Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | :00:08. | :00:09. | |
Jeremy Corbyn says terrorist attacks at home can be linked to British | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
military action, as he calls for a change in UK foreign policy. | :00:16. | :00:18. | |
Just days after the Manchester attack, the Labour leader will say | :00:19. | :00:21. | |
the war on terror is simply not working. | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
In the investigation overnight, police make another arrest, | :00:27. | :00:28. | |
and carry out searches in the St Helens area of Merseyside. | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
As the terror threat remains critical, we will be talking | :00:34. | :00:35. | |
to the Security Minister about extra measures being put in place | :00:36. | :00:38. | |
at events across the bank holiday weekend. | :00:39. | :00:55. | |
Also this morning: Theresa May tells leaders of the G7 countries | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
that the fight against so-called Islamic State is moving | :01:01. | :01:02. | |
from the battlefield to the internet, and urges them | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
Our economy is not growing as fast as we thought it was, so I am out | :01:05. | :01:28. | |
with the Butty Van to find out why. In sport: No Silva lining for Hull - | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
relegated from the Premier League, and now they have lost their highly | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
regarded manager, Marco Silva. And what is the weather going to be | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
like this bank holiday weekend? Matt is on the beach | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
at Weston-super-Mare. I certainly am. Good morning. I have | :01:42. | :01:48. | |
my sunscreen and sunglasses. You will all lead them today, but will | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
you need them this bank holiday weekend? There are some | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
thunderstorms in the forecast and a full details coming up in 15 | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
minutes. See you then. -- the full details. | :02:01. | :02:00. | |
First our main story: The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
is to resume his party's election campaign today, | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
with a speech linking British military actions abroad | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
He will say a government has a responsibility to minimise | :02:09. | :02:12. | |
the chance of attacks and ensure that police | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
We will have the latest on the investigation | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
in to the Manchester attack in a moment. | :02:19. | :02:20. | |
But first, our political correspondent Iain Watson | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
The political truce following the Manchester attack will be declared | :02:23. | :02:31. | |
over today, and Jeremy Corbyn speaks about tackling terrorism. He will | :02:32. | :02:35. | |
draw political dividing lines by criticising government cuts in | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
police numbers, and he will say posterity must stop at the police | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
station door. At linking involvement in foreign wars to terrorism is | :02:44. | :02:47. | |
likely to be more controversial. He will say... | :02:48. | :03:01. | |
He will say this doesn't reduce the guilt of terrorists, at... But the | :03:02. | :03:10. | |
Labour politician who was in charge of the Home Office during the 7/7 | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
attacks strongly disagrees with his party leader. He is simply wrong. | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
The core attacks from 9/11 and beforehand have come from forces | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
which are about trying to destroy the whole of our society. This is | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
before the Iraq War, before the wars in Syria. In the former LibDem | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
leader Lord Ashdown has questioned the timing of Jeremy Corbyn's | :03:34. | :03:42. | |
comments. He said... The Labour leader expects criticism for his | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
comments, but those close to him say it is impossible to have an honest | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
to debate on tackling terrorism without mentioning the wars. | :03:52. | :03:53. | |
Let's get the latest from our political correspondent | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Eleanor, is this a risky strategy by Jeremy Corbyn at this stage | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
I think these comments today will provoke a bit of a backlash, with | :04:00. | :04:15. | |
criticism not just from Jeremy Corbyn's opponents, but from some | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
within his own party as well. And as we heard there from a former Labour | :04:20. | :04:23. | |
Home Secretary, Charles Clarke, saying he thinks Mr Corbyn is simply | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
wrong, the former LibDem leader Paddy Ashdown saying he thinks the | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
timing of these comments are wrong, in what he described as the | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
aftermath or the shadows of the Manchester attacks. Jeremy Corbyn | :04:37. | :04:39. | |
will also say today when it comes to the NHS, when it comes to policing, | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
we cannot be protected and cared for on the cheap. But Amber Rudd, the | :04:45. | :04:49. | |
Home Secretary, last night that it was wrong to say that police cuts in | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
some way contributed to the terrorist attack. She said it was | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
wrong to imply this attack may not have taken place if there had been | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
more policing. I think certainly the pitch, at the very least, that | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
Jeremy Corbyn is trying to make today, is pretty tricky ground to be | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
walking on just four days after the Manchester attacks. Thank you very | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
much. We will be asking the Security | :05:12. | :05:11. | |
Minister, Ben Wallace, about Jeremy Corbyn's comments, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
and about this week's events Another man has been arrested | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
as part of the investigation He was detained in the early | :05:17. | :05:27. | |
hours of this morning. A property has also been searched | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
in the St Helens area of Merseyside. Eight people are currently | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
being held by police. A man and a woman who were | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
previously questioned have been Our correspondent Wyre Davies | :05:38. | :05:40. | |
is outside Greater Manchester Police Announcements just in the last | :05:41. | :05:55. | |
half-hour or so. Bring us right up-to-date. Yes, Greater Manchester | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
Police say they are making significant progress. There was | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
another man arrested overnight in an operation in the mosque site area of | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
Manchester, which has brought the number of people in custody to the | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
total of eight -- Moss Side. As we speak there is a police operation in | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
St Helens, towards Merseyside. So clearly the operation is ongoing. | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
Police say they are making progress but we are still at the highest | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
level of alert, critical. There are still hundreds or thousands of armed | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
officers in the streets, in places we have not seen armed police | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
before, like trains. And that begs the question that they have still | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
not quite got where they want to get when it comes to investigating how | :06:38. | :06:41. | |
the bomber may be got his bomb. What about those people who surrounded | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
him, who helped him get that warm, which he set off with such a | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
devastating effect on Monday night. There are still a lot of work to do, | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
despite the progress that police say they are making. Greater Manchester | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
Police also said they had resumed their corporation and sharing | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
sensitive information with intelligence authorities in the | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
United States. You will remember earlier this week on at least three | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
occasions information that the British police, Greater Manchester | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
Police, had passed on to the Americans for help in deciphering | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
what it meant, that had been leaked, found its way into the American | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
press, and then found its way into the British press. Releasing that | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
information into the public domain far earlier than the GMP wanted to | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
do so. And they threatened to withdraw cooperation with the | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
Americans. That row now appears to have been smoothed over for the time | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
being, and this regular exchange of information will restart, including | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
on this very sensitive but very important case. For the moment, | :07:41. | :07:41. | |
thank you. Armed police have begun patrolling | :07:42. | :07:43. | |
national rail services It is the first time that firearms | :07:44. | :07:45. | |
officers have been deployed on Britain's railways, | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
although there have been patrols on the London Underground | :07:50. | :07:51. | |
since December. The terror threat remains | :07:52. | :07:53. | |
at critical, meaning security services believe another | :07:54. | :07:56. | |
attack could be imminent. Theresa May will discuss the fight | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
against online extremism when she meets world leaders | :08:04. | :08:05. | |
at the G7 summit today. Free trade and climate change | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
are also on the agenda at the event, which President Donald Trump | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
is attending for the first time. Our diplomatic correspondent | :08:13. | :08:14. | |
James Landale reports. Theresa May arrived in Sicily last | :08:15. | :08:26. | |
night for her first G7 summit, a rare chance for her and just six | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
other leaders to discuss the world's problems face-to-face around the | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
table. And, as they gather in the ancient coastal town of Tourmina, | :08:35. | :08:41. | |
they will be hoping for few dramas, above all from Donald Trump who has | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
made his doubts about multilateral groups like this well-known -- | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
Taormina. At the summit as ever they will discuss world trade, climate | :08:50. | :08:53. | |
change, migration from north Africa across these very seas but after the | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
events of these last few days, almost inevitably the focus will be | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
the fight against global terrorism. Theresa May will sit down formally | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
with the US President and discussed not just those leaks from the | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
bombing investigation, but how she, he, and other G7 leaders can work | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
together to fight extremism and terror plots online. With internet | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
firms doing more and a new international forum, sharing new | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
technology. I suspect Theresa May will say, look, let's all agree that | :09:22. | :09:26. | |
we need a totally joined up security effort of the sort we have within | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
the United Kingdom amongst the G7 as a whole. But if there is agreement | :09:31. | :09:35. | |
among these heads of government over terror, they may fall out over other | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
issues. International trade, climate change and global migration, areas | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
where Mr Trump smiles -- Mr Trump's smiles are not matched by his G7 | :09:47. | :09:48. | |
colleagues. US media is reporting | :09:49. | :09:48. | |
President Trump's son-in-law and senior White House adviser | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
Jared Kushner is under scrutiny The inquiry is into Russian | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
interference in last year's Reports say investigators believe | :09:54. | :10:02. | |
Mr Kushner may have significant information relevant to their work, | :10:03. | :10:05. | |
but this does not necessarily mean A leading economic think tank has | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
suggested schools could be worse off financially under a Conservative | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
government, despite a pledge The Institute for Fiscal Studies | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
says the party's plans would result in a 3% cut to school | :10:16. | :10:20. | |
budgets in real terms. It says that Labour would | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
increase spending slightly, and the Liberal Democrats | :10:24. | :10:25. | |
would maintain the status quo. In response, the Conservatives said | :10:26. | :10:27. | |
at least their proposals The parents of a seriously | :10:28. | :10:30. | |
ill nine-month-old boy, who doctors say should be allowed | :10:31. | :10:38. | |
to die, say they intend to take their case | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
to the Supreme Court. The Court of Appeal ruled | :10:42. | :10:43. | |
against Chris Gard and Connie Yates, who had wanted to take their son | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Charlie for treatment Judges upheld an earlier ruling | :10:47. | :10:48. | |
which accepted the therapy Scientists say new observations | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
of the planet Jupiter have They have been studying detailed | :10:53. | :11:03. | |
photographs sent back to earth Researchers say they have been | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
amazed by the storms Dozens of hurricanes, | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
each the size of earth, And those are the main stories this | :11:12. | :11:35. | |
morning. You were going to say something? I was just going to say, | :11:36. | :11:38. | |
the pictures don't really give the magnitude of what we are saying. Can | :11:39. | :11:42. | |
you imagine a whole storm the size of the planet, clustered together? | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
It just sounds quite... Yes, you can't imagine it, and the pictures | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
don't really say that. The winds sweeping through like something in | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
the Wizard of Oz. It is that time of year when fans of football clubs get | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
a bit nervous, desperate that their managers, if they have done well, I | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
going to stay. But two clubs yesterday had their sinking feeling | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
when their managers decided to go. Garry Monk has decided the grass is | :12:12. | :12:16. | |
greener elsewhere and this chap, Marco Silber, has left Hull -- Marco | :12:17. | :12:25. | |
Silva. Hull City and Leeds United have | :12:26. | :12:25. | |
become the latest clubs, to start the summer | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
looking for new managers. Marco Silva has left Hull, | :12:29. | :12:30. | |
after just over four The Tigers were relegated | :12:31. | :12:33. | |
from the Premier League with a game to spare, but Silva did | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
improve their performances, and has now been linked with a move | :12:38. | :12:39. | |
to either Crystal Palace or Watford. Captain Wayne Rooney has been left | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
out of the England squad for the upcoming matches | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
against Scotland and France. He says he has more or less | :12:47. | :12:48. | |
decided on his club future, but won't reveal what it is | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
for another two weeks. Wales manager Chris Coleman has | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
named seven uncapped players Manchester City Ladies beat Chelsea | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
1-0, in the first significant sporting event to take | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
place in Manchester since They are now just a point behind | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
Liverpool in the Women's Super And Manchester will host | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
the Great City Games later today. The annual event, which is staged | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
in the city centre and features an athletics track running | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
past shops and offices, was given the go-ahead by police | :13:14. | :13:15. | |
and council officials on Tuesday, following the death of 22 people | :13:16. | :13:18. | |
in the attack at Manchester Arena. We will have more on that little bit | :13:19. | :13:32. | |
later. We will hear from Jonnie Peacock as well. | :13:33. | :13:34. | |
It is time for the all-important bank holiday weekend weather. | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
Matt is on the beach for us in Weston-Super-Mare this morning. | :13:38. | :13:46. | |
Don't say you are not feeling the love, being sent out there. | :13:47. | :13:54. | |
Definitely. What can you not like about this? The Sun is up, it is a | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
glorious start to the day here in Weston-Super-Mare. It is only a town | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
of just short of 80,000 people, but millions upon millions of people | :14:03. | :14:07. | |
visit here on the Somerset coast every single year, and I think if | :14:08. | :14:11. | |
fair few will be heading down this bank holiday weekend to enjoy the | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
beach, and of course the grand Pier behind me. And the weather here is | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
not looking too bad at the moment. Yesterday we hit 28 Celsius in | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
Aberdeenshire. That was the Hotspot. We could get little bit harder | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
today. A sunny and hot day almost across-the-board for the UK through | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
the day. A bit more of a breeze and admittedly in southern parts the | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
country, so it will feel a bit cooler across southern and eastern | :14:35. | :14:37. | |
coasts, but elsewhere, under blue skies, those temperatures will | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
rocket. Maybe a little bit of low cloud lingering close to Shetland | :14:42. | :14:46. | |
for a touch longer. A sunny day by and large, temperatures around | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
southern and eastern coast around 20 Celsius. Inland we will see | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
temperatures widely in the mid-20s. Could hit 28 Celsius, south-east | :14:53. | :14:55. | |
England, north-east England and south Wales. And the high spot in | :14:56. | :15:00. | |
Scotland, particularly around Inverness, we could get close to 30 | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
degrees this afternoon. If all that he tempts you towards the coast, be | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
wary the sea is very cold at the moment, 11 to 13 Celsius for many of | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
you. It will take a little bit of a free to get in there this weekend | :15:14. | :15:17. | |
full we finished the day with one or two isolated storms across northern | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Scotland and Northern Ireland but through the night we see more | :15:21. | :15:23. | |
showers developing Wales in south-east England in particular. | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
The night will be a humid night, most places will be dry. A little | :15:27. | :15:30. | |
bit of cloud in eastern coasts, first thing tomorrow morning. A | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
slightly different day tomorrow. Still humid for many, not storms | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
sweeping away northwards across England and Wales through the | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
morning and early afternoon. A bit hit and miss in the south but there | :15:41. | :15:44. | |
could be torrential where they occur, especially across parts of | :15:45. | :15:46. | |
Wales in northern England. The longer spells of rain, some of that | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
thundery, in Northern Ireland and across Scotland you up at a sunny | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
but we will see some thunderstorms moving here through the afternoon, | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
working their way northwards. They were quite reach the far north of | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
Scotland, could hit 2728 tomorrow. Elsewhere most pieces down little | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
bit but across the eastern coast of England it will be a hot day than | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
today. In the Sunday, though, overnight storms in northern | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Scotland will gradually clear away. Most will have a dry day with and | :16:12. | :16:15. | |
sunny spells. Feeling a little bit fresher as well but with humidity | :16:16. | :16:17. | |
building in south-east England we could see some nasty thunderstorms | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
returned. They will rumble on through Sunday night and into bank | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
holiday Monday and interbank holiday Monday, it looks like we will see | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
things fresh across the board. There could bill be a few thunderstorms | :16:28. | :16:31. | |
around, particularly across England and Wales, and more especially | :16:32. | :16:34. | |
Central and eastern parts of England. Scotland and Northern | :16:35. | :16:37. | |
Ireland our bank holiday Monday should be dry and brighter with | :16:38. | :16:40. | |
sunny spells, but not the temperatures of today. Temperatures | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
in the mid-to high temperatures, may be low 30s. We are looking at mid to | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
high teens, may be low 20s. So a bank holiday weekend gets cooler, we | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
see some sunny spells and a lot of dry weather. More from this glorious | :16:55. | :16:57. | |
beach throughout the morning. Now back to you. | :16:58. | :16:59. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :17:00. | :17:02. | |
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to link British foreign | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
policy with terrorist attacks in the UK. | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
In a speech he'll say the government has a responsibility to minimise | :17:10. | :17:12. | |
Police investigating the Manchester bomb attack are searching | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Another man was arrested overnight, taking the total number of people | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Mike has stayed with us for a look at some of the papers, thanks, Mike. | :17:22. | :17:37. | |
Let's look at some of the front pages and let's start with the | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
Mirror, the front page looking ahead to the bank holiday. A number of | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
unprecedented security moves, you will be aware of the firearms | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
officers being deployed on trains across the UK. The headline: | :17:51. | :17:55. | |
So many big events happening across this weekend. We will talk more | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
about that later on. These images, one of the raids, this was in | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
Nuneaton and we will keep you updated on any developments through | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
the morning. Of course, as the terror level is at | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
critical, the security alerts are increasing, the picture on the front | :18:18. | :18:21. | |
page of the Daily Telegraph is the British Transport Police armed on a | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
train service from London to Birmingham, the first time we are | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
seeing armed police on national ale services, although we have seen | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
armed police on the London Underground since December. Another | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
line coming through is General Election campaigning for the | :18:37. | :18:40. | |
election on June the eighth has resumed, and the papers are | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
analysing what the leaders of the parties are saying. Jeremy Corbyn is | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
making a speech later today, he will connect Britain's military campaigns | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
to atrocities such as Manchester, our actions abroad to terrorism in | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
Manchester and the Guardian is looking at Theresa May, who is | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
looking at extremism online and saying technology giants need to | :19:03. | :19:06. | |
lead the fight against extremism and she will meet G7 leaders today to | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
join a plea for action. Sorry about the noises, it is just | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
me knocking your mouse off the table. Picking up on that story in | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
