:00:00. > :00:08.Hello, this is Breakfast, with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:00:09. > :00:11.Brexit dominates the first big TV debate of the election campaign.

:00:12. > :00:15.Leaders of five parties - but not Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn

:00:16. > :00:20.- go head to head for the debate on ITV.

:00:21. > :00:23.This morning we have the first of our leaders' interviews

:00:24. > :00:39.with Nicola Sturgeon and Tim Farron on the Breakfast sofa.

:00:40. > :00:54.New figures suggest thousands of police officers across the UK have

:00:55. > :00:56.not had up-to-date background checks to ensure they are suitable to

:00:57. > :00:56.serve. The first UK airport

:00:57. > :00:59.to replace its control tower overlooking the runway,

:01:00. > :01:01.with a virtual centre Whether it's cool beers in Crete

:01:02. > :01:05.or ice-creams in Ibiza - the cost of a break this half

:01:06. > :01:08.term is up almost 10%. I'll be looking at what's pushed up

:01:09. > :01:11.prices, and what you should do And in sport, Leicester

:01:12. > :01:16.are given a caning. The outgoing champions are hit

:01:17. > :01:18.for six by Tottenham, as Harry Kane scores four,

:01:19. > :01:21.and is now favourite to finish the season as the premier

:01:22. > :01:23.league's top scorer, And Matt goes back to the jurassic

:01:24. > :01:37.period in Birmingham Yes. Good morning. My guest may be

:01:38. > :01:40.prehistoric but it is all about the weekend forecast. It contains a

:01:41. > :01:41.little bit more rain and sunshine as well. Details in 15 minutes.

:01:42. > :01:46.Brexit dominated the televised leaders' debate, which was held last

:01:47. > :01:49.night despite the absence of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn.

:01:50. > :01:53.The ITV event saw little disagreement between the Lib Dems,

:01:54. > :01:55.Green Party, Plaid Cymru and SNP as they repeatedly clashed

:01:56. > :02:06.Our political correspondent Tom Symonds reports.

:02:07. > :02:16.Five party leaders took part. Four support Britain remaining in the EU.

:02:17. > :02:20.And in the absence of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn, they turned on

:02:21. > :02:24.the one leader who did not, Paul Michael. Attacking his support for a

:02:25. > :02:30.hard Brexit and his tough line on immigration. Theresa May not have

:02:31. > :02:34.the guts to be here tonight but her spokesman in the form of Paul

:02:35. > :02:38.Marshall seems to be here tonight. I know immigration is a difficult

:02:39. > :02:41.topic for politicians. People have understandable concerns. When we

:02:42. > :02:45.speak about European migrants, we talk about people who work in the

:02:46. > :02:50.National health service, whose service in our restaurants. People

:02:51. > :02:54.who make a contribution. The Ukip leader said Brexit would offer

:02:55. > :02:58.Britain enormous trade opportunities and controlling immigration would

:02:59. > :03:02.free up pressure on resources. One of the reasons that wages have

:03:03. > :03:08.stagnated in recent years and had probably stagnated since about 2004

:03:09. > :03:15.is because of immigration levels. We have an oversupply of labour in this

:03:16. > :03:21.country. It is as simple as that. The leader of the Greens said there

:03:22. > :03:26.was no question for which the answer from Ukip was not immigration. As

:03:27. > :03:30.for Labour,... Not only did they give the Tories a blank cheque for

:03:31. > :03:34.the hard Brexit they gave them to lift to the bank and help them to

:03:35. > :03:37.cash it in. The Liberal Democrats are offering a second vote on

:03:38. > :03:42.whether Britain should a future Brexit deal. Their leader believes

:03:43. > :03:48.it is better that people decide than Theresa May. She is putting together

:03:49. > :03:52.a plan which appeases poor muscle and Nigel Farage that damages the

:03:53. > :03:56.future of our children. That is why you should have the final say on

:03:57. > :04:04.Brexit. The leader of Plaid Cymru was concerned that restrictions on

:04:05. > :04:09.trade protest Brexit could harm Wales's aerospace companies by

:04:10. > :04:15.introducing stiff tariffs. 6500 well-paid jobs in Wales that you are

:04:16. > :04:23.prepared to lose. We have a huge trading deficit... Twice under fire,

:04:24. > :04:26.poor muscle confuse the names of his tormentor. Audience members asked

:04:27. > :04:30.how the leaders would invest in schools, hospitals and social care

:04:31. > :04:34.in the future of younger people. There was general agreement - money

:04:35. > :04:37.would need to be found. When you get's poor muscle insisted there

:04:38. > :04:49.would be a financial benefit to Britain leaving the EU this was the

:04:50. > :04:57.reaction... Over talk. A reference to the infamous idol bust and the

:04:58. > :05:03.promise of ?350 million for the NHS. Will that bus come driving past at

:05:04. > :05:04.any minute? Brexit continues to dominate this unexpected election

:05:05. > :05:05.race. We're joined now by our political

:05:06. > :05:08.correspondent Eleanor Garnier. The leaders' debate was last night,

:05:09. > :05:27.but the front pages are all Unsurprisingly. We think a few

:05:28. > :05:32.things stand out from the manifesto yesterday. Yes, we sought to reach a

:05:33. > :05:37.position in her party firmly in the centre ground with her distinctive

:05:38. > :05:41.agenda. We saw a string of policies for working families and for those

:05:42. > :05:45.on low incomes. A cap on energy prices and stronger protections for

:05:46. > :05:50.rights and the work place, help for those who are poorer and paying for

:05:51. > :05:58.social care with that means test threshold raised up to $100,000 --

:05:59. > :06:03.pounds. It was a clear break from the David Cameron is a with the

:06:04. > :06:07.pension lock on the tax lock on, the Winter fuel payments pull back a

:06:08. > :06:11.bit. But this positioning as risky as well, taking away benefits from

:06:12. > :06:16.some older people. Theresa May and her team will be aware of alienating

:06:17. > :06:20.some traditional Tory voters. And labour this morning as saying that

:06:21. > :06:24.the Conservatives this morning have returned to being the nasty party

:06:25. > :06:26.again. They say 10 million pensioners could lose their winter

:06:27. > :06:32.fuel payments because of the ideas that Theresa may want to put in

:06:33. > :06:37.place. They it a shameful attack on older people. The Tories say,

:06:38. > :06:40.actually, they are have yet to cost and work out the means testing for

:06:41. > :06:45.these Winter fuel changes. I am tempted to say thank you, naturally.

:06:46. > :06:47.But instead, thank you, Ellen. We'll be speaking to Lib Dem leader

:06:48. > :07:02.Tim Farron just after seven and SNP If you have any further questions,

:07:03. > :07:07.do let us know. Thousands of police officers across the UK have not had

:07:08. > :07:12.up-to-date background checks to ensure they are suitable to serve.

:07:13. > :07:16.BBC analysis of figures obtained under a Freedom of information

:07:17. > :07:21.request show that 90% of officers in one force have not been properly

:07:22. > :07:27.vetted. If a planned programme of retrospective vetting is due to

:07:28. > :07:32.start but the inspectorate is urging forces to address the matter

:07:33. > :07:38.urgently. The man who drove a car along three blocks in New York has

:07:39. > :07:41.killed an 18-year-old woman and injured 22 others. The man had been

:07:42. > :07:47.arrested twice before for drunk driving. Police said he claimed to

:07:48. > :07:50.hear voices. He is now in custody. The Mayor of New York said there was

:07:51. > :07:53.no indication was an act of terrorism.

:07:54. > :07:58.American warplanes at operating over Syria have attacked a convoy

:07:59. > :07:59.carrying pro-government militia forces.

:08:00. > :08:04.it was moving towards a base, used by Western special forces

:08:05. > :08:08.Last month, the Americans fired 59 cruise missiles at a Syrian

:08:09. > :08:11.But Washington has insisted its latest military action does not

:08:12. > :08:14.mean it is stepping up its role in the Syrian war.

:08:15. > :08:17.The Japanese government has approved plans to allow Emperor Akihito

:08:18. > :08:20.to step down - the first abdication for two centuries.

:08:21. > :08:23.The cabinet has backed draft legislation, which will now be sent

:08:24. > :08:26.The emperor, who's 83, indicated last year his desire

:08:27. > :08:35.Instagram and Snapchat are the worst social media platforms for young

:08:36. > :08:36.people's mental health and wellbeing, according

:08:37. > :08:43.Almost 1,500 people aged 14 to 24 were asked

:08:44. > :08:46.to rate sites on their impact on anxiety, depression,

:08:47. > :08:52.The Royal Society for Public Health said YouTube had the most positive

:08:53. > :08:57.impact on mental health, followed by Twitter and Facebook.

:08:58. > :09:01.A BBC investigation has found flaws in HSBC's biometric bank security.

:09:02. > :09:04.Its Voice ID system recognises customers' speech patterns to grant

:09:05. > :09:14.HSBC says every person's voice is unique and that

:09:15. > :09:18.But the Click technology programme has shown that it is possible

:09:19. > :09:21.for someone to log into an account that's not their own.

:09:22. > :09:35.passwords, key fobs and apps have all been used to protect us. But

:09:36. > :09:38.over the last year, a new gold standard insecurity has emerged -

:09:39. > :09:42.biometrics. Like fingerprints, the human voice is unique to each of us

:09:43. > :09:47.and he just these are, along with other banks, has started using voice

:09:48. > :09:51.of its customers as their password. They say it's secure. But a simple

:09:52. > :10:02.experiment with my nonidentical twin brother... Proves otherwise. My

:10:03. > :10:06.financial details and the ability to transfer money wide open. I'm

:10:07. > :10:09.absolutely shocked. Under no circumstances should to different

:10:10. > :10:15.people be able to access the same bank account with voice biometric

:10:16. > :10:19.authentication. Every voice is unique but it is up to the system to

:10:20. > :10:26.differentiate between voices and it is not done so in this case. Unlike

:10:27. > :10:28.a password, a voices public. And experts worry that artificial

:10:29. > :10:33.intelligence software can synthesise voices so well that it would soon be

:10:34. > :10:38.able to clone a voice from a sample of 30 seconds or less. A tool which

:10:39. > :10:42.could make the hacker's job much easier. In response to our terms to

:10:43. > :10:58.the bank said... Most experts agree that by making

:10:59. > :11:03.security more personal, you make it more secure. But if your voice can

:11:04. > :11:08.be copied that unlike passwords, it may be difficult to get a new one.

:11:09. > :11:09.Dan Simmons, BBC News. It's by the American artist

:11:10. > :11:13.Jean-Michel Basquiat - and it's just sold at auction

:11:14. > :11:19.for more than ?84 million. The 1982 piece, which is untitled,

:11:20. > :11:23.sparked a bidding war at the sale in New York before securing

:11:24. > :11:41.the highest price ever paid I am glad you said it was an titled

:11:42. > :11:44.because I just spent the last five minutes trying to find online what

:11:45. > :11:50.its title is. You know what it's worth, but not what it is called. It

:11:51. > :11:57.looks like an angry face. It draws you in, doesn't it, but it is quite

:11:58. > :12:04.angry. ?84 million and you could buy a decent football player. Or three

:12:05. > :12:11.average ones. Which would you rather have? Just one footballer, just a

:12:12. > :12:18.kick around the garden with. You would have no chance. And Harry

:12:19. > :12:19.Kane, on fire to be the top scorer once again.

:12:20. > :12:21.Harry Kane edges closer to the Premier League golden

:12:22. > :12:25.He scores four goals taking his season tally to 26

:12:26. > :12:27.as Tottenham thrash Leicester by six goals to one.

:12:28. > :12:31.Celtic were also in high scoring mode - they hit five past

:12:32. > :12:33.Partick Thistle, extending their unbeaten run in Scotland

:12:34. > :12:39.and lifting their season tally to a record-equalling 103 points.

:12:40. > :12:43.Diving or feigning injury could now be punished with a ban if officials

:12:44. > :12:49.It's one of a number of reforms voted through by the FA yesterday.

:12:50. > :12:52.And Johanna Konta's time in Rome comes to an end.

:12:53. > :12:55.She's beaten in three sets at the Italian Open,

:12:56. > :12:57.by seven-time Grand Slam winner Venus Williams.

:12:58. > :13:03.The second grand slam of the year, the French Open, begins on Monday.

:13:04. > :13:09.We will return in a moment with the newspapers including what sort of

:13:10. > :13:15.body shape you are, Charlie. Whether or not you are the same as David

:13:16. > :13:20.Beckham. It applies to all men. Isn't that rather personal? I have

:13:21. > :13:28.worked it out already. An inverted triangle. It is subjective. We will

:13:29. > :13:35.find out more in a moment. In his dreams, that is. I'm confused now.

:13:36. > :13:40.The body shape thing, we have been distracted. We have some unusual

:13:41. > :13:56.body shapes with Matt this morning. Good morning. Good morning. Say

:13:57. > :13:59.hello to my friend, trust me it will come into action shortly. I am at

:14:00. > :14:05.the Birmingham Botanic Gardens, in the Midlands. These dinosaurs will

:14:06. > :14:12.be here, rain or not, over the coming month, as we see the

:14:13. > :14:18.exhibition begins. It starts its tour around the UK. More of these

:14:19. > :14:21.dinosaurs corrupt the morning. Looking at the details for today,

:14:22. > :14:25.quite a bit of rain across some parts of the country. There is more

:14:26. > :14:32.to come for some of you today, especially in eastern parts of the

:14:33. > :14:37.UK. It's not as -- especially wet here. Clouding over quickly towards

:14:38. > :14:41.these. And east and west split. The best of the brightness towards

:14:42. > :14:43.Lancashire and Cumbria. East of the Pennines outbreaks of rain.

:14:44. > :14:49.Affecting the Midlands, east Anglia and the south-east. The heaviest

:14:50. > :14:52.rain further north. Towards the south, you overnight rain clears

:14:53. > :14:56.away, with brighter skies developing towards the mid-morning. Further

:14:57. > :15:02.west into the sunshine, a chilly start. Scotland, parts of south-west

:15:03. > :15:05.England and Wales. Frost on the grass. Maybe a couple of showers in

:15:06. > :15:10.Devon and Cornwall, but most darting dry and sunny. Chilly start in

:15:11. > :15:16.Northern Ireland. Make the most of the morning sunshine. Gradually

:15:17. > :15:20.cladding over. A few showers around. The odd heavy one. Eastern Scotland

:15:21. > :15:24.turns cloudy through the afternoon. Wet, misty and murky in the

:15:25. > :15:26.north-east of England. Across much of England and Wales heavy,

:15:27. > :15:34.potentially thundery, showers developing. In the sunshine of 217

:15:35. > :15:37.degrees. 11- 12 drew some parts of eastern Scotland and north-east

:15:38. > :15:42.England, where it stays wet. -- through. The cloud of outbreaks of

:15:43. > :15:45.rain through the night will become more confined to Scotland. Still a

:15:46. > :15:50.few showers in England, Wales and Northern Ireland in particular. With

:15:51. > :15:55.clear skies in between it will be on the cool side. It could rule out a

:15:56. > :15:58.touch of frost in the Saturday morning across the rural parts of

:15:59. > :16:03.England and Wales in particular. We start the weekend in Scotland with

:16:04. > :16:07.cloudy weather tomorrow. Occasional rain and drizzle, which will come

:16:08. > :16:10.and go all day in the far north of Scotland. Elsewhere we have sunshine

:16:11. > :16:14.drew the morning, then shower clouds develop. Some of them will be heavy

:16:15. > :16:20.and thundery. You could be a bit of hail mixed in. Some of you avoid the

:16:21. > :16:23.showers altogether. The best of the sunshine around coastal districts in

:16:24. > :16:26.the south and west. Temperatures much like today, into the mid or

:16:27. > :16:31.high teens across many areas. Coolest of all in northern parts of

:16:32. > :16:34.Scotland. A cool start to Sunday. A dry day on Sunday. Some rain

:16:35. > :16:39.initially Northern Ireland, spreading west of Portland. Away

:16:40. > :16:45.from that, long spells of sunshine. -- west of Scotland. The better

:16:46. > :16:48.chance of dry weather on Sunday. With winds in a southerly direction

:16:49. > :16:53.it will feel warmer. Temperatures reaching 20 degrees in some southern

:16:54. > :16:57.and eastern parts of England. More details on that corrupt the morning

:16:58. > :17:01.and more from my friends as well once they kicked into gear.

:17:02. > :17:06.We can't wait to hear what they have to say!

:17:07. > :17:08.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:17:09. > :17:11.The main stories this morning: Party leaders clash in the first TV debate

:17:12. > :17:16.Brexit was high on the agenda, but both Theresa May

:17:17. > :17:20.A BBC investigation finds thousands of police officers across the UK

:17:21. > :17:22.have not had up-to-date background checks to ensure

:17:23. > :17:45.Sean is here with us now. We have been talking about you. I don't know

:17:46. > :17:50.if any of you stayed up last night to watch the leader's debate. I

:17:51. > :17:54.don't think the papers did. There is one story really

:17:55. > :18:02.dominating. The images of Theresa May. The Conservative manifesto

:18:03. > :18:07.launched yesterday, the Mail says, not afraid to be honest with you.

:18:08. > :18:09.Looking at some of the proposals in the Conservative manifesto.

