.in the Premier League. Some of them made a round trip

:37:29. > :37:32.of over 500 miles to watch The supporters all season

:37:33. > :37:35.have been top class. You see tonight, on a Monday night

:37:36. > :37:38.in London, they travelled again in the thousands and we have

:37:39. > :37:46.to thank them for that because that support, home and away,

:37:47. > :37:49.has been absolutely top class. One thing the supporters

:37:50. > :37:50.deserve is Premier We need to finish the season strong

:37:51. > :37:56.and then reflect over the summer. Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari

:38:07. > :38:09.for Portsmouth and Sunderland, claims racism is "everywhere

:38:10. > :38:10.and getting worse". And he accuses Fifa and Uefa of not

:38:11. > :38:17.caring enough about it. They should be the first

:38:18. > :38:24.people to jump on. We're playing football here,

:38:25. > :38:31.under FIFA, under Uefa. If they had nothing to say about it,

:38:32. > :38:35.probably they didn't have TV But if it is unnecessary

:40:48. > :40:50.and is fully booked with media interviews and has even landed

:40:51. > :41:03.modelling contracts as a result! He looks like he is living the

:42:39. > :42:46.little about --a bit about Fleur who contracted this. She was sick one

:42:47. > :42:53.morning. I didn't think much of it. The day after, she had an

:42:54. > :43:08.intermittent limb. I couldn't see anything. Couldn't see anything in

:43:09. > :43:14.her foot. A lesion appeared was not there was a thorn stuck in there. I

:43:15. > :43:20.took her to the vet and she deteriorated. We will come back to

:43:21. > :43:31.you in a minute, Gabrielle. From what I know about Alabama Rot, it is

:43:32. > :43:38.a typical lesion. Lim at the bottom of their legs,. They might have a

:43:39. > :43:45.bit of a limp. Then they develop kidney failure, vomiting, going off

:43:46. > :44:01.their food. Unfortunately, we still a relatively little about the

:44:02. > :44:07.disease. How quickly did you have to have Fleur put down eventually? From

:44:08. > :44:14.the first symptom which was her being sick to being put to sleep was

:44:15. > :44:19.one week. She deteriorated extremely quickly. They found her kidneys were

:44:20. > :44:31.failing and more legions appeared in her mouth. Then one appeared on her

:44:32. > :44:41.foot. It was extremely fast. Because was awful to see her deteriorate so

:44:42. > :44:52.badly. We are concerned that she wasn't the only one who had it?

:44:53. > :45:04.It's the first question I ask the vet. I will be more concerned during

:45:05. > :45:11.the winter. It seems to be apparent that there is a link with the dogs

:45:12. > :45:17.that have contracted this disease. Bad as of yet, luckily, none of the

:45:18. > :45:24.other dogs have shown any signs. -- but. They are all checked regularly.

:45:25. > :45:30.This is an incredibly rare disorder. Is there anything dog owners... We

:45:31. > :45:33.know there are thousands of people who own dogs watching this morning.

:45:34. > :45:42.What should they be taking care of? You are right. 98 confirmed cases is

:45:43. > :45:47.still 98 more than we want. But we don't want people to panic. Without

:45:48. > :46:02.knowing because of the disease it is to give repetitive advice.

:46:03. > :46:11.People are concerned. If you want to know the geographical location of

:46:12. > :46:18.cases, go on line. There are various tools on the websites to tell you

:46:19. > :46:24.where cases have been. Once you have got Alabama rot, do most dog die

:46:25. > :46:32.from it? Unfortunately, yes. The mortality rate is about 85%. But

:46:33. > :46:40.some make it through. 1 dog made it through and had some puppies

:46:41. > :46:45.afterwards. Does early intervention make a difference? Based on the

:46:46. > :46:53.information we have, we don't know, but it is likely yes. Does it look

:46:54. > :47:03.like anything in particular? It is often quite unique. The skin sores

:47:04. > :47:10.are circular. You can see it looking a bit like an ulcer. It might not

:47:11. > :47:25.look like a simple kite. If it is an unknown reason for a skin sore, go

:47:26. > :47:29.to your vet and let them know as they know about these things now.

:47:30. > :47:34.Thank you for that. Thank you for talking to us this morning. And

:47:35. > :47:38.thank you for showing your dog to us this morning. She's been absolutely

:47:39. > :47:45.angelic. It is nice to see you. The weather. Carol has told us many

:47:46. > :47:49.things. There is rain on the way for some of us on Thursday and Friday.

:47:50. > :47:54.This morning, Weather Watchers have been out in force. This is a

:47:55. > :48:02.beautiful picture of Devon. A lot of cloud. Contrast here. Generally

:48:03. > :48:10.speaking, it will be fairly cloudy. Central parts of the UK has high

:48:11. > :48:13.pressure driving the weather. Not especially windy. That will make it

:48:14. > :48:19.feel different down the east coast today. Under the cloud it will not

:48:20. > :48:26.be as cold because we have lost the wind. Further west, sunny skies.

:48:27. > :48:30.Some of the cloud will be eroded from the west during the day and

:48:31. > :48:33.most of us will see sunshine. Through the afternoon, patchy rain

:48:34. > :48:37.and drizzle in the Northern Isles. Cloud on the far north of men in

:48:38. > :48:48.Scotland. The rest of Scotland and Northern Ireland, sunny. Wales is

:48:49. > :48:53.having a sunny afternoon. In the Midlands, parts of Yorkshire and

:48:54. > :48:57.East Anglia, the south-east, a lot of cloud at times, but here and

:48:58. > :49:04.there, brighter spot. This evening and overnight, hanging on the cloud

:49:05. > :49:10.for a time. It gets washed away. Dry weather overnight. Clear skies.

:49:11. > :49:14.Persistent rain in the far north of Scotland. Temperatures will dip low

:49:15. > :49:23.enough in the countryside for some frost. Around two degrees. Tomorrow

:49:24. > :49:28.morning, bright. Sunshine. Remnants of overnight cloud through the day.

:49:29. > :49:33.Fair weather cloud will develop as well. Blustery in the English

:49:34. > :49:37.Channel. Cloud in the north and east of Scotland. Rainy in the final.

:49:38. > :49:48.Temperatures in the sunshine getting to 17 degrees. -- far north. As we

:49:49. > :49:51.head into Thursday, a change. Systems, from the near continent

:49:52. > :50:00.bringing heavy showers initially across the Channel Islands. In the

:50:01. > :50:10.afternoon, we will see some turning thundery. Humid. North of that,

:50:11. > :50:17.brighter skies. Sunshine. Temperatures up to 90 degrees. As we

:50:18. > :50:22.go from Friday into Saturday and the weekend generally, low pressure. --

:50:23. > :50:26.19. All of it goes anticlockwise. Sucking up warm air from the

:50:27. > :50:33.south-west. That does not mean it will be bone dry at all. Of course,

:50:34. > :50:39.some of us really want some of that rain, as we have been hearing this

:50:40. > :50:44.morning. For gardening and all sorts of things. Thank you very much.

:50:45. > :50:47.The rate of car recalls across Europe was the highest

:50:48. > :50:50.on record in the first three months of the year according

:50:51. > :51:02.You have been looking at various aspects of these recalls and how

:51:03. > :51:08.many take them up. It is not all to do with Volkswagen and issues like

:51:09. > :51:12.that. Good morning. This comes from research from a company called

:51:13. > :51:13.Stericycle. They advise other

:51:14. > :51:15.companies on recalls and keep an eye on how

:51:16. > :51:17.many are happening. They've found there were 122 car

:51:18. > :51:21.recalls across Europe in the first three months of this year,

:51:22. > :51:23.that's the highest number they've recorded and a 31% increase

:51:24. > :51:26.on the previous three months. If we have a look at where

:51:27. > :51:29.those recalls are coming from, top of the table is cars made

:51:30. > :51:33.in Germany with 40 recalls, then France, and the UK has

:51:34. > :51:36.the third highest number of active And you might be surprised

:51:37. > :51:41.to hear most of those, 90%, are related to more luxury cars

:51:42. > :51:44.like Range Rovers and Jaguars. But across Europe, it's actually

:51:45. > :51:47.airbags that are the biggest single cause of these recalls,

:51:48. > :51:49.followed by problems with steering, Jim Holder is from the car

:51:50. > :52:08.magazine, WhatCar? Good morning. Good morning. What is

:52:09. > :52:24.driving this big increase? Car manufacturers share parts and use

:52:25. > :52:28.the same sources. This recall focusses on one manufacturer source.

:52:29. > :52:36.Many have used it. This airbag manufacturer has been the issue.

:52:37. > :52:40.When you look at those getting the recall, it is low. Are people

:52:41. > :52:46.leaving themselves at risk? You should take heed of warnings like

:52:47. > :52:51.this. In this case, in Europe, they have not been any deaths or

:52:52. > :52:56.injuries. Around the world, there has been. It is a potentially

:52:57. > :53:00.serious fault. People are saying don't panic and take your time. But

:53:01. > :53:05.you should get it fixed. Over the morning we have been talking and

:53:06. > :53:11.some of the figures are at 2%, the success rate of recalls coming in.