the Daily Mail, talking about what the Internet can do if you like in | :19:20. | :19:24. | |
terms of clamping down on social media sites. Let's finish with the | :19:25. | :19:28. | |
front page of the Sun, you will be aware a number of raids have taken | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
place, there was a raid on a flat in the city centre of Manchester, the | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
claim in the Sun is this is the bomb factory where Salman Abedi ilk a | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
deadly device. This weekend, lots of people are | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
mindful of big events, the city games, the Radio 1 big festival, | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
lots of big things going on, people are talking about the weather, | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
fantastic, the bank holiday, people are determined to go out and enjoy | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
themselves. The great events that bring people together, I was with | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
the Birmingham football team and they had 11 different nationalities | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
playing together, it was brilliant. And the FA Cup final at Wembley, | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
another big event that brings the whole world together watching | :20:15. | :20:18. | |
Wembley. Sport is great at lightening the mood, a great set of | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
stories inside the papers. I'm a big fan of the yellow I've never tried | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
it with a goat on your back, the next big thing from America because | :20:28. | :20:36. | |
it can release good chemicals -- yoga. It can help spinal recovery. | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
It relaxes you as you're doing your downward dog, at first the goats | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
jump on your back and nibble your ears, you're laughing and you are | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
trying to maintain the downward dog while keeping the goat still, that's | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
another benefit of having a goat on your back. It depends on how heavy | :20:55. | :21:01. | |
the goat is. They tend to be Pygmy goats, not a big Billy! Can I | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
suggest this is something you should be trying? I would like that, would | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
happily go to Devon to try it to see if it is genuine and see if it has | :21:14. | :21:16. | |
beneficial effects. There's one here with three people and a complete | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
goat period and a goat on the back on the top. This is in China, Forest | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
Green Rovers are in the football league, in China there is a football | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
pitch with a EU treat that they can't get rid of, so they play | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
around it. It would be a great pitch for Nottingham Forest. -- ewe tree. | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
I reckon if you play on any pitch this morning, and there's a worst | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
hazard in the area than a giant tree, let us know. It is managed by | :21:46. | :21:57. | |
Spruce Rioch apparently! This fight, the fighter has lost two and a half | :21:58. | :22:04. | |
ofst despite having a high-fat diet. -- two and a half stone. He puts | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
butter in his coffee. Doesn't really sound very nice. I would be ordering | :22:10. | :22:11. | |
one of those! -- won't be. It's said to be the oldest trophy | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
in international sport, but Britain has never won | :22:15. | :22:17. | |
sailing's America's Cup. This year, though, four-time Olympic | :22:18. | :22:20. | |
champion Sir Ben Ainslie Ainslie and his team will start | :22:21. | :22:23. | |
the campaign to qualify Our correspondent Natalie Pirks | :22:24. | :22:26. | |
was given exclusive access to the team as they | :22:27. | :22:29. | |
prepared to race. As the most successful sailor in | :22:30. | :22:40. | |
Olympic history, Sir Ben Ainslie is well versed in pursuit of glory. But | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
over in Bermuda today he finds himself in a most unfamiliar role, | :22:46. | :22:52. | |
that of the underdog. In its 166 year history, no British team has | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
ever won the America's Cup. I guess you could say the America's Cup | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
becomes a life that session, it's very hard as a new team to come into | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
the America's Cup and get into a dominant position, certainly that's | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
what we're aiming to achieve. I think we've certainly come a long | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
way in the last three years. Ainslie has previous. Four years ago he won | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
the America's Cup, the oldest trophy in sport, with US Team Oracle in a | :23:18. | :23:21. | |
spectacular fight back they came from 8-1 down to beat New Zealand | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
9-8. The comeback of 2013 is complete! This board is dubbed | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
Formula 1 on water and on Bermuda's great sound, I got a close-up view | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
of Rita, as Ainslie names all of his boats, in action. Wow. It's only | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
when you see it this close-up that you can really appreciate these are | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
boats, they're like planes, they are gliding over the water and the aim | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
is not to touch the water as much as possible because that will minimise | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
drag and of course make them go faster. It's just amazing to watch. | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
There is no engine on-board, it's all generated by sheer muscle from | :24:03. | :24:07. | |
the sailors. Speed is the key here. The boats are capable of hitting up | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
to 60 mph. But BAR have struggled a little in practice. Ainslie's wife, | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
George Michael, who has moved with him to Bermuda with her 10-month-old | :24:18. | :24:26. | |
daughter and their two dogs, say his write him off at their peril. If | :24:27. | :24:30. | |
you're silly enough to wind him up to that level when he feels his back | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
is against the wall, he will respond the only way he knows how, win on | :24:35. | :24:38. | |
the water. It's a costly venture, though, rookies BAR have spent ?110 | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
million on this dream, ?6.5 million of that is taxpayers cash to help | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
them build their Portsmouth HQ but for Ainslie, the trophy would be | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
priceless. Personally and for everyone in this team I begin would | :24:51. | :24:54. | |
be the biggest achievement if we can pull this off, if we can win the | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
America's Cup for Britain, look at our sporting maritime heritage, it's | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
the one thing that's missing, it would be huge. Mild-mannered out of | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
the water, ruthless on it. This night of the realm is a man on a | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
mission. Natalie Pirks, BBC News, Bermuda. | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
We've got the official figures on how | :25:15. | :25:20. | |
Steph has been crunching the numbers in the West Midlands | :25:21. | :25:24. | |
Good morning to you and good morning, everybody. It's a glorious | :25:25. | :25:34. | |
morning here in Coventry, I'm at West league where they are | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
developing the site at the moment, some of the lads arriving at the | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
moment, they can't start because of noise regulations until around | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
7:30am. They're building around 80 affordable homes here. This is | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
obviously of course all helping the construction sector and we found out | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
yesterday that the latest growth figures came out, basically what | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
happens is statisticians will look at everything we do in the UK, the | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
products and services we sell, to look at how our economy is doing and | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
then get a figure from that, GDP, gross domestic product, that tells | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
us how the economy is doing. We found out in the first three months | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
of the year we grew by 0.2%, originally we thought we would have | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
grown by 0.3%, it shows things are a bit slower than we thought. The | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
majority of our economy is made up by the services sector, about 80%. A | :26:27. | :26:31. | |
large part of that is consumer spending, what we are spending in | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
the shops. What makes a big difference to that is how we feel, | :26:36. | :26:39. | |
our confidence about going out and spending in the shops. Some people | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
are saying people are feeling a bit more nervous now about spending in | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
the shops and that hasn't helped growth either. We've got inflation | :26:48. | :26:51. | |
figures showing prices are rising, that doesn't help how people are | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
feeling either. But I've got the van here so I will be talking to people | :26:57. | :27:00. | |
through the morning about what this means and whether things are going | :27:01. | :27:03. | |
to get better because of the I'm back with the latest | :27:04. | :30:22. | |
from the BBC London newsroom Plenty more on our website | :30:23. | :30:25. | |
at the usual address. Now, though, it's back | :30:26. | :30:28. | |
to Naga and Charlie. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
with Naga Munchetty and Charlie Coming up on Breakfast today: Less | :30:32. | :30:39. | |
than a week after the attack at the arena, we will hear | :30:40. | :30:46. | |
from the runners determined to take part in this weekend's | :30:47. | :30:49. | |
Great Manchester Run. Also this morning: We will take | :30:50. | :30:51. | |
a look at the plan that is in place And just before 9am, | :30:52. | :30:56. | |
historian Lucy Worsley will be here to talk about Jane Austen, | :30:57. | :31:03. | |
and the author's brushes with both But now a summary of this | :31:04. | :31:06. | |
morning's main news: The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :31:07. | :31:13. | |
is to resume his party's election campaign today with a speech linking | :31:14. | :31:16. | |
British military actions abroad He will say a government has | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
a responsibility to minimise the chance of attacks | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
and ensure that police The former Labour Home Secretary | :31:24. | :31:25. | |
Charles Clarke disagrees. The core attacks, from 9/11 | :31:26. | :31:36. | |
and beforehand, have come from forces which are about trying | :31:37. | :31:44. | |
to destroy the whole of our society. This is before the Iraq War, | :31:45. | :31:48. | |
before the wars in Syria. And there are about eliminating the | :31:49. | :31:54. | |
ability of young people to go to an event like they did in Manchester | :31:55. | :31:57. | |
Arena, eliminating programmes like this, to create a society under the | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
caliphate, which really removes all our democracies. | :32:01. | :32:01. | |
We will be talking to the Security Minister, | :32:02. | :32:03. | |
Ben Wallace, about Jeremy Corbyn's comments, and about this week's | :32:04. | :32:06. | |
Tributes are continuing to the 22 people killed in the Manchester bomb | :32:07. | :32:12. | |
This is St Ann's Square this morning, where flowers, | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
balloons and written tributes continue to be placed. | :32:17. | :32:18. | |
Another man has been arrested as part of the investigation | :32:19. | :32:21. | |
He was detained in the early hours of this morning. | :32:22. | :32:27. | |
A property has also been searched in the St Helens area of Merseyside. | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
Eight people are currently being held by police. | :32:31. | :32:32. | |
A man and a woman who were previously questioned have been | :32:33. | :32:35. | |
Our correspondent Wyre Davies is outside Greater Manchester Police | :32:36. | :32:39. | |
Eight people have been arrested and we have a number of development is | :32:40. | :33:07. | |
overnight. Ring us right up to date. What as you say, those images from | :33:08. | :33:20. | |
St Ann's Square remind us of the tragedy and the ongoing | :33:21. | :33:24. | |
investigation. A man was arrested last night in the Moss Side area of | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
the city, that has brought the number of people arrested 28. There | :33:30. | :33:34. | |
has been in operation in Merseyside, in St Helens. Police say they are | :33:35. | :33:38. | |
making significant progress. Having said that, the level of security | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
remains at the highest level, which is critical, and that is because the | :33:42. | :33:45. | |
police, we believe, are still looking for the people who may have | :33:46. | :33:49. | |
helped the bomber procure, arm and deploy his bomb which he set off on | :33:50. | :33:54. | |
Monday night with such devastating impact. And until they find those | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
people, until this ring of people is captured and is stopped, then there | :33:59. | :34:04. | |
is a real threat of another attack. The armed police, the soldiers we | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
see on our city streets, will still be there. People are waking up this | :34:09. | :34:14. | |
morning and going to work and seeing armed police on trains for the first | :34:15. | :34:17. | |
time in living memory, so there is still a very dangerous and tends | :34:18. | :34:22. | |
situation in the city and in the country more generally. On a wider | :34:23. | :34:25. | |
note, Greater Manchester Police have this morning resumed their | :34:26. | :34:30. | |
cooperation with American intelligence agencies. The passing | :34:31. | :34:33. | |
on of critical intelligence gathered during this case for interpretation | :34:34. | :34:37. | |
by allies, including the Americans. That had been stopped yesterday | :34:38. | :34:41. | |
because of the constant leaking of that intelligence in the American | :34:42. | :34:46. | |
media, leaving Greater Manchester Police with no other option because | :34:47. | :34:50. | |
they felt it was jeopardising their enquiries. So they briefly stopped | :34:51. | :34:53. | |
that arrangement but after reassurances from the Americans, | :34:54. | :34:55. | |
that has now been resumed this morning. | :34:56. | :34:58. | |
Theresa May is to urge the leaders of the world's most developed | :34:59. | :35:01. | |
nations to do more to tackle extremism online. | :35:02. | :35:03. | |
It is the first time President Donald Trump is attending | :35:04. | :35:06. | |
the event, which is taking place in Sicily. | :35:07. | :35:08. | |
The leaders of the G7 nations are expected to discuss a range | :35:09. | :35:11. | |
of issues, including global security, trade, | :35:12. | :35:13. | |
US media is reporting President Trump's son-in-law | :35:14. | :35:18. | |
and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner is under scrutiny | :35:19. | :35:20. | |
The inquiry is into Russian interference in last year's | :35:21. | :35:27. | |
Reports say investigators believe Mr Kushner may have significant | :35:28. | :35:31. | |
information relevant to their work, but this does not necessarily mean | :35:32. | :35:33. | |
A leading economic think tank has suggested schools could be worse off | :35:34. | :35:39. | |
financially under a Conservative government, despite a pledge | :35:40. | :35:41. | |
The Institute for Fiscal Studies says the party's plans would result | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
in a 3% cut to school budgets, in real terms. | :35:47. | :35:49. | |
It says that Labour would increase spending slightly, | :35:50. | :35:51. | |
and the Liberal Democrats would maintain the status quo. | :35:52. | :35:53. | |
In response, the Conservatives said at least their proposals | :35:54. | :35:56. | |
This is the astonishing moment a woman tried to stop a thief | :35:57. | :36:12. | |
from stealing her car at a petrol station in the United States. | :36:13. | :36:15. | |
28-year-old Melissa Smith was filling up her car when a man | :36:16. | :36:18. | |
The owner then jumped on the bonnet of the vehicle, | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
You can see the side door still open. There were so much going on in | :36:24. | :36:59. | |
that. It is the other car, obviously the driver did not want to be | :37:00. | :37:04. | |
involved at all, while this brave woman is saying there is no way you | :37:05. | :37:11. | |
are taking my car. A few hours from the start of what has become a | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
really special event in Manchester. It is almost part of the summer now. | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
You get thousands of people doing their shopping, but your bags down | :37:21. | :37:24. | |
and above you in the high street, past the shops and the officers, | :37:25. | :37:29. | |
some top athletes running past. On a raised track on the high street. And | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
it is free, tens of thousands of people lining the streets and they | :37:36. | :37:38. | |
made the decision it should go ahead, despite the attack on Monday. | :37:39. | :37:49. | |
To show, I suppose, that Manchester is so together, and you have the | :37:50. | :37:51. | |
great Manchester run as well. So later today, the Great City Games | :37:52. | :37:57. | |
will take place in the heart Naturally it will be | :37:58. | :38:00. | |
an emotional occasion, following the events | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
on Monday night. A host of international | :38:04. | :38:05. | |
athletes are competing and showing their support, though, | :38:06. | :38:07. | |
including 2012 Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford | :38:08. | :38:09. | |
and the two-time Paralympic These events are the ones that we | :38:10. | :38:17. | |
need. We need to show that it doesn't start -- stop us, you know, | :38:18. | :38:23. | |
and I think that is what we do well in this country, and what we do a | :38:24. | :38:27. | |
great job of, is that we will stand up, we will go to our jobs, we will | :38:28. | :38:32. | |
turn up to events and we will show our support together. And I think | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
that that is... They keep getting the exact opposite response to | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
properly what everyone wants, but it is amazing to see, and I love it. | :38:39. | :38:40. | |
Hull City are the latest football club to lose their manager, | :38:41. | :38:43. | |
after Marco Silva announced he was leaving. | :38:44. | :38:45. | |
Silva had been in charge for just over four months, | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
and had become a favourite with the fans. | :38:49. | :38:50. | |
He led Hull to six wins from his 18 Premier League games, | :38:51. | :38:53. | |
but couldn't save them from relegation. | :38:54. | :38:55. | |
In recent days, he has been linked with Watford and Crystal Palace. | :38:56. | :38:58. | |
He wasn't the only manager to leave his job yesterday. | :38:59. | :39:01. | |
The Leeds United head coach, Garry Monk, resigned | :39:02. | :39:03. | |
A new owner took over on Wednesday, but couldn't agree a deal, | :39:04. | :39:08. | |
and so Leeds are looking for a ninth manager in three years. | :39:09. | :39:11. | |
England head coach Gareth Southgate has left captain Wayne Rooney out | :39:12. | :39:14. | |
of his squad for the matches against Scotland and France next month. | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
At club level, Rooney says he has more or less decided | :39:18. | :39:20. | |
on his Manchester United future, but won't reveal | :39:21. | :39:22. | |
16-year-old Ethan Ampadu is one of seven uncapped players named | :39:23. | :39:30. | |
by Wales manager Chris Coleman in his training squad ahead | :39:31. | :39:33. | |
of June's World Cup qualifier against Serbia. | :39:34. | :39:35. | |
The teenager only made his professional debut | :39:36. | :39:37. | |
The first leg of the Scottish Premiership play-off | :39:38. | :39:46. | |
between Dundee United and Hamilton finished goalless at Tannadice. | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
The first significant sporting event since Monday's terrorist attack took | :39:50. | :39:57. | |
There was increased security at the Academy Stadium, | :39:58. | :40:00. | |
as Manchester City hosted Chelsea in the Women's Super League Spring | :40:01. | :40:04. | |
A Toni Duggan goal gave City a 1-0 win, a result which moves them | :40:05. | :40:17. | |
into second place in the table, just a point behind leaders | :40:18. | :40:20. | |
Formula 1 championship leader, Sebastian Vettel, was fastest | :40:21. | :40:24. | |
in second practice ahead of this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix. | :40:25. | :40:26. | |
Lewis Hamilton was quickest in the first session, | :40:27. | :40:28. | |
On his return to the sport, for just one race, the 2009 world | :40:29. | :40:33. | |
champion, Jenson Button, was 12th-fastest. | :40:34. | :40:35. | |
Button is standing in for Fernando Alonso at McLaren this weekend. | :40:36. | :40:38. | |
The Spaniard is driving in the Indianapolis 500. | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
England all-rounder Ben Stokes is a doubt for the second | :40:44. | :40:46. | |
One-Day International against South Africa tomorrow. | :40:47. | :40:47. | |
Stokes injured his knee in the victory in the first match | :40:48. | :40:50. | |
of the three-game series earlier this week, and had to leave | :40:51. | :40:53. | |
He was due to have a scan last night, which should reveal | :40:54. | :40:57. | |
In Super League, St Helens claimed a dramatic late win against local | :40:58. | :41:02. | |
Behind for much of the game, Saints fought back with this try | :41:03. | :41:10. | |
from Mark Percival, his second of the match, | :41:11. | :41:12. | |
just two minutes from the end, giving them a 22-19 victory. | :41:13. | :41:15. | |
It is a second consecutive win for new Saints coach Justin | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
Talking of Rugby League, there is a big match tonight, Salford against | :41:19. | :41:27. | |
Catalans Dragons, and Salford have said come along for free if everyone | :41:28. | :41:31. | |
gives a little donation to the charity supporting victims and their | :41:32. | :41:34. | |
families of the terror attack on Monday. Another example of how sport | :41:35. | :41:37. | |
is bringing people together and doing its bit. Yes, I noticed in one | :41:38. | :41:43. | |
of the games last night, at 22 minutes into the match, I agreement, | :41:44. | :41:49. | |
the crowd just broke into a minute's applause. I think all sporting | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
events are finding new ways to mark their respect, tomorrow at the FA | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
Cup final there are numerous ways that respects will be paid. A busy | :41:59. | :42:06. | |
sporting weekend, as Mike mentioned. Could be very hot for many of those | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
participating, and for those who will enjoy a bank holiday. Some say | :42:11. | :42:15. | |
it could be hotter in the UK than in Barbados. Matt has gone to the beach | :42:16. | :42:19. | |
to get a flavour. Not quite Barbados, but still glorious. Yes, | :42:20. | :42:32. | |
not quite Barbados, but Weston-Super-Mare lapping behind me. | :42:33. | :42:37. | |
Usually at low tide it is about a mile from here but just over my | :42:38. | :42:41. | |
shoulder is the grand Pier, which burned down back in 2008, rebuilt | :42:42. | :42:48. | |
and opened for 2010, and I'm sure it will be thriving, with lots of | :42:49. | :42:51. | |
visitors this weekend. A glorious start here, as it is across many | :42:52. | :42:55. | |
parts of the country. Quite a warm start for some, may be one of the | :42:56. | :43:00. | |
warmest starts in May on record. But it is going to be a hot and sunny | :43:01. | :43:05. | |
day almost UK wide today. Clear blue skies for the vast majority, from | :43:06. | :43:09. | |
dawn to dusk. Low cloud across Shetland this morning will break up | :43:10. | :43:14. | |
at times. Foremost, as I said, sunny conditions. A bit of a breeze across | :43:15. | :43:18. | |
southern parts of England and Wales. That limits temperatures across some | :43:19. | :43:21. | |
southern and eastern coast to around 20 Celsius at rest but the sun | :43:22. | :43:25. | |
overhead steal every bit as strong wherever you are, very high UV | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
levels today and for many temperatures in the mid-to high 20s. | :43:30. | :43:34. | |
28 Celsius possible in north-west England and north Wales and maybe 30 | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
degrees in northern parts of Scotland, particularly around | :43:39. | :43:41. | |
Inverness. That will make northern Scotland warmer than Barbados. | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
Tonight we will see some isolated storms to finish the day in northern | :43:47. | :43:49. | |
parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland but through the night we | :43:50. | :43:53. | |
turn our attention to Wales and out west England, where some lightning | :43:54. | :43:55. | |
storms could start to develop to take us into the morning. It will be | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
a pretty warm night as well, temperatures staying in the | :44:00. | :44:02. | |
mid-to-high teens for one or two back of you into the start of | :44:03. | :44:05. | |
Saturday. A different day on Saturday, eastern areas starting | :44:06. | :44:09. | |
with sunshine, as does Scotland, and sunshine sweeping northwards across | :44:10. | :44:12. | |
England and Wales fairly quickly. Some of those could be torrential, | :44:13. | :44:16. | |
one or two will avoid them altogether. Northern Ireland will | :44:17. | :44:19. | |
see spells of heavy and thundery rain through the day and for | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
Scotland after a dry and bright start the thunderstorms moving up | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
into the afternoon. Temperatures tomorrow will be down a little bit | :44:28. | :44:30. | |
on the day's values, certainly across western areas but hot and | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
humid across parts of eastern and south-eastern England. For one or | :44:34. | :44:38. | |