:18:10. > :18:17.Interesting to see how the different papers have covered the manifesto.

:18:18. > :18:20.The Tory manifesto is shock, talking about the number of old age

:18:21. > :18:24.pensioners who will be due to lose the Winter fuel allowance.

:18:25. > :18:29.Clearly they do a lot of work. The politicians on what images are going

:18:30. > :18:32.to come across. That one of the Daily Telegraph, you can see what

:18:33. > :18:36.the party was trying to get across. Holding a manifesto. Should they

:18:37. > :18:43.have thought this one through better? Times. You can see the open

:18:44. > :18:48.arms. That's the image she wants to betray, but she has got the extra

:18:49. > :18:51.arms in that shadow. -- portray. A lot of thought goes into them. But

:18:52. > :18:59.not everything! What have you got? I've being

:19:00. > :19:05.completely distracted by whatever Mike's got. In the Guardian today,

:19:06. > :19:11.there is this story saying that 80% of people expect price rises this

:19:12. > :19:15.year and they've seen sales rise in menswear, healthier food and sales

:19:16. > :19:19.for her removal products and bread. But on the whole people are

:19:20. > :19:24.expecting prices to kick in even more than they have this year. So we

:19:25. > :19:33.are trying to eat more healthily but we are getting more hairy? Yes, and

:19:34. > :19:41.into less bread. Very specific! One other one I wanted to get him. We've

:19:42. > :19:46.been talking about this digit -- fidget spinners. Apparently she

:19:47. > :19:50.couldn't afford the patents, the creator, so she has been missing out

:19:51. > :19:56.on millions. Apparently it is in loads of schools at the moment. Back

:19:57. > :20:01.in 2005, she had the chance to patents it, she is from Florida, she

:20:02. > :20:05.didn't and the next thing you know, 12 years later, everybody is buying

:20:06. > :20:12.them. Such a simple thing as well. But what a legacy to leave. There we

:20:13. > :20:16.go. Never mind the money. A quick reflection on the FA.

:20:17. > :20:21.Changing rules. On Monday in future they can look upon footage from the

:20:22. > :20:26.weekend as part of a panel and decide to give a player, if they

:20:27. > :20:29.think a player has died or cheated, a match ban. At the moment is hard

:20:30. > :20:34.to tell. So they can do that retrospectively. In the Mirror they

:20:35. > :20:40.reckon a study has been done to show the five shapes of man. Apparently

:20:41. > :20:44.42% of British chaps are the same as David Beckham, rectangle. Apparently

:20:45. > :20:54.David Beckham has the rectangular torso. Then have the Triangle, the

:20:55. > :21:06.Daniel Craig, the rumble -- romboid. Sort of level. The Triangle means

:21:07. > :21:14.you are wider at the top, at the shoulders. Is this your natural

:21:15. > :21:21.body? Yes, your natural body. The five types, rectangle, Triangle,

:21:22. > :21:26.romboid, or in inverted triangle. Just the way you are.

:21:27. > :21:35.On the subject of missing out on things. Air miles, did you know you

:21:36. > :21:37.could put them in your will? No.

:21:38. > :21:44.They die if you die, unless you've made specific provisions for them,

:21:45. > :21:49.according to this story. Many people would think putting air miles in

:21:50. > :21:52.your will is laughable, but it's a sensible thing to do because they

:21:53. > :21:59.can be kept. Did you know that? I didn't know

:22:00. > :22:01.that. I will be in touch with anybody I know who collect air

:22:02. > :22:08.miles! Thank you very much. One of Britain's airports

:22:09. > :22:11.is moving it's control tower around 100 miles away

:22:12. > :22:19.from the actual runway. London City Airport is to become the

:38:00. > :38:05.botanical gardens looking like this, do you? Animated dinosaurs, this one

:38:06. > :38:15.just beside me. This is... Let me get this right... AAE... I forgot it

:38:16. > :38:24.already. Its name means armoured head and it is among the animated

:38:25. > :38:30.dinosaurs here, on a tour around the UK. Trust me, when they get into

:38:31. > :38:35.gear they make a lot of noise as you can hear. Causing a bit of noise

:38:36. > :38:39.this morning as the rain dripping down. If we have a look at the

:38:40. > :38:43.forecast for this morning across the UK in it is one which will contain

:38:44. > :38:48.rain for some of us. Not everywhere, however. Start strike Scotland this

:38:49. > :38:55.morning with frost around. There is a sunshine is what to do with it.

:38:56. > :38:59.Cloud over eastern areas. To the use of the Pennines, outbreaks of rain

:39:00. > :39:05.will continue off in Yorkshire. A damp start through the Midlands. The

:39:06. > :39:09.rain will be light after heavy bursts in the night. Things will

:39:10. > :39:13.gradually brighten up. In the south-west and Wales this is where

:39:14. > :39:18.we have sunshine at the moment. A little bit of frost as well. There

:39:19. > :39:20.could be an odd shower but most places starting dry. Northern

:39:21. > :39:25.Ireland has some sunshine and a little bit of frost around as well.

:39:26. > :39:29.Wind is like for many at the moment that there is a breeze blowing

:39:30. > :39:33.across eastern counties. That will continue through the day with

:39:34. > :39:38.outbreaks pushing into Scotland. An extensive mist and low cloud to go

:39:39. > :39:42.with it. Sunshine elsewhere, yes, but heavy and potential thundery

:39:43. > :39:46.showers in the afternoon. Some of those showers could be on the nasty

:39:47. > :39:51.side. In between no showers, temperatures will reach around 18 or

:39:52. > :39:56.19 degrees. Tonight, the rain becomes confined to parts of

:39:57. > :40:02.Scotland, and is tonight to come here with outbreaks of rain. Clear

:40:03. > :40:10.skies elsewhere, a couple of showers and a fine start for many on

:40:11. > :40:14.Saturday, start with claggy outbreaks, in the northern half of

:40:15. > :40:21.Scotland later on, elsewhere in China showers will take through the

:40:22. > :40:24.rest of the day. If the showers through the southern and western

:40:25. > :40:28.coasts. Into Sunday that looks like a dry day by and large. We will have

:40:29. > :40:32.rain in Northern Ireland and western parts of Scotland. But we will start

:40:33. > :40:36.to see a lot of sunshine develop across the southern and eastern

:40:37. > :40:41.areas. On Sunday looks at the driest weather will be across England and

:40:42. > :40:46.east of Scotland and will see wind coming from the south on Sunday it

:40:47. > :40:51.will start to feel a little bit warmer as well. But on Sunday could

:40:52. > :40:57.reach around 20 degrees. Essentially for today, rain across the east,

:40:58. > :41:01.sunshine and showers elsewhere. Warmer and drier for many by Sunday.

:41:02. > :41:06.That is how it looks. I need to try and remember the names of my

:41:07. > :41:09.dinosaurs. I will hanker back now. If somebody just started watching

:41:10. > :41:13.your weather forecast halfway through they would have thought you

:41:14. > :41:17.were having a loud tummy rumble because of all the dinosaur roaring.

:41:18. > :41:19.At this time of morning, that certainly is possible. Go and have

:41:20. > :41:30.your breakfast. Thank you. Growing numbers of banks are using

:41:31. > :41:34.voice recognition for customers to access their accounts. In theory you

:41:35. > :41:37.get a high degree of security without having to remember a PIN

:41:38. > :41:42.number. That there is questions this morning about whether or not the

:41:43. > :41:50.system is as safe as the banks claim. We speak to Dan Simmons from

:41:51. > :41:51.Leak. Can you explain to us, what your trial showed.

:41:52. > :42:02.What happened? I decided to get my nonidentical twin brother to try to

:42:03. > :42:07.copy my voice and break into my bank account. My real bank account with

:42:08. > :42:13.HSBC. He needed my account number and my short code and date of birth.

:42:14. > :42:17.He knows that, of course, but those are not regarded as secure

:42:18. > :42:21.information. Bits of information to get in. So with those bits of

:42:22. > :42:26.information all he had to do was say my voice is my password fairly

:42:27. > :42:34.similar to how I might say it and on the eighth attempt of trying he

:42:35. > :42:39.managed to break in. Well... I don't think we can hear your two voices

:42:40. > :42:44.but you tell me - how similar are your voices? That is the first thing

:42:45. > :42:50.people want to know. We are kind of alike but on the day we did it he

:42:51. > :42:54.had a nightmare overnight and did not sleep, nothing like that. Some

:42:55. > :42:58.people will wake up this morning feeling exactly the same when you

:42:59. > :43:02.through those creaky and you are uncertain. We did not think this

:43:03. > :43:14.would work, because of that. We do not sound too alike and we have had

:43:15. > :43:18.experts saying any system should be itself apart regardless. This has

:43:19. > :43:22.been trumpeted as a secure system but in what is a low-tech trial, he

:43:23. > :43:26.seemed were broken in. It is important to say that in the

:43:27. > :43:32.majority of cases biotechnology and biometrics which measures something

:43:33. > :43:36.about what you are which is something like your fingerprint or

:43:37. > :43:42.your voice, for example, is very secure. But it is not infallible.

:43:43. > :43:47.And when we hear reports of a bank saying that we should rely on this

:43:48. > :43:52.and it was secure. In this counter was the only factor we really needed

:43:53. > :43:57.to get in. When it does fail, that is serious. When we speak about

:43:58. > :44:00.issues to do with security, we think about things like people stealing

:44:01. > :44:03.identities and social media, issues around that. What about the notion

:44:04. > :44:10.of people cloning voices? What about that becoming a legitimate

:44:11. > :44:15.criminal... Well, as a legitimate, you know, a criminal activity. That

:44:16. > :44:21.could be possible. Google are looking into this. Adobe are looking

:44:22. > :44:25.into it. We spoke to a company called Firebird in Canada who are

:44:26. > :44:28.all looking at mimicking voices and there is some concern that they

:44:29. > :44:32.could get so good, especially with artificial intelligence, this whole

:44:33. > :44:36.biometric system could be fooled a lot more in future. And, remember,

:44:37. > :44:40.you change your password of something like this happens. You

:44:41. > :44:46.cannot change your voice. I am looking at the statement from the

:44:47. > :44:49.bank and it was their system, hate SBC, they say that the safety and

:44:50. > :45:01.security of their account is most important. Voice recognition is a

:45:02. > :45:05.secure method for our companies -- customers. Many companies using

:45:06. > :45:09.this? This is the way will go, regardless of the flaws that appear?

:45:10. > :45:14.It about managing risk, isn't it? How often does it happen and can

:45:15. > :45:17.they manage it. They take the liability of someone goes wrong you

:45:18. > :45:23.might say that these sort of OK. As a privacy issue there, I think there

:45:24. > :45:27.is a protection issue, to be fair. Berkeley is and another bank in this

:45:28. > :45:30.country are both using voice biometrics. A different system, but

:45:31. > :45:35.they do use it. Citibank in the United States uses it. Over 1

:45:36. > :45:39.million customers there. It is coming, if you do not have already,

:45:40. > :45:44.along with a of other biometric test. The risk at the moment is on

:45:45. > :45:48.the side of the bank as far as money is concerned. I could not withdraw

:45:49. > :45:52.money out, by the way, we could not do that in a test but that may be

:45:53. > :45:55.coming further down the line in future. So there are a few initial

:45:56. > :45:56.warning signs that we have discovered with this investigation

:45:57. > :46:03.we did for our technology show. And you can see more

:46:04. > :46:10.on this on Click, here on Breakfast

:46:11. > :46:12.tomorrow at 6:50am. Half term is approaching

:46:13. > :46:15.and if you are one of the families But the cost of doing

:46:16. > :46:23.so is creeping up. We've spoken a lot about prices

:46:24. > :46:27.going up generally, but this holidays and little bit faster than

:46:28. > :46:30.everything else. We spoke about inflation, if you look at the cost

:46:31. > :46:38.of a family holiday last year competed this month costs are up

:46:39. > :46:40.about 8%, about ?280 on average. What's going on?

:46:41. > :46:49.Zoe Dawes is a travel expert and joins me now.

:46:50. > :46:56.M bank say it is about the weak pound. Is it just that? It is, but

:46:57. > :46:59.there's a general situation in the world where people are changing

:47:00. > :47:01.their holiday plans, so certain places have become less popular and

:47:02. > :47:07.others therefore become more popular. Uncertainty about Brexit.

:47:08. > :47:13.So a condonation of a lot of things that has made this happen. So the

:47:14. > :47:16.areas that are becoming more popular, for whatever reason,

:47:17. > :47:20.whether terrorism or exchange rates, are the more popular areas more

:47:21. > :47:26.expensive? Yes. Even places like, for instance, Spain, Turkey is

:47:27. > :47:35.becoming less so, so popular resorts like Spain and Greece have gone up.

:47:36. > :47:37.But also some of the resorts are getting really expensive, so it's

:47:38. > :47:42.about searching out lesser-known places. We are hearing a lot

:47:43. > :47:49.about... We know wages aren't going up as quickly as prices. Is that

:47:50. > :47:56.having an effect on where people are deciding to go on holiday as well?

:47:57. > :48:00.Yes. I mean, the holidaymaker is becoming more discerning and they

:48:01. > :48:04.will have to because of the way prices are rocketing. It isn't just

:48:05. > :48:07.8%, I had a look at something recently where there was one

:48:08. > :48:13.particular holiday, I think to the US, it was over half term and it was

:48:14. > :48:19.800% more than it had been out of season. So it is the combination of

:48:20. > :48:23.the two. On that, is there anything about it being half term, are they

:48:24. > :48:28.still putting up prices even during that period? Yes. As any parent out

:48:29. > :48:33.there knows, I knew when my son was in school, they've got you over a

:48:34. > :48:38.barrel because it's a market led thing. Definitely more expensive.

:48:39. > :48:45.That doesn't seem to be easing off either. Thank you very much. There

:48:46. > :48:50.you go, prices up pretty much a percent at least. 800% compared to

:48:51. > :48:53.out of term time. -- 8%. The big issue for parents.

:48:54. > :49:00.It doesn't seem to be budging. Thanks very much.

:49:01. > :49:02.Competitive computer gaming, or esports, has rocketed

:49:03. > :49:07.And as audiences increase, so do calls for it to be included

:49:08. > :49:09.in world-wide sporting events such as the Olympics.

:49:10. > :49:12.This weekend some of the worlds best gamers

:49:13. > :49:15.are gathering at the O2 in London for the Vainglory Spring

:49:16. > :49:17.Championships, one of the biggest events in the calendar.

:49:18. > :49:26.You look like you are having too much fun already!

:49:27. > :49:33.Good morning. I was pretty good at Pacman when I was a kid, what I'm

:49:34. > :49:37.not sure about Vainglory. The gaming industry is huge, worth billions of

:49:38. > :49:41.pounds, but did you know that people will gather places like this,

:49:42. > :49:47.thousands of people, to watch people playing games? As I say, competitive

:49:48. > :49:55.gaming, or at eSports, to give it its umbrella term, is now an

:49:56. > :50:02.absolutely huge deal. This weekend at the O2, the Vainglory

:50:03. > :50:06.Championships. People are playing from their own living rooms. I met

:50:07. > :50:09.up with one team as they prepare to do battle themselves.

:50:10. > :50:20.Eyes, fingers, brains. Primed and approaching peak condition. We've

:50:21. > :50:24.been practising a lot. Team Eminem feature some of the UK's top

:50:25. > :50:28.gainers, who are living together in a house for one month, training

:50:29. > :50:34.eight hours a day. How is it going? Going good. This boot Camp will

:50:35. > :50:40.prepare them for the League of Legends European Championship. There

:50:41. > :50:45.is also going through your games and video analysis, so you can point out

:50:46. > :50:50.where errors are at something you could work on, where you could have

:50:51. > :50:58.done the game better. We are just trying to use this pressure instead.

:50:59. > :51:03.Can I briefly interrupts? What are you talking about? It sounds a

:51:04. > :51:09.gobbledygook. We are talking about that kind of level that the average

:51:10. > :51:13.person would see and feel in again. League of Legends is a fantasy

:51:14. > :51:19.battle game. This is a recording of a recent team victory. I, however,

:51:20. > :51:24.are not very good. I think I died again. You died again. The

:51:25. > :51:30.tournament will see teams across Europe compete online. Like many

:51:31. > :51:33.eSport competitions, many fans are expected to just log on and watch.