:53:12. > :53:18.The manufacturers need to make more of an effort to make people aware of

:53:19. > :53:23.the fault is? Absolutely. They do all they can at the moment. They

:53:24. > :53:29.contact owners quickly. Figures do very around Europe. There is strong

:53:30. > :53:34.evidence people react faster and more quickly across Europe. Figures

:53:35. > :53:42.are up to 90%. There are some cases where it is lower than that. The

:53:43. > :53:48.British system does appear to work. If you are 1 of those people hearing

:53:49. > :53:56.this now and have received 1 of these and want to act now, what can

:53:57. > :54:01.you do? You can go to the motor ombudsman website and see if there

:54:02. > :54:07.is a recall on your vehicle by checking on line. They will advise

:54:08. > :54:10.you how long it will take and they will usually make some sort of

:54:11. > :54:17.provision if you are going to be off the road for a while. These things

:54:18. > :54:28.don't expire? No. The UK market. We make a lot of cars it is 1 of our

:54:29. > :54:36.most successful exports. -- cars normally, luxury cars more complex.

:54:37. > :54:41.More goes wrong because of that. What normally happens before a car

:54:42. > :54:48.is launched is it is driven more than 1 million miles by exporter

:54:49. > :54:55.drivers. But there are various combinations that can set off these

:54:56. > :54:59.faults. -- expert drivers. What kind of things could trigger a recall?

:55:00. > :55:04.There was a good case recently where 1 car had to be driven downhill at a

:55:05. > :55:08.certain speed with cruise control on and the driver had to hit the

:55:09. > :55:13.throttle to the full degree it could be. That would trigger an electrical

:55:14. > :55:21.fault. It was a strange combination of factors, but it could be

:55:22. > :55:26.dangerous. Thank you very much, Jim. Hand up in the corner. On behalf of

:55:27. > :55:30.viewers getting in touch, they say they are concerned with recalls they

:55:31. > :55:37.will be charged. You will never be charged for that. Thank you very

:55:38. > :55:44.much. Thank you. People shouting at the television wanting to put in a

:55:45. > :55:46.question. And I can put my hand up. Thank you for getting in touch. Can

:55:47. > :59:06.I say something? Hello, this is Breakfast

:59:07. > :59:46.with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker. A cap on energy bills for millions

:59:47. > :59:48.of households is confirmed It will appear in the party's

:59:49. > :59:52.manifesto later this month - Labour says the plans won't stop

:59:53. > :59:55.prices rising, while some energy firms are warning

:59:56. > :00:13.customers could lose out. Major tests begin to

:00:14. > :00:21.find out if statins - which are taken by millions to cut

:00:22. > :00:24.the risk of heart attacks - could also help people suffering

:00:25. > :00:28.from multiple sclerosis. This is the scene at one reservoir

:00:29. > :00:31.in Kent this morning after some of the driest weather in 20 years -

:00:32. > :00:34.we'll be looking at how farmers and others are coping

:00:35. > :00:38.with a growing water shortage. The rate of car recalls

:00:39. > :00:43.was the highest on record in the first few months of the year,

:00:44. > :00:45.with the biggest culprit In sport, Chelsea are one win away

:00:46. > :00:51.from the Premier League title. After beating Middlesbrough -

:00:52. > :00:54.and sealing their relegation - Chelsea can become champions

:01:06. > :01:08.family affair for us. They are going to have

:01:09. > :01:19.30 seconds with her. We've more from them

:01:20. > :01:33.on their relationship on and off Carroll has the weather.

:01:34. > :01:36.For many it is going to be dry, the exception to that will be across the

:01:37. > :01:39.far north of Scotland and the Northern Isles, where we see some

:01:40. > :01:41.patchy rain. The best of the sunshine will be in the West. I will

:01:42. > :01:43.have more details in 15 minutes. The Conservatives have confirmed

:01:44. > :01:49.they intend to cap energy prices for millions of households

:01:50. > :01:52.if they win the election. They claim the move could

:01:53. > :01:57.save consumers up to ?100 a year. But the Energy Secretary Greg Clark

:01:58. > :02:00.told BBC Breakfast that it still meant prices could go up

:02:01. > :02:07.as well as down and the pledge has drawn criticism from

:02:08. > :02:08.the industry criticism senior figure warning that customers

:02:09. > :02:12.could end up losing out. Our political correspondent

:02:13. > :02:14.Ben Wright reports. Energy prices have been hot

:02:15. > :02:16.politics for some time. At the last election, Labour

:02:17. > :02:20.promised a two year price freeze. Now, the Conservatives

:02:21. > :02:22.want to intervene in an energy market they say doesn't work

:02:23. > :02:25.for most people. Writing in The Sun,

:02:26. > :02:28.the Prime Minister says rip-off energy prices hit people

:02:29. > :02:32.on the lowest incomes hardest. Switching to another tariff

:02:33. > :02:36.or supplier often brings bills down, but seven out of ten households

:02:37. > :02:38.are on standard variable rates, which are usually more expensive

:02:39. > :02:43.than other plans on offer. So, the Conservatives would give

:02:44. > :02:46.Ofgem the power to impose a price ceiling for customers

:02:47. > :02:52.on the standard rates. The cap would be reset every six

:02:53. > :02:55.months and the Conservatives say it would reduce gas and electricity

:02:56. > :03:05.bills by around ?100 a year. The point of getting the regulator

:03:06. > :03:08.to assess this is if, for example, the wholesale price of gas goes up

:03:09. > :03:13.in world markets, of course you would expect that to increase. If a

:03:14. > :03:19.price goes down, as it did in the past, you would expect the price to

:03:20. > :03:23.go down. That is why it is sensible to put it in the hands, and this is

:03:24. > :03:29.what the competition authority recommended, for prepayment meters,

:03:30. > :03:32.of the regulator. The Conservatives say the price cap would allow

:03:33. > :03:39.competition to continue in the market.

:03:40. > :03:42.But the Lib Dems say the policy would damage investment in energy,

:03:43. > :03:44.while Labour said a cap would not stop prices increasing.

:03:45. > :03:47.British Gas owner Centrica warned the move could lead to higher bills

:03:48. > :03:55.After your interview with Greg Clarke, he said he hasn't switched

:03:56. > :04:00.because it would be too difficult? He said it was a hassle. A lot of

:04:01. > :04:04.people getting in touch. Alan says changing is not too much hassle, I

:04:05. > :04:09.change every few years. It is well worth doing. Peter says nobody

:04:10. > :04:11.should feel they have to switch companies, companies should bend

:04:12. > :04:15.over backwards to keep the present customers. Richard also got in

:04:16. > :04:20.contact, why are there so many different tariffs? Anna --

:04:21. > :04:26.electricity costs a certain amount of produce and generate, surely one

:04:27. > :04:30.tariff is all that is needed and customers can decide based on

:04:31. > :04:35.customer service. Theresa May has been writing about that in The Sun

:04:36. > :04:41.newspaper. In the Telegraph, on television tonight, BBC One, 7pm,

:04:42. > :04:45.Theresa May and her husband will be doing an interview on The One Show.

:04:46. > :04:53.I am sure they will talk about energy. Shall we talk to Chris

:04:54. > :04:57.Mason? Our political correspondent, in Westminster. What do you make of

:04:58. > :05:02.this talk about energy caps, freezers, what is the difference and

:05:03. > :05:06.what is There was me thinking that you two were the double act on BBC

:05:07. > :05:11.One that everybody is talking about. Yes, jumping on this over themselves

:05:12. > :05:18.tonight. You know that an election is imminent when politicians invade

:05:19. > :05:21.the studio of The One Show Will Stop Jeremy Corbyn will be on at some

:05:22. > :05:28.stage in the future. Energy prices, if a little bit of it seems to ring

:05:29. > :05:33.a bell, it has featured in manifestos before. The Labour

:05:34. > :05:37.manifesto, two years ago, it said something remarkably similar. We

:05:38. > :05:41.will freeze energy bills until 2017, they said, ensuring that bills can

:05:42. > :05:46.fall, but not rise, and we will give the regulator the power to cut bills

:05:47. > :05:50.this winter. It looks like a cut and paste job from the Conservatives.

:05:51. > :05:54.The idea that Ed Miliband floated a couple of years ago was very popular

:05:55. > :05:58.at the time. The Conservatives insist that their idea is a little

:05:59. > :06:03.different. What is also striking this morning is that you were

:06:04. > :06:07.talking to Greg Clark on Breakfast 30 minutes ago. We are hearing that

:06:08. > :06:10.when this idea was put before the Cabinet, Greg Clark was one of a

:06:11. > :06:13.number of ministers around the table that was a little sceptical about

:06:14. > :06:18.it. Thought it was a little bit crude. But Theresa May pushed ahead

:06:19. > :06:23.with it, she is very keen on it. To illustrate that point about the

:06:24. > :06:26.power of Theresa May at the moment, and the Conservatives' belief in her

:06:27. > :06:31.branding, if you like, take a look at these pictures from yesterday,

:06:32. > :06:36.Theresa May campaigning in north-west London. Look at the

:06:37. > :06:40.signs. Theresa May's Team, and written very small, Conservatives.

:06:41. > :06:48.There is a real push from the Conservatives to push Theresa May,

:06:49. > :06:51.who they see as a useful brand, perhaps stronger than the brand of

:06:52. > :06:55.the party itself. Thank you, we will speak to you through this whole

:06:56. > :06:59.campaign. For those of you asking for more clarity on the energy

:07:00. > :07:05.policies, we will be speaking to somebody who is an energy expert

:07:06. > :07:09.just after 8:30am, trying to get to the bottom of what the differences

:07:10. > :07:13.between a cap and a freeze, and how will it affect our pockets?

:07:14. > :07:15.A 35-year-old man will appear in court today in connection

:07:16. > :07:20.with a dog attack on a two-year-old girl in Liverpool on Sunday.