two on the east coast it will feel warmer than today. Taking us from | :44:39. | :44:42. | |
Saturday into Sunday, overnight storms into the north of Scotland, | :44:43. | :44:46. | |
one or two showers around in the west to begin with but most will | :44:47. | :44:49. | |
have a dry day with sunshine. Temperatures down on what we have | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
seen through today and also Saturday. Still quite humid in the | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
south-east corner. Could hit around 25 degrees here and it is here where | :44:57. | :45:00. | |
later on we could see some nasty thunderstorms develop once again, | :45:01. | :45:03. | |
particularly late afternoon and into the evening. And those could rumble | :45:04. | :45:08. | |
on overnight into bank holiday Monday. On bank holiday Monday we | :45:09. | :45:11. | |
could see a scattering of showers and maybe a thunderstorm across | :45:12. | :45:14. | |
parts of England and Wales, mainly the central and eastern parts of | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
England. The further north and west you are on bank holiday Monday, it | :45:19. | :45:22. | |
looks like you will probably be dry. It will be feeling a good deal | :45:23. | :45:25. | |
fresher than we have seen over the last few days and certainly into the | :45:26. | :45:29. | |
start of the weekend. In fact, by bank holiday Monday 22 May the high | :45:30. | :45:40. | |
and the south-east corner but across the rest of the country, | :45:41. | :45:42. | |
temperatures generally mid-to-high teens. But throughout, the UV levels | :45:43. | :45:46. | |
will be higher if not very high across the UK, so the weather | :45:47. | :45:49. | |
feeling a bit cooler and a bit warmer, and it will be a | :45:50. | :45:52. | |
particularly strong sunshine kind of weekend. | :45:53. | :45:53. | |
Much of the focus in the aftermath of the Manchester bombing has been | :45:54. | :45:56. | |
on the government's Prevent strategy, | :45:57. | :45:58. | |
which aims to stop people becoming terrorists. | :45:59. | :46:00. | |
So is Prevent working or is it time for a rethink? | :46:01. | :46:03. | |
Joining us now is Zubeda Limbada, who has worked | :46:04. | :46:05. | |
on Prevent strategies in the West Midlands. | :46:06. | :46:22. | |
Thanks very much for joining us on Breakfast this morning. Briefly | :46:23. | :46:29. | |
explain what Prevent is all about, what are the sticking points about | :46:30. | :46:33. | |
Prevent and what is the proof that it's working? I think you're right | :46:34. | :46:38. | |
to highlight where some of the issues around Prevent are, which is | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
about trust building, it's a scheme that's been in place nationally | :46:44. | :46:49. | |
since around 2007. And there's been some success in terms of | :46:50. | :46:53. | |
intervention, those vulnerable to radicalisation being put on | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
programmes. There's a vast number of community projects as well that are | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
locally grounded, so there's a whole number of things in the spaces that | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
Prevent works, and there's the Prevent Judy, which has been in | :47:08. | :47:13. | |
place since 2015, where organisations like ourselves would | :47:14. | :47:17. | |
work in schools and public places to make people aware, teachers or | :47:18. | :47:21. | |
students for example, around vulnerability and radicalisation | :47:22. | :47:24. | |
were some of the concerns have arisen in recent days around | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
Prevent, it is about trust within certain sections of the community, | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
especially in the Muslim community, and it is a minority in the sense | :47:35. | :47:38. | |
there's an element of trust isn't there with the trust with the | :47:39. | :47:44. | |
authorities. So the trust is critical, but at the same time there | :47:45. | :47:48. | |
are many people who do engage with it and they recognise that in the | :47:49. | :47:52. | |
absence of nothing, a scheme does need to be placed and that's the | :47:53. | :47:56. | |
first thing the government needs to engage with in the sense of looking | :47:57. | :48:01. | |
and being more engaged, but also addressing some of the transparency | :48:02. | :48:05. | |
issues as well. How do you build that bridge between government and | :48:06. | :48:10. | |
communities? People living daily lives and government, which is way | :48:11. | :48:13. | |
up there seemingly removed from what's going on. You mentioned trust | :48:14. | :48:18. | |
and there's also communities working together to make sure these | :48:19. | :48:21. | |
radicals, the people who wish us harm, don't get their wish. The | :48:22. | :48:28. | |
essence of Prevent is about expressing all forms of extremism, | :48:29. | :48:32. | |
trust building needs to be not just with the government but with | :48:33. | :48:38. | |
localised police forces with people who might have concerns around far | :48:39. | :48:43. | |
right extremism, with Islamism. Localised relationships is | :48:44. | :48:47. | |
important. The second thing is about making sure that we aren't reactive. | :48:48. | :48:52. | |
Trust building takes time. It's about people sharing their concerns. | :48:53. | :48:56. | |
For example, when we go into schools, we may have, for example, | :48:57. | :49:01. | |
great cases of where teachers feel all we want is something practical, | :49:02. | :49:06. | |
how do we talk to our young people, how do we understand how online | :49:07. | :49:11. | |
radicalisation takes place? When we talk to some students for example, | :49:12. | :49:15. | |
some of the negative concerns will be based on the fact that they've | :49:16. | :49:19. | |
been told from whichever sources that they shouldn't engage with | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
Prevent because if they do raise concerns, if they express a negative | :49:25. | :49:28. | |
point of view, rightly or only, because these should be safe spaces, | :49:29. | :49:33. | |
then they will get into trouble with authorities. There's a mixture of | :49:34. | :49:36. | |
things that can be done but at the essence of it all, trust building | :49:37. | :49:41. | |
and transparency has to be critical. How much intelligence do you | :49:42. | :49:45. | |
think... Or credible intelligence do you think has been derived from the | :49:46. | :49:49. | |
Prevent strategy. Amber Rudd, the Defence Secretary, was saying on the | :49:50. | :49:54. | |
BBC much has so it is worth sticking with. I think, as I mentioned | :49:55. | :49:58. | |
earlier, there's an element of success that has to be pointed out. | :49:59. | :50:03. | |
A lot of the things we don't see publicly as individuals in terms of | :50:04. | :50:06. | |
weather something has worked, because actually you're working to | :50:07. | :50:11. | |
stop people radicalised, you're educating people and communities and | :50:12. | :50:16. | |
teachers and young people. A lot of the factors you won't see. The Cure | :50:17. | :50:20. | |
travel programme the government has in place is about one to one | :50:21. | :50:24. | |
interventions and mentoring -- Channel. It is about putting in | :50:25. | :50:31. | |
place steps. Again the perception is around a religious group being | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
targeted, a feeling of being marginalised from the process. | :50:36. | :50:39. | |
Again, my point is around where the government needs to engage. It's | :50:40. | :50:43. | |
been in place since 2007 so I think we need to look at what's working | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
and what isn't working, and it's not enough just to invest more muggy. | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
Thank you so much for your time this morning. Zubeda Limbada from Connect | :50:53. | :50:56. | |
Futures. -- Zubeda Limbada. We will speak to security minister | :50:57. | :51:03. | |
Ben Wallace later on, going back to events in Manchester. | :51:04. | :51:05. | |
This morning Steph is out in the West Midlands | :51:06. | :51:07. | |
She's taking a look at the economy, which grew less than previously | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
thought at the beginning of the year. | :51:12. | :51:15. | |
Shall we find out why? Steph, good morning! Good morning to you and | :51:16. | :51:23. | |
good morning, everyone, a really glorious morning here in Coventry | :51:24. | :51:27. | |
and as you can see I'm on a construction site, construction | :51:28. | :51:30. | |
plays an important part in the economy and as you said, we got the | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
latest growth figures yesterday on how well our economy is doing and we | :51:35. | :51:39. | |
found it's not growing as fast as we thought. But construction is a | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
sector doing well. We have Jena, one of the bosses as part of this | :51:44. | :51:48. | |
development. Tell us about this site. It was a former commercial | :51:49. | :51:58. | |
complex that's been undeveloped for a few years and it was causing | :51:59. | :52:01. | |
antisocial behaviour for local residents. In partnership with | :52:02. | :52:04. | |
Midland Heart and Coventry City Council, we are developing a key for | :52:05. | :52:07. | |
affordable homes, a mixture of rent and shared ownership. Where is the | :52:08. | :52:10. | |
growth in your business coming from? The housing is growing, the numbers | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
of growth over the last year is the biggest in a decade for | :52:15. | :52:17. | |
housebuilding, but affordable housing is high in demand and | :52:18. | :52:21. | |
obviously over the next few years we want us to pay a partnership in | :52:22. | :52:26. | |
fulfilling that command. You don't get hit as hard by the economy | :52:27. | :52:30. | |
because people always want affordable homes? Yes, shared | :52:31. | :52:35. | |
ownership or rented or the new Help To Buy Scheme, massive demand, we | :52:36. | :52:41. | |
can't build enough homes. Thanks for letting us in. Construction is just | :52:42. | :52:45. | |
part of the story when it comes to the economy, there's other elements | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
that make it up. Services is obviously a big part of it making up | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
80%. Les have a chat with a couple of guests, Tom and Claire. Tom, how | :52:55. | :53:00. | |
is our economy made up, services is the biggest chunk? That's right. | :53:01. | :53:06. | |
Services represents about 80% of the economy so if there's a slowdown in | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
things like retail and the hospitality sector then that has big | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
impact on the economy. This week we have seen the economy grew much less | :53:15. | :53:18. | |
quickly in the first three months of the year than it did in the last | :53:19. | :53:22. | |
three months of last year. What we think we're seeing is the beginnings | :53:23. | :53:26. | |
of a slowdown related to the Brexit vote last summer. Everyone said at | :53:27. | :53:30. | |
the time that this would slow the economy and it didn't, it was | :53:31. | :53:33. | |
remarkably resilient, but we're beginning to see an impact now. Part | :53:34. | :53:39. | |
of that is people pulling back on retail spending, Claire, as a | :53:40. | :53:42. | |
consumer expert, it's about confidence? Yes, the ONS figures | :53:43. | :53:47. | |
have said consumer confidence is quite low. People are more reluctant | :53:48. | :53:51. | |
to spend their money and they are unsure about whether their salaries | :53:52. | :53:55. | |
will continue to grow or whether they will even still be employed in | :53:56. | :53:59. | |
the future. That constraint on spending slows the economy and it | :54:00. | :54:03. | |
puts pressure on retail, who are facing a lot of pressures beyond | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
Brexit, where currency has been affected, but within the last few | :54:08. | :54:10. | |
months, since April, they've seen the impact of the increase in | :54:11. | :54:14. | |
minimum wage and the increase in business rates. There's a lot of | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
pressure on retail to be more efficient, to try to do more with | :54:19. | :54:22. | |
less resources. That may lead to them cutting hours, which will in | :54:23. | :54:26. | |
turn knock on further to consumer confidence as people find they | :54:27. | :54:30. | |
aren't getting the same number of hours offered as normal. Tom, Claire | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
mentioned currencies, that's played a big part because in some respects | :54:35. | :54:38. | |
it has helped exports with a weaker pound but put pressure on other | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
areas? What's happened to the pound is crucial to understand the | :54:43. | :54:48. | |
economy. It has fallen, the raise of imports has been noticed, and at the | :54:49. | :54:53. | |
same time that inflation is rising, household earnings aren't rising. | :54:54. | :54:58. | |
Purchasing power is actually falling back behind inflation. In other | :54:59. | :55:02. | |
words people are essentially having a bit of a pay cut because the cost | :55:03. | :55:07. | |
of living is going up but wages aren't. That's right, it is an | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
effective pay cut because prices are rising faster than wages. Is there | :55:12. | :55:16. | |
any reason for optimism? The construction sector is doing well, | :55:17. | :55:20. | |
any other areas for hope and optimism? It is a bit of a mixed | :55:21. | :55:26. | |
bag, in the official statistics this week we saw business investment was | :55:27. | :55:30. | |
a bit higher. Actually more recently, Claire was talking about | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
retail, the retail figures for April were a bit better so it could be | :55:35. | :55:38. | |
that actually the first three months were a blip and the second quarter | :55:39. | :55:41. | |
might be stronger than the first. Retail may be better in the future | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
and this could be a bit of an uncertain period? Historically | :55:47. | :55:49. | |
consumer confidence is more wobbly in the period before a General | :55:50. | :55:53. | |
Election because of the uncertainty and afterwards it comes up a bit. | :55:54. | :55:58. | |
With any luck it will stabilise. There are pressures on the | :55:59. | :56:01. | |
retailers' margins because they are paying more for goods but they could | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
be absorbed somewhat into their profits to help the customer for the | :56:06. | :56:09. | |
products they have always had. Hopefully in the second half of the | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
year we will see something more buoyant. Food being served shortly | :56:14. | :56:18. | |
so hopefully we will be speaking to you later, we will talk about skills | :56:19. | :56:23. | |
later, the young apprentices, can you give us a wave? They are a bit | :56:24. | :56:28. | |
shy. Not sure how much they appreciated you interrupting their | :56:29. | :56:31. | |
breakfast, Steph! That's a very good point! Thanks very much, we will | :56:32. | :59:52. | |
Plenty more on our website at the usual address. | :59:53. | :59:54. | |
Now, though, it's back to Naga and Charlie. | :59:55. | :59:56. | |
Hello, this is Breakfast, with Naga Munchetty and Charlie | :59:57. | :00:30. | |
Jeremy Corbyn says terrorist attacks at home can be linked to British | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
military action, as he calls for a change in UK foreign policy. | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
Just days after the Manchester attack, the Labour leader will say | :00:39. | :00:41. | |
the War on Terror is simply not working. | :00:42. | :00:46. | |
In the investigation overnight, police make another arrest, | :00:47. | :00:48. | |
and carry out searches in the St Helens area of Merseyside. | :00:49. | :00:51. | |
As the terror threat remains critical, we will be talking | :00:52. | :00:54. | |
to the Security Minister about extra measures being put in place | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
at events across the bank holiday weekend. | :00:58. | :01:15. | |
Also this morning: Theresa May tells leaders of the G7 countries | :01:16. | :01:22. | |
that the fight against so-called Islamic State is moving | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
from the battlefield to the internet, and urges them | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
Our economy is not growing as fast as we thought it was at the start of | :01:28. | :01:44. | |
the year. I am at a construction site in carpentry with the Breakfast | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Butty Van. I had better get serving, look at the Q -- Coventry. | :01:49. | :01:57. | |
In sport: No Silva lining for Hull - relegated from the Premier League, | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
and now they have lost their highly regarded manager Marco Silva. | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
And leading Britain to glory in the America's Cup. It has been described | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
as Formula One on water. And what is the weather going to be | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
like this bank holiday weekend? Matt is on the beach | :02:13. | :02:15. | |
at Weston-super-Mare. I certainly am, good morning. I have | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
my sunscreen and sunglasses. You will need them today, hot and sunny | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
almost nationwide. There are some thunderstorms in the forecast. Full | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
details coming up in 15 minutes. First, our main story: The Labour | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
leader, Jeremy Corbyn, is to resume his party's election | :02:34. | :02:37. | |
campaign today with a speech linking British military actions abroad | :02:38. | :02:40. | |
with terrorist attacks in the UK. He will say a government has | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
a responsibility to minimise the chance of attacks | :02:44. | :02:45. | |
and ensure that police We will have the latest | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
on the investigation into the Manchester | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
attack in a moment. Let's get the latest | :02:52. | :02:54. | |
from our political correspondent It is quite an interesting strategy | :02:55. | :03:04. | |
by Jeremy Corbyn, considering that these comments are gathering quite a | :03:05. | :03:10. | |
bit of criticism. I think these comments will promote a bit of a | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
backlash, with criticism not just from Jeremy Corbyn's opponents but | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
from some within his own party as well. Labour leader's team knows | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
that by stating our safety at home is made worse by War abroad they | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
will be courting controversy. He does say that this does not reduce | :03:30. | :03:33. | |
in anyway the guilt of those who attack our children and he says that | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
terrorists will be forever reviled, but we have already had criticism | :03:38. | :03:42. | |
from the former Labour Home Secretary Charles Clarke, who said | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
Jeremy Corbyn was simply wrong. Mr Corbyn will also say when it comes | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
to policing in the NHS we cannot be cared for and protected on the | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
cheap. And Home Secretary Amber Rudd has said it is wrong to suggest cuts | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
in policing led to this attack. She said we cannot imply, or we should | :04:00. | :04:04. | |
not imply, that this terrorist activity may not have taken place if | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
they had been more policing. Certainly I think, at the very | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
least, Jeremy Corbyn's pitch today does put him on pretty tricky | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
ground, considering these terrorist attacks in Manchester happened just | :04:18. | :04:18. | |
four days ago. Thank you very much. Another man has been arrested | :04:19. | :04:25. | |
as part of the investigation He was detained in the early | :04:26. | :04:28. | |
hours of this morning. A property has also been searched | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
in the St Helens area of Merseyside. Eight people are currently | :04:33. | :04:36. | |
being held by police. A man and a woman who were | :04:37. | :04:38. | |
previously questioned have been Our correspondent Wyre Davies | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
is outside Greater Manchester Police Bring us right up to date with any | :04:42. | :04:53. | |
developments throughout the night. Greater Manchester Police say their | :04:54. | :04:56. | |
investigation is making real progress. A man was arrested in the | :04:57. | :05:04. | |
Moss Side area of Manchester and as we speak there is another | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
investigation in the St Helens area in Merseyside. That rings the number | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
of people in custody related to this investigation to eight. Of course | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
there is still a very high level of alert. The police still haven't | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
found the people they believe may have helped the bomber to cure and | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
arm his device and set off his device on Monday night with such | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
devastating impacts, but they say they are making progress. Another | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
development in regard to the investigation, that exchange of | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
sensitive information between Greater Manchester Police and | :05:37. | :05:38. | |
American intelligence services has been resumed. That had been stopped | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
yesterday because of the constant leaking of intelligence by the | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Americans, which had really annoyed the police here in Manchester, and | :05:48. | :05:54. | |
it also led them to really feel that it had been hampering their | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
investigations but after reassurances from Washington that | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
exchange of information has now been resumed. As we are talking I would | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
like to bring up the live images, we can see now, this is St Ann's | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
Square, in the centre of Manchester. So many flowers being laid, people | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
passing by and placing flowers and taking moment to think that it has | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
become a place in Manchester where people have gone to seek some kind | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
of solace and possibly shared moment with some other people. We know that | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
many of the families have been attending the scene there. Yes, an | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
incredibly powerful place. The minute's silence they had their | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
yesterday was a very emotional moment. That sea of flowers grows by | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
the minute. Flowers, mementos, messages being left there. Many of | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
the family members, even those people who have actually lost | :06:49. | :06:51. | |
people, some of the 22 victims, their families have been there. | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
Quiet moments at other moments as well, and that really has become a | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
focal point for the city. And remember, despite this police | :07:01. | :07:04. | |
investigation obviously carrying on, the emotion here is still very raw. | :07:05. | :07:08. | |
This bombing, the biggest of its kind ever in the history of this | :07:09. | :07:11. | |
great northern city, only happened on Monday night. We are only just | :07:12. | :07:15. | |
learning the names of everybody who was involved. There are still more | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
than 20 people in hospital, many of them with life-threatening injuries, | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
and people who remember those and want to think about those people are | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
heading off to St Ann's Square to make their point and to be there, | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
because that is where the city and the community have been gathering. | :07:33. | :07:33. | |
For the moment, thank you very much. Armed police have begun patrolling | :07:34. | :07:35. | |
national rail services It is the first time that firearms | :07:36. | :07:38. | |
officers have been deployed on Britain's railways, | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
although there have been patrols on the London Underground | :07:43. | :07:44. | |
since December. The terror threat remains | :07:45. | :07:45. | |
at critical, meaning security services believe another | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
attack could be imminent. Theresa May is to urge the leaders | :07:49. | :07:49. | |
of the world's most developed nations to do more to | :07:50. | :08:02. | |
tackle extremism online. In a speech at the G7 summit, | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
in Sicily, the Prime Minister will say technology companies should | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
do more to remove harmful material. Our correspondent James Reynolds | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
is there this morning. There is so much to talk about with | :08:11. | :08:31. | |
Theresa May, but I understand that she might be cutting her attendance | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
at this meeting short as well. Yes, it is a two day summit but she will | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
only be there for this, its first day. She says her priority is to be | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
back in Britain but nonetheless it is an important summit for her and | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
for others. It is the first G7 summit for President Trump and for | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
Macron as well. This will be a chance for them to get together and | :08:57. | :09:00. | |
develop some of those issues, including intelligence sharing, | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
worries about extremism online and other issues. Migration, we are | :09:05. | :09:08. | |
standing in Sicily, and in the last year or so thousands of migrants | :09:09. | :09:11. | |
have been arriving on these shores from North Africa. There might be | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
discussions about that. They will also talk about climate change. A | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
lot of the European leaders want the United states, want Donald Trump, to | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
commit to the Paris climate change agreement which limits permissions. | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