:51:34. > :51:37.Some people don't want to play the game, they just want to watch

:51:38. > :51:42.others. Like mainstream sports, I love watching cricket. I am not much

:51:43. > :51:49.of a cricket player. It is ageing how it has grown. It will end

:51:50. > :51:54.rivalling mainstream sports! Say it is already doing just that. Life

:51:55. > :52:00.eSport tournaments come up like this one in Poland, attract thousands of

:52:01. > :52:04.fans. At London's O2, teams from the US and Europe will compete for this

:52:05. > :52:09.trophy and more than ?100,000 in prize money. The game they will be

:52:10. > :52:14.playing, Vainglory. It is insanely pressurised. Jasmine is a tournament

:52:15. > :52:19.referee, taking short play is fair and rules are enforced. It is

:52:20. > :52:24.definitely a sport. It might not a like physically taxing or new, but

:52:25. > :52:29.mentally, for you to work as a team, for you to train for hours and hours

:52:30. > :52:33.on end, reaction speeds and all of this, these are all elements that

:52:34. > :52:37.you find in actual sports. What an incredible fight coming in! I kindly

:52:38. > :52:46.to see what they will do next. These commentators travel the world to

:52:47. > :52:50.events like this. He can't find it! Some of the games are so complicated

:52:51. > :52:55.different to what usually expect, you need people to be able to

:52:56. > :52:56.translate that. The impact and growth of eSports is getting bigger

:52:57. > :53:05.and bigger. And it is thought more than 300

:53:06. > :53:10.million people across the world regularly watch or play eSports and

:53:11. > :53:16.that number is expected to double by 2020. A huge deal. James, you have

:53:17. > :53:23.organised this event. How big is eSports now? As you say, since about

:53:24. > :53:27.2020 we are finding the participation and viewership is

:53:28. > :53:33.getting large. We go from national tournaments of about 250,000 the

:53:34. > :53:38.finals, all the way up to 47 million over a weekend. It is really getting

:53:39. > :53:42.a place in the industry. This weekend you've got teams from

:53:43. > :53:48.America and Europe competing in Vainglory, the game I have here. How

:53:49. > :53:53.does the UK compared to those teams? We are a little bit behind. Although

:53:54. > :53:57.we have a huge player base, the UK market is the second-largest gaming

:53:58. > :54:01.market in Europe, but unfortunately the professionalism is just not

:54:02. > :54:05.there yet. We are doing our best to get that sorted. We have been

:54:06. > :54:09.running for five years already in the UK and we are getting at him now

:54:10. > :54:14.that can potentially qualify into one of the really big leagues. Will

:54:15. > :54:18.people be playing this game, because it is mobile, and it will be

:54:19. > :54:21.projected on the big screens, so the crowds can just watch people playing

:54:22. > :54:28.a game. Isn't that odd? Absolutely not. This is the cream of those

:54:29. > :54:34.players. The moves, the way they played, the strategy is all Supre --

:54:35. > :54:38.super interesting. A lot of people have this conundrum about screen

:54:39. > :54:42.time, especially if they have kids. Should they be looking at their

:54:43. > :54:48.phones playing games. You are making this harder for parents? There is

:54:49. > :54:52.that legacy, I suppose. But I work in an office and I probably look at

:54:53. > :54:56.a screen even more than a game. So it is part of everyday life and we

:54:57. > :55:00.have more than one screen in our lives. And some of these games are

:55:01. > :55:03.making billions of pounds a year in prize money and sponsorship.

:55:04. > :55:06.Absolutely. The top players are in multimillions in terms of revenue,

:55:07. > :55:11.not just from prize money but also they stream online. They are a

:55:12. > :55:15.personality, a celebrity. A fascinating world. Thank you. I am

:55:16. > :55:19.going to keep practising. I convinced my parents when I was

:55:20. > :55:23.younger that I would be allowed to play video games. They said to get

:55:24. > :55:29.away from the screen. If I kept going I could have been rich!

:55:30. > :55:33.We will be back with Tim later. Isn't it extraordinary? Those guys

:55:34. > :55:36.are together in a house one month to practise.

:55:37. > :55:39.They need to get out of that occasionally.

:55:40. > :55:42.It can't be good for them! It could be, if their fortunes are being

:55:43. > :55:47.made! We have the leader of the Liberal

:55:48. > :55:52.Democrats coming up, at about 7:10am. Let us know if there is any

:55:53. > :55:53.particular question you want us to ask, especially after the leader's

:55:54. > :55:54.debate last night. Time now to get the news,

:55:55. > :59:14.travel and weather where you are. I'm back with the latest

:59:15. > :59:18.from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website

:59:19. > :59:46.at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast,

:59:47. > :59:49.with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent. Brexit dominates the first big TV

:59:50. > :59:52.debate of the election campaign. Leaders of five parties -

:59:53. > :59:55.but not Theresa May or Jeremy Corbyn - go head to head

:59:56. > :59:58.for the debate on ITV. This morning we have the first

:59:59. > :00:01.of our leaders' interviews with Nicola Sturgeon and Tim Farron

:00:02. > :00:11.on the Breakfast sofa. Thousands of police officers

:00:12. > :00:22.across the UK have not had up-to-date background checks

:00:23. > :00:35.to ensure they are suitable to the final episode of the three

:00:36. > :00:38.girls. We will discuss some of the issues it raised and speak to the

:00:39. > :00:40.prosecutor who featured in the drama.

:00:41. > :00:42.The first UK airport to replace its control tower

:00:43. > :00:44.overlooking the runway, with a virtual centre

:00:45. > :00:49.Is it better to buy a brand new home or do they they not make them

:00:50. > :00:53.A row is brewing about which is better made -

:00:54. > :00:58.And in sport, Leicester are given a caning.

:00:59. > :01:00.The outgoing champions are hit for six by Tottenham,

:01:01. > :01:03.as Harry Kane scores four, and is now favourite to finish

:01:04. > :01:05.the season as the premier league's top scorer,

:01:06. > :01:08.And Matt's out with the dinosaurs in Birmingham

:01:09. > :01:18.I certainly am. From Birmingham botanical gardens and the weekend

:01:19. > :01:23.forecast its better for many or you view after a wet day today. A bit

:01:24. > :01:28.warmer by Sunday. This little fellow, not too impressed with the

:01:29. > :01:31.forecast but he is certainly not happy at all. I will have the

:01:32. > :01:33.details in 15 minutes. Brexit dominated the televised

:01:34. > :01:39.leaders' debate, which was held last night despite the absence

:01:40. > :01:41.of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn. The ITV event saw little

:01:42. > :01:44.disagreement between the Lib Dems, Green Party, Plaid Cymru and SNP

:01:45. > :01:47.as they repeatedly clashed Our political correspondent

:01:48. > :01:55.Tom Symonds reports. Four support Britain

:01:56. > :02:02.remaining in the EU. And in the absence of Theresa May

:02:03. > :02:05.and Jeremy Corbyn, they turned on the one leader who did not,

:02:06. > :02:09.Paul Nuttall, attacking his support for a hard Brexit and his tough

:02:10. > :02:15.line on immigration. Theresa May not have the guts to be

:02:16. > :02:18.here tonight but her spokesman in the form of Paul Nuttall

:02:19. > :02:22.seems to be here tonight. I know immigration is a difficult

:02:23. > :02:24.topic for politicians. When we speak about European

:02:25. > :02:30.migrants, we talk about people who work in the National

:02:31. > :02:33.Health Service, whose The Ukip leader said

:02:34. > :02:39.Brexit would offer Britain enormous trade opportunities

:02:40. > :02:43.and controlling immigration One of the reasons that wages have

:02:44. > :02:50.stagnated in recent years and had probably stagnated since about 2004

:02:51. > :02:52.is because of immigration levels. We have an oversupply

:02:53. > :02:55.of labour in this country. The leader of the Greens said

:02:56. > :03:03.there was no question for which the answer from Ukip

:03:04. > :03:08.was not immigration. Not only did they give the Tories

:03:09. > :03:17.a blank cheque for the hard Brexit they gave them to lift to the bank

:03:18. > :03:21.and help them to cash it in. The Liberal Democrats are offering

:03:22. > :03:24.a second vote on whether Britain Their leader believes it is better

:03:25. > :03:32.that people decide than Theresa May. She is putting together a plan

:03:33. > :03:34.which appeases Paul Nuttalls and Nigel Farages that damages

:03:35. > :03:38.the future of our children. That is why you should

:03:39. > :03:42.have the final say on Brexit. The leader of Plaid Cymru

:03:43. > :03:46.was concerned that restrictions on trade post-Brexit could harm

:03:47. > :03:50.Wales's aerospace companies 6500 well-paid jobs

:03:51. > :03:59.in Wales that you are Twice under fire, Paul Nuttall

:04:00. > :04:10.confused the names of his tormentor. Audience members asked how

:04:11. > :04:14.the leaders would invest in schools, hospitals and social care

:04:15. > :04:17.in the future of younger people. There was general agreement -

:04:18. > :04:22.money would need to be found. When you get Paul Nuttall

:04:23. > :04:25.insistint there would be a financial benefit

:04:26. > :04:29.to Britain leaving the EU this A reference to the infamous battle

:04:30. > :04:43.bus and the promise of ?350 million Will that bus come driving

:04:44. > :04:48.past at any minute? Brexit continues to dominate this

:04:49. > :04:56.unexpected election race. We're joined now by our political

:04:57. > :04:58.correspondent Eleanor Garnier. The leaders' debate was last night,

:04:59. > :05:11.but the front pages are all There was a running joke that Ukip

:05:12. > :05:17.were there to represent the Conservative Party but the absence

:05:18. > :05:22.of Theresa May in Jeremy Corbyn did loom large. That is right. That is

:05:23. > :05:27.why today's papers and most of the gender and attention is still

:05:28. > :05:30.focused on the Tory manifesto which was launched by Theresa May in

:05:31. > :05:35.Halifax yesterday. A few things stand out from the manifesto. Yes

:05:36. > :05:39.that was the positioning by Theresa May, firmly putting the Conservative

:05:40. > :05:44.Party across the centre. We have had distinctive agenda. We saw more

:05:45. > :05:51.protections for working families, for those in the workplace. We saw a

:05:52. > :05:55.cap on energy prices, all aimed at lower income families. Poorer

:05:56. > :06:01.families as well, paying for social care with the means test threshold

:06:02. > :06:04.that the Tories wish to increase to ?100,000. They ditched the tax on

:06:05. > :06:09.the pensions lock and pulled back on the Winter fuel payment. This was a

:06:10. > :06:12.clear move away from the era of David Cameron and George Osborne.

:06:13. > :06:16.That positioning is also risky. Pulling back some of the benefits

:06:17. > :06:24.for pensioners could be difficult and Theresa May and her team now

:06:25. > :06:27.that they will be aware of the danger of potentially alienating

:06:28. > :06:31.some traditional Tory voters. That is what Labour are focusing on this

:06:32. > :06:36.morning. They say this is the Conservative Party returning to

:06:37. > :06:40.become the nasty party. They say 10 million pensioners could be hit and

:06:41. > :06:44.lose their winter fuel payments as a result of the changes that Theresa

:06:45. > :06:48.May wants to bring in. Labour called it a shameful attack on older

:06:49. > :06:52.people. The Tories will say they have yet to work out the details of

:06:53. > :06:56.how the means testing on the Winter fuel allowance will work and as yet

:06:57. > :07:00.do not know how many people will be affected. A reminder our first

:07:01. > :07:01.leader interviews kick off today. We'll be speaking to Lib Dem leader

:07:02. > :07:05.Tim Farron in about five minutes and SNP leader Nicola

:07:06. > :07:13.Sturgeon after eight. Many of you have been sending us

:07:14. > :07:15.questions for both of them. Please do keep talking to us. We have some

:07:16. > :07:17.wonderful questions coming in. Thousands of police officers

:07:18. > :07:19.across the UK have not had up-to-date background checks to

:07:20. > :07:22.ensure they are suitable to serve. under a Freedom of information

:07:23. > :07:27.request show that 90% of officers in one force have not been properly

:07:28. > :07:40.vetted. In 2012, the Association of Chief

:07:41. > :07:43.police officers recommended a thorough background vetting for all

:07:44. > :07:47.police officers and community support officers. It is a process

:07:48. > :07:50.that takes several months and checks on all aspects of the person's

:07:51. > :08:00.background. It is designed to ensure that nobody unsuitable is employed.

:08:01. > :08:03.Peter Bunyan was a port officer, jailed for misconduct in 2013 after

:08:04. > :08:07.using the police database to contact women. An investigation by the

:08:08. > :08:10.Independent police complaints commission found he would have been

:08:11. > :08:15.rejected if he had undergone proper vetting. The Devon and Cornwall

:08:16. > :08:19.police forces still has 100 frontline staff who are yet to be

:08:20. > :08:24.checked according to the latest guidelines. The BBC made a Freedom

:08:25. > :08:28.of information request, asking other forces are what the situation in the

:08:29. > :08:32.area was. It found that a total of almost 14,000 police officers had

:08:33. > :08:39.yet to undergo thorough checks. In Northumbria, almost nine from ten

:08:40. > :08:44.police officers, around 3000 people, had yet to be properly vetted. The

:08:45. > :08:48.force said a retrospective programme of vetting was about to start. Her

:08:49. > :08:53.Majesty 's Inspector of Constabulary said forces needed to address this

:08:54. > :08:57.matter urgently, while the police Federation, which represents

:08:58. > :08:58.rank-and-file officers, said it was disappointed to see such a huge

:08:59. > :09:04.backlog. Instagram and Snapchat are the worst

:09:05. > :09:07.social media platforms for young people's mental health

:09:08. > :09:09.and wellbeing, according Almost 1,500 people aged

:09:10. > :09:12.14 to 24 were asked to rate sites on their impact

:09:13. > :09:15.on anxiety, depression, The Royal Society for Public Health

:09:16. > :09:19.said YouTube had the most positive impact on mental health,

:09:20. > :09:25.followed by Twitter and Facebook. A BBC investigation has found flaws

:09:26. > :09:28.in HSBC's biometric bank security. Its Voice ID system recognises

:09:29. > :09:31.customers' speech patterns to grant HSBC says every person's

:09:32. > :09:37.voice is unique and that But the Click technology programme

:09:38. > :09:42.has shown that it is possible for someone to log into an account

:09:43. > :09:45.that's not their own. Passwords, key fobs and apps have

:09:46. > :09:51.all been used to protect us. But over the last year,

:09:52. > :09:55.a new gold standard in security has Like fingerprints, the human voice

:09:56. > :10:03.is unique to each of us and HSBC, along with other banks,

:11:47. > :11:50.in three weeks we should have result from the general election as it

:12:01. > :12:04.recovered from last night? It was a late night last night. It was good

:12:09. > :12:11.but there is plenty of time for that afterwards. Quickly looking through

:12:12. > :12:15.the papers this morning, read and if you can see these, the front page of

:12:16. > :12:19.the Telegraph, Theresa May is on the front. On the front page of the

:12:20. > :12:24.Times, on the Mirror, and the mail, are you a little bit disappointed

:12:25. > :12:28.that what you were talking about last night did not make enough

:12:29. > :12:31.impact to make it onto the front page today? I thought the debate

:12:32. > :12:35.went well last night and I thought that the most obvious thing was the

:12:36. > :12:39.fact that neither Jeremy Corbyn nor Theresa May goes to be there which

:12:40. > :12:44.is an insult to everybody out there who will cast a vote in a few days

:12:45. > :12:47.time. It is also a reminder, however, Theresa May approaches his

:12:48. > :12:51.election as if she has already won, she is taking everybody for example.

:12:52. > :12:56.You wouldn't decide to not turn up to a debate if you thought that you

:12:57. > :13:05.had any respect for those people who will cast a vote. The Conservative

:13:06. > :13:09.manifesto came out yesterday and it was some things. People should think

:13:10. > :13:16.very hard about giving a blank cheque to the Tory party, not less

:13:17. > :13:20.the new tax, an enormous hit on people, for people who have

:13:21. > :13:23.dementia. The impact on schools, taking away free school meals for

:13:24. > :13:27.infant schoolchildren, that is heartless and cruel. The kind of

:13:28. > :13:31.thing that a party does if they think they will win anyway. It is

:13:32. > :13:36.important that we hold them to account. Doesn't the tax reduction

:13:37. > :13:39.only apply to people being cared for in their own home? People who go

:13:40. > :13:43.into homes have to pay that anywhere you, it means everybody gets hit.

:13:44. > :13:48.What the Liberal Democrats wish to do is set a cap of ?72,000 above

:13:49. > :13:51.which the State would help you. What Theresa May is doing is making sure

:13:52. > :13:55.that if you get dementia, you will lose your house. You will have

:13:56. > :14:02.nothing to pass on. And that seems to me... It is not fair. For the

:14:03. > :14:07.first time your home is there to be cashed in if you need help, just in

:14:08. > :14:11.your own home. It sounds grim but if you die of a heart attack then you

:14:12. > :14:14.have nothing to pay. But if you spend five or ten years or more

:14:15. > :14:18.living with dementia and needing care at home you will be clobbered

:14:19. > :14:22.by the Conservatives. It is utterly heartless and the actions of a party

:14:23. > :14:26.that since it has already won the election and does not need to do

:14:27. > :14:29.anything else. Here we are this morning, the morning after the

:14:30. > :14:32.debate and we are talking about the Tory manifesto. Let's talk about

:14:33. > :14:36.some things they spoke about yesterday. You are right. The papers

:14:37. > :14:39.are picked up this morning on some of the policy in the manifesto of

:14:40. > :14:43.that are really quite surprising to many people, things like the Winter

:14:44. > :14:46.fuel allowance and a triple lock on pensions. Older people, perhaps, you

:14:47. > :14:52.know, the core of the Conservative heartland, if you like, who will be

:14:53. > :14:57.affected by these Tory policies. What will the Liberal Democrats

:14:58. > :15:02.offer? First of all, we will keep the triple lock. That was our policy

:15:03. > :15:06.when we were in Parliament. Margaret thatcher got rid of the upgrading of

:15:07. > :15:10.pensions in the mid-19 80s and took the Lib Dems in Howard put that

:15:11. > :15:14.right. And now, nearly two years afterwards, the Conservatives have

:15:15. > :15:18.gone back to type and are hitting pensioners, particularly the Polaris

:15:19. > :15:21.ones. All of this is based upon government and the Conservatives

:15:22. > :15:26.realising that will have less money to spend. Their own figures now show

:15:27. > :15:30.that they will have ?15 billion a year worse off because of their

:15:31. > :15:33.extreme version of except that they had chosen because Jeremy Corbyn

:15:34. > :15:39.back in. The key thing for us in this election is to say that one at

:15:40. > :15:43.once the British people voted to leave the EU, they did not vote for

:15:44. > :15:47.this new deal cars we do not know what it is. We believe the British

:15:48. > :15:51.people should have the final say on this and if you do not like the deal

:15:52. > :16:02.that to revisit may receive, we have the right to reject it and to remain

:16:03. > :16:05.in the European Union. The people hit by the dementia tax are poor and

:16:06. > :16:09.middle income people who are fortunate enough to have their own

:16:10. > :16:14.home. With spoken about that... Will be people from poorer backgrounds.