:07:21. > :07:22.The toddler suffered injuries to her head and body when several

:07:23. > :07:25.dogs got into the garden where she was playing in Toxteth.

:07:26. > :07:28.She's in a serious but stable condition in hospital.

:07:29. > :07:31.Andrew McGowan has been accused of being in charge of four dogs that

:07:32. > :07:40.Faulty airbags, steering and fuel issues are just some of the problems

:07:41. > :07:43.that led to the highest ever rate of car-related recalls in Europe

:07:44. > :07:45.in the first three months of this year.

:07:46. > :07:54.What is going on, a manufacturing problem? Or are we better as

:07:55. > :07:58.consumers? A little bit of both. Things have been quite high profile,

:07:59. > :08:01.we have the Volkswagen emissions scandal, people are more aware of

:08:02. > :08:06.issues with their car. A lot of this is not to do with Volkswagen, it is

:08:07. > :08:09.to do with airbags. One of their suppliers, they had a lot of

:08:10. > :08:13.problems with airbags and they supply to a lot of car

:08:14. > :08:19.manufacturers. There have been recalls on those and that helped

:08:20. > :08:25.cause a peak. 80% of them were triggered by somebody being injured

:08:26. > :08:30.and making a complaint. People are at risk if they don't get it sorted

:08:31. > :08:34.out. What else can you tell us? Steering issues have been part of it

:08:35. > :08:41.as well, fuel related issues, in the UK a lot of the recall is, we make a

:08:42. > :08:44.lot of luxury cars, 90% of the recall is hoping down to issues with

:08:45. > :08:47.them. That has been interesting, a lot of it is to do with

:08:48. > :08:52.manufacturers being more on top of it than they were. Some of the

:08:53. > :09:00.consumer return rates are pretty low. We heard BMW, the 3 Series,

:09:01. > :09:06.1.5% recall completion across Europe. A lot of people still need

:09:07. > :09:14.to get their car sorted. The Nissan Micra, they did better. People like

:09:15. > :09:19.their cars. They don't like to give them away. But you are not charged,

:09:20. > :09:21.if it is a safety issue? You can go online and get it sorted.

:10:04. > :10:11.So, arguably the three most important men at Fox are out.

:10:12. > :10:13.For the Murdochs, the timing couldn't be worse.

:10:14. > :10:14.They are currently trying to take full control

:10:15. > :10:16.of the British broadcaster Sky, through an acquisition

:10:17. > :10:22.They declined an interview request, so I said hello to the boss

:10:23. > :10:30.You should be worried about the BBC as well.

:10:31. > :10:33.Radio host Wendy Walsh, seen here with lawyer

:10:34. > :10:35.Lisa Bloom, filed a complaint against O'Reilly by phone.

:10:36. > :10:38.The two women flew from Los Angeles to London specifically

:10:39. > :10:41.to explain to Ofcom why, in their view, the Murdochs are not

:10:50. > :10:51.prompt and decisive action to improve its workplace,

:10:52. > :10:53.overhauling top management and appointing women

:10:54. > :11:07.An "incredibly rare" example of one of the first printed

:11:08. > :11:09.pages has been unearthed at the University of Reading.

:11:10. > :11:11.These pages were produced by William Caxton on one

:11:12. > :11:14.of the first printing presses in about 1476.

:11:15. > :11:16.They'd been lying unrecognised in the university's archives,

:11:17. > :11:19.but they'll go on public display from today for the first time

:11:20. > :11:31.since they were sold from his print shop in the 15th Century.

:11:32. > :11:37.It is rather beautiful. And it is not just black and white, there is

:11:38. > :11:53.some red going there as well. They had red biro. I love the smell of

:11:54. > :11:55.old paper. When you open a book and you get that pong.

:11:56. > :11:58.More than 100,000 people in the UK live with Multiple Sclerosis.

:11:59. > :12:01.It's a condition that attacks the central nervous system.

:12:02. > :12:04.We don't know what causes it and there is no cure.

:12:05. > :12:06.But following the success of a small sample trial,

:12:07. > :12:09.a multi-million pound project is being launched to see if statins,

:12:10. > :12:12.which are usually used to reduce the risk of heart attacks,

:12:13. > :12:25.could help slow progressive forms of MS.

:12:26. > :12:28.Statins - prescribed to six million of us every year

:12:29. > :12:31.But in the coming months, a major new trial will test

:12:32. > :12:34.whether they could help tackle a condition which can wreak

:12:35. > :12:37.Multiple sclerosis causes the immune system to attack

:12:38. > :12:39.the lining of the nerves, disrupting messages travelling

:12:40. > :12:46.It can mean increasing levels of disability.

:12:47. > :12:50.More than 100,000 people in the UK have MS.

:12:51. > :12:53.Half will develop the secondary, progressive stage.

:12:54. > :12:56.There is currently no treatment to slow its progress and this trial,

:12:57. > :13:01.involving more than 1000 people, is aimed at them.

:13:02. > :13:04.If we can prove it has a long-term impact, long-term

:13:05. > :13:08.results for people with MS, we know its safety record,

:13:09. > :13:11.it is extremely cheap, so it could be quickly made

:13:12. > :13:13.available to everyone that needs it and it won't put a big

:13:14. > :13:20.A previous, smaller study suggested statins did have an impact.

:13:21. > :13:25.This trial will provide much more information.

:13:26. > :13:28.But, at six years long, it will be some time before it's

:13:29. > :13:29.known just how effective statins could be.

:13:30. > :13:37.Joining us now is Stuart Nixon an ambassador for the MS society

:13:38. > :13:39.who has the condition and Dr Jeremy Chataway,

:13:40. > :13:53.We will come to you in a minute. I wanted to talk to you first of all,

:13:54. > :13:58.you had this for many years, you first had signs when you were 13.

:13:59. > :14:02.Give us a little... You know, it is a lifetime come in some ways, but a

:14:03. > :14:07.little bit about the impact it had? The impact is enormous, for myself,

:14:08. > :14:12.being a teenager, being keen on sport, setting up my plans for life,

:14:13. > :14:19.going to university, having a career in place, all of those things, it

:14:20. > :14:25.takes those things away from you. Really, it is about aspiration. It

:14:26. > :14:28.is about removing your ability to aspire which, at the end of the day,

:14:29. > :14:32.makes us different from all of the other animals. Obviously the

:14:33. > :14:38.physical symptoms, the physical signs and symptoms. I am here in a

:14:39. > :14:41.chair, you can see that. But there is far more than that. Your nervous

:14:42. > :14:50.system control is absolutely everything you do. Unfortunately, it

:14:51. > :14:58.is also things like vowels, bladder, sex, a million different things. --

:14:59. > :15:03.bowels. Everything your bodily functions do, it affects them. I

:15:04. > :15:08.think it would be helpful if you could clarify what secondary

:15:09. > :15:19.progressive MS is, and how you think statins might be able to help? Yes,

:15:20. > :15:23.it begins with paralysis, problems with site or balance. People have

:15:24. > :15:28.relapses and go into remission. It lasts for ten or 15 years. In over

:15:29. > :15:32.half of people, as you have heard, it can become progressive. The

:15:33. > :15:38.disability remains with that person and they develop the problems you

:15:39. > :15:42.have seen with Stuart. You have real hope, they are widely used already,

:15:43. > :15:47.they are not expensive. You hope they could make a difference.

:15:48. > :15:56.We did this trial in 2014 which showed that high dose statin reduced

:15:57. > :16:00.the slight rate of brain shrinkage by about 40%. It was an amazing

:16:01. > :16:06.result and seemed to have some effect on the patients with mull

:16:07. > :16:10.till sclerosis. This gave us the signal to move on to the larger

:16:11. > :16:16.study of 1,000 people. We don't know how it works, but it is a brain

:16:17. > :16:20.protective mechanism. Is this exciting news for you? At what point

:16:21. > :16:28.did you realise there were limited treatment options for you? Well,

:16:29. > :16:32.it's 20, 25 years since I started with secondary progressive MS. So in

:16:33. > :16:38.my MS life this is the single most exciting day in those 25 years

:16:39. > :16:44.because this is the first time that there is the opportunity for a drug

:16:45. > :16:50.which will have an impact on progression. I say will, I have to

:16:51. > :16:54.at this point say, "May have" Because of the work that Jeremy and

:16:55. > :16:59.his team are going to do, but it's a really exciting day and a great

:17:00. > :17:05.opportunity for people in the MS community to actually start to take

:17:06. > :17:09.control of their MS. So, I'm sure Jeremy will tell us how people can

:17:10. > :17:13.get involved with this trial because this is the time that we as a

:17:14. > :17:17.community need to stand up, get involved with the trial, and then

:17:18. > :17:24.really sign up and make this work and give it the results that we need

:17:25. > :17:29.as a community. That's what I wanted to know as

:17:30. > :17:33.well. How do people get involved? Who do you need to get involved? The

:17:34. > :17:37.details are on the MS UK website. There will be 25 sites up and down

:17:38. > :17:40.the whole of the United Kingdom and Ireland and we want people to get

:17:41. > :17:43.ready to join the trial. To get those details and to talk to their

:17:44. > :17:47.neurologists and their doctors and we aim to start dosing the first

:17:48. > :17:53.dose towards the end of the year and then into next year. So we'd really

:17:54. > :17:57.like as Stewart quite rightly says people with secondary progressive

:17:58. > :18:00.multiple sclerosis to get ready for the trial. People can't self dose.