President Trump has said he is not sure about that and want to review | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
United States participation in that. They will also talk about free trade | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
as well and it is a chance to test each other's round, to see what they | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
are about. President Trump was seen to barge his way past the | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
Montenegrin Prime Minister. You can imagine people saying make sure | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
there is enough space in the photos today, we don't want any jostling, | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
we want everyone to have their own space. What is the feedback on that | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
incident, shall we say? Very difficult to know what to read into | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
that. Clearly there are fewer people here today and they did spend | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
yesterday with each other so they might have a better sense of how to | :10:12. | :10:17. | |
relate to each other and there will be fewer handshake was as we saw | :10:18. | :10:20. | |
between President Trump and President Macron. Bear in mind these | :10:21. | :10:23. | |
are the biggest industrialised economies in the world. Today we | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
might see some real divisions between Donald Trump on one side and | :10:28. | :10:32. | |
the six on the other. Good to talk to you, James Reynolds in Sicily. | :10:33. | :10:34. | |
US media is reporting President Trump's son-in-law | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
and senior White House adviser Jared Kushner is under scrutiny | :10:37. | :10:38. | |
The inquiry is into Russian interference in last year's | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
Reports say investigators believe Mr Kushner may have significant | :10:47. | :10:52. | |
information relevant to their work, but this does not necessarily mean | :10:53. | :10:55. | |
The parents of a seriously ill nine-month-old boy, | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
who doctors say should be allowed to die, say they intend | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
to take their case to the Supreme Court. | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
The Court of Appeal ruled against Chris Gard and Connie Yates, | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
who had wanted to take their son Charlie for treatment | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
Judges upheld an earlier ruling which accepted the therapy | :11:11. | :11:13. | |
Scientists say new observations of the planet Jupiter have | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
They have been studying detailed photographs sent back to earth | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
Researchers say they have been amazed by the storms | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
Dozens of hurricanes, each the size of earth, | :11:26. | :11:29. | |
We have had more details overnight about Manchester bomber | :11:30. | :11:45. | |
Salman Abedi, including reports he returned to the UK from Libya | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
just last week, and claims he may have fought in the country's civil | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
We already know people who were concerned about his extreme | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
views called an anti-terror hotline, and yet still he appears to have | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
Security Minister Ben Wallace joins us now. | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
Thank you so much for joining us today. We will come back to some of | :12:07. | :12:12. | |
the specifics in relation to the bomber in just a few minutes. I just | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
want the first of all, if you could address some of the wider security | :12:17. | :12:20. | |
issues across the UK. Could you tell a first of all, in terms of numbers, | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
we know that troops are being used alongside police in some places. | :12:25. | :12:27. | |
Could you break down some of the numbers for us, the numbers of extra | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
police, armed police, and the numbers of soldiers and armed forces | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
who are working alongside them. Yes, first of all, the purpose | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
predominantly of deploying the troops is to backfill, the release | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
armed police from other duties such as guarding nuclear power stations, | :12:44. | :12:46. | |
to allow them to come forward onto the streets. That has released over | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
500 armed police onto our streets, in addition to changes ship patterns | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
for existing armed police -- shift patterns. You will see them deployed | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
obviously throughout the United Kingdom. The main purpose of the | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
Armed Forces deployment is that backfilling, is to release our | :13:06. | :13:08. | |
specialist police from other duties. Initially we were told up to 1000. | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
What are the figures you can tell us, in terms of the military | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
personnel? Well, the number of personnel deployed at first as 1500, | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
rising to 3000 if we need them and if we need them even more we could | :13:24. | :13:27. | |
do that. Just like the previous deployments, this is aimed to deal | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
with a specific threat, and it is not our intention that they stay out | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
for a long period of time. Instinctively, we don't want troops | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
on the street. This is a place for police. But first and foremost we | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
have to deal with the threat in the troops are there to support the | :13:42. | :13:45. | |
police, at the request of the police, and it is the police to ask | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
how to deploy them, and they seek other police resources. You talk | :13:51. | :13:54. | |
about the level of threat. I wonder if you could take us through some of | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
the practicalities here. People will be concerned. There are a number of | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
new developments, new to a lot of people, including armed police on | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
trains, for example. We know that the threat level is that critical. | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
We are told that hospitals have been told to be on alert and to be | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
especially prepared in case. Can you just... What reassurance can you | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
give people? What can you tell people about the nature of the | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
threat we are facing now, as compared with anything we have seen | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
recently? Well, I think the difference was, when we had the | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
Westminster attack only a few months ago it very quickly became apparent | :14:31. | :14:33. | |
that this was an individual on his own. And that meant that the threat | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
was contained. And while we had well over... Nearly 3000 people who were | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
subject to investigation at the moment, 400 cases at least of | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
terrorist activity that are being dealt with by our security services | :14:48. | :14:51. | |
and police at any one time, that individual incident meant that we | :14:52. | :14:54. | |
could be confident it wasn't going to spread, we could be confident | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
that he was... I am aware of time, I'm just keen that the scale of what | :15:01. | :15:06. | |
we are facing now appears to be on a different level to anything, | :15:07. | :15:09. | |
possibly in a lot of people's living memory, but it seems to be that the | :15:10. | :15:12. | |
scale, the preparations, the security arrangements, seems to be | :15:13. | :15:15. | |
above and beyond what many people have ever seen before. Without the | :15:16. | :15:17. | |
right? I don't think so. We've seen | :15:18. | :15:26. | |
deployments before. When you raise from severe to critical you have to | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
do it based on a thread, you can't be precautionary and do more people, | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
because we already have it severe that attack is highly likely. We've | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
already put extra security in place. But when it goes to critical, an | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
incident like this has demonstrated there is a network, wider than this | :15:46. | :15:50. | |
individual and therefore we need to be sure we've close down the | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
network, you will have seen the nine arrests so far, seven people in | :15:54. | :15:59. | |
custody and one overnight, we need to be sure, as the country is, that | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
we have limited and shut down the network that is there and at the | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
moment that is rolling on and that's why we thought it was important you | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
go to critical because until we can say with confidence we've dealt with | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
this individual... I want to ask about people going about their | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
business this weekend, what would you say to people going to a major | :16:22. | :16:25. | |
event? I'm going with my family and I feel safe because we have deployed | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
the extra resources, you will see more armed police and I spoke | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
yesterday to the organisers at Wembley and the organisers of | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
Birmingham Pride in Birmingham yesterday, I will speak to the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
Wembley organisers and I spoke to the mayor of magister a few days | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
ago, we have in place policing plans to make sure those events are | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
secured -- mayor of Manchester. Since those events we have outraged | :16:52. | :16:55. | |
the local police and security advisers have gone back to the | :16:56. | :16:58. | |
events to ask if there's anything more that can be done to make it | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
safe. The issue is, we have put in place a protective shield to say | :17:04. | :17:07. | |
that there will be people more alert, there will be people... More | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
armed police and people on the ground to make sure you have a safe | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
experience and I would say let's go back to our normal business, stay | :17:18. | :17:21. | |
alert, if you see anything suspicious, 999 or the | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
anti-terrorist Hotline. I want to ask about Salman Abedi, so many | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
questions about why it was a young man was able to come back from Libya | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
and five days later carry out this terror threat. Do you know his | :17:35. | :17:39. | |
movements, and so many questions about the alerts, the security | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
services we understand were told on numerous occasions questions asked | :17:45. | :17:48. | |
about his behaviour, about his links, and yet he was free to come | :17:49. | :17:53. | |
and go from Libya with known family links to militia and sometimes even | :17:54. | :18:03. | |
Isis itself. Well, I mean, first on this specific case, this is vast | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
rolling out. I think the analysis of this event will be done after we | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
have closed down this network and exploited the leads that we need to | :18:13. | :18:16. | |
do. I think your questions are very valid and of course... People will | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
be sitting at home thinking there are holes in the system, this is | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
someone who should have been picked up. I started my life as a young | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
counterterrorism officer in Northern Ireland. Manchester is my local | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
city. I live up here, my daughter only a few weeks ago when to that | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
very arena and I wish I could sit on this site and say we will always | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
catch every terrorist that we can find. -- this sofa. We live in an | :18:42. | :18:48. | |
open society, people can travel, we put billions of pounds into | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
intelligence services and capabilities... With respect this is | :18:53. | :18:56. | |
a teenage boy who people said took breaks from school to fight in the | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
medallist. There's a lot of speculation in the newspapers that | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
isn't correct -- Middle East. The best thing to say is in this | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
incident there will be a coroners inquest and inevitably lessons | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
learned and we will look at that if that's the case. I have to put it | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
into the scale of things. This is not about failure, this is about the | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
challenge and the scale of the challenge we face at the moment. MI5 | :19:23. | :19:27. | |
have clearly now said that the number of people they are | :19:28. | :19:30. | |
investigating everyday is a huge number of people. Anywhere between | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
400-500 live cases of investigation being pursued. There are 3000 people | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
within that group and another 12,000 people that are often flagged up as | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
of interest and we have to make those judgement calls. 500 active | :19:47. | :19:50. | |
plots we understand that we are dealing with? 500 active | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
investigations are some of those develop into pots, some of them we | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
disrupt the fall they get to that stage -- plots. Some people are | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
boasting and they don't turn out to have any credibility and that's the | :20:06. | :20:08. | |
big challenge. The professionals have to make these calls. It doesn't | :20:09. | :20:13. | |
work in a system... Intelligence is often scrappy, a bit here and a bit | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
there, you have to make intelligence judgements based on what's in front | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
of you. It's almost the first day that electioneering has commenced | :20:24. | :20:26. | |
again. I want to ask you about your thoughts on Jeremy Corbyn's comments | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
in a speech he is to to make later, making a direct link between | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
government policy abroad, our policy overseas, and terrorism at home. | :20:39. | :20:42. | |
What do you make of his comments? Well, I think these people... He | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
needs to get his history book out to be brutally honest. The development | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
of Salafists jihadis started way before, the 1950s, before British | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
policy issues that he is preparing to. These people hate our values, | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
it's not our foreign policy they go to war with us about, they hate us. | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
I have to read their online grooming methods, their publications, they | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
hate what we stand for, our society, our tolerance, our liberty and the | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
way we live our lives. That's the war they are engaged in and the best | :21:16. | :21:19. | |
way to see them off is to be consistent in our values. Our values | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
are British tolerance, openness, the rule of law, equality, the same | :21:25. | :21:29. | |
values and a total refusal to recognise terrorism has any place in | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
society. Do you believe Jeremy Corbyn's comments are appropriate? | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
Some people have said in terms of timing, in terms of what happened in | :21:38. | :21:41. | |
Manchester being to do with government policy. Are his comments | :21:42. | :21:47. | |
are appropriate? Did you say no? Are you saying they are appropriate or | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
inappropriate? I think Jeremy Corbyn's comments are totally | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
inappropriate and crassly timed. Right now we have police forces and | :21:55. | :21:59. | |
security services scrabbling to work hard to make us safe, overnight we | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
have 66 people still in hospital in Manchester and now isn't the time to | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
decide to use this event to attack foreign policy decisions that may or | :22:10. | :22:13. | |
may not have been made. Now is the time to focus on British values, our | :22:14. | :22:18. | |
intolerance of terrorism and stand united to say violence and hate | :22:19. | :22:22. | |
won't deliver the outcome they want and we as a society won't be | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
threatened or damaged by terrorism and its terrorism, whether it is | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
Islamic State terrorism we are seeing at the moment, all the last | :22:31. | :22:34. | |
time a major bomb was detonated in Manchester nearly 21 years ago in | :22:35. | :22:41. | |
June this month, IRA terrorism, that is terrorism. The best way to say to | :22:42. | :22:45. | |
these people we don't want you is not to give them excuses or other | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
reasons, but to say British values don't involve islands or the use of | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
terrorism. A terrorist is a terrorist and we will stand up and | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
work together to defeat hate -- violence. Ben Wallace, thank you for | :23:00. | :23:01. | |
your time this morning. Let's take a look at the bank | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
holiday weekend weather. We've sent Matt to the beach | :23:04. | :23:07. | |
at Weston-Super-Mare with a bucket Any of those modelled on you? I did | :23:08. | :23:20. | |
them all myself in the last half an hour, Naga! Good morning, we are at | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
the Sandcastle festival at Weston-Super-Mare, we will look at | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
Teletubbies and sharks over the next couple of hours but let's crack on | :23:30. | :23:34. | |
with the weather because it is a hot and sunny start here in | :23:35. | :23:37. | |
Weston-Super-Mare and a hot and sunny day ahead in many parts of the | :23:38. | :23:42. | |
UK today. A day of almost clear blue skies from dawn to dusk in many | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
parts. A bit more of a breeze in some southern and eastern parts | :23:48. | :23:50. | |
compared with what we've seen, and a bit of cloud in Shetland but | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
foremost it is and strong sunshine overhead. Temperatures ranging from | :23:55. | :23:59. | |
around 20 in southern and eastern coasts, mid-to-high 20 is inland, | :24:00. | :24:03. | |
around 28 on the north coast of Wales and parts of north-west | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
England -- twenties. The hottest light yesterday will be the northern | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
parts of Scotland and somewhere around Inverness we could hit 30 in | :24:12. | :24:20. | |
the afternoon -- like yesterday. The sea is very chilly, only around | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
11-13, you will be braver than me if you take a dip this afternoon. We | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
finish with an isolated storm in Scotland and Northern Ireland but | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
through the night in Wales and south-west England we will see | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
thunderstorms. Elsewhere, most places will stay dry, mist and low | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
cloud towards eastern coasts and a humid night in store with | :24:42. | :24:44. | |
temperatures not dropping below the midteens in many parts. It takes us | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
into a humid start to the weekend. Quite a bit of sunshine around but | :24:50. | :24:53. | |
already storms in Wales, south-west England and they will quickly sweep | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
across much of England and Wales through the morning and early | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
afternoon. Hit and miss in the south but where you see them they could be | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
torrential. Northern Ireland will see heavy rain and thunderstorms, in | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Scotland, thunderstorms moving through in the afternoon and | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
evening. Not reaching the northern half of Scotland by the afternoon so | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
here we could hit 28 and still humid in eastern England, we could have a | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
warmer day than today but further west it turns cooler. On Sunday, | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
overnight rain in Northern Scotland, clearing in the morning and isolated | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
showers in the West, many with varying sunshine through the day. | :25:31. | :25:34. | |
Still reasonably humid in the south-east corner and here we could | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
see thunderstorms again pushing in through the afternoon and into the | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
night. Elsewhere turning fresher and fresher still into bank holiday | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
Monday. A few storms around still in parts of England, but mainly central | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
and south-eastern parts where we could hit 22. Further north and | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
west, temperatures in the mid-to-high teens so feeling cooler | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
than the hot and sunny day most will get today. | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
Impressive behind you, as is the weather this weekend. See you later. | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
Steph has been crunching the numbers in the West Midlands | :26:08. | :26:15. | |
Good morning to you and glorious weather here, absolutely gorgeous in | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
Coventry. We're talking about the economy, latest figures show we | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
aren't growing as fast as we thought but construction doing quite well at | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
the moment. We have Gareth, who works in the industry, you run a | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
training centre. How is the industry for you? I run an engineering | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
manufacturing training facility, one in Shropshire, one in Aldridge, the | :26:43. | :26:47. | |
Black Country, the problem is attracting youngsters into | :26:48. | :26:50. | |
positions, we have 65 vacancies at the moment and we can't attract | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
people to fill the vacancies, ridiculous, it shows the economy is | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
buoyant. A couple of apprentices here, Maria, what made you decide to | :27:01. | :27:04. | |
take on this career? With engineering you can solve problems | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
and create something and that's what I love. Dean, you're joining the | :27:09. | :27:14. | |
sector, why? I have been going into maintenance and as a kid I like to | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
take things apart, you learn how they go together again. A family | :27:20. | :27:26. | |
interest? Yes, always in the family. Good luck with it all, lovely to | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
meet you and we will be here through the morning talking to people about | :27:31. | :27:33. | |
not just the construction sector because there's lots of other | :27:34. | :27:38. | |
elements, like services, we will look at retail and hospitality and | :27:39. | :27:40. | |
lots of Plenty more on our website | :27:41. | :27:41. | |
at the usual address. Now, though, it's back | :27:42. | :31:01. | |
to Naga and Charlie. Hello, this is Breakfast, | :31:02. | :31:03. | |
with Naga Munchetty and Charlie The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :31:04. | :31:09. | |
is to resume his party's election campaign today with a speech linking | :31:10. | :31:16. | |
British military actions abroad He will say a government has | :31:17. | :31:19. | |
a responsibility to minimise the chance of attacks | :31:20. | :31:23. | |
and ensure that police The Former Labour Home Secretary | :31:24. | :31:25. | |
Charles Clarke disagrees. The core attacks, from 9/11 | :31:26. | :31:33. | |
and beforehand, have come from forces which are about trying | :31:34. | :31:37. | |
to destroy the whole of our society. This is before the Iraq War, | :31:38. | :31:41. | |
before the wars in Syria. And they're about eliminating | :31:42. | :31:44. | |
the ability of young people to go to an event like they did | :31:45. | :31:47. | |
in Manchester Arena, eliminating programmes like this, | :31:48. | :31:49. | |
to create a society under the Caliphate, which really removes | :31:50. | :31:52. | |
all our democracies. Joining us now from our London | :31:53. | :32:02. | |
newsroom is Barry Gardiner, the Shadow Secretary of State | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
for International Trade. Thank you very much for joining us | :32:06. | :32:14. | |