:16:15. > :16:20.What about the Winter fuel allowance? The Liberal Democrats

:16:21. > :16:25.have called for that to be means tested. We believe that's right. The

:16:26. > :16:28.point is, you look at free school meals, schoolchildren are getting

:16:29. > :16:33.free school meals any more. Getting breakfast instead. They will save

:16:34. > :16:38.?650 million. There will be no additional support for that.

:16:39. > :16:41.Remember, primary schools around the country have invested millions of

:16:42. > :16:50.pounds in new kitchens and support because of the Liberal Democrat plan

:16:51. > :16:54.and they are up for that. The massive majority of children don't

:16:55. > :17:00.go in for breakfast club. This is a conservative line to take food out

:17:01. > :17:06.of the mouths of children. Let's pause that thought and talk about

:17:07. > :17:12.Brexit. Most people in this country voted for Brexit. You seem to be

:17:13. > :17:15.taking a little bit of a gamble at the moment, hoping that those

:17:16. > :17:20.people, who either didn't vote or who were Remainers, will come

:17:21. > :17:24.onboard with you now. But haven't we missed the boat, because Brexit is

:17:25. > :17:28.happening? It isn't a gamble, the gamble is Theresa May gambling with

:17:29. > :17:32.our children's future. As things stand at the moment you, me, Theresa

:17:33. > :17:37.May, nobody knows what the outcome is going to be. Will we be in a

:17:38. > :17:43.single market or outside the market where we sell half of our goods to?

:17:44. > :17:47.What kind of negotiating position would any government be in if they

:17:48. > :17:51.go to the EU saying, you see what you can offer us. This is what we

:17:52. > :17:55.would like and we will all vote again. You would get no deal. What

:17:56. > :18:00.will happen at the end of this is someone will sign off on the deal.

:18:01. > :18:06.Either it will be the politicians or the public. I trust the people. I

:18:07. > :18:10.don't think it is right that our children will have to live with this

:18:11. > :18:14.for decades and it should be forced upon all of us without anyone having

:18:15. > :18:18.the finals day. If Theresa May fails to get a good deal, it is right that

:18:19. > :18:23.the British people should be able to reject it and remain. Pauline says,

:18:24. > :18:26.can you please ask him why you keep banging on about Brexit affecting

:18:27. > :18:32.our children and grandchildren, as though those of us who can't wait to

:18:33. > :18:39.leave the EU don't care? We do and that's why we voted to leave. Three

:18:40. > :18:43.quarters of the people voted on an extreme version of Brexit that we

:18:44. > :18:49.survey has chosen. Not just Theresa May, Jeremy Corbyn and his ministers

:18:50. > :18:52.voted for the extreme version of Brexit. I respect people leaving and

:18:53. > :18:57.voting to leave, it won the referendum narrowly, that's the

:18:58. > :19:01.direction Theresa May is going on, what she has no mandate for is to

:19:02. > :19:05.take us out of the single market and give us an extreme Brexit. If we had

:19:06. > :19:09.bought a house, we wouldn't hand of the money before being given the

:19:10. > :19:20.keys and being told where the house was. Surely any sensible situation

:19:21. > :19:29.would have the right to reject that. Cannabis currently gets a fine of

:19:30. > :19:33.?90. You talk about children getting free school meals. Would you be

:19:34. > :19:36.happy for your children to go up in a world where cannabis is freely

:19:37. > :19:43.available? As a father, a principal motivation in all this, and I don't

:19:44. > :19:48.think drugs are a good thing, they damage societies and people... You

:19:49. > :19:54.want to legalise it. Let's look at things to make society better. The

:19:55. > :19:58.lid, Lib Dems looked at serving chief constables and looking at

:19:59. > :20:02.making things better. -- the lid ends. The evidence is that if you

:20:03. > :20:07.separate cannabis from harder drugs then you protect people and the

:20:08. > :20:10.principal aim in all of this is to protect the vulnerable and make sure

:20:11. > :20:16.criminal gangs have control taken back off them because they are the

:20:17. > :20:22.people exploiting us at the moment. Do you think now people know who you

:20:23. > :20:26.are and to know your name? They know which box to tick? That's a good

:20:27. > :20:29.question. In the local elections we have the biggest increase in vote

:20:30. > :20:36.share. A membership nearly doubled in the last few weeks. The local

:20:37. > :20:43.elections were great for the Liberal Democrats. It looks as though the

:20:44. > :20:46.Conservatives are heading towards a landslide, that's why Theresa May

:20:47. > :20:52.called the election, and there needs to be a decent opposition. Everybody

:20:53. > :20:58.knows Jeremy Corbyn won't be the next government, so people need to

:20:59. > :20:59.stand up for a Britain that has a good future.

:21:00. > :21:13.A reminder, after 8am Nicola Sturgeon will be joining us on the

:21:14. > :21:22.sofa. Over to the weather. You are chasing dinosaurs this morning!

:21:23. > :21:31.Yes, IME and every child and some adult's fantasy this morning! -- I"m

:21:32. > :21:37.in. This is a stag do Soros. There are 30 animatronic dinosaurs here

:21:38. > :21:41.throughout the coming weeks. Part of the Jurassic Kingdom exhibition.

:21:42. > :21:49.They are noisy once they get up and running. The tour's round the

:21:50. > :21:54.country over the next few months. It is raining in Birmingham and it

:21:55. > :21:57.really is raining for some of you this morning, especially around the

:21:58. > :22:01.eastern half of the country. A bit brighter weather around in the west.

:22:02. > :22:05.The chilly start, with some frost around. But the best of the sunshine

:22:06. > :22:11.will be across western parts of Scotland. Down in the north-west

:22:12. > :22:15.England we have a bit of brightness around this morning. East of the

:22:16. > :22:19.Pennines and across eastern England, and Birmingham, it is grey and

:22:20. > :22:23.cloudy and wet. The heaviest rain in north-east England. The rain turning

:22:24. > :22:28.lighter and patchier towards the south and east. Showers gather

:22:29. > :22:31.later. Towards the west Midlands and towards south-west England and Wales

:22:32. > :22:34.there will be the chance of sunshine. Frost on the grass in

:22:35. > :22:38.parts of south-west England and Wales. Temperatures quickly on the

:22:39. > :22:44.rise. A few showers gather later. The same to Northern Ireland. Frosty

:22:45. > :22:47.start for a few. While we have the sunshine and dry weather to start

:22:48. > :22:51.the day, there will be showers pushing on later. Let's look at the

:22:52. > :22:56.details for the day across the UK. We have the cloudy as the weather in

:22:57. > :22:59.east. It will be raining on a doctor is a day in north-east England and

:23:00. > :23:04.eventually the eastern parts of Scotland. A lot of grey, misty, low

:23:05. > :23:08.cloud. To the west and south of England as well as Wales, and

:23:09. > :23:12.eventually western Scotland, we have a bit of sunshine. We have a few

:23:13. > :23:17.showers developing. Some of them will be heavy and sundry in the

:23:18. > :23:20.afternoon. Tonight, most of the showers will fade from England and

:23:21. > :23:26.Wales and Northern Ireland. Across Scotland, not as cold tonight.

:23:27. > :23:29.Patchy rain and drizzle into the start of Saturday morning.

:23:30. > :23:36.Elsewhere, clearer skies. Temperatures into single figures.

:23:37. > :23:40.3-4 Celsius in the Royal Park of England and Wales. We start the

:23:41. > :23:47.weekend cool in southern parts of the UK. -- rural parts of England.

:23:48. > :23:50.The story of sunshine to begin with. Then heavy and thundery showers

:23:51. > :23:55.later. Some of the missing the showers altogether. In Scotland,

:23:56. > :23:58.after a cloudy start, the wettest weather confined to northern areas.

:23:59. > :24:03.Even here we could have heavy showers to end the day. Temperatures

:24:04. > :24:07.on Saturday afternoon 18- 19 in southern and western areas. Just

:24:08. > :24:13.into double figures further north. In the Sunday it will be a dry day

:24:14. > :24:16.across the board. The exception will be Northern Ireland and western

:24:17. > :24:20.Scotland. The bit of rain around. Especially in the morning. Sunniest

:24:21. > :24:24.of the south and east on Sunday. With winds coming from south,

:24:25. > :24:28.temperatures will be on the rise little bit. We could have highs into

:24:29. > :24:31.the low 20s in some parts of south-east England and east Anglia.

:24:32. > :24:34.That's how the weekend forecast is looking. We will give this little

:24:35. > :24:44.fella a morning coffee! Don't give it coffee! That's the

:24:45. > :24:49.worst thing you can do. Don't make it angry! We've all been there.

:24:50. > :24:52.One of Britain's airports is moving it's control tower -

:24:53. > :24:55.around 100 miles away from the actual runway.

:24:56. > :24:58.London City Airport is to become the first in Britain

:24:59. > :25:00.to abandon its birds-eye view of the runway

:25:01. > :25:07.and use digital technology to monitor planes remotely.

:25:08. > :25:10.They say it will make managing the planes safer and more efficient.

:25:11. > :25:12.Our transport correspondent Richard Westcott has been given

:25:13. > :25:18.Modern airports are dynamic, fast flowing.

:25:19. > :25:21.Hundreds of pieces being moved around every minute.

:25:22. > :25:23.And all of those movements must be tightly choreographed

:25:24. > :25:30.This is London's City Airport and that's just one of the 300

:25:31. > :25:37.or so takeoffs and landings that happen here every day.

:25:38. > :25:39.Until now, all of those flights have been co-ordinated

:25:40. > :25:47.by a group of controllers who look out of these windows here.

:25:48. > :25:51.But in the future, those windows will be replaced by these high

:25:52. > :25:54.Controllers won't just see the airport, they'll be able

:25:55. > :25:59.The thing is, this digital control tower is 120 miles away

:26:00. > :26:06.We've been shown this simulation, but by 2019 controllers will be

:26:07. > :26:08.sitting here directing traffic for real

:26:09. > :26:11.using pictures fed from a new camera tower next to the runway.

:26:12. > :26:14.Unlike the old tower, they can zoom in for a better view.

:26:15. > :26:17.They can also put radar data onto the screen to track

:26:18. > :26:23.Critically, for safety, the cameras can pick out rogue

:26:24. > :26:27.drones near the airport and light the runway at night.

:26:28. > :26:42.Because I'm used to being at an airport, it gives

:26:43. > :26:44.the controller more information in terms

:26:45. > :26:47.of what they can see and hear, how they can

:26:48. > :26:51.The awareness the controller gets is all about being heads

:26:52. > :26:54.The tower controller is paid to look out the window,

:26:55. > :26:58.Now, I know exactly what you're thinking.

:26:59. > :27:01.The number one question I've been asked by everybody I have told

:27:02. > :27:04.about this is, what if the TV screens go down?

:27:05. > :27:10.So the system has been independently stress tested

:27:11. > :27:14.We have three cables in place between the airport and the control

:27:15. > :27:17.centre, so if one of those was to fail,

:27:18. > :27:26.In the event that that fails, there's another cable.

:27:27. > :27:28.And they are all routed, taking different routes

:27:29. > :27:32.London City is convinced the new operation will make it more

:27:33. > :27:36.The idea of a control tower miles from the airport

:27:37. > :27:50.That's what you want, someone with binoculars.

:27:51. > :27:54.Even with all of the technology, and you want one person with eyes on it.

:27:55. > :27:55.But the technology is making extraordinary advances.

:27:56. > :27:56.You're watching Breakfast from BBC News.

:27:57. > :31:18.Time now to get the news, travel and weather where you are.

:31:19. > :31:22.I'm back with the latest from the BBC London newsroom

:31:23. > :31:35.Hello, this is Breakfast with Charlie Stayt and Sally Nugent.

:31:36. > :31:40.Leaving the EU dominated the first televised leaders debate which was

:31:41. > :31:45.held last night. Despite the ad dozens of Theresa May and Jeremy

:31:51. > :31:55.missed for opposition parties to come together and challenge Tory

:31:56. > :32:02.plans for a hard Brexit. Not only did Labour give them, the Tories, a

:32:03. > :32:07.blank cheque for a hard Brexit that they driven to the bank and help

:32:08. > :32:13.them cash it in. But if they could have worked with ours... Not with

:32:14. > :32:19.Ukip, but with others... We could have seriously opposed this

:32:20. > :32:23.catastrophic Brexit. Thousands of police officers across the UK have

:34:43. > :34:45.now, it is all about Harry Kane. Harry Kane is in pole position

:34:46. > :34:48.to become the Premier League's top scorer after bagging four

:34:49. > :34:50.in Tottenham's 6-1 thrashing Spurs were already assured of second

:34:55. > :34:57.to their biggest ever away win He now has 26 for the season -

:34:58. > :35:01.two clear of his nearest challengers I was delighted to get these girls

:35:02. > :35:09.so it was a good moment. There has been built up during the week about

:35:10. > :35:12.the golden boot race and I would like to have gotten a least one or

:35:13. > :35:17.two today to put the pressure on so Celtic equalled their record points

:35:27. > :35:29.at Partick Thistle. They're on 103 now -

:35:30. > :35:31.so even a draw against Hearts on Sunday and Celtic will break

:35:32. > :35:35.the record for a 38-game season - and they'll go unbeaten

:37:32. > :37:36.champagne on the poor journalist who tries to carry on. Even the camera

:37:37. > :37:40.person does not escape. And look at this, the reporter finds himself

:37:41. > :37:43.under an ice bucket but this chapter is not know he is beaten. He still

:37:44. > :37:48.tries to carry on with the interview. A second ice bucket comes

:37:49. > :37:53.down on his head rendering him speechless. He would probably like

:37:54. > :37:59.to protest and swear at those players but it is meant in good

:38:00. > :38:05.sport. Oh, that poor guy. It reminds me of Alan Partridge. I can't talk.

:38:06. > :38:12.My tie was once cut in celebration in my trousers removed in the

:38:13. > :38:15.dressing room. That is cracking. It makes me fearful of the World Cup in

:38:24. > :38:27.for that. Just a reminder for you, we are interviewing all of the party

:38:28. > :38:31.leaders on Breakfast in the run-up to the general election and Nicola

:38:32. > :38:37.Sturgeon will be with us after eight o'clock this morning. Of course,

:38:38. > :38:41.following last's leaders debate in the absence of both the Tory leader

:38:42. > :38:45.and the Labour leader, we will discuss that we will be speaking to

:38:46. > :38:48.Nicola Sturgeon and later on. If you have questions you would like us to

:38:49. > :38:52.address to her, please let us know this morning. And before that, we

:38:53. > :38:55.have the weather from Matt was chasing dinosaurs in Birmingham.

:38:56. > :39:03.Good morning. Good morning to you. It is not often you have the sound

:39:04. > :39:07.of 30 animated dinosaurs roaring around here in the Birmingham

:39:08. > :39:11.botanical Gardens. It is an unbelievable sight, part of the

:39:12. > :39:15.Jurassic Kingdom exhibition which begins here tomorrow and runs the a

:39:16. > :39:21.few weeks. And then it spread across other parts of the UK. This angry

:39:22. > :39:25.fellow behind me is a creature that used to roam in what is now North

:39:26. > :39:29.America around 75 million years ago. I think any child would be happy to

:39:30. > :39:34.come and see some of these in action. Anyway... He is about as

:39:35. > :39:39.happy with the weather this morning as I am. It is a wet start here in

:39:40. > :39:43.Birmingham and there is some rain around for a few of us this morning,

:39:44. > :39:46.particularly across the east of the country but it does not rain

:39:47. > :39:49.everywhere. Not everyone will get wet today. The turnaround to begin

:39:50. > :39:53.with across much of Scotland after it being Chilean places on a frosty

:39:54. > :39:55.start. Reasonably dry with a bright start in north-west England but if

:39:56. > :39:59.the Pennines down across northern England it is great, damp and misty.