:18:01. > :18:05.They need to be part of the trial, don't they? That's right. This is

:18:06. > :18:09.high dose statins. It is a safe drug, but there are occasional,

:18:10. > :18:13.rare, but serious side-effects and people should not be dosing. But

:18:14. > :18:17.take part in this trial and let's make it happen. Stewart, would you

:18:18. > :18:21.want to take part in the trial yourself? Oh, absolutely, yes. There

:18:22. > :18:27.is no question. Sign me up as soon as we can. Yes. Jeremy before we go,

:18:28. > :18:30.I know all this, this research, of course, quite rightly, because of

:18:31. > :18:34.safety, etcetera, needs to take time. When are you likely to see

:18:35. > :18:39.results that can start making a difference? So we'll be recruiting

:18:40. > :18:43.over the next two years and then we follow people for three years in

:18:44. > :18:47.trial. So we'll come back to you in six years time. We might still be

:18:48. > :18:51.here! Frustrating, but there we are. It's

:18:52. > :18:53.the best day you've had in 25 years and thank you for sharing it with us

:18:54. > :18:58.on Breakfast. No problem, thank you. Here's Carol with a look

:18:59. > :19:08.at this morning's weather. Well, it's certainly a dry start to

:19:09. > :19:12.the day, Lou for many parts of the UK. The exception is across the far

:19:13. > :19:16.north of Scotland. The Weather Watchers have been sending us in

:19:17. > :19:21.picture. This one from Northern Ireland shows the sunshine and west

:19:22. > :19:27.is best today in term of sunshine. Now, we've got patchy light rain and

:19:28. > :19:30.drizzle across the Northern Isles. That extends further west, but for

:19:31. > :19:36.the west itself, and parts of the north, we're in that sun and the sun

:19:37. > :19:38.will prevail. If anything, we will see more developing. The rain

:19:39. > :19:43.continues across the far north of Scotland. Sunshine further south.

:19:44. > :19:47.Sunshine across Northern Ireland, sunshine across Cumbria, Lancashire

:19:48. > :19:50.and Cheshire. As we push in through Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, we're

:19:51. > :19:54.back under the cloud. Not as gusty a wind. For Wales and south-west

:19:55. > :19:58.England, back into the sunshine once again. Almost unbroken blue skies.

:19:59. > :20:01.For the Midlands, heading down towards the South East and East

:20:02. > :20:05.Anglia, well, we still will have that cloud with a few breaks at

:20:06. > :20:08.times. Through the evening and overnight we start with the cloud

:20:09. > :20:12.but it becomes eroded. There will be a lot of clear skies tonight. Still

:20:13. > :20:15.the rain and the stronger breeze across the Northern Isles. These

:20:16. > :20:18.temperatures indicate what you can expect in towns and cities, but in

:20:19. > :20:22.the countryside, it will be much colder. Cold enough for a touch of

:20:23. > :20:27.frost. So gardeners and growers be aware of that. Tomorrow, we start

:20:28. > :20:30.with a lot of sunshine. Still this cloud draped across parts of the

:20:31. > :20:34.north and the east of Scotland with patchy rain in the Northern Isles,

:20:35. > :20:37.blustery winds across the English Channel, but again, a pleasant day

:20:38. > :20:41.if you're in the sunshine. Temperatures down in the north and

:20:42. > :20:45.up as we come further south. We're looking at highs up to 17 Celsius.

:20:46. > :20:50.Then it changes. Thursday into Friday. We've got this rain coming

:20:51. > :20:53.up across the Channel Islands and the English Channel and in across

:20:54. > :20:58.southern England and Wales. Some of that will turn thundery and it will

:20:59. > :21:01.start to feel humid. Ahead of that, drier and brighter with sunshine.

:21:02. > :21:05.And I'll have a more detailed weather forecast later on, Dan and

:21:06. > :21:08.Lou. Carol, thank you very much. We

:21:09. > :21:12.weren't quite ready for you, but we are now.

:21:13. > :21:21.You nearly saw us being pampered and powdered there! I was having my

:21:22. > :21:23.make-up done. Sorry, Carol! LAUGHTER

:21:24. > :21:27.We nearly got caught out there, didn't we?

:21:28. > :21:30.Britain's green and pleasant land isn't looking so lush at the moment

:21:31. > :21:35.During April, some parts of the UK have had the lowest rainfall

:21:36. > :21:37.on record and if it continues it could become a real

:21:38. > :21:44.It looks like a beautiful day there, is at Bewl reservoir in Kent.

:21:45. > :21:49.It looks like a beautiful day there, John, what's going on? Yes, good

:21:50. > :21:56.morning Louise, it is a beautiful day as you say. A little bit chilly

:21:57. > :22:01.earlier as Carol has been telling us. This is Bewl Water in Kent. It

:22:02. > :22:05.has the potential, the potential to provide drinking water for 200

:22:06. > :22:10.million people. So it's huge, isn't it, of course, it doesn't serve that

:22:11. > :22:18.many, but the level of it at the moment is 71%. So Southern Water

:22:19. > :22:22.which runs the reservoir have other reservoirs, some are at a higher

:22:23. > :22:26.level. So there is not a great deal of concern at the moment. What there

:22:27. > :22:29.is concern about is that if there is a dry summer and it's dry into next

:22:30. > :22:34.winter, what's going to happen then? Keeping these fields irrigated

:22:35. > :22:44.is complex and expensive But with such little rain

:22:45. > :22:48.recently, it's really tough. These have been in since

:22:49. > :22:51.the middle of January What we're looking for is obviously

:22:52. > :22:58.a nice, long, carrot. And as you can see, this soil

:22:59. > :23:17.already had two inches They have built two large

:23:18. > :23:21.reservoirs, but each takes several years to gain

:23:22. > :23:23.planning approval. They argue here that our water

:23:24. > :23:25.infrastructure for farms and homes Obviously we don't know we're

:23:26. > :23:29.going to get a dry summer. If we do and then we move

:23:30. > :23:32.into a second really dry winter then we have real concerns

:23:33. > :23:34.here because we'll have limited ability to fill our reservoirs

:23:35. > :23:36.through this next winter. Now, Andrew will expect to harvest

:23:37. > :23:39.around 2,00 tons of carrots He's watering it at the rate

:23:40. > :23:43.of an inch a week, Just look as I rub it in my hand,

:23:44. > :23:57.the wind is blowing it away. Recent years have seen the river

:23:58. > :24:00.in Hertfordshire flood. The impressive 18th century

:24:01. > :24:06.bridge is testament to what should lay below,

:24:07. > :24:09.but instead it's arid. No one here remembers

:24:10. > :24:10.anything quite like it. We've just had the driest winter

:24:11. > :24:13.in the UK for 20 years. Welcome to what will be called

:24:14. > :24:19.Eddington, a new village being built by the University

:24:20. > :24:22.of Cambridge in response to the housing shortage

:24:23. > :24:30.and the UK's largest All of the buildings will have two

:24:31. > :24:33.water systems on the site. They have one that's a traditional water

:24:34. > :24:39.system for bathing and cleaning your teeth and cooking and another system

:24:40. > :24:43.that uses recycled water from the site for irrigating landscapes and

:24:44. > :24:48.watering lawns, flushing toilets and supporting washing machines.

:24:49. > :24:52.So a man-made solution to what may well be a man-made problem and it's

:24:53. > :25:00.expected to remain in the coming weeks. In Suffolk, the farmers talk

:25:01. > :25:04.of a five year cycle. So consider this 2012 saw hosepipe bans followed

:25:05. > :25:06.by record levels of rain. It was known as the wettest drought in

:25:07. > :25:20.history. Well it may not be good weather for

:25:21. > :25:25.duxment we've got a boat out on the water tootling past us. I want to

:25:26. > :25:30.talk to Nicky Russell from a water campaign group encouraging us to use

:25:31. > :25:35.our water more efficiently. We turn the taps on, where do we get the

:25:36. > :25:38.water from? From reservoirs and from rivers and the further south you

:25:39. > :25:43.come in the United Kingdom, the more the water companies rely on the acra

:25:44. > :25:47.fers and a drought from those takes longer to happen, but it takes

:25:48. > :25:51.longer to fix for the water to seep underground. So that's where our

:25:52. > :25:54.water comes from and the water that we have has been around since the

:25:55. > :25:59.beginning of human life, but there is more of us now so it's really

:26:00. > :26:04.important we waste less water all the time, and not just during

:26:05. > :26:09.drought. Is it making small changes to save water? If you're on a meter

:26:10. > :26:12.you save money too? There are simple things like don't worry if your

:26:13. > :26:17.grass goes brown it will soon come to life again when it rains. If you

:26:18. > :26:20.must use a sprinkler, remember that it uses 1,000 litres an hour which

:26:21. > :26:27.is the same as a family of four use in a day. Really? Try a drip

:26:28. > :26:31.irrigation system, maybe use in the morning or the evening, don't use

:26:32. > :26:36.your toilet as a rubbish bin. 30% of our water use comes from toilets and

:26:37. > :26:41.you're flushing five to ten litres every time, don't chuck a single

:26:42. > :26:44.tissue down it and flush it. Nicky, thank you very much indeed. We will

:26:45. > :26:47.be keeping an eye on the situation for you as I say, the water

:26:48. > :26:52.companies are saying to us, look it is not an issue at the moment, but I

:26:53. > :26:55.think everybody certainly in this industry, farmers as we have been

:26:56. > :26:59.seeing this morning will be fingers crossed for a bit of rain. The ducks

:27:00. > :27:04.have gone, but I'm sure they want a bit of rain too.