on Breakfast this morning. Good morning to you. We have just been | :32:15. | :32:21. | |
talking to the security Minister. Today is the first day since the | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
appalling attack in Manchester that we have resumed our national | :32:26. | :32:29. | |
campaigning. Can I just express my condolences to the family and my | :32:30. | :32:32. | |
horror at what has happened in my admiration to the people of | :32:33. | :32:36. | |
Manchester in the way that they responded. As we now come back into | :32:37. | :32:42. | |
normal political life, as it were. Well, it is that move, I suppose, | :32:43. | :32:46. | |
into normal political life which we are going to be talking to you about | :32:47. | :32:50. | |
now. We have just been talking to Ben Wallace, the security minister, | :32:51. | :32:55. | |
on the sofa. He was with us 15 minutes or so ago. He has taken a | :32:56. | :32:59. | |
look at the comments Jeremy Corbyn is expected to make today in a | :33:00. | :33:04. | |
speech, taking a look at Britain's foreign policy and we -- the effect | :33:05. | :33:12. | |
that has had, and he describes the comments as inappropriate and | :33:13. | :33:15. | |
crassly timed, albeit the first full day of campaigning in the general | :33:16. | :33:22. | |
election. Your reaction to that? I think when you look at the speech | :33:23. | :33:26. | |
that Jeremy is about to give, it is actually about a dish values. It is | :33:27. | :33:30. | |
precisely about praising the way in which Britain has come together. The | :33:31. | :33:35. | |
people of Manchester, for the extraordinary response that they | :33:36. | :33:37. | |
made to the shocking events of Monday evening, and Jeremy is trying | :33:38. | :33:43. | |
to talk about how we as a society can stop the alienation that some | :33:44. | :33:49. | |
young men are feeling, which is propelling them to radicalisation. I | :33:50. | :33:56. | |
think it is really important that we do look at this. It is absolutely | :33:57. | :34:01. | |
vital, not only that we talk about the way in which we need to see more | :34:02. | :34:06. | |
police available, to ensure that there is the proper community | :34:07. | :34:12. | |
policing going on in our cities, that can pick up where the community | :34:13. | :34:18. | |
is ill at ease, where there are potential spots for radicalisation. | :34:19. | :34:24. | |
Because, actually, it is only by the police communicating and being seen | :34:25. | :34:28. | |
as part of these communities that actually we can get the real | :34:29. | :34:33. | |
intelligence that we need to counter the sort of terrible plots that we | :34:34. | :34:39. | |
have seen this week take shape. What you have just spoken about is how | :34:40. | :34:43. | |
police and security services are garnering information, and how that | :34:44. | :34:47. | |
is used. What Jeremy Corbyn is also going to talk about in his speech | :34:48. | :34:51. | |
today is that, if the UK hadn't been involved in strikes against Islamic | :34:52. | :34:56. | |
State, or foreign wars, then attacks in the UK like one we saw in | :34:57. | :35:00. | |
Manchester wouldn't take place. Your view on that? Look, this is not | :35:01. | :35:06. | |
simply stick in that way, and Jeremy is certainly not making any such | :35:07. | :35:10. | |
simplistic point. Charles Clarke was entirely right when he said of | :35:11. | :35:19. | |
course Daesh, Isis, all of these organisations predate those | :35:20. | :35:24. | |
interventions. But of course, to say that is not to say that those people | :35:25. | :35:30. | |
who do feel alienated in our own society, who are subject to | :35:31. | :35:34. | |
radicalisation, do not find a cause for them, an excuse, to become the | :35:35. | :35:42. | |
potential bombers that we have seen, to take their own course into | :35:43. | :35:49. | |
devastating terrorist action. They do see this as intrinsically linked. | :35:50. | :35:55. | |
We may say, well, actually, the masterminds of this predate that, | :35:56. | :36:02. | |
but the fact is, those who are being radicalised to see this as a cause, | :36:03. | :36:07. | |
and to ignore that would be very foolish. It is we remember what | :36:08. | :36:11. | |
happened in Libya when Britain and France went in on a bombing so | :36:12. | :36:20. | |
German, at that point there was a humanitarian reason for doing that, | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
but there was no aftermath, there was no care of how that country | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
would develop further. And of course, what we see today in Libya, | :36:30. | :36:37. | |
and remember, Libya is the country that the bomber and his Summer Rae | :36:38. | :36:46. | |
was most closely linked with, if you are going to have a military | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
intervention you need to have not just a clear exit Chatterji for your | :36:50. | :36:54. | |
own military. What you have to do is you have to have a programme to | :36:55. | :36:57. | |
stabilise that country after the military conflict, to be able to | :36:58. | :37:01. | |
restore some semblance of governance there. So that actually terrorism, | :37:02. | :37:07. | |
and terrorist cells like Daesh, do not thrive. I would like to get in | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
one more question. Time is as always against us. Jeremy Corbyn has made | :37:13. | :37:18. | |
clear that he would end strikes against Islamic State. Do you think | :37:19. | :37:23. | |
that would leave us as safe or as unsafe, as the implication is, if | :37:24. | :37:27. | |
that happened? If we were to end fighting back against Islamic State? | :37:28. | :37:32. | |
Look, I think it is very foolish to think that we can bomb Daesh in | :37:33. | :37:39. | |
Syria and bring a successful, sustainable, peaceful resolution to | :37:40. | :37:45. | |
this conflict. What we need, and I think what Jeremy is absolutely | :37:46. | :37:49. | |
clear on, is we need a resumption of the Astana and Geneva process. We | :37:50. | :38:00. | |
need to give all the players except Daesh, except Isis, around the | :38:01. | :38:03. | |
table, to make sure that Russia, that Turkey, that Bashar al-Assad 's | :38:04. | :38:12. | |
regime, is represented, to make sure that America and the UK are there, | :38:13. | :38:19. | |
so that all the key players are thinking about how we stabilise a | :38:20. | :38:22. | |
country that has been incomplete turmoil. That is the way of starving | :38:23. | :38:30. | |
Isis, Daesh, of the oxygen that it has in the chaos. And of course, the | :38:31. | :38:35. | |
other thing we must do is we must ensure that the funding that is | :38:36. | :38:38. | |
still leaking through to these organisations is cut off. Thank you | :38:39. | :38:44. | |
very much for talking to us on BBC Breakfast. Jeremy Corbyn will be | :38:45. | :38:50. | |
talking to Andrew Neill tonight as part of a special series of | :38:51. | :38:54. | |
interviews. Another man has been arrested | :38:55. | :38:56. | |
as part of the investigation He was detained in the early | :38:57. | :38:58. | |
hours of this morning. A property has also been searched | :38:59. | :39:02. | |
in the St Helens area of Merseyside. Eight people are currently | :39:03. | :39:06. | |
being held by police. A man and a woman who were | :39:07. | :39:08. | |
previously questioned have been Theresa May is to urge the leaders | :39:09. | :39:11. | |
of the world's most developed nations to do more to | :39:12. | :39:18. | |
tackle extremism online. It is the first time | :39:19. | :39:20. | |
President Donald Trump is attending the event, which is | :39:21. | :39:23. | |
taking place in Sicily. The leaders of the G7 nations | :39:24. | :39:25. | |
are expected to discuss a range of issues, including global | :39:26. | :39:28. | |
security, trade and climate change. A leading economic think tank has | :39:29. | :39:34. | |
suggested schools could be worse off financially under a Conservative | :39:35. | :39:37. | |
government, despite a pledge The Institute for Fiscal Studies | :39:38. | :39:39. | |
says the party's plans would result in a 3% cut to school | :39:40. | :39:44. | |
budgets in real terms. It says that Labour would | :39:45. | :39:46. | |
increase spending slightly, and the Liberal Democrats | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
would maintain the status quo. In response, the Conservatives said | :39:50. | :39:51. | |
at least their proposals Coming up on the programme, | :39:52. | :39:54. | |
Matt will have the bank holiday I went swimming in Weston-Super-Mare | :39:55. | :40:18. | |
a few years ago. The tide does go out a long way. You are going to | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
talk about events going on this weekend. What is happening in the | :40:23. | :40:30. | |
sport. The weather is set fair for the Great city Games, in Manchester, | :40:31. | :40:36. | |
and in Albert Square, where we had that vigil, tonight there will be | :40:37. | :40:39. | |
thousands gathering to watch the long jump in the sandpit which will | :40:40. | :40:42. | |
be established in Albert Square. Naturally, it will be | :40:43. | :40:43. | |
an emotional occasion, following the events of Monday | :40:44. | :40:45. | |
night, when tens of thousands of people gather to watch | :40:46. | :40:48. | |
the Great City Games on this special athletics track, running | :40:49. | :40:51. | |
through the city centre. A host of international | :40:52. | :40:53. | |
athletes are competing and showing their support, though, | :40:54. | :40:55. | |
including 2012 Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford | :40:56. | :40:58. | |
and the two-time Paralympic These events are the | :40:59. | :41:00. | |
ones that we need. We need to show that it | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
doesn't stop us, you know, and I think that's what we do | :41:06. | :41:08. | |
well in this country. And what we do a great job | :41:09. | :41:11. | |
of is that we will stand up, we will go to our jobs, | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
we will turn up to events, and we will show our | :41:16. | :41:18. | |
support together. They keep getting the exact opposite | :41:19. | :41:20. | |
response to probably what everyone wants, but it's amazing | :41:21. | :41:25. | |
to see, and I love it. And you can watch the Great city | :41:26. | :41:39. | |
Games on BBC tonight from 7:30pm and our very own Louise will be part of | :41:40. | :41:45. | |
the coverage of the Great Manchester Run. | :41:46. | :41:46. | |
Hull City are the latest football club to lose their manager, | :41:47. | :41:49. | |
after Marco Silva announced he was leaving. | :41:50. | :41:51. | |
Silva had been in charge for just over four months, | :41:52. | :41:53. | |
and had become a favourite with the fans. | :41:54. | :41:56. | |
He led Hull to six wins from his 18 Premier League games, | :41:57. | :41:59. | |
but couldn't save them from relegation. | :42:00. | :42:00. | |
In recent days, he has been linked with Watford and Crystal Palace. | :42:01. | :42:12. | |
England head coach Gareth Southgate has left captain Wayne Rooney out | :42:13. | :42:15. | |
of his squad for the matches against Scotland and France next month. | :42:16. | :42:18. | |
At club level, Rooney says he has more or less decided | :42:19. | :42:21. | |
on his Manchester United future, but won't reveal | :42:22. | :42:23. | |
The first leg of the Scottish Premiership play-off | :42:24. | :42:28. | |
between Dundee United and Hamilton finished goalless at Tannadice. | :42:29. | :42:30. | |
The first significant sporting event since Monday's terrorist attack took | :42:31. | :42:36. | |
There was increased security at the Academy Stadium, | :42:37. | :42:40. | |
as Manchester City hosted Chelsea in the Women's Super League Spring | :42:41. | :42:43. | |
A Toni Duggan goal gave City a 1-0 win, a result which moves them | :42:44. | :42:50. | |
into second place in the table, just a point behind leaders | :42:51. | :42:53. | |
Tonight, Salford are offering fans the chance to come in for free. What | :42:54. | :43:15. | |
time is that? I think it is 730 p.m. Or 735 p.m. Kick off. | :43:16. | :43:22. | |
Doctors say some of those who were seriously injured | :43:23. | :43:24. | |
in Monday's attack on Manchester arena will be allowed to go home | :43:25. | :43:27. | |
32 patients remain in hospital for treatment. | :43:28. | :43:31. | |
Professor Andrew Rowland is a consultant in children's | :43:32. | :43:34. | |
emergency medicine for North Manchester Hospital, | :43:35. | :43:36. | |
and he was one of the first to respond to the attack. | :43:37. | :43:39. | |
Thank you so much for your time. I know it is a very busy time for you. | :43:40. | :43:47. | |
Can you first of all give us a sense of when you heard about what was | :43:48. | :43:51. | |
happening, and what happened in the immediate hours? So we knew that a | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
major incident had been declared. I was at home at the time, as were a | :43:56. | :43:59. | |
number of my colleagues, and once we found out from work that a major | :44:00. | :44:03. | |
incident was in process, we rushed into the hospital to basically start | :44:04. | :44:07. | |
building teams to deal with the patients who we thought were about | :44:08. | :44:11. | |
to arrive. What is the biggest challenge to you while? Is of course | :44:12. | :44:16. | |
it is sheer numbers and injuries, but the types of injuries, as well | :44:17. | :44:25. | |
come and not necessarily perhaps something you have been trained for, | :44:26. | :44:30. | |
but not seen before? I think the fact that it was an incident | :44:31. | :44:33. | |
involving a number of children and young people was a very distressing | :44:34. | :44:36. | |
think a lot of people involved. Without... I can only imagine how | :44:37. | :44:40. | |
raw the emotions are for you and your colleagues, but the people that | :44:41. | :44:44. | |
were coming in, the children that were coming in, they were being | :44:45. | :44:49. | |
treated, is that the normal number of people you would be getting into | :44:50. | :44:53. | |
that hospital, or into that emergency department? So we prepared | :44:54. | :44:56. | |
ourselves for a significant number of casualties to come to the | :44:57. | :45:02. | |
emergency department. What was remarkable was the way in which | :45:03. | :45:06. | |
children, young people and their families conducted themselves with | :45:07. | :45:10. | |
absolute dignity, and it is really humbling to see the way that they | :45:11. | :45:14. | |
supported each other, and the response from the community has been | :45:15. | :45:18. | |
absolutely outstanding. I understand of course talking specifically about | :45:19. | :45:21. | |
injuries, but given what we already know about the nature of this bomb, | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
and the nature of injuries, people have seen the children being | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
treated, what can you tell us about the kind of things you are having to | :45:32. | :45:33. | |
deal with? You have to deal with things you | :45:34. | :45:41. | |
only read about in textbooks. We're talking about blast injuries, high | :45:42. | :45:47. | |
velocity projectiles and that causes injuries to limbs, abdomens, chests. | :45:48. | :45:52. | |
You were treating people immediately after they came in, can you give us | :45:53. | :45:58. | |
a sense... Some people we understand didn't choose to go into hospital | :45:59. | :46:02. | |
because they were worried hospitals might be overrun with patients? The | :46:03. | :46:07. | |
response, as I said, from the public, was amazing. We had people | :46:08. | :46:13. | |
who didn't want to take care away from others and wanted other | :46:14. | :46:17. | |
patients to be the priority and the way they conducted themselves with | :46:18. | :46:20. | |
absolute dignity was outstanding. What have you learned from this, you | :46:21. | :46:26. | |
said watching the public and people who were injured and how they | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
behaved and seeing your colleagues, what have you taken from this? This | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
was an atrocious event and my absolute condolences to the families | :46:38. | :46:41. | |
involved, but the response has shown the very best of humanity and seeing | :46:42. | :46:46. | |
members of the NHS family work together from catering staff, | :46:47. | :46:50. | |
porters, support workers, nurses, doctors, people in the blood lab | :46:51. | :46:55. | |
with families and members of the public has been humbling. People | :46:56. | :46:59. | |
have stepped up in a way... It's more than just going beyond the call | :47:00. | :47:03. | |
of duty so to speak, people have pulled together in terms of | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
humanity. We've heard that from quite a few people. That is my | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
experience and I would say this isn't just the NHS, this is anybody | :47:13. | :47:17. | |
from the emergency services who was involved and particularly the | :47:18. | :47:20. | |
members of the public who I know did what they could to help out in | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
really difficult circumstances. If we can I want to show some of these | :47:25. | :47:30. | |
images, this isn't your hospital, the Queen was visiting Manchester | :47:31. | :47:34. | |
Children's Hospital yesterday, a very special moment obviously in | :47:35. | :47:37. | |
amongst so much grief for so many and so many awful situations. She | :47:38. | :47:42. | |
met some of those young people and I was mindful, as were many, of the | :47:43. | :47:48. | |
smiles. Young people smiling. You have been so close to this. It seems | :47:49. | :47:53. | |
extraordinary that in these situations people somehow dig deep. | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
You must have witnessed that first-hand? I saw children and young | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
people supporting adults and other children and young people and | :48:05. | :48:07. | |
children are usually very resilient, what I would say is it's OK not to | :48:08. | :48:14. | |
be OK and there for people who might feel they need it and there's no | :48:15. | :48:18. | |
shame whatsoever in asking for some help in what is a very very | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
difficult time. We have the head of the ambulance service with us | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
yesterday morning sitting where you are now, and inevitably people are | :48:29. | :48:33. | |
concerned for your welfare. I know people in your profession are always | :48:34. | :48:38. | |
very matter of fact, you do your job, people have concerns about what | :48:39. | :48:41. | |
you and your staff have witnessed and how you cope with things. We've | :48:42. | :48:46. | |
had a lot of support provided to us in the NHS community as well from | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
members of the community, from the public, local voluntary | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
organisations. I think wrapping that support network around people is | :48:56. | :48:58. | |
really important when they're dealing with something like this. | :48:59. | :49:02. | |
Did you have a moment when you got home at the end of that day, I don't | :49:03. | :49:07. | |
know how long your day was, probably never-ending, did you have a moment | :49:08. | :49:12. | |
like that yourself? I got home and I was exhausted, as my colleagues | :49:13. | :49:16. | |
would have been, got some sleep and we had to get up the next day and go | :49:17. | :49:21. | |
back to work. Back today? Straight after this, I'm going to work, yes. | :49:22. | :49:26. | |
We wish you well and thank you to your team and colleagues for the | :49:27. | :49:30. | |
hard work they have put in and the compassion they have shown. Thank | :49:31. | :49:31. | |
you. Everyone is saying it will be a | :49:32. | :49:40. | |
fantastic weekend, you only have to look out your window this morning to | :49:41. | :49:43. | |
see the weather is looking wonderful. | :49:44. | :49:44. | |
Matt's on the beach for us this morning in Weston-Super-Mare. | :49:45. | :49:46. | |
I certainly am. Good morning. In amongst some amazing displays of | :49:47. | :49:58. | |
sculptures. Sandcastle sculptures. The TV tubby behind me took nine | :49:59. | :50:04. | |
days, this one here around for days, they will hold up well to the | :50:05. | :50:08. | |
weather, they will be here until the end of September but no problems | :50:09. | :50:11. | |
with the weather this morning as we look out across the Bristol Channel. | :50:12. | :50:17. | |
It is looking sunny. Devon in the distance. It is hot and sunny here | :50:18. | :50:25. | |
and across much of the UK. It will be another scorcher of a day. For | :50:26. | :50:30. | |
some it will be even warmer than yesterday. In southern and eastern | :50:31. | :50:34. | |
parts, more of a breeze and that will limit temperatures on the coast | :50:35. | :50:38. | |
to around 20 but elsewhere under blue skies from dawn to dusk, | :50:39. | :50:43. | |
temperatures to the mid and high twenties. North coast of Wales and | :50:44. | :50:47. | |
north-west England could hit 20 and in northern Scotland we could hit | :50:48. | :50:52. | |
30, if we beat 30.9 it will be the hottest day in Scotland in May on | :50:53. | :50:57. | |
record. If the heat is too much to you, tempted to jump in the C? | :50:58. | :51:03. | |
Warning, still pretty cold, 11-13 in the sea at the moment. The son is | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
pretty strong at the moment, that could set of storms later in the day | :51:08. | :51:11. | |
in Northern Scotland and Northern Ireland but tonight it is really in | :51:12. | :51:15. | |
parts of Wales and south-west England that we see thunderstorms | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
moving in, heralding a bit of gradual change through the weekend | :51:19. | :51:22. | |
but still tonight a humid night across the country, temperatures not | :51:23. | :51:25. | |
dropping much below the mid-teens for many, which takes us to a sticky | :51:26. | :51:30. | |
and humid start for the weekend. Crossing Scotland and a good part of | :51:31. | :51:34. | |
eastern England, starting with sunshine and low cloud here and | :51:35. | :51:37. | |
there but morning storms in Wales and south-west England spreading | :51:38. | :51:41. | |
northwards through the morning and early afternoon. Hit and miss across | :51:42. | :51:44. | |
the south but where you have them there could be torrential giving | :51:45. | :51:47. | |
minor flooding. Northern Ireland will seem minor spells of heavy rain | :51:48. | :51:53. | |
and thunderstorms in the afternoon. Temperatures in the north of | :51:54. | :51:56. | |
Scotland hitting 28 before this and humid in the south-east. Elsewhere | :51:57. | :52:02. | |
turning cooler. Cooler as we go into Sunday, overnight rain in Northern | :52:03. | :52:05. | |
Scotland clearing quickly but in the south-east corner late in the day we | :52:06. | :52:10. | |
see thunderstorms moving back in, 25 here and fresher elsewhere. Most | :52:11. | :52:14. | |
places will be dry with the odd scattered showers in the west. And | :52:15. | :52:20. | |
then after a cooler day on Sunday, cooler into bank holiday Monday. | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
Sunday and Monday will be dry for most but on Sunday the risk of a few | :52:25. | :52:29. | |
thunderstorms in the south-east. We could see temperatures still around | :52:30. | :52:34. | |
22 but further north and west you're talking mid-to-high teens. That's | :52:35. | :52:37. | |
the weather. Lots of gorgeous sculptures here, what about my | :52:38. | :52:42. | |
little effort? I think I've got a future in sand sculpture, don't you? | :52:43. | :52:45. | |
I'm just amazed that he is in shorts. Can we move slightly to the | :52:46. | :52:53. | |
left so we'd see this legs? That is what I was distracted by! Nothing to | :52:54. | :52:57. | |
see here! Thanks, Matt! This morning Steph is out | :52:58. | :53:00. | |
in the West Midlands She's taking a look at the economy, | :53:01. | :53:02. | |
which grew less than previously thought at the beginning | :53:03. | :53:07. | |
of the year. She is at a construction site this | :53:08. | :53:17. | |
morning. Good morning. Good morning and good morning, everyone. Glorious | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
morning here in commentary and as you say I'm on a construction site | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
because it plays an important part in our economy -- in Coventry. | :53:26. | :53:30. | |
Growth not as high as we thought at the beginning of this year but this | :53:31. | :53:34. | |
is a sector that's doing particularly well at the moment. | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
Genome is one of the bosses here. Tell us about the site -- Geno. A | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
former commercial site has been acquired here and in partnership | :53:44. | :53:48. | |
with Midland Heart and Coventry City Council we are developing 84 | :53:49. | :53:53. | |
affordable homes, affordable rent and shared ownership. What does a | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
affordable mean? 80% of what the local market rent is. 20% less than | :53:58. | :54:03. | |
others? Yes. Where are you seeing growth coming from? Although the | :54:04. | :54:07. | |
building industry are building more homes for the last decade there is | :54:08. | :54:10. | |
still the man for affordable housing, whether that be for rent or | :54:11. | :54:16. | |
low-cost homeownership products. As the economy goes, if the economy is | :54:17. | :54:20. | |
booming and there's high employment, that leads to higher house prices, | :54:21. | :54:24. | |
more need for low-cost homeownership and if the economy goes down, more | :54:25. | :54:30. | |
unemployment so more rent situations. Thanks very much. It's | :54:31. | :54:34. | |
not just about construction, the economy is made up of lots of | :54:35. | :54:38. | |
different elements, one part is services, making up 80% of the | :54:39. | :54:42. | |
economy and we have a couple of guests here, Tom and Rosie. How is | :54:43. | :54:46. | |
the service sector doing, that's where we are seeing it struggle? | :54:47. | :54:51. | |
That's right, the service sector is an important part of the UK economy. | :54:52. | :54:56. | |
This week we had figures on the health of the economy and what we're | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
seeing is it has slowed down a bit in the first three months of the | :55:01. | :55:04. | |
year compared with the back end of last year. After the referendum in | :55:05. | :55:07. | |
the middle of last year everyone expected the economy to slow down | :55:08. | :55:10. | |
and it didn't, it was remarkably resilient. In the last three months | :55:11. | :55:15. | |
at the start of this year we've seen a slowdown and it's been noticeable | :55:16. | :55:19. | |
in the service sector. A big part of that is retail and Rosie, you have a | :55:20. | :55:24. | |
retail business in Birmingham. How is business? It is going well, we | :55:25. | :55:29. | |
sell French macaroons and we are based in the business district and | :55:30. | :55:36. | |
we have a high repeat customer base and at the beginning of the year you | :55:37. | :55:40. | |
could see there was hesitation and also in the rest of our business we | :55:41. | :55:45. | |
supply to businesses, and there's a marked difference so there's a lot | :55:46. | :55:52. | |
of money and are spending. We see in our business, the ingredients cost | :55:53. | :55:56. | |
is rising constantly and we are having to fight against that and | :55:57. | :55:59. | |
push our suppliers were possible. You are having to put up prices as a | :56:00. | :56:04. | |
result? We feel like we can't because we don't want to dampen our | :56:05. | :56:09. | |
sales in that way so we are having to absorb the cost and renegotiate | :56:10. | :56:13. | |
with suppliers were possible. Tom, that pressure is all about the | :56:14. | :56:18. | |
currency markets? Absolutely. What we saw since the referendum was a | :56:19. | :56:22. | |