:40:00. > :40:02.Heaviest rain will be around north-east England but it starts to

:40:03. > :40:06.ease off during the morning across parts of the Midlands and East

:40:07. > :40:10.Anglia. To the south-west through as well this is where we have, again,

:40:11. > :40:14.sometimes with a view to start the day but it frost on the grass that

:40:15. > :40:21.will melt away at the. Utter Bridger is on the rise, gentle winds across

:40:22. > :40:26.many western areas. As a start but a frosty start for some of you as

:40:27. > :40:28.well. An east-west split to start with and that rolled so must the

:40:29. > :40:38.day. Staying where across the north-east

:40:39. > :40:41.of England for Yorkshire southwards we should see the brightened through

:40:42. > :40:45.the afternoon. There will be showers across southern and western areas

:40:46. > :40:48.into the second half of the day and some may be heavy and thundery. Not

:40:49. > :40:52.everyone will see them, around the coast will stay dry and fine. In the

:40:53. > :40:57.sunshine with light winds it will feel quite nice. A cool breeze

:40:58. > :41:00.continues to blow across north-east England and eastern parts of

:41:01. > :41:03.Scotland. Into this evening and overnight the showers should

:41:04. > :41:07.gradually fade away for many. There are a few on the go especially in

:41:08. > :41:10.Scotland. This is where we will see the cloud become expensive with

:41:11. > :41:14.patchy rain and drizzle as Wallace mist dinners over the hills. It is

:41:15. > :41:18.not quite as cold as last night to take this into Saturday morning but

:41:19. > :41:21.a little bit chilly elsewhere. In some rural parts of England and

:41:22. > :41:26.Wales in particular it could get down to three or four degrees as we

:41:27. > :41:31.head into Saturday morning. For Saturday we have sunshine and

:41:32. > :41:34.showers around through the country across England and Wales and

:41:35. > :41:37.Northern Ireland in particular. Heavy and thundery. Across Scotland

:41:38. > :41:41.it will be cloudy through the day, particularly in northern areas. The

:41:42. > :41:45.list here with temperatures into the high teens elsewhere. Sunday by and

:41:46. > :41:50.large across the UK looking dry and warm as well. Rain across parts of

:41:51. > :41:53.Northern Ireland and western Scotland, at times during the

:41:54. > :41:56.morning. That is confined to the north-west of Scotland later on.

:41:57. > :42:00.Most of you will have a dry in the sunshine when you get it weakens it

:42:01. > :42:04.averages in the high teens and low 20s. Some showers around this

:42:05. > :42:12.weekend by turning dry and warm into Sunday. It is very much, Matt. Time

:42:13. > :42:19.now is jammed 741. The BBC drama based on the Rochedale child sexual

:42:20. > :42:23.case concluded last night. The programme has been incredible and

:42:24. > :42:26.praised Britain's lynching portrayal of what the victims themselves went

:42:27. > :42:30.through and has reopened questions about how the legal system actually

:42:31. > :42:34.deals with young people in the sort of cases. We will discuss it in a

:42:35. > :42:38.moment with the former chief Crown prosecutor for the north-west. She

:42:39. > :42:45.played a significant part in charging the men involved and how

:42:46. > :42:49.that was evicted in the drama. A grinning gang survivor is also with

:42:50. > :42:53.us this morning. We will chat in a moment but first let's look at last

:42:54. > :42:59.night 's episode. Why did not the CPS prosecute this case in 2008 when

:43:00. > :43:02.Holly first went to the police? At that time it was considered that

:43:03. > :43:10.there was an unrealistic prospect of conviction. What changed? Key

:43:11. > :43:14.evidence used in this trial you had in 2008. The perpetrators were

:43:15. > :43:18.allowed to continue offending screen other two years. Why did the sepia

:43:19. > :43:22.stopped the case? Is their initial around the ethnicity of the

:43:23. > :43:26.perpetrators? There was an issue around the witness, not the

:43:27. > :43:30.perpetrators. What happened is that, initially, a CPS lawyer formed the

:43:31. > :43:37.view that the witness would not be credible. That is why the case did

:43:38. > :43:41.not progress to court. I came here last year and I reversed that

:43:42. > :43:48.decision. I looked at it afresh and I formed a different view, that she

:43:49. > :43:52.was absolutely credible. Would you say that Holly was betrayed? I have

:43:53. > :43:57.no difficulty in apologising to her. She was let down by the whole system

:43:58. > :44:05.and we were part of that system. That was the actor who played the

:44:06. > :44:09.man with us now and Sammy with us he is survived a child grooming gang.

:44:10. > :44:13.It really was one of those rare moments of these days, a television

:44:14. > :44:17.moment when anybody who watched it last night over last few nights will

:44:18. > :44:25.be talking about this programme today. It was so shocking and, at

:44:26. > :44:32.times, terrifying to watch but, Sammy, you lived a version of it,

:44:33. > :44:37.didn't you? What happened to you? Just after my 14th birthday I was at

:44:38. > :44:43.a local shop with a friend, as most teenagers do, going about my

:44:44. > :44:47.business when Ian came in. We knew him as a friend, he was not a

:44:48. > :44:52.complete stranger. That was it. From that moment, nearly every day for

:44:53. > :44:56.two years I spent with him. He mentally, sexually and physically

:44:57. > :45:02.abused me and I never thought for a moment that he was a paedophile. He

:45:03. > :45:06.was 24, well-dressed, well groomed and the attention he gave is the

:45:07. > :45:11.attention that parents cannot give and friends and siblings... I have

:45:12. > :45:14.attention from people who came from good families, and it helps you to

:45:15. > :45:21.build up your self-esteem. The grooming process for me was the most

:45:22. > :45:26.fun but most damaging. A few things spring to mind. One is your bravery,

:45:27. > :45:32.speaking about this, given what happened. You say you were 14, a

:45:33. > :45:36.child. One of the things that we saw in this drama and what played out in

:45:37. > :45:40.real life is how people weren't listened to. What was your

:45:41. > :45:45.experience of that part of the process? I was never treated as a

:45:46. > :45:50.victim, always as equal, as his mistress. A police officer said to

:45:51. > :45:54.me that I would never be a reliable witness in court because I was part

:45:55. > :45:59.of his criminal gangs. I felt that for all of my life, up until about

:46:00. > :46:03.2012. So this was a police officer talking to a child, saying you were

:46:04. > :46:09.a criminal, part of the problem, not a victim? Yes, victims were blamed,

:46:10. > :46:15.we were seen as part of the problem. We wanted it and were asking for it.

:46:16. > :46:21.We were children. These criminals are paedophiles, there's nothing

:46:22. > :46:24.equal about that. We saw from the programme your role in the case,

:46:25. > :46:30.which obviously changed things significantly. When you first took

:46:31. > :46:38.over, what were you aware of? What did you see? Andrew Norfolk had been

:46:39. > :46:42.doing something at the time, examining this case is around the

:46:43. > :46:46.country, and formed the view that they were not on the radar of the

:46:47. > :46:54.justice system and the policing, as just indicated, they were taking it

:46:55. > :46:58.seriously. They may view is that... They keep begetting, they were

:46:59. > :47:04.children. Assumptions that they want credible, unreliable, because they

:47:05. > :47:09.potentially had chaotic grounds, meaning they somehow wouldn't be

:47:10. > :47:13.believed in court. That was exactly why the perpetrators were picking on

:47:14. > :47:17.these young people, because they had chaotic and troubled backgrounds.

:47:18. > :47:19.And they made assumptions that the authorities wouldn't take them

:47:20. > :47:24.seriously. So they were doubly damped. They weren't being believed

:47:25. > :47:31.and at the same time the perpetrators knew they wouldn't be

:47:32. > :47:36.believed so they were targeted. So I wanted to decide to turn this 180

:47:37. > :47:40.degrees and prosecute this case and we would provide all of the support

:47:41. > :47:45.we could do the victims to make sure that we get this case to court, as

:47:46. > :47:49.you saw in the film, and bring them to justice. What it did do is change

:47:50. > :47:54.the landscape. This is before Jimmy Savile, before you tree, before

:47:55. > :48:02.everything that happened in mother and. -- Yewtree. It changed the

:48:03. > :48:07.landscape. Both of your experiences, given what happened, you think there

:48:08. > :48:12.has been a change in attitude, first of all from the point of view of the

:48:13. > :48:16.police? Absolutely. There are specialist officers now that didn't

:48:17. > :48:21.exist before. Lots of people who were of the old school. There are

:48:22. > :48:28.national guidelines. When I was part of the national prosecution service,

:48:29. > :48:31.we had the highest number of convictions in history. But right

:48:32. > :48:35.now somewhere a child is being abused and some perpetrator is

:48:36. > :48:39.getting away with it, so we have to be relentless in how we deal with

:48:40. > :48:43.these matters. Sammy, you have done an incredible thing and wavered your

:48:44. > :48:48.anonymity. Mostly children who are abused are protected by the law and

:48:49. > :48:53.you have decided to speak up, speak out and talk to us today and talk to

:48:54. > :49:01.other people as well about this. What was your motivation? How did

:49:02. > :49:07.you steal yourself to do that? For years I was speaking about Jessica

:49:08. > :49:12.and I could he -- see how much it was helping people. As Jessica I

:49:13. > :49:18.took it as far as I could. As Sammy I could do so much more. I always

:49:19. > :49:23.felt my safety was the most important. I've got that now. I know

:49:24. > :49:27.what to look for. So I will keep campaigning and I think I've got a

:49:28. > :49:31.lot to give. I want other people to do the same. The more people to come

:49:32. > :49:35.forward to more of a difference we make. People talk about scars

:49:36. > :49:39.episodes like this leave on people. Tell people a bit about life now.

:49:40. > :49:44.You've got children of your own? I have. What age are your kids? They

:49:45. > :49:50.will be 16 and 11 in the next few months. I am quite lucky now because

:49:51. > :49:54.of the support I've had, as a child I was failed but as an adult I have

:49:55. > :50:00.a good team. I've got lots of support and that's enabled me to

:50:01. > :50:04.move forward. As a mother, you must reflect now, seeing your own

:50:05. > :50:09.children, a similar age as you were when all of this started, ALDI

:50:10. > :50:16.reflect on children's vulnerabilities and how you protect

:50:17. > :50:20.them? -- how do you reflect. My 16-year-old is so much like me as a

:50:21. > :50:24.child. People think because he is a boy they can't get involved in it,

:50:25. > :50:29.but this happens the boys too. One major issue that is not recognised

:50:30. > :50:35.is children getting groomed to commit crime. It happened to girls,

:50:36. > :50:41.it happened to me. Toys are abused as well. It calls for changes in the

:50:42. > :50:45.law of course. At the time of the Rothschild case we saw 11 barristers

:50:46. > :50:50.cross-examining you. That can't happen any more. Judges control the

:50:51. > :50:55.proceedings to make sure that one advocate asks questions. We make

:50:56. > :50:59.sure that video interviews are taken by specialists. All of these things

:51:00. > :51:06.that weren't happening then, to make the experience more comfortable. We

:51:07. > :51:11.have to test it. I am absolutely satisfied that we've come a long way

:51:12. > :51:15.in six years. That said, I know there are children being abused now

:51:16. > :51:20.and we have to provide more support. It is tremendously courageous of

:51:21. > :51:22.Sammy and others like her. The more that happens, the safer we will be.

:51:23. > :51:34.Thank you very much. This prompted Sony questions. The

:51:35. > :51:39.film is available on iPlayer. -- so many questions. It is a legitimate

:51:40. > :51:44.picture of what happened. He did a great job. Details of organisations

:52:43. > :52:45.It's a row between the Home Builders Federation

:52:53. > :52:56.The Home Builders Federation suggested it could cost around

:52:57. > :53:00.?50,000 to bring up an older house up to same standards as a new build.

:53:01. > :53:02.Kirsty strongly disagrees and says many new builds aren't

:53:03. > :53:07.I had a nosey around a new build in Manchester to see

:53:08. > :53:19.How are you doing? Good. We are in one of your showhome is. Why would

:53:20. > :53:23.you want to buy one of these over an old build? Would question. The key

:53:24. > :53:28.features we have in this house is the high ceilings, the big windows,

:53:29. > :53:33.lots of natural light. You are buying space, not rooms, so this is

:53:34. > :53:38.a really nice open plan space, whereas traditionally older houses

:53:39. > :53:44.divide into more smaller spaces. The house is actually also a smart home.

:53:45. > :53:48.So the lights, the hot water, the heating, they can all be controlled

:53:49. > :53:52.through an app on your phone. You can get all of these things in all

:53:53. > :53:56.the bills, Kai Choo? Is not like these are the only places you can

:53:57. > :54:01.get them. -- can't you? You could fit into an older property. The

:54:02. > :54:05.beauty is the design is on paper, when you get the keys you are ready

:54:06. > :54:06.to go. But whatever happens you will fight over the telly, no matter

:54:07. > :54:13.what! That's true. Robert Reed is an estate

:54:14. > :54:20.agent and joins me now. When your customers come to you and

:54:21. > :54:24.are looking for an old bills, why are they going down that road? Some

:54:25. > :54:29.people love older houses because of the way they look and feel. Very

:54:30. > :54:34.often with an older house you don't necessarily buy it with your head.

:54:35. > :54:39.You might buy it with your heart. You might just love the features and

:54:40. > :54:43.the look of the house. That is often what's in the mind of someone buying

:54:44. > :54:46.an older house. This argument from the Home Builders Federation about a

:54:47. > :54:51.?50,000 figure over if you years that you might have to put into it

:54:52. > :54:55.to get it up to the standards of a new build, does that hold? I think

:54:56. > :54:58.the Home Builders Federation advert was generalising, to say that all

:54:59. > :55:04.new builds are essentially perfect and all old houses need over ?50,000

:55:05. > :55:09.spending on them. There will be the odd old house that needs that or

:55:10. > :55:13.more, but it is wrong to generalise. You might get a period house that is

:55:14. > :55:17.renovated extremely well and extended to a high quality. So I

:55:18. > :55:21.think it is too broad brushed to suggest that. People often feel if

:55:22. > :55:25.you buy an older house you need to do lots of checks before you buy it.

:55:26. > :55:29.With the new build, Kenny just assume everything will run smoothly?

:55:30. > :55:34.I don't think you can. I grew up in an older house and I House that's 12

:55:35. > :55:40.months old, so I've enjoyed both of them in different ways. New build is

:55:41. > :55:43.not necessarily perfection. There is a variable quality in the market. Do

:55:44. > :55:49.customers have enough information? Often when you buy a new build you

:55:50. > :55:53.often don't get to see it or enjoy it until the day of completion.

:55:54. > :55:57.Whereas when you have had an older house you probably get more checks.

:55:58. > :56:04.With the new house the checks will be done but by an external body.

:56:05. > :56:08.They will establish whether it is the benchmark quality, but you don't

:56:09. > :56:12.see it until the day you move in. With an old house you might have

:56:13. > :56:15.more of a chance to look around. Thank you very much. If you are

:56:16. > :56:20.looking to buy a house, there's plenty out there, but make sure you

:02:07. > :02:11.leaders' debate, which was held last night despite the absence

:02:12. > :02:13.of Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn. The ITV event saw little

:02:38. > :02:40.Brexit and his tough Theresa May may not have had

:02:41. > :02:47.the guts to be here tonight, but her spokesperson in the form

:02:48. > :02:50.of Paul Nuttall certainly appears I know immigration is a difficult

:02:51. > :02:56.topic for politicians, people have understandable concerns,

:02:57. > :03:00.but when we talk about European migrants, we're talking

:03:01. > :03:02.about people who work in our National Health Service,

:03:03. > :03:04.we're talking about people who serve us in our restaurants,

:03:05. > :03:07.we're talking about people The Ukip leader said Brexit

:03:08. > :03:11.would offer Britain enormous trade opportunities,

:03:13. > :03:18.stagnated in recent years, and have probably stagnated

:03:19. > :03:22.since about 2004, is because of That's the answer to

:03:23. > :03:28.everything, isn't it? We have an oversupply

:03:29. > :03:31.of labour in this country, The leader of the Greens,

:03:32. > :03:35.Caroline Lucas, said there was no question for which the answer

:03:36. > :03:39.from Ukip wasn't immigration. Not only did Labour give the Tories

:03:40. > :03:47.a blank cheque for a hard Brexit, they basically gave them a lift

:03:48. > :03:50.to the bank and helped The Liberal Democrats are offering

:03:51. > :03:54.a second vote on whether Britain Their leader, Tim Farron,

:04:05. > :04:11.but damages our children's future. That is why you should

:04:12. > :04:14.have the final say on the Brexit The Plaid Cymru leader, Leanne Wood,

:04:31. > :04:47.deficit... I'm LeeAnn. Twice, under fire, Mr Nuttall

:04:48. > :04:49.appeared to confuse Audience members asked how

:04:50. > :04:52.the leaders would invest in schools, hospitals, social care,

:04:53. > :04:55.and the future of younger people. There was general agreement money

:04:56. > :04:57.would need to be found, but when Ukip's Paul Nuttall

:04:58. > :05:00.insisted there would be a financial benefit to Britain leaving the EU,

:05:12. > :05:18.driving past any minute! Brexit continues to dominate this

:05:19. > :05:21.unexpected election race. We're joined now by our political

:05:22. > :05:36.correspondent Eleanor Garnier. Let's pick up on some of the things

:05:37. > :05:41.Tim Farron, who joined us on the sofa as Joe time ago, he was talking

:05:42. > :05:45.about changes in social care and the financing, used the word is

:05:46. > :05:48.horrifying and crawl. That is right, I think the challenge

:05:49. > :05:52.for the Liberal Democrats, having been almost wiped out at the last

:05:53. > :05:57.election, is to try to re-gain some of the ground they lost in 2015 and

:05:58. > :05:59.Tim Farron is positioning the party as the place for those who want to

:06:00. > :06:29.stay in the European Union to ?100,000, but Tim Farron

:06:30. > :06:32.called it a dementia tax this morning, he said it was utterly

:06:33. > :06:38.heartless, the actions of a party that thinks it has already won the

:06:39. > :06:43.election. Labour is also focusing on the Conservative manifesto plans'

:06:44. > :06:46.impact on pensioners, focusing on the winter fuel allowance and the

:06:47. > :06:52.Conservative plans to means test that, saying it was a shameful

:06:53. > :06:56.attack on older people and up to 10 million people could be hit by the

:06:57. > :07:00.plans to reduce the winter fuel allowance. Theresa may yesterday did

:07:01. > :07:04.admit there were some big and difficult decisions to be made and

:07:05. > :07:10.she and her team will be aware of the risks these kinds of policies

:07:11. > :07:13.possibly alienating traditional Tory voters.