:27:05. > :27:11.STUDIO: They've walked off into the distance. Do ducks walk or waddle? I

:27:12. > :27:14.think they probably waddle. You're right on most things.

:27:15. > :30:36.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:30:37. > :30:48.Hello, this is Breakfast with Louise Minchin and Dan Walker.

:30:49. > :30:51.The Conservatives have confirmed they intend to cap energy prices

:30:52. > :30:54.for millions of households if they win the election.

:30:55. > :30:58.They claim the move could save consumers up to ?100 a year.

:30:59. > :31:03.But the Energy Secretary, Greg Clark, told BBC Breakfast

:31:04. > :31:06.that it still meant prices could go up as well as down.

:31:07. > :31:09.Labour says the proposed cap wouldn't stop bills increasing.

:31:10. > :31:11.Meanwhile, Jeremy Corbyn will formally launch Labour's

:31:12. > :31:15.election campaign today by saying that his party is not trying

:31:16. > :31:22.to find a way to keep Britain in the European Union.

:31:23. > :31:24.Chris Mason is our political correspondent in Westminster this

:31:25. > :31:31.morning and has been digesting all the latest election news.

:31:32. > :31:38.What are the most important things we should know? The striking things

:31:39. > :31:43.this morning, Louise, is that, well, the Conservatives have decided that

:31:44. > :31:47.an idea that Labour made great play a couple of years ago was so good

:31:48. > :31:51.they will cut and pasted and nick it. They insist it is different,

:31:52. > :31:55.that it had a different twist, but the similar it is between the policy

:31:56. > :32:04.they described as Marxist in 2015 and the one they are now adopting

:32:05. > :32:06.seem pretty striking. Greg Clark, the energy was in Breakfast earlier,

:32:07. > :32:09.didn't have a vast amounts to say about the specifics. He could talk

:32:10. > :32:13.about the overall amount that he thought would be saved, but he could

:32:14. > :32:17.not tell end of bill payers how much money it would save. I understand

:32:18. > :32:21.that he was amongst a number in the Cabinet who were a little critical

:32:22. > :32:24.of this idea, but it was a little bit crude, but Theresa May

:32:25. > :32:27.absolutely keen to stick with it. And what is really striking is the

:32:28. > :32:32.extent to which the Conservatives are talking up the brand of Theresa

:32:33. > :32:35.May. Look at these pictures yesterday from Harrow in north-west

:32:36. > :32:41.London, we were not hearing about the Conservatives, we were hearing

:32:42. > :32:45.about Theresa May's team. Look at the size of the letters, really

:32:46. > :32:51.talking up the extent to which she is the brand that they think they

:32:52. > :32:54.can connect with voters, rather than the Conservative one. On the subject

:32:55. > :32:59.of leaders out and about, you were saying that Jeremy Corbyn will be

:33:00. > :33:03.launching Labour's campaign in Manchester today. He was out and

:33:04. > :33:07.about in Leamington Spa yesterday, and take a look at this moment, an

:33:08. > :33:20.encounter with a voter with a little bit of a twist. Strong and stable

:33:21. > :33:26.bananas! Strong and stable bananas! So, yes, Bananarama Arriva bombing,

:33:34. > :33:35.You will remember that David Miliband, a former Labour Foreign

:34:31. > :34:34.The party's Westminster leader, Angus Robertson, said SNP MPs

:36:17. > :36:22.Good morning, hello, welcome to Camborne in Cornwall. We are here to

:36:23. > :36:26.talk to people at the general election, obviously, plenty of

:36:27. > :36:29.people tell me they feel forgotten by politicians at Westminster, and

:36:30. > :36:30.the issues they care about are different. Brexit hardly gets a

:36:31. > :36:36.mention. Join us after Breakfast. And coming up here

:36:37. > :36:38.on Breakfast this morning. It's been making headlines

:36:39. > :36:41.before it's even been on TV - we'll be speaking to one

:36:42. > :36:44.of the stars behind a controversial new drama imagining what might

:36:45. > :36:47.happen in the first few days And could the mysteries of the

:36:48. > :36:51.Big Bang be about to be revealed? We'll hear how scientists

:36:52. > :36:54.at Cern think an upgrade to the Large Hadron Collider

:37:19. > :37:25.We speak to them about their incredible relationship -

:37:26. > :37:37.two? Yes, fantastic to see them together.

:37:38. > :37:47.Morning! Good morning. I haven't seen that, I am terrible

:37:48. > :37:51.at watching films. I will lend you the DVD.

:37:52. > :37:55.I am normally watching football matches, that is why. Last night,

:37:56. > :37:59.Chelsea were utterly dominant against Middlesbrough, who have gone

:38:00. > :38:04.down into the Championship or the fourth time in history, up and down,

:38:05. > :38:09.a roller-coaster for Middlesbrough fans pretty much every season.

:38:10. > :38:13.Chelsea on the brink of being crowned champions, just three more

:38:14. > :38:15.days, and if they win on Friday, what a weekend they have got lined

:38:16. > :38:17.up. Good morning, everyone. Chelsea manager Antonio Conte

:38:18. > :38:20.said his side showed they deserved to win the league after moving

:38:21. > :38:23.to within one win of the title. They looked very comfortable

:38:24. > :38:25.against Middlesbrough last night, They can become champions

:38:26. > :38:38.later this week with victory It was very important to win and to

:38:39. > :38:48.exploit Tottenham's defeat. We must be pleased. Now, another step,

:38:49. > :38:51.another step to win the title. Yeah, for sure, now it's important to rest

:38:52. > :38:54.very well and prepared the West Brom game.

:38:55. > :38:57.Ghanaian midfielder Sulley Muntari says he'd walk off the pitch again

:38:58. > :39:01.His ban for leaving during a league game for Pescara in Italy

:39:02. > :39:03.was overturned, but in a BBC interview, Muntari, who played

:39:04. > :39:05.in the Premier League for Portsmouth and Sunderland,

:39:06. > :39:08.claims racism is everywhere and getting worse, and he accuses

:39:09. > :39:14.Fifa and Uefa of not caring enough about it.

:39:15. > :39:23.If they want to fight racism, they should be the first people to jump

:39:24. > :39:31.on we are playing football here and fear, under Uefa, and you have

:39:32. > :39:43.nothing to say about it? -- under Fifa. Maybe they didn't come in, but

:39:44. > :39:46.if these unnecessary things for them, they will. But this is really

:39:47. > :39:49.a big deal, racism is a big deal. Maria Sharapova has been beaten

:39:50. > :39:51.by the most outspoken critic of her return to tennis

:39:52. > :39:53.following a 15-month doping ban. Former Wimbledon finalist

:39:54. > :39:55.Eugenie Bouchard had called Sharapova a cheater who shouldn't

:39:56. > :39:58.have been allowed to play again. The Canadian won

:39:59. > :39:59.a near three-hour epic in the second round

:40:00. > :40:11.of the Madrid Open. I was actually quite inspired before

:40:12. > :40:14.the match, because I had a lot of players coming up to me privately,

:40:15. > :40:20.wishing me good luck, players I don't normally speak to. Getting a

:40:21. > :40:26.lot of texts from people in the tennis world that were rooting for

:40:27. > :40:27.me. So I wanted to do it for myself, but also for all of those people, so

:40:28. > :40:34.I really felt support. I am just one of the two players on

:40:35. > :40:38.the court, and everything that surrounds myself, I don't really

:40:39. > :40:41.know a lot of it, I don't pay attention to a lot of it, I have

:40:42. > :40:45.been part of this game for many years, I know what the drill is, I

:40:46. > :40:54.know the excitement, I know there is always a lot of talk, rivalries,

:40:55. > :40:56.news. It is all part of the game. Do you want to see the best Lionel

:40:57. > :41:08.Messi lookalike we have seen? He gets mobbed because he looks so

:41:09. > :41:11.much like Messi. Last time I was saying how lucky he is, he is not a

:41:12. > :41:16.David Beckham lookalike, he doesn't have to have tattoos all over his

:41:17. > :41:20.body, because I said Messi doesn't have tattoos. I never noticed his,

:41:21. > :41:23.but people have been quite rightly pointing out that he has got a whole

:41:24. > :41:29.sleeve, and he has got them up the back of his legs.

:41:30. > :41:34.He normally has a long sock on and readily wears a skintight

:41:35. > :41:38.undershirt. Exactly, that is why I have not

:41:39. > :41:43.noticed, Wayne Rooney has an England flag on a shoulder, Neymar has got

:41:44. > :41:55.them all over is Anscombe Torres is covered in them, but Messi keeps up.