substantial fall in the value of the pound and that increases the cost of | :56:23. | :56:27. | |
imports so that is bad news for companies that are importing | :56:28. | :56:31. | |
materials and raw materials. It's also bad news for consumers because | :56:32. | :56:36. | |
their incomes aren't growing as fast as prices so effectively it's a pay | :56:37. | :56:41. | |
cut for average households. It puts pressure on disposable income | :56:42. | :56:45. | |
certainly. Any opposite out there, construction is doing well, anywhere | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
else doing well? Is not bad news at all, it is a mixed bag, we saw in | :56:52. | :56:56. | |
the figures this week that business investment was pretty strong and as | :56:57. | :56:59. | |
you say, construction was pretty good and the weak pound is good news | :57:00. | :57:04. | |
for exporters. If you're earning your profits overseas or exporting | :57:05. | :57:08. | |
then a weak pound is good news. Thanks for your time this morning, I | :57:09. | :57:12. | |
will be here through the morning with macaroons and lots of other | :57:13. | :57:13. | |
food but Plenty more on our website | :57:14. | :00:32. | |
at the usual address. Hello, this is Breakfast, with | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. Jeremy Corbyn says terrorist attacks | :00:35. | :00:40. | |
at home can be linked to British military action, | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
as he calls for a change Just days after the Manchester | :00:44. | :00:45. | |
attack, the Labour leader will say the war on terror | :00:46. | :00:53. | |
is simply not working. But, as the terror threat remains | :00:54. | :00:56. | |
critical, the Security Minister criticises | :00:57. | :01:05. | |
the Labour leader's remarks. I think Jeremy Corbyn's comment are | :01:06. | :01:12. | |
inappropriate and crassly timed. Meanwhile, in the bomb | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
attack investigation, police make another arrest | :01:21. | :01:21. | |
overnight, and carry out searches This morning, we'll take a look | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
at the extra measures being put in place at events | :01:24. | :01:37. | |
across the Bank Holiday weekend, as the security services take | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
the unprecedented step of putting Theresa May tells leaders of the G7 | :01:41. | :01:42. | |
countries that the fight against so-called Islamic State | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
is moving from the battlefield to the internet, and urges them | :01:49. | :01:50. | |
to work more closely together. Our economy is not growing as fast | :01:51. | :02:02. | |
as we thought it was so I have bought the X first Butty Van to a | :02:03. | :02:11. | |
construction site in commentary to find out why. | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Relegated from the Premier League, and now they've lost | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
their highly-regarded manager Marco Silva. | :02:19. | :02:19. | |
And we're with Sir Ben Ainslie as he sets out to make sporting | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
history by leading Britain to glory in the America's Cup, | :02:23. | :02:25. | |
Glorious there, is it going to be glorious here for the bank holiday | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
weekend? Matt can tell you. If you are | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
building sand castles or something a bit grander today, it will be hot | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
and sunny, you will need your sunglasses and suncream, but with | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
storms in the forecast this weekend, will you still need them? The full | :02:46. | :02:47. | |
forecast in 15 minutes today. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
is to resume his party's election campaign today with a speech linking | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
British military actions abroad He will say a Government has | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
a responsibility to minimise the chance of attacks, | :03:01. | :03:04. | |
and ensure that police We'll have the latest | :03:05. | :03:06. | |
on the investigation into the Manchester attack | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
in a moment, but first our political correspondent | :03:10. | :03:25. | |
Eleanor Garnier is in Westminster. We have seen some of these comments | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
already and there is some criticism coming through? | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
Yes, there is some backlash not just from his opponents but from some | :03:37. | :03:39. | |
within his own party as well, and the Labour Leader's team are aware, | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
I think, that by stating our safety at home is worsened by wars abroad, | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
they are going to be courting controversy and we have already had | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
criticism from former Labour Home Secretary Charles Clarke who simply | :03:54. | :03:59. | |
says Jeremy Corbyn is simply wrong. But a Shadow Cabinet minister, Barry | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
Gardiner, has said this morning that there is no simple causal | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
relationship between the terror threat in the UK and the country's | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
foreign policy. He did, though, say that the country needs to reassess | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
the way in which there could be links. | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
Jeremy is trying to talk about how we as a society can stop the | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
alienation that some young men are feeling, which is propelling them | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
into radicalisation. I think it is really important we do look at this, | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
I think it is absolutely vital. Jeremy Corbyn will go on to say that | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
when it comes to protecting the country and caring for patients, the | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
NHS and policing, he says that we cannot look after people and protect | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
people by policing on the cheap and caring on the cheap. But, for the | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Conservatives, and minister this morning has said Jeremy Corbyn's | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
comments are badly timed. Aluna, thank you very much. | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
Another man has been arrested as part of the investigation | :05:06. | :05:07. | |
He was detained in the early hours of this morning. | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
A property has been searched in the St Helens area of Merseyside. | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
The 22nd victim of the attack has been named as 15-year-old Megan | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
Hurley from Merseyside. Our home affairs correspondent | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
Daniel Sandford joins us now. The process of naming people still | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
carries on. Megan Hurley the most recent to be named but alongside | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
that we have of course an ongoing investigation, an announcement about | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
what happened overnight. Yes, still moving incredibly fast, | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
there was such instant talent in Merseyside, an arrest in Moss side, | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
more searches going on at properties in Moss side at the moment and | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
ongoing searches at other properties that have been raided in the last | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
few days. We have had one man and one woman released of the ten | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
arrested, so eight people in custody at the moment being questioned by | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
police. We have a clearer idea of what might have happened on Monday, | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
it looks as if police have found in the flat in central Manchester a | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
certain amount of bomb-making material. There is a very, very big | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
ongoing concern that there seems to be quite a lot of that material | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
still missing, the big concern is there could potentially be other | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
devices out there and that is why we are in a situation where still, more | :06:30. | :06:34. | |
than two days after the threat level was raised to critical, so an attack | :06:35. | :06:38. | |
is assessed as possibly imminent, the threat level remains at | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
critical, a lot of bogeys at the moment on where are these missing | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
bomb-making chemicals or parts? That is the situation in the | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
north-west, of course there is a UK wide and international dimension to | :06:53. | :06:59. | |
this, inquiries in Libya and the sharing of information crucial in | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
this. We know there was that problem with Manchester police saying they | :07:05. | :07:06. | |
were no longer going to share information, that appears to have | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
resolved initially? Incredibly strong words from the | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
police overnight on Wednesday night on how disappointed they were that | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
information they had shared with the Americans found its way into the New | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
York Times. Through the day they were -- there were high-level | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
discussions, Theresa May brought it up with Donald Trump, and yesterday | :07:28. | :07:32. | |
evening word that information sharing had resumed so we are now | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
sharing a game with the Americans everything that is discovered in | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
this investigation, because reassurances had been received from | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
talking to people involved in that decision it seems that they have had | :07:44. | :07:48. | |
very strong reassurances. The Americans have leaked stuff in the | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
past but hopefully that is all over. Daniel, for the moment, thank you. | :07:53. | :07:55. | |
Armed police have begun patrolling national rail services | :07:56. | :07:57. | |
It's the first time that firearms officers have been deployed | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
on Britain's railways, although there have been | :08:02. | :08:02. | |
patrols on the London Underground since December. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
The terror threat remains at critical, meaning security | :08:07. | :08:08. | |
services believe another attack could be imminent. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Theresa May is to urge the leaders of the world's most | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
developed nations to do more to tackle extremism online. | :08:17. | :08:18. | |
In a speech at the G7 summit in Sicily, the Prime Minister | :08:19. | :08:22. | |
will say technology companies should do more to remove harmful material. | :08:23. | :08:25. | |
Our correspondent James Reynolds is there this morning. | :08:26. | :08:32. | |
It has been an interesting summit so far, so many other stories coming | :08:33. | :08:39. | |
through. Theresa May not attending the whole summit this time? | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
No, she is only going to be spending the first day here, the second day | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
she is ditching, she said she wants to get back to Britain to focus on | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
the aftermath of the Manchester attack and her intervention today is | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
with that in mind, she wants tougher regulation of the Internet and | :08:57. | :08:59. | |
social media companies in particular. She wants them to block | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
threatening behaviour and also, crucially from her point of view, to | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
report threatening behaviour will stop in order to get an agreement, | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
she would have to get Donald Trump, the US president, to say yes, but | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
Internet regulation does not work like that, you would have to get | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
companies involved as well. This might be the beginning of a process | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
for her but not the end. Other topics they will talk about here, | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
migration, bear in mind thousands of migrants over the last four years | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
have made it clear to Sicily, the leaders might have do work out a | :09:32. | :09:34. | |
solution to that. They will talk about climate change, the European | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
leaders want Donald Trump to keep sticking to the Paris climate change | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
deal of 2015, he has said in the past climate change is a hoax. We | :09:44. | :09:47. | |
will be watching to see how they behave, do they get along with each | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
other? It is the first summit for four of the leaders. Yesterday in | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
Brussels there was a moment when Donald Trump appeared to barge is | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
way past month and 's Prime Minister to get to the brunt of the | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
photograph, with only seven leaders present today they will make sure | :10:05. | :10:05. | |
there is enough space for everyone. | :10:06. | :10:18. | |
It is interesting, I have been thinking about the handshakes as | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
well between Emmanuel Macron and Mr Trump, how has that been reacted to? | :10:22. | :10:25. | |
Social media is devouring this! When the picture went I thought we | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
would keep James, but we have lost the sound as well. But there are | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
lots of pictures on social media looking at Donald Trump's physical | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
presence and relationship with the others has been reacted to. | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
The parents of a seriously ill nine-month-old boy, | :10:42. | :10:44. | |
who doctors say should be allowed to die, say they intend to take | :10:45. | :10:47. | |
The Court of Appeal ruled against Chris Gard and Connie Yates, | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
who had wanted to take their son Charlie for treatment | :10:52. | :10:53. | |
Judges upheld an earlier ruling which accepted | :10:54. | :11:00. | |
the therapy was experimental, and wouldn't help. | :11:01. | :11:03. | |
Scientists say new observations of the planet Jupiter have | :11:04. | :11:11. | |
They have been studying detailed photographs sent back to earth | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
Researchers say they have been amazed by the storms | :11:17. | :11:19. | |
Dozens of hurricanes, each the size of Earth, | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
Those are the main stories this morning. We will have all the | :11:23. | :11:33. | |
weather details from Matt coming up, it is supposed to be a lovely | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
weekend. And the sport, of course, with Mike coming up. And we are | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
combining those things in a way in our next feature. | :11:41. | :11:47. | |
Of course we are very mindful that the terror threat has been raised to | :11:48. | :11:50. | |
its maximum level after the Manchester attack on Monday. | :11:51. | :11:59. | |
Security will be heightened at several large events taking place | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
Events including Radio One's Big Weekend in Hull, | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
the FA Cup final at Wembley, the Scottish Cup Final in Glasgow | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
and the Rock 'n' Roll Marathon in Liverpool are all taking place | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
In particular, many will be focused on the Great Manchester Run | :12:11. | :12:21. | |
on Sunday with some 30,000 runners taking part. | :12:22. | :12:23. | |
Two of those taking part will be Dawn Nesbit and Azeem Amir, | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
and joining us from St Ann's Square in Manchester is one | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Thank you all for joining us this morning. Dawn, let's start with you. | :12:29. | :12:35. | |
I presume you have had this in the diary, the training plan has been in | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
place and you have been working very hard. Then Monday night happened and | :12:40. | :12:48. | |
fear, anger, caution, and events since have obviously played into | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
your thinking ahead of the run. What has made you decide to still | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
participate in the race? I am a mother of two, I have a daughter of | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
15 and one of the first things she asked me after the events was, are | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
you going to stop me doing what I normally do? And I said, no, I'm | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
going to run the race because this is my life and I'm going to live it | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
my way, I don't want somebody else to implement what I'm doing and | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
managed that by fear, so if I am doing the run, you | :13:17. | :13:33. | |
carry on doing what you feel safe to do. So I'm going to carry on doing | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
exactly what I plan to do exactly the way I do it. I will feel extra | :13:37. | :13:39. | |
proud running through the streets of Manchester on Sunday. Azeer, you are | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
a blind runner, tell us about your heightened emotions after what has | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
happened? On Monday night, the events going on in Manchester, | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
noting that there were people from my college in the event, that was | :13:52. | :13:58. | |
the scariest part of it all, on the Tuesday everybody was cautious and | :13:59. | :14:01. | |
the whole mood in college was sombre. I think that just showed how | :14:02. | :14:08. | |
it affected everyone. But I think on Sunday we go to show people that we | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
are not only going to use it as a motivation, it will be in the back | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
of everyone's mind, we will prove to people that we will not give in to | :14:20. | :14:22. | |
these individuals. So many people will be feeling exactly like you | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
both, and lots of people very cautious, understandably as well. | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
David Hart has been involved in the organisation of the run, how has | :14:33. | :14:38. | |
your planning changed, what feedback have you been getting since security | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
has tightened across the country? Burst of all of course our thoughts | :14:46. | :14:48. | |
were with everyone affected in the awful incident. The reaction to | :14:49. | :14:55. | |
staging the event, which was not actually made by us, Greater | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
Manchester Police and Manchester City Council by the people who | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
decided we could go ahead, but as soon as we got the green light, we | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
were in planning mode and the reaction to the staging of the event | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
has been absolutely overwhelming. And what extra precautions have you | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
been told or advised to put in place? Well, there will of course be | :15:14. | :15:20. | |
heightened police presence on the day and then we are communicating to | :15:21. | :15:25. | |
all participants and spectators of the extra measures that will be in | :15:26. | :15:28. | |
place. Things have changed, of course, the tone of the event will | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
be different to what it would have been on a traditional Great | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
Manchester Run day, but we will deliver a world-class event and the | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
resolve and spirit of the people of Manchester has been really | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
overwhelming. Azeem, that is the point you were making, that it is | :15:45. | :15:52. | |
and will remain to be, and we are seeing some images from last year's | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
brunt as we are talking, it is a chance to celebrate the challenge, | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
the achievement, but also in your heads, as you said before, you will | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
be mindful of what other people have been through? Most definitely, the | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
thing about Manchester is anything like this that comes about, | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
everybody comes together, no matter what part of the city they are from, | :16:12. | :16:18. | |
and our city is the best city in the UK and on race day if everybody can | :16:19. | :16:24. | |
come out and show that, we are bigger and better than these people. | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
Dawn, have you done a run like this before? I have never done Tanguay | :16:31. | :16:37. | |
before, my furthest was seven... So you have a challenge on your hand! | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
It is true to say that friendships forged on days like this because you | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
go through something, even in ordinary circumstances but | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
particularly in these circumstances, it brings people together? It | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
totally does, my friend is running with me on Sunday, she is very | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
speedy but we run together because we just chat the whole way round, so | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
it is not only the pleasure of running but spending time with your | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
friends. You Slobodan! Chatting is far more important than | :17:07. | :17:07. | |
the run. You mentioned your daughters. As | :17:08. | :17:21. | |
much as you will not want to, though more cautious RU or she is in light | :17:22. | :17:29. | |
of what happened? It was a total shock for children as it was to | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
parents and adults as well that these things could happen. It was | :17:33. | :17:39. | |
about talking to her about getting help and talking to people. The | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
school has been great. Talking about being more mindful of your | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
surroundings, seeing what is going on, knowing what to do if you have | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
concerns, but to carry on as you were and to live your life. David, | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
we are familiar with the scene just behind you and you have probably had | :18:00. | :18:04. | |
a moment or two today to take that in and it is a remarkable scene. So | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
many flowers, children's toys. That will sadly be the backdrop to | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
everything that happens over the next few days. Absolutely. There is | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
a sea of emotion behind me and the start line and the finish line, the | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
whole event on Sunday, will be a sea of emotion. Thank you very much. | :18:27. | :18:32. | |
Good luck for the weekend. I hope it all goes well. Try not to slow your | :18:33. | :18:37. | |
Thank you for joining us this morning. | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
You're watching Breakfast from BBC News. | :18:41. | :18:42. | |
The Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is expected to link British foreign | :18:43. | :18:47. | |
policy with terrorist attacks in the UK. | :18:48. | :18:49. | |
In a speech he'll say the government has a responsibility to minimise | :18:50. | :18:52. | |
Police investigating the Manchester bomb attack are searching a house in | :18:53. | :19:04. | |
Merseyside. Another man was arrested overnight, taking the total number | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
We have been talking about the big sporting events, but I am not sure | :19:09. | :19:21. | |
all the runners will enjoy the heat. It is going to be very warm. | :19:22. | :19:26. | |
Somebody enjoying the temperatures, maybe we will interrupt his | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
handiwork at the moment. Can we bother you? | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
Is that all right? Go on. We are at the Weston-Super-Mare sand sculpture | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
Festival. I am doing a little bit of repair work. These are amazing | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
sculptures and they have to withstand the weather all the way up | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
to the end of September. There is a little coating of protein on them | :19:52. | :19:52. | |
which stops the worst of the rain. No problems with the rain at the | :19:53. | :20:04. | |
moment. As you can see there are clear blue skies all the way to the | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
coast of Devon. Let's take a look at the forecast for the rest of the UK. | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
Little change from yesterday, if anything it will be hotter. Hot and | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
sunny across most of the UK. There will be some low cloud in Shetland | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
and there will be a bit more of a breeze in southern and eastern parts | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
of England. That will make it a touch cooler on those coasts. Inland | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
the sunshine will be strong with very high UV levels. The | :20:37. | :20:39. | |