:07:14. > :07:16.Just a reminder that Nicola Sturgeon, one of those taking part

:07:17. > :07:18.in the debate last night, will be joining us on this over in a few

:07:19. > :07:21.minutes. Thousands of police officers

:07:22. > :07:24.across the UK have not had up-to-date background checks

:07:25. > :07:25.to ensure they are BBC analysis of figures obtained

:07:26. > :07:29.under a Freedom of Information request showed 90% of officers

:07:30. > :07:31.in one force had not The process checks finances,

:07:32. > :07:34.employment history, as well as making a detailed search

:07:35. > :07:36.for any convictions. In 2012, the Association

:07:37. > :07:43.of Chief Police Officers recommended a thorough background vetting

:07:44. > :07:44.for all police officers It's a process that takes several

:07:45. > :07:58.months and checks on all aspects It's designed to ensure that nobody

:07:59. > :08:01.unsuitable is employed. Peter Bunyan was a Devon

:08:02. > :08:05.and Cornwall community support officer jailed for misconduct

:08:06. > :08:07.in the 2013 after using the police An investigation by the Independent

:08:08. > :08:15.Police Complaints Commission found he would have been rejected

:08:16. > :08:18.if he had undergone proper vetting. The Devon and Cornwall Police Force

:08:19. > :08:25.still has more than 100 front-line staff who haven't been checked

:08:26. > :08:32.according to the latest guidelines. The BBC made a Freedom

:08:33. > :08:35.of Information request asking other forces what was the situation

:08:36. > :08:38.in their area. It found that a total of almost

:08:39. > :08:41.14,000 police officers hadn't In Northumbria, almost nine out

:08:42. > :08:47.of ten of its officers, that's around 3000 people,

:08:48. > :08:49.hadn't been properly vetted. The force said a retrospective

:08:50. > :08:51.programme of vetting Her Majesty's Inspector

:08:52. > :08:54.of Constabulary, Mike Cunningham, said forces needed to address this

:08:55. > :09:00.matter urgently, while the Police Federation,

:09:01. > :09:02.which represents rank-and-file officers, said it was disappointed

:09:03. > :09:05.to see such a huge backlog. Rolf Harris will be released

:09:06. > :09:16.from prison today on bail to appear in person at his indecent assault

:09:17. > :09:18.trial next week. The former entertainer denies four

:09:19. > :09:20.counts of indecently assaulting three teenagers more

:09:21. > :09:22.than 30 years ago. The jurors had already been told

:09:23. > :09:24.that Mr Harris was jailed American warplanes operating over

:09:25. > :09:29.Syria have attacked a convoy carrying pro-government militia

:09:30. > :09:33.forces. The US-led coalition said

:09:34. > :09:35.it was moving towards a base used by Western special forces

:09:36. > :09:42.near the border with Iraq. Let's speak to our reporter Ben

:09:43. > :09:51.James, who's in Beirut this morning. How serious is this?

:09:52. > :09:56.This is being played down by the Defence Secretary, saying it does

:09:57. > :09:59.not show a huge escalation in the United States engaging the Syrian

:10:00. > :10:03.Government but this is the second time that US forces have come into

:10:04. > :10:07.contact with forces allied to President Assad, the first was that

:10:08. > :10:11.missile strike on the airbase in the aftermath of the alleged chemical

:10:12. > :10:15.attack last month. We understand one tank was destroyed and a number of

:10:16. > :10:19.vehicles as well in this convoy write-down in the south-east, near

:10:20. > :10:24.the border with Iraq. It was repeatedly warned to turn around, it

:10:25. > :10:28.did not do so. We understand also that Russian allies of President

:10:29. > :10:32.Assad tried to dissuade the militia men from advancing further but that

:10:33. > :10:37.did not work. What a lot of people are saying is this shows a signal

:10:38. > :10:43.from the United States that if Syria, Russia, Iran cannot restrain

:10:44. > :10:47.those militia forces that are a key part of their support in this

:10:48. > :10:51.conflict, this complicated conflict in Syria, the US will reserve the

:10:52. > :10:53.right to strike. Then, thanks very much, Ben Jones

:10:54. > :10:56.reporting from Beirut this morning. A BBC investigation has found flaws

:10:57. > :10:59.in the voice recognition security used by one

:11:00. > :11:01.of Britain's biggest banks. HSBC's system analyses customers'

:11:02. > :11:03.voice patterns to allow them The bank says every person's

:11:04. > :11:06.voice is unique and that But the Click technology programme

:11:07. > :11:10.has shown that it is possible for someone to log into an account

:11:11. > :11:18.that's not their own. As the election draws closer,

:11:19. > :11:21.we'll be speaking to all the party Already this morning

:11:22. > :11:30.we've had Tim Farron First Minister of Scotland

:11:31. > :11:39.Nicola Sturgeon joins us. Fresh from a lively debate last

:11:40. > :11:45.night. I am not sure fresh is the right word, but I'm here! A curious

:11:46. > :11:48.event in some ways? It was, I enjoyed it, it was a good debate

:11:49. > :11:52.because it had a lot of substance around some of the big issues but

:11:53. > :11:56.the fact that Theresa May and Jeremy Corbyn weren't there at being

:11:57. > :12:01.changed the dynamic of the debate. For both Theresa and Jeremy it says

:12:02. > :12:03.two things, that they are not confident in the case they are

:12:04. > :12:23.putting forward, not enough to have it scrutinised, also it

:12:24. > :12:26.shows some contemptible voters because I believe all leaders in a

:12:27. > :12:28.campaign should be prepared to put their case to the public and take

:12:29. > :12:31.the hard questions. One of the comments you made about Theresa May

:12:32. > :12:34.last night was that she wants to crush the opposition, she wants a

:12:35. > :12:36.free hand. Is it the pot calling the kettle black? That is exactly what

:12:37. > :12:39.you want in Scotland, isn't it? No, it is not, the SNP does not have a

:12:40. > :12:41.majority, it is a proportional Government, the Tories last year ran

:12:42. > :12:45.a campaign based on needing a strong opposition. Theresa May called this

:12:46. > :12:49.election in her own words because she wants to strengthen her hand, I

:12:50. > :12:53.think she wants to sweep away opposition so she can do what she

:12:54. > :12:56.wants and my message to voters in Scotland is we don't want Theresa

:12:57. > :13:02.May to have unfettered control and the ability to do what she wants, we

:13:03. > :13:05.need to have strong voices, a strong opposition there. We know that

:13:06. > :13:09.Labour is not strong enough to provide that opposition so certainly

:13:10. > :13:12.from Scotland the only people who can do that the SNP. Let's talk

:13:13. > :13:46.about some of the issues arose last night. This is a

:13:47. > :13:48.time when your record is scrutinised and I know there are complications

:13:49. > :13:50.in relation to devolved issues but people don't necessarily think that

:13:51. > :13:53.way, they look at what the place they are in looks and feels like.

:13:54. > :13:56.Education is one of the issues that have arisen, so important, people

:13:57. > :13:58.think of the health service and the next thing is education. The figures

:13:59. > :14:01.for Scotland, less than half of 13 and 14-year-old is performing well

:14:02. > :14:03.in the most basic of skills, reading and writing. There record numbers of

:14:04. > :14:05.young but record numbers of young people are leaving with advanced

:14:06. > :14:07.A-levels, young people going to university the Gap closing between

:14:08. > :14:12.the bridges and poorestmore young people going to university the gap

:14:13. > :14:15.closing between the bridges and is taking young people in the second

:14:16. > :14:19.year of secondary school and assessing them against the level

:14:20. > :14:22.they should achieve in the third year of secondary school but, yes,

:14:23. > :14:27.we have some challenges which is why we are putting more money into the

:14:28. > :14:29.hands of head teachers, it is why we have the new national improvement

:14:30. > :14:49.framework focusing on literacy and raising standards. The

:14:50. > :14:52.word of those politicians use when there are no good answers. You say

:14:53. > :14:55.there is a challenge which they clearly is but something has gone

:14:56. > :14:57.badly wrong and it has happened on your watch. I don't accept that

:14:58. > :15:00.characterisation because there are lots of things... Forgive me, but if

:15:01. > :15:02.your child is one of those in that group, you saying you don't accept

:15:03. > :15:05.that characterisation, that does not work. We are assessing them in their

:15:06. > :15:07.second year against the standards they should achieve in the third

:15:08. > :15:10.year and we have statistics showing that by the time young people are in

:15:11. > :15:13.the third year 80% or more are meeting the standards they should

:15:14. > :15:16.achieve. What I am saying is that we want to do better and that is why we

:15:17. > :15:17.have taken a number of steps investing more money in school

:15:18. > :15:29.education, giving headteachers more autonomy in how to use that money,

:15:30. > :15:31.making sure we are publishing much more robust figures and have more

:15:32. > :15:34.transparency around the performance of education so politicians like me

:15:35. > :15:36.can be held to account. We are also doing things I think are important,

:15:37. > :15:39.transferring the early years education, doubling the provision

:15:40. > :15:43.because the evidence says if you give young people the best start in

:15:44. > :15:48.life they will do better in school so we focused on where we have to do

:15:49. > :15:51.better and being frank about those challenges, if that is new

:15:52. > :15:53.politician like a word to use, but it is true, we are focused on

:15:54. > :16:02.addressing those challenges. Momentum is so big in politics and

:16:03. > :16:06.if there is any in Scotland it is with the Tories. Every poll says the

:16:07. > :16:10.SNP is on course to win the election... But not quite what I

:16:11. > :16:15.ask, it is about increasing popularity and there are people who

:16:16. > :16:20.are turning to the Tories. They are doing better, no getting away from

:16:21. > :16:23.it, largely at the expense of labour. What we have seen from

:16:24. > :16:26.Labour in the past few years in Scotland is a collapse in their

:16:27. > :16:33.vote. Why aren't they voting for you? Much of the collapse has

:16:34. > :16:36.already turned to the SNP and we're seeing Labour losing a lot of its

:16:37. > :16:39.remaining support to the Conservatives put my message is

:16:40. > :16:44.clear, this is a Westminster election, about whom represent

:16:45. > :16:48.Scotland in Westminster and Tory MPs from Scotland will be rubber-stamped

:16:49. > :16:52.for what Theresa May wants them to do so if we want strong opposition

:16:53. > :16:57.standing up for Scotland and making sure our voice is heard, giving the

:16:58. > :16:59.big challenges that lie ahead not least on Brexit, we have to make

:17:00. > :17:06.sure there are SNP voices doing that. Gillian has got in touch. Not

:17:07. > :17:12.my sister Gillian! She might have tough questions! It might not be

:17:13. > :17:17.your sister! Can you ask Nicola to stop using the phrase, I speak for

:17:18. > :17:22.Scotland. I'm Scottish and I do not agree with many other policies and

:17:23. > :17:25.get quite angry when I hear that using the freight and she gives the

:17:26. > :17:30.wrong impression to the rest of the world, Scotland is not Nicola

:17:31. > :17:34.Sturgeon. There is a truth in this, a lot of people in Scotland who

:17:35. > :17:41.don't correspond with your views. Specifically to do with the second

:17:42. > :17:47.independence referendum possibility and also Brexit. Of course and I

:17:48. > :17:52.readily accept that. I'm the First Minister of Scotland, I was elected

:17:53. > :17:55.as such, and I have a job to do, but I don't pretend that everybody in

:17:56. > :18:00.Scotland agrees with me, far from it, but I try to put forward the

:18:01. > :18:06.views and interests of Scotland as best I can. And on Brexit, the

:18:07. > :18:11.majority of people who voted in the EU referendum, Scotland voted to

:18:12. > :18:16.remain, many voted to leave. That is right for much of last year I try to

:18:17. > :18:20.put forward compromised proposals, how we reconcile those views and

:18:21. > :18:25.what I suggested is that even though we will be leaving the EU we should

:18:26. > :18:29.try to stay in the single market to protect jobs and investment and in

:18:30. > :18:34.this election, if people vote SNP, whether they voted to leave or

:18:35. > :18:37.remain, it strengthens my hand in these Brexit negotiations to

:18:38. > :18:41.influence it away from an extreme form of Brexit that could put

:18:42. > :18:46.something like 80,000 Scottish jobs on the line. Let's try to find

:18:47. > :18:52.common ground between the different opinions that existed on the issue

:18:53. > :18:58.of the EU. Influencing Brexit, when was the last time you spoke to

:18:59. > :19:03.Theresa May? I saw her in Glasgow a matter of weeks ago, I can't

:19:04. > :19:06.remember the exact date. We had a conversation and you might remember

:19:07. > :19:09.that it was on the front page of the Daily Mail when they talked more

:19:10. > :19:12.about our legs than our policies but I don't think I've spoken to her

:19:13. > :19:19.since then. Thank you for joining us. Does that distract you, focusing

:19:20. > :19:25.on your legs? Does it not get to you? We can laugh at it and it is

:19:26. > :19:31.the Daily Mail so probably we should, but I do have a concern that

:19:32. > :19:35.for women, if women politicians, prime ministers, first ministers,

:19:36. > :19:39.are reduced to how they look and what they wear and their legs, we

:19:40. > :19:45.are seeing something that bubbly we shouldn't be seeing about the status

:19:46. > :19:49.of women -- probably we shouldn't. Thank you very much.

:19:50. > :19:51.Matt's got the weather for us this morning.

:19:52. > :19:53.And he's walking with dinosaurs in Birmingham today.

:19:54. > :20:05.Good morning. It has been a bit of a surreal morning so far, the day

:20:06. > :20:10.began in a car park by side of the tea bags and since then I have seen

:20:11. > :20:13.about 30 different dinosaurs at the Birmingham botanical Gardens. This

:20:14. > :20:18.is one of my favourites from it rumoured in North America around 70

:20:19. > :20:25.million years ago. Seven metres in length as well. Quiet at the moment

:20:26. > :20:32.but when he starts to roar you can hear it. Let's take a look at the

:20:33. > :20:36.forecast. And there will be rain across many parts of the UK this

:20:37. > :20:39.morning, particularly in eastern areas. Eastern Scotland and across

:20:40. > :20:42.some parts of eastern England, heaviest in the North East, but

:20:43. > :20:47.across a good part of Scotland at the moment it is dry, reasonably

:20:48. > :20:51.sunny, a bit chilly with some frost around but a bright start in

:20:52. > :20:54.north-west England as well and in eastern England, outbreaks of rain

:20:55. > :20:57.but it eases off in the south through the morning. In the

:20:58. > :21:07.south-west and across Wales, again some sunshine and some across many

:21:08. > :21:10.of these areas throughout the day. A bit frosty this morning but the

:21:11. > :21:17.sunshine is melting away nicely and in the West about the East there are

:21:18. > :21:22.much lighter winds so it will feel pleasant in the sun. Across Northern

:21:23. > :21:26.Ireland, it will be dry bit chilly with some frost this morning but the

:21:27. > :21:31.best and the driest weather will be with the sunshine and late on we

:21:32. > :21:35.will see a few heavy showers working their way in. The story of the data

:21:36. > :21:40.will be staying fairly cloudy, increasingly cloudy in eastern

:21:41. > :21:43.Scotland with outbreaks of rain, some heavy, missed and low cloud and

:21:44. > :21:49.hillfort and away from that, sunshine for just about everywhere

:21:50. > :21:54.with some showers -- hill fog. When the sun is out, given the light

:21:55. > :22:01.winds, it will feel reasonably nice with temperatures in the high teens.

:22:02. > :22:04.Only ten to 13 in eastern Scotland and North East England. This evening

:22:05. > :22:08.and overnight the showers will gradually fade. We will see the dry

:22:09. > :22:12.weather develop across much of England and Wales but Northern

:22:13. > :22:15.Ireland still has a few showers and in Scotland, a fairly cloudy night

:22:16. > :22:19.installed with outbreaks of rain but temperatures will be up in the

:22:20. > :22:23.morning. Elsewhere with the clearer skies, a chilly start to set a date

:22:24. > :22:29.with temperatures only three or 4 degrees in rural areas. Call start

:22:30. > :22:35.the weekend, but generally a brighter day across eastern England

:22:36. > :22:41.the bed today -- a cooler start. So the showers will be heavy and

:22:42. > :22:43.thundery, but Scotland will have a fairly cloudy start, outbreaks of

:22:44. > :22:48.rain, staying cloudy through the afternoon as well and temperatures

:22:49. > :22:52.struggling compared to what we see further south. And on Sunday, some

:22:53. > :22:55.morning rain in Northern Ireland which will continue into North and

:22:56. > :23:00.West Scotland through the afternoon but bought most of us Sunday it will

:23:01. > :23:04.be dry and sunny and warmer, particularly in southern and eastern

:23:05. > :23:09.areas with temperatures around 20 Celsius. That is how the weather is

:23:10. > :23:15.looking. I will hand you back now to Sally and Charlie.