:41:56. > :41:57.-- all over his hands, and Torres is covered in them, but Messi keeps

:41:58. > :42:07.them covered up. So what is the difference between a

:42:08. > :42:10.price cap and a freeze? The Conservatives say they will cap

:42:11. > :42:13.energy bills if they win the election. They insist their plan is

:42:14. > :42:18.different from the freeze that Labour proposed in 2015. You have

:42:19. > :42:26.been asking us to speak to somebody who was not a politician about this,

:42:27. > :42:30.Stephen Murray is from a price comparison website, help us get to

:42:31. > :42:33.the bottom of this, why do you think there is a bit of resistance to this

:42:34. > :42:38.policy from the energy industry? What is the issue with it? Well,

:42:39. > :42:42.price intervention in a market has been talked about for a little

:42:43. > :42:45.while, and the Competition and Markets Authority were asked by the

:42:46. > :42:52.readily do, Ofgem, to do an inquiry into the market, which took about

:42:53. > :42:55.two years, and they said that, on balance, price intervention was not

:42:56. > :42:59.a good thing because it would stifle competition and the savings for

:43:00. > :43:02.customers are out there. The cap we are talking about this morning is

:43:03. > :43:07.going to save households on standard tariffs about ?100 a year. But the

:43:08. > :43:13.savings for those households at the moment are 250-300 per year. So the

:43:14. > :43:18.concern is that this cap will even further disengage customers in the

:43:19. > :43:22.energy market, except a small reduction in bills, not maximising

:43:23. > :43:26.the savings that they can make, which is important to us. So from

:43:27. > :43:32.your perspective, it seems like a little bit of a confused policy, and

:43:33. > :43:35.Greg Clark, when he was talking to us earlier, he didn't seem entirely

:43:36. > :43:39.clear on what savings people would have to make, and you seem to be

:43:40. > :43:43.backing that up. Yes, there are still some flesh to be put on the

:43:44. > :43:48.bones here, we have talked about a cap and savings of around ?100. As

:43:49. > :43:51.we indicated, two thirds of households are on standard variable

:43:52. > :43:56.tariffs, among the most expensive, and for example, there are 76

:43:57. > :44:01.tariffs at the moment which can save you more than ?100 for a customer on

:44:02. > :44:05.a standard variable tariffs. So there is plenty of competition out

:44:06. > :44:09.there. We recognise that for vulnerable customers, we need to do

:44:10. > :44:11.more to get access to the market, and there are measures that

:44:12. > :44:15.suppliers are having to implement more changes to be able to identify

:44:16. > :44:20.vulnerable customers who cannot access the market. But the majority

:44:21. > :44:23.of households can, online or over the phone, and the savings are farm

:44:24. > :44:29.or significant than this ?100 we are talking about. -- far more

:44:30. > :44:31.significant. The problem is that people will accept this and

:44:32. > :44:35.engagement in the market will reduce. We have smart meter roll-out

:44:36. > :44:40.at the moment, investment in energy efficiency, all of these things have

:44:41. > :44:45.to be funded, and there is a real concern that if disengagement

:44:46. > :44:50.happens, investment will start to cease as well. 76 different tariffs,

:44:51. > :44:55.surely that is an industry problem, isn't it? Can't we just make it

:44:56. > :44:59.clear and simple for every consumer? Everyone needs gas and electric in

:45:00. > :45:06.the house, why on earth are their 76 tariffs? Well, to start with, there

:45:07. > :45:10.are about 50 suppliers, you have got plenty of supplies, and a mixture of

:45:11. > :45:14.those customers on those tariffs are variable, or if you want to fix your

:45:15. > :45:18.tariff for a year or two years or three, there are green tariffs out

:45:19. > :45:21.there. It is an evolution of the market that there has been more

:45:22. > :45:25.supplies and choice. Yes, innocence, it is a generic product, but there

:45:26. > :45:29.is an element of choice as to whether people want to switch their

:45:30. > :45:34.gas and Electricity Board three years, or whether they want to stay

:45:35. > :45:37.on a variable tariff. The choices out there. What is important to

:45:38. > :45:39.recognise is that this cap is bubbly going to disengage those customers

:45:40. > :45:48.who could save far more. When you hear the minister said it

:45:49. > :45:55.is too much hassle to switch, does that make you shake your head? It

:45:56. > :46:00.did make me smile. Last year saw over 5 million people switch. The

:46:01. > :46:08.faster switching has been introduced, which makes most

:46:09. > :46:15.switches take 17 days. Advocacy is increasing all of the time. With all

:46:16. > :46:18.of that, what we do not have is a broken market, it is broken

:46:19. > :46:23.engagement, and if we can engage with that so that people understand

:46:24. > :46:30.they can make the savings and do it quickly, we can be moving forward.

:46:31. > :46:33.It's sparked anger and generated headlines even before it's aired.

:46:34. > :46:37.King Charles II is the controversial BBC adaptation of the play

:46:38. > :46:40.of the same name that tries to imagine what might happen

:46:41. > :46:47.Written by Mike Barlett, it portrays a future royal family

:46:48. > :46:49.descending into acrimony and bitter rivalry.

:46:50. > :46:51.We'll speak to the actor Oliver Chris, who plays

:46:52. > :46:54.Prince William, in a moment, but first, let's take a look.

:46:55. > :46:56.Dear Mr Evans, water, fetched and got by careful

:46:57. > :47:06.Kate, on that paper, makes that look from which experience I know tends

:47:07. > :47:14.doom and fury from your normally soft and poised face.

:47:15. > :47:19.But Charles has marked it there himself, and I,

:47:20. > :47:22.as people's leader, come to say this will not stand.

:47:23. > :47:30.He must allow this Bill to pass, both signed and unamended.

:47:31. > :47:32.But William, why would your father interfere so crassly

:47:33. > :47:39.Well, say more, for nothing comes of nothing said.

:47:40. > :47:45.He may have reason that we do not know or understand as yet.

:47:46. > :47:48.But we, as son and daughter of the Crown, will only give support

:47:49. > :47:51.and leave dispute to those who have a stake in

:47:52. > :47:56.You have a stake, much more than most.

:47:57. > :48:09.You and Prince William looked extraordinarily alike. The first

:48:10. > :48:16.thing people will notice, as soon as they watch that or the film, it is

:48:17. > :48:24.written in blank verse. Yes, in iambic pentameter, it takes the

:48:25. > :48:28.Shakespearean structure. It started as a player originally, in five

:48:29. > :48:35.acts, with scenes in East act. It is interesting, because when you watch

:48:36. > :48:40.the first couple of minutes, you are assaulted by it, then you forget it,

:48:41. > :48:44.then it becomes obvious again. I don't think there has been anything

:48:45. > :48:50.quite like this on TV before, not in such a modern film. One of the

:48:51. > :48:54.things that went first is, it heightens emotion, it gives a sense

:48:55. > :49:01.of status. Shakespeare wrote about power and Kings and what it is to

:49:02. > :49:07.rule. What better structured to use when talking about our own monarchy?

:49:08. > :49:13.We were saying that there has been a lot said about this even before it

:49:14. > :49:19.has been on TV. Three main things, Prince Harry's paternity, the ghost

:49:20. > :49:26.of Diana, and the portrayal of the Duchess of Cambridge is a bit

:49:27. > :49:31.conniving. I take a different view. She has a much more modern take on

:49:32. > :49:36.what the monarchy is. The Queen has ruled 64 years, and our society has

:49:37. > :49:43.changed. It begs the question, what are we going to do when she goes?

:49:44. > :49:53.Hate represents a more modern, business savvy brain. -- Kate

:49:54. > :49:57.represents a more modern, business savvy brain. It is a pro-monarchist

:49:58. > :50:03.film, it holds the pillars of our society. Ever since we started, we

:50:04. > :50:08.knew we were betraying real people, and we did a lot of research. If

:50:09. > :50:15.William saw my betrayal, he would see it is done with respect and

:50:16. > :50:19.admiration. It is fully to talk about controversy before people have

:50:20. > :50:26.seen it, even today there is an article. In the Telegraph today. It

:50:27. > :50:29.suggests that I said the BBC were not defending the show enough, but

:50:30. > :50:39.that could not be further from the truth. What I meant to suggest. I

:50:40. > :50:45.wish the BBC could defend itself more generally. The BBC is an

:50:46. > :50:50.incredible National institution, but people want to knock it. The fact

:50:51. > :50:54.that BBC Two have been so brave to back the show and champion it is a

:50:55. > :51:03.testament to that, so it surprises me, this outcry. Lots of people have

:51:04. > :51:11.seen this already. The ghost of Diana, is that insensitive? When you

:51:12. > :51:14.are discussing and institutional role, the real people that occupy

:51:15. > :51:18.those roles, one of the themes of this film is it deals with the real

:51:19. > :51:24.people and what happens when they come into friction with those roles.

:51:25. > :51:30.We can only imagine. It would be strange if Diana was not part of the

:51:31. > :51:37.story, because she is such a big heart of the Princes and Charles's

:51:38. > :51:42.psychology. But I understand how people might find it difficult to

:51:43. > :51:48.watch. I believe that what we see is an extraordinary, intelligent

:51:49. > :51:54.addition to the debate about our monarchy, and I feel that the

:51:55. > :51:58.presence of Diana is done very sensitively and couched within that

:51:59. > :52:02.it is a tasteful addition to the controversial, provocative story. If

:52:03. > :52:08.we are thinking, it is provoking thought and discussion. If our minds

:52:09. > :52:15.are open, we save ourselves from narrow-mindedness. Another thing in

:52:16. > :52:26.the article... I was shocked, actually. You worked with Tim Pigott

:52:27. > :52:34.Smith. He was a great friend. And a real mentor. We have a very big

:52:35. > :52:40.scene together. Over the years we did the show 300 times, there was a

:52:41. > :52:46.shared affection and trust to go through the journey that we go

:52:47. > :52:51.through. It fostered a closeness, and for him to be taken from us

:52:52. > :53:03.before he even got to see the film, it is one of those cool jokes and

:53:04. > :53:09.life. -- cruel jokes in life. It is scant consolation for this

:53:10. > :53:16.extraordinary life cut short. As an addition to his Canon and as a final

:53:17. > :53:20.testament to his abilities, he gives the most extraordinary and beautiful

:53:21. > :53:28.performance of this man that we all know and think we know and maybe

:53:29. > :53:33.love or don't love. It is such a pleasure to be on the sofa! You have

:53:34. > :53:38.auditioned lots of times, but you got the role! Finally! I was pleased

:53:39. > :53:44.because this and not some of the other ones! It is on BBC Two

:53:45. > :53:59.tomorrow night at 9pm. We are talking about water and the

:54:00. > :54:04.shortage. We are going to Carol! Save us!