temperatures will soar quite widely into the mid-20s. South-west | :20:40. | :20:45. | |
England, North Wales, north-west England could hit 28 degrees this | :20:46. | :20:53. | |
afternoon. In Inverness and Nairn it could hit 30. It could be Scotland's | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
hottest Mayday on record. But if you fancy something cooler, how about a | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
dip in the sea? You will have to be brave because temperatures are 11 or | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
12. That keeps it cooler on the coasts. Wales and south-west England | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
will see some thunderstorms start to push their way in and they could | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
become torrential in places. For most it will be dry and humid and | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
temperatures not dropping from the mid-teens. Sunniest in Scotland at | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
the weekend, through the morning and early afternoon thunderstorms will | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
spread northwards across England and Wales, torrential in places. But it | :21:36. | :21:42. | |
will not rain everywhere. Wetter for northern Ireland and Scotland, after | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
a sunny morning, thunderstorms will move up in the afternoon and | :21:46. | :21:52. | |
evening. It stays humid in eastern parts of England. Into Sunday we | :21:53. | :22:00. | |
will see overnight rain in northern Scotland clear away. It should be | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
another fine day for many with sunny spells. But the humidity holds on in | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
the South East of England and we could see some severe storms develop | :22:11. | :22:13. | |
later in the afternoon and into the evening. Into bank holiday Monday | :22:14. | :22:21. | |
and some of those storms continue in the south-eastern corner of the | :22:22. | :22:25. | |
country. Some were buoyed them altogether. It will not be a | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
wash-out by any means. But you will notice by the temperatures on Monday | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
compared to what we are seeing today, I 20s and low 30s, we are | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
looking at mid to high teens and possibly low 20s. If it is too hot | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
for you, things will turn cooler. There will still be some sun to | :22:48. | :22:49. | |
enjoy this weekend as well. We are going from one form | :22:50. | :22:58. | |
of construction to another. We've got the official figures | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
on how the economy's Steph has been crunching the numbers | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
in the West Midlands for us. This is a more major construction | :23:08. | :23:15. | |
site. Yes, it certainly is. I am here in Coventry were the guys have | :23:16. | :23:18. | |
been here since six o'clock this morning. They love weather like | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
this. It is good for them to be able to crack on, building these homes. A | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
affordable homes, the definition of affordable is the rent will be 80% | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
of market value. 20% less than what you would pay market value. This | :23:37. | :23:41. | |
business is growing for them. We are seeing growth in the construction | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
area at the moment. It is an area of the economy that is doing well at | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
the moment. But our economy is not growing as fast as we thought it | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
was, growing by 0.2%. They look at everything we do in the UK, all the | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
goods and services that we make and sell. That is growth across the | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
whole of the economy. One area that is suffering its services, that | :24:09. | :24:14. | |
makes up 80% of our economy. A big part of that is consumer spending. | :24:15. | :24:19. | |
Not feeling as confident as we were. Inflation is rising and the costs in | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
shops has been going up and that is putting pressure on people as wages | :24:25. | :24:30. | |
have not gone up so quickly. Gary, you run a training centre for young | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
people coming into this industry. Yes, I am a managing director and we | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
support engineering manufacturing and at the moment it is really | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
buoyant and there is a lot happening in the markets. We have got the | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
emphasis coming back on vocational training, but there are not enough | :24:49. | :24:51. | |
youngsters wanting to come into the sector. More emphasis needs to be | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
done from industry to open the doors to show the magic that happens. When | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
you say many jobs, how many? Currently we have 65 vacancies and | :25:04. | :25:09. | |
they have been there for a while. People do not want to come into the | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
engineering manufacturing sector. It is about getting back into schools | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
from primary level and getting people to come and see the machinery | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
and things that are being made. You got into engineering, why did you | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
decide to do that? I saw it at a career fair and I have always been a | :25:29. | :25:33. | |
hands-on person, so for me it was a perfect mix between the physics and | :25:34. | :25:38. | |
the theoretical side of what you do at school, but also their hands on | :25:39. | :25:41. | |
staff and building things and making stuff and knowing how it works. You | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
are a great role model for women out there. Do you see a real career in | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
this? Do you see job security? We have seen it in the past have | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
downtime is as well. Because there is a skills shortage at the minute | :25:58. | :26:01. | |
in engineering and manufacturing, when you come into this career for | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
young people there is the ability to have a long career and develop as | :26:07. | :26:13. | |
you go on. You have joined the construction industry, that is | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
brilliant, we need to, why did you decide to do it? I am doing and | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
engineering apprenticeship in the industry and I am doing the | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
maintenance side of it. The thing that has driven me is every since I | :26:26. | :26:32. | |
was a young boy I liked stripping things down and building it back | :26:33. | :26:35. | |
together and I have just adapted that. I am very pleased. Thank you | :26:36. | :26:41. | |
very much for your time this morning. Later on I will be talking | :26:42. | :26:43. | |
about the services side. Hello, this is Breakfast, with | :26:44. | :30:10. | |
Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. Let's bring you up to date with the | :30:11. | :30:16. | |
main stories. The Labour leader, Jeremy Corbyn, | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
is to resume his party's election campaign today with a speech linking | :30:21. | :30:23. | |
British military actions abroad He will say a government has | :30:24. | :30:25. | |
a responsibility to minimise the chance of attacks | :30:26. | :30:29. | |
and ensure that police Speaking earlier on Breakfast, | :30:30. | :30:32. | |
the Secretary of State for Security, Ben Wallace, said it wasn't | :30:33. | :30:36. | |
right to politicise are totally inappropriate | :30:37. | :30:38. | |
and crassly timed. Right now, we have police forces | :30:39. | :30:47. | |
and security services scrabbling, Through the night, | :30:48. | :30:49. | |
we have people, 66 people, Now is not the time to decide to use | :30:50. | :30:55. | |
this event to attack foreign-policy decisions | :30:56. | :31:01. | |
they may or may not have made. as part of the investigation | :31:02. | :31:08. | |
into the Manchester bomb attack. He was detained in | :31:09. | :31:11. | |
the early hours of this morning. A property has also been searched | :31:12. | :31:14. | |
in the St Helens area of Merseyside. The 22nd victim of the attack has | :31:15. | :31:29. | |
been named, 15-year-old Megan Hurley from Merseyside. Armed police have | :31:30. | :31:36. | |
begun patrolling national rail services, the first time they have | :31:37. | :31:39. | |
been deployed on British railways, although there have been patrols on | :31:40. | :31:42. | |
the London Underground since December. The terror threat remains | :31:43. | :31:46. | |
as critical, the security services believe another attack could be | :31:47. | :32:00. | |
imminent. Tribute still pouring in in St Anne's Square, people paying | :32:01. | :32:04. | |
their condolences for those killed in the attack at Manchester Arena. | :32:05. | :32:10. | |
Tributes have been flowing in from those who knew victims, who just | :32:11. | :32:15. | |
want to express solidarity with those who lost their lives, and the | :32:16. | :32:19. | |
overwhelming message that we are hearing from people in Manchester is | :32:20. | :32:24. | |
that they will not be cowed by terrorists or these attacks. We will | :32:25. | :32:27. | |
be looking ahead at many of the events happening this weekend, | :32:28. | :32:33. | |
including the Great City Games in Manchester, the Great Manchester | :32:34. | :32:35. | |
Run, and other events across the country. | :32:36. | :32:38. | |
Theresa May is to urge the leaders of the world's most | :32:39. | :32:40. | |
developed nations to do more to tackle extremism online. | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
It's the first time President Donald Trump | :32:45. | :32:45. | |
is attending the event, which is taking place in Sicily. | :32:46. | :32:48. | |
The leaders of the G7 nations are expected to discuss a range | :32:49. | :32:51. | |
of issues including global security, trade and climate change. | :32:52. | :32:59. | |
There is some disruption at Gatwick this morning problems with the | :33:00. | :33:05. | |
automatic baggage system. Airlines say that some flights are leaving | :33:06. | :33:12. | |
without luggage being loaded. This is one of the busiest weekends at | :33:13. | :33:17. | |
the airport. US media is reporting that senior White House adviser | :33:18. | :33:19. | |
Jared Kushner is under scrutiny by the FBI. The inquiry is into Russian | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
interference in last year's election. Reports say that | :33:25. | :33:31. | |
investigators believe Jared Kushner may have significant information | :33:32. | :33:34. | |
relevant to their work, but it does not necessarily mean he is suspected | :33:35. | :33:35. | |
of a crime. This is the astonishing moment | :33:36. | :33:38. | |
a woman tried to stop a thief from stealing her car at a petrol | :33:39. | :33:41. | |
station in the United States. 28-year-old Melissa Smith | :33:42. | :33:44. | |
was filling up her car when a man got in | :33:45. | :33:46. | |
and tried to drive away. The owner then jumped | :33:47. | :33:52. | |
on the bonnet of the vehicle, This is what I did not realise, the | :33:53. | :34:04. | |
car beside the white car was his car, the thief's car, which he jumps | :34:05. | :34:09. | |
in later. But she perseveres, and she gets the thief out, she gets her | :34:10. | :34:14. | |
car, stopped him from getting her vehicle, although he did get away. | :34:15. | :34:16. | |
That is determination! Matt will have the bank holiday | :34:17. | :34:22. | |
weather in a few moments. Also coming up on | :34:23. | :34:29. | |
Breakfast this morning, we'll hear why the economy | :34:30. | :34:30. | |
grew less than estimated for the first three months | :34:31. | :34:32. | |
of this year. Steph will be in the West Midlands | :34:33. | :34:34. | |
taking a look at the numbers. Historian Lucy Worsley will be | :34:35. | :34:37. | |
here to talk about Jane Austen, and the author's brushes | :34:38. | :34:40. | |
with both wealth and poverty. The guitar player from the Spiders | :34:41. | :34:48. | |
of Mars, Mick Ronson! And after nine, we'll hear | :34:49. | :34:54. | |
the incredible story of Mick Ronson, and how he went from working | :34:55. | :34:56. | |
for the council in Hull But first, let's get | :34:57. | :34:59. | |
the sport with Mike. We are talking a lot this morning | :35:00. | :35:13. | |
about the bank holiday weekend, lots of things happening, music, sporting | :35:14. | :35:15. | |
occasion. It is one of the biggest sporting | :35:16. | :35:20. | |
weekends I can remember in the whole year! Lots of them will be paying | :35:21. | :35:24. | |
tribute to the victims of the Manchester attack. We have cup | :35:25. | :35:30. | |
finals, football in England and Scotland, and also the rugby finals. | :35:31. | :35:35. | |
And the Gulf! The Great Manchester Run. | :35:36. | :35:39. | |
I could go on, but I haven't got time! The Manchester City games is a | :35:40. | :35:47. | |
unique event, if you are doing your shopping in the centre of the city, | :35:48. | :35:52. | |
if you look up, an athlete may rush past on these special tracks. Tens | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
of thousands of people will be watching this free event. | :35:59. | :36:00. | |
It will be an emotional occasion, following the events on Monday | :36:01. | :36:03. | |
night, when ten of thousands of people gather to watch | :36:04. | :36:05. | |
the Great City Games, on this special athletics track | :36:06. | :36:07. | |
A host of international athletes are competing | :36:08. | :36:10. | |
including 2012 Olympic long jump champion Greg Rutherford | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
and the two-time Paralympic gold medallist Jonnie Peacock. | :36:17. | :36:23. | |
These events are the ones that we need. | :36:24. | :36:25. | |
We need to show that it doesn't stop us, you know, | :36:26. | :36:27. | |
and I think that's what we do well in this country. | :36:28. | :36:30. | |
And what we do a great job of is that we will stand up, | :36:31. | :36:33. | |
we will go to our jobs, we will turn up to events, | :36:34. | :36:36. | |
and we will show our support together. | :36:37. | :36:38. | |
They keep getting the exact opposite response to probably what | :36:39. | :36:46. | |
everyone wants, but it's amazing to see, and I love it. | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
You can watch the Great City Games on BBC Two tonight from 6pm, | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
and then our very own Louise will be part of the live coverage | :36:53. | :36:55. | |
of the Great Manchester Run, Europe's largest 10K, | :36:56. | :36:58. | |
live on the BBC from lunchtime on Sunday. | :36:59. | :37:04. | |
are the latest football clubs to lose their managers, | :37:05. | :37:07. | |
after Marco Silva and Garry Monk announced they were leaving. | :37:08. | :37:10. | |
Silva had been in charge for just over four months, | :37:11. | :37:12. | |
and had become a favourite with the fans. | :37:13. | :37:14. | |
He led Hull to six wins from his 18 Premier League games, | :37:15. | :37:17. | |
but couldn't save them from relegation. | :37:18. | :37:19. | |
They were brilliant at home under him. | :37:20. | :37:24. | |
In recent days, he's been linked with Watford and Crystal Palace. | :37:25. | :37:27. | |
Monk couldn't agree a new deal with the new Leeds owner | :37:28. | :37:29. | |
A new owner took over on Wednesday, but couldn't agree a deal, | :37:30. | :37:34. | |
and so Leeds are looking for a ninth manager in three years. | :37:35. | :37:38. | |
has left captain Wayne Rooney out of his squad | :37:39. | :37:42. | |
for the matches against Scotland and France next month. | :37:43. | :37:45. | |
At club level, Rooney says he has more or less decided | :37:46. | :37:47. | |
but won't reveal what it is for another two weeks. | :37:48. | :37:54. | |
The first leg of the Scottish Premiership playoff | :37:55. | :37:56. | |
between Dundee United and Hamilton finished goalless at Tannadice. | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
The first significant sporting event, to take place in Manchester, | :38:01. | :38:07. | |
since Monday's terrorist attack, went ahead last night, | :38:08. | :38:11. | |
amid increased security at the Academy Stadium. | :38:12. | :38:15. | |
Manchester City hosted Chelsea in the Women's | :38:16. | :38:16. | |
A Toni Duggan goal gave City a 1-0 win, | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
a result which moves them into second place in the table, | :38:21. | :38:22. | |
just a point behind leaders Liverpool. | :38:23. | :38:28. | |
Now, Formula One championship leader Sebastian Vettel | :38:29. | :38:30. | |
ahead of this weekend's Monaco Grand Prix. | :38:31. | :38:34. | |
Lewis Hamiton was fastest in the first session | :38:35. | :38:37. | |
On his return to the sport for just one race, | :38:38. | :38:41. | |
the 2009 world champion, Jenson Button, was 12th fastest. | :38:42. | :38:43. | |
Button is standing in for Fernando Alonso | :38:44. | :38:44. | |
The Spaniard is driving in the Indianapolis 500. | :38:45. | :38:51. | |
England all-rounder Ben Stokes is a doubt | :38:52. | :38:53. | |
for the second one-day international against South Africa tomorrow. | :38:54. | :38:57. | |
Stokes injured his knee in the victory in the first match | :38:58. | :38:59. | |
of the three-game series earlier this week | :39:00. | :39:01. | |
and had to leave the field for treatment. | :39:02. | :39:03. | |
He was due to have a scan last night | :39:04. | :39:06. | |
which should reveal the extent of the injury. | :39:07. | :39:07. | |
In Super League, St Helens claimed a dramatic late win | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
Behind for much of the game, Saints fought back | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
with this try from Mark Percival, his second of the match, | :39:16. | :39:17. | |
just two minutes from the end, giving them a 22-19 victory. | :39:18. | :39:22. | |
It's a second consecutive win for new Saints coach Justin Holbrook. | :39:23. | :39:31. | |
And tonight Salford play against Catalan Dragons, and they are | :39:32. | :39:36. | |
offering for people to come in free if they give aid and nation to the | :39:37. | :39:39. | |
appeal for the victims of the Manchester attack. And tomorrow I | :39:40. | :39:48. | |
will be at Wembley, reporting on the Ingolstadt final but reporting on | :39:49. | :39:55. | |
the Scottish one as well. Unlike so -- so many people are talking about | :39:56. | :39:58. | |
enjoy the things that you would normally enjoy, but it is also about | :39:59. | :40:04. | |
the practical arrangements around these big events following the | :40:05. | :40:05. | |
Manchester attack on Monday. As the terror threat remains | :40:06. | :40:07. | |
at its maximum level after the Manchester attack | :40:08. | :40:09. | |
on Monday, security will be heightened at several large | :40:10. | :40:11. | |
sporting events taking place around | :40:12. | :40:13. | |
the UK this weekend. There's the Scottish | :40:14. | :40:18. | |
Cup final in Glasgow, the Premiership Rugby | :40:19. | :40:27. | |
final at Twickenham. But all eyes will be | :40:28. | :40:32. | |
on the Great Manchester Run on Sunday with some 30,000 | :40:33. | :40:35. | |
runners taking part. So what are the | :40:36. | :40:36. | |
considerations when police and security give the go-ahead | :40:37. | :40:38. | |
for these events? Joining us now | :40:39. | :40:40. | |
from our London newsroom We were talking to the organiser of | :40:41. | :40:53. | |
the Manchester run, which is taking place on Saturday, and it is not up | :40:54. | :40:56. | |
to those who are running the events as to whether these take place, it | :40:57. | :41:01. | |
is up to the security authorities. Yes, a number of parties will | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
contribute to the security question, if you like, or the solution, as to | :41:06. | :41:11. | |
whether the event will go ahead, is it safe for people to attend or | :41:12. | :41:15. | |
participate, so there are many different stakeholders at play that | :41:16. | :41:19. | |
will contribute to look at the risk issues, can it be protected well | :41:20. | :41:23. | |
enough to ensure the safety of those coming along? And fundamentally, it | :41:24. | :41:37. | |
a -- is it in a good space? How can that assessment be made when the | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
security level is at its height? People inevitably will be cautious, | :41:41. | :41:45. | |
with the threat level raising to the highest, people are going to be | :41:46. | :41:48. | |
concerned, but we have to look at the Silverlight in terms of people | :41:49. | :41:53. | |
also needing to see that as a means to reinforce the fact that we all | :41:54. | :41:57. | |
play a part, and every single one of us, and those going along to the | :41:58. | :42:03. | |
events will be the eyes and ears on the ground, every single one BB-8 | :42:04. | :42:07. | |
surveillance officer, if you like, to report any suspicious activities | :42:08. | :42:13. | |
that they see. I think people going to these events need to constantly | :42:14. | :42:19. | |
remember that we cannot allow these incidents to impinge and inhibit on | :42:20. | :42:23. | |
our lives. They are, thankfully, very rare, even though we are at the | :42:24. | :42:27. | |
most critical levels. But that should also be reassured by the | :42:28. | :42:31. | |
venues and the organisers and the police, contributing together to | :42:32. | :42:36. | |
say, is it safe for people to come? And of course we are seeing soldiers | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
on the streets, outside a major venues, which I imagine we will see | :42:42. | :42:46. | |
more soldiers? We have seen 1500 deployed so far, there is 3000 | :42:47. | :42:52. | |
available, with talking to the security minister earlier - is that | :42:53. | :42:58. | |
to be called upon? Well, they have that reserve in place, so if they | :42:59. | :43:02. | |
need it, they will introduce it, but they will only do that if they feel | :43:03. | :43:07. | |
it is absolutely necessary. But I think, again, you know, members of | :43:08. | :43:12. | |
the public going along to sporting events or participating in events, | :43:13. | :43:16. | |
they need to be reassured by the presence of that military. There are | :43:17. | :43:19. | |
so many different layers of security that will be in place - venue | :43:20. | :43:25. | |
security itself, police, military, there will even be, at some of the | :43:26. | :43:30. | |
really major Evans, a clandestine, covert capability which will likely | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
involve special forces in plain clothes, in amongst the crowd, | :43:35. | :43:38. | |
looking for anything suspicious. Beyond that, for some of these big | :43:39. | :43:43. | |
major sporting events, there is also the private security which will be | :43:44. | :43:46. | |
coming along with some of the guests. I certainly know that there | :43:47. | :43:50. | |
are a number of VIPs attending some of these events which will have | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
enhanced levels of security. There will be so much security, it will be | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
like the 2012 Olympics. And how does all of that impact on the atmosphere | :44:00. | :44:06. | |
of these games? It is the people who go that create the atmosphere, but | :44:07. | :44:10. | |
it is inevitably going to change, there will be a different feeling | :44:11. | :44:15. | |
there. Well, I think there will be, but people have got to take | :44:16. | :44:19. | |
reassurance by it. If people turned up, from another perspective, if you | :44:20. | :44:23. | |
turned up to a major sporting event this weekend and you couldn't see | :44:24. | :44:27. | |
much security, and you couldn't see any police, Aurelio saw them apart | :44:28. | :44:32. | |
from various kilo occasions, I think you would be more worried, wouldn't | :44:33. | :44:42. | |
you? -- or rarely saw them apart from various key locations. Going | :44:43. | :44:48. | |
back to that point about everyone being a surveillance officer, that | :44:49. | :44:51. | |
means you have a nearby police officer or soldier that you can go | :44:52. | :44:55. | |
to if you do see anything suspicious or you want to report something. | :44:56. | :44:59. | |
Will Geddes, thank you for your time this morning. | :45:00. | :45:03. | |
Let's show you some of the images this morning. This is St Ann's | :45:04. | :45:09. | |
Square in the centre of Manchester, you probably familiar by now with | :45:10. | :45:13. | |
this extraordinary scene, so many flowers laid over the last few days | :45:14. | :45:17. | |
and even this morning many people, some passing on their way to work, | :45:18. | :45:21. | |
laying flowers and taking a moment to think. You can see some of the | :45:22. | :45:27. | |
signs and the children's toys. That will be a focal point for many | :45:28. | :45:31. | |
people in Manchester over the next few days coverage of the | :45:32. | :45:37. | |
investigation and more on that, of course, on the BBC News Channel | :45:38. | :45:44. | |
throughout the day today. It is 845. Matt Taylor will keep us up to date | :45:45. | :45:49. | |
with the weather, we will get a recap on what you can expect for the | :45:50. | :46:01. | |
bank holiday weekend. Jane Austen's life was not all ballrooms, it was | :46:02. | :46:03. | |
sometimes a struggle. is turning her private life | :46:04. | :46:10. | |
into the subject of the story. Just a few weeks before the 200th | :46:11. | :46:14. | |
anniversary of her death, historian Lucy Worsley has been | :46:15. | :46:16. | |
taking a look at the novelist's broken engagement and | :46:17. | :46:19. | |
the homes she lived in. August 1806, Jane Austen | :46:20. | :46:21. | |
found herself squeezed alongside her mother, | :46:22. | :46:24. | |
her sister and a lawyer, rushing into Warwickshire | :46:25. | :46:25. | |
in her cousin's carriage. It's like a scene from one | :46:26. | :46:27. | |
of Jane's own stories. She was full of expectation, | :46:28. | :46:30. | |
about to play her part Jane's destination was the ancestral | :46:31. | :46:32. | |
home of the Leigh family. It's a story about money | :46:33. | :46:36. | |
and inheritance and marriage, the very things at the core | :46:37. | :46:46. | |
of Jane's novels. Historian and presenter | :46:47. | :46:53. | |
of the programme Lucy Worsley That is you in the carriage, almost | :46:54. | :47:03. | |
re-enacting a little part of her life. Yes, that was an exciting | :47:04. | :47:07. | |
moment for her because there was the possibility that she would get some | :47:08. | :47:10. | |
cash from the people who lived in that big house, one of them had just | :47:11. | :47:16. | |
died. It didn't happen, there are so many anti-climactic moments like | :47:17. | :47:19. | |
this in Jane Austen's life. Are many. When you look at what she has | :47:20. | :47:23. | |
done for literature and her contribution to the canon, it is | :47:24. | :47:31. | |
remarkable, yet her life, Nunavut was really appreciated during her | :47:32. | :47:33. | |
lifetime and she never got to benefit from that? This is | :47:34. | :47:39. | |
heartbreaking for me. When she died 200 years ago at the age of only 41, | :47:40. | :47:44. | |
pretty young, she was not yet recognised as a brilliant genius, | :47:45. | :47:50. | |
that clearly I think she is. What attracts me to her is the different | :47:51. | :47:54. | |