:23:16. > :23:25.It is matched against the dinosaur, I know who won! Thank you. That's

:23:26. > :23:29.dinosaur was not happy! One of Britain's airports is moving

:23:30. > :23:32.it's control tower around 100 miles London City Airport is to become

:23:33. > :23:36.the first in Britain to abandon its bird's-eye view

:23:37. > :23:39.of the runway and use digital technology to

:23:40. > :23:42.monitor planes remotely. They say it will make managing

:23:43. > :23:45.the planes safer and more efficient. Our Transport Correspondent,

:23:46. > :23:47.Richard Westcott, has been Modern airports are dynamic,

:23:48. > :23:55.fast flowing, hundreds of pieces being moved around every minute

:23:56. > :23:59.and all of those movements must be tightly choreographed

:24:00. > :24:03.to keep it safe. This is London City Airport

:24:04. > :24:06.and that is just one of the 300 or so take-offs and landings that

:24:07. > :24:09.happen here every day. Until now, all of those flights have

:24:10. > :24:12.been coordinated by a group of controllers who look out

:24:13. > :24:18.of these windows here. But in the future those windows

:24:19. > :24:21.are going to be replaced by these Controllers won't just see

:24:22. > :24:29.the airport, they will be The thing is, this digital

:24:30. > :24:37.control tower is 120 miles We've been shown this simulation

:24:38. > :24:44.but by 2019 controllers will be sitting here directing traffic

:24:45. > :24:48.for real, using pictures fed from a new camera

:24:49. > :24:50.tower next to the runway. Unlike the old tower,

:24:51. > :24:53.it can zoom in for a better view, put radar data onto the screen

:24:54. > :24:56.to track aircraft. Critically, for safety,

:24:57. > :24:58.the cameras can pick out rogue drones near the airport and light

:24:59. > :25:03.the runway at night. My initial reaction

:25:04. > :25:06.was sceptical because I'm used They give the controller more

:25:07. > :25:12.information in terms of what they can see,

:25:13. > :25:15.what they can hear, how they can identify targets,

:25:16. > :25:17.how they can track targets. The awareness that the controller

:25:18. > :25:20.gets, it's all about being heads up, A tower controller's job is we get

:25:21. > :25:26.paid to look out of the window, Now I know exactly

:25:27. > :25:29.what you're thinking. The number one question I've

:25:30. > :25:33.been asked by everybody I've told about this is,

:25:34. > :25:36.what if the TV screens go down, The system has been

:25:37. > :25:43.independently stress tested We have three cables that

:25:44. > :25:48.are in place between the airport If one of those was to fail,

:25:49. > :25:54.there's a back-up. And in the event that that fails,

:25:55. > :25:57.there's another cable. And they are all routed,

:25:58. > :25:59.taking different routes London City is convinced

:26:00. > :26:06.the new system will make their operations more efficient

:26:07. > :26:07.and more safe. The idea of the control tower miles

:26:08. > :26:28.from the airport may seem odd is so true what Richard said, that

:26:29. > :26:33.one question, what if! You want the human with the binoculars watching

:37:00. > :37:02.a good moment to do it as well, obviously.

:37:03. > :37:05.There's been a bit of build-up during the week about

:37:54. > :38:02.Now it prompts more shouting at the telly than anything else -

:38:03. > :38:04.seeing a player dive or feign injury and go unpunished.

:38:17. > :38:19.and a unanimous decision will result in a two-match ban.

:38:20. > :38:27.It's utter rubbish, because what about the lad that gets

:38:28. > :38:35.Bring technology in and we can look at it on the day,

:38:36. > :38:38.and then bring a sin-bin in so we can put him

:38:39. > :38:42.in the sin bin for ten minutes and then put him back on.

:38:43. > :38:44.And stop paying all these people money to do rubbish

:39:13. > :39:15.who have just won the league title for the first time in 16 years.

:39:16. > :39:18.And they turn the champagne on the poor journalist,

:39:19. > :39:25.Even the camera person doesn't escape.

:39:26. > :39:28.The reporter then finds himself with an ice bucket on his head.

:39:29. > :39:31.This chap doesn't know when he's beaten!

:39:32. > :39:34.Still trying to get the microphone, but a second ice bucket

:39:35. > :39:47.He is the Russian Mike Bushell, isn't he? I had my trousers removed

:39:48. > :39:50.once, and my tight cut off by Bournemouth. I've never had the ice

:39:51. > :39:55.bucket challenge, which is properly more painful. You are asking for

:39:56. > :39:57.trouble. I will avoid changing them for the next year or so.

:40:05. > :40:12.Good morning. Thank you so much, Sally and Charlie, and thanks to all

:40:13. > :40:15.of you for letting this pitch up at this time all week. It's the last of

:40:16. > :40:22.the live programmes for now, but I can tell you we have a busy morning

:40:23. > :40:25.ahead. We have rather worrying news on how fraudsters are already

:40:26. > :40:29.exploiting last week's cyber attack, as well as revealing how you tell

:40:30. > :40:33.the difference between real and fake ID. I will be very interested in

:40:34. > :40:37.that. And we will see how this man was saved from the scammers. I was

:40:38. > :40:43.scared I would not have enough money to get my daily living done, and now

:40:44. > :40:48.I can go to bed at night more relaxed knowing that I'm going to

:40:49. > :40:53.wake up and still have a few shillings in my pocket. How come the

:40:54. > :40:58.vital service that helps him and so many others in need is now under

:40:59. > :41:04.serious threat? Do keep sending us your questions and comments. There

:41:05. > :41:05.is the address, and we will see you at 9:15am. Goodbye Finau. See you

:41:06. > :41:10.then. -- goodbye for now. It was a crime that shocked

:41:11. > :41:13.the British public, Rachel Nickell was brutally murdered 25 years ago

:41:14. > :41:15.on Wimbledon Common. The only witness was her

:41:16. > :41:19.two-year-old son, Alex. He's now told his story

:41:20. > :41:22.for the first time. We'll speak to Alex

:41:23. > :41:24.in a moment, but first here's It was the 15th of July 1992

:41:25. > :41:32.when Rachel Nickell and her son Alex were walking the dog

:41:33. > :41:34.near their house She was attacked, sexually assaulted

:41:35. > :41:42.and stabbed 49 times. Her two and a half year-old son

:41:43. > :41:45.was the only witness. With no apparent motive,

:41:46. > :41:48.the Metropolitan Police were under pressure to find the killer

:41:49. > :41:50.and to get crucial information His father Andre gave a press

:41:51. > :41:57.conference that summer I don't know how he's

:41:58. > :42:07.going to be in the future, but, He wasn't injured, thank God,

:42:08. > :42:13.and the most fortunate thing is that they tell me he's small

:42:14. > :42:17.enough that he won't remember much. But Alex did remember and gave

:42:18. > :42:19.accurate descriptions of both Yet mistakes were

:42:20. > :42:29.made by the police. They focused on a suspect call

:42:30. > :42:31.Colin Stagg, who was charged A year later his trial

:42:32. > :42:35.collapsed and he was cleared, with a judge criticising

:42:36. > :42:37.an undercover police operation that had tried to extract

:42:38. > :42:41.a confession from him. It left the real killer,

:42:42. > :42:44.Robert Napper, free to commit more crimes, including the murder

:42:45. > :42:46.of Samantha and Jazmine The investigation was reopened

:42:47. > :42:55.in 2002 and improved DNA profiling finally provided

:42:56. > :43:00.evidence against Napper. He pleaded guilty to the murder

:43:01. > :43:04.in 2008 and is being held indefinitely at Broadmoor high

:43:05. > :43:08.security hospital, where he was already serving

:43:09. > :43:11.time for other crimes. A 2010 report into the Met Police

:43:12. > :43:16.concluded they had missed opportunities to stop Napper long

:43:17. > :43:19.before he came across Rachel and Alex on that fateful day

:43:20. > :43:37.in July 25 years ago. Good morning to you. Can I first

:43:38. > :43:41.asked, we saw in that little film, images of you with Rachel. When you

:43:42. > :43:45.see those, and you have seen many over the years, and in the place you

:43:46. > :43:52.now, what are your feelings those images? It reinforces my memory that

:43:53. > :43:56.I have about that, which is just a feeling of love or being loved and

:43:57. > :44:02.loathed being returned. That has been what is with me all my life --

:44:03. > :44:06.and love being returned. For many years, after your mum was killed,

:44:07. > :44:13.your dad worked really hard to protect you. His purpose in life was

:44:14. > :44:17.to keep you away from the press and give you the chance to grow up away

:44:18. > :44:23.from the public eye, away from the attention in this country. And now,

:44:24. > :44:31.25 years on, you have got to the point where you feel like you have

:44:32. > :44:34.your story to tell. How is that helping you? How has it helps you by

:44:35. > :44:40.saying that this is who I am and this is the journey I've been on?

:44:41. > :44:47.It is about going the full circle. I got a message yesterday from a woman

:44:48. > :44:52.terminally ill with cancer who had a baby daughter who was one-year-old.

:44:53. > :44:55.She told me how inspired she was by my story to really give that love to

:44:56. > :45:00.her daughter, that was something that would be with her forever. To

:45:01. > :45:04.have that peace of mind to make the transition. Me sharing my story, it

:45:05. > :45:15.is really reaching a point in my life where all the pieces in the

:45:16. > :45:17.puzzle and my understanding of my life and how everything has

:45:18. > :45:19.transpired have come together, I wanted to share my story to inspire

:45:20. > :45:22.others through their journey in life. The book is very candid about

:45:23. > :45:25.your journey, the place you are in now and those days and the events of

:45:26. > :45:30.that fateful day when such a dreadful thing happen to you. People

:45:31. > :45:35.will be curious as to just how much of it is genuinely part of your

:45:36. > :45:40.memory. Tel is a little bit about that. I think memory is different

:45:41. > :45:44.for everyone. When some big event like this changes your life forever,

:45:45. > :45:55.those images tend to stay with you for ever. Over time, the Association

:45:56. > :45:58.and understanding you attach to that changes as you reach a higher level

:45:59. > :46:00.of understanding in your life. I am careful not to be insensitive, but

:46:01. > :46:04.you have written very openly and people will know you were there when

:46:05. > :46:09.your mother was killed and you are saying that that imagery, those

:46:10. > :46:14.memories, they are real, you have them? Is specially in the seconds

:46:15. > :46:17.after the attack took place, which I describe in the book, the moment of

:46:18. > :46:22.reaching out to my mother, who was lying out on the floor, and asking

:46:23. > :46:35.her to get up. Even though there was blood everywhere, even though the

:46:36. > :46:37.intensity of the events had just taken place, to me she looked

:46:38. > :46:40.incredibly peaceful like she would wake up at any moment. When I asked

:46:41. > :46:43.her to get up again, in that split second, even though I was very young

:46:44. > :46:45.I knew she was gone and was never coming back. That heartbreaking

:46:46. > :46:49.moment changed my life and has always been with me. The police were

:46:50. > :46:53.very careful in the weeks following the murder to talk to you in a very

:46:54. > :46:59.specific way. You were the only witness. At the time, did they call

:47:00. > :47:04.it... It was like they were giving new therapy but everything you were

:47:05. > :47:10.saying was evidence, and in some ways that did not always help you?

:47:11. > :47:14.No, because instead of asking questions, what we were doing, the

:47:15. > :47:18.child psychologist and the detectives, these gruelling sessions

:47:19. > :47:23.which went on for months, it was just really big Vea bent over and

:47:24. > :47:26.over again. The child psychologist would make leading statements like

:47:27. > :47:30.and you were there when the bad man was hurting your mummy and there was

:47:31. > :47:35.nothing you could do because you were so small and you must have

:47:36. > :47:38.freely wanted to stop him. I banged the toys on the desk louder and

:47:39. > :47:43.louder in an attempt to drown her out. It was not until weeks later

:47:44. > :47:47.when I was asked specific questions about a description, which I was

:47:48. > :47:51.able to provide there and then. One of the things detailed at length

:47:52. > :48:04.in the book is the effort is your father made to keep you away from

:48:05. > :48:06.the media, the fascination with the story. I was a reporter in those

:48:07. > :48:09.days, a radio reporter, I remember reporting on the story, not so much

:48:10. > :48:13.the aftermath, but you were effectively hounded out of this

:48:14. > :48:17.country because of press intrusion? Yes. Did that almost feel like a

:48:18. > :48:24.second assault on your family, did it feel like it was perpetuating?

:48:25. > :48:27.Definitely, these other supposedly civilised individuals of society who

:48:28. > :48:32.are educated and meant to be in positions where they know better. In

:48:33. > :48:37.many ways, for me, growing up, their behaviour was much more despicable

:48:38. > :48:44.than my mother's assailant. Somehow I was always able to understand why

:48:45. > :48:47.he was coming from to be able to commit such an act. If I may say,

:48:48. > :48:51.people hearing you have written this story as you have, it is a

:48:52. > :48:56.remarkably uplifting story. People knowing what happened might find

:48:57. > :49:03.that QE is. How have you managed to work out how to resolve in mind what

:49:04. > :49:07.happened? Life is a journey. We all go through our unique set of

:49:08. > :49:11.challenges and obstacles. For me it was reaching a point in my life

:49:12. > :49:16.where I realise that the negativity I was holding onto was not serving

:49:17. > :49:21.me in any way, shape or form. Part of that was physically going back as

:49:22. > :49:24.an adult to where the attack took place? That was the more recent

:49:25. > :49:28.thing, but what I am talking about is realising that once you have

:49:29. > :49:35.lived through a difficult experience, holding onto negative

:49:36. > :49:38.emotions and feelings is not serving you or anyone, it is making that

:49:39. > :49:42.transition. I have heard you speak about a wonderful moments where you

:49:43. > :49:48.go back to Wimbledon Common, you did not particularly plan to go back,

:49:49. > :49:52.the time was right. What happens when you returned? I made my way, it

:49:53. > :49:57.was a spur of the moment thing, my intuition told me to go back, and

:49:58. > :50:01.following my own intuition I found my way back to the spot 25 years

:50:02. > :50:05.later and I knelt down on the ground and said a prayer of gratitude for

:50:06. > :50:09.the blessings I have received in my life, saying thank you for my mother

:50:10. > :50:15.for all the love that she had given me and I would always love her, in

:50:16. > :50:20.that moment I heard someone calling Molly, Molly, that was my dog 25

:50:21. > :50:26.years ago on the day and was with this. I heard someone calling Molly,

:50:27. > :50:30.I saw a man calling his dog. I knew right then in that moment that I was

:50:31. > :50:34.at the right place in the right time. Your smile as you were

:50:35. > :50:38.speaking tells a great story in itself. Thank you so much for

:50:39. > :50:40.sharing it with us this morning. Thank you for having me.

:50:41. > :50:46.Alex's book is called Letting Go: A True Story of Murder.

:50:47. > :50:55.Matt has the weather, with some friends.