:54:05. > :54:13.Good morning. I will talk about April rainfall. This chart shows how

:54:14. > :54:19.much we have had across the UK during the month. The brown shows we

:54:20. > :54:27.have had less than average. That covers the bulk of the UK. We have

:54:28. > :54:32.had the driest April on record for both Edinburgh and Kew Gardens.

:54:33. > :54:38.During the month, Edinburgh has only had four millimetres, normally we

:54:39. > :54:49.would expect 40.5. Records go back 75 years. For Kew Gardens, we have

:54:50. > :54:53.only had six millimetres. We should have had 45.3. Those records go back

:54:54. > :54:59.54 years. If you remember the figure, we are only a week or so

:55:00. > :55:05.intimate, and we have seen almost that I'm out, but in Edinburgh so

:55:06. > :55:09.far, we have not seen any. As we go through the next few days, some of

:55:10. > :55:16.us will see rain, and the totals will change. Beautiful pictures this

:55:17. > :55:22.morning. Lovely blue sky. Start contrast to what we see further east

:55:23. > :55:28.in Kent. That tells the story quite nicely. The contrast will continue.

:55:29. > :55:31.Across northern and eastern and central parts, we hang on to the

:55:32. > :55:37.cloud. Towards the West, sunshine and rain and drizzle, they breeze

:55:38. > :55:44.across the north of Scotland. The breeze across eastern areas has been

:55:45. > :55:48.really subdued. This afternoon, Northern Ireland and Scotland have

:55:49. > :55:53.the sunshine, with the patchy rain in the North. As we move down the

:55:54. > :55:57.east coast, we are back under the cloud. Sunshine for Wales and

:55:58. > :56:03.south-west England. It will feel pleasant. For the Midlands and into

:56:04. > :56:10.eastern England, more cloud, less of an onshore breeze. The cloud will

:56:11. > :56:16.break up, and we see Sunny spells, but the emphasis is on the cloud.

:56:17. > :56:23.The other night, you can see how the cloud is eroded, and we get clearer

:56:24. > :56:31.skies. If you are in the countryside, it will be called it a

:56:32. > :56:36.night. There will be frost in the countryside. First thing tomorrow,

:56:37. > :56:42.there will be a lot of sunshine, with cloud. The cloud will be

:56:43. > :56:46.eroded, and we see cloud across northern and eastern Scotland. The

:56:47. > :56:50.temperatures down a touch in the north but up a touch further south.

:56:51. > :56:57.By the time we get to Thursday, this heralds the change, with rain coming

:56:58. > :56:59.up from the south. More of the rain will spread north during the course

:57:00. > :57:11.of Friday. I am paying full attention!

:57:12. > :57:17.Louise, that makes a change! In the nicest way!

:57:18. > :57:19.That is as close as you get from a telling off from Carol!

:57:20. > :57:21.When it recreated the conditions just after the Big Bang

:57:22. > :57:24.in an attempt to answer fundamental questions of science

:57:25. > :57:27.and the universe, it was hailed as one of the most significant

:57:28. > :57:30.Well, now the Large Hadron Collider has a new piece of kit,

:57:31. > :57:34.which scientists say will be akin to it shifting up a gear from

:57:35. > :57:37.Graeme Burt is from Lancaster University and runs

:57:38. > :57:41.the UK's contribution to the upgrade programme.

:57:42. > :57:49.The Large Hadron Collider is not one Texan narrator, it is five that feed

:57:50. > :57:54.into each other. It is like a car, he would never start a car in fifth

:57:55. > :58:00.gear. You did not start it in the main ring, you build up slowly

:58:01. > :58:06.through the chains. The first ones were built in 1978, they are quite

:58:07. > :58:10.old are designed in the 60s. It is like having a Ferrari where the

:58:11. > :58:19.gearbox is from a 1960s Morris Minor. We are going full Formula 1

:58:20. > :58:23.in terms of speed. The whole accelerator will be modernised,

:58:24. > :58:26.state-of-the-art, and that will produce more collisions, which

:58:27. > :58:34.allows us to make discoveries faster. What are you looking for?

:58:35. > :58:38.There is a bunch of stuff. In terms of what scientists know about the

:58:39. > :58:43.universe, we only know between four and 5% of the universe. The rest is

:58:44. > :58:48.made up of things that we have never detected, called dark energy and

:58:49. > :58:54.dark matter. We do not know what those are made up of. There are

:58:55. > :58:58.plenty of theories, but there is no proof. So we are hoping to find

:58:59. > :59:03.potentially some new physics or some heavier particles that might explain

:59:04. > :59:09.some of these, or maybe something new we do not understand. We know

:59:10. > :59:13.physics does not add up at the moment. Everything we know does not

:59:14. > :59:16.quite come together, there are some missing things, we do not understand

:59:17. > :59:24.gravity, so we are looking for something unexpected. Might there be

:59:25. > :59:31.a Higgs boson type job, or is it likely to be something like that? It

:59:32. > :59:34.might be something more significant. That was predicted, and scientists

:59:35. > :59:38.would have been surprised if we had not found it. We do not know what

:59:39. > :59:42.the next thing is, there are more theories than there are people

:59:43. > :59:46.working on it, and only one can be right, so it could be any number of

:59:47. > :59:50.things. Every scientist has their own theory. It will be a revolution

:59:51. > :59:57.when we find out what the new thing is. The truth is out there!

:59:58. > :00:02.Everybody will have to do their A-levels and GCSEs all over again!

:00:03. > :00:04.Now, they say you can't choose your family.

:00:05. > :00:07.But when it came to casting her on-screen mum, comedian Amy Schumer

:00:08. > :00:14.In Snatched, they play a mother and daughter who are kidnapped

:00:15. > :00:18.during a once-in-a-lifetime trip to South America.

:00:19. > :00:20.I met them both to talk about modern mother-daughter relationships

:00:21. > :00:24.and why Goldie was persuaded to return to the big screen.

:00:25. > :00:27.Goldie, it has been some time since we have seen you in a movie.

:00:28. > :00:30.What is it like coming back, exciting?

:00:31. > :00:32.It's a lot of fun, a lot of fun with this girl.

:00:33. > :00:37.And it was coming back to something I've been doing a long time,

:00:38. > :00:40.so it was a good feeling to come back to that.

:00:41. > :00:43.Pack your bags, we're going to South America.

:00:44. > :00:46.Everybody knows you need two years to plan a vacation.

:00:47. > :00:51.That is not true, I've been taking sculpting lessons at the Y.

:00:52. > :00:54.I told you I would not acknowledge that.

:00:55. > :00:58.That is frightening, and you made that.

:00:59. > :01:02.Is it true, Amy, that you only wanted Goldie to play your mum?

:01:03. > :01:04.Yeah, yeah, she was the only one, absolutely.

:01:05. > :01:06.There's really no-one else that could play this role, honestly.

:01:07. > :01:10.And it took a lucky break as far as I understand,

:01:11. > :01:13.you met her in an airport, or in a plane?

:01:14. > :01:15.Yeah, we were on a plane next to each other.

:01:16. > :01:18.I didn't bother her during the flight,

:01:19. > :01:20.but then after, I approached her in the airport,

:01:21. > :01:25.and I said, "I'm Amy, I'm a comic, and I would love to make this movie

:01:26. > :01:26.with you, so please look out for it,"

:01:27. > :01:29.I just wanted to, like, plant that seed in her head.

:01:30. > :01:31.When somebody comes up to you in an airport

:01:32. > :01:34.or after a plane journey and says, "I want you to play my mum,"

:01:35. > :01:37.Goldie, most of us would say, "Really," wouldn't we?

:01:38. > :01:40.I have to tell you, people do come up to me randomly,

:01:41. > :01:42.and whether they're asking me to play their mom or not,

:01:43. > :01:44.you know... So that is, you know...

:01:45. > :01:48.I'm used to it, you know, I've been doing this a while.

:01:49. > :01:52.No, I'm very kind, I'm very nice to people,

:01:53. > :01:54.but for the most part, most of the time,

:01:55. > :02:00.Yeah, she went, "OK, all right," then you got a follow-up call.

:02:01. > :02:03.Why did I ever let you talk me into this?

:02:04. > :02:10.This is great, but we've really got to get out of here.

:02:11. > :02:15.Tell me about the movie, because it's a wonderfully

:02:16. > :02:19.well-observed and affectionate look at a mum-daughter relationship.

:02:20. > :02:21.Was it important to you to make this movie?

:02:22. > :02:28.I made Trainwreck, and that was about my dad,

:02:29. > :02:33.And we wanted it to be laugh-out-loud funny,

:02:34. > :02:39.to have a closer look at the mother-daughter relationship.

:02:40. > :02:45.It's powerful, and it's very honest, because lots of relationships will

:02:46. > :02:47.be similar to this relationship. Oh, absolutely.