ways in which you can read her work. On the top level it is romance, boy | :47:55. | :47:59. | |
meets girl, underneath I think the message is Luco rubbish it is that | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
these Georgian women think they had to marry for money. -- look how | :48:05. | :48:10. | |
rubbish it is. She is a feminist? She would not have recognised the | :48:11. | :48:18. | |
word, but other modern feminist IAC that. Didn't she turned down | :48:19. | :48:21. | |
marriage proposals and rally against the idea that she was a woman who | :48:22. | :48:26. | |
needed to be looked... Looked after and their children for men? The | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
Victorians look at her as a nice spinster, left on the shelf, looking | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
after her 33 nieces and nephews. But historians today see a woman | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
struggling against the restrictions of her life. You mentioned this key | :48:44. | :48:49. | |
moment when she accent than offer from the man with a perfectly good | :48:50. | :48:53. | |
mansion and breaks adopt the next morning, I think that is because she | :48:54. | :48:59. | |
had just sold her first book. -- she accepts an offer from a man with a | :49:00. | :49:03. | |
perfectly good mansion and breaks it off the next morning. Her father was | :49:04. | :49:09. | |
a rector. How did you know all these details, these were the houses, the | :49:10. | :49:13. | |
books she read, the desk she started writing out at the age of seven. | :49:14. | :49:18. | |
Where does the detail come from? It is fascinating and builds a picture | :49:19. | :49:23. | |
of who she was and who she was to become. Through research, this is | :49:24. | :49:30. | |
what historians do. We love digging. It was documented what she was | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
reading and her father was teaching her? There is documentary research. | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
On Saturday night you will see a really fantastic excavation which | :49:40. | :49:44. | |
has happened into the site of her father's home which has been | :49:45. | :49:47. | |
demolished, you often see sad looking Jane Austen lovers looking | :49:48. | :49:52. | |
through hedge at a field, recently volunteered that excavated it and we | :49:53. | :49:56. | |
have the fragments of their family life, I think these objects can | :49:57. | :50:02. | |
speak to us. Tell is about the significance of the egg cup. I don't | :50:03. | :50:07. | |
want to ruin the programme, but an egg cup comes up? I love it, Jane | :50:08. | :50:13. | |
Austen might have used it! But what is significant is that it is not | :50:14. | :50:18. | |
fancy. Her life in the countryside involved farming, working in the | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
dairy, helping out. She was not in grand houses at balls the whole | :50:24. | :50:27. | |
time, as you might assume if you had seen feature films of her books. | :50:28. | :50:31. | |
When she went to those grand houses she was an outsider, that is the | :50:32. | :50:35. | |
viewpoint you need to be a brilliant novelist, I think. That is the | :50:36. | :50:45. | |
fields where the house was? Yes. The research being done now will change | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
people's impressions about her origins, I think. Her family and | :50:51. | :50:55. | |
early biographers wanted to make a seem like she was a member of the | :50:56. | :51:00. | |
gentry, simply quite posh, but she was a member of the studio gentry, | :51:01. | :51:04. | |
you aspire to be part of the landed gentry but you have not got any land | :51:05. | :51:12. | |
-- she was a member of the psuedo gentry. Life is slightly a struggle. | :51:13. | :51:18. | |
Looking back at history and historical figures and you have a | :51:19. | :51:21. | |
certain image of them, already you have dispelled some of the myths, | :51:22. | :51:25. | |
feminist, although she would not have recognise the word, a strong | :51:26. | :51:31. | |
woman, an observer of society. Interesting your comments about how | :51:32. | :51:34. | |
she has been put raid by the Bank of England ?10 note, you do not think | :51:35. | :51:42. | |
it is a true representation of her -- interesting about your comments | :51:43. | :51:45. | |
about how she has been portrayed by the Bank of England? There is a | :51:46. | :51:49. | |
delicious irony which she would have enjoyed. While she was alive, nobody | :51:50. | :51:53. | |
cared what she looked like so there are not good visual images of her. | :51:54. | :51:58. | |
After she died and her books began to catch on, this author publicity | :51:59. | :52:02. | |
portrait was produced. Her family said it is very nice but she did not | :52:03. | :52:07. | |
look like that, it is like she has been prettified. It is hard to see | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
what else the Bank of England could do because that is the iconic image | :52:12. | :52:16. | |
of her, but she is hiding her own face. Are you fond of her as you | :52:17. | :52:22. | |
know more, but are there things less endearing? Sometimes you find things | :52:23. | :52:27. | |
out that you do not want to find out? I am completely unobjective, I | :52:28. | :52:31. | |
think she is not only an important writer but an important human being. | :52:32. | :52:36. | |
I like how cruel and bitter and nasty she could be. I quite like | :52:37. | :52:44. | |
people like that. With a bit of edge. We all have our different | :52:45. | :52:45. | |
sides. Thank you for joining us. Lucy's book is called Jane Austen | :52:46. | :52:49. | |
at Home and the documentary, Jane Austen: Behind Closed Doors, | :52:50. | :52:52. | |
is on 27th May, BBC two 9pm. Matt has his shorts and sunglasses | :52:53. | :53:02. | |
on, he has been playing in the sand at Weston-Super-Mare. | :53:03. | :53:05. | |
Good morning, I certainly have. What is not to love about being here? | :53:06. | :53:10. | |
Blue skies overhead, the Bristol Channel stretching to Wales and the | :53:11. | :53:17. | |
grand Pier as well, and a lovely white van! The grand Pier was | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
reconstructed in 2010, reopened after it burned down. | :53:22. | :53:25. | |
Weston-Super-Mare only has a population short of 80,000, I think | :53:26. | :53:29. | |
there will be a fair few more coming this weekend. They get well over a | :53:30. | :53:33. | |
million visitors at least every year. Already temperatures are | :53:34. | :53:38. | |
soaring. Let's look at the forecast. Almost UK wide, the story is for hot | :53:39. | :53:45. | |
and sunny weather, barely a cloud in the sky. 22 Celsius in Porthmadog in | :53:46. | :53:49. | |
north-western parts of Wales this morning, a bit more of a breeze | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
across southern and eastern areas, keeping temperatures down a touch | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
around some southern and eastern coasts, probably welcome for many. | :53:58. | :54:01. | |
Inland under sunny skies, the sunshine is unusually strong, high | :54:02. | :54:08. | |
if not very high UV levels. Temperatures widely in the mid-20s. | :54:09. | :54:15. | |
North Wales north-west England could hit 28 Celsius, 82 Fahrenheit, and | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
in the north of Scotland, particularly around Inverness, we | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
could reach 30 degrees. If we get above 30.9 Celsius it will be the | :54:24. | :54:27. | |
warmest May Day in record in Scotland. | :54:28. | :54:29. | |
If you fancy dipping in the sea, you will have to be braver than me, | :54:30. | :54:34. | |
temperatures around 11 to 13 Celsius. We could finish in Northern | :54:35. | :54:39. | |
Ireland and northern Scotland with an isolated thunderstorm, but the | :54:40. | :54:42. | |
centre reaction takes place tonight across Wales in south-west England. | :54:43. | :54:55. | |
Dry and pretty humid tonight, uncomfortable for sleeping, | :54:56. | :54:57. | |
temperatures not dropping below the mid-teens. | :54:58. | :54:58. | |
A humid start to the weekend, silliest across Scotland and | :54:59. | :54:59. | |
northern and eastern England. Showers pushing northern and eastern | :55:00. | :55:03. | |
words across the morning. It and miss across the south, but where you | :55:04. | :55:07. | |
see showers they will be torrential in places and can give some minor | :55:08. | :55:11. | |
flooding. Northern Ireland is seeing longer spells of rain, some | :55:12. | :55:15. | |
thundery. After a sunny morning in Scotland, most of us will see | :55:16. | :55:18. | |
thunderstorms do the afternoon and evening. It could be 20 Celsius in | :55:19. | :55:23. | |
northern Scotland tomorrow, probably even warmer compared with today in | :55:24. | :55:28. | |
eastern England with the wind coming from a different direction, | :55:29. | :55:36. | |
temperatures dropping in areas, still warm with sunshine. | :55:37. | :55:38. | |
Sunny spells is the name of the game for many on Sunday. Overnight rain | :55:39. | :55:40. | |
in Scotland clears, isolated showers in the West comic humid conditions | :55:41. | :55:44. | |
across south-eastern England, we could see some torrential | :55:45. | :55:47. | |
thunderstorms returning. They will rumble into the night and bank | :55:48. | :55:51. | |
holiday Monday across the south-east of the country. At a pretty warm day | :55:52. | :55:55. | |
across the south-east on Sunday, Monday is looking a little bit | :55:56. | :56:02. | |
fresher. Storms, although it is uncertain how expansive they will | :56:03. | :56:06. | |
be. Your Bank Holiday Monday should be dry with sunny spells, but | :56:07. | :56:10. | |
compared to temperatures today of mid-to high 20s is not low 30s, we | :56:11. | :56:15. | |
are looking mid-to high teens by Monday. Even though it is cooler, | :56:16. | :56:19. | |
the sun will be every bit as strong. That is how it is looking from | :56:20. | :56:24. | |
glorious Weston-Super-Mare. Enjoyed bank holiday weekend. Back to | :56:25. | :56:29. | |
Charlie and Naga. STUDIO: Can you go and put your toes in the water? | :56:30. | :56:35. | |
It is a little bit too far, it would take too long, the tide is going | :56:36. | :56:41. | |
out. STUDIO: Not if you run! We can stay for a moment. You are | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
fine, there is a big lorry coming. STUDIO: Really, it is OK. | :56:47. | :56:52. | |
Feel free! Honestly, they are is a lorry coming behind me. Health and | :56:53. | :57:00. | |
safety. Is a lorry coming by me. STUDIO: It is fine now! We got the | :57:01. | :57:05. | |
shot of Matt Taylor in his shorts. There goes! He is off. | :57:06. | :57:10. | |
You ask and you shall receive, Charlie. | :57:11. | :57:17. | |
It is quite a long way. Come back, Matt it is cold! The health and | :57:18. | :57:23. | |
safety people are saying don't do that, comeback! Blame Charlie. | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
You can't be beside the seaside and not put your toes in the water! You | :57:29. | :57:35. | |
did not want to do that! We will not get Steph to do | :57:36. | :57:36. | |
anything! This morning, Steph is out | :57:37. | :57:38. | |
in the West Midlands with our Election Breakfast | :57:39. | :57:40. | |
butty van. What is happening where you are? | :57:41. | :57:49. | |
Good morning. A fair bit of construction going on, not quite the | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
same sound as you just saw with Matt . But the weather is gorgeous this | :57:54. | :57:59. | |
morning and we are talking about the economy, construction is obviously a | :58:00. | :58:03. | |
big part of that, the latest economic figures out yesterday | :58:04. | :58:06. | |
showed the economy was a bit slower than we thought at the beginning of | :58:07. | :58:10. | |
the year, 0.2%, that is the figure that the statisticians work out how | :58:11. | :58:14. | |
much the economy has grown by when they take into account all different | :58:15. | :58:19. | |
parts, the products and services. Olley and will are part of the team, | :58:20. | :58:24. | |
they are getting this place builds. AT affordable homes. Tell us about | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
why you decided to join this industry? It was something I was | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
always interested in, I worked with my grandad when I was younger. He | :58:34. | :58:39. | |
started you early? Really early. And it stuck with you? I always wanted | :58:40. | :58:44. | |
to go into it. You did and apprenticeship so you have been in | :58:45. | :58:48. | |
the industry for a good few years? Seven years. Can you see this being | :58:49. | :58:54. | |
your career for the future? Definitely. Brilliant. Ollie, a | :58:55. | :59:00. | |
similar thing, you did an apprenticeship? Is this something | :59:01. | :59:04. | |
you see is your lifelong career? As long as I have the work, keep busy, | :59:05. | :59:10. | |
yeah. Are you confident you will get the work? The sector has seen its | :59:11. | :59:14. | |
ups and downs? As long as I keep busy. | :59:15. | :59:19. | |
I will leave you to it, I know I am getting in a way! At this site, they | :59:20. | :59:26. | |
are building a affordable homes, a bit cheaper than the normal market | :59:27. | :59:32. | |
value, 80% of market value, so 20% less than you would normally pay. | :59:33. | :59:38. | |
Gino is one of the bosses here, tell us about the background, we were | :59:39. | :59:43. | |
hearing from the lads. This was a former commercial complex, and it | :59:44. | :59:47. | |
remained under developed for a few years, and in partnership with the | :59:48. | :59:50. | |
council, we are now building 84 affordable homes. Some affordable | :59:51. | :59:57. | |
rent, some shared ownership. We were hearing the lads talking about being | :59:58. | :00:01. | |
busy, you have got about 50 people on site, are you seeing growth? Yes, | :00:02. | :00:08. | |
we are expanding with the mike in numbers and geographically. We have | :00:09. | :00:11. | |
a West Midlands office, we are hoping to move down south, and we | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
have an office in Yorkshire as well. There tends to be a constant demand | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
for affordable housing - it might change as to whether there is more | :00:23. | :00:29. | |
need for rent, or for low-cost home ownership. Thanks very much for your | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
time, Gino. It is not all about construction, there are lots of | :00:36. | :00:39. | |
elements to the economy, 80% of our economy is services, everything from | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
retail, hospitality, financial services is an important part of it, | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
and that is where we have seen a slowing because of what is going on | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
in retail. We have a couple of experts here this morning, morning | :00:55. | :01:03. | |
to your -- you both, there is something about consumer confidence | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
at the moment. Stats show it is relatively low at the moment, not to | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
be unexpected, there is uncertainty with the general election and prices | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
have started to rise, which was predicted following Brexit and the | :01:15. | :01:18. | |
impact on currency. Retailers are facing a lot of challenges, not just | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
from Brexit, but business rates have gone up, minimum wage has gone up, | :01:23. | :01:27. | |
and are now the currency impact, so an enormous amount of pressure for | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
them to raise prices to sustain profitability that shareholders want | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
them to maintain or keep prices low, as consumers would prefer, but then | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
they are absorbing that impact on profitability. So a lot going on, | :01:42. | :01:46. | |
consumers not spending money is a problem. Rosie, tell us about your | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
retail business. We make French macaroons, and we opened April two | :01:53. | :01:56. | |
and might be in Birmingham City centre last year, it is going well, | :01:57. | :02:05. | |
but we are seeing costs increase, and we don't want to pass it our | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
customers. Because we are a social and price, it is impacting how we | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
can do that, the scale at which we can do that. -- because we are a | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
social enterprise. Thanks very much for your time, thank you for donning | :02:24. | :02:31. | |
the hard and high-vis! That is it from us this morning, we are going | :02:32. | :02:45. | |
to be all over the shop next week, we will be talking to people about | :02:46. | :02:48. | |
their thoughts on the upcoming election and what is going on with | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
the economy at the moment. You sound out of breath! | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
I don't think she caught that, Charlie thought you sounded out of | :03:00. | :03:06. | |
breath. I am just excited, I mean... | :03:07. | :03:14. | |
I am upset that you do not like the butties! | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
It's said to be the oldest trophy in international sport, | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
but Britain has never won sailing's America's Cup. | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
This year, though, four-time Olympic champion Sir Ben Ainslie | :03:25. | :03:26. | |
Ainslie and his team will start the campaign to qualify | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Our correspondent Natalie Pirks was given exclusive access to the team | :03:33. | :03:35. | |
As the most successful sailor in Olympic history, | :03:36. | :03:42. | |
Sir Ben Ainslie is well versed in pursuit of glory. | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
But over in Bermuda today, he finds himself in a most unfamiliar role - | :03:47. | :03:49. | |
In its 166-year history, no British team has ever | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
I guess you could say the America's Cup becomes a life obsession. | :03:55. | :04:03. | |
It's very hard as a new team to come into the America's Cup | :04:04. | :04:06. | |
Certainly, that's what we're aiming to achieve. | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
I think we've certainly come a long way in the last three years. | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
Four years ago he won the America's Cup, | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
the oldest trophy in sport, with US Team Oracle. | :04:20. | :04:21. | |
they came from 8-1 down to beat New Zealand 9-8. | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
This sport is dubbed Formula One on water, | :04:29. | :04:36. | |
and on Bermuda's great sound, I got a close-up view of Rita, | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
as Ainslie names all of his boats, in action. | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
It's only when you see it this close up that you can really | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
appreciate these are boats - they're like planes, | :04:49. | :04:50. | |
they are gliding over the water on the foils, | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
and the aim is to not touch the water as much as possible, | :04:55. | :04:57. | |
because that will minimise drag and of course make them go faster. | :04:58. | :05:00. | |
It's all generated by sheer muscle from the sailors. | :05:01. | :05:08. | |
The boats are capable of hitting up to 60mph. | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
But BAR have struggled a little in practice. | :05:14. | :05:16. | |
Ainslie's wife, Georgie, who has moved with him to Bermuda | :05:17. | :05:20. | |
with their ten-month-old daughter and their two dogs, | :05:21. | :05:22. | |
believes his rivals write him off at their peril. | :05:23. | :05:26. | |
If you're silly enough to wind him up to that level where he feels | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
he'll respond the only way he knows how, which is to win on the water. | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
Rookies BAR have spent ?110 million on this dream. | :05:36. | :05:43. | |
?6.5 million of that is taxpayers' cash | :05:44. | :05:45. | |
to help them build their Portsmouth HQ, | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
but for Ainslie, the trophy would be priceless. | :05:49. | :05:50. | |
Personally and for everyone in this team, | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
I believe it would be the biggest achievement | :05:56. | :05:57. | |
if we can pull this off, if we can win | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
Look at our sporting maritime heritage, | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
it's the one thing that's missing, it would be huge. | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
Mild-mannered out of the water, ruthless on it. | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
This knight of the realm is a man on a mission. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
The weather looks nice there, but it is just as nice here, I will just | :06:12. | :06:27. | |
make that point extra it is as hot here as it would be | :06:28. | :08:16. | |
Even though David Bowie died early last year, his legend lives on. One | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
story you might not be so familiar with is that of Mick Ronson. He | :08:24. | :08:31. | |
worked on many of David Bowie's greatest albums, and he narrated a | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
documentary about him before he died. | :08:35. | :08:39. | |
of Ziggy Stardust and the Spider from Mars | :08:40. | :08:43. | |
aims to celebrate Mick Ronson's talent, | :08:44. | :08:45. | |
the director, Jon Brewer, is here to tell us all about it, | :08:46. | :08:47. | |
He was actually brilliant at divining | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
what I meant when I would describe in words | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
what I wanted as the shape of the solo in certain songs. | :08:56. | :08:58. | |
The one on Time is a perfect example, for instance. | :08:59. | :09:00. | |
One thing he adored doing while recording | :09:01. | :09:14. | |
so that there would be a great wedge of sound | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
in certain areas of songs, and from there he could | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
fly off into his sinewy lines and riffs in a heartbeat. | :09:23. | :09:32. | |
Jon, the first people will hear watching that, of course, that is | :09:33. | :09:42. | |
David Bowie's own voice, and he did part of the voice-over for the | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
documentary. Yes, he did, and he said it up in a rather antennae | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
wake, because he gave me the chapters, really, and it was his | :09:52. | :10:03. | |
gift to the documentary. -- a rather uncanny way. It was some time before | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
he died, but nobody really knew what was happening, and he set it out | :10:07. | :10:15. | |
just as I made the film, really. And you introduce us, in effect, I had | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
never heard of Mick Ronson before, there will be many people who know | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
more about music will have done, but give us a snapshot. He was probably | :10:26. | :10:32. | |
one of the greatest arrangers of our time, and he was described as the | :10:33. | :10:40. | |
engines for Bowie, he created this wonderful folk singer songwriter | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
into a great rock and roll, and he went on to do Lou Reed and Morris | :10:43. | :10:52. | |
sea and other artists. But at the beginning he was a humble gardener | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
for Hull county council, and he became a guitarist. He had been | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
trained musically at school, and he then developed to become certainly | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
the most incredible arranger and artist. The detail in these stories | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
is so fascinating, I love hearing when people get their first break, | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
and you mention he was a gardener at in Hull, and there was a story about | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
when they first went to try and find him, people knew how good he was | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
with guitar, but he was doing white lines on a rugby pitch. And David | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
Bowie had been introduced to him by a drama that he was playing with in | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
a band called the Rats. He said, you have got to hear this guy, David. | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
David drove up with Angie and went to meet his mum, and the next thing, | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
a few weeks later, he was down on Top Of The Pops. And he had been | :11:52. | :11:57. | |
sort of recording with David, and then of course the big break came in | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
America, and that is a different story. But the thing was, Mick | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
Ronson was responsible for that big push. Anyone who has watched the | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
documentary, we have been privy to it and managed to enjoy it, there | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
are lots of interesting stories, but people will see how the pop music | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
world came to someone who had no idea about it, from the size of | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
David Bowie's house that they were living in, working with Lou Reed, | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
who he wasn't too impressed with in the first place. That was early | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
times, of course, because we were breaking ground then, and we just | :12:40. | :12:45. | |
went with the flow and did the best that we possibly could. He said that | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
he could put his whole house in the size of the house that David had, | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
renting for ?7 a week, extraordinary. I made this will not | :12:56. | :13:00. | |
only for Mick's legacy, because after the premiere at the Mayfair | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
theatre, people were going, I am so glad you have done this, but I did | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
it for David as well, because it was a big struggle. David didn't know | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
quite how to cope with letting everybody know how responsible Mick | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
Ronson was, and he just ran out of time. He was getting back with Bowie | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
in the 1990s, but he ran out of time, he died in 1982. The memorial | :13:24. | :13:31. | |
concert for Freddie Mercury was wonderful, he died a few days later. | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
It is a real insight into a person's life, you may not be familiar with | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
him, but you certainly will be after this. Thank you for talking to us. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Great, I hope everybody enjoyed the film. | :13:47. | :13:48. | |