:50:56. > :51:03.Good morning. I think it is a friend that many a child will recognise,

:51:04. > :51:07.dinosaurs, a big family favourite. I can't quite pronounce the name of

:51:08. > :51:11.this, we will call him Caven, I am sure many children will say the

:51:12. > :51:14.properly a commission that Rafferty at the Birmingham botanical Gardens

:51:15. > :51:20.at the at the moment, the exhibits runs for the next few weeks. The

:51:21. > :51:26.director is with us. What was the inspiration and what made you want

:51:27. > :51:30.to take 30 animated dinosaurs around the country? To create an outdoor

:51:31. > :51:35.anima Janet dinosaur experience, a UK first, something which has not

:51:36. > :51:37.been done here before -- anima Tronic dinosaur experience. Families

:51:38. > :51:45.are always looking for something to do with the family, making a great

:51:46. > :51:53.Jurassic experience outdoors. What sort of dinosaurs can they see? The

:51:54. > :51:59.T Rex, the triceratops, the longnecked versions like the bracket

:52:00. > :52:05.auris, the brontosaurus. It goes on tour around the country through the

:52:06. > :52:10.rest of summer, where next? Manchester, I believe, then on to

:52:11. > :52:15.Blackpool, Newcastle, Glasgow, then finishing in Leeds. How long to put

:52:16. > :52:20.these together? They are quite huge beasts. We have been on-site for

:52:21. > :52:25.seven or eight days and be open to the public fingers crossed anything

:52:26. > :52:29.Dummett everything gets finished. Fingers crossed the weather is

:52:30. > :52:32.better for you. It has stopped raining for the time being, but

:52:33. > :52:39.there is still rain around some parts of the can tree. It is across

:52:40. > :52:45.eastern parts of the UK and eastern Scotland that we have rain at the

:52:46. > :52:50.moment, the best sunshine is in the West, quite a chilly start to the

:52:51. > :52:55.day. Dry grass north-east England, east of the Pennines there will be

:52:56. > :52:59.outbreaks of rain which will dry up later. Across much of eastern

:53:00. > :53:03.England there is extensive cloud, the rain in East Anglia and the

:53:04. > :53:07.south-east turns lighter and patchy, as it will across parts of the East

:53:08. > :53:19.Midlands. Further west, drier and brighter. Into Northern Ireland,

:53:20. > :53:23.most start on a fine note. Light winds, some showers developing

:53:24. > :53:26.later. The windiest conditions will be across eastern Scotland and North

:53:27. > :53:31.East England, through the afternoon we will hold onto plenty of cloud,

:53:32. > :53:36.low cloud, quite misty over the hills. It should brighten across

:53:37. > :53:39.much of East Anglia and the south-east into the afternoon, the

:53:40. > :53:44.same across a good part of the Midlands as well. Here is across

:53:45. > :53:48.parts of western Wales and Northern Ireland, showers develop, some heavy

:53:49. > :53:56.and even thundery. Temperatures ranging from a rather cool ten to 13

:53:57. > :53:59.eastern Scotland and north-east England to a much more pleasant 17

:54:00. > :54:03.to 19 further south and west. Most showers will fade away this evening,

:54:04. > :54:08.a few will continue into the morning, Scotland has the cloud is

:54:09. > :54:12.to conditions overnight. Patchy rain and drizzle, not as cold as last

:54:13. > :54:17.night. Temperatures in the countryside could get around to

:54:18. > :54:20.about two or three degrees. A cold start to Saturday morning

:54:21. > :54:24.particularly for England and Wales, once we start with sunshine, the

:54:25. > :54:30.showers will get going. Probably staying dry a of the coast through

:54:31. > :54:34.Saturday, sunshine and showers in Northern Ireland, staying cloud in

:54:35. > :54:38.Scotland, further rain at times, southern area should brighten and

:54:39. > :54:43.temperatures much like today, a bit more of a breeze tomorrow. On Sunday

:54:44. > :54:46.the breezes coming from a more southerly direction. Rain across

:54:47. > :54:49.parts of Northern Ireland early on spreading into north and West

:54:50. > :54:55.Scotland, but away from that it will be mostly dry, very few showers.

:54:56. > :54:59.Feeling warmer, temperatures could reach around 20 Celsius across the

:55:00. > :55:04.South East Corner, if not higher. A few showers over the next few days

:55:05. > :55:10.and then for many looking drier by Sunday. That is how the weekend

:55:11. > :55:15.forecast is looking. From myself and my host of guests in Birmingham

:55:16. > :55:21.Botanical Gardens, goodbye. STUDIO: It looks like one of them is about

:55:22. > :55:24.to make a leap for you, watch out! I have just been told it is a

:55:25. > :55:30.velociraptor. Sometimes it is good when the voices

:55:31. > :55:31.starting your year! We are talking about computer games now, it began

:55:32. > :55:42.on a thing a bit like this. You went to the pub and there was a

:55:43. > :55:49.tennis game. Do U Mumba space invaders? It is how it all started.

:55:50. > :55:52.Now they are much smaller and really competitive and you can just watch

:55:53. > :55:59.other people playing, a massive industry.

:56:00. > :56:02.This weekend some of the worlds' best gamers are gathering

:56:03. > :56:04.at the O2 in London for the Vainglory Spring

:56:05. > :56:06.Championships, one of the biggest events in the esports calendar.

:56:07. > :56:20.How are you getting on? Not bad. They gain you mentioned, I think it

:56:21. > :56:25.was called Pong. I was quite good at that. I had improved a bit ongoing

:56:26. > :56:30.glory this morning but I have some way to go. We are at the O2 this

:56:31. > :56:33.morning, getting ready for the Vainglory championships. People will

:56:34. > :56:37.be playing the games, their play will be shown on the screens.

:56:38. > :56:39.Thousands will be watching them play. Events like this have become a

:56:40. > :56:54.huge deal. It is thought more than 300 million people

:56:55. > :56:56.watch or take part in what is known as East sports. As well as this

:56:57. > :56:57.tournament there are plenty of others happening this year. I met up

:56:58. > :57:00.with one UK team as they get ready. Primed and approaching

:57:01. > :57:02.peak condition. Team M features some

:57:03. > :57:05.of the UK's top gamers. They're living together in a house

:57:06. > :57:08.in Leicester for a month, This boot camp will prepare

:57:09. > :57:17.them for the League Actually playing and practising

:57:18. > :57:21.the game is a key component, but there's also sort of coming

:57:22. > :57:24.through games and video analysis of them, so you can actually

:57:25. > :57:26.point out, you know, "Here was an error,

:57:27. > :57:28.here was something we could have worked on, here was a way

:57:29. > :57:31.you could have done We're going to try to

:57:32. > :57:34.use pressure instead. We're talking about, like,

:57:35. > :57:50.that kind of level which is above what the average person would see

:57:51. > :57:52.and feel in a game. League of Legends is

:57:53. > :57:55.a fantasy battle game. This is a recording

:57:56. > :57:58.of a recent team victory. The tournament will see teams

:57:59. > :58:07.across Europe compete online. Like many esports competitions,

:58:08. > :58:09.millions of fans are expected It doesn't strike you as odd

:58:10. > :58:16.that some people don't want to play the game,

:58:17. > :58:18.they just want to watch No, I mean it's very similar

:58:19. > :58:22.in mainstream sports. I'm not much of acricket

:58:23. > :58:27.player, though. It's amazing how much

:58:28. > :58:29.the industry has grown. I mean, it's getting to the point

:58:30. > :58:32.where it's going to end up Some say it's already

:58:33. > :58:35.doing just that. Live esports tournaments

:58:36. > :58:36.like this one in Poland At London's O2, teams from the US

:58:37. > :58:42.and Europe will be competing for this trophy and more

:58:43. > :58:47.than ?100,000 in prize money. They game they'll be

:58:48. > :58:51.playing, Vainglory. Jasmine's a tournament referee,

:58:52. > :58:55.ensuring play is fair I think it might not be, like,

:58:56. > :59:03.physically taxing on you, but mentally for you to work

:59:04. > :59:06.as a team, for you to train for hours and hours on end,

:59:07. > :59:09.reaction speeds and all of this, these are all elements that

:59:10. > :59:13.you find in actual sports. Wow, what an incredible

:59:14. > :59:15.fight coming in! I can't wait to see what they're

:59:16. > :59:18.going to do next game! Commentators Action Jackson

:59:19. > :59:21.and ExScoundrel travel the world The games are so complex

:59:22. > :59:30.and so different from what you'd usually come to expect that you need

:59:31. > :59:33.people that are going The impact and growth of esports

:59:34. > :59:52.is getting bigger and bigger. Delighted to be joined this morning

:59:53. > :59:56.by two top game is getting ready for the Vainglory championships, Michael

:59:57. > :00:03.and Ricardo. Michael, you are otherwise known as FlashX. You from

:00:04. > :00:06.the US, what is it like to take part in these events? Incredible, I have

:00:07. > :00:10.done it for the better part of the year. Tonnes of fun. How different

:00:11. > :00:17.is it playing on your own to playing in a big stadium like this?

:00:18. > :00:23.It adds some pressure but it brings out the best in me. You are sitting

:00:24. > :00:29.next to a competitor, and it could get nasty later on. You are from

:00:30. > :00:33.Portugal. How big a deal is this? For many people they won't realise

:00:34. > :00:38.that events like this take place. No, and the best part is that we

:00:39. > :00:43.actually make a living doing this and it is our passion. We have the

:00:44. > :00:46.opportunity to do this as a full-time job and it is wonderful to

:00:47. > :00:50.be here and have the opportunity, not only to travel and see London,

:00:51. > :00:58.but be playing against friends and competitors. Does it frustrated

:00:59. > :01:04.people dismiss this as not a real sport? I can understand why people

:01:05. > :01:10.say this and have that opinion. -- does it frustrate you that? But

:01:11. > :01:16.there is a strong background in term of playing the game and

:01:17. > :01:21.understanding what it is all about. Anyone can have their own opinion,

:01:22. > :01:25.but if they really got into it and understood our world, they would

:01:26. > :01:31.understood -- understand what we feel. Good luck for the weekend. Get

:01:32. > :01:35.some more practice in. Let's have a chat with James, and you have

:01:36. > :01:40.organised the event. Do you get frustrated that people dismiss this

:01:41. > :01:44.as geeks playing on their computers? Not really. We don't need that, but

:01:45. > :01:48.it's great to get the awareness and it's great to have the BBC to hear

:01:49. > :01:52.-- to come here and look at our world. It will be recognised as part

:01:53. > :01:56.of the Asian games in 2022. Some people have talked about the

:01:57. > :02:01.Olympics. Will that happen? I don't think so. There is a way of

:02:02. > :02:05.embracing it but it's just not an Olympic sport. It's a thing in its

:02:06. > :02:12.own right. It's not really a traditional sport. Yet you wanted to

:02:13. > :02:17.be acknowledged for the skills by people. How important our events

:02:18. > :02:23.like this to make that happen? We run hundreds of these events ranging

:02:24. > :02:30.from venues this size and 20,000 seater stadiums. It's already

:02:31. > :02:34.fulfilling that, so the viewership is expanding and it will probably

:02:35. > :02:39.double by 2020 to 600 million people. The money that some of the

:02:40. > :02:44.players make his extraordinary. Absolutely. Some of the professional

:02:45. > :02:48.teams are earning over $1 million a year each through sponsorship and

:02:49. > :02:52.prize money. Thank you very much, James and best of luck this weekend.

:02:53. > :02:58.Vainglory is the game. I will come round here and see if I can get some

:02:59. > :03:02.last-minute tips. What is the key to success? Working with team-mates and

:03:03. > :03:06.making sure you are itemising correctly against the enemy teams

:03:07. > :03:12.and being coordinated. Can I have a quick go? I will come round here,

:03:13. > :03:17.and what is the ultimate aim? Kill everyone and try and survive?

:03:18. > :03:23.Exactly. Tap on that until that monster right there. Leave me to it.

:03:24. > :03:27.This time next year I will be here. We believe you, Tim. I just want

:03:28. > :03:32.them to go out and have some fresh air. I am sure they will. It's very

:03:33. > :03:37.dark. One of the things I've learned in this job is that you should never

:03:38. > :03:41.make assumptions about this. And do you think Engelbert Humperdinck has

:03:42. > :03:44.ever been on a games machine? We will talk to him in a moment. It's

:03:45. > :03:46.not important in the grand scheme of things. He does know all about

:03:47. > :03:49.social media. But first a last, brief

:03:50. > :05:24.look at the headlines I'll be back at 130

:05:25. > :05:26.with the lunchtime news. This morning behind

:05:27. > :05:59.the scenes Sally has been So, will you dare? Sing for

:06:00. > :06:10.Engelbert? No! Let's do our thing. Please release me. Well... There we

:06:11. > :06:14.go. We nearly did it. I love that song. It's a song I heard when I was

:06:15. > :06:21.growing up. That is the song we are celebrating this year, because it is

:06:22. > :06:32.50 years old. And I just can't believe it myself. 50 years of

:06:33. > :06:35.celebration, and that is one of the reasons why Decca has put this

:06:36. > :06:48.lovely CD together. Shall we have a little look back. Let's look at some

:06:49. > :07:00.of their history. # Please release me, let me go. # Because I don't

:07:01. > :07:09.love you any more. # every day I wake up, then I start to break-up,

:07:10. > :07:13.lonely as a man without love. # Everyday I start out, then I cried

:07:14. > :07:18.my heart out, lonely as a man without love.

:07:19. > :07:23.Every day I wake up, then I start to break out.

:07:24. > :07:35.I don't want to call it goodbye. # I don't want to think about it, talk

:07:36. > :07:42.about it. # I simply live alive. I'd rather live alive than say goodbye.

:07:43. > :07:48.Very James Bond like. It was like a James Bond theme. Were you ever

:07:49. > :07:56.offered the James Bond theme? Have you ever done one? No, not yet. But

:07:57. > :08:00.lots of the music now, even though it comes into the James Bond films,

:08:01. > :08:06.it has that flavour of the 60s and 70s that you are so well known for.

:08:07. > :08:11.The soaring orchestra, the drama. I agree. I watched James Bond movies

:08:12. > :08:14.all the time and I'm a fan of them, and everyone I've watched. The

:08:15. > :08:22.little piece we just saw, that was a real down memory lane for you. 1970,

:08:23. > :08:26.that was. Where are those photos from? I don't know. We have one

:08:27. > :08:32.here. Look at the outfits, the sunglasses. And it was a trademark

:08:33. > :08:37.of yours, the big sideburns, and you still have them to this day. Yes,

:08:38. > :08:44.they are not supposed to be this colour, because I'm a little bit

:08:45. > :08:48.older now. I don't wish to go to the other colour, to the colour grey,

:08:49. > :08:52.but I just like to keep it like this. Didn't you like to say at one

:08:53. > :08:56.point that you thought Elvis was stealing your style? Elvis and I

:08:57. > :09:01.became good friends, and I should tell you that he is one of the

:09:02. > :09:10.nicest show people I've ever met in my life and I said, Elvis, you stole

:09:11. > :09:15.my sideburns. The people around in those era, and you think of Tom

:09:16. > :09:19.Jones, Elvis, was there a kind of rivalry between you? I don't think

:09:20. > :09:29.so. Certainly not with Elvis. Alvis was top dog. -- he was top dog. I

:09:30. > :09:33.work -- watched him on stage and learn from him. It was very

:09:34. > :09:37.charismatic but humble. He never took his image seriously, and that

:09:38. > :09:44.is what kept him in that category, top-notch. When did you realise that

:09:45. > :09:50.you have this voice? It is soaring, a beautiful voice. When did you know

:09:51. > :09:54.that? When I was very young, very, very young, I used to sing harmony

:09:55. > :10:00.with the family. I did not know I had a solo voice. It came out when I

:10:01. > :10:05.was 17 years old, and I was singing in a club and I thought to myself,

:10:06. > :10:10.this is not bad. So I followed it up. I used to play the saxophone, so

:10:11. > :10:15.I put that down and the instrument was my throat. Thank God I change

:10:16. > :10:22.the instrument because it has been so good to me for the last 50 years.

:10:23. > :10:26.We are celebrating the song please release me, but what is it about

:10:27. > :10:32.that song that is so remarkable? Is it the music, or the sentiment? I

:10:33. > :10:38.don't know what it is. The lyrics have a kind of negative thing to it

:10:39. > :10:48.but it is a melody, and it is the most requested song in the Guinness

:10:49. > :10:51.book of records, the beetle having dashed for stopping the Beatles

:10:52. > :10:57.having their 13th number one. When you say it has a negative feel, do

:10:58. > :11:03.people use it as a divorced song? Well, some of them do, but I use it

:11:04. > :11:09.in a different way and I say that on stage. Shall we get you a glass of

:11:10. > :11:14.water? I am all right. You are still doing live performances. I'm still

:11:15. > :11:22.traipsing around the world and I love what I'm doing. Social media is

:11:23. > :11:26.so good because when you perform in a certain place, by the time you get

:11:27. > :11:30.to the next place, people are half expecting what they will get because

:11:31. > :11:37.they have seen little clips on TV. It is wonderful that this kind of

:11:38. > :11:41.thing, all of your publicity people are your fans. Who is your audience

:11:42. > :11:44.now? There is a massive cross-section of people and it is

:11:45. > :11:48.just wonderful. At the end of the show they come and stand up front

:11:49. > :11:55.and their hands are in the air and it is like the old times. It is a

:11:56. > :12:02.cult following, really. Any items of clothing thrown at you? No, I don't

:12:03. > :12:06.approve of things like that. I mentioned a moment ago, I was

:12:07. > :12:10.looking at you all rings. These are amazing. Can we get a close-up? You

:12:11. > :12:17.are saying the one on the left has your initials on it. Yes, and it was

:12:18. > :12:20.made in Lake Tahoe and there was a place called the jewellery factory

:12:21. > :12:25.and everybody used to go there. Elvis went there, Elton John used to

:12:26. > :12:33.go there, because Elton loves his jewellery. People like myself. It is

:12:34. > :12:38.like a Who's Who of show business, and they made especially for me?

:12:39. > :12:44.Yes, they made it specially for me. It's over 40 years old. It is my

:12:45. > :12:46.lucky charm. Right, so that ring must have been with you through some

:12:47. > :12:52.incredible times. Some incredible stories. Being in show business for

:12:53. > :12:58.50 years I have sang with some of the greatest old-time stars as well.

:12:59. > :13:06.I hate to say that world -- word, but people like in Crosby. I sang

:13:07. > :13:13.with Bing Crosby and he said, boy, that is some set of pipes. That was

:13:14. > :13:18.a good impersonation. Dean Martin. I sang with him. Dean was one of my

:13:19. > :13:22.favourite people of all time. We are just getting started with the

:13:23. > :13:25.reminiscences. It's lovely to see this morning. Thank you so much. You

:13:26. > :13:28.are very welcome. We will you all now.

:13:29. > :13:32.We're back with Breakfast tomorrow from six.

:13:33. > :13:38.Now here on BBC One, here's Angela, Gloria and Julia