:02:48. > :02:53.Because a mother has full control over a period of time,

:02:54. > :02:55.and then when the daughter begins to come out

:02:56. > :02:59.it can be really disconcerting for the mother.

:03:00. > :03:01.And so the mother has to ask herself who she is,

:03:02. > :03:04.and the daughter says, "I don't want to be anything

:03:05. > :03:06.like you, I want to be totally different."

:03:07. > :03:08.So all this stuff is going on, and the mother is going,

:03:09. > :03:16."I need you more than you need me now but..."

:03:17. > :03:19.So the daughter has to do all these things to find out who she is,

:03:20. > :03:22.and it's a hell of a ride, it really is.

:03:23. > :03:24.And what's lovely that comes across in the movie,

:03:25. > :03:27.it is a serious relationship, and you do a serious discussion,

:03:28. > :03:35.You don't often see mum and daughter having great fun as well together.

:03:36. > :03:38.Yeah, I mean, there's no-one that you go further back with

:03:39. > :03:41.than your mother, you know, your OG friend.

:03:42. > :03:48.So the laughs I had with my mom, and I know you've had with Kate,

:03:49. > :03:56.Hair and make-up, boobs, we're going out.

:03:57. > :03:58.Emily, I'm not going out at night, everything shouldn't be so scary.

:03:59. > :04:02.Oh, it damn well should, one in four tourists are kidnapped.

:04:03. > :04:14.some people might be sensitive to the crudeness of it.

:04:15. > :04:17.Do you feel that at all, for a younger audience, or not?

:04:18. > :04:19.Were you offended by anything in the movie?

:04:20. > :04:22.No, I wasn't offended... But this is a morning show and...

:04:23. > :04:24.There might be a couple of shots that maybe give

:04:25. > :04:32.and it's happened with some of my movies, too.

:04:33. > :04:35.Wildcats, for instance, was a movie that everyone should have seen,

:04:36. > :04:38.but there were certain things in it and it got an R rating.

:04:39. > :04:41.I got naked, what was I thinking?! I had no idea!

:04:42. > :04:47.But if you take a few things out, it's not going to be an R.

:04:48. > :05:07.What I wonder, specifically, you address some of it

:05:08. > :05:09.in the movie as well, that kind of like,

:05:10. > :05:12.you know, the selfieness and all the rest of it.

:05:13. > :05:15.Does that, do you think, Amy, does that make it

:05:16. > :05:19.more difficult for you, do you think?

:05:20. > :05:22.I just really feel bad for kids growing up with social media now,

:05:23. > :05:25.I feel really grateful that it didn't exist when I was a teenager,

:05:26. > :05:30.because I would have definitely had even more regrets than I have,

:05:31. > :05:36.But you know, it's also really good for performers and for stand-ups

:05:37. > :05:39.to help tell people that you're coming to their town,

:05:40. > :05:42.but I think when people get obsessed with it,

:05:43. > :05:45.and they're more obsessed with the kind of image that

:05:46. > :05:52.they're creating for themselves, I think that is a real shame.

:05:53. > :05:55.And you're sort of like that that in the movie as well, don't you?

:05:56. > :05:57.Yeah, my character's all about her social media

:05:58. > :06:02.Is that different from when you started out in the movies,

:06:03. > :06:10.Oh, I think ego is there from the beginning,

:06:11. > :06:15.You don't need social media to have an ego issue,

:06:16. > :06:22.or the need to be seen or loved or anything like that.

:06:23. > :06:24.But I do think that it's an obsession today,

:06:25. > :06:30.Would you go on a road trip like this with your mum?

:06:31. > :06:36.Yeah, I've got an a lot of trips with my mom, but again,

:06:37. > :06:39.the vacations I've taken with her were because I was so broke,

:06:40. > :06:43.and your mom will take you on a free trip and buy you food and drinks.

:06:44. > :06:48.Yeah, and that is what you do when you're a poor kid.

:06:49. > :06:50.And the other way around in this movie.

:06:51. > :06:51.But now, when we spend time together,

:06:52. > :06:53.it's by choice, rather than necessity.

:06:54. > :06:55.I mean, no, I went on a cruise with my grandmother.

:06:56. > :07:01.You're just so poor, I want to go on a boat...

:07:02. > :07:09.about the close relationship with Goldie?

:07:10. > :07:12.Yeah, she has avoided all of Goldie. My whole family was...

:07:13. > :07:14.Like, loving Goldie was a family affair for us,

:07:15. > :07:25.They haven't met Goldie yet, but I'm like...

:07:26. > :07:27.They're going to have 30 seconds, "Don't touch, she's mine!"

:07:28. > :07:35.But my mom is just really just happy for me.

:07:36. > :07:47.They clearly get on extremely well. I just noticed Goldie Hawn's big

:07:48. > :07:53.boot there! We were talking about R ratings, that means 17 years old and

:07:54. > :07:58.up, 16 and under, isn't it, and here it is a 15. It is very funny, it is

:07:59. > :07:59.very true about mother-daughter relationships in lots of different

:08:00. > :08:08.ways. After a little break to get news,

:08:09. > :08:12.travel and weather, historian Suzannah Lipscomb will be here to

:08:13. > :09:58.talk about a new programme about Elizabeth first, which fascinating.

:09:59. > :10:04.She famously said she had the body of a "weak and feeble woman"

:10:05. > :10:07.but "the heart and stomach of a King."

:10:08. > :10:09.Her life is now the subject of a new docudrama

:10:10. > :10:16.We'll speak to historian Suzannah Lipscomb, who presents

:10:17. > :10:30.Take us back to explain about the woman she was and the time she lived

:10:31. > :10:35.in. OK, so she was the second Queen pregnant, she reigned for 45 years,

:10:36. > :10:41.and we have the sense of her being the Gloriana of the golden age. It

:10:42. > :10:45.was an age that was very important to the foundation of the modern age,

:10:46. > :10:49.because it is the time when we have the navy growing, the beginning of

:10:50. > :10:54.empire, the Renaissance in English literature, Shakespeare. So we look

:10:55. > :10:58.back to this as the beginnings of who we are today. It is an

:10:59. > :11:03.interesting way of approaching it, we described it as a docudrama, and

:11:04. > :11:09.you have bits like this, then suddenly you are presenting it, so

:11:10. > :11:12.an innovative way of doing it. Yes, it is me and historian Darren Jones

:11:13. > :11:17.on the documentary side of things, and then the drama, the same

:11:18. > :11:22.director and cameraman for both, so they have a kind of seamless look.

:11:23. > :11:25.But I think the drama here is beautiful and sumptuous, and so

:11:26. > :11:32.often one expects historical re-enactments to be quite naff, and

:11:33. > :11:35.that makes you think of the past as a bit hammy. So it is important that

:11:36. > :11:40.they have something of the quality of the richness that the age would

:11:41. > :11:44.have had. We were talking earlier about the controversy surrounding

:11:45. > :11:49.Charles III armour potentially what will happen after the death of

:11:50. > :11:52.Queen, and again here, this is not controversial, because historians

:11:53. > :11:57.have thought about it for a while, but the potential abuse she suffered

:11:58. > :12:03.during her younger years. Yes, when she was living with Catherine Parr,

:12:04. > :12:06.her stepmother, after Henry VIII had died, his stepmother remarried,

:12:07. > :12:11.Thomas Seymour, the brother of the Lord protector at the time, and he

:12:12. > :12:15.came into her room is early in the morning, made as if to get in bed

:12:16. > :12:18.with her, sometimes did. She would get up earlier and earlier so we

:12:19. > :12:23.wouldn't find her in bed, but he would still arrive, one time he

:12:24. > :12:28.struck around the bottom, and later he wrote to her when he was single

:12:29. > :12:34.about her great buttocks. And there is an incident where he tried to cut

:12:35. > :12:38.away at her dress. She rode on a letter at one point, touch me not,

:12:39. > :12:43.then crossed it out, let him not touch me. So there is a sense that

:12:44. > :12:47.she was feeling that he was coming close to trying to abuse her, we

:12:48. > :12:52.don't know that he actually did. There is a sense of threat there. Do

:12:53. > :12:55.you think, from what you know about her, the research, that it may have

:12:56. > :13:00.affected the way she ruled and the way she was in her later life? It

:13:01. > :13:04.seems to me that her early experiences, the fact that her

:13:05. > :13:09.father executed her mother, his sister's marriage was so disastrous,

:13:10. > :13:13.and then this moment, the fact that she writes, let him not touch me,

:13:14. > :13:18.that is kind of a motto for the rest of her life, the virgin Queen, she

:13:19. > :13:22.never marries, despite being begged by her parliament and her courtiers

:13:23. > :13:28.and councillors to do so. I am sure that has to have some bearing on the

:13:29. > :13:32.fact. And this is an instance where modern historians have a different

:13:33. > :13:34.perspective, because we now know what sexual abuse can do to

:13:35. > :13:38.children. Fascinating insight. Elizabeth I: Battle For the Throne

:13:39. > :13:41.starts on Channel 5 tonight at 9pm. That's all from

:13:42. > :13:43.Breakfast this morning. We'll be back from six

:13:44. > :13:44.tomorrow morning. But now it's time for

:13:45. > :13:49.Rip Off Britain with Angela Rippon, We asked you to tell us what's left

:13:50. > :13:51.you feeling ripped off, and you contacted us

:13:52. > :13:54.in your thousands. You've told us about the companies

:13:55. > :13:57.you think get it wrong and the customer service

:13:58. > :14:01.that simply is not up to scratch.
